g: - OCTOBER Following nine months of preparation, a two-day undercover buy-sell operation for cocaine and marijuana in the University District resulted in a total of 105 arrests and confiscation of 24 automobiles by the Seattle Police Department. Sixty-one of the offenders appeared at King County Superior Court on felony charges. Most of those arrested had no ties to the University. For the second year in a row, UW residence hails, not including family-oriented dwellings such as Stevens Court,, experienced an increasing number of vacancies. The halls, which normally house 4,400 students. had roughly 200 vacancies this year, indicating a declining interest in on-campus housing. Bill Kingston, HFS director, said that residence halls draw up their budgets on the basis of a 90 percent capacity figure; since the halls were 95 percent full, residents did not experience an increase in housing costs. Housing and Food Services receives no federal or UW financial aid. so directors planned a marketing campaign to draw in more students in future years. Twenty-seven Hollywood celebrities appeared on Denny Field to campaign for Democratic presidential candidate Michael Dukakis.

Dr. David Linder, sued the U.S.-backed rebel group two years later for $50 million for his son’s death.

 I'm sorry. All lines are busy. Please hang up and try again. Almost endless busy signals replace long lines in Hutchinson Hall as students use the new STAR system to register for classes. Derek Timber uses one of the phones set up for registration at B IO Padelford. The GW planned to enforce the prohibition of alcohol and other illegal substances in Husky Stadium. In 1987, visual searches, such as looking into bags, were controversial in the sense that a search violated a person's privacy. Therefore, other enforcement tactics had to be used. In a recent case, more than twenty students were removed from a game for alcohol possession and rowdy behavior. Many students support the search policy. said Vice President for Student Affairs Ernest R. Morris, but apparently the American Civil Liberties CJnion did not. The ACLCJ felt that the searches were unconstitutional and promised to monitor the GW to make sure it didn't resume them. Until an acceptable search policy is approved, the GW will continue to eject fans from games for rowdiness and substance possession. When more than 60 trees disappeared from campus, people took notice. The trees were supposedly cut down to make room for the new Suzzallo Library expansion. Some of the trees cut were outside of the construction area, sparking a protest. The reason for the tree cutting was a need for more open space around the new expansion. This was done in the summer to reduce the chance that passersby would be injured by the falling trees, according to Alan Tarr, assistant vice president for facility management. Nine more trees were supposed to be cut but protesters were able to deter the demise of the trees by getting GW officials to consider another decision after a series of meetings. After the sale of Ivar’s Seafood restaurant chain in 1987, the late Ivar Haglund left a total of four million dollars to the GW graduate and undergraduate schools of Business Ad ministration. The same amount was also left to Washington State University's Hotel and Restaurant Administration Program. Haglund was an adviser to the WSG Hotel and Restaurant program as well as a GW graduate. Since Haglund set no restrictions on the use of the donation, the GW will invest the money. Profits will be used to support minority student recruitment, research assistantships for doctoral students, and faculty research grants in the Business Administration program. September 5
