HHHH Telephone pole' holds her own in the middle /5 WESTERN FRONT TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 1985 WESTERN WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY, BELLINGHAM, WA VOL. 77, NO. 12 Western senior duo takes 2nd in debate By J. Thomas Bauer A Western debate duo took second place last weekend at the William 0. Douglas Invitational Tournament, attended by 22 universities and colleges from six western states. The Western Senior pairings team.of Jeff Parcher and Jim Hanson took second in CEDA (Cross Examination Debate Association) debate, losing in the final round to a Pacific Lutheran University team. Debators in the tournament argued whether "the U.S. is justified in providing military support to non-democratic nations." Parcher and Hanson won the CEDA debate at the Western Speech tournament in Fresno, Calif., at the beginning of the month. PLU argued the affirmative in the final round of debate. They defended the resolution by stating Pakistan, a non-democratic nation, should be supported because the Soviet Union is a threat to Pakistan and thus a threat to the Indian Ocean and the Persian Gulf. • Western attacked the resolution by stating that support to Pakistan alientated India, thus increasing the chance of war between the two countries. They also stated that support would increase the "rich-poor gap" in Pakistan. Western lost the final round 2-1. They advanced to the final round by beating Lewis and Clark Col- • see DEBATE, p. 12 m^^w^MM^MSM "LAUR'JEGGL'E'i Toxic wells Whatcom County soil and water infested with detested pesticides By Elizabeth Parker In January, 1984, a powerful agricultural pesticide. Ethylene Dibromide (EDB), was found in drinking water in Skagit County. Soon after, it also was discovered that this powerful carcinogen (a cancer-causing agent) was present in drinking water in agricultural areas of Whatcom County. These findings prompted Huxley College to initiate the Toxic Substances Research Center to test the county's drinking water. "This is a critically important matter in terms of public health," Huxley Dean Richard Mayer said. "I'm concerned about what people are drinking. I think of children, what is going into the milk, soup and water they drink." Mayer said the college hopes to start its research this summer. Mayer said that the early tests that were done on. farm wells in Whatcom County showed EDB at 100 times the acceptable level set by the Environmental Protection Agency. "But no one really knows what an acceptable level is," Mayer said. EDB is particularly dangerous because it moves through the soil, where it is used to kill nematodes (a small worm-like pest that damages potatoes and other crops that are harvested for their roots), and into the drinking water. Mayer said EDB is used widely in Whatcom County. "EDB behaves a lot like DDT (another powerful pesticide that is a carcinogen) in that it has a long half-life," he said. Half-life is the amount of time it takes for a substance to break down halfway to a harmless form. Mayer said EDBan'd DDT each have a half-life of about 20 years. So it takes 20 years to break down half of the chemical that is in the environment, he said. "In a sense, these chemicals can stay around for hundreds of years in trace amounts and they may be harmful until they are fully broken down," he said. The research center will work closely with the Whatcom County Department of Health, the state Department of Social and Health Services, the soil Conservation Service, and the Whatcom Chamber of Commerce and Industry, he said. "It's just a matter of time until we find chemicals that will only kill the pests and that will be harmless to the rest of the environment," Mayer said. "It's an important goal, but we're not there yet." most vi»cl i l l lti ! !i»!m s By Ann Evans ;;.;:ra pe| occur teq^i^&^S^M^M 0~;Page;^^ BpuhiicjSaf^ ^T^arn:^ : ;; Count^aRapeg^eJi •japWg^unre^ :VCl''Onty-';tm^ .re por ted;:Hb5;a ^ •heara^ourit;":;:;;S-\^ PAM ESTES IHayMp^ |^itK|thel;as sa^tg^^tl^^^ujii-^^ fE|ie£said^ ^^(^^0i$r^^i$at:^drr0,aT qiind•' ttft£;; >: ^ n p t & ! ^ f&n£|vbme^^ llfAt^ ;iicj.y:pc^^ ; ;re|ort^t||a;f c^eis^^t^it^ik /'aslaulti^Ip^^ •Mopi:;0' ^s§®i|knfeai^fmfet"Hpd;^pf 6pera iipni ^tes-saidi^ft^v.; ^ • T H e ^ • hyrnpusi yet the jepprt>rnay give policeisbm? useful-inform iriV prevehiirig; future";;rapes; In orderto ^^rp^ebute^Hp^yef/'a report musjbe filed iJnesSviyigtiiiij^^-:^ | | r ^ i | s ^ g | ^ i | | p | I ^ | ^ ^ ^ @ ^ | f ^ ^ ^ i M I | | ^ i ^ | | | n ^ | | ^ v ^ | | ! ^ ^ i l l r l ^ i i i i i ^ ^ a l ^ i l ^ i i ^ ^ ^^ ;f||At^^ HptferitpvH iitim-and'e^ f££i|p!rjrc^ i also; available L A a a ^ p ^ ^ i ^ y i ^ : Jtimsrtp":!^ iciPrlfo^ :^: ;>A:;tliree^^ ; being;; bffered invpiying: basic i n f o r ^ assaultv;; the psychpipgy and strategies of prevention ; a n^ •:p1fiy$icai:.'self-deferis^ ThecbstisSIO per perspn.
