The Community Outreach Pro Program gram (COP) program sponsored two Alternative Breaks during the week of Jan. 8-15, one in Portland and one in San Francisco. Seven students spent the week volunteering for Franciscan Enter Enterprises, prises, a Portland-based organization which builds and remodels houses for lower-income families, led by freshman Alexa Johnson and sopho sopho-more more Jolene Yee. Eleven students took the 1 0-hour drive to the Bay Area to learn more aboutthe AIDS epidemic by working with three different groups there. Un Under der the guidance of freshman Erin Chaparro and senior J.O. Price, the Students worked out of the Bethany United Methodist Church in the heart of the city's mission district. . The Portland group, which in included cluded freshmen Jorden Leonard, Romas Jose" Kukenas and Andrew , Kolosseus; and juniors Alex Rodinsky and Akinori Yoshida, helped remodel and renovate homes that had been donated to the Franciscans by a nearby Safeway grocery store. After the homes are remodeled, the Franciscans rent them to people ho are in the lower third of the "income bracket. Although most groups will sell houses after rebuild rebuilding ing them, the Franciscans rent them Alumnus donates $500 by Andrew Nagappan Staff Writer Alumnus William H.

Afternoons in Portland were spent at the Oregon Food Bank, a major re redistribution distribution center in which mass quantities of food were divided up and distributed to emergency food centers throughout the city. Accord According ing to Rodinsky, the volunteers packed nearly "two tons of food, which at the time seemed like a lot, but then you realize that each family only gets a little bit, and it seems unreal." At night, the group was divided in two and each section took shifts working at Operation Nightwatch, a small cafe operated by a Presbyterian church which serves coffee and sand sandwiches wiches to the city's homeless from 8 p.m. to midnight Thursday through Sunday. "Operation Nightwatch al allowed lowed our group to really spend time with the homeless and sit down and talk with them, it allowed us to 'per 'personalize' sonalize' the homeless, something we don't do very much," said Yee. Rodinsky added, "I talked to a man who had spent nine years in the Salem hospital for schizophrenia We talked about current events and Chi na and where he came from, which was Okinawa. It dispelled a lot of myths I had about mental illness because it was a normal conversation." Throughout the week various Willamette administrators spent a day helping the group.

Born in Portland in 1919, Kilkenny is a member of the Willamette class of 1941 and was a senior scholar in economics. He helped put himself through Willamette University partly by wash washing ing windows at the School of the Blind at Mission and Church street. "I lived at the basement and worked for Mrs. Brown, who owned Deepwood. I led a sort-of hermit life but did a great deal of studying. There is no substitute for hard work," he said. After graduation, Kilkenny served in the US navy, rising to the rank of Lieutenant Commander. He served in World War U with 4,000 soldiers under his command, han handling dling equipment and forklifts in Guam.

Assistant Director of Student Activities Michelle Howell, Assis Assistant tant Director of Student Activities for Community Outreach Ron Krabill, and Admission Counselor Chris Simmons also participated. Meanwhile, the second group learned first-hand about AIDS and homosexuality by working at three Bay Area organizations. Freshmen Lindsay Hunter, Jennifer Brothers, Emily Strang, sophomore Kendra Speirs, seniors Darcy Spar, Shannon Rose, Michelle Corse and Dori Olsen were divided into groups of three and four. Groups were divided into three, each rotating between three bay-area organizations. The first was the In International ternational Gay and Lesbian Human Rights Commission (IGLHRC), where the students set up computers, filed papers and organized an exten extensive sive collection of periodicals on gay and lesbian issues from around the world. Students also worked several hours a day at St. Mary's Hospital, the only care unit specifically for AIDS patients with dementia.

The intent of these changes is to make ,-. Rush more personal through making the process more informal. Cirith Anderson, Panhellenic Rush Chair, said that changes were made in order to get back to the basic idea of Rush, which is about "meeting women, and seeing the Greek system first first-hand." hand." Changes include relaxing the dress of participants, as well as toning down how much money is spent by the houses on Rush. According to Anderson, these noticeable changes are being imple implemented mented to tone down the pagentry and excess of Rush. An example of this is the elimination of "Bursting" which is when women in the sororities would greet the rushees on the front lawns of the sorority houses with songs. Al Although though songs and skits are still a part of the process, they are kept inside the " house, and more time is devoted to Willamette benefactor Taul by Charlotte Jones Contributor Taul Watanabe, a generous donor and intriguing part of Willamette's history, died recently, leaving behind a legacy of generosity and kindness.

"Definite changes will be noticed." The structure of Spring Rush is unchanged, however. Beginning Wednesday night, each woman at attends tends parties at eachof the three houses every nightfor three nights. On Satur Saturday day morning, rushees preference two houses they are interested in, and that night is Preference night, in which they only visit those two. This is the most serious, and solemn night, in which each house shows what sister sisterhood hood really means through a cer ceremony. emony. That evening each rushee chooses which house she'd like a bid from, which is followed by receiving an invitation from a house to join. In comparison, men's Rush has experienced a drastic change in its structure. According to Morgan Allen, president of IFC, in the past IFC would "herd" freshmen to houses in groups, in order to make sure each house was visited by each rushee. This year, the system has been relaxed in order to give rushees more autonomy. "We decided that the freshmen going began placing Japanese-Americans into internment camps, Watanabe was placed in a camp in Puyallup, Wash Washington. ington. Baxter, Willamette's president at the timertracked down the student and promised to help with his release. Baxter's help and Watanabe' s letters to government officials won Watanabe an exemption. He continued his stud studies ies at the University of Den ver, Baxter getting him a mU scholarship and lodg lodg-ing ing there. Money donated by Watanabe has provided Willamette' s undergraduate program and law school with several scholarships. In both colleges his do donations nations have funded scholarships for students of Japanese-American an ancestry. cestry. He established science scholar scholarships ships and a chair endowment as a supplement to the Olin grant, given to Willamette by the Olin Foundation. Watanabe' s Scholar-Athlete Scholar Scholarship ship was given to honor his friend through rush are old enough to know what houses they want to see, and ho w long they want to spend at each house," said Allen. On Wednesday and Thursday of Rush week, each of the houses had open houses from 7 to 10 p.m. at night, in which men were free to come and go between houses as they wished. During this time, the houses provided activities such as casino night, golf night, and snowboarding night. Fol Following lowing a decision hour from seven to eight on Friday night, during which those going through rush can not have contact with fraternity members, the houses all open up at eight o'clock, for board signing where men pledge a house. Not only does the new schedule allow the men going through rush more autonomy in selecting what houses they will visit, it gives the houses the opportunity to be more autonomous as well. "This system transfers the respon responsibility sibility to each house to design a pro program," gram," Allen said, calling the changes a "complete overhaul" from previous years. Allen added that the numbers of men going through rush are similar to those of years past. Watanabe dies Otto Skopil, a federal judge and child childhood hood friend. Skopil was a fine athlete and a graduate of Willamette's class of 1941. Watanabe has also been a signifi significant cant figure outside of Willamette.

He bought and developed prop property erty in Southern California and also served as a bank president. It was in California that he first became in involved volved with government. Since his membership on the Gardena Planning Commission he served as a Demo Democratic cratic national committeeman and was appointed to the Los Angeles City Harbor Commission. His support of Dixy Lee Ray's 1 976 campaign for governor of Wash Washington ington earned him an appointment to the University of Washington board of regents and a stint as chairman of the state Economic Council and state Personnel Board. "Cattle Run" to be eliiiiinated this year by Heather C. Anderson Staff Writer The culmination of Sorority Rush, the so-called "cattle run," is being discouraged this weekend by the Panhellenic Council in an effort to make the event more safe. Traditionally, women rushees preference a house and receive a bid on Saturday night. Afterward, the pledges leave the University Center and head toward their re respective spective Greek houses. The pledges are greeted by all sorts of people, and chaos generally ensues. "What it's been in the past is just a mas massive sive wall of both men and women, both independent and (Greek) af affiliated filiated who stand on the front steps of the UC," said Rush Chair Cirith Anderson. "There's just a lot of excite excitement ment and energy going on when rushees preference a house and receive a bid. With that excitement and energy, in the past there have been a lot of people who have been scraped and bumped and bruised," said Anderson. "There have also been black eyes and elbowed ribs." According to Anderson, there seems to be an unnecessary amount of people on the University Center steps. Positive reinforcement from the crowd, shown through cheers, is generally drowned out by moo mooing, ing, something that Anderson feels is detrimental to the entire rushing process. "The new pledges are going to their houses. It should be a time of celebration. They're not running down the (UC) stairs to be made fun of. In previous years, they have been cheered on, but the cheers have turned to mooing, because it's a whole crowd of people mov moving ing in the same direction. I guess to some people it's kind of funny, but I personally think that the mooing is degrading." Several steps are being taken this year to ensure safety and fun for all involved in the rushing ex experience. perience. Anderson said that the Interfraternity Council (IFC), the governing body of the fraternities, actually brought the problem to the attention of the Panhellenic Coun Council cil (PHC), the sororities' govern governing ing body.

This year they can begin signing on Friday night. Traditionally, both the fra fraternities ternities and the sororities have received their bids on Saturday night," said Anderson. "By having the fraternity rush rushees ees bid early, it might help to elimi eliminate nate the drinking that typically goes on, because after fraternities sign their pledges, the rushees tradi traditionally tionally are allowed to drink. "It's just an excess of excite excitement. ment. People are just celebrating. There are a lot of people having a good time. It's not the alcohol, really. There are a bunch of people who have been drinking, but there are also some very sober men out mere. Everybody contributes to the mayhem. Common sense is just not there all the time." PHC plans to enforce existing rules that have "somewhat lapsed," according to Anderson. Among those rules are that during the time in between the last rush party and the time when the rushees receive their bids, whichhas typically been between 8:30 and 1 1 p.m., the so sorority rority women won't be allowed to be in any of the fraternities for social reasons. Also, the sorority women will not be allowed to call the fraternities to tell them that they are about to receive their pledges. Finally, sorority women will have to stand behind the side sidewalk walk in front of their houses while the rushees come out of the UC. In the past few years, women have gathered on the steps of the UC, creating an obstruction. Anderson said, "We're just try trying ing to eliminate the massive wall of people and ensure safe passage for the pledges. There has been a spectacle made in the past with the mooing, but the bottom line this year is safety. What we're trying to do this year is to stifle the chaos, not to eliminate the traditions." EFC President Morgan Allen said he felt that not everyone was happy with the changes. "Calling it the cattle run is probably the big problem," he said. "But I don't think the cattle run itself is a big deal." "My years at Willamette formed the cornerstone of my business career and civic life. It is therefore with great joy that I share my time and money with others at Willamette so that they may enjoy a similar experience. Dedica Dedication tion is key to excellence in education."

What is wrong with American society, that we could be so infatuated with a trial that has abso absolutely lutely no significance to the average American? Perhaps the average American isn't to blame. Without the involvement of the mass media all over the world and Simpson's national following, this trial probably would not have been known outside of the Los Angeles area. The media has taken a few unfair lumps over the years, but they have done a really good job of blowing this one way out of proportion. A recent check through many national newspapers showed stories of Simpson's head attorney, Robert Shapiro, feud with his assistant F. Lee Bailey overshadow overshadowing ing the birthday of Martin Luther King Jr. Doesn't it seem that King did just a little bit more for American society than Simpson and his attorney? Opening arguments are scheduled to begin on Monday. On Wednesday, presiding judge Lance Ito ruled that two jurors will be replaced. His ruling is sure to bring a week or two of arguments by both the prosecution and the defense regarding qualifications of the replacement jurors. Thanks to NBC, anyone unable to catch the late night news will be able to get all of the juicy details during the network's daily telecast of the trial. They will bring to you every minute, from the attorney's arguing about whether to have pizza or burgers for lunch, to arguments of whether Nicole Brown Simpson's dog should be allowed to tes testify. tify. As for O.J., has he been cast into a deep state of depression by the embarrasing amount of media coverage? Not exactly. Instead, he has been using his time to capitalize on his dilemma by writing a book expressing his innocence. The book, entitled "I Want to Tell You," is sure to bring in some major funds for Simpson to pay off his defense team, the same one that seems to add a new member with each passing day. Maybe we should all go kill someone famous, hire a cheap attorney, write a book, and reap the profits. Sure we would be locked in a cell, but we would be filthy rich. Isn't that the American dream? The media seems to think so. Of course the idea of committing murder to gain wealth is a joke, but how far will we go to be entertained? The Simpson murder trial has be become come more of a dramatic sitcom than a real life tragedy. On the other hand, maybe the trial is more like a comedy, because the whole thing is one big joke.

It was not on the top of my "I Need List." I still have die station stationary ary I received last year. It sits in my drawer and waits for me to use it, but I never seem to get around to it. My pens and paper meet less and less each year. The lame excuse that I am too busy would work, but I don't even try to give it to my friends that live far away. The fact is, the easiest and best way for me to correspond is by e-mail. I write my friends at Willamette, my friends at other schools across the country, my brother at home, my dad at work, my sister at school and even my roommates. But, it is very rare that I sit down with a pad of paper and write. Sometimes I type letters and then send them the old fashioned way, but all that takes is a computer and some printer paper. Writing an actual letter like people have done for hundreds of years is just too difficult. First you have to decide what stationary to use. Then what color pen and if you want ball point or inkpen. Then there are the trivial details that re really ally matter, such as the color of the envelope and how to address it. Locating a stamp is not easy either. However, the most difficult part is the permanent state of your words. There is no delete key. On a com computer puter you can rework a sentence until you like it and it says exactly what you want it to say. What you write the first time is what goes on paper. I don't like that. ' Then there is the whole idea of privacy. The letter that you write and stick in a mailbox has the pos possibility sibility of being read by postmen Erik Holm ; Editor in Chief .Gabrielle Byrd Managing Editor jRyan Teague Beckwith News Editor Jennifer Lynn Miller Sports Editor Sarah Rose Zollner Features Editor Joe Findling Copy Editor Dan Metz Copy Editor Christopher Ames Advertising Manager Mark Friel Darkroom Manager Andrew Bernhard Campus Events Editor mail not "real" mail along the way and then when it eventually gets to the right person, she may read it several times and then save it tucked away in a shoebox From the Editorial Board Gabrielle Byrd in a drawer for years until her grand grandchildren children read it when she passes away centuries later. That's a lot of pressure. E-mail is different. Brief mes messages sages are acceptable and mistakes are more tolerated. Computer typed letters can be spell checked and proofread until the writer is com completely pletely satisified and the writing is always legible. There is something comforting about knowing what whatever ever you write can be erased later without wasting paper. However, with the introduction of the computer and e-mail, some something thing is being lost. Handwritten let letters ters are special because they are written directly onto the paper (that was specially selected) by a person and a pen. Think how dull the loveletters that your grandparents sent to each other would be if they had been sent via the computer and modem, so they were only on disk and not paper. Important documents, such as the United States Constitution would not be as interesting if the first copy was drawn up on a laptop and printed out for everyone to sign. On display in a museum case would be the printer papers signed at the bottom after the pages of typed words. The telephone has not helped the situation anymore. Given the option of calling someone and talk ing to them or writing them a letter, -most times I would rather use the telephone. It means a two-way con conversation versation and answers to questions right away . It means the two people can talk and know more of how the other person is feeling by the tone fy of their voice than the slant of their handwriting. So, what if you have a great phone conversation? You get off the phone and think "Wow !" You can ' t save the words that passed through the wires strung across the world. It is gone. You can't re- f listen to it. You can't stuff it in a drawer to hear when you want to be reminded of that person. It is a one time shot. Over vacation I was browsing in a used bookstore and picked up an old book that contained letters fL from famous people to their friends, family and aquaintances. It was in interesting teresting and amusing to read. Some were funny, others were sad, ro romantic mantic and scholarly, but they had all been kept for years and later rediscovered. What if we became famous and two hundred years from now someone was trying to put together the same type of book? Most likely there would be few letters to publish. It would have all been telephone conversations and 4 e-mail. Author Garrison Keillor said, "You can't pick up a phone and call the future and tell them about our times. You have to pick up a piece of paper." He is very correct. The only solution is to hand r write more letters. Of course we'll still do e-mail, but we shouldn't forget about the old-fashioned method. The letters might not be as perfect, but that's ok. At least the stationery w;ll stop cluttering up in my drawer. ' Staff Writers: Lydia Alexander, Heather C.

In the sense that one should not hate another for the color of his or her skin, this statement is correct, and useful. However, this statement has come to mean more than this. It has come to represent a policy of forced di diversity versity in American firms and universities. The problem lies in the as assumption sumption that diversity is a mean, rather than an end. Ethnic diver diversity sity has no inherent value. It is neither good nor bad, it just is. It can be the result of truly race race-blind blind actions on the part of pri private vate organizations, but it can never be the social vehicle to racial harmony. ; , . Programs which advocate the implementation of forced diver diversity sity as a way to achieve racial equity and peace have univer universally sally failed. Busing of students in urban areas is an example of such a program which has failed to alleviate racial tensions. Simi Similarly, larly, efforts on the private level to achieve forced diversity are bound for failure. This is be because cause the forcing of diversity devalues the importance of the ' individual. Decisions are being made upon the basis of race, rather than upon the basis of per personal sonal ability. A selective institution which admits any person on the basis of that person's ethnicity is racist. At the heart of the diversity movement is the idea that differ different ent races have some different " talents to offer a selective insti institution. tution. Put this in a nastier con context text and we may as well be read Alternative music fad ironic I turned on the television last night and there was this schmuck on -j) MTV hosting "Alternative Nation." I have been on campus for three years and haven' t had a solid diet of cable TV for far too long I was coming dangerously close to think thinking ing again. Anyway, here is this guy, ?"Puck" or something, being an idiot and hosting what used to be "120 Minutes." The point at this stage is that some idiot is hosting a show on alternative music. I hate alternative music. Hate, hate, hate. What the hell does alternative mean? Alternative to what? Another alternative? In short this whole alternative thing is a tragedy, but not a big one, so if you have to go to the bathroom ' or have a smoke, do that instead of reading this column. You won't learn anything here that you don't know already, for in this tale of genocide, you are the guilty party. (I'm so proud of you ..?oo!) There used to be some people who liked some bizarre music, and they pretty much kept to themselves, knocking over a liquor store from time to time, but nothing dangerous or really illegal. These people used '.obecalledpunksorhoods orcrimi orcrimi-nals, nals, but now in a fresh breath of liberal consciousness, we call them alternative. All of a sudden, it is cool to be alternative. It is cool to listen to Jine Inch Nails and other bands ing from the pages of Mein Kampf. It is just as wrong to assign particular values to a race as it is The Liberty Bell Jeffrey T. Eager to assign particular negatives to that race. Both engender a racial mode of thinking in which the importance of individual ability is eclipsed by that of race, and the assumed values thereof. Upon first glance, forced di diversity versity may, at least, seem to benefit the race which is favored by racial decision-making. How However, ever, this is not true. In reality, every individual of every race is damaged by racial decision-making. Each individual has less of an opportunity to affect his or her own life through personal initiative. None of us can change the race we happen to be, so policies of racial decision-making damn each of us to our re respective spective racially pre-disposed futures. The solution to racial in inequality equality and tension is the imple implementation mentation of race-blind selec selection tion procedures both in the hir hiring ing practices of firms and in student-selection at universities. Forced diversity creates a mode of racial thinking which is detri detrimental mental to racial harmony. We must stop identifying individu individuals als by their race and begin to recognize them for their abilities. equally twisted, but this is not the point of this column. The point I would like to make here is that this whole "alternative" The Clap John Cable thing is irony incarnate. It is the one thing that I can count on to make me laugh on a regular basis. All of you are freaks, all acting the same way while trying to be different. Go to Nordstrom, buy some Airwalk's, pick up a copy of Downward Spiral, get some baggy pants, say you used to skate, buy a snowboard - PRESTO! You're in! I don't really know where I am going with this,-or what the hell I am going to say next, but that's the beauty of being a columnist, no one cares anyway, least of all me. What I do want you to take from this article is a comprehensive knowledge of what you are doing by being a part of this comedy. You and everyone like you are the big biggest gest fools on earth. You wear certain clothes and you listen to certain music and claim that it's "you" when in fact the startling truth is that it is quite the opposite: It's NOT you, it's every everybody; body; and thus might as well be nobody. Have you ever had an original thought in your life? Could you if you had to? You are all pathetic. I'm so glad I' m cooler than you. I'm going to write about my vacation. This may seem like a copout to you, and you may very well be right, but trust me when I say that you don't want me to try and ramble on about the one day of campus life I have experienced in the last month. I could, I suppose, detail for you the many stations of the UN-paid-in-full lines in Sparks, or even bring you to tears of boredom talking about my reunion with my beloved houseplant. (Blow out that match right now, I SAID I wouldn't put you through it.) The blame for my family's reen reen-actment actment of the trail of tears has been as assigned signed to my father.

We blame him because he is the only male in the family. only male in " the family. We don't care that he surprised Heather with a ten-hour car ride up AS WU actions regarding Dennis Miller show "fiscally irresponsible' While browsing through the last edition of the Collegian (12 994), the article "Dennis Miller show on hold" article by Erik Holm caught my eye. To refresh everyone's memory, this piece dealt with the ap parent agreement between ASWU and Dennis Miller's agent, which would pay Miller $30,000 to appear at Willamette next spring. Although this is a contract between ASWU and Miller, it requires President Hudson's signature in order for it to be valid. The problem is that Presi President dent Hudson is apparently reluc reluctant tant to sign it and has (according to the Collegian) called a meet meeting ing to discuss "how this, admin administratively istratively was ever allowed to happen." In response to this, ASWU Vice President Willie Smith pointed out that this was a con contract tract between ASWU and Miller, utilizing ASWU funds; hence, the administration should not be able to interfere with the con contract, tract, and by doing so the admin administration istration is denying ASWU the ability to function as an autono autonomous mous body and to "govern its own affairs." In this Smith is correct and should be commended for taking a strong stand on this issue. How However, ever, there is one issue which I north the day after she flew south, nor do we care that he ignored the flood warnings blocking key points in our route. No one blames him for The Innocent I Heather Hovde choosing to visit my uncle the week that The Eldest Son returned with his "accidental" baby, girlfriend, and request for money to replace his lost scholarship.' All we care about is the shortcut through Los Angeles that took us past the Children's Mu Museum seum (the Children's mu museum seum is, of course, built in one of the most frightening areas of L.A. Unlike other areas of recreation, chil children dren scream in fright when they see it because it means someone is going to take all of Daddy's tires again.) and forced us to go endless hours without a pit stop. Fear and bladder endurance don't mix. Of course, this is all Dad's fault. believe ASWU has lost sight of. While Smith rightly points out that ASWU funds belong to ASWU and not to the university, it must also be remembered where these funds come from. To quote AS WU Treasurer Kate Kenski, "ASWU money is student money, and is for student use only." Kenski is correct, ASWU money is student money which is kept in trust by ASWU for the promotion of ac activities tivities sponsored by andor ben benefiting efiting the students if the univer university. sity. This being the case, the ques question tion becomes, "What in the hell is ASWU thinking in spending $30,000 of students' money on something of this nature?" This is issue sue is just as serious and just as unacceptable as the administration's interference in ASWU affairs. Now don't get me wrong, I have nothing against Dennis Miller, the point is that this is an awful lot of money to spend on one evening of entertainment. There are a number of student organizations who are in need of additional funding for many worthwhile activities. Wouldn't the students of Willamette be better The battle of the sexes was put on hold when we arrived at my Uncle's house, not because the at atmosphere mosphere of brotherly love needed to be perpetuated, but because no one has time for that sort of thing. From our arrival at the door, we knew that Christmas here would not be quite what we were used to (which, of course, was silently Dad's fault). At least we were given pizza at the door and invited to watch football with all the sons and fa fathers. thers. My aunt stayed in the kitchen (no, not cooking, reading in the only quiet place available). The rest of the clan divided up so that my uncle's family was around the television, and my family stayed either in the kitchen with my aunt or in the living room with the new baby and the "fallen woman" who ruined my cousin's life. Now I know why half of my Mom' s side of the family moved up north - they can't talk to the other half. Football people, the writers of C and Newt are discussed at length, but no one asks personal questions, and if they do, no one responds with anything multi-syllabic. The rest of us rarely watch foot football, ball, would rather read about Newt than talk about him, and don' t even bother to read about C, let alone discuss it. It was a long trip for everyone, and of course, when we got home, it was all THEIR fault. served allocating that $30,000 to some of these activities? For that matter I think many here would rather see that money go to some charitable organization(s) over this Christmas season rather than into the pockets of Dennis Miller. In short, I believe that ASWU has acted in a fiscally irrespon irresponsible sible manner with the money en entrusted trusted to them. For that reason and for that reason alone, per perhaps haps President Hudson is some somewhat what justified in interfering with ASWU's use of the money. Admittedly I am not in informed formed as perhaps I should be, and perhaps ASWU has under undertaken taken a poll of the students and have found that the students are willing to spend this kind of money to bring Miller here - if this is the case then I stand in error and offer my sincere apolo apologies; gies; however, I have talked to a few students and they have heard of no such poll. This being the case, if ASWU is to be trusted to act as an au autonomous tonomous body, then I think they need to take a closer look at how it allocates the money entrusted to them by the students of this university.

The Collegian January 20, 1995 dkj Hnes iviary The band talks backstage about the source of their inspiration, tour mishaps, and ther eclectic stye. See page 7 for a review of their recent Portland concert at La Luna. 1 ? l & it , r 1 Roderick, sporting a neo-retro-Jamaican-dreadlock wig, howls through a rendition of "Lay Down Your Head" during the encore. by Chris Ames Editor Sky Cries Mary is often surrounded by notions of pomposity and wacked out ethereal spiritualism. Entertainment Weekly, suppos supposedly edly as a public service, issued a "Pretentious Band Alert" in the spring of 1993 as a response to the release of the band's first full length CD. Alternative Press characterized them as "Old Souls." True, Roderick and Anisa like to prance about the stage in ornate costumes, but that does not make them ostentatious. Off-stage, Roderick is almost shy and Anisa is quite humble and soft spoken. Sky Cries Mary's live performance does include many images of a spiritual nature. How However, ever, there was not a sacrificial virgin in sight back stage, and, unless they scurried out of sight before I could see them, there were no bands of gypsy fortune tellers or voodoo practitioners. When I walked in the back door during the sound check, I told a small knot of people that I was there to interview Sky Cries Mary. "Them?!? You want to interview them?" said one man with a rather healthy crop of hair, "They're bloody boring if you ask me." A tall, lanky guy nearby chimed "They're pretty much a dead end." I walked away from that a little puzzled: Were they really so bad? A few minutes later, the tall lanky man came over to where I was sitting and introduced himself as Gordon Raphael, keyboardist for Sky Cries Mary. He informed me that the other naysayer was none other than Mike Cozzi, former guitarist of Shriekback and now lead guitarist and road manager for Sky Cries Mary. What struck me upon walking into La Luna before the show was that no one accosted us and asked us who we were. With Sky Cries Mary, no one said "Who are you?" Most people just said "Hi, what's up?" That was nice for a change. Collegian: For the sake of those who don't know much about your band, what are the origins of Sky Cries Mary? Roderick: Oh, boy. It kind of started off as a theater, I don't know, like a project, and then it worked its way into being a band which it is now. It started off as aproject and then just over the five years it evolved into the seven of us. It's really the last three years that I feel its been like a real band. Collegian: From the Exit at the Axis the first recording release by the present incarna incarnation tion of SCM point? Roderick: Yeah, right. The first two albums are, again, just experiments. Collegian:Where did the name come from? I've never heard much about where exactly... Roderick: Before I went to graduate school in Paris, I was traveling. I was in Romania on a train and listening to the song "Wind Cries Mary" by Hendrix. And I thought to myself "God, if I ever have a band I am going to call it Sky Cries Mary," thinking that was the name of the song (a little laughter). And, I was like, "That would be a cool name for a band." And then when I got into Paris, I was trying to earn money for school. I tried to sell a cassette of stuff I had done with Ken and John from the Posies. And I happened to give the cassette to the guy who owns New Rose Records. And he called me three days later and said "Hey, I'd like to talk to you about a record deal." And I was like "What? Weird. Really? That's amazing." And he said "What's the name of the project?" And I was like "Uhhhh. . . Sky Cries Mary !" I just kind of made it up. It stuck. Collegian: Eastern philosophy, art, reli religion, gion, etc. has obviously had an influence on your band. Could you elaborate on that? Roderick: I guess we are influenced by Western and Eastern at the same time really. The Eastern part came through traveling and throughAnisareally. As far east, before Tokyo, was Istanbul that's the farthest I'd gone, which isn't really that east When Anisa joined the band she had just gotten her Yoga teaching certificate atAhShainUpperNew York. So we started working together and she brought that into what we were doing. It really hit a chord with us I think. Everyone came together at the same time and the sound of some of the Eastern instrumentation like the saronge, tonal quality of that instrument. We adapted that into our music. Anisa; I used to be pretty involved in Hindu chanting. Just as everything else works its way into everything you do. Not trying to be specific about it. That's just how that came about. Collegian: Have you ever been to a Hindu temple? Anisa: Not in India, light laughter Collegian: What are some of the inspira inspirations tions behind your lyrics? It seems to me that the content of your song writing varies from song to song. There are recurring themes, but some are light hearted, some are more serious. Roderick: Yeah, the difference between a song like "Slow Down Time" and "Every Ice Iceberg berg is a Fire" is pretty drastic. Except that even in the last part of "Every Iceberg is a Fire". . . It started off as just a goof, kind of like a play on words where almost everything I say is actually kind of the opposite or just has a weird twist on it. But the lastphrases are basically about global warming and the fact that we're all going to return to the sea eventually, as people. So I think water, obviously, and fire are the largest elements that keep recurring. Anisa: And I think that they kind of repre represent sent aspects of life not just completely serious or completely philosophical. It's like life. You go through all the different kind of things, happiness, seriousness, philosophy. Whatever. Roderick: And they pretty much always start off as short stories or extended poems and get reduced into a lyrical phrase. Almost every line of every song has a subtext to it where you could read. . . I know what is going on behind the line but there're even things I don ' t know about why I wrote it that come when we're doing the songs live. Something might spark in my head as to the genesis of that phrase. It's really kind of bizarre when writers are just in a lucid state of writing, but who's really speaking is kind of a scary idea. Collegian: Anisa, you have a beautiful voice. Have you had formal training? Anisa: When I was younger, 13 or some something, thing, I studied classical music for a while. I really enjoyed that. Then I messed around with the chanting when I was studying yoga and teaching yoga, which I still like and enjoy. I guess I have a general interest in all forms of music. Collegian: Where have you come up with the inspiration for your performances? Anisa: That's kind of how it started for Roderick and I when we were at the University of Washington and I was in the arts program, painting and art history, and he was in the theater program. We started working on perfor performance mance art together, before either of us were in any bands, and we incorporated music, and we incorporated different things. Sooner or later we both ended up in the same band. And it was like "How did we get to be in a band?" Performance art is just kind of a natural thing for us, incorporating visual arts with it makes it more fun for us and more exciting Roderick: There's like a certain kind of space you have to get into when you're on stage. For some reason, putting on different things, such as the gold horns or certain things help you access that space. It grows and grows and grows as the show progresses. Sooner or later what you enter as far as the stage gets larger and turns into a club, then it turns into all the people in the same thing together. When that's hap happening pening is when its magical for us. There's something about not just walking out there in the same thing that you've worn all day or the past week or so on the road. . . it helps you access that persona. That ritual side of going through the transformation, the makeup and different things, and by the end its pretty much stripped down to just that If I am in my jeans and T-shirt at the end, that's just how. . . The layers have to fall away, you're in a whole otherplane. It doesn't really matter. Youcould be naked, you could be in a suit, it doesn't really matter. Collegian: Areyou involved in anyprojects outside of Sky Cries Mary? Roderick: We all have our individual inter interests ests that everyone gets into when we're not on the road. And even when we are on the road, everyone gets into their own hobbies. Be it, ahhhh. . . TR Todd Robbins, our DJ, when he's back he's working at Star Wave Corp. which does CD ROM programs. . . Collegian: That's where you did the Internet broadcast from. Roderick: Yeah, because of TR working there. Anisa: And I still paint. That's kind of what I do, I go into my studio. Roderick writes. Roderick: If I can, I haven't been lately. Anisa: Gordon writes gothic death rock, laughs That's what I call it. Collegian: This is probably something no musician likes to do, but how would you de describe scribe your style? You have songs like "Ob "Objects jects in the Mirror" which is kind of. . . Roderick: Ambient. Collegian: Yeah, exactly. Then you have "Stretched" a semi-punk sort of song. You have something to offer everybody. Anisa: I have kind of a hard time with that too because of the way our writing technique. Everyone puts in what they know, and every everyone one is in charge of their own part. And since we all have completely different musicaMikes and backgrounds, we end up with tlus kind of mix up laughter you can't pin point it. Roderick: Depending on who seems to at a certain moment kind of poke through in the writing process. No one really dominates any anyone one but someone' s influence might poke through at a critical moment and shape a song or it might be there in the kind of genesis of it. "These Old Bones," "Iceberg," or "Slow Down Times," those three really have nothing to do with each otner. But they work when you chain them together as an album, takes you through all the emotions. Anisa: The only criteria is we all have to agree that it's a good song. Which is hard laughter because we throw out a lot of songs. Some one will decide that they don't like it. It takes a while. But I don't know what to call us. Roderick: Space rock is about the only thing that is kind of working. Collegian: What has been the most horrible thing to happen to you guys up on stage? Somebody walks off stage all mad or all your instruments come unplugged? Anisa: We had one that was kind of funny. It was when we were starting off, in one of our early shows. Our guitar player just tripped out really bad on stage cause it was his birthday. Roderick: Our old guitarist. Anisa: And no one even knew, and the next thing we knew he just walked off and decided to quit the band and was just watching us from the audience. I was like "Wait a minute, what is he doing out there?" Then some other guy just got on stage and started playing guitar with us. It was so weird. It took me two songs to figure out what was going on. That was kind of humorous. Collegian: Did he know the parts? Roderick: That was back when it didn't really matter if he knew the parts. Anisa: That was when it was real ambient and spaced out. Roderick: And certain things happen on the road. There's so much technical stuff going on. We played Phoenix and we got booked into this real bad, frat kind of bar. It was a bir level club, and we got on stage and it wasn't going well anyway. The bouncers were threatening to beat me up all night. They were after me all night, hounding me and hounding me. The stage was about the only place I felt safe. Then some guy had a big White Russian drink, he was on the second floor. He was wasted and it slipped out of his hands and goes flying down onto TR's Em ax which has a lot of the loops, like the Iceberg loops. BasicallyM of his sound stuff, fried the whole thing. Anisa: We had to rework the whole set on stage. Roderick: The main alternative station there has been one of the key stations to help break us. The guy who has been really pushing for us, he was there at the show. And we were just about to play the song, Iceberg, which has been the single that has done pretty well. He was like "What happened?" We haven't seen him since at our shows. We're kind of bummed out because he's a real nice guy. The whole night just went bad. Anisa: Sometimes you get tour nightmares.

Sometimes, this works and is effective. But with a band like Sky Cries Mary, which I saw on Dec. 17, such an approach will not do. There is much more to their concert experi experience ence than just what songs they played. The music was fantastic, but there was so much more. I have seen SCM twice before. While the shows were incredible, the guitar was often behind the Gordon Raphaal's keyboard, the drums of Bennett James Ireland, and the way cool scratches and samples produced by DJ Fallout (Todd Robbins). Occa Occasionally, sionally, a chord or two would poke out of the rest of the sound and it would be great. But that didn't hap happen pen very often. The addition of Michael Cozzi on guitar and Juano as bassist has clearly improved Sky Cries Mary. With Cozzi working on the most recent album, his guitar strength is apparent after listening to just a few songs. Tracks like "Stretched" show that Sky Cries Mary has evolved and improved. The studio effort carried over into live performance. Cozzi asserted his guitar, not by grinding down the rest of the band, but beautifully comple complementing menting the swirling sound of Sky Cries Mary. Cozzi's addition to Sky Cries Mary shows through especially in renditions of older songs. "Elephant Song" appeared on the Exit at the Axis EP in 1 992 as a sort of prototype of the Sky Cries Mary trancetechno sound; the song had very little guitar. "Elephant Song" live in 1 994 was twice the song it was on Exit at the Axis. Instead of one very weak guitar riff that just barely sticks its head out of the mix, Cozzi let loose with pow powerful erful riffs while Roderick screamed along with him. This is not to say that the whole song has been changed; it is still very much "Elephant Song." It is just better. Imagery is very much apart of the live Sky Cries Mary experience. Be Because cause that is what seeing Sky Cries Mary in concert is - a total experi experience, ence, not merely a evening out listen listening ing to music. SCM does have its roots in the theater ater and performing arts. This side to the band adds to the music and opens the audience up to the full experience.

Anisa came on stage looking like a cross between Cleopatra and a 1 920' s flapper. Roderick took the stage in robes and a large wig of some sort, a neo-retro-Jamaican look. Costuming is not the only com com-ponentof ponentof the visual experience. Slides of images from religious symbols to a drop of falling milk and moving, multi-colored fractals are shown be behind hind and even on the drummer. There were other more subtle images and objects. Sticks of incense were scattered about and paintings were hung high on the wall. With as much electronic, synthe synthesized sized music that Sky Cries Mary uses it would be easy to imagine their live show sounding just the same as their studio work. Not so. They sounded better than their CD's. Songs were easily recog recognizable nizable from albums, but the band improvised enough to keep things interesting and fresh. Prior to the show, Anisa and Roderick said how tired they were (this was the second to the last show on their lengthy tour). However, fa fatigue tigue was not evident on stage as Anisa hit every note with amazing beauty and clarity. Roderick leaped about the stage and writhed on the floor, seemingly convulsing, for half of the encore. Sky Cries Mary has a big sound. There are seven members of the band. But they don't clobber you over the head with it like a seven member ska band would. They have been described as space rock, technoambient, techno trance, retrospace rock, neo neo-psychodelictrancerock, psychodelictrancerock, and every combination thereof. But their sound caresses you, lulls you, and occasionally pinches you in the ass, just to make sure you haven't fallen asleep.

But, "Old Bones" fades into the chaotic, semi-punk "Stretched." People, who moments before were swaying peacefully, were instantly whipped into a moshing fenzy. During the encore, they played an older song off A Return to the Inner Experience, "Lay Down Your Head," which seemed to last forever. It was a little exhausting, actually. There was a drum solo which seemed to mark the end of the song only to have it erupt into full energy again. The moshers surged against the stage time and time again. One might question the connec connection tion between "ambient" and "moshing." To reconcile that, I would say that the Sky Cries Mary sound is like a magic carpet ride, but that doesn't quite describe it well enough. A carpet is thin and the SCM sound is very thick. Imagine, if you will, a magic feather bed ride instead of carpet. You sink into the feather bed; it al almost most envelopes you. It picks you up and carries you gently, dipping here and there, swaying in the breeze. But a ride like that, however tran tranquil quil and enjoyable, is boring after a while. The Sky Cries Mary ride will suddenly shoot upwards, bumping over pockets of turbulence and thun thun-derheads derheads before settling back down into the peaceful ride again. "Don't Forget the Sky" was one of the best songs of the night. It was played early in the show, before Anisa had a chance to really use her voice to its full potential. When Anisa hit the aria-like cho chorus, rus, the entire audience cheered. You could feel a collective shiver of de delight light run through the crowd as every note of her voice danced and soared in the air above us. Their's is some of the most beau beautiful tiful contemporary music around. The most beautiful song of the night was the last song of the encore, "Walk of Nothingness." This song combines the best Sky Cries Mary elements: the ethereal, dreamy ambient side, the majesti majestically cally gorgeous vocals, the new found guitar component, the grooving beat and bass. For someone who wants to know about Sky Cries Mary, this is one of the songs I would recommend. As the first chords of the song were played, the crowd began cheer cheering, ing, eager for something tranquil af after ter "Lay Down Your Head." Anisa reflected on the song after afterwards: wards: "We totally didn't know what we were going to play, just improvis improvising. ing. Then Mike started hitting those chords, and people went wild. It's such an obscure song; we haven't played it in a long time." There were few bad things about the show. La Luna is usually very smoky, which is something that re really ally bothers me about La Luna, but . that was even that bad. I missed the first opener, but I did see the second act, King Black Acid & The Electric Chair band. I thought a better opener should have been found. They seemed like one of those bands that might be really cool to listen to on CD, but they weren't that good in a live setting. An opener is generally supposed to warm the crowd up or set the mood for the main act. Black Acid did neither. A big disappointment for any fan of Sky Cries Mary was the fact that they did not play "Back to the Sea." This song was on their first EP, and is one of their best. However, I have not heard them play it since a show prior to the release of A Return to the Inner Experience.

Recycling Center enters by Erin Duffy Contributor If Recycling Coordinator Rory Greenfield has her way, the recy recycling cling bug will bite the entire Willamette community before the end of the year, Greenfield is gradually supplanti ng less efficient waste disposal methods across campus with an upgraded, sort-it-yourself system that may even turn a profit. Greenfield inherited the two-year-old recycling program last October, when the coordinator position finally became full-time. "Willamette is kind of in the dark ages as far as recycling goes " she said. "My goal is to bring us up-to-date with waste reduction tech techniques." niques." Willamette's big problem area is paper disposal: only 4 tons of paper are recycled monthly out of a potential 6 tons. "Tlje number . one priority is getting our paper under control. Have you overseen the floor of the UC on big mail days?" said Greenfield. Once the paper problem is taken care of, the recycling program will work to update the collecting process of other materials as well. The history of the Willamette Recycling Program is one of gradual improvements and money loss. The first system implemented was dubbed Simple Cycle, which collected every recyclable mate material rial in the same barrel and hired students tosort it. The second sys system tem used two barrels for white or colored paper, and also hired stu ' dent sorters to fish out high-value materials.

Campus Events January 20, 1995 The Collegian Statistics show crime reduction by James Fujita Contributor According to a new set of statis statistics tics recently released by the Office of Campus Safety, the overall re reported ported incidences of crimes in 1 994 was down from previous years. Categories ranging from Alarm Responses to Weapons Violations came to an overall total of 478, down from the 646 reported inci incidents dents last year. The results might seem remark remarkable able for a year in which crime be became came a major topic of political de debate. bate. For example, burglary dropped from 46 incidents in 1993 to only 16 this year, while Harassment dropped from 50 cases to 1 8. However, Cam Cam-jus jus Safety Director Ross Stout 5ownplayed some of the signifi significance cance of the statistics. In his analy analysis sis of what the statistics really meant, he attributed the sharp de decline cline in burglary "directly to the fact that we locked the residence halls 24 hours a day beginning January ' 1994". Stout also felt that the de decrease crease in thefts were due to the residence hall staff, in addition to the safety staff, taking a role in "educating people about being re responsible sponsible to protect their property, and the result of that has been people understanding that they need to do that, and therefore they are partici participating." pating."

This unusual occur occurrence rence happened partially because Whitman's style of play is a quick, small mans' style. With ten minutes left, it was down to a one point game, as Willamette sat back and relaxed. Willamette pulled back up a moderate lead with the help of Senior Jason Thompson, Junior Andy Hakala and Snyder's strong performances. Adelman and Hayter also pitched in for a 62-52 recovery off of a Julius Lowe basket with 7:30 left in the half. With 3.45 leftin the game, Duray Thirdgill scored a 2-pointer, and from there it was history. Willamette pulled a comfortable 82-71 win. The Bearcats Linfield win at home was another plus. They kept a steady lead throughout the game. Linfield was substitution happy throughout the game, substituting in as many as three players at a time. Almost all of the Bearcat players got play time as the team continued to work in the newest starter, transfer Lowe. The team overcame a .387 shoot shooting ing percentage by making 19 steals and working together on a stronger defense. Snyder led the team with 16 points, Adelman followed with 11 and Lowe had 10. Throwing Lowe into the line-up has caused the Willamette team to rethink its defense and offense. The team spent the first three games of break adjusting, losing to University of Puget Sound, 83-77, Oregon Tech by a close 7 1-70, and to Western Baptist. Luckily for the Bearcats, none of the games counted for Conference standings. "It's a matter of us taking up our execution offensively and reading the offense," James said.

As conference play began with the game against Linfield, the men were looking hopefully at starting a winning streak where they had started a losing streak. Saturday the men faced Lewis and Clark in an away game. With over 1 7 free throws missed, Thirdgill going 1 for 7 from" the free throw line, and others players faring close to Thirdgill' s success rate, Willamette lost, 59-62. The loss was untimely for the Bearcats, who had been counting on an undefeated record for conference play. "Overall it was an off night," said Adelman.

That may not be the case for much longer, as the seven members of the Northwest Conference, includ including ing Willamette, have applied for membership at the NCAA Division m level. Presidents of the Northwest Con Conference ference schools suggested the move in late November of last year. The seven schools would hold dual mem memberships berships in NAIA as well as NCAA Division HI for the next three years, while the NCAA re vie ws the school ' s programs to ensure that the school's meet all NCAA rules and regula regulations. tions. Upon approval from the NCAA, the seven members of the conference will be eligible for national champi championships onships at the NCAA Division IJJ level in 1998. Until that time, the conference will continue to be in involved volved in national championships at the NAIA level. George Fox, although they are not current members of the North Northwest west Conference, will also apply for membership to NCAA Division HI inthefallofl995. There is a possibil possibility ity that the University ofPuget Sound will apply as well. Willamette Athletic Director Bill Trenbeath thinks that it is time for the Willamette's Athlete of the Week Men's Basketball: Dave Snyder senior, guard Shelton, Washington After leading the Willamette men's basketball team to two conference wins against Whitman and Whitworth, Sr. Dave Snyder has been named athlete of the week. Snyder had 19 points and 27 points respectively as the Bearcats pushed their conference record to 3-1. Snyder has consistently been leading the Bearcats as they moved from the pre-season to their conference schedule. During the pre-season, Snyder was named the Most Valuable Player in the Willamette Tip-off and Western Oregon tournaments. He was also named to the all-tournament team at the Southern Oregon tourna tournament. ment. Snyder attributes his success to his hard work during the off season and because he studies the game. He had some help with his off-season work. "My mom would rebound for me every summer," said Snyder. He also credits the fact that he had the opportunity to play with Brian Mahoney. "He taught me what it really meant to be a point guard." Head coach Gordie James speaks highly of Snyder. "He plays with consistency at both ends of the floor. He's an intense ball ball-hawking hawking defender and a versatile offensive performer. He has the ability to knock down the big shots but possesses the intangibles to make gamemanship plays with or without the ball." Snyder's expectations for the season are simple and straightfor straightforward. ward. "I want us to have home court advantage in the playoffs and to play as hard as we can for as long as we can. Of course I want to get back to the national tournament to end my senior year. To not get back for the third straight year would be a disappointment." Snyder has made an impression on many people around him. Freshman teammate Kevin VanderBrink said, "Dave will be a lasting inspiration for me. He provides a silent leadership that is unmatched. additional awards nominees: Women's Basketball: Margaret Weber, center Women's Swimming: Laura Juckland Men's Swimming: Kirk Foster expand soon 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 beim liberal arts schools with broad based athletic programs and solid academic standards, are currently members of NCAA Division HI. Besides joining other schools similar to those of themselves, the members of the Northwest Confcr--ence will participate in what Trenbeath calls, "legitimate national championships." With only a small number of pro programs grams remaining at NAIA level and because those schools don not repre-. sent all areas of the country, NAIA' national championships have been anything but national. By moving to NCAA Division HI, the Northwest Conference will be involved in true national championships, considering that NCAA Division HI has member" that represent the entire country. Although the conference's deci decision sion 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. V Sports 11 January 20, 1995 The Collegian V Woman's Basketball Balanced scoring leads to winning streak for women by Matt Kosderka Staff Writer While students were enjoying heir winter break, Willamette's women's basketball team was trying to place itself atop the Northwest Conference. The Bearcats have pushed their overall record to 11-4 and conference record to 3-1 by win win-.ning .ning six of their last eight games, and Three of four conference match ups. Head Coach Paula Petrie felt that her team performed well, consider considering ing that they had a 10 day layoff. "I was pleased with the way they (the team) came back as far as condition conditioning ing and being ready to play," she said. Willamette' s last game before the end of the semester, had them on the road against Se- . attle University, who they had al already ready beaten ear earlier lier in the season at Cone Fieldhouse. Poor shooting lead to a nine point half-time deficit for the Bearcats. Al- though they shot better in the second half, Seattle's lead was too much to overcome, re-sultingina68-61 lossfortheBearcats. Then came the ten day break. It 9 seems the layoff was just what they needed. They came back with a convinc convincing ing 88-70 victory over Eastern Or Oregon egon in La Grande. - Willamette's 18 point victory would only be the start, as they came away victorious in their next four games as well. They earned their first confer conference ence win with a 76-67 home win over Linfield. The Bearcats then played their only road game during the break, coming away with a 88-58 confer conference ence win at Lewis & Clark. The final three games took place at the friendly confines of Cone Fieldhouse. The first game resulted in a 77-55 non-conference victory over Western Baptist. Willamette then won the first of a weekend confer conference ence series, by knocking off Whitman 64-59. Looking to increase their win winning ning streak to six games, the Bearcats finished the weekend series against Whitworth. Despite out-shooting and out -rebounding Whitworth, late turn turnovers overs led to a 71-69 defeat for the Bearcats. The loss was only their first in conference play, as they moved to 3-1. A road game at Concordia Col College lege proved to be a quick cure for Willamette, as they blasted an undermanned Concordia team 73 73-47. 47. The game not only got the Bearcats back on the winning track, but it also allowed Petrie to get everyone in the game. "I think it is im important portant to give quality time," she said. Petrie went on to mention that having experienced players on the bench could be vital in the team's success down the road. As for the starting line-up, the have been some changes. Junior Margaret Weber and sophomore Stacey Kruger have taken over start starting ing roles, but Petrie feels that her team is a solid eight players deep. She mentioned that the lineup would be set up according to the opponent's players. Regardless of who has been on the floor, the Bearcats have remained very consistent in their performances. The scoring has been spread out among all of the players, where early in the season, one or two players would provide most of the scoring.

Piper credits the point distribu distribution tion to the addition of Weber from a shoulder injury, Kruger from volley volleyball, ball, and sophomore Kristi Ell from soccer. She feels that these three players have given the Bearcats more ways to attack an opponent. "Our offense is not built around one player,'' she said. "It is designed to take advantage of the other team's weaknesses." One of Willamette's weaknesses has been greatly improved with the resurgence of Weber, who was an honorable mention All-American last season. "She's getting there," said Petrie, referring to Weber's return from the shoulder injury. Petrie felt that Weber was doing a good job on the offensive end, as well as being a team leader. The Bearcats take on Northwest College today, and will face confer conference ence foe Pacific Lutheran tomorrow. Both games will be played at Cone Fieldhouse, with today's game start starting ing at 7 p.m. and tomorrow's contest beginning at 5: 15 p.m. Petrie felt that as long as her team executes, they should win both games. A three game win streak would be a good confidence booster for the Bearcats, as they prepare for a tough conference game at Pacific on Thurs Thursday. day. "That's big," said Petrie of the match up with Pacific. She felt that defense may be the deciding factor.
