"I think we're talking about a joke that's being passed off as a referendum." WashPIRG members decided earlier this week to sponsor a referendum in last-minute efforts to salvage the group's fee-collecting contract for spring quarter. The contract recently was suspended after the group failed to meet minimum contribution requirements fall and winter quarter. WashPIRG members asked Western's Board of Trustees last Thursday to kill the minimum contribution clause so the group could collect donations from spring registration. Trustees tabled the proposal until next month, snuffing the group's fee-collection chances.

WashPIRG members hope a successful referendum will persuade university administrators to reinstate their fee-collecting contract. A successful referendum for the group would be attracting greater than 50 percent support among students who vote. At Wednesday's AS Board meeting, local WashPIRG chair Erin Hughes said she hopes about 1,000 students will vote, a figure she considers acceptable. No figure for how many students voted Wednesday was available. About 8,300 students attend Western. "You say you're giving the students a choice as to whether to support WashPIRG or not,"said AS Director of Communications Paul Clark. "I've got a statement to make. Two students said they were hustled to the voting booth, I mean hustled in the worst sense of the word. That really sparked a question in me if the board could support something like that." Group members claim the "overnight" referendum is justified because their contract with Western indicates such an election is required when the agreement is suspended. But Western's Assistant Attorney General Wendy Bohlke said Wednesday she believes such .a referendum probably should follow established AS election guidelines. According to AS by-laws, special elections like WashPIRG's require 14 days prior notice. WashPIRG offered none. WashPIRG's Wednesday and Thursday referendum was, however, publicized with flyers posted on those days containing AS Vice President for External A Hairs DeAnn Pullar's picture and a statement of her support lor the group.

Aside from the first case, diagnosed earlier this month,, no other "hard" measles cases have been confirmed here. Director of Student Health Services Jennifer Roy said. Two possible cases, however, were sent to the Public Health Office Tuesday. Hard measles killed three Illinois college students in 1983 and hospitalized 13 others last year in Boston, state health officials said. Hard measles primarily attacks college age students, Roy said, because most young adults were too young when they were vaccinated for the serum to work. Roy said Health Services will not be sponsoring a Health Fair this quarter because the staff is needed to care for the large amount of ill students. Officials expect about 100 more students to request vaccinations in the near future. Western's health office ran out of the measles vaccine Wednesday, but had a supply delivered later the same day, Roy said. "Getting the serum hasn't been difficult," she said, "but it may become more difficult." Hard measles is an airborn disease, she said, and people can get the germs by walking into a room 30 minutes after someone with the virus has left. A person with hard measles can carry and spread the disease for up to four days before exhibiting the rash symptoms familiar to the strain. Hard measles should not be confused with the less severe German measles. Roy said. . Roy said the Health Services office makes a "clinical judgment" regarding a possible measles victim, then refers the person to the Public Health Office. Persons with suspected cases of hard measles usually have a rash that starts on their face and a fever of more than 99 degrees Fahrenheit. Roy would not release any information about the Western student diagnosed with the strain. The treatment for measles is to get bed rest for about a week, Roy said. Conditions connected with measles include cough, corza (cold symptons), conjunctivitis (may make eyes more sensitive to light), fever and a rash that usually starts on the face. Not many folks know the Alpha-Beta Cube, nextto Wilson Library, has crawling room inside.
