The Union Board planned to vote Jan. 10 on whether to allow the cable station to be aired weekday mornings in the SUB, but tabled the decision because SUB Director Karen Moawad, who will make the final decision, was not present at the meeting. By broadcasting to the SUB during the day, KCAT hopes to expose a greater number of students to their music. The plan is for the station to be heard in the Games Room, the SUB pit, and possibly the south cafeteria, from 7 a.m. until noon. The station will then continue regular programming at 3 p.m. may hinder fall enrollment photo by Diane M. Schuirman/The Observer Mary Marcy, Central's director of Governmental Relations, prepared to tackle another legislative session in her office last week. The session opened Monday. Marcy, who has offices in both Ellensburg and Olympia, faces several legislative Issues and a possible 2.5 percent budget cut over the biennium. Dead Air: Plans for KCAT in SUB on hold by Joe Butler News editor by Diane M. Schuirman Editor-in-chief If Gov. Mike Lo wry's newest bud get proposal is approved, Central will not be able to increase its en rollment next fall quarter, said Mary Marcy, director of .Central's Gov ernmental Relations. The proposal calls for another $22 million in cuts from higher educa tion funding statewide. XfiOJtaUsjshare.bfihatxomes-out- to be a 1.25 percent cut for one year, bringing the total cut to 2.5 percent over the two years of the biennial budget, Marcy said. Central stands to lose over 800,000 for the 1994-95 school year, she said. "It would be-a very painful cut," Marcy said. "The problem we have is we are dying a death of a thou sand cuts." Since 1991, Central has suffered a 7.8 percent budget cut while en rollment has increased by 11 per cent "We're trying to serve more stu dents with less resources," Marcy said. "A lot of introductory classes have gone from classes of maybe 25 students to classes of 40 or 45. At some point, these are not efficiency cuts. They're cuts at the heart and soul of the institution. "Our ability to absorb a cut prob ably means that it will come out of enrollment," she said. "We can't take more students and teach them with less faculty. If we get a significant cut, we'll keep our currentenrollmentlevek" Maintaining the current enroll ment level is undesirable because Washington ranks last in the nation for access to higher education, Marcy said. "We need to altow new students to come in, but without the finan cial support we can't teach them," she said. It is unknown what other affects such a budget would have on Cen tral if passed, Marcy said. She said this is because the pro posed cuts have not targeted spe cific areas. "That's the good thing about the governor's budget, because it gives us some abili ty to respond and hope fully retain the quality of the insti tution," she said. Marcy testified this week to the House Higher Education Commit tee regarding the governor's bud get, and Courtney Jones, vice presi dent of Business and Financial Af fairs, will testify next week to the House Appropriations Committee on the proposed budget, she said. Students can voice their opinions to the legislature through student HeaitherFlodsmjiti, Central's Leg islative Liaison, by calling the leg islative hotline, or by contacting any of their local legislators. "More than 60 percent of our stu dents come from the west side," Marcy said." Sometimes the west side legisla tors think We're just an east side institution, so when students write to their local legislators, it kind of makes them realize there are people on the west side who care about Central and who care about what happens here." The final decision on the budget proposal will not be known until the legislative session adjourns, which is scheduled for March 10. until 3 a.m„ KCAT is broadcast from Bouillon Hall. Mark Noesen, KCAT station manager, hopes the board will approve the change. If the plan is approved Jan. 25, the station can begin broadcasting to the SUB Jan. 26, he said. Union Board officials met with station management during fall quarter and asked that they distribute a survey to SUB users, including students and adminis trators, indicating their music preferences, whether they listened to KCAT regularly, and if they would like to hear it in the SUB. Approximately 150 surveys were returned to the Associated Students of Central Board of Directors office, said Leslie Webb, ASCWU representative for student facilities. The responses were "pretty pro- KCAT," Webb said. See KCAT/page 5 Central's Legislative agenda set Central's 1994 legislative agenda opposes any attempt to require a student representative to serve on Central's Board of Trustees and cautiously ap proaches a possible bill which would give the board the author ity to set tuition rates. Mary Marcy, director of Central's Governmental Rela tions, announced the agenda at a recent meeting of the Ellensburg Rotary. The Washington Student Lobby is expected to present a bill requiring a student to serve on the board of trustees or board of regents at each of the state's six institutions of higher education. Such a bill has been presented by WSL for the past few years, and has not succeeded. Central opposes a bill of this type because having a student representative on the board defeats the board's puipose, the „.J agenda said. The board was established to create an objective and removed body, rather than a body of special interests. It is Central's position that students serving on the board would be faced with a conflict of interest, and if students gain representation, other groups such as faculty would be entitled to it as well, according to the agenda. A bill giving colleges and universities the authority to set their own tuition rates may also be introduced during this legislative session. Marcy described such a bill as dramatic. "It has the potential to be a real philosophy change for the admin istration of higher education in the See AGENDA/page 4 Page 2 Thursday, January 13,1994 The Observer Van pool may ease parking lot problems by Greg Aldaya Copy editor The pressure on Central's over crowded parking lots may soon be eased by a commuter van pool which began yesterday. The van pool could replace the cars of up to IS students using the vans who would otherwise com mute, Edna Madsen, motor pool supervisor, said. Two van pools were run to and from Yakima yesterday. The vans will be departing from Yakima daily at 7 a.m. and arriving on cam pus at 8 a.m. The vans will leave campus at 5 p.m. and arrive in Yakima at 6 p.m. Madsen is anxious to start an other pool from Cle Elum and Kittitas. The van pool provides a valuable service to commuter students, Madsen said. This service has two main benefits. First, it makes more parking on campus available without the cost of building more spaces. Second, it reduces the environ mental impact of several vehicles traveling daily from Yakima. Rob Chrisler, director of Auxil iary Services, said there are ap proximately 2,822 parking spaces wcTt'iYm iw Student Village residents unable to find a prime spot In the overcrowded parking lot compete for space along Alder Street.

Initially, the van pool will be offered to transport students to and from the Yakima, Kittitas and Cle Elum areas to Central, but a van pool to and from the Moses Lake area has been authorized, if there is enough interest expressed Ml It.

Steve Rittereiser, Central's chief of Public Safety and Police Ser vices, said the main problem with parking on campus is not alack of space, but too many people trying to park in prime places on campus so they don't have far to walk. There are people who figure since a class is only SO minutes long, they can get away with parking in a 30-minute parking space, Rittereiser said. "My advice to people would be to buy a parking permit," Rittereiser said. Anyone wanting to participate in the van pool program can call the motor pool at 963-3259. NEED INSURANCE?

Though he was jailed more than a dozen times for resisting arrest, he never encouraged violence, and like Gandhi, who King studied in India, he preached non-violent civil disobedience. The successes of his efforts to end segregation, increase black voter registration, and improve living and educational conditions for blacks in the South all are apparent today.

PANASONIC APPLE BROTHER CANON PANASONIC AgendarCentral may set its tuition rates From AGENDA/ page 1 state," she said. Last year, institutions were given local control of tuition money, meaning Central now retains its own tuition money instead of put ting it into Washington's general budget fund. Tuition rate-setting authority would mean Central's trustees would exclusively determine Central's tuition rates. The board would also be able to charge different rates for different courses and to determine the amount charged to resident and nonresident or undergraduate and graduate students, the agenda said. Tuition, rates are currently set by the legislature. An Attorney General's opinion is pending on whether or not the pas sage of Initiative 601 will affect tuition. If so, tuition increases could not exceed the state's growth fac tor. The opinion is expected to be announced in the next few months, according to the agenda. The major disadvantage of Cen tral gaining rate-setting authority is the legislature may further decrease state spending on higher education without having to take responsibil ity for resulting tuition increases, Marcy said. "There are a lot of very major philosophical issues about higher education policy that need to be addressed before we come down firmly on one side or the other," she said. Also on the agenda is a bill being prepared by Gov. Mike Lowry that will probably apply to higher edu cation allowing contracting-out. This means institutions will not be required to deal with local unions exclusively but will be allowed to contract through a bidding process in order to get the best price for jobs, Marcy said. Central supports this bill, but will be in communication with unions on this issue, the agenda said. One expected bill Central supports will either increase or abolish a $25,000 budget ceiling on projects that can be done without going through a bidding process. Another bill Central supports will give members of Native American tribes that have traditional land domain in Washington resident tu ition rates, even if they do not live in Washington. Central opposes an expected bill that would give faculty collective bargaining power. Its position is this would create an adversarial relationship between faculty and the administration, according to the agenda. Such power is expected to cost universities $2.4 million in increased legal costs during its first two years, the agenda said. Central supports and has consid ered sponsoring a bill to provide more incentives for faculty early retirement, but may not be pre pared to move such a bill through this session, the agenda said. The session, which began Mon day, should end March 10. OLYMPIA We carry a large selection of typewriter ribbons, computer ribbons and correcting tape.

Lin Douglas, associate dean of the School of Professional Studies, received the grant from the state in December and is now director of a project to recruit and retain special education teachers. The reason for the grant is to ensure that an adequate supply of qualified personnel will be available to meet the future needs of students with disabili ties. As director, Douglas will evaluate previous and current efforts to recruit and retain K-12 teachers and related personnel, project future personnel needs for the state, determine how to recruit effectively over the next five years, and design research studies to establish greater retention rates for the future. •A Central music performance major has been awarded an annual undergraduate scholarship from Phi Kappa Phi, a national honor society, and will represent Central at a regional string competition this month. Dave Beck, a junior, received a $600 scholarship from Central's PKP chapter. Beck has a 4.0 cumulative grade point average, is a Presidential Scholar, and has earned several music honors at Central. Beck, who plays the violin, won the Central Concerto-Aria audition and was the solo performer with Central's orches tra in November. This month, he will travel to Wyoming to the regional competition of the Music Teachers National Wurlitzer Collegiate String Competition. Beck studies under Carrie Rehkopf, an assistant professor, who teaches violin and viola. Phi Kappa Phi's objective is the recognition and encouragement of superior scholarship in all academic disciplines. •Two recent Central graduates won first place and a Central faculty member made it to the finals at the International Textile and Apparel Association Annual Conference in November. Cynthia Breiland and Tammi Sudderth, who graduated last June, won two out of six total student awards at the four-day conference held in White Sulphur Springs, W. Va. Breiland, who works at a Seattle sportswear company, won top prizes for technical merit for a hot pink ski jacket and a silk- lattice work jacket with a skirt. Sudderth, who works for a bridal boutique in Seattle, won the American Wool Council's award for a reversible Pendleton wool coat. Carolyn Schactler, an associate professor in the home economics department, made the finals in the faculty/professional division for a black Ultrasuede suit and a gold interlay. At the conference, 54 students from the United States submitted more than 200 entries. Schactler presented a research paper on teaching pants fit, and a project on draping. The draping project was written by Janet Hethorn, a Central graduate who teaches at the University of California, Davis. Schactler said Central has made the finals for the past three years, but this is the first year they have taken first place. •The American Medical Association's Committee on Allied Health Education and Accreditation voted to continue accreditation of Central's paramedic program.

'The music doesn't fit every one," Webb said. KCAT plays mainly alternative music, but also plays rhythm and blues, older rock, Christian music, rap, reggae and heavy metal music, she said. The level and type of music will definitely have to be decided on before the station begins broadcasting, she said. She suggested KCAT manage ment could get together and decide on programming. "I think the station needs to Sticky needles, dead goats, sewer grates figure out its goals. We provided them with the feedback from, the surveys, and they will soon get their ideas back to - us," Webb said. "Personally, I think it will be fine." Tom Kokenge, KCAT r program director, said he hopes the station can get expanded listenership by being heard every morning by many people in the SUB. "I think radio is much more conducive to studying than watching TV is," Kokenge said. Both Kokenge and Noesen said the disc jockeys who will be broadcasting in the mornings will have to be a little more professional and polished since they will probably be heard by more listeners. Tax Tips-it's that time of year again... Q. Last year, I worked a regular job but on weekends and eve nings I repaired cars for friends and made $3,700 in extra income. Do I have to report this extra income? A. Yes. It is self-employment income and must be reported. You figure your taxable amount on Schedule C or C-EZ (Form 1040), "Profit or Loss from Business." Compute any self-employment social security tax on Schedule SE (Form 1040), "Self-Employment Tax." Both schedules are attached to Form 1040 when you file your income taxes. Q. I got married last year. Do I need to notify the Internal Rev enue Service that I changed my name? A. If you changed your name because of marriage, divorce or for other reasons, you should immediately notify the Social Security Adminis tration. This will help prevent delays in processing your return and issuing your refund, because SS A notifies the IRS of your change in name. Also, by letting the SSA know of the change, you will safe guard your future social security benefits. If you get a tax return package with a mailing label, be sure to print your new name on the label. Tax Tips is a compilation of common taxpayer questions selected and answered by the IRS.

He is the author of nine books, including Intentionality: An Essay in the Philosophy of Mind and Minds, Brains and Science. He is a Rhodes Scholar and the recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship as well as many other awards and honors. Dr. Searle has given well over three hundred lectures at universities and to professional groups across the United States and in over two dozen foreign countries. Dr. Searle's writings include major contributions to the artificial intelligence debate (i.e., can machines think?). His seminal paper "Minds, Brains, and Programs" in which he presents the famous Chinese room parable answers this question in the negative and is the focus of scores of commentaries. University police officers arrested two men from the Tacoma area Jan. 2 for several charges, including theft and possession of marijuana. On the morning of Jan. 2, officers received two reports of daylight car prowls and stereo thefts from the N-19 and G-16 parking lots. A witness gave officers a description of a car possibly driven by the suspects. By 8 p.m., with the assistance of Ellensburg police officers, the vehicle was stopped. The witness was called and made a positive identification of the car and the two passengers, and after the two passengers were arrested, the interior of the car was searched. Officers found a compact disc player matching the description of one reported stolen that morning. Steve Rittereiser, chief of Public Safety and Police Services, said his officers figured that the two prowls were related by the time and method of entry, so they felt another stereo part was around. After securing a search warrant, officers opened the trunk and found another stereo piece, linking the suspects to both crimes. They also found several baggies of marijuana in the trunk. The two men, both 20, were arrested and charged with possession of stolen property, car prowl, and possession of mari juana. One of the suspects was also charged with possession of marijuana with the intent to deliver. A woman called officers Tuesday morning to report she pricked her finger on a needle while opening the door to an office in Randall Hall. She found a hypodermic needle attached with sculpture wax to the underside of her doorknob. An investigation is continuing. Campus Cops back because you asked for it Officers were called toBarto Hall several times between Jan.6 and Jan.8 for noise violations. Two residents were given warning tickets at midnight on Jan.6. On Jan. 8, one room received a city noise violation notice at 1:15 a.m., and at 2:28 a.m. another resident received a warning for noise. Also on Jan. 8, police were called to Student Village for violations of the noise ordinance. l^ist Thursday night, two residents of Alford-Montgomery Hall received citations. Both were cited for possession of marijuana, and one received a citation for being a minor in possession of alcohol. The ^officersreportedort^Jrtdividual had a stolen credit card, and was subsequently charged with possession of stolen property. Campus police officials assisted a woman injured in a bicycle accident Tuesday morning. The woman was riding her bike on 18th and Alder streets, hit a sewer grate and flew over the handlebars to land on the pavement. Officers transported her to Kittitas County Valley Hospital where she was treated for chin injuries and scrapes. Early Tuesday morning, officers received three different reports of car prowls in the O- 19 parking lots. At 4:20 a,m. officers found a car window shattered. Stereo equipment was taken from one of the cars between 11:30 p.m. and 4 a.m. One more we couldn't resist....

Sanders, minority affairs coordinatorfor Student Activities, has taken the time to invite speakers to campus in hpnor of this holiday, but he scheduled th6m for this week because he knows the student mind set well enough to know few people would attend the talks on Monday. No one has to remind us to celebrate Christmas or New Year's, holidays where we get presents and have an excuse to party. But when it comes to Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthday, we consider itjiist a day off, a day when we don't go to class and professors can't get upset about it. : We can get caught up on all the things we've been putting off, go home or party extra hard the night before because we have a whole day to sleep it off. Nowhere have we made time for true observation, reflection or celebration of this day, even when opportunities surround us. This holiday was not proclaimed so we could treat it this way.

While it was a good letter, it lacked any viable solutions for Central's funding problems or the plight of the "super chimps." I would like to provide some thor oughly researched ideas for the chimp house and upcoming budget crunch. 10.

Slade Gorton Every year, Americans send mil lions of their hard-earned dollars through the front doors of hospi tals, clinics and doctors' offices, only to see this money disappear through the back door. Medical fraud and abuse is a grow ing problem within the health care system, currently accounting for 5 to 10 percent of our total health care costs. This represents more than $300 for every man, woman and child in America. If we hope to enact meaningful and effective health care reform, we need to close the door on health care fraud. Medical fraud involves deliberate attempts to bill insurers for unnec essary services or services that were not provided. This fraud and abuse increases the cost and lowers the quality of health care for everyone. Employers pass increased insur ance costs onto consumers through higher prices. Employees' insur ance premiums increase while health benefits and wages decline. Fraud ranges from simple bill- padding schemes to elaborate "car tel" operations involving dozens— and even hundreds—of individu als. The most common type of fraud involves false claims in which a health care provider submits aclaim for medical services the patient never received. Other fraud cases include pharmacists selling patients generic drugs but charging name- brand prices and medical supply films delivering equipment that was never ordered. Hie majority of physicians, hos pitals and other health care provid ers—who do not participate in such fraud—also fall victim to the few who do participate in fraud schemes. The scope and complexity of medical fraud is limited only by the imagination of those that intention ally engage in these schemes. For example, somedict clinics promise "miracle cures" while billing in- surance companies for routine tests. Some psychiatric group therapy sessions include trips to shopping malls. Some doctors performing "wave therapy" walk by their patients, wave and then bill the patient's insurance company for the therapy provided. Among the worst examples of fraud has included the scams on senior citizens who arc often tar geted for "rolling schemes," in which operators advertise for free medical testing and screening. Dur ing the visit, the operators obtain Medicaid and insurance informa tion and then submit fraudulent claims for procedures that were never provided. In one of the largest scams, two brothers established a chain of mobile clinics across southern Cali fornia. The brothers and their ac complices filed $1 billion in false claims, and collected more than $50 million from government and private insurers. Fraud swindles legitimate pa tients, generates bad publicity and contributes to medical inflation. Unfortunately, within the. current health care system, criminal pros ecution of medical fraud cases is often difficult, and the chances of recovering financial losses are mini mal. Working together, I believe we can shut down many of these health care scams. Vigilant and well-in- formed consumers can spot and prevent fraud. Some tips can help: avoid giving important information such as So cial Security, insurance policy or Medicare numbers to phone solici • Slade Gorton is a Republican senator for Washington state. chimps of Central as they lead us into the 21st century. 4 Rich Kemp See LETTERS/page7 tors claiming free services care fully review all medical bills to identify any discrepancies and confirm that physicians, nursing homes and hospitals are properly certified or accredited. Tougher enforcement of existing anti-fraud laws, pooling informa tion on fraudulent activities and encouraging health care providers to police themselves through "whistle-Wowing" laws are poten tial solutions to the problem of health care fraud. While some of the problems in our health care system may be dif ficult to solve, I believe that we will be able to stop fraud and abuse from draining billions of dollars from our health care system. The Observer Thursday, January 13,1994 Page 7 OP-ED Answer people find many theories, » * — • no concrete answers to queries by Joe Butler and Dave Phillips Q. Dear Answer People: I was watching TV one night, andsaw an advertisement for the Ronco Gar den Weasel™. It advertised the tool could be used the basic way, plus the four pieces could come apart and be used five more ways. But in the commercial, it only showed four ways. It looks like there are four tools on the Wea sel™. So, Answer People, what is the last tool? I need to know. -Amy R. A. Good question, Amy. That got us thinking, too. We came up with three theories. See which one you like best. •The fifth attachment is the handle itself. It can come apart and you can hit mice with it. •The fifth attachment is the whole mental concept of possessing the Garden Weasel™, and the psycho logical satisfaction of having such a cool tool . •There is no fifth attachment. You are obviously more intelligent than most of the late night viewing audi ence who couldn't even bother to count the number of attachments. What kind of a sucker would buy one of those things anyway? Our team of experts did call the handy 800-number on the screen, and talked to an operator standing by. We asked her this question. It seemed like answer number three was the closest to the truth. We hope this helps. Q. Hey, Answer guys, where is the center of Washington state ? -Joe F. A. There are several answers to this, depending on how you define "center." If one were to draw an 'X' through a state map, the center would be somewhere between Cashmere and Wenatchee. If one were to draw, a '+' through the state, it would be bet ween Roslyn and Wenatchee. However, some wise guy in the Samuelson Union Building said it's located in the bushes by Shaw-Smyser.

They are indeed "of no interest"—teachers don't need to know anything about the world— and all we get from them are bad grades! Who needs them? Besides, if I learn all that other stuff, I might start to question what Mommy and Daddy told me. And then I might even start to read all those terrible books that thank God some right-minded people have gotten removed from the school libraries! Taking other classes isn't just no fun, it's dangerous! If they really want us to have good grades and stuff they should let us take only education courses. Just because I'm going to be a teacher doesn't mean I have to think! And while you're at it, please get rid of that nasty, awful test we have to take to get into the education program.

The sky outside remains dark and cloudy, but the student doesn't notice, because he's too busy try ing to read 100 pages for the next day. This student suffers from stress, a syndrome every person probably deals with sooner or later. Signs of stress include everything from general irritability to high pitched nervous laughter to impul sive behavior and emotional insta bility, according to a page excerpt from The Stress of Life, by Hans Selye, M.D. Additional signs of stress include pain in the lower back or neck and insomnia. Accident proneness, nightmares and sweating are other signs of stress, as well as pounding of the heart and indigestion. Constant sighing is how Pat Cole, a counselor at Central's Health and Counseling Center, knows she's under stress. "I sigh a lot," said Pat Cole, "My conversation doesn't flow as eas ily as itshould. "I feel like my head is in a fog, like there's a cloud around it." Other signs of stress include acci dent proneness, indigestion or nightmares, according to the page excerpt. Another sign of stress could be hyperactivity, as Kerry Kaopuiki, 20, early-childhood education, ex hibits. v "I freak out really, really bad," llilti Freshman Adam Eldridge displays a classic stressed out expression as he attempts to operate a camera. Kaopuiki said. "I feel like I'm bouncing off the walls or some thing. "There's too much work and not enough time." As Kaopuiki and Cole show, stress is an afflicition that can interfere with a person's life. How ever, there are solutions available. Some remedies include cutting down on the number of stressful events encountered, such as the number of accepted responsibili ties, Cole said. Getting adequate sleep, eating well and exercising also help, as well as yoga and meditation, which take stress off the body. Allowing one's self to express emotions also helps, Cole said. "We maintain a much healthier system if we accept our emotions as normal, and allow free expres sion of them." However, Cole said expression of emotions must be done in a respon sible way. She gave an example of someone experiencing anger who might get rid of this emotion by beating up another person. This would not be considered re sponsible behavior, Cole said. Other ways of dealing with stress include noticing responses to cer tain people and situations, accord ing to the WestOne Bancorp.Adapt- ing to Stress booklet.. "Given that 'unfriendly' people, waiting lines, disappointments, flat tires, unrealistic deadlines, acci dents, and a myriad of other 'prob lems are a part of daily living, it makes sense to learn how to react to them in such a way that our inner Peace and Poise are ruffled as in frequently as possible," the book let said. "We have it in our power to react to any situation with positive, con structive, loving thoughts, or to re act with negative, destructive, hos tile thinking. "We can choose to let something 'bug' us, or we can choose to let go of it." Self-talk plays an important role in this change of attitude. The booklet gave an example of two people, Mr. A and Mr. B, who were both late for an important appointment due to a traffic jam. Mr. A's self talk included the fol lowing: "I can't believe it! I've got to make this appointment or I'll be fired! "And what with the new house and car payments... I might as well be dead!" Mr. B's self talk included the fol lowing: Biking leads student to Belgium and road racing by Diane M. Schuirman Editor-in-chief Scott Johnston was inspired in 1989 when an American won the Tour de France. That inspiration carried him to Belgium, where he currently is participating in a student exchange at the Catholic University of Leuven in Leuven, Belgium, located near Brussels. "I saw the race, and the next day, I bought a racing bike," said Johnston, a senior public relations major. "I didn't know a thing about racing, but I just went to the bike shop, and they put me in touch with a cycling group. "When I started riding with them, I couldn't even keep up, but I just kept riding, and I got better." Now he has been road racing for four years, a sport much bigger in Europe than in the United States. Road racing is a distance sport. In the United States, races are 10-15 miles long, but in Europe, they are 50-80 miles long. '•Z'-y//-. Diane Schuirman/The Observer Scott Johnston "It's harder in Europe," Johnston said. It was road racing's European popularity that sparked Johnston's desire to go to Europe. "I always considered it some thing I would do after I finished school, but when I came to Central in 1992,1 met someone who worked at the International Programs office, and I was encouraged to apply for an exchange program," he said. Johnston chose Belgium because English is spoken there. Four months into his exchange, he describes it as enlightening. "I'm seeing the world as the world," he said. "It's more than just North America. It's a big world. "I've done a lot of traveling in the last four months, and the" European countries are all so close together, yet their cultures are very different. "It's not like in the United States where it's one huge country. "Here, if you go to Florida the culture is still basically the same. "There, if you travel 10 miles, you're in a different culture." Even within Belgium, there are differences. "In the northern part, Dutch is spoken, and in the southern part, French is spoken," Johnston said. "English is widely spoken too, but mostly younger people know it. It's strange to find that much See BELGIUM/page 14 "Oh no! Everyone is going to be furious if I show up late! "I'll just have to explain that I planned my time very carefully, but was hopelessly caught in this traffic. "I'm sure they'll understand if they don't, well—I did my best." As the situation progressed, Mr. A became more and more upset about the traffic jam, while Mr. B remained calm. "Getting upset won't get me there any faster," Mr. B said. As a result of their individual atti tudes, Mr. A arrived at his appoint ment unprepared and frustrated, while Mr. B arrived relatively re laxed. According to the booklet, posi tive self-talk, such as concentrat ing on positive aspects of life rather than negative ones, helps reduce stress. Action also helps. For example, if students worry about a loved one's health or a major term paper, they can take action by sending a card to the loved one, and by getting help with the term paper. These actions might reduce the worry connected with these events and might also reduce the stress resulting from that worry, the book let said. "To reduce stress, we can only reduce things that are under our control,and just cope with the rest," Cole said. Coping techniques include not only positive self-talk and action, but also talking to a trusted friend or colleague about the stress. Other options include counsel ing, writing in a diary or log, hug ging a willing participant or com munity stress workshops, spon sored by the YMCA/YWGA. Brian Gill/The Observer Amy Alpine makes Central students laugh in this irreverent comedy performance. For story, see page 11. The Observer COMEDY REVIEW: From photo on page 10 by David Scott Seay Staff reporter Central's on-campus nightclub laughed its way into the new year with the irrever ent comedy of Chris and Amy Alpine Jan. 7. The Seattle co-hosts of Seattle television KTZZ's "Standing Room Only" packed the nightclub to beyond capacity, forcing some students to remain standing for the entire 90 minute perfor mance. It was worth it. Amy's opening routine instantly established a rapport with the audience and quickly filled the room with laughter. Her sarcastic but witty comments on the nature of men and women, many about her husband, Chris, kept the audience entertained. Then Chris stepped up to the microphone and the laughter never stopped. His comedy routine ran from one amusing comment to another, leaving the audience just enough time to catch its breath before the next joke. The ten-year comedy veteran amused and abused the audience by making fun of students and their majors, keeping the routine spontane ous. For instance, he teased geography majors in the back of the room by asking them if they knew where they were. The evening was worth the 75 cents admission, (50 cents if you brought a friend). Jeff Tate, 24, elementary education, proclaimed it "a good change from the Ellensburg bar scene." Central's nightclub also provides entertainment with Papa John's performances on Wednesday nights and will be open for line dancing on Jan. 22. Thiursday, January 13, 1994 Page 11 Avalanche safety: This basic knowledge might keep you alive A lone skier glides along a sunny slope, never suspecting his^e^ movement can cause an avalanche. Avalanches can happen anytime there is a significant amount of new snow, a recent report said. High hazard areas are typi cally steep rocky slopes, and anywhere along the mid-slope, according to the report. The safest routes include traveling on ridgetops slightly on the windward side, which is the side the wind blows from. The report also said to stay away from overhanging masses of snow and ice. Many sports, such as running snowmobiles, gliding on skis, or walking on snow shoes can all trigger an avalanche. According to the report, the best way to avoid avalanches is to know when and how they occur, and stay out of the way. Central graduate students wed at Husky game by Diane Schuirman Editor-in-chief If all started more than five years ago with a personals ad in the Willamette Weekly ending "No religious fanatics. Elvis worship pers OK." That's how Patrick and Noreen Ryckman met. They were married Dec. 20, 1993, during hall-time of the Washington vs. Cincinnati women's basketball game at Hec Edmunson Pavilion in Seattle. The Ryckmans, both Central graduate students working on their education certification, said they wanted an alternative to the tradi tional church wedding. "My first choice was to be mar ried at a go-cart track with bullhorns across the track, but that had been done," Patrick said. One other obstacle limited these twoavid women'sbasketball fans. "We wanted a December wed ding, but the first weekend that month was the one before finals, the next was the one after finals, and the last two were Christmas and New Year's," Noreen said. "That left only Dec. 20, and we sSSSs Wed at a Husky game during pose for the camera. half-time, Central students Noreen and Patrick Ryckman already had tickets to the game." Patrick said, "We figured, 'Why waste good tickets?'" So Noreen called the pavilion and asked if they could be married dur ing half-time. It was pretty easy," she said. "They had to check with a few people, and they wanted to know if it would be a religious wedding, but there was really no problem." Patrick said, "It was run just like any other half-time show. Our im mediate families sat on the Husky bench, and the fans really got into it. "That's what was most surpris ing. Usually the crowd gets a hot dog or goes to the bathroom, but everyone stayed in the stands, and when Noreen came out in her wedding dress they were on their feet cheering. "People really went out of their way for us. "We've received videos, photos, all kinds of stuff. People are still coming up to us saying, 'Aren't you the ones who got married at the game?'" Aside from when and where they were married, the Ryckmans de scribe their wedding as "pretty nor mal." Noreen wore her mother's wed ding dress, and Patrick wore a tux edo for the second time in his life A judge performed the ceremony How did their parents feel abou a half-time wedding? "My mother had been wanting me to get married for a long time so she was just happy we were doing it," Patrick said. "She didn't care where." Noreen's parents had a few reservations, but they didn't interfere with the arrangements, she said. "Once they saw how well received it was, then it was fine. Nnrpp.n sniH Castrn/.

A stranger leaned his head on my shoulder. I dealt with the massive throes of over a million people in confined spaces. These are just some of the expe riences I had while traveling to Disneyland over winter break with my family. As my family and I forged for ward into Disneyland, the mas sive crowds forced us to cling to each other's coats to avoid sepa ration. After our first day in this fantasy land, we learned that survival de pended on having a superb sense of humor. V/ss/.-a For example, one night our group decided to dine in Goofy's Kitchen with the Disneyland characters. We met Tigger, who pretended to pick nits out of my hair. When I loudly proclaimed, "I DON'T HAVE NITS!" he jumped back in shock. However, he recov ered quickly by trying to eat my family's food. After meeting Tigger, my family and I were in a happy-go-lucky HEY! If you're gonna do it naked, don't be fully exposed!! Wear a Condom! and eauty Troftssmd^lm ^Designers mood, until we received the bill for dinner. It was over $75 for the four of us eating buffet. We de cided Goofy's Kitchen was a good one-time experience, but we would not return. Another example of using one's sense of humor in Disneyland was when we decided to see Disneyland's shortened version of the movie "Beauty and the Beast" At "Beauty and the Beast," a family was sitting behind us with many small children. One particular small boy kept yelling that he couldn't see. He scrambled for many different positions, until Mom and I, who were sitting shoulder to shoulder, found his head perched on top of our shoulders. I looked down to see a gentle, unassuming face with huge, brown eyes. January Perm ^ Special: 10% OFF ALL PERMS He reminded me of a child on those save the third-world chil dren commercials. Mom chatted with him for a while, until he decided he could find better vintage places else where. Although I enjoyed Disneyland, the real fun came when we headed home. We were overhead Port land at 11:59 p.m. on New Year's Eve. Our pilot had announced previ ously that his name was Fred Flintstone, and his first in com mand was Barney Rubble. The stewardesses were his wife, ex- wife, and mistress. Fred began the New Year's countdown at 45 seconds, while everyone else joined in somewhere around 15 seconds. When New Year's Eve came, we threw confetti and drank cham pagne. I came off the plane looking like a reject from "Animal House." The most valuable lesson I learned on vacation was to slow down and enjoy everything. I took time to be by myself, away from my family, and I also tried to keep myself well-fed. I didn't rush, and I feel I had a much better time because of this phi losophy.

With hot shooting on the offen sive end and a relentless defense they did just that, blowing away the Saints96-69last Saturday night at Nicholson Pavilion . Head Coach Gil Coleman at tributed the blowout to playing hard the whole game. "I think the biggest key was we playedhardfor 40 minutes. Against Seattle we played hard for about 25 or 30 minutes," Coleman said. Junior guard Chico King said,"We came together out there today. We played a lot more as a team than we did against Seattle." For the game the Wildcats shot S3 percent from the field and 39 percent from beyond the three-point line. In the meantime they held the Saints to 36 piercent from the field. St Martin's only suited up seven players for the game doe to player suspensions, injuries and academic ineligibility. Ryan Pepper and Willie Tho mas led Central with 19 points apiece. Bryan Silver added 14. St. Martin's Cliijt Bailey led all sew ers with 21 points. Central out-rebounded St. Martin's by a47-34margin, led by the eight rebounds of Jeff Lewis. Redd Pepper had seven rebounds and nine points. The Wildcats, who only trailed once in the ballgame, pulled away in the second half with a 21-9 run making the score 67-43. A full- court press which turned up the tempo of the game was the key. "I think it's (the up-tempo style) something we'll probably do a bit more of," Coleman said. The full- court press caused 23 Saint turn overs and the Wildcats stole the ball six times. Central led at halftime 45-32, shooting a red-hot 56 percent from the field in the first half. The 96 points is their highest output of the season so far. With the win, Central improved itsrecordto four wins and 10 losses, 1-1 in league. However, many of those losses have come against NCAA foes, including a setback to NCAA Division I team Weber State. "I think we're a little bit better than a 4-10 team. Realistically we should be about 7-7, we lost a couple at the beginning of the year," Coleman said. "Tonight was Only the second time this year we've had all 11 guys ready to go," he added. Next up for the Wildcats is a trip to Hawaii where they will face two opponents. Tomorrow they take on the University of Brigham Young at Hawaii and face off with Hawaii Pacific Sunday. Then the Wildcats will return home, hosting Simon Fraser Jan. 20. "I guess one of the teams we will be playing is in our division so it would be good to come away with a couple of wins," King said. The early-season schedule, which has seen Central travel to Utah, Las Vegas and now Hawaii, could serve as a measuring stick for the Wildcats. "I think in the long run, if we get this thing turned around, it (the early-season schedule) will be a benefit because we've faced a lot of adversity and teams who faced a lot of adversity usually do well come playoff time," Coleman said. "They (the long road trips) helped us out a lot They brought us together as a team," King said. After losing the first seven games, Central has won four of their last seven and is gearing up for the league schedule.

Davis qualifies for nationals Women sweep Linfield, Lewis and Clark College men gain split by Paul Williams Sports Editor The Central men's and women's swim teams took on Linfield and Lewis and Clark Col lege Friday and Saturday. Led by Carianne Davis, the women won both meets while the men broke even, defeating Lewis and Clark but losing to Linfield. "I was pretty pleased with how they swam. It was a good meet for us," Head Coach Lori Clark said. Davis qualified for nationals in two events, the 200 and the 500- meter freestyle as the women's team took home seven first-place finishes. Julie Johnson (1000-meter freestyle), Leah Gilland (200-meter individual medley), Annette Har ris (100-meter butterfly) and Lisa Haley (100-meter freestyle) all took first in their respective events. The men were led by Jon Stemp and Kris Kluthe. Stemp swam to a victory in the 500-meter freestyle and finished second in the 200- meter freestyle with an impressive time of 1:49.13, "For Jon to swim under 1:50 at this point in the season is pretty good," Clark said. Kluthe took first in the 100- meter breasts troke with a time of 1:04.60 "The distance swimmers swam teal well which was nice. Both Linfield and Lewis and Clark have beaten us in districts and nationals the last two years and to be close to them is encouraging," Clark said. "Carianne Davis had n real good meet. She had some really good times. Jon Stemp also did well," Clark said. "I have a good feeling that we are on the right track," Clark said. The swim teams will have some time off before their next meet They will host the Central Quadrangular at 4 p.m. Jan. 21 at the pool.

LastThurs- day the Wildcats hosted perrenial power Southern Oregon in a dual- meet and traveled last Saturday to Tacoma to wrestle in the PLU Invitational. Despite losing the dual meet andonlyhavingthieepeopleplace at the invitational, two more wres tlers qualified for nationals. Chad Requa, who wrestles in the 129- poundclass alongwith Jason Vose (190) qualified by placing high enough at the meet This brings the total of Central wrestlers bound for nationals to three, with 177-pounder Erik McDowell hav ing already qualified earlier in the season. The dual meet against South ern Oregon started off very prom ising. The score after the 158- pound match stood at nine apiece. However, Southern Oregon, by virtue of two majority decisions and injury defaults brought the score to 24-9. " I expect them (Southern Or egon) to be in the top three as a team in the nation,** said Assis tant Coach Eric Idler. Hie meet started off with a great match at 118 pounds be tween Jason Barii and Southern Oregon's Jon Thomas. The match wasn't decided until overtime when Thomas scored a two-point takedown to win 6-4. "The 118-pound match, which we could have very easily won, we lost to that guy 7-2 last time we wrestled them," Idler said. Requa made short work of his opponent in the 126-pound match. He won by pinfall with 25 seconds to go in the first round. "He had his head underneath my right arm and I ducked under his right arm and doubled up on the leg and turned him over," Requa said. *'I didn't expect it to be a fall so that was a great plus for us," Idler said. An ankle injury hampered Joe Knox's effort in the 134-pound match as he was on the short end of a 5-4 score. - "I think he out-wrestled the guy but it didn't show up on the scorecard," Idler said. Brett Lucas, despite a bad right knee, dominated his match at 142- pounds. The junior from Spokane won by a 10-3 count. 'They had a different guy in there than I expected at 142, butBrettLucas did a great job to beat him" Idler said. The highlight of the meet was the matchup at the 150-pound weight class. Central's Jason Stevenson, who has more wins than any other Central wrestler, faced Southern Oregon's Matt McDowell. McDowell is the defending national champion at 150 pounds in NAIA division n and he showed why with a 10-4 decision. "Jason wrestled a great match but just got overpowered. He's going to be a 142-pounder so he's a little bit smaller to begin with," Idler said. From there it was all Southern Oregon as they won the remainder of the matches^rik McDowell's match was cut short when he re-injured a knee.Ittumedouttobeabruisebuthe was held out of the invitational for precautionary reasons. "The tournament at PLU has al ways been a very tough one. It's usu ally one of the toughest tournaments wehaveall year,"Idler saidlastThurs- day. "We wrestled very tough tonight and if we can wrestle as tough Saturday as we did today, I think we can come out with quite a few place-winners," Idler said. In the tournament Requa won his weight class, pinning his op ponent just 43 seconds left in the first round in the finals. At 142 pounds, Stevenson placed third and at 190 pounds, Vose and Andy Boe placed third and fourth respectively. Vose earned a trip to nationals because a junior-college wrestler placed first In each weight division the top two wrestlers from four-year schools qualified for nationals. Those weren't the only great performances of the day. "Buril at 118 had a good performance, but lost some really tight matches and at 148 Adam Scanlan wrestled tough. He wrestled a lot better Sat urday," Idler said. This Saturday they travel to Clackamas, Oregon for the Clackamas Invitational. "I can see the places they have needed woifc and they are making improvements in those areas. If they keep improving they should do well come districts and nationals," Idler said.

Both games woe played last weekend at Nicholson Pavilion. Both Seattle University and Whitman College shot over SO per cent from the field. " I think defensively we have some work to do. We didn't play defense with the intensity that it takes to win ballgames," Head Coach Nancy Katzer said. Last Saturday the Wildcats faced an All-American in Seattle's LaShanna White. The 6-2 center posed some problems for Central. "We double-teamed LaShanna White, that woiked pretty well for us until their perimeter opened up and then we had some problems,"' Katzer said. But the strategy helped keep Central close in Saturday's con test Alayup by Tiffany Rutter gave Central a 15-14 edge with 11:23 left in the first half. The double- teaming held White to eight points at half as Central trailed 36-29. Seattle University took the lead back with 6:16 to go in the first half and led the rest of the game. The second half saw the Wild cats' post players get into foul trouble and allowed the Chieftans to pull away. The biggest lead by the Chieftans was 21 points with a littlemore than a minute remaining in the game. White led all scorers with 17 points.

Seattle had their way with the Wildcats on the boards, out-re bounding them 39-27 and 17-7 on offensive rebounds. White had 13 rebounds to lead Seattle and Yount had six to lead Central. Sunday afternoon the Wildcats were faced with a problem. Whitman had a good post player in 6-3 Jennifer McCiure and potent outside shooters. "We had to play straight man- to-man because you can't play a zone against this team, they shoot too well from the perimeter," Katzer said. Whitman proved Katzer right as they shot 61 percent from the field in the first half to take a43-33 lead. They shot ah amazing 75 per cent from three-point range as wdL The inside-outside combination of McCiure (six-for-six from the field for 14 points) and Kristi Lampe (four-for-four from the field, nine points) led Whitman. An 18-6 run by Whitman turned a three-point lead into a 15-point cushion. The lead grew to 15 in the sec ond half before the Wildcats mounted a charge of their own, cutting the lead to seven with 5:52 to play. But that was as close as the Wildcats came. Yount led Central with 16 points including two three-pointers. Shannan Sherrill added 14 and Fitzjarrald had 10. McCiure led all scorers with 26 points and Lampe had 20 for Whitman. Whitman shot 80 percent (fcMir for five) from three- point range in the game. Central did out-rebound Whitman 32-30 despite Whitman having a big height advantage. Sherrill and Younthad seven boards to lead the Wildcats. McCiure led Whitman with eight Whitman went to the free-throw line 22 times, making 16, com pared to just seven trips to the stripe forCentral. Katzer commended the play of postplayers Fitzjarrald and Sherrill and said "Karla Hawes played in tense and Kristi Payne takes care of the ball for us. She does a good job," Katzer said. "Offensively we are starting to come around. We're running an offense instead of just playing rat- ball so I'm pleased about that," said Katzer. Next up forCentral was a home game against the University of Puget Sound yesterday. Results were unavailable at press time. UPS is a tough team. They have a real good post player," Katzer said.
