Thursday, February 7,1991 Central Washington University Vol. 9 No. 13 by Darta Hill Co-editor Three Central Air Force ROTC cadets were selected by the U.S. Air Force recently for a four-and-a-half year NATO- sponsored pilot-training pro­ gram in Wichita Falls, Texas. The announcement was made yesterday by the AF- ROTC. Sixty-one ROTC cadets were chosen nationwide from a pool of almost 200 candi­ dates. The three Central cadets are Sidney J. Bridges, 25, from Chehalis, JonE. Counsell, 23, from Moses Lake, and Brent M. Gillespie, 23, from Oka- nagen. All three will graduate Sidney J. Bridges Jon. E. Counsell Brent M. Gillespie and be commissioned as sec­ ond lieutenants in June. They had not been notified by press time Tuesday, so could not be reached for comment. Prater said three cadets being chosenforthe training program from one school is extraordi­ nary, considering there are 145 AFROTCs in the country and only 61 students chosen. The Euro-NATO Joint Jet Pi­ lot Training Program (ENJJPT) is a 55-month pro­ gram for training tactical program fighter pilot candidates. About 320 trainees from NATO coun­ tries around the world partici­ pate in the program each year at Sheppard Air Force Base in Texas. "It's very prestigious for (the Central cadets)," AFROTC Commander John S. Prater said. "This shows the superior quality of each of these men." All candidates going through the ENJJPT program are taught to fly single-seat fighter aircraft, he said. Other pilot training programs aren't as aircraft-specific and are at­ tended only by U.S. service­ men, he said.

Walter Staff reporter A fire broke out at the Conference Center laundry facilities Jan. 31 causing an estimated $5,000-$10,000in damage. Ellensburg Fire Marshall A1 Nielsen said there was 'fairly considerable9 damage done to the linen and towels which were scorched as well as surface damage to the inside of the building. The laundzy facilities build­ ing is located west of the Confernce Center. No one was injured in the fire said Jerry Morang, aux­ iliary services supervisor. See FIRE/page 2 Jr V|L -.

Basket debate back on BOD's burner Staff reporter Residence Hall Council pro­ posed a new "support basket" finals-week fundraiser to Central's Board of Directors at a Tuesday meeting, but met with opposition to the new plan. Last quarter, the BOD en­ acted a policy preventing clubs from sponsoring duplicate fundraisers. In November, it ruled that RHC, after fall quarter, must stop selling support baskets as a fundraiser because the Busi­ ness and Economics Club had "the prior claim on it," said Russell Johansen, director to clubs and organizations. In January, Ken Machtley, RHC chairman, approached the BOD to reconsider the basket distribution decision. In an executive meeting on Jan. 29, the BOD decided to stick with its November deci­ sion. AttheBOD meeting on Tues­ day, Machtley proposed a "Fast-Aid Kit" as a new sup­ port basket, different from what RHC offered last quar­ ter. The snack-fooditems would come in a white "Fast-Aid" bucket. Ithink there's room for peace­ ful co-existence between the two programs," said Machtley. The BOD could not grant RHC the opportunity to sell the baskets again due to the fun- draising policy already passed. However, the BOD decided to discuss the issue further dur­ ing an executive session. Before a decision can be made, the issue must also be brought before the Council of Probity by either club. The Council of Probity, set up by the BOD, has "original jurisdiction" over any club disputes. Machtley would like to dis­ cuss the basket issue with R&E club officers, who will be made aware of RHCs proposal. Smuggled beer closes CATZ dance club Eagles Club director terminates contract, student organizer 'basically out of business' by Jim Thomsen Co-ecfitor Attention: If you're one of the stu­ dents who smuggiedbeer into the Eagles Lodge in Ellensburg last Friday night, Tim Mackey would like to have a little chat with you. Because the beer incident violated the contract between Mackey's dance dub, CATZ, and the Eagles, the Central student will no longer be allowed to hold dances at the lodge. And now that his contract with the Eagles has been terminated, Mackey said CATZ is essentially out of busi­ ness —he can't afford any other place in town for his dances aimed at the 18- to-21 age set. The weekend dances were the only ones of their kind in town. *Tm so (mad) it's hard to sleep at night," said Mackey, who will lose the $300 to $400 he estimates CATZ brought in on a good night. "Whoever did that ruined a lot of fen for a lot of people." Mackey, who had been operating CATZ out of the Eagles Ledge, 301 W. Fourth St., since last year, had been nesday nights as well But all that changed Friday night, when an unknown number of students entered the club with a hidden case of beer. Several bottles were left on the dance floor after the club closed, and broken bottles were found in the restrooms, Mackey said. Smuggling the beer in apparentlywas the easy part—there were no security guards at the door that night. Mackey's contract called for him to ar­ range for two uniformed policemen at the door however, Mackey said he had trouble arrangingfor security that night and received permission from Eagles Club director John Moon to operate without. Moon denied giving such permission. "No, I did not," he said- "They signed a contract and that (security guards) was specifically in there." Moon said he cancelled Mackey's contract, which called for use of lodge facilities for $125 a night, because he didn't want to risk losing his liquor li- cense. T couldn't jeopardize my license," lie said. Tve got a lot of members here I have to think about first." Mackey said he will work on a smaller scale, taking his Fast Forward Produc­ tions equipment to regul ar SUB dances and occasional private parties. "I'm basically out of business, though," he said. "Tve got bills to pay on my equipment and only a setup like CATZ could pay for that."'
Page 2 Thursday, February 7,1991 The Observer Temporary librarian hired, 11 p.m. closing hour on its way by Joe Butler Staff reporter After months of debate and discussion, Central's library will begin closing at 11 p.m. Sunday through Thursday. In a letter to Central's stu­ dent Board of Director's Presi­ dent Dan Sutich, Provost Robert Edington said the new closing time will be effective "on or around" Feb. 15. The library announced its intention to return to an 11 p.m.closing hour last October, but the move was delayed while the school searched for a tem­ porary librarian to handle the expanded hours. The new librarian has been hired, said Frank Schneider, Dean of Library Services, and will begin work after about 10 days of training. Sutich, who, with other stu­ dent Board of Directors mem­ bers, staged a sit-in at the li­ brary last October to protest the fall announcement of the current 10 p.m. closing hour, said he was pleased the issue finally seems to be resolved. "This looks promising," he said. "Barring something un­ fortunate happening, it looks like we have our new time." Warrant waiting for wayward sleeper A Beck Hall resi­ dent was rousted from bed by campus police Saturday night and served a hot traffic warrant from King County, a cam­ pus police report said. Police tried to contact the man at his room, but found a fellow Beck Hall resident sleeping there instead. The man said he he did not know where the man they were looking for was, the report said. Officers then checked his room and found the man Campus Cops by Mark Eaton wanted on the warrant sleeping there, the report said. The man was taken to Kittitas County Jail where he was read the warrant from Federal Way District Court and was held for extridition, the report said. A Quigley Hall woman told campus police last Friday that her bike had been stolen, vandalized and then returned, a-campus police report said. The Ross ten-speed, valued at $200, had a flat front tire, bent front forks and a miss­ ing lock when it was returned — all of which totaled an estimated $100 damage, the report said. The woman doesn't remem­ ber if she locked her bike after using it and her boy­ friend, who was the last person to use it, said he found the bike damaged, the report said. It was mistakenly stated in last week's Campus Cops that a Quigley Hall LGA called campus police after catching a resident vandalizing a vending ma- ching. The LGA did NOT call police, but submitted a report to the office of Resi­ dence Living. That office chose to involve the police, not the LGA. Fire starts after dirty burlap towels spontaneously combust in laundry facility From FIRE / page 1 The fire was discovered by an auxiliary services worker who noticed the smoke. The Ellensburg Fire Depart­ ment was called at 12:04 p.m. Morang said the fire was con­ tained by auxiliary main- tenence control workers until the fire department arrived. "We're real happy we had fire extinguishers," Morang said. After investigating the fire, Neilsen said it wasn't suspi­ cious in nature and no obvious source of ignition caused it. The evidence all pointed to­ ward spontaneous combustion ofburlap towels that were used to clean grills, he said. The towels were not washed thoroughly enough and still had grease and animal fat on them, he said. The grease gen­ erated its own heat when the towels were thrown in a pile of clean towels. That, combined with the right amount of oxgen in the air, caused the pile to break out in flames. The fire, which took about 15- 20 minutes to put out, also caused some smoke damage to the laundry room as well as to a roof hatch. But, Neilsen said, the ceiling had already been cleaned of abestos so there was no concern there. The laundry facilities room was back in operation early this week.

3 The Observer Thursday, February 7,1991 Page 3 •ft r3 Cake with 100 candles on the way Centennial committee seeking donations for year-long festivities by Mark Eaton Staff reporter Central's Centennial commit­ tee mailed letters to faculty and staff last Friday asking for financial support of the upcom­ ing university celebration of its 100-year birthday. The self-supported Centennial committee is set to kick-off a year-long celebration May 11. It will conclude at the1992gradu­ ation ceremony. A second mailing of letters will be sent to alumni and the Ellensburg community next week, asking for contributions. Gail Jones, chairperson of the eight-member Centennial committee, said she is encour­ aging Central's student Board of Directors to ask students for a $1 donation and is hoping for a great deal of student involve­ ment. "We do want the students to be drawn in as deep as pos­ sible," said Jones. "(The Cen­ tennial) will be an emotional bonding and a tremendous start for the future." The Central Washington Normal School opened in Sep­ tember 1891 as a teacher edu- .vcA Crhro"sii CV to cation school. It became Cen­ tral Washington State College in 1961 and finally Central Washington University in 1977. The official Centennial cele­ bration will begin May 11, Parent's weekend, with the dedication of "Founders Square" in the Edison Plaza, just north of Shaw-Smeyser Hall. The Square will be a structure made of bricks en­ graved with individual purchaser's names. The Square was designed by Bill Ross, of Facilities Management. One key event scheduled for October is a symposium titled "Education in the 21st Cen­ tury." The symposium will feature three guest speakers, each with a different profes­ sional background. Schedule to speak are David Orr, an evironmentalist from Overland College in Ohio Hazel Henderson, a British freelance economist who lives in St. Augustine, Fla. and Laura Nader, an anthropolo­ gist at the University of Cali- fornia-Berkeley. The second major event is the premiere of a commissioned symphonic-choral work by Central's Dr. Robert Panerio that will be preformed at the Centennial's Closing Gala. Some permanent features of the Centennial celebration have already been launched. More than 100 different trees have been planted on campus, each one dedicated to a sepa­ rate graduating class, Jones said. Every graduating class will continue the tradition. Fund raising for the Centen­ nial began Jan. 25 with "An Evening at the Theater." Jones estimated 75 people paid $20 each to attend Central's pro­ duction of "Noises Off" and to join in a wine and hors d'oeuvres mixer before and after the play. ^ -.m.

The National Student Ex­ change (NSE), in which Cen­ tral is participating for the first time this year, gives stu­ dents the opportunity to spend an academic year at one of more than 100 universities and colleges in the United States. Students participating in the NSE, while attending the host school, pay either Central's or the host school's in-state tui­ tion. "It's a fun way to study," said Lorna Jackson, junior and vice president of political affairs of Central's student Board of Directors, who will participate in the program next year. Jackson picked the Univer­ sity of Maine in Farmington and the University of South­ ern Maine as her top two ap­ plication choices. To qualify, a student must be a Washington resident, a full- time student with a 2.5 or above grade-point average and must be at least a junior when the exchange begins. "I generally talk to students two or three times before they submit their application," said Nomi Pearce, Study Abroad/ Exchange advisor in Interna­ tional Programs. Students who apply will find out early in spring quarter if they have been accepted, and they will be assigned to the college of their choice. Rob Whitham, a junior ap­ plying for the NSE, sees little opportunity to continue his law and justice major at Central, due to cutbacks in that cur­ riculum. "There are hardly any prac­ tical classes left," said Whitham. He plans to spend his senior year at the University of Ala­ bama, where relatives live nearby, but he will graduate with a degree from Central. To apply, contact Pearce at the International Programs office in Barge 103, or call 963- 3615. Central's International Pro­ grams department operates this exchange.

Hawkins, 61, were appointed to the nine- member commission by Mayor Charles Haight andconfirmed by the Ellensburg City Coun­ cil at its Jan. 22 meeting. The commission will meet at least once a month to discuss, analyze and make recommen­ dations to the city council on environmental concerns in the Ellensburg community. "I feel my expertise and con­ tacts will be useful in helping to maintain a quality environ­ ment in Ellensburg and the Kittitas/Yakima Valley," said Wiberle in his application for appointment. Hawkins is currently presi­ dent of the Kittitas Audubon Society. In his application for appoint­ ment Hawkins said the City Council, town leaders and citi­ zens have accomplished much toward conserving nature. "I wish to join in the effort, and my experience and affiliations will facilitate my contribution," he said. A specific date has not been set for the commission's first meeting with its new members. All of the meetings will be open to the public. Other Central candidates for the commission were Barry Donahue, 39, computer science professor and director of the William O.

The Observer c* Off-road trails mapped by Central grads Couple produces ORV Recreation Guide for county sheriffs office by Kristen Kail Absher Staff reporter Off-road enthusiasts will be well-di- rected this year thanks to the work of two Central graduates who prepared the new Off-Road Vehicle (ORV) Rec­ reation Guide for the Kittitas County sheriffs office. Eric Phillips and Joyce Phillips (for­ merly Joyce Gilliland) were geogra­ phy and land studies students m eany 1989when they began the project.They were married following the comple­ tion of the guide. Dr. Kenneth Hammond, department chair, and Dr. Joel Andress, one of the department's professors, provided guidance and assistance to the Phil­ lips, who used the department's equip­ ment for the project. The recreation guide, copyrighted in 1990, is in map form and is intended to be a general guide to off-road vehicle use in central Washington state. The Washington State Interagency Committee for Outdoor Recreation and the Sheriffs Department provided about $1500 in funds for preparation of the map. Joyce Phillips, who graduated from Central in June, did most of the cartog­ raphy work with Eric's supervison and assistance. Eric Phillips is currently a resource managementgraduate student working on his thesis. The Phillips' did not receive college credit for designing the recreation guide. It was done primarily as a public service and for professional experience, Eric Phillips said. • "We wanted to upgrade the old map because it wasn't satisfactory," he said. The students used a Forest Service map as a main source with additional trail change information provided by the sheriffs office ORV deputies, Fred Slyfield and Dan Jonason. The Phillips' have worked on several other map projects through the cartog­ raphy department, including The Washington State Centennial Map, published in 1989. Eric Phillips said the experience and educationhe's gained through Central's geography department has proved worthwhile. "It's a...great department," he said. M Two Central graduates produced this recreation guide for off-road vehicle use in Kittitas County. It is available free of charge at the Sheriff's Office. The Phillips now live in Wenatchee where they operate their own business, Phillips Cartography. Joyce Phillips does cartography for the business and Eric is working for the Chelan County Planning Department as a long-range planner.

Page 6 Thursday, February 7,1991 The Observer EDITORIAL OB More opportunities to give blood needed L ast Tuesday, about 1 p.m., I went to the SUB Ballroom fully intending to "let it bleed" for the boys overseas. To my complete surprise, I was turned away. Surprising, because like many other students, I had heard the urgent plea to give. In the Jan. 24 issue of The Observer, blood drive co-chairperson Iva Haruda said: "We've been asked to supply an additional 200 units of blood on top of our usual quota for our region." I figured, fine, 111 get leeched, suck down my juice and cookies, and split. But no — even though the blood drive hours were posted as 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., the doors closed before 1 p.m, as they did the next day as well. Co-chairperson Peter Schoenhofen of the Arnold Air Society explained later that because response to the call for blood has been so strong in this region (Central Wash­ ington) of the Red Cross, the decision was made to limit the Central drive to the first 125 donors each day. And even though the count of American wounded and dying rise each day, there won't be another blood drive on campus until sometime next quarter. Why? According to Ellensburg Red Cross chairperson Christine Page, donated blood has a shelf life of 40 days, so the Columbia River Regional Blood Services in Ya­ kima, which manages donor drives in this region, appar­ ently decided that blood donated above the set quota would go to waste. Plus, Red Cross has decided that donors can only give blood every 56 days, maximum. I don't get it. I mean, you get a little card when you donate that includes a notation from a blood drive worker each time you give, right? So if the CRRBS decided to operate another drive here, say, later this month, then everyone who wanted to give again could show their card and be turned away—but the dozens, maybe even hundreds who were turned away could receive their patriotic catharsis and donate. It's just slipshod to assume that everybody gave. 125 a day for two days is far from everybody on this campus. I can't believe that if all the students who wanted to give but couldn't were given the opportunity, a productive use couldn't be found for the blood. Just check the daily Middle East death toll. — Jim Thomsen Fat jokes tasteless Two of the top 10 "Off-Season Sports on ESPN" are fat-guy hackey sack (#9) and Oprah tipping (#2), accord­ ing to the most recent "Staff Notes," a newsletter put out by the Office of Residence Living. Nice. As if mocking a national celebrity's (or anybody's) weight is an original idea. Haven't we learned by now we should look at everything BUT a person's physical charac­ teristics when determining who they are? No wonder women live in mortal fear of being overweight, with the off-chance remarks like that might be made about them. We should be past fat-people jokes by now — even if they're actually David Letterman's. In light of how stupid they are, he might as well get the credit, right? — Darla Hill ANY­ MORE Bioopm please // PtfASf/rrfl toou T TO BURST/// 1/ LETTERS Letter writer checks out of apathy motel In response to Jim Thomsen's editorials of Jan. 24 and 31,1 believe one can receive feed­ back by appealing to a person's morals, beliefs and sense of decency without purposefully intending to "piss them off." There certainly are many people in the world who agree with Mr. Thomsen's assertion that the way to get a response from people is to do what "worked back in the first grade," piss people off. There is a better way. We must work to perpetuate open- mindedness and understand­ ing in order to overcome the system that supposedly works for first-graders, as well as many people of varying ages. Mr. Thomsen stated he "felt we at The Observer were get­ ting entirely to little response to" the war. I believe many people in the community and on campus have been respond­ ing to the war in the Gulf. I suggest The Observer could engage in more in-depth re­ porting of local response in­ stead of trying and succeeding in "pissing people off." It is true that response can be positively generated by dis­ agreeing with people or dis­ cussing controversial issues through an editorial medium, but "pissing people off" simply for a response is a negative approach to generating re­ sponse from people.This ap­ proach lacks intelligence and maturity. , Does the question Mr. Th­ omsen posed last week make any sense: "Would you work to eliminate all evil in the world if you knew things would be pretty dull afterward?" Whether or not this question was intended to "piss people off" is not a valid concern. The fact that a question of such little substance and such immense shallowness was ac­ tually asked is quite disheart­ ening. I believe the value of working to eliminate all evilin the world is not defined in terms of dra­ matic quality of marketability. It is defined in terms of con­ cern for one's brothers and sisters, one's planet and one's conscience. My question is: Are you or I truly informed enough to jus­ tify the ongoing actions of im­ mense destruction of life? Please strive to educate your­ self! Strive to overcome igno­ rance and apathy. It is pos­ sible. And ultimately it is the responsibility of the people of a democratic nation to account for its government's action. Andrew Bates Drinking got in the way of people's fun I was happy to read last week about Tim Mackey's CATZ nightclub. I thought there finally would be a place to go in Ellensburg to dance and have a great time. Many of us aren't 21 and able to go to the Best Western. And everyone I told seemed excited, too. Finally— some thing fun to do! But last week, a few irrespon­ sible people took beer into the CATZ club. Now Tim's club has been closed down for good. And that leaves those of us who can have a good time so­ ber, without a place to go. I realize that there is drink­ ingon campus—thatis a given. But something is wrong when it gets in the way of other people's fun. It would be great to have the CATZ club opened again. Especially if Tim is so enthusi­ astic about it. And maybe people would grow up and let the rest of us have fun our way. Staci West n fi m Editors Darla Hill Jim Thomsen Scene editor Monica Schuchard Sports editor Greg L.

«r. The Observer Thursday, February 7,1991 Page 7 Education + attitudes = activism by Gina Zukoski Staff reporter Right. Or wrong. I have been called both. But I would much rather be called either of these, than being labeled as apathetic. The inarguably verbose William F. Buckley wrote, some years ago, an essay about the American tendency to put up with things as they are (even at their most aggravating), and not com­ plain. He characterized us red-white-n'-blue-ers as a pitifully apathetic and indifferent lot. Whether we have really become that bad is question­ able. But I do believe this. In 1991, with the magnitude and complexity of American and international issues, we cannot afford to be either apathetic or indifferent. And perhaps most importantly, we can't afford to be silent. COMMENTARY Recently, I attended the March For Peace, sponsored by the Ad Hoc Committee to Stop War. In a nutshell, this event was an opportunity to voice out beliefs and opinions about the Gulf war. A scant number of counterdemonstra- tors even showed up. I wasn't at all disappointed by their presence. But I was disap­ pointed they were not willing to speak out and publicly defend their position. Even with CNN, it's all too easy to remain apathetic and even reticent in E-burg. I know this firsthand. Often, our foremost concerns are of the world. Every time I get past Issaquah on westbound 1-90, it's like the first of a dose of culture shock. Along with this culture shock, comes my dad. An­ other verbose man, (albeit not like Buckley), my dad has imparted the following philosophy to me for years. questions leading to an open forum. As I see it, this is the best way to acquire education. Open communication, open exchange of ideas, and open discussion. In turn, this education, combined with our own individual attitudes, beliefs and perspectives, provides Democracy depends upon two the foundation for our par- factors — these being educa­ tion and participation or involvement, he said. I would have to add to this. Participation without any educational background is valueless. And being edu­ cated without then partici­ pating or getting involved is passing a chemistry midterm, even more worthless. or deciding between a kegger and The Tav for the night's options. In a town with a population double Microsoft's personnel list, a town with only two radio stations, and a town where The Seattle Times costs an extra 25 cents, it's all too easy to forget the rest Fortunately, even Ellensburg proffers the means by which we can acquire this education. ticipation and involvement. Whether you agree or disagree with what is going on around you, speak out! Let someone know how you feel. Voice your assent or dissent. For I fear that if you and I don't, we might find our­ selves in position where we no longer can. I am reminded of something Dante once wrote. He asserted that a special place . in hell was reserved for those in Summer Employment Alaska II you are among Hiose seeking Hotel servicc employment this summer, who are menially and physically prepared to woiK hard in ex- cttauge lor a lair wage and benefits and wlto wish to enjoy a beautiful wilderness spiling, we would welcome your application POSITIONS BEING OFFERED ' NIGHT AUDITOR 'BARTENDER ' COCKTAIL ' BUS PERSON ' DISHWASHER ' CASHIER ' SUPERVISORS 'COOK DESK CLERK 1 LAUNDRY ' MAINTENANCE ' HOUSEKEEPING • WAITSTAFF GIFT SHOP Summer season May - September For information and APPLICATION cal or write to: Summer Hire Program Westmark Inn - Skagway 300 Elliott Ave. West tob/AA Seattle, Washington 98119-4199 (206)231-5172 A m GRAND CENTRAL CINEMA 925-2999 •twuoent discounts $1 off gsnaal adndMiaa •Ultra stereo on EUeBSborfB largest screen Double Feature This Week Only, All Shows Starring Patrick Swayze and Demi Mo ore Showing 2:00 Sat fit Sun 6:50 Everyday Showing Everyday 4:30 & 9:20 Showing at Midnight Monty Python The Meaning of Life Coming Sc Jack London's j^ANG" However, it is often disguised who, in times of crisis or so that we must search for it.

Paqe 8 Thursday, February 7,1991 The Observer S CENE Mountain bike hype reaches Central by Samantha Swain Staff reporter In 1816, Baron Karl von Drais constructed a two-wheeled vehicle called the Draisine. This early attempt at a bicycle was maneuvered by pushing backward with your feet on the ground. No pedals, no chains, no metal frame... just a piece of wood with wheels... It's come a long way, baby. The uprising trend of bicycle riding has caused hype amongst people of all ages. Central's campus is proof of that. The cold weather hasn't put a damper on those who choose to ride their hearts out, to class, between class, after class... they're everywhere. And what allows them to catch bumps with ease, climb hills, and overcome other ob­ stacles created by nature? Mountain bikes. The Recycle Bicycle Shop in downtown Ellensburg has been selling bicycles since opening 10 years ago. But according to owner Fred Johnston, the market for mountain bikes was not always in such high de­ mand. "Three years ago it boomed," said Johnston. "We have seen a lot of mountain biking enthu­ siasts involved originally. Then **• * ' v »• • ' Fred Johnston, owner of The Recycle Shop has witnessed the recent boom in mountain bike demand. Johnston founded "La Vie Knob"club for enthusiasts, racers and beginners. people who never rode before started because mountain bikes are so fun to ride." Mountain bikes today are on the market through mass pro­ duction. But in 1979, the Re­ cycle Shop was doing some bike production of its own. "We had to custom-build mountain bikes out of old bi­ cycle parts for people," said Johnston. "We called them 'cruisers.'" Ifcwas kind of rudi­ mentary. Then there were a few production mountain bikes on the market, we brought a couple in and within a year it was all anybody wanted." The Recycle Bicycle Shop is also one of the official sponsors for the Yakima-based Chinook Cycling Club. Johnston is working on adding an Ellensburg branch. In addition to its support of the Chinook Club, the Recycle Shop has had a "club" of its own for three years. They call themselves "La Vie Knob" which means the knob life.The group consists of 25-30 mem­ bers made up of mechanics at the shop, Central students, and community friends. The mountain bike team has a core group of expert racers who compete in races state­ wide, but not all the members are at expert level. "We are currently working on a newsletter about the group," said Johnston. "Beginners are welcome." Mountain biking isn't only for the competitor many people bike simply as a means of trans­ portation. And some go so far as to think they can conquer the earth's hills and crevices with their metal or carbon fi­ ber frames and REI attitudes. "I can take any mountain side," said Central junior Mark Anderson. "I'm not afraid to ride down anything. When you're on the bike you can do things that other people just can't." Sophomore Todd Mason has been an avid bike rider since 1987. When the mountain bike craze became known to Ellensburg, Mason jumped on a bike and placed second in his age group/expert level in a White Pass Mountain bike See BIKES/ page 9 BSU strives for greater visibility by Maria J. Pugh Staff reporter With Black History Month beginning in February, Central's Black Student Union (BSU) is planning some special events to not only introduce people to African American culture, but also to have African American students become aware of BSU. As well as promoting February's "Festival of the Arts," which features several black artists, the BSU hopes to sponsor recruitment drives, dances, and black history events in an effort to get the club seen on campus. "What I would like for the BSU to do is become more visible, so minority students who go to Central know we are here, and know we are active," said Lou Johnson, a three-year BSU member. Johnson, 48, explained he was on campus for three quarters before he knew about BSU. During that time he experienced difficulty with prejudice but didn't know where to go for help. A junior in special educa­ tion, Johnson now tries to help minority students know there is a place for them to go. His outgoing personality makes him a valuable re­ cruiter, and he said he is not reluctant to grab people in the mall to tell them about BSU. Johnson and other BSU members are concerned, however, that there are still a large number of students who aren't aware of BSU and other minority groups. The BSU hopes to plan several recruitment drives to reach more of these students. "We encourage anyone to attend our meetings," BSU Secretary Gidget Seaberry said. This quarter the club is without many of its officers and the BSU is looking for active people to fill these roles. "The BSU is for everyone," Johnson said. "It's a good club that does a lot of good for the campus community." Past activities the BSU has been involved in are toy drives, black history pro­ grams and scholarship awards. "The Black Student Union was reorganized inthe spring of 1988 because we as stu­ dents needed a support group where we could voice our concerns over academic and campus affairs," Seaberry said. Although the BSlPs main concern is education, the group also puts a strong emphasis on social activities. "The BSU is concerned with reducing the feelings of isolation minority students may have on campus by allowing them to meet other minorities," Seaberry said. Keith Champagne, assistant director of student activities and advisor for BSU, adds that there are other clubs around campus with the same goals. Native American, Asian, and Hispanic groups are also taking an active role on campus, he said. "One of our future goals is to assist Central in attaining role models for minority groups," Seaberry said. Meanwhile, plans are underway to give away tickets to Yolanda King's appearance in Yakima and to start a black history display on campus. Events already scheduled for Black History Month include jazz artist Ethel Ennis, Feb. 23, a teleconference on racism, Feb. 20 and a Martin Luther King Jr. exhibit on display at the library, Feb. 6-28.

The Observer Local shop keeps mountain bike enthusiasts on their toes From BIKES/ page 8 race. "I like it because I can go out and cover more ground than when I am hiking," said Mason. "When you are going down hill you push it as hard as you can... stretching your limit." Mason is also a member of the Chinook cycling team. Obviously not everyone on campus dreams of mud-caked tires and seeing the madness of trees peripherally fly by while descending undiscov­ ered hill sides. But the days of keeping a bike locked up for winter are becoming ob­ solete. "It's fun," said Johnston. "You stay warm if you're moving. You save money not driving, andyou stay healthy. For a lot of kids at school, mountain biking is a way of life and they don't want to stop." It won't be easy for them to as new bikes come out on the market with more to offer and as the sport of mountain biking becomes more recog­ nized. The Ellensburg Recycle Bi­ cycle Shop is planning a com­ petition this spring and for those who aren't into racing, Mountain High Sports in Ellensburg has information on exciting trails and events coming up in the spring. Thursday, February 7,1991 Page 9 An inside look at housing horror By Maria J. Pugh Staff reporter There exists a growing preju­ dice out there — a blatant hatred, distrust and downright disrespect for college students in a small, conservative town. Oh, some people try to hide it, squelching it down within them because they know they shouldn't feel that way, but it continues to rear its evil head anyway. Then there's others who don't bother to hide it. I have night­ mares about these people: I picture their heads spinning as they burn a sacrificial fresh­ man over their hibachi. These are the kind of people who stand outside your door at night to try to see how many people are in your apartment the kind of people who think if there is any member of the opposite sex in your apartment there has to be fornication going on the kind of people who leave notes and make special trips to your apartment to tell you you park too far forward in your parking space, put too many clothes in the dryer at one time, and brush your teeth too late at night. They are the kind of people who also evict you for walking up the stairs too loud. "You can't fight it," they say. "Because you don't have the money for a lawyer." Now that's a valid point. I had just five weeks to find a place in a town where housing crunch was an understate­ ment. It wasn't easy... WEEK ONE: I called the real estate agents for rental lists. I had to fill out a three-page application at each place, just to get the list. Then I was told most people were looking for permanent residents, not col­ lege students. "Don't get your hopes up," they said. Don't worry, I hadn't. I called one apartment listed in a local newspaper — "base­ ment apartment plus," it said, "$200 / month." The 'plus' turned out to be an unfinished basement in a rundown house — cement floors, walls, no windows and no bathroom. For this I could get arrested and live in jail for free. WEEK TWO: I called three places listed in the paper for the first time. "Already rented, sorry." Sure you are. I went to another apartment in a large house, $225/month, 2-bedrooms. When a mouse ran across my foot on the way up the stairs, I got back into my car. WEEK THREE: No bites from the real estate compa­ nies. I called a few houses listed in the paper. I got one "Oh, so you're a stuuuuuuu-dent?", one "I don't think you would really want to rent from us," and one two-hour interrogation into my life, social patterns, and reli­ gious affiliation. WEEK FOUR: I'm getting desperate, thinking of how I can set up my TV in my car. My sister calls with a lead about a three-bedroom apartment in the country. It's $525/ month, not too bad if Monica moves in with Deb and I. We go see it and like it imme­ diately. Yeah, it's attached to four huge garage bays yeah, it has cows in the back yard, but we would like to call it home. BUT, the landlord needs the rent by tomorrow, and we don't have it. Monica begins calling around to the homeless shel­ ters instead. WEEK FIVE: I'm moving personals into my car when the phone rings. It's Fred Christen, the man who owns the three-bedroom apartment in the country. He liked us and we can move in anytime, whenever we get the money. THANKS FRED! We had a dream and thank God almighty, we are free at last! Or are we? (next week, Monica's exciting conclusion) What's Happening. . .

The Observer Thursday, February 7,1991 Page 11 SPORTS Men run home win streak to 14 'Cats look to .500 mark against UPS, LCSC this week by Phil Hoffman Staff reporter Central's men's basketball team ran its homecourt win­ ning streak to 14 straight after outlasting archrival Western Washington Univer­ sity 107-96 in overtime on Saturday. The Wildcats then on Turesday beat Simon Fraser 91-83, for its first win there since 1985. Terry Britt led the 'Cats with a career high 16 points. "Im really impressed with Terry (Britt). This is the best I've ever seen him play on offense," said coach Gil Cole­ man. The team after a 1-8 start, has now won 10 of their last 14. The Wildcats will travel to Tacoma tonight to take on the University of Puget Sound, currently one-half game behind first place St. Martin's but is in a three- way tie with Lewis-Clark State College and Whitworth for second place. If it weren't for the NAIA- imposed suspension, Central would be leading the district with an 8-2 league record. UPS beat Central 71-62 in the championship game of the UPS Holiday Classic in December, but Central bounced back to beat the Loggers 66-56 on Jan. 10 in Ellensburg. If Centred is to be successful MEN' against UPS it is going to have to contain 6-8 Mark Schultz, who leads the Log­ gers in scoring at 16 points per game and rebounds at nearly eight per contest. Central faces a stern test on Saturday when LCSC comes to Ellensburg for a 7:30 p.m. tipoff. Central beat the War­ riors 100-89 on Jan. 24 in Le- wiston, but the Warriors (4-2 in league, 14-8 overall) rank second in scoring average at nearly 87 points per game and are coming off a 25-point bashing of UPS. Central will also have revenge on its mind when NCAA Division 2 member Seattle Pacific University comes to Ellensburg for a Tuesday night tipoff. SPU ended a seven-year winless drought against Central with a 74-67 victory on Jan. 7 in Seattle. The Falcons, who lead the Great Northwestern Confer­ ence with a 4-0 league mark, 16-5 overall, have won four straight and six of their last seven. Central has literally owned Western in recent games, winning all three games this season and six straight overall against Western. Jason Pepper carried the hot hand for Central.

Swimmers to close out season vs. Loggers Saturday SWIMMING Central's men's and women's swimming teams complete their dual meet swimming season Saturday hosting the University of Puget Sound. Central's men are 5-1. Earlier this season they lost to the Loggers (5-5), 141-64 in Ta­ coma. The women are at 3-3, and also lost to the Loggers (4-5), earlier this season 129-76. Last weekend, the Wildcats competed in the Washington State Open in Seattle. The best individual finish by Central's women was an 11th by Molly Smith in the 100 yard backstroke. For the men's team the best finish was a seventh by Raif Moon in the 1650 freestyle. In all, Central's swimmers posted seven new national qualifying marks andimproved on six previous national quali­ fying times. The new national qualifiers included Carl anderson in the men's 500 freestyle, Moon in the 1650free, Ali Landry in the women's 200 free and 500 free and Smith, Michelle Blum and Christa Gilland all in the 200 back. Lady Cats face tough road test Central to take on Western, Simon Fraser this weekend by Greg L. Miller Sports editor The Lady Wildcats lost another hard fought game against Seattle University in Nicholson Pavillion Tuesday night. Seattle's Allison Carmer and LaShanna White combined for 43 points in the Chieftans 72-59 defeat of the Wildcats. "We played hard but, but we couldn't stop their inside game," said Ann Bowen, who came off the bench to lead the Lady 'Cats with a team high 18 points. "There inside game just killed us," she said. The women stayed close in the first half, being down only 30-28 at halftime. The offense however could not get itself untracked when they needed it the most in the second half, as the Lady Chieftans used an overpow­ ering inside game to pull to 11-6 on the season. The Lady 'Cats meanwhile fell to 3-8 in districts and 9- 14 overall for the season. "Our girls have played hard, but right now were having a hard time stopping other team's post up players," Coach Gary Fredricks said. Coach Fredricks feels the team will havfe to win at least three of team's final five district games, in order for the women to make the play­ offs. The Lady 'Cats will face its toughest road test of the season this weekend when it travels to Bellingham and Burnaby, B.C. for district road games Western Wash­ ington and Simon Fraser. Following the road games this weekend, the women will travel to Walla Walla Tues­ day to take on Whitman College. Currently the women are one-half game ahead of Whitman for eighth place in the District 1 standings.
