The Western Front Western Washington University Volume 119 Issue 15 Bellingham, Washington Western ranks No. 1 for liquor law violations By Amber Blondin THE WESTERN FRONT The term "party school" is rarely associated with Western, though a recent report released by the U.S. Department of Education on university drinking, may change that. When compared to Washington's five other four-year public universities, Western had the most liquor law violations last year. Western reported 630 liquor law violations out of the total 1,642 reported on the six campuses. Last year Western's student population was 11,655 students. Bellingham Police Department Lt. Dae Jamison said he attributes the statistic to Western's strict tolerance policy on underage drinking. "I admire Western's administration and police department for being aggressive with writing citations," Jamison said. "It helps us out a lot when they are so conscientious." Dave Doughty, University Police assistant chief said most of the 630 liquor law violations were reported by the UP and Western's staff. "Western has the highest percentage of students who live on Scott Lefeber/ The Western Front The Bellingham Police Department uses this bus to round up underage partygoers in order to distribute citations and provide escorts to inebriated citizens. campus," Doughty said. "These students live here 24/7, have staff around at all times and are mostly underage, so this is a key factor of why so many citations are issued on campus." Doughty said that although many liquor law citations were issued on campus last year, most of the violations occurred off campus. "Last year, I had a party that got broken up and the paddy wagon bus came and the cops gave out about 40 MIPs," Western junior Angela Wood said. "The cops were pretty harsh, and I think they need to realize college students are going to party every now and then and should verbally warn us instead of issuing MIPs to everyone." Western freshman Pasha Gostev said he agrees with Wood. "I just got a MP? last night," See VIOLATIONS, Page 6 DIC proposes scholarship for students with drug convictions Consultants suggest three changes to college structure Brendan C. Manning/ The Western Front The Drug Information Center may host a rave or all-night dance party to fund a proposed scholarship for students denied federal financial aid due to prior drug convictions. By Josh Haupt THE WESTERN FRONT Western may soon be home to a new scholarship aimed at providing funding for Western students denied federal financial aid because of past drug convictions. The Drug Information Center is sponsoring the scholarship, which is pending approval from the Associated Students board of directors at Wednesday's meeting said Brandon Dombrowsky, DIC coordinator. The scholarship, if approved, would be under the control of the AS board of directors, just like any other scholarship, Dombrowsky said. The scholarship is in direct opposition to changes made by Congress earlier this year, which make it harder for students with past drug convictions to receive federal financial aid. Questions exist as to whether the changes are punitive to certain parts of the population, said Pat Fabiano, program director for Western's Prevention and Wellness Services. See SCHOLARSHIP, Page 6 By Emily Steel THE WESTERN FRONT Western consultants recently proposed three academic structural changes for Western to review. The structural recommendations are: to establish two colleges stemming from the current College of Arts and Sciences. These two colleges will be the existing Huxley College of Environmental and Natural Sciences and the College of Humanities and Social Sciences. The second consideration is to create a University College that would deal with students in their first or second year at Western. Lastly, Western would create a College of Applied Science and Technology, including ' five departments presently in the College of Arts and Sciences. Western is currently comprised of six academic colleges: the College of Arts and Sciences, the College of Business and Economics, Fairhaven College, Huxley College of Environmental Studies, the College of Fine and Performing Arts and Woodring College of Education. The study, initiated by Provost Andrew Bodman, asked consultants to evaluate, the structure of Western. According to the study, Bodman found the study necessary due to the increase in enrollment and the imbalance in sizes among current colleges, among other reasons. The two consultants, Chancellor Emeritus John E. Kerrigan from the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh and President Emeritus John E. Worthen of Ball State University visited the campus in April. They met with many department chairs, as well as each of the deans from the six colleges and the majority of the senior administrators, including Bodman and President Karen Morse. Kerrigan and Worthen also met with the Academic Coordinating Council, the Provost's Council, the University Planning Council, the Faculty Senate Executive Council and the Teaching and Learning Academy. They attended an open forum in which they were accompanied by 60 faculty and staff. The consultants also had the opportunity to talk with some students and parents. "The proposals offered might be workable, but they are largely unimaginative and only provide slightly more flexible ways to preserve the static aspects of the status quo," Fairhaven professor Dan Larner stated in a summary regarding the proposed recommendations and See COLLEGES, Page 6 Drunken student assaults women in Mathes Hall By Jon Walsh THE WESTERN FRONT A violent struggle began after University Police were called to Mathes Hall when a male freshman went into the dorm room of two 18-year-old freshman -females and caused approximately $360 in damage, including throwing their stereo through the window. "The student definitely had alcohol in his system, and there is also the suspicion that he had taken mushrooms," said Dave Doughty, UP assistant chief. Doughty said the male student had wandered down from his floor to the girls' floor on Nov. 15, and he entered their unlocked room and crawled into bed with one of the females. When both the girls awoke, they tried to get him to leave the room, but he refused. He then hit one of the girls in the shoulder, and the two of them ran out of the room to notify police. At that time, the student caused more damage before he left the room. It was toward the end of Greencoat Doug Boling's shift when he got the call. "When we got the call, another officer and I responded, and we were the first to arrive," Boling said. "We heard the noise of someone puking down the hallway, and when we got to him, he was lying there in a pair of shorts, unresponsive." "After we were able to get him to come around, he was uncooperative in giving us any information," Boling said. After Boling and the officer were able to wake the student, he became more aggressive, and a struggle began in the hallway. • See ASSAULT, Page 4 IN THIS ISSUE Cosmo hunk lives in Bellingham Nominated by a national magazine, bartender Chad Bartlett remains modest about his newfound fame.
