Beck Hall resident remembered by Sara Bickler Staff reporter The recent death of a Central fresh­ man has left many students that knew him with feelings of greiat sorrow and anger. Adam Exstrom, 19. - of Redmond, Wash, was involved in a car accident around 2 a.m. Sun­ day, May 5. After dropping off a friend, he was driving alone in his Jeep Cherokee just minutes from his home. On Novelty Hill, located on the outskirtsof Red­ mond, Ex strom'scar ran over a street sign, hit a tree, and plummeted into a heavily wooded ravine. It was the fallen sign that tipped off a local man that there had been an accident, and emergency vehicles were called immediately to the scene. Exstrom was pronounced dead that morning at Harborview Medical Center in Seattle. Adam Exstrom. Friends that lived with Exstrom in Beck Hall got word of the accident Sunday afternoon. Eric Cooke, Exstrom's close friend and roommate, got a call from a friend back home who broke the news of Adam's death. "I was in total disbelief." said Cooke. "It was so hard to tell all our friends that he was dead. 1 remember walking down the hall and people coming up to me asking what was wrong. It wasn't long before every ­ one w as cry ing and calling others to let them know." Beck LGAs were instructed to meet freshmen at Beck's door as they returned from weekend activities. "I came home later that evening and you could feel the tension as you walked through the front door." said Beck resident Melissa Slane. "People were overcome w ith grief and nobody really knew how to handle the initial shock." With the case still under investiga­ tion by the King County Police De­ partment. students still don't know what events led up to the fatal acci­ dent. . "There have been different stories about what actually happened prior to the accident, but it is verv difficult to except that it is possible that we will never know any details about what happened to our friend." said neigh­ bor Julie Reed. Over 45 Central students, mostly residents of Beck Hall, attended fu­ neral sen ices last Fridav in Redmond. "The funeral gave us a sense of closure." said family friend Tiffany Stetson. "Seeing his family and all the people that came from Central really set an intimate tone for the service." A week later, the halls of Beck are still unusually quiet. Quotes that sum­ marize the feelings friends had for Adam are written on walls and w in­ dows throughout the hall. "Adam was a streat cu\ and rav w W » » best friend.'* said neighbor T.J. Barker. "It is up to us to keep his memory alive, and remember him as a young and energetic person, the w a he would have wanted us to think of him."

Observer Enrichment halls hope Thursday, May 16,1996 to by Uli Martin Staff reporter What do Meisner, Beck, and Hitchcook all have in common? They are all enrichment halls here at CWU. The enrichment halls are offered as a one-year program of enhanced aca­ demic and social opportunities for first-year freshmen students. They provide an environment that helps stu­ dents adjust to university life and make the most of their first year. , "With this program we try to help students as much as possible to ease them from, high school to college," said David Wisin Coon, director of residence living The enrichment program in Beck, Meisner, and Hitchcock is different /than activities in other halls because it provides students with extra ben- A' nv - w* An enrichment hall resident takes advantage of the,study, . . . . • . s areas provided by the program. Garett Grobler/ Observer efits. For $370 more a year a student receives a private weight room, math and English tutors, a Macintosh com­ puter lab staffed with a trained atten­ dant, a peer mentor who helps with academic scheduling, and numerous social activities, including field trips throughout the state of Washington. When the enrichment program moved from Muzall and Wilson Halls to Beck, Hitchcock, and Meisner things got a little complex. In this move financial problems arose be­ cause expanding to three buildings made things more complicated. "Financially, Housing did not bud­ get correctly and we ended up having to adjust more than we wanted to, said Coon, "That is why we had lo move the weight room from Hitchcook to Beck to make a bigger and better one." Coon said that the students at Hitchcook still have access to the weight room at Beck and Meisner. "Some students at Hitchcook aren't happy be­ cause they don't have their own weight room. It only had a few stairmasters and exercycles, but now with it all at Beck it makes for a nice weight room that everyone can use," said Kim Kuresman, LGA at Hitchcook. Coon said he is glad that students had concerns about the Enrichment program. / "They are paying extra for the pro­ grams. so it is good that they voice their concerri,"said Coon. To help facilitate student's needs, a universal key to get into any three of the Hall doors was proposed to all students of the Enrichment program. "This didn't quite make the draw­ ing boards because of security rea­ sons," said Norm Wright, area coor­ dinator of Residence Living. Wright said fulfilling students ex­ pectations will keep the enrollment of the Enrichment program full. Housing is thinking about other options 10 make students paying the extra $370 worth their while. A Superlab. a lab with a lot of comput­ ers. Vax and World Wide Web access is on the drawing boards. "We think having one big, super computer room between the three Halls would be ideal," Coon said. A proposal for a scanning card in­ stead of a key that will open doors to the Halls is an idea. This way moni­ toring who comes and goes would be easier and would allow for the halls lo be secure. "If you had one huge room, or 'Su­ per Room' for all of these Halls it would be better than having three little rooms with only a few computers or stairmasters in them," Coon said. Housing is trying to do their best to make the enrichment program worthwhile. Students didn't have much to comment on this topic. "I like the Enrichment program because you get to do more.stuff than other Halls," said Scott Subring, freshman. PEEPING TOM: Students expose trespassing culprit From page 2 tion?" David Wain Coon, director of resi­ dence living said that all residence hall staffs handled the situation as di­ rected by Residence Living. "We didn't want to cause a panic, because the police were very close to an arrest. Sometimes it is very coun­ terproductive to have people panick­ ing," Coon said. Meier agreed that there should not have been a notification of the entire campus community while the police were investigating the incidents. "There's a balance of hysterical response and needless worry about it, and the other thing that can happen sometimes is inadvertently affect how effective you can be in getting to the bottom of it. Fortunately, as I under­ stand it, they are about to arrest some­ body." Rittereiser also said that an arrest was possible, and declined to give too many details about the suspect, other than to say the suspect is not a mem­ ber of the local community. But he also said, since the suspect made no violent or aggressive moves, the case would be handled as a misdemeanor trespass. help find jobs by Jo Lynn Draper Staff reporter The Ellensburg branch of the Washington State EmpIoymentSccu- rity (WSES) bureau is closing its doors on June 7.

In the story weFe comments Dr. Sarah Shumate, the vice president lor student affairs, made to several basketball players and report­ ers. Her comments, though inflammatory, were not as bad as the fallout from the article's publication. As a result, we learned several important points. First of all, we learned that people are reading [he-Observer. Like a wildfire, word spread across the state about her controversial quotes. The story about the coaching crisis was front page news by Friday morning. From-the Yakima Herald-Republic to The Oregonian, from KXLE in Ellensburg to KVI in Seattle, people were talking about the situation at Central. Second, wc learned that Dr. Shumate needs more experience in media handling. From the minute the papers hit the newsstand she was on the defensive, claiming that four different students, on two separate occasions, had misunderstood, misinterpreted and misquoted what she was saying. On KVI 570 on Friday, she claimed that she didn't remember the con­ versations. Later, in a letter to the community, she claimed that the Ob­ server had used "second-hand reporting.. .juxtaposed with (other) com­ ments" in order to draw inaccurate conclusions. Finally, she denied the whole incident. The last thing Dr. Shumate wanted to do was attack her own charges. In her letter to the community she makes a point of calling the Observer staff "undergraduate reporters." For many who read this, the connotations were clear - the Observer was a group of unprofessional students, and they didn't take their jobs seriously. We hope that we have demonstrated to the contrar) - that even undergraduate reporters can be as thorough and accurate as professionals. The response from the community and the pro­ fessional press has been supportive of our efforts. Last, we learned there is no leadership at Central. The Board of Trust­ ees Chair. Ron Dot/.auer. said that the issue with Dr. Shumate was a per­ sonnel and not a poiic issue, effectively dropping the issue in President Nelson's lap. President Nelson's first reaction yva.yio say that he. hadn't read the article in the paper-and wasn't concerned. Thus, the fate of the situation was dropped in Dr.,Shumate's kip, . . ... If there had been real leadership in Barge Hali last week, the president uould have taken charge as the spokesman of the university, rather than passing the buck in,a public relations crisis to one of his recently hired \ ice presidents. The people up in Barge Hall learned a lot of important lessons this week. Let's hope those lessons aren't forgotten as soon as they toss their copies .»l the Onscner in the trash uir. hopefully, the recycling bin). Shumate's letter to the community Letter to the Community: I would like to clarify several state­ ments attributed to me in the May 9 edition of Central Washington University's student newspaper, the Observer. Indeed, I did have a conversation this week with two students who were members of this year's men's varsity basketball team, about the university's national search for a coach. However, I did not say nor do I believe, that our team would have won more close games this year if we had more per­ sons of color. Second-hand reporting of my con­ versation with these two players, jux­ taposed with comments I made in an interview with Observer staff, seem to have led these undergraduate report­ ers to conclusions which do not accu­ rately reflect my academic values, my professional judgment or my personal feelings. ' Yes, Central Washington Univer­ sity is — and has been for years — committed to providing educational and athletic opportunity for a diverse student population. Yes, Central Washington Univer­ sity sports teams have for years given talented and dedicated student athletes of all racial and ethnic backgrounds the opportunity to represent our uni­ versity and compete successfully at the conference, district, regional and national levels. Yes, in my professional judgment, coaches have a responsibility not only to recruit and teach student athletes, but also to encourage, enable and motivate those students to prepare themselves successfully for careers — by establishing and pursuing their aca­ demic goals to graduation. Yes, as the hiring authority whose responsibility it is to select Central's next men's varsity basketball coach, I am vitally interested in comparing the four finalists' credentials and track records in student recruitment and re­ tention, team-building, win-loss record, and commitment to goals — like diversity and graduation—which Central Washington University holds high. I am committed to rebuilding the proud athletic tradition of Wildcat men's basketball — winning contests, graduating students, and providing students of all backgrounds opportu­ nity to compete and excel. I hope to announce the name of Central's new men's basketball coach next week. And, I hope that all of you who share Wildcat Pride will join me in supporting the successful candidate as we work together to build the vic­ tories — both on the court and off — of the 1996-97 se.ason and beyond.

The statements she has been making in the Observer show her true feelings concerning cultural diversity. Wouldn't it be great if our campus was so diverse that women and minorities filled every position? I agreed with Ms. Shumate when she told The Ob­ server that "(she) felt it was important to have a female" in the position of Director of Financial Aid. It is more important that the school look for a Why did she decide to make formal woman to fill this position rather than to have someone who has a back­ ground in financial aid.

Obviously, talent in any area does not have anything to do with race. "Color" has nothing to do with what makes a good basketball player. Blaming of the team's defeats on an absence of team "diversity" shows a definite lack of realistic perspective on a game well-played. A close game can be decided by any number of fac­ tors.

Page 6 Thursday, Nay 16, 1996 Observer APPALLED: Damage IS done, now Central student journalists are irresponsible needs to move on and strive for excellence From page 5 ihis is ridiculous. Granted there are many great players of "color", hut there are great players of all ethnic backgrounds. Skin color does not dic­ tate ability or the desire to win. Skin color does not win close names. Those things come from the heart and soul of the player, and last year's team showed both. Sometimes the ball just doesn't roll your way. Racism is alive and well in this country and can be found in its businesses, governments, and universities. And, as this incident shows, it can be found here at Central. It is unfortunate that we, the student body, have allowed a person like Ms. Shumate to become a member of our university. However, the damage is done. From here we must do the right thing. We must recruit players based on ability and desire, not the color of their skin. We must let everyone know thai racist ideas will not be accepted on our campus in any form and toward any group. Let's give everyone an equal opportunity to attend our univer­ sity and participate in our athletic de­ partment. We must demand excel­ lence if we are to produce excellence. Carl Zaremba student Administration discriminating against athletic program To the Editor, Before jumping to conclusions about what Vice-President Sarah Shumate may or may not have said about the relatonship betweep,racial, composition of CWU's basketball teams and winning, it is important to note the source of the allegation, the Obsetver. I learned many years ago about the damage unsophisticated student jour­ nalists can cause through misquota­ tion, misunderstanding, and misinter­ pretation of remarks. A student labo­ ratory newspaper can cause just as If there is any doubt as to a person's meaning, it is the reporter's obligation to have that person clarify his or her intent. It is wholly illegitimate and ir­ responsible (or the jpurn^Hst to specu­ late on that meaning and, worse, to report those speculations as fact as did the Observer. In the very next sen­ tence the Observer went on to assert in the form of a rhetorical question that "... the Vice President for Student Af­ fairs openly says the way to win in basketball is to actively recruit more minorities." (emphasis mine.) If she made such a claim "openly," the Ob- much personal and social damage as ser\er certainly did not present evi- a professional paper, and for this rea- dence of the fact. son, I have long been unwilling to sub- I have no idea what Dr. Shumate Dear Editor. 1 an writing this letter as a con- w- cerned husband, alumni, former CWU coach and city resident of Ellcnshurg. The discriminatory, rac­ ist agenda of the CWU's Ivory Nelson-led administrdtion is despi­ cable at best. It goes beyond basket­ ball. It goes beyond the recruitment of "color". Hell, most of the CWU coaches can't afford food, let alone money to recruit. My wile. Lori. your swim coach, has been hurt deeply by this Admin­ istration: the insult is her worth to the program. Altera 15 year commit­ ment to CWU, she is going to be re­ leased from her teaching duties by the PE chair (another area I question in this University). Lori, who coaches the largest women's team on campus, and through the years the most successful at Nationals, with the help of former coach Bob Gregson. has asked Ms. Shumate for full-time coaching status. The response was that no money was available. Lori is one of only two fe­ male coaches on campus, yet she is not worth a full time coaching posi­ tion? No money avialable? No women allowed? Rumor has it Dr. Nelson and Shumate offered up to $50,000 to a basketball coach that has not been hired as of yet? Will Greg get this money? Will women's basketball, volleyball or track? Will football? Maybe a bonus for winning the title? Other examples of this financial discrimination: the soccer coach has two teams, includ­ ing the second largest women's team on campus. How's he going to recruit when he hardly gets paid? Baseball is the laughing stock of the N. W., not because of their abilities, but because of no money for coaches, equipment or travel . How are they going to recruit? An open check book for basketball only? The current administration is fail­ ing the student body and alumni. In today's politically correct society their firing should be automatic. It is bad enough to see the coaches of the school being torn apart by the bigotry of Dr. Nelson and Shurate, but it is you, the student body, that must pay the price in the end. Ask yourself, are mit to campus news interviews on se­ rious subjects. In the case in question, it is signifi­ cant to note that the Observer ("Bas­ ketball Blues", May 9,1996 p. 4) re­ ported that Dr. Shumate "... seemed to relate the number of black athletes on the hirings of people based on their the team with the team's ability as a ability to teach or lead or on a second­ ary agenda?

She goes on to allege that the reason for this imbalance is Greg Sparling's in­ ability "to recruit players of color who can stick." Not knowing Greg Sparling or his abilities, the comments Shumate propagates lead me to believe this guy is really not too nice. However, read­ ing on in the article, it would appear that the person with the faulty recruit­ ing practices is Sarah Shumate herself. I would think that Greg's job would be to recruit players not colors. To attract the best of the shooters, passers, drib­ blers he can and regardless not be­ cause of color. Sarah, on the other hand, is appar­ ently basing her recruitment of coach­ ing candidates on their record of in­ volving colored athletes. I don't say this to criticize any of the candidates who interviewed for the job, they probably were unaware of Shumate's biased opinions in this matter. Unless she were as blatant in here interviews with them as she was with the Observer reporters. Additionally what about the practice of stringing on the process without even informing current coach he is not being consid­ ered? Her strong statements about Greg combined with her description of the "next" coach clearly show the reader that Greg was not in the running, yet she let hi'm continue to wait for an answer and put his own career on hold. The record of the Wildcats speaks for itself. Much change has occurred in the last few years/There will always be good players and not so good play­ ers. Players who have other problems off the court and players who just don't meet up to the coaches expecta­ tions. But when we choose players be­ cause of color, we are taking a giant step backwards. It is clear the recruiter who missed the mark on this one was the one that recruited Sarah Shumate. If the bigoted statements she allegedly told the Observer reporters reflect her true feelings it is her position we should be scouting for not Greg's. Karen Griffin CWU Alumna
Observer Thursday, May 16, 1996 Page 7 by Sarah Petty Staff reporter LouAnne Johnson, author of My Posse Don 7 Do Homework,and real life hero of the movie, "Dangerous Minds," is coming to McConnell Auditorium to speak about the power of choice. Johnson has written several books and is a teacher in New Mexico. She has inspired many students to think for themselves and to choose who they are. Johnson's presentation will take place at 7:30 p.m. on May 23 with no admission charge. The following is what Johnson had to say in a recent telephone interview. Q: Where are you from and where do you live now? A: I'm from Youngsville, PA., which is just south of Lake Erie, right in the snow belt. Now I live in New Mexico and I'm staying. It doesn't snow here! Q: Tell me a little bit about your background. How did you become what you are today and what events led you to teach? A: Well, I went to college right af­ ter high school. I dropped out and joined the Navy. I was a journalist for eight years and got my degree in psychology. Then, I went into the Marine Corp OCS and got my commission as a Second Lieutenant. I decided that I didn't want to be in the military all my life. I wanted to do something important. I started writing when I was ten so there wasn't a question of whether or not I'd write. I decided to become a teacher because I kept reading about kids graduating from school who couldn't read and write and I thought that was criminal. I also didn't believe they were as bad as people said they were. Q: Were they as bad as people said they were? A: No, but they wish they were. When I went in the Navy, I used to cry all the time because the guys would pick on me, so I learned to act tough even though I wasn't. I was really shy when I was young, so when I went in the class­ room, I'd just look at [the kids] and say, "I know why you're acting like you're tough, because you wish you were. You wish you wouldn't hurt your feelings, you wish you weren't scared, you wish you weren't angry, but guess what? You are and I'm not going to tell anyone so your secret is safe with me." Q: Are you still teaching? A: Yes. Actually, I'm not going to be teaching this fall. I'll be doing work­ shops with student teachers at colleges. I'm working on a handbook for new teachers and I'm also working on a book for parents. Q: When you come to Central, what are you going to speak about?

'Supernova' and 'Energies' to hit Spurgeon Gallery by josh Cooley Staff reporter "Supernova," and the "Energies of Being," two art exhibitions, are coming soon to the Sarah Spurgeon Gallery. The graduate thesis exhibition will showcase the artistic styles and techniques of Jeff Fisher, 26. and Denise DeBusk, 26. The opening is scheduled for 3 p.m. on Saturday, May 18, and the show will run 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday, May 20 through Friday, May 24. "My show is an emphasis on sculpture." Fisher said. "It dis­ cusses everything from the satura­ tion of technology to the recom- bining of the inumeral images of society." Fisher's presentation will in­ clude sculptures and drawings. "And lots of other junk," said Fisher. DeBusk's artistic specialty is mono-type and wood-cut prints, and her show will also have draw­ ings. Monotype prints deal with th6 manipulation of a single image drawn with ink on a Plexiglas plate, or the artist can place ink over the entire plate, then wipe it away to obtain an image. With a wood-cut print, the art­ ist carves images into a plate of wood.

The show will run May 18 through May 20. Sculpture by Jeff Fisher the uncarved, flat portions of the wood-plate leave an image on the paper. DeBusk's exposition will dis­ play between 15 and 20 prints and drawings. "Basically, I am dealing with the concerns, or significance, of the interface between human na­ ture and animal nature, in a spiri­ tual state," DeBusk said. The drawings.'.Fisher and DeBusk will show contain the same subject matter and styles of their specialties. Both artists agree they would like people to come away from the exhibition with stimulated minds. "I want to mystify people." Fisher said. "I want to reflect the chaotic slate of American media." DeBusk, on the other hand, wants to stress the procedure of her art. "I want people to be intrigued by the images and the process of creating the works." she said. "The process is just as important as the images." Being an art student includes using university facilities which makes the process easier and smoother. Even though Fisher and DeBusk are ready to graduate, they don't want to leave the art facili­ ties at Central. "The key to making art is the facilities," DeBusk said. "Being a printmaker requires a print. A printing press is the price of a car and weighs a ton." Eventually. DeBusk would like to teach her profession at the col­ lege level and once again have the art facilities of a university at her disposal. Fisher doesn't have a set plan of attack for a profession. "I plan to be a rocket scientist," Fisher said. "No, actually I don't j even-want to think about, what I'm •going to be'doing." Fisher and DeBusk said they also spend a lot of money on re­ sources and materials. The National Endowment for the Arts isn't providing as much money for art students as it has in the past. "The NEA has been lapped out." Fisher said. "So donations are happily accepted, and my i 986 silver Honda Accord is for sale." Fisher and DeBusk will gradu­ ate in June with masters of art de­ grees, then take a year off. Then, both art students plan to funhcr their education and get a master ' s of fine arts degree.

Damm is also a member of the band Groundflower, which formed well before Long Shot, so he has to be careful about scheduling conflicts. "I told [Longshot] that Groundflower would be my primary group, but I'd be more than willing to help them out," Damm said. They decided to name themselves by going to a horse race and taking on the name of whoever the longshot was. "Then it dawned on me that we should call [the band] Longshot," Johnson said. "I was actually joking when I came up with the name, and I called [Udager] up and left it on his answering machine as a joke. They came to practice the next day and said that was our name, so it kind of sur­ prised me." All the members expressed their love of music and said if they weren't playing in front of an audience, they'd be playing at home. "I get to play music in front of an audience for a few hours, and I get paid too," Bellamy said. They always hope to keep the crowd into the music. "Usually in country, if people aren't dancing, something's wrong," Udager said. Right now, Longshot is satisfied with being a local band and playing around the valley. "I think we're just kind of going to roll with the punches and if some­ body comes from outside the valley and says 'We'd like you to come play' in Yakima or wherever, I think we'd do it, but right now we're just not wor­ rying about it," Johnson said.

Michelle [Pfeiffer] read [My Posse Don't Do Homework] and tried to maintain the character, the integ­ rity and one of the things that we had talked about was keeping this idea that you choose what you are, which is probably the most impor­ tant lesson I try to give my stu­ dents. It doesn't matter how much money your family has, or what color your skin is. or what gender you are. No one makes you a liar or a hard worker. I think that came through, but there was a bunch of Hollywood stuff. For example, one third of my students are white. I think that's really important be­ cause it's not poor minority kids who are ruining our schools, which some people would like you to believe. White kids have just as many problems and it's not an is­ sue of money, either. Q: Were you involved in the making ofthe movie? A: Yeah. They showed me the scripts and 1 made some sugges­ tions on them. I went there a couple of times, but I was teach­ ing at the time and I was more con­ cerned with my teaching than with the movie. Q: How has being in the mili­ tary and teaching changed your life? What do you think you would be doing now if you hadn't gone through those things? A: Well, I'd still be writing, but I don't know what I'd be writ­ ing about. Something different, I'm sure. I guess, since I grew up in a small town and being in the military....which is something very different from anything I ever would have done, I guess I got to learn a lot about different cultures and people and see the differences, but also realize the similarities. So, I guess it changed my outlook on people, particularly on people's prejudices against what they don't know. Q: If you could change any­ thing about your life, what would it be? 4u. A: I would have met my hus- sooner. Q What the plain ihir you rica 'Twister': it's not just a game any more by Cory Rikard Staff reporter "Twister," Michael Crichton's new movie about a team of tor­ nado chasers, has just touched down in Ellensburg. Some have referred to them as the "eye of God" while others see them as a thing of beauty. If you have ever witnessed one, you know the sheer power and magni­ tude they possess. They are tornadoes, and can rip a house from its roots and drive wheat stalks through trees at will. Bill Paxton and Helen Hunt head the cast of this two-hour spe­ cial effects monster which opened Friday at the Liberty Theater downtown. The story begins in the rural Midwest, mainly the plains of Oklahoma, with Jo (played by Hunt) and her team of chasers pre­ paring to try something no one else has ever done. Synopsis: Tornado chasers do their thing. Ups: Incredible special effects Downs: Underdeveloped plot Overall: 3 stars (out of 4) Their objective is to better un­ derstand tornados by launching hundreds of small balls into the eye of the storm that will radio back its progress. Bill, (played by Paxton) who used to head the operation, and is separated from Jo, returns to his team while trying to finalize their divorce The problem is they aren't the only ones going about the project. Cary Elwes ("Men In Tights," "The Crush") plays the part of Jonas, a former classmate of Jo and Bill who has been corrupted by big business and has found a passion for money, not the storm. As the tension between the two teams mounts. Jo is overcome by emotion and revenge on the force of a tornado that claimed her fa­ ther years before. The film's incredible special effects seem to put the audience directly in the center of the twister. Amazing shots and a solid soundtrack give viewers a new 'twist' on how they view storms. The plot line leaves something to be desired, but what it lacks in acting, "Twister" makes up for in thrills. This is not your average, run- of-the-mill movie. Crichton has come up with another blockbuster to complement his "Jurassic Park" popularity. This is one movie to see in the­ aters for the scand and picture quality that is provided by the sil­ ver screen. Definitely a nail biter. "Twister" just might make your head spin. 3 Here's relief * frofojMt pressure of school! }^fj, uwuofk cftart students b ntiiz* ,'oa tWfAkrcliflsc m :aw 1% (,yicltyfc|es tfymt-ii/ve Of bee# J» 5 * »' -M- \
Thursday, Hay 16,1996 Observer / reacts to by Jeff Foster, Curt Nelson and Rob Kauder Staff reporters Remarks about Central's basket­ ball team and its racial diversity set off a furor among faculty, students and boosters last week. Before the dust cleared, a chain of events rippled across the campus, and the state as well. At the center of the controversy is Vice President for Student Affairs Sarah Shumate. She got there after making comments regarding both in­ terim coach Greg Sparling's ability to recruit players of color who can stick, and the racial make-up of this year's men's basketball team. The response was overwhelming: • The article in last week's Ob­ server sparked stories in the Daily Record, Yakima Herald-Republic, and newspapers on the west side of the Cascades. Television stations, such as KAPP-35 in Yakima, and radio sta­ tions, such as KVI570 and KIRO 710 in Seattle and KXLE here in Ellensburg carried the story. • After Shumate's comments were printed in the Observer. Athletic Di­ rector Gary Frederick, football coach Jeff Zenisck. and women's basketball coach Nancy Katzer all threatened to resign. • Shumate responded to Frederick's comment by saying she hoped he would follow through and resign. • Numerous boosters from the lo­ cal community threatened to pull their support from the athletic program in response to Shumate's comments. The family of Gil Coleman also said they would pull the Gil Coleman Me­ morial Scholarship from Central. • Shumate's first choice for the coaching position. Eddie Andrist. de­ clined to take the job. Players on the team - both past and present and-black and white - were concerned about Shumate's opinions regarding the program as well. Returning forward Willie Thomas said it's not the coach's responsibility to keep: players eligible. Former player Barry Johnson agreed with Thomas that it is the player's-not the coach's - responsibility to stay eli­ gible. "But to a degree a coach has to of­ fer tutoring sessions outside the ones provided by the university," Thomas said. Thomas also disagreed with Shumate's comments about the team needing more players of color. "Whoever is going to get out there and win is who I want on my team, I don't care if they are purple," Thomas said. "We need to get athletes in here who can play no matter what color." Jeff McDonald, a forward on last year's team, said it wasn't right to say that about players of any color. "It'sB.S.... She killed our chance of getting recruits, that's not fair to anybody, not the players, the univer­ sity or the boosters." McDonald said. It's B.S.... She killed our chances of getting recruits, that's not fair to anybody, not the players, the university or the boosters. Forward Jeff McDonald "She (Shumate) had a responsibility to get us a coach and she's beat around the bush and hurt our chances for next year." Athletic Director Gary Frederick was also affected by Shumate's com­ ments. He went on the record last week saying he would quit his job if Sparling was not retained as the bas­ ketball coach. Shumate replied to Frederick saying that she hoped he would follow through on it. Frederick did not reply to Shumate's statement except to say that she was under a great deal of pressure about the coaching decision. He did, however, say he was concerned about Shumate's charge that Sparling's coaching ability and the basketball team were falling from their former prominance. "I think he (Sparling) wants to stay because he has a lot of loyalty to Cen­ tral, if you could cut Greg open he'd bleed crimson and black," Frederick Said. "I think Greg did a great job, with the injuries and other handicaps." Frederick said many of Central's coaches played for or were assistants to other coaches who made Central athletics great, and many of them are here because of the way they feel about the school. "I think the young coaches we have here now are as tight a group as we've ever had," Frederick said. Another person who is discouraged is local dairyman Gary Winegar, a lo­ cal booster of Central's athletic pro­ gram. His family has had a long­ standing relationship with the basket­ ball program. Gary's father, Truman, grew up with Dean Nicholson and they played basketball together. "I'm really concerned for Sparling now," Winegar said. "If the comment is substantiated - that she said that he can't recruit and keep people of color on the team - that's putting a scar on his reputation for the rest of his life." Winegar stressed he didn't want to tell anyone at Central how to do their jobs, just as he didn't expect anyone to tell him how to be a dairyman.. But he was worried about the course Cen­ tral was plotting in recent years. "Through working with the Com­ munity Development Committee, I've talked to a lot of people on campus." he said. "The common complaint over and over is that the administration is trying to micromanage everything." Winegar said his concern came from the fact that the whole commu­ nity is based oh the students and that Ellensburg is interested in Central's future. .. ." "If the alleged statements are in fact true, that's a direction that Cen­ tral Washington University does not want to go down, nor this commu­ nity," Winegar said. "If Sarah really feels that way, then she better find another university to work at." The Daily Record reported on Monday that John Frazzini, another Central booster, had called for a spe­ cial meeting, scheduled for Wednes­ day, between boosters and Central administrators to discuss the situation. While Frazzini said to the Record that Dr. Shumate would be attending the meeting, Shumate confirmed on Tues­ day that she would not attend due to a prior commitment. President Nelson could not be reached to verify whether he would attend. Brothers Aaron, Garth and Jared Lind jogging with Hike Zahn (center left) may be joined with their sister on next years track team. Shantal Chase/Observer Track team sends eleven members to nationals by Paula Sartain Staff reporter Eleven track and field athletes will compete with the best in the nation next week. The Central men placed fourth in scor­ ing with 88 points iri the Pacific North­ west regional meet last week. "The two-dav event was jarri-packcd with action." said assistant Coach Charlie Smith. Freshman Chris Courtney was victo­ rious in both the 1 (X) and 2()0 meters, with season bests of 10.83 and 21.80. "He (Courtney) suprised the heck out ofeverbody. even himself." Smith said. Senior Eric Tollelson was honored for the second time as Outstanding Male Ath­ lete On Saturday, he won the 5.000 meters with a time of 14:39.17. and the day before, he took the steeplechase with a time of 9:02.23. the third best mark in school history.

Sophomore Loren Myers placed first in the 400 meters with a lime of 49.19.

Her personal bests iri the shot put and the long jump are 36-5 feet arid 16-5 feet, re­ spectively. ' "She's a great athlete " Smith said. "She will be a great asset to the team." "We knew he (Tollefson) had a good shot at winning both races." said Smith. Senior Jay Spears, who has been nurs­ ing a sore hamstring, will compete at na­ tionals. He wanted to run at the regional meet, but the coaches exercised caution. "He will be back, we wanted to hold off one week to gel him healthy," he said. In women's competition, Central placed sixth, scoring 54 1/2 points. On Saturday, senior Rebecca Hill set a per­ sonal record in the 1500 meters with a time of 4:41.13. The fourth place finish qualified her fof nationals. "We knew she had it in her," he said. Although there were no first place vic­ tories for the Central women, senior Veronica McGuire and junior Amanda Johnson placed second in the high jump and shot put, respectively. McGuire had a leap of 5 feet 4 inches, while Johnson threw 41 feet 3 1/2 inches. McGuire will compete at nationals in the high jump. Joining her will be junior Megan Prkut who wiil compete in the heptathlon. "We wouldn't take them if we knew they wouldn't do well," Smith said. The NAIA National competition will be held May 23 to May 25 in Alanta, Ga. far from over by Tresie Eagle Staff reporter The Intramural Sports Program has received great reviews for this spring's sport season. "Players have commented the softball league is more evenly balanced among men and women," Bruce Mace, ISP coordi­ nator said. "Golf.was a great addition, along with the racquetball and tennis programs," Mace said. "Now, all we need to do is some fine tuning with these new additions. This might include moving racquetball to the winter intramural season." With three full weeks remaining in the intramural season, some interesting day and night time events still remain. The ISP racquetball tournament will be held this coming Friday, May 17, and is open to anyone with a $5 entry fee. Also an open event, is the tennis tournament which will be held on May 31. ( . On May 20 and 21 residence halls will float the Yakima river, an event organized by the Tent-N-Tube. This trip will float again June 1 and 2. Team sports trivia will be held May 20 and 21, in the Sub pit form 6 to 10 p.m. Mace said this event derived from a Jeop­ ardy type gairie, but includes sports trivia instead. It's limited to 10 teams of 4, but anyone can participate. On May 31, the Wildcats Nightgames Program has orga­ nized the team obstacle course. This free event is open to groups of 10 to 20 people. Mace was not able to give away specific details to the obstacle course, but he said it might in­ clude challenges like spinning around a bat 10 times then try­ ing to make a basket or bouncing a ball up every step to the gym- Winner's of this event will receive coupons to Frazzini's Pizza Parlor. "A lot of people really enjoy these night games," Mace said. For more information on any of these events call 963-3512

In two games Friday, Central bat­ ters only managed six hits. Three came from David Blockinger, who led the Wildcats for the season with a .349 batting average. Blockinger's hits extended his hitting streak to 10 games, the longest for any Central player this season. Pitching honors in Friday's games went to Corey Carmack in the opener, and to Ian Keber in the second game. Carmack and Keber ended their sea­ sons 1-7, Irrespectively.

Central brought only a pair of runs across the plate in its final series of the 1996 season. Both runs came in the Saturday's game, and both were un­ earned. Starting pitcher, senior Rob Jablonski ended his final season for Central with a record of 2-4.

The Warriors, who will officially become a NCAA Division I baseball team in two years, gave their coach, Ed Cheff, his 1,000th career victory in Friday's second game. Central, along with other teams, will be glad to see the Warriors out of their division. LCSC has lost only 276 games in its last 20 seasons. The Wildcats finished the 1996 season with a record of 19-27, one game short of Coach Desi Storey's goal of back to back 20 win seasons. n. f- Andrew Rurvis *• v3'. showjKin a-" •:? v i game earlier this quarter watching a teammate score. David Dick/ photo editor -t Rodeo team's first season coming to a dose by Kristy Yingling Staff reporter Yeehaw! Central's Rodeo team is ending its first season this weekend in Pendleton. This year the National Intercolle­ giate Rodeo Association recognized the Rodeo club as a team. The team consists of 8 competing students, and several non-competing members. Vern Matthews competes in-two rodeo events: the calf rope and the team rope as the heel. Along with these events there are seven others that the team can participate in, barrel rac­ ing, bull riding, saddle bronc, bare back, steer wrestling, goat tying and break away roping. Both the goat ty­ ing and break away roping are women's events. Students bring their own horses for the events but the livestock is selected at random. Several local ranchers sup­ ply for the team members livestock to practice with. This Season the team did not hold any practices, but hope to next season. The group meets to­ gether either at a rodeo or a club meet­ ing. Molly Udager is the adviser and schedules the team in rodeos through out the year. Central has three women on the team that have been competing this season. Matthews said they hope that more women will turn out next year. ''this year was basically a building year," Matthews said. "We hope to recruit a lot of freshman and other stu­ dents next year." The team is built by students from H — The club is not limited to competitors, but for people that are interested in the rodeo. Vern Matthews all over Washington including Olym- pia, Pasco and Enumclaw. Since this was the team's first season they were unable to come up with the appropri­ ate funds to host a hometown rodeo. Matthews said next season they hope to have at least one local rodeo, the NIRA also requires the teams to host a rodeo at least once every two years. Dally Taylor competes in calf rop­ ing, saddle bronc and steer wresting. He may qualify for the College Na­ tional Finals Rodeo in Bosman, Mont. The scoring of the events are based on individual, women, men and com­ bined team standings. "He receives the majority of the teams points at this time," Matthews said. Taylor will not know for sure if he made the CNF until after this week­ ends events. ::a s "The club is not limited j,u$t to competitors, but for people that are interested in the rodeo." Matthews said. Keep your eyes and ears open for the first rodeo that the club will hold in Ellensburg. ' \\u iW.Sf.A •••.'111 '*1 'tviio:.
