Central extends welcome to huge Class of 2000 by Carrie Starbuck Assistant News Editor If the line in the cafeteria seems just a bit longer than last quarter, or lately there has been a prolonged wait to get that double-iced mocha at "Cats" in the morning, it s not poor service, just Central absorbing the class of 2000—a full house. Central is welcoming 1.110 freshmen, its largest freshman class in 10 years. Freshman enrollment is up 12 percent over last year, and the high school grade point average of our new freshmen is also up from 3.1 in fall quarter 1995 to 3.2 this fall." said Bill Swain, director of admissions and academic advising services. This year the registrar's staff and faculty advisors registered 99 percent of the freshmen for classes, before they moved to campus. This is quite different from past years, when stu­ dents scrambled to register for the classes they needed, only to find they were full. "Those days are over for Central's freshmen." Swain said. "Us­ ing a block-registration plan, we group new students into general inter­ est categories, like science, the arts or business, and design a cluster of first- quarter classes tailored to fit their needs." The registrar's staff then plans over 3.000 seats in general education and appropriate prerequisite classes, and reserves space to accommodate the entire freshman class. "We guarantee freshmen a full schedule of classes that will fulfill their general education requirements and to ensure that they are not hold­ ing themselves back, in subsequent years, because of failing to take pre­ requisite courses for upper division study/'registrar Carolyn Wells said. "Central is concentrating its en­ ergy to provide a sound, stable aca­ demic foundation for entering stu­ dents,". Swain said. "They will have the best possible opportunity to earn a bachelor's degree in four years." Central welcomed its largest freshman class by offering Preview Week at no cost. The weekend events included not only classes to prepare the students for campus life, but also social events in order to meet new people. Theater Sports gave this freshman a new view of the world. David Dick/Photo editor Welcome back — park over there City passes Residential Parking Zone Ordinance goes into effect Nov. 1 by Mike Bellamy Staff Reporter The Ellensburg city council passed an ordinance providing for residential parking zones (RPZs) sur­ rounding the southern and western ends of Central's campus at their Sept. 16 meeting. The RPZs were instituted to re­ lieve parking congestion, due to Cen­ tral students and staff who park on public streets, rather than in campus parking lots. The congestion has been aggravated by a loss of parking spaces, due to the new science facil­ ity. The RPZs will go into effect be­ ginning Nov. 1. An 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. zone will be enforced Monday through Friday on the west side and a 24-hour zone will be enforced from 8 a.m. Monday un­ til 8 a.m. Saturday on the southern edge. Residents living in these areas will be issued two residential parking permits and one guest permit. Those with more than one visitor are encour­ aged by city officials to borrow guest permits fn m their neighbors. Warn­ ing citations will be issued for the first 15 days following the institution of the RPZ's. After 15 days subsequent fines w ill be $15 for each offense.

"Sometimes when people get here, there is a perception that they can do uhai e\er they please." Chief Steve Rittereiser said. "Apparently the mes­ sage that we don't tolerate alcohol violations on this campus somehow got lost." Monday, Sept. 23,8:55 a.m. An ambulance and police officers were dispatched to Muzzall Hall, where an 18 year-old male was expe­ riencing a sei/.ure.

"I think students are best served so long as the faculty feels that it was best served," he said. "If the faculty thinks it gets the short end of the stick, that CKfTTead to bad morale, and bad mo­ rale is just as contagious as enthusi­ asm." The result of the vote was sent to the deans' council, who forwarded a list of five names to President Ivory Nelson.

As part of the selection process, the president solic­ ited nominations from the dean's council and faculty senate, and the senate voted to recommend former provost Dr. Tom Moore for the interim post. In effect, Moore would be replac­ ing himself. Moore resigned in August to spend more time with his family. However, last year there were reports that Moore was being pressured to resign by presi­ dent Ivory Nelson. Moore said that was news to him, although others have called Moore and Nelson, the university's two top-ranking officials, "extremely incompatible." The provost, who sits on the president's cabinet as the vice presi­ dent for academic affairs, is respon­ sible for all the university's academic programs, including budgets, person­ nel, and planning, and represents the university to educational, governmen­ tal and accreditation agencies. Dr. Moore, who is currently on paid training leave, could not be reached for comment on his nomina­ tion, but the nomination memorandum prepared by psychology professor Libby Street said he agreed to be nominated for the interim post.

"The process worked the way I asked it to work," Nelson said. "One group making a recommendation for a person is not important. It's what I got from the dean's council in that to­ tal recommendation that's the impor­ tant thing." A national search will be carried out for the cabinet level position. The faculty senate received and discussed four nominations: David Dauwalder, dean of the school of busi­ ness and econimics Anne Denman, dean of college of arts and humanities Stacy, dean of graduate studies and Moore. Greg Trujillo, director of insti- ' tutional studies and assessment, was nominated later by the dean's council. While discussing the qualifications of the other nominees, the faculty worried out loud about replacing them in their current positions, a "ripple ef­ fect." Avoiding a ripple effect was one reason that Street called for the rec­ ommendation of Dr. Moore until September 1997. She said Moore would do more good, and was worth more at a senior administrator's salary, as Central's provost than as a profes­ sor at the Yakima branch campus. "We need to ask ourselves if we should be paying someone Dr. Moore's salary for a quarter of train­ ing to teach for two quarters," Street said. "I would suggest that that's not good stewardship of state resources." Street said that the importance of the issues facing the university made it important to have experienced lead­ ership in the provost's office, despite differences between the president and provost in the past. _r "Dr. Moore and President Nelson are extremely incompatible," Street said. "They don't gel along. This might be a reasonable sacrifice for these two men to make for the univer­ sity." Some faculty expressed other rea­ sons for bringing Moore back. Geog­ raphy professor Morris Ubelacker said Moore was an advocate for the faculty.

The HQ dirt was moved HH near Brooklane H Village and may HH remain there •| through the rest • of the school • year. • Garett Grobler/ •9 Observer Diesel-laden dirt dumped near Brooklane Village by Mike Bellamy Staff reporter One hundred thousand tons of die- sel-saturated soil have been stored at a dumpsite fifty yards away from Brooklane Village. The soil is now resting on a black plastic tarp and en­ closed by a portable chain-link fence. It was unearthed the first week of August along with a slab of concrete containing a large amount of the fuel by workers at the construction site of the new science facility on Central's campus. Dick Brown, science facility project manager, said the soil is clas­ sified as a problem soil, rather than hazardous, and that there is no danger to Brooklane residents. "The only thing we've found is diesel," he said. "If it had been haz­ ardous it wouldn't have been put out there." Brown said enough soil was re­ moved to continue construction, the rest will be stored at the Brooklane deposit at a later date. He said exca­ vators have most likely hit the most highly-saturated spot. There may be another 100,000 tons to go. Central is working with GN North­ ern, an environmental consulting firm, and the Department of Ecology to find the best way to deal with the con­ taminated soil. It will eventually be hauled away by a recycling company and processed to remove the diesel. The soil will then be taken to a land­ fill. While the original source of the diesel is not yet known, Rob Chrisler from facilities management said there may have been a service station for the railroad that used to run through the area. He said he was displeased with the Brooklane storage of the soil. "I didn't think it was the best place for a dumpsite," Chrisler said. "I'd like to have it moved as soon as pos­ sible. I'd like to see it leave." Chrisler also said residents of Brooklane Village should stay away from the site, but not be overly con­ cerned.

Residents were notified of the site with a posted notice, but said they didn't know much about it. Despite assurances from university officials, some voiced misgivings about the site. Brooklane resident Leif Young said he was concerned about the ground water, while his wife Melanie said she was uneasy about diesel in the air. "I've wondered if there's really a danger," she said. "The wind blows right through here." "1 didn't think it was a very good idea for them to put contaminated dirt behind an apartment complex where there are children," said resident An­ gela Gavin. Brown said the soil would be re-, moved, but-there is no real schedule yet. "It could be here through the school year," Brown said. "But prob­ ably less than that." From page 2 faculty time and again, and I'm going to support him just for that," he said. "I would support him to send a message that I strongly disapprove of the way Dr. Moore was removed and sent where he was," said Sidney Nesselroad of the music department. But Bobby Cummings, the senate's vice chair, disagreed. "We shouldn't be sending a mes­ sage to Dr. Nelson." she said. "We should be selecting a candidate who can step in and address the curriculum issues, the statewide issues that im­ pact this institution, and can address the inequities in salary for the faculty at this institution compared to our counter parts across the country. We should be careful what are saying about our university to legislators." Professor Rex Wirth said sending Moore to teach at his current salary Dr. Moore and President Nelson are extremely incompatible. — Elizabeth Street sent a hint of financial irresponsibil­ ity to the university's overseers in the legislature. "When you've got Moore teaching for so many thousand dollars a year, that sends a message too," he said. "A message you don't want to send." Balloting followed further debate and when the votes were counted Sen­ ate Chair Rob Perkins announced that Moore had received more than 50 per­ cent of the votes and would be the only candidate recommended to the dean's council.

Students have smiles on their faces and a feeling of relief after receiving their finan­ cial aid checks for fall quarter. Students often find themselves confused and frustrated with the fi­ nancial aid process. Financial aid counselor Sherry Keelersaid many students do not apply early enough, therefore delaying the en­ tire process. "First time borrowers are re­ quired to go to a workshop discuss- ing financial aid in general,'' Keeler said. 'There is a thirty day hold on freshmen accounts." Jacy Rodriquez, financial aid counselor, said students need to have a total of 12 credi's to be eli­ gible for financial aid. Graduate students need to have 10 credits. Some other requirements are not to owe a refund or repayment on previous financial aid disburse­ ments maintain satisfactory aca­ demic progress asHefined by the CWU Office of Financial Aid and be a high school graduate or equivalent pursuing a degree. Financial counselors agree that in order to avoid problems students need to apply on time and meet all the deadline dates. Financial aid helps pay tuition, buy books and contributes to other financial needs. "If I budget my money I can live on it for the quarter. Many stu­ dents do not do that", said senior Vince Guerrero. More information is available in the financial aid office located in Barge Hall, or call 963-1611. Ellensburg Floral & Gifts I VISA.

According to a joint proclamation issued by Central Washington Univer­ sity, the Mayor of Ellensburg, and the Governor of the State of Washington, "Washington Slate recognizes the value of educators and higher educa­ tion," and "Central Washington Uni­ versity recognizes that it is a univer­ sity where all members of the commu­ nity support a relationship between faculty and student which makes both partners in learning..." Jen Gray, director of Foundation Services and Community Relations, said this will also be a chance for members of the commu iity to become more aware of the benefits of their support of the university. Activities here will include the Barge Showcase exhibit from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. in Barge 304, where refresh­ ments will be served with the aid of both the Student Alumni Connection and the Retired Senior Volunteer Pro­ gram visits to the Richard Stine Ex­ hibit from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Sa­ rah Spurgeon Gallery in Randall Hall, the Biological Sciences Greenhouse from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. on the west side of Dean Science Hall, and the Japa­ nese Garden from 7 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Campus tours will be offered at 10 a.m. and 2 p.m., beginning at the first floor information counter of Mitchell Hall. The library will offer tours be­ tween 9 a.m. and 11 a.m., beginning at the reference desk, and the oppor­ tunity to viewji_distance education elassin session at 11 a.m. in LIT ' 53. There will be a university and conimunity reception from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. at the Clymer Museum to meet and visit with new and long-time Cen­ tral employees, A forum entitled "I, Too, Was Once You," for former apartment-living residents to share with current residents their successes, and tips on assistance available from Central, will be held from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. at Brooklane Daycare. International Studies and Pro­ grams, Asia University America, and English as a Second Language Pro­ grams will offer tours of faculty and student services, the web page for study abroad, and video demonstra­ tions from 10 a.m. to noon in room 101 of the International Center. ID Cards: New and improved by Brien Bartels News Editor Central's futuristic new identifica­ tion cards mean more conveniences for students, despite the inconve­ niences of long waits for processing and technological glitches. Returning students were lined up to the SUB's Yakama room last week to be digitally imaged (not photo­ graphed) for the new cards. The cards are currently used for library check­ out, dining services, and as debit cards for retail dining outlets. Eventually, they may be used instead of quarters to do laundry, to open dorm doors with a swipe through an electronic lock, and to make cashless purchases in Ellensburg. Auxiliary services director Rob Chrisler said Central was entering the 21st century with the new cards and their array of functions. "I think it's the way to go," Chrisler said. "It's a way to improve services for students." Chrisler said the process of con­ verting dorm washing machines into debit card operated vending machines is auxiliary services' first priority, with some laundry vending systems installed as early as winter quarter.

While most civil­ ian free-fall courses require the first jump to be a static-line jump, where the 'chute is teth­ ered to the aircraft and is yanked open automatically, the Air Force Academy allows ca­ dets to free-fall on their first jump. "It wasn't scary, though I thought it would be," she said. "Free fall doesn't feel like you're fall­ ing, it feels like you're floating on top of the water." Matt Williams, on the other hand, didn't have to jump out of a "I think it's good to see what the possibilities are and what you could be doing." —Matt Williams perfectly good aircraft.

While there he was sta­ tioned with the 555th "Triple Nickel" Fighter Squadron, the squadron that Capt. Scott O'Grady flew with when^ he was shot down over Bosnia and subsequently rescued. The highlight of Williams' trip was the chance to fly in an F-16D, a two-seat variant of the Falcon used for pilot training. On his first ride, the^ pilot took Williams up to 23,000 feet and practiced 'air to mud,' running simulated attacks on ground targets. With heavy cloud cover on that day, the only target they could find was a beach. On his second flight, Williams^ was in for a real white-knuckle, e- licket trip. They left Aviano with a wingman in another F-16 and the two- plane formation soared down an Al­ pine valley at 500 feet above ground at 550 knots. 4 "It was an amazing ride," Will­ iams said. "We were lower than a lot of the houses on the canyon walls. It was unbelievable." After flying - inverted - over a ski resort and clearing the mountains, the fighters simulated low-level bombing attacks on a variety of bridges and buildings, followed by an egress from the target, simulating avoiding surface-to-air missiles and anti-aircraft fire. Several times Will­ iams was absorbing up to seven and a half Gs of pressure during these radi­ cal maneuvers. Both flights gave Williams a taste of what is in stofe for him when he graduates. He's already'£01 a pi­ lot slot and hopes to fly more 'air-to- mud' missions in the A-10 Warthog, a ground support aircraft. While at Aviano, Williams also gained an appreciation for real-world situations the NATO forces were in­ volved in. Aviano air base is a stag­ ing area for aircraft patrolling over Bosnia, and the 555th squadron that Williams flew with was conducting flights over that country. As a result, he got a feel for what things might be like in an actual combat situation. "I think it's good to see what the possibilities are and what you could be doing," he said. i
Observer RPZs: Zones will go into effect Nov. 1 From Page 1 will affect primarily staff and com­ muting students, the 24-hour zone will force many residents of Muzzall, Kamola and Sue Lombard halls to park on-campus instead of the spaces many have traditionally used on Sev­ enth Avenue. Dorm rooms do not count as living units as defined by city statutes, so dorm residents will be unable to apply for city parking per­ mits. Guests of Courson Conference Center will also have to park else­ where until next Spring when Courson's new parking lot opens up. The discussion and meetings on the RPZs took place over the summer when most of Central's student popu­ lation was gone. Linda St. Chante. of the Planning Department.'said the city council hoped to have the zone.s implemented before students arrived so there would be no real change for this year's residents. She also said that the liming of the talks had short­ comings concerning student input. Packets on the RPZs were sent to many residents, but were not sent to many involved with the university. ASCWU president Adam Eldridge became aware of the situation in late June and said he was very concerned about the lack of student input on the issue, especially because enforcement will be partly paid for by money pro­ vided by Central. "My first reaction was 'they're pulling something over on the stu­ dents,1" Eldridge said. Eldridge sent letters to The Daily Record and the Ellensburg Weekly voicing his opinion on rushing the ordinance through before students could get involved. He also called up other ASCWU members and was joined by vice-presidents Rick Vogler and Chandler Riker at the meetings. "I was very stringent on waiting for students, making sure that students were heard," Eldridge said. "I was that way all along." Eldridge said, at the Aug. 26 meet­ ing. the proposal for the RPZ's was acceptable. It was very similar to the final draft of the ordinance. But he also said he had misgivings about the 24-hour zones. "When you start talking about 24- hour zone coverage, you're not look­ ing at the university business day," Eldridge said. Residents of-Seventh Avenue wrote letters to the city council stat­ ing many instances of inconvenience and disturbance caused by students whq, parked near their homes, espe­ cially late at night. They said that 24- hour zones would greatly relieve this problem. "College is a 24-hour a day expe­ rience," St. Chante said. "[The resi­ dents] asked if they could have 24- hour coverage." St. Chante suggested biking or walking to class for students who would normally park in the RPZ's. "Now is definitely the time to con­ sider alternate kinds of transport," St. Chante said. Facilities management is currently building new parking lots to relieve the shortage of parking space caused ' by the RPZ's, and plans on having them, completed in the near future..

Thursday, October 3,1996 Observer Greetings and Salutations Welcome lo Central. In the past, the Observer would send out a generic statement to everyone about how great it is to he here and how you should study hard and go to class. This lime, however, the Observer is going to address everyone by group to avoid confusion. Welcome all of you Junior College and Transfer Stu­ dents! • A four-year institution isn't all that it's cracked up to be, is it? Especially since Central wouldn't transfer all of your credits. Welcome Freshmen! Here's a few things you might want to keep in mind while you're here at Central. • Contrary to popular belief, your parents have not just forked out a wad of cash so you can take a four-year vaca­ tion. • You think an 8 a.m. class is bad, just wait until you're riding the Metro through rush hour in Seattle at 7 a.m. • Beware of the "Freshman 20." Welcome Sophomores! It looks like not all of you re­ turned from last year. Darwin's "Survival of the Fittest" in action. • Now that you think you've finally figured out how to party, remember that Campus Cops is made up of other people who thought the same thing. Welcome Juniors! Welcome back gang. Glad to see some of you made it back for yet another year. • Now that you're old enough to hit the bar scene, don't get carried away. It's not all that cool. Welcome Seniors! Peace. • You know the deal - nine months to graduation. • Check your credit evaluation right now so you don't get screwed like thousands of other Central would-be graduates.

BOD President Adam Eldridge welcomes students to Central Dear Students of Central Wash­ ington University: On behalf of the Board of Directors of the Associated Students of Central Washington Univer­ sity, I would like lo welcome you all to the 1996-97 school year. I am very ex­ cited about the Board this year and feel that we will do an excellent job rep­ resenting the stu­ dents of CWU. One of our major goals for this year is to inform students of issues that will effect our lives. One such issue is the Residential Parking Zone. The RPZ is an ordinance en­ acted by the Ellensburg City Council that will limit the availability of park­ ing in the area surrounding the Univer­ sity. Additional information on how this ordinance will affect you can be obtained through our office located in room 116 of the SUB. As I worked with the City Council on the RPZ, it became very clear to me that the students of CWU need to re­ mind the governing bodies of our city, state, and country that we are citizens II The 1996-97 Board of Directors are Photo curtesy of ASCWU BOD (counter-clockwise from lower left) John Burkhart, Adam Eldridge, Shannel Robbins, Chandler Riker, Tony Gepner, Amy Gillespie and Rick Vogler. whose voices need to be heard. The way that we can do that is by getting but there and voting on Nov. 5. If you need to register or if you would like information about which candidates are "student friendly" then stop by our office and we will give you all the in­ formation that we can. Not only are we looking for stu­ dents to become involved with exter­ nal government, but also with the gov­ ernment at CWU. There are over 85 positions on university committees that we are looking to fill with stu­ dents. If you would like to see things change at Central, then stop by our office and pick up an application for a committee. I am truly excited about the upcom­ ing year. We can make a difference if we choose to become involved. Stu­ dents are always welcome in our of­ fice and we look forward to meeting the students whom we have been elected to represent.

While in Hong Kong I set up a computer system, taught Pagemaker and started building a web site. I also met with leaders of several different organizations in Hong Kong. Later in the summer I spent six weeks in China, met several govern­ ment and church leaders, visit a print shop, and do some touring. In Beijing I saw Mao Zedong's body, went to Tiananmen Square, the Great Wall, the Forbidden City, Beijing University, and many other tourist sites. I was able to meet and eat lunch with the director of the United Work Front, a government de­ partment. While in China. I spent lour weeks teaching English in Ningbo, a port city south of Shanghai. My stu­ dents were primary and secondary Jason Gordon gets a picture with Chairman Mao at Tiananmen Square in Beijing, China. photo courtesy of Jason Gordon teachers between the ages of 21 apd 38. Some of them knew English well, while others could barely speak a word. It was very difficult to teach them in the beginning because of the differences in methodologies. In China students do not ask questions or speak out in class. This makes it dif- licult for the teachers to teach and the students to learn. After the first week my students began asking questions about American culture and English. LETTER WRITERS: All letters must be submitted by 3 p.m. Friday before the week of publication date.

It was sur­ prising at how eager they were to learn and practice English with me. By the end of the session, most of my students could communicate in English and they all had an idea of what American culture is like. I was told that for a lot of my students I would be the only Westerner they would ever have con­ tact with. I made many friends while I was leaching and will return some day to see them.

Observer Thursday, October 3,1996 MMSMSM. Whqr I c)icj ovef ny Vc/coff i on-PqlTT 3l Secret diaries of a White House interi By Laura Lucchesi Events Editor Security checks, ID badges, power suits and lots of ogling at key players in the federal government - all were part of my summer internship at the White House. I applied to the White House In­ tern Program with the hopes of work­ ing on special events. And also be­ cause, well, it is the White House. So, did I get a hold of any "mis­ placed" files? No. Did Bill try to make a move on any interns? No. Did I get to hang out with Chelsea? No. What did I actually do this sum­ mer? Well, to put it simply, I had the time of my life. For six weeks, I worked in the first lady's correspondence office - a fancy title for one of the busiest mail rooms in the country. I was amazed not only at how much mail the First Lady re­ ceives, but how much of it is support­ ive. The office is located in the Old Executive Office Building, a huge building adjacent to the White House where about 98 percent of the White House Staff works. The one disap­ pointment of my internship was that I did not get to work on event planning. The actual work I did was not very challenging. I addressed a lot of envelopes, sent hundreds of invita­ tions for various events, and ran er­ rands all over the building. Nope, not very glamorous, but extremely essen­ tial. It is frequently said that without interns doing the grunt work for al­ most everything that goes on, the White House would not be able to function properly. By the way, grunt work does have its benefits. Mrs. Clinton's interns were invited to the briefing and slide show on her Eastern European tour after we sent out hundreds of invita­ tions to the event. This internship benefited me in many ways. I met tons of people that I plan to keep in touch with I worked under an efficient staff who taught me a lot, and I know for sure that I will never go into politics! photo courtesy of Laura Lucchesi Laura Lucchesi takes a break from the "grunt work" to strike a pose in the White House Press Room. Although I worked for no salary, I feel this internship will continue to prove invaluable to me, and not just because I will have the White House on my resume. My payment came in the way of experiences - not just in the office - but in my daily life in Wash­ ington, D.C. Part of the White House Intern Program is a weekly speaker and tour series. Two of the more notable speakers were George Stephanopolous, a chief adviser to the president, and Attorney General Janet Reno. They spoke about how they got where they are and what their respec­ tive jobs entail. Although the first lady did not make aippearances in the building I worked in, I did get to meet her and get a photo with her. i admit, I was much more impressed by Mrs. Clinton than I thought I would be. When my internship was over, I suddenly realized that 1 had met and worked for one of the most controver­ sial public figures of this decade. I made sure to give myself some extra time after my internship to allow for traveling. Seeing parts of the East Coast while I was out there was part of my summer agenda. I got to see New England and many parts of Penn­ sylvania. Checking out the East Coast made me realize how much of a West Coast gal I am. The cities in the East are too big and too crowded for my tastes. I also got the impression that the people live on an entirely different wave length. In D.C. particularly people seemed to have no time to smile. What I consider to be the best part of my summer was that I learned a lot about who I am. Mom and Dad were right, I can do whatever I want and be whomever I want as long as I try my best.

Either way, a group of roughly 40 - 50 students get together at the begin­ ning of the quarter to work on the pa­ per. They come to serve in a variety of different roles. First, there are the reporters. These are the people doing the ground- pounding. They're conducting inter­ views, writing and re-writing and re- re-writing articles. A few can't hack it, so they leave - usually 10 minutes before they have a story due. This has driven more than one editor to take up smoking and/or drinking. Then there are the photographers - the unsung heroes of the paper. They go out and shoot the images that add a little flavor to the Observer. They go to sporting events, they walk around campus, they're in the thick of the ac­ tion wherever it may be. Well, maybe that's a little flowery, but hey, we could always use a few more photog­ raphers, so why not make it sound a little more glamorous than it is? Holding all of these people to­ gether are the editors. These people are juniors and seniors who are usually planning on a degree in print journal­ ism. They're also gluttons for punish­ ment. Every Tuesday night is produc­ tion night, and you'll find them in Bouillon 222 staring blankly at com- STUDY ABROAD • Generous grants & academic sdtolarsinps • • Coursework, internships & more t' • Business programs in 3 countries • Placement in foreign universities ZIMBABWE • ENGLAND • ITALY HONG KONG • SPAIN • FRANCE puter screens, muttering about dead­ lines and headlines and picas and other random tidbits of trivial information as they lay out the paper. No one knows what's actually holding the editors to­ gether, though on Tuesday nights it's usually a mixture of pizza, 7-11 nachos, cigarettes, and Coke. Working behind the scenes are the advertising sales staff and the produc­ tion staff. The sales people go out and sell ads during the week then produc­ tion builds the ads during the week­ end. Our friendly ad staff gets a hoot out of selling large amounts of ads when our production team had planned on doing the Ellensburg Crawl over the weekend. One point about the advertising. The Observer is a self-supporting newspaper - if there were no ads, there would be no newspaper. This explains why we have a 24-page pa­ per this week - a lot of advertisements. The amount of advertising dictates the size of the paper we publish. Next week we might have less ads, thus a smaller paper. Then there's our adviser, Lois Breedlove. She's the one who spouts off words like "libel" every time our eyes light up at the possibility of an­ other racy expose' on the administra­ tion or dorm food. She keeps us all in check, making sure we do things ac­ cording to Associated Press style. Last, but not least, is Christine Page, our business manager. She is assisted in her mission by those fun loving advertising sales people, whom she counts on to bring in the big bucks. She's brilliant, successful and quite a wonderful person. She also signs all of our paychecks, which is the reason for this shameless plug. So that's our staff - but we're al­ ways looking for a few more people to help out. If you'd like to join our team, please stop by Bouillon 222. WELCOME BACK STUDENTS!!

CHINA: A real cross-cultural experience From Page 8 at the print shop and meeting many people I flew back to Hong Kong, where I finished up some work and came home. On July 1, 1997 Hong Kong will be handed over to China, ending Britain's 150-year occupation. There has been a lot of media coverage on the handing over of Hong Kong. In the last 10 years thousands of people have lefl Hong Kong, afraid of what China will do on July 1. All of the Chinese I talked to weren't afraid of what was going to happen. They don't think that China will make any drastic changes immediately. Hong Kong is one of the largest financial cities in the world, and it is doubtful that China would change that. China is under contract with Britain, and under the contract the Chinese are required to leave Hong Kong a capitalist society for 50 years. This summer was a great expe­ rience for me. 1 made many friends and visited places that were the begin­ nings of civilization and places that have made history. I ate things that I wouldn't normally eat, things like snake, lizard, scorpion and frog. I also drank snake blood at a lunch where I was the guest of honor. I became very cultured this summer and am looking forward to return. I also learned a lot from the Chinese people. They were all very unselfish and kind. I never had a prob­ lem with anyone. I had heard and read about the generosity of the Chinese, but it didn't become real to me until I went there. / • V .r , V/ 1 GROCERY] 8th & Chestnut Across from Lind Hall Budweiser Regular & Light $10 24-pack cans Schmidt $7." 24-pack cans Labatts 12-pack bottles Kokanee 12-pack bottles $5 99 (/our choice prices effective thru 10115/96 Charge or Debit ATM cards Accepted

This period of time is termed: The Red Zone. It is a time when freshmen need to take care of themselves and each other. Imagine a young freshman girl, drunk for the first time at a col- a mini-skirt or invites him to her room. No one deserves to be lege party. Without any good friends or family around, she is in dan- raped. Rapists choose their victims for their vulnerability and ger. She is leaving herself an open target to the most common sex crime committed on cam­ puses across the country, acquaintance rape otherwise known as date rape. S.T.E.P.S. (Students & Staff for the Educa­ tion & Prevention of Sexual Assault) is cur­ rently posting fliers around campus to heighten awareness on sexual assault and the Red Zone. "Right now, freshmen are at high risk of becoming a sex crime victim, because they are surrounded by a new environment, new people, have increased freedom, and have easier oppor­ tunities to drink alcohol," Michelle Oja, vice president of STEPS, said. A legally intoxicated person cannot give consent to sexual activity. A common myth regarding rape is a rapist is more likely to be a masked, crazed stranger who jumps out of the bushes, than a good-looking college student. Ninety percent of all rapes involve alcohol and/ or drugs and 85 percent of victims know their assailants. The most common situation of ac- Myth: Rape is the victim's fault if she slept around/was drinking/invited him to her room- Fact: No one asks to be raped. Myth: "It will never happen to me." Fact: A rape happens once every six minutes in the United States and once every 21 hours on a college campus. Myth: A women could prevent herself from getting raped if she really wanted to.

Page 12 Thursday,6ctober 3,1996 Observer Maximum Risk=Maximum Rental by Beckie Bruffey Staff reporter "Maximum Risk." Marring Jean- Claude Van Damme, was a good, ihough stereotypical, last-paced action movie Once again. Van Damme played the part of identical twins. (This could have been "Double Impact Two.") Separated at birth, our hero, Alan, learns of his brother's existence after his death. Alan then journeys to America where he attempts to learn as much as he can about his mobster brother and the events leading to his death. Personally, I liked this movie. It reminded me of many of my old fa­ vorites. The personality of Alan's friend, a cab driver, reminded me of the limo driver from "Crocodile Dundee," when he made a timely ar­ rival at an alley where Van Damme was having a run-in with thugs. The end of the movie was a return to "Texas Chainsaw Massacre." when a psycho FBI agent attempts to kill Van Damme with a chainsaw. "Maxi­ mum Risk" was violent and had the predictable female nudity found in male-oriented movies. If you like edge-of-your-seat action, this movie is a definite must see. If not, wait to rent it on video. Movie Review • Maximum Risk • Reviewer's Verdict: RENTER Van Damme takes a shot at survival. Photo from Sony Pictures by Mike Blankensbip Staff reporter The latest Jean-Claude Van Damme movie. "Maximum Risk," is about what you would expect from the martial-arts star weak plot, bad act­ ing, and plenty of knuckle sandwiches. This time out Jean-Claude plays a cop in France. He discovers he has a twin after he finds him dead on the street. An inevitable case of mistaken identity follows, and our hero is on the run the rest of the movie, stopping periodically to show off his hand-to- hand combat skills. Van Damme's running mate is Natasha Henstridge from "Species." "Maximum Risk" wasn't any bet­ ter than any other Jean-Claude Van Damme movie, but it wasn't any worse either. After a slow start, the typical special effectsa followed and the show picked up. If you're a Van Damme fan then you will like this movie, if you're not, this one won't win you over. The only real "Maximum Risk" I experienced was the thought that someone I know might see me coming out of this movie. Play it safe, and catch it on video.

Shoveljerk, the hard-driving, somewhat psychedelic rock group from Couer d'Alene will be playing an 8 o'clock show in the SUB Ballroom on Friday. The group, whose small town roots helped innovate its independent style, has just released its' debut album, Swarm, now out from Capricorn Records. The band is made up of Paul Hjort, bassist) Mark Hemenway and guitarist Greg Hjort. Their drummer, Ziu Uddin, previously spent time with the group Inflatable soule. Although Swarm is the band's debut, it isn't the first for the members of the band. Shoveljerk is a take-off of the Hemenway brothers' and Hjort's former band, Black Happy. Black Happy was made up of an eight-member rock band that used a lot of horn-driven music. Black Happy had an immense, local following in their Idaho community and released two independent studio albums: Friendly Dog Salad, and the popular Peghead, plus a live album. The Last Polka. All three have since been re-released on the Capricorn label. Shoveljerk's small town roots have a direct effect on their music. Guitarist and lead vocalist Paul states that everyone is a product of their environment, and their mu­ sic starts where they grew up. Shoveljerk brings its music and environment to the SUB Ballroom this Friday night. Tickets are $6 in ad- . vance and $9 at the door. Advance tickets at the SUB information Booth. So if you feel you need that tension breaker, bring that energy down to the SUB on Friday night to hear Shoveljerk. Mosh pit included. Think Spring Break. Seafirst is.

"Crumb" kicked off a series of seven films that will be shown on Tuesday nights at 7p.m. in McConnell. Below is a short description of the films play­ ing this season. "Crumb," Terry Zwigoffs docu­ mentary, explored the life and times of nerd antihero and counter-culture comic creator of "Mr. Natural," "Fritz the Cat," and "Zap Comix," Robert Crumb. Set in San Francisco and Crumb's upscale Philadelphia home, Zwigoff brings Crumbs disgust and loathing of American culture alive. During the movie, we see Crumb com­ menting on past relationships with ex- wives and girlfriends, visiting his fam­ ily in Philadelphia, and being caught up in his satiric and sometimes offensiv drawing, which Crumb is known for around the world. Following "Crumb," "Belle de Jour" plays Oct. 8. The film, by sur­ realist director Luis Bunuel, looks" at the double reality of Perverse Severine. Severine, a Persian house wife of a handsome and loving sur­ geon by night, caters to her fantasy world by day as a prostitute in a brothel. Severine's affairs become a bit more complicated when a gangster tries to make Severine his mistress. When Severine leaves the brothel over this issue, the gangster shoots Severine's husband. "Shanghai Triad" comes to the big screen on Oct. 15. In "Shanghai Triad," Tang Shuisheng, a young Chinese boy. finds himself indentured to his unscrupulous uncle, who is in­ volved in the prostitution and opium Film Shorts will be shown on these dates in addition to the Stairway to Where Oct. 8 Oct. 15 T Oct.22 Oct.29 Grotesque Nov. 5 trade. Set during the 1930s in Shang­ hai, Tang is assigned to Jewel, mis­ tress of the local godfather, Mr. Tang. A close friendship soon ensues be­ tween Tang and Jewel. In Gianni Amelio's "Lamerica," Italian venture capitalist, Fiore, and his sidekick Gino venture to the post- communist wastelands of modern Al­ bania on Oct. 22. There, they plan on embezzling Italian government subsi­ dies by establishing a non-existent shoe factory. They choose for their front man a 70-year-old former politi­ cal prisoner and Italian World War II deserter, Spiro Tozai. Placing the se­ nile Tozai in a home, Fiore and Gino plan on bringing him out for official functions only. This plan soon back­ fires, however, when Spiro, who be­ lieves that only a few years have passed since World War II, escapes, seeking to return to Italy in a voyage that Richard Harrington of the Wash­ ington Post compared to "Dante's pas­ sage through the nine rings of hell." Following "Lamerica," "The Flower of My Secret" comes to Cen­ tral on Oct. 29. Here, director Pedro Almodo'var tells the story of Leo, a middle aged supermarket romance book writer and newspaper critic. Leo, hopelessly not in love with her husband Paco, finds herself dealing with a divorce that she doesn't want, hair in her soup, and insincere friends. Caryn James of the Washington Post writes that "much of 'The Flower of My Secret' relies on delicious small touches that convey a dark sense of the absurd." "Antonia's Line" follows "The Flower of my Secret" on Nov. 5th. In what has been called Marleen Gorris's feminist drama, Gorris examines the lives of Antonia, her daughter Danielle, and her granddaughter, Therese. This pastoral piece, set in a small European town, begins and ends with Antonia on her death bed. Here, Antonia's story is revealed to us be­ ginning with the amusing and zany village people, whose nicknames in­ clude Crooked Finger, Loony Lips, and Mad Madonna, after her return from World War II. The story then continues on with her daughter Danielle. Danielle, who appears shy on the surface, soon, like her mother, discovers her independent streak as she stabs the village rapist with a pitchfork and negotiates reproductive services from a mute, yet handsome village man, for the birth of her daugh­ ter, Therese. "Grand Illusion," finishes off the season on Nov. 12. "Grand Illusion" which won the Oscar for Best Foreign See Film Series/page 16 "If you tfiinf^first cCass, you've £ot to go first cCass."

Photo by Josh Cooley Buffett and Tull wow Gorge crowd by Josh Cooley Staff reporter The 1996 summer concert series at The Gorge Amphitheater came to a festive end this weekend with shows on all three nights. About 5,500 people came to see Jethro Tull perform on Friday night, with Emerson, Lake, and Palmer as the opener. The sun was setting as the concert began, and the white clouds on the horizon melted into tones of or­ ange and pink on top of the rich, blue backdrop of the sky. By the time the opening act was finished, the sky had turned black and an almost full moon was rising from behind the hills surrounding the am­ phitheater. The crowd exploded into cheers as Jethro Tull appeared on stage. They began their set with "Aqua Lung," one of their most popular songs. Their performance was bursting at the seams with piano, synthesizer and flute instrumental, laced with funky bass riffs and steady vocals. Jethro's show included: "Cross- Eyed Mary," "Locomotive Breath," and "Songs From the Wood." The band left the stage about an hour and a half later to a standing ova­ tion. The concert was a success, just as the 21 shows before it had been. Concert 23 was the next night. The smell of barbecues filled the air, the stage was decorated Carribean style and 20,000 people were on hand to see Jimmy Buffett. The "parrot- heads," as Buffett fans are referred to, were in full party mode by the time the show started. One of the most com­ mon questions for Gorge staff mem­ bers was "Where's the beer garden?" Buffett performed his first two songs high atop a man-lift, a hydrau­ lic lift commonly used in construction to reach high places. The man-lift was placed in a main cross aisle situated between the general admission area and the reserved seating area. Secu­ rity temporarily shut down the cross aisle, which happened to be the only way for thousands of fans to reach their seats in the reserved seating area. Many fans became irritated and rowdy * See SHOWS/Page 17 Friday, October 4 8:00PM to Midnight $3.00 Donation to United Way At the Elks Lodge, 5th & Main « YOU'VE HAD CLASSES WITH THEM.

Scene Editor Ai the 1-90 Interchange, the old Frazz's sign has retired, and the build­ ing is under renovation for Ellensburg's newest restaurant, which is scheduled to open Oct. 10. Ralph Streano, owner of the soon- to-open Roswell Cafe, is no stranger to the restaurant business. He previ­ ously ran the largest night club in Anchorage, Alaska. Streano first vis­ ited Ellensburg to see his son Gino, a music major in his junior year at Cen­ tral. "It (Ellensburg) was different and refreshing," Streano said. "I fell in love with the small town atmosphere, and it was a coincidence this place was available." Burnt out on big cities, Streano moved to Ellensburg and decided to open Roswell Cafe. The name "Roswell" is taken from the town in New Mexico, where, in 1954, an unidentified flying object supposedly crashed. "Everyone is interested in the pos­ sibilities of UFOs." Streano said. "I am no more interested than the next guy. An alien planted the idea in my head and led me to this beautiful town of Ellensburg." The Roswell Cafe contains a res­ taurant, two dance floors, a spacious game room, two bars, two giant screen televisions and 10 video monitors. The "UFO/outer space" theme contin­ ues throughout the establishment, with pictures of the planets and stars deco- 1 .vRwft Alien settings are the theme of a new club in Ellensburg. Photo illustration rating the walls. During lunch hours a variety of videos play for the custom­ ers. During dinner hours these change to computer-animated videos. The menu for the restaurant will be a combination of American and Mexi­ can dishes, with prices ranging from $4 to $8. "It's going to be a better restaurant/ nightclub in Ellensburg," Hollis Mitchell, a Roswell Cafe cook, said. "The portions are large and the price is low ... you're getting a real deal." One of the bars in the restaurant is centrally located and serves 14 differ­ ent beers along with various mixed drinks, while the other bar — located near one of the two dance floors — serves only beer and shots. "We want this to appeal to every­ one." Streano said. "We want moms and dads bringing in the kids, truck drivers can come in for something a little different, we want the summer and Gorge traffic, we want the college students, and we want the town of Ellensburg." The cafe already has a full calen­ dar of events planned. There will be major monthly promotions with Central's CATS radio station broad­ casting live. The first planned event is a giant Halloween party, continuing with a Thanksgiving party in Novem­ ber and different theme parties each month. At these parties, guests will have chances to win CDs, professional sporting event tickets, T-shirts and dinners. Streano is also broadcasting Mon­ day night football games at the restau­ rant with prize giveaways, drink spe­ cials, and chances to win Seahawk tickets. Other sporting events that will be shown at the cafe are the Holyfield vs. Tyson fight Nov. 9 and Seattle Su­ personic games. Wednesday and Thursday nights, a band will take over the stage. Streano's son, Gino, is the bass player of "Bad Manners," the first scheduled band performing. Friday and Saturday nights, the DJ controls two complete sound systems, and a lighting system that "will blow you away," Ben War­ ren, floor manager and DJ, said. "It's not your average Ellensburg bar," Warren said. "It's a different concept than what Ellensburg is used to. It's more of a west-side type thing. We want to play what the people will dance to. A lot of mood-type music, not a whole lot of rap." The music is also subject to change, just depending on what people request. Streano wants people to have a good time and enjoy themselves, but is also concerned about customers who are not in control when driving home. The staff at the Roswell Cafe will call cabs for anyone they feel has had too much to drink. 'The last thing we want is people leaving over-served," Streano said. He went on to say that the staff will monitor the patrons as best they can to ensure no one is served too much. "We want this to be a fun place to come," Streano said. Central Washington University is proud to welcome the singer/ songwriter Judy Gorman to Club Cen­ tral on Oct. 9. She is an outspoken supporter of women's rights and for the empowerment of women, who has performed both in Europe and N o r t h America.Gorman will be performing two shows, the first at noon in the SUB Pit, and the second at 8 p.m. in CWU's Club Central. . These events are free for all to at­ tend, and are sponsored by CWU Campus Life and the Women's Re­ source Center. Film Series: Classic films visit Central From Page 14 Film by director Jean Renoir will fin­ ish up the season. The film explores the relationship between three French POW escapees and prison commander Bon Rauffenstein during World War II. French mechanic, Marechal, Jew­ ish banker, Rosenthal, and aristocratic Frenchman, Boieldieu, after a failed escape attempt, find themselves being sent deep into the heart of Germany. Here, these different individuals find their normal social relationships cpm- plicated and twisted fey the War.

Observer Thursday, October 3,1996 Page 17 tlMIXI CD Review The High School High Soundtrack 3 1/2 out of 5 Photo courtesy of TriStar This week I had an opportunity to check out Tri-Star Motion Picture soundtrack "High School High." Being the hip-hop hungry individual I am, I quickly noticed some of my fa­ vorite artists on this CD. "High School High" is quite unique, offering a wide range of music from the R&B and Rap world. The rap side is represented to the fullest with proven East and West Coast rappers such as KRS-ONE. Wu- Tang Clan, Spice 1, and E-40 and The Click. The R&B side has big name enter­ tainers Jodeci, Faith Evans, and D'Angelo, making this a star-studded soundtrack. CD Review /Enima Photo from cover of Aenima Tool has returned to the airwaves. jEnima, the new release from the Los Angeles-based band is full of angst ridden lyrics and a large array of mu­ sical potency. Their energy is relent­ less and candor vivid. But this only be­ gins to describe the musical efficiency and total package that Tool offers its listeners. The packaging of /Enima can keep a listener's attention through­ out the time it lakes to listen to the al­ bum. The stop-motion action that was so evident in their past videos was brought to the album cover. Three different de­ signs can be viewed through the special holographic cover of the CD. Guitarist Adam Jones says the entire package is important when cre­ ating a record. "We treat everything we do (album art, posters, videos, etc.), with as much thought as we put into writing and re­ cording the record." From top to bottom this record sig­ nifies a new direction in the way the band has created its music. The first track, "Stinkfest", is the prelude that signifies the vast directions by which this album wanders. Probably the big­ gest strength of iEnima is that the lis­ tener never knows what to expect With a new bass player, Justin Chancellor, who replaced Spokane native, Paul D'Amour, Tool has trans­ formed their sound from a hard- edged borderline punk band to a well-refined veteran of the alternative music scene, even though they have been together The rap and vocals are tight on this album, which shouldn't be surprising with the talent assembled. Each track could stand on its own, which is rare on most soundtracks or compilations. "High School High" uses a variety of samples (beats or portions from other songs) to hook a listener. Every­ thing from Changing Faces using a "~lampTe from The Average White Band's "Person 10 Person," to Spice 1, E-40 & The Click using Kool & The Gang's "Get Down On It."

I found this CD to be a nice addi­ tion to my collection, and 1 would rec­ ommend it to any real hip-hop fans. I gave this album 3 1/2 out of 5 on my scale. —Phil Corbin for only five years. The prevailing theme of the album is exhibited in such songs as "H.", and "Third Eye", which begins: "see I think drugs have done good things for us. Go home and take ail of your records, CD's and cassettes and burn them beeause the people who made all of that great music were really high on drugs." Drummer Danny Carey elabo­ rates by saying, "Our main goal when we're together is to write music in a forum where we can involve our sub­ conscious as well as our conscious. To make that happen we use every tool available to us, be it sigils, mind-alter­ ing chemicals, fragrances or whatever modern technology can supply." jEnima draws the listener in then 4 spits them out into a sea of psychology cal confusion and into a state of eu­ phoric meltdown.

But their irritation disappeared as Buffett took the stage. However, their rowdiness did not. Sunday's concert was mellow in comparison to Saturday's. As Buffett left the stage, the sun was setting. It was a symbolic moment for The Gorge staff the setting of the sun symbolized the end of the season. "It was a very successful season." a Music Corporation of America op­ erations manager said, who asked to remain anonymous. "We will break our attendance record by 30.000. with 280,000 patrons this season." Why are so many people coming to see concerts at The Gorge? One rea­ son is the location. The Gorge is within driving distance from almost anywhere in the state. The magnificent views and surreal sunsets are another reason for The Gorge's popularity. The natural am­ phitheater sits on basalt cliffs high above the Columbia River. Colorful sunsets and great views are not the only reason, though, for the success and popularity of The Gorge. The Gorge staff is a big factor in bring­ ing patrons back. The number one priority for man­ agement at The Gorge is the attention paid to patrons. Gorge staff take, a "Walt.D^ne.y slvle" approach to cus tpmet service. TJiey uyastaard as they can to make The Gorge the happiest . place on earth. MCA contracts most of the staff: food services, security, stage hands, stage crews, and Grant County for more security needs. The facility operations employees, which includes many CWU students, were hand-picked at the beginning of the season. About 200 people attended a job fair in Quincy last April. About 80 people were chosen, out of those 200, to attend an orientation at The Gorge a couple weeks later. Gorge managers chose employees based upon their ability to work well with others, solve problems effectively, work efficiently, and most impor­ tantly, be friendly with patrons. These are some reasons The Gorge was the number one amphitheater in the country last season and has a great chance of retaining that status this sea­ son. Another reason is improvements. The major improvements were: the construction of a new stage, construc­ tion of "the cliff house" for parties the construction of box-seats at the back of the reserved seating section new asphalt for reserved seating and new contouring of the grass terraces and lawns in general admission. The Gorge docs not plan to embark on any major improvements for next season.

f Observer Thursday, October 3, 1996 Page 19 SPORTS Cats whip Whitworth, fall to Willamette, Cal-Poly - V*-*.. jiV, by Lisa Allen and Dan Hanken Staff reporters Central, the defending co-national champion football squad, started its season off with a bang, demolishing Whitworth University 35-7 in the sea­ son opener Sept. 14. Central, which ended the school's most successful season last year with a national football. championship, traveled to Zaepfel Stadium in Yakima to begin the defense of their title. The Wildcats controlled every facet of the game, out-producing Whitworth in almost every statistical category. By half-time, the Wildcats had jumped out to a 20-7 lead, led by redshirl freshman running back Dan Murphy, and solid play by the offen­ sive line. Murphy produced 121 first half yards and finished the game with a 144 total yards and two touchdowns. Despite the loss of Central's quar­ terback Jon Kitna, arguably the best NAIA college player last year, senior, quarterback Ryan Fournier stepped in • to the spotlight, displaying some tal­ ent of his own as quarterback for the . first time. I Fournier threw, for 213 yards and two touchdowns completing 22 of 31 passes. One of Fournier's touchdown passes went to All-American Kenny Russaw and the other a 32-yard strike to newly-acquired Walla Walla Com­ munity College transfer student, Tony Frank.

Arlene Jimenez/Observer ing passes from former quarterback Jon Kitna, he has much respect for Fournier. "Fournier is doing one hell of a job at quarterback." Russaw said. The Wildcats then traveled to Sa­ lem, Oregon to play nationally-ranked Willamette University Sept. 21, where they were handed their first Jpss of the season with a 34-14 defeat. Willamette's defense held the Wildcat's offense to 240 total yards with only 35 yards on the ground. "That was a very frustrating game," Russaw said. "Nothing was clicking offensively or defensively. The bottom line is we didn't come pre­ pared to play and that will never hap­ pen again." . One thing clicking for the Wild­ cats was Rico Iniguez. He racked up 13 tackles, one for a loss of yards, a quarterback sack and an interception, which he returned for 15 yards. Iniguez was also named the Wildcat Sub Shop Player-of-the-Week. The Wildcats' schedule then led them to California to face the NCAA Division I-AA Cal-Poly Mustangs, who dealt the Wildcats their second lost with a 49-14 defeat. The Mustangs jumped out to an early 14-0 lead, scor­ ing on their first two possessions. After driving down the field for a touchdown, the Mustangs blocked a punt which set up their second score of the quarter. Defensive Back. Mark Tipton, set the Wildcats up for a touchdown after returning a fumble recovery for 38 yards to the Mustang-33 yard line. On the ensuing drive, Dan Murphy put the Wildcats back in the game after a 1- yard touchdown run. making the score 14-7. Cal-Poly continued to dominate ihe game until Kenny Russaw caught a two-yard pass from Fournier and took it 64 yards up the field for a touch­ down, his seventh consecutive game with a TD reception. . Russaw finished with five recep­ tions for 111 yards and one touch­ down. Fournier completed 19-42 passes for 192 yards while Julian Hamm was the leading rusher for the Wildcats with 49 yards on six carries. "Despite the two losses, the team is coming together and we'll be ready to prove that Saturday," Russaw said. On Saturday, the Wildcats will have the home field advantage over NAIA division rivals PLU, starting at 1:30 p.m. set for a winning season by Darci Grimes Staff reporter Central's varsity volleyball team has plenty to celebrate after winning both of their home gamps this week­ end. The Wildcats hosted Montana State Friday evening at Nicholson Pavilion, beating the Yellow Jackets three games in a row and raising their season record to 13-5. Junior Sarah Carney hit over 45 percent and had only one error in 22 attempts. Saturday night the Wildcats beat Western New Mexico State after a vig­ orous lour^game battle against the Mustangs. Junior Mary Chi and fresh­ man Teanah Trolio each had 13 kills at net, which helped bring the league record up to 2-0. The Wildcats arc headed up by Coach Mario Andaya, who is serving his fir.s year as head coach, after he- letter winners from last year. Return­ ing players include All-league setter Tracy Harmon, who averaged 9.9 as­ sist a game, outside hitters Sarah Ludes-Camey and Magan Prkut. Carney, a junior from Selah had 195 kills, 31 service aces and 311 digs last season. Prkut, a 5'9 senior from Montesano had 133 kills, 22 aces and 55 blocks. Andaya believes that the Wildcats are more consistent than last year. There iare also a few freshmen who will be assisting the Wildcats. Several key players to look for this season include: Sr. Tracy Harmon, who was All Conference last year Sr. Megan Prkut, who is the team's lead­ ing hitter and juniors Mary Chi and Sarah Carney. In order to challenge for the Pacific Northwest Athletic Conference titie. Andaya said that his team wiil have to rely on ball control and defense. And so far it shows.

Soccer teams kick off new season Home game opener on Saturday by Kari Belton Assistant Sports Editor Despite injuries and eligibility hassles, Central's women's soccer players are kicking their way to a comeback. "Last season our ties were as good as losses," Coach Larry Foster said. "We tied with teams we had beaten before. Our mission this year is to find a way into the playoffs." The women on the team have dedi­ cated themselves to getting there. Last week's game against Gonzaga gave them an opportunity to show their determination. "We went ahead and gave up the usual two shots," Foster said. "A couple of years ago we would have rolled over and lost. This year they brought it together on the field, found a way to win, and won convincingly. It's good to see player responsibility." Injuries have plagued both the men's aq^t women's teams this season. Freshman Stephanie Grovdahl under­ went surgery on her Achilles tendon, and junior Jennifer Thompson is out with an ankle injury. Neither player Central's men's soccer team prepare to face Cascade College this Saturday. David Dick/Observer will likely compete. and now we're starting to put some of "We are trying to convert mid-field- it out," Coach Foster said. "Our last ers to play in the back," Foster said, two weeks of practice have been bet- "and it's been a real struggle for us. ter." There's not a lot of bench time for them." The women will take on Simon Frasier at noon, Oct. 5. Foster is also serving as men's coach for the first time. "We started out like a house on fire Foster describes his first year with the men's team as "really frustrating," due to unrecognized potential and an inability to sustain intensity. "We're having difficulty dealing with adversity, instead of finding ways to win," Foster said. READTHE OBSERVER SPORTS SECTION TO GET THE LATEST SCOOP ON YOUR FAVORITE CWU TEAMS! i!": V:: i' -l' Like the women's team, the men have had to deal with their share of injuries. Also, the NCAA denied freshman Donavan Welch's appeal to play for the Wildcats. "Our freshmen have really come through for us they didn't have a choice," Foster said. "Tim Burke is a fast learner. He's able to play out of position and gets his minutes in. Dur­ ing our last game he scored 10 seconds after walking onto the field. Kallis and Sauvc have really stepped up too." Foster feels the freshmen will pro­ vide a good nucleus for next year's team. "I think we've taken stock of where we are," Foster said. " We've had a really good week of practice. The best we've had since the first week of Sep­ tember." The men will host Cascade College at 3 p.m on Sal. Oct. 5. % Welcome To Ellensburgs' Leading Fitness Center GYM Support CWU Athletics!

Page 22 Thursday, October 3,1996 Observer Trammell drops basketball for track by Kristy Yingling Sports Editor After towering over last season's scoring record, junior Nicole Trammell has chosen not to play with the Central women's basketball team this season. Last year Trammell transferred to Central in hopes of resparking the women's basketball team. She did just that by averaging 21.2 points a game and scoring 530 points for the season, which helped advance the Wildcats to the Pacific Northwest Conference play­ offs for the first time. "I expect the scoring to be picked up by the team," Coach Nancy Katzer said, "probably by two or three women on the team to make-up for the 21 points that Nicole scored." Instead of playing basketball this season. Trammell has decided to tum out for track and field. Trammell is planning on throwing the shot put and javelin. She has three years eligibility for track and two years eligibility in basketball left. Katzer recruited both Trammell and Freshman Jennifer Sharp last season in hopes thai the two would quickly turn the team around. But, as it stands now, both women arc no longer on the team. Sharp quit early last season stating that «— I expect the scoring to be picked up by the team. — Nancy Katzer their were some conflicts with Katzer. "I get along with Nancy really well," Trammell said in the Yakima Herald Sunday's edition. Trammell was unwilling to com­ ment further on this subject. Trammell has decided that only taking on a single sport this year will help her focus more on school and her individual self, where basketball is a team-oriented sport. Trammell told the Herald that de^ pending on how badly she misses bas­ ketball will determine whether or not she will return to the team. This season Katzer has young tal­ ented players that have been recruited from all over the state. She is look­ ing to the.returning players to step-up and take charge.

The meeting was basically to answer questions and inform the team mem­ bers what the practices and games would be like. "Most of the girls were nervous, because they have never played rugby before, but I told them not to worry because I was in their shoes at one time," Hronek said.
