Roommate exchange creates problems by Lydia Alexander Staff Writer The arrival of TIUA students has created housing frustrations for Willamette students. This year, fewer Willamette students have in indicated dicated an interest in being a part of the TIUA roommate exchange pro program. gram. In response, the Office of Residence Life (ORL) has required many students with vacancies in their rooms for Spring semester to accept a TIUA roommate. In an address made to the ASWU Senate meeting last week, Rich Shintaku, Dean of Residence Life, said the Supreme Court justice espouses civil rights by Charlotte Jones Staff Writer To Cruz Reynoso civil rights is not a buzz-word. The term is a re recurring curring image in just about every aspect of his life. Reynoso has examined and evaluated the idea of civil rights from the viewpoint of a lawyer, a California Supreme Court justice, a government fact-finder and a com community munity worker. Thursday night he took the po podium dium at the College of Law to share his insight with the Willamette com community. munity. Reynoso's talk celebrated Mar Martin tin Luther King Day with a speech on extending Luther's dream into the present, 27 years after his death. He wondered if Luther's dream would include the modern ideas of civil rights and affirmative action. To start off his discussion Reynoso drew upon his years of experience and sought to formulate a definition for affirmative action. He points out that the ideas of affir affirmative mative action and civil rights have critics. "They believe that what is being done in the name of civil shed light V. i Office of Residence Life had im imposed posed restrictions on student moves in order to accommodate the arriv arriving ing TIUA students.

He believes critics see affirmative action as a concept which seeks to alleviate discrimination to a certain group by bringing it upon another. Therefore, Reynoso's final defini definition tion of affirmative action does not include the idea of preference, but rather the concept of fairness. "Af "Affirmative firmative action to me has always been about fairness to everyone," he said. Reynoso also discussed whether fairness could really be attained when the minorities who seek it have been treated so unfairly in the past. He wondered how concerned we should be about repairing the harm that has already been done. "If wmTiagBs..

He believes affirmative action should also be incorporated into the work place. The process will be much smoother, he points out, if the debate over merit and equality is clearly based on fairness, and not preference. "If the debate is simply framed in terms of who's getting more, then any notion of action will be also," he said. He believes fairer actions in the work place are the first steps in bringing about change. "Hopefully minds will change after actions change."

Jerry Kleehammcr contends he was fired in December by his bosses at the state Department of Health and Rehabilitative Services' on-site sewage program because of a whistle-blower complaint he filed. On Oct. 18, 1993, Kleehammer formally alleged that a contractor had botched a $500,000 project in the Tampa area to measure how sewage effluent from septic tanks pollutes groundwater. An estimated 40,000 to 60,000 septic tanks are installed annually in Florida.

Compiled from Collegian wire services News February 3, 1995 The Collegian Drag Show bends perspectives for UGP month by Heather C. Anderson Staff Writer The Second Annual Drag Show and Dance, sponsored by Under Under-standing standing Gender Perspectives (UGP) Jnd the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual Al Alliance liance (LGBA), highlights Willamette's participation in Under Understanding standing Gender Perspectives month. Last year's Drag Show and Dance was enormously successful, according to organizers. "It was fan fantastic," tastic," said Kendra Speirs. "We didn' t expect a very good turnout for some reason. We were a little apprehensive. ..tons of people showed up though. It was great. ,'iSUGP) has been doing a lot with publicity so that this year we can have an even better turnout." "We had expected may be 1 00 to 175 people to attend and we had a considerable amount more, so there were actually people standing dur during ing the performance part of it," said Josh Ganz, member of both UGP and LGBA. "I was surprised to find that people dance at Willamette," he said. The event, which starts tonight at 8 p.m. in the Cat Cavern, will feature live performances by drag queens as well as music provided by KJAM. Another component of the Drag Show and Dance will be the drag contest, in which costumed partici participants pants arejudged and may win prizes, including the firstplaceprize, which is dinner for two at Sneaker's. "Last year we had free soda and popcorn. This year we'll have mocktails and a greater variety of snacks, all free, as it was last year," said Ganz. "It was one of those once-in-a-lifetime experiences. Heels are pain painful, ful, though. I had to adjust myself all night," said Derek Hevel, who at attended tended last year' s show with a group from Shepherd House. "Once we all started dressing up, people we would have never thought would dress up started dress dressing ing up too, and were really getting into it. It was really cool," said Sarah Kimball. "I think we learned a lot from the experience, like, the men didn't know about the makeup stuff and I didn't know how to do the tie thing," said Christy Montgomery. "The guys didn't know how to walk right or anything," said Mont Montgomery. gomery. "Derek was really good, though. His outfit was wow." Jeremy Teissere, who attended last year's Drag Show, is master of ceremonies this year. He said that he is basically announcing events this year, such as the performances and the awards. "I recognized so much of myself in my persona last year that I der cided to go again," said Teissere of last year's event. "I went with a group from York Hall. We got all gussied up in York and went over and we were late so we missed the drag queens do their show," said junior Ethan Frey. Frey said that he and a few of his friends entered the drag contest, which included walking down the catwalk. "All the judges were RDs. The professional drag queens that were there would interfere for the better every once in a while," said Frey. He mentioned that one of the drag queens would put something on the catwalk so that a contestant had to pick it up, because, as Frey noted, "There are definitely mascu masculine line ways to pick things up, and feminine ways to pick things up. That was just his way of evaluating everyone, I think." "All of the drag queens seemed really cool," said Frey. "One of the (drag queen's) moms was in the au audience dience and she was so cool . She was, like, 80 years old and she was this funky old lady. She didn't have any problem with her son being in the program." Frey not only attended last year' s Drag Show, but won an award for his costume. "I got a gift certificate to Rosebud and Fish," said Frey, who attended with his girlfriend, Dianne Criswell. "I was wearing a black velvet dress that I borrowed... I wore Dianne's Mary Janes (shoes) and tights and she curled my hair." "Some people think that it will be too outrageous," said Ganz, who arrived to last year's show wearing a white baby doll dress with white heels and gloves. "That's the im impression pression I get from some people, that it's not their cup of tea. I don't think that it will be too outrageous for anyone, actually. I hope that people will come and learn about something that's not familiar to them." Ganz said that drag has a long history, originating in the days of Shakespeare, when only males were allowed to perform on stage. Males played female roles on a regular basis. The only reason why the Drag Show and Dance is an "event," ac according cording to Ganz, "is because there aren't too many people who go drag on a daily basis." "I hope that the people that are unsure about the whole thing will come and see and learn something from it. One can still observe and learn, then leave if they don't like it," Ganz added. Coercion and consent discussed in seminar by Heather C. Anderson Staff Writer As part of Understanding Gender Per Perspectives spectives Month, Residence Life and the Womyn's Center sponsored a presentation entitled "How to Be a Good Lover: Gender, Sex, and Communication." "I would say it's exciting to see a group of students who are genuinely interested in hav having ing respectful relationships. It is exciting to me that people are interested," said Assistant Director of Residence Life Marilyn Derby, rwho presented the program, held Wednesday night at 7 p.m. in the Hatfield Room. "I think it demonstrates to me that the guys who come are willing to explore and to step outside the bundaries traditionally set for them, and I applaud them." Shirley Thomas, an RA from Kaneko, Organized the event. Part of Thomas's job description as an RA is that she must organize some sort of educational program. She thought that the presentation not only fulfilled her educational program requirement but fit nicely into the other scheduled Understanding Gen- Residence Life and the Womyn's Center co-sponsored Wednesday's program. der Perspectives activities. "I thought that it fit into the Gender Per Perspectives spectives month really well," said Thomas. "I'd seen Marilyn put on a similar presenta presentation tion before.

Usually, I think that people put this in the back of their minds and they don't think about it much. This way they can hear about it and think about it more. I think it went okay. We got about 18 to 19 people, and for a weekday, that's pretty good." Men's forum draws few by Joe Findling Editor In a week full of events making a campus-wide effort to educate about rape, men were offered one event exclu exclusively sively for them. Private counselor Ben Coleman led the "Men's Forum" on Thursday in the Goudy Wilson Room. Six Willamette men attended the event over lunch, a small turnout given the potential for the forum. Initially, Coleman noted that "men tend to rape for other men," in order to prove their masculinity. The group was encouraged to talk about past experi experiences ences or thoughts about anything he brought up. Coleman also noted the role drugs and alcohol play in rape. A "Men's Lunch" featuring Coleman is now meeting once a month and open to all men. The first one will be held at 1 1 :30 a.m. on March 2.

The inefficiencies of the Residence Life Office have resulted in a lot of unhappy students on campus, whose campus housing has been disrupted by the poorly run program. Residence Life has made a lot of enemies this semes semester ter with students who, for one reason or another, found themselves roommate-less. While Residence Life staff encouraged students to fill out a roommate preference card, even students who indicated explicitly that they didn't want to live with a TIUA student have been placed with Japanese room roommates. mates. In addition, some students who have hosted a TIUA student in the past are being forced to host one again. Living with a foreign student has its rewards, but it is often more work than living with an American student. It is unreasonable to expect one student to host foreign students more than once, unless the student requests a TIUA student again. This semester, some students on campus have been prevented from choosing their own roommates by crack cracking ing down on student moves at the semester. While the housing contract states tnat students have the option of choosing a new roommate when there is a vacancy in their room, this option has been denied to students in order to make Residence Life's job easier. Dean of Residence Life Rich Shintaku even men mentioned tioned at Senate recently that part of the reason Residence Life tightened the housing contracts at the semester was to prevent students without roommates from moving in together; by not allowing students to move, Residence Life guaranteed certain spots for TIUA students. This strategy exemplifies Residence Life's absurd approach to student housing - they seem to think that if they can just make all the numbers work, then everything will be fine. Unfortunately, just having the right amount of American and TIUA students to match together will not guarantee a good situation. Apparently Residence Life is more concerned with policy than with student satisfaction. Placing TIUA room roommates mates where they are not wanted takes for granted the rights of both parties. The Willamette student will be unhappy with the situation, and the TIUA student will undoubtedly have a difficult experience. Furthermore, the fact that so few Willamette students wish to host TIUA students is an administrative problem; it means that something needs to be done to improve the roommate program. In a program where students consis consistently tently have positive experiences, hosting foreign stu students dents could be a popular opportunity. Since this is clearly not the case, Residence Life has some reevaluating to do. Instead, Residence Life has unfairly turned the dilemma into a student problem, by forcing students to host TIUA roommates, even when the students made a point of requesting otherwise.

My dismay was initiated last fall when information about how to get on the ballot was posted on a single banner outside the lower floor of the UC only two days before nominations were due. I picked up my nomination ma materials, terials, but was unable to complete them in time for the deadline. Nev Nevertheless, ertheless, my name was put on the ballot. Apparently I wasn't the only one who had difficulties complet completing ing the materials in the allotted time, because no one else turned in their nomination packet either. The of officers ficers decided to put the names of every person who had checked out a nomination form on the ballot; there were no contested positions. Is it any wonder that no one knew what any of the candidates had to offer? The elections last term were held on a Monday; the first school day after the nomina nominations tions were due and before the paper had an opportunity to review the candidates for the voters. I didn't even know my name was on the ballot until I went to vote and saw it there. Seeing the apparent futility of the issue, I accepted my election and served my term. This term, I personally informed the ASWU of office fice that I would not run again; however, they still managed to bungle the elections. This time they allowed on-campus students to vote in the off-campus elections! (Need I say that wars have been fought over issues like this?) Now I am not allowed to vote for any of the representatives that serve the halls, sororities or frater fraternities; nities; nor am I allowed to attend their hall meetings and tell their Senators how to represent me. Yet I would not be surprised if an analy analysis sis of the votes cast for off-campus representation revealed that more on-campus students than off-campus students voted. Those elections are totally illegitimate! Is it any wonder why our stu students dents don' t care about what ASWU does any more!?! If we are not even allowed to select our own Senators, how can we feel enfranchised? If nomination materials are made available only two days before they are due, how can we be expected to Erik Holm Editor in Chief Gabrielle Byrd Managing Editor Ryan Teague Beckwith News Editor Jennifer Lynn Miller Sports Editor Sarah RoseZollner Features Editor Joe Findling Copy Editor Dan Metz Copy Editor Christopher Ames Advertising Manager Mark Friel Darkroom Manager Andrew Bernhard Campus Events Editor qualify? If there is no forum pro provided vided to review candidates and their positions prior to elections, how can constituents be expected to know who to vote for? And consid considering ering all of these issues, how can the Senators be expected to be account accountable able to their constituency? The off-campus population does not have the opportunity to discuss issues within a centrally located, closed community such as a resi residence dence hall. We are spread out, and we move back and forth from our homes to the campus on totally ir irregular regular schedules. I know as well as anyone the difficulties associated with the dilemma; I transferred from a campus where 97 percent of the students commuted, 30 percent lived in other communities, and about ten percent only attended extension schools in other towns. We worked with those prob problems, lems, we established strategies on how to get students involved, and we spent money to be sure and get the information out to them. Our efforts paid off; we ended up with every elected office contested and the highest voter turnout the school had seen in 14 years. The ASWU officers may find off-campus elections difficult to deal with, but they have a responsi responsibility bility to take the problem seriously ! I would like to remind them that we pay our student fees too, and our constituency makes up a larger por portion tion of their funding than any single hall. When I am forced to pay $90.00 a year to support an institu institution tion that doesn't represent the inter interests ests of my constituency, I get pissed ! This is not a game! You are our voice, and without our voice you are nothing. Get it in gear. Mac Rinehart ASWU amendment not pointless change Dear Editor, I am writing in response to the editorial on page 4 of last Friday's paper entitled "Amendment point pointless." less." If the ASWU officers and Senate thought this amendment was pointless, it would not have passed through the ASWU Senate. This was not something that the ASWU officers dreamed up. In April of 1993, a senator and a stu student dent presented the ASWU Senate with a resolution, which they passed, urging the restructuring of ASWU. We are following through on their recommendation one section at a time. We did not create the legisla legislation, tion, students did, and it is ourjob to see that those concerns are ad addressed. dressed. The amendment does more than change officer titles and "tinker with job descriptions." The Constitution was out of date with what the offic officers ers really do in their jobs; it is ap appropriate propriate and necessary to update the information. The new titles ac accurately curately reflect the duties of each officer and benefits students by giv giving ing them a better understanding c what each officer does. These changes will also benefit students at election time. Students who are running will have a better idea of what their role will be and how they are responsible to the stu dents. The description addition show that the Vice President does more than plan movies, the Secre Secretary tary really does have responsibili responsibilities, ties, and the Treasurer should be doing more than just handing out money. This is only one step in the pro process cess of dealing with a resolution that is designed to make ASWU more effective. If you have a con concern, cern, tell your senator or talk to an officer. You elect your senators to represent you - tell them how yoj want to be represented, give your input or come to Senate yourself. This amendment is only one ex example ample of how we are trying to ad address dress the issues that students bring to us. t BrioneBerneche ASWU Secretary Professor apologizes for Theatre cat, Mr. O'Leas Dear Editor, ' I am commenting on a situation which evolved recently. The per perspective spective is mine alone and does not represent the perspective of other Theatre faculty nor of the student body at large. In October of 1994 I began to care for a (pathetic looking and un unhealthy) healthy) stray cat which wandered into the Kresge Playhouse lobby. Apparently the cat, henceforth known as Mr. Toff O'Leas, had been roaming campus since at leas . late August. At a general meeting of Theatre students and Theatre faculty I asked if anyone would object to Mr. O'Leas becoming "the Theatre cat" and spending most of his time on the premises. I stated I would over' see Mr. O'Leas well being in the building until such time as any indi individual vidual contacted me that they were having adifficulty with this arrange arrangement. ment.

Three o' clock in the ?!& morning, the night before my earliest class, is not a good time to ask me for emotional support. Not that the problem was entirely mine. The caller himself was not in a state which could be considered ripe for counseling. In fact, he could hardly form a complete sentence. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, this was the "you-ruined-my-life-and-I-hate-you-but-let's-get-back-together-after-I've- finished- venting-all-my-hostility" call. Most of us have experienced the maudlin breakup call. Usu Usually ally it strikes when we least ex expect pect it, which is directly after a highly successful and uplifting discussion culminating m "let's be friends." (The fact that those three words generally follow the second most overused three in the language is not for me to question.) I accept the inevita inevitability bility of the lovehate phone call, and can even understand why it must be made when the caller cannot be haunted later by any recollection of it whatsoever. I must, though, ask why is it that we always say we want to be friends just when we least, and I mean LEAST, mean anything of the sort? I, for example, have never felt it necessary to walk up to my friend Augusta and say "let's be friends." It is simply assumed Reform government, Allow me to begin this column in a rather unusual fashion: I would like to address the title of my last column (two weeks ago). If anyone happened to see it, the title as printed ?ad, "Value Ability, Diversity." Well, anyone who actually read the column quickly realized that the title indicated just about the oppo opposite site of the opinion which the col column umn voiced. Some misled individu individu-s, s, having read the title, probably were looking forward to reading more PC drivel about the high value of ethnic diversity. Much to the surprise of these individuals, they found themselves reading drivel of another kind altogether. My sug sug-stion stion for the title was "Value Ability, NOT diversity." I under understand stand that the editors of this fine paper have spacial considerations to bear in mind in titling articles. I just wanted to clear things up a bit. Now, I proceed to this week's ivel. Campaign finance reform is all the rage in America today. At least, everyone is talking about it, and supposedly the people want it. So, why hasn't it been legislated on a large scale yet? There is the most 'tten refcrred-to answer which at attributes tributes the inaction to the desire of politicians to continue lining their pockets with special interest money. This may be part of it. However, the main reason is that campaign fi finance nance reform, in its popular forms, vv ill not work. It does not address the root of the problem. Let us look at some reasons WHY there is so much special interest money in American politics. Special interests are willing to ?cnd large sums of money on poli that we are friends to begin with. The last time a stranger, on the other hand, asked point blank to be my friend, he had to be carted off for The Innocent I hi mmmmimmmmmmuasmmmmmimm asm Heather Hovde indecent exposure. "Let's be friends" is only used to offer friendship to people we would rather a) cany off to para paradise, dise, orb) kick down to somewhere else. What makes this amazing is that both involved parties are fully aware of this fact, and simply offer friendship because neither one wants to be the immature psychotic who can't let go. I don't believe there's no hope at all forsincere reconciliation, only that a large percentage of people only experience this while walking on water, holding the winni ng Lotto ticket. Those people need some something thing other than jumping straight into friendship (the lack of which probably broke up the relationship in the first place). Instead of striving immediately for health and maturity in their rela relationships, tionships, broken couples should start with smaller gestures, such as "I guess I'll put the rope and gun away for tonight," or "I promise not to have Guido rough up your par parents." ents." From there they could move on to correspondence, (censored by a third party, of course) supervised, one minute phone calls, and per perhaps haps even stilted attempts at small ticians because politicians control huge sums of money, as well as the regulatory mechanisms in this coun country. try. Maybe it will help if we pretend The Liberty Bell Jeffrey T. Eager a little bit. Let's pretend that I own a company. This company pays taxes, a lot of them. When I see my money, as well as that of other indi individuals, viduals, being spent to subsidize this company, or bail out that com company, pany, I want a share of my money, our money, back. So, I hire a lobby lobbyist, ist, give him a fat budget and tell him to bring home the bacon. The same rationale applies to govern governmental mental regulations; I don't want to be regulated any more than neces necessary, sary, so I will try to influence legis legislation lation to that end. All of the compet competing ing companies are doing the same; if I don't, I will go bankrupt. The economic survival of my company hinges upon my ability to influence legislation. In such a situation, of course I will use money to influence law. Special interest spending on politics is a function of the power government has obtained in this country, and in this state. If the government did not control huge sums of money, there would be no incentive for businesses and other groups to attempt to affect legisla legislation. tion. So, why is special interest in influence fluence such a concern? It is an abridgment of democracy . It allows for the political representation of citizens based upon finances, rather than basic suffrage. This is danger talk in the UC. At no time should the wounded parties attempt to see one another privately, as this can send the reconciliation back to stage one and could, without intervnetion, even continue re regression gression to Stone Age clubbing. Not that direct contact is never to be advocated. After an extended time abroad or gradua graduation tion from schools in different states, many couples find talk talking ing in private quite gratifying and simple. Of course, this is only possible assuming that they avoid all references to their past together and never, ever attempt to decide just whose fault it was that they broke up in the first place. This can lead right back to step one and the cave people. If followed to the letter, these simple steps can revolutionize the face of relationship ending. With care, all broken up persons can avoid the secret bad-mouthing, veiled barbs, and outright harassment that plague modern college campuses. Just thi nk ho w easy life would be if we could walk away with a handshake and a sigh. Just think how incredibly insecure and unfulfilled we would feel if our relationship could not reduce the other party to unwashed, black-sweatsuited despair. I mean, it's perfectly all right if I'm not that committed, but if he thinks he's going to get off that easy, he's got another thing coming! Maybe I'd better plug the phone back in... not PACs ous in a democracy. However, under the current welfare state, special interest repre representation sentation fulfills an important pur purpose. pose. It is the only means by which certain groups can protect them themselves selves from regulation, and outright theft by the government. Statist Big Government has thus impaired democracy by forcing groups to lobby for a living in order to survive. Only by destroying Big Government can we hope to allevi alleviate ate the democratic friction caused by special interests. Recently, Oregon has dabbled in the field of campaign finance reform. Laws are now in place which limit the contributions PACs (Political Action Committees) can make to campaign funds, as well as a law which disallows the contribu contribution tion of money to Oregon campaigns from sources outside the district in question. Neither of these remedies will affect special interest influence in this state. As in the past, special interests will merely find ways around the laws. The only way in which to diminish the influence of special interests is to downsize gov government. ernment. If the government con controls trols less money, and regulates less, interest groups will cease to con concern cern themselves with the legislative process. Oregon is known as a po politically litically "clean state" largely be because cause we have had a relatively small, unintrusivc state government. How However, ever, as the stakes of politics in this state have risen, so have the amounts of money in politics. Special inter interest est spending is the result of Big Government.

Every other week, I leech onto a topic and jab at it sarcastically until I've got 500 words - then slap on a conclusion and go to press. I would like to take this oppor opportunity tunity to talk to you about a very serious problem facing the Willamette student today. No, I am not speaking of the evil done by the administration, nor am I trying to get you to try harder drugs, I am talking about homework. At first the whole concept sounds absurd, and I realize this. How could something as simple and innocent as homework threaten cos cosmic mic peace? Unfortunately, my friends, the reasons are many - the problem is real. Perhaps the single biggest prob problem lem with homework today is that it is degrading to students and detri detrimental mental to their self esteem. Studies show that when teachers assign homework, students automatically assume that their performance in class that day has been below par. Several factors indicate that because of this, homework is directly linked to 98 of all college suicides. Not only can homework be deadly to students, it reflects poorly on teachers as well. When a teacher assigns homework, that teacher makes a symbolic statement. Pa Pathetic thetic as it may seem, that statement is this: "Class, I am inadequate as an instructor. I use class time poorly and frivolously. I cannot teach you the specified subject in the required time. I am a failure as a human being. Please forgive me by taking time out to do this assignment S'. that you can succeed where I can but fail." While initially, it is disturbing to think of our teachers saying'such things, eventually we come to terms with this sobering truth. By repeat repeatedly edly assigning homework, teachers merely prove their worthlessness Freshman impressed with fraternity rush Dear Editor, As a freshman that rushed in the Pledge Class of 1994-95, 1 want to take this time to thank the Fraterni Fraternities ties as well as the Greek System of Willamette University for a won wonderful derful Rush. I went to all of the different Fraternity Houses, and all of the Members of the Fraternities as well as the Houses' Alumni treated my friends and I in an excel excellent lent manner. No matter which House I went to, I was treated with respect and I left each Fraternity with a wonder wonderful ful impression of the Greek system. If this is what the Fraternity System is like, I believe that instead of slow slowing ing down, the Greek System at Willamette University will continue at a greater pace; and it will con continue tinue a( that pace for many years to come.

Homework, as it is assigned now by teachers across the globe on a daily basis, is a threat to the sanctity of human life and a colossal waste of time. If it was not for all of the homework that I have to deal with, I could be out volunteering in the greater Salem community ; painting churches, working in soup kitch kitchens, ens, or building houses for the home homeless. less. Homework prevents me from doing all these things, and I am not alone in my inconvenience. It is readily apparent that home homework work threatens life and is a detri detriment ment to society as a whole, but still it is doled out on a regular basis. One can only ask, why? Luckily, there is a logical (albeit funky) ex explanation: planation: All teachers are aliens from outer space, sent here to infil infiltrate trate our society and corrupt us from within until we are in utter panic, then the flying saucers will come and ugly creatures will hop out and feed on our fat virgin brains. I know it sounds incredible, but there is hope for humanity: I am your savior. If you send me $5 1 will tell you how to survive the alien invasion that currently threatens the entire planet.

Not only do they serve as a home away from home for the students, but they act as guides to the sights, culture and lifestyle that is so foreign and new to the visitors. by James Fujita Contributor When the new batch of Tokyo International University of America, TIUA, students arrive next Monday to Willamette University, they may feel confused or out of place as they enter into this new, strange and alien place. However, thanks to a simplepro simplepro-gram, gram, they will not be without friends and family away from their real home. Along with the many new friends they will undoubt undoubtedly edly gain at Willamette University, each new TIUA student will also receive a Tomodachi Family. Playing a somewhat simi lar role as homestay fami families lies in other foreign study programs, Tomodachi Families are families from within the Salem community who will act as guides to the Ameri American can culture, which they could find confusing, and as a home away from home for the Japanese newcomers. The Tomodachi (which means "friend" in Japanese) friendship pro program gram was started by the Salem Salem-Kawagoe Kawagoe Sister Cities Inc. in 1989, as a way to help create a link be between tween the Japanese students and the Salem community. It also is used to teach Ameri Americans cans about the Japanese culture as well as to help out the TIUA stu students dents with their adjustment and visit in a new country. Because they stay on campus with a Willamette University room roommate mate during the spring and winter, these students miss out on a lot of the daily activities that many exchange students receive while living with a homestay family abroad, according to TIUA Director of Student Affairs Marty White. Every year, TIUA invites local community members to participate in the program, with the only major requirement being that they live in a traditional or non-traditional family environment. The Tomodachi Program gives the TIUA students a chance to par participate ticipate in family events while in America, and gives the Tomodachi family a perspective on the Japanese lifestyle. The Japanese students are treated as guests, and what each family does with their student varies from fam family ily to family.

Over the past two years, they have had three TIUA students, and this year they are expecting a fourth, Masako, whom they first met when they volunteered as "tour guides" for a high school exchange program which was arranged by TIUA. "She was so impressed at the things she saw. ...She wanted to come back. We asked if we could be her Tomodachi family," said Steve Fosdick. When the Fosdick family went to Pasadena last year, they took their TIUA student, Shimichi, with them, spending 10 days of "fun-time" go going ing to Disneyland, Mexico, watch watching ing the Rose Parade, and stopping in San Francisco on the way back. In 1993, the Fosdick family vis visited ited Hiroshima for three weeks, which allowed them to visit some of the people they had met in America.

Sesquicentennial campaign exceeds goal by $12 million by Andrew Nagappan Contributor In the largest and most compre comprehensive hensive fundraising endeavor, Willamette announced that "A Ses Sesquicentennial quicentennial Campaign for Future Generations" reached a record $62 million. The campaign began in 1989 in anticipation of the 150th anniver anniversary sary of its Feb.l, 1842 founding. ' ' With an eye toward ensuring ex excellence cellence in the institution's future, the endowment will receive $23 mil million, lion, while $23 million will go to toward ward new and renovated facilities. $16 million is set aside to support the General Operation Budget. The funds will create endowed chairs in music, public policy, lit literature, erature, American history and mi microbiology. crobiology. It will help establish the Long Writing Center, special pro programs grams such as the Carson Under Undergraduate graduate Student Research Program, which is named after Julie Ann Carson who was CLA Dean until last year, and support the Science Equipment Initiative. The Long Writing Center is named after alumni Bill and Kay Long who have given a stock gift to Willamette University, which could grow into over $4 mil million. lion. The endowed scholarship funds will be increased by another $10 million. Besides these additions, Sparks Center will have new class classrooms rooms and exercise facilities. Vice President for University Relations Barbara Mahoney said, "Alumni support is the backbone of "Willamette's fundraising efforts. The percentage and amount of alumni giving are figures corpora corporations tions and foundations look at closely when they consider making major grants. And those figures provide critical momentum to the every day efforts we made to raise funds for the University." It is reported that more than 8,500 Willamette alumni already have sup supported ported the Sesquicentennial Cam Campaign. paign. "There has been strong and grow growing ing alumni support and loyalty," said President Jerry E. Hudson. Howard and Mary Runkel were among them. They commented, "While our schol scholarship arship may not be full tuition, we hope they will make a difference for some students who need the help." The motto of the campaign, "For Future Generations" came from a quote by the Reverend Alvan F. Waller who, when asked more than 120 years ago why he refused to accept a $700 annual salary for his work as construction supervisor and fundraiser for the building now called Waller Hall, responded, "I am work working ing for future generauons!"The:carn generauons!"The:carn-paign paign was indeed a challenge.

The Chronicle of Education ranked Willamette University 157th in endowments among the country's more than 3,000 colleges. However, among comparable schools in the Pacific Northwest, Willamette's en-fc dowment is the third largest. As of May 31, 1993 the endowment has a total market value of $ 100,869,000.

Gray also shared his vision of the road "Toward a Non Non-Violent Violent Economics." Everyone alive today is facing an economic crisis, Gray explained. There are people in the world who are forced to go without proper food, clothes; and health care. The cur current rent global economic system in which "millions die from lack of food to eat.. .is a violent economic system." The problem with current eco economic nomic policies is that the wealth of the world is unevenly distributed. According to Gray's statistics, which were measured in purchas purchasing ing power parity dollars, one fifth of the world's population is living well, while the other four fifths are living in poverty. Anyone making above $7656 a year is considered to be among the upper 20 percent while the lowest 20 percent of people averages only $463 a year. The problem of wealth distribu distribution tion has progressively worsened ASWU Senate Report Thanks to the actions of some very hardworking people behind the Willamette scene, the incoming freshmen and women of 1995-96 will have no annual hike of their tuition-it will rest at $16,400. Un Unfortunately, fortunately, the rest of us will be paying for their privilege. As it stands now, there will be a 4.1 increase in next year's tuition, with much more to come. Interestingly, a Senior noted that this is the lowest raise she has seen in all her years at Willamette.

To illustrate the point, Gray used a roll of tape to show the "rich-poor gap." On the tape, a few inches were given representing the poorest fifth of the world population.

Gray cited soil damage and over-fishing as examples of eco ecological logical destruction. He also added that according to the 1972 book Beyond the Limits, if humans continue to increase con consumption sumption at their present rate be between tween 2020 and 2040 there will be a major ecological crisis in which half of the global population might die of starvation. "We have got to pull in our demands on the environment," he emphasized. Gray explained that the three major crisises facing the world to today day are economic injustice, ecologi ecological cal destruction, and a "run-away in industrial dustrial system." He characterized the twentieth century as one of greed and said that the twenty-first century must be a century of healing. Humans must reduce their con consumption sumption and share their wealth with those who have never had a chance to achieve what they can. Gray ex explained plained that in the future "We need to treasure nature and we need to treasure each other.. .and that is the hope that we have to act on." after senatorial approval of this week's proposed allocations, ap approximately proximately $4800 would be left in unallocated student funds. She noted that this figure was most likely greater than this due to higher en enrollment rollment in the Spring semester. Al Allocations locations to different organizations was as follows: Phi Alpha Delta, $128 (full amount requested); Un Understanding derstanding Gender Perspectives, $325 (full amount); Operation Dream, $1000 (half of funds re requested); quested); and Women's Indoor Soc Soccer, cer, $300 (requested $425). Two pieces of legislation came to Senate this week; the first dealt with student use of University facili facilities, ties, the second with the formal re restructuring structuring of the Programming Board; both were sponsored by Vice President Smith. The first presented was a resolution stating ASWU's support in student groups and their right to use Brown Field and the Quad for their activities. Since this is a bill amend ASWU bylaws, it will have to be passed twice by Senate. This week it narrowly passed; next week shall be the true test of this bill.

Willamette alumnus Chiharu Sai instigated a bake sale that raised over $400 last Friday. Sai, a 1994 graduate, said that her sister, a student at Evergreen State College, was a participant in a bake sale effort there. Sai decided to hold the sale last Wednesday and Willamette students donated various baked goods in an effort to raise funds for the victims of the earthquake, which left over 500 citizens dead and hundreds of thousands displaced. Matthews Senator Gar Willoughby, who sponsored the senate resolution to raise funds, said that approxiamately 30 people manned tables in both Goudy and the mailroom beginning Monday. The money-raising efforts officially end today, with over $338 earned through Thursday. The combined funds will be donated to the Hyogo Rescue Fund, a branch of the American Red Cross located in New York. Funds will then be transferred to the Japanese Red Cross, which will determine how to allocate the student donations.

A Heart-Healthy Lifestyle When you're young and none of your friends are dropping dead, you have a tendency to feel you're immortal. This is our problem. If you aren't leading a heart-healthy life-style, at least find out and stop fooling yourself. Dr. William Castelli, M.D. cardiologist and director of the Framingham Heart Study wants every American man to know these three risk factors: high levels of cholesterol, smoking and high blood pressure. Those three factors increase risk of heart attack more than 500. But in Dr. Castelli's opinion the greatest cardiac threat seems to be cholesterol. Do you have a basic knowledge of cholesterol? What about stress? Stress appears to be a contributing factor in cholesterol levels, particularly in the form of hostility experienced by some hard hard-driving driving Type-A men. If you carry around a lot of cynicism, sport a short-fuse and have a hard time trusting people, these could be danger signals. Are you the slow-burn, mutter-under-your-breath, in-the-express-lane variety? There is evidence now that large amounts of hormones are produced, stimulating the release of fat from tissues, and then actually converting it to cholesterol. So what in the world should you ao about all this stuff? College is a stressful time, and many college students have familial history of heart disease. So, are we all doomed? Not at all! And Bishop Memorial Health Center is here to help! Information is available about diet, stress-reduction, and cholesterol. Bishop Health Center can help you stop smoking. Appointments can be made to evaluate your cardiac situation and if necessary, blood drawn to check cholesterol levels. Referrals to cardiologists can be made if neces necessary, sary, blood pressures can be monitored. Bishop Health Center is ready to help prevent your becoming a statistic.

With a rythmic back background, ground, the song sounded much like Jeff Heally. It is the only song that is memo memorable rable on an otherwise forgettable CD.

'Mice and Men' to perform at regional theatre festival by Erin Duffy Contributor The cast and ere w of Of Mice and Men will bask in more than their allotted 15 minutes of limelight next Thursday, when they perform at the 1995 American College Theatre Fes Festival tival (ACTF). Of Mice and Men was one of four college productions se selected lected from colleges in six North Northwestern western states, marking the third time a Willamette play has participated in the ACTF. Of Mice and Men was chosen through a long process beginning last fall, when two evaluators critiqued a performance and then interviewed the cast. In late November, an ACTF committee watched a video of the performance and added its comments to the original critique. According to the evaluation re returned turned to the Theatre Department, "The work of a skilled group of young actors is the most memorable aspect of this performance." "My feeling is that it's very, very solid in all aspects of performance," said Director Andrew Apter. "I think it's great that other people are recog your sleeve special message in the Collegian. or just surprise a friend That is not to say it is without worth. I believe many people would like this particular style of acoustic blues, in particular, people who like folk music. It is raw and without the imag imagery ery and technological trappings of other contemporary bands. Although I have not heard tpo many country blues bands, I do think I can say that this CD is not a prime example of country blues done well. It lacked the type of feeling found in most blues, and I guess it was this feeling that I was looking for. The Trio's CD did have it's good points, such as simplicity, rythm, and decent guitar playing. Most of that was contained in the first track, but those points were there.

Although the competitive as aspect pect of the festival is downplayed, five plays from a total of nine regions across the U.S. will be selected to perform in Washington D.C. The play will be evaluated a final time on Fri Friday day to determine if it qualifies to go to nationals. After the passage of so many months without performing the play, cast and crew need to work hard to get back into the rhythm. "We can't just go on memory, we need to make this very new and fresh," said Apter. Added difficulties include mak making ing the set work in a new space and performing in front of a new audi audience. ence.

Chicago comedy troupe to appear by MacCormac Rinehart Contributor Even if you don't think Valentine's Day is a joke, there will be at least one good reason to laugh this year. The Second City comedy company will be performing for the Willamette community Feb. 14 in Smith Auditorium. An affiliate of The Second City Comedy Club in Chicago, the touring company is-a breeding ground for for-many many famous comedians. Former members of The Second City include Mike Myers, Dan Aykroyd, John Belushi, Jim Belushi, Martin Short, Gilda Radner, Bill Murray and Joan Rivers. Sophmore Kari Raze, the event organizer, described the performance as "a lot like Saturday Night Live" with a strong emphasis on audience participation. Considering the casts' former line-up, that is not hard to imagine. Since 1959, The Second City comedy club has been heralded as a prominent force in the medium of improvisational comedy. Two years after opening their doors in Chicago, popular demand brought The Second City to its New York debut at the Royale Theatre, i . Following that performance. The Second City began touring across the United States, and in Canada and England. The Second City's suc successful cessful track record eventually led to the opening of new companies in New Orleans, Los Angeles and Toronto. During this period Second City TV also began broadcasting. In 1981 the program was picked up by NBC and broadcast across the country. - In 1967, The Second City Na National tional Touring Company was formed, and it is the prodigy of that company which will be visiting the Willamette Campus.

However, that still leaves a small percentage of students who decide not to continue their educa education tion and either drop out or transfer to another institution. Upon examination, the reasons that students leave Willamette and the reasons transfer students choose Willamette, are extremely varied. According to Tod Massa, As Assistant sistant Registrar for Institutional Research, most colleges "would die to have Willamette's retainment rate." Out of 474 first time freshmen in the 1994-1995 class, 462 registered for spring semester. Although Willamette lost twelve students, the college main main-" " tained an amazing 97.5 reten retention tion rate of first time 1994-1995 freshmen.

Out of those 85, 78 reg registered istered for spring semester giving the transfer group a 92 retainment rate.

Massa also said that on aver average age 70 of the students in each freshman class will graduate from Willamette in four years. Massa stressed that Willamette "has a very good retainment rate," and said the reasons why students leave a university and why others enroll is a complicated issue which has been the subject of many surveys, articles and books. Dean of Admissions Jim Sumner also mentioned that many colleges and universities have done research which has looked at rea reasons sons why students leave a college. He pointed out that the single most common reason is finances. This is a convenient excuse since it is certainly understandable and people are quick to sympathize. However, Sumner said "there are usually underlying reasons and fi finances nances is really not as predomi predominant nant as other factors." Sumner noted mat since Willamette is strictly a small, liberal arts and sciences college, many students leave because the Most colleges would die to have Willamette's retainment rate. college doesn't offer the major they wish to pursue.This is especially the case when a student decides to special specialize ize in a specific career field. Despite this fact, Admissions Office pamphlets list a myriad of reasons why students choose Willamette.

According to books which tackle this often complicated is issue, sue, students leave colleges be because cause they are too far from home and miss their family and friends, the difference between high school and college is just too dramatic for some and others simply do not find their college or university to their liking. Aanen Trelstad knows what it is like to be one of these students. He is a sophomore Exercise Science major who came to Willamette this fall. He previously attended the University of Cali California fornia at San Diego. He noted that it was a combi combination nation of factors which prompted him to leave; he got sick, he found the weather monotonous and didn ' t enjoy his professors. Trelstad was accepted at Willamette after high school. The high quality of the academic programs, of which he is "completely sat satisfied," isfied," led him to enroll. He was also impressed with the athletic program; he has been a member of the soccer team and is looking forward to playing on the baseball team in the spring. Tobias Reed's story is similar Ja.Trelslad's biiLalso very' differ different. ent. Reed is also a sophomore who entered in the fall of 1994 as a Politics major. For his freshman year, Reed attended the top-ranked Swarthmore College in Philadel Philadelphia. phia. He found the academics at thi s prestigious school challenging, saying that he often studied 6-8 hours nightly, However, this paled in com comparison parison to the work-load of his fellow classmates. Reed feels that relationships and getting to know people is para paramount mount to one's existence. To him, "what you learn outside the class classroom room is as important, if not more, than inside the classroom." At Swarthmore he found it dif difficult ficult to meet people and get in involved volved in activities.

What is dif different, ferent, Reed fifi M . iMot everyone has had such a positive reaction to Willamette. found, is the wealth of opportunity to join ac activities. tivities. For example, he has en enjoyed joyed participating on the Crew Team at Willamette. In addition, Reed feels Willamette in general is more flex flexible, ible, and the people more sociable. Reed attributes this feeling not only to Willamette, but also to the distinct Northwest culture. Not everyone has had such a positive reaction to Willamette. Amy Erekson is a sophomore Sociology major who transferred from the University of California at Santa Barbara. With a 20,000 student popula population tion and a "ridiculous teacher to student ratio," UCSB led Erekson to look elsewhere for her college education. She decided that "a small pri private vate school on the west coast that was not religiously affiliated" would be a better choice. What made her choose Willamette over other Northwest private schools, such as Lewis and Clark, was Willamette's respect for tradition and the fact that "it seemed like a place where stu students dents get a lot out of their under undergraduate graduate experience." Although Erekson is glad she switched from a large school to a small one, some aspects of Willamette have left her troubled. She has found Willamette "to be more conservative that I thought it would be." Erekson also said that si mil ar to UCSB , at Wil 1 ame tte "there is a huge amount of apathy in the classroom and in commu community nity service involvement." Erekson notes, however, that this lack of concern stems more from a flaw in her generation than a problem with the student body at either UCSB or Willamette. Justin Sliter gives a different view of the turnover rate, the num number ber of students who leave Smile r - f t L f y' Willamette, and how the number of tranfer student who come into school. Sliter enrolled as a first time freshman in 1993-1994 at Willamette. He is now a sopho sophomore more and just transferred to the University of " Montana at spring semester. Sliter didn't have any real problems with Willamette as a whole, but trans- ferred due to a decision in his major. He is studying for an account accounting ing degree and said that Willamette "did not have a strong specialized business program." University of Montana offers the program he wants and is one of the top ranked schools in the na nation tion with regard to preparing ac accounting counting students for the CET ex examination. amination.

Saturday night was a great game in every sense of the word. Unfortunately for Willamette, the clock was not on their side.

Many search for a way to slow down life and put things back into perspective. Search no further, because the cure is right here on campus, and it's name is yoga. Yes, there is chanting, incense, and meditation, but the stereotype of yoga being a deep look inside one's self, is an exaggeration. "It is not an escape," said Instructor Su Susan san Lilly. Yoga is an ancient disci discipline, pline, started over 5000 years ago, that is meant to control the mind by focusing on the body. Lilly tries to get her class to focus on a single task, such as breathing, in order for the students to slow down the pace of their li ves, and leave other worries behind.

Lilly, who is also a Theatre In Instructor, structor, didn't get into teaching yoga until 1988.

He en enjoyed joyed the experience so much, that he encouraged Lilly to create a yoga class.

The results of her class have been very encouraging as well. Many students have taken the class to help heal injuries, either physical or physiological. A major attraction of the class, according to Lilly, is the focus that the course demands. "We have as much focus as any other sport," she said. The class also focuses on stretching the body as far as pos possible, sible, but not to the point where one would be in pain. The result is a better conditioned body, which Lilly feels leads to a better attitude and outlook. "I think they just feel better," said Lilly about her student's feelings after each class. Another bonus to the class is the quarter credit students receive for participating.

Is anybody here for Willamette? For all of those who have seen John Rodgers in action, you know that he is a big time Willamette supporter. His mass en enthusiasm thusiasm for Willamette athletics makes the game exciting even when the action on the field or court isn't so hot. Rodgers has been supporting Willamette Athletics since the 1988 1988-89 89 basketball season. Rodgers graduated from Willamette Law School in 1979, and then went to Pacific University, in Forest Grove, -to finish his undergraduate work. He got involved with Pacific's ath athletic letic department when he was an undergraduate there when he worked for the campus radio station. He was the sports director at the station. He has been a fan of NAIA basketball since his sophomore year in col college. lege. Later, Rodgers became the pub public lic address announcer for Pacific men's and women's basketball, and later he did a few television broad broadcasts casts on cable television. After about 5 years of being the P. A. announcer, the school decided to let students take over that opera operation. tion. Pacific U. was not very cer ceremonious emonious about letting Rodgers go. They let him go after the fact.

The event was the beginning of a downside relationship with Pa Pacific. cific. Rodgers used to go to the Pa Pacific cific football games as well help cheer-lead the crowd. "I just did it spontaneously and had a lot of fun with it," said Rodgers. Since Rodgers has a degree from both Pacific and Willamette, when whenever ever his alma matters played each other, he would root for the visitors in one half and the home team in the second half. He continued this per personal sonal tradition up until the 1988 "He's our sixth man in basketball, and our twelfth man in football. He's our new athletic tradition at Willamette." Athletic Director Bill Trenbeath season, when Pacific came to play at Willamette. During that season, Rodgers cheered for Pacific in the first half, and then Willamette in the second half. In that game Willamette made up a 14 point deficit and almost won the game. Pacific only won by 3 points. After that ball game, Rodgers received a phone call from Last Spring Break the team trained in Hawaii with the women's team, but this year they won't be traveling, Beaton said. One player was going to Europe, and another had marriage commitments. "Ev "Every ery player who holds a top position had a good reason for not being able to go," he said. The women's team, on the other hand, will be traveling down to the Bay Area in California for training. The women's team doesn't have their first match scheduled until Feb February ruary 10 at Portland State Univer University sity at 3:30 p.m. Their next matches are back-to-back at University of Puget Sound on Saturday, Febraury 25, and West Western ern Washington on February 26. Last year the team didn't play Western Washington. They de defeated feated Portland State when they had Willamette's athletic director Bill Trenbeath. Trenbeath called to tell Rodgers how much the fans appreciated his efforts and asked if he would be willing to do this more frequently. He accepted Trenbeath' s offer and has been here at Willamette ever since. Pacific's loss has been Willamette's gain. Ever since Rodgers started cheering for Willamette athletics, he's helped initiate great emotions and school spirit for the fans in the crowd along with the players and coaches them themselves. selves. Trenbeath believes, "He's defi definitely nitely our spirit leader ever since he stood up and first started leading cheers," he said, "He's our sixth man in basketball, and our twelfth man in football. He's our new ath athletic letic tradition at Willamette." Rodger's first "official year" of cheer leading was the 1988-89 sea season. son. During that season, the men's basketball team won every home game, except one. The only regular season home game the team lost was the one that Rodgers missed. Rodgers volunteers his time for Willamette Athletics, he is not paid. Rodgers plans on continuing his time and talents for the years to come.

V NAIA vs. NCAA Northwest Conference moves away from NAIA by Matt Kosderka Staff Writer The Northwest Conference has been the pillar of NAIA for many years. That may not be the case for much longer, as the seven members of the Northwest Conference, including Willamette, have applied for membership at the NCAA Division III level. Presidents of the Northwest Conference schools suggested the move in late November of last year. The seven schools would hold dual memberships in NAIA as well as NCAA Division III for the next three years, while the NCAA reviews the school's programs to ensure that the school's meet all NCAA rules and regulations. Upon approval from the NCAA, the seven members of the conference will be eligible for national championships at the NCAA Division III level in 1998. Until that time, the conference will continue to be involved in national championships at the NAIA level. George Fox, although they are not current members of the Northwest Conference, will also apply for membership to NCAA Division III in the fall of 1995. There is a possibility that the University of Puget Sound will apply as well. Willamette Athletic Director Bill Trenbeath thinks that it is time for the conference to make a change. "There are not many schools left in NAIA like the schools in our conference," he said. He mentioned that the schools similar to Willamette, as far as being liberal arts schools with broad . based athletic programs and solid academic standards, are currently members of NCAA Division III. Besides joining other schools similar to those of themselves, the members of the Northwest Conference will participate in .what Trenbeath calls, "legitimate national championships." With only a small number of programs remaining at the NAIA level of competition and because those schools do not represent all areas of the country, NAIA national championships have been anything but national. By moving to NCAA Division III, the North Northwest west Conference will be involved in true national championships, since the NCAA Division III has members that represent the entire country. Although the conference's decision to switch affiliation has only been recently announced, the idea has been a long time in the making. "We just didn't decide to do this overnight," said Trenbeath. A total of 40 schools are expected to jump from the NAIA to NCAA Division HI. Trenbeath also felt that more schools will apply in the future, which will most likely threaten the existence of the NAIA. With the possibility of the NAIA diminishing, Willamette has been preparing to move on for the good of the program. The decision did not come without opposition from within the conference. Trenbeath credits that to some schools not wanting to let go of their long history with the NAIA. "Many of the schools in this conference have a long tradition with the NAIA," he said.. Moving to NCAA Division III will most likely not bring any drastic changes to Willamette's opponents, considering that their conference will make the move along with them. The major change for Willamette athletic programs, along with those of the rest of the Northwest Conference, will be the chance for a national title in a higher division. V Intramurals IM coordinator by Matt Kosderka Staff Writer President Jerry Hudson ap approved proved a half-time position for an intramural and club athletic coordi coordinator nator last week. The position, proposed by Vice President for Student Affairs Stuart Tennant, was created to cut down on a lack of communication be between tween those running the intramural program, and those participating. "My hope is. ..that we can get better coordination," said Tennant. In the past, the intramural coor coordinator dinator had beenaWillamettecoach, but Tennant felt that the extra duties were not fair to the full time coach as well as the participating students. Therefore, when it came time to suggest new positions, Tennant felt that the intramural and club sport coordinator was a necessity. A major factor in introducing the coordinating position, was a problem with practice schedules. Tennant said the coordinator will be responsible for knowing all varsity practice times, and then dividing spot approved time on various practice fields, be between tween intramural and club sports. With a more organized pro program, gram, Tennant hopes to bring more exposure to intramural and club sports. He felt that it was important that everyone have a chance to par participate, ticipate, and building strong intra intramural mural and club programs, will al allow low just that. When the coordinating position begins next school year, it will only be on a part time basis. Tennant hopes that the position proves itself worthy of becoming a full time job within the next few years. In coordination with decreas decreasing ing confusion, the Office for Stu Student dent Affairs will offer a clearing clearinghouse house next year, so that students can call in with schedule inquiries, even when the coordinator isn't working. "There will always be a home base," said Tennant. As of now, the position is open. Tennant said that he will advertise within the state, and then a selec selection tion committee, possibly with some Willamette students, will select the top applicant.

The Bearcats dominated in wins over Pacific and Lewis & Clark. Willamette's two victories moved their record to 6-1 in the Northwest Conference, and 16-4 overall, as they prepare to take on Whitworth tonight, in Spokane, Washington. " The Bearcats, despite being out rebounded, rolled to an easy 87-72 victory over Pacific. The big differ ence in the game came in each team' s snooting percentage, vy nianieue continued to shoot well, hitting 53.8 percent of their shots, while Pacific shot only 38.7 percent. "I thought we played good de defense," fense," said Head Coach Paula Petrie. She felt that the rebounding defi defi-. . cit was due to a lack of chances. With the Bearcats shooting over 50 percent from the field, the chances for rebounds were minimal. Leading the way for the Bearcats 4 was soDhomore center Jennv Jo seph, who made all eight of her field Willamette's Athlete of the Week Swimming: Laura Juckeland Senior; Portland, Oregon : y V tional qualifying times. To date she has qualified for nationals in four events. In addition to the 400 and 200 individual medleys, she has also qualified in the 100 and 200 backstrokes. An athlete is only able to swim three individual events at nationals so Juckeland thinks she will swim the 400 individual medley and the 1 00 and 200 backstrokes which will make for quite a busy meet for her. "She's an outstanding swimmer who trains extremely hard. She can swim a lot of different events," said head coach Skip Kenitzer.

Sopho Sophomores mores Kara Ritzheimer and Stacey Kruger, who lived next door to each other in Matthews Hall were notified Wednesday via e-mail that they would be assigned TIUA roommates and were expected to attend a TIUA room roommate mate training session. Upon looking in the Residence Life handbook, however, Ritzheimer and Kruger read the clause which gave them two days to find a new roommate, and approached Stuart Tennant, Vice President for Student Affairs. Thursday morning, Tennant informed Kruger that she and Ritzheimer did have a case to justify their living together. "Tennant was very gracious about it. I'm really glad it worked out," said Ritzheimer, adding that "I don't think a lot of students know about the con contract. tract. The RA s I talked to didn ' t know about it either." ORL has also been able to force students to accept TIUA roommates by using a change in the housing contract from last year. This year's housing contract, unlike those of years past, applies for one year, not one semester. The reason for changing the contract, as stated by ORL in the past, was to keep students from frivo frivolously lously moving across campus from semester to semester. These moves were a logistical nightmare for RAs during finals week, and caused un unnecessary necessary wear and tear on furniture. Another implication of the change has prevented students who have a vacancy in their room between fall and spring from selecting another roommate to fill the vacancy if ORL decides the spot should be used to host a TIUA roommate. Kristi Osborn, junior, and Meuy Let us W combine all debts into one nafic payment on ability to pay. HOTTEST ROCK, DANCE, AND TECHNO! Chao, freshman, lived two doors apart last fall. Osborn, whose roommate left to study abroad this spring and Chao, who had a TIUA roommate the semester before, had wanted to move in together. Chao's experience with her TIUA roommate had been un unpleasant, pleasant, and Chao was adamantly opposed to living with a TIUA stu student dent in the spring. Osborn had stipu stipulated lated on her preference card that she did not want a TIUA roommate this year, as she had every year in the past. However, when Osborn and Chao approached their RD about moving in together, they were told that Osborn would need to share a room with a TIUA roommate. This was followed by several visits to Rich Shintaku which were frustrating for Osborn. Shintaku was sympathetic to Chao's difficulties with her roommate, but insisted that Osborn take another TIUA roommate. "I thought that it really stunk. I don't think Rich really treated me well. I felt like he was pretty harsh ... I'm having a real hard time dealing with this. I' ve thought that Residence Life was caring and supportive of students, but that's not what I faced. I felt I was not cared for and I felt they were doing whatever was good for them," said Osborn. Eventually, due to the fact that an open double was needed in Baxter, Chao and Osborn were allowed to move in together, but it was basically on the "whim" of Residence Life, said Osborn. Shintaku adds that although stu students dents indicate on their preference cards they don't want a TIUA room roommate, mate, the only wish that ORL guaran guarantees tees is smoking preferences, and that they reserve the right to place Willamette students with TIUA stu students dents even if they indicate they don't want one.

We don't ask Willamette students to host.w Basically, we have these students .coming Monday, and we've got to welcome them," said Shintaku. According to Osborn, this isn't a valid reason for the policy. "I don't think TIUA should be a priority... they come for one year, and we re here for four." Doney RA Thai Verzone added that putting TIUA students with Willamette students who are an un unwilling willing part of the program compro compromises mises both parties.
