'Luieif erK:-; powerless to help • La^t LxS\/e' Writer attracted by Fairhaven's atmosphere /6 Terrific Tims trip Falcons in 101-84 shootout /5 TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 12, 1985 WESTERN WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY, BELLINGHAM, WA VOL. 77, NO. 9 Put Penthouse back, committee says By Ron Judd Calling the suspension of the sale of Penthouse magazine a "dangerous precedent," the Associated Students' Bookstore Subcommittee Monday recommended that the controversial magazine be placed back on bookstore shelves. The AS Board temporarily suspended the sale of the magazine Nov. 14, after two students complained about the December issue of Penthouse, which showed nude women bound to trees. A statement released by the subcommittee said committee members recognized that "pornographic materials promote damaging images of mankind," but felt the AS Board and the university should work to educate the campus community of the negative impact of pornography rather than remove it from the public eye. Committee member Dana Grant, AS director of communications, said the committee decided students should be allowed to make their own choices as to the types of materials they wished to view. Committee members agreed the material presented in Penthouse was damaging, but decided forums, public discussions, seminars, and the use of expert testimony on the matter was preferable to magazine removal. "Censorship of any sort should not be allowed in a democratic society," the statement reads. ". . . If the AS Board decides that one type of publication is negative for consumption, what will prevent the board from making the same ruling on another? ". . . According to the judicial system, if a publication has any redeeming artistic value, no matter how limited, the material should not be banned." The committee recommended, however, that if the magazine is put back in the bookstore, a sign should be placed above the magazine rack indicating the types of magazines available and the philosophy behind their sales. The committee suggested the sign should read: "Some of the materials below may be offensive. Yet, it would seem that in an institution of higher learning, people should have the opportunity to review all ideas and attitudes present in our society so that we might better understand who we are as a people . . ." The committee suggested that • see PENTHOUSE, p. 4 Trustees react favorably to divestiture plan By Cheri Hoover A resolution to stop the investment of Western funds in banks that lend money to South Africa, may be adopted by the Board of . Trustees at their next meeting March 7. Yvonne Ward, member of the Anti-Apartheid Action Coalition and Associated Students Secretary-Treasurer, presented a written rationale to board members outlining reasons for divestment Thursday. In the rationale, she said that •^hfb'Ugh^he^nveSl'm^in't-of-pubHc" funds, we support the South Africa government and its policy of apartheid." The divestment program she wants the board to adopt is similar to one approved Jan. 9 at The Evergreen State College. If the proposal is adopted, Western's vice president for business and financial affairs, in consultation with the affirmative action officer, would conduct a quarterly review of university investments. That information would be passed on to thetrustees.who then could move to divest the funds involved. Trustees give informal nod to Health Service Fee increase — p. 3.

I think the attitude of Ross was encouraging. It's kind of hard for people to support apartheid. And by not supporting the resolution, it would appear that you would be doing that," Ward said. Ross said he thinks the board is in favor of divestiture but they want to be clear of their legal responsibility. He said the board wouldn't want to be responsible for not getting the most financial gain possible from investment.

By Brian Malvey When the sun sets on the Council for Postsecondary Education June 30, most agree it probably will set for good. But it is not certain what higher education agency will emerge from the legislative shadows to replace it. In accordance with the OLYMPIA REVIEW Washington Sunset Act, the CPE is subject to review, termination and possible extention. And although extension is possible, it is not probable the CPE will survive, at least in its present form. The Legislative Budget Committee, which conducted the CPE's sunset audit, concluded the CPE just doesn't have the authority to follow through on matters such as territorial disputes between competing universities. The committee recommended the agency be replaced or changed. Now a flurry of governance bills, seeking to fill the vacuum the CPE's departure would create, is sweeping through Olympia. • House Bill 171, proposing a Board of Regents for the regional universities and The Evergreen State College. • House Bill 218, proposing a Higher Education Coordinating Commission. • House Bill 259, proposing a Higher Education Board of Regents. • House Bill 579, Higher Education System. • House Bill 1354, proposing a Higher Education State Board. • House Bill 3376, proposing .a Higher Education Coordinating Commission. • Other governance bills filed but not yet available.
