Vol. 67 No. 3 Ten Cents FRIDAY, October 11,1974 Recycle all paper Enrollment over 8800 by LEA WEBB Pleasantly shocked as student enrollment figures roll in, Associate Registrar Robert Thirsk yesterday gave what he called a "ballpark" estimate of 8,850 registered students at Western this fall quarter. Due to a delay in a student count from the continuing studies program, an exact figure yet is unavailable. The figure exceeds last fall quarter's enrollment by at least 700 students. It also clears the estimated 6,960 earlier projected by the state's Office of Program Planning and Fiscal Management (OPPFM) and the administration's hopeful 7,715. A detailed breakdown of the exact number of men and women students, the number of students in each class and department, and the number of transfer students is not available yet. Richard Riehl, assistant director of admissions, Tuesday estimated the number of freshmen enrolling this quarter would be similar to that of one year ago, but the number of transfer students has increased noticeably.

A newly established city-college arboretum should maintain the present natural state of Sehome Hill. Western's Board of Trustees in August approved the interlocal agreement and the Bellingham City Council followed suit several days later. The agreement states the arboretum will be "preserved in a natural state to the greatest extent possible, will be devoted to educational, aesthetic, recreational and research purposes, will be open to public access and will be developed in a manner compatible with sound ecological concepts." A nine-member board of governors will direct the development, operation and administration of the arboretum. The city and college each will select three members. Three others, including the chairman, will be selected by the first six. The board members will be unpaid and serve three years. Basically, the board will prepare a long-range plan for the development of the arboretum. It also will prepare recommendations for the operation of the arboretum for approval by the city council and the board of trustees. 4 Western Profit Friday, October11,1974 editorial Safety, security for all The recent disappearances of six women from quickly died was the use of male escorts for campuses throughout Washington and Oregon women who must remain on campus after dark. have given rise to a new paranoia among college This is not a call to arms but only a women. suggestion for precautionary measures so Western Although Western has been spared the grim will not have to report the disappearance of a events, women here are fearful.

Socialists burn at implications of disclosure law

Western's Young Socialist Alliance (YSA) is protesting provisions of the Washington State Public Disclosure Law they believe will result in the harassment of political opponents of the status quo. The public disclosure law requires reporting the names and addresses of all contributors of $5 or more to candidates or political committees. Karl Foreman, YSA Washington Regional Organized, says, "In the case of the Socialist Workers Party, we would be giving the FBI a ready-made enemies list. The effect is going to be to intimidate people. "If a person here at Western donated to the Socialist Workers the person might be harassed in some ways. For example, a vet might lose his VA benefits," Foreman continued. The Socialist Workers will present their case at a State Senate hearings in room 2, Fourth Floor, Public Lands Building in Olympia, Tuesday, Oct. 15 at 3 p.m. They will ask for an exemption from the provisions of the disclosure law. They also will present more than 200 cases of alleged burglary, mail tampering, loss of employment and surveillance by the government in Washington State. YSA invites the general public to attend and support their position. "Disclosure will not prevent big business from controlling elections. I'm sure Common Cause and these liberals intended to solve the problem of big money in politics, but it is going to result in harassment of genuine dissent to the status quo," Foreman said. ?)5 • i ."Vr^iis '/ 14 Western Front Friday, October 11, 1974 Mann injured: W/rs seek first win against Cats by DAN RALEY The Vik gridders face a do V. or die situation in their EVCO STANDINGS upcoming range war with the Conference Overall Central Wildcats.

What was from the beginning, what we have heard, what we have seen with our eyes, what we beheld and our hands have handled, concerning the Word of Life — and the life was manifested and we have seen and bear witness and proclaim to you the eternal life, which was with the Father and was manifested to us. — What we have seen and heard we proclaim to you also, that you also may have fellowship with us; and indeed our fellowship is with the Father, and with His Son Jesus Christ. And this is the message we have heard from Him and announce to you, that God is light, and in Him there is no darkness at all. If we say that we have fellowship with Him and YET walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth; but if we walk in the light as He Himself is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His son cleanses us from all sin. •1 John 1: 1-3, 5-7
