Trustees approve skateboard ban
By ANDREA LIGHTBURNE
staff reporter
It's official: Skateboarders no longer
can ride at Western.
The Board of Trustees approved a
policy Friday afternoon permanently
restricting the use of skateboards on
campus. The regulation, part of the Washington
Administrative Code, will be enforced
by campuspolice.
Non-student skateboarders refusing to
comply with the regulations will be asked to
leave campus. A person refusing to leave
will be cited for trespassing.
If the skateboarder is a student, the stu-dent
will be asked to remove the
skateboard from campus.
Students refusing to comply will be
referred to Western's Disicplinary Action
Board, comprised of students and faculty.
A hearing will be arranged and a penalty
levied. This procedure is in compliance
w i t h t h e S t u d e n t s ' R i g h t s and
Responsibilities Code.
Repeat offenses can lead to expulsion
from the university.
The regulation was prompted by an
emergency policy the board implemented
this summer after a dislodged brick near
Wilson Library caused an administrator to
stumble.
"We believe a total ban on skateboards
is rash and reactionary," AS President Dan
Wood said at the trustees' meeting. "(The
decision is) tied to an event that cannot be
directly linked to skateboarding," he said.
The trustees found the restriction
necessary for the preservation of public
health and safety. The regulation also
would reduce damage to bricks, benches
and stairs.
Associate Vice President for Personnel
Mary Robinson, who stubbed her toe, said
she doesn't know what caused the brick to
be dislodged and doesn't blame skateboarders
for the accident.
The emergency policy was in effect for
90 days. The campus attorney's general office
had a public hearing Sept. 29 to collect
opinions before Friday's trustees meeting.
"I felt that a compromise could have
been reached," Wood said. He asked the
board to penalize only skateboarders causing
damage or creating a hazard.

Officials oppose
HEC Board plan
By FRANCINE OTT
staff reporter
Western officials are worried the Higher Education
Coordinating Board's master plan could make
Western a second-rate university.
"I think the HEC Board's plan is a lousy idea,"
Ruth Weiner of Huxley College said.
The HEC Board is working to prepare a comprehensive
plan for Gov. Booth Gardner and the legislature
by Dec. 1.
If the plan is accepted, Washington's higher education
system could be structured into three tiers, impose
tougher admission standards and receive a new
funding process.
The HEC Board is a nine-member board charged
with the preparation of a master plan for the state
universities and community colleges. The board
members are citizens appointed by Gov. Gardner.
Western student leaders and administrators are
opposed to parts of the draft plan.
"They're messing around with the academic integrity
of the universities," AS President Dan Wood
said.
Wood also said the plan doesn't acknowledge
that Washington's system provides quality education.
"The report paints a picture that's worse than our
existing system," Wood said.
James Waldo, chairman of Western's Board of
Trustees, said the plan might cause more problems.
"Whatever you do, don't create new problems for
our university," Waldo told the HEC Board at a
hearing in September.
At the hearing Waldo said Western could become
a branch campus of the University of Washington.
During the Friday Board of Trustees meeting,
Waldo said he was addressing what the long-term
consequences of a University of Washington branch
campus in Puget Sound might mean for Western.
"I have no desire to see Western become a
branch campus of UW. We think the HEC Board
should look at all the possibilities," Waldo explained.
The HEC Board's plan is designed to develop a
more efficient and cost-effective system for higher
education.
According to the board's plan, in 1985-86 Washington
ranked 46th out of 50 states on spending per
student for public higher education. The amount is
about $1,000 per student less than the national average.
The board's draft report states that it will "end
the downward trend of support for public higher education.
It is now time to increase that support."
Wood said a good thing about the plan is its attempt
to develop financial equity in the state system.
