Western's Outdoor Program offers rec treks itimate music review P-7 Vol. 75, No. 25 Western Washington University, Bellingham, Wash. Tuesday, April 26,1983 Project UNCLE dies By CLAIRE SWEDBERG After a year of spotting neutrinos and six years of research, the Project UNCLE neutrino telescope in the basement of Old Edens Hall is being dismantled because of lack of funding. Peter Kotzer, head of the project, was receiving funds from a private grant from the Office of Naval Research until the end of winter quarter, when the grant was scheduled to run out. Construction-of the neutrino telescope began in 1977. The telescope has been picking up man-made neutrinos from the Fermi National Acceleration Laboratory near Chicago since 1982. The only other such telescope in the world is in the Soviet Union. Eventually these telescopes could lead to the use of neutrinos for communication across the world and in searching for deposits such as oil and natural gas. Kotzer has been invited to the International Cosmic Ray Conference in India, this summer to present his findings. Kotzer, who was unavailable for comment, now is in Washington, D.C. He will visit the Fermi Lab before returning to Bellingham, said physics department chairman Ajit Rupaal. In an interview with the Bellingham Herald published Thursday, Kotzer stated that he felt Sam Kelly had been against the project and had been Dr. Peter Kotzer . . . loses funding attempting to bring it to an end since he was appointed Faculty Research Dean. Kotzer said that be believed Kelly was trying to "sabotage" his efforts. Kelly said that this statement was false and that no sabotage was involved. He said that he was no more responsible for Kotzer's lack of funds than he was responsible for Western's losing football season. "He will probably go to the University ofWashington to continue his research now," Kelly said. He said he believed from the beginning the project was impractical at Western. "High-technology physics of this kind is not a basement operation. Our physics department is not equipped to support such a project," he said, adding he felt that Kotzer belongs at the University of Washington rather than "an abandoned building" at Western. He said "The question is Why didn't he go (to the UWI in the first place?'" Kotzer has not been employed at Western since he arrived here 10 years ago to replace a physics professor who was temporarily absent, said Executive Vice President James Talbot. "Since Kotzer was not being paid by the university the grant was his only income. We are just providing him with a home for his research. "Grants run out all the time. The only reason people are making such a fuss over this one is because Kotzer doesn't have any other money," he said. The equipment for the telescope, most of which is Soviet, will remain at Western. With the basement no longer in use, Old Edens Hall now will be closed off completely. Western has been paying for the heating and maintenance of the building during the Project UNCLE research, which was fairly costly because the building is so old, Kelly said. Twenty file for AS races, three running for President By LESLIE NICHOLS and DAVE WASSON At the close of the filing period last week, 20 students had submitted their names for entry into next week's Associated Students general elections. The three contenders for president are Dana Grant, Ty Hanson and David McFadden. Running against current AS Secretary/Treasurer Ron Bensley for the vice president for internal affairs spot is junior political science major Gary Garrett. Garrett said he thinks his five years' experience working in the administrative management field lends itself to the job, a position he said he would use to support the AS drive to get a polling place on campus. Garrett's other goals include continued support for the AS-sponsored Project Vote, designed to register students to vote, and the formation of a closer relationship between Washington Student Lobby officers and student members. Soren Ryherd and George Sidles compose the duo in pursuit of the vice president for academic affairs office. The two competitors for the vice president for external affairs job are Steven Dahl and Dan Pike. Kevin Lohman's opponent for vice president of activities is geography major Mark Marlow. Active in the Associated Students for two years, Marlow said if elected he would like to use his position to increase the number of student activities. He cited picnics and the revival of dances in Red Square as two examples. Formerly a candidate for the same position, Larry Rogers was disqualified by the AS Election Board because he is not a full-time, fee-paying student this quarter. The trio of candidates for s e c r e t a r y / t r e a s u r e r in elude Kevin Gomes, Steve Graham and Jon Sitkin. Gomes, a senior business education major, said acting in the secretary/treasurer cap; city would give him a chance to us.: skills he learned in his business classes, as well as fulfilling a major requirement that he have a year of office work before he can teach. A volunteer in the Office of Student Life, a former Inter-Hall Council representative and member of the Housing and Dining Committee, Gomes said he is willing to invest the time required of the position, which includes prioritizing the AS budget and deciding which clubs should receive the most funding. Running unopposed for the • See AS ELECTIONS/page 2 Bargaining bill is ready for signing By ELAYNE ANDERSON The state Senate and House agreed Friday on amendments' for a bill that would allow faculty: to decide if it wants collective bargaining. If Senate Bill 3042 j s approved by Gov. John Spellman, faculty will vote whether it wants to be represented by a union, after one-third of faculty sign a petition calling for the election. Next, faculty would vote on which union it wants to represent them. The bill was upheld last week while the Senate and House concurred on amendments added by the House. One amendment excludes medical and graduate students from collective bargaining. Another makes salary increases dependent on fur.di:.e njceived from the Legislature. The issue of strikes is obscured in the bill by the language chosen, said Milt Krieger, president of Western's local chapter of the American Federation of Teachers. As the bill now reads, strikes are neither authorized nor banned. Krieger called the possibility of faculty strikes "remote." Krieger said he is optimistic that Spellman will sign the bill. "I know he's been getting a lot of mail from both sides," Krieger said. Collective bargaining is a right others have had to exercise, Krieger said. "What's the sense in holding the faculty back." When asked if he thought Western's faculty would vote to be represented by a union, Krieger pointed out that more than half the faculty signed a petition sent to Olympia supporting the bill. "I hope not to be surprised," he said. Spellman has 20 days to make a decision on the bill. The KOMO-TV van visited Western Thursday. Students such as Cindy Boies had a chance to use some of the station's equipment. (See story page 2.) Reciprocity with B.C.. Idaho ok'd By PAT BULMER A bill calling on the Council for Post-Secondary Education to negotiate reciprocal tuition agreements with Idaho and British Columbia was approved Saturday by the state Senate. The House approved the bill April 16. The agreements will waive out-of- state tuition rates for Washington Students in Idaho and for Idaho and B.C. students in Washington. However, the bill's sponsor, state Senator H.A. "Barney" Goltz (D-Bellingham) said reciprocity won't take effect until September 1984. Goltz said the CPE will negotiate with Idaho and B.C. "just as soon as possible," but that the agreements will have to be approved by the Legislature next year. A House amendment to the bill terminates both agreements on June 30, 1987. The Idaho portion of the bill prohibits either state from losing more than $25,000 a year. Thus, if Washington finds it is paying • See RECIPROCITY/page 3
