NEWS w mmm SCENE • I WSfSSSKSSSSSB *\\W? SPORTS ^VERSi The Observer ^ Thursday May 21, 1992 Central Washington University VoLfcNo. 24 Elections violate rules by lan Hamilton Staff reporter John Drink water, Central's director of student affairs, said last week's student govern­ ment elections violated many of the election codes. Central's council of probity, which oversees the BOD, met yesterday to discuss violations of the codes that occurred dur­ ing the elections and how they will be resolved. There had been no decision when this edition of The Observer went to press. Ranking high on the list of complaints issued by presi­ dential candidate Steve Aus­ tin, 22, a political science ma­ jor, was that Tracy Veness, representative to student ac­ tivities, counted votes. Veness had earlier campaigned for presidential candidate Kristin Wetzel. "Yes, I was (counting votes), but there's nothing wrong with that," said Veness, 20, a public relations major. "I think that we are taking this kind of to the hilt because some people have hurt egos," she said. Drinkwater said he did not feel the election process had been tampered with. He said he asked Veness to count votes because he felt she was honest. Drinkwater also said that Veness counted votes with Jane Rider, assistant di­ rector of student activities. Austin disagrees. "It takes away from the va­ lidity of the election," he said. Austin also complained that the distribution of absentee ballots to branch campuses did not conform to election rules. According to an information packet given to all candidates, absentee ballots are to go to off- campus centers five days before the election. "That did not happen," Drinkwater said. "There were some mistakes." Ballots were delivered by a Living Group Advisor just two days before the election. Absentee ballots are also dis­ cussed in Article V, Section 1 of the Associated Students of Cen­ tral Washington University (ASCWU) Constitution. "The election commission shall provide for absentee voting to all members of ASCWU at exten­ sion campuses of Central Wash­ ington University," according to that document.

Central's future full of deep cuts by Kristina Hansen Editor President Ivory V. Nelson painted a grim picture for the coming academic year when he told faculty Monday Central's future will be full of deep cuts in administrative and faculty positions, and ad­ mitted some programs and classes could be eliminated. "It's time to act," Nelson said. Aggressively defending his plans to contend with the nearly $3 million in budget cute, Nelson said he is stream­ lining the university by elimi­ nating faculty and adminis­ trative positions and will not fill positions following retire­ ment or resignation. The director of summer school and the vice provost and dean of undergraduate studies will be permanently cut, effective Sept. 1. A total of six administrative positions and six and a half faculty positions have been frozen and won't be filled, Nelson said. . Nelson said he i£ also reorga­ nizing several faculty and ad­ ministrative positions to tighten the chain of command and reduce administrative costs. He also told the estimated 200 faculty members to expect even more cuts and offered no assurance that any position vacated would be filled. Several faculty asked Nelson to justify freezing and termi­ nating positions resulting in the elimination of programs and classes at the expense of student needs. "If we put student needs first with no money, it won't work," Nelson said. "We're having to make some tough choices." Responding to a question re­ garding increasing tuition as a way to offset costs, Nelson said, "We shouldn't put the cost of education on the stu­ dents' backs." "We have to reduce person­ nel cost," he said. Nelson pointed out there is pressure on the budget from other areas, such as the chimpanzee lab, the flight technology program and pur­ chasing equipment. The psychology animal re­ search facility is still without operating funds, but the presi­ dent said the Budget Advisory Committee is planning to make a request for enhancement funds. "We have a building and we have a program and we will support it," Nelson said. "They (the legislature) gave us a building, but nothing to operate with," said Gerald Stacy, dean of graduate stud­ ies. The recent ruling requiring Central to pay the city of El­ len sburg for fire protection is another strain on the budget. Nelson said it's impossible to fill positions because they are a recurring cost the university can't afford, unlike purchasing equipment like computers, which he said are a one-time expense. (of colli muni- cation) exhib- —Cathy Nisbet, gradu­ ate art student by David Zimmerman Copy editor Central art students and faculty voiced their dismay last week to President Ivory V. Nelson with his decision to freeze the department's only art historian position following the retirement of professsor Quentin Fitzgerald. "I'm appalled at the style (ofcommunication) exhibited by the president," said Cathy Nisbet, a graduate art stu­ dent. "It's not what one expects." The action is part ofNelson's plan to meet the demands of a two-year budget cut of nearly $3 million. Six and a half faculty posi­ tions and six administrative positions have already been eliminated by Nelson. Nelson said only $600,000 was taken from this year's budget, leaving a $1.6 million cut for next year. "We're faced with an issue I can't do anything about," Nelson said. "Somewhere we have to balance (the budget). I'm not enjoying this, but I have to make these tough calls." One student said cutting back Central's strengths, including the art depart­ ment, would tarnish the university's reputation. "You're attacking the lean of the school instead of the fat," the student said. "If the school loses its reputa­ tion, people will understand," Nelson said. "Anybody can un­ derstand tough times." The decision to freeze the art historian position may result in art histoiy classes being eliminated. The master of art program, for example, requires 15 cred­ its in art history to complete. Because the necessary art his­ tory classes will no longer be offered, students in the pro­ gram will be forced to restruc­ ture their curriculum. Graduate art student Kathleen Beehler, 39, is being forced to rearrange her cur­ riculum and take two more in­ dependent study courses than she would have originally needed. Beehler says this increases her workload, hassle, and tu­ ition. "Fm not blaming the depart­ ment, Beehler said. "But if they had been thinking about this, I wish they would have men­ tioned their speculation to me." Nelson said he made his deci­ sion after receiving recom­ mendations from Donald Schliesman, interim provost, and Donald Cummings, acting dean of the College of Letters, Arts and Sciences. Cummings said the freezes are part of an effort to refocus the university and phase out its weaknesses. He said the art historian position could be re­ instated if it became a high enough priority.
Page 2 Thursday May 21,1992 The Observer | Police beat by Andrew Martin Staff reporter An Al-Monty resident reported her laundry was taken from the laundry room Monday. She said she put her laundry in the dryer and when she returned it was gone. The loss was estimated at $100 and police are still investi­ gating. A woman who crashed on her bike near Lind Hall Monday injured her wrist. She flipped ever the handle­ bars after the front wheel be­ came tangled in a plastic gar­ bage bag being carried by a Central custodial worker. She refused a ride to Kittitas Val­ ley Community Hospital but asked to be driven home so a parent could take her. Police asked a 12-year- old boy to leave the SUB games room Saturday and not to return since he was not related to a student or a staff member. An officer warned, him trespassing charges could be brought against him if he returned. The boy complied and left the building. Campus police re­ sponded to an alarm that was activated in Mitchell Hall's cashier's office Saturday. El- lensburg police assisted cam­ pus police in checking the building. The area was secured and the alarm turned off. A man with an outstand­ ing warrant from King County was arrested Saturday when police stopped him for a traffic violation. The man was booked into the Kittitas County Jail. A Central student re­ ported someone has been van­ dalizing her car for the last three weeks. The car, which was parked in the N-19 lot, had its radio antenna bent and a peanut butter and jelly sand­ wich rubbed on the windshield. The damage is estimated at $70. There are no suspects, but police are investigating. Several Centred students were cited for traffic infractions last week. One was cited for failure to stop at a stop sign. Another was cited for speeding onNorth Alder. Athird student was cited because her car had defective taillights. A men's Huffy 10-speed mountain bike was impounded by police on Saturday after it was found against the north wall of Al-Monty Hall. Police responded to a call of a man having a seizure at the southwest softball field. When the officer arrived the man was alert but had some memory loss. He was trans ported to Kittitas Valley Com­ munity Hospital by medics. Police responded to a male student in Kamola Hall Tuesday after he returned to his room to find two straight­ ened paper clips in his dooT lock. The door was still locked and no entry had occurred There is no suspect, but the investigation continues. An ex-boyfriend of a Meisner Hall resident inter­ ested in resuming a relation­ ship would not let her leave the building Tuesday. When an officer arrived, the man left and she said no threats were made. Occupants were advised to call police if it happens again. Sparks goes 'dry' Peter named as WSL president New position will bring Central positive recognition by Jill Johnson Managing editor Central's student body presi­ dent, Eric Peter, was recently elected to serve as president of the Washington Student Lobby for the 1992-93 school year. WSL is an organization com­ prised of all four-year Washing­ ton state universities. It at­ tempts to present a unified stu­ dent voice in Olympia. "The Washington Student Lobby understands the legisla­ tive process and is able to make it work to the students' advan­ tage," said Rep. Ken Jacobsen, D-Seattle, chair of the House Higher Education Committee. "We [WSL] represent students on issues dealing with higher education," Peter said. Peter, 22, a public relations major, was elected by the 10 voting members of WSL. "The next few years will be crucial for higher education," Peter said. "Higher education will have to fight for its life." Peter is no newcomer to this fight and has been battling on behalf of higher education throughout his term as board of directors president. "This year I have developed a passion for representing stu­ dents," Peter said. "Next year will be a continuation and a chance to represent students all across the state." Peter is encouraged by the growing recognition WSL is re­ ceiving in Olympia and in­ creased participation among students. "The students as a whole, through the orchestration of Washington Student Lobby, bring together a unified front," Peter said. Eric Peter and other WSL members testify before the state Higher Education Committee in Olympia. "We will continue to be play­ ers as long as we [students] continue to voice our concerns and continue to speak out," Peter said. "But we have a big job ahead of us and it will only get harder from here." Both Peter and the WSL have been praised by state repre­ sentatives for their work in Olympia. In a memo from the WSL , Rep. Joseph E. King, D- Vancouver, speaker of the House, and Sen. Albert Bauer, D-Vancouver, senate deputy minority leader, both voiced their support of WSL as a tool for the students. "Eric Peter and the other members of the Washington Student Lobby did a very effec­ tive job representing students in opposing tuition increases," King said. Bauer, in noting the effec­ tiveness of WSL, said, "I wish that all students had the op- by Jason Goldner Staff reporter Sparks Hall, the only all-fe­ male residence hall at Cen­ tral, isbeingtransformed into a co-ed, alcohol and tobacco free hall beginning fall quar­ ter. At a meeting May 8, univer­ sity officials discussed having next year's residents of Sparks Hall sign an agreement not to use alcohol or tobacco while living in the hall. This plan was then passed the following Monday. Murray Larsen, assistant vice president of student af­ fairs, and Jim Hollister, di­ rector ofhousing services, told residents of Sparks Hall the upcoming changes will offer students the choice of living in an alcohol and tobacco free environment. He also feels students will be able to govern themselves and each other so the resi­ dence hall staff will not hold all of the responsibility. "Our goal is to fill Sparks next year with persons that want this option," Larsen said. Hollister believes the changes in Sparks Hall will benefit students who don't smoke or drink and they can avoid labels that are placed on them. "The stereotypes given to those who don't drink are so outdated," Hollister said. "The intent is to accommo­ date those who want this en­ vironment." An alcohol and tobacco free residence hall has been dis- # cussed for the last two years after several residence hall students and staff members approached Residence Living and Student Affairs with suggestions of creating such an environment. Twenty percent of the 120 students surveyed by Resi­ dence Living and Student Af­ fairs during winter quarter said they would be interested in an alcohol and tobacco free ^ environment. The two departments also spent time looking into col­ leges with similar programs. Michelle Sweetman, 19, an education major and an LGA at Hitchcock Hall, feels the goal for Sparks Hall can be achieved. "We're aiming for people to live here that don't want to live in environments with al- ^ cohol and tobacco," Sweetman * said. Timi Reid, 19, a freshman special education major living in Sparks Hall and a finalist for next year's hall staff selec­ tion, wants to see the LGAs & urge the residents to become involved in activities. "I hope to see programming to help people feel good about themselves," Reid said. "I think the students will have a positive effect by living in this environment." Stacey Desautel, 20, a graphic design major and an LGA at Sparks Hall also be­ lieves the hall is a good option for those students who want % to live in that atmosphere. f/ From ELECTIONS / page 1 Austin said election mishandled f portunity to see the WSL from the perspective here in Olym­ pia. "If they could, then there would be no doubts as to its signifi­ cant merits." WSL will begin to develop its agenda for next year's legisla­ tive session in August, and Pe­ ter is expecting three items to top the agenda: • placing a student on the board of trustees • increasing financial aid packages • avoiding increases in tu­ ition Peter said he is confident that with the support of students, the WSL will be a powerful force during the 1993 legisla­ tive session. "WSL is only as effective as the students who get involved," he said. Peter is the first Central stu­ dent to be selected as president of WSL. "We have interpreted that as 'upon request,'" Drinkwater said. He also stressed that in his opinion, without Steve Austin's campaign trips to the branch campuses, there would have been no need for those absentee ballots. Austin said the letter of the* law has been violated. He also said the write-in candidacy of Kip Anderson, 33, a political science major who ran for president, was in vio­ lation. Anderson's application was received May 1, one day after the primary election, and technically one day late for him to become a write-in can­ didate. ASCWU bylaws state: "Write-in candidacy shall be allowed with the following criteria: Any write-in candi­ date must register no later than 4 p.m., seven days prior to either an ASCWU regular or special election and must pay a fee of $20 in cash to the election commission." Drinkwater said, "The elec­ tion committee on good faith determined that (it was) a seven-day period." Drinkwater also said that if hours were counted, Anderson would not have turned in his application by the deadline. He said he did not look spe­ cifically at the election code before accepting Anderson's application. Much of the write-in dispute centers around the primary election. % "The purpose of the primary election shall only be to de­ crease the number of candi­ dates for each individual di­ rector position to no more than two per position," according to ASCWU bylaws. * A major point stressed by Austin is that if Anderson had applied a day earlier, he would have been put on the primary ballot and this would have ensured only two presidential candidates in the general 4 election. Drinkwater said that Ander­ son would not have been eligible for elimination in the primaries. He stressed that Anderson was not an official candidate, but merely a write- ^ in. A rule harming campaigning within 100 feet of the polling place is addressed in the in­ formation .packet given to all candidates. "No candidate who is desig- t nated shall be within 100 feet of any polling place in the process of supporting or op­ posing candidate(s)," the document states.
The Observer Thursday May 21,1992 Page 3 Professor is award winning author by KyLynn K. Kosoff Staff reporter Central art professor Wil­ liam V. Dunning can now add award-winning author to his resume. A book he wrote,"Changing Images of Pictorial Space," was chosen by Choice Maga­ zine as one of the best aca­ demic books of 1992. "The book is intended to move students from a sim­ plistic concept of painting to a current, post-modern con­ cept," Dunning said. "They don't have to agree about what's going on, but I want them to know what's going on and understand it." Dunning said he wrote the book because when artists talk about painting, they al­ ways talk about the pictorial space in the painting. Since pictorial space seems to Dunning the most impor­ tant aspect in today's paint­ ings, he was surprised that there has never been a study of its history. "Nobody had ever done his­ tory about it (pictorial space)," he said. "I kept looking and could never find it." R.L. McGrath, of Dartmouth College in New Hampshire, reviewed Dunning's book. "It is astounding this book had not already been writ­ ten," he said. "(It is) richly persuasive and illuminating in its extended analysis. 'This book belongs in every library concerned with the history of art," McGrath said. Dunning's book studies the history of pictorial space in a 2,000 year era, from Greco- Roman to post-modern time. The book emphasizes six ele­ ments of illusion. It then demonstrates when an artist puts a different stress or status on the six elements, it creates a different image of a specific century. "It tells why the artist would choose that image of space be­ cause ofhow the scientists and philosophers in that century thought about space," Dun­ ning said. Dunning wants the people who read his book to under­ stand today's current art, in­ cluding post-modern and post- structuralism, which deal with linguistic aspects contrary to illusions. Post-modern art is multi­ cultural, interested in signs, pluralist in ideas, and breaks down ideas of status or hierar­ chy. The book is the required art text at Stanford University, Cal-State, and University of Nevada Las Vegas. Dunning expects more uni­ versities will purchase the book because of the decision made by Choice Magazine.

Faelnar Staff reporter An estimated 65 faculty, graduating minority students and their friends and families attended this year's multi-cul­ tural graduation banquet Saturday in the Sue Lombard dining hall. The evening festivities began with a social hour at 5 p.m. followed by a buffet dinner at 6 p.m., musical entertainment, and keynote speeches from two Central minority alumni. Wayne Barnett, director of the minority retention program and head of the banquet's or­ ganizing committee, said 74 minorities will graduate from Central this year. However, he urged students to recruit minority family members and friends to come to Central. "(We need) to have them thinking about education so that we won't have...a minor­ ity dinner just for afew seventy graduates...(but)hundreds and hundreds," he said. Victoria Alvarado,vocals, and Ivy Yap,piano, entertained the group with classical opera per­ formances, after which Barnett introduced the two guest speakers. Former Minority Student academic adviser Earl Martin, 28, a Central graduate with a masters degree in psychology, addressed the graduating stu­ dents about the challenges they face in the future. "Often you will find that there are two paths that you can Rose Lasater and Robert Kyler were among many who attended the minority banquet Saturday. take. Sometimes there's an easy path and sometimes there's a hard path, and a lot of times you will take the easy path because you're scared. But the hard path is where the rewards are at, so take those risks." "You've got to expect struggles," Martin added. "There's a lot of personal power that comes from being a survi­ vor. A lot of you (students) are survivors—you've survived the system of education." Teresa King, 24, a Central graduate with a bachelors de­ gree in mechanical engineer­ ing technology, discussed her experiences with "injustice" at Central and her activism on minority issues. "You're either going to have to deal with it, or simply ignore it, and I chose to deal with it," she said. "I was tired of fighting for things all the time." "We (minorities) came here (Central) to get an education, and now that we're here, I think that it would be nice that we get recognized for the effort that we went through to get here," she said. "We wanted it (Central) to be a little more friendly and a little less hos­ tile." King also expressed her dis­ appointment at not seeing Central President Ivory V. Nelson present at the banquet. "It's nice to be here at Cen­ tral right now with some very positive changes going on," said Murray Larsen, interim assisant vice president for student affairs. "I feel a lot better about working here right now. I feel good about Ivory Nelson, and I feel good about a lot of the people I work with on the faculty." "I really hope that a lot more white faces will come forward at Central and work harder for issues of minority students and all students in general," he said.

Page 4 Thursday May 21,1992 The Observer OPINION m OB Take the heat Nelson In the last few weeks, President Ivory V. Nelson has made plans to accommodate and meet the wicked demands of the massive budget, cuts for the 1993-95 academic year known. One by one, each department has been scrutinized to see what can be cut, permanently eliminated or frozen, and one by one everyone has lobbied the prez to keep their depart­ ment or job from being a casuality of scissorhands. Unfortunately, the most vulnerable departments and jobs will catch the cuts first. For the first time people may actually consider putting off retiring —maybe not. The constant lobbying Nelson has been subjected to has obviously had a huge effect on his attitude. At the start of the faculty meeting Monday, Nelson made his crappy attitude known. His audience sat patiently as Nelson outlined his plans forthe budget. Thatis, what he knew about it. Several times Nelson had to refer the technical questions to Courtney Jones, vice president of business and financial affairs. Maybe this should have indicated that he needed more time to make his determination —slow and easy is always a good approach. The whole faculty meeting took less than an hour. One hour to put the cleaver to acedemia. Did student needs have a place in the consideration process? I wonder. Everyone: students, faculty, administration, staff and the community will be affected by the hard cuts. As Nelson called for questions from the faculty audi­ ence, he unprofessionally let the strain of his short and intense presidency show. Obviously the decisions were hard to make, but it's his job to understand everyone is upset and concerned and he needs to drive with care. Several times he attacked a person's question with snide and belligerent remarks —this display was unnecessaiy and completely unprofessional. What's that saying, you get more with honey than vinegar. One month into the job and Nelson seems to be melting under the heat and pressure. This may be standard operating procedure for him, but he needs to understand the sensitive nature of his decisions. If he can't keep it together and take the heat, well, you know the saying, something about a getting out of the kitchen. C'mon Nelson —keep it together. We need you to last and not burn out because this university deserves to return to its high standards and strong reputation.

Obgiwi PMDZlHWtHfiJ LETTERS A call 'to clear the air' I am writing this letter as a plea to the "powers that be" regarding "Corruption in the elections," by Kip Anderson. I am making an honest and sincere request that the alle­ gations of impropriety in the election process be properly investigated. I am not suggesting that the outcome be altered. But I do feel the students have a right to know if things were handled inappropriately so that steps may be taken to prevent similar problems in the fu­ ture. Besides, I'm sure all parties involved would like to address these accusations and clear the air. Sincerely, Tracy L. Relic LETTER WRITERS: All fetters must be Central should learn to run fair elections My concern is about the recent ASCWU elections. I do not consider myself an expert on politics, but am I naive to think that elections should be run democratically and fairly? I have heard many conversations, on and off campus, and I have read Kip's letter to the editor in the last Observer concern­ ing the election violations. I will be graduating in June of this year, so I have no real gripes about who will be on the board of directors, but I am concerned about Central's lack of ability to run a "straight'' election. I congratulate Ms. Wetzel for becoming the first woman president of the BODin the past 47 years butl dohope thatnext year s election process will hold less corruption than this year's. I am glad I am leaving an institution that is unable to run its student body elections fairly, and I feel sorry for the continuing and incoming students that will have to put up with the crap this school is handing out in the form of democracy. Sincerely, Janel Adderley Parents, not videos cause problems In the May 7 issue of The Observer, both Ms. West's and the STEPS letter seem to ex­ press the underlying assump­ tion that intellectual cogni­ zance (education) is automati­ cally internalized to become a part of an individual's psy­ chology. This is an invalid assump­ tion, as all people have widely varying capacities to do this. Therefore, awareness and education is only a minor part of sexual assault prophylaxis. While music videos (not just rock) probably do exacerbate the problem, the root cause is predominantly the emotional and psychological sabotage of all of our lives by our parents. Stop this, and you stop the problem. Finally, I assert the solution to this problem will definitely not be found in ourselves! There are too many factors that subtly govern our lives to trust that our knowledge and willpower will suffice. John H. Gaines
The Observer Thursday May 21,1992 Page 5 Grad students deserve recognition Zimmerman O hno I%AOH i-M I can understand why graduates, including the post- baccalaureate students, can­ not be included in the honor roll list of undergraduate students, but I cannot under­ stand why graduates cannot have some sort of recognition at all for their hard work. I am speaking especially for the non-advanced graduates who are working on their sec­ ond degree. Graduates or undergradu­ ates all spend time for study­ ing, doing their homework, trying to keep up with the demands of professors, and probably the most important of all, trying to get the highest grade possible. The only differences are their goals and status in school. I am a graduate non-advanced student (post-baccalaureate) and working part-time, but I study darn hard so I can achieve my goals and hope­ fully not just with passing grades but with good ones. Recognition does not only make us feel good but it also helps in motivating us to achieve. It also helps us evalu­ ate and improve our perfor­ mance. I think the school should es­ tablish a list per quarter of advanced and non-advanced graduates who also work hard academically. By doing that, it will create more equality among all levels of students. Hopefully President Ivory Nelson will look into this as one of the improvements we need at this university. Sincerely, Jessica S. Whitmer Chem Club pleas for more science interest Due to the dedication of some Central students, the Chem­ istry Club has had a very re­ warding year. We have learned many lessons, some very positive, and some very disturbing. We would like to share these lessons with the people of this campus. Our largest project this year was traveling to local el­ ementary schools as guest speakers. We performed simple science demonstrations and talked about careers in science. This was done as an effort to excite young people about science. We found however, that most young people have to be coaxed into enjoying science. The younger students were more than willing to get their hands dirty, and explore our world. This experience brings up the question,"Whathappens to us from 10 to age 20 that makes most people cringe at the thought of taking a science class?'' Chem Club members are concerned that some students will graduate from Central without an adequate back­ ground in science. When you are out in the "real world," will you be able to vote as an informed citizen on environ­ mental issues? It is especially important that our govern­ ment leaders and media per­ sonnel be able to make edu­ cated decisions, as these people influence our lives more than we realize. The apathy that we are speaking of directly affected our club's activities this year. Even though we received na­ tional recognition by the American Chemical Society, very few people in this area knew of our work in the el­ ementary schools. This made it extremely diffi­ cult to raise money to attend the ACS conference in San Francisco. Only three of the original six students were able to attend. Those three went only be­ cause of a donation by the Central Foundation, for which we are very thankful. Other avenues that we pursued for support, including media support, were met with resis­ tance. It is a lack of emphasis on vcA V"*** The CWU Centennial Banquet and Concert The Grand Finale to Central's Centennial Year! •5:15 pm - Social Hour - Lombard Room «6:0Q pm - Banquet - Sue Lombard Dining Room All tickets are $12.50 •8:15 pm - Concert - McConnell Auditorium General Admission: $5.00 Students: $4.00 Featuring the world premiere of a major new work honoring Central's Centennial, composed by Robert M.

Sincerely, The Chem Club has head in an armpit Well, it looks again as if Zimmerman has got his head stuck up someone's armpit be­ cause the stink sure showed in his latest cartoon. I wonder if Zimmerman has ever bothered to talk to stu­ dents who have been in these departments, been a student of some of the faculty or been involved with some of the pro­ grams being cut. His latest cartoon does not give the impression of one who has delved into matters. However, the up side of his cartoon is that in the movie Edward does create a garden of beauty which others find hard to accept. I believe the direction this university is taking is one of improvement despite Zimmerman's bawlbaby com­ plaints to the contrary. M. Paula Johnson We Have 102 Faces...

"I would assume that the sasquatch is a myth and a legend to most of you here to­ night," said Lindley. "But, if there isn't a sasquatch, then everything I set before you tonight is a joke." -U People see them all the time, but are afraid to talk about the experiences they've had. -Kevin Lindley Debbie Reynolds/The Observer Former Central student presents a drawing of a female Bigfoot during a lecture he gave in Sue Lombard last Tuesday. by Amy Gillespie Staff reporter Sue Lombard Hall overflowed with Central students and El- lensburg community members last Tuesday evening when a Pacific Northwest sasquatch investigator told of the myths and realities behind the crea­ ture called "Bigfoot." Guest speaker Kevin Lindley, a 1988 Central graduate, is currently employed in the fi­ nancial service business, but spends his free time investi­ gating the Bigfoot legend. "Sasquatch tracking is not my life or job —it's my hobby," said Lindley. Lindley presented nine large plaster of Paris foot casts from the sasquatch, some sasquatch hair samples, video footage, and a map pinpointing sasquatch findings in the Pa- According to Lindley and other sasquatch specialists, Bellevue, Kirkland, Eastgate and Issaquah are hotbeds for sasquatch sightings. "People see them all the time, but are afraid to talk about the experiences they've had," said Lindley. Lindley attested to being aware of over 30 individual reports in the Eastgate and Bellevue areas alone. He said that a greater amount of sightings occur during the summertime because more in­ dividuals are out in the woods. According to Lindley the av­ erage "sasquatch" stands ap­ proximately eight to 10 feet tall, walks like a cross-country skier and has a normal walk­ ing stride of 50 inches or more in length. "It's an amazing critter, im­ mense in size and extremely powerful," said Lindley. "If you ever run into any of these animals, don't think that this is 'Harry and the Hendersons,"' he warned the audience. When the lecture had con­ cluded, Lindley fielded various questions from the audience of over 90 people. "How come there haven't been any remains found?" asked Tom Mettler, a Central stu­ dent. "There have been remains found, but unfortunately to prove the existence of the sasquatch, the scientific com­ munity wants a body," re­ sponded Lindley. "I'm still skeptical about sasquatches, but now I have a lot to think about," said Central graduate student Ken Bevis. Lindley urged the audience to remain skeptical, but to also look into the history of the sasquatch. "Central keeps a very good file of sasquatch information," he said.

'Lethal Weapon 3' tops the box office This action-packed movie plays in Ellensburg through the weekend by Ian Hamilton Staff reporter Mel Gibson, Danny Glover and Joe Pesci reunite in "Le­ thal Weapon 3," a surpris­ ingly exciting third chapter in the series by director Rich­ ard Donner. From the moment the ad­ vertisements hit the air­ waves, "Lethal Weapon 3" promised action, and it deliv­ ers it. A good deal of the action comes from Martin Riggs, played by Mel Gibson. In keeping with tradition, Riggs is the crazy man. Riggs drags his partner, Roger Mertow, played by Danny Glover, into all sorts of risky situations. In the beginning of the film, Riggs and Mertow are at­ tempting to diffuse a bomb. Riggs takes a guess, and cuts the wrong wire, nearly kill­ ing Mertow and himself. Riggs also initiates several potentially life-threatening gunfights through his brand of lone-wolf law enforcement. As the partner, Mertow is forced to throw himself into the action. As in the first two "Lethal Weapon" movies, there are a number of chase scenes in "Lethal Weapon 3." Chases and gunfights are, however, not what make "Le­ thal Weapon 3" a great movie. What makes the movie so en­ tertaining is the relationship between Riggs and Mertow. I thought this was the best one. It was hilarious. -Todd Heikes n The first film ends with Riggs beginning to become accepted in the Mertow house­ hold. The second film shows Riggs' becoming more accepted by Mertow's family. Mertow, at this point, is still not completely comfortable with Riggs being around the a/v/nA/^AAT^ ,\1^ GUIDE ri u Appllcant must have river floating knowJedge, plus experience, andavaSid Washington State driver's lieLifeguard first-aid training iire jjirefferrect Temporary positions are expected th begin J.uhe 14 and tei^taatfcAugu^^^ house. In "Lethal Weapon 3," Riggs walks in, starts doing his laundry, and plows through the refrigerator looking for orange juice. No one in the Mertow fam­ ily seems ill at ease with the idea of Riggs walking through their kitchen early in the morning. What remains is the hilari­ ous verbal sparring between Riggs and Mertow. Joe Pesci once again plays Leo, the obnoxious informant. Leo, as usual, delivers a bar­ rage of humorous one-liners. "Lethal Weapon 3" is not totally predictable, though. As a matter of fact, most moviegoers didn't think the movie was over when the credits showed on the screen. Newcomer Renee Russo ex­ plodes onto the screen as a tough internal affairs cop. Throughout the movie, she beats up bad guys with great ease. While "Lethal Weapon 3" contains some of the same old tricks, Donner manages to make them look fresh. In short, audience members agree the film is just as en­ tertaining as the first two, maybe even better. "I thought this was the best one," said Todd Heikes, a jun­ ior biology/math education major from Cashmere. "It was hilarious!" "Lethal Weapon 3" plays through the weekend at the Liberty Theater.

Page 8 Thursday May 21,1991 The Observer * Students take advantage of summer break by Michelle McBride Staff reporter Central students use sum­ mer break to their advantage, whether it's to continue with their education, kick back, re­ lax and recuperate, work, or enjoy the adventure and ex­ citement of that good old sum­ mer bash. Spring enrollment for 1991 totaled 6,780 students and of those enrolled, 2,287 contin­ ued on to summer school. New summer enrollees added an additional 568 students for a total of2,855 summer students in 1991, according to Mary Phare, Central's Research Analyst. Many students must find employment for the summer and the Central student em­ ployment office does what it can to help. The office will put about500 students to work this summer. The students can work for the dininghalls, auxiliary services, the conference center, and P.E department. The amount of jobs has declined because of the hiring freeze caused by budget cuts, according to the student employment office. Many students are still look­ ing for summer jobs, and some students are already set. Gretchyn Ehrlich, 21, a junior, is the building manager for the SUB this summer. Brenda Conrad, 23, a senior, will work at the Campus U- Totem while going to school. While many students con­ tinue with their education through summer months or are gainfully employed, others take time off and enjoy the many activities summer offers. Students pursue interests such as white water rafting and glacier skiing at resorts like Sun River in Oregon. They .flock to beaches like Ocean Shores, Washington, where they try to achieve that ulti­ mate tan while scoping out the tans of fellow beachers merely as a basis for com­ parison. Students also participate in numerous other activities such as playing music in a band or just hanging out. Students also return home to family type situations which reinstate bonding. While it is obvious that most students have busy summers to look forward to, some stu­ dents prefer to find a nice shady tree, a good book, an ice cold Pepsi and maybe a blan­ ket in case a good, long nap is necessary.

Thursday May 21,1992 Page 9 SPORTS Athletics not immune to budget cuts by Heidi Trepanier Staff reporter In a department boasting a place in history, the athletic • curriculum finds itself victim­ ized by state-imposed budget cuts, forcing itself to adhere to these regulations, but wanting to preserve Wildcat athletic history. In a golden era of athletics 0 Central has competed at dis­ tricts and nationals in football, volleyball, men's and women's basketball, wrestling, swim­ ming, baseball, tennis, and track and field. In an illustrious age of domi- 1 nance the athletic department has conquered obstacles such as no scholarship funding, al­ leged NAIA violations and cuts in full-time coaches, yet still remains competitive. In a magical epoch Central & has solidified recognition in athletic history. But, when does the magic end? When does history cease? That depends on how the 2.5 percent state-forced cut affects athletics. ^ The biggest threat to Central's 17-sport, soon-to-be-18 sport, program is lack of money. Since 1988, the athletic budget has remained consistent at about $176,000. Taking out approximately ^ $56,771for administration and $46,000for football, this leaves $73,229 to be split between 16 sports. Since most of Central's fund­ ing comes from service and activities fees, this amount will ^ not increase as long as the en­ rollment is capped under the 6,000 student under state limit. "As long as an enrollment cap is on, there is only so much the services and activities fees can accumulate," Gary Frederick, athletic director said. "What we need to recognize is everyone in the university is forced to tighten their belt, we're no different," he said. "What we need to recognize is the need to make more money and accept the cuts." Also a budget cut in its own right is the slashing of full- time coaches. In the last 10 years, Central's athletic department has gone from 15 full-time coaches to eight, Frederick said. 'This has forced us to hire part-time help," he said. "The budget makes us rely more on part-time help, and this in itself is a budget cut." Last year, five part-time coaches accounted for five sports: men's and women's soc­ cer, baseball, tennis and golf. The rise in part-timers also stems from Central's decision in the early 1980's to abandon its tenure system for full-time coaches. According to Frederick, that decision was made because many people who were hired as coaches later went exclu­ sively into teaching, leaving the department unable to offer teaching positions to replace­ ment coaches. According to Frederick, the only drawback of part-time coaches is they are not always available to students. "When an emergency occurs, it is not always when a part- time coach is on campus," he said. With a lack of funds in the athletic curriculum how can more money be generated? According to Frederick, the budget cuts have forced the athletic program to increase its fundraising efforts. How­ ever, this is not done as a whole, but from the individual pro­ grams. A couple of programs have already participated in money- making projects. For the past two years, the men's and women's basketball programs, wrestling program and the athletic trainers have worked on carnival rides at the Cen­ tral Washington State Fair. The revenue from this event went into the individual program's account and used for the purchase of uniforms, travel expenses and other team- related necessities. Other alternative funding besides fundraising is involv­ ing the alumni, Frederick said. Also, there is always the op­ tion that money generation could come from businesses in the community. However, Frederick is not convinced this would solve the budget prob­ lem. "The problem is our location," he said. "If we were better populated, we could get more money." "The thing about a small area is all the businesses get re­ quests for money the commu­ nity is saturated." Another possible solution to the budget cuts and saving money is decreasing the ath­ letic schedule, Frederick said. "This not only helps the bud­ get cuts, but it also helps the athletes," he said. What needs to be remem­ bered is it doesn't decrease the schedule to a point where we can't be competitive, Frederick said. "If you cut the schedule to a certain point where you can't be competitive, you might as See BUDGET / page 10 Zenisek has high hopes for recruits by Ron Munson Sports editor It's been a busy off-season for first-year head football coach Jeff Zenisek and the Central football program. A total of 31 high school se­ niors, including three from Vancouver's Columbia River High School and two each from White Swan, White River, Foss and Curtis high schools, have signed letters-of-intent to play football at Central this fall and Zenisek couldn't be happier. "Its probably our best re­ cruiting class since 1988," said Zenisek. The 1988 class, which in­ cluded first team Ail-American Tracy McKenzie, never lost a regular-season game in 35 tries. Central takes a 39-game regular-season unbeaten streak into the 1992 season. Zenisek expects this recruit­ ing class to contribute to Central's winning ways. "There was a large group of NAIA-caliber players in this year's (Washington state) graduating class and several of them have a chance to play right away," said Zenisek. Among the recruits are four who will play in the East-West All-State game, including de­ fensive lineman Adam Ballard from Arlington, offensive line­ man Michael Henry from White Swan, tight end Brett Myron from Stanwood and quarter­ back Brian Jensen from Curtis. Jensen passed for more than 3,400 yards the past two sea­ sons and comes to Central from the same school that produced current 'Cat quarterback Beau Baldwin. Also among the group is South Whidbey quarterback Reed Benson, who is a Central In­ vestment Fund (CIF) scholar­ ship candidate. The CIF pro­ gram is the major academic scholarship program sponsored by the university. Among the outstanding de­ fensive recruits is linebacker Scott LeMaster from Colum­ bia River. LeMaster earned an all-state nomination his senior year and was selected all- league both his junior and se­ nior seasons. He was also a team captain and he holds the school bench press record of 345 pounds. ntt It's probably our best re­ cruiting class since 1988 -Jeff Zenisek _ _ W Among the six other line­ backers recruited by Central include, Kyle Hildenbrand from Cheney. Hildenbrand was selected all- league and was nominated for the all-state game. Hildenbrand placed third in state in wrestling his junior year and won the state AA title in the 190-pound class his se­ nior year. He won both the "most inspirational" and "team captain" awards in both sports. Other defensive recruits in­ clude five backs and three line­ men. As for offensive recruits, Cen­ tral has received letters from five linemen, five wide receiv­ ers, four running backs and two quarterbacks. Recruited as an offensive lineman, Henry was twice se­ lected all-league on offense and defense. Henry was also voted to the Associated Press all-state game. He had 110 tackles, in­ cluding 65 solos and eight sacks his senior season. Of the five wide receivers coming to Central, two are from White River. Cory Peloli was named second team all-league wide receiver and honorable mention defen­ sive back his senior season. He caught 56 passes for 1,057 yards and seven touchdowns in his junior and senior seasons. Peloli won both the "coaches" and "captain" awards. He also is considered a standout in baseball and basketball. The other half of the White River receiving corps is Rick Scott. Scott was named all-league wide receiver his senior sea­ son. He caught 40 passes for 660 yards and scored 13 touch­ downs. He won the "most im­ proved" award in basketball his senior year. Central's top recruit at run­ ning back is B.J. Wilson from White Swan. Wilson earned first team all-league honors at running back and second team honors at defensive back. He was voted "outstanding offen­ sive player" and "outstanding defensive back" for White Swan. Wilson ran for 1,095 yards and 23 touchdowns his senior season. Wilson is also ah outstanding track athlete. He holds the 110- meter high hurdles record in his district. He was also the long jump champion his junior season (22' 5").
Page 10 Thursday May 21,1992 The Observer From BUDGET / page 9 well eliminate," he said. John Pearson, head volley­ ball coach said, "We under­ stand that Gary Frederick has asked us to come up with two budgets." "One budget using last year's criteria, and another five per­ cent less," he said. "Right now, we are trying to find things to get along with­ out." Of course, these are not cure- all solutions to the budget problem. According to Frederick, pro­ grams won't reach the point where they have more money than they need, it will only be an improvement. With the budget in question, a simple solution would ap­ pear to be the elimination of athletic programs. However, this is a solution Frederick does not want to consider. "Right now we don't have any plans to cut any programs. In fact, we're adding softball," Frederick said. "However, should the service and activities fees be cut, then we might see a change in the programs offered," he said. Frederick was quick to point before any program would be cut, two main elements would be involved. First, the school's athletic committee, which isn't even comprised of coaches would review the program and any recommendation to eliminate the act. Second, the administration would unquestionably be in­ volved. "But if there is any way to avoid elimination, that's what this university will do," Frederick said. "We can run a program on the bare minimum," he said. Frederick also said women's athletics, in particular tuition waivers, would not be greatly effected. "I don't look for the budget cuts to effect women's athletics adversly," Frederick said. Last year, the total univer­ sity had approximately $1.1 million dollars in tuition waivers. Of that, $91,000 went to womens sports, he said. "There is still $91,000 worth of money allocation." "However, the thing to re­ member is as tuition goes up, waivers get less." Looking into the future, and possible elimination of pro­ grams as a result of the budget, Frederick is confident the quality of our athletes will not be affected. "The cuts would usually come from the programs where there is not high student participa­ tion," Frederick said. "This won't affect the quality of our athletes in the remain­ ing programs we have to offer." Jason Pepper, returning men's basketball player,said it depends if the quality of ath­ letes is affected by the budget. "It kind of depends on where the player wants to go and where they want to play," he said. "It depends on the program." "If a player wants to come It's warm for their forms • •• . M ,, — j HI 'iiltis Walt Atkinson/The Observer When ft comes to having fun, "Team Wacky" teammates Sheila Gibbons and Todd Caldwell seem to know how intramurals provide the means to get out and have fun. here, he will still come here." Greg Olson, assistant football coach said, "As long as we continue to win and continue to get good athletes, I think tradition will keep us on top for awhile." According to Frederick it is going to be awhile before bud­ get and athletics is straight­ ened. Any possible solution the university can implement, can't be effective until the economy of the state has im­ proved and more money is generated through the ser­ vices and activities fees, he said. "Until these changes are met, I don't see the operational budget of sports changing." Like a prized fighter who gets knocked out and has to get back up and face a new round, the Central athletic depart­ ment is beginning their new round. A new era ofWildcat athletics is transforming, and with the changes which it derives, a new history can begin. "Changes take time," Frederick said "Changes take time." Need a mate for life?

Club La Vie Knob, whose name comes from an old road- racing team in France, is an established club more than 10 years old. The Central biking club (a.k.a.-Cyco Paths) was established on the first day of winter quarter. Both clubs offer much of the same things, one commonality being the importance of fun and good times.

"We offer lots of instruction for beginners on maintenance, as well as good places to ride," said Jason Cotter,head ofClub La Vie Knob. Club La Vie Knob is spon­ sored by the Recycle Bicycle Shop and boasts around 20 racers and between 20 and 30 recreational riders. This Memorial Day weekend there will be an off-road race sponsored by the Tav, G.T. bi­ cycles and the Recycle Bicycle Shop. Observer classifieds: The best way to sell your stuff.

"We went up and down a hik­ ing path and picked up rocks and other debris that cluttered the path. We added some rain gutters along the path to help avoid erosion and we planted some grass seeds," said Cotter.
