THE WESTERN FRONT : "••,-. ::

issues discussed Tuesday during
the first forum about Get
Educated About Election *99,
sponsored by the Washington
Student Lobby, Associated
Students Productions Social
Issues and the A.S.

The forum in

Brenner, county
council and
health board
member, started
the forum with a
discussion about
Initiative 199.
1-199 will be presented to
the voters asking if infectious
waste shall be limited at commercial
treatment facilities to
0.3 percent of Whatcom
County's solid waste stream.
An initiative fact sheet stated
300 tons of infectious waste
from Canada and other areas
are accepted at local commercial
treatment facilities every

"Workers have gotten sick.
We don't have to be a dumping
ground," Brenner said about
the initiative's importance.
"Infectious waste can be
affordably and safely taken
care of in every community in
which it is produced," Brenner
said.
Brenner said facilities are
not located in affluent neigh-

Western students are invited to
join in the Carnegie Campus
Conversation, said Kris Bulcroft,
special assistant to the provost
for teaching and learning.
Carnegie Conversation is a
national project sponsored by the
Carnegie Foundation, which
focuses on the scholarship of
teaching.
Western is among the more
than 130 colleges and universe
ties nationwide taking part in the
conversation.
"It pleases me tremendously
that Western is willing to get
involved in the conversation,"
Bulcroft said.
..The conversation deals with
recognizing and rewarding excellent
teaching. The ultimate goal
of the program is to establish a
National Academy of select colleges
and universities that exemplify
the highest standards in
teaching and learning.
Western, along with the other
colleges and universities, has
already been recognized.
"It's like a reward for Western,"
Rafael Castaneda, vice president

Survey says Western students do drink lightly
Nick Haney/ The Western Front
Drinking excessively is what most Western students don't do.
By Millissa Macomber
THE WESTERN FRONT >
The ad has been printed in
the Western Front again and
again. According to the ad and
the survey it is based on, 84
percent of Western students
drink zero, one, two, three or
four drinks when they party.
Lifestyle Advisor and
Western student Camille Loyell
said she doubted the ad the
first time she saw it.
"You go into college thinking
everyone drinks," Lovell said.
"(The survey) is an eye-catcher."
The Lifestyle Advisor program
and the survey are funded
by a grant from the U.S.
Department of Education.
The survey is meant to
research and inform the
Western community about a
theory emphasizing social
norms related to alcohol
instead of perceived norms,
said Pat Fabiano, program
director of Prevention and
Wellness Services.
"There is a huge, invisible
majority that drink but drink
moderately," Fabiano said.
The idea behind the survey is
to make this majority visible in
a positive way, Fabiano said.
The survey is based on a
large, randomly selected portion
of Western students, said
Kris Rhoads, alcohol and drug
research and intervention specialist.
This group is then assumed
to represent the student body
as a whole.
-"Our results match other statistics
involving alcohol-related
problems and students,"
Rhoads said.
The statistics also match
those taken by four other universities
involved in similar

Students
retreat to
envision
future
138 Western students
camp Friday at Ethnic
Student Center; 9th
annual retreat
By Sarah Crowley
THE WESTERN FRONT
Envisioning the future is
what more than 100 Western
students will be doing this
weekend.
On Friday, 181 participants
will set off to attend the Ethnic
Student Center's ninth annual
retreat, "Envision, Identity,
Unity, Future" at Whidbey
Island's Camp Casey.
Theresa Castillo, event organizer
and participant, said the
main focus of the retreat is for
students to feel comfortable in
identifying themselves any
way they want.
The 138 Western students
attending will arrive at camp 5
p.m. Friday and leave 3:30
p.m.. Saturday, via carpool in
Associated Students vans.
Western students will not be
the only attendees; the list also
includes students from local
•community colleges.
Castillo said the main reason
people come to the retreat —
besides the peaceful surroundings
— is to enjoy themselves
and make new friends.
"I have practically made all
my friends there," she said.
Although Castillo said she'd
warn participants about one
thing — the piercing bullhorn
that awakens students at 6
a.m.
