D H Observer Thursday May 18,1989 Central Washington University Vol. 7 No. 26 Physics not facing extinction, provost says by VIRGINIA SCHNABEL Staff Writer Central Washington University Provost Robert Edington was sur­ prised to see the headline in the Observer two weeks ago declaring the physics department was facing extinction. "I was surprised to know I could do away with a department like that. There is no truth to it, there has been no discussion by anyone I know of to do away with any de­ partment," said Edington. Dean of the College of Letters, Arts and Science Robert H. Brown said that fears could have been precipitated by the fact that plan­ ning is taking place. "The physics department is con­ cerned as are many other depart­ ments. They are concerned about finances and staffing. Although they are rightfully concerned, my view is that they may be jumping the gun about the kind of worrying they are doing." "Physics is a fundamental part of the university curriculum, it is a basic component of many programs, it is inconceivable that it wouldn't be there," he said. Professor Robert Mitchell of the physics department said what the administration doesn't realize is that the department is basically gone now. "They should have planned ahead. They knew that phased retirements were coming up, and should have planned for it." Central, according to Mitchell, has the smallest physics department of any university of our size in the state. "It has never been a stated method of operation or goal that the core departments would stand," he said. "When the money was there, it was being spent elsewhere. It's a matter of priorities we all spend money where we want to", he added. President Donald Garrity said there is a another story behind the story. "Mitchell is referring to one of see Physics — page 2 • Annual 'Spring Fling' flung to new location by MIKE BUSH Editor Due to a 20-year-old law banning rock festival-type parties and ob­ jections from area residents, the Business and Economics Club has b en forced to move their annual "Spring Fling" to a new location. Originally planned for the area near Fairview and Carpenter roads on May 20, the event must now be moved outside county lines to the Wanapum Dam Public Utility Department park in Grant County. The club, which planned to use the money raised from the event to fund future scholarships, guest speakers and other club activities, requested last week that the Kittitas County commissioners send a letter to the Washington State Liquor Control Board saying the county had no objections to such a gather­ pm wkf ... Jk wm wm mKm itlistsii mmfmp/mmiti MB® - ing. The commissioners, however, said they wished to talk to the sheriffs office and area residents before granting such action. "I would not vote for it without the blessings of the sheriff and the residents," said commissioner Ray Owens. Club officer Randy Huyck later found that commissioners Owens and John Perrie had talked to resi­ dents who were against the organization's party plans. In addition, county undersheriff Carl Christensen told Huyck that die sheriff s office wpjjld endorse no activity or event involving the consumption of alcohol, despite the fact that there were no problems with past B & E parties, and no problems were anticipated this year, either. Commissioner Perrie attributed the lack of problems to the remote location of the campground where the party had been held in the past two years. Regardless of the support of the county commissioners, the event also was in violation of a county ordinance passed in 1969 against gatherings where over 1,000people attend. Due to the success of past B & E functions, Huyck said well over 1,000 were expected. The law, like many others in the nation, stemmed from the Woodstock rock festival, held in New York in 1969. The law requires the event spon­ sors to apply for a permit 30 days prior to the event, to provide drink­ ing water and toilet facilities as approved by the county health de­ partment, fire protection approved by the fire marshall and traffic and crowd control approved by the sheriffs department. In addition, the ordinance requires that the club put forth $7,500 — $2,500 for a permit and $5,000 for a damage deposit against the de­ struction of such property as roads, bridges and street signs. "It's physically impossible to meet the requirements of the ordi­ nance this quarter," Perrie told Huyck. Although Grant County is allow­ ing the gathering to take place, there will be no refreshments sold and party-goers are being asked to bring their own. Donations will be ac­ cepted to cover entertainment costs.

Page 2 — The Observer Thursday May 18,1989 Physics: salary cash growing scarce Minorities gather to continued from page 1 problems we have at the univer­ sity," he said. "It portrays what occurs when you get a lack of congruency about things which are equally valuable. The physics department is small and any change has rather impor­ tant consequences." He explained that one professor in the department is taking early- phased retirement. The fundamental assumption of this program was that it would ac­ complish two things: allow a per­ son to gradually move into full re­ tirement without severe economic hardship, and to continue to be able to make a contribution to the de­ partment. It was assumed the difference in pay between the full-time position and the phased position would be enough to hire an entry-level pro­ fessor to replace the retiring profes­ sor. What has happened is that Central's salary schedule is behind universities in many other states by about 35 percent. As the market escalates, the salary schedule gets further behind. Competition from other colleges and business versus the actual sup­ ply of Ph.D.s being turned out has created a squeeze on that supply. Mitchell said many of the larger universities realize they will need a lot of professors in the future and that they will be hard to get, so they are hiring them now and keeping them in reserve. "The physics department has found the money they have is not enough to hire a new person," said Garrity. "At the time the department dis­ cussed this and made plans, the provost was not in a position to do anything about it." "There was no free money. We have been over enrolled for the past two years and every dime is com­ mitted." "The provost did not know what the budget would be and the only thing that was decided about the department was that the provost couldn't augment money to hire new instructors," said Garrity. Garrity expressed this is a prob­ lem that may have to be faced in a number of departments as more professors retire. "You talk about the "catch 22" there are not enough people going into education, and not many of those going on to Ph.D.s," he said. "They figure why should I get a doctorate which might take another four to six years, and will cost money, time and abuse when I can make more in the private sector right now, without all that grief." He added it is money and what has happened to the teaching pro­ fession that is causing this trend. There has been a loss of social value to the profession, and it is less pres­ tigious, less important than it used to be. He said what hasn't changed so much is what brought a lot of people into the profession in the first place, and that is the lifestyle and commu­ nity which surrounds a university. honor graduates by LISA M. NORD Staff Writer Daily Record awards scholarships to local high school journalists by LORETTA MCLAUGHLIN Staff Writer The 1989-90 Daily Record schol­ arship recipients are Tracie Brantley, 18, of Ellensburg High School and Marlene Jacques, 18, of Wapato Senior High School. They will each receive $750 from the Ellensburg newspaper. Brantley is a varsity athlete, the editor of the Ellensburg High School newspaper, and vice-president of the senior class. She has a 3.67 grade point average and has been named Booster club Student of the Month at least once every year. She hasn't yet decided if she will major in public relations or print journalism at Central. "I want to finish my education in four years," said Brantley, "and I'd like to be on the Observer staff, that's my goal." Brantley has lived in Ellensburg all her life and she chose Central because she was already familiar with the area. After graduating from here, she wants to write for a newspaper or magazine. "I'll wait and see where that will lead to," she said. Jacques is also a varsity athlete, editor of the Wapato Senior High School newspaper and is president of the MESA (Math, Engineering and Science Achievement) Club. She was on fall's Homecoming Court and is currently on varsity track. Jacques has already decided on print journalism as her major here at Central.

Parents and friends of students are also welcome, and the event is not just for minorities. "Everyone's invited to this," said the Black Student Union Secretary, Linda Evans, a freshman. The minority clubs that are par­ ticipating, are the Aloha Club, Black Student Union (BSU), the International Club, Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlan (MEChA), Minority Student Asso­ ciation (MSA) and the Native American Council. Another student involved in the organization of the celebration is Robert Harris, a senior and member of BSU. Robin MacAlpine, admissions counselor and minority recruiter, and Earl Martin, minority academic adviser, are also helping coordi­ nate the dinner. "But," said MacAlpine, "the stu­ dents are doing all the work." To honor the graduating students, there will be a guest speaker whose name will not be disclosed until further notice. According to Harris it will most likely be a key figure from Washington State. Each student participating will receive a certificate honoring them for graduating from Central. "It's kind of a commemmorative rememberance of what happened that night," says Harris, "and a chance for each student to thank the people who helped them get where they are right now. It could be their parents or a teacher." The dinner will be served in the Sue Lombard Room of Tunstall Commons and dress will be semi- formal. Tickets can be picked up at the SUB information booth until May 26. Invitations will be sent to students enrolled at Central containing all the information.

The only colleges Jacques thought about going to were Central and Yakima Valley Community Col­ lege (YVC). She didn't want to go too far from home. "I chose Central because YVC didn't have the English and com­ munication classes that I wanted," she said. The Daily Record awards two scholarships each year to Washing­ ton state high school seniors who are planning to study print journal­ ism at Central. One of the scholarships is in­ tended for a student going to school in Kittitas County and the other is for a minority student at any high school in the state.

Thursday May 18,1989 The Observer — Page 3 § m by DAINA MURRAY Staff Writer A Central mathematics professor has recently developed a formula that revolutionalizes the study of sudden changes in the stability of a system—known as the Catastrophe Theory. Dr. Alia Ditta Raza Choudary's work With the Singularity Theory-— the key to the Catastrophe The­ ory—is considered to be the most important work in this field in the last 20 years, according to Dr. Fred Cutlip, mathematics department chair. Choudary has developed an equa­ tion that will predict the number of places catastrophic behavior may occur, as well as when and where they may occur. The Catastrophe Theory helps explain the behavior of Unpredict­ able functions, he said. Traditional mathematical functions will predict behavior when it occurs in an ex­ pected way, he said, but When things happen in an unexpected way, "the ordinary tools of calculus don't work." "The Singularity Theory works where Newton's (the father of cal­ culus) fails," he said. "TTiere are a lot of applications in areas where people have to deal with certain changes in stability, from government and economics to optics, from heartbeats to embryol­ ogy," he said. For instance, the Catastrophe Theory has been applied to design structurally-stable ships that with­ stand strong waves in an unexpected storm (a "catastrophe"). According to Choudary, the the­ ory covers any system, big or small. It can be used to predict instability in something as small as an embryo or as large as a civilization. In each, crisis, or "sudden jumps" occur at "catastrophic points", which can either break doWn (as in a society) or build (as in an embryo) the struc­ ture. In an embryo, Choudary said, change is not occurring gradually, rather it develops with sudden changes between the cells. So when an embryo grows a lung or finger­ nails, it grows in spurts, rather than developing at a constant rate. "You can even build a model to predict what will happen (in the embryo) when," he said. The formula to predict how many "catastrophic points" are in a sys­ tem is actually very simple: 20xD[D- 2]3. The "D" stands for dimension of the space, Choudary said. Di­ mension doesn't necessarily mean size, he said, it refers to the number of factors involved. An embryo, for instance, has a heart, lungs, brain, limbs and other body parts. Each of these factors make up the dimension of an em­ bryo. "A thing like an embryo can have more dimensions than the surface of an ocean," he said. The theory is important, he said, because,"If you have a stable sys­ tem, you can predict when it will break or become unstable." It also allows scientists to predict when stability will be regained. Choudary's work is attracting attention worldwide, especially in the United States and Europe, ac­ cording to Cutlip. The results of Choudary's re­ search will be presented this sum­ mer in Bonn, West Germany, at the Max Planck Institute of Mathemat­ ics by his collaborator, Professor Alexandra Dimca, a Romanian scholar. The Pacific Journal of Mathematics will publish his re­ sults later this year.

Communications major wins scholarship i i i i i i I i i i I i i i j by LISA M. NORD Staff Writer Daina Murray, 20, a Central junior, won a $1,000scholarship through the Seattle Post-Intelli- gencer. The Bobby McCallum Schol­ arship is presented annually to university students across Wash­ ington. The award is received from a private fund as a memo­ rial to the late P.I. reporter Bobby McCallum. Applications are of­ fered to female students plan­ ning a career in journalism. "A lot of the scholarship has to do with your motivation to pur­ sue a journalism career," Mur­ ray said. Murray received a call from P.I. columnist Maribeth Morris who informed Murray she was one of the top four finalists. Murray went to the P.I. office on the Seattle water­ front for her interview. Morris and four of her colleagues conducted the interview. "They grilled me about every­ thing," Murray said,"They even asked me what my favorite books are." "I had a gut feeling about this one," Murray said of winning the scholarship," it came true." Murray is a staff writer for The Observer and a women's varsity soccer player at Central. She plans to finish her major in print journal­ ism and public relations by spring of next year. Many students have been wondering why the Ganges has been so high the past few weeks. The Ganges is an irrigation canal feeding Kittitas Valley. Larry Brown of the Ellensburg Water Deparment explained that a new dam nearCle Elum has allowed more water than normal to run through to the lower valley. Previously the water ran through only three headgates. Now there are five, allowing for a greater flow of water, raising the level of the Ganges higher than usual this year.

The Observer — Page 4 Thursday May 18, 1989 Army awards four two-year ROTC scholarships by JENNY MATHEWS News Editor The Army has awarded four two- year scholarships to Chris Chronis, 19, Vancouver,Wash, Charles Moore, 21, Bainbridge Island, John Holcomb, 22, Bainbridge Island, and Dana Reinhert, 23, Bellevue. The scholarships are merit-based and pay for tuition, books, fees and a $100 allowance each month. All four are sophomores. Chronis is majoring in law and justice and hopes to join the mili­ tary police. Moore is majoring in political science. He has prior Army service in the infantry and hopes to branch into it when he is commis­ sioned as a second lieutenant. Holcomb is majoring in political science and hopes to either branch into military intelligence or the medical service corps. He has also Jobs not just pleasant dream for Central's graduates by LORETTA MCLAUGHLIN Staff Writer Many Central seniors are going to graduate in June. They will rep­ resent at least 72 different majors and three academic schools accord­ ing to the registrar's office. What will they do after leaving the ivory towers of higher educa­ tion? According to survey results sent to last year's graduates by the Career Planning and Placement Center (CP&PC), more than half of them could be employed. Basing projections for employ­ ment on the 74 percent of seniors who responded to the survey, gradu­ ates of the School of Professional Studies are most likely to be em­ ployed. Almost 80 percent of last year's graduates got jobs by Octo­ ber. "They're hands-on people," said Wanda Robinson, CP&PC recruit­ ing coordinator. More than half of the graduates from the School of Business and Economics got jobs and half of graduates from the College of Let­ ters, Arts and Sciences, the largest school on campus, were employed. Graduates from the School of Professional Studies are also most likely to be employed in an area related to their major field of study here at Central. According to job description questions which were answered by 524 graduates, more than 85 percent of the Professional Studies' graduates were hired in jobs correlating to their major. For example, 12 of 16 graduates in fashion merchandising who an­ swered the survey were hired in a sales- or management-related job by retail stores like The Bon Marche. Graduates from the School of Business and Economics are also likely to be hired for a position re­ lated to their major. More than 80 percent of last year's graduates were. In fact, 71 out of the 78 accounting majors who responded found ac­ counting-related jobs according to the survey. In the College of Letters, Arts and Sciences, only 56 percent of graduates were hired in a job which related to their major field of study. want to quit drinking, join us! Open to students, Out of 40 law and justice majors re­ sponding to the survey, 23 were employed in a security- or law en­ forcement-related job. According to the survey, almost seven out of every 100 graduates will go back to school. Graduates from the College of Letters, Arts and Sciences were the most likely to continue their education, with 11 percent of respondents saying they were in school. Five percent of graduates from the School of Professional Studies went back to school and four percent of gradu­ ates from the School of Business and Economics did. More graduates from Profes­ sional Studies responded to the CP&PC survey, their response rate being 86 percent. The response rate for the College of Letters, Arts and Science was 69 percent and the School of Business and Economics was 67 percent. "We always have more people from Professional Studies answer our surveys," said Robert D. Malde, CP&PC assistant director. "They are also most likely to use our serv­ ices." Malde stressed that the response rates must be taken into considera­ tion when judging the survey re­ sults.

Thursday May 18,1989 D.A.P.P.E.R. diary Seat belts: To wear or not to wear, that is the question by KELLEYR. WOOD Contributing Writer You get into the car. You really don't have to be going anywhere in particular and you really don't want to put on that seat belt. The reasons are generally valid—it's too warm, it'll wrinkle your clothes, you just feel too restrained. The reasons for not wearing your seat belt coincide with the reasons for wearing it. Lying in a hospital bed can be warm when it's 80 de­ grees outside, blood-stained- clothes shredded by glass can't be repaired by an iron, and when put into traction a push of a button will not release you. With this in mind, I'm going to give you a chance to beat the odds of being seriously injured or killed by your car. What I'm not going to do is throw startling facts at you such as you have a one in three chance of being in a serious accident or that 35 thousand peopleayear are killed in auto accidents. However, I am going to tell you coroners put more people in body bags that weren't wearing a seat belt than were. In a car accident you are not killedby the car collision but rather the human collision. Seat belts prevent the human collision. In a 30 mile per hour crash, a car is crushed a couple of feet and comes to a stop only one tenth of a second after hitting the barrier. Slow motion film shows you keep moving at 30 miles per hour in the car's compartment and continue at this speed until you slam into the wheel, windshield or some other part of the car. This is the human collision. To help you visualize this I want you to imagine walking briskly headfirst into a steel post at three to four miles per hour. You'll probably survive but not without a headache. Then imagine running full speed, about 15 miles per hour, into a steel post Your injuries would be severe and you may not survive. Now imagine your head striking the post at 30 miles per hour. The force would be four times greater than that at 15 miles per hour and you would not survive. When you hit something hard like the windshield frame or door post, you come to a stop over a short distance—one to two inches. Because the hard surface gives way veiy little, you body must absorb most of the force of im­ pact. Gearshift levers have been known to penetrate the skull. At one time or another I'm sure that you've thought "I'll just hold onto the steering wheel and brace myself." Wrong. For one thing, the force is too great to withstand and for another thing if you have time to think then you' d probably have time to prevent the accident. Prevention is the key word here because all of this could be pre­ vented by wearing a seat belt. As mentioned earlier, you stop on a very short distance, more abruptly. A seat belt allows you to come to a more gradual stop by holding you in your seat and al­ lowing you to stop within the same distance as the car—obvi­ ously reducing the forces on your body and keeping you in your seat. Now you're probably thinking "but what if my car catches on fire or I crash into the water?" Number one, these are rare occa­ sions and number two, it is your seat belt that helps you remain conscious and able to get out of the car quickly. You cannot es­ cape from a burning or sinking car if you are lying on the floor with a fractured skull. Another idea is it is safer to be "thrown clear" during acollision. Thrown clear of what? Oncom­ ing traffic, when you're too in­ jured to get up and run? Tele­ phone poles or trees? Rough lac­ erating cement surfaces? Motor­ cyclists are thrown clear of their vehicle every time and we know their fatality rate. Just remember the difference between yourbelted stopping dis­ tance and your unbelted stopping distance— it is often the differnce between life and death. If that scares you—great—but I'm not persuading you to where your seat belt—I'm just giving you the facts. The Observer — Page 5 P.

"There is a university planning process going on and we expect, as a result of that process, to consoli­ date some academic programs and to strengthen others," said Central Provost Robert Edington. "However, it would be highly speculative at this time to name any specific academic programs which may be involved in either kind of change," he said. The planning process currently underway is aimed at establishing a five year academic plan tied in with the budget A group of faculty and adminis­ trators met at Camp Field in Leav­ enworth over the weekend of April 25 to start the process. "It was art open discussion for­ mat, controlledby a facilitator from outside of the university commu­ nity. He was there to keep it mov­ ing, but had nothing to do with die process," said Dean of the College of Letters, Arts and Science, Robert Brown. "The point of all of this is to prepare the university to deal with its future obligation to students. The markets, resources, basic education philosophies," and how we should meet these obligations, said Brown. The discussions were based on five major areas, the first being graduate and undergraduate pro­ grams, with no particular programs being discussed. "That will come later and will be done in an open manner, nothing secret about the process," said Ed­ ington. The second area was professional development of faculty. "There will be a lot of new fac­ ulty between now and 1990. We want to hire the right kind of faculty and want to help them develop professionally," he said. The third area was the academic budget. The planning committee will be concerned with whether or not it is put together properly, and how sources can be reallocated to strongly support programs that will be important for the future. The fourth area was the proper balance of enrollment for the fu­ ture, and the fifth area was the aca­ demic plan. "We want a rolling plan, revis­ ited every year, so at any point in time we have a five year plan," he said. "We will check to see if we are following it, and if we need to re­ vise it", he added. "Maintaining a balance between tradition and perpetuating the aca­ demic structure as opposed to emerging factors in society, makes this a very important and difficult task," said Brown. In the fall of 1989 the committee hopes to present university com­ munity with a statement of pro­ posed goals and objectives in areas of concern to the academic commu­ nity. "It will be discussed by students, faculty, anyone in the community who wants to take part in it," said Edington. The committee hopes the first draft of the plan will be ready by the end of fall quarter.

Page 6 — The Observer Thursday May 18,1989 Opinions Fetus abuser should be treated like animal MIKE BUSH Editor In case you haven't heard, it is not wise to drink a half of a fifth of Jim Beam whiskey while you're pregnant. This may seem to be com­ mon knowledge to you, but apparently one woman, a Mrs. Candance Thorp, hadn't heard this before and is suing the Jim Beam corporation for $4 million because they failed to put warning stickers on their bottles and as a result her child was born with birth defects. Really. The strange part of this whole situation, as if it wasn't already strange enough, is that right now, as of press time, the court system is taking this woman seriously and has al­ ready wasted three weeks trying to decide on the case. First of all, if anyone in the judicial system had any brains, they would have tossed this case out of court after one day for being frivolous and a waste of money and time. No won­ der the courts are so backed up. This woman should not only have her butt tossed out of court, she should have it tossed right into jail. Mrs. Thorp and her equally ignorant husband Harold contend that they didn't real­ ize that the massive consump­ tion of alcohol could harm their baby. They didn't even stop to wonder. Maybe they didn't think that firing a shot­ gun into her stomach would hurt the baby either. Maybe they weren't quite sure whether or not swallowing live grenades would harm their unborn child. Or maybe, just maybe, this couple is trying to abuse the American justice system by getting a huge monetary set­ tlement because they basically didn't give a damn what hap­ pened to their baby. Maybe there should be a label on alcohol bottles to warn of the dangers, but what person — if they had more than half a brain — would think that it could possibly be good for an unborn fetus to be drowned in whiskey? Every doctor in the world will tell you that you shouldn't be drinking heavily when you're pregnant, just as the Thorp family's doctor must have at one time or another told them. This is a family — if you could call it that—which has already been reported to Child Protective Services at least three times before and has given up their four-year-old daughter to Mrs. Thorp's sis­ ter. The courts need to do some­ thing about this couple, start­ ing with a nice healthy jail sentence. On what charges? How about child abuse? Or maybe contributing alcohol to a minor. Anything would do— just get this couple out of our society — they don't belong. We have enough animals running around the streets killing off each other without giving money to those who attempt to kill their own chil­ dren. Personally, I'm in favor of neutering both Candance and Harold Thorp. That's what would happen to real animals. Yeah, we're appreciated MIKE BUSH Editor On Monday, the Ellensburg City Council approved a reso­ lution which expresses the city's "appreciation to Cen­ tral Washington University for the integral part it plays as a member of our community." On Tuesday, the Kittitas County Board Of Commis­ sioners approved the same resolution, citing the fact that the college "attracts more highly qualified applicants each year than it can enroll." Also included in this reso­ lution, the council and board praised the university on 14 different points, which in­ cluded programs, faculty and students. But, in the midst of all this praise, the same groups de­ nied one of the university's most prestigious and active groups, the Business and Economics Club, the right to raise money for scholarships and club programs by saying "NO!" to the third annual "Spring Fling." I fully understand the rea­ sons behind this. The resi­ dents of this community don't want the noise, traffic and general drunkeness that they believe will accompany the festivities. I wonder what the leaders of this community were like when they were young. Obvi­ ously, they don't remember. College students live in a stressful environment. We're young. We like to party. And there's no way around it. We are going to have our parties with or without the blessings of the people who run this community. Maybe they should take another look at their resolu­ tion. Maybe they should think about what they Would be in charge of without the students. I'm not just talking about the incredibly bright students who they praise in their resolution, either. I'm talking about the average student who may not win the scholarships, may not bring in the grants, but pour thousands of dollars into this community every year. Re­ member, without the average students, there are no students, thus no Ellensburg. Now the students have been forced out of town — to take their party to Grant County, a county which appreciates the whims of youth. Too bad we students can't find the same appreciation in our adopted hometown. And their resolution says they "appreciate" us. It's nice to see how much. Letters Letters to the Editor B & E bash gets penalized for good behavior To the Editor: On the weekend of August 15-17,1969, a music festival occurred in Bethel, New York. The festival was called Wood­ stock. Also in that year, simi­ lar events took place in Prar- ieville, La., Lewisville, Texas and Tenino, Wash. Although most police ac­ counts of these events ap­ plauded the politeness and surprisingly good behavior of these crowds, many rural com­ munities were terrified that such events might take place in their areas. In response, they hurriedly passed "Woodstock Laws," ordinances strictly regulating large gatherings. Not surprisingly, the Board of Kittitas County Commis­ sioners adopted such a law on Nov. 17,1969. Kittitas County's law regu­ lates "rock, music, band and/ or youth festivals" which occur outdoors and have an expected attendance of 1000 or more and a "charge or con­ tribution is required for ad­ mission." This licensing pro­ cedure involves separate applications with the health department, fire marshall and sheriff. The cost of the permit is $2,500. In addition, the appli­ cant is required to post a $5,000 bond "as an indem­ nity to save and protect the streets, pavements, bridges, road signs and other property of the county from any and all damage that may be caused by vehicles, employees, or participants in such amuse­ ment..." Also present in this ordi­ nance is a prohibition of any possession or consumption of intoxicating liquor by anyone. anywhere on the premises. In addition to preventing Woodstock-style festivals, this ordinance effectively declares the "Business and Economics Club's "Spring Fling" illegal. In the past, the B&E Club has been licensed by the State Liquor Control Board and has conducted Spring Fling with­ out incident or complaint. This year, we don't have that op­ tion. Our success in the past has ensured that this year's Spring Fling would involve well over 1000 participants, thus subjecting us to the pro­ hibitive requirements of the 1969 "Woodstock" ordi­ nance. It is clearly impossible for B&E to come up with $7,500 in fees and bonds for Spring Fling, especially without the beer sales, which pay for the bands, sound system, light­ ing, sani-cans and other ex­ penses. Rediscovery of this law leaves B&E "holding the bag" with contractural obligations to two bands and a D.J., t- shirts, beer and equipment orders, and a 3/4 completed liquor license application. But 4 I guess we can all look to the bright side: twenty years ago, the Board of Commissioners saved us from our own im­ morality and lack of order with | this ordinance. Thanks guys...I think. signed, Randall Huyck
Thursday May 18,1989 The Observer — Page 7 * Forum Forum WADE. complaints that thoughts pre­ sented in editorials are "opin­ ionated" and subjects of humor columns are "irrelevant." The purpose of this movie, if considered along with the im­ ages given, may greatly impact Student responses: the value given to those images. If it is impossible for all infor­ mation to be presented objec­ tively by all forms of media at all times, then it is up to the public to be more observant and discriminatory of incoming in­ formation. Need an opinion? Turn on the TV by RENEE RICKETTS Managing Editor NBC-TV's Monday night * movie, "Roe vs. Wade," will probably bring the abortion le­ gality debate back to the top of the conversation charts — at least for a while. It will be interesting to see if the show contributed to its view­ ers' sympathy toward the pro- choice abortion issue. Basically, the show was about "Jane Roe" and the circum­ stances surrounding the U.S. Supreme Court case legalizing abortion, which has now re­ turned to the high court for re­ peal. According to the NBC pro­ duction, the Texas woman iden­ tified as Jane Roe became preg­ nant twice out of wedlock. She married her first child's father, but left him when he beat her. Forced to get a job but unable to sufficiently take care of her baby, Roe gave her mother custody of the child. Roe was severely criticized by her mother when she became pregnant a second time and her father only offered support within his religious limits. She decided that she could not af­ ford to raise the child and could not stand to give another baby away. Considering illegal abortion to be her only option, Roe vis­ ited such a place, but the un­ clean and crude utensils scared her away. Roe told adoctor she was raped so he would sympathize and allow an abortion, but he re­ ferred her to a lawyer. She asked the lawyer for help, but he said she needed a police record to prove it. Desperate for a solution, Roe was introduced to two inexperi­ enced women lawyers who wanted to change the abortion law in Texas, but needed a plain­ tiff willing to sue the state attor­ ney general, Henry Wade. Roe agreed to be an anonymous plaintiff. Consistent with what Roe called her incredibly bad luck, the case did not come to trial until she was into her second trimester of pregnancy. The Texas Supreme Court declared the state's anti-abor­ tion law to be unconstitutional, but did not allow the injunction to keep the state from prosecut­ ing abortion-practicing doctors. Without the injunction, Roe was forced to give birth to her second child, which was taken from her and put up for adop­ tion. She was not allowed to see it, hold it or know what sex it was. Later that afternoon, Roe tried to kill herself. Roe was not the only charac­ ter in this presentation with emotional scenes, however. Her lawyers' taste of victory was tainted by the bitterness of the Texas court's lack of commit­ ment to their decision. One took the injunction appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court, and the series of scenes showing the trial prepa­ ration process were wrought with drama and emotion. Her main arguments, con­ ceived with the support of her husband, lay along the lines that the state of Texas did not grant rights to any person not yet born — one father who crushed the skull of his unborn child was not convicted of murder—and that an unwanted pregnancy disrupts a woman's right to life, liberty and pursuit of happiness. The assistant to the Texas at­ torney general, who defended the state law in both high courts, was also portrayed as emotion­ ally involved with the issue of the unborn's guaranteed rights. His scenes, however, were shorter and less clear. He unsuccessfully argued that the case was no longer relevant because Roe was no longerpreg- nant. He also said the woman is given a choice — before con­ ception — and that once con­ ception takes place there is a new soul which must be pro­ tected by the state. In the end, of course, the U.S. Supreme Court justices ruled 7- 2 in favor of Roe. The Texas AG assistant was convinced that the decision was made before the arguments were heard. NBC's enactment ended as Roe read about the decision — made two years after the birth of the child in question — in the local paper. After confiding her role in the decision to a close friend, Roe was told that she "ought to be proud." "Roe vs. Wade" allowed its audience to experience the cir­ cumstances and feelings behind the abortion movement, as well as substantiation behind the legal decision. By illustrating Roe's situation, the movie appealed to the viewers' compassion and understanding. Casting the popular Holly Hunter, of "Broadcast News" fame, for the part of Roe also contributed to this appeal. The mentality, emotions and circumstances behind the anti- abortion movement were not represented as thoroughly, and representatives of that side were portrayed with a smaller amount of human qualities. The movie, "Roe vs. Wade," has timely implications — does that make it news? It portrays a historical happenings — does it qualify as a documentary? Facts were most likely embellished in the dramatization — does that constitute entertainment? A slant may be found in the presenta­ tion — should we call it a com­ mentary? Should this story have been reported objectively in "Roe vs. Wade"? What exactly is "objec­ tivity"? Is it truly possible? The average person does not consider and evaluate the me­ dium in which an idea is pre­ sented as much as he or she ponders the idea' itself. This is apparent in the regularity of "Generally, reporting is pretty unbiased. All I've been hearing reported are the demonstrations ... / don't think the media are trying to influence (opinion) either way. ("Roe vs. Wade) was skewed. It couldn't help but be that way—it was about Roe." — Tom Galbraith, senior "I think news in general has been slanted to the pro-choice side. I think it's a conscious choice, because they want to give the public what they want to hear, and the majority of the public is pro-choice." —Amy Wheeler, freshman "It seems that anything I've been interested in knowing has been reported... It probably is being reported fairly. There are two sides with very strong opinions which are represented equally." —Regan Plath, junior "People have their favorite newspaper I have mine— The Seattle Times.' I'm influenced by what I read in it. It affects me, because I see all these people pleading for their case ... I think the attention (the media) give cases like that strengthens my belief that people should be able to have options." —Marty Taft, senior "From what I've heard, (media coverage) has been fair. I thought it was an emotional movie from her side it was done well. It showed both sides from her point of view, but could have gone more into the court case." —Roxanne Wheeler, freshman "I think (the media) cover the issue fairly. They just describe each individual situation and gives the concerned parties' viewpoint and not their own." —Jon White, sophomore "Since we're a democracy, people tend to be pro-choice. I would agree that (media coverage) could be slanted." —Kathy Alkire, freshman board. Deliver letters to: Editor, Wa. 98926.

Thursday May 18,1989 The Observer — Page 9 Scene Shafer adds humor to Parents' Weekend by NOREEN ELBERT Staff Writer If laughter is good for the heart, over 800 people got a lot of exercise during Ross Shafer's comedy rou­ tine last weekend. Shafer was greeted with applause and yelled as he walked on stage in black pants, a black and white plaid shirt and black leather jacket after the opening act, the local band Z- Trane, performed. Shafer, a native of Washington, who first gained noteriety as the host of "Almost Live" and currently hosts "Days End," charmed a crowd of parents, students and other fans in the SUB Ballroom as part of the Parents' Weekend festivities. "Shafer has charisma with the crowd," said John Drinkwater, di­ Local comedian Ross Shafer goes through his routine for students and their parents during parents weekend. (Photos by Steve Douglas) rector of student activities. "He is not the type of comedian who uses one-liners — he has a dialog. He establishes a rapport with the audi­ ence and his show flows as though he is talking with friends." Shafer kept the audience laugh­ ing by moving in any direction the crowd wanted to go. His jokes in­ cluded subjects ranging from Wash­ ington police who ride mountain bikes to fifth-grade boys interested in girls who are eight feet tall. Since Shafer was raised in Puyal- lup and now lives in New York, he started out the show with local humor. He is keeping the rumor alive that it rains a lot in Washing­ ton, telling people back East it rains so much that the Coast Guard has to patrol Interstate-5. People in New York are sophisti­ cated, Shafer said. Everyone dresses up and no one wears jeans. Beards and mustaches are not common, unlike Washington where there are more beards per capita than any other state. "It is nice being back in Wash­ ington, I like seeing what the mountains and trees look like again," said Shafer. Shafer then talked about women who do not shave their legs during winter. Some women have bristles on their legs that could take bar­ nacles off a tug boat, Shafer said. That's why they make shavers pink, so they won't seem like weapons. Shafer talked briefly about the difference between being on televi­ sion and doing live stand-up com­ edy. "There's more freedom whenl'm doing a live act," Shafer said. "On T.V., I have to wear make­ up. It's weird because every one on T.V wears make-up, but you never hear about it on the Cover Girl commercials. The crowd loved Shafer's im­ pression of Jack Nicholson doing a make-up commercial. "When I'm playing a psychopathic killer," he said in Nicholson's voice, "I want a mascara that won't run." In an interview after his show, Shafer gave a few tips for college students interested in comedy or show business. "When I was in college, I wanted to be a millionaire, so I majored in business. I wouldn't suggest that anyone go into a field that they find even the least bit boring. "I think I have the easiest job in the world. I love what I do, it's as though I'm cheating life out of a living." Carie Jernquist, Parents' Week­ end coordinator, said she thought Ross Shafer made the weekend. "He really reached the audience. It seemed as though everyone thought he was funny," Jernquist said. Several members of the audience agreed with Jernquist's observa­ tions. "I had seen Ross Shafer of T.V. before, but never really watched him, " said Bill Lince, father of Central student Gina Gilbert .of Edmonds, "but, I never realized he was that funny." Tina Escure traveled from Wenatchee because she won free tickets to the show. "The show was better than I thought," she said. "Ross is really all right."

Page 10 — The Observer I HOROSCOPE Astrological forecast for the week of May 18-24 Aries (March 21—April 20) If you're debating whether or not to go home for the weekend, don't. Something big is waiting for you, and it is BIG! Taurus (April 21 —May 21) Keep a low profile this week because friends will be "nitpicking" your behavior. Pull up a blanket and watch soaps all week. Gemini (May 22—June 21) Your lack of energy may be attributed to the fact that your body is low on leafy green vegetables and high on beer. Cancer (June 22—July 23) You'll never know until you try. A guarded life is an empty life, so taste a bit of everything — you only live once. Leo (July 24—Aug. 23) Bills are running rampant, but remember crime doesn't pay. In just a few more weeks your parents get you for the summer. Virgo (Aug. 24—Sept. 23) Al­ though your summer plans might be up in the air right now, don't worry — try the fast food indus­ try, McDonalds is hiring. Libra (Sept. 24—Oct. 23) Don't waste all your time basking in the sun. The one you're trying to impress will find another who doesn't live like a rock. Scorpio (Oct. 24—Nov. 22) If you're heavily into the stock market right now, try selling everything and investing it all in Exxon. Are the stars ever wrong? Sagittarius (Nov. 23—Dec. 21) If a recent gust of wind has man­ aged to blow your car off the road or blow your books down the mall, opt for indoor activities. Capricorn (Dec. 22—Jan. 20) If you're using your 20-20 vision for tests this week, get up early— your luck is running out and you'll be late to class and end up in the front row. Aquarius (Jan. 21—Feb. 19) A strong desire to conserve water will leave you, at worst—smelly, and at best — under the shower with someone you've been hop­ ing for. Pisces (Feb. 20—March 20) Tomorrow may be the most excit­ ing day of your entire life. You guessed it, you won't be in Ellensburg! A short trip lies ahead. by LOLA SIGNS Contributing Writer Thursday May 18, 1989 Game show fever hits Central by BETSY HIGGS Staff Writer The "Win, Lose, or Draw," pre­ liminary tournament took place in the SUB pit Monday and Tuesday. This contest determined the four teams to go on to the May 30 finals. Win, Lose, or Draw is a contest named after the television game show conceived by Burt Reynolds and Loni Anderson. Two teams, consisting of three people, compete against each other to solve a puzzle. One team member attempts to get the other team members to guess what he or she is drawing. It is similar to charades, only it's done on paper. The drawings fall into such cate­ gories as movies or phrases. SaraDeligan, C WU junior andco- ordinator for the event, was respon­ sible for selecting the words to be used in the finals. It was difficult to choose words that hadn't been used in the resi­ dence hall tournaments, she said. The only stipulation for teams was that all three members must live in the same dorm. Six residence halls participated in the campus-wide program. "It's fun for the dorms to com­ pete against each other," Deligan said. "You have a lot of pride in competing and representing your dorm." Each hall was informed ahead of time which halls—chosen at ran­ dom—would compete against each other, so they could get "psyched up," Deligan said. Participating halls were Kamola, Quigley, Davies, Hitchcock, Barto, and Sparks. The finalists are from Davies Hall Donna Slomian, freshman, Krissy Schupp, sophomore andBrenda Lilly Junior, from Sparks Hall fresh­ men Marilyn Quinto, Jody Stern and Gitty Geissler from Barto Hall Noreen Elbert, junior,and sopho­ mores Teri Long and Jennifer Jones from Kamola Hall Jay Pow­ ers, freshman, and seniors Dave Williams and Todd Maley. The winning team will receive T-shirts and a free 6-man raft rental to be used by June 15. Deligan, who is employed by Uni­ versity Recreation, which is spon­ soring the event, and as hostess of the tournament, played the part of "Vicky Lawrence," who hosts the television version, while Dawn Wilkerson, CWU senior and intra­ mural sports supervisor, and Jody Stansberry, senior,acted as judges. Western art show not all cowboys and Indians by DAINA MURRAY * Staff Writer Motel room walls are probably the last place people expect to find quality paintings. But this week­ end, artists from all over the United States and Canada will use more than 100 rooms at the Best Western Ellensburg Inn to display their art­ work. During the 17th Annual Western Art Show and Auction on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, the public can tour the display rooms free, and purchase artwork directly from the artist. Artwork is available in a wide price range to suit every budget— even a college student's. Jo Leal Clark, manager of the Western Art Association office, said paintings go for as little as $50 to $ 100, and prints of some of the art­ ists' work are available for as little as $10. The subject matter of the western art covers more than just cowboys and Indians. Other subjects run the gamut from landscapes and still lifes to cows, deer and birds, and hunters and trappers. For instance, one sculpture, called "Mountain Man" by SheilaKirkpa- trick, shows a trapper resting con­ templatively on a log. The details of his skin, clothing, and personal belongings are intricately fashioned with amazing realism. This and other artwork will be auctioned Saturday at 6:15 p.m. at the main auction, and Sunday at noon. The Saturday auction requires a $30 ticket and includes a cham­ pagne reception and a quick draw demonstration. The Sunday auction is free, as is the quick draw demon­ stration at 11 a.m. Artists will autograph your paint­ ing, print or maybe just a catalog or program from the show at the free autograph session 1 p.m. Friday, or 11 a.m. Saturday. You can also watch these artists in action as they demonstrate tech­ nique Saturday at 1:30 p.m.. Ad­ mission is free. Each year, the Western Ait As­ sociation selects one piece from the show to add to its collection, which is called the purchase award. Dur­ ing the show, the Western Art As­ sociation will display their perma­ nent collection of purchase award winners at their gallery,406N. Pearl. Artistry of Eileen ft C© air Graduating?

Thursday May 18,1989 The Observer — Page 11 Artist wants you to like his work Professor discusses by BETSY HIGGS Staff Writer CWU Art Professor George Still- man returned from his one-man art show at Gallery Imago, San Fran­ cisco and is now preparing for his new exhibit in November. His recent show was "highly successful" in terms of sales, he said. The sale of a painting depends upon "the right person seeing it at the right time," Stillman said. "It's like a diamond. It's not valuable until someone will buy it." Stillman enjoys teaching and keeping in contact with students, but he only plans to teach one more quarter so he will have more time to dedicate to his painting. Stillman is "phase retired" at CWU, which means he only teaches three classes a year. He prefers to teach all three of his classes in one quarter, he said. "Most painters wish to just sell something, but pretty soon you're so well-known and in demand that you can't keep up with success," Stillman said. "It's like my wife always says, 'you've got to prepare for1 success.'" Washington state requires state funded buildings to spend 0.5 per­ cent of the overall value of the proj­ ect on artwork. Stillman has been commissioned to work on a number of pieces of this nature. Several of his paintings can be seen at the high schools in Lacrosse, Naches, Burbank and Omak. He has photographed local flora for the high school at Medical Lake, made a graphite drawing for the Seattle Municipal WaterWorks, and painted four egg-tempera agricul­ tural scenes forthe Washington state ferry "Kittitas." Pursuit of a career in art has taken Stillman all over the world. Besides Central, Stillman has taught pho­ tography and lithography in tnii! MUMS# ••••... disturbing texts Artist and photographer George Stillman is a part-time art profes­ sor at Central. (Photo by Gina Myer) Guadalajara, Mexico, and pho­ tolithography and printing in Latin America. InRiode Janeiro,he was incharge of the North-East Brazil Communi­ cations program, where he worked on motion pictures, graphic arts and radio. He has also worked in New York, California, Arizona and Georgia. Stillman was a commercial artist for a while, but found it less satisfy­ ing. "I'd rather teach or sweep streets because commercial art prostitutes something I like to do," he said. He published his first photograph nationally at age 12. His first exhi­ bition in an international show was in 1947, and his first gallery show was in 1949. Stillman is represented by three west coast galleries: Foster White in Seattle, Ammex in Santa Rosa, Calif, and Gallery Imago, San Fran­ cisco. He has also has paintings in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, in New York. Stillman has done many one- and two-man shows, participated in numerous traveling shows and won "a lot" of first place prizes and awards, he said. "But that only helps me profes­ sionally," Stillman said. "It's much more important to me how you like it. That helps me personally." Dr. Frank Cioffi, Central Wash­ ington University professor, will present a lecture titled "Comforting Texts, Disturbing Texts," as part of the 1989 English department lec­ ture series. His free public discus­ sion begins at 7 p.m. Tuesday at , Grupe conference Center. Cioffi says he will "be discussing a theory of literary response and reading in general. Most people are comforted by reading. That is why they read. Books provide comfort and help them wrap up loose ends that they can't wrap up in their own lives." But not all books are comforting, Cioffi added. Some may cause the reader to re-evaluate previously cherished values and ideals, forcing the reader to move out of his our her comfort zone. Or, a book may be so disturbing that it elicits an angry or indignant response in the reader. Already example of such a text is Anthony Burgess' "A Clockwork Orange," in which descriptions of graphic violence are often so dis­ turbing that some people never fin­ ish reading the book. The bottom line is that after reading a"disturbing text" the reader "carries away a changed picture," Cioffi said. Beautiful texts, said Cioffi, "re­ quire a certain level of reader in­ volvement. They are disturbing, but 'positively' disturbing. They en­ hance your feeling of being alive." An example of such a work, said Cioffi, is the "Unbearable Light­ ness of Being." Because society's values change, what was once considered a "com­ forting text" in Cioffi's definition - for example, Herman Melville's classic "Moby Dick" - can be cate­ gorized also as a "disturbing text." The content of the literature remains a constant, he added, while society's attitudes are the variables, depending on the challenges a given society is facing. And that will have an influence on how a particular piece of literature is interpreted at any given time. '"Moby Dick' really deals with the senseless slaughtering of whales," he said. An issue which has received a lot of media attention in the last 20 years. In addition, Melville presented his female char­ acters in a negative light, in relation to today's attitudes, Cioffi said. But when the book was first published, these problems were not issues in the public's eye. "Moby Dick" was merely a book about a man's emo­ tional and physical battle with a whale, he said. Cioffi has been working with the concept of "comforting texts, dis­ turbing texts" for the last six years, and presented his first lecture on the topic in Warsaw in 1985. Central Action Network cleans campus Tuesday by NOREEN ELBERT Staff Writer One person alone might not be able to make a difference, but Cen­ tral Action Network (CAN) mem­ bers feel they can by banning to­ gether. CAN is not associated with any particular political party, and is not out to save the world, said Lorna Jackson, club member. "We want to avoid being like other clubs. Central Action Net­ work is not here for 'us,' it's here for the benefit of others," said Jackson. CAN is a year-old organization that was recently recognized as a club by the CWU Board of Direc­ tors. "Until five weeks ago the club had two members, all of the sudden we have 18 members who are really ready to make some changes," said Andrew Bates, club member. "We are getting reorganized." CAN is interested in public serv­ ice and using accessible resources to make a difference. The organiza­ tion is split into four branch action committees. Environment, community, campus, and human/ animal rights are the organization subgroups. "Hopefully out of the four groups, everyone will find something to interest them," said Bates. "People complain, but rarely do anything to make situations better. By banning together in CAN, students will be more likely to see things happen." "Tuesday and Wednesday we are having a campus wide clean-up and we really need volunteers," said Bates. The club will meet Tuesday at 1 p.m. at Davies Hall to get organized and will then begin picking up litter in the parking lot behind Bouillon and Black Halls. "If you can't make it at 1 p.m. then catch up with us anytime dur­ ing the day," Bates said. "We'll be the group of people picking up garbage near the light-blue recycle truck. You don't have to be a member of the club to participate." Other activities such as Yakima River clean-up, canned food drive, loose change collections are being planned for the future. "I didn't want to be 30 years old and look back on my college years and say, 'what did I do?' Being involved in CAN gives students something to be proud of," said Kim Kollmeyer, group member. "Right now we are in the plan­ ning stages. Our goal is to have the club organized, so next year will start out smoothly," said Jackson. CAN meetings are every Mon­ day at 8 p.m. in the SUB, room 103 GRADUATING SENIORS Become a part of Class Tree Walk Your 1989 Class Tree will be dedicated Friday, June 9th on the Walnut Mall, south of Wilson Creek.

Page 12 — The Observer Thursday May 18,1989 Volleyball didn't work 'The Stickmen' turn to music by GEORGE EDGAR Staff Writer When intramural volleyball isn't your forte but the team has a great name, the fun shouldn't stop at the end of the season. Thea was how the CWU four-man rock band decided on the name "The Stickmen." "Rich (Coates) and I were on the team," recalled Brook Durant, the group's bassist. "We just thought it would be a cool name for a band." "Even though we never won, we did have the most points for sports­ manship," Durant pointed out. Coates later moved to California, and Todd Schwisow joined the band to form the current lineup. The Stickmen consist of lead singer Rich Sikorski of Auburn, guitarist Jeff Woodruff ofKirkland, drummer Todd Schwisow of Ritzville and Durant of Bothel. Woodruff and Durant played together for a while before they met Sikorski and Coates. The Stickmen are proud to admit they were the first band to play at Harry B's, Barto Hall's newly-es­ tablished nightclub. They will be making a return performance to­ morrow night at 7:30. "When approached about Harry B's, we didn't really associate it as a new thing," Woodruff said. "We just saw it as a chance to play in front of people." The Stickmen play "post modern rock" like The Cure, The Cult, R.E.M., and U2. The group also writes many of its own songs. "We've been writing songs that don't have much meaning," Durant said. "But lately we've been adding songs with more substance. "'Georgia' is one of the songs we have written. It's about a girl. It's also one of the very first songs we wrote,"Durant said. Another original song by the group is "Get Away From Me." This one is about choices and deci­ sions that need to be made, and not wanting to deal with them. The Stickmen are using their song-writing skills to put together a four-song demo tape for auditions. "We play just to have fun," Durant Another goal for the group is to play said. "But that's not to say we aren t a few Seattle clubs this summer. successful." Central professor authority on 'biker gangs' by MARK WAVRA Contributing Writer CWU Professor Rod McMillan has established himself as one of the nation's foremost authorities on the subculture of motorcycle riders. The law and justice professor has developed an original theory ex­ plaining the formation of outlaw motorcycle gangs. McMillan has law enforcement experience, holds an Associate of Arts, bachelors and masters degree, and is an associate technician of police sciences. His reports have been well accepted at national con­ ventions and he participates in a core group that devotes itself to the study of biker gang formation. McMillan also has personal inter­ ests in the biking sub-culture. "I self-identify as a biker. I my­ self buy into part of the mystique of riding a motorcycle," McMillan said. "Straight citizens recognize bi­ kers by appearance, but there is more to being a biker than an image. The image results from the biker's lifestyle." Obviously, the biker's lifestyle revolves around the motorcycle. Since the motorcycle has appeal to young and old alike, the subculture of biking has a large age spectrum. The chosen brand of motorcycle among bikers is the Harley- Davidson. The "Harley" is the only American-made motorcycle and has a very distinct personality. "The riding of the Harley- Davidson is in itself a very special thing. If you haven't ridden one, you don't know what it's like," McMillan said. The subculture has its own eth­ ics. "Showing-class" for a biker is like the chivalric code for a medie­ val knight. "Straight citizens" show class by behaving properly and displaying goods. Bikers show class by "doing things that the rest of society isn't going to see as too classy," McMillan said. Bikers show class by "mind snap­ ping." This entails intimidating, coercing or repulsing straight citi­ zens. An example of this is a biker urinating in or drinking out of someone else's pitcher of beer in a public restaurant. Showing class also requires a biker to perform hazardous stunts, subject himself to pain, and most important, defend his beliefs and property, McMillan said. If a biker does not show class he is not respected by other bikers. Bikers are hard-core partiers. They show class by consuming large amounts of alcohol (or possibly other illegal substances), puking, sleeping for a bit and partying some more, McMillan said. Having a tattoo is considered a show of class because of the im­ mense amount of pain one goes through in getting one. "Tats" also symbolize a biker's attitude or a significant event, such as the death of a loved one or a sexual experi­ ence. The "tat" is often a symbol of Aryan or pagan tradition. Aryanism not only serves as an inspiration for "tats" but bikers also regard its beliefs. "Most bikers self-identify as Aryans or Nazis. They tend to be very racist. They also don iron crosses and swastikas and other symbols of the Nazi era," McMil­ lan said. Neo-paganism (a renaissance of Norse mythology) is a new phase in biker politics and religion. Neo- paganism inspires occultism, witch­ craft and even satanism. "Some bikers consider these be­ liefs a show of class, but others take the beliefs quite seriously," said McMillan. Bikers communicate politics, religion, style, short stories and advertisements through their own literature. There are four magazines catering to the subculture of bikers: Easy Rider, Iron Horse, Biker Life­ style and Outlaw Biker. "When bikers socialize together in a group, this is a club. This is not a gang," McMillan said. Clubs, however, are embryonic stages of gangs. When clubs form, they carefully choose a name to identify their group. Then patches and a logo are made to symbolize the group's collective identity. The logo and patches are known as a group's "colors." "To put things in perspective, an old biker saying is, 'My old lady, yeah my gun, yeah my dog- maybe my bike-never!' A biker values his patch even more than his bike and, like I said, that bike means a lot," McMillan said. When a club wants to take an­ other club's name, it is called "pull­ ing colors." The actual threat is called a "patch insult," and sticking up for and defending the group's colors is called a "patch attitude." A "patch attitude" is a big part of a biker's show of class. Not only is he required to defend himself during a patch insult, but also is required to defend any other patch holders in his gang. "Many people kill and die over patch insults," McMillan said. "But for a biker to show class, he's got to defend his colors." McMillan started his research when he realized that there was not a definition for an outlaw biker gang. He felt that gangs were distinct enough that they required a specific definition. His research resulted in an original theory explaining the development of outlaw biker gangs. "It just happened that I came along at the right time. I'm veiy well accepted at national conventions, but in Washington state I'm thought of as some rural hick interested in bikers," McMillan said. McMillan's theory is that outlaw biker gangs develop in three stages. In a stage one group, the beginning of an outlaw biker gang, self-iden­ tified bikers band together in club form. Since individuals within the group consider themselves to be outlaws, crimes are committed, but they are not sanctioned by the group. When the group becomes the subject of police investigation and pressure, the group members will respond in one of three ways: they will dis­ band, they will latch onto another group or they will increase criminal activity and develop into a stage two group. To become a stage two group, the initial group must reform its leader­ ship. The group will invariably increase the level of crime, although not all the members will participate in criminal behavior. Crime is used as a way to generate income for the organization. Gangs at this level employ sophisticated counter-intel­ ligence, security and weaponry devices. When police pressure the sec- ond-stage gang, the members will do one of three things: they will disband, they will join other gangs or will reform the group's leader­ ship again. If the transition to new leadership is successful, the gang moves on to stage three. The emphasis of this gang is to make money, and many members establish themselves as outlaws. The group acts as a busi­ ness and makes money in many ways. "Stage three biker gangs produce and distribute mass amounts of drugs," McMillan said. "They also make and sell their own hard-core pornography. The gangs also run legitimate businesses, even though they will eliminate competition in illegal ways." A stage three gang needs and creates new levels of expertise within the organization. Labor is divided among the members, and they also bring in outside skill. That help often comes in the form of military men who teach the mem­ bers how to use sophisticated weap­ onry, but this is not the only new skill they need. Anyone who can prove that they can make money for the gang is admitted. The power of the gang is central­ ized and consolidated to control decision making and the group's crime level. Just as in any other business, this centralization is needed to control the group's ex­ panding branches. The classic example of a stage three outlaw biker gang is the Hell's Angels. Their organization has bases in thirty-three countries and con­ trols various places within in the United States. Locally, the Hell's Angels have control of the entire 1-5 corridor, from southern California into Can­ ada. They constantly recruit indi­ viduals and groups to expand the gang, even in the state of Washing­ ton. The Hell's Angels leader, Sonny Barger, leads this sophisticated in­ ternational organization from a base in Oakland. They can communicate world-wide through an advanced facsimile system. Despite their al­ leged illegal activities, not many members spend time in prison, because, as McMillan said, "They can all afford veiy good lawyers." "The 'Big Four' motorcycle gangs [Hell's Angels, Outlaws, Pagan Nation and Banditos] are more powerful, more widespread and more sophisticated than the Crips and the Bloods will ever be," McMillan said. "I don't think that we will ever stop major motorcycle gangs," McMillan said. "They are extremely sophisticated and will probably grow to the level of La Cosa Nostra and the Mafia."

Thursday May 18, 1989 The Observer — Page 13 Central bands are popping up like flowers by GEORGE EDGAR Staff Writer Rockslide, SPECTRE, The Stick- men, Diamond White, The Suits, Otis Elevator and the Shafts — where did all these bands come from? There seems to be an explosion of bands originating from the CWU campus. Students are beginning to see more and more rock and roll bands performing live both on and off campus. Some of the bands, like Rock- slide, have been around for a few years. But suddenly bands seem to be popping up like spring flowers. The major reason for the variety of bands is the variety of music they offer. The Stickmen, for example, play what is known as post-modern rock. Otis Elevator and the Shafts have a jazz/soul sound. Spectre is known for its heavy metal, while the Suits play rock-n-roll oldies. "There's a variety in the music of all the bands," said Lance Hodges, guitarist for the Suits. "We're giv­ ing the students a choice in what they want to hear." Another reason for the recent influx of bands is the increase of places to play. The recent inception of Barto Hall's "Harry B's" night­ club is one example as well as the long-running Papa John's. "Just the opportunity to play gives a band incentive," said Brooke Durant, bassist for the Stickmen. "If we have a place to play, we'll try it." He added that a place like Harry B's "gives people a chance to hear us for free. Harry B's draws differ­ ent crowds and you can dance to a live band. It's a great alternative." Then there's the typical band at the bar scene. "There are drawbacks to playing at bars — no one can see us unless they're 21," Durant said. "(Bands) also have to have three hours worth of material in order to keep people interested." Leslie Cohan, manger of Central's KC AT-FM, adds that promotion has stimulated interest in all the bands, local and otherwise. "There have always been bands on campus and they draw good promotion," she said. "A place like Harry B's gives them a venue to play. When a band plays, they come to us (KCAT) for help. We help them out with flyers to promote their act." With all these bands, it would be understandable if there was some competition. "We're not adversaries," stresses drummer Craig Hines of the Suits. "We even share each other's music. Msm - ifMMM Indigo Cowboy rocks the crowded SUB during noon hour. (Photo by Steve Douglas) "Some of the bands came out of other local bands.

Lutes will present a slide show and give a lecture on his work tomorrow at 7 p.m. in CWU's Randall Hall room 117. Originally from Richland, Wash., Lutes is a graduate of Washington State University. Currently Lutes is presenting solo exhibits of his work across the nation. "His paintings are everything they seem on first impression — ugly, tragic, self-reproachful, gross, de­ spairing and, somehow, they are also beautiful, comic, accusatory, delicate, and hopeful — intensely personal, even private, these paint­ ings are by and about Jim Lutes," said Carlo McCormick, ARTFO- RUM columnist and critic, in a review of Lutes' work. Not only have Lutes' canvasses been exhibited at the Chicago Inter­ national Art Exposition, Lutes had been awarded various art scholar­ ships, a Pischel Award, and an "Award in the Visual Arts." Lutes' visit is sponsored by the Central art department and the Yakima Allied Art Council and is free to the public. Summer travel bigger than ever According to a recent travel in­ dustry report, the summer of '89 will be a record breaker for getting away. Among trends predicted in the U.S. Travel Data Center's 1989 "Summer Vacation Travel Fore­ cast" are trips closer to home, to cities and to the Southeast. The study, the result of monthly surveys of 1,500 adults nationwide, also predicts travelers will take shorter trips. Trips of fewer than three nights should grow 7 percent. "There just isn't enough time to take extensive trips," says Suzanne Cook, director of the Data Center. "(But) people are not really cutting back on the number of nights over­ all they're going to take away from home, they're just doing it in small blocks." Other forecasts: — The Southeast, tops last sum­ mer, will be the most popular re­ gion again, drawing 27 percent of all tourists. Second is the West, 23 percent third, the Midwest, 17 per­ cent. — July will be the busiest vaca­ tion month. — Cities will be the top spots to visit ocean beaches, No. 2. — The number of trips by one person traveling 100 miles or more from home will rise from 321 mil­ lion to 330 million. — Travelers will spend a record 1.8 billion nights away from home this summer. — Day trips will increase 5 per­ cent one-nighters, 8 percent two- or three-nighters, 12 percent. — Travel abroad will increase 3 percent. —52 percent of vacations will be fewer than 500 miles round-trip. — 31 percent of summer trips will be visits to friends and rela­ tives.

€ Mike Bush I.D. required to sleep with councilman Rice For many of the younger students here at Central, the next couple of years will be spent in great anticipation. This is not because they get to look forward to another year in the dorms, sharing bath­ rooms with people who have never heard the words "personal hygiene" and are completely unaware of how the flushing handle on the toilet is operated, but because they will soon reach that magical age that every freshman will be counting down the days to — 21. Let me tell you what it's like. When you finally do reach the "age of all ages," you will be allowed, through the wonders of our legal system, to do anything you darned well please. Most of the activities included in this freedom are a direct result of being able to walk into any store, whip out your real identification card (not a fake one like every freshman on this campus already has) and buy gallons of grotesque tasting liquids designed primarily to make people fall down after consumption. With this newly-found right, you will be able to partake in the traditional collegiate activity of "Beer-Goggle Dating."

Doesn't this sound like fun??!!! Thanks to Seattle City Councilman Norm Rice, you freshman have one more 21-year- old type activity to look forward to — YOU CAN BUY PAINT! YAY!!! This is no joke. Mr. Rice, who has obvi­ ously sold his brain to science and put some­ thing like NECCO wafers in its place, has come up with the brilliant idea to ban the sale of spray paint to minors in an effort to put an end to graffiti. I wasn 't aware that graffiti was such a problem. I like graffiti. If it weren't for graffiti, I would have noth­ ing to read in public restrooms and I believe the world of pornographic poetry would greatly suffer if this ban goes into affect. If it weren't for graffiti, I would have no idea which graduating class rules at any given time ('85 rules). I think the ban on paint is a bad idea, though. I can see it now — 17-year-olds will be standing in front of Coast to Coast hard­ ware stores whispering to people, "Pssst! Mister, would you buy me a can of paint?" Personally, I would rather have this nation's youth out painting graffiti instead going out and getting drunk. You never know when you're going to get messed up on alcohol, pass out and wake up with some horrid for­ eign creature — like Norm Rice the next morning.

Thursday May 18, 1989 The Observer — Page 15 Sports Sports Sports Sports Olson outstanding performer at districts Central Washington University's Ron Olson was selected Outstand­ ing male performer at Saturday's district track meet. Olson won both the the long jump (22-10 3/4) and the triple jump (46- 6 3/4) and placed in the decathlon, and 1500 meters. Olson, holds the school-record in the high jump, cleared 6-7 in that event to place second. The men's track team placed second in the meet while the women went on to place fourth. Both Pacific Lutheran University's men's and women's team took first place at the meet. Other Central winners in the meet were Scott Bickar in the hammer (173-10), Keith Baker in the 110 meter high hurdles (15.27) and Bill Walker in the shot put (51-10). Walker won the shot put event for the second time. The 400 meter relay team con­ sisting of James Mitchell, Carl Fite, MikeKnust, and Keith Baker. Knust replaced teammate Mark Ward who injured a hamstring in Friday's sprint preliminaries. Central, traditionally a distance running power, was shut out in the steeplechase, 1500meters and5000 meters and managed just seventh place from Dan Sutich in the 10,000. CWU's women did not win any individual events but moved up two places from last year's sixth place. A second place finish by Sonia Swan in the high jump was Central's best finish of the meet. Kris Kjolso had an excellent meet accounting for 25 of CWU's points. Kjolso placed fourth in the 100 hurdles (16.5), third in the hurdles and long jump and second in the heptathlon.

Whit­ worth, 26-12 for the season, won the right to advance to the Area 1 Baseball Championships this week­ end in Spokane. Central's season ended with the Wildcats at an even 17-17 mark. In the first game of Friday's doubleheader, the Wildcats scored four times in the first inning, but had to muster twice from behind to beat the Pirates 9-7. Starter Charlie Hatem conceded a home run to Whitworth's Steve Camyn in the fifth to whittle Central's lead to 5-4. An rbi double by Steve Konek knotted a tie in the sixth and another rbi double by Paul Reyes gave the Pirates a 5-4 lead. The 'Cats rallied for two runs in the seventh on Dave Herrick's walk and Cory Skalisky's home run to enjoy a fleeting 6-5 advantage be­ fore Mark Linden's two run homer made it 7-6 Pirates in the bottom of the inning. The denouement was achieved when Dave Herrick belted a two run homer in the eighth for an 8-7 CWU advantage. A final insurance tally crossed the plate when Brian Bad- dley drew a bases loaded walk in the ninth. Hatem was relieved by Andy Hoey who recorded the win with last out help from Mike Ferguson. Ferguson's efficiency earned him a save. In the second game, Central blazed up to a 5-0 lead after five innings, fueled by the hot hitting of See: 'Cat's dumped page 19
Page 16 — The Observer Fiorito 'outta' here? E,liot bi§',itt,e-nian'18,1989MayThursday By JILL ULNESS Staff Writer First year tennis coach Randy Fiorito may not be coaching next year, despite strong player feelings against losing him. Fiorito's stay depends on if he can get a full-time teaching job in Ellensburg. He has been substitute teaching this year, and coaching at the same time. "It depends on if I'm hired by a school district," said Fiorito on whether he is coming back. "You can't make it [a living] on part-time coaching." "Coaching was a great experi­ ence — a neat deal. I learned a lot about what to do and what not to." "I think everyone enjoyed them­ selves," he said. The Central tennis teams have had four different coaches in the last four years, and the players don't want Fiorito to leave. Randy Fiorito Fourth seed Lisa Burton said, "I think the school is losing a good coach. I've been here for four years, and he's thebestcoach that's come along. If it wasn't for him [Fiorito] I wouldn't have played." Third seed on the women's team Chris Parkhttrst, a junior said los­ ing Fiorito, "would be a real loss, we all liked him as a coach. He is easy to work with." The men's second seed Jeff Wilson, a senior who transferred from Western Washington Unvier- sity, said Fiorito is, "an incredible coach, the best I've ever had. He has great knowledge of the game." "He could kill any one of us out there [on the court]." Top seed for the men, junior Rob Davis said, "He [Fiorito] is a great coach. I'd really love to have him br»ck next year." The women's second seed, jun­ ior Kelly Williams said, "Randy is a good coach. I've never had a coach with both the enthusiasm and knowledge of the game he has." Fiorito, who is an avid tennis player, plans to catch up this sum­ mer on all the playing he missed during the season. "I'm going to miss coaching if I'm not here," he said. Her rick finishes at .478 David Herrick (Jr., Bothell-Ed- monds CC) and Cory Skalisky (Sr., Wenatchee-UW) are Central Washington University's all-time single-season batting and slugging champions, respectively. Herrick won Central's 1989 batting title with an average of .478, breaking the old school mark of .469 set by Bob Utech in the 1971 season. Skalisky, who batted .430, set a new school record slugging mark with a .740 average., break­ ing the old standard of .734 set by Tim Slavin in the 1982 season, Skalisky also tied five other records during the 1989 season. He equaled single game marks for hits (5), runs (5), rbi (9), and total bases (13) and also tied the single-season high for most consecutive games with a hit (19). Brian Baddley (Sr., Kennewick- SFCC) and Charlie Hatem (Sr., Kent-Meridian) also established new school records. Baddley set a new career mark of 14 for being hit by a pitch. The old record was Joe Dawson's 13 (1985-88). Baddley also tied the single-game record for runs scored (5). Hatem tied his own single-sea­ son pitching record for hit batsmen with nine and established a new career record with 18. Central completed its season with a 17-17 record. Whitworth Col­ lege defeated the Wildcats for the NAIA District 1 title last weekend. Three pitchers-Jeff Pepper (Jr., Seattle-Tyee & YVC), Kyle Smith (Sr., Bellevue- Bellevue CC), and John Kvinsland (Fr., Port Townsend) tied for the team lead in victories with three. In addition to leading the team in slugging, Skalisky also was the team leader in home runs (8) and rbi (39) and he and Herrick tied for the most hits with 43. Herrick also led in doubles with eight, strike­ outs with 13, and putouts with 94. Other individual leaders included Ron Kostick (Sr., Centralia-Cen- tralia CC) in runs scored (27) and stolen bases (7) and Baddley in walks (27) and assists (54). mm SPRINGFIELD, Mass. — Sean Elliott was the big man in college basketball this season. Tuesday, the Arizona senior col­ lected his fourth post season na­ tional award the Joe Lapchick Trophy at an ceremony at the Nais- mith Memorial Baksetball Hall of Fame that featured the formal in­ duction of Lenny Wilkens, K.C. Jones and William "Pop" Gates into the Hall of Fame. The Lapchick Trophy is awarded annually to the nation's most out­ standing senior collegiate player. Already this year he has been presented with other variations of the best player of the year award— the Wooden Award, the Adolph Rupp Award and the National Association of Basketball Coaches Player-of-the-Year trophy. But when it comes to NBA draft day June 27, he figures that he may not be big enough. "The NBA mentality is for the big man, to be the first choice," the 6- 8 native of Tucson said. "There have been a few exceptions, but the big guys usually go first in the NBA, so there won't be a pride thing if I go second or third." Pervis Ellison of Louisville is generally regarded as the top cen­ ter prospect available. While Elliott said he is not wor­ rying about when he goes in the draft, the All-American has some definite thoughts about where he hopes he goes to play. "I really would like to play in a warm place," he said, adding he will announce his choice of an agent sometime next week. "I'm not at liberty to say where I would like to go, but there are a couple places, like Miami and California teams which (may) be in the lottery." said Elliott. However, Elliott said he could adjust to the wintery weather of Chicago — to get a chance to play with Michael Jordan. "Everybody would love to play with Jordan," he said. By the very nature of the draft system it is almost certain that wherever Elliott goes, he will be heading to a losing team, a far cry from his winning days at Arizona. "I would consider that a challenge to go in and contribute as much as I could," he said. "It would be a good feeling to come and help sta­ bilize a program." "He will have an impact wherever he goes," said Wilkens, the coach of the Cleveland Cavaliers. "He has a total game, he is a tremendous player."

Nutritionally, alcohol is considered a food, although it contributes mostly calories and almost no nutrients. One gram of alcohol contains seven calories, almost twice as much as carbohydrate and protein (four calories per. gram). An average 7-10% of total daily calories come from alcoholic beverages in the United States. Alcohol abuse is related to throat, esophagus and liver cancer, as well as other liver diseases. Heavy drinking during pregnancy may cause prenatal growth retardation and physical and mental defects in the baby. Excessive intake also interferes with the body's ability to absorb nutrients such as folic acid, which can lead to anemia. Along with its nutritional impact, alcohol is also involved in 50°/o of all traffic fatalities. If you drink, do so in moderation and don't drive. Think before you drink.

Thursday May 18,1989 The Observer — Page 19 Crimp's record speaks for itself by KIRK LUNDQUIST Staff Writer For the third time in his four year coaching stint, Frank Crimp's golf team is heading to nationals. Cur­ rently this year's team is ranked 17th in the nation. "If everyone on the team plays their best, we could finish in the top five" said Crimp. "However we ex­ pect a top ten finish". "They know what is ahead of the rainbow" Crimp said. "They have a burning desire to win." This years team is led by four seniors and a junior. Four of the team members have previous expe­ rience competing in national tour­ naments. Scot Ramsay, the fifth golfer, was a PGA pro player for a year and a half. Tom Mueller, Perry Hallmeyer and Ramsay all finished in the top five in districts last week. Already this year, Mueller has won the Walla Walla Invitational as well as the district title. Crimp's and Mueller's relationship began five years ago at Ellensburg High School, where he was Mueller's coach. "He had a temper in high school, but he has matured into a good golf course manager" Crimp said. 'This last month Hallmeyer has been playing the best golf of his life" Crimp said. Hallmeyer won his first NAIA tournament at the Western Washington Invitational a few weeks ago. Crimp said that senior Scot Ramsay this year has "shown per­ severance". It was a struggle for Crimp to get Ramsay eligible to play because he had played profes­ sional golf before. "Scot has been the catalyst that has put use in the winning mode" Crimp said. Since Ramsay has joined the team the Wildcats have won three tournaments and districts. Crimp feels that during his four year coaching tenure at Central, Robi Rob has been his best player. Rob made All American in 1987 when he placed fifteenth at nation­ als. Along with his twin brother Keith, Crimp played golf for four years at Central and is a graduate of the class of '72. "Our team was always beaten by Eastern" Crimp said. Frank and Keith Crimp were the 'Cat's num­ ber one and two players. Before coaching the Wildcats, Crimp spent three years as the Ellensburg High School. Currently he manages Ellensburg Golf Course and is the greens keeper.

Schiller hit his third grand slam home run of the season in the third, then solo homered again in the fifth to account for all the' Cat runs. Nevertheless, the CWU lead could not withstand Whitworth's trademark, the power game, as Steve Camyn and Eddie Beloate both homered to tie the game at 5-5. Mike Nyquist hit a solo homer to put the Pirates ahead 6-5 in the seventh, then added a two run shot in the ninth. His second blast mir­ rored another two run ninth inning homer by Dan Lindgren to make the final score 10-5. Whitworth's Troy Oliver with­ stood Schiller's heroics to go seven innings for the victory. Junior Jeff Pepper was the losing pitcher. In the third game Saturday, Mike Nyquist helped end the Wildcat's season by collecting four ibi on four hits, including a home run, as Whit- worth won the NAIA District 1 title with an 11-6 win. Nyquist hammered seven of his Whitworth school record 19 home runs against CWU pitching this year. He started the Pirate's scoring with a solo homer in his first at bat in the second inning, cutting the 'Cat's lead to 2-1. Whitworth tied the score later in the second when Mark Linden scored on a ground out. The Pirates then took control of the game by scoring five runs in the third and four more in the fourth to build an 11-5 lead. Two critical CWU errors contributed to Whitworth's two big innings. Central gathered 13 hits and all six runs against starter Eddie Eu- genio in five plus innings but was dazzled by reliever Mike Strauden- maier, who gave up only one hit in the last four innings to save the game. The 'Cats left 10 runners stranded on base, 33 in the three game series. Central's John Martin pitched 5 2/3 innings of scoreless relief to finish the game. Kyle Kappenman's home run in the third closed the score to 7-5, but the Pirate's four run fourth put the game and the District Champion­ ship beyond the Wildcat's reach.

by carrying an e Even if you're up to your eyebrows in homework, you needn't carry the world on your shoulders. Not with a Macintosh® computer on your desk. Think of an assignment that weighs heavily on your mind right now—say, a term paper. With Macintosh, you can bring instant order to the jumble of notes, scribbles, quotes, and excerpts that'll go into your paper. You can quickly draft an outline, change the order of topics, and jot down related ideas at will. Then you start to write. You don't like the way you phrased a paragraph? No prob­ lem—try something new, without erasing or retyping a word. Want to move the second )age of your first draft to the tail end of your ast draft? It only takes a few seconds. With Macintosh, you can also have your paper proofread in a minute or two. And you can illustrate it with professional-looking drawings and graphs, even if you don't know a T-square from a T-bird. And here's the clincher: You can learn to do all of these things—all of them—in less time than you might spend studying for a Monday morning quiz. Starting Sunday. Will •x,x x#vx*s3 x-:#:-xx VOTV.W.
