CENTRAL WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY Thursday, April 15, 1999/ Vol. 72 No. 19 http://www.cwu.edu/~observer mm • W » l.v U Serbian students talk war by Mike Jenkinson Staff reporter Five years ago, Central student Djordje Popovic, 22, a philosophy, Russian and Douglas Honors major, left his home in Serbia, to avoid serving in the army. He left his parents, still living in Belgrade today, working as high ranking activists in one of the many parties opposing Yugoslavian President Slobadan Milosevic. His mother is currently in hiding from Yugoslav authorities. During his teenage years Popovic actively campaigned against Milosevic. Eighteen months ago, while vis­ iting home, Popovic was appre­ hended by police and forced to attend the poiice station every*dSyw from nine to five for questioning over his role in the opposition. Popovic described Milosevic as "a totalitarian dictator" who enjoys little support. Despite his vehement opposition to Milosevic, Popovic was critical of NATO intervention in the Balkan's, which he described as counter-productive, based on a reading of the situation as an ethnic rather than a political conflict. Duncan Perry, dean of graduate studies and research is well-versed in this subject. He brands Milosevic a "high stakes gambler" who is willing to sacrifice a great deal to retain his power. "For NATO to do something like this implies a frightening lack of understanding of the socio-polit­ ical problems of the Balkans." mm Ill •iSSSS wmm Kelly Christensen/Observer Popovic came to the U.S. in 1994. He says he opposes the NATO bombings of his homeland of Yugoslavia. Popovic said "I oppose NATO intervention because of its reper­ cussions on democratic processes at home, not because I support Milosevic." Another student at Central, Jasmina Sinanovic, 24, a theatre and psychology major, came to America in 1995 to study, because she disagreed with the politics in the Balkans. She takes a similar stance to Popovic in labeling Milosevic "power hungry" while See SERBIA, Page 4 BOT to discuss Nelson by Carrina Galloway News editor The university president's posi­ tion and new student fees are among the items to be discussed at the Board of Trustees meeting Friday. One main agenda item for the -• board will be discussion of Nelson's intent to retire in the spring of 2000. It also intends to take action on the issue regarding what the process will be for choosing the next university president. During a March 5 special meet­ ing of the BOT, Faculty Senate Chair John Alsoszatai-Petheo submitted a request for the search committee to be mainly composed of faculty. But BOT chair Gwen Chaplin maintains that it is the responsibility of the BOT, not the faculty, to hire presi­ dents. On the agenda as a future action item, the BOT will discuss the addi­ tion or raising of student fees for cer­ tain services on campus. It will dis­ cuss the approval of the $3 per quar­ ter fee to support Safe Ride which was passed in a special election March 11. Also discussed will be an increase in fees for academic ser­ vices, reduction of fees for place­ ment file transmittal service, and an addition of fees for the Alcohol Information School. By NaoMiura Staff reporter To compete with other institu­ tions for new students among other institutions, Central will offer an attractive opportunity for new incoming undergraduate students who enroll for fall 1999. The pro­ posal of a $100,000 housing discount program by the Office of Enrollment Management and Marketing has been approved. According to a report by Vice President for enrollment manage­ ment and marketing James Pappas, the program is designed to increase the numbers of new students living in residence halls. "We are expecting to have 150 more freshmen and 100 more transfers than last year," Pappas said. Another goal of the pro­ gram is to increase the number of new students with exceptional tal­ ents such as leadership abil­ ity, athletics or performing arts. u It allows us to better compete for quality students and athletes with other institutions... 55 —Gary Frederick applicants must have a minimum GPA of 3.3, or 3.0 and a demonstrat­ ed exceptional talent in perform­ ing arts or athlet­ ics. The student must live in resi­ dence halls to receive this dis­ count. The pro­ cedure will be monitored by Pappas and will be evaluated for its effectiveness "We are looking for some people in October, 1999. with high talents," Pappas said. Although Central has met its bud- To receive the housing discount, geted enrollment goal for past years, the competition in recruiting among universities has increased. Pappas said more high school seniors are entering community colleges and the workforce each year. "This is one of the things that can help us attract students," Pappas said. The discounts will be distributed to the Office of Admissions in addi­ tion to athletics, music, theatre arts and military science departments. "It allows us to better compete for quality students and athletes with other institutions with larger scholar­ ship budgets," Director of Athletics Gary Frederick said. It has been a tough recruiting See MONEY, Page 4

Reich (pronounced rich), a lawyer with the Seattle firm of Preston Gates and Ellis, replaces trustee Frank Sanchez who resigned during fall quarter to take a new job in New Mexico. Reich brings knowledge to the board in the areas of municipal finance, and housing and high­ er education bond issues. Reich said he hopes to quickly get "up to speed" on the issues facing Central right now. He said what he knows about Central is mainly from news sources and anecdotal information. He is aware of the communication problems between administration and faculty and hopes he to contribute to breaking down walls. "I would hope my strengths would include being a good listener, appreciating the importance of a fair and open process toward decision-making and being a con­ sensus builder," Reich said. Keith Love, communications director for the gover­ nor's office echoed this point. He said Reich is very tal­ ented at helping build consensus, and he hopes Reich will do so for the board. "Jay has a way of helping people come to a decision," Love said. During his first regular board meeting, Reich and his fellow trustees will make decisions regarding the letter of intent to retire from university President Ivory Nelson. Reich says he thinks the search for a new president will be the biggest issue facing the BOT next year and he hopes to be a part of the process. Reich expressed that this process will be an opportunity for Central to heal. "I appreciate that there are significant and substantive communication challenges facing the university," Reich said. "I also suspect that there is a tremendous opportuni­ ty available to the university given, in addition to its inherent strengths, fresh voices on the board and a need to select a new president." • . BOT Chair Gwen Chaplin said she's excited for the addition of Reich to the board. "His qualifications are impecable and I'm thrilled," Chaplin said. "Some of the Governor's recent appoint­ ments have been excellent." Seattle lawyer Jay Reich joins the BOT this weekend. Central recruits Web developer from Harvard by Tricia Boey Staff reporter Central students can expect a brag-worthy Web site soon. Jeff Quiggle, Internet managing editor at Harvard Medical School, will join Central's graphic produc­ tions team beginning May 3,1999. Originally from Ferndale, Wash., he graduated from Western Washington University with a degree in communications. Quiggle will report to James Pappas, vice president of enrollment management and marketing. "A lot of things need to be done to our Web site. It's been a bit of a sore thumb for about two years now," Pappas said. "We were one of the first institutions to have an on­ line application, but we haven't made any improvements since " Greg Kummer, Central's director of publications,1 created Central's Web site. He says the new position will be a benefit. "When the original Web site was conceptualized, there was no one person in charge because nobody had It's been a bit of a sore thumb for about two years now. —James Pappas the luxury of working on it full time," Kummer said. "The job was left to the different departments." A number of people applied for the position which commands a salary in the $30,000 range. Quiggle was selected for the job because of his excellent references and portfolio. He was once the news media director of American Prospect magazine, aad has developed Web pages for the World Society for Protection of Animals. Quiggle's main duties at Central will include refining, organizing, and updating the Web pages, improving the features on the site and adding official university publications to the pages. He will also be working with a cross-campus advisory committee comprising representatives from var­ ious departments, faculty members, and the student body. "The Internet is essential to the university's life, and we need to get into the new millennium and be ready," Pappas said. "Since students more and more now are logging on to the Web, we want to be right up there competing, or at least be on par with the other institutions."

- / Observer — News — April 15, 1999 # (5 4, » Professor collapses on campus by Matthew Worden Staff reporter April 4, sociology professor Charles McGehee collapsed on the fourth floor of Farrell Hall. McGehee was transported by paramedics and hospitalized at Kittitas Valley Community Hospital because of a bleeding ulcer. He lost large amounts of blood and has undergone four blood transfusions since his hospitalization. With McGehee hospitalized, a cloud of concern lingers in the soci­ ology department. "I think a lot of students that have him as a professor are worried about the outcome of his health and well being," senior social service major Tanya Copenhaver said. As of yesterday, McGehee was still under observation with many of his students and friends anticipating his return. "Dr. McGehee is a very orga­ nized and goal-driven professor," senior sociology major Paul Vandeburg said. "I wish he gets well soon." McGehee said he is in great spir­ its. "There has been such an out­ pour of support from the students, colleagues, and community towards me," McGehee said. "I thank them." McGehee has been at Central for over 30 years. He has held such positions as Faculty Senate chair and sociology department chair. McGehee's research in child abuse led to his award of scholar of the year from Central's chapter of Phi Kappa Phi in 1997. McGehee has given presenta­ tions at international conferences, delivering several in Germany, and worked with the community's social services. McGehee has been on a phased retirement planned prior to his hos­ pitalization.

Central invests in Y2K plans by Jessica Terrel Staff reporter Central's Y2K planning commit­ tee is preparing for the unknown. The committee forsees a possibil­ ity of electricity outages for 72 hours, leaving thousands in need of accommodations. In late 1997 and 1998 Central began assessing potential problems stemming from Y2K. The state of Washington began a monitoring pro­ gram on the relevant information technology and embedded chip issues. Building Maintenance and Program Manager for NON-IT, Bob Tosch, is testing embedded chips in elevators and fire alarm systems and has found very few problems. "The problem would be if the electrical power-grid went out nationwide, then we would energize vital buildings on campus in order to house residents and the severity would be how long the power was out and how cold it was outside," Tosch said. Central has been cooperating with the state for six months now. The state said the whole purpose for preparing for Y2K is the recognition that a major or extended failure of the northwest electrical power grid is a possibility. "A combination of a black-out and extremely cold weather could be a big problem, considering we house around 3,500 residents in dorms and apartments," Associate Vice Pres­ ident for Business and Financial Affairs Rich Corona said. The purpose of the Y2K Contingency Planning Group for Central is to propose an overall plan for the campus and community dur­ ing spring quarter and to bring a full plan to the Board of Trustees before the end of the year. In order to be prepared, the uni­ versity committed over $550,000 in equipment purchases (two large gen­ erators that would heat at least eight buildings) and labor costs. In addi­ tion, an energy conservation project of $1,400,000 has been redefined to include Y2K upgrades in building systems. The state has provided $300,000 in assistance specifically targeted to the Financial Records System and the Human Resources Module (HR) of Central's academic support system. "No one can guarantee what will happen or that every situation can be foreseen," Corona said. "However, prudent steps are being taken with the best information available, and our. students, faculty and staff will be kept fully informed." Winter quarter 2000 could be postponed in the event of power fail­ ure. The Jan. 4 start date of winter quarter pushed back as far as Jan. 11.

April 15/ 1999— News — Observer SERBIA: NATO faces opposition Continued from Page 7 she believes that NATO strikes are wrong because "violence is not a solution to violence." "I can't believe that the world leaders are so near-sighted and couldn't predict what was going to happen." Far from solving the prob­ lems, Sinanovic believes that this "will escalate the crisis." Though he originally opposed NATO bombings, Perry says that now it has committed itself, NATO must follow-through. He said he doesn't want a repeat of the situation in Cyprus which western powers haven't cracked in 25 years. "Cyprus is a land divided and will remain so in the future because two ethnic groups have been unable to find common ground," Perry said. Popovic believes Milosevic retains power by constantly creating an atmosphere of crisis. His lack of popular support dictates that he do this and leads to a lack of concern for the safety of the population. "Any kind of intervention by NATO has had paradoxical results." Popovic said "On the one hand they proclaim the value of democracy, and on the other hand everything NATO does systematically under­ mines attempts that have been made towards democracy in Serbia." The NATO airstrikes, Popovic says, are working in Milosevic's favor. Since the beginning of the airstrikes Milosevic has been able to crack down much harder on ethnic Albanians, and members of the opposition parties and media. Milosevic has succeeded in polariz­ ing the media. "Milosevic and CNN agree that there are only two views that can be taken — either pro-Milosevic and anti-NATO bombing, or anti- Milosevic and pro-NATO bombing," Popovic said. This allows Milosevic to proclaim himself the representa­ tive of peace. Popovic believes Serbians may be forced behind their leader as the only means of protection. Milo­ sevic's hope is that NATO will not be able to overcome Serbian forces before public sentiment forces them to withdraw from the war, leaving Milosevic to claim a tactical victory. Popovic argues NATO airstrikes have created exactly the kind of environment in which an unpopular dictator like Milosevic thrives. DR. MARTENS . itilM Flood threat not over yet by Noel Siler Staff reporter The spring of1996 proved to be a year of natural destruction for Ellensburg. Students from Sparks and Quigley Halls were forced out of their rooms as the Ganges flood­ ed. Several roads in town became instant rivers and several parking lots transformed into lakes. Many wonder if this year's record snowpack in- the Cascades will produce a repeat of 1996. "I'm concerned about what kind of situation we will be in when the snow melts," health education major Maria Waldo said. "If it's anything like the spring of 1996, we will be in deep water, literally" Carl Lillquist, assistant profes­ sor of geography, said there is more snow this year than this time in 1996. He said the large amount of snow and the Pineapple Express, a warm wind from Hawaii, were the reason for the 1996 flooding. The current snowpack at Snoqualmie pass is 300 inches, according to the National Weather Center. Lillquist points out that possible .flooding of the Yakima River and melted snow from the Cascade mountains could cause flooding on campus. However, Lillquist said it is frozen ground which produces more run-off and the consequent . flooding. "The key issue is the fact that -.*11 Margaret King/Observer Record snow falls this winter have left passes still snow­ bound and area residents wondering about flooding. Ellensburg is not currently experi­ encing frozen grounds nor (did it) have them this past winter," Lillquist said. He predicted April would be the peak month if flood­ ing were to occur. "(Temperatures) have stayed cool enough in the mountains not to pose a threat, but five days of 80 degrees this month could do the trick," Lillquist said. "Temperatures in the Cascades must stay above freezing during the day and night for the snowpack to melt fast enough to flood rivers and streams." Clear-cut logging is also a cause of flooding. When trees come down, the earth becomes more vul­ nerable to absorbing rainfall and runoff occurs. Lillquist said struc­ tures that are built on -a flood plain are targets of flooding and that is where the most damage occurs. Lillquist said he doesn't antici­ pate destructive flooding in Kittitas County this year but warns it is pos­ sible if temperatures rise rapidly this month or next. He said eventually all the snow will melt and visit our neck of the woods. However, unlike 1996, the river will most likely stay in its banks with occasional high waters. it ^ 7" *- • | gg. , • ' ' fall lyffany Lutz checks out the many choices.

"Last year we could not compete, with the housing award program," Military Science Department Chair Jeff Duncan said. "We can now com­ pete for quality students to come to Central." The department of theatre arts has mailed 500 letters to high schools explaining this opportunity, but Brenda Hubbard, director of graduate studies in theatre arts, is unsure of the effect of the program. "I am grateful for the money," Hubbard said, "but I am always a lit­ tle bit skeptical about how many people will actually take advantage of it." She pointed out the short­ comings of campaign for the pro­ gram. "I don't have the time and money to go out and recruit students the way I would like to." Central student Kelly Haugen, a senior in geography education, said this is an interesting idea that could become an advantage for students. "But it would be a good idea to extend this program to include stu­ dents already attending Central who are working hard," Haugen said. -5.v

Lighting is still a problem on campus This Saturday marks the 25th anniversary of a dubious note in Central's history. April 17,1974, Central student Susan Rancourt attended a meeting for future residence hall supervisors. Rancourt left what was then Munson Hall around 10 p.m., but never made it back to her Barto Hall dorm room. Rancourt's disappearance was quickly tied to a string of disappearances involving an assailant sim­ ply named "Ted." This good looking young man was serial killer Ted Bundy. Rancourt's remains were found almost a year later near North Bend, but it was not until 1989 that Bundy admitted to the crime in a death row confession. At the time of Rancourt's disappearance, outdoor campus lighting had been turned off due to energy conservation concerns. James Brooks, then Central's president, immediately ordered the lights turned back on in a damage control effort. Looking back, it is easy to criticize the black out, but this campus was probably much safer then. It is not as easy now, to understand Central's poorly lit campus in a much more dangerous society. Central's many darkened walkways and fields are an invitation to illegal activity. Since January there has been a string of incidents in which a masked man has either exposed himself or performed lewd acts in front of unsuspecting women. Last Saturday a man reportedly wearing only a ski mask and jacket stood and stared into a woman's window in Stephens-Whitney Hall before sauntering east. If our campus thoroughfares are dark enough to conceal a man with no pants, something is wrong. Campus police seem to have made little progress in apprehending this individual, but their efforts have undoubtedly been hindered by the lighting problems. Central's current administrators should learn a lesson from former President Brooks. Brighten the dark areas of campus or be prepared to tell parents of the disappearance of their daughter. —Tom Stanton serfoi s Professor questions coverage of debate In a brief report on the so-called "debate" that I participated in on April 6 with Jared Taylor, the Observer present­ ed a picture of an exchange of ideas dra­ matically different than the one I expe­ rienced. They assert that I "preferred biological facts and scientific data," but then go on to give nearly all of the cov­ erage to Mr. Taylor's "socio-economic issues and other fairly controversial the­ ories." Why did they not report the "biological facts and scientific data" I presented? Is it that such topics are just not newsworthy? What the Observer failed to point out was that Mr. Taylor was not discussing "socio-economic issues." He was suggesting that the socio-economic situation in this country is the product of biological differences between "Asian," "Black" and "White" social groups. I, using basic biological information available to anyone who takes the time to look for it, demon­ strated that Mr. Taylor's assumptions were not true and therefore, that his the­ sis that human "races" vary in geneti­ cally based intelligence is false. LETTERS ««• Students came in droves asking Mr. Taylor to provide some evidence for his assertions other than just his opinion. Mr. Taylor was unable to respond to the student's requests. I did not suggest that biological races "do not exist." I demonstrated, by citing supporting evi­ dence, that modern HUMANS (homo sapiens sapiens) do not have sufficient 46 I did not suggest that biological races "do not exist. "99 — Agustin Fuentes genetic diversity between populations to be divided into subspecies or races. The reporter covering this story either did not understand what I said, or considered it too boring and "scientific" to report accurately. As usual the popu­ lar press has taken the easy way out in discussing a complex reality. By giving equal weight to unsupported assertions (because they make better press?) rather than attempting to discuss the actual complex, factual, realities surrounding the issue of race and racism in humans, the Observer has maintained the well- established United States tradition of perpetuating ignorance and complacen­ cy by not attempting to discuss complex issues. I am upset with this result as it does a great disservice to the hundreds of students who participated in the debate. I want to send out a strong thank you to the Diversity Center for setting this up and to the students who participated in both the Tuesday and Wednesday night events.

Observer — Opinion — April 15, 1999 ••• Continued from Page 6 Diversity Center reacts to the Observer's debate coverage I am writing concerning the article in the April 8 paper, The Great Debate: Debaters argue idea of racial intelligence. To start off I would state that the debate was in no way "great." It became apparent early on the two debaters were not of equal stature on the subject. Dr. Agustin Fuentes almost systematically showed how there was in reality no argument. The discussion of a link between race and intelligence was shown to be absolute­ ly ridiculous, primarily due to the simple fact that in the human species there are no sub-species, a.k.a. biological races. This is not an "idea" or opinion it is a recognized scientific fact and reality. I read the article in absolute disbelief and disgust, especially after seeing my statement horribly misquoted. My comment, "Diversity is diversity, it encompasses everything," was taken out of context. That comment at a certain level is true, but my point of stating the quote in my interview-was that the comment holds true only at a certain level and that there are many practical realities in the area of diversity that cannot be ignored. This quote was erroneously linked to a completely different subject, and then fragmented to completely alter its semantic mes­ sage. Following the above diversity quote was "I have a lot of confidence... in Dr. Fuentes' ability to make that reality." The complete statement was "I have a lot of con­ fidence in reality and in Dr. Fuentes' ability to show that reality." These statements had no temporal or substance related connection. This article not only misquoted both Dr. Fuentes and myself (we have met specifically about the Observer arti­ cle), but created a fictitious notion that there was in some way a conflict between the professor and Diversity Center over the center's payment of airfare and lodging. This was never an issue. This all aside, the program was very educational and it is my hope thatstudents, professors, janitors and CEO's continue this dialogue on race through many avenues including this school paper. Remember, the debate was videotaped, watch it. Ben Tamburro, Diversity Center Don't discount students with special needs I heard you today in Black Hall commenting, "Oh, we don't need to know that stuff about kids with disabilities for our classrooms. We'll be teaching normal kids." You must have heard me mutter, "You'd better learn it you will have kids in your class with disabilities and you need to know how to help them," because then you said with assurance, "No, that's what the special ed teachers are for... Get those kids outta MY classroom..." Just what do you think special education classrooms are? Something akin to a leper colony, where the "unde­ sirables" can go to be forgotten so that your life will be more pleasant? Special education programs are not con­ centration camps. Would you glibly sentence~ the little dyslexic boy or the little girl with Braille books to ostra- cization just because YOU were too lazy to pick up a few teaching tips? If I were a principal hiring new teachers and knew how you felt, you would never have contact with ANY of my students, disabled or not. Our job is to teach every child who comes to us, convenient or not. Supposedly your classes are preparing you for the wide variety of children you will be fortunate enough to teach, be they white, black, homosexual, wheelchair-bound, left-hand­ ed, albino, Baptist, one-eyed children or spawn of Republicans. You cannot abandon them. Your contract will not state anywhere, "The teacher may arbitrarily ship kids to special ed because the teacher is not prepared to handle their needs." The fact is that you will have these children in your classroom. You will share grocery stores, thoroughfares and even drinking fountains with them! Your responsibil­ ity is to prepare them to use those things. If you won't accept this, then you are wasting your money on these teacher education credits. I would suggest a move to Kosovo or Rwanda where apparently there is more toler­ ance for such exclusionary policy, but keep it out of the public school system. Kids with disabilities have many special needs, and the insensitivity you displayed is not one of those. Analiese Sand Teacher certification student Washington teachers deserve higher pay @5 I don't know how many of you watch the Seattle news, or .how many of you even care about what's going on outside this little town. But I'm having a problem and perhaps you can help? It seems that lately all I hear about is the plight of Washington's teachers to get paid more money. Why is this even an issue? Does anyone realize just how vitally important teachers are to our society? To you as an individual? Without a teacher you wouldn't know how to count, recite the alphabet, get a job or drive. Heck, without a-teacher you wouldn't be able to read this paper. Without teachers none of us would be able to live independent lives. There would be no doctors, no lawyers, and no actors. Life as we know it wouldn't exist. Go on, test yourself...could you be where you are today without the teaching that can only come from our teach­ ers? Washington's teachers are among the lowest paid in the nation. If they don't get paid what they're worth, they'll go somewhere else. Is it any wonder why they want more money? For crying out loud, parking atten­ dants and liquor store cashiers get paid more than our teachers! As for me, I don't think you could pay me enough to teach, but apparently I'm not the only one who feels that way. Go teachers. Walk out, picket and strike until you get what you want what you deserve.

Such was the scene at Gallery One last Thursday for the Favorite Poetry Readings. The national event was created by U.S. Poet Laureate Robert Pinsky. At only the fourth public reading in Ellensburg, resi­ dents read their favorite poems from notable poets in front of an audience that stretched into the aisles of Gallery One. "I like writings you can hear music in when it's on paper," Stan Long said. "Something with a blues rhythm in it." The readers either spoke from a podium or sat on a chair in •mm mmM v ^ Mm YAYSAr vs.'-, ' , ' 4 w : A mmmmm wmmm gtillit? mmm. wmm®. their favorite poems as part of Favorite Poetry Readings. A total of 10 people read for an intimate audience of about 20. The coordinator of the readings, Gerard Hogan, a reference librarian at Central, was a little disappoint­ ed with the turnout. "We've had more at other shows, but this is still good," Hogan said. The readings started off with Hogan reading a sample of T.S. Elliot's, "The Wasteland." Elliot's opening lines describes the beauty of April. By coincidence, April is national poetry month.

As Bill Anderson- Ramsdell set up the recording equipment, Messenger posed and stretched to the amusement of the audience. The partici­ pants chose their poems for a vari­ ety of reasons. Some looked at the poems as social commen­ taries while oth­ ers went for the more personal approach. "I read his ' R u t a b a g a Stories' to my son when he was little," Dorothy Lewis said of her selection, Carl Sandburg's "Under the Harvest Moon." The audience was mostly made up of readers and their sup­ porters who came along for moral support. "I came out of curiosity after I heard about it on National Public Radio and* I came for my friend," Stephanie Johnson said. Hogan remains interested in continuing the program in a cou­ ple months and exploring different venues. He said he likes to vary it each time.

"I think that everyone will learn a lot about relationships and benefit from it," Janice Freehill, Director of the Office of Residential Services said. "It should give people a better definition of relationships." Gootblatt is a relationships expert from New York where she has a talk radio show on WABC FM. Scott Drummond, assistant director for Campus Life, said some schools have had her back quite a few times. She has almost become a yearly event at many colleges. "Any program that the university can put on to improve the quality of life for the students is good," Nick Kobylensky, a law enforcement major, said. Drummond said he has been talk­ ing to Gootblatt for four or five years and trying to get her on the schedule but the timing just wasn't right. He also said that other colleges seem to love her and that she is positive, proactive, and full of not only energy, but knowledge and experience as well. "She is a real genuine person and doesn't just respond to calls and e- mails with a word processor-typed form letter," Drummond said. "She writes all of her replies by hand." He hopes Central will receive her well so she will be willing to come back. One word he thinks describes her is "delightful."

Observer — Scene — April 15, 1999 Anti-computer union confronts tension islitii ilpilpiilPfN \?"ws MM 8*3838353 Daren Schuettpelz/Observer Anti-Computer Student Union club officers Alicia Harrison, Nick Wold and Robert Blackett show off their sense of humor. The club was attacked for being overly critical of computers and technology. by Tim Bottorff Staff reporter What was meant to be the inaugural meet­ ing of a fun-loving club turned into a somewhat heated debate last Friday. The Anti-Computer Student Union met for the first time Friday to introduce interested members to what the club hopes to offer. The audience, made up of approximately 25 people, was confused by the club's title. The word "anti" gave some the feeling that the use of computers was being condemned by the club. Charles Herman, club president, explained that the name of the club started as a joke. They kept the name to show the sarcastic nature of the club's officers. "The name is heavy, but the club is light," Herman said.'"We just like to joke around and have fun." The club officers seemed caught off-guard by the misconceptions audience members had. "It's like (people) think we're the 'We Hate Puppies Club'," Robert Blackett, club vice president, said. On several occasions, members of the audi­ ence asked about the ACSU's policy on the use of e-mail and chat rooms. Blackett and Herman stated repeatedly the club doesn't condemn computer technology. They recognize its importance as a tool in today's society. However, they feel there is a disturbing trend in which people are coming to rely too heavily on computers for entertainment pur­ poses. The club's officers, who all knew each other before forming the ACSU, observed this trend and decided to do something about it. Blackett said when these activities take place, the importance of human face-to-face interaction becomes lost. Blackett and Herman explained the purpose of the ACSU is to meet new friends and get involved in activities which draw people away from computers. "We're providing opportunities to do other things" Blackett said. The officers took sugges­ tions from prospective members on what activ­ ities the club could do together. After the meeting adjourned, some mem­ bers of the audience expressed their reactions to the meeting. Mike Grigg, executive vice-president of the Board of Directors, was in attendance. He believed the audience "focused away from the point" of the club's agenda. The ACSU will be open to all and meetings will be announced by flyers posted on campus.

"Can't Hardly Wait" started the ball rolling portraying the mischief and trouble-of high school life, while "Dead Man on Campus" gave a look at what college is like if you actually make it through high school. Now, "Taming of the Shrew" meets "Beverly Hills 90210" in the Shakespeare inspired revival with a differ­ ent name: "10 Things I Hate About You" follows suit with more of the same. Set in the Puget Sound area, two sisters in the same house live with different goals of find happi­ ness while struggling with the everyday hassles of being young. The plot follows the same course its ancient counter­ part laid out long ago. The shrew, Kat (Julia Stiles), is a reputable, classified "heinous bitch" with a vague joy for life and an even more vague outlook for things to come. She views the glass not half empty or half full, but broken. Kat's ever-perky and bubbly sister Bianca (Larisa Oleynik), however, revels in her popularity, especially with the boys. Therein lies the rub. The rule at the girls' house is that Bianca, who can't wait to sling her arms around any guy that walks past, isn't allowed to date until Kat, who despises the opposite sex and happens to be the eldest, finally chooses a suitor. Easier said than done. Bianca already has two prospects banging down her door. One is the popular, cheap, model scumbag Joey (Andrew Keegan) and the other is the shy, dorky new kid in school, Cameron ('Third Rock From the Sun's" Joseph-Gordon Levitt), but neither guy can touch the prize until Kat picks a trophy first. Knowing this, Joey and Cameron hire school thug and enigma Patrick Verona (Heath Ledger) to seduce and date Kat. The plot twists through their little plan and after many parties, fist-fights between Joey and Cameron, the ever- upbeat Kat vomiting tequila on Verona's motorcycle boots and bad advice from porn-loving counselor Ms. Perky, the movie settles into a groove. With a little luck, timing and hope, Verona turns Kat into a non-ferocious teen in love, while Bianca finds that happiness isn't about finding the guy who can chug the most beers. piiiiiips 'Taming of the Shrew" gets a face­ lift in "10 Things I Hate About You." photos courtesy of Touchstone Pictures This is a classic "Pretty in Pink"-styled movie with just the right amount of love and drama. This is a classic, "Pretty in Pink"-styled movie with just the right amQunt of love and drama, glazed over with a heaping dose of comedy and style. From the popular, arrogant and cocky fashion plate students right down to the jocks and computer geeks, "10 Things I Hate About You" wraps around your heart while banging your funny bone. What it lacked in development and comedy in some spots, the twists, turns and 'stand up and cheer' atmos­ phere make up for. This is a great flick for those who miss high school and the cheesy cliches that only high school can offer. Party on. The verdict: Four out of Five Backstreet Boys Students and seniors relate by Kristen Schwab Staff reporter Generations are colliding and enjoying the experience as the Central Senior Connection visits the Royal Vista Care Center on Wednesday afternoons. "It's very important for our seniors to have a relationship with students," Patty Richert, activities coordinator at Royal Vista, said. "The greatest benefit is that they can relate to each other and get to know each other." The Service Learning and Volunteer Center began the Central Senior Connection a month ago and now Safe Ride is helping out by pro­ viding transportation for students. "There is a tremendous amount of student interest," Lorinda Anderson- Ramsdell, coordinator of the Service Learning and Volunteer Center, said. "We're directly driven by student interest." The program currently has 25 participating residents, ages 48-96, but only three student volunteers. • The Connection provides a way for students to gain experience in leadership-and career fields such as education and community health. "In my profession I would hope that it would make me more aware of their problems, and it just makes them happy," Kelly Sullivan, a junior in community health and the student coordinator of the program, said.

The Observer, in connection with the Central student radio station, The 'Burg, caught up with Mr. Keister last Friday as he candidly discussed punk rock, Taco Del Rey and Craftsman tools. OB: You are now a respected and revered host of a Northwest comedy television show. However, I heard that you were once a punk rock kid. Is this true? JK: Well, yeah. Punk rock was invented when I was in college. I was in college in the mid-to-late seventies and the music was very boring. I remember distinctly going into a record store and walking around for an hour going, 'There is nothing here that I want to listen to or buy,' and then suddenly there was The Sex Pistols, The Clash, Elvis Costello, Talking Heads, the Gang of Four. Everybody came through Seattle, too, in those days. It wais amazing, It was probably the most intense and happiest years of my life. OB: Where could the bands play? JK: All these great bands came through town and pretty much every weekend you could see somebody play and there would be 100-200 people in the audience. It (Showbox) was the perfect venue. Out of that came The Rocket magazine. Those were the years when I was in on the beginning of that. We founded The Rocket magazine at that time. Now the Rocket, as a matter-of-fact, is six months away from its 20th anniver­ sary. OB: Tell me your all time favorite punk band. WHAT THE HECK, It'll G«jW8ftCK. rl^ye9r5, JK: My all-time favorite punk band would have to be the Clash, though I love Elvis Costello. I think he is the greatest songwriter of that ilk, but the Clash, I think, was the most exciting in concert. I saw them live two or three times and they just had a phenomenal stage show. [Bizarre screech from the phone lines] JK: What's going on down there? OB: I don't know. We are just going to have to deal with it... JK: This is a punk interview. That's what this is... OB: Now, in 1999, how close are you to being punk rock? JK: Well, let's see what I've got on the turntables...[music turned up all the way] CAN YOU IDENTIFY THIS [Shouting]? Whaddya think? Who's that? OB: I dunno. Don't they all just play the same three chords anyway? JK: This would be "Search and Destroy" from Iggy. Raw Power. [John busts out some of lyrics]. There you go. OB: Will you ever do jokes about Ellensburg on "Almost Live?" JK: We've done material on Ellensburg before. Let's see...Cathy's Blue Lube. "Enter in Rear." — I've always enjoyed that sign. I do get my tacos at Taco Del Rey. OB: Were the college years the best years of your life? JK: Yes. OB: Why? JK: I went into college thinking I was going to be the great American novelist and I wasn't quite as good at working in long-form fiction. I was struggling to find what it was that I thought I could do well. I got into journalism and it seemed to me to be a real fun and energetic place with a lot of other people working everyday on deadlines that shared the same opinions that I did. When Punk rock broke while I was in college it was really exciting and I combined that with the journalism and started up a business right out of college. We really felt like [JK starts to laugh] — as my grandfather would say — "We had the world by the ass on a down­ hill pull," and it's fun to think that way. It's much more difficult to think that way when you're in your 40s. OB: What advice would you give to college students today about life in general? JK: About life in general? The only things I know about life in gen­ eral for sure is that you should buy a good black blazer. That's always good to have in your wardrobe buy tools from Sears. Don't buy those tools you see in the back of maga­ zines advertising "A Whole Tool Set for $20" — get Craftsman tools. You'll have those for the rest of your life. Get those and there is probably someone that has a crush on you, but you won't know about it until it's too late. OB: And what advice would you give if you were drunk? JK: That is the advice I would give. I am drunk right now. )JCU) KC/iLrtQ Incorporated 5 TAWS roe. $13 io rA(VJ£3 roe. $26 15 TAWS FOB. $39 420 N.

"Our advisors and coaches worked really hard to make the rodeo weekend successful," Club President Katy Miller said. "In the end, the turnout was great, and we performed well." The region's top-ranked Wildcat women turned in exemplary performances, but fell just short of a team title * in front of the hometown fans. "I'm really proud of our team," Cori Sizemore said. "We just had a bad day out there." The Central women opened up strong on Friday night. Hanna Keyes posted a time of 8.9 seconds in the first round of goat-tying to place herself at sixth. In break- away roping, Sizemore, Katy Anderson, Katie Stewart and Kate Sullivan led the charge. The Wildcats owned four of the top six breakaway roping spots going into Saturday. Miller continued her dominance as the region's No. 1 barrel racer with a time of 17.82 on Friday. Sizemore and Hannah Hull were also both within striking distance of first place at the end of the night. "We just went out there and did our thing," Miller said. "The home crowd was a good motivator." While the women were running roughshod over the competition, Central's three male team members were still struggling to find, their winning form. Bull riders Steve Griffith and Tyson Ripplinger were ' both eliminated after their first attempts. Eddie Bromiley missed his first run in the calf roping competition, and later missed his opportunity in team roping. "It's frustrating," Ripplinger said. "We don't have a lot of guys on the men's team and when none of us bring See RODEO, Page 14 by Mike Wells Staff reporter After dropping two games to rival Western Washington last Saturday extend­ ing its losing streak to five games, the women's softball team bounced back and swept a pair from Whitworth on Sunday 5- 0 and 4-3. "We came out ready to win," senior first baseman Vicki Wenzel said. The first game of the twin bill featured junior pitcher Kaci Bridges. She struck out three and didn't walk a batter enroute to a complete game, six-hit shutoiit. Bridges also helped out her own cause, going three for three at the plate. Bridges had all the running support she needed in the first inning, when junior Jaime Johnston drove in senior Marci Meddock from third base. "Jaime has been a great contributor since joining the team after basketball sea­ son," assistant coach DaverFiskeSaid. In the second game, theWiracats had'to put on their rally caps to get 4he conae from-behind victory. The visiting Pirates jumped all over the Wildcat pitching in the first inning, scor­ ing three runs on six hits. With two runners on base with one out in the seventh inning and down by one, the stage was set for Wenzel to do what she does best drive in runs. Wenzel hit a sin­ gle that drove in both runs to give Central the victory. Wenzel now has 17 RBI's on the sea­ son, just five short of her own single sea­ son record. Senior Stacie Galbavy came in for relief after the first inning and pitched six shutout innings to get the victory. "We need to take these two victories and use them as momentum builders," Wenzel said. The sweep improves the Wildcats overall record to 10-17 and 1-7 in the, PacWest conference. Central will have a chance to redeem .themselves ^against Western at 2 p.m. ^today. The.

Observer — Sports — April 15, 1999 Angela Barbre/Observer The Wildcat baseball squad challenged the Whitworth College Pirates on April 7. Central went on to defeat Whitworth 8-5. • * Earle wins sixth decision by Jason Leavitt Staff reporter This just in: Scott Earle is damn good. Earle, a senior pitcher for Central, led the Wildcats to an 8-5 win over Whitworth last Wednesday, and in the process moved himself into some pretty rare company. The 6-foot-3-inch right-hander out of Puyallup continued his domi­ nance on the mound, scattering seven hits and striking out nine enroute to his sixth win of the season. What is almost equally as impres­ sive is the fact Earle has moved him­ self up in the record books. Afterward Earle felt his team was the main factor in the win. "They played well overall. I didn't have my best game, I gave up a couple of runs early but they stepped up and scored runs when we needed them," Earle said. "I felt like I had a little velocity, but I wasn't as focused after coming off the week­ end against Lewis-Clark State." However, infielder Tommy Pesacreta summed up Earle's outing more positively. In the land of big winds there lives a determined group of dedicated writers. These men and women work hard and reap huge rewards. You too can benefit from this experience. Call 963-1073 and join the Observer. "I have never played with a pitcher as dominant and consistent every time he pitches," Pesacreta said. Earle now has sole possession of second place on the all time career wins and strikeout list with 23 and 226, respectively. He is also tied with former Wildcat great and major leaguer Dave Heaverlo for career complete games at 21. Heaverlo has the career wins record at 31 and career strikeout record of 321. Earle' can also break Heaverlo's season mark of nine complete games, because right now he has seven. "I take a lot of pride in it, he's a great guy to be around, and it's a great honor to be mentioned along­ side his (Heaverlo's) name," Earle said. The Wildcats carried a 5-2 lead into the top of the seventh inning before surrendering three runs to the Pirates, with a pair coming from a home run by Miguel Saldin and the other from a double by Nate Lynch. The tie didn't last long though. Central fought back for two runs on RBI doubles by outfielder Ryan McCarthy and Pesacreta. meet me at The Wildcats sealed the game in the eighth inning, scoring their eighth and final run. "It was good that everyone hung in there, I like how everyone fought till the end and we got the victory," Pesacreta said. Central's offense exploded for 13 hits in its 10th win of the season, with outfielder Chance McClellan collecting three and McCarthy, Pesacreta and Robert Collins all get­ ting two. According to Pesacreta, the Wildcats have turned around from the beginning of the season. "I expected us to turn around for the second half of the season, Pesacreta said. "Everyone has been playing well together and when you play well together you start to win games." With the victory, Central moved its all-time record against Whitworth to 93-87. This is also the second time during the season they have defeated the Pirates. The Wildcats will host St. Martin's College at 1 p.m. on Saturday and 11 a.m. on Sunday at Tomlinson Field.

The Central men took second place in the Ralph Vernacchia Team Invitational last weekend despite a big performance by sprinter Chris Faulconer. Faulconer was named the Outstanding Male Performer Saturday. He won the men's 100 and 200 meter sprints in times of 10.92 and 22.10. "I felt my performance was good," Faulconer said. "I would like my overall times to still improve some." Central swept the top three places in both events. Chris Courtney, a two-time sprint Ail- American, took second and Kale Sauer took third. Faulconer, Courtney, Sauer and Josh Delay won the 4x100 relay in a season best time of 42.04. The Wildcats posted a season best time in the 4x400 relay of 3:22:65, placing second. "The sprint core made quite a impression this weekend finishing one, two and three in the 100 and 200 meter," Faulconer said. The Wildcats also competed well in the field. Tony Hoiby had an outstanding day, placing first in the shot put at 50 feet, the dis­ cus at 156 feet, 3 inches and the hammer at 151 feet, 1 inch. He also placed second in the javelin at 182 feet, 3 inches. His shot put and hammer marks were his sea­ son bests. Tony Butorac qualified for the Pacific Northwest regional meet in the triple jump at 44 feet, 1/2 inch­ es. Butorac's jump gave him a sec­ ond place win. Mike Alexander won the pole vault with a season best of 10 feet and Zack Spaet qualified for regionals in the javelin with a third place throw of 181 feet, 5 inches. On the day, four Wildcats qualified for regionals. The women Wildcats placed fourth during the invite. Abby Bielenberg and Amy Forrey qual­ ified for regionals in the women's 5,000 placing fourth and sixth respectively in times of 18:35:90 and 18:57:68. Sarah Lind had a season best throw of 132 feet, 6 inches to win the women's javelin, and Dana Riste took first in the pole vault at 10 feet. The foursome of Crissie Gordon, Leah Villegas, Ellie Fortin and Erinn Nickels were clocked in at a time of 4:00:6 in the 4x400 relay, cutting six sec­ onds off their previous season best. They missed the school record by just .07 of a second. "The schools in Washington are more competitive than the schools in Oregon," Tanya Cole said.

Barns is a competitive mogul skier on the Professional'Northwest Skiers Association. She is so good that during her first full year of com­ petition Barns consistently finished in the top two. Barns eats up moguls like a wild animal tearing into its latest kill. "Watch, she could eat up most of the men who compete on her tour," ex-World Cup freestyle competitor Dave Valenti said. Although she has no reason to be modest, Barns will be the first to tell you how good others are. She is a fitness sports major with a love for the sport of skiing. She has found the women in the sport today are tougher than ever. "These girls are animals," Barns said. "I'm just happy to be here and to be able to compete." She is one of a dying breed of skiers left who live, eat and breath snow. They believe there is such a thing as an endless winter and dream of the day they see one. Last year Barns spent the entire winter training in Sun Valley Idaho and most of the summer at Whistler in Canada. She competed all over the Northwest this year at Silver Mountain Idaho, 49 Degrees North and many other locations. Barns said she loves to compete and travel, but admits it is getting expensive. She hopes to acquire a corporate sponsor in the near future to help with expenses. When asked why she likes the bumps so much, Barns' response was understandable. "Bumps are the ultimate chal­ lenge," Barns, said. "I always had to ski with the boys, so if I didn't want to get left behind, I had to learn to ski the bumps." Fellow competitor Steve Salizar characterized Barns in simple skier language. "Yeah, man, she's a ripper dude," Salizar said. Next time you're at the mountain and you see someone tearing up the blimps, look carefully, you might just see Barns. Then again, if you want to see her, you have got to be able to keep up, and with her speed that's probably not going to happen. m?

Ripplinger had a rough ride to say the least "I lost my foothold on the left side," Ripplinger said. "When I tried - to regain it, I got thrown. I was dis­ appointed." Saturday was not a kind day to the Wildcat women. Miller knocked over a barrel on her second run, costing her five sec­ onds and dropping her to seventh place. Sizemore and Hull managed to salvage third arid sixth place respectively. "Accidents just happen from time to time," Miller said. "I'm a lit­ tle disappointed, but I'll be back." Anderson, Stewart and Sizemore each earned top five finishes in breakaway roping and Keyes earned sixth place in goat tying., Despite all the good rides, Lewis- Clark State College ended up over­ taking the Central ladies, winning the women's team title by just 95 points and taking over the region's top spot. "They did everything they had to do to win," Sizemore said. "We'll have something to shoot for when we see them this week." The Wildcats travel to Columbia Basin College tomorrow for a two- day rodeo where the women hope to settle the score with the Lswis-Clark Warriors, and the men hope to put some points on the board for the first time this season.
