Western Front VOL.68 NO.33 FRIDAY, MARCH 5,1976 Stereo stolen, recovered A stereo system valued at $130 was stolen from a Ridgeway Kappa room at about 2:30 a.m. Friday and a suspect was apprehended by campus security soon afterwards. According to R.G. Peterson, director of Safety and Security, the suspect apparently entered the dormitory through an unlocked side entrance and found the victim's door unlocked. Two Kappa residents saw the suspect leaving the room and reported the incident to campus security. The stereo was recovered. , The suspect was transferred to the Whatcom County jail. Skagit nuclear plant foes claim land fault nearby by DICK MILNE Hearings were reopened last week on Puget Sound Power and Light's proposed Skagit nuclear plant, following testimony by University of Washington geologist Eric Cheney that a major fault lies within nine miles of the site. Roger Polzin, executive secretary of the state Thermal Power Plant Site Evaluation Council (TPPSEC), said in an interview Wednesday that the hearings were reopened to permit new evidence on both sides of the controversy. Polzin said new evidence to be submitted will include information on the geology and seismology of the area, Skagit River flooding, project ownership and the effect of project delays on the "need for power." "Unless there's going to be a need for the electricity, there's no need for the plant," Polzin said. TPPSEC is a panel composed of the heads of 13 state agencies, whose authority extends over the proposed site only, and not the future operation of the plant, Polzin said. Ultimately, TPPSEC will make a recommendation to the governor. Also studying the proposal is the U.S. Geological Survey and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), which has authority over site selection and operation of the plant. NRC project manager Irving Peltier said the Geological Survey is studying the proposed site and will compile its findings in May, when federal hearings on the project resume. . The proposed site is Bacus^Hill, five miles northeast of Sedro Woolley near Lyman. Terry Galbreath of Puget Power's Nuclear Information Center in Sedro Woolley said Monday that the site chosen from 117 potential sites. Acording to Puget Power's plans, the plant would contain two 1,288,000 kilowatt nuclear generating units, each with a cooling tower 520 feet high. Owners of the plant would be Puget Power, NUCLEAR REACTION — This mockup of Paget Power's proposed generation plant is one attempt to cool public concern about the Bacus Hill reactor. Pacific Power and Light, Washington Water Power and, until recently, the Washington Public Power Supply System (WPPSS). WPPSS dropped out, however, and was replaced by Portland General Electric. The battle over the Skagit Valley site has raged since Puget Power first proposed the idea in 1973. Initially turned down in their request for a rezone by the county planning commission in June of that year, Puget Power resubmitted its arguments and won. Since then, opposition to the $1.7 billion project has come primarily from Skagitonians Concerned About Nuclear Power (SCANP), an organization of Skagit County residents. Reopening of the hearings has permitted new opposition to enter the case. Canadian groups including the Society for Pollution and Environmental Control (SPEC), .the Greenpeace Founds tion and the British Columbia Audubon Society Continued on page 10. Pro/ecf PerFECT under very intensive scrutiny byANNLEGRY The community didn't pay much attention to Project perFECT when it was running smoothly, but now after several incidents, everyone is watching, according to Mark Lehmann, facilities supervisor. Project PerFECT, also known as Bellingham. Training Release, is designed to ease prisoners back into society before they are paroled. Eight people are now living in Highland Hall and attending classes while serving the remainder of their sentences. One of them, Frank Prill, has been named as a suspect in a Feb. 22 tavern shooting. Prill, 35, has been charged with second-degree assault and with being a felon in possession of a deadly weapon, according to the Whatcom County Prosecutors's office. Prill failed to return to the project's headquarters and is thought to be in Portland. "I hope people realize Frank Prill was just one person," Lehmann said. "I think we have an excellent program. It was an unfortunate incident, but it doesn't destroy the viability of our program.". Lehmann said people on campus and in the community are looking back in retrospect and recalling other incidents. Selective Service crew reduced because of Ford's budget by TERRY McGUffiE Washington's Selective Service System (SSS) is becoming more select. The once thriving employer of hundreds has been reduced to a skeleton crew of six, and by next year will consist of one person — a non-paid State Director. Western's SSS Advisor went out of business three years ago. "And that's the way it is," according to SSS State Director Dick Marquardt in a letter sent last month to the remaining employees. Marquardt explained the Ford Administration's proposed budget of $6.8 million would not allow the Selective Service "to continue in existence as we know it today." He said there will be only a hundred employees nationwide, with San Francisco as the nearest Regional Service Center for the West Coast. "I went out of business in the spring of '73, when the draft ended," recalled Western's last Selective Service Advisor Larry Nelson, in a telephone interview this week. Nelson is manager of Student Programs at Ft. Steilacoom Community College, Tacoma. "Things were going pretty slow by then," he said of his eight months as advisor. "The lottery numbers weren't going as high. Most of the problems were over procedural rights. They (students) wanted to know how to buy time and avoid the draft." Nelson, a 1972 Western graduate, said the advisor's job was part of his graduate internship. "As an undergraduate, I had been in the same boat," he said of avoiding the draft. "But for many of the students who came to see me, it was too late to do anything. All I could do was be sympathetic." According to an Oct. 10, 1972 Front story announcing his new job, Nelson suggested "It would be wise for draft-age students to consider alternatives . . . such as reserves, enlistment or Canada . . ." President Ford ended draft registration last April. "I'm happy to see the end of i t . . .for the time being," Nelson said this week. Western has a Selective Service Information number listed in the current campus directory, but according to Roena Wendover, secretary for the Associated Dean of Students, "we haven't had a call in months." "If one of our people was drinking or smoking dope at a campus party," he said, "no one advised them, no one cared and no one remembered until the latest incident." Lehmann said the facility had an open house four months ago, but only state officials came. No one from the Sheriffs office, the police department or the community came, he said. Lehmann is currently meeting with representatives of the Sheriffs office, the Bellingham Police Department and campus security. "They want to control the residents better, but they don't know exactly what they want those controls to be," he said. The state, which finances the program, is satisfied with current controls, he said. They are as tight or tighter than those at the 94 similar programs in the state. Controls include bed checks, breathalizer tests and strict time regulations. Lehmann said law enforcement officials have been fairly understanding. Their and the project's main concern is community safety. Lehmann said the program has been successful to a large degree in minimizing risks. The meetings are focusing on the problems of sponsorship and building security. A sponsor is someone in the community who has temporary custody of a resident. The sponsorship program was named as the biggest fault in the Prill incident. A resident is not allowed to leave a sponsor at any time, which Prill did, Lehmann said. The biggest problem was the sponsor did not call the project when Prill failed to return on time, he said. "What we need to do now is to get closer to the sponsors so we can use them as a monitoring device," he said. Residents live on the lower floor of Highland Hall where security is almost impossible. Lahmann said he hopes the project will move someday to a better facility off campus. In addition to security problems, the program has met resistance from some Highland Hall residents who withdrew their support from the program after the latest incident. The program has voluntarily called a moratorium on screening appliants until the problems have been ironed out. The program began in March 1975. Residents attend classes at Western, Whatcom Community College and Bellingham Vocational Technical Institute. A continuing therapy program is at the heart of the project. Residents are re-conditioned to function in society by ridding themselves of negative ideas acquired in prison. "With Frank Prill, we didn't succeed. You take risks." But Lehmann added, if it could be done all over, the project probably would again take Frank Prill.
