Western prof finds stress by the mouthful /4 Goodbye, John: Little man ends big hoop career /H Volunteers provide fun and friendship /9 FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 1985 WESTERN WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY, BELLINGHAM, WA VOL. 77, NO. 11 No Hope Light, dims on tuition freeze By Bob Bolerjack Thoroughly Good GRANT BOETTCHER More than 1,300 fans rocked to George Thorogood and the Destroyers Monday night in Carver gym. See page 13. ' Only four weeks into the state Legislature's 1985 regular session, two of student lobbyists' favorite lawmakers have gauged their colleagues'sentiment toward a freeze in state college and university tuition. Their conclusion: Hope for a freeze has melted away. And in a further setback to the Washington Student Lobby's legislative agenda, these two student allies say they can find little support for any increase in student financial aid. "The thought around here is that it appears to be dead," Rep. Pat McMullen said of the freeze proposal he is co-sponsoring. "But what's important is to keep fighting and to make the point—to keep tuition low." McMullen, whose district includes Western, and Rep. Ken Jacobsen (D-North Seattle), said students should continue to press the point that higher education is becoming less affordable for many. Beyond that, they could offer little encouragement to students frustrated by the rising cost of education. The Council for Postsecondary Education recommended last year that state tui-tidriandTees be increased byabout 20'percent during the next biennium. McMullen said current state revenue forecasts leave no room, in the eyes of most lawmakers, to help state college and university students. State-mandated programs, such as kindergarten through twelfth-grade education and various social programs, are'* taking precedence over high education, he said. Student leaders received similarly gloomy news earlier this month from Gov. Booth. Gardner. Jacobsen, prime sponsor of the House version of the tuition freeze bill, which would cost the state about $45 million in revenue, agreed that the state's "grim revenue picture" makes passage of the measure unlikely. He said requests for increases in financial aid also stand little chance of passage. And like McMullen, Jacobsen urged students to "keep the pressure on." He suggested students should write legislators, des- STUDENT LOBBY cribing any hardships they might face because of the rising cost of higher education. Letter-writing campaigns, however, do little to pacify student leaders like Majken Ryherd, Western Associated Students president. "ItVfrustrating when air you hear during the election campaign is that (a tuition freeze) will be a priority, and then when (legislators) start getting pressure from all sides, they say it can't pass," Ryherd said. "We're trying to be realistic. We see that state revenue is limited. But it seems like higher education and students always have to balance the budget. We think it's time they got something." Ryherd said the WSL's main goal still is to reduce the "need gap," or the difference between the amount of financial aid dollars students qualify for and the amount available. The WSL estimates the current "need gap" to be about $150 million. Healthful hints found at the fair By Vaughn Cocke The scene was remininscent of a carnival midway: Curious people wandered around while a symphony of voices solicited them. "Would you like your blood pressure taken?" "Can we test your hearing?" "Check your eyesight?" The Student Health Services-sponsored volunteer health fair made its quarterly appearance on Feb. 13 and 14 in the Viking Union Lounge. Many campus and community groups were represented, including Planned Parenthood of Whatcom County, the Washington State Dairy Council and Western Washington Speech and Hearing Clinic. ANN EVANS Students at the Health Fair find out if their respiratory systems work. One of the more inventive displays belonged to the Drug Information Center. In addition to the usual brochures outlining the danger of drug use and abuse, the booth featured a game called "downer roulette," in which contestants could spin the wheel five times and accumulate points. The more-dangerous drugs had the highest point values, so the object was to get a low score and avoid being classified as comatose or dead. The stand also had a collection of liquor bottles with labels that looked, but didn't read, like the originals. "Brain-Damage Wine," "Ulcers 69" and "Cirrhosis Blended Scotch Whiskey" were some of the "products" on display. Kristin Hawes, an intern at the drug center, said she was asked a variety of questions, from the effects of alcohol and cocaine to the origin of the liquor bottles. She said she thought the health fair was a good idea-because it made the drug center—usually located on the second floor of the Viking Union—more visible. "Being up here gives us more exposure," she said.

Schmitz said he could not comment on any of his findings because his report must go through offices in Seattle and Olympia for review. The review process may take one or two months, depending on the flow of other incoming audit reports, Schmitz said. This is a busy time for/the auditor's office, with the University of Washington and other schools now being audited, he said. The audit began about two weeks ago at the request of Jeff Doyle, Associated Students vice president for external affairs. Doyle said then that the AS requested the audit to emphasize student's rights to information about the spending of Service and Activities fees, which are deducted from tuition payments. Doyle said he had trouble obtaining budgets from Athletic Director Boyde Long. Doyle said he sought that information as part of research for a legislative bill to reform the S & A fee structure at state universities. IHIHiiilHiKl "I show the movie for revenge.
