If that happens, the $40 student health and counseling fee will have to stretch a little further. On Dec. 31,1996, President Ivory Nelson asked all university depart­ ments to prepare for either a 5 percent budget cut or a 0 percent increase in y the state legislatures soon-to-be-re- leased budget. Abdul Nasser, vice president of business and financial affairs, said the university will not know which sce­ nario to prepare for until the state leg­ islator passes the final budget. Locke has asked that the cuts not effect non- instructional items.

Player of the year leads team in 8- point win by Brett Allen Staff reporter The men's team used all of the weapons in its arsenal Tues­ day night in Nicholson Pavilion to win the PNWAC tournament, and advance to the national tour­ nament in Tulsa, Okla. The 'Cats ended Simon Eraser's season with an exciting 81-72 victory in front of a rau­ cous, near-capacity crowd. The Wildcats began their quest for the national title last Saturday night in Nicholson against St. Martin's. Great bench play helped the 'Cats to a 79-65 victory, and a trip to the district championship with Simon Fraser.

"The appre­ ciation of other cul­ tures will enhance students' understand­ ing of glo­ bal issues."

But with funding for the trip from OISP office, Central may broaden Jhe areas of study to in­ clude Africa.

"We see youth violence more and more," detective Mike Luvera said. "The community may not see it or may not want to see it, but it's there." Around lunchtime on Feb. 11, a fight occurred at Ellensburg High School between two boys. After school, sev­ eral students returned, wielding'sa,wed- off baseball bats, to avenge the victim of the lunchtime attack. School officials and Ellensburg po­ lice said they felt this act was typical "gang-type activity." "Anytime you have two or more people involved in criminal activity, using weapons like they were, it's gang activity," Luvera said. Many disagree. "We have here a group mentality, not a gang mentality," Dolores Cleary, sociology professor with a specializa­ tion in criminology, said. Cleary said she thinks the police are overreacting and creating a problem where one doesn't exist. "The police have tried to say for a long time that there is a gang problem and there's just not," Cleary said. "This is not an urban area with a lot of tru­ ancy." Some local youths said the heart of the problem is a lack of things to do around Ellensburg. They said if younger comunity.members had more •to do/,'gang activity" would probably lessen'..' "For aidt of .them, if you have noth­ ing to fill your time, you start filling it with whatever's there, and the less stuff there is to do, the more you make some­ thing to do, and it's not always some­ thing good," Jeremy Phillips.

BUDGET: Health Center may pick up the slack From Page 1 know what the legislature is going to do to us," Nasser said. On Feb. 20 Jack Baker, interim director of the student health and counseling center, met with the ASCWU Board of Directors and said he was worried about possible cuts in the Student Affairs division. He said those cuts could include DAPPER and the Women's Re­ source Center. If either or both departments were subjected to cuts, Baker said it could mean the Student Health and Counseling Center may have to take over those services. During the meeting, BOD Presi­ dent Adam Eldridge said he couldn't support cuts to the women's center or DAPPER be­ cause he considered them vital to students. Eldridge added he felt there were other places with bigger budgets that could absorb the. cuts such as athletics and the vice presi­ dent of student affairs office oper­ ating budget. Mark Dettner, interim director of the DAPPER program, said he doesn't think the student health cen­ ter could handle the increased traf­ fic if DAPPER was cut. 'They have.a two week wait to get in to see a counselor," Dettner said. "That's an area that needs more support — hot an area that needs to take on more of a workload." The state does not mandate that there be a program named DAPPER on campus, but Central is required by Washington to offer drug prevention, counseling and education to students. "Alcohol abuse is the number one reason why students don't graduate on this campus," Dettner said, "and cut­ ting the DAPPER program doesni't. make a lot of sense to me." Baker said if either DAPPER or the women's center was cut by Student Affairs, the health center would have to pick up the slack — stretching a depleted health center budget even more. "Both DAPPER and the Women's Resource Center have very similar kinds of issues that the Student Health and Counseling Center tend to ad­ dress," Sarah Shumate, vice president of Student Affairs, said concerning Baker' s^omments. "If the health center wanted to add additional services it would have to be covered by the Fee," Shumate said. Baker said he wasn't originally worried about the cuts because the stu­ dent health center is not state funded, but instead, derives its revenue from a quarterly $40 fee assessed to students. He agrees with Dettner the counseling and medical portions of his department are already operating at full capacity. "The waiting list at the counseling center is alwajS-ftill andithen,by~9:30 a.m. the nieadicat side-is Tull,* Baker said. "The demand for services is not going down." Baker added that starting nexL*. year he hopes to implement a yearly cost of living increase to the $40 fee. "We will provide as much ser­ vice as the students are willing to tax themselves for," Baker said, "I have a feeling there is more want than the dollars provide for." Lee Williamson, director of the women's resource center, said she didn't feel the missions of the women's center and the student health center were inter­ changeable. Williamson said she felt the health and counseling center was created to cure the sick — not to serve as a women's center, add­ ing, "being a woman by nature, of being a woman, does not make you sick." Williamson said the women's center does some crisis counsel­ ing — "but that is incidental, women come here because they are comfortable here and see this place as a refuge." "You can't replace the Women's Resource Center with a health and counseling center," she added. Baker said he wasn't sure how the budget scenario would play out in the end. • ."Maybe-I won't- even get to, make a decision," Baker said. "Maybe it will just get dumped on me." t cram to celebr RAINIER cans cans #2 WyH Si* ^ /"?/ '/ ' p/ /, ONLY 1 WEEK 'TIL SPRING BREAK! Spring Break .Countdown Special! Offer good through April 7.

YOUTH: Behavior puzzles police gFrom Page 1 County Youth Services, said Many students find things to do on Central's campus for lade of a better place to go. ^ "We're always up here (on campus) at the games room to play pool," ar EHS sophomore said. "We play pool, like, eveiy day." Stan Bassett, city council member and director of Kittitas County Youth Ser­ vices, said that there's no cause and ef­ fect relationship between the lack of stimulation for local youth and the prob­ lem of youth delinquency. "What they don't understand is that just because they have a nightclub or something, that's not goingto change the ^ behaviors that the adults and the police department are trying to change," Bassett said. "It's not going to change the shop­ lifting. It's not going to change the intimi­ dation. It's not going to change the car vandalism." Luvera agreed that providing activi- ® ties for young people is not going to stop the rise in youth-related criminal activity, but he doesn't claim to have the solution. "If we had the answer, we would patent that answer and sell it " Luvera said. % Some students and community mem­ bers agree with Ellensburg Police's view of the situation and believe there is a developing gang problem in Ellensburg. "There's definitely a problem, not a big problem, but it's a rising prob­ lem," another EHS sophomore said. Several incidents of youth violence have occurred recently, including an assault on Feb. 19, when a man was attacked by four young men who alleg- —«— If we had the answer, we would patent that answer -Mike Luvera edly flashed "gang signs" and Feb. 23 when a Central student was assaulted by a group of five or six young men. "Ellensburg's getting worse," the second EHS sophomore said. "People don't know. I got a gun pulled on me in Ellensburg the other day... some guy came up in a red car and asked me if I'd seen two kids on a mountain bike, and I said 'Yeah, they went that way.' Then he asked me why I was wearing all blue, and he said 'Good thing I ain't a Blood,' and he pulled out a 9mm and put it to [my friend's] chest, then he pointed it towards me and drove off." The two EHS students did not report the incident to the police. At a meeting addressing gang issues the day after the fights at the high school, parents and community mem­ bers expressed concern about gang ac­ tivity. "We have to get this community back before they take over," Tonette Crandall, local mother, said. Phillips said he thinks the gang men­ tality being exhibited by local youth is far more dangerous than actual gangs. "Unorganized gangs are a lot scarier than organized gangs," Phillips said, "because a bijg gang like the Bloods or Crips, they tend to stick to their own problems. They don't have to prove themselves, because they've already done it But the kids that are around here are trying to prove themselves, and it's not just to the other people in rival gangs, it's to everybody." Cleary agreed that the violent activ­ ity is stemming from local kids trying tpiimitate gang members, rather than gangs actually being a local presence. : "They do what they think gangs do instead of what they really do," Cleary said. "So, in some ways, it can escalate into something much worse." -David Dick contributed to this ar­ ticle tion and post-colonization." Those issues, Hedrick said, are im­ portant to study because Africa is key to understanding American culture - particularly the African-American heri­ tage. The OISP, with the help of Osman Alawiye, director of curriculum and supervision and a native of Ghana, has been exploring possible cooperation for several years, said Hedrick. Five faculty members and two administrators went to Ghana on a 12-day familiarization tour last summer. In the summer delegation was Bobby Cummings, an English profes­ sor, who was instrumental in laying the foundation for a writing exchange project between teachers in Central # STUDENTS Relieve your finals Anxiety at the S NEWPJ DWELLS Washington school districts and teach­ ers in Accra Academy. Cummings said the project would be funded by the OISP to train teachers in the Central Washing­ ton school district to be workshop re­ sources for their counterparts in Accra. "We want teachers from our district to interact with teachers in Accra on content areas like writing," Cummings said. "After that, teachers in Accra can begin their own writing projects when they go back to their classrooms." Cummings said she is very optimis­ tic about the success of the program and may be visiting Ghana for the second time in August. "We are also going to learn the cul­ ture, history and language of Ghanaians in exchange for what we offer them," Cummings said. "We want (the idea of) the global village to become a real­ ity."

Page 4 Thursday, March 13,1997 Observer While the 'Cats are away... Two days ago, the athletic department announced the demise of men's soccer. Next week, student and faculty committees will make recommendations regarding additional team sport cuts. It seems odd that these recommendations, crucial to the future of athletics at Central, are made at the begin­ ning of spring break, when most students are not on campus to.respond to the proposed cuts. Last summer, while most of us were away from Ellensburg, the Ellensburg City Council held public forums on the implementation of residential parking zones. The RPZ ordinance went into effect about the same time students were returning. It was a done deal, and students had little to say about it. A couple of years ago, students protested the decision to remodel President Ivory Nelson's house. The costs associated with the plan seemed inappropriate in a time of fiscal belt tightening. The high-cost remodeling project was broken down into smaller jobs and approved during the summer after students were gone. The timing may be coincidence or intentional, but at the very least it shows a lack of sensitivity to student voices and concerns. We, as students, need to be proactive rather than reactive, and get involved earlier in the decision-making process. If we are, then administrators and appointed committees can't surprise us with their "school's out" decisions: • \ ~ .. —Michael Bellamy Observer The campus news source, Editor-in-Chief: William Baldyga News Editor: Aimee Peterson Sports Editor: Jeff Foster Copy Editor: Denise Day Events Editor: Jeremiah Donier Ad Rep.: Rob Kauder Office Asst: Jodi Blanksma serving Central since 1927" Adviser: Lo.is Breedlove Scene Editor: Lydia West Photo Editor: Dave Dick Online Editor: Jason Gordon Production Mgr: Amy Pickering Ad Rep: Brian McCall Business Mgr: Christine Page The Observer is a laboratory newspaper produced by students in conjunction with the school's communication department.

For upperclassmen it is the recurring phe­ nomenon each term of facing what seem like exorbitantly high prices for new and used textbooks. In either case, the reality of spending an average of $200 to $300 per quarter on textbooks is indeed sobering, and has raised many questions amongst not only stu­ dents and their parents, but also amongst bookstores themselves, as well as the publishers and distributors which provide new and used textbooks to institutions of higher education. Are textbooks really more expen­ sive proportionally than they were twenty-five, fifteen, five years ago, when judged against the value of the dollar at these points in time? If we look back at just the period from 1992 until now, studies have clearly demon­ strated that thfe» increased costs that publishers charge bookstores for text­ books has exceeded the rate of infla­ tion. Though there are many reasons for this, in simple terms, yes, students are paying more than they did for text­ books 5 years ago after the inflation index is calculated. : Are there any simple solutions or' anticipated, reversals to this trend? . Probably not, but two decisions made by the University Store management in the fall of 1996 will provide some relief: 1. Offering a new service called Custom Publishing (the topic for a future article). 2. Discounting of new and used textbooks. Beginning December 1, 1996, The University Store began of­ fering at the cash register a discount of 5 percent off the shelf price on all New and Used Textbooks. How much will this save the average student? Ap­ proximately $ 10 to $ 15 per quarter, or $30 to $40 per year. Perhaps not sub­ stantial in and of itself, but these sav­ ings, combined with the potentially far greater savings to students now pos­ sible from our Custom Publishing ser­ vice are efforts on the part of the Bookstore management to provide some relief from the high cost of course materials while simultaneously LETTER WRITERS: / V All letters must be submitted by 3 p.m. Friday before the week of publication date.

Come ^ on now, who are you trying to fool? This is not just any opinion, this is an opinion of hate. There's no other word for it. And have I ever once com­ plained about having to take American History, World Civilization, and U.S. History to graduate sit in those history classes five hours a week for two or three years, and learn about the pil­ grims, Columbus, the Europeans, and let's not forget George Washington? What did he do for me? No, I have never once complained. . Why? Because that's more knowledge for me, and like you said, "we want to live in a free and equally color-blind society." So what the hell are blacks doing? They're not bitching, if they are, it's the fact that Black History Month is not Black History Year. The minorities want to be treated equal, yes, but are you willing to put your shit aside and treat them equal? You also say that you never owned a slave in your life, nobody said you did, but hey listen, try checking your family tree, I wouldn't be surprised if someone in your family did. So other cultures have had it much worse, huh? How would you know, you won't even take the time to see what our history has to offer. Obviously, because you had the nerve to write that letter the way you did. So if us liberal thinking idiots would just shut our mouths, maybe, just maybe, we won't see re­ sistance, right? WRONG! You're telling me to think about it, Mr. employee, secretary, ground per­ son, or should I say "normal people," whomever you claim to represent. We African-Americans have worked too hard to get to where we're at and we are proud of who we've become. We look up to,ojur past, present,.aji$ future leaders, and will and always will ac­ knowledge the one month out of twelve months, "Black History Month." I'm asking you, the "normal per­ son," to open your eyes and hear me, don't just listen. Hear what I have to say. You stated your opinion, now I'm stating mine. So we're equal right? This is not a racist letter, this is some knowledge being given to you grasp it and hold on to it. In conclusion, you say you don't discriminate against color, so read this letter and try, just try to pretend that the person who wrote this is not black. . .but white. How do you feel now? Think about that for a while. Carmen Lehman Ed major feels paper was wrong To the Editor: Over the last couple of weeks there has been an uproar over an unsigned letter regarding Black History Month. Students and staff have spoken out and expressed their disdain for the views expressed in this letter. Some have even said that they feel endangered by "the implied threats by the authors of this letter. I, personally, don't agree with the opinions of those unnamed students who composed the aforementioned letter. But, by the same token, I believe that it was reckless irresponsibility for the staff of the Observer to print an unsigned editorial. There are reasons for the intact policies against the pub­ lication of such letters. Those "un­ named ones" behind the "letter" got exactly what they wanted from the Observer: A lot of fear and hate on our campus. I feel very strongly that those who decided to print this letter are al­ most as much to blame for the fear on our campus as those who wrote it. After all, but for the Observer printing the letter no one would have known about it. Further more, If no one knew about it then they wouldn't fear for their safety. To go even further, no one really needed to know about it. Another point of irresponsibility on the part of the Observer staff is that they only printed part of the letter, for us to read. This smacks of faulty jour­ nalism. After all, there are times when half of the story is worse than no story at all. I encourage the staff of the Ob­ server to, in the future, keep letters like this out of an otherwise good periodi­ cal. Also, if they receive letters of this type in the future I would cncourage them to shred them, burn them, or flush them. Just don't print them. With all due respect, Lee Kessler Education Major EDITORS NOTE: Running excerpts of the letter in an editorial was not only an editorial de­ cision by the paper, but by the entire staff to answer a letter in the Obser­ vance. The Observance is an edito­ rial, not a letter, but a piece for the members of the paper staff to voice their opinions and thoughts on a sub­ ject. Observer staff names were used in the editorial to create a signed edi­ torial.

By taking the Safe Spring Break Pledge, students promise not to drink and drive, not let their friends drink and drive or ride with an im­ paired driver. Students who take the pledge become eligible to win a free 1997 automobile. The win­ ner will be chosen from the pledge cards sent in by students nation­ wide. "I would take the pledge be­ cause I don't drink and drive in any way shape or form," senior Jeff Davis said. "I think it is important for students to think about it before they take off for break." Students can take the pledge this week outside the DAPPER office located in SUB 106. The winner of the 1997 automobile will be an­ nounced the first week of May 1997.

Kandice Beedle, 15, and Alexander McCrary. 11, are both Ellensburg youths suffer­ ing from cancer. They are currently undergoing treatment at Children's Hospital in Seattle, and as anyone can imagine, treatment costs thousands of dollars that most people don't have. In an effort to support the families financially and emotionally, the Ellensburg community is pulling to­ gether. On Saturday. March 15. Ooh- Vations hair salon is hosting the Beedlc-McCrary Hair Cut-A-Thon. For one day, 12 salons in town are coming together and offering their hair-cutting expertise to raise money for the Beedle-McCrary relief fund. Hair cuts will be given for a $10 minimum donation which is a fraction of what a hair cut in Ellensburg nor­ mally costs. All proceeds from this event will go to the relief fund. "It's a good deal for Central stu­ dents," Karolyn Marchel, owner oi Nations, said. "They get a good a good price and at the same ently in children than in adults. Children usually have a more advanced stage of cancer when first diagnosed. Only 20 percent of adults with cancer show evidence that the disease has spread at the time of diagno­ sis, while 80 percent of children show can­ cer has spread to dis­ tant sites of the body at the time of diagno­ sis.

The National Childhood Cancer Foundation says that one in 330 children in the United Stales will get cancer before the age of 19. and the number is increasing. According to the NCCF. most adult cancers result from lifestyle factors such as smoking, diet, occupation and exposure to cancer-causing agents. The average age children are diag­ nosed with cancer is six and the causes of most childhood cancers are un­ known. One reason cancer is so difficult to understand is that it behaves differ- of Ooh-Vations, are the women behind this effort to help fellow members of the Ellensburg community. They are definitely ex­ cited, happy and more than willing to host the fund raiser. "I'm excited about the response [from the community]," Marchel said. "My heart feels good to be able to help these families. I pray for them every day." Participating salons are Hair West, Mane Attraction, The Inn Salon (up and coming), Hair Productions, Salon Raz, Salon Fenix, Band Box Beauty Salon, Artistry of Eileen's, Hair by Roseanne, Windy City Chat and Curl and Cutting Edge. Hair cuts will be given on a walk- in basis only. However, if you don't have time to stay to get your hair cut, you may sim­ ply drop off your donation at Ooh- Vations at 404 N. Anderson. All salons will be cutting at the Ooh-Vations location. Ellensburg's KQBE radio station will be broadcasting live and giving away CD's, movie tickets, ski passes and KQBE coupon books. "We want to help promote this as much as possible," Jack Kelleher, gen? eral manager and DJ at KQBE, said. "It should be a lotof fun and we'll be there to make people want to come down." Kelleher also said there will be hula hoop contests and other events to make it a fun day at Ooh-Vations. "Students need to be part of the community, too," Boswell said. "They need to help these kids and show they care."
Observer Thursday, March 13,1997 Page 7 Prof goes to Italy by Erin O'Connor Staff reporter The European Renais­ sance was a time of great en- lighten- ment, when people broadened Vince Torano their horizons in many fields, most notably the fine arts. It was in Italian cities like Genoa, Venice and Florence that artists Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci left their mark on canvas and the ceil­ ing of the Sistine Chapel. Now, Central art professor Vince Torano is getting the once-in-a-life- time opportunity to travel to Italy to study in the land of those masters. Torano, who came to Central dur­ ing winter quarter of 1996, recently won a prestigious Fulbright Scholar­ ship. "I was very surprised when I heard I had won," Torano said. The award is worth about 18 mil­ lion lira, or about $10,558. Torano is going to use the award to spend five months in Italy researching art and doing some personal drawing and painting. He chose Italy because of his an­ cestral background, and because he thought he would connect better with Italian culture. "I hope to be inspired for future paintings," Torano said. Even though he won the, scholar­ ship and chose Italy as his country of study, he still had to get final approval from Italy before he can go. "I had to show them how they were going tp benefit by me coming there," Torano said. Torano received approval and plans to leave on April 1. While in Italy, he will spend three months in Florence and two in Rome. He will be producing some new work to exhibit as well as learning Some teaching tools to bring back to his Central •students. Torano plans to bring back slides of work from young contemporary Italian artists to share with his stu­ dents. He also hopes to make future con­ tacts in Italy so Central students may have the opportunity to go to Italy as well., Torano thinks his paintings are probably what made him stand out from the other applicants. He specializes in figurative paint­ ing which incorporates human figures and cultural constructions. Each painting takes approximately one year to complete. He usually shows his artwork in small museums. Torano doesn't see himself as an artist first. He feels teaching and his artwork are inseparable. "They inform each other," Torano said. "I learn from my students and I learn from my paintings." Torano is planning to receive more than one award on April 1. He and his wife are expecting their third baby on the same day, and plans to join him in Italy in July.

SCM's new album, released Feb. 25, Moonbathing On Sleep­ ing leaves, was played in its en­ tirety along with other classics from A Return to the Inner Expe­ rience and This Timeless Turning. For those who haven't listened to SkyCries Marybefore,their music is a hard sound to pin down because it,incorporates a wide va- rietyof influences* , These influences include rock, techno, ambient, retro-psyche- delic, and smatterings of gothic and industrial all fused into a dis- , tirict musical style which eludes an easy description. Roderick Romero describes with Ben Ireland (drummer), Gordon Raphael (keyboards), and Todd Robbins (disc jockey) joined the new lineup, they released a second BP in 1991, Exit At the Axis. In subsequent years, the band has released two more mainstream albums in A Return to the Inner Experience, and This Timeless Turning. Sky Cries Mary has one of the most incredible and innovative light and vi­ sual shows around. Throughout their concert, pictures of various visual art pieces are pro­ jected on walls that surround the band. Sky Cries Mary also added a feature that I have never seen before from witti Anisa Romero m^et at the campus of the University of Wash- After losing two of the origi­ nal lineup to the Posies, the cre­ ative chemistry of Sky Cries Mary : began to take shape. Anisa, along During the show, two women dressed in golden bathing suits cov­ ered in gold paint and glitter, sat on ei­ ther side of the stage. Before each new song began they would each assume a different posi­ tion and remain in a mannequin state for the duration of that song. This was aweird but interesting effect. : Let there be no mistake, Sky Cries Mary is more than just a concert. It is an experience. It is: almost like a dream you don't want to end. ] Anisa Romero's haunting and soothing vocals almost lulled the au- . dience into a hypnotic state. The new album contains very traditional Sky Cries Mary tunes or "space rock," but also tunes with both a pop appeal and more up-tempo rock as well. Watching the creative partner­ ship of Roderick and Anisa is al­ most poetry. These two, married in 1993, seemed to really have a con­ nection both vocally and cre­ atively. Throughout the concert each took their turn at wooing the crowd. Hie duets between these two were simply incredible as they pounded out times such as "Breath In" and "Moonbathing." The surreal mythology of"The Headless Man5' and the vast, inter­ stellar starscapes of "Gliding", take Moonbathing On Sleeping Leaves listeners onto a fully-real­ ized, finely-detailed and fantasti­ cally-appointed ride into a new and wondrous musical world. This new album definitely ' should bring Sky Cries Mary some critical acclaim. Sky Cries Mary takes each in­ dividual on their own introspective ride almost leaving one numb from the experience. If one has the op- portunityto seeSky CriesMaryas they tour in support of this new al­ bum, I highly recommendseeing If one doesn't get thisprivilege, then check out the new CD, it re­ ally is a innovative work.

Scene Editor William Shakespeare wrote some of the best tragedies and comedies performed in the theatre. The Comedy of Errors is not one of them. The Comedy of Errors is the story of a family with two sets of twins. Antipholus of Syracuse and Antipholus.of Ephesus are the older twins and Dromio of Syracuse and Dromio of Ephesus are the younger twins. In a freak accident at sea, the boat is split in two, taking the father, Antipholus of Syracuse and Dromio of Syracuse in one direction and the mother, Antipholus of Ephesus and Dromio of Ephesus in the other direc­ tion. After several years the Syracuse brothers go off in search of their kin. While in a town, the brothers from Syracuse are often mistaken as the brothers from Ephesus. The play's plot was unbelievable.

To be honest, it re­ minded me of Groundhog's Day. The first 30 minutes were okay, but after that I was ready to die from boredom. The cast was a big part of the over­ all bad performance. Only Dromio of Syracuse, played by Keith Edie, and Antipholus of Ephesus, played by Ryan Horner, were entertaining. The rest of the cast acted like they weren't having fun with their roles and several recited lines as if they were robots. Edie was amazing, performing ac­ robatic feats across the stage. Horner was also fabulous at playing an angry Antipholus. These two actors added a lot to the otherwise mediocre performance. There were two scenes I actually enjoyed in the play, both the fight scenes. James Austin, who plays Antipholus of Syracuse, and Edie fence and fight with staves against two officers, they did a great job of mak­ ing the scene seem realistic. Austin and Jason Montgomery, who plays Balthazar, did an excellent job in the second fencing scene where they went at it again with swords and daggers. Without the acting ability of Horner and Edie, this play would have been a complete bomb. The Comedy of Errors has good points and bad points, but there aren't enough good points to go and see this performance. , k t t , • i r . r i » t - • • I {ft Jbh joopjnosaijwnuoddo DiuispBDy* fEMf NORWEST FINANCIAL Join Our Management Team As A Manager Trainee (Credit Manager) Looking for opportunity, challenge and variety?

Observer Thursday, March 13,1997 Page 9 mmmmMwmmmam wmmmmim liSBfiliiaiiS i® lis WIN: 'Cats on to Tulsa From Page 1 On a night when the Central start­ ers were cold-handed from the field, Junior reserve guard Eric Davis kept the team warm by burning up the nets from three-point range. The three- point specialist shot 55 percent from the arc, hitting six of Central's nine threes, finishing with 20 points on the night. Davis' effort was no surprise to Central assistant coach Mike Bums. "Eric is a big-game player. The bigger the game, the better he plays," Burns said. In fact, good bench play is not a new concept for the Wildcats. "They've stepped up all year long," Burns said referring to the CWU re­ serves. Senior Chris Mosley, an emotional spark plug off of the bench, gave the 'Cats a boost defensively as well. Mosley was called upon to shut down St. Martin's big men Tracey Thomas and Redd Pepper. He expanded on his role by excit­ ing the already rowdy crowd with his on-court antics. Mosley is known for interacting with the crowd and getting them into the game. After a fast-paced start which in­ cluded a two-hand jam by sophomore Tyce Nasinec, the 'Catsslpwed down. The team went virtually bucket for bucket with St. Martin's throughout the first half, and led 44-40 at the break. The pace was the same for the second half until Central pulled away in the last six minutes, outscoring the Saints 19-5. Nasinec put the exclamation pojnt on the game with another two- handed jam at th$ buzzer. The Wildcats were primed for yet another rematch with tough confer­ ence rival Simon Fraser on Tuesday night. The Clansmen's hopes were dashed by the red-hot shooting of the Wildcats who hit 12 three-pointers. Junior Paul Fraker came to play Tuesday," sihking four tieyVaftti' ' snatching a team-leading nine Rodmans. Fraker finished with 20 points, and sophomore Tyce Nasinec hit four three's and finished with 18 points on the evening. Senior Willie Thomas' chipped in a game-high 23 points which included two high fly- ,, ing dunks that brought the crowd to its feet. 'Central jumped on the Clansmen eai ly, leading by as much as 17 in the first half. Nasinec and Fraker both had 13 points in the opening period, helping the 'Cats to a 45-29 halftime leatl. Central continued to pick apart .the Simon Fraser defense in the sec* ond half, extending their lead to 19 WM& .y«—vv. • ^ mm . Todd Nealey soars past Simon Fraser as the 'Cats make at one point. But the Clansmen weren't going out without a fight, they scrapped their way back to within one after a 15-3 run. Central went 10 of 13 from the pen­ alty stripe in the last 1:43, to run away with the victory and the PNWAC championship. Senior Todd Nealey, who is a calm character when it comes to foul shooting, led the 'Cats with eight-10 from the line. The Wildcats never believed the ne ative hype about them. "No one eve gave our guys the credit they de­ serve," assistant coach Mike Burns said. "On paper we don't look as good as other teams, but one intangible we have is our heart. We know that if it comes down to a scrap at the end we have the heart to come out on top," Hundreds of loyal Wildcat fans stayed after the game to share? the glory it to nationals. with the team. "I've been behind them all year, I feel like I should be going to Tulsa right along with them," fan Mike Wells said. The 'Cats made it official by cut­ ting down the net amidst television cameras, fans, and family. The team will play in the first round of the national tournament on Tuesday, March 18, in Tuisa. by John Fazio said the program is not on the rise. Still others have gone so far as to call them mediocre, but the doubters wrong this season, put of Central's ten national qualifiers, the Wildcats returned from the NAIA National Wrestling Championships last Saturday with a total of six All-Americans. The 'Cats had five All-Americans in 1991,1994, and 1995, but the six they earned this year was the most in the program's 37-year history. Central finished seventh overall out of the 22 teajns on hand. Junior 126-pounder Leighton Smiley finished second and scored All-American honors for the third consecu­ tive season. Smiley fell just seconds short of completing a takedown that would have forced overtime in his final match and walked away with a 5-3 defeat. *1 went there to get first, and it didn't happen," Smiley said. "I guess I'm a little disappointed! I was pretty pumped up going into the final match. I really don't know what happened. He just wrestled better than me on that day." Smiley said he was considering|hangiijg up his wres- . tling gear if he won the title this season, instead he is ex- ' four-time All-American wrestler the school has ever seen. - Junior Steve Gusse turned some heads with his impres­ sive fourth-place finish at 158. He grabbed a first-round bye and battled his way to his first All-American honor. Gusse defeated the number three seed in a crucial quarterfinal bout. I "Steve wrestled a great match," head coach Kevin Pine said. "He took control of the match from the beginning and just dominated." 'V "I really expected to be an Ail-American," Gusse said. "I knew if I stepped it up at the national tournament, I could do well. I knew I could compete at the national level." Also at the 158-pound weight class was sophomore BartOrth. Orth ended the season with a seventh place finish'at ytfdhafs giving him Ail-American accolades. At the 118-pound division, Rich Wheeler took All- American honors finishing sixth with a 3-3 record for the tournament. Freshman 177-pounder Chris Feist also finished sixth going 3-3. With the sixth place finish, Feist became just the second freshman All-American in school history, joining Smiley who did it in 1995. Senior Tim Kitchen ended his wrestling career with an eighth-place finish .and AH-Amencan-honors -at the * . 142-ppundQigjiUlss.s yyv vv W * v The'team's t6p winner, Jeremy Brummett, lost two*, -out'ofthrte jnatchestend was eliminated when he faced" the number one and two seeds back-to-back.

Just two of Central's 10 national qualifiers will not be returning for the '97-'98 season sending the team into next year with four returning AWtAmerjcaps. Finalists named by Steve Braeutigam Staff reporter Central Athletic Director Gary Frederick announced last Friday that five men have been selected as final­ ists to become the next Wildcat head football coach. Four finalists have col­ legiate head coaching experience and the fifth is a former NFL player. The finalists are former Eastern Or­ egon State College head coach Orson Christensen Vic Wallace, head coach of Lambuth University in Jackson, Tenn. Tom Shea, University of Mary (N.D.) head coach Tom Hosier, head coach at Winona State in Minnesota and former New England Patriot line­ backer John Zamberlin, an assistant at the University of Richmond. "This is an exemplary list of coaches," Frederick said. "Whomever we select gives us one of the top coaches at our level in the country." The coaching candidates began in­ terviewing with the search committee this week and will continue interview­ ing through next week. Zamberlin was interviewed last Monday, fol­ lowed by Hosier on Wednesday, while Shea will be at Central on Friday. Wallace will arrive on Monday, March 17 and Christensen will follow on Wednesday, March 19. All coaching finalists will be avail­ able to meet students, faculty and staff between 10 a.m. and noon in room 116 at Nicholson Pavilion. Frederick hopes to have a decision made no later than March 20. Soccer gets the boot by Jeff Foster Sports editor „• ,r... ». \ -y In an attempt to solve problems within the program, Central has dropped soccer from its list of intercol­ legiate sports.' • ' • i • - • Three factors' spawned this deci­ sion, athletic director Gary Frederick said. First of dll there is rio coach. ' Interim coach Larry Foster doubles as the women's coach, and there was no money available for an assistant. Second was the problem of recruit­ ing. With no coach and the uncer­ tainty of the program it would be very difficult to bring in the athletes. The final concern was financial. Since UPS and Seattle U will be mov­ ing into the NCAA division HI, North­ west Conference Central will have to travel a lot more. Trips to California were needed in order to play a full schedule and the amount of money for the program wouldn't cover the trips. Frederick voiced a concern for players, as. well., . . "At least ten student-athletes-came into _ my. office .to ask permission to speak to other colleges," Frederick said. "The reason for the quick deci­ sion was so the athletes would have an opportunity for a place to play next year." Freshman Tim Burke was shocked to hear the news. "No one expected this to happen," Burke said. "Central is going to lose students and student-athletes." i '
Page 10 Thursday, March 13,1997 Observer Central goes 3-1 at tourney by Jeremy Acree Staff reporter The Central baseball team started out slow, losing two of it's first three game's.' However, the 'Cats rebounded to win the last three games, improving their record to 7-4 on the season. Over the weekend, the Wildcats ventured to Idaho to play in the Albertson/Northwest Nazarene Invita­ tional baseball tournament. Central posted a 3-1 record, the second best mark in the tourney. After a seven-hour bus ride Friday, Central was unable get off to a good start, losing 5-3. The 'Cats were held to only five hits and didn't score a run until the eight inning. Cobb failed to get a hit in the ball game, ending his seven game hitting streak. After a good night's sleep, Central put eight runs on the board in a win against George Fox University, in­ cluding a solo home run by Andy Hinson. Five of Central's eight hits went for extra bases. Central was able to build an eight run lead heading into the ninth due to the pitching of Jason Morrow. Morrow pitched a five-hit shutout*through eight irinltlgs*.'It' looked as though the 'Cats were going to blow out GFU. However, the bullpen faltered in the ninth, nearly blowing the lead. Central used three pitchers in the ninth, including Sunday's starter Mark Stewart, who came in to get the final out, earning his first save of the year. Later that night, Central played Pacific University, winning 6-3. Cen­ tral took the lead in the fourth and never looked back.

Scott Earle came in to retire the final six batters on his way to his second save of the year:'" Led by Dave Blocklinger's four RBI's, Central was able to defeat Whitworth 9-6. After falling behind 5-1 in the bottom of the second inning, Earle was called upon for the third time in as many games to come in and shut Whitworth down. From that point on it was a pitcher's duel between Earle and ex- Central pitcher Jason Tracy. The two pitchers battled it out until the 10th inning when Chris Peck drove in a run with a RBI single off of Tracy. Earle finished off Whitworth in the bottom of the 10th for his second victory of the year.

THE CITY OF ELLENSBURC IS AN AFFIRMATIVE ACTION/EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER Women lose in playoffs by September Woods Staff reporter The women's basketball team dug deep to find a strategy to keep Seattle U. from winning the first round of the playoffs but came up short, finishing the season fifth in the Pacific North­ west Athletic Conference. "I'm proud of this team and the reputation they've achieved for bas­ ketball at Central," head coach Nancy Katzer said. "I've received two phone call's aftfl 'nlifrierous letters' aittotif fh'e" team." The 'Cats played in the first round of PNWAC playoffs last Wednesday, losing by only 10 and being pushed out of round two. "Everyone was disappointed with the loss," Katzer said. "We accom­ plished our game plan by keeping Julie Orth's numbers down." The 'Cats were successful in hold­ ing the PNWAC lead scorer to 12 points, by playing forward Jill Willis on a man defense against Ortti. "Willis frustrated Orth a lot," Katzer said. "Jill was very physical with her." The Wildcats outscored Seattle, 13-2, late in the first half and pulled within three points. The 'Cats ended the half, down 35- 27. "The team did really well against Seattle U.," Willis said. "We all did good in shutting them down." The Wildcats came back from half- time pumped up and outscoring Se­ attle 15-7. Team captain Carrie Gosselin scored seven points during that stretch and helped pull the 'Cats up to a 42 point tie with the Chieftains. Seattle U. fired up when Stephanie Hodovance hit a 12-footer and a three- pointer for the Chieftains. Leigh- Anne Raschkov hit a three-pointer and ended the game with 19. "The sleepers on the team who av­ erage six points and less, we allowed them to shoot," Katzer said. Gosselin led the 'Cats with 13 points along with Jodi Coker and Molly Mickle, both scoring in the double digits. CUSTOM BLIND CLEANING &MORE (509)925^7669 nUuV.wy MOWfi/G? CHAMGMG APARTMENTS?

The Wildcats will be without Gosselin, Coker and Tiffany Rutter next year. "We're in the middle stages of re­ cruiting," Katzer said about next year.
