Hip-hop team jumps back
BY JEFFREY LUXMORE
The Western Front
The Western hip-hop dance team will
perform at Downtown Johnny's Nightclub
tonight, one year after the Western
athletic department banned the team from
performing at home basketball games.
The team continued to practice after being
banned from games, said Julie Raymond,
Western junior and captain of the team. The
department banned the team in February
2005 because of community complaints
about the content of the team's performance,
Raymond said.
Raymond said the dancing wasn't
inappropriate.
"I would never do something that would
disrespect me, the dancers or the crowd,"
she said.
Raymond said Caparas met with Steve
Brummel, director of athletic marketing, in
September 2005, when he decided to not
allow the team to perform.
"It was hurtful for them to tell us, 'Nope,
we're not going to let you do what you're
passionate about,'" Raymond said.
Brummel said team members didn't ask
him if they could perform at this season's
basketball games.
He said when the team first performed at
the games they were energetic and the crowd

AS considers student bus fee
BY JEFFREY LUXMORE
The Western Front
The Associated Students board
of directors discussed adding a
transportation fee initiative to the
ballots for spring elections in a
meeting Wednesday.
The transportation fee,
which would cost each Western
student $20 per quarter, would
provide students with a Whatcom
Transportation Authority bus pass.
Revenue from the fee would
allow Western to purchase night
bus service from the WTA that
would continue until midnight
or later. Students have often
expressed interest in later service,
said Western senior Tony Russo, a
member of the AS. transportation
advisory committee.
The board must file the
initiative by April 6 for it to be on
the spring ballots.
The proposed service increase

The new transportation fee would cost Western students an
extra $20 per quarter and would allow Whatcom Transportation
Authority to offer bus services at night on campus.
includes eight buses per hour
from downtown to south campus,
Russo said.
The two routes would split at
south campus, with four buses
per hour serving the Happy Valley
neighborhood and along Bill
McDonald Parkway, he said.
