For many students, this process of moving the house seems mysti mystical, cal, but an on-site construction worker labeled it as time-consuming but simple. According to an on-site con construction struction worker with Rainbow Construction, the process is to "jack it up with steel beams underneath, shim up around the sides of (this involves putting leveling off the sides of the house using thin wedges of wood between the crevices), and put tires on it so it can be pulled by a big truck," he said. The fireplace, -which was old and decayed, was removed from the south side of the house. The project itself takes four to five workers about a week to get the house ready to move, and then ex extensive tensive on-site work is needed once .he house arrives at 2340 State St. The on-site worker estimated that it takes about a fourth as long to get the house situated and in place as it would to build an entirely new house.

Rainbow Construction is in the process of preparing about three houses to be moved on March 5. Although the house was originally supposed to be moved by January in order to do preparatory underground work for the Olin Science Center, Brian Hardin, Vice President of Fi Financial nancial Affairs said that the delay until March is not a problem since all work will start in April and be the responsibility of the company which is constructing the Olin build building. ing. Willamette University, apart from giving the building to the City of Salem, has had nothing to do with the actual selecting of a con contractor tractor or moving of the house: those decisions have been up to the City of Salem. The house will be located at the corner of State Street and 23rd Street. Once the house is in place, extensive remodeling will take place in order to turn it into a low-income triplex. The State Historic Preservation Office has required that the house be remodeled using historic preser preservation vation guidelines regarding materi materials als and design to preserve the his historic toric nature of the house. The house is listed on the Na National tional Register of Historic Places, due to its architectural history as well as its association with the Duniway family, according to Art History Professor Roger Hull. According to Hull, who wrote a history of the University House, the house was originally located at 925 Court Street, across from the State Capitol, in the area that is now the Capitol Mall. . The Duniway house, as it was originally called, was built for Willis Scott Duniway, who was the son of Abigail Scott Duniway, a women's rights activist in Oregon in the late nineteenth century and his wife 5 , 4 The University House is listed on the National Register of Historic Places due to its architectural history.

Cubans return PANAMA CITY, Panama - The American military on Monday flew the last group of Cuban raft refu refugees gees back to the U.S. Naval Base at Guantanamo, Cuba. The 13 refugees were among some 8,500 who arrived at camps on the banks of the Panama Canal six months ago to relieve over overcrowding crowding at Guantanamo. They were among tens of thou thousands sands who fled;Cuba on rafts last summer after Cuban President Fidel Castro said he would not stop them. Thousands are believed to have died at sea trying to make the 90 mile float to Florida. The Interior Ministry last week denied the rebels' charges, saying its hunt for rebel leaders "will be realized with strict adherence to the law and respect of human rights." A government arrest warrant is still out for Marcos. Human rights organizations have also expressed concern about reported abuses. In a Feb. 1 3 report, Amnesty International said a num number ber of alleged rebel leaders arrested by the government have been beaten and tortured.

Clinton claims faith and humility WASHINGTON, D.C. - President Clinton says some religious con conservatives servatives need to show more charity in their opposition to him, and he called himself "much more humble" in his faith than many of those critics.

Those who were not detained or ques questioned tioned were terrified by the way the Q army ransacked their homes, he and the other villagers said. Another peasant, Hector, said soldiers tore apart his store. "They took every thi ng," he said. They even destroyed the inside of the village's government clinic, he added, "even the birth certificates." The army has since moved out of Ibarra, leaving behind huge piles of garbage accumulated in nearly a week of occupation. The troops are now in the nearby town of Santa Elena. Bishop estimated the group's Oregon membership is in the "the hundreds." The group aims to estab establish lish an all-white "homeland" cover covering ing Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana and Wyoming, he said. "We work like glue to pull all these organizations together," he said, "just like the civil rights move movement ment of the 1960s."

"There's no such thing as rac racism ism when you only have one race in that state," he said. Area police say they are worried about the Aryan Nations' presence in the Rogue Valley and fear the group may be violent. Bishop bristled at the suggestion, insisting the group is law-abiding.

"And they would probably see someone who is, perhaps rightly or wrongly, much more humble in his Christian faith than many of them are." Clinton, in the interview taped last week, said he has encouraged the involvement of religious people in public life. He noted that he signed the Religious Freedom Restoration Act, which made it harder to restrict reli religious gious practices.

Compiled from Collegian Wire Services r News February 24, 1995 The Collegian Group contemplates combining service, learning 3 H The Service Learning Task Force would like to see students do volunteer work as a part of their classes. by Charlotte Jones Staff Writer If the Service Learning Task Force had its way, Willamette stu students dents could serve their community by going to class. For the past few months, Willamette's Service Learning Task Force has annexed itself to the Work Working ing Group on the Curriculum in or order der to examine the possible role of service in the new curriculum. Though it deals with volunteer work, service learning is separate from the other options offered at Willamette through the Community Outreach Program. Service learn learning ing refers to community service done as part of a course. Professor of Rhetoric and Me Media dia Studies and member of the task force David Douglass says, "it is having students, faculty and admin administration istration engage in community ser service vice as a component of the curricu curriculum." lum." The task force claims to have two major goals in its involvement with the Working Group on the Cur- n (sC Curriculum Review riculum. Its members would like to educate Willamette's students and faculty about service learning and eventually would like to see service learning integrated into a larger part of the curriculum. Though the group doesn't plan to require it either in individual classes or as a graduation requirement, "we would like to see more people involved," said Linda Heuser, Professor of Sociology. The task force has targeted World Views as one place in the curriculum where service learning seems to have an almost natural fit. "I think World Views is uniquely suited to service learning given that one of its functions is to get students and faculty to examine their own paradigms," says Douglass. Most of the task force's propos proposals als are aimed toward encouraging Willamette's faculty to somehow integrate service learning into their courses. The group hopes to receive funding in the form of a Hewlett grant in the near future. They would like to divide the money up and give it to faculty members who success fully incorporate service learning into their curriculum as was done in the Spring of 1994. Willamette President Jerry Hudson gave four $500 awards to faculty who developed service learn learning ing components in the classes they taught. "It would be nice to call attention to what is already going on," Heuser said. The committee would also like to use the grant money to eventually develop two Part B courses largely centered around community service, either as the topic of the course or as service learning. The group would also like to offer more workshops which focus on it I think World Views is uniquely suited to service learning," service integra integration tion in the curricu curriculum lum and other top topics. ics. To raise awareness among the entire Willamette com community, munity, the group will make an ef fort to bring in speakers "nation "nationally ally known for their leadership in service learning," said Heuser. The committee has already suggested such speakers as Ira Harkavy and Kathy Comstock. Douglass would like to see not only several speakers offered each semester, but would also support a convocation, a work workshop shop and even a reflection group on service. Another brainchild of the com committee mittee is the idea of a Service-Learning Handbook. Though ideas seem to vary among group members, both Douglass and Heuser agree that its main function would be, as Douglass says, "a resource for anyone who wanted to learn more about service." One of the task force's main goals in the past months has been to gather information about how much the Willamette community does re realize alize about service learning through distributing surveys and conversing over e-mail. In the last two weeks Ron Krabill, a mem member ber of the task force, has sought to educate mem members bers of the fac- -David Douglass, uity and admin admin-Rhetoric Rhetoric Professor Nation by send send-ing ing mforma- tional messages about service over e-mail. The first of these mes messages sages answered the question "what is service?" The group has also tried to get student input, but the information they received has been, according to Heuser, "mostly anecdotal." The Service Learning Task Force has come up with some tentative ideas for increasing commu community nity service in the class classroom. room. Some of the ideas they are working on in include: clude: Including service learning as an integral part of the World Views program. Giving money from a possible Hewlett grant to professors who incor incorporate porate service learning in their courses.

In order to effectively use "willamette. student-voice," one should be clear about what a newsgroup is and how to use it. Usenet newsgroups, offered through the global Internet system, are sim simply ply topics of interest that can pro provide vide information and a way for people to express their opinions. Usenet is the name given to the sec section tion of Internet devoted to newsgroups. In a newsgroup, people from around the world can essentially write e-mail and post it for all to see. Of the presumably infinite number of newsgroups around the world, Willamette offers hundreds of them covering many different topics. "Willamette.student-voice" is the newest of Willamette's six newsgroups, which are available to anyone with a Gemini account. Three people at Willamette con conceived ceived the idea of a newsgroup in which students, faculty and admin administration istration could express feelings about the campus. Keiko Pitter, Director of Aca Academic demic Computing, Bruce Arnold, User Services Specialist, and stu student dent Bryce Mercer discussed it and finally added the newsgroup to Usenet. The purpose of the newsgroup is "for students to post their thoughts, opinions and have debates - what whatever ever they want to put on there. Basi Basically cally its a place to be heard by each other. Also there are going to be some administration people on there, not to control the group in any way but to hear what the students have to say," said Arnold. The potential for expression of opinions and new ideas, improve improvement ment of the school and awareness of minority views is tremendous, ac according cording to Arnold.

H - '1 The Galeria,'5th fl. Room 402 222-5556 T Editorial The Collegian February 24, 1995 Sexual Harassment policy not quite finished When the Board of Trustees approved the revised Sexual Harassment policy last month, they finished three years of extensive work. Well, almost finished. The policy is well-conceived and very evenhanded in its approach to the complicated issue of sexual harass harassment. ment. Many administrators and students worked very hard to make sure that it is fair. However, the Collegian feels that there is one element of the plan which has not been fully formulated. Under the heading "Sanctions" of Section F of the policy, a brief note is made that "if there is evidence that the allegations of sexual harassment are false, disciplin disciplinary ary action against the Complainant may follow." The idea behind trying to prevent people from filing false charges makes sense. Some part of the policy should protect people, including professors, staff and students, from allegations made out of spite or vengeance. For example, professors need to have some protection from a student who might vent their frustration over receiving a low grade by fabricating charges of harassment. Simi Similarly, larly, administrators need protection from spurious charges filed by angry ex-employees. However, despite the popular portrayals of this type of misuse of sexual harassment laws in movies such as Disclosure, these types of false allegations are so rare that they are almost unheard of. During a forum on the new policy last week, Vict President for Student Affairs Stuart Tennant and other administrators all admitted that in their collective years of experience, they had never seen a single case of that type of spiteful complaint. Nonetheless, it is not an inherently bad idea to include this kind of protection in the policy. The problem lies in the vague wording of the section. Under Section G, entitled "Records," the policy states that "where a complaint is found to be frivolous, a statement describing the nature of the complaint, the findings of the University and the disposition of the complaint shall be placed in the personnel or student conduct file of the Complainant..." These records will be kept for seven years, then destroyed. The real problem with this wording is that no explana explanation tion of the term "frivolous" is given. Without an adequate definition of this word, its meaning could be miscon misconstrued. strued. The student conduct files are also inadequately explained. Students who are unaware of the confidential nature of records kept on this subject may not make a formal complaint out of a fear of reprisal. People who are sexually harassed sometimes suffer feelings of self-doubt and denial for months afterwards. When these people turn to the Willamette sexual assault policy, they will wonder if their complaint will be per perceived ceived as frivolous or unwarranted. Of course, this sentiment is the kind that the university must combat in its attempt to provide an atmosphere "free of all forms of harassment, exploitation, intimidation and discrimina discrimination." tion." Aside from this problem, the revised Sexual Harass Harassment ment policy is a much-needed and much-welcomed addi addition tion to the campus. Its unique inclusion of students as sexual harassment advisors and the two-tiered system of formal and informal complaints deserve praise for their concern and insight into the problem of sexual harassment. Campus Safety invades students' privacy Residence Life and Campus Safety have really done it this time. According to Campus Safety offic officers, ers, they were acting "under the orders of Rich Shintaku," Dean of Residence Life, when they illegally burst into my locked room on the evening of February 1 8 and told me to evacuate the Kappa Sigma house where I live. I was ejected for "security rea reasons," sons," they said. I was told to leave and was not allowed to be present while they searched my room to make sure it was "secure." There may have been some rabid mice on the loose, but one thing is certain, there was no security problem in my room until Campus Safety showed up and gave me the boot. And after they were done violating my rights, the platoon of Safety officers illegally entered room after room and ejected members and resi residents dents of the house because they "had to retain complete control of the house" before the party could begin. Consider the constitutional im implications plications for a moment. Illegal en entering. tering. Illegal search. Invasion of privacy. A lawyer would have a field day. Student rights were thrown out the window so that Campus Safety could climb onto its power power-tripping tripping horse and feel important for once. Every member of Kappa Sigma was forced from lerhouse, their rooms, and every member of their co-host organization was also told to "get outside." Campus Safety didn't start let letting ting members of the hosting houses back in until almost a half hour after the party's scheduled starting time. And as it turned out, Safety insisted that a hired security officer be placed at the front door to monitor the House Director's performance, which left one guard for two other entrances. The remaining guard covered the side door, leaving the From the Editorial Board Dan Metz rear door unguarded and creating a huge security and liability gap for the fraternity as well as the univer university. sity. If Campus Safety and Residence Life require us to pay for an outside agency to provide security for us, but leave a gap in the party security to watch the front door, then there must be something else up Safety's sleeve. I'd like to know what that is. After all, we live in the house and know what areas are the house's biggest security risks, thus it would follow that we should designate where the security resources go. We make party preparations sev several eral weeks in advance, and follow national risk management guide guidelines lines which include the monitoring of the front door by the sober vice president of the house, and a group of sober party patrol officers, all backed by the House Director, an employee of Residence Life. It' s all very ironic, because Cam Campus pus Safety's blunder yielded no policy violations whatever, and only undermined the university's mis mission sion to "enhance learning and foster community." Instead, Safety only created an environment of hostility, bitterness and animosity. The Stu Student dent Handbook claims that "Willamette University is commit committed ted to creating and maintaining a community in which students, fac faculty, ulty, administrators, staff and other members of the community can work and live together in an envi environment ronment free of all forms of harass harassment, ment, exploitation, intimidation and discrimination." It goes on to say that this type of behavior is "unac "unacceptable," ceptable," "and will not be toler tolerated." ated." Too bad Campus Safety doesn't abide by the very principles it is designed to protect. Even if WU claims to have the legal right to eject students from their rooms, it isn't in the Student Handbook, or any other literature, and thus should be considered an unfair, unjustifiable action against the student body. The book does tell us that "students do not surrender their constitutional rights as citi citizens zens by becoming members of the Willamette community." As students of this university and members of the community, we have an obligation to formally com complain plain to the university administra administration, tion, and if necessary take it to an outside agency for arbitration. If we stand by and allow the administra administration tion to continue its power trip over us, we have failed ourselves and every future student of this "fine" institution. If you feel your rights were violated in connection to any of the issues raised here, join me in filing a complaint with the univer university. sity. According to the 1994-1995 Student Handbook, we can take our complaints to the Dean of Resi Residence dence Life and the Dean of the Col College lege where they will appoint a non non-teaching teaching faculty at the request of the student to draft the complaint. If we stand by and allow the university to slowly encroach our lives with fabrications of "security" threats trample our liberty, then we have committed the greatest act of injustice.

Opinion February 24, 1995 TJje Collegian 3 Affirmative It seems you can't turn on the television or open a newspaper these days without hearing the latest batch of pros and cons about affirmative action. ft The Congress of the United States has turned its attention to the issue, and last weekend Senator Phil Gramm said that if he is elected President in 1996, he will use an executive order to abolish quotas, and other forms of affirmative ac- 5 tion. The time has come for affirma affirmative tive action as we know it to be abolished. Affirmative action started back in the 1 960s as a way to allow blacks access to better schools so they could get better educations " so they could get better jobs. People on both sides of the argument agree it has not accomplished what it was supposed to, and many say that there have been many negative effects that have surfaced because of the program. The central problem with affir affirmative mative action is that the program does not focus on the people who really need assistance. All minorities are not equally disadvantaged. Instead, it offers assistance to all the people in a s particular group, regardless of their need for help. There is no means of testing for the people who receive assistance. There are people in minority groups who clearly do not need the ! benefits of affirmative action. Greg and Bryant Gumbel, both promi prominent nent television celebrities, grew up as children of a federal judge. They were given good educations and did Wealth binds people like poverty I don' t think there' s anything wrong with poverty, in principle. I also don't see what's so great about having oodles and boodles of money. I mean, it seems to me that all the socially-minded members of the upper class see poverty as a disease to be eliminated by somehow dragging the "bottom" of the population up to our level, as if our level is a really good place to be. In the minds of the most com compassionately passionately egalitarian activists, everyone deserves cable TV and two cars and a five-changer CD stereo system and dinner out twice a week.

Well, yes, of course it's a problem in a sense - it traps and binds millions of people the world over, although conditions haven't escalated to such cata catastrophic strophic levels here in the lovely United States. But why is it that we con convince vince ourselves, not to mention those we want to help, that our own position of affluence is less of a problem and less of a trap? There is no such thing as external freedom, however much we idealize it - whatever eco economic nomic or social stratum we live in binds us in some way. At Willamette, our particu action no longer useful not need outside assistance. Does anyone believe that they or perhaps the children of the president of the Coca-Cola company (who happens The Law-bbyist Lars E. Toftemark to be Cuban) need affirmative ac action tion assistance? The finest schools and best lifestyles are waiting for them and yet they are still consid considered ered members of a disadvantaged minority group that is eligible for assistance. Affirmative action programs have also been abused all across this country. There are small busi businesses nesses in the local area who have transfered 51 percent of the com company pany stock from the male owners to their wives. This makes the former non-minority owned company a new mi minority nority owned company - giving all sorts of opportunities to receive lu lucrative crative government contracts. The business owners who play by the rules and allow their ownership to accurately reflect the real situation are penalized because they are re rejected jected from getting some of the gov government ernment contracts, even when they bid lower.

I remember wondering on my first day here how it was that so many other students knew where to go and what to do. Then I found out some students had already been to school for three days. The College of Law has a tutor tutoring ing program open to any student who earned poor grades and were put on academic probation. But, minority students can receive the extra turoring regardless of their grades, while non-minority students not on academic probation are not allowed access to the turoring. Un Under der anyone's standards, this does not seem equitable. This is not an atttack on minor minority ity students. Instead, the point is that all students who need assis assistance tance should be given it. All stu students dents should be given the opportu opportunity nity to do well in school. To achieve that goal, all students, who are hav having ing difficulty should be given equal access to assistance regardless of their ancestry. If the program is open to minor minority ity students that are not having the same level of academic problems then it should also be opened to non-minority students under the same circumstances who are not having academic problems. Every Everyone one knows that all students from all different backgrounds want to do well in school, and they should be given equal assistance within that education. This is not an issue of race. It should be an issue of determining who really needs assistance and helping those people so that they can improve themselves. Period. the last of their flour to make me some warm tortillas.

"The purpose of tying this into Gender Perspectives was to provide an opportunity to educate the cam campus pus on the new sexual harassment policy," said moderator Deb Loers, Director of Health and Counseling. Vice President for Student Af Affairs fairs Stuart Tennant began the pre presentation sentation by discussing the mechan mechanics ics of the policy and how it came to be. Director of Human Resources Carol Black discussed her role in the program, and Director of Career Ser Services vices for the Atkinson School of Management Jennifer Murray dis discussed cussed her role as a sexual assault advisor. Two student sexual harass harassment ment advisors were also present.

"Now that we have the policy in writing, where do we go with it?" said Tennant. The unique elements of the new policy are also the result of an analy analysis sis of the old policy by Dr. Bernice Resnick-Sandler, Senior Associate for the Center for Women Policy Studies, last year. According to Tennant, she "characterized our policy as not very user-friendly." The unique part of the new policy is that students as well as staff act as Sexual Harassment Advisors. There are three students who act as advisors; one from the College of Liberal Arts, one from the School of Law and one from the Atkinson School of Management. "Students may intentionally go to students from another school in order to retain ano anonymity," nymity," said Tennant. The faculty advisors chosen all have tenure, in order to prevent any "fear of re reprisal," prisal," according to Tennant.

The second part of the goal is to raise scholarship money for students who enter Willamette from Salem area high schools.

Scott stressed that the scholar scholarship ship money local businesses donate is not the only aspect of this cam campaign. paign. The most important thing, according to Scott, "is to strengthen ties between Willamette and the Salem community." Besides schol scholarship arship money, the efforts of the Town & Gown Campaign has also resulted in student internships and an increase of awareness.

This form takes place between co-workers and peers and includes pressing someone for a date after they have , said no, inappropriate teasing and continued sexist remarks. An important aspect of the com complaint plaint process which Tennant stressed is that the sexual harass harassment ment advisors cannot guarantee ab absolute solute confidentiality. Although the i Chaplain and the Counseling Center have privileged communication and cannot be compelled to reveal infor information mation about a client, federal law mandates that any agent of the uni university versity who knew or should have known about an instance of sexual harassment is required to investi investigate gate or take action. Because the stu student dent advisors are agents of the uni university, versity, this requirement extends to them as well. One way to seek ad advice vice from these advisors without requiring them to investigate is to not give names, according to Black.

"This is a very, very critical time," Bowen-Quinones began. The struggle in Chiapas is so serious to her that she began a fast at noon, midway through the convocation, to protest the situation. After out outlining lining how peace in Chiapas has distingrated during the last year, she showed a video which was origi originally nally compiled by NBC and shown on the Today show. The video showed how many of the people of Chiapas were being forced to live in poverty. Reporters interviewed the rebel leader of the Zapatista National Liberation Army, Marcos.

Shortly after, reporters were forced out of Chiapas. Bowen-Quinones be believes lieves reporters were forced out to cover up human rights violations. She says that since the peso has recently been devalued and Mexico is facing other economic problems, the Mexican government is trying to crush rebel resistance and she is trying to make people aware of what is going because she wants people to get involved in stopping the Mexican government from kill killing ing people in Chiapas. Bowen-Quinones wants people to write to US government officials "to support the demands of the Mexican people and to end the ar arbitrary bitrary arrest and detention of ci civilian vilian opposition leaders and end Mexican Army occupation of the state of Chiapas."

Asian Association participates in Asian celebration Members of the Willamette University Asian Association, along with a large group of TIUA students from Doney Hall, attended Eugene's massive 10th Annual Oregon Asian Celebration Satur Saturday, day, Feb. 18. The Asian Celebration, which is an annual event organized by the EugeneSpringfield Asian Council, highlights the varied culture of Asia and is meant to promote diversity and understanding. Opening ceremonies began at the Lane County Fairgrounds at 1 1 a.m., starting with a traditional Chinese Lion Dance. The main stage program for Saturday showcased a variety of Asian entertain entertainment, ment, including Japanese Taiko drumming and a wide variety of dances from Thailand, the Philippines, the Middle East, India, Hawaii and Polynesia. There were also areas dedicated to craft, cooking and martial arts demonstrations, including Bonsai preparation, an art exhibit, as well as a special area for kids to explore and learn. A wide variety of food stands, operated by local cultural associations and area restaurants, offered regional specialties from Japanese Yakisoba noodles to Indian Curry to Filipino Chicken Adobo. Various other tables offered a range of products and services which included books and travel information about their respective countries. Although original plans called for one group to leave early and one to stay until closing time at 6 p.m., most people were fairly worn out by the middle of the afternoon. Tired but happy and satisfied, all the WU and TIUA students returned to Willamette after four. "We were really impressed by the turnout we got, and I think everybody had a pretty good time," said Asian Association President Jolene Yee. ASWU schedules roller skating party for Tuesday night ASWU Activities will be sponsoring a roller skating party on Tuesday, February 28 th, at the Skate Palace from 10 to midnight. The Skating Palace is located at 1 860 Fisher Road NE. A Willamette bus will take students to the activity free of charge. The Bear Cat Roller Skating Bus will leave at 9:45 p.m. from the front steps of the University Center. If students wish to take the bus, they must sign up at the University Center before Tuesday. The entry fee and roller skates will be free to all Willamette students. If students prefer not to roller skate they also have the luxury of bringing and using their own roller blades. The ASWU roller skating parties of the past have been very sucessful. In the past events, as many as 50 Willamette students have attended. The ASWU roller skating party should be a highly sucessful event since it is a time for students to take a break from their studies and have some good clean fun with many of their Willamette friends. For more information about ASWU roller skating night, call the U.C. desk at 6267. ASWU sponsors anti-hate rally ASWU, in cooperation with Operation Deam, will put on a "Speak Out Against Hate."

Joyce Greiner will be leaving in May after seven years of service as the Director of Multicultural Affairs and Disability Services; she looks forward to writing, storytelling and using power tools. 8 By Amy Schlegel Contributor The majority of people in today's workforce are interested in being able to "do it all." They want to have a family, a career, a social life - everything. A few people, however, have the cour courage age and integrity to follow their own heart rather than the crowds. Cesie Delve Delve-Scheuermann, Scheuermann, Director of Student Activi Activities, ties, is one such person. "Not unto ourselves alone are we born" is Willamette University's motto, but it is also Delve-Scheuermann's personal motto. As the Director of Student Activities and as a member of the community and her family, she strives to live by this motto. Herpositioninthe latter role is about to take root while her time in the former role is growing short. This semester will be Delve Delve-Scheuermann's Scheuermann's last semester serving Wil Willamette lamette in her current capacity. Delve Delve-Scheuermann Scheuermann an announced nounced her intent to resign on Wednesday Feb. 1. She has been playing with the idea since November and as time passed she felt it becoming a real and concrete possibility. Luke, her 15 month month-old old son, is growing up very quickly and r mr " . ' 1 " ' ' "... . . . r-i I ' - t I !

Caring for her son is what she wants to do - she will do so with courage, anticipation and a dose of uncer uncertainty. tainty. The move was not an easy decision. Her staff, consisting of Rachel Caraher, Secre Secretary, tary, Michelle Howell, Assistant Director of Student Activities, Ron Krabill, Assistant Director for Community Outreach and Tony Noble, Facilities Coordinator, has kept her here, Delve-Scheuermann said. When she announced her decision to them she described the scene as one full of "emotional distraught," which included her herself. self. A choked up Delve-Scheuermann said, "1 really love my staff and I really consider them friends. It is very hard to leave them." Delve-Scheuermann views this decision as a challenge and a new step. She is excited to spend time with Luke rather then send him to day care. At the same time, she is taking a step into the unknown. She has always worked and is unclear how this new profession as mom will suit her. She hopes to work part time at Willamette in the near future. Her "passion" as she calls it, is connecting service to the learning process. Hopefully, she will move in that direction when, and if she returns. She also hopes to have more opportuni opportunities ties to get involved in the community and to work in her church more actively. The "actively" part should not be a prob problem lem for Delve-Scheuermann. In the fouryears she has been at Willamette her job has kept her very active. Noble describes her as a "hands-on" worker who gets in and actually takes part in the activities she plans. For example, Delve-Scheuermann is in charge of the Opening Days pro program gram and acts as a staff leader teaching World Views. Sheenjoys the pro program gram a great deal, as it puts her in contact with students and faculty she does not normally work with. She said this past year included "amaz "amazing" ing" students and she is "glad to be leaving with such a good memory of the last Opening Days." Delve Delve-Scheuermann Scheuermann said she was most proud of chairing the committee which brought the AIDS MemorialNames Quilt to Willamette's campus in April, 1993. The quilt attracted four times the number of people expected and gained amazing press coverage. It was a very memorable and mov moving ing experience for Delve-Scheuermann. Noble credited Delve-Scheuermann as "the reason the COP got off the ground." Her previous position at Georgetown University in the Volunteer and Public Service Center gave her the knowledge to raise the program to its present level of activity. Delve-Scheuermann describes her expe experience rience at WU as enjoyable; she enjoys the people here and believes a dedicated core of faculty members make up this campus. She also is glad to see WU continually "striving to become a better place." By Joe Findling Editor "What's important to me is that we've set up a sense of community for people," Joyce Greiner remarked about her efforts at Wil Willamette lamette over the last seven years. "That' s what all these programs and taco feeds and waffle breakfasts and all the rest of it is about - setting up a sense of community so that people don't feel quite so lonely." Greiner recently resigned from her posi position tion as Willamette University's Director of Multicultural Affairs and Director of Disabil Disability ity Services; her time here will end May 31. Along with her position, Greiner founded and oversees the Lesbian, Gay, and Bisexual As Association, sociation, is the Director of the Womyn's Center, and teaches ISA 130, Minority Awareness. These programs have been Greiner' s effort as the Director of Multicultural Af Affairs fairs to make ethnic students feel welcome and comfortable at Willamette. ACCESS (Academics, Culture, Community, Experi Experience, ence, and Social and Spiritual living), apro apro-gram gram she began this year to give these stu students dents a "holistic look at what any new per person son would be dealing with in their life," incor incorporates porates activities and retreats to establish this sense of community.. "The goal for this year was to bring their retention rate up" to match the overall reten retention tion rate for the univer university, sity, Greiner said. "There's no reason aper- son of color or an older than average student shouldn't have the same education as everybody else." That rate is approximately 74 percent, while the retention rate for Hispanics is ap approximately proximately 54 percent, and between 42 and 44 percent for the group comprising Afro Afro-Americans Americans and American-Indians, according to Greiner. Asian-Americans have approximately 76 percent retention, but the average for ethnic students is still lower than the overall univer university sity average. Being of Blackfootlndian descent (by her father, while hermotheris Caucasian), Greiner brought a unique perspective to her role of creating a comfortable multicultural arena for students. "When I first came here seven years I Is .... i ; ....;, : ! ' . i : Si My life has been so blessed because of the people I've met here." Joyce Greiner, Director of Multicultural Affairs and Disability Services ago," Greiner explained, "I knew what the university was. It was a very stable upper middle class dominantly white school. "I knew that the ethnic programs weren't in place at that time and I was pretty well prepared to handle that," Greiner continued. 'The reality is when I came here I was really lonely for quite a while; at that time, the students weren' tcoming in, there were hardly any other people of color on campus and I didn't realize how necessary a sense of community was to me." With an understanding and empathy for minority students at Willamette, Greiner was able to re-establish a sense of cultural and even social diversity on campus. "I'm proud of having enlarged some people's idea about the meaning of diversity. I think when most people when I first came here talked about diversity, I think they actually meant black and white," Greiner said. "That enlarged imme immediately diately to accept Indi Indians, ans, Hispanics - other people." Besides being re responsible sponsible for all the ethnic students on campus, Greiner works with all the non non-traditional traditional students, as well as any students with disabilities. Since Greiner began the po position sition of working with students withdisabilP ties, the number has "gone from zero to about 65," she said. Her basic ap approach proach is to "interview the student, find out what the student needs, find out how we're capableofresponding, and follow through. It's very individual," she said. The intent is to insure that "the person is competing on an even playing ground" with other students after the accomodation has been made. At the age of 50, Greiner realizes that she has reached "cronehood," explaining that "elders in my culture have strength, power, and wisdom." She intends to spend time writing stories and poems, storytelling and working with power tools. "I turn into a crone this year, and crones can do anything they want to," she remarked. "My life has been so blessed because of the people I've met here. These people are my family. Because of them my family is so much larger than it ever was before," Greiner concluded. Bizarre 'birdfeeder' alarms neighbors Associated Press A dead calf, skinned and placed atop a 14-foot-tall platform as a bird feeder, disturbed passersby who thought it was a satanic sacrifice. But the property owner, sculptor David Gross, said he intended no offense. "I put it there so the birds would have suet for the winter, and I would eventually have the bones," he said Thursday. Gross said he wanted to use the bones in a sculpture. The display prompted calls to the Spokane County sheriffs office and animal control. "It looked like a min miniature iature pavilion, and at the top was this dead calf," said Lea Armstrong, who oftenridesherhorsenearGross'home ' "The tail and ears were cut off, and it was skinned from shoulders to legs, and you could see right through it. It was gross,"she said. "It looked satanic," said Jacquely n Abbott, who was riding with Armstrong when they saw the car carcass cass last week. "I don't know what a satanic symbol looks like. I don't believe in Satan," Gross said. The county couldn't force Gross to remove the carcass for 24 hours, at which time it could be taken away as a health hazard. Gross said he took the carcass down voluntarily because he didn't want to offend anyone, but he was unhappy that people called the county to complain. r Let us combine all your debts into one cnCT-to-mnnnjtc nnvmonL Bad credit no problem.

Waiting for the Parade opens to tonight night at 8 p.m. and closes March 5. It ??s the story of five Canadian women in Calgary, Alberta during World War n, as they each deal with their own personal tragedies and unspoken hor horrors rors surrounding the war. Four of these women volunteer for the Red Cross, which includes preparing sup supplies plies and cheering on trainloads of men as they prepare to evacuate their homes for parts unknown. Catherine, played by Darcy Jensen, has a husband at war that she is trying desperately not to forget, --while Eve, played by Emily Strang, nas a husband that wishes he could be at war, but was rejected for being too old. Eve is a school teacher facing the dilemma of losing most of her male students to the war effort. Kim Braasch plays Margaret, the -eldest of the bunch, who has one son in the war and another persecuted for his distribution of anti-war literature. Janet, played by Sara Gustafson, is their extremely uptight Red Cross coordinator that can't quite seem to handle the pressures of war-time ef efforts. forts. All actors played their parts well, with Strang contributing some well well-needed needed humor and impressive vocal talent in musical scenes. Andrea Stuart 'Hoop Dreams' explores inner Kara McAnulty I love basketball. That's pretty much all there is to it. It started with my Dad, whose love for the game took him to the pros. Though he passed his interest in the sport on to me, I did not inherit his skill. However, I still find myself drawn to every game I can get to, whether it be a junior high match or a pro game. I was therefore eagerly awaiting the opportunity to see the documen documentary tary "Hoop Dreams." I first heard about this film when it debuted at the Sundance Film Festival last year. Believe it or not, this film has finally arrived in our little village, so Ik I suggest you take this opportunity to see it. Basically, the film is just what the title says. It is about two young men who eat, breathe and sleep basket basketball, ball, with the hopes of someday mak ing it to the NBA. The two subjects, William Gates and Arthur Agee, are both from inner-city Chicago, and have less than privileged lifestyles. However, they both have an amazing talent for basketball. At 14, they are both being recruited to play for local high schools. They wind up at the same place -a suburban Catholic high school named St. Joseph's. This happens to be the same school that Isiah Thomas played for, which we are constantly reminded of throughout the film. gives an exceptional performance as Marta, the chain-smoking Canadian national of German descent who im immigrated migrated at age 9. Her father is in an internment camp for suspected ties to the Nazi party, and she is left to run his clothing store, scorned because of her German ethnicity. The plot alio ws for some interest interesting ing conflict situations between the five women, as they either take their feelings of frustration out on each other or defend one another. Scenechanges are highlighted by musical accompaniment from the era, and often the women dance around and sing some verses themselves. Unfortunately, it happens far too of often ten for one to actually become im immersed mersed in the story line. Whether it was the intention of writer John Murrell or the direction of Susan Coromel, the play just does not move quickly enough to provide a lot of interest. There is either too much or not enough focus on the setting (life during war-time), the problems with being a woman in a male-governed global activity or the social interaction and stereotypes among women once men are not around. In the production's attempt to convey a message about all three of these ideas, it covers none of them sufficiently enough to prove interest interesting. ing. Too much of the culture and fads of the time, such as the music and dancing, become distractions rather than supplements to the action within the play. The focus of the conversation is almost always the men abroad, and becomes bogged down with specific details meant to convey emotions of St. Joe's offers partial scholar scholarships ships to both of the young men, in the hope of a state championship for the school. While both William and Arthur start off on the same foot at St. Joe's, they quickly take differentpaths once they are there. Though he enters St. Joe's on a fourth-grade level, William takes both his school work and his game seri seriously. ously. He is coachable, and acclimates himself well with the rest of the var varsity sity team. He has a fairly stable home life, with a supportive family, though he has not seen or spoken to his father in quite a few years. Right from the get-go, we are rooting for William. He has the right attitude, the right look, and we just want him to succeed. We follow him through all his trials and tribulations, including a knee injury that could very well put an end to his career. He comes through all of the hard times, graduates from St. Joe's, and gets a scholarship to Marquette Uni University. versity. Even if he chooses not to play basketball there, his four-year educa education tion is guaranteed. Basically, he is free of the poverty and the lifestyle thathegrewupin. Basketball was his ticket out, and he used it to the fullest extent. ' William's battle for success was a tough one, and Arthur's was quite possibly even more trying, and even more frustrating for the audience to follow. Though William and Arthur are given the same opportunities at St. Joe's, the odds seem to be against 1 "v. - ' ;r f X fj i , ' ' Eve (Emily Strang, seated) and attemptto distract themselves from with their hair. angst and despair.

He goes back to his neighbor neighborhood hood and attends the public high school, Marshall. Though he plays on the team there, he gets little indi individual vidual attention, and he is not chal challenged lenged to grow as a player. He takes his team to new heights, but gets little personal gain, barely graduates, and does not get recruited to any colleges. He eventually gets a scholarship to a very small junior college, but one can't help but compare his situation to the NBA dreams he conveyed at the beginning of the film. Arthur's story is hard to watch knowing that he is a victim of his surroundings, as is William. Every system that exists seems to be working against these young men, and that is what is so frustra'jng to watch. The potential that they have is completely overshadowed by the overbearing obstacles which block their paths to success. Unfortunately, this is only an ex example ample of what is going on in our inner-cities, and Arthur and William are only examples of a system that is failing millions of people. I left the film hopeful for William and Arthur, but the film did not leave Catherine (Darcy Jensen, standing) thetraves ties ofwar by experimenting women's community.

This film is long (over three hours), but it is very involving and easy to get wrapped up in. It is a unique opportunity to follow these two young men for over five years, and experience what they go through right as they are going through it. It is very well directed and put-together. This film reminds us what a docu documentary mentary is and can be, and it is an absolute travesty (though not a sur surprise) prise) that this film was snubbed by the Oscars and did not receive a nomi nomination nation for best documentary.

On each weekday, practice times are of offered fered about four times per day.

Race relations is a very sensitive issue, and this week, it will be brought to the forefront of the minds of Wil Willamette lamette students, faculty and staff, as Operation Dream kicks off its second annual project, "Racism: Beyond the Here and Now." The week will contain a variety of movies, multi-media presentations, speakers, workshops and volunteer opportunities that deal with issues such as intercultural communication, oppression and inequality. Operation dream is a yearly event, started last year by a group of students concerned with bringing a greater awareness of pertinent social issues to the Willamette community. Last year, the group focused on homelessness, with informative sessions throughout the week, and even a homeless simulation. The event is student run, and sponsored by the Com Community munity Outreach Program (COP). This year, the program is largely funded through a grant from the Salem Founda Foundation. tion. Other groups involved include ASWU, the Educa Educational tional Programs Committee (EPC), the Office of Resi Residence dence Life (ORL), and the Multicultural Affairs Office. Racism was selected as this year' s theme for a number of reasons. "It's easy to ignore the issue of race here at Willamette. Sometimes we lose sight of how racism can hurt and destroy lives and communities," said senior Lisa Tran, one of the project coordinators. "We want to open dialogue in which to safely discuss race relations. We all have prejudices and we need to be able to discuss them without any feelings of hostility," said Tran. The tagline of "Beyond the Here and Now" was added to the theme of racism because the intent of the week is to expand and broaden campus attitudes beyond what they currently are, and "hopefully, the week will bring us a step in the right direction," said junior Tim Eblen, another of the group's coordinators. Several activities have been planned for the week by the student group, which is composed of Eblen, Tran, Brione Berneche, Erin Ziegenfuss, Heather Beebe, Kim Kaczmarek, Jolene Yee, Karen Wyckoff, Joelfre" Grant and advisor Ron Krabill, COP director. On Friday, the week will kick off with two movies, sponsored by the Black Student Organization: "The Politics of Love: Black . and White" and "Race Against Prime Time" in Smullin room 108 at 7 p.m. On Saturday, what is expected to be one of the week' s more popular activities will take place - Jacob Holdt's "American Pictures" will start at 3 p.m. in Smith Audito Auditorium, rium, and a workshop at 7 p.m. will follow in the Alumni Lounge.

Monday's first activity will be a workshop by profes professor sor Donna McElroy entitled "What is Racist?" beginning at 2 p.m. in the Alumni Lounge. The second is the production of "Listen Up," in which a panel of minority students and facultystaff voice their perspectives and experiences with racism. "Listen Up" will begin at 7:30 p.m. in the Hatfield Room. ' On Tuesday, Professor Richard Birke from the Center for Dispute Resolution at the School of Law will be speaking on "Race Negotiation" at 4 p.m. in the Hatfield room.

At 9 p.m. in the Alumni Lounge, a visual display called "Neighborhood" will be presented by Joyce Greiner, Director of Multicultural Affairs. "Neighborhood" dis displays plays life under racism, homophobia, and other "isms" that are a reality for many. Students can sign up in the mail room for Thursday's ( Service Day, in which everyone in the Willamette com community munity will be given an opportunity to volunteer at local organizations. This activity will allow volunteers to get a first hand look at what members of the community are ( doing to combat racism. The day will end with an all-campus party in the Cat Cavern at 7:30 p.m. with entertainment by a local band, as well as the "Kaagba Ohenaa," a music group with also performs African Tribal dances.

V'1 y V ' 4 February 24, 1995 Features Hie Collegian Trickery and dishes part of househoy regime by Lydia Alexander Staff Writer In many ways, their job descrip description tion may much resemble a Goudy Employee: responsible for setting up meals, serving at dinners, and doing the dishes, including the pots and pans. However, houseboys are more than just kitchen help recruited from various fraternities - they bring their jokes, companionship, and 'iaiergy into the houses they serve lunch and dinner at day after day. According to Maggie Shea, House Director at Delta Gamma, the basic responsibilities for houseboys are to be at the house before meals in order to set up, specially formal dinners, which take more time. They are also ex expected pected to work well with the cook, and clean up after the meal which means doing the dishes and wiping PI BETA PHI would like to invite the following gentlemen to HIDEAWAY 1995: Morgan Allen Matt Axling Joe Belcher Dave Bettineski Chris Boman Jamie Brown Brendan Buckley Brian Buckley Brian Burdon Ben Carrington Pat Chapman Kevin Christiansen Kent Clark Abe Cohen Steven Crawford Paul DeStefano Kevin Dix Joe Douglass Jon Eames Colin Eikman Chance Fewel Mark Fischer Adam Franklin Andy Frazier Matt Hale Brian Hess Thicker Jones Cy Kennedy Brent Knoke Trey Krueger Nathan Lequieu Jason Linnman Chris Littrell Michael Mahoney Tim Marshall Ian McMorrow Jon Morris Dane Mullins Loren Myers Scott Myers Jeff Olsen Dave Palanuk Kurt Peterson Tyler Peterson Justin Phillips Sean Quiriconi Tom Regan Mitch Reyes Andrew Robinson Josh Rudd Trent Rushton Carey Schmidt Josh Seligman Roger Shafer Aanen Trelstad Fred Voelkel Colin Weightman David Whetzel Christopher Wick Jeremy Williams Jason Wollmuth Nate Young the tables. Houseboys are paid for their work. In addition to receiving free meals, they earn a wage of about a dollar for each meal they serve. Often, houseboys return the next year to the houses they serve. Although the responsibilities are similar in each house, the traditions do differ. Alpha Chi Omega is the only house in which the houseboys sit in the dining room with the women. "We have to spread them out, one at each table, so their charm can be spread around," added Betty Smith, the House Director at Alpha Chi. "I'd prefer they eat in the dining room, one at each table, but they prefer to eat in the kitchen. I would like to see more men in the dining room altogether," said Shea. The houseboys in both Delta Gamma and Pi Beta Phi eat in the kitchen, except for Houseboy Appreciation Night in Pi Phi, when they eat in the dining room and are served by the women in the house. Houseboys bring more to the houses than their kitchen skills they also bring an incredible amount of energy and crazy antics. "The stories I could tell probably wouldn' t be printable," said House Director of Pi Beta Phi Phyllis Mueller. Food fights reign supreme in the house kitchens. Senior Ben Carrington, a houseboy at Pi Beta Phi, remembers one in particular. "We had a sundae bar a couple of years ago and the toppings ended up everywhere. It got kind of ugly," he reminisced. The crazy habits and jokes of houseboys are not entirely contained in the kitchen, either. Often the women of the house are subjected to the practical jokes of their houseboys. Jeff Poush noted that the most common is the "ooh, yuck smell-this joke, then you slam their face into whatever it is they're smell smelling." ing." The other long-standing joke is his infamous Dancing Hair Trick. "I've got many an Alpha Chi with that. . . I still have to initiate the pledges," said Poush. In fact, most houseboys would say that the social aspects of their positions, the opportunity to inter interact act with the women in the house, is an important element of their jobs. "I love it. I'm not there for the money, it's about relationships," said Poush, who has spent five years in the Alpha Chi Omega house, and earned the title Brother of Hermes, which identifies a distinguished friend of the house. Poush gradu graduated ated in December, but intends to stay at Alpha Chi for as long as he stays at Willamette, where he now works as a staff member with Cam Campus pus Ambassadors. "The big joke is they'll come back in ten years and I'll be the house dad," he said. Carrington, who has been a houseboy for three years, added "it's not like I dread going to work -1 go in, get something to eat, socialize, and go home. . . I will miss it." Another positive thing about being a houseboy, according to sophomore Pontus Jaderholm, a Delta Gamma houseboy, is that "the food is a lot better than at Goudy." "The women just love them, and they just love the women. . . I love my guys and wouldn't trade any one of them. And, they're a lot of help in the kitchen," said Smith. Some houseboys go above and beyond the call of duty in their responsibilities. Carrington and fel fellow low houseboy Pat Chapman began cooking dinner for Pi Beta Phi on the weekends when the cook was off duty. "It actually started sophomore year - we' d go over Saturday morn morning ing to eat. We told Phyllis we'd try and cook stuff on Saturday night." Some of their entrees have included pizza, stir-fry, barbecue, and Mexi Mexican can food. Another facet of the friendly relationship between houseboys and the women of the house is the dat dating ing relationships that sometimes occur. Mueller can remember when houseboys weren't allowed to date anyone in the house, and that a houseboy would have to quit his job if he became involved with a woman in the house. However, that has changed. "I used to steer away from hir hiring ing them if they were dating some someone one in the house , but once they start working, they end up dating someone in the house anyway," said Mueller, laughing. Lately, there has been some question over what the proper ter terminology minology for houseboys should be. Most houseboys refer to themselves just that way, as houseboys, but, more and more, people are becom becoming ing concerned that the term is de degrading, grading, and are using the phrase housemen. According to Shea, this is the only appropriate term, now that it's the nineties. Still, old habits die hard. Poush stated that he, like ev every ery other houseboy, has always called himself a houseboy, and is proud of the name. "That's ridicu ridiculous. lous. . . I'd rather be a houseboy than a dishdog," he said. According to Mueller, the most important thing she looks for in hiring a houseboy is how he treats women. If they can't treat women with respect, "they won't last long. They need to understand women's issues, or it's easy to offend." Poush, who helps Smith in hir hiring, ing, said that being "a personable, fun person to be around, someone who likes to hang out - who can have fun and get the work done" are the most important qualities he looks for in a potential houseboy. Smith's promises and pledges face reckoning OASWU Vice President Willie Smith's consistency in office with promises made during his campaign is examined. by Tiffany Derville Contributor Whether people are fans of ASWU Vice President Willie Smith or not, just about every everybody body knows who he is. And that, he says, is a sign that he is trying "pretty darn hard" to please his constituents. One of the planks that Smith reiterated throughout his campaign last spring was the pledge to create at least one activity that each student could enjoy. He also said that he wanted to allow students to have more direct input into the programs that ASWU offers. Smith's suc success cess with these and other promises up to this point in the school year is examined below. His events can be evaluated by looking at a few variables: cost, attendance, and student reaction. Smith says that he looks at the cost of an event before planning it, and while he consid considers ers attendance as an indicator of success, he bases most of his evaluation on student reaction. As an impartial way of examining the programs Smith has sponsored, a cost per student (CPS) figure is provided which takes both attendance and cost into account. Platform: Cut Black Tie. Y-- ccording to Smith's figures, this year's Black Tie dance cost about $ 1 ,200 less than last year's $ 1 2, 1 50. At the same time, Smith and the Programming Board increased attendance at the formal dance by over a hundred students. Smith and Co-Chair Andrea Ledford estimate that 970 970-1,000 1,000 students attended Black Tie. Last Year's CPS: $13.50; this Year's CPS: $11.13 Platform: Late Night Activities. Yes. Smith presented this idea as an alterna alternative tive to Greek activities. The Programing Board has held about four activities for the nocturnal crowd ranging from fimo night to a laser light trip at OMSI ($97.85). Receipts stated that a Poker Night had cost $ 1 7.03. According to Smith, attendance for late night activities has varied between 16 and 60 people. IstNightCPS: $1.52.; Poker Night CPS: $.31. Platform: One big name performer. Sort of. Although Smith considers Dennis Miller as his only "big name performer," many students consider Brady as a big league per performer former as well. ASWU paid $4,500 for Brady. Tickets for the Willamette community had cost $3 and ASWU charged $5 for other Brady fans. Smith stated that about 150-175 students at attended. tended. Smith believes that when deciding whether the CPS is justified, students need to consider "things like the level of excitement that Greg Brady brought to the campus." CPS: $17 Platform: Create diverse and better at attended tended EPC programs. Yes. Last year, the Educational Programs Committee presented a series of four speakers. Speaker Jerry Mander attracted 90 people, and 35 people attended Speaker Ken King. Com Compared pared with last year, more students have attended EPC events; nevertheless, Smith admits he hoped more people would have attended programs such as Photographer Jim Hubbard's lecture. Platform: Coast barbecue & bonfire. Yes . This event was a, "good way of wel welcoming coming new students," comments Chair Kari Raze. The program had cost under $200 and had an attendance of about 120 people. CPS: Under $1.67 Platform: Cut about $8,000 from the ac activities tivities budget No. This year's activities budget operates on $3,000 less than last year's $62,116. Smith explained that his promise referred to the amount that former vice president Kate Kenski had re requested, quested, as opposed to her actual activities bud budget. get. Smith points out that there is no reason to cut the budget when there is $3,676.47 sitting in the unallocated funds. Assistant Allison Kato re reports ports that Smith will return a "sizeable" amount to the unallocated by March. Platform: Design programming for non non-traditional traditional students. Sort of. Smith met with random off campus students only to find that they typically spend any time away from work and classes with their children. Platform: Work with major organiza organizations tions to avoid over-programing. Some. While Smith admits, "you cannot al ways avoid having two activities in one night," he has moved activities for events like RHA's Winter Ball and Sigma Chi's Casino Night. Platform: Let anyone make their activity ideas a reality. Sort of. Smith has followed up on student suggestions such as holding the Doney Anima Animation tion festival, showing Lion King and band con concerts. certs. Smith discontinued the Matthew's Base Basement ment Series and, instead, will plan a battle of the bands event in late spring. Smith also looked into holding a wine tasting event, but could not get around the stipulations that prohibit the use of ASWU funds to purchase alcohol. Platform: Outdoor movies in Quad. In the Works. RHA adopted the idea. Al Although though the Princess Bride was rained out in the fall, RHA is planning another outdoor movie for the spring. Platform: Super Bowl Party. No. The programing board decided to drop this idea because they could not find a space that could access the Super Bowl, allowed food, and had comfortable accommodations. Platform: Roller-skating. In the Works. "Come Skate With Me" is on the agenda for February 28th according to Raze. Platform: Ice skating in the winter. No. The programming board has planned a roller-skating event instead. Platform: Kareoke. No. Smith had scheduled a night of Kareoke for November; however, he delayed it for other events. Smith mentioned that he may plan the event as a late night activity ; however, DeStefano says the programming board has not discussed it. Platform: Visit Residence Halls. Yes. Residence halls, with the exception of WISH, have enjoyed what Smith calls, "his rounds." Smith say s he has not visited WISH due to the fact that activities have kept him busy and, "a lot of focus is on the other part of campus; WISH has their own programming." Platform: Create at least one activity which each student will enjoy. In the Works . Although there is no way of knowing, Smith feels that if nothing else, stu students dents either enjoyed Black Tie or one of the several movie nights that ASWU has sponsored.

We don't want to be used as cannon-fodder," Arseny Chanusev, a student at the Russian State Hu manitarian University in Moscow, said at a news conference. "We value our education, and our lives." In response to severe personnel shortages and surging draft eva evasion, sion, the General Staff of the Armed Forces has proposed revoking draft deferments for students.

I'd prefer to be sent to prison than go to continue this bloodshed," said a third-year student at Moscow Linguistics University, in an inter interview view with Associated Press TV. "The education of the youth is the future of this country." The defense committee in the State Duma, the lower house of Russia's parliament, is reviewing the proposal this week. Under current Russian law, all healthy males who have reached their 18th birthday are eligible for the draft, but students in universi universities ties are granted deferments. Upon graduation their exemp exemption tion expires - unless they have chil children, dren, turn 27, or develop disabili disabilities. ties. The only other time students in Russia were eligible for the draft was in the mid-1980s, when a need for more soldiers for the war in Afghanistan prompted the army to call up undergraduates. Former So Soviet viet President Mikhail Gorbachev then reinstated the deferment in response to public pressure in 1989. In an open letter to Russian President Boris Yeltsin and parlia parliament ment deputies Wednesday, dozens of academics, writers and artists called the Defense Ministry's pro posal the "bloodletting" of the country's intellectual potential. Judging from the Defense Ministry's proposal, we (Russians) want to strike a conclusive blow to the future of Russia - its education, science, culture," the letter, pub published lished in the newspaper Izvestia, said. Meanwhile, Moscow students, long-criticized for their political apathy, are planning to break their silence for Thursday's demonstra demonstrations. tions. The holiday, formerly Red Army Day, is usually commemo commemorated rated by fireworks and celebrations. But this year, the army's crumbling reputation and widespread dissat dissatisfaction isfaction with its actions in Chechnya are expected to prompt protests. They talk about patriotism," Chanusev said. "But this is not a war for our homeland. This is sense less killing." Morale in the army plummeted after the breakup of the Soviet Union.

Both teams are prepar preparing ing for nationals, which will take place next weekend in San Anto Antonio, nio, Texas. "It has been a goal all year long," said sophomore Jean Orth. Nine women and six men are going to ationals after meeting qualifying standards last weekend at the Con Conference ference championships in Tacoma, Washington. The women were led by Orth, who -placed third in the 500 freestyle and second in the 1650 free, it w e're about flying to a big meet." Sophomore Jean Orth senior Laura Juckelend, placing third in the 400 individual medley and fourth in the &00 backstroke, and junior Jennifer Hodges, who placed third in the 200 free and fourth in the 100 free. The women were also paced by strong performances in the relays. Each team placed no worse than third and the team of sophomore Bonnie Bauer, Hodges, Juckeland, and sophomore Danika Williams won the 200 freestyle race. The women finished in a tie for third" place with Linfield, while Whitworth won and Pacific Lutheran University came in sec second. ond. The men, on the other hand, were disappointed with their fifth place finish. "We knew it was going to be a tough meet," said Head Coach Skip Kenitzer. "But we were definitely noping for a higher finish." "It is a three day meet and we had a rough beginning on the first day," Kenitzer stated. "We had a great third day, which is why we did as well as we did.

Thorpe, who came to the team ijn exchange for Clyde Drexler and Tracy Murray, scored 13 points in 23 minutes Tuesday night as Port Portland land defeated the Minnesota Timberwolves, 99-86. "Comparing playing with the Blazers and Houston, everybody is involved here," he said. "It gives more opportunity to be looked at. My comfort level with the Blazers isn't where I want it to be but once I get active I think I can go with the flow."

"Just to get to nationals from this conference is an accomplish accomplishment ment within itself." With all of the women's relays teams competing, they have a good chance at achieving their goal of repeating last years finish in the top ten, when the team placed seventh. "The people who are going have worked hard all year long," said Orth. "We are excited about flying ' to a big meet and I think that we will be able to swim well because it's been our goal to get here." The men's team is hoping to improve on its performance in the Conference championships. "I think we should swim a lot better," said Tim Roth.

V Tennis en suffer by Doug Lewis Contributor The Willamette men's tennis team is beginning to get a repetitive look about it. They have only had two matches thus far this season. Both were losses, both to the Uni University versity of Oregon. The most recent setback was on Tuesday, in Eugene. They lost by a score of 1-9. The only winner for the team was senior Eric Norland who won 6-3 6-4 at the number one singles spot. Despite the lopsided defeat, some members of the team were positive about the match. "We played better this time against them than we did last time," said fresh freshmen men Jon Eames. "U of O is a tough team and it's good that we im improved." proved." The Bearcats had to do without the service of their coach, Russ Beaton, who was sick and unable to attend the match. Assistant coach Craig Kessler took Beaton's place on the road trip. This was the first time Kessler had worked with the team, but he will be a full time assistant for the rest of the season. A match was scheduled for the team last Saturday against Oregon State University in Corvallis, but was cancelled due to problems with the playing surface. " , Because the temperature changed so quickly, the court got a lot of condensation on it and it be became came really slippery," said sopho sophomore more Mark Dedrich.

The next opponent up for the men will be Portland State Uni University versity on Saturday in Portland. They are going into the match with a confident but cautious attitude. "We've beaten them in the past but they've usually been pretty close," Beaton said. " You never really know because it's a club sport up there and sometimes they bring guys in to take one class and spend all their time on tennis. They Willamette's Athlete of the Week Men's Swimming: Kirk Foster Senior, North Bend, Oregon Senior Kirk Foster's versatility as a swimmer last weekend at Pacific Lutheran University has earned him this week' s athlete of the week honors. Foster, whose regular event is the distance freestyle, swam a 200 meter backstroke time trial and qualified for the National meet.

Foster adds that the training for Nationals is a lot less strenuous, "We have been doing a lot of tapering and resting for the meet." Head Swimming Coach Skip Kenitzer feels that Foster is a key leader for the Willamette swim team. "Kirk is a quiet leader who is very focused and always tries to perform at his best," stated Kenitzer. "Kirk is the kind of athlete that has a big heart and someone who you want in the race if it is close." will have some pretty tough play players." ers." With the nice weather that has been around as of late, the team has been able to get outside and practice more. "We've been able to hit around quite a bit so that has been a bonus," McCarthy said. "With our practice and then the fact that we were finally able to play another match, I think we should be able to do well." The Willamette women's team has also been a little short in matches played. They have only played one match thus far, and that was against P.S.U. a week and a half ago. They play the University of Puget Sound tomorrow and West Western ern Washington on Sunday. meter backstroke. Altogether Foster is competing in all five relays in addition to the back backstroke stroke events.

"Nationals Sports 14 The Collegian February 24, 1995 V Women's Basketball Women take on Lewis & Clark for Northwest Conference title by Matt Kosderka Staff Writer The time of reckoning has arrived for Willamette's women's basketball team. The Bearcats, coming off of last Friday's victory at Pacific Lutheran, take on Lewis & Clark tonight at the Northwest Conference Tourna Tournament ment in Spokane, Wash.If the team loses tonight, it could mean the end of the season. Willamette, who moved up one spot in the national poll to No. 22, finished their regular season schedule with their victory over PLU. The Bearcats struggled through throughout out the first half, due to what Head Coach Paula Petrie felt was overconfidence. "You name it, and we did it," said Petrie of the Bearcats sluggish start. Despite their lack of execution in the first half, the Bearcats en entered tered half-time with a 36-32 lead. It was during the half-time break that Petrie was able to settle her team and help them to focus on playing a crisper second half. The team took her words to heart, going on a 19-1 run to start the second half. Willamette's quick second half start lead to a 86-58 victory and a Northwest Conference co-championship title, that they shared with Whitworth. The Bearcats finished with four players scoring in double figures. Junior center Saran Patillo had team highs in points and rebounds, with 18 and 13 respectively. Senior point guard Carolyn Leary had a tremendous all around game, scoring 15 points, grabbing five rebounds, and handing out seven assists. Junior guard Amy Ulrey continued to knock down 3-pointers, hitting five of them in scor ing 1 5 points. Sophomore Jenny Joseph added 13 points and seven rebounds. Despite the Bearcat's finish atop the North west Conference, they enter the confer conference ence tournament as the No. 2 seed, behind No. 1 seed, Whitworth. Whitworth was awarded the top seed along with home court advantage for the tourna tournament, ment, based on their two victories over Willamette during the regular season. In the past, the North Northwest west Conference's No. 2 seed has had their first round game on their home court, but recent changes have led to the tournament being held at only one site. The Northwest Confer- ence coaches decided at the end of the 1 992-93 season, that individual women's games were not drawing enough spectators. Therefore, they decided to form the con conference ference playoffs into a single tournament. The tournament will not only draw more as far as attendance, but it will also create a national championship atmosphere that will help the team or teams who advance to the actual national tournament. So, the Bearcats will make the trip to Spokane to take on Lewis & Clark for the third time this season. Willamette has won both of the earlier match ups by an average of 25.5 points. If the Bearcats are to defeat Lewis & e have to play 40 minutes of basketball. We haven't done that all year against Whitworth." Head Coach Paula Petrie that her team must shut down the inside game of Lewis & Clark posts Stacey Cottle and Debbie Mclnturff. Although she felt that beating a team three times in one season would be difficult, Petrie thought that her team has a great chance to knock of Lewis & """" Clark and move into the cnampionship game. "We certainly can go in there playing with confi confidence," dence," she said, "We match up really well." A win over Lewis & Clark tonight will set up a rematch with the win winner ner of No. 1 seed Whitworth and No. 4 seed Whitman. Petrie thought that Whitworth would handle Whitman and move on to the championship game, which, coupled with a Bearcat win over Lewis & Clark, would set up a showdown of co co-conference conference champions. If Whitworth can make it to the champi champions ons hip game, they will have the luxury of having to be beaten twice, because of their No. 1 seed. Although the Bearcats suffered both of their conference loses at the hands of Whitworth, Petrie though that her team's chances of winning the tournament were very good, even if it meant knocking off Whitworth twice. "We have to play 40 minutes of bas basketball," ketball," she said, "We haven't done that all year against Whitworth." Along with playing a complete game, the Clark for the third straight time, Petrie felt Bearcats must also find a way to shut down Whitworth' s senior guard Annette Sweeney, who was recently named the Northwest Con Conference ference player of the year. Whitworth also has one of the conference's best post players in sophomore center Sheri Northington. Even if the Bearcats are unable to come? away with the tournament championship, they still will have a good shot at receiving one of the 13 at-large bids to the national tournament, which will be held at Western Oregon on March 8-14. Petrie said that a win tonight would put the Bearcats in a greats position to receive an at-large bid, but the the-way way that Willamette has been treated in the national poll may force the Bearcats to have to beat Whitworth at least once, to be awarded with an at-large bid. Four Willamette players were named the All-Northwest Conference team. Patillo ancL Joseph both joined Sweeney on the first team" All-conference list. Junior Margaret Weber was chosen to the second team, while Leary received honorable mention honors. Despite averaging 9.8 points, three rebounds, 1.6 assists, and connecting on 34.3 percent of her 3-point attempts during the conference sea son, Ulrey was not selected to any of the All All-conference conference teams. "What happens is, good teams will get penalize," said Petrie of Ulrey ' s omission. Because the national tournament bid will be decided on the court, there is no way that they can be penalized, as long as they per-i' form the basic fundamentals. "Defense and rebounding will win us the tournament," said Petrie. After all, the Bearcats have gotten used to winning this season and for no reason do they want to stop now. V Men's Basketball Men pull 70-64 victory over Whitworth, look to settle longstanding rivalry against Lewis & Clark Saturday . by Jennifer Miller Editor With their backs against the wall, Willamette's men's basket basketball ball team, facing elimination from the Northwest Conference Playoffs, used their experience to out last Whitworth College Wednesday night.

Shots that have fallen all year for the Bearcats, were suddenly draw drawing ing only rim, as they struggled to get in sync. Despite the dominating performance of Whitworth' s All All-Northwest Northwest Conference center Kevin Wright, the Bearcats ended the first half with a slim 37-34 lead. It was hard to tell that the Bearcats had home court advan advantage tage during the first half, when the absence of Cheerleader John Rodgcrs lead a Willamette crowd that was anything but it's usual rambunctious self. Rodger's was able to make it to the game for the second half, doing his part in turning the crowd into a controlled frenzy. At the same time, Willamette's defense was a frenzy of it's own, consistently coming up with loose balls, and making Wright a non-factor. "I think the key was keeping him off of the free throw line," said junior forward Cavan Scanlan of Wright's non existence in the sec second ond half. Most of Wright's 18 points and eight rebounds came in the first half. Whitworth guard Roman Wick Wickers ers did his best to pickup the slack for his team scoring most of his team high 19 points in second half. Despite a per personal sonal challenge from Rodgers and the rest of the Willamette crowd, Wickers repeatedly knocked down jumpers, some- times with two men in his face. That is when Willamette's own All-Northwest Conference per performer, former, senior guard Dave Snyder, decide to pick up his team at the offensive end. Snyder drained 3 3-pointers pointers falling to his right and left, as the Bearcats matched baskets with Whitworth for the entire sec second ond half.

Senior forward Jason Thompson's short jump shot with only 1:24 remaining in the game, gave the Bearcats a 65-63 lead, one that they would not relinquish. Willamette extended their lead to 68-64 on single free throws from Adelman and sophomore guard Mike Hayter. Wicker's desperation 3-point attempt then clanged of the front of the rim and fell into Adelman's hands. He threw an outlet pass to a wide-open Snyder, who threw down a monster two hand dunk to put an exclamation on the Bearcat's 70-64 victory. "We were pretty crusty through the first three quarters of the game," said Scanlan, "In the end we man managed aged to suck it up and pull one out." The final dunk was a fitting end for Snyder, who dropped in a team high 27 points, including five 3 3-pointers. pointers. Thompson, Adelman, and Scanlan all finished with ten points for the Bearcats. Willamette, ranked No. 20 in the last national poll, will now have to take on rival Lewis & Clark for the third time this season.

Willamette's (1-0) men started off the season on a postitive note after dealys due to weather with a 4-1 win over Portland State Uni University versity (0-4). The game, originally schedualed for Sunday, was moved to Monday after snow and rain from the previous week had caused the field conditions to be unplayable. Senior pitcher Geoff Huetton started for the Bearcats, before be being ing replaced by sophomore Abe Cohen. Cohen got the win, before he was relieved by junior Tony Malteson. There were no hits for either team through the first three and a half innings. Along with a zero in the combined hit column, there was no score until PSU came to bat in the bottom of the sixth inning. PSU's first run came when a throwing error by sophomore catcher Jason Kelly allowed a PSU runner to score from thrid base. . Willamette immediately fought back, as senior right fielder Mitch Pang led off the top of the seventh with a triple. Pang was then hit home by senior left fielder Mick Glaze's line drive single. The Bearcats started their win winning ning rally in the top of the eighth, when senior first baseman Neil Fcrra drew a two out walk. Junior second baseman Joe Belcher's triple down the right field line scored pinch runner Chad Westwood, giving Willamette the lead fro good. Pang continued the rally, with a a two out double, scoring Belcher from third. Senior center fielder Kelly Evans then lined a single past the second baseman, scoring Pang in from second base. "I think our pitching was fairly consistent," said Huetten. "Our strong point on Monday was hitting and espe especially cially clutch hits when we really needed them.

Huetten and Cohen are schedualed to be the starting pitchers. George Fox's fields have not been ready to play on as of yet, so there is a chance that the games could be played on the Bearcat's home field.

(Campus Safety) was upset that I was handing out wrist bands to members before nine o'clock, but that's how we've run the parties all year long," said Kappa Sigma House Director Scott Jones. After calling Dean of Residence Life Rich Shintaku at home, Safety Officers Stacy Jepson, Kenneth Diehm and Randy Sass told Jones that they were going to conduct a room-to-room search of the house and evacuate the premises. Jepson declined to comment on the details of the incident, saying that it was a security issue and that it should be kept private. "This is a disciplinary action, and that is privi privileged leged information," she said. Shintaku was in meetings all day Thursday and could not be reached for comment. Accompanied by Jones, the of officers ficers used a set of master keys to open the locked dorm rooms in the house and forced members who were in their rooms and not participating in the pre-function activities to wait on the lawn in front of the house. "I was getting ready for the DG House dance," said Junior Benji Scurlock. "I was putting on a suit, and this lady came in and told me I had to leave." Scurlock had to put on his tie on the front lawn of the house. "Even if there was no answer (when the safety officers knocked), they keyed into some of the rooms with no one in them, and left some of them unlocked," said Kappa Sigma Vice-president Jon Morris, who ac accompanied companied the safety officers. Jones said that he felt that the room to room search was "a little excessive. "It yielded a whole five mem members, bers, all of whom had wristbands," said Jones, adding that he was never quite sure what the officers were looking for. They had told both he and Morris that they wanted "to do a fire check" of the building, but also insisted that everyone leave so that they could re-admit the revelers un under der the supervision of the security guards. "I asked (Jepson) what her prob probable able cause was for entering each and every room, and I got about five blundered answers. She never was clear," said Morris. Jepson told Jones that the pre pre-function function was in violation of resi residence dence life policy, since the forms that Jones had filled out for the party indicated that the doors would open at nine o'clock. "Basically, what-?, came down to is that now we need to register pre-functions as well as the regular parties. I wasn't aware of this until she told me." Afterward the fire check, the safety officers told Jones that he had to relocate the hired security guards1, who are required by university policy to be present at any function where alcohol is served.
