READ HISTORY. SPECIAL EDITION CENTENNIAL GAZETTE INSIDE! o H 1 .'If Thursday, May 30,1991 Central Washington University Vol. 9 No. 27 *» A sunrise on the job market horizon More employers visiting Central, more jobs lessening recession effects by Kenneth Rudd Staff reporter Despite gloomy job market forecasts that have many 1991 college graduates flocking to placement offices nation­ wide, the word from Central's Career Planning and Placement Center is that Central has apparently escaped the recession. Dean Owens, CPPC director, said this assessment is based on two rules of thumb used to gauge the status of the job market—the number of employers visiting campus and the number of jobs listed with the center, both of which are up from last year. In addition, Central's annual Job Fair attracted a dozen more companies this year compared to last year, Owens said. "Many of (the employers) expressed they had jobs open for graduating se­ niors," he said. "We had a nice diversity ... everything from retail stores to gov­ ernment at all levels, industrial com­ panies, wood products companies ... a nice variety for the different majors." A recent study by the University of Michigan revealed that nationwide 41 percent of graduates are in fields in which candidates outnumber jobs. Owens said as far as Central is con­ cerned, he doesn't know of any particu­ lar fields of study where jobs are harder to find than in others. "I think with our types of majors, we didn't notice the recession like other schools did," Owens said. There have always been areas that have been a little softer than others, and there always will be." But at Cen­ tral, "I think the hiring is being done pretty much across the board," he said. Opportunities appear brightest in education, where teacher placement is at its highest level in the state in sev­ eral years. There's no mystery to that," Owens said. "It's a time of retirement in the public schools, plus there's more chil­ dren in the track now." According to a report in the Seattle Times, many seniors nationwide are electing to ride out the recession in graduate schools, but Owens said he doesn't see that happening at Central. The students have such a close rela­ tionship with their professors here, and they're getting good advice," he said. Unlike some larger Washington state schools, Central has not had any re­ cruiters cancel scheduled on-campus interviews, Owens said. "As far as the general outlook of em­ ployment is concerned, we feel it's as good as ever, and it might even be a little bit better." The placement center runs workshops to assist students in locating jobs, how to research the job market, how to pre­ pare for interviews, and how to write resumes and cover letters, Owens said. How-to books and manuals are also available for students to check out. "We recommend students get ac­ quainted with and find out as much as they can about the companies they're interested in," Owens said. Information is available to help not only students seeking full-time work, but those in need of summer jobs and internships as well. * :Xy r mi wmm mm ill!— rr * ^ Amanda Tudor/The Observer "SERVICE!"—Residents of the Bassets dormitory complex take advantage of the increasing spring heat Tuesday outside Beck Hall by playing a game of volleyball.

Registration computers go belly up temporarily by Jonathan Modie Managing editor A massive registration com­ puter "crash" Thursday and Friday kept students tempo­ rarily on hold as registration officials scrambled to keep a back-up system from getting overloaded, said registrar Carolyn Wells. The breakdown occurred in the registration department's main computers, a large "Hy­ dra" computer system that is fed into the department's tele­ phone "REGI" system. Wells said when the large computer failed during regis­ tration and officials attempted to repair it early Thursday, "the See REPAIR / page 2 Housing problems behind us for now But officials are not optimistic new abodes will go up before fall by Jennifer Mortensen Staff reporter The housing crunch Central experi­ enced last fall is not expected to be repeated next year, said Jim Hollister, director of housing services. "It's pretty hard to make confident predictions at this point, but right now I'd say we will be down by a couple hundred from last fall," he said. Hollister said if his predictions are right, students will not be housed in Courson Hall next year. Last fall, nearly 190 freshmen and transfer students were placed in Courson, a conference facility, due to overcrowding in residence halls and a lack of available off-campus residences. Another dozen students were forced to live in area motels. Hollister said these students were placed in various on- and off-campus residences by mid-February Each fall, about 40 students are placed in Courson for a month or so until they can be moved into the residence halls, which can hold a total of2,468 students. But with or without Courson and ex­ tra students, housing is still expected to be tight next year. Earlier this year, university officials predicted that private housing would have to continue to bear the burden of extra students. There are no plans for new residence halls in the near future. But private housing is running into its own pitfalls. It was reported last fall that plans were under way for two new apartment complexes, totaling 62 units. But city planner Robert Witkowski now says the apartments will not be ready for use by next fall. "They're still in the making, but they've hit various obstacles," he said. "I know one of them got city approval and just can't find the financing. "The other one is preparing a site plan, but it has not yet come in (to the planning office)." Witkowski said he knows of a few other projects in the works, but "so far they're just talk." "I only know of one apartment com­ plex that's definitely going up — a 16- unit over on Alder Street," he said. The complex should be ready for use within the next few months. Witkowski said he is pessimistic about additional housing appearing before fall. "Somebody else could be ready by next fall if they started right away and put a lot of effort into it, but that's unlikely." Some area homes are being remod­ eled into apartments, which may pro­ vide some housing relief. "I'm sure anything at all that's built right now would help the situation," he said. dP? 1! ll tSFr H il dK5
Page 2 Thursday, May 30,1991 The Observer Central couple a little high on love by Jonathan Modie Managing editor Love is in the air—literally. That sentiment may be shared by two newly-engaged Central students, Shane Gardner and Heidi Carpenter. The 21-year-old Shane took "popping the question" to new heights May 21 when he, a pi­ lot, and Heidi flew an airplane over all of the Kittitas Valley and a lone sign in a field near the Yakima River reading: "Heidi, will you marry me?" When Heidi, an elementary education major, saw the sign as the three flew at 1,000 feet, Shane, a speech communica­ tions and public relations ma­ jor, presented her with a ring. Shane said he sold his mo­ torcycle to buy the ring, but told Heidi the man who bought it couldn't pay him until sum­ mer, "so she thought I was broke. "She had no idea that I would have the money enough to buy See COUPLE / page 3 Police procure perturbed partiers Aman who had consumed "eight or nine beers" after being kicked out of an Alford-Montgomery Hall party May 20 returned and beat on the door when he was refused entry, police said. The man was earlier asked to leave the party and did so, only to return later with a group of friends who told police they were prepared to fight for entry to the party. The group in Alford- Montgomery exchanged harsh words with the man and his friends at which point the man began kick­ ing the door and allegedly beat on the door with a rock, police said. One of the man's friends claimed there was no rock used to beat the door, police said. Police advised the man not to use rocks as a way of communicating his frustra­ tion when being excluded from a party. A Brooklane Village man broke two bones in his hand May 21 after he CAMPUS COPS by Mark Eaton struck the floor of his apart­ ment with his fist, police said. The man told police he became angry after his mother told him he would have to move out of their apartment and they argued. After the man injured his hand he drove to Kittitas Valley Community Hospital for treatment. Police con­ tacted the man there and he explained he was entering the military and that would solve the problem between him and his mother, police said. A woman reported her bicycle vandalized in front of Hitchcock Hall on May 21, police said. The owner told police her seat, bike pump, front wheel and water bottle, valued at an estimated $190, were taken from her locked bike. Police said they had no suspects. A Hitchcock Hall man was caught throwing eggs at a third floor window in Beck Hall Thursday, police said. The man told police he was retaliating against the resident of the room who had thrown items at his window from Beck Hall. Police noted that the man's window did not face Beck Hall, police said. Police said the man may have to pay for clean-up costs. A Brooklane Village woman, relocated from the Bellevue area, complained to police Thursday about a smelly skunk hanging around the apartment, police said. The woman told police the skunk usually comes out at night. Information about the skunk smell complaint was passed on by police to the City Animal Control and Campus Housing, police said. A man who parked his bike outside the Language and Literature building Thursday returned to find it locked to the bike rack with another lock, police said. After police traced the bike's campus identification number and ensured the man was the bike's owner, they cut the chain lock. One of Central's newly- installed Centennial banners was reported taken off a pole Thursday, police said. The red, white and black banner, valued at $100, was cut from the mounting brackets that held it to the pole, said police. It was the first such reported theft of the banners which were designed and installed around campus as part of Central's Centennial celebration, police said. Repair: REGI not at fault for failure From page 1 whole thing crashed." As a result, registration was put on hold for half a day until a smaller back-up computer was hooked up to finish regis­ tration for Friday. But Wells said that caused problems, too. "(REGI) was suffering be­ cause there wasn't enough memory in the smaller com­ puter," she said. "It couldn't answer all the phone calls." About 1,600 students who couldn't register Thursday jammed the smaller computer and phone lines Friday trying to get classes. Wells said students were frustrated because they thought it was REGI's fault they couldn't register. "It didn't have anything to do with REGI," she said. Mechanics repaired the large " ...

Wells also said a new program for REGI that will allow stu­ dents to find out their grades through the system is currently operational, and grades will be available "as soon as the pro­ fessors give us the grades," usually the week after finals week.

The Observer »• Observer eats crow they want their MTV Thursday, May 30, 1991 Page 3 by Darla Hill Editor Central students do want their MTV — one-third of the time. Following a recent Observer editorial, in which editors complained about the music video channel's over-extended airtime — especially in the dining halls — food service managers decided to check the situation out for themselves. A survey was distributed to students eating in the dining halls, asking them to state what hours they most frequently dined and what types of shows they most wanted to watch. "The best thing to do when people are complaining," said Bill Wood, Holmes Dining Hall manager, "is give the people the power to make the deci­ sions." The results were tabulated and students want a variety of programming and not just MTV, he said. And the popular choices have been set to a schedule and placed next to each TV in the dining hall. In other dining hall news: • Other surveys are planned — one now in the works has to do with food quality, service and atmosphere in the dining halls. "Surveys are the best way for us to be effective," said Tom Ogg, manager of Dining Ser­ vices. Another survey will ask stu­ dents to pick their favorite — and least favorite—foods. The information gained will be used in planning future menus. • Cutting down on wasteful • use of disposable products is on the front burner for the dining halls, Ogg said. Planned for next fall is the distribution of commuter-style plastic cups for regular re-use. Students will be asked to bring their cups with them to each meal, in order to cut down on the use of the styrofoam cups. Multi-use canvas bags will also be given out, in conjunction with the University Store, to replace the take-out paper bags and plastic book sacks cur­ rent y in use. •Bulletin boards in the din­ ing halls will make students aware of potentially wasteful habits. In a recent study of disposable product usage at the dining halls, staff learned the aver­ age diner uses about 4 napkins at each meal. That totals more than 3 million napkins a year and a big dip in the budget. If students were aware of fig­ ures like this, it could have a huge impact, Ogg said. If each student used three instead of four napkins use, the dining halls would save more than $4,000 a year. Couple: Shane a bit flighty when proposing From page 2 her a diamond." Though the sign was difficult for Heidi to read at first, she nevertheless figured out what it said and told Shane "yes." Shane said Heidi was shocked. "She was just staring at (the sign)," he said. The engagement marks the couple's 41/2-year anniversary of being together. Central senior may be next Gallup poller by Jennifer Mortensen Staff reporter Senior Corey Jacobson "Gallups" off to Lincoln, Neb., this summer, where he has landed an internship with SRI Gallup, a market research and national polling company. Jacobson, 21, will spend June 3 to Aug. 3 at the Gallup Academy, a division of ASRI Gallup used for employee training. He and eight others were se­ lected for the internship from a field of over 500 applicants. "It is a market research firm, so I guess 111 be doing a lot of plain old research," he said of the company made famous by its Gallup opinion polls. Jacobson and the other eight interns will work in teams of three for the summer. Each team will consist of a manager, a sales person and a research analyst. "The teams will go out and solicit area businesses and find out who needs market re­ search," he said. "Then we will bring them back into the firm and work with them there." Jacobson found out about the internship through a listing in the cooperative education cen­ ter. After sending in a r6sum6 and cover letter, he had two telephone interviews with the company. "And then they called me and said I was one of the nine se­ lected for the internship," he said. "They had applicants not only from all over the country, but internationally as well." Jacobson said he looks for­ ward to the practical experi­ ence he hopes he will receive from the internship. "The textbook is only so good ... I want to use this opportu­ nity to learn some practical sales and management skills." Jacobson, who is graduating next spring with degrees in marketing and international business, said he would like a career that involves both of these areas. "When I first get out of school, I would like to work for a large multinational corporation and work in their marketing de­ partment," he said. "Then eventually I'd like to get into the international side an|d work with international marketing." "It goes back to high school when my buddies and I were sitting around thinking of the most romantic thing to do for a girl," he said. "(But) my bud­ dies haven't done their ideas yet." Shane said he and Heidi, who met when they were juniors at Mountain View High School in Vancouver, Wash., plan to marry in December. He said it will truly be a mar­ riage made in Heaven.

Cleveland, dean of the school of business and economics. Students wishing to major in business-related areas will be required to have a minimum grade point average of 2.5 in order to be admitted to the school if the necessary funding isn't found to hire more fac­ ulty. Cleveland said the new re­ quirements would take effect sometime in the next year and a half. He wants to see them in place before the department officially applies for accredita­ tion and before the visitation team comes to evaluate the program. The grade point requirement may be raised to 2.75 if the 2.5 minimum does not significantly reduce the number of students interested in pursuing business degrees. The need to decrease student enrollment is the result of the department's attempt to be­ come accredited again. The accreditation process in­ volves the proper allocation of necessary resources to the stu­ dents. This will bring about some reallocations within the department, including in­ creased hiring of faculty with "We are concerned about the students." —Gerald L. Cleveland doctorate degrees. The cost factor involved in hiring a more specialized fac­ ulty and staff is one reason why the percentage of students in the school of business needs to be reduced. According to Cleveland, there is not enough funding to hire the necessary number of quali­ fied instructors to meet the needs of the students. The business department al­ ready pays some of the highest salaries in the university, Cleveland said. This is because the university has to pay pro­ fessors what they would be worth in the business world in order to draw them to the uni­ versity. Cleveland feels the accredi­ tation, which is unofficially set to take place in the spring of 1994, will be a benefit for the students as well as for the school Although he mentioned con­ cern about the effects the in­ creased requirements will have on the students. "We (the school of business and economics) are concerned about the students. We do not wish to become elitist, we just want to provide an opportu­ nity to up-grade the quality of education available," he said. Central is currently the only state-funded university—with the exception of The Evergreen State College — whose busi­ ness department is unaccredited. Cleveland is hoping the ac­ creditation will improve Central's image and provide increased opportunities for the students, opportunities the business department claims will make students more mar­ ketable for entry-level jobs.

Page 6 Thursday, May 30,1991 The Observer a: THE YEAR IN REVIEW mmssmamm j President Donald Garrity Provost Robert Edington A year of highs, a year of lows It's been a schizophrenic year at Central. Several of Central's lead­ ing administrators stepped down under pressure even as they worked hard behind the scenes to put a happy face on the lOOth-year fes­ tivities, the Wildcat football team lost its No. 1 national ranking in the Pennsylva­ nia mud, and the basketball teams quietly chafed under harsh NAIA disciplinary measures. In September, students caught in a campus and city housing shortage were sleeping in cars, checking into motels and frantically scanning the classified ads in search of a place to live. Students who were put up in Courson Hall, Central's conference center, were eventually placed in regu­ lar campus housing. But the question remains — what . about next year? In October, student Board of Directors officers led a sit-in protest against the library's new closing hours, which Dean Frank changed from midnight to 10 p.m. After a meeting with uni­ versity administrators, an agreement was reached to hire a new librarian and move the closing hour back to 11 p.m. These changes were implemented in January. In November, the National Council for the Accreditation of Teacher Education with­ drew its approval of Central's teacher education program, which graduates more teacher candidates annually than any other public uni­ versity in the state. Central officials claim the split stemmed from a philosophi­ cal difference between the Washington, D.C.-based council and the university and, at the time, chose not to appeal. In December, Central's football team, ranked No. 1 since early in the season, lost both its undefeated record See YEAR / page 7 Dean Jimmie Applegate CAUGHT AT THE TOP — Central's undefeated football team was ranked No. 1 on the NAIA's polls for most of the season.

At the same time, Central's men's basketball team, pe­ rennial contenders under former Coach Dean Nichol­ son, opened its first season under Gil Coleman with five straight losses. In January, while more than a dozen Central stu­ dents left for Saudi Arabia to participate in Operation Desert Storm in Marine and reserve military units, the university's faculty senate issued a controversial condem­ nation of the conflict between the U.S. and Iraq over the in- vasionofKuwait Some students led an anti-war protest in downtown Ellensburg, but the majority of students de­ cided to "support the troops." Also, Dr. Jimmie Applegate, who, as Central's dean of pro­ fessional studies oversaw the embattled teacher education program, announced his resig­ nation effective July 1. In February, faculty senate members voted to carry out an unprecedented ballot of no confidence in Provost Robert Edington, the university's No. 2 man and chief academic offi­ cer. Edington's management style had come under almost constant fire since he came to Central in 1988. In March, the vote was car­ ried out — and out of 318 vot­ ing faculty members, more than two-thirds stated no con­ fidence in Edington. The pro­ vost later announced his res­ ignation, effective July 31, stating he will return to Cen­ tral as a tenured professor of political science. In April, barely 10 days after Edington stepped down, Presi­ dent Donald Garrity sur­ prised the university with the announcement that he also would resign at the end of the calendar year. Garrity, 63, who has been at Central since 1978, has since ac­ cepted an invitation to teach at Kyoto University in Ja­ pan next year. A new presi­ dent will be named Dec. 6. Also, in this year's student elections, senior Eric Peter defeated Ryan Wasell to be­ come next year's student body president at Central. Current President Dan Sutich won his bid to become executive vice president. In May, Central kicked off the festivities of its year-long centennial celebration. In commemoration of the university's 100th birthday, graduates will wear the Central crimson at com­ mencement June 8 instead of the traditional black. r i i i i i i i i i /3X» "1 McDonald's is now hiring.

Worst bargain in town: The Marketing Club's coupon book, distributed at the beginning of each quarter. Every­ thing is so overpriced in this town anyway that a dollar off doesn't mean a hill of beans. Best cheap date: Free juice and coffee in the SUB during finals week. Bring candles, bring a tablecloth and find a quiet corner. There are lots. Worst cheap date: Dining in one of Central's eating establishments and then playing pool in the SUB games room. We're talking classy. Total cost: $3 tops. Best recycling effort: Central's dining halls are giving away "commuter cups" to students next fall and doing away with those styrofoam earth-chokers. Worst recycling effort: Look in any SUB garbage can Thursday afternoons. How many Observers and Safeway inserts do you see? Enough to wrap all of the sockeye salmon in the world, plus a few beluga whales. Best prof, generally speaking: One that challenges your beliefs, attitudes and abilities. One that isn't so rigid as to forget his or her purpose here — to teach. And one that doesn't grade you down for asking dumb questions. Worst prof, again generally speaking: One that bases your whole grade on one or two exams. Excuse me, but grades should reflect how well I learned, not how well I can regurgitate it in a couple of hours under pressure. Best place to live: Come fall, anywhere remotely near Ellensburg. Worst place to live: In your car, especially during the annual housing crunch fall and winter quarters. Brrr. Best place to see sweaty, scantily-clad bods: Be­ tween the Ganges and the south tennis courts, on a sultry, humid, saucy spring day. The ratio of flesh to clothing is roughly equivalent to the number of brain cells that Dan Quayle possesses to the number of jokes about them. Worst place to see some awesome, young, firm bods: Wellness Hour, in Nicholson Pavilion. Don't bother gawking at these geezers. Go eat lunch instead. Most over-used words used in The Observer: "Gen­ darmes." Once was more than enough. "O' plenty." We used that one o' plenty. And "Resignation." We couldn't help that one — it was news. Best thing to do after graduating: Get married, get gainfully employed, have kids, take on a mortgage, live happily ever after. Worst thing to do after graduating: Get a job working as a security guard in an applesauce factory. Or get a job cleaning up after commencement ceremonies. \ • GOING STRONG/ THE'3 ACADEMIC STAGES..! WINTER C&ETTW SOFT) BI/RNT ov T..... LETTERS Bias against age a form of discrimination For the past few weeks there have been articles in The Ob­ server trying to change the trends of sexual, racial and handicap discrimination. Yet in last week's Observance, the editors are guilty of discrimi­ nating against Shawn Christie because of his age. Granted, there are very few freshmen informed enough to be on the S&A fees committee. However, there are very few sophomores, juniors or seniors well enough informed. Christie is 18 years old, and in being so is legally an adult. He should be treated like one. I don't know Christie and he may not be qualified to be on the S&A committee, especially as its chairman. However, the editors should have stated something as a legitimate complaint against his ability. Christie, as a freshman, may also be a better candidate for the presidential search com­ mittee. He is going to be here for at least three years and the decision will affect him more than it does a junior or senior. I have asked around about Christie's abilities and have heard he is very informed. Ap­ parently he has spent a good part of his six months at Cen­ tral in the student Board of Directors office finding out about the issues and listening to ideas for solutions. The Observance reminded me of a (former editor) Mike Bush column with one difference: Busk's columns were meant to slander people and groups, but were not meant to be taken seriously the editorial was meant to be taken seriously. Peter A. Pratz Get off your high horse, Russell Several points addressed by Russell Johansen, director to clubs and organizations, in his letter responding to "MUN ac­ cuses fees committee of foul play" need to be clarified. We need to always obtain the "facts." Since it is difficult to obtain factual information from official sources who decline to comment, unofficial sources of information, and we must as­ sume from Johansen's letter therefore lying, must some­ times be used. Goodinvestigativejournalism often relies upon these unoffi­ cial sources. It is amazing that a student leader would have the audac­ ity to assert that a well-re- spected professor (Dr. Rex Wirth) would consider punish­ ing a student for their activi­ ties. Talk about unfounded, biased allegations! We have no way of knowing exactly what was meant or to be implied by the J.R. Walker quotation. Johansen said that because Walker is a "MUN member, former Observer staff and friend of the author" he is a biased source of information. Investigative reporters get their information from contacts that have been carefully culti­ vated to provide useful and truthful information. One would hope a leader and pillar of society would have the courage to check facts and con­ sider the implications of his statements before committing them to the editorial page of a newspaper.

The Observer Thursday, May 30,1991 Page 9 From LETTERS / page 8 Racism is everyone's problem We have come to the conclu­ sion there is a racism problem on this campus. We have had awareness talks about it and have services to deal with it. However, racism is still here. w What we as a campus need to do is recognize racism for what it is. It is not just a problem with the white population. It is everyone's problem. That means everyone must look at what they are doing— ^ including the blacks, Hispan- ics, Japanese, Native Ameri­ can and white students. Until every member of this school comes to terms with the issue for themselves and i stops passing the buck, we will ^ never get rid of racism. Billy Wagner Alcohol is a much more 'scary* drug In the March 16 Observer there was an article concern­ ing the "scary" drug LSD, a drug sources in the story say is fast invading our area. I suppose I would be alarmed about this news, except that there seems to be far fewer deaths from LSD than from a substance much more common­ place — alcohol. Over 225,000 people die every year in this country from this scary drug. It is a welcomed part of the day for all too many average folk on our campus. It is a truly wonderful thing for the students, in that it allows them the luxury of guiltless es­ capism. Removed from the fear of be­ ing treated as criminals, drink­ ers can quaff all night long, and then brag about it openly the next day. There has long been a doctrine in this country condemning LSD and marijuana, as well as their users, as threats to society. There is substantial medical evidence suggesting neither marijuana nor LSD is physi­ cally addicting and no evidence exists of substantial physical or neural damage associated with the use of either. Alcohol, on the other hand, does cause extensive damage to vital organs, such as the heart, liver and brain. And it is physically addicting — so much so that addicts can die from detoxification. Is this a threat to society? Marc d'Angelo Observer is 'crude to... insulting' I am writing in response to the advertisement for a new staff at The Observer. As a non-traditional student at Central, I find many of the choices made in this newspa­ per crude to the point of insult­ ing. I started at Central in Sep­ tember of 1988 and found the editorials demonstrated poor judgment and immaturity, as well as sexist, racist and often illegal attitudes. I remained silent because I was hopeful this would be cor­ rected with a new staff the following year. This was not to be the case. During the past year not only were there poorly-covered sto­ ries and editorials, the readers were bombarded with what I can only assume is political satire in the form of cartoons. What is ironic or humorous about a senile old man kicking a diaper-clad grandchild while the parents look on? Are we to believe it is OK to abuse the child because the offender is old? Are we to be­ lieve the parents are not going to intervene? How about the two students not knowing it is Parent's Weekend until their folks are at the door? This drawing not only sug­ gests they don't know what day or time it is, but they don't know because they consumed so much alcohol. Political cartoons are most ef­ fective when they make you think about an issue. The issue that comes to my mind when I see these is the lack of sensitivity and quality being brought to this publica­ tion. Linda Ferrler Year 'on the road' a thrill for bus driver Willie Nelson's wOn the road again" was the theme song for Central's motorcoach this year. The song refers to traveling with friends, doing things and going places we've never seen before. From Victoria, British Columbia, to Havre, Mont., to the Grand Canyon in Arizona it has been quite a year for the bus — and for its driver. This year has been one of the most exciting of my life. Central's great faculty and tre­ mendous students get the credit. All were kind, courte­ ous and fun to be around. I am very proud to be associated with the people of Central. Thank you to each of the fol­ lowing: Gary Frederick and the women's basketball team, Murray Larsen and the Resi­ dence Living staff, Bill Baker and the women's soccer team, Barry Donahue and the Dou­ glas Honors College, Greg Sambrano and the men's soc­ cer team, Gil Coleman and the men's basketball team, Robin MacAlpine and "his" recruits, Bob Gregson and the entire swim team, Cynthia Green and Asia University students, Mike Dunbar and some ofhis football team, John Gregor and the ski class, Don Ringe and his geol­ ogy class, Ken Wilson and the men's baseball team, Charles Chandler and the track and field teams, Gary Smith and the athletic trainers, and Spike Arlt and the cross-country teams. Steve Woodward Seasons in the sun some fun for one After two thick, viscous and generally pulchritudinous years at Central, my boots are finally made for walkin'. I've learned many things here, such as why guys talk to each other at urinals, why couples like to walk slowly on a closed path so nobody can pass, and what women do when they go en masse to the washroom. I've also learned if I moved to Antarctica, vigilant Alumni Association officials would track me down and vigorously massage me for contributions until I passed out. I've experienced nasal con­ gestion, unrequited love, soggy Rice Krispies, bad rap music, the wrath of Khan (known better as Don Garrity), joy, fun and seasons in the sun, not in any particular order. There are 94 people who think I'm a jerk, and I think the same of at least 11 of them. But then again, Topper's delivers. Some thank-yous are in or­ der, so here they are: thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you. Goodbye Central ... even if the stars we could reach were just starfish on the beach.

Page 10 Thursday, May 30,1991 The Observer Barefoot in the winter, barefoot in the spring HI ere I stand on the brink of graduation and I tell you what, am darn excited. At any point in life, there are exactly four outlooks you can have: Knowing exactly what you're doing and being fired up about it knowing what you're doing and being apathetic toward it having no clue whatsoever what lies ahead and worrying about it or having no clue whatsoever and being excited about it. I'm in the last category. For the longest time — well, since about January — I have thought I would stay in Ellensburg after I graduate, at least for the summer. Then next fall, I thought I might go to Minneapolis with some friends and live for a year. I just wanted to go. Go somewhere I haven't lived yet. Do something I haven't done yet. But on Sunday I decided I'm going home. My family all lives on the west side of the DARLA HILL Editor mountains — mom and dad still in the house I grew up in. That's where I'm headed. To do what, I don't know. Sometimes plans change that fast. Some might say I'm going backwards. Some might say "that's not living a life you haven't lived yet." But I say it is, because I have changed considerably over the past few years and I know how to see the same old things through new eyes. I can see new challenges and things to enjoy. I can have fresh, new relationships with my family. Cool. No matter what I do or where I go, there I am and there I'll be. My life's purpose is no longer dependent upon things or jobs or having a significant other. Those things can all be quickly taken away as if blown away with the wind. Wind is a good metaphor to use in this dandy city. The wife of our family doctor died suddenly last Friday. Bam. That's it. Financial trouble can come and all the material stuff goes out the window. See ya later alligator purse. The "dream job" may never ever come through (if there is such a thing anyway). The dream spouse may never come, nor the dream kids. I know someone who thinks she's invincible. Seriously. She thinks nothing bad will ever happen to her and truly that she just may never die. Life is hers and why worry about its purpose when she'll always have it? Scary. Life is going to end — sooner for some than others — and I don't know that there's much decision-making power after that point. Decisions need to be made now. There has got to be some­ thing — something giving us a secure future and a living purpose. For me, as a Christian, it's my faith. God can't fail me because I didn't make him up in my head somehow. God — if he is who he says he is — can't end. His character and plans aren't dependent upon me. That's my stability. What is yours? My challenge is for you to find that something that is secure and true and real. Find the something that says to you "this is your reason for living." And make sure you know it 100 percent. There are a lot of fake rea­ sons out there. Find truth. That is what life is all 0 about. Don't be living for nothing. And then, once you decide ... kick off your shoes and relax. Life is an adventure! "If I had to do it over," said a woman in a rest home, "I * would start barefooted earlier - in the spring and stay that way later in the fall. "I would play hooky more. I wouldn't get such good grades, except by accident. "I would burn more gaso- M , line. I would eat more ice cream and fewer beans," she said. "I'd try to make more mistakes next time. I would be sillier than I have been this trip. I would be crazier. I ^ would take more chances." There it is. A view from the wheelchair of advanced age. So get out there. Have some joy. Have some fun! These are great times for seasons in the sun. & [GRADUATION SPECIAL!!! !

The Observer Thursday, May 30,1991 Page 11 SCENE Shall we dance? *Yes' says a Central sophomore in what she called a once in a lifetime chance Jill Johnson flew east last Thursday for the "Ring Dance,' an annual ceremonial event at the Naval Academy in Annapolis, Md. as the date of longtime friend Chris Sledge. Jill Johnson/Special to the Observer by Gina Zukoski Scene editor For one Central student, last Friday night was nothing short of "magical." While most of us spent hours toiling in preparation for final exams, sophomore Jill John­ son enjoyed a respite some 3,000 miles away. Johnson, 20, attended the "Ring Dance" at the Naval Academy in Annapolis, Md. with a longtime friend, Chris Sledge. Johnson received the invita­ tion from Sledge, who attends the Naval Academy, in March. Said Johnson, "(his) note basi­ cally said, 'Hi, how are you? Wanna go to a dance?'" After some deliberation, Johnson accepted. Her grand­ mother offered to pay for her plane ticket. The Naval Academy's "Ring Dance" has been an annual event since 1925. The ceremony involves academy juniors, and this year more than 1,000 en- rollees participated. "During the dance, the guys take their class ring and dip it in water from the seven seas," said Johnson in a telephone interview from Maryland Monday. "This is considered the baptism of the ring... then the ring is placed with the crest facing outward which symbol­ izes loyalty to the school, and a quest for new horizons.'' Did she kiss him? "Of course," said Johnson. "It's traditional during the ring ceremony!" Johnson did express disap­ pointment in one element of the ceremony. "I had hoped to walk under swords and when we didn't, it was a major disappointment," she said. Johnson was told that the ceremonial sword walk is reserved for (naval) weddings. After the ceremony, Johnson and Sledge went to dinner and walked around the academy, "Then we walked all along the beach at Chesapeake Bay." - iSS'/M. SftWfrW £2 '///////•/Y-K *, , ! « mm Chris Sledge The whole episode has made me so excited," said Johnson. "I felt like a princess. I almost can't explain it... it's just been magical." "I wore a black, off-the-shoul- ders dress with white lace," she said, adding a pearl neck­ lace, pearl earrings and black gloves. Johnson and Sledge attended school together in Oak Harbor, Wash. They were friends then and have kept in touch. "We have been writing letters since high school," said John­ son. Sledge, 20, will be stationed in Oak Harbor this summer. "I am sure we will see each other," she said. After the Ring Dance Friday night, Johnson spent the next few days sightseeing. "I went to Ocean City and walked on the boardwalk ... they have the most incredible 'boardwalk fries,'" Johnson said. "Sunday, I went to an Orioles-Yankees game in the outdoor Orioles Stadium... but the Yankees won." During the weekend, John­ son stayed with her aunt who resides in Seberna Park, Md., (about 10 miles from Annapolis). "I just love the East Coast and this weekend it's been hot and humid," said Johnson. "I could really live here." In fact, she "doesn't want to comeback... not that Central's a bad place or anything, but I am not looking forward to com­ ing back just before finals." Before departing, Johnson, a sophomore majoring in com­ munications, talked to her pro­ fessors who were "very sup­ portive ... they told me to have a good time," she said. She added, "Even though I brought my books, I never opened them." Artist's work influenced by 'comic books, campy humor, bad films and noisy music9 by Karri Matau Staff reporter After two years of prepara­ tion Scott Mansfield, 23, will finish up his master's degree in fine arts with his thesis ex­ hibit on June 2-7. The exhibit will consist of drawings and sculptures. Mansfield graduated from Central in the spring of 1989 with a bachelor's in fine arts and decided to continue on and get his master's degree. Al­ though he *lans on getting his Master of Fine Arts in the fu­ ture, he is going to wait a while and "live and work," said Mansfield. "An M.F.A. is the terminal degree for studio artists," said Mansfield. He said that pos­ sessing an M.F.A. makes it easier for a person to teach at the university level. Mansfield said he was first drawn to Central for its graph­ ics program. After several painting classes he got the "fine art bug." He took a sculpture class and found that he enjoyed it. "I had a lot of success with sculpture early on so I contin­ ued with it," said Mansfield. To begin a sculpture Mansfield said that he created images and shapes out of bronze, wood or aluminum. He then combines and recombines these parts until they begin "to ...j .y.j.wm Nicole Patzer/The Observer Scott Mansfield does much of his work in his studio at home. make sense together" said Mansfield. "I practically live in Randall Hall, and when I'm not there I'm thinking about my work," said Mansfield. "Ill probably never have the chance to de­ vote so much time to making art again." Mansfield said that he doesn't try to change people's minds with his work. "My work does deal with cer­ tain political ideas or subjects, but I try not to be overtly po­ litical," he said. "My work is concerned with the basic ideas of life, death, love, guilt, and sex," said Mansfield. "My work is also influenced by fun, trivial things like comic books, campy hu­ mor, bad films and noisy mu­ sic. So there are two sides to what I do." Mansfield's exhibit continues through June 7.

Page 12 Thursday, May 30,1991 The Observer Z-Trane, good-bye bashes and just plain good-byes Loads of stuff to report this week, so let's get busy. Today at noon, the College of Letters, Arts and Sciences lec­ ture series features Dr. John F. Pickett, "A Musical Dis­ cussion of Liszt and Goethe: The Influence of Faust on the Piano Sonata." Hertz Recital Hall provides the setting, and the lecture is open to the pub­ lic, sans admission charge. Also today in Hertz, Larry the Wind Ensemble is in concert beginning at 8 p.m. More Hertz events this week­ end: Tomorrow, Brent John­ son (a music composition ma­ jor) presents his Senior Recital at 8 p.m. Saturday at 3 p.m. Kurt Harbaugh/percussion pre­ sents his Senior Recital. Later Saturday at 8 p.m., Mariko Miyamoto/soprano and Vicki Alvarado/mezzo- soprano present a joint recital. Sunday, the University Chorale and Chamber Choir perform at 3 p.m. I encourage each and every one of you to catch our local bands this summer. The Divining Rods will be $WMf: GINA ZUKOSKI Scene editor performing "The 1st Annual Graduation Celebration" on Friday night, June 7, at Adeline's. Then on June 8 they will play the Lox, Stock and Bagel in Seattle's University District. June 16, you can find them at Pioneer Square's Cen­ tral Tavern. A big highlight: On June 22, they will be at the Offramp in Seattle, performing with the Young Fresh Fellows. Glum will be at the 1501 Club on Seattle's Capitol Hill Satur­ day, June 22. I have some good-bye bashes to mention. First, today at 9 p.m. you can catch Z-Trane downstairs at Adeline's. The band performs oldies and goodies — covers ranging from the Doors to Elvis — and is well-known for its consistent performances from 1988-90. You may have heard the band at the Tav, the Buckboard, the Hitching Post, the Rainier Beer Bite of Seattle, the Orondo Pub in Wenatchee, the Brick Tav­ ern in Roslyn ... Tomorrow night, KXLE-FM presents "The Last Chance to Party and Dance," at the Thunderbird. This is a fare­ well party with Central's (just resigned) minority admissions counselor Robin MacAlpine. Doors open at 9 p.m. MacAlpine has been instru­ mental in boosting the local music scene, through his dances, talent shows, Party- Line and an abundant enthu­ siasm for local entertainment. I have been fortunate enough to report entertain­ ment for the better part of two years. This is the last time (in this medium) that I will do so, as graduation looms in my near future (August!). I would like to thank those of you who have kept me so in­ formed and have been so pro­ ductive in Ellensburg's music scene this year. This includes the Divining Rods (a great band and great guys), Robin MacAlpine, Glum, Adeline's owner Ron Hall and disc jockey Brad Torgeson, who are jointly re­ sponsible for creating a new, safe and rockin' social focus in town which I have immensely enjoyed, John Wicks and his KXLE-FM Sunday jazz show, Pat Hodges, owner of the New Mint for supporting live music, Rich Carr at KXLE-FM for sponsoring many of the new bands and the year's finest bashes, and the list goes on! I also wish to thank all my friends who have made my three years at Central so en­ joyable, and my Mom, Dad and "Coach" John Moawad for their financial assistance and mentorship.

Miller Sports editor Central's sports teams had some great moments over the past nine months, and to recap some of these memorable events here is a look back at what happened in sports at this university this past year. U The Wildcat football team, by winning its game against Western Washington 28-16 September 29, 1991, became the No. 1 ranked NAIA Divi­ sion II football school for the first time in school history. The previously No. 1 ranked team Missouri Valley lost that week to catapult the 'Cats into the top spot which they held throughout the season until losing in the third round of the playoffs to eventual national champion Westminster, Pa. U The men's basketball team began a new era without Hall- of-Fame coach Dean Nicholson for the first time in over 30 years. Nicholson resigned, and the baskeball program was placed on a two-year suspen­ sion after it was learned Nicholson had used money generated from his summer basketball camp and given it to players. New head coach Gil Coleman took over and led the Wildcat basketball team to a 14-14 record after the team started the season at 1-8. * U Central's men's swimming team captured its ninth Dis­ trict 1 title in the past 10 years, INTRAMliRAL SOFTBALL ral soffcball season came to V//'S/////.- wr/an. wmwmmmrnmmMMmmm, wmm wmm- Waft Atkinson/The Observer Central rugby player Dave Heinen is tackled by a group of Oregon State players in a home match back in February. The rugby club was one of several Wildcat teams that had a banner year. The men's rugby club finished with a 15-2 record for the season. winning the district meet by well over 200 points. Both the men's and women's teams placed in the top seven at the national tournament. U Central's wrestling team completed its best season since 1985 under new coach Jim He ikes. The team placed 11th at nationals, improving from last year's 44th place, and had four All-Americans. U Central's men's and women's rugby squads contin­ ued to improve this season. The men's club finished with a 15-2 record, despite the fact the club lost Club Senate funding in November, and will be moved up to the A' Division for next season. The women also won their first match ever this sea­ son. U The baseball team reached the NAIA Division 1 playoffs for the fifth year in a row, but failed to make the regional tournament losing to Whitworth.
