Rodolfo Acuna spoke about his concerns on affirmative action to students, faculty and community members. by David Henderson Asst. News editor The elimination of affirmative action could be the beginning of the end for all civil rights laws Rodolfo Acuna, professor of Chicano Studies at California State University at Northridge, warned students in his lecture Thursday night at the SUB. Acuna spoke against Proposition 209, explaining to students his account of why California voters had made a mistake in eliminating affirmative action. The end of affirmative action may come about in this state when Initiative 200, the Washington State Civil Rights Initiative modeled after California, is put before vot­ ers next year. Few issues are debated more intently than affirmative action and although it is a complex issue, it basically has two sides. One side believes that the civil rights laws in our country are not enough to offset discrimination. The other side argues that affirmative action causes segregation or division in our society. The question at the heart of the issue is, should the law give cer­ tain people preferential treatment because of the way they look? Many feel that affirmative action pro­ grams should be discontinued because pref- **The minority group members of the United States aren't vic­ tims. We do them a disservice by treating them like victims. 55 - Rodolfo Acuna erential treatment based on appearance is a form of discrimination. "I'm in favor of Initiative 200," Bob Case, Central philosophy and business pro­ fessor, said. "In allocating funds or hiring someone for a public position, we shouldn't have to deal with race, we should hire peo­ ple based on their qualifications. We are constantly dividing our country into smaller and smaller groups when we make public decisions based on the color of our skin. Discrimination of any kind is immoral and wrong and affirmative action is state spon­ sored discrimination." One of the main points Acuna made was that the educational system in America has become corrupt and minorities are being kept out of higher education by the system through the recent passage of Proposition 187, an anti-immigration act, and Proposition 209. "The university right now is a place that is anti-intellectual and that's anti-ideas," Acuna said. "It should be a place where new knowledge is brought in." He also stressed that civil rights laws in America are becoming more racist by mov­ ing away from affirmative action. "They can't shut us out of the schools," Acuna shouted, "because if they shut us out of the schools, then, you look at fairness, and those schools should burn! Because that's irrational, to condemn people to the outposts of ignorance!" Affirmative action was started in this country to create equal opportunities for every American, regardless of race or color. However, when the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was passed and affirmative action came into being, things were different than they are today. Yet, the past still lingers and racism still exists. See 209/Page 2 Athletic fee arrives under cloud of scrutiny by Brett Allen Asst. News editor The athletic fee that caused so much con­ troversy last spring is appearing on every Central student's bill this fall. "I' think everyone benefits," Shantal Chase, a senior in public relations, said. "We get free admission to the games, and it sup­ ports the athletic department which does bring a lot of money into the school." The new fee was expected to raise $700,000 per year for athletics. That figure was based on last year's average enrollment of 6,618 full-time students. However, due to a drop in enrollment, the fees will produce $670,000 to $680,000 this year. "Enrollment is less than we anticipated and could make a difference of about $20,000 to $23,000," Athletic Director Gary Frederick said. "But believe me, I'm not complaining." Full-time students pay $35 per quarter, while part-time students, those taking nine credits or less, pay $3.50 per credit. The fee is intended to support the athletic department so that it does not have to rely on the Service and Activity Fee Committee (S&A) for funds. Last year, the athletic program received $275,440 from the S&A fund. Thanks to the new fee, that money can be left in the S&A budget for purposes other than athletics. The new fee will support the budgets of all varsity and junior varsity sports at Central. See ATHLETIC FM/Page 17 b
Oct. 16, 1997— News — Observer Campus enrollment ^elow expectations by •' Peggy Choyce Staff reporter Central will receive full legisla­ tive funding thanks to extended degree centers which have picked up the slack for low on-campus enrollment, Registrar Carolyn Wells said. Total enrollment figures are "much better than anticipated," Wells said, "because off-campus centers are booming." Wells said off-campus centers have enabled Central to reach the numbers allotted in the state bud­ get. She said on-campus enrollment figures are down by 100 students, but off-campus centers, such as Wenatchee, Yakima and SeaTac, have experienced an increase. The Higher Education Coordinating Board (HEC), which controls higher education in Washington, gave Central a goal of 7,346 average annual enrollment during the 1997-1998 school year, Jim Pappas, dean of academic ser­ vices, said. "We're down 115 new freshmen from last fall," Wells said. "That's where we're hurting.'' Joseph Antonich, director of financial services, said he is con­ cerned about Central's trend in enrollment. "What happened to the big class of high school students that were supposed to be hitting our doorsteps?" Antonich said. Antonich said state forecasters have been saying state university enrollment numbers are supposed to be going up. "A strong economy usually (dri­ ves) enrollment down," Marc Gaspard, executive director of the HEC board, said. Within the next couple of years, Gaspard predicts enrollment will increase in two- and four-year col­ leges and universities. "The baby boom echo (the post­ war generation's children) will be hitting us," Gaspard said. See NUMBERS/Page 5 mmmm 4±m., Rodolfo Acuna gave one-on- one advice to Central stu­ dents on the elimination of affirmative action. Brandy Langfitt/Observer' 209: Minority population rises From Page 1 Acuna said that in 1960, around 10 percent of the people in Los Angeles were of Hispanic descent. Today, with the popula­ tion of Los Angeles at around 9 million, 41 percent of the inhabi­ tants in the greater Los Angeles area are Hispanic. Proposition 209, which passed by a 54 percent margin in California on Nov. 5, 1996, states "(California) shall not discrimi­ nate against, or grant preferential treatment to, any individual or group on the basis of race, sex, color, ethnicity or national origin in the operation of public employ­ ment, public education or public contracting." The passage of 209 has caused both immediate and lasting effects on the state of California. The new bill prohibits any government institution from implementing an affirmative action program, no matter how much discrimination exists. It has ended all public set aside pro­ grams for minorities and women owned businesses. It has also wiped out the minority scholar­ ships and diversity programs at California State schools. If the anti-affirmative action bill is voted in as it was in California, human beings in the State of Washington will be treat­ ed as equals, according to the law. However, the loss of affirma­ tive action programs may take a toll on women and minorities, especially in cases where they face discrimination.

Observer — News — Oct. 16, 1997 Legislature pressures universities to graduate students in less time by David Henderson Asst. News editor Central Washington University may face repercussions if the number of fifth and sixth year students doesn't decline in the future. The Washington State Legislature recently passed the 1997-99 Appropriations Act, which requires all public four-year universities in Washington to get students through school at a faster pace, while still improving the quality of education they are providing. Some students express skepticism towards the new legislation. "I think it's pretty lame that Central's being penalized," senior Adam Nelson, said. "People need to go at their own pace in college and not be rushed through it." Each state university was required to submit an implementation plan to the Higher Education Coordinating Board which included end-of-the-year perfor­ mance goals and strategies for attaining those goals. Three of the performance targets were set by the state legislature, while " universities: . According to the new bill, all of the universities in Washington are expected to improve their student retention rate, the proportion of students who continue to be enrolled from one year to the next their five-year graduation rate, the pro­ portion of students who begin as fresh­ man and graduate within, five years and their graduation efficiency index, how efficiently students complete their degrees. The strategies proposed by Central are to improve student graduation effi­ ciency, including better advising for stu- The university will be penalized for students who change their minds about their major. 5 j ~ Martha Lindley dents, improve coordination of course offerings, identify hidden prerequisites, and make classes in high demand more available. A study will also be conducted on student retention rates to find out who's dropping out and identify which areas need correction. "The university is going to have to do everything possible to find out what the incoming freshmen's academic goals are," Martha Lindley, director of govern­ mental and corporate relations, said. "The university will be penalized for stu­ dents who change their minds about their major" . "Students with more than 135 credits will be given intensive advising to help them along on their major and move them through more efficiently," Cpnnie Roberts, director of assessment, said. Central, after having its plan approved by the HEC Board, was allo­ cated $269,000 for the 1997-98 year. Another $403,000 has been set aside by the legislature for the 1998-99 year. Under the new law, Central is required to meet all of its performance goals this year in order to be awarded the full amount for 1998-99. If Central falls short of one of their performance targets, such as student retention, the university will be penalized. "This is the fist time the legislature has tied specific dollars to university per­ formance," Lindley said. "This isn't just happening in our state, it's happening all over the country. It's a reflection of the same kind of movement that is happen­ ing in K-12 education. Education is becoming outcome based. Central is try­ ing to be accountable. We're trying to say, look, this is what we offer and these are the kind of students we produce." In addition to these statewide goals, Central will also be evaluated on faculty productivity and the services and pro­ grams provided by the university. One of the things being done to improve productivity is the use of stu­ dent learning outcomes, which allow stu­ dents and employers to look at the course curriculum and know exactly what an individual should have learned by the end of the course. Central administrators would also like to increase the amount of full-time faculty involved in extensive research and creative work with undergraduate students. "Our goal is to expand the number of students in undergraduate research and internships so there will be more oppor­ tunities," Roberts said. "The number of faculty has not decreased on our campus," President Ivory Nelson said. "We are trying to. use the faculty we have more efficiently." The Central implementation plan also aims to increase student internships, diversity and services offered,to transfer, students. "There will not be any repercussions for students," President Ivory Nelson . said. "Our intent is not to hurt the stu­ dents at all. It is our intent to move the students through school quicker." laiMMfs nsiBiiii QUEST BOOKS & VIDEO LET THE ADVENTURE BECIN...

|U Oct. 16, 1997— News — Observer New club hopes to inspire tolerance wmmmm by Robyn Bruce Staff reporter A new theme fills Central stu­ dents' ears, as ASCWU vice-presi­ dent of equity and commu­ nity service, Christina Lee welcomes Not In Our School (NIOS) to Central's campus. Sarah Shumate NIOS stands for a nationwide campaign that is better known as Not In Our School. It is a solution-oriented campaign against intolerance and to support diversity education and the celebration of cultures. This theme was originally found­ ed in 1993, offering a potent model for local community response against such extremism and violence as displayed by white supremacists and members of the Ku Klux Klan. This once community campaign, and now nationwide theme, was started by the Institute for Alternative Journalism and The Working Group. With the help of the Public Broadcasting Station and the Internet, NIOS has now migrated to Ellensburg and Central. At a forum held last week in the SUB Pit, Christina Lee introduced NIOS to Central. "It is so we can have a common bond, accept diversity and basically to unite us all together," Lee said. Activities and speeches were pre­ sented during the presentation of NIOS. NIOS submitted a symbol designed as a rainbow with the ini­ tials of their theme. It can be used on posters and fly­ ers for clubs, organizations, commit­ tees, departments and people throughout our campus. Sarah Shumate, the vice-presi­ dent of student affairs, was the main speaker at the forum last week. "Diversity is not just race. Someone who grew up in downtown Seattle is very different and diverse than someone who grew up in Ellensburg," Shumate said. This organization challenges the integrity of Central's students, pro­ fessors and employers. It challenges students to learn, work and accept diverse individuals and respect them. "We have a responsibility to go beyond just accepting diversity," Shumate said. "To accept it and cele­ brate that out of diversity we get strength. Each person needs to make a commitment to challenge and work to eliminate hate in any sector, any interaction or structure that demeans worth and human dignity of others." mmm mmm ***** ttvXv: : '•Xs' 1 11 From left: Dan McDonald assists Kim Payne with jotting down information for an alumni donation while Julie Reeder adds another num­ ber to the tally.

Observer — News — Oct. 1* 1007 fl Health center adds fees by Darcy Steinfeld Staff reporter Starting this quarter, the Student Health and Counseling Center will charge students $5per visit after their first two visits in order to cover rising costs. The Student Health Advisory Committee (SHAC), requested a 4 percent increase in the $40 student health fee, but the ASCWU Board of Directors (BOD) turned them down, Steve Simmons, vice presi­ dent for student life and facilities, said. "The BOD wanted to assess a fee only to those students that used this service," Jack Baker, interim director of the student health and counseling center, said. The BOD and SHAC compro­ mised on the $5 fee instead of the 4 percent increase in the health fee. Jack Baker said a survey of other colleges in Washington found that health fees were between $40 and $60. The Health and Counseling Center is not supported by the state, but by student fees. Due to rising costs of medical supplies and services and a need for more personnel the center requires more money for the pro­ gram to survive. All meeting minutes and a sur­ vey will be published by SHAC to better serve the students in this sit­ uation. SHAC is a committee set up by students who feel that the Health and Counseling Center's major decisions should have student feed back. "We don't want to see this die," Art Krontz, chair of SHAC, said. Krontz said the main goal of SHAC is to provide input to the Health and Counseling Center and to the BOD on what students want. An addition to the Health and Counseling Center this year is a grant from the Washington Traffic Safety Commission. The $20,POO award will be used for a drunk driving prevention pro­ gram. The program will be designed to advocate designated driving. The program will offer van ser­ vice to those students too drunk to drive home from a party or from a local tavern. SHAC and ASCWU-BOD will be co-hosting a student forum dis­ cussing all of the different student fees at 11:30 a.m., Nov. 6, in the SUB Pit. itilif After students have been to the Health Center twice in one term a $5 fee will be assessed for each additional visit. • All nursing • Patient visits • Counseling •Counseling visits which do for lab tests, as Services com­ Services not require long as the puter intake.

Apparently the legislature has decided that college students are tak­ ing far too long to make their way through school and further that 18- year-old students straight out of high school should already have a pretty dear idea of what they want to do with the rest of their lives. The Appropriations Act will provide funds for the universities to make the necessary changes in classes, advising and student retention. Central has received $269,000 for the 1997-98 school year and if the university meets the new standards, it will receive another $403,000 for the 1998-99 school year. If Central fails to meet the new standards, the university will be penalized. On the up side, advising will undergo a long-overdue renovation. That's right, your advisers will now be required to maybe read the course catalogue and at least have a vague idea of what you need to take, in order to graduate from this university. Also, there will be an effort to provide more of those hard-to-get- into classes, so that they won't be so hard to get into. On the other hand, though, the university will face repercussions for students who switch their majors. What will this mean for those students? Will students who desire to switch their majors be penalized in some form? Will advisers be putting pressure on students to remain in a they re not suited for? - - ^ ?- 1 Who knows the answers?

However, is it not true that giving special prefer ences'totsomfe individuals on the basis of gender and race could also be construed as 'dis­ crimination' against the genders and races excluded?

The term "affirmative action" was first used in a racial (gender) discrimination context in Executive M To the Point Order No. 10,925 by President John F. Kennedy in 1961. The executive order indicated that, "federal contractors should take affirmative action to ensure that job applicants arid employees are treated without regard to their race, creed, color Oriia^ implied equal' What we have today, however, is a deviation of the original intent of affirmative action. The approval of Proposition 209 by 54 percent of voters last November made California the first state to outlaw affirmative action programs. Now, 23 other states are looking at similar laws. The law bars states and local gov­ ernments from using gender and racial preferences in hiring, contracts and education. Many are looking back at racial discrimination in education as a basis for affirmative action saying that without affirmative action, many may not be accepted into top col­ leges. , J Buti onei must^nsider,pOuld it riot better prepare a student if they were accepted into an institution on the basis of scholastic ability rather than race? I seem to remember being told once, "always hire the best man (woman) for the job." This doesn't seem to mean much to people who want equal rights without equal abil­ ities. In the light of all the protest against Proposition 209 it really makes you wonder, is colorblindness really the official policy of this nation? is ensured by affirmative action by Roxanne Murphy Asst. Copy editor By definition, affirmative action is more than just a race thing. It calls for equal opportunity for all citizens, but since people usually focus on the racial aspect of affirma­ tive action, I will offer my thoughts on this issue. It seems like a lump sum of peo­ ple have a story that goes some­ thing like this: "I have a friend who had really bad grades in high school, but got into UW because she's black" or "I know a guy that got the job because he's Native American." Some think this is sufficient reasoning to abolish affirmative action. If it were really the case that every YAW Counterpoint minority was chosen over every white individual when the two were vying for the same position, don't you think there would be more minorities in the work­ place and in higher education? There aren't. As you sit in your classes today, take a look around you. The percentage of minorities to whites on this campus is small. If minority stu­ dents were taking the seats of white stu­ dents because of affirmative action, the percentages would be different. To say the only reason a minority in your class was admitted to this institu­ tion is because of affirmative action is a direct attack on that person's intelli­ gence. Take a look at the work force. Most of "Corporate America" is being run by white males. These employers should be reminded by affirmative action to make sure their game field is level. I hate to break it to some of you, but we live in a white-male dominated soci­ ety. There needs to be something to make sure no one is taking advantage of this. Otherwise, people will be left behind. Please don't pin me as an anti-white male individual. If it were the case that our nation was dominated by purple people eaters and many white males weren't getting an equal chance at life, I would be all for the guys. Some say affirmative action is a segregationalist and discriminatory ploy. I think it brings people together. We need a more representative and di­ verse voice in our schools and on the job. Affirmative action needs to stay intact. If you want me to be against affirmative action, show me a plan that will successfully ensure equal opportu­ nity for all.
Observer — Opinion — Oct. 16,1997 HARASSMENT: Shumate shares From page 6 als or 3. such conduct has the purpose or effect of unreasonable interfering with an individual's work or creating an intimidating, hostile or offensive work or academic environment. This definition is in keeping with the equal employment opportunity commis­ sion's regulations on sexual harassment. Based on the definition provided above, examples of sexual harassment prohibit­ ed by this policy include, but are not limited to: physical assault, direct propositions of sexual nature, subtle pressure for sexual activity. In addition, behaviors which constitute a pattern of conduct that discomforts or humiliates the recipient are prohibited. Such behav­ iors may include: comments of a sexual nature, sexually explicit statements, questions, jokes or anecdotes unneces­ sary touching, patting, hugging, or kiss­ ing remarks of a sexual nature about a person's clothing or' body or remarks about sexual' activity or speculations about previous sexual experience and persistent, unwanted attempts to change a professional relationship to an amorous one." The policy goes on to identify how one can report incidents -of alleged harassment artd where to go to file for­ mal complaints. Quoting again from the policy: "Formal complaints alleging sexual harassment by a university employee or an agent of the university may be filed in the affirmative action office (Barge 211,963-2205).

Mr. and Ms. Central take center stage by Sarah Spiro Staff reporter As titie week goes on, everyone is getting psyched for Homecoming '97. As most are well aware, there are tons of activities planned in addition to the big game. On.e of them is the Mr. and Ms. Central pageant, "Come See the Stars." It will be held at 7 p.m. tonight at Club Central in the SUB.^ Admission is $3 per person and those attending will receive door prizes. Mr. and Ms. Central is sponsored by the Residence Hall Council (RHC). "We're expecting the biggest turnout ever this year," Jon Hudson, RHC treasurer, said. It's up to each residence hall how they choose their represen­ tatives. They hold elections, talent shows or some type of con­ test and the winners go on to compete for the Mr. or Ms. Central title. The Mr. and Ms. Central contest is broken down into three categories. The first category is the talent competition. Contestants may perform their special talents, however wacky they may be. The second category is the celebrity impersonation. Contestants dress up as a famous movie star, singer, or celebrity of their choice, and impersonate that star to the best of their abil­ ity. After these two categories are completed, the 'celebrity' judges tally up the contestants' points and make the first cut. Half of the contestants go on to the third category, which is to answer impromptu questions asked by the judges. The judges include Ann Spangler of dining services, Denton Sederquist, Central campus area coordinator, and Amy Gillespie, BOD president. "Everyone should come see this even if they don't live on campus," Gillespie said. "It's a great way to sit back and relax while you get a good laugh." While Gillespie encourages everyone to attend Mr. and Ms. Central, she is also eagerly looking forward to participating as a judge. "It's fun knowing you'll have a great time," Gillespie said. "I'm definitely going to pay attention to who's getting the most reaction from the crowd." The crowd, RHC anticipates, will be what makes Mr. and Ms. Central a success. "It's going to be a crazy time," Hudson said. "You'd be crazy to miss it!" Pounders rumbles into the Ellensburg scene by Ryan Johnson Staff reporter Pounders, a new bar above The Palace will open this Friday. Pounders serves beer on tap in pounder glasses — a pint- size glass, or 16 ounces — not bottled beer. A full-service liquor bar is also there to mix up a cocktail. "It looks to be real competi­ tive with the Mint getting their liquor license and all," owner P.J. Bugni said, "but I think we'll do just fine." Pounders features full-ser­ vice food from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m. and then just drinks from 9 p.m. until close. Pounders will serve pizza, hamburgers, appetizers and entrees. The beer includes everything from Budweiser to Black Butte Porter and a new seasonal beer, Widmer Octoberfest. Prices range from $2.25 to $3.25. P.J. Bugni and Steve Hansen, who are cousins, own the new bar. Hansen's dad owns The Palace. They both attended school at Central and cut school short of graduation to pursue the family business. GALA celebrates Gay History Month by Jamie Alexander Peterson Staff reporter Fall is the time of year people go back to school, but for some it may be a time for exploring their history. October is National Gay History Month and in observance of the month, posters line the SUB-Pit area with names and pictures of several important and influential people. These are people who were gay, lesbian or bisexual. Although there are no specif­ ic events planned to commemorate the month, Central's Gay And Lesbian Alliance (GALA) hopes to increase awareness. "It is a way of reclaiming our histo­ ry and also a way to educate people outside the gay community," Michael Lenington, GALA president, said. National Gay History Month is an opportunity to research and observe the contributions gay, lesbian and bisexual people have made throughout history. "It is a time to demonstrate how far we've come," John Graves, GALA member, said. Since 'coming out' is such a modern concept, historical research has been done to find homosexuals' place in his­ tory. "It's not even important that these people were gay, that is consequential, but that people within the gay commu­ nity have significantly contributed to society," Lenington said, "and it's not just public figures, but people locally as well." Central's GALA membership is more than 40, much higher than last year, with roughly one-third of those members straight. "Gay people need straight people," Lenington said. GALA acts as a support group for whoever needs it and also attempts to educate people about gay issues. "You don't have to come if you don't want to, but this is here for you if you need help," Sylvia Hahn, GALA treasurer, said, "it can be one on one or as a group." See HISTORY/Page 14
Oct. 16, 1997— Scene — Observer Artist displays different strokes by Peter Buckley Staff reporter Many artists find inspiration for new creations far from home, as one multidimensional artist discovered in India. Abhaya Steve Brooks brought 27 original oil paintings, influenced by his time in India, to Ellensburg. The "Body Language" exhibit is on display from Oct. 11 until Nov. 17 at the Amby Edinger Gallery, 411 Pine St. Six years ago, Brooks visited India and found that there was much to learn about the nature of life in a culture other than his own, growing up in Moline, 111. in the early 1940s. "When I was in India, the feelings I felt became even more real," Brooks said. "There were so many people, so much poverty, nothing was hidden. It was the constant pres­ ence of death in life that I became aware of a kind of transparency. I experienced the exquisite transient nature of life." In the five months there, he expe­ rienced life in a way that was com­ pletely different from that found in the United States. His experience left a visible mark on the paintings he has created since. He received his M.A. in creative writing from San Francisco State University in 1972. Brooks is also a published writer of poetry and sto­ ries, and has performed theatrical one-man shows. Along with his the­ atrical performances and poetry, his paintings have been exhibited in gal­ leries in San Francisco and Seattle. Brooks resides in Seattle and be­ lieves art, whether one is viewing or creating it, is always tangible. "The beautiful thing about art is that you can make it anytime," Brooks said. "If I see a performer enjoying what they're doing, it makes me happy." The style of the paintings on dis­ play downtown was not developed overnight. While in Seattle, Brooks was part of a life drawing group, where he painted live models who changed position every 60 seconds. Reuben Edinger is the owner of the Amby Edinger Gallery and likes to bring in work with a "personal voice." Edinger met Brooks on the art scene in Seattle and since then has grown to enjoy his work and charac­ ter. "I can't find very many artists who speak with the honesty that Steve does," Edinger said. "Steve's view of the human body is not based on the status quo. He speaks from what's in himself." The paintings are created in three distinct styles, revealing the human figure. Whether in the cubist, Ouija, or nude or partially clothed, all of the paintings are done with vivid color and personal expression. Brooks' cubist style of painting is reminiscent of the elaborate multicolored stained glass windows found in churches. The Ouija style has a dream-like quality related from one's experience with the Ouija board. Brooks enjoys creating works that people can relate to in their own way and likes that everyone sees some­ thing different. "I get to now watch when it becomes someone else's painting. I already had the experience," Brooks said, "Everyone sees something dif­ ferent." ^"-vX-WX&y uiWiitiH Brandy, Langfitt/Observer di en i.ujf, uai iyiitt/ vudci v* This painting titled "The Shawl" by Abhaya Steve Brooks is one of many on display at the Amby Edinger Gallery. Observer — Scene — Oct. 16, 1997 i--.. Hunting season's a "no" if there's nowhere to go by Toby Staab Staff reporter A-good hunting spot is often not easy to find. In fact, some people spend more time hunting for a good location than actual­ ly hunting. Often, one might spend an entire day driving by "No Hunting, No Trespassing," signs in the vain pursuit of outdoor adventure. Not only is it annoying, it is downright frustrating and disheartening. Luckily, Kittitas county is surrounded by some of the most easily accessible big game hunting around. West of Ellensburg is the tiny town of Easton, as well as a ridge called Taneum. An area of especially varied terrain, it offers a wide variety of hunting opportunities holding big game such as bear, deer, elk and cougar. This ridge stretches southeast along 1-90 and then cuts south toward Yakima. "My family has hunted the Taneum for years and had a lot of success," freshman Tyler Mills said. Southwest of Ellensburg is Manastash Ridge. This partially forested ridge holds deer, elk, bear, and cougar. Access to this area is easy, but some parts of the ridge are private land, so writ­ ten permission is required. A four wheel drive vehicle is not nec­ essary but it may be difficult to access the forestry roads with­ out four wheel drive if it has been raining or snowing. "If I was going for deer or elk, I would go to Manastash, the animals like to hang but on the edges of the meadows," Kevin Stokes, a paramedic major, said. . . . - ^ .

Deer and sheep do live and thrive in this area, but finding them isn't always easy because of the hiding places in among the rocks and brush. "I have hunted all up and down that river canyon, I've seen a great deal of animals, and even killed a few hundred Chuckar," Mark Rubbert, MTR logging president, said. North of campus lies the Teanaway Ridge. Access is easy as long as you follow the for­ est service roads. This area is rich in wildlife and scenic beauty. Deep gulches, cliffs, val­ leys, streams and one spectacular sunrise can be seen from up on this ridge. "We saw a doe and a nice bull elk up in that area," junior Tommy Huddleston said. and there was a six pointer in the herd." A wonderful hunting area lies northeast of campus. The Hike away from the access roads at least a couple of miles. Colockum wildlife area offers thousands of acres of accessible This may sound like a long way to walk, but it can easily be done hunting land. Many gravel roads traverse these hills and make it in less than an hour. By simply moving out and away from road easier to cover the entire area. Bull Elk have been steadily on traffic, one will likely double their odds of success. the rise in the last few years, because of a spike only limit. This Remember, the only one keeping you from finding a good wide open terrain offers long shots, so be prepared to extend hunting spot is yourself.

Now put your hand down, people are star­ ing. Whether or not we'll admit it, we've all had Top Ramen. Even if you're an on-again off-again eater, or if you buy it by the flat at Costco, eventually you get sick of your basic oriental noodle soup. Well, it's time to break the curly noodles that bind you, Top Ramen- O-Rama has begun!! I have two recipes for you this week, both are relatively easy. The first,- Cheesy Noodles, will probably tickle the taste buds of habitual Top Ramen eaters. The second, Oriental Chicken Salad, will appeal to those with, shall we say, more refined tastes. Here's what you'll need: Cheesy Noodles: 1 package Top Ramen (any flavor) 3 cup chopped broccoli (frozen or fresh) 1 cup processed cheese spread Here's what you do: In a small saucepan, bring 2 cups water to a boil. Add Top Ramen noo­ dles and broccoli. Cook for 3 min­ utes. While the noodles and broccoli i are cooking, put your cheese in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for 3 minutes, stirring at 1 minute, 30 seconds. Drain the noodles and broccoli, add cheese sauce. That's it! For garnish, try chopped tomato and a little shredded cheese. Here's what you'll need: Oriental Chicken Salad • r 1 • J » ' * * • J . ^ J • I -« ' - ^ . , - . . , , ? ,» t 12 cups shredded or chopped cab bage (2 lb. head) 4 green onions 3-4 cups shredded, cooked chicken 2Tbs.sugar POSSIBLY PREGNANT?

Clipping the "Mane" of students campus-wide Observer — Scene — Oct. 16, 1997 fl by Brian Johnson Staff reporter The Mane Attraction turned heads on Oct. l,when Central Alumni Lori and husband Ryan Sherrell bought out the downtown beauty salon. "After 13 years and putting myself through school cut­ ting hair, it has always been a dream of mine to own a salon," Lori Sherrell said. Central plays an important role in how the Sherrells decide to run their business. The Sherrells want to pro­ vide a quality, moderate full service salon in town. By this, the two have decided to keep service cost affordable. Haircuts at The Mane Attraction start at $15 for men's to $20 for women. They also accept competitor's coupons. "Our target is the middle range students and families," Sherrell said. With this new business venture comes re-modeling, decorating, organizing and pricing. Right now the two have plans to carry a full line of Aveda hair care and make:up products and hope to offer full facials-Aveda make-up facials. They also plan hiring a licensed nail artist. Other plans the Sherrells are working on is bringing in Schwazkopf hair color- a product from Europe and also expanding the salon into a full service day spa. The Sherrells have also extended their hours to stay open until 8 p.m. on weekdays and 5 p.m. on Saturdays. r The Sherrell s ark also encouraging their staff to "Duq'Xi .]?•' ° ® -- *: become, more educated as new products are released. • Another important plan of the Sherrells' is bringing in spectrum lighting that is more like the sun, giving off true !Mi mm mmm Brandy Langfitt/Observer The Mane Attraction cut hair for $10, with all proceeds going to the United Way. They hope to offer this again in about six months. lighting and color. Being a contributor to Central, the community is very important to the Sherrells. They plan to become involved in the boosters and having give-a-ways as well as holding a cut-a-thon twice a year with the proceeds going to char­ ity. Oct. 13 was the Sherrell's first cut-a-thon bringing in people from all over the valley. Contributions went to the United Way of Kittitas County. The Sherrells are also interested in working with the Central theatre department on drama productions doing hair and make-up. Debit cards offer many options by Jaclyn Hughes Staff reporter . Students who live off-ca dread rushing home between classes to grab a bite to eat can purchase a debit account through CWU Dining Services. Tom Ogg, director of dining ser­ vices, said although debit cards have been around for two years, not very many students are aware the program exists.'10'1 : major advantages: they are inexpensive arid convenient. "When you visit one of the resi­ dential locations, Holmes, Tunstall and the Deli, you get the guest prices, which is $3 for breakfast, $4 for lunch and $5 for dinner. Otherwise, you would pay the higher cash price," Ogg said. "That's probably the biggest advantage (of having a debit card). Also, it's a lot quicker and more convenient." From a students standpoint, debit cards are like a food safety deposit box. When purchasing a debit card, students put the amount of money they want cm it before it can be'used. That way, when money is scarce stu­ dents will still be able to eat. "I think the debit cards are good for students who are sick and tired of eating Top Ramen," senior Tasha Shives said. Students can fill up their plate as many times as they want at Holmes West and Tunstall Commons. For a schedule that doesn't allow for a sit dcjiwn all-you-can-eat meal, pick up, some food "take-dut style" at either" Studio East or the Depot Deli. Debit dollars can also be used at Cats, the espresso cart in the SUB, the Breeze-Thru Cafe and The Central Cafe. Junior Danielle Boyko thought the debit cards were convenient for commuting students. "They (debit cards) would be really nice for people who travel from Yakima to go to school here and can't go home to eat," Boyko said. With the purchase of a debit card, guests will save $4 a meal at the din­ ing halls. So rather than having them eat the same bid fast-food, introduce guests to dining "Central style."

Oct. 16, 1997— Scene — Observer by jGina Emburey Staff reporter Bjork has made her return to the music scene for the first time sihce 1995, however, it's nothing to get too excited over. For those die hard fans, you may feel differ­ ent:: Homo genie the title of her newest album, has some good qualities but not enough to even Coiint. , "The one semi-good thing I can say about this album is it has the same industrial«sbundirig| drive which Bjork's music is krioWn for. Thank goodness Bjork^hasn't changed that, r, « Now that I've been polite, let me really tell you what I thought of Homogeriic. Listening to it for over an how-, nearly, put me to . I kept telling myself this is fijork, not a classical music con­ cert. I would have had more fun doing homework: (if you catch my drift). There is no variety to any song on the album. For the most part, they all have the same speed — slow and bor­ ing. This may have to do with the creative title Homogenic , which means "of the same kind or nature " essentially the same. Well, Bjork, it might be-a cre­ ative title but next time you may want to add a little bit more to your songs so your listeners can stay awake. As I listened to each of the 10 songs on the album, I kept think­ ing OK this pne is going to sound different than the one before. I'm glad I wasn't holding my breath. Also, there are four songs on the album which sounded like they were just thrown together at the last minute. These songs are very short and repeat the same few lyrics throughout each one. Bjork, what were you thinking? Being a big'Bjbrk fan (I don't think there are too many of us) I am extremely .disappointed with Homogenic. Remember however, I am only one person and we all have our own opinions. If you feel you still want to give the new Bjork album a try, pick yourself up a copy at Rodeo Records on Main Street. If you do pick it up and wish you hadn't wasted your money — I told you so!

Scene editor If you are a Marilyn Manson, Tool or any other "I hate the world just because" type music lover, I have a feeling you will not really dig this review: You may want to skip this little gem if you are one of those. Jars of Clay have been tearing up the music industry with their brand of adult contemporary music that brings a Christian message from their first, self-titled album. The group has become wildly popular as a Christian alternative band , and just released their long-awaited sophomore project, Mi&h Afraid, The first single off their debut album, "Flood," floated the band to the top of the charts and earned them many accolades. The Greenville, Illinois foursome got their start in col­ lege when they found friendship through music. Sincethat time, Dan Haseltine, Matthew Odmark, Charlie Lowell and Stephen Mason -have been making some of the best out there. Musically a cross between Matchbox 20 and Third Eye Blind, Jars of Clay are master musicians with the combination of upbeat and jazzy songs to the more alter­ native styles. Much Afraid shows the band's diversity several tracks show the "harder" side to their music. Their usual soft melodies and ballads are still present, but the album is definitely original, going from hard to soft in dramatic fashion. "Fade to Grey" and "Crazy Times" are two different styles with an upbeat tempo that showcases their talent. The rest of the album feeds off the energy of these two. Jars of Clay have been making great music for many years and can please even the most finicky of music lovers. I look forward to every album they produce There is no need for me to recommend this album. If you have actually read this far, you already know it's an advantage for music fans. As always, this beauty is available at Rodeo Records for all your music needs. Be afraid, be very, very afraid...Sorry, bad joke. r . o •• .

Steve: Well, I do.think hie tried hard and gave it a good go, btit I don'tthinkhis performance is near­ ly as notable as he was in 72 Monkeys: He developed a|gpod^ character in the first half of the film but there were changes the character needed to undergo that I didn'lsee when I evaluated him at the end.

There were lots of orchestral strings. Steve: Those parts were done by everyone's favorite cellist, Yo Yo Ma. Jason: Yes, if you don't see this! movie for yourself, do it for Yo Yol Ma One other good point about the movie was the absence of Steve Urkel. I was also happy to see no attempted Gary .Coleman come­ backs too. . Steve: I hear Urkel is going to play the Dalai Lama in the sequel. Jason: So here * is my overall take: As far as epic films go, I was looking for more of a story line. Pitt's acting is far from Oscar win­ ning, but commendable considering he was in Cool World.

The movie is important and really should be seen by all those people who have jumped on the Free Tibet bandwagon. It's edu­ cational and eye opening with just enough to keep you awake. Overall, it was educational but mediocre. If you would like to know more about oppressive governments over­ throwing small peaceful cultures, consult your local library, not your local theater.

The $35 athletic fee you all paid has raised a large sum of money for the remaining sports. How much? Somewhere in the ballpark of $700,000, or about the same amount of money Kevin Garnett of the Minnesota Timberwolves makes in one game — he's got a brand new. $126 million contract if you hadn't heard. Poor guy. Central's remaining sports will get all the money raised by the athletic fee. Unfortunately, the men's soccer program will not be revived any time soon, even with that large account. The athletic budget could support men's soccer, but the problem is com­ petition, or a lack thereof, and a lack of a coach. Not many schools in our con­ ference have men's soccer programs for Central to compete against, and nobody has expressed an interest to coach men's soccer at Central. But has Central advertised for a coach? No. At any rate, many men soccer play­ ers left Central to play elsewhere when they heard soccer was being dropped. So recruiting men soccer players could pose a problem, too. In the mean time Central has added some very, very, very low budget varsi­ ty sports to make up for the deceased men's soccer program And luckily, these two sports don't need a coaching staff. Let me tell you about them. Extreme malt liquor sprinting: This sport was just recently added to the Pacific Northwest Athletic Conference. Competitors must first drink them­ selves silly. A Breathalyzer test will be administered to determine if they've actually drunk themselves silly. Next, competitors begin the running leg. Beginning at ground level, they must sprint to the the top floor of the tallest dorm on campus, then back down, 37 times. Competitions in Ellensburg will take place in nine-story Muzzall Hall. Elevator use is strictly prohibited. Points will be awarded to competitors who are noisy enough to annoy people who are trying to study for that impor­ tant chemistry midterm. Competitors who don't have an aneurysm in the running leg have one final objective. They must depart the building with­ out running in to an LGA and sprint , across the finish line. Competitors who prevent themselves from being written-up will get extra-fancy, special, bonus points. Tryouts for extreme dormitory malt liquor sprinting began September 24 and will continue forever. ~ Suicide mountain bike luging: Warning: competitors are required to wear helmets, shoulder pads, thigh pads, elbow pads, shin pads hip pads, wrist-guards,, safety glasses anfl athletic supporters and cups (for males only). Competitors might consider hoioking up with some effective pain killers — Valium and/or heroin are preferable. Athletes must sign a waiver releasing Central Washington University from any liability of ghastly injuries that may occur in competition. Competitors must complete a bike- safety course MfOTeihey ^n/com'p It's urged athletes say their good­ byes to their families before compet­ ing. This is not a sport for the light- hearted. The starting line for suicide biking at Central is at the top of campus by the psychology building. In waves of 10, competitors will take off at about Noon, in between classes, when a good majority of the student body is walking on the main mall. The goal is to haul ass and avoid the multitude of people innocently walking to their next class. Competitors will lose points if they collide with pedestrians, trees, build­ ings, dogs or cows. However, competitors will get points for nailing any campus cop cars, if damage results. The first to reach 8th street wins. If two or more bikers reach 8th street at the same time, an espresso tie-breaker will determine the winner. The first biker to order an espresso at the stand across 8th street will win. Competitors will lose points for jay walking across 8th or for not walking their bike across the street politely. With the dorm marathon and sui­ cide biking now a part of Central ath­ letics I am sure none of you will miss the men's soccer program.See ya'll D.T. Wmm. 'MMB. Wmwm •.CyA-/sss/s/&/ssss.

The Tats began the sea­ son with a 10-game unbeaten string. Wildcat forward Judy Koenigs set a school record in the shutout of Evergreen, scoring in five straight games. Koenigs scored Central's sec­ ond goal of the afternoon, just one minute after the first, on an assist from Liz .Colgan. "It was a good pass from Liz," Koenigs said. "We were just two-touching and she got me the ball." Colgan netted the first goal for the Wildcats, in addition to assisting Koenig's goal. Central head coach Larry Foster once again was happy with the play of his team's defense. ...it was a tough loss because we played beneath ourselves. —Larry Foster . "Our. team, defense 'is really},-, playing well," Foster said. "Once •again, they came through." Central was unable to get the ball in the net in the second half, despite out-shooting Evergreen 21-1 in the half. The Tats out- shot the Geoducks 38-2 in the game. "We had opportunities," Foster said. "We just couldn't get the ball in the net." The Wildcats Were anxious to get back in the win column after having their unbeaten streak . stopped. "It's definitely important for us," Koenigs said. "We need to win these games for the play­ offs." Sunday, Central lost to Western in Bellingham 1-0 in overtime. It marked the first time the Wildcats have been shutout this season. "Western played well," Foster because we played beneath our­ selves. We had our chances in regulation and in overtime." The Vikings outshot Central 20-8, but Sacha Martin kept the Wildcats in the game all after­ noon. "Sacha had an outstanding game," Foster said. "She had eight saves, and all their shots were on frame." Central, because of the loss, now must win their final two con­ ference games at Evergreen on Wednesday and here against Western Oct. 25 in order to qual­ ify for the playoffs. "We're real frustrated," Foster said. "We're going to come in re- focused and ready to play these games."

Observer — Sports — Oct. 16, 1997 ATHLETIC FEE: Advisory committee added From page 1 The money will be used for things such as travel expenses, equipment and officials. But some students disagree with how their money is being used. "We should be paying the school to get an education, not to fund varsi­ ty sports," Josh Taylor, a freshman in law and justice, said. Word was going around that some of the money would be used for perks for athletes such as tuition wavers, books, and room and board. "My tuition money went up a lit­ tle bit," Melissa Routh, a varsity soc­ cer player, said. "I'm assuming it was from the fees." Frederick said this isn't true. "All. of the money is going strict­ ly to support the 14 athletic pro­ grams," tie said. "It is not legal to use that money for scholarship aid." Frederick determines how the money is distributed throughout the various athletic programs. Each sport is assigned a lump­ sum for equipment and travel expenses. Each coach must submit their expected expenses to the Athletic Department's^business manager and must then have it signed by Frederick. "This is to make sure that the stuff they're spending the money on is legitimate," Frederick said. Frederick receives recommenda­ tions on how this should be done from a student athletic advisory com­ mittee. "°THfecbmmittee wilUfc madfrup of7 seven students including: one male athlete, one female athlete, one on- campus student, one off-campus stu­ dent, one non-traditional student, one commuting student and the vice pres­ ident of Equity and Community Service. "We set up the committee to help advise him (Frederick) on where the money should end up," BOD President, Amy Gillespie said. Frederick welcomes the idea of an advisory committee. "It's great, we appreciate so much, what the students did for us," he said. "We want to be very open about how we're using the money." The committee will be overseen by Nancy Howard, Affirmative Action director. Members are being selected through an application process. Gillespie backs the athletic fees for fundamental reasons. "I support it because the students voted it in," she said. "It was neat to watch students with concerns go through the democratic process." The voter turn-out when the fees went to ballot last May, was 1,664, with 1,085 students voting for the fees. The fee enables the athletic department to give some of the money back to the students by offer­ ing free admission, for Central stu­ dents, to all varsity sporting event. But there are still some complaints. "The only sports you have to pay to watch are football, basketball and volleyball," Gabi Botello, a junior in education, said. "There's not enough home games to reimburse my money anyway."

"It's all going toward varsity ath­ letics and none of it is going to stu­ dent-related things like intramurals," Taylor said. Some student supporters still have gripes about how the money should be handled. "It has good intentions, but some of it needs to come back to the non- athletic students," Dover Perry, a senior studying sociology, said. Central athletes have a different outlook on the whole issue. "Athletics kind of makes this school," Routh said. "If you counted all the athletes that come here to par­ ticipate in athletics, I think you'd have a large part of the enrollment." Central sports news Women softball's 13-23 record last season leaves room for improve­ ment, and they're using the off-season to prepare for the up-coming sea­ son in the Spring. Their first game will-be Feb. 28 against Gpncordia University. This fall women's softball has played five scrimmages against other teams. Head coach Gary Frederick said the scrimmages are a way to break up the monotony of practices and to observe players' athletic abil­ ities — both on Central's and on other schools' teams. Last ye^r Central softball gained a birth to the conference playoffs where they won a game and lost two. Central will be led by senior catcher Tera Budsberg, senior outfielder Julie Majeski and senior 2nd baseman Jerilyn Boykin who were all lead hitters last season. Central's 1949-50 basketball team and 5 former Central athletes will be inducted into the Central Washington University Hall-of-Fame during the 1997 Hall-of-Fame Banquet beginning 6 p.m. next Saturday at Tunstall Dining Hall. The banquet will be preceeded by a social, begin­ ning at 5:30 p.m. Besides the basketball team, the new inductees will be Lloyd Rawley, football, All-American swimmers Jeff Walker and Stan Vela, Wrestler Ron Ellis and cross country and track competitor Carol Christensen. The 1949-50 basketball team was the first Central team to play in an NAIA national tournament. Standouts were Dean Nicholson and Fred Peterson'who both earned all-conference honors in leading the team to a 24-8 record and a post-season birth. Central's athletic pavilion was later named after Nicholson. Nancy Katzer, Women's basketball coach, has left Central to pur­ sue her teaching career on the Westside. Interim coach Jeff Whitney and assistant coach Mike Burns will lead the team until Central finds a replacement. Prove to your learned something in economics.

Observer — Sports — Oct. 16, 1997 Rodeo team is ridin' toward nationals i \in Leopold Staff reporter \ Throw on a cowboy hat and some chaps for another season with the Central Rodeo Club. They attended the first rodeo of the fall sea­ son Oct. 3-4, in Colfax and are geared up for another run at nationals "The nationals is the goal for all of us, it's an incredible experience and a great time for anyone involved with the rodeo," Katie Stewart, last year's Central rodeo standout, said. Stewart started her run for nationals well, by finishing third in the breakaway competition with a short go time of 4.8 seconds in Colfax. But the standout for Central in the break­ away was Jodi Lowe, who finished first with a short-go time of 4.4 seconds. Cori Sizemore was 8th overall in goat- tying, with a short-go time of 8 seconds. Sixteen schools participated in the rodeo, hosted by the University of Idaho. Last year, the rodeo women finished fourth out of 16 teams in the Northwest region. The Northwest region includes Washington, Idaho and Oregon. "The rodeo is a sport that takes complete dedication year round, and I admire these stu­ dents for the time and desire that they put towards this team," Molly Udegar, rodeo facul­ ty advisor, said. All rodeo athletes own their own horses. They have to provide transportation for themselves, their horses and all the gear to and from each rodeo. The cost can add up. In addition to paying for horse feed, gear, 441 admire these students for the time and desire that they put towards this team. 99 Molley Udegar, Rodeo Club advisor gasoline, etc., every competitor has to pay a $30 entry fee per rodeo. And they'll enter 10 rodeos this year. Since rodeo is a club sport it doesn't get funded by Central's athletic budget, so each competitor has to pay $300 total this year if they want to attend all 10 meets. There is a . time factor involved as well. Most of Central's rodeo women are full-time students, some have part-time jobs and they all manage to practice three or four times a week. "It's simply a way of life, it's something I have been around my whole life," Stewart said. The Central Rodeo Club saddles up this weekend at LaGrande, Ore. They'll be competing at Eastern Oregon State University. Women's swim team ready, begins competing today by Tony Nelson Staff reporter Chad Youngquist, in his second year as head swimming coach, and his team, begin their season at 2 p.m. today in the acquatics facility across from the psychology building. For the women's team, he'll be fielding 26 swimmers and divers, 12 freshmen, in the Wildcats last year of NAIA competition. Youngquist is expecting this sea­ sons younger swimmers to be com­ peting at nationals, along with, returning national champion Joni Jacobs. "We have two possible national qualifiers in freshmen Natalie Price and Deborah Frazee," Youngquist said. Next year they move up two lev­ els of competition to NCAA Division II. To prepare the swimmers for the more competitive NCAA, division two teams from California and Alaska will be on the schedule. Also, an alumni meet has been added that will include a team bar- beque.

Observer — Sports — Oct. 16, 1997 Soccer coach brings passion and European philosophy to Central ^oach profile by Rob Sullivan Sports reporter Athletes who truly love a sport are most often introduced to it and play it at young ages. That's not the case for Central Washington University soccer coach Larry Foster. He was first introduced to the game on TV. "I watched a game on Wide World of Sports when I was 16," Foster said. "I immediately fell in love with it." , A basketball and football player all his life, Foster had found something that was more his style. "It's a player's game," Foster said. "I liked the flow, the rhythm. "It's spontaneous, when the whistle sounds, ii's just you and your team­ mates." Growing up in Fairbanks, Alaska didn't help nurture Foster's new-found love for soc­ cer. The playing season in Alaska is a short three months, compared with 5-8 months in Washington. Plus, no organized leagues exist­ ed. So Foster, 17-years old at the time, orga- ,*V - , Joshua Cooley/Observer Larry Foster nized a soccer association and his own team in Fairbanks. In fact, some 23 years later, the club is still alive and well. "There are now nine teams in the club, and one even won a state championship," Foster said. Playing soccer for only three months out of the year still wouldn't do for Foster. He need­ ed more. "I'd save all my money from working con­ struction to go overseas and play," Foster said. "People would laugh at me when I said I was from Alaska and wanted to play soccer," Foster said. The now 40-year-old Foster still hasn't lost his love and passion for the game. Besides coaching here at Central he coaches an Olympic developmental team, clinics and is a member of the state coaching staff. Foster has also counselled at-risk teens in Washington and Alaska. The 1985 graduate of Simon Fraser University came to Central after coaching at various places, including the University of California — Santa Barbara. "I came to the area to help my dad and sis­ ter," Foster said. "Both my mother and mother- in-law were diagnosed with cancer. I heard of a job opening here at Central, and there were some kids here whom I had previously coached. Besides — I desperately wanted to get away from California." Foster can't pin-point his best moment in coaching, but he said he gets a certain satisfac­ tion from watching his players come up through the ranks. "When you're able to bring a player up and see them compete at the highest level, to see their passion for the game develop, those are the good times in coaching." Foster uses a calm approach to coaching. He doesn't scream commands from the side­ line. He praises, encourages and suggests ideas when they're needed. "Ideally that's how I coach," Foster said. "A lot of the things I do come from Dutch and ^1 liked the flow, the rhythm. 99 ~Larry Foster German schools. You create problems for your players to solve. I give them a framework and structure to work within." Foster hasn't always been calm and collect­ ed. "It has happened where I lost my cool," he said. "Last year was real frustrating. This year my energies have been more focused." Foster said in particular, coaching this year has given him great satisfaction. "This season so far has been one big great moment in coaching for me," he said. "I'm very proud of this team. They have come together and played great. They have made adjustments on the field themselves, and I just sit back and watch it happen." Perhaps the team summed the feeling up best when they put the German word vgemiitlichkeit' on the back of their team t- shirts. The word indirectly translates into "warm fuzzies." Foster is hoping his team can take their warm, fuzzy feelings to the playoffs and come back champions. u Profile by Mike Wells Staff reporter Judy Koenigs had always dreamed of play­ ing soccer at the collegiate level. Her dream came true and now she's a starter for the Wildcats. Head coach Larry Foster said she is doing a nice job of that. "Judy is one of the best forwards in the con- Judy is one of the best forwards in the conference. 99 - Larry Foster ference," he said, "she wants to score, she has a nose for the goal." Koenigs is a 5'5," 140 lb. education major from Federal Way. She has helped Central soc­ cer to one of their best seasons ever. She is tied for the team lead in goals with 10 on the season. During last week's victory over the Evergreen State College Geoducks, Koenigs scored a goal in her fifth consecutive game, setting a new Central record. But, believe it or not, Koenigs would rather pass the ball off to her teammates, instead of taking a shot on goal. She is a real team play­ er. "Playing as a team leads to victories," Koenigs said. Koenigs said soccer is everything to her. "1 cannot imagine not playing," she said. She almost had to imagine it. Earlier this season in a game in California, Koenigs made a move and her knee gave out. Fortunately, the injury was not that serious and she only missed one game. Hie injury has not slowed her down a bit. "The knee feels fine, I'd probably have a few more goals if I would not have missed the one game," Koenigs said. Playing soccer is not the difficult part for Koerngs, but being a student-athlete at the same time is. "You really have to manage your time between practice, playing in the games and get thing your studying done," Koenigs said. Koenigs will be done playing collegiate soc­ cer after next season, but the sport will not be out of her life. Koenigs one day wants to coach youth soc­ cer. INTERESTED IN LAW ENFORCEMENT?
