BOT's motion fails power poles stay put by Lori Bigelow and Kari Belton Staff reporters The Board of Trustees heard com­ ments from community members Fri­ day, before voting to continue with Central's new, controversial power poles. Over 100 community members filled the BOT meeting area to voice their opinions on the 110 foot struc­ tures. Among them was Stephen Jefferies of Citizens For A Beautiful Community, whose organization col­ lected over 2,000 signatures against the poles. "They will detract from the uni­ versity landscape, and the rural cam­ pus which creates a safe setting for the community. This was not malicious, but a mistake that the university plan­ ners are reluctant to admit," Jefferies said. The chief complaint among the protesters concerned aesthetics. Pri­ mary objections dealt with location, shape, height and general visual ob­ struction, as well as the disruption to the view of rural and mountain areas around Ellensburg. Others voiced concern over pos­ sible electromagnetic field (EMF) hazards, due to the lines' high voltage. Members of the science depart­ ment worried that re-routing the poles to their original location behind Hertz Hall, would delay the Phase One con­ struction of the science facility. " We think any delay of the science building would deter the students of Central Washington University," Brian Dolman, ASCWU-BOD presi­ dent, said of the students' missed op­ portunities for scientific experience. According to theDaily Record, trustee Fritz Glover, an Ellensburg resident, said the board could not vote to move the poles. He compared it to signing "a blank check." "The alternative of rerouting the power lines around the science huild- ing was inadequately defined and maximum costs were completely un­ predictable," Glover said in an inter­ view with the Record. ^UUimatel^UieJBo^ See Trustees/ page 4 -it, " S,"- - '• / £' • 'A vZy-'ZZZ: President Ivory Nelson and Frank Sanchez talk with each other before the BOT meeting on the 12th. Brien Bartefs/Observer ASCWU-BOD elections start soon by Jason Gordon Staff reporter Last year during the Associated Students of Central Washington Uni­ versity board of directors elections, students followed a national trend with only 1 in 7 students voting, ac­ cording to Logan Aimone, the Elec­ tion Committee chairman. On Thursday, May 2, elections for the 1996-97 ASCWU-BOD will be held. "These people are running to rep­ resent the students, students need to know they have a say and voice in the process and decision," Cara Lanctot, a member of the election committee said. The positions open for candidacy are: president, executive vice presi­ dent, vice president for organizations, vice president for academic affairs, vice president for student life and fa­ cilities, vice president for political affairs, and vice president for equity and community service. "I anticipate that it will go smoothly," Aimone said. "There should be some good races. It will be fun to watch." "I think it will go very well," Lanctot said. In February a task force met to evaluate the campaign code. The evaluation was used to simplify the rules of campaigning. "The task force went over and re­ vised the Candidate Campaign Code," Lanctot said. "I think because we did that, there will be a lot less problems with rulings and questions with can­ didates." Aimone said the area that he will focus mainly on the promotion of the election to students, to improve voter turn out.

Observer Thursday, April 18,1996 r Community could close crowded corners to Central cars by Aimee Peterson Staff reporter Central's drivers may find their parking options limited due to a city plan to regulate parking on side streets and new construction on campus. Presently, if a student does not have a parking permit, or cannot find a place in the school's lots, they may park their car along any side street. However, parked cars are creating pressure on the streets surrounding campus. The City of Ellensburg, with the aid of the university, is considering a proposal to create Residential Parking Zones (RPZ's). The RPZ's would pro­ hibit students, faculty and staff from parking their cars in specified areas of the community surrounding campus. "The specifics have not been ham­ mered out," Bob Witkowski, director of Community Development for the City of Ellensburg, said. "The city and the university will sign an agreement relatively soon, then the city council will hold a pub- ELECTIONS: Apathy could be a factor From page I * -m mm-. Parking along Sampson Street is a scarce commodity. Erin Drebis/Observer lie hearing, which has not been sched­ uled yet." The purpose of the RPZ's is to re­ lieve congestion caused by excess traffic and cars parked along the west and south end of campus neighbor­ hoods. Planners hope that the RPZ's will open the streets and ensure that residents have a place to park. Adding to the problem will be the prime parking spots lost due to con­ struction of the new science building, which will cause a large number of students to park on the side streets. "Phase One of the science project, which is happening now, is reducing quite a few spots near the SUB," said Witkowski. "Phase two will take up the rest of the spots." Many students prefer to drive to* classes, especially when temperatures are below zero, or they are studying late. This creates congestion in the mentioned areas. 'The library especially needs more parking, the availability is fairly limited,"John Stanfield said. "The price for a parking permit is outra­ geous, and should be included in the cost of tuition." "The permits generate most of the money for the parking lots," Rob Chrisler, director of Facilities Man­ agement, said. Chrisler said at $80 per year, the price is not too high for parking. "Central's parking permits cost less than most other universities in our state," he said. New lots will be added this sum­ mer. Soon 18th avenue and D street will have a new lot with approxi­ mately 150 parking spaces. This new lot will cost $100,000 to build, but even this large price tag will not in­ crease the cost of parking permits next year.. "We have saved up enough money to pay for the new lot," said Chrisler. "New spaces have been added, quite a bit more that have been taken out. The problem is, does it meet people's needs? Probably not, people don't want to have to walk far to class or the library." process," he said. BOD officers make important de­ cisions that effect Central students. They appoint students to over 30 standing committees, meet with the board of trustees, and control service and activity fees. "The BOD officers work hard for their money," Aimone said. 'They have a lot of say and power." The president is paid $6000 a year, this includes working. 19 hours a week. The vice presidents are paid $4800 a year and are required to work 14 hours a week. The four candidates running for president are Adam Eldridge, Lisa Allen, Brian No, and Brian Iverson. Each gave a brief reason for their de­ sire to be president. "I think that my current time on the board working with current president Brian Dolman has helped me to expe­ rience everything that a student gov­ ernment president experiences," Lisa Allen, said. "I think that I am very in touch with the students. I am very aware of the recourses on campus," Adam Eldridge, presidential candidate said.

Gepner to attend Democratic National Convention by Carrie Starbuck Staff reporter Many of us have dreams and goals that we strive for and hope to one day realize, and then there are those of us who are realizing them today. Tony Gepner, vice president for political affairs of ASCWU,. has been recommended by Sen. Patty Murray to attend the Washington Center for Internships arid Academic Seminar held at the Democratic National Con­ vention, August 18-30, 1996 in Chi­ cago, IL. The Washington Center is a non­ profit. educational organization that provides full-time internships and short-term academic seminars for col­ lege students from more than 750 col­ leges and universities in the U.S. and abroad. The Center is also the largest full-time internship program in the nation's capital. Sen. Murray was allowed to nomi­ nate just one student to attend this event, and chose Gepner. "I was in shock when I heard it." Gepner said. '.'She had one of her staff call me up, and she said. 'I can nomi­ nate a student lor this, why don't- we pick up that Tony Gepner and see if he would like to do this?'" Gepner's duties as a ASCWU board member include involving stu­ dents in the political process and in­ forming them of every kind of legis- . lative happening that affects them di- . rectly. He has also contributed to the protection of higher education in the state and national legislatures. "Constitutionally, it says that my • responsibilities are to just monitor the state level," Gepner said. "But I have taken a step further to make sure that students know everything that affects All T - s hirts. kn it s & ribbings for the month of April PATTERNS Every Wednesday!

Gepner got started in ASCWU last year when he applied for a job on the office staff. . "I did that with a goal in mind." Gepner said. "To eventually be elected. 1 was their secretary so I could work with them every day and see what all of them did learn from them and go from there." That is exactly what he did and soon became vice president for politi­ cal affairs. From that point on he has been involved as a board member of the United States Student Association (USSA), senior board member of Washington Student Lobby, and was also the Washington State coordina­ tor of the 6th Annual Northwest Stu­ dent Leadership Conference, where he met Sen. Murray. Gepner ap­ proached Murray's office and asked to have her speak as a keynote during this conference, and the invitation was accepted. At the conference, Gepner intro­ duced Murray io 500 participants in the conference, and also coordinated a session afterward where Murray spoke to about 75 Washington college students. Since then, Murray has of­ ten invited Gepner to get involved when she is speaking on educational issues, such as this April 18 when he will join 10 other student leaders in a teleconference call at the University of Washington. Murray's recommendation assures him a position among 150 students allowed into this convention program, '' but Gepner is in the middle of look­ ing for funding for the internship. "Gerald Stacy, Dean of Graduate Studies, has been quite helpful," Gepner said.

In a recent press release, Gepner stated: "I expect much of funds will be paid for out of pocket. Tough to do as a student, but this is a once in a life­ time opportunity for me and the Uni­ versity." Gepner's future plans are to excel in politics. "I'd like to get into an elected po­ sition sometime, somewhere." Gepner said. "It probably won't be directly out of college. I have to go out and learn the ropes. My main goal is to get out there in a position where I can help. I'm still in college, so I still have the idealism that I can change the world."

Observer Thursday, April 18,1996 Page S Art students make light of power poles by Toshihiro Kohara Staff reporter The art department faculty unani­ mously object to the power poles along 14th Street because of possible health hazards, not because of the poles' ugly appearance. Randall Hall, located along 14th Street, runs parallel with the planned high voltage power lines. "I am really concerned about the potential health hazard facing the stu­ dents in my class," Vince Torano, professor of art, said. . Torano and his students can see the power poles from the windows of the painting class. "My class may have discussions about the poles' drawing," Torano said. John Agars, an art professor, said that California's power line regula­ tions limit how close public school buildings can be to high tension power lines, but he doubts Washing­ ton has a health standard to determine how close people can live and work to high tension power lines. o* X EI .35SV f» C: I K\ \ - . ,%4.v. Xv •: V-" V'...Vv• Jeff Fisher assigned his class the task of drawing their interpretation of the power poles. Drawing courtesty of Tami Van DenElzen "If Washington state adopts California's limit, the power transmis­ sion capacity that they propose here would require approximately a 250- foot setback," Agars said. There is no room for such a setback on 14th Street because the lines will pass over a residential area. Agars also said that the alternative of burying the power lines is expen­ sive and results in less profit for the power company. "The state would not allow for a more expensive solution," Dick Brown, the science building project manager, said at a recent ASCWU Board of Directors meeting. He also said that the mineral oil reser­ voirs needed to cool buried power lines could cause environmental damage, leak oil or even explode. "There's too much risk," Brown said. "I am not much concerned about the appearance of the ugly poles, but about the health risks involved for us," William Dunning, profes­ sor emeritus of art history, said. "There are strong indications that the high voltage electric fields are not good for you, but there is no solid proof, just as there was no solid proof that smoking causes cancer, until just recently." Brown said that meter readings taken directly under the existing poles on campus showed electro­ magnetic fields higher than for nor-, mal power distribution lines. But he said that the readings for the exist­ ing lines was 2.6 milligauss, while a person using a hair dryer is ex­ posed to 700 milligauss. The pro­ posed lines are higher off the ground than the existing lines.

Student 'hacked' off at Observer errors This week, the Observer would like to recognize everyone involved in this power pole controversy. First of all, we want to Salute the Board of Trustees, for calling a spe­ cial session in order to hear from the campus community about the power pole issue. On the other hand, we want to Slam the Board, for not being able to come to any decisive conclusion over the same issue. This can be attributed to their 3-3 tje vote which could have been avoided if Dr. Roz Woodhouse had attended the meeting. We Slam the administration who from the beginning have done their best to provide as little information as legally possible on the power poles to the community. On the other hand, we Salute the Citizens for a Beautiful Community. As Don Quixote had his windmill, the CBC has its power poles. Though there is a good chance the CBC will fail in its endeavor, at least they're trying to help fix the situation. We want to Slam Keith Love who has taken this issue and sensational­ ized it through his position as publisher of the Daily Record. As a result he has lost something held in high regard by all journalists-objectivity. Steve Jeffries also needs to be Slammed. As a leader of the CBC, he has spammed the local media and blown off local leaders by not attending a community development meeting. While he has brought this controversy into the limelight, he has done so at the cost of his credibility. Lastly, we want to Salute those who take a stand for taking a stand on this issue, regardless of which side you were on. Whatever the outcome, at least you voiced your opinion. On the other hand, we Slam the other 90 percent of you who sat on the sidelines and did nothing. BOD elections suck...again Lei's not forget that the student government elections arc right around the corner. If you recall last year's elections, they were shrouded in contro­ versy and put a bad taste in the electorate's mouths. Well, this year there is no such problem with the candidates. The rea­ son'.' - ., ' • • » '• + - I I * There are no candidates! There arc four people running for president, two for executive vice president, and one lor each other position except vice presi­ dent for equity and community service. As of the closing date for filing, no one had applied for that position. It's an embarrassment thai we. as a society, take pride in the fact that we have a government "By ihe people, for the people" yet very lew of the people warn lo participate. To the editor: What happened to impartial, pro­ fessional journalism? To begin with, the front page spread reads: "Towers endanger learning environment" yet the head of tfie Biology department was quoted as follows: "The large shadow cast by the towers may have an impact, but I can't say if they will directly influence the pond." If the Bio Dept. Head can't say, where does the author get the brass to portray an uninformed, heavily biased statement as a fact in the headline of the school paper? The secondary title is even worse: "Wr ier towers threaten to de­ stroy outdoji science lab." Question: when did water towers become anti- educational terrorists? Third item: With all the controversy Over sexual harassment, couldn't you guys at least spell it right? Fourth: Nice of the "Observance" column to, in classic logical comparative fashion, equate a) administrators with b) Nazis and c) Josef Stalin. Many Profs on campus just loved thai one. Finally, there is the inaccurate cover statement: "Hacky sack the new habit..." Wake up and study history, folks. Hackies have been kicked in the U.S. since the six­ ties, and in Japan for over a thousand years. For a college newspaper this kind of amateurish, biased, and inac­ curate reporting makes my junior high paper look good.

Hello Observer, We at the CWU Library were pleased to-read your coverage in the April 11 issue of lhe work we've done improving CATTRAX. We hope the CWU community will find lhe changes helpful. I wanted to point out a couple of clarifications in your story', however. Your story indicated that CATTRAX is "otherwise known as" a "Quick Reference Guide." This is a major understatement — it is a comprehensive online library cata­ log and a gateway to many Internet resources! 1 suspect your reporter mistook the title of a pamphlet we created to help ^ visitors use our catalog (titled "Quick Reference Guide") for the name of the system. Also, unmentioned in the article was the fact that our system is now accessible via fhe World Wide Web.

Observer Thursday, April 18,1996 Page 7 Dealing with car and bike theft at Central by Shawn Harris Staff reporter A student's perspective If you are one of those unfortunate students that has had to deal with a vehicle prowl or a bicycle theft, I know"Exactly where you are coming from. Several days ago my car was bro­ ken into and the thieves made off with my stereo and various other odds and ends. After reporting the cri-u to the u~. pus police, I was informed that the chances of me ever seeing my things a?ain was very remote. !f you recall, in last fall's issues of trie Observer, there were many things reported stolen due to vehicle prowl­ ing however, the criminals in the 'ring' of theft used the same methods on al­ most all the cars prowled and were eventually caught. "We made the case back then and eventually knew who the guy was. We just needed to find him", Lieutenant Kevin Higgins of the campus police department said. The arrest and subsequent convic­ tion of the crook led to the disappear­ ance of vehicle prowling on campus, until recently. Bicycle theft is a common crime on college campuses, especially when the weather warms up and more students use them. One of the main reasons for bicycle theft is that they are not prop­ erly locked up or, not locked up at all. Some students only lock their front tire to the bike rack and don't realize how easy it is to have someone remove it and carry off their bike. Other stu­ dents lock the bike to itself (through the front tire and fj the frame) which has the same result. However, there are some easy so­ lutions to these problems. First of all, if you own a car, park it in well lighted areas to deter prowl­ ers. Also, if you own a faceless tape or CD player make sure to take it with you. And, as obvious as this is going to sound, always lock your doors. If you own a bike, always lock it to a well anchored object like a pole or bike rack. Students should register their bike with university police for identifica­ tion in case it is recovered. Yes, I am aware that these ideas are not foolproof. I have read that entire bike racks have been carried away so tine thief could wor", the lock at their desired location and I also know that having your car radio in your trunk or room is not going to stop a thief from tak­ ing your entire car.

There will be fliers posted everywhere and people hand­ ing out candy asking for your vote. The candy part of campaigning hap­ pens to be my favorite. You're right, the candy part isn'4. so 1M, but the ^mpty promises, baby kissing and overall vulture­ like attacks are obnoxious. What gets into people? Elections seem to bring out the worst in every­ one involved. People become overly competitive and take things person?.!. !t's a student government election, mot the presi­ dency of the United States. Speaking of presidencies, did you know that there are four people run­ ning for AS president, yet there are only two for executive vice president, one for each of the vp positions and no one for vp for equity and community service. There's that competitive greed again. Everyone headed straight for the top! How do the students know if these pi ople are even qualified? I guess you could tell a little from their campaign statements, but oth­ erwise you need to stay close to the election process. It seems that most students are turned off by elections, especially af­ ter last year's scandals. You'd think that all the public­ ity would spark some interest, if nothing else, make students initiate change by getting involved. Maybe it's the public scrutiny that students want to avoid. After all, you can be placed under the microscope if you make a wrong move. But, you should be held account­ able if ou screw up. Yeah, but the BOD tried to do that this year and their decision was over­ turned. Is there any check and balance system or can you get away with mur­ der? I guess that if you commit the crime, you no longer have to do the time — that officer happens to be running again! People are human and make mis­ takes, yet is this the type of example that an AS officer should be setting for the constituents of this University? The disappointing part is that he om needs one vote to win the election since he's running unopposed. You never ki~w. Maybe there will be a write-Mn candidate this year. Let's write-in Bob Packwood for vice president, that would be a tough race. Kind of like choosing between apples and apples. That posfc^n is being handed out on a silver platter. Yeah, but so are three others, so why should this one make a differ­ ence? I guess we'll have to chalk this up as another learning experience in the election process. Let's hope that something positive results from this whole fiasco. Yeah, and that's what we thought about last year's elections. Tfv 0 09 mmm ik... Hey, you. Yeah you. Down here.I m talking to you.

Thursday, April 18, 1996 Observer ..... . v..-:,-.-. V. People's Pond to officially re-open on May 15 by Cory Rikard Staff reporter When Central siudenls find ihem- seh es bored out of their minds, n- k- ing their brains trying to figure out what to do on a 90° Friday afternoon, they can head down to the Irene Rinehart Riverfront Park, and cm--' the great outdoors. The park, otherwise known as "People's Pond/ opens to the pub- lie May 15. Located a mile down Umptancum Road, just after Red Robin, this spacious 117-acre park has become very popular because of its many features that caier to all. ~'The open area is fantastic and well maintained and there are no au^ thorities around to intimidate you," said sophomore Charles Francis. "It's a great place to go play sports or to simply relax." With its vast, open spaces, "the Pond* not only offers fun for volleyballers, swimmers, and barbequers, but also hikers. The Atwana Trail offers spectacular scenery through forested, rugged land that surrounds a vast majority of the park, with more plans for devel­ oping trails in the near future. It is a great way to work off stress from a hectic work or school week. Freshman Chris Hull said he en­ joys the natural surrounding. Rinehart Riverfront Patl (Peoples Pond) opens officially on May IS. To get to the park head down Main St. and take a right at Subway. Follow Umptaneum Road fot * mile the entrance to the park will be on you right Garrett Grobler/Observer "With the weather being so warm and the days getting longer, after classes you can come down and walk around the trails or just relax in the sun," he said. The Atwana Trail is just one of the great activities to enjoy. The pond itself is another popular feature that attracts many guests. "My friends and I love to play volleyball, and then go cool down in the pond," said freshman Amanda Lisics. "There are plenty of places to tan and hang out with guys." "It's a very nice and well drawn out place 10 enjoy your recreational activities," said junior Ryan Johnson. "On nice days, it's a good place to meet women. The water is pretty clean, and there is plenty of space for everyone." Since it is a city owned and oper­ ated park, there are some rules and regulations to be followed. Dogs are not allowed in the park area, only on the trails with leashes. Consumption of alcohol is prohibited. Craig Carlson, the recreation di­ rector responsible for the area, said the overall 'theme' of the park is that it is family oriented. Due to the recent flooding, the park has sustained some damage, but Carlson said it will be ready for its official opening. Hours will be 8 a.m. to dusk daily,. Overnight camp­ ing is not allowed. "It's a relaxing spot to go to on a hot afternoon and just 'park it'," said sophomore Jeff Martin. Cast your troubles away by Mark Weller Staff reporter An angler stands rigid as the water rushes by him. Drawing his arm back, he propels it forward like a whip toward the fishing hole centered behind a large boulder. He watches patiently as his fly gently drifts toward its destination. Holding his breath, he wails for the an­ ticipated strike. His hearing is almost deafened by the roar of the rapids. The smell of his old fishing hat fills his nos­ trils. mixed with the fragrance of bloom­ ing llowers. Patiently, he guides his rod along the path of the drilling fly. Just as he attempts to retrieve it. the fly vanishes in a spray of water. Instinctively, he raises the tip of his rod like he learned as a child. The I'ish lugs back as his battle begins, and with this first real rush of adrenaline, he realizes thai fishing sea­ son has begun. Lakes, ponds and reservoirs are open year-round, but rivers, streams and bea- \erj'Hinds arc noi open until June i. This doesn'1 mean thai one can't hil the local public fishing areas lor some springtime lun The weaihcr is gelling warmer and ihe fishing w ill Ivgm to heal up as well, according to local fishing experts. Lor the beginner or someone who just wants logei away Irom ihe dorm for a while, there is the traditional bail and tackle setup. A license can be acquired at Bi-niart along with mosio! the essen­ tials such as lures, line, hooks and arti­ ficial bait. Live bait ii.e. worms) can he purchased ai Mr. G s Grocery Fisherman who like to use a fly pole ..in »ici what they want at Cooper s Fly Shop on Main Street. Fort Mac and " i uas Trad in i» Post also carry an as­ sortment of flies and fly-fishing neces­ sities. Fly fishing on the Yakima River has not yet opened, so a road trip to the Sun Lakes area near Ephrata, might be a good idea. Fly fishermen can take 1-90 east to­ wards Spokane until the exit for Ephrata. After taking this exit, the Sun Lakes camping area signs should come into view. Lake Lenore, an alkaline lake, is located in this area. About this time of year the Lahontan cutthroat is spawning near its shores. Because of Lenore's alkaline nature, cutthroat are the only game fish that thrive in the water. This average trout si/.e is about the same as a small steel- head: right around 28 inches. Fishing is furious and fun to say the least. It is pos­ sible lo land over thirty fish in a span of about iwo hours. From March 1 through Ma\ 31. it is catch and release onlv. This «• •/ means fishermen can'l use live bail and hooks must be barbless. Regardless, fish are spawning and are relatively soft. Lahonian cullhroat fighl like an ocean salmon, and those who hook one should he prepared for quite a battle. Useful tlies include dark colored leeches and chronimids. This lake will provide plenty of action and pictures as well. Public fishing areas closer to Fllensburg include the ponds along 1-82 and those located on Canyon Road just before the canyon. To gel lo the ponds along 1-82. Fishermen should take Van­ tage Highway and then a righi onto Old Number Six Road until a brown public fishing area sign comes into sight. To get access lo the ponds near the Yakima River, fishermen can follow the Canyon Road until they see ihe public fishing snins. These 'Jokers' aren't kidding by Sarah Petty Staff reporter The image that comes to many people's minds when they think of industrial rock is loud, long-haired, tattoo covered maniacs who scream and smash their guitars during a live performance. But, even if you're not into the Indus­ trial scene, you may still want to check out Killing Joke's new al­ bum, Democracy. Dubbed the "Forefathers of In­ dustrial," Killing Joke are one of rock's most influential bands. Bands including Nirvana, Metallica, Nine Inch Nails, and Soundgarden, claim that Killing Joke has been a great influence on their music. Band members Jaz Coleman, Youth, and Geordie got started in the UK in-1979, with'their'first re­ lease: an EP titled Turn to Red. They recorded various albums throughout the '80s and have con- tinued in ihe '90s. The album's title track slates: "Democracy is changing." It is the band's question on whal democ­ racy really is in today's world. "[The band] is basically ques­ tioning whether what we have is actually democracy or not...It's questioning where that has gone wrong and how thai can be curbed lo a degree and changed," Youth said. "And it is changing...around the world, and in America." Some songs on the album were written aboutpersorial.-expenehces' Killing Joke band members from left to right are Youth, Jaz Coleman and Geordie Walker. Photo courtesy of Alison Dyer and Zoo entertainment and beliefs. The track, "Absent Friends," was inspired by a belief the band shares about friends and fam­ ily members who have died. An­ other track titled "Prozac People," was written by Coleman after an eighteen-month period where he was on Prozac to treat his depression. Overall, Democracy is a mellow album compared to others that the band has recorded. If you are famil­ iar with previous Killing Joke re­ leases, you will notice this. If you are not, you may think of it as hardcore. While the album is a softer version of Industrial rock, the .band did not fail to include some, songs that are truly Industrial. The softness is heard especially when there are no vocals. Coleman's voice lends a Metallica feel, a huge contrast to the music itself. For the most part, I enjoyed this album. A few of the songs are a little more harsh than I prefer, but it is tolerable and can be enjoyed in the right setting. I recommend this album to anyone who enjoys rock music, but tends to shy away from hardcore, guitar-smashing tunes. If you don't like deep, raspy voices Democracy is not for you. Democracy just hit music stores April 16 for those who are interested in adding something nW to tfieir CD collections.

Spike Lee's 'Girl 6': six is for sex by Lydia West Staff reporter "Girl 6," riding on the wave of Spike Lee's popularity, sailed into Ellensburg last weekend. Starring Theresa Randle, Isaiah Washington, and Spike Lee himself, "Girl 6" is the story of a struggling, young actress (Theresa Randle) who is trying desperately to break into show business. While she won't sink to the tawdry !v-vel of bearing her breasts in a Quentin Tarantino movie, she decides that becoming a phone-sex girl, "Girl 6." is a good way to pay the rent, up­ hold her dignity (whatever), and prac­ tice her acting (uh-huh). Known only as "Girl 6" or Lovely Brown, her surname, until the very end of the film, she represents struggling actresses everywhere who refuse to accept roles that portray women as mere sex objects. Sure, being referred to as a number and fulfilling men's fantasies over the phone doesn't con­ tribute to that stereotype at all. Billed as a comedy, the only thing that is laughable about this film is its failure to actually tell any kind of re­ alistic story. While the film's themes are truly different and the story isn't one often told, but does it need to be? The film attempts to show Lovely struggle to keep her dream of becom­ ing an actress alive, while getting sucked into the life of a phone sex operator. She begins her glamorous career in an office with a bunch of other girls who have numbers for names. They have a fabulous time, holding practice sessions, reading magazines, One of Spike Lee s -Dennis , PAPER ftMOA "" ' JT% * -Dan Cox. TIME OUT I pi 1996 rci Rm Cowawn W Reservea Spike Lee's latest is being promoted Grand Central theater. as a comedy and is now showing at Photo courtesy of Twentieth Century fox and doing their nails. Then, she gets hooked. She gets her own private line at home where men can call her for phone-sex fun. The conflict in this film is supposed to be Lovely's horrible phone-sex ad­ diction, but the problem is, it doesn't look that horrible. The film provides some suspense when a homicidal- sounding customer finds out where she lives, but it lasts all of 5 minutes. He never comes over. Isaiah Washington stars as Lovely's kleptomaniac ex-husband who is in and out of her life. After getting a sample of her new, sexy pro­ fession, he tries to "reach out and touch someone," but she makes it clear that she will only be treated like a tramp on the job. Their relationship is never really established, but somehow they end up making out in a downpour of multi­ colored telephones (Are you fright­ ened?). The only man who treats her like a person is her lovable neighbor and friend, Jimmy (Spike Lee). Jimmy collects baseball memorabilia and has dreams of striking it rich in 20 years, when he'll cash in his collection. There are several directions the movie starts to go in, but it never gets anywhere. To add to its disjointed- ness, Lovely goes off into her own little daydream world frequently, cast­ ing herself in various acting roles. There's also some weird attempt to create a phone-sex saint, when Lovely gives an envelope of money to a criti­ cally injured little girl. The movie is full of half-baked ideas that need a little more time in the oven. If you're into phone-sex, you're in the mood to "get in the mood," and you don't really care about a story line, go see it. If you actually look for sub­ stance in a movie, I'd skip this one.

Observer Thursday, April 18,1996 Something to do at the bars (you know, besides drink) Page 11 by Lori Bigelow Staff reporter For those in the 21 and older crowd, the bars around Ellensburg have a lot to offer in entertainment. They' re not just places to drink anymore. Many of the bars are ready to have fun. Country western is kickin' at the Buckboard for all honky tonk fans. Tuesday nights feature kareoke and darts Wednesday through Friday are band nights. Next month, mixed doubles pool will begin. "Currently we are looking for one more team that the Buckboard will spon­ sor," said Mary Buck, owner. A tight fitting jeans contest, is also planned during the last three Wednes­ days in May, with cash prizes awarded to both male and female winners. At the Mint, it's time to get down and boogie. On Tuesdays and Thursdays customers can tell the DJ what they want to hear, then go dance the night away. Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday nights are theme nights. Past themes included 70's disco, R&B, Hat, and Dance Party. "We are looking for any new theme ideas and would love to hear any sugges­ tions," said Mark Misiewicz, owner. The mixed doubles pool league is looking for four teams the Mint will sponsor. Teams will consist of two men and two women. Sign up sheets are at the Mint. Also, for anyone who plays dans, a 1996 cricket league will be starting as soon as teams are put together. A new menu offers "the grindei" (a hot sandwich), french bread pizza, and nachos. "There's a lot happening down here, and the Mint fills up fast. So if you want to get in on the fun, come down before 10pm," said Misiewicz. Those of age can mosey on down to the Horseshoe on Monday nights for free pool. Thursday's kareoke will have you singing all night long. If being under-age is a problem, don't feel left out. There are plenty of activities here in Ellensburg for all col­ lege students. Adeline's Restaurant and Lounge has changed their name to "Adeline's Blues Cafe." The wall has been knocked down and a pool table has been added. On the April 19 they will open a section downstairs where gourmet pizza will be served. Tuesday and Thursday nights will feature local Blues, Rock, Contem­ porary, and Reggae bands. "We allow minors into the cafe until 8 p.m.," said Ron Robertson, manager at Adeline's. "There is a great studying atmosphere and we keep up on all the new music coming out. Not to mention the great food, where we cook to please." Fans of 80's rock should check out the Thunderbird Motel. Tonight the Ro­ mantics will be playing with Ravinwolf, a local band from Roslyn, opening for them. Ravinwolf is a four piece assembly and noted for their soulful originals and IlilliS Roger Satnik, a Central grad student shoots some pool at the Tav.

Ravinwolf will be hosting an outdoor concert at the Environment & Health Fair on Sunday, April 21st from 5pm- 7pm at the Kittitas county, fairgrounds if you miss them tonight. "Although there aren't a lot of big bands scheduled, you should keep checking twice a month for last minute arrivals," said Russ Lovestedt, general manager of the Thunderbird. "Some­ times bands don't get signed until the last minute and there isn't a lot of advertis­ ing." For April and May, catch Reckless, Fabulous Unknown, Something-Differ­ ent, Flock of Seagulls, Missing Person, Humble Pie, and local country band, Full Ride, with a $5 cover charge, only for Full Ride.

12 Thursday, April 18,1996 Observer A SC WU on the Power The ASCWU Board of Directors has been relatively quiet concerning the power poles because we recognize the issue for what it is: a non- issue. We believe that the University has taken more than adequate step* to re­ search alternative ideas and solicit public comment. However, no comments were made until the first two poles were erected. As a responsible student governing association, we have sought out information so that we are able to discern between what is fact and fiction. Our research has led us to some particularly interesting information. From individual research and an open hearing, this is what the student government has learned: Burying the lines would be difficult because neither Puget Power, nor any local contractor, has expertise in this area. Furthermore, the cost for maintaining buried lines is not provided for in current budget levels. EMF levels emitted from hair dryers are about 30 times higher than measurements taken from the lines at their current height. These levels will be lessened even more at the 110 foot height. The new poles, as well as the transmission lines, were fabricated to our specific design needs which means that another contrac­ tor could not use them. Additionally, they have a low surplus value. The University made the most fiscally responsible decision in the best interest of the students and the science building. Besides using a limited source of funds in a respon­ sible manner, we also believe that running the poles down a street lessens the intrusive- ness of their impact on our campus. Considering the full scope of the Campus Master Plan, we realize that this decision was well thought out, responsibly handled, and in the best interest of the students. Additionally, the Com­ munity Development Com­ mittee, which was initiated after recent contracting issues, has also considered this issue. The committee's efforts have largely been to estimate and forecast rela­ jgjjrrirnmrrr rrr rrrr^ir rr^vfirfniriivrirffr^im.irirfciii r ^r NEXT SENATE MEETING April 17 at 6:00 in SUB 206/7 NEXT FUNDS COUNCIL MEETING April 22 at 5:00 in SUB 116 CUCIMRKR EPIDEMIC April ,1.8th at 8:00pm in Club Central S I RAWBERRY MOON and EE()\Y April 24 at 7:30 in the SI B Pit BENEFIT DANCE FOR DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AND SEXUAL ASSAULT SHELTER April 19 at 9:00pm in Club Central CWU PREVIEW WEEK Be on the Preview Week Staff and add to your Resume!

Trumpetfest '96 is t It is that time of year again to get off your fanny and make a difference at Central Washington University. What does this mean? It means it is time to vote in the 1996 ASCWU Board of Directors Student Elections! This is your best opportunity to have your voice heard ~ by voting. The Office of Legislative Affairs strongly urges students to become informed about the issues and the candidates, then go out and vote in the Primary Election on Thursday,-April 24^.and in the General-Elec­ tion ort Thursday, May 1 Do you remember the good old days, in high school or junior high, when you were in your school band? Does your mom still say that you could have been a great musician like Lawrence Welk? Do you ever look at your horn and think about dusting it off and playing again? Well, if the Lawrence Welk com­ ment applies to you, maybe this isn't up your alley. But if you love great Jazz and Classical music, their TRUMPETFEST '56. / - (sponsored by CWU Trumpet Club arid Music'' • Department) is for you! On May 18, 1996, there will be a solid wall of brass coming from Hertz Music Hall. It is not the Walls of Jericho falling, but rather the greatest lineup of tions between the University and Ellensburg communities. Our last meeting indicated that this is a non-issue. Most of us agreed that the opposition to the power poles is a vocal minority. Others added that the local media has reported a larger opposition than really exists. It has also been noted that the University made a responsible decision in light of financially conservative times. In conclusion, the ASC vVU Board of Directors have determined that the University has acted respon­ sibly in seeking public comment and utilizing limited resources. If a decisipn is made to change the current plans, the stu­ dents refuse to encumber the costs which will be deducted from the science facility budget. A decision to redirect the lines near their current location would be against the students' best interest and the future plans for our campus. The ASCWU urges the Board of Trustees not to bow to a minority public opinion concerning these power lines. Finally, if the Board decides that the poles must come . down, the Associated Stu­ dents urge you to find outside funding rather than impact a science facility that is de­ signed for the future educa­ tion of Central Washington University students. Community Service Project During the month of Ellensburg community February, the ASCWU sponsored a community service quilt project. Students and community members worked to­ gether to create quilt squares which are being used to make childrens quilts. These quilts will be donated to the Home- members to help others in need. "It was a great success" stated Debi Ross, Vice President for Equity and Community Services. Although the quilts had a projected comple­ tion date of March, the task of sewing the squares together is trumpet players to come to CWU in years. The guest star lineup will include such trumpet players as Charles Butler, Principal Trumpet for the Grammy winning Seattle Symphony, Clay Jenkins, renowned LA Jazz artist, Joe Marcinkiewiscz, instrument manufacturer and artist, as well as our own Thomas Gause, Professor of Trumpet at CWU.

The Wildcats are tied for fourth place in the Pacific Northwest Athletic Conference with a 3-5 record, and have a 6-15 overall record. Coach Gary Frederick said that defense was the key until the teams batting starts to come around. "Defensively we need to become a much better team." Frederick said. In the first game, the Wildcats had six hits, two of them coming from se­ nior second baseman Holly Fulton. However the team was unable to score any runs off of the Saints pitcher. The Saints scored five of their runs in the VthitcLintfing-when Central made two errors. In the second game, the Wildcats defeated Saint Martin's 2-1.

Page 14 Thursday, April 18,1996 Observer Baseball team sweeps UPS over the weekend by Mike Parker Staff reporter The Wildcats got back into their groove last weekend, when after los­ ing six straight, the team swept four against the University of Puget Sound. Head coach Desi Storey was happy with . eep and is looking forward to the rest of the season and a chance at a playoff berth. "We needed those wins" Storey said. "UPS is a young club and we needed to get our bats out again." As for the team's chances for mak­ ing the playoffs. Storey said: "We can't lose anymore games than we should, we have to win all the games that we're supposed to." The pair of doubleheaders against UPS began last Saturday at Tomlinson Field. The team rallied in its first game to pull out a 6-5 win. In the sec­ ond game, the Wildcats smashed the Loggers, 12-3. In the opener, the Wildcats trailed by a.run in the top of the fifth, but David Blockinger had an RBI single and Steve Poler stole home to put the team up 6-5. Wildcat pitcher Ryan Krueger kept the team out of late trouble, coming out of the bullpen to pitch two perfect innings, getting three strikeouts and earning a save. Krueger also kept the Loggers quiet in the second game, entering in the seventh inning and insuring the Wildcat's 12-3 victory. Wildcat hitters belted the Loggers in game two. Stellar performances from Blockinger and Mike Reese, each with three hits, including a triple for Blockinger and a double for Reese, gave the team more than enough runs to burn the Loggers. On Sunday, the Wildcats traveled to Tacoma for two more games with UPS. The teams were tied 2-2 in the opener after three innings, when the Wildcats turned on the chainsaw thas cut the Logger's pitching in half. With the bases loaded in the top of the fourth inning, Steve Poler smashed a grand slam. It was the first of the sea­ son for the Wildcats. Other Wildcat feats included three hits from Jeremy Denny, two hits each —H We needed those wins. UPS is a young club and we needed to get our bats out again.

Beckley .believes the team is more relaxed coming down the stretch and having a little more fun. "There's a different atmosphere in the dugout," Beckley said. "Every­ body isn't on pins and needles pray­ ing our guy gets a hit," The second game of Sunday's doubleheader was the third in the se­ ries in which the Wildcats scored in double digits. The victory was never in doubt as the Wildcats thumped the Loggers 9-1 in just the first two in­ nings. The 'Cats held on to win 10-6. Mark Stewart earned the win his fourth of the year. On Tuesday April 9, the Wildcats dropped a pair of games to Whitworth College by scores of 4-2 and 7-2. The first game this doubleheader was dead even at 2-2 after five and a i half innings of play. It was decided when Whitworth standout Larry Turner belted a triple off Ron Jablonski in the bottom of the sixth, helping the Pirates to their 4-2 win. The Wildcats had seven hits in the game, most notable a home run by Blockinger, and a double by Poler. The second game was a good one for Central's Davidson, who had three hits. Davidson was not the only standout hitter Blockinger had two hits and went four for five in the doubleheader. Despite decent hitting, the Wild­ cats managed only to get two men home. The Pirates had three double plays in the game, including one that came in a no out, bases loaded situa­ tion. The 'Cats have four home games this weekend against Northwest Nazarene.

Observer Thursday, April 18,1996 Page IS SOFTBALL: Team with Saint Martin's from page 13 against the Mountaineers from Eastern Oregon State College. In the opening game senior Julie Harbison who has been out with a sore shoulder, made her first pitching start of the season. She pitched three hit- less innings before being relieved by Sandstrom. Senior third baseman Brenda Swanberg had four hits and junior shortstop Brenda Compton had two hits that lead the Wildcats offense. The Mountaineers defeated the Wild­ cats, 2-1. In the next game the Mountaineers out hit the Wildcats 10-5 resulting in the 9-1 win. Halfway through their conference schedule Central is tied for fourth place. They trail both Puget Sound University and Western Washington University by just one game in the race for second place. Today at 1 p.m. Central is playing a doubleheader at home against WWU. The WWU team is not an over-powering team Frederick said, and if the Wildcats play strong defense the team has an excellent chance of defeating the Vikings. Central also has a doubleheader here, Tuesday April 23, against Simon Fraser at 1 p.m. Simon Fraser leads the conference. Frederick said Simon Fraser has pitching abilities similar to the Wildcats except that they mix things up, Such as bunting, drag bunting, and slapping the ball. Central's junior varsity team is now 7-2 for the season. The JV Wild­ cats had a doubleheader sweep against Walla Walla college on Sunday. Freshmen catcher Jana Bishop and sophomore infielder Amy Hughes each had four hits which lead Central's JV team to 8-0 and 15-3 victories. Bishop drove in six runs for the Wildcats. In the first game she had a two run homerun in the fifth. In the sixth inning she also hit a game win­ ning single. In the second game, she hit a single and a double which re­ sulted in scoring three runs. On Saturday the Wildcats split with Pacific Lutheran's JV, winning the first game 6-5 before losing the second game 5-3. Freshman Tracey Madison pitched a one-hit shut out for the Wildcats. She retired the final 17 batters. Bishop had three hits and drove in two runs to lead Central. Freshman outfielder Amber Rikerd had two hits and scored two of Centrals three runs in the second game.
