CCHrQult or callto corarnitment? Why are YOU at Western? A Front special report on the modern student /8-9 Pfueller runs record-setting debut race / i i TUESDAY, MARCH 12, 1985 WESTERN WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY, BELLINGHAM, WA VOL. 77, NO. 16 Approved Western gets a WashPIRG . By Cheri Hoover Following a lengthy discussion, Western's Board of Trustees Thursday authorized the formation of a chapter of WashPIRG at Western by next fall. In doing so, the board also OK'd a controversial $2 refundable fee that will be tacked onto tuition fees at registration. DANNY KADDEN A "negative check-off" system will be used to gather funds for Western's WashPIRG chapter. That involves paying the fees at the time of registration. If students decide they don't want to pay the fee to support WashPIRG, however, a refund will be provided within two or three weeks after registration. Board member Irwin LeCocq said the $2 fee should be clearly identified as refundable and not mandatory for enrollment. Another board member, Craig Cole, dissented from the board's' decision calling the negative check-off method of gathering fees a"back door approach." "I've always supported PIRGs, but I think everyone should be straight with the students. I think it's a back door way of getting money." he said. Cole suggested a positive checkoff system, as currently is being used by the Washington Student Lobby. With positive check-off, a student makes a choice at the time of registration if they wish to pay the extra $1. WashPIRG representative Danny Kadden said WashPIRG wouldn't survive with positive check-off because not enough funds would be raised. "We've looked into that (positive check-off). We've found it to be unworkable at Western," Kadden said. Trustee Martha Choe said she felt comfortable with the proposal and the negative check-off system. "I would like to see it (WashPIRG) try it. I would also like to see it scrutinized, but to let it stand or fall on its own merits." Kadden told the board that if at . any time a majority of the students at Western were not supporting the chapter and were requesting a refund of their $2 fee, the chapter would close automatically. At last month's meeting, the board delayed action on the establishment of a WashPIRG chapter at Western because LeCocq and Cole were absent. WashPI RG is a student-run and funded organization set up to work oh consumer and environmental issues. The fees are used for research and publishing costs. . and a divestiture proposal By Cheri Hoover Western's Board of Trustees Thursday unanimously adopted a slightly amended policy that forbids the investment of university funds in banks lending money to South Africa. Yvonne Ward, member of the Anti-Apartheid Action Coalition and Associated Students Secretary Treasurer, presented a written rationale to board members in February outlining reasons for divestiture. . Since then, Ward has worked with Don Sturgill, controller, and Don Cole, vice president of business and financial affairs, to clarify the proposal, which prohibits university investments in banks that have "direct involvement" with the Republic of South Africa. The amended proposal redefines "direct involvement" to include "making loans or grants to a government, its agents or agencies or business enterprises of a nation which violates human rights." A yearly review of university investments will be conducted, rather than quarterly reviews, as was suggested in the original proposal. But if a bank holding Western funds suddenly sent money to South Africa, this issue would be discussed at the earliest board meeting. Ward said only Rainier Bank, Trustees Gordon Sandison, (left) Craig Cole and Irwin LeCocq discuss a divestiture proposal at Thursday's board meeting. Peoples Bank, First Interstate Bank, Seafirst and the Bank of California are large enough to lend money to South Africa's government, and therefore would be the only banks affected by the divestment policy. Currently, of the five banks mentioned, only Seafirst recently adopted a policy against lending to the South African government. None of the five banks currently has funds invested in South Africa. At last month's board meeting, the trustees expressed concern about not getting the most finan-cial gains possible from investments. But Ward said so few banks are affected that the money easily can be made up elsewhere. "Studies have shown that divestment doesn't negatively affect interest income for institutions," Ward said. Ward said adoption of the proposal is a positive step toward bringing attention to the South African issue and making an impact on South. African human rights violations. "It's real inspiring to see that the trustees are sensitive to social issues and student concerns," Ward said. Supporters of the divestiture plan based their proposal on a measure passed by The Evergreen State College on Jan. 9. Elliott honored as top store manager By Don Yates Bookstore manager George Elliott has been picked as one of the nation's outstanding college store managers by the National Association of College Stores. Elliott said he was chosen because of the bookstore's consistent sales improvement and his involvement in industry activities. Approximately 2,600 college stores are in the association and five managers were chosen for the award, Elliott said. "I was shocked when I found out," he said. "It's the highlight of my career." Elliott praised his staff for their performance. "Any manager has to have the staffing to allow him to do the things he has to do. They deserve the award as much as I do," he said. Elliott has been in the bookstore business for 17 years, beginning as Western's assistant manager in 1968 and becoming general manager in 1971. GEORGE ELLIOTT "The operation was basically bankrupt when 1 took over. There were no discounts and we were, in fact, adding to the cost of the merchandise," he commented.
