The damage to the sign was estimated at $5,000. Man charged with several incidents of indecent exposure by Niki Abraham Staff reporter Matthew Joseph Spranger, a 22- year-old Central student and Ellensburg resident, was arrested at approximately 7 a.m. Monday on charges of indecent liberties and indecent exposure. A man wearing only a ski mask was masturbating when he grabbed a 59-year-old woman's breast as she was walking along the John Wayne Trail, west of North Water Street. The man ejaculated on her leg. The victim screamed and was able to break free and call 911 on her cell phone as the man fled into the bushes to clothe himself. The man then fled on a bicycle. Dispatch immediately sent offi­ cers from the Ellensburg Police Department, University Police and State Patrol to the scene where they surrounded the area. Police arrested Spranger after a brief foot pursuit. "It was a combination of luck and all-around great team effort," Captain Bob Richey, Ellensburg Police Department, said.

"Initially the suspect has admit­ ted to at least seven of the 26 known incidents that have occurred on cam­ pus in the past year and a half," University Police Chief Steve Rittereiser said in a statement released on Tuesday. "Because of the number of incidents that have occurred and- the period of time involved, the suspect is having some difficulty in recalling specific inci­ dents.

We sat in an office in Barge Hall overlooking the street and trees and had a nice conversa­ tion. She seems eager and excited to be here at Central. So read this inter­ view and take a glimpse into the life of our new President. Katie Hildebrand: Your person­ al life is yours, but maybe you could tell us a bit about where you are from and how you got here? Jerilyn Mclntyre: Well, I was born in Nebraska and my parents were both teachers, so we moved out to California when I was seven years old. My mother had stopped teaching and became a homemaker because back in those days two teachers could not teach in the same school system. Dad was in public relations by then and he became the Director of Public Relations of the California Teachers Association. I grew up in California and went to high school, undergraduate and master's degree at Stanford. I had thought I wanted to be a teacher but decided I wanted to be a journalist. I did that for awhile and then decided I wanted to be a teacher. I got into college teaching at that point with a master's degree and realized you can't be a college pro­ fessor with a master's, so that's when I came up to the University of Washington to get my Ph.D, because I really wanted to be a university pro­ fessor. From there I went to Iowa because that is where the job was. I taught at the University of Iowa for four years and liked it, but I wanted to get back west. Twenty-three years ago, i had the chance to come back to Utah to teach at a really great depart­ ment of Communication and teach what I wanted to teach, which I was­ n't doing at Iowa. I liked Utah but I still wanted to get back to the west coast. My hus­ band, who I met in Utah, worked here for awhile in the Tri-City area so it was good for both of us. KH: So you have been a univer­ sity professor for a long time now. Is this your first administrative posi­ tion? See Mclntrye, Page 2

"I don't think the concert should be in the garden because the Japanese Garden has religious mean­ ing. It's a place of tranquility and relaxation," Chenyang Li, associate professor and chair of the philosophy department said. "I think we have other places for concerts. Having it in the Japanese Garden isn't showing sensitivity to the culture." Scott Drummond said having the concert in the Japanese garden would provide a nice setting for the music and give people a new expo­ sure to the garden.

I was struck by how we could talk about the issues and tensions and ask tough questions, but come across as a really caring and thoughtful group of people. This is a really decent group of people who care a lot about the people. KH: What are some of the issues that you hope to work on next year? JM: Well, I want people to con­ tinue to work together as a team, to communicate, to be honest and to trust each other. There is so much potential on this campus and so many good people, but we must be a team. There are challenges out there, there are the enrollment issues and the funding issues. How do you develop other resources and research funding? We're going in a new direction and I think there is a real possibility to move ahead. . KH: What do you think is the biggest .opportunity that lies here at Central? JM: Well, it is the size of the campus.

Zeller Staff reporter A wide variety of issues were debated over, changed and voted upon, at the last Faculty Senate meet­ ing held Wednesday May 15, 2000. The issues included motions involv­ ing adaptations of the Faculty Code of Personnel arid Procedure, proposi­ tioned salary changes and a couple of curriculum changes. There were two measures passed involving class changes. One involved the physics department, and the second added health education as an option to fill basic and breadth requirements. The changes in the Physics department involved renumbering PHYS 211, 212, 213, to 181.1, 182.1, 183.1 and vice versa. These changes would be "making it as easy as possible for non-physics advisors and pre^major physics stu­ dents to get through the require­ ments," Bruce Palmquist, physics professor, said. This change clears up confusion as to which set of courses comes first for those pursuing physics and engineering majors. For students in this major, taking the set of courses in reverse could set them back almost a year in their studies. PHYS . 211,212, and 213 will now be num­ bered 181, 182, and 183:. PHYS 211,212, and 213, will be changed to 181, 182 and 183. The second change involved the addition of Health Education 101 to the basic and breadth section of Human Adaptations and Behavior. As stated in the course catalog, Health Education 101 is "an intro­ duction to the analysis of the funda­ mental principals underlying the human interaction to foster a better understanding of the human condi­ tion." This course would give the stu­ dents a better understanding of the man-made environment and how to deal with its complications such as disease, accidents and human behav­ ior as a whole. Health 101 was reviewed and rec­ ommended for approval by the uni- U ...we need to trust in the process and the com­ mittee's judgment. — Ken Briggs versity General Education Committee. They deemed this course accept­ able for the general education regi­ men. "It did go through the general education committee, and we need to trust in the process and the commit­ tees' judgment," Ken Briggs, head of health education, said. The basic and breadth requre- ments, revised three years ago, were set up to keep a "broad general edu­ cation of non-vocational, and non- pragmatic courses and to provide rigor to the general education pro­ gram," Faculty Senate member Beverly Heckart said. The number of courses are restricted to keep the general educa­ tion program from becoming over crowded with courses. One argument against the motion said students do not necessarily need a health course: If proper health habits are "not developed by now, it's a little late," Louise Baxter, Faculty Senate member, said. Another argument is that many incoming students have taken this course in high school and perhaps as early as junior high. Health 101 would fill a present gap in the general education require­ ments. This is one of the few univer­ sities in Washington state which does not have the course as an option. The Faculty Senate passed the measure which will go into effect next year. zAstay-ewzg&m£ Lfc- SHIP TO JAPAN.COM SHIPTOJAfWtCOU DHL Staff SHIP TO JAPAN"vSISS—$! z%mD 35tt3itfv07v 7Z&OCDJ*! • arfl • mm » SHIP-TO JAPAN 10kg $111.00 $81.00 15kg $160.50 $110.00 20kg $210.00 $128.00 asm 1 -877-90 JAPAN ('7 HPrfirt : 206-808-0006) WWW.SHIPTOJAPAN.COM zm • C.(OV— • i \ L v 9 7 V 3 B t f J rcicfcHuoi-t. 8:00AM~7:00PM , ± : 11:00AM~6:00PM a : 12:00PM~6:00PM wt- 1 l-.a vS| iili Ssl V'' 9 *"••4 .-x*M if ,.y.

May 25, 2000 — News —' Observer Callaghan addresses future of liberal arts education 1 Tomoko Kanai/Observer Patsy Callaghan,chair of the English department, dis­ cussed the future of liberal arts in her speech May 18. by Andrew Fickes Staff reporter Students and faculty alike came on Thursday, May 18 to honor the chair of the English Department, Patsy Callaghan, and to listen to her speech on the future condition of lib­ eral arts programs entitled "Rethinking Liberal Arts . Education." The Mary Grupe Center was packed to capacity. "They're coming in droves. We better get prepared," Music Department Chair Peter Gries said, as he carried out stacks of chairs to accommodate the relentless crowd. Before Callaghan look the podi­ um. Barry Donahue, president of the local chapter of Phi Kappa Phi, pre­ sented her with the 1999-2000 Scholar of the Year award. Callaghan has already received a distinguished Liberal education will survive technology, and I find integrating technology into education exciting. " — Patsy Callaghan professor award from Central for public service. "Patsy is a very well rounded scholar and teacher. She devotes an enormous amount of energy to her students and discipline," Donahue said. Callaghan focused her speech on the question of whether or not liberal arts education will survive the infor­ Three Central branch campuses create new student councils by Melissa Mitchell Staff reporter The size of the student voice at Central increases as student councils take shape for three of Central's extended decree centers. The Lynnwood. Steilacoom and Sea-Tac centers have each formed a student council. The Lynnwood council will be the first to hold an official meet­ ing at I p.m. on May 30 in room 204 at the Lynnwood center. "What I would like to see this particular council accomplish is set- ting meeting groundwork for future students," Nannette Denouden, a junior law and justice major at the Lynnwood center, said. "I would also like to see the council serve in an advisory role to the center as well as a place for students to air grievances, and to help students navigate the Central education system in gener­ al." Since it is new, the council feels a formal board such as the BOD at Central would be inappropriate. The members will also discuss the mis­ sion of their council and where they would like to see it in the future. Finally, they have set aside some time for students' concerns. The addition of student councils to the extended degree centers comes after Associated Students of Central Washington University Board of Directors (BOD) member Mindy Widmyer saw what she deemed as unnecessary inequities for the stu­ dents at extended degree centers. The students at the center are required to pay the same student fees as a stu­ dent who attends the main campus in Ellensburg, yet they do not receive the same services in return for these fees. "For me, the student council seemed like an excellent opportunity to voice my concerns, implement change and gain a good deal of expe­ rience with student government," Sam Pulley, Lynnwood student council member said. "The main rea­ son 1 got involved (with the student council) was because I wanted to somehow attempt to better the center and participate in its activities." The Sea-Tac and Steilacoom cen­ ters have not set meeting dates yet. 506 S. Ma 11) Si., El lens burg Lunch or Dinner Buffet Large | with two I (carry out only) livery exlfci.

She por­ trayed herself as a strong supporter of technology in education saying it is not a bad thing, it acts as a supple­ ment to education and enhances the learning process. "Liberal education will survive technology, and I find integrating technology into education exciting," Callaghan said. Although she finds technology productive within the field of educa­ tion, she feels it will one day replace teachers like her. With classes taught online, the idea of being educated in a class­ room setting is gradually changing. "I see transition to the informa­ tion age lasting the duration of my career," Callaghan saidv In reaction to her two awards, Callaghan is quite thrown by it all. "I'm stunned and surprised. I don't think I'm too special. I'm very humble about it," Callaghan said. Years of work and dedication have paid off for Callaghan. She loves her job and treats each day as equally as the next. Callaghan is working on a com­ position textbook titled "Making Sense". Rub a dub dub, go check out a club by Jared Fielding Contributing writer Is there anything bet­ ter than good friends who are interested in the same thing you are? Well, try this. Good friends you get to travel with to places like, say, New Orleans. Oh yes, and for FREE. Next, imagine that, while you and this group of splendid friends are enjoying beautiful New Orleans, you also get to attend a conference, delve deeper into the common interest that brought you together in the first place, make more friends, and compete for very attractive awards. The Marketing Club recently returned from just such a trip. If this sounds like a good-time fanta­ sy to you, then pop in your con­ tacts and keep reading. Here at Central there are a mind-boggling 77 clubs. At least one of these clubs shrieks out for your presence, the way chips cry for salsa, the way Ellensburg attracts dust, the way — hey, you get the point. What's your yen? Academics? Try a business club or the Psychology club or the Pre- Medical Organization. Are you interested in ethnicity—your own or someone else's? There is M.E.Ch.A or the Black Student Union. Hike Mount St. Helens with the Outdoor Sports club, practice your foreign language with the friendly folks in the Spanish Club, and share God with the Catholic Campus Ministry. Yeah, but — (you say). Wait! I'm not through listing all of the advantages of clubs. •Community members and merchants will respond to invita­ tions to speak or make contribu­ tions if they come from a club! •You can bring in speakers anxious to share their expertise. • You can plan educational trips to conferences in exotic locales. Central will help fund it if you're in a club! •If you want to expand your circle of friends, even a minor shared interest expressed through a club increases the statistical probability of making friends who share your interest. Hey, it beats hanging out at the circulation desk and asking every fourth person, "Do you like stamps?" •Employers are looking for well-rounded students who h'ave more than just a good GPA. Clubs are a great way to build your resume by showing your involve­ ment and leadership in activities outside of class. •Clubs get you connected. People put information in club mailboxes about special opportu­ nities or scholarships that most students aren't aware of. Yeah, but — Oh, you again? You say Central doesn't have a club in your particular area, which happens to be creating gourmet vinegar? No problem! Start one! One club just starting up is about fly-fishing.

Ninnemann says goodbye to Central The Dean of the College of Sciences plans a move to Colorado by Andrew Fickes Staff reporter John Ninnemann, Dean of the College of Sciences at Central, decided to leave his position after two years to work as the Dean of Arts and Sciences at Fort Lewis College in Durango, Colorado. "It's an opportunity I just can't pass up. It's a pull rather than a push. Colorado is home," Ninnemann said. For most of his life, Ninnemann has lived in Colorado, so the thought of going back is attractive. Durango is a high desert area, located among the San Juan Mountains on the edge of the canyon plateau. In fact, Fort Lewis itself is on a mesa. For Ninnemann and his wife, this is the ideal place to satisfy their outdoor hobbies of hiking, backpack­ ing and camping. "It's our favorite part of the world to prowl," Ninnemann said. 44 Be proud of this institution. The work of students and faculty is very fine. " — John Ninnemann Ninnemann also enjoys photogra­ phy and music. He has been an avid player of the violin for many years and plans to join the symphony orchestra in Durango. Ninnemann came here for the geography of the area and for the challenge that he foresaw. He has no regrets about coming to Central. "Be proud of this institution. The work of students and faculty is very fine. .Programs are very strong," Ninnemann said. What Ninnemann will miss the most are his students and their dedi­ cation. Regarding the programs he has started here, he is sad to leave them unfinished but knows that his col­ leagues are fully capable to carry on the torch. For those who want to. wish Ninnemann the best of luck for the future and to say goodbye, there will be a reception for him from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. in the Lombard Room on Thursday, May 25.

Alleged campus flasher caught by woman, police assist Well, la-te-da, the Ellensburg Police caught what they believe to be the campus Hasher. However, I am much more impressed with the woman he assaulted than the police who arrested the man. Let me give you, my most adored readers, some background. This man has allegedly terrorized the campus and community for more than a year. He allegedly was spotted all over town with his trousers down while masturbating. The person who committed these acts was spotted in university buildings, behind bushes, on residence hall balconies and generally all around town and campus. Although many students joked about such looney-tune acts of perversion, it really is quite serious. Many speculated that although his antics began as just someone mas­ turbating for the public eye, it would one day lead to a serious sexual assault. Now, during the time he was active, the campus police became a joke because this guy was seen all over Central and they couldn't calch him. To give the police some credit, the people who reported the inci­ dents often culled the police quite some time after they saw him mas­ turbating in public. But to have him loose and active for more than a year is unacceptable. Which leads us to the present situation. The Ellensburg Police caught their suspect after he attacked a 59-year-old woman on the John Wayne Trail. This is exactly what everyone was afraid of, that he would actually attack someone and hurt them. The man allegedly grabbed the woman, rubbed against her and then left his "DNA" on her leg. What is really amazing is that during this harrowing experi­ ence she kept her cool enough to break free and escape. Not only that, but she called the police on her cell phone and alerted them to his whereabouts. To top it off, she gave a play-by-play of his escape route so the police knew exactly where to find him. The end result is that the police nabbed this fellow they are accus­ ing of the crime. He's already admitted to committed 13 sexual charges. So, even if this isn't the man who's been terrorizing the town for more than a year, he's still admitted to 13 charges of indecent actions. It still leaves us with the real problem it took too long to appre­ hend anyone for these crimes. Thankfully, just as the acts escalated and got more physical, a person was caught. But this could have been happening all along. Campus police chief Steve Rittereiser said the suspect was arrested in "a timely manner." Puh-lease, since when is more than a year and a half timely?! If you had to wait 18 months for a piece of mail would you call it timely? Just think of the number of women who could have been sexually assaulted before the police caught someone. In the future, these crimes need to be solved quickly to keep all of us safe. —Daren Schuettpelz f 4 Q t • •• Adoption debate lacked content, focused on extremes Last night, I went to Black 152 to listen to the debate over whether we should allow homosexual couples to adopt children. I guess I'm a little naive. I was expect­ ing some well thought out arguments. Instead, I got something quite different. Almost every single argument from the homosexual side was based on some type of extreme case. For example, someone said something like, "Suppose you were running an orphanage in southern Sudan. You have no money for medicine, clothing, recreation, etc, You barely have enough money for bare minimum food. You learn that a couple wants to adopt one of the chil­ dren. However, you learn that that couple is homosexu­ al. Would youreally deny that child a better life simply because that couple is homosexual?" Most of the arguments were some variation on that theme. I admit, these type of arguments are moving, but that's all they are. I forget the technical name for it, but this is the logical fallacy of arguing from an extreme case to a general one. The debate isn't over whether children in such extreme cases should be allowed to be adopted by homosexuals. The debate is over whether homosexuals should be allowed to adopt children in general. This is the same mistake, the abortion rights movement makes. They bring up the cases of women impregnated through rape and incest and say that if we were really compas­ sionate, we would allow these women to abort rather than forcing them to carry these children to term. However, that completely misses the point. The argument is whether women should be allowed to abort children in general. There will almost always be exceptions to the rule, such as children in the Sudan and women impregnated through rape and incest, but these are extreme cases, and have no bearing on cases in gen­ eral. Basically, I was very unimpressed with the arguments See LETTERS, Page 7 OBSERVER • (509) 963-1073 - newsroom • 963-1026 - business office • FAX 963-1027 400 E. 8th Ave. Ellensburg, WA 98926-7435 Lois Breedlove/ Adviser Christine Page/ Business Manager Daren Schuettpelz' Editor-in-Chief Jay Santos Production Manager Rachel Wiersma/Office Assistant Kelly Parks and Heather Templeman/ Ad Representatives News Editor: Jen Perkins, Assistant Editor: Heather Bryant, Reporters: Ahmed Namatalla, Seran Rakes, Melissa Mitchell, Katie Hildebrand, Erika Kiehn, Leonard Dearing, Niki Abraham, Charlie Tu.

Observer — Opinion — May 25, 2000 40 * - Continued from Page 8 presented by the people last night. I see no need to take homosexual arguments in this area seriously until they actually address the issue and not a side issue based on nothing but emotion. Sincerely in Christ, Luke Van Horn Common courtesy makes Ellensburg a better place As one of hundreds who are in the habit of stopping to allow students and faculty to cross streets on campus, I'm stuck by their response. This is Ellensburg, not the Big City where acknowledging the existence of a stranger is a scary thing to do. Think about how cool it would be if you simply nodded or gave a subtle wave of thanks when the courtesy is extended? Around here, it really is ok to treat each other like we want to be treated. To that small per­ centage that already does it, thank you! This kind of cour­ tesy is what makes Ellensburg a better place to live. John Pidgeon Students call for revolution and a change of ideas To "The Students" Where did this dynamic and university changing orga­ nization gd? What happened to the fear mixed with con­ tempt in the Administrations hearts when the name "The Students" was .mentioned^ What happened, to teaching the student body at Central that the "Man" does exist and that he gives not a second thought about trampling on the grassroots of student freedom? We mourn for that group because it to be gone forever. However, we know that the spirit of the movement lives and that good and true ideas never die but simply need to be taught revolution again. All the students' needs rest in the tinder of these ideas and values, from there fire, passion, and revolution must fol­ low. Can we sit idly by while the BOT runs amuck, While Deans sacrifice the legitimacy of our university for noth­ ing, while Faculty decides the students time and money is better served listening to stories of woe, and useless departments and committees philander our money away? The student voice cannot be crushed any longer God knows it has been repressed for too long in now useless organizations like the ASCWU. Perhaps it will serve a function someday but for now it lies dormant and rotting in its own futility. We are not asking for help. We are ask­ ing for a spark of life to emanate from this letter and cre­ ate a storm that cannot be stopped. We are calling for a revolution of the mind and actions of every student on this campus. We ask for all of you to find that part of you that some may criticize as apathetic and struggle it until it dies and is reborn into this rebellion we are creating. It's up to me, it's up to you, it is up to US. Are you interested? E-Mail us at US-Party@hot- mail.com and we'll send you some information. Fredrick Steiner and Associates United Students Party Parents should know if students drink away education In the May 11 issue of the Observer in the letters to the editor there was one in particular that I thought I would respond to. Jeremy Kelly wrote the parental notifi­ cation on alcohol violations that may go into effect. Personally I think notification is a wonderful idea. As a person who has been oh residence hall staff for three years I have dealt with MANY serious alcohol situations. For example, there were alcohol poisonings in which the friends,of the victim were not going to let us (the RA's) know and the person came close, to dying - Imagine you are the parent and this was your child that had died. Would you have rather been notified that your son/daughter had violated a CWU policy and been encouraged to talk to them about it before hand or received a call that your son/daughter had died of alcohol poisoning that night. A lot of people have said their par­ ents wouldn't care, but I think these people are wrong. I think a lot of parents do care. They don't want to see their son or daughter die. I am sure that those parents who pay for their child's education when they are getting bad grades and could get kicked out of school the parent is going to end up paying for one expensive party.

The name was changed in 1882. •After Memorial Day was first observed in 1868 the northern states celebrated this day every year, but the southern states celebrated a day similar to this on a different day until some­ time after World War I. •In May 1966, President Lyndon )ohnson declared Waterloo, NY the "Birthplace of Memorial Day." •The Memorial Day Museum is in an old home in Waterloo, NY. by Bevin Parrish Staff reporter Many people think of Memorial Day as the weekend that welcomes the beginning of sum­ mer. Bu! there's more significance to this three day weekend than many people realize. Henry C. Wells, a druggist in Waterloo, NY, suggested in 1865 that honor should be shown to the dead of the Civil War in the form of dec­ orating their graves. The people in the town made wreaths, cross­ es and bouquets for the veterans' graves and flags were hung at half mast throughout the town. • On May 5,1868 it was officially proclaimed a holiday by General John Logan. The first Memorial Day, originally called Decoration Day, was observed on May 30,1868. In 1971, it was declared a national holiday to be observed every year on the last Monday of May. talent by Kiley Sharpe Asst. Scene editor The Dr. Betty Evans Original One- Act Festival showcases plays that are written, directed and acted by students. This is.the second year of the festi­ val, honoring the memory of Evans, however the performance and produc­ tion of student work has been taking place for some time. Many of the plays submitted were the product of a play writing class offered in the theater arts department. Although the class is not required for submittal, it does prove helpful in giv­ ing guidelines and constructive criti­ cism-from both students and teachers throughout the writing process. / Leslee Caul, tlifeater arts director of marketing and development, said hav­ ing a play produced definitely shows the student is versatile and creative and is a bonus for a student's portfolio. Out of 30 plays submitted, eight have been chosen to perform for this year's festival. The plays will be presented in two groups, the Red Bill and the Blue Bill, showing four per evening. Shows will begin at 6:30 p.m. on May 31 and June 1 in the Tower Theater and at 8 p.m. on June 2 and June 3.

Williams holds the record for staying the longest period of time, alone, atop some of Washington's largest volcanoes. He recounted his experiences, offering insight, advice and hope to students. "Besides photographs, the desire for adventure and achieving the record for spending the most time on peaks of volcanoes in Washington excites me and drives me," Williams said. Williams started his adventures in 1986. He climbed to the summit of Mt. Baker and camped by himself for 44 Sometimes I just had to zip up the tent doors and floss my teeth... to bring myself down to earth. " —Glen Williams five nights and six days. This was the longest anyone had ever camped at the summit. "That whetted my appetite for big time views. Nothing else photo­ graphically even mattered after catching that view from Mt. Baker over that period of time," Williams said. Williams' curiosity was running. He wondered what it would be like on top of Mt. Baker for a month. He spent the next two years guiding on Mt. Hood, Mt. Baker and other mountains to gain more experience. During this time he began to learn about the equipment needed for sur­ viving the expedition he desired. In 1989, Williams accomplished his goal. He climbed once again to the top of Mt. Baker, this time to stay for a month. He had only ten days worth of food to last him for 30 days. "On the ascent I weighed 150 lbs. CUMBER, Page 11 by Anetra Petrie Staff reporter has The "best club on campus" been extremely busy this quarter. For three consecutive months, the International Student Association and its 405 members have been voted "Best Club" by the Associated Students of Central Washington University Board of Directors (ASCWU-BOD). The club accommodates University English as a Second Language (UESL), Asia University America Program (AUAP), exchange students and anyone else interested in interaction with interna­ tional students. "Membership is huge this year," International Student Association officer Richard Jolliffe said. "Everyone who's on a visa...we've got 'em we've tracked 'em down and found 'em." The sudden explosion in the number of active members may be due to the busy schedule the club officers have arranged. "I attribute a lot of the club's suc­ cess to the huge trips," officer Eric Banker said. "They [trips] are more frequent, less expensive and reach out to everyone. There was nothing like this when I went to Scotland." See TRIPS, Page 10
a variety of by John Hieger Staff reporter : The weekend before finals is normally a time for students to rest their brains and gather the necessary motivation to test effectively. However the city of Ellensburg will play host to an open street "party" downtown. GustFest 2000 is a collaboration between. Central, business owners and the Ellensburg Chamber of Commerce to bring together fami­ lies and young adults from around the Northwest to share "cultural experiences" and build a sense of community. Get this the closing act is Subset, which is a combination of The Presidents of the United States of America and the big daddy, Sir Mix-A-Lot. "Sir-Mix-A-Lot in Ellensburg? No way, that's crazy," Nick Riebli, junior administrative management said. Here's the lowdown on GustFest from 10 a.m. to 11 p.m. Pine Steet, between third aind fourth, will be closed off for a street festival and arts fair. The gig offers local arts and food from resident vendors in addi­ tion to games and live music. The Residence Hall Council will provide a Velcro wall and sumo wrestling, in addition to the Central Swing Cats Club which will be offering free swing dance lessons. Voter' registration booths will be available, sponsored by the "Get out the Vote" movement, designed to offer voting information and allow interested persons to register. Early in the day, a Native American drum circle will take place as well as a belly dancing demonstration that starts at 11 a.m., followed by a variety of bands that will be playing, including local groups Puptulla and Gyft. These bands are expected to take the stage around noon. Meanwhile an assortment of "exotic" festivities is scheduled to take place for children and families. The second half of GustFest is centered on a series of musical per­ formances starting with celtic music at 4:30 p.m. Various acts such as Dub Narcotic Sound System and The Pin-Ups will follow the celts leading up to the headlining perfor­ mance at 9 p.m. The addition of Sir-Mix-A-Lot to the GustFest agenda has students talking, many of whom still remem­ ber the "controversial" earlier days of the famous rapper. GustFest orga­ nizers and sponsors insist the event is not intended to be a rock concert, but many students think otherwise. "Sir-Mix-A-Lot is dope," Ryan Baker, junior business education, said. "If anybody can rock, Mix-A- Lot can rock!" The city wants to make this an annual event. Regardless, show up in one form or the other with Sir Mix-A-Lot at the helm there's no telling what the result could be. * coupon limit 4 coupon limit 4 Deli coupon limit 4 coupon limit 4 coupon limit 4 coupon Observer — Scene — May 25, 2000 Breakfast Sandwich 7am to llam only 1.19 expires 06/20/00 1/4 pound Cheese Burger & 1/2 pound oi fries 2.59 expires 06/20/00 1/4 pound Cheese Burger & 1/2 pound of fries 2.59 expires 06/20/00 PIZZA Giant Two Topping 7.99 expires 06/20/00 PIZZA Giant Hawaiian 7.99 expires 06/20/00 Bud or Coors l2oz Bottle Light or Reg Must be 21 or over with valid ID.

EEL May 25, 2000— Scene — Observer Gay adoption forum discusses sensitive topic Controversial subject challenges views on both sides by Bevin Parrish Staff reporter Some people came armed with their strong opinions. Others came uninformed on the issue ready to have their questions and uncertain­ ties answered. To some, it was per­ sonal. To others, it was just interest­ ing. Either way, they were all there to discuss the same thing. "Only when you know both sides can you make an informed decision," Angie Dirk, president of GALA, said. Thursday, May 18, GALA and the Center for Student Empowerment sponsored a gay adoption debate in Black Hall. This event was intended to inform people about the issue and present arguments that exist on both sides. "1 hope that students question their motives for thinking what they think," Dirk said. The presentation began with a short film about lesbian couples rais­ ing children. Following the. film, the three panelists were given a chance to explain their position on the issue. The three panelists were: Agustin Fuentes, assistant professor of anthropology Bob Case, instructor of philosophy and business and James Powell, retired family practi­ tioner. Case was against gay adoption. He prepared a statement which out­ lined the reasons for his position. "Marriage celebrates diversity," Case said. The fact that this statement was used to argue against gay adoption puzzled many people in the audi­ ence, which led people in the crowd to question Case. However, Case responding specifically to the diver­ sity that exists between a man and a woman. Fuentes was in support of gay adoption. He posed the question "What does a child need?" He answered his question with nutrition and affection. Fuentes spoke about the huge range of child rearing pat­ terns and marriage patterns around the world. "Raising a child is an interactive process that takes nature and nur­ ture," Fuentes said. Powell was opposed to gay adop­ tion. He spoke of God and the Bible in support of his argument. Powell talked about the many straight couples that want to adopt, and then directed it toward the abor­ tion issue. "Most of you are probably pro- abortion, I am very pro-life," Powell said. Powell discussed the shortage of children available for adoption as a result of the abortions that are per­ formed. After each panelist had the oppor­ tunity to explain and defend their positions, people in the audience addressed the panelists with a variety of questions. They offered com­ ments, questions, hypothetical situa­ tions and even called the panelists on some of the inconsistencies in their arguments. -- "It was hard to remain silent. I had to mediate and make sure every­ one got along," Dirk said. The audience was eager to ask questions, share comments and learn others' views on the issue. The debate was scheduled to end at 9 p.m., but went on until almost 10 p.m. m. •« ,• ,v$ mmwm sts. - v y\™\ • ^ A* WW • - - r. lilt Kim Nowacki/Observer 'Girls just want to • • • Gala Pride Festival karaoke contestants Patrick Baker, Aaron Scully, and Bill Salcedo strut their stuff and best evening wear.

Observer — Scene — May 25, 2000 fljj BORDER Polynesian dancers shake luau Compiled by Angela Barbre and Elizabeth Belts Smart Answer A high school English teacher reminds her class of tomorrow's final exam. "Now class, I won't tolerate any excuses for you not being here tomor­ row. I might consid­ er a nuclear attack or a serious personal injury or'illness, or a death in your imme­ diate family - but that's it - no other excuses -whatsoev­ er!" A smart-ass jock in the back of the room raises his hand and asks, "What would you say if tomorrow I said I was suffering from complete and utter sexual exhaustion?" The entire class does its best to stifle their laughter. When silence is restored, the teacher smiles sympatheti­ cally at the student, shakes her head, and sweetly says, "Well, I guess you'd have to write the exam with your other hand." by Jennifer Mahler Staff reporter The Diversity Center found a new way to bring culture and diversity to Central with Polynesian dancing and food. "The luau promotes diversity and cul­ ture awareness. It's great because a lot of people haven't seen this kind of dancing before. Culture and food, the best combi­ nation," a program coordinator, Crystal Hassell, business administration sopho­ more, said. The luau started at 5:30 p.m., May 18, with a buffet-style dinner. It included pineapple teriyaki chicken, wild rice, sal­ ads and fruit. Coconut cake was served for dessert. "The food is better at these events than it is at the dining hall," junior busi­ ness administration major, Kristal Brown, said. Tunstall Commons Dining Hall, where the event was held, had an island W i Heather Trimm/Observer Polynesian dancers created an authentic Hawaiian atmosphere and promoted cultural awareness during the dinner - s feel to it.'

"These programs are really fun The tables were decorated with flow- because it's more than just going to eat. ers and had leis on them for each person. It's more social too," sophomore family and consumer science education major, Kara Bradford, said. Polynesian dancing started at 6 p.m. During dinner, "He Makana Aloha" dancers, meaning "The-Gift of Love," performed for the audience in traditional clothing. Four men played Hawaiian instru­ ments, while a number of women took turns performing.different dances. Many of the dances paid tribute to Tahitian her­ itage. "I came because I was excited to see the dancers. I've never had this opportu­ nity before," Brown said. Diversity center staff was impressed by the turnout of more than 150 guests, which maxed out the hall. "Celebrating Asian Pacific Islander month with a luau is unique and different from the traditional posters and dis­ plays," a program coordinator, Tobi Goering, accounting, office management and human resource management senior, said. CLIMBER: Physical condition intensifies drive Continued from page 8 And on the descent I weighed 108 lbs. The lack of food, sulfur dioxide poison­ ing and 100 mph winds leave you lack­ ing in calories and strength to drive you," Williams said. Williams described hallucinations, heart palpitations and getting lost in ice storms. At one point he saw black around the edges of his vision. He said it was definitely something to remember. In 1990, Williams ventured out for Mt. St. Helens. Through avalanche marines he ascended toward Crater Rim. After spending 22 days there he decided he'd had enough. "I had snow of 10 feet accumulated around my tent, 80-85 mile-per-hour winds and avalanches coming down. Luckily there was no lightning," Williams said. After a nine-year absence, Williams started his expeditions again in August of 1999 when he began his ascent of Mt. Adams. He made it to the top at 12,276 ft. and set up camp. "1 set up my tent and it wasn't about a week when a U.S.G.S. guy came by and pointed out that my tent was literal­ ly set on the highest square foot of the mountain, completely by accident," Williams said. Out one of Williams' tent doors he could see all of Washington and out the other he saw all of Oregon. To the East he could see Idaho and even part of California to the South. "It's so intense it's hard to describe. Sometimes I just had to zip up the tent doors and floss my teeth or trim my nails just to bring myself down to earth," Williams said. Williams has accomplished all these feats despite odds set against him. When he was 19, Williams found out he had severe scoliosis, among other things, from breaking his back when he was seven. He was told he would be in a wheelchair by the age of 35. "After that, I started thinking, if that is ever going to happen or even is a pos­ sibility, I'm going out with a bang. I'm going to do everything I possibly can," Williams said. Williams has future expeditions planned as well. He is planning on stay­ ing on Glacier Peak, the last wilderness volcano in the United States, and Mt. Hood this summer. In 2002 he plans to spend six weeks on top of Mt. Rainier which would be the longest stay in history by one person. "I want kids to know they can do whatever they want. They need to find their own limits, particularly handi­ capped kids," Williams said. .4 4)4) 4)4* 4)4) 4) 4) 4)4)4) 4) IftdveAcK Oohf'r staM0(1* ££«/ Se//4 */**#«• Sf-uJtJx Mt.

May 25, 2000— Scene — Observer Salon Fenix makes a difference *NSync's 'No Strings Money raised and donated toward breast cancer awareness Attached' leaves by Anetra Petrie Staff reporter Breast cancer will lake the lives of nearly 44.000 women this year. Salon Fenix has decided to do somc- thing about it. hut they need the com­ munity's help. "I don't know anyone who hasn't been touched by cancer," -Salon Fenix stylist and Marketing Director Jvm Cady said. During the months of May and June, for every Shades EQ color ser­ vice given. Redken will donate 25 cents to support breast cancer research at the City of Hope Medical Center and Beckman Research Institute. Redken, a manufacturer and dis­ tributor of professional hair prod­ ucts, makes the Shades EQ hair color. It is a long lasting, semi-per­ manent hair color that tones high­ lighted hair, boosts shine and promises that "a beautiful color can make a beautiful difference." "There has been a big resurgence in helping both the global and local communities," Cady said, "and this was an excellent opportunity to align ourselves with something we believe in." The salon's goal is to give a Shades EQ color service to one or two people per day. "We are so pleased to see people wanting to make a difference," Salon Coordinator Colleen Rawcliffe said. Salon Fenix works toward achieving charitable goals year round with events like this August's "Cut-A-Thon" to benefit the Ellensburg animal shelter and the chimposium as well as the donation of gift certificates to the local women's shelter. "We do a lot to support the com­ munity, because the community sup­ ports us," Cady said. The Shades EQ promotion will last until June 30.

So what does this tell us? It tells us that there are officially 2.4 million more worthless suckers in this coun­ try than previously estimated by the U.S. Department of the Census. If the Unabomber was the sixth member of *NSync, he would have never scored a kill, because you can see shit this bad coming from a mile away. I'm somewhat brain-boggled by this whole boy band phenomenon. Didn't New Kids on the Block break up in the early '90s? I suspect with the advent of sheep cloning, some sick bastard must have pricked Jordan Knight (NKOTB member) with a needle in a dooms­ day mission to duplicate his genetics to ruin mankind with his spawn. Well, whoever he was, probably a Time-Warner record executive, his efforts weren't in vain. His devious scheme to flood our T.V.s and air­ waves with the musical equivalent of vomit has worked and now we are all worse off. But back to the music: the album boasts such hits as "Bye Bye Bye" and "I Thought She Knew." These tracks are all disheartening and they leave a Ganges-like taste in your mouth. There's really nothing I can say about the musical accomplish­ ment on this album without lying. It's crap, pure and simple. All the ^ songs basically repeat the same "heartbreak/love" theme. Folks, this isn't original recognize these guys as the next generation of Michael Bolton. For all the fools out there who actually bought this album I don't ^ know what to say. In this case, you probably deserve to be "beaten to death with it, along with all the other CDs in your Celine Dion/Winger collection. The going rate for the new *NSync album is $17. Here are a couple suggestions of ways you could better spend your money: pay somebody $17 to beat some sense into you, buy a different CD that you won't have to deny owning two ^ years from now or buy enough Hamm's Ice to drink yourself into a coma. People that come out of comas usually claim to look at life differently, hopefully this could be your ease. - 'Uptown' catches lunch crowd flow by Anetra Petrie Staff reporter Coffee-scented air floats out of a small, colorful building on Main Street, inviting visitors in at 7 a.m. every morning. D&M Coffee's new store opened to the public in April.

Even here in Ellensburg people are reporting Edgar sightings. Edgar Martinez admits it gets a little much at times but he has ways to overcome it. "For me, I've been able to avoid a lot of distractions because I learned that they [fans] like to see me per­ form," said Martinez. Martinez said that for the most part, he doesn't hear the seething, roaring masses in the stands when he plays. "A lot of times when you are doing good it's almost " automatically ' ! blocked," Martinez said of the fans' cheering. But when he's in a slump, Edgar confesses the blaring music and fans get through. "When you're not doing so good that means your concentration is not so good, so you start hearing all the music and all the stuff and that's what you don't want to do," Martinez said. When a player is hot, sometimes nothing gets through because the players are so wrapped up in what they need to accomplish. "Sometimes you sit down and they [teammates] say, 'I like that song they played for you.' 'What song? I don't even know what song they played!"'Martinez jokes. Martinez has been a fix­ ture in the Mariner lineup for his entire career, from the minor leagues to playing pro ball. In today's baseball mar­ ket, it is an accomplishment that few have succeeded in. "It makes me feel good that I've been able to stay with the same club," Martinez said. "It also means that I'm doing the job and they're happy with my. per­ formance. I've been proud of that." Martinez joined the Mariners in 1983 playing for the Mariner farm club in Bellingham. He quickly rose to stardom and now receives screaming ovations each time he approaches home plate. Martinez grew up in the balmy Caribbean so the move to the drizzly Northwest was a shock to his system. He admits the transi­ tion was something to over­ come but feels comfortable calling the area home. . He confesses that he thinks baseball is something of a business these days. "I try to think of it as a game but it's hard," Martinez said. "It's become a business «... wsmBm msi aw Daren Schuettpelz/Observer Edgar Martinez has played with the Mariners for his entire career and plans to stay with the club through the rest of his professional life. and you deal with it and atmosphere of baseball takes think of it as a game but in its some of the fun out of the own world, it's a business." game.

After graduation on June 10, Stewart will be accompanied by her moth­ er to the Nationals. Because of graduation, a Walla Walla Community College Rodeo Team Member, freshman Kate Wateage and her parents, will be hauling Stewart's horse "Trigger" to Wyoming.

"This recruiting team is solid and will help out in future years and lead us in the right direction," women's head basketball coach Jeff Whitney said. Karen Causseaux is a 5-foot-9- inch guard out of Bellarmine Preparatory. Karen's strength is her athleticism. "She has the ability to play sever­ al.different positions," Whitney said. Karie Pruet, a 5-foot 9-inch for­ ward, is a two-time NWAACC first team player out of Spokane Falls Community College. She averaged II points and four assists per game and was voted the NWAACC East Region MVP last season. "Karie's strength is that she is an excellent three-point shooter and defends very well on the perimeter," Whitney said. Mandy McCann is a six-foot post player out of Ferris High School. She averaged 12 points per game and earned Greater Spokane League All- Star honors her senior season. "Mandy has tons of potential. She has tremendous upside and her future is bright in our program," Whitney said. Kim Biles, a 5-foot-10-inch for­ ward, is a team walk-on this year.

Whitney said her outside shot has improved and she might be a contrib­ utor to the team this season. ' Breanna Kelly, a center from Bothell, Kelsey Ellis from South Whidbey High School, Nicole Rudy from Elma and Stephanie O'Farrell, a AA Player of the Year from Ephrata, have all signed to play at Central. Coach Whitney said there are some possible redshirts in the group, and they will-all have to battle for spots on the team. A possibility exists to sign one more player who would be an impact player, but Whitney is not allowed to elaborate since the player hasn't signed a letter of intent to play at Central yet. MEN'S BASKETBALL The men's team picked up some key players to help put together another successful team this season. The Wildcats lost their top three scorers on a team that won 21 of 28 games and averaged a school record 91.1 points per game. Justin Thompson is a 6-foot-7- inch forward from Lower Columbia Community College. Head coach Gary Sparling believes that Thompson will have an immediate impact on Central's team. "Justin is very athletic and will put some points on the board for us," Sparling said. At LCC, he averaged 26.1 points and 9.1 rebounds. Thompson was the leading scorer and sixth leading rebounder in the NWAACC last sea­ son and was named MVP of the West Region of the NWAACC. He was also one of the NWAACC's top three-point shooters at 38.2 percent. John Townsan a 6-foot-7-inch forward is another new addition to the Wildcats. He graduated from Snohomish High School and played the past two seasons for Edmonds Community College. At Edmonds, he averaged a dou­ ble-double with 16.1 points and 10.4 rebounds. He earned second team NWAACC honors and his rebound­ ing total ranked fourth in the NWAACC. "John is a very good defensive player and will contribute to the team," Sparling said. A third player signed to the Wildcats is Chad Williams. He is a 6- foot-7-inch forward from Burlington-Edison High School in Mt. Vernon. Williams averaged 20.5 points and 7.8 points last year for Burlington where he earned all-con­ ference honors three years in a row. He scored 484 career points, the sec­ ond highest in school history. Tyler Mitchell from Nooksack High School is the final new addition to the team as of now. Mitchell aver­ aged 16.1 points, 11 rebounds, three assists and two blocks per game at Nooksack. He led Nooksack to a fifth-place finish in the Class AA State Tournament. Mitchell scored a total of 1,405 points and 936 rebounds to earn three consecutive MVPs for his team and three first- team all-league honors. He was also named to first team all-state his senior year. Sparling said that both Williams and Mitchell have tremendous upside. "They are young and will help build our team for the future," Sparling said. The coach has a few more players he would like to have, but they have not signed letters of intent yet. The new recruits will add to a squad that returns five players, including one starter, Brandon Rinta, and two redshirts. Last year the team reached the championship game of the NCAA Division II West region- als. WRESTLING Head coach for the wrestling team Kevin Pine has yet to sign any new recruits, but has some of the top wrestlers in the state looking to sign soon. "I expect we will probably sign about 15 new players and probably 15 or 20 others will show up for practice," Pine said. • The wrestling team has almost its entire line-up back, for next year, so Pine said that there will be a fight for some positions. Jack Anderson finished, last sea­ son with a 39-12 record and was awarded an outstanding wrestler award at Northwest Championships and NCAA West regionals in the 157 weight class. Shaine Jaime received Ail- American honors with a 41-13 record in the 141 weight class. He finished placing third in the NCAA Division II National Tournament. Matt Ballard went 32-15 last sea­ son and was NCAA West regional champion in the 165 weight class. Chris Feist who is a two-time Ail- American for the Wildcats might also be returning next year. He was injured halfway through last season, but hopes to be healthy next season. SWIMMING Swimming head coach Candy Carlson has signed just one new player to Central, but that player will add depth to the team. Ryanne Gerry, from Whidbey Island, will compete in both the indi­ vidual medley and the fly. According to Carlson, Gerry is very versatile. . . "We want to go up in numbers and in depth," Carlson said. She also expects more relay teams to make it to Nationals. A redshirt from last year, Vicki Schmaltz will be competing in the freestyle and the fly. "Vicki is a huge asset to the team, and will make it to Nationals," Carlson said. Jay Box and Natalie Price, both National qualifiers last year, will be back again this season. Box placed 15th in the mens 200 yard backstroke with a time of 1:55.15 last year at the NCAA Division II nationals. His perfor­ mance brought the men's team to a 25th place overall finish. Price qualified for Nationals, but didn't place in the tournament. The women's team did, however, take 23rd place at Nationals.

Though the victory belonged to the division winning alumni, the current women's team is optimistic about the years ahead. by Matt Smith Staff reporter The bruised bodies and grass stained uniforms may still be fresh, serving as ^ a reminder of the women's rugby season. The club's regular season came to a close with a loss to the alumni team last Saturday. "The game went really well, we had a lot of fun. It was a blast, it Was a big self esteem booster for the girls," said team member Amanda Phillips. Last weekend's game was the annual season ending game between this years current team and Central rugby alumni. Even though the game resulted in a loss the team held its own against the tough squad of division winning alumni. "The girls are really proud of themselves for how they played last weekend. We played against two All -Americans and. a team that knew what they were doing," said Phillips. A rebuilding year is often tough on any team of any sport. Lacking senior leadership and experience the young women's rugby team was just two games short of making it to regionals due to a forfeit and a loss. "We did really well for a rebuild­ ing year. We had a shot at it in the end but it didn't pan out," said Phillips. Counting on leadership from newly elected team captain junior Marie Schesler, and with this year's lessons learned, the once young team is now hardened from it's rebuilding year and is ready to face next year's long season. "It (next season) is looking pret­ ty promising we know what we're doing and we're looking forward to next year. It's going to be a. lot of work but it is looking pretty well," said Phillips. The rugby team has the longest season out of all of the Wildcat ath­ letics. It spans all three quarters with a couple of breaks scattered around. They travel all over the Northwest playing other rugby squads from Washington State University, University of Oregon, and Western Washington University to name a few. Women's rugby still has a battle ahead but the future is promising. Team captain Marie Schesler said next season is looking good. However, they're hoping that some new women decide to join the team to make a strong team even stronger. illinas i committee reports - FfftHpnrlr ~ fVrifral'c AFl clnr» James on hold in Shumate w looking for a candi- convinced her of the need to re- dafe With a master's decree who nhen thp. nelerrinn nrr»Pf»« search Have an interesting story idea?
