Attendance at the forum varied, with as many as 100 people present for the president and vice-presidential speeches, a number which slowly decreased as the forum contin continued. ued. Heather Dahl, ASWU President, intro introduced duced the candidates for president with a description of what duties she has been re responsible sponsible for this year, followed by an intro introduction duction of candidate Willie Smith. Smith's speech focused on the experi experience ence which he could bring to the office of president, through his in volvement in AS WU Senate, as ASWU Vice President, and his role in the musical "The Pajama Game." Smith categorized his experience into two primary areas: working with administrators and working with students. "It takes compromise to work with an administrator, every administrator is differ different," ent," said Smith, noting that some adminis administrators trators need to be "brown-nosed," and there are some who respond favorably when given gifts of candy. Smith said he gets to understand student concerns by "doing rounds" in which he circulates on campus and in Goudy to intro introduce duce himself and meet new students. Smith also mentioned policy concerns he would address as president, including the alcohol policy, and the formation of an ex executive ecutive cabinet, which "will work, trust me," said Smith. Presidential candidate D'mitri Palmateer was the next candidate to speak. Palmateer focused on his responsiveness to student con concerns cerns and his refusal to back down on impor important tant issues in his speech. "I'm tired of people not willing to stand up to the administration if it means losing a letter of recommendation," said Palmateer, who claimed that as president he will not back down on key issues. Palmateer articu articulated lated his directness in presenting the student petition to regulate tuition supported by the Willamette Student Lobby to President Hudson as an example of his willingness to "go to bat" for student concerns. Palmateer also discussed the specific is issues sues he would work on as president, includ including ing expanding the size of the Health Center as well as the services offered. Another issue he discussed at length was his opposition to the idea of eliminating alcohol from on-campus parties, maintaining that the campus is the safest place to experiment with alcohol. Palmateer also outlined plans to work with the Inter-Fraternity Council (IFC) and the Greek system as president, and to preserve their important role on campus. Dahl presented the candidates for Vice President of ASWU by detailing the job, which she described as being "in charge of activities; activities, activities, activities." Other responsibilities include taking over for the president in his or her absence and direct directing ing the Educational Programs Committee. ir u fT ITU LOJ ir ir'U Ft MwSw ft Cm Last year's race for ASWU president was decided by a difference of 1 3 ballots.

Andrea Ledford, the first candidate to speak, began her speech by reading from the Dr. Seuss book Oh the Places You'll Go, which she tied in to herplan to "work with my heart as well as with my head" if elected. Ledford described her desire to create a truly representative programming board which would include students from every aspect of the student body. Ledford also expressed a desire to work towards integrating community service into ASWU. Activities which would accomplish this include the Adopt A Highway program and bringing underprivileged children to see on-campus plays and sporting events. Vice-presidential candidate Tiffany Derville was the next to speak. Derville fo focused cused on her experiences both within and outside of ASWU, all of which gave her a perspective on ASWU's programming and its relationship with the student body.

Spencer started as Kaneko's new Resident Director on March 27. She was hired to replace Kelly Harrington, who left the position before Spring Break for personal reasons. Spencer isn't new to the job of Resident Director. She was an RD last yearatDoney and Lausanne. Her former experience has helped her to jump right into life at Kaneko. So far, says Shaun Bailey, a Resident Assistant at Kaneko, "She's made it look pretty easy." Marty White, Director of Student Affairs at TIUA, is confident in Spencer's ability because of her expe experience rience as an RD. "Aidra knows the system and she knows what it's like working for Willamette," she said. The fact that Spencer hasn ' t had the time to train with the RAs at Kaneko as most RDs do doesn't bother White at all. "The two RAs already know her and have worked in training sessions Please see RD on page 16 Lottery to decide 'housing options Students protest marijuana bill by Charlotte Jones Staff Writer With the way the Willamette residence lottery has begun to weigh on many students' minds it would seem that the big jackpot is more than just a bed. According to Cheryl Todd, As Assistant sistant Directorof Operations, there are some myths, mostly among freshmen, about the lottery which is used to assign rooms for next year. "The first year students think that the lottery means that either they cetabed or they don't," she said. In .ality, every student who partici participates pates in the lottery is assured a place to live next year, though it may not be the place they want. Room selection is a three part process, of which the lottery is one "art. In the first stage, fraternity and aorority members sign up for rooms within their house. This has already begun and will continue until April 1 1. Beginning April 12, students in residence halls who would like to remain in their hall next year sign up for rooms within the hall. The room selection lottery constitutes the third stage of the process. Any Anyone one who would like to move to a different residence hall, a single room or an apartment must partici participate pate in the lottery. Those residents who wish to participate in the lottery are invited to go to the Residence Life Office on April 17, 18, or 19 to draw a number and pick up a housing reg registration istration packet. Each number drawn will correspond to a time between 4 to 4:30 p.m. for graduate students and 5:30-9 p.m. for undergraduate and TIUA students during the lot lottery tery on April 19. Student participat participating ing in the lottery will go to the Office of Residence Life at their time to choose the hall and room they want for next year. Off-campus students will be given the opportunity to move back on campus and participate in the lottery this year. They will go through the process according to their class standing, whereas in past Please see ROOMS on page 16 H.B. 3250 would enact severe penalties for possession of less than one ounce. by Mark Furman Contributor Willamette students gathered in Jackson Plaza Thursday morning to share information and rally in oppo opposition sition to legislation proposed by State Representative Jerry Grisham which would strengthen Oregon's current penalties for the possession of mari marijuana. juana. Organizers senior Cheron McGuffey, senior Aaron Harmon, junior Tara Heintz, and senior Kaigh Smiley encouraged those in atten attendance dance to contact their state represen representatives tatives and voice their opposition to House Bills 3250 and 3251, cur currently rently under consideration by the House Judiciary Committee. "We think there is a lot of culpa culpability bility in the general Willamette pub public, lic, that people don't really know that the government actually docs lie to us and that the government actually does present us misinfor misinformation mation and then from this misinfor misinformation mation they actually do make laws." commented Heintz. "A lot of people at Willamette, whether they'll admit it or not, will be affected by these laws." Speakers at Thursday's meeting condemned not only the proposed legislation but the use of fear tactics, racism, and welfare myths in the testimony of proponents of the bills. McGuffey claimed that a represen representative tative from the D.A.R.E. program had offered legislators a new defini definition tion of Mother's Day in Oregon as the day welfare mothers receive their checks and subsequently seek out a drug dealer. These fear tactics are anti-educational," said McGuffey. "All they do is perpetuate myths, and myths are not what are going to solve Oregon's problems." HB 3250 provides that posses possession sion of less than one ounce of mari juana becomes a Class B misde misdemeanor meanor punishable by fines of one hundred dollars per gram, with a $500 minimum, andor six months imprisonment. HB 3251 addition additionally ally provides for possession within 1,000 feet of a school to be punish punishable able as a Class A misdemeanor, car carrying rying a maximum $5,000 fine and or one year imprisonment. Organizers of Thursday's rally pointed out that the latter would be the fate of students found in posses possession sion of less than one ounce of mari marijuana juana on the Willamette campus. They further noted that if the 2200 people cited for similar offenses in Oregon last year were tried and con convicted victed under these new statutes, it would cost Oregon tux payers more than $16 million in prison costs alone.

Coleman AP Medical Writer Nonsmokers arc much more sus susceptible ceptible to heart damage from sec secondhand ondhand smoke than arc smokers, because their bodies haven't built up defenses against the onslaught of tobacco poisons, researchers say. "The cardiovascular system adapts to insults," said Stanton A. Glantz, a professor of medicine at the University of California at San Francisco and an antismoking ac activist. tivist. The conclusion is not new but was drawn from the most complete review to date of studies on how secondhand smoke affects the heart and blood vessels. It also heightens the debate over secondhand smoke, indicating that even small amounts can endanger nonsmokers. The tobacco industry claims that the link between sec secondhand ondhand smoke and heart disease is unproven and that, in any case, non non-smokers smokers breathe in very little ciga cigarette rette smoke. "Smokers are chronically poi poisoning soning themselves with cigarette smoke. ... The smoker's cardiovas cardiovascular cular system has done what it can to adapt - adding a little more doesn't make much difference," said Glantz. Glantz and Dr. William W. Bipartisanship working well in EJArkansas senator says Democrats and Republicans are working together. by Peggy Jeffries State Senator In Arkansas, the last one-party state, bipartisanship has worked well in the Senate this session. Since Reconstruction, senior Democrats have ruled state govern government. ment. This year, seven Republicans, including five freshmen, serve in the 35-membcr Senate. It is the largest number of Republicans ever in the Senate. Some senators in both par parties ties arrived with apprehension about the effect this changing balance would have. It appears to have been a pleas pleasant ant surprise for most. Numerous examples of bipartisanship come to mind.

I!ov;s iron qrcunlJh&im Vv& Hi Americans watch, read less news WASHINGTON, D.C. - Only 45 percent of American adults have read a newspaper in the past day and 61 percent watched a televi television sion news program, according to a poll released Wednesday. Parmley, chief of cardiology at UCSF, pulled together data from more than 80previous studies. Their review is published in Wednesday's issue of The Journal of the Ameri American can Medical Association. About 47,000 people a year die from heart disease caused by sec secondhand ondhand smoke, and 1 50,000 others suffer nonfatal heart attacks, accord according ing to an analysis prepared last year for the Occupational Safety and Health Administration. An estimated 3,000 people die of lung cancer an annually nually because of secondhand smoke, OSHA said. Though nonsmokers in smoky surroundings may breathe only 1 percent as much smoke as people who puff on cigarettes, their elevated risk of heart disease is much greater than 1 percent of smokers' added risk, Glantz said. "If you smoke, it about doubles or maybe triples your risk of heart disease. A doubling of risk is a 100 percent increase. If you're a passive smoker, then your risk of heart dis disease ease goes up about 30 percent," he said. "The tobacco companies are claiming that levels of secondhand smoke in workplaces are very, very low, that you have to sit at a smoky bar for a thousand years to inhale the equivalent of one cigarette," Glantz Another confided that he had been discussing the new members around the coffee pot. In the conversation they had welcomed the new influx and ex expected pected us to ask the "hard questions" they had expected to ask as fresh freshmen men but had failed to, owing to their one-party relationships. It appears that representing a second party makes it acceptable to ask the tough questions. In the pre-session organizational meetings, some incumbent Demo Democrats crats worked with freshmen to "open up" the rules allowing for the first crack in the traditional seniority sys system. tem. Even with term limits and a growing second party, many find it hard to recognize the inevitable ne necessity cessity for change.

And now, said center director Andrew Kohut, "Along comes O.J. and really mucks it up." said. "This paper shows that trying to equate passive smoking with ac active tive smoking is just meaningless."

He called Glantz "per "perhaps haps the leading anti-tobacco politi political cal activist in the United States." The researchers said secondhand smoke reduces the oxygen-carrying ability of blood and the heart's abil ability ity to use the oxygen it receives, forcing the heart to pump harder and making exercise more exhausting. Also, secondhand smoke acti activates vates blood cells called platelets, promoting clots that can cause heart attacks. In addition, activated plate platelets lets can damage the lining of arteries and speed the development of fatty deposits - a major component of heart disease, studies have shown. Aside from that, compounds in secondhand smoke latch onto so so-called called "bad" cholesterol and help it bind to artery walls, where it further contributes to fatty deposits, studies show.

My reply is, I hope I don't get over it, but if I'm tempted, hope hopefully, fully, term limits will cure part of this problem.

Vice-presidential candidate Kari Raze was the liext to address the forum. Raze dis- tinguished herself from other candidates by crediting herself with the "ability to follow through" on important issues, which she said has given her the support of Several of the individual Program Programming ming Board members with which she has worked in the past. "Since three of the candidates have had experience on Program Programming ming Board, the fact that the Pro Programming gramming Board has taken a stand, and there are people who have re remained mained neutral, is very flattering," said Raze. Raze focused on ideas for fu future ture activities, including an ASWU spon sponsored sored weekend trip, as well as in integrating tegrating other organizations on campus with ASWU spon sponsored sored activities. The final vice-presidential candidate to speak was Gar Willoughby. Willoughby focused on his integrity and dedication, as well as ideas to improve game attendance and inte integrate grate public service, as qualifica qualifications tions for the office of vice president. It takes compromise to work with an administrator, every administrator is different," -Willie Smith, Presidential candidate Willoughby said that he would like to inform the students about varsity games in order to improve attendance and school spirit, rather than leaving that responsibility up to the Athletic Department.

The new Senator would have the same expec expectation tation not to miss more than three times; if the second senator also missed three times, he or she would be removed from Senate and the seat would be eliminated for the semes semester. ter. Secretary candidate Thea Wilmarth was the next to present her proposals and ideas. Wilmarth also addressed the issue of publicizing ASWU issues and events in addition to outlining her plans for efficient management of the ASWU and SOC offices. Wilmarth would inform students of ASWU events through a monthly letter which she would send to all students. The purpose of the letter would be to "cut down on inaccurate information." Wilmarth would also strengthen the link between ASWU and students by putting suggestion boxes in each residence hall. As ASWU office manager, Wilmarth said she would hire "a di diverse verse and responsive staff team that will work well together" for the ASWU office staff. Wilmarth would also guarantee that any student ap approaching proaching the ASWU office would receive an answer in at least twenty twenty-four four hours. Wilmarth also said that she would reorganize the Student Organization Center (SOC), in order to make it a neat and organized environment for student organizations. The candidates for ASWU trea treasurer surer concluded the evening by pre presenting senting their speeches and answer answering ing questions. Loren Myers was the first candidate to speak. Myers pre presented sented his ideas to improve commu communication nication between organizations and finance board as well as inform stu students dents about ASWU spending. "(Students) need to know where their money is being spent," said Myers, outlining his proposal to post the ASWU budget in the various eating facilities, as well as posting Finance Board meeting minutes. Myers goal is to be more acces accessible sible to the student body, and to do this, Myers said that he would1 in increase crease office hours and send a copy of his office hours to organizations requesting funding. Myers has also talked with representatives from the 52 clubs and organizations at Willa Willamette. mette. Scott Dilworth was the next to speak at the forum. Dilworth said that he brings experience to the posi position tion of treasurer, as well as being in touch with students from a variety of different backgrounds. Dilworth said that he would work at reforming the Finance Board funding criteria. "Funding criteria is meant to be fair... but the Finance Board has been too rigid," said Dilworth. Dilworth would make the funding criteria less strict and more flexible. Annette Wooten, the final candi candidate date for treasurer to speak, said that she would bring common sense and responsibility to the position. "Corners must be cut," said Wooten, adding that there is a lim limited ited amount of funds available for student organization. Wooten also said that clubs should not be made to feel that they must prove their worthiness to re receive ceive funding. Finally, Wooten would change the rules governing the allocation of funds. Editorial 4 The Collegian April 7, 1995 Campaigning involves more than stickers, slogans Sadly, the AS WU elections for the secretary, treasurer and vice-president positions have been lacking real de debate bate over the issues this year. Most candidates seem to think that a catchy slogan, or simply asking nicely, will guarantee victory. This contrasts sharply with the presi presidential dential race between Juniors Willie Smith and D'mitri Palmateer, which has been issue-oriented from the start. We at the Collegian have tried to do our part to see that all of the campaigns become more focused on the issues. On the next few pages, students can see beyond the slogans and rhetoric to ascertain exactly where the candi candidates dates stand. The words printed here are direct quotes taken from interviews with the candidates held last Wednesday. We hope that their answers confront the issues that are most important to students. In addition, the Collegian Editorial Board has decided to endorse candidates for this year's ASWU elections. Our choices are denoted with a check mark next to the name of the candidate we endorse. Our decision to do this for the second straight year was made for several reasons. Beyond merely reporting relevant events, every newspa newspaper per has the obligation to provide an informed and even even-handed handed analysis. If an editorial board shirks its duties by not taking a stand, how can individuals be expected to be anything but apathetic, making ill-advised decisions based on infor information mation selectively provided by the candidates? Unlike the average voter, the Collegian has the advan advantage tage of having been able to meet the candidates one on one with our concerns and questions as fellow students and voters. The people we endorse are the candidates we feel have the strongest grasp of the issues which are important to the Willamette community, and the ability to translate their ideas into policy. When deciding upon which candidates to endorse, we judged based on experience, vision, and philosophy be behind hind the responsibilities of student government. It was not our intention when conducting interviews to find which candidates met a specific profile of positions and atti attitudes, tudes, but rather to seek out competent and visionary people who could respond to student concerns. There Therefore, fore, in order to endorse a candidate, he or she had to have support from 75 percent or more of the Editorial Board. We did not reach this in the vice-presidential race. We are not endorsing candidates with hopes of sway swaying ing the elections in any way, nor are we under the illusion that we can make or break a campaign. Instead, we hope to add an independent voice to the substance of the debate that is already happening around campus. Ultimately, it is up to the voters to decide who is best qualified and will best serve their interests. And, by exploring all the facets of an issue, an individual can begin to make responsible decisions.We only hope that by providing the candidates an opportunity to address the issues, voters will then send the right message at the ballot box - that issues are what matter. Send that message. Please. Josh Norman sophomore 71? i4 Thea Wilmarth junior i. ,1 ; . ? t . '&' f Scott Dilworth sophomore Loren Myers freshman Annette Wooten freshman .j V'.'. As ASWU secretary, how will you fill the committee positions? I want to consolidate a couple committees that serve the same in interest. terest. I think we have too many committees out there. My main idea to fill the committee boards and positions is to have an ASWU news group on e-mail. That would be a great way to communicate with the campus at large. Another idea was at the beginning of next year to send out a list of all the boards and com committees mittees with an application attached to every student. What changes, if any, will you make to the way that the ASWU office is run? i First, I don't want to act nega negative, tive, but I think sometimes the of office fice staff aren't totally informed on the issues and they have to ask oth others ers about what isgoingon. Somaybe a little more of communicating with my office staff and making sui? they know what's going on. So, just helping me with my stuff so I don't necessarily need an assistant, but I can use my office staff to help mc do the leg work. I think there needs to be an in information formation sheet about what each committee will do. When I went into Academic Council I didn't re really ally know about all the different committees because they had a big list of them, but not specifically what you would be doing on this committee. Then I'd like to visit each hall council and recruit through senators. Just personally recruiting, because I think the best way is to talk to people one on one. The main thing I would like to do is revamp the SOC completely. A lot of students don't know that it's up here. The SOC, with the new renovation, is going to be locate right by the AS WU office so I woula like to see the main ASWU desk be the place where students can come find out about ASWU or student groups. What changes, if any, will you make to the funding process? This year the Finance Board has tried to follow strictly with the cri criteria. teria. If we just went by the criteria, there would be no reason for a Fi Finance nance Board. But, we're dealing with people; we're dealing with dif different ferent clubs, and the Finance Board is there to look at what the clubs are trying to do and try to meet their needs in the best way possible. What changes, if any, will you make in the way that club sports are supported by ASWU funds? The way I see it, in the past what the Finance Board has done is try to separate clubs and sports and ev everything. erything. The way I see it is that clubs and sports shouldn't be sepa' rated. They should all be viewed on one level, and the purpose of the Finance Board is to try to allocate those funds the best way possible. -9) One of the big changes that I want to look into making is that people do not receive funding until a quarter of the way through the first semester. I would like to revise the funding process, so that when people request money from ASWU they would not only request funds for the fall and spring semester but also for the first month of the (school) year. Willamette should support the best interest of the student body. As it's seen many people participate in club sports. Every club has a differ different ent thing that they need, and I, as treasurer, would cater to their needs and have a set of guidelines that would be concrete but would be flexible so that these clubs and or organizations ganizations can receive the kind of funding that they individually need. I would like to to make a grid kind of style for allocation and sepa separate rate the clubs by nature. There would be clubs with a social focus, clubs with a cultural focus, and ones that are more oriented towards recre recreation, ation, travel, and things like that, athletics also. Lay them out and see what the clubs are focused on; what can we do to make sure that their focus is best represented through their funding. If this club needs to travel to get their work done, then that's what we're going to fund. I think that there is a problem between the administration and the athletic part and wanting to support studentclubs. I thinkpartof it is that student clubs do have to prove them themselves. selves. They can't just say, "here we are; we exist; we need money." I think there has to be a new connec connection tion made with the athletic depart department ment and make them give some of the money we pay through tuition, back to the students.

' J J ; ' i. ' 1 1 :' if ' i Andrea Ledford : sophomore 1 J " t Kari Raze sophomore Gar Willoughby freshman t f How w7 you include off-campus and non-traditional students in the programming that you will organize? I'd like to have an off-campus represen representative tative on Programming Board. I think it is very important to have diverse Programming Board members and one of which should be an off-campus member. I will go around and talk to off-campus members to find out what they want to see instead of thinking about what I think would be good for them. I think it's much more useful and more important to actually go out and ask them what they want. How do you want your $90 from ASWU to be spent? I have brainstormed over 50 ideas. I want to have things like Karaoke at Midnight Break Breakfast. fast. I'd like to have virtual reality, self self-defense defense classes and a hypnotist. I want to have activities at basketball half-times. An Another other main thing, aside from being diverse, is utilizing student talent. It is very important that we use our own resources. This is a very new idea that I would like to bring to activi activities. ties. A lot of times I have seen in the past we have hired an expensive performer to do an event which we can do ourselves. I think also by utilizing student talent, we will bring more people into activities. This will pull a bigger group to ASWU activities and that is what I am emphasizing - something for everyone. As of now, I'm the only candidate who has presented the most ideas. I want to use Willamette student talent, which is a differ different ent idea. Also I have an angle on ASWU activities that is from the outside and on the inside. What I mean by that, is that last year I was intensively involved in ASWU from the moment I stepped on campus. Because of that I learned how to do things such as how to save money, how to negotiate with agents, basi basically cally how to work the system. Then this year I did Programming Board a little bit and I decided I wanted to get involved in some other things. I not only became more well-rounded, but I also got to see activities from an outside angle. By seeing that, I found that there really needs to be more publicity for these kinds of activities. I also learned about what is miss missing. ing. For example, I heard a lot of people saying they wanted to hear more bands this year. A lot of people said they wanted to see Bistro Nights and these are concerns I got from being an outsider. So, I can bring in both perspectives and take advantage of knowing both sides and how to integrate them. I've talked to Willie about it, and actually he's got a TIUA student which was one that I really wanted. Non-traditional and off-campus students are often voices that are not heard because they aren't in the norm with all of us, our age group or whatever andor living on campus. So I think that if we could have a representative, maybe two representatives from off-campus and non-traditionals then we can get their ideas out there and maybe have them go back to their constituents and make sure that we are planning activities that will include them. Because I want to make sure that those people are included, because they've paid those fees and if they aren't being included, we aren't doing our job. I have lots of fun ones. I would like to have one of my focuses be community ser service. vice. I think our community outreach pro program gram does a wonderful job, but I think that ASWU should pitch in because I think that's a very important focus right now. I also would like to sponsor a part of the highway so we could have highway clean-up, which would be a good thing for our environment. Another thing I would like to do is have a "Carnival of the Cultures" and share our cultures. There are just little (activities) I'd like to do. I'd actually like to have a huge talent show. I think that if we can tap into our talent here at Willamette, whether it be speech and debate, singing, comedy, art, I think we could really have just a banger of a talent show. It just could be awesome if we gave them enough time to prepare and enough publicity. I think what distinguishes me from the other candidates is just that I have a lot of experience and that I've chaired big things. I' ve co-chaired the Black Tie event, which is one of the biggest budgets that we deal with and it's the biggest numbers that come. We had record people come this year and I think we did a fairly good job of reaching out to people with Black Tie. I'm very dedicated, very committed, and I believe that I have a new approach maybe to activities - to reach out to people, to be very dedicated in that pursuit. I know a lot of candidates like to say, "Well we want to make sure everyone is involved." I want to make a firm commitment that every voice is going to be heard out there, because that's what it's all about. Box stuffers don't tend to work for off off-campus campus students because they generally get their mail at home. The best way I can see to do that is by advertising generally on the sandwich board by the UC steps because that's a fairly common area. A lot of it isn't going out to get those off-campus students, because I think a lot of times they're kind of off-campus to kind of be secluded from the whole dorm life kind of thing. So I think at times it needs to be there and visual and easy for them to see. But not make them feel like you have to go or you have to do this. Public Publicity, ity, but not like trying to rope them in. I think I want to do something like a big entertainer, but not something like the Den Dennis nis Miller fiasco. We didn't do a lot of bands this year and I would like to because I hear a cry for that. We did do two bowling nights this year and I would like to extend that. We did one roller skating night that was popular. I want to do maybe two of those. Maybe mini mini-golf, golf, maybe little theme trips. I want to do a big ASWU trip. We talked about doing some something thing like that this year but it didn't pan out because we didn't have enough time and man power to plan it. I want to do something like a "Stress Less Night," which would be an opportunity for students during heavy aca academic demic times or even just during the semester to just kind of hang out, chill, talk to people and do activities like Twister, play cards, you know something small like with refreshments; something small that they don't feel obli obligated gated to go to, but that would be a nice stress release. I think the thing that distinguishes me is my ability to follow through. If you look on paper I know three of the four candidates have very significant experience. It looks like people pretty much have the same resume. I think what sets me apart from the others is my ability to follow through. I don't ever flake out. I refuse to flake out. I believe in receiving help, but not pushing it off on someone else. I think my ability to follow through and my experience will certainly make me the one to do the best job. I'd be myself, I'd encourage them to attend things. I'd say, "Hi. How are you? Do you have any ideas?" One of the things I've done is I've tried to include the MAT stu students dents in this voting. Their boxes are over at MAT. I gave them a letter saying, "Please vote on April 10th and 11th. I'm Gar Willoughby and if you have any ideas I want to hear from you." That's how we can branch out and I'd be always listening and willing to get off-campus, non-traditional students involved. Some of the new events that I'd like to put on include a student homecoming, not just an alumni game, but a real student homecoming with a dance and homecoming queen and king. I've traveled to different colleges and I saw that and it looked very popular. I'd try to make it look professional, not high schoolish. Like the other programs, the dances I'd try to incorporate other groups. I think that commu community nity could be helped and enhanced by letting people know when sporting events are be because cause I didn't, except I work for the football team, but I don't know when baseball games are. I didn't know when basketball games are unless I heard by word of mouth or if some somebody body had that little booklet and I could look it up. I think ASWU could help out by posting on the UC building or putting fliers in differ different ent rooms and stuff. Personality, my originality. I think I've got a great personality. I'm friends with who whoever ever will have me and that was before this election. I try to reach out to all the students no matter what kind of personalities they have. If they like me for who I am, I'll like them for who they are. 4 April 7, 1995 6 JJje Collegian What is the relationship between ASWU and the Greek system? Do you feel senators and officers are out of touch with their constituency? What distinguishes you from the other candidates for this office? Opinion Dmitri Palmateer mnior Willie Smith junior ! Students address issues concerning elections, VLETTERS Write-in Presidential candidate's platform stated, supported Dear Editor: With the ASWU elections com coming ing up on the 10th and 11th, we feel there should be a third candidate on the ballot for ASWU President. For this reason, we recommend that vot voters ers write in Cirith Anderson for ASWU President. Since her freshman year, Cirith has been an advocate for Willa Willamette mette and represents the views of the entire student body wholeheartily. Her experience as a five semes semester ter senator, member of Election Board, and Opening Days leader, demonstrates her commitment to and passion for Willamette. This was evident when she received the award of ASWU senator of the Se Semester mester last fall. Cirith believes that the students do not have a strong enough voice in ASWU, or on campus. As ASWU President, she wants to revamp and to revitalize the com committee mittee system. Cirith supports an electronic bulletin board that is ac I wouldn't quite say adversarial, but I would say that traditionally they haven't worked together. I think that is evident by the fact that most of the Greeks on campus would admit to a general feeling of fear to the proposals that are out there right now in terms of everything from the state of Greek life on campus to the specific things, like parties on cam campus. pus. Whoever the president is next year is going to need to take a very pro-active stand with IFC and Panhellenic to make sure that the administration understands that ASWU, as a voice of the students, is willing to back up the measures that IFC and Panhellenic are advocat advocating. ing. I think it's essential for Panhellenic and IFC to elect a presi president dent who is willing to back them up. Right now there is no official connection. But if you look at the executive officers and Senate, they are almost 60 to 70 percent Greek. We represent everyone - Greek, non-Greek, it doesn't matter. But, for a while ASWU hasn't been re responding sponding to Greek issues as much as it needs to. ASWU at the same time has to try to balance the needs of the Greeks and the non-Greeks. ASWU does need to work more closely with the Greek system to help them achieve their goals, not to make decisions for them, but to help promote what they need. cessible to all students where cur current rent issues can be addressed. Ander Anderson son realizes that though many stu students' dents' desires change, they most often do not go to their senators. This bulletin board would allow students easier access to ASWU. She feels there are too many committees that are under-represented by students. Cirith believes that every committee dealing with student life should have a student voice that is not only heard, but respected. Cirith will also look at the effec effectiveness tiveness of Senate and is willing to change it if necessary. Once these changes occur, then problems consistent with campus views, such as safety, lighting, al alcohol cohol policy, housing, Greek Af Affairs, fairs, and tuition can accurately be presented to the Board of Trustees and she could effectively convey to the Board the students aspirations. Not only must a President con construct struct a good platform, he or she must also have the skills to follow through. Cirith' s honesty, approach approach-ability, ability, commitment, and stance on tough issues exemplifies the quali qualities ties desired in a President. For these reasons, we encour encourage age all students to write in Cirith Anderson for ASWU President. Amy Bernardi Christina Robertson Anmarie Eggert Tucker Jones Jens Verloop What issues will you bring to President Hudson's attention? Which issues do you feel must be dealt with at an administrative level? There are two main types of issues I would bring to his ear, the first one being whatever the stu students dents want me to bring to his ear. I think that is essential. What I've been hearing on the campaign trail is that one of the most important issues is that of Greek life on cam campus. pus. The other thing is an expansion of the Health Center. Another thing is that I'd like to see the administra administration tion take steps to making the book bookstore store more fair for the students. Talking with some of the people that helped draft a recycling pro proposal posal last summer, they felt as if the proposal was somewhere lost in the paper shuffle when it went to Jerry Hudson. So that is something maybe the President could pick out of the stack of papers. Next year is going to be a build building ing year at Willamette. We're hav having ing the Olin building built; the reno renovation vation from the UC is supposed to be done. We are going to have some major things being built on campus and we need to make sure students are comfortable. Alcohol issues is a very important one that the next ASWU president is going to have to work with immediately upon being elected. There's one more that is important that students need more input on, and that is the curriculum changes. There is some student in input put on that, but I think there has to be more. Bistro Nights' funding, importance questioned by ASWU Dear Editor: In these upcoming ASWU of officer ficer elections, candidates will be touting their experiences working for the Willamette community, and talking about issues they think are important. Willamette student vot voters ers might find the following infor information mation relevant to their evaluation of candidates running on the 'strength' of prior ASWU service. We also believe that it's about time that someone was upfront sic and honest with the student body about the status of ASWU "Bistro Night" programmi ng. Here is what we know about that. Last Spring, the newly elected future vice-president Willie Smith approached us, the future Bistro Managers, offering to involve us with Bistro Night programming, which had in the past been solely a function of the office of the Vice President. Willie explained that "Bistro Nights" weren't a personal interest to him, but as Vice Presi President dent he felt a commitment to their programming because lots of stu students dents enjoyed-them. Willie thought we would be more enthusiastic about doing the legwork for the program programming ming than he would, and imagined this would help the quality of ASWU Bistro Nights. With this understand understanding ing Bistro management took over Not only are they out of touch, but I think they are just indicative of the general overall feeling on cam campus pus of apathy towards student gov government. ernment. I think a lot of that stems from students not having any belief that ASWU can do anything for them in terms of improving their life on campus. Also something that should be included in that, is they don't expect any thing out of ASWU because it hasn't done anything. That's what I would like to change. I'd like to make ASWU account accountable able to the students for once, not only the officers, as well as getting the Senate in so that it's willing to work with the students to serve their needs. Some of them are. I don't think I am. One of the things I promised in the last campaign was to go around and visit halls and talk to people. I' ve done that. Some of the senators don't. And that's one of the things that is wrong with ASWU and needs to be changed. We need to have the communication flow flowing. ing. That's the only way student government works, is if student government reacts to what students want and at the same time student government needs to say, "This is what we have done. We've heard your concerns and this is what we are doing to fix it." That's what's broken with ASWU right now. We need to reestablish that communi communication cation and make people feel like ASWU and student government is working for them again. finding and scheduling acts, and also negotiating their fees. Willie would he sic sign the contracts if he approved. Early this fall, Bistro nights were going well. Student Tyler Smith's "Pacemaker" jazz band put on a terrific performance, and we were exited sic about the upcoming John Fahey show (which we'd arranged through John Doan at less than half his usual fee). But Willie had stopped returning our phone calls. A week before the Fahey he sic show, he told us that he was plan planning ning on re-allocating the money that senate had approved forBistro Night to a new program, the "Matthew's Basement Series". For three weeks, Willie had left us scheduling acts and confirming dates that he had no intention of going through with. He told us he'd decided that Bistro Nights weren't well enough at attended. tended. John Fahey's show, the last official Bistro Night, was attended by over 150 people, including six professors; ASWU screwed up his payment, not arriving with the check as they'd promised. Willie told us that if we wanted to continue Bistro Nights ourselves, we could ask the finance board for funding, like a club would. We thought we'd give it a try , and turned in that request for funds late this January. One month later, Kate Kenski called to tell us they'd lost our application. Two days later we turned in another. The Finance Board turned down that request, and This is a difficult question, be because cause when I decided to run, I knew( that I'd be running against a very good friend of mine, Willie. So when I made the decision to run and I spoke with him about it, I said I'd run a campaign in essentially a vacuum and say that what I'm go going ing to do is put out my platform and my skills and my beliefs out there and not make any comments about my opposition. Basically for the most part, the things that distin distinguish guish us I guess would be our styles. Our platforms are very similar. We may prioritize differently as to whaii we want to see out there, and we may have some different ways in which we do it, but basically the difference lies in our styles and how we go about doing it. i Experience. I think in this race what I've been saying around ev everywhere erywhere we go is that D'mitri and I don't differ on the issues at all. The only way we differ is by who has the experience, who knows how to work the system, who knows the administration and knows how to work the administration. Some like to be kissed up to, some have their own little challenge, you have to know those little things if you want to get things done. I've been work ing with the administration, all of them, with student concerns this year and the past two years. D'mitri has done some of that as well. But I think it's not as much. So, I think it's experience. candidates asked for a copy of the Bistro bud budget, get, questioning why ASWU funds should put music in the Bistro, if the Bistro was making a profit. Ironi Ironically, cally, they seemed to have forgot forgotten ten that it was an ASWU tradition which we were trying to preserve. V When the ill-conceived Matthew's Basement Series went belly up, Willie offered us back $1000. Bistro Nights this year have been successfull sic, but their support by ASWU has been ambiguious sic and erratic. Those students who are interested in a series of pro programming gramming that offers some depth to the ASWU menu of stand-up come comedians dians and late-run movies might chose sic to make it an issue in this election. D'mitre sic Palmateer has made Bistro Night support a part of his platform, but the issue relates more directly to the vice vice-presidential presidential race, whose candidates have not yet openly addressed it. Bistro Nights can be a lot of fun, . and a wonderful opportunity to showcase student talent if people want them to be. The UC renova renovation tion will give the Bistro a bigger stage, more seating, and more room for dancing. Those of you who saw the student group Permagrin last K, Friday night know that the Bistro can be a pretty swingin' place. Oh, ASWU screwed up their check too. The Bistro Managers Gina Duvoisen, Kelly Rudd and Andrea Reese Campus Events 7 April 7, 1995 The Collegian Campus buildings request safer locks N e w s fY' B r i e .f sM by Derek Hevel Contributor How fast can you break into a residence hall? "In under six min minutes," utes," said Willamette faculty mem member ber Bruce Arnold. In fact, two years ago Arnold gained access to all three sorority houses by decod decoding ing the punch locks in under six minutes. These punch lock systems on ne sororities and WISH houses consist of five-buttons and a five digit code for residents to use upon entering the building. In decades past, these were more convenient than keys, but recently both keys nd punch locks have become ob obsolete solete compared to the newer card lock systems now on most build buildings. ings. Recently there have been ef efforts forts to evaluate the use of keys and punch locks and to completely con convert vert the campus to card locks, which .-jrove more safe and convenient for the campus. Sometimes the use of keys can present a safety risk. Keys give access to residents in only one build building ing so that students without keys to York or Lee Halls or Haseldorf iipartments must wait for either Campus Safety or a resident of those halls to let them in. This presents a considerable safety risk to all stu students dents who need access to a building but have none. When enough keys are lost, locks must be changed, ""disrupting all the residents in the hall and those involved in distribut distributing ing keys, not to mention the crew to change the locks. However, although keys may be unsafe for some, they allow access to any door of a hall. The punch locks may be both inconvenientaiJunsafe. With only 1 20 differentpossible combinations, each lock can be decoded in a mat matter ter of minutes, as illustrated by Arnold. They may be convenient TASWU Senate Report H After seeing ASWU get in involved volved with the recent lobby efforts on behalf of funds for students at private institutions, and attempting to make student life at Willamette more enjoyable, I feel that some something thing must be done. The ASWU Senate is out of line. Actually ac accomplishing complishing useful tasks does not fall into the job description of an ASWU Senator. I charge you; ask your senator what he has done this week. If he says that he has done something useful then you must immediately call a meeting of the hall council and investigate this for the resi residents dents of the sororities and WISH who do not have to carry key sor cards, but again stu students dents living in other buildings have no way to gain en entrance. trance. Card locks are more conve convenient nient because they allow access to stu students dents and faculty at dif different ferent times. Because each student's code is on record, Cam Campus pus Safety is able to grant access to a student for one week and deny him or her ac access cess the next week. This especially helps with pledge members in the Greek system who live in their re respective spective houses for only a week during the initiation period. If an ID card is lost, Campus Safety can immediately cut off access to that card and give the student another card. Also, a campus with a com complete plete card lock system allows all students to get into a building im immediately mediately unless it is after dark. Unfortunately, so many build buildings ings are requesting either their first card lock system or additional card locks that Residence Life funding is unavailable. Cheryl Todd from Residence Life commented on the financial situation surrounding card locks. "Residence Life is budgeted - .. - ... , ! - - - ( Punch locks used on the doors of the sorroities and WISH house have codes whicn can be broken in minutes. five thousand dollars per year for new card locks. So many places on campus need new card locks, though, that this money doesn't do it." The problem is that card locks are expensive. Five thousand dol dollars lars will buy only two adjoining card locks, which severly slows the conversion. At the present rate, it would take 1 3 years to install enough card locks for two on each resi residence dence hall. An effort has been made to in increase crease the budget for card locks for residence halls in order to increase the safety and efficiency on cam campus. pus. Extra funding for card locks has been requested in the 1995-96 budget, which comes out in May. Currently, York and Lee Halls are first in line to receive locks. person for a violation of Senate ethics. If, however, they have actu actually ally done nothing of purpose, aside from speaking mindlessly and submitting legislation that doesn'tdo a thing, give them a pat on the back and congratulate them for a job well done. The offenders this evening were Matt Hindman, Martin Doern, Michael Corella, Laila Cook, and the ASWU Safety Board. Matt, I'm sure in a state of insanity, submitted a piece of legislation that made it illegal to campaign during class time. This was amended to take effect next year and not this year; however, that does not remove the blame from him that this was useful legislation that will help increase your education and make campaigns less annoying. Michael, Martin, and Laila then proceeded to get a resolution passed that asks the ad administration ministration to place card-locks on all doors or to let the students keep their keys until such a time as that card-locks can be placed on all doors. I don't know about you, but this appears to directly affect me and brings benefit to my life at Willamette. On a more serious note, the Sen Senate ate also voted not to reject the Col Collegian legian Board's recommendation to hire Ryan Beckwith as the new Editor. That is, Erik Holm, current editor of the Collegian, made a motion to reject this proposal. Af After ter some questioning and debating, the Senate came back with a unani unanimous mous decision actually accepting Ryan and going against the motion that was made by Erik. oaieiY Twateii CAMPUS SAFETY Trespass Warning March 25, 9:10 p.m. (Waller Hail)- Officers contacted a former student who had been suspended from the University and gave him a trespass warning.

The organizations operating the blood drive encourage all Willamette students, undergraduates and law students, to participate in giving blood. Sign-up times for giving blood will start next week. Students will be able to donate blood if they have not given after February 14. Last fall the Willamette community donated 118 pints of blood (1 person 1 pint). This year, the goal for the Willamette community is to have at least 140 people donate blood. If there are any concerns or questions about the possibility of donating blood, please contact Christina Robertson (Pan Hellenic), Grant Stockton (IFC), Gar Willoughby (ASWU), or Lauren Kurilchik (PAD) for more information.

Zhao is an intellectual and cul cultural tural historian specializing in 16th and 17th century Chinese history. Zhao's dissertation reviews her re research search into the life and thought of Chou Ju-teng, a Confucian philoso philosopher pher from that period. Next fall, Zhao will teach the first half of a two part survey course on East Asian History, which she will conclude in the spring. Zhao will be responsible for developing a coher coherent ent East Asian program, which will include introductory survey classes. Zhao will also develop mid-level courses in traditional and modern China which will complement classes taught by Japa nese protessor Ronald Loftus on traditional and modern Japan. Zhao will also pre prepare pare upper divi division sion and senior tu tutorial torial classes on specialized topics. Next fall, for ex- department chair ample s'he will teach a course on Mao's China: 1949-1979. Duvall estimates that within two years of her arrival, the East Asian department at Willamette will con consist sist of ten course offerings in East Asian History. These courses will complement other offerings in order to provide a full spectrum of intellec intellectual, tual, social, and political history of all areas of the world. The addition of a full-time pro professor fessor specializing in East Asian His History tory is only one of the many recent developments and expansions in the History department. Earlier this year, Professor George McCowen was named as the university's first en endowed dowed chair in U.S. History. Just three years ago William Smaldone was hired to teach social and political European history. In addition, Duvall noted that the his history tory department recently met to "re "rethink think the whole structure of our major and program."

Eyre, due to her involvement in community affairs and her forty year tenure as a highly respected teacher at Salem High School (now North Sa Salem), lem), has rightfully earned a distin distinguished guished reputation. Born in Illinois in 1897, Mary is the sixth child of a seven child family. In 1904, the Eyre family moved to Salem and occupied a large home at 2093 Mill St.; the same home Eyre has occupied for 91 years. After arriving in Salem, Mary immediately entered second grade at Yew Park School, originally lo-rjp cated at 13th St. and' 1 1 Mission; it has not sur vived. She attended Sa Salem lem High school from 19 10-19 14, which she later returned to as an instructor. Eyre, who always was a voracious reader and the scholar of her family, always planned to attend college; she entered Willa Willamette mette in 1914. During her four years at Willamette, she served as Assistant Editor of the Collegian, was Vice President of her SeniorClass and was a loyal member of the Adelante Liter Literary ary Society. Throughout her life, Eyre has maintained a close relationship with the university. She has been a dedi dedicated cated Town & Gown member for many years and has participated in a variety of alumni activities. On May 11, 1975, Eyre set prece precedent dent by becoming Willamette's first woman commencement speaker.

She often attended city council meetings, and in 1962, ran for a Democratic Oregon Senate seat. Although she lost, it was an exciting experience which Eyre enjoyed im immensely. mensely. Historic preservation has also been one of Eyre's favorite activities. She was the chairman of the Marion County Historical Society's success successful ful drive to save Deepwood, the Queen Anne home on the corner of 1 2th and Mission, from destruction. A Statesman Journal article from 1971 adequately expresses Eyre's contribution: "the Salem area will long have reason to be grateful. . .to Miss Mary Eyre and her committee for their unflagging conviction that the impossible was possible."

Acquaintances of Eyre's are also en- couraged to write down their remem- brances regarding this remarkable woman. Funny stories and anecdotes will be collected in a memory book. Eyre, after 9 1 years in Salem, has decided to give up her family home and move to Halsey, Oregon, witup; her niece and her family. This will be quite a change of environment for Mary, but she is looking forward to spending more time with her family, including three nieces and nephews who just adore "Aunt Mary."

Features 9 April 7, 1995 The Collegian Jamie Peters (o) j-g4 Mad Season "Above" As the first Supergroup of the '90s, there are some great expec expectations tations of Mad Season's first al album, bum, "Above." Made up of Lane Staley, vo vocals cals (Alice in Chains); Mike McCready, guitars (Pearl Jam); John Baker Saunders, electric bass; and Barret Martin, drums, percussion, upright bass, cello, mamba and vibes (Screaming Trees); Mad Season is the closest thing to a supergroup since they were all the rage in the 1960s. Mad Season was formerly known as the Gacy Bunch (named after John WayneGacy, thatlovely man who used to dress up as a clown and kill children). This is a curious combination of superstars from three groups, which have nothing in common outside of the fact that they all appeared on the "Singles" soundtrack and they have all come to represent the quickly dying Se Seattle attle sound. It makes for a weird synthesis, but one that is not nearly as odd as the old man I saw riding a Harley Harley-Davidson, Davidson, wearing leather chaps, a leather jacket with metal studs, a vintage World WarIIhelmet(com WarIIhelmet(com-plete plete with the spike on the top), and listening to "Soul Provider" by Michael Bolton (who is obvi obviously ously gaining a big following in the biker community). The combination of sty les usu usu-ally ally works well, but it does have some weak moments. By far, the Court Dances By James Sites Contributor A preview of "Court Dances," the spring dance concert, was per performed formed last night in the Arena The Theatre atre of the Playhouse. The production, which was cho choreographed reographed by Susan McFadden, was inspired by a 1994 Baroque Music and Dance Workshop held at Stanford University. This style of dance was performed in 17th century France, and much of the production reflected this style and time period. Initially, the performance was strange, almost confusing, as the au audience dience was forced to adjust to a per performance formance with no verbal communi communication. cation. The dancers entered in a sort of march, with one dancer seated in a chair in the center. Two light, playful flute solos followed, played by Heather Ahlstrom, which set the mood for some intense Minuet dancing. The dances continued, until slowly viewers could see a certain degree of tension arising between twodancersinparticular.sophomores Jeremy Teissere and Jayni Barron. They foreshadow an exciting and vio- lent showdown which is neither re resolved solved nor unresolved. In fact, the way the relationship unfolds has an effect on another one of the dancers, sophomore Kirsten Geier. Her character is so distraught over the situation, she enters in a solo dance of a restless sleep. This is the only part of the play where viewers can really experience the pain and anguish of the relationship between Teissere and Barron. weakest moment on the album oc occurs curs in the chorus of "I'm Above," the fourth track. This chorus is vin vintage tage Whitesnake, which is quite both bothersome ersome and makes me cringe every time I hear it. For those of you who enjoy sit sitting ting around and watching tapes of MTV circa 1985, Whitesnake sucks, always has sucked, and the fact that David Coverdale toured with Jimmy Page does very little to improve their credibility. Overall though, this album is quite good, for a group that is still trying to define itself and synthesize three dis distinct tinct styles. It ends up sounding very much like an Alice in Chains album, and people who thought "Dirt" was Aliceln Chains' best album will prob probably ably think that this album is a neces necessary sary addition to their CD collection. The Spinanes "Manos" The Spinanes, a duo on the Sub Pop label from Portland, did very little to impress me in their most recent album, "Manos." To be honest, I had never listened to the Spinanes before listening through "Manos" a few times for the purpose of this review, and I will probably not intentionally listen to them again any time soon. I found their music to be very uninspired as well as uninspiring. It didn't "rock," in the immortal words of our generation's cultural icons, Beavis and Butthead - or was it Professor Marks who reintroduced that terminology to the popular dis discourse? course? It was uninteresting, and it didn't make me want to jump up and dance. To be honest, it didn't elicit any emotion from me. The first track, "Entire," was the only tune that I even found worth my listening. It is a nice mellow song. offers unique interpretive The following dance, "Requiem," offered partial resolution for Geier' s character. The dancers begin to restore the light-hearted, flirtatious flavor of the production. Unfortunately, the audi audience ence never really hears an explana explanation tion of the play, nor do viewers leave feeling that tensions and conflicts have been resolved. The performance doesn't allow audience members to leave thinking that the. production ended happily. One other interesting aspect of the performance was the act entitled "Sisters" in which two dancers, Erica Brown and Elizabeth Frye, dance to together gether in an almost intimate fashion, leaving the audience to ponder the Paris $376 Tokyo $270 Bangkok $375 Guatemala $250 Fares are each way from Portland based on roundtnp purchase Taxes not nduded and restnetwrs appty.

The rest of the songs on "Manos" are more oriented around the electric guitar of Rebecca Gates, who also sings lead vocals as Scott Plouf maintains a simple, albeit steady drum beat. Tracks two through twelve all sound relatively similar, with Coates playing slow, relatively simple guitar leads, while apologetically singing her non-engaging lyrics. In the end, this album reminded me of a bad small factory album, who in turn usually sound like a mel-lowed-out and poor rendition of a band that continues to impress me -Hazel. Hazel "Are You GoingTo Eat That" Hazel, a trio also from Portland, has officially become my favorite band from the local area with their sophomore effort, "Are You Going To Eat That." Not only are Hazel's songs chiv chiving, ing, energy-filled punkpoprock ex excursions, cursions, they just seem to be cool kids. I consider myself lucky, be because cause I got a chance to see Hazel in concert last fall and they put on a helluva fun show. The three core members of the group were all very minimalist and hid behind their instruments and mic stands churning out engaging tune after engaging tune. Simultaneously some crazy guy, who is the fourth member of the band, changed in and out of various costumes, lip-syncing each song while mocking every "big name" group's front man. His antics varied from changing into a dress and doing his best imper impersonation sonation of Kurt Cobain to dancing like Axl Rose, and he finished each nature of their exhuberant teasing; was it platonic or sexual? In this particular instance, the confusion that usually leads to an inspired interpretation instead leads simply to more confusion. Much of the production requires interpretation on the part of the audi audience. ence. "(Court Dances) is frustrating for an audience, even confusing; but, so is life," said McFadden. Much of the performance requires the audience to relate the characters to themselves as the layers of formal formality ity are stripped away.

Recently, I saw a video from Hazel's most recent album that was some combination of "Sabo "Sabotage" tage" by the Beasties and some bad Benny Hill skit on Bohemia Afterdark. Side Note: watch Bohemia Afterdark every Saturday night at 2 am on Fox. I promise it will be a welcome follow-up to another lousy episode of Saturday Night Live.

If I had to pigeon-hole the change, I would claim that they have involved more of their punk influences in this album than in their first. This is most evident in the twelfth track, "Calliope," which also happens to be my favorite song on the album. Its raw energy and driving beat make me long for being stuck in the middle of a pit in a small sweaty club, bouncing off of big fellas who would defi definitely nitely try to kill me in any other setting. This album explores a num number ber of styles and seems to hit on al 1 cylinders, with very few weak moments.

Not many. A group of about twelve Willa Willamette mette students led by Assistant Pro Professor fessor of Rhetoric and Media Studies David Douglass will participate in these activities, along with many more, in a trip to Ecuador for the fall semester. The Ecuador trip is one of many destinations sponsored by Willamette's Off Campus Study pro program. gram. Douglass stressed that the Travel Abroad program, which allows stu students dents to appreciate and study in many different locales for a semester, is distinctly "home grown," created and sponsored by the university. Due to heightened interest, the program might eventually be open to students from other universitiescol universitiescolleges. leges. In fact, one member of next year' s group traveling to Ecuador is a student at Stanford. Douglass' primary reason forpar forpar-ticipating ticipating as Director of the Ecuador trip was his experience as a teacher of World Views for four years. Currently, all students at Willa Willamette, mette, excluding transfers, partici participate pate as freshmen in this course centered around the study of Latin America. This has created much interest in the Ecuador expedi expedition. tion. Douglass be believes lieves the stu students dents were espe especially cially attracted to the Ecuador trip because it gives them the rare op opportunity portunity to "meet and speak with some of the people they have read about." The World Views experience gave Douglass "an appetite" for Latin American culture. Although he has traveled extensively, he has never been to South America. if' , David Douglass Douglass is looking forward to seeing the diverse geography of Ec Ecuador. uador. For most of the trip, the group will be staying in Quito, the second highest (in elevation) capital in the world. However, the group will take a few weeks to travel in the Galapagos Is Islands, lands, known for their strange ani animals mals and plants, which are located about 600 miles off the coast. They were the site of Charles Darwin's studies on plant and ani animal mal life which encouraged his famous treatise, The Origin of Species . I he group will also have the opportunity to see areas of the Amazon Rain Forest, including navigating part of the river in a primitive, dug out canoe. Besides participating in all of these activities, Douglass will also be able to teach in some capacity in an Ecuadorian collegeuniversity. He said that interacting with Wil Willamette lamette and Ecuadorian students will most likely be tKe part of the trip he most enjoys. Douglass really doesn't have any reservations about the trip. He is sure that some things might be unpleasant, but is anticipating en enjoying joying "all aspects," since he be believes lieves "that even trying experi experiences ences remind you of who you are, and of your values." Ecuador is one of the smallest, and perhaps, poorest countries of South America. It lies on the west coast of the continent between Co Columbia lumbia and Peru. Experiencing the food and in interacting teracting with indigenous people will give the group a better per perspective spective of the country's culture. Douglass, who will become the next Director of the Off Campus Study program, hopes even more students will participate in years to come. Douglass regards all of the programs to various countries, such as Japan and England, as highly successful. Tom Clancy's Op Center not up to his usual standards By Christopher Ames Editor I was walking past the book store one day a few months ago when I was stopped with the suddenness of a F F-1 1 8 hitting the number 3 line on the USS Nimitz (or something). There was a new Tom Clancy book in the window! I rushed immediately into the store and bought the book. The arrival of a new Clancy book in my sweaty paws is a particularly joyous event for me. I have been a big fan since junior high when I read his techno-thrillermasterpiece, The Hunt for Red October. Most of his novels do not last long in my hands; the last book of his I read, Debt of Honor, took me about two days. This latest book, Op Cen Center, ter, co-created by Clancy and Steve Pieczenik, I had hopedwould live up to the same high level of readability and enjoyment. It must be noted, first of all, that like Red Storm Rising and Clancy's two non-fiction books, Op Center breaks from the saga of Clancy's super-man character, Jack Ryan; this book has nothing to do with this CIA wonderboy portrayed so well by Harrison Ford in Patriot Games and Clear and Present Danger. Op Center is set in the present time and global political climate and is based around a presumably fic fictional tional group (but with Clancy you never know) called, coincidentally, Op Center. The back cover of the book de describes scribes Op Center as "... a beating heart of defense, intelligence, and crisis management technology." The group was chartered by the President as a top-secret organization to take on dirty little political hot spots or brush brush-fire fire conflicts around the globe at a moment's notice. Along with that, they are politically expendible; if Op Center screws a job up and makes a big scene, the President will blame them and dump the organization. A fair family man and former lawyer and politician, Paul Hood is the director of this elite group of specialists. The job of coordinating Op Center's assets and White House liaison duties fall on his shoulders. The book opens about a year after Op Center' s inception, which is never directly discussed in the book. South Korea, as the book opens, is celebrating the anniversary of the election of their first president with an open air press conference and speech by the South Korean presi president. dent. There must be a crisis somewhere, of course, that Op Center can deal with. That crisis comes in the form of a mass assasination of the president, government officials in attendence and spectators carried out by a bomb. Immediately, everyone is blam blaming ing the North Koreans for the attack, and nations around the world, espe especially cially South Korea and the Unites States, begin preparing for big troubles on the extrememly political unstable Korean penninsula, possibly includ including ing war. ThePresidentof the United States assigns Op Center, within minutes of the explosion, to the task of finding out what exactly what happened. However, he gives them a strict dead line to find answers before strong military options are taken into con consideration. sideration. Hood quickly sends a small "Striker" team of troops to Korea to prepare for a covert military action that needs to accomplished. Mean Meanwhile, while, Op Center turns its intelli intelligence gence assets towards Korea in at attempt tempt to divine the truth. Hood and his staff quickly be become come suspicious of the theory of North Korean guilt. They find that not all the pieces fit, and that the belligerent party might be some previously unknow political terrorist group. Then strange things start happen happening: ing: without warning, the complex, ultra-high tech Op Center computer system shuts down due to some sort of virus. After the system is restarted, satellite intelligence shows North Korean military forces mobilizing, but isn't that too blatant? In South Korea, a Korean army sargeant mys mysteriously teriously gets a release for barrels of nerve gas to be taken to the Demili Demilitarized tarized Zone. Back at Op Center, Hood's staff discover that they might not be able to trust even their satellite and elec electronic tronic intelligence, not to mention the rumors coming into the headquarters. Tension around the globe in increases creases as the world wonders if World War Three is about to start on the Korean Penninsula. Paul Hood is determined to prevent this and races against the president's dead line. As a whole, Op Center is a very average book, full of technological refernences; that's Clancy's trade trademark. mark. However, unlike books like Sum of All Fears which had very accurate and readable descriptions of nuclear weapons, Op Center's tech technological nological depiction is reminiscent of the run-of-the-mill mass media ar articles ticles about "The Information SuperHighway." There are many needless mentions of email, videoteleconferencing and basic per personal sonal computer uses. The description of the Op Center headquarters seems to be a cross be between tween the Smullin Computer Labs andtheNORADmountainheadquar- ters in War Games. This book is simplictic, hokey and predicable. There is, however, and explanation for this. It appears that Op Center was written for or in close conjunction with Op Center the NBC movie. That is the fundemental flaw with this book: It reads j ust like a made-for-TV movie. I don't strongly recommend this book for devout Tom Clancy fans because it is not the high quality reading material that is usual expected from him. This is paperback quality that will let down avid Clancy read readers. ers. As I said before, I am a die-hard Clancy fan. But, it took me two months of sporadic reading to finish it. For the casual reader who has no real preconceptions of Clancy and will be unlikely to be disappointed with him, Op Center has good enter entertainment tainment value. It is easy reading, and the plot line is easy to follow, unlike the complex plots of normal Clancy novels. This is a good book to pick up for a half hour at night, or between classes when that sociology text is just not looking too appealing. I am disappointed that a high caliber writer such as Clancy would write such apiece of literary average average-ness. ness. I just hope there was a phat check in it for him.

Maybe not a milestone in hu human man knowledge, but it's the latest innovation from the labs at Harvard University, which is cashing in on faculty research at the rate of more than $5 million a year. Revenue from patents and in- ventions is skyrocketing at U.S. universities and colleges, which are searching for ways to raise money at the same time private industry is cutting back on research and devel development. opment. U.S. universities and colleges made $3 1 8 million in royalties from faculty inventions during 1993, the last year for which the figures are available, according to the Associa Association tion of University Technology Man Managers. agers. That was up 40 percent over Tl 1992. Collectively, the schools awarded 2,227 licenses to private industry and applied for a record 3,835 new patents.

University officials also said that selling off inventions developed using federal grants creates jobs and, consequently, more tax rev revenue. enue. In addition, they said, schools are being forced to find new ways to pay for research as the amount of federal funding levels off or falls. "This has caused the universi universities ties to reach out to private industry to a great extent for research fund funding," ing," said Terry Feuerborn, director of technology transfer for the Uni University versity of California system, which made $45.4 million during 1993, growing up in tiny Aulander, hard by the line between Bertie and Hertford counties in northeast North Carolina. "About 980 people, 979 now that I'm gone," he said with the big belly laugh and beaming smile that reveal his gregarious nature. Eventually a dedicated group of players in his home town got Penwell to take up the game that has sent him from Aulander to the finest resorts in the U.S. and all over the world. "I learned to play there with a bunch of men. We played on dirt, a very serious game of croquet," he related. "They had been playing this game every day behind the public library in Aulander all the time since I was in the first grade. "The public library happened to be right on the street going to the school. Every day I'd see them, for 1 2 years until I graduated from high school, and I thought it was silly. "I got married, settled down and they finally talked me into coming out there. I saw how much strategy there is to it, and it was the most intriguing thing I'd ever seen in my life."

Authorities point out that royal royalties ties from patents represent a frac fraction tion of the $ 1 7. 1 billion a year spent nationwide on university research. "Most people who are even rea reasonably sonably optimistic think it's highly unlikely that very many institutions will ever realize more than 5 per percent cent of their research budget from this source," Brinton said. Richard Nelson, an economist and professor at Columbia Univer University, sity, is part of a group of faculty that is investigating the rise of univer university sity patents. He said he worries that some schools have been putting pressure on their faculty to do re research search in areas most likely to pro produce duce a payback. But university administrators said faculty have come to like the idea. "When I first started doing this, I saw a lot more hesitancy to getting into commercializing your research results than I do now," Willey said. "If they really believe that this is a way for the public to benefit from their research results, they're happy to do it." And the money doesn't hurt, Brinton said, "especially when it's time to send the kids to college." the Aulander players took their homemade mallets and balls to the second USCA National Champion Championships ships in Central Park.

But there is more to competi competitive tive croquet than whacking a ball through grandma's geraniums. In singles, the game is like a multi-level chess match. "Blue and black are partners, red and yellow are partners. The first to get two balls through six wickets one way and six wickets the other way and both of them hit the peg wins the game," explained Penwell. "You can hit any of the balls and each time you hit a ball you get two more shots but you're dead on that ball until you go through the wicket you're going for." your debts Into one easy-to-manage payment Man gives money away Associated Press It's a wonderful life, and a mystery man wanted to share it, $1 at a time.

It poi poisoned soned minds as well as bodies. Images of the attack Monday and its aftermath have been deeply engraved on the national conscious consciousness: ness: Subway passengers felled and bleeding from the mouth and nose; platoons of police in gas masks and military-style fatigues storming a secretive religious sect's com compounds; pounds; passersby in the Ginza shopping district gathered around a huge television screen, listening si silently lently to the bizarre pronouncements of a cult leader. For some victims, the poison's effects were swift and cruel. For others, they will linger. The devas devastating tating blow to the public psyche, too, will probably be felt for a long time to come. All week, in private conversa conversation tion and public commentary, the underlying theme has been bewil bewilderment. derment. This is the kind of thing that happens in other countries, people say. Not here. Not to us. Nearly everyone who lives or works in central Tokyo knows of someone who was caught in the rush-hour attack, or had a brush with it. In offices and shops all week, people exchanged small-scale accounts of large-scale disaster: Oui building maintenance man, is he still in the hospital? Have you heard about the fishmonger's son, who was caught coming home from the seafood auction? Or: How lucky you were a little late to work that day. By week's end, the attack's toll was 10 dead and nearly 5,000 sick sickened, ened, with more than 700 still hos hospitalized. pitalized. Many of those afflicted have been told they may suffer long long-term term internal damage or months of poor eyesight. Still dawning is the sense of how much worse it could have been. The apocalyptic Supreme Truth sect, the main suspect in the attack, was reported to have possessed in ingredients gredients for enough nerve gas to kill 4 million people. This has already been a badly bruising year for Japan. Only 17 days into 1995, an earthquake dev devastated astated the port city of Kobe, killing nearly 5,500 people. Economic woes have been weighing heavy. The Japanese cur currency rency has appreciated 10 percent since the start of the year, hammer hammering ing export earnings of blue-chip companies and further dampening prospects for recovery from the worst recession since World War II. And there's a sense of political malaise. Reform hopes have qui quietly etly faded, and a weak, cobbled cobbled-together together coalition - widely consid considered ered a caretaker government - has been in power for nine months. Japan is coping with a disturb disturbing ing past, as well. The 50th anniver anniversary sary of the war's end - reviving memories of bloody Pacific battles, the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and the start of a humiliating foreign occupation - is stirring strong emotions and firing debate about Japan's wartime re responsibility. sponsibility. Many find it chilling that the subway attack was carried out with a substance dating from that era, the Nazi-developed nerve gas sarin. The attack was synchronized -police said poisonous parcels were planted on five trains at around the same time - and it was similarly a simultaneous strike at symbols close to Japan's heart. For many, the attack shattered the sense of safety that is a point of national pride. Tokyo may be a fast fast-paced paced world capital, but its neigh neighborhoods borhoods have a small-town sense of security, with tiny police out outposts posts every few blocks and officers often patrolling on creaky bicycles. Even the growth of handgun crime in recent months has shocked the Japanese. Urban terrorism, how however, ever, was nearly beyond the realm of imagination. The attack was a blow to an another other Japanese institution: the bu bureaucracy. reaucracy. All the affected trains were to have reached Kasumigaseki, the capital's administrative center, within a span of minutes. The station is only steps away from agencies including the elite foreign and finance minis ministries, tries, led by an exclusive frater fraternity nity comprised mainly of gradu graduates ates of Tokyo University, the Harvard of Ja Japan. pan. While the bureaucrats are often seen as in invincible, vincible, the at attack tack literally brought them to their knees, sending gray gray-suited suited men retching and gasping for air along with everyone else. Then there's Japan's pride in the clean and efficient subways, which were packed Monday morn morning, ing, as on any workday, with what may be the world's most well well-groomed, groomed, best-behaved commuters. So ingrained is the sense of de decorum corum that outside one hard-hit sta station, tion, a neatly dressed young woman, apparently embarrassed, waved off a rescuer, shaking her head and try ing to bow even as she gagged into a handkerchief. Tokyo was leveled by an earth earthquake quake in 1923 and wrecked by firebombing in 1945. The city re rebuilt built itself from ruins after both those disasters. Today, once again, its citizens are showing their strength. Soon after the attack Monday morning, a walk along a major bou boulevard levard dotted with subway stops on the affected Hibiya line showed no signs of panic. 7k fx ffi a K - c c r t t--v -v T ii loo j .Lancaster ur. s.ti. nnr rCQA Salem.

Wednesday ' s game versus West West-em em Oregon State College resulted in another loss for the Bearcats. The Bearcats faced WOSC at home, coming out of nine innings with a 9-8 loss. The loss itself was overshadowed by the fact that Willamette was ahead 8-0 in the first inning. "We got the lead and then just didn't put them away.

"Sunday we finally played up to our potential," said Kelly. There were five straight doubles, which led the Bearcats to score four runs in the sixth off of Pang, Kelly, junior Joe Belcher and senior Micky Glaze. Several players credited a lot of the win to strong starting pitching.

V Lacrosse Team hoping for first victory over Oregon State this Saturday after suffering loss to Pacific Lutheran by Doug Lewis Staff Writer The men's Lacrosse team is hoping to ob obtain tain their first victory of the season this Sunday when they play Oregon State University. They lost a well-played game last weekend, finally succumbing to Pacific Lutheran Univer University. sity. The final score was 11-6, but was not indicative of how the Bearcats competed. "We played really well as a team for the first time this season," junior attacker Michael Heald said. OSU also lost to Pacific Lutheran Univer University, sity, although they did not do nearly as well against the Lutes as Willamette. "Judging on how they did against PLU, we're predicting a win," Heald commented. The teamwork that Heald spoke of will be a key factor in the game on Sunday according to junior midfielder John Cairns. "Supposedly they are the worst team in the league," Cairns said. "They have a couple of good guys, but overall I think our team is better. We have pretty good team unity." Like Willamette's, lacrosse at OSU is a club sport. "Most NCAA Division I schools have varsity teams," Heald said. "But OSU and U of O don't, so we are able to play them." Last weekend's game was highlighted by a four goal per performance formance from freshman midfielder Spencer Green. Green, who according to Heald "has shown a lot of promise," played defense through the first four games of the season and just recently began playing in themidfield. The other scorers for the Bearcats were by Heald and freshman midfielder Andy Roberts. The Bearcats felt that they were capable of I heir goalie was not necessarily that good, we just missed a lot of shots. Mike Heald, junior NEED SUMMER OR FALL TERM HOUSING?

"We could have beat them if our shots would of been just a little more accurate," Heald said. "We had a lot of opportunities to score and their goalie was not necessarily that good, we just missed a lot of shots." PLU rattled off five first quarter goals, which were the differ ence in the game. "If you discard the firstquarter, then we tied," Cairns said. The men are doing all this without even having an official coach. Keith McDonald, who is a re recent cent graduate of Chico State and a resident of Salem, has been filling in as the "acting coach" for most of the season. "Keith has been helping us out a lot," Heald said. "And since he played at Chico, he knows what he's doing." In addition to McDonald, William Lee, also a resident of Salem, is helping the team out. Lee, who is a former player himself, does not do any coaching, but helps out with equip equipment ment problems and attends all the games. "He bought us a bunch of balls and he brings us oranges for halftime at the games," Heald said. "He has really given back to the game." Being a club and not a varsity sport at Willamette means that the team gets more of their funding from ASWU than from the ath athletic letic department. "ASWU gives us our yearly budget and then athletics pays for travel costs and the referees," Heald said. The game on Sunday is at 12 p.m. in Corvallis. This week. . .

Willamette's Athlete of the Week Tennis and golf: Alan Vesterguard senior, 1 singles tennis, golf Beaverton, Oregon Senior Alan Vestergaard has quite a busy schedule these days, competing in both varsity tennis and golf while finishing off his studies here at Willamette University. His dual sport involvement has earned him this week's Athlete of the Week honors. Vestergaard has always been involved in athletics. He started playing tennis when he was nine years old and he has played competitively ever since. Golf, on the other hand, began more as a hobby during high school and through the years he made steady improvement in his game. Vestergaard enjoys his busy schedule and is glad that he is able to find time to play both sports. "This is the first year that both coaches have agreed to let me play and also that I have had enough time to devote to both sports," said Vestergaard. He does admit that sometimes his busy schedule is very tiring. "Some days I play 18 holes of golf in the morning, go io class in between, and then be ready to play a tennis match in the afternoon. By the end of the day I am completely exhausted," said Vestergaard. This year the tennis team has only three returning players and the rest are new to the team. As a senior Vestergaard adds a lot of experience and leadership that is vital to the success of the team. The golf team is also very young, and coupled with the loss of standout Kent Clark to graduation last year, the team also benefits from Vestergaards presence. Overall Vestergaard feels very fortunate to be able to compete in two sports that he enjoys very much. "Even though my day is full with activity I would not want to have it any other way. I know that I will never get a second chance to compete on the collegiate level, and I might as well enjoy as much of it as possible." Weather puts new spin on the ball by Doug Lewis Staff Writer After resting up for a week, the women's tennis team is primed to go into what could be their most chal challenging lenging weekend of the year. They host Pacific Lutheran University to today, day, University of Puget Sound to tomorrow, morrow, and round off the weekend with Oregon State University on Sun Sunday. day. They have not played a match since they faced Pacific University at home against last Friday. They pre prevailed vailed in that one by a score of 6-3. Due to rain, the match was moved from the outside courts at Willamette, to the indoor courts of the Courthouse Athletic Club. The women always play there when it rains, but due to the lack of it this year, they have not had much experience on the different sur surface. face. "This was the first time we've played a match there, so it took a while to get used to it," junior Kim Yokoyama said. "We adjusted to it pretty well." Unlike Willamette, Pacific plays indoors regularly. "It was like they had an advantage over us on our home courts," Head Coach Molly Sigado commented. Their latest win improves their record to 2-2 in conference and 4-9 overall. This weekend, they face the top team in conference and a team that has already beaten them. "PLU will be our toughest competition," Sigado said. "And we already lost to UPS 3 3-6. 6. So it will be a difficult weekend." Yokoyama thinks that the week off has given them time to ready themselves for the Lutes attack. "We've been preparing ourselves for them and we know their style," she said. WeshoulddobetteragainstUPS," Yokoyama stated. "We are more into our season now and we are more comfortable playing." . t Freshman John Eames takes a clean forehand while focusing on the ball. The matches are today at 3:30 p.m., tomorrow at 10 p.m., and Sun Sunday day at one p.m. While the women had a break for a while, the men faced two tough teams last weekend and are going up against another on Sunday. They trekked up to the Univer University sity of Portland on Saturday and Sunday to face the Pilots and the Bulldogs of Gonzaga University. The men lost to U of P 7-0 and beat Gonzaga 5-2. Because both of those teams are NCAA Division-One Schools, they scored the matches with the NCAA format. They score singles the same, but instead of awarding a point to each doubles match, as they do in the NAIA, the team that wins two out of the three doubles matches , which are played in pro-sets, is awarded just one point. Against U of P the Bearcats were basically outplayed in every area. "They're an NCAA D-l school and just a really good team," said sopho sophomore more Mark Dedrick. "We had a couple close matches but did not do very well in the rest." The men were more pleased with their performance against Gonzaga. "We did pretty well as a team," Dedrick said. "Gonzaga is not as strong as a lot of NCAA schools but it was still nice to get a win against them." Like the women's conference, PLU is the team to beat in the men's as well. "They're a quality team," Dedrick said. "It will be a tough match." They face the Lutes at three p.m. in Tacoma. A match scheduled yesterday against Linfield was canceled due to possibility of rain. V NCAA Championship Wizard of Westwood watches quiedy as UCLA shows Arkansas the door in final hoops game Associated Press SEATTLE (AP) It was just like old times, the UCLA Bruins winning a national basketball championship and the gray-haired, bespectacled man sitting there watching them. Only this time basketball's "wiz "wizard ard of Westwood" was in the stands instead of beside the players. With none of his old, rolled-up programs in sight, John Wooden watched UCLA's Bruins defeat the Arkansas Razorbacks, 89-78 Mon Monday day at Seattle's Kingdome. Thousands of fans blocked streets in Westwood, the Los Ange Angeles les neighborhood surrounding UCLA's campus, to celebrate the victory. Police went on alert as fans wrecked a radio station's van and fired guns into the air. No injuries were immediately reported. It was a record 1 1 th national title for the Bruins. Wooden, who led them to the first 10, has been retired 20 years and had attended the champi championship onship round only once since 1985. "I told myself I wouldn't come unless they got to the final," he said. At age 84, and looking dapper in a white shirt with burgundy stripes, a burgundy vest, navy bluejacket and paisley tie, he looked different than during the days of the 1960s when UCLA won seven years in a row. 0 TENTH ANNUAL TRACY HOFFMAN MEMORIAL 3K WALK & 5K RUN FOR LEUKEMIA SUNDAY APRIL 9, 1995 11:00 a.m. in BUSH PARK Sign up now!

Willamette's women's softball team did pound winless Lewis & Clark last" weekend but could not steal a win from a much improved Linfield squad. The 2-2 week for the Bearcats moved their record to 8-12 overall and 2-2 in the conference. Freshman pitcher Karie Van Curler (4-8, 1-2) threw her eighth complete game in the 6-0 conference opening victory against Lewis & Clark, throwing a two hit shutout. Sophomore Amy Sinclair (3-2, 1-0) picked up the 19-1 complete game victory for the Bearcats in the second game. Willamette had seven players hit .500 or better in the double-header. The most dominating perfor performance mance at the plate came from senior outfielder Tara Sosnoski. In six at- bats, Sosnoski had six hits and six RBI. Junior infielder Kristi Heryford was impressive as well, going 5 for 8 on the day, with three RBI. Van Curleralso contributed more than just herpitching, as she collected 3 hits in 5 at-bats and knocked in four runs. For the season, Sosnoski is hit hitting ting a team leading .394 and is tied for the second with eight RBI. Heryford is hitting at a .378 clip, with a team leading nine RBI. Sophomore catcher Marie Kauffman has been contributing her usual performance, hitting .375 and knocking in eight runs, while throw throwing ing out 10 of 22 runners trying to advance on the base paths. Freshman outfielder Sara Kane has also done her part in contributing to the Bearcat scoring attack by knock knocking ing in eight runs of her own. The much improved Bearcats were not alone this season, as Linfield was also selected as a team on the rise. When the two teams met on Wednesday, they were bound to find out who had come the furthest. In the first game it was Linfield, who came away with the 2-1 victory. The only inning that saw any scoring was the fourth, where Linfield scored two runs and the Bearcats added one of their own. The Bearcats, who managed only three hits, could not come up with the tying run. Van Curler took the loss for Willamette, throwing her ninth com complete plete game of the season. The second game produced simi similar lar results, as the Bearcats were un unable able to come up with the big hits in the final inning, taking the 4-2 loss. Linfield scored one run in the first inning off of Sinclair, but Willamette answered that with a run in the bot bottom tom half of the inning. Linfield took a 2-1 lead in the fifth, but again the Bearcats came up i: S.sCl-' '-S ; Sophomore Catcher Marie Kauffman chases down a Linfield runner as junior Jen Wantland waits to recieve the ball. The Bearcats dropped both games in the conferencce double-header. with the tying run later in the inning. The game looked as if it were headed to extra innings, as the sev seventh enth approached. Then, Van Curler , who relieved Sinclair in the sixth inning, gave up two funs to Linfield, giving the Bearcats only one more chance to tie the game or possibly come from behind for the victory.. Unfortunately, the Bearcats were not able to respond this time, as they dropped their second consecutive conference game The Bearcats will face another tough test tomorrow, as they host Division II power Portland State, in a 1 p.m. non-conference double-header at Bush's Pasture Park. Willamette knocked off the Vi Vikings kings for the first time in school history and are hoping for similar results this season. On Sunday, the Bearcats venture to Klamath Falls to take on Oregon Institute of Technology in a non non-conference conference double-header. They will host OIT next Thurs Thursday day in a double-header at Wallace Marine Park, starting at 5 p.m. Friday's match-up with nation nationally ally ranked and conference favorite Pacific Lutheran will be when the Bearcats find out just how competi competitive tive they can be. Willamette also recorded it's first ever victory over PLU last season, and will have to repeat their feat if they are to have any chance at the conference title. One victory over PLU would be a major help in earning a playoff spot. The double-header will begin at 5 p.m. at Wallace Marine Park. TtttfllSljiAY! TiitfllSDAY!

Sophomore Ryan Teague Beckwith, the paper's current news editor, will take over the position from Erik Holm in May. In a recent interview, Beckwith out outlined lined some of his new ideas, and the direction he wants the Collegian to take in the future. He also expressed a sense of pride in the things Collegian has achieved so far. "I couldn' t even be making these plans without the foundation which has been laid by the past editors - Erik (Holm), J.O. (Price) and Linh (Vu) and Seth (Schaefer)," said Beckwith. Beckwith will create two new posi positions tions on the Collegian's editorial board. One will be an Opinion and Editorial Editor who will be responsible for those pages, and the other will be a Computer Consultant who will work with the paper on technical issues. Aside from helping to reduce the workload of the editors, Beckwith said he hopes the two new editorial positions will increase the diversity of the paper's staff. "For next year, I'd like to expand the range of views represented in the Collegian, to get more conflicting and differing view viewpoints points represented throughout the paper," said Beckwith. "When the Op-Ed pages of a college newspaper include solid criticism of the workings of the campus, humor and good writing, they can really sparkle. I'd like to make that happen," said Beckwith. Next year's Collegian will also be avail available able in more than one form. "I plan on using all the resources on campus to make the Collegian the best paper we can produce," said Beckwith. In particular, Beckwith hopes to expand the Collegian into the electronic realm and work with the new Writing Center to help staff writers. The responsibilities of the Computer Consultant will include developing and implementing a Collegian home page on the World Wide Web which will include ar archives chives of past issues, as well as creating an i.lh.. i M .

Beckwith also hopes to increase the financial and editorial independence of the paper by "running the paper more like a business."

Some changes will be made to several of the residence halls before students move in next year. The old kitchen in Matthews Hall will be renovated and turned into the new Campus Writing Lab to be opened next year. Lee and York houses will be installed with card locks for next year's residents, and the same plan is a possibility for WISH and the sororities. Lee House will also be opened up to undergraduate students. With the single rooms, however, residents will be required to sign a contract agreeing to the extended quiet hours and commitment to study. Lausanne will maintain it's quiet policy, but will include a disclaimer about the noise from construction during the day. The third and fourth floors of Kaneko will change to co coed ed by balcony next year. The fourth floor will be considered a Wellness Floor, and residents will be required to sign a contract pledging to make the floor alcohol and smoke free with an emphasis on exercise and nutrition and an exercise room.

Two of the RAs at Kaneko have already worked with Spencer, at Doney and Lausanne. Bailey was one of them. Though the semester is winding down, Spencer still has plans for the hall. One of the biggest jobs remain remaining ing for her will be room selection within the hall. She'd also like to focus on keeping the hall active. She already realizes, however, how dif different ferent this task will be in Kaneko than it was in Lausanne and Doney. "It's harder to pull Kaneko' s larger community together," she says. The other issue facing Spencer is the recent arson incidents in the hall. She arrived in Kaneko after Spring Break to find that feelings about the issue had settled a little. Now most residents' feelings about the incidents seem to be greatly im improved. proved.
