Super 1 Foods, an all-purpose grocery store located at 200 Moun­ tain View, has refused to join the United Food and Commercial Workers Union, Local 1439. Ellensburg's Safeway, Albertsons and Price Shoppers stores all belong to this union. Union Secretary/Treasurer A1 Roberts feels that Super 1 does not want to join the union because of the fees. He explained that it would cost them money to join, and that the union would determine minimum salaries and benefits for workers. Roberts said that he thinks Super 1 Foods also does not want to unionize because as it stands, they have a labor surplus in the students of CWU. He said that as long ELS Super 1 doesn't unionize, they can pay workers whatever they want. Roberts added that workers, without unionization, are not given seniority. He said that according to the Super 1 Foods employee hand­ book, employees keep their jobs by the grace of the company and have no stability in their positions. The union has now begun to organize a boycott of Super 1 Foods in an attempt to get store officials to at least speak with union officials. Roberts said that although the union has known of the opening of WwMM I •its .'I-VI -• :• UNION PROBLEMS — Super 1, the new supermarket in town, is trying to resist efforts to allow employees to become union- affiliated. A boycott is being planned. Super 1 for quite some time, store officials have never been willing to speak to the union. Roberts said that the union has bought several radio spots and newspaper ads to encourage community support on a boycott. Super 1 Foods said that their of­ ficial position concerning the boycott is one of "no comment." However, an upper-level employee said that he didn't think that the boycott would affect business. He admitted that he didn't know how effective the union could be in gain­ ing public support, and said that Super 1 officials are, for now, going to sit back and see what happens. Please see Union page 8 University battling computer theft six stolen By JUNE MAW Staff Writer The high demand for computer equipment is being felt at Central. Computers and computer equip­ ment have been stolen from four places on campus. Duane Skeen, administrative assistant to the vice president of Academic Affairs, is concerned not just because of the loss of valuable equipment, but also because the equipment was not insured. This means the university will be forced to play "catch up" to accommodate the loses or do without. "With our budget this is a real concern," Skeen said. "It ultimately hurts the students because to replace these computers we will have to forego something in another department." Skeen believes the thefts were an outside job. "It appears to be a case of 'looking us over then working us over' because they knew exactly what to take." Alfred Teeples, chief of Campus Security, said that equipment taken included entire computer terminals such as the p.c.s, the monitors, the keyboards and the printers. Stolen equipment totalled $2,600. To combat this, Skeen has en­ couraged faculty and staff for over a year to take precautions to discourage theft. These precautions include securing equipment to desks and steam pipes and using in­ delible red ink to stencil "CWU" on all parts. "Up until now we've been fortunate. We've always had some loss but not like this." Teeples said that there are over 300 p.c.s on the Central campus and no way of providing electronic security systems for all of them. He said that the computers stolen were cabeled down. Teeples said that a prospect for the university now is to look into lock-down systems which lock computers to desks. Campus security records indicate six computers were stolen from four sites, most recently from a pro­ fessor's office in the Language and Literature Building on Jan. 23. In the past eight months one has been stolen from the Hebeler lab, two from Shaw-Smyser and two from Bouillon in the Computer Services lab. Teeples said, however, that it is not known exactly how the thieves got to the computers. He said that there was no evidence of a break-in, so the thieves must have had a key, or the doors to the rooms in which the computers were kept were not locked. 1 1 • '.V

Well I'm excited, my parents are proud and I am ready to go out into the "real world" to maybe make some money and a life for myself. However, one trip to Mitchell Hall and my excitement has turned to irritation. Central has become almost as irritating as those little dogs that nip at your heels as you ride your bike. Anyway, low and behold, I found that in order to graduate and go through the accompany­ ing ceremonies, I would have to shell out some more money. I couldn't believe it They hit you up for money when you enter jiii college then, for the four years you're here, the system sucks either you or your parents dry. Finally, to show their apprecia­ tion for your choice of Central as the place to get educated, you get slammed with graduation fees. What are these fees for? Who knows? However, out of curiosi­ ty, I searched my graduation ap­ plicationfor the answer and this is what I discovered: There is a placement fee of $5 and although I am not sure what that is, I would appreciate Cen­ tral placing me in a job, but I think that's asking too much. My degree costs $10 and though I don't feel that I should receive my diplomaforfree, I do feel that spending approximately $5,000 a yearforfour years of schooling is quite sufficient Finally, get this. There is a student benefit charge of $1 — boy, I can understand that one. Mind you, not to be forgotten is the cap and gown fee which is $16. Calvin Klein's fees aren't that outrageous. Now, it is not that I feel over­ whelmed by the $32 cost of graduating from this fine in­ stitution. Heck, for that price we will probably get to listen to so­ meone as brilliant, distinguish­ ed, and tuned into financial pro­ blems as Secretary of Education William Bennett. I am just amazed that the system gets you coming, while you're here, and when you're going. I cer­ tainly can hardly wait until I become financially secure, on the verge of getting a raise at work, and thinking about buy­ ing that new BMW, because somehow the school will track me down one day with an alum­ ni letter hitting me up for a donation. I've seen it happen. ' &•- : 'Mi' /: •: V- r- • ••'s ' ••• • • • • . O, .- •V • - -v:V ' \s ••••,• r I What do you think of the fees associated with applying for and going through graduation?

Smoking can kill you reader knows To the Editor: This letter is not in response to an Observer article, but I do feel that it is of concern to your readers. Anyone who watches TV or reads newspapers knows about the health risks of smoking, yet today there are still people who can't kick the habit or begin smoking despite the warn­ ings. I've heard a lot of the reasons why people smoke including gain­ ing weight, needing a perk, or even those people who cite their grand­ father who lived to 80 despite a pack a day habit. Well some people do gain weight when they quit and maybe smoking does perk some people up, but the pack-a-day smoker who lives to be eighty is definitely the exception. My grand­ father smoked a pack a day for more than 30 years. He stopped 12 years ago when the warnings came on strong, but he didn't live to be 80. Last week, my grandfather died at age 69 of emphysema. He was diagnosed with the lung-disorder two years ago, and since then, he was confined to his home, where eveiy half-hour he had to inhale ox­ ygen from a tank. My grandmother also suffers from emphysema. They left their hovje once a week for groceries ana once a month for doc­ tor appointments other trips were too long or too exhausting. They were retired, financially secure, and their house was paid for, yet they didn't have the strength to leave the house for more than short trips. They had planned to travel and relax in their retirement, but they hadn't planned on emphysema. Most people don't think of health risks when they're young and they absent-mindedly light up that se­ cond cigarette of the morning. But why not? If someone was going to take a financial risk, wouldn't they plan out the pro's and con's? Why don't we give our bodies the same respect we give our money? Next time you have a cigarette in your hand, ask yourself, "Is it worth the money, is it worth the yellow teeth, the dirty ashtrays, the smelly clothes and furniture? Is it worth of­ fending non-smokers, harming my loved ones with second-hand smoke, and is it worth the pain?" As a non-smoker, I can't answer the first four questions, but I can answer the last one. As I watched my grandfather lay in his hospital bed for more than a month, with four IV's in his bruised arm, his stomach and feet swollen from his failing circulatory system and liver, the numerous treatments and machines that kept his lungs work­ ing, his periods of unconsciousness, his painful, wracking coughs, and now as I watch my family mourn, I say no. If you smoke, please stop. The sooner the better. Signed, Jeannine Godfrey Yacht racing is the ultimate team sport To the Editor: Sports writer Dan StiHer's ig- norance of yacht racing has ap­ parently blinded him to the fact that closed course races, especial­ ly in the conditions around Fremantle, require the ultimate in team work and physical condi­ tioning. There is no room for a fumble, no second string on the bench for relief, and no scholar­ ships or contracts awaiting the winners. Those men are out there because they love the sport, and are willing to make sacrifices for the opportunity to race. They should be honored. Signed, Bill B. Henry Jobs and financial aid don't mix To the Editor: I am one of the many students who is currently receiving financial aid from CWU. I am also one of the many whose financial aid doesn't cover their expenses, and whose parents are unable to provide very much financial support. For that reason, I took a job working at Holmes Dining Hall. Between my financial aid and paycheck I am able to scrape by, quarter by quarter. When 1 returned after Christmas break I was welcomed by a letter from our imfamous Financial Aid Office which bluntly stated that I was earning too much money and I must quit my job to avoid reduc­ tions in my financial aid. After ask­ ing around, I found that I wasn't the only person who was being forced to quit for the same reason. Because of this new turn of evefUs I will have to try and find an oif campus job, which is almost im­ possible to do in this town, or take another loan which will drive me further into debt after graduation. All I wanted to do was finance my education, but I guess that's against the rules at CWU. Does anyone have a logical explanation to why the school does this to the students, because the Financial Aid Office's explanation is anything but logical.

It seems that Lipsync at­ tracts two things every year — HIGHER EDUCATION By Blane Bellerud good acts and poor M.C.'s — I didn't think last year's terrible M.C.'s could be topped but Jean- nine Godfrey and Ted Ulmer did their best, and in fact succeeded at making most observers of Lip­ sync nauseous and to some degree took away from the acts. Lipsync is a fun, annual event and about the only thing, other than vacations, that the entire campus seems to get excited about. It's well managed and never fails to raise a smile of those involved. So why is the redun­ dant drawback of poor M.C.'s in­ sisted upon? A little more effort at humor (any effort) would make the show easier to sit through and more appropriate to the idea of Lipsync — to have fun.

CAMPOS Staff Writer On Tues., Jan. 27, KCAT, the CWU-run radio station, went off the air for a 48-hour time period. During those hours, the KCAT staff quickly relocated their equipment from the SUB into their new location on the second floor of Bouillon Hall. Ted Ulmer, KCAT general manager, said going off the air was the last thing he wanted to do, but when the change came he welcom­ ed it, describing the SUB location as being dusty, cramped and unsuited for a radio station. A definite advantage which Ulmer pointed out was space. The SUB could accomodate only one studio. This limited the amount of production hours available (only in the mornings) and also meant disc jockeys and news personnel had to share the same microphone. In their Bouillon station, Ulmer said they can have as many as three studios. With more studios, KCAT members can not only make tapes and carts in the morning, but anytime the need arises. Having ad- Joining studios also means DJs no longer have to share the microphone with news casters. Along with the advantage of space, more equipment is also available. The Communication Department recently purchased a reel-to-reel tape machine which is at the disposal of the KCAT staff. Also, the aquisition of a new cart machine, used for commercials, is an added advantage to the staff along with the new control board, which is less than a year old. Ulmer said equipment delays and construction slow downs prevented the move into Bouillon from taking place during fall quarter as had been expected. mmm mmt • f *'-as.-, m $kyx«:vw 5 3 * J* * yk'- i ' NEW STUDIO — KCAT disc jockey Glen move came after a long battle on the part of Nielsen goes on the air from the radio KCAT personnel. station's new studio in Boullion Hall. The The future of the radio station now remains to be seen and depends on university officials. Ulmer said the next big step for the radio station is to try to get off of cable and onto the air-waves, like regular radio stations. The station has been on cable ever since the Central transmitter burned several year ago. Ulmer said being dependent on the cable system limits the quality of the station's signal. Ulmer ex­ pressed a desire to go stereo, but said the cable system would not be able to handle the strong signal pro­ jected by the radio station. If the radio station were to get on the air-waves, it would be possible to broadcast in stereo. Also with the added audience, more advertising revenue could be expected for the self-supporting station. However, university officials must first approve the notion of go­ ing to the air-waves. This will not be the first time the radio station will attempt to get off of cable. Last year's General Manager Doug Eck presented the idea to university of­ ficials, but the station still broad­ casts through cable. If Ulmer's efforts do prove suc­ cessful, and the radio station is allowed to get onto the air-waves, Ulmer feels with the added advan­ tages of their new location, KCAT would become one of the most en­ vied college stations in Washington. $50,000 donated to CWU for scholarships By MARK MCLEAN Staff Writer Central's William O. Douglas Honors College recently received a $50,000 endowment for scholar­ ships donated by an anonymous source on behalf of a former CWU professor. The scholarship will be titled the Lillian Bloomer Memorial Scholar­ ship Fund and has been designated for those "who show the most pro­ mise of completing the Douglas Honors College," said Linda Marra, director of the Douglas Honors Col­ lege. Marra said the committee of facul­ ty advisors to the honors college had not decided who would receive the scholarships or how many they would give. However the committee has nar­ rowed the field down and "has decided that the first scholarships from the fund would go to outstan­ ding students in the up- perclassmen," according to Marra. "These guys have stuck with it and we want to reward that." The money from the endowment would be set aside in a special trust fund and the interest drawn from the account would be used for the scholarships Marra explained. The Douglas Honors Committee has not decided on the size or number of scholarships the committee will award. Marra speculated that they would either award four $1,000 scholarships or eight at $500 each. This money will supplement the regular Douglas Honors Scholar­ ship Fund, which will be used for the freshmen and sophomores in the program. Marra said many of the incoming freshmen have one- or two-year scholarships already and that this new memorial scholarship would also be used to help them after their current awards expire. Lillian Bloomer graduated from Washington State Normal School, now Central Washington Universi­ ty. She worked at various positions in the education department in­ cluding as a training school staff member, as a teaching supervisor and as an education faculty member, before retiring in 1960. She has been described by col­ leagues as "a gracious, dedicated teacher who loved her students and her work," Marra said. "The donation was made in Pro­ fessor Bloomer's name because of her dedication to high standards for her students and her interest in the career and writings of Justice Douglas," Marra said. Besides being interested in Douglas, she also enjoyed nature and outdoor activities. This is in ac­ cord with the emblem of the Douglas Honors College which is a circular motif with a book and trees inscribed in the center. Marra ex­ plained that Justice Douglas, for whom the honors college is named, was always very interested in education and always appreciated nature too. CWU classes extend around state By LISA SNYDER Staff Writer Many individuals would like to return to school and complete their education. Some of them, such as married individuals or full-time employees, find it impossible to relocate to a resident campus,ex­ plained Jean Putnam, dean of Ex­ tended Degree Programs at Central. Central's Extended Degree Pro­ gram offers help to these place- bound students, Putnam said. The program offers courses leading to a certain area, but it does not offer a full degree. There are four centers around the state. Steilecoom Center has pro­ grams in electronic technology and in law and justice. Those offered at Lynnwood Center are accounting, business administration and law and justice. Normandy Park offers numerous programs, and the Tri- City Center includes courses in business administration, liberal arts, school administration and principalship. In order to be admitted into the program, an individual must have received an Associate of Arts degree from a community college or the equivalent from a four-yeair institu­ tion. The student must also be ad­ mitted into the center, as well as the university, which are two separate procedures. The number of students allowed to enter each program is designated by a quota system. The state has placed an enrollment quota on the institution. Central has 5,955 full- time students. Central has decided that it will allow only ten percent of those full-time students to study at an off-campus facility. Putnam said that about 600 full-time students are currently enrolled in off-campus facilities. However, including part- time students, there was 1,615 Please see Extension page 8
Thursday, Feb. 12,1987 The Observer — Page 5 CWU/community interaction encouraged By TIFFANY McCUTCHEON Staff Writer Guy Solomon, director of Com­ munity Relations at Central Washington University, presented the video, "The Central Spirit" and asked for BOD reactions and sug­ gestions for further improving com­ munity involvement at Central. He was speaking at the Feb. 2 ASCWU Board of Directors meeting, held at 3 p.m. in the Kachess Room of the SUB. Solomon told the board that he and Sarah Martin, Parents' Weekend coordinator, were going to be speaking to the Ellensburg Chamber of Commerce on Tues., Feb. 3 about the town's involve­ ment in Parents' Weekend, which is to be held May 8-10. Solomon said, despite the bad press that he felt the "Observer" had given the com­ munity relations in the past he felt that the community and the univer­ sity had excellent relations. Solomon cited citizen involve­ ment in the Central Investment Fund, scholarships for CWU students, which are funded by com­ munity support. CIF is expected to provide over 25 $1,000 scholar­ ships this year, according to Solomon. He added that, although he doesn't have any specific sugges­ tions, he would like to see the students at Central work better with the community. To that end, Solomon suggested that Parents' Weekend might be a good starting place for increased student/com­ munity interaction. In addition, Solomon played a video, produced by CWU television services, for the board.4 'The Central Spirit" is the video equivalent of a campus viewbook, which is shown to prospective students and other interested people. The video, scripted by Solomon, features Cen­ tral students and was shot entirely on campus. Solomon showed the video to show the board what community relations is doing to help in the recruiting of prospective students. According to the video, "U.S. News and World Report," in its November 1983 issue, ranked Central seventh best west of the Mississippi and 15 So you want to be an Editor....

Also on the agenda, John Drinkwater, director of Student Ac­ tivities, announced that no one had filed an application of candidacy in the upcoming elections for the Faculty Senate representative posi­ tion. He reported that, rather than activating a candidacy for the posi­ tion, the election commission is go­ ing to wait and see if a write-in can­ didate emerges. He also pointed out that, if no one is elected, the new ASCWU president can appoint so­ meone later. Drinkwater told the board that a final decision had been made on the Wang Chung concert. Wang Chung will not be invited to perform at Cen­ tral. Instead, the board will look into the possibility of bringing Eddie Money to Central for a concert. Faculty Senate Representative Scott Lemert reported that lack of response on the part of the faculty is slowing down the implementation of computerized evaluations available to students. Lemert asked for suggestions in expediting the evaluation process. Executive Vice President Duane LaRue suggested that the board contact each of the departments individually and ask for their cooperation. LaRue said he felt it was impor­ tant, to follow up on the faculty evaluations since it had been one of the campaign promises made last year. LaRue noted that the business, communications and flight technology departments had been cooperative though.

The answer, according to Duane LaRue, executive vice president of ASCWU, is that the only ones to profit from the exchange will be those students who use its services. LaRue explained that the book exchange, scheduled to be in opera­ tion by the end of winter quarter, will be a nonprofit service run by students, for students. He stressed that the ASCWU will not be making any money on the project. The plan­ ning stage is finished and a proposal for the exchange has been drawn up for approval by the ASCWU Board of Directors. The proposal includes a com­ puter program for cataloging books, provisions for hiring a student coor­ dinator to oversee the operation of the exchange and plans for a stan­ ding committee of six students to help operate the exchange. The coordinator will be required to spend at least seven hours of of­ fice time per week administrating the exchange. The coordinator will also collaborate with the standing committee in drawing up an opera­ tions manual. In return, the student selected as coordinator will receive a stipend of $250 or three advisor- approved credits for each quarter. Mike McClusky, a senior majoring in accounting, has expressed an in­ terest in the job for spring quarter. Students wishing to sell a book through the exchange will bring the book to the exchange and name the price they wish to receive for it. The student's name and the title and price of the book will be entered on the computer and the book will be kept in a locked room until someone purchases it. Students wishing to purchase a * tofinaAtt GJfcFFirr A ij V \ 111 H # t % 9 r- book can consult a book board which will list the title and purchase price of each book. An exchange employee will retrieve the book from storage as soon as the student has made a selection. If the book isn't available, the ex­ change employee will enter the stu­ dent's name and book title desired on the computer. The student will be notified when the book becomes available. LaRue noted that the committee is having some problems getting a list of required textbooks from some professors. He said he believes that it is because some of them haven't heard of the exchange and don't know that it is a student service pro­ ject. He is hoping to overcome their reluctance by explaining to them what it is all about. Scott Lemert, Faculty Senate representative, and LaRue are also scheduling meetings, to be held in residence halls, to explain the new program and to answer any ques­ tions students may have. LaRue also said that students may be able to sell back books, for a small price, that will no longer be used and would not be eligible for resale to the bookstore. He said that efforts are being made to contact an individual who buys books which are no longer used at one school and resells them to other universities which still use them. f Do you have a flair for words?

Thursday, Feb 12,1987 The Observer — Page 7 Rangers challenge their physical ability By VICTORINA MATA Staff.Writer Most are familiar with the Army phrase, "Be all that you can be." Some cadets in the Army-ROTC program at Central are finding that this means pushing their physical ability to its limit Selected can­ didates are currently in training for the annual Ranger Challenge. The Ranger Challenge is an all- day competition of physical ability and expert knowledge. The com­ petition will be held May 6-8 in Fort Lewis, Washington, near Tacoma. The cadets selected to compete in the competition are: John McGlinn, Dave Allen, Vance Gabriel, Dan Maine, Doug Olmstead, Duane Carte, Wayne Metz, Paris Um and Prank Escalefa. The Central Army-ROTC team will be competing against other Army-ROTC teams from 12 other schools from Washington, Idaho, Oregon and Montana. Five teams from Washington will compete, and include the University of Washington, Washington State University and Eastern Washington University, Central's biggest rival. There are six events in the com­ petition, according to ROTC Cap­ tain Jeff Duncan. In the first event the team will construct a rope bridge across an obstacle, usually some type of ravine. After the bridge is constructed, they will take it apart. The fastest team wins. This is followed by the grenade throwing event. Accuracy deter­ mines the winner. The third event is weapon assembly/disassembly. Each team member will put together, then take apart an M-16 and an M-60. Ac- petitive," said Laurie Ann Reynolds, commander in charge of training. "They really want to win." The teams in the past have not done well, said Reynolds. Reynolds said that this year's team is different because they have "more cohesion, This is not a competition for the individual, it's going to take team work to win...and we're working together as a team.' -Vance Gabriel curacy and speed will determine the winner. This is followed by the weapon fir­ ing contest using M-16s and M-60s. The best score wins. The next event is the orienteering competition. In this event there are points layed out on a map. The team members must search for markers that are indicated on the map. The day culminates in a ten kilometer (6.2 mile) run. The Rangers are required to run in full gear, which includes their uniform, a backpack and an M-16. The best team overall wins the competition. "This year's team will be com­ cooperation and most important, they have athletic ability." "This is not a competition for the individual, it's going to take team work to win...and we're working together as a team," said Ranger Vance Gabriel. According to Duncan, training for the cadets is difficult. Because of Central's size, the bigger schools have better facilities to train, he said. Weather has also been a problem. For example, according to Ranger Duane Carte, "We had to wear snowshoes while practicing for the orienteering course. The other teams are training in regular shoes." Currently there are twelve cadets training, but only selected Ranger members will go to the competition. To be selected, said Duncan, an in­ dividual first had to volunteer. "Then the cadets were observed, and we chose the best," said Dun­ can. Duncan said that the Ranger team is not restricted to the cadets in the program. "We would have lik­ ed to have taken non-cadets, but none volunteered." Carte said that he wants to par­ ticipate for the competition and possibly for the "thrill of victory." Ranger John McGlinn said he wants to participate for "personal satisfaction," which is the shared attitude of the team . McGlinn said that for par­ ticipating the Rangers are also privileged "to wear a black beret, in­ stead of the green hats." In addition, they will receive a Ranger Challenger tab to wear on their uniforms, according to Reynolds. If the team places first or second, they will go to the regional competi­ tion and compete "in what we would call the Pac 10," said Dun­ can. The winner of the regional will receive a trophy and recognition in the "Army Times," an Army publication, Duncan said. "Regardless of what happens, we will still be proud of them (the Rangers)," said Duncan. Midterm stress drives student near the edge Staff Writer It's that dreaded ti ^e in the school quarter again. The only time I hate more is finals. In a zombied state of dazed confusion I wander the campus, certain that my men­ tality is skirting the edges of insani­ ty. My capacity to remember and recall is on the verge of overflowing. My eyes are bulging and red, my posture is almost lacking altogether, my speech is jumbled, my concentration faltering. Now what were we talking about? Oh, yes. It's midterm time. Tests and more tests, and will I ever learn not to cram? I doubt it now that I on­ ly have four more quarters to go. The question I always have to ask myself at this time, that is when I am mentally able to think of it, is "Why do I put myself through this?" Is a degree this important? It must be, because I keep doing it, and I keep trying new methods of studying to make things easier. You know what I'm talking about. You sit in class and listen to all the peo­ ple that surround you, not so in­ tellectually gifted as yourself, as they describe their sure-fire methods for midterm studying. You laugh to yourself at the time, and then go home and try out their methods. I once tried turning my radio to a station that I didn'tT like with the volume up loud. Then I opened my Here's how Chiropractic treats Arm Rains Pains in the arms, wrists, fingers, elbows shoulders are not to be taken lightly, whether they be related to injury or a disease condition. Many pains which may be felt in the arm are actually caused by structural prob­ lems which involve the spine and nervous system. Without proper treatment. degeneration can occur.

Dr. Maynard Under Dr. Sand Under Dr. Myron Under windows to let a cold breeze come through. Nothing was sinking in, and I was still just as tired as ever. When I woke up the next morning I found the neighborhood dogs sing­ ing along with the radio outside my window. I immediately put a rather unfair label on the person that I had gotten that piece of advice from. Another time I tried munching while I studied. Within a half hour I was more involved with the food than with my books, and for the next 10 months I was involved with my weight. The next day in class I scanned the person who gave me that tip. I wondered why I had never noticed those extra 15 pounds before. The other failure for me that I find so many people swear by is the old caffeine high. How people manage to study on 18 cups of coffee or 12 cans of pop, I will never know. But none the less, I tried this method more than once. Each time my body began to shake until the print of my texts and notes were vibrating too violently to read, let alone understand. And all that extra energy would exhaust my body by test time. Again I ask, why do I keep doing this to myself? Is it peer pressure? All my friends do it. Am I a masochist? Probably. Does it have something to do with the way I was toilet trained? That's a thought I'd rather not entertain. The only answer that keeps flashing itself before my stressed brain is "I don't know!" I do know, however, that at least, through all the agony and sleepless nights, I am comforted by one thought: Most other students also suffer at the pro­ spect of midterms in the same way as I. No matter how bad it gets, at least I'm not alone. 101116. Alder ELLENSBURG 962-2570 JJ r V SUNGLASSES SUNGLASSES BY BAUSCH ft LOMB They're HOT!!! They're the original!!! IODERN TICAL] $ 430 N.

Page 8 — The Observer Thursday more about Union Roberts felt that the union would be successful in getting Ellensburg residents to boycott. He said that since the union began informing the public of their stand through radio and newspapers, they have received a substantial amount of letters in support of the action. Roberts also feels that the boycott will be successful in getting Super 1 Foods to unionize. He explained that unionization actually means more than just higher wages, more benefits and seniority for employees. Roberts feels that if Super 1 Foods doesn't unionize, it will hurt the economic community of Ellensburg. He said that Ellensburg really isn't big enough for four grocery stores. Since Super 1 does not pay its employees as much as Safeway, Albertsons and Price Shoppers do, they can afford to lower some of their prices, though Roberts said that some items are priced higher than at these other more about Extension from pg. 1 stores. This price difference com­ bined with the mere fact that the size of Super 1 allows it to serve many consumers that once shop­ ped at the other Ellensburg stores means a loss of money for the other stores. Roberts said that the loss of money ultimately means that Safeway, Albertsons and Price Shoppers will not be able to support as many employees. As a matter of fact, Roberts felt that as much as ten percent of the local job market might be lost. Roberts said that if Super 1 Foods did unionize, the only Changes would be ones concerning the employees, not customer service. He said that currently, cheap stu­ dent help is simply subsidizing their profits. Roberts said that the process of unionizing, if Super 1 Foods is forc­ ed to go that route, would simply re­ quire a majority vote in favor of ac­ tion by its employees. students enrolled at satellite facilities last fall. The Extended Degree office is located in Barge Hall, Room 301. This office is only responsible for facilitating course scheduling, sup­ port services and facilities. It is not responsible for curriculum or facul­ ty. The program, which began in 1975, has been very successful, ac­ cording to Putnam. There are long waiting lists for many of the pro­ grams. "Central wants to be respon- from pg. 4 sive to the needs of the students around the state," Putnam said. "We like to think that we are responding to those needs in a positive way." Putnam said that there are no im­ mediate plans to develop more facilities. She explained that to in­ crease facilities would mean in­ creasing the number of off-campus students, and that resources are limited. Putnam said, however, that Central is continuing to look at what they have and make improvements.

Thursday, Feb. 12,1987 The Observer — Page 9 Lipsync got 'Nasty' in 1987 mm vlgllllllJll By JIM LUIDL Staff Writer WINNING ACT — Janet Jackson and her backup dancers got nasty enough to walk away with first prize at Lipsync. Once again the University Store put forth their best effort and gave Central Washington University students a chance to party on a Fri­ day night by bringing us Lipsync '87. A chance for our most talented, (maybe just our bravest) students at CWU to pretend that they can look just as flashy and maniacal as stars that come to us via MTV and the cavalcade of other music video shows that saturate our minds every day. Lipsync has been a fixture at Cen­ tral since 1981, according to Dave McCauley, manager of the Universi­ ty Store. As always, Guy Solomon, head of University Relations, started off the festivities in a suit that he should have gotten him ar­ rested. From the way he was swing­ ing that mallet, you m%at have thought he was related to Gallagher. Solomon was the first host of Lip­ sync back in 1981, doing the entire show. His co-host was Ray Nooden, whom Solomon described as, "A wooden indian that was tough to play off of." Solomon was also responsible for as he put it, "Conn­ ing the first act to volunteer." For those of you that remember, that act was none other than Steve Tri, who became famous for his lipsync of Steve Martin. Tri won the au­ dience appreciation award the first year, and took first prize the year after. After that, he was a Lipsync co-host. Ever since then, students have been the hosts. Speaking of the hosts, what can be said about Ted Ulmer and Jeanine Godfrey. For one, I felt sorry for them. I would rather be a baseball umpire than have to face the mob in McConnell. Somehow, the idea of being pelted with hun­ dreds of Lipsync programs does not appeal to me. Ulmer's deceptively sincere wit can only be matched by his ability as a quick change artist. (Did I say sincere? Well, Manson thought he was sincere, too). Ulmer seemed to have an endless supply of tee-shirts as well as an inexhaustable supply of raw humour. All I can say is that if he can wing a baseball as good as he does those shirts, the Mariners might have a chance. When asked about what he thought of being host of Lipsync, Ulmer said, "Yea, I had a few." Jeanine Godfrey is not only pleas­ ing to watch, but turned out to be a good co-host for Ulmer. At first, I thought she was to be the straight part of the act and take the brunt of Ulmer's humour. But in the end, she defended herself fairly well against the onslaught of, "The Metalhead." Godfrey said she was excited to be doing Lipsync because it was one of the few events during the year that brought the whole student body together. Godfrey said she was picked to host through pure luck. "I just hap­ pened to be talking to Guy (Solomon) one day and he asked me if I wanted to host Lipsync." Who could refuse? A lot of credit must be given to the courageous four that carried the cards for the acts. Brenda Berube and Teresa King were knockouts. On the other side of the coin, Jim- mie Dillingham and Matt Park gave the ladies in the audience a real treat with a round of free posing. When I asked Berube what it was like to be a card carrier, she responded, "A pain in the ass." Hie main part of the entertain­ ment was of course, the acts. Fifteen groups performed in all, and they • • \ •• :'V Please see Janet page 10 vv-.'c ---. Garrity voices concerns for students in need By EILEEN MILBAUER Staff Writer We have all heard about the financial aid cutbacks for this school year: The Financial Aid Of­ fice has expressed its feelings, but what have we heard from the Presi­ dent of Central Washington Univer­ sity? Does President Donald Garrity have any concerns? When asked how he felt abvout the cutbacks, President Garrity responded, "Compared with last year, they weren't that significant." But that does not mean that he is removed from the reality of the stuation. "It hits hardest at the people who have the least in economic resources." Garrity said. With the reduction in grants and work study the funds have shifted to loans. He feels these students are the ones that need the work study and grants the mostt. "The last thing they need are debts!" Garrity emphasized. The 'working class' are the group of people Garrity feels have been completely forgotten. He said that these people can't get grants very eastty. However, Garrity said that if the proposal that President Reagan presented to congress were to go through, it would be even more dif­ ficult for these students to get even these loans that they depend on so much now that the grants have become so difficult to get. William Bennett United States Secretary of Education, was noted last year as suggesting that the pro­ blem with financial aid is divestiture. That students are going to have to divest themselves of trips to Florida, new stereos, and care. President Canity's comment on this is that Bennett is, "removed from reality" when it comes to financial aid for students. "To suggest that this is what peo­ ple are like is the grossest offense." Garrity replied. President Garrity does have con­ cerns about the financial aid cut­ backs for this fiscal year. He feels that the cutbacks hurt everyone in need of assistance. Not only the minorities, not only the working class, but everyone. mmm. 1 /jV/S* CONCERNED PRESIDENT — CWU President Don Garrity feels that everyone is hurt by across the boardfinancial aid cutbacks.

ANDERSON Staff Writer The Observer thanks Alternate Channels Video for the use of their equipment The job of a film critic is not as easy as it seems. Many of the films I see are exercises in tedium and stupidity. But every once in a while I will hit a streak of excelllentfilms this was one of those weeks. Wise Guys Danny DeVito and Joe Piscopo play a pair of inept mobsters who are constantly being put into tight spots by their boss. They try to rise above their level but fail and lose $250 of the boss' money. Because they will not rat on each other, the boss decides not to kill them in­ stead as a test of loyalty, he offers each of them their lives if they kill their friend each other. At the same time, one of the boss' hit men wants to kill them both. This sets the scene for a wildly outrageous dark comedy. This is one of the funniest com­ edies I have seen in a long time. Piscopo and DeVito are the fun­ niest two to pair up in at least five years. They can create a laugh with the slightest facial expres­ sions, or resort to slapstick without losing a thing. Brian DePalma's direction (an unlikely candidatefor directing any kind of comedy) also adds to this hilarious movie. **** Big Trouble In Little China Kurt Russel plays Jack Burton, a loudmouth with great reflexes, who gets mixed up in odd business in Chinatown. These things in­ clude a 2,000 year old ghost/demon/old coot, three of the meanest martial arts experts I've ever seen, an army of black belts with automatic weaponry, and a few assorted monsters. On Jack's side is his friend who could teach Bruce Lee a few tricks, a bus driver/sorcerer, and a much smaller army of black belts with guns.

One of the neat things about this film is that it moves fast. It almost never pauses but just keeps rolling along like a truck with no brakes on a steep hill. John Carpenter, director takes the kitchen sink ap­ proach to this film throw in everything but the kitchen sink, and when the audience least suspects it, drop that on them. This film seems a bit crowded on the smallness of a television screen as opposed to a movie theatre, but I feel that only enhances its roller- coaster effect. There are so many little things that happen in this film that it begs for a second viewing. It does play havoc with some of the explana­ tions for all the mayhem, and in­ deed it may be too fast for some viewers.

more about Winter the crunching of massive tractor tires on the crusted snow. It's the CWU Services tractor plow­ ing the icy refuse from the mall pathways. She panics, not being able to decide whether to jump to the left or right She turns around to see the antiquated green monster bearing down on her. She tries to jump out of the way but slips on the slippery soles of her...cowboy boots. It is too late. She is struck by the merciless plow. Her frail body is thrown across the mall and into a snow bank where she is impaled on a sprinkler head, buried beneath the snowdrift, unseen by the unwary passersby. In all honesty, I must digress. No one has ever been killed by a CWU tractor. (We'll know when the thaw comes.) My hat is off to those intrepid fellows who get up early in the am. to clear our sidewalks for easy walking. Thanks guys. What does this morbid nar­ rative mean? The snow is still here. Everytime it snows in Ellensburg, someone at The Observer comes up with a brilliant idea "Hey guys, let's write a story about what to do in the snow." Lord, the originality overwhelms me. Let us forget for a moment that snow equates skiing, skating, inner-tubing, dumping your girlfriend's head in a snowdrift as a sign of your undy­ ing affection for her, (write this all down, guys). Instead of writing about what to do in the snow, let's write about what not to do. Footwear As attractive as cowboy boots are, hang 'em up during the winter. They're chic, they're comfortable, they're so Ellensburg. They're also damn­ ed dangerous. Let's watch Johnny walk on the ice with them. Let's watch Johnny take a posterior ride down a hill in them. I reccomend the usual ar­ ray of snow-boots, waffle stompers, or tennis shoes, (Nike work the best). Clothes For all you macho dudes who think that you're turning every girl's head by wearing your technicolor tropicana shorts, I have some sad news for you: we think you're nuts. If you want frost-bitten knees, fine, kill yourself for fashion. Me, I'll stick with Levi's. Sports Such sports as frisbee, swim­ ming, and nude outdoor bad­ minton are out. Try a game of freeze football, or cribbage maybe. Hygiene Shaving your head is definite­ ly out. So show some sympathy for those guys on the swim- team. Remember not to go out­ side to your morning classes with wet hair. The ice thatforms on your head can make you look like you're in your fifties.

Douglas Honors College By LAURI WALKER Staff Writer Reading literature, attending an extra class once a week, and then discussing what you have read — for the fun of it. Who would do something like that? Although you might not know anyone, there are people out there, special in the fact that they push themselves to do that extra bit of work. These in­ dividuals are members of the Douglas Honors College. The Douglas Honors College is a special school within the college of Letters, Arts and Sciences. The students involved in the college take part in a very difficult curriculum as well as maintain their other studies. The college is nine years old, having begun in 1978, and was named for Justice Douglas — as he was an im­ portant person in the area and in­ terested in education. Students are instructed by faculty members who volunteer their time. Thirty students are now taking part in the difficult four — year great — books curriculum. * According to Dr. Linda Marra, director of the Douglas College, students learn about the thought of western civilization. Students begin with the ancient greeks and pro­ gress gradually to more modern works. They choose books from a reading list that includes authors such as: Plato, Aristotle, and Shakespeare. The readings may be in the form of a play, part of a large novel, or even, depending on the size, an entire book. The student has one reading per week and attends a weekly class. Together, instructors and students discuss the literature. According to Marra, the program allows students to be independent in their thinking. "Students learn to be creative and independent decision makers," Marra said. Communication Professor Miles Turnbull began instructing for the Douglas College during the 1985-86 acedemic year. "It's an intellectual­ ly stimulating thing to do," Turn- bull stated. "You get a chance to meet a lot of fine young people," he added. Those students invited to join the prestigous honors college are those with top pre-college test scores and highschool grade averages which were earned in a college prepartory curriculum including foreign language, laboratory science and mathematics. At the end of the curriculum, students receive a special letter of accomodation. The Douglas Honors College sponsors a lecture series and the students can attend quarterly field trips. . Current Douglas Honors instruc­ tors include: Helmi Habib, Zoltan Kramar, Miles Turnbull, James Nylander, Connie Bennet, Don Guy, Kelton Knight, and Linda Marra, Director.

Helping Boyungs monitor the women are Ella Gierlsinski, and Sabrina Pendarvis. "Without their help I couldn't survive." states Boyungs. Killon does not participate Four nights a week, Monday through Thursday, a group of about 130 women between the ages of 45 and 87, walk around Nicholson Pavilion's field house. The women are part of a study be- in the actual monitoring of the sub- ing conducted by Central jects, instead she spends her time Washington University physical reading and analyzing the results. It education professors Jan Boyungs will be her analysis of Boyungs' and Erlice Killon. Boyungs is a fitness specialist and hopes to apply the findings to fitness prescriptions for older women. Kilton does the research into past studies of this nature and is quick to point out, "Men have had many studies done on them, but we don't know if they're applicable to women. The ti­ tle of the study is,"Functional Capacity Adaptation Patterns of Middle-Aged, Young-Old, Program," and has the large group of women walking between 6 and 7 p.m. in the field house. The walkers have their heart rates monitored before, during, and after the excer- cise. There are two groups of walkers, those that walk at 60 percent of work that will hopefully result in a published article. The women doing the walking do not mind being the subject of an ex­ periment. Boyungs states that after three weeks, "The attendance rate is still extremely good." "the women love the socialness of it." Killon states that the experiment is a, "pioneer study," because the few previous studies done in this area have centered around four or five subjects and were concucted by persons outside of the physical education field. With the jogging and aerobics craze beginning to wan, Boyungs believes, "Walking is becoming a viable form of exercise." "While you walk you can socialize," Boyungs added. Are you killing yourself to be thinner? By EILEEN MILBAUER Staff Writer Are you dying to be thin? Many college-age students today are. They have what is known as an eating disorder such as bulimia or anorexia. With the misconception that thin stands for beauty, many college men and women binge and purge to lose weight. Living in a society where so much emphasis is placed on youth and beaty, (beauty meaning thin), it is not surprising that eating disorders in young people are increasing. Students are becoming so obsessed with weight, fat, and body image, that they sacrifice their stamina, electrolyte balance, nutritional needs, and in essence, overall good health and sometimes their lives to replicate a magazine/media body image. There is help for people suffering from an eating disorder at Central. The Health and Counseling Center staff utilizes a triad approach to treat anorexic and bulimic persons.

Kathy Reed, ASCWU Secretary This vivacious young woman is an 18 year old freshman from Walla Walla, Washington and has been an outstanding employee of the BOD for this entire year. Kathy is a psychology major and is also very interested in music. She plays flute in the CWU Concert Band. Kathy has many other interests that she pursues both on and off campus. On campus she plays tennis and is a member of Central Christian Fellowship. When Kathy gets some extra time on the weekends, she goes to the Husky Cafe and bums rides from truck drivers to go to Bellevue and hit the mall. Kathy loves to shop. To be honest, Kathy really does not hitchhike rides to the mall with truckers, she just takes their trucks. Seriously folks, we are lucky to have her in the office. Kathy is a terrific employee and her valuable skills and warm personality are an asset to everyone in the office. Thanks Kathy, for being such a good sport! Promote student affairs and join a club By Karen Henninger Rep. to Clubs and Organizations Central Washington University has over sixty-five clubs and organizations on cam­ pus. Needless to say, with that many clubs and organizations available, there is one to suit each and every individual student. Central s clubs range from business organizations and fraternities (not the Greek kind like at the UW) to social groups for such things as beer and excitement, to serious student involvement in critical issues like Multiple Scleriosos and educational rights. A majority of the clubs and organizations come together in the ASCWU Club Senate. The Associated Students of Central have formed a Senate for the express purpose of allocating money to clubs and organizations. The allocation of money covers traveling expenses as well as providing a forum for discussion of club related activities and events. The Club Senate is chaired by the Director at Large, Representative to Clubs and Organizations. The three other officers, Vice Chairperson, Secretary, and Treasurer, are elected from the Club Senate population. The Club Senate meets every other week. Involvement in a club or organization is a great way to meet people, learn about the school, community issues, and events in the area. It can also provide the oppor­ tunity to explore a field of vocational interest. Take some time to get involved, and have some fun while you are doing it. If you have any questions about the many outstanding clubs and organizations on this campus, feel free to stop by the ASCWU office in SUB 214, and I'll be happy to talk with you. Here are just a few clubs that are here for you: Accounting Club Central Science Fiction and Fantasty Club Business and Economics Club Campus Ambassadors Delta Epsilon Chi Central Christian Fellowship Disabled Students Association Phi Beta Lambda Eta Sigma Gamma Rotoract Club Fashion Merchandising Student Association Self-Improvement Club Law and Justice Association Soccer Club Movimento Estudianti Chicano de Astlan Society of Physics Students Phi Alpha Theta Spotlight Drama Club Student Reading Club Students Returning after Time Away THIS IS A PAID ADVERTISEMENT.

Heaisohasalow turnover ratio that speaks for himself. He does a super job, I can't say enough about hifri." — Coach Dean Nicholson "himself' Central Wash- The ington University head basketball coach is talking about is point guard Joe Harris and the truth is that if his record-setting performances on the court and his coach and teammates didn't talk about him, no one would ever know about the shy, reserved leader. Harris, a 6-3 senior and two-year starter, has taken over as Central's career leader in assists with 336, 18 better than the record set by Reese Radliff 1982-83 and 1983-84 seasons. He also tied RadlifFs season assist record of 166 Saturday night against the University of Puget Sound. And with his eight assists Tuesday night against Simon Fraser he set the record at 174. "He works well on both ends of the court," said Nicholson. "His defense has improved and he scores when we need it." Harris, who is averaging 10.3 points per game, attributes his skill to the various parts he's had to play for the two community colleges he spent time at before arriving at Cen­ tral. "My first year at a community college (Spokane) I was a shooting guard and then at YVC I was number two guard and ended up playing point," explained Harris. "I've always dribbled well and I like passing the ball and getting assists." ACommunityafter lthough Spokane Falls College was his first stop graduating from Davis High School in Yakima, it wasn't his first choice. "I was going to go to the Universi­ ty of Idaho and play for Don Mon- son, but he didn't know if he was go­ ing to stay or go to Oregon, so for me it came down to the wire and I end­ ed up in Spokane." But, after a season at Spokane, where he was MVP, he decided that he didn't like the city and would feel more comfortable close to home. He explained that he's a home person at heart and likes to be near his friends and family. Yakima Community College was a likely choice. At YVC, he averaged 11.4 points per game and 5.9 assists and was a Region 3 all-star.

He has set new career and season assist records within the last five weeks. Stacy L. Bradshaw/The Observer JAM —Harris is also a scoring threat and entertainer on the court "It's been kind of hard, I'm shy. When it's needed I try to speak up. When we're down I take control and hope the team follows, because I can't yell at them." — Joe Harris must, it was only logical for Harris to spend his last two years close to home — Ellensburg. Besides, his older brother Bill played for Nicholson during the 1972-73 season. ut, being close to home B hasn't always meant good things for Harris. This summer, three days after classes let out in June, he was involved in a serious accident in Yakima that could have been detrimental to his basketball career. "I was going to play basketball and was driving my motorcycle down a gravel road," he explained. "Someone ran the yield sign at the intersection and I had a blind spot. I didn't have enough reaction time." As a result the motorcycle and rider slid across the intersection and Harris' knee bore the weight of the skid. "I was really lucky when I looked up after it had all happened, the motorcycle was under the car." "I thought that it was the end," Harris said. "I could see the bone through the hole in my knee when the doctor was stitching me up. He just looked at me and said I would be able to play ball again. I was relieved." Over the summer Harris under­ went arthroscopic knee surgery and then started rehabilitation. "We were hoping it wasn't anything serious," said Nicholson. "And it turned out to be nothing, nothing as serious as we would have thought. We were hoping it wouldn't carry into the season, because we felt he was going to have an outstanding senior season, and he has." Harris took on the responsibility of rehabilitation on his own by working out-lifting free weights, swimming and running under water. "After the accident this summer everyone (the team) was around playing, except me. I couldn't run or jump, so I'd shoot, but then my tim­ ing was off."

Thursday, Feb. 12,1987 The Observer Page 10 Michael and The Doctor embody charisma and class Calling The Shots By DAN STILLER Last weekend's NBA All-Star ex­ travaganza offered us not only the chance to get a glimpse of perhaps the finest athletes in the world, but it let us get up close and personal with two athletes whose qualities go beyond hang-time and hook shots. Michael Jordan and Julius Erv- ing. The new and the old. Charisma and class. In this era of high salaries and spoiled attitudes, these two attributes are tough to find in today's heroes. Charisma. The American Heritage Dictionary defines it as a quality attributed to those with ex­ ceptional ability to secure the devo­ tion of large numbers of people. The word fits no one better than Jordan. He has a court presence that pro­ vides excitement even when he isn't doing anything. Charisma goes beyond what you can do — it involves the way you do it and the way you handle it after you've done it Few athletes in recent memory have been able to provide us with this elusive quality. The names of Joe Namath and Muhammad Ali come immediate­ ly to mind as guys who have cap­ tured the public's fancy with their style and grace. But their charisma came more from what they said — can anyone forget Ali's 'float like a butteifly, sting like a bee" or Namath's' 7 like my women blonde and my John­ nie Walker Red" — than what they did. Jordan doesn't say much. He just does his acrobatic deeds and lets them speak for themselves. The only person I can think of who's comparable to Jordan in terms of charisma is Eddie Mur­ phy. Dr. J's quality is even rarer. The man just exudes class. He prac­ tically sweats it. Never has a man saying farewell to a job he has done so well for so long been met with more warmth and heartfelt support. Not only did the Doctor change the way the game is played — from one played below the rim to a game that is now played somewhere in the ozone — but he emerged as the game's spokesman. He has come to represent all that is good with the sport. He has shown that a black man can come from humble beginnings, use his extraordinary talents to become the tops in his profession, and still find time to put something back in­ to the game, his race, and the human species. Not only is he lov­ ed by fans and idolized by kids, but, in listening to the top young stars of the sport, it is obvious that he is revered by them for what he has done for the league and the game both on and off the court. As rare as these two qualities — class and charisma — are, we must be sure to appreciate Julius Erving while we still can, and to realize that Michael Jordan has something that goes beyond sheer ability. more about Harris shy, quiet Harris to come back to this season was the role of team leader. "I do my role. It was something I had to learn and pick up," he said. "It's been kind of hard, I'm shy. When it's needed I try to speak up. When we're down I take control and hope the team follows, because I can't yell at them." "He's got a quiet nature," said Nicholson, "but he's a leader when it's needed. He's done a great job and has the respect of his team­ mates." "I enjoy my teammates. They're the best I've ever gotten along with." Harris feels that the combination talent of the team and the fact that most of them were on last year's semi-final national team should make Kansas City a better trip. "Last year we did well and this year we must do better," he said. "We have the talent, whether we show it or not." "There's more tension now then there was at the beginning of the season. Now it's crunchtime. The other games didn't count, but now we can't afford losses. But the tenseness shouldn't be there because it's basically the same grouo."

After losing a dual meet to Simon Fraser, 34-13, on Friday the Wildcats hosted the WSC. By meet's end, the 'Cats had placed nine wrestlers in eight separate divisions. Though they did not win the overall team title. Simon Fraser won the title with 88 1/4 points, while Central placed se­ cond with 79. Three Wildcat wrestlers took first place in their divisions along with one second, four third and two fourth place finishes. Lenal Brinson (126) was nam­ ed the tournament's outstanding wrestler with three victories en route to his title win, a pin over Highline wrestler Choi An in a time of 3:51. Heavyweight Craig Danielson overwhelmed his opponents, first pinning Paul Briggs of Big Bend in 4:29, then destroyed Chris Schelde of Highline 19-0, before he defeated David Benenteau of Simon Fraser, 9-2. Mark Peterson took the 134 pound title by injury forfietover Adrian Rodriquez of PLU due to injuries Rodriquez suffered in his semifinal match. Petersen pinned his first two opponents on his way to the title. In the other Wildcat final at 142 Ken Sroka lost to Derrick Sych of SFU 4-3, with a riding time point scored after the match. In third and fourth place mat­ ches, Eric Idler (142) took third with an injury default victory Presented by ^ CWU Dining Services Are Fish Oils for You? Current studies show a relationship between the high seafood diet consumed by Eskimos and a lowered incidence of heart attack and stroke. Certain deep-water fish are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, the poly­ unsaturated fat components which are thought to lower serum cholesterol and triglycerides, and prevent blood from clotting so quickly, thus interfering with plaque formation in the arteries leading to the heart. American drug companies have quickly responded by marketing fish oil supplements in capsule form. Should you be using them? The American Heart Association is not convinced that they are effective or safe for long-term use, but they do advise us to make fish a regular part of our diets. Until more is known about fish oil, spend your money on fish and other low-fat, low-cholesterol foods instead of for expensive supplements. m 1 O .*s IT- GETTING A GRIP ON WRESTLING — Behrens earned a forfeit victory over Central wrestler Boh Behrens (knee brace) teammate Jeff Birbeck. takes on an opponent in recent action. over Carey Johnson of PLU.

On Sunday, PLU returned to Nicholson Pavilion and left on the short end of 28-15 score. After Steve Templeman defeated Dan Zuckowski 7-4 in the 118-pound bracket, the 'Cats ran off five straight victories.

And we came in ahead of everyone except Simon Fraser," said Central head coach Greg Ford of the tournament. "I think we are a better tourna­ ment team, and what are the districts—a tournament.

The 'Cats will be looking to stay undefeated, they are 9-0, against a tough WSU squad. "This will be another good and tough meet for us," assistant coach Lori Clark said. "Looking at the results of the UPS-WSU meet, if they (WSU) swim like they did then, it's going to be close." Central's women and men were on the road in Portland last Fri­ day for a meet against Oregon State and Lewis & Clark. The Central ladies handled the two Oregon schools easily, scor­ ing 86 points to OSU's 53 and L & C's 23. They were paced by season- long standout, and NAIA national champion, Sharon Wilson. Wilson, a junior, swam to her se­ cond school record in as many weeks. This time the new mark coming in the 200-yard butterfly. Wilson's time of 2:12.0 bettered the old mark of 2:13.46. "I'm surprised," Wilson said. "It's kind of scary, I almost can't imagine going faster. I don't know what is going to happen at districts. I set my good times at the beginning of the season, and now I've already reached them. It's kind of wierd. I just don't know what to think about it real­ ly" "I'm mystified," Clark said of Wilson. "I don't know what we're doing with her that we are not with anybody else. She just keeps getting faster, and I don't think she's done yet." Senior Tami Thorstenson is coming into good end-of-the- season form as well, winning the 200 and 500-yard freestyles. Her winning time in the 500 established a team best of 5:17.7 for this season. "She's swimming very good," said Clark. "She's another one who should keep getting faster leading up to nationals, unless she suffers some sort of horrible setback." Clark also noted that freshman Julie Zentner swam to a per­ sonal best in the 1650 freestyle. The Wildcat men scored a vic­ tory as well, completing their undefeated season at 10-0. The 'Cats topped OSU and L & C, 78 to 58 and 24, respectively. Centred was led by junior Ail- American Tom Harn's two vic­ tories. He claimed the 200-yard individual medley and the •500-yard freestyle. "We had two men nearly get new qualifying times as well," said Clark. "Mike Hall in the 200 butterfly and Curt Frye in the 200 breaststroke were real close." The 'Cat swimmers see their next action at the NAIA District 1 and 2 Championships next Thursday, Friday and Saturday at Lewis and Clark College. Cen­ tral's men will be going for their sixth straight district title, and the women for their third. In national top 16 times sent weekly to NAIA schools, CWU has 11 women with 25 of the top 16 times, covering 13 events.

The 'Cats picked up three wins in the past week to pad their district- leading record to 11-1. Central's overall mark stands at 22-5. CWU began the surge with an 88-75 home victory over Lewis- Clark State last Wednesday, follow­ ed by an 82-65 triumph at Pacific Lutheran Friday. After dropping a 70-67 non-district decision at Puget Sound Saturday, the Wildcats Please see Wrap page 22 '•'Mi I'.::-. ma 1 = af fg ® = e £ 3 3B# f 3 =S I I •J 1 H

Central now can secure the top seed in the District 1 playoffs with a pair of victories this weekend in Alaska. After playing a non-district con­ test at Whitman last night, the 'Cats travel north for games against Sheldon Jackson Saturday and Alaska-Juneau Monday. On Wednesday, Central closes out its regular-season home schedule against Whit worth. Central's first-half performance against Simon Fraser was near perfection. The Wildcats made 24 of 32 field goal attempts {six of seven from three-point range) and outre- bounded the' Clansmen 20-5 in sprinting to a 56-27 halftime lead. "That's about as well as we can play," CWU head coach Dean Nicholson said of the win, which avenges a 77-73 loss to Simon Fraser earlier this season. Rodnie Taylor echoed the sen­ timents of his mentor. "I feel it was the best we've played," Taylor said. "We took the game away from them." Taylor led the opening half erup­ tion with 18 points (nine of 10 from the field), seven rebounds and two steals. "Once I started to play well, it didn't take much to keep up the concentration," offered the 6-7 for­ ward, who finished the game with a game-high 22 points. While Taylor was a force inside, Joe Harris was a factor outside, drilling five three-pointers. With 14:51 left in the half, the Wildcat floor leader broke the school season assist mark of 166, set by Reese Radliff in the 1983-84 campaign. Harris now has 174 assists this season. Ron vanderSchaaf finished the game with 17 points and 13 re­ bounds. With the win, Central now has won 22 straight home games and 35 of its last 36. The Wildcats probably wished they were at Nicholson Pavilion Saturday as they had their 10-game winning streak snapped by the Log­ gers.. It marks the second time that UPS has defeated Central this iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiaiiiiiiiniiiiiiiHiiliiuitiiiiiiiiiiigiiiiiiiiijiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigitiiigiiiiiiiitiiiiiiiiiiiiiaiiiiiiiittiiiiiiiiimiiii & or J? season. In December, the Loggers downed the 'Cats, 79-68. VanderSchaaf paced CWU with 21 points, and Taylor added 18 points and 11 boards. Against PLU, a 42-25 first half showing gave the 'Cats all the breathing room that they needed, as they cruised to the road win over the Lutes. Strong shooting played a key role in the triumph. Central canned 33 of 58 from the field and 11 of 14 from the line. VanderSchaaf scored 17 points to lead four Wildcats in double figures. Harris, Taylor and Tom Pettersen added 10 points apiece. Dave Biwer led a .40-28 reboun­ ding edge with 10 caroms. Balanced scoring was part of the Wildcats' win over the Warriors from Lewis-Clark State. Biwer paced the attack with 17 points, followed by vanderSchaaf with 16, and Taylor and Harris with 11 each. — by Brian Zylstra The Dean's List Central head basketball coach Dean Nicholson lists his top five players ever to play at CWU: 1.

Sportswrap "We need to win all our remain­ ing games to have a shot at a playoff spot," said head coach Gary Frederick of the situation. Central defeated Lewis-Clark State, 75-47 last Wednesday at Nicholson Pavilion. After the game the Wildcats had fourth place all to themselves. CWU was one-half game ahead of Whitworth, and one game ahead of Western, a lead they would enjoy until Saturday. Fredrick was surprised with the easiness of the win, against the visiting Warriors. "They have been playing well lately, but this was their fourth game in six days and they were probably tired," Frederick said. "We had rebounding problems early in the game, accounting for much of L-C's success, but we came back to rebound better and play better defense in the second half." Lewis-Clark State overcame an early 6-0 'Cat lead to go up 19-16. That stretch apparently woke up Central as they outscored L-C 20-6 to lead 36-25 at halftime. Ahead 44-33, Central put the game away with a 14 point run. Kristi Wilson scored five of the 14 points and Kathy Alley had four. Wilson led in scoring with 15 points. Alley and Lanette Martin added 12 and Kristelle Arthur scored 10 to go along with a team-leading 14 rebounds. Natalie Long came up with 10 boards and Wilson, eight, as Cen­ tral came on strong in the later stages of the game in the reboun­ ding department, outrebounding their opponents, 57-46. Mary Ann McCord had another fine play making game, dishing off for five assists and coming up with a couple of steals. Pacific Lutheran was Central's sixth straight district victim. After a relatively slow start, Central methodically took con­ trol, building a 14-point cushion into halftime and an 18 point lead at the end for an 81-63 win. Four players scored in double figures for the Lady Wildcats. Martin led the way with 17 points, Long added 15. Arthur and Wilson had 14 and 12 points, respectively. Wilson also led Cen­ tral with eight rebounds. CWU played the PLU game without starting point guard Mc­ Cord, who was ill. In her absence, Alley drew a start and responded with nine points and four assists. The Lutes outboarded Central by two, but the Wildcats had 12 fewer turnovers. CWU also shot a solid 45 percent from the field, in­ cluding eight-of-14 by Martin and seven-of-11 from Arthur. "We started out slow and weren't getting the shots that we wanted," Frederick said. "But after the first six minutes we started to pick things up." Frederick's game plan was to run the taller Lutes and apply defensive pressure on their guards. CWU was able to force 27 WORD PROCESSING-LOW RATES Mail-outs, Reports, Term Projects, Theses, Resumes. Spiral report/ Book binding, and copy service too! iMfiCTfifari CALL NOW! !

With the loss, Central 9-5 in district action, is in a virtual tie with Whitworth for the fourth and final spot in the race for the district playoffs. The Wildcats are 17-7 on the season.

Sportswrap despite that, and were down by one point with about two minutes left, but that was when they came up with the crucial offensive re­ bounds." Western outrebounded Central by a 50-29 count. Wilson came away with a team-leading nine boards and 18 points. Arthur scored 16 and Martin chipped in with 13. "Lately we haven't been doing a good job on the boards. Not like we did earlier in the season," Frederick claimed. Central has relied on a balanc­ ed scoring attack. "Usually four players score about equally, but against Western, we only got good offen­ sive games from three," Frederick said. Central was on the road with St. Martin's yesterday. The Wildcats close out their regular- season home schedule against Puget Sound Saturday at 7 p.m. in Nicholson Pavilion and con­ clude their season at Seattle Thursday. — by Joel Lium r HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY • Special • 2 Steak and Lobster Dinners & 1/2Carafe of Wine for only $20.00 at Hi Way Grille Valentine's Day only 111 W 8th ph. 962-9977 STUDENT'S DAY Every Monday & Tuesday $3.00 off haircuts (no coupon needed) CALL FOR AN APPOINTMENT Marketing Club Coupon good through the end of the quarter. i Main Attraction!
