GIMDEilELiA STORY: STUDENTS DONATE PROM DRESSES, TOXES.MCEI THE WESTERN WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY June could be last stop for shuttle BY JEFFREY LUXMORE The Western Front Unless Western finds a new funding source, the Commuter Loop Shuttle system will stop operating at the end of spring quarter. The shuttle, which is free to ride, includes three buses operating on two routes throughout the day during fall, winter and spring quarters. One bus travels from Buchanan Towers to Red Square along East College Way. Two buses run along Bill McDonald Parkway to connect Red Square to the Administrative Services Center on 32nd Street. One bus operates the 32nd Street route during summer quarter and intercessions. Western senior Shannon Hutchinson, the Associated Students president, said the AS allocated $50,000 last year to help fund the shuttle for the 2005-2006 school year. She said the AS intended for the money to fund the shuttle for one year to allow Western's administration more time to find funding to sustain the. service. The AS budget can't give any more money to the shuttle, Hutchinson said. Carol Berry, Western's alternative transportation coordinator^ said no particular department on campus is responsible for finding funding for the shuttle program. The fees students pay to use campus parking lots would not cover the see BUS, page 6 TAYLOR WILLIAMS / THE WESTERN FRONT Western students board one of the university's three shuttles on Monday behind the Communications Facility. Western will discontinue this free service next year if no new funding is found. TUESDAY, APRIL 18,2006 ISSUE 6, VOLUME 137 Marijuana rally / TAYLOR WILLIAMS/THE WESTERN FRONT Western junior Aida Burgos paints the stem of a six-foot model of a bong pipe. Club members constructed the model from metal duct piping, and it will be on display in Red Square Thursday. x Students build six-foot replica of smoking pipe BY BECKIE ROSILLO The Western Front A politically-motivated, six-foot-tall bong pipe is not something most Western students would normally find in the center of Red Square, or anywhere for that matter. Members of the WWU Libertarians club will protest by displaying the bong pipe from 11a.m. to 2 p.m. Thursday in Red Square to show their support for the fight to legalize marijuana. Graduate student and club member Hannah Pendergrast said the club members hope to inspire students to discuss the war on drugs and aren't condoning marijuana use. The bong is to gain students'attention, she said. .-"It's 'a really contentious issue," she said. "This is^not an encouragement to actually do anything illegal. It would be a choice on part of the individual smoker." A similar event hosted by the UW Libertarians club at the University of ^Washington in October 2005 prompted Western club members to construct the pipe. The club's advisor, Western lecturer Bruce Guthrie, said he and Western freshman Zack Elan, the club's^ vice chair, constructed the bong out of duct piping one night in Guthrie's garage. The metal piping is commonly used in air conditioning ducts, Elan said. Elan said the club members will distribute educational pamphlets about the war on drugs and its negative effects. see LAW, page 6 Ridgeway hall council cancels annual event BY JTJLIE WAGGOISER The Western Front Beta/Gamma hall council didn't hold its annual Culture Shock event this April for the first time in 16 years. The event was canceled because of a lack of participation from culture-oriented Associated Students clubs on Easter weekend and the resignation of two hall council member, said Western freshman Stewart Schaefer, former Beta/ . Gamma Residence Hall Association representative. Culture Shock is a spring quarter program open to all Western students. Normally, student-run cultural and ethnic groups, such as the Black Student Union and the Vietnamese Student Association, set up booths with cultural information and activities in the Viking Union Multipurpose Room, Schaefer said. Schaefer and Rachel Lewis, former hall council treasurer, resigned April 4 due in part to differences in opinion regarding how the council should be spending its money, Lewis said.
