Mil THE WILL, ASWU movies marred by drunkeness by Melissa Prichard Contributor Along with the rumor and confusion which reigned after ASWU movie Die Hard With A Vengeance III was ended prematurely, comes a story of drinking and disorderly conduct. The situation, which came to a head last Friday, actually started Sept. 1 with the show showing ing of the ASWU movie Pulp Fiction. Gar Willoughby, ASWU Vice President, de described scribed the atmosphere at Pulp Fiction as "high energy. Everyone (250-300 people each show showing) ing) seemed really excited. Then, people started rolling glass beer bottles down the aisles in Smith. "After the first showing was over, we had to collect over 15 40oz. beer bottles and dozens of beer cans and smaller bottles. There was at least that many bottles and cans after the second showing too." "To prevent the situation which occurred during Pulp Fiction from happening at Die Hard with A Vengeance III ( the next ASWU movie), we (ASWU) hired a security guard, had only one entrance open for students and asked that no food or drink be brought into Smith. "A warning was made at the beginning of the movie that the rolling of beer bottles would cause the movie to be terminated at once. However, a bottle was still rolled and WITS expands lab by Melissa Prichard Contributor Among the many changes that have occured on the Willamette campus, the changes to WITS (Willamette Integrated Technology Services) have also been no notable. table. Bruce Arnold, User Services Consultant, described these changes as including"the tak taking ing out of a wall in the main student computer lab and introducing 22 new computers. There are now even computers in the new writing center." Arnold hopes the com computer puter room seems "more inviting" and stu students dents "will take advantage of e-mail and the World-Wide Web." Arnold also mentioned there will be "clus "clusters ters of computers (six to eight) put in WISH and Shepherd by next month. "There are already clusters in Baxter, Doney, Lausanne and Matthews. All rooms in Baxter and all the new apartments should have modem access by Fall 1996. "This of course depends on how well re rewiring wiring goes." The only problem Arnold has come across so far is "summer mail filling the system. No matter how much space we add there is never enough space on Gemini." Lisa VanNatta, a Sophomore and one of the Lab Managers, agrees. "The changes have created only a few problems. The new ma machines chines had a few bugs to work out but the new, one room computer lab is much easier to monitor. Students are finding that the new computers are faster (more horse power), yet similar to what they are used to using." Eli Tucker, a first-year student and Lab Assistant, can't compare the new WITS to last year, but said that "the new machines are state of the art. They are great for writing papers and surfing the Net. I would encour encourage age everyone to come and try out the Internet. If they aren't ready for the Net, they should at least open an e-mail account." Speaking of e-mail, Brian Shipley, a Jun Junior, ior, suggests that the computer lab limit check checking ing e-mail to certain computers. "It is frus frustrating, trating, when the lab is full, to find people reading their e-mail when you need a com computer puter to write a paper." He also suggests "expanding the number of outside lines into the system to take pres pressure sure off the computer lab." WITS will be doubling the number of modems available this fall. Further information will be coming out in September However, Shipley adds, "I think the new computer lab is beautiful." Senior Melissa Franke concurs with Shipley. "I can really see the improvements. I like the new computers, but I just wish they had more IBMs in the main lab. "There are lots in the lab across the hall, but sometimes there is a class in there." Besides the above named improvements, there is also a multimedia workroom (Smullin 1 19B) available to the Willamette commu community. nity. This workroom is open 8a.m.-11p.m. weekdays and 10a. m.-l lp.m. weekends. It offers AV Macintoshes and AV PCs, a scan scanner, ner, VCR, laser disc player, multimedia soft software ware and many CD ROMs. WITS will be offering workshops on how to use this re resource source soon, so be looking for information posted in the lab. WITS even offers help for students who are afraid to use the computer lab or have a computer problem. This help is in the form of student Lab Assistants.

Jessica Koivisto, a first-year student and audience member at Pulp Fiction, noticed "people were yelling but I did not see anyone drinking. "If people were drinking, it might be because Pulp Fiction is just that kind of movie. People may also drink in movies be because cause it is somewhere to go (other than their rooms) to drink." Blayne Higa, a Junior and audience mem ber at Pulp Fiction, also heard people "being rowdy. The second showing of Pulp Fiction started late because of all the bottles that had to be picked up. I think the reasons behind drinking at the ASWU movies could be any anything, thing, but I wish people would show respect towards others and not disrupt the movies. These movies are functions that the whole Willamette campus should be able to enjoy. I wish people would drink responsibly and not infringe on the rights of others. Just don't drink at the movies!"

Quinn Brisben may agree with George v Bush about broccoli, but that' s about all. Brisben spoke to a group in Goudy Commons on Monday about his political views and the direction of the Socialist Party. Students, fac faculty, ulty, and political supporters from the community attended the 90 minute session. After giving his audience an overview of his life and political career, Brisben turned his focus to economic inequality. He encour encouraged aged those present to boycott com companies panies like Van Heusen, who manu manufacture facture their products using under underpaid, paid, maltreated labor. However, Brisben says that boycotting isn't enough. As a socialist, he favors "an economic democracy." This plan would eliminate capitalism entirely and allow the general popu populace lace to vote on the economic poli policies cies of the nation. By implement implementing ing a worldwide noncompetitive market, Brisben and his party be believe lieve the social inequalities of the modern world would disappear. To achieve this, Brisben says that the US needs to adopt a propor proportional tional representation like that of Germany. According to him, local attempts at proportional government have been "outmaneuvered" in the past by large corporations and cor corrupt rupt political leaders. He told his audience to "show your disgust in some way to the entire meaningless electoral system," which Brisben says gets in the way of serious poli politics. tics. Brisben went on outline some of the short term goals of the party, which he says are steps that must be taken to' reach the party's ultimate goals. He said 'bat the Socialists should work to e;her with other liberal groups a. id keep close con contact tact with fellow Socialists.

Appearing on CBS's "Face the Nation," Packwood, R-Ore., said Sunday the problem is he can't re remember member many of the instances that led to his resignation from the Sen Senate. ate. He has previously attributed the memory loss to alcoholism. "Am I sorry? Of course. If I did the things that they said I did. Am I sorry, do I apologize? Yes. But it is time to get on and not look back," he said. He was pressed to explain why he claims a faulty memory when his diary chronicles his private life for 25 years. "I have discovered there are many inaccuracies in the diary," he said. "I have discovered since this came up that a number of the things that I put in it were inaccurate, some of them simply were not true. I didn't know it at the time but they weren't true." Packwood said one of the inac inaccuracies curacies came in a diary passage about a 1 992 meeting with Sen. Phil Gramm, R-Texas. . In a March 6, 1992, taped diary entry describing a meeting with Gramm, who then chaired the GOP's Senate campaign com- " " " " m i t t e e , Packwood said the Texan prom promised ised to funnel $100,000 in party "soft" money to Packwood's campaign.

Packwood case proves old boys alive, well by Erik Holm Washington Correspondent When Senator Bob Packwood woke from a fitful sleep on Thurs Thursday, day, Sept. 7, 1995, he was sure in his own mind that he wasn't going to give up his Senate seat without a fight. At the very least, he thought, he wanted to have a few days to think about the Senate Ethics Committee's unanimous recom recommendation mendation before coming to any conclusions. Just the day before, they had suggested that he be expelled from the Senate for a battery of trans transgressions gressions that took 10,145 pages to document. But after a round of morning interviews, the beleaguered politi politician cian was called into a meeting with two of his closest Washington friends, Senators Alan Simpson and John McCain. They laid down the law: the level of resentment in the Senate had grown in the last few weeks, they said. It was time for Packwood to cut his losses and escape from the es esteemed teemed institution with his $88,922 pension intact. It took ten minutes of quiet consultation for Packwood to crumble. After dozens of damning accu accusations, sations, thousands of angry letters, and three years of near-exile from his own state, it was the loss of the support from his fellow Republican Senators that finally brought him to his knees. Within a half-hour, Packwood's staff was alerted that there would be an important meeting at 2 p.m. that day. No one doubted what announce announcement ment would be forthcoming, but when the news finally came, they were surprised at the Senator's con continued tinued tranquillity as his 27 year Senate career came crashing down around him. The speed with which the ma chinery of his resignation had been set in motion was astonishing. The dam had finally been opened, and 33 months worth of pressure came rushing out, pushing the Senator, as if on autopilot, through the final hours before the announcement. "It is my duty to resign," he announced on the floor of the Sen Senate. ate. "It is the honorable thing to do for this country, for this Senate." Many women's rights groups in Oregon and across the nation cel celebrated ebrated Packwood's resignation. Calling the decision "inevi "inevitable," table," Anita Hill said in Newsweek that the Senate had finally vindi vindi-c c a t e d Packwood's 17 accusers and "dealt with this obvious wrong." But ironi ironically, cally, people on Capitol Hill are quick to admit that it wasn't the mountain of sexual harassment charges that brought him down. Sexual harassment is accepted as a daily occurrence in the United States Congress. The members of the Senate Eth Ethics ics committee found Packwood's questionable campaign finance tac tactics, tics, blatant influence peddling and obstruction of their investigation -coupled with his exceeding arro arrogance gance - to be the most horrific of his crimes. Until a few weeks ago, most Senators were willing to let Packwood off with a public repri reprimand. mand. But when new allegations of sexual harassment involving a 17 year-old intern surfaced at the end of July, there were grumblings that perhaps it was time for the Senator to stop embarrassing himself. Still, Senate Republicans stood by their colleague, cashing out the favors they owed him by holding off Senator Barbara Boxer's de demand mand for open hearings on the charges of sexual misconduct. Then the Senators packed up and went back to their home states - all except for Packwood, who no longer has a legal residence in Or Oregon egon - only to learn from their home hometown town newspapers that Packwood had changed his mind and wanted to hold open hearings to question his accusers in public. After so many Republicans had put themselves on the line for their friend, this latest instance of waf waffling fling was too much for them to tolerate. Packwood's fall from grace came because he had stopped playing by the rules - he'd been a bad sport for too long, staying in the game for so long that even his closest friends were starting to think that they could build up the courage to vote against him. In addition, the Republican agenda for the next three months had no room for the political maneuverings of a man who was clinging to his career. The old boys network is still alive and well in the Senate. It was what protected Packwood for so long. It's the kind of club that judges a man more by his gamesmanship than his morality. Packwood's last desperate bluff in his game with the media and his accusers was no longei befitting a senior Senator and Finance com committee mittee chair. The Senate knew it, and so, eventually, did he. The old boys network is still alive and well in the Senate. , Oil k e s T Sudanese students demonstrate KHARTOUM, Sudan - Police fired tear gas and bullets Monday to disperse thousands of students demonstrating against the military government, a news agency reported. At least 10 people were wounded. It was the third straight day of trouble at Khartoum Univer University, sity, and came amid reports of a severe bread shortage. The protesters shouted slogans against Lt. Gen. Omar el el-Bashir's Bashir's government and Hassan Turabi, the Islamic leader considered the real power in Sudan, Egypt's Middle East News Agency said. Students from other universities in the capital joined the protests, burning cars and at least two banks, the agency said. Police tried to disperse the crowds with tear gas, and MENA said they later fired bullets at the protesters. Between 10 and 15 people were hurt in the clashes, which began on the campus and spilled into a nearby market, the news agency said. It did not say how many of the injured were police or civilians. Police later arrested "great numbers" of civilians and closed the main bridge linking central Khartoum with the neighboring area of Omdurman, MENA said. There was no immediate comment from the Sudanese government. The news agency said protesters chanted, "Turabi should go to jail," and "the people are hungry." Others shouted, "October, October, you should come back," referring to an October 1964 coup that overthrew longtime military leader Ibrahim Abboud. Periodic protests have broken out at Khartoum University, home to 15,000 students and the site of several uprisings that have toppled past Sudanese governments. El-Bashir came to power in a 1 989 coup that overthrew the elected government. Since 1983, the government has been battling with southern rebels in a civil war that has depleted the treasury and left 1.3 million people dead of famine and fighting. Soviet spy asks for his release TEL AVIV, Israel - An elderly Israeli scientist jailed for spying for the Soviet Union made his first public appearance Monday since his arrest 12 years ago, and asked the Supreme Court for early release. Polish-born Marcus Klingberg, serving an 18-year sen sentence tence for passing information on biological warfare to the former Soviet Union, argued through his lawyer that he was seriously ill and no longer a threat to national security. Klingberg, 77, was arrested and secretly sentenced in 1983. The case surfaced in the British media in 1987 and an Israeli news blackout was lifted only two years ago. He has suffered several strokes in recent months, and his attorney, Avigdor Feldman, told the court another one could be fatal. Gramm denies wrongdoing WASHINGTON, D.C. - Sen. Phil Gramm, who appears in Sen. Bob Packwood's diaries as a "Senator X," denied Friday that he tried to circumvent federal contribution limits and funnel extra GOP party money to Packwood's difficult 1992 re-election campaign. "Nothing wrong was done," the Republican presidential hopeful told reporters after an appearance before the Christian Coalition's annual conference. Gramm also sent a letter to the Senate ethics committee denying that there had been any impropriety. Among the 10,000-plus pages of evidence related to the Packwood investigation that were released by the committee on Thursday was a two-page section pertaining to Gramm. In a March 6, 1 992, taped diary entry describing a meeting with Gramm, who then chaired the GOP's Senate campaign committee, Packwood said the Texan promised to funnel $ 1 00,000 in party "soft" money to Packwood' s campaign. So So-called called soft money can be used only for party-building activi activities, ties, such as get-out-the-vote drives and phone banks, and cannot legally be used to assist individual candidates. The mention in the original diary disappeared in Packwood's altered version submitted after subpoenas were issued for the diaries.

Professor Anita King presented the first lecture of this special lecture-concert series this Wednesday on the Smith Auditorium stage. As an introduction to Schubert's work, Professor King is presenting three preconcert lectures. In each lecture she will explore two of the poems that inspired Schubert's music. King says not to worry if you missed the first lecture. "It's not necessary to attend each lecture,"explained King,"since dif different ferent poems will be covered in each lecture."

The song cycle con consists sists of twenty songs set to a cycle of poems by Wilhclm Miiller. Schubert read Miiller's poetry and was inspired to set the cycle to music.

The Collegian September 15, 1995 Mythology of the Mill Stream EdiWRials Packwood sign misleading Statements -and words are often interpreted ac cording to the climate of the discourse they enter. ''Liberal" once suggested an individual opposed to government intervention in the affairs of business. Needless to say, the word's meaning has changed. With recent revelations and events in the United States Senate, the name and person of "Bob Packwood" have taken on new meanings as well. Packwood, once known as the architect of the 1986 tax reform, is now regarded as the man who designed the 1986 tax reform after several pitchers of beer. A long time champion of a woman's right to a safe and legal abortion, "Packwood" has also become synony synonymous mous with unwanted sexual advances. His efforts to reduce his alimony by securing sinecures and con consultant sultant status for his ex-wife have painted Packwood as an influence peddler, and altering his diaries to conceal potentially illegal activities attaches the term "obstructing justice" to his name. Needless to say, Bob Packwood is no longer the man he used to be in the eyes of this nation. But what about in the eyes of his alma mater? Amidst last week's flurry of events surrounding Packwood's resignation, a message appeared in the main window at Beta Theta Pi: "Packwood, Once a Beta, Alw ays a Beta." The heart - enshrined "Bob" beneath the text suggests that the message's intent is a show of support for a man facing difficult times. However, campus conventional wisdom takes an another other interpretation. "Once a Beta, Always a Beta" connotes that Packwood's behavior is indicative of his membership in the fraternity, thereby suggesting that the Betas are "influence peddling," "womaniz "womanizing," ing," "drunken" "obstructers of justice." But this simply cannot be the message the Betas 'are trying to send. The campus community must be aware that "Packwood, Once a Beta, Always a Beta" is merely a show of support for a troubled brother.

In the distant past, when the tradition began, the Mill Stream defined the southern edge of cam campus pus and a birthday baptism was a venture into the unknown territory. From the Editorial Board A brief but brilliant moment of insight into this thrift store of intellectual progress called academia. Ryan Teagite Beckwith As Willamette has expanded, the Mill Stream has been mainstreamcd and the unknown has moved uptown. Mixed with the post-modern seduction of apathy, the loss of the unknown has contributed to a lack of respect for the importance ol dunking a com comrade rade on their birthday. There is no a priori signifi significance cance to this event, it means what we make it to mean. For some first year students, it denotes a sense of community, a feeling that they are now a member of the group. For others, it is an inane and immature tradition. To TIUA stu students, dents, it is just short of a national holiday, a time when the entire TIUA community comes together to take group pictures and celebrate. The residents of WISH usually add a dip in the Chicken Fountain before throwing members of the international community into the Mill Stream; a way of proclaiming their unity with the campus while retaining their unique perspective. For older students it is symbolic of completion, a confirmation of the past through a reenactmcnt of meaningful events. For me it is an elaborate micro microcosm, cosm, a brief but brilliant moment of insight into this thrift store of intellectual progress called academia. In the abduction sequence, friends and neighbors carry you from the comfort of your room to a distant place, the inside of which you have never seen. The baptism is a standard archetype of transforma transformation, tion, but there is more to this meta metaphorical phorical rebirth than a simple cel celebration ebration of regeneration. For the water ends; you hit the bottom. In mythic terms this is the f , equivalent of the moment when you realize that Willamette is not as deep as you had previously thought. What seemed so imposing and cold ends just inches past the sur surface face and that shallowness is far more frightening. Just as a child in the night is less afraid of unknown sounds than the silence which punctuates them, what's missing exerts far more in influence fluence over the participant's per perceptions ceptions than what's there.

Opinion September 15, 1995 Hie Collegian Fight the glue sniffing power As I returned to campus for this wonderful fall semester, I detected a slight odor. I recognized the smell as model airplane glue, you know, the kind that you like to sniff when things get a little drab here a Willamette. What surprised me was that the mind expanding odor was eminating from the hallowed halls where the administration lurks. Being curious, I followed my nose and was surprised to see good old uncle Stuart passed out at his desk with a giant smirk on his face. For you newcomers to Wil Willamette, lamette, Stu is thehead cheese at our grand office of student af affairs. fairs. He is responsible along with all of the other liability mongers for making our way of life here at Willamette safe and fun. For example, not allowing that demon alcohol to infest the minds of all underage students by making it difficult to host a good, obliviating party, and in instead, stead, locking us up in cattle cars and transporting us the beach. I always wondered what this man did here at Willamette: It was on this day of revelation that I finally figured it all out. Big Brother Stu's job is to draft poli policies cies that only people who have no conception of a social life, ;ir figure out. Case in point: the parking lot over at the new Uni University versity apartmentshas become the next hotbed of the glue con controversy. troversy. It is a nice lot with flowers in the bark dusted is islands. lands. But it seems that in one of his episodes of glue sniffing, Uncle Stu decided how hilarious it would be to not allow resi residents dents or any other outstanding citizen of the greater Salem com community munity to park in the lot during the hours of 3:00 a.m. to 6:00 a.m. I guess he decided that it would be a bit humorous to watch residents scurry around in the wee hoursof the morning, trying to move their cars or face the consequences One Man Riot Nate Lequieu of the tow guy and General Stout's evil parking stormtroopers. Yet after another big rip off the old glue, Stu decides that residents should not park there at all, leading to utter chaos and a slight tint of ' despair for the residents of the new apartments. Hey Glue Boy!!!!!! Wake up!!! What really convinced me that the inhaling of solvents has pervaded the halls of justice """"""",""" here at Willamette, is a revision of the alcohol policy. It seems that in one of the kaleidiscopic fits of in inhaling, haling, the administration has pulled a fast one on the innocent, social social-minded minded Willamette student. The pol icy now seems to read that in any room (dorm, fraternity, University apartment), if alcohol is being served, then the maximum number of people that are allowed in the room is triple the occupancy for that given room. For example, in a room that has two people in it, you can only have six people present while serving alcohol. This is yet another attempt by the university to keep us safe and sound as we march soberly to our classes in the morning.So my advice to you, the innocent victim of these dictated mandates, is to get a little pissed off, throw a raging, obliviating party, get wasted, and pass out in the middle of Jackson Plaza. These asi- ou do not need a just cause or another fad movement to inspire yourself to produce some chaos. nine policies are turning the Wil Willamette lamette social scene into a turbid river of binge drinking, where people drink too much, too fast, because they are worried about being "written up" by the evil ones. These policies are causing more problems than Glue Boy Stu can possibly fathom. We will not stand for a force fed social life! If you think that for one minute that you can do this you may face the wrath of the One Man Riot. For those of you who do . nOt knOW What the One Man Riot is, well, that's just the beauty of it. We all are! If something pisses you off, .just riot! You do not need a just cause or another fad """"" "mmmmmm " movement to inspire yourself to produce some chaos. Hell, if they do it, why don't we? Just get pissed off and scream at whoever or whatever tends to be pissing you off at the moment. That is just what we need in our politically correct society these days a little hon honesty. esty. We as a society lack good communication; that is why we never know what is going on. With honesty we would know just what the hell is going on, instead of basking in the false truth that is shoved down our throats. It is OK to vent anger. You will feel better and then the people that pissed you off in the first place will know not to piss you off again. Then you can just go on in life without all that candy coated crap. The One Man Riot. It's not a movement. It's not a fad. It's a cry for help in a world gone mad! Nuclear weapons won the Gulf War The school year is just getting started so some people may still be in a summer vacation kind of mind set. Taking this into consideration I thought I would be begin gin the editorial season with a whim whimsical sical and light topic: the benefits of nuclear weapons, or glad we had the bomb. This will not be a detailing of the arguments for and against America using the first atomic war warhead head against the Japanese 50 years ago to end the Second World War. That argument has been hashed over so many times, and it can be ended quickly and easily by looking at the clear and obvious facts. Both Ger Germany many and Japan were working as hard as their re resources sources permitted to try and create the bomb before the United States. When their mili military tary leaders were interviewed both sides said they would have used the nuclear tech technology nology first if they would have had the opportunity. Luckily for the rest of the world America discovered the technology first. Since that ar argument gument is clearly moot let us now turn to a more modern discussion of the benefits of nuclear weapons. This topic starts back in the 1980's when the Berlin wall came down, USSR was no longer an en enemy, emy, and peace supposedly was breaking out all over the world. Many liberal groups called for the complete dismantling of the Ameri American can nuclear arsenal. Thankfully this did not happen, and those weapons probably saved thousands of lives during the Persian Gulf War. Re Recently cently a couple of Saddam Hussein' s top advisors, who are also his son-in-laws, left Iraq for Jordan thanks to some help from the CIA. During the subsequent interviews it sur faced that during the Persian Gulf War Saddam had ordered hundreds of warheads be filled with chemi chemical cal and biological agents, and those Right on the Toftemark America needs to keep our big stick so that all we are required to do is speak softly. Lars E. Toftemark warheads to be loaded on top of missiles aimed at targets all across the Middle East region. These weap weapons ons of mass destruction are not things Saddam is afraid of using, as he showed by using them against his own citizens in order to put down an independence movement by the Kurds. When then President Bush found out about Saddam's plans he stated on international television that there would be "dire conse consequences" quences" if Iraq chose to use these weapons of mass destruc destruction. tion. Saddam's advisors reported that this threat was interpreted as meaning the United States would use nuclear weapons against Iraq. With the possibility of nuclear an annihilation nihilation hanging over Saddam's head, he thought better of his situ situation ation and did not use the chemical or biological weapons like he could have. Without Americas nuclear arsenal to back up the President's promise of retaliation it is clear that hundreds if not thousands of sol soldiers diers and innocent civilians cover covering ing the entire Middle Eastern re region gion would have been killed. So the next time you hear people calling for the immediate dismantling of the American nuclear weapons ar arsenal senal remember that deterrence works, has worked, and it will work again in the future. America needs to keep our big stick so that all we are required to do is speak softly. Salem's slow pace eases San Francisco state of mind D: riving across the California-Oregon border a few weeks ago to come back to school, I felt my blood slow down and my entire body relax, as if to let out a large sigh. I had not even made it to the booming metropolis of Salem yet, but al already ready I felt as though the world was in second gear instead of over-drive. The minute I arrived in Salem and to Willamette, I felt culture shock. I did not travel to a foreign country this summer; I did not leave the United States or even the west coast. I spent the summer in San Francisco work ing downtown in the financial district and it was awesome. However, after spending three months there I realized how fast paced San Fran Francisco cisco is and how slow Willamette is. They are two separate worlds. One being the real world and Willamette being the comfort zone that I do not want to """" leave for a while. Upon returning to the lush green grass and sparkling Mill Stream, I noticed the cour courtesy tesy of people. Almost everyone says hello or gives a head nod. Strangers even smile at each other. Upon returning to the lush green grass and sparkling Mill Stream, I noticed the courtesy of people. Almost everyone says hello or gives a head nod. Strangers even smile at each other. On the streets of San Francisco it is not uncommon that when colliding at a fast walk walking ing pace into another person all that is heard is a grunt rather than an "excuse me," unless Byrd's Eye View Gabrielle Byrd you run into one of the thousands of tourists. Even little Willamette has tourists, other otherwise wise known as prospective students and their families. It is much the " " """"" same in San Fran cisco; they come with one common goal, which is to see the city. However, what brings them there is often more than a free plane ticket from fre frequent quent flier miles. One weekend there were literally tens of thousands of tourists in San Fran- " ' cisco for three main conferences: the anniversary of the United Nations, the National Bowling Convention and a computer convention. In the city's magic, it managed to cater at the same time to bowlers, computer hackers and President Clinton. It's amazing that we at Willamette com complain plain about the lines in the bookstore or at Goudy and yet, this summer I found it per perfectly fectly normal to wait after work on a corner for a city bus for 20 minutes with 30 other people. The wait wasn't bad, even though the bus supposedly ran every three minutes, but the actual getting on the public transportation was interesting. The minute a correctly numbered bus was spotted, the mass of people would squish together so as soon as the vehicle stopped we could push our way on. Push is the key word. Being patient or polite is not how people work at a bus stop down downtown. town. You fight for your life and a few inches on the bus to stand. Sometimes a few inches was too much to ask. San Fran Francisco cisco bus drivers en enroll roll and must pass the same course clowns do to learn how to fit 20 people in a Volkswagen bug or 100 people on a bus. Bus drivers would squeeze as many people on the bus as pos possible, sible, sometimes making it impossible to make it up the hills. My short commute to and from work, 25 minutes each way, was often what I imagine a sardine in a tin on wheels On the streets of San Francisco it is not uncommon that when colliding at a fast walking pace into another person all that is heard is a grunt rather than an "excuse me." would feel like. I guess I cannot complain about my three minute commute from my dorm room to Eaton and Smullin I do now daily. Willamette may be safe and almost iso isolated lated from the real world, but I miss the chats I would have every morning with the home homeless less man that sat a few feet from the building I worked in. Any stranger or odd looking person is quickly escorted off university property by Campus Safety. It is reassuring to know that the area is fairly safe. However, Willamette is not quite as flavor- fui as San Francisco. It will just take time for me to get adjusted and back to speaking the language of Wil Wil-lr.mette. lr.mette. Funny, but I was almost convinced, by the number of times I had to correct people this summer, that I was returning to "Willametey" or "Willa-what?" where a bunch of Oregon hippies went to school. We may not be the subway-speeding city folk, but it is nice to be back lounging by the Mill Stream counting the ducks and dodging the puddles as I run to class nearly late because I got up 10 minutes ago. ( News The Collegian September 15, 1995 Fire in Matthews scares residents, chars mattress by Kirsten Olson Contributor A small fire on the second floor of Matthews Hall alerted three fire trucks and campus security on Monday afternoon. The fire began in a wastebaskct and spread to the bed and floor, burning the bed, mattress and carpet. The blaze was contained in the room, and no damage was done to any other part of the hall. The Matthews Hall resident, who wishes to remain anonymous, said that the fire was an accident. According to the student, she was plan planning ning to light incense, but decided against it after remembering campus policy which for forbids bids burning embers in dorm rooms. She blew out the match and threw it in the wastebasket, and left her room to visit with friends. When she returned seconds later, the wastebasket was flaming, and she called for help. Other residents on the floor tried to smother the fire and campus safety was called. Another resident then extinguished most of the flames with a fire extinguisher.The dorm was evacuated, and residents gathered in the parking lot as the smoldering bed was pulled from the window. The burned room will need new carpet, a new bed and a mattress. Although the resi resident dent is not happy about paying the replace replacement ment costs, she does consider herself very lucky. "No one was hurt, and the damage that occurred was minimal. I want to thank my friends for their help and support," said the resident. The 1995-1996 Guide to Residence Life reminds students that, "Burning embers (i.e. candles, incense) except cigarettes in student rooms is prohibited. . . Cooking in student rooms, bathrooms, hallways and lounges is also prohibited . . .Violating the City Fire Code includes (but is not limited to) the use of unfused andor ungrounded extensions, split splitters ters and power strips in the residences." The Matthews student, who has spent the last few days cleaning up her room after the fire, wants to remind everyone to obey the rules outlined in theGuide to Residence Life. "I have been really angry and embar embarrassed rassed because of this incident." she said. "I don't want this sort of thing to happen to anyone because it endangered my life and the lives of my friends on my floor.

Study abroad program expanded by Tania Zyryanoff Contributor With a first-year director, new plans and already 33 students study studying ing off-campus, the International Studies department is certainly go going ing places in more ways than one. This fall students are scattered in a gamut of countries throughout the world: Germany, Spain, Ecua Ecuador, dor, London and Japan. In addition, Heather Dahl, Eric Holm and Seth Smythe are study studying ing at American University, which is located in Washington, D.C. Dr. Kelly Ainsworth has re replaced placed Dr. Rick Spielman as the director of Off-Campus and Inter International national Studies. Although they are not exposed to a foreign language, students trav traveling eling to English-speaking regions benefit in many ways. Living in the nation's capital offers first-hand experience in po political litical internships and benefits people interested in economics. When abroad, students usually take all their classes in the native language of that region. Along with satisfying the second part B require requirement, ment, off-campus students take other classes for transfer credit. Ap Approximately proximately four credits are usually fulfilled by students. All of this is worked out prior to leaving. Ainsworth reflected that there is an exhaustive amount of paperwork filled out beforehand. Students going off-campus not only stay in their region of choice, but are given opportunities to travel to other areas. For instance, this fall students going to Ecuador will be swinging by the Galapagos Islands and a rain forest, while students in Japan will be touring the Kansai, an area around Kyoto. Prior students living in London have visited Bath and Shakespeare's birthplace, while other off-campus students are able to participate in a variety of excursions as well. As a new director, Ainsworth is planning to implement new changes in an effort to better the off-campus and international studies program. Presently, he is talking with stu students dents and faculty to learn about the old programs. Then he hopes to selectively add new programs. Ainsworth re revealed vealed that interest interesting ing new programs are presently being constructed and are contingent upon approval by fac faculty. ulty. He hopes study-abroad pro programs grams will be cre ated at Keele Uni University versity and Link0ping University, which are located in Stoke-on-Trent, England, and Link0ping, Sweden, respectively. The Sweden program is in con conjunction junction with an European exchange program and all classes will be of offered fered in English. Along with these new European locations, there is a tentative Australian and Southeast Asian Studies program being de designed. signed. The Australian program will emphasize environmental studies and will hopefully be located at Queensland University of Technol ogy in Brisbane, Australia. The Southeast Asian program will encompass innumerable coun countries tries Papua New Guinea, Vietnam and Indonesia. Ainsworth feels, in the course of this academic year, students will be delighted by the new changes." Surprisingly, off-campus study, in general, entails no extra tuition costs, unless a person is going to a more expensive institution, like American University. Traveling and other added expenses are not in included cluded in tuition. Ainsworth used to teach at the University of " Texas and holdsaPh.D.in Latin American Studies with fields of His History tory and An Anthropology. thropology. He encourages stu students dents to im improve prove and en enliven liven their edu education cation through travel and new experiences. He feels that in four years of college, students should spend a semester discovering and learning in a whole new environment. Any student interested in off off-campus campus studies should make an ap appointment pointment with Ainsworth either by dropping by his office, Walton 27, or by calling his administrative assistant, Kelly Booth, at x5493. Ainsworth advises students to begin their plans a year in advance. He promises that "we are literally going to open the world to them." We're literally going to open the world to (students)," -Dr. Kelly Ainsworth, Director of Off-Campus and International Studies Theater department prepares for semester by Charlotte Jones Editor The "Performance Today" sign may not be outside of Kresge theather, but that doesn't mean the theather department isn't ac active. tive. Aside from the two plays per performed formed by the department this semester Willamette's actors are busy working with guest artists and looking for new challenges. Guest directors and actors will accentuate the productionsDancwg in Lughnasa and Othello. Cynthia White, formerly of the Oregon Shakespeare Festi Festival val will direct Dancing at Lughnasa, and Stacey Bean from Chicago will perform one of the leads. According to Andrew Apter, Chair of the Theater Department, the process of choosing the plays for each semester's performance schedule involves several con considerations. siderations. More guest artists will be elisted to put on Othello. Aldo Billingslea from the Oregon Shakespeare Festival will play Othello and Robert G.Anderson from the Baltimore Shakespeare Festival will play Iago. We also haven't done many comedies in the past few years, so we're trying to do something lighter," Apter said. Both Apter and Rod Ceballos, co-Chair of the depart department ment felt it was time for the de partment to perform a Shakespeare play. "We haven't done a Shakespeare ply since I've been here," Ceballos said. In general, "We try to do things that haven't been done, that need to be done," Apter explained. We're challenged by the fact that our work is recog recognized nized as very high quality." Auditions for the entire se semester mester are finished, and the departement has shifted its fo focus cus toward the work at hand. Because Dancing in Lughnasa is set in Ireland, a lot of work has centered on perfect perfecting ing dialects. Aside from the goals con connected nected with each individual play, there is one of the department's goals which Apter takes seri seriously. ously. We help students grow as actors," he said."We've been building our group every year and its been getting better and better," Ceballos explained. The most visible aspect of the theater department may be the plays it prepares each semester but, as Apter points out, Kresge is busy most of the time. "There's always stuff go going ing on here, continually," he said. Rehersals, costume shop work and classes make it a con constant stant busy part of the Willamette community. Apter enjoys the place which the theather holds in this community.

I Featurd 8 The Collegian September 15, 1995 O v1 i n j n h yi Sometimes it seems as if there is a giant yellow "Caution, Construction Area " tape running across campus from one side to the other. Construction, renovation, and demolition liave become unavoidable words in the Willamette vocabulary. To list off recent construction and renovations projects sounds much like a catalogue list of each building on campus. A summary of the pas six months of activity includes the recently finished Admissions Office, now located in tlie WISH building, to the new University Apartment complex, renovations in Baxter, the UC and Sparks Athlete Center, the lately deported University House and the steel superstructure of the Olin Center which is taking its place. Even Salem is following Willamette 's lead, as seen by the recently remodeled Salem Center and the RAM Border Cafe and Sports Bar. However, even as the dust is settling from these projects , these are merely the first wave sweeping campus. The following articles commemorate some of the recent projects in Sparks, the UC and Olin Science Center while the Future Plans article summarizes long-range plans for construction end renovation across campus. . ,... , V t ' " N , - "' """" - - - " - i iriimnnr Students and faculty continue to endure con construction struction on the campus' only athletic building. Weight training and other exercise science courses remain displaced as the expected finish finishing ing time for the Sparks Center reconstruction has been pushed to the first week of October. "If we get it done in time, we might even have an open house on the weekend of October 13 and 14," said Athletic Director Bill Trenbeath. The renovation will include new lockers, new classrooms and five new offices, as well as more space and new equipment. Besides the students, the teachers are also very excited to get a new facility to teach in. "These are some renovations that have been needed for some time," Trenbeath said. "Actu "Actually ally we've been wanting to do this for over five years." The fact that it has taken well into the school year to complete the renovations has left both students and faculty inconvenienced at times. "We're all a bit frustrated now, but we know it will be worth it in the end," stated Jim Brik, professor of exercise science. "This new facility will open up a world of opportunity for us, as well as the students." Brik also believes that this new facility will bring up a greater striving for physical fitness and overall well-being. "When students exercise together, they are not only able to make their bodies healthy, but their mind as well." said Brik, who also believes that this new facility will bring out greater op opportunities portunities for women. "The thing to keep in mind," he states, "is that the old Sparks was built in the early 70' s. before women really took an active role in their own health and well being. This facility is being built in trying to move with the times." Of course, it took many contributors to make sure this project even got off the ground. The main grant of money for this project was given to us by Bill and Kay Long. Other contributors included the 1990 Dolly Parton Concert pro produced duced by Heine Fountain, class of '77, which paid for the brand new equipment going into the new building. Also contributing was the Autzen Foundation. ';' tV. ij .... -V 7 T'co!""r ( '' "Everything Willamette ihe lamette campus the F.W.

A variety of offices have been expanded, moved and repainted. Other renovated facilities include: a reception area for students, a stair staircase, case, and additional computers. The affected facilities have in included cluded the Chaplain's Office, Finan Financial cial Aid, Student Activities, the Bis Bistro, tro, Cat Cavern and the Mailroom. Most of the departments, with the exception of theBisiro, were com completed pleted around August 1 1th. The Chaplain's Office has per perhaps haps been altered the most. It has moved across campus, from Waller Hall to the U.C., an area described by Chaplain Charles Wallace as "natu "natural ral to student traffic." The size of the Chaplain's Office has essentially remained the same, however, the move was strategic. The primary goal of the move is to pro provide vide a "friendly place . . .where stu students dents will feel welcome," said Wallace. Having been previously located in the U.C., five years ago, Wallace describes the transition as, "a coming home for us in a way." The Mailroom is anotherexample of a facility which has been reno renovated vated to better accomodate students. Connie Ames, Mailroom Director, discussed the move of faculty boxes out of the Mailroom to produce more H L . ti ii T f i i f " S C fit f, j ' ' room for students. Ames said, "The faculty was sur surveyed veyed and asked whether or not to continue using the boxes, and they chose not to. . . (because) . . . stu students dents needed them." As a result, faculty switched over to departmental boxes. Additional physical changes of the mailroom have included the move of Ames' office into the mail area. Prior to the renovations, she points out, "physically, I wasn't even in the Mailroom." Rather, she shared an effice with Financial Aid. Also, square footage and a window was added. Most of the construction of the University Center has already been completed, and most of the facili facilities, ties, with the exception of the Bistro, are already accessible to students. According to Ames, the mailroom has only "a few minor, superficial things that need to be fixed," such as the placemenlof signs and supplies. Wallace said "the stairways are not in yet ... I don't think we have hot water. For, the most part, the building is lacking little things around the edges." Leslie Limper, Associate Head of Financial Aid concured that al although though most of the work has been finalized, "We haven't unpacked yet."

Along with the excitement of a new building came worries of the construction lowering students' quality of life. This was especially true for Lausanne (once the study-intensive dorm) residents. Luckily, this does not seem to be the case. Colin Folawn, assistant Resident Director of Lausanne, states, "There haven't been as many complaints as I was expect expecting. ing. We still have quiet hours during the evening and night and the only thing that has changed is no quiet hours during the day. I think students could have tolerated the construction even easier if the other construction projects around campus would have been completed." Brad Millay, a third-year resident of Lausanne, agrees with Folawn and says he "has not really noticed a difference in Lausanne." Then again, he lives on the "far side of the dorm (away from the construction) and not really concerned with the noise." Hardin mentioned a concern about the construction but says, "We have been working with the contractors to keep down the noise and dust. We got most of the loud work done this summer." With the hassles of construction aside, the F.W. Olin Science Center will open its doors to students next year and offer a full array of new opportunities for research and scientific exploration. Hope Hopefully, fully, all will agree that the new center was well worth the inconvenience. Ptoas J t r " J V,' Expansion and renovation are taking a place in most students' lexicons as hard hats, yellow caution tape, heavy machinery and mountains of dirt have become common sights around Willamette. This prob probably ably won't end anytime soon, since new projects, including remodeling Collins Science Center and constructing a new quad between the Baxter and Matthews residence halls are planned for next sum summer, mer, with several long-term projects also on the horizon. The decision to remodel Collins Science Center was based on the fact that the building is simply getting crowded, according to Brian Hardin, Vice President of Financial Affairs. Upon completion of the project, biology and chemistry classes will move to Olin. Math and computer science classes will move from Smullin to Collins. According to Jim Levenick, professor of com computer puter science, the major benefit will be increased space for computer labs for Computer Science stu students, dents, which will be in the immediate vicinity of the offices of their professors. One drawback of the current space in Smullin is that Computer Science students have to do much of their homework in the same labs where they work as lab assistants. These students are often harangued and asked for advice when they are trying to do their computer homework. Another advantage is that Computer Science will be closer to the other physical sciences and the depart departments ments that computer science students naturally work with. Thai Verzone, a Senior and BiologyPre-Med major, says he likes the "ida of having computer science and math together with the other sciences." However, Levenick maintains that he's "not ec ecstatic" static" about the move. "That building is really ugly, it's all concrete" on third floor. We won't see our colleagues in Smullin . . . It'll be different." Plans to remodel the first floor of Baxter and landscape the area between Baxter and Matthews are also imminent. The lounge, kitchen and dining room areas will be renovated, with the possible addition of new student rooms, bathrooms and a student kitchen. In addition, the area between Baxter and Matthews will be landscaped in order to connect the two com complexes, plexes, and a basketball andor volleyball court will be added to the area. A new entrance on the south side of Baxter will be constructed, so that the primary entrance to Baxter will face this new quad area, further linking Baxter, Belknap and Matthews into one unit. According to Laura Rubenstein, Resident Director for Baxter, Belknap and Matthews, this renovation will strengthen community between the three halls on the East side of campus. "I'd be really excited. (The renovation would) make Baxter a part of the BelknapMatthcws commu community. nity. People would have space to socialize and there would be great programming space which would lead to community building," said Rubenstein. As departments and student nerds expand, finding a place to expand into is a challenge. Willamette is essentially landlocked in downtown Salem, with little room to build new buildings while still leaving open, green areas, which is the impetus for many of the current projects. Short-term projects such as the sites already in progress or recently completed are familiar to most students. Some of the long-range renovations suggested in include clude razcing York and Lee House, which are ineffi inefficient cient uses of space in order to build an academic building. Gatke Hall is also slated for renovation: initially to expand the education department, though it may eventually house Willamette's archives and art collection. Text by said Levenick.

"It is something that Willamette University could get better at." Offering di diversity, versity, whether it be ethnically, geographi geographically, cally, socially or otherwise, is sometimes challenging for the admissions staff. Many different recruiting techniques have been employed in an attempt to enhance the diversity of the student body. Techniques include direct mail, travel, early outreach programs and talent searches. Each year, counselors travel throughout the west, midwest and east in search of stu dents. They speak with counselors and stu students, dents, holding luncheons and attending col college lege fairs. In previous years, five other col colleges leges have joined with Willamette on a re recruitment cruitment expedition to Atlanta, Georgia. Sumner believes that one of the most impor important tant goals in recruitment is getting Willamette's name and great reputation to be recognized by high school counselors. This goal proved to be effective in the case of Dave Osborn, a freshman from Seattle who attended prep school in Massachusetts. Osborn had a counselor who knew of Wil Willamette lamette and recommended it because it was a strong liberal arts school. Osborn also learned of W.U.'s great reputation through his coun counselor. selor. Early outreach programs are aimed at reaching students from low-income families who are in junior high or underclassmen in high school. Although recruitment is an ob objective jective of these programs, community ser service vice is the primary concern. According to Sumner, "Early outreach programs show these kids the educational opportunities that are available to them." Another sort of outreach program includes the Oregon Governor's School. Each sum summer, mer, high school students spend three and a half weeks at Willamette learning about gov government ernment and leadership. Admission counse counselors lors work with these students in order to promote the university as well as higher edu education cation in general. Talent searches also offer hope for diver diversity. sity. Accompanied by nearly forty of the top colleges and universities in the country, Wil Willamette lamette is part of the National Hispanic Fo Forum. rum. This organization recognizes talented Hispanic students, some of whom attend Wil Willamette. lamette. The Admissions office works closely with community colleges, such as Chemeketa and Linn-Benton, in order to gain non-traditional students. Because non-traditional students sometimes have children, jobs andor homes, they are often less mobile. Therefore, it is difficult to recruit non-traditonal students who are not from the Salem area. "Willamette admissions act affirma affirmatively," tively," says Sumner, when speaking of eth ethnic nic issues. He ii -ists there are neither institu tional nor governmental quotas to fill, but a reasonable goal would be to match national percentages. Matthew Johnson, a Native American from Pendleton, says he "couldn't help but notice the lack of diversity. When you look around, you can see it." Although the diver diversity sity is absent, Johnson says that he hasn't had any problem fitting in. He has found every everyone one on campus to be very friendly. "Friendly" is also a key word for Kahreen Tabeau, an African-American from Salem. "It is only my second week here, but people seem very friendly." She finds that Wil Willamette lamette has a beautiful campus and offered her a great financial aid package. She has had no problem fitting in and says "race doesn't make a difference socially." Kahreen plans to stay at Willamette for the rest of her under undergraduate graduate education. Although the student body of Willamette University lacks diversity, it seems to appre appreciate ciate what little it has. Perhaps in the future, diversity will be more visible and widely accepted. After all, "not alone unto ourselves alone are we born." Homesickness represents a normal transition from home by Sarah Zollner Contributor Making the transition from liv living ing at home under the dictatorial rule of your parents to living on a college campus under the dictato dictatorial rial rule of your Resident Assistant can be a traumatic experience. For most first year students, college presents both opportunities and obligations to have personal freedom, to make personal deci decisions sions and to do personal laundry. Homesickness is a natural part of the transition for many students, and according to Deb Loers, Direc Director tor of the Counseling Center, should not be seen as negative. "I think that homesickness is maybe misunder stood sometimes as being a bad thing. . . or people are embarrassed about it. I really see homesickness as a part of making the transition." Leers said that homesickness can even indicate that there are posi positive tive and important relationships in a student's life: "I don't think people get over (homesickness) 100 per percent. cent.

There is no practical approach to teaching in France so Farella also wants to understand the "hands on" approach to teaching before she plans for her future goals. "I was amused by the squir squirrels rels everywhere. . . (they were) almost tame" comments Farella on her first impression of WU. She commented that it was much more quiet here than in Paris. She was quite surprised by how much students knew of French news, and how students were really open-minded here. The people on campus were very friendly and provided a welcom welcoming ing atmosphere on her first days here. parents and family, I don't know why we would want to get over it. Homesickness means you have some significant relationships." However, sometimes feelings of missing home or problems with adjusting to college can become more serious. If a student feels inca incapacitated pacitated or unable to do things she normally would do as a student, homesickness may be progressing into depression. For example, shyness and lone loneliness liness both contribute to homesick homesickness, ness, and can cause more long term social struggles. For many first year students, makirrg friends and finding a niche can be a painful experience. "You stand outside the circle and wonder why you feel left out, unaware that you need your OWN permission to join the others not theirs," states Rusty Berkus from Appearances. Shyness is considered a social disease which millions suffer from. Unfortunately, there is no miracle cure, and to overcome shyness and insecurity can take a long time. To help speed the process, join a club or campus organization in order to meet others with common interests. Consciously attempt to be friendly and to start conversations. "If your degree of shyness prevents you from making friends and you feel isolated from virtually every everyone one else," perhaps it is time to con consider sider seeking professional help (The College Student's Health Guide). "It is no new thing to be lonely. It comes to all of us sooner or later ... if we face it, if we remember that there are a million others like us, if we try to reach out to comfort them and not ourselves, we find in the end we are lonely no longer. We are in a new family, the family of man . . ." writes Morris L. West, The Devil's Advocate. NON SEQUITIR BY VllK -U- - Tips for dealing with homesickness Deb Loers, Director of the Counseling Center offers the following suggestions for stu students dents who are dealing with homesickness: Continue relationships with family and friends, but find .ways to adjust those relation relationships ships and make them compat compatible ible to college life.

In other words, the songs s Suspects unusual mix The Usual Suspects seems like a basic enough premise; five thieves are gathered for a New York police line up in which one by one they utter the phrase "Hand me the keys, you fucking cocksucker." All of them are released on insufficient evidence, but not before they have time to cohort in the police holding pen, and form an uneasy alliance. The group includes cop-turned-thief Keaton (Gabriel Byrne), a gimped con artist called Verbal (Kevin Spacey), a wisecracker Hockney (Kevin Pollack), and two criminals who don't seem to be playing with a full deck of cards: McManus and Fester, (Stephen Baldwin) and (Benico del Toro). Director Bryan Singer spins a tale of cool characters and intricate plot twists even the most intelligent would have trouble deciphering. The action moves six weeks ahead where the plot unfolds from the perspective of Verbal, who gives a prolonged interview to special customs agent Kujan (Chazz Palmatieri), who in turn is trying to figure out how a dock in San Pedro, California is littered with bodies from a monstrous explosion. Things seemed to have gone awry as Keaton and his crew were supposed to lift $91 million in co cocaine caine from a ship in the harbor, and all but Verbal appear to be found dead. This incredibly complex plot is revealed in a series of flashbacks in the six weeks before the explosion on the pier. The story takes the criminals thrpugh a jewel robbery, the expo exposure sure of corrupt cops in New York and the events which lead these five criminals to the pier in California. A shadowy character called Kyser Soze seems to be the only link between these five criminals, and the biggest mystery to every everyone one involved, including the police.

Byrne stabilizes the film's twists and turns and gives the audience a central character to focus on during the film. Byrne's performance allows Pollack and Del Toro room for a little humor which seems to liven up the film's dark environment. Spacey and Palmatieri (Bullets Over Broadway) also give engaging per performances formances and some of the best dialogue of the film. I am still wondering the correct way to pronounce Kyser Soze; Palmatieri gives three different pro pronunciations nunciations throughout the film.

The only negative aspect of this concert was probably the clientele. Not only were my fellow concert goers incredibly young, they were also in many cases overly negative and the perpetrators of bad vibes. Before the show they were all talk talking ing about their most recent exploits. These exploits ranged from the graphically sexual to "the last time I was at a show I just fucked up this guy in the pit real bad. You know, I mean I got beat up pretty bad too, but I didn't even feel it 'cuz I had just taken a bunch of hits of acid." After hearing such enlightened viewpoints, I was sure that I was in for a long evening, but fortunately the theater was so small and every everyone one was so close together that there wasn't enough room for any of the hooliganism that often pervades such shows. Ultimately, it was a great show and I continue to be a great fan of The Daddies, especially live, and I can't wait until they invade Willa Willamette mette University for a concert on September 30th. Known for his abundance of written notes, Warhol's pack-rat habits are utilized by Lebanese artist Etel Adnan in her book which contains a mixture of po poetry etry and paintings. Using words and colors to create an aesthetic form, Adnan binds her thoughts into a per personal sonal keepsake, similar to the thousands of bound notes accu accumulated mulated by Warhol Another Lebanese artrist combining Warhol's technique with her own is Ginane Makki Bacho. In her three-piece work en entitled titled "The Image of the World . . . The Image of the Picture," Bacho reproduces her diary in a volume with illustrated hand hand-colored colored prints. In her two other lithographs, random notes are interspersed between scenes from New York, Warhol's own city of residency, In New York, Warhol acquired a warehouse which he used for his studio. Its unfin unfinished ished ceilings revealed the inner workings of the building, much like the ceilings of the Hallie Brown-Ford Gallery expose the sprinkler heads of the fire alarm, and the hoses of the air condi conditioning tioning system. This unusual likeness aids in the unintended appearance of Warhol's themes and techniques within the works of the Arab women artists, on display until the 13th of October in Willamette's own gallery. add to the mixture: 1 T baking powder 2 14 cups flour 14 t salt 14 t baking soda 0Voices What do you think about Senator Bob Packwood's resignation? 11 "I think it's a good thine.

Even though this was the club's first official meeting of the new school year, students have been participating in trips since August. In August, 24 individuals (17 first-year students and seven expe experienced rienced leaders) traveled to the Three Sisters area and participated in the first ever ISAT (Incoming Student Adventure Trips) program. Ethan Long, a Sophomore and Vice President of the Outdoors Club, stated "this program was developed to introduce incoming students to the beauty of the Oregon wilder wilderness ness and to relax before school started. The trip was so successful this year, we hope to increase the number of ISAT trips to five next year." Sally Deck, a first-year student and ISAT participant, agreed with Long and said, "The trip was a ter terrific rific bonding experience. It was nice to see people you already knew during Opening Days." Besides the new lAl pro program, gram, members of the Outdoors Club led a 40 mile backpack backpacking ing trip around Mt. Hood (Tim (Tim-berline berline Trail) over Labor Day weekend. Dur During ing this same weekend, there was a caving and Hot Springs trip. Jean Lee, one of the caving trip leaders, remarked "The trip was a great experience. Everyone got along and it was a chance to do some exploring at your own pace." I think that the Outdoors Club has the potential to offer a wide variety of trips which appeal to many different interests." Vice President Besides the trips into the wil wilderness, derness, the Outdoors Club certi certified fied 44 people to use the climbing wall last Saturday. The climbing wall is located in the Sparks Gym Gymnasium nasium and is student managed. Long, also one of the Climbing Wall Managers, said he hopes "to raise 200 or more dollars to im improve prove the wall. "With the in increased creased interest in rock climbing, we would like to improve the wall by repainting it, adding more holds and buying mats to be placed -Ethan Long, Outdoors Club below the wall. We will try to raise this money by holding a bakesal'e (Sept. 18-22) and by creating an Adopt-a-Hold program." People were able to test out their newly acquired rock-climbing cer certification tification the following day when the Outdoors Club took a climbing trip to Portland. Also, last Sunday a trip to Opal Creek was offered. Upcoming op opportunities portunities for outdoor adventures include a rock climbing trip to Smith Rocks Sept. 15-17, a 40 mile bike trip on Sept. 16 (informal mountain biking trips offered weekly), two separate day hikes to the Columbia Gorge on Sept. 1 7, and a restoration project at Opal Creek on Sept. 17. There will be a caving trip to South Bend on Sept. 29-30, a back packing trip (miles per day is up to the individual) from Sept. 29 to Oct.l, a midnight hike up South Sister (12 miles total) Oct.6-7, a hiking trip in Northern California over Thanksgiving break, and win winter ter camping (snowshoeing and cross-country skiing) coming soon. Also, new this year is a scuba program. Anyone who is certified in scuba can join a dive once or twice a month. To be a member, one only needs to pay ten dollars a year or six dollars a semester (contact Erin Bard, H-145). However, one needs this membership to go on any trip or rent equipment from the club closet (contact Ward Miller, x6693 to rent, equipment).

The event was a double-elimination tournament, so each team had to lose twice to be entirely out of the competition.

Originally planned to be a low-key opener for three area teams, six teams and 125 athletes partici participated, pated, including three of four con conference ference powerhouses. On the men's side, the Bearcats proved to be the strongest of these three talent-laden teams. Biding their time on a hot and slow 4.0 mile course, Willamette runners outlasted aggressive George Fox athletes for a narrow five-point vic victory, tory, 40-45. "I was concerned early in the race," said head Cross-Country Coach Ken James. "It looked like we were going to get blasted by George Fox. But we ran the second half of the race exceptionally well, and given the youth of our team, that is a remarkable accomplishment." Saying that the team is a young one is understating the case.

As a result, half of the money generated from the tour tournament nament and t-shirt sales will be used to buy books, which will be donated Peterson (21:23) led the charge for Willamette, coming in third out of a field of 61 runners. Freshman Chris Lyke (5th, 21:38.7) freshman Chris Olson (10th, 21:50.5), freshman Bret Jensen (11th, 21:52.3), and sophomore Bryce Mercer ( 1 5th, 22:08.6) rounded out the scoring for the Bearcats in close fashion. "Keeping a close gap between the first runner and the fifth runner is going to be key for our continued success," said freshman Clay Binford. "Conference is so close this year, it is really up to each scoring runner to win the meets for us, rather than depending on the outstanding efforts of the first few racers." Finishing in a tighter pack was something that the women were unable to do, and the women fin finished ished third on the 4000 meter course. However closing in on George Fox and Linfield, teams which beat Willamette last week, will prove nearly insurmountable. "It is so frustrating to be in our situation this year," said James. "We have the most talented women's team I've ever coached but we are competing against three of best women's teams in the nation just within our conference."

"I have a friend that volunteers out at the correctional institution who told me of their need for books," said Pi Phi Amy VanDusen, a Jun Junior. ior. VanDuscn explained that the half of the money generated from the tournament that is designated for the Oregon State Correctional Institutions' (OSCI) libraries will be used to buy certain textbooks that are really needed, at a cost of $40 each. "There are 1 1 institutions and each needs two of these books, so we are really hoping to provide those, " commented VanDusen. Other books are still needed, and Pi Beta Phi is hoping to collect more fiction, non-fiction, poetry, and Spanish books, especially those written at a 6th-8th grade level. Vandusen has been in contact with Dave Marsters, Assistant for Edu Educational cational Services for OSCI, who is a Willamette alumnus and reported that he is "really excited." Any donations are welcome, in care of Amy VanDusen at Pi Beta Phi. Sophomore Inga Tomlinson, Pi Beta Phi's Philanthropy Chair, felt that the tournament was highly suc successful. cessful. "The way that I measure that it's a success is the variety of people that participated, the amount of people that participated, and the amount of fun everyone had. Plus, of course, that we ended up making a lot of profit because everyone knew it was for charity.

"The alumni game is supposed to be a chance for me to get a look at freshman," coach Jim Tursi said of the 60 minute contest. Tursi got a chance to see more freshman than usual play because only three alumni managed to make it to the game. 1994 graduate Shiela Lester, 1993 graduate Allison Spens and 1992 graduate Tiffany Andrews played for the alumni. All three alurn were Ail-Americans. Al Although though the number of alums was low Tursi said he was not too disap disappointed pointed because all that did come were "quality alums." Some of the players were disap disappointed pointed with the turnout, though. "What al umni game?" was all Jamie Barton could ask, "it was just a scrim scrimmage, mage, e en though all the players that came back were outstanding." The game itself got off to a quick start with the first goal scored by the Varsity team just four min minutes utes into the first half. The game was fast paced and each side played agressively. Midway through the first period, freshman Lisa Newkirk went down during a slide tackle and had to leave the game after getting up slowly. Despite penetrating deep into opponent territory, the Varsity team had trouble putting any more goals on the scoreboard. "We played poorly in the first half, but I was happy because we corrected it by the half," Tursi said. Sophomore Jackie Liebler score the only second half goal and the varsity team claimed victory over the alum, 2-0. "I didn't feel we played very well. I know they're a young team, but when they get it all together, they'll be really good," said a dis disappointed appointed Allison Spens. The Varsity squad tried to "pull it all together" Sunday against Cen Central tral Washington. The Bearcats got off to a rocky start, from which they never completely recovered. Less than four minutes into the half, Cen Central tral Washington put a beautifully placed shot into the upper-corner of the Bearcat goal. Central Washington pounded Willamette early, firing shot after shot without any retaliation. De Despite spite some outstanding blocks by Robin Heard, twenty minutes into the half, the Bearcats found them- I', i " r ! . .1 , n tArn - The Bearcats nearly overcame a rough start last Sunday in their game against Central Washington, but fell just short, losing 2-1. selves down 2-0. The Bearcats seemed over overwhelmed whelmed by the Central Washing Washington ton attack early. "They were a very aggressive team," Liebler said of her opponents. Willamette managed to add a lone goal in the waning moments of the first half. It was the final goal of the game. In the second half, Willamette seemed to come together. They slowed down the Central Washing Washington ton assault, holding them scoreless, and earning two yellow cards in the process. The Willamette offense had many chances to tie the game, but repeatedly failed to finish. With under two minutes left, Willamette opened up a fast break. The ball was past the Central Wash Washington ington gaolie, but off to the left. Chasing the ball down, Liebler was tripped in the goal box as the goalie dove after the ball which rolled out . of bounds. The Willamette crowd erupted at the official's non-call. "She (Central Washington goalie) slid into me," Liebler said of the play. "All I was thinking about was putting the ball in the net. That's the goalie's job, to stop me, and I guess she did." Volleyball team already sets season expectations high After a great start, the Volleyball team is after a conference championship. by Matt Kosderka . Staff Writer There is no doubt that the Willamette women's volleyball team knows where they want go. When December rolls around, they hope to be playing for the national championship in San Diego, Cali California. fornia. In order to make the trip south, the Bearcats must first take a detour north to take on Whitworth and Whitman this week weekend. end. Tonight's match against Whitworth will open the Northwest Conference sea season son as well as their defense of last year's conference title. Willamette will then travel to Whitman for a Northwest Conference match tomorrow afternoon. Head Coach Marlene Piper said that both teams will test her squad, but with Whitman adding some talented freshmen and Whitworth breaking in a new coach, she felt that Whitman should be the tougher challenge of the two teams. How the Bearcats fare on their Wash Washington ington road trip will be a good indication of how the team will do this season. Whitworth and Whitman have been picked to finish in the middle of the conference, while the Bearcats are the favorite to re reclaim claim the conference crown. As for the rest of the conference. Piper feels that a couple of teams will contend with the Bearcats. "I think it will be a dog fight," she said. She pointed to Pacific Lutheran as the major contender, while the conference's newest member, George Fox, has reloaded and will be a force to be rec koned with. Surprisingly enough, the Bearcats toughest opponent will come from outside the conference, in Western Oregon. West Western, ern, who lost in the national championship game last season, is once again ranked in the top 10 national poll. Willamette got a close up view of WOSC this past week in a scrimmage in Monmouth. What the Bearcats saw was WOSC defeating them in all four games. Although Willamette couldn't break through against WOSC, they are not quite ready to throw in the towel. Instead, they will learn from their mistakes and try to use the experience throughout the season. "It was a wake-up call," said Piper of the scrimmage. Piper herself, felt that the scrimmage was beneficial for both her and her team. "Wedid a number of different things," she said. "Everyone got to play, including all seven freshmen." The scrimmage also gave Willamette a chance to work on their new multi multidimensional dimensional attack. Piper hopes that the new scheme will take some of the pressure off of outside hitters senior Brandi Row and junior Alicia Wright. Overall, Piper feels that the team's major difference from last year's squad, is experience. Although seven freshmen dot the roster, there are seven returning play players ers who have seen significant play ing time. If the Bearcats are to make the trip south to San Diego, they must use their experience and have some key contribu contributions tions from the freshmen team members. Despite Willamette's poor perfor performance mance against WOSC, Piper and her team fell that they have what it takes to contend for a national tournament spot. No one has made reservations yet, but December is still a few months away. There is still plenty of time for the Bearcats to plan their trip. NBA lockout blocks season start by Wendy E Lane Associated Press A federal judge said Friday he would await results of a decertification vote before deciding whether to lift the NBA's 70-day lockout. During a 2 12-hour hearing in Minne Minneapolis, apolis, U.S. District Judge David Doty heard arguments on the antitrust suit against the NBA filed by Patrick Ewing, Michael Jordan and 14 other players, said Jeffrey Mishkin, the league's senior vice president for legal and business affairs. The players were seeking a preliminary injunction ending the lockout, but the Na National tional Labor Relations Board argued that the court should delay action on the matter. The labor board wants to finish oversee overseeing ing the decertification election and determine whether the NBA players' association can continue to represent players in collective bargaining. Results of the election are to be announced Tuesday. "The question of whether a majority of the NBA players wish to continue to be rep represented resented by the union for purposes of collec collective tive bargaining with the league should be determined by this agency and not by a court," NLRB chairman William B. Gould IV said. "Deciding representation issues like this is a job the board has been doing for 60 years." Doty, the judge who presided over an antitrust case against the NFL that led to a labor deal with increased free agency and a salary cap, gave no indication how he eventu eventually ally would rule on the players' motion for a preliminary injunction, nor did he indicate whether he would grant the NBA's motion to transfer the case to federal court in New York. The NBA has gotten several favorable rulings there in previous labor litigation. In order for the suit to go forward, the union must be disbanded. Even after the votes are counted Tuesday, legal challenges to the vote's outcome could delay final certi certification fication of the results by the NLRB. Jeffrey Kessler, the lawyer representing the players, said Doty indicated he wouldn't wait indefinitely for the NLRB to certify the results. "We urged him to make a decision prior to Oct. 6, when training camps start," Kessler said. "He understands that deadline.'7 The NLRB said it would try to handle the decertification matter as quickly as possible. But two unfair labor practice complaints are pending one filed by the NBA against a group of agents and another filed by Sacramento's Mitch Richmond against the league and other objections could follow when the election outcome is announced. "The first week in October may be a little optimistic,' ' said Dan Silverman, the NLRB ' s regional director in New York. "Depending on the nature of the objections, it could be more time or less time." An estimated 300 players voted on Aug. 30 and Thursday on whether to disband the union. A "yes" vote was considered a vote for a proposed labor deal. Meanwhile, the antitrust suit lost one of its plaintiffs. Veteran Washington guard Scott Skiles sent a letter to Kessler dated Thursday asking to be removed as a plaintiff. Kessler said he was unaware of Skiles' move. "I do this for my own reasons, which I could never explain in letter form," Skiles said in the letter. "I respect your efforts in this matter but have grown uncomfortable with certain practices which have accompanied my involvement. I hope that my actions today do nothing to damage your efforts, and that is why I waited until the completion of the voting earlier today." Skiles' agent, Keith Glass, also resigned from the union's agents advisory board, the 14-member group of agents that has spear spearheaded headed the decertification effort, saying he was fed up with the tactics employed by the union, the NBA and his fellow agents. "I was very uneasy about both sides," said Glass, who represents 1 3 current NBA players. Glass said he and Skiles waited until after the decertification voting so neither the union nor the group backing decertification could use their decisions to try to win players' votes. A r oorti 15 September 15, 1995 Tlie Collegian Football team proves superior to alumni by Jennifer Miller Contributor It wasn't your average Western Oregon State College alumni game. Willamette's varsity team showed the alumni that there are some things that don't improve with age in a sound 20-12 victory Saturday at McCollough Stadium. The alumni, with the help of David Shirle's running started off strong, earning decent yardage and working together. It didn't mat matter. ter. The varsity were intent on making the first touchdown. With 5:35 left in the first quarter sopho sophomore more running back Rich Rideout converted on a crucial third and one to earn the Bearcats a first down. Junior running back Matt Traeger kept the drive alive, carrying the ball to the 24 yard line. Junior wide receiver Dawson Williams capped the drive on a 9 yard run into the end zone with 3:31 left in the quarter. The PAT was wide right, leaving the varsity with a 6 6-0 0 lead. The alumni rallied in the second quarter, with Darren Halse leading on a ten-yard run to tie the game. With about four and a half minutes left, sophomore quarterback Geoff Buffum threw to junior wide receiver Forrest Williams for a touchdown which was ne gated due to a holding penalty. On the next play, alumni defensive lineman Henry Crawford sacked Buffum for an 1 8-yard loss, stifling the drive. With 2:49 left in the half the alumni pulled their notorious halfback-pass play. The ball was passed to one player on the right of the field to then be passed again to alumni Alan Heinley. The 51 yard play gave the alumni the lead. The alumni tried for a 2 2-point point conversion to secure their position of power, but failed. "They ran it two years ago and scored a touchdown on it. They are killing us with that play," third year Head Football Coach Dan Hawkins said. Forrest Williams scored a 60 yard touch down with 29 seconds left to tie the game. Sophomore Gordon Thompson's PAT gave the varsity the lead again. During half time the Bearcat's regrouped. "I want to see a little pop, a little pizzazz, I want to see people making plays," Hawkins advised the team during their half time locker room chat. During the second half of the game, the varsity played a stronger offensive and de defensive fensive game. The strong alumni team, which had several Ail-Americans, including Head Baseball Coach David Wong and one alumni who played professional football for two years with the 49ers, offered a good-sized chal challenge lenge for the Bearcats to get serious about plays and follow through. The thing that held the Bearcats back and also pushed them forward was the experience of playing as a team in a game setting, first year Head Offensive Coordinator Mark Speckman said. "I think part of our problem has been that that was our first live football game, and it took us a while to get used to the speed and tempo," he said. "I think we got better as it went on." Dawson Williams got the ball to the alumni 47-yard line, which made it possible for sophomore running back Danny Osborne to complete the drive with 7:10 left. With Thompson's field goal, it gave the varsity a comfortable 20-12 lead. With 1:19 left, the alums made a strong effort, getting the ball up to the five-yard line only to have an incomplete pass by James Scarriot on another halfback pass attempt, and the game was over. Originally, the alumni team was going to play Central Washington plays in order to better prepare the varsity for their upcoming game this weekend. "They were going to, but then they didn't offensively," said Hawkins. "Offensively, Central Washington is a one back team, and the alumni did mostly two back stuff." Offensive players came away feeling more secure. "I think our offense is really starting to come together," said Dawson Williams. "Overall we rocked the house and will con continue tinue to do so throughout the season," he said. It now comes down to fine tuning for the team to keep the wins rolling in. "We just have to work out the little things," said Rideout. "We have the basic scheme down." This weekend the team faces Central Washington at 7 p.m. in a tough season opener away in Kennewick, Washington. Central has already played a game this season on top of their experience, and poses a threat for Willamette's team, which is using the post-season as a goal for the team. "We're playing a very experienced team," Speckman said. "They've already played a game this season." The game against Central is on astroturf, an unfamiliar ground for the Bearcats to walk on. The Bearcats took a fieldtrip down to Oregon State University Thursday night to practice on the surface in preparation for the game. "Our goal going into the game is to slow them down defensively and offensively, not turn the ball over," Speckman said. Seattle proves too tough for men's soccer by Jennifer Miller Contributor The men's soccer team started off their season on the right foot Saturday with a 2-1 win in their annual alumni game. Then they twisted their ankle. - - Relying on the performances of returning forward junior Matt Janssen and freshman midfielder Mark Flanders for their two goals in the alumni game was not the same strategy the Bearcats could depend on in their first home game. Playing Seattle University Wednesday, the mens team broke down offensively towards the end 0 of the game. After being forced on the defensive, the Bearcats fought a hard battle, but came up short in the 4-1 loss. Returning starter, forward Matt Janssen started the ball rolling, re receiving ceiving a red card for catching an- other player in his cleats less than ten minutes into the first half. "I think it (Janssen 's red card) affected us a lot in the end because being a man down takes a lot of energy," midfielder Luis Baez said. "We played with a lot of heart and that helped us through the first 80 minutes." Assisant Coach Brad Victor said not having Janssen hurt the team but that the Bearcats still controlled the ball better than Seattle did. Kirk Swanson gave Seattle a 1 1-0 0 lead by scoring the first goal with just over 19 minutes left in the first half. The goal was made just min minutes utes after a successful save by Willamette's freshman goalie Jim Meurer. ft Seattle kept making drives for the goal, several of which were de deflected flected by Willamette's goalie and one of which hit a spectator's ankle. The spectator had been sitting on the brick wall behind the goal, and was hit when the ball missed the goal by several feet. Returning starters Nino Benedetti and Andy Frazier. along with the help of Baez, tried to hold things together for the team, play playing ing an aggressive game despite the quickness of theiropponents.Fresh- 0. "u The men's soccer team defeated the alumni team 2-1, but stumbled against Seattle University, losing 4-1. man Stan Thesenvitz from Seattle gave the team trouble, consistently keeping control. Seattle scored a second goal just after the second half got underway. Baez had the crowd cheering with a beautiful goal to the left upper-V of the goal with 23:36 left in the half. Sophomore midfielder Tim Martin was hit by Seattle's goal keeper trying to score a second goal for Willamette off of a Benedetti pass. Seattle scored again with 12 minutes left in the second half, and sealed Willamette's fate. Baez walked off of the field after getting knocked over by a Seattle player and hurting his shin. "With one extra guy they could create a lot more scoring opportuni opportunities ties than we could. We still created some opportunities, but not as many," Baez said. Without the usual help of Janssen to strengthen the Bearcat's offensive game, the team was forced to play a defensive one, which put them ex exactly actly where they didn't want to be. However it was not an entirely bad experience in the eyes of the players. "Although the final score wasn't what it should have been, it was an important game for us," Frazier said. "It showed us a lot of our strengths and weaknesses." The coaching staff has similar feelings of the loss. "For the circumstances we were under we did well. Two of the goals were deflections off of our own players and one of the goals was just a mistake by one of our play players," ers," said Victor. "We had the opportunitites to score and we just didn't get it. We were generally happy with the way we played; not with the outcome, but with the way we played." The Bearcats hope to recover from the early loss with a strong game against Division I power house Oregon State University Wednes Wednesday day at 4 p.m. in Corvallis. The team has been playing hard this year, according to Frazier. Willamette knew what they were doing when they scheduled the game against OSU. The team with the worst record in baseball lashes back by Jim Cour Associated Press The team with the worst record in baseball is lashing back at detractors by playing spoiler in the season's final three weeks. The Seattle Mariners, trying to win the AL wild-card berth, found that out Monday night. The Twi ns spotted Seattle six runs in the sixth inning, then came back for a 1 2-1 0 victory to knock the Mariners out of first in the wild-card race. "It just shows a little about the guys wearing the Twins uni uniforms," forms," Chuck Knoblauch said. Those Minnesota Twins? The team that woke up this morning 39 games out of first place in the AL Central? That horrible team? "We don ' t have any thi n g else toplay for," manager Tom Kelly said. "If we can try to win a couple of games here and there, and upset the apple cart a little bit, well, it's just the way it is." The loss snapped a three three-game game winning streakfor the Mari Mariners, ners, now half a game behind the New York Yankees for the wild wildcard card slot Kansas City and Texas, idle Monday, are two games off the pace. Jay Buhner's 31st homer, a three-run shot, capped the Mari Mariners' ners' sixth. Buhner may have unintentionally inspired the Twins when he answered the 18,193 fans' demand for a cur curtain tain call. After the Twins rallied for four runs in the seventh, they had to come back again because Buhner's two-run single in the bottom of the inning put the Mariners ahead again 8-7. Minnesota won the game with five unearned runs in the eighth. Catcher Dan Wilson's passed ball handed the Twins the lead at 9-8, second baseman Joey Cora committed an error, and Buhner had amiscue in right field. "We're 30 some games out,' ' Kirby Puckett said. "We have a lot of young guys on this team and it's their time to show man management, agement, "Hey, I can play.' "If I was a young guy, I'd be in heaven right now." It was a demoralizing loss for the Mariners, who knew be before fore the game that the Yankees had beaten Cleveland 4-0. "When you score 10 runs, normally that's good enough to win," Buhner said. Buhner had five RBIs, giv giving ing him a career-best 102, and the Mariners also got home runs from Ken Griffey Jr., his 12th, and Wilson, his seventh. The Twins, who have al allowed lowed 1 86 homers in 1 24 games, are on pace to give up 216. The 1987 Baltimore staff allowed a major-league record 226 in 162 games. Kelly used six pitchers. For five innings, it looked like he was going to need only one. Brad Radke didn't give up a hit until the fifth, when Tino Martinez singled. Pat Mahomes (4-7) got the victory, and Dave Stevens got Buhner to ground out for the final out for his ninth save. Manager Lou Piniella's de defense, fense, considered suspect at best, betrayed him in the eighth. Cora opened the gates by misplaying leadoff pinch-hitter Matthew Lawton ' s two-hopper for an error. Then there was the bullpen. The Mariners used six pitchers after Tim Belcher left in the sixth inning. Bill Ri.sley gave up four runs on five hi's in two-thirds of an inning. Jeff Nelson (5-3) took the loss. The Twins, 26-30 in their last 56 games, got 17 hits, in including cluding four each from Richard Becker and Knoblauch. It was Becker's first career four-hit game and Knoblauch's third. Becker drove in four runs and Knoblauch three, including his 1 1 th homer.
