News editor "He lit the fire we maintain the flame." Seventy members of Central's community chanted and marched on Jan. 16 to honor the life work of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. People rep­ resenting diverse ethnic groups came together to celebrate King's life. "His life informed us his dreams' sustain us yet," Vice President for Stu­ dent Affairs Sarah Shumate said. The march began at 11 a.m. by the Bassetties residence halls and traveled the campus, ending in a march around the inside of the SUB and upstairs to the SUB ballroom. • Some marchers joined en route, some carried signs, and all joined their voices as one to honor the civil rights leader. "I felt very inspired," Ron Wash­ ington, a Central student who works for Student Affairs, said. Washington said he had never been a part of a march or rally before and was glad for the opportunity. Leonard Edmond, of Residential Services, said despite the weather and short time to prepare and advertise the event, the turnout was good. "I had no idea, being the first year, how it-would go," he said. Edmond said he was pleased to see the diversity in ethnic background of the attendees. "I felt really good about the com­ position [of the crowd]," he said. The rally began with a recording of "The Star Spangled Banner," followed by Carmen Lehman's rendition of "Lift Every Voice and Sing," known as the black national anthem. There were speakers representing many different campus and commu­ nity groups including the Black Stu­ dent Union, Gay And Lesbian Alli­ ance, Movimiento Estudientil Chicano Azlan, and the Native Ameri­ can Council among others. Dr. Sawraj Singh, president of the Kittitas Valley Coalition for Human Rights, was the first to speak. He said humanity had to live together or de­ stroy each other. All spoke on the impact King's work had on their lives and what so­ ciety must do to carry on his dream. "When I think about Martin Luther King, Jr., I think of a main who opened the door for me who opened the door for us all," BSU president Lisa Allen said. Shawn Reese, who spoke for the Native American Council, encour­ aged the crowd to "truly be our broth­ ers' and sisters' keepers," while Jess Navarro, of MEChA, urged all in at­ tendance to "unite forces to fight rac­ ism and discrimination." GALA president Kirk Loe began his speech by singing "We Shall Overcome" and continued with a poem on equality. Shumate was the last to speak. A veteran of the civil rights movement, Getting a jump on the job market by David Henderson Staff reporter Many students don't prepare for a job until after they have graduated. They expect to have a career just wait­ ing for them after college, when actu­ ally they need to create a place for themselves in the working world. "I think students themselves have good qualifications, but I still think they rieetl'a lot of help,:' Maxine' Herbert-Hill assistant director of the Career Development Office, said. "I don't think they're quite as astute on how to transfer those qualifications into an application and becoming a viable candidate in the work force." For students who went straight to college after high school and haven't experienced a full time job, the tran­ sition from academic life to working full time will definitely be tough. So when should students start preparing for a job? Right away. For students who have not yet found their calling in life, there is a list of things they can do to help them­ selves decide and get prepared. There are career exploration classes offered each quarter, one-on-one counseling, and assessment tests to help pinpoint their talents and needs. Once students have decided on their major, they can explore oppor­ tunities by using the resources in the career library. Career and job infor­ mation, work-related experience, and other hands-on education can be found in any field, but it's important to start looking early to begin to stand out to prospective employers. "I think the biggest problem most of the time is lack of preparation. Stu­ dents wait and wait for graduation and they don't prepare themselves for a job," Randy Williamson said. For students who are already in their majors and have a focused direc­ tion there are valuable resources in the See FUTURE/Page 3 Heather Zelse/Observer Dr. Sawraj Singh, president of the Kittitas Valley Coalition for Human Rights, was one of the many speakers at the Martin Luther King, Jr. rally. she incorporated history and current taught us nothing else, it's that one issues into her speech. person can make a difference," she "If the civil rights movement said. Several shots were fired at Cam­ pus Courts trailer park early Satur­ day morning in what the Ellensburg Police department is calling a gang related incident. The shooting, located in the vi­ cinity of 11th and Maple near the Bassetties residence hall complex, left no one injured and the shooting suspect is now in a Yakima juvenile detention facility with bail set at $500,000. According to EPD Sergeant Brian McElroy, around 2 a.m. a verbal exchange erupted between 38-year-old trailer-park resident Terry Maybin and three juveniles after which the alleged shooter, a 15-year-old Yakima male, fired at Maybin. Sgt. McElroy added there had been previous problems between the two parties. The 15-year-old male, a former Ellensburg resident, was arrested after an off-duty EPD officer spot­ ted the suspects car around 4 a.m. in the Yakima River Canyon. Back-up was called and the alleged gunman was arrested along with a 17-year-old Ellensburg girl. The Ellensburg girl was ques­ tioned and released. A third suspect, a 17-year-old Yakima male, is still at large. Last winter, Maybin was charged and convicted in connec­ tion with an assault when he en­ tered a Campus Village apartment brandishing a pistol. He then shot 30-year-old Kenneth Parker, wounding him in the thigh.

Wednesday, Jan. 15, 12:55 a.m. Officers were dispatched to the X- 22 parking lot north of Student Village to a possible vehicle prowl. Officers contacted two people matching the suspects' description and determined it was not a vehicle prowl. The two 20-year-old men were le­ gitimately inside the vehicle. During contact, both were found to be under the influence of alcohol. They were cited as minors in possession of alco­ hol. Wednesday, Jan. 15,2:01 p.m. An LG A at Carmody-Munro found MARK A.

The victim was leaving a party in a friend's vehicle when three men and one woman crossed in front of his car and one kicked snow on the vehicle. When the victim confronted the individuals, the suspect hit the victim in the head with a full bottle of beer, then with his fist. The victim decided to run and in the process fell down. The victim then observed the male get into a white Bronco with a blue stripe, and follow him down the road. The driver of the Bronco swung at the vic­ tim again from the vehicle, this time missing him with his fist. The victim ran to his residence in Campus Village.

Observer Thursday, lanuary 23,1997 Page 3 Getting the job done for your graduation by Rob Kauder Staff Reporter It's been four long years... years filled with countless sleepless nights, mind-numbing lectures and last-minute frenzies to cram a quarter's worth of knowledge into one weekend. Now, after all this time, you think you're ready to graduate. Well, are you ready? Find out by taking this simple, one-question test: Have you applied for graduation? If you answered no, then you have much to do before you don a cap and can be used as references tocareer employers. There are a number of thatlisteinployers in different , fields and have detailed job de- shops offered include applying for cooperative education, Job search­ ing skills, resume writing inter­ viewing andadjusting to the world gown and walk across Tomlinson Field on June 14 in the commence­ ment ceremony. James Pappas, dean of academic services, has four words of advice for graduating seniors: "Apply for graduation early." Graduation packets are already available at the information desks on the first floor of Mitchell Hall for people planning to graduate at the end of spring quarter. The staff of academic services recommends stu­ dents try to get the packet back to academic services as soon as pos­ sible to avoid any last-minute rush. The main reason they recom­ mend students get their applications in early is so academic services can process them and get them back out as fast as possible. Then students can see if they have any deficiencies — such as classes they still need to take — and plan their last quarter class schedule accordingly. "With a graduation checkout, if [a student] is deficient in general education requirements, if they're two or five hours shy, we can get to them right away," Pappas said. Academic Services' secret weapon in keeping stu­ dents on track is their new degree auditing soft­ ware that is currently go­ ing through beta testing.

Thursday, January 23,1997 Observer L What's up, "Doc?" Rep. Richard "Doc" Hastings was scheduled to visit Central last Friday. Unfortunately, he had to bow out, citing weather conditions on the passes. That's too bad, because it's past time for him to talk, face to face, with Central students about the issues that affect them. In the last election season, Hastings was nowhere near as visible in Ellensburg as his opponent, Tri-Cities businessman Rick Locke. Hastings limited his visits here to the Rotary Club and a Republican fundraiser. Not venues that are likely to include many Central students. Why is this important? An issues guide compiled by the ASCWU Office of Legislative Affairs, and pub­ lished in the Observer last quarter, claimed Hastings wanted to eliminate direct lending for student loans, restrict access to Pell grants and other grants, opposed work study, and opposed the proposed increase in the minimum wage. These things hit uncomfortably close to the cash flow of many college students. Doc Hastings: A no-show on Friday. A no-show during the election. Is he also a no-show when it comes to protecting government aid to students? Surely Doc Hastings has some reasons for his posi­ tions, and can show that we all benefit in the long run from his fiscal conservatism. Or perhaps listening to students will change his mind. We hope the weather improves soon, so he can come here and begin answering our questions.

The issue of whether or not gay people choose their sexual orientation is a hot topic, loaded with intense emotion on both sides. My letter is not intended to discuss the merits of an issue to which there is little scientific evidence to support either view. Rather, I think it important to discuss expectations and civility. Mr. Loe had the expectation he would not be attacked by the editorial staff at the Observer. In his view he was so attacked. Many heterosexuals hold the belief that gay people choose to be gay. This belief is offensive to gay people as it implies they have re­ sponsibility for being that which many Americans revile. Therefore, it would seem that the underlying premise, upon which Mr. Loe's letter was based, provided sound reason to make complaint. However, and more impor­ tantly, his tone was defensive and ac­ cusatory. It is understandable that he may have felt defensive and felt like accusing the editor of poor word choice. Be that as it may, it is still in­ appropriate for the president of GALA, a university representative, to be defensive and accusatory in a pro­ fessional letter. I am equally disappointed in the Editor's Note, which responded to the letter in question. Not only was the Editor's Note in poor taste, it was based solely on personal feelings. Clearly, personal feelings do play a role in professional life, whether or not we want them to, however, it is impor­ tant to portray a professional attitude when responding to an issue as a uni­ versity representative. The Editor's Note did not do that. Instead, the edi­ tor "took [the] insults so personally" that he was unable to see the real is­ sue at hand. The issue was Mr. Loe felt victimized as a gay person by the us­ age of the word "choice" in reference to his sexual orientation. Clearly, both parties felt maligned, and as we live in a global environment, where there is misunderstanding, these kinds of occurrences are bound to hap­ pen. The proactive approach to misun­ derstanding is to educate in a kind, caring, and responsible way. It is one thing to gently point out the error in • LETTER WRITERS: All letters must be submitted by 3 p.m. Friday before the week of publication date.

The words "drivel" from Mr. Loe's letter and the phrase "shoot­ ing yourself in the foot" from the Editor's Note are good examples of unnecessary hostility. I write this letter in hopes that our attention can be more proactively fo­ cused on issues of which we deal daily, rather than using hostility as a weapon. Matt Pearcey Central Washington University graduate, 1994 Bible says gay lifestyle is a sin To the Editor: In society today, many people feel homosexuality is not a choice. This is simply untrue. The act of homosexuality is a choice just like acts of adultery, mur­ der, robbery or any other sin. Every­ one has sinful thoughts, but because God gave us free will we can choose whether to act on these thoughts. Saint Paul says, "...And no temp­ tation is irresistible." (1 Corinthians 10:13) I believe homosexuality is mor­ ally wrong because the Bible says it is, and as a Christian, I believe the Bible is true and correct in every way. In my mind this is an inarguable fact. .. The Bible states that homosexuals ,will have no share ih the fangdom of ' See SIN/Page 5. /
Observer SIN: Bible says there is choice From Page 4 God. Does this mean that everyone who commits a homosexual act is condemned to hell? Certainly not. The" Bible also says many sinners will en­ ter the Kingdom of God through for­ giveness. However, everyone must ask for forgiveness.

Bring all letters to Bouillon 222 no later than Monday before the next paper. giveness. I believe that denying the need for Christ's forgiveness would result in my eternal damnation. I sin every day and I did not write this letter to pass judgment on homo­ sexuals. Jesus says, "But only he who never sinned may throw the first stone.'' (JoJin 8:7) Saint Paul.s^ys,, "God alone is the judge of those on the outside." (Corinthians 5:13) However, as an intelligent, rational Christian I should never condone sin, Jesus says, "there will always be temptations to sin, but woe to the man who does the tempting. If he were thrown into the Thursday, January 23,1997 sea with a huge rock tied to his neck, he would be better off than facing the punishment in store for those who harm these little children's souls." (Luke 17:13) It is my choice to believe that condoning sin of any kind would lead me to this fate. Because of this belief, some may choose to view me as ignorant.

Thursday, January 23,1997 Observer B i*le»ii«sgsili» K* j:y "JWMiM•?:s?f i, ... Super Bowl Sunday Students anticipate watching game and celebrating during commercials by Mark Wetter Staff reporter Well, it's that time of year again. The anticipation of Super Bowl Sun­ day is building to a heightened pitch. Whether you watch the Super Bowl for the game itself, to see those com­ mercials that cost Pepsi or Budweiser a million dollars every thirty seconds, or to see those men in tight pants, this media-hyped event offers something for almost everyone. The Super Bowl allows drunken fans the opportunity to scream the loudest they've screamed all year. It even allows those ex-football players out there the chance to relive their glory years with their brethren. Some will root for the Green Bay Packers, who haven't made an appearance in the Super Bowl since the Ice Bowl where the legendary Vince Lombardi headed this fabled team. Others, will cheer on the New England Patriots, who are led by former Walla Walla High School and WSU star Drew Bledsoe. The Patriots will attempt to erase the embarrassment of their last Super Bowl appearance against the Chicago Bears in 1985, where they were pummeled by Mike Singletary and the now famous William "Refrig­ erator" Perry. The "Fridge" actually scored a touchdown in that game. Typically, it is safe to assume most will make a party out of this once-a- year event. If you are not having a party yourself, you head down to the Packers v. Patriots local tavern or a friend's house to take in the game. If you plan to have a party then it must be done right. First, the room must be prepared accordingly. All valuables and furni­ ture which can't withstand continuous abuse from rowdy cohorts must be removed from the room. Next, a tele­ vision, preferably a big screen televi­ sion, must be placed in a position fa­ vorable to all viewing participants. Big problems can arise if a guest doesn't have an adequate view. For this occasion it's usually a good idea to hide the remote control. There is always some wiseguy who wants to change the channel during the com­ mercials. However, as mentioned be­ fore, many fans like to watch the Su­ per Bowl just to see the new commer­ cials. "I only watch the Super Bowl for the commercials," junior Brian Findlay said. "The game is usually a blowout, so that is the most exciting part." Next, you will probably want an assortment of snacks and beverages. Beer is usually a given in this situation (remember, you must be of age). Some enjoy feasting on large sub sandwiches, also. One can either call Subway or Wildcat Sub Shop hefe in town to curb this craving. Some Super Bowl fans enjoy hav­ ing a real pigskin to toss around while they watch the game. Homeowners, please insist to guests the fade pattern has been taken out of the playbook this year. This will avoid any broken win­ dows, furniture, appliances or noses. If one is going to allow friendly wagers to be taken on the game, make sure they are taken prior to kickoff and the point spread has been correctly approved by the participants. Remem­ ber, no changing teams at half-time. If this occurs, the participant must be penalized ten yards and immediately forfeit their wager. However, taunting is allowed at all times throughout the game. Moreover^ it is allowable to spike the ball and dance feverishly after a team scores. Instant replays of this event are not suggested. Make sure guests know personal fouls such as unnecessary roughness and un­ sportsmanlike conduct by any of the guests will also be penalized accord­ ingly. If you don't plan on entertaining others, there are plenty of places to go to catch the big game. Places such as Red Robin, The Tav, The Frontier, The Oak Rail, and Roswell Cafe will be televising the game, and most will be offering some sort of drink special. If you must work, it would prob­ ably be a good idea to fire up the VCR and record this game. Unlike the last few Super Bowls, which have, for the most part, been a joke, this year's game will probably be the most com­ petitive, since Steve Christie lost Su­ per Bowl XXV for the Buffalo Bills to the Giants in 1991. Riemember wide right? This game features two of the NFL's young rising stars at quarter­ back. Brett Favre, the two-time NFL MVP and two-time Pro Bowler Drew Bledsoe as mentioned earlier. So ex­ pect to see a few long bombs from these two talented quarterbacks, who both possess cannons for arms. More­ over, this game features two very suc­ cessful coaches. Bill Parcells is 2-0 in Super Bowl appearances with the New York Giants. Mike Holmgren hasn't been to a Super Bowl as a head coach, but has been there a few times with the San Francisco 49ers as an assistant coach. Fox Television, channel nine on your cable dial, will begin their broad­ cast at 10 a.m. Pacific Standard Time. John Madden will announce his All- Madden Super Bowl squad prior to kickoff, so one will not want to miss this Madden first. Whether you plan to party at home or downtown, make sure you have plenty of food, beverages, friends and money to put where your mouth is. If it's downtown, walk or force one of the crew to drink coke rather than Busch. Keep it clean and yell until you either lose your voice or cough up a lung. I usually don't like to give predic­ tions on Super Bowl games, however, since the Green Bay Packers are play­ ing in this game I simply can't resist. The Packers will prevail in a tight one 28-24. The Cheeseheads will finally reign over the NFL again. Professor, students win fashion awards by Jo Lynn Draper Asst. Scene editor •M Central professor Carolyn Schactler and students Kanae Okuyama and Annamie Hansen won awards for their fashion designs in the 1996 International Textile and Ap­ parel Association (1TAA) convention. Schactler's design, "Gardener's Delight," won the "Best of Func­ tional" award. Okuyama won the"Best of Fashion" award in the un­ dergraduate division for her design, "Origami Tutu" and Hansen won the "Best of Fashion" award in the gradu­ ate division for her "Golden Starburst" design. "They (Okuyama and Hansen's designs) were absolutely superb," Schactler said. "You have to be up close to really appreciate them." Okuyama watched her peers enter the contest her sophomore and junior ve.r As her senior year grew closer, Okuv-una decided that she wanted to * enter a design herself. "I wanted to try this, I wanted to :j»dkc •'••nK,fhi.rg.anusual and some- r h: ng cxciting. and I-wanted to try something dilTerent," Okuyama said. A V m%m From left: Designs by Carolyn Shactler, Kanae Okuyama and Annamie Hansen won top awards at the 1996 ITAA Convention. She began her design by making a miniature model of the dress out of paper origami. Okuyama said it took her three months to complete the dress. "I was so impressed by those three- dimensional forms of the dress (that was created and entered in the 1995 contest)," Okuyama said. "I started thinking, 'Hov* ao I make that shape? Maybe origami will work.' 1 was re­ ally surprised-and-I- was really happy (when I woni" Schactler design began as a seed planted in her mind. The goal was to create an outfit for gardeners that would relieve the knees. Schactler began research for the design by tak­ ing a survey from gardeners what they looked for and needed in a gardener's outfit was the primary goal. The next steps were beginning the design, mak­ ing a pattern, picking out the fabric and experimenting with the form of the outfit. Schactler's final product came out with padded knees. Schactler said a design,takes three , months to a year to produce,-. . . "The competition has been in effect for seven years," Schactler said. "This is my sixth year and the students have entered it for five years. I'm really proud of my students." Schactler has won four major awards and her students have won a total of five major awards with 15 de­ signs making the finals. "That's probably the best record of any school in the United States," Schactler said. . "When 1 started going-to school I didn't'.know what^I wanted to do," Okuyama said. "I really like clothing. It's the best, and if I'm going to learn something, I want to do clothing and designing." Schactler spent-25 years designing and selling outfits to clients. She has spent the last 20 years teaching at Cen­ tral. After five years at Central, Schactler developed the Apparel De­ sign Program. "I wanted to share," Schactler said. "I like to teach, and I wanted to teach what I love." Okuyama, originally from Japan, has been living in the United States for six years. After graduating fromCen­ tral in June 1995, she was employed as an assistant teacher at Central. By law, after finishing school Okuyama is offered one year, known as practical training, to stay in the United States before going back to Japan. "I'm hoping to either find a job in Seattle or maybe go home and find a job in the fashion industry," Okuyama said. Schactler said that Hansen is cur­ rently living in her home country of South Africa as a buyer for a large clothing store. "There are many, many opportuni­ ties for employment in this industry," .

Observer Thursday, January 23,1997 Page 7 CD Review • Veruca Salt • Reviewer's Verdict: Veruca Salt is about to release their second CD titled Eight Arms to Hold You. The group entered the music scene in 1994 with the hit "Seether" from their first album, American Thighs, which reached the Top 10 of Billboard's Modern Rock Tracks Chart. Veruca Salt has appeared with well-knowns, such as Weezer, Live, Hole, and PJ Harvey. Veruca Salt got started when singer-guitarists Nina Gordon and Louise Post began working together in Chicago's Wicker. Park area. Some months later, Gordon and Post were joined by bassist Steve Lack and drummer Jim Shapiro, Gordon's older brother. How­ ever, Stacy Jones, formerly of Letters to Cleo, replaced Shapiro. Many people have asked the ques­ tion, "What the hell is a Veruca Salt?" The band was named for a character in the Roald Dahl children's novel, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Now that this band's story is laid out for you, I'll tell you what I thought of Eight Arms to Hold You. T-R-A- S-H! Ok, maybe it wasn't complete trash. There were a couple of good things about it. Let's just say it would be a good CD to have for background noise, literally. Or maybe it would make a good mirror for when you can't find a real one. Whatever the case may be, I'm sure you could find a much better way to spend your money. The CD starts out okay with a couple of good tracks titled "Straight" and "Volcano Girls." What I like about these songs is the beat and the tune. Veruca Salt reminds me a bit of the band Lush, ("Ladykillers"). The two bands share a certain likeness in their musical style that I enjoy. Veruca Salt is a bit more mellow than Lush, but overall I find the bands' sound similar. However, Veruca Salt doesn't hold a candle to Lush's vari­ ety of musical selection and pure tal­ ent. The lyrics on Eight Arms to Hold You are almost unintelligible, so I can't comment on song content. Nev­ ertheless, the easy rhythms of tracks such as "With David Bowie" and "Earthcrosser" make up for lost words. Just ignore the singing and listen to the music. I was very surprised to find that after listening to the first six tracks or so, I didn't even notice when one song ended and another began. That's not because I wasn't paying attention, but, to put it plainly, if you've heard one song on this album, you've heard them all. The band found one chord they were good at and stuck with it. There is little creativity, originality, or imagi­ nation put into this album. "Each song is about as original as an Elvis sighting," junior Andy Mulcahy said. While the album does have some nice rhythms and good tunes, it's just too repetitive. Eight Arms to Hold You is due out on Feb. 11, but I don't rec­ ommend it for people who value vari­ ety in their music! -Sarah Petty Music provided by Rodeo Records Marketing Club makes skiing affordable by Ryan Johnson Staff reporter Everybody likes to go skiing, but prices today are outrageous. College students are not as wealthy as some might think. Central's Marketing Club is providing a way for students to go skiing that won't break the bank. The Marketing Club is hosting a ski trip to Red Mountain in Rossland, British Columbia, 125 miles north of Spokane. The trip will take place Feb. 14-17, and it only costs $185 for lift, lodging and transportation. The university's transportation will be leaving Feb. 14 at 3 p.m. and will arrive at Red Moun­ tain at 9:30 p.m. The three school vans provided hold fifteen people each, limiting the ' •• vfV "" Junior Shane Drexler gets rowdy on a sunny Red Mountain day. Daundra Budd/Observer number of students going to 45. The cost of the trip includes transportation to the mountain, a four-person room and lift tickets for three days. Central's Marketing Club has orga­ nized the trip for six years now, and the turnouts have been excellent. They average 30 to 45 people every year. "Last year when I went it was nice and sunny and the snow was great ev­ erywhere," junior Jill Kitchens said. "I would recommend this trip to any­ one. It's well worth your money." Red Mountain has a base of 3,200 feet and peaks at 5,208 feet. The mountain offers a variety of terrain, everything from easy green to difficult triple black diamond runs. "Red Mountain is a skier's moun­ tain, it's not like Whistler where people say they're going to ski and end up going for the nightlife instead," senior Alan Mace, Marketing Club vice president of finance, said. "The snow there is consistent from top to bottom, and it's really good powder." Right now the base consists of 90 inches of snow and averages its annual snowfall at 300 inches. Jerry O'Gorman, a personal friend of Red Mountain owner Skat Petersen, and an avid skier, calls Red Mountain one of North America's best-kept se­ crets. "Ever since I joined the Powder Hounds here at school, we've been going to Red Mountain and I just love it," O'Gorman said. "It just has a vast amount of terrain for people with dif­ ferent skill levels." Red Mountain offers guided tours for those unfamiliar with the area. They will ski with you all day and it doesn't cost a cent. There are about 35 openings left for students who want to catch some of the best snow at an incredible price. Reg­ istration and payment for the Red Mountain ski trip is due on Feb. 1. For reservations or more informa­ tion call 1 -800-663-0105, or call the Marketing Club at 963-1173. NEED HELP?

When a foreign child is found on the shores of Japan by a group of ninjas, the age-old prophecy of a white child becoming a ninja unlike any other seems to have been fulfilled...NOT! Instead of a legend­ ary ninja master, Haru (Chris Farley) grows up to be, well, Chris Farley. Haru witnesses a murder after be­ ing hired by Allison Page (Nicollette Sheridan) to follow her boyfriend. He then embarks on a quest, which takes him to the "hills of Beverly," to save Allison from her counterfeiting, mur­ der-prone beau. Haru is followed by his older, adoptive brother (Robin Shou) whose mission is to assist Haru in his quest, undetected. Lydia: Overall, I think this movie could have been a lot funnier. As long as you're going to have yet another Chris Farley movie, at least let him go with it. It seemed a little less crazy than it needed to be to achieve hilarity. Where was the big laugh, the unsur­ passed slapstick, the zany Saturday Night Live humor? Mike: I laughed a lot, but it seemed to me to be typical Farley he falls down and breaks things. I also liked his expletive for this character. Instead of "Holy Shnikeys!" like in "Tommy Boy," it's "Holy Shito!" (pronounced "shee-to"). I also wished Chris Rock's character could have had a bigger part. Lydia: I know! Chris Rock is a ATTHF MOVIES Movie: Beverly Hills Ninja Starring: Chris Farley, Nicollette Sheridan and Chris Rock Mike's take: Farley falls a lot. Lydia's take: I'm still recovering. funny guy, but he's not really utilized in this movie. He spends most of his time chasing a chicken around and getting knocked out (don't ask me to explain). I don't really think he got a single laugh out of me. It was a com­ plete waste of a good comedian. Mike: Sheridan's character was a pretty strong one. Even though she did have to be rescued at the end, she got Farley out of more than a couple of messes. It seemed like every time he got into trouble, either she saved the day, or Shou did. She seemed smart and self-sufficient, even if she did have the occasional "Save me!" line. Lydia: Whatever! Sheridan was a hot body slipped into a wardrobe of tight pants and short skirts. Purely male eye candy. And what was there for the women to look at? Farley's butt. Wow, be still my fainting heart. Mike: Okay, so she's gorgeous. Don't hate her because she's beautiful. Farley might not be People's "sexiest man alive," but what about Shou? In any case, Sheridan's character would have been just as strong if it were played by Rhea Perlman. Then again, nobody cares about character strength when the movie is called "Beverly Hills Ninja." Lydia: That is exactly why they never would have cast Rhea Perlman in this movie, they weren't looking at Sheridan's character strength when they were casting for this picture. The thing that really saved this movie, though, was the final fight scene. Farley and Shou went all out, and Farley was surprisingly agile, with his Jean-Claude Van Damme-like split- jump. Mike: Yeah, that last fight scene was pretty cool. There was some good action, and it was funny at the same time, especially Farley doing the split- jump. I thought it was a good way to bring the film to a climax. Lydia: I think the big problem with this movie was that they had all the right ingredients: Farley, Rock, amusing title, ninja action. They just didn't do much with it. It could have been a lot funnier. They should have used what they had and made it a knock-down, drag-out, hilarious flick. Unfortunately, they didn't. Mike: It's not the kind of movie I would normally go see in the theater, but I would definitely rent it and prob­ ably will. Lydia: Yeah, it's definitely a renter, but I'm not thinking I would rent it and watch it again. Once was enough. Farley slapping his own butt is not enough of an incentive to sit through that movie again. COPPi3* Joinus for Breakfast, s. - Lunch, or Dinner!

Observer Thursday, January 23, 1997 LIFTER EYES NATIONALS by Jeff Foster Sports Editor In the sport of powerlifting, success is measured by strength, and C WU senior, Mike Durand personifies it both mentally and physically. Durand competes in the sport that measures its competitors through the bench press, squat, and dead lift, all basic power movements that require both skill and precision in their execution. "I love the sport, and I love training," Durand said. "It (powerlifting) forces you to set long and short term goals, and each competition allows you to achieve those goals." Accomplishing goals is exactly what Durand has done thus far in the spoil. Competing in the super heavyweight division, Mike has placed in the top three in virtually every contest he has entered. These days, Mike is training for the Senior Nationals in Atlanta, Georgia, which is a qualifier for the world competition held in England. "I hope to break 2,000-pounds at the meet," Durand said. "I honestly believe Iran place in the top three,* • if I stay healthy." The 2,000 pound goal for Durand would entail an 800 -pound squat, a 500-pound bench press, and a 700-pound dead lift. These poundages can only be reached through total dedication and discipline in training as well as diet and sleep. Durand's daily calorie intake in the "pre-contest" phase of his training is up around the 7,000 range. "I eat a good, nutritious meal every 2-3 hours," Durand said. "I get 60-65 percent of my calories from carbohydrates, 20-25 percent from protein, and 10-15 percent from fat." In the off-season Durand gets about 5,000 calories per day with the same percentages. An example of one of.the many meals he , , . , . consumes in a day would be two full -size skinned chicken breasts, one cup cooked rice, and two cups pasta. Lifting, dieting, and resting are important to Durand, but in order to handle the enormous poundages, Mike relies on an inner strength. "I mentally rehearse my workouts at home before I even go to the gym," Durand said. This past year has been somewhat of a disappointment for Durand due to the several injuries, the most serious being a herniated disc in his back. It prevented him from qualifying for last year's world competition. With the amount of weight he was lifting prior to his back injury he would have placed third at the competi­ tion. "My body was over-trained (at the time of the injury), it was the worst injury of my life," Durand . said. Durand trains at The Gym where onlookers often just watch in awe when he performs his lifts. His name stands alone in the squat category on the wall where top lifter's names are placed.

Gat wrestling pummels PSU By John Fazio Staff Reporter Second year head wrestling coach Kevin Pine was probably crawling around in a diaper the last time Cen­ tral Washington University defeated Portland State University in a wres­ tling match. Not a single member of the starting lineup for the Wildcats was even a twinkle in their parents' eyes that Jan. 12,1968. Now, nearly three decades later, the Wildcat wrestling program is right back where they need to be. The 'Cats defeated Portland State University for the first time in 29 years by the score of 24-12. The Wildcats lost the opening two bouts, and then bounced back to dominate the next seven in a row to put the match out of reach for PSU. "They've got a really young team," Pine said of PSU's squad. Central's 177-pound freshman, Chris Feist', picked up his team-read-' ing 17th victory of the season with an 18-3 technical fall while his family cheered him on. "I was really on," Feist said. "My mother and grandparents were there and I really wanted to step it up for them." • Jeremy Brummett, normally a 167- pounder, wrestled at the 190-pound weight class and wort a 9-3 decision. "Jeremy's a strong kid," Pine said. "He controlled the tempo and that's the best I've seen him wrestle all year." Junior Steve Gusse, at 167 pounds, won in dramatic fashion scoring a takedown in the final 20 seconds to give him 10-8 victory. Junior Leighton Smiley, at 134 pounds, and senior Tim Kitchen, at 150, both scored major decisions for the 'Cats. Freshman Ben Orth, wrestling at 142, and twin brother Bart Orth, at 158, also picked up victories in the contest. Snapping the 23-match losing streak, the Wildcats ran their dual meet record to 3-5. CWU hosts Simon Fraser on Thursday night and Clackamas Com­ munity College on Friday. Both matches are scheduled for 7 p.m. The Central Washington Univer­ sity Invitational will be held on Satur­ day, Jan. 25, from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. With eight wrestlers officially quali­ fied for nationals, Pine and the Wild­ cats are hoping to possibly pick up See GRAPPLE/Page 11 mm hhi Wildcats tamed twice Heather Zeise/Observer Jodi Coker shobts ftonrt thfe top of the key during .the game , against Western. by Lisa Allen and September Woods Staff reporters . Coming off a 77-49 defeat against Lewis-Clark State last Thursday, the women's basketball team can at­ tribute an injured point guard and a tentative team of players for the loss. Point guard Carrie Gosselin, who sprained her ankle in the early first half, found herself sitting on the bench, as her teammates tried to re­ group without their team leader. Many of the players made signifi­ cant efforts on their own. SeniorJodi Coker had a strong game going four for four from the floor and hitting all 10 free throw shots attempted. Coker led the 'Cats with 18 points and five blocks. However, Coker and the 'Cats came up short against the Warriors. "We didn't execute as well as we should have and we went out tenta­ tive," coach Nancy Katzer said. ' • / .With oneiloss on theirCoirferenc.e' record, the 'Cats were ready for their game against the Western Vikings. Saturday night wasn't just another basketball game for the Wildcats. There was more at stake than a check mark in the win/loss column as both teams took the Nicholson Pavilion floor in a heated rivalry that has been in existence longer than any player in either team uniform. The 'Cats won the tip-off, pushing the ball up court.Wendy Roberts found the 6-foot-2 Coker inside the paint where she banked it off the glass for the first two points of the game. Central built momentum early as they attacked the hoop from every angle of the court. Guard Carrie Gosselin, playing on an injured ankle, found her rhythm as she hit nothing but net, sinking an early three -pointer to put the 'Cats out in front. Western came out aggressive as well, match­ ing almost every bucket the 'Cats made with one of their own. Wendy Roberts, a 5-foot-11 junior-college transfer,.showed early that she wasn't afraid of the seventh-ranked Vikings as she started with a drop-step, taking the ball inside and ending with a cross-over that counted for two. "Western's ranking was in the back of our minds," Roberts said. "We knew we could beat them." The first half proved to be as excit­ ing as you can expect when these two teams matchedup head to head. First half action saw Gosselin with all-around play both offensively, where she hit from downtown all night long, and defensively, crashing the boards. Gosselin finished the game with 26 points. Becky Matzen, a freshman guard from Oak Harbor, showed team play when she followed up with a basket that brought the 'Cats within two, forc­ ing Western to take a 20-second time out to rethink their game plan and to cool the 'Cats off, as they were really beginning to heat up.

Page 10 Thursday, January 23, 1997 Observer * v Sports in Brief Central's search for new coach begins An eight-person team has been selected to find the best appli­ cants for Central's now vacant position of head football coach. The committee, consisting of six faculty members and two students, will review applications, and recommend the finalists to be interviewed . for the position. The final selection will be done by CWU athletic director Gary Frederick. The deadline for prospective coaches to submit applications is Feb. 28, and Frederick hopes to name a new coach by April 1. Football pair given All-American honors Central's punter, Greg Stoller,was named last week to the 1996 NALA Division n All-American football team. Stoller, who aver­ aged 42.2 yards per punt last season was the 20th Wildcat All- American in history to be given first-team honors. Also given honors was Kenny Russaw, who was named to the 1996 NAIA Division II second team. Russaw, an All-American first team member in 1995, missed his chance-to-become only the sec­ ond two-time first team All American in Central's history.

The new league, implemented to meet the demands of the more com­ petitive student-athlete, consists of two divisions: men's Pro "A" and men's Pro 6-foot and under "D". The separation of skill levels in intramural hoops this quaiter enhances the overall appeal of intramural bas­ ketball. Games are geared towards the competitive athlete. Experienced ath­ letes, from high school varsity to col­ lege level, are filling the rosters. "We have guys that have played at junior colleges and even guys off the football team. They're all experienced athletes," said university Recreation Director Bruce Mace. In years past, experienced, high- powered intramural teams waited un­ til the playoffs to face teams of com­ parable talent. Presently, the new men's "Pro" basketball league offers experienced bailers the opportunity to face quality rivals throughout the regular season. "Teams are more competitive in this league," John Wilby, a 6-foot-3 power forward in the men's Pro "A" division, said. "The Pro league gets rid of teams that have no business being here." Decreasing blowouts and elimi­ nating poor sportsmanship are the de­ sired results. "Sportsmanship is better this year than it was the year before," veteran official Lance Lyons said. "Teams are a lot friendlier." Competing this season for the men's Pro "A" division are six teams. The Silver Bullets, Freckled Hogs, Bob's Bailers, Blue Tide, James O'Connor and Roots, Stems & Roses. The Silver Bullets and Freckled Hogs finished the first week unde­ feated at 2-0, followed with a tie for second between James O'Connor and Roots, Stems & Roses at 1-1. In the cellar at 0-2 were Bob's Bailers and The Blue Tide. The men's Pro 6-foot and under "D" division competed last week with eight teams. Half of them finished undefeated for the first week at 1-0: No Names, T-Town, Cash and Flossin', while the Hoopsters, Red Tide, Who's your Daddy and The Gym failed to get a win in their only game of the week. Earlier this week, in the 6-foot and under division, rivalries began with The Gym facing T-Town, followed by No Names vs. Who's Your Daddy, Red Tide vs. Hoopsters and Cash vs. Flossin' No games were scheduled this week for the men's "A" division. They will resume play Monday, Jan. 27. For more information about the men's "Pro" league or any other intra-N mural sport or activity, call University Recreation at 963-3512. Hawaii: Wildcats stall in the surf against stiff competition by Brett Allen Staff reporter The men's team enjoyed sun, sand, surf and a little hoop last week. The Wildcats were loungin' in Hawaii for a two-game, non-conference road trip. The 'Cats lost to BYU-Hawaii, which is ranked 11th nationally, Thursday night, 89-83. CWU failed to overcome a 19-6 Seasider run in the final seven minutes of the first half. The team also suf­ fered a 32-1 ldisadvantage from the foul line, losing the game by the slim six point margin. Central's effort, although unsuccessful, was impres­ sive. "We played with BYU the whole game," head coach Greg Sparling said. "It proves we can play with a ranked team," The foul situation kept Central's starting center Willie Thomas on the bench for nearly half the contest. Thomas, however, was still able to score 20 points and snatch eight K AUTO BODY Is YOUR BODY OUT OF SHAPE? • Afl technicians are l-CAR trained.

The 'Cats were back in action Sat­ urday against Hawaii Pacific, another tough opponent, but this time without Thomas, who suffered a sprained ankle versus BYU! CWU showed that it has capable talent on the bench. In his first start as a Wildcat, Chris Mosley, a 6-foot- 3 forward, scored 11 points and grabbed 10 Rodmans from the center position. Central fell to Hawaii Pacific 91- 54, but didn't let the rough loss spoil their vacation. The 'Cats let off some steam by snorkeling, playing in the waves, and laying on the beach at Waikiki. "Some of the guys even tried surf­ ing, but that didn't go too well," Sparling said. The Wildcats are back to business this week for another two-game road stint against conference opponents Simon Fraser and St. Martin's. After playing 13 of 16 games away, the 'Cats are tired of the road. "They're not too fired up about it," Sparling said, referring to the long road schedule. CWU opened its conference sea­ son with an 88-73 win over Simon Fraser in Ellensburg, but aren't look­ ing past them. "They'll be a lot tougher at home," Sparling said. The squad travels tb St. Martin's, which is 2-0 in conference play and 4- 10 overall, Saturday. The 'Cats, who are 2-0 in the conference, aren't ,tak-. ing the Saints lightly, either. "We fear them as much as any team in the conference," Sparling said. The road-weary 'Cats are looking forward to playing in Ellensburg. "I told them, '.After this, we're pretty much at home for the rest of the way,' and their eyes lit up," Sparling said.

Observer HOOPS: Women drop two Thursday, January 23,1997 Page II From page 9 half, the Vikings led 39-32 and were building off the momentum generated when a Western player was fouled while attempting a three-point shot. Roberts came through for the 'Cats sinking a shot from three-point land to keep within reach of the Vikings.- Feeling a bit nervous, the Vikings put things into high gear scoring six more points. Coker hit the last shot of shots. She missed both. tempting a three-pointer, and at the same time a technical foul was called on K.C, Mattingly of We&tecn,fior talking trash. Down by seven with 16 seconds left in the game, the 'Cats could have brought the game within two by hit­ ting all five free throws, however, Gosselin only hit two of her three free throws and Katzer went with Newman to shoot the technical foul the half as the final minutes ticked away with Western leading 51-44. After the half, both teams came out just as they had started. Roberts got Central on the board hitting two of her 13 points on a short jumper that brought the 'Cats within five. After a quick team huddle the 'Cats came to life when Amanda Olsen of Western attempted to deliver two points for the Vikings, but center Molly Mickle sent her shot back post­ age due, blocking the shot. • With a little over a minute remain­ ing, the Vikings played as if the game was in the bag, not utilizing the time on the clock or setting up plays. Western pulled out an 86-80 vic­ tory over the 'Cats and pushed Central's record to 0-2 in conference. "We neyer gave up and that's im­ portant," Roberts said. "Our team played well-rounded ball and I can't say anything bad." The game was much closer than the score indicated as the 'Cats played a great game, however, fatigue from a late game at Lewis-Clark, and no re­ covery time, may. have cheated the 'Cats out of an upset over the seventh- ranked Vikings.

This invitational is the last qualifying meet of the regular season which brings wrestlers from all over for one last shot at a national berth. "This is a pretty good tour­ nament," Pine said. "We're ex­ pecting about 180 wrestlers." Approximately 17 schools or wrestling clubs will be rep­ resented at the invitational, and the competition can really get fierce. "This is going to be a tough tournament," Feist said. "It's going to be a battle!" POWER: Durand attention to lifting From page 9 ranking system is based on amount of weight lifted proportionate to bodyweiglit. Gym co-owner Israel Valdez likens Durand's training methods to a religion. "When he trains, Mike is in a totally different world," Valdez said. "Mike is the strongest man I've ever seen, and the frightening thing is that he is continuing to get stron­ ger." Durand's outlook on the sport is bleak in some respects due to the many emerging governing bodies that are taking the top competitors and dividing them among some 10 or more federations. "The credibility of the sport is definitely going down," Durand said. "Ten years ago there was only one national champ per weight class, and today because of the amount of federations there are now twelve." Durand's advice to beginning lifters is to not try and be like Anthony Clarke the first couple visits to the gym. Clarke, a friend of Durand's and a powerlifting legend, recorded a 1,030-pound squat, an 800-pound dead lift, and a world record 780-pound bench. "Work on technique first, build a good foundation of strength, and take it real slow," Durand said. "Don't sacrifice technique just to put more weight on the bar." i I i I i I i I i i I i I I I i I i I I $2.5 Billion privately held company with annual growth of 20% over the past 10 years is seeking profes­ sional, career-oriented individuals to join our management team.
