D H Thursday March 1,1990 Central Washington University Vol. 8 No. 16 'The biggest win for students this year' Tuition surcharge bill shot down in Senate by JIM THOMSEN Managing Editor In what student leaders are hailing as an unprecedented victory, a bill that would have raised student tuition by 10 percent—a $550 annual boost for Central students — died in the state Senate Higher Educating Commit­ tee this week. "This is by far the biggest win for students this year, in a year of big wins," said Scott LaFramboise, Washington StateUniversity's legislative representative to the Washington Student Lobby, in a presentation to the ASCWU Board of Directors Tuesday. The bill apparently was headed for passage through the Senate last week when diligent efforts by student lobbyists — spurted by more than 2,000 angry phone calls from stu­ dents to bill sponsor Sen. Dan McDonald (R—Yarrow Point)—weighted the measure down with amendments that not all Senate members could agree on, according to LaFramboise. The student bombast influenced some senators who told McDonald they could not promise to throw their support behind the bill, he added. McDonald,seeing he probably did not have the votes to force the measure through the Senate, allowed the bill to die. "The students personally made my job a whole lot easier," said LaFramboise, who, along with Central student legislative repre­ sentative David Schaffert, teamed to drown the bill with peripheral amendments designed * Pell Grants face federal cutbacks ^ by TAMRA M. LUCAS Staff Writer Potential budget cuts in Wash­ ington, D.C. may affect nearly 2,000 Central students through cuts in financial aid programs, according to Donna Croft, acting director in Central's financial aid office. Croft said the federal government may mandate cuts on Pell Grants, awards that help undergraduates earn a bachelor's or first profes­ sional degree. She said, unlike loans, grants are not paid back and aid from federal and non-federal sources may be added. The maximum award for the ^ 1990-91 year will remain at $2,300 for full-time students, Croft said. However, the proposed would effect those students who their sec­ ond year would have received $250 now would receive a $195 grant— 0 a $55 decrease, she said. At a national level, the program will be operating at a funding level of $4.78 billion, according to recent statistics released by me U.S. De­ partment of Education. The depart­ ment maintains this amount is in- sufficient to cover program costs, thus the Pell Grant awards must be reduced. Croft said the Perkins loans and other federal programs may also be reduced. A Perkins loan is a five percent see Budget page 5 to halt the bill's progress. The bill, in addition to the tuition sur­ charge, would have brought more money to universities for capital construction projects. The funds set aside for such projects used to come from a fixed annual dollar amount and would have been changed to a percentage of each student's tuition — therefore adjusting to annual inflationary increases in tuition. In addition, the failure of the bill to clear the Senate Higher Education Committee rules out the possibility the bill could spring to life as a result of a House-Senate compromise. This is February? In Ellensburg? What's going on here? Let's look at the facts. First we had the mildest winter in several years — flaccid flurries of snow, as compared to the usual November-to-May coat­ ing of white. Sunny skies and warm temperatures — a high of 68 degrees was recorded Sunday — hit town at the worst possible time. Two weeks before finals is probably not the most opportune time for spring fever to strike the student populace. - r V - " !• - . . . x ' x • ' * ' tSh m mmt- mm 4 W \ -MM. -Ak, wamm Central sophomores and Barto residents Stuart Mortenson and Ben Sonkar relax and work on their tans in the unusually sunny February weather (above).

Presently, Central students must go to Seattle or Tacoma to buy tickets.for events on Ticketmaster. Ticketmaster approached the university earlier this quarter and entered into contract negotiations. Drinkwater said he faxed pro­ posed contract changes to Ticketmaster last Wednesday. He hopes to have the outlet approved and operational by spring quarter. "This is something we want to pursue," Drinkwater said. Tickets available at the outlet would be for shows including Champs de Brionne Winery programs in George and Sundome events in Yakima, as well as major conceits, sporting events, theater, opera and ballet shows from Vancouver B.C. to Portland if the computer line is set up, according to Drinkwater. "Once the outlet is in, we'll be linked to every major event in the state," he said. A new ticket window opening into the west SUB entrance near Tent-N-Tube is the likely location for the outlet, Drinkwater said. It could be open when the rest of the SUB is closed. "Our students will have as equal access to front-row seating — if not better — because our lines will be predictably shorter," Drinkwater said. Central's outlet will receive a feed from a computer at the Sundome in Yakima. A standard convenience charge is added by Ticketmaster to the buyer's price of each ticket. Central will recieve 30 to 40 percent of that charge, Drinkwater said. Ticketmaster will provide the special tele- see Concert page 5
Page 2 — The Observer Learn to fly in your own back yard: ROTC style by JENNY MATHEWS and JONATHAN MODIE Staff Writers The Air Force and Midstate Avia­ tion signed a contract which allows ROTC students to receive flight instruction while attending Central, Capt. Marcia Lee Weiss, public affairs officerfortheU.S. Air Force, said Monday. Midstate Aviation, a flight in­ struction school at Bower's Field, provides the Private Pilot Licens­ ing Screening Program (PPLSP) so cadets can get a private pilot li­ cense. It is a course entry require­ ment for undergraduate pilot train­ ing without a degree in flight tech­ nology. "It's a chance for students early in the game to get their private pilot license before moving on to active duty," Weiss said. "I think it's a great opportunity for students to start off early and see if that's really what they want to be a part of." Taking the PPLSP at Central means students won't have to take the Light Aircraft Training Program at Hondo Air Force Base in San Antonio, Texas which can disrupt the cadets' regular class schedules, Weiss said. The cost per cadet is $2,400, paid for by the Air Force, but "it will vary depending on what takes place," Weiss said. The program is offered to juniors and seniors in Air Force ROTC, making up the 74 cadets in the program.

Thursday March 1, 1990 The Observer — Page 3 Unpaid parking tickets total $15,600 by HELEN FOLEY Staff Writer Since April 1988, car wind­ shields have been cluttered with more than $15,600 worth of outstanding parking tickets. Not all of it is collectable, said Wendell Hill, director of auxiliary services, because many who receive tickets are either non-students or local vendors who are on campus for only a short time. Both Hill and Barbara Grover, parking infraction coordinator, said the current policy concerning outstanding tickets is effective. Individuals written tickets are sent a letter in the mail detailing the charge and fine. The charge is then added to the student's account. Students can take the ticket to a traffic appeals court on campus. The court, made up of volunteers, handles up to 65 appeals each week. Those who don't take the in­ fraction notice to the campus safety office within seven days can expect the fine to go up in another week. Fines may be as small as $7 for overtime parking or as a expensive as $100 for using a false permit. According to Hill and Grover, the parking charge is just like any other fee — if left unpaid, it can prevent students This poor soul forgot he was parked in a 30-minute zone. (Photo by Walt Atkinson) from pre-registering or receiving degrees. Money from parking fines is used for the maintaining of records, said Hill. Those who wish to contest a charge can submit an appeals form to Grover at Barge Hall 201.

WALKER Staff Writer The forms students fill out to evaluate their instructors will be updated and changed to suit differ­ ent teaching situations, said Gre­ gory Trujillo, associate provost for Institutional Research and Assess­ ment. Central has been modeling the University of Washington evalu­ ation forms and revised it, Trujillo said. "The forms now are not the best," Trujillo said. "There are lab situ­ ations, lecture situations, and others that are all different. We're thinking up every possible situation to give more choice to the instructors. We'll probably have four or five different forms." Trujillo said the new evaluation forms will debut at the end of fall quarter 1990. The information students give in teacher evaluations can be useful to the teacher and to department chairs, he said. "It's very useful to give feed­ back," Trujillo said. "Most profes­ sors welcome the chance to make themselves better. Students should take advantage of the opportunity." The evaluation forms are a serv­ ice offered to the instructor that can be used for ranking or promotion. "I use them periodically because page one of the professional record upon which promotion and merit is based requires I demonstrate that I'm a competent teacher," said Rex Wirth, associate professor of politi­ cal science. "But students shouldn'tconsider this as the only way instructors are judged for promotion," Trujillo said. "There are other factors to be con­ sidered, also. There are also tenured professors who use them!' Trujillo said that only honest feedback is wanted. "If the feedback is emotional, it's not honest. If, for instance, you work three to four weeks on 2 paper that you thought deserved a B, and you only got a D, and you \vrite on the evaluation form that the teacher is a bad instructor, that's not honest feedback." Not all instructors use evalu­ ation forms, but results are avail­ able to participating instructors af­ ter grades are in. n UNDER CHIROPRACTIC OFFICE • v '^5 Dr. Maynard Linder Dr. Sandy Linder Dr. Myron Linder Largest Chiropractic center in Kittitas County Emergency care available Chiropractic care for sport related injuries located next to campus 962-2570 1011 N.

Manuscripts need to be typed and double spaced, including a front page with the author's name. Central senior Stephen Halleck will be admitted to Central's Wil­ liam O. Douglas Honors College during spring quarter 1990. Halleck will be one of approximately 30 students who are chosen each year to enter the college which is cen­ tered around the study of the West­ ern world's classic literature. Central senior Warren J. Oldham is the 1990 winner of a two-year full-tuition Literature and Science Scholarship to Central. Oldham is a student in the Douglas Honors College. The scholarship is ear­ marked for students of sophomore or higher class standing with double majors or major-minor combina­ tions in literature and biological science, physical science or mathe­ matics. Two Central students, senior Jean Jorgensen and sophomore Christina Pykonen, are winners of the 1990 James McGiffin foreign language scholarships. Each received $500 for winter and spring quarter study at Central. The foreign language faculty chooses two winners annu­ ally. ATTENTION GRADUAT­ ING SENIORS!

Receiving her masters' degree in social work at the University of Wisconsin in Madison, Ruffer worked at Fred Hutchinson as a research project interviewer, design­ ing health education programs on breast cancer. Ruffer said she took the position at Central because it combines a variety of her interests. She said she enjoys the university setting where she said "a lot goes on." The center serves four purposes: to provide academic services per­ taining to women's issues, a place for women to socialize and feel welcome, to promote personal safety and make available support and self-help groups and present national and local speakers on is­ sues affecting women. She wants to provide education programs and films dealing with women's issues and discussions. Ruffer said she wants to provide a support network for students' needs and act as a resource for fac­ ulty and departments. Ruffer said she looks forward to helping coordinate events for Women's History Month during March. Ruffer said this annual event includes exhibits and displays, his­ torical dramatizations, music, film and comedy lectures. She said she'hopes the activities will help women and men experi­ ence personal growth and a new understanding of the contributions women made throughout history. Ruffer said many students, espe­ cially males, tend to shy away from these services because of what she calls the "one-dimensional role" we each play. Women display only feminine characteristics and men masculine. She said these roles can be expanded. "The center isn't only for women," Ruffer said. "It's hoped everyone will feel welcome and comfortable in coming here." DRUG AWARENESS WEEK. Mar. 5-9 THINK ABOUT IT! for more info, stop by the D.A.P.P.E.R.

Thursday March 1,1990 Simulator fate rests in Senate hands by JIM THOMSEN Managing Editor ^ A decision on whether a $650,OCX) flight simulator for Central's flight technology department will make it into this year's House supplemen­ tal budget in Olympia was expected to be handed down late this week, according to David Schaffert, Central's student legislative repre­ sentative. The simulator, a key item of leg­ islation for university lobbyists, has made it into the budgets of the governor and the Senate, but faces a critical roadblock in the House, Schaffert said. "It appears the simulator might be used as a bargaining chip be­ tween the House and Senate," Schaf­ fert said, alluding to partisan poli­ tics between the Republican-con- trolled Senate and the Democrat- led House. Schaffert said Gary Locke (D — Seattle), the chairman of the appro­ priations committee in the House, is "philosophically" opposed to in­ cluding the simulator in the supple­ mental budget, and Speaker of the House Joe King (D — Vancouver) ver) is willing to go along with Locke's recommendation. But the support among lawmak­ ers for the simulator may be strong enough to offset Locke and King, Schaffert said. "It's really too close to call," he said. Central President Donald Garrity was optimistic, however. "It's not dead," he said Tuesday night "There's strong support for it on both sides." The Observer — Page 5 We offer .

"We're looking at it as a service. However, we' re going to have a decent chance of breaking even." Drinkwater noted several univer­ sity departments showing interest in Ticketmaster's services, includ­ ing the Office of Resident Living, Intramural Sports and University Recreation. Group field trips would be easier to prepare with an outlet readily available. Putting Central events on the Ticketmaster system is another at­ traction, Drinkwater said.

CLUB SPOTLIGHT CTEA: Dedicated to Education By Kevin Hughes Central Technology Education Association is on the cutting edge of education. CTEA is taking the extra step to prepare themselves to teach students of the Twenty-first century. Technology Education in its broadest definition is the application of scientific principles to technology. Every year CTEA devotes itself to at least one large project and several smaller ones. This year, for example, CTEA has designed, sponsored and organized a Challenge Contest for Technology Education high school students. This Challenge will take place at the Washington Technology Education Association spring conference, March 16-17th, at the Yakima Convention Center. The challenge criteria calls for students to design a land vehicle which will travel exactly 20 feet. This vehicle must also be propelled by the energy of a brick falling three feet. Points will be derived from speed and proximity to the 20-foot mark. This contest, which will expand the problem solving skills of high school students, reflects the types of programs and curriculum in the forefront of Technology Education today. The spring contest has not only given high school Technology Education students a challenge, but also CTEA members. Problems such as financing, designing contest rules and criteria, mailing 600 entry forms, and the fabrication and design of the track with automatic electronic speed and distance meas­ uring devices have put to use the diversified talents of CTEA members. This opportunity for high school Technology Education students would not be possible without the commitment and dedication of CTEA members and officials. Gordon Althauser is President of CTEA, Tom Hoiland Vice President, and Mitchell Smith, Treasurer. Have Questions You Would Come down to the SUB and try out our new board.

Thursday March 1,1990 The Observer — Page 7 Opinions Wildcats win war of courts and class T his time, Central gets the last laugh. Okay, the jokes were pretty funny. In the Feb. 9 issue of The West- em Front, Western's newspaper, three ^ pages were devoted to the originally scheduled Feb. 10 contest between the Central and Western men's basketball teams. There were three opinion pieces, entitled "Central, you suck," "Central: Where hicks and idiotlope ^ roam," and "How the competitors compare" (the latter concludes: "The obvious edge goes to the Vikings.") The following observations were made about Central: * The Central athletic department is ^ considering going Astro-Turf — so the homecoming queen won't graze on the playing field. * Why do they brand cattle in Ellensburg? To tell them apart from the freshman girls. * How do you find Ellensburg? Go straight over the mountains 'til you can no longer stand the smell, then hang a left. * Central students drink a lot of iiiii SIIIII itiit iSSSSSSI beer. They'd like to drink cock­ tails, but some­ body lost the ice recipe. Hilarious, right? We think so. Anyway, the game was rescheduled to Feb. 20 due to pass closures. True to form, the passes were shut down that morning and all but six team members were forced to wait. The game was delayed an hour-and-a-half until Coach Dean Nicholson and the rest of the team could make it up to Bellingham, where, bus-lagged or not, they went out and beat the snot out of the over­ confident Vikings, 89-75. As if Western showed any class before the contest, it showed less when.Viking coach Brad Jackson confronted Nicholson after the final buzzer, screaming that the Wildcats should have arrived earlier. Was Jim Toole robbed in this year's NAIA District 1 Player-Of- The-Year voting? "I don't know what they want us to do," Nicholson told reporters. 'Two passes were closed. "He said he'd never believe another word I say," he added. "I lost respect for him. We drove seven friggin' hours in the car." It's highly doubtful Jackson (or for that matter, Nicholson) would have wet his pants had the game been in Ellensburg and the pass conditions been similarly uncooperative for his Vikings. The delay simply gave Jackson and his players more time to practice and plan strategy, and in Prospect makes their sound thrashing all the more inexplicable. The worst insult was yet to come, however. Saturday the NAIA District 1 coaches' poll — which Brad Jackson heads — named Brad Jackson Coach of the Year. The same poll also named Western point guard Manny Kimmie player of the year over Central's Jim Toole, who shut out Kimmie in the Wildcat victory. Toole did make the first-team all-star squad, accompanied by three Vikings — Kimmie, center Ed Briggs and forward Todd McAllister. The Wildcat players are outraged and upset, and they should be. Brad Jackson has coached Western five years and has won the Coach of the Year award three years running, though his team has made it to the NAIA National Tournament — over Central — just once. Dean Nicholson has taken the Wildcats to nationals 22 times in his 26 years as head coach, and he's gotten the award only seven times. The season's over. Both Western and Central have made it to the playoffs. Once they dispatch their first-round foes as expected, they will likely meet again in a best-of-three series March 3 that determines who goes to the nationals in Kansas City. We're looking forward to seeing just how The Western Front intends to preview that showdown. If we're not too busy tipping over cows, that is. Central forward David Jones' eyes lit up when he was asked if he's eager to play Western again. "I'd love it. We've got something to prove," he said. May the classier team win. Letters Letters to the Editor Central 'robbed' by NAIA's failure to pick Nicholson To The Editor: We cannot believe that after 26 years of hard work and complete $ dedication that this conference did not select Coach Dean Nicholson as the NAIA District 1 Coach of the Year. If you were to evaluate any of the 26 teams coached by Dean ^ Nicholson at this university, this year's team would probably be ranked among the least-talented but bestrfunctioned group ever to play here. He has a school-record five freshmen (two who start) on this year's team. As if that were not I noticeable enough, Nicholson re­ turned only two starters from last year. In addition, two players—Norm Calhoun and Richard Ramey — who were expected to be major contributors were lost for various reasons. Coach Nicholson has turned what was supposed to be a rebuilding year into a district-winning con­ tender, ranked 13th nationally in the latest NAIA coaches' poll. ^ We feel the university was robbed, and more importantly we feel Coach Nicholson has been left unrewarded for one of his best coaching per­ formances ever. The District-champion men's basketball team Observer termed tool of 'parasitic' administrators To The Editor: I strongly agree with the section in The Observer entitled "What's in store forCWU's future?" (BOD ad­ vertisement, 2/22). Drew Wood warns of the loss of the true educational mission of the university, and Jon Elliot warns us of centralization and bureaucrati­ zation. These two phenomena are interrelated. As the power-hungry consolidates its dictatorial control over the university, it results in the loss of the educational goal of higher education. The goals of the administration have nothing to do with providing a well-rounded individual able to think for himself. Its goal is per­ sonal power, glory and money. To this end they cut programs in the liberal arts to fund pet projects which bring fame to the university and therefore, themselves. These in­ clude various frivolities such as a new research lab for the benefit of one professor, a huge, extravagant sports facility and renovation of Shaw-Smyser Hall. In order to rectify this gross situ­ ation, we need to get rid of the para­ sitic administration and return to the original means of decision­ making — committees of faculty and students working together to further educational goals. The U.S. is supposed to be a democracy and this situation at Central is incom­ patible with the democratic ideal. I don't know why I bother writ­ ing this—I believe The Observer is the mouthpiece of the administra­ tion and won't have the guts to pub­ lish something so controversial. Andrew Skeen Insulting opinion ignores area's music options To The Editor: If Great White were to play at Central it could be a positive "big- name" event. It could bring in money, publicity and famous enter­ tainment. Otherwise, the article is pathetic, ignorant and close-minded. This article stated Ellensburg is "...a town where there is very little to do," and other than partying, "there is nothing else to do." Such shallow statements issued by The Observer are ill-founded and depressing in that this "labora­ tory newspaper" failed to mention Hertz Hall recitals/performances, Harry B's cafe at Barto,Papa John's, various acts in the SUB pit during the week, residence hall musical events and Hal Holmes Center events. Did this opinion suggest a big-name concert such as Great White would inhibit alcohol use? You know it would give many people a reason to get drunk. This opinion article is suppos­ edly "...the view of the majority of The Observer's editorial board." We submit the views in the article are insulting toward the students, fac­ ulty and staff of Central and the town of Ellensburg and that the article is simply wrong.

Page 8 — The Observer Thursday March 1, 1990 m Scene Veteran plays Gulliver this weekend by J.R. WALKER Staff Writer There's more to Todd Golberg than his lead role in the Central Drama department's production of "Gulliver's Travels." The 21-year-old junior is a vet­ eran of some 18 plays and hopes to turn that experience into an acting career on Broadway. Golberg didn't always want to be an actor and came upon it by acci­ dent while attending Richland High School. "When I was a junior in high school, I tried out for the play "Music Man," Golberg said. "Someone dragged me up there. I tried out for the chorus, and they ended up giv­ ing me the lead." "Music Man" gave way to other roles in plays like "M.A.S.H.," "Dracula" and "Annie Get Your Gun." Golberg also got experience pro­ ducing when his high school did William Shakespeare's "A Midsum­ mer Night's Dream." "I hated Shakespeare at the time and refused to do it," Golberg said. "So I produced the play. It was good experience, but I wouldn't want to do it as a job." Golberg said it was important to be on the other side of the working relationship between stage workers and the actors, since it gives you a perspective of what it takes to put a play together. "It's pretty tough," he said. Golberg also worked full time as an electrician and sound person in high school, coordinating these ele­ ments for various plays. After high school, Golberg got his Associate of Arts degree at Co- Todd Golberg, far right, rehearses with other members of the last of "Gulliver's Travels." The play runs this weekend only.

"So your chance to get lead roles are out the window, due to the age difference in stu­ dents." Golberg found that older students will get the lead roles if the play calls for a mature adult. "It was hard not to take it person­ ally," Golberg said. "I was crushed. I was a big fish who became a little fish, but I'm over it now." Golberg, who plays Gulliver, said he finds performing in front of chil­ dren a delight. "I've never done children's plays before," Golberg said. "It's just a blast. You get away with a lot more because it (the play), is not so con­ crete. It's fun and artsy." Golberg will return spring quar­ ter along with the rest of the cast to perform in Olympia April 16-20. After graduating from Central, Golberg hopes to attend the Amer­ ica Musical and Dramatic Acad­ emy in Los Angeles. The prestig­ ious school boasts such graduates as Richard Burton, Elizabeth Tay- lor and Liza Minelli. "I'm going to audition for the school this year, just to get my name in, "he said. "That way they '11 know who I am when I graduate and See Goldberg page 9 Central graduate's dream cut short by cancer by TRICIA REIMEN Staff Writer Talk to any prospective Air Force pilot in Central's ROTC program and you will hear dreams of blue skies, inverted dives and unrestricted climbs. Jim Nine used to talk about those things, too, until he was diagnosed as having malignant melanoma, a severe form of cancer. Nine graduated last spring and was two days away from being commissioned as a second lieuten­ ant in the Air Force, when Capt. Jack Nettis, former Commandant of Cadets, now stationed in Germany, noticed the lump on his neck and refused to commission him until he had it looked at. "I had the lump cut out and exam­ ined, and it turned out to be a malig­ nant melanoma," Nine said in an interview with the "Tri-City Her­ ald." Because of the cancer, Nine was denied his Air Force career. Being in ROTC involves a great many days and nights of detach­ ment activities, meetings, physical training, paperwork, and class. It also includes always being on call. A dream to fly began when Nine was, "three or four years old. I've always wanted to fly, to be a pilot in the Air Force." After graduating from Columbia High School in 1983, Nine spent some time working in California, then returned to go to school at Columbia Basin College. He be­ came a volunteer firefighter for Walla Walla County Fire District No. 5 in Burbank. He was studying electrical engi­ neering at CBC, but heard about Central's ROTC program and de­ cided to try that. In 1987, Nine spent six weeks doing his field training at McChord AirForceBaseinTacoma.In 1988, he went through Light Aircraft Training at Lackland AFB in Texas, where he flew solo in the Air Force's T-41 A, a plane similar to a Cessna. During his senior year, he not only managed an ROTC career, but maintained a 3.57 grade point aver­ age, making him a Dean's Scholar. But his dream of being a pilot vanished when the cancer appeared. Because a junior or senior in the ROTC program is what's called a "contracted cadet," Nine did have a legal commitment to the Air Force. Central graduate Jim Nine has a positive attitude despite fighting cancer. (Photo Courtesy of Paul Randies) After the beginning of a cadet's junior year, he or she is sworn into the Air Force, is paid a monthly allowance and is given the same rights as a reservist. If this contract is broken, the cadet is often held responsible for the money the Air Force invested in his or her education. Because of this commitment, Nine was honorably discharged from the Air Force Reserves. Because he was not commis­ sioned, his family, not the Air Force, is liable for his exorbitant medical bills.

Thursday March 1, 1990 Speaker uses personal experience to enlighten by JILL BOCOL Staff Writer The upcoming 90s were closely associated with the 60s by speaker and Civil Rights activist Bob Zell- ner. Zellner enlightened Central students last Thursday about the civil rights movement which took place 30 years ago. He discussed his personal experi­ ences with the movement as well as the FBI involvement, police in­ volvement and the accurateness of the portrayal of the' civil rights movement in the 1988 film "Mis­ sissippi Burning." "During 1964 it would have been very rare to see a black FBI agent, as shown in the movie. The only black FBI agents in J. Edgar Hoover's bureau were the 'special agents' that tended the garden or were the drivers of the cars," Zellner ex­ plained. The inspiration that involved Zellner in the fight for civil rights occurred during his college days in 1957 at Huntington College in Mobile, Ala. Zellner and four other students were involved in a group project which introduced them to the racial inequalities in the South. According to Zellner, the students were threatened by the Alabama attorney general when they persisted in looking for information beyond what was necessary for the project. Zellner recalled the account humorously, saying the attorney general told them they "were under Communist rule." After graduating from Hunting­ ton with scholastic honors, Zellner's dedication to civil rights increased. "Coming from a family with a history of involvement with the Klu Klux Klan, it was a bit unusual for others to see me as a civil rights activist," he said. He said he was branded a "nigger lover" and a "Communist" by white opposition. When Zellner decided to become involved with a group of civil rights activists he subjected himself to a self-sacrificing endeavor. The group called the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee was the Golberg: veteran plays Gulliver Continued from page 8 audition again." Golberg said he would like to do acting on or off Broadway, but will avoid television and movie work. "I think I'll always be cast as the romantic lead or the villain, which is too bad," Golberg said. "It's limiting and that means a lot of work down the tube." Golberg cites Alan Alda and Martin Sheen as his favorite actors and those he wants to emulate. Acting isn't Golberg's only tal­ ent as he also plays trumpet in Jazz Choir and Jazz Band, adding addi­ tional experience to his resume'. Golberg made one change he made in preparing for more impor­ tant roles was losing 60 pounds. "I didn't want to feel sorry for myself anymore," Golberg said. "Besides, how many romantic leads are you going to get if you have a great big pot belly?" Golberg is now prepared to at­ temptatthebig time. He's getting a teaching degree to fall back on, but his goal is most actors' dream — Broadway. starting point of what Zellner de­ scribed as his "real education." During 1964, black students were participating in sit-in rallies. They started when black students were not allowed to sit in certain areas of restaurants. The black students would sit in the restricted seats for hours every day demanding rights. The other form of opposition was the "freedom rides." Buses of black people and civil rights workers trav­ eled all over the South on the buses. Both of these forms of non-vio­ lent rebellion ended in beatings by mobs of KKK members and police. "One bus traveled from Birming­ ham, Alabama, where the passen­ gers were brutally beaten, to Mo­ bile, Alabama, where the same people were beaten again by police and members of the community," Zellner said. Zellner explained how the offi­ cials provided minimal protection by recounting how one member of the crowd tried to gouge out his eye while he was being beaten. After the beating and being knocked unconscious, Zellner woke to find an FBI agent reassuring him that he "wrote everything down that hap­ pened to him by the crowd." According to Zellner, Hoover, the head of the FBI, refused to involve FBI agents in the protection of the blacks and civil rights workers because he believed "segregation See Zellner page 11 The Observer — Page 9 "Gulliver's Travels," McConnell Auditorium, 7:30 p.m. Wrestling National Meet at Kenosha, Wise, (through Mar. 3) s.

Page 10 — The Observer Thursday March 1, 1990 Pulitzer Prize-winning work featured at concert The Pulitzer Prize-winning mu­ sical work, "Music for Prague 1968," will be performed in concert by the Central Wind Ensemble, under the direction of music profes­ sor Larry Gookin, Tuesday at 8 p.m. in the Hertz Recital Hall. This award-winning and moving piece inspired by the Prague spring was written by Karel Husa, an American of Czechoslovakian ori­ gin. Husa was commissioned in 1968 by the Ithaca College Concert Band to write the piece for the capital city of Czechoslovakia. He composed what Central assistant professor Gookin describes as a "classic of our time." Incorporated in this work are many memories of Prague, accord­ ing to Husa, including the sound of bells, so familiar in the city of "Hundreds of Towers." The bells are known in the city's history for both calls of victory as well as distress. Another main theme in this piece is the 15th Century Hussite was song " Ye Warriors of God and Law" Guitar conceit late-night affair A variety of solo and ensemble acoustic guitar arrangements will be presented in a free guitar concert tomorrow at 11 p.m. in Hertz Re­ cital Hall. This quarterly presentation of guitar music will feature the talents of several music students perform­ ing works by composers ranging from the ragtime music of Scott Joplin to the jazz sounds of Keith Jarrett The late night guitar conceit se­ ries, which came about because of difficulty in scheduling Hertz Re­ cital Hall during prime hours, has become somewhat of a new tradi­ tion among guitar students and concert goers alike. According to music instructor Tom Bourne, it has turned out to be "a really nice time to have a con­ cert."

Gookin expressed his belief that the piece is particularly pertinent given he reform that is currently sweeping the central and eastern European countries. He added that the ensemble will perform only two movements of the piece, given the time constraints of the concert. In addition to Husa's work, the ensemble will perform "Overture to Candide" by Leonard Bernstein, "An Original Suite" by Gordon Jacob, "Suite of American Dances" by Robert Russell Bennett, "Na­ tional Anthem March" by E.E. Bagley and " Asuka" by an unknown Japanese composer. The Japanese piece will be con­ ducted by visiting professor Men- oru Tezuka of Shimane University, Matsue City, Japan. Nine: battling severe cancer Continued from page 8 body," Nine said. He was released two weeks ago from the Kadlec Medical Center. At last count, 20 lumps had formed on his back and chest, and the cancer has spread to the bones of his left arm, leg and right ankle. A neck dissection on July 20 last year took the lymph nodes from his neck and shoulder. The doctors thoughtall cancer had been removed. Lumps appeared in Oc­ tober and November, but were re­ moved by surgery. Too many ap­ peared by December for surgery. "A bone scan was done, and this showed that the melanoma had spread to some of my bones," Nine said. Because the cancer in his left leg had debilitated the bone so much, doctors believed the leg could be broken by the slightest pressure. Even walking was dangerous. "A metal rod was put through the middle of my leg," Nine said. In January, a body scan showed a tumor on his right kidney and his colon. While home in Wallula, a tumor blocking his intestine rup­ tured and Nine underwent more sur­ gery. Nine will need chemotherapy when he recovers from his most recent surgery, but has been told therapy is no cure. He is hoping to become involved in an experimental treatment pro­ gram at the University of Washing­ ton, but expenses are an issue. The Department of Social and Health Services, which has covered the medical expenses so far, will not pay for the experimental surgery. This surgery could run to $15,000, with $6,700 up front. Despite all the odds, Nine's fam­ ily and girlfriend are giving him strong support, as do his firefight- ing friends from Fire District No. 5, and the cadets of CWU's Detach­ ment 895. Capt. Greg Tate, current Com­ mandant of Cadets, thinks very highly of Nine, and had several good things to say abouthim. Capt. Nettis had started a "Warrior Award" for the cadet most repre­ senting warrior readiness, and Nine was the first recipient. "Jim Nine was an incredibly great guy," said Capt. Tate. "He was extremely reliable, selfless, dedicated and a pleasure to be around. I am convinced he would have made an outstanding officer. He created a computer program of land battles for the AS 300 class (juniors) without any help—he is selfless."

Pep band contributes to team's effort by GINA ZUKOSKI Staff Writer You are warming the bleachers of Nicholson Pavilion on a Friday Night, witnessing the massacre of Lewis-Clark State (or countless other schools) by the Wildcats. Suddenly, either during a time­ out, halftime, or as you depart cele­ brating yet another victory, you will hear them ... almost hidden away in the southeast corner of the stands... it's the Central pep band. The pep band is an element that contributes to the overall effort by Central's basketball team to make games entertaining and enjoyable, student director Don Immel said. Under the advisement of music professor Larry Gookin, Immel, a senior majoring in music educa­ tion, is responsible for the musi­ cians in the pep band. He must assure their attendance, supervise the setup and tear-down of equip­ ment and conduct the band. The pep band has 18 members with a standard "big band" instru­ mentation which consists of five trumpets, four trombones, five saxophones and a rhythm section. The musicians are all music majors at Central, chosen from about 30 people who auditioned in CWU invites HS ensembles Pep band members Kari Giorgi and Fred Hawkinson perform at a basketball game. (Photo by Chris Stone) early January. The band does not rehearse, but just show up at the 10 regular-season home games. For their efforts, the band mem­ bers receive a small monetary compensation, a Central sweatshirt and free admission to all the games. There are other benefits that pep band members take advantage of. Their seating location provides excellent viewing opportunities for the games. Also, sightieading and playing musical charts without rehearsal adds to their musical experience and expands their capabilities. In addition, "It's a great chance to watch girls," trumpeter Jason White said. Immel said he often receives positive comments from game- goers regarding the pep band. Imme also encourages anyone with comments or even song requests to come talk to him at the games. "It's a good feeling, knowing that the pep band is noticed and appreciated. It's always a joy to contribute to the game effort," he said. by GINGER EHRHARDT Staff Writer Bands from schools throughout Washington will meet today through Saturday in Hertz Hall for the High School Invitational Wind Ensemble Festival. The festival includes rehearsals, clinics and performances by 11 bands handpicked by Central music director Larry Gookin. According to Gookin, there is a long waiting list for schools want­ ing to attend. He said the best groups in the state are chosen. "I try to mix them," Gookin said. "I pick the most outstanding and also those who would learn from the experience. They are all fine groups." The clinicians featured this year are Geoffrey Brand and William Johnson. Brand conducts at the Royal Academy of Music at Lon­ don. Johnson directs bands at Cali­ fornia Poly technic State University. "The Royal Academy of Music is probably one of the best wind en­ sembles in the world," Gookin said. Central's Jazz Band, Symphonic Band and Wind Ensemble will also perform in the festival. Perform­ ances will start on the hour, accord­ ing to Gookin. Anyone is welcome. Zellner: students enlightened Continued from page 9 was the policy of the state." Despite the lack of cooperation from officials and the federal gov­ ernment, Zellner believes the South is stronger. "The last thing for Southerners to change in regard to the black com­ munity, is their rhetoric," Zellner said. "The civil rights movement may have abolished discrimination, but it did not do away with preju­ dice entirely. "You show me one person that isn't prejudiced in one way or an­ other and you will show me an alien, "said Zellner. Zellner is currently working on a book titled "Wrong Side of Murder Creek," which he hopes will por­ tray a more realistic account of the true struggles faced by blacks and civil rights workers. Orchestra to present free concert Wednesday The Central Symphony Orches­ tra will present a free concert Wednesday at 8 p.m. in Hertz Re­ cital Hall. The orchestra, conducted by music professor Daniel Bald­ win, will present pieces by Schubert, Beethoven and Moussorgsky. Among the works to be per­ formed is Franz Schubert's Sym­ phony No. 8 in B minor. This unfin­ ished symphony has only two movements instead of four, and has created much debate among musi­ cians and historians, said Baldwin. The orchestra will also perform Beethoven's Piano Concerto No. 5 in E Rat Major, and Moussorgsky ^'s "Night on Bald Mountain." Pianist Fritz Gechter, winner of the 1990 Concerto Competitiion, will be the featured soloist.

Page 12 — The Observer Thursday, March 1,1990 Etc... Oh, for the days of Leif Garrett and Scooby Doo MIKE BUSH I would like to take this opportunity to thank, from the bottom of my heart, the various television and newspaper services around the United States for bringing those oh-so-cute and pixie-ish boys with the "really bitchin'" haircuts — The New Kids on the Block—into our living rooms on a near daily basis. Speaking for the entire nation, we Ameri­ cans just can't get enough of them. Right. Who are we, the nation, kidding? In an extremely scientific poll which was taken from a random sampling of the four people who were cavorting in my apartment last Friday night, 75 percent of Americans really, really hate the group to the point of wanting to burn down any record store that sells their albums. The other 25 percent would like to see them strung up by their eyelids inside a flaming record store. Let's get something straight.

COLLEGE PRESS SERVICE Puzzle solution page 15 Nort Compos Mentis & 9. "The New Kids Who Have Been Decapitated By Sharp Kitchen Implements." I know this is true. I know this because — I am getting old. I'm only 23, but it suddenly occurred to me that I relate much better with adult-type persons with kids than I do with high school-age persons. I'm not saying I'm going to spontaneously run out and buy some brown Bermuda shorts and dress socks in which to mow the lawn, and I won't be acquiring a stationary exercise bicycle anytime soon (two sure signs of middle age) but I do strongly believe that conven­ ience stores should only allow two kids on the premises at any one time (a sure sign of adulthood). This made me painfully aware of the fact that I just don't enjoy the things that younger kids do. And they hate the things I love. The New Kids are a prime example. Here we have a group which is enjoying phenome­ nal success, is raking in money in truckloads and is being hailed as "the new Beatles" by countless worm-infested media brains. Kids absolutely wet their collective pants over this group. I, on the other hand, see a group that styles their hair with enough oil to heat San Fran­ cisco for a year, sounds a little like a small kitten getting an "Epi-Jady" shave for the first time and despite their success, doesn't even play their own instruments. So, like so many other things in this world, Adults hate 'em. Children love 'em. And the media Keeps promoting 'em. Why? Apparently, the media can't tell the difference between Adults and Children. That's why I'm here—to explain the differ­ ences. First, since we're already on the subject, let's go over entertainment. Adults enjoy anything made before 1980. Adults can tell you exactly what the plot is in any "Brady Bunch" episode within the first 30 seconds of the show. Adults can tell you who played Lily Munster on "The Munsters" (Yvonne DeCarlo). Adults can sing the theme songs to over 97 different television shows (my friends and I take requests at The Tav on Friday nights). Adults would also like to spend an hour alone in a room with Pee-Wee Herman, provided they could choose their own torture devices. Adults tend to be ex­ tremely violent towards anyone named Pee- Wee—it brings back bad memories of their own potty training. On the other hand, Children think Pee-Wee is just grand. They happily and routinely watch sitcoms that feature either 1) Puppets or 2) Good-looking young men with dumb, dangerously fashionable hair. Their idea of a great conglomeration of talent would be a Greg Goessman variety show starring Johnny Depp, Alf and the Smurfs. Which conveniently brings us to: Cartoons. Adults rarely watch cartoons, yet they know a good one when they see it. "Speed Racer," with Racer X, Chim-Chim, Trixie, Sparky and Pops was a good cartoon. "Scooby 'If it wasn't for those meddling kids' Doo" was a classic. Most of us remem­ ber "Josie and the Pussycats" as being just about the sexiest women to ever grace a Saturday morning television screen. But most of all, these cartoons were original, they didn't rely on toys for their origins. Adults have no use for any cartoon fash­ ioned after a toy. This includes the Trans­ formers, Pac-Man, The Smurfs, Star and the Care Bears. Our idea of a good bear is one who messes with the park ranger's mind, steals picnic baskets and is "smarter than the average bear." We do not take kindly to bears who are huggable. We would rather see them get into a disastrous swamp accident involv­ ing Wally Gator and his speed boat. Another difference between the age groups involves attire. Kids today are extremely fashionable. This means they glow in the dark. Neon clothes are very "bitchin"' by today's standards. If ever a family was to crash their car on a dark night, they would have no need for flares. They could just place their kids out in the middle of the street to divert traffic away from the scene. Of course, if I was to approach the accident I would immediately swerve toward the kids and have to clean fluorescent mate­ rial out of my grill the next morning but it would be worth it. Kids are too fashionable. We should make them look as stupid as we did when we were in junior high. Their clothing purchases should be limited to terry-cloth shirts, round-toed sneakers and bell-bottomed jeans. We're talking about some big bells here •— big enough to hide small farm animals under. While we're at it, in an effort to save society, we should take additional steps to making them understand what we were like when we were children. Make them get bowl- shaped haircuts. Force them to listen to the Bee Gees. Give them regular exams on Par­ tridge Family episodes. Poster their walls with photos of Kristy McNichol and Shaun Cassidy — in roller skates. In the meantime we'll also have to wean them from their current loves. This means barring Kirk Cameron from our living rooms. This means holding large neighborhood bonfires featuring bright orange, green or pink clothes. Most of all, this means teaching them that The New Kids on the Block are direct descendents of Satan himself. It's probably not that far from the truth. Rat / f * 4 •i $ £ Happy student campers
Thursday March 1,1990 Sports Sports Sports The Observer— Page 13 Sports Wildcats win district: playoffs tonight by PHIL HOFFMAN Staff Writer Central hosts Whitworth College tonight in a District 1 semifinal game at 7:30 p.m. The winner of tonights game will advance to the best-of-three cham­ pionship series. That series will decide who advances to the NAIA National Tournament. If Central wins tonight, it will host the first game of the championship series Saturday night at 7:30 p.m. If the favored teams advance, Central will host Western Washington. Central defeated Whitworth twice during the regular season. The Wildcats posted a 79-66 victory in Ellensburg and a 73-63 win in Spokane. Whitworth finished the season at 13-5 in district and 20-6 overall. For the Wildcats to advance, they'll have to shut down the Pi­ rates Randy Smith and Todd Mar­ tin. The duo finished second and third respectively in district scor­ ing. Smith, who earned First Team All-District honors, scored 32 points Toole given first team honors by CHRIS AMES Sports Editor Jim Toole, Central's star point guard was named to the District 1 first team. Toole was the only unani­ mous selection. Wildcats David Jones and Scott Kenney were given honorable mention honors. Joining Toole on the first team were Western players Mannie Kimmie, Todd McAllister and Ed Briggs Whitworth's Randy Smith. LCSC's Victor Wells Del Willis (Alaska Pacific) Aaron Hansen (UPS) John King (Seattle) and Andrew Steinfield (Simon Fraser). Kimmie was named the Player- of-the-Year. Western coach Brad Jackson was given Coach-of-the- Year honors. in the first meeting between the two schools. Another Pirate to watch is point guard Steve Mihas, who led the district in assists. Central comes into the game rid­ ing a 15-game winning streak, which has pushed it up to the 12th spot in national rankings. The streak is the second longest in coach Dean Nicholson's 26 years at Central. The Central Washington Univer­ sity men's basketball team has fire in its eyes heading into the playoffs, after closing out the regular season with 15 consecutive wins and win­ ning 23 of its last 24 games. The Wildcats finished the regular season with a 16-2 District 1 record, 26-4 overall, thus earning the top berth in the District 1 tour­ nament.. Central concluded their regular season with a three-game sweep of the Alaska teams, Sheldon Jackson, Alaska Southeast and Alaska Pa­ cific. The biggest problem confronting the 'Cats was getting to Alaska on time. "It was a really tough trip for us," CWU coach Dean Nicholson said. Central was to leave Seattle- Tacoma Airport at 7:30 a.m. Thurs­ day, but were delayed once by fog, and a second time due to hydraulic problems with their plane. The 'Cats finally departed Sea- Tac at 4:30 p.m., and arrived in Sitka, Alaska at 6:30, one hour before the original tipoff time. Even though the start was de­ layed by one hour, the 'Cats held the Seals in check most of the sec­ ond half, going on to harpoon the Seals of Sheldon Jackson 82-67. Central made due without lead­ ing rebounder David Jones, who was ejected in the opening minutes of the contest after receiving three technical fouls for arguing a call. "Losing Jones wasn't a factor because they (Seals) don't really have a dominant big man in the middle," Nicholson said. Scott Kenney made up for Jones' absence by tossing in a career-high 28 points on 11 of 17 shooting, and pulling down six rebounds. Jason Pepper had 13 points and Jay Shinnick added 12 to the vic­ tory. Jim Toole dished out eight assists for the Wildcats. By looking at the final score of Friday' s game, one would think that the 'Cats dominated Alaska South­ east, but Central led by only four points at halftime. However, Cen­ tral nearly doubled the Humpback Whales output in the second half and ran away with a 114-78 victory. Seven 'Cats scored in double figures as Central out-scored the Whales 65-33 in the second half. "Defense and balance have been the keys for us all year," Nicholson aid. Kenney again led all scorers with 27 points, but Toole had a big game for the 'Cats with 13 points and 12 assists. "Kenney played really well for us those first two games," Nicholson said. Jones added 15 points, Otto Pijpker and Shinnick each had 11, and Pepper and Terry Britt each scored 10 points apiece. Britt also pulled down a season-high 16 re­ bounds. Central concluded the regular season in Anchorage Saturday night, with a 72-59 victory over the Pio­ neers from Alaska Pacific. The 'Cats trailed by three points at the half, at 35-32, but regrouped in the second half and held on for the win. One key to the game was Central's ability to hold onto the ball. The 'Cats committed only seven turn­ overs, while forcing the Pioneers into 15 turnovers. Jones led the 'Cats with 16 points and eight rebounds, and Pijpker and Toole added 12 points apiece. "Otto came through for us and had a big trip," Nicholson said. Another bright spot for the 'Cats was the play of guard Brian Link. Link came off the bench to contrib­ ute 12 points and three steals to the victory. At a crucial point in the second half, Link scored eight straightpoints to helpputthe Whales away. "Give Link a lot of credit, he saved the day for us," Nicholson said. "He had some clutch points and played defense for us."

The Wildcats travel to Spokane this weekend for doubleheaders with Gonzaga University on Satur­ day and Sunday. Game time is noon on both days. The Bulldogs enter the game 4-0, after sweeping two doubleheaders from Eastern Oregon State. Gonzaga outfielder Tom Sch- oesler had five hits in twelve at bats, including three home runs and 11 runs batted in, last weekend. The Bulldogs top pitcher, Billy Walker, pitched 41/3 innings of no- hit ball to pick up a win. He struck out 13 batters while walking only two. Against the Huskies, Central showed some bright spots. In Sunday's opener, the Wildcats led 9-5, but gave up five runs to UW in it's final at bat. Shortstop Kris Sagmoen hit safely in all five games, including two home runs. Tom Magruder went five for nine and had three R.B .1.'s. First baseman Barry Glenn hit safely in all four games he played. Pitcher Karlos Schmiedeskamp didn't allow a run in 3 1/3 innings pitched. Overall, Central's pitchers had a hard time controlling the ball. The 'Cats gave up 38 walks in 37 in­ nings.

Thursday March 1,1990 The Observer — Page 15 If Western comes again, let's be prepared AME N ATHLETICS CHRIS AMES Sports Editor If both teams win tonight, which they should, Western will play at Central on Saturday. It will begin the best-of-three series that will decide what team moves on to the NAIA National Tourna­ ment in Kansas City. Brad Jackson, Western's head coach, never did impress me much as a coach, but after Western got thumped at home by the Wildcats, he managed to disgrace himself even more. Central did not arrive in Belling- ham until eight o'clock because of the pass conditions. The result was a later starting time. After the game, Jackson accused Central's head coach Dean Nicholson of making the trip over the pass last longer than it should have. Jackson said he would never believe a word Nicholson said again. Nicholson has said he has lost respect for Jackson. Although this may sound a little like a soap opera, I have to side with Nicholson. Of course, I'm biased. Nicholson is the greatest coach I've ever seen. Jackson was just reacting in his usual poor- sport manner when he confronted Nicholson after the loss. I hope the crowd at Saturday's game gets all over Jackson. Let him know what an idiot he is. Speaking of the crowd, I attended the last game between Central and Western at Belling- ham. Their fans are half-witted fools. I have never heard more morons screaming in unison as I did at that game. The most creative cheer they could come up with was, "Central...you suck." Doesn't that sound a lot like a cheer we began decades ago? Except our version included the word 'Western'. To really get the Wildcats motivated and to get on Western's back, we need to organize our crowd. We need ideas that our fresh and original. "But where can we find those ideas, Chris?" • Funny you asked. I happen to have a few ideas of what we, the Central crowd, should say and do. Don't forget about tonight's game, it is a perfect chance to practice all of the things I'm going to tell you. Since team introductions are first, I'll begin there also. First of all, everyone should bring at least one page from a newspaper, such as The Observer. Some of us should bring more because the girls from Hitchcock Hall always forget stuff like this. When members of Western's team are being introduced, hold the papers Tup in front of your face. Right If Michael Dahl, number 40, when they get done announcing happens to get into the game, the player's name, everyone everybody should start chanting, shout, "Who cares?" at the top of "Bosworth...Bosworth...Bosworth." your lungs. When a Central player If you'll remember, Dahl sports a is being introduced, put the paper Boz-style haircut. If he weren't down and cheer until your buddy is deaf. Instead of the normal cheer we use, as mentioned above, how about if the crowd yelled this in unison: "Westem...who cares?" Because we really don't give a flying Viking about those buffoons anyway. People who are sitting under­ neath the baskets should really go crazy when Western is shooting free-throws at your end. It makes it quite difficult to shoot. If you are sitting beneath the basket, bring a Playboy centerfold and open it up whenever a Western player is shooting free throws. Next, it is time to get on individual players from Western, and what a collection of talent­ less schmucks they are.

It's up to you here, but as always, try to be as creative as possible. So I'm being totally negative and I should come up with some positive things to support the Wildcats. Well I did. The first idea is a simple cheer, but it is very effective and sounds pretty good, too. It begins with three slow claps. On the fourth beat, everyone yells, "CATS!" While you scream, pump your fist into the air. To sum it up, it goes like this: "[clap]...[clap]...[clap]...CATS!" Now, repeat it over and over. Once again, I'm sure there are going to be a few calls that we won't agree with. When we usually yell at the referees, we do it individually or when we do scream together, it's usually obscene. I have a cheer that we could do that is clean, but effective. It says, "The refs suck, they really suck." Easy enough, huh? And it sounds good, too. Staff Writer ' Incorporated 420 N.
