The petite sex therapist offered advice and answered questions from the more than 500 people at McConnell Auditorium. "I never get any kinky questions because of the context that I speak in," Westheimer, 65, said. "I'm an old grandmotherly-type woman." Westheimer is currently an ad­ junct professor at New York Uni­ versity and has twice been named "College Lecturer of the Year." She coined the phrase "sexual literacy," which shesays all people should strive to have. She also has headed up the campaign to en­ courage more people to engage in safe sex by using condoms. Westheimer, who helped genera­ tions of Americans say "penis" without bursting out in laughter, is the author of "Dr. Ruth's Guide to Good Sex," "Dr. Ruth Talks to Kids" and eight other bodes. She isalsocomingoutwith"Dr.Ruth's Encyclopedia of Sex." Since 1980, she has hosted Sexually Speaking," an hour-long nationally syndicated call-in radio m by David Scott Seay Staff reporter Ken PInnell/The Observer Tom Borland and Annmarie Klatt assisted Dr. Ruth Westheimer Tuesday night by reading questions for her far-ranging lecture and question/answer session dealing with the need for sexual literacy. talk show. "This is 1994—some people be­ lieve strange things," Westheimer said. "We can bring a man to the moon and back, but we can't find a perfect contraceptive. This is be­ cause of sexual illiteracy." Westheimer has attempted to edu­ cate the public about AIDS. She still maintains a private practice and spends eight hours per week seeing patients. "I don't want to see sex clinics in the high school," Westheimer said. "I think we need to have sexual education and not scare tech­ niques." Audience members asked Westheimer questions including the proper use of vibrators, the need for female breasts and how a man can sexually please a woman more ef­ fectively. Most questions asked by students started with, "My friend has this problem..." Though she encourages sexual lit­ eracy, she does not encourage ev­ eryone to have sex. "Some people come from differ­ ent backgrounds, so don't let any­ one tell you tojbe sexually active. I'm all for people^ who want to choose abstinence?' Westheimer said. "Do it when you want to, and don't do it when you've had too much to drink," she said. Westheimer told people not to al­ low sex to get old. "Lovemaking can get boring," she said. "Put some variety in it Get rid of the kids, check into the motel." "Anything two consenting adults do in the privacy of their home is OK," Westheimer said. Dr. Ruth Westheimer—author, columnist, radio announcer, sex therapist, associate professor and Israeli freedom fighter—visited Central Tuesday night. Westheimer was born in Ger­ many in 1928. The rest of her family was killed at Auschwitz concentration camp during World War II and she was sent to an orphanage in Switzerland. In 1948, she moved to Israel and joined the Israeli army, where both of her legs were wounded when a mortar shell exploded near her. Westheimer then moved to Paris and studied psychology at Sorbonne University. In 1956, she came to the United States. She received her master's degree in sociology from the graduate faculty of the New School of Social Research and received her doctorate in education in the interdisciplinary study of family from Columbia University Teacher's College. Westheimer lectures on college campuses to help others because she believes mostproblems can be solved by education, she said. "If I prevent one unwanted preg­ nancy, stop one sexually transmit­ ted disease or educate one person then what I am doing is worth­ while," she said. University organization to integrate English courses with other subjects by Matthew Burke Staff reporter Speaking and Writing Across the Curriculum, anew university orga­ nization, is attempting to redraft all required English courses to teach students more than just writing. SWAC, under the direction of Judith Kleck, assistant professor of English, is encouraging instructors of English 101 and 301 to join with professors from different academ ic departments to develop integrated classes. Course integration, or course link­ ing, allows a professor teaching either English 101 or English 301 to voluntarily work with a profes­ sor of another department in de­ signing a course in which one sub­ jects taught while, in the adjoining English class, papers are assigned dealing directly with that material. Kleck said she thinks course link­ ing is the best and most practical idea on the table, and in the future she hopes to offer methods so ev­ ery department on campus can ben­ efit by improving research and writ­ ing skills. "There has been a lot of discus­ sion about ways of incorporating writing into classes within other disciplines, especially at the higher level," Kleck said. That talk has become action. So far, four English classes have been linked with sociology, anthropol­ ogy, art and education classes. Fall quarter 1993, Bobby Cummings, professor of English, worked with William Smith, pro­ fessor of anthropology, in design­ ing a course link between English 101 and Anthropology 120 (Ar­ chaeology). Cummings, who has also linked an English 101 course with Ethnic Studies 101, had to study archaeol­ ogy along with her composition students in order to assist them with their essays. The course was a learning experi­ ence for both professor and stu­ dent, she said. "I am convinced this is the way to teach freshman composition courses," Cummings said. "I would like to see it proliferate." Cummings and Smith plan to of­ fer the linked English and anthro­ pology course again fall quarter 1994. SWAC, with Kleck as coordina­ tor, has based its efforts on a model program currently in place at the University of Washington. The University of Wasington has an exceptional interdisciplinary writing program which includes writing-intensive courses in every department called 'W' classes, Kleck said. These courses focus on the research and writing abilities necessary for each particular field. The doctorate programs, which are included in many departments at the University of Washington, are a vital part of the W-class cur­ riculum, she said. Students enrolled in the programs teach many of the W classes in their departments. "The University of Washington has lots of money," Kleck said. "It's a very different set up than we have here. It would be hard to apply the University of Washington model, to just smack it onto our curriculum." Rather than trying to institute in­ tensive writing courses within each department, SWAC is focusing on the course integration program.

The Observer Thursday, February 17,1994 Page 3 Psychology department reels in fish grant State gives whopper of grant to study behavior of Chinook salmon in hatcheries by Tim Yeadon Staff reporter Central's psychology department has recently been awarded approxi­ mately $67,000 by Central and the State of Washington's Water Re­ search Center to evaluate a new hatchery program in Leavenworth. * A team of three people from Cen­ tral, including Dr. Terry DeVietti, professor of psychology, Jim Thomson, designer and technician of lab equipment and Dr. Paul James, assistant professor of biol­ ogy, is attempting to determine behavioral differences between wild Chinook Salmon and hatch­ ery-bred salmon. This team and several Central graduate students will observe salmon at the Icicle Creek Hatch­ ery, which is owned by the United States Fish and Wildlife Depart­ ment They will collect samples of the fish and transport them to the third floor of thePsychology Build­ ing for further research. This project will attempt to deter­ mine why hatchery fish do not sur- ^ vive and are not able to spawn, DeVietti said. The program being implemented at the hatchery is attempting to re­ move people from the feeding pro­ cess, which DeVietti said is part of the reason hatchery-bred fish do not survive long in the wild. An average of only 0.05 percent of Chinook Salmon raised and re­ leased by hatcheries in the upper Columbia River Basin return to spawn, DeVietti said. That's only five fish out of 10,000. "You might as well flush them , ' down the toilet," DeVietti said. Fish bom in the wild return to spawn at an average of about 3 percent (300 out of 10,000 Chi­ nook Salmon), he said. He believes this rate is tremendous, consider- ing hatcheries have a 90 percent ^ survival rate from the time hatch­ ery eggs hatch until they grow into smolt, or mature fish. In the wild 1 this survival rate is about 8 percent. "Hatchery people have jobs to do and they do a marvelous job at it," DeVietti said. 'The problem is the fish don't survive once they are thrown out into the wild." In most Washington fish hatcher­ ies, DeVietti said, salmon are reared in long concrete holding tanks, or "raceways," approximately 80 feet long. They are fed daily by workers who approach the side of the tanks and throw pellets into the water. DeVietti calls this form of feeding "boarding-house style." He has seen hatchery fish come racing to the side of the tank to the worker feed­ ing them. "The fish know if they aren't there then they won't get fed," DeVietti said. "Why should they hide?" The Leavenworth tank is differ­ ent because plywood strips cover the tank and automatic feeders spo­ radically "burp" pellets to the fish. When people approach now, the fish hide. In the hatchery experiment, the workers from Central will take four samples from both the standard hatchery stockandtheother groups (innovative treatment and regular hatchery stock) during April, June, August and October of 1994 and run them through a behavioral pro­ file. The fish lab in the Psychology Building is an artificial stream for evaluating fish behavior. The stream is a tank 8 feet long, 2 feet wide and 2 feet tall. The lab was created to measure the differences between wild fish and hatchery fish by controlling water current temperature and structure within the tank. Through these experiments, DeVietti and his colleagues hope to answer two questions. First, does the treatment produce a different behavior in the fish? Second, when is the fish's critical learning pe­ riod? With this new data DeVietti hopes to have new ways to improve the hatchery system. "If you look at the data coming out of the Columbia River system, lllliiiilllil University Relations/Special To The Observer How this fish was raised might have an affect on its survival in the wild. A team of Central staff members Is currently researching this possibility in both the Psychology Building and at a fish hatchery in Leavenworth. it is just terrible, DeVietti said. As a psychologist, DeVietti fo­ cuses on behavioral tendencies. If he isolates the conditions affect­ ing how and when the wild fish develop survival behaviors, hatch­ eries could mimic those conditions, he said But the hatchery fish are not sur­ viving as well, and DeVietti has observed the behavior patterns of the fish as very different "You've got two different geno­ types," DeVietti said. "It's hatch­ ery stock versus wild stock, and it's their different rearingen viron- ments. It's nature versus nurture, genotype versus environment" . The basis of DeVietti's experi­ ments evolved from a study re­ cently conducted over a two-year period by the Yakima Indian Na­ tion. The study took fertilized wild Chinook eggs and reared them as hatchery fish. Those participating in the study released the fish as smolt into the upper Yakima River and collected data as the fish trav­ eled about 80 miles down the river. Like hatchery-reared fish, the sur­ vival rate was very low as they migrated down the river. Whether the fertilized eggs were wild or hatchery-produced was a factor, DeVietti said. "Basically, the environment a smolt is raised in will affect its ability to survive in the wild." "It's like raising a puppy in a Seattle apartment, then taking the dog into the woods and leaving him there," DeVietti said. "He's not going to make it home." Reproducing conditions from a wild fish ecosystem in hatcheries could produce a fish better suited for release, DeVietti said. DeVietti has observed how wild fish remain Sow in the water, use cover to protect themselves, and often stop and rest on the stream floor. Hatchery fish, on the other hand, remain high in the water, swim 24 hours a day, and never use cover. "That's the thing that jumps out at me," DeVietti said. "If you're high in the water column in clear sight of predators, you're dead." During experiments in the lab, a "threat stimuli," or artificial hawk, is moved over the tank during feed­ ing periods. The wild fish immediately find cover for up to 10 minutes. The hatchery fish become very active for two to three seconds, then con­ tinue to feed, according to the re­ sults of DeVietti's experiment "I've seen ravens and garter snakes take hatchery smolts," DeVietti said. "The smolts do not have a clue. "Nature is tough on these fish." We don't 6eat our Bllensburg Music Shoppe i for Musicians We just Beat anyone's price! 213 W4th BH 925-9349 1 SALE!

The opinions here do not necessarily reflect those of the university. Unsigned editorials and cartoons represent the opinions of a majority of The Observer editorial board. Advantages of 'three strikes' outweigh its disadvantages Now that the "three strikes, you're out" law has had time to take effect in Washington, voters are beginning to realize the law they so strongly supported will send some not-so-violent criminals to prison for life. In one case, a man faces his third "strike" for the holdup of a sandwich shop for $151. He is accused of pretending to have a gun by concealing a pointed finger inside his coat pocket. His first two strikes were for robbery neither involved a gun. Other downfalls are suspects' increased resistance to arrest and unwillingness to plea bargain in an attempt to avoid "strikes." Nevertheless, the federal government estimates 6 percent of crimi­ nals commit 70 percent of all crimes. In Washington state alone, projections show the law will send approximately 70 people to prison for life annually. Considering all the violent crimes reported on television news, and the vast majority of crimes which never even make headlines— although not all of them are violent—the "three strikes, you're out" law is a way to remove the threat of violence from the everyday pressures of societal living. If our society is free from worry about violence, if people are free from wohry about surviving day to day without being a victim of violence, society is then free to concentrate on solutions to other problems. An enormous amount of energy and enthusiasm would be available to channel to other causes. Our justice system prior to "three strikes, you're out" was designed to keep criminals off the streets and out of mainstream society. Considering the amount of public support for a law which takes a tougher stance, it obviously didn't do its job. 'Three strikes, you're out" was designed to take up the slack in the justice system. It was designed to send people to prison who, as determined by their violent criminal records, deserved to be there. More than that, it was designed to keep them there—for life. Granted, some people will fall through the system's cracks under this new law, just as they did before it was in effect, and granted, some people whom voters did not intend to punish when this law was passed will be punished. But it's not as if no one has been punished undeservingly under the old system, either. No law, because of its general nature, can contain a provision for every circumstance. "Three strikes, you're out" is not perfect, but it's better than the alternative. Diane M. Schuirman Beliefs ought to be shared To the Editor: This is in regards to Jennifer Mutch's letter, "Silence Encour­ ages Illegal Protest." I am a Central student and a mem­ ber of Chestnut Street Baptist Church. Though I don't fully agree with my church's beliefs about abor­ tion, I feel we have a right to be heard. Our church members are only human, and as humans, we make mistakes. Due to our enthusiasm about sharing our beliefs, we for­ got to get the necessary sign per­ mit. I wonder if Jennifer would have been so eager to point that out if we had displayed a less controversial issue or one she agreed with. Nonetheless, we rectified our er­ ror when it was pointed out to us. Another item I take issue with is she implies our "one out of three" statistic is inflated. As a student at Central, I have written numerous research papers and have seldom found statistics from different sources to exactly match. Even as­ suming 28 percent is the only cor­ rect answer, one out of three is not too misleading. Jennifer states,"Symbolically pro­ testing abortion can have a nega­ tive impact on residents and Cen­ tral students." Whenever I hear a student advocate censorship, I am shocked. To become free-thinking individuals we should listen to all viewpoints, not only the ones we agree with. At my church, we feel we have the responsibility to share our beliefs with others. On the positive side, Jennifer is to be commended because she had the courage to ask our pastor for our viewpoint. I feel others should share her courage. Michael D.

It is an idea which should have never left the meeting floor. I ask all to think what would hap­ pen if this were instead a Ms. Cen­ tral contest Imagine the ramifica­ tions. This paper would be flooded with letters. RHC would receive phone calls, be accused of being sexist and a general uproar around cam­ pus would quickly quell any spark of the idea. Instead, this contest is veiled in the shroud of being a male contest While I will say I know nothing other than there is no swimsuit por­ tion of this event, the concept in itself infuriates me. I cannot say enough how much of a furor would be created if this was a Ms. Central contest I don't care what this is about. If it be about personality or looks or mental ability, it does not matter. If women want the equality of not being compared by men, do not compare men to each other. Each individual is a unique entity in himself. The Mr. Central contest will create an atmosphere in the residence halls which will destroy someone's self-worth. Is destroying that one person's self-esteem worth the few days of publicity the organization and the "winner" will get? Billy Wagner student Money real reason dietary request denied To the Editor: During fall quarter, my roommate and I were denied our request to drop our housing meal plan by Auxiliary Services Director Rob Chrisler. We made this request because we are extremely health conscious and work out religiously to reach our goals of lower body fat percentage and higher energy. We felt very limited by the dining hall and wished to cook healthy meals for ourselves, which would be quite easy in Quigley Hall. Mr. Chrisler's reasons for the de­ nial were lack of a serious medical reason and Dining Services' belief they could supply us with our needs. Nowhere in the housing contract does it state you must have a medi­ cal reason. Auxiliary Services pulled that policy out of thin air. Of course, Mr. Chrisler's retort is that it may not be in the contract, but neither is dropping the meal plan because you don't like the food. Dining Services dietitian Pam Mahre, in a letter to Mr. Chrisler, told him we were ignorant about our dietary needs because wedidn't see her for help. Well, I do know most half-way decent entrees have between 30 to 50 grams of fiat and even the low calorie salad dressings have 12 grams of fat per serving. Good luck being healthy on that. As you can see, they don't give us too much credit. * Since the director first made his decision, we have asked that he reconsider. The contract says any student can cancel their meal plan by obtaining a director's exemption. No contract should be based on an exemption because Chrisler has continued to use this to hide the real reason for his denial which we just wish he had admitted in the first place: MONEY! Attention students living on cam­ pus! You're being used for your seemingly never-ending flow of cash. * We could have forged a doctor's note as others have done and been done with it Unfortunately, we decided to con­ form to Chrisler's wishes by re­ ceiving approval of our diet plan by thedirectoroftheuniversity'sclinic * himself. In return, we were treated conde­ scendingly and none too seriously. The only reason a mature, col­ lege-age student can cook for him­ self in the dorm, according the Chrisler's way of thinking, is if his ' thyroid is about to blow up. Otherwise, he or she probably has too much cash in his bonk account which both Auxiliary and Dining Services feel they need to help clear out I David Barrett student Language offensive To the Editor: I was offended at the language I found in your Feb. 3 paper. As I was reading the ads, I noticed on the back page a notice for students to buckle up. Unfortunately, this warning was accompanied by a word I find very offensive. I agree sometimes people need to be reminded to buckle up when driving, but also feel you could have found a better way to express yourself. I have found language is a good judge of character, and will be cautious in the future as to whether I will read or recommend your paper. Please keep in mind there are many people who feel as I do and would appreciate a paper which has clean language. Elaine Fox
The Observer Thursday, February 17,1994 Pages m m MORE LETTERS «• Students dissatisfied with chosen speakers To the Editor: We find it contradicting the ASCWU and Augmented Services will invite speakers Ice-T and Dr. Ruth Westheimer to Central when a task force is being formed to ad­ dress violence on our campus (The Observer, Feb. 3,1994) and when studies show high levels of STD's among Central students {The Ob­ server, Jan. 27,1994). Centra] has a growing problem with violence and promiscuous sex, yet the ASCWU and Augmented Services pour gasoline on the fire by inviting two people who pro­ mote Central's problems. We find Ice-T and Dr. Ruth to hold views quite different from our own, but at the same time we respect them as talented people. Respecting authority andmitiog to have inter­ course until marriage are values that can only be ^positive step for our society. Nevertheless, Ice-T's and Dr. Ruth's views which promote un­ lawful violence and promiscuous sex, respectively, are not ideas we think need to be promoted, nor do many of our peers. We feel our education, values and views are not being addressed through guest speakers invited to lecture at Central. We would like to begin to see an effort toward bal­ ance in the selection of our campus lecturers. Speakers such as Colin Powell and Dr. Josh McDowell would begin to balance the scales. We feel speakers like these would be engaging and useful to more of the student body. We again appeal to the ASCWU and Augmented Ser­ vices to invite speakers who sup­ port the above positive values.

Page 6 Thursday, February 17,1994 The Observer by Joanne Home Staff reporter Despite the work of operating a movie theater and commuting from Farmington, N.Y., to Ellensburg, Keith Riexinger, owner of the Grand Central The­ atre, has a positive attitude toward his job. "I think it's going extremely well," Riexinger said. 'The town is real receptive and the college is real receptive." While Riexinger currently lives in New York, he comes to Ellensburg about every two weeks, every time the Grand Central The­ atre receives a movie that hasn't been shown in other theaters. Driving across the country takes about two days without stops, but it is usually his transportation of choice because flying is more ex­ pensive, he said. He doesn't find the commute stressful however, the weather complicates driving, Riexinger said. He has experienced wind-chilled temperatures of 80 degrees below zero while driving through North Dakota, he said. Riexinger has thought about re­ locating to Ellensburg, but feels it would be difficult for his family, he said. Mmii tmm m en Finnell/The Observer Grand Central Theatre owner Keith Riexinger loads the film projection machine. He is married and has three chil­ dren who are 7,5and 3 years old. He will not be relocating soon, he said. Making a move across the country will take time. Riexinger came to watch the Ellensburg Rodeo for the first time in 1992. He heard about the rodeo from relatives in Cle Elum and Roslyn. Riexinger liked Ellensburg and picked up a real estate flier, he said. 'The people here are nice and receptive to a new guy," Riexinger said. He bought theGrandCentral The­ atre about three months ago and reopened it Nov. 24. Riexinger also owns three store­ fronts, which are small businesses separate from the theater but on the same block, he said. Riexinger is a building contractor in New Yoik and liked the build­ ing the Grand Central Theatre is housed in when he saw it. ,-vs It was the worst looking building in town, he said, but he liked the architecture and thought it had the potential to be an attractive build­ ing. He also boards and (rains horses in New York, he said. The horses he trains are eventually sold. In fact, he sold a Palomino Quar­ ter Horse to obtain the down pay­ ment for the Grand Central The­ atre. The movie business just happened to be a way to pay the theater mort­ gage, Riexinger said. His plans for the future are clear. He wants to fix up the interior of the theater and show what he thinks are quality films, he said. "Our (the theater's) goal is to get a decent facelift on the inside," Riexinger said. He doesn't want the theater to show movies that have shown be­ fore in other theaters, he said. *1 don't want to follow the Lib­ erty (Theatre)," he said. "Compe­ tition is good for a town." He would also like to add ah addi­ tional screen so he could show a wider selection of movies, he said. However, he doesn't know where that screen would go, he said. When Riexinger bought the the­ ater, he was told its screen was the biggest one in Kittitas County, he said. "I won't let anyone change the big screen," Riexinger said. inU. S. by David Scott Seay Staff reporter The first thing Jean Ellie Gilles noticed when he got off the plane in Seattle was the beauty and tran­ quility of America. "The moon was shining in the sky and there was beautiful classi­ cal music playing on the radio ..." said Gilles, 30, an exchange stu­ dent from Haiti who is studying English as a second language at Central. "It was very relaxing," Gilles said. America has been a welcome change for Gilles in comparison to the suffering his native Haiti has endured under the United States •'trade embargo and internal politi­ cal strife, he said. Gilles has been both a teacher and student in several parts of the world. He has taught French and music appreciation in Haiti, and he has traveled and studied in France and Switzerland. "I have been all over France ... from north to south ... all over the country," Gilles said. In fact, Gilles and his sponsor, Nancy Nelson of Richland, Wash., met in Nice, France, where Gilles was teaching vocal music at a French school. Nelson was playing piano for the school choir. "Nancy said I had to improve my English if I was going to teach ... she sponsored me to come here and study," Gilles said. Nelson serves as a friend and mentor to Gilles while he is in the United States. "Nancy is like a mother to me... she checks on me.... It is good for my family to know I am not alone here," Gilles said. Gilles' family in Haiti includes his mother, a younger brother, his adopted daughter and his grand­ child. He also has an older brother who lives in New York City. "My big brother was on the other side of the coup d'6tat (the at­ tempted military takeover of the Haitian government) and was in prison for 18 months ...," Gilles said. "He fled to America but wants to go back to Haiti... he can't because of the political situation," Gilles said. Gilles visited his brother when he and Nelson traveled to New York City to talk to contacts at the French Library about Gilles' book of po­ etry. Gilies' book, "Dialogues des Soupirs,"was translated by Nelson. It was printed by a small publish­ ing company and has English and French versions of Gilles' work. Gilles occasionally gives signed copies of his book to friends. While at Central, Gilles plans to further his musical talent by en­ rolling in voice and piano classes next quarter. "I would also like to learn to ski," Gilles said. Gilles has used part of his time in the United States to indulge his love of opera. "I saw 'Cats' in New York and 'Cinderella' in Seattle," Gilles said. Gilles noticesdifferences between the United States and Haiti. Objects Americans take for granted, such as compact discs, books of appliances, are difficult or impossible to get in Haiti, Gilles said. In Gilles' hometown of Gacmel, it's impossible to get most things, he said. "While I am here, I want to buy classical music, jazz, rock and roll, and books," Gilles said. Another difference between Haiti and America is the people's in­ volvement in politics. Haitians are much more political, Gilles said. "Politics, politics, it is all politics in Haiti," he said. Gilles doesn't mind living in Carmody-Munro Hall, even though he has his own home in Haiti. "I spent two years in the seminary to be a Episcopal priest," Gilles said. "I am used to living with other people." "My roommate is very nice ..." he said. "He makes sure I am okay and things are going well." "He made sure I had things like blankets that I didn't bring from Haiti," he said. 'The food is good, too," Gilles said. "Many people told me food in America would not be good, but I pick my own plate every day at Holmes Dining Hall and it is fine," he said. Gilles is enjoying, his stay in America and he doesn't find the culture shockingly difficult, he said. "Wherever you go, people are the same—if there is deception there is deception " he said. "It isn't just America. It is everywhere." , "People are usually good and kind ... wherever you find them," Gilles said. w.w.v.ui m&m. •m Comet Brower/The Observer Jean Eiiie Giiies, a Haitian exchange student, lounges in his room listening to music.

The student waits and waits, but the telephone never rings. This student is in volved in a long distance relationship, a relation­ ship that could involve steamy love letters and irequent phone calls, but also worry, stress and mistrust "It (long distance relationships) is a common discussion topic in class," said Owen Dugmore, asso­ ciate professor of psychology and instructor of Psychology 235, an interpersonal and relationship de velopment class. "One person in a relationship tends to love more," Dugmore said "What that means is there is go ing to be a person who feels less awful than the other about being separated," he said. Long distance relationships can hinge on trust and honesty. "In order to make a long distance relationship work, it's important for partners to know and trust each other," Dugmore said. 'There is no subsitute for being honest, feeling comfortable with one's self, and not being posses­ sive," he said. £ i i i i i i i i i i i I °° • c\i |Si (S 18- r i i i frofusi 1isfias O) °/c o AIINEXXUS Products J708 E. 8th (at the plaza) 9 2 5 - 21 7 7j T I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I 1 I I I I "1994 Award Wolff System First Class Tanning" § Enjoy 7 Tans for $15 j We are Wolff Systems ONLY! 4 ^ "First Class Tanning Salon in Kittitas County" We are one of only 4 awarded the honor in the entire state of Washington by Wolff System Technology Corp. 420 N.

These images are not found, how­ ever, at the National Invitational Contemporary Photography exhibit at the Sarah Spurgeon Art Gallery in Randall Hall. Though I am a great admirer of the older, dramatic styles of such art photographers as Ansel Adams, I am impressed with the fresher approach displayed by the works of the 10 featured contemporary artists. Most intriguing to me are the seven color photos from Seattle artist Janine Cook, four of which are from her "Calendar Series." One of the series photos shows a man with short, darkish-red hair. He has a crazy Hannibal Lechter face slightly pointed down with evil, psychotiG-eyes staring up­ ward. The man is naked except for underwear and is tightly wrapped in the cord of the electric knife he flaunts. This man is "Mr. March." The three other shots from the series are of the same scheme men, al­ most naked with an appliance of some kind. The funny part is each appliance brings out the subject's personal­ ity. "Mr. February" clutches a Cook 'O Matic mixer while wearing a matching metal bowl on his head. Cook uses unnaturally bright and vibrant colors to highlight areas of each photo while completely leaving out background details. A good example of this is "Wrenched," which must be seen in person to be appreciated. Other pieces in the exhibit in­ clude a series of 36 photos of Campbell's soup cans next to an­ other series of 36 photos of bowls of-Campbell's soup. These series were done by Japanese artist Masaru Nakamoto. Nakamoto has been influenced by "cheap science fiction movies," he said at a public lecture and slide show last week in Randall Hall. He cited the importance of "cheap staging of subjects." "Often pictures can be funny if they are obviously cheap," Nakamoto said, referring to a photo of a fish stuck in the sand, shot up close to make the fish look as if it were as large as the skyscrapers in the background. Other artists featured in the ex­ hibit are Suzanne Saylor, Michael Cleary, Greg McGregor, Heather Cox, Stu Levy, Terri Warpinski, Dan Powell and Thorn Tu Due. The exhibit leaves the Sarah Spurgeon Art Gallery March 4. SOMETHIN' FOR EVERYONE! Ellensburs 925-6941 8th & Anderson Hours: 11 am-1am Sun-Thurs 11 am-2am Fri & Sat Open for lunch everyday!

The Observer Thursday, February 17,1994 Page 9 SPORTS by Paul L. Williams Sports editor The Central wrestling squad won three of its first four matches and did something it hasn't done in pine years Friday: beat Simon Fraser University in a dual meet. "It was a big win for us," said head coach Greg Olson. "It's been about nine years since we beat Simon Fraser and now we've got a chance to have our first winning season since 1990." The Wildcats' 19-17 win over the defending NAIA champions brought their dual-meet record to 4-5 for the season. Gaining victories for Central were Chad Requa at 126 pounds, Jason Stevenson at 142 pounds, Adam Scanlon at 158 pounds and Jaime Petersonat 177 pounds. JasonBaril won by forfeit at 118 pounds. Olson pointed to Peterson's win as the key to winning the meet "Jamie Peterson had to win that match at 177 for us to win the meet and he did that," Olson said. Baril got the ball rolling for Cen­ tral with the forfeit Requa then defeated Anders Rloomgren of Simon Fraser 16-8 to give Central a 10-0 lead. * Joe Knox had a tougher time with his opponent, Mike Livingstone. With 36 seconds remaining in the second round, Livingstone took a 6-5 lead and held on, winning 14- 11. Knox aggravated a previous ankle injury in the match. "It's (the ankle injury) been a Brian Gill/The Observer Joe Knox stares down his opponent, looking for an opening. continuing problem for him all year," Olson said. Stevenson got the Wildcats back on track with a 5-1 win over Steve Rose, who took a 33-15 season record into the match. With the victory, Stevenson upped his record to 30-13, becoming the eighth Central wrestler to win 30 or more matches in one season. "I wanted to wrestle smart, be conservative," Stevenson said. "I didn't feel like I pushed as hard as Icouldhave,butIfeltlikeI wrestled a pretty smart match." Brett Lucas didn't fare so well, losing to Scott Austin 16-6. The decision made the score 13-7 in Central's favor. Scanlon then defeated Travis Himmelright 8-2. After Ryan Elsemore lost his match to Simon Kissinger, Peterson defeated Sam Bamdin 8-2. It wasPeterson's fifth win of the year and the last match the Wildcats won thatnight. Jason Vose and Paul Martinez both lost decisions by scores of 5-3 and 7-2, respectively. "Our first goal this week was to beat Simon Fraser and we did that," Olson said. "Our second goal is to have a winning season and to do that wehavetobeatbothPacific Lutheran University and SimonFraser again." Central defeated Pacific Lutheran 28-14 Jan. 26. The Wildcats will wrestle Pacific Lutheran again Fri­ day and travel to Simon Fraser Sat­ urday. Then it's off to Tacoma for districts Feb. 25. Nationals are March 11-12 in Butte, Mont. "I'm hoping to get wins in both weekend meets and be seeded high going into districts," Stevenson said. The Wildcats may be without Erik McDowell for the rest of the season. He has been out for more than a month with a knee injury. 'There's a real good chance he'll be done for the season," Olson said. 'That scares us because I think with him we would have a shot to be in the top three at nation­ als." career by Paul L. Williams Sports editor With a school-record 110 wins during his career, an argument couldbe made for Jason Stevenson being the best Central wrestler ever to step on the mat The senior from Ellensburg, double majoring in social science education and geography, has been wrestling since he was6 years old wrestling competively since he was 8 years old. "My mother wanted us to stay busy, so she took my brother Sandy andldown to the high school where theEllensburg Wrestling Club prac­ ticed," Stevenson said. The program where Stevenson started was sponsoredby Ellensburg High School. "It was just to give kids a taste of wrestling," Stevenson said. At 8 years old Stevenson started wrestling through the Ellensburg Wrestling Club and continued into high school. In his career at Ellensburg High School, he fin­ ished second in the state twice in the 141-pound weight class. His older brother Sandy also wrestled atEJELS. "We were two years apart and we wrestled in different weight classes," Stevenson said. Stevenson also spent some time mm*:- §Hi Ken Pinnell/The Observer Few opponents have been able to get the upper hand on Jason Stevenson in his career. on the football field in high school. From there he came to Central. "It was my only choice the only other college that had a wrestling program at the time was Pacific Lutheran University," Stevenson said. 'To tell you the truth I didn't think about college too much until the summer after I graduated." Stevenson redshirted his first year at Central and after the first few meets the next season as a redshirt freshman he made varsity in the 142-pound weight class. That sea­ son he advanced to nationals, but did not place. He endured his toughest season as a sophomore, the only year he did not qualify for nationals. "I did a lot of thinking after that season about what my goals were and how important wrestling was to me," Stevenson said. During his junior season, Stevenson moved up to the 150- pound weight class and placed sev­ enth at nationals. This year, after starting at 150 pounds, he decided to move back to the 142-pound weight class. "I have the best shot of accom­ plishing my goals at the 142-pound weight class," Stevenson said. He has been able to keep up his outstanding performances by look­ ing at the big picture instead of the immediate match, Stevenson said. "During the season you need to realize you're not going to be 'on' every match, and when you're go­ ing bad you've got to shake it off and get the next one," Stevenson said. Stevenson uses an aggressive, at­ tacking style when on the mat "My style of wrestling, the way I wrestle best, is when I'm aggres­ sive and physical," Stevenson said. In his career, Stevenson has faced many tough opponents, including an NCAA AH-American who wrestled for Boise State. "When I look back I don't think about the wrestling so much as the guys on the team," Stevenson said. "You make a lot of friends and take a lot of long road trips." The 110 wins is "more of a con­ sistency-type record and being healthy for four years," Stevenson said. "What keeps you going is a group of guys who don't wrestle varsity but they show up and you get a chance to wrestle different guys," Stevenson said. When his wrestling career is over after nationals, Stevenson hopes to getintocoaching. He will gradu­ ate this summer and starts his stu­ dent teaching spring quarter hi Fed­ eral Way.
m Page 10 Thursday, February 17,1994 The Observer Men defeat Seattle, shock Seattle Pacific by Chuck E. Case Staff reporter Central's men's basketball team beat league rival Seattle Univer­ sity in a battle for fourth place in the region with an 81-75 win Sat­ urday night at Nicholson Pavilion. The top four teams in the region host their first games in the re­ gional tournament March 2,5 and 9. The Wildcats were 4-5 in re­ gional play as of Sunday. Then on Monday, Central pulled off another huge upset over a na­ tionally ranked team. The Wild­ cats stunned Seattle Pacific Uni­ versity 66-59, ending the 22-game home-court winning streak of the lOth-ranked team in the NCAA Division II. Guard Ryan Pepper, a junior law and justice major, led the way Sat­ urday with 27 points, including a 12-for-14 effort from the free throw line. He also grabbed six rebounds. He had 16 points Monday against the Falcons. Central took advantage of four personal fouls by Seattle Saturday in the Hrst four minutes to take a 13-6 lead. Ryan Pepper scored seven points in the stretch. Junior forward Willie Thomas, a public relations major, also contributed to the run with an alley-oop jam from juniorguardDavidRockwood,also a public relations major. In the next four minutes Seattle went on a run of its own. Eton Pope's jumper ended a 13-1 run that gave the Chieftains a five- point lead Two and a half minutes later, Thomas jammed again to giveCen- ! tral a 23-21 lead, its last of the first half. Alayupby Seattle's Donyelle Frazier ended an 11-2 run to give Seattle a seven-point lead with 5:45 left in the half. Seattle'&lead grew to eight before Central came back in the final three minutes to close the deficit to 39-38 at halftime. Seattle started the second half by scoring four points to take a 43-38 lead. With 13:50 remaining, junior forward Vince Haggard, a com­ puter science major, converted two free throws to give Central a 50-48 lead. Central never relinquished the lead the rest of the night Tho­ mas' third jam with 8:36 left made it 67-58, Central's third nine-point lead in two minutes. Seattle came back in the next six minutes. With2:22 left,senior cen­ ter Wade Venters, a law and justice major, hurt his hip committing a blocking foul. Mychal Brown hit one of two free throws to make the score 72-70. Brown hit a three-pointer with 31 seconds left to close the margin to 76-75. Then Central hit five of eight free throws to clench the game. In addition to Ryan Pepper's 27 points,Thomas had 13 points and, along with Venters, led the Wild­ cats in rebounds with eight. Rockwood contributed II points and a game-high seven assists. Despite the fact Venters hurt his hip, assistant coach Jeff Albrecht said it won't hinder his play. "It's just a little nick," Albrecht . said. "Wade's a tough guy and he can handle it." This was a key league win and a good sign for the rest of the season, the team and its coaches said. "We lost to Western, but we've won four out of our last five," head coach Gil Coleman said. "I've been encouraged by our play down the stretch." Albrecht said, "A win like this will help us turn things around. This was a big win for us after losing so many close games." Thomas said the win was important for statistical reasons. "This win gives us a chance for third place and home-court advan­ tage for the postseason," he said. Thomas also issued a warning to other teams Central will play the rest of the season. "I'd like to tell other teams to watch out," Thomas said. "We're for real this time." The Wildcats backed this up by shocking Seattle Pacific. Four play­ ers, led by the 16 points of Ryan Pepper, scored in double figures. Tho­ mas added 15, Bryan Silver had 12 and Rockwood had 11. Rockwood also had seven assists and five steals in the contest Central is now 10-15 overall for the season. Tonight the Wildcats play in Tacoma against the University of Puget Sound. The Loggers have won both meetings between the two teams this season. WILDCAT NOTES: Central will be without junior guard Chico King, a business education major, for the re­ mainder of the season. He left the team Sunday forunspecifiedreasons. King is the fourth player to leave the team since the beginning of the sea­ son. Rockwood's effort Monday was on a broken foot His status is day-to- day, Coleman said. Ryan Pepper still leads the team in scoring, averaging 20.3 points per game. Thomas is second with 12.8 points a contest - •..SS5:«S m i • '•!

Although the Loggers won both the women's and men's meets, the Wildcats racked up some of their best times of the season. "It was an OK meet," said head coach Lori Clark." It could've been a lot better, but it was our best dual meet against Puget Sound. Over­ all, we showed improvement and you've got to like that." In diving action, Rob Nichols took first in both the one-meter and three-meter springboard events and qualified for nationals. Meanwhile, in the 400-yard med­ ley relay, it came down to a photo finish between Central's men's teams to decide second and third places.

Rod Cramer placed second in the 50-yard freestyle with an impres­ sive 0:22.26. Doughty was not far behind in third place with 0:22.54, and team captain Ben Olszewski finished fourth with 0:22.55. Central's Gary Ames took second in the 200-yard butterfly with 2:03.46, followed by Dave Kahler, who finished fourth with 2:10.26. Chris Bolla took fifth, finishing in 2.10.76. Central swimmers finished in a tightpackin the 100-yard freestyle. Olszewski finished in second place with an impressive 0:49.62. Peifer and Corn offered quite a challenge, but finished third and fourth with times of 0:49.87 and 0:49.88, respectively. The only othermen's victory came from the 400-yard freestyle relay team consisting of Cramer, Peifer, Doughty and Olszewski. Their time was 3:14.48. On the women's side, Central's Carianne Davis posted two victo­ ries: the 200-yard freestyle and the 200-yard breaststroke. Melissa Newman won two diving events.

Baldwin Staff reporter The Central women's basketball team struggled through another loss Saturday at the hands of the Uni­ versity of Puget Sound 84-60. The Wildcats are now 4-16 over­ all and 0-7 in league play for the season. The Wildcats started the first half slow and were behind44-25 at half- time. Despite an improvement in the second half, the margin was too wide to make up. "We got off to a slow start and were never able to recover in time," said head coach Nancy Katzer. The 'Cats shot only 34 percent from the floor in the contest. "Their (Puget Sound's) defense l l or call (509) 963-2314.

The Wildcats were outscored in the second half 35-30. Central was 0-8 from the three- point line. But, the Wildcats out- rebounded the Loggers 54-38. "With the rebounding total the way it was, you would think the game would be a lot closer, but that wasn't the case, we were missing the close shots, too," Katzer said. The Wildcats were led in scoring and rebounding by senior Kaiia Hawes, an education major, who had 16 points and 13 rebounds in the game. Puget Sound had a balanced scor­ ing attack led by Kelly Kaiser and Molly Avery, who both finished with 15 points. The Loggers had five players in double figures. The Central women's next game was in Lacey against the Univer­ sity of St. Martin's Feb. 15. Results were not available at press time.
