Smith's decision. I have other options I am "People who are participate Eleanor J. Smith re­ quested that her application be pulled from Central's list of candidates for the posi­ tion of provost and vice president for academic af­ fairs. Smith was the only female candidate for the position which oversees faculty and academic issues. Although Smith recalled her name from the pool of candidates, she spoke favor­ ably about Central. "My experience at CWU was very positive," she said. "The search committee was gracious and the committee chair (sociology professor Charles McGehee) was very attentive while I was at Cen­ tral. I could not have asked for more consideration and kindness from the search committee and the various constituents." Despite her experience Smith said other opportuni­ ties arose which requiredher looking at and I felt those op- t i o n s were more in line with my own goals,* Smith said. Smith said she felt al­ lowing her name to remain on the candi­ date list was un­ fair to the institu­ tion. She said the elimination of her name would allow the selection committee to look more closely at the other can­ didates since she had already made a determination about the position. Central President Ivory Nelson was not surprised at Eleanor J. Smith mg in these searches know it's a two-way street, and they . look for their best fit," Nelson said. Nelson also said most can-. didates partici­ pate in more than o n e search at a time and w i t h • drawals are not uncommon. "•"'"We'Kave four candidates, and all four of those folks are qualified to be provost," he said. Smith is currently vice presi­ dent of academic affairs and provost at William Paterson College in Wayne, N. J. Enrollment lids lifted under act by Jill Johnson Managing editor In anticipation of further cuts to the higher education bud­ get, House Budget Chief Gary Locke, D-Seattle, proposed a bill which would loosen regu­ lations on universities and award greater control over the cost of tuition and its alloca­ tion. House Bill 1509, the Higher Education Efficiency Act, is designed to release universi­ ties from restrictions in the areas of personnel, purchas­ ing, enrollment lids, control of tuition, and some construc­ tion projects. Donald Schliesman, Central's interim-provost and vice president for academic affairs, views the proposal favorably. "It seems to (the administra­ tion) that by making the type of changes thai are proposed here, we are allowed more control over decisions regard­ ing the spending of money," he said. One area where Schliesman is glad to seerestrictionslifted is the mandatory use of the state printer. Under the pro­ posed bill colleges would no longer be required to use the state printer which adds a 5 percent overhead charge to all printingjobs. Instead col­ leges will look for a more rea­ sonably priced printer by of­ fering bids, Schliesman said. Under the Higher Efficiency Act, colleges would also be able to control their own tu­ ition-generated revenue. This is in contrast to the current situation where the state leg­ islature controls how the money is spent, Locke said. Locke sees the increased control as an incentive for col­ leges to raise their admission lids because more students would directly impact tuition revenue for the university. See ACT/ page5 AIDS class may be part of curriculum by Staci A. West Staff reporter Every 13 minutes an Ameri­ can is infected with the Hu­ man Immunodeficiency Virus, according to the Center of Dis­ ease Control in Atlanta. Central's home economics department added a new course this quarter, HIV/AIDS & Families, to increase student knowledge of the disease. "One in 300 college students (nation-wide) is HIV-infected," said Joan Ash, who teaches HOFS398. "There was a need for students to have more knowledge" about Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome. "We really need to have more (AIDS) education here on campus," she said, adding that there is a higher rate of infec­ tion among young adults at­ tending college than others in the 18 to 24 age group. Ash said'the course deals with "psycho-social issues involved with AIDS" and how it affects a family when a member be­ comes infected. Michelle Lonergan, a junior in community health, said the class spends "more time on...how it (AIDS) affects the family, how they're feeling. That's an aspect of this dis­ ease people don't usually look at." Some students know friends or relatives who are HIV in­ fected. Ash said most people want to get all the information they can. Enrollment for the course exceeded the department's expectations. "I feel very good that I have this many students," Ash said. Thirty-six students are en­ rolled in the course, which will be offered again spring quar­ ter. "I think it's an excellent idea to offer it," Lonergan said. "It (AIDS) will touch all of our lives eventually." Ash has taught courses on AIDS for five years at Yakima Valley Community College and Heritage College. She has taught at Central for three years. "We're looking at a popula­ tion willing to take risks, maybe in a rebellious stage," Ash said. "When studies show results, there's a feeling among teens and young adults that 'it can't happen to me.' "The numbers get worse each See AIDS / Page 3 Happy Valentine's Day.. :••• v. Power outage left students in the dark by Vanessa Watson and Billy Wagner More than 1,000 students living on campus were affected by loss of power Sunday and Monday wheji water leaked onto underground electric cables, causing a short in the system. Jim Hollister, director of housing services, said Ander­ son apartments, Barto and Moore halls, Holmes dining hall and the Special Services building all lost power after 8:30 p.m. Sunday. "Power was restored to Anderson, Moore and Special Services by 6:30 a.m. Monday," he said. Barto and Holmes had power restored at 2:10 p.m. Monday.

Page 2 Thursday, February 11,1993 The Observer# Electronic catalog planned by Vanessa Watson Staff reporter The introduction of an on­ line electronic catalog will keep students informed about ongoing changes to courses at Central. Updated monthly, it will contain all approved curricu­ lum changes since the publi­ cation of the last hard copy catalog. This includes subjects that are added to or dropped from the curriculum, as well as content changes. A pilot study, finalizing the practical and technical aspects of the electronic catalog, was completed in late January,, said Cec Calhoun, assistant director of user services at Central's Information Re­ sources office. "Deans, their secretaries, faculty, students, and the cur­ riculum committee have been testing the system,'' Calhoun said. She was project leader for the study. "We have met to discuss functionality, problems and possible technical changes that need to be made before the system is released to the Central community." Calhoun said that Informa­ tion Resources is funding the catalog and anyone with ac­ cess to a VAX computer can use the system. "We have handed over our findings to the Provost's of­ fice, and after further meet­ ings with the Dean's Council, students will be told where and when they can use the system." A hard copy catalog will still be published, with the edition for the 1994-96 academic years available early next year. Illegal fireworks and not enough bike racks The possession and use of illegal fireworks led to the arrest of two males at Muzzall Hall Monday morning. Campus police report the firecrackers were discharged in the stairwell of the residence hall. According to the Revised Codes of Washington, it is ille­ gal to sell, possess or use fire­ works outside the specified periods, which for Washington state are June 28 through July The firecrackers used in the incident Monday morning are classified as special fireworks, which are illegal to have or use, without a special license. The two youths, age 18 and 19, face a misdemeanor which CAMPUS COPS by Dan White could result in a $500 fine and 90 days in jail. Police Chief Steve Rittereiser said the two young men were trying to get back at other stu­ dents in the residence hall, by scaring them. "It is just common sense," Rittereiser said, "you just don't do that kind of thing in a build- • „ n ing. Campus police are still bat­ tling an on going problem with bicycle parking. Rittereiser said students aren't using the bike racks, and continue to congest the entrance and exits to many buildings on campus. Campus police detective Kevin Higgins said that often, stu­ dents aren't even seeking out the bike racks. "Students have to make an ex­ tra effort to find the bike racks and use them," Higgins said. Rittereiser said it was a com­ munity problem, both for the physically disabled, those who are seeking access into the buildings, and students who lose bikes to theft. Police said bikes are often locked using U-bar locks mak­ ing the bike impossible to ride. Tlie problem with theft is the bikes are not locked- to any­ thing, and people can pick them up and walk off with them. Police said they cannot always identify a person who is walking with a stolen bike. "Police are ineffective with­ out some cooperation from the community," said Higgins. With spring just ahead, po­ lice fear the problem will grow worse. Rittereiser said he has received good cooperation from the campus bike club, and will continue to encourage stu­ dents to use the bike racks and keep the entrances clear. Campus police said if stu­ dents feel there aren"t enough bike racks available, to con­ tact police, who will get more. NEWS BRIEF Central's search committee for the position of vice presi­ dent for University Relations is reviewing more than 100 applications from seasoned development and public rela­ tions professionals, who work for agencies such as the American Red Cross and American Cancer Society, chair Gerald Stacy said. Applications also came from university personnel includ­ ing Maine, Maryland, Michi­ gan, Oregon State, Stanford, and Washington State. While the committee is still soliciting applications, it hopes to finish its initial re­ view and reach a list of 10 to 15 semifinalists by month's end.

The AIDS virus can only be detected through clinical blood testing. Central's health center pro­ vides confidential HIV/AIDS testing to all students for $27. "We need to empower people," Ash said.

There is speculation of an HIV/AIDS class being added to undergraduate require­ ments. "I would like to see a general HIV fundamental class avail­ able to all students," Ash said. Astronaut encourages futures by Crlstine Jung Copy editor Astronaut Ronald E. McNair, who died in the Challenger explosion in 1986, had a keen interest in helping minority students reach their goals. He wanted them to become Ph.D.'s in math and science. Today, a scholarship program named after him is tiying to do just that, and Central Wash­ ington University is the only schoolin the Pacific Northwest taking part. There are 70 McNair programs throughout the countiy. Central, which has only 11 minority students in Ph.D programs, is looking for people to help financially to obtain doctorates in math and science. The grant to Central from the U.S. Department of Education, awarded to Central, states: "The intent of this grant is to expand the available pool of students who are normally underrepresented." According to the Higher Education Act of 1965, "The Congress finds that... minority- group citizens comprise the fastest growing segment of the population and labor force, yet are underrepresented in adult education programs." In a letter from President Ivory Nelson to the U.S. De­ partment of Education he said,"Central Washington University, I believe, isanideal institution for successfully carrying out the intent of the McNair Program. The proven interest is here, the talented faculty and staff are here, the right attitudes are here, and the facilities and research op­ portunities are outstanding for such an undertaking." The National Center for Edu­ cation Statistics did a study in 1990 that shows doctorates earned by women and minori­ ties- African-American, Native American, Asian andHispanic- comprise 48 percent of all doctorates. But in the sciences and math-related fields, the number of doctorates earned is only about 25 percent. Central's figures in 1991-1992 show 344 total enrollment in the master's program. Only 11 of those enrolled are minorities, said Diane Rogers, coordinator From POWER / Page 1 of the 250 ^o ar6 normally served.

Rogers said she hopes the program will encourage more diversity in Ph.D.'s. "This program is directed to­ ward earning Ph.D.'s which hopefully would provide a more diverse pool of doctorates from which faculty could be hired. Not just here at Central, but elsewhere, too," she said. "I think it addresses two goals talked about by President Nelson, to create diversity at Central and to bring Yakima Valley Community College, students here, hopefully," she said "It is directed toward en­ couraging minority participa­ tion but also others," Rogers said. The program recruits sopho­ more and junior, low-income, first-generation, minority and disabled students for spring quarter.

Page 4 Thursday, February 11.1993 The Observer Two types of Stafford loans now available Financial aid access made easier Pl^ceme^t Ceitte by Michelle Miller Staff reporter Students who were unable to qualify for financial aid in the past have a new option begin­ ning this quarter. As part of the Reauthorization of the Fed­ eral Financial Aid Program, students ineligible for a Stafford Loan may now take out an unsubsidized Stafford Loan. The difference between these two forms of aid is the interest on the loan. Sherry Keeler from Central's financial aid office said that on a regular Stafford Loan the interest is paid by the gov­ ernment, until six months after the student graduates or leaves college. The unsubsidized form requires the student to pay the inter­ est, which starts accumulat­ ing as soon as the funds are disbursed, she said. "Every five years, the de­ partment of education goes through and makes changes in the financial aid program," Donna Croft, Central's finan­ cial aid director, said. "Even if students just want to apply for the unsubsidized loan, they still must go through the financial aid process," Croft said. Croft anticipates a growth in the number of students who apply for financial aid each year. She said this year there would be about 400 applicants more than last year, an 8 percent increase. Croft said 3,800 of last year's applicants received some form of financial assis­ tance. More and more students are qualifying for financial aid every year, Croft said, which could be traced to the recession. And with more students qualifying each year, there is "What a lot of people, par­ ents especially, don't realize is that we don't consider out­ going money in determining need," Croft said. Financial need analyses are based on parents' (or the independent student's) income during the previous year, she said. funds, the office requests a copy of the person's tax return and does a follow-up on the complaint. "We'll do an investigation of the situation, and if there's a problem we turn it over to the department of education," she said. "I assume they'd take it to court it's out of our hands at that time." Croft said all students, whether they think they're eligible or not, should apply for financial aid for at least one quarter. an increased strain on the fi­ nancial aid budget. "It's not that there's less money, there's more demand," Croft said. "Our funds have stayed constant, but more students qualify." The financial aid award is based on the consumer price index, which changes yearly with changes in inflation. While the amount awarded to each eligible student changes, the federal dollars available are not adjusted for inflation and don't increase. "Costs keep rising each year and there is an increased need per student," Croft said. "Aid that is campus-based on the federal side isn't adjusted." She said the office has had a number of requests from stu­ dents wanting to present pro­ jected year income because a parent has lost a job and can­ not contribute as much.

The Observer Thursday, February 11,1993 Page 5 m One in three students infected with an STD ^ by Brandon Beams Staff reporter One out of every three people at Central is a carrier of Human Papilloma Virus, the cause of venereal warts, said W. Michael Swesey, director of Central's health center. Most people carrying the vi­ rus don't develop symptoms. But for those who are suscep­ tible, the warts can become a threat to a patient's health. This applies particularly to women, he said. "The reason we are concerned about this is that once youhave (certain strains of) these warts, it increases the chance of a woman developing cervical cancers," Swesey said. A significant number of stu­ dents were treated for sexu­ ally transmitted diseases at Central's Health Center dur­ ing the 1991-1992 year. Swesey said according to the center's files, the center had mm*- j* 569 visits for the detection and treatment of venereal warts, 826 visits for clamydia and about two dozen for venereal herpes last year. Swesey said based on the phenomena of the HIV virus in society, some students at Central must be carrying the File Photo / The Observer virus causing Acquired Im­ mune Deficiency Syndrome. "Weknow statistically... that we do have people on dampus with HIV. There's no question about it," he said. The need to detect and treat all STD's early has great im­ portance, Swesey said. A person may have been ex­ posed to a STD years before the first symptoms show up. In the case of venereal warts, it is possible for no symptoms to develop. In the case of HIV, that period can be as long as a decade, he said. "There are students out there who have the HIV virus and don't know it," Swesey said. "It may be ten years before they develop any symptoms. Dur­ ing that time they're continu­ ing to spread the disease." Regular medical exams and periodic tests make early de­ tection of STD's possible. Once a patient is made aware of the problem, medical profession­ als can prescribe treatment and identify partners the pa­ tient may have infected. Swesey said it is important for women to be current on exams. "The recommendation now is that anybody that's sexually active should get them at least yearly," he said. autonomy for universities from ACT/ page 1 "We are pleased to see the enrollment lids removed," Schliesman said. "We would like to see, in the removal of the enrollment lids, contin­ ued state support for the addi­ tional students we admit." Scott Westlund, Central's Student Board of Directors vice president for political af­ fairs, is also enthusiastic about the elimination of en­ rollment lids. "I think it is always a posi­ tive sign to increase enroll­ ment and access in higher education," he said. The efficiency act also pro­ vides universities greater control in setting tuition. "It gives us more flexibility," Schliesman said. But it is exactly that flexibil­ ity which worries Westlund. "It is touchy to allow the uni­ versity to set tuition rates," Westlund said. "It is guaran­ teed that the Board of Trust­ ees and the university admin­ istration would push for higher tuition and it would be attain­ able if they were given greater control." Schliesman said he did not anticipate great changes in .undergraduate tuition, but would expect to see a raise in tuition for non-resident and graduate students. "The attempt here is to pro­ vide to those people managing universities, greater flexibil­ ity in decision making," Schliesman said. "Frankly, I think (the proposal) provides some very exciting challenges for the university and some very exciting opportunities as well." Feb. 12 CAMP EASTER SEALS 9 a.m.-5 p.m., SUB 107.

Promises of diversity do not apply to Greeks T hese days diversity is the word of choice at Central. So much so that it would be difficult to find any new proposal or statement released by the administra­ tion which at some point does riot contain a pledge to increase diversity on campus. This is a fact which should make Central proud, considering that diversity is, in eveiy sense, a desirable and valuable goal. But unfortunately, it appears to be a goal which is given more lip service than actual commitment. Perhaps there is a desire to increase ethnic, gender and cultural diversity on campus, but apparently this commitment has little or nothing to do with a diversity of ideas, experiences or lifestyles. Look at the recent dismissal of the efforts to start a social Greek system on campus. Deacon Meier, vice president of student affairs, said the clim ate ai)d culture at Central and the surrounding community are unsuitable for a Greek system. Now there's a statement promoting diversity! The administration may argue that they listened to the pro­ posal in support of establishing the system—but did they hear? Did they hear the request for an alternate lifestyle to the homogeneous non-Greek atmosphere Central provides? More importantly, did they hear the message they sent out to students? And that message is that anything which challenges the old social structure of this university will automatically be discour­ aged. College is an opportunity to explore new ideas and accumulate a variety of life-experiences. When students are denied the opportunity to participate in a Greek system, they are denied an option available to many in higher education. Diversity should be inclusive it should provide unlimited choices and opportunities. It should not simply involve a numerical increase in the enrollment of minority students or the creation of a more diversified faculty. Diversity should include the freedom to express ideas and live a lifestyle of choice even if it is the life of a fraternity or sorority member. The debate should not be about the pros and cons of a Greek system. Thatis trivial compared to the real issue. The real debate should focus on students' rights to explore their options, to express their ideas, to indulge in the full breadth of higher education. If Central is serious about its need to diversify, it should shun all attempts to stifle individual expression. Students who do not view a Greek system to be advantageous are free to pursue other activities. Those who wish to participate in a Greek system should not be denied the opportunity. That is what diversity is all about: the ability to go in different directions while maintaining alevel of mutual acceptance and respect for ideas, individuals and lifestyles that vaiy from the traditional culture at Central. A Greek system is not a threat to Central, What is a threat, is the university's false sense that it is providing a truly liberal education.

Cartoonists & Writers Syndicate Distributed by Tribune Media Services LETTERS Homophobia blamed for animosity To the Editor: Dan White should be com­ mended for publicly taking a stand on an emotionally charged issue like gays in the military few are so courageous. However, I must register strong disagreement with his argu­ ment. He admits that gays have ev­ ery quality necessary for good soldiering it is the homophobia ofthe straight soldiers that will cause the animosity that de­ stroys a unit's morale. In es­ sence, he would avoid the issue by excluding gays rather than solving the root problem. Not many years ago military units were segregated racially because of fear and ignorance. Segregation has become an artifact of our troubled past, and now it is time for homophobia to do the same. The military will be slow to change. Women have served in the Armed Forces for decades but at the infamous Tailhook Convention, plus the military establishment's "aw shucks" response, demonstrates con­ tinuing barbaric attitudes to­ wards women. This is not an issue of ap­ peasement. The military, like society at large, is trying to move beyond racism and sex­ ism. We must also move be­ yond homophobia. Steve Bovingdon Good old days lost to change To the Editor: As a graduating senior, I've found myself reflecting occa­ sionally over my four yearshere at Central. Central has been vexy good to me, but lately I've been dis­ turbed about some of the changes Fve noticed, and I fear that these changes may cause the school to provide less than it is capable of, to future stu­ dents. My gripe is with stupid, or unnecessary changes made by the administration. There are numerous examples to choose from. Stupidity was reducing the library hours and student ac­ cess to one of the most impor­ tant resources of information. Fortunately we were able to fix the shortened hours. Unnecessary was erecting a partition in the "fishbowl" to divide it into sections. It was bad enough when the media resource center was moved in, A but now the partition destroys what was the essence an insti­ tution of sorts for the students. The school's misguided mis­ sion statement is another ex­ ample of the problems which I fear are symptomatic of amuch £ larger problem. The administration's changing at­ titude toward the students, and the loss of focus arid sight of purpose. I don't suggest maintaining the status quo for fear of. ^ change. I suggest the imple­ mentation of meaningful and beneficial changes for the good of the students and the school See CHANGES/ Page 7 Fear of infection emotional, not intellectual The reaction from health care workers indicates that the risk tion to this issue, the federal from preforming (invasive) workers was, OK, you want to of a health care worker be- government and the Centers procedures until they have tpst. lis ...what, ahniit mir nn- mmmrr inlkst+A/1 r r\- n , . , by Jane Wright Does your physician have test us...what about our pa HIV?

"* The Observer Thursday February 11,1993 Page 7 Letters from CHANGE/ page 6 as a whole. All too often these changes have to be effected by some sneaky, back-door method A that doesn't allow for student input. I can understand that when people start a new job they do so with a certain amount of enthusiasm and alacrity. However, problems occur 9 when the desire to be effec­ tual overcomes one's common sense. I am worried that Central is no longer able to live up to its potential and it will be the student's loss. 0 How sad it is that after four years here, I am already remi­ niscing with a sense of nostal­ gia about the good old days when we had Mike Bush to call attention to such things every Thursday. Jared Long Basketball r victory tarnished To the Editor: The negative events during ® and after the Jan. 16 basket­ ball game between Central and Western Washington Univer­ sity were deplorable. While some may rationalize the actions in the name of school spirit, such attempts fall $ flat when people seated near those involvedreport language of the most vile and base na­ ture and acts of the same character directed against Western players. That a Western player reacted as he 3 did is hardly surprising. The repeated insults and taunts could hardly be tolerated. The behavior demonstrated by those few fans had nothing to do with school spirit or pride in Central. It had nothing to 9 do with joining other fans in Nicholson Pavilion in sup­ porting the team. And it had nothing to do with with fair play or even winning the game. In an event where athletic skills, precision play, and art- Q ful coaching should be the de­ ciding factors in who wins or loses, winning by any other means is hardly winning at all. There is nothing courageous, nor heroic, nor supportive of 9 school spirit in the deliberate attempts to goad a player to strike out at you. There is nothing that can be said that will put such actions in a posi­ tive light. Recently, there has beenmuch finger-pointing at Central staff for having failed to foresee the actions of Jan. 16. To become locked in verbal conflict over what has passed is hardly a useful exercise. What is more important is that we look ahead and determine what we can do to reduce the the lowest possible level, the probability of such actions taking place again. The most immediate steps are being taken by Central's Direc­ tor of Athletics, Dr. Gary Fredrick. These are: 1) to devise ways to reduce fan access to the play­ ers on the floor, and 2) to implement revised patterns of security staffing and presence. -In addition, the Associated Students of Central will meet with their counterparts at WWU with the intent of ce­ menting positive school spirit between the student bodies of the two universities. Central's student affairs pro­ fessionals will work with the athletic staff and students to alter the climate at athletic events so the focus is on the positive. We have a sports program which is held in high regard. We wish to have a fan partici­ pation program to match the quality of our athletic teams. Gregory Trujillo Vice President, Student Affairs Greek life positive for majority To the Editor: This is in response to the let­ ter "Ex-Greek finds refuge at Central." I'm a transfer student from Washington State University and also a Greek. Now obviously, not everyone was meant to be in a house but on the other hand, there is a house for everyone. Because someone chose a house and had a bad experience, the first thing they do is blame the Greek system. That person needs to realize that their expierence is not the norm. Out of 22 men that pledged my house in the fall of 1990, all returned after the first semes­ ter. A year and a half later, there are only three that left one because of grades and two because their futureplanshave changed resulting in a change in schools. No one left due to a conflict with the Greek system. To me, the comments the "Ex- Greek" made and the people that share her opinion of the Greek system have this type of experiencebecause they are not willing to grow up. In order to become a member of a house, you come to realize that all your pledge brothers or sisters rely on you and you in turn rely on them. In the lengthy weeks as a pledge you learn to love and trust your pledge-brothers or sisters. When you go through initiation (an experience I would not give up for anything) and become a member, you gain the respect of eveiy per­ son that has ever been initi­ ated before you and all that follow. With the knowledge that there are 50 people in your house and an infinite number of people around the country who would do anything for you at any time, how could this ever be considered a bad experience? Remember aex-Greek," once a Greek, always a Greek. Un­ less, of course, you got your pin pulled (kicked out of the house). So don't go around blaming the Greek system for your ex­ perience, blame the only per­ son that is responsible for any­ thing that happens in your life, yourself. More than football at Central To the Editor: I would like to know if people realize football is not the only fall sport here at Central? Af­ ter reading "Jackets left 20 players out in cold" in the Jan 21, issue of the Observer, I was disgusted. I have nothing against Central's football team, but every sport was affected by the new rulings. If that letter dis­ played the attitude of the av­ erage Central student, then maybe football should be the only sport that gets letters. To any player of any sport, a lettermen's jacket "means they ate appreciated by the school." Since football was singled out, I assume it is the only fall sport appreciated here at Central.

^ The Observer Thursday, February 11,1993 Page 9 SCENE Students, faculty share healing process Mending psychological scars of childhood sexual abuse by Nathaniel Romanelll Staff reporter The audience sat silent, con- £ templating the forceful mes­ sage delivered by the guest speaker. The message was one of both psychological and physical impact, detailing sexual abuse and the healing process victims ^ of incest and other sexual abuses encounter. Stephanie Williams, 23, a leisure services major, is an incest survivor. When she was an 8-year-old, she was forced to have sex by 31 her 13-year-old cousin. Her cousin threatened her if she ever revealed to anyone what happened. She wanted to speak about the healing process— a pro­ cess that requires honesty, love, and support. "Speaking out about my abuse is one of the most impor­ tant keys to my healing," said Williams, who suffered Post- Traumatic Stress Disorder in 1990. She said the memories of her childhood trauma still remain strong. Dr. Patricia J. Cole, a psy­ chologist from Central's Health and Counseling Center, pre­ sented evidence detailing the commonness of sexual abuse. Cole defined sexual abuse as any form of coerced sexual interaction,and said the adults in a child's life are the power figures, forcing children into illicit conduct. Cole compared driving a car to sexual abuse. Driving a car carries with it a feeling of independence and boldness. If a parent asks a child to do something inappropriate for their age, in this case drive in Seattle rush-hour traffic, the child will think it's fun, until an accident occurs. It will not be the child's fault that something detrimental happened, Cole said, but the child will feel guilt over the bad experience such is the case with sexual abuse inflicted upon children by an adult. Cole said the first random sample of women studied in 1986 revealed 38 percent of women were abused by age 18. However, she also said the traditional stereotypes of adults molesting children no longer are true. Increasing evidence shows older children are now the ones who inflict physical and emo­ tional harm upon younger children. "Boys who are molested are apt to become molesters," Cole said. . "Women who have been mo­ lested as children are apt to become victims. Cole recommends therapy to counter sexual abuse. The Health and Counseling Center has literature and staff avail­ able to help victims of abuse recover from their ordeals. Jo-Ellen Thomas, deputy prosecuting attorney for Kitti­ tas County, discussed the le­ gal ramifications of child abuse for those who victimize others. Thomas said the competency ofhaving children as witnesses is a key concern to the court system and to prosecutors be­ cause they are not mature enough to accurately recall events. However, a child's testimony is needed to prove the truth. "Children are naturally re­ luctant (to present information in atrial) they are embarrassed to reveal everything the defen­ dant has done to them the first time around," Thomas said. A lot of emotional damage is done to kids when they have to be put through the rigors of the legal system in sexual abuse cases, Thomas said. Russian student living American college-lifestyle by LaRon Berreth Staff reporter Alena Yestchko, a 20-year- old senior, left St. Petersburg University in 1990 to come to :,®~ school in the United States, and is finishing this spring with a 4.0 grade point average in experimental psychology. In St. Petersburg, Russia, the population is 5 million and the state pays for higher edu- ^ cation. "We do not have to pay to go to school in Russia," she said. The state pays for higher public education. Yestchko also said schools are "more competitive" than schools in ^ the United States, as there can be 20 students applying for one opening at a university, she said. Yestchko wrote a winning 1990-91 essay on why she wanted to go to college in the ® United States.

"If I did not understand a Yestchko and her brother owe biology assignment given at a lot of their school success to school, I would not worry. My father would be able to help me," Yestchko said. Their father is an engineer for the Space Department in the Ukraine, and their mother is a math professor at St. Pe­ tersburg University. Families are a lot closer in Russia than in the United States, Yestchko said, and she either visits or calls her grandparents every day. She called Ellensburg "a great community for international students," and said people are curious to find out about Russia and ho w different it is than the United States. Her most memorable experi­ ences in Washington are "the people and skiing, skiing, and skiing!" One third of Alena's educa­ tion is paid by approximately 10 different Rotary Clubs throughout Washington and Canada. The rest is covered by a tu­ ition waiver from Central's International Programs. Working the big quake by Tracy Veness Staff reporter At the epicenterjgf the ge­ ology department is a profes­ sor who is interested in very shaky ground- earthquakes. Charlie Rubin, a geology professor at Central, is also a. visiting scientist faculty member at California Insti­ tute ofTechnology. His work in the field of geology is not only helping Central "to re­ vitalize the sciences and get them going again," but to study the effects of earth­ quakes in the Northwest. Rubin's revitalization tac­ tics include bringinghisreal- life experiences into the classroom, such as his par­ ticipation last summer in studying a quake that shook Landers, Calif. See Quakes / Page 11 East meets west through student exchange program by Nathaniel Romanelii Staff reporter The East literally meets the West through the Asia Uni­ versity/America Program, £ which is bringing Japanese and American cultures to­ gether. Cynthia Green, the director of the Asia University/America Program, supervises the ex­ change of students from Asia ^ University in Tokyo, Japan to Central. The program assists in the students' transition by giving them an introduction welcome when they arrive on campus. Before they begin classes, the students undergo English placement and testing. Addi­ tionally, there is a four-day program where the exchange students are familiarized with the Asia University/America Program, the Central campus and the El- lensburg community. "We receive two groups of 78 students each for five months," Green said. The first group comes for fall and winter quarters, and the last group comes for spring and summer quarters. To qualify for the program, a student must be a sophomore at Asia University and in good academic standing. For the program, classes were established and staffed specifically for the exchange students, covering subjects such as English and American history. Students do not re­ ceive credit for these classes through Central, but through Asia University. Green said the program plans several extracurricular activi­ ties for the students to assist them in adapting to American so­ ciety, includ­ ing field trips throughout the state, and the Community Friends and the Campus Friends programs. The Community Friends program matches a student with a family in Ellensburg, and the student and family then meet for different social functions. The Campus Friends program matches an exchange student with a Cen­ tral student. This program helps both students become better acquainted with each other's culture. The Asia University/America Program has been functioning at Central since March 1989. The program began in Japan, when President Shinkichi Eto of Asia University created an exchange program with West­ ern Washington University. Western is the sister univer­ sity to Asia University. Four other schools, in addi­ tion to Western, currently par­ ticipate in the program with Asia University. They are Central, Eastern Washington University, Oregon State Uni­ versity, and Boise State Uni­ versity. A total of700 students participate annually in the program throughout the five schools. More than 3,000 stu­ dents have participated since the program's inception. The program at Central has eight American students who assume the responsibility of International Student Assis­ tants. The ISA's are assigned to live in specific residence halls to help supervise exchange stu­ dents in addition to helping them fit in at Central and to American life. There are ap­ proximately 10 exchange stu­ dents per ISA A film crew from the Dentsu Advertising Agency in Japan recently visited Central to make a 30minute orientation film to prepare students for American life before they leave Japan. Yasuyuki Sawada and Yasunari Nakane are both business majors at Asia Uni­ versity, and participants in the Asia University/America Pro­ gram. They said they are enjoying their English courses and have noticed a definite improvement in their listening skills since they started course work at Central. The two said the homework at Central is more difficult in comparison to their instruction back home. Typical class size in their American classes runs about 20 students.

Q: Do you think people working in the medical professions should be tested for AIDS? by Thuy Luu Staff reporter i Marie Hartung, 20, a psy­ chology major from Seattle. "Yeah, I think they should be tested for AIDS, but only if they're work­ ing in direct contact with body fluids. Not every­ body would be required to have testing." Cedric Sanders, 23, a loss control management major from Tri-Cities. "Yeah, I do, because there's a risk. There's not enough research to show that it can't be transmit­ ted through open wounds." - Naomi Wilson, 27, special ed/early childhood double major from Yakima. "Yes I do. They're work­ ing with blood more than the general public, espe­ cially surgeons and nurses." Jeff Seymour, 19, a busi­ ness administration major from Issaquah. "Yeah, I figure that people that work with health issues should protect their customers from any possible infec­ tion." £ 8 JO O © 3 I C a Q Central students learn the Boot Scoot Boogie from the dance Instructors of Yakima's Sun Country Shufflers. It Is being taught free of charge In the S.U.B. Country dancers kick and scoot by LaRon Berreth Staff reporter Central students and fac­ ulty members will be boot stompin' and yee hawin' it up at the Student Union Build­ ing Ballroom, Feb. 22, from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m. with the Yakima Sun Country Shufflers, a countiy/western dance troupe. "I came last week for the first time and it was really fun. So we came back this week. It's a good study break for a Monday night," said Gretchyn Ehrlich, a 22-year- old English major. "Residence Living and Auxiliary Services is spon­ soring the Sun Country Shufflers," said Janet Downs from Residence Living. Downs said they are amazed at the turnout for the dancing lessons. Downs said there are a lot more people than they antici­ pated coming out to learn how to dance. There have been close to 200 students and faculty members showing up during the first two lessons. "I'm amazed at the number of people here and how popu­ lar it is," said Paula Johnson, a 22- year- old business mqjor. Students and faculty mem­ bers are kicking up their heels and learning the Boot Scootin' Boogie, the Electric Slide, the Achy Breaky, as well as several other country/western dances. "It's free and I can't miss this opportunity," said Karina Moran, a 22-year-old retail management major. The Sun Country Shufflers have 90 members throughout all of Washington. "This is the first time we have tried this in awhile," Fred George, a Sun Country Shuffler, said. Sun Country Shufflers' members travel all over the state to learn more dances and compete in national com­ petitions. The money they make is do­ nated to a charity the mem­ bers vote on at the beginning of the season. In April, the Sun Country Shufflers will be participat­ ing in the Yakima Special Olympics. "Everyone should get out and try it Country/western danc­ ing is a lot of fun," said Tom Gladney, a 22-year-old busi- ness major. * Don't Get Screwed!

The Observer Thursday, February 11,1993 Page 11 Student service helps in career planning by Mark R. Temple Staff reporter Do you want to know what kind of education require­ ments there are in your per­ spective job field? If you answered "yes" to the above question, the Career Planning and Placement Center is available for help. Located in the Manashtash Building behind Black Hall, the CP&PC is open to stu­ dents, graduate students and alumni. It is arranged so students can browse in the CP&PC li- braiy or receive counseling. Dean Owens, the director of the CP&PC, said the library has the biggest selection of career materials on campus. "There really is no place on campus that you can find out more about a company," said Owens. The library contains direc­ tories of companies, salaiy in­ formation, graduate school in­ formation and books on job hunting. Owens stresses the impor­ tance of being prepared. ^The sooner you know what kind of program you need, the better," Owens said. Writing resumes, cover let­ ters and preparing for inter­ views is essential to job prepa­ ration and can be learned through CP&PC. For undergraduates, there are workshops for students to prepare for interviewing. This service is provided to give a hands-on experience in what prospective employers expect from interviews.

AN EASY GUIDE TO TI1E MOST COMMON SHXl ALI.Y TRANSMITTED DISEASES DESCRIPTION AIDS: Nature equipped you with an Immune system to figjtf off tafectkm and disease. The AIDS vims doesn't just attack your body, it destroys that Immune system so that your body Is more prone to develop diseases like pneumonia or cancer. CHLAMYDIAS Chlamydia (an infection of the urinary trad and/or vagina) is the most common STD In U.S. This is because it has few or no symptoms. As a result, it's possible to have the disease for some time without knowing it GENITAL WARTS (HPV): More than 60 (fifferart kinds of Genital Warts are associated with the Human Papilloma virus. (HPV). Since they can be passed on easily, and in some cases have been linked to cancers of the reproductive system, you should have them treated as soon as possible. Females should have yearly Pap tests. HERPES: Herpes is a virus which infects the surface of the skin and which can be a threat to babies bom from infected mothers Although symptoms can be tteated, future outbreaks can be expected at times of stress. SYPHILIS: Itts disease can affect any patt of your body or your unborn child. Left uncreated, it becomes a serious disease Indeed: between 10 and 25 years after the initial infection, 25% of ail sufferers can develop paralysis, heart diseases, severe brain damage... or even die. GONORRHEA: Left untreated, Gonorrhea can cause sterility in men, pelvic inflammatory disease in women, and arthritis in both. It can also settle in the heart, brain, or spinal cord. TRICHOMONIASIS: Trichomoniasis is a disease which causes Inflammation of die vagina. Although Trichomoniasis primarily affects women, it can also be carried and spread by men.

Professor on shaky ground not much larger than Kittitas, overwhelmed the Richter Scale, destroyed roads and homes in Yucca Valley and could be felt 150 miles away in Los Angeles. Part of Rubin's studies in Landers were made possible by "Good Morning America," which, in exchange for a day's use of a helicopter, filmed the scientist's work in action. Rubin visits the California Institute of Technology in the summer months and on breaks during the school year. It is his hope that his study of earthquakes in California can someday be applied to the Northwest, he said. The Pacific Northwest "is a great place to study earth­ quakes that no one knows about," said Rubin, noting sci­ entists do not really know the earthquake potential on the east side of the Cascades. From QUAKES / page 9 While in Los Angeles study­ ing faults, Rubin received a call on June 28 at 5 a.m. about the massive earthquake, and within an hour he and a collegue were on their way to Landers to discover which faults broke and how much damage was done. "Five different faults broke at once, which is very rare," said Rubin. "It was the largest off set that has ever happened in North America." "Off set," refers to when fault(s), the boundaries be­ tween two of the earth's plates or the middle of a plate, break and the ground moves. The resultingmeasured movement is called the offset.

Page 12 Thursday, February 11,1993 The Observer SPORTS Wildcats win three on road trip & by Jason Goldner Staff reporter Strong board play, four double-figure scorers and limited fouls and turnovers helped the Central men's basketball team defeat Sheldon Jackson, 76-53 in a non-district game in Sitka, Alaska, Saturday night. The Wildcats hauled in 63 rebounds in comparison to the Seals' 32. Twenty-eight of Central's rebounds were of­ fensive in the team's fifth consecutive victory. Coach Gil Coleman said he felt satisfied with the rebounding effort for both Saturday's game and the week. "We've improved on our rebounding which is what we needed," Coleman said. "I was also impressed with the way we handled the ball." The Pepper brothers com­ bined for 31 points with Ja­ son scoring 18 and Ryan add­ ing 13. Forward Shawn Frank fin­ ished with 12 points and 10 rebounds. Center Otto Pijpker added 11 points, four blocked shots and a game-high 14 rebounds.

Both teams were almost even in field goal shooting. Central shot 34 percent to Sheldon Jackson's 33 percent. Coleman said he wants to work on perimeter shooting and free throws. "I would like to see more of our points come from the line and three-point range," he said. Central edged the Seals at the line sinking 27-45 to its opponent's 5-10. Sheldon Jackson outfouled the Wildcats 31-11. The game capped off a three- game winning streak on the road last week improving Central's record to 20-6. The win marked Central's first 20-win season since 1990, the last season Dean Nicholson was at Central. Central defeated Pacific Lutheran University 76-67 on Feb. 2 and Seattle University 90-51 on Feb. 4. During last week's road trip, the Wildcats outrebounded their opponents 154-97 and averaged a 24-point margin of victory. The Peppers accounted for 42 percent of the Wildcats 242 to­ tal points in last week's three games. J. Pepper closed in on second place in the school's all-time career scoring list. He needs just 27 points to pass Ron vanderSchaafs 1,693 total points scored between 1984-87. Junior guard Chad Boyer av­ eraged six assists per game last week. Central has won its last four divisional games for a 5-2 league record, but still trail the University of Puget Sound whose 6-1 league record (13-8 overall) leads the District I standings. Coleman said the Wildcats need to stay healthy to finish the rest of the season strong. Central hosts Simon Fraser University tonight at 7:30.

Page 14 Thursday, February 11,1993 The Observer Women's club sets by Mark R. Temple Staff reporter "We aren't a bunch of over­ weight, ugly, she-monsters," said rugby coach Kim Miller. "We're just athletic and deter­ mined." With its coaching problems worked through and some promising new players, the Central Women's Rugby Club is looking for a successful sea­ son. In its third year of existence, the women's club is working toward making the team as strong as they possibly can. "We had a one and four sea­ son last fall," said Miller, who is one of the team's coaches as well as a Central student. "Last season was more of a building season for us," said Miller. "We only had four returning veterans," she said. "Once you stick someone, it's a rush. You can't be afraid to get hit." -Kim Miller Miller said the women play the same game as the men with the only difference being the women's halves are only 30 minutes long compared to the men's 40 minutes. "The halves could be just as long, but no one wants to run around out there that long," said Miller. The women's league contains many of the same teams that the men's club play, including Whitman, Eastern Washing- tort University, Washington State University, and the University of Idaho. The women occasionally play a few Seattle te&ms. One of the big differences in the two leagues, said Miller, is that the men have more teams to choose from. "There aren't as many ran­ dom women's teams as there are for the men," said Miller. "Most of their play is against other collegiate teams." The club arranges their own schedules and rotates game times with the men's team. "Our game days are the same as the guy's," said Miller. "We share the field and the respon­ sibilities that go with it." According to Miller, a main problem the team has had to face has been the coaching di­ lemma. She said from the beginning there has been a lack of par­ ticipation by coaches. "They weren't dedicated," said Miller. The team is now basically self-coached with Miller and a few others there to help. "We have practices usually twice a day," said Miller. "Once in the morning, and then an­ other at night." The 'women have about 20 members oil the team and Miller said they could always use more. "It's hardto keep the same people "said Miller. "There are usually only five to ten return­ ers each season." "I think the main reason for the lack of players is the in­ timidation factor,"said Miller. Women's rugby players Kim Miller, D. Terry (behind), Hilda Sexuar) Kerry White (behind)™" ^ Monica Roy prepare to scrum down at a practice this week outside Nicholson Pavilion. Miller said a lot of the girls don't turn out because of the roughness of the game, even though she said there is rarely an actual fight in their league. "There is just occasional name calling," said Miller. Miller emphasizes that the game of rugby is very physical and demanding. "You have to want to go for it," said Miller. "You can't be afraid to get hit." Miller said that the game can be intimidatingbecause it's not necessarily "something girls were taught to do." But Miller said that you get used to it. "Once you stick someone," said Miller, "it's a rush." Miller, compared it to being addicted to something. She claimed that the pain suffered on the field is a hindrance at the time, but later you wish you were still doing it. "You want more," said Miller. "It's a sense of overcoming in­ timidation." Miller said girls shouldn't be afraid to try it. "The stereotypes of women's rugby aren't true," said Miller. With the new players and the returning veterans, the women's rugby club is looking for a strong season ahead of them. "Although rugby is an ag­ gressive and social sport, it isn't hard for anyone to try," said Miller. "We have a promising season ahead of us," she added. €. 207 West Eighth Ellensburg HAPPY'S MARKET WE ACCEPT FOOD STAMPS. Open Every Day 7 A.M. -11 P.M.
