Get into the season FEATURES, 6-7 VOLLEYBALL: Men's team places in tournament SPORTS, 8 V Tuesday, April 29,1997 Volume 100 Issue 8 WESTERN FRONT Western Washington University Bellingham, Washington Parberry quietly absorbs Cage By Amy Christiansen The Western Front The Carver Gymnasium lower weight room will no longer be a free workout facility for Western students, but will become an extension of the Lou Parberry Fitness Center when renovations that began last week are complete, said Kathleen Knutzen, chairperson of Western's Physical Education, Health and Recreation Department. As a result of the final decision made by the PEHR and athletic departments, the Associated Students and C a m p u s R e c r e a t i on said some e m p l o y e e s have lost hours and many students have unexpectedly lost the only facility on lower campus where they were able to work out for free. AS Vice President for Student Life J.P. Elliott said the decision was not brought to their attention until renovations were already underway. Beginning fall quarter, membership costs for the lower weight room, known to its devotees as "the Cage," will be included in the-$32.34 Parberry fee. "If a student wants to join Parberry, they'll be able to use \MtstudeM wants to art^wy, they'll be %o t^^m>th facilities. There will be no free facility. both facilities," Knutzen said. "There will be no free facility." Elliott explained that the Athletic and Recreation Committee responsible for advising the departments on issues that affect a large percentage of the student body, such as- the Parberry renovation, is now obsolete because of new NCAA rules. Although the AS was not notified of the fact that the Cage would become part of Parberry, Elliott hopes that the departments may be willing to make a compromise, such as reserving a few hours a day that would remain open t o ' utmHrnem^ bers. "I feel like the students' concerns need to be heard and Kathy Knutzen said she'd be happy.to talk to anyone who's concerned," Elliot said. Mike Gent, a student employed by Campus Recreation since fall quarter, was the first to be informed a week and a half ago that his hours at the Cage were cut. Employees were not notified at the beginning of spring quarter that the renovation would be taking place, he said. "Campus Recreation," Gent explained, "is one of the best places on campus to work. They See Cage, page 4 Hope central to Good-all's work with chimpanzees -Kaffi: PEHR^airpe^n By Scott Morris The Western Front The zookeeper slipped, startling a nearby infant chimpanzee. Three female chimps attacked the zookeeper, defending their little one. Old Man, the large male chimp whom the Florida zookeeper had befriended, ran over in a clear display of aggression. But despite having been abused and kept in a 5-by-5 foot cage in his youth, Old Man intervened on the zookeeper's behalf, shooing the females away. "To me this is a very symbolic story," Jane Goodall told a packed Carver Gym Monday evening, "because if an abused chimp can reach across this gap, -thensurely rmfrfah1 beings' with our (supposedly) greater capacity for sympathy ... can reach out to chimpanzees in their need." Goodall, the world's foremost expert on chimpanzees, used many such colorful stories as examples of how humans can reach out to help the animals she has studied for 37 years. Two themes competed throughout the talk: conservation efforts face depressingly huge challenges, but Goodall still remains optimistic these challenges can be met. "One of the questions I'm asked the most is: 'Jane, do you think there's hope?'" Goodall said she knows many environmentalists who would say humans have gone so far exploiting the planet's resources that Front/Tom Degan Jane Goodall speaks in crowded Carver Gym on Monday. there is no room for hope. "It's very disheartening to hear what is happening to chimpanzees around the world today," she said. When she first started studying chimpanzees in Tanzania in 1960, more than a million chimps roamed the equatorial forest belt across Africa. Today, only 250,000 chimpanzees remain. Many inhabit isolated patches of forest, spread throughout 21 countries. . "Today, there is no equatorial forest belt," she said. "Chimp habitat is dwindling all the time." See Chimps, page 3 Work-a^thon raises money, volunteer hours Front/Fiyan Hawkes Juniors Livia Lam and Jana Finkbonner weed the YWCA front yard for the first work-a-thon, which took place last Saturday. By Brian Kingsberry The Western Front Fifty-three volunteers took time Saturday to lend a helping hand by gathering pledges and working for a homeless work-a-thon sponsored by the Center for Social Change. The work-a-thon volunteers gathered hourly pledges from family and friends raising more than $1,200 while working with programs for the hungry and the homeless. Volunteers met at the YWCA and were sent out to one of eight job sites. Job sites included the Agape House, the Lighthouse Mission, Lincoln Square, Old Town Christian Ministries Thrift Store, the Opportunity Council, the Trinity House, We Care and the YWCA. "Finding time in your4ives to volunteer like this really helps boost a community's morale," said Center for Social Change Co-founder Sandy Schmeil. Work ranged from planting community gardens and digging ditches- to refurbishing low-income housing units and painting local shelters. "Volunteering like this is something each of us can do that really helps the community," said Co-founder Heather Foster. "Helping someone other than yourself just gives you an overwhelming rush," Foster said. Two-thirds of the $1,200 will be donated to start a community family resource center that will be located in the Levins Building. The Center plans to sponsor a barter board for people to exchange goods and services. The Center will also have a fast on May 15 to help raise awareness to the problems of hunger and homelessness. For more information on the Center and its upcoming events contact either Schmeil at 715- 3361 or Foster at 738-7828.
