HE WESTERN FRONT DAY, JULY 7, 2005 • WESTERN WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY • BELLINGHAM, WASH. • WESTERNFRONTONLINE.COM ISSUE 3 VOLUME 13 1 A Dance faculty may * not return next fall BY KATIE MATHIS The Western Front Western's dance program may be missing three of its most popular teachers when school resumes fall quarter. Dance instructors Pamela Kuntz, Dionne Noble and Andy Noble expected to return to their jobs this fall, but the program has not renewed their contracts. Dance program director Nolan Dennett and Carol Edwards, dean of the College of Fine and Performing Arts, make the decisions about whether to hire new faculty or renew current faculty members' contracts. Married couple Dionne and Andy Noble, who held adjunct positions as teachers in the dance program, said Dennett gave them verbal and written confirmation that the program would renew their contracts for next year, Dionne Noble said. Dionne Noble said she signed a contract to renew her position for one more year. "I thought in all faith I had a job," she said. Dionne and Andy Noble each received an e-mail from Dennett and Edwards that said the program would not renew their contracts for next year but did not give a reason why. This information surprised them because Andy Noble said he and his wife feel they work hard and give a lot of their time to the program and its students. For example, Dionne Noble got a $43,000 grant for the dance program this past year. Dionne Noble, who is expecting the couple's first child in August, said she no longer has the security of health insurance after losing her job. She said this decision came late in the year and she and her husband are uncertain what they are going to do for jobs. . Edwards declined to comment on whether the program renewed Dionne and Andy Noble's contracts or if Dionne Noble ever signed a contract. Edwards said she is unsure when the program will make the decision regarding who will teach classes next year. Kuntz, whc also held an adjunct position, has worked in Western's dance program for six years and taught classes such as ballet technique and movement and culture. She said Dennett and Edwards told her in April that she would have a full-time position in the program next year. Western kayaker disappears see DANCE, page 8 PHOTO COURTESY OF BRAD CABOT Western senior Brent Bradley has been missing since a June 16 kayaking trip in California. BY JESSICA DIGNAN The Western Front A memorial service for missing kayaker Brent Bradley, a Western senior, took place June 29 in Hovander Homestead Park in Ferndale. Bradley, 20, disappeared while on a white-water kayaking trip with his brother, Ryan Bradley, and two friends June 16 on the Clavey River near Yosemite National Park in Tuolumne County, Calif, friend and Western junior Brad Cabot said. The other kayakers paddled along the right side of the river while Bradley went down the center of the falls. Bradley went over a waterfall and got stuck in churning water behind a boulder. Almost immediately, his paddle popped up and some of his gear surfaced, Cabot said. Using a kayak rescue technique, his fellow kayakers went upstream and threw ropes into the hole, trying to give Bradley something to hold onto. After having no luck with the ropes, the group went downstream, hoping the fast current had flushed Bradley down the river. When they still did not find him, they kayaked approximately two hours downstream until they were able to access a telephone and notify Tuolumne County authorities, Cabot said..... Tuolumne County search and rescue looked for two days after Bradley went missing and recovered his kayak, which had broken in half, and most of his gear June 17, Lt. George Ruckman of the Tuoluirine County Sheriff's Office said. Ruckman said Tuolumne County authorities are no longer searching the area with officers on foot, though they are still periodically sending out helicopters to view the area and search for Bradley. "Pending a change in water flow, there is not much more see KAYAKER, page 8 Chef to put natural foods in Arntzen Atrium SUSAN ROSENBERRY/The Western Front Viking Union chef manager Doug Johansson prepares a variety of vegetables for wraps and salads served at the Viking Market. BY SUSAN ROSENBERRY The Western Front The Viking Union's new chef manager is answering some Western students' plea for healthy food options with a natural food stand in the Arntzen Atrium. Viking Union chef manager Doug Johansson is developing a natural food stand that Western dining services planned in the Arntzen Atrium, Johansson said. The atrium, which will reopen next fall after construction, will have a stand with organic food options such as vegetables and fruit, he said. "We're here to serve the students," Johansson said. "If we didn't respond to their needs, we'd get fired. If you were Steven Spielberg and you made movies that you really liked but the audience hated, you'd be fired." Susan Vogelson, resident district manager of University Dining Services, decided the Arntzen Atrium was a suitable-size venue at which to sell locally produced vegetables at their inflated prices. The quantities that are necessary to stock the atrium are smaller than for any of the dining halls. Not enough demand exists among students to warrant stocking larger venues with organic foods. The natural food stand will provide organic, vegetarian and vegan options ranging from snacks, drinks and meals to fresh-made food and packaged produce, depending on the foods the dining services chooses to purchase, she said. University Dining Services will purchase the vegetables and fruit for the atrium's natural food stand from Charlie's Produce, Vogelson said. Western's University Dining Services hired Johansson May 23 to join the food services managerial team, she said. "I have been interested in working with a larger food service provider," Johansson said. "There are very few companies in that department available in Washington that are large enough for me to work with where I can grow with them without.it losing its attraction." Sodexho requires staff members to have experience with a high volume of food and quick service, Vogelson said. These skills are crucial because the Viking Commons alone serves approximately 20,000 meals each week. Johansson's position at the Viking Market renders him accountable for a variety of tasks including scheduling caterers, purchasing materials and controlling costs for catering services in addition to developing the natural food stand. "When you're a chef, you're constantly solving problems," Johansson said. "You have to always have great food; that's your report card. You're also trying to do things better than the day before — cleaner, faster and tastier. And of course, soon as you solve one problem, another one pops up."
