Western Front VOL. 71, NO. 59 WESTERN WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY FRIDAY, OCTOBER 5, 1979 Saulisbury claims discrimination by GREGG OLSEN Western student Darrell L. Saulisbury and Judith M. Toth were arrested on investigation of promoting prostitution charges on Sept. 27. Saulisbury, 21, and Toth, 23, were charged last week after two Bellingham girls claimed they had been threatened when they refused to solicit for Toth and Saulisbury. The girls were 16 and 17 years old, police said. Saulisbury denied the charges and professed his innocence in an interview with the~Front Tuesday. One of the reasons he said he was held on a $5,000 bond was because he is black. "Any time a black man is charged with making money off of white girls they're going to nail him," Saulisbury said. Saulisbury was originally held on a $3,000 bond, which was raised to $5,000 when one of the girls was threatened Sept. 27. Sgt. Gary Scott of the Bellingham Police Dept. denied any racial discrimination. He said bail was raised because "one of the girls was threatened with bodily harm." Although Saulisbury was in jail at the time the threats were made, his bail was increased "due to the nature of the threats," Scott said. Saulisbury posted bond Sunday. Toth has been released on personal recognizance. Whatcom County Prosecutor Dave McEachran said Toth was released because "she had ties in the community that Saulisbury did not have." McEachran said Toth and Saulisbury face a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison Instructor alters permit A Western faculty member had a parking permit revoked and lost parking privileges for one year after altering a permit, Lt. Dave Doughty, Safety and Security, said. The original permit was purchased for lot 26P next to Fairhaven and cost $12. The permit was altered for lot 16G next to Arntzen Hall. Space in that lot sells for $54. The faculty member's name was not released because no arrest was made. "We have caught students before trying to alter their permits, but this is the first time a faculty member has been caught," Doughty said. and a $10;000 fine if convicted of the first degree charges. Saulisbury said all the case boils down to is his and Toth's word against the two juveniles. "Who do you think this narrow-minded community is going to believe? A black man or the two white girls?" Saulisbury said. Saulisbury said the affidavit for probable cause is " i n a c c u r a t e . " Saulisbury claims one of the girls is 19 years old, not 17. He refused to note any of the other discrepancies, but said there were "many." Sgt. Scott said the affidavit is correct. Scott would not comment on the alleged false identification Toth supplied the girls. He refused to affirm or deny that any prostitution occurred in the Birnam Wood apartment rented by Saulisbury. "We have no proof or evidence either way," he said. Saulisbury said he would agree to a polygraph test in order to prove his innocence. "I'd be willing, but it isn't admissible in court. Don't you think it will help me?" he said. Saulisbury said he feels he has no choice but to drop out of Western at this time. "Maybe I'll go to the U of W (Univ. of Washington). Do you think I could walk around this campus?" he said. At a hearing before Judge Byron Swedberg Tuesday. Saulisbury's attorney, Jerome Doherty, requested and received a postponement for the jury trial originally scheduled for Oct. 8. Toth had not yet secured counsel. Trial date was tentatively set between Dec. 26-Jan. 2. An omnibus hearing has been scheduled for Oct. 25 in Superior Court. Inside Friday Workers talk softly about unsafe cargo Many people in the transportation and civil service industry today are responding to public outcry concerning transportation of hazardous cargo. In the railroad industry, those who are authorized to speak for their companies can give only vague information regarding specific emergency procedures. The others who have facts and figures and those who work around the cargo cannot officially speak to the public. One Burlington Northern employee put it this way: "If my supervisor saw my name, he would frown." Today's Front looks at hazardous material transportation on page 3. The sources who gave their names are quoted. The others are workmen and clerks who deal directly with certain aspects of the industry. Their credentials are explained, but many fear reprisals of some sort if their names were used, so many remain anonymous.
