vlv.x. . : CENTRAL WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY Thursday, November 6, 1997/Vol. 71 No. 5 Two sexual assaults reported Police look for suspect, witnesses A woman reported to police that she had been raped last Sunday by a stranger in her Brooklane Village Apartment. The 32-year-old woman said a man forced him­ self into her home late Sunday night and raped her. After the alleged rape occurred, the man left the residence and was believed to be on foot. Campus police were called to the location and searched the area but did not find a suspect. "I just think it's important for others to know there's someone out there," the woman said. The Brooklane resident said she feels like a pris­ oner in her own home and warned other women to lock their doors with both the chain and door lock. According to Campus Police Chief Steve Rittereiser, police inspected the area for a suspect and looked for potential witnesses to the case. Police were unable to locate anyone. A composite.has been done by the Ellensburg Police Department and will be distributed through­ out Ellensburg but was unavailable at press time. The suspect is described as a white man between 24-30 years old. He is between 5-feet-10 to 5-feet-ll inches tall, with a medium build and sandy brown hair. The night of the attack, he was wearing a light colored three button polo shirt with blue jeans, white tennis shoes and a bomber jacket. If you have any information pertaining to this case, please contact Campus police at 963-2958.

Fred Meyer vs. Safeway Showdown over property heats up by Paul Lohse Staff reporter Development prospects, a desolate stretch of city property and communi­ ty growth concerns set the stage, Nov. 3, for a fiery corporate showdown between retail giant Fred Meyer and Safeway at the Hal Holmes Center. . "Safeway has other options," Tom Gibbons, Fred Meyer senior site acqui­ sition manager, said. "They can expand or remodel, or relocate their facilities to another CH (commercial highway) or other zone type. Fred Meyer doesn't have the same flexibili­ ty." Members of the Ellensburg city council invited representatives from Fred Meyer and Dominion Development to argue their plans for developing city property west of Kittitas Street in proximity of Washington and First Avenues. Dominion Development, a Spokane-based real estate development company, in cooperation with Safeway, U This town is going to have to come into the modern times 99 -Ted Garoutte said they wanted to acquire this prop­ erty to construct a shopping center with a larger Safeway as its centerpiece. "Shouldn't Safeway be given an opportunity since they have been here 70 years to grow and expand along with the people of Ellensburg," Joel Crosby, Dominion Development repre­ sentative, said. "Safeway has earned that right." Perry Huston, Ellensburg mayor and city council member, invited pub­ lic comment and input following argu­ ments by Fred Meyer and Dominion. Many of those at the council meet­ ing supported Safeway's position. They said the store's long-standing involvement in the community and voiced concerns that Fred Meyer would adversely affect the small-town economy and character of Ellensburg. "I remember the time that I went to Woods Hardware and on Monday morning I needed some plumbing stuff," John Vandermeer, Ellensburg resident, said. "I told Mrs. Woods my plumbing pipe broke on Sunday. She stopped me and said 'you should have given us a call. We would have opened the store for you.' When Fred Meyer comes in, I guarantee this will end." Safeway employee Gail Johnson said she was not only concerned for her job, but also for many of the small, family-owned businesses in downtown Ellensburg. "If somebody goes in there to buy groceries, it affects my job," Johnson said. "Is it going to affect Ostrander See ISSUE/ Page 3 Student, professor resolve theater spat by Brett Allen Asst. News editor An altercation involving a theater pro­ fessor and a student last August has been resolved to the student's satisfaction - except for how the administration handled his complaint. "I'm really pissed at the administration," the 19-year-old theater student, who asked that his name not be used, said. "They wanted to sweep it under the carpet and keep me quiet about it." Brenda Hubbard, an assistant professor in the theater department, was accused of slapping the student at a play rehearsal. Hubbard said what was perceived as a slap was misunderstood. "Both (he) and I had different percep­ tions of what happened," she said. "I was trying to grab his face, and it came across as a slap." "Me and Brenda get along great now," the student said, "probably better than we did before." The disagreement took place during a practice performance at the Laughing Horse Theater in August. One witness to the incident said during the middle of the rehearsal, the actors failed to recite four pages of text. During an inter­ mission, Hubbard, the director of the play, asked the actors what had gone wrong. The student, the master electrician for the play, complimented the cast for covering the mistake so well that the director wasn't sure what had happened. See RESOLVED/Page 5

The correct number is 963-1391 Central's recruiting trends on the rise by David Henderson Asst. News editor More employers are recruiting on campus this year than ever before, giving Central students the opportu­ nity to land career jobs before gradu­ ation. Forty-seven companies are inter­ viewing this quarter including 21 accounting firms. Others such as Microsoft, are considering job candidates at Central for the first time ever. Last year, Microsoft planned to come to Central's campus, but didn't when only six people showed interest in interviews. "This year we have over 40 stu­ dents interviewing with Microsoft," Robert Malde, assistant director of career development, said. Companies such as Boeing, Weyerhaeuser, Moss Adams, Norwest Financial, Eddie Bauer, and Sherman Williams are continually combing the colleges looking for prospects. Many students, however, are oblivious to the fact that companies are recruiting. "This is definitely a student's market," Teri Hendrickson, the recruiting coordinator of career development services, said. "My biggest fear is not getting the stu­ dents to come in. This is the only time in your life that the companies are going to come and say please interview with us." Hendrickson said Boeing hired thirty of our students last year. The list of companies slat­ ed to interview students in the future is constantly growing as companies compete for the first picks. All students need to do to interview is fill out an applica­ tion with Career Development Services in Barge 204. For more information call 963-1921.

How about Dean's Radio and T.V?" While many supported the Safeway plan, a number of com­ munity members said they sup­ ported Fred Meyer and develop­ ment in Ellensburg. Ellensburg resident Bill Levon argued Fred Meyer will create business opportunities and stop retail linkage with Yakima and other nearby communities and cre­ ate economic opportunities for Ellensburg. "Ellensburg is, a community that needs growth, that wants growth, but its getting its growth taken away south to Yakima," Levon said. "A store like Fred Meyer offers"a wide selection of a larger variety of services and prod­ ucts, wiir make a larger draw from the upper county, will create busi­ ness opportunities, perhaps differ­ ent, than existing ones, but that's a fact of life." Ellensburg 1 resident Ted Kelly Christensen/Observer Monday night's forum encouraged Ellensburg residents to address issues.regarding the construction of a new Safeway or Fred Meyer store. Garoutte's thoughts on the issue were similar to Levon's. "This town is going to have to come into the modern times, " Garoutte said.

Central's new counselor is filled with new ideas to help students by Robyn Bruce Staff reporter Jan Tackett entered the doors of the DAPPER office at Central on Oct. 20 to start his first day as coun­ selor and coordinator of alcohol, drug and wellness. Tackett has been here for two weeks and has already acquired the reputation of a man determined with changing DAPPER into a program more oriented towards students. The first adjustment on his list is to change the name of the program. If you don't know, DAPPER stands for Drug Abuse Prevention Program Education and Referral. "DAPPER is such a lame name and it doesn't invite students in and make it sound like a fun place to be or involved in," Tackett said. Tackett also wants the students to re-name the program and build it around them. He plans to re-make the whole program into a student driven organi­ zation based around life choices. "I would like this program to be a holistic approach to wellness as opposed to alcohol and drug use," Tackett said. "I want to inform stu­ dents on more satisfying activities, 44 I think that Central has a great campus with a lot of energy. " -fan Tackett $ socially, academically, athletically and spiri­ tually." Tackett believes wellness is a way to achieve healthy lifestyle decision making in general. It also includes deciding when to drink and when to use drugs. "I think that Central has a great campus with a lot of energy," Tackett said. He said it was obvious for him to see how students are involved as a community at Central. "He stood out from all of the other candidates who applied for the position because of his involvement in peer education and his commit­ ment to students," Jack Baker, inter­ im director of student health and counseling, said. Tackett plans to expand and build on numerous peer programs that include more students. He plans to include peer helpers/natural helpers, peer theater, and peer educators. He would like the peer educators program to be a credited course that trains students with helping skills, how to refer students in emergency situations and to teach about resolv­ ing disputes. Tackett, a 30-year-old who is get­ ting used to not being a student, is the process of finishing up his research for his Ph.D. in psychology from the University of Denver. Prior to being hired to work in the DAPPER program, Tackett worked at the Veteran's Hospital in Seattl^ where he started a support group for heroin addicts. "He was great for the position because of his positive energy and enthusiasm," Sally Thelen, director of counseling said. "He understand^ students and will work well with stu­ dents in the future." Tackett sees DAPPER is a grow­ ing program with an abundance of potential. He wants it to be a fun place where students feel comfort­ able.

Maybe it's the face of a grandfather who died in World War II, father who went to fight in Vietnam or a brother who served in tlie Persian Gulf that comes to mind. But for many, a stream of faceless names and lists of casualty and death figures are as close to home as it hits. i It's easy to say, "All those wars are over. It has nothing to do with me. But it has everything to do with you. It has to do with the way you live, the freedom you enjoy, the rights to which you consider yourself entitled. The soldiers who fought in America's wars fought for your way of life. If you don't feel a personal connection, seek out a personal con nection. • Talk to someone who was there. Read about the experiences of those soldiers who, while still chil­ dren themselves, fought so that you could have a childhood. Many veterans deserve equal recognition and respect for the battles they waged on American battlegrounds. Veterans of the struggle against slavery, of the civil rights move­ ment and of women's suffrage also fought, and sometimes died, to provide for future generations.

Four-byin' not a free-for-all To the Editor, I am writing to take serious exception to last week's story about four wheel driving. Sure, using four wheel drive vehicles in the woods can be great fun around this valley, but there is a responsibility the dri­ vers need to exercise when doing it. First: There is a green dot system which has been set up to identify the roads which may be used. - Any person interested may pick maps at the Department of Natural Resources. The roads also have been posted with green dot markers at the begin­ ning to let drivers know if they are legal roads. Anyone using illegal roads do so at their own risk. Many logging roads are not on the green dot system. Many are still used by logging companies, and use can lead to a confrontation between drivers and logging trucks. Second: No off road driving is allowed. Not too many years ago a young college student found out the hard way how we locals feel about people maliciously tearing up our turf. This person decided it would be real cool to tear up the Buck Meadows area in the Manastash canyon. When caught this person was fined and required to pay for the restoration of all the land destroyed during the little outing. There are plenty of four wheel drive clubs around the immediate area who use private lands to go mudding respon­ sibly. Third: Logging roads already cause a great deal of environmental problems at the time they are cut into the woods. The environmental impact of tearing up any road can be devastat­ ing to the surrounding area. It can cause runoff problems which do more damage to the road as well as to all the areas below these spots including silt pollution to the streams and the destruction of water sheds. Being in the woods can be very enjoyable to all who use them. But, it is also our responsibility to take care of our natural environment so future users from future genera­ tions will have the opportunity to enjoy the woods for themselves. Sincerely, Dale Hubbard Staff and a local Domestic violence is more than a personal problem To the Point by Jessie Santos Staff reporter You don't have time to think of what you can use to defend yourself as you slip on your own blood that is smeared all over the floor. Your children are safe at your next door neighbor's house. You hear the sirens in the distance but you're not sure if they are coming to help you. As you scream for help, your neighbors stand on their front lawns, not wanting to get involved because of the hassle of filing a police report. They watch you get slammed across your back with a piece of the door that was kicked in on you, but not before you went through the glass, slicing up your arms. They see you go down to the grass with choking hands around your throat, but still just stand and stare. Yoii' hear your children screaming from the window, "He's killing my mom," because of the amount of your blood that, by this time, is flowing freely from several more parts of your body. You feel the sidewalk caressing the flesh from your shoulders as you are thrown to meet it, then the sole of his shoe, as it is kicked into your head for what seems like an eternity. Still, as the children scream for help, because your lips, jaw, eyes, and cheeks are too swollen to allow you to cry for your own help, the neigh­ bors stand. As they watch this horror show, they are thinking up excuses for why they won't get involved. Being a victim of domestic abuse is just as traumatic as being raped. The police take pictures of your body (only you're still alive), video­ tape you as you're being transported to the hospital, and your neighbors watch, slowly creeping toward your front lawn. The silence is thick as the police ask why no one tried to stop the attack.'.v v.' Why wait for the voice of a child to summon help? ' The shout that comes-from'an adult's mouth could stop the vio­ lence. Some doors close too quickly, with help just on the other side. Step out of the doorway and walk toward the victim that is screaming for help, while they're reaching out a hand in your direction. There are now many cases of domestic abuse that go to court because of the awareness programs that teach people about domestic vio­ lence. Women are not being treated as the perpetrators anymore. They are given the strength to come forward for help. They are given extensive coun­ seling, along with their family mem­ bers, because even though maybe only one person goes through the physical abuse, they all go through the emotional abuse. Support the many organizations such as the YWCA and the Domestic Abuse Hotline (1-800-562-6025) throughout the country that rescue the survivors of these brutal attacks. ' Unfortunately* there are too many • victims of domestic violence that are ' not'so lucky:
Observer — Opinion — Nov. 6, 1997 To the Editor: I am shocked and appalled at reading the piece on Columbus in the university paper. I cannot believe that now, in the late 90s, and here on the campus of a learning institution, such ignorance and antagonism could appear in print. But let me get to the issue: First off, I do not know who was being referred to as "P-C Multi-Culture Mongolians "but I think the "Euro- male" is getting a bit paranoid. As history clearly shows (unless you read only the revised Euro-cen- tric version) Columbus did not come to the new world with any anthropo­ logical motives in mind. He did not land on those islands with the idea of studying the culture or trying to befriend the people he came to conquer and take what he wanted. And he was more than will­ ing to degrade and kill the natives to get it. And what of those people who were found to be eating each other? If the author had read and studied the history that he recommends to us the readers, he would know that it was common practice among the Aztecs to cannibalize those they conquered because they believed that consum­ ing the flesh of their enemies would give them power over their spirits. Those they "consumed" were not considered as cattle, they were ene­ mies. And I will not evert address the issue of the serving of 20,000 bodies at a festival. (Just how many pounds of meat would that produce anyway? Must have been a bunch of hungry folks at those festivals!) Oh, and let's not forget those champion steamed hearts offered to Cortez. Poor misguided emperor Montezuma honestly believed Cortez to be the god Quetzalcoatl (the plumed serpent), and was honor­ ing him accordingly. Yes, Columbus was the first one to report that there was a new world out there, and thanks to him, native culture in the Americas has never been the same. I think that here, in the university setting (if nowhere else) we should try to look at all sides of historical issues and instead of heroizing and vilifying the main characters of important events, we should try to learn from their mistakes so that the readers of our history will not have to try and make the same kinds of judgements of our actions. Jeanice Bartholow Student More words for 'Columbus as Historical Hero' letter writer You need to re-read your history books.. Your translation of natives in the New World has been splashed with a few colors too many and it has twisted us all into a wonderfully warped history. How quickly you forget that when Columbus and his crew arrived, they too had spilled blood which was not for the day. Who was delivering who from whom you said? Now ask your­ self who's going to deliver you from you? And may I remind you that the Native's were doing pretty good for themselves before the "Euro-men" came along. Just because one group of people does something differently or less their own. Also, I believe there was a appealing to another groups beliefs "The and ideals, doesn't mean they're less human.

And quit making us as a species look bad, because after all—we're ALL great human beings no matter what shade section in Prescott's book "The Conquest of Mexico", stating the fact that Cortez and his army were greet­ ed, with baskets of bread and fruits. Also, that they were able to conquer Mexico because the natives fought to of white, brown, or black our skin capture and Cortez' men fought to maybe. kill. And furthermore, the Aztecs ate If you go deep enough you'll find their victims as a symbolic gesture to that we're all made up of . the same attain the strength of their enemies stuff. I dare you to go back into those and not just to have something to eat books and read them again, only this time with the light on. ASCWU Executive Vice President defends athletic fee Ru,hUal To The Editor, It is time to get the facts straight about the athletic fee issue. First of all, in response to Devon Whitfeldt's letter, he talked about the intramurals program. This program has it's own budget and does not receive any money from the athletic fee. The Athletic Fee was voted on by the students in last spring's election. It was passed by a two to one ratio. Every student who was taking one or more credits had the chance to vote in that election. The $35 fee funded the Athletics program and also added about $550,000 to the Service and Activities fee fund. There is some­ thing else that students need to be aware of. Every quarter, mandated by state law, you pay $73 in fees that go to the S&A fund. Now that the fee is in place that money went to help fund 38 other departments on campus. These include departments such as the Women's Resource Center, your student government office, the DAPPER program, Diversity Programming, the SUB building, and Student Day Care just to name a few. If the Athletics fee were to be revoked or had not passed, these departments and others like them, who do not receive state funding, will have their budgets cut and in some circumstances won't be funded at all. There is more to the Athletic Fee than meets the eye. Athletics is not the only depart­ ment on campus that benefits from this fee. Besides, look at the bright side, you can attend the football and bas­ ketball games for free instead of pay­ ing for each game like last year. If you have any questions or con­ cerns please stop by the ASCWU- BOD office in SUB 116 and we will be more than happy to help you out.

The museum, located on 114 E Third added a new Native American exhibit to its permanent collection last June. The museum is open from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday. Museum Director Claudia Sikes said she believes the exhibit has a lot to offer. "The importance of an exhibit of this kind is to understand their (Native Americans) culture better," Sikes said. "It's a learning exhibit." All of the Native American works were donated by Ellensburg's late Dan and Mary Cheska, and Bob and Mary Butterfield. Additional items in the museum were donated by people in Ellensburg and surrounding communi­ ties. The exhibit offers a look into the history of the lives of Native Americans in the Pacific Northwest. Klickitat, Tlinget, Nez Perce, Yakama, Umatilla, Walla Walla, and Wanapum are some of the groups featured in the exhibit. The items in the exhibit include tools, clothing, jewelry, and petrified wood. Community support is something Sikes appreciates. "My board is all local," Sikes said. "They are people who care about the community." Sikes said she values those who have been supportive of the museum, but would like to see more support from others in the community. "A lot of out of town people tell me it's like finding a little treasure," Sikes said. "Unfortunately that is something I haven't been able to get across to some of the community." Central recently offered its support to the museum. Last spring, an internship program was implemented with the museum and Central students. Sikes said the interns play an important role in operation of the museum. "It's really nice to assign a task and know it will get done and get done well," Sikes said. "I can't really talk enough about the interns." The interns organize archival materials and photos. Steve Hackenburger head of the anthropology department coordinated the internship program and said he enjoyed the exhibit. "It is an absolutely superb collection," Hackenburger said. "To have it in a local public museum is excellent. I think if you have family or friends visiting, they should come see it." Hackenburger said the museum has done well in offering its availability to the community and hopes people will respond. "I think we should praise the effort to make it accessible to the public," Hackenburger said. Original art finds voice in local gallery by Sarah Spiro Stc norter Downtown Ellensburg has a character many small towns don't possess. One contributor to the Ellensburg community is the Amby Edinger Art Gallery and Custom Framing, owned by Reuben Edinger and his wife Joan Amby, assistant professor of family stud­ ies. Edinger and Amby specialize in original art. Edinger said original art has an energy that duplicated art doesn't have. "Original art provides the most sincere arid honest voice and feel­ ing," Edinger said. "Voices may speak individually to individuals, and art offers an opportunity to dis­ cover a voice that says what a per­ son feels." The gallery, features about 200 works by 14 artists, from the west coast. "I trust myself to bring a gallery which is a gathering of voices," Edinger said. "To hear those voices requires listening. I encourage peo­ ple to come in and listen to these artist's voices." From 5 to 8 p.m., Nov. 14, any­ one may visit the gallery for an artist's closing reception. The exhibit, "Body Language," by Abhaya Steve Brooks is. coming to an end, but some of his work will still be in the gallery. The closing is an opportunity to visit with Brooks and perhaps purchase his work before the majority of it is gone. Edinger grew up in Yakima and studied visual arts at Central in 1962. While attending Central, Edinger was the first man to get involved in a modern dance class. He said dancing helped him dis­ cover his inner balance. He graduated from Bennington College in Vermont and spent time in New York City, periodically for 20 years. While in New York, Edinger became a professional dancer, which he describes as a motion artist. He created his own dance com­ pany called, American Theatrical Motion Art, and wherever he moved, the company moved. "Art is in all of us," Edinger said. "We don't all practice being artists. You have to choose to prac­ tice art. It's a self-oriented devo­ tion." Now a permanent Ellensburg resident, Edinger's passion is selling and framing art. "My depth of edu­ cation is in art," Edinger said. "My wife's is in people. The reason the gallery feels so good is that I tune to the artist and (Amby) tunes to the people. Art comes from peo­ ple. Art is the most personal voice about how people feel about life. It's the greatest combination there is. I believe in art that elevates life." Arlene jimenez/Observer Reuben Edinger stands next to Leo E. Osborne's sculpture entitled "EagleSpirit" Witch hunt held in Tower by Jamie Alexander Peterson Staff reporter The Theatre Arts' run of "The Crucible" is right around the corner. It opens Nov. 12 and is directed by Brenda Hubbard. "What's exciting about this, is that it's a production that's got a lot of student involve­ ment," Hubbard said. "There are close to 30 actors on stage. You get to see a lot of stu­ dents doing really challenging work, and really rising to the occasion." The show, winner of the 1953 Tony award for best play, is an intense drama about the Puritan purge of witchcraft in old Salem. It is both a gripping historical play and a timely parable of contemporary society. "It's one of those plays that's timeless, it will be as relevant to us in 100 years as it is now," Hubbard said. "It's relevant to all sorts of issues and it's.got sex, violence, and... not rock 4n roll, but it's got sex and violence, that'll bring 'em in." The Theatre Department had to add a sec­ ond high school student matinee due to the large response. "We'd love to see even more student groups come," Leslie Caul, director of public­ ity said. "We can hold post-show discussions, events before the show, or we can also pro­ vide classrooms for discussion." Hubbard said there is a lot to discuss and learn from the play, but that isn't the only rea­ son people will attend. It is a very fast-paced passionate produc­ tion. There are a lot of real, kind of primal, feelings that are expressed on stage," Hubbard said, "it's not one of those theatre- museum pieces where you sit there and go ho-hum. Arthur Miller has written a tremendous script that is very dramatic." Tickets are $10 general and $5 student/senior. Call 963-1760 more informa­ tion.
Observer — Scene — Nov. 6, 1997 IVe got spirit, how about you? by Jamie Alexander Peterson Staff reporter Our campus provides many opportunities for entertainment and personal growth. None the less, Central's games, matches, plays, gal­ leries, guest speakers, forums, concerts, and movies all have one thing in common. All experience depressingly low attendance. There are exceptions and all are doing OK, however the question is: Is OK enough? I say not. Where else can you attend live, highly com­ petitive and skilled sporting events with virtu­ ally no cost to you (that is, after your tuition amendment), or see beautiful and inspiring art exhibits, free of charge? What other place can you experience live theater or music at a low cost? And where else can you listen to guest speakers on just about any area of interest? I'll tell you where, right here at Central. One of the most important reasons for attend­ ing a four year liberal arts college is to grow intellectually, experience things that you were never aware of, and to appreciate cultures and views other than your own. That is what gets you a job, not the piece of paper you receive upon graduation. Could it be that people just are not aware of events held on campus? That is one possibili­ ty. Or, is it that Central students lack school spirit and a sense of pride about our school and fellow classmates? Although both may be true, I lean toward the latter explanation. Never have I seen such a lack of support for university activities* by students and adminis­ tration alike, than I have in my four-plus years at this institution. It, quite frankly, makes me sick. Sure, there may be a lot of people attending some of the football and basketball games, but those people pale in comparison to the total number of students attending this university. Why don't more people attend our events? We have many talented athletes that come , through Central, like Jon Kitna, who now plays professional football for the Seattle Seahawks. Why watch teams from other areas on the tele­ vision, when you can be a part of the action right here, in person? There is no reason why Nicholson Pavilion and Tomlinson Stadium are not overly packed for every event. Get out and see them. Maybe you will see something you never knew you liked, or really appreciate the ability of Central's athletes. Central offers many outstanding perfor­ mances by the music and theatre departments that make for great dates. Attending events such as these elsewhere can cost upwards of one-hundred dollars. Along the same line, touring the exhibits in the Spurgeon Gallery makes for quality time and expansion of your mind. Wouldn't you rather vary your 'usual' rou­ tine of dinner and a cheesy Hollywood movie, to do something thought provoking that allows you to really learn things about yourself and each other. Don't get me wrong, I am a filmmaker and To the point love movies, but it's always nice to do some­ thing differ­ ent, yet related. There are frequent guest speak­ ers on campus throughout the various depart­ ments, usually open to everyone, so why don't people show up? These speakers offer great opportunities to learn about different areas and make contacts out in the 'real world (and I don't mean MTV). The purpose of this article is not to rant-n- rave, but to serve as a wake-up call to the stu­ dent body, as well as the faculty and adminis­ tration. Support our sports, support the arts, support each other, and support yourselves. I've got spirit, how about you? More than just your daily bread by Steve Damm Staff reporter About a block from Main Street sits a little food establishment. It is a quiet place to eat and grab a cup of hot coffee for breakfast or lunch, but it's not just another coffee house, it's the Yellow Church Cafe. Named from it's yellow color and the fact that it was once a church, the cafe was once a home, an art gallery, and an architectural firm. It was built by German Lutherans in 1923. The Yeilow Church Cafe is fam­ ily owned and operated by the Wollen family. Cathy and Gordy as well as their two children Alexandria and Ryan, stay very busy with everything the business calls for. "We want to give something back to the community that has been so nice to us," Cathy Wollen said. They had wanted to buy the business for two years, but waited until their children were old enough to understand that it would encompass a huge part of their lives. The business is set up as a corporation and the children own just as much of the company as the parents do. Cathy and Gordy are no strangers to church, as both were minister's children. Gordy's fami­ ly bible sits in the foyer opened to a bible verse selected each day to help guide anyone who would like to read it. Teacher Education Students Student Teaching Orientation for 1598/1959 will be held in the SUB Ballroom on November 18 from 3-5 pm November 19 from 1-3 pm November 20 from 1-3 pm You should attend ONE of these sessions. If you can't attend, please call 963-3412. Most of the regular morning breakfast food is available, as well as the standard lunch time menu items. It's not necessarily what they serve that makes the eating experience different as much as how they serve it. The pancakes are the size and depth of a frisbee. All of the baking is fresh and it's done right there at the cafe. And just because it's not on the menu, doesn't mean they won't make it for you. The cooks at the Yellow Church like a good chal­ lenge. One such challenge came while trying to create unique food items for the cafe. "We wanted to have a signature bread," Cathy Wollen said. Their "Heavenly Loaf' is rolled flat and then sprinkled with several different cheeses, parsely, garlic, then coated with butter. It's then rolled up and looks like a cinnamon roll. The bread is served with the different soups and salads during lunch*. On Saturday and Sunday break­ fast is served from open to close.

"We don't want people to feel rushed on the weekends," she said. The Yellow Church Cafe has been undergoing a few new changes, too. In a years time, the hope of the Wollen family is that the basement will be converted into a large bakery. They are also think­ ing of new ways to bring people in. Musicians have been coming in and playing coffee house style accoustic music on Sundays and they hope to bring in more musi­ cians for the future. They will soon be adding a piano. Also for the future, Cathy said they will keep talking to the public and doing what they want. She does many informal surveys to find out ideas to make the business bet­ ter.

PINE » • • 925-7726 by Toby Staab Staff reporter Today I would like to touch upon the wonderful world of Chevy Chase. A brilliant actor who started his career on "Saturday Night Live," Chevy Chase has livened up my life and countless others. Here are just a few of his most memorable movies. At thetop of the list is the movie Fletch. This move evokes memo­ ries of big hair days, and Laker mania. Chevy's use of disguises, even funnier aliases, and really cool synthesizer music, help set this movie above others. Second is Fletch Lives. Chevy pokes fun at a television evangelist, transvestite necrophiliacs, and in­ breeding rednecks. Not only is his slapstick humor mind boggling, his wise cracks keep even non - fans gurgling on suppressed laughter. Next is National Lampoons Christmas Vacation. Chevy will be forever remembered as Clark W. Griswald. He not only loves Christmas lights, but enjoys cavort­ ing with sales-women, uprooting trees, driving under log trucks, sled­ ding at Mach II, fighting off cousin Eddie, horribly singing carols and trying not to burn down his house. Fourth on the list is The Three Amigos. Nothing evokes uncontrol­ lable laughter more than seeing Chevy in a sequin Mariachi suit. Even more disturbing is the pom­ pom edged sombrero that he wears with pride. Chevy fights valiantly bad for the good guys, but never gets the girl. Last is Spies Like Us. This cold war comedy shows the struggle of two incompetent military spies. Chevy prevents nuclear war by pos­ ing as an extra terrestrial and taking over a Soviet rocket base. Chevy's bumbling antics eventually lead him to a high government position, which is not far from the truth these days. Syphon what wisdom and knowledge you can from Chevy, because an artist of his caliber does­ n't come around too often.

Ellensburg that offer bingo. "We do enjoy having college students (play bingo)," Sandra Johnson, manager of Washington State Jaycees, said. "A college student from Eastern (Washington University) won $500 last year. He was very excited." The Washington State Jaycees Headquarters, located at 601 E. Mt. View (across the street from Bi-Mart), conducts bingo on Mondays and Wednesdays at 6:20 p.m., doors open at 5:15. It is a non-smoking facility and Johnson said they get a lot of players because of it. The Jaycees offer a basic, which is a packet of sheets for every game played, for $13. For that $13, players have a chance to win $30 in the 12 regular games, $300 can be won in two games and one game has a possible payoff of a whopping $500. The big money can be made in Bonanza. For 50 cents a card, players have to get a blackout with­ in a certain amount of numbers. Johnson said the Bonanza pot is currently at $1325. The Eagles Lodge No... 2220 on 301 W. 4th, lets the dauber ink fly on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 6:30 p.m. The price of a basic at the Eagles is $12 and that includes a bound packet of the reg­ ular bingo games, five loose throw- aways and two Bonanzas. Bingo daubers, which are a must, can be purchased for around $ 1.50. The pots in each bingo game at the Eagles Lodge pay between $25 and $35. Some games on the throw-aways go on to blackout and pay $50 or more. Bonanza is $6000 if a blackout occurs in 52 Kelly Christensen/Observer Thursday night is "bingo night" for some Central students. numbers or less.

Geography club maps out new activities by Gina Emburey Staff reporter Keeping students involved is the geography club's goal. "We're one of the most active clubs as far as I'm concerned," Bruce Seivertson, faciltating advi­ sor said. The clubs next event is Geographic Awareness Week, which is a program where the club goes into the local elementary schools and teaches students about geography. "We want the kids to know geography is a lot more than just names and places," Student Senate Representative Matt Morton said. The club also has many activities for everyone to enjoy. Each Wednesday from 9 a.m. to noon, they have a bake sale inside Lind Hall. They sell goodies ranging from espresso fudge brownies to chocolate chip cookies, Seivertson said. Sponsoring monthly speakers is another activi­ ty open to all. Every month the club has a speaker from around the world talk about their experiences. Speakers from the past include ones from the Grand Canyon and Ecuador. The turnout for the speakers always seems to be great with an average of 50 people attending The club is also preparing for a trip to San Francisco during spring break. The trip is open to all club members. More information can be obtained in the geography department. An ongoing project started this quarter is the Wilson Creek clean-up project. The club planted trees at the creek and now maintains them on a reg­ ular basis. Even though the club does geography type activities, not all of them relate to geography. Oct. 3 the club had a golf tournament with a barbecue afterwards. About 90 people attended making it a fantastic turn-out. If interested in attending meetings to find out about other exciting events, the club meets every Monday 6 p.m. at The Grill House.

If you're an Everclear fan, you will have a few reasons to get excited about So Much for the Afterglow. One, you have a new CD to listen to, and two, the band's sound hasn't changed much since their mega hit Sparkle and Fade. I'm not really an Everclear fan. I've heard their stuff, but they never impressed me enough to spend money on a CD. I will admit though, I caught myself jammin' in the car to a few songs off their last album, like "Heroin Girl" and "Santa Monica." So Much for the Afterglow, Everclear's third and latest album, has some good tracks. But there are also a few the band could've left out. Or changed. Or made better. Or altered in some way. Their sound is the same, but all-around, I would have to say So Much for the Afterglow is more mellow than their previous album. Credit must be given to the lads, though. It must be stressful to release another album after such an enormous hit such as Sparkle and Fade, which basically put their name on the musical map. The first track, which was also the title, wasn't bad. In fact, it was pretty rockin'. I was thinking, 'OK, these guys aren't that bad.' But besides "So Much for the Afterglow" and a couple other tunes like "Amphetamine" and my favorite track, "Why I Don't Believe in God," which adds a dif­ ferent sound to the album with banjos and unique rhythms, I thought the album needed more variety and faster, harder sounds. They've shown they are capa­ ble of rocking, and that was more of what I was expecting. I could­ n't figure out why they stopped on this album. The rest of the songs were just...there. It's the same old Everclear sound, but a bit softer. It seemed these poor guys had a rough couple of years. And, the first four or five songs are pretty much about getting your heart trampled on by a girl, who appar­ ently had quite a few problems of her own. OK, just one more complaint then I'll lay off. Everclear needs to fill empty space in their songs with something other than 'yeah.' We'd all be rich if a nickel was handed out everytime it was said. Occasionally, we were blessed with an 'oh yeah.' Thanks guys. Well who the heck cares what I think anyway. Check out So Much for the Afterglow for yourselves at Rodeo Records. Catherine Wheel spins out new material by Cory Rikard Asst. Scene editor As I was perusing the finely stocked shelves of Rodeo Records, my eyes strained from scanning the seemingly endless rows of compact discs. Looking for just the right album can be difficult, but I soon found what I was looking for. Catherine Wheel, yes, another British band, practically jumped from shelf-to-hand in one motion and I knew this one was money. Their new album, Adam and Eve, can make any rainy Saturday a little bit sunny. I will admit to being a tad biased when selecting this one.

Their music is free-flowing and generous. Catherine Wheel have an endless amount of variety to their tunes and it seems to always show in their recordings. Lead singer and rhythm guitarist Rob Dickinson has an amazing voice and set the backdrop for fellow band- mates Dave Hawes, bass, Brian Futter, guitars, and Neil Sims on drums. Amazing chords make this album one of their finest to date. The best song on the disk, entitled "Delicious," has been rolling its way to the top of the charts, with many more of the songs on their way to greatness. I remember seeing this fantastic band in concert several times and thinking they must be lip-synching because no band sounds this good live. As it turns out, they didn't pull off a Milli-Vanilli, they are just fan­ tastic artists on and off stage. This album has been getting plen­ ty of air time on the radio, and right­ fully so. If more word gets out on Catherine Wheel, expect to see them at the music awards very soon. As I said before, this beauty is available at Rodeo Records, and there is a bonus as well.

They play Western at 9 a.m., Saturday, at home. t Rugby reigns in home opener by Joshua Cooley Sports editor Central Rugby maintained its dominant stature over Oregon's Reed College and the University of Washington with home victories last Saturday. The women trounced Reed 27-7 and the men defeated the Dawgs 24-7. Both teams play next weekend. The men start at 9 a.m., and the women play after the men. The pitch is the field adjacent to Tomlinson stadium. Reed has defeated Central only once in the last three years. Central and Reed were the best teams in the league three years ago, and since then they've been fierce rivals. Aggressiveness permeated play last Saturday. " "They are just as aggressive as we are," sec­ ond row Keegan Fengler said. "There was some hard hits in that game." Fly half Shawna Hronek said Reed seemed weaker than usual, though. "They let us down," she said. "In past years they were really good. Usually they come out a lot stronger. They were playing real sloppy ball." Western may pose more problems for the women than Reed. "They always give us a run for our money," Hronek said. Last season, Central defeated Western to win the league. "They really want to get us back," Hronek said. UW is a big Wildcat men's rugby rival. "It really started about four years ago when Central first came into the league," Ryan Bishop said. "It's been a back and forth battle." But the Wildcats didn't have any major problems with UW Saturday. Scoring trys for the Wildcats were Scott Anderson, Jim Schmutzler and Scott McRaith. Ryan Bishop added two conversion kicks for two points. Central's men plan on steamrolling Western this weekend. "We're looking to run all over them," Bishop said. "We generally handle them pretty easily." Since Western has 30 players on their men's ^ We're looking to run Ryan Bishop all over them. squad they'll be playing two games Saturday. But they have to finish in time to allow the women to play, because both rugby teams have to clear the field before Noon. The reason for the noon departure is because the football game starts on the next field at 1 p.m. V:c s r.

"Our goal , is to win the nation­ al championship," head coach Greg Sparling said. "If we work hard and play together we can make it back to Tulsa." It's not going to be easy for the Wildcats. First they have to replace Willie Thomas, an Ail-American and confer­ ence valuable player, and first team all-conference point guard Todd Nealy. To do that, Sparling and his coaching staff recruited junior forward Jabari Anderson, a former Mcdonald's Ail- American from Los Angeles junior guard Simon Dubiel, from Bellingham and freshman point guard Justin Bursch, from Spokane, Jo go along with the returning players. , "Our seniors and older players are going to have to step up and Help out our younger players," Sparling said. "Hopefully somebody can step up like Willie did last year and lead us. The good thing is we have more depth this year." The 'Cats will be undermanned going into their opener against Division I Washington State University on Nov. 14. Central will be without Anderson and 6'7" senior Leon Johnson. Anderson is. recovering from ankle surgery and will be out of action for the next two to three weeks. . : Johnson is also recovering from an ankle . This year is no different. The schedule includes Division I Eastern Washington University. In addition Central will face the Blue Angels traveling team, comprised of for­ mer collegiate players including Thomas and Nealy. "The tougher the schedule earlier on the bet­ ter you will be later on down the road," Sparling said. "If you face weaker teams in pre­ season, you won't get the job done later on in conference play." This must be true for the Wildcats. Last sea­ son they went into the national tournament with a mediocre record but beat two teams with more than 20 victories, showing that having a tough pre­ season schedule does pay off. The Wildcats are not always the biggest team on the court, so hard work is the key for them. "We have and Xsvs'X'XvNvX-:-:-:' will play harder than any team we face," assis tant coach Mike Burns said. "Last year's players know to play hard and they are passing that tradition on to the new play- Last season the Wildcats were picked to finish near the bottom of the Pacific Northwest Athletic Conference. This season they're the favorites to repeat as champi­ ons. We feel like we have no stress to win the conference," Sparling said. "Whoever peaks at the end will win the conference title. The league competition is better this year. I feel us, Simon Fraser, Western and L-C State are the top four teams in conference." The coaches in the conference are not the injury and will be out of action for the next cou- only ones who think the Wildcats are good, pie of weeks. In this year's Street and Smith's college "We'll probably use a four-guard line-up basketball magazine, the Wildcats are listed as against WSU and make their big men come out one of the top 12 NAIA teams in the country. and chase us," Sparling said. Returners Tyce Nasinec and Eric Davis are also coming off of ankle injuries, but both will be in the line-up for the season opener. Historically, Central has taken on a tough preseason schedule. 'This is going to be one of the most exciting and entertaining seasons in Central's history," forward Jabari Anderson said, "so reserve your tickets to Tulsa early." The Wildcats face the alumni Saturday at 7 p.m. in Nicholson Pavilion. . Women's team prepares for a tough season It's time for a new era in Central women's basketball. "Forget about what you've seen or heard about in the past, this year is a totally different women's basketball team," assistant coach Merle McLain said. New head coach Jeff Whitney brought in four recruits along with the return of Stephanie Bergstrom, who missed last season due to a knee injury, and former all-conference play­ er Nicole Trammell has returned to the Wildcat line-up after taking a year off from the sport. "Trammell is going to step in and be the big scorer we need on a consis­ tent basis," Whitney said. "We're not going to make her it, we've got other players who can also put numbers on ihe board for us/' . Central has a sibling combination on this year's roster. - Whitney brought in freshman guard Kristen Willis, younger sister of senior guard Jill Willis. "With the fix of new talent and plus the strong returning players, this can be one of the strongest, teams we've had in the last ten years," Whitney said. "With these people Wildcat basketball can be something special." * Even though the season has not started yet, the players can already see changes from last year's team. "This year we're more focused, the coaching staff is keeping us on the ball, our intensity is a lot Higher," senior forward Wendy Roberts said. "Our goal is to get to Tennessee." The women are making significant changes on the court this season. "This year's team is much stronger*" Whitney said. "Last year the players went into the games not thinking they would always win, this year we believe we can win." "The guys talk about working hard all year long, we believe in the same philosophy," Whitney said. "If we work hard, we will be one of the hard­ est teams in the nation to beat this year." / Now HIRING FOR TH T997-98 SNOW SEASON ON SNOQUALMIE PASS COME SEE US NOVEMBER 5TH IN THE S.U.B.

'Cat volleyball quick stats 1997 team leaders are Sarah Carney with 341 kills, 328 digs and 38 aces, and Alison Klotz with 28 blocks. by Jason Gaylord Staff reporter On Halloween night the ghosts and goblins haunted the Wildcats volleyball team and they fell to Lewis-Clark State College in three consecutive games at Nicholson Pavilion. "Our effort was good throughout the game, we just didn't execute," Mario Andaya, head coach, said. "We played well at times, but we had a hard time stopping the long runs by L-C State." With the game tied 5-5 in the first game of the » match, L-C State sprinted away and the Wildcats couldn't stop the bleeding. The game was fought hard from start to finish, but costly errors prevented the women from making the match close. Outside hitter Tara Rattray led with a team- high 17 kills and zero errors and setter Joy Birsch played through a chin injury to add 39 assists. "We traded kill for kill with those guys," Andaya said. "We just made too many mistakes. If we want to make mistakes we need to play much better." As of now the Wildcat's fate has not been deter­ mined (results were not available at press time). Heading into last night's match against cross-state rival Western Washington the women controlled their own playoff destiny. With a win they head into playoff action, with a loss the season is over. Football team victorious in California by Dan Hanken and Ryan Leopold Staff reporters The 23rd ranked Wildcats won in California for the first time ever last Saturday, beating non-con- ference opponent Asuza Pacific, 28-7. Central's defense held Asuza Pacific to minus- four yards rushing and sacked Asuza quarterbacks eight times. "We stopped their rush­ ing game early and forced them to pass," freshman defensive end John Fields Central vs. Western 1 p.m., Saturday, Nov. 8, Tomlinson Stadium. said. "The entire defense stepped up big this week." The 'Cats improved to 4-3 for the season. They could capture an at large bid into the post­ season with victories in their last two games. Last Saturday, the 'Cats struck pay dirt first on a 64-yard touchdown toss from junior quarterback Casey Jacox to sophomore wide receiver Ty Nunez on their first play from scrim­ mage to take an early 7-0 lead. The Cougars retaliated later in the first.quarter on a 47-yard touchdown reception to tie the game. Then the defenses of both teams took over. Both offenses became stagnant and failed to pro­ duce points the rest of the half. Jacox completed 5 of 13 pass attempts and was benched midway through the second quarter. Junior backup quarter­ back Sean McCoy replaced Jacox in the second, but he didn't provide any sparks. "Coach Zamberlin gave us an inspirational speech at halftime," sophomore running back Dan Murphy said. "He got the whole team fired up, on offense and defense." In the third quarter, with Jacox back in at quar­ terback, the 'Cats explod­ ed for three unanswered touchdown runs by Murphy to seal the win for the Wildcats. 'Cat Football Quick Stats Central is ranked 20th in this week's NAIA national poll. Running back Dan Murphy ran for 96 yards on 16 carries against Azusa Pacific. He's racked up 648 yards and 12 touchdowns in seven games. Murphy is ranked sixth in scoring in this week's NAIA nation al football stats. Defensive Linemen Scott Morgan and Jason Woods combined for four sacks and seven tackles for losses en-route to CFA co-defensive-player-of-the-week honors.
