Campus buried in 15 inches of snow
Katie Regan
THE WESTERN FRONT
Bellingham was treated to
a snow day on Monday, Nov. 26.
Heavy snowfall the day before
blanketed the town in up to 15
inches of snow and ice, closing
many store! and businesses, city
government, and even Western
and otherjbcal schools.
Snowfall began early
Sunday1 'morning and stayed
strong until about 10 p.m. Many
businesses began shutting
down Sunday due to dangerous
driving conditions.
"I was supposed to work
a closing^shift at Old Navy,"
Western junior Brandi Cole
said. "But the mall closed at
4:30 p.m., so I got to play in the
snow instead."
By noon the roads were
covered in snow and ice, and
cars were sliding into ditches
and getting ;stuck.
"I tried to drive to the store
and my car didn?t make it out of
my driveway," Western junior
Kim Coulter said. "Now it's
sitting on the street buried in
snow."
Many people gave up on
cars that day and walked where
they needed to go.
"Walking wasn't much
better," Coulter said. "I walked
to Haggen and it was the worst
thing even With the wind and
the snow, it hurt so bad I was
almost crying."
Western president Karen
Morse and vice president
George Pierce made the
decision on Sunday to close
the university Monday due to

dangerous conditions.
"It's really ra^e for.Western
to close in bad weather" said
University Communications
employee"Amy Cloud. '"Closing
the school is a really big
decision that the president has
to make."
The last time Western
closed was in January of 2005
because of ice on the roads.
The heavy snowfall also
made it difficult for a lot
of students to get back into
town after the Thanksgiving
weekend.

New building will house animal testing labs
G.S. Raugust
THE WESTERN FRONT
It is an unlikely place for
potentially life-saving research
to occur, but down a skinny
stairway in Miller Hall, past
a sign that reads "restricted
access," that is exactly what is
happening.
Visitors walking into
Western's widely-debated
animal research labs on the bare
concrete floors beneath exposed
pipes and wires might never
have a clue they are entering
an area where arguably some
of the most crucial research on
campus is being done.
Built in 1943, Miller Hall
is one of the oldest buildings
on campus. In the basement
labs, scientists spend long hours
researching topics such as
schizophrenia and drug/alcohol
addiction, in a lack of natural
lighting and ventilation.
But Western researchers
won't be stuck in the dark for
much longer. The Academic
Instructional Center (AIC),
scheduled to be completed just
south of the Communications
Facility in fall 2008, will house
new human and animal research
labs, updating and expanding
Western's neuroscience program
to make it safer and more
comfortable for the animals and
scientists.
"Poor lighting and the
absence of natural light . is
not optimal for areas where
people spend their entire
workday," Western behavioral
neuroscience professor Janet
Finlay wrote in an e-mail.
