We wanted to help them out Central's Public Relation Stu- somehow, so we organized a dent Society of America Club fundraiser for them," explains could not have picked a better day than last Friday to have a car wash, nor a better cause. All of the proceeds from the fun­ draiser are going to those CWU students whose home recently burnt down. Vicki Asmussen, president of PRSSA, and Ramona Fletcher proposed the idea to the club Vicki. The fundraiser consisted of a car wash, raffle and hot dog and pepsi sale. Members of PRSSA and five of the six roommates staffed the event Friday, from 12:00 to 6:00 at Happy's Market. Mike Bush, one of the room­ mates, says', "I was surprised to see everyone help out". shortly after the fire occurred. They raised approximately "Ramona'and I had one of the $420 and sold nearly 150 raffle At — tickets. Students and members of the community also donated items such as, a couch, desk lamp, clothing, food and household supplies. According to Vicki, "It was a great success because so many people came together to help". Most people realized what the donations were for, "that's why we had so much coopera­ tion—everyone was more than willing to help" she said. Both Vicki and Ramona work­ ed very closely with Rich Searle, manager of Happy's Market. He donated the use of Happy's parking lot and helped organize the event. "He contacted distributors and asked them to donate prizes for the raffle," said Vicki. Rich also contacted neighbors, Steve and Wendy Ritereiser, who donated hoses. Rich was more than happy to help sponsor the fundraiser. He explained, "They went through a tragic thing, they are part of our community even though they are only here for four years. We are all in this world together so we really wanted to help them out." The three of them gathered fif­ ty prizes from merchants and distributers for the raffle. Prizes included, cases of pop, gift cer­ tificates, neon signs, and mir­ rors. The Grand prize was the use of the students' portable hot tub for 24 hours. Dwight Bishop, one of the roommates, was a 'big hit' as the Hamms Bear. The costume was donated by one of the distributors. According to Rich, "He was very good at it, for awhile he stood as a statue inside the store, this frightened a few of our customers—including my wife!". Rich felt the fundraiser was a great success, however, he Mid' 'it would have been better if it had more media coverage and advertising—some people didn't know what the fundraiser was actually for." Mike was very thankful for everything the club and Happy's had done. "We expected more help from the school and not much from the community, but it was the opposite—the com­ munity came through with fly­ ing colors," he claimed. The money from the event will mainly go to the two students who didn't have any in­ surance. This was a mutual decision by all of the room­ mates. The students have also received help from other organizations besides Happy's Market and PRSSA. According to Mike, "The Red Cross helped some of the guys by paying their first months rent. Central gave us a financial extension and Jer- rol's paid for our books, in return for some help with con­ struction." HEC Board discusses issue of raising tuition By DINECE A. ANGELO Staff Writer On April 12 and 13, the Washington State Higher Educa­ tional Coordinating Board discussed issues that affect all colleges in Washington. This board meeting was held at the Seattle Hilton. The meeting was open for public comment and discussion on the issues of admission, financial aid, tuition and fees. People were able to voice their opinions and views in the open forum. There was a student rally voic­ ing definite concerns of raising tuition. Mary James of Ellensburg is the Executive Secretary for the Higher Educational Coor­ dinating Board. The nine- member citizen board discusses on a regular basis the Master Plan of higher education in Washington. One of the big issues for discussion was the new alter­ native admission policy for entering freshmen. "The new alternative admission standards were set so minority students would not be left out," said James. Students seeking admis­ sion for the alternative standards must have taken the ACT or SAT, have a GPA of 2.0, show course work and evidence of success outside the classroom with the motivation to succeed in college. The objective of the alter­ native standards is to improve the flexiblity access for students who want to benefit from a higher education. This would allow 15 percent of entering freshmen to use the alternative standards. The second issue of discussion was financial aid. The demand for financial aid is greater. More people want to go to college and this creates a greater demand for aid. The HEC board is develop­ ing a Student Financial Aid Policy. The State Need Grant and Work Study Plan are two issues in discussion. The State Need Grant is a gift assistance provided through state appropriations and federal matching funds. The State Work Study program serves 6,000 students every year. This is where businesses offer employ­ ment for students. The academic institutions benefit two ways: classroom theory on the worksite and by having state work study to provide funds to students. There is a staff in Olympia who observe on a daily baks the distribution of financial aid. State Financial Aid gives a significant amount to the state directly to the institution for operating funds. The HEC board looks over the institutions' budget and passes law which goes to the legislator. The HEC board has a final decision to what law passes. The legislature in 1986 re­ quired that tuition and fees be established biennially to provide for adjustments in the beginning of the 1987-88 year. An issue has been discussed to raise tuition and then more funding will be available for financial aid. Peo­ ple who can't pay for their education will have more aid available to pay for tuition: Tuition increases when in­ stitutional costs rise and faculty and staff raises are given. The factor is 24 percent of any tuition hike has to go to the state finan­ cial aid. This is based on a pro­ portion of students who were enrolled and need funding. If this percent was raised to 35, this would create more people eligible for funding. The HEC board is working on informing people on how to save for college and information to the public on the cost of educa­ tion. The Master Plan is being created for the future of higher education. "What we are look­ ing at is who pays, who benefits and trying to look at if there is a more equitable way to distribute the cost of providing higher education," said James. The HEC Board is in the phase of developing a policy on finan­ cial aid and tuition. The HEC does the studies and develops the policies so they can present them to the legislator and become law. The next meeting will be at the end of June and final decisions will be made then.
Page 2 — The Observer Thursday, April 21,1988 Newspaper doesn't go over big By SUSAN MONAHAN Editor In past years, underground, newspapers hdve appeared on many college campuses across the nation, especially during the 60's and early 70's. They were created to make statements about issues not printed in the official college newspaper. Central Washington University was recently reintroduced to the sixties with the appearance of "Thee Observed," an underground newspaper put out by—your guess is probably better than mine—and for what purpose, I don 't have a clue. Every other underground newspaper I have seen had a statement to make. It was either problems with the administration, discrimination, or the desire to change something in the policy of the college such as registra­ tion rules and co-ed dorms. Yes, the authorfsf of the articles did come up with a few "cute" things to say. My favorite was the motorcycle lessons to be taught by Jeff Krueger (The guy who wrecked his motorcycle one morning fall quarterJ. Some of the professors found the articles about them to be fimny, but others didn't find the personal comments quite so humorous. Reluctantly, I must admit the idea was creative enough, however even that wasn't developed. They used the orginal Observer masthead the only changes were taking off the Y and reversing the 'b' to create a'd'. A child could have been just as original. The authorfsf involved didn't say anything. "Thee Observed" was just a slam of the professors and students mentioned in the articles. This paper would have served just as well to start a fire. ting names of the "accomplished" writers. If I had spent the time arid Money involved in such a project, I surely would have put my name on it Sb people would acknowledge my creation. Even the professors mentioned in the articles always sign their published works. It would seem that the authorfsf of "Thee Observed" could have extended the same courtesy to those mentioned. Someone even had the audacity to insert a few copies of last week's Observer with copies of "Thee Observed" to make it look like part of our publication. This was not appreciated by the Observer staff, as we would have put out a much better publication if we had created a parody of otrrselves In reality, I am very fortunate to have a staff of people who are open to constrictive critism and wanting to learn right from wrong. I, too, ant learning and open to suggestions. I think the biggest reason for my dis gust with "Thee Observed" is the fact that I was actused of having put it together. I have better things to do with my time. I am sure that if my instructors felt I had enough spare time for such endeavors, they would be expecting greater things from me in the classroom. Well, in reality I have no spare time between try three classes, the time I spend putting the newpaper together, trying to do research for my term paper, and keeping up on all my reading, I don't have time for a social Hfe let alone trying to put out an extra publication. Letters to the Editor To the Editor: My congratulations to the casts of both "Actor's Nightmare" and "Sister Mary Ignatius Explains It All For You." I went to see them Saturday and enjoyed the acting a great deal, particularly Kelly Allen as Sister Mary. I just want to make it clear that the version of Catholicism "Sister Mary" por­ trayed (cut-and-dried, point blank answers, don't ask questions or think) is not representative of the Church today, nor is she a typical modern-day nun. It is an interesting play. Go see it. But if you're curious about Catholicism, don't take a crash course from Sister Mary. Please come to Mass on Campus (Sunday nights at 7 in the SUB Yakima Room) and see the faith as it is now. Sincerely, Lenora DeCarlo To the Editor: It's that time of year again...the snow is gone and deposited on our campus is some "unnatural stuff" on the ground and in the Ganges. It's springtime now, and CWU students will be heading towards Vantage, People's Pond, and the valley's surrounding canyons leaving behind their TRASH! I've been a student here at CWU for three years now and every spring this campus and sur­ rounding areas seem to turn into big garbage sites. I wonder at times if there are others who are tired of looking at all the empty beer bottles, pop cans, candy wrappers, etc. lying about. I'm sure there are, and this is why this letter has been written.

Thursday, April 21,1988 The Observer — Page 3 CWU location attracts new students By TAMIL. SCHRANK Staff Writer _ "I believe location. is a deciding factor when students are choosing Central/' said Jim Maraviglia, Director of Admis­ sions, on the increased numbers of applications deceived so far for the 1988-89 school year. Many students are impressed with Central's location. This becomes apparent when 2,161 applications have been received so far this year, compared to 1,935 at the eiid of the admis­ sions period last year. The ma­ jority of the prospective students are freshmen applicants. Central is allowed a full time equivalent (FTE) of 5,877 students. The number, set by the state legislature, equals about 7,000 actual people. The FTE is determined by an equa­ tion involving the number of hours attempted by each stu­ dent. Due to the increased number of applications, Maraviglia in­ dicated the enrollment pattern is very strong. This means the ap­ plicants are of a higher quality, having a stronger academic background, which translates into a higher retention rate. The more students who remain after their first year, the fewer spots available for incoming freshmen. The increase in the quality of CWU's student body is il­ lustrated by the fact that the mean high school grade point average (GPA) of entering freshmen rose from 2.9 in 1980 to 3.11 in 1987. Along with this, the percentage of freshmen enrolling with a GPA of less than 2.5 has fallen from 18.5 percent in 1980 to 0.7 percent in 1987. If a student applies for admis­ sion to Central with less than a 2.5 GPA, the only way they are admitted is through the Educa­ tional Oppurtunities Program (EOP). The EOP only takes 30-40 of approximately 200 potential entrants into the pro­ gram. This is a clear sign of the advancement of excellence in CWU's students. The improved qualifications of accepted freshmen also ap­ plies to transfer students. Accor­ ding to "The Central Update, A Newsletter for Counselors," Central is committed to assign­ ing priority to the enrollment of qualified ...transfer students who have completed 75 credits, or more of transferable coursework with a cumulative GPA of 2.3 or higher. Central plans to enroll 1,150 transfer students for fall quarter, com­ pared to 970 spaces available for freshmen. Maraviglia believes there are a variety of reasons why people choose CWU. "Central has a lot of good things," he said. Maraviglia pointed out the superb programs in special education, music, accounting, and the graduate program in art offered at Central. The Residence living system is also a big plus. "More people are starting to realize about our quality faculty," stated Maraviglia. To 3um up the factors in choosing CWU, Maraviglia said, "The academic offerings* cost, and location are the main con­ tributing factors." The Director of Admissions stressed location as an asset of Central.

A logo is being sought which depicts a school best remembered by its graduates and successfully captures both the essence of our past and an af­ firmation of our future. "The artist who's work is selected and they may not be an artist in thetraditional sense of the word, but the individual who's logo is selected to be the logo for us will have a lot of recognition because their logo will be used and noted. The logo will be on all of our publications. It's going to be a very prestigous tiling to know that your logo will be on everything/' said Gail Jones, chairman of CWU Centennial Committee. There are some requirements to follow in designing the Centennial logo. The entry must be mounted on stiff, white, SVz x 11" board. The largest dimension of the design presentation is not to exceed six inches. The design will be reduced for envelope and letterhead size, and increas­ ed to banner size, so there needs to be clarity in reproduction. The design should be reproduci­ ble in one or more colors. Art work should be camera ready and the design should include: Central Washington University 1891-1991 and the theme com­ memoration through celebra­ tion. It is also suggested that the design incorporate a highly significant aspect of the school. "We!re going to be focusing on what we've done during the past one hundred years, what we've accomplished," said Jones. The whole theme of the centennial celebration will focus on the ac­ complishments of the past one hundred years. Entry information is as follows: The deadline for all en­ tries is May 20,1988. They are to be delivered to the Alumni Suite in Barge 310. Entries submitted in a self-addressed, stamped envelope will be returned by September 1,1988. Juried entries will be displayed in the Samuelson Union Building an d the library. The winning entry will be announced by June 10, 1988 and the entries will be juried by the panel composed of members of the faculty, students, alumni and Centennial Planning Committee. There will be an honorarium of one hundred dollars for the winning design. There will also be wide recognition to the artist whose work is chosen. Another advantage of having your design chosen for art majors or graphic design and advertising majors is that of an excellent credential for a resume. "This is a golden opportunity for us to glow in our glory without seeming gaudy because a centennial is a celebration," said Jones. Starting May 1991 through June 1992, there will be a variety of activities that have the centennial theme. There will be of course the Centennial logo that will appear on all official university sta­ tionery, programs and publica­ tions. There will be a historical exhibit, campus signing of ban­ ners and posters placed on cam­ pus and on Eighth Street. There will be departmental exhibits and historical review with specific academic contests. Each department will have a flag along with centennial flags. Both Barge Hall and the Samuelson Union Building will be decorated. There will also be memorabilia, multi-image historical portrait of the univer­ sity, and a slide presentation featuring a historical portrait of the university. There are other currently unscheduled events such as a centennial touring center, symposia, forums, collo- quia, guest centennial speakers and much more. There are many activities and plans involved. The Centennial Planning Committee has been working on the centennial plans for the past 14 months. "So many of the things require a lot erf planning, the activities have to be approved by a lot of people," said Jones. The (dans have been approv­ ed by President Donald Garrity and the Board of Trustees. Now the task is to formulate the Im­ plementation Committee. Hiis committee will select the in­ dividuals that make sure the plans are being executed. There are no exact dates set yet for the activities, but they are placed in­ to monthly sections. CWU's one hundreth anniver­ sary isn't until 1991, but the plans are already in motion. Perhaps you're a student who will have already graduated by then, but by designing an award-winning logo, you'll be able to take part in the much deserved celebra­ tion. newsletter, Ellensburg is a "university town"-the main pulse of the city beats with the happenings at the university. Its proximity to two major ur­ ban areas-Seattle is 100 miles to the west, and Spokane, 170 miles to the east-makes Central an appealing location for students from across the slate. Other facets of the area's ap­ peal are its beauty and its recrea­ tional oppurtunities. Among the offerings: the Kittitas Valley, the Yakima River, and the Cascade Range. It becomes obvious as the ad­ vantages of the university are reviewed why Central is such a popular choice among those looking to attend a four-year in­ stitution of higher learning. The exact date to cut-off the acceptance of applications has not been set, but should come within the next month. Accep­ tance, however, does not insure admittance. To be guaranteed a spot for fall quarter, students must confirm their admission with a prepayment. Priority will be given to those students who confirm their admission by May 1. Yearbook deadline nears By Dinece A. Angeio Staff Writer Within the next three weeks, students need to purchase their yearbooks. The yearbook advisor, Jane Rider spoke about the low balance between the budget and the number of books sold. "The life of this years' annual depends on the number of sales made within the next few weeks," said Rider. The yearbook budget can't af­ ford to purchase any extra books. The number of books sold will be the number of books distributed. The quality and con­ tent of the yearbook also depends on the sales because there will be more funding to spend on the production of the book. The production of this year­ book began in the fall of 1987. The yearbook staff came up with the theme "Crazy with the Heat". The theme is carried throughout the book with color- fid graphic designs and photos. Music, drama and dances on campus, are some of the special features. Faculty and staff photos were taken to show the individuality of each department. This was organized by Chris Stone, of the yearbook staff. A special supplement will be supplied to students who pur­ chase yearbooks. This insert will be available spring quarter for students to get autographs from friends before they leave school. Beginning April 18, seniors and grad students photos will be taken.
Page 4 — The Observer Thursday, April 21,1988 New plant proposed By NICK BEAUMONT Staff Writer Earlier this month, on April 5, there was a panel discussion at Hal Holmes Center. There were represen­ tatives from three groups concerned with regional and world-wide threats to humanity and other living organisms. The panel was made up of Jim Beard, the national coordinator of Greenpeace's Missile Material Cut-Off Campaign David Tauben, board member of the Washington Physicians of Social Responsibility and Janet M. Miller, assistant director of the Puget Sound branch of the SANE organiza­ tion/movement. The topic was the possible conversion of the Number One, now mothballed, nuclear reactor at the Hanford Nuclear Reservation. What is being proposed is the conver­ sion of a non-power- producing com­ mercial reactor to a production facility for the radioactive isotope tritium, used in nuclear warheads as part of the trig­ ger mechanism. Tritium, a rare radioac­ tive hydrogen isotope, is used as a trig­ ger element because it yields very high energy which gives a warhead's plutonium more destructive potential, said Beard. The proposal calls for the condemna­ tion of the reactor by the Department of Energy (DOE), changing it from its mothballed, potential commercial power-producing status, making it about as useful as an empty reservoir. After the reactor structure is condemn­ ed, the DOE will pay the Washington Public Power Supply System (WPPSS) as little as $30 million, make some structural changes and begin producing tritium. WPPSS has spent approximate­ y -y&t ly $3.5 billion public dollars on the non­ functional Hanford Reservation. The main points of the discussion were the impact the conversion would have relative to the economy, the arms race, the environment, the population, and the proliferation of nuclear weapons. About the economy, Greenpeace's Beard said the proponents of conver­ sion proclaim it will serve "to replace the jobs lost with the closing of the nuclear reactor." But SANE member Miller said, "The jobs argument isn't quite strong enough," because "we don't need what it's going to produce," referring to the isotope not being need­ ed if an arms reduction treaty is passed and there are fewer warheadswhich re­ quire triggers to maintain and be pro­ duced. The plutonium in a warhead stays "ready" for decades, while the fuses have a shorter lifespan and need replacing once or twice a decade due to tritium's physical properties. The isotope has a half-life of twelve-and-a- half years. This means that for the full realization of the device's potential, the fuses must be replaced every few years. Beard said conversion should not be the means with which the economy is rebuilt, explaining, "I do think it's up to the federal government and to the state to bring in (other sources of dollars to revive the area's economy). The federal government should be responsible and bring in some retraining money," he said. Another economically relevant item discussed, also relating to health issues, was the potential harmful effects tritium poses to crops, from wine grapes to Washington apples to PRESENTS THE YOUNG FRESH FELLOWS Saturday, April 30th at 9pm Tickets: $3 at the door In the SUB BALLROOM Listen to 91FM for more details. Jim Beard speaks on possible conversion of Number One nuclear reactor at Hanford. vegetables, Tritium is produced in only one other place in the nation at this time. At this site, DOE's Savannah River Plant, 150-200,000 curies of the isotope are released into the environ­ ment anually, according to Beard. When released, the isotope bonds with oxygen and has properties very similar to water. In this form, the isotope enters the ground, water sup­ plies, and crops once this occurs the isotope can find its way into the human body and can get into cells and right up near genetic DNA. This was the major health danger of tritium spoken of dur­ ing the discussion. The health impacts "have never been studied," says Tauban, explaining "every effort to pro­ duce a study has been thwarted." Around die Savannah River Plant, Beard said, the levels of environmental tritium are measured by testing the fruit that is grown in the proximity of the plant. Although they did not know the levels, or say that they did, there is presence of radioactive elements in the crops produced around the Savannah River Plant. He did say that japan has shown con­ cern with the threat of contamination by not purchasing some of the nation's agricultural and fruit crops, such as alfalfa and orchard fruits. The arms race, according to the three panelists, will see little benefit of tritium production at Hanford. They say that the recently signed INF Treaty, as well as the treaty to reduce the super-power's arsenals of intercon­ tinental ballistic missiles by half, if ratified by the Senate, will eliminate the need for tritium production for around fifty years.

Thursday, April 21,1988 Plant continued from page 4 amount produced at Savannah River, is enough, they say, to keep the fuses maintainable for fifty years. Another danger the panelists say could arise is that the plans for the plants conversion from a commercial power to a weapons facility, if they came into the hands of some second world country which has nuclear power capability, the country could easily convert the plant so it could pro­ duce nuclear fuses, making it all the more possible for that nation to develop a nuclear device. This is only a possibility, but presents a way the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty could be violated, another threat of the conversion proposal. Tauben dealt most with the arms race issue during the panel discussion, bring­ ing up many interesting bits of informa­ tion. "The risk of the arms race begins with the very production of the weapons themselves," he said, and "the way to stop the arms race is to stop production, and this requires a new way of thinking." Tauben said that "If we are serious about arms control, we need weapons production control." He said there is a growing worldwide consensus to stop plutonium produc­ tion, and that we do not need tritium production as "we need to move to the reduction of bur arsenals. There is no heed for tritium production if there is going to be serious arms control." He thinks "the issue is the larger issue of the arms race. I think the clear and eVer-present word is 'Stop the arms race!'," he said. He and others like him feel the $9,000 per minute spent on military operations could better be spent on some other, more humane and better purpose. * The panel discussion also question of safety of the converted reac­ tor, including the computer control system which for years has been inside nuclear plants, lmown to show system errors where there are really none, which could create the risk of nuclear hazard if human operators try to correct a non-existent situation. Another safety question is the uranium fuel used to produce tritium The Observer — Page 5 poses a much larger threat if a serious situation develops inside the reactor than if the plant was operating just to produce power. The highly enriched uranium for tritium production would, if things got out of hand, produce an ex­ plosion more or less equivalent to what happened at Three Mile island in 1981. One thing in the informational release put together about the conver­ sion proposal, and which was brought up during he discussion, was about how much and where from information was being made available to the public. The release explains the secrecy which surrounds the "DOE's methods for determining tritium need corrupts the democratic decision-making pro­ cess and has a detrimental effect on the Tri-Cities and the region." It says the DOE's recent decision to close the nuclear reactor comes from the depart­ ment's selt-interest in continued weapons production, and makes them willing to mislead the community for years, and then make sudden changes which threaten the community's future. The concerned groups feel the DOE is doing the same with the proposed con­ version, claiming new tritium produc­ tion is urgently needed, but it is not pro­ viding for or allowing the open public discussion of tritium need. Miller said, "We feel like what we're learning of WPPSS conversion is what the proponents want us to learn. What is the future for the Tri-Cities? What is the future for Hanford? What is the future for the state? What are the alter­ natives?" The discussion was.attended by about forty people, mostly adults, some from as far away as Roslyn and Cle Elum. CWU residence hail furthers awareness By TAMISCHRANK Staff Writer y--' Alford-Montgomery Residence Hall (Al-Monty) is hosting an awareness week May 2-5. The week is a series of programs designed to increase con- ciousness level and the desire to become more aware. Three professors and one instructor have donated their time to help our students be more in­ formed. The lectures, which are open to the public, will be held in the Al-Monty lob­ by at 7pm. Refreshments will be served at 6:45pm. "I want as many people as possible to attend because...at this level (college), we need to be aware of what's going on around us," stated Tom Gam- bill, manager of Al-Monty and coor­ dinator of Awareness Week. To start the week off, Professor of Psychology Roger Fouts will be speak­ ing on ' 'Chimpanzee Conversations and Implications for Human Responsibility". Fouts has a background in working* with chim­ panzees. For Tuesday's program, William Swain, an instructor in the English Department, will discuss the concept of cultural literacy as explored in E.D. Hirsch's book "Cultural Literacy." Swain said, "I will expand upon the concept of cultural literacy as defined in the book in an attempt to answer such questions as 'Why breadth re­ quirements?' " Apartheid is the topic of Dr. Paul LeRoy s lecture. LeRoy has traveled Africa extensively and will speak on the political tension facing South Africa in the wake of Apartheid government. "The Last Grave of Dimbaza," an il­ legally filmed movie smuggled out of South Africa will be viewed. James Brown Jr., Political Science Department Chairman, will conclude the lectures with his subject "United States—Soviet Union Relations''. Brown is a former CIA specialist on Russia. He will cover issues such as Star Wars, the Strategic Defense Initiative, etc. Tom Gambill planned this program as a result of getting frustrated compar­ ing American students to students from other countries. "I would bet that more European students know who's runn­ ing for the Presidential nomination than American students," Tom stated.

Salary: $4.00 an hour Bikes— n—boards still on trial By NICK BEAUMONT Staff Writer Since the Board of Trustees meeting near the end of last quarter, at which a large number of students and some members of the local community were in attendance, little has happened regar­ ding university policy on bicycles and skateboards. . On the twenty-sixth of this month, there will be a meeting to discuss what the university's policy could or should be. At the present time, there is little go­ ing on to see about any decisions being made. Steve Feller, student government president, says, "I haven't heard anything new since the BOD meeting." What is or was being discussed and debated was a campus-wide restriction on the use of skateboards, and partial restrictions on where and when bicycles could be ridden. The issue of skateboards and bicycles is of concern to the university because of the possible liability it may be found to have if a student or individual on campus is hurt or severely injured in a angle or multi-person accident. Associate professor Owen Pratz of the Psychology Department says liabiltiy is the "big issue at work," and says, "There was a good deal of concern about skateboarding on campus. The major concern was the cost to the university," he says, the threat being the university being liable for the pain and suffering caused to an individual or individuals if there is an accident. The university has no rules established for the safety of the students and staff and for any who may be on campus. "The liability issue is a real stinker," he says. Allen Gulezian, professor of Business Administration, says if there is to be any skateboard and bicycle policy, it should be more restrictive than banning. "I think it should be controlled, but not banned from the university, just as bicycles or anything else that could harm students."

Not only does the warmth of the sun make us feel good, but the sun's rays also help us to make vitamin D. The sun's ultraviolet radiation stimulates a chemical in our skin which is eventually converted to usable vitamin D. Vitamin D is necessary for calcium absorption and normal bone metabolism. A deficiency can lead to soft bones which can make one at risk for serious bone fractures. There are many factors affecting the amount of vitamin D produced by sun exposure some include: the time of day and year, pollution level, cloud cover, the pigmen­ tation of skin and the type of clothing worn.

Page 6 — The Observer Letters A scoop on 'Scoop' By CARRIE Staff Writer O'DONNELL Mrs. Helen Jackson, wife of the late Senator Henry "Scoop" Jackson, spoke at the Central Washington University Library, April 13,1988. Mrs. Jackson, chairman of Henry M. Jackson Foundation, which was established as a living memorial to her nusband, presented delightful stories about Scoop, a history of the senator's accomplishments, his dedicated involvement to society, and an explanation about the exhibit featured in Central's Library. "The exhibit is really the tip of the iceberg from the mountain of material donated by Senator Warren Magnuson and by the Jackson family to the University of Washington archives," said Jackson. It consists of photographs, speeches, papers, committee reports, and campaign material. Scoop had kept everything," said Jackson. On the panels of the exhibit are momentos of Scoop's youth. It in­ cludes photographs and memos of his work as a conservationalist, and as a senator. It also features momentos from his agricultural involvement with Yakima. A letter is included from a ten- year-old girl from Ellensburg, asking Scoop for his help in fighting pollu­ tion. "He saw the world as an imperfect place and sought to make it better," said Senator Robert C. Byrd, West Virginia. He seemed to be interested in politics at an early age. There is a picture of him at age ten or twelve, wearing an uniden­ tified candidates campaign button. Another photo shows an earnest Boy Scout in an oversized uniform. Scoop did a lot of hiking and camp­ ing in the Cascades near Monte Cristo. This experience provided an excellent preparation for the future chairman of the Senate Petterior Committee. His older sister, Gertrude, encourag­ ed him to attend the University of Washington. He earned his 28 dollars tuition per quarter by waiting tables for his fraternity. There are materials from this time period in the archives. After he graduated from the University of Washington, he became a social worker in the Snohomish area during the Depression. This lead to his develop­ ment of social reforms during his legislative career. At age 26, Scoop was elected pro­ secuting attorney of Snohomish Coun­ ty. Two years later, he decided to run for Congress. The community saw him as an earnest and upright individual. "The turning point of 'Scoop's cam­ paign was when Oral Roberts introduc­ ed Scoop at a revival meeting, and then gave him his blessing. At that point, the victory was his," said Jackson. Scoop was elected to the U.S. Senate in 1952. He was the only Democrat elected that year from the four Northwestern states. His career took off from there. Scoops' principle concerns were health care plans, national security, in­ ternational affairs, and human rights. He also had a special regard for The People's Republic of China. Jackson donated two books to Cen­ tral's Library. One of the books is the "Eulogies Memorial Addresses," delivered in Congress at the time of Scoops' death, and the other is the book, "Staying the Course, Henry M. Jackson National Security." The Henry M. Jackson and Warren G. Magnuson Papers exhibit will be on display on the second floor of CWU's Library through the end of April. BORING BUT DEADLY When you hear about cholesterol and all the healthy things that you should be doing for your body it gets boring and discouraging to hear about, doesn't it? Who wants to hear that they are eating the wrong things and are going to have a premature death by way of a heart attack? Nobody. And since it doesn't really effect your life right now, why worry about it, right? Well, I think it is time you woke up. The following is something that happened 30 years ago that I thought was really interesting, and I think you will too. It shows the seriousness and frequency of cholesterol. In 1953 during the Korean War over 300 soldiers killed in action were autopsied for visible signs of coronary disease. The results were startling. The coronary arteries were dissected and over 77 percent of the cases showed gross evidence of coronary disease that resulted in some kind of arterial narrowing. The average age of the soldiers was only 22 years old. Many think by measuring your blood pressure that you can decipher whether or not you have a high cholesterol level. Although the two do correlate, this is not so. A tiny prick of the finger will give you the type of reading that is not only accurate but may save your life. This Thursday, between 4:00-8:00, April 21 Ostrander's Drug will be hosting a Cholesterol Screening at Ellensburg Middle School. If you are the least bit concerned about the life you will live or not live, I would advise you to go to this screening. And if you are thinking that you don't need to worry about it because you are only in your twenties, you're wrong. Now is the prime time to begin living a longer and healthier life. This advertisement is not paid for. The only reason this is in Observer is because we are concerned with the health of our fellow students and feel that this screening will serve very beneficial. continued from page 2 might take the time to clean-up the mess...it is a matter of respect. Maybe I'm wrong maybe our society is used to all the litter left on the ground, and thinks, "who cares someone else will clean it up." But really, how hard is it to find a garbage can and thr?w the unwanted items away? Central has made a step forward in starting a recycling program in the resident halls, do you know for every four foot high stack of newspapers recycled you con­ serve 593 gallons of water, 700,000 BTU's of energy and one tree. And for every aluminum can recycled, you will conserve enough energy to run a T.V. for three hours or a light bulb for 20 hours. If you give a darn about the quality of our campus and the en­ vironment in this valley, I challenge you to start recycling your renewable stuff and throw the rest in a garbage can. 1 would also like to challenge the pro­ fessors and departments here on campus who haven't already started recycling to do so to set an example. If you want to know more about our environment, take a Environmental Studies class here at school. These classes are listed under breadth requirements and will be well worth your time. Unfortunately, I know there are those of you who will skim over this letter and will say "who cares". Someday, when our waterways are too polluted to use, our resources are used up, the quality of life is gone, and the last eagle soars above...then will you care?!! Signed, Benji Hocker P.S. Interested in a State wide spring clean-up? Call 1-800-RECYCLE. To the editor: Now that student government elections are over, our campus seems to have returned to normal. No more posters. No more flyers. No more knocks at the door. Yet for all the aggravation this might cause some people, these elec­ tions do serve a purpose. As a candidate for president, of course I was disappointed when I did not win. However, I'm more concerned with the lasting effects this campaign will have. Each year, the election process becomes more refined and more and more students turn out to vote. This year, two very crucial mistakes were made. The official poster of candidates' statements was of extremely poor quality and the usual public debate was not held. This aside, the election was very sucessful in turning the tide of student apathy. However, there are ideas which need to be im­ proved, and I would like to bring them up. Each and every candidate men­ tioned the issue of "communica­ tion" at least once in their speeches. This has been an issue for as long as I can remember, and not much has been done to correct it. With each and every candidate promising reforms in this area, we should be able to expect some radical improvements. It's impor­ tant for students to be responsive to communication, and become involved, but please, for once give us something that will wow us. It should also be known: the Board of Directors are paid salaries. Our tuition pays these salaries, and for the coming year, Thursday, April 21,1988 the salaries have been set: Presi­ dent $1900 per quarter, Vice- President $1235 and Directors-at- Large $760. In the past, there has been gross misuse of this system. Elected officers ready to set the world on fire soon find out that the paychecks come regardless of the number of hours put in. Other schools have means of monitoring this, such as weekly reports posted in the union building. The board needs to make themselves accountable to us, and we need tb be concerned with their activities, and most importantly, their ac­ complishments. I would also like to challenge the board to widen their horizons. There is a wide diversity of students out there those that live on-campus, and those who live off those just of high school and those returning after time away those who commute, those with families those with handicaps, and those belonging to a wide variety of ethnic heritages. Are we serving all those students? I was the only candidate to visit Brooklane Village and discuss childcare with these student- parents. I was one of the few can­ didates to reach out to those students attending Central through the extension centers located around the state. I also contacted STRATA and the Women's Resource Center. Which brings me to my next concern. Sour grapes aside, how many people realize that Central has never had a woman student body president? Eastern, Western, and WSU have each two or more. I was the first woman to ever run for the position. The reasons I lost cannot be pinned down precisely, but prejudice did have an effect. My opponent and I were equally qualified, our experiences and ac­ tivities almost pararell. Both of us worked extremely hard. Popuiari- i ty had a big impact on the out­ come, but we have to admit, so did a certain amount prejudice of against women in power. We all need to re-think our views on sex- roles, both men and women stu­ dent, faculty and administrator. Sometimes we act like June and Ward Cleaver, but the world we hope to work in demands much more. Are we ready to work for it? Can we work together? To sum this up, I would like to dispell a myth. A student does not run for office for the fame and for­ tune involved. Many people criticized me for running ^two years in a row. Trust me, I was not in it for the money, for my resume, or to boost my ego. Ask any candidate, even those who won, an election is the biggest steamroller your ego will ever en­ counter. It is my sincere hope that stu­ dent government can grow and prosper. I also look forward to the day that a qualified woman is finally elected, erasing those bar­ riers and allowing all of us to move forward. To all those who supported me, voted for me, and gave me those precious words of encouragement-THANK YOU. And to all those who tore down one of my signs, you owe me a dollar for each one.

Thursday, April 21,1988 The Observer — Page 7 J mmSmummmmmmmMtA By SARAH HURT Staff Writer Maribel Gomez dances a mexican dance before an audience of students in Hitchcock Halt Black student union Cinco de Mayo, the obser­ vance of Mexico's liberation from Spain, will be officially celebrated this year for the first time on Central's campus. The week-long celebration is sponsored by MECHA (Movi- miento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlan), a Hispanic student club the Central Office of Minority Affairs and the Associated Students of C.W.U. Patty Loera, Spanish/political science major and president of MECHA, said the group tried to put a Cinco de Mayo celebration together for years, but was unable to get the necessary money. This year, Minority Affairs agreed to fund the project, and planning is underway. With the help of Mike Lopez, the director of Minority Affairs aiid his secretary Pat Haily, MECHA was able to get through the red tape and plan the agenda of festivities for the week. Although the celebration of Cinco de Mayo officially begins May 2, MECHA has been per­ forming traditional folk dances in various halls to promote the event and raise money for it. A n display of Chicano ait and t literature in the SUB will kick J off the celebration. O Wednesday Cinco de Mayo % guest lecturer Dr. Dan Gallego, sociologist from Weber State o University, Utah, will speak in t the SUB Pit at noon on the topic jl "Chicanos in the 21st Century." Gallego will lead another, more in-depth discussion Thursday in the SUB Yakima room. The Tlerra Mala Band, an authentic Mexican group will close the celebration with a free dance in the Sub Ballroom. Hie By TAMRAM. LUCAS Staff Writer Hie Black Student Union is back on Central's campus for the first time in eight years. According to Chris Bigelow, the club's president, the club was brought back to "help students graduate by motivating them to get their degrees." He feels it is important for minorities and other students to realize they are not alone. He says, "We want to inform them about what they can to to make their four-year stay a little better." The dub's goals are to educate students about black history, scholarships, academic advising, and to become involved in com­ munity service. Some future plans include raising money for Black History Month and Mar­ tin Luther King's Birthday in order to help make the events more memorable and educa­ tional. The club became active again through the dedication of several Central students in­ cluding Bigelow, David Yamada, Mark Miller, Robin McAlpine and Jeanine Godfrey. During winter quarter, they began passing the word that there would be a Black Student Union forming in the spring to gain interest. Reactivating the club after eight years was not as difficult as they anticipated. ' 'There was a lot of interest to get a club started, all it needed was for someone to take the in­ itiative," claims Bigelow. Bigelow says, "We aim to benefit Central as a whole." The BSU hopes to help CWU recruit more minority students and faculty.' 'We need some minori­ ty faculty members as role models because everyone needs role models," explains Bigelow. The six-week old club, has 40 regularly attending members, making it one of the largest organizations on campus. Although the club is primarily focused around education, the officers are trying to attract new lapcibers by focusing on social evSits. These events include ac­ tivities-such as an intramural softball team and dances. Bigelow attributes the club's success to its officers. "They are busy, organizing dances, speakers, and even a study hall for students to help each other with classwork," he says. The dance begins at 8 p.m. When it ends at midnight, so does the week of Cinco de Mayo. The celebration is not only a chance for students to have fun, but is an opportunity to promote cultural awareness. Loera feels that a lot can be accomplished by acknowledging the traditions and differences of another group. She said, "To lessen the pro­ blems of discrimination we have to understand each other's cultures. We need to stop fighting. Trying to assimilate completely is impossible. We have our own traditions that we don't want to give up. We shouldn't be asked to give them up. What we need is to be ac­ cepted as a group." MECHA is a group that tries to help Hispanic students with this acceptance. It provides a way for them to deal with the pressures placed upon them and lends support to its members. The group meets Tuesdays at 5 p.m. in Sub Room 208 and welcomes new additions to its membership. MECHA serves an important need to a segment of society that is growing at a rapid rate. It helps Central students of Hispanic background to deal with the constant pressures of two societies, to support their own traditions and to promote cultural awareness. Lorea said, "By the end of the century, Hispanics will be the majority minority. The median age will be 18-21 years and if we are going to be an uneducated group, then there will be problems." MECHA's goal is to alleviate those problems and to help Hispanics to become accepted while retaining traditional and cultural values. Ad Club to hold raffle officers include three vice- presidents, senior Clarence Walker, and juniors Kevin Bur­ ton and Tonya Seaberry secretary Theresa King and treasurer Lenal Brinson, both juniors. Members of the organization are concerned Central students might be misled by its' name. According to Bigelow, "It is not a black-dominated club we are a support group for everyone. We have some non-black members and we are trying to get more involved." Some students have suggested a name change for the club to solve this problem. However, this would eliminate their affilia­ tion with schools on **»e West Coast who already have Black Student Unions, including the University of Washington and Washington State University. Central's club plans to work closely with these affiliations and hopes to attend the national events they sponsor each year. Meetings for those interested in the Black Student Union are held every Thursday at 7:00 p.m. in SUB 104. By LEAH L. SMITH Staff Writer The Advertising Club will hold a raffle in the SUB Pit April 22 at 12 noon to finance its par­ ticipation in the upcoming regional advertising competition on April 29 in Billings, Montana. Ten members of the Ad Club along with advisor Alan Taylor will attend the convention where five members will make an oral presentation about their Nestle advertising campaign. The raffle offers five different prize packages with approx­ imately the same value along with coupons which are redeemable at local businesses. The idea of the coupons, ac­ cording to president Nola Hut­ chison, was the brain child of club member Nic Robbennolt. Why the coupons? "The reason that we put the coupons on the back of the raffle," says Robbennolt, "is so that each stu­ dent could redeem the coupons and essentially get their money back. This way everyone is a winner." Five winners will receive packages designed to appeal to a wide range of individuals, in­ cluding one tor summer, a night on the town, entertainment, school and fun and shape-up. All prizes to be given away were donated by local businesses. The club, which needs ap­ proximately $4,000 to finance the trip, has received some financial assistance from the Yakima Adult American Adver­ tising Federation, and Central's Club Senate. The club still needs to raise over $2500. The raffle, according to Rob­ bennolt, is the main fund raiser for the club because, "What we don't raise from the raffle for competition expenses will have to come out of the student's pocket." This year's advertising com­ petition will be the second one the club has attended in two years. Last year's competition was held in Spokane where the team made an advertising presentation on the Chevrolet Cavalier which was praised as outstanding for a first time ef­ fort. With the experience gained last year, club members are con­ fident that they will succeed in this year's competition.
Page 8 — The Observer Thursday, April 21,1988 Two comedies played at Tower Theater By LISA R. CARTER Staff Writer Two comedies by one of America's brightest playwrights took the stage April 8, 9, 14, 15 and 16 at Central under the direction of Dr. Richard Leinaweaver, drama department chair­ man. Christopher Durang, author of the two comedies, has been called "one of the funniest playwrights alive" by The New Yorker magazine. Two of his most popular works,' 'The Actor's Nightmare" and "Sister Mary Ignatius Explains It All For You'' played together at Central's Tower Theatre. Leinaweaver says he likes Durang's style because "he feels good. When we read his plays his words and his dialogue sound so much like people, and then he carries it a little beyond that to make it comic." Central's evening of Durang hilarity opened with "The Actor's Nightmare." ' 'Every person who has acted in more than one play has had the nightmare in which he/she is onstage, or about to go onstage, in a play that he's never heard of, in a theatre he's never been in, with strangers in the cast and crew," says Leinaweaver. "The Actor's Nightmare," is a pain­ fully funny tale of an unlucky accoun­ tant who stumbles onto a stage, is mistaken for the leading man, and shoved into the limelight with no knowledge of lines, props, or anything else happening around him. Brian Kooser played the hapless "everyman" George. Other cast members were Vida Vasaitis (Sarah Sid- dons), Christina Jones (Dame Ellen Terry), Terry Uppenberg (Henry Irving), and Barbara Grenia-Verzona (Meg). The curtain rose again for "Sister Mary Ignatius Explains It All For You," an absurd comedy about four former Catholic school students who are now adults returning to their childhood classroom for a final showdown with, their old teacher. According to Leinaweaver, "This is another nightmare of sorts a teacher's, where in students return, strangers, all grown-up, or children of students of long ago. They remember everything that you, the teacher, said or did, and they won't forgive you. Or worse, they label you irrelevant. No easy pill to swallow. But they're much more bitter when you're absolutely sure and cer­ tain about absolutely everything, as is the case in this play." "Sister Mary Ignatius Explains It All For You," started out as a light, funny comedy but as it progressed it became too heavy for the laughs it expected to receive. This production was entered in the American College Theatre Festival. The aims of this national theater education program are to identify and promote quality in college-level theater produc­ tion. Students attend mock U.N. By LORETTA Contributing Writer MCLAUGHLIN Central students representing the African country of Zambia are now par­ ticipating in the 38th annual Model United Nations held in Regina, Saskat­ chewan. For almost a week, students from col­ leges around the world hold a mock United Nations session at the Universi­ ty of Regina, Canada. "The purpose is for students to faithfully carry out the U.N. respon­ sibilities of the country they represent," said Rex Wirth, professor of Political Science at Central. Most of the 18 Central students par­ ticipating are Political Science majors, although there are a few Economics and one Chemistry major. They're all in­ terested in current affairs. "This involves issues people are in­ terested in," said senior Don Dowie, head delegate of the Central Zambian delegation. The agenda for the model session is identical to the United Nations agenda for its last session according to Wirth. This includes discussions of conven­ tional arms and disarmament, the situa­ tion in Kampuchea (Cambodia), and developments with the Palestinians. "We'll be role playing as accurately as possible," said Tom Nations, delegate chair for the first committee. Any resolutions the students adopt in Regina will be sent to New York for evaluation and consideration by a U.N. committee. "But that's no guarantee that anything will be done on them," says Wirth. In preparation for Regina the delegates researched Zambia's voting record at the U.N. along with many of its policies as head of the Organization of African Unity. They also participated in the Far West regional conference held at the University of Washington. "It's gratifying to use your research in debate, and not just take a test and forget it," said Dowie. Along with learn­ ing the United Nations procedures and politics, many of the participants are there for "the fun of the trip." Hie delegates will be at the model United Nations until Monday after­ noon. p ill m Sister Mary Ignatius played by Kelly Allen explains it all for you. ccnfe' rose COFFEE & TEAS SPECIALTY PRICE ESPRESSO ' Sunday 12-4p.m. ^urwfrwls bookstore NEW &• USED Check out our new shipment of prints (Great for decorating your dorm) Books traded at 20-40% face value.

Thursday, April 21,1988 m Show your stuff at Papa John's By SARAH HURT Staff Writer Cozy Abbott, a special education ma­ jor, is this year's coordinator for Papa John's-a sort of improv in the SUB Pit. She is following in the footsteps of countless others who strived to bring weekly live entertainment to the student^ at Central. Papa John's has been around for years and years in the same location, with the Same purpose: Abbott ex­ plains, "The Pit is a central kinda loca­ tion. It's casual. People can drift in and out, walk through or sit down if they like what they hear. Audience appeal is what we're all about and I won't even ask them to keep it clean!" Each Wednesday, performers have a chance to do what they do best. The microphone and p.a. system are set up and waiting for anyone who is ready and willing to share a joke, song, or story. Abbott wants to encourage everyone to give it a try. "I'd like to see more comedians down here. How many people out there are dying to use a microphone and haven't had the chance? Well, here's your chance babies!" She is hoping to make Papa John's a comfortable place where students can feel relaxed and a place that is known for a good time. "I guess we're kind of trying for a coffee house atmosphere, kicked back and casual. I'd also like to see it be so popular that it would be packed every Wednesday night. They used to have to kick people out at 10 p.m. I'd like to see that again." While the concept of Papa John's is to provide entertainment, there is also an element of competition. Each week, the entertainer who gets the most applause wins a large pizza from Pizza Mia and a Spring 1988 "Hardcore" T-shirt. Abbott feels that should be incentive enough to bring forth performers on Wednesday night. "I would like there to be a more festive atmosphere on campus. Instead of locking themselves in their Barto rooms, they should bring the party down here to the Pit. I'd like to see them come on down." There are only three chances left this quarter to participate in the open forum at Papa John's. Those interested in per­ forming need to contact Abbott before 7:30 the night they choose to use the microphone. If equipment is needed, she can be reached in the Student Ac­ tivities Office. The next Papa John's event is April 27 when the Jazz Choir II, directed by Dave Cazier, will perform. This will also be the night of the first official open microphone, and Abbott encourages everyone to stop by, listen and if the mood strikes them, perform. Papa John's primarily focuses on the untapped talent of Central students, and Abbott sees this as a great oppor­ tunity for fame. "If someone comes in and does well, they may be able to get more gigs." If they don't go on to loftier heights, she still stresses, "Everyone should take advantage of the chance to do their own thing." Abbott wants everyone to enjoy the open microphone whether they decide to use it or merely listen to those who do. She wants to encourage anyone who has ever had the desire to perform to step forward. Even if the step is not in the direction of the microphone, Abbott still would like people to "Check it out!" Youth drama center offers professional training By VIRGINIA SCHNABEL Staff Writer For the second summer, CWU and the Laughing Horse Theatre are spon­ soring a Youth Drama Center for children between the ages of eight and 18. There will a morning session and full- day session of professonal training under the direction of Clayton Doherty, who is an alumnus of CWU, and is now the Education Director for the Califor­ nia Theater Center. According to Kathleen Yepes, coor­ dinator of the Ellensburg Youth Center, ' 'Clayton is dynamite, tops in his field.'' Yepes said the idea for professonal children's training came about when Doherty was visiting Ellensburg and had a conversation with Central associate drama professor Jim Hawkins. "They felt Ellensburg was ready for professional children's theatre," said Yepes. Doherty contracts his time for pro­ grams such as this, and because of the high caliber of training he provides, he must be booked well in advance. Children work on voice, movement, improvisation, mime acting, stage com­ bat, theater history and play writing in the morning session and add design, lighting and costuming instruction to the full day session. Children tend to en­ joy the stage combat, especially the dy­ ing. Yepes said, "Kids love that. Half the fun is the gory death." This year, children will work on the non-musical version of the "Wizard of WE PRINT 0URRESUME0N EVERVCAN.

Yepes said she is excited to see this production.' 'It has so many wonderful parts." Children who attended the program last year were enthusiastic. "Most of our students are returns. Many have had to earn their own money to come back, they care enough about it to do that." Mike Cross, a 12-year old who attend­ ed last year, sold the most tickets to the play. As a result, he earned half of his tuition for this summer. Cost of the program for morning ses­ sion is $125, and for the full day pro­ gram, cost is $200. Sessions begin July 18, and continue through August 5. Although the cost may be prohibitive for some, Yepes said, "To a degree, you get what you pay for. To get top instruc­ tors you have to pay for them." She ad­ ded, "There are other drama oppor­ tunities in Ellensburg, such as the Parks and Recreation Department's classes. A community needs all levels of drama, including a professional level." "The program has a nice budget to work with," said Yepes, "the children won't have to scrounge everything." However, Yepes also pointed out that the best costumes are the ones that the children make themselves. "Last year, they made helmets out of Kentucky Fried Chicken buckets, and they were better than any they could have pur­ chased." There are still some spots available but class size is limited.

Thursday, April 21,1988 The Observer — Page 11 Rub a dub,dub lots of cars scrubbed "Be the first on your block to get your car washed at Happy's," and "You can't pick up chicks in a dirty car." These were just a couple of the messages directed at passing motorists over the loudspeaker at Happy's Market last Friday during a PRSSA fundraiser. The carwash brought people together in a cooperative effort to raise money for six Central students who lost everything in a house fire earlier this month. The warm, sunny afternoon combined with good friends and an abundance of water, created a playful atmosphere for everyone involved. • r i • - -'n'liViVkrttf1 -fl i ^ mmtsm- mm 111 WS: . mmmmzm MMMM mm mm wmm WMm&m wm illllHB !*!• §1111111 iillllp ISiSiSSSliis . .. ^ . . |l|||||||||. .

Thursday, April 21,1988 The Observer — Page 13 Tracksters qualify for Nationals By MIKE BUSH Staff Writer While CWU students walked along the river last Saturday afternoon, David Cummings and Dominic Urbano walked to Los Angeles at the Central Washington Invitational track and field meet. Both racewalkers have qualified for the 1988 NAIA Na­ tional Championships in L.A. May 26-28. While Urbano beat the national qualifying time by more than five minutes, Cumm­ ings was even more astounding, hammering the qualifying mark by over eight minutes. Showing the power and diver­ sity it will take to defend their district title, Central's men took home a total of seven first place finishes. Along with Cummings, Brian McElroy grabbed his share of the spotlight and two firsts with his continuing domination of the long jump and triple jump. The 3000-meter steeplechase was taken by Shawn Barrow in 9:42.7, while Mark Ward and Mike Pace took control of the 400- and 800-meter races, respectively. Showing strength in the throwing events, Steve Scherf- fiiis hurled his javelin 178' 3", earning a berth at the district "We have an excellent chance of defending our title." championships. Others who broke district qualifying marks were Steve Bator in the 110- and 400-meter hurdle events, Norman Warren in the long jump and triple jump, Kevin Burton in the 100-meter, William Buchanan in the discus and Scott Frick in the high jump. In the hammer throw, Scott Bickar may accompany Cumm­ ings and Urbano to Nationals in California. The junior is now se­ cond on CWU's all-time best list for the hammer throw, and is only three feet away from the national standard. The school's record holder is John Torrence, the 1987 national champion. WMRHMM •••••*• inflwii'iii . msiimmti Robert Sorbo/The Observer Bill Walker's face shows the force behind his put.

The number one doubles See Tennis page 14 By CRAIG PLAYSTEAD Staff Writer CWU baseball comes home after playing a frustrating week on the road. The 'Cats won only one of four games in two doubleheaders against Washington State and Whit­ worth College last week, putting their district standings at 3-1. The Wildcats have another shot at Whitworth this Saturday at 1 p.m. Other home games in­ clude Eastern Washington at 2 p.m. Monday, and the Universi­ ty of Washington at 3 p.m. Tues­ day. CWUatWSU Playing the highly ranked NCAA Division I Washington State Cougars on their own field would be a disaster to most NAIA schools, but CWU gave WSU quite a battle last Tuesday—coming close but dropping both games of the afternoon doubleheader 10-8 and 5-2. Central had the Cougars 7-3 four innings into the first game, but then the umpiring came into effect. Pitcher Charlie Hatem, who has walked only nine bat­ ters so far this season, walked six in five innings against WSU. The 'Cats lost their first game by two in extra innings. Mark Greeley hit Ms 17th career home run in the second inning earning him the CWU career mark in home runs previously held by Britt Stone's 16. Greeley now holds 12 bat­ ting and fielding marks. Wildcat first baseman George Farrah had a great game, going 4-for-4 with two RBI and 11 putouts in the losing cause. Designated hitter Darv Ecklund also had a respectable game, go­ ing 3-for-4 with an RBI. Centerfielder Rick Anderson started the second game off 1-0 with his fourth home run of the season. The lead did not last long though—WSU got two runs in the second and fourth innings, and the Cougars went on to a 5-2 win over the Wildcats. Central pitcher Andy Hoey got the loss for the 'Cats in 4 innings of work. After 26 games, shortstop Mark Greeley leads the team in batting, sporting a .420 average. Outfielder Joe Dawson follows right behind him, batting .410 with 9 home runs to his credit. Pitcher Charlie Hatem leads the pitching attack with a 2-2 record, 41 strikeouts and a 2.79 earned run average. CWU at Whitworth Saturday, the Wildcats split the doubleheader against Whit­ worth College, winning the first game 8-5 and losing the second, 6-2. The gpmes gave Whitworth a chance to challenge CWU's 2-0 district standings lead with their close second 6-2 record. Coach Ken Wilson played his pitching ace Charlie Hatem in the first game. Hatem went the full seven innings, striking out six batters on his way to an 8-5 win for the 'Cats. The win was Hatem's third of the season, with a little help from Central's trig bats, who got eight hits in the game. Joe Dawson slammed his 10th home run of the season in the top of the sixth inning. Second baseman Brian Baddley had a great game, going 2-for-2 with an RBI. CWU scored in only two of the seven innings, but the four runs in both the third and sixth innings were enough to win the game. The second game did not go as well for the 'Cats—they dropped the tail end of the twin bill 6-2 with pitcher Fred Sabentine picking up the loss after five inn­ ings of work. Whitworth manag­ ed to hold the Wildcats to only four hits, allowing them to take control of the game. "We played well, we got the clutch hits with men on base that we needed," Coach Wilson commented. Looking ahead to this Saturday's doubleheader against Whitworth at home, he added, "If we can maintain our ability to get the clutch hits with men in scoring position and our pitching can shut them down, we can make a sweep this week." Through 30 games, outfielder Dawson leads the team in bat­ ting with a .419 average. He also leads the team in home runs with 10 and RBI's with 33. Marc Greeley is second in average bat­ ting .400 respectively. The pit­ ching staff is led by Hatem, who has a 3-2 record with 47 strikeouts and a 3.15 earned run average. Central can wrap up the district title if they can sweep both double-headers this week against PLU and Whitworth, all games being played in Ellensburg. The Whitworth game will be Saturday with the first game of the twin-bill star­ ting at 1 p.m. Whitworth is the defending district champion. A sweep would mean a new era for the Central men's baseball program, a winning one.

League stats will also be run when the space is available. By KIRK LUNDQUIST Staff Writer Co-ed X league teams Pizza Hut and "The" played Wednesday under the hot and humid Ellensburg sun. Pizza Hut went into the game with a perfect record, while "The" lost their first by forfeit. In the first inning, the game was close. "The" had the first at bat, and with hits from Casey Rockwell and Cliff Pfenning, "The" earned a run. Dwight Bishop led off for Pizza Hut with a smashing double, followed by a power­ ful home run by Keith Scaffer. TTie inn­ ing ended at 2-1. The score slanted in the second inn­ ing, when "The" could not keep up with Pizza Hut's impressive hitting game. Marie Canida's sharp single was just one of the team's, and Schaffer drove three runners home with a fan­ tastic triple. The highlight of "The's" game was Lori Rolfness's powerful triple in the top of the third inning. Pfenning brought her home later in the inning. Trailing 10-2 at the top of the fourth, Pfenning commented of "The," "We are a great fourth quarter team." Ironically, the team did pick up two more runs in this inning, but Pizza Hut continued to dominate the five-round game. The final score was 11-5. The star of the game was Pizza Hut's Schaffer. He ended up hitting two for Please see Softball page 15 Tad Davis, top Wildcat "racqueteer. Tennis continued from page 13 match and Steve McCloskey's match were the best of the day, said Roberts, as they "came down to the last couple of games."

With both teams splitting three of the six singles and two doubles matches, the win or loss depended upon the se­ cond seed doubles team. In the third set, Whitworth was able to gain a slight edge and win the match 2-6, 6-4, 5-7.

The top two doubles teams of Jill Nelson and Reyes, and Lisa Burton and Gruhn won 5-7, 7-6, 7-5, and 6-4, 7-5, respectively. Head coach Dennis Roberts feels the best matches were the doubles match of Nelson/Reyes, and Reyes' singles match because there were no clear turning points, and no one could close the match out decisively.' 'It went back and forth, and the matches were separated by only one or two errors," said Roberts. Although the matches were strong spectator material, Roberts sais the 88-degree weather was especially hard on the players. He commented, "Most everyone was sunburned by the end of the day." "In the past, the CBC team has not been as tough, but they were strong this year and surprised us," said Roberts. -Jf •)£ they can," said Roberts.

Thursday, April 21,1988 coach loses Flying frustrates The Observer — Page 15 own game By ROY ELIA Staff Writer _ At first glance, CWU's 305-314 loss to Gonzaga last Thursday on Spokane's Hangman Golf Club puzzles the mind. After all, this is the same Gonzaga squad that finished 92 strokes behind the sixth-place Wildcats at the Colum­ bia Basin Invitational the same team that ended 20 shots in back of third place Central at the Whitman Invita­ tional and the same pack of Bulldogs that completed the CWU Invite 53 sw­ ings off the pace of third place Central Black, not to mention one behind Cen­ tral Red. "I didn't play three of our top four players" Wildcat coach Frank Crimp explained, referring to Tom Mueller, Mark Shaffer and Perry Hallmeyer. "If I had, we would have won." Crimp added he "needed to look at other players that wouldn't be in my top five normally." The Central coach saw the dual match as preparation for this week's tournaments at Portland State and the University of Puget Sound, and to perhaps determine "the (team's) number five position for the district tournament" in two weeks at Van­ couver, British Columbia. Wildcat regular Scotland Thede posted the best individual score of the day, an even-par 71. Other Central scores include John Brandvold, 77 Don Wilson, 81 Dan Williams and Will Thompson, 85 Todd Lemon, 90. The four best scores com­ prise the team tally. By ROY ELIA Staff Writer CWU golfer Tom Mueller has one ob­ jective this 1988 season: To help the Wildcats defend their NAIA District One title, which would qualify them for the national tournament in Mon­ tgomery, Alabama. Mueller, who placed 39th at nationals a year ago, has played competitively since the age of 15. He played four years of varsity golf at Ellensburg High School, and is entering his third cam­ paign at CWU. "I've always been fascinated by golf," the Central junior said, "It came most naturally to me." Golf can be a frustrating activity. There are moments, though, when linksters look back and chuckle at unusual things that have happened. Mueller fell prey to such an occurrence last year at Sudden Valley Golf Club in Bellingham. "I was walking down the fairway," Mueller recalled, "and a sudden gust of wind caused my umbrella to invert. (It) mmmm S&SS&RSiSxS TOM MUELLER Softball continued from page 14 three and scoring six RBI's. Although only one team can win, both succeeded in enjoying their after­ noon sun. As Schaffer put it, "We all are out here to have a good time." The men's game of the week took place on a typically windy but warm Thursday. Featured teams are Gin Phil and the Tav. Gin Phil won their first game and the Tav lost their first to a "tough team," ac­ cording to team member Todd Eledge. He blames part of the loss on poor of­ ficiating. This match between Gin Phil and the Tav. was a defensive battle. There was only one hit in the first two innings, and no runs were scored until Gin Phil brought in a player in the top of the third inning. This woke up the Tav. Several members of the team had hits, in­ cluding Hunter Lagets' damaging triple in the bottom of the third inning. The inning ended with the Tav leading 3-1. Throughout the rest of this six-and-a- half-inning war, Gin Phil could only muster up one more run. The final score was 3-2—the Tav's first win. Many members of the Tav felt they % % % % / lifted me off the ground. At the time, I weighed 215 pounds." Although this may seem like a freak accident, Mueller has experienced three similar incidents while at CWU. Mueller has analyzed his perfor­ mance so far this season as "about average." "I'm shooting about what I expected, although the consistency hasn't been there." Mueller added, "I've shot low and high rounds." How true. In the CWU Invitational two weeks ago, Mueller skied to an 85 at the Ellensburg Golf and Country Club, but rebounded nicely to post a 76 at the Yakima Elks the following day. From tournament to tournament, Mueller cited a drop in team scores as a reason for building confidence. "We know we can do better" Mueller said. "But we haven't come to our potential. We haven't jelled yet." When the Wildcats do jell, it will mean bad news for other NAIA District One participants on the road to Mon­ tgomery. played well defensively because of a se­ cond base play by Dave Mitchell. According to Eldege, the team won because of "teamwork . . . everybody contributes." Gin Phil has a complete team philosophy. According to team member Scott Gillespie,' 'We put the ball in play, don't have much power and play solid defense." Gin Phil, whose name came from a scene towards the end of the movie The Flamingo Kid, has a rule that if a member doesn't get a hit in one game, they have to use a 27-inch bobby sock softbali bat for their first time at bat in the next game.
