NEWS SCENE pages8-9 SPORTS Thursday, February 6,1992 Central Washington University Vol. 10 No. 12 Peace and quiet at no cost to students by Kristina Hansen Copy editor Central's relationship with Japanhasneverbeen stronger, and no where is that more evident than by the construc­ tion of the Japanese garden, said Kelly Ainsworth, director of international programs. The garden, located behind the tennis courts off Walnut Mall, is estimated to cost $224,000 with a substantial portion of that coming in do­ nations from Kijoto University and the Shimane government and Shimane University. Also, a $51,000 grant was awarded to Central in 1990 from the Japanese government through the Japan World Ex­ position. "We are able to build this garden because of the generous help of the Japan World Ex­ position Commemorative Fund," said Ainsworth. The remaining funds will come from Central's minor capitol allocation fund for cam­ pus landscaping. "This garden in no way im­ pacts student funds or pro­ grams," said John Holman, di­ rector offacilities management. The money for landscaping was approved by the state Legislature in the 1989 bien- nium, Holman said. "We had to use the money for landscaping, so why not make something people can enjoy," said Bill Engle, supervisor of grounds maintenance. A traditional Japanese garden is considered sacred ground and offers people a place that is quiet and tranquil. "The garden is a place of meditation and reflection which captures nature in its essence and- symbols," said Ainsworth. The Japanese garden will also be used as a learning tool for anyone interested in Japanese culture.'

Funds for the new building are provided by capital appropria­ tions, general revenue and timber trusts. The chimp family, Dar, Washoe, Tatu, Moja, and Loulis have not been outside in 11 years, said Dr. Roger Fouts, psychology professor. "If you can imagine a prison security where they don't see any sun or feel any breeze," said Fouts, "you can see what these chimps are missing."

Businesses born with city's help by Marc Bruno Staff reporter Central and the City of El- lensburg have teamed up to give small businesses a fight­ ing chance. The Ellensburg Business In­ cubator is a program designed to help small businesses sur­ vive their first five years of development, at which point they "hatch" into surrounding Kittitas County. The mission of the Incubator is to encourage local employ­ ment and economic diversifi­ cation by providing a tempo­ rary, multi-tenant building for businesses at a reduced rental charge, and provide free busi­ ness management assistance through Central's School of Business and Economics. The Incubator is designed to accommodate four businesses, although there are only three currently involved with the program: Cascade Specialty Candy RS Cabinetry and Fur­ niture and Quinn's Foods. Businesses that apply for the Incubator program must ex­ port the majority of its prod­ ucts outside Kittitas County to See INCUBATOR/ page 2
Page 2 Thursday, February 6,1992 The Observer ^ From INCUBATOR/ page 1 avoid competing with local re­ tail businesses. Formed in 1988, the Incuba­ tor facility is owned by the City of Ellensburg and operated under a joint-venture agree­ ment with Central. Jim Bradley, the program manager and instructor at Central, said about 90 percent of all small businesses fail in the first five years of existence. Quinn's Foods was the first business to enter the program. Owned and operated by Mike Moeur, Betty Quinn Moeur, and sister Susie Quinn Cochran, Quinn's Foods pro­ duces salsa and pasta sauces using their own recipes. After two years of private- labeling salsa exclusively for Nordstrom's gift department from a cannery in Sunny side, Quinn's Foods decided to up­ grade their business and moved into the Incubator. Quinn's Foods provides about 20 part-time jobs during the canning season, usually August through November. "We do our year's supply of salsa when the peppers and onions in the Yakima valley are ready," said Betty Moeur. Moeur said her company didn't take full advantage of the management assistance available because her business was already running before they entered the Incubator. However, she said it's com­ forting to know that financial advice, bookkeeping, and marketing assistance are available at her request. "If there's some expertise at Central that we really need help with, we could go to the Incubator manager and ask him if he has either a student or professor in a certain area who could help us," Moeur said. Central students also benefit from the Incubator because it allows them the opportunity to learn from a "hands on" expe­ rience rather than from some hypothetical business, Moeur said. Moeur said there's a lot of satisfaction in owningher own business, but the hours can be long and stressful - up to 18 hours per day during canning season. "Small businesses are ex­ tremely difficult," Moeur said. "It's not an easy business and I wouldn't tell anybody it was. "There are probably a heck of a lot of easier ways to earn a living." Campus police stories The following stories are the vivid recre­ ations of actual police reports as told to The Observer by campus Police Chief Steve Rittereiser. A man started a fire in Muzzall Hall causing $400 in damages. The plants around the modulars North of Black Hall were vandalized. Someone broke into the chimp lab which is under construction and stole $791 worth of construction equipment, including a facsimile machine, some portable radios, and a piece of aluminum scaffolding. Police have no suspects at this time, but pawn shops and recycling centers in the area have been alerted. A 4x4 print was taken from the third floor common area of the Language and Literature building. The print, located near the philosophy offices, was taken between Jan. 30th and Feb. 3rd. Approximately 20 paintballs were shot at the west side of Muzzall Hall this week. Someone took an unknown amount of candy from a candy machine in Stevens-Whitney. Police said someone broke a 24x6 hole in the window of a candy machine and made off with the candy. Police Crime Prevention Tip of the Week: The warm weather may cause more people to take their bikes out again, so remember to lock up your bicycleis. There has been a good deal of bikes stolen this week. Also, the bike path is now complete, so all bikers are advised to ride on the bike path instead of the pedes­ trian mall in order to avoid congestion or accidents. Campus Cop will be back next week. From GARDEN/ page 1 interested in Japanese culture and members of the commu­ nity, known as "Friends of the garden," will do basic mainte­ nance on the garden with ma­ jor landscaping maintenance done by Central's grounds crew, said Holman. The landscaping was provided by Masa & Associates, Inc. of T.uaiatin, Ore. Masa Mizuno, the owner, re- ceived extensive training in Japanese gardening and landscaping in Tokyo from 1970 to 1977, after which he moved to Portland. According to a report by fa­ cilities management to Central's Board of Trustees, four lanterns totaling $25,000 were donated from Kijoto Uni­ versity and two lanterns to­ taling $10,000 were donated by Shimane University. Also expected in the garden: an arbor costing $8,000 benches valued at $1,100 six pine trees each costing $175 14 spruce trees each costing $400 and a rock and gravel "zen" garden costing $5,000. A teahouse and pagoda have not yet been donated but are being planned for the future. Dale Brotherton, owner of Takumi Co., of Seattle, is building the front gate. Brotherton did his apprentice work in Japan from 1978 to 1981. According to Holman, the gate will be built with no nails, dow­ els or glue. All wood pieces will fit in finger joints and be hand- planed. ^ The garden will be enclosed ^ by a fence and open only dur­ ing daylight hours. Central will provide security with regular patrols along Walnut Mall. Holman said eveiy part of the garden will be visible by officers on foot or bicycle. The grandopening of the gar­ den is expected to coincide with Japan Week April 6 - 12. From CHIMPS/ page 1 chimps can look outside is a small room from the third floor of the psychology building overlooking the parking lot. Fouts said right now the chimps have activities, games, magazines and they even cel­ ebrate holidays, but they're missing the outdoors. Fouts said he has a moral and ethical responsibility to them. The chimps need a humane and physical environment since they can never be returned to their original environment once they've been brought into a cultural setting, said Fouts. Fouts noted a few years ago one of the chimps was returned to its original habitat and was killed by the other chimps. Fouts said the chimps did not volunteer to be research chimps and believes we need to give them the best environ­ ment possible. "We have a responsibility," said Fouts "to treat the chimps with respect." When the building is com- ^ pleted and the chimps have adjusted to the new facilities, Fouts hopes the program will become self-supporting by or­ ganized sessions for tours and a gift shop containing souvenir items. 4 MOUNTAINVIEW SERVICES AVAILABLE w Tune Ups - Winterize v£& Brakes - exhaust ) T r^:i P_ u:u— O/ °fa ^ Lube Oil & Filter ^ Transmission Dave can fix your gas or diesel engine 711 S.

The Observer Thursday, February 6,1992 Pag® 3 Central's glass cockpit unique by Robert Koser Contributing writer When the military cut the number of flight slots avail­ able by half, many people thought the flight technology program would suffer. The number of ROTC flight technology students have de­ creased substantially, but Central's flight technology program is not wilting its blooming. The Federal Aviations Ad­ ministration has offered Cen­ tral a $696,000 grant for com­ puterization of its flight simu­ lators and training equipment. If the grant is awarded, Cen­ tral will purchase a computer­ ized flight simulator called a glass cockpit, which is ex­ pected to make Central'sflight technology department one of the best. To receive the grant Central had to reach an agreement ROTC active duty placement above national average By Andrew Martin Staff reporter Central's Army ROTC bat­ talion continues to prove that it's one of the best in the na­ tion. Ninety-three percent of the battalion's graduating class were placed in active duty offi­ cer slots after graduating this year. A figure well above the national average of 58 percent, said U.S. Army Capt. Neil Brogren. Brogren said the cadets ap­ plied for their slots at the be­ ginning of their senior year. They listed their 10 prefer­ ences for duty and then their requests were sent to the na­ tional ROTC headquarters. Cadets are selected for active or reserve duty based on their GPA, a recommendation from their ROTC instructors, and their advanced camp scores, said Brogren. Cadets attend the camp be­ tween their junior and senior years. "The cadets did very well at camp this past summer. They placed second, overall, out of 21 schools," Brogen said. "Those scores are based on rifle marksmanship, physical training tests, squad tactics, peer evaluations and write-ups by their tactical officers." "The results happened be­ cause of the training we re­ ceived and because we have a dedicated group of cadets," Cadet Robert Bertrand, 21, a law and justice major said. "I was pleased with the results." Bertrand was placed in an infantry slot for his work in the ROTC program. Cadet Jim Cannon, 27, a business and economics major who received a field artillery slot said he wasn't expecting so many cadets to get active duty. "I was surprised because I expected a lower percentage to get active duty but our train­ ing was good and it made the cadets a tight-nit group," he said. H W.VSJ with Kittitas County Commis­ sioners to lease 7.5 acres at Bowers Field, located west of campus. An agreement which was finalized Tuesday Jan. 27. The county has authorized the lease at $1 a year for the first 25 years of the 75-year lease. After the first 25 years, the lease payments will be based on a formula used for the State Department of Natural Re­ sources' Bower field facility. The price of the lease is a definite reflection on how the county supports Central and its flight technology program. With a signed lease, the grant from the FAA is expected to be made official sometime this week. SAVE MONEY ON MILK !

The glass cockpit is much more advanced than the flight simulators Central is currently using. It is hoped students will gain valuable experience with the digital controls of the new simulator. "Central will be the only uni­ versity in the United States with this type of glass cockpit," Envick said. By the end of the decade, Envick hopes Central will be known as one of the best, if not the best, colleges for flight technology. \Romantic\ Valentine Ideas 4 MULTICULTURAL PROGRAM RICHELLE IS HAPPY TO SERVE YOU Sponsored by the Human Rights Council KIDS VS.

Some of these sightings have been as close as 40 miles from Central. The most recent evidence of a nearby grizzly appeared last summer when biologists posi­ tively identified some prints as being those of a grizzly. Confirmed sightings and hard evidence of grizzly bear activivity is rare. "Out of 100 incidents, as many as 20 have been con­ firmed," Phillips said. Wildlife biologists speculate that food and the bear's need for a suitable reproductive ha­ bitat, are the reasons for the recent rise in the grizzly popu­ lation in the North Cascade region. Lee Stream, ofthe Department of Fish and Wildlife in Yakima, said he would like to find an area where a grizzly could be captured. Researchers would then fit it with a transmitter which would give them detailed information about these local bears. Michael Tonseth, a biology major, describes the grizzly as very elusive. He believes this explains why one has not yet been in the North Cascades. "(Collaring) is the only practical way to study their behavior and migratory pat­ terns," Tonseth said. Although 20 bear sightings have been confirmed, Phillips suspects that there are only three to five bears which actually inhabit the millions of acres in the cascades. According to Tonseth, until the col­ laring takes place the North Cascades griz­ zly will remain an anonymous specter of the local woods. ... a. - , a ,0MC- i tV " ^ m-v.v. •••• ,, '-s « . vWlBP'-:'' • * : file photo Grizzlies: Central's new neighbors? Central night club in the works by Katy Anderson Staff reporter A new nightclub for students to be located south ofthe caf­ eteria in the Samuelson Union Building, is in the planning stages, said Dan Sutich, Central's student Board of Di­ rectors vice president. Sutich said he is hopeful con­ struction will start as early as this summer. The four-person committee working on the first stages of the project are now seeking ways to get funds for the project, Sutich said. The committee, whose main concern is financial planning and the summary proposal, would like to see alumni, par­ ents and businesses as the main source of funding for the club. "We want to try to involve businesses in this region in this idea," said Sutich. The four-person committee consists of Sutich, Gisella Zuniga, director for SUB fa­ cilities planning council, Karen Mowad, director of the SUB, and Dan Layman, manager of food services. Sutich said when the plans get underway, another com­ mittee will be formed to oversee details, such as: club hours, who can use the club, what type of food will be available, the club's name and what theme it will carry. Sutich hopes to get students involved in this process. "There will be guaranteed student involvement through the whole process," said Sutich. When completed, Sutich said the area may include activities ranging from stand-up comics, dances and "sports nights" with a big screen T.V. The activities could be spon­ sored by university clubs or campus organizations. The club will be complete with a dance floor, cafe-style booths, a disc jockey station, and a non­ alcoholic bar. Food will also be available ranging from pizza to hamburgers, to bread sticks. Sutich said the committee wants to make the plans com­ plete. "We are taking a step by step approach to make a quality at­ mosphere," said Sutich. Some of the information for ideas came from the Univer­ sity of Wisconsin, Eauclair. Sutich said they (U. of Wis.) had twice attempted to get their project the way they wanted it. "We want to get it right the first time," Sutich said.

The Observer Thursday.February 6,1992 Page 5 Centennial celebration continues by Greg L. Miller Contributing Writer Central's centennial activi­ ties continue Feb. 8 in Sue Lombard Hall with a birthday celebration commemorating the university's first 100- years. The celebration replaces the previously scheduled centen­ nial costume dinner and the centennial ball that were to be held that day. Gail J ones, director of alumni affairs and chairman of cen­ tennial activities, said the birthday celebration would replace the other two events because there were too many other similar activities taking place on campus. 'The Success has come from the cam­ pus community and its attitude towards (the Centennial)/ —Gail Jones Director of Alumni Affairs "The dinner and ball commit­ tee members decided that given all the activities going on cam­ pus, a less formal evening would be more appropriate at this time," Jones said. The celebration, which is semi-formal and open to all, will run from 8 p.m. to mid­ night and will offer hors d'oeuvres and an open bar. Tickets are priced at $5 and can be purchased at the SUB information booth or the alumni affairs office. Jones said centennial activi­ ties have been successful so far, even though revenues an­ ticipated by the planning com­ mittees for the activities fell far short of expectations. The projected budget for the year was estimated at $200,000, however only about $35,000 was raised. Even with the lack of funds, Jones is pleased with the suc­ cess of the centennial. '^We've been doing quite well," she said, "We've shown great responsibility in how the money (for centennial activities) has been spent. "The success has come from the campus community's atti­ tude towards it," Jones said. Current centennial activities include Max Benjamin's works of pastels in the Sarah Spurgeon Gallery in the art building. Benjamin, a Northwest painter, has been doing pastel works on paper since the early 1960s. The exhibit is on display until Jan. 31, Monday - Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and features 30 pieces of art from his collection. Gallery director Jim Sahlstrand said the response to the pastels has been good. An exhibit of Glass Art fea­ turing work of 11 former Cen­ tral graduates, is scheduled for the gallery Feb. 8 - Mar. 6. CHINESE NEW YEAR The Year of the Monkey '"•'r •...

Most of the students made the trip to Olympia in the two busses provided by the Board of Directors. Of the 40 districts in the state, the Central coalition represented 35. Private appointments were made with each student's district representative. Student leaders from cam­ puses throughout the state spoke before committee meet­ ing discussing the possibel tu­ ition hike. Central was the only school who brought a large group of students on Tuesday. The Universtiy of Washing­ ton made a visit with students last week. A large demonstra­ tion was made by the UW stu­ dents and the Central visit was designed for a more construc­ tive show of disapproval about the possible 14 percent tuition raise.

Page 6 Thursday, February 6, 1992 The Observer OBSERVAN Pros and cons of Safety Escort Service The lights appear to be dimming on the proposed Safety Escort Service. The proposal has been the pet project of student Board of Directors President Eric Peter and his staff. After a year of solicting support and signatures, the diffi­ culty of getting the service approved by the board of trustees seems to be wearing it thin. At last Friday's meeting of the President's advisory council, it turned from a solid plan into swiss cheese with one question after another on the paticulars of a safety escort service. The positives have been laid out: • Most universities in Washington state have an escort service. • Those programs work, therefore so should ours because it is modeled after other working programs. • Donations of equipment and money have been promised • 2500 student signatures on a petition for the proposed service. But, who wouldn't sign a petition now-a-days? Did they know it would cost them two bucks extra every quarter? During a time of looming tution increases is it good public relations to be asking for more money? And not every student enrolled at Central lives on campus, or even in Ellensburg. It was pointed out by Peter that only students who are taking more than six credits and attend classes on the Ellen sburg campus would be charged. This left a figure of about 3000 students. That times $2 equals $6000. And that multipled by three quarters equals $18,000. This figure is quite a bit short of the $35,000 estimated cost of the service after donations. One reason Central has never initiated a safety escort service is because this is pretty much the safety capital of universities. Central has an extremly low incidence of crime. And Peter does not deny that. He pointed out they are trying to be "pro-active." "Pro-active" is a political catch word for the 90s. Something like when administrators say they are going to improve the lines of communication. Rhetoric to help fill out the sausage casing. Linda Ruffer, director of the women's resource center, made her position clear. The system would put the focus on men as protector or preditor. Ruffer suggested using money to create self-defense classes people could take inorder to empower themselves. Students could and do empower themselves each time they call a friend when they feel unsure about traveling on campus. Personal plans. Calling friends, people they know trust, who will walk with them. It is a real answer to the problem. It is an inexpesive answer. The Safety Escort Service, would work. In fact it would probably go into action unoticed. The $2 would just be a little scar tissue on the massive wound tuition will probably become next year. A few people would get jobs as escorts and some people would get a free ride to the Tav. And that select few on the BOD could use this program to pad their resumes. h 4 University WE WELCOME $ DIVERSITY CULTURE ©H11 KJMMEKMNJ IIIIUIIO Basket complaint To the editor: The end of the quarter and finals week will be upon us sooner than we think. I'm writing to express my sheer disgust in something the Business and Economic Club calls "Finals Week Baskets." Let me relate my experience from last quarter to you. I was taking a much needed nap when a bang at my door woke me. I got up only to find a "basket" had been thrown at my door and was lying indiscriminately on its side. My "basket" included a note with the well-wishes of my family. On the top of the note were the names and the prices of each "basket." I marveled at the tackiness of this and continued to unwrap this Saran-Wrap atrocity. My "basket" was actually a paper plate, and for $13 my parents bought me an apple, IllPEiiMMiii illilSHIIfiB iamnHHi length, styte, spelling and a pear, two candy bars, one string cheese, one muffin and a small bag of cocoa. The advertised reusable basket my parents thought they were sending me was no­ where in sight. Needless to say, my parents, as well as myself, were slightly hacked. Students, while there is still time, call home, write a letter, warn your parents not to fall for the sleazy advertising tactics of the Business and Econom­ ics Club. The best thing in that pseudo "basket" was my parent's well-wishes, and they could have given me that for 29 cents. I, for one, wish they had, and I know this quarter they will. Thanks mom and dad for thinking of me, and thanks to the Business And Economics Club for taking my parents to the cleaners for a pitiful thing called a "Finals Week Basket."

I protest the way The Observer handled the piece about the happenings at Hertz Hall the night of Saturday 25. In an overview, the story seems to be routine reporting, much like every piece done in that column. But, wasn't this a story deserving of a more complete and far more sensitive rendering? Was it necessary to dehumanize and treat superficially the human events of that night. Much has been spoken in the last several days about "the guy who lost it at Hertz", but all on the campus should be aware that this man had a name he had friends. One of them was at the concert. But, no one came to that friend to ask questions. His answers might have told a different story. His answers may have identified much of what was written as hearsay and rumor. In light of this, it seems, The Observer wrote that information that fell into its lap and failed to dig for the less obvious facets of the story, it failed to get the goal of the journalist: the whole truth. Further, The Observer directly connected the man to other incidents on the basis of police suspicion. Our courts do not assume guilt on the basis of suspicion, why should this man be tried by a college paper? It is true, the American press has a responsibility to remain objective, but need it also be insensitive to its subjects and readership? Must the press dehumanize to be effective? I should hope not, or I would not pursue a career in that field. Brandon George Beams Abortion rebuttal To the editor: This is in response to Mike Radice's commentary of Jan. 30. Quote: "Morally, I feel abor­ tion to be wrong. However, I'm not here to be anyone's Perfect Hearts 1$ III* Valentine Gift Jewelry BUTTON JEWELERS QUALITY MERCHANDISE SINCE 1940 morality.... How can one person, or group of people, tell another what's wrong and what's right, especially in government?'' How lofty. How fashionable. How politically correct. How tragically ignorant. What Mr. Radice, and the multitudes of others who blissfully mouth the same sentiments, fails to realize is that every society in history has legislated morality, at least in the arena of person- to-person relations. Indeed, it is quite impossible for society to exist without such a code. Social contract theory, as formulated by Thomas Hobbes and John Locke in the seventeenth century, was well known to the framers of our Constitution - the same Constitution which abortion advocates say guarantees a "right" to end a pregnancy. The social contract involves the members of a society giving up a measure of their unlimited freedom of action in order to gain the benefits of a government whose primary responsibility is the welfare of the citizens. Even a cursory consideration of our system shows that such a - contract was considered essential by this nation's founders. The rub comes in determin­ ing who is to benefit from government protection. Admittedly, we have not discovered scientifically when an unborn child becomes a unique human being such an empirical determination may be beyond our abilities. But, what cannot be denied is that a fetus, regardless of its stage of development, may already be a person - not in potential, but in fact. Since we cannot rule this out, and since human life is (potentially) at stake, if we are to err let it be on the side of caution. On these grounds abortion simply is not justifiable. Inevitably, there will be those who, instead of at-" tempting to refute this argument, will merely raise a loud chorus of "CHOICE!" For such, I am reminded of Pavlov's classic stimulus- response studies. It is not idle speculation to wonder who may be doing the condi­ tioning.

I waited there approximately 45 minutes after the lunch hour for either the dean or the assistant dean to arrive. During this time I was subject to one of the few put- downs I have ever personally suffered on this campus, due, I think in part, to some misguided notions about the importance of students on this campus. At about five minutes before the arrival of the assistant dean a young man named Keith, a Central employee also needing a signature, arrived. I was told by the receptionist that this Keith had more important matters to occupy the dean's time and would, therefore, go ahead of me. Not only did the recep­ tionist exhibit a disregard for proper etiquette, but her assumption is absolutely false. I remind her that if it were not for students she would not receive a bi­ monthly check from Central. Nor would the dean, the assistant dean, or any other employee. Now, I'm one who knows that after several years and five dependents that there is relatively little more impor­ tant than the paycheck one receives to support family and accustomed status of living. My efforts to obtain and upgrade the same for my family through higher education are equally if not more important than the papers Keith needed signed. Especially considering the number who will benefit not only form the pay check I will eventually bring home, but countless others whose quality of life may be im­ proved by my career as an educator.

Cheesecake anyone? Good food, friends, and great coffee at the Valley Cafe' by Marvin Rosete Staff reporter If you're ever looking for a great place to have dinner, dessert, or just one heck of an espresso shake, there is a place in Ellensburg just for you. Kitty corner to the post of­ fice, the Valley Cafe is ready to serve. The V alley Cafe is one of the oldest restaurants in Ellens- burg (opening in 1938) and is now owned by Gregory Beach. Although its listed on the "Northwest's Best -Places, " Mr. Beach continues to keep the cafe in its original 1938 condition, complete with linolieum floors, bar stools, and Local art. The food and the service are top quality. Everything made at the Valley Cafe is made from scratch and the desserts, breads and soups are home made with the coffee and espresso chosen from select Starbucks blends. Prices are very reasonable, with meals running from $6 to $14 a group of four could dine for less than $50, compared to $70 to $100 in restaurants in Seattle. The Cafe's hors d'oeuvre se­ lections provides a lot of food for the college budget, like the pesto tortelini with toasted french bread. The Valley Cafe also features various wines from across the Northwest with special em­ phasis on Washington wines. The menu, according to Manager Katie McKeown, is "eclectic" with many seafoods and vegetarian selections (the Valley Cafe also includes de­ licious Italian and Mexican cuisines). "It's not just your every day dishes," McKeown said. Chanon, a waitress at the Cafe, suggests for dessert ei­ ther the Chocolate Cheese­ cake, Poppy Seed Cake or Chocolate Decaadence (with rasberry topping). If a sit down lunch or dinner isn't in your schedule, the Val­ ley Cafe also has a take out section. The take-out section (located next door to the restaurant) is open in the mornings at 7:30 to make your lunch to-go or to serve you fresh cinammon rolls and espresso. The Cafe is also open for breakfast on Friday and Sat­ urday. When asked about what makes the Valley Cafe so unique, Gary Sukovaty, a Central student and new­ comer to the Valley Cafe tea, says, "It's a combination of the food, the people, the decor and the clientle... it has a unique aura." Winter quarter is a little slow at the Cafe but is usually packed around spring and summer. Reservations aren't necessary but they are a good idea. If you want to out the Cafe its located at 105 W 3rd St. in downtown Ellen sburg or for reservations call 925-3050. Tell them the Observer sent • you. talk to, evei§|ii!

A certain 21s birthday bash (D.G.) comes t mind as an example, but that a story in itself. Anyway, The Tav reall doesn't look much differer than any other bar in thi town. But I think what sets it apart from the rest is the at­ mosphere it provides. It's mostly a college crowd and is busiest on Thursd^ Friday and Saturday nights. The Tav provides darts, pool, pinball, video games, the best burger in town (the SuperMother), and plenty of your favorite beer. You can even carve your name in4R brick! Pretty cool, huh? I think what I like best about The Tav, though, is that it doesn't try to be anythingmore than a good place to go out and have a pitcher or five. There's no espresso, no cowboy theme, no dance contests and no snotty bouncers. Just good food, good friends and most i\Jportantly,good, cheap beer. That's about all I have right now folks. A simple man with a simple message. I was not able to speak with any of the owners or bartenders on this so I can't let you know about a^ specials or deals or any­ thing. But I can tell you what many of you probably already know. And that is that The Tav is a must if you're headin' out in E- burg. by Mark Eaton Editor Nothing about Ellensburg can beat eating breakfast at a local restaurant Saturday morning. And there is no better hole in the wall for chugging grease and cutting it with coffee than Ray's Cafe. Ray's is small town. No espresso machine (perhaps the only place in Ellensburg that doesn't have one) just a few weather faced, overall clad locals keeping conver­ sation over good stale American coffee. There is an actual Ray who owns the place and cooks the food, one waitress and heaping portions of good basic breakfast foods. And breakfast food means one thing: leave your cholesterol counter at home. Ray's spares not that fatty indulgence. Everything is fried. The pancakes are large. The omelets could choke a steer and the hashbrowns— just have them covered in gravy and call it an adven­ ture in starch. The menu has all the basics in breakfast foods. Plus a few bonus items. How does authentic Cherizo and eggs sound? And Ray's may have the best Pan-san (pancakes, eggs and bacon or links in sandwich form) on the planet. They open at 6 a.m. Saturday and Sunday and serve it up till 2 p.m. The best Pan-san in the galaxy. Mark Eaton/The Observer Garrett Bagley pulls a pie out of the oven B.

"The atmosphere is very in­ viting. It's homey and com­ fortable," freshman Danielle Ricks, 19, said. Contributing to the comfy aura of Frazzini's are the friendly employees who con­ stantly have smiles on their faces. These people make Frazzini's a friendly place. In addition to the inviting atmosphere, Frazzini's pizza is excellent. Served piping hot, the pizza is enough to tantalize the spiciest of taste buds. "It [the pizza] is great, super, fabulous, beyond compar," junior Jason Krilich, 21, said. "Not too much sauce. I like that," senior Tomo Miyashita, 23, said. Only fresh ingredients are used, and the customer gets what he/she pays for. All the toppings extend to the outermost edge of the pizza. "You get a bite of eveiything you order everytime you take a bite," owner and manager, John Frazzini said. Other menu items include nachos and cheesetoast, a crunchy, crispy , tasty bread with cheese baked inside. Although many Central stu­ dents frequent Frazzini's, so do other people. "We have a whole clientile of people. [Wehave a] cross-sec­ tion of adults and grade-school students. The only age group we don't get much of is the over 50 bracket," Frazzini said. Known in many circles as the best pizza in the state, Frazzini's has been written- up in such publications as Northwest's Best Places. Frazzini bought Frazzini's Pizza Place in 1975.

"We're seeingmore and more college kids getting into country music," bartender Sarah Chapman said. "That's probably why we're gaining popularity with students. Although the Buckboard is considered by most to be a country- bar, Ch apman noted they also cater to more mainstream interests. "We have bands that come in on Wednesday nights and weekends they play all kinds of music," she said. While the weekends are consistantly packed with students, the most crowded night, according to Chapman, is Wednesday. She noted this is probably due to the $3 pitchers and the live music. The common crowd at the Buckboard consists of people, students and locals ranging in age from 21 to 50. The people, according to Chapman, get along surpris­ ingly well. "TTie locals leave the stu­ dents alone for the most part, and vica-versa," she said. "That's why it works so well. We have the best crowds in town." "I don't think there's any other bar in town where you can enjoy live music and be waited on as well." by Andrew Martin Staff reporter When mom and dad come to Central for a visit and you're in search of food, the Copper Kettle offers a wide selection for your dinning pleasure. "We aim for a family atmo­ sphere but we also have many senior citizens and college students," Carol Cummings, Cooper Kettle's dining room manager, said. "We try to promote fast, friendly service more than the family atmosphere," she said The menu covers every­ thing from omelettes, sand­ wiches, hamburgers, steak# and seafoods to pies sundaes and other desserts. There are also daily spe­ cials and on Thursday, the lunch special is chimichangas. On Saturday night, steak# take center place. Each Sat­ urday a different steak is featured such as sirloin and 8 oz. In addition, breakfast is served all day. The restaurant's wintefs, hours are 6 a.m. to 9 p.m., Sunday through Thursday and 6 a.m. to 10 p.m., Friday and Saturday. The food prices range from $3.00 to 10.00. bordered a Turkey Melt Su­ preme ($4.25) that come with a tossed green salad and a choice ofbacon or ham, on the sandwich. The salad was very good and had a generous helping ofbleu 4fcese dressing on it. The sandwich arrived piping hot, with the cheese dripping over the ham and turkey. The cheese was not too sticky and it had been thoroughly melted. The meat was hot and f#ded to the taste of the toasted white bread. For des­ sert, I ordered a chocolate sundae that arrived with a heaping spoonful of whipped cream on top. There was also chocolate syrup streaming down the ice cream and covering it all the way to the bottom. Overall, I enjoyed the Cop­ per Kettle. I was seated promptly, and my order was taken and delivered before I had finished my salad. The staff was friendly and was ready to meet all of my needs whether I needed a water refill or listing what desserts were available. I recommend the Copper Kettle to anyone who would like a place to take family and friends, that has a re­ laxing atmosphere, when they are visiting Ellensburg. /////•'// Kristen Kail/The Observer While not many students seem to patronize the kettlle, the food is a nice surprise *
Page 10 Thursday, February 6,1992 The Observer ^ McCaslin has been getting 'jeep' thrills since 6 by Chandra Burdette Staff reporter When most young girls are playing with dolls or out with friends hanging out at the mall, Angela McCaslin was spending time with her family racing jeeps. "I was seven years old when I won my first third place tro­ phy. It was the best feeling. All of my family and friends were there, and everyone was screaming," said McCaslin, a 22 year old Central student. McCaslin has been racing jeeps since she was three years old, and loves it more now than she did then. "I started racing Slow Drags when I was three years old. At that age you sit on your mom or dad's lap, and just steer. The object of the race is to see who can go the slowest. When I look back at it, it's pretty funny. I mean how much steering is there to do on a straight stretch," said McCaslin. T . ij T Me! I wanted to race.

McCaslin is close with every member of her family, but shares a special bond with her dad. "My dad and I share the same jeep. It's a Fiberglass Willie, it didn't matter if I'd win or lose."

I had beat the top racers from Washington, Oregon, Idaho, California, and Canada and took h ome a huge trophy. It felt great." For McCaslin, the saddest thing about winning that tro­ phy was losing it the next year. "My dad always told me if I ever broke the jeep, I'd have to fix it. Well, I broke my jeep, and conned my little brother into helping me fix it. We were hur­ rying so I wouldn't miss my next run, but we weren't fast enough. I missed my turn to run and defend my title. I was pissed. But I'll never forget winning that title, or losing it either." As a college student, and manager of Al-Monty Hall, Angela still finds time to race. She will begin racing in April and finish up in September. Angela says that jeep racing is pretty popular, but people aren't staying involved as long as they used to. "Probably because of money.

The Observer Thursday, February 6,1992 Page 11 Jungle Fever: Small movie with big mouth There was a time when one might consider me a pessimist about the world in general. I tended to dwell on some of the things going on around me like racism, communism, pol­ lution, drug abuse, starvation and disease and I realized that I had become an old fart long before my time. But in the last year or so, I've been greatly encouragedby the changes going on in the world. Events like the death of com­ munism, the recent Martin Luther King Jr. holiday, and the optimistic message offered by our president last week have all contributed to help restore my faith in humanity. It might be simply the fact that I am graduating this quarter, but I'm really feeling good about things lately. God's in his Heaven, the planets are all in alignment, the brother­ hood of man is upon us and the Video Review f Tom Linthicum Staff reporter world is a beautiful place to live in. But then I rented Spike Lee's "Jungle Fever" last week and I'm right back in the sewer. I should have known better than to expect to be entertained by a Spike Lee movie. When will I ever learn that if I want entertainment, to stick to John Hughes or Richard Donner and if I want a sermon, to get a Spike Lee movie. "Jungle Fever" is basically about a black architect, Flip­ per Purify (Wesley Snipes), who cheats on his wife (played by Lonette McKee) and begins a relationship with his Italian secretary, Angie (Annabella Sciorra). If the problem here isn't self- evident, the big fuss begins when the respective families learn of the taboo, interacial relationship. The controversy has reper­ cussions far beyond that of the families, though. It affects the entire community from Purify's wife to the local police. And that is what constitutes the bulk of this story: the trials and tribulations of an interra­ cial couple living in a racist society. But what this movie really is, is a weak storyline acting as a pulpit from which Reverend Lee can preach. Lee takes advantage of every opportunity in this movie to jam his political views down the audience's throat. He man­ ages to hit just about every current issue you can think of including job-discrimination, drug abuse, voting and adul­ tery. And what Spike Lee movie would be complete without a deep, brimmin' bowl o' racism? Jungle Fever provides several little wars like whites vs. blacks, men vs. women, black women vs. white women, whites vs. whites and so on. Ironically, the only place where racial harmony exists is in an old, abandoned building where the town's drug addicts convene to indulge themselves. I guess the old saying is true, "addiction knows no color." Now, don't get me wrong, everyone. I'm not against movies with messages. But if you're trying to send a mes­ sage through the social megaphone, that is the mo­ tion picture industry, you must have a decent storyline to back it up. And "Jungle Fever" simply doesn't provide the basic entertainment value to support the volcano of so­ cial comentary it spews out to the audience. And, believe it or not, I might even agree with much of what Lee has to say. But my job is to let the reader know if the movie itself is any good or not. So, with that in mind, "Jungle Fever" is one big, whiney, cry-baby of a movie. Avoid it. -Rentals courtesy of New World Video- 415 N. Main, 962-6447 Video Genre: Central's version of MTV by Greg L. Miller Contributing writer The "cutting edge of radio" in Ellensburg is back, and it's going VHF. Central's on-campus, campus radio station, in conjunction with Ellensburg Community Television, is producinga mu­ sic video television show, "Video Genre." ^ "The production aspect will be new to all those involved," deejay Rick Lange said. The non-commerical, one hour show, will run tonight at 9 p.m. on channel 2. KCAT has been eagerly awaitiner to start the "Video Genre" show, but had to wait until the station compiled enough music videos. "We wanted to make sure we got enough videos to get some variety in the show," Music Director, Bryan Allen said. "Video Genre" already has nearly 50 different videos to choose from, rangingfrom such artists as Soundgarden and Paula Abdul. Besides the music television venture, KCAT has made sev­ eral programming changes in its radio broadcasts, including: broadcasting news reports five times daily, covering topics such as local and state news and upcoming community events.

Save 20 to 50%' Bill the Beer man at Central by Michael Radice Scene editor A local hero will grace Nicholson Pavilion as "Bill the Beer Man" Scott conies to Central to lead the cheers at Saturday's Central/Western basketball game. "I rarely make predictions in games," Scott said. "But if the fans will get be­ hind the team on Saturday, there will be no gym louder than Nicholson Pavilion. The affects of that will produce a win." "Bill the Beer Man," more recently known as "Blazer Bill" now works out of Portland, Or. Scott started out as a vendor in the Kingdome and gained fame while working for the Seattle Seahawks selling beer during the games. As he worked, he discovered his ability to get the fans cheering. In time, he became a cult hero in Seattle, working Mariners and Sonic games as well. He later took his talents to Portland, Ore. to work the Trailblazers* games. "People, by-in-large, want to get involved, they just can't," he said. "That's where I come • » in. "I'm a facilitator of synergy," he said. "When people can come together for a team, it really does affect the outcome of a game." "Bill the Beer Man" loves what he does. He noted he is not a cheerleader, but rather, an energy for the fans to focus on. While the players and the fans are each a separate energy, Bill considers himself a third en­ ergy which draws the other two together. Since Bill left the Seattle sports scene seven years ago to go to Portland, he has received some criticisim. "My slogan is, "Have lips will travel," he said. Bill noted he needs money to survive. Entertaining has, for the most part, been his full- time job. If people aren't will­ ing to pay for his services, he literally can't live. "Other places (cities) are will­ ing to pay for my services," he said. "The home town (Seattle) wants it for free." Bill has worked for over 25 franchises, both major and minor leagues. His resume of work includes stints with the likes of the Indiana Pacers, * the Indianapolis Colts and the Denver Broncos. Recently, he has been working Yakima Sun-kings games. Now, "Bill the Beer Man" will for a night, become a true Wildcat, and he's excited. * J "It will sort of be like a home­ coming for me," he said. "When I was in school, I'd come over here to wrestle. I think it's a great place." For the last three years, Bill has been freelancing his tal- ents to interstedfans. He likes his job because it's different every time he performs. "I cheer, but I'm not a cheer­ leader," he said. "I don't wear a skirt or anything." "I have the best job in the world," he said. From KCAT / page 11 promote the station," Station Manager Larry Bures said. Another change is in promo­ tional give-aways with items from record companies' labels. "In giving away tapes, CD's and posters we hope to entice more people to listen," Allen said. KCAT will also begin broad­ casting from around the cam­ pus and have more programs that deal with campus and lo­ cal activities. These are some of the new programs running designed to help generate more interest while getting people involved with the community, Allen said. The station's diverse format ranges from heavy metal mu­ sic to rap. A rotation list of close to 50 songs is used, with the deejays interjecting their own music and requests of their listeners in between. "We try to play music that fits everyone's tastes," Allen said. The station is on the air from noon to midnight every day but will soon be expanding its hours from 6 a.m. to 3 a.m. KCAT can be received on 91 FM radio, but listeners need a cable hook-up in order to re­ ceive its broadcast. Cable hook­ ups are free and available in the KCAT radio office located in Boullion Hall. mmm KCAT crew discuss ideas for the new show.

The game marks Central's last regular-season home con­ test of the year. If Central (5-3, 14-10) beats Puget Sound University Tues- ^ day night (Game results not available at presstime) the Wildcats could take sole pos­ session of first place, with a win over the Vikings.

"Both teams like the up-tempo game and use full-court pres­ sure," said Coleman. Central's defense held the district's top scoring offense, Simon Fraser, to just 69 points last Friday. The defense has also forced 107 turnovers in the last four games and allowed only 42 percent shootingfrom the floor. "They're a little bigger than us inside, so we need to do a good job on the boards," said Coleman. Again, not including Tuesday's results, Central is on a three-game win streak. Central has beaten Western in their last six games. How­ ever, the Vikings have won three out of the last four games in Nicholson Pavilion. Just for the record, the 'Cats own the Vikings overall, 129- 67. After Saturday, the 'Cats fin­ ish their regular season with a four-game road trip, ending in Bellingham on Feb. 29. Central wrestlers send 7 to national tourney WRESTLING by Eric Sawyer Staff writer Central fell to 7-5 in dual meets Friday night dropping a tough 22-20 decision to Pacific University. The team wrestled strong winning four of the nine matches and getting draws on three others. But, because of an illness they had to forfeit the 190 pound weight division which subse­ quently gave Pacific the win. Lee MacDiarmid out-per­ formed his opponent enroute to an impressive 26-7 victory. The win placed MacDiarmid second in the record books with five other wrestlers for 30 single season victories. Other winners included Eric Rotondo 8-5, Roger Shoup 8-2, and Paul Martinez 2-1. The 'Cats then took to the mats Saturday in the 13th Annual Washington State Col­ legiate Wrestling Champion­ ships. Picking up their seventh title in a row was the Clansmen of Simon Fraser. Also winning outstanding wrestler of the tournament was Simon Frasers' Justin Abdou at 190 pounds.

Impressive placings for the 'Cats were Martinez who fin­ ished 4th, Shoup 2nd, Adam Scanlon 4th, Jason Steven son 4th, and Curt Schroeder who also finished 4th. Eric Rotondo and Ricardo Acevedo both finished third to qualify them for the na­ tionals in March. t I stepped onto the mats for the final against my old teammate from Lower Co­ lumbia Community College I knew I had to win, said Rotondo. "I either had to win or wave goodbye to Joe and Lee when they left for the nationals. My goal for nationals is to come home an All-American." Rotondo was referring to his roommates Lee MacDiarmid who took Saturday off, and his other roommate Joe Knox. All three have qualified for nationals with Knox's coming on Saturday as well, just three matches before Rotondo's. Knox not only qualified for nationals though, he won his weight class outright. He de­ feated Darren Lenz of North Charlie FuHori Observer Idaho State in a gutsy 3-1 performance in thefinalmatch. "My first thought was that all of the hard work and training had paid off, I'd gotten the monkey off my back," said Knox. "Last year I had to sit back and watch the guy who was in front of me go off to nationals, so this feels real good. "At nationals I just want to wrestle well, hopefully come away with an All-American See SEVEN/page 14 by Joe Butler Staff writer No one can accuse the women's tennis team of not being dedicated to the sport. They have been practicing since the begin­ ning of fall quarter and their only practice facilities are a converted meat locker, miles out of town. Each night, the women, clad only in thin t-shirts, practice for hours in sub­ arctic temperatures in preparation for their new season, which kicks off this Saturday at Seattle Univer­ sity. Mark Morill, both the men and women's coach, thinks the women's team looks a little stronger this year, even though they lost their No. 1 spot due to graduation. However, five of the six varsity players from last year are returning. "I feel like the team has the potential to surprise this year," Morill says. "They have been working hard and it's a better team each year." This year both teams plan to have more matches than before, including a six- day trip to California in See RACKET / page 14

In the first game in Ellens- burg, the Lady Wildcats beat the Falcons, 101-89. The score was not a true re­ flection of the game, however, as the Falcons went down to defeat, stubbornly. Central led 45-41 athalftime and came out with guns a- blazin'. The 'Cats went on a 10-2 scor­ ing run in the first three min­ utes of the second half. The Falcons would come back after Central's Barb Shuel went out of the game in foul trouble with 13 minutes left to play. Within four minutes, Seattle Pacific cut the Central lead to two points but the 'Cats would not relinquish the lead for the rest of the game. Stacey Gordon scored 17 of her team-high 29 points in the secondhalfto fend off the fiesty Falcons. Shuel, despite being in foul trouble, poured in 13 of her 24 points in the second half also. Other 'Cats in double figures were Desiree Phelps with 12 and Diana Toole with 11, in- Men beat SFU by Kurt Hammond Staff reporter The Central men's basketball team forced 19 first half turn­ overs and were able to hold off a couple of late surges by Simon Fraser to post a 76-69 win last Friday. The win pit the Wildcats (5-3, 14-10) into sole possession of third place in the district 1 standings. The Wildcats outscored Simon Fraser 9-0 at the end of the first half for a 35-29 halftime lead. Central then went on a 7- 2 run to start the second half and build an eleven point lead. The Cats held off Simon Fraser who could get no closer than two points the rest of the game, the last coming at 66-64 with 5:34 remaining. Central was led by Larry Foster's 21 points and Jason Pepper's 20. The Wildcats committed only 17 turnovers compared to Simon Fraser's 30. The defense used their quick defense to steal the ball 16 times led by Jeff Albrecht's and Dave Rockwood's four apiece. r mm N mi «*k : KtiiSI® Barb Shuel and Desiree Phelps eye a rebound off a missed foul shot.

This is the first time the tennis team has made such a trip. According to Morill, this trip will be good. "It will toughen up the players and will be good experi­ ence for them. It will also give them good competi­ tion. " Junior Nancy Cole, team captain and currently ranked fourth, shares the same outlook as Morill. "It should go pretty good this year. This is my first year as captain and I like all the facilities-except for the wind." The team began practice in the fall, but had a break for the holidays. Morill says the team practices approximately 24 weeks of the year, one of the longest practice lengths of any team on campus. The team will continue practicing and competing until the beginning of May. Because of the weather, the team must practice at the Ellensburg Racquet Club, next door to the Ellensburg Meat Com­ pany. However, the team plans to move to the outdoor courts in the spring. Sheila Gibbons, a sopho­ more, is happy about the team. "I am really excited about this year. I hope everyone finishes in the top five of districts. Everyone is really close and I love the competition." Freshman, Kim Keller echoes Gibbons' view. "This is going to be a pretty good year.

i The Observer Thursday, February 6,1992 Page 15 Magic's missing the point by Ron Munson Sports editor On Feb. 9, the best basket- ball players this country has to offer will be choosing up sides. One East. One West. It's a show that is not only meant for entertainment, but also a personal challenge to all of those who were selected to jp play and to all of those who were disappointed they weren't. As a tribute to a man who made the NBA what it is today, the public voted Magic J ohnson to be at the all-star game. It was a noble deed for a man whom tragedy has struck. Did the voters think before casting their votes? Did they realize when Magic Johnson retired from the L. A. Lakers he, in effect, retired from professional basketball, including cameo appearances in a game of active all-stars? Did they know the commis­ sioner of basketball created a 13th spot on the West's all-star roster in order not to offend anyone who may have been left out because of the exception they're making for Magic? Magic must realize that he is not an active player and like many before him, he is a former all-star. That 13th roster spot was not meant to be used by Magic. He wasn't supposed to use it. It was meant as an honor, not a right. The attention Magic will get will take attention away from players who worked hard to Although Magic has had many all-star years and has seen many all-star games, this year is different. get it. Although Magic has had many all-star years sfrid has seen many all-star games, this year is different. Is this his way of reminding us he was an all-star in his playing days? He doesn't need to do that, we remember. We all have pictures in our minds when we think of the final stages of AIDS. This, was done on purpose. The dramatic pictures are designed to make us think about consequences if we don't take care of ourselves. Magic could actually move us in the wrong direction by ap­ pearing to be perfectly healthy, thereby removing the horrible realities of the AIDS virus. He could single-handedly remove the fear of AIDS. Magic no longer deserves the glamour of being an all-star. He abused his status, for the whole world to see. He no longer is a positive role model to our young. Our soci­ ety is getting tired of watching those who seem to have the world by the tail only to let go and watch it go down the tube. Pete Rose, Mike Tyson, Brian Bosworth, Len Bias, half the Miami Hurricane football team, Dale Ellis, Willie Shoe­ maker, Dexter Manley just to name a few. Magic can show everyone he is a class act by refusing the polite invitation. If he would do that we could continue to focus on the harsh realities of AIDS and how to prevent it from happening to ourselves. Magic should smile that magical smile and say, "thank you, no," and sit this one out. CLASSIFIEDS MARANTZ STEREO! Walnut speakers and cabnet, f ... Pe $800.

Baseball starts winter practices if* :rfsu- rt. by Kurt Hammond Staff reporter The Central baseball team has started practicing for the upcoming season under new head coach, Desi Sorey. Sorey, who was an assistant coach for the Wildcats the last five years, has been preparing his players by practicing in the fieldhouse and will continue to do so until the weather im­ proves. "We lift weights, get our hit­ ting in and our pitchers go through their motions," said Sorey. "It does limit our defen­ sive drills." The baseball team has been doing some conditioning, run­ ning 10-15 minutes a day. "When it comes to baseball, I believe it is important to build speed," said Sorey. The Wildcats have the po­ tential and experience to have a successful season according to Sorey. Central has 15 re­ turning players from last years' team. "We have an older group this year, even the new players are from junior colleges, so they are coming in with some expe­ rience," said Sorey. Sorey feels that the pitching might be a real strong point for the team this year. "We will hit the ball, but if the pitching comes around like I hope, it could be a real strength," said Sorey. "This staff is potentially one of the strongest staffs I've seen since I've been here." Sorey expects senior catcher, Chad Rala and utility player Jim Paoletti to provide some team leadership in a competi­ tive league. Lewis and Clark St^te should be tough and Whitworth usu­ ally has a good team, according to Sorey. The Wildcats' first home game is scheduled for March 20, against Warner Pacific. Then the Cats will head to San Diego on March 25, for a spring tournament. CASH FOR BOOKS Fourwinds Bookstore textbooks excluded. Call Richard 962- 2375. 200 E. 4th. STUDY ABROAD! England, Italy.
