Western women's fastpitch is
riding high on a wave that has
carried them to a regular-season
league championship. And this
wave may not have even crested
yet.
The Vikings (21-19, 11-5)
swept the final twinbill of the
regular season against the
University of Puget Sound on
Tuesday, lifting them to their
first Pacific Northwest Athletic
Conference title. Western, victorious
in its last seven league
contests, now hosts the PNWAC
playoffs as the No. 1 seed. The
games start at noon today and
Saturday at Frank Geri Fields as
the Vikings attempt to advance
to the NAIA Pacific Northwest
Regional Tournament on May
10 and 11, hosted by the
Cascade Conference champion.
Western's one-two pitching
punch of freshman Alison
Haukaas and senior Diana Joy
was once again phenomenal in
the 8-0 and 7-1 victories.
Loggers hitters could muster
only five hits on the day against
the ace hurlers.
"The pitchers have been good
all year. The pitching has been
the one constant that has kept us
going the entire year," Head
Coach Art Phinney said.
Haukaas (10-10) struck out
six in lowering her PNWAC-leading
ERA to 1.56 and going
the distance for the 19th time in
her 20 starts.
"We wanted to get our hits,
we wanted to keep our intensity
up and we wanted to win,"
Haukaas said.
Joy retired the last 10 batters
she faced on the way to her
ninth victory. She has won her
last four decisions.
"I've really found my intensity
in the last few games of the
season — really beared down,"
Joy said. "When you start thinking
'wow,' this is your last couple
of games, you really get into
it, I guess."
Joy complemented her precision
pitching with a blistering
bat. She had a pair of hits,
including a run-scoring double
down the third-base line with
two-outs in the sixth inning for
some insurance in the nightcap.
In fact, all of the Vikings' bats
sprang to life. They pounded out
16 hits and 15 runs Tuesday in
their two most decisive victories
of the year.
Brenda Blancas continued her
recent trend of game-winning
RBI as she hit her second home
run of the year in the opener.
The three-run blast turned

Students warned thefts
in library on the rise
By Bryan Woodward
The Western Front
Five minutes.
For students studying in Wilson
Library, five minutes is normally
enough time to take a restroom
break, get a drink of water, and
maybe say a quick hello to a nearby
friend before re-engaging in
homework.
But for junior community
health major Jamie Olson, five
minutes was enough time for a
robber to sneak into her belongings,
steal her $50 health book
and leave without a trace.
"I got up for five minutes to see
my friends who were in a nearby
study room," said Olson of the
crime that took place during last
quarter's dead week. "When I
came back, my book was gone.
At first I thought someone was
playing a joke on me."
Crime in Wilson Library is no
joke.
As the second-half of the quarter
approaches, textbook crime,
like Olson's, may become more
frequent.
"It used to be common. Its happened
in the past; especially during
the last weeks of the quarter,"
said Lt. Dave Doughty of the
Univeristy Police. "They (robbers)
will steal the books and sell
them back to the bookstore for
money."
Even with the real threat of
textbook crime in Wilson Library,
a lack of funding to provide minimal
security means students are
alone in safeguarding their
belongings.
"We couldn't keep the green-coats,"
said Wilson Library
Administrator Rick Osen of the
student-security staff that provided
night protection until it was
eliminated at the end of spring
quarter last year. "The same funds
we use to hire the greencoats, we
also use to hire staff workers. We
thought keeping our library staff
was better."
"We don't have anyone stationed
there anymore," Doughty
said. "It's hard. Now we try to
have University Police staff go
through there once in awhile, but
no one is scheduled on a regular
basis."
Currently, at Eastern

WSL contribution doubles
By Kristen T. Paulson
The Western Front
The referendum to increase the Washington
Student Lobby contribution from $1 to $2 passed
narrowly in the election last Tuesday and
Wednesday in the general AS election.
Only about five percent of the student population
voted, with 54.9 percent voting for the referendum,
and 44.1 percent voting against.
"I think that since only five percent of the student
population voted, the referendum probably doesn't
represent the opinions of the student body," said Liz
Smith, AS vice president for external affairs and
member of the WSL board of directors.
"But it does represent the very valid opinions of
the people who cared enough to seek it out and vote
on it.
"Those (who voted) are probably the people whcT
are going to be contributing their dollars,"
she added.
About a third of Western students normally contribute
to the WSL. In the past, it has been as high as
80 percent and as low as 17 percent, due to different
check-off procedures.
"One of the most interesting things about raising
the fee is that we expected the rate of contributions
to drop," Smith said. "Actually, the percentage has
gone up. We don't know why — it's one of those
unexplained miracles, and it's happened across the
board."
The main reason for the fee increase throughout
the state is that the member chapters wanted to be
able to fund on-campus projects, as well as WSL's
activities in Olympia.
"I think the fee change will allow us to have a lot
more on-campus projects," Smith said. "That's one
of the reasons we wanted to implement the $2 fee.
