The event was co-sponsored by ASWU and Operation Dream. The event began with a performance of several songs on acoustic guitar by Senior Carrie Sessarego. "It's pretty easy on this campus - which is predominantly white and predominantly con conservative servative - to say the right things, but it is a little more different to do the right thing," said Sessarego before playing. Junior Alex Rodinsky then introduced the first speaker, Todd Hutton, vice president for Academic Administration. "We're here to stand up for justice and equality," said Hutton. "We're here to stand up against swas swastikas tikas on our campus" and the "hate that struts through our streets today." Hutton ended by telling the audience to "adopt peaceful, non-violent, but absolutely non-compromising methods of opposing hate." t Chaplain Charlie Wallace was the next speaker. "Good afternoon, my name is Charlie, and I'm a recovering racist," said Wallace, K. . IS t ' k A. Around 180 students attended a rally against racism in Jackson Plaza on Tuesday. adding, "I say that not because tomorrow is Lent, but also because there is an element of truth in it." Wallace also spoke about his view that the concept of reverse racism is a myth. According to Wallace, "racism is prejudice plus power," and minorities do not have sys systematic tematic power in current American society. "With the recent happenings on campus, we recovering racists have a problem and an opportunity," said Wallace. The problem, to Wallace, is that "only those who are op oppressed pressed can liberate themselves and others." The opportunity is for "recovering racists" to redeem themselves. "We're here for the long haul. We've done this before in this plaza and we'll do it again," he said. ASWU President Heather Dahl and AST1TJA President Yuki Takahashi spoke about the need for equal treatment. During Dahl's speech, around thirty students exited the library due to a fire alarm. The speech was Takahashi's first public speaking appearance in English on campus. "In Japan, I never thought about racial racialism. ism. Because, we are a majority in Japan.

First candidate for writing center meets with students by Amy Schlegel Staff Writer Students upset with alcohol policy, says survey by Mac Rinehart Contributor A recent survey of students, conducted by the Public Opinion and Voter Behavior class, shows that 64.4 percent of students be believe lieve Willamette University's Al Alcohol cohol Policy is too strict. The alcohol question, formu formulated lated by Sophomore Josh Harwood, was just one of several questions on the survey, which polled student opinions on various campus issues. The survey was primarily designed to determine what impact question wording has on public opinion. Nevertheless, the survey results yielded some very interesting in information formation about student opinions, according to Professor of Politics Richard Ellis. The survey conducted on Willamette's Alcohol Policy indi indicated cated that the highest level of dis dissatisfaction satisfaction existed among Greek men. 75.7 percent of the 87 Greek men surveyed indicated that they considered Willamette's Alcohol Policy to be too strict. Greek women came in second, with 63.8 percent responding that the policy is too strict. 62.5 percent of non-Greek men considered the policy too strict while just 43.3 per percent cent of non-Greek women consid considered ered it too strict.

He is one of four candidates the English Department is considering for the Hallie Brown-Ford Chair in Literature. The position is an en endowed dowed chair that will begin next fall. Stafford, Poet Laureate for the state of Oregon, is currently teach teaching ing at Lewis and Clark College in Portland. Stafford was the first of the four to visit Willamette's campus. His visit began last Thursday with a "students only" lunch in Goudy. Stafford met with about 12 stu students dents with majors as diverse as Chemistry and Spanish, although a large majority of the students were English majors. The discussion focused on Stafford's ideas for the position if hired and students' ideas about Willamette.

Stafford hopes to treat the cen center ter as a "kingdom of writing" where all kinds of writing skills would be developed and cultivated. He con conceived ceived of this as an "open studio" in which students, faculty and com community munity members could discuss cur current rent writing endeavors.

Businesses in the city were closed in mourning for the victims of the Monday morning blast on a street crowded with shoppers and merchants. Black flags hung from windows around Zakho, a town near the Turkish border in the Kurdish autonomy zone. A shop owner said at least 10 of the dead were shoeshine boys, ubiquitous on crowded Iraqi streets. The blast left all 2-foot-deep crater. "I was standing at the end of the street when I heard a tremendous explosion ... I didn't know what had happened at first ... Then I heard wailing and screaming. There was blood and bodies all over," said Nazir Omer, a 25-year-old Iraqi Kurd. Omer said some people were flung 1 80 feet by the blast. No one has claimed responsibility for the car bombing. One of two main Iraqi Kurdish groups, the Kurdistan Democratic Party, blamed its rival, the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan. The two have been fighting since May for control of the Kurdish en enclave. clave. The Patriotic Union of Kurdistan, however, blamed Baghdad. Saddam Hussein's regime has fre frequently quently attacked the enclave, where Iraq's 3.5 million Kurds hope to establish an independent homeland. The zone was set up by the United States and its allies in the Persian Gulf War after Saddam crushed an uprising of Iraqi Kurds in 1991. Air Force 1st Lt. Christopher Leist, U.S. spokesman at the Incirlik air base in Turkey, said the death toll was 76 and at least 123 people were injured. Allied war war-planes planes are based at Incirlik to protect the self-rule Kurdish zone. Kurdistan Democratic Party officials in Zakho said at least 83 people were killed, with the death toll expected to rise because many people were seriously injured. The bomb contained an estimated 220 to 330 pounds of dynamite, according to the Kurdistan Democratic Party. Sami Abdel Rahman, a senior official at the group's headquarters in Salahuddin, said the bomb was hidden in a red Volkswagen Passat. Election reveals conflicting visions of Hong Kong's future by Marcus Eliason Associated Press With snowy hair and an accent redolent of afternoon tea and scones, Englishwoman Elsie Tu seems Hong Kong's quintessential colonial in these dying days of empire. Szeto Wah, on the other hand, is Hong Kong-born and Chinese to his fingertips, a thorn in the colonial government's side from his days as a strike organizer. But appearances are misleading as these two pillars of Hong Kong politics square off in a municipal election Sunday that tran transcends scends issues of sewage and local bus routes to reveal the conflicting visions of Hong Kong's future under Chinese rule. Mrs. Tu, 81, a former missionary from Newcastle, England, belongs to Hong Kong' s loosely defined pro-China camp and can ex expect pect to be embraced by Beijing when it re recovers covers the colony from Britain in 1997. Szeto, in contrast, is one of China's most vigorous critics, a leader of Hong Kong's main pro-democracy party, and therefore cer certain tain to be frozen out by the post-1997 admin administrators. istrators. Szeto and his Democratic Party maintain that the only way to preserve Hong Kong's freedoms beyond 1997 is to anchor them in a system so strong that China cannot dismantle it. Mrs. Tu, the incumbent in the municipal council race, sees no point in pestering China for democratic freedoms it can't or won't deliver. That makes her realistic rather than pro-China, she says. Last year, Mrs. Tu opposed Gov. Chris Patten when he broadened Hong Kong's democratic system in defiance of China, and China has signaled its appreciation by co co-opting opting her onto the panel of Hong Kong notables it has set up to advise it on the 1997 takeover. The Chinese brand Szeto "subversive" and exclude Democrats from the advisory body. "Beijing only listens to views that please it," Szeto says. Mrs. Tu disagrees, citing human rights cases in which she quietly intervened and got results. "I think China is learning," she says. Voters in Kwun Tong, the grimy working-class area where Szeto and Mrs. Tu are .Q competing, face a dilemma because both candidates are so popular. A recent opinion poll in the South China Morning Post put Szeto narrowly ahead, but more people were undecided than supported either candidate. China, for all its stated contempt for West- O ern-style democracy, is actively backing pro pro-China China candidates, especially Mrs. Tu. It knows this election is a rare opportunity to demonstrate it has a grass-roots base in the colony. Szeto' s Democrats are Hong Kong' s most popular party, but they recognize the chal- lenge they face from pro-China candidates. To unseat the revered "Elsie," as Mrs. Tu is universally known, would be a huge tri triumph. umph. If anyone can do it, it's the equally revered "Uncle Wah." Balancing the budget would require unprecedented federal cuts by Alan Fram Associated Press We can slash taxes, let spend spending ing grow slightly each year and still balance the federal budget by 2002, congressional Republicans say. Is itpossible?Theoretically, yes. Federal revenues grow every year thanks to the ever-expanding economy, and spending increases could be held so low that the deficit eventually would go away. But by the GOP's own figures, the job will require constraining what the government does by a magnitude that has never been seen. Despite frequent statements by Re Republican publican leaders that the task, though painful, is achievable, it would, in fact, require decisions that would strain the limits of what politicians are willing to impose on voters. House Budget Committee Chairman John Kasich, R-Ohio, has often said that even while eliminat eliminating ing the deficit and reducing taxes, the government could spend $2 tril trillion lion more over the next seven years than it spent during the last seven. "Any American taxpayer that would have that kind of a percent percentage age increase would be thrilled. And that's essentially what we have to do," Kasich said Tuesday. Kasich's figures, while provid providing ing an interesting historical com comparison, parison, have little to do with the task the GOP faces in fulfilling its goal of balancing the budget in seven years. Some other numbers that House Republican budget writers are using, however, are far more instructive. Republicans have promised not to raise taxes. But according to their own figures, they could balance the budget and pay for $360 billion worth of tax cuts while letting fed federal eral spending grow from $1.53 tril trillion lion this year to $1.78 trillion in 2002. The gradual increase means that over the next seven years, the gov government ernment would spend a cumulative $1 trillion more than if annual ex expenditures penditures were frozen at 1995 lev levels. els. But most of that money would be eaten up by the growth of Social Security, which Republicans have vowed to leave alone, and by the continued growth in interest pay- ments on the federal debt. The bottom line: While balanc balancing ing the budget, cutting taxes and leaving Social Security and interest payments alone, the government could spend only $297 billion more over the next seven years than if federal expenditures were held to 1995 amounts. This would mean that spending for most federal pro programs grams would not even be ahle to keep up with inflation. That $297 billion seems like a lot of money. But compared with everything the government does, it's an anthill, a figure that would require spending constraints far exceeding any accomplished dur during ing the Reagan administration or the 1 990 budget summit or in Presi President dent Clinton's 1993 deficit-reduction package. And to many, it illustrates how painful it would be to limit spend spending ing growth to that amount, which would be much smaller than would otherwise occur. Such constraints would mean "major, drastic, Draconian changes in existing programs," said Martha Phillips, executive director of the Concord Coalition, a bipartisan anti anti-deficit deficit group. "I don' t think it' s unachievable," said Daniel Mitchell, senior fellow with the conservative Heritage Foundation. "But it all boils down to a political question. Who knows how Republicans will handle it? Who knows how squeamish the American people will get?" Why is a $297 billion increase over seven years a small amount of money for the government? The main reason is health care costs, which are expected to swell rapidly because of the surging price of medi medical cal treatment, the growing popula population tion and the increasing number of elderly people. In fact, spending for Medicare and Medicaid, which help the eld elderly erly and poor pay medical bills, is expected to grow by a cumulative $967 billion over the next seven years when compared with this year's levels. Obviously, that eats up far more than the extra $297 billion the government would have to spend. Republicans have already said they plan to find big savings in Medicare and Medicaid. The num- bers show they have little choice but to do so - and to impose strict restraints on most of the rest of the government as well. After all, like Medicare and Medicaid, numerous programs by law spend whatever is needed to automatically pay benefits to whom whomever ever qualifies. These include pay payments ments to veterans, students, farm farmers ers and other groups with active lobbies on Capitol Hill. Adding pressure is the House O Republicans' pledge, included in their "Contract With America," to end the gradual reduction in mili military tary spending that has run unabated since the last years of the Reagan administration. The three biggest areas of federal spending would thus & be immune from deep cuts: Social Security, defense and interest on the debt. "You don't get to a balanced budget without somebody making what the president calls shared sac sac-rifice," rifice," said House Majority Leader Dick Armey, R-Texas. fircfin V 1 w Top quark sought CHICAGO, Illinois - Less than a year after announcing they'd found evidence of the missing piece of matter essential to un understanding derstanding the universe, scien scientists tists this week are expected to proclaim the discovery of the elu sive "top quark."

Attorney General Antonio Lozano Gracia announced Friday that Colosio was the victim of a conspiracy - which Mexicans had long suspected - and that a second gunman had been arrested.

Compiled from Collegian Wire Services News 3 March 3, 1995 The Collegian Group trying to encourage off-campus study by Charlotte Jones Staff Writer In an attempt to increase the value of every student's educational expe experience, rience, the Working Group on the Curriculum is now debating how to get the maximum number of stu students dents off of Willamette's campus. The Off-Campus Education Focus Group, a faction of the Working Group, has done its part in reform reforming ing Willamette's curriculum by ex examining amining the off-campus study pro program. gram. One of the group's first goals was to produce a working philoso philosophy phy and list of goals for the off off-campus campus study program. According to George McCowen, when the group began its examination of the program, they realized that, in terms of a philosophy or set of goals, "there really wasn't much, only a few sen sentences." tences." Two of the first subjects gener generated ated concerned different require requirements ments of the off-campus study pro program. gram. Members debated and then rejected the possibility of requiring all students to participate in an off off-campus campus study program. According to McCowen, the idea was appeal appealing ing at first because, "our aim is to make off-campus study options ex experiences periences open to as many students as possible." A second idea proposed required an off-campus study experience in earning a Bachelor of Arts degree. This idea was also rejected. Bill Smaldone explains, "Off-campus study shouldn't be as concrete in a ( ' Curriculum YCr Review sense that to get a BA you have to have studied abroad or off campus." Despite these rejected ideas, the group still believes that off-campus study can enrich the educational experiences of many students. They formulated a few propos proposals als to keep the cost of an off-campus study experience down, or at least fairly stagnant. In the case of study experiences abroad, the committee proposed that transportation costs, like plane tickets, be included in the total cost, and that this total cost not exceed the cost of tuition at Willamette. As another way to involve more students in off-campus study, the committee is looking at expanding the types of off-campus programs offered. According to McCowen, "we broadened the concept of off off-campus campus study to any study involv involving ing a multi-cultural experience." The committee concluded that it wasn ' t necessarily a requirement that students leave the country to do an off-campus study. "We decided that you could just as easily have an excellent off-campus experience within the U.S. as you could abroad," said Smaldone. Therefore the com committee mittee has begun to brainstorm pos possible sible off-campus study programs within the U.S. in an attempt to make the program a possibility for more students. These programs would hopefully be more accessible to students who find they cannot, for whatever reason, study abroad. Another way to get more stu students dents thinking about doing an off off-campus campus study is by presenting the option early on. "As soon as stu students dents arrive (as freshmen) we want to encourage them to think about off-campus experiences," Smaldone says. By presenting the program to students early on, the committee hopes to not only interest more people but also to better prepare those who decide to take advantage of the idea. Preparation has also been an issue of discus discussion sion among com committee mittee members. "We want to make sure that everyone who goes is ready," said Smaldone. The group plans to examine the concept of orien orientation tation carefully. The preparation for and reflection on one's off-campus study experience have been the main focus when the group seeks to find a place for the program in Willamette' s curriculum. McCowen feels that "a multi multicultural cultural experience should be a part of the general education require requirements." ments." However, he and the focus group also want integration into the curriculum on a personal level. Ac According cording to Smaldone, this aspect requires that "each student's expe experience rience comes back to Willamette in a concrete way and becomes part of that person's liberal arts education." In an attempt to encourage this second type of reflection and to integrate it into the curriculum, the committee has discussed plans to add a half-semester Part B course designed for students returning from their trips. The course would re require quire students to write about and discuss their experiences. Future plans of the committee include bringing """"" a speaker of na tional repute to campus to ad address dress not only their focus group, but the entire Working Group on the Curriculum and the campus as well.

As Bill Smaldone says, "Most students should have an off-campus study experience. Therefore we need to make the program as effective and as wide-ranging as possible." The Off-Campus Study Focus Group is working on ways to give every student the opportunity to enjoy an off-campus experience. Their first steps toward reaching this goal are: Including transpor transportation tation costs to off-campus study locations in the total cost of each pro program, gram, which would not exceed the cost of tu tuition ition at Willamette.

Editorial 4 Tiie Collegian March 3, 1995 Glee week timing not great, but no reason for apathy The actual Glee Week is quickly approaching us. Unfortunately, the majority of the students at Willamette do not choose to participate in this event. It is sad that a tradition 87 years old can now only draw around 60 students from each class, including TIUA students. Glee is an incredible experience. It brings students from all over campus together for a week of fun uniting them with their respective classmates. Everything is done by students and is an opportunity to let talents shine. It may seem like only a marchingsinging competition, but it is actually a bond that links past and present Willamette students. Over the past few years, though, the number of participants has declined. For years Glee week has fallen around the middle of the semester. This is the first problem. Because Glee is such an important event and the date is set far in advance, professors should take it into consideration when plan planning ning class schedules. In order for Glee to survive, the professors' support is necessary. Glee is an experience and tradition that bonds members of each class together while having fun and promoting school spirit, which happens only once a year. Not giving a midterm or having a paper due during that week could greatly increase the number of participants. The time commitment is another reason students tend to turn their heads at Glee. There are several practices during the week, but that is necessary and worth it in the end. Also, no one is expected to put their life on hold for a week, just to include another activity. Individual prac practices tices are not mandatory as long as students attend the majority of them. People think it takes skill to participate in Glee, but this is wrong. One does not have to be able to sing on key or have prior marching experience. Sure, it helps, but it is not a requirement for participation or having fun. Many students have said Glee is "high-schoolish" and immature for such wise and mature college students as ourselves. However, it takes a lot of concentration and work to be able to learn a song and marching formations in just one week. Several people put a lot of work and energy into Glee each year and would not call it an immature event. It is a production that has the possibility to bring Willamette together - both current students and alumni, as well as each class and the university as a whole. It is hardly appropriate to call something with that capability imma immature. ture. The bottom line is that there is probably no where else in your life that you will be able to do something like Glee. This is your chance to participate in a tradition that has continued at Willamette for nearly nine decades. It is up to us to keep it alive. It would be a shame to have to explain one day in the future "to your child attending Willamette what Glee was and how it died. We must keep the flame burning, and you can do your share by taking that step up the risers with your classmates. So, what's your reason for not marching?

M Letters Glee concerns voiced by jr. class manager Dear Editor, Glee week is upon us once again, and as we face another tremendous opportunity to compete as classes in a unique singing-and-marching competition, I'd like to take this opportunity to address some of the concerns I've heard from several students over the last few years re regarding garding Glee. Student participation in Glee has not reached its potential in several years and there are numerous con concerns cerns that I hear from students in all classes about time commitment and involvement in Glee. From Mon Monday day through Friday of Glee week, each class has three or four prac practices tices per day in order to prepare its presentation for the big event on Saturday. It is easy to feel over overwhelmed whelmed by the number of prac practices tices and the time commitment, but in no way is every practice compul compulsory. sory. Some practices will inevita inevitably bly conflict with academics, and I am not about to advocate missing important classes for Glee. (I won't be at all of the Junior class prac practices, tices, and I'm a class manager.) I realize that we are fast ap approaching proaching the season for mid-terms (I have one on Tuesday), and some students have complained to me in the past that their professors inten intentionally tionally schedule exams and papers to be due during Glee week to dis discourage courage student participation. I can't vouch for the validity of this claim, but if such is the case with some professors, I must assert my J& fk I PIP IT' Erik Holm Editor in Chief Gabrielle Byrd Managing Editor Christopher Ames Business Manager MarkFriel Darkroom Manager Ryan Teague Beckwith News Editor Jennifer Lynn Miller Sports Editor Sarah RoseZollner Features Editor Andrew Bernhard Campus Events Editor Joe Findling Copy Editor Dan Metz .' Copy Editor disappointment. Glee is an 87 year year-old old tradition unique to Willamette University, and while I would never advocate putting academics on the back burner for Glee, I think adjust adjustments ments can be made in syllabi for a one-week custom each spring. Other concerns have been raised about the length of the Glee pro program. gram. In the last few years Glee has lasted more than three hours, and after a while it can become tiring. I know of efforts underway this year by the overall and class managers to shorten the length of Glee by way of limiting introductions and cutting back on some of the formalities. (And, as has been my experience, the more involved you get with Glee, the less you notice the length of the program.) Glee provides a great chance to meet several TIUA students who, after their first month in Salem, are eager to join in Willamette's most time-honored tradition. TIUA stu students dents have contributed a great deal to the success of Glee in recent years when Willamette student body participation has not been so high, and I have formed friendships with many TIUA students through in involvement volvement in Glee. Glee offers students a great chance to come together as classes in a rare and unique spirit competi competition. tion. No other event on the Willamette campus unifies students with their respective classes as Glee does. This year, with the TIUA stu students dents and an increased number of Willamette students participating, we can truly make this Glee a memo memorable rable event for all in attendance. I encourage all students to give what whatever ever time they can next week to help ensure that this fine tradition continues on our campus for many years to come. Ken Ray Junior Class Glee Manager Campus events not compulsory f Dear Editor, On Saturday, the 25th, I was sitting in the television lounge of Shepard House, excitedly awaiting the start of the televised basketball game between Oregon and Arizona, when I was approached by two fe!" low students asking me if I was going to attend "American Pictures" at Smith. Before I could respond, one of the two students began shak shaking ing his head as if I had no choice in the matter. I told him, however, that I was not going. I was immediately" asked why I wasn't going. Despite the fact that I was slightly annoyed by my need to justify my choice of how to spend my afternoon, I told him that I had been waiting for this basketball game all week, and I wa going to watch it. Immediately, he responded with, "your not going because you're watching BASKET BASKETBALL!" BALL!" He stormed out of the lounge with a look on his face, much the same as if I had just told him off. Perhaps I was misinformed, bi? when was it announced that this event was compulsory? If this pres pressure sure leveled onto students in order to raise attendance at student-led events becomes commonplace, then I wonder what's next? I have the utmost respect foi ' '-those those who bring socially conscious events to this campus. In fact, I go to most of these events. On this par particular ticular day, I just had something else to do. So, while I commend those who organized "American Pictures" for bringing this event to campus, I would like to remind them that events are optional, and that students should not be made to feel badly for not attending them.

As a nation, we do donate nate millions to charities, save starv starving ing Somalians, and most impor importantly, tantly, we have welfare. Of second secondary ary importance is whether or not welfare, as it exists in 1995, is actu actually ally helping its recipients. The sig significant nificant fact is that welfare makes Americans feel good about them themselves. selves. Why else would welfare con continue tinue to exist in today's United 4- States? It is commonly accepted, even by the most liberal of liberals, that making someone work for something is more beneficial than giving that someone that something. Welfare doesn't make people work; it makes them walk to the mailbox v " once a month. There would appear to the ca casual sual observer that there is little threat of communist overthrow of the American government. At the time of the inception of the welfare state in the United States, in the 1930's, this was not an entirely outlandish possibility. Now, however, the Soviet Union has fallen, and capitalism has proven its valor to everyone except many of those currently involved in higher education. Welfare, then, cannot be viewed as an attempt to buy off the poor, to keep them from rioting and killing all the property owners in an orgy of class upheaval. Perhaps welfare is the attempt " on the part of the Congress and president to manipulate society to fit their worldview (I hate that word). This is unlikely, though, in light of the numerous congresses and presi presidents dents which have continued, indeed expanded the welfare state since its J origins under Franklin Roosevelt. It is doubtful that all of these vari various ous politicians, from Johnson to Nixon, could have agreed upon something so broad as the reforma reformation tion of society. So, it would appear plausible that welfare exists largely to make Americans, those of us who pay for welfare, not those who receive it, feel good. There are a number of arguments that indicate that wel welfare fare should not make us feel good, The Liberty Bell Jeffrey T. Eager though. True philanthropic endeavors should include a personal touch, a certain loving care endowed by the giver to the recipient. The philanthropist should be able to carefully choose the lucky recipi recipient ent of his or her good will. Welfare com completely pletely ignores this personal, car caring ing aspect of gen generosity, erosity, and re replaces places it with a monstrous bu bureaucracy reaucracy and a check from the government. Is it truly generosity when the giver knows nothing about what their money is spent on? I should think not. If we are in interested terested in the ef effects fects of our gen erosity, welfare has turned out to be a bad invest investment. ment. More people are poor today than thirty years ago, despite the continual assistance provided to the anonymous pauper by the anony anonymous mous philanthropist. A question should form in the mind of the American humanitar humanitarian: ian: why do we have welfare, if it doesn't even make me feel good? The answer to that is to blame it on the politicians, of course. You see, presidents and con- It is commonly accepted, even by the most liberal of liberals, that making someone work for something is more beneficial than giving that someone that something. Welfare doesn't make people work; it makes them walk to the mailbox once a month. gressional members have been mak making ing themselves feel really good by using our money. They are the ones who get to decide who gets the money, and how much. They are the ones who get to decide how much each of us will give. In effect, they become the giv givers, ers, even though they are giving away our money! Our elected offi officials cials are the best of Americans, for they are generous beyond even their considerable means. For this they are looked upon kindly for their generosity; after all, we mustn't, as Ameri Americans, cans, be stingy. But I guess it turns out that if we Americans feel good when we give stuff away, we should feel great about wel welfare, fare, though not because we are giving money to people we think truly need and de deserve serve it. Rather, be because cause we are su supremely premely generous with our right to decide the way in which to distrib distribute ute our good will; we give this right topoliticians. Ev Every ery election, we have given politicians the gift of making our philanthropic decisions for us. We may not be able to feel good about giving money to the poor, but we can sure get that "warm fuzzy" from bestowing ourgift-giv-ing ability on our elected officials. It may occur to the average, big big-hearted hearted American why it is that we can't get our jollies from giving stuff directly to the people we want to. But then what would the politi politicians cians do for fun? Students outdo others' lack of sleep This Sunday my phone had the audacity to wake me up. Instead of waiting for the answering machine to pick up and actually make my life easier like it says on the box, how however, ever, I had to stagger across the room and pick up the offending instrument myself. As if this were not stupid enough, I also felt the need to put on my "I've been awake for hours be because cause I never sleep" voice, just in case the anonymous person on the other end might think I had nothing better to do than sleep on a Sunday morning. As usual, this particular ego egotrip trip serves only to get me into trouble. Now that I have perfected the fake alert voice to a fine art, I spend most of my life wondering what exactly I have "worked out" and with whom, what I've"taken care of," and how much of the stuff people tell me I promised in the morning or in the middle of a paper was ever really mentioned. Why can I, and I believe the majority of others, not feel justified in sleeping when someone else is awake? Most likely this is the same deviation which makes us turn the five minutes before 8:00 classes into a top-this contest of sleep dep rivation. Somehow it is always more glamourous to be overbooked and stressed out than healthy, well bal balanced anced and full of vim. I am a perpe- The Innocent I Heather Hovde trator of this phenomenon. One of those pathetic individuals who can cannot not function without sleep, I greatly admire those who can stay up all night and not turn into party enter entertainment tainment after the first 20 hours. By all logical calculations, those who never sleep should be pitied for their lack of self-preservation. I, however, cannot help but look upon people who forgoe sleep as only a little less than gods. If they can even write a paper after a 48 hour stint, only live sacrifice will do. Perhaps it says something about the nature of our society that people are afraid not to be overburdened and overtired. Most of my friends are happiest when the daily planner has to have extra leaves and every machine message is a reproach. Somehow it's just more satisfying to add 50 post-it notes to the calen calendar dar than to risk not being occupied - and having someone find out. Pro ductivity, even if it does not involve money or actual production, is so ingrained in us that time is simply wasted if not spent in some kind of organized activity. God forbid if it is wasted sleeping. Even recreation is not immune to productivity syndrome. Scaling cliffs over spring break sounds so much better in the retelling than doing nothing in particular. It is much better to spend the weekend partying "hard" than relaxing. I hate to admit when I spend a weekend not only in Salem, but without any anything thing memorable to talk about in Spanish class on Monday. This could be how things which began as purely fun activities become pro productive ductive in the retelling. Despite the fact that I love my majors and never mind the work for them, I feel the need to talk about the same homework I used to hide under the pillow at night as a ter terrible rible chore. Even a purely unmoti unmotivated vated and exercise free walk be becomes comes much more taxing when I am asked what I "did" in the afternoon. Of course I went to the store to get toothpaste (it took two hours to get to Payless), why else would I go outside? I am, after all, a busy student. Responsibility needed with use of language, power tools Back in wood shop in junior high I knew this guy, Stacey, who took the class exclusively to use the big industrial tools -the lathe, bandsaw, bench router, joiner - you name it. Unfortu Unfortunately, nately, he never paid much at attention tention during the instructional part of the class; he just sat there zoned out 'till it was time to use "the tools." Consequently, one day he fed a huge board into the planer and experienced what wood shop teachers everywhere are fond of calling "kick-back." Kick-back occurs when one sets the planer too low, and the planer's high speed blades dig too deep into the board, shooting it back out at you at near-relativ-istic speeds. The kick-back that Stacey created didn't hurt him, as he was on the other side watching the sawdust fly ev everywhere. erywhere. Instead, the board flew out of the shop and struck the home home-ec ec teacher in the ab abdomen, domen, instantly kill ing her and her unborn baby. (It broke the skin any anyway.) way.) Everyone at the school was shocked, but at first, the ques question tion of blame was a tricky one. Stacey didn't know about kick kickback, back, and clearly had intended no harm. After some debate, it was decided that Stacey was to blame, as it was his responsibil responsibility ity to learn how to use the pow powerful erful tool, and he had blatantly shirked that responsibility. Wood shop 6 planer look puny. I would like to discuss one of the more powerful terms: rac racism. ism. The Clap John Cable I know, I know, it seems of late that using the word racism is a stinkin' fad here at Willamette University, but please bear with me. Denote racism and you have some power, connote it and you have a loaded gun. Unfortu Unfortunately, nately, the people listening to you talk automatically do both without first consulting you on what you mean. For those of you not really paying attention; the point is NOT that racism isn't a problem -the point IS that terms like racism should not be used lightly. Right now the word "racism" is all over this campus. Why is not important. Who did it, al although though interesting, is not im important. portant. What's important? That words are powerful, and while it is your right to use them, you should (in a perfect world) also take responsibility for your use of them. Students everywhere think that there is some huge anti-Japanese sentiment here, and I truly have yet to see it. TIUA friends of mine hear the talk and fear that Willamette is teeming with militant racists who hate Japanese students. We have used our teachers are anal freaks for a reason: They know you are going to be us using ing powerful tools, and do not want you or others to be harmed by the misuse of such a power. THE MORAL AND LESSON OF THE STORY IS: Shop teach teachers ers are good for more than just reminding us to wear our goggles. They teach a respect for power - a lesson that many of us fail to apply to ourown use of powerful tools. Now you may be asking yourself: "What the hell is this? I rarely if ever use power tools!" In one sense, you are right, however I firmly believe that you and I both use an extremely powerful tool every day: lan language. guage.

News 6 TJje Collegian March 3, 1995 Lesbian Avengers share battle methods during forum by Ryan Teague Beckwith Editor Using terms such as "dyke" and "butch" as a means of empowering and describing themselves, 13 mem members bers of the Portland chapter of the Lesbian Avengers gathered at Willamette University to help raise awareness of bigotry against mem bers of the gay, lesbian and bi bisexual sexual commu- " nity.

Entering the room with a song denouncing Lon Mabon, the direc director tor of the Oregon Citizens Alliance, the Avengers launched into what turned out to be a three-hour session in which they shared "coming-out" experiences and gave examples of their grass-roots methods. Although some methods the group has used in the past have in included cluded illegal actions, such as alter altering ing stop signs and billboards, taking yard signs and putting stickers on cars, the members stressed that these activities were not mandatory, and members only participated on an individual level. "It really is about survival," one member of the group said. The members of the group expressed the We need to be seen so that we're not the people who get tramped on." A Lesbian Avenger sentiment that these activities, though illegal, were justified by their struggle. Group members also noted that the majority of their actions are le legal, gal, if somewhat unusual. For ex example, ample, after a rash of anti-gay and lesbian graffiti appeared on the Port Portland land State University campus, a group of Avengers hid behind park benches until late at night. They then spent several hours writing somewhat sa satirical tirical anti-heterosexual com comments ments on all of the sidewalks of the campus. One of the Avengers noted that these kinds of protest activities are beneficial because they get people talking about the issue, are relatively cheap and are completely legal. Also, the majority of the mem members bers of the Avengers said that assimilationistpolitics, such as what was used in the "No on 13" cam campaign paign were not representative of what they stood for.

"We need to be seen so that we're not the people who get tramped on," said one young woman.

In order to give the audience a better perspective, they were asked to wear stickers spouting the names that members of the "queer" com community munity are bombarded with every day, many of which the group very casually used in referring to them themselves. selves. When questioned about their use of such terms as "dyke," "butch," "trans-dyke," and "queer," one young Avenger said, "It has become really empowering to use those words." Another member of the group said that these terms are usually only used in acceptable contexts among members of the gay, lesbian, and bisexual community, "there has to be a level of trust." Another Lesbian Avenger said that type of the terminology is used because, "It's a part of reclaiming words." For the same reason, the Lesbian Avengers have begun eating fire. When two members of the lesbian bisexual community were killed in a firebombing, national attention turned to Oregon. As a symbolic act of empower empowerment ment and a way of remembering their slain friends, the Avengers learned to eat fire. A rally in Salem, including a candle-light vigil in re-j membrance of the dead, was held on the second anniversary of the bomb bombings. ings.

Group to discuss men's topics The Men's Group, a forum in which men can get together and discuss issues important to them, is returning to campus.. Contrary to popular belief, the group will not be focusing on regaining power over women, empowering male egos or participating in immoral activities. Instead the group is set up for men to simply express themselves. Organizer Derek Hevel said, "Sometimes men need a chance to break away from the male stereotype to be themselves without group pressure. This group is a laid-back, non-threatening way to do that." The second Men's Group, which plans to meet monthly, will take place next Tuesday, March 7 at 7pm. The University's only male counselor, Ben Coleman, who has his own practice in town, will lead a discussion of men's viewpoints. The group will meet at Delta Tau Delta although it has no Greek connection. All men are welcome to attend.

The Dane was Jacob Holdt, a photographer and one-time vagabond who spent several years traveling through Americaduring the 70's, sell selling ing his plasma so he could afford to capture his experiences on film. For the first program of the C.O.P.'s Operation Dream, Holdt presented a seldom-seen view of American life via photos, music, and interviews, concentrating on the rela relationship tionship between American whites and the black underclass. "The 'show' is oppression, not entertainment! You will go through an incessant and seemingly endless bombardment of statements of the type blacks have always tried to ex express press to us, but your defenses will have no outlet. Thus you are being oprcssed!" wrote Holdt in his intro introductory ductory flier. Bombardment was right. The presentation, which lasted more than four hours, was broken up into three segments: the agrarian south, the urban north, and a discus discussion sion period. For the first two sections, Holdt projected slides - two at a time - of the people he encountered during his first stay in America, as well as more recent photos from the 80's and 90's. The slides were supplemented by a backdrop of music, narration, and interviews with the people in the pho photos, tos, many of whom Holdt lived with for weeks at a time.

While the photos captured what their subjects consider ordinary life, most of the audience was staggered by the experience of seeing and hear hearing ing those still living in virtual slavery and urban squalor. "It made me feel more depressed than anything else. The slide show made it seem more real than I had ever realized before how conditions are in the South, but it was really hard to tell after watching it how we can respond. It seemed really distant from Willamette," said sophomore Kathy Weatherly. Committee members who worked to bring Holdt to Willamette for the first event of Operation Dream said that was the whole point. "We wanted to bring awareness to campus - this is pretty much stark reality in terms of a historical and social perspective," said senior Lisa Tran. "Even though only 60 people showed up it was worth the . cost." Afterwards, approximately fif fifteen teen of those who had attended the first two sections of the program met with Holdt in the Alumni Lounge to discuss their reactions and possible solutions. "We sort of get mixed messages. Racism is taking place in the hidden messages we get all the time. That's why itcan be so hard to stop. . .There's a big difference in knowing that rac racism ism is wrong and actually living that out in every situation," said sopho-, more Gary Sweeten. "I think raising awareness is a big thing - it's the first step in getting people to realize that Willamette isn't the real world. You have to know what is out there before you can act on it," said senior Brione Bemeche. Fundraisers are often boring ac activities, tivities, such as bake sales or car washes. The charitable organization gets money and the contributor is left with nothing more than a clean car. The Teen Parent Alternative High School, however, is seeking to break the cycle of monotony by holding a zydeco dance that will provide a good time and a new experience to most people. This school benefits teenage par parents ents and helps them finish high school, which can be difficult for young par parents. ents.

Gino Delafoge and the French Rock and Rollers will be the band performing. Zydeco finds its roots in a much older musical style, Cajun, but is not to be confused with Cajun. "We in the zydeco community call cajun 'chankie, chankie' music," said Seecke. Finding its roots in French, Acadian, Creole and Anglo-Saxon folk music, Cajun is the music of southwestern Louisiana that began to emerge in the late 1800's. Although the accordion was origi originally nally German, the Cajun culture adopted it. Zydeco uses the accordion as a musical focal point but also brings in electric rhythm guitar and bass as well as drums and a rub board.

This Moonshine Records release, is mostly a compilation of electric dance music by various artists that is best described by its title. I wish I could come up with a phrase of my own to label this CD, but 'Trip Hop" hits the nail on the head. The first track is the best in the compilation, in my opinion. "Filthy " by Saint Etienne (no, I haven' t heard of them either) is a great grooving sort of song that is very reminiscent of MC 900 Foot Jesus. Because of the smooth, female vocals, this song is very pleasant to simply sit and listen to. The rap raplike like nature of it and the bass could very well make you get up and do the "Running Man". . .if you suck. If the sounds of Soul Coughing' s "Screen Writer Blues" and "If I Only Had aBrain" by MC 900 Foot Jesus were combined, it would sound something like "Filthy." "Filthy" is both the first song and last real vocals to be heard on the CD. Any other voice to be heard is either sampled or distorted to a point that is beyond human. From here on out, it is pretty much dance music. That is not to say that this is techno. For one thing, the speed of these songs is generally much slower and therefore much easier for the sober listener to keep up with. Far fewer samples and less of the harsh noise aspect also distinguish this from techno. "Boing Dragon," by Step Disk, is fine illustra illustration tion of this. The bulk of the song is a strong bass line and drum loop that will keep the dancing going. Mixed in are a few samples and some faint scratch scratching ing to provide the trip element to the sound. There a few notable exceptions to the dance theme. "They Came in Peace," by Tranquillity Bass, is what I would call sort of ambient. Though it still has some rhythm to it, the song mainly drifts peacefully along, even with the tuba being the primary instrument through most of it. The CD also features a Paul Weller song by the name of "Wildwood" that has been remixed cour courtesy tesy of Portishead. This song has a definite retro, Portishead sound to it. This CD can be boring at times. Many of the songs are basically a couple loops stacked on top of each other. Most of the songs are fairly lengthy as well, so by the end of a song, you might be a little numb to it because of the repetition. However, the concept of "Trip Hop" is some something thing that interests me. This style is a very good mixture of the elements of rap, hip hop, and techno rave music. Even for those who don't much care for any of those styles, they might find this sort of stuff to be very good. 'Trip Hop" should not be confused with the synth-pop of the '80s, with bands like Level 42 and such. This has a very different sound. 7 Ml! , wiii iTiHiTnifuMit Simple Minds Do you remember the days of elementary school skating parties? If you do, then you will probably recall Simple Minds too. "Alive and Kicking" was one of the great ' 80s hits by Simple Minds and seemed to be required at every skating party and dance held in grade school. Simple Minds released "Good News From the Next World," their first non-compilation album since "Real Life" in 1991. And apparently, few things have changed since those days. They have reemerged as one the premier cover bands today, by covering their '80s hits. "Good News From the Next World" gives testimony to the old adage that history repeats itself. This album release may have the significance to twenty somethings that the Eagle' s "When Hell Freezes Over" has for the 40 plus crowd. "Good News" is Generation X classic pop-rock. The CD is good, but is basically a rehash of mid-80s pop with a little '90s alterno-pop thrown in to make it "new." Getting radio play is the first track called "She's A River." It is touted to be "sensuous and dangerous all at once" by their publicity releases. Vocalist Jim Kerr must be singing about a pretty special girl, I must say. She raises him "like a building to the very top." Wow, I wish I had a girl like that. "And the B and Played On" has emerged as my favorite song on the disc. It is as energetic as "She's A River" but not as happy. This song has more power and emotion than the rest of the tracks. Simple Minds attempts to publicly exorcise such demons as temptation, decadence and, ooooh, love. Overall, the CD is quite good. Even though it is not very original, they do the same thing very well. They should, they have had good practice doing it. One real positive thing I notice was the taut production of the album. Keith Forsey did an outstanding job. The band credits him with help helping ing to create the rock and roll sound of the album and pushing them to do more. Despite their long hiatus, Simple Minds may well make a comeback to the pop music forefront. Hey, people are wearing pastels and flourescents again. Anything can happen. SeinLanguage points to comedy in everyday life By James Fujita Contributor O.K., quick question. How many of you reading this watch Seinfeld? Uh-huh. That's what I thought. That thought probably also entered Jerry Seinfeld's mind when he wrote SeinLanguage. Seinfeld, the "show about noth nothing," ing," rambles through the daily lives of Jerry, George, Elaine, and (Cosmo) Kramer every Thursday evening on NBC. It is possibly one of the funniest shows currently on TV, and despite a slow start in the summer of 1 990, it is now over 100 shows old and typi typically cally achieves a rating among the top ten shows each week. For a program that has devoted whole sections of shows to topics such as masturbation, coffee tables and noscpicking that's pretty impres impressive. sive. For those of you who watch the show regularly, SeinLanguage is a small paperback that may be worth looking into for those days when you need a good laugh and International Economics isn't cutting it. One good thing about SeinLanguage is that it really isn't meant to be read cover to cover, but can be picked up and flipped through, which is a handy aspect for a student (orprofessor) whose scheduledoesn't allow for long periods of recreational reading. It captures the essence of the TV show with its somewhat random style, yet it is organized into general sec sections. tions. True to Seinfeld style, one sec section tion is titled "The Thing is the Thing" and just covers general "things." Parts of the book are obviously taken from the small bits of stand- up that get featured y O U I d n 't it be in the show, and . , . most of it has a CG if yOU COUld flowing style to it have a car alarm that cairy athatwasa,ittIe story.

"It seems to me the way they design the car alarm is so that the car will behave as if it were a nervous, hysterical person," reads a passage in "Shut Up and Drive." "Anyone goes near it, anyone disturbs it, it just goes, 'Waahaahaahaahaah!', lights flash-: ing on and off act ing all crazy. Not everyone wants that much attention to themselves." "Wouldn't it be nice if you could have a car alarm that was a little more subtle? interesting. Another good Seinfeld reference for regular Seinfeld watchers would be The Entertainment Weekly Seinfeld Companion, which gives great facts and trivia about characters, episodes and concepts surrounding the show. Both books are available in most major bookstores, but unfortunately not at the Willamette Bookstore, where SeinLanguage is sold out. "I will never understand why they cook on TV. I can' t smell it. Can't eat it. Can't taste it. The end of the show, they hold it up to the camera, 'well, there it is. You can' t have any. Thanks for watching. Good-bye." Seinfeld never seems to run out of subjects, and his trademark humor reflects a lot about life that anybody can find true, even if they never Somebody tries to break in the car and it goes 'Uh, ahem. Ahem. Excuse me?' I would like a car alarm like that." These are just a couple of Seinfeld's great concepts, and more than once while reading parts of the book, I found myself laughing out loud at the absurdities of real life that are so wonderfully teased at by Seinfeld.

The musical is a love story between "Babe," a pajama factory worker leading the grievance committee, and Sid Sorokin, who plays the new superintendent of the factory. Their relationship is hindered by the workers' demand for a seven and a half cent raise, because it puts the two opposing leaders at odds with one another. It includes acting, dancing, and singing with a strong flavor of the 1950s. Pajama Game performances will be April 7 and 8 at 8 p.m. and April 9 at 3 p.m. The cast said they expect a good sized audience, even though the musical coincides with the Theatre department's Court Dances. The group preparing the show is actually the Musical Theater class. Since the beginning of the semester, the class has been meeting twice a week for two hours. After spring break, though, the group will be practicing evenings to polish up for their weekend musical. The two lead roles are played by senior Raymond Fordyce, who plays Sid Sorokin, and freshman Georgina Larcher, who plays Kate Williams (Babe). Nich Anderson plays a supervisor, Andrea Reese a secretary, Willie Smith plays "The Prez" of the workers' labor union and Alicia Wright plays the secretary of the factory president. About the musical, Smith said, "It's a corny, campy musical that's really a lot of fun." In his first musical, he will be singing songs entitled "Her Is" and a duet with Larcher called "Seven and a Half Cents." Many people are contributing to make the Pajama Game a great show. Associate Professor Valerie Mcintosh is directing the musical. "She definitely has a vision for the level of excitement she wants in the show. She is very good at communicating that excitement," said Smith. To help out with dance moves, choreographer Rebecca Stewart is volunteerng her time. Sets for the musical are being constructed by Daniel Bunten, a Willamette alumni who works with the Portland Opera. Accompanying the singers is a musical orchestra for the pit, conducted by senior Jacqueline Sparks. Also, retired theater director Robert Putnam will be performing in a special guest appearance.

Phone Orders 370-7469 Sponsored by Mid-Oregon Aids Support Services Fastixx Service Charge May Apply By Brandy O'Bannon Staff Writer Willamette's theater department this semester, due to Artist in Residence Susan Coromel's contributions, has continued to improve its performance quality. Coromel, guest director for Waiting for the Parade, has a solid background in theater. She achieved her Bachelor of Arts degree in theater from the University of New Hampshire's undergraduate program. After college, she moved to New York City where she worked with the Riverside Shakespeare Company, stud studied ied in many New York film studios and landed several parts as extras on daytime soap operas. It soon became apparent to Coromel mat most of her colleagues had achieved a Master's degree. Thus, Coromel decided to return to school, Southern Methodist Uni University versity in Dallas, Texas, and subse subsequently quently earned a Masters in Fine Arts in theater. After graduate school, Coromel worked in Seattle. For the last three years she has taught at Boise State University in Boise, Idaho. Coromel was the vocal coach for Willamette's production of Women of Troy in 1993. Her con connection nection with Willamette is due to the influence of Rod Ceballos, as sociate professor of theatre and tech- nical director, with whom she worked in Idaho's Shakespeare Company. Ceballos invited Coromel back to Willamette to be an Artist in Residence for this semester. Besides directing Waiting for the Parade and playing the character Ranevskaya in the upcoming production of The Cherry Orchard, Coromel is teaching a Voice Movement and Audition Techniques class. So far, Coromel's experiences at Willamette have been very pleasant She describes her students as eager, bright, friendly and full of enthusiasm. Coromel, whaplayed the character Marta in a 1989 Idaho Shakespeare production of Waiting for the Parade, said she has enjoyed her role of director at Willamette. Although the two productions are very different, Coromel said that the small Willamette cast "worked very closely with each other." Coromel's production of Waiting for the Parade by John Murrell has not been immune to criticism. In recent articles in both the Collegian and the Statesman Journal, critics have given the play less than glowing reviews. -L set' - - -V--V Ac Susan Coromel While she does not necessarily agree with the Collegian 's review, Dan Hays' review in the February 26 edition of the Statesman Journal provoked a different result from Coromel. She said she felt that Hays' article was well-researched and thoughtful. His problem with the produc production, tion, Coromel noted , was that he did not like the play itsel f; he wanted the script to be something it is not. From this negative criticism, she said she felt the actors have learned valuable lessons. Coromel said that this is a good learning experience. Coromel said that Waiting for the Parade is simply about "finding ways to wait." It is a play about women written by a man, and it is very specifically set in Alberta, Canada. The play describes "how people get by and the choices they make" during times of crisis. Waiting for the Parade performances are sched scheduled uled for March 3 at 1 1 a.m. and 8 p.m., and March 5 at 2 p.m. Looking ahead, Coromel said she is excited to be a part of the last performance of the theater season here this year. Coromel, who will be playing a lead role in Anton Chekov's The Cherry Orchard, said that for her, it is an excellent oppor opportunity. tunity. In professional theater, she would have to wait at least ten years to play a role of this caliber. Coromel said that "Chekov is a real workout for the actor." At Willamette, Coromel will have an environment where she can explore, experiment and enjoy her role. She went on to say that the actors in this play need to realize, that any attempt at this play is a success, since it is extremely difficult. Chekov considered The Cherry Orchard, one of his last plays, to be a comedy . Coromel's character Ranevskaya is the owner of the orchard. She has lost most of her money and decides to return to her home to try to find some way to pay off the mortgage. However, once she returns home, she cannot make any decisions. A former serf who becomes a suc successful cessful businessman offers a solution, but Ranevskaya won't accept it. Coromel said the play concerns the "paralysis of the nobility." Performances will begin with a preview on April 20 and run through April 30. At this time, according to Coromel, her plans for next year are uncertain. However, she might return to teach in Boise. 7 - ill ; aoosfceoe.toubHT I" f WHPrTS THE WtLL ITS tCIMPOF I lOEiOT TO "THIS " 3 lOiuoesTTHinG l I embarrass eT-1 I Exotic toASQoteApe oHMbosnA I yoOVE Eve DO V I'LUWUlSPte'lT.- I BALL, AfOO...wHisrt 60 0W.

V i300?? 11 March 3, 1995 The Collegian Berneche fulfills some promises, reevaluates others by Tiffany Derville Contributor Since ASWU Secretary Brione Berneche has adopted numerous duties after being elected, she has upheld many goals and responsibilities while delaying others. Berneche highlights hermain contributions to ASWU as filling more committee positions than last year and distributing minutes in a timely manner. Appointing secretaries to the committees, keeping committee minutes in the office, and installing the fax machine lie toward the bottom of her list. Berneche'slatestprojectinvolves campaign reform. Berneche' s revisions will eliminate grey areas and tighten penalties for campaign viola tions in hopes that these revisions will avoid problems that have occured in previous years. Her future ambitions include assigning people to next year's committees this spring. One Senator, however, suggested that she can only suggest it to the next secretary because she gets one year to exercise her influence on the committee system. On November 3of last year, Berneche de defined fined her responsibilities in Senate. Her cam campaign paign platforms and responsibilities are listed below. Platform: Use e-mail as information method In the Works Senator Eric Tilton submitted Senate Bill 103-94 which creates an "ASWU On-line." The Bill mandates a freely accessible archive of proposals, legislation, and the ASWU constitu constitution. tion. In addition, it will post ASWU announce announcements ments and upcoming activities. Although Berneche has taken the first steps to establish the on-line, she comments that she has not "completely fallen through" with it. Berneche adds that not being a computer buff herself, she had underestimated the amount of work that it requires. Platform: Talk with people in the halls to get more people on committees Yes Although Berneche did not recruit in the halls herself, she delegated the "recruit-a-thon" to the Senate. Berneche provided incentives to the first Senator to recruit someone and the Senator who recruited the most students. Platform: Look into possibility of using Collegian space for ASWU Yes Berneche states that The Collegian has pro provided vided her with adequate space and has agreed to publish election rules in the spring. Platform: Appoint diverse people to com committees mittees such as EPC More or Less Berneche did not have less positions on EPC than applicants. Consequently, she did not select people, she either accepted them or did not. However, since committees such as Stan Standards dards of Conduct received more applicants, Berneche could select the most qualified and diverse members. Platform: Attend Hall Council meetings Not Yet Berneche says she has focused her energies on other priorities. Platform: Get minutes to Senators prior to Senate Yes According to Senator Mike Corella, Berneche has promptly sent minutes to Sena Senators, tors, sometimes, 2-3 days in advance. Secretary's Responsibilities as stated by Berneche: Appoint students to committees and boards More or Less Although positions remain open, more stu students dents have joined committees this year. Berneche believes that some students avoid getting involved with faculty committees be because cause they "view themselves as a token vote instead of as a voice." She hopes that moving the selection pro process cess to the spring will help change this mind set. With the present system, students get appointed to committees after they have already held meetings. There are positions that remain open: Aca Academic demic Affairs (1), Academic Council (1), Aca Academic demic Programs (1), Collegian Board (2), Edu Educational cational Programs Committee (1), Student Af Affairs fairs (2) Responsible for seeing that secretaries are appointed to all student government com committees mittees and that minutes are maintained in the student body office: Not Yet Berneche states, "minutes are not some something thing I did." She has concentrated her time on filling the committees. UBC has not appointed a secretary because the members have never met. According to Berneche, the committee did not come together until the end of last semester. UBC's duties consist of providing a list of prioritized student requests to the university budget administra administrators. tors. The Alumni Resources Committee also lacks a secretary because it has never met. Although Berneche states that she submitted a committee list to Alumni Director Jim Booth, he comments that he never received one. The responsibilities of the Alumni Resources Com Committee mittee include acting as a liaison between Alumni Relations and ASWU. Alumni Re Resources sources has been discussing the Senior party, Glee, career programs, and University Renova Renovations tions and would like student input. Although the Finance Board does not have an official secretary, Treasurer Kate Kenski records their business. Maintain computers, printers, fax machine, copiers, telephones, typewriters, and video equipment In the Works Berneche has overseen all of the equipment with the exception of the fax machine. Berneche states, "No where in the by-laws does it say that the secretary must do it. By default, I got put in charge of it." Represent overall student concerns in Sen Senate ate and to the administration: Yes Although Berneche has not met with Presi President dent Hudson this semester, she and the other ASWU officers met with Hudson a couple times last semester. .ill.. 4 I W J0rV'5 JgAlOJS Of UF lM HE'LL AK8AR ANP7ZFF.

Christopher Parkening played four pieces with the Oregon Sym Symphony phony as part of their "Salem Se Series," ries," according to Karrie Kikel, Public Relations Director for the Oregon Symphony. Parkening has dazzled audiences around the globe with his concerts for the last twenty-five years. He has played everywhere from New York City to Tokyo. The Washington Post has recog recognized nized "his stature as the leading gui guitar tar virtuoso of our day, combining profound musical insight with com complete plete technical mastery of his instru instrument." ment." Even though very few Willamette students were in attendence, the concert did not go unnoticed by the greater Salem com community. munity. The concert was attended by memb rsofthe state legislature, who were given autographed copies of Parkening' s most recently released album, "Christopher Parkening plays Vivaldi, Warlock and Praetorius." The first two pieces that Parkening played with the symphony were also the first two pieces on his album. The first was Guitar Concerto in D Major, by Antonio Vivaldi. The second was Capriol( Suite forGuitar and String Orchestra) by Peter War Warlock. lock. Parkening played in one of the ten performances by the Oregon Symphony that the "Salem Series" consists of. "Some of the perfor performances mances are pops and some of them are classical," Kikel said. "We were able to include him in one that fit with our classical theme," he said. Along with the members of the legislature, the concert was attended by a large number of senior citizens and only a handful of Willamette students. Freshman Ben Jackson, one of the few that did attend, commented on the performance afterward. "Parkening was brilliant. His style and technical skill was incredible. "I was actually surprised that there were not more students there," Jackson said. "It is such a great deal." Ticket prices for most concert concert-goers goers are anywhere from $ 1 5 to $22, but Willamette students paid only a dollar for any remaining seat in the house after the others had been ad admitted. mitted.

The 2 12-hour trial, held as a fund-raiser for the law review publication at the Monterey Col College lege of Law, drew 200 people who alternately giggled, gasped and ultimately answered yes to the question, "Is Elvis alive?" The official line is that Presley died of cardiac arrhythmia in a bathroom of his Graceland mansion in Memphis, Tenn., on Aug. 16, 1977.

Two security guards have been hired to supplement Campus Safety's patrolling of the TIUA campus, according to O'Brien. The security guards' duties are similar to that of Campus Safety. Theirpurpose, according to O'Brien, is "to support Campus Safety and to extend the time the services are avail available." able." The hours that the building is accessible to the general student body have also been shortened.

"It may inconvenience some students who like to come into the building after 8:00," said Torihara, "but for right now we are asking for students to have patience." The administrations of both universities have also been in contact with hall residents, through memos and hall meetings. The purpose of the hall meetings has been to "allay fears, provide information and answer questions" about the issue, according to O'Brien. At the first meeting, held on last Thursday at 9 p.m., all Kaneko residents discussed safety issues and asked questions of Associate Direc Director tor of Residence Life Marilyn Derby, Director of Student Affairs for TIUA Marty White, Vice President for Student Affairs Stuart Tennant and Campus Safety Director Ross Stout. Concerned TIUA students met at 3:15 p.m. on February 22. The Associated Students of TIUA also held a meeting at 9 a.m. on Wednesday morning. Kaneko Resident Director Kelly Harrington also organized a meet meeting ing between women who live on the second floor, where the latest fire happened, and Stout, Dean of Residence Life Rich Shintaku, Resident Assistant Shirley Thomas and Karen Creswell of the Counsel Counseling ing Center. The meeting was "something I saw a need for and the RA's saw a need for," said Harrington. Torihara, Resident Director Kelly Harrington and other administrators met with nearly all of the TIUA students at 9 a.m. in the TIUA auditorium on Thursday and explained what had happened, the changes in the card locks and evacu evacuation ation procedures in Japanese.

After reaching the championship game of the Northwest Conference Tourna Tournament ment last weekend, the Bearcats ,-were denied an at-large bid to next week's national tournamentat West Western ern Oregon State College. "The season's over, we're done," said Head Coach Paula Petrie, who lead Willamette to it's best winning percentage in school history in only her first season. "It's sad for Willamette University." In reaching the conference tournament's championship game, the Bearcats squeaked out an over overtime time victory over Lewis & Clark. Willamette almost lost the game, Mintil sophomore guard Stacey Kruger downed a 3-pointer with only 16 seconds left in regulation, tying the game at 67 and sending it into overtime. The Bearcat's chances looked bleak again in overtime, as Lewis & Clark scored the first six points. Then senior guard Carolyn Leary and junior center Saran Patillo took over the game, combining to score the next seven points of the game. The final two points of the 7-0 run came when Leary found Patillo un under der the hoop for the game winning lay-up as time expired. Leary lead Willamette with 22 points and six assists. Patillo added 11 points and 13 rebounds, while junior guard Amy Ulrey and sopho sophomore more center Jenny Joseph chipped in 1 1 and ten points respectively. The Bearcat's last second vic victory tory propelled them into the cham championship pionship game against No. 1 seed and host Whitworth. Willamette had lost both of their games with Whitworth earlier in the season, and would have to beat them two straight times to earn the conference's automatic bid to the national tournament. Whitworth came out on fire in the first half of the championship game, hitting 60 percent of their shots in taking a 38-30 half-lime lead. The Bearcats roared back at the beginning of the second half. After two free throws by junior forward Margaret Weber, Whitworth's lead was down to only two points with 15:27 left in the half. Two points would be as close as the Bearcats could get, as Whitworth went on a 15-6 run, pretty much putting the game out of reach for Willamette. I .eary lead Willamette with 13 points and 9 re- bounds. Patillo added 13 points and 10 boards, while junior Amy Ulrey chipped in 1 1 points. Whitworth came away with a 75-66 win, and an automatic berth in the national tournament, while the Bearcats were forced to wait until the brackets were released yes yesterday, terday, to see if they would be a part of the national tournament or spec spectators tators in the stands. Word reached Petrie just before noon, and the news wasn't good. "W e got no respect all season." Paula Petrie Willamette had been overlooked as an at-large bid, bringing to an end the most successful season in school history. "We had an opportunity to get the automatic one and we didn' t get that one," said Petrie, trying to put the season's disappointing end into perspective. The Bearcats were passed over, based on their ranking in the na national tional poll, which was their highest in school history, at No. 22. The nine national at-large bids are given starting at the top of the poll to the teams who had not receive auto automatic matic bids already. Un- fortunately for the Bearcats, the bids ran out before they reached their spot in the poll. The national polls hadn't been kind to the Bearcats all season long, and this time the case was no differ different. ent. Although Willamette broke into the top 25 for the first time ever, they had little mobility, despite win winning ning 15 of their last 17 games. One of Willamette's wins dur during ing their run came over Western Oregon, who the following week by- passed the Bearcats in the poll, despite losing to Willamette and George Fox. The whole situation left Petrie very frustrated. "We got no respect all season," she said in reference to the national polls. Although the season's end is a major disappointment for Petrie and her team, she felt that the biggest tragedy was the abrupt end to the collegiate basketball career of Leary, the team's lone senior. She did a stellar job of leading the Bearcats the entire season, and her efforts were a large part of the rea reason son for the Bearcat's success this year. "It's sad that Carolyn won't be able to show her talents at a national tournament," said Petrie, of her point guard who was only one game away from setting the all all-time time assists record at Willamette. Despite the disappointment that the Bearcat's are currently experi experiencing, encing, all signs point to another excellent season next year. Petrie will have four of her five starters returning, as well as three other players who averaged over 12 min minutes utes per game. With all that fire firepower power returning next season, the Bearcats will try to earn a ticket to the national tournament, instead of having to buy one.

Junior shortstop Kevin Edelbrock (above) tries to avoid being tagged out at home by the University of Portland catcher. by Jennifer Miller Editor It seems as though the Willamette men's baseball team (3-3) has been on a teeter-totter " so far this season. They've gone back and forth from win to loss without fail. The team returned to .500 with a 9-4 loss to University of Portland on Wednesday. Senior pitcher Geoff Huetten picked up his second pitching loss in the game at Portland. iSophomore Abe Cohen came in during the fifth, but faired no better, giving up two home runs in one inning. "I think it was a combination of walks and errors," said Senior Pitcher Kyle Bell, who is red shirting this year becuase of a shoulder injury. "I don't think we came ready to play, &and the weather hindered us a litle bit. Giving up two home runs didn't help either." Willamette comitted a handful of errors, and walked seven battersin the game. They also had two men picked off. Willamette was held scoreless until sopho sophomore more catcher Ryan Flynn mashed a home run in the top of the seventh inning to put the Bearcats on the scoreboard. The Bearcats split two double-headers last weekend. Saturday, the Bearcats lost their first game to George Fox College, 9-4, but came back to pick up the second game, 7- Sunday showed similar results, with a 2 2-1 1 win over Eastern Oregon College and a tough loss to reigning Pac-10 North Confer Conference ence Champion Oregon State University , 1 0 0-6. 6. Huetten was also the starting pitcher for t:he Bearcats in the first game against George Fox. After hitting two batters, walking two others, and a making a throwing error, Huetten finally got out of the inning with junior Joe Belcher's double play. Willamette finally got on the scoreboard in the top of third, when Kevin Edelbrock had lead off double. Sophomore catcher Jason Kelly then hi t a double of his own, scoring Edelbrock from second. The Bearcat's run brought them within two runs, until the bottom of the fifth, when Huetten gave up three runs, including a solo ' Tiome run. i rj 1 V ; e r ! c Senior Neil Fera's sixth inning single scored Cohen, cutting George Fox's lead to 6-3. Willamette then gave up three more runs in the next inning, as George Fox came away with a 9-3 victory. Willamette came back scraping in the second half of the double header, as Cohen picked up the 7-3 victory, his second of the season. George Fox threatened in the bottom of the eighth inning, when they scored two runs. Willamette was able to counter with two runs of their own in the top of the ninth, pushing their lead to 7-4. Junior Tony Matteson came on to pitch a scoreless ninth inning and earn the save. Willamette got off to a good start in their game against Eastern on Sunday. Freshman pitcher Matt Kosderka got off to a smooth start in his first college game, giving up one run on three hits in six innings. The Bearcat's first run came in the bot bottom tom of the second, when after doubling, junior shortstop Kevin Edelbrock scored on senior center fielder Kelly Evan's single to Ieftcenter. They added another run in the third, when junior third baseman Jay Lindermann drew a bases loaded walk. Matteson came on to relieve Kosderka in the seventh, throwing three shutout innings in picking up his third save of the season and securing the Bearcats 2-1 win. The Bearcat's second game of the day, against OSU, did not start off quite as well. OSU pounded out six runs in the bottom of the first off sophomore Jerry Bushman. The Bearcats remained scoreless until junior first baseman Sam Holloway's two two-run run homer over the right field fence. Willamette closed in on OSU late in the game, but were unable to overcome their early deficit, losing 10-6. "Basically the first inning killed us be because cause we were down 6-0," said Kelly. " It was 6-4 for the rest of the game. If we would have come out ready to play, it would have been a different story. If we would have come out ready to hit, it would have been a different story. Everyone was a little bit intimidated, thinking we're playing Oregon State, a big D-I school." Willamette now has more than a week before they play their next game against Concordia College on March 1 1. The 1 p.m. contest will be the first home game for the Bearcats, who only have 1 1 of their 39 games on their home field. The following week, the Bearcats will make their annual spring break trip to Cali California. fornia. They are scheduled to play six games in the San Francisco area, before returning home to open the conference season against Pacific on March 25 and 26.

After the season open opening ing Western Oregon Invitational, the team will travel to Hawaii for ten games over spring break. Head Coach Dave Just begins his fifth season with the Bearcats and will have one of the youngest teams yet.

Throwing to Kauffman, will be a combination of two freshman. Right -hander Karie Van Curler and left-handed Brook Johnson will take up the majority of the innings on the mound.

Joining her in the infield will be junior third baseman Jen Wantland and junior utility Kristi Heryford. Filling a major hole at shortstop will be freshman Cristal Sanders. She will try to improve on the more than 30 errors that were committed at that position last season. V Crew Teams paddle by Christy Gardner Contributor The crew team has been taking the word "training" to new heights lately. With a brutal regime of two-a-days and hour long stints on the ergometer, they are preparing for a season that will pit them against some of the best rowers in the North Northwest. west. The varsity teams wakes up for 5:30 a.m. practices on a lake, then try to conserve energy the rest of the day for afternoon land workouts. The novice team meeets in the af afternoons, ternoons, and practices at intense levels as well. Most of the team started their conditioning in September, and have been working for the past seven months for a season that will start on April first, when the team goes up to Seattle to row in the Husky Invitational. "We started with the twice-a-day workouts about two weeks ago," said Sophomore Tobias Read "We do tech work in the mornings and row on the erg in the afternoons. Next week we'll move to the river, and start getting up at 5, instead of 5:30. Then we'll be able to get some cardio-vascular work done in 4. Returning sophomore pitcher Amy Anchoring down the Bearcat outfield will be senior left fielder Tara Sosnoski. Next to her, in cen center ter field, will be freshman Heather Adams. Freshman Sara Kane is scheduled to take over right field, while sophomore outfielder Casey Redfield is also expected to see plenty of action. Although a good piece of Willamette's starting line-up may be youthful and inexperienced, they will not be lacking talent. An example would be Adams, who went through two rounds of the Olympic trials this summer. into season the mornings, rowing against the current." On Tuesdays and Thursdays, the mens' team spends an hour row rowing ing on the ergometer machine in the afternoon. The members of the team have dubbed this the "hour of power." The women's team has been training just as hard, and just as long. "It's been a really long sea season," son," said novice Freshman Cristen Cordis. She said the team gets through by maintaining a sense of humor about their work. "Everyone makes jokes and has a good time. But when we get in the boat, every everyone one gets serious and gets things done." The coxswains have also been logging in long hours lately. Last weekend, coxswains Sara Boylan, Tiffany Ellis, Hilary Bayly and Gina Devincenzi, along with Coach Cindy Cavanaugh, attended a full full-day day workshop in Seattle. Betsy Board, the winner of the Olymmpic Gold medal in 1988, held aclinic on voice training, calling, steering, re regatta gatta tactics and overall aggressive aggressiveness. ness.

The Bearcats lost 3-6 in a match that was played without their num number ber one player, senior Eric Norland, or their number four player, fresh freshman man Jon Eames. "I think that if we would of had a full team we could have done a lot better," said sopho sophomore more Mark Dedrich. "Everyone had to play up a spot in a position that they weren't used to."

"Dedrich played very well," Head Coach Russ Beaton said. "He just played a great match." Although a couple of people had terrific performances, for the most part the team felt that they could have done better. "I don't think we played great," Beaton said. "There were quite a few matches Willamette's Athlete of the Week Basketball: Carolyn Leary Seniors, Coquille, Oregon Everybody knows that a basketball team can not run smoothly without a good point guard. Willamette's Carolyn Leary has been one of the smoothest point guards in the conference, leading the Bearcat women to a share of the Northwest Conference Champion Championship ship this season. Leary, the team's only senior has not only run the show for the Bearcats, she has also been a major steadying force when assists per game. Leary also did her share on the offensive end when her team needed her to, averaging 9.6 points per game. The speedy Leary, who is also a sprinter on Willamette's track team, was even more impressive in Northwest Conference games. In conference play, she averaged 10.6 points, 5.6 assists, 2.1 steals, and 3.8 rebounds. Because the Bearcats were passed over for the national tourna tournament, ment, Leary was left one game short of the Willamette all-time assists record. where we would lose a tight first set and then just get wiped in the' second one. "We have some guys that are still struggling with their game and we have some nagging injuries," said Beaton. By playing a number of divi- sion one opponents, the team is'w finding out what they really need to work on to improve themselves once they begin playing confer conference ence matches. "It was a good expe experience rience because we realized what we need to do in order to up our games to another level," said fresh freshman man Ben Jackson. The women' s team, meanwhile, is going through much of the same thing. They lost 0-9 to the Univer University sity of Oregon on Tuesday. "I think that it was a really good learning K experience for us," Head Coach Molly Sigado said. "We had quite a few matches that the scores didn' t explain how well we played." The women played the Univer University sity of Puget Sound last Saturday and lost 1-8. The only winner for i the Bearcats was freshman Katie Snider, who won at the number five singles spot 4-6 7-6 7-6. "We did alright at UPS," Snider said. "Everyone thought they could of done better, but they were defi definitely nitely the better team." Willamette had their chances, losing three matches that went down to a third set. "Once we get a little more experience I think we will be able to beat them," Sigado said. times have been tough. She was on the floor more than any other player this season, be because cause without her, the Bearcats were not same team. Two major responsibilities of a point guard are to rack up assists, and be an anchor at the defensive end of the court. Leary did both of these things well this season, leading the Bearcats in steals with 47, while dishing out an average of 4.6 Sports 15 March 3, 1995 Jlje Collegian V Men's Basketball Men go to nationals for third straight year I'm thoroughly disgusted. And for once, it is not Willamette University that I have a problem with. It's Lewis & Clark. Never have I left a basketball game so utterly turned off to the sport. I didn't get this feeling because of technical fouls or too-close defense or missed 3-pointers, I got this feeling because of the immature attitude displayed by the majority of Lewis & Clark students and even some alumni at last Saturday's NCIC conference playoff in Portland. There is an adage which says, "It's not whether you win or lose, but how you play the game." In this respect, Willamette won last Saturday's game against Lewis & Clark in every possible way. With tasteful, short cheers led by John Rodgers, and a supportive but not overly obnoxious student body wearing a wide array of Bearcat garb, Willamette University students and alumni came out smelling like roses. Lewis & Clark, on the other hand, smelled like a mixture of three day old puke and dirty socks. And they didn't look much better, with drunken chauvinists dressed in smelly shirts that proclaimed the virtues of Keystone beer leading the cheers. Several incidents occurred with Willamette students which give cause for concern. Two alumni and several Lewis & Clark students harassed Willamette fans on the sidelines. Sophomore Casey Simms was verbally harassed by several intoxicated Lewis & Clark fans. "They came up to me and said, 'We are going to beat you, how does it feel?'," Simms said. Sophomore Marie Kauffman has also harassed. Her harassment ended in apunch being thrown in herdirection. "It has turned into this huge deal," said Kauffman. "Both they athletic directors are getting into it. One of the security guards called my mom last night. One of them called me." Kauffman said that they student had been aiming at Rodgers. She was hit in the face with an elbow. Then there were those two other guys who ran into the Willamette cheering section and tried to start a fight. When they were done harassing students, they retreated to the alumni section of the gym and sat dov n iicsit to their incredibly embarrassed children. Worst of all was the altercation involving Senior Alan Heinly and Sophomore Emily Randall. Foul remarks were made in Randall's direction because she separated Heinly from several rambunctious Lewis & Clark students. They called her a "dyke" "bitch" and "whore", adding that "She's one of those Willamette sluts," and mentioned other things that you can't talk about in a family newspa newspaper per like the Collegian. In the face of these insults, Willamette students controlled themselves remarkably well, and should be applauded for acting like mature representatives of their university. In sharp contrast, their Lewis & Clark counterparts spent the entire game acting like a pack of high school imbeciles who wandered in off the street. The certainly don't belong at a school with a reputation as good as Lewis '& Clark. More than anything, the Willamette students in attendance ex expressed pressed embarrassment for having to witness the Lewis & Clark orgy of immaturity. "I know many Lewis & Clark students aren't like the ones that got all the attention at the game. But you'd never know it from what we saw on Saturday," said Junior Jamie Peters. "If I actually Actually, the best indicator of how these students weren't repre representative sentative of the Lewis & Clark student body was the fact that there were so few fans at the game. They filled about half of one side of the gym. It was pretty pathetic. A funny thing came about as a result of the game: the Bearcats still made it into the national tournament.

After los losing ing to Lewis & Clark in the cham championship pionship game of the Northwest Conference playoffs, the Bearcats had to wait until yesterday to dis discover cover their destiny. In the end, Willamette was awarded an at-large bid to the national tournament in Nampa, Idaho. The Bearcats fell upon hard times last Saturday, in their lost to Lewis & Clark in Portland. Despite solid efforts by the Willamette play players, ers, Lewis & Clark's 3-point shoot shooting ing and tough defense lead to yet another down to the buzzer game, with Willamette emerging as the loser, 79-71. The game, played before a hos hostile tile crowd, saw both teams play vicious defense, holding either team's lead to only two to five points, until the end of the second half. Lewis & Clark started the game out on top early, before Willamette came back to tie the game at 23 a piece with four minutes left. Lewis & Clark the'n built a five point lead with only a minute left in the half, before two baskets by senior wing Jason Thompson tied the score at 29-29 at the half.

Senior guard Dave Snyder gave Willamette it's second lead in the half at 56-54, after he knocked down his second consecutive 3-pointer. From that point on, it was Lewis & Clark's freshmen Rick Gonzales and senior superstar Dinari Fore Foreman man that allowed them to pull away from the Bearcats. Foreman, who scorched the Bearcats for 35 points a month ago, scored 22 points, while Gonzales drained 3-pointers, giving the Bearcats more than they could handle in the second half. It seemed that for every basket or free throw Willamette made, Lewis & Clark answered with a 3 3-pointer. pointer. They hit seven 3-pointers in the second half alone, creating an unmanageable deficit for Willamette, a team that isn't used to hitting more that a half dozen 3 3-pointers pointers a game, much less in one half. Willamette was seven of 22 from the long range, while Lewis & Clark drained 11 of their 24 at attempts tempts from behind the arc. Thompson had probably his best performance of the season despite sitting out part of the second half with a groin pull. He lead the Bearcats with 22 points and eight rebounds. Snyder had 1 6 points to go along with his eight assists, while junior forward scored 1 3 points and pulled down eight rebounds.

The Bearcats, by reaching the conference finals and winning a share of the conference champion championship, ship, had another impressive sea season son this year. Strangely enough, it may have been what they have done in the past that earned the team an at-large bid this season. Willamette won the NAIA Di Division vision II National Championships two years ago, and they reached the quarterfinals of the national tournament last season. Regardless of how they earned the at-large bid, the Bearcats will be returning to Idaho to try and come away with their second na national tional championship title in the last three years. Their path to the title starts with the tournament's No. 13 seed, Mt. Vernon Nazarene (Ohio), who enter the tournament with a 22-9 record and a No. 9 national ranking.

International Peer Counselors Mike Stanley, Kelly Golden, Jen Reinke and JeanetteCamarillo spoke next. Reinke began by reading Martin Luther King, Jr.'s address to the National Urban League. Reinke also noted that the group was not only speaking as IPCs but also as individuals who had studied abroad. "Our best experiences were when we were treated as people and not as things," said Reinke. Dean of Residence Life Rich Shintaku was then accidentally in introduced troduced as the next speaker. Shintaku joined the actual speaker, Assistant Professor of Education Rich Biffle, at the microphone. Shintaku spoke briefly on the need for cooperation. "There are ways in which we can build alli alliances," ances," he said, before turning the microphone over to Biffle. "I'msorry Rich, we all look alike," quipped Biffle. . He then spoke about his disap disappointment pointment at the turnout for the event.

Another question, included on the survey, used open and closed question formats to ask students what motivated administrators' policy decisions. The open question specifically asked, "What do you think moti motivates vates Willamette administrators in their policies that directly affect the student body?" In the open format, 37.9 per percent cent of students responded that ad administrators' ministrators' policy decisions were motivated by money.

Other ideas include teaching a course entitled "Writers in the World" which according to Stafford, "explores the role of writing in a life of work and social conscience." Stu Students dents would act as interns and ex explorers plorers within the community and discover how a writer fits into a certain area of Salem. He also hopes to teach courses in Oregon literature and folklore. Oregon is Stafford's "Eden." He is a native Oregonian and, although he has lived in Alaska, Indiana and Paris, he keeps returning to Oregon. He said he is a patriot of nature and finds that Oregon provides him with a plenitude of venues to write. He attended the University of Oregon for 1 2 years and, in his words, "they finally kicked me out in 1979 with a Ph.D. in Medieval Litera Literature." ture." Stafford's father also taught at Lewis and Clark and in a sense Stafford grew up on the campus. He he continued. Biffle also spoke about the stu students dents who had left the library for the fire alarm. "As soon as (the library) was opened, they went back in, like it was no big thing," said Biffle. "When does it become a big thing?" He also challenged the perpetra perpetrators tors of the vandalism at Kaneko. "If you've got the guts to do it at night, then do it at twelve noon when I'm standing right in front of you," said Biffle. He ended by challenging the audience to be a "part of real solu solutions tions and not a part of the problem." Jolene Yee, President of the Asian Association, then spoke about the need for people to admit their ignorance. "How many of us can say we are truly innocent?" said Yee. She also referred to individual solu solutions tions brought up by students at the Listen Up forum on campus racism held in the Hatfield Room Monday night. "We're not all going to be like Martin Luther King. . . but we can take action on our own," said Yee. Her recommendation was forpeople to be unafraid to ask questions and be curious about other ethnicities. Dyan Watson, President of the Black Student Organization, spoke of her fears about the recent acts of vandalism. "It's a darn shame that all our administration and all of our faculty Meanwhile, 20.7 percent of stu students dents responded that "job security and liability issues" motivated ad administrators, ministrators, 17.2 percent answered "school image and reputation" was a factor, and only 1 0.3 percent indi indicated cated that administrators were mo motivated tivated by "student i nterests or con concerns." cerns."

She then noted that recent incidences of overt racism on campus have caused her to be afraid for the first time in her four years at Willamette. "You don't have to love me . . . you've got to respect me," said Watson. At the very least, said Watson, people should "respect that I'm pay paying ing $20,000" a year to attend Willamette.

Although the proposition was fictitious, around 39 percent of re respondents spondents gave an opinion. Eighty percent of those who gave an opinion were opposed to the fictitious proposition.

"I refuse to dignify those kinds of words," said Tennant. Sophomore Jamel Smith and ASWU Secretary Brione Berneche also spoke. Chris Rogers, who works with the Office of Admissions, had mixed feelings about the rally, his second at Willamette.
