m Central ROTC cadets face decisions about their futures in the military after the CWU program was cancelled last month. These students are forced to look at other lower- quality college ROTC programs in the na­ tion. Lip Sync 88 was won by a group of dancers from Or- chesis. The group performed "BAD" by Michael Jackson for their winning act. Some 800 students attended the event last Friday in Mc- Connell Auditorium. Wildcat trainer Tom Spencer has been hired by the Milwaukee Brewers for a seven-month stint with the American League baseball club. A former Mariner bat- boy, Spencer will begin his duties in March. • THE Volume 6, Issue No. 7 Thursday, February 25, 1988 Central Washington University Ellensburg, Washington Trustees discuss business activity By KELLEY R. WOOD Staff Writer In the beginning, we lost the Spring Plant Sale. Before long the University Store began limiting its lines of mer­ chandise. Now it is cutbacks in Tent-N- Tube and the Ware Fair—what will be next? The Observer? KCAT, the cam­ pus radio status^ Th^erp^UC- tions? These are only a few of the areas that could be affected by the Commercial Activities Policy that was an issue of great controversy at the Board of Trustees meeting on Friday. This policy was approved by the Board of Trustees last fall and was distributed among the various depart­ ments on campus. The policy was to in­ sure that all commercial activities were in accord with the University's primary purpose of discovering and creating new knowledge, preserving and transmitting it, and applying it to life's experiences. Simply stated, the policy was to insure that the University would no longer compete with the communi­ ty- Mike little, student body president, initiated the report on commercial ac­ tivities by presenting a petition with 1200 student signatures in support of Ware Fair and Tent-N-Tube. "Ware Fair is a sanction of good will and public service to the community on behalf of the students here at the University," explained little. "These services in the SUB are important to the morale for the student life here at Cen­ tral." Concerning the Tent-N-Tube, Presi­ dent Donald Garrity explained that when he came here, the shop was con­ siderably smaller and didn't offer as many services as it does today. It also only catered to the students and staff. "We then began to offer services to those outside erf the University com­ munity as a result of their request," stated Garrity. "Now the heartburn that comes from a constant flow of un­ fortunate criticism and representation of our University just isn't worth it." As for Ware Fair, it will still be held, but altered at the request of the Ellensburg Chamber of Commerce's small business advising committee. Merchants of the Ware Fair will have to obtain a business license and will be reviewed by the Ware Fair jury com­ mittee as to what can be displayed and sold at the three day event. Jerry Williams and Frank Erickson, Ellensburg community merchants, at­ tended the meeting and expressed their views. "This is a very, very complicated issue," said Jerry Williams of Jerrol's Bookstore. "We must settle on facts and not by what we want and like or what we don't want or don't like. I run a store in great competition of the Univer­ sity Store and have no intentions of put­ ting anybody out of business. We do have to protect the tax base of Ellensburg." On the same note, but definitely not the same tone, Frank Erickson express­ ed his views on the policy. "This is an exorcism of bureaucratic humanism, apathy, and fear," said Erickson, owner of the Art of Jewelry on 309 North Pearl, as he waived his American flag at the Board of Trustees. "All I'm asking is that the jewelers be eliminated from the Ware Fair. This isn't a business restitution, you are sup­ ported by state taxpayer's money. For 15 years I've been under the thumb of this unfair situation.

Page 2 — The Observer Thursday, February 25, 1988 it II Involvement is up to students By LOREN D. WOHLGEMUTH JR Editor At the beginning of the quarter, I had one goal—to improve this newspaper. I had very lofty ideas. We weren 't going to print badly written stories we weren 't going to stick our collective journalistic feet in our mouths and our coverage of local events would attract readership. So what happened? Things are still not at a level that I am proud of. Our overall writing is not professional. The problem isn't that our writers aren't good—they just haven't written enough to become comfor­ table with the journalistic style. Because of this inexperience, the whole publishing process suf­ fers—advertisements aren't properly produced and stories aren't submit­ ted on time. In one year, the number of staff writers on The Observer has decreased from 22 to the six we now have. As a result, our coverage of all subjects has decreased—a result that I don't necessarily enjoy. In that same year, the advertising revenue for The Observer has stayed at a relatively stable level This means that to avoid letting The Observer look like the Nickle Ads, we must put senseless articles in our publica­ tion—often in the early hours of Wednesday morning—to fill the space. And yet, in spite of our problems we continue to publish a weekly newspaper—never missing our printing deadline. Last week, we printed an article that stated our equipment is outdated and getting very tired. Not only is the equipment getting very tired, I am as well. It is distressing to hear people criticize our efforts without taking the time to come in and observe our process (no pun intendedf. One of the drawbacks to publishing a campus newspaper is that story ideas must come from the students. Rarely do we receive story ideas from our readers. These tips are welcomed, especially itemsi about Central students with interesting accomplishments. Clubs and organizations oh campus should be knocking down our door for publicity, yet none do. LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Elections : ?: : were successful To the Editor: Is student apathy alive and well at Central? I don't think so! Thanks to the pre-election hype on student involve­ ment, or lack of it, Central set a new voting record with 1,300 students voic­ ing an opinion on who our new ASCWU officers should be. To you 25 percent who took roughly 28 seconds from your busy schedule to vote, thank you. To the other 75 percent, you have another chance on March 3rd to choose what seven people will serve you on the ASCWU BOD next year. Another encouraging action was the support for Tent-n-Tube and Ware Fair. Approximately 1,200 students signed a petition that had a strong impact at the Board of Trustees meeting Friday, February 19th. Thanks to you and the many students who appeared at the meeting, Ware Fair will remain un­ changed. The Board of Trustees also complimented the students who were present on their maturity. Hiis improv­ ed the appearance of Central students and CWU as a whole. Your continued support is needed, though, as this subject will receive more attention. So keep your eyes and mind open for more information and don't forget to Rubes By Leigh Rubin Earlier today, I was given a copy of a survey conducted by a communica­ tions class regarding student opinions about The Observer. The results weren't surprising. •90% of Central students read at least part of The Observer. • The majority of readers read only articles that catch their eye. • 38% of those surveyed want to see more student profiles and activities articles. The group that conducted the survey concluded that the readers of The Observer want to see more—more pertinent information, more eye­ catching articles, and more clever advertising. Isn't that the attitude of everybody these days? "We want more, more, more." We want our candidates for ASCWU positions to do something for us. We don't know what, but we just want something done. When was the last time you called thz ASCWU office and brought up a concern—other than long lines at registration? Most of those candidates are quick to point out that they are there for you. Why not take them up on it and put them to work for you? Push them to make an effort regarding the absence of a cash machine on campus. One of the other state-supported schools just got one, where is ours? I know that I'm not alone in wanting greater student in­ volvement—every club on this campus wants your attention. The fact is the choice is up to you. You can go through your college days listening to Tiffany and drinking those coolers or you can take an active part in this community. Your college is home to you for at least four years. Don't you think you should take a peek out the windows and interact with fellow humans? I'm not campaigning for more writers—I just want the proverbial monkey off my back. It's like my dad always said—"Don't criticize if you can't or won't do a better job." As an interesting side note, the number of Letters to the Editor has drop­ ped off significantly of late. Just because I might write senseless dribble doesn't mean someone else hasn't stuck their foot in their mouth. I can't think of anybody right now, but give me some time: next week III have a target for my literary abuse. vote for your next ASCWU Board of Directors on March 3rd. Signed, Darin Pike Positive points on Ware Fair To the Editor: In reading Frank Erickson's Letter to the Editor (Feb. 18), I was struck by one thing: Mr. Erickson is quick to point out the "bad" things that Ware Fair brings to Ellensburg. He does not however, seem to mention any of the good things that it brings. He is overlooking the money that the merchants themselves bring to the town. T^ie same people who sale (sic) their goods also stay in local motels, eat at local restaurants, go to local bars, buy groceries and gas, and yes even shop at local businesses! As Assistant to the Ware Fair Co­ ordinator this last year, I had the oppor­ tunity to talk with alot fStc) of the mer­ chants. Many of them go to several shows throughout the year in "College Towns", and of all the people I talked with, everyone of them said this is the only show that faces opposition from the town itself. If Mr. Erickson feds that a three-day Arts and Crafts Festival, or the "Incidental merchants who stream through CWU. . ." are a direct threat to his business, perhaps he is in the wrong business.

Thursday, February 25, 1988 The Observer — Page 3 Bicycle regulations concern students, faculty By BARBARA SHAFFER Staff Writer Students, for the most part, agree with CWU school officials to regulate bicycles on campus sidewalks. Although student vote is not unanimous, most say bicyclists travel too fast in congested areas. Central's Board of Trustees decided Friday that bicycles and skateboards need to be regulated on campus. This would protect the university from wear and tear on facilities as well as liability suits that could arise from injuries. One proposed suggestion includes a beat policeman to deter bicyclists from traveling too fast. The policeman would work at the Walnut mall area which is considered on of the biggest problem areas. Student pedestrian Marty Taft says he does not favor bicyclists traveling the mall area during class changes. "I wish people were forced to walk," he says. According to Taft, "bicyclists do not have any guidelines to keep them slow." The Board of Trustees however, did acknowledge Friday that pedestrians do have the right of way if an area is con­ gested. Bicyclists are supposed to slow down or yield to pedestrians. Courtney Jones, Vice President for business and finance, said Friday that bicycles are still encouraged on cam­ Lifesaving award given LINDA FOGLE By SUSAN MONAHAN News Editor linHa Fogle, secretary of the art department, was awarded a plaque for her lifesaving skills. CWU Local Union 330 awarded Fogle a silver tray for her quick reaction which saved the life of a professor on campus. She also received and accom­ modation for her skills at last Friday's | Board of Trustees Meeting. Last December 28, a professor came into Fogle's office with respiratory pro- Hems. She called his physician, and was on the phone when the professor experienced cardiac arrest. She un-1 mediately began administering CPR- An ambulance arrived about five minutes after John Agar, chairman of die art department, made the urgent call. pus, however, safety should be of stronger consideration to the rider. Bicycling is encouraged because of an often large area to travel in a short amount of time. Student Bycyclist Scott Trout uses his bike for both recreation and transportation. Recently however, his bike has been a major source of transportation after Trout injured his ankle. Trout says, "There is no way i would have made it to class on time without my bike." A separte bike path for bicyclists is obviously the best solution says Jones, but is too expensive. Trout, however, suggests dividing the pathway into two areas, for those traveling north and those travelling south. Therefore creating more organization. Besides unorganization, Trout cited one pro­ blem as the way people use the path, "people walk four abreast in the middle of the sidewalk." He realizes at the same time that this is a natural way to walk and visit with friends. Skateboards were also the subject of debate during the meeting. Skateboards however, do not seem to pose a big pro­ blem in the minds of students or faculty on campus as do bicycles. Alan Gule- zain Professor of Business Administra­ tion, and Philip Backlund, Professor of communications both stood and vocalized their desires for regulating rather than banning skateboards on campus during Friday's meeting. & Ss • -M- •'M 'I" 'mi.L-wi 1 wmm • ^ mmm OKI mm- 'M CYCLING — Bicyclists weave their way through pedestrians in the mall Bicyclist Rochell Munger agrees that she has not seen the problems with skateboards as she has with bicycles. The proposed additions to the Ad­ ministrative Code would make it unlawful to use skateboards on cam­ pus. Those who do not comply could be prosecuted for trespassing, and if a stu­ dent, he or she could be charged with a violation of the student judicial code. Many students on campus have seen or been involved in bicycle accidents. Few students however, admit to seeing or being involved in a skateboarding ac­ cident. There are many solutions in the minds of students, faculty and ad­ ministration regarding the problems of bicycles and skateboards on campus. Cascade Cowboys go out fighting By SUSAN MONAHAN News Editor Four weeks ago, the Air Force of­ ficially notified CWU's ROTC detach­ ment 895 that their program would be terminated. However, that does not mean that the Cascade Cowboy's will go down without a fight. Colonel Richard Thompson stated, "Despite closure, we are following the orders of our bosses. But we have a unique way of doing things—we are still expanding." Thompson is offering a course entitl­ ed "Leadership Perspective" which will be open to all Central students. This is an attempt to introduce more students to the "blue suit attitude." He said, "The best we do up here is teach leadership." He would like to see more students learn the leadership qualities taught in the Air Force ROTC program. Although they can no longer enroll students in the ROTC program, they want to introduce students to another concept of leadership. To die cadre of detachment 8%, last week was not just another week, but 100 Percent Effort Week. Hie cadets were part of an effort to boost moral, and shake off the winter doldrums and the effects of the closure, which will oc­ cur after spring quarter 1989. Although cadets are saddened by the closure, they have an attitude of business as ususal. Last year they were ranked third in the nation, and are striv­ ing for first in the nation for 1988. "The purpose of 100 Percent Effort Week was to motivate the corp., demonstrate to the community we aren't going to roll up our gear and go out with our tails between our legs. When you talk about an officer you are talking about a highly motivated per­ son. The motivation level is up follow­ ing last week. Hie GMC (General Military Course) have never par­ ticipated as much as they are now," stated Eric Holstrom, winter quarter corp. commander. The initial shock of the closure seems to have worn off, and students such as Troy Holland and Jeff Patterson are cur­ rently busy participating in corp. ac­ tivities, studying, and trying to choose another school. For Holland, this is difficult. "I came here because I wanted to be a part of the Air Force and attend Central." He would like to transfer to another snail school, but has found that most of the small schools with flight technology were closed. Holland still plans to re­ main in the Air Force, and is looking in­ to three schools. If he plans to stick with his goal of becoming a pilot, he will have to look outside Washington for a program with flight technology. "The hardest part for me was know­ ing the program might be closed. I was disillusioned when the program was cancelled, but still have to keep going," said Holland. However, he is not in this alone. "All the cadre are willing to bend over backwards to help," said Holland. " I am just looking for a home now—where do I go?" Patterson said, "This is a great pro­ gram. On top of everything, everyone really makes you feel a part of the team. It is a shame it has to go." He described the corp. as "still strong with a fighting spirit, not going down easily, but fighting to the end." He feels that Colonel Thompson's support has been outstanding, also that the cadre has gone out of its way to help keep moral high. Thompson said, "While we are abiding by orders to deactivate, on the other hand we are doing everything possible to maintain the best officer training. We are trying to improve, not go into a sliding mode but still charging up the mountain, and will continue to do so until we close the doors." Captain Jack Nettis, Commandant of Cadets, said of the 100 Percent Effort Week, "I applaud them [the cadets] for their initiative and insight." Lessons given by students By BARBARA SHAFFER Staff Writer Swimming lessons have become a part of almost every child's life in today's society. Central Washington University's Water Safety Instruction is a well established and very successful program that teaches children this im­ portant task. The purpose of Central's WSI pro­ gram is twofold. Not only does it teach first graders from Mt. Stuart Elemtary how to swim, but also it certifies Cen­ tral students to be lifeguards and give swimming lessons. Dorothy Purser, director of the WSI program, said the program is comprised of students from various majors. For the children, Purser said the primary function of the program is to teach them the basics of water safety. The instructors try to teach three basic strokes: the front and back crawl, as well as the backstroke. Although the children are young, ages six and seven, they all seem to enjoy the water. Swimming instructor Mark Switzal said, "At first the kids did not seem to learn very fast and I got frusterated, but now I can see improve­ ment." Of course, teaching the kids to swim is not the first thing on the list for in­ structors. Purser said water adjustment comes before learning to swim. Then comes blowing bubbles and putting ^feir faces in the water. "This is very llaid for a child to do," sand Purser. The final goal, according to Purser, is to teach the child to swim across the pool.
Page 4 — The Observer Thursday, February 25, 1988 Paulos, Sedgwick speak out Board By NICK BEAUMONT Staff Writer Of the nearly 7,500 students who at-, tend CWU, the Associated Students of CWU found that only about 1,300 voted in last week's primary elections—this despite posters all over the campus, and pleas in the Observer to get out and vote. The winners of the primary election for vice president were TJ Sedgwick and Mike Paulos. At last Friday's Board of Trustees meeting, a number of topics were discussed, many of which are a direct concern to the students at Central, and thus a concern of those running for posi­ tions on ASCWU's Board of Directors. The issues set for discussion were: (1) the commercial business policy (2) a possible $ 10 fee for each class drQpped (3) restrictions on bicyclces (4) com­ puter fees—whether they are too high, whether the means of distribution of stickers in inefficient (5) the lack of communication between the financial aid office and Mitchell Hall (6) the possibility of full payment of tuition at pre-registration and (7) the banning of skateboards on campus. About these seven issues, the above two victorious primary candidates had opinions which were pretty much the same. The elections for officers for the upcoming academic year is March 3. Vice presidential candidates TJ Sedgwick and Michael Paulos have the following views on the above issues. On number 1, the commercial business policy: Sedgewick: "It turned out pretty well for us. The Tent-n-Tube will not be open to members of the community. What I'd like to see done is keeping Tent-n-Tube as it is now. The Tent-n-Tube will stay open, but we'll have to work hard to in­ sure it remains so. The Tent-n-Tube is competing with a store in Thorp, and that this is the competion about which the local community is less than happy. The local community should not have to drive to Thorp to rent a raft or other recreational equipment. Paulos: ' 'I think the University has a right to provide those items-services that students need. The bookstore should be able to sell pencils and pens—how do you expect students to go downtown for that type of stuff?" On the $10 fee for dropping classes: Sedgewick: "The proposal is in the Faculty Senate right now. It is not a fair policy for the students, and should be for those dropping more than three classes." Paulos: "I find no reason to have a $10 JUST IN SPRING FOILS, SUNGLITZ TIPPING 925-2320 564 EAST 8TH • EUENSBUKG, WA 9992% throuqh March 19th hj Get BACK Into The Swing Of Things!

The fee is just meant to deter students from dropping classes, but there are otherways to deter students from doing that. The other way is a Course Description Guide Book. If there was a Course Description Guide, that would reduce the number of add- drops significantly. I would vote 'no' on the proposal at the Faculty Senate meeting." The candidates' comments on possi­ ble bicycle restrictions are these: Sedgwick: "What they did do is a lot less than what they could do. What is poten­ tially worse is that they are going to ban skateboards from campus. If they are going to put restrictions on it, it needs to be on the negligent use of skateboards." Paulos: "Bike restrictions—right now I don't see any alternative to restricting use during peak hours, from ten-till to five after the hour, between 9 a.m. and 2 p.m." About Computer fees: Sedgwick: "If that's a requirement for a class, I don't feel there should be a com­ puter use fee it is a part of tuition. I don't think it's a fair policy." Paulos: "I think the $12 fee is alright—I don't see any problem with it. There might, however, be a problem with distribution for example, it would be helpful if the computer-use sticker could be passed out at registration or when you paid tuition." continued from page 1 prise is a dirty word around here/' The question then arose asking if Erickson was precluded from participa­ tion in Ware Fair. Erickson answered, "It's not the type of enterprise we're participating in." President Garrity and S. Sterling Munro of the Board of Trustees both commended the students on their ef­ forts to show up and support that in which they believed. An interesting note is that in the mid­ dle of this meeting, Jeanine Godfrey, a candidate for student body president, interrupted the proceedings to ask if the meeting could be moved to a larger room to accomodate the "ten feet" of students who were standingin the hall. In reality, there were only ten to fifteen students in the hallway, and these students were allowed to sit in the center of the room. The interruption delayed the meeting approximately ten minutes. There were at the very least, 40 students packed into the four-hour meeting on Friday. Another action on the agenda con­ cerned the tuition and fees for summer session and regular session. To begin with, the tuition and fees for summer session will show no increase. However, as for the fees and tuition for the regular session, a 3.6 percent in­ crease was approved for the 1988-89 school year. Beginning next fall, quarterly tuition will be as follows: •Resident Undergraduate... $439 •Non-resident students.... $ 1,528 •Resident Graduate........ $621 •Non-resident Graduate.... $ 1,851 Growing up in a family where drugs and alcohol were used, a family member was mentally ill, physically disabled or absent can leave painful wounds.

Thursday, February 25, 1988 The Observer — Page 5 ASCWU Your 1987-1988 Board of Directors: Mike Little ASCWU President Scott Lemert Mike Kaiser ASCWU Executive Vice President Vice President Budget and Finance Steve Feller Carolyn Carver Caryn Hanan Peter Laney Representative to Student Living Representative to Clubs and Representative to Facilities Planning Representative to Faculty Senate Organization This is the official newsletter of the 1987-1988 ASCWU Board of Directors Thanks to the support shown at the Board of Trustees meeting last Friday, in both actual presence of students and the over 1000 signatures on the petition, we gained much respect and made our "student voice" heard in our concern for the continuation of Ware Fair and the Tent-n-Tube. For some background, the CWU Commerce Activities Review Committee made recommendations regarding University Commerce activities to the Executive Committee (President Garrity, Vice Presidents Harrington and Jones and Dean Guy), who in turn presented their decisions to the Board of Trustees. The Executives, in agreement with the Commerce Activities Committee, recommend that the Ware Fair remain as is with two minor changes: 1) a town's person will sit in on the jury process and 2) a list of Ware Fair vendors will be given to the Ellensburg Small Business Committee. The Executives have also made a decision to restrict the Tent-n-Tube to servicing only university community members and their guests (ie. friends and family). This motion overturned the Commerce Activities Committee recommendation to continue rentals to the Ellensburg Community. This will mean a loss of approximately $5,000 annually for the Tent-n-Tubey which will consequently have to be taken from the Services and Activities Fund » (made up of approximately $42 from every full-time student's tuition.) The Board of Trustees did not necessarily back these decisions with a formal motion. Rather, they said that the business competition policy process is sound, but may result in unfavorable judgements. The final say now lies with the Executives, who will review the decision at Monday's meeting. Because this meeting is not open to the public what you can do as a student to encourage them to reconsider the decision to restrict the Tent-n-Tube is to write letters to the Board of Directors. Just a few lines expressing support of the Tent-n- Tube to remain "as is" will be important to our case. We will need the letters in SUB 106 by tomorrow, Friday the 26th. We thank you for all of your support on these issues. It was a great feeling to see the disappearance of the "apathy" that students have been accused of having. Both the Executives and the Board of Trustees members approached us after the meeting, expressing their surprise and excitement at student participation, chalk one or two up for us!! Please remember to take the time today or tomorrow to drop us a short letter in support of the Tent-n-Tube continuing rentals to the community.

Page 6 — The Observer Thursday, February 25, 1988 Lip Sync awards prize to "Bad" act By GEORGE EDGAR Staff Writer The recent "Lip Sync '88" here at Central last Friday has proven one thing. When .a group is good, they're good when they're "BAD," it has to be the gang from Orchesis. Now, before someone screams slander, let's be real. Anyone who went to McConnell Auditorium last Friday night will have to say that Alex Harvey and her back-up dancers from the Or­ chesis dance class were one of the best acts that night. But the word is that they should not have won. So how did they win? Were the judges fans of Michael Jackson? Or did Harvey really put forth a great effort to win by memorizing every dance step from the video? No one will ever know, but the au­ dience for Lip Sync '88 was pumped up as usual. Some say they got their money's worth. Some say it was not up to par. But the Lip Sync goes on, though Orchesis is turning it into a show for se­ cond place. Aside from the obvious, Lip Sync '88 showcased a wide range of music—albeit, some of it was of ques­ tionable taste. The 800-plus fans at Mc­ Connell Auditorium were treated to rpck, reggae, rhythm-and-blues, religious, raisins, and riots. The rock was your basic run-of-the- mill stuff to keep the crowd awake. There was a double dose of Bryan Adams, and a Great White solo. Nothing special, just filler. The reggae was Bob Marley's "Buf­ falo Soldiers." If it had not have been for some great backup singers and a wild rasta wig worn by their leader, the highlight of their act might have been the bongo player. The rythym-and-blues came in the form of Otis Day and the Nights' "Shamma Lamma Ding Dong." They captured the touch of the sixties with their act, making one reminisce and think, "How come they don't come up with groups like this more often?" The religion came to us in the form of Benny Hester, courtesy of the Central Christian Fellowship and the Guy Upstairs'. The air-band, led by Jeff Jagosh, brought more than a perfor­ mance to the stage, they delivered a message from the Bible. Ah, but here we examine the best of the best. The raisins. The California Raisins—probably the most original act in the Lip Sync. Dress­ ed in stuffed garbage bags and body- painted with shoe polish, they wowed the crowd with the anthem of the shriveled grapes from California, "I Heard It Through The Grapevine." Motown should be proud, as should the Napa Valley. The riot was the Village People, led by Matt Braden. The marine, the In­ dian, the hardhat, the cop, and the cyclist made up a group you either lov­ ed or hated. The audience loved them. The judges apparently hated them—and for good reason. Had it not been for offensive pelvic thrusts and other undulating sexual gyrations, they could easily have been the winners. But it seems the judges never liked the 70's, let alone such outrageous crowd- pleasers. And here again the question arises: what were the judges' criteria for deciding the Lip Sync winners? Oh, wfell. So the 1988 version of the Central Washington Lip Sync is over and done with. One could only-think of other acts which could've been done this year. Where was Belinda Carlisle? Weird A1 Yankovic? Buster Pointdex- ter? Spuds MacKerme? And what of next year? Another Orchesis affiliation with the Jackson family—most likely Jesse. JACKSON — Last year's lip sync featured Janet, this year MichaeVs single took top honors. Alex Harvey was "Bad" last week, but good enough to bring home the gold. Part three in relationship series Counselors offer help to victims of violence By LYSSA J. LOFTIS Staff Writer "Sometimes a young woman comes in and says,'my boyfriend keeps beating me up—what am I doing wrong?' " said Jackie Wittman of the Student Health Center, explaining how denial and guilt play a role in the lives of some of her clients. In therapy, Wittman aims for the teaching of awareness and acknowledgement of the abuse the client is experiencing. "Through the course of therapy, I delve into childhood issues, adult issues, patterns of behavior. I try to get them to identify abusive behaviors and to choose to say, 'No, this is not good for me,' " said Wittman. Wittman said that it may seem ob­ vious to a so-called normal person that certain behaviors are 'not good for us,' but for a woman involved in domestic violence, the issue is more complex. As Shirley Fisher, a counselor with Family Services explains, "Frequently, there has been a great deal of isolation and brainwashing, so the person is de­ sensitized. In treatment, we look at what are the abuses so that we have awareness. Each treatment session is in­ volved with what is happening current­ ly, and also looking at past issues creating difficulties for us presently*" Both counselors conduct group sup­ port sessions for women. Wittman of­ fers a group for the survivors of incest. With each client, she outlines at the beginning the four stages of recovery that a client can expect to undergo. The first stage is one of acknowledg­ ing dysfunctional life patterns, called the Information Stage. Next comes the Flooding or Crisis Stage, when memories come back. Often, the act of incest has been mentally blocked out of the victim's conscious thoughts. Nightmares and severe anxiety often accompany this second stage. longer feel driven by the "secret" of in­ cest. Wittman said the stages are by no means seen in any particular order, and treatment for incest typically can run from two to four years. Wittman also directs STEPS (Students and Staff for the Education and Preven­ tion of Sexual Assault). STEPS is a volunteer organization in which trained advocates offer help to victims of sexual violence. Fisher is Director of DVSA (Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault Advocates) in the Ellensburg community. DVSA advocates offer aid and PHONE NUMBERS FOR SERVICES: Community Psychological Services 963-2501 Crisis Line 925-4128 Family Services 962-9861 Student Health Center 963-1391 Dean of Students 963-1515 Alcohol and Drug Dependency Ser- J vices (ADDS) J 925-9821 j "! 1 I I I I I I Wittman said, "I tell them that this is their mind, telling them that it is okay to talk about the incest." The third stage is the Action Stage the client is able to become objective about his or her patterns of relating. The fourth stage is the Power Stage. The client is then able to make choices, to no counseling to women and men involved in domestic violence situations. Fisher stressed that an advocate is there to offer guidance and immediate help, but is not there to "rescue" a vic­ tim. A woman in a crisis situation needs help sorting her options, but she is not likely to take charge of her own life if someone else will do it for her. So, an advocate is best serving her client if she encourages the woman to take control of her own future. Advocates are on call twenty-four hours a day, and can be reached through Crisis Line. Crisis Line is a vital link to many resources within the Ellensburg and college communities. It has access to mental health workers and counselors for people in any type of emotional distress they can also offer referrals for Alcohol and Drug problems. Addiction of any kind requires specialized treatment. Kittitas County Alcohol and Drug Dependency Ser­ vices, located in the health department building, is the clearing house for addic­ tion information and services. Director Richard Hopkins has a staff of five to handle court- ordered treat­ ment cases and self-referred cases. His office provides evaluations, out-patient treatment, and referral to in-patient treatment. They also have counseling services for the families of alcoholics and drug addicts. Still, the primary source of continued recovery for most alcoholics is through Alcoholics Anonymous. AA is an organization of men and women "who Please see Counselor page 7

The only requirement for membership is a desire to stop drinking," according to the AA Big Book. AA was founded in 1935 by two men who discovered that by sharing their common experience with addiction they were able to stay sober. AA has over a million members worldwide, and is more successful in helping alcoholics than any other form of treat­ ment. AA was the first of the so-called "twelve-step" programs. The twelve steps are never really completed, just constantly worked on by the recovering alcoholic. They are specific guidelines, commonly referred to as "suggestions," that the alcoholic learns to apply to his life, one day at a time. A recovering alcoholic commonly makes the state- The Observer — Page 7 ment that "today is the only day I can guarantee I won't drink." The twelve-step program is the basis of other self-help programs as well: Overeaters Anonymous, Gamblers Anonymous, Emotions Anonymous, Narcotics Anonymous, and more recently, a group for "relationship ad­ dicts". As a member of one of the anonymous groups puts it, "The twelve steps can be misinterpreted at first, or people can get the idea it's some kind of religious cult or something. What the steps provide is a way to live your life without being haunted by the past and without fear of the future, by working each step on a daily basis and applying them, one day at a time, to your drink­ ing and every unmanageable aspect of your life." Anyone wanting more information on Twelves Step Recovery can contact Alcohol and Drug Dependency Ser­ vices.

Page 8 — The Observer Thursday, February 25, 1988 Team brings home lost adventurers By NICK BEAUMONT Staff Writer The Kittitas County Mountain Rescue team finds and brings home climbers and hunters who are lost in wilderness areas. The inspiration for KCMR came in 1955 when an army paratrooper drop­ ped out of an airplane into the wilderness about thirty miles north of Cle Elum, and was missing for a few days, according to The Daily Record. Members of KCMR come from coun­ ty communities, including CWU, and "The majority of accidents I've seen have been relatively minor, such as sprains, cuts, and frostbite." — Mike Eberle gather for missions under the dkectkh of the County Sheriff's Department. Fred Stanley, a systems analyst com­ puter programmer at CWU, his been a part of KCMR for years, arid senior Mike Eberle recently joined.

KCMR began as an informal rescue group to help the County Sheriff's Department bring the lost or injured to safety or to the hospital from "inaccessi­ ble" areas. The group became institu­ tionalized wlien* state officials felt it would be good to have the Sheriff's Department of each county coordinate the searches for missing peole within their counties. The approximately 24 members of KCMR range in age and experience from the young and relatively inex­ perienced Eberle to 59-year-old Gene Prater, who was a part of the group's beginnings in 1955. Stanley says KCMR's activities of "assisting injured parties in moun­ tainous terrain, or recovering bodies," are normally "confined to the kind of terrain that requires climbing skill." "The majority of accidents I've seen haVe been relatively minor, such as sprains, cuts, and frostbite," said Eberle. KCMR is coordinated by Sargeant George Williams, who says the county provides no economic or financial sup­ port for the group, which he describes "The more I become involved in rock and ice climbing, the more I see a need for a quality rescue organization like KCMR." , — Mike Eberle as "pretty much a volunteer organiza­ tion," For their expenses, Williams says those of the group who go out on rescue operations can make a claim for reim­ bursement from the state Department of Emergency Management.

If you are like many Americans, you can't wake up and face the day until you've had that first cup of coffee. This wake-up effect is caused by the stimulant caffeine. Here are some facts you may want to know about this drug. Caffeine increases respiration and heart rate, blood pressure and the secretion of stress hormones. It also has a direct stimulating effect on parts of the brain responsible for thought processes and muscle coordination.-The wake-up effect reaches its peak within one hour of consumption. Although caffeine is not addicting, it is habit-forming and the body adapts to its use. Sudden abstinence after long-term moderate use can cause headaches. Consequently, if you would like to reduce your caffeine intake, do so gradually to avoid these headaches. sfiKia& -f 88^#(7 ±. ?n--bU. S.A. RECRUIT U.S.A., INC. (800) 325-9759 CITICORP PLAZA, 725 S.

Page 10 — The Observer Thursday, February 25, 1988 Central hoopsters avenge only home loss By GEORGE Staff Writer EDGAR The Central men's basketball team took out its broom and dustpan last weekend, treating their Alaskan hosts rudely in sweeping a pair of District I games from their northern foes. The Wildcats blasted Sheldon Jackson 107-73 in Sitka on Saturday, then knocked off Alaska Southeast in Juneau the following day 92-79. The two wins upped Central's record to 13-4 in NAIA District I play and 20-9 overall, to solidify its hold on second place. Western Washington is the leader £t 13-2 and 22-5, and will have the home-court advantage throughout the playoffs. The final two playoff spots will most likely be taken by Lewis Clark State and Simon Fraser. There could also be a fifth spot open for Pacific Lutheran, providing it can match the record of the fourth-place team in District I. As of right now, Central's first playoff opponent could be Lewis Clark State up at Nicholson Pavilion. Central has beaten the Warriors twice already this season, but it's a question of whether the game will be played on either March 1, or 3. The Wildcats have swept the War­ riors in their season series of two games, with LCSC having lost the last 15 it has played in the Pavilion. The Warriors are led by Stevie Snow, who is averaging 30 points over his last five games. Central will close its season this Thursday night at St. Martin's in Lacey at 7:30 pm. Last Saturday, Carl Aaron became the third player in Central history to score 30 points in back-to-back games. Against Puget Sound, he canned 36 points in a 79-71 win over the Loggers. He practically did the same thing against Sheldon Jackson, hitting an even 30 in the 'Cats rout. The last Wildcats to score 30 back-to- back w ere Mel Cox, who did it twice back in 1965 and 1967, and Richard Hanson during the 1972 campaign. Steve Evenson contributed 14 points and 11 rebounds in the win Art Haskins and Tim Brown chipped in with 11 points apiece. Dave Padgett led SJU with 19 points and 12 boards. It was Central's record-setting seventh 100-point game this year. The 'Cats had a much tougher game against Alaska Southeast on Sunday. Head coach Dean Nicholson cited jet lag as one of the problems. "It bothered us both days," said Nicholson. "Just tiring, we got down to Juneau late and got bounced around up there. But our team showed a lot of composure and put two good games together." In the opening minutes, the Whales hit three from three-point range to take a li-3 lead, then traded shots with the Wildcats the rest of the half, being tied at 36-36 at one point. Then Art Haskins put Central in the lead for good with a bucket that broke the tie then Aaron ignited an 8-0 run enroute to a 48-41 lead at halftime. With nine minutes remaining in the game, Alaska reeled off nine straight points to pull within one of Central at 67-66. Aaron ignited the 'Cats with six points in a 12-2 spurt to put the game away. Aaron fell short in hitting 30 in three straight games, getting 29 against the Whales, along with 13 rebounds. Haskins was the only other Wildcat in double figures, scoring 20 points. The Whales, now 9-8 in District I and 17-19 overall, were eliminated Spencer hired by pro club TAPING — Tom Spencer demonstrates how to add support to an injured ankle on Mike Smith, a red-shirt basketball player for Central. By Neal Sturgeon Contributing writer Tom Spencer will be up to his ears in bandages next March. No, he doesn't expect to get injured. He's been hired as a trainer for the Milwaukee Brewers this season. Spencer, who has been fixing bat­ tered athletes at CWU for the last four years, will begin his seven-month stint with the Brewers, a professional team based out of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, on March 5, after winter quarter finals. From Mariner's bat boy, to one of Central's top trainers under Gary Smith, Tom has been heavily involved with baseball teams ever since he can remember, and looks forward to his opportunity in the major league circuit. "It's like a dream come true. I've Please see Spencer page 11 from playoff contention with the loss. Damon Lowery scored 26 points in a losing effort for Alaska SE. Though they have won 20 games this season, it appears that Central has had a sub-par year by Wildcat standards. But Nicholson points out there were certain factors that figured into the season. "This team played a very tough schedule. We went to Montana, Oregon Tech, Eastern Washington and Puget Sound twice. Our schedule was very tough. We've played close to our capabilities, and it's going to give a good account of itself in the playoffs." Swimmers win district meet By MATT BRADEN Staff Writer Over the last seven years, the CWU men's and women's swim teams have looked a lot like the NBA's L.A. Lakers in league competition—Unbeatable. Last weekend they proved themselves once again, completely dominating the NAIA istrict I and II championships held at Evergreen State College in Olympia. With their victory this year, the men have won the meet seven-straight years and the women have five- consecutive titles, "This was probably one of the top three district meets I've ever witnessed in my twenty-two years as coach," head coach Bob Gregson said. When will this utter dominatiqii end? Who knows. But Central is en­ joying its superiority, while its op­ ponents just sit and watch, Wondering if it will ever end. However, with win­ ning comes rivalry. And head coach Bob Gregson is feeling a bit of tur­ bulence beginning to stir around the league. "We are starting to pay the price for all our winning we are now being looked upon as the villian at meets," Gregson said. "I don't like the feeling, but what can you do?" What they can do is continue to "This was probably one of the top three district meets I've ever witnessed in my 22 years as coach/' Bob Gregson humble their opponents in the pool and on the scoreboard. The district meet exemplified just that. The lady 'Cats amassed 767 points, with Pacific Lutheran and Puget Sound the next closest with 508 and 502.5 points, respectively. The men swamped the competition as Well. Central totaled 717 points, leaving UPS (566), PLU (404), and Lewis and Clark College (399) bewildered. Besides these four, Central also had five other district champions. Jeff Hillis and Cyndi Hudon had dual wins, while Aric Moss, Laura Hill, and Deb­ bie Gray swam to single individual vic­ tories. Hudon won both sprint freestyles, the 50 in 25.04, and the 100 in 54.80, while taking second place in the 200 (2:00.18). Hillis matched her finishes by winn­ ing the 100 (1:00.25) and 200 (2:12.09) breaststroke events, while being edged out for first place by. 16 seconds in the 200 individual medley (2:00.36). Laura Hill and Debbie Gray showed no greed. Hill won the 100 breaststroke (1:09.75) with Gray in se­ cond place (1:10.02). The placement for the 200 breaststroke was the exact opposite. Gray swam it in 2:31.44, and Hill in 2:32.84. Although it appeared the 'Cats were §d swimming in their own pool, Gregson Said, "The league is much tougher this year because of talented teams like PLU and UPS. The quality of the meet was much higher than in past years." Quality and talent aside, Central statistically ruled the meet. The C~ women won 10 out of 13 individual events, and three of five relays. They also had 26 individual swims placing in the top eight. The men swam equally well, winning nine of 13 individual events and all three relays. Also, 28 in­ dividual efforts finished in the top fgi eight. Four Central stars were commended for their performances. Tom Harn, Tom Drury, Sharon Wilson (all defen­ ding national champions), and Chris Hayden won all three of their solo races, making them the meet's only nominees for the Most Outstanding Swimmer Award. Hiarn and Wilson walked away with the honors. Harn has been a leading force during his four years as a Wildcat. In three na­ tional meets, he has received Ail- American honors (awarded to the top £ six finishers) 18 times (the maximum number possible). The district meet f saw him race to victory in three freestyle events. He finished the 50-yard in 21.84, the 100 at 46.80, and the 200 in 1:42.32. Coach Gregson, quite obviously, has 0 been impressed by Harn's career as a 'Cat. With his times as fast as they are, "He's coming close to qualifying for the Olympic Trials," he said. Drury was the other male scoring a "hat trick," but in the meet's three longest events, the 400 individual 41 medley (4:16.85), the 500 free (4:45.42), and 1650-yard free (16:37.29). The top women's swimmer, Sharon Wilson, made waves in the 400 in­ dividual medley (4:35.93), the 100 back (1:00.55), and swam an amazing # 2:09.96 in the 200 back. That time sur­ passed the national record, but will not be engraved in the record books because it was not set at the national meet. "The only other Central swimmer who I can recall breaking a national record in season was John Sayre, pro­ bably the best all-around swimmer in Central's history," Gregson said. The alternate for the Outstanding Swimmer Award, Chris Hayden, swam the meet's longest freestyle events to victory. She finished the 200 0 in 1:58.93, the 500 in 5:16.09, and the grueling 1650. in 18:11.85. Moss successfully completed the 100 back in 55.71 and his time of 2:06.08 in the 200 back resulted in third place, behind teammate Buzz Vickery who swam the event in 2:05.17. ^ Overall, the women are sending 36 swimmers to the NAIA Swimming and Please see Swimmers page 11 *
Thursday, February 25, 1988 Swimmers Continued from page 10 Diving Championships next week in Orlando, Florida the men are sending twenty-five. Gregson expects to find schools with more depth than Central, which could jeopardize the men's chances of winning the title a third straight year. * However, we won't know until next week if the reign will continue. Spencer continued from page 10 always wanted to play baseball on the pro level, but I didn't have the skill level to become a pro. I realized that in high school, so I got into the training room as a trainer, and found that I real­ ly liked that side of it. ' 'I've been sending my resume out to pro clubs for four years," Spencer con­ fessed. He was interviewed by the Toronto Blue Jays, but Canada was a bit too far away for the junior from Mercer Island. Tom will be back in the fall to work toward his special education degree, with an estimated graduation date of winter 1990. Spencer hopes to be cer­ tified for both teaching and training (by the National Athletic Trainers Associa­ tion (NATA)) by then. He hopes to become certified by the NATA by next year. This requires 1800 hands-on hours in the training room and three tests. Spencer has 2500 hours in the last three-and-a-half years at CWU. Next, he has two written tests, and a hands-on test left, to complete his NATA certification. GLOBAL TRAVEL TAKE A CRUISE TO MEXICO OVER SPRING BREAK!

Prion Mtoect to C1967. Zemh Daw System Spencer has heard nothing but good things about the Brewer's manage­ ment and players. Last year they were only ten games short of the playoffs, with a win-loss record of 91-71. With that kind of experience, and still two years before he graduates, Tom should have no trouble finding a suitable job when he does graduate—and pro baseball is where he plans to be. "That is what I have been working towards, and that is what I plan to do," said the en­ thusiastic and confident 22-year-old. Head trainer Gary Smith agrees: "He does most of the training work for our baseball team (along with Dave Beymer), and he does a good job. It's a great opportunity and honor for him to work with a pro club. That is what he The Observer — Page 11 is interested in, and that is what he will most likely do when he is certified and graduated." for nationals By GUILLERMO CABALLERO Sports Editor This wrestling season has been an up and down season for coach Greg Ford it seemed nary a week passed without the team suffering yet smother casual­ ty.

€\ Page 12 — The Observer Matmen continued from page 11 culminating in a trip to Pacific Lutheran University for the NAIA Na­ tional Wrestling Tournament. Ford declined to predict how his team will fare or how individual wrestlers will do. Ever the optimist, he said he'd like to see everyone do well. "You never know what's going to happen at the national tournament. I've seen a lot of dark horses do really well. A few years ago, Robin MacAlpine didn't win a tournament all year up until districts " MacAlpine was a national champion for CWU a few years ago. Realistically, the 'Cats that are Cen­ tral's best bets to place at nationals are seniors Chris Riley at 118 lbs., and heavyweight Bill Walker. Both have had exceptional seasons for the Wildcats. Having consistently been the highest finishers at most of the tour­ naments in which Central has par­ ticipated. Also, freshman Sandy Stevenson, though young, has demonstrated that he has what it takes to compete against the veterans. Ford, however, has much to smile about going into the tourney this weekend. All but one wrestler qualified for nationals at the district tourney held last week at PLU. Central benefited from the new format that the district implemented it allows a wrestler to qualify even if he has a poor showing, provided that the wrestlers that finish in front of him have already qualified for nationals. Since Central's competition at the district meet had already qualified many of its wrestlers, Central was able to advance a large number of its own wrestlers.
