ft HE WESTERN FRONT ISSUE 6 VOLUME 133 Y, APRIL 19, 2005 • WESTERN WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY • BELLINGHAM, WASH. • WESTERNFRONTONLINE.COM Mallard makes a move MICHAEL MURRAY/The Western Front An increase in business has forced Mallard Ice Cream to pack up and move to Railroad Avenue. The store has been at its current location on Holly Street for nearly six years. Downtown icecream spot moves to Railroad Avenue BY SARAH KUCK The Western Front. Filling the shop to capacity, ice cream lovers lined up Friday night to experience the variety of flavors Mallard Ice Cream has to offer. "I have been coming here since they opened," said Emily Rutter, a first-grade teacher at St. Paul's Episcopalian Elementary School. "I have always loved it. It's always been exceptional." Mallard Ice Cream is located at-207 E. Holiy St. —but not for long. Because of booming business, the local favorite will soon move to Railroad Avenue. Vacant for nearly six years, the empty space nestled between the Bagelry and Mad Hatter Clothing will be the new home of Mallard Ice Cream, said Ben Scholtz, owner of Mallard Ice Cream. The new building will be twice as wide, an increase in size from 15,000 square feet to approximately 32,000 square feet. The 20-foot entrance will have sliding doors for outdoor seating, which will open to the street, Scholtz said. see MALLARD, page 5 LGBTA creates pen-pal program with Jamaicans BY LINDSAY HAMSIK The Western Front The Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender Alliance has formed a new committee to organize a pen-pal program between Western students and people in the developing world, said Jesse Raymond, Western sophomore and LGBTA assistant coordinator. Western graduate student Paige Evans is organizing the committee with LGBTA funding, the goal of which she said is to establish 50 to 75 pen-pal connections in the global South. The committee will collaborate with Amnesty International and other non-governmental organizations to obtain contacts in the global South, Evans said. She said she expects the majority of connections to come from Jamaica. "Jamaica has been deemed by Amnesty International as one of the most homophobic countries in the world," Evans said. ' The, LGBTA committee may find it difficult to find individuals to correspond with, Evans said, because violence has forced lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people in other areas of the world underground. An example of this, she said, is the recent murder of the leader of the only LGBTA organization in Jamaica. "This is my way of getting people in this country to learn about the hardships of LGBT people elsewhere," Evans said. Evans said she plans to distribute addresses to students involved with LGBTA who are serious about having a pen pal. Following the distribution of addresses, the committee will meet every two weeks to talk about the see LGBTA, page 6 University to ban club meetings from lounges BY NIC RILEY The Western Front Bible study groups and other Associated Students clubs accustomed to meeting in university residence hall lounge areas may soon have to find someplace else to go. Residence hall lounges are study spaces, not gathering places for extracurricular groups, according to a new university policy. University Residences judicial officer Michael Sledge said the university plans to implement a campus-wide policy next year identical to the one that exists in Fairhaven's residence halls. Fairhaven's policy denies reservations to groups who want to use the lounges for exclusive meetings. "Those facilities are provided with money from people who live there," Sledge said. "We feel the residents should be able to take advantage of the space they're paying for. There is plenty of classroom space available for these groups to meet in and the Viking Union." Residence Life associate director Peter Rosenberg said his office decided to implement Fairhaven's policy after receiving complaints from residents. Lounge spaces exist primarily for staff and hall council programs, for academic purposes and for informal resident use, he said. Students were concerned that when they tried to access their see CLUBS, page 5 Self-defense class teaches women how to counteract potential attacks BY COURTNEY WALKER The Western Front One in every three women will be sexually assaulted in their lifetime, and every woman needs to learn how to defend herself against an assailant, self-defense instructor Gerry Ebalaroza said. Ebalaroza said she has been a self-defense instructor for six years and has been practicing martial arts and Wing Chun, a form of Chinese kung-fu, for more than 20 years. She owns her own self-defense training company called Atura. She said Wing Chun is the best form of martial arts for a woman to learn because it teaches how to attack a perpetrator at close range with hand-to-hand combat. Ebalaroza teaches a class from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. Monday nights. Classes began April 18 at the Bellingham Tennis Club. She also will have two seminars about self-defense awareness and basic see CLASS, page 6 Photo Courtesy of Gerry Ebalaroza Two of Gerry Ebalaroza's students, Catie Burr, 24, and Nicole Haugen, 24, practice self-defense maneuvers.
