An hour after the Board of Trustees (BOT) meeting adjourned Friday, Djordge Popovic, Carter jkt, Stefan McKenney and Gina Wade began distributing fliers that asked "Fascism at Central?" around campus. The fliers urged con­ cerned students and faculty to meet and discuss the issue. "This all started when we noticed student and faculty input is not welcomed on this cam­ pus," Popovic said. "They solicit our opinions, but they never seriously engage and listen to our answers." Group members said their main concern was the treatment faculty members received from the BOT at the last board meeting. They said the BOT ignored faculty input and had not allowed concerned faculty speak at the public meeting. They even suggested the BOT had mocked faculty members at the meeting. "We didn't just wake up one morning and decide that we wanted to do this," Wade said. "There was a breaking point, and that was the BOT meeting last Friday."

Trustees say no to collective bargaining by Carrina Galloway ' Staff reporter Friday, the Board of Trustees (BOT) voted 7-0 not to recognize collective bargain­ ing at Central. "Is this (decision) a surprise? No." Peggy Holmes of the UFC said. "Are there other avenues? Yes, and we will pursue those avenues." The BOT did vote to accept Faculty Senate Chair John Alsoszatai-Petheo collec­ tive bargaining proposal however, by modi­ fying the language of the motion, the BOT in effect ended collective bargaining. Alsoszatai's motion had been approved pre­ viously by the faculty senate at its Oct. 7 meeting. The original form of the fourth option stated 'The Board of Trustees commits itself to engage and continue to engage in mean­ ingful, positive, and good faith dialog with the representatives of Central's faculty based on the principals of real, shared gover­ nance...." Before accepting this new option as the choice for Theme 5, the BOT made one change: the term "faculty senate" was substi­ tuted for "Central's faculty" in this statement. After this change was made, the BOT unani­ mously accepted the faculty senate's propos- See FACULTY, Page 3 Thursday Night Fights sparks interest in issues by Paul Lohse News editor Candidates for state office will debate three controversial ballot measures tonight as part of the Thursday Night Fights program sponsored by the Office of Residential Services. 13th District Senatorial candidates J.T.

"When people go to the polls, people need to know what the issues are," Winstanley said. Students will have the opportuni­ ty to meet with the candidates and register to vote after the debate. "I think that more people can become involved," Jeremy Kelley, Central's legislative liaison, said. "Students will be able to explore political, religious and social issues at Thursday Night Fights." fri' CONCERNS: students voice Continued from Page 1 Many in attendance had come in support of the four organizers of the gathering, but there were those in opposition. ASCWU BOD mem­ ber Kristy Gillespie asked the students what they hoped to accomplish after the BOT had already made their decision? She criticised that they had not gotten involved in the issue before the BOT meeting took place. "Why are you educating after the fact?" Kristy Gillespie asked. "Speaking as an edu­ cated student I don't know how you wouldn't know that (the Board of Trustees) meeting was taking place, there were signs up all over cam­ pus.!' Besides concerned and curious students, ASCWU officers, as well as student trustee Amy Gillespie were in attendance. Hearing that the student trustee was in attendence, audi­ ence members demanded Amy Gillespie explain why she had voted against collective bargaining. "My opinion on the issue of morale on this campus is very strong," she said. "I think a dia­ log needs to take place and I feel strongly that the motion the Board of Trustees passed is a step toward that." Faculty members and adminstrators came and went throughout the event. Many stayed in the background to listen, but a few spoke. Patricia Garrison, co-chair of the United Faculty of Central, answered student concerns that the faculty might strike over the collective bargaining issue. She said faculty want to talk with the BOT and administration about their concerns, but they are trying to avoid a strike. "That's not what we want at all," Garrison said. "If you strike, you've got nothing else to lose." 1994 - Central's President Ivory Nelson and the Board of Trustees (BOT) deny Central faculty collective bargaining until the state legislature has decided on the issue. The United Faculty of Central is created. 1995 - The BOT refuses to sponsor a fac­ ulty vpte on unionization. 1996 - The BOT meets with faculty members to address the issue of low faculty morale and expressed a willingness to con­ tinue to meet with United Faculty (UFC) members. 1997 - The BOT still converses with UFC members but is unwilling to sponsor faculty vote on unionization. Seventy-four percent of Central faculty vote in favor of unionization. UFC elects officers and pre­ pares to formally discuss unionization with the BOT. 1998 - BOT and UFC members attend workshops about collective bargaining and continue to meet on the subject. BOT is unwilling to make a decision. In October, the BOT decides on an option for Theme 5 that names the faculty senate as the official representative of Central faculty to the BOT.

vm'V Oct 15, 1998— News — Observer- KCWU not on air yet, maybe January by Kristen Schwab Staff reporter Despite setbacks, Chris Hull, KCWU general manager, said he hopes to have the university radio station broadcasting in Kittitas Valley by next year. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) approved KCWU's broadcasting request last March. For the last three and a half years the station had been working to obtain an FCC broadcast license to switch from cable to the tower. Hull said despite initially hoping to be on the airwaves this fall, legal and technical requirements involved in switching from cable to the air­ waves has set the project back. "I'd like to say, yeah, we'll be on by January," Hull said. "But I'm not going to guarantee it. There's a lot going on." KCWU hired a structural engi­ neer this summer to examine the integrity of the station's new 500 watt tower on Pfenning Road and is trying to purchase the equipment the station will need. "Before I put an antenna on the tower I want to make sure it's struc­ turally strong enough to hold," Hull said. 'There's been a lot more hoops to jump through than I originally planned." Earlier in the year, KQBE wres­ tled with city zoning requirements- because the tower hadn't been used for several years, the zoning require­ ments changed. After switching to the tower, the signal will reach all of Ellensbuig and most of Kittitas Valley, which has just under 1,800 possible listen­ ers. "I'm extremely excited and I think all the DJs are, too," Noelle Trolio, English major and KCWU program director, said. "Being able to reach Ellensburg and Kittitas County will drastically increase our sponsorship." KCWU is the only radio station in Ellensburg and Kittitas County that broadcasts 24 hours a day, seven days a week, live. After the switch has been made the station plans to expand their news and public affairs features. "We have some just kick ass DJs that'll get up at three in the morning to pull a shift," Trolio said. "We have some really dedicated people." Despite the setbacks, KCWU is still anticipating hitting the airwaves. "We've been planning for this for many, many, years," Trolio said. "Right now getting the transmitter is the difficult part. I think flipping the switch to 88.1 is going to be a breeze." For now, however, KCWU can be heard with a cable on FM 91.5. Direction is Everything X . . *- V.

The well-meaning facilitators stood before roughly 100 concerned members of Central's student body and faculty with the intention of explanation and dis­ cussion. The facilitators were met with questions that forced them to back-up a step ... or two. One student, who stood toward the back of the crowd, asked if students were allowed to attend BOT meetings. After he was told that students could attend, because it is an open meeting, he asked what would happen if 50 students went to the meeting? Would they be allowed in, he asked. Another student asked who were the student representatives to the BOT? After discovering who the student representa­ tives where, another concerned student asked how the stu­ dent trustee had voted on the issue. When told how Amy Gillespie voted, the student abruptly responded by asking how Gillespie could be removed from office. If this wasn't bad enough, a short-lived witch hunt carried on, the waves of applause erupted. Some of the students who applauded Gillespie's removal could not have possibly recognized her name five minutes before. They obviously did not recognize her face because she was seated in the audience right.in front of them. . The discussion did clarify the issues at hand for most of the students. Unfortunately those issues were at times over­ shadowed by basic questions most students should already have the answers for. What is collective bargaining? Who is the BOT? Can I attend BOD meetings? We at the Observer believe that all students should be educated about issues on campus that will potentially effect them. The administration, the faculty, student government, and even the Observer should take greater strides in expos­ ing Central students to the university's decision making channels. Because if students don't know the difference between the BOD and the BOT, it may as well be B.S. to them. Invitation to be heard The Observer editors and staff would like to encourage our readers to respond on issues regarding campus and our Central community. The letters to the editor forum exists for our readers. While reflecting upon past experience (particu­ larly last year) with this section, we noticed that a handful of voices seamed to dominate our letters to the editor section. Although we continue to look forward to input from those few, we also would like to hear what the rest of campus has to say. T"' So feel free to drop us a line. We want to hear from our readers. In respect to fairness and space, please keep your letters to 300 words or less.

Wanis Nadir, CTS worker CTS employee offers assistance to all I am responding to your letter in the Observer because I'm tired of hearing about all the bad things with the computer labs, which I help maintain. I understand yours and others, frustrations with the new computer system. But one must understand that this system was a must in order to provide applications, e-mail and the Internet for students. The new system will enable CWU to provide the lat­ est technology for students, who will encounter technology in the real world. I do believe that there have been mistakes made by CTS. First, they didn't have a plan in place to correct the problems. Second, they didn't test the new system long enough. Lastly, they should have set up vari­ ous workshops for the professors and students. But with the two hew build­ ings and the given time, I believe that the situation could have been much worse. Well, I guess I could go on and on about a whole bunch of other stuff but I won't. Anyway this is what I'm offering you and anyone on, campus including professors: I will give any amount of workshops that you want or need in order to show the campus just how simple it is to use the new computer system. I am also willing to answer questions that people have about using the system. I will demon­ strate how to use the system with a MAC and PC. From what I have been seeing a majority of the prob­ lems lie with the users. Please let me know if this is of interest to you or anyone else. I am here to help anyone.

Observer — Opinion — Oct. 15, 1998 Initiative 200 is a giant step in the wrong direction The end of Affirmative Action may come about in this state when Initiative 200, the Washington State Civil Rights Initiative, is put before voters next month. I'm writing to convince you to vote no on 1-200 this November on the ballot and support Affirmative Action here in Washington. The bill, which is worded pretty much identical to California's Proposition 209, states "(Washington) shall not discriminate against, or grant preferential treatment to, any individual or group on the basis of race, sex, color, ethnicity or national origin in the oper­ ation of public employment, public education or public contracting." At first glance, this bill sounds pretty good. And that's why most people's first incli­ nation, after hearing the words no dis­ crimination or preferential treatment, will be to vote yes. And I know a lot of people who sup­ port Initiative 200 on that same premise they believe Affirmative Action has done its job and is no longer necessary. They think that when you're hiring someone for a job, you shouldn't have to deal with race, you should hire people based on their qualifications. But there's a major problem with this point of view. We're not living in a perfect world, and people aren't treated as equals. Discrimination, prejudice and racism are still out there in oilr soci­ ety — people still face it. Even with Affirmative Action, people are still turned down for jobs all the time because of the color of their skin, cul­ ture or sex. I know some of you may be think­ ing, why should people get opportuni­ ties I don't get just because they're a woman or a minority? That's a good question to ask. That's the question at the heart of the issue. Should the law give certain peo­ ple preferential treatment because of the way they look? The answer is yes, it should. All Affirmative Action really does is get people through the door. It does­ n't give them any other opportunities or perks. It doesn't make it easier for David them, it just Henderson levels the playing field. Look at the facts. We live in a world where prejudice and dis­ crimination are common — in every aspect of life — from the workplace to the playground. And people are still judged by their appearance. If you look at the numbers in Washington state, you'll see the need for Affirmative Action programs. According to the 1997 Federal Glass Ceiling Report, white men make up 43 percent of the national work force, but hold 95 percent of all senior management positions. In Washington state, women represent 51 percent of the work force but only 37 percent of the managers. In the 1970s, Guest columnist black unemployment was twice as high as white unemployment. In the 1980s, it was two and a half times as high. In the 1990s, it is almost three times as high. Washington state statistics confirm that 60 percent of the people in Washington will be affected by a repeal of Affirmative Action. Affirmative Action is needed so tal­ ented and hard working professionals aren't counted out because of some­ thing trivial like the color of their skin. Qualified women and minorities were denied jobs and educational opportuni­ ties in the past. For example, it wasn't until 25 years ago that Title IX required law and medical schools to admit women. Today over half of all law stu­ dents are women. If 1-200 passes, individuals would be left out. People of color and women would be excluded from job interviews and degree programs more readily. At their leisure employers could turn down people they didn't like the "looks" of. The assumption that we have accomplished everything that Affirmative Action programs set out to do is wrong. People are still discrimi­ nated against because of the color of their skin, culture and sex. If 1-200 is voted in this November, people in the state of Washington will be treated as equals, according to the law. But racism will continue to exist. People will con­ tinue to be judged on their appearance rather than their abilities. And, there will be nothing to keep prejudice and discrimination in check. Please vote no on 1-200 this fall.

Observer — Opinion — Oct. 15, 1998 Continued from Page 7 Sports editors judgment challenged I am writing you in order to address some basic weaknesses I see in Toby Staab's critique (which appeared in his "Editor's random thoughts" column on October 8th, 1998) of Campus Life's fall intra­ mural sports program. Staab vaguely complains about the lack of publicity for said program, yet he fails to go beyond sophomorically blaming the situation on a "lack of information." Students at this university are independent and motivated individu­ als. If they are genuinely interested in on-campus athletic activities, they will have the intelligence to seek out this information without the need of blatant advertising. To say that the problem lies in the advertising implies that the bulk of the student body is incapable of- independently seeking out recreational outlets. Did you, Mr. Staab, contact Campus Life before publicly attack­ ing them? Why was there no solution in your column to accompany this dilemma? You acknowledge the signs posted around campus what more should be done in the future to ame­ liorate these students who are cur­ rently being forced to enjoy fall intra- murals from the sidelines? Who was it you said had the problem convey­ ing their concerns relation to the sports programs? Campus Life strives to consider all student recreational concerns, regardless of whether they pertain to sports, entertainment, or other activi­ ties. Perhaps next time such com­ plaints are made public, all sides of the problem should be considered and investigated in lieu of passive and one-sided solipsism. Joshua Lumsden sophomore, French major Gay student's death hits home What horrible news about the gay student in Wyoming.

Since a lot of people seem to be under the misconception that gay men are constantly hitting on straight men, I feel the need to address the issue. Straight guys: If you think a gay guy is hitting on you, THINK AGAIN. Maybe he's just being friendly or maybe he's just being playfully flirtatious. Don't assume a sexual intent that may not even be there. Just because a gay guy strikes up a conversation with you touches your arm, smiles and winks at you, or even invites you over to play video games, doesn't mean he's trying to get you in the sack. Work past your discomfort and try talking about it with him. Tell him you're straight. You'll likely find there was never any sexual intent on his part. But even if he actually is hitting on you, it's really not that big a deal. Keep in mind that he can't tell you're straight just by looking at you. He's probably hoping you're gay, too. And believe it or not, if a gay man finds you attractive, you can bet that women do too, so why not take it as a compliment? Tell him you're flat­ tered but straight. In the unlikely event he persists, just say "Listen, I'm not gay and I'm not interested. You need to respect that." In other words, treat him exactly as a lesbian would treat you under similar circumstances. Bret Palm student Protester disheartened by lack of courtesy Sensing the euphoria and a feel­ ing of triumph that intoxicated our administrators last Thursday, I found it necessary to remind our communi­ ty of certain conditions on campus that are no matter of pride. In partic­ ular, I am alarmed by the administra­ tion's refusal to involve students or faculty in formal decision making processes. This is what happened: First: I was standing with my sign when a man approached me. He said that I should put my sign away as to avoid hitting anybody. I assured him that I would raise it high enough so that no one would be in any danger. The man growled, "You better put that sign down. I'll make sure you don't walk around with that sign." I found out later that he was the Chief of Campus Police: Officer Rittereiser. Second: One of the administrators looked at my sign, and said "Do you even know what a 'facade' is?" then walked on. What kind of opinion does one have to have of students, in order to make such a comment? Does the administration think that we are stupid, manipulated, lazy, malevo­ lent, superficial and capricious? Third: I was standing in Black Hall, when President Nelson finally approached me. Here, I would like to give Dr. Nelson credit, for he was the only administrator that sincerely inquired. But, President Nelson was quick to lose my respect. As I was explaining my agenda, he dismissed me. He told me that the beauty of the university is that one can freely express oneself in a civil manner, and we are allowed to disagree. "Well," I said, "if you think this is so, you should probably talk to your Chief of Police." President Nelson retreated, waving his hands and mumbling.

Jacqueline Tracey/ Observer by Jessica Terrel Staff reporter In a closed geometrical world, a flame reflects the effect of a close encounter of a different mind. Charles Stokes, an alumnus of Central and native of Tacoma, is well known throughout Washington and New York art galleries for his creative art paintings. Stokes was an artist instructor at Cornish School of Arts for 14 years and has worked with and earned the respect of Northwest artists. Stokes was the first winner of the Betty Bowen Prize (from the Seattle Art Museum's annual endorsement of a single regional artist), in 1993. After winning Stokes withdrew from his affiliations in Seattle and went into seclusion in New York City. "I do not do artwork, I create art­ work from my transformed mind," Stokes said. "The time span of creat­ ing a good painting that has distance, time and uniqueness can take up to five years. I don't care if I show my artwork or not, just to survive is enough, also I do not like being in the spotlight about my artwork." "In regards to my creativity, I use a combination of illusions from the mind, Northwest style, vibrant use of color and layers, myth, nature, geometrical patterns, calligraphy, crystalline geometry and other world cultures to enhance all of my paint­ ings," Stokes said. Cathy Nisbet, assistant gallery director of the Sarah Spurgeon Art Gallery, said, "Stokes paintings are refined, serious and take you into his paintings as you view them." The Sarah Spurgeon Art Gallery in Randall Hall is open for the view­ ing of Charles Stokes' paintings until Oct. 30. There is a I5-minute video available to watch describes Stokes' paintings. The hours of the exhibit are 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday, and Saturdays, noon to 3 p.m. The exhibit has been made pos­ sible through the generosity of pri­ vate collectors, William Merchant Pease of Seattle and Jim Sahlstrand, the art director at Central.

Even Ellensburg can't help but jump, jive and wail. The dance styles Lindy Hop and subsequent spin-off, East Coast Swing, emerged out of the 1930s and '40s but lay dormant for many years. Critics give Royal Crown Revue the credit for being the head- liners in the revival in southern California. "I am more of a fan of the old original swing songs but I'm glad there is a new popularity in it these days," said Dorthy Menzel, a junior elementary education major. New bands have emerged, are now on the charts and touring, throughout the nation. The more popular revival bands today are the Brian Setzer Orchestra, Cherry Poppin' Daddies and Big Bad Voodoo Daddy who appeared on the recent film, "Swingers." Other new bands now making it big include British swing band Fast Six and Indigo Swing who played two shows in Seattle on Oct. 10 and 11. "I really like the new bands because they brought swing back," Kadie Ott, a junior in English, said. Central's die-hard swing dancers are sometimes forced to drive.to Seattle. for swing clubs because Ellensburg does not have a great variety of clubs. "Apart from the upcoming big band -Homecoming dance, Central students are at a disadvantage because of the lack of swing dancing opportunities in Ellensburg," Carinn Eckis, a junior in music education, said. Music professor Thomas Gause will direct the jazz band at this year's big band Homecoming dance. The dance will be held from 7:30 p.m. to 11 p.m. Oct. 23 at the SUB Ballroom. 'The dance is a great opportunity for people who like to dance to be able to do it in front of a live band," Gause said. UNDER CHIROPRACTIC CENTER OR. MYRON UNDER DR. SANDY LINDER DR.

II Observer — Scene — Oct. 15, 1998 WHATS NEW AROUND TOWN by Claire Hein Staff reporter "Hickville" and "Cowtown" may soon be nicknames of the past Ellensburg is changing its look with five new buildings being con­ structed or newly completed within a seven block area around Main Street. One of the new buildings is located on the corner of Ninth and Water streets, behind Happy's Market. The mostly gray brick build­ ing will be office space. Argus Insurance and Bivens, Johnson and Wilson, Certified Public Accountants (CPA) are temporarily located in portable offices next to the construction site. The two firms will be housed in the new office space when it is com­ pleted. Lee Bivens, senior partner at Bivens, Johnson and Wilson, said moving from their old location behind Safeway has both advan­ tages and disadvantages. 'The new office will have less space, but our old location had a lot of unused space," Bivens said. "Location isn't really an issue for us as long as parking is available." Another new office complex, owned by Kelley Realty, is located on the corner of Main and Sixth streets. Presently, the south and mid­ dle sections of the building are being leased. The north section is still under construction. Studio 438, a beauty salon, is one of the businesses leasing space in the new building. Dani Welton, receptionist at Studio 438, said increased space allowed them to expand their services. "We think it's a great move, especially with the space and exposure," Welton said. "We've been able to add a massage therapist, body wraps and a tanning bed because of the extra space. We're really enjoying it." Located on the corner of Third and Pearl streets, the new Kittitas Valley Realty Building is scheduled to open this fall. The new building will include a customer service center, full real estate client services in 5,000 square-feet offices and a private 23- space parking lot. Debra Clerf, owner of Kittitas Valley Realty , said the new building would show the firm's commitment to Ellensburg. "The new location is easier to find, closer to the title companies, courthouse and downtown iKiWsSss •xmtM ¥:5SS*5 Matthew Worden/ Observer Kittitas County Realty is building now on the corner of Third and Pearl historical district," Clerf said. "We are excited about everything." Clerf expects the building to be completed around Thanksgiving. The Ellensburg Moose Lodge No. 494 is being rebuilt after collapsing under heavy snow their new building is located on Main and Third Streets, between the China Inn Restaurant and the Rodeo City Barbecue. Merrill Greenlee, acting administrator for the Ellensburg Moose Lodge, said the main advantages to the new building would be lower costs and versatility. "Our new build­ ing will have lower maintenance costs, three areas for func­ tions, a separate lounge and a two- function kitchen," Greenlee said. "Everybody's anx­ ious. It's always nice to move into a new building." Kim Leang, co-owner of Kim's Gemstones, owns the building being con­ structed on Main and Second Streets, between Dean's Muffler, Brake and Transmission and the Home Furniture Store. The building has three office spaces sched­ uled to be completed sometime in November, one of which will be occupied by Kim's Gemstones. Feng Leang, co-owner of Kim's Gemstones and son of Kim Leang, said the move from 109 West Third to the new location could only help business. "In our current location, we get business by Matthew Worden/ Observer The new Moose Lodge is now under construction. word of mouth," Feng Leang said. "Main Street will allow us more exposure with tourists just traveling through and people from all over." As for the effect the new businesses will have on Central students, Will Hicks, a senior in nutrition and dietetics, doesn't think the new buildings will affect students directly. "The new buildings show that people are thinking of Ellensburg more as a city, rather than just a college town." With the exception of the Moose Lodge, the new buildings will be office spaces for profes­ sional services and other small businesses. New restaurants add spice to local color by Jennifer Leadon Staff reporter Pounding the pavement in Ellensburg, hoping to find something new and exciting, is now a thing of the past. Some of Ellensburg's restaurants and other establishments are either new or improved. Papa Murphy's - 205 W. Tacoma 962-9282 Papa Murphy's Take 'n' Bake pizza opened on Sept. 8.

Oct. 15,1998 — Scene — Observer Ropes, hiking boots and a compass build unity in a by David Simmons Staff reporter Students who prefer sitting and taking notes to repelling off cliffs need not apply. The Military Science 101, introduction to ROTC class at Central gives cadets basic train­ ing in physical activities and helps build self- confidence, leadership skills and group skills. Best of all, there's no military obligation when taking the class. "There's not a point where I've ever regret­ ted doing it," Ellie Hanson, a sophomore cadet majoring in music education, said. "It's defi­ nitely an experience everyone should try." Army ROTC is a course of study that gives students information about the military as well as some practical experience in physical skills. On Sept. 26 the ROTC class visited Lion's Rock, about a 20 minute drive north of cam­ pus, to practice repelling off cliffs. Cadets began repelling from 30 feet up, then moved up to heights of 90 and then 120 feet. Walking backward off a 30-foot cliff gives cadets confidence that they can rappel, then they move to greater heights. "I have a total fear of heights," Hanson said. "It's the best feeling in the world to be able to break a fear." Hanson said she was afraid to rap- pel at first, but she had a lot of sup­ port from other cadets who were there to encourage one another. "You could honestly tell that there's nothing that's going to hap­ pen to you," Hanson said. The second week of November, the class will have a field training exercise. This will be a camping trip in which cadets will be trained in the use of a compass and map, among other skills. It is also intended to build confi­ dence, leadership and management skills. 2nd Lt. Rick Boarders said there are usual­ ly about three women in the class. He said one good thing about the class is there are no physical requirements, so athletic students who are not good enough to compete in college sports can come out and get in better shape and build confidence. photo courtesy of Army ROTC Hanson said she enjoys the class and does­ n't feel singled out as a female, even though there are only two others in the class. "I'm one of the guys," Hanson said. 'They expect the same from me." Hanson said the class is physically demand­ ing but definitely worth it. Boarders said there are usually a few females who sign up for the class, and this year there is a co-ed team within the class which requires at least three female members. "It is difficult to get girls to show up [for the class]," Boarders said. "There are a lot of females at this school who are physically fit." The class meets at 6 a.m. every weekday to run. They run seven miles on Mondays and three to six every other weekday. They also meet from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. every weekday for other types of training. Boarders said there is a strong sense of unity that builds in the classes as cadets come to know and trust one another. "It really does develop great friendships," Boarders said. "We're all a team here...it's a great way to meet new people."

Observer — Scene — Oct. 15,1998 Take worst enemy. Wait for video tape Save your money for a rainy day matinee. A full-price flick. 5o see this one today! "Antz" crawls onto the big screen by David Simmons Staff reporter If seeing computer- animated ants run across a screen and talk to each other fascinates you or if you have kids too young to care whether a movie has a good plot, the movie "Antz" might be of interest to you. Gene Hackman is the voice of General Mandible, an authoritarian military leader who preaches the glory of a group mentality as opposed to individualism. Woody Allen is the voice of "Z", a scrawny young ant who just doesn't seem to under­ stand what the system is all about. Having been told, even by his therapist, that he is insignificant, he struggles to discover the meaning of his existence and the reason he doesn't find joy in his work. Z happens to meet Bala (Sharon Stone), princess of the ant colony, when she sneaks into a bar to see what the life of a commoner is all about. When Z switches jobs with his military friend (Sylvester Stallone) in order to see the princess at a military parade, he finds himself in a war against a colony of termites. When he turns out to be the only survivor of this suc­ cessful attack, the glory of a war hero is thrust upon him. But when Mandible, who was engaged to marry the princess, finds out she had danced with Z at a bar, he turns against this "war hero." To escape, Z ends up kidnapping the princess, in a fiasco which eventually unites them and keeps Mandible from assassinating most of the ant colony for his own benefit. A number of familiar voices in the film make the characters more tangible: Danny Glover, Dan Aykroyd, Christopher Walken and Jennifer Lopez round out the all-star cast. With an all-star cast and awesome visual effects, it could have been a lot better. That's okay. The kids will still love it. Save your money for a rainy day matinee. "What Dreams May Come" is a hit by Claire Heiti Staff reporter If you've ever wondered what it's like to fly with angels through heaven, or face the fiery depths of hell, look no further than the local movie theater. "What Dreams May Come," starring Robin Williams, Cuba Gooding Jr., and Annabella Sciorra, confronts the issues of death and the afterlife in a fantastic, yet believable, creation of heaven and hell. The film follows the lives of two lovers brought together by destiny, Chris Nealson (Williams) and Annie Collins (Sciorra), through life and death. Chris and Annie's perfect life is torn to pieces when their two children die in a car acci­ dent and then four years later when Chris is killed in another accident. In heaven, Annie is able to make contact with Chris through her paintings, but she does­ n't realize it out of desperation, despair and loneliness* she commits suicide and is sent to hell. When Chris realizes what has happened, he sets out on a noble and dangerous journey through hell to search for his soul mate and bring her back to his home in heaven. Chris finds Annie in his travels through a graphic depiction of hell, reminiscent of Dante's Inferno. The plot is deceivingly simple and definite­ ly not the reason to go see it. The beauty of the film lies in its talented actors, mesmerizing special effects, symbolic qualities and analyti­ cal meaning. Williams does a great job as the genuine romantic Chris, demonstrating the rareness and value of true love.Although Gooding Jr. has a limited role in the film, his presence on screen is heavily felt in most of the movie's tear jerk­ ing scenes. I would recommend this movie to anyone who is a romantic at heart or loves to search for the deeper meanings in life. Save your money for a rainy day matinee.

The Globe is m Session Ned Kandzor KCWU music correspondent Sheryl Crow is under a little bit of pres- s u r es­ crow's first two albums, her 1993 debut, "Tuesday Night Music Club," and her 1996 follow- up, "Sheryl Crow," have sold a total of 13 million copies and have earned her five Grammy awards. So, on her third release, "The Globe Sessions," Crow digs deep to try and achieve the same success as she had with her two previous albums. She plays a variety of instruments on her self-produced album, switching more emphasis from guitar to bass melodies and keyboards, featuring Wuriitzer electric pianos and Hammond B-3 organs. "The Globe Sessions" reflects a richer, darker, more rhythm-focused sound than the first two albums, more often borrow­ ing from En Vogue than John Mellencamp. Her lyrics haven't changed most of these songs are still about getting knocked down by love and then let­ ting it drag you through an emotion- •:W:' !* al mud puddle, however, now her songs are masked by less pop jingles to hide just how bad it Hurts. Just how bad does it hurt? Well, just chrck out the sultry epic, 'The Difficul^^ omous "Anything But Down." "I bring you everything that floats into my mind/You don't bring me anything but down." While these songs stretch her easy-rockin' image, Crow still lets her jangly, edgy roots-rock appeal soak through on some recordings such as the gift track from Bob Dylan, "Mississippi," or the twangy "It Don't Hurt." If you are a fan of Sheryl Crow, are you going to enjoy this album? Did she succeed under pressure? In a : word...Yep. You still get the same great vocals and the occasional catchy rock tune Sheryl Crow is known for, but Crow also shows another more complex and talented side to her music. "The Globe Sessions" is Crow's first step toward moving beyond her pop diva, background-party-music status and into the limelight as a songwriter and performer, finally ready to be leaving Las Vegas and ready to take over the globe. Proper listening atmosphere for this album: sitting alone with a bottle of Jack Daniels. W£LCOM£ BACK WILDCATS c| Kinqs Balbet £hof •!S SHARRON LAMBERT ••J.

Amy Jensen/Observer practice earlier this week. They opened their season last Saturday with a 65-0 thumping of North Idaho. by Scott Earle Staff reporter Coming off a Pacific Northwest Conference Championship and a Sweet 16 appearance at Nationals a year ago, Central men's rugby has high expectations for the 1998 season. Central has one goal for this season, a national championship. Although this goal is not easily attained, pieces are in place for Central to make a valiant effort. Central started their quest for a national championship on Saturday when they took on the North Idaho Ospreys men's rugby club. With no problems, the Wildcats started off their season with a 65-0 rout of the Ospreys. Leading Central in scoring for the game was Brandon Chavez, who scored three tries. Chad Meade also started his season off on a good note by scoring two tries. 'This team has enough ability and experi­ ence to surpass the accomplishments of last year's team," senior Scott Anderson said. "It's just a matter of. keeping people healthy and playing good rugby." The Wildcats made a good run at the national championship last season, but injuries and disappointing play against Truman State and the University of Connecticut sent the Wildcats home early. y.» mm x«-x mmmm mMMmmmm mmm mmrnrnm Mvx-w'i-x-x-xww*::- mssssis Hi • - £0. "K x*x-x*xxx*x*x'x*x-: Illlilllliila SraHHBflSi x-?:?\*X"X::vX:x-£ ixW:: ^ - /„ "V " liiiUmimAaUi Although the final results were not as the team hoped, valuable experience and a hunger was gained. Competing against the top collegiate rugby teams in the country, Central was exposed to what it takes to succeed at the national level. "Teamwork is key," senior Scott Mcllraith said. "The teams we saw in the play-offs did­ n't have anymore talent than we did, but they played together well and that's what is impor­ tant." Central returns 20 players from last years team, including 12 starters. With a large returning core and the addition of three key freshmen, the Wildcats don't have any doubts about their ability to vie for a national cham­ pionship. No goals should be lost this season as Central returns its top three scorers Scott Anderson, Mcllraith and Matt Schroner. These three play havoc on opposing teams with great outside speed and a fearless com­ petitiveness. In a sport played without pads, they have no fear of running hard and smash­ ing heads. In addition to a great returning core, Central has added three freshmen to their team. Coming off a summer where they competed on the U-19 National rugby team, Nate Larson, Pat Wilson and Josh Klopfer should add depth to the Wildcat squad. With national level experience, Larson and Wilson should help Central on the forward line while Klopfer contributes on the wing. "The three U-19 kids can play," assistant coach D.W. Curtis said. "They have picked up the game very fast and should be able to step right in and help us out." Starting games earlier this season, the Wildcats are hoping to get some good pre-season experience in before league play starts. Blowing teams out early in the season is not as important as getting everybody playing time, but with as much talent as Central does it's hard not to keep pilling it on. The Wildcats start league play on Oct. 31 when they take on Trinity College of Canada. by Josh Steinfeld Staff reporter The Central men's and women's cross­ country team battled illness, injury, and its most historic rival, Western Washington University, last weekend. The two teams met at the Western Washington Preview Meet in Bellingham. Although a heated competition, Central and Western's cross-country programs don't resem­ ble the rivalry between the two school's foot­ ball and basketball teams. "The rivalry within cross-country works pretty odd — football and basketball rivalries are rather vicious," senior Fred Schmitt said. "The idea with cross-country is to give 100 per­ cent, so you lay it all on the line. There is more '.5A! V1--' V.V VA' X1,'- \V- '»V V.\ ViV camaraderie with cross-country teams because we are working for the same goal which is to improve on our individual times." The rivalry in cross-country exists almost on a personal level and focuses on an individ­ ual trying to run fast in the pack and to wait until the final leg of the race to run at a faster pace. "I think for the women there is more of a rivalry because both women's teams are so close in talent, but not like football because runners get to know their opponents well through warm-ups and before their meets," Western cross-country head coach Peewee Halsell said. Halsell believes there is a rivalry between See RIVALS, Page 17 «•»** t! Kevin Reitan/Observer • * ' * 'A.

The experience was too much for the Wildcat players to handle as they dropped four straight over the week­ end during the first annual Pacific West Cross-Over Tournament. The nine-match losing streak brings the Wildcats overall record to 2-16 and 0- 11 in conference. On Friday Central took on BYU- Hawaii, the number one ranked team in NCAA Division II The Seasiders showed why they are the top ranked team, by easily defeating Central 15- 1,15-2,15-3. "It's tough to win matches when you have 18 and 19 year olds looking across the net at 28 and 29 year olds," Head Coach Mario Andaya said. Hoping to rebound from the earli­ er defeat, Central took on Chaminade University. This time they fell 9-15, 15-7, 15-6, 15-4. Sophomore Erin Want A Challenge?

Observer — Sports — Oct. 15, 1998 by David Banuelos Contributing writer „ Last Saturday, Central's football team came in as decided underdogs against NCAA Division II power the University of California-Davis. Unfortunately for Central, the final score didn't reflect how hard they played as the Aggies outscored Central 28-3 in the second half, en route to a 51-16 blowout. 'We hung with them until the half, but we didn't score when we had to in the second half," Casey Jacox, Central's quarterback, said. Four times in the game, Central's offense marched deep into UC-Davis territory without converting. "I feel like we stopped ourselves in a lot of ways," Central Head Coach John Zamberlin said. Jm fil * "They're a good football team, but are they that many points better than us? Probably not. At the outset, it appeared that UC-Davis was going to run all over the Wildcats, as run­ ning-back G.P. Muhammad scored on a 48-yard run to put the Aggies up 7- 0, just 28 seconds into the game.

Seconds later, UC-Davis V * • blocked You simply can't make those kind of mistakes against a team this good. ^ — John Zamberlin Kevin Reitan/Observer end of the first half last Saturday/ Central lost 51-16. the extra-point attempt by Central kicker Steve Hickey, and UC- Davis' cornerback Josh Farrow returned the block for two points to make the score 13-9. "The blocked extra-point was the turning point of the game," UC-Davis Head Coach Bob Biggs said. "Central came out fired up, and executed well, but that block gave us the momentum we needed to control the rest of the game." As the half went on, UC-Davis' All-American quarterback Kevin Daft led the Aggies on an 80-yard drive which put UC- Davis ahead for good. "You simply can't make those kind of mistakes against a team this good," Zamberlin said. Daft, who came out of the game after die third quarter, fin­ ished the day with 301 yards passing, and three touchdowns, all to slot-back John Shoemaker. Shoemaker finished the day with an impressive 138 receiving yards on eight catches. At the half UC-Davis led 23-13, and Central felt like they could compete with the powerful Aggies. "We had confidence after the first half," Zamberlin said, "But as the third quarter went on, they wore us down." In the third quarter, UC-Davis turned the game into a lopsided affair, scoring three times, and holding Central to one field goal. By the end of the third, it was 44-16, and the UC-Davis second- unit was on the field to finish off the Wildcats. Jacox, who finished the day with 236 yards passing, was pleased with his team despite the score. "I'm really proud of our guys for never quitting," he said. "We kept it up until the last second and never gave up." Zamberlin hopes his team will take something from the loss, as Central heads into an important road contest against confer­ ence opponent Southern Oregon next week. "We need to learn from this, and keep building," he said. "After a hard week of practices, we'll be ready to make a run at the play-offs." Jacox had similar feelings following his team's performance. "Basically, we need to flush this game," he said. "We need to put it behind us and focus on the rest of the season." 4«T*. » Continued from Page 15 the two programs, but there is no similarity between the school's foot­ ball and cross-country rivalries. "Rivalry is competition," Halsell said. "We may beat Central one week, but we will never forget about how competitive they will always be." . Central Head Coach Kevin Adkisson hinted towards the rivalry picking up through the course of the s e a s o n . - v - . ~ The two teams meet again next weekend and his team is working through early season conditioning problems and the flu bug. 'Though we work hard this por­ tion of the season, it is inevitable that one member of the team gets sick," Adkisson said. "We try to prevent sickness, but you can count on it every year at this time when the sea­ sons change." Having the flu made it difficult for Schmitt to perform at his normal level in Bellingham. "I usually run second for the team, but last week I ran sixth because of the flu and a stomach muscle injury," Schmitt said. "It was the first time since I came to Central that I didn't score." Although the men's team finished sixth in the meet behind Simon Fraser University, University of Alaska-Anchorage and Western, members of the men's team ran very competitive races. Sophomore Tom Gaschk led the Central squad finishing the 10K at 33:37 and senior Brad Hawkins fin­ ished second for Central at 33:39. Central's women's team had a great showing in Bellingham finish­ ing second in the meet ahead of the University of the Alaska Fairbanks, St. Martin's University and Western. The women's team, anchored by hard running and dedicated freshmen and sophomores, managed to blast through the final mile of the meet and ended with its top five runners finishing within 18 seconds of one another. Sophomore Kirsten Myrvang ran the fastest time on the 6K course for the Wildcats finishing in 24 minutes flat and junior Tara Gauthier came a close second at 24:11. "The women gave a great example of running close and holding in their pack until the last mile of the race," Adkisson said. Next up for the Wildcat harriers is the Fort Casey Invitational hosted by Seattle Pacific University, this Saturday. "A bunch of guys are taking this weekend off, so this is more of a rebuilding, recovery weekend," Schmitt said. "We don't have a really serious meet for four weeks so this is more of a just for fun meet." for America^ Backyard Reunion' DQ Ultimate* Super* Value Meat Mt.

'Kitna was back at Central for the first "Kitna Crop" day. Sixteen loyal fans ended up donning-the-do. "I don't know how much.of a fashion statement it is," Kitna joked. "I just do it because it's nice and easy and I can do it myself. Kitna, who is the number three quarterback for the Hawks, said he's still the same guy who led Central to the 1995 NAIA national champi­ onship. "I feel like I'm still playing the game like I played when I was here (at Central)" Kitna said. "I didn't get a lot of attention, and that's kind of how I like it. It humbles me." Kitna, in his second full season with the 'Hawks, said he's itching to finally take over for Warren Moon. "I feel like I've done what they've asked me to do since I got here (Seattle)," Kitna said during halftime of last Saturday's game against UC-Davis. "They just con­ tinue to keep me under wraps for right now. But that's why they're coaches and I'm a player" But patience will haVe to win out for the heir-apparent to the future NFL Hall-of-Famer Moon.' "Warren's still got another year on his contract, but I feel like I'm ready to go," Kitna said. "It was nice to get a taste against Kansas City." In the past season and a half, Kitna has done more than just back­ up the 42-year-old former Washington Husky. Kitna says he has learned much from Moon. "On the football side of things is how to get yourself ready for Sunday." Kitna said. "Every week he's really sore on Wednesday, but by Sunday he's back in top form." Kitna is doing his part off the field as well, giving back to his hometown of Tacoma, and his alma mater Lincoln High School. d • 10 weeks of Matchbox Car Racing • Winner Guaranteed to compete folio wingweek • Racing Starts at 7 p.m., Tuesday, October 13! • Sponsored by Snapple! 705 N.

Oct. 15, 1998 — Sports — Observer by Mike Wells Staff reporter Arch-rival Western Washington took advantage of the fact that the Central women's soccer team decided to play hard 88 out of a possible 90 minutes and the Vikings scored both of their goals in the final minute of the first and sec­ ond half to defeat Central 2-1 last Saturday. "Words don't sum up how it feels to lose to Western," senior mid-fielder Melissa Budde said. The loss dropped the Wildcats to 8-4-1 on the season. "Giving up goals to finish each half is the most disap­ pointing way to finish," head coach Jerrod Fleury said. Once again the Wildcats outshot their opponent 11-9, but they were not able to cash in on their chances. "We were the better team on that day, they just scored more goals than us," Fleury said. Senior Carrie Boers kicked her fifth goal of the season. "Western took advantage and capitalized on our mis­ takes," Fleury said. "We couldn't capitalize when they made mistakes." The task doesn't get any easier for the Wildcats, as they take on defending national finalist Simon Fraser on Sunday. •K-XvX*... Gail McDonald and Therese Hahn prac­ tice with their legs tied.
