CENTRAL Thursday, Feb: 18,1 '999/ Vol. 72 No. 13 http://www. cwu. e d u/~ o bs erver meeting in review: Localized tuition by Carrina Galloway and Daren Schuettpelz Asst. news editors The Board of Trustees (BOT) met last Friday and discussed the tuition proposal made by the Council of Presidents (COP). The proposal includes recommendations the board would like to see should a bill by Governor Locke pass in the state leg­ islature. The bill would give control of tuition setting to.the trustees of eaph state university or college. Each BOT could raise tuition up to 5 per­ cent per year. The COP proposal attempts to ensure students and parents can plan for the future. "We should do everything we can to ensure students of a predictable tuition increase," BOT member Fritz Glover said. Eastern Washington University and the University of Washington support the COP proposal. UW administrators plan tuition increases if the bill passes, while the struggling Eastern may lower its tuition to attract more students.

Several unresolved issues were brought to the board and were turned away without answer until the next meeting in April, or perhaps later. At a 9 a.m., study session, the BOT and Faculty Senate Chair John Alsoszatai-Petheo met to analyze the reasons for disparity in Central's fac­ ulty salaries. Nationally, Central fac­ ulty are paid in the fourteenth per­ centile and out of six public four- year institutions in Washington, Central is last. A briefing paper, compiled by the office of Central President Ivory Nelson, sparked conversation among session attendees and lead BOT member Fritz Glover to offer a three- part motion at the regular session. Glover's motion directed Nelson to define and implement more effi­ cient policies regarding faculty salaries. The motion also called for Nelson to report regularly to the BOT on the issue. BOT member Leslie Jones moved that the motion, which had been moved by Glover and seconded by Mike Sells, be tabled to which the only dissent was Glover. Alsoszatai-Petheo and other fac­ ulty members have expressed disdain for the board's inactivity oh this issue. If Glover's motion had been passed, said Alsoszatai-Petheo, it would have been a step toward meet­ ing both state mandates and the board's own resolution passed in October which promised action to be taken towards achieving faculty salary parity. "Here was their chance to commit all of their energies to this issue and they blew it off," Alsoszatai-Petheo said. "It raises some serious concerns as to what their priorities are." Alsoszatai-Petheo also said the BOT was unwise to disregard Glover's motion because, unlike other faculty salary proposals, it did not originate from the faculty. The See BOT, Page 4 Summer session budget raises student concerns Daren Schuettpelz/Observer ASCWU-BOD President Bruce Eklund addresses the BOT, Faculty Senate Chair john Alsoszatai-Petheo looks on. by Daren Schuettpelz Asst. news editor The 1999 summer session budget proposal ruffled several feathers at last Friday's BOT meeting. The summer tuition will go up on average 3.7 BOT voted in favor of the summer school budget proposal which increases the tuition on aver­ age 3.7 percent but confusion still remains. Complaints arose because approximately $5.06 of the tuition per credit will go to the Division of Student Affairs to support Services and Activities (S&A) during the summer. Currently students do not pay a summer S&A fee. Associated Students of Central Washington University President Bruce Eklund had concerns about student money being used without their consent. He said it is student money and students should be informed how it is divvied out. "Just the fact that there was a decision like that made without any student imput whether it be us, or whether it be the S&A Fee Committee, it concerns me," Eklund said. Provost David Dauwalder said this division of money occurred every year and that in coming years summer payments may be separated between "tuition" and a "student activities fee."

Walnut #3 Located next to Video Central by Daren Schuettpelz Asst. news editor A student's gripe against his for­ mer professor overflowed last Friday in front of Bouillon Hall around 10 a.m. Central student Jacob Shapley marched in front of Bouillon Hall with a placard that read, "Don't take a math classes from Dr. J. Harper! Ask me why!" Shapley picketed for about two hours, attracting the atten­ tion of many students and faculty. Shapley explained why students should not take Dr. Harper's classes. "He publicly ridiculed students, I reported him and he found out about it and retaliated against me," Shapley said. Shapley's story began during fall quarter as a transfer student from Olympic College. He took a math class from Harper who Shapley accused of humiliating students in front of the class. One incident Shapley often referred to involved Harper publicly belittling a disabled student for not having a note taker. Rob Harden, director of Disability Support Services (DSS), said it is in fact the duty of the facul­ ty to provide note takers to students in need. Faculty are supposed to take the initiative and ask for volunteers and, if that is unsuccessful, the facul­ ty are to contact DSS for assistance. Shapley said Harper would not let him make up a test he missed because of an illness but let another student make up the final exam because she was not going to be at class for the final exam. Harper's syllabus makes no mention of his policy regarding missed tests. As a result of missing the test and several quizzes, Shapley did not get the grade he felt he deserved. Shapley said he followed the grievance channels all the way up to Central's President Ivory Nelson. Because of his dissatisfaction with the grievance system he decided to go public. "I have talked to everyone and they want to keep it quiet," Shapley said. "I'm boycotting the whole grievance process." Harper said he did not want to comment on Shapley's picketing because he did not want to fan the fire of controversy. Shapley complained his griev­ ance has not been given proper atten­ tion. He claimed his appeals to Nelson were largely skipped over and Nelson's secretary was given the job of handling Shapley's com­ plaints. Shapley also complained about the policy of informing a professor : who complains about them. Associated Dean of the College of Arts and Humanities Philip Backlund said the faculty have a right to know if someone complains about them, under the First Amendment. "He (Harper) is up for tenure and a professor who mocks students should not get tenure," Shapley said. % % % Four students in a light blue sedan stopped at an accident at 8:30 a.m, December 11, 1998, on westbound 1-90 at Elk Heights.

Observer — News — Feb. 18, 1999 E Center is about help, not name change PaulLohse Asst. online editor Many women at Central are ques­ tioning the Women's Resource Center's (WRC) decision to change both its name to the Center for Student Empowerment (E Center) and its focus. Some believe the mission of the Center for Student Empowerment is ambiguous and students need a place which deals with gender-related issues. "Women still need to know they have a place to go and a place to get referrals," Deb Carlsen, Women's Student Organization president, said. Katrina Whitney, director of the E Center, said the center will continue to provide information to students about concerns. Whitney announced WRC's name change in an open memo in January. In the memo, Whitney said the name change was in response to changing perspectives on gender issues shown by 1-200. Passed by Washington voters last November, 1-200 prohibits the state from granting preferential treatment in hiring and college admissions decisions. Whitney said while WRC did not change its name in response to 1-200, the outcome of the initiative helped influence the decision. "1-200 influenced us to address the issues of women in an innova­ tive, creative and positive way that will involve all members of the cam­ pus community," Whitney said. Trisha Eubank, co-coordinator of Western Washington University's Women's Center, said Western's stu- dent-run center has not felt pressured Women still need to know they have a place to go and a place to get referrals. —Deb Carlsen to change either its name or its focus following 1-200. Eubank also said she believes issues important to women at colleges and universities are best addressed by women's cen­ ters. The E Center will continue pro­ viding women with a resource and referral service, but Whitney said she believes both sexes need to be involved in addressing concerns. Whitney said the number of women visiting the center has increased dra­ matically since the center changed its focus allieviating some of the con­ cerns about the center's focus. "When looking at women's issues, we can not expect women to take all the responsibility to deal with these issues," Whitney said. "It is important that we include all individ­ uals from all different backgrounds, cultures, and ethnicities in this endeavor." While Whitney and others are hopeful of the center's new focus, others are skeptical. Anne Denman, dean of the College of the Sciences (COTS), said she believes the E Center's focus is too generalized. Denman said many forums and orga­ nizations already exist to address non-gender related concerns. "The Center for Student Empowerment seems so vague," Denman said. "It seems that it has no clear purpose." Christina Lee, ASCWU-BOD vice president for equity and commu­ nity service, said she believes WRC's decision to change the focus of the center is important. Like Denman, Lee said she is not exactly certain what empowerment encompasses. Sociology Professor Laura Appleton said she believes WRC's focus was more clear before it became the E Center. "If I were a student, where would I know to go?" Appleton said. "It (the Center for Student Empowerment) does not say any­ thing about what the focus is." Franchise threatens E-burg's video rental market mm Amy Jensen/Observer A Hollywood Video, like this one in Olympia, will be completed this April on Main Street in Ellensburg. by Krissie Hughes Staff reporter Bright lights, small city. A corpo­ rate video chain will soon invade the Ellensburg business scene with mixed reactions. A Hollywood Video is being built . on Main Street across from Ellensburg Floral, and will be open by the middle of April.

Superintendent Dale Beauchamp said the building process is going very well with the exception of typi- • I cal weather delays. Although this franchise video store will bring broader video options to Ellensburg, many resi­ dents wonder how this will affect Ellensburg's nine video rental stores. Ellensburg Video owner Ruth Bare said that the new store is going to hurt the smaller video stores. Bare also said the franchise businesses were going to come sooner or later, and that Ellensburg Video will have to control its inventory and labor .more efficiently in order to survive. . "Competition and free trade, that's what it's all about," said Bare. "You sink or swim." Larry Sharpe, owner of Alternate Channels Video for 16 years, also feels that the local video stores will feel a large impact from Hollywood Video and the new store may take business from the other stores. However, he doesn't think anybody will go out of business. "This happens all the time in small towns, and we will have to offer what they cannot, which is bet­ ter service and more knowledgeable people," said Sharpe. A.C. Video is currently making several changes to the interior of the store. They are currently remodeling to make room for Figaro's Pizza, which will be housed in the same building within three weeks.

GALA plans to present the completed petition to the BOT. by Matthew Worden Photo editor National Freedom to Marry Day, a cause supported by Paul Reiser, Whoopi Goldberg, Helen Hunt, David Duchovny, and other celebrities, was celebrated by Central students last friday. The Gay and Lesbian Association (GALA) supported Freedom to Marry Day by holding a nation­ wide Marriage Resolution campaign on campus. GALA members staffed a booth in the SUB last week where students could sign the resolution. Near the booth they hung a poster to draw attention to the many celebri­ ties who support the cause. Friday afternoon GALA showed the movie, "Gay Marriages in Hawaii." An ordained minister was also on hand to answer questions about same-sex mar­ riages. Same-sex marriage was banned by the Washington State legislature on Feb. 7, 1998. Although many religious faiths will perform same-sex marriage ceremonies, the unions are not legally recognized in any state. The Marriage Resolution, circulated by the National Freedom to Marry Coalition, was drafted in opposition to this policy. The resolution, which was circulated on ^ We're not asking for special rights, just equal rights. 99 — Maredith Dixon campus for nearly a week, states that "mar­ riage is a basic human right and individual personal choice." It also states "The state should not interfere with same-gender cou­ ples who choose to marry and share fully and equally in rights, responsibility and commitment of civil marriage." "I don't feel the government should interfere with people's individual personal rights." Paul Haury a junior computer science premajor said. GALA members felt they had a good response from students. However, some stu­ dents were hesitant to sign the petition thinking they had to be gay or lesbian to support the cause, which GALA says isn't the case. GALA encourages all who are straight, gay, or lesbian to join GALA. Central student Kelly Rosenboom is a het­ erosexual who has been married for seven years but supports the rights of homosexu­ als. "If you love somebody you should have that right to celebrate that love like any other married couple, and be able to receive the same benefits," Rosenboom said. GALA president Maredith Dixon, said the signed resolution will be presented to the Central's Board of Trustees to show awareness of the issue. "I don't know what the problem is with same gender couples wanting to get mar­ ried," Dixon said. "We're not asking for special rights, just equal rights." Jane Newall, an ordained minister, field­ ed questions on where religion stands on same-sex marriages. Newall has a masters degree in theology and divinity from Yale University. She is also the founder of the Rainbow Cathedral a non-denominational gay and lesbian-friendly church in Yakima. Newall discussed her reasons for supporting same-sex marriage. Linda Bautista, phone line coordinator for GALA, mirrored Newall's stance. "This is not about morals or religious text," Bautista said. "It's about economic equality." GALA is also planning events for Pride Week in May. For more information on Freedom to Marry Day and the .Marriage Resolution go to http://www.ftm.orgv BOT: failure to decide causes anger Continued from Page 7 motion was a direct result of calls for accountabil-. ity by the state and suggestions from the board's own committee. "We live in an age where accountability is very important," Alsoszatai-Petheo said. "This is a measure of accountability that addresses the stew­ ardship the board and the President exercise with resources allotted by the state." Another issue left in the dark by the BOT was that of tuition-setting policies. Whether or not to give each state university the power to raise or lower its own tuition has become an issue in the state. Proposals by the Council of Presidents (COP), Governor Gary Locke and the Higher Education Coordinating Board (HECB) are all vying for approval by the legislature. Nelson brought the COP tuition proposal to the board for approval, and Glover suggested the BOT consider the HECB proposal. However, after less than 15 minutes deliberation over the issue, the board decided to wait for the legislature to make a decision before deciding what to support. "I think it was prudent to wait for the legisla­ ture," Glover said. However, not everyone agrees with the board's There may be good answers, but for the moment we're in a vacuum and actions speak louder than words. 99 —John Alsoszatai-Petheo decision. The board's next meeting does not take place until April, near the end of the legislative session. Associated Students of Central Washington University Board of Directors (ASCWU-BOD) President Bruce Eklund said the university should be clear in its message to the state about all of its needs, including the needs of students for stable tuition policies. 'Tuition is one of the biggest issues and our administration has no stance on it," Eklund said. "That really concerns me." In Eklund's report to the BOT, he reported one last failure on the part of the BOT and Central administration. Eklund reported that during high­ er education day at the legislature last week, ASCWU-BOD Vice President for Political Affairs Kyle. Aim met with representatives of" the Governor's Office of Financial Management (OFM) about Central's bid for design money for Hertz Hall. Aim reported that Harvey Childs of OFM told him since Central had not specified whether it was going to rebuild or remodel Hertz, OFM had suggested predesign money for the project, despite the fact that Central has already done a predesign of the facility. "OFM is dealing with a limited budget. They received $2 billion in capital, requests a^nd they're only allowed to make $1 billion in. allotments," Aim said. "So, what- they do is go through and weed out anything with ambiguities." Through the gauntlet of issues which arose at Friday's BOT meeting one thing remained con­ stant. Many people came to the meeting hoping to have questions answered and stances taken, and the BOT's response was a let down to some. "What kind of message does this send to Olympia?" Alsoszatai-Petheo said. "There may be good answers, but for the moment we're in a vacuum and actions speak louder than words." CHI'S Do you wanna look great in those shorts without losing weight?

Observer — News — Feb 18, 1999 Student lawsuit has state, national potential Former foster child claims Social Security benefits were wrongly taken by Alan Grimes Asst. copy editor Qr Sophomore Dan Keffeler's suit against the Department of Social and Health Services (DSHS) has become the progenitor of a class-action law­ suit against the state of Washington. The case, which is currently ^ being appealed to the Washington Supreme Court, would require the state to reimburse Social Security moneys to children in foster care. DSHS obtained control of Keffeler's Social Security payments and desig­ nated that money for foster parents' % use. Keffeler's mother died when he was 12 and he was remanded to fos­ ter care. Though his grandmother was originally appointed to regulate his payments, DSHS successfully C3 applied for management of Keffeler's Social Security. Okanogan attorney Rodney Reinbold represent­ ed Keffeler's attempt to retain con­ trol of his payments. "He's (Reinbold) always been kind of a friend of the family," Hill You don't see an overwhelming number of foster kids going to college. —Dan Keffeler Keffeler, a fitness and sports man­ agement premajor, said. Foster care payments are cut off at the age of 18, and many former foster children have difficulties after support is removed. "Some people may feel the state deserves to get Social Security bene­ fits, but to do so shuts down a per­ son's ability to advance after foster care," Keffeler said. "You don't see an overwhelming number of foster kids going to college." Keffeler has been in more than one foster home and needed a goal- setting attitude to get where he is today. "You like to see somebody over­ come adversity, and he's (Keffeler) done it," Reinbold said. For eight years, Reinbold and fel­ low attorney Richard Price, a spe­ cialist in class-action lawsuits, have fought and won at every level. Previous cases against stafe con­ trol of Social Security have all result­ ed in revocation of state rights in favor of the individuals' control over their own Social Security benefits. In the 1973 case of Philpot vs Esex County Welfare Board the US Supreme Court ruled that disability benefits for veterans could not be exchanged for exemption from Social Security benefits. In the 1988 case of Bennett vs Arkansas, the U. S. Supreme Court recognized that neither the government nor creditors could utilize felons' Social Security benefits as reparation for state costs. 'This case is to determine if they (the state) treat foster children worse than they treat prisoners," Reinbold said. The state has appealed the case and no reparations or changes in pro­ cedure need to be made until a deci­ sion is finalized. Although the Washington Supreme Court is able to pick and choose cases, Reinbold is confident that this case is important enough for the court to address. Not only will the result involve reparations to for­ mer foster children from 1975 to the present, but also approximately 1,500 foster children in the system now. "I think it's a very justifiable cause" Reinbold said. Still, with the amassed resources of the state trying to prevent a loss of millions of dollars, the case is going to be difficult. If the Washington Supreme Court rules in favor of Keffeler, the impli­ cations become national. The prece­ dent set by Washington would no doubt be used as a precedent in other states. A national standard could then be provided through the US Supreme Court. In contrast to the benefits, the DSHS could be irreparably crippled. Debra Casparian of the Washington Attorney General's Office said a ruling against the state would probably result in a cut in DSHS services. Consequently, feder­ al support would not be as effective. "The Social Security administra­ tion is supportive of what the depart­ ment is doing," Casparian said. A January 7 article printed in the Seattle Post-Intelligencer incorrectly reported that Keffeler was receiving a football scholarship. While Keffler plays for both the football and rugby teams, he does not have an athletic scholarship from Central. Kvalley, Central's connection crisis Too many users online create a traffic jam in cyberspace by KpinReUan Staff reporter It's Sunday night around 11 p.m., a student has a project due Monday morning and needs to access the Internet. The problem with this scenario is that everyone else is doing the same thing. This dilemma takes place almost every night of the week because a small group of students get online and stay there all night tying up the limited number of modems available to Central students. This is not a new problem for stu­ dents living on campus, last quarter the same complaints were voiced. Many students are unhappy about the long waits to get online during the week, specifically Sunday through Thursday from 5 p.m. until around midnight. 'The weekends usually aren't the problem, I can usually get online in the first couple of tries," sophomore administrative management major Colin Walker said. "It's during the week when get I frustrated, on some nights I've had to try more than a hundred times before I could get online." ADS runs Kvalley, the Internet service used by students living on campus. They currently have 144 modems serving approximately 1,400 students. This means they are in compli­ ance with the ratio they are contract­ ed for, one modem for every 10 stu­ dents. ADS has 48 more modems on back order this will put them well above the contracted 10:1 ratio. "We are hoping the extra modems will help solve the problems," Chris Schmidt, manager of Advanced Data Systems, said. "However, we are leaving it up to the, university to deal ...on some nights I've had to try more than a hundred times before I could get online. V« —Colin Walker with the students who are tying up the available modems." Central, in cooperation with ADS, is working on a couple solu­ tions to the problem. To deal with the students who are staying online for extended periods of time Rob Chrisler, director of operations and resource management is sending a letter about Internet etiquette. The letter will ask students to limit Internet use. However, unless a stu­ dent is obviously just leaving their computer connected, it's is nothing resource management can do. The other part of the solution is the responsibility of ADS. An alter­ native to dial up Internet access is being tested on a limited basis. Twenty-four new digital service lines (DSL) are in use around campus. These lines carry data and voice over the same line at different frequencies. This allows users to be on the Internet and talk on the phone at the same time. For this system to work the user must have a network card. A ethernet card can transmit data at speeds as high as 10 megabytes per . second, compared to 56 kilobytes per second (1 megabyte equals 1000 kilobytes) with the fastest available modems. In a test earlier this year, a com­ puter hooked up to a DSL down­ loaded Netscape Communicator in five minutes the same program takes close to three hours to down­ load over regular phone lines. Added benefit to DSL is not having to dial into the network, the computer is automatically connected at start up. "If our tests are successful when the Internet contract comes up after this school year I'll look at bids for the DSL system," Chrisler said. "Most importantly I'm looking for a bid that packages other utilities like cable, local and long distance phone service." Possibleinternet Solutions Students have many options available to them should they find they are hav­ ing difficulties with their Internet service. During business hours, stu­ dents can call Computing and Telecommunication Services at 963-2924. Advanced Data Systems can be reached for assistance at 962-4638 Students can also consider dialing Central's alternate Internet number, 963-8000. This number limits students to thirty minutes of service at a time. Students also have the option of purchasing their own internet services from other Internet providers. the - - : ":5. %'• Students living on campus using their the internet service may have to dial repeatedly to con­ nect to the internet. Problems arise when students stay online for too long. Central and Advanced Data Systems are working on the problem. Kevin Reitan/Observer ring- ft teak! eamn be ZIQK 6-lV U.

Gary Locke's 2020 Commission might affect the educations of students at Central. This time, the commission wants state universities to have control over tuition rates to market themselves better. The commission was created to determine what the state's education system would look like by the year 2020. After reading its report, however, it seems the business-oriented com­ mittee was more interested in what the state's labor force would look like. Not only was this committee tipped too far toward the business sector, but the co-chairs are both trustees at private universities in Washington State. According to the report, localized tuition control is needed to ensure the abilities of universities to be "entrepre­ neurial and deliver education efficiently." A bachelors degree in four years or it's free! "As institutions enter an era of competition with for-profit providers, niche or specialty market providers, and distance education providers, they will need to be able to adjust the prices they charge so as not to be disad­ vantaged in the market." When haven't the state universities been in competition with for-profit providers? But before now I can't recall state government asking the for-profit providers to shape the policies of the state universities. The 2020 Commission shouldn't hold all the blame, though. Gov. Locke liked the localized tuition control idea so much that he included it in his budget plan. Locke seems to go along with any plan for education that appears visionary. The plan might make some universities more marketable, but would be a terrible idea for Central, especially with our faculty salary inequities. If trustees raise tuition to fix the faculty salary problem and the other tight budgets on campus, our enrollment will decline. If trustees don't raise tuition, they will be faced with a faculty exodus. Central would then be one of the finest technical schools in the state. Or did the 2020 Commission already think of that? — Tom Stanton Lean' never '* o^jzgd tram sdpplitl fato 9L( FFE SOSMS • failed -fo del and imprest 4t etitk in cfojj. fmm yet d'gainfo/rf size dots marten LETTERS TO THE EDITOR • •• Put faith in God, not government Recently, it has become clear that there is a recurring theme that has become the mood which dominates this campus. The past few weeks this theme has become increasingly obvious in the Observer. That theme is anger. We have "The Students" who protest their pet peeves, demand their rights, and seek to shake up what they believe to be insufferable institutional prob­ lems. We have people who are angry at "The Students" for causing such a stir, we have those who are angry at the BOD for various problems, we have those distribut­ ing literature some have called "hate speech," as well as those who are angry at the ones who wrote the flyers. At times it seems that the Observer is a prime target for being a vehicle for individuals to vent their anger. The truth is, if anyone is looking to the "Students," the BOD, or the University administration for the ultimate answers to their problems, they will be sorely disap­ pointed. The fact of the matter is that the root of all of these problems they are angry about, as well as the root of the very anger they cling to, is what the Bible calls "sin." Someone once said that the deadliest dis- •• If everyone would serve others selflessly instead of demanding their rights selfishly, there would be far fewer problems to be angry about — Andy Paschen ease known to humanity is not the HIV virus, but the "SIN" virus. The answer to these problems will not come by angrily demanding our "rights." Jesus Christ gave us an example by serving others. If everyone would serve others selfr lessly instead of demanding rights selfishly, there would be far fewer problems to be angry about. The answers to the problems everyone is so angry about can only come by first pursuing a solid relationship with God through Jesus Christ. Only then can the anger be dealt with. Andy Paschen student White ribbons explained Recently, Campus Crusade for Christ has been pushing a campaign to encourage students to abstain from sex before mar­ riage. This has been symbolized with the usage of a white ribbon. While their cause is just and certainly worthwhile there has been some confusion regarding the symbol they have chosen. More to the point, the color is of issue.

The Center for Student Empowerment in collabora-' tion with the Women's Student Organization will be running the White Ribbon Campaign along with Take Back the Night May 3-7. Although the color white has tra­ ditionally represented purity, we do not wish to confuse the upcoming White Ribbon Campaign with that of Campus Crusade.'s. In closing, we would like to again share our concern in reference to the color of the ribbon chosen to represent the abstinence campaign. After speaking with David Hunter (director of Campus Crusade for Christ) it was clearly stated that their campaign is a nationally recognized event. However, after searching we were unable to find any information correlating their white ribbon campaign with abstinence. It is our hope that future campaigns will reflect more communication and research in order to alleviate any fur­ ther confusion involving the students of CWU and the associated mean­ ings brought forth by the ribbons' color. For any future clarification please contact www.netizen.org/wrc/ or related links. DebCarlsen President, Women's Student Organization Amanda TWggs , Center for Student Empowerment Ideas are meant to be challenged It has been said, "In a nation where guns are outlawed, only out­ laws will have guns." I say "On a campus where uncomfortable speech is outlawed, only those with some­ thing nasty to say will say anything." With the passage of this code, only those students who do not care what others think will open their mouths. Everyone else will hold their tongues in the fear that they may somehow offend somebody and thereby endan­ ger the diploma they desire so fer­ vently. A college education should broaden a person's mind. It should introduce a student to new ideas and cultures. It should challenge their belief systems and values. How can a professor challenge a student's beliefs without making the student a little uncomfortable and thereby vio­ lating that student's right to comfort under this speech code? This code is going to jeopardize the education I am already paying a great deal to get. Now, not only are my class choices smaller, my tuition higher, my oppor­ tunities after graduation scarcer but now my education will be watered down and thoroughly checked for uncomfortable facts. In my opinion, a great many of the students on this campus need to be acquainted with some uncomfort­ able facts. The first being, "If you rely on the government to solve your problems you will have a great deal of unsolved problems." This university should seek to produce students who can critically analyze, deliberate and come to independent intelligent conclusions. Adults can­ not afford to accept anything at face value or depend on anyone else to make their decisions for them. Multi-culturalism is uncomfort­ able as well. It is much easier to believe you are of some master race, unblemished and faultless, than face the harsh realities of a multi-cultural world. Everyone of every race has failings. In a multi-cultural world, you are forced to recognize the merit in others who are different from yourself. It is easier to glorify your­ self and belittle others than be i accepting. Any child can dredge up some mud. When we were in grade school we talked like children, we thought as children, we reasoned as children. Now that we are in college, we must put away childish things.

Each room brims with a potent, artistic energy nourished by the psychedelic music which ricochets from wall to wall, eventually escaping out into the hall. A group of students who are temporarily "stuck" lean against a wall. One member of the group blows bubbles while the others watch in awe. Before long, the group begins to find humor in the situation and, from their laughter and reflection, the creative juices begin to flow. Much more than students simply working to get a project done on time, the art department at night has developed a life of its own. "It's like no other art department," Wyatt Landis, a senior painting major, said. "We're kind of like mad scientists, but we don't wear the lab coats. After a while you get addicted to working at night." Strangely enough, while artists seem to be the least likely to strike it rich after receiving their degrees, they may work harder for their diplomas than students in several of the other more financially promising majors. Many say that the work they do late at night is not always by choice, but rather due to the extreme workload studio classes carry. "There's always some type of major project due," Tammy Abbey, a junior art major, said. "And all for three measly credits." Although sleep is a luxury and the projects just keep coming, there are a number of reward­ ing aspects to being an art student. This is evi­ denced by the enormous grins that so many art students find hard to disguise. One of the most obvious rewards comes as the student witnesses an idea that previously existed only within his own mind suddenly start to take shape within a more concrete medium. Another benefit is the close community which has developed among the students who Photos by Brian Seitz (Above left) Aaron McConnell takes a break to discuss his work. (Above right) David Sugimin, studio art major, chisels white plaster after his regular classes are finished for the day. Many art students work at night because their heavy class load does not allow them to work on projects during the day. regularly choose to spend their nights working In one room, sculptors use a hammer and late in Randall Hall. chisel to noisily chip away at various works In fact, even when major deadlines are not that are not quite "right" yet.

This special community has even developed a classifi­ cation system tp keep track of its members. They like to call it the "Animal Personification Series." "Every quarter we have something silly we do," "chip­ munk" Rich Gorgone, a senior sculpture major, said. "And this quarter it's the Animal Personification Series." Through the system, every willing member of the community is given an animal nickname and a matching animal identification card. Things like this keep the mood upbeat even when students are running on two hours of sleep or less.

The idea of working through the night would most likely cause many Central students to shudder. However, many of the students in the art department actually find tha t, due to the nature of their work, all-nighters tend to work to their advantage. "I like the period right around 3 a.m. when the right brain takes over and you enter into the dream state," Aaron McConnell, a senior paint­ ing major, said. "You never really know what you've created until you sleep on it and then come back." This concept of sleep-deprivation acting in the artist's favor seemed to be one of the more common sentiments^ expressed by the students. "Because art students are so poor, they can't afford hallucinogenic inspirations," Yom Hogan, a senior art major and recipient of the Farrell Scholarship, said. "So, they use sleep deprivation instead." Hogan's sexual innuendo comic strip series featuring the Caped Pickle plays evidence to his testimony. This series can be viewed in his upcoming Farrell Scholarship show. Hogan also designed and helped paint the wall mural in Teriyaki Central. It is not uncommon for students to spend their entire night on into the morning working in Randall. For many students, this all-night workshop is more common than a good night's rest.

10 Feb. 18, 1999— Scene — Observer r ESS&SWK Ben Jury/Observer Aging "Fountain" adds color and music to SUB by Jenny Hagatt . Staff reporter As students gather to eat lunch in the SUB the chatting and other background noises are comparable to a normal group of stressed-out college students. But in the SUB students are able to relax due to the calming background noise of the "Fountain." A Central art department graduate, Tim Hotsku, created the "Fountain" art piece found in the SUB in 1973. "The piece is very peaceful and passive," art professor William Folkestad said. "It functions well as a public sculpture and is a compliment to the eating and chatting atmosphere." The 27-year-old piece has acquired its own colors. The copper aging patina and the water flow have created all different shades of turquoise, from very strong and dark to faint and light. "I like the piece, but it hasn't been running since the beginning of the quarter," junior and early childhood education major Jennifer Ahina said. "I usually like to read by it when it is running." A pump in "Fountain" has been damaged and the sculpture is in the process of being repaired. Other students have a different outlook on the piece. "It is nice to have something in the SUB, but the pipes stick out and it isn't very clean," Robert Michaels, a graduate studying business, said. "I am eating and there is mold and dirt everywhere. Maybe if it were cleaned up a little it would be better." • . After taking a few moments to examine the "Fountain" freshman Dustin Stahl came up with mixed feelings about the piece. "It is odd looking, but it does create a calm setting," Stahl said. Stahl believes this piece has potential but the colors of the environment around the sculpture and the lighting could be better.

ARTISTS: Students work on art around the clock Continued, from Page 10 "I'm usually here six or seven nights a week," Gorgone said. "I like to take a night off, on occasion." Several students stated that there are actually more students in the art building at night than during regu­ lar class hours. On a good night, as many as fifteen or twenty stu­ dents may be found in any given room, and Friday and Saturday nights are no exception. "I like nights because you don't have to worry about being anywhere," Aaron Biackney, a sopho­ more art major, said.. "You don't have any other class­ es to go to, so you're able to focus more pn what you're doing." Particularly on the night before deadline, the stu­ dio is filled with an empowering energy as students begin to feed off of one another in a rush to get things done. " "The room gets a productive feel at night," Aaron Olson, a junior art major, said. "This is caused by a group of people working desperately to get something done." The intensity of the music increases and last minute ideas formed in desperation abound. *T PALACE CAFE since 1892 Tues. & Thur. $1.25 well drinks 9-midnight 4tli &t Main 925-2327 Often the air fills with a nervous energy as students search the depths of their skulls for any type of inspi­ ration that will take their projects to an even higher level. Occasionally a student is unable to find inspiration and may instead resort to destroying their work only to reform it in an entirely new way. Last minute decisions like this often lead to some of the best work and most experienced artists are all too familiar with this approach. As the anxiety increases and the night slips away, things do get done and eventually some of the students are able to return home to the com­ fort of their familiar beds. With another project out of the way, sleep almost certainly comes iselsy. ' -' - ' * ' But almost as certain as' the 'ease of sleep is the fact that the coming day will bring yet another project and with that will come countless more sleepless nights.

Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon," one of their highest- selling albums next to "The Wall," is an experimental con­ cept album wrapped around the idea that the . pres­ sures of daily life can lead to insanity.

« Observer — Scene — Feb. 18, 1999 Students ski powder at Red Mountain The Central Marketing Chapter hit the slopes of Canada this past holiday weekend and some non-member friends tagged along to join in the fun. by Claire Hein Asst. Scene editor Paying for a ski vacation one week in advance is a little like gambling. Sometimes you win big with fresh powder and sunshine, sometimes you lose big with high-speed winds and rain, but it's almost a guarantee you'll have a good time. The Central Marketing Chapter's annual ski trip to Red Mountain hit the jackpot for most of the 15 vacationers. Aside from a few skiing V (J iMlI ....

"I think the trip was excellent," Dave Conrad, a senior in economics and vice pres­ ident for public relations of the club, said. "I had a great time." The price of the trip included travel expenses, a three night hotel stay at the. Swiss Alps Inn in Rossland, B.C. and two lift tickets. The hotel was disappointing to some of the travelers because the brochure said the rooms would have kitchens and none of them did. "I brought food to cook, but there was no kitchen," freshman Demi Marsh said. "I wasn't planning on spending money eating out." - The skiing, however, made up for what the hotel rooms lacked. Red Mountain boasts 2,800 vertical feet of fresh snow, 360 degrees of skiiable terrain on two mountains and numerous runs for skiers of varying skills. Most skiers noticed the difference of the quality of snow and size of the ski area at Red Mountain compared to local venues. "It (Red Mountain) compares with Whistler and Sun Valley, but not anywhere in the Cascades," Jeff Heimkes, a senior in cul­ tural anthropology, said. The group from Central included skiers and snowboarders with as much as 26 years of experience to those with no experience at all. "There were a variety of levels which was nice," Heather Corbett, a senior in busi­ ness administration, said. "I've been skiing just six times and there were runs for me but also runs for more aggressive skiers." Although skiing was the main event of the trip, the group also had fun just socializing after the long day on the mountain was-over. "Skiing with Mends was fun, but I also enjoyed the social hour afterwards," Corbett said. Dan Martin, a former student at Central, was one of the four members of the group who were not involved in the Marketing Chapter and just went to have a good time. "It was fun meeting new people and a good way to spend the holiday weekend," Martin said. The Red Mountain trip is only one of the events Central's Marketing Chapter does throughout the year. The club's biggest fund­ raiser is their coupon book. "We probably broke even on this trip," Conrad said.

Over 500 collegiate MkiBting^ chap ' ters from all over the United States participate in the convention. During the event, various awards are given to the top chapters in the nation. Central's Marketing Chapter took top honors in 1996, receiving the Collegiate Chapters Award and has placed in the top ten in 1997 and 1998. To qualify for the award, clubs must submit an annual report of the year's events and fund­ raisers to the convention judges. The annual report is evaluated and scored according to how many fund-raisers and events the club orga­ nized and how successful they were. Out of the 500 chapters that attend the convention, Conrad said about 120 submit their annual reports to be judged. Organizing events that benefit the commu- , nity is one of the main items judges look for.

Feb. 18, 1999 — Scene — Observer WIZARD: Dark Side of the Moon coincides with Oz Continued from page 11 tied into their plastic chairs in Club Central, I tried to ask a few people what they had heard about the con­ spiracy. "All that I have heard was that it is better on 'shrooms," nutrition senior Todd Clirehugh said. Before I could, ask the opinions of a few* other students,n Dmnjmond hopped up before the giant, glaring­ ly-blue screen and explained the leg­ end the conspiracy. Apparently, Pink Floyd had heard of MGM Studios covering up a suicide that was acci­ dentally filmed during a scene (the part in the movie when Dorothy and the Scarecrow meet the Tin Man) and was only discovered after the release of the film.

Twenty-eight miles from Ellensburg down Vantage Highway, the park appears on the left hand side of the road. The dry, semidesert rattlesnake-infested vegeta­ tion may make a person want to turn around and drive back to Ellensburg. But, with a history dating back to 1936 and the massive geological changes that have occurred, the park offers visitors more than the eye can see. Central freshman Mike August viewed the scenery after completing the three mile hike. "I thought it was a real interesting hike and it felt good to get out of Ellensburg for a while," August said. Two hiking trails are provided, one for the adven­ turous, the other is a less strenuous hiking hill.

The Interpretive Trail is the easier trail, with a hik­ ing distance of less than a mile, a walking time of 30 minutes and an elevation gain of 200 feet.

"I thought it was pretty scenery and we learned about the basalt layers of the Columbia River, examined the dif­ ferent petrified logs and tried to guess how old the logs were," Leaverton said. The Civilian Conservation Corps constructed trails to points of interest, a contact station, museum, caretaker's house and the park's water supply. After three years the work tapered off. Central Geology Professor Dr. James Hinthorne said that a green forest with Conifers and Ginkgo trees stood where the park is now located around 13 million years ago. The forest was then covered with lava flows that, over time, petrified the dead vegetation. "I suggest students go there for the educational value of learning and piece by piece interpreting what hap­ pened to the forest and how lava evolved petrified logs," Hinthorne said. After hiking the trails, the museum is the next stop in Vantage by the Columbia River. The museum is open on the weekends only from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Park hours are 8 a.m. to dusk.

"Don't be afraid of opera," Sarah Roberts, a senior majoring in voice, said. "'Cosi Fan Tutte' is like an operatic 'Something About Mary.'" Central's music department stu­ dents are performing the comedic opera, "Cosi Fan Tutte," this month. "Cosi Fan Tutte," translated "Women Are All Like That," will be performed in English and will not have any Brunhildes or horned hel­ mets. Central's music department has presented many operas in the past, though the last opera was performed two years ago. "We have quite a tradition of doing operas here," Vocal Director Dr. Linda Marra, professor of music (voice), said. Marra, who is also the general director of "Cosi Fan Tutte," V prepares the students in their singing roles and also helps them act out the characters. This is the first time many in the cast have ever performed an opera. "It's hard to memorize opera because I've never done anything like this before," senior Matt Ericksori, who plays Gugliemo, said, "and because we don't have the time "Cosi Fan Tutte" is double cast, which means each role has two peo­ ple playing it. Neither cast is better or more important than the other. A double cast is needed in case some­ one gets sick and to give more stu­ dents the opportunity to share in the experience.

Central knocks off Western and Simon Fraser in overtime by Tim Booth Asst. sports editor Perhaps Western Washington Head Coach Brad Jackson has finally learned his lesson, a lesson many thought he would have learned after last year. For the second straight season, a player from the Bellingham area who wasn't recruited by Western, broke the Vikings' heart's. Last year it was Sehome High graduate Simon Dubiel who hit a 30-footer at the buzzer to beat Western 76-73. This year it was Lynden native Marty DeLange who put back a Tyce Nasinec air-ball with 0.1 seconds remaining in overtime as the Wildcats knocked off their arch-rivals 84-82. It was the first of two overtime games last weekend, as two nights later Simon Fraser took the Wildcats to overtime before Central pulled out an 103-96 OT win. "Those were two real big wins," Central Head Coach Greg Sparling said. "My hat's off to the kids, they really stepped up when they needed to." The two wins secured the number one seed for the Wildcats in. the upcoming Pacific West Conference tournament at Hawaii Pacific University. Central will open the tourney a week from tonight, with the tournament winner receiving an automatic bid to the NCAA West Regional beginning March 4. The regional host will be determined following the confer- Angela Barbre/Observer Carson Payne scored 18 points last Thursday against Western. ence tournament. Only the top two teams in the region are eligible to bid for the tournament. "It's going to come down to the almighty dollar," Sparling said about regionals. "Whoever ends up playing on their home floor has got to be the odds on favorite." The two wins also vaulted Central to No. 17 in the NABC Division II top 25 poll, and kept the Wildcats in the top spot of the NCAA West Region poll. Western led by nine at halftime and extend­ ed their lead to 13 at 46-33 with 15 minutes remaining, but Central battled back to take the See OVERTIME, Page 18 Wrestlers take two duals from Canucks by David Banuelos Staff reporter Central's wrestling team closed out its dual meet season in fine style last weekend by sweeping two meets north of the border. The Wildcats ran their season dual record to 9-4-1, the best since their national champi­ onship season in 1973. "It's a good feeling," Central coach Kevin Pine said. "Those last two meets were the best we've wrestled all year." The Wildcats had their hands full against a tough Simon Fraser team that they beat by just five points earlier in the season. From top to bottom the Clansmen matched up well with Central. The result was a 23-22 thriller in which the Wildcats battled from a 22-12 deficit to win in the last three matches. Bart Orth once again turned out the decid­ ing match, narrowly defeating Simon Fraser's Lars Blomgren 3-1 in overtime. Biomgren is currently ranked third in the NAIA rankings. Bart Orth, with the win, rose one spot in the lat­ est NCAA Division II coaches poll, to fifth. "Our guys clutched up and wrestled great," Orth said. "We gave them .18 forfeit points so we had to come from behind." Earlier in the day the Wildcats steamrolled Douglas College 23-0. Closing out his Central career in fine style was senior Adam Gunnarson, who posted a 22-7 technical fall over David Tata. After a stellar season from the team's underclassmen, the juniors and seniors were unbeatable in Burnaby, B.C., posting a perfect combined record for the weekend. Junior 184-pounder Chris Feist won both his matches. The first was an overtime nail- biter over defending national runner-up Luigi Bianco. It was the second time Feist defeated Bianco this season, but despite the big win, Feist is still unranked in the coaches' poll. "I'm not really concerned with the rankings at this point because nobody has seen us," Feist said. "But I know what I'm capable of doing, and what the rest of the team can do."

m Feb. 18/ 1999 —Sports — Observer M's about to lose superstars Tim Booth Does anyone besides me find it interesting that this off-sea­ son the Seattle Mariners have done about as much as a bear in hibernation? In a year when the Mariners will move into their new $400 million palace known as Safeco Field, I would think that General Manager Woody Woodward would get off his duff and get some deals done. He's got to get butts in those $25 seats, right? Instead, as pitcher and catchers report this week, Woodward settled for second, even third tier players, and in the process jeopardized the future of two of the best players in baseball. Both Junior and A-Rod (that's centerfielder Ken Griffey Jr. and shortstop Alex Rodriguez for the baseball-challenged out there) will become unrestricted free agents following the 2000 season. This off-season both players refused to open contract extension talks with the club. The reason: the two do not want the team to spend a zillion dollars on them and then not be able to get any other quality players. Sounds like a reasonable request, build a quality team of good role players and consistent pitching around your superstars. But Woodward didn't quite get the message or else he would have made some deals this off-season to improve the club, instead of keep­ ing them where they were last sea­ son. He got a pitcher who led the league in blown saves last year in Mark Leiter. Leiter should fit in well with the Mariners bullpen phi­ losophy of last year: We're the bomb squad...we blow as many games as possible. Jose Mesa led the league in saves a couple years ago, but blew enough games last August and September to single-handedly knock San Francisco right out of the playoffs. Oh, and let's not forget about the couple of guys named Butch. The M's signed pitcher Butch Henry, who will pitch in the start­ ing rotation and could end up being a diamond in the rough. Then they spent an asinine $1 million for Butch Huskey, who is slow, overweight and has the talent of that no-hitting Cuban from the movie "Major League," Pedro Cerano. Now it's clear why Griffey and Rodriguez are upset. This ballclub is getting very close to becoming extremely mediocre, in part thanks to Woodward's inability to address dire pitching needs and build a team around his stars that deep down want to spend their entire careers in Seattle. In two years when the All-Star game comes to Seattle expect Junior and A-Rod to be there, just don't expect them to be wearing Mariner blue. Women split at home by Trevor Brilhante Staff reporter Alaska invaded Nicholson Pavilion last week. Alaska-Fairbanks was sent home with a cold feeling of defeat Thursday, while Central got a taste of the Arctic from behind the three-point line against Alaska- Anchorage on Saturday. The Central women's basketball team showed signs of being a playoff caliber club last Thursday ousting Alaska-Fairbanks 65-59, but on Saturday the Wildcats were frost-bit­ ten losing 75-64 to Alaska- Anchorage. With the game on the line Thursday night, the Wildcats looked to sophomore point guard Kristen Willis to carry them to victory. Following a Jaime Johnston three- pointer, Willis scored two crucial baskets to seal Central's win. For the game, Willis scored 14 points and pulled down 6 rebounds. In the last two minutes of the game, Central Head Coach Jeff Whitney, switched offenses and isolated Willis and freshman center Rose Shaw. Shaw finished with 13 points and a team high 10 rebounds. "We started a two-man game because they were not reading screens well," Whitney said. "Kristen saw that and went straight to the basket for some big baskets." Defensively the Wildcats came out of the locker room after halftime with a vengeance, clawing their way past the Seawolves. A trapping full court defense forced 11 second half turnovers and 11 easy fast-break points. : The Wildcat defense was led by sophomore guard Charae Walker and junior wing Becki Matzen. Walker and Matzen held Seawolf stand-out Tim Booth/Observer Becki Matzen shoots a three pointer in last Thursday's win over Alaska-Fairbanks. guard Denise Perez to just 12 points on four of 11 shooting. "Becki and Charae did an out­ standing job on her," Whitney said. "She's one of the best players in the league and we held her to 12 points." Central trailed by three at half- time but rallied to take the lead 54-45 with 8:16 remaining on a Jaime Johnston lay-up. Johnston scored a team-high 18 points including-three of her signature long-balls. The ending to Saturday night's game against Alaska-Anchorage was not so hot. Anchorage outscored the Wildcats 15-5 to start the second half and went on to defeat Central 75-64. "That seems to be the reason for most of our losses this season," Whitney said. "We can't come out of the locker room and let teams go on runs like that." The Wildcats froze from behind the arc, shooting a dismal 6-for-27. Central usually lives behind the three-point line, but Saturday night the team died behind it. Shaw led the Wildcats with 20 points and 10 boards, Willis scored 16 and Matzen chipped in 11. h SUMMER SCHOOL FOR PEOPLE ON THEIR WAY TO THE TOP.

Anderson is now 18-4 on the season and will ride a 12-match winning streak into regionals. Bart and Ben Orth were also undefeated on the weekend at 174 and 165. The brothers are both early favorites for regionals and boast impressive season records. Bart (35-10) is just six wins shy of Central's single season wins record. Ben (21-9) will go into regionals with five straight wins under his belt. Missing the trip were Wildcat starters Marcus Mays (141), Garrett O'Brien (133) and Nick Rodriguez (125).

* Feb. 18, 1999 — Sports — Observer Aging Pavilion must do for now ByJoeBair Sports editor Nicholson Pavilion has defied all odds with its 40-year-old cable super-structure, but the interior of this architectural miracle is outdated and too small. In 1959, the Pavilion was built to * suit the needs of 3,600 students but enrollment has ballooned to 7,000. People battle daily for use of Nicholson Pavilion's field house, weight room and gymnasium, spark­ ing rumors of a new building to alle­ viate the problem. "With all the faculty, students and players that use the Pavilion there's just not enough time and space," men's basketball coach Greg Sparling said. "If there's enough money to build a $68 million sci­ ence building and to get a new music building then we need a new build­ ing too. I'd love to keep the games and practices in the Pavilion but we need to remodel. It's too small, we're busting at the seams." Athletic Director Gary Frederick agrees that the Pavilion is over­ worked. "It is the most used building on campus," Frederick said. "People are using the facilities from five in the morning to at least 10 in the evening." Intramural director John Duncan would also like to see a new facility. "A lot of our stuff is archaic but it's what we have to deal with," Duncan said. "If they want to build a new facility it'd have to be a joint effort between intramurals and ath­ letics." Frederick noted an addition or remodel of Nicholson Pavilion was part of a three phase plan established in the 1980s. The plan as outlined in the "Historic profiles of the buildings at Central" consisted of: 1) a new phys­ ical education building (finished in 1987), 2) a new swimming complex (finished in 1990) and 3) the enlarge­ ment of Nicholson Pavilion's exist­ ing fieldhouse to twice its size. After the first two phases were completed, the Pavilion remodel did not gain legislative decision on the 1989-91 biennium. The 10 year capital budget plan for 1999-2009 has Nicholson Pavilion's phase three as 22nd on the priority list. In comparison, the music build­ ing currently awaiting legislative decision is number one on the 10 year plan. Estimated cost for the Nicholson Pavilion project is $12.5 million. "It is just in the visioning and dreaming stage right now but you have to start talking about things if they're ever going to happen," Vice President for Student Affairs Sarah Shumate said. : liti _. _ „vV A, ' •1\- A ' »y .«• IflSi m$mm »|p * Pretty slim pickin's, huh?

Continued from Page 15 lead at 65-64, with two minutes left on a Nasinec lay-in. The Wildcats led 70-67 before a three-pointer from Viking Jared Stevenson with five seconds left which sent the game to overtime. In overtime Central tied the score at 79 and 82 on three-pointers from Derrick Elliott and Carson Payne, before DeLange's winning basket. Payne led the Wildcats with 18 points and DeLange had a double- double with 17 points and 10 rebounds, as Central won their sixth straight over Western. "It's good to know that games which are close or go into OT, that we can come, out on top," guard Justin Bursch said. The three-pointer was Central's weapon of choice against Simon Fraser. The Wildcats set school records for three-point attempts and three-pointers made against the Clansmen. Despite those records, the Clansmen's Tony McCrory's three- pointer as time expired sent the game to overtime. The Wildcats bounced back and outscored the Clan in the extra ses­ sion 15-8. Nasinec led the way with 22 points, while Elliott and Eric Davis had 19. Davis came off the bench to score a season high hitting on seven of nine shots including three of four on three pointers. "Eric put the ball on the deck, got to the rim and shot the ball well," Sparling said. "He played very, very well." Following the Western game though, an ugly incident occurred as an intoxicated Western student, reportedly a football player, con­ fronted the Wildcats as they were entering their locker room. After words were exchanged the student punched Wildcat guard Keith Hennig in the face before being restrained by Western police. Central will close out the regular season Saturday night against Lewis- Clark State, as the Wildcats attempt to get their first perfect season at home since 1982. With the two wins last weekend Central improves to 20- 4 on the year. The Warriors had their four game win streak snapped by Western last Saturday, falling 90-74. 'They are really hot right now," Sparling said. "They can flat-out shoot the ball from the outside and have a good inside game." a ~ - itK AFTER LAioR DAY!" ^ A Receive a $1000 bonus by woiWng as a Full Service Slot Rep and staying through Labor Day.
