THE WESTERN FRONT

Conflicts with

Western's faculty union
members aren't the only employees
engaged in conflict with
the university administration.
On Friday, Western's high-level
administrative^ support
workers' and supervisors' union
went up against .the administration
in Whatcom County Superior
Court. The administrative
support workers and supervisors
belong to Unit D of Western's
Public School Employees of
Washington union.
The Unit D union has been
having difficulty bargaining its
contract with Western's administration
since 2004, said Susan
Banton, president of the Unit D
union and Western procurement
and supply specialist.
The administrative support
workers and supervisors are
concerned because the administration
is denying them the right
of interest arbitration, where a
neutral third party, or arbitrator,
is called in to settle disputes between
employer and employee.
In interest arbitration, the arbitrator
gets input from the administration
and the employees*
union but has the final say in set-

At the start of his sophomore
year of college, Western
senior Chris Fuhrmann was diagnosed
with Noh-Hodgkin's
Lymphoma, which is cancer of
the lymphatic system.
"I had a tumor in.my liver
and my skull and my central nervous
system," Fuhrmann said.
"I went through many different
kinds of IV drugs and injections
of the spinal cord."
Fuhrmann said over the
course of 16 weeks, he received
treatment while still attending
school part time.
He said he felt sick," tiredp
and lethargic during treatment^
despite the support he received?
from family and friends.
But Fuhrmann said he felt
empowered when he saw shirts
and bracelets from the Relay for
Life, an annual event which raises
money for cancer research,
worn by students at Western.

THE WESTERN FRONT
The Associated Students
(AS) is an organization that extends
to many areas of Western's
campus.
Founded 100 years ago, in
2008 the AS is governed by the
members of the AS Board of Directors
who, after being elected
by the student body, have a significant
impact in the creation
and execution of all'the services
and programs the AS oversees.
This year's AS Board of Directors'
terms in office will end
when spring quarter ends.
The newly-elected members
will then assume their roles
within the student government
and lead the AS into the 2008-09
academic year.
In addition to being the
100th anniversary of the AS,
2008 also marks the 50th anniversary
of the Viking Union.
The Outdoor Center, the Social
Issues Resource Center and
the Viking Union Gallery are all
made possible by AS Programs.
