Further, it is this element of teamwork that RAs feel they can count on to make it through both the good times and the rough periods that come with the job. Parra added that, "although it might sound a little cheesy, training helped me realize that I'm not do doing ing this for just one year, for just nine months. I've learned things I'll use for the rest of my life." In fact, it is one of the Office of Residence Life's expressed goals that students who become RAs use the experience to grow personally and expand their horizons. Many former Willamette RAs go on to become Resident Directors at other universities around the country. One of the last elements of RA training was an interactive simula simulation tion called "Behind Closed Doors." This training session afforded RAs plays ranged from a belligerent salesman to a student struggling to come to grips with his sexuality. All the RAs expressed a tremen tremendous dous feeling of preparedness for whatever issues their hall or floor community might deal with this school year. In addition to training, the RAs have been hard at work preparing their halls for new and returning students. A long day of training, room inventory, putting together en entertaining tertaining or educational bulletin boards and preparing door tags taxes the RA staff's energy reserves. Many of them put in long hours and late nights to have everything up to their standards before the halls open to students. RAs also play an important role during Opening Days as they ac acquaint quaint new students to Residence Life and campus activities through hall and floor meetings as well as social activities. ASWU President D'mitri Palmateer, a former RA in both Doney and Haseldorf, commented that "it is nice to have someone there to give new students support. Often times there are some serious issues that new students deal with, and an RA functions as both a re re-. . source and advocate for these students."

As of last spring, the ORL provided a full-time Resident Director (RD) for Doney Lausanne, MatthewsBelknap, Baxter, Kaneko, and the Satellite Halls (WISH, Shephard, York, and Lee) and a part-time RD in the Haseldorf Apartments. ! This fall, the RD staff has been trimmed to four full-time positions serving Doney LausarineLeeY ork (quickly be becoming coming known as the "West Side"), MatthewsBelknap Baxter (the "East Side"), WISH ShephardUniversity Apart Apart-mentsHaseldorf mentsHaseldorf Apartments, and Kaneko.

ARDs receive compensation of an apartment in a residence hall, a 'C' board plan, and $650 per academic year. Also new this year is the Community Assistant (CA) po position sition in the University and Haseldorf Apartments. The CA position has roughly half the responsibilities and compensa compensation tion of a Resident Assistant in a residence hall. Each apartment building has two CAs who share on-call duty responsibilities. Unlike an RA, a CA has the option of living with a room roommate. mate. Other changes include the creation of the position Greek Residence Director to supervise the Fraternity House Directors. Privacy: how to respond when RAs knock by Mark Furman Editor It is a Friday night. The music is loud, the lights are low and then knock, knock. Who's there? It's your Resident Assistant. A visit from an RA is not the end of the world. RAs are bound by their job description to confront a situation if they can see, hear, or smell a policy violation. Their job is to assess the situation, inform you of University policy, and make sure the situation is both safe and legal before leaving. Of course, you can choose not to open the door when an RA knocks. However, this constitutes a violation of the standards of conduct, namely Obstruction of Staff in Per Performance formance of Duty, which will inevitably re result sult in an Administrative Hearing and the sticky question, "Why didn't you open your door?" Also, be aware that if you choose not to comply with University policy when an RA confronts you and you continue to disturb your residence hall community, the next knock at your door could come from Campus Safety or even the Salem Police Department. When RAs confront a room, they will ask to speak with the residents of the room either in the doorway or out in the hall. In order to respect your privacy and maintain their own safety, an RA will only enter your room in an emergency. An RAs will explain what viola tions they hear, see, or smell, gather any information you are willing to provide, and then explain what you need to do in order to bring the situation back into compliance with University policy. If you have any questions about the policy, do not be afraid to seek clarification. If you are a visitor to another hall and are confronted by an RA, you should cooperate fully. Your host is responsible for your ac actions, tions, so anything you say or do could affect them as well as you. It is especially important to provide ID when requested. If you break policy and cannot prove you are a Willamette student, Campus Safety may issue you a trespass warning and escort you off campus. This makes attending classes fairly difficult. Following any confrontation, an RA will fill out an Incident Report that objectively details the encounter for his or her direct superior, the Resident Director. An IR con contains tains information on why the RA confronted the situation and what happened when con contact tact was made with the students involved. It is important to realize that how quickly and cooperatively you comply with policy is included in an IR. This often has an effect on the eventual outcome of the confrontation. It looks much better in an IR if an RA can note that you were extremely cooperative as op opposed posed to antagonistic or rude. Any disciplinary action taken by the Uni versity will come only after the RD has had a chance to talk to you about what happened and get your side of the story in a conduct meeting. You will also be allowed to read the IR filed by the RA. The conduct meeting is also the place to air any concerns you may have about an RA's behavior when confront confronting ing you. Finally, understand that the best way to avoid having an RA confront you is by com complying plying with all University Standards of Con Conduct duct and Policies. If you choose to break policy, realize that all RAs are compelled by law (ask your RA about "Risk Management") to confront your behavior and alert you of campus policies. i ' ' :''t RENT A FRIDGE! f SANYO COMPACT SIZE HIGHEST QUALITY LOWEST RATES FREE DELIVERY Winter Rates: S50 wS5 Deposit Total $55 September thru April RESERVE YOURS NOW! flORTH PACIFIC REFRIGERATOR REflTAL 0011311-7259 Feature; August 25, 1995 Hie Collegian Shopping, playing and sightseeing can be an adventure, or at least a good way to escape your room by Lydia Alexander Editor Although the frenzy of Opening Days activities may seem all-encompassing at times, it is inevitable that a few hours of unoccupied time will eventually arrive. There are a lot of ways to spend this time, such as rearranging desk drawers or vacuuming the room for a third time. Or, instead of scaring your roommates into thinking the most ob obsessively sessively clean person west of the Cascades occupies the bottom bunk, take this opportu opportunity nity to explore Salem. Willamette has the distinction of being located in the heart of downtown Salem, and many activities await those who are willing to set out on foot. Shopping Inevitably, one will need to do some shop shopping, ping, whether to pick up essentials, gifts for your friends at home, or food for the small 0 refrigerator under the bed. Conveniently lo located cated on the corner of 12th and Center Streets is Safeway, the closest grocery store for Wil Willamette lamette pedestrians. Once your room is stocked with enough groceries that you won ' t need to go to Goudy for a month, head to downtown Salem for O window, gift, and personal shopping. There are dozens of specialty stores downtown, including Ranch Records (456 Court Street), a mecca of new and used CDs and tapes. In the center of the smaller, privately owned shops offering great window, souvenir, and trinket shopping is Salem Centre (401 Center Streetl Skybridges and multilevel depart department ment stores make it easy to spot this shopping center. Salem Centre boasts all of the popular clothing stores such as Nordstrom, Meier and Frank, JC Penney's, the Gap, The Limited, and Eddie Bauer, as well as a busy food court, hair salons, a pet shop, and a toy store. ' Check out the smaller-scale shopping area at Pringle Plaza, which is located west of campus on Liberty Street, which includes several new and used book shops, a wig store (in case you want to go incognito to an on on-campus campus event), and a post office. Find out what's playing at the nearby Salem Cinema, which features a variety of foreign and do domestic mestic films in an intimate setting. Most blockbuster movies can be seen at the Salem Centre Movieland, which is located near Sa Salem lem Centre on the corner of Marion and High Streets. Finally, Mission Mill offers shopping a little closer to home, just a hop, skip and jump across 12th street and across from Kaneko. Inside, one can find shops catering to nearly every creative impulse imaginable, from the Bead Garden to shops selling yarn, antiques, stationary, and Christmas paraphernalia.

Ham Hamburger, burger, sandwich, and a variety of ethnic food restaurants can offer a pleasant respite from the charms of the Bon Appetit food service, allowing one to conserve DCBs as long as possible. Just across the street and on the corner of Mill and 12th, is the Ram Border Cafe and Sports Bar. Traditional grill fare, including hamburgers, specialty sandwiches, and a variety of appetizers including quesadillas, nachos, and fried mozzarella sticks are avail available, able, and in large portions. For the few people who are able to finish an entire meal, an array 0 of desserts are available, including Mud Pies large enough for three and ice cream pota potatoes. toes. However, the Ram is temporarily closed for renovations until September 5th. Red Robin Burger Emporium, which is a short drive from campus at 3760 Center Street NE, offers a similar selection of grilled foods including gourmet hamburgers, a var varied ied collection of dinner entrees, and refill refill-able able drinks. Known for its lively atmosphere, Red Robin is a popular choice among stu students, dents, especially since it is open late, unlike many Salem eateries. There are several independently owned sandwich shops close to campus which offer a variety of soups, .sandwiches, breads, and desserts. Dcja Breez, which is across 12th Street (practically in Baxter Hall's backyard) offers casual dining and delicious lunch spe specials. cials. Milkshakes, desserts, and bagels, are popular choices for students wishing to supplement their Goudy diets. Also a quick walk from campus, the Arbor Cafe, located at 380 High Street, and nearby Salem Centre, offers the full range of deli specialties, in including cluding espresso and coffee drinks, though its prices are on the higher end of sandwich shops. Cheaper, less immaculate, but tasty sandwiches are available at Big Town Hero, at 405 Court St NE. In addition to hamburger and sandwich shops, a variety of ethnic food restaurants provide excellent food, atmosphere, and new experiences for everyone. India Palace, in downtown Salem at 377 Court Street, offers a wide array of traditional Indian food. Two or more guests can partake of its specialty dinners, which offer endless courses, includ including ing appetizer, rice, vegetable, meat, and des dessert sert dishe. Dinners are served at a leisurely pace, so there is plenty of time to get to know your roommate and his or her parents, and vice versa.

On Campus Also be sure to check out the wonders of the campus you are now funding and will soon consider home. The Star Trees located at the far corner of the campus are a fun place to start and since they're so close to the Art Building, try to get in and see what's in the Hallie Brown Ford Gallery on the fourth floor. Behind the Art building is the Japanese Botanical Gardens, the benches inside are a great place to sit while finishing that World Views book. Visit Waller Hall: the red brick building with the famous cupola which graces the Willamette letterhead, and check out the well-worn step on this historic old building before you peek in the Cone Chapel on the second floor. Afterpaying homage to Willamette's past, take a leap into the future by visiting Kaneko Hall. Here, hi-tech activities await, including the AV room, which is stocked with trillions of movies one can watch on a big-screen TV with surround sound. Kaneko is the only building on campus where one can watch cable TV: catch up on MTV's The Real World and compare your own roommate situ situation ation with this one. Bring a swimsuit to the outdoor pool, and enjoy it while it lasts: the pool closes at the end of September. After spending an afternoon exploring the wonders of the Willamette campus and nearby downtown Salem, consider yourself a true resident of the area, pick up your sched schedule, ule, and get ready for the next Opening Days activity. Eatinrfin: wtmre So (jo on campus by Charlotte Jones Editor Anofhersummer turns to fall and above the sound of construction and excited fresh freshmen men rings the distinct sound of exuberant chefs preparing Willamette's three eater eateries. ies. Goudy Commons, the Cat Cavern and Kaneko Hall are all heating up, so read on for the complete guide to the best meals on campus. Though it may be the butt of many campusjokes, Goudy Commons has some saving graces. The central dining area of Willamette strives to accommodate as many students as possible with its grill, pizza counter, and a salad bar. Lunchtime selec selection tion can usually be counted on for a larger and more varied selection than all-you-can-eat dinners. One thing can be counted on at every dinner, however. Ice cream is always available for those willing to wait in line for the sticky scoopcr, and occasion occasionally ally a new batch of brownies adorns the dessert area. Beware the frosted brownies, however, as it is always difficult to say just how new they really are... The definite king of dinner desserts, however, is the brownie sundae or fruit cobbler which is so good that Bon Appetit just has to serve it in the great room, which are dished up with a sweet smile. Lunch at the Cat Cavern is similar to what Goudy serves up at its grill area, with more grilled food to choose from. The Cat also has sack lunch-type items such as fruit, yogurt, and bottled drinks. There may be fewer choices to drool over, but at the right times the Cat allows students to escape the feeling that one must earn lunch by fighting off hordes of fellow diners. The lines arc often shorter and the atmosphere more tran quil and conducive to conversation. Breakfast at the Cat is excellent. The grill is open, and there's usually coffee cake and a selection of bagels which lasts somewhat longer than Goudy's. It makes a good place to stock up on Snapple and bagels for the mornings when 15 more minutes of sleep sounds more appetizing than either dining complex. Across the skybridge, in the gut of Tokyo International University of America, dwells Kaneko Dining Com Complex. plex. Though it is the official eatery of Kaneko Hall, ID cards from all Willamette students are accepted there. Many stu students dents claim that Kaneko's smaller size makes the food taste less institutionalized. Some of its other merits include terrific rice that doesn't come in clumps, a salad bar with green lettuce (whoa!), and great desserts. Most students from the other side of the tracks might not think of trekking to Kaneko for breakfast, but there arc three reasons everyone should consider it: do do-nuts, nuts, donuts, donuts. In previous semes semesters ters (mainly the last one) Dunkin' Donuts has staked out its own spot on the dessert table of Kaneko for breakfast,, and some sometimes times even at dinncr.The good donuts go quickly, though, so be sure to arrive early. A fourth dining option on campus ex exists ists within the three sorority houses which adorn Willamette's south side. To gain entry to this dining paradise, however, one must be a member, a pledge, a houseboy or invited by one of these. So Sororities rorities hire their own cooks, so the food is probably the closest to mom's you'll find on campus. Within each sorority every everyone one eats the same thing at each meal so there is generally little choice. ditorial. h The Collegian August 25, 1995 Enter the Savages, stage left EdiTomals Baby, you can drive my car We at the Collegian remember the parking crisis that many commuting Willamette students and employees encountered last year. There is no easy answer to traffic congestion, but we would like to take this opportunity to encourage Willamette commuters to explore alternate forms of transportation. Although Salem's public transit is limited, there is adequate bus service for commuters who keep regu regular lar business hours. Bicycling or rollerblading to and from work takes cars off the road and allows one to exercise during a normally sedentary part of the day. How about walking to school or work? Try it sometime. Pedestrians are not bound by one way streets or roads in general. If you don't believe that single occupant vehicles are a waste of space, try standing on the corner of Mission and 12th during rush hour. Most cars come equipped with four seats, and mini-vans often have space for seven or more passengers. Carpooling takes cars off the road and out of the Willamette parking lot, and if traffic is bad, you have people with whom to commiserate. If even a fraction of the Willamette community were to cast off their cars in favor of an alternative mode of transportation, we would begin to see a significant reduction in parking snarls in campus lots. Remember - you do not need a parking place unless you drive a car. Savings found in Safety Wi "hen it comes to the Fire Marshall, Life and Campus dards. If an electrical accessory is not up to safety standards, it simply cannot be used. Heavy-duty grounded extension cords and grounded and fused power strips meet the safety expectations, and stu students dents are both encouraged and compelled by campus policies to use these for their electrical needs. Fused and grounded power strips and grounded extension cords are available on campus from both Campus Safety and the Willamette Bookstore. How However, ever, the smart shopper need look no further than the Office of Campus Safety. The Willamette Bookstore offers two varieties of power strips that fetch $7.95 and $9.95. At $5, however, Campus Safety's power strip is clearly the better value. In addition to saving a few dollars, you can rest assured that the Fire Marshall has already approved Campus Safety's power strips. Campus Safety also offers a Fire Marshall endorsed 9 foot extension cord for $5 - a 95 cent savings over the bookstore's similar model.

Hie Collegian Live rocks fans and neighbors August 25, 1995 0Voices Concern Review ZBand played so well that city officials received several noise complaints and later handed concert organizers a $10,000 fine. Enthusiastic fans poured into Salem's L.B.Day Amphitheater last weekend to see the band Live. De Despite spite the long wait in the blistering heat caused by general admission tickets and having only one en entrance trance to the arena, fans were not disappointed. P.J. Harvey and Veruca Salt dominated the stage while daylight could be had, but as soon as they departed the crowd erupted into cheers. When the sun finally disap disappeared, peared, Live stepped forward to greet the screaming masses. The haunting chords of "The Dam at Otter Creek" began to rise slowly out of the darkness. As the song about death and sadnesspicked up, the lights flashed on, temporarily blinding the audi audience ence and illuminating the band. A small wave of excitement spread through the crowd at first sight of the band, but it would have been easier to-get excited about a song which made some sense. As the band rolled on into "Sell "Selling ing the Drama" without pause, how however, ever, lead singer Ed Kowalczyk's intensity increased. He began to perform with his usual passion and seriousness, apparently deeply moved by his own music. The crowd joined him in his Allende's latest endeavor blends fiction, fact Book Review Isabel Allende's latest novel, Paula, is a personal account of Allende's own struggles as her gravely ill daughter enters a coma in which she remains for the last year and a half of her life. Allende blends her trademark ability to tell stories with touching personal narrative in this novel, which she began as a collection of stories to tell her daughter after she woke up. "Listen, Paula, and I am going to tell you a story, so that when you wake up you will not feel so lost," begins Allende as she begins writ writing ing by Paula's bedside in a Madrid hospital. Family history is recounted for Paula, who is introduced to the re remarkable markable spirit with which her fam family ily faced life. Paula overflows with romance, political intrigue, and some of the most richly drawn char characters acters to have entered an Allende novel. Although Paula is a depar departure ture for Allende who is best known for her fiction writing, the shift from fiction to nonfiction is the only major change in this book, which maintains the spirit, color, defiant cry against religious abuse, "Hey, now we won't be raped. Hey, now we won't be scarred like that!" Kowalczyk quickly look con control trol of the show. Gone was the bald singer of the "I Alone" video and the possessed-looking vocalist of "White Discussion. " Dressed in black, Kowalczyk appeared as he first appeared to the world in the video for "Operation Spirit," clean-shaven with a crew cut. When Live at last took a break, Kowalczyk was out of breath and sweat was pouring down his face, obviously giving everything he had for the concert. He paused to ex explain plain that people had been com complaining plaining that the concert was going to be too loud and added, "What I want to know is where these people are living. ..I went outside and all I saw was a bunch of horses!" During the concert, however, at least 20 noise complaints from resi residents dents were received by city offi officials. cials. Afterwards, the organizers of the concert were fined $ 1 0,000. Yet, the concert was hardly loud. I spent the evening not 20 feet from the stage and when I left my ears weren ' t even ringing! Live mellowed out somewhat after "Waitress. " They brought out a wall decorated by posters of ev everyone eryone from R.E.M. to Malcolm X. The band played a song by a little-known band with Kowalczyk singing from a seat on a comfy couch. Kowalczyk also dedicated the final track of "Throwing Cop Copper" per" to Dwight Yoakam and others. It was the only time he broke a smile throughout the concert. While Live played most of the songs from its more successful sec second ond album, the selections from their significantly underrated first album "Mental Jewelry" were unfortu unfortunately nately lacking. Fortunately, they and enchantment of her previous novels. Certainly any novel which com combines bines a history of the Allende fam family ily along with an autobiography of Isabel Allende herself makes for interesting reading. The Allende name itself brings up memories of Salvador Allende, Isabel Allende's uncle, who was the first freely elected Marxist presi president, dent, in 1 970. Three years later, he was killed in a government coup, in which the United States played a prominent role. Just as her uncle was part of the political revolutions of his day, Isabel Allende was a part of the social revolutions of her day, work working ing as a television commentator and as a journalist-columnist for a Latin American feminist magazine. Allende was forty years old before she began writing fiction seriously and only considered herself a full full-time time writer after her third novel was published in the mid 1980s. In the novel, we learn about Allende's clairvoyant grandmother and her diplomat father, who was so disliked by her mother's family that after they divorced, he was forever eliminated from every photograph and story in the family. There are stories of Allende's romantic youth, lifeless marriage, and the path which leads her to ... i : W jr- V'l did play the first three songs from the album. Although Kowalczyk showed his usual intensity, the crowd did not receive "Pain Lies on the River Riverside" side" and an upbeat version of "The Beauty of Grey" as well as they did the new songs. "Operation Spirit" was received with more enthusiasm, though. The crowd still remembered Live 's first hit which achieved MTV buzz-clip status in 1992. Part of Kowalczyk's rebellion against "Mental Jewelry," "Opera "Operation tion Spirit" was driven by unusual fury. The lead singer put extra em emphasis phasis on the song's second verse and released repeated anguished cricsduring an extendedguitarsolo. The concert built to a peak with songs including "Shit Towne," "Iris, " and "Top. " The group reached its climax as they "sank into Eden with you, alone in the church by and by." Every voice write her first novel, The House of the Spirits, which began as a letter to her grandfather while he was on his deathbed. All of these major events, as well as dozens of per personal sonal anecdotes character sketches and reflections permeate the novel. What makes this a success is the way that the names, dates, places and facts of family history and auto autobiography biography are treated with the light touch of storytelling. Paula reads like any one of Allende's works of fiction, and when one realizes that the events and people described are actual, this only adds to the wonder and mys mystery tery of the book. Anyone who ever wondered how Allende is able to create her magical stories realizes that hersto hersto-ries ries are the most logical outgrowth of the world she inhabits. The real and the unreal are blended, and our perceptions of this dichotomy change. We, too, begin to see meta metaphysical physical spirits and forces in our own lives which are just as real as the physical world we live in. There are two stories that sur surround round the book: the history of the Allende family and the year and a half that Allende spends by her daughter's bedside captivate the reader, who reads the book breath breathlessly lessly to find cut what happens next. The book is beautifully written, 4 " 'm '?f I raised to scream the chorus of "I Alone." Following the cryptic words of the song's final verse, the crowd found harmony with an impassioned Kowalczyk and well timed strobe lights to chant with ear-shattering volume, "YEAH, YEAH, YEAH!" When Live left stage, the crowd cried for their return. Kicking off the encore, Live began with "All Over You. " Then, they proceeded to play the mellower "Lightning Crashes," calming the crowd. With the last song, "White Discussion, " Kowalczyk again brought the crowd to a frenzy. When the final note was played Kowalczyk stood silently with the triumphant look of a lead singer who knew he had put on an out outstanding standing show. He thanked the crowd for their excitement one last time before he and his band de departed parted to the sound of well-deserved thunderous applause. and the last chapter, where Allende finally is able to accept her daughter's death, and details the manner in which she prepares for Paula's spirit to leave her body, is one of the great epiphanies of litera literature. ture. Cathartic, revealing and emo emotional, tional, Allende's Paula will enter the reader's world with the gentle whisper of a friend, and leave it storm-shattered and greatly changed.

Tursi was honored for his ac accomplishments complishments during his four sea seasons sons as a striker at the University of Portland last June. Tursi described the ceremony as "very special." Tursi was a dominant force in the Pilot offense, contributing with both goals and assists. He holds nearly every University of Portland offensive record. He is still the record holder for goals per season, career goals, assists per season and career assists. He scored 66 goals and had 34 assists during his career. Tursi's freshman year was his favorite. It was the first time that the University of Portland had a varsity team. Part way through the season, the Pilots were in the midst of an eight game road trip when Tursi got his first chance to play against a number one ranked team. The national champion Univer University sity of San Franscico faced off with the rookie Pilots, who had eight starting freshman. Although they ultimately lost the game, in the first half Tursi got a chance to score the only goal of the half. Tursi said he felt like he was on top of the world when his team went to half time with a 1-0 lead over the top team in the country thanks to him. After the game, he and his teammates got to sign autographs at the high school stadium they were playing in. After their outstanding performance against the University of San Franscico, the Vikings went on to win their next 1 8 games. Tursi led the country with 28 goals.

It was an honor just to play against them," I if -V ' f f ' ' Current women's varsity soccer coach Jim Tursi was inducted into the University of Portland Hall of Fame. He was the only soccer play among the six inducted this year. Tursi explained. During his four year career, Tursi scored against three nationally ranked number one teams. He also scored goals on Indiana and UCLA. After graduating from the Uni University versity of Portland with a history degree, Tursi almost got to play in the 1980 Olympics, but missed his chance when the United States boy boycotted. cotted. Tursi played briefly with the Portland Timbers in 1981. Unfortuantely, the league the Tim Timbers bers were part of folded, leaving Tursi without a place to play pro professionally. fessionally. "I knew I wanted to coach," Tursi remembered. His first coach ing opportunity came from the men's varsity team of Parkrose High School. Tursi coached at Parkrose, for five years before moving on to coach the women's varsity at the University of Portland. He coached full time for three years and won the conference champi championship onship each year. He also coached Gresham High School for five years. During that time he also opened up his own business. He currently owns two soccer stores, with one in Portland and one in Gresham. Then, three years ago he came to Willamette, where he is now currently head coach. Willamette makes move from NCIC to NCAA by Andrew Bernhard Editor All the schools in the North Northwest west Conference of Independent College (NCIC) have begun to make the move to National Collegiate Athletic Association's division III. Assistant Athletic Director Paula Petrie has been in charge of coordinating the transfer since the process was begun by NCIC col college lege presidents. "A year from now we have to have everything in place to join the NCAA," Athletic Director Bill Trenbeath said. To join the NCAA, Willamette must do a complete self study of its own athletic programs. The pro process cess will take place this year. To comply with NCAA regula regulations tions Willamette will have to begin doing drug testing and revise its standards for athletic eligibility. By moving to the NCAA, Wil Willamette lamette will be joining other schools with similar academic atmosphere and athletic programs. Petrie helps that joining the NCAA will build Willamette ath athletic letic programs. She hopes Wil Willamette lamette will be a full-fledged-member of the NCAA by the fall of 1997. iV iili li'fli 'U' '!' ,'W' itsHIl You should write for the Collegian!

The building expansion will provide much needed space to redistribute offices, enlarge some facilities and add new ones. The expansion and improve improvement ment of the weight room was a major goal in the renovation of Sparks, Trenbcath said. In the reno renovated vated building, the weight rooms, which have been in the basement, will be moved up to the first floor and greatly expanded. The free weight area will be larger than it currently is. Also, the new weight room will have the lat latest est in cardiovascular bikes, stair machines, and treadmills. The old weight room will be become come a storage area and an expanded training room. The increased space will help trainers and also provide an opportunity for exercise science majors focusing on sports medicine to gain experience. The training area has been in insufficient sufficient for the number of athletes it helps in the past, Trenbeath added. The training room and the two new team rooms to be added on to the basement will be beneficial to athletes. Sparks will also supply coaches with much-needed office space. Many coaches are currently sharing offices, while other coaches are without office space althogelher. With remodeling, all head coaches will have their own office. The majority of construction will be done by September 15, and the weight room a little later." Trenbeath stated. Although the project was originally scheduled to be completed September 1, Trenbeath hopes that the short de delay lay will include only "minimal" in inconveniences conveniences for students and ath athletes. letes. The money for the facility's romodeling has been provided by alumni, Bill and Kay Long. The new weight room is being funded largely by a benefit concert held by Dolly Parton held at the University four years ago. Heine Fountain, a 1977 graduate, helped organize the concert. The construction effort also got an extra boost when the Autzen Foundation gave the University a $30,000 gift last May.
