Page 13 C.W.U., Ellensburg, Wa., July 13,1978 Vol. 51, No. 24 BY LES FITZPATRICK * The one percent solution does not include the use of drugs, rather it concerns the first fever state-wide Transcendental Medita- « tion campaign in Washington. State. According to the four executive governors of the T.M. movement * in Ellensburg, the one percent solution means raising the level of meditators in a given area to one percent, in order to achieve an Stlfeal or "model society." —- "In 1,100 city-wide studies,** said Executive Governor Paul Corazza, "it's been found that when the "-•* number of meditators reaches one percent of the population of a city, such things as crime, accidents and sickness go down." * On the basis of this study, executive governors, or teachers, of the T.M. program were "called" to 60 cities in Washington State * and Rhode Island and 13 provinces around the world by their leader and T.M. founder Maharashi , Mahesh Yogi. Their purpose is to show that when one percent or more of a given population meditates, the ? positive effects of tins meditation is felt throughout the whole society. Corazza said that these positive * effects include reductions in crime and accident rates, reductions in drug & alcohol use and even improvements in the weather. * Corazzo explained that, "Pro­ found incidents—weather, crime and accidents are unpleasant effects of whole systems of groups * violating nature's laws ... It's just the natural law that for every action there's a reaction." For the past month the four * executive governors in Ellens­ burg have conducted interviews with the police chief, the mayor, jcity council members and several other city leaders. Executive Governor Dennis O'Leary said, "We're going around •to all the different leaders to assess what they feel are problem areas in society and what it would take to convince them that the * campaign is being successful in solving these problen^g and estab­ lishing positive ideal trends.1* 0*Leary noted that once Ellens- burg's level of meditation has reached one percent or more, post-studies will be done over the next several months to determine " whether the campaign has been successful. The T.M. group hopes, through future reductions in EUensburg's crime and accident rates, and through improvements in other problem areas mentioned by city leaders, to prove that these improvements are not accidental but actually a result of the increased number of meditators. ' T.M. teacher Jim Stone says that T.M. "is not religion or science, it is simply an individual expanding his own level of consciousness." Learning the Transcendental -Meditation Technique^n^blVeV seven steps. The first and second steps include two free introduc­ tory lectures in which T.M. is explained. The third step involves a personal interview in which interested persons fill out an application form to begin four two-hour days of personal instruc­ tion on a one-to-one baas. It is recommended that T.M. students abstain from alcohol and other "recreational" drugs for 15 days prior to the fourth step of * T.M. instruction, in order to have a completely clear and receptive Progress made mind. The fourth through seventh steps include learning the actual meditating technique and learning what to expect when meditating. O'Leary said that, "Everyone can do it. Anyone who has the ability to think can meditate." After the student is given the T.M. technique, the teacher schedules follow-up meetings to make sure that the meditator is following the technique properly. . There is a fee for learning the T.Mr*tecKnique but Executive Governor Howard Judge noted that the T.M. program is a non-profit organization with all the proceeds going to Maharashi Mahesh Yogi to invest in program expansion. Judge also said that the fee includes a lifetime membership in the T.M. program. Concerning the credibility of the T.M. program, O'Leary said, "We're staking a reputation that's been built very solidly for 20 years ... We're going full out and promising a society with no mistakes, no problems." (Continued on urn 2) Invitation to disaster A walk on the Milwaukee Railroad tracks running through the Central campus shows many sections of track in dubious repair. This picture shows a burnt out tie with the spikes holding the tie to the rail in disrepair. Many spikes on this section of track running between D Street and the Walnut Street Mall can be pulled out of the ground by hand. In other places, spikes are, missing. This section runs past the parking lot B and is 400 yards from Hertz Hall. All rail traffic through campus is freight. According to a Milwaukee Railroad spokesman, quoted in the May 18th issue of the CRIER, the bankrupt railroad handles about 1,800 types of cargo termed hazardous material. Age discrimination fought BY PAT HADALLER Of the 200 million people in the United States, 22 million of them are 65 or older and are classified as elderly. When one tries to stop that many people from being produc­ tive by forcing them to retire, there is bound to be some protest. Protesting such as this has been going on for a number of years. But, lately the elderly have been organizing their efforts into, movements to counteract the * oppression of the elderly. There are even classes offered at Central on the subject of aging in fact, one can major in a program entitled Studies Toward Aging and Retirement {S.T.A.R.). It is an interdepartmental program preparing students to work for and with older people in a variety of situations. Students who choose to get a minor or a major in this field have career opportunities in government, business, community education, senior citizens pro­ grams, nursing homes, hospitals, counseling, and a number of other fields. One can see progress being made by organized "65 and over" groups. The executive director of the nation's two largest organiza­ tions for retired persons spoke just one year ago before a group of 2,000 elderly and pledged that the group's 10 million members would , fight to abolish forced retirement. Earlier this year forced retirement was wiped out in many areas. Executive Director Harriet Mil­ ler also said, "And we will conduct a more intensified campaign to end other forms of age discrimination in employment, credit, housing, and every other field." As more and more influential people become elderly, and ex­ press their opposition to the discrimination against the elderly, the group as a whole has more power. George Burns, for example, who just starred in the successful movie Oh, God! at age 80, says retirement at 65 is mentally harmful. As Burns puts it, "When a company retires a man at age 65 and gives him a gold watch, he should sell the watch and go to work for someone else. "If a person keeps in good condition he often is sharper at 65 than he was at 40. Many of our most brilliant people- have done their best work after age 65." People express their opinions on the subject of aging in many different ways. A popular method used by media people is to write comics. An example of such a comic showed a secretary answer­ ing the phone in the middle of a group of elderly people having a party. Tm sorry but he's in conference with his mandatory retirement party." Most people, as they reach the age of 40, start feeling the pressures of old age creeping up on them. They start hearing those jokes about middle age, that they never really listened to in the past. There are increasingly more and more elderly people going back to college. They are doing every­ thing from starting or finishing a bachelor's degree to working on a doctorate. The summer quarter is attended by many more elderly people than is the regular school year, the reason being many of them are teachers. Just 15 credits can enhance a teacher's pay by hundreds of dollars' per year, by putting them in a higher pay schedule. Others are going to college to satisfy their curiosity, while some are still looking for a career. To accommodate the influx of elderly people attending college, Central is offering a Senior Scholar in Residence Program. Senior citizens who engage in this program, can, besides their aca­ demic work, become involved in the recreational activities and contribute to the cultural life at Central. As the life .expectancy of the average American increases, the role senior citizens play will become increasingly significant.
Pkge 2 CAMPUS CRIER JULY 13, 1978 s' News Notes SALARY INEQUITIES A total of thirty-four faculty members received salary adjustments to offset inequities, according to Dr. Bernard L. Martin, Dean of the School of Natural Sciences and Mathematics, who conducted a campus-wide survey in order to determine if there were pay adjustments needed. Academic Vice President Edward J. Harrington told the trustees at their last Board meeting (June 23)_ that "we are mandated by the federal government" to adjust inequities. He said that the salary adjustments are not merit increases. "It is simply equal pay for equal work," he told the trustees. The faculty members receiving adjustments are: Jan Boyungs, James Brennan, David Canzler, Lillian E. Canzler, Sherrie Chrysler, Makiko Doi, Lynn Dupin, Hda Easterling, Joan Fennelly, Lloyd Gabiel, Odette Golden, Darwin Goodey, Calvin Greatsinger, Edith Greatsinger, Ruth Hartman, Otto Jakubek, Jennifer Jaques, Deloris Johns, Erlice Killorn, Corwin King, James Klahn, Mary Ellen Matson, Jo B. Mitchell, Frank Nelson, Robert Novak, John Pearson, Orval Putoff, Gertrude Rodine, Lana Jo Sharpe, Robert Silver, Roger Stewart, John Utzinger, Madge Young and Raymond Wheeler. PHI KAPPA PHI PRESIDENT Thomas Blanton, assistant professor of English, has been elected president of Central's chapter of Phi Kappa Phi. The honor society of Phi Kappa Phi is a national organization 'founded in 1897 and has as its primary objective the recognition and encouragement of superior scholarship in all academic disciplines. Prof. Blanton is a 1952 graduate of Kent-Meridian High School and was elected to Phi Kappa Phi upon graduation from W.S.U, Before joining the Central faculty in 1967, he taught at W.S.1J.,' Indiana University, Indiana State University and Bellarmine College in Louisville. Other newly elected officers include, Vice President Robert Benton, professor of English Secretary Gloria Goedecke, wife of Prof. Robert Goedecke, professor of Philosophy and Treasurer Walter Emken, associate professor of Chemistry. The new officers will serve during the 1978-79 academic year. Brooks reviews past NORTHWEST CENTER PRESCHOOL FOOD PROGRAM Seattle's Northwest Center for the Retarded has added a new dimension to its Developmental Pre-School. With the finftn«»ifll support of the United States Department of Agriculture's Food and Nutrition Service, the program will subsidize meal supplements to children meeting approved eligibility criteria. Supplements are provided without regard to race, color, or national origin. Twenty children are currently served in Northwest Center's Pre-School which provides services to developmentally disabled children, ages 6 months to 3 years. The operating hours of Northwest Center's Pre-School are from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. daily. The program is open Monday through Friday and operates 51 weeks each year. Children are referred to the agency primarily from the medical community. Individual prescriptive programs are then developed for each child with input from parents, teachers, therapists, and nurse. Progress is monitored on an ongoing basis in the areas of educational, social, and physical activities.

Brooks, president of Central Washington University for the past 17 years, will step down from his post. "Let me invite you to join me ... in building an outstanding institu­ tion," said Brooks at his inaugura­ tion August 1, 1961. Today, sitting in his Barge Hall office, Brooks summarizes those past 17 years. "Being a task-oriented person I cannot help but feel that we have accomplished what we have set out to do. We did build a good faculty and a good administration. "The most important thing that I can relate to," continued Brooks, "is the constant improvement of personnel who are associated with 1 the school. This has been the . highlight for me—the significant improvement and quality of the faculty. But not only the faculty this includes the administrators and the civil service staff. I believe that there are a great number of highly qualified people here at Central—more highly qualified people than most rea­ lize. "Looking back over the years, our institution has gone through' many changes both in academic programs and services. It has Farmers' Market H weekends in Ellensburg are getting a little dull and you're tired of river floating—Moses Lake has something exciting to offer you. Every Saturday through August, a farmers' market will offer fresh fruits, vegetables, crafts and entertainment. The market is located at Dogwood Park on Third Avenue. Need a snag mender? Perhaps goose feather pillows are more to your liking. There are also hand-carved wood toys, home­ made German-style noodles, made- to-order stainless steel knives and quill jewelry—the list is almost endless. According to market coordina­ tor Brenda Teats, the market also offers wide varieties of eptertain- ment including a puppet show this Saturday presented by the Bath­ tub Theatre of Seattle. About 35 vendors are expected to participate in the weekly program with hours from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Space is still available to prospective merchants with a $3 daily charge. Moses Lake is located east of Ellensburg on Interstate 5—a mere hour & a half drive. MILLS IS ADDLE W TOGS been and still is an excellent teacher education institution. We have attempted to build up the arts and sciences as support programs for our teacher educa­ tion program. "Since 1968 we "have tried to build diversity on that basis through programs that bridge across many of the disciplines, through programs such as Law & Justice and Allied Health. And I feel that we have had success in that diversification." , Under Brooks' administration the campus has grown from an enrollment of 2,000 students in 1961 to over 7,500 in 1977. More than half the buildings on the 350-acre campus were constructed under his administration. "The transformation over to university status last fall was just sort of an extra accomplishment," he added. "We have now finished a stage in our history and what the next stage wiU bring will be determined on what we do in the near future," he continued.. As for Brooks'own plans: "I will be on leave for a year after September 1. I plan to spend a considerable amount of time at the University of Washington trying to get up to speed in geography." Brooks received both his M. A. and Ph.D. in geography from the U.W. Brooks' family will remain. in Ellensburg. They will be building a home along the Yakima River where they purchased some property several years ago. When asked whether he would seek another presidency, Brooks replied, "I have had a good long turn at being a president and I have no ego need to be one again. If an opportunity should arise where I- could take a job as president I'd want it to be. at a school with a different scholastic emphasis from that of Central. Perhaps something along the line of a polytechnical school. But I'd not accept a presidency unless it offered a challenge to grow and develop." Following his refresher course at the U.W., Brooks tentatively plans to return to teach in the geography department at Cen­ tral, a position he once held in 1952. No summer contract BYPATHADALLER Many students attending Cen­ tral during the regular school year are not aware that they don't get to keep their regular housing rates during the summer quarter. "I do not see why they don't know that summer quarter is not in their contract. That is one of the first conditions stated on the contract," stated Jim Hollister, housing director. It is not the freshmen and sophomore students who are expressing the concern. It is the juniors and seniors who get to keep their first-year rates as long as they remain at Central, who are complaining. They discover, if they go to summer school, that they do not get to keep their old rates. The reason they do not know that their contract doesn't apply to summer quarter is because they have not looked at their contract for a couple of years. Is it fair that'a senior who is on 1974-75 rates be charged almost $200 more for summer quarter than for spring quarter? Hollister said, "What you are asking for, is a four-quarter contract. It would seem ridiculous to most of the students to ask them to sign a contract for four quarters, when they know they are going to be here for only three. "The student housing contract is an important document to lis. It is .a legal agreement that the student 4th & Main Straw Hats from $4.95 to $20.00 Sizes 6 1/8 to 7 3/4 962-2312 _will remain in college housing for the academic year or pay an added fee if he decides to break his contract." The rapid rate of inflation along with the changing number of students attending Central forced the Housing Office to drop the new contracts at the end of each academic year. This one-year contract ruling went into effect at the beginning of fall quarter, 1976. But, summer quarter has been a separate entity from the regular academic year for as- long as * anyone on campus can remember. According to Hollister, it is very difficult to calculate the number of students that will attend summer school. Hollister said, "You are asking me to make a contract with 1,800 students, of which 1,600 will break it. "The unpredictable number of students that we receive in the residence halls during the sum­ mer makes it very difficult to determine the price level at which ,to set the rate for four quarters." Has Central ever had a four-quarter contract? "No, replied Hollister. "We have never instituted a housing contract which would last for four quarters,. but many students found it too difficult to understand." Another complication which Hollister spoke of, for establishing a four-quarter contract, is that the fiscal year begins July 1. The new rates would have to be begun between spring and summer quarters. Since very few students remain on campus through the summer, only a few would have such a contract. Will there ever be a contract which runs through the summer? "Summer quarter is a totally different breed of cat," concluded Hollister, "and it seems highly unlikely." [ Meditation 1 (Cont. from page 1) The first introductory lecture took place last Tuesday. However, lectures will be held throughout' the summer until mid-September, including an introductory lecture next Tuesday at 7:30 p.m. at Community Savings & Loan. On August 2, Dr. Candice Borland is tentatively scheduled to speak in Ellensburg. Dr. Borland, considered a pioneer of the T.M. movement, is one of the two people to initiate the original one percent Transcendental Medita­ tion study.
JULY 13, 1978 CAMPUS CRIER Page 3 Beware of Rattlers BY SARAH LeCOMPTE • Central Washington is rattle­ snake country. No doubt all have heard snake anecdotes or seen warning signs on trails and € campgrounds. Fear of rattlesnakes can make even the most experienced hiker jumpy, but rattlesnake-phobia is • no reason to stay indoors as they are fairly easy to identify and avoid. The Northern Pacific Rattle- • f snake or Crotalis Viridls oreganus, a sub-species of the Prairie Rattler, is the only species of . rattlesnake found in Washington State. -This snake, which rarely reaches three feet in length, is considered to have a relatively m placid disposition. Rattlesnakes are cold-blooded reptiles and their activities depend on the climate. Many people • mistakenly believe that rattle­ snakes are most active in hot weather. Actually rattlers are most active in moderate temper- • atures, spending hot days in the shade, under a rock or down a ' hole. At this time of year numerous snakes are found in the • foothills and along the Yakima River. Rattlesnakes are deaf but sense the presence of their prey t through ground vibrations and use of unique radiation receptors located between the eye and nostril. • When threatened, rattlers usu­ ally make their presence known by coiling and shaking their rattles. The unmistakable sound of the Prattle can be heard up to 100 feet away. Rattlesnakes flee more often than fight but when a defensive attack becomes necessary, the snake raises the forepart of its body in an S-sh&ped curve and thrusts itselt^at the intruder. At the end of this strike the rattlesnake opens its mouth and plunges its long, curved fangs into the victim by force of the strike or by biting. The toxic venom can kill a small animal almost immediate­ ly. Rattlesnakes can strike without coiling and do not always rattle before striking. Every year, approximately 1,000 rattlesnake bites are report­ ed in the United States with around 20 deaths occurring from the toxic snake venom. In the Ellensburg area only around four snakebite-cases have been report­ ed in the last ten years. Studies show that most victims are bitten while picking up an object such as firewood, rocks, flowers or berries, or when climbing rocks. A few tips for preventing rattle­ snake bites include the following: don't lift a stone, log, plank or other object with your hands, use a stick or booted foot. When walking in grass or among bushes, keep a sharp lookout for rattlesnakes and stay away from rocky areas. If climbing among rocks, don't put a hand or foot in a spot which can't be seen. Thick boots and heavy trousers give added protection against a possi­ ble snakebite. - Avoid handling dead rattle­ snakes as the venom is retained in the fangs even after the snake has died. Don't chase rattlers into a hole or grab at the rattle as they are capable of turning swiftly and biting. If the hissing sound of a rattle is - heard, locate where the snake is and then carefully move away. Many snakebites occur when an alarmed person runs or falls into the snake. A rattlesnake bite causes intense pain, bleeding and swelling at the location of the wound. It's best to keep the infected area as immobile as possible. The approved treatment for snakebites is an injection of anti-venom made from the blood of horses. If immediate treatment is. not avaUable a tourniquet should be applied above the wound (loosened every 15 minutes) and the venom sucked out. The legendary cure of the old west—a shot of whiskey—is not an effective or recommended snake­ bite remedy. Snakebite kits are available for under five dollars and should be carried by campers, hikers and sportsmen when in rattlesnake country. # CROTALIS VIRIDIS OREGANUS-Known as The North Pacific Rattlesnake, this is the only species of rattler found in Washington. Enrollment figures announced Summer session enrollment is expected to stay the same as last year's according to a University spokesman.. With students still to register for second session classes^ head- count enrollment stands at 2,442 according to Registrar Louis Bovos. Total, student enrollment for summer session is expected to reach 3,500 when final tabulations are completed involving both on- and off-campus students. Central is offering more than 150 classes off-campus this summer which will add to the total enrollment figures, said off-campus officials. Last summer's headcount enroll­ ment was 3,690 students which generated 2,641 full-time equiva­ lent units. F.T.E. units are computed by taking the under­ graduate student credit hours and dividing by 15, plus taking the number of graduate students credit hours and dividing by 10. "We expect a large number of graduate students this summer as always," said Bovos. So far this summer Central has generated 27,713 credit hours, however the F.T.E. computation will not be made until registration is complete. The Admissions Office reports that applications for fall quarter enroUment are still runhing ahead of last year's. Since Central began admissions efforts in December, freshman applications have been 10 to 15 percent ahead of previous years. "Now we are running 15 percent ahead on freshman applications," said Lonald L. Bridges, Director of Admissions, "which is approxi­ mately 320 students more than last year." Of the number of students applying for freshman enrollment, none have withdrawn their depos­ its, admissions reports indicate. Other areas of admissions, Bridges reports, are holding even or ahead of last year. \ ^ WE DELIVER . 925-1111 925-2222 • 5 TILL CLOSING DAllY !

In the summer, teachers who graduated from Central return to work on their Fifth Year certifi­ cates or take special educational workshops. At no other time of the year is it so obvious that Central's major work is the training of teachers. From its founding in 1891 as Washington State Normal School, this institution has produced thousands of qualified teachers for both elementary and secondary schools. In the 1890's the new teachers were destined to fill classroom positions in the new and expand­ ing towns of the new state. Just having acquired a railroad connec­ tion to the east, and with an influx of new residents, Washington wanted to become a great state. Education was needed for prog­ ress and the state wanted the best teachers available. Throughout the years, Central Young lushes There issue under vote.

The deviants were not to coffee houses, revolutionary group be put out, however, and their office complexes, and guerrilla petition has been seen in res- thinktanks. Certain organizations are planning strategy for a take over of our way of life, and this issue is the first step. Oh, sure, they're going through all the legal processes (petitions now, with a hope to get the issue on the ballot this fall), but when the issue finally becomes accepted into the main- taurants, bars, and taverns all over the state. It's too late to all go out and write fictitious names on the petitions, rendering them invalid, but we can all start a driye to keep this warped legislation from passing. Think about it.

Even to the methods and has worked closely with school districts to achieve the goals of quality education. It has also produced a number of very distinguished nationally-known ed­ ucators. It has also turned out some bad teachers along with the good ones which have distin­ guished Central's reputation. Every teacher should be a good teacher. This is a goal which can and should be reached, there is no room for mediocrity when the lives of children are. entrusted to a person for 180 days a year. Teachers mold these children and only the best sculptors should be hired. Parents should demand and expect the best from their children's teachers. An average, unintelligent teacher tends to develop an uninspired child. Unfortunately, many of the Central students entering the education department are not the intellectually-gifted. Many are average, uninspired people who not be a good teacher. The education department has one of the highest grade-points in the university. This should be lowered to correspond to reality. Another area where the educa­ tion department falls down is the education degree. Courses in a - person's major field are slighted in favor of education courses.

JULY 13, 1978 CAMPUS CRIER mrnmmmmmmmmmrnmmmmsmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Letters to the Editor Relationship not Page 5 DEAR EDITOR: As a born-again Christian I ^ address this letter to those in Churches and outside who have been where the Gospel message was so low-toned that they have 9 completely missed it. . "I attend Church regularly," "I feel I am a good person," "I believe there is a God." These and more are comments that come from some who identify themselves as Chris­ tians and as people whose destiny is heaven. However, God's word is • clear that it is not by works or legalism that we will see the Kingdom of Heaven. Salvation is not an accumulation of the things •. we have done or the kind of life we have led. It is only by God's grace that we can be saved. In other words, it is a gift to be received by • faith. .Grace would not be grace if it could be earned. We can spend many years inside the physical structure of the Church and be missing the Salvation message. It is not just going to Church, singing in the v choir and doing what you feel constitutes being a good person. Many can compare their life with those around them and surmise • they are goGd people. It is only when we humble ourselves before God and personally invite Jesus Christ into our lives as Lord and Savior that we are born-again people. It is a relationship with a living God, a new life. It must be a conscious commitment between the individual and God. This is only the beginning but we must start with first things first. One need not completely • understand God, but accept Him personally for who He is. God will then reveal Himself through' His written Word and take over one's" • life as they are able to relinquish it to Him. DIANE McMEEKEV #Why »print filler? DEAR EDITOR: , It appears the CAMPUS CRIER has struck a blow for waste, not of the nuclear form, but of the undaunted and unequivocal form of "poor filler." The waste i am referring to is that of "Fun with Jim" a form of cartoonism that even the so-called under­ ground newspapers would reject as trash, much less use as a substitute for the good old Sears Catalog in outhouses. If the CRIER wanted trash, I'm sure the Ellensburg Sanitation Department could have provided plenty, far funnier than the piece on page 6 of the previous issue. Whatever possessed the CRIER to run such filler? I can't imagine, but the space would have been better utilized by leaying it blank with the headline: GROCERY LIST. Perhaps the best comment I can offer on this cartoon and poor choice of filler is offered by the cartoon itself I refer you to the last block in the lower right hand corner. Enough said. WENDY S. PENNELL Non-smokers have rights DEAR EDITOR: I have long mulled over the subject of the rights of smokers and non-smokers. As it involves individual rights I feel it is important to discuss. Whenever two individual rights conflict, the one which is deemed less detri­ mental must take precedence over the other. A person's right to free speech ends when he yells "fire" in a theater. A person's right to bear arms is limited in many ways. When a smoker exercises his Ellcntburc s Bicycle Shop Tmra t Nupoit B-r*ci« • Rep*«i • Sa« • Oowd Mo«d*v'i - 30?

In this case, two individual rights conflict. I feel the non-smoker's right must take precedence over the smoker's rights. Smoking is known to be a public health problem. Alcohol shares the same distinction. However, the manufacturing, distribution, selling and consumption of alcohol is closely regulated by the government. Certain places are designated as being legal to consume alcohol. I feel the smoking of cigarettes should be closely regulated. If smoking is considered to be a public health hazard, then it should be banned from public places. Smokers still retain the right to smoke, but not to the point of eliminating the non-smoker's right to breathe clean air. I realize the regulating of smoking in public places would be costly. However, social values change. I can see today in many public places where people regu­ late the situation by the use of signs and simply asking people not to smoke. The cost is negligible. We are a republic based on the rights of the individual. However, certain rights must be given way to the health of the society as a whole. The smoker must realize that when smoking in public places, he is not only hurting himself, but the people around him as well. CRAIG WILSON Keep The Faith Rev. Don Cautrhev T.S. Eliot suggested that the world will end with a whimper, not a bang. When one looks at the decade of the 70's, it is hard not to feel that the end is nearer than one would hope. For this decade has been marked by a nearly total dedication to illusion and blindness to reality. It is the age of nostalgia. We would rather look backwards to some good old golden days than admit that this is an age of crises. Nostalgia is a natural substitute to cultural creativity, but a dangerous one. Not only are we unwilling to look at our own world and time, when we look backward we see only what we want to see. That the 70's would want to repeat the 50's at all seems strange to me, a child of the 50's. But since we are only interested in illusion, the 50's are as ripe for distortion and romanticization as any other age. The 70's have given us disco, and the hero of disco is John Travolta. Disco music is a highly commercialized and overproduced commodity. It has none of the rough originality of the pop music of the 50's'and none of the life and presence of the dance concerts of the 60's. Record companies like disco because it can be produced by formula, without any dependence on the creative genius of the musicians. Its glamor is in technology, not in art, and as such it becomes art. That is, disco is an honest presentation of the hollowness of the 70's because it is an artificial, anti-artist music. As music it is incredibly dull. As entertainment it is as formulized as a Playboy centerfold or the political rhetoric which continues to grind out the same absurdities. The formulae allow us to fantasize the reality we would prefer. Travolta allows us to bring back the ghosT of Elvis Presley. Presley was an ordinary singer who sang other people's music. His significance was that he was the first white boy to enjoy his pelvis in public, and in the 50's that was very revolutionary. Travolta dances well, acts better and sings worse than Presley, but there are a thousand creative artists who are better. The problem with them is that they challenge us to see them as here andnow. In the 50's the music world was also being challenged by rhythm and blues. The Beatles and Tile Stones let Americans know that Little Richard, Fats Domino and Ray Charles were not mere pop idols. Disco is based on a "Black sound," totally devoid of soul. Its musical whimper is an analog to the politics of "benign neglect" & the new cold war. The beat goes on, but it and the tune are deadly H.A.S.H. A JEANS ARRIVING DAILY Downtown Ellensburg
CAMPUS CRIER JULY 13, 1978 Business Week \ For Health's Sake M. R. Golden Fasting has been regarded as one of the most dependable curative and rejuvenative measures known throughout the long| medical history of the human race. Fasting means a total or partial abstinence from food or water I for any length of time and for any of a variety of reasons. Among the types of fasts are fruit fasts, or elimination of fruit, and vegetable fasts, or abstinence from vegetables. These are recognized forms of fasting, yet the most common and often practiced form is total abstinence from.all foods, but not liquids. Unfortunately, many individuals who undertake a fast know little if anything about fasting and often cause themselves unnecessary side effects. Fasting, in itself, is not a cure for any disease or ailment. Rather, it allows the body full range and scope to fulfill its self-healing, self-repairing, self-rejuvenating functions | to the best advantage. Healing is an internal biological function. Fasting allows one's I system a physiological rest and permits the organism to become 100 percent efficient in healing itself. Body tissues, then, have a| chance to repair the damage caused by a constant diet of defective foods and excessive quantities of foods, which cause all organs to weaken. As there is no further intake of food while fasting, the organs' work is reduced to the lowest possible minimum. A normalization of nutrient assimilation occurs, enabling the system] to better utilize its food stores. During-a prolonged fast (after three days), the body will live onl its own substance. When it is deprived of the needed nutrition, it will burn and digest its own tissues by the process of autolysis (the process of digestion of foods by ferments and enzymes generated] by the body cells). Thi? will not be carried out indiscriminate-] ly, though. The body will first decompose and burn those cells tissues which are diseased, damaged, aging or dead, along with| tumors, abcesses and fat_deposits. One's system can store a considerable amount of food to be used I as nutritive matter over an extended period of time. From the | beginning of every fast, the system begins to nourish and feed itself upon such stored reserves. The body loses weight in the I form of fat, muscle, tissue, blood and water. Such vital organs as the heart, brain, spinal cord, nerves, teeth and bones are well I nourished while fasting with little if any loss of effectiveness. During this "refuse disposal", the process of elimination of dead & dying cells is expedited and the building of new, healthy cells is stimulated and accelerated. The reason for this growth (even though little or no nourishment is supplied), is that the amino acids, the building blocks of proteins (which are needed for cell building), are not wasted, but are resynthesized from the decomposing cells and re-used. At the same time, the toxic waste products which interfere with the nourishment of the cells are effectively eliminated and the normal metabolic rate and cell oxygenation are restored. Thus the body is using and re-using the same proteins and other nutrients over & over where they are needed. , The eliminative and cleansing capacity of the eliminative organs—lungs, liver, kidneys, and skin—is greatly increased, and] masses of accumulated metabolic wastes and toxins are expelled. For example, during fasting the concentration of toxins in the j urine can be ten times higher than normal. This is due to the fact that the eliminative organs are relieved from the usual burden of digesting foods and eliminating the resultant wastes, and can concentrate on the cleansing of old, accumulated wastes and toxins | (such as uric acid and purines) from the tissues. Fasting affords a physiological rest to the digestive, assimila-1 tive and protective body organs. Following a fast, the digestion of food and the utilization of nutrients is greatly improved, and sluggishness and further waste retention is prevented. The rejuvenated cells are thus supplied with nutrients and oxygen | more effectively. In general, fasting exerts a normalizing, stabilizing and revivifying effect on all the vital physiological, nervous and mental functions. The nervous system is re-energized, mental powers are ] improved, glandular chemistry & hormonal secretions are stimulated, and biochemical & mineral balance in the tissues is normalized. The rejuvenating effect upon the skin in particular is important. Lines and wrinkles become less apparent, and blotches, discoloration and pimples tend to disappear. The skin should become more youthful and acquire a better color & texture. | Numerous statistical reports on the curative benefits of fasting have shown a marked improvement or complete recovery in ailments such as high blood pressure, colitis, sinusitis, anemia, hemorrhoids, arthritis, bronchitis, kidney disease, benign tumor, heart disease, asthma, ulcers, goiter, pyorrhea, gallstones, cataracts, multiple sclerosis, cancer, and hay fever. Many other ailments have also shown improvement when treated with fasting. Fasting can and often does help the body rebuild itself, but it is not a cure-all, nor is it the only method whereby health can be restored, though it is one of the safest healing methods knoton to] medical s'cience. There are several different approaches to rebuilding health and overcoming disease—with proper nutrition being the first and most important step. The importance of the fast is in its speed and completeness by which an individual may regain health. If fasting is undertaken for prophylactic purposes, that is to I cleanse, regenerate and rejuvenate the body, 7-10 days of fasting | should be sufficient. The length of the therapeutic fast (varying | between 7-40 days), undertaken for the purpose of healing, should be determined by a physician or practitioner, who should I supervise the fast. If a proper, relaxed attitude during fasting is adopted, it can be a [time of rest, meditation and renewal of body, mind and spirit. Fasting should be understood for what it is: a means of I promoting the remedy of illness and the creation of health. It is not a method of maintaining health. Capitalismlives Central is presently the site of Washington State Business Week. This program, bringing high school students from around the state to campus to learn about American Business is sponsored by the Association of Washington Businesses, C.W.U. and the Office of the Superintendant of Public Instruction. Washington's Business Week, involving over 1,000 students in three one-week sessions of in­ tensive training between July 9-30 has become a model for similiar •sessions throughout the nation. The program first began at Central in 1976 with 300 people participating. Since that time, the program has tripled in size. Each student participating in the event received a scholarship from a business located in or near his/her home town. Over 890 different businesses contributed in excess of $100,000 in scholarship funds enabling the students and 116 teachers to attend the sessions. Sixty-four business men have also contributed their time and energy to help make the program a success. They serve as "company advisors" in dummy corporations established to teach the students the ins and outs of the free enterprise system. Each corporation faces problems similiar to those in real life. The companies must cope with govern­ ment regulations, competition from other companies & products and other facets of business. The weekly sessions will be composed of 20 companies with around 15 students in each. A company advisor meets with the company from 7:45 in the morning until 9 at night each day. The advisor leads the "mock" company through the trials and tribulations of a company devised, by a computer game plan, a fiercely competetive game designed to resemble the real thing. The advisors will also serve as role models for the students because the counselors come from a cross-section of the business world. Many own their own small businesses while others are executives from such nationally recognized companies as Boeing! Shell Oil and I.T.T.

Kicking off the first session, Bruce Joh.nson, President of Chem-Nuclear Systems of Bellevue and Chairman of the Association of Washington Busi­ nesses' Education Council spoke on the fruits of America's free enterprise system. Johnson noted that the United States, West Germany and Japan, operating under the free enter­ prise system, boast high standards of living anil individual freedom today. He said that England, on the other hand, went to a state-owner- ship/government enterprise sys­ tem after World War II and lost its position as a major world power. The connection between a free enterprise system, national wealth and personal freedom is no accident, according to Johnson, because in a free market, individuals choose, independently what will be produced, and the consumer chooses among a variety of goods aiid services, produced in surplus. Johnson said, if the game of redistribution of national wealth is played to perfection, "it leads to a deadly erosion of the free enterprise system and many of our personal freedoms, because the productive sector can no longer survive." After Johnson's speech, the Business Week students split into their different companies and began their long journey through the intricacies of the free market, facing the problems common to all businesses in the real world.

It also tells the student about the educational and training programs available to assist in the preparation for each field. A student is given, upon request, the name, address, and phone number of someone in the state, working in each occupation­ al area, who has consented to answer job-related questions when contacted. The W.O.I.S. is regularly updated in order to continually increase the number of career choices and training opportunities. Appointments should be made with the counseling secretary prior to using the computer in order to obtain advance informa­ tion and be assigned an advisor to answer questions and explain the workings of the system. The computer will not provide the answer to the often-pondered question "What do I want to be when I grow up?", but it can be a resource in helping each student weigh the choices and come to an ultimate decision. «•
JULY 13, 1978 CAMPUS CRIER Page 7 Children attend summer school M'M.k-i- m mm BY LORI GILLESPIE There is a brick building on campus, old and solid, with a five-foot high metal fence separa­ ting one side from the. rest of the university. Within the boundaries of this fence rests a variety of huge odd-shaped objects. Some look like they were constructed from a giant's discarded popsicle sticks, others appear to be modern works of art. Occasionally they are empty and silent, but often they echo laughter and joy as little children worm between the slats and climb amidst the crevices. The building is the Hebeler School and the obstruction-filled area is the playground. But what are children doing on a college campus these sunny mornings? They are taking part in a summer program offering a more relaxed continuation of school education, as well as providing some practical experience for the students training to be teachers.

It also wants to provide the participant with opportunities to live a productive and satisfying life within the university community.

The ton is funded by the sale of hunting and fishing licenses Operated by the Washington Smte Game Department and managed by Ken Hagan, the tfara^ raises 20,000 chukars and pheasants each year which are released in the wild in time for hunting season. Hagan said hunters bag around 500,000 game birds each year and tne game farm, along with seven others in the state, supply one-fifth of that ntmber actually. If there is a bad winter kill due to a hard, snowy winter, the farms will release more birds. The fall release program runs from October through January each year, ending with the close of hunting season. The Game Farm releases birds in th^Yakima^nd Kittitas Valleys, the Columbia Basin and as far north as Canada. Hagan said the farm releases birds in popular well-hunted areas and will tell hunters where if they inquire. He said the first releases of the season will occifi- the day" prior to the opening of hunting season since the department believes the birds will scatter out and not stay concentrated in.oie area if released earlier. In the spring, workers at the farm gather over 1,000 eggs daily from their 1,300 bird brood stocK. This stock is only kept one year and then the birds are released so eventually all birds at the farm are released in the wild. The eggs ai e put into the incubator and kept at 99 V2 degrees F. ^|jter tweMy-two days they are transferred for two days to a special hatching machine where the eggs can hatch comfortably with no harm to the chicks. Over 80 percent of the eggs gathered hatch. After the birds hatch, they ai£ put in social brooder houses for ten weeks and given intensive care. These houses hold 23,000 young chicks. Twenty thousand survive the season to be released in the fall. Hagan said the birds are nexfrplaced iireovered pens until they mature sufficiently to be placed in thi 60 acres of open fields at the farm. The birds are debeaked ever y 10 days so the birds won't peck at each other while confined 1 n close quarters. To prevent the birds from flying a vay when placed in the open fields, the farm's employees put a 1 ather strap called a brail on one wing of each bird. This prevei its the birds from spreading their wings and flying. The brail is removed four weeks prior to their release and the birds arf the n petlned. The farm plants wheat and other tall grasses in their fields to provide cover for the birds when the y scamper around. They are fed processed feed from specially d signed barrels placed in the fields. Employees regularly wStch 1 or predators such as weasels or hawks. Hawks hover around the eriphery of the farm and are constantly ready to pounce on the game birds. Hagan said a weasel can kill as many as 300 l^rds, so hg watches very carefully for them. When one invades the arm, he is live-trapped and released elsewhere. Disease also poses a problem for t le farm. The birds' health is watched constantly and the ch^karife^gl is medicated. Hagan said pheasants are hardier so they don't need medicated feed. Game farm personnel work clof ely with state and federal programs. Many farm workers come from work release and CETA programs. Juvenile offenders tlso vork^at the farm to work off some of their punishment. During the summer, the game dep artment stockpiles hay at the farm to use in winter for feeding ell. Hagan said this is usually done in the Ellensburg district in . jU.uson Canyon but during severe winters, other stations are e stablished. The farm is now involved in a project to encourage g ese, who normally nest along" the Columbia River, to use the Kit' itas Valley for nesting sites.

It is a warm sensitive story about the abominations of war and tragedy for all those involved in Vietnam. Hal Asby's direction of this film does the best job so far in recapping the repercussions of the Vietnam era, especially concerning what happens to the men who return.

"Coming Home" is at the Mercy Quad Theatres in the Yakima Valley Mall. The show is rated "R" and showtimes are at 7:34 and 10:02 p.m. Indonesian art Indonesian art ranging from carved tribal masks to contemp­ orary movie posters will be featured at the Ellensburg Com­ munity Gallery at 408Vz N. Pearl, upstairs, through July 29. Highlights of the show include handspun and handwoven sarongs from the various Indonesian islands, a Chinese bowl from the Ming dynasty found in Indonesia, and Balinese shadow puppets. All of these objects are from the collection of David Amdal. Community Gallery hours are from noon to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday. It's a'happenin' Jody Paigneaull I think it was Paul Revere (of The Raiders' notoriety) who gained his fame some years ago by riding naked through Ellensburg on a white stallion screaming at the top of his lungs, "The Ranch is back! The Ranch is back!" Contrary to popular belief, Paul is not dead, and his historic quotes are now more true than ever. There's been some really hot bands out there lately and last weekend's hand, Squire, was no exception. Squire, a five-piece rocker basfed out of Montana, displayed good instrumentation, lots of high energy, and fair-to-middlin' vocals. Most of the tunes they performed were rearranged slightly to accomodate the dancing audience, but they proved they could knock off some hard-to-dance to hard rock as well. Their talent was best showcased on the Styx songs ("Crystal Ball", "Miss America" and "The Grind Illusion" among them). They even did a little bit of Blue Oyster Cult, and that's something you don't see (or hear) every day, Chauncey. The principal weakness of the band was a lack of the proper equipment for the caliber of music they were dealing with (no talk box on Joe Walsh's "Rocky Mountain Way" and no echo-plex—a must on Styx' "Grand Illusion.") Still, they faked their way through pretty well, with few, if any, people seeming to notice the difference.^ There is another establishment in town featuring live rock music and you'll know when you're there, when you see the poster reading "I'd rather have a BOTTLE IN FRONT OF ME than a FRONTAL LOBOTOMY". If you're still not sure where you are then look for the Ellensburg U.S. #1 Potato sack (an unknown comic's delight) and a portrait of a distinguished looking gentleman hanging from the wall with steely bulging eyes and a hookah hose hanging from his lips. If the assorted Seattle Mariner schedules hanging from the walls don't tip you off, then forget it—you're either lost or in the twilight zoned outer limits. Just kidding, folks. Actually, you're in the place affectionately referred to as the Stone (or Cornerstone for the uninitiated). Knotz played down there-last weekend and playing down there this weekend will be the newly-formed supergroup Rico and the Torpedoes. So, don't let anyone tell you, even in culturally deprived E-burg, that "It's not a 'happenin'."

JULY 13, 1978 CAMPUS CRIER Page 11 The art of ballet Story by Ken Munsell Ballet, artistie expression in the form of movement, came to Ellensburg July 9th courtesy of the Western Ballet's production of the classic romantic ballet Giselle. The traveling group led by Sulpicio Wagner, has been performing Theiphile Gautier's 1841 masterpiece throughout the Pacific Northwest and California throughout the summer. i(v!o ^ner ^Wens^ stop is about halfway through the u to!?\ He said touring is exhilarating but it's hard to stay in the condition needed for dancing while traveling from city to city every day. A sparse but enthusiastic crowd watched the show, staged in McConnell Auditorium, last Sunday. After the performance, many members of the audience went on stage and backstage to talk with the friendly ballet troupe members. The Western Ballet is comprised mostly of young dancers touring to gain experience and to build their roles' portfolio. A cast member said the tour is good experience since it forces the participants to constantly practice and improve their art. The male and female leads were danced, however, by dancers who had long experience with ballet. Sulpicio Wagner has danced professionally for 10 years. The female lead, Peggy Davis, is also an experienced professional dancer. While in Ellensburg, cast member Holly Hamblen, took the opportunity to instruct some local young ballet students. The ballet company treated the audience, composed mainly of older Ellensburg residents, to an exquisite ballet telling the folk story of a young German girl from the Rhineland who falls in love with a peasant who is actually a disguised Prince. After she finds out about the prince's true identity, the girl, Giselle dies of a broken heart and her spirit roams restlessly through the forest. How Giselle's spirit finds peace and gains eternal rest forms the conclusion of the charming work. Sulpicio Wagner said that he enjoys ballet because of the expressiveness of the art form. He said that the five basic movements of ballet are the fundamental building blocks on which all of the ballet movements are based. Wagner also noted that • both modern and jazz dance are also based on the basic movements of classical ballet. He said, "if I had three lives, I woult^live my first as a classical ballet dancer, my second as a modern dancer and my third as a jazz dancer." According to Wagner, one of the biggest thrills of his life is to introduce ballet to people. Giselle is a crowd-pleasing vehicle for this introduction. INTERNAL CONCENTRATION: Sulpicio Wagner has devoted the past ten years to dance. Ballet for Mm is the colter of his life. TO EXPRESS—The ballet "Giselle" combines the art of witwimg with dance to visually express a romantic love story of the nrid-1800's.

Page 12 CAMPUS CRIER JULY 13, 1978 Trout fishing in gold creek valley BY J.T.THOMAS Dear Nature Lovers, welcome to Gold Creek. Advanced information, obtained from a ten-year-old Forest Service Guide Plan, said seven miles up Gold Creek to Joe Lake, and a paradise of Cutthroat fishing. The local fishing was terrible and we had been considering a trip somewhere, anywhere, that of­ fered a little action. The dart stuck in an area that we could get to in an afternoon, stay overnight, and have a line in the water before daylight. Preparations were hastily con­ cluded, and we hit the road pumped with visions of trout bigger than a man's leg.- Except for chicken bouillon, no food was packed for we anticipated gorging ourselves on the bountiful harvest found in the high lake. Dark rain clouds went unobserved. A brisk and chilly wind did not exist. Speeding down the highway, a couple of river rats were departing the low lands for a shot at the stars. 4:05 p.m., we arrived at the mouth of the creek. Enthusiasm. We would hike towards our goal. The first mile or two we marveled at the beauty that surrounded us reminded me of a cub scout trip to Seward Park, the scout master saying things like there, over there is a. fir tree, and this trail was forged by the men of the Civilian Conservation Corps. We howled to the moon: "We're in the woods, we're on the path, we're on our way." ... 6:15 p.m., the trail disappeared. After several tiresome and painful dead-ends we discovered the trail on the other side of the creek. It is alright, I thought, you have to pay for good fishing. The creek had narrowed and passage across meant tip-toeing a slippery log jammed in the fast water. He fell ... I fell into the freezing arctic water. Build a fire or go on? The trail stiffened and headed straight up. Wet added weight to the packs. ... 9:45 p.m., we were still walking. It began to rain. Every cloud must have a silver lining, wait until the sun shines through. Dark. ' I stepped in something. Crap, "I stepped in crap!" We stopped and found that there were three layers of "it" stacked on top of one another. Old, not so old, and the freshest pile of all sat on top of the heap—steaming. It was a big pile, the consensus being that it came SPOR TS BOUTIQUE Jean Headquarters Pulse His Rumble Seat Skirts Tops Coordinates Dresses 411 N.

A man had been run up a tree by two bears, twenty miles from Bel- lingham. They shook him loose and proceeded to maul him to death. Word has it his screams could be heard in town. ...Terror cannot be ward­ ed off once it gets a decent start. We are taught not to panic. Bear crap! Panic can make one's feet run like an antelope panic mo­ bilizes the body so that a quick exit away from the terror is successful. Had we walked through or were we just beginning to intrude on Bear's hunting grounds? Both questions implied a perimeter Crap rather than a dump in the middle, and my mind was racing-muddled-as I heard him break the silence with, "Bear!" Down the side of the mountain we scrambled, falling, crawling, hardly noticing the rocks which scuffed holes in our shins, down a cascading waterfall, and on into a pool of water. ... The cold water had tamed some of the fear as we sat there, puffing, looking to the noise of the creek. Two noises are better than one. Two people are better than one, and I thanked God I was.iiot alone. Quickly, the largest camp fire in the history of the Wenatchee National Forest began to roar. Nothing made of wood was sacred as we burnt the island bare oi everything save rock and sand. Chicken bouillon boiled in the pot, and with an ear for bear sounds we opened up a perky conversation about life which lasted until dawn. Sleep was considered from time to time and both of us were guilty of nodding off, but a firm commit­ ment to sleep never entered our minds. Sleeping shifts were proposed that idea didn't get off the ground because our relation­ ship lacked time, time to learn to trust one another that he or I would not fall asleep leaving the trusting one helpless to the mad charge of the bear hiding in the woods.

You'll never make a dime that way never heard a word I say. We talked of going on in to Joe Lake but it was never pressed God knows how much further that must have been, and the night had sapped our taste for travel, except back. So we left.

I cannot tell you exactly where Joe Lake is, but purported­ ly it is seven miles northeast of the summit a dead aim from there along the grid line that separates King and Kittitas Counties finds Joe Lake very near Huckleberry Mountain. We camped at the site of an old gold mine from which both the valley and the creek come by their names. ... There are no fish in Gold Creek on the 2nd weekend of June. Ex-convict needs writer BY LES FITZPATRICK Johnny Lee Holly, number A-8042, ended nearly four years of parole last March after spending 28 years in San Quentin and Folsom prisons. The 5l7year-old ex-convict, songwriter and guitarist, who claims to have been an underworld hit-man and while in prison was a "protection salesman", is search­ ing for someone to help him write his life story. "I've been in prison since 1945," said the articulate Holly, "and I spent many of those years in maximum security. Tve spent hours talking with Charles Man- son. George Jackson was a dose personal friend of mine. Country star Merle Haggard was my & O fe, A & cell-mate for three years before he made the big time. Hell yes Tve got a story to tell. I just need someone to help me write it." Holly said the last time he spoke with convicted murderer Charles Manson was in 1973 when Holly was a, prison trustee with clearance into the ijiaximum security section where Manson was kept "Charlie is a , talker. When I talked with him he still said that he was Christ and that he was wrongly convicted," said Holly. Holly also said that he has spoken with Sirhan Sirhan, con­ victed murderer of the late Robot * Kennedy. "Sirhan knows hell never get out of prison," said Holly. "He's very withdrawn and quiet." Concerning the late revolution­ ist George Jackson, Holly said, "I was with George just an hour before he killed eight guards and was finally brought down when they blew his brains out." Holly said that Jackson went on his killing rampage after he learned that his 17-year-old broth­ er was killed by police after murdering the court reporter, the judge and the prosecuting attor­ ney who helped convict George Jackson. The bespectacled, somewhat slight Holly says that, between 1958 and 1961 he played guitar with cell-mate Merle Haggard in San Quentin Prison on a regularly televised program called The Warden Show. .^According to Holly, Hie Warden Show, which was Haggard's first chance at stardom, was sponsored and paid for by Johnny Cash. Holly also said that another member of The Warden Show band was Glen Shirley, now play­ ing in Johnny Cash's band. Holly says that he has contacted several college professors about his book, which he plans to call The Seven Prisons Of Hell. As yet he has not been able to find anyone who is willing to spend either the time or money. He said, "The problem is, ex-convict books have already been written. In fact, I'm even mentioned in Carl Chessman's Death Row 2245. Look for it. In the book I'm called Sharkey, because I was a hit-man and protection salesman." Holly is confident that his book will be written and published. "All I need," he said, "is a ghost writer and a little publicity and I know my book will sell. I know it will. It's, just a matter of time." EUensbnrg's only Head shop is now in Yakima's only Head shop. h Czardas has tapes & records for $4" the lowest prices in Y akima Czardas 211 W.

JULY 13. 1978 JiAUEliUiBifiL Page 13 Roslyn... 8 1 m Extra call! At 5 a.m.. Saturday, July 1st, people expectantly began to assemble in front of the old Northwest Industries Store in Roslyn. The reason: they had a chance to act in a real Hollywood movie, see their face on the Big Screen and have it displayed throughout the country (if not the world) in Stanley Kramer's new movie, The Runner Stumbles. By 8 a.m., 250 people ranging from townspeople from Roslyn to drama majors from Central Washington University had expectantly gathered to find what their fate held. Larry Kramer, film casting director chose the 40 people who would have minor walk-on and crowd scene roles in the movie starring Dick Van Dyke, Kathleen Qalnlan, Ray Bolger and Maureen Stapleton. Kramer asked the extra candidates to bring an 8 x 10 glossy photograph of themselves and dress in 1920's era clothes. The film is set in 1926 and tells the story of a priest in a small mining town who falls in love with a nun and is accused of her murder after she dies in a fire. Various kinds of people turned out for the extra call. They ranged from people drawn by the money ($25 per day) to funseekers who thought acting would be a good way to spend a summer vacation. One actor came all the way from Hollywood but became discouraged when he found that the production company paid less then the going rate in California. Many of the prospective extras dressed in ~ 1920's period costumes but this ranged in their minds from western outfits to 1950's period clothes. One family took their grandmother's clothes from an old trunk the night before and finding them dirty, spent the night cleaning and drying them to wear in the morning. Promptly at 8 a.m. on the 1st, the actors filed past Larry Kramer who took photographs of them with a Poloraoid camera rented especially for the event. Two hours later the production company gave their verdict to the expectant people. As their names were called, spectators could see looks of disbelief and of incredulity, that said, "Wow I made it!", on the faces of the people picked. The production crew gave the new extras instructions to show up at the Northwest Industries Store on July 9. They would then be taken to the various filming sites. Most of the extras would be used to film a courtroom scene. This scene will be filmed at the historic Brick Tavern, also the place where many of the lucky extras retired to celebrate. There the disappointed also nursed a beer and dreamed about another movie choosing Roslyn for filming and maybe, just maybe, being chosen as extras the next time.
^ CAMPUS CRIER JULY 13. 1978 Sports Basketball's Hopeful Prospect BY JACK COREY For most of us while we were in our younger years, pretending we were superstars or were playing with the superstars was a good way to while away the long afternoons. We pretended to hit in front of Pete Rose, feed a stuff to Wilt Chamberlain, or maybe take the checkered at Indy. For most of . us it was just a dream. For Sammy Miller it was just a basketball game away. Sammy Miller, in contention for a starting position on Dean Nicholson's basketball team next year, grew up in that area of New York where some of the stars grew up and learned the game of basketball. "Sometimes Julius would stop by and get in a game or two," remembers Sammy. "Frank Olynick or Mike Williamson would usually show up once a week or so, and of course there was also Calvin." Of course there was always Calvin. Sammy has a brother who plays for the Houston Rockets by the name of Calvin Murphy. Although they're step-brothers, Sammy notes that Mwe grew up and lived together all our lives so actually we're closer than most brothers." Images are hard things for one to live up to. A lot of high school athletes had an older brother who coming up in high school and performed exceptionally well and college.

"He expected "I was going to Maryland team I played. They had Walton, me to go at my own pace, but it because they had a top-flight Wilkes,: Meyers. I got over 20 program then. They were getting points against them." Sammy had players like Tom McMillan and that's where Coach Raveling was then.

I ended up being the second leading scorer behind Mike Dolvin. We didn't win much, but I thought it was a good year for me as a freshman." One of Sammy's greatest memo- anticipated a tough game and was ready. "I remember that I was really up for the game," he reminisced. "This was the reason I came west—to play some of the toughest teams, and you couldn't find them was the other people that figured I was supposed to be just as good. iBut as long as Calvin didn't/there wasn't any pressure." It was a tradition for the Miller family to have championships. "We all went to the same high school," he said, including Calvin while sadly shaking his head. and another brother Bob. "We all The reason he wasn't too happy any tougher, anywhere, then, won the championship our senior with that memory was the fact "I didn't start that game, and years." that he did end up attending when I first came in I was ready.

"If you feel you're competitive enough to play, then you can play. People, I think, get awed by the names of players, which is expected some­ what. "I was fortunate enough to grow up behind Calvin Murphy. That, in itself, kept me from getting so awed by big name players. So, I was able to approach the U.C.L.A. game like any other game. And after the game John Wooden talked to me and I got a feeling of confidence that I played well. From then on I played just as much with confidence as with ability." Sammy's second year at W.S.U. was highlighted with the introduc­ tion of Steve Poidakus. With Sammy and Poidakus doing the bulk of the scoring, the Cougars were beginning to become )SL winning ballclub. But Sammy wasn't completely happy. "I felt I played out of posi­ tion as a forward that year. I found myself underneath the boards against guys that out­ weighed me and could out-muscle me since I am so small for a big-college forward." One good lesson did come out of* playing against stronger and taller players. Sammy was shown how to handle himself and his body structure. Philosophizing again, Sammy says that "the game of basketball is not a game of bulk and size. It's a game of finesse and quickness and for guys who can think quick.- And this is how I had to approach the game." Sammy's junior year at W.S.U. never materialized as he was unexplainably set on the bench in favor of newer recruits. Disap­ pointed with this situation, Sam­ my jumped the team, quit school and returned back East. "I was working at a community recreation center, working with kids. This took up about a year and a half of my time." On his way to play for a semi-pro team in Alaska last year, Sammy ran into Dave Oliver. Oliver con­ vinced Sammy that he could finish getting his degree, preferably in communications here and could fit right into the brand of ball for which the Wildcats are known. Confident in his ability and a believer in himself, Sammy Miller feels he has a good chance of going pro upon graduation. He isn't worried that sitting out two years between W.S.U. and Central will hurt his chances. "Being an athlete, you only go through here once, and when you know how to win and you have a desire to win and you want to be Let our conditioners protect your hair from the summer sun.

"Those two years I laid off may have hurt me more, but they helped me more as a person." Sammy senses that while attending W.S.U., an athlete is just a machine * with only one purpose, to win and not to develop any humanistic traits. "We lost sight of our real intentions of being there—to learn. It was just basketball, which hindered me from putting out a real effort at getting my degree. And that's the main reason I came to Central, mostly. To get a degree that I had started for at Washington State. "But when the basketball season comes around next year, I'll be there. I'll be ready. My head will be in the game." With Sammy in the line-up next year, Central will be increasing the odds against anyone else taking the District Champion­ ship away from them. But even if the Cats do lose the title game, Sammy will be attending classes the next day, striving for his goal of obtaining a degree, which is what college athletics should be all about. Nicholson's Recruits Dave Ege from Davis High" School in Yakima has indicated he will enroll at Central where he will compete in basketball and track The 6'4" Ege scored 16.6 points a game for Davis last season and was named to the All-Big 9 League second team. His track'specialty is the high jump and his best effort is 6*9". "We are real happy to have him join us," Central basketball coach Dean Nicholson said. Two Central Washington area high school athletes halve indicated they will play basketball next year at Central. Kevin Eslinger, Kittitas, and Scott Tri, Wapato, will join Dean Nicholson's Wildcats in the fall. Eslinger competed for Central in its game May 31 against the Pacific Northwest Junior A.A.U. Olympic All-Stars. The 6'4" Eslinger was named to the All-Central B League first team, and averaged 11.1 points a game. He helped earn Kittitas a spot in the state playoffs. Tri received the Bill Amsbaugh Award, which recognizes Wapato High School's outstanding athlete. He lettered in football, basketball and baseball for the Wolves. A 6'2" guard, Tri was a second team All-Mid Valley selection and averaged 16.2 points each outing. He said he will concentrate on basketball in college.

JULY 13, 1978: CAMPUS CRIER Page 15 Summer Recreational Hints X o BY DAVE CHRISTOPHER Summer quarter brings a quiet calm to Central which seems to silence most sporting events on campus. With no collegiate sports happening, Nicholson Pavilion and Tomlinson' Field are low on athletic endeavors. When there is this athletic • shortage there is also a shortage of. sports stories, so the Sports Editor writes on recreation or anything he can find. Here is a list of some recreational ideas found successful in helping get through the sporting doldrums of summer. If the sun stays up and the wind lays low, there is nothing better than some sets of tennis. If one's backhand is good enough, it's time •to serve some smashes and lay. some lobs to leave your opponent at Love. Most of the schools in this towii have some courts, and ordinarily it's no problem to find an empty one ready for play. If one desires to play in the cool of the evening, Morgan Junior High has lights which stay on tilT 11 p.m. Also there are courts in Nicholson Pavilion and it's open for general use from 3-10 p.m. Monday through Friday, and on Saturday & Sunday 10-5:30 p.m. Well, if picking up a tennis racket isn't one's bag, pick up a frisbee and toss it around for a while. Throwing a frisbee can be a very enthusiastic and imaginative pastime. One can play a variety of games with a frisbee that are sports. For instance, there is frisbee golf, where one throws the frisbee around to 9 or 18 different locations, counting the number of throws it takes one to get to each of them. , . , There is also frisbee football which can be played with just three people: a passer, a receiver and a defender. It is just like throwing, catching and intercep­ ting a football, but a frisbee is used instead. Baseball frisbee is where two people pitch the frisbee to each other trying to strike out an imaginary batter. This allows them to perfect the different throwing techniques, by throwing a fast frisbee, a curve frisbee or, the old knuckler frisbee. And of course there is free-style frisbee, that allows one to be innovative, to come up with whatever one can, to be the great improviser. If you're not much on frisbees... hey, well pull down your pants and pull up your trunks—it's time for a dip. The swimming pool at the college is open from 8-10 p.m. Monday through Thursday, and on Friday it opens an hour earlier, with Saturday and Sundays being from 4-6 p.m. Well, now if you're all wet, a good way to dry off is to go for a bike ride in the sun. Besides getting dry, bicycling helps tone up the loose fat on those legs. One of the nice scenic bike routes in the area is on the old Cle Elum highway. But, if no bike is available and fatty legs are, there is always jogging. If you're not into jogging there is always slowpitch Softball.

Pearl 925 - 9560 only trouble is that it's hard to get enough people to play, especially in the summer, unless one's lucky enough to be on a tavern team. If you've ever tried horseshoes, it's actually a lot of fun. Memorial Park on Seventh & Chestnut has quite a few pits for playing. All one needs to bring is the shoes and an icechest full of one's drinking preference. Scoring in horseshoes id easy enough there's 5 points for a ringer, 3 points if the shoe is leaning up against the post and 1 point if the shoe is within a, horseshoe's length from the post. The game is won when the first, person reaches 21. Well, if none of these ideas strike your fancy, go fly a kite, play volleyball, go golfing, go bowling, or if your Sonic fever hasn't subsided, there is always' more hoop.
