"Sound failures mar jazz concert- rented, borrowed gear to blame k By Gayl Curtiss # Difficulties, with the loud-spe­ aker system dampened the enjoy­ ment of over 1000 jazz enthusiasts who attended Sunday night's ~ concert. f Stanley Turrentine, the fea- » tured guest, stopped his show after three numbers and com- * plained about the sound problem. The failure of some equipment *• made it impossible for Turrentine v#to hear his own four-man " (ensemble. John Drinkwater, executive director of the Board of Control, • explained what happened to the sound system," We used the music * department's system and tried to boost the power...and it just didn't ^ york." Drinkwater said the people who set up the system should not be blamed for the failure. "I dont think there is fault in what hap­ pened," he said. "They hadn't used the stuff before and the stuff we rented didn't match with the equipment we borrowed." The BOC director said Turrentine was not upset with the equipment failure. "All he wanted to do was put on a good show, and he was worried the audience was going to be let down." . Drinkwater said the next time any entertainer is booked he will rent sound equipment and lights the booking agent can arrange. That way, it will be equipment the entertainer is used to working with and the quality should be high. Also playing at the jazz concert was Central's owq^ jazz band. Featured was John Moawad, director and several outstanding soloists. Drinkwater also said this sound failure was unlike that of the Ike and Tina Turner concert. "At the Turner concert, the athletic department's equipment was used and it just wasn't good enough." He said this concert and the sound problems taught them a valuable lesson. However he went on to say, "I think all in all it was a good evening of music. Central is very open to jazz, more so than many schools because of the jazz band and its high quality." Students unhappy with the con­ cert called the sound problems a great disservice to both the jazz band and to Turrentine. f£WSC( Elfensburg, WA Vol.49, No. 12 Inflated grades valueless? by Clint Robbins , V Many colleges and universities across the f (country have launched extensive studies ^ into the new inflation area of academic -grading. .• One of the Ivy League schools some years saw a large increase in the number of Jionor students it was graduating. Prom ^"jkere, other schools from the east to Alaska ^jwere quick to recognize changes in their own students'grade average. What most schools discovered was that ( xne average student was getting grades as inuch as one-half point higher than in 4 .previous years. Central's Faculty Senate formed a com- | ) „vmittee in 1974 to find out what was 'happening with the "grade inflation** and 1 jle a report. That report was completed " hast January and is now the object of a new ^jstndy, by a new committee. H "We are to inspect the '75 study and then ^ jisake. recommendations to the Faculty Senate," noted L. Clint Duncan, committee ^jehairman and member of the cheniistry department. ' r Comprised of Duncan and five other f ^Central professors, the Ad Hoc Committee Academic Affairs expects to have a Report out very soon. "We have conducted a perious, computerized study of this at - Central," stated committee member John i. Housley, dean of Arts and Humanities, t Housley explained that the committee }as formed last spring to acquire statistics ^id data so that everyone concerned could jive the knowledge of what is happening. H have to take into account what inflated ^ades might do to a Central graduate's fiances of being employed." He said he feels that an employer might )t be so anxious to obtain a graduate of }*ntral just because he or she has good ades. I Dr. Leland Jahnke, a professor in the GIV£ oat TWO wvfflfiww.y XWvXvXwv biology department who is not a member of the committee, agreed that "over the last 20 years, grades are higher. Grades may have even been significantly [one-half point] increasing 10 years ago." Jahnke said that one reason for the inflation might have been America's in­ volvement in Vietnam. "Some professors were worried that students would be drafted if their grades were too low." "There was an emphasis in the '60s on getting away from the traditional letter grades," he said, "but that emphasis may be shifting back to letter grades now." Jahnke echoed Housley's reference to employer's reactions to higher grades. "Although sometimes grades aren't a good indicator of a student's worth, employers do look to the grades." In saying that he was a "traditionalist,* Jahnke emphasized that he felt letter grades were better than a pass-fail system. •'Letters of recommendation as another system would be okay for small groups," he said, "but it would be just too much work to write letters for a large class." Sociology professor Jan Mejer restated the existence of a movement in the '60s to abolish grades. "Although that movement failed to get rid of grades completely,** he said, "instructors have been placing less emphasis on grades.** Mejer said that students placed a contradictory demand on instructors during the '60s and were against the few teachers who tried to give all A's. "This is, obviously, a very hard issue. Some teachers try to let students institute their own grading sys­ tem. "I don't think the quality of teaching has gone down because the students seem to be more willing to relate to the material," Mejer explained, "and it is easier to teach now." Mejer said that the way an instructor relates to the student is a form of evaluation. "I think that many of the people who came to college in the '60s felt they had no option. That is changed today." A pass-fail system would be favorable to Mejer but he emphasized that this "would put more pressure on the student to take the initiative. A pass-fail system certainly carries less academic weight than tradition­ al grades." He commented that the student today has a different kind of courage than the students of the '60s. "People today are more aware of their needs they're less apt to stick their heads out but I do think today's student is working harder. Central Registrar Louis Bovos said that it "is very hard to interpret grades. The worst football team today could probably beat the best team of 30 years ago." Bovos commented that, the whole theory of grade inflation "leaves a sour note with me. Some years ago, kids didn't even have television, let alone all of the classroom aids we have today. "I think it only natural that the average grades should be going up with today's students. Instructors are better, so why shouldn't the students be better?" Bovos explained the reason for his football analogy: "When we see improve­ ments in the way things are done now in other fields, we accept that. Naturally, most people would agree that the same should hold true, for education." He objects to the idea of blanket grades. "I don't think a professor should give everyone in any class the same grade unless that is the way it works out in the end." Pass-fail grading would be all right with Bovos, "but sometimes it is used too much. It's important to have a system such as that available because it enables one to expand his or her field of knowledge." Central, according to Bovos, has a good history of placing its graduates. uWe have graduated some fine students over the years and I just cannot imagine any grounds for thinking that employers dis­ criminate against Central. "I don't think it's possible to be persecut­ ed by an employer because your grades are too high," he said. "The ad hoc committee studying Central's student grades is good as long as it doesn't have a pre-conceived notion that grades are unjustifiably higher," Bovos said. "I really think that grades are higher because the system is better, i.e. better teachers, better students, better facilities, etc." The ad hoc committee should have a report out very soon, according to Duncan and Housley. Next week, if the report is available, the Crier will examine the report and discuss the implications of it and the recommenda­ tions of the committee.
CAMPUS CB1M TWO Tom Lineham interviewed City councilman urges student involvement Elected to the Ellensburg City Council last Nov. 4, Central student Tom Lineham has been working along with six other council members towards solving some of the city's problems. In his ninth year Qf college, Lineham is a history major and names sociology as his minor. He is a part time student and works at the public library. In an interview with the CRIER, Lineham offered answers and opinions about his job as a council member and about city politics as it relates to the college and community. CRIER: What have you found to be the attitude of the people around Ellensburg as far as what the city is doing goes? LINEHAM: They're more interested than the students are because a lot have more vested interest. I really think the people are concerned. I've had them stop me on the street and say, "Hey, what do you think about this?" They're quite willing to express opinions. One lady called me up and really burned my eardrum. "What are you doing about the new swimming pool you promised?" I asked her, what are you going to do? Because of her phone call, I met with another person and now we're establishing a committee to get it done. CRIER: What do you think of Central's new Board of Control form of government? LINEHAM: The five-mem6er control board is probably the worst form of government a democratic society can have. It's not the five people, it's the structure they've been put under. Previously at the college we had a legislative body, we had more people involved in a decision-making process. When you narrow it down to just five you really lose a lot of interest because fewer people participate. It's really a dead government. I think John Drinkwater and the other members are really concerned and doing a great job, but as far as getting involvement from the students which is usually where you get imagination and creativity, they've failed. BOC has failed. The sooner they realize they need a type of government where everybody can partici­ pate, the better off this college will be. CRIER: What do you feel is the connection between the people of the community an# their government? LINEHAM: My personal philosophy is that the city government has alienated itself from the community, in a lot of unconscious,' subtle ways. There is a feeling on the part* of some city council members that the people can't do it themselves. This makes * some people who are concerned hesitant to come to the city council with questions. The * community should be picking up some of the., load of the council. I'm trying to get people j in that direction now. *4 Guppies, parrots rabbits, horses taboo "We don't make a fuss about birds or fish," says Becky Severin of Housing. "It's mainly the dogs and cats we're strict about." The sign "no pets allowed" is familiar on campus, but just how much heed is paid to it? Housing officials in the past have en­ countered rabbits and even a horse being kept by college resi­ dents. ^ "Once the animal is discovered, a letter is sent out asking that the student find other housing for the pet within ten days," said Severin. "If the pet is still there, we evict them." The consequences of keeping a pet probably outweigh any ad­ vantages. Besides paying a fu­ migation fee of $25, the student must find a new home for his animal. "Many end up in the homes of friends or parents," says Severin. The shelter also houses stray dogs found on campus, explained Central's animal control officer, Mark Bond. "If a dog is loose, it's in violation of city and state codes. We first take the animal to a cage at the campus police station and then later it's transferred to the shelter." Having a "campus dog catcher" on duty for three hours a day doesn't necessarily clear, the col­ lege of stray pets. "It's impossible to keep track of all the animals in that amount of time," he stated. Parking lot construction to include costly lighting Z2 New shipment of Wrangler Saddlebacks 100% Pre washed Cotton in all sizes. CHARGE IT! at DOWNTOWN Parking lot "D" construction is slated to begin in early February and, according to Charles Gruhl, "should be completed in one month." Gruhl, engineering and con­ struction officer in Central's Facil­ ities Planning and Construction Department, explained that the early March completion target "is the most accurate schedule avail­ able. "We are doing all we can to keep the work on schedule, or ahead of schedule," said Gruhl. He said that while the work is to begin on the south side of the lot first, "the north side will remain open for parking. Likewise, when work is done on the north side, the south side will remain open. "We are attempting not to inconvenience anyone at all with the construction work planned," he said. A pre-construction meeting was held between the facilities depart­ ment and the contractors and "we verified the material coming in for the job," Gruhl said. S and K Construction of Ellens­ burg was awarded the contract for the parking lot development, which is located across "D" St. from the instructional building. Gruhl noted that this phase of construction was all that could be financed by Central for the time being. "As more money is made available for work on parking lot 4D,' we will continue improve­ ments," he explained. "We can only do so much right now with 4 the money we have available.':1 Approximate cost of this portion of work is $30,000 with much of that figure going for lighting apparatus. "Lighting is, of course, a very important consideration in any project, particularly parking lot development," Gruhl said.

By Clint Robbing As a result of state codes adopted last year, Central and the city of Ellensburg have been working closer together on building projects. One of many examples of this new relationship is the upcoming removal of. the Hickey Apart­ ments, located on the southeast corner of the _ intersection of Eighth Ave. arid Sprague. Also to be removed is the Von : Bar gen residence, located on the northwest corner of the inter­ section of "E" Street and "C" The apartments, which had been used by various college departments over the past several years, will be removed by an Ellensburg contractor. They will also remove the residence. " Central awarded the contract for a $3,799 bid which was lowest in a group that included one bid of over six times that figure. Eric Nasburg, programming and design officer in Central's Facili­ ties Planning and Construction Department, noted that the col­ lege and the city "are working together on this and other college projects." Nasburg explained, "The city is responsible for making sure that we meet state building code re­ quirements. Any plans we make are submitted to the city for their review before we are out of the planning stage." f :• Although the . 3P£#raents are "not in that bad oft a condition," Nasburg commented, "we would like to discourage student foot- traffic across Eighth Ave. These are displaced buildings." He noted that long-range plans, "if supported by adequate funds, might lead to the develop­ ment of the area located by the Hickey Apartments into parking facilities." Nasburg explained that this is to be a project requiring agreement between the college and the city. "As in other building and like projects, the college and the city endeavor to work together to bring about accord." Removal of the buildings will result in improved traffic flow. "If the city and college concur, we should like to realign Sprague and "D" Streets so the traffic , runs smoother," said Nasburg. Presently, "D" St. isn't in alignment with Sprague Street on the opposite side of Eighth Ave- nue. Demolition hasn't started work on the sites yet "but when he does get started, he is obliged by the conditions of the contract to finish within 90 days. "He is contracted to cap the sewer pipes and disconnect utility services after he removes the buildings," noted Nasburg. Nasburg concluded that the campus police have been notified of the impending operations and intend to provide the necessary surveillance throughout the .dura­ tion of the contract. Christian fellowship groups varied here Laura Stout Staff reporter Religious groups on campus? Some can name a few, other are unaware of any such organiza­ tions at Central. In conversing with students on campus, it became apparent that many were either not familiar with the various fellowship groups, did not know they existed at this college. The purpose of this article is to acquaint the Central' student with the many organizations available to him. These include the Baptist Student Union, Cam­ pus Crusade for Christ, Chi Alpha, Christian Science Organi­ zation, Inter-Varsity Latter Day Saints and Young Life. BAPTIST STUDENT UNION Weekly meetings, with Bible study and discussions on various topics, are a part of the Baptist Student Union. The group of about 20 students meets every Tuesday at 7:30 pm in the brown. house adjoining the Chestnut Street Baptist Church. Friday night get-togethers are also a function of BSU. A project BSU members work on all year is raising support for summer missionaries, nine or ten students fr*m the eastern Washington area gain experience and growth through, working i with churches during th^' sum- " mer months. v-- CAMPUS CRUSADE FOR CHRIST "Arnold Tynbee, the late English historian, said that most people have never rejected Christianity, but only a poor character of it," quoted Bob Tiede, campus director for Cam­ pus Crusade for Christ. For students that know Christ already, Crusade offers Leader­ ship Training Classes (LTC) where they are taught how to live abundant Christian lives and communicate their faith in Christ clearly to others. Meetings are held Thursday evenings at 7 in SUB 208, and consist of a fellow­ ship and sharing time followed by LTC. "Our objective," says Tiede, "is to give students a clear picture of what Christianity is so that students can make an intel­ ligent decision based on the real thing. CHI ALPHA Chi Alpha, an interdenomina­ tional charismatic Christian fellowship group for collegians, sponsors weekly meetings Tues­ days at 7 pm at the Chi Alpha House at 1009 D Street. . "Ours is a four-fold ministry composed of worship, teaching* prayer and outreach," stated Jerry Wells. "We offer disciple- ship and evangelism classes for those interested."

In this corner - Torn Lineham Substandard housing includes many rentals by Tom Linehaip Ellensburg City Council The death of a Central student, Jim Howard, last November may have i)een avoided if the City of Ellensburg had taken constructive efforts to alleviate the acute housing problem in our town. If you read the associated news stories concerning Howard's untimely death you get the impression the fire was a result of a faulty heater and negligence on the part of the occupant. In actuality, the house Howard resided in was a fire trap. It was insulated with sawdust and the second floor had limited escape routes. What is curious, for those who remember the Howard tragedy, is that in the addendum of Jack's report is several pages of city maps. Here, every house in Ellensburg is shown as to its condition. On one of the pages you will find 1802 N. Maple, the Howard house (or rather, rental). It is denoted by black, Which eans in deteriorated condition. Over the year, because of its political unpopularity, the City has failed to adopt an unsafe buildings code or for that matter, adequately enforce the present building code. A number of citizens are afraid that an entourage of building inspectors may descend upon one's house and raise havoc with one's pocket book. Because of the inability to find a humane and economic way to deal with the problem over the year, the number of substandard buildings has reached ah intolerable level. It is projected by Jack's report, that if nothing is done, by 1980 oyer half the buildings in town will be 30 years or older, thereby increasing the housing problem. A good percentage of the substandard houses are rental units which are occupied primarily by the elderly, the low income and students from Central. To me, a landlord is like any other business-man-he must be held rsponsible for the safety and health of his clientele. And like the business-man downtown, a landlord must meet the various codes for safety and health. It is the City's responsibility to find remedies for the present situation, reme­ dies which will hot threaten drastically the financial position of either the tenant or the landlord. Again this year the City of Ellensburg is eligible to receive $83,000 federal 'hold harmless' funds from the Housing and Community Development Act. The top priority should be Ellensburg'd housing program. I am delighted to see newly-elected president of the college's employe: union (AFSCME), Dave Soltman, busy working for his members. First looked upon as an incorrigible radical, Soltman is showing he really intends to provide adequate, service to the local. Perhaps because, of the new union leader's zeal, the possibility of a much needed liason committee between the faculty and the campus civil servants may come into being. There is much in common between the two groups working together our college community would be strength­ ened. Student consumerism movement underway + Central students living on cam­ pus must pay $6Q a y ear for a (deposit on their dorm rooms. At the end of the year they get the same amount back, unless they have damaged their rooms. But maybe they shouldn't settle for the same amount. Last year at a college in Massa­ chusetts some students got to­ gether and filed a class action suit demanding five per cent interest on the deposits the college holds all year long for dorm rooms. The students lost the case but this last November the university ab­ olished the deposit requirement and refunded the students' money. One law suit, brought by a community college, involved the school catalog. Students in a nursing program weren't allowed to continue in the final course because they hadn't maintained a C-minus average. This require­ ment wasn't mentioned in the catalog. This case is still awaiting trial. Students should stop and think about whether they are getting their money's worth. Each year the cost of attending college rises. Central students increasingly pay more every year for books, rent and meals. It Is enough worry just trying to finish school and thinking about finding a job alter gradua­ tion. To have to be concerned about where your money is going Is just too much. For these very reasons stu­ dents across the country have started a large -consumer move- .rnent on college campuses. The consumer movement is concen­ trating on high-pressure re­ cruiting tactics/inflated employ­ ment promises and shoddy facilities. One student is suing her college because she didn't learn anything in a required education course. She said that every time she went to class the instructor spent the time reading aloud pamphlets and other materials that had been given to the class. The case has not yet been resolved, but her class does sound a lot like some of the classes offered here at Central. Perhaps it is time for the students to get together and see if they are really getting their money's worth. the FATHLK OF FhZeOoW Initiative to set Eighteen will become the uni­ form age of majority in Washing­ ton State if a proposed initiative currently in Olympia passes in the November election. Uniform majority age? That means that as of your eighteenth birthday not only could you vote, get married and be a legal party to contracts, but you could legally drink as well. The campus housing policy allows students over 21 to have alcoholic beverages in both dormi­ tory rooms and apartments stu­ dents under 21 may not. Should the initiative make the November ballot and subsequently be passed, the housing-policy will be altered to fit the new legal stipulations, according to Jim Hollister, direct­ or of housing. Hollister also said that he is "not proposing to eliminate laws to solve crime, but that the party syndrome is given an aura of glamour by means of being prohib­ ited." On the question of parties on campus, Hollister said, "I don't necessarily think this legislation would solve any existing problems ...or create any." The state legislature designated 19 as the uniform age of majority in 1973, but a referendum repeal­ ing the designation was approved in the general election that autumn. Proposed Initiative 318 would change Central's housing policy in that just 17-year-olds could be arrested for consumption of alco­ holic beverages, thus putting near­ ly all students on an equal plane. Except on the question of booze, Washington State already consid­ ers 18-year-olds to be adults.

/• This letter is in response to the two .articles and one editorial published in the Jan. 29 Campus Crier. I could not believe the gross exaggeration and misrepresenta­ tion you presented! The bookstore has little control over the actual delivery of the. books stocked, and the employes working at the bookstore work: quickly and efficiently to get the books ordered and on/the shelves. Three companies are ordered from to supply used books and orders are sent continually. In reference to the prices...any student can speak to the manager about this, and they will find the mark-up minimal. If you'd "mosey" to Mr. G's you would find prices just as high. At least compare the bookstore with the same type and size store-small and convenient. The stock doesn't allow, for large quantity orders, so there is no discount to be passed on. What* price aria you willjng to pay for convenience? Stocking the bookstore is quitci difficult considering the vast number of student* with such varied interests—and sizes. There is a limit not only in quantity, but a manufacturer will only supply clothing up to a certain size. Firing the staff would really be a mistake...there would be a chaotic mess trying to retrain new employes. Most of the time each employe is busy with a project, but sincere effort is given to find books. The employes are all human and make mistakes. Sometimes the only explanation can be that the book hasn't arrived yet. The last gripe I have is over the check cubing policy. All that is required is a valid ASC card. Realistically, is that too much to ask? I feel not...every student has proof of enrollment and this is necessary to cash a check, merely to keep the monev accessible for student cash checking. No place in town will cash a $25 check with only an ASC card! So...you are not only insulting the bookstore...you're insulting me because I work there. I started this quarter and I realize the effort each person puts into the . I operation of this store for the student's use. I'm not patting anyone's ass, this is how I feel as a student. Put your values where they stand. If convenience is prime, pay the price if not shop at Bonanza. The bookstore will always welcome your patronage, but at least^imderstand jrod appreciate its oper­ ation before bitching! . Rhonda Beatty Bathrooms leak To the Editor Recently the residents of Central apart­ ments received a memorandum from James P. Hollister, director of Housing Services. The subject of this memorandum was the reduction of expenses. It opened With "Due to rather severe financial Circumstances, we must ask for your help and cooperation to reduce costs where possible." ' You specifically wanted us to be aware of and concerned with minor plumbing prolj- lems. You pointed out that the maintenance man is paid about $26 an hour for overtime work. You ended the memorandum with this, "Thank you for your understanding and assistance." Mr. Hollister, we don't understand! We don't understand why the maintenance man is paid that much. Why do our johns overflow? Why don't you provide plungers? Why must you pay that man for a full hour when he only spends five minutes in our apartments? You don't seem to understand that we often lose our damage deposit of $40 because of the frequency of this minor plumbing problem. The linoleum around the johns, tubs and cabinets is starting to come unglued. This, Mr. Hollister, is what ..we don't understand. .

Wolfsburg crest..splitrear window... Volkswagen model years: how can you tel I? Gayl Curtiss Editor Until I owned a Volkswagen,, I considered them funny shaped little cars that didn't roar down the road, they putt-putted. Inevit­ ably, they were ahead of a long line of slow moving cars while they valiantly huffed and puffed their way over Snoqualamie Pass. But as I said, that was until I owned one, and now that I do, I am convinced of their merits enrapt by their charms proud to be among the college elite who drive them and up to my armpits in debt for repair work. One of the first things I realized about Volkswagens is, I couldn't tell one year from another. Fortun­ ately, a friend gave me a handy- dandy pamphlet printed by the VW people which attempts to explain the differences of the years. VW's were imported for the first time to the US in 1949. Model years were established in 1955 and since then, 18 million of them have been made in Emden, Germany. The older the VW, the harder it is to guess what year it is. I suppose the most sure-fire way is to check the model number if you have the good fortune to find it. [It's hard to check under their hood traveling 55 mph in your own car]. Anyway, 1949-1952 VW's have the split rear window, small tail- lights, and semaphore turn sig­ nals. The 1951 and 1952 VW's with the split windows also have the Wolfsburg crest added to the front hood above the hood handle. 1953-1957 VW's have small, one piece rear windows, with the '54 having a larger engine than ever y/.iwsA we've got "the system"!

ML A CAMERA & SOUND before, increased from 30 to 36 horsepower. The '54 was also the premier year of the key starter as opposed to a separate starter button on the dashboard. The 1955 model discontinued the semaphore turn signals and mounted directional indicators low on the front fenders. In 1956i bumper bows were added and dual tail pipes replaced the single pipe. The '57 changes were slight and hardly noticeable. In fact, the biggest change that year was the start of using tubeless tires. 1958 was the first year of the larger rear window and the turn signal was moved to the top of the front fenders. Also, a flat accele­ rator pedal replaced the roller type. In 1959 no visible changes were made to the body of the car, but the frame was reinforced for strength. (That doesn't help much when trying to identify one of them traveling down the road.) 1960 was the first year of the dished steering wheel. Also, the horsepower was increased again from 36 to 40 and the nonrepeater starter switch was used for the first time. This was a big year for interior changes also. The door handles became grab handles with push buttons, the sun visor was padded and the back seat was reshaped for greater comfort. In 1961, a sun visor and grab- handle were added to the passen­ ger's side, the automatic choke was introduced, the transmission became fully synchronized in all forward speeds and the pump-type windshield washer was added. 1962 was the first year of the larger tail lights and a gas gauge. Most of 1963's changes were minor. The Wolfsburg crest was removed, the floor was insulated and the ceiling was padded with vinyl. No major changes occurred in the 1964 VW, the only changes being that the horn design was redone, steel sunroofs replaced the fabric ones and the license-plate light was increased in size. The 1965 VW has larger win­ dows than ever before. The heater and defroster were controlled by levers mounted between the two front seats and the back seat could now fold down to make a platform. The 1966 Volkswagen is one of the easiest to identify. It is the only year with the numbers "1300" written on the rear hood. It was in this year the Volkswagen people increased the engine size again, from 40 to 50 horsepower, added mmM v "i ' y y , 'i*. * ' ^ V an emergency blinker switch and the headlight dimmer switch was mounted on the turnsignal. Engine size was increased again in 1967, from 50 to 53 horsepower. 67's are easy to identify. They are the last year Math the bows on the a' bumper and have the word 4 VOLKSWAGEN written on the back. They also added back-up lights, a 12-voIt electrical system, locking-buttons on doors, single- unit headlights and a dual brake system, Jr From 1968 on, changes became * more radical and commonplace. The 1968 model started the years * of the one-piece bumpers with the bows eliminated. Head restraints „ were also added, as was the automatic stick shift, external gas ^ - tank, collapsible steering wheel, emission control system, flattened door handles and larger taillights. 4 The 1969 VW added the rear window defogger, warning lights, ignition lock, locking gas tank and a day/night rear view mirror. From 1970 on, the changes are too numerous to mention. . Rooms in 5 heavy use - Classrooms at Central are receiving heavy use, but they haven't reached a point where over-icrowding is a problem.

These amendments, if adopted, will severely undermine the teachers' job security and rights of appeal. The Senate's bill, known as. SB3002, provides that the super­ intendent is soley responsible in deciding what constitutes prob­ able cause for dismissal of a teacher. It would also establish a three-year probationary period for all new teachers. In addition, it would abolish a teachers' right to de novo hearing or right of appeal to superior court regarding prob­ able cause for dismissal. Further, it would eliminate the court's power to award attorney's fees. And lastly, administrators could be bumped down to a certificated position if the teacher has less seniority. A similar measure currently under consideration in the House is HB 1364. The SWEA and the WEA uncompromisingly oppose both measures. For not only would important tenets of the law be changed or revoked, but, and this the hidden issue, the continued (existence of tenure would be placed in jeopardy. s. 2 boutique 3 4tl n.Marl s.

It requires strength and in the middle of . a some sense of balance to carry two bear hug you hear, and feel, full pitchers and empty glasses but even more so it requires what I have termed "barmaid biceps." After a full evening of beer sales even empty pitchers seem to weigh tremendous amounts. One aspect of the job that draws the most curiosity is propositions. Yes, a barmaid does get offers for all sorts of activities. The most obvious is, "When do you get off work tonight?" Which is usually followed by, "Why don't you come over and we'll make out on the couch?" The one most classic conversa­ tion I ever had was: several ribs bending under the pressure. The all-time classic in this category was when one of the customers came in and instead of the customary hug picked me up and carried me to a pool table, put me on top, then shrugged his shoulders and said, "I've always wanted to do that." The more serious side of the job, such as checking identification, is when real customer creativity takes place. Tavern employes hear the same lines several times a night but each time a new person uses them it sounds like an 'Do you need a ride home after original. The most common lines work?' y "No thanks. I have my car." "Good. I had to walk here. Why don't you give me a ride home?" A while later... "I hope you didn't get me wrong earlier. I'm not trying to get anything off you."

I APPLIANCE 417 N. PmH - 935-1128 The job behind the bar is usually just as interesting as being out among the people. In this role, though, you don't come in contact with as many people as does the barmaid, but those you do talk to for any period of time usually reveal as much about themselves as you care to hear-and in some cases even more. But generally, those people are very interesting individuals and you can learn much about the city, history, the college or people in general. I sympathize with any new bartender though. At least being a barmaid you don't have people watching you directly and if you do drop something it can be explained that someone ran into you or something. But the bartender has a definite audience-one that gen­ erally catches each mistake made. ' The biggest challenge is to correctly pour a pitcher of beer. There is to be a certain amount of head (foam) on each pitcher and the only thing worse than getting too much head is when you can't get enough. You see, with too much head you can flip the pitcher and correct the mistake but with not enough there is no recourse. There can be as many draw­ backs to this job as any other, and if the positive aspects didn't outweigh the negative I certainly wouldn't have made it a full year. After all, if Gayl Curtiss can be an editor and the water commissioner of Snohomish County, then being a news editor/barmaid should be a snap for me.

Illegal drugs... possibly poison by David Wasser Editor's note: This is the second in a series of articles on the drug situation on campus and in Ellens- burg. It was a cold, wet Thursday morning. We were working the day watch out of narcotics. Some­ one was selling pure heroin to kids, and they were O.D.-ing faster than we could count. This pusher with the pure horse had to be stopped. My name's Friday...I carry a grudge. The problem with a large amount of the street drugs here, and everywhere else- for that matter, is that one is never quite sure what he is getting. Someone who takes pure heroin, thinking he is taking the inferior stuff he usually gets, could die from it. Someone who thinks he is taking LSD and is sold a combination of powdered sugar and strychnine could die from that as well. Bill Hillar, who teaches "Mind Altering Substances," a health education class, says there are many street drugs that aren't what the dealer says they are. "There's some speed in town, he said, "that's made up of high quality caffeine, arsenic, strych­ nine and talcum powder. I guess the talcum powder makes it go down easier." The "organic" drugs are not all that organic, according to several local experts. Psilocybin (or magic) mushrooms are practically non­ existent. Officer Fabian Kuchin of the Kittitas County Sheriffs office said that most mushrooms confis­ cated in the area were purchased in local markets and sprayed with LSD. Hillar said that some are slightly toxic mushrooms, that can cause hallucinations after the user is through vomiting. Mescaline, another of the "or- ganic"group, is usually LSD mixed with some brown ingredient, often cocoa mix. Peyote buttons, the source of true mescaline, are rarely found here. A danger of peyote buttons is that one of the natural ingredients is strychnine. Strichnine is a common ingred­ ient inmanynstreetdrugs, because it causes hallucinations due to severe toxicity. It can be found in LSD, marijuana, mesceline, and speed. Besides the common street drugs, other substances are frequently used to get high. Nut- r~ f g 3 HOT vHAr tr n. / meg and catnip have been used as hallucinagents, but they can stop the heart. Morning glory seeds contain lysergic acid amide which is one-tenth as powerful as LSD. Unfortunately they are coated with methyl mercury which is a very toxic anti-fungicide . One answer could be a drug identification center. This is where a person could bring his street drugs without fear of being busted and have-his drugs analyzed. But such a program would meet with strong opposition from var­ ious "sectors- of the community. Businessmen would not want such a place downtown, for fear of the type of people it would draw. Many people would feel such a program would encourage drug usage. Perhaps the biggest problem \ su«e WHO CAC£S? / i would be the legal question. Would police be willing to let such an operation function without the fear of harassment or busts? Officer Kuchin said he wouldn't be opposed to a drug l.D. center. "Fd rather see someone survive than not survive," he said. But he expressed doubt about it working4 due to the legal aspects. Detective Wayne Chandler of the Ellensburg police was more sure of his position: "There's no way I'd go along with that. You come in and tell me you're using drugs and I'lV bust you." He went on to say that police allowing such a program to exist would consti­ tute "aiding and abetting and/or, condoning drug use," Dean of Students Robert Miller was just as opposed to a drug I.D. center on the campus. "I don't think many people care what's in them," he said. It appears that too many people are concerned with forcing theiCj morals on others. They don't want people to use drugs, and that's that. If they should become ill or die because someone sells poison when he claims to sell mescaline, that's too bad. What these people don't seem to realize is that no amount of Arf Linkletter spots, no amount of? Dear Abby lectures and certainly no amount of police harassments and bust will stop drug usage. Since drug usage is here to stay, it seems the least we could do is keep people alive. v •* NEXT WEEK: What is being done- in the counseling world regarding drugs. 4»," ?

CAMPUSCltlM ILCVfM war by Paul Fridlund Dr. Paul LeRoy is an expert on African history. A member -of Central's history department, he has visited Africa three times since 1971. On his last trip, Dr. LeRoy witnessed first-hand the Ethiopian revolution. In an interview with the Crier, he answered questions about the current civil war in Angola. CRIER: What is happening in Angola? LEROY: Presently Angola is in turmoil. Two political groups [three parties] are now fighting over future goals and power, partly based upon tribalism and in part on different ideals held by their respective leader* CRIER: Who are the three Angolan groups involved? LEROY: One, the MPLA, is based on the capital city of Luanda and centered largely around the mestizo elite. They also receive help from one of the largest tribes in Angola-the Kimbundu. The second group, the FLN/GRAE, is found in the north near the border of Zaire (formerly the Congo). This group is based on the Bakongo tribe. A third group, UNITA , is made up of several different tribal groups located in the central east interior and towards the south. iiiil®Mfggp m&r mim CRIER: Personalities seems to play a big role in Angola. Who are they? LEROY: Mr. Agustinbo Neto heads the MPLA. He was one of the very few to obtain a university level education-this in Portugal. His interests were influenced by concepts of socialism and communism spread secretly in the days of Fascist rule. While in Portugal he established relations with future revolutionary elites from other ex-Portuguese polonies. Although he is city educated, Neto is trying to carry out reforms regarding land tenure and usage , social ! services and educational develop­ ment on a non-tribal basis. Holden Roberto's start was more tradi­ tionally oriented although he was educat­ ed by Protestants. His rise to prominence was the outcome of a disputed election to the old Kingdom of the Kongo. This kingdom dates back to the 15th century and still had some degree of. political autonomy in spite of being under Lisbon. Roberto's first rise to power is connected not with a national movement, but a fierce struggle involving two rival contestents for the throne-one a Catholic, the other a Protest­ ant. When his organization was established, the goal was to revive the Kingdom of the Kongo and free it from Portugal. While Roberto was at the Pan African Conference in Ghana, different African leaders told him he must change his objectives and aim toward an independent Angola based on non-tribal lines. His party, the Union of People's of Angola, was formed in 1954. Roberto's strength comes from peasants in the interior north. The third group, under Jonas Savimbi, is the Union for Independence of the Total of Angola. Essentially, this group split off from Roberto's FLN/GRAE. Its strength is found in the eastern and southern interior. CRiER: What brought the Angolans to revolt against the Portuguese? LEROY: The crucial turn of events date back to the late 1950's. It was clear by 1961 that Portugal had no intention of leaving. It was also clear that Angola was looking more like South Africa and Rhodesia. White money and settlers were too entrenched in Angola. Africans who were concerned about achieving independence realized they would need outside aid, especially skills for organization, finances and military equip­ ment. CRIER: Why are outside nations interested in Angola? LEROY: In the decade before independence there was a very rapid influx of Portuguese settlers. There was a sudden economic build-up, especially in industries. Key among developments is the discovery and development of large oil reserves in the northern detached area of Cabinda. Almost like a last breath for survival, the Portu­ guese opened the area to European and American investors~but it was too late. By that time the Congo was independent. The flood of black freedom from the border was too much for the Portuguese to withstand. CRIER: Where did the Angolans get help? LEROY: Zaire is sympathetic to Roberto and the FLN/GRAE. In addition, Roberto recieves help from several other African countries, especially the former British colony of Zambia. The Organization of African Unity had already established a special committee to recognize African groups trying to free themselves from European and/or white domination. This meant, even though their resources were limited, they would help to supply funds, experts and weapons. Somewhere in all this the US became involved. UNITAV, under the leadership of Savimbi, was originally attached to Roberto and therefore receives their aid and training from the same groups. Mr. Neto's MPLA rivaled Roberto for aid from OAU. While not receiving aid from Congo (now Zaire), they did receive moral support from African guerilla movements in Portuguese Mozambique and Portuguese . Guinea-Bissau, and subsequently partial recognition from the OAU. Neto has requested av^.J&om IVi© US and also tKm the Russians, Chinese, ana trained experts from Algeria. CRIER: Why would he request aid from both Western and Communist nations? LEROY: Different rival African leaders and paramutual military organizations will seek aid in any form-from wherever they can get it. For example, even now the MPLA had requested aid. from the US. CRIER: What are their goals? LEROY: These people, whoever wins, have had two goals in mind. One was to oust Portugal and that goal has been achieved., Their second goal is to create a new nation that will raise the standard of living for its different peoples. The civil war, as it now exists, is primarily a fight to decide which groups will control and implement which plans. CRIER: To what extent is the US involved in the Angolan civil war? LEROY: Our government hasn't let us know to what extent we are. involved, how we are involved and for what we are involved. One problem has been Cold War thinking~a revival of the Iron Curtain. Ir other words, there seems to be a revival o: the military industrial complex around thi globe. CRIER: Why is -the military industria complex interested in Angola? LEROY: Angola is a potentially rich area. Ii has oil, iron and other mineral resources. Ii addition, Angola is very strategical^ located. It serves as an outlet for coppei and other minerals of the Katanga region Her location also lies within a majoij passageway for oil tankers moving arounc Africa from the Middle East. CRIER: To what extent will Angolans become involved with non-African nations^ LEROY: Africans are too busy to worry about getting involved with the outside. While they often express such words as communism, Marxism and socialism, their mi »K« Hi mm. *L+r\ ~ main concern is how to establish a new way of life-one where they will no longer suffer from being backward or ruthlessly exploit­ ed by foreigners. In terms of the African experience, capitalism has become too closely identified with white European exploitation. Socialism and communism do not bring fright because they are not too different from the social-economic patterns of Africa. Africa is still overwhelmingly rural, has communal land holding and the extended family. This places far greater emphasis on the needs of the community rather than the individual. CRIER: Does this mean they would welcome communism? LEROY: No. The Africans have no inten­ tion of being dominated by a new master replacing the old. For too long they had been under Portugal. They may take aid from the outside, like Russia, but they will not take domination. T Former Atheist John Clayton pvill discuss this question and others Saturday, Feb. 7, 10am-midnight.

&MPUS CRIER TWELVE Red Cross to'draw' on students for blood Central's Red Cross Drive be- ins Feb. 17. "It's one very special way to elp people in need," Dr. Pearle )ouce said of the blood drive to be eld for one day in the small SUB tallroom from 11 am to 3 pm. Dr. Douce is faculty coordinator or the Red Cross at Central. She aid that for a number of years the Central quota of 140 units has ilways been met(a unit is a pint of )lood)."Only once have we not met Ur quota." According to Lois Robinson, jxecutive secretary for the Red oss in Ellensburg, each quarter he agency holds blood drawings n campus and downtown. Al- hough the Central drive has sonsistently met the quota, several city drawings fell Short of heir 110-unit quota. City draw- ngs produced 66, 71 and 94 units iuring the last three drawings. Dr. Douce said that the last drawing on campus produced just 143 units of blood, only three pints over the quota. She added grate­ fully, "We are happy when we get our quota." According to Dr. Douce, there is a great deal of cooperation between faculty, students and staff for these drives. "The cooper­ ation has been excellent. The students are generous. When they want to help, they do it." Dr. Douce said she considers everyone involved a volunteer, even the donors. "We really get help from everyone," she said. She further explained that the drive is sponsored by the ASC, but helpers include faculty, students and some women from Ellensburg who type, serve refreshments and engage in other duties. Dr. Douce accepted the assign­ ment of faculty coordinator for the blood drive in 1969.

Deb Neagle, A&E Editor Music Menu / / His / / by Rob Mates ERIC CAJRMEN ARISTA 4057 A few years back the Rasp­ berries made their musical debut into the rock-n-roll circuit. Because of the wrong type of publicity, the band was dubbed a "bubble-gum" group and lead singer Eric Car­ men, a "teeney bopper." Photo? of the Raspberries were even shown in Sixteen magazine. (Donny Os­ mond would have been proud.) The pressure was too great, so Carmen left the Raspberries to prove himself' a serious musician. ' The convincing proof lies "in the grooves of his first solo album, simply entitled Eric Carmen. The album contains a variety of sounds from easy listening to good rock-n- roll. Sunrise, the opening tune on side one, begins with a spacey, mellow transition into a solid rock beat that resembles old Badfinger material. That's Rock & Roll has a Beatle's flavor to it with a nice guitar solo by Dan Hrdlicka. No Hard Feelings is probably the hottest cut on the LP. I believe the song is an apology for the material he released when he was younger. Anyway, it's a rocker. However, repetition^of musical excellence isn't abundant. At least half the album is weak.

Frampton Conies Alive! Peter Frampton A & M SP-3703 Since his commercial debut with the Humble Pie in the early -70's, Peter Frampton has proved him­ self as a remarkable guitarist. Although his first solo work with Frampton's Camel Wasn't finan­ cially successful, their album did prove, .that , he was extremely versatile, and he could rock along with the best of them. His newest album, Frampton Comes Alive, merely exemplifies that. The double album is full of high energy, evolving around in­ tense acoustic material to sizzling rockers. Frampton's singing is excellent. It is amazing that a person can play the guitar as well as he does and still be able to produce clean, effective vocals. Frampton and band do an excellent job on the Rolling Stones classic Jumping Jack Flash. He adds a different flair to the song with the addition of pianist Bob Mayo. A seven minute cut which was originally released on his Framp­ ton's Camel LP Do You Feel Like We Do is extended to fourteen minutes. The song combines an interesting solo by Frampton with the talk box ( a Joe Walsh invention), then he slides into an incredibly smooth, fast guitar solo. The only disappointing thing about the recording is that the crowd is too loud. Ignoring this one drawback, I feel it is the best album ever produced by Peter Frampton. the TAV ad NEW IN ELLENSBURG! ! 5 p.m. until 7 p.m. Monday thru Friday TOPLESS BARTENDERS (Take your "Go Cats"Pennant to the Game)
mess hall. .. today a CAMPUS CRIER Right in the middle of Central's campus stands perhaps the ugliest building within the college's jurisdiction. That long, green architect's nightmare across the mall from North Hall is, in reality, a Paleontology Lab. "'.-r: • . Like a martyr left hanging as an example of some past evil deeds, the Paleontology Lab has endured 30 years. The lab was originally an army mess hall built during World War II. After the army abandoned it along with several other barracks in that area, it became an art lab. Then about three years ago, the school decided to demolish those buildings, leaving the one structure to serve as the Paleontology Lab. The Paleo Lab could be more properly termed an historical museum for the central Washington area. Within the aging waUs of the lab is a huge collection of fossilized wood, plants and birds almost exclusively from central Washington. Specimens in the lab are limited mainly to plant, life since paleontology deals with life forms which existed from X million years ago on back. "Paleontology is becoming more of a hobby rathe* than a profession," said Dr. Edward Klucking, who is in charge of the Paleo Lab. _ Perhaps the specimens with the widest general interest are the fossilized skull bones of camels, elephants (woolly mammoths) and horses that were found in the Yakima area. "Actually, if it weren't for people, those animals, the woolly mammoths and camels* should still be there," said Kluckinsr. As of now, the Paleontology Lab contains mostly fossils but it also has a room in which birds are kept for biological studies as well as a modified freezer-locker "cold lab" for studying fish. A major problem that Central paleontologists face is that their building is condemned, so in a sense, the : building itself is a fossil. "The present status of the Paleo Lab is that it does't meet fire regulations," said Klucking. "Conse­ quently, we are unable to hold (classes in there, but j?e can have some select studies going there. "It would cost more than the old building is worth to bring it up to fire regulations so you could hold clashes in there. We hope to build a new Paleo Lab in a few ye^rs," added Klucking. Are TV classes the latest devel­ opment in education? For professors from five Wash­ ington colleges they are. A three- credit course on the American Revolution is being offered to television viewers throughout the state. Central, Western, Eastern WSU arid UW are offering the course: in the first cooperative instructional effort by the schools. The course will consist of 15 lectures and five discussions invol­ ving historians from each school. Central will be represented by Dr. Lawrence Lowther of the history department. He has pre­ pared three lectures and wiJOi also be featured on the panel discus­ sions. _ ^ "We are ailing at two audi­ ences," Dr. Lfowther explained. "One is the genferal public and the byPamela Whitener Central's Faculty Senate voted unanimously on Jan. 21 to delete credit for military service for new students entering Central niext fall. Each year 50 to 75 veterans from throughout the nation apply to Central. In the recruitment of veterans* Central is one "oi the few- Washington colleges granting cre­ dit for military service. The other colleges are: Spokane Community College, Spokane Falls Community College, Gonzaga University, Walla Walla Community College, Whitworth, Seattle Pacific College and Fort Steilacoom. Dr. Donald Schliesman, dean of undergraduate studies, presented the proposal and said, "We are the only state institution to have offered military credit there are 34 other institutions which award none." The. veteran could qualify to receive as many as 30 under­ graduate quarter hour credits. If "he had served at least one year of. active duty, he would be given 12 hours of lower-division credits. The veteran was required to enroll in 10 hours of graded credits and maintain at least a 2.00 to receive the 12 credits for military service. Central will continue to grant college credit for military schools providing the individual served one year of active duty and the service school was recommended in the American Council of Educa­ tors' publication, A Guide to the Evaluation of Educational Experience in the Armed Services. The credit will be based on the schools listed and on the official records (either Form DD214 or Form DD295). Students who are currently eligible to receive credit for mili­ tary service are urged to file their request with the Registrar's Office. other is our students. This makes it important for us to compromise and plan lectures that will reach both- we can't be too general and we can't be too specific." "We think that since it does involve five schools we may be setting a- precedent for further academic activities," he added. "We hope to prove we can work together to provide joint services,, for tWe state." . The course involves cooperation of continuing education adminis­ trators, the history departments and the production units, of both state universities " Lectures are being taped at U W and WSU and all the panel discussions will be taped at WSU. The schools are still working on a study guide, planning assigned reading and working on a term paper and exams. It is possible students will be required to visit one of the campuses to take exams. "We can cover about the same amount of material in 20 sessions as we could in 30 classroom lectures," concluded Dr. Lowther. This is because the lectures will be uninterrupted. "The American Revolution" will be carried by educational tele­ vision and some commercial sta­ tions. It will be the first time that residents throughout the entire state will be able to enroll simul­ taneously in a college level course for credit.

Hea Ith Center offers many free services Health care is available to all full-time Central students through the campus Health Center. The center, located at 11th Ave. and Poplar, provides a wide variety of medical services for students. Many, are free. Two doctors and six registered nurses .are employed by the Center. They see patients from 9 to 11:30 am and 1:30 to 4 pm Monday through Friday. Except in emergency situations, patients are treated on a first- come, first-served basis. A valid ID must be. presented before a doctor will examine a patient. Emergency service is available on a 24-hour basis. One of the two doctors is always on emergency stand-by, and a registered nurse is on duty at all times except vacation periods. There is no charge for examinations, physical therapy, Ultra-sound therapy, diathermy, whirl pool treatments, dressing " changes and suturing lacerations. The clinic also has free wart freezing on Fridays. Charges are made in cases involving: -VD checks -lab tests and X-rays -allergy shots, TB tests, and Injectable medications -casting -elective surgery [soch as removing a mole] , -minor surgery In cases where hospitalization is required, patients may be transferred to Kittitas Valley Community Hospital or referred to a specialist in Yakima. The Health Center conducts preganancy tests, but it does not provide birth control. This is handled through the Family Planning office of the Kittitas County Public Health Department. An 18-bed infirmary is included in the Health Center. Students are not charged for staying there, but if they don't have a meal card they are charged for meals. The infirmary gives patients a chance to get out and attend class while convalescing. Student insurance covers many of the services at the clinic, and the Health Center is authorized to fill out the paperwork involved in claims. - ' ' ,- ' .. . IfSii!

Box 2345 Rockville, Maryland 20852 1% Girls like it.' vtoy Jackie Humphries * Nfews Editor A pie-in-the-face venture at Central wasn't quite the smashing success that organizers had orig­ inally hoped it would be. In fact, it didn't get past the poster stage. The posters were complete with order blank and directions for ordering as well as a price list and "Pie-hit" description. Six cate­ gories were: "Ganges Garnish" for a fellow student-price $5. "Craig Hill Crowner" for TA's and graduate assistants-price $8. "Sweecey Smash" for professors -price $10. 'Thorp Thwack" for department chairmen-price $15. "Smoother Mother Smother" for academic deans-price $25. "Slicker and Quicker Finger Licker" for other administrators- $25 and up. The still anonymous formulators listed sponsorshipnfo be the "pHr Scholarship Fund." Proceeds were to go to a non-described "Central General Scholarship Fund." News of the venture and a copy of the poster reached the desk of Madalon Lalley, administrative assistant to the president. She asked the Campus Police to re­ move the signs, as listing of the "General Scholarship Fund" could have been interpreted as having college approval, which it did not. The National On-Campus Re­ port cited an incident which didn't end quite as simply. The article said: "One reason last spring's pie- facing fad was so short-lived was that there were many people who didn't think it was all that funny."

The student testified that the professor's students had chipped in to raise a $20 fee for the pie hit but that the student never receiv­ ed his pay. The professor said, "I filed the complaint because the student had disrupted my professional activi­ ties. Someone had to set a limit" The 12 members of the jury listened diligently to testimony about such points as the incident itself, the extent of stain damages to the professor's clothes, the degree of force used in detaining the pie-thrower and the profess­ or's popularity or lack of same with his students.

Lock it. hide valuables Protect your car from theft byJanet E. McClellan Officer, Campus Police Should you worry about auto theft or theft of your valuables from your auto while it is on campus? Yes. In the last six months at Central there have been two auto thefts and over 30 larcencies involving the removal of - valuables from students' autos. Why aren't the police doing their job? They are, but it is impossible to be everywhere at once. The Campus Police Depart­ ment, in cooperation with the Ellensburg Police Department, has been able to apprehend those persons involved in the majority of thefts mentioned above. However, just because these individuals have been apprehended is no reason for the students to be overly secure in the fact that the same such incidents won't happen again. Many persons at Central make their autos attractive to thieves by leaving the keys in the vehicles, or the doors unlocked or the windows rolled down. Most auto thefts In the United States involve juveniles who take die auto for a "joy ride.** The prime responsibility for these types of thefts can usually be placed on the operator of the vehicle who forgot to remove his keys or left the car running while he dashed Into a building for "just a nimate." A minute was 111 that was necessary for him to. have his car stolen. The average recovery rate for stolen autos in the United States is 90 per cent. However, few autos' are ever returned to their owners in the original condition. The owner of the stolen auto is rarely compensated for the inconven­ ience and lack of transportation while the auto is gone. Some general rules for pro­ tecting your auto from theft and protecting your valuables inside your car are as follows: (1) Always keep your doors locked, even if you only intend to be away from your car for a few . minutes. (2) Never leave valuables or packages in plain view that might be a temptation Jfor a would-be- thief. If your car is locked and valuables are in plain view, the temptation for a thief might be to break your window to get at the packages. (3) Always park in a well-lighted area and look around for loiterers before leaving your car. (4) When driving in town and on the campus, keep your doors locked. This will prevent you from unexpectedly obtaining any un­ wanted passengers. (5) Do not keep any types of identification, money, wallet, checks or credit cards in your car. If your car should be stolen or ransacked, the thief can use these items to defraud others and the end result will be just more hardship for you. (6) If you intend to have a stereo tape deck put in your car, your best buy for your best protection would be the type of tape deck that is locked in by a key and can be removed by you for safe­ keeping. If you intend to park your car for a long period of time, you can easily remove the tape deck to take it with you or lock it in your trunk. (7) If you lose your car keys never advertise the type of car they belong to or your license plate number when inquiring for their return. Report the loss of your keys to the police. Know what other types of keys you had on your key ring, you may want to have your house or room locks changed. (8) Be alert for your protection and the protection of your car and valuables. increase By Dave Soltman Pay raises for state employes are once again a hot issue, and the Washington Federation of State Employes has presented its pro­ posal to the legislature. The union is seeking an across the board increase of approxi­ mately $75, coupled with a fully- paid-for single-rate medical insur­ ance program tocover all state employes and their families. If you support this proposal, write your legislators, Sen. Nat Washington, Rep. Frank "Tub" Hansen and Rep. S.E. "Sid" Flanagan at the State Capitol, Olympia, Wa. 98504. Do it now! The Federation has taken posi­ tions on other legislation of con­ cern to state employes. We oppose attempts to reduce the total number of paid holidays and support bills that would change the Memorial Day holiday to coincide with the federal holiday. The union opposes a bill that would change the current "rule of three names" certification pro­ cedure for filling job vacancies to a rule of "three highest scores." The "three highest scores" procedure could easily result in more than three certified applicants, and the union is concerned that this would allow for too much subjective administrative consideration in hiring. At Central, the union has been Active in a number of areas on campus. At the direction of the local membership, local president Dave Soltman pursued with Staff Personnel Director Wadell Snyder the matter of the change in the job recruiting system. The primary result of several discussions was abandonment of the proposed mass posting of job classifications. We will continue to monitor the new process, particularly Dr. Snyder's determinations .as to whether a position will or will not be posted as promotional. And, speaking of promotional opportunities, Staff Personnel is currently invoking HEPB rules which allow them to bypass the normal promotional system of certification for interviews. We strongly oppose the way these rules are being used here, and we ask that you contact us if you apply for a job that is posted with the provision that the top so-many applicants on the written exam will receive an Oral Board Review. The local union is currently representing four employes and one resigned employe in grievance proceedings and five others in job reallocation matters. If you have any questions about college or HEPB rules or procedures, please contact us, even if you are not a union member. o VI j 0) OVERTON'S for tropical fish & aquarium supplies located 2 miles North of Old Vantage Highway on Wilson Creek Road. 962-9166 Closed Sun - Mon gift items household items clothing come see our new arrivals 402 south main Adult illiteracy ram According to a recent govern- ment-funded survey, 20 per cent of all Americans over the age of 16 are functionally illiterate. In other words these people are unable to read want ads, balance their checkbooks or read the directions on a cake-mix box. As part of the National Right to Read Effort, several state outlets of Action Council have received nearly $100,000 to es­ tablish adult reading academies. Established by an act of Con­ gress, the reading academies are designed to involve free, individ­ ualized instruction to those in need of their services. The academies include in­ structional methods which ad­ dress the individual needs of the participants. The program plan­ ners also hope to seek involve­ ment with community agencies and organizations which can sup­ plement the federal effort. According to the project di­ rector, Linda Jacobs, "Many people are embarrassed by their inability to read and past failures of trying to master reading skills. We want to create a learning situation wViere a person cat* Vw taught the tools of reading outside of the frequently threat­ ening classroom atmosphere." Gene Grunden is coordinating efforts in Kittitas County. Ne said over 500 people in the county are in need of such help. Grunden said the main prob­ lem with the program is a lack of tutors. The program is designed to strongly rely on volunteer tutors. He said he hopes to recruit students in sociology, psychology and education. "We're working on getting credits for tutors," he said. He said tutors are needed in the Cle Elum area as well as in Ellensburg. "Some of the best teachers are those who have a real interest in people, not necessarily those who have had a formal education," said Jacobs. 1 Officially, the program is de­ signed to serve youths and adults-those 16 years and older, and out of school. While the drop-out and people for whom English is a second language are target students, "there are many of us who have high school diplomas who cannot read to the level we need in order to survive on a day-today basis. It is not only those who cannot read or barely read that we want to reach/but also those who canno read - well enough to meet their ^MWuJar riefe"ds^' 'J,acobs said Although some classroom teaching is used, most of the tutoring is done on a one-to-one basis. Individuals interested in tutor­ ing should contact Gene Grunden at the Action Council office, 925-1448. 1 Face it...you've al­ ways wanted to fly!

EDUCATION STUDENTS The education department at Central continues to offer a program of teacher education that is eminently successful but little known.. It is the Seattle Urban Program which prepares teachers for service in schools where the emphasis is on different ecpnomic, cultural and racial backgrounds.

No. Nothing isever"almost legal." Especially marijuana. Last year alone 420,000 people were arrested for marijuana offenses. Of those, 90% were for simple possession. But now a growing number of Americans are thinking seriously about changing the present mari­ juana laws. In Tact, some laws have already been changed. The state of Oregon has successfully de-criminal­ ized the personal use of marijuana. The American Bar Association, The National Council of Churches, Con­ sumers' Union and The National Education Association have urged other states to do the same. An in­ evitable chain of events has begun. Become part of that change. Help us help you. I MAMMI iHOIjjTJL NATIONAL OftCANIZA * ION I OR THF RFt-ORM OF MAR III* ANA I AU'S W17II STtOT.

Loss threatens The Wildcats fell last Saturday night to the very impressive Eastern team. Led by Ron Cox the Eagles won easily, 84-67. This loss threatens the chances of Central being this year's league champion. Coach Nicholson ex­ plained Eastern played very well, saying they made few mistakes. Scoring was close the first five minutes of the game until Eastern SPC nips Gats 75-71 Seattle Pacific College nipped Central 75-71 last Wednesday in Seattle The score at iialftime was 40-36 with Seattle Pacific in command. But with 14:33 remaining in the second half, the 'Cats came back to tie it up 48-48. A see-saw finale became evident as the team from Seattle rolled off six straight points with 2:09 remaining. This made the score 71-63, with SPC in the lead. It then was Central's turn with the hot hand, and with 1:00 remaining, SPC led 71-69. C : The stage was set. As tlie Wildcats were trying for a final shot, they had a pass stolen from Seattle Pacific guard Jeff Case. Three Central cages finished in double figures. Dave Oliver hit 16, Byron Angel had 14 and Andy Gooden scored 12. spurted ahead. The Eagles had a 50-36 halftime lead. It was two for you, two for me, until late. Scoring went back and forth. Central had a short lead in the first half when the Eagles' John Alaniva scored, putting Eastern ahead. In the second half, Central's Dave Olzendum and Les Wyatt scored the first points. The 'Cats played well until Eastern reeled off 10 unanswered points, making it 68-55. The Wildcats were outrebound- ed by the Eagles, 54-44. Eastern converted 28 out of 35 from the line. The iast minutes proved deadly to the Wildcats. Eastern convert­ ed 14 out of 19 in the last six and a half minutes of the game. Big scorers: in the game were Eastern's , Cox' with 22 points, Kevin Campbell with 23 points and Alaniva with 14 points. High scorers for the Wildcats were Olzendum, 17 and Dave Oliver, 21. Gooden and Olzendum both fouled out. Central had seven straight fouls near the end of the game which ended with Randy Sheriff making a reverse lay-up. This loss put Central two games behind Eastern Washington and one game behind Oregon Tech. Two home games are scheduled this weekend Friday night against Simon Fraser and Satur­ day against Eastern Oregon. meet at Seattle U The women's gymnastic team at Central was defeated by the University of British Columbia and Seattle University in a meet at Seattle U last weekend. The University of British Co­ lumbia won the meet with 83 points while Seattle U placed second with 75.7 and Central third with 70.7 points. Jane Moser placed fifth in the all-around with 24.35 points while Jennifer Diachun from the U of British Columbia won the title with 36.8 points and Monica Brown of Seattle U placed second with 26.75.

Tina LaRoque placed third in vaulting with 7.35 points with Diachun winning the event with 9.15. Andi Carton came in fourth on the uneven bars with 5.8 points while Diachun won the even with 9.15. "I think we kind of got off to a bad start," said head coach Deloris Johns. "Carton hurt her knee on the dismount from the uneven bars and had to be scratched from the rest of the events. "We didn't perform quite as sharply against Seattle U as the week before. Seattle U performed better than the week before as the home advantage showed up in the meet." The team will be competing against Eastern and the UW at Eastern on Saturday. "Both schools have very strong teams," said Johns. "The teams that we meet from now on are pretty tough teams and we will have to work hard. "I would like to see the girls improve their individual scores in their events as most of them have not hit a solid routine in their events. Improvement can be made." Swimmers win Invitational Central's women's swim team won the Central Invitational and lost to PLU last weekend. The 'Cats defeated Highline CC 82-57, Eastern 102.5-35.5, Whit- worth 119-17, Western 126-7 and Seattle University 116-1$ to take first place in the meet.

"The meet went down to the third from the last event before PLU beat us, said Mark Morrill, head coach. "It was a lot better meet than the last time we went against them. / "PLU is a very good team, losing only to UW during the season. We have had a very good dual meet season and I hope that we can improve our 9-5 win-loss record before the end of the season."
Andy Kiss ling appointed sports head Andy Kissling, a mass media junior, has taken over as sports editor for the CRIER. Kissling, a Carroll High graduate from Yakima, has new plans for the sports section. "I will be working on feature stories every week. I hope to bring out a different side to sports activities that deals with Central. I want to look at people we don't see and talk to people we never hear from," he said. Kissling also said that he would like some serious input from the students about the sports section.

Against Oregon State, Central had difficulty running its offense and the score was tied 18-18 at half-time. Central came back in the second half to go ahead 28-20 during the first six minutes, of the half and never had any more trouble during the rest of the game. Kim Grant led Central's scoring with 11 points and Sheryl Ferger- an popped in eight points. Grant and Cheryl Mercier each brought down eight rebounds. In the game against Oregon College, Central played a fine first half leading by 13 points with eight minutes left in the half and led 37-31 at half-time. "During the second half we continued with our. person-to- person defense," said Pat Lacey, head coach. "We had some good steals, but we could not put the ball in the bucket during the second half." The last four - minutes of the second half Oregon College caught up and the game continued with free throws back and forth. Centralhad three turnovers in the last three minutes of the game and couldn't get back into the game. Colleen Hall scored 17 points for Central, Fergeran had 14 and Mercier put in nine points. Fergeran brought down 12 re­ bounds and Hall grabbed 11. "It was a real fine game," said Lacey.

Mercier led Central's scoring with 11 points while Fergeran, Hall and Margina Young had 10. Grants-scored nine points and Vickie Mathews had eight. "We had real good scoring from the team," said Lacey. "We finally put it together. "SPC played a full court press most of the game and we had some trouble with it. We played a-zone . defense and that helped to contain them." The team will be playing at home against Western tomorrow 5:15 pm.

Can't help team Willie Guy red-shirts year WPIMI S8K» ||§|§| ^m by Andy Kissling A former class AA two-time state champion from Sunnyside, and EvCo champion at Central, has been red-shirting. Willie Guy is sitting out this season to improve his academic standing. Last year, Guy was the EvCo champion at 118 pounds. Willie was also seeded fifth in the NAIA/National championships in Sioux City, Iowa. The loss of the junior wrestler from Sunnyside is certainly bad for this year's mat squad. The loss of a champion-class grappler such as Willie, can't help the team. As a red shirt, Guy works out regularly with the team. He stays in shape, learns new moves and for all purposes is part of the team. The only hitch is that Willie can't compete in school matches. Is Guy bitter? "Not at all! We have an excellent program here. We are very successful. I also think our coach is a fine man. Everybody enjoys being around him. I'm just happy to be with the team." Last year's 118-pound champion works out two to four hours a day with no satisfaction of wrestling in matches. But look out for Willie Guy next year-he should be ready.

Frederick will be looking to Jim Busey, a 5-9 senior from Naches, at third base and pitchers Tom Boruff, a 6-3 junior from Ephrata, and Todd Wyckoff, a 6-3 senior from Kelso, for playing leadership after losing 17 of 22 lettermen to graduation. Busey has been the all-district selection at his position for two previous seasons and was the 1974 district home-run champion with 13 round-trippers. "Our pitching," stated Freder­ ick, "could be a strength in the program and will have to be good if we are going to be competitive in the Evergreen Conference and District 1 races." Todd Wyckoff was 5-0 last year and Tom Boruff was 4-1 before suffering injuries and accounted for nine of 25 season victories between them. Sophomore left-handers Jim Page of Yakima and Kevin Zylstra of Chehalis and right-hander Mike Crandall, a junior transfer from Edmonds Community College, are expected to round out the starting pitching rotation, according to Frederick. The coach will emphasize condi­ tioning and flexibility for the pitching staff and hitting for the rest of the team in evaluating the athletes for the initial squad- trimming in three weeks. "The talent is definitely there, but I look at the lack of familiarity between the players and our overall lack of playing time to­ gether as weaknesses," the coach said. The Wildcats will be preparing for a Central-hosted tournament March 20-22 involving Eastern, Seattle U, the U of W and Whitworth in Moses Lake and Ephrata to open the season. Playing 11 games in six days to open the season, the Wildcats host Bellevue Community College in a single game in Ellensburg and doubleheaders with the U of Idaho in Moscow and Ellensburg through March 25. "I would look," he continued, "to go at least 6-5 in those opening games. We must remember that how we do in the conference does not indicate our placement in the District 1 race although it would be nice to start the season with two conference victories." rung Feb. 7&8 - two # 5's for price of 1 Mexican/American & orders to go open Tues.-Sun. 11am-9pm 407 So.
