Block party becomes unruly

Party-goers stand outside at the East Ivy Street block party Saturday
night. When Bellingham police responded to a report of a noise
violation, approximately 10 party attendees threw beer bottles at
police officers. The bottles damaged cars parked along the street.

Approximately 10 party-goers hurled beer
bottles at.police during a large block party
Saturday night on East Ivy Street.
A crowd of nearly 300 people, mostly
Western students, attended the block party
and chanted words of resistance in response
to police orders to leave the scene, Lt.
Craige Ambrose of the Bellingham Police
Department said.
"Parties usually do not become this
obnoxious," Ambrose said. "There will be
consequences for the hosts of the party and the
bottle throwers."
Police arrested Trevor T Scott, 20, on
suspicion of assault, rioting, resisting arrest
and minor in possession of alcohol, Ambrose
said. Scott was one of the party-goers who
threw beer bottles at law enforcement officers,
Ambrose said.
Police only arrested Scott, but Ambrose
said officers videotaped the incident and will
review the tape to try and identify more of the
bottle throwers.
Bellingham police received a call regarding
the noise from the party at 11 p.m., Ambrose
said. Approximately 14 police cars arrived at
the party, he said.
Officers used loudspeakers to tell everyone
to disperse from the area, he said. Partiers
began throwing bottles, which struck police
cars but did not cause much damage. Cars
parked along the street received the most
damage, he said.
Police began making threats with the
loudspeakers that they would begin making
arrests if partiers refused to clear the area,
and they would use tear gas or pepper spray
to stop the violence against the officers and to
encourage party-goers to leave, he said.

PETER THAN / THE WESTERN FRONT
SodexhoUSA, Western's food provider, charges sales tax on products which grocery stores don't,
including fruit, potato chips and bottled water. Inconsistent language in sales tax laws make it hard to
determine whether these taxes are legal on campus.
Campus markets may be charging students unnecessary taxes
BY JEFFREY LUXMORE
The Western Front
Western students and staff may be
paying unnecessary sales tax on many
items at food outlets on campus such as
Miller Market, Arntzen Atrium and the
Viking Union due to complicated tax
laws.
A bag of chips that costs 75 cents
at any grocery or convenience store,
would cost 81 cents from a food store
on campus because of the tax.
Sales tax laws changed significantly
after Jan. 1, 2004, when the
Washington state Legislature adopted
new definitions for how the state
taxes food. Whether SodexhoUSA,
which Western has a contract with to
provide all food services on campus,
implemented the changes is unclear
within the new tax code.
Steve Hall, director of retail and
catering for Sodexho, oversees food
services and retail outlets on campus. He
said sales tax laws are so complicated
that his company can't risk not taxing a
customer for an item but still paying tax
to the government.
"Sales tax laws are a huge gray
area," Hall said. "We have to choose to
be on the conservative side."
If Sodexho doesn't collect sales tax,
but the state requires it, then Sodexho
