• HE WESTERN FRONT ISSUE 8 VOLUME 133 Y, APRIL 26, 2005 • WESTERN WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY • BELLINGHAM, WASH. • WESTERNFRONTONLINE.COM Parents discuss death CHRIS HUBER/The Western Front Cindy and Craig Corrie, parents of the late Rachel Corrie, a volunteer killed in Gaza, discuss their goals of furthering their daughter's aspirations by traveling throughout the world educating people about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Family of fallen peace activist speaks at Western . BY SARAH KUCK The Western Front Two days before she died at age 23, Olympia native Rachel Corrie talked with the Middle East Broadcasting Corp. about the atrocities she had witnessed since arriving in the disputed territory of Gaza Strip in Israel. As she described the shootings and demolitions she had seen, dust-caked bulldozers pushed rubble from recently flattened Palestinian homes in the background. Craig and Cindy Corrie brought this footage of their daughter to Western, along with stories of her courage and compassion for what she lived and died for — peace. Sunday evening the Conies showed the film about their daughter, "Peace, Propaganda and the Promised Land: U.S. media and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict," and Monday they spoke to students in Fraser Hall. They also enlightened the crowd with stories about the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The Corries live in Olympia but travel frequently throughout the country to educate people and bring attention to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. "We hope to continue the work of Rachel to bring peace to a troubled area," Cindy Corrie said. "We want to bring a bit of Rachel to you." The Community Human Rights Film Festival invited the Corries to speak before the showing of its final film of the festival, which took place at Fairhaven Auditorium. see CORRIE, page 4 Directors agree with code violation ruling Editor's Note: Shannon Hutchinson was not interviewed for this story, nor is her association with The Western Front the basis for this article. BY PETER JENSEN The Western Front The Associated Students board of directors upheld an election board ruling that found Western senior Tony Russo, a candidate for AS president, guilty of distributing false information relating to his involvement with the creation of the AS Review. . The board ruled that Russo's actions were in violation of the AS election code. For violating the code, Russo has not been able to post campaign materials, such as posters and signs, on campus since April 21, the day after the election board's ruling. During an appeal meeting Monday, the seven-member board of directors failed to pass Russo's appeal,.thus upholding the ruling. Russo's opponents, Western juniors Nick Cizek and Shannon Hutchinson, filed the grievances responsible for the election board's ruling. The board voted 3-2 in favor of the amendment but failed to garner the four votes necessary to pass it, said Rachel Zommick, Western senior and AS president. Russo, vice president for business and operations, and Western graduate student Brian Gettmann, vice president for academic affairs, abstained from voting. "My hope is that the voters cast their ballots based on the issues, not a board of directors ruling," Russo said. Russo is still able to campaign by holding signs and communicating with voters. He also participated in the election debates Monday with the other candidates. During this year's campaign, the election board has found Russo guilty of violating three sections of the election code, said Peter Graves, Western junior and.VP for legislative affairs. "He knows the code and has had months to prepare his campaign and prevent these errors," Gra_ves said. Nevertheless, Graves voted in favor of the amendment because he did not agree with the extent of the punishment. Had the board passed the amendment, Graves said it would have reduced Russo's punishment. The election board assigned this punishment because of the severity of Russo's violation and because he had two previous violations this year, said Brett Jordan, Westerm sophomore and election board chair. Western senior Matt Wood, the VP for activities, voted against the amendment. "I think the punishment doesn't fit the crime because the punishment wasn't harsh enough," Wood said. Major allows students to dance their way to a degree BY KATE MILLER The Western Front Western is offering a Bachelor of Arts degree and a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in dance for the first time beginning this quarter. "It is a really exciting time to be a student," said Western junior Ty Vennewitz, who is seeking a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in dance. Western is the only liberal arts school in Washington to offer a Bachelors of Fine Arts degree in dance. The dance program designed the degree for students who intend to pursue professional careers in dance, said Nolan Dennett, the director of Western's dance program. On the other hand, the Bachelor of Arts degree provides a general dance .education, he said. Western still offers a dance minor and a teaching endorsement, which enables students to teach dance classes after graduation. Developing a dance major at Western was a five-year, incremental process, Dennett said. The majors received approval at the college level two years ago, which means all the departments at Western agreed to support it. Then Western, as a university, accepted the degrees as majors. After that, Dennett said the majors went into a holding pattern until Carol Edwards, the new dean of fine arts, who the university appointed in 2004, approved them. The next step was for the Washington Higher Education Coordination Board, which monitors the activity of colleges and universities in Washington, to approve the majors. The majors received final approval March 4. "At that point it began to take on a life of its own," Dennett said of the continuing success of the those majoring in dance since the March approval. Preliminary enrollment in the major has been greater than the program creators originally anticipated. "As of March 4, we have 12 majors on the books," Dennett said. see DANCE, page 4 CHRIS HUBER/The Western Front Western students practice dance moves Wednesday during their modern dance 2 class in Carver Gym. 4/20 ALERT The Drug Information Center gives students answers to drug-related questions.
