THE HHjjB Vol. 6 Issue No. 14 Thursday, June 2,1988 Ellensburg, Washington Goldthwait tears apart crowd By MIKE BUSH Staff Writer Aaaahhh!!! Last Wednesday night, Mc- Connell Auditorium became fill­ ed with the sounds of student's laughter and one amplified maniacal voice—Bob "Bobcat" Goldthwait's. Dressed in a ragged blue dress shirt, jeans, and red hightop sneakers, the Tab-guzzling com­ edian tore through the first half of the concert in the same fashion that led his way to star­ dom—screaming, ranting and wailing bursts of what could be mistaken for a massive hernia. Nothing and no one was safe from Bobcat's barbs, including the audience. Between jabs at President Reagan, Jimmy Swag- gart and Sylvester Stallone, he pulled no punches as he attack­ ed hecklers who stupidly spoke up, and even the town itself. Shouting at the audience in general, he joked, "Do you peo­ ple actually call this place E-burg? What, are you-.aU too lazy to pronounce 'Ellens'?" During the second half of the wildly funny show, however, his pace slowed, the screeching came to a halt and he perched himself upon a stool, his ump­ teenth soft drink in hand. Still taking shots at a front row heckler, he talked almost solemnly of his past drinking problem. "Here's a good exam­ ple of why I don't drink anymore," he said, pointing to the critic, "I'm afraid I'll act like him in public . " He talked lovingly of his baby daughter and of the birth, which he witnessed. "The doctor turn­ ed to me and asked if I would like to cut the umbilical cord," he said, "I asked 'excuse me but isn't there someone a little more qualified'?" Goldthwait ended his hour- long set with a rendition of "With or Without You," by the rock group U2. Marching and twisting to the recorded music, he showed his voice to match his laugh-making skills, earning thunderous applause and laughter from the thrilled crowd. Opening the concert was David Spade, a costar in Police Academy IV and the Goldthwait's best friend. As the audience chanted "Bobcat, Bob­ cat" in reaction to Spade's en­ trance, he looked to have tough going ahead, but he came through beautifully. With the same intelligent sense of humor as Goldthwait, but without the bizarre delivery, he recieved the same audience enthusiasm as his mentor.

Move to McConnell saves money By TRISTIE THIRSK Staff Writer Bob "Bobcat" Goldthwait per­ formed in front of a near sellout crowd of 750 to 800 people in McConnell Auditorium May 25. Opening for Goldthwait was his personal friend, David Spade who appeared with him in Police Academy HI. The pro­ gram began at 8:00 and Spade was on stage for 45 minutes. Bobcat, who was scheduled to perform for one hour, was on stage for an hour and a half. The show was originally sup­ posed, to be held in Nicholson Pavilion. Ticket sales, however, did not go as well as expected, and on Monday the show was changed to McConnell Auditorium. According to John Drinkwater, Director of Student Activities, "About 406 tickets sold on Monday. That was the day we made the decision to move. Originally (we were) op­ timistic that we could hold the show in Nicholson Pavilion. To stay in Nicholson Pavilion, we would have had to sold 1,400 tickets." The change in locations need­ ed to be approved by the agency representing Bob Goldthwait. Drinkwater said he was "disap­ pointed at the fact it was not sell­ ing at the level to get it into Nicholson Pavilion." Once the decision to changlfjocations was made, a new goal was set to sell out McConnell Auditorium. Drinkwater gave two main reasons why he thought McCon­ nell Auditorium was a better place to hold the program. One, the costs of setting up and security are far less than in Nicholson Pavilion. Two, Mc­ Connell Auditorium has better lighting, acoustics and is more comfortable. The lack of ticket sales came as a surprise because, according to Drinkwater, "The reason we Please see Tickets page 6
Page 2 — The Observer Thursday, June 2,1988 Guest Editorial Graduation! What am I to do? By VICTORIA ASMUSSEN Graduation. A time you have dreamed about and anticipated for what seems, a thousand years. Now it's here, what do you do? Do you go hunt for ajob right away, showing how full of spunk and go get 'em you are. Or doyou take time off and vacation for awhile? After all "You've got the rest of your life to work." My parents feel that since I have worked so hard (so hard?) the past four years, I should be excited and overly enthused about looking for a real job. I empathize with their thoughts, but there is another viewpoint as well—mine. If I have worked so hard, don't I deserve a break? Maybe a trip to Mazatlan, a cruise to Puerto Vcdlarta or a shopping spree in New York? That's not addng too much, is it? It must be because Fm getting crystal salt and pepper shakers for my hope chest. It's not Mazathm, but itll do, I guess. I hope I don't sound like I am bitching, 'cause I'm not. Thepointlam trying to get across to you is it is okay to be a little confused when graduating. We tare all facing a big change in our life. Most of usdon't know where we are going or what we are doing. Ifwedoknow, willweWte it? Will We be happy? Will we succeed? I am no expert on "What to do after graduation'' but I do know you should do what you feel you need to do, not what others feel is right. Some of us need to take a break for awhile, otherwise we will be burned out before we even start our new job. Others of us need work right away, before the momentum dies or before we forget everything we've learned(wouldn t that be the worst). Personally, I'd like to keep going. The more I do the more energy I have. The less I do 'he more unmotivated I become. However, it is different for everyone. That's what makes our world so in­ teresting. . The whole job thing is so confusing and controversial. I hear, as I am sure you do. too, "Get out and look for ajob now. If you wait too long they'll all be gone." And then you hear from someone else, "Oh, just take it easy for a while, there are more jobs in the fall" Heck, who knows ' what 's right or who to believe! Whatever it may be, you 'll find your niche. Just remember to relax and not Stress. You'll have plenty of time to do that once you get your job. Iguess the last thing I have to say fa my fellow graduates is, Good Luck. Strive hardand don't let the little things get you down. If you don't get that first job, second or third, so what! You've got to think "I'm not the one missing out, they are!" Justthinkpostiveandkeepplugging. You can do anything if you just set your mind to it. There is a lot to offer out there, you just have to keep your eyes and ears wide open, I would love to see some of you in the news, on the cover of lime or the special guest star on Johnny Carson ten years from now. Just Go For The Gusto Guys, you can do it! Good lAtck and God Bless. Maybe III see you in Mazatlan (in my dreams). i J \ C N- \cT £ !?| J.X / V / r 1 •'wVbt- v k.W'l ' /cUr-c w LETTERS TO THE EDITOR To the Editor As we approach graduation, it seems only appropriate to look back and notice the people that made a difference during our years at Cen­ tral. For us, one professor stands out as truly outstanding and she is Dr. Laura Appleton inspired each of us in different ways, but she caused all of us to push the limits of our abilities. While teaching us the facts, she also taught us to think analytical­ ly and truly understand what we learned. She challenged us to con­ stantly test ourselves, going one step further than we ever thought we were capable. She didn't accept weak excuses for failure, but instead convinced us we were capable. She teaches not through intimidation, but through understanding and car­ ing. By believing in us, she made us proud of who we are and what we have accomplished. We feel indebted to Dr. Appleton for the affect she has had on us, and this is our way of letting her and the rest of CWU know how much we ap­ preciate her. So as we head out into the real world, we raise our margaritas and offer a thank you toast to Dr.'A'. Signed, Ta.ma.ra E. Tucker, James P.

Thursday, June 2,1988 The Observer — Page 3 President elected to COPA ^ By TAMRAM. LUCAS Staff Writer ' President Donald Garrity has been elected to a three-year term on the board of the national Council on Postsecondary Ac­ creditation (COPA). • His term'will officially begin July 1. Garrity, one of two members from the Northwest, will represent the Assembly of Institutional Accrediting Bodies. COPA terms itself the "the balance wheel for # accreditation," because it authorizes accrediting agencies. Their fundamental purpose is to approve and disapprove in the nature of accreditation. Garrity explained, "COPA is a national umbrella association to 3 give assurance that organiza­ tions meet reasonable standards for quality work." He believes COPA will attempt to improve the quality of accreditation and thus improve the quality of in­ stitutions. £ The voluntary non­ governmental organization monitors the high standards of all accrediting agencies, working to "foster and facilitate the role of accrediting bodies in pro­ moting and insuring the quality £ and diversity of American postsecondary education," ac­ cording to COPA's mission statement. All 19 members on the board (COPA) are not specifically from institutions as Garrity is, some are indirectly related. Garrity claimed, however, "They are all concerned with higher educa­ tion." Member institutions range from associations of state col­ leges, universities, and indepen­ dent schools, to specialized organizations such as the American Bar Association and the Accrediting Board for Engineering and Technology. Constituents of the Washington D.C.-based COPA include nearly 6000 U.S. postsecondary institutions and 53 recognized accrediting bodies. Although not affiliated with the government, the federal government depends upon ac­ creditation as protection for the grants of federal funds. Only those institutions which have been accredited receive grants and financial aid. Accreditation has two primary functions according to Garrity, "first to provide a means of pro­ tection to consumers, and se­ cond to assist institutions to im­ prove." Garrity explained his role on the board will help Central, just as it will other institutions. "It's wwwMwm mmmn m mm President Garrity's recent appointment to the Council on Postsecondary Accreditation adds new duties to his current hst of responsibilities. an attempt to make it a better place for institutions to grow and represent the highest value of higher education," he said. * Institutions must be reac- credited every ten years. CWU was last accredited in October '79, therefore the university is currently beginning the reac- creditation process. For the past six years Garrity has served on the Western Association of Accreditation. He has recently completed one year as chairman for the association. His term has been extended for an additional year to aid in the transition of new officers. Members of the national Council on Postsecondary Ac­ creditation will meet as a whole twice a year. In addition, throughout the year they will break into subcommitties which will meet several times through the year. CWU Ed professor wins service award By CARRIE O'DONNELL Staff Writer I Dr. Dorothy Sheldon has received top honors from a state organization for her career-long commitment to education for gifted children. Sheldon, an education pro­ fessor at CWU since 1969, is the winner of the 1988 outstanding service award from the Washington Association of Educators for the Talented and Gifted (WAETGJ. According to Dr. Jimmie Ap- plegate, dean of the school of professional studies, "We are very pleased and happy for her and fed that she deserves it Sheldon was instrumental in establishing Central's collegiate minor in gifted education which was the first such program of­ fered by a Washington public university." "It feels very good to be recognized as a leader in higher education in gifted," Sheldon said. Central is the only institution ewer having a gifted minor. Hie minor has been eliminated, but the courses are still available. Sheldon retrained a gifted pro­ gram in 1980 and began cur­ riculum work in gifted. "It's through that, that I got state recognition," Sheldon said. Sheldon retires after fall of 1988. "Typically they give the award to the people who have been in the program a long time and are retiring," Sheldon said. Sheldon will continue to teach the courses if there is a need and the greatest need now is at the graduate level. "The gifted program receives special recognition because the gifted children are underserved in the public schools and in higher education," Sheldon said, lliere is no federal funding for • Week promotes self esteem By TAMISCHRANK Staff Writer As the quarter ends and sum- ^ mer nears, many people are fin­ ding their stresses pushing them dose to the edge. Finals, sum­ mer jobs far a lack of one), and leaving their Mends for the sum­ mer are all common stressors. Stacy Smith, a living Group ^ Advisor (LGA) at Alford Mon­ tgomery ^Al-Monty) residence hall, found a cure, or at least something to help alleviate the end of the quarter blues. Smith's solution is called Self- Improvement Week and it ran m May 22-26. Smith said, "I wanted to help people improve their self-esteem and positive mental attitude at the ail of the year." The week started Sunday night with a hugs seminar, taught by Smith. She taught six different types of hugs and later in the week, handedout hug coupons which could be given to a person to receive a free hug. After the hugs seminar, Smith showed how to make friendship bracelets. Monday night brought the highlight of the week, a formal dinner attended by 114 people. Enrichment program professors, tutors, CWU housing staff, and Al-Monty residents and staff were present. Dinner was followed by guest speaker, John Graham. Graham is from the Giraffe project whose motto is "Sick your neck out.'- He told stories about people who are "everyday heroes," then pointed out how the audience, too, could help each other and improve society. Scott Drummond was the guest speaker in the Al-Monty lobby Tuesday. He spoke on positive thinking, self-esteem Drummond used examples demonstrating how negative in­ fluences bring about negative feedback. He stressed focusing on the positive. Wednesday night produced 25 new faces at Al-Monty. A representative from Zuchi's did facial makeovers and answered questions about hair. The week was capped by a demonstration of healthy snack by two nutrition majors representing Holmes Dining Hall.

"There is no certificate or en­ dorsement for a gifted education degree," Sheldon said. Sheldon also started a pro­ gram in Kittitas County for the rural schools. "We've just finish­ ed our seventh year with that program. It also got me state recognition," Sheldon said. Sheldon hasn't taught any courses this year. This is the first time she haki't done so in ten years. The courses offered here are identification of gifted, methods of teaching and ^materials of gifted education, creativity, evaluation of pro­ grams, psychology of gifted and a special ed course called the gifted child, an introductory course. "A couple of years ago the department looked at their minors and they didn't have very many studennts that com­ pleted the minor, so they eliminated the minor for finan­ cial efficiency," Sheldon said. Sheldon is the co-founder of PENTA, a volunteer organiza­ tion providing academic enrich­ ment to gifted and talented public school students. Sheldon has been coordinator of gifted education since 1981. As coor­ dinator, Sheldon arranges visits to the campus for children and teachers of gifted children. The children come from Kittitas County, Yakima, and the lower valley. 'H^ca^Uediikko need advanced work, and they're capable of concepts that are more adult. They like in­ tellectually stimulating ac­ tivities, so coming to the univer­ sity is a very good activity for them," Sheldon said. Sheldon supervised student teachers for 12 years before she retrained in gifted. This is why the gifted program has only been around since 1981.

Page 4 — The Observer Thursday, June 2,1988 Tuition on the rise again By NICK BEAUMONT Staff Writer Fall quarter, tuition will again rise slightly as another part of the planned 1987-89 biennium increase is added to tuition. The increase will be approximately fifteen dollars, comparing Fall 1987 tui­ tion to that of Fall 1988. This equals about 3.6 percent of current tuition. The increase is a product of the Higher Education Coordinating (HEC) Board decision to boost the tuition charged to all university students statewide. The increased tuition and fee pro­ posal was presented to the Central Washington Board of Trustees (BOT) by Vice President of Business and Finan­ cial Affairs Courtney Jones, the increase to be for the 1988-89 fiscal (and academic) year. The increase will effect graduate students, undergraduates, residents and nonresidents. The proposal was presented to the BOT on Febraury 19 of this year, and since has been accepted. The increase will make tuition arid fees $439 per quarter, whereas this past fall's tuition was $424. State funding, which pays 75 percent of total tuition costs, was $26,026,858, rising from the $24,143,027 for the year ended June 30, 1986. For the same year's revenue from tuition and fees dropped from $10,518,573 to $9,634,936. These numbers come from the 1986/87 Central Washington University Financial Report. For comparison between fiscal year 1983 and 1987, June 30, in thousands of dollars, the University paid $ 13,624,000 and $18,378,000 for instruction, $3,954,000 and $4,685,000 for academic support, with total operating expenses being $40,504,000 and $52,646,000, these figures rounded, and found in the aforementioned Financial Report. The report also gives sources of funds for operations, and for 1983 and 1987 tuition provided $6,911,000 and $9,635,000, while state appropriations for these years was $19,862,000 and $26,027,000, rounded to the nearest thousand. Total funds for these two years rose about $12 milium. Capital outlays (expenditures) for these years was $3,322,000 for 1983, and $2,428,000 for 1987. In 1983, tuition and fees for an undergraduate resident was $942 for the year, and for 1986-87the total came to be $1,212 for 1987-88, the cost was $1,272. For 1988-89, the total tuition and fees will be around $1,317. This in­ crease comes to be a little below a hun­ dred dollars per year. Hie three major sources of funds the university receives are the state, which provides 48 percent of all take-in dollars, auxiliary enterprises, which br­ ings in 21 percent, and tuition and fees, which brings in 18 percent. Other sources are grants, contracts, gifts, capital outlays, and "other" sources. As for where the dollars go, the following programs receive the follow­ ing percentages of university revenues: instruction, 33 percent auxiliary enter­ prises, 25 percent institutional support, academic support, and plant operation and maintenance, 9 percent student aid, 6 percent student services and capital outlays, 4 percent and research and public services, 1 percent. By category, the revenues go to: salaries and wages, 51 percent goods and services, 17 percent employee benefits, 12 percent grants and sub­ sidies, 7 percent equipment, 6 percent capital outlays, 4 percent debt service, 2 percent and travel, 1 percent. The CWU Office of the Controller's Annual Financial Report for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1986 says, on page ten, $618,295 of tuition and fees went to utility extension, utilities im­ provements, energy savings/boiler house, minor capital improvements, Bouillon reroofing, Hebeler Hall remodeling, computer center equip­ ment, Nicholson Addition, emergency repairs, small repairs and im­ provements, and renewal of campus buildings. Tuition increases are planned on the biennium, or every two years, and the way the increases have been scheduled, a little part of the total increase is added around each quarter. This is likely done to lessen the strain on students which would come from a large increase at one time. As it stands, no future in­ creases are planned, but they more than likely will come. Campus rape & its prevention By CINDY L. WOODSON Staff Writer - Central Washington University is no different than any other university when it comes to the emotionally damaging, physically scarring crime of rape. Rape is committed on CWU's campus, but students and public aren't informed. "The problem is getting the informa­ tion out," said Jackie Whittman, Chair­ man of STEPS, a support group that of­ fers education and prevention of sexual abuse. "The victim doesn't want people to know because it's a crime against her. So to respect the victim's privacy, it's kept quiet." "There have been six rapes reported this year at Central," explained Jackie. Acquaintance rape is typically what happens on college campuses. A person starts intruding on you, you get used to it. They get you in an isolated position and they rape you. Drugs and alcohol. are usually involved when this occurs. If you are clear with your com­ munication signals by stating "no" agressively instead of saying no with a smile, it can help prevent tfie acquain­ tance rape. Rape affects the victim physically and emotionally. They go through Rape Trauma Syndrome. The victim may feel scared, angry or hurt. Certain phobias occur such as fears of being alone, or more broadly, fear of men. Disturbances in sleep, nightmares, cry­ ing spells, and lack of appetite are also common results facing the victim. "The victim can get. help through counseling," stated Jackie. If they don't, they tend to suppress their feelings and their situation can worsen. The victim can turn to other dependencies such as alcohol, drugs and eating disorders. These devices numb the victim so she can't feel the hurt or pain. There are three kinds of rapists anger, power, and sadistic. The anger rapist is typically angry at women. Pro­ blems at work, at school, with a rela­ tionship, or even family problems can prevoke this unpredictable rapist to seek reprieve against innocent women. The power rapist feels he has no power. His way of establishing power is by being more powerful than women. Tlie rapist uses only enough force to get what he wants. He's the rapist that asks the victim if it was good for her as it was for him. The sadistic rapist characteristically severely injures or kills his victim. He's angry and confused between sex and pleasure. Sadistic rape is rare. The Bun- dy rape that happened many years ago at Central was classified sadistic. If you are put in a position with a man that feels dangerous and your gut is say­ ing something's wrong, be real cool. Be assertive with your rights. Tell him, I'm going to leave now. Stay away from me! Take control of the situation, and you may avoid a rape. Central has counseling fadlities and support groups that can reach out to the victim. If you are a victim of rape and want help contact Jackie Whittman at 963-1391. There is a 24-hour crisis line you can call 925-4168 if you need help or someone to talk to. Here are some reminders: -Never walk alone -Always be aware of surroundings when you're alone -Keep doors locked -Don't leave room unlocked when gone -Self-defense -Be clear with message. If you feel you are in a dangerous setting take measures to get out of it. -Don't go aloiie to parties. Make sure you have a ride home. Keep track of how many drinks you've consumed. Typically when you drink or take drugs your resistance is impaired, so you're not clear with your signals. Geology department to relocate By TODD E. SUCHAN s p.IT tftr *« nm actti writer .

Thursday, June 2,1988 9 Kerr shares interests The Observer — Page 5 Dr. Thomas Kerr provided some insight on the constitution and politics at a recent lecture. By NICK BEAUMONT Staff Writer Political science professor Dr. Thomas Kerr, who has been teaching at Central Washington University since 1970, spoke for an hour about the Con­ stitution, the Anti-Federalists, and politics and society today. The lecture, put on as part of the program of the Col­ lege of Letters, Arts, and Sciences, was attended by around 75 people from both the university and city communi­ ty- The title of the lecture was "Men of Little Faith? The Ideas of Thdse Who Opposed the Constitution—Then and Now." Dr Kerr, before coming to Cen­ tral, held a number of posts both inside and outside government, and had a book published in 1983 called "Civil Defense in the U.S.: Bandaid for a Holocaust." Civil defense seems an in­ terest of Kerr's, his dissertation being about the civil defense shelter program which arose several decades ago. Kerr has long had an interest in the nation's constitution, which was ex­ panded by all the bicentennial activities of the past few years. He commented it has been a source of the nation's political meanings, a guide for how our lives should be conducted, a product of active human minds arising from the human condition, and it somewhat defined what the nation was to become. About the struggle for the constitu­ tion's ratification, Kerr said "It was the first national political campaign." Dur­ ing the period of ratification, around the years 1776 through 1787, politics was fluid, without any solid direction, and the colonists, said Kerr, "felt the need for something new," instead of being governed by representatives and of­ ficials from England. Kerr discussed the framer's inten­ tions for unifying the people and the ter­ ritories, explaining how a republic was decided upon, with citizen's virtue as the cause of activity, political and other­ wise. He also mentioned the framers had to work around the realized fact that ma­ jority rule may not equal civil rights, had to develop a governing system to balance effectiveness with limits on power for the sake of individuals, ana said, "The writing of the constitution is by no means the end of the process," in essence saying the constitution is but a guideline and not rigid borders for society and government. The body of Kerr's lecture was about the Anti-Federalists, those who opposed the consitution, who are the' 'men of lit­ tle faith." The Anti-Federalists were, Kerr said, men of little faith, but who must be forgiven as they have done much for politics, many of their con­ cerns from 200 years ago being con­ cerns today, some being the cause of most of today's problems. Some ideas which Anti-Federalists disliked are today troublesome: big government, centralized in form, and grid-locked government operation. Of the political climate today, Kerr said, "There is a general mood of anxie­ ty in the land," adding, according to the latest figures, 53 percent of the people think the government does not tell the truth on a regular baas, and the U.S. has the second lowest voter turnout. "We seem lacking in values, like a na­ tion that has lost it's soul," Kerr said. He commented that the revitalization of religion in recent years seems to be a « response to the nation's loss of it's soul, | religion being a way to find a solution, g Federalism, which the Anti- jg Federalists opposed along with the con- £ stituion which made it the system of •jj political governance, had some con- 3 cerns, which include a dislike of the S federal power of taxation and the poten- o tial of the court system to make the na- z tional government supreme with little or no regard for the rights of in­ dividuals. Another concern was the proliferation of economic classes. Representation, used to balance ef­ fective government with the wants of the people, was viewed by the Anti- Federalists as biasing the system against the masses, the problem being the too- great separation between the represen­ tatives and the represented. As to if the Anti-Federalists were "men of ittle faith," Kerr said "yes," but adds they should not be taken as bad people. "Many of the things they feared, have, in fact, materialized." To­ day, the land is full, resources are scarce, and we live in a zero-sum socie­ ty, where mediation is breaking down. He posed the question, "What are our political meanings," and said the nation and the existing democratic system is under pressure because today the basis of operation is a politics of interests in­ stead of a politics of principle. He said we will have to place our appetites under control in order to protect the world around us, and ourselves. Whatever route politics takes will play a part in "What we are about as a society," which is a major concern of some and should be a major concern of all. Garrity honored at retreat By TODD E. SUCHAN Staff Writer The Army and Air Force ROTC pro­ grams honored President Donald Garri­ ty in a presidential retreat, Tuesday afternoon at Peterson Hall. President Garrity was being honored for his involvement and support in both the Army and Air Force ROTC pro­ grams. This was the first time both ROTC programs honored Garrity together. Garrity did an inspection of the troops. This honor is usually reserved for active military officers. After Garrity did his inspection, he gave a brief speech about Memorial Day and what it means. He spoke about the people who gave their lives up to make this country what it is today. He also commented it is important for our nation to spend a day remembering people who died in time of war. Garrity concluded his speech saying, "We wish those of you graduating, every success in Godspeed." The Army and Air Force color guard presented Garrity with aUnited States flag. This is called retrieving the flag to military personnel, and is taken as an official thank you. After the retrieving of the flag, Garri­ ty passed out awards to some of the Air Force cadets. The awards presented in­ cluded: Retired Officers Association Medal, Sons of the American Revolu­ tion Medal, American Veterans Award, and Daughters of the American Revolu­ tion Medal. The Army ROTC program has their own awards ceremony because there are many awards to pass out, and there wasn't time to do so at the retreat. According to Battalion Commander of the Army, David Housh, the ceremony took approximately three weeks to put together. Housh felt that both ROTC programs did very well. The presidential retreat concluded with both programs marching to the beat of the British 8th March. A potluck dinner was held for Garrity and the cadets in the sub ballroom.

Page 6 — The Observer relocate Continued from page 4 In the past, Lind Hall was occupied by the math, geology, and physics departments. A year ago the math department moved into Bouillon Hall, which left a vacant spot for the geography department to fill. The new construction is estimated to be completed by summer quarter. "The contract stated the construction would be completed in 90 days, and that's about the time summer quarter starts," said Ross. The remodeling is being done by Royal Concrete and Construction Co., from Royal City. The estimated cost is around $198,000. Ross said, "When lind was remodel­ ed in the past, you could tell the dif­ ference, which was caused from having a low budget to work with. What we're trying to do now is make the new con­ struction have that old look, which is quite expensive." There hasn't been any major setbacks with the remodeling of Lind, and everything seems to be on schedule. The space in Shaw/Smyser will be us­ ed to expand the accounting and business departments, once the geography department vacates. "Everyone is pleased with the extra space they will acquire. Students will also benefit with better quarters to learn in," said Ross. Tickets Continued from page 1 got Bobcat Goldthwait was from talking to students. (And) on this show we did more publicity and promotional gim­ micks than any other show." Advertisements were run in The Observer, the Yakima Herald Republic and the Ellensburg Daily Record. KXLE in Ellensburg broadcasted interviews with Bobcat and had ticket giveaway contests. KATS in Yakima had ticket contests and broadcast advertisements. In addition, 200 posters were distributed in Yakima, Ellensburg and on campus. Bobcat's movies were rented and played in the dining halls on campus. Two thousand coupons for $2 off the ticket price were distributed directly to people. Despite the fact that there was plenty of publicity, there were still not enough tickets sold to hold the program in Nicholson Pavilion^ Because the show came so close to the end of the year and the quarter, students were probably broke and didn't have $12.50 to spend on a ticket. Not all of the receipts from the show are in yet, but Drinkwater said, "We are looking at a minor loss. We have money in the budget to cover the loss. I don't think it will be too substantial. The difference in moving from Nicholson Pavilion to McConnell Auditorium is what saved us." Drinkwater said, " Bobcat, his management and opening act were a pleasure to work with. Very nice, ethical and professional. I was happy with the show. We had an excellent show that Central can be proud of. Once our goals changed, we had a very successful event.". Where future shows are concerned, Drinkwater said, "We are looking ahead to Homecoming next year to br­ ing in a major show on Saturday, Oc­ tober 29." Student input as to who will perform at that time is encouraged. 4* • V fuze* o * * COf fit ANb Tt Al q * & * + * • »* finm WcxJv'Studii „ , Certte/ls • 0 ^ » » 4 * » , * • •* a JUNE 5-9 h * + & • '• * 6pm- 11 pin a a b a „ % o D £P * • * * " ~ 9 , S.U.8.

Page 8 — The Observer Thursday, June 2,1988 Carter enjoys work as ranger wmmmmmfflm wmmmm WANAPUM recreational area, outlined in trees, is like an oasis in the bleak landscape of Eastern Washington. By SARAH HURT Staff Writer The area along the Columbia River near Vantage was once the home of the Wanapum Indian tribe. Today it's a state park dedicated to preserving the land and the history behind it. The Ginkgo Petrified Forest State Park opened in 1953 for year-round use. The park, con­ sisting of three different areas, is managed by Brian Carter. He has been in charge d the Ginkgo Park for 15 years. In addition to the heritage area, the natural area and the Wanapum recrea­ tional area (all part of the Ginkgo State Park), he 'also manages several other parks in Eastern Washington.' 'Besides managing this park, I am also manager of the Olmstead Place State Park, the Blewett Area State Park, the Yakima Canyon State Highway and the Helen McCabe State Park. It's about 2,500 acres of land in total," he said. Carter graduated from Eastern Washington University with majors in recreation and park administration. He said he had always enjoyed the out­ doors and being a park ranger seemed the natural choice. "My dad was an apple orchardist and being raised in that setting really helped me to love the outdoors. I wanted a job that would allow me to work outside and this fit the idea," Carter explained. Becoming a forest ranger re­ quires training—either from a college or university or ex­ perience in the field. According to Carter,' 'You must have a four year degree or two years of col­ lege with an outdoor related degree and two years of ex­ perience. Most people go for the four year degree because it takes awhile to get two years of ex­ perience." Before receiving his present position with the Ginkgo Petrified Forest State Park, Carter worked with the Forest Service fighting fires and with the National Parks. He said there's a difference between working with a national agency and a state run organization. "The National Parks have crews, rangers and administra­ tion. We (the state run parks) aren't as specialized. Being manager, I do most of the pencil pushing and less maintenance but the summer help—the park aides—do everything," he said. This time of the year , the aides are being kept busy. The park, expecially the Wanapum recrea­ tional area, is being geared for Memorial Weekend. They ex­ pect large numbers to show up and the campground to be filled. "We offer camping areas, picnic facilities, a full hook-up for r.v.'s, a boat launch and fishing areas. Being in the middle of the state makes us a prime location for families and friends to meet. Now that we're getting into Memorial Weekend, we're most concerned about safety. People often tend to get themselves into problem situations at this time." Those who do cause problems usually do so because of the use of alcohol. Carter said it's the problem drinkers that tend to create unfavorable cir­ cumstances. "Surprisingly enough, it's not the college students who we have trouble with. It's the 30-35 year old suc­ cessful, middle class guy." When there is a problem in the park, the rangers are able to take control of the situation. "A ranger is a commissioned police officer with full police power. If the problem is more violent, we can call the State Patrol. We have the full power of the police, we just don't carry guns." To be granted full police power, the rangers must receive training in the area of law en­ forcement. "When I was being trained, we went to the State Patrol Academy or had to go to a school for three months. Now, I think it's so many quarter hours. But we have to go to school one week every year for a refresher course. We have to be recer­ tified for the use of firearms, etc." The area Carter now protects once held numerous lakes and swamps. Trees from up river were swept down to the area and later covered by molten lava. Silica replaced the cell BRIAN CARTER structure of the logs and preserv­ ed them so Well archeologists were able to identify over 200 species of trees that once grew in the region. Carter enjoys sharing this history with visitors and aiding them with any problems that they might have. He wants peo­ ple to be enthusiastic about the area and wants them to know that he and the other park of­ ficials are there to ensure their safety. "I really like taking a group of interested people through the Interpretive Center and showing them what's been found. Another part of my jog that I enjoy is helping people who need to be helped. I wanted a job where I could be outside most of the time and this is it." By LISA R. CARTER Staff Writer • "Fashions of the Orient" has given the students at Central a better understanding of the fashion and culture of our coun­ try," Jennifer Lim, the M.C. for the fashion show, said. China, Japan, Korea, and Singapore were the four coun­ tries participating in the May 25 fashion show of "Fashions of the Orient." This show was coor­ dinated by Helen Park and presented by the International Club at CWU in the SUB pit. The music was put on by Robin which helped set the oriental at­ mosphere. Part one of the show included current fashions of oriental design. All of these fashions were owned by the models themselves. The models were Mi Moore, Phoebe Melvin, Teruyo Kubota, Takako Takeuchi, Yoshiko Kadowaki, Yasuko Okamoto, Chisato Park, Helen Park, Miho Salcata, Fu- jiyo Shibata, Chika Mammyqjo, Janette Tsuji, Miho Kanemura, Mrs. Maeda, and Akiko Hori. The escorts were Hideki Tamura, Yau Leang, Ryuji Narita, Akihiro Sasai, and At- sushi Koyama. According to Park, "What would be formal wear in America is appropriate on a date in the Orient." The neutral od­ ors of dark blue, black, white, and grey are the primary focus of the fashions with a splash of bright color such as red, green, or coral for added emphasis. During the intermission there was a Kimono tying demonstra­ tion done by Mrs. Monroe with the help of model Teruyo Kubota. The demonstration showed what style would be worn for a young woman who has never been married. The second demonstration during intermission was to show the audience the two major bows that women do Korea. The first is a small bow which is done on special occasions out of respect for adults. The second bow is the grand bow. It is done only three times in a woman's life. Part two consisted of model­ ing traditional outfits. The Japanese women wear special socks and slippers with their outfits. All of the costumes were elaborate and colorful. The four countries that participated have their own different style when it comes to traditional fashions.
Thursday, June 2,1988 The Observer — Page 9 Rock climbing offers spectator mystique By DAVID SCHULZE Staff Writer Few sports induce more fear and mystique in its spectators than rock climbing. To most, the thought of scal­ ing even a 20-foot vertical cliff with nothing but a rope between them and the ground is gut-wrenching. To most climbers the fear becomes practically non-existing. It is replaced at first by a powerful determination to climb. That in turn, is replaced by con­ centration so intense there is no time to think about fear. That concentration, combined with physical challenge and ultimately, the feeling of achievement, is what lures climbers. Climbing has been described, more times than not, as a challenge that requires a perfect balance between mind and body—it demands the best, both physically and mentally. The sport of rock climbing owes its existence to early alpine mountaineers, who would practice close to home what they knew they would encounter on the expedition—large vertical rock faces. Having sound technical skills, they theorized, would make difficult climbs more feasible, and easier climbs less risky. Today, rock climbing, as a sport, stands totally alone. It has become in­ creasingly popular among youths, and it's not at all uncommon to see an aging senior dangling from an 11-millimeter rope. It has become equally safe. Today's high-tech climbing gear and proven techniques have made once frequent climbing accidents a thing of the past. In fact, a popular notion among climbing circles is that driving to the climb is more dangerous than the climb itself. An especially safe form of climbing, csfe rose COFFEE: & TEAS SPECIALTY PRICE ESPRESSO focoksitofe NEW &• USED 0 Check out our new shipment of prints (Great for decoratinq your dom^ Books traded at 20-40% face value. $ S unday 12-4p.m. 5 l: 962-2375 open 9:30-5:30 202 E. 4th -J called top-roping, is how most climbers are introduced to the sport. In top- roping the climber is belayed, a process where a partner pulls in or lets out slack in the rope as needed by the climber. Because most belayers use extreme cau­ tion with beginners, the rope has little slack. Therefore, a climber who falls generally just stretches the rope, and suffers no injuries. More advanced climbing is pursued after a beginner has demonstrated pro­ ficiency in climbing technique, knowledge of the equipment, and a desire for challenge. Lead climbing requires the most skill, and is the most dangerous aspect of the sport, it is also the most rewarding. Mike Eberle, an avid lead climber and president of CWU's adventure club, likened lead climbing to sex, ac­ tually, Eberle said, "It's better than the best of sex." Eberle, who has been climbing seriously for four years, said going to school at Central has helped give him a lot of exposure to climbing.' 'This valley is an incredible spot' for a climber to live," Eberle said, "There are some honed climbers here." Although there is no climbing hotspot in or around Ellensburg, except a few buildings which is illegal, there are climbs near Yakima, and more noteworthy, near Leavenworth. The Leavenworth area is very diverse. Everything from bouldering (climbing near the ground to eliminate ropes and other equipment) and easy top-roping, to difficult multipitch climbs are easily ac- cessable—sometimes from the road. Leavenworth is also very beautiful, and according to Eberle, "Has some of the best rock I've climbed." He's climbed some of the finest rock in North America, including Joshua Tree, Yosemite, Colorado, Wyoming and Canada, some of the country's most regarded climbing areas. A little closer to Ellensburg is the Yakima Painted Rocks area. It is located about five miles outside of Yakima on the way to White Pass. Painted Rock cliffs are small in height, but good for beginners. Several members of the adventure club have been using the Yakima rocks to develop and sharpen their climbing techniques. Eberle said the club plans to climb frequently during spring, starting with easier climbs because there are several beginners in the club. More rock climbers say the sport is very habit-forming. One day of fun and challange on the rock, in the long run, can create several years of dedicaton to the sport. Eberle said he was addicted right away. "The third time we went climb­ ing, I was lead climbing and hooked. The more exposure I got, the more hooked I became," said Eberle. Quite a feat, considering he doesn't like heights. "I'm afraid of heights, but when I'm on rock nothing else matters, even when I'm free soloing, or climbing alone with no rope," Eberle said. Although climbing involves a lot of technique, most first timers in reasonably good shape can find something to climb. And although in­ itially it may seem difficult, or at least awkward, most beginners adapt well enough to enjoy themselves. Of course, reaching the top of that first climb is quite a rush, a rush that never seems to fade, even after years of climbing. * Come Back to the Beach!!

Page iO — The Observer Thursday, June 2,1988 % Central alumni now major stockholder By RANDY BEEHLER Staff Writer So exactly what happens to alumni of Central? Do they pursue job oppor­ tunities in their field of study? Do they use the education gained at Central? Do they become successful? We obviously could not interview each Central graduate, but we were able to find one successful alumni working close by, Dennis Cummings of Berry's depart­ ment store. Cummings graduated from Central in 1971, and since then his life and career have developed quite nicely. Cumm­ ings majored in business administration at Central, and his career has utilized that education to the fullest. He is now the major stockholder of Berry's depart­ ment store and works out of his office in Ellensburg. It would be difficult to assign a title to Cummings' position. He describes his job as' 'doing everything from janitor on up." While some people might not en­ joy having that much responsibility, Cummings thinks the variety of his duties is one of the best parts of his job. "I really like putting on all these dif­ ferent hats," Cummings said, "It's one aspect that makes my job challenging." It's no accident Cummings ended up in retail business. His father owned a number of small businesses in Bell- ingham. As a result, Cummings always liked the idea of being in business for himself. Cummings was born and raised in Bellingham, and after a tour of duty with the Marine Corps in Vietnam, he returned home to complete two years of college at Skagit Valley College in Mount Vernon. However, after living his entire life on the "wet" side of the mountains, Cummings decided to finish college in a drier climate. Ellensburg seemed like a good choice. While at Central, Cummings worked full-time at the local J.C. Penney store. He also received individual study credits for his involvement in purchas­ ing and marketing at Penney's. Just three weeks before graduation, Cumm­ ings was offered a department manager's position at the Penney's store in Walla Walla. After discussing discussing it with his wife Linda, Cum­ mings decided to make the move. The couple did not stay away from Ellensburg for long. After two years in Walla Walla, and experiencing some managerial differences, Cummings got an offer he simply could not refuse. ' 'Don Berry called me up and asked if I wanted to work with him and become part of his business," recalled Cumm­ ings, "I said yes." Cummings bought into sthe store within the first four months he worked with Berry. The two have been partners ever since. Along with the store in Ellensburg, the partners have also operated outlets in Moses Lake and Surinyside. Cummings feels his willingness to be aggressive and continually push the competition has helped Berry's to be profitable.

The event was sug­ gested by Minority Academic Advisor Earl Martin and organized by Cenfral public relations major Robert Harris. Harris who got involved in planning the banquet because he wanted to see an annual event honoring graduating minority students said, "I don't think other minority students know how many other minority students are graduating with a four-year degree and this recognition will give them more in­ centive to want to graduate themselves and go on to better their lives " The Black Student Union, MEChA, The International Club, and The Native American Council worked together sponsoring the event in what Harris said is representee of a growing in- Get BACK Into The Swing Of Things!

Individual graduating seniors were acknowledged at the banquet by representatives from their respective organizations. Dinner, prepared by the Holmes Din­ ing Hall staff and served to more than 50 guests to the accompaniment of keyboard music played by Reuel Lubag, was followed by several guest speakers. School Officer of the Yakima Native American Council, Arlen Washines, spoke on the advantages of being a minority student graduating with a four year degree He said, "There is no one the same as you you're all diffident," as he stressed the importance of in­ dividuality in achieving success. Earl Martin emphasized the dual pur­ pose of the banquet to both recognize graduating , minorities and give incen­ tive to others to finish their education saying, "It is good to have minority students here, but better to have them stay." Yvette Chappel, Employment Specialist for the Yakima Valley Oc­ cupational Industrial Center told how the Ellensburg office helps students find employment. Although the Center serves people primarily from 14 to 21 years old, die said she would advise and help any student or graduate seeking employment. She followed her presen­ tation by singing a duet with .BSU member, Mark Miller. Harris said the night went well and expressed his hope that it is but the first in what will become an annual event. He said, "It's the first one and the pur­ pose of the whole thing 'isto start a tradi­ tion that Will just get better and better for years to come. I believe that it will be an annual affair from here on out."

Job search made easier By RENEE RICKETTS Staff Writer Finding-a job is never easy, but Cen­ tral's Career Planning and Placement Center can make the search easier and more productive, both before and after graduation. Tammy Johnson, a senior at Central, found this to be especially true. Johnson has double*majored in retail management and fashion merchandis­ ing, and expects to graduate this springs She is currently interviewing with firms recruiting through the placement center, but her involvement began much earlier. Last year, Johnson inter­ viewed for an internship with Lament's through the placement center, and now finds the hands-on experience she gain­ ed invaluable. The first step in establishing a file at the placement center involves filling out forms describing major courses, job ex­ perience, and grade point average.

Of course, it is recommended that you visit the center before then, and most feel, even before your senior year. Your file reflects your work and involvement throughout college, and should be started as soon as possible.

Page 12 — The Observer Thursday, June 2,1988 Stranded runners cause death By ROY ELIA Staff Writer Despite a 1-2 record in their first NAIA World Series since 1970, CWU baseball fans can be proud of their Wildcats, who showed you need not be ranked to be competitive in the annual tournament. "It was a great year. I'm proud of our kids," Central Coach Ken Wilson said. He guided the 'Cats to both the NAIA District I and Area I Championships in this, his second, year as CWU skip­ per. Central's biggest hangup was 30 runners left on base. They stranded 11 in a shocking 8-7 win against Dallas Baptist, 10 in a 10-4 defeat at the hands of Grand Canyon, and nine against Georgetown, Ky., who put the brakes on CWU's campaign 5-4. "We had opportunities time and time again, and just didn't get it done," Wilson added after the one-run setback Tuesday. Marc Greeley and Joe Dawson finished their final season in Wildcat uniforms tied for the career RBI lead with 110, and Central concluded its season with a 29-22 record. CWU vs. Dallas Baptist A one-out, two-run single by Ron Kostick was the decisive blow in a five-run eighth inning as the Wildcats upset third- ranked Dallas Babtist 8-7. "We came over here to prove something. I don't care about rankings," Central Coach Ken Wilson said, referring to the In­ dians' lofty standing in the final NAIA poll. "When you're clim­ bing the ladder, you'll always work hard." Catcher Greg Dixon paced a Wildcat offense that battered three Dallas Baptist pitchers for 13 hits. His 4-5 showing gave him 18 hits in his last 30 at bats. "He has more confidence," Wilson said of Dixon, "He's looking forward to his at bat op­ portunities now, because he knows he can hit anybody." Wilson also praised second baseman Brian Baddley, who collected three hits, including an RBI double in the fifth that broke a 1-1 tie and gave Central a lead they would never relin­ quish. "He was all pumped up," Wilson said, "He just needed to relax and let it happen." While he was pleased with ambushing the Indians, Wilson was not happy with the 11 run­ ners Central stranded on the base paths. "I fed fortunate," the Wildcat mentor explained, "We squandered opportunities in the second, third and fourth that could have put perspective on things." Pitcher Charlie Hatem went the first eight innings while im­ proving his record to 8-4. Don Doggett relieved Hatem in the ninth inning for his first save of the season. Joe Dawson and A.K. Kimple contributed two hits apiece to Central's onslaught. CWU vs. G. Canyon The Antelopes overcame an early 2-0 deficit with six runs in the top of the second inning on only three hits in a 10-4 conquest of the 'Cats. The nation's number-two ranked squad also benefitted from five walks in the frame and 10 for the game. Central starter and loser Carl Casperson, 8-5, lasted but one- and-a-third innings, surrender­ ing three hits, three walks and five earned runs. "He had to get it done, and didn't do it," a dejected Wilson said, "He's a better pitcher than that, but he has to prove it bet­ ween the lines." Andy Hoey relieved Casper­ son in the second inning and fared no better, issuing four walks and giving up two runs—one of which was earned in one-and-two thirds innings. On a more positive note, junior Kyle Smith, the third of three Central hurlers, went six innings allowing only three hits, one earned run, and fanning six. Grand Canyon starter Brett Merriman went all the way for his 11th win against one defeat. A Centred baserunner collides with Dallas Baptist's third baseman in the first game of the NAIA World Series, He scattered eight hits, walked five and struck out four. The Wildcats' four runs off the junior righthander were all unearned. Offensively, Greeley led CWU with two hits and three RBI, Including a two-out, two- run single in the ninth. Baddley and Kostick likewise collected two hits each. CWU vs. Georgetown RBI doubles by Troy Kuhl and Ty Fannin of Georgetown highlighted a two-run rally in the bottom of the seventh inn­ ing, as the Tigers ended the Wildcat's season in heartbreak* ing fashion, 54. The game looked to be going the right way early on for the 'Cats when they jumped to a 34) lead with tWb runs in the seooftSi off a run-scoring double by Rick Anderson and a sacrifice fly by A.K. Kimple. They went on to add another in the third from a Joe Dawson sacrifice fly. The Tigers came back to even the score in the fourth inning as they scored three off Central starter Don Doggett, 2-5, who absorbed th£ tough loss. CWU regained the advantage at 4-3 in the sixth without the benefit of even a single hit. Chris Johnson walked with one out, stole both second and third bases and came in to score with thehelpofAnderson's sacrifice fly, setting the stagefor Kuhl's and Fannin's heroics. At the conclusion 6f the game, Coach Wilson gave his underclassmen something to think about. "I hope it gave you a feel of what it's all about," he said to his disappointed group of players, "You'll have to get hungry enough to do it." plumber eight in the nation! Track does CWU proud By MIKE BUSH Staff Writer Hiey proved to be the best at districts. They were the best at regionals. Now the CWU men's track and'field team have proved to be outstanding at the national level, too. Six Wildcat men not only did themselves, but their school proud as they improved on last year* s national per­ formance of eleventh place by jumping to the number eight spot last weekend. The host school, Azusa Pacific, claimed first in the nation, but CWU still showed they were a force to be reckoned with. Not surprisingly, Olympic Trials-bound racewalking sensation David Cummings showed himself to be the Wildcats' most dominating athlete. Coming across the line with a strong second place, he provided valuable points to help the team's cause and strengthened his grip on a possi­ ble Olympic berth and trip to Seoul. Our other racewalker also brought home some of the laurels. Dominic Urbano strode across with only six other walkers ahead of him. The strongest runner to represent the district cham­ pions came in the 1500-meter run, when Mike Pace dash­ ed across the line to claim an amazing second place, refuting any thoughts of weakness in CWU's distance events. In the field events, the Wildcat men were no less im­ pressive. Three more performers jumped and threw their way to national respect. Brian McElroy, the team's outstanding sprinter anH leaper, hopped, stepped and jumped his way to an in­ credible 48'11" in the triple jump. He came home with a number six national ranking. In the throwing events, Bill Walker hefted the shot put 53 feet to take sixth, and Scott Bickar, who credits weight coach Keith Kellogg with much of his success, followed with a ninih place toss. Ending *he season with such a strong showing adds an element of respect to Central's track program at a national level. Such a great showing from not just these tracksters, but the entire team, promises nothing less than a fantastic 1989 season.
Thursday, June 2,1988 The Observer — Page 13 Other Brothers, PTers champs By KIRK LUNDQUIST Staff Writer It's over. A new men's and co-ed champion have been crowned. PTer's narrowly defeated The Mint Tavern for the co-ed championship, and the Other Brothers slipped by the C Street Gob­ blers to take home the coveted In­ tramural champions t-shirt. Hie week-long championship tourna­ ment rrtatched up the best intramural Softball teams. There were blowouts and close games, and previously suc­ cessful teams found they did hot fare well this time. In the co-ed, five-round tournament, there were not many surprises. Two teams that did well all year, The Mint and Shoes Unlimited both made it to the fourth round. The surprise of the men's four-round tournament was that Frazzini's and Shoes Unlimited—two of the better teams—did not make it past the second round, and Han's Gym did. co-ed. In the co-ed championship, PTer's scored enough runs in the first inning to beat the Mint Tavern 5-4. PTer's were quite productive in the bottom of the first inning, starting out with Mike Smith's double. Tim Brown's two-run double was upstaged only by a two-run triple by Dave Biwer. Other base hits came from Bryan Gerig, Rachelle Arthur and Kristelle Arthur. At the end of the first inning the team led 5-0. No more runs were scored until the top of the fourth inning, when The Mint took over. Paul Bidneger hit teammate Troy Micholaon home,. making the score 5-1. In the top of the fifth inning, Bob Brooks and Butch Songcuan hit singles. Brooks scored on a PTer's error, and Phil Johnson hit a two-run homerun, because, "I had to beat my roommate, Biwer," Johnson said. Although they had a promising com­ eback, The Mint could only muster up one more run in the game, and PTer's became the .1988 coed Softball cham­ pions. Gerig, PTer's team manager, said of thewin, "Even though we had men- mo Presented by CWU Dining Services Cream or Sugar? Are you trying to reduce your serum cholesterol level? You may think you are doing the right thing by using nondairy creamer in your coffee instead of cream. To the contrary, nondairy creamers may contain coconut and palm kernel oil which are more saturated than the fat found in cream. The more saturated the fat, the more it works to raise blood cholesterol, thus increasing the risk of heart disease. If you still would like to lighten your coffee, some alternatives to nondairy creamers are nonfat dry milk powder or low- fat evaporated milk. These are healthier choices because they contain a minimal amount of fat and cholesterol. If you do not find these to your liking, still other options include low-fat or skim milk, which still contain less fat than nondairy creamers. tal mistakes, we pulled together: as a team." Runner-up team The Mint felt satisfied with their season. Team Manager Brooks said, "We are peaking at the right time," and Johnson added jokingly, "Our minorities are hitting well." The Mint almost had to forfeit one game in the tournament becuase a member hkd played on another team eatfier this year. Brooks and the other team's manager worked out the dif­ ference, and The Mint gave up the teammate for the duration of the tour­ nament. According to Gerig, PTer's team members are, "mostly CWU guy and girls basketball players." All of the men on the team play for the Other Brothers—this year's men's champions. Getting to the final game, PTer's beat Runs-R-Us 8-4, nipped Billy and the Bo- ingers 6-4, and crushed Pancho Villa 19-2 in the last round before the cham­ pionship game. men's Scoring in the men's championship game went like the weather—it started out warm, and ended cloudy and cold. In the end, the Other Brothers outscored the C Street Gobblers 8-5. Mike Smith's solo home run started out the Other Brothers' scoring in the bottom 6f the second inning. "I hit it on the sweet part of the bat," Smith said. In the bottom of the third inning, the Other Brothers had quite a few runs. With a man on base, Smith hit another homer, adding two runs to the tally. Three more men crossed the plate, and the inning ended with a 6-0 Other Brothers' lead. C Street Gobblers had their first run in the top of the fourth. It was scored by a series of base hits by Rod Wilson, Mick Parish and Greg Kingle, which eventually pushed someone home. Now the team trailed 6-1. The Other Brothers scored a couple of runs in the sixth inning. They led 8-1 go­ ing into the seventh and last inning. C Street tried to come back with a series of hits-and-run, but they came up three runs short of tying the Other Brothers. This was C Street's first loss of the year. Team member Kirk Ehlis said, "We soaked them up when we had to." The statement did not come true for them in the championship game. The Other Brothers played a great tournament. They beat MVP 10-1, Slam Doggers 13-4 and slipped by Han's Gym 10-9. According to team manager Tim Brown, "We came motivated to­ day becuase they (C Street) were the on­ ly team to beat us so far this year." Smith, hitting hero of the game, received t-shirts for winning both the men's and co-ed championship. "I wanted a new wardrobe," he said. Focus on school, not on golf By ROY ELIA Staff Writer It has been four weeks since CWU claimed its second successive NAIA District I golf championship. So the question on the minds of Wildcat supporters heading into the NAIA National Tournament in Mon­ tgomery, Alabama June 7-10 is this: What is Central doing to prepare for the long trek south? The answer is riot golf-related. Cat­ ching up on classroom activity is the foremost subject on their minds right now. "They missed a lot of class days," Wildcat coach Frank Crimp said.' 'I told them to catch up on school work. I don't want them worrying about finals going to nationals." Crimp noted the players: national tournament veterans Tom Mueller, Scotland Thede and Mark Shaffer, and first-tinfe performers Perry Hallmeyer and Dan Williams, have written "swing thoughts" down on paper in hopes of improving their games. Whether it's on the course or the driving range, the pur­ pose of die exercise is for linksters to understand "what you're doing and why," according to Crimp. TCie Central coach agreed the 1988 rampaign took the 'Cats on a roller- coaster ride. "We started off rather poorly," Crimp explained. "Our play was not good for the first three or four tour­ naments. We finally put it together at the Rippling River tournament (hosted by Portland State). I could tell we were on the uptrack in the next two tour­ naments." The Wildcats finished se­ cond at Puget Sound and third at Western Washington. Though it has been nearly a month, Crimp still has fond reflections of districts. "The guys really raised their games to another level," Crimp said, "They didn't back into the championship. They showed (the field) who the test team was. The guys displayed mental toughness." Despite the fact that Central won only two tournaments, compared with four won by the 1987 squad ending up 11th at nationals, Crimp said he was "not displeased with our showing throughout the season." Was Central's '87 win a fluke? Crimp doesn't think so, though he admits it "certainly came as a shock to Western Washington." "We wanted to defend the title badly," Crimp said, "There was a togetherness on this team which we may not have had last year. Scot got everybody together. I thought we'd make a good showing." Looking to nationals, Crimp sees three-time defending national cham­ pion Huntingdon College of Alabama as the favorite. "They're awesome," Crimp said of the host side,' 'They lost a lot to graduation, but there is plenty of depth within the team." Crimp said other contenders will be Gilford, Elon and Gardner-Webb of North Carolina, two Florida teams—Boca Raton and North Florida, Texas Wesleyan and Texas Lutheran. Last year, Central was seventh after two rounds before falling out of the top ten. "If we get the kind of play that we had in districts, we can get into the top 10," Crimp believes, saying southern schools "filled the top ten last year." Three of Central's five competitors take sub-80 scoring averages to Wynlakes Golf & Country dub, which is " 'ranked as one of the top courses in Alabama," Crimp pointed out. Mueller's 75.5 average score leads CWU, followed by Thede's 75.9 and Hallmeyer's 79.2. Shaffer is averaging 80.6 strokes per round, and Williams is shooting 84.2 every 18 holes. CHIROPRACTOR DR.

Page 14 — The Observer Thursday, June 2,1988 Champions earn By CRAIG It PLAYSTEAD Staff Writer The 1988 Night of Champions was a big success with former members of the CWU student body being elected into the Hall of Fame and present students being honored for their athletic achievments. Former CWU and Major League baseball player Dave Heaverlo was the master of cerimonies giving the ban­ quet a touch of humor and class while the awards were being presented to the athletes. The John M. Kern award for the Most Valuable Football player was won by Jimmie Dillingham, the Wildcats leading rusher this year. Dillingham also holds the CWU dl-time record for career rushing yards. He was also the kick returner for the Wildcats suc­ cessful football team. The Most Valuable CWU Male Athlete award was shared by two athletes for the first time in the history of the award. Out of 400 votes compiled by the Daily Record, there was a dead tie for first place between Jeff Hillis and Carl Aaron. Hillis, an Ail-American swimmer, swept the national titles in the 100 and 200 yard breaststroke for the third straight year. He was also a five-event Ail-American, earning honors in the 400 medley and 400 and 800 freestyle relays. The other winner was basketball star Carl Aaron who led the Wildcats in scoring with a 21.6 scor­ ing average, 7.8 rebounds per game and a 77.5 percent free throw percentage. He also scored 30 or more points in a game, a school record six times.

The Most Valuable Female Athlete was won by Kim Burke who plated fifth in the NAIA National Cross Coun­ try meet to win All-America honors. In indoor track, she won the three mile na­ tional title in a meet and stadium record time of 16:31.99, and placed fifth in the two-mile in a time of 10:50.05. Burke also won the Outstanding Student Athlete Award, sporting a 3.78 grade point average. The last two years most valuable femal athlete was swimmer Sharon Wilson who was nominated again this year . The baseball team was honored as Outstanding Male Team of the year as they had a fantasticly successful season, winning the district and regional titles, and paving their way to the NAIA Divi­ sion I World Series in Lewiston, Idaho. Last year's award was taken by the basketball team who finished third at the NAIA National Tournament in Kan­ sas City, Kan. Awarded the Outstanding Female 'team of the Year was the basketball team, who won their first ever District title and finished with a 31-5 record, the best mark posted by any team in school history. They lost in the first round of the national tournament. Women's head basketball coach Gary Frederick was named Kittitas Valley Dave Heaverlo, master of ceremonies, congratulates head baseball coach, Ken Wilson, on his team's winning the Outstanding Male Team award. the Year The trainer of the year was awarded to senior Dave Beemer, the man. often regarded as the backbone of Central's training facility. Beemer has given his effort and talent to the athletes who are in need of them for each of his past four years here at Central. By TAMISCHRANK Staff Writer Five former Wildcats were inducted into CWU's Athletic Hall of Fame last week for their performance during the 1960s. Their induction capped an evening filled with sports greats at the sixth an­ nual CWU-Kittitas County Night of Champions. The banquet and awards ceremony was held at the Best Western Ellensburg Inn on May 25. Bill Walker, inducted for his outstan­ ding achievements in baseball, said about this year's team making it to the NAIA World Series, "It's awesome, it is great, (they had) better not wait 18 years (before they go) again." Walker led the 'Cats to three straight NAIA District I titles, in addition, he led the team to the NAIA College World Series in 1968 and in 1970—the last time Central's baseball team attended the national event. During his career as a Wildcat, Walker set school career records for hits (121), doubles (32), triples (9), total bases (189), RBI (91), and putouts (727). Cur­ rent Wildcat shortstop Marc Greeley has broken the alumnus' records for hits, total bases and RBI this year. Gary Frederick, Walker's coach, in­ troduced him by saying, "(He) set the school records for doubles because he couldn't run fast enough to get triples." After graduating from CWU, Walker coached at Toledo High Sdiool, Toledo, Wash. He is now coaching and teaching at Connell High School in Connell, Wash., where he led the baseball team to the 1984 State A title. Recognized for his accomplishments in football was Kill Betcher. After transferring to CWU fitomtfte Universi­ ty of Oregon, Betcher earned Att- American honors as an offensive center and was a two-time all-conference player. Betcher graduated in 1963 with a Please see Fame page 15 HAPPY'S MARKET GOOD LUCK GRADUATING SENIORS Thank you for your patronage Hope to see the rest of you next year.

Thursday, June 2,1988 Fame The Observer — Page 15 Continued from page 14 degree in physical education. His first job was teaching and coaching at Castle Rock High School in Castle Rock, Wash. He stayed there for three years before returning to Central as an assis­ tant football and track coach for a year. The former football star's next stop was the University of Montana as assis­ tant football coach for 10 years. "When there was a staff change there," he said, "I just decided to get out of coaching—burnout.'' Dealing cards in Las Vegas until 1984, he took a job as assistant football cdach at Ephrata High School, Ephrata, Wash. Betcher was appointed head coach the following year and his team has one two consecutive Class A State football titles. Betcher wanted to return to teaching—dealing cards did not prove lucrative. He chose Ephrata because he could work with his former high school coach and he liked the idea of a school where students could play three sports if they chose to. Jeff Tinius earned his spot in the Athletic Hall of Fame for swimming. He was CWU's first national swimming champion, winning the 500-yard freestyle in 1964 with a time of 5:20.5. Because Tinius won his title the first day of the meet, he is technically our first national champion. Gerald Malella, however, won the 200-yard butterfly the same year. When in­ troducing Tinius, Malella said, "(It was an) inspiration to be able to swim with him." Tinius also won national titles in the 500-yard freestyle and 1650-yard freestyle in 1966. Graduating from Central with a degree in physical education, Tinius taught for three years in Grasham, Ore. He assisted with the swim program there. He is presently an artist, working with interior designers to decorate houses and other buildings. In addition, he has coached at the Lake Stevens Swim Club in Lake Stevens, Wash., for the last four years. Bill Kelly was honored for his basket­ ball play at CWU and his coaching achievements since leaving. Kelly transferred to Central after two years at the University of Puget Sound, which he attended on an academic scholarship. He played for Dean Nicholson at Puyallup High School in Puyallup, Wash., for three years, then played for him again during the 1964-65 season—Nicholson's first year at Cen­ f assi/leds.

After earning a master's degree and administrative credentials from Central, Kelly became head coach at East Valley High School in Yakima. He then joined the staff at Cashmere High School, Cashmere, Wash., winning 261 games in 13 seasons. Kelly took his team to 10 state tournaments, winning four State A titles (1975,1977,1980, and 1986). Kelly was named Coach-of-the-Year in each of the Bulldog's state champion­ ship seasons. He moved to Blaine, Wash., two years ago, taking the Borderites to the state tournament his first year. At the 30th anniversary of the tournament, he was named Coach of the All-Time State Class A Tournament Team. In com­ parison, he said, "The Hall of Fame is a lot more rewarding." Kelly is now an administrator at Blaine Middle School, but is not coaching. He said,' *1 needed to step out and take a good look." He did admit, however, "I'd like the challenge of coaching at the college level." Kelly liked Nicholson's no nonsense, real disciplined style of coaching, and he modeled his own technique after the Wildcat coach. In response to the rumor he might replace Nicholson as head coach at Cen­ tral, Kelly said, "It would be like a slap in the face of Dean to say I want to come here when he's just hitting his prime." The final inductee, Phil Fitterer, was honored for his achievements in foot­ ball and basketball. Betcher said, "(He's) the finest football player to ever play here at Central." While at CWU, Fitterer earned all- conference honors as quarterback in 1961, 1962, and 1963 and as safety in 1961 and 1963. He ranks ninth in career passing with 1,737 yards and eighth in career total offense with 2,258 yards. , In 1963, he led the 'Cats to their most recent undefeated season with a 9-0 record and a ninth-place national rank­ ing. Fitterer served as a graduate assistant in both football and basketball follow­ ing his playing career. He said. "Con­ tributions from those two (Nicholson and Tom Perry, the football coach) were very long-lasting." Comparing school in the 60s to school now, Fitterer said there probably were not many who played with him that could make it now. The system is tougher—academically and athletically. Fitterer contributed the greater com- petiveness of sports today to specializa­ tion. Referring to the number of years Fit­ terer spent at CWU, Nicholson said, "(He's the) longest term student, but he was really only here three terms—Ken­ nedy, Johnson and Nixon." Fitterer graduated in 1971 with a general studies degree and began work­ ing for the Daily Racing Form, a Seattle- based paper devoted to the horse racing activities at Longacres. He was ap­ pointed office regional manager in 1985. a * 3 JUNE a t\ Cut, w, Off) 7. wviovvt S s Oft c U J V G 6 a G IW \l t c
Page 16 — The Observer Thursday, June 2,1988 SPORTS EDITORIAL Pay-as-you-go sports proposed By JILL ULNESS Staff Writer If you have ever played on a sports team, chances are you have wondered why the team does not have new uniforms, and why it seems the budget never has enough money for the team's needs. Well, it is the same problem at CWU as it is everywhere else. It is said' 'money is the root of all evil,'' but life in the sports world is easier with than without it. There are no easy solutions to CWU's sports program's money dilemma unless the ASCWU comes into a windfall, which it may in the early 21st cen­ tury. Every year the ASCWU has to pay $130,000 off the top of their budget towards the payment of SUB bonds. The student govern­ ment will continue payment until the bonds are paid off. Dean of Students Don Guy predicts the bonds will be paid off by the year 2005. The SUB was built by the stu­ dent government in office at the time. When it is paid off, there will be an extra $260,000 for other needs, since the budget is drawn up only once every two years. Another solution would be to target the alumni in a public rela­ tions campaign and encourage them to donate money to the sports program. This is a major source of income for the Universi­ ty of Washington, but CWU receives little money from their alumni, according to Athletic Director Gary Federick. This is not implying that if the alumni kicked in some green, Cen­ tral's sports program would look like the University of Washington's—but every little bit helps. What would happen if CWU's sports department did receive more money? The sports depart­ ment could afford more training supplies and equipment. Central would also be able to play more pre-season games, travel to states besides Oregon and wherever the national championships happen to be held that year. Through playing more and train­ ing with better equipment, athletes could be in better shape, and more would have the potential to qualify for nationals. If Central had scholarships, we could attract more athletes. Accor­ ding to Gary Frederick, the coaches and administration estimate a cost between $400,000 and $600,000 to distribute scholar- ' ships fairly. Who said life is fair? A few scholarships are better than none. With the present system, athletes needing money are sent to the financial aid office, where, if they qualify, they will receive the amount that fits their need. If some of the SUB bond money were allocated for athletic scholarships, CWU could attract more athletes with spectator drawing power, which in turn, would send more money into the sports program. The men's basketball and foot­ ball teams are able to generate $15,000 to help support the budget. If the other sports could charge admission to games, their additional revenues would help strengthen the athletic program. Comparing the revenues of sports and social activities, the social events bring in $97,100 and receive only $26,000 from the ASCWU budget. The sports department, on the other hand, generates only $15,000, but receives $172,710 from the ASCWU. It would seem logical to think that among 18 different sports, the department could generate more than $15,000 in admission revenues to help their short money problem. The $15,000 comes from men's basketball and foot­ ball—other sports do not charge admission. Women's basketball will begin charging next year, but their revenue potential has yet to proven. Sports are traditionally one of a university's biggest attractions, especially among alumni, who donate money to their alma mater. As suggested before, the sports department needs to find alter­ native forms of support other than the ASCWU allowance. Extra money should be earned—the sports department should be con­ sidered potentially profit making. Ideally speaking, the sports department should be able to cure their lack of funds with a little help from the alumni, and a substantial increase in paid student game at­ tendance. 411 No. Pine FourSeasons SPORTS CENTER 925-9134 Ti I I I I FINAL WEEKS OF QUITTING I BUSINESS (Plans are to reopen November Through February as a Winter Ski Shop) 1 /2 PRICE STOREWIDE (Off Retail) (Except A Few Select Items) Some Items Up to 80% Off Retail!!!
