Burns described base baseball ball as "a startling mirror of our society" and an example of history taught from the bot bottom tom up. Burns described his history tory as taught from the top down for many years. He ex explained plained that historians and educators alike would have us believe that our history can be told by studying wars, large events and great people in the hopes that this information would "trickle down" and tell us something about everyday life in the past. History from the bottom up would repre represent sent a social history, a study of regular people and of the life and spirit of the time. "Baseball is played every everywhere," where," he said. It is a mirror of society and one of the por portals tals through which historians might view history from the bottom up. For example, the similarities between our cul culture ture and that of 1 869, the first year of professional baseball, when a man is quoted as say saying ing that "the game just isn't what it used to be when I was a boy." The game is still a M ' I 'i Ken Burns spoke to a full audience in Smith on Monday. His talk centered on his recent documentary Baseball. mirror, with the gridlock in our culture, and our Congress reflected in the recent base baseball ball strike. "They forgot they were custodians of something more important, " Burns said of the strike. There was a time, how however, ever, when perhaps baseball did not mirror the composi composition tion of society but its exclu exclusions sions and prejudices. "For those who call the 1930's and 40's the best years of America's past time, I say you cannot even call it the national past time," Burns said, refer referring ring to the exclusion of blacks from the game. And Burns maintains that the game re remained mained unrepresentative un until til "baseball' s finest moment moment-when when a black man trotted out on the field." However, he pointed out that baseball is also a prism, refracting its in influence fluence into society. On that day, when Jackie Robinson walked onto the field, a young man named Martin Luther King was at home watching. "In a sense, American social history made a profound turn that April afternoon," Burns said. At a question and an answer swer session, earlier in the day, Burns described the basis of all his documentaries. "I've just asked a simple question which is 'Who are we?'" he said. He addressed observa observations tions that his recent documen documentaries taries have come to be charac characterized terized by their length as well as their content. However, the explanations behind this as aspect pect of Burns' films also shed light on their quality. Burns uses what he calls "writing to the moment" which means that viewers should feel as if they are existing in the moment of the documentary to the extent that they don't realize what will happen next, even if what happens next is an American historical milestone such as Lilcoln's assassination. Writ Writing ing to the moment also sug suggests gests that history itself shapes the length and substance of the film. Burns described how important he feels it is to re refrain frain from tainting the history of his films with modern feel feelings ings and to "not suppose that because we're living now we're better than those be before." fore." He also revealed his See BURNS on page 16 Governor Kitzhaber identified the stumbling blocks of state government to state managers by Charlotte Jones Editor Prominant figures were such a regular part of campus this week, that Governor John Kitzhaber's visit went virtually unnoticed. Kitzhaber spoke to the State Managers Asso Association ciation Friday afternoon. He met with the group because, he said, "I think it's important to meet with people who are doing things at the manage managerial rial level and at the front line, too." The governor described three "stumbling blocks" that he has encountered in Oregon's government. He first confronted a widespread feeling among many people working in the pub public lic sector that the government isn't working for them. Kitzhaber believes it is important, there therefore, fore, to ask, "What is the function of government and are we achieving that?" His second worry stems from his observation that many state workers fail to take risks, and demonstrate what he calls "an almost institu institutional tional insistence not to make change." In order to incorporate risk taking and a desire for change into the government effectively, Kitzhaber told the group to have courage for their convictions, to persevere and to be accountable for any mis mistakes takes . Kitzhaber's third point stressed that it is important to abandon some autonomy and recog recognize nize that the state is more than its specific depart departments. ments. He advocated "meeting one another as partners and not as competitors." He described the relations between state government depart departments ments and the larger relationship between the public and private sector as a house of many rooms, each with its own function and responsi responsibilities bilities to the whole house. He told his audience, "I appreciate the contribution you make to this house, to the people who live in it now and those who will come later."

Tar o en Te by Arthur Allen Associated Press Pope John Paul II proclaimed himself "a pilgrim of peace" as he arrived in the United States for a five-day visit that will include his first address to the United Nations in 16 years. The pope reminded the airport crowd in New Jersey that his speech to the United Nations would come exactly 30 years after Pope Paul VI delivered the injunction: "No more war, war never again!" If the world does not set aside its rivalries and suspicions, John Paul said, "history and the Lord of history will judge us harshly." The Pope was greeted upon ar arrival rival shortly after 3 p.m. by Presi President dent Clinton, government and church officials and about 2,000 cheering Catholic school children who waved small Vatican flags. All stood in a light drizzle wait waiting ing for the Pope, who emerged from his jet making gestures toward the dark sky. He walked gingerly down the stairway, holding tightly to the railing. Clinton addressed the crowd before the Pope, listing peace ini initiatives tiatives that reaped dividends in ar areas eas such as Northern Ireland, Haiti and southern Africa. "Many of them were led by you, Holy Father, and for that you have the gratitude of all the American people," Clinton said. The Pope last visited the New York area in 1979, a year after his elevation to leader of the Catholic Church. During that visit, he breezed through a grueling schedule and generally impressed all with his vi vitality. tality. Time magazine dubbed him "John Paul Superstar." Sixteen years later, questions frequently surface about the 75-year-old Pope's health. He had to cancel his visit to the United States last year because of a broken hip, recovered slowly from hip replace replacement ment surgery and until recently walked with a cane. Still, he looked vital on the flight from Rome. "You can see I feel well," John Paul told reporters. "The pope is still alive." Students who hoped for a glimpse of the Pope waited on the tarmac for several hours in an inter intermittent mittent drizzle, clutching small Vatican flags. Two were from St. Anthony High School in Jersey City, where 38 of 305 students won a lottery for a spot at the airport.

Six arrested in Sierra Leone coup FREETOWN, Sierra Leone (AP) - Six military officers were arrested and two more were sought in connection with a foiled coup attempt in this west African nation, the government said. Details of the plot were vague, and the report on state-run radio did not explain how far i. had pro proceeded ceeded before being halted Tuesday. An army major, two captains and three lieutenants were arrested and being held at Freetown's prison. They were expected to face treason charges, which carry the death penalty. Two lieutenants were still being sought, and the radio urged citizens to "apprehend them at all costs or report their whereabouts to the security forces." Other than the radio announcement and the sol soldiers' diers' presence on the prison road, there was little evidence of the event in the capital. Shops opened as usual. It was the second reported plot against the military regime of Capt. Valentine Strasser, who seized power in an April 1992 coup that ousted a civilian govern government. ment. In addition to leading one of the world's poor poorest est countries, Strasser 's government is trying to crush a rebel army that began a civil war four years ago. Judge bans publication of article CINCINNATI (AP) - A federal judge today un unsealed sealed court documents and will allow Business Week - and any other news organization - to publish stories based on their content, partly defusing an important dispute over press freedom. At the same time, however, the judge let stand an earlier order that had prevented Business Week from publishing a story based on the documents while they were still sealed. The effect of that ruling could prevent news organizations from publishing stories based on sealed documents in the future. Business Week welcomed Judge John Feikens' order unsealing the documents but said it would still challenge his earlier order in court as a violation of First Amendment guarantees. The documents concern a lawsuit by Procter & Gamble Co. against Bankers Trust Co. over complex and risky financial investments called derivatives. P&G claims it was duped by the bank over the use of these securities and lost $195 million as a result. Last month Business Week was about to publish a story based on sealed documents in the case but Feikens ordered the magazine to withhold the story. Business Week has been challenging his order ever since. "I have held that Business Week magazine unlaw unlawfully fully obtained court-protected confidential informa information tion in this case and that, accordingly, it may not use and publish such information," Feikens wrote today. But Feikens' accompanying order making the documents public effectively made bis first order moot in this particular case. "No substantial governmental interest has been shown for the continued protection of the previously sealed documents," he wrote. Feikens said he made both orders effective at 4 p.m. EDT to allow Bankers Trust and Business Week time to appeal to the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Ap Appeals. peals. The deadline "means anyone can use them (the documents) after 4 o'clock," Feikens said at his office in Detroit. He would not comment further.

While the policy attempts to spell out the role of the Univer University sity in neither encouraging nor discouraging the use of alcoholic beverages, it also contains stipulations that are neither grounded in reality nor reason. One example of this delusion of rationalism can be found in an obscure little rule under section III, number 7, "The area used for an activity at which alcohol is served or consumed will be cleaned by users immediately following the activity." Implementation of this ambiguous idea was ob observed served af ter the first registered fraternity parties of the academic year were celebrated. First, the phrase "immediately following" is nebulous in and of itself. What does this mean? Does it mean a half hour after the official end of the party? Or does it mean an hour later? Or could it possibly be that it must take place before people go to sleep? Perhaps it means "imme "immediately" diately" in terms of geological time, giving the frater fraternity nity several thousand years to comply. Or could it be interpreted to mean sometime in the next twelve hours (like after everyone has gotten a good nights' rest) when people are ready to put in a solid effort of cleaning the next morning? This ambiguity makes compliance and enforce enforcement ment virtually impossible. If students and staff have diverse interpretations of the same policy, conflict will invariably ensue, spawning an adversarial divi divi-siveness siveness that can only garner the campus community undue heartache and difficulty. Second, if the phrase should be interpreted to mean within an hour or two of completion of the event (most fraternity functions end at 1 :00 a.m.), then this expectation is completely ludicrous. There is no pre precedent cedent for this type of enforcement - ever - and for good reason. The decorations for registered functions take days to set up and require several hours of intense effort on the part of all hosting organizations to clean up, traditionally done in the afternoon on the follow following ing day. It is impossible to expect people who have been dancing, socializing, policing and regulating and partying for the past four or five hours to then stop what they are doing and clean up into the wee hours of the morning. The authors (and enforcers) of this policy should take a second look at this policy provi provision sion by grounding it in a realistic framework. If "immediately," as used in the wording of this rule, does have an exact definiton, it is vital that this be made known to the student population. However, if this policy is intended to be as ludicrous as it has been enforced, the origins and rationale behind it must be made public. Frozen brains undermine Constitution With all of the recent clamor over constitutional amendments against flag burning, for a balanced budget, and against and for a whole host of other issues, one crucial subject has not been broached by the Republicans, Democrats or even those pot-smoking, dirty-tricks dodging, Larry King loving, down-home metaphor us using ing Perotistas. There's a reason that this sub subject, ject, a personal project of mine, is taboo to the mainstream politicians. Their brains have been frozen.

However, this glib answer ig ignores nores the possibility that his brain were to be frozen for future use. If this new brain were im implanted planted in the body of some willing Young Republican (and trust me friends, if Aldous Huxley is right, there will be even more of donor brain for Dan them in the fu future), ture), would that new being be al allowed lowed to run for the position of Commander in Chief? The Republicans had a similar disaster when the Quayle was left at a Denny's in Tallahassee. since he was both elected presi president dent and acted in that role. This trend, however, is noth nothing ing new. Remember the missing brain of John Kennedy? No, I don't mean the Cuban , Missile Crisis, I mean the rumor that JFK's brain had been hijacked before his burial. Sources from inside my head tell me conclusively that his brain was going to be put into the body of a young Boy's Nation leader named William Jefferson Clinton, but a terrible accident left only the Southern dialect and insatiable li libido bido intact. The Repub Republicans licans had a simi similar lar disaster when the donor brain for Dan Quayle was left at a Denny's in Tal Tallahassee lahassee amidst controversy over a sixteen percent tip and a stale The 22nd Amendment to the Constitution says "No person shall be elected to the office of the Presi President dent more than twice, and no per person son who has held the office of President, or acted as President. . .shall be elected to the office of the President more than once." Republicans are especially troubled by the third clause of this statement because it would put their hero Reagan at a disadvantage, plate of cheese fries. . . Unfortunately, there was little time to find a new brain that matched Quayle' s hat size, so he was forced to borrow some of Barbara's grey matter. So, dear readers (or at least that ten percent who have made it this far) where does this leave us? I don't know about you, but I'm still right here. Not for long, though.

Laundry came first because my points were simpler: conserve water and energy by not washing as often and wearing more than once. In addition to the basic virtue of conser conservation, vation, there was the simple joy to be found in the act of drying or washing clothes. These ideas require simple re-valuation of what is important to living as a human being. Now clothing is difficult. Clothing is not just cloth you put on your back or pull over your legs. It is fashion, style, statement; it represents economic, social, physical and sometimes spiritual concerns. I argue that you can escape most economic or social con concerns. cerns. This is another chance to re-value beliefs that you unconsciously assume by living in America. Clothes provide for physical needs such as warmth. They help carry small important items (keys, rabbit's foot, pocketknife). Warmth and utility represent our physical needs for clothing. Clothing provides status via the expres- Wayfaring Familiar Robert O. Brown sion of wealth, uniformity and deviation from uniformity. Owning new or expensive cloth clothing, ing, dressing in imitation of peers, or dress dressing ing in violation of taboos are examples of how clothing provides social and economic status. You can easily identify people's rank and role in our society by looking in their closets. This fact exemplifies the social and economic influence of clothes. The spiritual concern clothing represents is only sometimes present. How is clothing a spiritual concern? When it somehow threat ens. If you're on a mountain pass, sweaty from the hike, and your jacket does not pro protect tect you from the wind, you will start to rethink what you're wearing; not whether it' s socially acceptable, but whether it'll keep you alive until you can get down and get warm. Questions of life and death are often questions of the soul. But clothing can corrupt. This, too, is a question of the soul. Have you sold your will to decide by being convinced to buy certain clothes, or dress a certain way? This happens when one uncritically buys into messages broadcast to the masses: you have to buy new clothes for summer, for the school year; you have to wash them weekly, they must be perfectly clean when you put them on; you need clothes that show you're upstanding, cute, pretty, clean-cut; you need clothes that show you're in the military, in business, a member of one or the other gender, or one of millions of baseball fans. Why do you need any of this? This does not keep you warm, nor really make you any of these. You are being subtly convinced that clothes are not for physical, but rather, for social needs. Go backpacking: you will think less about how your clothes look, and more about whether they keep you warm. Try living with little. It builds spirit. You can wear clothes for spiritual rea reasons. sons. To avoid corruption, simple, inexpen inexpensive sive and down-to-earth clothes are best. One must critically question the real purpose of clothes: Warmth, utility, identity to others (cops should still have uniforms). But to save yourself from the material demise all Americans face, buy simple. Buy second-hand. Better: make your own clothes. Buy less and wear more often. Find joy in the unsophisticated by being simply and warmly dressed.

In politics today, a can candidate didate pays money to present an image of themselves in order to induce voters to vote for them. However, there is one crucial difference between the two worlds. In advertising, the cli client ent foots her own bill, but in politics, the bill is most often paid by everyone else. People invest money in can candidates didates because they want a re return. turn. They want to see their poli policies cies and viewpoints enacted. Money buys votes and also buys candidates' opinions. Is this fair? It depends upon whether the desire is for equal opportunity or equal result. If equal opportunity is the goal, we must drop barriers to allowing other candidates to run. We must allow parties to get their names on ballots without creating legal hurdles. We must also open up debates and other forums to alternative candidates.

Don ' t choose fromwhatyou arc given, give yourself more choices. Nobility lost in decadence You take a man, any man, and he is capable of endur enduring ing only so much deca decadence. dence. There is only so much he can take. But not Franz. He could take so much. Decadence was not just his end, not just his means, but indeed his lifeblood, his sine quanon. "Melt me down," he once exclaimed, lounging slack-slung in post-bacchanalian repose (and, for once, sa satiated), tiated), "and you will find a per perfectly fectly round, seductively blue eye, winking vilely." But this was not enough, this flippant conjecture, not enough to express the inexpressible signifi significance cance of his decadence. So he tried poetry, and once read aloud an ef effort fort which he felt "most concisely and yet ambiguously" represented his attitude toward that pinnacle of decadent immersion: the sex act. The poem, (which unwittingly fore foreshadowed shadowed Franz's future undoings) ran thus: 'Who cares, I said If he's left for dead As long as he's right Tonight' This was delivered at yet an another other orgy and brought nervous laughter from the reveling throng, many of whom were unsure of just how 'right' they had been (and many others who probably should have been left for dead, or at the very least taken at face value). Franz himself chortled and called the poem "devilishly succinct." With a flick of one huge, flabby, hairless, be be-jeweled jeweled hand, he waved away all suggestion of debate and with the Stereotaxis Matt Missel other snapcalled for the descent of the fifteen liqueured neon candela candela-bras, bras, each sufficient to keep the "drunkest bastard drunker than ever for three days on end." This pre precipitated cipitated general agreement that Franz, aside from being magnani magnanimous mous as hell, was a class act of the highest order. Franz's occupation suited him well; he looked like a lech. His entity was imposing in its' enor enormity, mity, his appetites mammoth, his desires colossal. His cherubic fea features tures found gross amplification in a set of rosy-red bulging cheeks and a mop of white curls which grew, in spirals, a foot off his head, held in place by a magenta crown gaudily bejeweled. His eyes were an inno innocent cent and bizarre gray, but flecked with an undermining red. His face, taken in full, appeared to have no infrastructure. It neither became nor had become. It just was. Ulti Ultimately, mately, Franz, in his middle-age, resembled no one so much as a well-scrubbed VictorBuono, or, as some have maintained (I not among them) a more seductive Orson Welles, lacking that great man's rhetorical flourish, but also lacking, for the good, that sinister groping air which so characterized the Technicolor Welles. Franz's hands, too: flabby, white, hairless, they too were be bejeweled. jeweled. "The procured profferings of a thousand fearless Persians" was Franz's take on the jewels welded into his hands. Whither these de derived rived was a mystery; Franz himself maintained that one jewel would simply appear, every thousand days, as punishment for his "occasional lapses into that horrific realm of self-denial." But self-denial was fast becoming the least of Franz's wor worries. ries. In fact Franz had taken deca decadence dence to a new low, to depths inex inexcusable, cusable, inexplicable even. The list of ungodly transgres transgressions sions he undertook is far too long and much too miasma-inducing to document here. I mention only that when a man, however prone to sub subversive versive debauchery, states publicly that the only problem with necrophilia is 'a puzzling lack of reciprocity' he is pretty much headed down the slipper road to his own personal Cliffs of Anath Anathema. ema. It was once said of Franz that "he was so bad, he put guilt to shame." Perhaps that represents the highest compliment you can pay a man. And perhaps, that being said, we should take our leave of Franz, Guardian of Decadence and De Debauchery, bauchery, and turn instead to more noble, more becoming horizons. Students create campus angels, devils Students love to demonize people. Look at Stuart Tennant, for example.

To prove this relationship, Basu analyzed, among other things, the writings and political statements of Rich Richard ard Overton and the Third Earl of Shaftesbury. Overton was a supporter of Liberalism (a Leveler) during the English Civil Wars of 1640s. He belonged to the lower middle class and produced pamphlets that used humor in an attempt to promote Liberalism. "I would say Overton was one of the first liberal theorists," said Basu.

The cognitive ramifications of humor include the realization that truth and knowledge are perspec perspec-tival, tival, a method of handling hot topics, entry into the closed mind and a way to show all points of view in a society.

Basu went on to describe the Third Earl of Shaftesbury's use of humor. Shaftesbury was from the upper class.

He told the audience that Phelps is scheduled to tour with B. B. King in the future. His CD has sold more copies than any other under his label. The musician started playing with little talk. Phelps didn't play his guitar in the traditional way; he set his instrument flat on his lap and plucked the strings. The first song started as a rolling melody that built on soft harmonies and beat. As the song progressed, the music became stronger and built into the strong rhythm of classic blues. It was then that Phelps added his own voice to the guitar. His songs seemed to blend together at times as a result of the long guitar interludes between his singing. Phelps played several blues songs.

The Collegian October 6, 1995 Healthier lifestyle transforms Kaneko 4th floor 8 by Travis Brouwer Staff Writer When most people think of college life, avoiding drugs, alcohol and smoking while eating nutritious meals and working out do not usually come to mind. However, a new Wellness Program is attempting to change this by making a healthier lifestyle available to those who want it. Located in the west wing of Kaneko Hall's fourth floor, the Wellness Program provides an envi environment ronment free of al alcohol, cohol, drugs and to tobacco. bacco. All 32 resi residents dents of the wing signed a contract in which they agreed to abstain from use of these substances on the floor. The contract did not cover residents' be be-havioroutsideofthe havioroutsideofthe dorm. The residents of the Wellness floor, mostly freshman, have a variety of motivations for joining the program. For Freshman Barry Nelson the motiva motivation tion was a fear of roommate incom incompatibility. patibility. "I de cided to join be because cause I didn't want to get stuck with a room roommate mate who got drunk every night or was a druggie," he said. Miki Fowler, Kaneko's drug and alcohol representative, enjoys having a safe haven free of alcohol. "I like the idea of having an environment in which I'm not around a lot of drinking and smoking," said Fowler. Beyond helping students avoid drugs and alcohol, the program intends to use program programming ming to promote community and physical activities. In mid-September residents climbed the South Sister, and there is talk of skydiving, trips to Portland and paint-balling. The floor currently has a few pieces of exercise equip- lounge which will be added to when the re remodeling modeling of Sparks Center is completed. Although the program was conceived of last year, the task of trans transforming forming the idea into reality has largely been left up to residents. For example, the weight equipment and a nutrition pro program gram are being put in place by residents, who are also modify modifying ing the contract. A council has been formed to implement these programs and decide how to spend $500 the wing was allocated. Jeff Dallaire, Resident Director of Kaneko Hall, agrees that the program still needs some work. "I only wish it were more developed at this point," he said. "We have the outline and Kaneko 4th Floor West NUMBER OF RESIDENTS: 32 THEME: The wellness program seeks to provide an environment free of alcohol, drugs and tobacco, with an emphasis on a healthy lifestyle and nutrition.

It's an exciting project and I'm really looking for forward ward to developing it to its full potential." The floor's Resident Assistant, Jose Torres, is also excited about the program. "Because this is the first year, there's really no vision of what the program's supposed to be. At this point, it's open as to what this place could become. It'll be a challenge to create a new community. " Torres also noted that thus far he has enjoyed his job and has had no problems with rule violations. Not everyone is happy about living in a drug and alcohol free wing. According to Leo Kowalski, who said he unwittingly signed the contract "amid a frenzy of paper-signing," he is one of at least five people on the floor who did not want the behavior restric tions. Even though he wasn' t overjoyed about being in Wellness, Kowalski has resigned himself to his fate. "It's restrictive in some senses, but I'm not mad. There isn't much I can do now. Ijust have to live with it," he said. Jon Franco is another student unhappy about being placed in the program. "People come to college to have some freedom, and when you live on the Wellness floor you don't have that freedom," Franco said. Despite detractors, residents see great potential for the program. "I'm really excited about it, especially being the first year. I'm sure it will grow once we get more publicity out, so we're hoping to expand it to a full floor next year, " said Fowler. LGBA challenges stereotypes through history month by Melissa Prichard Staff Writer Three gay men and two lesbians participated in the first march for gay' rights in 1965. Twenty-two years later, more than 600,000 people marched for gay rights in Washington, D.C. In recent years, the movement for equal rights for homosexuals has spread to almost every town and city, even the Wil Willamette lamette campus. The month of October was de declared clared Gay, Lesbian and Bisexual History Month by Governor John Kitzhaber. In celebration of this month, the Lesbian, Gay and Bi Bisexual sexual Association (LGBA) will dis disseminate seminate information and host spe special cial events. "Our goal for this month is to educate students on the accomplish accomplishments ments and significant contributions that gays and lesbians have made throughout history. However, it is difficult to fully represent the con contributions tributions that gay people have made, since being gay was usually hidden. Unless historical figures made their sexuality known, we are NOW SEQUITUR not sure who was really straight, gay or bisexual," said Christy Mont Montgomery, gomery, one of the Gay, Lesbian and Bisexual History Month orga organizers. nizers. "LGBA decided to divide the Gay, Lesbian and Bisexual History Month into four sections to focus attention on the different aspects of history that known homosexuals have influenced. Each section will focus on a different topic," said Sarah Kimball, also one of the Gay, Lesbian and Bisexual History Month organizers. The first week will focus on homosexual stereotypes, lingo and symbols. The second week will ex examine amine the historical events, court cases, politics and religious stand standpoints points that have shaped the move movement. ment. The third week will look at gay and lesbian contributions to movies, music and other types of art. The final week will focus on books and poems written by homo homosexual sexual authors. Special events will include Na National tional Coming Out Day on Oct. 11, "Safety Zone" and a regional meet meeting ing of Basic Rights Oregon. Na tional Coming Out Day is an event started by the Human Rights Cam Campaign paign Fund. It is a day where people can choose to make public that they are gay, lesbian or bisexual. On this day, LGBA will be hosting an Ice Cream Social at 8:00 P.M. in Cat Cavern. At this function, an interview with An Andrew drew Sullivan (au (author thor of Virtually Normal) will be shown. Also, music performed by gay and lesbian musicians will be played all day in the Bistro. For the "Safety Zone" on 11, LGBA will set in the UC where people can come and pick up buttons that have a pink triangle encircled with green. This button allows others to know that the wearers of the buttons have des designated ignated themselves a "safe person" who does not discriminate because of sexual orientation. ink vsm A " Oct. up a table BY VllK The regional meeting of Basic Rights Oregon, a political organi organization zation whose goal is keeping Or Oregon egon laws free from discrimination will be Thursday, Oct. 26, 7:00 p.m. in the Cat Cavern.

"We hope the Gay, Lesbian and Bisexual History Month posters, table tents, box stuffers and spe special cial events will challenge com mon stereotypes people have of homosexuals. This month is an important way to educate people about homosexuals - who they really are and what they have accomplished," said Mont Montgomery. gomery. "I think Gay, Lesbian and Bi Bisexual sexual History Month is something that is needed since there is a lack of education about the gay movement.

This is the first year Willamette has organized a full month of ac activities tivities to commemorate Gay, Les Lesbian bian and Bisexual History Month.

Florida Feature: October 6, 1995 Hie Collegian ECOS unites students with environmental concerns by Joah McGee Contributor Even the most established university clubs and organizations have trouble talcing time from busy students' lives. For this reason, a membership of 1 30 students in the first month of existence would be considered a dream come true for the leaders of most beginning clubs. The Environmental Career and Outreach Society (ECOS) has en joyed success here at the start of the school year, much to the pleasure of the club' s co-founders, se seniors niors Jean Prijatel and Shirley Thomas. "Last year, we went to Oregon State University for a conference," said Thomas, "and in it we saw possible careers in envi environmental ronmental fields." Both agreed that more direction was needed for careers in environmental fields, and at the encour encouragement agement of Professor Joe Bowersox, the club was formed. "The original idea was to simply help students in environmental careers," said Prijatel, "but then we realized that it would be really good to bring speakers to campus, create volunteer opportunities, things like that." The two seniors filled out the necessary forms, and after a written constitution and appointed positions, it became an official club at Willamette. "We totally weren't into a hierarchy," said Thomas, commenting on the mandatory presidential and other positions which must be appointed. Now, in what Prijatel describes as a planning stage, ECOS has already started to arrange events. One upcom upcoming ing event seeking to inform students about the future of environmental science will be a lecture by David Orr. Orr will be coming this week to discuss envi environmental ronmental educa education tion for the 21st Century. Orr's speech will be 8:15 p.m. on October 12 in the Hatfield Room of the library. Uniting students with common interests "The original idea was to simply help students in environmental careers, but then we realized it would be really good to bring speakers to campus, create volunteer opportunities," -Jean Prijatel co-founder of ECOS in nature, the environment and service was the impetus for a field trip to Opal Creek that ECOS co-sponsored along with Circle K and the Outdoors Club. "We went out to Opal Creek, an old growth forest, and restored some of the old trails on September 23," said Prijatel. ECOS also put on a barbecue that was attended by more than 30 members. "It was really great to see so many people show up in an age of environmental degradation," said Thomas. It is also a goal of the club to take part in social events, such as movies, hikes and other activities, as well as setting up a page on the World Wide Web. "But exactly why we exist," said Prijatel, "is to use each other as contacts and resources - to help each other out in getting internships and such." However, Prijatel and Thomas do not want to enjoy success during only this year. Both have expressed a desire to see the club stay on the Willamette campus for years to come. "I would call this successful if it will continue; if we can show underclassmen that this is worthwhile," said Prijatel. "It really does need to continue - this is not only for Environmen Environmental tal Science ma jors, it is a universal issue." "It can go wherever the members want to take it," Tho mas said in affirmation. "I hope it continues to work toward environmental community self-esteem." Both also credit Bowersox with strongly encouraging them to get the club started. "He's highly thought of by ECOS mem members, bers, a very approachable and supportive person," said Prijatel, and Thomas added, "The seed was planted by Professor Bowersox. He's really a mentor." Health Center reform seeks to improve accessibility by Rindee Paul Contributor The Health Center has under undergone gone some changes recently, in including cluding adding two new staff mem members bers and some additional hours. Clinic Manager Vickie Simpson was excited to say that changes are in store for the Health Center. The reason for these changes is due to several things, the first of which is the creation of her position. Before, her jobs were split up and spread around to the other people of the clinic. No one had the time to take on these jobs as well as their own, and things didn't always get done. Now, they are more likely to. The other new position at the Health Center is Insurance Clerk Teach English in junior and senior high schools in Japan Learn about Japanese culture and people Rain intfirnatinnal p.xnfirifinrfi t -" r Have an excellent command of the English language Obtain a bachelor's degree by June 30, 1 996 Be a U.S. citizen Be willing to relocate to Japan for one year Applications are now available for program beginning August 199S.

Clinic Assistant Abigail Hoffar. She works part time at the clinic and takes care of student's health insur insurance ance problems. This job used to be a part another job in the Business Office. Simpson feels that having it in the Health Center will make it more accessible, and therefore more effective for students. With the addition of staff, it has become possible to change hours slightly so the clinic hours are more accessible to students. Tues- """" days and Thurs Thursdays days the clinic is now open during lunch for walk-ins. One of the other changes that is taking place is not in the Health Cen Center ter itself but rather is coming from the ASWU Senate. Senate has formed a board to look into making up a committee to advise the Health Center of student concerns. I n the past, students have had various issues or complaints they want to see resolved," This board was suggested to the Senate by President D'mitri Palmateer. Palmatcer said, "In the past, students have had various is issues sues or complaints they wanted to see resolved." There was no proactive way to do this, which is why the commifee is being formed. Palmatcer hopes that this board will act as a go-between for stu students dents and staff of the Health Center. Students can go for problems they want resolved, and " the staff can come back to the stu students dents and explain why or why not something has happened. Palmateer sees the biggest problem as being a lack of awareness, and feels this will eliminate that. The final change for the Health Center is the new voice mail, which allows students to leave a message or change appointments 24 hours a day. -D'mitri Palmateer ASWU President 1 is 1 1 : I UUI Uillj IlVUIlf USJl VIIH I litital YS d c c d Drop Pocket Only.

This clas classic sic German proverb has guided manya freshman at Willamette for time immemorial. Sophomores, jun juniors, iors, and seniors too, for that matter, have subscribed wholeheartedly to this philosophy. While it is not our intention to lecture about the evils of demon alcohol, orcaution against the perils of over indulgence, it is unfortunate that many people do not stop to appreciate the finer quali qualities ties of beer before or while drinking themselves to oblivion. We live in what is arguably the best all-around beer producing re region gion of the world. As beer expert R. S. Petersen of Syracuse Unversity puts it, "People in the Pacific North Northwest west take the quality and diversity of their beer selection for granted. Other regions may have one or two craft breweries that are surviving, although many are of dubious qual quality ity compared to those in the North Northwest. west. Oregon and Washington sup support port no less than a dozen major microbreweries, all recognized as producing the highest qua! ity of beer, and dozens of minor breweries, producing a vast range of lagers and ales." The success .of the' microbrew industry in the Pa cific Northwest is due in large part to the cultured palate of Northwest residents. to the microbrew revolution of the early 1980s, Americans who desired a more complex, higher quality brew looked to imported beer to quench their thirst. The Northwest led all other regions of the U.S. in per capita consumption of imported beer during the 1970s. It was only natural for a microbrew i ndustry to be born , mature and pros prosper per in our portion of the country. Oregon breweries excel at pro producing ducing a superior product no matter what style of beer is being brewed.. A particular joy of the Northwest beer market is the diversity of choices available to the consumer. At the same time, though, it is easy to be overwhelmed by the sheer number of styles and brands, espe especially cially if when shopping somewhere besides the Quik-E-Mart. We imagine that there are a fair number of people out there, per perhaps haps new to the region, or perhaps just new to good beer, who would like to start developing a taste for fine ales and lagers, and would like to learn what brands are worth buy buying. ing. We want to help. It wasn't so many decades ago that we trained our young tastebuds to appreciate the subtleties of beer. We did it the hard way, without guidance from knowledgeable friends or relatives. Despite the growth of the rest of our bodies, the growth of our palates was stunted by the warm cans of cheap beer foisted upon us by our well meaning friends. We waited far too long to try , as a friend of ours refers to microbrew, "adult beer." Our lack of adult beer knowledge, our ignorance of styles and brands, our youthful foolishness- all of these forced us to try them all: the good, the bad and the ugly. And oh, at times it was ugly. There was this one time, it was Halloween, and . . . but we digress. Any way, we are devoted to making sure those of you fol lowing us do not undergo the same amount of punishment we did. We have created this short list of promi prominent nent beer styles and descriptions with the microbrew challenge in mind. We list brands that are gener generally ally regarded as good examples of their particular type; later this year we will provide more detailed de descriptions scriptions of the different brands and their strengths and weaknesses. Usually-called Hefeweizen by Northwest brewers, this style of beer is light and refreshing. Hefeweizen is pale yellow in color, and very opaque, although there are some filtered, clearer versions of wheat beer out there. It has a tart, almost citric flavor when first tasted; the. wheat usually is tasted mostly in the finish. This beer is very easy to appreciate for those without an edu educated cated palate- and that lemon in your beer provides some much needed Vitamin C. (Pyramid Hefeweizen; Widmer Hefeweizen). The description of Pale Ale comes to us from England, where in centuries past, any beer brewed that was lighter in color than porter was referred to as "pale." Today, this word andor the word "amber" are used by Oregon microbrewers to describe a beer that ranges from light reddish-brown to very deep amber in color, and gen generally erally is medium to thick in body. It is much more powerful in taste than the common lighter ales and lagers one may have been exposed to; it is usually considerably maltier and much more bitter, with a hearty aroma of hops. Although initially strong tasting, many of these beers end on a slightly sweet note. To the neophyte, this beer often seems a little too bitter or malty, but a taste for it can be acquired relatively quickly and easily (Full Sail Am Amber; ber; Bridgeport Blue Heron). Cgitter Also from Britain, the Ameri American can version of this beer is generally lighter in color and body than its British cousin, and a little more cirst taste for a novice beer drinker Imagine waking up one day to find out that there are now hundreds of variations of milk. Whereas pre previously viously the two choices for drink drinking ing milk were whole milk and two percent, there are now literally thou thousands sands of different kinds, each pro produced duced using intricate formulae for preparation of innumerable ingre ingredients. dients. I faced a similar situation not long after my 2 1 st birthday. A friend of mine introduced me to the North Northwest west variation on the ancient tale of the ardent alchemist creating de delightful lightful little concoctions in search of some unattainable goal. The goal in this local version of course is the perfect microbrew. On my first foray into the world of local brewing, I sampled a porter with a head thick enough to be kept in a separate container which had the color and consistency of a choco chocolate late shake. Having only recently moved up in the world of beer from can to bottle, I would recommend this to anyone who understands the differ difference ence between Henry Weinhard's and, say, Blitz Weinhard. On the other end of the spec spectrum trum was a pale ale which I found to be on the shallow end in compari comparison son to the depths of the porter. To my uneducated taste buds, this ale was acrid and unfamiliar. It tasted like a Big Mac bought at the McDonald's just down the street from the Kremlin - all the ingredi ingredients ents were there but it just didn't seem right. I suppose that I could learn to like it, but, for right now, I'd rather not. I decided to end my night at the pub with a stout that was as thick as a cheesecake, and which probably had a couple more calories. The stout was a good choice for dessert for other reasons as well. Its full-bodied flavor would definitely not be easily appreciated if it were the first sip of the night. For other novices out there, I would recommend any of the above, although most beginners should probably begin with either the por porter ter or an ale. Pubs and microbreweries often have tasters which include five orsix samples of their different specialties. text by Qcm CgecfcwitFi carbonated.

This" is probably not a good beer for someone new to microbrew to start out with, but like amber, it is an easily ac-; quired taste (Redhook Ballard Bitter; Bridgeport Pintail). (Porter A traditional type of ale that was almost dead commercially, here and abroad, until being picked up by microbrewers in this country; Northwest brewers led the charge in reviving this classic. Because of its black, murky depths, Porter appears a lot meaner than it is. Porter is very heavy in body, although some of the recent porters produced are slightly lighter than tradition dictates. The taste is very rich and malty, smooth, and without a hint of bitterness (if it is good). While this beer may take some getting used to, it is not nearly as threatening as it appears-a lot of people even like it on their first try (Nor'Wester Blacksmith Porter; Deschutes Black Butte Porter). Stout Most experts would agree that the undisputed world heavyweight champion of Stout is the Guinness brewery located in Ireland. They produce what can only be described as black gold in their Dublin dream factory; but risking abuse by tradi traditionalists tionalists and attacks from the IRA, we think there are Oregon Stouts .that have nearly equaled the majes majestic tic Guinness. ..... , In appearance, Stout is blacker than the deepest darkest depths of a traffic cop's heart. Atop this unbe lievably heavy black body sits a thick and creamy head. In taste, Stout is among the most complex of brews. The nearly over overwhelming whelming rich richness ness of this beer combines with a menacing bitterness to produce a dense, almost impenetrable taste, but one that is worth working for. Due to its sturdy body, stout has been described as a meal in a glass. Accordingly, this is usu usually ally one of the last beers a microbrew fan learns to appreciate. But don't let these ominous statements pre prevent vent you from trying one- they are definitely worth getting to know (Rogue Shakespeare Stout; Deschutes Obsidian Stout). This list is by no means com complete. plete. There are many, many other styles of beers brewed in the north northwest west worthy of attention: Browns, Pilseners, Berry Beers, Light Ales, Red Ales, Bocks and Honey fla flavored vored beers. The desire to learn, an open mind and an open mouth are all that is required to apprehend the pure, unadulterated pleasure a perfect beer can bring. Try as many of these as possible, but don't try them all at once. Remember: quality, not quan quantity, tity, is the goal here.

Dancing at Lughnasa, (written by Brian Frial and directed by. Cynthia White) is set in Ireland in 1936. The play focuses on five sis sisters: ters: Christina (Stephanie Timm), Rose (Emily Strang), Maggie (Shana Cooper), Agnes (Darcy Jensen) and Kate (Stacey Bean). However, the play is in the unique perspective of Michael (Michael Brusasco), the "lovechild" of Chris Christina, tina, as he looks back on these days many years later and pops in to comment on the events that are tak- : ing place. Gerry (Zachary Fischer) plays the flighty father of Michael, while Jack (Rod Ceballos) is the malaria stricken uncle who has re returned turned from being a priest in a leper colony in Africa. I was pleased the moment I walked into the theater. Gravel crunched under my feet and there was even grass growing along the sides of the aisle. The sets looked good, and I could have sworn I was in some Irish peasants' sod roofed house. As the play opens, the five sis sisters ters are grouped in the kitchen, do doing ing chores and trying to get a wire wireless less radio to work and play their favorite thirties tunes. Little Michael (who is invisible-you'll understand it when you see it) is out working on some kites. The sisters personali personalities ties begin to show through early. Kate is pious and anal retentive, while Maggie (my personal favor favorite) ite) is bawdy and wild. Rose is childlike and dreamy, while Agnes is like a pair of sensible shoes. The conversation topic moves to the "Festival of Lughnasa," which is a pagan harvest festival that in involves volves drinking, dancing and mu music. sic. All of the sisters get jazzed up about going, but then Kate's anal tendencies kick in and she forbids any of them to attend the festival. ' All of the sudden, something unexpected happens. The radio kicks in, blaring out Irish drum music, and Maggie just loses it. She lets her hair down (literally and figuratively), rubs flour all over her face and starts screaming and danc dancing ing around the kitchen. Strange, right?

In fact, Father Jack has become some what of a pagan himself, and he often relates tales of how enjoyable ritual ceremonies are. Next, Gerry wanders up the lane towards the house. You see, he only visits about once every year. Chris Christina tina is elated to see him, and they talk outside of the house. Gerry relates his adventures as a gramaphone salesman, while Chris- tina giggles along like the prover proverbial bial school girl. Then, they begin to dance around the front yard, while the sisters (Agnes with a gleam of jealousy in her eye) watch from inside. It took me until about this point to figure out what this play is about.

But, every once in awhile, just for a minute, they are released from this prison. The radio will kick in and music will infuse the house and their bleak lives. They can dance, and forget their unhappiness. They can sing, and live it up a little, and they can feel love without fear. Sounds pretty deep, huh? The best part is that the play is not hard to understand and that there is some fine acting (even the Irish accents are good).

The last two punk bands to break into the mainstream, Green Day and The Offspring, did so vith gimmicks.

I enjoy this positive atti attitude tude and I believe that it has a place in the rock world, but it is discon disconcerting certing the first time you hear such uplifting lyrics meshed with music that is traditionally focused on the dark side of The Force. This mixture resulted in my friend asking whether we were lis listening tening to a Christian punk band. With the help of the next song, which was full of profanity and other not so pure thoughts, I was able to con vince him that this wasn't the case. This album has sixteen songs, but a running time of only forty minutes. This leaves you with a number of thirty second snippets of sound that happened to be given names and called songs. The few songs that I truly enjoyed were "Set Your Goals," "So Far, So Good . . . So What?" (which if I have been keeping up with my metal head t t-shirts shirts is a rip-off of a Megadeth album title), and of course "Can't Wait One Minute More." This is a "fun" album, with a few messages. If you are searching for great musicianship then this is not the album for you. On the other hand, if you want some fast paced punk with a new twist, then this album is right up your alley. It was in the second mode that I was able to enjoy this album. If you let your yourself self go and just sing along with the music and become overly animated in doing so, this album can be a blast.

Oregon by Jennifer Miller Staff Writer Willamette's football team came away with a disappointing 23-15 loss to Southern Oregon Saturday afterdefeating Western Oregon only a week prior. The team no w has a 1 -2 record. Saturday's game started out all wrong for the Bearcats, with SOSC scoring two touchdowns and PATs in the first ten minutes of the game. Willamette gathered strength enough to gain a touchdown with a few minutes left in the half. Sopho Sophomore more Chuck Pinkerton sneaked for a one yard touchdown, scoring for the Cats on a total of 8 1 yards in 12 plays. In the second quarter, senior Geoff Huetten caught a 22 yard pass from Pinkerton and sophomore Gordon Thompson' s PAT was good to give the Bearcats a one point lead with only a few minutes left in the . half. The goal was to leave the score the way it was until after half time, but Willamette lacked the control it needed, and the Raiders scored on a 13 yard pass but did not make good on the PAT attempt.. - The third quarter consisted of a battle that resulted in three more points earned for the Raiders when a 25 yard field goal was made with six minutes left in the quarter. Neither side scored in the fourth quarter, leaving the Bearcats riding the bus back from Ashland sorely disappointed with the 23 23-15 15 loss. Many players blame the prob problems lems the team experienced during play of penalties. "Penalties killed us," said Dawson Williams. Third year head football coach Dan Hawkins blames the loss on ASWU puts together Homecoming events by Andrew Bernhard Editor The annual Homecoming game is a always a major highlight of the football season. It will be even more special this year because ASWU has coordinated events to build up to the game itself. A Homecoming planning com committee, mittee, led by ASWU Vice Presi President dent Gar Willoughby and home homecoming coming Chairperson Rebekah Stewart, has been meeting regu regularly larly for the last six weeks to sched schedule ule events. Homecoming t-shirts have been on sale since Oct. 6. They will be sold until Oct. 13 in Goudy Com Commons, mons, Jackson Plaza and at football games. The shirts will cost $8. They will focus on the theme, "Bearcat Attack; Back with a Bang." Homecoming events will really gear up next Friday with the Powderpuff Football game. Powerpuff, coordinated by Sarah Zachry, Angela Listug, Sarah Brimlow and Rhiannon Kruse, will include 60 players. Kickoff is set for 6 p.m. in the quad. The female teams will be coached by male Varsity Football players, but, according to Stewart, "powderpuff will be a chance to see the women show the men how the game is really played." The game will be followed by a pep rally, during which head foot football ball coach Dan Hawkins will get a chance to fire up the crowd. ; ...-, s- .-. . j . - U S V X J . J 1 ) l ; , !,!?'

As to why so many penalties keep occur occurring, ring, Hawkins can't give a precise answer. "It's tough to tell why," he said. "I think that when you have teams that play hard you have more penal penalties. ties. I don't think that it's a case of you have sloppy playing, it's just that you have inopportune things getting called." "I think we just had lots of lack of execution for us offensively in the third quarter," he said. "We made one mistake in the second quarter that gave them a touchdown basically, but other than that we played fine. Our de defense fense played a pretty good game," Members of the Homecoming planning committee discuss the upcoming events during a meeting in the University Center. The evening will be capped by a fireworks display. Geoffrey Kantor led the effort to organize the fire fireworks. works. "I hope everyone will be able to attend our pep rally," Willoughby explained, "but if they can't I hope they will be sure to peek their head outside at the sky. The fireworks show will be a blast." The homecoming game itself will begin at 1:30 p.m. at Ogdahl Field in McCulloch Stadium. Half Half-time time will feature the presence of the WU Danceforce. Stewart has led the dance team, and said, "They will perform one intense, energetic, pumped updance ball during Saturday's loss. The said Hawkins. Willamette's offense did not have an altogethe bad game, with 222 yards rushing as compared to SOSC's 92 yards. The Bearcats passing and receiving game were far below SOSC's however, with 166 passing yards to SOSC's 299. Willamette faces Eastern Or Oregon egon State College this weekend at home in a 1:30 p.m. game. Hawkins feels that despite their record of 0-3 they still have a good team. "They are way better than their record shows," he said. "They've played everybody tough and have good personnel." Hawkins feels that their return returning ing quarterback, full back and their defense are all strong. number." The evening will conclude with a dance at Goudy, scheduled by Amy Paetsch. "It will be a casual, come as you are dance," Willoughby explained, "It will be special be because cause we will all be celebrating our victory over Linfield." Willoughby looks forward to the upcoming weekend, but says, "Homecoming planning has been a little frustrating. We're somewhat frustrated that other school sports teams will not be able to participate in the pep rally as they will be away playing games." He wishes that everyone were able to participate in the events. W z i I a we t re Bo x S c o k e s L 4i " ' . : J Mt.

Sports 14 The Collegian October 6, 1995 Cross Country team hosts race A t h I e t e of The week by Jeremy Hall Contributor Jamie Barton sophomore Sophomore Jamie Barton led the Bearcats to three straight wins over the weekend of September 21. She scored both goals in the Bearcat' s 2-0 win over Portland State, all three goals in a 3-0 victory over Pacific Lutheran, and two goals. Barton added another goal last week against George Fox, bringing her season total to nine, and the team record to 5-0. "As a forward, I need to score and enable my teammates," Barton explained, saying that being a team player is her true goal. Barton refuses to take credit for her own success without saying how indebted she feels to her teammates. "We have great coaching, some great returning players, and the freshmen are playing really well." "Jackie (Liebler) has had a great season so far and leads the team in assists," Barton praised her team. "I'd personally like to have more assists like her." "Robin (Heard) is also a great goalie," Barton added. "In tight games, like the one against PLU, she really provides a sense of security. And Kristy (Ell) takes control of the midfield and always gets the job done." Barton has high hopes for the season but said cautiously, "We're taking it a game at a time, but our ultimate goal is to get to the national tournament." With two more years of soccer still ahead of her, Barton thinks that, "My goal is just to get better and better every year and to be a truly be a team player." Volleyball by Matt Kosderka Contributor Pacific Lutheran brought the Rachel Snowdon show to Cone Fieldhouse this past weekend. The Women's Volleyball team was for fortunate tunate that she didn't have much of a supporting cast. In what will go down as one of the top matches of the season, the Bearcats held off PLU's upset bid, v i n n i ng a dec i s i vc fi ffh game , keep keeping ing themselves atop the Northwest Conference of Independent Col Colleges leges with a perfect 5-0 record. "It was a wonderful match," said Head Coach Marlene Piper of her team's 15-9, 10-15, 5-15, 15-10, 15-11 victory. Coming into the match, Piper knew that her team had to find a way to shut down PLU's fast paced in the 5-0 victory over Pacific. Barton is no stranger to big scor scoring. ing. Last year, as a freshman, she set the Willamette record for most goals in a game with seven against Western Baptist. She also led the team in as assists. sists. "God," Barton says is the reason for her success. "The goals were the result of a lot of prayer and the help of great teammates that make me look better than I am." team outlasts PLU, winning final attack led by Snowdon, the team's only senior. Playing against Snowdon and PLU was like playing against Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls, in that Jordan can be counted on to score thirty plus points in every game. All one can do is try and stop the rest of the team from contributing. That was exactly the case for the Bearcats, now 13-3 on the sea season, son, as Snowdon continually found Willamette's side of the floor, while the rest of the PLU team was shut down by the Bearcat defense. After an early exchange of ral rallies, lies, the Bearcats finally took con control trol of the first game and looked to be headed for another easy three game victory.

While this year was no different holistically, the hosting Bearcats achieved varying degrees of success. Aftersuffering from exhaustion and heatstroke last week at Whitworth, the Bearcats rebounded in impressive fashion. Freshman Beth Fitzgerald, the team's iron woman throughout this year, broke theelite 19:00 barrier with her 18:57, ninth place finish With senior and team-captain Carrie Morales close behind, (19:10, 15th) and complemented by good efforts from freshman Tonya Sand Sanders ers ( 1 9:47, 35th), junior Amy Astle, (20:09, 55th) and freshman Megan Savage (20:15, 60th) the Bearcats are living up to their original billing as the best team Willamette has fielded in twenty years, yet are posed to finish fifth in conference. "Its a little frustrating to have so such consistently performing talent on the team and be in the best confer conference ence in the country," said Morales. "We raced so well as a team and we don't have much to show for it." The Bearcats finished sixth overall, behind conference mem members bers Pacific Lutheran and George Fox, who along with absent Whitman, are three of the top five teams in the nation. Linfield also beat Willamette. On the men's side, the good news is that the Bearcats emerged from the meet with the 24th spot in big guns, senior Brandi Row and junior Alicia Wright. Pacific Lutheran jumped out to early leads in the second and third games, which were too much for the Bearcats to overcome as PLU took the lead two games to one. "It was interesting watching the kids react," said Piper. "You can lose 15-0, and it's history. Then you can come back and beat them 15-2 in the next game. These women (Willamette) never give up." Staring down a loss to a confer conference ence contenderon their home court, the Bearcats roared back, taking the fourth game and sending the match into a final rally scoring fifth game. In a rally scoring game, where either team can score regardless of who is serving, one quick run is all a team needs to win.

The bad news is that the race was marred by sub sub-par par performances and three men were sidelined by sickness. "While I was ecstatic with the womens' results, I was disappointed with the men," said James. "We just have to break out and find the incentive to run to our ability.

With the momentum back on their side, the Bearcats jumped out to a quick lead, as Row, Wright and the rest of the offense got back in their groove. They then held off a fierce PLU rally to win the game and the match. "It was wonderful," said Piper of her team's comeback. "I thought there was kind of a confidence loss in games two and three." A key factor in slowing the PLU attack, especially in the final two games, was the Bearcats ability to block PLU kill attempts with either a double block or a solo block. Two big blocking contributions came from unexpected sources, in freshmen Kathy Fisher and Rosie Allen.

What may have been the decid deciding ing factor in the match was a new rule, which allows the server to serve from anywhere along the end line. Willamette continually took advan advantage tage of the rule change, placing serves all over the court, which helped slow down the PLU attack.

The team now has an eight game winning streak, improving their record to 8-2 overall and 4-0 within the Northwest Conference. Also impressive is the number of differ different ent players who are contributing to the team's goal total. Many fresh freshmen men are receiving plenty of playing time and the team is getting hard play from all players. Friday's game against George Fox was a 1-0 shutout for keeper Robin Heard. The single goal was scored by Jamie Barton and assisted by Jackie Liebler. It was not a high scoring game but the Bearcats were able to get the job done and win the inportant Northwest Conference game. Also, the win made a good way to finish off the month of September. The two teams will meet again when Willamette visits George Fox on the 28th of October for the second-to-last season game of the year before the NCIC playoffs. Two days later, when Wil Willamette lamette met the non-varsity Uni University versity of Oregon team, the Bearcats opened October with a solid win. Playing without leading scorer Barton, who was taking a one game rest, the Bearcats won on the strength of goals by freshmen Laura Newkirk and Rachel Alenduff, Alenduff s goal came off of a pen penalty alty shot in the second half. The Bearcats looked in control for the entire game and were never really threatened by Oregon. Al Although though this was not an NCIC match, Willamette managed to keep fo focused cused on continuing their winning.

In the second half, the Bearcats were stopped by nothing, Linfield ' s defense was rendered helpless as Willamette broke the game open with five unanswered goals during the half to finish the game. The Bearcats received goals in the second half from Liebler, Courtney Kelley, Barton, and Bree Krosschell. Liebler finished the game with a hat-trick, the second goal of which came 17 seconds after the beginning of the second half. Barton continued her scoring ways extending her scoring streak to seven games, one in each Wil Willamette lamette victory save the gave against Oregon in which Barton did not play. Barton's goal did not come until late in the second half. Prior to her score, Barton had many chances, but seemed unable to put the ball in the net. Comment Commenting ing on her difficulty, Barton said, "it became almost comical by the time I scored. I was actually becom becoming ing rather frustrated." Seeing how his team has done over the past few games, coach Jim Tursi said that he is very impressed and glad to see the development the team has gone through. Indeed, it is impressive to see the improvement this team has made since their first two games. If they hope to continue into the post-season, it is important that the team continue to play as they have been, since the remaining eight sea season son games on their schedule are against NCIC opponents.
