The nightclub, located in the SUB south cafeteria, is a student-run or­ ganization aimed at providing en­ tertainment for the under-21 crowd, said Brian Dolman, chair of the Student Affairs resource sharing team. This Friday night the nightclub will be open as a regular dance club and will charge a $2 cover charge. The charge is to pay the nightclub's overhead costs for stu­ dent jobs, a disc jockey and any food expenses, said Dolman, a jun­ ior, who replaced former chair Dann Sheridan. Sheridan left Central at the end of fall quarter. Saturday night, The Sun Country Shufflers will be providing a disc jockey to teach country line danc­ ing. - The nightclub does not have a name yet, said Dolman, but a search is currently underway. Ballots are available in a box near the SUB Information Booth. The person with the winning en­ try receives a VTP pass, which al­ lows free admission to the night­ club for a year, Dolman said. Surveys are also going to be taken periodically to ensure students needs are being met, Dolman said. "Most music programming will be by students, hopefully," Dol­ man said. The Sun Country Shufflers are being contracted by the nightclub to teach line dancing this weekend only. Interviews are underway for a permanent disc jockey, Dolman said. Auditions will be scheduled for Saturday nights. So far, the 21-member nightclub committee has created four student positions for the nightclub: a pro­ gram manager, two security posi­ tions and a cashier. The program manager will be in charge of planning events, the se­ curity people will also set up and tear down equipment and the cash­ ier will take money and tickets at the door, along with balancing the nightclub accounts, Dolman said. The money used to pay staff will come from already appropriated funds and a portion of cover charges, Dolman said. Descriptions and information on these positions are posted in the SUB.

Athlete by Joe Butler News editor A Kittitas County Superior Court j ury found a Central football player not guilty last Thursday of rape of a child in the third degree. The jury, composed of seven women and five men, acquitted Cassk 'Cash' Thomas Jan. 13 after deliberating for more than four hours. The trial began Jan. 11. Judge Michael Cooper presided. Thomas, 22, was arrested and of rape charges charged in February 1993 with third-degree rape of a child, a felony, for having sexual inter­ course with a 14-year-old girl. The incident also occurred in February 1993. According to Revised Code of Washington 9A.44.Q79, "a person is guilty (of rape of a child in the third degree) when the person has sexual intercourse with another who is at least 14 years old but less than 16 years old and not married to the perpetrator and isatleast 48 months older than the victim." Defenses for this charge include being able to prove that "at the time of the offense the defendant rea­ sonably believed the victim to be at least 16 years of age... based upon declarations as to age by the al­ leged victim," according to RCW 9A.44.030.

Rep. Jay Inslee, D-Wash., spoke at a town meeting at Cle Elum- Roslyn High School. People discussed welfare reform, health care reform, tax reform, gun control laws, and employment pros­ pects for the future with the fresh­ man congressman. "Our job is to make sure all citi­ zens are treated fairly," Inslee said. "I've concluded that the ultimate problem is out of wedlock preg­ nancies." Inslee blames unwanted pregnacies, which he said have in­ creased from 6 percent 25 years ago to 30 percent today, for abuses in the welfare system, a rising crime rate, a growing deficit and the over­ all breakdown of families. izmw • -'wmxiytmm mm Gregg Roulst/The Observer United States Congressman Jay Inslee (D-Wash.) addresses Central student Mike Mosey's question about the need for welfare reform last Thursday evening. "We need to find out how to change this problem," Inslee said. "Our leaders need to identify it, recognize there is a problem, and work to change it. "When this is done, we need to change our parental obligation, have parents teach discipline and self-respect. Then, government needs to take steps to make changes, such as welfare reforms. Finally, we can change the culture," Inslee said. Inslee, originally from Selah, sup­ ports President Bill Clinton's health care package. The package will es­ tablish a series of different medica groups in an area which people can choose to be covered under and eliminate much of the current bu­ reaucracy Inslee sees in medicine. "Twenty percent of all medical costs in America are administra­ tive—paper shifting," Inslee said. "Most other countries' (costs are) only 10 to 12 percent. This package aims to achieve lower costs." The package will provide univer­ sal health care to citizens and non- citizens, Inslee said. Many audience members were concerned about an increase in gun control legislation, including sev­ eral men who possessed guns which are now considered illegal. Inslee, who voted against the Brady Bill and supports instant computerchecks of prospective gun buyers, said present ownership will not be affected by the new federal law. He also described the current wel­ fare system as "woefully inad­ equate." Inslee believes many reforms can be accomplished at the federal level so the average taxpayer doesn't have to make many changes. Washington already has in place a system where an employer notifies See INSLEE/ page 3
Page 2 Thursday, January 20,1994 The Observer Students' eyes opened by Mission work in Guatem by Greg Afdaya Copy editor Imagine mixing 400 pounds of cement by hand, working 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., and watching a live volcano erupt before your eyes in a country filled with unfamiliar rules and regulations. A group of 21 people from Ellensburg, including two Central students, experienced these things on a Christian and Missionary Al­ liance Church mission trip to Gua­ temala City Dec. 10-19. The goal of the nine-day trip was to get as much building done as possible on a new school for the area's church, Jesus Viene (mean­ ing Jesus is Coming), said Tammy Trcit, a Central senior and econom­ ics major. The cutting and bending of rein­ forcement wire for the school frame was done at the 40 foot level, mostly without guard rails, said Drake Travis, associate pastor of the CMA church. Some of the group's experiences included seeing both a dead body and a live volcano erupting in their first 10 minutes in the country, Two students strain at lifting a piece of frame 40 feet above Guatemala City. Thomas' trial focuse* on knowledge of age From TRIAL/page 1 Travis said, "It was a rush," he said. Traffic laws in Guatemala were almost non-existent, he said. "There are two laws, don't hit anyone (while driving) and don't run into any pedestrians," he said. Pedestrians do not have right-of- way anywhere, he said. This rule was enforced on the group's first day in the city when they observed the body of an un­ lucky pedestrian lying in the road. tmn^1 :Xi* It was amazing what we did...The jobs * were really a kick. Drake Travis, pastor The team flagged down buses that I drove 75 mph downtown but only I cost 15 cents to ride. The trip also included a visit to | Antigua, a city several hundred years old situated at the base of a [volcano. They also had the chance to see Ian Atitlan mountain lake 5,000 feet high, and 1,300 foot deep, where they kayaked, snoikeled, and [swam. "We went swimming and tanning I in December," Sharon Graddon, a [senior and German major, said. Travis enjoyed the foreign expe- Irience. "It was weird to be swimming in a [big lake and hear Christmas music at the same time. That was confus­ ing for some people," he said. There was some concern about the danger of catching typhoid and cholera because the diseases were widespread in the country, Travis said. The group kept in close contact with the field director in Guate­ mala as to whether they should be vaccinated, and no one ever was afflicted, he said. The group's meals consisted of four- to five-course dinners pre­ pared by host families from the church, which were very elaborate, Travis said. 'They cooked all our meals: chicken, turkey, beef steak and fruit salads," he said. The group raised $22,000 to pay for plane tickets and construction materials before the trip. They picked up litter, managed a 25-family yard sale, did miscella­ neous yardwork, including housepainting, gardening and rak­ ing, repaired roofs, and demol­ ished part of a house. "It was amazing, what we did," Travis said 'The jobs were really a kick." Graddon said part of the money raised was used to pay for the21 workers, who helped cut the time to complete the project almost in half. The people in Guatemala were veiy motivated, Travis said, and will notneed any mission help after June 1995. His group was touched by how festive the Guatemalan church service was. "They celebrate God," he said. SALT Company will be giving a presentation about the trip tonight at7:30p.m. in theSamuelson Union Building south cafeteria. It will include a multi-media video soundtrack, featuring music by Michael W. Smith and The Cars. After the presentation, the group will also hold a brainstorming ses­ sion to discuss future missionary work. argued Thomas reasonably be­ lieved the girl when she told him she was 19 years old. Candance Hooper, a Kittitas County deputy prosecutor, represented the state and the girl, now 15 years old. She argued Thomas knew the girl's actual age before they had sex. A total of nine witnesses testified in the case, including Thomas and the girl. "It's not Thomas' judgment that is on trial, but whether or not he believed he was commit­ ting a crime," Stiley said. Thomas played starting outside linebacker for Central's football team last season, until Head Coach Jeff Zenisek suspended him and three other players Nov. 8. Thomas' suspension was based on his poor attitude along with missing several practices, and did not reflect any criminal charges, Zenisek said. Clark County authorities released Thomas Feb. 26,1993, after he posted $3,000 bail and agreed to not have any further contact with the girl. Between March 10 and Dec. 17,1993, Thomas' attorneys arranged several continuances to the rape trial. In one instance, the trial was postponed because a key witness for both the prosecution and the defense could not be located. She eventually was found in western Washington. Thomas also initiated a countersuit in April, 1993, to have some of the girl's testi­ mony suppressed. The suit was dropped this last Dec. 17. Thomas failed to show up for a hearing in December regarding the rape charge, and a bench warrant was issued for his arrest The warrant was dismissed, and Thomas was fined $1,000 for failure to appear. Last week's trial revealed one of the girl's friends introduced her to Thomas and his three roommates at the beginning of 1993. Hooper said the girl's sister warned her about the age difference between her and Thomas, and told her to stop associating with him. However, the trial showed Thomas and the girl became closer, and eventually had sexual intercourse around Feb. 20, 1993. Stiley argued Thomas and the girl had both been consuming alcohol, and the girl told Thomas she was 19 years old and had previous sexual experience. Once intercourse had begun, Thomas realized the girl's deception and stopped the act, Stiley said. The girl wrote a letter to a friend about her relationship with Thomas. The letter, which was introduced into evidence at the trial,..was allegedly intercepted by the girl's sister, who passed it on to her mother. The family argued loudly about the matter, and an Ellensburg police officer came to the scene to investigate a noise complaint. After the officer talked to the family, he began the investiga­ tion into the Thomas case, court records said. According to police records, the girl did not want to cooperate with them in making statements, and said she wanted to leave home. Stiley said her statements changed several times and her father pushed her to continue the case. News brief: Shaw-Smyser renovation nears completion # Though construction has encountered several delays, including a fire and last year's severe winter, the renovation of Shaw-Smyser Hall is set to be complete Feb. 4. The simultaneous renovation of Barge Hall contributed to delays in Shaw-Smyser's completion, said Leonard Lunz, foreman of the Gilbert H. Moen construction company. Both projects required a large amount of construction material in a limited space, he said. Shaw-Smyser will houseCentral's business, accounting and qp economics departments, along with classrooms and a computer laboratory. The hall will feature radially sloping walls, soft colors, columns that hide support beams and a floor providing access to circuitry. ^ 'AVA THE'ART AND SCIENCE :•': OF rU^E FLOWER AND PLANT ESSENCES ijkirCare * Skin Care • Colour Cosmetics rk\bc Recycle.

* The Observer Thursday, January 20,1994 Page 3 Alternative High School location Rack 6em up: alarms Student Village residents w&m, Immmmmrn Frazzini's opens under-21 pool hall -by Tim Yeadon Staff reporter Jason Carter/The Observer A petition is circulating on campus to remove an alternative high school from the Student Village recreation room and lounge. by Gregg Roulst Staff reporter Concerns over student safety and lack of facilities have driven Stu­ dent Village apartment residents to circulate a petition to remove the Ellensburg alternative high school from their apartment lounge and recreation room. The high school has been located in the lounge in the center of the 172-apartment complex for more than 10 years, and was established after Central made arrangements with the Ellensburg School District to exchange the lounge space for needed storage space. Alternative schools offer students who find a traditional high school setting difficult a second chance to complete their education. Some students attend the alter­ native school full-time and others attend regular high school classes in the morning, then come to the alternative school later in the day. Dave Hamilton, a law and justice major andStudentVillageresident, began the petition with other resi­ dents last quarter. The completed petition will be delivered to Central President Ivory V. Nelson at the end of winter quarter, Hamilton said. About 100 signatures have been gathered so far, Hamilton said. He does not disagree with alter­ native education, but does object to being denied access to the lounge area and is equally concerned with the personal safety of apartment residents. Kim Johnston, a senior and Stu­ dent Village resident, said,"I thought I was out of line, but I started talking to people and found out I'm not the only one who wants to use the lounge. All the dorms have them." Pedro Bicchieri, a teacher at the alternative school, also has con­ cerns about safety: the protection of his students from Central stu­ dents, he said. "I think there's a misconception on the part of Central students as to what kind of kids and program we have, but, to tell the truth, I'd like to see the school moved to its own facility so we don't feel like we're in a borrowed building," Bicchieri said. In the 10 years the school has been in its present location, no Central student has ever been hurt by an alternative school student, he said. Alternative school students also have things to fear from Central students, he said, specifically re­ ferring to two alleged rapes by Central students this year. Keith Tolzin, superintendent of theEllensburg School District,said, "We will work with [Central's]. ad- ministration ifthey want us to leave. There's no space right now, but we will work with the school.The school won't be closed because too many kids would lose an educa­ tion." Hamilton said, "Placing a school for troubled children in the middle of a residential complex shows a great lack of concern for the resi­ dents by the school and the admin­ istration," he said. All the schools in the Ellensburg School District are in residential areas, Tolzin said, According to Public Safety and Police Services records, there have been two incidents in the past year involving alternative school stu­ dents possessing guns on campus. In the first incident, the gun turned out to be a cigarette lighter resem­ bling a small handgun. The second incident occurred in September when a teacher confis­ cated a stolen handgun from an alternative school student Police arrested the student and later charged him with possession of a dangerous weapon and posses­ sion of stolen property. There have alsobeen two other stolen property incidents involving alternative school students, police records show. Steve Rittereiser, chief of Public Safety and Police Services, is concerned about the location of the alternative school and voiced his concerns taRob Chrisler, director of Auxiliary Services. Chrisler also has concerns about the school, but is unsure of how to make any change. "I can understand why Chief Rittereiser is concerned, but the alternative school has a legal con­ tract, and nothing could be done until there's some kind of a break in it," Chrisler said. . "If students are concerned, of course we're going to stop and look at the situation," he said: Kristi Barries, a Student Village resident, said she has been sexually harassed by alternative school stu­ dents while sun bathing in the area of the apartments. "I want to say I did not enjoy their adolescent comments directed at me while tanning, or their childish behavior," she said. Public Safety and Police Services has not received any complaints from students concerning sexual harassment and students from the alternative school. Perry Rowe, assistant director of Housing Services, said the Student Village lounge can be made avail­ able to students who makeappoint- ments at least 48 hours in advance. Several dances have been held for Central students in the lounge in the past, Rowe said. In an effort to curb loitering by juveniles on Eighth Avenue, the owners of Frazzini's Pizza Place have opened a billiards and game hall in the Plaza. Korner Pocket, located three doors down from Frazzini's, offers pool tables, darts and video games, and is aimed at the under-21 crowd and older people who may not want the bar scene in town. "We get middle-schoolers, high-schoolers, and college students in here," said Mike Jones, who owns Frazzini's with his wife, Kathy. "For the younger crowd, we're basically here to give the kids a place to go," Jones said. "Korner Pocket keeps them off the street and out of trouble. And as long as we can keep control, we'll keep this place open," he said. LeeAndress, owner of , Shapiro's, has a son who is a junior at Ellensburg High School and agrees with Jones. "My son and his friends just needed a place to visit and be safe after school. Other than our house there was no other place to go in Ellensburg," Andress said. Jones has warned juveniles loitering in the parking lot he will close Korner Pocket if he gets complaints from neighboring businesses. "We see the kids in the lot at night and it is an intimidating scene for families who would otherwise come into Frazzini's," Jones said. "So we bring the kids inside and let them do some­ thing." Alternate Channels video store formerly occupied the corner property, but they moved to the former Sweet Shoppe location fall quarter. The Jones' found out about the vacancy, contacted the landlord, and were allowed to lease the property. Korner Pocket patrons must obey three rules: no swearing, underage smoking or loitering in the parking lot. "If they live by those rules, they'll be happy," Jones said. Jones is considering renting the place out for private parties. "If everybody is over 21, we're willing to lock the door and bring a keg inside," Jones said. It costs $150 to rent Korner Pocket for a night, he said. Korner Pocket is open every day. It closes at midnight weekdays and 1 a.m. weekends. Inslee: Congress needs From INSLEE/ page 1 the state of all new employees, and allows the state to see for deliquency on alimony or child- support payments, he said. 'We need to get much more ag­ gressive on child support delin­ quency," Inslee said. He also talked about how tax reform is necessary, and encour­ aged Washington to change from paying property tax to a state in­ come tax. Last year Inslee co-sponsored the Cooper-Grady Bill, which would cut the Congressional budget. This bill failed. While campaigning in the last election, Inslee held a similar town meeting at the same high school. Then, he said deficit reduction would be his top priority if elected. Inslee still considers it high on his list, he said. Congress should lead by example, he said, and described how he re­ duced the size of his office staff and budget Inslee has discovered two roads in Congress, he said. The first road, he said, is the most difficult of the two, and requires sometimes doing unpopular things to one's constituents, butwill ben­ efit America's economy in theend. "The other is to vote 'no' on anything which could prove fi­ nancially difficult," Inslee said. "This road is very attractive to many in Congress." "I prefer the first road, because my predecessors left me a $20 billion deficit, and my kids and I have to deal with it." r* Feb. 21 .piling Rock 22 oz. tlROL Schmidt Full case S7 I 22 Soup Save 50tf , Hotdogs • Pop Expires 1-27-94 Mx.

Page 4 Thursday, January 20,1994 The Observer Stop that pigeon:Feds to remove dangerous birds by Tim Yaedon Staff reporter Woody Allen once described feral pigeons as "rats with wings," and apparently Central shares his definition following a decision in December to elimi­ nate as many of the disease- bearing birds as possible. In a joint effort with the City of Eilensburg started Dec. 20, Central contracted the United States Department of Agricul­ ture to eliminate the pigeons, which they consider to be nui­ sances and possible health haz­ ards. Jim Hollister, director of Hous­ ing Services, said Central has tried several measures in the past to get rid of the birds, mainly using live traps, but these have failed. "We've had complaints for years of there being too many pigeons around Eilensburg," Hollister said. 'The town, com­ munity andcampus finally came together (to address the prob­ lem)." The agriculture department's solution will include drugs, live traps and air guns to remove pigeons from theirroostsatMor- gan Middle School, Central and downtown area. Rob Chrisler, director of Aux­ iliary Services, said traditional live traps are not very effective. 'The birds feed at the stock­ yard on grain shaken out of hay used to feed the cattle, then come back to Central to roost,"Chrisler said."You can put food out in live traps, but they won't touch it." Gary Whitehead, the US DA agent in charge of the current program, said pigeon control has not been widely publicized on campus because many students may be pigeon friendly and do not approve of such actions. "The bottom line is.. .the reason the work is being done in the city is because of human health and safety," Whitehead said. Not enough people are aware of the potential health risks from pigeons, Whitehead said. While people are not in much danger of injury from a pigeon, he said pigeons have the potential to transmit more than 30 diseases to humans. Whitehead had a document which specifically said pigeon excrement contains several bacteria including yeast infections, chlamydia,jnen- ingitis, salmonella and e-coli. Transmission of these diseases happen when people breathe air­ borne spores from dried excrement. This can be dangerous in areas where pigeons roost and leave large amounts of excrement. While most contractible air-borne diseases are treatable, some may not be, Whitehead said. USDA employees wear special suits and respirators while working with the pigeons. In addition, they are re­ quired to have blood drawn every six months in aroutine health check. "I hope people realize just how dangerous this problem is." Whitehead said. "I don't think the majority of them were aware or realized the health hazards involved with these birds until the last six to 12 months." Whitehead did not have data on the number of pigeons already de­ stroyed here, but said the USDA's work is not done. He wants a year- round maintenance contract after the completion of this program. Three-day weekend brings mischief, mayhem and minors The previous three-day weekend was a busy one for campus police officers. Besides routine traffic violations and noise complaints, officers had many more cases. Saturday alone, they investigated 32 cases, including 28 counts of malicious mischief. Steve Rittereiser, chief of Public Safety and Police Services, said he and his officers had expected the weekend to be quiet. "Many students went home over Christmas break, so it was possible that more people stuck around on this holiday," Rittereiser said. "It seemed like there were more people on campus." • Wednesday night, officers arrived at Brooklane Village to investigate a domestic violence/ assault case. They determined a man, approximately 40 years old, assaulted a woman at the apart­ ment they shared. The man was taken into custody and booked into the Kittitas County Jail. • Friday night, there were three reports of burglary and theft in the Bassettis. Two people in Meisner Hall and a person in Sparks Hall reported money Campus Cops missing from their rooms. In all three cases, there were no signs of forced entry. The amount of money taken was $40, $26 and $6. Police have no suspects at this time. • Early Saturday morning, officers received a malicious mischief call from the J-8 parking lot, near Hertz Hall. They discovered damage to 28 cars parked in the overnight parking lot, including bent windshield wipers and antenna damage. Officers think the suspect(s) were on foot Damage to each car ranged from $10 to $100. The case is still being investi­ gated, and campus police would appreciate any information. • At 1:30 Sunday morning, an officer driving on 18th Avenue near Student Village observed a fight in progress. The officer noticed one person using a stick or a club in the fight.. When the officer approached, the people fighting ran away. The officer chasd theman with the club on foot, but he could not apprehend him. However, with the assistance of witnesses at the scene, officers were able to get apositive identification of the suspect. Charges are pending. • A 19-year-old man was cited with being a minor in posses­ sion of alcohol Friday night outside Stephens-Whitney Hall. Sunday morning, officers issued an alcohol violation/ MIP to a 20-year-old Barto Hall man.

From CLUB/ page 1 work-study students because he didn't want to discourage any in­ terested students from applying. More positions will be decided upon by the committee as needed, Dolman said. The nightclub will be open three nights a week—Friday, Saturday, and Wednesday, when it becomes Pappa John's, a jazz-style coffee­ house. Pappa John's, which previously was held weekly in the SUB pit, usually offers a live jazz act, along with espresso service and free ad­ mission. There will be some remodeling of the nightclub, such as permanent staging, and perhaps a change in decor (possibly neon), television monitors and mirrors, Dolman said. However, under the current agree­ ment with the SUB, much of the Buv a BRAVO EXPRESS PAGER m Headlamp Expires 1/31/94 original floor plan can not be changed. Every proposed change has to be approvedby the SUB Union Board, Dolman said. Purchases can take place over the course of the year. "I think the. nightclub will evolve into something and will have its own personality," Dolman said. The location of SALT Company, areligious club which meets Thurs­ day nights in the south cafeteria, will not be affected right away because the nightclub probably won't be in operation most Thurs­ days. Special events will definitely be given priority to the nightclub, Dolman said. He is currently looking for more students to join the nightclub com­ mittee, which meets weekly. Currently, the decision-making body consists of 18 students and three advisors: John Drinkwater and Scott Drummond from Student Ac­ tivities, and Jerry Findley, from University Recreation.

1 ] The Economics of the Citibank Classic Visa card. How no annual fee, student discounts and Price Protection create upward growth. A variety of factors have been suggested as contributing to the economic growth of students, including (1) more lottery winners between the ages of 18 and 22, (2) a 37% increase on earnings from bottle and can returns, (3) more students doubling earnings in the lightning round of game shows, and (4) the Citibank Classic Visa® card. It's this last one, however, that affects most students. H The Citibank Classic Visa card offers immediate savings to student cardmembers. You can now receive the Citibank Classic card with No Annual Fee. You can capitalize on a $20 Airfare Discount for domestic flights,' a low variable interest rate of 15.4%* as well as savings on mail order purchases, sports equipment, music and magazines. One might even have enough savings to reinvest in a CD or two (the musicaljkind, of course). H On the way to the record Hfishirtgton was unhappy because hefelthe could have received abetter store, or any store for that matter, take stock of the 3 services deal on war supplies. If he used a Citibank Classic Visa card, he would have been assured ofgetting the best price and probably would have been , . , , happier. (Artist's rendering ofhow he would have appeared on the dollar) COtlCemeQ With pUTChaSCS made On the Citibank Classic card. Citibank Price Protection assures one of the best prices. See the same item advertised in print for less, within 60 days, and Citibank will refund the difference up to $150? Buyers Security"" can cover these investments against accidental damage, fire or theft (ordinarily causes for Great Depressions) for 90 days from the date of purchase? And Citibank Lifetime Warranty" can extend the warranty for the expected service life of eligible products up to 12 years? f But perhaps the features which offer the best protection are your eyes, your nose, your mouth, etc.—all featured on The Photocard, the credit card with your photo on it. Carrying it can help prevent fraud or any hostile takeover of your card. (Insiders speculate that it makes quite a good student ID, too.) Even if one's card is stolen, or perhaps lost, The Lost Waller Service can replace your card usually within 24 hours. U So never panic. As we all know, panic, such as in the Great Panics of 1837,1857 and 1929 can cause a downswing in a market. But with 24-hour Customer Service, there's no reason for it. A question about your account is only an 800 number away. (Panic of the sort experienced the night before Finals is something else again.) H Needless to say, building a credit history with the support of such services can only be a boost. \bu're investing in futures-that future house, that future car, etc. And knowing the Citibank Classic Visa card is there in your wallet should presently give you a sense of security, rare in today's—how shall we say?-fickle market.

Factors leading up to trial don't disappear with verdict A a result of Central linebacker Cassk "Cash" Thomas' acquittal on charges of child rape last week, people will no longer find it necessary to place blame. They will no longer feel the need to say, "Those student athletes are all trouble," or "I should really watch my kids." Instead, athletes will magically be good guys again. People will say, "Those guys are all right," or "See, I told you he didn't do anything." Previous theories and fears will be forgotten. Thomas will not be held responsible for the events that landed him in court because he was acquitted, legally found not guilty. Legally told he didn't do anything wrong. If he didn't do anything wrong, he doesn't have anything to take responsibility for. He may be out a few thousand dollars in attorney's fees, court costs and bail money, but he can go on without the stain of this conviction on his record. He can hang out with the same people and go to the same parties. Justice was served in that the defense was able to place enough reasonable doubt in each juror's mind to make them question whether Thomas knew the girl's age. A jury has judged Thomas. That is its function and no one else's. It found him not guilty, and so he is. To take another view, the girl involved in this ease has lost nearly a year of her life to legal limbo at a time when she should be free to Ihink about homework, driver's permits, makeup, clothes and that crazy Blossom show. Instead she has lost her virginity, her very innocence, not to a romantic fantasy man who will sweep her away to his magic castle, but to a man who took her, possibly drunk, in his tiny apartment bedroom. Last week lawyers blamed a myriad of things for this case's very existence. Style of dress, the use of alcohol, wild parties, a small town where high school students regularly come into contact with college students, the poor reputation of student athletes, the pressures of growing up and breakdowns in the traditional family structure were all mentioned at some point. The prosecution blamed Thomas and the defense blamed the girl. Now that Thomas is legally free from responsibility for this incident and he and the girl can both try to put the whole thing behind them, blame no longer seems important. The time for judgments of innocent or guilty has passed, but the time for contemplating and changing the environments and practices that cause incidents like this one to happen hasn't. \N0W THB IS AJNESONIEU KNOW EXACTLY WHAT I'M vom WITH FOREIGN FDLICY/ J m jS'/t ¥ VIRTUAL UNREALITY LETTERS Requirements make students better teachers To the Editor: This is in response to a letter writ­ ten by Steve Bovingdon which ap­ peared in the Jan. 13 edition of The Observer. It seems Steve Bovingdon. does not want to work very hard at Cen­ tral to obtain a degree in education. He does not like having to maintain a 3.0 CPA or taking a test to enter the teacher education program, not to mention taking courses outside the education department My guess is he would like to see the standards lowered to his level so he can get accepted. I don't think that would be a good idea for the education department. If S teve investigates what a teacher needs to know and do on the job, he may realize how important courses in other departments really are. How are you going to figure grades for students, how each child statis­ tically fits into the class profile, or what a child's level is on standard­ ized tests if you know nothing about math? How are you going to write lesson plans, letters to other faculty mem­ bers, letters to parents, etc. without English? How are you going to spot a child who is having problems at home or elsewhere and may need counsel­ ing, or deal with problems in the classroom without the courses of­ fered by the psychology depart­ ment? I would think these are all very necessary courses for a future teacher, and I fail to see how taking courses such as these is dangerous. If you are truly interested in be­ coming a teacher then you should be more interested in learning. I believe Central's faculty want us to get good grades but more impor­ tantly, they want us to know and understand what is being taught To maintain good grades you have to know and understand the sub­ jects, and this requires a lot of hard work. The standards are set high to let only those who are dedicated and have the desire to become quality teachers, only those who can "think," into theeducation program. If you think you learned it all in high school, you better think again. I really laughed at the final sen­ tence, which was, "I already got through high school and don' t have to do that stuff anymore." That has to be the dumbest statement made by a university student, let alone a future teacher. If you don't have to do this stuff anymore, then why are you here? This is a university—"an institu­ tion of learning of the highest level .../'according to Webster's Dictio­ nary—not a technical trade school.

In the new constitution, semi-legally put together by Boris Yeltsin, there is a clause that only 25 percent of the registered voters need to vote to make the election viable. Now they're scrambling to get 25 percent to vote. To make mat­ ters worse, there are a disturbing number of college students who don't even know there are going to be elections, much less their date. During Yeltsin's illegal actions in late September and early Octo­ ber (he was not president the mo­ ment Parliament voted 149-0 to give him the boot), the citizens of St. Petersburg whom I know— history professors, philosophy stu­ dents, a few skilled laborers, the press—seemed to be unanimously of the opinion the events were taking place in Moscow and one cdrrupt government raised on So­ viet dictatorshipism is the same as another. This opinion was well-supported, and still is, by the fact 10 parties cannot participate in the election 15 newspapers, radio and TV shows were closed on Oct 5 and Pravda had to hire a new editor. Admittedly, the papers were re­ opened in two days and most of the shows are back on the air. But it was oh-so-easy to do whatcomes naturally to a man whose entire political career, until 1991, was the KPS S -Communist Party of the Soviet Union. Taking an outsider's view of the politics here, I'd have to say Rus­ sia needs desperately to stop try­ ing to do too much at once, and it'll be a couple of generations before democracy can exist here as the U. S. and Europe know it. The country needs to slow change because the democratization pro­ cess is causing a lot of people pain. The effect of this is the people are looking with fondness on the days of stability, when the prices of meat, an apartment and all the necessi­ ties didn't change in 50 years. The same basic style of govern­ ment was in effect here since Ivan the Terrible in the late 15th cen­ tury. At that time, the first efforts at democratization were being bom in Western Europe and have since progressed to the current state of affairs (which looks pretty messy right now). We've had 500 years of moving away from feudalism and monor­ chism. We've had a lot of pain and horror and our fair share of regres­ sion. We cannot expect a country of nearly 300 million people to suddenly throw off 500 years of stagnancy. We have to remember that while we are becoming freer, we seem to be handing our freedom to popular opinion.

I want to clear up a few things. KCAT is doing a wonderful job of trying to get their music out to the student body and the commu­ nity. I commend them for their unobserved hard work. This ar­ ticle made it seem as if I did not support them, but, in fact, I do. I did not say KCAT plays "rhythm and blues, older rock, Christian music, rap, reggae and heavy metal music." I did not say the "type of music" will definitely have to be reviewed. That is entirely up to the KCAT staff. I also did not say the "station needs to figure out its goals."

Page 8 Thursday, January 20,1994 The Observer Several administrative searches are in progress or have recently been concluded. The following is a partial update of their outcomes and progress. •Manager of Electronic Maintenance Services: Randall McLean assumed this position Jan. 16, said Donna Blanton, program support supervisor and search commit­ tee chair. McLean previously served as the lead computer maintenance technician for Central's Elec­ tronic Maintenance Services. •Director of Development: Maria Thompson has accepted this position and began work Tuesday, said Barbara Radke, director of University Relations and search committee chair. Thompson previously served as the senior campaigner at Arrowhead United Way in San Bernadino, Calif..She has also been an annual fund associate for the Seattle Symphony. •Counselor: Rhonda McKinney has been hired as a counselor at Central's Student Health and Counseling Center, said Marcia Eckert, office assistant at the center. McKinney will start Feb. 1 and will bring the number of counselors on staff up to three. She has degrees in psychology and counseling psychology, and a variety of counseling experi­ ence, including vocational counseling, according to her resume. •Community Training Coordinator: Carol Owens has been named to this position and will assume it the begin­ ning of next week, Raymond Riznyk, associate dean of Graduate Studies and Re­ search, and search committee chair, said. Owens will work with the prevention unit of the Washington Department of Social and Health Services to provide substance abuse prevention and training to Washington communities in this grant position funded by Graduate Studies and Re­ search. •Local Area Network Specialist: The search committee should be making a decision from a group of three finalists this week, said Rob Perkins, associate professor of business education and administrative management, and search committee chair, said. All three finalists have visited campus. One is from Oregon, one is from Tennes­ see, and the third is from Alaska. The three were selected from an original pool of 75 applicants. •Internal Auditor: Margaret A.

She has worked for the Washington State Auditor's Office and was most recently the account principle for Central's Auxiliary Services. Educator tries to find cure for the diseases of racism and prejudice by Brian Gill Staff reporter As Kenneth Morphet-Brown left a Yakima convenience store last week, a car with a mother and a young daughter inside pulled into the space beside his. The daughter began to exit, but her mother stopped her suddenly after notic­ ing Brown leaving the store. As Brown drove away from the store, the last thing he saw was a little girl who had just received her first lesson in racial prejudice. 'That girl learned a lesson that day," Brown said in a lecture to Central students in the Samuelson Union Building pit Jan. 12, "It wasn't a verbal lesson," Brown said. "Her mother didn't say, 'Uh oh, here comes one of them.' But she still got the message across." Brown believes those subtle mes­ sages are the reason prejudice and racial stereotyping together have become an infectious disease in this country, he said. Brown is a Yakima schoolteacher and lecturer on racial healing. Racism is a disease which is not being treated, he said. "Our government has made all sorts of laws to make discrimina­ tion illegal, and I'm not saying we should get rid of them," he said. "But discrimination is a symp­ tom," Brown said. "The disease can't be solved by the government or lawmakers." "Let me ask you this. Would you rather live in a country where there are all sorts of anti-discrimination laws which people violate or look for loopholes, or would you rather live in country where lawmakers and judges say it is OK to do and say whatever you want, only no­ body wants to discriminate?" There are two types of racial ste­ reotyping, Brown said. The first is the blatant, obvious stereotyping towards different eth­ nic groups. This type is unhidden and is found in only a compara­ tively small part of the population, he said. The second type is the "disease," he said. "The majority of racial stereotyp­ ing is hidden inside most people," Brown said. "This type affects all of us," he said. "It's the kind where if you ask somebody if they were at all preju­ dice, they would honestly answer 'No.'But that doesn't mean it is not there." Brown recalled a situation which took place in a grocery store when he was a child. "I was standing in a check-out line and ahead of me was a white person," he said. "Behind me there was another white person," Brown said. " The clerk was white, too. "The first customer was given his change in his hand. I was given my change on the counter. The girl behind me was also given her change in her hand. "When things like this happen all your life, it wears on your psychol­ ogy..... It would make anyone an- ST* "We all have our stereotypes," Brown said/To get rid of them we all must have the courage to ac­ knowledge they exist." "We are all individuals. The prob­ lem is, we don't know each other," he said. "I think we'll find out we have more in common than we think."

It was great watching the stu­ dents resolve their problems and fight for what they believe in. See SISTER/page 12 by Jennifer Thompson Staff reporter In his film Night on Earth, writer, producer and director Jim Jarmusch, takes some­ thing as ordinary as a taxi cab and turns it into virtually anything. For example, in the Los Angeles scenes, the cab exists as a casting office with the rider trying to cast the cab driver in a movie role. In Rome, the cab becomes a priest's confessional, while in New York, the cab becomes a driving school. Night On Earth is hard to categorize because it plays as a series of five films rolled into one. Each film takes place in a taxi cab at the same time period in Los Angeles, New York, Paris, Rome and Helsinki, Finland. Jarmusch opens each city segment with still shots in which the camera stands still, and only the natural move­ ment occurring was shown, such as clock hands ticking or birds flying. Each film follows a similar theme, a basic understanding of people. Jarmusch places people in cabs that are seemingly different. These people come out of the cabs understanding people are basically the same with the same feelings, needs and desires. The first film opens in Los Angeles at 7:07 p.m. Winona Ryder does an outstanding job of playing the greasy cab driver, Corky, who aspires to be a mechanic like her older brothers. Corky must drive Victoria Snelling, a casting agent, home to her exclusive California neighborhood, Beverly Hills. Along the route they both learn they have certain similari­ ties, even though they are seemingly complete opposites. They both want similar things out of life: love, success and happiness, and they want it on their terms. The only differ­ ence between them is an economic one. Victoria is rich and Corky is not. Victoria wants to give Corky a part in a movie she is casting, but Corky declines the offer because she wants to be a mechanic. It is then Victoria realizes how similar their goals are, because they are both determined to succeed. These Los Angeles scenes set the stage for the next four short films which take the audience around the world and through the time zones. On this journey through cities around the world, Jamusch lets the audience peep into the lives of people in an everyday situation, people riding in a cab. Through this everyday occurrence, Jarmusch shows people who seemingly have nothing in common can learn from one another if they spend time together. Next, the viewer is taken to New York, where a New York native is introduced. This man takes a cab which is driven by a recent immigrant to the United States. Through each other, they learn to have patience, and they learn about some of their cultural differences. Jarmusch ties the film together by continuing the same theme of differences and similarities in the three remain­ ing cities, Paris, Rome and Helsinki. I enjoyed the film as both five individual stories and as a unit. Jarmusch was able to show insight into the human condi­ tion through individuals placed in similar circumstances around the globe.

Sue Young, a Central karate teacher, said, speaking to approxi­ mately 20 women in her personal defense class. The class, which meets Monday nights in Mary GrupeCenter, gives people the confidence and ability to deal with attacks or potentially threatening situations. Although the class addresses women's issues, and usually con­ sists of only women, Young said she has had some male students in the past. Young, a black belt in Shudokan karate, also runs the Central Wash- ington School of Karate in EUensburg. She has been teaching karate in EUensburg for more than 11 years, and has taught at Central for six years. Young divides class time between actual defense techniques and the issues of self-defense. Self-defense techniques include how to escape a choke hold or using an elbow attack to escape John Costello/The Observer Sue Young, the instructor of the personal defense class on campus, demonstrates one way to deal with an at­ tacker. being grabbed from behind. The other half of class time fo­ cuses on how to become more as­ sertive and the lifestyle changes that can keep women from becom­ ing Victims. "A potential attacker can pick you out by something as simple as the way you walk," Young said. Simple changes in the way eye contact is made or the way the shoulders are held could change the image portrayed to an assertive one rather than that of a victim, she said. Putting the shoulders back causes a woman to appear taller and more assertive. Eye contact sends a message of assertiveness and makes women more aware of their surroundings. By adopting these attitudes, a woman may reduce her chances of becoming assaulted, Young said. For their last personal defense class, the students will participate in an actual attack by members of Young's karate school, using the methods they have learned. The attack is designed to give students an understanding of an actual experience when the student could be physically attacked by another person. The final simulation gives self- defense students a chance to see how they would react to that at­ tack. "It (the simulation) will get your adrenaline pumping ... and gives the best possible simulation of an actual attack," Young said. Steve Rittereiser, chief of Public Safety and Police Services, said, "The class presents a good oppor­ tunity to learn an alternative." "It gives students more options if they are assaulted," he said. In some instances, resistance may anger the attacker further, and make the attacker more vio­ lent, which could result in death for the victim, Rittereiser said. Students cited different reasons for taking the class. Atina Tan, a freshman, said she wanted to build self-confidence. Other students said they wanted to develop the physical skills and assertiveness necessary to prevent themselves from being victims. Rittereiser did not have statistics for the number of reported sexual assaults in 1993. However, he did say one second- degree rape, which is rape without a weapon. It's possible not all the sexual assaults that occurred were See DEFENSE/page 14
The Observer i nursaay, January 20,1994 Page 11 Speeding and seatbelts: the knowledge might help you avoid tickets by Joann Home Staff reporter Picture this. A Central student, Kim, drives on 1-90 on a sunny, glorious day. There are no clouds in the sky, and Kim is feeling pretty good. All of a sudden, she looks in her rearview mirror, and realizes she is being followed. Her beautiful day is ruined, when she's pulled over by a motorcycle police officer. "I was speeding down 1-90 and air surveillance clocked me go­ ing over 80 mph ...," said Kim Boxx, a senior history major. The speed limit was 65 mph, and Boxx was issued an $86 ticket Boxx's ticket was probably part of the 246 moving violations Public Safety and Police Ser­ vices issued last year. While speeding tickets were among this number, Public Safety and Police Services do not have statistics broken down into specific categories, such as speeding, running a red light, failing to yield the right of way, etc. Knowing and obeying the speed limit is one way to avoid being m llilliil mmmm NISI mmm liltil / mm A policeman, with his trusty radar gun, sits ready and waiting to stop speeding cars. ~ " destrian traffic, because of the pulled over. For example, the speed limit is 35 mph on Cascade Way and on South Canyon Road. Downtown Ellensburg, north of Canyon Road, has a 25 mph speed limit In school zones, the speed limit is 20 mph. Last, but not least, parking lots rate a speed of 15 mph. "Some of the more common ex­ cuses (for speeding) are being late, (being) unaware of the speed lim­ its, and notpaying attention," said Officer Terry Borck of Public Safety and Police Services. Speeding is a big danger to pe- phenomenal amount of pedes­ trians, Borck said. While students can get ticketed for speeding, they can also re­ ceive an additional ticket for not wearing their seatbelt, said Of­ ficer Drew Houck of Public Safety and Police Services. Not wearing a seatbelt can can cost $47 per person, he said. Only 52 percent of Central stu­ dents use seatbelts, according to Public Safety and Police Ser­ vices. This is less than the 68 percent national average, the de­ partment said. Police normally don't give out seatbelt citations to students who disobey the speed limit and don't wear seatbelts, Houck said. Public Safety and Polices Ser­ vices plan to educate people on seatbelt use. Recently, the department re­ ceived a grant from the Wash­ ington State Traffic Safety Commission. This grant will help fund the education program. As with speeding, if people know the seatbelt rules, they are less likely to be cited. For example, anyone over 16 years of age may receive a cita­ tion for not wearing a seatbelt, Houck said. It is the driver's responsibility to make sure passengers under 16 are buckled up, he said. If the driver is less than 16 years old and driving with a perm it, but a licensed adult is in the car, the responsibility doesn't necessarily fall with the driver. "The law is not really clear, but the licensed driver in the car should be responsible," Houck said. Police can't pull someone over just for not wearing a seatbelt, he said. The only exception to this rule is when a child under the age of 6 appears to be unrestrained, which is sufficient cause for police to pull over the car, Houck said. Whether an officer issues a cita­ tion or a warning is up to the officer's discretion, Houck said. For more information about seatbelt education programs, con­ tact Detective Kevin Higgins or Officer Houck at 963-2958. STAY ALIVE AT "Do not anticipate trouble, or worry about what may never hap t pen, Keepin the sunlight" Benjamin Franklin Students have become more responsible about drinking by Lori Leitner Scene editor Students have become more responsible about driving while intoxicated over the past 10 years, said Steve Rittereiser, chief of Public Safety and Police Services. The department encounters about 12 drunk driving incidents a year, and approxi­ mately eight or nine of those incidents involve college students, he said. The consequences for drunk driving are becoming more severe, Rittereiser said. For one's first offense, driving drunk can result in spending a mandatory 24 hours in jail, paying fines of up to $500, and having one's license suspended for 30 days. First offense drunk drivers can also spend about six weeks in alcohol school, which is a school that makes them more aware of the effects of alcohol, Rittereiser said. Perhaps these penalties reflect why Public Safety and Police Services sees more cab use and designated drivers, he said. "I think Ellensburg is a small enough place that you can walk places," said Tara Edwards, a senior and a double major in speech communication and sociology. "I don't think it (driving drunk) is worth the risk. It's something you live with for the rest of your life. If you hurt yourself or someone else, you'll never forget what that feels like. It doesn't . take that much time to walk. I think most people here walk," she said. As students become more responsible, bars are also becoming more responsible, Rittereiser said. "Lounge owners realize the liabilities for sending someone out on the road who has been overserved," he said. If drunk people hurt themselves or others while driving, the lounge or tavern could be held financially responsible in a civil law suit, Rittereiser said. Although bars and students are becoming more responsible, drunk driving still exists. Weaving cars and cars crossing thp center line are some ways to recognize drunk drivers, Rittereiser said.

When Public Safety and Police Services officers see a suspected drunk driver, they pull the car over, Rittereiser said. Then they observe the driver. Red, glassy or bloodshot eyes could be a sign the driver has been drinking, Rittereiser said. Other signs include the smell of alcohol on the driver's breath, or the degree of alcohol odor coming from the car, he said. "If those obstacles lead us to believe the driver has been drinking, we do field sobriety tests to help determine how drunk they are," Rittereiser said. Some field sobriety tests include reciting the alphabet, touching a finger to the nose, or balancing on one leg, he said. Another test involves a portable breathalyzer, where the driver blows into a device which gives an accurate reading of the driver's blood alcohol content (BAC). If a person shows a BAC of .10 percent, that person is legally intoxicated, Rittereiser said.

Scholl, a fresh­ man, is one of six candidates for the 1994 title of Ellensburg Rodeo Queen, to be awarded Jan. 29. This interview for The Observer was one of many stops along the long road a rodeo queen contestant travels. After the interview and a day of classes, Scholl had an ap­ pearance at Sweet Memories for a get-together where the six queen candidates and their parents met and mingled with the competition's judges. Then, preparation begins for the final event of the competition on Jan. 29: a banquet set for 6 p.m. at Tunstall Dining Hall. Each of the candidates will give a presentation to an audience of approximately 500 on a rodeo-related theme. The 1994 rodeo queen and princess will be crowned during the gala. Candidates are judged on poise, confidence, ability to comm unicate and horsemanship skills, Glenn Madsen, director of the Ellensburg Rodeo Royal Court, said. The win­ ner earns the title of Rodeo Queen and a $500 scholarship. The run­ ner-up is named Ellensburg Rodeo Princess and receives a $250 schol­ arship. Many of this year's candidates share lifelong involvement in ro­ deo. This year is Scholl's first time in the rodeo queen competition, but her ties to the Ellensburg Rodeo go way back. "My dad grew up here and we've always come down to watch it," Scholl said. "It's something I've always looked forward to." Scholl has also spent a good deal of time around horses. "When I was a little tiny girl, my aunt raised horses," she said. "My parents realized I was really crazy about them. They got me a horse when I was nine." Though she never participated in riding competitions, Scholl learned many important skills. She has since sold her first horse, April, and now owns two others.

The Observer Thursday, January 20,1994 Page 13 ifilli illllili •HP iiitfip • illiW •MP Pi Andrews/The Observer Assistant Professor of music Jeffery Snedeker holds a prized possession, his French horn. Assistant professor fascinates crowd by Eric Andrews Staff reporter From the crowded floor of the Hal Holmes Center downtown, he can be seen on­ stage preparing for his evening recital. Soon the crowd has settled into expectant stillness. The silence is pierced by the brave, lone sound of his French horn. He's got the audience's attention. A musical story is unfolding on-stage. First it's a soft and distant bugle call, and then it's full, bold and triumphant. It all flows in one well-executed mo­ tion. Meet Jeffery Snedeker, whose Jan. 12 evening performance was a magical journey for all who wanted to go along. , , 'That was a 'traveling impres­ sion,' meaning he went to Spain and this was his musical reac­ tion," Snedeker said, as he de­ scribed the opening song by Vitaly Buyanovsky. With a friendly, casual ap­ proach, he went on to describe whatever made each composi­ tion unique. In sound and style, each piece of music was distinctively dif­ ferent from the others. Every­ thing was played with intense concentration by Snedeker to­ gether with faculty colleagues. The entire show was full of gold nuggets to inspire music stu­ dents and entertain the less ini­ tiated. In short, every person in the audience had the chance to See (or hear) abigpartof Snedeker's life. Although Snedeker thrilled his audience, those same people might also be enthralled with his office. Its walls are covered with an­ tique instruments, photos and certificates. The antique instruments are a recent interest, he said. Playing antique instruments teaches the player something about the past, and it's fun and challenging, he said. His real specialty is the French horn. Snedeker likes his job in Central's music department, , where he has taught since 1991. "I'm very lucky, considering thecareer opportunities of some of my friends," he said. "Good jobs are scarce." After earning his degree at the University of Wisconsin, he came to Ellensburg where he taught in Hertz Hall. He was a temporary replacement for a professor on medical leave. Snedeker really enjoys putting performanceprogramstogether, he said. "Picking a program can be more difficult than it seems, it's not just the random picking of music," he said. "You want to demonstrate musical techniques for your students (on their level), but you also want to dazzle and give them something to shoot for," Snedeker said. "Performing recitals gives you a balance between teach­ ing about doing and actually doing," he said. Performing is. also a release for him, he said. Performing music faculty re­ citals is a lot like the research done in other departments, Snedeker said. "We as a group just feel that it's very important," he said. Apparently the music faculty agree, because almost one- third of them performed with Snedeker Jan. 12. Snedeker is also impressed with the students he's taught, because many of them are very outward-looking when it comes to both life and music, he said. The students usually want to learn, he added. Central's musical perfor­ mance schedule for the next two quarters is varied and in­ teresting, Snedeker said. The highlight may be the spring performance of "Carmina Burana," which should be "a real crowd- pleaser," he said. Students interested in being a part of the spring production can contact the music depart­ ment. Art displays realism and abstractness by Ai Harrison Staff reporter A must see exhibit of original works from some of the most influential American artists is currently running at the Sarah Spurgeon Art Gallery through January. The Modern American Masters Collection contains silk-screen prints and lithographs from art­ ists such as Sam Francis and Claes Oldenburg, who have helped form the major art movements from the 1940s to the 1970s. The other eight artists featured are Ed Ruscha, Wayne Thiebaud, Roy Lichtenstein, Robert Rauschenberg James Dine, Frank Stella, Sol Lewitt and Roy DeForest. Although only a total of 10 pieces are displayed, the walk is well worth it, even if only the following three pieces are seen: The Statue of Liberty, by Lichtenstein, is a striking visual mixture of realistic and abstract style.

The police officers then determine whether the person's driving is affected by the alleged previous drinking activities. If so, then the person is arrested on suspicion of driving while intoxicated, Rittereiser said. "If your driving is affected, and the cop can prove it, you can get hammered for a DWI, the short term for Driving While Intoxicated," Rittereiser said. Rittereiser said there are alternatives to drinking while driving. "I think students should have a game plan ahead of time, like what would I do if I became too drunk to drive, and enact that plan," he said. He gave examples of calling a roommate to drive, walking home or taking a cab. Another suggestion was having a desginated driver, a person who wouldn't drink. Some students agree with Rittereiser. "Statistics show that it (drunk driving) kills people. It's the wrong thing to do," said Brad Balles, a junior and speech communication major. FRIENDS DON'T LET FRIENDS DRIVE DRUNK.

Three faculty members will play music by Anne Mafort Staff reporter The drab winter evening will be brightened with rich sounds as three faculty members from Central's music department step into the spotlight while perform­ ing with the Yakima Symphony Orchestra Jan. 22. Homist Jeffrey Snedeker, trum­ peter Thomas Gause and trom­ bonist Lawrence Gookin will per­ form the four-movementCtfrtcmo for Three Brass,by composer and director David Ott, while the or­ chestra will perform Schubert's Symphony in C Major. All three soloists are highly re­ spected instructors within their fields, and have been performing professionally for years, accord­ ing to Sarah Marley, executive director of the Yakima Symphony Orchestra. Snedeker, assistant professor of music, began as both a fill-in pro­ fessor at Central and hornist with the Yakima Symphony Orchestra. Saturday's concert will be about the same size as the first one he played with the Yakima Sym­ phony Orchestra in the winter of 1991. "I was called to fill in for a per­ son who had a schedule conflict to play a kiddy (small) concert," said Snedeker of his introduction to the orchestra. Gradually, he moved up from third horn to a permanent first horn position within the orches­ tra. He ialso serves as principle hornist with the New Southwest Orchestra in Albuquerque, N.M. Snedeker has extensive educa­ tion and expertise in historical instruments, music history, brass literature, and solo and chamber music. At Central, he specializes in the study and performance of histori­ cal instruments. He also conducts Central's Brass Choir and the Central Washing­ ton Horn Ensemble. He appreciates the closeness with which the facultv and students of the music department work to­ gether, Snedeker said. "We help each other out," he said. The second of Central's three performing faculty, AssistantPro- fessor of music Thomas Gause, has expertise in composition, jazz studies, chamber music, and mu­ sic business. Gause obtained his master of business administration at the University of Nevada at Las Ve­ gas while residing in Las Vegas, Nev. During his schooling, Gause toured the Vegas circuit as a source of income. He recalled doing mostly production shows, including performing in topless bars. The Vegas circuit provided a flexible scheduleperforming four or five hours a day for two days a week as a professional trumpeter. "That schedule gave me a chance to compose," Gause said. He then taught at the University of Nevada before coming to Cen­ tral in the fall of 1991.

Take some time with this one, and look deeply into the scribbles and patterns. Gause said he enjoys working at Central because the caliber of professors is incredibly high. He became a permanent prin­ ciple trumpeter for YSO at about the same time he joined Central's faculty. Central Professor of music and Director of Bands Larry Gookin has been with Central's music department for more than a de­ cade. He is also currently one of the most highly recognized educa­ tors in the Northwest, according to Snedeker and Gause. Gookin's awards include the National Bank Association Cita­ tion of Excellence, and several others. He is also the president of the Northwest Division of College Band Directors National Asso­ ciation. Gookin received his master's degree at the University of Or­ egon, and played trombone with the Eugene Symphony. His expertise includes music education and conducting, ac­ cording to Marley.

The Observer Thursday, January 20,1994 Page 15 QUEEN: Candidate expresses confidence Summer camp offers interesting one-time * experience From QUEEN/page 12 priority for the rodeo queen, said Michelle Gibson, one of last year's Ellensburg Rodeo Queen candi­ dates. Gibson, a sophomore majoring in pre-veterinary medicine has been involved with showing and com­ petitive riding for several years. She notes that as rodeo queen, one must spend a good deal of time on horseback. "We've had queens in the past who, during the rodeo run, fell off their horse," Gibson said. "I mean, you 're representing the Ellensburg Rodeo." A riding competition Ian. 8 at Venture Farms allowed this year's candidates to test their horseman­ ship skills. During the competi­ tion, the candidates had to demon­ strate proficiency in saddling and unsaddling their honses as well as performing tricky maneuvers on horseback. Each contestant's ride included a rodeo run, in which they rode close to the grandstands and waved to the audience at high speed. None of this year's candidates fell off. All of the girls performed very well in the competition, which con­ stitutes a large portion of each candidate's overall score, Madsen said. Despite the good review, Scholl admitted her lack of competitive riding experience made her a bit nervous during the competition. "I know these girls," she said."A lot of them have been in shows and they've placed really well." But her horse, which was also inexperienced at formal competi­ tion, performed exceedingly well. "She knew what she had to do and she did beautifully," Scholl said. But the competition involves more than horsemanship. The pre­ sentations the candidates will give at the banquet are meant to test their abilities at public speaking. "The Rodeo Royal Court pro­ motes our community," Madsen said. "They are ambassadors for our area and are very visible at major events," he said. Mary Johnson, an administrator for the Rodeo Board, agrees. "It's really important to get some­ one who represents the entire com­ munity," Johnson said. "The rodeo and Ellensburg have become synonymous," she said. Gibson, who gave her presenta­ tion to a sold-out crowd at last year's banquet, paints a frighten­ ing picture of the competition. "In the past, there have been girls who've gotten up there and fro­ zen," she said/They couldn't say a word and had to turn around and walk off." Scholl is ready to tackle the challenge. "I've been told by everybody that you have to speak in front of a lot of people," she said. "I know I can do it and do it well." Scholl attributes her confi­ dence to several years of per­ forming with the Melody Lane Singers. "We would have to get up and sing solos in front of three or four hundred people," she said "I loved to see peoples' faces. It was just so fun watching the audience, you kind of forgot they were watching you." Appropriate to her lifelong love of the rodeo, Scholl plans to do her presentation on a child's view of the rodeo. "I know therodeo queen, com­ pared to what a lot of the volun­ teers do, has a relatively small part," Scholl said. "But I think it sounds wonderful, just going out there and saying: come watch us." Gibson agrees. "It's a great experience," she said. "Even if you don't win, every­ one remembers you as the girl who ran for rodeo queen," she said. "BEWARE PREJUDICES.

LORD JEFFREY by Lori Le'rtner Scene editor \A\ D BUCK It was a cold, dark night in Ellensburg. I could hear the wind roaring outside, as I tried to answer the big question that had been haunting me for decades. What was I going to do this summer? After much serious thought, I decided to work at a summer camp. It was the summer of 1992, and I was going to work at Hidden Valley Camp near Granite Falls. I worked as a kitchen assistant, which meant I worked about 12 hours a day, six days a week. At the end of each day, I would haul myself to bed and collapse, meanwhile commiserating with my buinkmates about why we had ever decided to come to this forsaken wasteland. As I drifted off to sleep, I was ready to spring awake at a moment's notice, for we shared our tent with mice, and they could climb the legs of the cots. I remember one night, my bunkmate, Nicole, woke up, screaming, as if her favorite hair spray was out of stock. She flung something across the room, in my direction. I didn't know until later to be scared of that thing she flung. Apparently, Nicole had awoke to find a mouse sleeping on her chest, which she promptly picked up and flung across the room. There were also incidents of hearing mice rummaging about in our tent trash can at night My bunkmatesandl would constantly argue about whose turn it was to dump the mouse. We always evaded the mice, but they always came back. We also had other animals to keep us company. Almost every night, I could hear the coyotes howling as I lay in my sleeping bag. It got so I was afraid to even go to the bathroom by myself at night To have to brave the cold was one thing, but to have to go out into the dark, creepy night, not knowing what I might encoun­ ter? No way! I usually held it until morning. I guess I don't sound like the back-to-basics, wilderness type, and I guess I'm not I'd much rather sleep in mobile homes, trailers or vans when camping, or better yet, scrap the whole thing and stay home! However, now that I look back at summer camp, I have only this to say ... It was worth experiencing once, but next time I get the yearning to spend three months in the middle of nowhere, I'll remember all the animals I made friends with, and I'm sure I'll immediately change my mind.

Page 16 Thursday, January 20,1994 The Observer President Clinton declares Janu­ ary National Blood Donor Month Despite a plethora of international obligations, President Clinton recently found time to proclaim January 1994 National Volunteer Blood Donor Month, according to the American Red Cross. "Americans are a caring and giving people," Clinton said in his official proclamation. "By donating blood, we can bring the gift of life to those who are in desperate need," he said. "Eight million blood donors volunteer each year to give blood, and they exemplify much of what is best about Americans: a willingness to help our neighbors, to take responsibility for our communi­ ties, and to respond to the call of service. "I commend you for your commitment to civic duty. I encourage you to continue to help us maintain a safe and sufficient blood supply and to encourage other healthy people to participate on behalf of this wonderful cause," Clinton said. Watch for special promotional events to mark National Volunteer Blood Donor Month within the Columbia River Region and the surrounding areas. Donated blood needed over holidays People who enjoy donating blood should donate more during the holidays, because that is when it's needed the most, according to the American Red Cross. Times of need include the days surrounding the following holidays: Christmas/New Year's, Memorial Day, Indepen­ dence Day, Labor Day and Thanksgiving. Holiday donation numbers often drop as people become more immersed in entertaining and traveling. This is bad news, because the need for donated blood during holidays can increase dramati­ cally due to accidents on crowded highways, according to the American Red Cross. What's more, the blood supply dwindles on holidays when blood center and mobile drawings don't take place. In response to this dilemma, a new promotional program called "Holiday Heroes" has been launched. Current donors who give at the Yakima and Tri-Cities donation centers have received a special mailing urging them to join the "Holiday Heroes Club." Club members are people who commit to giving blood at a time near holidays. After becoming a club member, participating donors receive a reminder call from the blood center before each donation. Each "Holiday Hero" receives a special label for their blood donor card and a holiday- specific lapel pin at the time of the donation, according to the Red Cross. Anyone interested in becoming a "Holiday Hero" can contact the American Red Cross. Donating blood requires a healthy, giving nature With January being National Volunteer Blood Donor Month, people may be wondering what makes an acceptable blood donor. According to the American Red Cross, the individual must have a giving nature. Other guidelines include: The donor must be in good health. The donor must be 18 years of age. People who have had malaria may donate three years after recovery and completion of therapy. Working in a potential blood exposure area, where a person is exposed to blood often, will not prevent a person from giving blood. People with any risk of expo­ sure to HIV are ineligible to give blood. People who have had cancer - may give blood, if they did not receive chemotherapy and have had no recurrence of the cancer in the past five years. Women may donate blood six weeks after giving birth. Blood donors must weigh at least 110 pounds. Routine dental work will not prevent a person from giving blood. Donors must wait at least a year after receiving a tattoo before giving blood. If a donor has been exposed to measles, chicken pox or mumps, they may give blood three weeks after exposure. Most acne medications will not prevent a person from giving blood. People taking antibiotics may donate 48 hours after their last dose and must feel well at the time of the donation. The use of birth control pills will not prevent a person from giving blood. Donors may give blood two weeks after receiving immunizations for measles, yellow fever and oral typhoid. Donors may give blood four weeks after receiving immunizations for German Measles, and one year alter receiving a rabies vaccine. These guidelines are part of a multi-tiered system of donor screening and testing to ensure the safety of both the donor and eventual ieceipient When you give blood anoiner another anoiner anoiner chance.

"I was really looking forward to it (coaching)," Caldwell said. "It's frustrating. A lot of people on the tennis team are frustrated as well," Caldwell said. Despite the cutting of their pro­ grams, five to seven women's ten­ nis players will still receive tuition waivers and all seniors Juniors and sophomores in both sports will re­ ceive letters. "I feel really bad for them, it's like the world has left them," Zenisek said. "It's a sad situation."

'Cats stun fourth-ranked Hawaii Pacific, 89-80 by Chuck Case Staff reporter Central's men's basketball team ended its Hawaiian trip Sunday on a positive note, winning 89-80over defendingNAIAchampion Hawaii Pacific in Honolulu. The win followeda 117-91 thrash­ ing at the hands of B YU-Hawaii on Friday, and the win also gave Cen­ tral its third victory over a ranked team. Central earlier defeated the fifth-ranked team in the NCAA Division II, Central Missouri, and 21st-ranked Western Washington University. Central's win was led by the hot shooting of junior Ryan Pepper, who scored 31 points, including 22 in the first half. Junior Willie Tho­ mas, a transfer from Los Angeles, contributed 15 points and 11 re­ bounds to the cause. Central played nearly a perfect first half, as it raced to a 53-32 lead. Juniorpointguard DavidRockwood had four assists and no turnovers in the half. Central had only two turn­ overs the entire half. The second half was not nearly as smooth. Central had more turnovers than baskets, 21-19, in the half. On the other hand, Hawaii Pacific hit four of its first six shots in the second half to close the margin to 57-44. The margin dropped as low as 10 points. Then Central went on a 13- 2 run, capped by the last of Pepper's five three-pointers, to increase its lead to 74-53. Soon afterwards Pepper commit­ ted his fourth foul, and was out of the game for about two minutes. Hawaii Pacific took advantage, scoring 10 straight points. Hawaii Pacific closed the margin to 80-71, Dave Fiske/Special To The Observer [A Central player looks to add to the lead while a St. ^Martin's player pushes him to the limit. but Central managed to hang on. Central held Hawaii Pacific to six points in the final 2:40, and snapped Hawaii Pacific's 22-game home winning streak. Central's next game is Jan. 20 at home against S imon Fraser at 7:30 p.m. Central will then play at Western on Saturday. WILDCAT NOTES: Central raised its record to 5-11 with the split in the Hawaiian islands. All of their remaining games are against District I foes. Ryan Pepper entered into last weekend's action second in the district in scoring, averaging just over 19 points a game. Clint Bailey of St. Martin's leads with 22.3 points a game. Willie Thomas was the district leader in field-goal per­ centage. The 6'5" junior was shooting a blistering 56.3 percent.
Page 18 Thursday, January 20,1994 The Observer * Stevenson wins invitational by Deborah Irmer Staff reporter The pressure is on for members of the Central wrestling team to qualify for the NAIA national tournament. On Saturday, the team traveled to Oregon City, Ore. for the Clackamas Invitational, the first of three remaining opportunities for the wrestlers to qualify for nationals. Central fared well at the tourna­ ment with five wrestlers placing in the top four within their weight categories. Leading the Wildcats was Ellensburg's own Jason Stevenson. Stevenson won the champion­ ship in the 142-pound weight class after scoring a 3-1 overtime deci­ sion over Simon Fraser's Steve Rose in the championship match. Adam Scanlan and Jason Vose both placed third in the 158 and 190-pound weightclasses, respec­ tively. Other wrestlers who placed for Central included 118-pounder Jason Baril, who finished fourth, and Paul Martinez, who placed fourth in the heavyweight divi­ sion. Erik McDowell was held out of the tournament once again due to a bruised knee. Wrestling in his place at 167 pounds was Ryan Elsemore. Next up for the Central wres­ tling team was a dual meet with Yakima Valley Community Col­ lege, which was ranked third in the nation in community colleges before their loss last week to Lassen Community College. The meet took place last Tuesday .The results were unavailable at press time.

The Observer Thursday, January 20,1994 Page 19 Davis, Central swim program perfect match by Paul L.Williams Sports editor To say Central women's swim­ mer Carianne Davis has made a splash this year is an understate­ ment. The freshman from Port Orchard (South Kitsap) has qualified for nationals in nine different events. competively since the age of six and continued on to high school where she qualified for state all four years, her best finish being third place in the 100-meter breast- stroke and the 200-meter individual medley. When it came to choosing a col­ lege, the choice was an obvious one for Davis. "I came to Central because it's come to a lot of my meets and they give me an extra little push when I need it." Outside of swimming, Davis also tcachcs swimming lessons for kids. "I love working with kids in the water," she said. "It's a lot of fun to sec them swimming and enjoying • A It. Being able to work with kids is one of the reasons why she is an is the long break in the off-season. Davis usually has two seasons, the normal school season and a swim­ ming club season. "I'm not sure what I will do in the off-season," Davis said. "I will probably do some type of train­ ing." It is highly likely Davis will swim all four years of college at Central. "I like the swim program here, it's SSttK 1 £11 w.v, Pinnell/The Observer Carianne Davis shows the form that has led her to quailfy for nationals. However Davis has no real specialty event. "I was always taught to be a well-rounded person," Davis said. You can catch the women's and men's swim teams in action Saturday as the Wildcats host the CWU Quadrangular. And with four weeks and four meets left until districts, that total could certainly increase. "We could put her at any one of the 20 events and she would prob­ ably post a national-qualifying time," said Head Coach Lori Clark of Davis. Swimming is nothing new to Davis. At the age of three months she was in pools and she was taking swimming lessons at the age of three years. * "My mom drowned as a kid so she wanted her kids to learn how to swim," Davis said. And swim they have. Carianne and her two older brothers have all swam at the collegiate level. Tim swam for Pacific Lutheran Univer­ sity for four seasons and Jeff swam for Central the last two seasons. Davis has been swimming far enough away from home and it has a good education program Davis said. Probably the biggest reason she came to Central is her brother Jeff, who is now an assistant coach, according to Davis. "Jeff is very observant, if he sees something he'll tell you in­ stead of having to ask him," Davis said. "He trains me a lot like I train back home and I look up to him a lot because he's my role model." Even though Davis has been swimming competively since the age of six, she still enjoys it as much now as when she started. She credits this to setting goals and resetting them, and to the support of her parents. "My parents have been very supportive," Davis said. 'They education major. "I had some really influential tcachcrs who made an impact on me," Davis said. "I love kids and hopefully I can make an impact on their lives."
