The Central Washington University women's basketball team clinched a playoff spot by collecting NAIA District 1 victories over Puget Sound (85-69), and Seattle Pacific (79-65) at Nicholson Pavilion last weekend. The Lady Wildcats put a fitting end on a nearly perfect regular season by defeating Pacific Lutheran 10&90 at Tacoma. Their game scheduled for February 17 against Whitworth will go down as a forfeit win. Whitworth had to bow out of competition earlier this season due to injuries. The Wildcats not only extended their win streak to 11 games, but also set a single-season record for victories. The 'Cats, who are now 24-3 overall and on top of the district standings, broke the previous mark of 23-3 set by the 1977-78 team. Puget Sound dropped to 7-9 in district play and 9-15 overall, while SPU slipped to 11-8 and 14-9. Against UPS last Friday, the Wildcat starting five scored all of Central's points, led by Lanette Martin with 25. Sonia Swan also scored 25 points, (including 21 in the second half), on , Saturday to lead the 'Cats over SPU. "It was really great to see Sonia (Swan) come out and play this well," CWU head coach Gary Frederick said. Swan connected on 10-of-14 shots from the field and also grabbed a game-high 12 rebounds in just 24 minutes of play. Lanette Martin chipped in 20 points and Natalie Long added 12. Kristelle Arthur had 11 rebounds to continue her quest for the 500 rebound mark. Hie SPU Falcons were led by the district's top scorer Linda Johnson, who had 29 points. Johnson also had 11 rebounds. She was averaging 20.5 points per game coming into the con­ test. Lori Robinett, who ranked fifth in the district in scoring with a 16.5 Mmmmmrnmmmmmmt mWmmmM wmm .y.vwA Wsfifc X.v. . .'

Joann Fukuma, who is the district leader in assists, also had 12 points, but had only three assists, well below her 6.2 average. Central led 34-30 at halftime. Swan then took matters into her own hands at the outset of the second half. She triggered an 18-6 scoring spurt to give the 'Cats a 52-36 advantage with a little more than 13 minutes remaining. The Wildcats will host either Western Washington or Simon Fraser in a first-round game on Friday, February 26. Senate bill 7508 receives opposition By SUSAN MONAHAN Staff Writer Washington Student Lobby has been active trying to gain support in its op­ position and support of many bills that are beneficial to all college students. Tuesday was the last day for any bill to be passed from its house of orgininto a committee in the next. As of Friday, February 12, HB 1115, HB 1356, HCR 4433 had passed from the House of Representatives to the Senate bills which had passed from the Senate to House are SB 6591, SJM 8026, SCR 8429 and SB 5708. There are several other bills which were still in committee on Friday and it was not known at the time of printing if they had been passed or died in com­ mittee. ' HOTLINE 1 -800-562-6000 Student support is needed to get HB 1115 passed. This bill deals with transportation and parking vehicles of disabled persons. If passed, vehicles transporting disabled students and others will be allowed to park free in a parking zone or area most accessible to meet the needs of the disabled persons. SB 7508 is strongly opposed by the WSL. Mike Little, ASCWU President, said, "this bill would establish a state commission to oversee business ac­ tivities of state and local government. (Remove governance of activities from institutions and puts into the hands of the state.)— not good." This bill is cur­ rently in House Committee of Com­ merce and Labor. Representives on this committee are Art Wang, Chair, 27th District and Cur­ tis Smith of the 13th District, Ellensburg.

Page 2 — The Observer Thursday, February 18, 1988 Does he know what he is doing? By LOREN D. WOHLGEMUTH JR Editor It's happening again. Writer's block. I've got it and I've got it in a bad way. I think this is what scares me most about being in journalism—facing the fact that every once in a while, I might not have an intelligent opinion about anything. Oh sure, I have opinions about the Olympics (overkill} and slow drivers on Sunday afternoons on a major interstate that just happens to connect Spokane with Seattle (need another hint?}. But who really wants to read about such trifling stupidity? I don't even like to write about such things. So, I sit in front of my stupid terminal staring blankly at the screen, hoping for divine intervention. I thought about discussing the evolution of the Seattle Mariners from doormat to contender, but then I remembered that nothing has changed. Sure, they picked up a pitcher from Philly, but one pitcher does not a ballclub make. Or is. it one ballclub does not a pitcher make—Steve Howe, are you listening? After thinking about the Mariners, I remembered that I'm apathetic toward most subjects, including politics. Is it my imagination, or is this campus ,alive with the electricity of student government elections? Ooh, pinch me! Seriously though, has anyone from the Campaign Sign Dimension and Content Regulatory Board begun measuring said campaign items? After all, we woiddn't want a candidate gaining an unfair advantage because his or her sign was bigger than another's. The thing I can't figure out is why I, as editor of The Observer, haven't been overwhelmed with endorsement requests from the candidates. Everybody who is anyone reads this paper, right? Or doesn't anyone value my opinion around here? I haven't said anything stupid in this space all year.. .have I? I know you people read this rag because I've seen you in the act. I've ac­ tually seen some of you complain about the lack of content from time to time. LETTERS TO THE EDITOR He says vote To the Editor: Central is YOUR school, don't let your influence go to waste! February 17th and March 3rd are two very im­ portant dates to remember. These dates are the primary and general elections. By voting in these elections YOU decide who will be your next ASCWU ex­ ecutive officers and board of director representatives. Why do we need these student reps.? Well, without them your voice would go unheard, concerning university policy changes, proposals and all deci­ sions that directly affect you as a stu­ dent. Without you, CWU would not be here. As students, you are paying the money that allows Central's doors to re­ main wide open. This means you have a great deal of power and influence, don't let it go to waste, get involved and VOTE! ASCWU represents YOU, the student. 1 urge you to take advantage of this opportunity to influence your future and the future of Central by casting your vote March 3rd. Remember your vote does count! Signed, Ron Eckroth Reader has opinion on business activities To the Editor: The Central Washington University "business" policy already a contradic-. tion in missions is rapidly becoming a contradiction in specifics. There were fourteen areas of CWU- Ellensburg business competition un­ covered by the Ellensburg committee last summer. CWU was asked to "open its books" (if there were any books!) in order to assess the reach of CWU com­ petition pursuant to SSB 5688. No ac­ countable answer has ever come from CWU. Instead we are subjected to veil­ ed threats from semi-official CWU spokesmen. Apparently all opinion con­ trary to the "Official" CWU line must be silenced or unspeakable conse­ quences will ensue. Well I say save that crap for the totalitarian socialist states and here is my opinion. One. Hey! CWU SUB Ware Fair how about trying out truth in advertising? Your merchandise is about ninety-five per cent mass produced or made in another country, not local or hand­ crafted. Two. Ware Fair according to one "Spokesman" is "significant" for the greater Ellensburg community. Yet we see the community voting with its feet! Spring Ware Fair has been cancelled due to lack of interest! (But not the winter Ware Fair or the "Incidental" merchants who stream through CWU at will any time they please through the year.) Three. The fact is that Ware Fair and the "Incidental" merchants lines the pockets of a select few for profit vendors, not the students or charities or clubs or community. Four. Why has not Ware Fair follow­ ed the example of PANACA (Bellevue Art Fair) which we were told thirteen years ago was the Ware Fair's future? Yes, I tried Ware Fair last year and I quit attending because I have too much respect for Arts and Crafts to accept that "Open invitation" again. I have discovered that the CWU crafts policy is a bureaucratic travesty an embarrassment to the community.. .a divisive element created and nur­ tured by the CWU SUB administration in direct contradiction with state laws both past and present. Signed, Frank Erickson Not only do you read it, but two of you use the paper as a floor covering in your apartment to thwart the urinary attempts of your rat-sized dog named Joey. (Gotcha kids!} You have to understand that nothing is sacred with me, save God and Mom. When was the last time you read the paper at a time other than a class? Okay, three of you. Percentage-wise, that number is almost lower than Bob Uecker's lifetime batting average. Frankly, I'm ashamed. What would it take for this campus to react—positively or negatively—to an article in this paper? Scandalous articles about leading university officials? Obviously, we would get in trouble for that—but wouldn't it be fun? As an alternative, I've decided to start a new feature in The Observer—weekly stories called "Really Stupid Things That People Have Done While Trying To Impress Someone." Well be there when you least expect us. We'll have cameras and microphones. Well even bring some of your best friends along. I'd like this to be like Stupid Pet Tricks—I fancy myself to be like Letter- man, anyway! (It was only a joke. Actually, I'm more like Larry Bud Melman.} What we need to do is hold auditions. Come to The Observer office on Friday, February 19, between 2 and 5 p.m. for the auditions. Of course I don't know what to audition people for, but it will be nice to see how many people actually walk allll the way down to Bouillon Hall and allll the way up those stairs and allll the way down the hall to Room 225. We'll give out prizes for everyone who shows up, and if you bring us a story idea, you'll get two prizes. By Friday, we'll know what candidates won in the primary elections on campus—if you are one of those people, I sure would like to meet you and find out what earth-shaking plans you have for this university. Am I being cynical? Absolutely. Why? Why not. After all, I'm suffering from acute writer's block. Medic! Medic!

Thursday, February 18, 1988 The Observer — Page 3 Club no longer sells plants, too much bother By KELLEY R. WOOD Staff Writer Last fall, after an ongoing bout with the community and its fear of universi­ ty competition, we have lost yet another fund-raising activity, the Spring £ Plant Sale. "It's kind of a historical thing," ex­ plained Professor Barker, chairman of biological sciences. "What happened was, during the course of the year, various classes would wind up with more plants than they started with. By 9 spring, we'd have a lot more plants than we really wanted, and we would just throw them out. We then came up with the idea of selling them as a fund-raiser for the Biology Club. It seemed like a logical thing to do." To promote the plant sale, signs were posted throughout the various depart­ ments and buildings with the intent of reaching the students, staff, and faculty. Some people in the community would also hear about the sale and come in and purchase the plants. "We weren't trying to compete with the plant-sellers in town," said Barker. "We advertised just on campus." The fund-raiser did not make a con­ siderable amount of money. In fact, $200 was the most that was ever made. The money was handled by the Association of Biology they, in turn, ^ divided the earnings between the Biology Club and the Biology Scholar­ ship Fund after the biology department had paid for the pots in which the plants were sold. Barker stated, "This way the state wasn't buying the pots that we were selling as a fund-raiser." "It's gone on for ten years or so," said Barker^ "Now there's a committee on campus that investigates all commercial activities." Last quarter, the Board of Trustees passed a Commercial Activities Policy, ^ and a Commercial Activity Review ^ Committee was appointed to review current and proposed activities to in­ sure that activities are consistent with the institutional policies. The Commercial Activities Policy states that each activity must meet one mm wmm PLANTS — The BiologyClub has decided to discontinue selling plants to students, faculty and staff due to the commercial activities policy accepted last fall. of the nine policies and the last of the follpwing conditions: •The activity is deemed to be impor­ tant in the fulfillment of Central's in­ structional, research, or public service mission. •The activity is a part of the Universi­ ty's extracurricular or residential life programs, including residence halls, food services, athletic and recreational programs, and performing arts pro­ grams. •The activity is one officially sanction­ ed by the Associated Students of Cen­ tral Washington University Board of Directors for the enrichment of student life. •The activity will assist in the recruit­ ment of qualified students. •The activity is needed to provide a public awareness of Central. •The activity is needed to foster the relationship between Central and its alumni. •The activity is one that originated with the University in order to provide a service that was not at the time available in the private sector. •The activity is needed to provide a good or service at a reasonable price, on reasonable terms, and at a convenient location and time. •The activity is one prescribed by operating or cost efficiency standards imposed by state law, regulations, rul­ ings, or directiveness. •The activity is carried out for the primary benefit of the students, faculty, staff, patients, and invited guests but with sensitivity to the total community. At this point, a decision was made. Considering that the plant sale wasn't a big thing, as far as the club was con­ cerned, and since it was becoming somewhat of a bother, no plants will be sold this spring. "We weren't forced out of it," ex­ plained Barker. ' 'We just figured that it was more trouble than it was worth." It is now up to the Association of Biology to decide how to generate some other fundraising activities. As for the Biology Club, no one really knows what they will do. Observer equipment over a decade old outdated . By NICK BEAUMONT Staff Writer . Each week a lot of time is spent look­ ing into information and searching out people for the writing of stories like you are now reading, into the editing and proofing of what writers write, and into 0 the layout and planning of The Observer. . ^ . Writers have deadlines to meet, com­ plicated by unavailable or un­ cooperative people who are the news, and it is hard to find enough material to fill the pages published each week. £ Editors and advertising people have trouble with story ideas and making enough ad sales, and then formatting these stories and advertisements out on multiples of four pages to make a newspaper of a good length with not too much white space. £ All of the work done to put the paper out each week is done on a machine called a Compugraphic, but all this may change in the future. The current machine in which stories are produced is over a decade old, maybe two decades old, and earlier this quarter the people who provide the service and materials for the Compugraphic in­ formed the communication department that the paper used by the machine would be going out of production. All that would exist is that which is already in stock. Papers are hard to produce when the main machine is not able to make the printouts which are used to make the "dummy" paper. That copy is sent to Sheilds Printing in Yakima by Greyhound each week for the printing of approximately 6,000 copies. Another problem with production is the possibility of equipment breakdown, from typewriters to what was once a "modern" computer. The Observer has three machines for typesetting, one for printing, a headline machine, and a waxer, all of which are used in production of the newspaper before it is sent to Yakima. When the machine still under war­ ranty breaks down, the communication department must call Spokane to con­ tact the only person in the state who can service the machine. This person charges the department from when he leaves Spokane until he returns, charg­ ing approximately $100 an hour. Once here, he is usually asked to look at the other machines and do what he can to make them more work better. However, the paper's future looks bright, as it is a definite plus for jour­ nalism and advertising students who are interested in getting practical ex­ perience. The department has two options before it one originated within the communications department, and the other came from the university itself. The department has the option of pur­ chasing a number of Apple computers from Cliff Miller Electronics in Yakima, along with the necessary printers and desktop publishing software needed to make a newspaper. According to com­ munication department chair Corwin King, the machines would cost, "in round numbers, fifteen thousand dollars to buy." The option which may be provided by the University is one that would cost close to half a million dollars. The in­ vestment would meet the computer needs of other departments as well, the art department being one example. The type of computer would be a new edi­ tion of the' Compugraphic. The equip­ ment, King also said, "would be used by the media production people in the poster and design shop." George Harper, faculty advisor for the Observer, said, "We are in the posi­ tion of having antiquated equipment." He says the machines in use are break­ ing down and something must be done. King said of the present equipment, "It is outdated, and not in the best of repair." King says the department, through Tumball's looking into the cost of the Apple computers from Miller, has in mind "a couple of desktop-publishing systems," one set for the news side and another for the advertising side. "What we had in mind, we thought, was a nice little system," he says. What Turnball found, and what Miller recommeded was a system with two machines and two printers.
Page 4 — The Observer Thursday, February 18, 1988 Spring Ware Fair called due to lack of interest By NICK BEAUMONT Staff Writer Since Parent's Weekend is being held the weekend after Mother's Day, a usual spring quarter happening will not happen. Mother's Day is May 8, and because Parent's Weekend is being held the weekend after, the spring quarter Ware Fair will not take place. Karen Moawad, director of the SUB, said the plan has been to "always schedule Ware Fair to go along with Mother's Day." It is looking as if this year will be different. Ware Fair has been a twice-a-year event at Central for fourteen years, tak­ ing place during the last three or four weeks of fall and spring quarters. Traditionally, fall quarter Ware Fairs have had many booths and merchants. The spring quarter Ware Fairs, Moawad said, differ in that "spring fairs are usually smaller than fall fairs ..but expenses are about the same.'' Moawad said this is related to the demise of the spring quarter Ware Fair. "It's not economically feasible to do the Spring Fair," she said.

Washington Senate Bill 5688 says that commercial activity undertaken on the university must be aimed at the school's educational purposes. The Ware Fair, with a number of off- campus merchants, is far from being within the bill's requirements. Last fall, there were 79 vendors sell­ ing merchandise at Ware Fair 43 per­ cent came from out-of-town, 32 percent were students representing their clubs, and 25 percent were local Ellensburg residents. Claire Floan, Ellensburg resident and owner of Leather and Lace, Ltd., likes the Ware Fair idea, but does have some complaints. "It was kind of a nice thing to have for the campus and local com­ munity," she said, but felt more local craftsmen and merchants should be in the fair. "I would like to see more em­ phasis on local craftsmen," said Floan. Despite the Ware Fair's being.gone next quarter, it will most likely be back for fall of '88. It is too popular an event to be put to rest so suddenly.

In the last year Frank Erickson, the owner of the Art of Jewelry, located in downtown Ellensburg, has diligently pursued the elimination of Ware Fair and later the Tent-n-Tube, under the pretense that these student services unfairly compete with the downtown businesses. The Small Business Committees, comprised of downtown community and University community members, are right now arguing over issues that, if passed, will most likely eliminate the Ware Fair and the Tent-n-Tube. These issues will be brought up at the Board of Trustees' meeting this Friday afternoon. If the Board of Trustees' (the highest governing body of the university) and the administration do not see student support at this meeting, they will assume that these services aren't important to us. In light of that assumption and in order to appease Frank Erickson, the administration may very likely support the closing of the Tent-n-Tube and the banning of Ware Fair. And if this happens, who knows? It is possible to jeapordize the Bookstore, University Recreation (the ski trips, the Leavenworth Tree Lighting Festival), the Conference Center, the SUB Cafeteria, the Games Room, etc. We believe that the students want these services, but a few of us telling the administration is not enough. The bottom line is that if you want to protect these student services, you need to show up at the Board of Trustees meeting at 12:30 on Friday in room 143 of Bouillon Hall. We will be there voicing our concerns, but to make them legitimate, you need to be with us. In addition to showing up to the Board of Trustees' meeting, please call your legislator on the Toll-Free Hotline Number 1-800-562-8000 and appose SSB 5708.

Students are Faced with Issues that will Change Central Policy » wmm mmmm By Peter Laney Representative to Faculty Senate I have recently been appointed to the ASCWU Board of Directors as Representative to Faculty Senate. The process of getting deeply involved in student government has been educa­ tional and has opened my eyes to the number of complex issues that exist. Whether or not you believe it or take any interest in student government, it is alive and working for you! Regarding these issues, lots of students have asked me, "What's going on?" and have expressed that "If I would have known about that I would have said something." Listed below are some of the current issues that I feel you should know about. 1. Ware Fair and Tent-n-Tube are under fire from the administration and certain downtown businesses. These will pro­ bably be eliminated unless you, the students, voice your opinions on February 19th, at the Board of Trustees' meeting. 2. The Withdrawal Policy is in the pro­ cess of review it may or may not in­ clude a $10 FEE PER CLASS DROP­ PED, even during add/drop. 3. The course SUBSTITUTION POLICY is being questioned - are you for or against the present policy?. 4. SEVERE RESTRICTIONS ARE ABOUT TO BE PLACED ON BIKES - offenders of the new policy will be referred directly to Lower Kittitas County District Court. 5. SKATEBOARDS ARE ABOUT TO BE BANNED ON CAMPUS. 6.1 understand there are plans to con­ vert approximately half the SUB PARK­ ING LOT INTO A "GREEN AREA". This would eliminate more of the already scarce parking available to the students. 7. COMPUTER STICKERS: Is the fee too high? Does the way the stickers are administered seem inefficient to you? 8. Would you like to have a STUDENT COURSE GUIDE at CWU? I am gather­ ing information about the previously proposed course guide. If you have been to another school that had offered one, please let me know. 9. Lack of communication between FINANCIAL AID and MITCHELL HALL always seems to be a problem. I would be glad to hear your story. 10. There is a possibility of FULL PREPAYMENT OF TUITION at preregistration. 11. Preregistration: has it helped or hindered the registration process? 12. How could the BOD communicate better with you? I am trying to draw attention to the fact that these issues affect you and your opinions and views DO count!

6 — The Observer Thursday, February 18, 1988 Disabled athlete inspires others By RENEE RICKETTS Scene Editor Doug Heir has accumulated approx­ imately 150 medals from national and international competitions in just six years. And all this was done in a wheelchair. At the age of 18, while he was atten­ ding Alfred University in upstate New York and working as a lifeguard at a New Jersey public pool, Heir met with an accident which confined his once energetic, athletic body to a wheelchair. The inspiring story of his come-back has been featured in a number of ar­ ticles and T.V. talk shows, and recently became the subject of a book, a movie, and an ASCWU special appearance in CWU's SUB pit last Thursday. While the six-foot-four, 230-pound football player was on duty at the pool, he dove in after a boy who appeared to be drowning. "He was just joking," Heir reflected. "I don't even think he knew what happened." What did happen was no joke. Heir hit his head on the cement bottom of the HEIR — Visited CWU last week. pool and broke his neck. Suddenly placed in a situation where everything but giving up was ex- crutiatingly difficult, Heir learned to re­ ly on his inner strength and that of his loved ones. "Family support was ter­ rific it was instrumental. Friends would come and go, but you can't beat the family life," he said. Heir's courage and drive, and the support he received from family and friends defied the odds his doctors allowed. The disabling injury which once prevented Heir from lifting one- pound wrist weights has been over­ come, to the point where he now lifts over 400 pounds. Although Heir described his pre- accident football and wrestling perfor­ mance as being "okay—no major league standings," he became involved in sports again because he liked "that competitive edge." He is now competing and achieving ' 'things I never thought would be possi­ ble." Monumental mental and physical success has earned Heir the title of Best Overall Wheelchair Athlete in the World. Heir has collected countless gold medals in the shot put, javelin, discus, and pentathlon—which includes a one mile and a 100 meter race. He has faced "very stiff" competition at the 1982 World Games, the 1984 World Olympic Games, and the 1986 World Champion­ ships in Europe, as well as national competitions and he is excited about the 1988 summer Olympics in Seoul, Korea. Achieving physical greatness was not the end of the road for Heir. While he was still in rehabilitation, he was also back in school studying law. "Law school is a challenge," Heir said. "It's only a matter of time before you get out and you're licensed." Once licensed as a plaintiff's at- L§ torney, Heir joined a prestigious firm |8 and specialized in cases of serious in- % jury. "It's a great opportunity to help ' ~ other people and affect other people's lives," said Heir. Heir considers some courtroom au- OLYMPICS — Doug Heir still works to discover his mind and body's full potential after a crippling accident He is now a world class athlete, and tours with his motivational speech. diences to be immature. "You go into the room and they think you're the plaintiff because you're in a wheelchair," he said. "You can't let how other people see you affect you." This inspirational speech takes Heir on the road every week and away from his training, his law career, the 13 boards and organizations of which he is a member, and his nationwide, large- scale construction company, Access Corporation. When he finds spare time, Heir spends it with family and Mends. "I like the ocean, I like nice scenery, and mud wrestling," said Heir with a chuckle. He would also like to write more, and be an actor. According to Heir, whether he stars in the movie of his life story is "iffy—it all depends on who brings in the biggest draw of people." As for Heir's attaining the prestige of a superstar, the fact that his face was seen on five million boxes of Wheaties speaks for itself. Part two in the series Why wome By Lyssa J. Loftis Staff Writer Editors note: In the next issue, Part III addresses the many resources available for treatment of addictions of all types. In her books on the subject of women who are consistently involved in destructive relationships, Robin Nor­ wood refers to them as "relationship addicts." Counselor Jackie Wittman of the Student Health Center calls them "chaos junkies." They are women accustomed to crisis. They literally live from one crisis to another because it is the only way they know how to live. They find or­ dinary, average men "boring." "A common thread among such women is that they come from dysfunc­ tional families, meaning that there was sexual abuse, physical violence, or ver­ bal abuse of some type in the childhood home," said Wittman. Graduating from CWU in '83 with a master's degree in counseling psychology, Wittman served an intern­ ship at Memorial Hospital in Yakima. She later worked for Comprehensive Mental Health of both Yakima and Kit­ titas Counties. Her current work as a counselor is mainly in the area of sexual assault, incest, and domestic violence. "The typical woman [who is a victim of domestic violence] came from a physically, sexually, or verbally abusive home. She typically marries early, around age eighteen, marries an abusive man. There's a divorce. Not long after there's a second marriage, also abusive. In between there may be the dating of abusive men, possibly a third marriage," said Wittman, in describing the pattern typical among severely "relationship addicted" women. Such a woman is unable to break the cycle on her own. She continually in­ volves herself in one bad relationship after another, preferring to try to con­ trol or change the man, rather than seek a man she can accept "as is," and one who can meet her basic needs. For a time, the man may stay. But, typically, he is unable to fulfill her needs. Even when confronted with abandonment, the woman may not be able to let go. She may try such manipulative maneuvers as suicide threats, late-night tearful phone calls, or even physical violence. Studies indicate that 80 percent of domestic violence cases, and women in­ volved in relationship addiction of other types are in some way connected to the abuse of alcohol and drugs. Often, the woman is from a home where one or both parents were alcoholic. Hie men these women choose are also chemical­ ly dependent. Some of the women themselves are addicts. They may not only be addicted to the man, but to food (as with anorexia and bulimia), or sex, or drugs and alcohol, or gambling. In living with an addict, the issue of co-dependency arises. Co-dependency, or co-addiction, is what happens to the people who live with someone who is an addict. Hie co-dependent becomes emotionally sick from attempts to con­ trol the behavior of the addict.The need to control other people and events is a key factor in children from dysfunc­ tional homes. Wittman said that approximately 75 percent of the women die sees are from dysfunctional homes, usually alcoholic homes. These women become the caretakers of their husbands and children—in an unhealthy way. Yet, when involved in abusive rela­ tionships, these women often see themselves as too dependent to leave. They say they have no money, no place to go, and cannot live without the man Both partners in a domestic violence situation are often dependent upon Please see Abuse page 7 When asked if he ever expected to ac­ complish so much and be known so widely, Heir replied, "Not at all, cer­ tainly not be on a Wheaties box or anything. That was the last thing I ever thought would happen. It was kinda neat." Heir's presentation encourages all ages and walks of life to discover their self-worth and to look at what they can do, rather than dwell on what they can't, and to like themselves as they are. His campaign inspires many, and adds life and power to the old adage "Go for it!" Club offers relief to abuse victims By NICK BEAUMONT Staff Writer Students and Staff for the Education and Prevention of Sexual Assault (STEPS) is a student organization with professional ties that works to university students about acquaintance and date rape, and provide support for those who have been attacked or feel they have been attacked. The organization holds meetings the first Tuesday of every month at the Counseling Center at 6 p.m., and welcomes anyone who wishes to at­ tend. According to Darcy Buell, treasurer of STEPS, "We have a mailing list of students and professionals of about 40." Hie organization's main objective is to help those who are student victims of any form of rape. "It's a support system. {We] try to help them make decisions," said Buell. Beyond offering support, the organization does residence hall talks, and presentations at the EUensburg High Schools and the other state uni' ver­ sifies. Some of STEPS' members recent­ ly participated in a talk/presentation in Bellingham, according to Buell. We do dorm talks about swnial assault and date rape," Buell said. Most talks are about acquaintance rape and date rape." STEPS is offering advocate-training to any interested LGA's at the beginning of spring quarter. Organization staff, although they are in the midst of elections for new of­ ficers, are Marie Canida, president Darcy Buell, treasurer Theressia Hazelmyer, secretary and Jay Osborne, education coordinator.

Thursday, February 18, 1988 continued from page 6 each other, and each is trying to control the other. A man who is abusive toward his wife or girlfriend is nearly always a man who was an abused child. The man attempts to control his partner by the only means he knows— coercion, threats, and ultimately, violence. Violence often begins with verbal abuse. Later, even years into the rela­ tionship, physical violence appears: And then it escalates. The woman usually views the violence as her fault. She sees herself as having done something to trigger the violence, or she makes excuses for his behavior. She will try to change her behavior to prevent the abuse from recurring. And when there is more abuse, she is often too afraid or guilt-ridden to report it. Admitting that she needs help may be the hardest thing to do but if a woman wants help, there are many resources available. In her counseling sessions, Wittman tries to create a safe environment for battered women to open up about their feelings and problems^ "With students, sometimes the pro- blems are masked as depression or anx­ iety at first. Sometimes the issue of abuse doesn't come out until later," said Wittman. Many women living in unhealthy relationships have been sexually molested by family members, par­ ticularly their fathers, from a very young age. With their primary bond with a male violated from childhood, they have little chance of forming healthy relationships with men as adults. Relationship addiction clearly takes many paths, ultimately resulting in'the destructive, often dangerous lives of the women involved. Recent studies have shown domestic violence to be the leading cause of death among women. Interview with a relationship addict The Observer — Page 7 By LYSSA J. LOFTIS Staff Writer Not all relationship addicts were abused physically or sexually as children. Many were deprived emo­ tionally in some way. And some were forced into unhealthy caretaker roles as a result of the death or illness of a primary family memberJ Forced to grow up too soon, these children tend to become adults who are very needy in their relationships with m6n. One such woman is Liz, a 30-year-old mother of three, who grew up in an alcoholic home. Both parents were sober and in recovery programs from the time Liz was very young. Still, there were unhealthy patterns of relating and unresolved conflict in the home. "My parents would get into scream­ ing fights that would last for hours, even days. Lean remember them hurling obscenities at each other. And my father was always made out to be the bad guy," said Iiz. Liz married at age 18, as is typical, to escape the anger of her homelife. She lived three years with her alcoholic hus­ band. "He was not abusive to me, but he did abuse my son. He drank, stayed out late, and couldn't handle anything. We fought in much the same manner as my parents. And I didn't recognize that at the time." Liz divorced and moved across the country, marrying another alcoholic. "I should have seen this one coming," she said. "He was just so obviously sick. But, I thought I could 'fix' him. He was drinking, unresponsive, suicidal, and very jealous. But, as is typical of a co- dependent, I hung on long after the pain was horrible. I was depressed, nervous, unable to function. At one point I was suicidal.

Liz said that was the first time she sought help through a therapist. But the experience was an expensive and bitter one. The therapist did not understand her problems, and violated the counselor/client relationship by making sexual advances toward her. She left therapy, and later left her husband. "It is difficult to explain to anyone who has not lived with the disease of alcoholism. A person who is a co- dependent has so many sick ways of looking at life and is so lonely. Yet, there are millions of women just like me. At treatment centers across the country, they are including families of alcoholics more and more in their pro­ grams. It is really a family disease," said Liz. Liz went through a series of unhealthy relationships before finally finding help in a twelve-step program. Liz said that she knew long before anyone identified her problem as "rela­ tionship addiction" that she somehow attracted the "wrong men." But know­ ing wasn't enough she didn't see quite how to change. "The men were always what I call 'sick puppies.' One book I read comes right out and calls them 'bastards.' Basically, they were usually alcoholic, always trouble, and often very charm­ ing on the surface. Some of them were very good to me in the beginning. That's typical, I'm finding out. It is the way they get you hooked. They're so nice in the early stages of the relationship that you can't understaiid why they don't stay that way. And you are forever try­ ing to make them 'change back.' " Iiz described her most recent failed relationship as one that appeared to be healthy for nearly a year. She had spent some time in a twelve-step program for families of alcoholics, so she had some HOMBTVLC DOUBLE idea that her behavior with her alcoholic husbands had been unhealthy. "I deliberately chose a man I would never have been attracted to before. He was younger. I always went for older men. He was not an addict, and he was very affectionate. I found out rather abruptly after a year of seeing him, that he had been seeing other women and lying to me all along. I was heartbroken and had a terrible time letting go of him. I even considered suicide. It was then that I realized how serious relationship addiction was," said Liz. It was the help and support of friends, and her own willingness to work harder in the recovery program that helped Iiz work through her addiction to "bad men." "Recovery takes work. It often takes years to learn new ways of relating to men and finding new ways of looking at yourself. I'm in a fairly healthy relation­ ship now, but I find myself slipping into old patterns of behavior and I have to consciously work at recovery daily." "I have a lot of women friends who are in various stages of relationship ad­ diction. If a woman dates a man and begins to see that he is not good for her, but she can't make herself break free and somehow fantasizes that he will change, she is practising relationship addiction. There doesn't have to be physical abuse theretall that has to be present is her need to control him and she has all the makings of a woman who loves too much. "As women we need to love and ac­ cept ourselves first. We need to 'get real' about who we are and what we want. If we have the capacity to be honest with ourselves and others, we find that the people in our lives will either stay or go, but we don't have to 'need' them to stay so badly that we deceive and deprive ourselves."

Page 8 — The Observer Thursday, February 18, 1988 French films play in town By BARBARA RADKE University Relations For those who just cannot get enough of that Gallic charm, who want to brush up on their French, or who want to soak up five days of European culture, Ellensburg's French Film Festival has it all. The fourth annual movie series, running February 19-23, is sponsored by the CWU foreign languages department, CWU international programs office, liberty Theater, and the French Embassy in New York. The five new films, not yet released to American theaters, are in French with English subtitles. They will be shown at the liberty Theater at 8:45 p.m. daily. Admission is $2 at the door or $8 for a series ticket, available at the CWU foreign languages department, L&L 102. A portion of the proceeds from series ticket sales will be contributed to the University's foreign language scholar­ ship fund by the liberty Theater. The 1988 series begins tomorrow with La FemmeDe Ma Vie (The Woman of My Life). Variety magazine describes the 1986 production as "a first film [by director Regis Warghier] of considerable dramatic force and cinematic skill, relating the psychological torments of an alcoholic musician' s struggle to get back on the wagon without the help of his wife, whose exclusive sense of love is an abiding threat to his equilibrium." The Saturday feature is Rouge Baiser (Red Kiss), released in 1985. Starring 18-year-old Charlotte Vanandrey, dubbed France's newest film star by The New York Times, the film is an autobiographical account of director Vera Bal- mont's adolescence. Valandrey earned the best actress award at the 1986 Berlin Film Festival for her performance as the "passionately Stalinist daughter of Polish Jewish refugees in Paris in 1952, whose love affair with a politically conservative newsman changes her outlook and relationships," according to the Times. La Triche (The Cheat) will be screened Sunday evening. Director Yannick Bellon tackles the subject of homosexuality in the 1984 production, weaving a tale about a respected Bordeaux police detective and family man whose at­ traction to a young musician becomes hard to conceal. His family's reaction, and a murder investigation that might threaten his career, keep the action quick and tense. The series ends Tuesday, February 23, with Buffet Froid (Cold Cuts), an absurdist 1979 release by Academy Award-winning director Bertrand Blier, who says the movie is "about the unmotivated violence we meet more and more these days." The film is described as "a marvelous new impertinence" by Variety, full of' 'bizarre nocturnal misadventures that draw three hapless folks together in an inescapable compicity of murder, treachery and parnoid flight." The Miami Herald calls it "a cops-and-robbers movie turned completely inside- out." The local five-film series is arranged by CWU French professor Kelton Knight, with movies provided by the French Embassy's cultural services divi­ sion, offering first-run films to American universities and cultural centers. Philippe Met, cultural attache from the French Embassy in San Francisco, will be in Ellensburg for several days during the festival, talking about the films after their screenings, according to Knight.

They help preserve our food and make it look and taste better. Many think of food additives as being dangerous chemicals, but in reality the most commonly used additives are sugar, salt, and corn syrup. Food additives are strictly regulated by the FDA. Before a new additive can be used, the manufacturers must prove its safety. Once an additive is shown to be safe, the FDA sets guidelines for its use. If you are concerned about consuming too many additives, here are some ways to avoid them: 1. Eat fresh or minimally processed foods. 2. Read food labels. 3. Limit your intake of foods listing "artificial colors." 4.

Page 10 — The Observer Thursday, February 18, 1988 Cagers avenge losses beat Seattle U., Puget Sound By GEORGE EDGAR Staff Writer The Central Washington Wildcats men's basketball team capped their 1988 regular season home schedule with a pair of hard fought victories this past weekend. First, the Wildcats avenged an earlier loss to Seattle University by defeating them 90-70 Saturday night. Then, they avoided a series sweep at the hands of Puget Sound with a tough 79-71 win on Monday night. In both games, Central was led by "super" forward Carl Aaron. Against Seattle, he hit 25 points, 23 in the first half. In the UPS contest, he scored a season-high 36 points despite going scoreless for the last ten minutes he played. "Carl was out of sight," said head coach Dean Nicholson after the UPS game, "he was just super. We had good execution in getting the ball to him in the right spot." The two wins helped Central solidify its second place standing in NAIA district I play with a 11-4 mark and 17-9 overall record. They are assured of one home playoff game when the district playoffs get underway in March. Central is expected to battle front-running Western Washington for the right to play in Kansas City. Central heads for Alaska this weekend to play Sheldon Jackson on Saturday and Alaska Southeast the following Sunday. The 'Cats then close out the regular season against St. Mar­ tin's in Lacey on Feb. 25. The game with Seattle saw some un­ characteristic ball handling on Central's part. They turned the ball over 28 times and had it stolen 14 times. The contest also saw some ugly moments that resulted in technical fouls against both squads being assess­ ed. With Central ahead 40-21 at the 3:09 mark of the first half, forward Kenny Thompson argued a call with one of the referees. The argument resulted in two technical shots for Seattle's Ron Kuhn. But the 'Cats were in the middle of an 18-5 run at the time to go up 48-25, then followed up with a dunk by Bryan Gerig, en route to a 52-30 lead at the intermission. The second technical was against the Chieftains in the second half. The 'Cats were well ahead 79-48 with five and a half minutes remaining, when Israel Dorsey and Seattle's Tony Pope got tangled up under the basket after a Central free throw. Pope did a poor im­ itation of Larry Holmes and took a sw­ ing at Dorsey. The incident led to Pope's automatic ejection from the game. The loss was Seattle's seventh in a row since beating CWU over on their home court last Jan. 21. The Chieftains are now 7-7 in District I and 11-14 overall. Art Haskins followed up Aaron's showing with 13 points and had eight rebounds, along with his fellow for­ ward. Gerig added 12 and Kevin Bur­ ton contributed 10. Against the Loggers, Central was given all it could handle by UPS, a team that had beaten them twice in December. If it hadn't been for Aaron's 24 points in the first half over UPS' Maurice Selvin, the 37-37 halftime score would've been much different. UPS applied a lot of pressure against Aaron at the start of the second half, allowing him only one basket in a 6:46 stretch. But Aaron succeeded in pass­ ing the ball off to his teammates before Jack Forney fouled him, putting him at the line for the first 30-point individual effort of the year for Central. Aaron increased the Wildcat lead with another pair of free throws to 59-50 with 11:32 left. The Loggers cut the lead down to five twice over the next six minutes, but Central finally ic­ ed the game with a pair of Haskin foul shots, followed by a shot by Gerig off a turnover to go up 74-64 with 2:12 re­ maining. Dave Biwer and Gerig were the only other 'Cats in double figures withh 11 points each, with Biwer having a team- high nine rebounds. The Loggers were led by Jay Brewer with 17 points and Selvin With 16 points. ©iiisS SBSSSsS ssssss IHiH mmt- mmm wmmsm illtiil KliiilssiSiSSllii SB8®85 isllll mmm Wit% BLOCKIN' — Central's Kenny Thompson tries to block a shot at­ tempt by a Seattle opponent. Central men beat Puget Sound finish undefeated By MATT BRADEN Staff Writer The men's swim team made history last Thursday as they flushed the Log­ gers of Puget Sound 95-88 in Tacoma. Central finished 9-0 on the season. This is the first time they have registered back-to-back undefeated seasons. The women also battled the Loggers, but fell short 104-79.

Second-year student-coach Rob Phelan said, "It was a good two years, but more importantly is what happens at nationals." The mala 'Cats had to swim through some rough waves during the meet, as the score was even most of the even­ ing. Actually, the outcome was decid­ ed in the final race when Central had to win the event and take third place as well. Instead of first and third, the men swept first and second place, capping a Wildcat victory. "It was a good two years, but more importantly is what hap­ pens in nationals." — Student-coach Rob Phelan "It was nice to beat UPS," head coach Bob Gregson said. "They knew we were undefeated this year, and they were out to get us." Defending national champions Tom Ham and Tom Drury were the stars for the 'Cats in the meet, racing their way to victories every time they dove in. Drury won three solo shots, while Ham axed the competition twice on his own and once in a relay. Probably the most impressive per­ formance of the meet was Drury's 200-meter butterfly, when he stroked his way to a meet record. His time of 2:08.39 sliced the old record by .51 seconds which was set back in 1984 by ex-Central great John Sayre. He also won the 400- (4:11.22) and 800-meter (8:43.62) freestyles. Ham's 100 (52.47) and 200 (1:57.16) freestyle swims wiped out the com­ petition for dual wins. He was a member of the first-place 400 freestyle relay team as well. The other three (Steve Deligan, Erik Hanson, and Chad Younquist) combined to finish the event in 3:38.90. ThedCats other freestyle relay team of Mike McGuire, Frasier MacDonell, Mike Hall, and Buzz Vickery chopped past the Logger boys in a time of 3:42.45. Also performing at peak level was another national champion, JeffHillis, who edged by his opponents in the 200 breaststroke (2:29.46). The women were "awe-struck" by the dominating Log-squad, and only won two events. "The UPS women were extremely well-prepared for this meet," Gregson said. Hie first Wildcat win came in the opening event, the 400 medley relay, which included Lorijo Claunch, Deb­ bie Gray, Maureen Flury, and Julie Wetzel in a meet-record time of 4:40.80. Maybe the night's finest women's performance came on Chris Hayden's second-place finish, by .5 a second, in the 400 freestyle (4:35.71) behind lady Logger Stacy Carlson. Both times were fast enough to crush the meet record (by nearly four seconds) set in 1984, by ex-UPS standout and three-time NCAA division II national champion Sarah Rudolph. "The women had some outstanding swims," said assistant-coach Lori Clark, "but it was difficult to tell how fast the times really were because it was in a 25-meter pool." "It was nice to beat UPS. They knew we were undefeated this year, and they were out to get us." — Coach Gregson Today, Friday, and Saturday's district meet will be swum in yards, so times will be easily identified. To win the meet, the Wildcat swimmers will need -some more outstanding swims. The next stop is the national meet in Orlando, Florida, the 2nd-5th of March.
Thursday, February 18, 1988 The Observer — Page 11 Swimmers travel to By MATT BRADEN Staff Writer The 1987-88 regular season came to a close for the swim team last Thursday with the men's team capping one of its finest seasons's ever, and the women having struggled against some very tough competition that will surely pay dividends come tourney time. The last six months of training will hopefully pay off for the 'Cats, as they begin post-season competitipn at the district swimming and diving meet in Olympia today through Saturday. All NAIA schools and a few com­ munity colleges from around the Nor­ thwest will be involved. In the past, Central has faired excep­ tionally well in the meet, with the men winning the district title the past six straight years while the women have won the last four. But what about this year? According to assistant coach Lori Clark, "The men should win the meet... but UPS will give us some stiff competiton." On the other hand, "UPS should be the favorite to win it for the women," Clark said, "I consider us to be the underdog." Teams competing in the meet are allowed to send a maximum of 17 swimmers and two divers (or 18 and one respectively) from each of the men's and women's teams to the meet. Central will send 17 and two from each team. The following is a roster of the swim­ mers expected to compete at Evergreen. ' * • The lady swimmers representing CWU will be: Cheri Bortleson, Lorijo Claunch, Maureen Flury, Michelle Flury, Debbie Gray, Audra Ham- merschmidt, Chris Hayden, Laura Hill, Cyndi Hudon, Moni McBeth, Leigh Norling, Kris Schatz, Lisa Thomas, Tiffany Voorhees, Julie Wetzel, Sharon Wilson, and Julie Zent- ner. The men will include: Kevin DeKoster, Steve Deligan, Tom Drury, Mike Hall, Erik Hanson, Tom Harn, Jeff Hillis, Brian Hull, Fraser Mac- Donell, Mike McGuire, Aric Moss, Eric Peter, Kyle Rodenberger, Buzz Vickery, Anthony Woerner, Scott Yates, and Chad Youngquist. The four Central divers competing will be: Tim Barlow, Cairew Halleck, Karen Crain, and Jill Shaw. "UPS should be the favorite to win it for the women." — Coach Lori Clark This will be the last opportunity for the swimmers to qualify for the na­ tional meet, and in order to make the flight to Orlando, Florida the coaches require a swimmer to make the time standard in at least two events. "The meet should be a good one all the way around," said head coach Bob Gregson. "With UPS showing a very strong team, we should finally get some, competition... we've been dominating the meet for a long time now." And the dynasty may continue if the Wildcats can execute a bunch of outstanding performances from their swimmers. Lucas qualifies for meet in the mile By NEAL STURGEON Guest Writer CWU sophomore Heather Lucas qualified for the NAIA Indoor National Championships last Saturday at the University of Washington's Hec Ed- mondson Pavilion. Lucas broke the qaualifying stan­ dard of 5:12 by 8.1 seconds, when she coasted to a fifth-place finish in an unofficial time of 5:03.9 on the 200-meter flat, rubber track. The elated Lucas, who missed quali­ fying in a meet held last week by less than a second, feels that her marathon training this winter is starting to pay off. "I originally planned to run in a marathon in February. But the closer I got to the track season, the more I realized that it could ruin my track season. Now I have all these miles under my belt, and I think they are starting to pay off,"'Heather said. Mary Veneziani, Jody Dempewoite, and Jill Shaw will all be running in the Seaside Marathon which will be held in Oregon on Feb. 27.

Pace 12 — The Observer Mat men travel to Alaska prepare for districts CLASSIFIEDS By GUILLERMO CABALLERO Sports Editor Central Washington University's wrestling team, having just returned from a trip to Alaska where it took on NAIA powerhouse Alaska Pacific last weekend, is back in the wrestling room preparing for this weekend's district meet at Pacific Lutheran University in Tacoma. The district meet will be the last op­ portunity to qualify for the national tournament, which will be held at PLU March 3-5. The top wrestler from each weight class will, advance to the na­ tional meet. Only four schools will compete in districts. Three of the schools represented have already qualified the bulk of their respective line-ups, so CWU wrestlers will have their work cut out for them. Alaska Pacific is one of those schools, and last weekend the Wildcats discovered why it is ranked second in the NAIA. You could say that deuces were wild for Alaska Pac.: Ranked se­ cond, won two meets against Central, and allowed only two individual vic­ tories for Central in each of them. Ed Lacross (167) and Bill Walker (HWT) picked up the only victories for Central in the first meet, and Chris Riley (118) and Walker picked up Cen­ tral's lone wins in the second match. Coach Greg Ford said that the final scores did not tell the story, suggesting that some pages were left out. "We were on the mat in our first dual less than an hour after we got off the plane. Some of our wrestlers were really flat. Chris Riley is a good exam­ ple, he was completely dominated by a kid that he's pinned twice this season,'' said Ford. Ford also said that he thought the of­ ficiating could have been much better, but said that Alaska Pacific is "an awfully tough squad" and even if all the conditions were right, Central would have had its hands full trying to beat their arctic foes. Central's hands were not full against Eastern Washington University last Thursday, but they were, so to speak, "tied up." After Riley received a forfeit at 118, Chris Mason pinned his opponent at 126 to put Central up 12-0. However, the Eagles came soaring back, winning four of the next five matches to go ahead 18-15. Joe LeBresh pick up a big win for Central at 177 lbs., defeating Eastern's Hall 17-10. Hall had picked up two solid wins against LeBresh earlier in the season. Then with the score tied going into the heavyweight match, a win from either Eastern's Boni or Bill Walker for Central would have clinched a victory for their team. Ironically, the two wrestled to a -'raw, to make the final margin 24-24. Unfortunately for the Eagles, the dif­ ference in the match turned out to be a point that Eastern was penalized in the 118 pound match for unsport­ smanlike conduct IT'S A SURE SHOT! $ 5 Get your PADI full open water certification within a ten day period, $150.
