"This would be something I'd like to have go on continuously," Whitney said. "If it could catch on, individuals could just come during lunch and have the opportunity to discuss issues that women are deal­ ing with in our world." On Oct. 28, the topic was "Breast Cancer: New Facts for Young Faculty grills Trustees, Nelson See SERIES, Page 6 President ivory Nelson, Trustees and faculty failed to resolve con­ flicts at last Friday's forum by Carrina Galloway Staff reporter A forum Friday between the Board of Trustees (BOT) and facul­ ty members failed to quell the anger many within the university feel: The intent of the forum was to clear the air between faculty, administrators and the BOT about the vote taken on Theme 5 at the BOT's October meeting. Theme 5 dealt with how internal and exter­ nal conflict at Central will be han­ dled, as well as future balance of power. "All of us are family, we belong to the Central community," Central President Ivory Nelson said in his opening statement. "Central is just like a family, it has issues and con­ cerns, and there are issues and con­ cerns we need to deal with." BOT representatives Gwen Chaplin, Fritz Glover and Amy Gillespie and President Nelson sat before a packed auditorium of fac­ ulty, administrators and students. Trustee Mike Sells attempted to be present via a distance education hook-up. Attendees were given the opportunity to address the trustees and Nelson during the two-hour question and answer session. Many of them pulled no punches. "Collective bargaining isn't a radical concept, it's a model of gov­ ernance," Art Professor and United Faculty of Central (UFC) member Keith Lewis said. 'The board is addicted to the current balance of power." Many asked why the BOT had voted against collective bargaining and what it was the board had against unionization. Chaplin main­ tained that miscommunication had occurred about the intent of the vote taken. She said she believed the BOT had not yet taken a stance on unionization. "In the motion we committed all of our energies to addressing the six points presented by the Faculty Senate," Chaplin said. "We didn't take a position on collective bar­ gaining, but apparently some of you heard something different. " ' [ 7 photos by Kelly Christensen/Observer Above, Central President Ivory Nelson and Board of Trustees members Fritz Glover and Amy Gillespie, discuss university Issues.

Glover, who had made the motion on Theme 5 at the Oct. 9 BOT meeting, did not share Chaplin's opinion. He spoke on the intent of his motion and his state­ ment showed that unionization was intended as part of the proposal. "There is no legal basis on which to base support of the union, but there is a faculty code, and there is a Faculty Senate," Glover said. "My intent was to emphasize the code and the Senate." Besides inconsistencies in answers about Theme 5, faculty were not able to nail down many other concrete answers. Chaplin repeatedly said she could not give the board's stance on collective bargaining because only three BOT members were present. Both President Nelson and Chaplin admitted that talks needed to take place with faculty. Chaplin invited student and faculty leaders to participate in the BOT's Nov. 13 study session. She said she hopes the future brings better communi­ cate between faculty and the BOT. But these promises did not satisfy the crowd. "Let's talk isn't an answer, it's really kind of stepping around the issue," Mike Emme, professor of art, said.

Nasser's presentation was in response to accusations that the BOD was being misled in affairs dealing with funds. Two weeks ago, at the BOD meeting, representatives from a group identified as "the students," informed the BOD that they were being misled in regard to university spending. The students asked for resources that would identify how Central allocates money and to deter­ mine if money was not accounted for. Nasser's presentation examined Central's three part budget expendi­ tures. The first part is the Capital Budget, which comprises over $96 million. Capital Budget can be spent on buildings and any structure attached to a building. The money is received only after a request to the state legislature has been approved and the money allocated to a specific project. The second division of the budget when they party I * "One drink = one 12 oz. beer, 4-5oz. wine, or loz. liquor" Based on a 1997Wildcat Wellness Center Survey of682 students is called Self Support. Self Support accounts for $32.4 million. This money is revenue created by school entities that support themselves such as the University Bookstore, parking and grants. The third and final part of the budget is the Operations Budget. This money comes from student tuition and state general fund. The state donates over $36.4 million, and tuition adds up to just over $16.2 mil- lion for a total of $52.6 million. The ^ operations budget is allocated toward such things as faculty and adminis­ trative pay. Bike path not * to be replaced by Kristen Schwab Staff Reporter For two years, the bike path through Central's campus has been non-existent, and it looks like it's going to stay that way. The bike path was taken out when Black Hall was remodeled and now, due to money issues and the ^ mall being widened, officials think bike traffic is no longer an issue. "We try to do as much bicycle enforcing as we have staff to," Campus Police Chief Steve Rittereiser said. "It is difficult to get through the walking traffic on a bike," Naomi Hammond, a sophomore at Central, said. "It's almost quicker to walk." The lack of a bike path is incon­ venient for pedestrian traffic. "It's a pain in the ass to jump out & of the way when bicycles are goin$ by," Sean Sharp, a sophomore majoring in business, said.
Observer — News — Oct. 29, 1998 Voters face issues, candidates on ballots m Initiative Measure 688 The Objective: This measure would raise the minimum wage from $4.90 per hour to $5.70 per hour in 1999 and to $6.50 per hour in the year 2000. The Washington State department of labor and industries would adjust the minimum wage in subsequent years to keep pace with inflation. Statement for 688: • Employees working full time often make less than $10,000 annual­ ly, well below the family poverty line. • Washington State's present min­ imum wage discourages work, pro^ motes economic dependence, costs taxpayers money for welfare pro­ grams and provides less money for working class families. Statement against 688: • The cost of groceries, gasoline, rent and other goods and services would rise hurting working families and those with fixed incomes. • Automatic wage hikes and price increases should be approved by vot­ ers • Ninety-two percent of all busk nesses in Washington already pay their workers more than the mini­ mum wage. • The minimum wage is a starting wage. Eighty percent of those mak­ ing minimum wage either are teenagers or people living in a family making more than $30,000 in income. Initiative Measure 692 The Objective: This measure would allow physicians to prescribe marijuana to treat patients with cer­ tain terminal or debilitating illnesses. Statement for 692: Marijuana can help patients suf­ fering nausea from cancer chemotherapy, threatened with blind­ ness due to glaucoma, or experienc­ ing severe and intractable pain. • The measure would only allow for the use of marijuana under a lim­ ited number of circumstances or con­ ditions where marijuana has been scientifically proven to be effective. Statement against 692: • Marijuana has never been proven to be either effective or safe by any health or medical association. • The Center for Scientific Affairs of the American Medical Association has concluded marijuana and THC have very limited or no effectiveness in treating acute nausea and vomiting caused by chemotherapy, treating spasticity in multiple sclerosis patients, or treating those affected by AIDS wasting, glaucoma, or pain. • The initiative does not place controls on the amount of marijuana physicians can subscribe to their patients. This omission would create a legal loophole opening the door for criminal abuse. Initiative Measure 694 The Objective: This measure would make it unlawful for physi­ cians to perform an abortion after, in the judgment of the physician, a fetus could survive outside the uterus. Statement for 694:. • The American Medical Association has not approved partial- birth abortion procedures. • This initiative would prevent partial-birth abortions. Roe v. Wade determined that a women has a right. to an abortion. The ruling does not give women the right to end the life of a child being born. • Medical experts have testified that partial-birth abortions can lead Voters' Guide IvHT1* •XvXvXvX-X-X-IvXvtfvX-XW UNDER CHIROPRACTIC CENTER OR.

In addition, confidential med­ ical records could be opened and brings decisions that should be made by women and their doctors under government control. Referendum Bill 49 The Objective: The measure would reduce the motor vehicle excise tax reallocate the revenue from this tax and other revenues pro­ vide for the issuance of $1.9 billion in state general obligation bonds to finance state and local highway improvements and make other changes in state and local govern­ ment funding provisions. Statement for 49: • The referendum will reduce the license tab fee on autos by $30. • If approved, a greater percent­ age of license tab revenues will go towards transportation improve­ ments. • The referendum provides funds to local law enforcement to help fight crime • The referendum will make funds available to a proposed $2.4 billion plan to improve Washington's trans­ portation systems Statement against 49 • Washington State will be plunged into debt if the referendum is approved. Money that should be spent on roads will be spent on inter­ est. • The referendum doesn't direct where the money will be spent. The referendum provides next to nothing to fix potholes on city streets and county roads. Transit funding will be cut. Initiative Measure 200 The Objective: The initiative would prohibit state agencies from discriminating in employment, pub­ lic education or public contracting on the basis of race, sex, color, ethnici­ ty, or national origin. Statement for 200: • The government discriminates on the basis of race and gender in employment and education. • The initiative will not end all affirmative action programs, only those that use race or gender as a cri­ teria in awarding employment or admission to state colleges and uni­ versities. Statement against 200: • Job training programs that help women and minorities make the tran­ sition from welfare to work would be eliminated. • The initiative promotes inequal­ ity. Women and minorities still have a long way to go in achieving equal­ ity. Information was taken from the Washington State Voter's Pamphlet.

Oct. 29, 1998— News — Observer Jerrol's uo o u Fred Meyer hopes to begin project Fred Meyer is still waiting for site approval before planning begins. by Alan Grimes Staff reporter The proposed Fred Meyer con­ struction site is still undergoing an Environmental Impact Study (EIS). The 11 -acre site, located at Water Street and Washington Avenue, is being assessed by the State Environmental Policy Act committee (SEPA). "We come up with alternatives as to how to mitigate the impact," Bob Witkowski, SEPA committee chair­ man and Director of Community Development, said. The SEPA committee collects and analyzes input from various groups including the Department of Fish and Wildlife, the Department of Ecology, and the Yakama Nation Fisheries Program. The study has been going on for a year and the result­ ing guidelines will be required of Fred Meyer. "We need to understand the issues brought up before we can deal with them," Witkowski said. The proposed site is a 100- year flood plain, meaning that every year there is a one in 100 chance of a flood which will run into the area. As a result, the ground floor of the new building will need to be built at least one foot above that flood level. Unfortunately, the three acre building will cover earth that would soak up rainwater. "The question is, where does the £^We need to understand the issues brought up before we can deal with them.77 -Bob Witkowski displaced water go?" Scott Nicolai of the Yakama Nation Fisheries Program, said. Nicolai said storm water from the roof cannot be immediately routed to Wilson Creek because the flooding would destroy stream wildlife. One proposal suggests a runoff pit be built so the water can soak into the ground at a more natural rate. The relocation of Wilson Creek is another concern. The dilapi­ dated creek is home to many species of fish, including salmon. Nicolai said Fred Meyer has the opportunity to improve or hinder the water­ way. The SEPA committee is also reviewing the various road improvement proposals. The city is already planning to make improvements on Water Street, but the question is whether or not Main and Water streets will become one-way. "We hope to have the EIS com­ pleted around the end of the year," SEPA committee member and City Manager David Moseley said. The building permit would then be issued. The recent buyout of Fred Meyer by Krueger will not affect the name or progress, of the building. BOD avoids collective bargaining stand by Logan Luft Staff reporter While many faculty and students are concerned about collective bar­ gaining, the Associated Students of Central Washington University Board of Directors (ASCWU-BOD) has yet to take a stand. .

"My feeling is that this is a facul­ ty issue, but it's becoming apparent that this is becoming not just a facul­ ty issue," Eklund said. "Until this became as big of an issue as it has become, I hadn't known enough about collective bargaining to feel comfortable taking a position." Collective bargaining would allow the faculty to unionize and fight for solutions to problems they face as a whole. Faculty is seeking to negotiate contracts, class size and pay increases. Some faculty believe the only way to negotiate these prob­ lems is through collective bargain­ ing. Others such as Eklund believe that faculty and the administration should investigate other possibilities. "I think the contracts can happen through mutual agreement. I don't believe that you need to have a union representative for the Board of Trustees or a Board of Trustees rep­ resentative to negotiate these con­ tracts," Eklund said. "I think the fac­ ulty could change their faculty code, the faculty and the Board of Trustees could agree on something without collective bargaining." Both parties have identified prob­ lems. One problem is the lack of con­ sistent clarity among members of the university regarding the mission of the university. Many feel there are problems with the process of institu­ tional decision making. Salary levels are a growing concern among facul­ ty. And there is dissatisfaction with part-time faculty on pay and partici­ pation in academic affairs, among other things. "A lot of people agree on the same ends but maybe different means of accomplishing the same ends," Eklund said. "And collective bar­ gaining is one of those means." From Eklund's perspective as a student, collective bargaining allows the BOT and the faculty to sit down and discuss the disbursement of money that comes from the state gen­ eral fund and tuition money. However, he said collective bargain­ ing doesn't guarantee students any
Observer — News — Oct. 29/ 1998 * • ? Satellite classes concern faculty, students by Kelly Christensen and Carrina Galloway Staff reporters (fc- Trustee Mike Sells along with faculty and students from Central's branch campus in Lynnwood, Wash, scaled a mountain range and miles of ranch land to attend the faculty- administration forum in the Hebler # auditorium last Friday. Their collective image was pro­ jected via-satellite to a large video screen located in front of those in attendance. This, exhibition of Central's distance educational capa- q, bilities was less than successful. The satellite participants were projected on the wall a crystal clear picture, but no sound. Forum partici­ pants in Eilensburg could not hear what the others had to say, and vice versus. ^ About halfway through the forum, Sells held up a piece of paper with his cell phone number on it, a silent cry for connection with the forum. He later issued an e-mail statement to the faculty. "Thanks to the CWU staff for working to hook lip the Lynnwood campus so that I could be with you for the faculty forum," Sells' email message said. "However, as most of you know, the sound did not work." The first distance education class offered by Central opened four years ago. University administration said the program is intended to link "time- bound" and "place-bound" students to Central's main campus. While designers of the technology admit glitches such as Sells' predicament happen, they say the electronic laps­ es are infrequent. "Anything designed by man is imperfect," Obie O'Brien, media technician said. "Some classes seem In teaching we learn Second in a series to go without a hitch and with others every class seems to have problems." The combination of unreliable technology and the perceived dis­ tancing of student-teacher relation­ ships has some faculty members questioning the amount of emphasis the administration's strategic plan places on the future role of distance education. "The university will config­ ure itself such that 15 to 20 percent of its instruction may be delivered via technology links to its university centers or to technology links with other community colleges," Option 3 of Theme 2 says in the strate­ gic plan. In an address to the Board of Trustees earlier this year, John Alsoszatai-Petheo chair of the Faculty Senate noted concerns about overemphasis on technology. He said technological advances must be carefully balanced against impacts. "Many view the emphasis on technological solutions and alterna­ tives to classroom instruction as nothing less than an assault on the survival of the traditions of higher education/' Alsoszatai-Petheo said. Morris Uebelacker, chair of geog­ Leadership conference fills quickly, causing frustration raphy and land studies, said one thing distance education can not replace is student's accessibility to professors. "I think there is something about personal contact that cannot be dupli­ cated through the electronic medi­ um," Uebelacker said. In Wenatchee and Yakima, dis­ tance education has found its niche with students who can receive a four- year degree while attending commu­ nity college. Main campus business adminis­ tration senior Juan Esparza has taken four distance education classes at the Eilensburg campus. While he likes distance education, he doesn't like the idea of having it be his main source of education. "Having all of your classes be dis­ tance education probably wouldn't be a good idea," Esparza said. "I like classes that are more personal." Campus Life Special Programs presents by Christina Wavrin Staff reporter » First come, first serve isn't always fair. This seems to be the case for the students interested in attend­ ing the Northwest Student Leadership Conference (NWLC). The November event has allowed 40 students from Central to attend. This. year the spots were filled a week before it was even advertised. Kyle Aim, vice president of Political Affairs, and Britt Ruby, director of office of legislative affairs, are responsible for organizing this years conference. "We made the mistake of putting out the sign-up list before it was properly advertised." Aim said. When students tried to sign up after seeing the advertisement, they discovered it was full.

Vice President for Equity and Community Service Christina Lee said people who attended the confer­ ence last year signed up early this year. "We didn't know it would fill.up that fast," Lee said. BOD members met on Oct. 22 to decide how to handle the problem of funding more students. "We are in the process of trying to expand the number of spots avail­ able," Aim said. As of now, all spots for the con­ ference are filled, ubt Aim's office is looking into additional funding for more students. "I am willing to help organize and facilitate 20 more people going, but I don't think it should come out of this budget," Aim said. Students interested in attending the conference can be funded through clubs and the Club Senate. 'This office does apologize for any confusion or resentment that we may have caused," Ruby said. "And we are indeed trying as hard as we can to resolve the problems that have resulted from this." The NWLC is scheduled for Nov. 13-15 at Portland State University in Portland, Ore.

* \ * t * ***/?/ Oct. 29, 1998— News — Observer Ellensburg increases price of water, electricity by Alan Grimes Staff reporter The city of Ellensburg is raising light and water utility rates for Central in the preliminary 1999 city budget. The increase in lighting from $1,415,039 in 1998 to $1,458,032 in 1999 reflects the increased usage as a result of the two new buildings, Black Hall and the Science Building. Water rates will be substantially higher because the city needs to pay for future capital improvements and ejefansion. The utility rates were raised 6.81 percent for the 1998 bud­ get. The 1999 budget raises rates by 25.2 percent, from $150,000 to $187,000. "We're at the point where the water has to pay for itself," Stan Bassett, Ellensburg councilman, said. The original proposed increase was only 20.34 percent. The 5 per­ cent raise was added because ttf the proposed water trade-off between the city and Central. The city wants to tap into the Brook Lane Well for expansion and development north of campus. In return, Central will be able to irrigate property north of Nicholson Boulevard with Ganges or Cascade 44 We're at the point where the water has to pay for itself. 59 -Stan Bassett ditch water. Irrigation water is gener­ ally pulled from the north so that runoff will go south to the river. If the Ganges is utilized, water will have to be obtained from the section that runs to the east of campus property. City Manager David Moseley said the new irrigation system will probably use both ditches. Central has been using potable water from the Brook Lane Well to irrigate north campus. The switch would benefit Central by reducing use of potable water. The city already uses the Brook Lane Well during the summer "It's a good deal for both (Central and Ellensburg): the city gets to use Brook Lane Well for future improve­ ments Central exchanges potable water for the irrigation," Moseley said.

Student trustee unveils her new job description Friday, Student Trustee Amy Gillespie told a packed house of students and faculty she doesn't represent students. Last spring we cheered Governor Gary Locke signing Senate Bill 5517 which created a voting stu­ dent position on the Board of Trustees (BOT). The passage of this bill was a victory that capped off 30 years of lobbying by students in the state of Washington with this bill, students assumed, they would have a voice on the board. But not so said our very own student trustee. At Friday's forum between the BOT, faculty and stu­ dents. Gillespie said otherwise. When student Stephanie Barnett referred to Gillespie as the BOT member chosen to represent students, Gillespie spoke up. "To clarify, I was appointed by the governor, and I represent all tax payers of this state, of which you are one," Gillespie said. "I do not directly represent students." Gillespie's statement is not only against the spirit of the bill which gave her the BOT position, but is also a smack in the face to any student who ever lobbied for that bill. The point of having a student on the BOT is not to simply have an eighth BOT member. The point is to have a student, who stands for issues concerning students and who votes in the best interest of students. It is true that the governor appointed Gillespie, but her statement seems to forget her roots. Under SB 5517 Central was required to choose three to five student representatives of which the governor would pick one to be trustee. Before Gillespie ever had the chance to be appointed by the governor, she had to first be chosen by her peers. If Gillespie does not believe her job is to repre­ sent the students of Central, she is not fulfilling the duties that nearly 8,000 students expect her to. Our student trustee needs to reassess her job title, listen to her constituents and be OUR representative. c||l ff H ' * "Personally, I am shocked that in the span of one season the position of student- trustee has been corrupted from its original values." Kyle Aim, Washington Student Lobby vice president of legislative affairs Trustee position under scrutiny I am writing in response to the statement made by the most recent addition to the Board of Trustees. Personally, I am shocked that in the span of one season the position of student-trustee has been corrupted from its original values. When the Washington Student Lobby pushed to place a student on the BOT, we were asking for an advocate, some­ one who would represent the student share of the cost of education. Students pay 45 percent of the cost of education through our tuition dollars, but we had no representation on the board regardless of this money that we add into the pool. When Amy Gillespie announced to the forum last week, she said, in no uncertain terms, that as a trustee she represented the taxpayers of this state. She has defied the spirit of the law and vindicated 30 years of stu­ dent activism, by denying the history of the student trustee. With no disre­ spect intended to the current mem­ bers of the BOT, another trustee is superfluous. A student hit the nail right on the head when she asked - what's the point of having a student on the board unless the intent is for student input. What's the point indeed? I seriously hope that my time in Olympia working on this issue and the countless hours spent by some of the finest student leaders was not spent in vain. Kyle Aim Washington State Lobby vice president for legislative affairs Student trustee says she represents taxpayers This letter is in response to a comment made by Board of Trustee member Amy Gillespie on Friday to a group of staff and students. She said that she represents the tax pay­ ers of Washington state, not the stu­ dents of this university. Come again? These words came from the mouth of the same person who last legislative session convinced me and many other students on this campus to lobby for this bill so students could have a voice and a vote on the board of trustees. I celebrated when Governor Locke , signed the bill because finally students would have I celebrated when Governor Locke signed the bill because finally students would have some real influence on the board. 99 — Troy Goracke student some real influence on the board. Well, after Friday, I can see no reason to celebrate. It turns out all I and many other students lobbied for was not a voice and vote that repre­ sented the student position, but just another Board of Trustees member who doesn't listen to students' con­ cerns. I am disillusioned, but not sur­ prised. Thanks for corrupting 30 years of student work \r\ only two months, Ms. Gillespie. Thank you very much.

Observer — Opinion — Oct. 29, 1998 Approval of initiative could lead to complete abolishment of abortion On Oct. 22, the Ellensburg Pregnancy Care Center had a fund-rais- er that delivered the message, "to give life or kill life is a question for society everyday." Initiative 694, on the Nov. 3 ballot, if passed, will outlaw third trimester abortions. These abortions are anything but humane. Voting yes on 1-694 is a step that will hopefully lead to the out­ law of all abortions. I think abortion and partial-birth infanticide is absolute murder of a human life. We were given birth by the grace of God when someone decides to abort, it is an inhumane act of killing a precious life given by God. We have a God-given instinct to pro­ tect and nurture the life growing*within us. A woman who has an abortion is like an animal biting off its leg because it's caught in a trap to get out. Speaking as a volunteer at the Ellensburg Pregnancy Care Center, I see many women who have pondered hav­ ing an abortion. Abortion isn't a solution to unwanted pregnancies at the center. When a woman finds out she is preg­ nant and decides to have an abortion or is told to have an abortion by her part­ ner, she may feel hopeless from not knowing what to do. The problem seems larger than life. The woman may put up barriers because she feels no one cares or can help her. Scared to .tell anyone she is thinking of an abortion, because people may judge her, she has the abor­ tion. In her eyes it is the only way out. •v.sv.:. But the true facts of abortion are not told by the nurse or the doctor who is murdering the child in utero. Abortion destroys the woman, as well as the unborn child. What a terrible price to pay for the rest of your life. For many women, the abortion never goes away. Imagine being behind bars in a prison cell for 50 years abor­ tion puts you behind bars because you never forget what you have done — murder. After an abortion, you are left feeling flawed and defective. Your *** body feels like a run-down battery, barely able to func­ tion in life at times. Also, keeping the abortion secret so no one can judge you, can cause emo­ tional scars that seem unbearable. The emotional scars always are there, no matter how hard you try to forget. When you look in the mirror each day, you can't stand yourself because you killed a living being. It is hard unless you get good solid counseling and ask God to forgive you. A lot of different issues have come to Jessica Terrel On my mind the public's attention in the past few years. The right to know about abortion and its effects on a person should be brought out into the open. There is noth­ ing to hide in America today, so lets start talking about issues that could make a difference in someone's life instead of hiding behind our own fears. I feel that churches and other organi­ zations should have more programs and counseling available to women and men that deal with the effects of abortion and the option of adoption if the woman does not want the child or cannot sup­ port the child. Maybe then, there would be fewer abortion murders. My goodness, if you can't go to your own church for help, who can you turn to? People are so wrapped up in their views of right and wrong, that they have forgotten to care. All people are special and women need to know that someone out there cares when they are consider­ ing abortion. Many organizations, such as Ellensburg Pregnancy Care Center, offer- help and healthy options instead of abortion. We need more centers in the world and more caring people, to speak out about abortion and the trauma it causes. Babies are human beings, they should be allowed to live, not die. I vote yes on 1-694, to stop Partial-Birth Infanticide, and I want abortions to stop completely. •CAT • • What issues on the Nov. 3 ballot are of most interest to you? "I feel strbrigly about 1-200. Especially because it affects women. Men are big in business and if people vote yes, less chance for women and more for men." -Dorothy Talamaivao, junior, leisure ser­ vices "1-694 should pass because I don't think a baby should be killed when it's in the birthing canal." -Deana Hoffman, junior, recreation man­ agement "Vote no on 1-200. They should keep Affirmative Action because many kids wouldn't be able to go to school. "My boyfriend's Hispanic, and he proba­ bly wouldn't be here if it wasn't for Affirmative Action and the scholarships he got." -Kristin Ranta, sophomore, elementary education "I would vote no on getting rid of Affirmative Action. Vote no for legalizing marijuana." -McCain Germann, junior, speech com­ munication w 'The medical marijuana. I think it should be legalized. I don't think it's the govern­ ment's place to decide what medicine works for an individual. People know what makes them feel better." -John Hieger, sophomore, undecided "I'm registered to vote but I don't know if I will. I don't feel strongly about anything." -Andy Sullivan, freshman, psychology "Abortion. I'm pro-abortion. I think everyone should have that right. Vote no for 1-694." -Liz Sulkosky, freshman, undecided "I think (marijuana) should be legalized for medical use. I'd vote yes for legaliza­ tion. I think that if a woman wants an abor­ tion it needs to be within the first trimester. I'd vote yes for 1-694." -Rachel Hardesty, sophomore, business administration "Legalization of marijuana for medical use. I'd have to look into it a little further. There's positives and negatives both ways." -Ian Campbell, junior, disability studies MEETINGS CWU Kempo Karate Club, "Conceptual Motion: A Study of Martial Arts," 6:30 p.m., Lincoln Elementary School Call 962-8820 for details.

Supposedly Lola's fiance went off to war, and she received a telegram saying that he had been killed in action. Lola was devastated and went upstairs to the fourth floor and hung herself. It was later learned Lola's fiance did not die after all, but it was too late. Since then, it is said Lola haunts Kamola Hall in a friendly way. " Lola loves electronics, she turns my computer off and on and changes the screen savers and my radio stations, too," Heather Bodin, manager of Kamola Hall, said.

Swing has been making a comeback for a while now and is just starting to hit Central. Britt Ruby, a senior in history teaching, and Daren Schuettpelz, a junior in print journalism, had the idea of bringing a swing club to Central. They, along with a lot of help from Casey Schneider, a junior in anthropology, got the Swing Club recognized by the ASCWU Board^of, Directors on Oct. 15. "It's a good place to pick up chicks," Matt Quigg, a senior in psychology, said. One of the goals of the Swing Club include spreading swing among the campus and Ellensburg. Another goal is to have high-profiled bands from Seattle, Vancouver and Portland come to Central and put on a show. The club is already work­ ing with Campus Life to try to make this happen.

Observer — Scene — Oct. 29, 1998 Paintball splats into Ellensburg by Claire Hein Staff reporter "My son married a girl whose parents owned a paintball field in California," Hagan said. "He told me Mom, you should open one up there." Hidden out in the farm fields of Ellensburg, The Compound Paintball is a tag-style sport in which players on opposing paintball field offers a one-of-a-kind adrenaline rush to people teams shoot paintballs at each other with guns powered by a looking for something a little different to do with their leisure canister of carbon dioxide. The paintballs are gum ball-size time. capsules filled with gelatin and food coloring, and explode when The Compound, owned by Susan Hagan, is one of only a few they hit a solid object. paintball fields in eastern Washington. Paintball's growing Hagan usually starts her players out with a simple version of popularity in recent years led Hagan to open her own field in capture-the-flag. Once they get the hang of how to shoot the Ellensburg. ^ guns and some strategy, she introduces them to more complicat­ ed games. Hagan thinks paintball's popularity stems from the fact that almost anyone can play. "Anyone over age 10 can play," Hagan said. "It requires teamwork, strategy, and it's a lot of fun." Recognizing the potential dangers of irresponsible play, Hagan stresses safety more than anything at her field. "Safety is important," Hagan said. "You don't want to abuse this kind of thing." Players are required to wear a protective mask that covers the eyes, ears and throat. Close-range shooting is not-allowed, and barrel plugs are required in the guns when players are not on the playing field. Hagan also hires referees to see players abide by the rules of her field. Jeremy Kelley, a senior in political science, and Keith Dunnagan, a junior, double majoring in history and political science, have both been to The Compound. "It was pretty cool," Dunnagan said. "It was my first time playing at a place where you rented equipment. I would definitely recommend it to beginners." Kelley, who has played many games of paintball in western Washington, was fairly impressed with the Ellensburg field. "I thoughy it was very adequate," Kelley said. "The price is good, and people who like paintball would really like it." . Hagan charges $30 for field admission Amy Jensen/Observer ^ gun package ^ or $10 {qt Md Rambo?

Hagan said people are welcome to bring their own guns, but .she requires a velocity test on the guns before she'll allow them in the field. She also has a firing range, where players can practice before entering the field.

Tomlinson Stadium held more than 4,000 Central football fans, while Bill Bellamy sold out Saturday's comedy show. Since Homecoming weekend was partnered with Parents' Weekend, the activities were almost limitless. Both the new Science Building and the newly renovated Black Hall were on show, both Friday and Saturday, with a keynote speaker from the University of Washington's education program. The annual Homecoming Dance was filled with stu­ dents, administrators, parents and faculty, dancing to both popular dances like swing and more traditional dances like ballroom. President Ivory Nelson even took part in cutting a rug. Not all aspects of Homecoming weekend were a hit. The football team gave up a conference game to Western Oregon State University. Although the weather was less than sunny and clear, football fans remained through the trickling of raindrops to support Central. The game finished with an upsetting one-point finish, favoring the defending conference champions, Western Oregon.

Oct. 29, 1998 — Scene — Observer A full-price flick. Go see this one todayl Just for the cheese factor Practical Magic is in rare form Vanilla Ice is Hard to Swallow Katy Jordan The magic wasn't exactly practical in the film "Practical Magic." Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman star in this film about witches who had a curse placed on them that they would never love again. When Bullock's character is a little girl, she makes a potion out of all of the things she wants the man of her dreams to be. Throughout the story, the witches are attempting to fall in love with the "right" guy and find happiness. In the midst of all this, the witches end up killing a man by accident, and they try to cover it up During this chaos, Bullock finally meets up with the man she once dreamed of. On the bad side, the film has too much of a fairy tale type storyline. This created the lack of a plot at times. It was not as realistic as I had hoped. In some scenes, the plot would thicken but then the excitement would be over. On the good side, the story was a cute one. There was a message involved. As you can imagine, the witches were not accepted in the small town. But, after some of the townspeople interacted with the witches during a crisis, they realized they were not as bad of people as they had once thought. It was entertaining to see the struggle that the witches faced when looking for love. The part of the story when the policeman comes to investigate the murder, and Sandra's character realizes that this is going to be the man of her dreams, left me feeling glad that she was finally experienc­ ing true happiness. All in all, I thought the movie was a good one. Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman did an excellent job in their roles. If you're looking for a cute Halloween movie, "Practical Magic" is for you. Ned Kandzor Now boarding the angry music band­ wagon...Vanilla Ice. Though "Hard to Swallow," Ice's latest release, is a technical masterpiece, it is hard to take seriously. Ross Robinson, the same talent who has produced the first two of Korn's three major releases, goes to work on building a solid, dark and angry sound behind Ice's new idiotic, ruff-and-tough image of rage. However, no amount of credibility behind the pro­ duction board will make anyone who listens to this album believe that Ice has any­ thing to be angry about except that his lone hit, 'Ice Ice Baby' has been forever exiled to Karaoke nights down at the bars. I will admit the album is definitely well-pol- ished and chock-full of cool, hip samples, Johnathan Davis-like scatting and all-out lung- bursting screams-but then Vanilla Ice tries to rap. The rapping is still in typical Vanilla Ice {&. style, never getting deeper or more inginuative than "Rolling/In my five-point-oh," and his songs usually have nothing to do with rage at all, instead featuring topics such as getting stoned and being horny. These are not topics to scream about, and the results are laughable. Vanilla Ice knows he is nothing more than a novelty, and he shows it on this album. The track "F k me" is about Vanilla addressing the fact that he is a joke to the listening public ("Like Ginuwine/You tried to ride me like a pony") and he does the unthinkable and remakes "Ice Ice Baby" into the hard-core farce'Too Cold." If you are looking for respectable hard-core that expertly meshes the tough, hard sound of rap with the anger and energy of thrashing guitarwork, check out the lyrical and musical mastery of Korn or the power of Ice-T's Body Count. If you want a fashion statement, check out Vanilla Ice's "Hard to Swallow." Proper listening atmosphere for this album: Right after Puff Daddy's "No Way Out" at a weed-smoking, forty-drinking, college frat party. i W m w A planner for Oct. 29- Nov. 4 THURSDAY, OCT. 29 • • • Geography Speaker Series continues University of Nevada at Reno's Kate Berry of the geography department will talk about "Tribal Immunity and Water Rights."

"It's my freshman year and I just figured it would be fun," Thibodeaux, an elementary education major, said. "It was awesome." Thibodeaux said she has won other similar talent competitions in high school, but thought it was even better to win a college competition. "Shoot, I have school spirit," Thibodeaux said. "I like Central." Avey, a junior in business adminis­ tration, who just began his first year at Central, said the event made him slight­ ly nervous, but it was fun to compete. He played a piece on the piano, lemonstrating a talent h^ has been ^practicing for about 12 years. "It just sounded really fun," Avey said. "There's nothing to lose except pride."

Gallery One is a community non-profit gallery which has been around for 30 years and is still a popular place for locals to come and buy paintings and artwork. Most works are created by local artists, while the rest are from around the Northwest and throughout the country. "Our main goal at Gallery One is to exhibit artists' work and educate the community about former architect. A year and a half later, they the Ellensburg Community Art Gallery, was founded, with a building on Pine Street as its home and a woman as the art director. Eveleth Green, who had majored in art at the University of Washington and had been interested in art all her life, was the new director. Despite her schooling and her interest in the arts, she had no experience working an art-related jobs, but was eager to begin. "We didn't have much money," Green said. Earlier this year Green decided to call it quits. "I guess it's about time that I retire and let it be taken over by somebody else," Green said, recalling her reason. The Gallery One Board of Trustees voted Frances the new art director, who began just around Labor art." Mary Frances, art director of Gallery One, said.

Observer — Sports — Oct. 29, 1998 Tickets to the banquet, which will be held in the Tunstall Dinning Hall, will cost $30. There will be a reception, dinner and a program dedicated to Dean Nicholson.

Dean Nicholson, a former Wildcat head coach, will be making his first visit into the building named for his father, Leo Nicholson, since Dean left Central in 1990. by Toby Staab Sports editor Central women's soccer regained their winning form with two close wins this weekend and rewarded the few soccer fans brave enough to battle chilling winds and Homecoming fatigue. Although two-and-four in one-goal matches, Central overcame the gag reflex and didn't choke beating Gonzaga 2-1 on Friday and Western 1-0 on Sunday. Hard, aggressive play by senior forward Jessica Kennedy helped settle the women down and scores by senior mid-fielder Melissa Budde and senior forward Casey Cunningham iced the winning hopes of Gonzaga University much like Ellensburg wind. . "It was really more of a warm-up game, but it felt good," senior defender Melissa Sawyer said. "It felt good for all 13 of our seniors." And warm up they did as Sunday's win over Western Washington University was not only tough, but pay-back for last year's loss. "Beating Western was definitely a high point," senior mid-fielder Liz Colgan said. "Last season we lost to them and it is always a tough game." With spirited wins over Gonzaga and Western, the Wildcats head into their final three games with a chance at a school record of 13 wins. '^b^ne of us really think aljoui ^e'r^cord,'' Colgan said- "We've lost some close games but are more concerned with finishing the season on a winning note." Despite two close losses last week, the women worked hard all week on maintaining their intensity. According to Head Coach Jerrod Fleury, these two wins are just the boost of confidence the Wildcats need to finish the season strong. Though outmatched in speed, size and experience, the Wildcats played Gonzaga hard for the entire match and came out on top. "We played the full 90 minutes and they only played 80," Fleury said. Fleury was pleased with his team's performance in both games, but was especially proud of Sunday's effort. "On Sunday, we definitely got all-out performances from our players," Fleury said. :tf::x*x MP ill w ** * Xv.y.v.v.s sswmm kx*x* XvX mmm. .'A slltlltll'** X'X'X'X-X-X'I-X-X-lv^* ' vi!.v.v.M.v.y.v«.'v X-X-ttX-XvXvXvX .•AVAV.v.v.%yv.:AV.y.w.'.'. ••IllT Kevin Reitan/Observer Central's Carrie Boers blocks a Western player's kick in Sunday's 1-0 win.

It was Central's first PacWest victory of the season. by Joe Bair Asst. sports editor The end of the season is near for the Central volleyball team and already there is a sense of urgency for next fall. Central has struggled to produce wins in a season that has been plagued by injuries and inexperience. "I'm about ready for this year to be over," junior Rhonda Cooper said. "We're very young. I think we will do a lot better next year." Last Friday, the Wildcats finally ended a 13-match conference losing streak with a win over Simon Fraser 15-11, 15-5, 15-9. Central almost made it two in a row Saturday against Western Washington but the Vikings escaped Ellensburg with a win 15-4, 12-15, 15-7, 16-14. "The long losing streak was hard, but we're hanging in there," Cooper said. Earlier in the week, the Wildcats defeated Northwest College 15-7,15- 5, 11-15, 13-15, 15-7. See WIN, Page 2 7
Oct. 29, 1998 —• Sports — Observer v- Wolves walk away with upset win Western Oregon spoils Wildcat Homecoming with 40-39 victory Saturday by The Observer staff For a school that has had two NAIA ail-American kickers in the last 10 years, the Central Wildcats found out last Saturday just how important having a good, consistent kicker is. Western Oregon University kicker John Freeman served as that example of consistency. Freeman kicked four field goals to lead Western Oregon to a 40-39 upset of the Wildcats. For all the success and calmness of Western Oregon's kicking game, Central's was still in a state of flux and confusion. One extra point kick and two two-point conversions were missed. A punt was muffed and Steve Hickey missed a 39-yard field goal with less than two min­ utes left that would've won the game for Central. "It's his (Hickey's) job to step up and make those kicks," Central Head Coach John Zamberlin said after the game. But Zamberlin has more than his kicking game to worry about. His defense, previously the top- ranked defense in the Columbia Football Association (CFA) was shredded by the Wolves. What was left behind on the field was hard to swallow for the former New England Patriot line­ backer. Western Oregon racked up more than 400 yards in total offense and scored the most points Central has given up to a NAIA opponent since Humboldt State scored 40 last sea­ son. "You have a lack of concentra­ tion sometimes and you make mis­ takes," Zamberlin said. "The mis­ takes we made, made them (Western Oregon) better." The loss also overshadowed two outstanding offensive perfor­ mances by the Wildcat backfield of * »j JwXwX hi Hii y?: Kevin Reitan/Observer Central running back Dan Murphy runs for one of his three touchdowns against Western Oregon last Saturday. Murphy broke the school record for career rushing touchdowns with his 33rd. quarterback Casey Jacox and Dan Murphy, the junior running back from Royal City. Murphy set the school record for career rushing touchdowns at 33, after rushing for 179 yards and three scores against the Wolves. His two third-quarter touchdowns broke a record previously held by Pat Patterson and Ed Watson with 31 career rushing touchdowns. Jacox also had his best game of the year completing 22 of 36 pass­ es for 332 yards and three touch­ downs. "We had all the chances in the world," Jacox said. "But we just had some stupid mistakes." Those mistakes came in the form of 12 penalties for the Wildcats. Central also turned the ball over four times, twice in the last five minutes of the game.

The junior all-American kicker, who missed a 57-yard field goal in the first quarter, converted on four field goal attempts including a 51 yarder, arid the game winner, a 48 yarder with eight minutes left in the fourth quarter. "I've got plenty of leg, my problem has been just putting it through the uprights," Freeman said. Western Oregon head coach Blaine Bennett won his third straight game against the Wildcats and sounded thankful to get out of Ellensburg with a win. "We got some breaks today," Bennett said. "And that's the crazy thing about the game of football, you never know when the ball is going to bounce your way and today it bounced our way." The Wildcats step out of league play next week to host Eastern Oregon, a 24-7 winner over Puget Sound last week. The Mountaineers, 3-4 on the season, are competing as an inde­ pendent this season. Eastern Oregon lost to the Wildcats 32-21, last season in La Grande, Ore. Central, ranked 13th in this week's top 25 poll, will still get the CFA's automatic playoff berth if they sweep their last two league contests and finish in the top 20 in the final NAIA poll.

The thrill of the ride overpowers any fear of being washed away by Mother Nature. "I'll ride all day long taking four to five hours," Mike Yaeger, junior, said. "I like to cover 30 to 40 miles each time I go." Manastash Ridge is a popular place to find exciting bike trails. But if it is the west side of the state that targets your biking experience, then the Capital Forest in Olympia or Noble Nob at Mt. Ranier can deliver all the adrenaline boost you need. The expense of riding cross­ country, no matter where you choose to spend your time, can be costly. A start-up bike that is safe and dependable will run prospec­ tive cyclists a pretty penny.

Dean Nicholson will return for a banquet in his honor on Nov. 7 to the school he left eight years ago in scandal. "I was raised in Ellensburg and lived there for some time," Nicholson said. "I have a lot of fond memories there." Nicholson, the son of Leo Nicholson for whom the pavilion is named, coached basketball for 26 seasons at Central after succeeding his father who coached for 34 sea­ sons. Combined, the father-son coach­ ing team gave Central more than 1,000 basketball victories. Central holds the record for the most NAIA tournament appearances. Alumni and faculty respect Nicholson for more than just his coaching record. In their eyes, he was out to help students who may not have made it without him. "He took players with a magic that most people couldn't recog­ nize," Barbara Radke, director of university relations, said. "And he was able to turn them into scholars and gentlemen." His financial dealings with ath­ letes eventually cost Nicholson his job at Central. An internal audit report revealed he dispensed more than $65,000 to 49 students in three years. The money came from Nicholson's summer basketball camps. According to the report by then auditor Ezzat Mina, Nicholson used the money to help his players pay for basketball accessories and tuition. The report left friends and sup­ porters stunned by the allegations and Nicholson's resignation, which was immediately granted by then Central President Donald Garrity. Many felt his resignation was prema­ ture, but Nicholson said he was planning on retiring soon anyway. "It was a mixed reaction, one of real shock," Gary Frederick, athletic illl M*IM courtesy of University Relations Dean Nicholson was Central's men's basketball coach from 1965-90. His teams won a record 609 games. director, said. "He was very revered as a coach and an individual." Despite the allegations, Nicholson's admirers will remember him as basketball legend and an kindhearted educator. Over his career, Nicholson has been inducted into three halls of fame including the NAIA, CWU and the Washington State Basketball Coaches Association Hall of Fame. The year 1970 brought him the NAIA National Coach of the Year award when he led Central to a sec- ond-place finish in the national tour­ nament. On seven occasions, Nicholson was voted NAIA District I Coach of the Year. "In coaching, you run the gaunt­ let of emotion every season with all the games and players," Nicholson said. Nicholson earned honors in the classroom as well, by being given CWU's Distinguished Teacher Award in 1983. As a student at Central, Nicholson was involved in school activities. As a basketball player, he was All-Conference for four consec­ utive years. He played under his father's coaching, for Central's basketball team of 1950 which was the first time Central secured a berth in the NAIA national tournament. Nicholson holds the eighth position in Central's record books with 1,377 points as a basketball player. Nicholson also lettered in tennis and baseball. Off the playing fields he was voted president of the student body. As a baseball player he led the Evergreen Conference in 1950. The banquet comes at the end of Nicholson's coaching career, as he retired and is living near Oakland, Calif. Nicholson is a native of Ellensburg, and many of his friends and admirers are anxious for his return. The banquet, chaired by Scott Repp, will bring Nicholson and his son, Gary, to Ellensburg. . Athletic development director, Brett Manock, said this is a good time to honor Nicholson and bring him back to Ellensburg, as he retired from coaching Yakima Valley Community College last spring. "It's an opportunity for both the community and the university to at long last give him a night of recogni­ tion and a pat on the back," Repp said.

Observer — Sports — Oct. 29, 1998 21 WIN: Wildcats take two in a row before falling to Western Washington Continued from Page 7 7 "Those were good wins for us," coach Mario Andaya said. "The girls are starting to control the ball better and I'm happy with the way they're developing. We're not getting blown away in our losses, they've all been pretty close." Andaya knew his team would take its lumps this season. At times, Central has four freshmen in the starting line- • up. "Youth and injuries have hurt," Andaya said. "Also, the transition from high , school to col­ lege is really tough." Junior Susan Adams thinks it just took the team awhile to gel. "We've struggled getting used to playing together," Adams said. "The team has improved a lot, but it's just taken awhile. We just have to keep pushing for more wins." Cooper was a driving force in the Wildcats win over Northwest College, finishing with 17 kills and 14 digs. In Friday's win over Simon Fraser at Nicholson Pavilion, both Cooper and freshman Kim Werkau We just have to keep pushing for more wins. 5 • —Susan Adams smacked 1JL kills, while Orgill and junior Teanah Trolio had 10 apiece. The Wildcats loss to Western was hard for Adams to swallow. "That was a tough loss," Adams said. "It was pretty disappointing." Werkau and freshman Laura Aurelio dominated at the net for Central with 14 and 10 kills respec­ tively, and Cooper led the defense with 16 digs. Tuesday night, visiting Pacific Lutheran University needed a late —— rally to get past Central in a non- conference match. After losing the first game 15- 10, Central smoked Pacific Lutheran 15-4 in the second game. The Lutes ral­ lied to 16-14 and 15-13 wins in the final two games to secure the win. Orgill paced the Wildcats with 18 kills, followed by Cooper's 15 kills and 23 digs. With a play-off berth nowhere in sight, Central will play its final three games in preparation for a more suc­ cessful season next fall. "The girls are working hard and we're going to be good in the future," Andaya said. "Our young kids have showed a lot of potential."

Men's rugby clinches tournament title by Scott Earle Staff reporter Central men's rugby made the most out of last weekend's trip to Bellingham and came home as the men's Hog-Fest Invitational champi­ ons. Battling it out against Gonzaga University, Western Washington University, Washington State University and the University of Washington, the Wildcats played well enough to come home tourna­ ment champions. Central wanted to stress good defense for the weekend and they came out in the tournament opener and executed. "Our defense came to play in the Gonzaga game, we didn't allow them to have many opportunities on our side of the field," senior Scott Mcllraith said. Central started their weekend off against Gonzaga University. The Wildcats didn't come out and bury the Zags, but good defense and ball- handling was more than Gonzaga could handle as Central went on to win 19-0. Although they didn't continue the shut out trend against cross-state rival Western Washington University, Central picked up its offense and beat up on Western 30- 12. Central had too much speed and passed the ball too well for Western to have a chance against the Wildcats. Good runs by the outside half kept Western off balance and one step behind Central's forwards. With most of their second team playing against Washington State University, Central was shut out 10- 0. In a sport where injuries are com­ mon, having experienced substitutes is important. And there is no better time to give people quality experi­ ence than during beginning of the year tournaments. "Our second side played hard and fought tough, but they just couldn't get together as a unit to score," assis­ tant coach D.W. Curtis said. In what would have been the championship game of the tourna­ ment, the University of Washington backed out giving Central the tourna­ ment. Washington had too many injuries and didn't feel it was wise to compete under such conditions. The forfeit gave Central a 3-1 record on the weekend and a good feeling about the tournament play. "We've definitely played better than we did this weekend, but we won and that is really all that mat­ ters," Mcllraith said. Freshman Nate Larson, who played on the U-19 National team this summer, showed his teammates what he can bring to the team, as he scored two tries and played sound rugby this weekend. Chad Mead and Tim Tyler also had good weekends for the Wildcats, scoring two tries a piece. On a week­ end where teamwork dominated, these three players shined as individ­ uals. "Timmy Tyler played awesome this weekend and so did Chad, but they did well because of our good teamwork," senior Jeremy Erickson said.

Observer — Sports — Oct. 29, 1998 Baseball swings for spring this fall by Shane Roy Contributing writer Looking to get back to the form that saw them win 30 games in 1997, Central's baseball team has been hard at work this past month, giving Head Coach Desi Storey a chance to look over new recruits and get ready for the upcoming season. "Fall ball gives us a chance to evaluate all the new faces," Storey said. After figuring to be one of the top teams in the region last season, the Wildcats were haunted by poor aca­ demics and injuries, limping to a 21- 25-1 finish. Adding to the disap­ pointment was the graduation of a talented senior class, leaving Storey with a young, inexperienced team for 1999. "Our biggest loss was our overall senior group," Storey said. "We lost our whole starting infield." One thing Central will have in supply for the upcoming season is pitching. Assistant coach/pitching coach Steve Sherrill has never seen so much depth in this area of the team. "This is the most depth we've had on our pitching staff since I've been here," Sherrill said. "We don't have the quality in our starting pitch­ ing that we've had before, but over­ all, this is our best depth." Headlining the pitching staff is senior Scott Earle. Two years ago, the right-hander tied a school record with 11 victories. One of the more prominent recruits picked up by Storey was junior Scott Kelly, a for­ mer Lewis-Clark State pitcher. "He's the hardest throwing left­ hander we've ever had," Sherrill said. . Another pitcher who saw exten­ sive action last year was Josh Clark. Now a sophomore, Clark is a domi­ nating presence on the mound, as his 6-foot-4-inch, 210-pound frame would attest. "Josh has all the physical tools to make it at this level," Sherrill said. Also figuring to be keys in the pitching mix are seniors John Arstad and Curtis Perry and juniors Justin Fairbanks and Toby Russ. "We should have a pretty strong bullpen," Sherrill said. "But you just can't get too excited over fall ball because you don't know how many of these guys are going to be eligible come spring time." While pitching will be a strength, manufacturing runs might be a diffi­ cult task. Only sophomore catcher Colby Sherrill and senior Tom Ammerman saw much playing time last season. Sherrill made the most of his chances, hitting six home runs, mmm Brad Baker/Observer Sophomore Ryan McCarthy takes low and away for ball four during Central's baseball practice. The Wildcats hope to improve on last season's 21 -25-1 record this spring. three of those being grand slams. Of the Wildcats 25 losses last season, 11 were to traditional powers Albertson College of Idaho and LC State. In 1999, Central will only play these teams a combined seven times in their 53-game schedule. "Take away our 2-11 record against those teams, and we would have had a pretty good season,'? Storey said. With two regional berths up for grabs in the North for the indepen­ dents, Storey sees his Wildcats in a battle with LC State and George Fox to advance to the play-offs. "George Fox was pretty young last year, and LC is always tough," Did you know? You can check out the Observer online at: www.cwu.edu /-observer. !

One thing is for certain, Central isn't conceding anything to anyone. "We're going to be better than we were last year," Storey said. "If we can stay healthy and academically eligible, there's no reason we can't win 30 games and claim one of the play-off berths.1' INTERESTED IN OFFICIATING HI SCHOOL,OS JS.

Oct. 29, 1998 — Sports — Observer Women's rugby goes hog wild by Scot! Eat7c Spoi ls Reporter The women's rugby team traveled to Bellingham last weekend and but- tied against Trinity College of Canada, Washington State University and Western Washington University to win the women's Hog»fesi Invitational Tournament. Central's women wasted no time in the tournaments opening game as they quickly jumped out in front of Trinity 19-0, Using a balanced attack with their forward line and good teamwork, the Wildcats never looked back as they pounded Trinity 37=0. Superior teamwork and athleti- cism allowed Central to set the tone in its victory over Trinity College, By heating up on a team they are sup­ posed to beat, Central let all the teams at the tournament know they came to play, "We worked well as a team this weekend, passing and making runs that put us in good position to score," senior Tabetha Magnuson said. Coming off a lop-sided defeat of Trinity, Central kept their momentum into the second game as they defeated Washington State University. The Wildcats once again used great team­ work and defense to outplay Washington State 25-0. With the shut­ out of the Cougars, Central finished its weekend without allowing the opposition to score. Defense dominat­ ed both games and kept the opposition off their side of the field for the majority of the weekend. Michelle Sipes got her season off to a fast start with five tries on the weekend, three coming against Washington State. Sipes' good week­ end was a direct result of great team­ work and ballhandling by the Wildcats. • W:'- J ?,,,.,.* • • •*-= 'u •sdsss&s Matthew Worden/Qbserver )en Wengel carries the ball during a recent practice while teammates (left to right) Michelle Sipes and Paige Mathis give chase.
