Students fight RPZs by Tim Yeadon Staff reporter A group of students are making one last stab at preventing the Resi­ dential Parking Zones from going into effect on Nov. 1. Arming themselves with several hundred signatures and a petition, they plan to demand a reversal of the parking ordinance limitations due to a lack of student involvement in the process. "Since we make up half the town's population and we bring in a lot of money we should have a say in major decisions that affect us," senior Susan Owley, petition organizer, said. Owley said the petitions desired effect is to get the RPZs canceled. She plans on presenting the petition to ASCWU President Adam Eldridge before the new parking limitations go into effect. Owley doesn't feel that the RPZs See RPZs/Page 4 Tribe claims 9,300-year-old skeleton by Kelly Lawing Asst. copy editor Two men stumbled onto the re­ mains of a complete caucasian male skeleton, believed to be the oldest ever found in the Northwest, during the Water Follies hydroplane races in July on the Columbia River near Kennewick. The skeleton was found out on the Columbia's banks. The Benton County Sheriffs Department called in forensic anthropologist, Dr. James Chatters, to examine what was be­ lieved at the time to be a victim of a homicide. Upon examination Chatters found a spearhead made of rock embedded in the pelvic bone of the skeleton lead­ ing him to believe that the remains belonged to a pioneer. However, the injury was not the cause of the death because it had signs of healing. A sample of the skeleton was sent to the University of California, Riv­ erside, for radiocarbon dating. The remains were dated to 7,300 B.C. making the skeleton 9,300 years old. Chatters and two other forensic anthropologists, Katherine Mac- Millian (Sands), Central anthropology professor emeritus, and Grover S. Krantz, an anthropology professor at Washington State University, came to the same conclusion: the remains were not characteristic of any of the tribes during that time period. The skeleton has narrow cheek bones See BONES/Page 3 Break-ins baffle campus police by Brien Battels Staff reporter University police said a total of 26 cars were robbed last week, caus­ ing about $11,000 in lost and dam­ aged property. Police investigated 16 vehicle prowls on Oct. 21, rather than eight as reported in last week's Campus Cops. On Oct. 24,10 more cars with shattered windows were found in lots around campus. "We have increased patrols in the parking lots to deter these people," Steve Rittereiser, campus police chief, said. He added that police have col­ lected evidence from the break-ins, but have not focused on a particular suspect. In each case, the vehicle's passen­ ger window was broken with a rock or some kind of tool, and valuables in­ side were stolen.

Page 2 Thursday, October 31, 1996 Observer Ghost accident, missing flag, odd odors Tuesday, Oct. 22,12:17 a.m. Officers were dispatched to break up a fight between a man and a woman outside Carmody-Munro. On their ar­ rival they found several people shout­ ing at a 19-year-old man near the hall. Witnesses said they saw him strike a 19-year-old woman in the face with his fist. He was arrested and booked into the Kittitas County jail. Wednesday, Oct. 23,12:03 a.m. Officers and Ellensburg Fire De­ partment paramedics responded when an 18-year-old man began complain­ ing of chest pains at Hitchcock Hall. He was transported to Kittitas Valley Community Hospital. Wednesday, Oct. 23,1:30 p.m. A collision between a parked 1992 Lincoln Towncar and a 1972 Ford pickup in the 0-5 parking lot occurred without either driver being present. The pickup either slipped out of gear or was in neutral, and rolled from its space into the Towncar, causing $300 in damage to the right front headlight. Wednesday, Oct 23,10:15 p.m. Officers were called to investigate a suspicious odor on the third floor of Beck Hall. Officers contacted three 18-year-old men and a 19-year-old man, and discovered marijuana and drug paraphernalia. An 18-year-old man was charged with possession of marijuana and the others with possess­ ing drug paraphernalia. They were all cited and released on their signatures promising to attend their court dates. Thursday, Oct 24,8:39 a.m. There was a report from Peterson Hall that a U.S. flag was stolen from by Brien Battels the hall sometime in the previous two days. The flag was worth $65. Thursday, Oct 24,9:57 p.m. Officers responded to a report of a suspicious odor on the second floor of Alford-MontgOmery Hall. They con­ tacted a 19-year-old woman at her residence, and seized marijuana and paraphernalia. She was cited and re­ leased. Friday, Oct. 25,9:53 a.m. A 1975 Dodge van was involved in an accident with a 1976 Toyota Land Cruiser in the I-15 parking lot. The van driver, a 27-year-old man, was back­ ing out when his brakes apparently failed. The van struck the cruiser, parked directly across the lot, driving it over the curb. The van sustained $500 worth of damage, and caused $100 damage to the land cruiser. Friday, Oct 25,11:35 p.m. Officers responding to a medical emergency at Beck Hall found an 18- year-old man extremely intoxicated and vomiting profusely. The paramed­ ics were called due to the amount of alcohol he had ingested. His MIP ci­ tation was mailed to him. Saturday, Oct 26,12:30 a.m. Officers responded to a complaint of loud music and voices in the D sec­ tion of Student Village. They con­ tacted a 25-year-old man and advised him of the complaint and the city's noise ordinance. The officer gave him a warning ticket. Saturday, Oct. 26,12:11 a.m. Officers were dispatched to Beck Hall to assist an unconscious 18-year- old man. His room was in disarray, with several items broken, and there was a strong odor of intoxicants. Ellensburg paramedics determined the man was in no danger, and he was left with some friends. The officers mailed him an MIP citation. Saturday, Oct 26,10:35 a.m. A 19-year-old man reported his 1989 Kawasaki Ninja was knocked over in the I-15 lot. The right turn sig­ nal was damaged, and the gas tank sustained scratches and dents, result­ ing in about $500 in damage. Officers are investigating further, because the motorcycle was parked in a car stall, and a car was parked next to the mo­ torcycle. Saturday, Oct 26,12:25 p.m. An 18-year-old woman told police her Calvin Klein jeans were stolen from the Beck Hall laundry room. The loss was estimated at $50. Saturday, Oct 26,10 p.m. Officers observed an 18-year-old man with an open can of Schmidt Ice Beer outside Meisner Hall. The subr ject was cited with an MIP. Saturday, Oct 26,10:22 p.m. Officers encountered a 19-year-old man at the front door of Quigley Hall holding a Schmidt Ice Beer, and gave him an MIP. Saturday, Oct 26,10:50 p.m. A 19-year-old man crossed the street in front of a patrol car at the 1000 block of North Chestnut, trying to conceal a Busch Ice Beer. The of­ ficer cited the man and another 20- year-old man, who was in the area with another beer SUB theater dedicated to Cesar Chavez by Lydia West New&Editor The SUB theater was renamed last Thursday to honor the late Cesar E. Chavez, Hispanic leader for the United Farm Workers of America. Chavez is credited with form­ ing the union and leading farm workers in a non-violent struggle to obtain certain rights as em­ ployees. Farm workers were, and are often still, paid little, made to work long hours and denied ba­ sic benefits. "[Cesar] taught us how to fight a fight with non-violence and love," Rosalinda Guillen, United Farm Workers regional director, said. Last Thursday's ceremony in­ cluded speeches by President Ivory Nelson, Sister Maria de Jesus Ybarro, Sarah Shumate, Guillen, and United Farm Work­ ers President Arturo Rodriquez.

Observer Thursday, October 31,1996 Page 3 Alcohol: Number one reason i. students fail to graduate by Heidi Betts Staff reporter Alcohol abuse is the numbetone reason students fail to graduate from Central, according to Mark Dettner, the director of the prevention and wellness program. Many drop out, while others are asked to leave. The Bacchus and Gamma peer education network pamphlet said,"Alcohol abuse and conditions have become the number one health problem in America, and there are few people who have not been af­ fected by alcohol abuse these days. Some lose jobs, suffer from alcohol­ ism, sacrifice relationships, or cause drunk-driving accidents." "We care" was the motto for Central's Alcohol Awareness Week last week. The goal of the week was to promote safe and responsible choices concerning alcohol. During the week there were a se­ ries of educational programs on campus available to all students. Dettner and Karl-Erik Andreasson, from the CWU health Patty Murray, D-Wash., answered Central students' questions in an informal meeting the ASCWU BOD held Friday. "I owe Central Washington University students a lot of gratitude for their fight on student loans," Murray said. "It was a very lonely battle back in Washington, D.C." Murray will be up for re­ election to the Senate in 1998. David Dick/Photo editor and counseling center made a pre­ sentation in Club Central located in the SUB. "I can talk to students and tell them if they are abusing alcohol," Dettner said. Dettner can then refer students to resources off campus. There is also the counseling cen­ ter located in the health building that is available for students who feel they have a problem with alcohol. "Where you find alcohol abuse, you usually find other problems," Dettner said. "Depression often is linked to alcohol abuse." Dettner feels excessive drinking to the point of being drunk is not ac­ ceptable behavior. Lee Williamson, the new director of the CWU women's resource cen­ ter, discussed date rape. Alcohol is involved in 80 percent of acquain­ tance rape. At least one of the two involved is usually intoxicated. There was also a presentation on alcohol and sexual awareness sched­ uled for Club Central. CWU campus police chief Steve Rittereiser gave a talk titled "Alco­ hol and the Law," in Club Central. Ken Briggs, health education professor, made a presentation on the effects of alcohol on the body. A "mock" wrecked car that was the result of a drunk driving accident and crosses that signified alcohol-re­ lated deaths were displayed on cam­ pus. "Most of my friends drink to get drunk," junior Julie Helleson said. "I think it is their choice as long as they are responsible and use caution." Other students agree with Helleson. "Drinking is acceptable if it is used in moderation," senior Terri Cooper said. "There is a difference between drinking to get drunk and drinking socially." Cooper said that some people do not know the difference and that is when problems can occur. Students who feel they may have a problem or know of a friend who may be dependent on alcohol can stop by D. A.P.P.E.R, located in SUB 106, any time during the day.

Most of the thefts occurred in 1-15, N-19 and X- 22 lots. "We would like people to pay at­ tention to possible vehicle prowls, because the method of entry, with the breaking of glass, is loud enough to be detected if you're somewhere near," Rittereiser said. Rittereiser said victims can do more to protect their property by ac­ tivating their car's alarm and storing faceplates, CD players and stereos at home. BONES From page 1 which is uncharecteristic of the tribes of that time period. This fact has caused a controversy as to who could legally claim him as part of their cultural heritage. "This skeleton would be almost impossible to match among any of the Western American Indian tribes," Krantz said in a Sept. 30 New York Times article. The U.S. Army Corps of Engi­ neers has jurisdiction over the land where the remains were found, but the land is part of the Umatilla Indian Tribe'^ancient burial grounds. Be­ cause of this, the Coalition of Co­ lumbia River Tribes filed a claim with the Corps requesting the skel­ etal remains be turned over to the Umatilla Indian Tribe, who wanted to bury the remains in a religious cer­ emony. The Native Graves and Repatria­ tion Act of 1990 requires the remains found on any tribal lands to be handed over to the tribes so that they may bury the remains in accordance with their religious beliefs. "The appearance and age of the bones doesn't matter," A1 Halfmoon. a leader of the Confederate Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation, said- in the Oct. 3 issue of the Tri-City Herald. "Federal law states the bones are theirs to bury." "When there's a death, American Indians traditionally would pray that person will get peace and return to Mother Earth undisturbed," Halfmoon said. "I would think that type of prayer was said over that person. And now he is uncovered and treated with disrespect. In our eyes, it's disre­ spect." Many in the science community feel that the Corps interpretation of the law is not allowing for the further test­ ing or investigation of the skeleton's origin. MacMillian also felt that it would be a grave injustice for the remains to be released to anyone without further scientific studies being performed. We need to do DNA, MRI and other tests to see which culture he belongs to," MacMillian said. "Key concern was the law and definitions contained in it," said Dutch Meier, chief of public affairs of district headquarters in Walla Walla. The Corps had originally planned on turning the remains over to the Umatilla Indian Tribe on Oct. 23, but eight scientists filed an injunction with the Federal District Court in Portland to stop or delay it. The U.S. District Magistrate John Jelderks did not grant the request but did request that the Corps notify the science community two weeks in ad­ vance of turning over the remains. The skeletal remains will remain in an undisclosed location until all of the claims have been carefully investi­ gated. "We do not at this point have im­ mediate plans to turn over the remains to the Coalition," Meier said. "We're going to be very careful . how we proceed," Meier said. "We're going to obey the laws and abide by the decisions and guidance provided by the court." Ariel Ordaz helped research this story. NOVEMBER SPECIAL! 8TANS NOW OPEN 7:3 O AM r 7 PA\ MGN. F'Ri.

Page 4 Thursday, October 31,1996 Observe^ RPZs: People don't want to walk a mile J: From page 1 will make the parking problem go away. "It's silly, especially when there are no places to park," Owley said. "There's not enough room for all the people who commute, especially when it is negative 20 or 30 degrees out, people don't want to walk a mile to classes if they don't have to." According to Ellensburg city man­ ager David Moseley almost every university in Washington has an RPZs. "We're not breaking completely new ground here, and yes it's an in­ convenience, there's no question about that," Moseley said. "What we are trying to do in implementing the ordinance is to have a very balanced approach which is not punitive to any­ one, but tries to encourage the univer­ sity community to use parking that is available to them on the campus. which relieves some of the university related congestion in these neighbor­ hoods." Eldridge said he was only slightly familiar with the anti-RPZ petition but would definitely present it where he thinks it will have the most impact. "All summer, rhe^ didn't really want to listen to the students, I don't know how much they are going to want to now," Eldridge said. "I don't know what seeing it on a piece of pa­ per will mean to them." Eldridge didn't think the city coun­ cil would pass the RPZ ordinance dur­ ing the summer with so few students on campus. The city council passed the ordinance at their Sept. 16 meet­ ing. "We didn't understand why they were trying to do this during the sum­ mer, we didn't know if they were try­ ing to pull one over on the students," Eldridge said. "We tried to make sure that student voices were heard, and —~~— To be honest, I wonder how much the city council viewed student concerns. — Adam Eldridge they weren't just going off and doing whatever they wanted." At the end of August, Eldridge thought things were looking good. Eldridge and the city council had an acceptable agreement that he de­ scribed as containing "some give and take." "Then some members of the com­ munity wrote a couple of letters, and those letters pulled more than the weight of letters Land other university folks wrote," Eldridge said. "Things took a sudden turn and got worse." It soon came down to the point where Eldridge and other student lead­ ers saw that the RPZ was going to go through. "Writing letters and going to the meetings did not have the effect we thought it would have," Eldridge said. What would happen if Eldridge took a petition 1,000 signatures strong to the city council? "Absolutely nothing, at least noth­ ing immediately," Eldridge said. "It got to the point where they didn't see the arguments that we brought up as legitimate concerns. To be honest, I wonder how much the city council viewed student concerns. With some of the things that went on dur­ ing this whole process, it puts a ques­ tion in my mind about how much the city council cares about students." Moseley disagreed with Eldridge saying that there were a number of public meetings and public hearings Super Value November Special! _• .J , '.'A . •' t i'.- j:. - fe-.c. m m I LI MENS SOREL B Let us color your world!! •Semi-Permanent haircolor . •Redken ^Shades E.Q.

Thursday, October 31,1996 Observer Election '96 endorsements The Observer editorial board met on Monday and voted on which candidates we would endorse for the offices of President of the United States and Governor of Washington State. We present here both the majority and-minority opinion of the board to provide both sides of the 1996 election. The majority of the editorial board endorses Bill Clinton as the candidate for president. Over the last four years Clinton has demonstrated his ability to run this country by reducing the national deficit and crime, while increasing the federal role in protecting the environment and keeping the cost of higher education down — the last an issue of particu­ lar concern to all students. The minority of the board endorses a man who isn't running this year — retired General Colin Powell. What's telling about this is that the board supports a Powell presi­ dential bid more than his fellow Republican, Bob Dole. Powell would be no stranger to the White House as he served as a military adviser to Presidents Nixon, Reagan, Bush and Clinton. For many people, Powell is reminiscent of another Army officer who served in the White House — Dwight Eisenhower. The majority of the editorial board endorses Gary Locke as the gubernatorial candidate with experience in both state and local governments. As governor, he plans to focus on five primary goals: strengthen public education, economic development, increase public safety, preserve the environ­ ment, and streamline state government. He believes that education is the "great equalizer," which enables people of all ethnic backgrounds, gender and income levels to excel. The minority opinion of the board supports Republican candidate Ellen Craswell, an openly Christian candidate. . She feels that control over education belongs to parents and. school boards, is opposed to raising taxes and people with 'alternative lifestyles,' and stands tough on crime.

The people we are electing in office this term are going to pave the way for many fundamen­ tal changes to either occur or be left back at the polling place when No­ vember 5th is finished. Sadly, college students are not the constituency which plays a big part in politics until they are much older that's the time when they realize just how much of a role the body of gov­ ernment can play in their lives. It is for this reason that 1 urge every student and voter reading this letter to take action and elect competent officials this Election Day. The principles and foundations of Democratic Party are that which em­ phasize the benefits of the student in college. Student loans, minimum wage and job creation are all issues the Democrats have championed with al­ most no help from Republican coun­ terparts. If Ellen Craswell were elected gov­ ernor, the consequences would be grave. Her radical views include privatizing education and removing government from the schools in all forms, which would prove disastrous to students who need financial aid in order to go to school. And as for mini­ mum wage, she wishes to eliminate all child labor laws, thus evicting the minimum wage and erasing all stan: dards for protection of people working their way through school or whatever else. Republican presidential candidate Bob Dole is not as extreme, but the consequences would be just as strict. But what about that 15% tax cut? That's over a three year period at 5% per year. His voting practices in Con­ gress for the past decades elaborate that his policies do not match those of common sense. He even voted against sending a man to the Moon. Neither he nor Ellen Craswell are typical representatives of the student body here at Central or many people all over this state and this country. Sincerely, Jason Rudd CWU College Democrats Why students should vote People often ask me, as Vice Presi­ dent for Political Affairs,"why should I vote? I already know who is going to win." In past months, I have had a lot of answers to that question. I used to appeal to patriotism and say vote becauase you believe in America, in democracy. I used to say the issues were important. I used to say that there are more important things than voting for president. I could tell, this seldom worked. Now, I believe that I can sum up the best reasons to vote in a few short sen­ tences.

It is your right. It is your responsibility. It is your future. I say it is your right because on June 21,1788 - when New Hampshire was the ninth state to ratify the Con­ stitution - only white property owners could vote. If you remember your high school civics class, African Americans were not viewed as citizens - or even as full people until 1868! On top of this, women were excluded from the whole election process, and each state decided at what age a per­ son could vote. The 15th Amendment allowed the See VOTING/page 7
Observer Thursday, October 31,1996 Page 7 VOTING: Don't throw away your rights From page 6 vote'to all citizens without thd bias of "race, color, or previous condition of servitude." The 19th Amendment gave women the vote, and the 26th al­ lowed 18-year olds the right to vote on the wars that they were being drafted to fight in. Once, about 99% of you could not have voted in any election. Now, most of you throw that very choice - the one many would and have died for - away, because you know who is going to win. We earned the responsibility, we should use it! When I say it is your, responsibil­ ity, I mean that this great state and nation are at crossroads. Choices people make today will change the direction our great nation is moving. Should we spend our tax dollars on higher education, making us competi­ tive in the world? Prisons? They make us safe, but do they make us pro­ ductive? Do we need term limits or campaign finance reform? Should we allow bear hunting with dogs, or pro­ tect more endangered animals and the - environment? In this election, everyone has a re­ sponsibility to think of the future. Tony Gepner, Student Verbal abuse deadly For those of you who missed Pro­ fessor Elizabeth Street's presentation at Fall Convocation, I wanted to go back [and] remind you of some impor­ tant points she made. She spoke on citizenship, leadership and commu­ nity. As I hear reports of interactions between students and staff, students and faculty and student to student, I [am] reminded that we need to be more caring, more responsible and more aware if we want to exist within a civil environment. Professor Street defined commu­ nity as a place that offers mutual aid and a sense of common purpose. But more importantly she said "Commu­ nity is a function of the behavior of individuals" reminding us that citizens behave in civic minded ways and thus communities are formed. I've been struck recently by the number of uncivil acts being reported: students angry enough to burst into staff meetings uninvited and the deliv­ ery of an angry diatribe, students leav­ ing hostile and obscene messages on voice mail systems expecting service, but never identifying the problem, or faculty members who berate a particu­ lar ethnic Or racial group or continu­ ally humiliate women within the class such as calling them "rich bitches" as if that were part and parcel of what we are trying to teach. Verbal abuse is one of the most deadliest characteristics of our society because it seems to be so prevalent. Sometimes hidden until the guise of "free speech" and constitutional rights, how we treat each other in our daily interactions determines the qual­ ity of community we have. We need to remember that each person has dig­ nity and worth and that feelings affect learning and thinking as do personal circumstances. Violence is prevalent throughout our society, we need to seek ways to minimize or eliminate violent verbal abuse as a part of the learning process. Sarah E. Shumate, Ph.D. A more detailed report of Dr. Street's views is available on-line in the Observer Oct. 10 issue in the edi­ torial section. POSSIBLY PREGNANT? CALL 925-CARE FRFF PRE6NANCYTESTS!

Page 8 Thursday, October 31,1996 Observer Observer niiuiiim ESttttttl eiF Third party platforms address problems by Kari Belton Asst. Sports Editor To many who have never seen a ballot it may seem that the presiden­ tial race consists of Democratic in­ cumbent Bill Clinton, Republican challenger Bob Dole, and the omni­ present Ross Perot of the Reform Party. But beyond the muck-slinging commercialism of the primary parties, there are seven other Presidential and vice-presidential hopefuls vying for their shot at the big house on Pennsyl­ vania Avenue. Independent candidates Ralph Nader and Winona LaDuke believe our country is struggling and in need of more democracy. They hope to pro- vide Americans "with the voice, power and tools to shape" our country's future. The Independent candidates hope to quell the influence of big business and stop the "addictive entertainment" that is flooding the minds of young children via the me­ dia. Nader and LaDuke believe that the environment should be in the fore­ front of everyone's campaign agenda. Monica Gail Moorhead and Gloria La Riva represent the Workers World Party. Moorhead and La Riva believe socialism is the solution to the prob­ lems that plague our society. The WWP would call for a ban on plant closings and layoffs from companies like Boeing and Weyerhaeuser and in­ crease the minimum wage to $12.75. Moorhead and La Riva would " ex­ pand social benefits by taking over the trillion dollar Pentagon budget." Workers right's would be expanded believe that America must restore "ju­ risprudence to its Biblical presupposi­ tions." They also hope to eliminate N.A.F.T.A., involvement in the UN, and promise to veto taxes on income, inheritance and small businesses. James Harris and Laura Garza, the candidates for the Socialist Workers Party, hope to offer a voice for work­ ing people. The SWP advocates "Jobs for All" and propose shortening the . work week without cutting wages or The Democrats and Republicans aren't the only shows in town. Here are some of the other political parties - from the Workers World Party to the U.S. Taxpayers Party - with their presidential candidates and agendas and justice would be sought for the "racist death penalty." Howard Phillips and Herbert Titus of the U.S. Taxpayers Party promise to end legal abortions by appointing judges who acknowledge unborn chil­ dren as U.S. citizens. If elected, they would veto any bill that offered money to Planned Parenthood, the Depart­ ment of Education and the IRS. They ' benefits. "Our campaign points to the his­ toric necessity of overthrowing the rule of the exploiting class and fight­ ing for a workers and farmers govern­ ment that will run society in the inter­ ests of the majority of humanity, like revolutionary Cuba." Harry Browne and Jo Jorgensen are running for the Libertarian Party. They hope to reduce the role of the federal government to a minimum. The Libertarians believe in cutting taxes and vow to keep "Congress out of all areas not authorized in the Con­ stitution." They feel this will lower the federal budget and therefore elimi­ nate the need for income taxes, and allow Americans to spend and invest freely. The Natural Law Party is repre­ sented by John Haglin and Vinton Tompkins. They believe that by tap­ ping into an individuals "intelligence and full mental potential," we can bet­ ter educate students and prevent crime. The party also hopes to introduce tran­ scendental meditation to inner-city en­ vironments to reduce stress levels. Haglin and Tompkins also support a cut in taxes that will stimulate the economy and reduce unemployment. In reality, none of the members of the above parties has a chance of win­ ning the coveted Presidential office. However, by receiving a percentage of the vote, alternative candidates hope the major parties will pay attention to the issues that the "lesser known" par­ ties think should be covered. The real story behind "The Residence 9* For nearly 200 years, the White House has been the private residence of every U.S. president. As election day approaches, there are a few things that hopeful tenants might want to know about the spacious six-story home at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. For example: • The term 'private residence' is somewhat of a misnomer as the house receives approximately 6,000 visitors a day. •The building is actually known as "The Residence," while the Old Ex­ ecutive Office Building across the street is known as the White House. • The house has 132 rooms, 32 bathrooms, 28 fireplaces, seven stair­ cases, three elevators, a tennis court, jogging track, swimming pool, movie theater, billiard room and a bowling lane. • Hungry? The Residence features a full-time staff of five chefs who can whip up dinner for you and 140 of your close friends, or just hors d'ouerves for more than 1,000 people. • There's new carpet in the Oval Office with 13 colors in it that repre­ sent - you guessed it - the 13 original colonies. • The house was last renovated during the Truman Administration, from 1949 to 1952. • If you plan on just visiting the house, the Secret Service prohibits photo courtesy of Tony Gepner animals, balloons, food, guns and The White House: A nice place to visit, just as long as you ammunition, knives with blades over ^eave Vour balloons, guns, mace and nunchucks at home, three inches, mace, nunchucks and • Did you get to see "The Ameri- is a 'Dish Room' (called the China smoking on the tour. can President?"

Young Republicans vow fight to the end by Tim Yeadon Staff reporter No way this presidential race is over, CWU's Young Republicans say as the Nov. 5 general election ap­ proaches.

So why has Dole trailed incumbent president Bill Clinton since day one? "Dole's not as well presented as 'Slick Willie," Beckett said. "It's just style over substance," Lester said. Many of the Young Republicans feel that the media has a liberal slant that causes them to be misunderstood. "It saddens me how brainwashed people are by the liberal media and how ignorant they are on the issues," junior Brian Stromberg, Flight Tech, said. Beckett agreed, adding that it's dif- ' ficult to pick-up a newspaper or watch any TV show and not be presented with a liberal view. "We need to educate the people on campus. Many have preconceived ideas because of the liberal media," The Issues and tfie Candidates Beckett said. The Young Republicans plan to invite conservative speakers to their meetings and will also attend regional GOP events. Lester invited everybody to join the Young Republicans at the county GOP headquarters on election night to watch the returns. The Young Republican Club meet at 7 p.m. on the first and third Tues­ day of each month in the Samuelson Union Building's Chief Owhi Room. For more information, call Derek Lester at 925-3534.

The Democratic Party is stunned by defeats in the mid-term congres­ sional elections. For the first time since 1952, they lose control of both houses. There is a Republican in the Speaker's chair. Commentators begin wondering how President Bill Clinton will muddle through the rest of his term. 1996. Central Washington Univer­ sity. Bill Clinton is riding high in the polls, and Central's College Demo­ crats have about 20 politically, moti­ vated young people promoting their party's ticket. Bill Maher, president of the College Democrats, said things weren't all that gloomy for the last two years. . "I don't agree that the party in gen­ eral was in disarray," he said. "But it is true that we have a stronger College Democrat club.... I think because this. is an election year. There's more inter­ est in 1996, just because everybody's going to be more interested in who's going to be president, governor. That doesn't happen every year." Maher and College Democrat Vice President Rick Vogler got to see the man they hope will be president, Bill Clinton, during his campaign stop in Seattle last month. "We didn't get to shake his hand, but we were invited to the Saxophone Club which was exciting," Maher said. "There were only 200 people there, among them movie stars, TV actors, and musicians." The Saxophone Club is Clinton's title for his post-rally thank you din­ ner. Central's College Democrats were founded last spring as the Young Democrats, but reformed this quarter with a new name and more members. The College Democrats advance the Democratic Party by volunteering to telephone voters and party mem­ bers, post campaign signs, and go door-to-door to help national, state and local Democratic candidates. But Maher said getting Central stu­ dents turned on has been more diffi­ cult. "I feel to a large degree this cam­ pus is very apathetic, politically," he said. "It's our goal to educate this cam­ pus to the views of the Democrats and views of politics in general." Maher said the College Democrats are trying to arrange a debate with the Young Republicans before the Nov. 5 elections. Other activities include a trip to Olympia on Nov. 8, which is open to anyone who wants to go regardless of party affiliation. The club is also planning another major trip in the spring to Washington D.C. and will start raising funds soon. The College Democrats meet every Tuesday night at 8 p.m. in SUB 204 and 205. The race to become 'First Pet' After the dust settles on election night this Tuesday, voters will have decided not only who will be staying in the White House for the next four years, but whether there will be a cat or dog house out near the Rose Gar­ den. Many presidents have had pets in the White House, and the two primary candidates this year are no exception. The incumbent first pet seeking a sec­ ond term is the feline Socks Clinton. Socks' rival from Kansas is Leader, Bob Dole's canine companion. On both sides of the fence: Socks Clinton (left) is already on the inside, while Leader Dole (right) wishes their roles were reversed. Fast facts on the Presidency • Who was the last Democrat re-elected as President: Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1944. • Who was the oldest President in U.S. history: Ronald Reagan. However, if Bob Dole is elected, he will be 73-years-old at the time of his inauguration, making him the oldest president. *P

K&mola Hall, with its creaky floors, winding stair­ cases, candle holders and doors that slam shut for no apparent reason, has never been a place for the faint of heart. "They tell me when you hear foot­ steps at night that it's probably Lola," Robert Geier, Kamola resident, said. Lola has always made for a good ghost story around Central and Ellensburg. As the story goes, Lola was a student studying to be a teacher at Central Washington State College during World War H.

Kamola Manager Heidi Hollander suggested you might want to leave young children at home, but there will be a kids Halloween-coloring room available.

There, the "stairway to nowhere," a short flight of stairs, leads up to a trap door known as "Lola's at­ tic," and then stops. Unusual coinci­ dence or not, find out on Halloween night. Spooky music starts holiday by Anitra Barlin Staff reporter Eerie music and glowing red lights ushered in the annual Halloween con­ cert Monday night in Hertz Hall. Under the conduction of Daniel Baldwin, Central's 66-member or­ chestra gathered before a standing- room-only crowd to perform spooky Halloween selections such as Bach's "Come Sweet Death" and C. Saint- Saens' "Danse Macabre." Adding to the festive atmosphere, the Central Washington orchestra was in full Halloween regalia, with mem­ bers wearing such bizarre and varied costumes as a devil, snake, gypsy, death, and a mouse. An annual tradition here at Central, the Halloween orchestra concert led off the holiday festivities this year, which includes Boo Central and Kamola Hall's Haunted House. The concert started off with the-gleam of jack '0 lanterns and Margret Gries' rendition of Bach's "Toccata and Fugue in D Minor" on the organ, fol­ lowed by the appearance of other-worldly monks straight out of birds dropped from the ceiling and The Halloween concert directed by Daniel Baldwin was a mix of spine comedy. the movie Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Much to the delight of the crowd, the monks walked across the stage chanting and hitting themselves with their concert folders. The mix of comedy and passionate music did not cease there. During Offenbach's "Overture to Orpheus in the Underworld," socks representing bounced in time with the music. And in the selection immediately follow­ ing, "Come Sweet Death," several members of the orchestra pretended to die on stage with their fellows bewail­ ing their demise. At every step in the performance, the audience welcomed the masterful renditions of the darker classics. "I thought it was really great," stu-. dent Dan Pope said. 'The balance was really well, too, between music and comedy put together." Echoing his sentiments was Holly Camp, also a student here on campus. "I thought it was really good," she said. But the clincher to the night of spooks and laughter came when the Heather Ziese/Observer tingling music with a dash of orchestra performed music composed by John Williams for the movie Super­ man. While the orchestra played, one member portraying Lois Lane was supposedly kidnapped and dragged to marching band practice. She was res­ cued by one of her fellows dressed as Superman himself, who defeated the evil kidnapper and carried Lois away to the wild cheers of the crowd.

That was where Tool performed a mind-bending, furious conceit "It was orgasmic loud " Thomas Paria The field house at UPS serves the same purpose as Central's Nicholson Pavilion only Nicholson will probably never be teeming with over5,000college-aged Tool fanat­ ics. The eerie stage decor, which in­ cluded two contorted statue-like figures on either side of the set and a black lighting scheme* created a feeling of mysterious anticipation. Tool's curtain call at 7:30 p.m. came and passed, arid a feeling of anxious foresight seemed to perme­ ate everyone. Agitated fans tired of waiting began to push and shove. It was a prelude to frenzy. Finally the lights dimmed and the crowd was pacified. It was only a calm before a storm, however. When Tool materialized out of the backstage blackness, the crowd den- sified and imploded toward center stage. A brutal, body-grinding "pit" was formed in the mayhem. Maynard James Keenan, Tool's lead vocalist, was clad only in boxer shorts, shaved bald, and painted light blue from head-to-toe. The black lights shining on Keenan gave ,him a purplish-blue hue he had an animalistic, uncanny presence from the moment he appeared to the mo­ ment he exited the stage. The composition of Tool's songs varied between quiet, slow, and tribal-like, to blistering, demanding, and virile. At times, Keenan's voice was calm and hypnotic he lulled the audience into a peaceful state of mind, his vocals resonating their souls with gentle reassurance and security. Then his voice would erupt into blistering fury causing the crowd to detonate into delirious pan­ demonium once again. It was like a giant emotional roller coaster ride and very physi­ cally exhausting for the crowd.

The students, who all live in the shadow of gangs and poverty, warm to their new teacher only after he risks his life to show them that violence is not the answer to their problems. This light-hearted comedy was not as obnoxious as I'd expected it would be. Described to me by friends as a Lethal Weapon-like movie, I was pleasantly suprised when there was more emphasis on the storyline than on insane antics. This movie had just the right amount of laughs combined with action. One thing I find amazing is how, in Hollywood, semi-nerdy guys always win the hearts of beautiful women. These babes usually strut around, murmering brainless expressions of love to their panting boyfriends. Re­ freshingly, in this movie, the beauti­ ful face has a brain behind it. When everyone else has given up, she res­ cues Mr. Clark from wallowing in self pity. She, in actuality, is the true hero however, she allows her beau to re­ ceive all the credit. (So, how smart could she be?) This is a great movie to see if you need inspiration, especially if you are majoring in education. In fact, for a few moments I felt I should switch my major accordingly so that I, too, could save the world. What the heck, go see this one on the big screen! High School High • See it by Mike Blankenship Staff reporter What do Gone With the Wind, The Sound of Music and Apollo 13 have in common with High School High? Absolutely nothing. This flick is in a league of its own. High School High is so bad, it's good, and not even the Naked Gun movies can hang. The story line can be described as Lean on Me on crack. The film follows Jon Lovitz as he gets hired as a teacher at Marion Barry High. He tries his best to fit in with the roughnecks but almost gets beat down a few times. On his first day of classes, his car, his watch and his briefcase get stolen, all this before he gets out of the parking lot. Once he gets through about six metal detectors, and walks past the 40 ounce malt liquor machines, he reaches his class. Anyway, I'm not ashamed to say I liked the movie and recommend it.

Central fans came out in record numbers and the sunny day provided a few fans the opportunity to really show their spirit (Above). Coach Jeff Zenisek talks with the defense mid-game (Below). David Dick/photo editor Wildcats upset Vikings, by Lisa Allen and Dan Hanken Staff reporters With one of the largest crowds in Central's history packed into Tomlinson Stadium, the Wildcats up­ set the #2 ranked Western Washing­ ton Vikings, 34-20 on Homecoming Saturday to capture the Cascade Cup. in a monumental victory. "It was one of the biggest crowds I!ve ever been associated with," Coach Jeff Zenisek said. "The crowd added to our momentum after we were ahead." Since 1922, the Wildcats and the Vikings have battled each other, and this "rival factor" came into play on Saturday as the Wildcats (3-4) handed the previously undefeated Vikings their first regular season loss since 1994. The Vikings (5-1) had a streak of 15 consecutive regular season wins going into this game. On paper, the Vikings looked to be the stronger team and were heavily favored to win, but Central's potent of­ fense and stingy defense played its best game of the season. *Game4: PLU44, r Central 41,.' • Game 6: Simon Fraser 47/' '• Garne 7 Central 34, : , ,x. .SANT0$n£,$r,', noseguiard: / , , S V / • / ' s , S • MARTI, Fr. nickclback: . .. mmxm wmm tapietea iaor/y * Stoller later saved a potential West- tackle on the Vikings' kick-off re- turner who had ran by almost every­ one on special teams. Central's defense then stole the spotlight as they dominated play for the next eight minutes. Central's ag­ gressive pursuit stopped the Vikings dead in their tracks when senior Craig Bill came up with a sack and the de­ fensive line disabled Western's run­ ning game. The Wildcat defense, including se­ nior defensive back Rico Brown, freshman defensive end Ryan Sawyer and other younger players, looked tough as they stopped the Vikings from substantiating any type of drive. "Ryan Sawyer has been working hard, and has been getting better and better each week," Zenisek said. "We decided this week that we would go with him as the starter." After stuffing the Vikings again, Central turned the ball over at their own 35-yard line giving the Vikings an excellent opportunity to score. Three plays later, Erath threw a 28- terback Darren Erath on the Vikings Vard touchdown pass to retake the lead second possession. 10-7 after the successful extra point.

After a tough defensive stand by the 'Cats, Western was held to a field goal from 39 yards out to take an early 3-0 lead. The rest of the first quarter was a battle of the defenses and neither team was able to put points on the board counted for half of the plays on the drive, including a diving, one-handed catch placing the Wildcats in scoring position. The touchdown came on the 12th play of the drive when Fournier kept the ball, sprinted around the right end, dove into the right corner of the endzone and knocked down the touch- Rico Iniguez came up big in the down marker, similar to the way first quarter, stuffing Viking running Russaw knocked down a Western de- back Ryan Wiggins on third down for fender in Fournier s path. no gain on their first possession, then Greg Stoller kicked a successful intercepting a tipped pass from quar- extra point giving the Cats a 7-3 lead. through the air with poise and confi­ dence. Murphy scored the 'Cats first touchdown of the third quarter on an ight- yard run, narrowing the Viking lead to 17-13 after Stoller's extra point kick was blocked. The 'Cats struck again when Fournier hit Russaw on a screen pass which turned into a 43' yard touch- David Dick/Photo editor "I was really suprised with Nate Marti," Zenisek said. "He is a really good athlete and his athletic ability helped him make plays." Brown came up big for the Wild­ cats as well with a crucial interception and a fumble recovery. The Wildcat offense refused to let the defense have all the fun as they took to the field again marching 75 down. That reception extended yards in eight plays before Murphy plays to attack first. Erath hit a strid­ ing Chris Nicholl for a 56-yard touch­ down to extend their lead over the 'Cats to 17-7 after the extra point. Not to be outdone, the Wildcats not only retaliated against the Vikings but showed why they wear championship rings. Central's 27 unanswered points in the second half made the road trip from Bellingham seem even longer for Western fans as they watched the de­ fending NAIA Champions go to work. The 'Cats offense was unstoppable with Murphy pounding his way throught the Viking defense on the ground and Fournier launching passes Russaw's streak to 11 consecutive games with a touchdown catch and added to his record of 170 receptions, 2,553 yards and 37 touchdowns. With a 20-17 lead the Wildcats found no need to stop there, as they forced Western to punt on their next possesion. Freshmen Edgar DuBose and Wanis Nadir blocked the punt and Mike Talamaivo recovered to put the Central offense back on the field. On the next play, Fournier hit Tony Frank for a 23-yard touchdown pass, padding the Wildcat lead, 27-17, after Stoller's extra point. The duration of the game was big play defense and special teams. Fresh­ man defensive back Nate Marti made a diving third down deflection and a quarterback sack. Senior Yuchun Santory had two quarterback sacks and sophomore Chad Rathburn had a quarterback sack. scored his second touchdown on a four yard run. After Stoller made the ex­ tra point, the Wildcats had a 34-17 lead. The Vikings scored one last time before hitting the locker room when they made a 35-yard field goal late in the fourth quarter, to make the final score 34-20. To the more than 4,200 people in attendance it was evident who came to play and who didn't, as the Central fans rushed the field with excitement and pride. "The senior leadership won the game for us," Nate Marti said. "Aaron Maul was focused the entire game, and provided leadership for me and the younger players." The next game is at Southern Or­ egon University on Saturday. The next home game is on Nov. 9 at 1 p.m. against Western Oregon.

Men's socccr suffers defeat by Ryan Johnson Staff reporter Central's men's soccer team lost in a grueling battle to Concordia in a Pa­ cific Northwest Athletic Conference game by a score of 0-3 on Sunday. Jason Goodrich, Brian Heigh, and Paul Willoughby all scored in the first half to clinch a win against the Wild­ cats. Central had only five shots on goal to Concordia's 13. The Wildcats are doing all the things necessary to win, but just can't finish. They are working the ball around around well, but when they get themselves within the 18-yard line they get nervous and panic, or rush it and end up taking a low percentage shot. "They capitalized on our mistakes and drove the ball upfield," Central goalie Shawn Tobius said. Coach Larry Foster told his play­ ers at half time that they were playing good ball, and all they had to do is fin­ ish. "We came out flat for the first 15 minutes, but after that we played re­ ally well," Central forward Jeff Rawlings said. Central is now 4-13 overall and 0- 7 in the conference.

Women's soccer feels the thrill of victory over Western, 1-0 by Kim Kuresman Staff reporter The women's soccer team brought home a hard earned victory over the Western Washington Vikings last weekend with a score of 1-0. Junior Abby Hovsepian shot past the Viking's defense to score the win­ ning goal off a mid-field pass from sophomore Melissa Routh in the sec­ ond half. The goal makes eight this season for Hovsepian. Coach Larry Foster said the game was Central's best team defensive ef­ fort this season. "Melissa Sawyer (sophomore) was just phenomenal at the sweeper posi­ tion and our entire back line played great," Foster said. That praise extended to Routh, sophomores Gretchen Talmadge and Kellie Johnson,, and freshman Kerri Witt. "Of all their (Western's) shots, only one was really dangerous," Foster said. Johnson was injured on a hard tackle. The play resulted in a yellow card for a Western player. Central held the ultimate advan­ tage, outshooting the Vikings 13-9. In addition, goalkeeper sophomore Am­ ber Rikerd recorded her first shutout of the season with six saves. The Wildcats have one game left, and a season conference record of 2-6 and a 7-8-1 record overall. Central hosts Western Oregon this Sunday on the varsity field at noon.
