CWTRAl WASHINGTON WJVWSITY OBSERVER THURSDAY/ OCTOBER C3DV 1997/VOL. 71 ^ HTTP://WWW.CWU.EDU/ 'OBSERVER City ponderc one-way Main Street by Robyn Bruce Staff reporter For years, the Ellensburg city council has been considering differ ent ways to address the continually growing traffic, problems in downtown Ellensburg. One solution that is receiving serious con­ sideration is a plan to turn Water and Main Street, into one-way streets. This is a tentative proposition that has been on the back burner at city hall for years and has now come to the com­ munity's attention. Although this one-way street issue has been afloat in city hall, it was the new Fred Meyer proposition that brought the issue to the public's attention. Two city council meetings have been planned for the near future to discuss this issue. At 7 p.m. Monday, Nov. 3, the first forum will be held in the Hal Holmes Center, on the corner of Second and Ruby streets. This first meeting will include concerns and points brought up by the city council members regarding the one-way street question. Two speakers will address the council, they include Joel Crosby representing Dominion Development and Tom Givens representing Fred Meyer. Crosby and Givens are expect­ ed to discuss the one-way streets and future land acquisitions for growth in Ellensburg. "Both proposals mmm have the potential for a high degree of success,"David Moseley, city manager, said. On Monday, Nov. 17, a city council meeting inviting the public's thoughts and opinions on the one-way program will be expressed, and all residents are invited. The Nov. 17 meeting location and time are yet to be disclosed. Ellensburg is facing a growing problem of too much traffic. Many residents seem to have serious problems with the growth, but some look at it as a positive step for the community. "I am excited to see major retail coming to Ellensburg. I am concerned about initial effects on small business throughout Ellensburg, includ­ ing my own," Sue Armstrong, a candidate for city council, said. "I believe in the long run everyone in Ellensburg will benefit. It is sad to see one-way streets occur because they can destroy the character of a small town." Problems have been foreseen for businesses on Main Street if it becomes made into a one-way street. It is also inevitable for both positive and negative changes to pccur. Ellensburg is growing, Kittitas County is growing and we have to do some­ thing to accommodate that growth since the growth will not stop," Ken Munsell, director See STREETS/Page 5 Heather Ziese/Observer Wmmmmmmm v/A'9. k*:X wmmmm 1II11I mmm Ariene Jimenez/Observer Construction workers, faculty and students signed the final beam before it was placed in Black Hall. by Paul Lohse Staff reporter A . celebration of the effort and teamwork that has gone into the Black Hall project took place Friday, Oct. 24. Central faculty, staff and students, along with repre­ sentatives from the Tsang Partnership and Lydig Construction, gathered to hear encouragement for the months ahead. "It was a perfect time to bring everyone who has worked very hard on the project together," Jeff Long, job superintendent, said. "We've got a lot of hard work left. This was a nice midpoint celebra­ tion." During the ceremony, Black Hall project manager Doug Ryder invited different groups involved in the project to step forward and sign the project's final steel beam. Following Ryder's speech, workers with American Iron Steel Erectors raised the white beam before placing it in Black's emerg­ ing west tower. A small evergreen tree and both the American and Washington state flags were placed atop the beam. In his speech, Ryder elaborated on the meaning of the ceremony in a historical context. "There is a tradition with origins in many cultures that celebrates placement of the last beam in the building," Ryder said. "In Norway there is a tradition that a tree is placed atop the beam, it was done to appease wood spirits whose home in the trees were sacrificed for the construction of a home or a building."

"We were very impressed with Matt's ability to take charge of a seri­ ous situation and help save a life," Lori Beador said. With his lifeguard training and prior experience as an eagle scout, Cziske tried to assess the severity of the situation. He checked any visible injuries, if the woman knew her name and if she knew where she was. When Cziske asked if the woman was hurt, she replied that she had lower back pain and neck pain. Cziske assessed that the woman should not be moved, so he immedi­ ately put her in traction.

Oct. 30, 1997— News — Observer by Jessie Santos Staff reporter Statistics show that Central pro­ vides a parking space for every 1.8 students. Western has space for every 3.2 students. Eastern has one space for every three students. "The nightmare of trying to find a place to park on campus doesn't have to be one," Mike Hardiman, director of Business, Service and Contracts, said. "There are 3,710 parking stalls at Central and many are vacant because of the locality in relation to the classrooms. Students prefer to park in an accessible area." The parking lots are located all around campus and the key is know­ ing where to find them and bec6ming comfortable with a pattern of finding them. During a parking lot survey the first two weeks of school, there were over 500 empty spaces during peak times on campus. "Relatively speaking, according to the number of students we have at Central, we have* more parking than most universities in Washington," Hardiman said. Isabel Wilder, program assistant in Parking Operations, said only 350 of the 3,710 parking spaces are des­ ignated for faculty and staff. "The parking permits sold do not exceed the quantity of stalls. There is no control over the $1 daily permits sold," Hardiman said. "When stu­ dents arrive on campus, they go to the nearest lot and look for a vacant spot. When that doesn't work, they move on to the next. Eventually, the frustrations set in and it soon becomes a problem for them." Hardiman and Wilder agreed that when the construction is completed, it should add some relief to the stu­ dents. "With the added presence of 200 construction workers and vehicles in the permit lots, it adds to the frustra­ tion of the students," Wilder said. Parking Operations collected rev­ enue of well over $100,000 last year in parking fines alone. The average parking fine is $7, but if paid early using 'quick pay,' it is $4. "The money generated from the parking revenues, which include per­ mits sold, are part of the overall bud­ get for Parking Operations," Hardiman said. The revenues collected from Central faculty, students, and visi­ tors, are used to fund both capital improvements and the daily opera­ tions. Maps for both parking and gener­ al information, ticket dispensing equipment, sanding, snow removal, signage, lighting and salaries for parking administration are included in such funding. "Additionally, we fund capitol projects," Hardiman said. "These include lot paving and major repairs, blue-light phone installations, new lighting, new lots or lot expansion, and any acquisition of land." The frustrations of parking can be alleviated by arriving at school a lit­ tle earlier or parking in the farther lots and getting some exercise from a brisk walk to the destinations around Central. The Kittitas County Connector Transit system is also available to students. i»:il Brandy Langfitt/Observer Unpaid parking tickets can become expensive. Unless you like giving the university your money for non- academic purposes, be sure to park in the correct lots and avoid excess parking tickets. by Darcy Steinfeld Staff reporter Many students come to college hoping they will make friends imme­ diately, do well in and enjoy all of their classes and feel comfortable in their environment. Sometimes every­ thing doesn't turn out perfect and students start to feel doubt doubt in their choice of a school, their rela­ tionships, their classes and/or com­ fort in their environment. This doubt can possibly lead to depression, which can affect all aspects of a stu­ dent's life. For these students and for those that just want to talk, the counseling center has a new depression support and education group that meets every Thursday from 5:30 to 7 p.m. in the counseling center lounge. The group is open, meaning stu­ dents may come and go as they please during the meeting. "We do have an agenda, but we want (the meeting) to be open," Sally Thelen, director of counseling, said. Thelen usually starts the meeting with some background information and then answers any questions. The group then usually asks any ques­ tions they have or ask for advice or suggestions on a subject., The meet­ ings are completely confidential and everyone is asked to sign a paper affirming their confidentiality. The group was the idea of Rhonda Mirkil, a third-year elemen­ tary education major, who felt stu­ dents need a group to talk to about their issues. "It's nice to talk to people who are in the same shoes you're in," iMirkil said. Mirkil was diagnosed with manic depression, or bipolar disorder, in February 1996, in the middle of her freshman year. "I wanted to start the group, as a student and person with manic depression, because I didn't see any support in the community besides my friends and my therapist," Mirkil said. Mirkil encouraged her therapist at the counseling center to start a sup­ port group for depression. She was told to talk to Thelen about it. Mirkil said Thelen loved the idea, but because it was the end of spring quarter, they decided to begin the group in fall. "It was up to me to organize it, but (Thelen) guided me," Mirkil said. "Having a group to talk to nor­ malizes depression, but it's not only for those diagnosed with some sort , of depression. If you're curious, or feel blue, come. There is no limit to who can come." Mirkil said that her goal for the group is to detach the negative stig­ ma of depression and to let people know about all the available support and resources. For more information on the sup­ port and education group for depres­ sion, contact the counseling center at 963-7832.

A second City Council meeting will be on Monday, Nov. 17. Location and time has not yet been determined. STREETS: Some are skeptical of one-way plan From Page 1 of the Small Town Institute and Central history professor, said. There is also the issue of losing the small town atmosphere with bringing in big businesses and recon­ structing roadways. "There are real concerns with real growth recently in Ellensburg," Munsell said. "The people of Ellensburg have seen small towns change into something unrecog­ nizable." The one-way street issue is a possible solution that will help promote the use of Water Street and reduce the traffic pressure away from Main Street. Moseley said it does indeed add to the equation, mean­ ing that as Central's faculty and student enrollment rises, continual changes need to be added into the community. "Water Street is underutilized. If construction occurs, it can improve the conditions of the roadway and be built to carry more traffic away from the core of the city," Moseleysaid. The initial solution-oriented plan is meant to cause less problems, but the loyal residents cannot help but resent the continual change. "We all want growth and expansion but we also do not want to lose the cherished small town feel that makes Ellensburg so unique," Jackie Armiss, Ellensburg resi­ dent said. m%msm ?JWMv?K«K5ivXwK%vJ m?- CEREMONY: President Nelson speaks From Page 1 tion of the project about 40 subcon­ tractors will have contributed to the project.

JT Berry's department store plans to close No official date set for closure by Shawn Harris Staff reporter Berry's department store, located at 411 N. Ruby, is-closing its doors soon. With no official date of closure, the store will be open as long as there is merchandise to sell. Dennis Cummings bought Berry's 22 years ago, partner Brad Ringe said, and they have shared the busi­ ness for the fast several years. Ringe said he is disappointed that Berry's Ellensburg store is closing but said there is another store in Moses Lake that will remain open. "It's sad. I've been here for years and we have had good community support," Ringe said. "Now, the com­ munity support has been dwindling, and it really doesn't leave us many options. We sure going to close." Ringe said he has noticed the community support decrease as sales have gone down over the last couple years. H The communi­ ty support has been dwindling. We're really not left with - - many options. — Brad Ringe "People either aren't spending or they're spending out (of Ellensburg)," Ringe said. "That's why I haven't thought about opening another location." Some residents have heard rumors of a department store replac­ ing Berry 's. Ellensburg resident Janet Bach said she can't see a large department store opening here. "Those stores are so huge, there probably wouldn't be enough room for them," Bach said. "Also, our community isn't very big and they would probably see it as a bad invest­ ment." In his speech, Nelson, spoke about the importance of a new Black Hall to Central's future. "CWU was founded as a Normal School 100 plus years ago," Nelson said. "The Black Hall dedication was another step in that direction." Following the ceremony, many of those present donned hard hats for a tour of the renovated south end. Looking back on the festivities, Campanella said the ceremony set a positive tone for the second half of construction. POSSIBLY PRECNAHT? CALL 9 2 5-CARE FREE PRE6NANOT TESTS!

At first, Initiative 676 appears to confront the issue of handgun safety, but upon careful review, the initiative is con­ fusing and poorly written. The main issues contained in the measure deal with requiring trigger locks and requiring all owners to obtain a handgun safety license. Most trigger locks are" ineffective because they can be removed without the key, by smashing the lock or using a screwdriver to pry it apart. Even with a trigger lock securely in place, a single shot can still be fired from a loaded weapon. Under this new measure a safety license will be required to own a handgun. To obtain a license a citizen must take an eight hour course on gun safety. If a person is caught without the safety license they will be charged with a felony and gun ownership privileges will be permanently revoked. Defenders of the Second Amendment accuse 1-676 of conflicting with our constitutional right to bear arms. Washington state should continue to support the freedoms granted by the U.S. Constitution, but parents need to be responsible and educate children as to the danger and risks of guns. The Washington State Council of Police Officers official position is in opposition to the measure. Mike Patrick, executive director of the council, was quoted in the Seattle Times stating that the initiative goes too far to address a small group of people - those who irresponsibly store their guns. In light of the problems hidden within Initiative 676, vote "No." If you are still undecided, pick up a voters guide and read exactly what kind of laws this initiative would create. Initiative 677: Should sexual orientation remain a legal reason to fire somebody? Initiative 677, which would make it illegal for an employee to be fired only because of their sexual orientation, makes sense. Anyone who performs a job effectively, and does not violate any rules a particular workplace creates, should not lose their position because their sexual orientation does not gibe with what most of society views as normal. It is already illegal for other "groups" in society to be fired because of what they are, based on their religion, race, gender or disabilities. It makes sense then to make it illegal for people to be fired for what they are, homosexual. • This initiative does not give homosexuals any "special" rights or privileges. Employers do not have to create quo- : tas for gays or provide benefits for their partners. All it does is give hard-working people security against discrimina­ tion in the workplace. Those against 677 say the workplace is not an appropriate place to display sexual behaviors. 677 only protects peo­ ple from being fired due to their sexual orientation. It does not provide allowances for people to display any sexual behaviors, homosexual or otherwise. The initiative says it cannot override a workplaces' rules of conduct or dress codes. So anyone who was performing any sexual acts, gay or not, should be fired if they are breaking company rules. Those against 677 say it will legitimize and condone certain sexual behaviors that parents might view as unhealthy or immoral and impose them on their children. It is up to parents to instill values and morals in their children. The only thing the initiative legitimizes, is the rights of homosexuals not to be discriminated against in the workplace. Initiative 677 makes sense. We are a country based on the freedom of people's rights and beliefs. Those rights should be protected. No one should lose their job if they are sticking to the rules and producing quality work. Help protect hard working people from unwarranted discrimination, vote "Yes" on 677. Initiative 685: Should Schedule I drugs be legalized? "Marijuana, in its natural form, is one of the most therapeutically active substances known to man" (Francis Young, former Drug Enforcement Administration Law Judge, 1988). Voters who go to the polls in November will face some tough decisions, including one that will affect the laws on certain drugs in our state. The legislation of initiative 685 has both positive and negative aspects, but in the end it lacks the necessary clauses to replace the drug laws currently in effect in our state. The initiative maintains stiff penalties for drug dealers and toughens penalties for violent drug offenders. However, small-time, non-violent drug users aren't jailed or fined under the initiative. They would, however, be sentenced to treatment, probation and community service. Reformation instead of incarceration. This aspect of the bill is in dire need of being passed in our state. "President Reagan's "war on drugs" hasn't had the effect he promised it would. Billions of dollars are wasted on a drug legislation that does more harm than good. Why waste so much money jail­ ing harmless marijuana smokers and psychedelic mushroom eaters? Substance abuse and addiction is a problem for countless people. But, individuals are treated as criminals rather than people in need of treatment. Initiative 685 would change that. Under the new initiative, drugs wouldn't be. legalized, instead certain drugs would be available for medical use and doctors would be able to recommend Schedule I controlled substances for seriously or terminally ill patients. This ini­ tiative has been promoted on television as being a marijuana bill, but the substances it aims to legalize not only include hemp but also LSD, peyote, psilocybin, heroin, crack, some forms of morphine and other natural and synthetic drugs. These are not the type of drugs that we want our doctors to recommend. Patients would be sent to the street to buy drugs, rather than having them regulated and prescribed. If this law were aimed solely towards legali™, medicinal marijuana, 685 would definitely deserve a yes vote. But with the current wording, it lacks the effectiveness needed to solve our nation's drag problems. A better initiative needs to be drafted, one that will provide more treatment for the addicted and regulate illegal substances rather than recommend them. One that will reform criminal drug laws free up the courts and provide marijuana to people whose doctor feel it's the best option to ease their pain Mari juana pro­ hibition needs to be reversed Far too many people are jailed for possessing a plant which grows natural, without enhancement ,n a lab. Cann.bus Saliva's side-effects are few. It's benefits are immense. The plant has been used for thousands of years for medical, industrial and recreational use. The American Medical Association reports marijuana helps in the treatment of chemotherapy, AIDS, glaucoma, multiple sclerosis, and spasticity by relieving nausea, reducing intraoccular pressure and muscle spasms and relieving ,0 rdfrate ch,r°nlC ?S n0t.sm',risinS**pharmaceutical industry has not made efforts to research hemp'" vast medical uses.

Observer — Opinion — Oct. 30, 1°°7 677 will ensure equal job rights To the Editor: I am writing to remind everyone that elections are next week. Initiative 677 is one of the many issues we be asked to vote upon. So, what is this initiative about? It is quite simple. Equal rights. Not "special rights" as the opponents of this initiative would have us believe. This initiative would ensure that no one would lose their job based upon sexual orientation, real or perceived. No existing law in Washington state prevents this. This initiative does not mean state sanctioning of homosexuality. Discrimination on the basis of religion is prohibited in this state. Everyone knows that this does not mean the State of Washington sanc­ tions or advocates everyone becom­ ing a Buddhist, Catholic, or a Muslim. If this passes the state will not be encouraging everyone to be gay. Religious organizations and small businesses are exempt from this ini­ tiative. Churches who object to homosexuality are not forced into compromising their beliefs. Simply put, this initiative would ensure that no one is fired on any other basis than the merits of their work. No one would be fired because he or she was gay. No one would be fired because someone THOUGHT they were gay. No one would be fired because he or she is straight. This, is about equal and fair rights in .our. state for us all. Whatever you believe, please remember to exercise your right and vote on Nov. 4th. Michael C. Lenington President, GALA Gun initiative To the Editor: A final word on Initiative 676 before next Tuesday's election. Have you ever bought a car that was advertised to be a bargain just to find out later that it was a lemon? That's what Initiative 676 is. Proponents of the initiative claim its main focus is child safety. If you read the complete text in your voter / \ 'EXPERIENCE JAPAN* FOR A YEAR!

This age group includes many of our nation's com­ bat veterans. Further, if child safety is the main concern here, then why does this initiative, under Section 14, exclude the government from this law? You should know that this initia­ tive can serve as a means to identify and disarm law abiding citizens. Don't take my word for this please, read it for yourself. Section 18 allows the government to refuse a safety license without cause and with impunity. Section 13 then directs this information to be released to the courts and law enforcement in an online format. Then, under Section 6, your firearms can be declared contraband and con­ fiscated, and you can be charged with a crime. Again, I urge you to review this initiative before you vote, especially if you belong to a minority. If law abiding citizens can be selected for "special treatment" simply for own­ ing a firearm, then what prevents further special treatment for reli­ gious beliefs, sexual orientation or political views. Thank you and good luck. Paul A. Christian Student Student speaks on Affirmative Action issue To the editor: In David Henderson's Oct. 16 arti­ cle, "Affirmative Action: In and Out," he quotes Bob Case as saying: "In allocating funds or hiring someone for a public position, we shouldn't have to deal with race, we should hire people based on their qualifications." Affirmative Action discriminates in favor of minorities. However, this is not the only instance where Americans look at superficial qualifications. Nepotism (showing favor to rela­ tives when hiring) is a fairly common and accepted practice in the working world. Are we to make that illegal? Freshmen must meet a "minimum admissions index" in order to be offered admission to Central. How about the 2.0 requirement for trans­ fers? Probably some potentially capa­ ble students are weeded out because of this policy, and some incapable stu­ dents are accepted. We elect politicians on specious qualifications. Idealistically, a candidate runs for office because he or she feels they can "make a difference." Some do. But what is the basic requirement for run­ ning a campaign? Money! If a person doesn't and can't obtain it in time, they are unable to run. We're not electing the best people to office— we're electing people with enough money. If Affirmative Action becomes illegal because it accents hiring based on minority status, we should start examining everyone's family tree, limit campaign expenditures to $1000 or less, and accept everyone who applies for anything. It's hypocritical to ban Affirmative Action when we have so many other ways of discrimi­ nation in our society.

Oct. 30, 1997— Scene — Observer CHAT'S TOT7 FiV£ £3i 1. Sliift-In Honor of -The Only by Buzz Sheffield Staff reporter Concert creeps nto Hertz Hall Creep your way past the ghouls and goblins to the spine-tingliqg Halloween Strings Concert at 8 p.m. Thursday Oct. 30 in the haunted Hertz Auditorium. "It's our jgoal to have a packed house," Sharon Plante, senior music business major, said. This terrdr-ific concert is under the direction of i visiting professor Paul Cobbs, dressed as the Phantom of the Opera. Central's jaward-winning orchestra consists of over 60 members that are both music and non-music majors, faculty members and people from the Ellensburg community. "Normally we don't do a pops concert like this, but this is something special," Cobbs said. "This is our treat for the campus, from the orchestra." Everyone in the orchestra will dress in costume for the performance and the audience is urged to dress in costume as well. "This year if we could get our audience members to come in costume it will pull everything together," Plante said. The concert lasts a little over an hour with a recep­ tion following. Refreshments will be served and the audience can mingle with orchestra members. "We're hoping people will come to the concert and get a taste of the orchestra," Annie Lewis, senior music major, said. "Then they will want to come back in the future." Excerpts from Phantom of the Opera, The Empire Strikes Back and Dreams of a Witches Sabbath from Symphonie Fantastique are some of the selected pieces of music. Last years performance was a full house.' Cobbs said people should get to the auditorium early before the seats fill up. "They just had a kick, a good time and so did the members of the orchestra," Plante said. "Even though we are playing music and we have to be seri­ ous enough to get the emotion across, we had a great time playing and it came across to the audience that we were enjoying the music as much as they were." All students, children and those in costume are admitted free, adults not in costume are asked to give a $2 donation. For more information contact the music office in Hertz Hall or call 963-1216. All the treats without the streets by Sarah Spiro Staff reporter Think back to those childhood years when the meaning of Halloween was dressing up and collecting as much candy as possible. Think about how safe and secure it felt walking from . house to house with fellow ghosts, gob­ lins and parents. Many agree times have changed, and while Ellensburg is still a relatively safe community, Halloween can be a dangerous time for children to be out- and-about in the dark. That's why Campus Life is sponsoring the fifth annual "Boo Central." "It's a fun, indoor, safe way for chil­ dren to celebrate Halloween," Lisa Dirks, event coordinator, said. "There will also be lots of free refreshments." From 6 to 9 p.m., Oct. 31, in the SUB, children from all over the com­ munity, through fifth grade, and their parents, are invited to trick-or-treat and celebrate Halloween safely indoors. For "Boo Central," Central clubs and residence halls decorate reserved spaces throughout the SUB. "Boo Central" participants include the Asia University America Program (AUAP), the Marketing Club, Alpha Kappa Psi, Black Student Union, the swimming and diving team, Alfred Montgomery and Kennedy Green residence halls. When the kids arrive, they'll get enough candy to keep their tummies full until next Halloween, and there will be plenty of fun activities, such as a haunt­ ed house, for them to participate in. "All the clubs and halls are great about providing a fun environment for the children," Dirks said. "Boo Central" also gets the college students involved doing something con­ structive for Halloween. AUAP is par­ ticipating for the first time. They're teaching children the art of "Horigami," (Horror-gami), by folding pieces of paper into little black cats and bats. AUAP looks at "Boo Central" as an opportunity for children and Asia University students to learn something new. "This is a great chance for our Japanese students to experience Halloween and see what it's about," Scott Schroeder, student services coor­ dinator, said. "'Horigami' will integrate the Japanese culture into our Halloween holiday." The Marketing Club, in conjunction with Alpha Kappa Psi, is setting up a haunted house in the Chief Owhi room. Club members are dressing in cos­ tumes, handing out candy and providing Halloween entertainment for the kids. "We're doing it for the pleasure of the kids," Jym Hooppaw, vice president of public relations for the Marketing Club, said. "We want to promote com­ munity relations and show the commu­ nity that Central cares." Parents are welcome to accompany their children through the haunted house. Since the Marketing Club antic­ ipates many younger age children, they will keep the haunted house tame Hooppaw said. Brian Dawson, area coordinator for campus apartments, anticipates a large turnout from families living in campus apartments, since they make up 10 per­ cent of Ellensburg's population. "Boo Central is a great program because it allows families from our apartments a safe place to trick-or- treat," Dawson said. "It allows the tra­ ditional and non-traditional students of Central to come together and participate in one program." Dawson said campus apartment families are having costume and court decorating contests, and then walking to "Boo Central" together Clubs and residence halls, participat­ ing in "Boo Central," are not only doing something fun for children, but they're having a little fun of their own. The club or residence hall with the best decorated room receives gift certificates for one of several businesses in Ellensburg.

Observer — Scene — Oct. 30, 1997 The Damm truth about Rodeo City Bar-B-Q by Steve Damm Staff reporter In a cow town like Ellensburg, a name synonymous with the smell of cattle, one would think ifwould be a relatively easy task to find authentic barbecue. Barbecue is simple to find in this town, but authentic barbecue is another matter. This magical place of carnivore heaven is none other than Rodeo City Bar B-Q, operated by Bill and Connie Craig It is a restaurant that left my buddy and I full of meaty treaties. "Rodeo City Bar B-Q is the only place in town where you can get true Texas barbecue," Connie Craig said. The moment you walk into the restaurant, you know exactly what kind of establishment you have entered. The rustic, yet tasteful, decor of the place kind of makes you feel like home. The walls are lined with turn of the century farming tools and the autographed contestant numbers of many of today's top rodeo stars. Okay, my house doesn't have those things, but I still felt like I was at home, and I'll tell you why. All of the food at Rodeo City Bar B-Q is entirely homemade, from the salads to the desserts. Nothing this restaurant serves is prepackaged. Other places may use barbecue sauce in some of their meals, but this place makes its own. The sauce comes in two varieties, original and extra spicy. It is also for sale at the counter for those of you who fall in love with it. I checked out the establishment with a friend of mine who wishes only to be known as Ron. Ron selected the specialty of the house, barbecue beef ribs. I chose the barbecue chicken sandwich on onion roll. Both main courses were very large and came with our choice of side salad or fries. The chicken sandwich was very good. I must admit that I am not a barbecue fan because restaurants tend to smother the food with the sauce. I found the amount of sauce to be the perfect compliment to the tender chunks of fresh chicken. If I would have wanted more, I could have applied it myself using the two bot­ tles of sauce that each table is sup­ plied with. The fries were very noteworthy as well. I don't think you can find fries like that anywhere in town. The fries have a flavor all their own. They are specially breaded and have just enough crunch. Watching Ron eat his ribs was entertaining. It was like he couldn't get enough into his mouth at one time. He rarely looked up from, his plate, except to give me the thumbs up to his meal. He needed a bib, but I don't think they have them. If they don't, they should probably get them, for Ron's sake. I had to listen to him lick his fingers all the way home. All in all, they did a pretty good job of address­ ing Ron's special needs. I felt it was my duty to report on the desserts. I selected the peach cobbler, heated with ice cream. Eating it was a real task after all the food I was given, but the public has a right to know. It was big. It was good, and I ate the whole thing. Ron just laid there and moaned with pleasure after his manly feast.

Seeing this issue is coming out on the day before Halloween, it made sense. So recipes that would work for a Halloween party it was. One thing evident in the search for Halloween recipes is the prolific use of cheesy, cliche names for dishes.

Hep cats jazz up Vat night by September Woods Copy editor Nearly 25 years ago, the Central chapter of the International Association of Jazz Educators, (IAJE), bee- bopped their smooth vibes into the Tav. The tradition has lived on, generation after generation, for the love of jazz. Two weeks ago, IAJE opened up their season with their first gig and a full house of mellow 'Cats. The jazz- filled evening called Vat Night, goes on all year, every other Thursday at 8 p.m. The name Vat is Tav spelled backward. "It's good food, good music and good beer," senior Alisa Webster, a biology major, said. The first Vat night was encouraging for IAJE. The house was packed with eager 'Cats awaiting the sounds of Central's 1997-98 jazzers. "There is good quality music here and they are edu­ cated musicians," senior Sharon Plante, a music business major, said. The night starts with IAJE President, Dean Snavely, giving a brief introduction of the night's procession and then immediately welcoming a group. Last Vat night, Steve and the Gail Force Winds were the opening act with seven members who played instruments from the key­ board to the saxophone. Many enthusiasts cheered the band on and everyone swayed and grooved to the beat, while ali seven jazzers worked their instruments with pure talent. Vat night is predominately solo acts performed by IAJE members only. The night usually begins with a jazz group playing "charts," (pieces of music), and then wind­ ing down with solo acts grabbing center stage. "Vat night is.great," senior Danny Helseth, a trombone player and music education major, said. "It's an opportu­ nity for everyone to blow solos." Snavely said one of the best things is all jazz musi­ cians from the music department and in IAJE get the opportunity to show their talent. The Tav and IAJE have a contract allowing minors to perform, also. Anyone under 21 years of age must be performing and is confined to a small section immediately next to the staged per­ formers, where no alcohol is permitted. "My focus of the club is to give young players the opportunity to play," Snavely said. These young Wildcats get valuable experience that they would otherwise not get, he said. As IAJE president, Snavely will be graduating after fall quarter and is being replaced by senior Sam Ormsori. The club is raising money by performing jazz concerts similar to Vat night as often as they can. IAJE has gigs set for the first Friday of every month at Austin's Road House and are currently negotiating a deal with Starbucks Coffee. The next Vat night is scheduled for 8 p.m. tonight at the Tav.

Observer — Scene — Oct. 30, 1997 Ditch-jumpin', fender-crunchin' fun by Toby Staab Staff reporter Mud and ruts, blood and guts, crash or wreck, who gives a heck, it doesn't matter how much luck, cause if you go ofttoad you'll wreck your truck. Off roading, most often referred to as 4-byin', is all about having fun. "4-byin' is the best," senior James Carsnersaid. Carsner is just one of the many Central students who enjoys bounc­ ing down a muddy, rutted, logging road in a jacked up four-wheel drive truck. It's not just the thrill of this jarring ride that causes so much excitement, it's the chance of con­ quering an otherwise impassable road. Mind over matter, and machine over nature. This is not the case when Mother Nature wins the battle more often than not. "I don't go out 4-byin' anymore cause it just cost me too much money," junior Jerad Horrocks said. Rocks, ruts, trees, hills, mud, snow and mechanical failure all work against the performance of four- wheel drive rigs.

"My buddy and I were coming out of the hills and lost the whole right front wheel," freshman Luke Hammond said. Far outweighing the risk of vehi­ cle damage is the chance of having fun and viewing some virtually untouched land. One of the most spectacular sights around Ellensburg is west on Manastash road roughly 33 miles up Quartz Mountain. This road is rough and requires a jacked up four wheel drive vehicle of some kind. "I've seen a great deal of awe­ some views around this area, but nothing compares to the view from Quartz Mountain," Jilbert said. Manastash Ridge has many great places to take your truck off road.

He begged and begged, but I kept telling him not to. I think it's really in ooor taste when he does that, and I find it disgusts most people. Our waitress was the very helpful Amanda Nelson who had her own opinion on the food she serves. "Well, I really like the sal­ ads," Nelson said. "But I think the teriyaki chicken is great." The service was good. The food was better. If you enjoy a satisfying meal centered around a well cooked animal, you need look no further than Rodeo City Bar B-Q. The prices are reasonable and the establishment is clean. It is, however, a hard sell to the vegetarian community, although they offer a decent selection of meatless alterna­ tives. I'm not going to say this is the greatest restaurant in Ellensburg. I don't know if there is such a place. I will say that I had a very satisfying meal and I will be returning there very soon.

Observer —Sports — Oct. 30, 1997 13 squad splits last week's road matches by Jason Gaylord Staff reporter After multiple injuries ravaged the Wildcats volleyball team in recent weeks, a more healthy squad headed into last weeks matches against Seattle Pacific University and Lewis-Clark State, hoping to gain ground on the conference leaders. In a pain-staking victory against SPU the Wildcats gained significant ground, coming back from a 2-1 deficit to win in five games. Senior hitters Sarah Carney and Mary Chi led the Wildcats in this one with 20 and 16 kills respectively. "We tried a few new things in this game to help tune-up for our final conference matches," head coach Mario Andaya said. "We played a sporadic match, but came up with a big win in a gym that we haven't been too successful in." On the heels of that victory the Wildcats headed into the Oct. 25 game, at nationally ranked L-C State, with a renewed confidence. This match, however, proved to be a heart­ breaking one. Once again the women made a valiant come-from-behind effort and nearly pulled off an upset before falling. Leading 11-6 in the final game of the match L-C State rallied for the final nine points of the game to win the match. The key to the game for the Wildcats was defense, as time and again, they made key digs and solid passes to keep in the match. The game also featured two huge individual performances by Sarah Carney and senior Tara Rattray garnering 24 kills and 20 kills respec­ tively. "This match was our best of the season, as far as the way we played and the level of com­ petition," Andaya said. m mmmm Brandy Langfitt/Observer Depending on the outcomes of other PNWAC games, the Wildcats will need to win one of their two remaining matches to make the playoffs.

Standout wide receiver reaches top of his game through family support by Gabe Harrison Staff reporter Wide receiver Josh Woodard has found a new source of inspiration this season. He's encouraged to excel­ lence by his wife and daughter. "I could not play without the sup­ port from my wife and new born daughter, they give me desire and motivation to reach the top of my game," Woodard said. Woodard is a 22-year-old senior from Auburn High School. He's majoring in business administration and marketing. At Auburn, Woodard was a two time all league selection in football. Last year, Woodard was a CFA all-league pick for the Wildcats He also, was a member of Central's national championship squad in 1995. "It was the highlight of my ath­ letic career," Woodard said. Woodard is Central's fourth all - time receiver with 115 receptions, and he's caught for over 100 yards 10 times in his career at Central. The Wildcats are currently ranked 23rd in the NAIA. They are in a j' three way tie for first in the CFA with Western Washington and Western Oregon. Woodard isn't completely satisfied with his team's play. "We need to execute plays better, but I know we will pull it together - and finish strong," Woodard said. Much of Central's success can be attributed to the aggressive play of El Nino could wreak havoc on Washington ski areas by Joshua Cooley Sports editor Skiers and snowboarders, prepare to grieve. The weather- disrupting condition known as El Nino may be developing in the Pacific Ocean. If it does, the Pacific Northwest could be warmer and drier this winter. A University of Washington meteo­ rologist said in the Seattle Times that Washington usually receives half as much snowfall during El Nino occurrences. This weather phenomenon is believed to occur when steady westward blowing trade winds weaken and reverse direction. This allows a large mass of warm water, normally located near Australia, to migrate east­ ward along tire equator to the South American coast, affecting the formation of rain clouds. As a result, typical atmos­ pheric jet stream patterns are altered, and global weather pat­ terns are impacted. El Nino means "boy child" or "little one" in Spanish and refers to baby Jesus Christ. Peruvian fishermen coined the name, because warm waters associated with El Nino visit the Editor's random thoughts Peruvian coast around Christmas. If El Nino develops, Washington's powder days could be limited this winter. Excuse me while I weep. So, those who've never skied or snowboarded, don't start. That way there'll be more pow­ der for us that do. We'll be hungerly waiting like salivating rottweilers for the few powder days to come this winter. Those unfortunate souls who don't snow ride — ski-flick pro­ ducer Warren Miller's universal term for people that ski and/or snowboard — might be wonder­ ing wh? possesses us snow dogs to ride as much as possible even during low-snow winters. They might think we're silly, outra­ geous, foolish. Skis and boards link our souls to the mountains. Through them souls and mountains fuse and dance in ritualistic ecstasy, like Deadheads gyrating in drum circles for hours. The dances are unconscious, infinite and fluid. Woodard. He takes pride and commitment in carrying out his assignments on every down. Pressure is not a hin- derance to Woodard, and backing down is not an option. "Aggressiveness to me means two things, my emotion and my competi­ tive edge," Woodard said. Woodard is a wide receiver with skilled hands, who likes to see the ball coming his way. He wants any chance he can get to make good things happen, like making crushing blocks to allow running backs to find their way to the end zone.

14 Observer — Sports -- Oct. 30, 1997 Volleyball coach stresses team unity by Mike Wells Staff reporter Mario Andaya, Central's head volleyball coach, cares about more than just winning. "Mario is a great person to know on and off of the court," assistant coach Tracy Harmon said. "He cares about his players personally and how they are doing academically." Andaya, 26, is a 1993 Central graduate with a BA in administrative management. He first started volley­ ball at age 16. Andaya's track coach, who was on the outdoor professional volley­ ball tour at the time, got Andaya on a club volleyball team in Bothell. Andaya won numerous all-tourna- ment awards, while playing club vol­ leyball After taking time to focus on run­ ning track at Central, Andaya returned to the sport he loves best - volleyball. He coached high school girls-club volleyball here in Ellensburg and in Seattle. After gain­ ing experience from coaching high ^oach ^ rofile 4 He cares about his players personally and how they are doing academically. - Tracy Harmon v.v school club volleyball teams, Andaya was offered an assistant job with the women's varsity volleyball team. After spending four years as the assistant coach, John Pearson, head coach, announced his retirement. The athletic department went through a search and hired Andaya as the new head coach. "Having to go out and recruit and take on more administrative respon­ sibilities is the difference from being the assistant coach and the head coach," Andaya said. Andaya likes competitiveness and seeing his student-athletes grow each year at Central. "It's exciting to see each kid make such a big impact on the team throughout their career,"Andaya said. Andaya had a lough first year coaching. The volleyball team began the 1996 season with one of Central's all-time best records. At the end of the season the team took a major plunge. "The team went through 10 sea­ sons all in one season," Andaya said. "I went through a lot of different emotions throughout the first season, which helped me grow as a coach in one year's time." Keeping his team motivated last year was tough on Andaya. "We had a lot of home sick play­ ers last year," Andaya said. To make sure the same thing did not happen again, Andaya got to know his players better during the off-season. He stressed consistency and teamwork. "We set a goal to take things step- by-step, with the final stepping stone being conference champions," Andaya said. Andaya had a lot of good memo­ ries in his first year as head coach. "My first victory would have to be the fondest moment," Andaya said. "I had a late jump on recruiting, but it was still a pretty good first year." When it comes to coaching, Andaya prefers to be technical. He wants his team to make their own decisions on the court, he does­ n't want them looking to him for answers on every play. Andaya has seen the sport change drastically from the time he started playing. "Volleyball is one of the fastest growing sports, especially seeing this program getting ready to compete at the NCAA Division II level," Andaya said. When Andaya is not coaching volleyball, he can be found down­ town at The Gym, where he is part owner. Rugby: A fusion of soccer and football A guide to rugby terminology by Viki Wenzel Staff reporter Rugby originated in England in 1823 when a soccer player acciden­ tally picked up the flail and ran with it. Rugby is a club sport at Central for men and women. Both teams play in the fall and spring and prac­ tice year round. In a rugby game each team fields 15 players. No substitutions are allowed unless someone is injured. No overhand passes are allowed unless it's on a throw in. Points are scored by breaking the plain of end- zone and placing the ball down. In rugby a score is called a try, and it's worth five points. Also, points are scored by place-kicking the ball through the goal posts for two points as an extra kick after a try, or players can score on the run by kicking the ball through the posts, which is worth three points. Unlike football, play continues after a tackle has been made. Line- outs are when the ball goes out of bounds and players from both teams line up while the ball is thrown in, this determines who gains control of the ball. A ruck is a loose formation creat­ ed around a free ball or a player who has been tackled with the ball. A knock is when a player propels the ball forward instead of catching it.

Observer — Sports — Oct. 30, 1997 Football's playoff chances dim in 34-47 loss to the Wolves by Dan Hanken and Ryan Leopold Staff reporters After catapulting to sole posses­ sion of first place in the Columbia Football Association and a No. 15 national ranking, the Central Wildcat football squad's playoff hopes dimin­ ished significantly with a 34-47 loss to Western Oregon last Saturday. Big plays and crucial turnovers cost the Wildcats a victory against No. 14 ranked Western Oregon, and might have taken them out of the playoff picture. With the loss, the 'Cats drop into a three way tie with Western Oregon and Western Washington at 2-1. Western Oregon is now in the dri­ ver's seat, with only two games left in the conference, both against lower echelon teams. "From here on out it is a must win situation," freshman linebacker Jed Sluyter said. "To make the playoffs we have to win the CFA title or hope for an at-large bid." In Saturday's game, Central (3-3) and Western Oregon (5-1) clashed in an offensive showdown, combining for 81 points and nearly 800 yards of total offense. The 'Cats exploded for 390 yards and 34 points. But the difference in the game for the 'Cats was five turnovers—three fumbles and two interceptions, lead­ ing to 21 points for the Wolves, including a 70-yard interception return for a touchdown and a 39- yard fumble return for a touchdown. Not only did the Wolves feast on Wildcat turnovers for scores, they also showed big play ability with four touchdowns over 50 yards. U It is a game we should have won. 55 ~ Casey facox After Western Oregon jumped out to a 14-0 first quarter lead, the Wildcats responded with a 4-yard touchdown pass from junior quarter­ back Casey Jacox to senior tight end Dolan Holt. Moments later, the Wolves showed their big play ability with a 72-yard touchdown reception to extend their lead, 21-7. However, in the second quarter, sophomore running back Dan Murphy lunged in on a four-yard touchdown run to cut the lead to 21- 14. Going into halftime the 'Cats trailed 28-14 following a 51-yard Wolves touchdown. In the second half the Wildcats came out firing, cutting the lead to only seven, 27-34, with seven min­ utes, 25 seconds left in the third quar­ ter. Holt snagged his second touch­ down of the game and sophomore wide receiver Ryan Seal launched a 26-yard scoring pass to senior wide receiver Davis Lura on a reverse pass play. "We moved the ball and executed well on offense," Jacox said. "It is a game we should have won." Jacox finished the game 27 of 40 for 287 yards and three touchdowns, but a 70-yard fourth quarter intercep­ tion return was pivotal in the 47-34 KR3TO Heather Ziese/Observer Central Quarterback Casey Jacox, shown above in the Oct. 18 game against Southern Oregon, completed 27 of 40 passes for 287 yards and three touchdowns in Central's loss to Western Oregon College Oct. 25. It was their first conference loss of the year. loss. After the interception return, the Wolves were able to sustain a painstaking 68-yard, 13 play drive which ate up 7:12 on the clock to pre­ serve the victory. However, Central's receivers flourished, as three senior wide-outs combined for a total of 16 catches for 230 yards and two touchdowns. "Every week someone new steps up on offense," Jacox said. Quick Cat stats Soccer: 'Cats preparing for playoffs Continued from page 12 All five Warrior attempts came in the first half. The Wildcats came out pumped up and ready to kick the Vikings back to Bellingham. Western's best opportunity to score in the first half ended up lead­ ing to a Central score. On the second of two consecutive corner kicks for the Vikings, Wildcat defender Crissie Gordon kicked away a would-be goal, after Central keeper Amber Rikerd left the net attempting to smother the corner kick. Koenigs came away with the loose ball and ran it the length of the field before centering to Dana Hansen who netted the offering from Koenigs to give the Wildcats a 1-0 halftime lead. Hansen returned the favor to Koenigs early in the second half, assisting her on her 15th goal of the season, giving the Wildcats a 2-0 advantage. Junior midfielder Liz Colgan rounded out the scoring for Central with her eighth goal of the season heading in a free kick from Melissa Sawyer. "I just know her range, and it hap­ pened to be me that got to the ball," Colgan said. Rikerd recorded eight saves in goal to earn the shutout. "Amber had a great game," assis­ tant coach John McGlinn said. "Out of our three keepers, she is the strongest in the air, and we needed it today." The Wildcats were elated after the emotional victory. "It was a great win," Colgan said. "We've worked hard all season for this." Koenigs concurred after helping the Wildcats keep the post season within reach. "This is the best win," Koenigs said. "We felt confident today."
