The march, a show of solidarity between faculty, staff and students, was officially a welcome to newly- hired university President Jerilyn Mclntyre. Rally participants intend­ ed to show Mclntyre their disap­ proval on issues like tuition raises, staff position cuts, and the dismissal by administration of UFC's bid for the right to unionize. Mclntyre was on campus for the May Board of Trustees meeting held that day at Barge Hall.

Meisner resident arrested in marijuana bust Andrew Fickes Staff reporter After a two-week-long investiga­ tion, police made arrests in a student drug operation located in a second floor residence hall room in Meisner at 11:30 p.m. on May 10. Police served a search warrant and raided 19-year-old Thomas Sidick's room, finding packaged marijuana ready for sale and more than $3,00 in cash. They also found marijuana residue and drug paraphernalia in Sidick's Ford Bronco, which was impounded and is now subject to for­ feiture. Sidick was cited on four felony counts, one being possession with intent to deliver and three being delivery of marijuana. Officer Drew Houck, of the Ellensburg police department allowed the university police to use their police service dog Aldo in find­ ing the drugs in the room. Aldo did all the work after police contained Sidick. See ARREST, Page 2

Increase in room and board fees proposed by Melissa Mitchell Staff reporter A 5 percent rate increase in room and board fees has been proposed to the Associated Students of Central Washington University Board of Directors (ASCWU-BOD) by Rob Chrisler, director of operations and resource management. "This is an aggregate increase some will be higher and some will be lower depending upon the package a student picks." Chrisler said. The breakdown of the rate increase looks like this: a 6 percent increase for new students, and a 3 percent or less increase for returning students. Returning students will benefit from a SI50 rate credit for signing their residency contracts by June 1, 2000 and pay the $145 deposit by June 1 provided they remain in residence halls for the entire year. "The 3 percent covers inflation. Another one percent covers addition­ al resident adviser (RA) staffing, staff and student wage hikes," Chrisler said. "The last one percent goes toward capital improvements such as residence hall renovations and contributing to the new SUB." The rate increase includes a 26 percent increase in student wages, a 3 percent increase in civil service, 5 percent maximum increase in exempt salaries and a 3 percent increase for general inflation. Other reasons for the increase ' include a projection of a 15-20 per- a ...some will be higher and some will be lower depending upon the package a student picks. *5 — Rob Chrisler cent increase in utility costs for next year, implementation of Ethernet connections in the residence halls and a raise in the number of RA's to its previous number of 56. Another area the proposed increase could affect is the hiring of a student judicial affairs officer to administrate the disciplinary process in the residence halls. "If the trustees approve the hous­ ing plan and the 3.6 percent tuition increase that will be a 9.6 percent increase for incoming freshmen and transfer students next year," Bill Salcedo, vice president for student life and facilities, said. mm msmm liilt®!

"It's a fundamental denial of democratic rights to not allow you to unionize," Stern said. "And for a university, which is teaching our stu­ dents about democratic rights, to just deny that is beyond comprehension." The march began at noon at the Library and proceeded to Barge Hall. Shouts of "power to the people" and "What do we want? Better con­ tracts," grabbed the attention of more than one passer-by. Holmes said she feels the UFC rally was one of the biggest rallies Central has ever seen. She also said she feels the administration and BOT members paid attention to the UFC's message. "I don't know if we're all on the same page yet, but I think a little more communication could help that," Holmes said. Locke appoints Pearson student trustee for BOT by Observer Staff Governor Gary Locke, named Central student Shawnte Pearson as the student trustee to the Board of Trustees next year. Pearson will replace student trustee Nick French, whose -1999- 2000 term officially ends May 31. Two years ago, the Washington state legislature created a student position on the governing bodies in each of the six state public universi­ ties and colleges. Each student tru.stee serves a one-year term and is considered a member with full vot­ ing privileges except for matters concerning personnel. Pearson is majoring in public relations and has served in a variety of student leadership positions, including the center for excellence in leadership, campus election com­ mission, services and activities fees committee, campus judicial council and university advancement council. She recently ran for Associated Students of Central Washington University University Board of Trustees (ASCWU-BOD) president but lost in the primaries. She is the resident adviser for both Meisner and Sparks residence halls. Pearson said that being appointed to this position means a lot to her. She feels that she has worked very hard here at Central and is glad to see it recognized. "This position has so much potential as the students' voice," Pearson said. "I feel that with all the experience and involvement I've had over the last four years, I have, a lot to offer." Soccer field scheduled to replace parking lot May 22 by Observer staff The X-22 parking lot, located north of Student Village will be closed at 5:00 p.m. May 19 to make room for a new soccer field.

f J * 1 1 May 18, 2000 — News — Observer Callaghan named Central 1999-2000 Scholar of the Year for public service Patsy Callaghan will give speech on liberal arts education today in the Mary Grupe Center by Niki Abraham Staff reporter Phi Kappa Phi will be honoring Patsy Callaghan, English professor, as the 1999-2000 Scholar of the Year at 4 p.m. May 18, in the Mary Grupe Center. Each year the local chapter of Phi Kappa Phi selects a faculty member who has made an exception­ al contribution to their scholarly field. The selected scholar is present­ ed the award at the annual lecture which is shared with colleagues, stu­ dents and the public. Phi Kappa Phi is dedicated to the recognition and promotion of superi­ or scholarship in all academic disci­ plines of higher education. "Patsy is a strong scholar," Barry Donahue, incoming president for Phi Kappa Phi and computer science professor, said. Donahue says Callaghan has done a lot of research and publica­ tion in her area and has served on many organizations in her discipline. Callaghan has chaired the English department for several years. "All of these things together make a good example of what a pro­ fessor should be," Donahue said'. Distinguished Professors l«i» • v'V J' \ joining Patsy Callaghan, left, as a distinguished professor for 2000 is Terry Martin, professor of English. Callaghan received Central's Distinguished Professor for Public Service Professor Award. Martin has been named as Distinguished Professor for Teaching. Their awards will be pre­ sented to them at the Honors Convocation on June 9. Callaghan has served on a num­ ber of campus committees in addi­ tion to the Association of General and Liberal Studies, the Washington State Council of Teaching of English and as the editor of the Washington English Journal. Callaghan has also been selected for one of this year's Distinguished Professor awards. Callaghan's speech Thursday is titled, "Rethinking Liberal Arts Education." She will address the question, "Will liberal arts programs meet the challenges of the informa­ tion age with their core mission intact and should they?" Refreshments will follow the pre­ sentation.

Nearly three quarters of the stu­ dents at Central receive some form of aid but there are two important facts Canedo, director of Financial Aid, wants to point out to make it easier for students to receive their aid. First, 800 students failed to com­ plete step 6 last fall. It involves one oval students fill in to have their financial aid informa­ tion sent to all of the schools of their choice. The student's forms sat in a pile and their money was not distributed for months. Students may call the voice mes­ saging system and follow a series of steps to learn if they filled in step 6 correctly or not. "I hate referring students to this, but it's all 1 have," Canedo said. Another way to correct this com­ mon mistake Canedo suggests stu­ dents call 1-800-4fed-aid and learn the appropriate information to cor­ rect their forms. "People should pay more atten­ tion to their financial aid forms," Andrea Maloney, junior accounting major said Canedo's second point is a change in financial aid procedures. For the 2000/2001 school year, stu­ dents must now respond to their financial aid notice if they do not want their loan as opposed to previ­ ous years when they responded if they did want their loan. Canedo is hoping financial aid information will be available on the internet soon to make information more accessible to students. "I've had no problems with financial aid. It's really helped me out a lot over the years," Travis Ord, sophomore flight technology major, said. •Ensure the oval is filled for which college the financial aid is intended for (step 6 . •Call the financial aid's voice messaqe system at 963-1611 to learn if step 6 was completed correctly. •Call 1 -800-4fed-aid to inquire whether the forms were completely accurately. •Pay special attention to the change in financial aid procedures for the 2000-2001 academic year by responding to the financial aid notice promptly. •Stop by the financial aid office in Barqe 115 for more information.

Observer — News — May 18, 2000 r * ¥»W::i:,,v,v, - : Angela Barbre/Observer Ty Payne, left, along with Eric Peterson give their presentation to Interim President Norton, Vice President of Marketing James Pappas and other administration members. Two DEC members receive first place in national competition by Elizabeth Belts Copy editor Central graduate students Eric Peterson and Ty Payne had no idea how far the advertising campaign they created as a class project would take them. Six months ago Peterson and Payne created an advertising project designed to increase student enroll­ ment at Central. With a little con­ vincing from professors and fellow students, Peterson and Payne entered their campaign in the Washington State Delta Epsilon Chi (DEC) mar­ keting competition. "We were a bit hesitant at first, but once we got the momentum going everything started to flow," Peterson said. Competing against 250 college students, Peterson and Payne's cam­ paign earned them a first place finish at the state competition. However, it was not the state award that excited them, it was earning the right to rep­ resent Washington State in the National DEC Advertising Campaign Competition in Louisville, Kentucky. "The fun of being involved in such an in depth project and the intensity of always rushing to just barely make deadlines was exhilarat­ ing," Peterson said. Peterson and Payne competed against 2,500 other state champions to be the best in the nation. "The advertising campaign is the hardest and most anticipated event," Bill Chandler, DEC advisor and assistant professor of administrative management and business education, said. At the awards ceremony, the teamwork, commitment, long hours and intensity drew to a close as the National Advertising Campaign win­ ners were proclaimed. "The pair were so nervous they couldn't sit still," Chandler said. The auditorium crowd waited in anticipation of the first place announcement. When Peterson and Payne heard their names announced as the win­ ners, they realized all their efforts had finally paid off. After returning to Central, the team was invited to present their award-winning campaign to the pres­ ident, dean and vice president for marketing at Central. 'Their response was enthusiastic, we expect to hear back from them," Payne said. Peterson and Payne will both graduate in August with Masters of Education in Business and Marketing Education. "We are unsure where we plan to seek employment next year," Payne said. "But winning a National Advertising Campaign Championship has opened a number of opportunities."

Poll suggested Mejia could get 40 to 50 percent of the vote, more than the other candi­ dates, but probably not enough to prevent a run-off election on June 30. Community health library contributes to Ellensburg's well-being Bestselling book describes how to identify mail bombs The Worst Case Scenario Handbook, a pocket-size instruc­ tion manual, has become a best- selling hit this week. Translated into Danish, French, German and Spanish, the handbook advises on everything from how to identify a mail bomb to what to do if your car gets stuck underwater. Written by Joshua Piven and David Borgenicht, the book pre­ sents detailed direction and hand- drawn illustrations to get you out of the most precarious predica­ ments. The idea for the book sprang to Borgenicht, after read­ ing a magazine story that described how someone could land a plane if the pilot lost con­ sciousness.

Today marks the 20th Anniversary of Mount St. Helens' explosion Twenty years ago today, Mount St. Helens turned a stun­ ningly picturesque paradise for hikers, hunters and anglers into a sea of gray ash. On May 18, 1980 an eruption altered the pristine mountain by blowing 1,300 feet off the vol­ cano's top, which devastated the vast landscape around it. Mount St. Helens now stands at an eleva­ tion of 8,365 feet, no longer resembling its former self before that fateful day. by Melissa Mitchell Staff reporter The Community Health Library provided by Kittitas .Valley Community Hospital embarks on its third year of providing health infor­ mation on a variety of topics to the residents of the Kittitas Valley. "For college students we have the Health Reference Center, which can not only be used for personal use, but academic research as well," Melanie Jones, library coordinator said. The services provided by the library are free and include resources such as two Internet based medical databases offering over 400 full-text documents and 700 pam­ phlets. The library recently added the Health Reference Series to its shelves. Each volume in the series covers a particular topic providing answers on disease warning signs, risk factors and medical statistics. For those needing quick informa­ tion, the library created the Vertical File. The Vertical File makes it easy and fast to find literature on fre­ quently asked questions. If that is still not enough information, try the video collection of about 100 tapes for both home viewing and on-site use. The library is located on the north end of the KVCH grounds next to the Valley Clinic. The library is open 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday, Tuesday and Thursday, 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Wednesday, and 11 a.m.-3p.m. Friday.

Telling daddy isn't enough to stop student drinking Central is seeking a new way to prevent or limit underage drinking in the residence halls. The plan, you ask? Well, the idea is that Central will notify students' parents if they (students) are caught with alcohol and/or drugs. The plan is still in the preliminary stages so not all the loopholes have been closed. The administration has not yet decided when these notices will be sent home and how strong the wording will be. They are still debating whether it should say your kid is a drunk or that they have violated part of the student code. However, the issue is still foggy. More rumors are flying around than paper airplanes in a substitute taught elementary class. Central adminis­ trators have failed to come out and say exactly why they want this poli­ cy. The real reason is some students, when they come to Central, experi­ ence certain problems. It is the first time most of them are away from the warm comforts of home. For the first time in their lives they now can have members of the opposite sex sleep with them every night, skip class­ es without a principal calling home and for some, drink like a fish. It's often a very difficult transition to make. What Central wants is a way to cover their backsides. They want to be able to warn parents that their golden child is swindling their time and money at Central waking up in strange houses with killer hangovers. Central does not want to be held responsible nor have to deal with the angry parents. The administration gets complaints from parents that the university allows the students to do whatever they please when they find out their darling child failed out. I think it is pitiful that the university should play the role of. a parent to an 18 or 19-year-old person. Parents should instill common sense into their kids before unleashing them into the college environment. This idea may save some students and keep them at Central. It may. However, Central needs to draw a very strict line about how much they will baby students. It's okay to hold some idiot freshman's hand but they should be careful how far they go. Let's not get carried away and start informing parents when their 22-year-old stays out too late. And will this stop students from drinking? I think not. The university needs to do much more than tell students' parents about their children's behavior. Telling their parents won't solve all the problems. The campus police should have more of a presence in high risk areas. They should be out on foot patrol and talk with the students who stumble through the campus.

Last Thursday (May 11,2000), page 3 of the Observer stated "Polling will take place May 11 and 12 in various places around campus." I, being a busy, self-supporting student, did not take time to vote on May 11, and to my severe disappointment when I went to the SUB on the 12th, I found no place to vote. Thinking that perhaps they had polling locations else­ where, I went to ASCWU Student Services where they told me I was too late - results were already posted. I realize that every newspaper makes mistakes - per­ haps in every edition - but there are acceptable and unac­ ceptable mistakes. When the mistake results in the infringement or loss of the rights of individuals or groups, that should be considered unacceptable. I realize that I am only one voter and that my single vote would not change the results of the election, but if 50 or even 75 were deceived by the Observer's mistake... I am not writing to demand a re-vote, an official apol­ ogy, or even a statement by the paper noting their unfor­ tunate mistake. I am writing to let those who wonder "Why don't these putzes care about what happens here, why don't these slackers vote?" that the reason is to be found on page 3. Seth Russell Editors note: I apologize for mistakenly claiming the elections would be held over two days. I appreciate Seth Russell for taking the time to write a letter calling me on my mistake. / encourage everyone to write letters instead of complaining without action..

All the residents of Los Alamos, White Rock, Espanola, and several other communities are playing the wait­ ing game to find out if the fires will destroy their homes and those of their neighbors and to learn how much devastation there is. As of now, more than 22000 acres have burned and more than 400 homes have been destroyed with many more damaged. Many of those structures were multi-family dwellings. I am encouraging people to help to raise awareness that the American Red Cross needs donations to help these people to rebuild their lives. People can log on to the websites at www.redcross.org and www.kob.com for information about how to help. The local American Red Cross chapter (925-5866) is also accepting monetary dona­ tions that will directly to help the fire victims.

With the smell of barbecue in the air, they, listened as local bands shared their music. Saturday, May 13, Hot Lava Burn Monkey and Stephens-Whitney pre­ sented the second annual Miss Cornstoc in the Stephens-Whitney courtyard. The event included the showcasing of local bands and a beauty pageant. Joe Urban and Geoff Crump were responsible for organizing Miss Cornstoc. Urban and Shawn "Nervous" Park came up with the concept of Miss Cornstoc last year. Urban and Park were bothered by the Battle of the Bands because they didn't feel local bands were repre­ sented enough. This inspired them to design an event in support of local bands. "We need to support our local music scene. They all work very hard and it's good music," Crump, junior sociology and social services major, said.

"I came out specifically to see Old Djinn Swag, they're from my hometown, but the bands have been awesome," Kerry Hunt, from Olympia, said. Contestants in the beauty pageant were asked three separate questions. The nine contestants, one of whom was a father standing in for his baby, took turns stepping up to the micro­ phone to answer the questions. , The questions they were asked were "tell your favorite joke," "describe riding a bike for the first time" and the third question was a two-part question: "Why do you feel you should be Miss Cornstoc?" and "Do you listen to Hot Lava Burn Monkey?" Baby Tom Dell, won the pageant and was declared Miss Cornstoc 2000. He was presented with a tiara and a bouquet of cornstalks. "I thought Baby Tom absolutely deserved it. He has a lot of inner beauty due to lack of outer corrup­ tion," pageant contestant John Citizen, a junior philosophy major, said. Throughout the day, hot dogs, hamburgers, Gardenburgers and pop were available for people to buy. Urban and Crump said the event was more structured and organized than last year.

In the renting process you must con­ sider price, location and quality. Around Ellensburg there are differ­ ent community types and living arrangements.

Observer — Scene — May 18, 2000 Hard work and dedication honored with display Exhibit commemorates excellence in education • by celebrated faculty by Shaundra Prewitt and Katie Hildebrand • Staff reporters * Last Friday, several Central staff members were congratulated by their staff and peers as distinguished faculty members in a ceremony recognizing their hard work and loyalty to the university. "Sometimes we don't give people enough recognition and this is something that is realis­ tic and special for them. I think when I retire I will find it special to come back to the old home ground and see my college and peers and friends," Carolyn Malone, diversity education center director, said. Photos of 45 past and present distinguished Central professors and employees were unveiled during the Hall of Honor dedication ceremony. The exhibit was showcased at 1 p.m., Friday, May 12 in the hallway of the third floor in Barge Hall. "By having this new exhibit, which dates back to 1977, students, alumni and campus vis­ itors will be able to understand our longstand­ ing tradition of excellence in education," Mark Young, Central vice president of special pro­ jects, said. • The exhibit displays a library of photos showing distinguished faculty, and featured the most recent five-year faculty winners to the Hall of Honor. This year, three new distinguished profes­ sors were unveiled, congratulating them on their hard work and dedication for excellence in education. "I'm sad that it took this long to happen, but i think they all deserve it, they have done a lot for the university and it's a nice way to honor them," Megan Fulrnan, freshman arid residence hall council secretary, said.

Scene Editor Opinion Ellensburg is. home to three large grocery stores in various locations with a fourth supposedly being completed by Christmas. With so many choices, how can you know that you're getting the best deal you can? Earlier this week I assessed and compared each grocery store. I started out thinking this was going to be a small task and that I would just walk in", get what I needed and walk right back out. This proved not to be. Before I left the house, I made a list of five items I, and I assumed others, would buy on a regular basis. My list contained: 2% milk* Kraft Macaroni and Cheese-The Cheesiest, MD Twin Quilted, 24 pack toilet paper, Ovenjoy bread and Widmer Hefeweizen. Arriving at Albertson's around 1 p.m. I spent a considerable amount of time decipher­ ing the "bonus buy".tags jutting out from every other item on the shelf. From what I gathered, the "bonus buy" sys­ tem is pretty much like Safeway's club card method except there is no card. You don't have to be a "member" to get the special savings they are deducted automatically at the register. With the "bonus buys" on my side I would have spent $16.90, not including tax for TP and beer. After spending almost 40 unbelievable min­ utes in Albertson's, I headed to SuperOne. SuperOne's motto for saving is "buying power." All over the store,- although not as con­ spicuous as Albertson's, are tags clearly show­ ing the buying power price with the savings printed underneath. After experiencing the "bonus buy" confusion I was very impressed with the simplicity of SuperOne's system. SuperOne has many "compare and save" items scattered throughout. Every Wednesday the manager of SuperOne ventures out to his competitors and checks the prices of staple items such as meat, pop, milk and bread. He decides if the price of his items should be low­ ered or not. My five selected items, even with the buy­ ing power, still added up to $18.00, not includ­ ing tax. My last stop was Safeway and I am glad to report that with my club card savings I would have spent $15.15, again without tax. I had heard lots of rumors regarding the Safeway club card and how the information of what you buy is sold. Although it never really bothered me, I asked the store manager about it anyway. He gave me the application to become a "mem­ ber" and sure enough at the bottom it said the store "does not sell or lease any of the informa­ tion to non-affiliated companies." I'm not sure if I'm 100 percent satisfied with that answer but regardless of where the information goes I'm comfortable shopping.at Safeway and my sav­ ings were clearly shown.

May 18, 2000— Scene — Observer Musical tastes hamper smooth transition Frustrations regarding transitions persist between management and deejays. by John Hieger Staff reporter "Hits" magazine published an article earlier this year praising Central deejays Cravey Crave and Lazy Daze for their hip-hop radio show which airs Fridays from 6 p.m. - 9 p.m. The 'Burg believes publicity from a nation­ al magazine builds credibility for the station. and from the outside it may appear as if all is well at 88.1. "We want to supply the musical modes that can't be found on MTV or other local stations," deejay Ali Kazaam said. "Management needs to listen to the deejays more." However, talk on the inside indicates other­ wise. The 'Burg fought hard to receive its FCC license last year and now that it has it, some student deejays feel the station suffers from its desire to maintain active status on the airwaves. One concern regarding the transition to a federally licensed station is that some people believe The 'Burg has lost its sense of direc­ tion. With its relatively new standing as a licensed broadcaster, The 'Burg has new issues with which it must contend, notably organiza­ tions and sponsorship. Central deejay John Koch has worked at The 'Burg for almost four years and has seen a transition for the worse. "There needs to be more emphasis on the music itself and not pleasing sponsors," Koch said. "It's stagnant now, they (management) don't want to piss anyone off." This mutual concern for sponsor roles has some believing the philosophy at the station has shifted from one of music appreciation to listener acceptance. With the prevalence of "pop" music on radio and television today, m*- % * v $mm%. mmsm :£l s xj:I •dl fH LA " I * H * |j | t Sf5B35? ffi'aWv'wWSBS. mmm ttX-N ^ • MMM iwsi viv'.v.w mm Jozef Urban/Observer Deejay Ali Kazaam, above, would like to see The 'Burg continue to play alternative musical modes. some 'Burg deejays feel alternative forms of music need more play now than ever. Some feel this isn't happening and that the entire station has shifted to a more "pop" friendly emphasis and feel. "Since we're on the air now, more people are listening and more people want to hear Top 40," Jeff Sharpe, music director, said. Chris Hull, general manager, believes that the influx in listener support has created a greater sense of responsibility to the communi­ ty and feels the station must adapt to fit this role. The dissension is rooted in a general desire for deejays to have more creative free­ dom and voice. "College radio is about diversity and I believe a little controversy is healthy," DJ Dank said, whose program runs from 4-6 p.m. on Friday afternoons. DJ Dank himself may personify the dilem­ ma at hand with management. He acknowl­ edges the efforts of his bosses, but seeks "a free voice" in his program. Dank claims his show's goal, is "to get people ready to rage for the night" but also feels his potential is limited from standards placed by management. Dank's argument is representative of the' push and pull relationship that has been occur­ ring at The'Burg. Management is burdened by the duty to appease listeners while weighing the opinion of on-air talent. "The station needs to learn to support pub­ lic interest and organizations. We must learn to state an opinion in a respectful, responsible manner. Clubs and organizations have taken offense, we have to be more careful," Chris Hull said. For.now, both management and deejays are, settled in a compromise. With consensus uncer­ tain, The 'Burg persists under a grind of change while working toward self-identification. As for this year, just ask Chris Hull: "It's been a rough transition." by Anetra Petrie Staff reporter A "YouthQuake" is scheduled to shake up the SUB at noon Wednesday. YouthQuake is an intensive train­ ing workshop, focused on enhancing problem-solving, interpersonal, social, communication, leadership, goal-setting and goal-attaining skills. The program will be presented by the Diversity Dance Workshop, a nonprofit, educational performing arts company out of Seattle. The performance will include dramatic dance, poetry and story­ telling as told through the experi­ ences and interpretations of niile troupe members. In a recent Seattle Times article, The Diversity Dance Workshop was described as a cross between MTV's •Real World' and the Peace Corps. The program, sponsored by Central's Diversity Center, is com­ prised of troupe members, ages 18- 24, from around the world, who come from a broad spectrum ol cul- tural, religious and racial back­ grounds. The workshop travels to more than 150 venues each year to educate youth and their families on an array, of critical topics. "We are eager for Central to see what a diverse group they are," Diversity Education Center Director, Carolyn Malone, said. "Their perfor­ mance is representative of all of the things that affect us in society." The workshop will address topics such as unity, drugs, violence, rela­ tionships, peace, poverty and racism through a series of individual perfor­ mances. Performances, such as "Intergalactic and Around the World," urge the audience out of its seats with hip-hop, street dance, gymnastics and other physical dance expressions. "Their performance gave me a double feeling," Malone said. "I had so much fun watching them, and at the same time, it (the performance) made me reconsider some things I lake for granted." The Diversity Dance Workshop will appear at noon on Wednesday, May 18, in the SUB Pit for a one- hour performance. the issue iw several and spiritual views with the audi- chosen to ence.

'Gladiator' worth every penny, but end sucked "Gladiator" is the story of Roman General Maximus (Russel Crowe) who is betrayed by Emperor Commodus (Joaquin Phoenix) because he sees Maximus as a threat to his leadership. His family executed, Maximus is sold into slavery as a gladiator but becomes renowned by the people of Rome and uses this notoriety to plot his revenge against the Emperor. Of course, he does get a little help from new (trust­ worthy) friends, as well as assistance from the Emperor's sister, Lucilla (she's got the hots for him). This little plot summary conceals the good, bad and ugly of "Gladiator." As you can see, except for time and setting, this movie is one big soap- opera, so be prepared for some mushy-cheese with a side of melodramatic slop. Outside of that, however, this movie rocks! The vast and epic scenery is unbelievable, the battle scenes are not only engaging, but gory' as well. Unfortunately, they did err in the nudity department: there was hardly a breast in sight. As for the movie's conclu­ sion, as usual, the whore-mon- gering Satan worshippers in Hollywood enacted that age- old Luciferian equation H=GVB/GW (Hollywood = Good-guy Vs. Bad-guy/Good- guy Wins). Try inserting this alternative ending for a more enjoyable experience: With the help of Lucilla, Maximus kills the Emperor Commodus but is betrayed once more, however, when Lucilla has him assassi­ nated in an attempt to control the Empire herself. ...Well, either that or: They all freakin' die! Symposium displays student projects by Shaundra Prewitt Staff reporter A day of fun, excitement and learn­ ing will take place when Central hosts its fifth annual Symposium on Undergraduate Research and Creative Expression (SOURCE) Symposium. The "SOURCE Symposium features a showcase of student projects, covering a variety of topics presented in both oral and poster sessions. 'The symposium provides opportu­ nities for undergraduate students to pre­ sent their research and creative expres­ sion," Roger Yu, physics department chair and SOURCE director, said. "It also generates a common ground for inter-departmental and inter-discipli­ nary communication." SOURCE 2000 is slated for 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Friday, May 19, in Central's sci­ ence building. The event is co-spon- sored by RGK Foundation of Austin, Texas, which provided grants and pro­ grams to promote academic excellence in institutions of higher education. A luncheon at noon will feature the Kairos Quartet, Central's resident cham­ ber ensemble. Members include Central string faculty Carrie Rehkopf, John Michel, Marcia Kaufmann and Scott Hosfeld. They will present a program about "Perfect hours absorbed in life and creation." Following the ceremony, a sympo­ sium dinner will take place at 7 p.m. in Sue Lombard Hall. At the dinner, stu­ dent winners will be presented with awards.

Orchesis leaps into spring with style by Jennifer Mahler Staff reporter Orchesis Dance Company brings "Rhythm and Sole," its spring show to Central this month. The Central dance company's 33rd annual spring concert features an array of dance s styles, ranging from modern jazz to ballet and theatrical dance. A tap number will also be performed to the music of Korn. "There is something in this show for everyone. We have worked on these pieces all year and it should be very entertaining," Stephanie Barnett, dance, public relations and French major, said. Fifteen students and company direc­ tors have choreographed 17 numbers. Eight of these dances have been chore­ ographed by graduating seniors, mak­ ing the show very special to the compa- ny. The dances range in emotion throughout the show. It starts with a number done in traditional Broadway style, moves toward a serious note, explores humor and continues on to abstract. "One piece that a younger genera-, tion will really enjoy is a humorous dance about Vanilla Ice," Barnett said. "Rhythm and Sole" starts at 8:30 p.m and doors open to the public at 8 p.m. The show runs May 18-29 in the Nicholson Pavilion Dance Studio.

GRUPE CONFERENCE CENTER CWU Campus Open to the Public No Charge for Admission In the last 20 years, "virtue ethics" has emerged as an approach to ethical philosophy that is sometimes held to rival the approaches associated with Immanuel Kant and with utilitarianism. This coincides with a growing sense that perhaps our society does not pay enough attention to virtue, or to the education of virtue. This talk will exam­ ine whether something of practical importance can be done in society by paying the right kind of attention to virtue.

May 18, 2000— Scene — Observer Indie films shown outdoors in dark comedy festival by Bevin Parrish Staff reporter Thursday.

The company possesses a large catalog of films including hits from distinguished festivals and ones featuring well-known Hollywood actors. AtomFilms is an up and coming entertainment company located in Seattle with offices in London. Its films are advertised on MTV. "It is an opportunity to see non- mainstream things that are coming out," Amy Jenson, night club coor­ dinator at Campus Life, said.

This Papa John's is unlike others that Campus Life has put on because the performance will take place in the Japanese Garden. No band has ever before played in the Japanese Garden. "We wanted to expose people in a different way to the garden, as well as try something new for the pro­ gram. We thought it would be a very nice setting," Scott Drummond, assistant director of programs and services at Campus Life, said. All the members of the band attend Central. They describe their music as being "middle eastern-emo- blues." Anetra Petrie will be interviewing the band on The 'Burg Wednesday from 2 p.m.-3 p.m. The admission is free and there will be refreshments available such as coffee, cocoa, tea and cookies. Spurgeon features Masters thesis show by Roslyn Biggs Scene editor Central student Collins Bonds will present his Masters thesis exhibit May 22-26 in the Sarah Spurgeon Art Gallery, located in Randall Hall. "The work is about questioning the object and questioning the mate­ rialism of the art object," Bonds said about the exhibit. The show documents the process in which Bonds created oil paintings specifically with the intent to be burned. After they had been burned, he used the ash from them to make a special paint, which he then used to create a set of new paintings. His process will be demonstrated through photos, taken by fellow art student John Holmgren, video and the paintings themselves. "Art doesn't necessarily have to be about the object, it can also be about the process," Bonds said. "The process can be as equally important as the object." An opening reception will be held Monday, May 22 from 7 p.m.- 9 p.m. .in the Spurgeon Gallery. : Price range limits choice Continued from page 8 average are less expensive. The peo­ ple who live over there take good care of their yards and homes. These houses allow a student not to feel so a part of "college life," are older and do not have the luxuries of new appliances and walls without cracks and holes. On the "other side of the tracks," typically called "dog town," is a generally cheaper part of town. There are many houses and few apartments. It is considered by many to be bad or the not-so-nice part of Ellensburg, but there are some nice places available here. The last options of living are out in the country or up on Craig's Hill. These two places are not very populated with college students and they give the locals a place of their own. Prices of living in Ellensburg range from $200 - $550 for a one bedroom and they rise with more rooms. It is worth taking the time to look for a place you like and in your price range.

Running to Raleigh, NC — *2 wwmm Heather Trimm/Observer Racing against the clock, Central track members must lengthen their strides in preparation for Nationals next weekend. Two Wildcats have qualified with provisional times to compete against the nation's best. by Rachel Wiersma Staff reporter Wildcat freshman Alicen Maier broke her own school record last weekend in the 1500 meters for the third time this season at the Seattle Pacific University Invitational. Maier placed third in a time of 4:35.49, improving her time of 4:35.78, set two weeks ago. "I'm not that happy with my time I'm ready to get a PR (personal record) at nationals. I want to run at least a 4:29," Maier said. Senior Chris Faulconer placed third in the 100 meters (10.91) and the 200 meters (21.82). Faulconer also ran the anchor leg in the third- placing 4x100 meter relay (42.27). Central's 4x400 relay teams post­ ed season-best times at the invita­ tional. The men's team of Josh DeLay, Tom Gaschk, Shawn Bills and Jim Lane placed fifth in a time of- 3:18.90. The women's team of Ellie Fortin, Linsy Nickels, Erinn Nickels and Alicen Maier placed sixth, fin­ ishing in 4:00.20. Sophomore Ellie Fortin's 2:16.04 time in the 800 was good enough for fifth place. Junior Amy Forrey cut 13 seconds off her previous best time, placing ninth in the 3,000 meters (10:29.63). Senior Fred Schmitt cut three seconds off his season-best time by placing fifth in the steeplechase with a time of 9:34.76. "Overall, it was a decent meet," head coach Kevin"Adkisson said. "A lot more schools entered the meet this year it was excellent competi­ tion. We had a strong meet...good performances." Maier and Gaschk are the only two Wildcats with NCAA provision­ al qualifying marks.

Adkisson' thinks Maier will have a better chance at placing in the 1500. Gaschk has also qualified for the 1500. Both will have to wait and see if the NCAA has awarded them entry to the national meet in Raleigh, North Carolina May 26-27 . Highline Community College held a track meet last Saturday for athletes not eligible to participate at the SPU Invitational. Senior Tara Gauthier won the 3,000 in a time of 11:13.3. Junior Emelia Gutzwiler placed first in the 1500 in a time of 5:28.5. Tales of an adrenaline junkie by Matt Smith Staff reporter Imagine flying across the water at 130 mph with the shoreline speed­ ing past you as just a blur. Junior Dan DeFranco, an indus­ trial tech major, does more than imagine it, he races hydroplanes. His family have been involved in the sport for many years. Dan got started racing hydroplanes at a young age. His grandfather got started by build­ ing and racing boats on Lake Washington near his house. For the past year Dan has been honing his racing skills on the APB A (American Pro Boating Association) circuit. Although the design is the same, the boat he races is different from the unlimited class raced at Seafair., "The 2.5 modified class uses a sprint car engine and can reach speeds up to 130 mph on the straight away," DeFranco said. This is different from the See SPEED, Page 75 'am m y/'Z.v. - : " v : WmWWmm mmm Photo courtesy of Dan DeFranco (inset photo Matt Smith/Observer) Sweet 16 slices across the water at speeds of more than 130 mph.

FOOTBALL Fifteen football players have signed: six lineman, five linebackers, a tight end, a defensive end and two running backs. Coach John Zamberlin's goals before starting the recruiting process were to strengthen his line and linebacker positions and to secure a tight end. He had no intention of recruiting a running back until Steve Gabriel signed on. Gabriel is a runningback from Shadle Park in Spokane who rushed for 2,015 yards to earn team and Greater Spokane League MVP honors. He was named to first team all-state as a running back and second team all-state as a kick returner. Another top athlete who signed with Central is Dusty Hawkins. He is a six-foot one inch, 240 pound lineman from Graham in Bethel. He won first team all-league and all- state his senior year. He was also Graham's team captain and was voted defensive line­ man of the year. Other lop prospects include Jeff Graff, a six-loot five-inch, 250 pounder from Prosser. He helped lead the Mustangs to a State AAA title and will probably play offense here at Central. Jon Hook, a six-foot, 200 pound line­ backer from Lewis & Clark in Spokane earned first team Greater Spokane League honors and is an outstanding scholar, making the honor roll consistently throughout high school. VOLLEYBALL Volleyball has also signed many new recruits to help bring the program to a win­ ning season. Head Coach Mario Andaya signed six players, including two top athletes from the Yakima Valley. Randi Rogers was a two-time all-confer- ence player and earned all-state honors while playing at Eisenhower High School. She led Eisenhower to an eighth-place finish in the State 4-A tournament. "Randi has good size and is a very strong player at the net," Andaya said. Heidi Keck earned all-league honors and was an all-state nominee from West Valley High School. She was also captain when her team took seventh place in the state tourna­ ment. She will be coming in as a defensive specialist for Central. "Heidi has great ball control and is mature player for how young she is," Andaya said. Gita Burke is a middle blocker from Black Hills where she earned league and team MVP honors and also earned all-state recognition. Her junior year she Was also awarded first- team all-league honors. She was team captain and led her school in kills and blocks. "Gita is very quick for her size and will help us out at the net," Andaya said. Julie Roberts is a five-foot 10-inch hitter from Lynden High School who earned Class 3-A all-state team recognition where she led her team to a second place finish. She was selected Lynden's MVP and was the Player of the Year in the Northwest League. Roberts earned four letters at Lynden, including two first team NWL honors, a sec­ ond team honor her sophomore season and earned honorable mention all-league honors as a freshman. Courtney Axelson is also from Lynden. Axelson was a three-time first-team athlete. She earned team co-MVP honors as a junior and was her team's Most Inspirational player and captain her senior year. Krista Jones is an outside hitter from D.W. Poppy Secondary School in Aldergrove, B.C. where she was a gold medal winner with the B.C. provincial team in 1998. She is also a two-time Langley District all-star. She was team captain and has a 4.0 GPA. Andaya is excited for the upcoming sea­ son. He said the team's goals are to make a run at the division. "We lost a couple of key players, but we are pretty deep. The freshmen will help fill in the roles we have lost," Andaya said. CROSSCOUNTRY Central's cross country team doesn't have anyone signed just yet, though they do have some top prospects. Coaches aren't allowed to reveal names until the prospects sign letters of intent. Last year the team became the most suc­ cessful cross country team in Central's histo­ ry placing 10th in Nationals. All ten girls that went to Nationals are back this year and 24 out of 28 of the entire team are eligible again this fall. "Both our men's and women's teams are definitely going to be much stronger this year," head coach Kevin Adkisson said. SOCCER Soccer is in the same situation as cross country — they have prospects, but haven't signed anyone yet. Head coach Jerrod Fleury said the team is looking to sign six new players. The team only lost one woman this year and has 18 players returning this fall. "Last year we had seven new freshman that got some wonderful experience last year. This year we are going to be that much more competitive," Fleury said. !*• $ Otter Anytime Pregnant?
