The Western Front VOL. 78, NO. 11 WESTERN WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY, BELLINGHAM, WA FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1986 Semesters The faculty survey results: 'No way' By Craig Crandall staff reporter Academic planners have abandoned further consideration of switching Western to a semester system after a survey of Western faculty members revealed a majority of professors here are against it. Academic Coordinating Commission Chairman Tom Downing said the results of the survey, conducted by ACC members Alan Sleeman and Ruth Weiner, indicated 60 percent of the faculty members strongly opposed a switch to a semester system, or felt it was not worth the effort. Twenty percent of the faculty were in favor of a switch and 20 percent had not reported or were undecided. Downing said, "As far as we're concerned, it's dead." Discussion of moving to an "early" semester system began several weeks ago within the ACC. During one of the ACC's meetings, Vice President for Academic Affairs Paul Ford told ACC members the deans of Western's colleges supported the semester system. Washington State University currently is the only public university in the state on a semester calendar. Making a switch to the semester system is not in the foreseeable future for Western, Downing said. "You would be insane to do it against a strong faculty sentiment, because the majority of the faculty is opposed to it. We would have to force it down their throats," he said. Downing said he saw "no point in the ACC board continuing to discuss the issue. With sufficient numbers against the switch it is not worth our time to bring it up on the agenda again." Students were not involved in this survey because the faculty, being a smaller group, was easier to survey. It was seen as more practical to survey the faculty rather than more than 8,000 students. Downing said the poll "was a survey and not a vote. A mere questionnaire among students wasn't what we were looking for." New high-ed board visits the campus By Paul Swortz and Jackie Soler staff reporters The Higher Education Coordinating Board of Washington got a lesson in the workings of Western during its two-day meeting here Tuesday and Wednesday. Faculty members, administrators and students presented the board with highlights and history of programs at Western. Vice President of Academic Affairs Paul Ford said the board influences the types of programs offered and budget decisions at the state's community colleges and universities. Gov. Booth Gardner appointed the nine-member board to replace the disbanded Council on Postsecondary Education. The new board began its duties Jan. I and held its first meeting at The Evergreen State College. The board will familiarize itself with the state's four-year institutions by conducting its monthly meetings on each campus. "I thought the interaction (at Wednesday's meeting) was splendid," Ford said. "We got a, chance to know them, and they got the chance to know us better." Tuesday the board had its regular business meeting and, despite the snow, stayed for its Wednesday meeting with administrators, faculty and students. Board of Trustees member Craig Cole discussed Western's role in the local community. "Western is the centerpiece of Whatcom County's cultural and economic life," he said. Western establishes links with organizations and is one of the largest employers in the area. Because of its location, Cole said Western is "one of Washington's best kept secrets." University President G. Robert Ross referred to Western as a "magic campus." He told the board about Western's shift in focus from primar- • See HEC, p. 3 IIMCHOVANAK This satellite dish outside of Wilson Library is not part of the "Star Wars" defense system. The dish is being used to link Western with a computer technology conference in Chicago, 111. The teleconference continues until 2 p.m. today in Parks Hall 104 and the library presentation Posters urge guns for security By Tom Pearce staff reporter Western's Department of Public Safety has indicated it has no involvement with a recent flurry of anonymous flyers posted: around campus advocating the arming of university police officers here. "We know nothing about them," University Police Lt. Dave Doughty said Wednesday when asked about the flyers. "Our first encounter with them was when one of our troopers found one in the Ridgeway dining area." The flyers describe pistol-toting criminals either threatening or gunning down unarmed Western campus police officers. "The sound of a gunshot erupts from the Plaza Cashier. A campus police officer is on the scene. The gunman turns, laughs, then shoots Sergeant Jones . . . because Sergeant Jones was UNARMED." Another fictional incident: "As Sergeant Smith confronts the scene of the rape in progress, the rapist draws a handgun and threatens to shoot if (Smith) doesn't leave the area . . . because Smith is UNARMED." The final line of each eight-and- a-half-by-11-inch flyer says, "We must let the University Police protect us in all situations." Western and The Evergreen State College are the only institutions of the six state universities that do not allow campus police officers to carry firearms. Central Washington University, Eastern Washington University, Washington State University and the University of Washington police carry firearms, spokesmen from each school's security department said. When campus police officers were commissioned in late 1975, then-University President Paul Olscamp said the force would not carry guns as long as he was president. The question of arming the regular officers arose in April • See FLYERS, p. 3
