The bserver CENTRAL WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY APRIL 16, 1987 VOLUME 4, ISSUE NO. 19 SCAN lines subject to hacker fraud Illegal use of system is state-wide problem By LIONEL G. CAMPOS Staff Writer Recently, Central's Telecom­ munication Department issued a memorandum to all depart­ ments. The memorandum sent concerned itself with State Con­ trolled Access Network (SCAN) toll fraud, and included the following paragraph... Some departments have recently experienced substantial fraud on individual SCAN authorization numbers. Our In­ ternal Auditor is investigating these abuses in cooperation with state SCAN authorities and operating telephone companies. In the letter's closing, all departments were urged to review their monthly SCAN reports, and to report any suspected fraud usage im­ mediately. Bill Tusken, Central's Telecommunication manager, said this kind of illegal usage of the SCAN lines is not limited to Central alone, but is a problem in state agencies all across Washington. The State Control Access Net­ work provides a cheaper means of calling long distance. Instead of having to pay normal rates for direct distance dialing (DDD), the state provides the SCAN lines, which are 25 percent less expensive. Tusken said authorized per­ sonnel can get access to SCAN lines by either applying for a phone line which directly taps into the network, or by obtain­ ing remote access authorization which allows access into the net­ work from remote areas outside the agency. It is the illegal use of the "remote access" feature which has prompted the investigation. Tusken said somehow unauthorized people have got­ ten hold of these numbers and are abusing the system. Tusken said no one has been caught yet, but said the auditor would pursue both criminal and civil actions to get back any money which covered posts in­ curred by the illegal use of the SCAN lines. The State Telecommunica­ tions Office in Olympia first alerted Cental's department. Tusken said state printouts showed the illegal abuses. Il­ legally used access numbers on the printout were then im­ mediately cancelled in order to prevent further abuses with those same numbers. Ron Kappes, of the state of­ fice, said the network system is being reviewed and changes in the system are being considered to make the system more secure from hackers and other abusers. Tusken said he does not know how the offenders might have gotten the access numbers. However, he said Central's In­ ternal Auditor is working in con­ duction with the State Attorney General's Office, the Washington State Patrol, and with the State Telecommunica­ tions Office and feels confident the offenders will be caught. 30W rtERMAM Public assistance program may be overhauled By NOLA HUTCHISON Staff Writer Gov. Booth Gardner has a new plan for the state's public assistance program, incor­ porating education, job-training, and job-placement with day care, medical coverage, and financial management services. The proposed Family In­ dependence Program has passed through the House of Represen­ tatives and is presently being considered by the Senate. Concerned about the move­ ment in Olympia is Central's Student Educational Rights Caucus, a campus organization formed nearly a year ago by a group of active, low income women. "We are skeptical, but hopeful," SERC Vice President Kari Baldwin said about Gard­ ner's plan. The Family Independence Program is designed to replace the current program, Aid to Families with Dependent Children. Gardner's system would be mandatory for all peo­ ple in the state who now receive public assistance. The welfare cycle will continue as long as we have the current system. — Patricia Wentz sss The SERC is in favor of a reformed public assistance pro­ gram for Washington. "The welfare cycle will continue as long as we have the current system," said SERC President Patricia Wentz. "We need an alternative." However, the caucus does view Gardner's FIP with some suspicion. The students believe the bill needs to be worded more precisely, that it should be a voluntary program, and that there is a strong need for more emphasis on higher education. According to SERC, the vagueness in the wording may cause disagreements when it is interpreted. The students believe making the program mandatory will delete some of the positive aspects of the pre­ sent program. There are too many individual needs for one program to sufficiently meet, ac­ cording to Wentz. "If someone didn't comply with the new pro­ gram, all that person's benefits would be lost. The conse­ quences are too strong." The caucus doesn't believe that Gardner's plan gives enough promotion to higher education. According to Baldwin, there may not be enough good-paying jobs or educational resources to provide adequately for everyone on the program. Both Wentz and Baldwin maintain that higher education is the only way Out of poverty. Baldwin said she believes that many low income people need an incentive to get off welfare and into the work force. The new program is designed to help do this. But SERC warns that low income people also need to be motivated to think beyond minimum wage jobs. The caucus is concerned that the pro­ posed program will not provide enough opportunity for higher education, and consequently will not help people reach beyond minimum wage employment. Both Wentz and Baldwin agree that the movement to reform the present system is a positive step. It is an innovative move for Washington, since most other states have not at­ tempted this sort of reform. Gardner's plan directly cor­ relates with a similar federal program currently under con­ sideration in Washington, D.C. SERC, with about 30 members, is involved with other concerns. The caucus serves as a support group for single parents who are balancing full schedules. They are behind the creation of low cost day-care ser­ vices and are supporting the ad­ dition of dental care to public assistance. A "phone tree" is under operation through the student organization, to help Olympia hear the voices of Eastern Washington residents. Word of new legislation and current hap­ penings in Olympia are phoned to Wentz. She then makes calls to several associates and each of these people call two friends, and so on. Eventually, Olympia receives feedback from this por­ tion of the state. If you are concerned about Gardner's new public assistance program, want to know more about SERC or how to become part of it, call Patricia Wentz, evenings at 925^4725, or Kari Baldwin, days at 962-6999.

fc? •' V V-7 •' ' _ Page 2 — The Observer Thursday, April 16, 1987 . /- :7 ^ "" - St - Conservativism means small student voice Today a professor saidthat a comment I made in class was conservative. What does this word "conservative"mean? It is most closely associated with the concepts of resisting change and supporting tradi­ tion. The reason I find this interesting is that I have found what I believe to be a causal connection between the people who con­ trol this university and this attitude of conservativism. The causal connection, and this is easy to understand, is power. Let's examine the situation where a group of individuals control a large body. If the power to make decisions and thus to control the direction of the body is yours, then, naturally, you would not support any changes that would eliminate any of this power. If, in addition to this, tradition has always held you to be in authority you would, naturally, support that tradition. This then would tend to promote conser­ vativism. It is easy to see from my example that I believe that "a group of individuals" refers to our administration. It also follows that "the body" corresponds to our students. And this brings me to my next point. Why are there so many conser­ vative students? It is obvious that the students of this school, comparatively speaking, have close to no say about the future of this university. There is lots of evidence of this. The administration, namely Wendell Hill and Dave MacAuley, have successful­ ly prevented the students from having a worthwhile book exchange. Other administration dictate to the stu­ dent government what is going to be done with an empty room in the SUB, which is our building. The leaders of this universi­ ty speak for hours at a Board of Trustees meeting about the importance of assessments assessments of faculty, students and administration. But these people won't give students the support needed for even a somewhat comprehen­ sive assessment of professors with our faculty evaluation program. It is obvious why the administration is conservative, but why are students? The students of Western Washington Univer­ sity own their bookstore, which they fought for and purchased a couple of years ago. The students at Eastern Washington University control so much more money than our students that they donate $450,000 to their football program. The differences between the other two state universities (the University of Washington and Washington State University) and us are so great that they can't be listed here. Yes, "conservative" is you're a student. It is parallels oppression, a bad word if bad where it DUANE LARUE Staff Writer Do you think Central students should have a larger say in decisions thai the CWU Administration is currently making?

Thursday, April 16,1987 The Observer — Page 3 Inefficient training results in inefficient services C . * . ' ' ' I - , , - - ..V'V'V.,- No student likes to wait in lines, but the truth of the matter is, there are few ways around them. The problem, however, is compounded when systems are inefficient and people aren't properly trained. The worst time of the academic quarter to wait in lines is almost over-that is the registration and ad/drop period. But this quarter saw some of the slowest lines for these processes this year, and all because the people behind the counters not pro­ perly trained. I tried to beat the rush and pay my tuition in full before the deadline. I, of course, stood in a long, wavering line to do so. When it was finally my turn, the woman behind the counter pulled up my file on the compute/ screen and told me I owed around $350. "I want to pay this in full," I reminded her. "Uh huh," she agreed. "Three hundred and fifty dollars." I paid it, but I knew I'd soon receive a billing for the rest of what I owed. So I got back in line the first few days of the new quarter. This time the line was twice as long, and twice as slow. A s I approached the front, I realized why. The people at the computer screens were be­ ing trained, and by only one person, I might add. As each person approached the counter with their individual problems, the person helping them would have to wait for the assistance of that one trainer to help them with their new encounter. Several students were turned away, never receiv­ ing an answer to their question. I approached the counter and said that I wanted to pay my housing in full, and also check to see that my tuition was paid. A ndthen I stood. Finally the trainer came around and helped her trainee to call up my file. Now the ordeal began. Could they check on my tuition and housing all at one time? Did I have some money on credit? Could I pay it all on one check? How do you get from one screen to the next? The trainer asked as many of these questions as the trainee. The questions continued, but luckily all of mine got answered. As I stood and waited I heard stu­ dent after student get turned away with an answer of "I'm sorry, I just don't know. You'll have to comeback later." I didn't blame them for spitting back some unkind phrases, after waiting in line for an hour to 45 minutes. I know that workers come and go, and I have no problem with the idea of training new employees instead of hiring already experienced people. Sometimes it's just not possible to get experienc­ ed help. But why train them on my time? Each quarter the staff at Mitchell Hall must see the same kinds of lines and know what to expect by now. The new employees should have been trained weeks ago in expectation of what lay ahead and in order to be able to process us through smoothly and efficiently. Students are known to complain about any number of circumstances that could not be fore­ seen or prevented. However, in this case I think a little foresight based on past experience on the part of the administration could have saved us all a great deal of time and despair. JULIE SEIBERT Editor Pavilion caters To the Editor, This letter concerns the closure of the Pavilion to CWU student and faculty use in preference to those persons atten­ ding conferences held here on campus. There are three questions to which I would like a response: First, why are there no posted an­ nouncements of closures — the times and durations — either during or prior to closures? Second, it's my understanding that the Nicholson Pavilion was built and is currently funded to provide service to CWU students and faculty. Yet it has recently been turned over entirely to visitors of the convention center during their stay. Two vivid examples come to mind: the Special Olympics winter quarter and more recently the high school drill teams which participated in a state-wide competition held here at Central. These are worthy events and this campus provides a good location for them. What I don't understand is why they cannot co-exist with normal use of the facilities. For example consider the recent drill team competition. The entire pavilion was closed to CWU student and faculty use. What is the reasoning behind clos­ ing the swimming pool, racquetball courts and weight room to faculty and student use during the competition and also on Sunday after the competition was over? Finally, the conference center is cur­ rently used as a recruiting tool to enhance future enrollment at CWU — no secret to anyone — but when these efforts toward the future offend, discourage and generally reduce pre­ sent student enthusiasm toward the school, the result will be ah equally, if not greater, negative effect on future enrollment. I'm not alone when I ask this ques­ tion, "Is this institution more interested in maintaining or increasing enrollment than in serving its current students and faculty?" It's academic standards as well as budget allocations make me wonder, and I am not alone in asking these questions! V.:- , Signed, William R. Gosiak ticket unfair To the Editor: Some of this school's policies and rules seem to be just another means of absorbing the student's money! I would specifically like to address "supposed" parking violations. On Sunday, March 15, at 9:12 p.m., I received a parking violation. I had parked in front of the In­ structional Building in a handicapped stall. I suppose that some of the blame could be sent my way for my ignorance in this matter. I did assume that it was the school's policy not to ticket campus parking lots on the weekends. I feel that the school is taking advantage of the students and the issuance of this ticket served no justice, but instead serves as an example of the "legal" greed of this institution. I feel that this ticket was an oppor­ tunistic measure to take advantage of an obviously predictable situation. Anyone could have guessed that the already in­ adequate Library parking lot would be overcrowded during final's week. Another reason for injustice is the fact that the handicapped stalls in front of the Instructional Building could serve no purpose, since it is closed on Sun­ days. The objective of a handicapped stall is to provide easy and close access. But this objective is not served on a Sun­ day in front of a closed building. The only building open at that hour is the Library and the "violation" occurred at the far end of the parking lot. In addi­ tion, the Library closes at 10 p.m., and I was cited at 9:12 p.m. When all of these factors are taken in­ to consideration, don't you think that this school could apply their rules and laws so that justice is served? Laws are rules that keep our behaviors and ac­ tions in step with set social definitions of legality. But this school seems to have forgotten that laws are situational and that justice is only served when the system keeps this in mind. This is what is called fairness. Too bad CWU's Safe­ ty Department forgot this definition. Maybe they can put my fine to good use and buy a dictionary! Signed, feisty Knutsen J-.Ti Christians impose beliefs on reader To the Editor: Recently I have become very distress­ ed with the attitudes of many in­ dividuals on this campus, and in society in general. I refer to Christians. It seems to be a fad right now and granted, we are currently controlled by a system of government that advocates this new "pure", born-again move­ ment. We have a president who thinks we can solve this nation's problems with prayer in public schools. We have Christian missionaries overseas attemp­ ting the purification of "underdeveloped" nations, stripping them of what culture they have left. I .have nothing against providing food, housing and medicine to those in need, however, I do not tolerate the revoking of native values in exchange for food, in the name of God. I could continue on the national level, but now that I have ruffled some feathers of Observer readers, I'll con­ tinue on a more local level. Christians on this campus take it upon themselves to assert on me their views and I'm damn sick of it. The reason I left the residence halls was to get away from in­ dividuals who were "shoulding" me about why I need to join CCF (Campus Christian Fellowship) and other such organizations. I do believe in God and my religious beliefs are deeply personal and I don't want others telling me how to think. There is nothing against fellowship and if people feel so inclined to join on their own, so be it. The Christian recruiting is not only direct, but indirect as well. When I returned for this quarter, I was sitting in the SUB reading my newspaper and there were two gentlemen standing next to me having a rather loud conversation about how wonderful. Jimmy Swaggart was. Needless to say, I put up with that until someone sat at the piano and started singing a song about the second coming of Jesus. At that point I left. Here's yet another example. My parent's new neighbors who call themselves Christian built part of their house on our property. As they were pouring the forms, my mother went out with a tape measure and showed the woman the encroachment. The woman said, "It's all an illusion and it's in God's hands." Well neighbor, our legal action, and the jackhammers are not illusion. Their Bible must read, "Love thy neighbor and build your house on their property." Again, I could go on, but I've made my point. Many Christians are selfish, self-righteous hypocrites, and I'm sick of them. At this point, however, it may be futile to say that probably the majori­ ty of Christians are not like that, but in my situation, the actions of the bad outweigh those of the good. I have many friends who are Christians and they are genuinely good people, and I am sure I have many more Christian friends than I think. Well, until they read this anyhow.

Page 4 — The Observer Thursday, April 16, 1987 NEWS Changing of the guard for Business school Dr. Danton steps down as dean By JAMES P. LUIDL Staff Writer The Central Washington University faculty is experienc­ ing a changing of the guard, as Dr. Lawrence Danton, will be resigning after serving six years as the dean of the School of Business and Economics. When Dr. Danton resigned from his position, Central put together a committee to find his replacement. Forty-five people applied for the position of B&E dean. Finalists for the position in­ clude Dr. James W. Seal, dean of business administration at the University of Portland Dr. Keith Lantz, head of the accoun­ ting and finance department at Eastern Michigan University Dr. Dale J. Hockstra, dean of business administration at the University of Evansiville and Dr. Gerald L. Cleveland, pro­ fessor of accounting and former dean of the school of business at Seattle University. So far, the field has been narrowed down to two candidates. The selection committee is headed by David Lygre, assis­ tant dean of Letters, Arts and Sciences, and Gary Heesacker of the accounting department. There are seven other members on the committee from the schools of business, accounting, economics, history and business education. It has been their job to pick the candidate for the job. According to Lygre, the com­ mittee is looking for a candidate with a doctorate in business and economics or an appropriate area relating to B&E. They would like someone who has ad­ ministrative experience and has experience in the academic or business world or both. Lygre said that the committee has no preference between the two. As it turned out, all of the finalists have academic backgrounds. They are also be­ ing judged on their teaching ability and potential skills in fun- draising for the school of business. * In addition to the interviews, Heesacker and Lygre visited the campuses of the finalists to check into the background of the finalists and to find out if thier interviews were truly represen­ tative of the finalists. Lygre said that they were pleased with the visits and that their investiga­ tions did not turn up any major discrepencies with the inter­ views. All of the finalists visited the Central campus and the exten­ sion programs at Lynnwood and Normandy Park. They also had a talk with Vice President Ed Harrington. The committee will make their final recommendations to President Garrity and Vice President Harrington. The heads of other departments will be allowed to give their opinions in the next week. Harrington will make the final decision in about two weeks. The current dean, Dr. Lawrence Danton said that the next dean will have a lot of responsibilities. In addition to any teaching duties the new dean may have, he will also have to work on getting the School of Business and Economics accredited by the American Association of Col­ legiate Schools of Business. Danton said that this is as good as having an underwriter'sseal of approval for the department. "The accreditation means that what we claim about the school is true," said Danton. The new dean is also going to have to raise one million dollars to go through the process of ac­ creditation, a process that is go­ ing to take three to four years. Danton has been with the University since 1967. He was the chairman of the department for seven years, and then taught for six years and, for the last seven years, he has served as the dean of the School of Business and Economics. Danton has seen much ac­ complished during his teenure at Central. He has seen the department grow from 300 students and eight faculty in 1967, to 2,000 students and 42 faculty in 1987. . The department has proved to be one of the best business schools in the Northwest and has seen a faculty that has been involved in much research and publication. Danton said that he will be retiring from teaching at about the same time that the accredita­ tion process will be coming to an end and that the school cannot be changing leadership in mid­ stream. He is stepping down so that the new dean can see the entire process through from beginning to end. V.V«Vr . . JM GONE FOR GOOD? — No. Retiring Dean Lawrence Danton will continue to teach at Central. Danton has belonged to many organizations including 18 years as an officer on the Foundation of the Board of Trustees, 17 years with the Small Towns In­ stitute, six years as the president of the Chamber of Commerce and ten years on the Board of Credit for the CWU Federal Credit Union. Danton gave years of dedication to Central Profile HELPING OUT — Danton's duties include advising and counseling students. By VICTORINA MATA Staff Writer Each year the ASCWU Board of Directors presents a special recognition award to an in dividual who has made a con­ tribution to the university. On commemoration night, March 6, 1987, the third annual ASCWU Prominent Figure Award was presented to Dr. Larry Danton, dean of the school of business and ecomics. Danton has been a major con­ tributor to the University and the surrounding community for the past 20 years. Since his arrival at Central in 1967, Danton has been a part of the expansion of the Depart­ ment of Business Administra­ tion. Starting with a modest 300 students, the department ex­ panded to what is now the school of business and economics, boasting an enroll­ ment of over 2,000 men and women. He was chairman of the Department for over seven years, professor for six years, and a dean -for seven years. After seven years as the Dean, Danton has announced his retirement from the office. Plan­ ning to return to teaching, Dan­ ton said he will remain in the classroom, "as long as it's fun." For Danton, receiving the Pro­ minent Figure award is the high point in his career so far. "I'm especially honored to receive the award from the students at Cen­ tral, because the students are the most important people here," Danton said. Danton has been a member of the CWU Board of Trustees Foundation (Central's ruling body), for the past 19 years, ser­ ving as president or vice- president a member of the Western Association Collegiate School of Business (WACSB) for six years, and a council member for the CWU Credit Union for ten years.

V Overseas travel no longer fantasy for students By NICK BEAUMONT Staff Writer With tuition and fees and the like tak­ ing such a large portion of our income and our parents hard-earned dollars, the chance to travel overseas is finan­ cially beyond most of us. For hard-core travel seekers, there is one way to get to foreign soil, with the possibility of mak­ ing some money to add to our quick-to- empty pockets and purses. Being able to stay overseas while working, as well, is a rare prospect, but may be easier to achieve than you think. The International Programs Of­ fice located in Barge 308 has informa­ tion on many opportunities for student travel, providing a wide range of pro­ grams for anyone interested. As part of the program of the Overseas Development Network, Inc., (ODN) students from CWU and across the United States are being invited to in­ tern in Appalachia, working on grassroots community projects. The ODN is a Harvard-based consor­ tium of campus groups which has as its goal the education of the American public about issues of global develop­ ment, both domestic and in the Third World. What the ODN sees as most impor­ tant is individual participation in development, and this is why the Ap­ palachia summer internship program is being run. For an eight-week period beginning in mid-June, students who apply and are accepted will be given the chance to become directly involved in communi­ ty efforts and projects. The main efforts will be rural development, and the in­ ternships are most suitable for students in health-related fields and education. One project, among other, will in­ volve developing facilities for cleaning water and toxic wastes. The ODN seeks people with no special skills or technical knowledge, only those wishing to learn about and from another culture, an interest in helping others, and a desire to share their con­ cern and commitment to development. Another offering from International Programs is the Council on Interna­ tional Educational Exchange's (CIEE) work camps programs, where volunteers will be given free room an board for their labor in community pro­ jects. The camps last from two to fours weeks. The Eastern and Western European work camps will be filled with volunteers from around the world, as they have been for the last 30 years, since the camp program began. Volunteers will work on projects to benefit the communities in which the camps are located. Again, no special skills or knowledge are needed. English is spoken at most camps. The exceptions are France and Spain where the native language is used. Past programs have seen volunteers involved with the following: castle restoration, excavation, community work, and agricultural and ecological programs. Aside from the personal commitment, the CIEE asks for $100, and that volunteers pay their own air­ fare. Another program offering of interest may be the CIEE Work Abroad pro­ gram, which gives students a chance to work and travel in Britain, Germany, Ireland, France, New Zealand and Costa Rica. The Work Abroad program is now in its eighteenth year, and makes it much easier for college and university students to get overseas by reducing the usual amount of "red tape." Applicants must be 18 years old. The CIEE program fee is $82 and accepted applicants must pay their own airfare, although CIEE has ways to get a plane ticket at lower cost. Information about these programs, and many others, can be found at the International Programs office, or the of- fice can he reached hy railing 9 WSL works hard in Olympia lltll By JEANINE GODFREY Staff Writer The state board of the Washington Student Lobby (WSL) met last Sunday in Olympia to discuss the status of bills related to higher education.

Thursday, April 16, 1987 •HRBMnHnin The Observer — Page 7 ASCWU forges ahead with book exchange By DUANE LaRUE Staff Writer ASCWU continues to push forward the book exchange. Mike Little, spearheading the exchange program, spoke with Ezzat Mina, Internal Auditor, and Teresa Kulik, Assistant At­ torney General for CWU, and was told that the ASCWU would be liable for books if' 'the SUB were to burn down.'' Also, Little was told there would be a liability problem with holding money for students. He was also told there would be a host of other minor pro­ blems with the exchange program. In a meeting sometime after this, Lit­ tle and Duane LaRue, former BOD vice-president, became aware of a letter from Dave MaCauley, manager of the University Store, and his boss, Wendell Hill. This letter was sent to Bill Alison and eventually got to Ezzat Mina. This letter presented a list of "causes and concerns'' Hill and MaCauley had concerning the book exchange. The first comment expressed their concerns about students being able to buy and EXPERIENCED PHOTOGRAPHERS NEEDED Must be: •able to complete one or two assignments per week •deadline oriented •experienced in some darkroom skills, or willing to learn Contact the Observeroffice, Bouillon 225,963-1026. sell books outside the University Store when the "cost of obtaining the text book has been borne by the store." While some of the concerns were legitimate, Little said, "Most of them (the problems), had already been taken care of." One of the other considerations was, "Is the SUB administration considering a lower rent for the University Store because fewer books would be sold by the store?" Lastly, the letter closed with, "We can readily understand and ap­ preciate the motives for starting the ex­ change, but we believe it may cause considerable problems for the students ASCWU hopes to help." Mike Little is not planning to give up the idea, he said. Speaking with Lyle Ball, professor of Business Law, Little was told there was no real problem with holding books. Any responsibility problems could be handled with a release form similiar to that used for the Ware Fair, which also requires the use of the SUB for all its booths and the sell­ ing of its merchandise. little said that the ASCWU will seek outside legal advice regarding the book exchange. He would also like to speak with Teresa Kulik again, but without the presence of outside administration.

Thursday, April 16,. 1987 SCENE Drama Department plays 'Deadly Games By PAMELA SMITH Staff Writer Kicking off Central's spring quarter drama productions was ' "The Deadly Game,'' a play stu­ dent directed by Barbara Ver­ zola. The two act play was a bizarre and witty production about a traveling salesman, who after getting stuck in a snowdrift, shows up at the home of a retired judge played by Marva Holmes. She anxiously extends her hospitality and insists the salesman stay the night. Little did he realize, he showed up on the wrong night. Since retiring, the judge and a pair of also retired lawyers, played by Anneliese Childress and Aaron Berg, get together in her home for dinner and a mock trial. Her home is transformed into a courtroom and the trio tries the most famous cases of history. This time, however, they struck luck the salesman was put on trial for murder. The salesman, played by Ted Eudy, drank heavily during the course of what he thought to be a game. Unfortunately, he was the only one who took it lightly, the others could not have been more serious. Too late, he caught on to the reality that he would die if determined guilty of his "crime." The judge found him guilty and sentenced him to hang to death by the town hangsman, who just happened to also be staying at the judges home. "The Deadly Game" began a little slow but the second act sped up and was more cap­ tivating. It contained several twists but was still a little too predictable. The acting and the set, however, were professional and enjoyable. Director Barbara Verzola, said she was pleased with how it went and relieved it was over because she had been working on it for months. Verzola, a senior, is one of the few students each year who get a chance to direct a play. She put in her pro­ posal over a year ago. Verzola telt especially lucky because of the cast. They were supportive and dedicated, she said. Only one big crisis arose WHERE WERE YOU ON THE NIGHT OF...? — Anneliese Childress questions Ted Eudy in the CWU Drama Department's production of "The Dead­ ly Game." when an actor quit one week before opening night, but CWU drama production veteran, Brian Kooser, was able to gtep right in, memorize the lines and Duerrenmatt, finished its run play the part.

UP WITH PEOPLE — Henry Moreau is up on joining this goodwill group in July. ...r-'i':. . •, V\ - : By LAURI WALKER Staff Writer Two years ago Henry Moreau went to an Up With People con­ cert at McConnel Auditorium. Who would have thought that Moreau, now 21, would be leav­ ing on tour with the group in Ju­ ly? When Up With People per­ formed in Ellensburg Moreau had little idea he would some­ day be touring the world pro­ moting peace and goodwill with this group. However, while most of the crowd sat tapping their toes and snapping their fingers, Moreau thought about the idea behind Up With People and what a neat experience it would be to become part of the group. During intermission, Up With People staff members invited all thse interested in becoming part of the group backstage to talk with cast members. Moreau, along with approximately 50 others, decided to find out more. After speaking with two cast members, Moreau ws inter­ viewed by a staff manager. The interview went , well and he was encouraged to send in an applia- tion. The application included health and dental records, letters of recommendation and a letter based on why he wanted to become involved with Up With People. There are over 10,000 ap­ plicants for Up With People, but only 500 were chosen. Much of the hiring process is based on the applicants personality, as Up With People members do a lot more than entertain. "Only a small part of the group is actual singing and dancing," Moreau said. Up With People members are encouraged to learn all aspects of management and to become involved with each and every community they perform for. Up With People performs at major events such as the Olym­ pics, the Superbowl and the Rosebowl, but two-thirds of the work is done by the group centers that stress community involvement by performing at prisons, hospitals, schools and nursing homes. The group will travel to ap­ proximately 450 cities in which all cast members will stay with host families. This gives the group the opportunity to learn first hand about the different cultures and communities they will be perfroming for. Moreau is looking forward to meeting all the new people and experienc­ ing the different cultures. "I'm excited to be a representative for America. I think a lot of people have a stereotypical view of Americans being snobish. I want others to know that there are a great many Americans who care and love others no matter where they are from." Funding will play a major role in Moreau's leaving with Up With People in July. Although group members stay with host families there are a number of other costs to deal with. Tuition for the group is $7,300 and this covers the cost of travel, food and costumes. But Moreau must budget for everything from souveniers to new toothbrushes. Please see~ Moreau page 14
Thursday, April 16, 198? The Observer — Page 11 I s:-.' By DAISY STEELE Staff Writer One of the most exquisite and original art traditions in the world is being taught here at Central. Professor Sakae Nozu, a visiting professor from Shimane University in Japan is teaching a special course on Japanese calligraphy. Nozu, well known in the art circles in Japan as Nozu Soun, exhibits his works annually throughout Japan. His works have sold in Japan and in China as well. "It's the spirit of the soul that brings out the art," explains Nozu. "What the spirit is feeling is what is reflected in the calligraphic work. If the spirit is calm it is reflected in the work. If the spirit is distracted or emotionally upset, the work doesn't go well." Hours must be spent practicing calligraphy in order to understand the proper order of writing as well as the aesthetic properties of balance, rhythm, vitality, contrast and continuity- features which calligraphy shares with other art forms such as painting, music and dance. Calligraphy ses the simple materials of an inkstone, and inkstick, a bowl of water, a brush and white rice paper to create a quality piece of work. "The quality doesn't lie just in the materials but in the soul of the creator and his talent. Calligraphy isn't just a symbol of communication between two people by going beyond the meaning of the characters represented on paper, it becomes a work of art," says Nozu. Nozu began his calligraphic studies in elementary school. Inspired by one of his teachers he became committed to studying and practicing his calligraphy all through his academic years. While at the Literature and Science University in Hiroshima, the head of the department of Japanese history noticed his work and advised him to promote his study of calligraphy after becoming a history teacher. Invited by Central to teach a Japanese calligraphy class, Nozu tries to instill the same ideas and teaching in his American students s he does with his Japanese students. He finds American students honest, active and happy. Nozu is proud of the tremendous pro­ gress he feels his students have made in just .a few lessons and is looking for­ ward to seeing how his students pro­ gress throughout the quarter. He enjoys being around all students and says they provide him with youth and vitality. After receiving his degree to teach history, Nozu attended the Tokyo University of Art where he studied calligraphy and calligraphy history. As a result he has been in charge of calligraphy at the educational faculty of Shimane University since 1969. Nozu is Please see Nozu page 12 EASTER- YES! to Life In my own life I kept coming apart..

Enrichment Program survives first year By EILEEN MILBAUER Staff Writer The first year of the Enrichment Pro­ gram at Alford-Montgomery Hall is almost over and through a lot of blood, sweat and tears, it was successful. The program enabled students to get the most out of academic and social ex­ periences at Central. The program sponsored trips to Seat­ tle for a tour of the underground city and to Tacoma for Big Time wrestling. Another big event that was a result of this program was "Al-Monty Awareness Week." During this week, professors from different departments came out to the hall and gave interesting talks about their specialty. An­ thropology, Environmental Studies and Political Science were a few topics covered. What did these freshmen have to do to get into the program? They"paid $210 in addition to their housing. To some this amount was too much, but to those who participated in the program, it was money well spent. To begin, incoming freshmen were given outstanding advisors to help them start the year off right. Tutors for the programs core classes were also provid­ ed. Professors from all departments came out on various nights and helped with in-hall study sessions. Says Tom Shjerven, Al-Monty hall manager, "The Enrichment Program is an example of how CW U Housing tries so hard to make living on campus the The Enrichment Program is an example of how CWU Housing tries so hard to make living on campus the best it can be. —Tom Shjerven, Al-Monty Hall Manager The Observer One all-nighter after another best it can be." Added Shjerven, "We had some bugs that could only be discovered after the first year, but I think with every year it will get better and better." One such bug was the hall wasn't fill-, ed with only Enrichment students. This made it difficult to keep the hall together as a community because the non-Enrichment students couldn't par­ ticipate in some events or if they did, they had to pay morie. The two things that really made the program work were the staff and the residents. The Living Group Advisors worked as a team. "We need to depend on each other," says Tami Furst, LGA. A perfect description of an effective staff team comes from Tom Gambill, also an LGA at Al-Monty. "Our ptaff team is really close, when someone stumbles someone else is there to lend a hand." But it isn't all staff that makes the Enrichment Program work, it is also the residents. "It's the residents, not the program itself," explained Mike Wilson, a stu­ dent in the program. "The residents who took advantage of the program got a lot out of it." Lori Smith was one of those students. "The program was really good because it made us feel comfortable with what is there for us." more about NOZII _ from page 11 now the vice-chief director of the na­ tional committee for penmanship and calligraphy education and the Chair­ man for the same committee at Shimane. When not studying or teaching Calligraphy, Nozu enjoys reading about people like Abraham Lincoln, Town- send Harris and Commodore Perry. He likes to study the history and geography of places he's visiting. He memeorized all the positions of all the states before arriving here, feeling that it would have been rude not to know some geography of his host country. Grateful that he's had the opportunity to visit the United States, Nozu says he has a greater ap­ preciation of what he's studying. When asked what he likes about Ellensburg, Nozu replied, "I like the quiet beauty Ellensburg provides, and the 100 years of history behind Central Washington University. Both give me great inspiration to try to express these qualities in my work." • BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN* * * HUEY LEWIS AND THE NEWS* * *THE BEATLES* * * * TINA TURNER * * * CHICAGO *** FLEETWOOD MAC * * * PRINCE * * * * * *VAN HALEN * * * GENESIS* * * PHIL COLLINS* ** ERIC CLAPTON* * * * * *THE EAGLES* * * CROWDED HOUSE* * * BON JOVI * * * DAVID BOWIE * MR.

Carter Babcock, Holmes Dining Hall Manager, will tell you his secret ingredient-variety. Based on this commitment to spicing up the menu, there have been some changes in the operating times and menues at Holmes. "Holmes is the only facility open on weekends and we were faced with the problem of providing variety to a group just as large and diverse as the Monday through Friday group, but in the span of only two days and in only one facility," says Babcock. The answer? Determine what foods weekend customers enjoy most and create two facilities out of one. The result is Holmes East and Holmes West. These two dining areas were already separated physically, but it is now Babcock's hope to create a distinct character for each side. On a trial basis, he chose Saturday and Sunday dinners as the start of his new program. Based on weekend dining trends, the most requested take-out food and mon­ ths of experimentation with other quick i : r '' AC .. - • Blue gnouse FINE DINING EASTER SUNDAY SPECIALS PRIME R.Bbakedham TURKEY With salad bar, choice of potatoes and freshed baked rolls Easter Sunday Breakfast fruit bar and fresh baked rolls Global Travel ao'\*e t° Alaska •7 nights •Departs: June 27th •Starts at $1395 p.p.d.o. 925-6961 434 N. Sprague Holland America Cruise VW' jS foods, Babcock chose gourmet ham­ burgers as the menu item for a new take-out program. For weekend dinners Holmes East now operates much like the Depot Deli. Diners can pick up two hamburger pat­ ties and then make the difficult choice of which condiments to add. The list in­ cludes bacon, cheese, sauted mushrooms, lettuce and tomato and all the other basics. The traditional picnic and barbeque side dishes are there to choose from too. And just like the deli, two 16 ounce beverages are allowed. The last decision to be made is whether to stay at Holmes and eat or take dinner somewhere else where weekend ac­ tivities might be more exciting. Holmes West provides yet another change of pace. Also on Saturday and Sunday nights, the west side will take on a new look with Theme Night on Saturday and Buffet a la Ritz on Sunday. Theme Nights will seive a variety of foods, such as Italian, Mexican, stir fry, and more menues still to be created. Buffet a la Ritz is an old favorite that hasn't been around for a while. The buffet dinner, usually with carved meat, is served in a nice atmosphere of tableclothes and candle light. Although it won't make the line any shorter, there is the option of reserving a table.

Dean Owens, Direc­ tor of Career Planning and Placement. The center helps seniors, underclass- ment and alumni in their job searches. Three services are available for general use. The Career Library houses hundreds of books and references to help participants learn about job hun­ ting skills, overseas employment, graduate school, salary information and general career and business informa­ tion. There are directories with business addresses and books on different ma­ jors and how they relate to various oc­ cupations. Another service the center offers is career guidance. Assistance with resumes, cover letters and interview techniques can help those who are look­ ing for internships, summer jobs or full- time employment. For seniors and graduate students on­ ly, the center sponsors on-campus inter­ views. Business, industry and govern­ ment interviews are held in October through March, and education inter­ views are held throughout the year. "All of these services are offered so students can come in and explore what they need to go in a certain direction," said Owens. For seniors the services of­ fered are especially beneficial. To register, seniors must pick up the forms at Barge 105 at least three quarters before graduation. When these are completed, a credential file which is a depository for personal and confidential information, is then established. The file is made available, at each student's request, to prospective employers. This file can be built on, even after the stu­ dent has graduated. more about Moreau VALLEY SECRETARIAL SERVICE 925-9225 222 E. 4th, Suite D (corner of 4th & Ruby) fSSas.:' GRENADA ST. VINCENT ST.

•:: :• •'" rhursday, April 16, 1987 The Observer — Page 15 EVIEWS Music- By DAVID JAMES Staff Writer U2 could be the finest rock band of the eighties. They have accomplished ^what few bands can even hope for, a broad group of followers that includes New Music fans, AOR, and Christian music listeners. They have done this through innova­ tion, outstanding talent and an unequal- ed dedication to lyrical sincerity. As a ^predominantly political band they ahve more than filled the void left by The Clash. While most socially conscious bands resort to left-wing rhetoric, U2 sticks to a humanistic rationality which never sinks to flag waving. I One listen to their new L.P., the "Joshua Tree," and it's clear this band wants to be taken seriously. The type of high powered anthems like "Sunday Bloody Sunday" which first put U2 on the charts are gone for good now, replaced by more subtle music built on barely restrained tension which seems about to explode, but never quite does. It is a musical reflection of the mood of much of the world right now, and it is what makes this the group's finest album to date. These guys have matured to the point of being some of the best musicians around today. This album is one of the few I have ever heard which suggests rock music can be a true art form. The Joshua Tree" is produced by Brian Eno, and as he has done for David Bowie and the Talking Heads, Eno has pushed this group to the full extent of its talents. Surprising ideas are everywhere. The harmonica and bluesy, country styled guitar of "Runn­ ing to Stand Still" is probably the best song about heroin addiction since Neil Young's "Needle and the 'Damage Done," and the metalic guitar screeches and thumping bass of "Bullet the Blue Sky" is a scathing indictment of U.S. foreign policy. Dave Evans' guitar work is far superior to anything he has recorded yet, and Bono continues to be the best vocalist around. Bassist Adam Clayton and drummer Larry Mullen do much more than provide rhythm, they often take the lead and fill the gaps of these songs with as much tension as any guitarist could provide. Lyrically, the band has never been stronger. "One Tree Hill" is a medita­ tion on the death of one of the group's roadies. "Red Hill Mining Town" con­ cerns the 1984 British miners strike, and "Mothers of the Disappeared" champions the cause of a group of Argentinian women still trying to learn the fate of their children who vanished during that nation's years of dictator­ ship. Running throughout this album is an air of religious imagery. Three of the members of U2 are practicing Chris­ tians, but they never resort to the sort of preaching that keeps most Christian bands off the airwaves. U2's religious statements are heartfelt, not dogmatic. That an album this creative and in­ telligent could go straight to the top of the U.S. charts reflects a growing desire in this country for music that does not insult our collective I.Q. "The Joshua Tree" is a five star album which stands far above the wasteland of current Top-40 music. GET ADY THE SUN Movies By MICHEAEL J. ANDERSON Staff Writer Thank you to Alternate Channel Video for the use of a VCR and video tapes. "Blue Velvet" is about the battle bet­ ween good and evil. Beginning with a young man's discovery of a severed ear in a deserted field it leads the viewer through several scenes full of mental and physical abuse. David Lynch, the director of Eraserhead, Elephant Man and Dune, has once again taken what could have been just another crime film into a state­ ment about good and evil. This may be an old theme but in Lynch's hands it's different from dime a dozen ones like Sylvester Stallone's "Rambo" movies. This film is full of symbolism, both simple and complex. Each of the sym­ bols is presented in the Lynch style of surrealism, sound and music combina­ tions and some of the best dream se­ quences seen in a long while. Does this mean you will like "Blue Velvet?" It depends on how much you like "arty" or "intellectual" directing and acting. It also depends on your tolerence for being made uncomfor­ table. "Blue Velvet" is not a nice movie. It's suspense, evil and general Lynch weirdness is designed to make you squirm in your chair. I feel I should warn you before you rent this movie, especially for a party. This film is not for everyone, and like some other Lynch films, it haunts you. "Stand By Me" is the story of four young boys, each with their own pro­ blems, knocking around together dur­ ing the summer of 1959. Their story is both funny and moving. The plot evolves around their hunt for the body of a missing child. Their hunt is truly an adventure with train dodges and other dangerous stunts. The four are unaware that the local gang of juvenile delinquents are also searching for the body and want to claim it for their own. The two groups collide in an exciting climax. "Stand By Me" is a unique movie because we see these boys not only go on an adventure, but also mature. The audience can feel the closeness the boys feel for each other and it gives you a warm feeling. This movie also gives you a sense of nostalgia, even if you weren't around then, thanks to a great sound­ track with songs like. "Charlie Brown" and "Don't Talk Back." more about Holmes from page 13 make sure your table is ready when you arrive. There is not a required dress code but in the past, Ritz diners have welcomed the chance to dress up a lit­ tle. These new programs are only in the second week of operation, and despite some inevitable slow downs and confu­ sion, the comments have mostly been positive. According to Babcock, spring quarter is the best time to begin such a project because it is a time when most students are familiar with the dining hall and it also allows time for ad­ justments before fall quarter. In addition to the dining changes, there are new hours at Holmes. Holmes East closes at 1:30 for brunch and 6:30 for the gourmet burger takeout. Holmes West will remain the same.

Page 18 — The Observer Thursday, April 16, 1987 SPORTS There are many reasons for the arrival of college baseball Around the Horn with DAN STILLE By DAN STILLER Sports Editor Look at the names. Swindell. Incaviglia. Bonds. Snyder. Thigpen. Surhoff. Clark. The list goes on and on. What, you ask, do all these players have in common? They are all baseball players who stand on the threshold of major league star­ dom and none of them are more than two or three years out of college. This didn't used to be. Up until about 10 years ago, major college baseball was basically an irrelevant sport. Players who were considered major league prospects were drafted and signed to pro contracts as 18-year old high school graduates. From there, they spent several years travelling by broken down bus to various minor league outposts before making the jump to the big feagues. Recently, though, both the prospects and the professional franchises have discovered the advantages of college baseball. For the pro teams, it is easier to evaluate the talents of a 21 or 22-year old college kid than it is to predict the eventual talents of an 18-year old. For the young players, the benefits of college ball are numerous. For one, playing conditions at the major college level are far superior to those found in the lower classifica­ tions of the minor leagues. The fields, as well as the lighting, are better in the college parks — some schools even play on artificial turf. Another advantage of the college game is the coaching a player receives. Minor league managers are very often booz­ ing ex-big leaguers who landed the job through the old boy network and who really don't have anything to teach a young prospect — in fact, in many cases, the manager harbors a grudge against players on the way up. In college, a young player has the advantage of learning from a true teacher of the game with an emphasis on fundamentals. The end result is that the colleges are producing players with solid fundamental backgrounds. Additionally, the college player avoids the financial aspect of the professional game. The money results in a lot of politics being played in selecting who is advanced through the organization and who is left behind. In college, the player has three or four years in which to make his mark without having the monetary monkey on his back along with the accompanying pressure to be a "good invest­ ment. " What this has resulted in is college baseball is rapidly growing in popularity and may soon join its football and basketball siblings as a major sport. Aside from the improved caliber of play (many scouts will tell you that the top col­ leges are playing at a level similar to Double A pro ball), the addition of ESPN telecasts has had a major role in the emergence of college ball. ESPN originally started broadcasting the NCAA World Series about eight years ago. Viewer response was such that they now televise a college game of the week, and these too have been met with much approval. Fans have discovered that college baseball, like college football and basketball, is a far different game than its professional counterpart. The use of the aluminum bat makes it a much more offensively-oriented game in which the unexpected is the rule rather than the ex­ ception. What the increase in popularity and visibility has resulted in is that now fans can follow players from college to the pros just as they do in other sports. One spring, you're wat­ ching Oddibe McDowell earn Player of the Year honors while at Arizona State and a year later, he's playing centerfield for the Texas Rangers. If you are a baseball fan who hasn't discovered the college version of the game yet, be sure and check it out on ESPN. You'il like it. Raab has high hopes and low scores By DUANE MORRIS Staff Writer It's a warm Sunday afternoon as I pull up in front of Sun-Tides golf course in Yakima. I've been sent here to do a story on Robi Raab, possibly the most prolific golfer in Central history. I ask at the pro shop where I might find Raab. After checking the driving range, I'm told he's in the lounge having lunch. I've never seen Raab before, only read his name countless times in the sports page. The Masters is playing on a large screen TV as I wald in. Several golfers sit and simply dream of playing at Augusta. Raab notices me and comes over and introduces himself. His demeanor beams with confidence. Raab has a right to be a confi­ dent golfer. A three-year letter- man, Raab has been named Central's Outstanding Golfer the past two years by posting the lowest stroke average on the team. After a third place finish in last year's district tourna­ ment, he has set his sights on be­ ing district champion, which would automatically qualify him for nationals. "I want to win the district championship. Once I get to nationals, I want to be an All-American, which means I have to finish in the top 15," says Raab. If hard work and hours spent on the course are any indication, Raab might as well book a flight to nationals. He simply cannot get enough of the game. "We play tournaments every week. I wish we could play one every­ day," comments Raab, who spends 50 to 60 hours a week on the course. What would drive a person to hit 1000 golf balls a day as Raab does? An obsession with ex­ cellence and a dream. "I love the game. Eventually, the goal is right there," Raab says as he points at the TV airing the Masters. "I'll play amateur the rest of this year. If I play well enough and I am confident in my ability, I'll turn pro in September. My goal is to be playing on the tour in three years." However, before any of that can happen, Raab must turn his attention to the mild slump he is in. "I'm not playing real well right now," explains Raab. "It's an up and down game, these things happen. I'm playing four to five shots worse than I'll be playing in the next three weeks. I can almost guarantee you that," he adds, his confidence readily apparent. A three sport athlete at East Valley High School in Yakima, Raab is a person who thrives on pressure, something that comes in great amounts in the game of golf. "I love the pressure. When I played basketball in high school, I wanted the pressure shot. If you like it (the pressure), you'll do well at it," says Raab. Pressure was something Raab put on himself at the beginning of this season in large quantities. However, with the recent suc­ cess of the Central team, the pressure has lightened. "I used to put a lot of pressure on myself, that I needed to play great for us to win. I don't have to do that anymore, so now I can relax," explains Raab. Nothing excites Raab more than the emergence of the 'Cats as a legitimate contender to challenge perennial power Western for the district cham­ pionship. After winning the Whitman College Invitational tournament, Central won its own invitational this past weekend. The team is on a roll, and Raab realizes it. "The first week after the Whitman Invita­ tional, I was pretty happy, but I thought it might have been a fluke. After last weekend, I know it wasn't," says Raab. Raab's eyes light up as he talks of facing Western. "We're going to get them, it's going to be fun.'' wm wm mmm. •v.ysssA .ySW»fcv.?-y.y.'.v Wm mmm. •.'.•.yv.'.v.-..-.v.v.-.'. Playing on a serious con­ tender is something new for Raab, who has been one of the few bright spots in the Central golf program the past three years. "We have a team- oriented program this year and that excites. Our team is so strong, and they push each other, which improves the quality of the team. We have a real shot at going to nationals," says Raab. Second-year head coach Frank Crimp realizes the impor­ tance of Raab if the team is to qualify for nationals. "He's the Please see Rob page 23
Thede leads 'Cat linksters to tourney win By ERIC HOLSTR0M Staff Writer Central's golf team has been surpris­ ing a lot of people lately, but CWU coach Frank Crimp is not among the surprised. "I knew we would field a good team this season," said Crimp. The Wildcats supported Crimp's prediction last Friday with a four-stroke victory in their own invitational tourna­ ment held at the Yakima Elks Golf Course. "I was pleased with the win," Crimp said, "but I think we could have per­ formed better as a team. We should have won by a lot more strokes than we did. Some of our players didn't play play up to their potential and there is a lot of room for improvement." Top scorer for the Central Black team and third overall was Scotland Thede who led the Wildcats with a 151 total, shooting rounds of 75 and 76. Thede made a spectacular 60-foot putt on the 17th hole in the second round to close the gap for individual medalist. "We had a good performance out of Scot Thede and Robi Raab," Crimp said. "Scot was tough and Robi had a steady game, but played just average for him. I know they both can improve." "This was one of my better tour­ naments," Thede said. "I know I can play better though, and I've improved my stroke average to 78, one better than last year." Raab shot a 75-78 for a 153 total. Jeff Kent shot 76 and 80 for a 156 third-place Central finish. Fourth and fifth golfers Tom Mueller and Matt Massey had scores of 75 in the first round but their scores soared in the final round, Mueller shooting a dismal 87 and Massey playing to the tune of 93 as the two finished at 162 and 168, respective­ ly. "Mueller and Massey were disap­ pointed with their second-day scores," Crimp said.' 'The weather was a big fac­ tor with the wind blowing at 25 to 30 miles an hour. But they've both played enough in tournament golf to overcome it." At the completion of the first day of the 36-hole tournament, the Central Black team was tied with Bellevue C.C. at 300. Spokane C.C. held a slim one- stroke lead after the first round with a 299. On Friday, the Wildcat linksters posted a 321 to move past Bellevue and a fading Spokane squad to claim the vic­ tory with a 621 total score. Bellevue had a 625 for second-place and Spokane had a disappointing 334 final round to finish with a 633, good for only fifth place. Central's Red squad also competed and had a 651 total for ninth place. Tacoma C.C.'s Steve George won medalist honors with a 147 (72-75). The Wildcats will travel to Portland this weekend to play in the Portland State Invitational. "The tournament in Portland will be a gret test to see how we match up against Western," Thede said. Western won the district meet last year and is favored to repeat again this season. The Vikings are currently rank­ ed 14th in the nation. "Winning the last two tournaments has given our team a real lift psychologically. Now we know we can win," Crimp said. Baseball big boys rough on Wildcats By DAN STILLER Sports Editor It was billed as probably being the toughest week on the Wildcat schedule. It lived up to its billing. The Central baseball team dropped five of six games this past week, all against powerful competition. The opposition included Pac-10 teams Eastern Washington and Washington as well as Lewis-Clark State, the top-ranked NAIA team in the nation. Wildcat head coach Ken Wilson said that while a team never likes to lose, losses like these are fairly easy to deal with when all the surrounding cir­ cumstances are taken into account. "We just don't have the pitching right now to play six games against (NCAA) Division 1 competition. It's good ex­ perience, but we've got district games coming up and that's what gets us into the playoffs," the first-year coach ex­ plained.

The 'Cats didn't fare too much better in the nightcap as Carl Casperson had his first shaky outing of the season. The Huskies were led by designated hitter Brent Sill's four RBI's. Once again, the Central offense was limited to the four- bagger, this time third baseman Bob Cornwell's. The following day, Central hosted Eastern in a doubleheader and earned a split on the strength of Jay Petersen's two-hitter. The righthander allowed two first inning singles before shutting the Eagles down the rest of the way en route to a 6-1 victory. Joe Dawson, who leads the team in RBI's with 19 in 20 games, stroked a third inning RBI double to give Petersen all the help he needed. Shortstop Marc Greeley chipped in with a two-run single in the same inning. The Eagles rebounded in the second game to earn the split, ripping three CWU pitchers for 15 hits and 10 runs. From there, Central hopped in the vans and headed for Lewiston hoping to end a streak of 40 consecutive road losses to LCSC. They came close but left town with the streak at 42. On Friday night, an intense Wildcat team jumped to a 5-0 lead before the Warriors knew what had happened. LC battled back for four runs in the bottom of the third, but the game was called on account of rain with the 'Cats leading 5-4. Saturday, the Wildcats played the mighty Warriors tough in both games, but, both times, fell victim to the big in­ ning. In the opener, Joe Dawson's two-run single in the top of the fifth staked the 'Cats to a 3-1 lead. Casperson pitched masterfully for four innings, limiting the Warriors to only one run on three hits, but things got out of hand in the fifth. Twelve Warrior batters took their sw­ ings in the fifth, and most of those sw­ ings made contact. Montie Phillips and Mitch Swalley hit homeruns resulting in four of the seven runs in the inning. Deja vu struck in the second game. Freshman Andy Hoey pitched well beyond his years, holding the Warriors to one run in three innings. Unfor­ tunately though, Hoey left the game and LC's pitcher was even sharper. Lef­ ty Steve Callahan one-hit the 'Cats, fac­ ing one over the minimum number of batters, in throwing a shutout. At the plate, the Warriors went off. The fourth inning saw eight batters come to the plate before one was retired. Once again, Montie Phillips was the man in the middle of things, hit­ ting a grand slam for four of his six RBI's in the game. The Warriors plated nine of their 12 runs in the fourth.

Page 20 — The Observer Thursday, April 16, 1987 Pace, Chandler pace 'Cats to a good showing By JOE CZECH Staff Writer Last Saturday, Central's men's track team dominated a 16-team field at the Western Washington Invitational. After removing non-district competitors from the standings, Central unofficially scored 184 points. Second-place Simon Fraser had 82 and PLU came in third with 80 points. The meet, featuring 12 college teams, four track clubs and several unattached athletes, is one of the premier small-college meets in the Northwest. One of the better races of the day was the 200-meter in which Central's Jim- mie Dillingham had the challenge of competing against Thomas Jefferson, the bronze medalist in the event at the 1984 Olympics who now runs for the Mazda Track Club. Jefferson won the race going away in a meet-record time of 21.1. Dillingham finished fourth in 22.5 and teammate Jim Gallagher plac­ ed sixth with a time of 23.2. Dillingham added a third-place finish in the 100 (11.0) and Gallagher came in fourth in the 400 (50.5). Central head coach Spike Arlt called Mike Pace's victory over a loaded field in the 1500 Central's "performance of the day." Pace cruised the first two laps between fifth and tenth place, then steadily moved up to second with a lap to go. He had to kick hard down the home-stretch to hold off Simon Fraser's Rob Nelson and PLU's Russ Q^le. Pace's time was 3:54.6, two-tenths ahead of Nelson. Cole came back to win the 800, a race in which Pace finished fifth. With districts approaching, Pace hopes to improve on his second-place 1500 district finish of 1985. With defen­ ding champ Kevin Cathcart of Whit­ man competing along with Nelson, Pace and Cole, the race shapes up as a fast one. Arlt was also pleased with the out­ come of the 5000. Dale King and Neal Sturgeon finished second and third, respectively, behind Saul Kinderis, a Western graduate now running for Club Northwest. Former Central distance runner John Freeburg, now running for Reebok, finished fourth. "Dale running 14:49 in the wind was a tough performance," Arlt said. "With Neal right behind him at 14:56, things will be real tough in the district meet." Both King and Sturgeon are returning to college competition after a couple years off. In the steeplechase, Cope Belmont ran 17 seconds faster than he did a year ago in the same meet to finish third in 9:41.5, edging teammate Sean Barrow who came in fourth in 9:54.7. Charles Chandler easily won the 110-high hurdles for the third time in his last three appearances on Western's track. He was Central's only winner at this meet last year and he won the district title in the event as well. Chandler also earned a second in the 400-hurdles, finishing just ahead of John Arlt, who ran a lifetime best 55.5 for third. Coach Arlt was surprised and happy with both performances. "Charles ran faster than last week . . . and John's been having problems with shinsplints." Scott Frick won the high jump for the second week in a row. He cleared 6'8" on April 4, but it only took a jump of 6'4" to win on Saturday. Frick is only a freshman and, being as Central never won a high jump competition last year, is a valuable addition to the squad. Another sore spot in Central's lineup last year was the pole vault, but freshman John Verhayden's vault of 13'0" (good for third place) is reason for optimism. UW graduate Neil Kniep dominated the throwing events with victories in the shot, hammer and discus. Central's John Torrence finished third in all three throws: a hammer throw of 179'8" (ahead of all college competition), a discus mark of 153'4" and an effort of 49'11.5" in the shot. Teammate Bill Walker improved his shot put mark by more than two feet with a toss of 49'2.5" (fourth place). Assistant coach Keith Kellogg, who directs the throwing events for the Wildcats, said, "This is the toughest year this district has seen in the weight events." Kim Nix of Western and Tim Jacob- son of Whitworth have both thrown wel in the weight events this season. Central's Torrence is the defending district champ in the discus, but Jacob- son has come out on top in their last two meetings. Kellogg picks Torrence as the favorite, though, saying "he's a good clutch thrower." The women's team came up empty in the win department Saturday, but did get an impressive second-place finish from the 4x100 relay team of Angela Wright, Lindsey Kountz, Donna Haupt and Heather Lucas. They finished just three-tenths out of first with a time of 50.2. Karen Munger placed second in the high jump. She leapt 5'2" for the se­ cond week in a row. Angela Wright placed third in the 100 with a time of 12.7. Central is in action again tomorrow, when they host the CWU Invitational.

Thursday, April 16, 1987 The Observer — Page 21 Men earn first victory women reach .500 By BRIAN ZYLSTRA Staff Writer SWINGING SINGLES — Second-seeded player Kathy Lange won both her singles and doubles match in helping the Wildcats top Seattle U. Although the weather was cold at the Nicholson Pavilion courts Saturday, it was just fine for Central's tennis teams. The men's team broke into the vic­ tory column for the first time this season with a 7-2 win over Gonzaga, and the women evened their record at 4-4 with a victory over the visiting Bulldogs. Earlier last week, the Wildcat men suffered a 5-4 road defeat against Seattle U. Tuesday, followed by a 6-3 home loss to Yakima Valley College on Thurs­ day. CWU's women began last week with an 8-1 thumping of Seattle U., but then dropped a 5-4 match to YVC. Their match against Whitman on Friday was halted because of poor weather after the Missionaries built a 4-2 lead. Against Gonzaga, the men's squad captured four of six singles matches and all three doubles matches to improve its record to 1-6. Cental head coach Dennis Roberts agreed that it was one of the team's best outings of the season. "I think everyone pulled it together this time and played as well as they could," Roberts said. In singles action, second-player David Grant, Brian Zylstra (3), Rob POSITION ANNOUNCEMENTS STUDENT APPRENTICES 2 MAINTENANCE POSITIONS) and (1 PAINTING POSITION) ' j "* ' y: •Ay-: AUXILIARY SERVICES MAINTENANCE OFFICE Central Washington University Maintaining the condition and beauty of our buildings is the overall goal of qur maintenance programs.

The doubles of Grant-Frank Pet­ tersen, Weaver-Charlie Miller and Davis-Zylstra all collected W's for Cen­ tral. The Wildcat women also had an easy time in their match. "Everyone played pretty well," Roberts said. Against YVC, the only Central men to post victories were Davis and Weaver in singles, and the doubles team of Davis-Zylstra. the women gave YVC a much tougher match than they did two weeks ago — an 8-1 win by YVC. Robbie Gruhn, Becky Bernth and Lisa Burton — Central's fourth, fifth and sixth — all scored wins, as did the third doubles of Burton and Linda Johnson. The CWU women had little trouble defeating Seattle, winning five of six singles matches and all three doubles matches. Kathy Lange (second singles), Johnson (3), Gruhn, Burton and Bernth all collected victories. In doubles, Lange-Sheri Holmes and Gruhn-Bernth all scored three-set wins. Burton-Johnson collected a forfeit vic­ tory. The Central men didnk't fare as well, however, dropping their third straight 5-4 decision to the Chieftains. The battle wasn't decided until the last match of the day, a 6-2, 5-7, 7-6 first singles win by SU's Kevin Wakasa over Pettersen. Roberts thought that Pettersen played very well. "Wakasa isn't the strongest' player around, but he's a solid number one. And Frank played a tough match against him." yoTm'rsTnrs'lrrs'axrflxa'd a'fl'flo] Summer in Hawaii! o o o Air only $298 Seattle to Honolulu R.T. $379 Week in Waikiki 8 days/ 7 nights % includes: Z Round Trip Airfare o Waikiki Hotel transfers e I o : Going to Europe? ® £ o o o We have: Youth fares student fares Hostel cards Eurail Passes SEE THE TRAVEL PROFFESSIONALS! o e Bfifiensbu/ig 925-6933 306 oMortfc ^Pine frg B 9.MJUULttXUUULa 9 9 tt.ttJUUUUL
e 22 — The Observer Thursday, April 16, 1987 It's Magic: the Lakers will wear the NBA crown COMMENTARY By BRIAN ZYLSTRA Staff Writer The NBA regular season is winding down, and fans are becoming excited about the upcoming playoffs. Along with the excitement come the ques­ tions: Who will advance beyond the first round? Who will qualify for the finals? And, of course, who will end up holding the championship trophy? There are indeed many questions to be answered in the next several weeks. But one is already answered. It's signed, sealed and delivered. A sure bet. In fact, I'd bet one of my Rush albums on this. Come early June, expect the Los Angeles Lakers to be crowned NBA champions. Already I can imagine quite a few PTF's (Prime Time Fans) wanting to take me up on this wager, regardless of whether they like Geddy Lee and Com­ pany or not. Defending champion Boston certain­ ly has a shot at repeating, some will say. Indeed, the Celtics do have a solid chance. They possess the league's top forward duo in Larry Bird and Kevin McHale, plus they have a wealth of ex­ perience and winning tradition. But, as much as it pains me to admit this, the Celts won't repeat. Boston's bench is too thin, even with Bill Walton's return to action, they aren't a dominating road team anymore (Boston's road record is just under .500) and there is the looming matter known as the title-repeating jinx. No team has captured consecutive titles since the Celtics did it in 1968-69. Some fans wouldn't even pick the men in green to reach the finals. In­ stead, they might tab the Eastern Con­ ference's new force, Atlanta. The Hawks are vastly improved from last year and are on a hot streak heading in­ to the playoffs. If the Hawks could find a way to win at Boston Garden, there possibly could be a new face represen­ ting the East in the championship round. But winning it all? Not this season. L.A. is too strong at guard for Atlanta. Others will argue that L.A.'s main competition in its own Western Con­ ference, Dallas, could surprise the Showtime Studs, much like Houston Presented by CWU Dining Services oato Coping with Hypertension Hypertension (high blood pressure) is a higher than normal force of blood against blood vessel walls. It adds to the workload of the heart and arteries and, if left untreated, greatly increases the risk of stroke, heart attack, kidney and eye problems. There are often no warning signs, so hypertension must be diagnosed by a physician. Factors such as obesity, oral conraceptives, smoking, family history, age, sex, and race can put you at risk for developing the disease. The first three are under your control. If you have been diagnosed with hypertension, there are things that you can do: lose excess weight, exercise regularly, and follow a low-sodium, high-potassium diet. Sodium can be reduced by hiding the salt shaker and by avoiding salty snacks, cured foods, and canned vegetables. Some good sources of potassium are orange juice, bananas, dried fruit, and potatoes. Most important — have regular checkups and take your medication! did last season. Considered the NBA's model franchise, the Mavericks, with all their super young talent, have come of age, and they have filled their once huge gap at center with the equally huge James Donaldson, the former Sonic who was the largest RV in Seattle's famed Winnebago Wall. With all of its firepower, Dallas could successfully challenge the purple and gold dynasty, right? Wrong. The chances are better that Dick Motta and Mark Aguire will accompany one another on a fishing trip this summer. Look for the Mavs to extend L.A. to seven games in the conference finals before calling it a season. OK, I'll admit that I sound slightly cocky in already proclaiming the Lakers as the 1987 NBA champs. Titles are won on the basketball court, not in The Observer. True. But when you get right down to it, there is no team this season that is going to knock off Los Angeles (the Lakers, not the Clippers). Two Thursdays ago in Seattle, the Lakers showed a Coliseum-record crowd of 14,749 that they are not mere­ ly strong contenders but also destined to be the new champs. The youthful Sonics, as they often have done this season, played an in­ spired, emotional game. They matched L.A. dunk for dunk and jumper for jumper for the entire contest. It was one of Seattle's best performances of the campaign. But it wasn't enough. The Sonics power trio of Xavier McDaniel, Dale Ellis and Tom Chambers had another exceptional outing. X had an all-star night, recor­ ding 35 points, nine rebounds, five steals and three blocked shots. Ellis can­ ned 27 points and Chambers added 26. Rookie Nate McMillan displayed his great potential and flair at point guard , dishing out 16 assists. But all that wasn't enough. In the end, Seattle's chances at winn­ ing the game disappeared faster than you can say abracadabra. Mr. Earvin ''Magic" Johnson, the NBA's premier point guard, took over at crunch time. With the score tied at 100, Johnson rais­ ed his game a notch, scoring 13 points in the final 6:02 to help L.A. earn a 117-114 victory. "Earvin pretty much took ovre," Laker head coach Pat Riley said after the game. "That's basically what bailed us out." Magic as a scorer? Come on. He's the guy who racks up the big assist numbers, the man who collects all the triple-doubles. Well, he still does those things. As of April 1, Johnson led the league with 12.3 assists per game. But his role has expanded to that of a scorer, too. His 23.8 average (ninth in the NBA) reflects this. Riley agrees that Johnson's game has risen to a higher level. "There are no superstars who. don't think they can get better," said coach GQ. "And he's testimony to that." Magic pointed out that his new role is different for him. "A lot has changed from the first seven years," Johnson said. But he said he isn't uncomfortable with scoring more. "I'm still passing. I'm still doing the same things I used to do . . . Now, if I miss, I still shoot." Against Seattle, he shot well enough to score 34 points, but he also did the things he "used to do," grabbing 10 re­ bounds and dealing 13 assists. Magic is the main character in the Laker cast. His improved play is a key reason why Los Angeles will win the ti­ tle this spring. There are, however, other reasons. One is the improved play at power forward. Last season with 6-8 Kurt Rambis at the position, the L§kers occa­ sionally fell victim to taller teams like Boston and Houston. But, by replacing Rambis with 6-9 A.C. Green and ac­ quiring 6-10 Mychal Thompson from San Antonio, the Lakers aren't getting overpowered inside anymore. Green canned 17 points and had four offensive rebounds, and Thompson — who also serves as Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's backup — added 10 tallies in 15 minutes. With an able replacement in Thomp­ son, Kareem has less weight on his shoulders. True, he's scoring less than in years past, but Riley says it's by design. When the game is on the line, the Laker coach noted, the NBA's all- time leading scorer is still a main cog. Another reason why the Lakers will win it all this year is that they are once again on a roll as the playoffs near. Last season when they were eliminated by the Rockets, the Lakers looked like a tired, uninspired team. But that isn't the case this season. L.A. is a hungry, driven team — one that knows that it is time to play well. "Right now we're playing well," Johnson said. He warned that the Lakers are "taking it one at a time. We're not looking at the championship round. When you do that, you get beat." "It's not going to be an easy road," said Rambis. "Every team we play has the potential." You're right, Kurt. It won't be easy. But you and your teammates will win it all. After edging Dallas in seven, you'll dethrone Boston in six. I have a Rush album riding on the Lakers. Any takers?

Thursday, April 16, 1987 The Observer — Page 23 more about Rob the cog in the machine that makes us go," explains Crimp. Not only are his physical talents important to the team, but his leadership has become in­ valuable. "You look up to him because he has been the number one player the past three years. He gives us guidance, as well as numbers to shoot for," says teammate Matt Massey. Raab feels comfortable with his role as a leader. "I like the role of being a leader, because in order to be a leader, you have to be a winner," says Raab. "We are a team, a good team. That's so nice to have this year." Raab admits that while he has ex­ perienced a great deal of individual suc­ cess. in the past three years, a void re­ mains that he hopes to fill this season. "It's nice to have accomplished the things I've done, but it doesn't fill the emptiness of not winning the district championship as a team or individual. from page 18 I've been shooting for that for three years, and that's the goal," says Raab. And what if the entire season and the team and the individual goals that fill it come down to one putt at districts by Raab? ' 'If I wanted somebody to putt it, it would be Robi, becouse of his deter­ mination and tournament experience," says Crimp. Raab wants the putt as well. "I would love to have a ten-foot putt at districts for us to win and for me to win it outright," he explained. "If I can have that putt, I want it, because I'm going to make it and we're going to nationals." The interview completed, we shake hands and I wish Raab luck. His con­ fidence has gotten to me as well. He'll make the putt. And if Raab has his way, he'll be sinking the same putt three years from now, only then, the com­ petition will by guys named Ballesteros and Norman.

Over the course of ten years he added and created a basic foundation to the Pizza Mia pizza. The dough recipe, the secret sauce and the blend of three cheeses are the same as he developed. in 1971 Steve De Cou purchased Pizza Mia and moved It to a larger building in Ellensburg next to the Central Washington university campus where it became an institution for over ten years. Now we re back with those famous pizzas and grinders. Because we want to insure to you the Best Quality, our expanded menu will be developed during the next few month including salads, nachos, ribs, spaghetti and more. we still use the freshest ingredients, slice our meats and vegetables, grind our cheese, mix our dough and sauce to bring you the best we have to offer. we have developed a method of putting the ingredients between the sauce and cheese so they may blend with both flavors, it takes longer to cook, but we feel it's worth it! Sincerely, I* Steve De cou A GRINDER'S NOT A GRINDER UNLESS IT'S A PIZZA Ml A GRINDER at Pizza Mia since 1971 P S. HARDCORE HAPPY HOUR, May 30th, 6 am-1 Oam, watch for details! O 1 O O O 3 3 3 3 d
