Nelson announced in an address to the university's classified staff members. CWU has received a letter of in­ tent from the Washington State Legislature to cut the 1995-1997 biannual budget by 2.4 percent, Nelson said in last week's address. Central has also been requested to prepare a summation by Oct. 10 of a scenario of 5 percent and 10 percent budget cuts by Gov. Mike Lowry. For the 1994-95 school year, Cen­ tral has been funded for 6,666 stu­ dents, but in fact has a total of 7,339 enrolled students. CWU has a known reputation of access for a diversity of students said Nelson. "It would be contrary to what we say we are to cut students," Nelson said. The job of dealing with the cuts has been no easy matter Nelson said. In the wake of cuts, Nelson would like to stress the fact that there are trying times ahead. "We are on the scrutiny, scrutiny, scrutiny." He said, "We don't want to lower morale. We don't want tosend out the message that we are targeting people." Nelson added that in the wake of the proposed cuts and in the face of adrive for higher education, a com­ bined effort of the Strategic Plan­ ning Committee and the Office of the President has derived a strate­ gic plan. According to the Central's Stra­ tegic Plan flyer, there are five pri­ mary principles for change: • Student learning shall remain the central mission of the »Xv ^"vXy.'v mm- mmm SAW::**: mm x* Ken Pinnell / The Observer Don't panic!

Nelson President ity: its staff, its students, its activi­ ties, its environment: shall remain. an ongoing goal. • Communication and reasoned debate of critical issues among the university's constituents shall be strengthened. • Improving the university's effi­ ciency, productivity and technol­ ogy will continue as one of the university's primary goals. It's not easy to deal with budget cuts, said Nelson. "We are concerned," he said. "If we have to made decisions, we are not making them callously, we're considering everyone's lives." Although CWU is in the wake of large budget cuts, capital funding was the highest ever in the last biannual at $96.6 million. How can Central afford this? Nelson said: "I need your help in getting out the message to every­ one that the costs of the buildings have nothing to do with operating Central. If we don't get new facili­ ties, we can't grow." Central is in a state of transition, Nelson said. He added CWU's students are no longer being compared with stu­ dents of universities from Wash­ ington, Oregon, or even nation­ ally students everywhere are be­ ing compared globally. People are starting to ask how well Central's students are pre­ pared for the work force. 'There is a newer arena for higher education," Nelson said. "We are in a changing mode, but are finding ourselves with less money." Although there is less money available, CWU is aiming at giv­ ing the best possible education for its community of students. Break-in at SeaTac Extended Degree Center costs Central $53,000 by Tim Yeadon News editor - Sixteen computer central processing units and keyboards valued at approximately $53,000 were stolen during a break-in at Central's SeaTacExtended Degree Center Center early last Sunday, said SeaTac coordinator Robert Edington. "While the damage to our new computer laboratory was superficial, the loss of the computer equipment is a real blow to our program," Edington said. "Our students depend on that lab for coursework in many of our classes," he said. The university must now determine how much it will cost to replace the stolen items, and "how we will find (the money)," Edington said. CWU, as a state agency, is self- insured, "which means we will have to pay for it out of our hides," he said. While replacement decisions are being made, SeaTac students may have limited access to computer labs at other colleges, Edington said. "We are discussing, with several nearby education institutions, arrangements that would allow Central students to use computer facilities on a temporary basis," he said. The new CWU center, which opened just last month, is located in a newly refurbished portion of the old Glacier High School building. The SeaTac Center serves more than 500 students annually, with upper-division coursework leading to bachelor's degrees in early childhood education, law and justice, business administration and accounting, Edington said. In 1994,165 students graduated from Central's south-side extended degree program, which was located on the campus of South Seattle Community College until the September opening of the new SeaTac facility at the beginning of fall quarter. King County Police are investigating the burglary, Edington said.
Page 2 Thursday, October 13,1994 The Observer 'Big Brother ' policeman, abortion counselor? by Doug Conner Los Angeles Times SEATTLE - Americans are al­ ways on the lookout for that old political bogyman, Big Brother. But citizens in Washington state may wonder if the Orwellian vi­ sion of someone eternally butting in has come to pass. Lost and a little late for a pre- abortion procedure at a clinic last summer, Justin Cooper, 20, and Deanna Thomas, 18, say they were pulled over by a state patrol­ man while admittedly doing 75 m.p.h. on the freeway. After tell­ ing him where they were headed and why, they say, Patrolman Lane W. Jackstadt, 34, kept them on the shoulder of the road for45 minutes, holding onto Cooper's license while encouraging them to forgo the abortion and con­ sider the alternatives. Then, they say, Jackstadt led them 20 miles to a house where a counselor appeared with litera­ ture and more talk about abor­ tion alternatives. Convinced the patrolman was no longer around to follow them, they finally left for the appointment, hours late. During a recent news conference the couple nervously read prepared statements, their lawyer, Franklin W. Shoichet, said the pair was in­ timidated and went along with Jackstadt because of his "abuse of power" and his "jackboot tactics." The state attorney general's of­ fice will review the case starting as early as this week, which Shoichet thinks should include felony un­ lawful imprisonment. Jackstadthas not spoken publicly and has been reassigned to desk duty while the investigation continues. !v!vX iv'Sivi: MS i Moore proposes internal search for dean • Citing economic conditions of Washington as one reason, Provost Thomas Moore proposed Monday that the search for a new dean of one of the CLAS colleges be confined to Central. 'The timing and the economic conditions of the state make the prospect of attracting a candidate problematic," said Moore. Moore said he hopes the new dean can be in place by Jan. 1,1995. "It is important for the institution as a whole that we not go into next year (1995-96) searching for a new dean," he said.

The Observer Thursday, October 13,1994 Page 3 Board of Trustees New pagoda donated by Sanda City meet Friday to by Yasuko Maruta Staff reporter A gesture of long-lasting friend­ ship was received by Central with the dedication of the Goju-no-to Pagoda that was dedicated in the Japanese Garden by the SandaCity, Japan, Rotary Club. The Goju-no-to (translation: five- storied) Pagoda stands over seven feet high and weighs approxi­ mately 950 poiiods, and is worth $15,000. Approximately 50 people at­ tended the ceremony including President Ivory V. Nelson, and Mr. Mamoru Omae and his wife, Mrs. Miychiyo Omae, the Japanese rep­ resentatives of Rotary Club, and emissary of Sanda City, Mayor Toshita. "The pagoda makes the Japanese Gar­ den look like a real japanese garden," —Junko Funaki junior, art major "We recognize that this garden is a tangible reminder of the immense value of being open to cultures different from our own," Nelson said. Central students are exposed to new ideas and different cultures, and can educate themselves toward a world view, said Nelson. Following Nelson's speech, Omae said, the citizens of Sanda City are hoping people will learn about Japan and its culture through the Japanese Garden. This understanding will enhance the friendship between young American and Japanese people, said Omae. The gardener who made the pa­ goda was worried if it would be set up in the right way, Omae said. - v".7A*,"rv University Relations photo by Matt Burke Standing over seven feet tali and weighing approximately 950 pounds, this pagoda was a gift given to Central by the Sanda City Rotary Club. Sanda City became Eilensburg's sister city in April 1992 formed to enhance the friendship between young American and Japanese people. However, in the ceremony, ev­ eryone was deeply impressed to see the wonderful pagoda placed on the ground, Omae said. "The pagoda makes the Japanese Garden look like a real japanese garden," said Junko Funaki, a jun­ ior art major. The friendship between the Kittitas County and Sanda City inititated when the two communi­ ties proclaimed the establishmentof sistercommunity relations on April 6,1992. "I don't want the sister program to burn like a fire, because it (will then) burn out," Mayor Toshita said at the signing of the 1992 agreement. "I want it to be like a river, which flows forever." Jerry Williams, chair of the Kittitas-Sanda City Friendship committee, hopes the people of the two'communities wiHbe able to have social, sport, academic, and economic exchanges through the establishmentof the sister com­ munities. "Not only will the pagoda en­ hance the garden, but it will also become a part of our community like the Ellensburg Bull down­ town," Williams said.

Central is proposing a 1995-97 operating budget of $146 million, which includes a requested $104 million in state and local general funds. The $ 104 million request includes $91 million to carry forward Central's current service to stu­ dents, plus $13 million in "request packages" to achieve, equitable funding of current enrollment, com­ puting and library upgrades, and the ability to enroll more students. Top priority projects in Central's capital budget request of $96.6 million for 1995-97 are the reno­ vation of Black Hall, construction of off-campus center facilities on community college campuses re­ model and addition to Hertz Hall, CWU library and Hogue Technol­ ogy Building construction of phase II of a science facility and predesign of Nicholson Pavilion phase III. The Board of Trustees granted preliminary approval to the bien­ nial budget requests at their June meeting in Ellensburg. The 1995-97 budget requests will be forwarded to Gov. Mike Lowry's office this month in prepa­ ration for the January 1995 legisla­ tive session. President Ivory V. Nelson will brief the governing board on cam­ pus food service planning, Foun­ dation relations, budget cut plan­ ning and strategic planning. Trustees will also hear reports on the schematic design of a new sci­ ence facility, the status of financial aid for CWU students, and the de­ velopment of a campus master parking plan. Board members will consider motions to accept two completed capital projects: Auxiliary Services parking lots and chilled water ex­ pansion for the Language and Lit­ erature Building.

Thursday.October 13,1994 The Observer News editor ripped via memo for coverage of Campus Cops University Police Chief Steve Rittereiser will no longer meet with me regarding Campus Cops. In a memorandum dated Oct. 7, Rittereiser stated: "The Campus Cops section of the Oct 6 edition of the Observer was not only inaccurate with misquotes, but showed a reckless disregard for the victims involved in several of the incidents? Continuing: "I was extremely disappointed with your lack of concern for the feelings of the individuals involved in these matters. The news of crime on campus should stand on its own merits and not be used as entertainment with the Writer attempting to make light of significant and sometimes tragic events." Sorry kids, but Campus Cops is dead. -Tim Yeadon Taco Bell 'excellent idea To the Editor: In regards to your Oct 6 article on the Taco Bell going into Central's SUB, I think that it is an excellent idea. That way students who live on campus and have a meal plan will be able to use one of their meals on their meal cards to go to Taco Bell, and have lunch or dinner for say six points, something that is very similar to what the Depot Deli and Studio East Dining Halls are currently doing. In regards to local merchants say­ ing that they will lose money over this, I think it is a bunch of hot air. The reason I say this is because students that go to Central and live off campus are not going out to eat their meals at restaurants. Students are on a very fixed income and when it comes to eating, those who live off campus arc going grocery shopping at stores such as Mr. G's, Albertson's, Safeway, etc. to get their food so they can eat at home. The students that live on campus are already paying around $6 or so a meal at the dining halls, so they aren't going out to eat at restau­ rants anyway. If the Taco Bell comes in and students that live on campus are given the choice to use their meal cards at the restaurant in the SUB, it would only be fair because Taco Bell is something that is in for the students of Central. The people who do go out to res­ taurants and eat are the people that live in Ellensburg, and they are not college students because the col­ lege students are not able to afford to go out and eat at the restaurants here in Ellensburg. I do most of my shopping at Mr. G's for things like toothpaste, de­ odorant, and I'd do a lot more there also, but since I live on campus and have a meal plan, I don't have to. If Mr. G's wants to be this rednecked about letting a Taco Bell in, then maybe it's time for me to switch stores to shop. Plus, I have not gone out to eat at restaurants here in Ellensburg be­ cause being a full-time college stu­ dent and on a very fixed income, I can't afford to go out and eat on the town. Bottom line—Having a Taco Bell on campus will not hurt or have any effect on the local businesses, and it is something that the students would like to see.

I would like to address two primary issues, those being inaccurate statements made by the incumbent during recent candidate forums, and "election- year changes" made by the incum­ bent. There have been some local fo­ rums in Kittitas County to give the citizens the opportunity toquestion the various sheriff candidates. One topic raised was the lack of 24-hour coverage within the county. The incumbent began stating that it was not fiscally possible to have 24- hour coverage without another $80,000 to cover additional staff­ ing. All three of his opponents, including Mr. Eberle, stated that . the matter could be handled by re­ arranging the current schedules, including Mr. Eberle (a deputy) moving his schedule to cover the open hours. The incumbent changed his response at later meetings to state that an additional $40,000 would be needed for staffing, then that the current OR V deputies were covering the hours (even though their hours still left a gap in the coverage, not giving 24-hour cov­ erage). Recently, Mr. Eberle's schedule was changed to provide early-morning coverage. Where was the need for the extra $80,000 or $40,000 that the incumbent in­ sisted was needed? It appears that the incumbent doesn't understand KCSO's staffing. The public was also concerned about the matter of minority repre­ sentation within the Sheriffs Of­ fice. If you believe the incumbent, the department is represented by minorities. He stated that there was a minority line deputy and that half of the corrections staff was female. The fact is that his "minority line deputy" did NOT apply through civil service as a minority and does not claim minority status. Of 15 personnel in corrections, four are female. Even modern math cannot get 50 percent out of thatnumber. It isn't surprising that the incumbent wouldn' t know the numbers in cor­ rections. A female corrections of­ ficer went to his officeand he didn't know her, even though she had worked there for well over a year. The fact is that he avoids the jail and even made the statement that he was "in the jail hiding" to avoid the press during a recent case. Aside from the change concern­ ing 24-hour coverage, for quite some time minimum staffing in the jail was two. One officer must al­ ways be in the Control Room and CANNOT leave for any reason. The other officer is the floor of­ ficer, performing the routine work of jail checks, booking inmates, distributing meals, etc. If the floor officer or inmates were involved in an altercation or other disturbance, there wasno way toget immediate assistance. The CR officer had to call for aid. In the time it could take to get help to the floor officer, that officer, or an inmate, could be dead or a hostage. Since the election started up, the corrections staff was told that minimum staffing would be three. However, that is only ar­ bitrarily practiced — sometimes minimum staffing is three, some­ times still only two. This is danger­ ous to the corrections staff, as well as the inmates. I strongly feel that too many of the citizens of Kittitas County are unaware of the political games being played by the current sheriff. We cannot afford another four years of the current adminis­ tration, with his lack of concern for his staff and the citizens. We don't need a politician as sheriff. We need a concerned and experienced sheriff. Noella Wyatt Ellensburg resident Taco Bell would benefit, not hurt, business To the Editor: The last time I (Jhecked there were over 7,000 undergraduate students at CWU. This extra amount of con­ sumers occurs only nine months out of the year. When this is looked at from an economic standpoint it shows just how dependent the local businesses are on CWU. This school is planning to open its enrollment to a thousand more stu­ dents each year for the next five years. This influx of new consum­ ers will induce a positive shift in the demand schedule of all the lo­ cal merchants. The price a con­ sumer is willing and able to pay will also increase. Thus local mer­ chants will be able to increase prof­ its over the next five years without lifting a finger. Local merchants such as Mr. Perrie, who would be in competi­ tion with a Taco Bell, would actu­ ally benefit from a campus loca­ tion. A Taco Bell would attract those extra students this school needs. As I said previously more consumers means more profits. Not all 7,000 students could fit in one Taco Bell. Kittitas County has an unemploy­ ment rate of 13 percent. This is one of the highest rates in the nation and students are not included. Who do you thinkis spending the money in Ellensburg?

The Observer Thursday, October 13,1994 Page 7 Health care reform isn't dead statistics show the need won't go away by Donna E. Shalala The L.A. Times News Service When a newspaper reporter asked Mark Twain in 1897 to respond to the news of his death, he said: "Re­ ports of my death have been greatly exaggerated." Like Twain's demise, the death of health care reform has been greatly exaggerated. There are, of course, those who would like to believe that the national movement for health reform is dead and buried. After all, special interest groups spent more than $60 million on an advertising blitz that left many Americans dazed and more than a little confused. And, according to Newsweek magazine, those oppo­ nents spent more than $300 million to defeat health care reform in 1994. But wishing reform dead won't make it so because there are impor­ tant reasons why this effort will con­ tinue. So, in the tradition of the sage political pundit David Letterman, let me offer "Donna Shalala's Top Ten Reasons Why We Should Keep Health Care Reform Alive." No. 10. Health spending is multi­ plying faster than TV talk shows. Americans will spend $982 billion on health care services in 1994, or nearly 14 percent of our gross do­ mestic product If prices keep rising as they have, we'll spend $2.1 tril­ lion on health care in 2003, or 20 percent of our GDP. In other words, one in every five dollars we spend will be on health care. No. 9. There are more Americans living without health insurance than there are Elvis sightings. Today, an estimated 39 million Americans have no health insur­ ance at all, or 14.7 percent of our total population. In the last five years, five million Americans have lost their insurance. If we do noth­ ing, by the year 2003 the total will grow to 43 million, or 15.7 percent of the total. No. 8. Employer-paid health in­ surance is disappearing faster than the Statue of Liberty at a David Copperfield magic show. Today, an estimated 58.S percent of working Americans get health insurance from their employers. By 2003, that will drop to 55.8 percent of workers. No. 7. Did you hear the one about the $24 aspirin? Well, maybe not $24, but the price is going up quickly. Under our current system, hospitals must care for anyone in need. So, as we must care for an increasing num­ ber of uninsured patients, hospi­ tals shift those costs to those of us who have insurance. In 1980, that cost shift averaged 20 percent. By 1992, it was up to 31 percent. No. 6. Numbers don't lie. Much has been made in the last year about the alleged slowing of health care inflation. Some have gone so far as to say that health care reform isn't needed because the market will correct itself. A closer look at these trends tells a veiydifferentstoiy. Between 1980 and 1993, the average difference between medical prices and overall prices was 3 percentage points. In 1993, the difference was 2.9 percentage points. That's progress, but not much. No. 5. The jawbone isn't mightier than the pen. History requires us to wonder how much of this moderation in prices is real and how much of it is a result of the "jawboning effect" of the national debate overreform. rfJOHSEBlfc, P INDEPENDENT Three times in the last 20 years, medical spending has taken a simi­ lar dip during periods of intense national debate. Each time, as soon as the debate was over, and the special interests had won, prices went right back to their former pace. Can Americans and their employers afford another riverboat gamble? I don't think so. No. 4. What goes down, must stay down. In 1993, President Clinton and Congress enacted the most far- reaching deficit reduction package in our nation's history. As a result, the federal budget deficit has de­ clined in each of the last three years. And the deficit has been reduced by half as a percentage of the gross national product. By putting the deficit on the decline, the president has led our economy to its stron­ gest growth in 20 years. Yet, the one area of the federal budget that is not under control is health care costs. And if we fail to control those costs the deficit will begin to explode again. No. 3. Because life is a pre-exist­ ing condition. When insurance companies deny coverage to a person or a group of people simply because they are con­ sidered to be at risk of getting sick, they call it redlining. I call it discrimination. An estimated 81 million Americans have some form of pre-existing medical condition that makes it hard or impossible for them to get coverage. None of these practices have stopped in fact, they're likely to become even more commonplace if we don't change the rules. No. 2. An Ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. As secretary of health and human services, I speak out frequently about the need for Americans to take re­ sponsibility for their health by pre­ venting disease instead of simply treating its symptoms. But how can we ask people to take greater re­ sponsibility if our system continues to be skewed toward "sick care" instead of "health care." Nearly ev­ ery health reform proposal puts pre­ vention firstby paying for such things as mammograms, Pap smears, physi­ cals and immunizations. No. 1.

Page 8 Thursday, October 13,1994 The Observer High marks, praise for the American military in Haiti The Los Angeles Times News Service The following editorial appeared in Monday's Los Angeles Times: Troop transports overshoot the air­ port or land on the wrong island. Dozens of American soldiers are caught in an ambush and sent home in body bags. An American platoon, overheated from all the tension of being on the uncertain ground of a foreign land, inadvertently wipes out a small vil­ lage and creates an instant anti- American "cause celebre." These are the scenes of horror that dog America whenever foreign in­ tervention is proposed. These are the visions that keep U.S. military planners awake at night as they contemplate the risky mission that has been assigned them. And, indeed, if any one of these nightmare scenarios had occurred in Haiti, can't you just imagine the headlines? And all the second guessing (and, yes, all the critical newspaper edi­ torials)? But none of this has happened in Haiti. Not yet, anyway and maybe (just maybe) never. Let us all hope for the best And — in optimistic anticipation of the pivotal and perhaps decisive moment when Lt. Gen. Raoul Cedras steps down (which diplo­ matic sources said would occur Monday)—letus now praise brave men and women.

For nearly two years, special in­ terests have thrown everything they've got at health care reform. It's not surprising, then, that we reached an impasse this year. But the one thing the status quo crowd couldnotaccomplish was to change Americans' belief that we need to reform our health care system. The latestpublic opinion polls still show seven out of 10 Americans favor­ ing a health care system that pro­ vides every person with a nock- solid guarantee of health care cov­ erage that can never be taken away. A similar majority favors a system that keeps health costs within people's reach. Several years after his "death," Mark Twain offered policy makers one piece of advice that holds true today.

It's a "Think Happy Today" read the bus station bench. On it, there sat a weathered bag-lady with all of her belongings residing inside three or four garbage bags. Not a common sight for Ellensburg? Or even less com­ mon on the Central campus? Let's not be oblivious let's recognize (at least for as long as it takes to read this review) that there is a disturbing number of homeless people in the United ° States. The "bag-lady" was just one of the powerful black and white photo images displayed by Jim Hubbard at his lecture in the Samuelson Union Building Ballroom last Saturday. The composite of photos at Hubbard's exhibit were disturb­ ing, but they contained one thing that made them more genuine than any pictures of the homeless had ever been most of them were taken by homeless children. This exhibit is an effort that has been most successful at capturing a very accurate insight into homeless life. 'They (the pictures) are both simple and elegant they are honest beyond imagination," said Hubbard. "They capture moments impossible for an outsider to have ever perceived or experienced." The effect of the exhibit was astounding: photos depicting children using railroad tracks as a playground outside a nearby shelter, a man asleep on a sidewalk as city-goers pass without a glance, and a newly evicted family sitting with their possessions. Children laughing, children playing and crying: these are windows into the daily lives of the homeless. Photos focusing on the simplistic scene of children looking through a hula hoop transform into a higher meaning these children don't belong here. " The Shooting Back founda­ tion attempts to help homeless children and homeless families by giving back to the commu­ nity," Hubbard said. Giving children a chance to experience something that may give them insight into their future, Hubbard said. In Hubbard's book entitled "Shooting Back: a Photographic View by Homeless Children," one homeless child says: "If I wasn't here right now, I could be back on the street somewhere selling drugs, shooting some­ body, or killing somebody for money." The non-profit organization Shooting Back is touring the nation in an attempt to gain recognition and support.

Page 10 Thursday, October 13,1994 The Observer CWU professor investigates knots for homocide Sands researches forensic anthropology When Central Washington University anthropology professor Catherine Sands began work on her paper, "Knots: Why Some Naughty Crimes Are Not Solved/' she thought she was simply researching the long neglected topic of ropes and . knots in forensic anthropology. When an Illinois prosecutor got wind of her paper, which she presented in February of this year at the annual conference of the American Academy of Forensic Sciences in San Antonio, Texas, her advice was immediately solicited in investigating a woman's death, originally considered a suicide, but which Sands now believes is homicide. Her essay discusses past and present rope manufacturing and the craft of knot-making. Her paper also explores in some depth the treatment of ropes and knots as evidence at the scene of homicides and suicides, as well as noting several post-mortem symptoms displayed by victims of strangulation or hanging. "I became interested in this subject because a good number of homicide cases in the United States have ropes, ligatures, and knots as part of the crime scene evidence," Sands wrote in her essay. "That type of evidence is often mishandled, lost, or not properly conserved for court purposes... cases initially investigated and suspected of being suicides have often, upon closer scrutiny and diligent investigations, proven to be homicides." This seems to be exactly the case with the investigation Sands is currently working on. An Illinois prosecutor sent Sands photographs and documentation of the crime scene, from which it was originally concluded the woman hung herself from a steel pipe laid across the entrance to the garage attic. Sands notes that the report from the crime scene is not very thorough and leaves several u I became interested in this subject because a good number of homicide cases in the United States have ropes, ligatures, and knots as part of the crime scene evidence. —Catherine Sands, CWU anthropology professor questions unanswered. However, from the photographs she noticed several things inconsistent with suicide by hanging. Most prominently, the rope which thg woman allegedly used to hang herself was coiled about her neck three times, and between the coils, blistered flesh was noted which is not consistent with hanging. Additionally, there were no splinters embedded in the woman's hands or in her gown from the wooden ladder she would have had to have climbed in order to secure the rope to the steel pipe in the ceiling. The garage door was wide open when the body was found and police discovered only one fresh finger print on the ladder, and a partial thumb print on the platform at the very top. Sands observed that the bruise left by the knot of the rope was at the base of the woman's neck, rather than the base of the skull, which is typical for victims of hanging, and her body was locked in a post-mortem posture inconsistent with death by hanging. "You can't hang yourself laying down," she said. This is the first out- of-state case which Sands has investigated, but she occasionally does forensic work for local sheriffs' departments, especially Kittitas and Yakima County *" sheriffs. She has taught anthropology at CWU for the past 26 years. Currently, she is wrapping up courses and will retire from Central next June. After retirement, Sands plans to open a private practice, providing forensic assistance to area police and sheriffs departments. With Sands's analyses at their disposal, Illinois police are continuing their investigation. Sands has not yet heard if any suspects have been apprehended.

Project Washoe founders speak Chimpanzees 6talk' similar to children by Shay McGraw Staff reporter The Chimpanzee and Human Communication Institute pre­ sented a recent public lecture by doctors Beatrix and Allen Gardner. The lecture, entitled "Signs of Development in the Early Utterances of Children and Chimpanzees," demonstrated the ability of chimpanzees to use sign language in their interactions with humans and with each other, and their similarities to humans in learning the communication process. Also responsible for present­ ing the lecture were the depart­ ments of psychology Psi Chi (the psychology department's honor society), the department of anthropology, and graduate college. In 1966, Beatrix and Allen Gardner began Project Washoe, the first project in which a chimpanzee acquired a human language, American Sign Language (ASL). Project Washoe and its sequel with Moja, Pili, Tatu and Dar, simulated with infant chimpan­ zees the conditions in which the language of human children develops gradually into the language of human parents. Patterns of growth and development in the sign language of cross-fostered chimjpanzees were traced and compared with similar patterns in human children. "Children and chimps put words together the same way," said Dr. Beatrix Gardner, illustrating the chimpanzee- human relationship. Dr. Allen Gardner called the study's resulting evidence for continuous processes and variables in both children and chimpanzees "groundbreaking," also comparing infant chimpan­ zees to human children. "Chimpanzees need time to mature, just as humans do," Gardner said. "However, infant chimpanzees are even more dependent than human children." Begun in 1966, this project is the first and longest running of its kind. All five chimpanzees have acquired extensive ASL vocabu­ laries and live together as a social group in Central's Chimpanzee and Human Communication Institute (CHCI). "It is a very special place in science and the world of ideas," added Allen Gardner, characteriz­ ing his feelings toward Central and CHCI. Washoe, the oldest chimpan­ zee and most accomplished signer, celebrated her 29th birthday on June 21- the "Project Washoe" anniversary, although she was probably born in September of 1965. The four younger chimps, two male and two female, range in age from 16 to 22, and look upon Washoe as the mother figure, and each other as brothers and sisters. The number of known signs varies among the chimpanzees. Washoe currently has a vocabu­ lary of 240 "reliable" signs. A sign is deemed reliable after three different observers have recorded the sign for 15 consecutive days. The chimps use the signs both individually and in combination with other signs in multiple-sign utterances. The longest utterance observed so far was a sentence made up of seven different signs. The chimpanzees primarily use their signs to talk about things that are characteristic of a human family, with the young See CHIMPS/page 14 NEED INSURANCE?

Page 12 Thursday, October 13,1994 The Observer Plastics recycling contest offers Miami Beach trip NEW YORK - Cash, recogni- t on and a chance to be published are just a few of the opportunities available to undergraduate students across North America in the 1994-1995 Plastics Recycling Competition. Students are asked to write a comprehensive technical report outlining a process for recycling mixed plastics that have been separated from municipal solid waste. The process must convert the post-use plastics into market­ able petrochemical products through advanced recycling technologies (ART). Students wishing to submit reports must first complete an application verifying their eligibility. Participants must be full-time undergraduates cur­ rently attending a four-year accredited college or university in North America and have the permission of their faculty advisers. Students may work individu­ ally or in teams of up to three undergraduates from any disci­ pline. Once an application is received and verified, a compre­ hensive technical packet that outlines basic competition ground rules and current technological research will be mailed to each participant. All submitted papers will be reviewed by leaders from organizations in academia, industry and government. Three finalists and their faculty advisers will be flown, all expenses paid, to Miami Beach, Florida, where the students will present their papers at the AIChE Annual Meeting. The first place winner will receive $1,500 and publication of their paper in an AIChE maga- ' zine. Students and professors may request an application or more information by calling Tricia Stevenson at (212) 705-7840. Applications are due on Dec. 30, 1994. Final papers are due on April 28,1995.

The Observer Thursday, October 13,1994 Page 13 Iodine: album should get instant notice by Dan Engel Staff reporter MUSIC If it was a perfect world, the Seattle music explosion would not have happened, smoking would be good for you, and Iodine would be one of the most sought after bands in the world. Unfortunately it is not We will, instead, have to settle for Eddie Vedder, emphysema, and Iodine will have to be our little secret With the release of their self- titled debut LP on Bedazzled Compact Discs, it will not be long until Iodine will have corporate America buying them dinner. This band has put together a 10 song album that will no doubt get them instant notice. This Ellensburg-based band could be compared to bands such as Fugazi, Quicksand, and Helmet, because of their crunchy guitar sound and distant, but hard hitting vocal style. These guys take what is good from each of these bands and thread. it into their own brand of music. Jesse Roberts and Aaron Lundborg share the lead vocal parts as well as the guitar duties. Both of their vocal styles are similar, a style that is straight forward and direct, and at times, subtle and disturbing. Like any great band of this type, the rhythm section has to be driving. Iodine is no exception. Josh Greenburg and Jonas Haskins combine to give them one of Iodine's signature elements. This element is an undeni­ able funk groove that might not be noticed at first, because of the heavy guitars. Greenburg floats through some outstanding drum rhythms that you could, again, compare to John Stanier of Helmet. Iodine explodes out of the gates with the first two songs, "Human Ideal" and "Reach for Water." These tracks truly encompass Iodine's unique sound. This sound is a combination of steadfast rhythm and powerful guitar woik. This band is extremely tight and creates some of the most interesting guitar riffs and changes. The vocals are just as interest­ ing on these songs in which Iodine's recognizable eerie drones are made readily apparent by the work of A1 Milman and Brandon Pitts, producers of the album. In the past, Iodine has been questioned on the diversity of their music or lack thereof. They break free of that leash with the songs "Sharp Saccharine Poetry" and 'Telophase," which is about as close to pop songs as Iodine will probably ever get. "I Am Lord" is another mold-breaker for them as well as a hidden 10th track that I will let you try to figure out for yourself. Iodine's label, Bedazzled Compact Discs, was created to complement its store, Bedazzled Records. Iodine is the first band on this new, Seattle-based label. Generally, this is one of the best albums I have heard all year. It's the type of album that makes you feel good, and makes other musicians think about putting aside their instruments and taking up golf. Waterless urinal fixes major leak by Mike Farabaugh Baltimore Sun ABERDEEN, Md. —A waterless urinal in the men's room at Aberdeen City Hall has municipal officials convinced they have plugged a major leak in water conservation problems. "It's so simple, it's ridicu­ lous," said Lawrence J. Gredlein, Aberdeen's deputy director of public works. The technical aspects of the No-Flush urinal were known and used in Europe over 100 years ago, he said. The model being tested in Aberdeen is manufactured arid marketed by Waterless Co. in San Diego. Each waterless urinal costs about $400, depending on the model, said Klaus Reichardt, the company's president The No-Flush urinal is similar in appearance to the standard type, but it has no flushing handle. The bowl is precoated with a urine and water repellent to prevent bacterial growth and foul odors. When the device is used, the waste flows around a plastic trap insert and into pipes filled with a lightweight biodegradable oil. The waste filters through the oil and gravity moves it into a connecting sewer line. After about 500 uses, the oil must be replenished. The advantage to the device is that it can save water and water costs. The more it's used, the more it saves, officials said, and the savings on repair costs can be substantial compared with conventional units. Aberdeen's waterless urinal is a joint test venture of the city and the Maryland Department of Natural Resources. The site was chosen because the city's water supply from a large field of artesian wells has steadily declined for 20 years, Gredlein said.

Washoe, a typical mother, spends time disciplining, reassuring and conveying other motherly concerns. Washoe was raised as if she were a deaf child at the Univer­ sity of Nevada in Reno from 1966-1970. Roger Fouts,CWU psychology professor and founder of the CHCI, joined the project as a graduate student in 1967.

Humans were prohibited from signing around Loulis until 1984, when it had been verified that he had acquired his signs from his mother as had the other chimpan­ zees. Studying how chimps acquire and use sign language has given the Foutses a better understand­ ing of how humans acquire language skills. It also provided them with another model with which they can study the role of language in communication. The Foutses* research has been used to help non-communi­ cative children learn to sign. Autistic, cerebral palsied, and developmental^ disabled children have also benefited from the research. If adequate funding is avail­ able, the Foutses would like to explore the ability of chimpan­ zees to symbolically represent spatial relationships and their ability to put themselves in another person's place. From this, they hope to ascertain whether the chimpanzee has a "theory of mind." Among other comparative studies between the use of language in humans and chim­ panzees, some future applications the Foutses would like to make are to expand the outreach in the terms of treating autistic children. They would also like to apply the findings from the establish­ ment of the human-chimpanzee relationship research to other important relationships such as the teacher-pupil relationship. However, the 1990s have proved to be financially challeng­ ing decade for the Foutses and CHCI. Very little of the abun­ dant federal-grant monies that were available for behavioral research in the 1980s are avail­ able today. Part of the funding for the ongoing care of the chimps' maintenance and research is now generated almost entirely by CHCI's non-profit organization, Friends of Washoe. In the past, Friends of Washoe has led the way in efforts to improve captive conditions, save the wild chimpanzees from exploitation and extinction, and educate the general public about chimpanzees and their plight The Foutses spent more than 13 years gaining the support and funds needed to construct the CHCI, which was finally com­ pleted in 1992. The CHCI complex provides the chimpanzees with an environ­ ment which allows them enough room to run, climb and enjoy the sunshine.

CWU club supports social justice by Lori Lettner Copy editor . Hie United States cuirently exports more weapons than any other product, said James Cole, president of the Central Washing­ ton Peace and Environmental Council. "Sixty percentof our exports go to unstable governments where there are dictators," Cole said. Because of these develop­ ments, the Council supports House Bill 3538, a bill which is a code of conduct for arms exports, Cole added. The bill dictates that the United States wouldn't export weapons to countries that are not democratic, countries that use weapons against their own citizens, or countries that use weapons on their neighbors, he said. "(Because) the arms industry has such a big lobby, we've been unable to get what we need," Cole said. "We need to have people support it (the bill)." Besides supporting House Bill 3538, the Council also supports social justice, environmental issues and peace, Cole said. In social justice, people's rights are denied because of their color or different cultural background, he said. With the environment, people are denied the right of the future, and in peace, people are denied the right to live in a certain place.
The Observer Thursday, October 13,1994 Page 15 SPORTS Central football team beaten soundly by Linfield by Brian Iverson Staff reporter Fifth-ranked Linfield College snapped a four-game losing streak against Central, beating CWU for the first time since 1986 in a non- league contest last Saturday. Not only was Central defeated 27-10, but it now looks like the Wildcats may have to go on with­ out its most productive player. Senior running back Tom Craven injured his knee in the third quar­ ter.

Kitna was sacked four times. Overall, the offense only rolled up 285 yards against Linfield, the worst performance for the 'Cats since gaining just 112 yards against Western Washington in 1992. Turnovers hurt CWU. In the first quarter, after a failed fake punt by Central, Linfield marched 50 yards to take the early lead. Quarterback Danny Langsdorf threw five yards to receiver Brock Peterson. The missed PAT made the score 6-0.

"Erin has a really really positive attitude," said head coach Larry Foster. "She keeps her head level and helps carry therestof the team." Hamilton is from Honolulu, Ha­ waii, where she played four years of varsity soccer at Kaiser High School. "She works incredibly hard and she wants to score.

"Erin is fun to play with and she helps keep things in a good perspec­ tive," said teammate Amanda Frazier. "She makes playing fun for everyone." Frazier added that Erin's main role on the field is "to keep everyone focused on the game and to stay positive." Hamilton said she loves playing a sport that is team oriented. "I love the game and I really like to give 100 percent," Hamilton said. Foster said he puts a large em­ phasis on the mental part of soc­ cer, and noted one of Hamilton's strengths is her great sense of hu­ mor.

Central traveled to Tacoma last Wednesday in hopes of notching its third victory of the season against the University of Puget Sound. Central left town disappointed, losing 3-2 to the Loggers. The game was marred by muddy field condi­ tions and sloppy play. "We didn't get it going," said assistant coach Mike Rundquist. Puget Sound struck first scoring in the 11 th minute. The 'Cats struck back fast. Senior forward Erik Hildebrand scored his ninth goal of the season in the 18th minute converting the assist from sophomore forward Slade Murphy. UPS added another goal in the 64th minute. Central came right back as Murphy got into the scoring act, converting the assist from fresh­ man midfielder Nate Sabari. The Loggers scored the winning goal in the closing minutes to fin­ ish off Central and seal the victory. The loss dropped Central's league record'to 2-4 and 4-8-1 overall. The loss was made even tougher when sophomore forward Slade Murphy went down with a sore right knee. Murphy did not practice Thurs­ day or Friday as the Wildcats pre­ pared to do battle with conference foe Evergreen State. Hildebrand said poor execution was continuing to plague Central. "We were not ready to play," Hildebrand said. Central faced off against Ever­ green State Saturday in a key con­ ference match-up. Evergreen (4-2 conference, 7-5 overall) took a 2-0 lead in the first half before sophomore goal keeper Tony Graff stepped up and shut the Geoducks down. Graff finished the match with eight saves. Central came alive in the second half after a sluggish first half. S lade Murphy bounced back from a knee injury suffered against UPS, scoring two goals within three min­ utes bf each other to start the second half. Senior defender Nate Nelson and Sabari assisted Murphy on his first two goals. Junior midfielder Nick Reep scored the winning goal in the 74th minute on the assist from sopho­ more forward Dave Pidgeon. Reep's goal concluded a 15- minute scoring barrage in which Central scored three straight goals. The 3-2 victory improved the Wildcats' record to 3-3 in the Pa­ cific Northwest Athletic Confer­ ence and 5-8-1 overall. Hildebrand was impressed with Central's victory, but noted that at times the team seems to have a Dr. Jeckyl and Mr. Hyde personality. "We took it to them the last 45 minutes," Hildebrand said. Central does battle with Seattle University on Wednesday at 4 p.m. at Tomlinson Field. FOOTBALL: Team loses second nonleague game 27-10 From page 15 unassisted tackles, and three tack­ les ior losses, including a quarter­ back sack. The crushing blow came just three plays after junior defensive back Gary Michacl intcrccplcdaLinficld ball to end a drive. Kitna's third-down pitch to Craven bounced off the running back's hel­ met. Linfield's Joe Dominey fell on the bail while Craven fell injured to the turf. On its first snap after the fumble recovery, Langsdorf connected with receiver Kent Wagner for a 29-yard touchdown pass, putting Linfield ahead 24-7. Central's final points came after senior running backGoreal Hudson ran for eight yards on third-and- one to move the 'Cats into field goal range. Freshman kicker Ryan Bishop kicked his third field goal of the season, a 29-yarder to score Central's only points in the second half. Bishop is currently a perfect 11- for-11 in extra points, extending CWU's two-season streak to 54 consecutive PATs made. Linfield finished with 203 rush­ ing yards against a Central defense that had allowed just 126 yards in the first three games. Linfield's Joey Rector led all rushers in the game with 110 yards on 23 carries. Central, currently ninth in the na­ tional polls, is sure to drop after falling to 2-2 on the season. The pressure is now on the Wild­ cats. - Any hope of entering the play­ offs may require winning the Mount Rainier League Championship.

Central, which had beat Whitworth a week earlier in their home opener, de­ feated Whitworth again. Sophomore Brenda Butler had 15 kills to lead Central. Sopho­ more Mirranda Saari had nine blocks, five of them solo. The win improved the Wildcats record to 9- 12 overall. Central's 0-3 league mark makes each and every league game very important, because only the regu­ lar season champion moves on to the regional playoffs in mid-No- vember. However, Central is by no means out of the playoff picture. Other teams could be invited to the eight team tournament based on their regional ranking. The season is still quite young. Central has seven more conference games this sea­ son. Coach John Pearson was pleased with the Victory. "(We) gelled as a team finally," Pearson said. "I am very happy with our progress right now." The Wildcats traveled to the West­ ern Oregon State College Invita­ tional Tournament in Monmouth, Ore., over the Weekend. Central's pool included Western Baptist, Carroll College of Montana, Willamette,and Albertson College of Idaho. The tournament format was the best two of three matches instead of the best of five as is the case in regular season matches. Central was defeated by the fol­ lowing scores: Western Baptist, 15-3, 15-10 Albertson College, 21-19, 15-12 nationally-ranked Carroll College, 15-9,15-7. The 'Cats lost to Willamette 0-15,12- 15, finishing second in their pool. Central moved on to face ninth- ranked Azuza Pacific, taking the match 15-9, 15-12. Central was led by Butler's six kills and 12 digs. Freshman Sarah Ludes, jun­ ior Jill Taylor, senior Marcy Watkins and junior Jody White had five kills each. With their victory over Azuza, the 'Cats were set to. face confer­ ence foe Puget Sound in the quar­ ter finals. Central got off to a fast start tak­ ing the'first game 15-7. But UPS came back and took the last two games 13-15 and 7-15. Ludes and Butler led the team in kills with 9 and 8 respectively. Of the 20 team's participating in the tournament, Central showed great promise finishing tied for fifth. BYU-Hawaii beat Western Oregon for the tournament title. Pearson was pleased with the team's showing. 'To be honest, we're playing bet­ ter than we have played all sea­ son," Pearson said. He added that the victories were a result of a total team effort. 705 N.

Page 18 Thursday, October 13,1994 The Observer Late goal gives Central 2-1 win over Western by Chuck E. Case Staff reporter Central's women's soccer team split its road trip this past weekend, winning at Western Washington on Saturday and losing at Puget Sound the next day, this after tying Seattle Pacific at home on Oct. 5. The Wildcats outshot Seattle 22- 13. Senior defender Timary Estby led with four shots. Senior defender Rondi Becker Junior forward Erin Hamilton, and sophomore forward Jennifer Murphy were next with three shots each. Despite the 'Cats' edge on shots, they could not convert any shots into goals. However, they also held Seattle Pacific without any goals. Sophomore goalkeeper Julie Olsen was responsible forCentral's shutout. She made a save on a breakaway early in the game. She made four other saves during the first half. On offense, Hamilton also had three good scoring opportunities in the half. Olsen and Hamilton were also the key performers for the 'Cats in the second half. Olsen £ame up with three more saves. Hamilton had the best chance to break the scoreless tie late in the half. But when she broke away and headed for the goal, she was called for tripping. Hamilton did not think she tripped her opponent. "She tripped over my foot," Hamilton said. "It was a bad call, but those are the breaks." Neither team did a lot in the over­ time periods. Estby and Becker had the best opportunities, but could not convert either shot. Nonetheless, Olsen was proud of the 'Cats' effort. "Considering we had the wind against us, we played good," she said. "We played-intense, we played hard, and we showed our stuff." The 'Cats showed their stuff again on Saturday when they won at Western, 2-1. The 'Cats won de­ spite the fact that Western outshot them, 12-11. One of Western's shots found the net in the fifth minute. Hamilton scored her fifth goal of the year on an assist from junior midfielder Kerry Moffat. Sopho­ more forward Mandy Frazier pro­ vided the margin of victory with her fourth goal of the year, assisted by Hamilton and Murphy. Moffat led Central with three shots. Frazier, Hamilton, and fresh­ man forward Abby Hovsepian chipped in with two shots each. Central traveled to Tacoma the next day to face Puget Sound. UPS outshot the 'Cats 10-8 and won the game 4-0. "We got worked on Sunday," freshman defender Holly Smith said. "We were tired from the day before, but hopefully we'll get our heads together for the next game." The 'Cats record now stands at 5- 4-2. They will host Western today at 3 p.m. "We've got four days of rest be­ fore the game, so we should be ready," Smith said. "We want to finish with success." Hamilton and Olsen are also con­ fident with Central' s play this sea­ son, and its chances for the rest of the season.
