I ' Historic tuition guarantee unveiled by Ryan Teague Beckwith Editor Freshmen entering Willamette next fall will be able to count on more than just the tjning commons food remaining the same over the next four years - President Jerry Hudson unveiled a student-inspired plan Wednesday to guarantee a fixed tuition rate throughout students' careers. "Most of the time students who are re receiving ceiving financial aid get locked in with a financial aid package that's based on a cer certain tain tuition charge, and when tuition goes up, their financial aid stays the same," said Hudson, noting that the Tuition Guarantee Plan will "take the uncertainty of planning out of the considerations for students and their families." " Willamette's Tuition Guarantee Plan is the first of its kind, breaking ground as the only U.S. college to offer students a set tu tuition ition amount over the course of their educa education. tion. The only similar program currently in existence in the United States was started last year at Drake University in Des Moines, Iowa. Drake's Guaranteed Cost Plan differs, however, because it only guarantees that tu tuition ition will increase by . a fixed percent each year, whereas Willamette's plan ensures that there will be no increase. Drake's plan also includes room and board and takes into ac account count any merit-based financial aid the stu student dent is receiving, while Willamette's pro program gram deals strictly with the tuition rate. Members of the student group the Willamette Student Lobby (WSL) presented Hudson with a petition in September which recommended the university pledge that "tu "tuition ition will not be increased greater than eight percent" over any four year period. Junior D'mitri Palmateer, member of the WSL, said that the petition, which was signed by over 600 students, was necessary because "the institutions that exist in our student govern government ment weren't adequate enough to voice the true opinions of the student body." After Hudson presented the tuition freeze idea to the Financial Affairs Committee in early October, Vice President of Financial Affairs Brian Hardin noted, "It's something this particular committee has talked about in previous meetings in broad, general terms. We've actually been using this idea, but with a somewhat softer approach. It's been much less radical." Students can count on the same tuition for up to five years, although over 70 percent only need it for four. Approximately 5 per percent cent take an additional semester or year to finish, mostly due to complications arising from changing majors, health problems or taking a semester off in order to volunteer, work or travel.

"Probably the only thing that has gone up more in that same period is health care costs," said Hudson, noting that increased health care costs contribute to college ex ex-Please Please see TUITION on page 16 Miller show on track by Sarah Rose Zollner Editor The ASWU programming board's biggest project of the year is running on track, as ticket sales approach.

English receives $1 million endowment by Dan Metz Editor The English department recendy received a pair of endowments to totaling taling $2 million. The two endow endowments ments are such that they will work in concert with one another to revi revitalize talize writing as a focus of the Uni University versity for all students, not just En English glish majors. The endowments will strengthen all the degree programs and bring in special talent to the English department in the form of an accomplished writer. The endowment to boost writ writing ing on campus in all areas of study comes from Bill and Kay Long, who originally donated shares of Compuware Corporation stock to improve McCulloch Stadium. Compuware went public, send sending ing its stock value through the roof, and expanding the size of the dona donation tion from $ 1 million to an estimated $4.35 million. This extra money will create a spill over effect in other departments and programs. For the English department, this has meant the creation of the Willamette University Endowed Writing Program, ear-marked for $1 million. This program, inspired by the National Writing Program, will improve the teaching of writing skills across the University by of offering fering extensive training seminars and summer workshops on how to teach writing better for faculty in the various departments. The new program hopes "to re replace place the notion of writing as a proficiency in written communica communication tion that is acquired once and for all with the notion of a writing culture involving all Willamette faculty and students," as outlined in the project proposal. The program will emphasize writing, not just in the freshman year, but in all four years of a student's undergraduate career. Evaluation of a student's work is suggested to be through the con concept cept of a portfolio compiled over the four years, in conjunction with the grades earned through course work. The portfolio would be made available to the student, to writing consultants in the proposed Writing Center, to advisors and to class classroom room faculty. The new Writing Center will provide opportunities for students at all grade levels to confer indi individually vidually with fac- ulty and peer con consultants sultants about their course writ writing. ing. The center will be a resource for all students and faculty seek seeking ing assistance with any difficul ties encountered in the writing process, or critiques of their works-in-progress. Finally, the Writing Center will also act as a support for student publications such as The Jason, and it could serve as the home for any student and faculty writing groups. "I think this program will be very rewarding. It will increase the quality of writing across the board, enabling greater student support, and furthering faculty develop development," ment," commented Carol Long, pro professor fessor of English and co-writer of the proposed writing program. "It can only be seen in a positive light," she added. "To be a student at Willamette is to engage in writing. A writing culture is an integral part of learn learning ing in all fields and areas of study. The ability to write and think is extremely important not just for English majors, but for everyone," Braden commented. "This is a big and wonderful change for the students, and an exciting oppor opportunity tunity for the University," he concluded. The imple implementation mentation of these endowed changes are scheduled to be- gin in the fall of 1995, with the adoption of the Writ Writing ing Program, course additions, and hiring of the new endowed chair. Anyone interested in reviewing the proposed writing program in its entirety should talk to Carol Long, or consult the Willamette Univer University sity Gopher Server under the En English glish Department.

In the early weeks of 1994 these supposed early-warning signals, which range from the serious to the frankly fanciful, gave no warning of the trouble to come in both the bond and stock markets. So their credibility, even just as conversation pieces, has lost some of its edge. Take for instance the Janu January ary barometer, which is based on the proposition that the stock market's action in January fore foreshadows shadows what it is likely to do for the year as a whole. Last January Standard & Poor's 500-stock composite in index dex rose 3.3 percent, hitting record highs in the last trading session of the month and again in the early days of February. But by Dec. 31, the index, which is widely used as a yard yardstick stick of investment performance, showed a net loss for the year of 1.54 percent. If you measure just from the start of February - when the Janu January ary "prediction" first became known - through the end of De December, cember, the 500 posted a larger not yet in average of 28 years, compared with 10 for rank and file members of the House.

Despite the upheaval that put Republicans in control of Congress, the re-election rate for incumbents on Nov. 8 was over 91 percent, in line with the average of the past decade.

After 10 years in the House and one term in the Senate, he does not intend to seek re-elec Education an issue SALEM, Ore. - Education will be a major issue, on two fronts, on the Oregon Legislature's agenda for the coming week.

In his Stock Trader's Alma Almanac, nac, investment adviser Yale Hirsch says it made a correct call 39 times over the 44 years from 1950 to 1993. Furthermore, analysts like Hirsch say, the predictive value of January has some basis in logic, given that formative events such as the convening of Con Congress gress and the Presidents State of the Union message regularly occur in that month. "Most of these, studies are well regarded, but some have problems," says John Bollinger, publisher of the Capital Growth Letter advisory in Manhattan Beach, Cal. "The main problem with some of the published studies is that the forecast is derived from January and then applied to the whole year, which includes Janu January ary again. This is a bit like the snake having a snack on its own tail." Going back to 1901, Bollinger says, the stock market posted Fcbruary-to-December gains 69 percent of the time fol following lowing positive Januarys.

A term limit amendment is part of the House Republican Contract0 with America, promising action by mid-April. They will offer two ver versions, sions, one that would set a 12-year ceiling for all of Congress, another that would hold House members to three terms, or six years. Speaker Newt Gingrich favors the higher limit, which irks leaders of the movement who want six years to be tops in the House. That is the limit set by 1 5 .of the states that have adopted them. Gingrich is in his 1 7th year in the House, but has said the issue shouldn't bejudged on the " basis of individual tenure while no such ceilings have been in place. He is subject to an eight-year limit as speaker, but that may prove to be largely symbolic. Only four speakers ever have held the post that long or longer in consecutive Congresses.

Compiled from CoUegian wire services News 3 January 27, 1995 The Collegian Emotional Rape Awareness Week to educate campus by Erik Holm Editor It starts with a wall, which is itself a way of admitting vulnerabil vulnerability ity at Willamette. All next week, every person who passes through Jackson Plaza will see the Wall of Awareness, areminder that January 28 to February 4 is Rape Awareness Week. Anyone who walks by is invited to stop for a minute to add their thoughts on sexual assault to the board. And just like last year's much discussed wall, there will prob probably ably be several jokes and caustic com comments ments scattered among the serious thoughts on the wall. Rape Awareness Week coordi coordinator nator Andria Cronick is ready for the comments that don't take rape very seriously. "If people do write bad things," she said, "that's all the more reason to talk about it. That's what it's up there for. Half of the goal of the week is to educate, and the other half is to get feedback and learn what needs improving." In their quest to educate, Cronick and the other members of Students Against Rape Together (StART) have organized several programs to raise the collective awareness of the Willamette community of the issues surrounding rape. The week stalls Saturday with a self defense workshop conducted by Salem resident Linda Davlin from 1 to 4 p.m. in the Sparks Multipurpose room. Also, the movie The Accused will be shown in the Mathews Hall Basement that night at 8 p.m. On Monday, January 30, Cammie Hering of the Portland Women's Cri Crisis sis Center will lead a discussion of surviving sexual assault on a college campus in Cone Chapel. Afterwards, there will be a candle light march and a speak out in Jackson Plaza, where participants will be invited to share their thoughts on sexual assault and respond to the comments on the wall. The Men's Forum will be held on Thursday from 1 1:30 to 12:20 in the Goudy Wilson Room. Cronick said she felt this was one of the most importanteventsoftheweek. "StART was formed by two men," she said. "We've always had the motivation since the beginning to have men's voices. It's important for women to have their own voice, but... this week is not meant to be an attack on men. Participants in last year's Take Back They need to be able to articulate their feelings without being judged." However, Cronick realizes that the people who most need an educa education tion in rape awareness will not attend the seminars.

Gilchrist mesmerizes Atkinson crowd Some RA positions to be changed The American Book Award winner read one of her short stories and answered questions for the second Atkinson lecture of the year. by Ryan Teague Beckwith Editor With the wit and flair of a character from one of her three novels and numerous short stories, former National Public Radio com commentator mentator and award-winning author Ellen rilchrist read her short stury "The Famous Poll at Jody's Bar" and answered questions for the second Atkinson lecture of the year on Monday. Gilchrist, whose short story collection Victory Over Japan won the 1984 American Book Award, began her writing career at age '14 with a weekly column for her town news newspaper, paper, called "Chit and Chat About This and That." After studying poetry and creative writing with literary giant Eudora Welty at age 25, Gilchrist postponed her writing career to raise her family. Although Gilchrist says that she was "too Jumb to learn anything" from her class with Welty, she began writing again in 1979, win winning ning both the New York Quarterly Craft in Poetry Award and a Grant in Fiction from the National Endowment of the Arts in that year. Two years later, Gilchrist published In the Land of Dreamy Dreams, her first collection of short stories. During a pre-lecture dinner with faculty and administrators, Gilchrist la lamented mented that Dreamy Dreams is her "most beautiful book" because she feels that only her soon-to-be-published book of short sto stories ries lives up to the potential shown by her first collection. "I've never been really satisfied with any anything thing I've written," said Gilchrist during the pre-lecture dinner. However, she told the group that she feels her next collection, The Age of Miracles, is her best work yet. "From the beginning of this book to the end, I've been in ta state of grace." Before reading "The Famous Poll at Jody's Bar," Gilchrist explained the history of main ' character Nora Jane Whittington, "a self-taught anarchist and quick change artist." After writ writing ing "The Famous Poll," which was published in In the Land of Dreamy Dreams, Gilchrist wrote several other short stories featuring Nora Jane in the mid '80's. The movie rights to stories featuring Nora Jane languished as the studio which owned them produced scripts of varying degrees of "horrible," according to Gilchrist. The day after informing her agent that the studio could not have the rights to future stories featuring Nora Jane, Gilchrist began writing another story about her. "I had brought her back from bondage," said Gilchrist. "The Famous Poll" revolves around Nora Jane's planned robbery of the "oldest neigh neighborhood borhood bar in the Irish Channel section of New Orleans." dGilchrist shared the secrets to writing success with members of an English class on Monday. by Lydia Alexander Staff Writer Ellen Gilchrist shared the experiences which prompted the writing of her stories and addressed issues she faces as a modern woman writer with a Study of Literature class the morning before her Atkinson lec lecture. ture. In an informal setting, Gilchrist an answered swered questions from students and re reflected flected on her personal journey as a writer, dealing with a wide variety of topics. Poetry vs. fiction Gilchrist's opinion of fiction writing has changed over the years. "I thought that a fiction writer was like a garage mechanic, whereas a poet was a nuclear physicist. Now, I see that both are equally valuable, and each function has its own art and beauty." Gilchrist noted that even at the time she was studying with short story genius Eudora Welty at Millsaps College she had little respect for short story writ writing. ing. However, Gilchrist still respects the poetic form, stating that "the best descrip descriptions tions of reality are in poetry." The gift of writing "The ability to write something others will read is a gift like a singing voice. It does no good to have that gift unless you're driven to use it." Gilchrist's drive to write included keeping herself in top physical condition, so that her brain would be in top condition. "I still don't know why I did that," she said, but noted it was more than a drive to be published, it was a part of her. "It's like when you're fifteen years old and there's this boy you like, and you just have to write him a note and tell him how you feel. It's that kind of yearning." Early childhood memories "A lot of the things I wrote came out of the best material any writer has - early childhood memories. I don't know if it's because you're smaller, and that much closer to the earth, to beetles and acorns.... I really think it's something about your height. I also think it's the freshness of everything being new. It's hard to recreate complex human behavior, sometimes you have to sit back and watch a four year old put on his socks, and remember how hard that is, because you have to get them on right, so they don't bunch up in your shoes. Do you remember that?" Where does the story begin? "A story begins with a series of hap happenings, penings, impulses that come unbidden, and you have to write it down at the moment it occurs to you, then go back and look at it with curiosity, in an uncritical mood. Be f, f jl Ellen Gilchrist studied creative writing and poetry with literary giant Eudora Welty. gentle, and add some as it comes to you, you' 11 finish it sooner or later. This is where amateur writers get frustrated, they either force it, or savage it. Let your subconscious mind work on it." When fiction becomes reality "I wrote scenarios of an earthquake in San Francisco in Drunk with Love four years before it happened. The stories came from spending time in the Bay Area with people who had lived there all their lives. We'd go around town, and they'd say things like 'Gosh, I wouldn't want to be on that bridge when the big one hits.' And then when the earthquake hit, those were the first pictures of TV. I wasn't a seer, I just knew it would be a dramatic experience. Encouragement to writers "If you love to read and you've been a reader all your life, you should try to write. You shouldn't worry , however, if the world think it's successful. There are better ways to make a lot of money. You have to do it for joy there's a difference in the quality of a day when I write in the morning. The rest of the day seems to fall into place. Dangers to women writers "If you get pregnant, you won' t be able to write having a child is the big creative act and it takes all your energy. There might be some real, real nice babies some somewhere where that will let you write, but those weren't my kids. Children will not let you read a book, much less write one." Adherence to structure "As any of my critics could tell you -1 don't. I serve the muse. As far as fiction goes, you learn to write short stories by reading short stories. Your brain creates reality in that fashion. There is a format: a scries of events that lead to a climax, fol followed lowed by an ending." 77ie Office of Residence Life has opted to restructure resident assistant positions at WISH, Shephard, Haseldorf, Lee and York. by Gina Devincenzi Staff Writer Over the past couple of weeks, the Office of Residence Life, Vice President of Student Affairs Stuart Tennant, and various campus Resident Directors have been meeting to restructure the present Campus Organiza Organizational tional Chart. Marilyn Derby, the Associate Director of Staff and Programs, assures students that the structure will change only slightly allowing for a more smooth, functioning operation of the individual residence halls. Presently Anita Stacey, the Coordinator of Greek Affairs, is overseeing the Fraternity Directors in dealing with in-house residen residential tial concerns. She also works with the Soror Sorority ity House Directors, as well as the Panhellenic Council and IFC (Inter-Fraternity Council). Due to an extremely full schedule, Stacey' s position will now be cut in half. This change will result in the formation of a completely new Fraternity Resident Director who will advise the various Fraternity House Direc Directors. tors. Budget constraints have forced the office to also implement three new Assistant Resi Resident dent Directors to help alleviate the pressures of the campus-wide Resident Directors whose jobs have become too overloaded with other obligations such as Drug and Alcohol com committees mittees and Programming duties. Starting next fall, Doney, Lausanne, York and Lee halls will be under the direction of one central Resident Director, along with the new Assistant RD's and numerous Resident Assistants. Baxter, Belknap and Matthews will follow in the same format. WISH, Shepard and the new campus apartments will have an RD and an Assistant Resident Director, along with Community and Resident Assistants. TIUA will continue to have one RD as well as live-in assistants. Job descriptions for RA's have been posted and meetings have taken place for interested students, but the final decisions will not come until later due to continuing budget concerns. The Office of Residence Life hopes to attract undergraduate and graduate students for three newly formed Assistant Resident Director positions and the one Fraternity House Director. Information on the positions will not be available until February 3, ac according cording to Derby. Editorial 4 Tje Collegian January 27, 1995 Monumenal tuition proposal commended Wednesday's announcement by President Jerry Hudson of the innovative Tuition Guarantee Plan was a monumental step to rectify one of the most disturbing trends in higher education- that of skyrocketing tuition costs. Though the university must continually fight against the rising cost of education by raising tuition, this action insures that incoming freshmen will be able to accurately predict the cost of their Willamette education from the first time they open the viewbook. The entire administration, from President Hudson on down, should be commended for their work that made this unique brainstorm a possibility. The Board of Trust Trustees ees also deserves a thank you from the future students of Willamette for knowing a good idea when they see one. Now, the administration must demonstrate that it is truly committed to helping students afford a Willamette education by keeping tuition down for students who are already attending the school. As last semester's petition suggested, students cannot afford another dramatic rise in the cost of their education. Most importantly, the administration must make its plans for current students known before it seeks approval from the Board of Trustees this spring. No doubt the administration would no try to raise tuition without telling anyone, but this is effecively what happens when no one is aware of the actions he plans to take. Amendment pointless You will soon be asked to vote on an amendment to the AS WU constitution that will mean absolutely nothing to you. You are not alone. But it is up to you to send a message to ASWU that the amendment is not simply a waste of voters' time and ASWU resources, but more importantly, completely opposite of the average student' s wishes. A quick glance at the text of the amendment, which can be found on page 12 of this issue of the Collegian, reveals that the alterations do little more than change the titles of the vice president, secretary and treasurer to vice president of activities, vice president of elections and vice president of finance. The amendment also tinkers with the job description of the officers, but these other changes, like the switch in job titles, are nothing but semantics and word games. A disturbing outcome of this vote will be the time, energy and money that ASWU spent seeking the neces necessary, sary, though entirely unreachable, two-thirds approval from the student body. These resources could have been more effectively put to use somewhere else. The more disturbing aspect of this vote is that it does nothing to further the concerns of the students. Both the ASWU officers and the Senate have done a good job of respond responding ing to students' needs this year. But this amendment, which had the unanimous approval of the Senate, is a step backwards in effective student government. Handling of "cattle run" questionable One quality the Greek system should be known for, if it is not already, is change. Greek life is a metaphor for change, all involved recognizing that their respective houses will not remain static, modi modifying fying themselves every year with each new pledge or member. Finally, the university's admin administration istration has embraced this idea whole-heartedly in collusion with the campus' Greek system, epito epitomized mized by the changes made to the once-convivial, now-infamous "cattle run." This phrase traditionally refers to the culmination of all of Willamette's sororities' Rush ef efforts, forts, when potential members de descend scend the steps of the UC and scramble to their respective new houses on the Saturday night of Rush week. What stood in its place this year was the most anticipated non-event of this year's Spring Rush, a non non-event event so huge that it required cam campus pus safety officers with megaphones to attend, insuring the protection of every individual present. They even threatened to call the Salem police department to help disperse the teeming masses of people who at attended tended the momentous occasion. Obviously, they just did not un understand derstand that those fine, upstanding students were merely seeking to lend their support to the congrega congregation tion of women seeking to take their first step towards a lifetime of sis sisterhood terhood with their sorority pals. Of course, the mayhem that would have otherwise ensued was plain for all to see. A few men were throwing a football around, which seemed to find its way to one of them unexpectedly, for which he was punished with a moment of intense pain. Surely if not for the cattle run, this entire scene could have been avoided. From the Editorial Board Joe Findling As for myself, I was attacked by some independent woman who was tired of my verbal abuse. Finally getting the upper hand, she man managed aged to drag me to the ground and mud-stain the sweater I had recently purchased at Goodwill. My sense of disappointment and frustration was only alleviated by campus safety's soothing presence, as they threatened to incarcerate those of us present in front of the UC. Only while I was leaving did I notice the warning signs on the pe perimeter rimeter of the UC grounds indicat indicating ing that no trespassing was allowed, especially to Willamette students, enforced by snipers on the roof of the building. I offered a silent prayer as I was leaving that the women attempting to join sororities that evening would not be carted off to the clink or shot, the fate many of us had so narrowly escaped. At that point, it became appar apparent ent to me that the women belonging to the three sororities across the street had noticed those implausible warnings, for they made no attempt to cross the pavement to the once-sacred-but-profaned University Center. Only later did I realize that the actual reason for those women re remaining maining stationary was fear of a 100 hour community service fine should they make any attempt to move across the street. Clearly, another smart move by the administration, in their under understanding standing of the need to restrict people's movements and avoid the "cattle run" mentality of control- ' ling "herds" of people. Apart from eliminating the herding mentality so widespread in previous years, the powers-that-be can also feel confident that they have made an impact on the sexual harassment on campus. Now that the university has put its foot down, it is assured that no more reference to the sororities' signing night will be made as the "cattle run." With Without out a doubt, reported incidents of sexual harassment will surely de decrease. crease. I recall an article published in the Collegian a few months ago about sexual harassment, in which Vice President for Student Affairs Stuart Tennant warned of the ad administration ministration making a massive ef effort fort to raise consciousness about the issue. The article itself focused on giving students options to report sexual harassment and new penal penalties ties for transgressors. Apparently Stu felt a more direct approach was warranted for the cattle run, the worst of all cases possible. "This cattle run I've heard about is just sexual harassment just wait waiting ing to be filed," he had said during the interview. It is reassuring to me that the administration is well aware of when they need to intercede on students' behalf and when they can allow us the autonomy to make our own decisions and determine when we are able to cross the street. m MMliM di iiti THE WILLAMETTE UNIVERSITY IT TT (TOI mm The official student netCMpaper since 1889 Vol. 105 No. 16 The Collegian is the official publication of the Associated Students of Willamette Univer University, sity, published weekly except during holidays and exam weeks.

If I were to suddenly accost the average Jane Doe on the street and ask her what she wanted out of life, chances are high that she'd say, "Oh, I just want to be happy." It seems like such a small thing to ask of fate, and yet it's such a transitory and elusive goal for most. However, the grim re reality ality doesn't stop us from wish wishing. ing. Case in point: at the end of all the best cheesy romance mo v v-ies, ies, the lovers lock in passionate embrace and promise tomake each other deliriously happy, as if that were some sort of invalu invaluable able gift. And in a recent conver conversation, sation, some friends of mine claimed that happiness is always a good thing. I said, "Uh, no, I don't think so." This comment earned me incredulous stares implying that I was a heretical, angst-ridden.lice-infested pariah of the worst sort. Happiness is an ideal that has been zealously championed since the be beginning ginning of time. We even have it included in our Declara Declaration tion of Inde Inde-pendence, pendence, asserting that we all de deserve serve "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness" (although others claim that Jefferson really meant "life, liberty, and the pur pursuit suit of eco economic nomic well well-being," being," which seems more plau plausible sible to me anyway). It's one of those things we value as an inalienable right, ranked up there with Coca-Cola and free speech. When happiness some somehow how evades us, we feel deprived and wronged and examine our lives to see how we've been cheated. This whole Fixation has got gotten ten way out of hand. Because a little happiness is nice and dandy, we think unending supplies of it would be even better. As the old adage goes, you can never have too much of a good thing. Well, we thoughfthat about ice cream and the Brady Bunch too, but experience has taught us otherwise - too much of either makes us downright ill. Pardon me for tromping on a treasured myth, but the same holds true where happiness is concerned. The problem is that we see happiness as a goal to be reached rather than a by-product to be (H sppiness) is one of those things we value as an inalienable right, ranked up there with Coca Coca-Cola Cola and free speech. When happiness somehow evades us, we feel deprived and wronged and examine our lives to see how we've been cheated. This whole fixation has gotten way out of hand. appreciated, and as a result we miss out on most of life. I kid you not. Happiness is a contented, warm-fuzzy-filled emotional As If Erin Duffy state, and not much else. Usually when we are happy, it means that we aren ' t experienci ng any prob problems, lems, conflicts, hurt feelings, misunderstandings, or so forth. The world seems like a good place to live and all is Utopian bliss. But happiness also means that we aren't being challenged to grow or expand our horizons; we are no longer able to mature spiritually, mentally, or emotion emotionally. ally. We have reached our goal, and we're stuck there in Rip Van Winkle and until something spits us back out into the real world. As Shel Silverstein says, "The Land of Happy is Boring." We were not put on this earth solely to achieve comfort and happiness - if that were true, we'd all stay five years old for forever. ever.

But then again, at five years old I had "" only the smallest concept of or capacity for true love, God seemed like nothing more than an old bearded man with wings, and I couldn't even get a joke. I had a good time, but I wouldn't go back there if given the chance; I'd have to give up too much of who I've become and what I've learned since then. The pursuit of happiness is a vain chase that will eventually leave us empty-handed, but that's not a bad thing. It's often been said that happiness sneaks up on us unawares when we are con concentrating centrating on the important things in life. We weren't made to seek happiness; we were made to seek truth and love and the source of who we are. If we focus first on these things, then the rest will follow.

Dennis Miller funding not from ASWU Dear Editor, After reading Nick Evans' let letter ter in last week's Collegian, I thought it would be appropriate for me to write a letter that tells the truth about the Dennis Miller show. First of all this event is bud budgeted geted so that not a penny of ASWU money will be spent on the Dennis Miller show. I repeat this event is budgeted so that not a single penny of ASWU money will be spent on the Dennis Miller show! The per performance formance will be entirely subsidized by ticket sales. In fact if we sell out (which I project we will) we will actually make a small profit from the show, which will be used to support more student programs. Another concern that was raised in Evans' letter was that students were not asked their opinions on the Dennis Miller show. Many students were asked if they would like to see Dennis Miller perform at Willamette, the answer was an en enthusiastic thusiastic "yes!" From there I went to a few hall councils soliciting their opinions on the show, and then went to the ASWU Senate, the official representatives of all the students and they unanimously voted to hold the show. I also want to point out that President Hudson never tried to stop Dennis Miller from coming, and in fact from what I hear is quite ex excited cited about the show. I hope in the future that if any anyone one has a problem with an activity that we are planning that they call, visit, or e-mail me with their con concerns cerns so that they can get the facts on what is happening before they write a letter that is filled with mis information. This semester we have some wonderful events happening and I always love to hear feedback or new ideas that you want to see. So please call me at X6058 or X6826 or e-mail me ( wsmith) and I will see what I can do to make your idea happen. Willie Smith ASWU Vice President Operation Nightwatch duties clarified Dear Editor, I am writing to clarify some information written in the article, "Students get alternative perspec perspective tive on new year," in the last edition (12095) of the Collegian. In the article, Operation Nightwatch was described as "...a small cafe oper operated ated by a Presbyterian church which serves coffee and sandwiches to the city's homeless from 8 p.m. to mid midnight night Thursday through Sunday." While the part about serving food to the city's homeless is correct, de describing scribing Operation Nightwatch as "a small cafe" is a misrepresenta misrepresentation. tion. My dad has been the director of Operation Nightwatch for over ten years so I've grown up being very familiar with O.N. and what it stands for. Serving food to the homeless is only one of the many things O.N. does. O.N. runs a hos hospitality pitality center which is open every Thursday through Sunday to pro provide vide people not only with some food and warmth but also a commu community. nity. People come to the center to play games, visit with others and form new friendships. In addition to this, O.N. is also an ecumenical ministry, supported by many churches, not only the Presbyterian church, and operated by Gary Vaughan and a Board of Directors. I hope this serves to paint a clearer and more accurate picture of Op Operation eration Nightwatch. Juliane Vaughan Senior Budget suggestions wanted for committee Dear Editor, During fall term I had the op opportunity portunity of meeting with President Hudson as part of an ASWU Senate function. At that time I was amazed to learn that the college produces a huge sum of photocopies, some somewhere where between one and two million copies monthly. At five cents a sheet, the cost of this endeavor consumes the tuition of between three and eight students per month! One of my friends had the mis misfortune fortune of losing a video she checked out from the library last fall. Natu Naturally, rally, the library told her that she would have to pay the replacement cost of the film. It sounds reason reasonable, able, but when they tried to charge her $89.50 for a copy of Rosencrantz and Guildenstein are Dead both of us began to question whether the library was spending a little too much on its video collec collection. tion. This term I will be sitting on the College Budget Committee. While in that position my focus will be to propose ideas which will cut the college's operating expenses with without out significantly impacting the de delivery livery of services. Two specific pro proposals posals I will be making will deal with reducing the number of class schedules the college sends to stu students dents every term and determining the possibility of buying videos for the library at more reasonable prices. My hope is that students and employees will participate in de developing veloping ideas to streamline the university's operating expenses. Considering that we have been faced with extreme tuition hikes in the past few years, it is totally reason reasonable able that the college now begins to focus on how it can serve us in a more efficient manner than it has in the past.

Anderson Staff Writer Willamette's Greek system en enjoyed joyed an extremely successful Spring Rush, according to Coordinator for Greek Affairs Anita Stacey. "I thought it was outstanding, just the sheer interest of students looking at Greek life," said Stacey. "There was a larger number of women than we've had in the past (both rush and pledge). More men joined fraternities this spring than last spring. Overall, every chapter did extremely well. We've added about 215 members to the Greek system since September." The sororities received a total of 92 pledges. "All of the women who went through preference night and signed a (preference) card received a chapter, which is impressive," said Stacey. Alpha Chi Omega sorority re received ceived 26 pledges during Spring Rush. Since September, Alpha Chi has added 45 women to their house. Freshman Maureen DuBois is contemplating life at Alpha Chi Omega. "I went into it not knowing what to expect, but I had a lot of fun with it and I met a lot of really great people," she said. Delta Gamma garnered 29 pledges last Saturday and has added a total of 34 pledges since Septem T 4 Information was available at the COP Volunteer Forum for service projects, such as Habitat for Humanity. Volunteer forum displays COP programs by Liani Reeves Staff Writer Students were given the oppor opportunity tunity to find out about various vol volunteer unteer programs at a forum held on the second floor of the UC Wednes Wednesday day night. Different groups under the Com Community munity Outreach Program (COP) set up booths to inform students about volunteerprograms available to them within the Salem community. Coor Coordinators dinators for the event were Assistant Director of Student Activities for the Community Outreach Program Ron Krabill and junior Alex Rodinsky. According to Krabill, the forum was "a chance for students to find out what projects we run by the students who lead them." Thirteen different groups were represented. A booth was set up to provide information on the three alternative breaks which will be offered over Spring Break. The Alternative Breaks "open students' minds to things outside the Willamette com community," munity," said sophomore Jolene ber. Freshman Megan Frey, a Delta Gamma pledge, found the overall experience to be enjoyable. "It's not as overwhelming as I thought it would be. I think it's something that all freshman should do because you just get to meet a lot of people. I thought that I'd be really nervous because of all the upperclassmen and everything, but everyone was really nice and everyone was really open. All around, it was a really good experience," Frey said. Joy Hubbard, Pi Beta Phi Rush Chair, was enthusiastic about the chapter's results. "We have 27 new pledges. ...It's so exciting that there are so many numbers involved in Rush this year. I mean, it's not just a Pi Beta Phi thing. It was just a really positive Rush for the whole Greek system." Hubbard said she feels it wasn't as competitive between the sororities as it has been in the past. "I just felt good about saying, 'We all did well.'" The fraternities were also suc successful cessful during Spring Rush, although the new Rush format proved chal challenging lenging to some. Beginning this year, the Interfraternity Council (IFC) decided that fraternities should be able to give men bids starting the Monday after Winter Break. Additionally, this year it wasn't mandatory for the rushees to go to A OR f Yee. "Here on the Willamette cam campus pus we are limited to the same people and the same environment all the time." There will be a trip to Port Portland land where students will take part in Operation Nightwatch. This will al allow low students to talk one-on-one with homeless people, according to Yee. Another alternative break will be made to ZionBryce Canyon Na National tional Parks in Utah. This will be an environmental issue focus and will give students the opportunity to learn about human impacts on the envi environment. ronment. The third alternative break is to New Mexico. Migrant tutoring is a new pro program gram started last fail that involves students who tutor bilingual students in the Salem public high schools. There are no longer tutors within the school systems so they need outside help, according to senior Jay Marble. Operation Dream is an annual week-long focus on social issues. This year, the focus is on racism. Events planned include, speakers, debates, and a service day when students are encouraged to work with various orcanizations in Salem. all six houses, as has been the case in the past. "There was a lot more freedom. It was more set on the idea that the guys had choices and they should be free to make their own decisions. We can't make them sign or go to a house. We thought it would be a lot better," said IFC Rush Chair Chris Frazier. Frazier said that with the new system, much more responsibility for rushing was placed on the indi individual vidual houses. "Basically, IFC has orientation the first night and it is the houses' job to get the guys back the second night." Kendall Hay nes, a freshman who has yet to sign a fraternity, enjoyed his Rush experience. "It was a fan fantastic tastic experience. I met great people in all of the houses and obliterated some preconceived stereotypes that I had about the houses," he said. Beta Theta Pi has signed 15 pledges so far. Activities were loosely organized this year, accord according ing to President Jeremy Angaran. "We kind of invited the guys over and conversed and played foosball. We didn't have any really planned activities." "(Rush) went pretty well. I think that if we can get a couple more guys then we ' 11 have a pretty strong pledge class," said Angaran. Jeff Anicker, Delta Tau Delta's The Talented and Gifted Mentoring program's goal is to be a friend and role model to talented and gifted kids, mainly at the elementary school level. Freshman Karen Wyckoff explained, "The focus is not tutoring, but to be a friend. A lot of the students are stigmatized; some sometimes times it's hard to be gifted." Junior Danny Kapsch said that the goal of the Bush Mentor Pro Program gram is to "just be a friend and a good role model. Some of the kids are in need of that." Willamette students are paired up with students from Bush Elementary School and they generally meet once a week. Activities range from going to lunch, playing in the park, and helping with homework. Other community partnerships represented at the forum inlcude: Best Buddies, the Teen Parents Project, the Devereaux Library Tu Tutoring toring Project, Habitat for Human Humanity, ity, the Cartoon Club, and the Male Probation Mentors. For any infor information mation on the various volunteer op opportunities, portunities, contact COP in the main lobby of the UC or call X6463. Rush Chair, said that his house has received 12 pledges. "(Rush) went pretty well for us compared to years past. We're still looking to gain more pledges during this term," said Anicker. As far as "recruiting strategy" was concerned, Anicker said, "Basi "Basically, cally, we worked from the begin beginning ning of the year instead of waiting until Formal Rush. We already knew a whole lot of people before the process began, which really helped." Kappa Sigma has garnered 17 pledges so far. "With the changed system, I was pretty skeptical as to how the whole thing would work out," said Ryan Martin, Kappa Sigma Rush Chair. "It ended up working out great." "As far as Rush activities went, we decided to make it an open house setting," said Martin. Rush activity highlights at Kappa Sigma included the showing of a Morrow snow boarding video and a barbecue. "We didn't do anything too flashy, but it got the job done." Rush activities at the Phi Delta Theta house included floor hockey in the basement and a casino night with prizes. "We thought we'd keep things more relaxed and.. .not put so much pressure on the guys; a little more fun, a little less talking," said Sam Breyer, Phi Delta Theta president. WISH renovation lags behind schedule by Heather C. Anderson Staff Writer The process of demolishing the kitchen in WISH house and using dead space to house the Admissions office and build a smaller student kitchen is under underway. way. The project is behind sched schedule ule due to problems obtaining a building permit and selecting a construction company. This means that construction, which is beginning this week, will inter interfere fere with student life in the hall. However, through memos and updates, Residence Life is striving to keep residents in informed formed about the process, which, according to students, is making a difficult situation easier to live with. The original plan called for completion of the major, high noise elements of the project over winter break, when students would not be in the building. However, the University was unable to begin the bid process for a contractor to do the demoli demolition tion and construction until it re received ceived the building permits from the City of Salem. Also, it was necessary to wait until architect drawings were finalized. The project was divided into two parts: demolition of the ex existing isting structure and construction of the new offices. Stephens Con Construction struction was given the demoli demolition tion project, which they finished in mid-January. Included in the demolition was gutting out RD Christian Reichardt's apartment to make space for the new student kitchen and cutting a new en entrance trance from the living room into the new kitchen. The old guest bathroom has been deconstructed Overall, Breyer thought Rush went wel. "We got four of our top choices for pledges. All four of them are quite different, but they're ex exactly actly what the fraternity needs to keep growing." Zach Hall, Sigma Alpha Epsilon N Rush Chairman, conveyed his house's enthusiasm with Rush. "We have 20 pledges and.. .the whole house is very pleased with the re results." sults." According to Hall, the pinnacle event in SAE's Rush activities was the sumo wrestling competitions, complete with the padded body suits. "So far as we know, we're the only ones to ever do something like that. (It) was fun for the members as well as the pledges." With 21 pledges, Sigma Chi" posted the largest group of prospec prospective tive members. Rush Chair Rick Hutchins said of his house's activi activities, ties, "We provided programs to ex expose pose our house throughout the fall. We also participated in the IFC (In- terfraternity Council) Rush." "Our house sets itself apart in its own way with a relaxed atmosphere," Hutchins added. For Tyler Peterson, a freshman who signed Sigma Chi, Rush was very positive. "I'm glad I went through it. I feel if I hadn't, then I would have missed out on some great opportunities," he said. in order to gain space for a new hallway for fire safety purposes. The old kitchen and dining area has been demolished, and a wall separating the lobby and the new office area was built. Now, what remains is the ac actual tual construction and renovation of the new offices. C and R build builders ers was awarded the renovation contract last Monday morning. Anticipating student concern re regarding garding the noise and other is issues sues relating to having major renovation going on in their resi residence, dence, Rich Shintaku, dean of Residence Life, sent a letter to WISH residents Monday, outlin outlining ing his interest in improving com communications munications with residents. One means of informing resi residents dents is the establishment of a daily work schedule to be posted in the lobby of WISH. Shintaku also noted that regular meetings between the residents, adminis administration, tration, and possibly a represen representative tative of C and RBuilders could be used to inform students of what is going on as the project progresses. According to Melissa Mimier, co-president of WISH hall, although the communica communication tion between the administration and students "hasn't been great," the letter sent by Shintaku and the postings of daily work sched schedules ules have made a difference. Mimier also noted that the efforts of WISH's hall council secretary to make sure residents know when water will be shut off and when other crucial projects are under underway way has been enormously help helpful. ful. Also, some residents have been surprised that the noise level hasn't been as bad as expected.

Dorcas Brown then gave an emotionally charged singing per performance formance that left the audience in stunned silence. She sang songs ranging from "Go Down, Moses," to "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot." After the song, professor of law Dale Rubin continued to empha emphasize size the relevance of the life of Martin Luther King to everyone interested in equality today. Rubin described King as "a man of action. ..who calls on all of us to take action to make his dream a reality." He said that as long as their is inequality anywhere in the world, King's dream has not been real realized. ized. King's message is not limited solely to the civil right's move movement ment of the 1960's, but is also im important portant to all people, such as the poor in America, who are deprived of proper health care, quality edu education, cation, and other living essentials, Rubin said. He explained how many people respect King, but do not "hear the call to action." He read part of a letter written by King encouraging others to perservere in the cause of seeking to establish "universal peace and just laws." Dyan Watson, with accompa accompanist nist Lydia Smith, then played a song on the saxaphone entitled, step these boundaries. In the area of Greek life, he said that it was himself that decided upon the so social cial probation of a house and that he informed the President of that house of their probation. He noted that the length of the probation was not always determined as soon as the house is on probation; that is also as his discretion.

She briefly described how she was thankful for the work of King, but added that not all the credit should go to King, "but to God who gave us Dr. King." The words of the chorus of her song were, "To God be the glory." Watson was followed by Julian Ervin who read from King s "I have a dream" speech. The passage he read was about King' s hope that one day their would be equality every everywhere, where, even in the state of Missouri. King described his vision of former slaves and slave owners sitting down together in peace. Ervin also read a letter commenting on how great a day it will be when "equality is a given, not just a goal."

Associated Press TWIN FALLS, Idaho A centuries-old warrior will probably not get to testify on behalf of a Colorado man charged with kidnapping and shooting his former girlfriend. Jack. Peel, 48, acting as his own attorney, asked to be hypnotized in order to summon "Larkin the Execu Executioner," tioner," whom he described later as a scaly, prehistoric cannibal from an another other planet. "After 'channeling' was ex explained plained to me ... it's hardly likely I will allow the testimony," 5th Dis District trict Judge Daniel Meehl said in a hearing Monday. Larkin is an objective witness to the shooting, Peel argued. He is hon honest, est, "a warrior of words" who doesn't grow horns, and isn't linked with Satanism. Peel's former girlfriend, Connie Price, sat in the corner of the court courtroom room listening to Peel's arguments during the pretrial conference. Price testified in October that Peel woke her up with "a hand over my mouth and a gun to my head" on Sept. 25. She said he forced her to drive down a dirt road, then shot her when shf tried to flee. Twin Falls County Chief Deputy John Lothspeich asked Judge Meehl to appoint a lawyer to represent Peel, who is disruptive with his "Larkin malarkey." Lothspeich said he feared Peel would ambush his case with new witnesses. Whether in or out of body , he said, "it was Jack's body that did the crime." "Objection!" Peel said, leaping to his feet in handcuffs and shackles; "That's an assumption based on con conclusion." clusion." Meehl agreed, but said he will decide whether to appoint an attorney after a local psychiatrist examines Peel. Price said her arm is healing fronf the bullet wound she sustained from the shooting. Grade inflation may be prevalent, but is not considered problematic by Lydia Alexander Staff Writer Whm would you do for an A? iess than your parents did, according to a national survey of colleges and universities. Statistics show that over overall all grade-point averages (GPAs) of students have drastically increased since 1969, and academic purists are screaming for reform. However, the causes of grade in inflation flation are still being debated, and faculty and officials at most schools, including Willamette, are reluctant to return to the standards of years past. Between 1969 and 1993, the pro proportion portion of students with GPAs of A A-or or higher quadrupled. In 1969, 7 per percent cent of undergraduates earned these averages. In 1976, the proportion was 19 percent, by 1993 it rose to 26 percent. There was a major decline in the number of students with GPAs of C or lower in the same period. In 1969, 25 percent of students received GPAs of C or lower, by 1976, this number was 13 percent, and in 1993, only 9 of the students had a C GPA or lower, nearly a 23 drop. The study, conducted by Arthur Levine, also revealed that, despite these high grades, three out of five students in last year's study said they weren't doing as well academically as they would like, and that their GPAs understated the true quality of their work. Levine is chairman of the Insti Institute tute for Educational Management at the Graduate School of Education at Harvard University and his findings were published in the Jan. 19, 1994 issue of the Chronicle of Higher Edu Education. cation. There are a multitude of theories as to why grades have shot up over the past 25 years. Schools are afraid of students flunking out, and taking their tuition dollars with them. Professors give high grades to attract students to their classes. Defenders of grade inflation, such as highly selective schools including Stanford insist that by giving higher grades, that students become less obsessed with their grades, allowing them to take more challenging courses without fear of destroying their GPAs. And, a writer in the magazine Phi Delta Kappan noted that today 's prac tice of giving higher grades is prefer preferable able to the bell curve system of years past, which made it difficult to distin distinguish guish genuinely talented students without resorting to questioning them on extraneous information to set them apart. Robert Hawkinson, Associate Dean of the College of Liberal Arts, noted that there is a general feeling among the more selective institutions, such as Willamette, that the students entering the institutions are already at a certain level above the national average, and their collegiate grades should reflect that. Professor of Religion Lane McGaughy attributed the trend of grade inflation not to specific univer university sity policies, but to the consumer mentality sweeping the nation. "Stu dents want value for their invest investment," ment," said McGaughy. Students see high grades as an important step on the road to future success, and conclude that since they are paying tuition to a school, that the school owes them the high grades that will give them access to graduate school and employment. The challenge of a university is to separate learning for the sake of learn learning ing from viewing education as aprod- uct. Currently, there is no historical data available about whether grades at Willamette have followed the na national tional trend over the past 25 years. Todd Massa, Assistant Registrar for Institutional Research, said that he will probably begin compiling such information in the next few months, adding that "no one has addressed (grade inflation) as a priority. We're just not any different than other schools on this." In fact, the general attitude at Willamette and other schools has been one of reluctance to address the prob problem. lem. In his article, Levine attributes this to the fact that grade inflation is treated not as a concrete problem with potential solutions but as a vague, abstract moral issue that is easily ig ignored. nored. Willamette's Hawkinson noted that although Willamette faculty do grumble about grade inflation from time to time, that it is motivated by regret about the system, rather than interest in reform. "It's a fact of modern academic life. I think that there's little interest in doing anything about it, it's not really considered a problem," Hawkinson said. THE MONSTER, THE.

I have just seen the new film "Legends of the Fall," and for the life of me, I can't decide if I liked it or not. Sure, I laughed, cried and cheered during the film, just like everyone else. I even drooled over a very hairy Brad Pitt, despite the knowledge that he is shorter than I. But that's another story altogether. It seems that my problem with this film is that I am pulled very strongly in completely opposite directions when it comes to how I feel about the film.

It has almost become the buzz-word of seniors and juniors preparing for graduation, and rightly so, if students wish to increase their chances at land landing ing a job. According to the National Soci Society ety of Experimental Education, "one in three college students does an in internship ternship today before they graduate compared to 1 in 36 in 1980." These internships are proving valuable for students as they enter the work-force. Companies such as Intel, Kraft Gen General eral Foods, and Hewlett-Packard are increasing the number of interns they hire as full-time employees. How in the world do you land an internship that may turn into a full full-time time job or career? Where do you find out about the best ones?

Each of them loves her in their own way, each essentially driven crazy by the strength of their feelings for her. She, in turn, loves them each in her own way, but is really not in control of her feelings or actions, thereby contributing to the madness which eventually envelops all parties involved. The film shifts the focus from one brother to the next, concentrating on the "story" of each brother. How However, ever, the film always seems drawn back to the characterofTristan, played by Pitt, almost bashfully. The best way to describe it is to use an example. Have you ever walked into a room and immediately caught the eye of someone who com completely pletely intrigues you? Your attention is constantly diverted to that person. Even though you are somewhat embarrassed by this unexplainable attraction, you can't help it and the other events in the room seem to fade in the distance. That is what seems to happen in this film.

It is impos impossible sible to deny that this film is not completely mesmerizing, firmly grasping you by the collar and not letting you down for a second. Bccausethe the film is so emo emotionally tionally demanding, it is difficult to criticize it. However, if I allow my myself self to be logical about it, I find some definite problems within. First of all, the framework of the story is so fa familiar miliar it was like deja vu throughout the whole thing. I could not help but feel that this was a first cousin of another Brad Pitt "brothers in the Montana wilderness family saga" film A River Runs Through It. The reason I say this is that there were more than just a few coinciden coincidental tal similarities between the two films. They are both set in the same place, in the same time period, with the same emotional and "heavy" tone. In both films, Pitt plays the reck reckless less brother, driven by his own wild spirit more than by the wishes of his family. His characters are both amaz amazingly ingly complex and well-explored, yet they are both sort of pathetic losers who end up hurting themselves and their loved ones through their wild ways. At times, the similarities are so painfully obvious, it is clear that they had been used to ensure the financial Q.h in America pany matters to them. The fact of the matter is this book sparks aninterestin internships. Some of the internships in this book seem too good to be true. Yet they are legitimate and available.

However, a number of com companies panies also offer positions through throughout out the academic year as well. In Oregon and California alone there are over 45 companies offering internships. The majority are located in California and include companies success of the film. Though the char characterization acterization and drama were success successful ful in both films, the similarities were just tooobviousand seemed likecheap plagiarism. The film often relies upon visual beauty to make up for flaws within itself. I will be the first to admit that Pitt (as well as other characters) was beautiful, but the never-ending shots of Brad, standing into the wind, sun on his face and hairflowing all around him, got a little old. It is like the film itself is incred incredibly ibly vain, and constantly takes time out to admire itself. Beautiful shots of landscape and people are nice, but they should not take the place of integrity and strength in the script. So, as you can see, I am having a problem categorizing my feelings for the film. There is no doubt that you will be entertained as well as en enthralled thralled by what you see, which I suppose is a satisfactory result. I think that I have taken a few too many film classes and have a distinct problem looking at a film just for entertainment value. You may very well hate what I have said here, and claim that I have over-analyzed this poor film, and I probably agree with you. But it might give you something to think about. By the way, this is a really good film to go see on a date. to gain job training such as Elite Model Management, The Walt Disney Studios, MTV: Music Television and the National Audubon Society.

The exhibit includes sculptures, mixed media and Polaroid transfer. Brown-Ford gallery shows diverse artworks by three Oregon women by Lydia Alexander Staff Writer The work of three female Oregon artists which reflect diverse mediums such as mixed media, Polaroid transfers, and ceramic sculp sculpture ture will be on display at Willamette's Hallie Brown-Ford Gallery starting Monday, January 30. Emily Stuart, Corrine Loomis-Dietz, and Cynthia Spencer, the artists featured in the show, will be at the gallery on Friday, February 3 from 5-8 pm to answer questions about their work. Cynthia Spencer, who graduated from Willamette in 1979 with a BA in Fine Arts and German Studies, specializes in ceramics, which she teaches at Linn-Benton Community Col College. lege. The sculptures are abstract forms with dis distinctive tinctive curves, and are rough in texture. According to Spencer, her work is about "creating a feminine vocabulary of sculptural forms," and exploring feminine gestures and forms of the human figure. Most of the sculptures in the exhibit are accentuated with 23 karat gold leaf, which "alludes to inner beauty, joy, our souls," wrote Spencer. Emily Stuart, an artist living in Salem, is also exhibiting her mixed media works at the show. Mixed media allows for collage, as well as the infusion of ordinary, every day objects to create meaningful art. One of her pieces, "Epiphonic Moment," uses a light bulb in the piece. The word "epiphonic" refers to a special revelation or insight, which is signified by the light. Stuart entitled her collection "From the Profane to the Absurd (by way of the Sacred)" and described her art as "a search for dream-like images that evoke memories and feelings just out of reach." Corrine Loomis-Dietz is exhibiting her works in Polaroid transfer. Loomis-Dietz uses the Polaroid camera to record brief moments in time, and then takes these basic images, and transfers them to paper, using color pencils, soft pastels, scrapers, and blenders to enhance the image. According to Loomis-Dietz, this allows her to control the focus, composition, and surface of the piece. The exhibition will be open January 30 through March 1 6, and Gallery hours are week weekdays, days, noon to 4 pm. RECYCLING AT WILLAMETTE Hello everyone, my name is Rory Greenfield and I'm the new Recycling Coordinator. Since beginning work in late October, I've been reviewing our program and learning about successful programs on other campuses. Our program is but a mere two years old but has made considerable progress in its time. In my investigations I have come across ideas that would bring our recycling efforts up to speed. By making a few simple changes we are going to reduce our waste, save some money and be a little bit more environmentally considerate. Outlined below is the new color-coded collection system for paper that will be uniform throughout campus. Posters, labels, and symbols on containers will be color-coded to identify what category of paper goes into a particular container. Implementation of this program will take place on a building by building basis so your patience is appreciated. It is important that eveyone familiarizes themselves with each of the paper categories to learn what is acceptable so that our updated system is a success! I have alsd produced a pamphlet titled "Recycling Paper at Willamette University " to further assist everyone in understanding this program. If you have any questions, please contact Campus Recycling ext 4506. WHITE PAPER: Color coded WHITE. Included in this category: computer print-outs (green & blue bar paper is OK), white letter head, white paper with blue or black ink only, typing paper, copy paper, white legal pad paper, notebook paper, white index cards, and adding machine tape, white envelopes WITHOUT windows, stamps or labels. OFFICE PACK. Color coded YELLOW. Included in this category: PASTEL colored paper, yellow legal pad paper, pastel "Post-it" notes, pastel index cards, NCR forms, slick, glossy & coated paper, envelopes with or without windows &manila file folders. MIXED PAPER: Color coded RED. Included in this category: bright, neon, or dark colored paper with or without labels, tape, stickers or glue, junk mail, ream wrappers, paperboard (tablet backings & shoebox type material), gift wrap and grocery lunch bags. NO FOOD RESIDUE! PAPER WITH LABELS, STICKERS, TAPE OR GLUE IS NOT ACCEPTED IN THE WHITE PAPER OR OFFICE PACK CATEGORIES!

Anderson Staff Writer able to Two dance floors and horse-drawn carriage rides highlight Black Tie Affair, ASWU's big biggest gest event of the year. Black Tie will be held at the Masonic Temple in Portland on Feb. 10, from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. "In the past it's always been ASWU's big biggest gest event," said ASWU Vice President Willie Smith. "About 900 students attended last year, and we're hoping for that many if not more this year. "I hope that at least 800 people come, if not more," said co-chair Brooke Bingaman. "There are some changes this year that are very exciting," said Smith. Among the changes include two separate ballrooms complete with separate music styles. The Broadway 9 will play in the sunken ball room, for tradi traditional tional swing dancing. The Cadillac, a DJ ser vice, will hopefully, according to Smith, pro provide vide more of a dance club alternative. "Many people like the swing music but don't know how to dance to it and are looking to do something else," said Smith. For those desiring to brush up on their swing dancing skills, free lessons will be held in the Cat Cavern from 7 to 9 p.m. on January 3 1 , February 5 and 6. "This is the first year that we'll have two dance floors, so I hope that people go to both of them and that there's a lot of circulation going on between the two dance floors," said Bingaman. "This year we also have a caricature artist who will draw couples together for free. I thought that would be a unique little addition." There will also be free horse-drawn car carriage riage rides available for parties interested in a ride through the scenic downtown Portland park blocks. Bingaman said, "I am excited to have planned it because it's my senior year and I tracts I 7 thought it would be nice to get involved so that it would be to my liking. I've planned proms and things in high school, but I' ve never worked with a $12,000 budget." "(Co-chair) Andrea (Ledford) and I live on the same floor. I'm actually the RA on that floor (in Doney) so when we were thinking of ideas, we not only took it to the programming board, but we've incorportated as much student imput as we could in the process," said Bingaman. Planning such a large event didn't go with without out mishaps, however. "The only things that have been difficult have been that there were a lot of little details that are easy to forget. You remember to hire a band, but you forget to ask what size of stage they need and wonder if the place you ve rented has a stage that size, little things like that," said Bingaman. "All of the con con-have have been signed, so ev erything should be set for the evening." Parties desiring photo photographs graphs of the event will be have that service through , Quest Photography. The package available will be two 5x7 photographs for $10. Pictures will be available for pickup after the event at the UC desk.

Armstrong has been tattoo tattooing ing since 1928 and, at 75, may be the oldest tattoo artist in the na nation. tion. His most fascinating story may be his own. "I was born in a tattoo shop shop-physically," physically," said Armstrong, who tours the country so often that his business card reads "Jack Armstrong at Lar ge." Armstrong's mother was tat tattooing tooing a customer when she stopped to give birth to her son, he said. After he was born, she finished the customer's tattoo. Armstrong was one of sev several eral artists who attended the tat tattoo too convention, "Ink on the Wa Water ter '95," last weekend at the Oshkosh Convention Centre.The annual convention, held in Oshkosh for the first time, fea featured tured tattoo artists and body pierc piercing. ing. Armstrong said he was just 9 when he received his first tattoo and took up the art. In the past two years he had a skull and flames tattooed on his ears. Now, he said he is finished getting tat tattoos toos and may give up the art com completely pletely to tour the country selling tattoo machines. That's one reason Terry McAllister of Cary, III., went to Armstrong to get a bulldog tat tattooed tooed below his right collarbone, "And I'm having him sign it because it's a piece of history," McAllister said.

People get tattoos for decoration, just like wearing jewelry or makeup, he said. The bulldog is McAllister's seventh tattoo, and he plans to get one of the cartoon character Betty Boop on a motorcycle. "I like it," McAllister said. "I like the art work. It's the body adornment" Robb Ebbole of Green Bay agreed. "I consider it an art form," he - said, adding that stereotypical "bikers" aren't the only people to get tattoos. He's known business men with body art. "Just because they wear a suit and tie and long sleeves doesn't mean they don't have ink," he said. Ebbole, who has about 1 7 tat tattoos, toos, had a skull with a fire hose coming out of its mouth added to his right forearm. Tattoo artist Cliff James of Springfield, Mo., chose the design. James said he has had requests for just about everything, but he refuses to draw Satanic designs. "I try to keep it in the realm of good taste," he said. A panel judged tattoos in 12 categories during the convention. T.C. Farley, chairman of the University of Wisconsin Wisconsin-Oshkosh Oshkosh art department and a sculptor, was one of the judges and said he looks at line quality, color and first impressions. "If it doesn't grab you right away , it will be harder and harder to give them a high score," he said. Farley, who considers tattoo tattooing ing "art on a portable canvas," said he looked at the convention for someone to give him a tattoo of a coral snake. He said the artists at the show have good reputations and im improve prove their businesses by travel traveling ing the country. "It would be an honor to be worked on by some of these guys," he said.

And the San Francisco 49ers, San Diego's op opponents ponents in Sunday ' s title game, won three of those 10 and four overall.

When the Redskins went with third-stringer Timmy Smith as their main back against the Broncos in 1988, the unheralded runner set a Super Bowl record with 204 yards. Stronger pass-rushers This area isn't even close. Who do you want, Lawrence Taylor or Simon Fletcher? Dexter Manley, Charles Mann and Wilber Marshall, or Rulon Jones and Karl Mecklenburg? Charles Haley or any of the aging Killer Bees? Except for Buffalo's Bruce Smith, nobody from the AFC belongs in that class. I think we're all getting tired of it," Mims said.

No, it is not the Badmin Badminton ton World Championships, it is the Superbowl. Based on the last few Superbowls, the NFL should think about changing the name of their championship game to the Boringbowl.

These boring games have lead to millions of viewers channel surf surfing ing by the end of the first quar quarter. ter.

This year's match up of the mighty San Fran Francisco cisco 49ers and the big time under underdog dog Sand Diego Chargers looks like it will be another chapter in the yawner Superbowls. So, why in the hell should we watch the game at all? Well, first off, the game starts with the score being tied, so the game has to be close. But, that can change very quickly, as the 49ers showed by scoring. 28 first quarter points in their drubbing of the Dallas Cow Cowboys boys two weeks ago. Still, there is hope for the millions of viewers watching the game. That hope comes in the form of new commer commercials. cials. Think about it.

The Bearcat's two victories moved their record to 4-1 in the conference, and 14-4 overall, as they prepare for two more conference games this weekend. Willamette's rematch with Northwest College looked to be a blowout on paper, and the Bearcats proved it was true on the court as well. The Bearcats jumped out to a 57-23 halftimc lead over Northwest College, who were minus two start starters, ers, and never looked back, winning 109-52. Willamette's 109 points broke the previous school record of 106 points in a 1985 game. Head Coach Paula Petrie liked the fact that her starters gained a large enough lead, so that the entire team could see some quality court time. "It gives us a chance to play our younger players," she said. She felt that her team will be much better down the road, if the entire team has quality playing experi experience. ence. Sophomore Traci Shepard lead the Bearcats, scoring 16 points from her off off-guard guard spot. Sophomore guard Kristy Ell Playi ng at Pacific is a tough place to play. We've got to be ready to run with them." Head Coach Paula Petrie chipped in 15 points, while junior center Saran Patillo grabbed 10 rebounds. Conference foe Pacific Lutheran came to town over the weekend, only to find a Bearcat squad that was on a roll. Willamette ended the first half with a 47-32 halftime lead, and went on to win their fourth Northwest Conference game, 78-65. Patillo threw in a career high 26 points, while sophomore guard Stacey Kruger added 14 points. Junior center Margaret Weber was the leading rebounder with 13. For her performance in both games, Patillo was selected as the Northwest Conference Player of the Week for the second time this season. She scored 45 points in only 60 min minutes, utes, by connecting on 17 of 20 field goal attempts. Patillo also had 20 rebounds and six steals in the Bearcats two victories. Sophomore center Jenny Joseph, along with Patillo, are leading the Northwest Con Conference ference in shooting percent percentage, age, and are nationally ranked 7th and 11th respectively. The Bearcats will try to improve on their three game winning streak, heading into a tough conference game at Pacific. Petrie felt that the up-tempo style of Pacific will be a tough challenge for the Bearcats. "Playing at Pacific is a tough place to play," she said. "We've got to be ready to run with them." After going two consecutive weekends with back-to-back games, the Bearcats will only face one opponent this weekend, in a 5:15 p.m. contest against conference oppo opponent nent Lewis & Clark, at Cone Fieldhouse.

Willamette is currently tied atop the Northwest Conference with their 4-1 record. They lead the conference in scoring margin (12.7), scoring defense (64.9), 3-point field goal percentage defense (.267), and field goal percentage (.449). The women will look to avenge their only conference loss when they take on co-league leader Whitworth Feb. 3. V NBA Legal Mumbo Jumbo Court rules antitrust laws don't count NEW YORK Antitrust laws cannot be used to stop the NBA or other employers from imposing work rules while a collective bar bargaining gaining relationship exists, a fed federal eral appellate court ruled Tuesday. The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals provided legal precedent for the NBA that will be used by major league baseball owners, who just imposed a salary cap in the absence of a new labor agreement. Baseball players want Congress to lift the owners' antitrust exemp tion, but Tuesday's decision, writ written ten by Judge Ralph Winter, could make the union decertify if players want to make an antitrust challenge. The court said the NBA's salary cap, college draft and right of first refusal don't violate antitrust laws. Antitrust laws don' t prohibit em employers ployers from bargaining jointly with a union, from implementing their joint proposals in the absence of a (contract) or from using economic force to obtain agreement to those proposals," the panel ruled. Jk V Jim 7- L V S J1 1 ' f The court noted in a 24-page ruling steeped in history that the players were arguing that multi multiemployer employer bargaining was illegal even though it had "prominently existed, grew and flourished" for 104 years without a challenge. The ruling drew cheers from the NBA but left players disappointed. They could just as well say GM, Chrysler and Ford can get together and dictate the terms they will pay welders to weld," union lawyer Rowan Wilson said. mm mm & wmm i 1uA 4 W COOK, mi w -mm mr iff!

This comes in addition to her be being ing named Northwest Conference of Independent Colleges Player of the Week. In three games Patillo scored 45 points on 1720 shooting from the field. She grabbed 20 rebounds, had six steals and committed only three turnovers. Patillo has been a force throughout the year. She ranks 9th in the NCIC in scoring with 1 3.3 Ptsgm, 6th in rebounding at 7.6, 5th in steals with 2.2 and 4th in blocks with 1.6. Head Women's Basketball Coach Paula Petrie said, "Saran brings an inside power game to the team. She's very strong and active both offensively and defensively. She has worked hard and put in a lot of extra time to become a better player." "Practicing hard and spending extra time after practice have been keys to my success this year," she said, " I like to work on things in practice that will help me become more successful in games." ' Sophmore Traci Shepard thinks she has been successful. "Saran's strength really adds to our game. She opens up the perimeter because defenses collapse on her." Game after game Patillo tries to do one thing. "I concentrate on playing tough defense whether I am on or off offensively." The rest of Patillo's season looks to be exciting. She hopes for the team to finish first in the conference and go to National Competition. additional awards nominees: Men's Basketball: Dave Snyder, senior Rugby: Mark Furman Crew: Zack Page I J imp, rr CUIEAP PAtititfZ starts at q nu. ca: - Z&js nov. sr. st 55 5- im vsr se & 6t T.

' j V Swimming Bearcats drop two conference meets , despite faster times by Carolyn Leary Staff Writer Both the men's and women's swimming teams lost double dual meets last weekend to Linfield College and the University of Puget Sound. The men were defeated 227-36 by UPS and 198-55 by Linfield. The women did not fare any better as they lost 186-66 to UPS and 153-100 to Linfield. The scores are not indicative of how the Bearcats swam according to head coach Skip Kenitzer. "We did not swim poorly by any means." Kenitzer said his first reaction was to wonder what they were doing wrong. He took a look at last year's times and saw that the team is swimming faster this year than last. Last year's women's team beat Linfield by one point for the conference title. Kenitzer also looked at the last ten days of practice. The Bearcats have not rested since they came back from winter break. There were bright spots at the meet. Kristi Erskine won the 1 650 freestyle and also qualified for nationals with a time of 18:26.97. Jean Orth captured two first place finishes in the 200 freestyle (2:03.01) and the 500 freestyle (5:21.43), while Danika Williams won the 100 freestyle in 56:53.
