Mike Lowry's office as deputy staff director. Curreri will also be stepping down from her position on the Central Board of Trustees (BOT). In a statement issued Monday Curreri said, "There are several important reasons for my vision to leave at this time. I am chal­ ked by the opportunity to contribute to , .ate government at a time when greater responsibilities are being transferred to that level of government." « The decision to leave was motivated, in part, by the fact that a family member is undergoing medical treatment at the Univer­ sity of Washington Medical Center. A move to the Puget Sound area will cut down on travel time. The details of her duties as deputy staff director are still unclear, but Curreri said it will most likely involve internal manage­ ment. "My strengths are internal administration so I imagine my job will be to go in and get things back on track," Curreri said. The governor's office has been set back by the transfer of responsibilities from the fed­ eral to state level, Curreri said. "I'm delighted for her obviously, but on the other hand, I am disappointed," Central BOT Chair Ron Dotzauer said. Curreri contributed a great deal because of her ties with the community, Dotzauer said. "She will be greatly missed." Community officials have also expressed regret at Curreri's resignation. "Cindy has served the Council, staff and citizens of Ellensburg capably and responsi­ bly in her term as city manager," Ellensburg Mayor Mollie Edson said. "One of her greatest accomplishments has been to guide us through the Growth Management pro­ cess. "The city of Ellensburg has benefited by her creativity and is better for her tenure." Ellensburg City Council member Wendy Rittereiser said, "I think Cindy served the city well in her three-year tenure. She will be difficult to replace." Curreri will leave her position as city man­ ager May 31. -• i Cynthia Curreri Senior Rue Burch and junior R.J. Kowal enjoy an acoustical jam session in front of Meisner Hall.

The increase, which was approved by the Board of Trustees will, depending on which room arid board plan a student subscribes to, vary between 3.4 percent to 4.8 percent. Students who are on the 19 meals per week plan are now paying $3,820 for three quarters. Starting next year they will pay $3,995. In spite of the new increases in room and board for students, it remains one of the lowest in the state, said Tom Ogg, Central Dining Service manager. A portion of the rate increase is to cover ongoing expenses to keep the food operations where they are now and to meet the students' needs, Ogg said. The price of food is starting to go up and plastics and See FEES/page 3 Central offers new food and beverage choices Vegetarian entrees, grab and go items and even outdoor service are among the new spring quarter food and beverage offerings at CWU. The expanded options come in re­ sponse to the ever-changing tastes of the Central students. "It's in response to what we're hearing in surveys and what we're seeing in the residence halls too," said CWU Dining Services Man­ ager Tom Ogg. 'Takeout is very big. About 40 percent of university residence hall meals are served by takeout locations. "And we track our menu histo- so we can see what people are taking. If an item is not doing well, it will be phased out. There are a lot of new products coming out, so we're doing some product testing every month." The Edge is part of the Samuelson Union Building's Central Cafe that will offer vegetarian and low-fat meals and snacks. It began as a collaboration between dining ser­ vices and the students in the University's Nutritional Science club. "They approached us last fall about some projects they wanted to work on," Ogg said. "So we decided to hire them as consultants to bring in a heart-healthy, meat­ less entree to the SUB." The concept became a university home economics class project, CWU students responsible for menu development, preparation and production, product testing, nutritional analysis and marketing. "We're starting off with one en­ tree—vegetarian, meatless, or low- fat — instead of having one of each," added Ogg. "So, it's not to the full extent that we will prob­ ably see within the next three weeks." For students, faculty, and staff on the run, Mary's Market, also lo­ cated in the SUB, is now offering to go items. 'The SUB staff decided there is a market for grab and go here," Ogg said. "We had a refrigerated dis­ play case that wasn't being used, so we brought it in. Mary's Market carries salads and snacks. And we're developing a whole line of logos and labels — most of which have been designed by students — that we can put on the products. "We're trying to give each of our stations a name — like The Edge and Mary's Market — so we can actually identify them. And, I'm sure, as we go on, we will be nam­ ing some other things, like the deli and the salad bar, so they will also have an actual identity that we can market." That marketing will be done strictly within the boundaries of the campus community. "The only marketing methods we'll use are posters and bulletin boards on campus, campus mail­ ings, and the student newspaper," Ogg said. Each week we will come out with a new flyer that will indicate what's happening in terms of menus, special, and any new ser­ vices."

When the officer attempted to make contact, the suspect ran toward Alford-Montgomery Hall and was eventually apprehended near the west side of the residence hall. The 19-year-old man was handcuffed and booked into assault. The driver sped up, ignoring the police lights, as the officer pursued the suspect. The chase ended in the 100 block of East 17th when the driver fled from his car and into a nearby residence.

'Stampede' dedicated to Coleman by MaryLee Berthon Staff reporter The American Cancer Society (ACS) will be holding its annual Spring Stampede/24-hour relay for life May 19 and 20, at Ellensburg High School's Andreotti Field. This year's stampede is in memory of the late CWU basketball coach, Gil Coleman. Student intern Dan Wadley said this is the first year the ACS has dedicated Ellensburg's relay in someone's honor which it hopes will become a tradition it can con­ tinue year after year. Though the deadline to sign up for the stampede was Tuesday, reg­ istration packets can still bepicked up at Rossow's U-Totem. Relay teams are made up of a minimum of 10 people and cannot exceed 19 if a group has 20 or more it will be split into two groups. Anyone can be part of a team a group of friends, a living group or members of a campus club. Each team pays a registration fee of $ 100. This cost will cover participants' entry fees for the relay and all event activities such as live enter­ tainment, snacks and the Lumi­ nary Lighting. The Luminary Lighting consists of candle-lit bags that line the track. "Last year Ellensburg had 700 and this year we're projecting 1,500," said Stormy Miller-Ausink, Ameri­ can Cancer Society executive di­ rector of Yakima, Kittitas and Klickitat counties. Candles can be purchased for $10 and placed in honor of someone who has cancer, cancer survivors, those who have died from cancer or for loved ones in hopes they never get cancer. Other activities will be live enter­ tainment and snacks.

The Observer Thursday, April 13,1995 Students study abroad Page 3 by Jennifer Thompson Staff reporter, Four Central students were awarded scholarships, tuition waiv­ ers and airfare to study in Japan for the 1995-96 school year. The awards total 150,000 Yen a month which translates into about $18,000 for the year. The scholar­ ships were given by the Associa­ tion of International Education in Japan. The four went through an appli­ cation process and sent letters of recommendation to the universi­ ties they wanted to attend. The students' grades along with the strong relationship between Cen­ tral and the Japanese universities helped them when the awards were given, said Stacia Zukroff, Study Abroad and Exchange adviser for International Programs. Sophomore Elaina Brewington, and juniors Richard McAllister and Richard Lee, are spending the next year in Kyoto, Japan at the Kyoto University of Foreign Studies. Julianne Cornell will spend the year at Gunma Prefectural Women's University. Both Kyoto and Gunma are sister universities to Central. All four are majoring in Japanese.

"The students will be able to take courses in Japanese politics, cul­ ture and society and Eastern Asian philosophy and all their credits will transfer," Zukroff said. Cornell is the only American at Gunma so she will be completely immersed in the language and cul­ ture, Zukroff said. "All four of the students have been active with the Japanese com­ munity at Central," Zukroff said. McAllister worked as an interna­ tional peer adviser working with the Japanese students at Central and Brewington was a campus friend to the exchange students, Zukroff said, The four left in March and will be in Japan until next spring. To qualify for a placement in Gunma a student must have two years or the equivalent of the Japa­ nese language, Zukroff said. To qualify at Kyoto a student only has to have two quarters of the Japanese language. "Students must be upper division and we prefer students who are mature academically," Zukroff. said.

On Monday Dr.' Kathleen O'Fallon presented "Women In Hollywood films: tales of pollu­ tion and revolution." The lecture was co-sponsored by theWomen's Resource Center, the office of Stu­ dent Activities, and the English de­ partment, O'Fallon showed clips from mov­ ies to support her three-phased evo­ lution of working women in films. O'Fallon said the early 1980s films such as "Alien" and "Nine to Five" gave women positive work­ places and illustrated the feminist movement. Phase two showed women as ag­ gressive and at home in the corpo­ rate workplace. "In 'Baby Boom' and 'Working Girl' women are aggressive, male women are brought into the work­ place:"-' ^ '' iSetferir moVibs like lThe Tfemji* and "Disclosure" are included in phase three. O'Fallon nicknamed this phase "The Backlash is here, Baby." O'Fallon said these two thrillers show women as highly sexual and feared. "It's important to notice the films that are positive about women are comedies and the films that are negative about women are thrill­ ers," O'Fallon said. O'Fallon analyzes film because she finds that it reflects and creates reality, and it goes beyond enter­ tainment. It is unusual to see films portray­ ing women of color working in the corporate world, O'Fallon said. "I am so sick of seeing the same stories over and over again," O'Fallon said. "Half of the stories aren't being told. Women's stories aren't being told." and £ eauty Trojwml!tw$)ts$m volved in exchanges in the Na­ tional Student Exchange within the United States. The National Student Exchange is a program designed to allow students to study for up to one academic year at a university within the Unites States, Guam, Puerto Rico or the U.S. Virgin Islands. Through the NSE program students are able to pay in-state tuition at the university they choose to attend. "We have five students going to the University of Hawaii, Manoa, three at the University of New Or­ leans, and others spread across the U.S.," Zukroff said. Twelve students are attending Central through the program. They are here from California, Hawaii, Alaska, Colorado, Minnesota and New York. This is the largest number of incoming students Cen­ tral has had through this program, Zucroff said. FEES: Number of campus residents is expected to drop From page 1 disposable paper prices are sky high, he added. This year, 2,952 students — 37.9 percent of the full-time enrollment — live in campus housing 2,400 eat in the three dining halls. Due to the increasing availability of off campus housing, the number of students living on campus is expected to drop, Ogg said. "It's a given fact" that living off campus costs less taking into con­ sideration rent, food costs and a person's diet, he said. The dining service function is to make it easy on the students.

For example, the university is looking to meet the high demand for alcohol-free dorms, Corona said.

Ballot Box Blues Ahh, spring is in the air. The flowers are blossoming, the swallows have returned to Capistrano, and the would-be student politicians are passing out lollipops in front of Tunstall. You can just feel the energy in the air as they pump hands and convey their earnest desire that every passers-by vote for them come election day. You see, they have a desire to make a difference. These i$viduals come from all walks of life, yet they have a common interest. They want to serve the campus commu­ nity through leadership. Every year we see the same cycle, though. The Observer will publish stories on every candidate, allowing them the opportunity to discuss their platforms. Debates will be held between the candidates, giving them a public forum to express their views. And come election day, less than two thousand people will vote. Two thousand people? Last year the ASCWU president won with only 970 votes the other candidate received 427. That's 1,397 total votes out of more than 6,000 people. Not exactly impressive. Students are afforded every opportunity to participate in the process, yet the turnout is still lacklus­ ter. This editorial won't swing those other 4,000 people into action, I know that much. But, maybe the next time they see something going on in the student government that they don't like, just maybe they'll think again about the privilege, no, the responsibility they had to vote.

Why do we come to Central Wash­ ington University for our educa­ tion? As an older African-Ameri­ can student arid a woman, I came to college to increase my knowledge, to learn about myself and those I share the planet with. I came to politicize myself, to develop my own personal philoso­ phies. I did not come to "get a job." I did not come with expectations on earning x-amount of dollars pa- year, to own a BMW, to live the good life. I came because I desire to leave my mark on this world, to make a difference, no matter how small it might be. I came to develop my "voice." Instead, I find myself in the midst be employed, doing something in exchange for dollars at a later date. The focus is on getting grades, not obtaining knowledge. The destination has taken prece­ dence over the journey. The ques­ tion frequently heard in the class­ room is, "What do we have to dp for an A?" Students have become sponges, soaking up the academic swill that will be exchanged later for a mini van. What did the history department do to celebrate Black History Month? Have we forgotten Black history, Asian history, Hispanic and Native American history are all a part of the mosaic we call American history? Do we think that American his­ tory is synonymous with Euro­ pean-American history? Or do stu- Black people celebrate Black his­ tory? I wonder how far I would get in my education if I refused to learn anything pertaining to European- Americans. What did the education department' do to celebrate Black History Month? Many of the laws that are the basis for the foundations of edu­ cation were enacted to protect the rights of Black people. Children can not be taught to ap­ preciate who they are as human be­ ings by teachers who do not know and appreciate the history of those children. What did The Observer do to cel­ ebrate Black History Month? I sel­ dom see myself reflected in the pages of this paper.

Dr. Foster is eminently qualified for the position by virtue of his 35- plus«years as a physician and all it has taught him about people's health care needs. Yet, Dr. Foster is being vigor­ ously opposed by the Christian Coalition and other forces of the radical right. They overlook all his qualifica­ tions and oppose him for his pro- choice belief. They wish to use the abortion issue as a litmus test. To gain their way, they have insti­ tuted a smear campaign against Dr. Foster. Knowing most Americans are pro-choice, they are instead at­ tacking Dr. Foster's credibility. Their reason? Dr. Foster at first said he performed several abor­ tions during his medical career then later revised that number to 39. In actuality, it makes no differ­ ence whether Dr. Foster performed several or 39 abortions. Abortion is a legal procedure pro­ vided to women of their free will. No doctor should be criminalized for doing a legal procedure. This narrow focused opposition to Dr. Foster's nomination is wrong because it overlooks all the good he has done for women and children in his career. Much has already been said of his "I Have a Future" program that encourages young people to ab­ stain from sex and was given a Point of Light award by the Bush administration. But Dr. Foster has done much more. He has also served on the Board of Directors for such organi­ zations as the March of Dimes and the Young Women's. Christian As­ sociation. He has participated in the "Suc­ cess of Six" program whose goal is to improve the lives of pre­ schoolers. He has served in "Partnership 2000 Program," a city planning project to ensure these toddlers would have a prosperous, safe en­ vironment to grow up in. His pro-choice stance must be seen in the perspective of hi s entire life' s work. He has delivered thousands of babies and done all he could to ensure the best possible life would be available to them. Anyone, be they pro-life or pro- choice, should be proud of Dr. Foster's work. The fact that he pro­ vided several or 39 abortions does not negate this work. Dr. Foster represents all that is good about America his opposi­ tion represents all that is bad about Washington, D.C., politics. For all his qualifications, Dr. Foster's nomination may yet go down to defeat. Many senators that will decide his fate have bought into the smear campaign. Among them, our senator, Slade Gorton. Sen. Gorton has previously voiced pro-choice beliefs. He likes to be seen as a moderate within the Republican party. Now that the GOP has drifted so far to the right on social issues, Mr. Gorton finds the litmus test on abortion being applied to him. Mr. Gorton's dilemma is how to oppose Dr. Foster's nomination to appease the Christian Coalition but not alienate his constituency which is pro-choice. Mr. Gorton is attempting to art­ fully dodge the abortion issue. He refers to problems with how the nomination was presented. If this is true, Sen. Gorton should not victimize Dr. Foster for the White . House's mistakes.- In.a conversation with members of the Washington State Medical Association, Sen. Gorton's office ./ 7 referred to Dr. Foster as a racist. Are racial epitaphs the extent the senator will go to create a reason to oppose Dr. Foster? His Washing­ ton, D.C., office has since denied those remarks. The Central student group, "Stu­ dents for Choice" is organizing a * petition drive asking Sen. Gorton to support the Foster nomination. Until the nomination hearings be­ gin, we will have tables set up on campus enabling students to contact Sen. Gorton and encourage him to support the nomination. Stop by and drop a message to Slade.

Melody Crockett student 'Contract' is a success •mm Doc Hastings rQ: Congress­ man Hastings, on April 7, you joined hundreds of your colleagues on the steps of the U.S. Capitol to celebrate the completion of the Contract with America. Do you think the first 100-day effort was successful? A: Absolutely. Not only was it successful, but I believe it was the most historic first 100 days since FDR's New Deal more than half a century ago. Last. September, I joined Republican candidates and members of Congress on the Capi­ tol steps to sign the Contract with America. We pledged to the Ameri­ can people that if they elected a Republican majority to the House, we'd guarantee votes on 10 com­ mon sense reforms widely sup­ ported in Central Washington anjl afcross fhe country.The "American people did their part and now we have done ours, and the Contract with America was even completed ahead of schedule — in 93 days instead of the projected 100 days. Q: What were some of the items addressed in the Contract with America? A: The House moved in record time to pass landmark legislation including a balanced budget amend­ ment, a line-item veto giving presi­ dents the power to eliminate pork barrel spending from bills and a tough crime bill. We also passed legislation to strengthen national defense, overhaul the welfare sys­ tem, cut taxes for families, roll back government regulations, and imple­ ment common sense reforms to our legal system. Q: What issues will, be addressed next in Congress? A: The 104th Congress has al­ ready worked harder than any Con­ gress in modern times, but there is much left to do. Now, it's impera­ tive that we build on the momen­ tum we've established as we begin making the tough budget decisions the American people clearly want, us toiiiake. / ^1 Rep.

He came up with a plan for future logging in the Northwest and pledged his sup­ port for the people whose lives de­ pend on natural resources. Unfor­ tunately, the president has found it difficult to stand by his own plan. There are three issues in my amendment. First, "salvage log­ ging." Salvage logging means that we will be able to clear out some of the dead, dying, bug-infested, or otherwise downed timber from our forests. This is not only good for the timber communities who have been suffering from unbearably high unemployment, but it is also good for the forests. Remember the forest fires last summer? They devastated homes and communities and even took human lives. As one admiriistra-r . . . . . tion official looked over the charred remains in Washington state, he noted that these fires were a text­ book example of how forest mis­ management can make fires ex­ plode with catastrophic force. He also said that with salvage logging the damage might have been largely superficial. Dead, dried-out trees are like kindling waiting to he lit, and salvage log­ ging will get rid of the risk. The second issue in my amend­ ment deals with timber that has already been sold, but has been held up by the U.S. Fish and Wild­ life Service. It relieves the federal government of several million dol­ lars in canceled timber contract li­ ability. Without this amendment, the fed­ eral government would have cough up quite a chunk of change to pay for canceled timber contracts. Finally, President Clinton has promised the people in the region called "Option 9" Washington, Oregon and California—that they can have an annual timber harvest of 1.1 billion board feet. But "Option 9" has not been suc­ cessful —bureaucrats and lawyers have stalled the harvests with end­ less reviews and lawsuits, while men and women in timber country are left twisting in the wind. My amendment gives President Clinton the authority to keep his promises by removing the obstacles that have stood in his way. It says that once the timber sales have passed federal environmental stan­ dards, they cannot he stopped by obstructionist lawyers or a red -tape happy bureaucracy. This legislation is not the ultimate answer— it is a temporary measure designed to provide immediate re­ lief for the families and communi­ ties who have been unnecessarily harmed by shifting policies and unkept promises. Like most Washingtonians, I want healthy forests and a prosperous people. We can find a proper bal­ ance between human and environ­ mental concerns, and I will continue to "work with the people of Wash­ ington state to find the right solu­ tion.

Art exhibit displays family values by Jason Vandenberg Staff reporter Anyone eager to increase their family values in a matter of minutes should stroll through the village of Kathy Ross' brilliant art installation, "Apple Pie." The representation will be on display in Randall Hall's Sarah Spurgeon Art Gallery through April 23. Ross, 47, spent most of her early years on an apple farm in Ontario, Canada. She came to the United States when she was 20, and her home has been in the Seattle area since then. Ross attended art classes at Pratt Fine Arts Center and has been showing different forms of artwork to the Northwest since late 1970. Ross has done many different types of artwork, covering a variety of issues. In my display of Apple Pie, I wanted to do something to express family," Ross said. Her work incorporates groups of intertwined hands, which to her are an expressive image symbolizing family.

That chefs dream has led him across the United States to historic downtown Ellensburg, where his dream is now reality. Austin's Roadside Eats and Entertainment opened two months ago, and features a pleasant atmosphere, great food and good music. Creator and owner of Austin's Eats, Austin Smith, came from Boston with his son, Aaron Blu and Aaron's mother, Tionablu. While traveling across America, Smith noticed many roadside diners displaying the token "EAT" sign. Smith had grown to enjoy the local appeal of one such diner in Idaho. Hence, the name Austin's Eats was chosen. Although Austin's is a far cry from the infamous roadside grease pits, Smith has succeeded in preserving the feel of these food- serving community centers. "I wanted to create the kind of place that a customer could come in and relax, while being served by someone who knows them by name and knows how they they like their coffee," Smith said. The atmosphere in Austin's is the result of four months spent renovating what was once home to the Salvation Army. The long hours and hard work have produced what Smith describes as, "a comfortable American look, but eclectically w - T i&t .VS JJL A "M mm, Theatre arts takes show on the road Owner and chef of Austin's Roadside Eats and Entertain­ ment, Austin Smith, prepares an espresso.

One enchanting aspect of Austin's is the Crow Eye* Bead .Company, • located inside the diner. The business owner, Tionablu, sells an assortment of beads and cards, as See DINER/page 8 by Temple A. Stark Staff reporter Take time out of your busy schedule to relax, laugh and appreciate the plays presented by the theatre arts department this spring. "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer," "13 Rue De L'amour," and "What I Did Last Summer," will make this season on the stages of McConnell Auditorium and Tower Theatre come alive. The name 'Tom Sawyer" elicits some form of memory or recognition from nearly everyone. Your chances to see it at Central's 700-seat McConnell Auditorium are at 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m., April 22 and 2 p.m., April 23. Tickets for all performances are $3. Aaron Steen, who plays the lead, is, like Tom, 'boyish, impish and mischievous.' Keith Edie is Huck, and Colette Jones is Aunt Polly. Others in the cast include Jennifer Bennett, Jennie Chester, Sara Hill, Tom McNelly, David Shoup and Jeremy Sonney. Jim Hawkins, the regular director for children's theatre productions is passing those responsibilities to Assistant Professor Brenda Hubbard while he takes on " 13 I^ue De L'amour." "13 Rue De L'amour," written by Georges Feydeau, promises plush, extravagant sets and lavish costumes right out of 19th century Paris. "13 Rue De L'amour" will play May 11-14 and 18-20. The show begins at 8 p.m. and tickets are $6, $4 for students and seniors. Thursdays, May 11 and 18, are half-price. May 14 is a 2 p.m. matinee performance, which is also half-price. "What I Did Last Summer" will be directed by theatre arts Emeritus Professor Richard Leinaweaver, former department chair. Performances for it will be at 6 p.m., June 1-3 in the Tower Theatre. While the children's theatre has been in existence for decades it has never attempted an extended tour. 'Tom Sawyer" will be its first. In recent years there have been successful two-week tours of 'The Elves and the Shoemaker," "Cinderella" and "Peter and the Wolf." The tour will begin Tuesday in Ellensburg and reach eight other locations. There will be more than 80 performances during eight weeks, playing to 37,000 elementary and middle school children from 100 participating schools in Ellensburg, Olympia, Naches, West Valley, Payette (Idaho), Colville, Toppenish, Port Orchard and Eatonville.

The Observer Thursday, April 13,1995 Page 7 National pool champion visits Central by Temple A. Stark Staff reporter In recent months Paul Gerni, 'The Ambassador of Pool," has traveled to Budapest, Frankfurt, Rome, Las Vegas, Malta and Hong Kong. Last Thursday Paul Gerni was at Central to present his show,'The Great Shots of the Legends of Pool" and to conduct a pool clinic later in the day. Gerni's 60-minute trick shot display in the SUB Pit was both truly amazing and impressive. He didn't botch a single trick, not even one which required pocketing six consecutive shots while blindfolded clearly demonstrating his Maintained control and sure loTowledge of where each ball lay on the table. There were plenty of inventive and fun shots, including the always anticipated masse strokes, in which the cue is held vertically to bear down on the cue ball. Gerni used the school'spool tables and balls, though he admitted the quality of equipment made the shots more difficult. The Paul Gerni demonstrates his talents. Chris Urrutia/The observer The evening pool clinic is the time which, as Mr. Gerni put it, "Professor Gerni comes out/' He gave practical instruction on how anybody could improve, $2,000 and demonstrating a number of practice $4,000cues were his own, however, drills which he still uses. Gerni told the crowd of college students, community residents and young children that no one ever gets too good to stop practicing the fundamentals of the game. Gerni not only answered a steady stream of questions afterward, but With a parting shot, Gerni mentioned that pool is a sport that lends itself to everybody. In a nine- ball tournament played in London, Gerni was part of Team USA, which won in a tournament with Team Europe. There were women and men on both teams. It is one of the few sports that men can play against women at the professional level. Paul Gerni started as a pool champion but said he had found a niche beyond pool. "I just took it a step further and went into trick shots because . . . (they) are a really great way to market the game and to showcase the skills of pool," Gerni said. Since he travels so much, Gerni uses his imagination when he cannot practice on a table. "Sometimes I'll practice when I'm on the plane. I close my eyes and do a little self-image psychology, and take about 20 or 30 minutes and go through my workout and I don't others not to, Gerni said it's not just practice that makes perfect, it's perfect practice that makes perfect. Gerni had a chance in his life to watch and play with many pool greats including Jimmy Caras, Joe Balsis, Luther Lassiter and Willie Masconi. And for those who have wondered, the mural on the back wall of the SUB pool room is a drawing of a Willie Masconi photo taken about 1936, when he was in his 30s. A1 so for those who have wondered about what pool balls are made of, they are globes of phenol formaldehyde. A solid color ball takes 10 days to make, 22 days for a striped ball. Gerni views what he does as a regular job, but one he enjoys very much. "Wherever the tournaments are, wherever the exhibitions and the trade shows are, that's my job," he said. "I present the game and speak to clients." After so much recent travel, rooo 4 uvnusts BtLEM5B0»6,WASH.

Page 8 Thursday, April 13, 1995 The Observer Salt Company mission trip to Guadalajara rewarding by Greg Aldaya Editor-in-chief Twenty-one people from Central' s Salt Company represented both the Christian and Missionary Alliance Church and Ellensburg at Spring Break Guadalajara_ 195, a missionary trip March 18-25. The group spent a week painting, clearing brush lor a newly-acquired buildine and sharing their faith with the community of Guadalajara. Mexico. Sandra Hovde. 21. a sociology and law and justicc major from Castle Rock, said the delegation was upbeat throughout the trip and the work was rewarding. "People were totally surprised that we would go down to work for free," she said. "It was trying painting everyday because you got bored, but everyone pitched in and we got it done. It was cool to work so hard for a place that we will probably never see again." Marc Requa, a junior nutrition major, agreed. "The best thing about Guadalajara was getting a chance to talk to the youth and seeing how they were fired up for God," he said. Hovde said they were well received by the Guadalajara community. "Everyday there were at least five or six people that came up to me, and thanked us for being there," she said. "I was never treated so nice as I was in Mexico. They were really excited we were there, but Mexican people are generally open and giving anyway." Hovde liked the cohesion among members of the mission group. "It was totally cool," she said.

"Now it's like "I only knew about four of the we are all brothers and sisters. The people in the group before the whole trip was a blessing." Central's Salt Company spent several weeks raising money for the trip. "Almost all of us had no money going into it," Hovde said. "And we all pitched in and worked hard. I got down on my hands and knees and mopped and waxed a wood floor, raked leaves, did tons of car washes and sold T-Shirts." . Though this was Hovde's first mission trip where she did manual labor — she went to Eu­ rope in high school for basketball on another mission — her plans call for more missionary work. "I could possibly do it on the side or as a career. I guess it just entails what the Lord has for me." Hovde encourages people interested in missions not to hesitate7 just because the money is not in their budget. "If anyone wants to go on a mission trip, don't worry about money —just go."

Sparling's appointment is for one^year. CWU will begin a na­ tionwide search this fall for a per­ manent replacement for Gil Coleman, who died March 6. Sparling is expected to apply for the position. "We will write a job description this summer and advertisements will be sent out this fall," Frederick said. "We hope to announce a permanent coach by next April." "We are real pleased Greg has decided to become our (interim) head coach," Frederick said. "He helped Central in a very difficult time (this winter) and he showed his ability as a coach and in han­ dling players during the last month on the regular season and at the national tournament.

Junior Ryan Krueger won the same award last week. Senior Craig Hyatt hit two home runs and drove in seven runs in Sunday's doubleheader sweep over UPS. His two homers came on his only official at bats in the double- header. UPS pitchers hit 12 batters in the doubleheader, including a CWU school-record eight in the second game. Coincidentally, Richards was not among the eight. He is the Wildcats' all-time single-season leader in being hit by a pitch. He has been beaned nine timed this season. The old record was eight. Richards is also tied for the career mark with 14. Way to go, Richards.

Chris Urrutia/The Observer Ruggers fall after leading at half by Chris Urrutia Photo editor The Central Men's Rugby Foot­ ball Club dream of a sunny cham­ pionship in San Diego was halted by the University of Washington on Saturday. Central fell, 23-22, in a nail-biter that came down to the last six min­ utes where the Huskies drop kicked a three-pointer to clinch the match. « -a r —- *- •• ' r*——— Central dominated the first half scoring 22 points before the Hus­ kies could respond. The Huskies scored a try and the conversion to give them seven points just before the end of the first half. The second half belonged to the Huskies as they rallied and added 16 points to the Wildcats' nil. See m e 11 •3»-' k Besides good individual efforts, both the men's and women's track- and-field teams lost to school rival Western Washington University in their first dual meet in nearly 20 years last Saturday. The Wildcats' men's team domi­ nated the field events, but the Vi­ kings were too much to handle on the track, outscoring Central 91- 68. Senior Eric Tollefson continued to lead the team by winning the 1,500-meter and3,000-meter races. His times were 3 minutes, 58.8 seconds and 8:41.4, respectively. Tollefson was the only person to come in first during men's track races. Five 'Cats were victorious in the field events. Freshman Jason Huff leaped 21 feet-8 3/4 inches in the longjump, junior Pat Reddicktriple jumped 43 feet, and freshman Caleb Gott sprung 6 feet-4 3/4 inches in the high jump. Sophomores John Perry pole vaulted 13 feet-5 1/4 inches and Joe Pierce tossed the javelin 141 feet-2 inches. Although strong effort was given by the team, the women's squad struggled in the dual against West­ ern that ended in defeat, 98-46. Junior Nickola Wilson had a good day winning two events. Wil­ son ran the 100-meter dash in 13.2 Pole vaulter Dave Goretski tries to steady the cross bar on the way down. Kurtis J. Wood/The Observer and long jumped 16 feet-6 1/4 inches.

In the field events, junior Veronica Persons won the high jump with a 5 foot-1 inch leap, and sophomore AngieMarchant threw the javeljn 122-=feet-7 inches. I Saturday the 'Cats will host West­ ern and University of Puget Sound in the Spike Arlt Triangular at the Tomlinson Stadium.

The field events start at 11 a.m., with track events following at 1 p.m. See TRACK/page 11 Cfrgf-f • ff CWU softball team sweeps non-conference doubleheader by Greg Aldaya Editor-in-chief Central's softball team swept, a doubleheader from Eastern Oregon and lost a twinbill against the Uni­ versity of Puget Sound last week. The 'Cats took Tuesday's series 12-6 and 19-10, then lost Thursday's games 10-0 and 8-5. The split leaves Central 1.-5 in conference standings and 8-11 over­ all. The lone conference win came against the University of St. Martin's March 30. UPS is ranked 18th nationally. In the four games the Wildcats batted .376, while pitchers slipped and allowed 34 runs and took a 5.73 earned run iaverage. In the Eastern Oregon game the 'Cats' showed good form. "That game (wehit the ball really well, weprobably hadihebestgame we' vehad sofar and played to what our potentiai'was," head coach Gary Frederick said. In the UPS series CWU made serious mistakes that cost it dearly. "We faced what is or could be the best pitcher in the conference," Frederick said. "We kind of kicked the ball away and made some cru­ cial errors. It was a game we could have gotten." He added, "Lots of times games are not won, they're lost." Junior pitcher Julie Harbison said CWU's defense was strong against UPS. "In the second game our defense was good, but they were hitting the ball." ^ Harbison said improvement will come down to several factors. "Sometimes you have it together, sometimes you don't," she said. "Once it all comes together in one game I'm sure we'll start winning. Through this week's practice we'll probably come to that goal. We need to keep working hard and maybe the positive will come to our side." Tessa Timmons, a junior from Aberdeen, stretched her hitting streak to eight games before falling hitless in the opener with UPS. Her .475 average leads the 'Cats and - ranks among the best in the Pacific Northwest Athletic Conference (PNWAC). Harbison improved her team-best season record to 6-5 with a 3.03 ERA. She has finished all 11 games she has started, compiling 35 walks and 46 strike outs in 74 innings. The Wildcats take on St. Martin's Saturday in a PNWAC double- header in Ellensburg. For CWU to participate in post­ season, it almost has to sweep this doubleheader. Two PNWAC schools will advance to the West Coast regional playoffs. The regu- lar-season PNWAC champion au­ tomatically qualifies. The second- best regular season team hosts the No. 3 finisher in a best-of-three series for the second berth. WILDCAT NOTES: Central's Linda Cook has maintained her consistency throughout the season, hitting in 18 of 19 games. She was held hitless only in the second game of the doubleheader against East­ ern Oregon March 27. In her last five games, she has recorded 11 hits in 16 at bats. Cook leads the team in runs scored (13), triples (2) and walks (7). She is tied with Timmons for the doubles lead with four. Timmons leads in at bats (61), hits (29), RBIs (14) and putouts (133). • it PON T MISS SfCA-T^ O-PAY K&trhafc availiable dsilh ONUY: %^fhow ID/day ZZKRY'S FAKKlN&i l-OT 2..00 fVN PKJ oe- CHIROPRACTIC CENTER ML MYRON LMOCR DR.
