Right now the proposition to have beer served at certain times Behind Closed Doors: Alcohol on Campus during the week in the Bistro is in the "idea stage," according to Kelly Rudd, one of the Bistro managers. Only a few years ago, beer was served in the Bistro from 5-7 p.m. on Fridays as part of the Let's Get Together program. "Let's Get Together was a time when faculty, administrators and students could get together in an informal social atmosphere. Beer was served free of charge to any anyone one over 21. A TGIF fund cov covered ered the cost of the alcohol," said Tony Noble, Director of Special Events. Rudd thinks a reinstitution of this program is needed. He said, "Let's Get Together was some sometimes times referred to as 'let's get drunk' with the faculty, but not a lot of people came for that rea reason." son." Rudd thinks serving alcohol for only two hours will prevent people from getting drunk. "By allowing alcohol to be used in a socially responsible manner, it will de-stigmatize alcohol. Alco Alcohol hol is not the problem, the way it is misused is the problem," said D'mitri Palmatcer, ASWU Presi dent. Rudd also pointed out that most other universities have a tap somewhere on campus. "By not selling alcohol or cigarettes any anywhere where on campus, we have the appearance of being a puritanical school . There are no outward signs of liberalism on campus," added Rudd. Palmateer and Rudd both mentioned concerns that serving alcohol will detract from the present atmosphere of the Bistro, but Rudd assures the limited hours that alcohol will be sold will en ensure sure that the Bistro will never have a pub-type atmosphere.

Less than ten minutes before the game, a handful of Willamette's players were given a warning from the referees about wearing 34" cleats, which are illegal in the league because they give a competitive advantage on soggy fields. Players were out desperately grinding down their cleats on the cement, trying to get down to the 12" regulation length before the game started. Before the second half started, defensive captain senior Chris Prange, received a personal foul because his cleats were longer than the allowable half-inch.

Wineke Associated Press While other researchers tell you to take expensive drugs and stop eating good food, Professor John Folts keeps finding evidence that wine and dark beer are good for your arteries. On Tuesday, Folts, Director of the University of Wisconsin Medi Medical cal School's Coronary Thrombosis Research and Preveniion Labora Laboratory, tory, told a meeting of the Ameri American can Heart Association in Anaheim, Calif., that something called "flavenoid supplements" may be better for your heart than even aspi aspirin. rin. That's important because it was Folts who, 21 years ago, docu documented mented that taking aspirin helped protect people against heart attacks. Today, millions of people around the world are on aspirin therapy. The drug is believed to keep the blood from clotting and clogging arteries, leading to heart attacks. - Currently, Folts is working with flavenoids, organic compounds found in a wide variety of plants and in beverages like green and black tea, red wine, purple grape juice and dark beer. Two years ago, Folts announced that drinking two glasses of red wine reduces platelet blood cell clumping. Earlier this year, he an announced nounced that purple grape juice has the same effect, but it takes three times as much grape juice as it does red wine to achieve the same effect. Researchers believe that the rea reason son cholesterol deposits help clog arteries is that they are exposed to oxygen molecules and, in effect, turn rancid.

' 1W A1ST News November 17, 1995 T)ie Collegian Faculty evaluators seek student input A sudden influx of faculty evaluations through the mail raises questions about the effects that student responses have on the process. by Joe Findling Writer Laureate Students every year receive evaluation documents for their various pedagogues, generally either in the form of the Student Evaluation of Teaching Effectiveness (SETE) in class, or a request through campus-mail to evaluate a faculty member. While this information seems to drift into a black hole of bureaucracy, it is actu actually ally quite useful to the Faculty Council, a body consisting of seven professors and the Dean of the College of Liberal Arts. "There are three basic criteria that we use in evaluating faculty: teaching effec effectiveness, tiveness, personal and professional devel development opment and university and community ser service," vice," Faculty Council Chair and Professor of Economics Tom Hibbard said. "I think students are a very helpful source for us, particularly on teaching effective effectiveness," ness," he continued. "But often times they are also familiar with the kind of service activity that a faculty member engages in. They may know something about his re research search and they know how that impacts his "I I think students are a very helpful source for us," -Tom Hibbard, Faculty Council Chair or her teaching." While the council uses summary infor information mation from the SETEs, along with faculty members' personal statements about their teaching effectiveness, the letters sent to students receive special attention, as they are read by every member of the council, and reminders are sent to students if too few evalua evaluations tions are returned. "Teaching ef effectiveness fectiveness is the most important criteria. Profes Professional sional activity and university and community ser- vice cannot make up for ineffective teach teaching," ing," Hibbard said. "To the extent that teaching effective effectiveness ness is paramount, the student letters are in many ways the most detailed and helpful piece of information we have, because these are the people that are daily observers." Approximately 20 students are selected randomly from class rosters of previous semesters of the professor, and the indi individual vidual to be evaluated also lists five to ten students to whome he would like to have sent. Sometimes, between getting class list information from the Registrar's office to the computer center to the Dean' s Adminis Administrative trative Assistant, mistakes occur where a student who has not had a professor is asked to evaluate one anyway. "I really think we've got to fix that," Hibbard said. "It's frustrating for the students and it's frustrating to us." Faculty council evaluations are gener generally ally done to evaluate professors for pro promotion, motion, tenure or merit pay, as well as providing "feedback for the faculty mem member ber about how he or she is doing, and what areas might be appro appropriate priate for him or her to work on," Hibbard said. Post-tenure re- views are also given to continue to provide feedback for a pro professor. fessor. While the faculty council only recom recommends mends promotion or tenure for a professor to the President, "In almost all cases our recommendations are taken," said Hibbard. "The letters really are important. It's the students' chance to let us know what works and what doesn ' t," Hibbard stressed. Along with providing evaluations, the fac faculty ulty council hopes to make better faculty, and letters "help the faculty member better appreciate some kinds of modifications or changes or approaches that might lead to his or her being more effective. We're not just trying to keep students busy." Israeli Consul responds to Ashram's notion of peace by Joan McGee Staff Writer Speaking in an impassioned tongue that the possibilities of peace are still strong today and that every gradual success in the slow process toward peace should be looked at in a positive light, Israeli Consul Reda Mansour ad addressed dressed a large crowd last night at the Cat Cavern, leaving late late-coming coming observers with only room to sit on the floor. In a sharp contrast to last week's lecture by Hanan Ashrawi that was largely critical of the peace agreements and offered little hope to an end of future conflict, Mansour suggested ways to find solutions to the ex existing isting problems. "It can be done and it should be done," he said to the audience. "Ashrawi gave a real negative side of the peace process. You need to support the process in order for it to work, you can't say, 'If you don't do it this way, you can't do it Ashrawi gave a real negative side of the peace process," -Reda Mansour, Israeli Consul ever.' After fifty to one hundred years of fighting, peace might not come in one to two years. "To focus on the nega negatives tives of this agreement after so many bloody years would be a shame. This is not a struggle between good and bad, but be between tween two goods. Both have suf suffered fered and have lost a lot of their own. I could have given a dia diatribe tribe attacking the Palestinians on any number of issues," Mansour said, referring to Ashrawi's references to Israeli wrongdoing in her speech last Thursday. "I could have said the same things about Palestine. But I don't attack them for terrorist activities. Why should I? I in instead stead want to support solving the problems that exist." Mansour, whose office is based in San Francisco, had been brought to speak at Willamette by World Views coordinator Todd Silverstein. The intention of his visit was to offer students increased views from the Middle East that are uninfluenced by the West. Born in northern Israel, Mansour attended HaifaUniver HaifaUniver-sity, sity, and later joined the Minis Ministry try of Foreign Affairs in 1990. Since 1992, he has served as Second Secretary in the Interna International tional Organizations Division, focusing on UN affairs, and has occupied his current post since August of 1993. Raised in a Druse village named Issfiya, Mansour belongs to a small minority group of Is Israeli raeli Arabs. "I think my background is proof that you can ' tj ust see th ings in terms of black and white, Jews and Arabs," Mansour said. "There are many Arabs that support the state of Is Israel, rael, and many Jews that sup- port Palestine. We Palestine and Israel used to blame each other, saying that one of us was good while the other was bad and violent." The Israeli consul stressed we must get past these former feelings, such as the ones brought about in the speech by Ashrawi, in order for any sort of change to occur. "I don't want to wake up 20 years from now to realize that we could have made peace now." he Reda Mansour, the Israeli Consul, speaks to a large crowd in the Cat Cavern with his perspective of peace. said. "Who knows when it will come again?" Mansour went on to describe that violence can never solve any problems, and that the constant gore witnessed in the Middle East before and even after the peace agreements was harder to deal with than actual wars. "When people you know get killed, it's a lot different than soldiers in uniform in a war, out outside side of the country 's borders," he said. Mansouralso stressed the im importance portance of finding hope in the peace process. "When you start to rebuild, you must invest in long term projects," he said. "When you put together the des desperation peration of the extremists who believe the peace process is bad for Palestinians, the desperation of refugees who don't have any hope, and the religion compo component, nent, you have the most destruc destructive tive weapon, which is the human bomb." Mansour also offered his shock that an Israeli could kill his own Prime Minister, calling it the end of Israel's innocence. "It was a major crisis." he said. "You fight for peace, not for more land and destruction of the other side. You try to bring about negotiations that will bring about peace. Even officers in the military spoke about non-violence, and not to waste human life, on both sides." "We need to look at what's going on in the world," Mansour concluded in his final thoughts after the speech. "Western powers must not close themselves off from the outside world. Only forty out of 1 38 countries have democracy. Many of these countries do want democracy, and the US should try to help them. They are not asking for any sort of investments of for foreign eign aid, just guidance. The peace process could occur not only in the Middle East, but in the entire global scene." Mansour pointed out the United Stales could help this ef effort fort and make great strives for world peace. "Before former Israeli Prime Minister Yitzthak Rabin was killed." said Mansour, "he said to the young people, 'I'm willing to take risks for you. I don't want you to have to live like I did for 24 years as a soldier. I want to pre prevent vent you from this sort of life.'" Mansour. the Israeli govern government ment and most of the world hope the sacrifice of Rabin will not be forgotten in this struggle for peace. Chaplain explores girls' education JUniversity Chaplain, Charlie Wallace, discussed the traditional nature of education for girls during the eighteenth century by Melissa Prichard Staff Writer Girls during the Eighteenth century were taught to be docile and modest, yet able to question their surroundings and desire to be educated. The primary focus of Charlie Wallace's, University Chaplain, faculty Colloquium was not whether anything has really changed in female education but the actual ideas behind the education of daughters in the eighteenth century. Wallace explored the texts of three au authors thors who wrote on this topic during the 1700s. These people, George Hicks, James Hervey and Mary Wollstonecraft, were all influenced by a French Archbishop, Francois de Salignac de la Mothe Fenelon, who wrote a book concerning the proper education of a daughter in the late 1600s. One major difference between Fenelon's writings and Hicks's, Hervey's and Wollstonecraft's writings was a result of the fact that Fenelon was a Catholic, while the other three were Protestants. Hick's religious beliefs spilled over into his book, Instructions for the Education of a Daughter ( 1 708), and shaped his view on the education of females. Hicks believed that education should start when a girl is very young. He was influenced by Locke's idea that the "will of a child needed to be conquered." Hicks wrote that females should be educated in subjects that concerned housework and pertained to things that females needed to know. "Hicks thought girls did not need to learn subjects like phi philosophy, losophy, the sciences or politics," said Wallace. Hicks also warned that "too much educa education tion could turn a girl's brain." According to Wallace, Hicks thought girls should be en encouraged couraged to ask questions and raise doubts. However, parents were supposed to merely view these questions as opportunities for edu education. cation. Hervey differed from Hicks in his view of what subjects females should learn. In Hervey's book, A Treatise on the Re Religious ligious Education of Daughter, he said girls should learn the sciences, so that they could study plants, animals and other aspects of "God's World." However, Hervey cautioned parents to restrict what literature girls read. Hervey pri primarily marily viewed education as a way to work into the female heart a sense of God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit. He also thought education was a way to channel the passions of a child towards a good purpose. The third piece of writing Wallace exam examined ined was Wollstonecraft' Thoughts on the Education of Daughters. Interestingly, Wollstonecraft's ideas con concerning cerning the education of females did not differ much from Hick's or Hervey's, even though she wrote at a later date. "Wollstonecraft thought females needed to be educated but only within the context of their roles," said Wallace. Wollstonecraft also believed that education in reason was the key to governing instinct. Wallace concluded with the comment that he was still comparing these three au authors' thors' point of view. Wallace is continuing his evaluation of whether or not any change in attitude towards that educaiion of females actually occurred during the eighteenth century. itoria The Collegian November 17, 1995 Ediromals Consider beer in Bistro A lrcady the main supplier of campus narcotics in the form of over-caffeinated espresso and .the ever-questionable Buzz Bars, the possi bility of another mood altering substance in the Bistro has raised some hopes in the student body. Student leaders are currently in the process of drafting a proposal for the February meeting of the Board of Trustees to revamp the "Let's Get Together" program. This is an excellent start. However, both theTrust theTrust-ees ees and the students should recognize the benefits of an expanded service of beer in the Bistro. As it stands, students and staff of legal drinking age must leave the relative safety of our pedestrian pedestrian-friendly friendly campus in order to partake of an alcoholic beverage. Beer in the Bistro would keep on-campus students out of their cars and off of busy city streets while their motor skills are potentially impaired. Further, by expanding its hours of operation in order to serve alcohol, the Bistro would provide more hours for student workers. When conventional wis wisdom dom says that the service and beer at the Ram is poor at best, why not have your friends and peers provide you with the service they would desire? Besides, money spent at the Ram flows into the coffers of the chain of restaurants to which it belongs. Serving beer in the Bistro is a chance for the Willamette community to reinvest in itself. Safety endangers students Recent events at theTIUAparking lot have brought forward important issues with the plan to rel relegate egate all resident undergraduate parking to the TIU A lot or the Salem Hospital. In recent days, students who already use the TIU A lot to park their cars have noticed that the gate that separates the lot from 14th street has been wide open, twenty-four hours a day. When questioned, Campus Safety explained that the locking mechanism has been broken and would be repaired as soon as possible. As permit holders know, Campus Safety took no steps to inform permit holders that the TIUA lot's security had been lessened. However, security should not have been allowed to lapse. If the logistics of acquiring a part and the necessary maintenance made immediate repair im impossible, possible, alternate modes of security should have been provided where security had been compromised. The absence of this security measure placed students who park in the lot, as well as the residents of Kaneko hall, at an increased risk. If the number of cars and students using this lot is going to increase in the near future, it is vital that security rema'.n constant and reliable. Otherwise, the university will be unjustly placing students and their property at risk.

Q r1 ) V T Opinion November 17, 1995 Die Collegian Depression brings human beings together In our present candy-coated, force-fed so society, ciety, it seems that there are so many issues that have divided our country- and perhaps the world in general. There are so many screwed-up problems that it is no won wonder der why there are so many people being led to engage in serious fits of drinking and rage. Between environmental, social, national and international crises, there seems to be no unity at all among us "civilized" humans. As I was sitting around the other day thinking about obviously nothing remotely important, I thought of one single thing that every person in the entire world, and perhaps even the cosmos, can identify with. An issue -so simple that it pervades our precious lives each and every day of our existence. You sit there in amazement and wonder what in hell could every person in the world identify with? The answer is depression. There is no one in their right mind who cannot identify with being depressed. It is really great when you can get a group of people who are depressed at the same time -it's a sense of unity and cooperation that is unparalleled by anything in our present world. We all know what it is like to feel lonely and One Man Riot Nate LeQuieu depressed. It sucks. Or does it? Just think of the last time that you were absolutely so depressed that you could not stop scribbling dark, twisted hate-poetry. When you shut yourself in your room and vow never to come out again, convinced that you now know what reality really consists of. Then, all of a sudden, you realize that you were thoroughly enjoying yourself - because you are actually seeing what you are made of. You were stripping away all the false fronts that we all put up in order just to make it through the day. You are really getting into to it when someone knocks on the door and decides that they want to cheer you up. You appreciate their effort, but what you really want them to do is get the hell out, so you can go back to being depressed! I think that in our Colgate toothpaste, smiley society, we have lost all sense of how great and wonderful it really is to be de depressed. pressed. When you do get totally depressed and have the first six Black Sabbath albums playing simultaneously in your head, it is simply greatness calling. Can you rise above to the level that you are being called? It is a direct challenge from your sub subconscious conscious self to transcend, yet we ignore this chance to achieve greatness - to grow and learn from our experience. The problem stems from the fact that when you finally have that good old gut gut-ripping ripping depression pulsing through your We all know what it is like to feel lonely and depressed. It sucks. Or does it? veins, when you are about to achieve that sense of total self-awareness one can only dream of, someone is always trying to cheer you up. This is what really sucks! However, I guess it is probably good that someone is there to try and cheer you up, otherwise I would really be critical of humanity. At least we are semi-nice to one species. So, the next time that you are depressed, hold on to that depression. Learn from your depression and realize the greatness that it contains. If someone you know is depressed, let them know that you are there to help them, but only if they need it. Leave us alone to listen to our depressing music and scribble our manic poetry - we like it! Just remember the next time that black blackness ness pervades your sun filled day - Rise Above. St ART makes change Last week's Collegian ran a newsbrief announcing StART's forums on Willamette's Sexual Assault Policy to be held in the next weeks. I dealt with the issue of sexual assault at Willamette a few years ago, and I wonder how many students now remember the turmoil on campus relating to the issues of sexual as assault sault and rape in the '93 - '94 aca academic demic year. Frank Meyers was our VP of Student Affairs then, and the issues of rape and sexual assault were not as openly addressed by the admin administration istration as they The same issue Frank had been re refusing fusing to deal with had now blown up in the his face, in a way, mere weeks after he'd downplayed our Wayfaring Familiar Robert O. Brown committee's requests. But one brave student had brought to light the University's reluctance to deal with the issue. A local reporter had been there to hear it. The studentalleged victim claimed that the administra administration tion had tried to stop her from going to the police. are now. I was part of a commit committee tee in RHA, which addressed sexual assault policy changes and awareness. Our commit tee sat across from Frank Meyer one day that October and requested a change in Willamette's policy, which at the time did not directly address sexual assault or rape. Frank urged us to be patient, to note that it was only an "interim" policy. He emphasized that the policy had been read by lawyers, that it was good - for an interim policy - and that we could be proud to have it, it was cutting edge. I got the sense he was trying to do what any good politician would have done: disarm concern. Some of you may remember, though, the little fiasco that the University faced that same semes semester: ter: a student was allegedly sexu sexually ally assaulted in her room in Baxter hall, and went public with allega allegations tions of an administration "cover "cover-up." up." When this woman went to the VP of Student Affairs for help, she apparently wasn't satisfied with his solution. So she held a floor meet meeting ing in Baxter hall to voice her con concerns cerns about the way the University dealt with the issue of sexual as assault. sault. The day of the meeting, home homemade made flyers started popping up around campus announcing the hall meeting and urgingattendance. That evening, around 200 students - and a reporter from the Statesman Jour Journal nal - gathered in the Baxter lounge to hear a message that had been intended for the Baxter hall resi residents. dents. This is what I mean by fiasco. The victim said that administrators had tried to stop her from going to the police. But institu institutions tions have a way of closing gaps and making people forget the importance of things. I was out outraged raged when Frank, in the spring term of that year, stood in front of an audi audience ence in Cone Chapel to introduce a panel discussion on the issue. The same man that had denied the im importance portance of our committee's sug suggested gested policy change stood there and said things like, 'we have been working hard on this issue all year.' I didn't count the number of times he said "we" in an attempt to claim partial credit for progress we the students had gained. He said it more than once. This same adminstrator who had denied us months before. Such tales as this illustrate the significance of StART's forums and other student-initiated actions be becomes comes apparent. As students we come from all over the world and stay only a brief four years. Ours is an unstable community. One fourth of us departs every year and a new group arrives to take their place. Our community has no basis for collective memory. One year easily wipes clean the memory of the last. If we are to see our interests and needs met on this campus by this institution, we must be united and we must be diligent. We must pass down our experience as a commu community nity to new members so that they can carry on our voices and con continue tinue to realize our visions. It is the only hope we have facing an institu institution tion such as this University to which students' voices are an ever fluctu fluctuating ating din and financial demands are a constant roar. .New curriculum for real world A s we reach toward the end of the semester and ev everyone eryone is getting tired of their subjects, it is time to think of next semester's classes. Schedul Scheduling ing is on everyone's minds, pro professors fessors as well as students. So before any final arrangements are made and students get four more classes that they'll get burned out on within a few weeks, I thought I would provide a few more op options. tions. The following are classes that Willamette should seriously look at offering. They would ben benefit efit students now, in addition to the future when they leave the university and enter the "real world." The discipline would be: Life. Yes, this would give you the opportunity to major, orminor, in Life. First are the 100 level classes. These are recommended for fresh freshmen, men, but seniors who need an another other credit and want something that is more entertaining than stressful could also take these. Life 101: "Advanced Laun Laundry" dry" This class would walk stu students dents through the more difficult laundry procedures, such as bleaching and coffee stain re removal. moval. A strong emphasis will be on how to be able to go more than two weeks without doing laundry and without smelling. Life 105: "Eating: How toSur toSur-vive vive Without Mom." The main emphasis in this course will be how to eat cheap, and often fast food, while eating healthy. Note: A lab is required for the course. Life 110: "Getting It To- Byrd's Eye View Gabrielle Byrd gether." The course will be an in in-depth depth look at how to efficiently use a day planner and how not to lose it during the semester. Life 188: "Taking Advantage of Mail-Order. " No illegal activity will be discussed during the se semester, mester, but rather how students can legally use catalogs, music clubs and magazine subscription forms to their benefit. Life 199: "Identification." Al Almost most earning sophomore status, however not yet 21, will greatly affect the need for fake I.D. 's. This course will instruct students as to the best way to make, sell and use fake I.D.'s. Note: A lab is required for the course. Life 212: 'Tersonal Finances: Dealing With Money and a Lack of It." The focus of this class is how tocontinually getmoney from your parents without them mind minding. ing. Life256: "Life Literature: Sun Sunday day Comics." Even Life majors must fulfill a literature require requirement, ment, so this course is offered. It will deal with the plots, charac characters, ters, symbolism and diction in comic strips. Life 323: "Sounding Smart." The class will emphasize how to be aware of current events if you don't have time to read the news newspaper paper or watch the news. An Another other main topic will be how to write a paper quickly, but not let professors know. Life 400: "Advanced Per Personal sonal Finance:.: Money after Graduation." Definitely much harder than Life 212, this class will spend time on how to not have to pay back college loans and how to cheat on taxes. Life 499: "Life Senior Semi Seminar: nar: How to Save the World Af After ter Graduation and Still Earn Money," Life majors are also re required quired to take a senior seminar. This one will emphasize that with a diploma it is realistic to want to fulfill your dreams and be rich. Life 499: "Life Senior Semi Seminar: nar: How to Move up i n the Busi Business ness World Without Starting at the Bottom or Middle." Another senior seminar option for those more interested in business will instruct students on how they can graduate from college and lie lie-come come the president of a company and reach CEO by age 24. Life 499: "Life Senior Semi Seminar: nar: How to Become a Million Millionaire aire Without Working." The third senior seminar option, thiscourse will allow students the chance to investigate making money with without out working. Amnesty International sexist, pro-drugs Amnesty International is a glo global bal Human Rights advocacy group which is greatly re respected spected by governments and institu institutions tions worldwide. They often mobi mobilize lize mass support for individuals who have no other recourse but to face what society deals them. Amnesty has organized protests in the past that have scared governments into halting persecution of the defense defenseless. less. Or so Amnesty would have us believe. Sarah Balabagan is a 16 year old girl from the Philippines, who was working as a maid for an Arab fam family ily in the United Arab Emirates. She has just been sentenced to death by the High Court in Abu Dhabi for killing her employer after he raped her. Pro-government newspapers in the Emirates call it a great victory for justice and accuse Balabagan of ingratitude. Traveler's Tale YameenA. Ali But, the killing blow was actu actually ally dealt by Amnesly International. They have been remarkably silent in this regard. There is no mention of Balabagan. Why, one may ask, is this the case? Consider another case. Hussain Munir was a drug smuggler, whose trafficking was gaining in notoriety at the time he was married. His wife found out too much information about his activities and became a liability for him. He then brutally murdered her and hid her body in a ditch. The courts sentenced him to death, and Amnesty arrived there with a vengeance. They mobilized thousands of respected citizens worldwide, includingTed Kennedy, to write letters to the Government asking for a pardon. Munir's sen sentence tence held and he was executed, but Amnesty made him a martyr. There is something wrong with protecting destructive elements in society while not defending the downtrodden. Is Amnesty International not only sexist, but also prone to pro protecting tecting drug lords and big business interests? Perhaps it's lime for Amnesry International to reconsider its role in international society.

Students raised $100 and donated a substantial amount of canned food. After randomly receiving as assignments signments to first, second or third world countries, students sat in the corresponding areas. Those who received third world tags sat on the floor in the back and had to crane their necks to see the speakers at the front of the room. Before the speakers, a student from each group read facts about the income level they represented. According to Christy Montgom Montgomery, ery, a representative of the third world group, the average person in a third world country earns approxi approximately mately $600 a year.

Professors Bill Smaldone, Richard Hall, Roger Durham and Chaplain Charlie Wallace comprised the panel. Alex Rodinsky assembled the panel as part of Operation Dream. Each panel member expressed their personal feelings about the issue before opening the floor to questions. Smaldone began by ask asking ing the audience if they had ever personally been involved in a vio violent lent conflict. He expressed how easy it is to talk about violence on a quiet college campus like Willamette, where few have ever been to war or faced violence locally. "It's very easy for us professors to talk about violence," said Smaldone. "We can sit back, above it all." He related to the audience the two times that he had been involved in violence. When Smaldone was a boy he had a paper route. One day a bigger kid jumped him, beat him up and stole his money. He tried to defend himself, but he was no match for his assailant. His second experi ASWU President D'mitri Palmateer passed the gavel to Speaker of the Senate Dave Will Williams iams yesterday after the amendment to the ASWU Constitution passed Wednesday with a 76 yes vote. He took full advantage of his new opportunity to vote and debate in the two resolutions presented to the Senate last night. The first of these was a resolu resolution tion to lighten up Senate meetings by having the newly voted Senate Jester, Vice President Gar Willoughby, end one out of every three meetings with something amusing. Examples given were the chicken dance or table dancing. This bill failed by two votes, although all members of the executive board (with the exception of Willoughby) voted yes.

He considers taking that job "a major mistake." He has come to the conclusion that, "when there is no other re recourse course available," violence is justi justified. fied. In places such as Haiti, where a tyrannical government is in power, Smaldone said, the only effective avenue available to citizens is orga organized nized violence. "I'll be quite frank with you, I'm rather cowardly," said Smaldone. He said that if he were ever personally had to fight, run running ning away seems like an excellent idea. As a professor, Richard Durham enjoys asking tough questions, not answering them. He said that the question of violence is one that he is constantly struggling with. Durham pointed out the fact that the ques question tion changes when applied to dif different ferent scenarios, which makes it all the more difficult. He expressed his problems with violence. First, he said, violence is a perpetual matter. "Violence tends to escalate rather than solve (a situation)," said Durham. Secondly, he said"If you fight violence with violence, it makes you no better than your op opponent." ponent." Durham said that violence is night brought on much debate.

Palmateer told of farm owners keeping their work workers ers on the farm by use of guns. Apparently these workers are forced to live on the properties, and the rent is taken directly from their checks. The rent is often more than the check, and the workers remain permanently in debt. Senator Jon West was concerned that this was outside the jurisdiction of the Senate. Senator Perry Martin felt that voting on this would be a way of clearing senators con consciences, sciences, and that it wouldn't have any effect. Despite these negative views, the resolution passed by a large majority of 19 - 4 - 5. The guest speaker for the night was the Dean of Residence Life, Jim Bauer.

Hall then quoted Machiavelli when he said, "Vio "Violence lence exists - use it." Hall said that he agrees with the first part of that statement but not the second. He also said that he agrees with Frederick Douglass' statement that the people in power aren't going to give it up without a fight. "Violence is natural as a last resort to those who have exhausted all other means," said Hall.

The Collegian November 17, 1995 faking a closer look 8 Professor Linda Heuser recently took lier Social Research Design class into the Writing Center for a consultation, nut no one there consulted tliem. Instead, it was tke members of her class who were consulting the Writing Center - on such issues as reaching their audience, developing their ideas and making necessary changes. In an effort to help improve the writing program at Willamette and pro provide vide students with a hands-on opportu opportunity nity to engage in social research, the class is conducting research on the Writing Center. Before starting the research, the class talked with Writing C enter supervisors to find out what research should he done. This helped form four groups which each researched one aspect o fthe Writing Center. The four aspects were faculty expectations of what the Writ Writing ing Center can he used for, student expectations, attitudes and goals of the writing consultants and the satisfaction of those who have use d the Writing Center. The groups which measured expectations and writer satisfaction used surveys as the instruments to con conduct duct their researc h. The group col collecting lecting data on consultants used an interview as their research instru instrument. ment. Heuser feels that despite time constraints, the surveys and inter interview view the students created were good. "I'm pretty pleased with what the students developed in terms of their research instruments. We only have a semester to do this, and when you take th is into consideration, Ith they've done a great joh," she said. The student satisfaction group's survey attempted to determine the feelings and attitudes of those who had used the Writing Center. Among other things, the group hopes to learn w hat people thought of the C enter s environment, if the gender of the consultant had affected the experi experience, ence, and if students had any sugges suggestions tions on how to improve the pro program. gram. In attempting to determine what services students thought the Center should provide, the student expecta tion group sampled about 500 stu students dents who may or may not have used the Writing Center. The group which interviewed con consultants sultants is now comparing the inter interviews views to find the consultants major concerns. They hope to find ways to improve the course the consultants are taking and any changes the con consultants sultants believe would improve the Writing Center. Through the course of the re research search the class hopes to rind aspects of the program that can be im improved. proved. According to Nancy Doerfler, a member of the group determining consultants' attitud es and goals, "what we hope to find through interviews with the consult consultants ants is how satisfied they are with the course they're taking, as well as find find-ing ing out some things they would like to change in the Writing Center and things that are going well." Doerfler hopes that through the research, members of the Willamette community will Letter understand what the Writing Center is for and that the Writing Center will 1 earn how to communicate hetter with the campus. Travis Rice, who is working on the student expectations aspect of the research, feels that the Writing Center supervisors will use the infor information mation gained through the research to improve the program. "The people who run (the Writing Center) are totally open to molding it how the people of Willamette want it," he said. Data collection was comp leted last week, which brings the class to data analysis. The results of the research will he released in Decem December. ber. In addition to this project, Karen Lang don, a 1991 Willamette gradu graduate ate who is now a graduate student in E nglish at Central Washington Uni University, versity, is conducting research on the Writing Center as part of her master's thesis. "My focus for the thesis is tke extent to which a writing community is developed within the faculty in the program s first year," Langdon said. by Travis Brouwer, staff writer Profile of peer consultants 0 ; t ilil!Wlml To hest accommodate students from all majors at the Writing Center, student consultants were culled from a variety of backgrounds and academic disciplines. They were then trained in consulting techniques. "To get a qualified staff, I first e-mailed the faculty, and asked them for suggestions of students that they thought would he a good addition to our staff, " said English Professor Eleanor Berry. "After I got hack responses, I e-mailed the students that were suggested to me. I tried to get students with even' Jiff erent kind of major, so that there would he someone here for even' consultation need. After I got replies hack from the students, I had tl lem enro 11 in the class that I teach called Composition Theory and Pedagogy, which is Writing 330. 1 his course was preparation for work at the Writing Center. ' In the training course, consultants learned how to work with subject matter that they may not he familiar with. By asking questions of the writers about their writing topic, the writer is then forced to explain the suhject in clear terms and this in turn lends clarity to their writing. Though recommended to the Writing Center hy faculty members, the consultants had varied reasons for taking the class and beginning work at the Writing Center. Senior Chris Storey, a writing consultant, feels that the operations of the Writing Center are going "surprisingly well. " He has personally seen people come hack with improvement in their writing after only one session. Storey said that he was motivated hy an impulse to hecome a hetter writer while helping others to do the same, and that he is "enjoying and still learning" from hecoming a writing consultant. - Davin Kuhota, a sophomore consult- . ant, sai d th at ne joine d the class to "-i ' "help people learn, not to teach " "" them, hut to help them learn to enjoy and benefit from their writing." oenior Rohert B rown decided to work at the Writing Center as a transition hack to life at Willamette. Brown spent last year abroad in Munich, and got hack into the swing of things hy taking Composition Theory and Pedagogy. He adds that he is somewhat interested in hecoming a teacher or a professional writer. Brown's specialty is literary criticism. Consultants have also found that working in the Writ Writing ing Center has helped them to develop their personal writing skills as we 11. With a douhle major in Economics and Rhetoric and Media Studies and a minor in Politics, St orey has discovered that he has a strong basis for working with argumentation in writing. He likes being able to help people strengthen their support for their thesis, and in turn has strengthened his own skills. J unior Jamie Brown, a Politics major, sees himself in a unique position and he said being a writing consultant is "worthwhile," especially since Politics involves a great deal of writing. by Laura Foster, staff writer Firsth; Expecting an inti feeling of defeat, I er apprehension.

Majors like Home Eco Economics nomics and Aerospace Studies had their high points in the late 1950s, while Environmental Science and Exercise Science are picking up speed now. However, for the past five years the most popular major on campus has continually been EconomicsBusiness Economics. Politics, English, History and Psychology round out the top five majors. "Economics and Politics have always been popular programs, but our most recent growth has been in the depart department ment of History," said Lawrence Cress, Dean of Liberal Arts. Bill Duvall, Chair of the History Depart Department, ment, attributes the growth in History majors to a expanded and improved program. "In recent years the hiring of Professors Smaldone, Eisenberg and Zhao have added good, young professors who are role models of scholarship and academics." Besides history, the numbers of majors in Environmental Science, Exercise Science and Sociology have steadily increased. While these three areas still graduate relatively small num numbers, bers, the percentage of students in these ma majors jors has grown three to ten times in the last five years. Cress said most departments often expe rience times of growth and shrinkage in the number of majors, so Willamette tries to con continually tinually offer a balanced program. "A depart department ment is not encouraged or required to gradu graduate ate a certain number of majors. Just last year, only three people graduated with a Religious Studies major but this department is still pro provides vides a valuable service for Willamette. The Religious Studies department offers General Education classes and elective classes," said Cress. Besides Religious Studies, the other areas with the least amount of majors are American Studies, Physics and Theater. "I'm not sur surprised prised that they are not very many American Studies majors. I don't think a lot of people even know about it. I'm an American Studies major because this major examines content in an interdisciplinary form," said Jeremy Hall. Even though there are departments that are traditionally small, rarely is a department eliminated due to a lack of student interest. According to Willamette Annuals, a source available in the Registrar's office, the only majors that have been eradicated in the last thirty years were Home Economics, Journal Journalism ism and Aerospace Studies (ROTC). "The decision to cut or add a major goes through debates in committees and votes by faculty and trustees. The faculty has a big say in the matter and many different groups discuss pros and cons," explained Cress. Another interesting aspect of students' Most popular majors Class of 1995 ITrknniTi!c Business econ EnSlish Psychology Pontics History choice of majors, besides which majors are popular, is the gender breakdown of different majors. Almost three times more men than women graduated last year with a major in Economic or Business Economics. Men were also eight times more likely to graduate with a major in Computer Science. In fact, there have been no Computer Science majors in the past five years. Women were four times more likely to graduate with a major in English or Psychol ogy. Women also dominated the fields of International Studies and Foreign Language. Staci Bennet, one of the only female Com Computer puter Science Majors on campus, noticed the lack of female professors who teach the classes for her major, but did not let that stop her from picking Computer Science for hermajor. "The sex of their professors might matter to some people, but not to me. I expected there not to be very many female professors in the Com Computer puter Science Department," said Bennett. Terror-filled students search for employment future by Rindee Paul Contributor As the school year moves on, terror beats in the heart of most se seniors. niors. Doubt haunts their every wak waking ing moment, sometimes waking them late at night and they sit up screaming "what am I going to do when I get out of here?" Some careers are more popular choices with students than others. According to Occupational Outlook Quarterly, architects, dentists, finan financial cial managers, attorneys andjudges, marketing, advertising and public relations managers and psycholo psychologists gists are some of the fields being flooded with new members, and it's going to be harder to get a job in these fields due to market satura saturation. tion. On the other end of the scale are the jobs that, for now, have more positions than applicants. Computer scientists and systems analysts, counselors, funeral directors and physicians are some fields which will be wide open for applicants. However, the correct degree doesn' t mean automatically getting the job. Experience and good presentation is necessary. The Bureau of Labor and Statis Statistics tics predicts that between 1992 and 2005, 18 million college students will begin looking for jobs. However, only 14 million jobs will re require quire a college education. This means that over 20 of new graduates will likely take a job they are overqualified for. This will result in a large number of students taking jobs." These jobs may look bad, but can in fact lead to something. These positions can introduce job seekers to potential employers, as well as 1 i i G -After I 1. raauciuon part four of a scries "junk give experience in the field.

Ten of the fifteen students in Libby Yocum's World Views class, now seniors, relived class discussions and exploits at a reunion potluck last weekend. Although they have gone their separate ways during the three years following their World Views experience, these former class classmates mates were amazed at the bonds among them. Senior Amanda Wright noted that class discussions brought the class together even from the first. "Ourscnsesofhumorsclicked, and we would lead the discussions the professor wouldn't sit up in front of the class and lecture." Willie Smith added "we would go take the discussion whercever we could.

I hadn't read the book at all, but I knew I had to discuss something, so I brought up the whole theory that aliens built the pyra mids and were respon responsible sible for the Mayan rel relics, ics, and we spent a whole day discussing it." "The professors had us do a debate where we were assigned dif different ferent characters across the novels. Shirley Tho Thomas mas was Rigoberta and she hadn't done any of the reading. She kept repeating 'My name is Rigoberta Menchu.' Rigoberta Menchu had just won the Nobel Peace Prize that year, and Shirley would add T won the Nobel Peace Prize, leave me alone' when someone disagreed with her that was her debate tactic, Wright added.

Florida u Reviews 11 November 17, 1995 Tlie Collegian Ace Ventura 2 spoils the whole show J0Voices 6 Rlrw Review In 1994 Jim Carrey starred in a relatively obscure B-movie made on a shoestring budget and directed by someone who even now skips my mind. That movie, Ace Ventura, Pet Detective wenton to gross nearly $150 million and put its star come comedian dian on the map. Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls, is just the mindless garbage audiences are going to flock to. The film opens harmlessly enough with a parody of Clifflianger - a moun mountain tain rescue of a plane-wrecked rac raccoon coon ends in tragedy as Carrey goes off to a Tibetan monastery to heal his spirit. Soon enough an African diplomat shows up offering Ace $20,000 to find the Watchoo's sa sacred cred white bat before war breaks out between a rival tribe. Of course as soon as the plot is introduced it falls apart into an utter mess. The real story becomes: watch Ace make fun of natives, watch Ace play with food, watch Ace make potty jokes and watch Ace make a funny catch phrase. At least the first movie kept enough plot going through the film to keep any anyone one with an IQ higher than ten in interested terested in the film. When Na ture Calls practi- cally becomes a parody of the first Ace Ventura flick. I can think of absolutely no reason to watch it except for Carrey himself. Carrey is a real talent. I thor thoroughly oughly enjoyed parts of The Mask and his co-starring role in Batman Forever. I even found parts o Na Nature ture funny. Carrey has a nice gift for comedic faces and poses unmatched by any comedian in the last twenty years. Unfortunately, in Ace Ventura: When If I worked on the Ace Ventura movie set, it would take me approximately twenty seconds around Ace before I pulled out a gun and shot him. Nature Calls, Carrey is a self self-indulgent, indulgent, child childish, ish, obnoxious brat running around a movie set looking for attention. If I worked on the Ace Ventura movie set, it would take me approximately twenty seconds around Ace before I pulled out a gun and shot him. In Nature Calls, the only thing holding Carrey back is the rolling credits. Carrey takes his Ace char character acter and stretches him to the point of utter shamelessness and the jokes quickly become trite and scatologi scatological cal rather then inventive. I felt like I was watching some egomaniac performing artist have a camera fol follow low him around while he cohorts with other strangers. The film also lacks a strong fe female male lead that Courtney Cox (Friends) provided in the first film. Cox provided a contrast to Carrey's childish jokes and kept the plot moving, somewhat. I feel very sorry for the supporting actors Simon Callow, Ian McNeice and Bruce Spence. I would rather host an after school special on the South Ameri American can whooping crane then co-star in an Ace Ventura movie. I am sure this review will disap disappoint point millions of Carrey fans around the world, and I will eat my words when the film grosses over the $ 1 00 million mark, but I will not support crap such as this. Let us all pray that The Mask 2 is better, and Carrey finds something useful to do with all that money. Off Center Cafe offers retreat from centralized dining It took a while to find but it was u' worth it. Of course, I am talking about the Off Center Cafe, which is located in an obscure, dingy and forgotten shopping center on the corner of Center and 17th streets. What leads you to this remarkable place is a small "cafe" sign with an arrow directing you to the door, a sign that is like a message from the good food gods. Walking inside, I realized that this was going to be a fortuitous place. I have been searching for something like this, a breakfast niche that I can be happy at. The interior of the cafe is small but has lots of things to keep the eyes busy. Formica! Formica-that easy to clean surface-was everywhere I looked. The counter top and nearly all of the tables are covered in that endearing substance. The walls are adorned with surreal prints filled with vi vibrant brant colors. One wall was lucky enough to have a poster that de depicted picted Ronald Reagan cradling Margaret Thatcher in his arms in a Gone With the Wind motif. Eagerly, I sat down and began to check out the menu. There are intriguing items like "Bibble and Squib" and the "Green Chile Tor Tortoise." toise." For your imaginative exer exercise cise for the day, I'll just let you guess what they consist of. For my meal, I decided on a short stack of blueberry pancakes ($3.50), some fried potatoes ($1.50) and coffee (.750 with free refills). My waiter was a large and boisterous man with a beard, and he never gave me those pangs of fear that a scary waiter can. It wasn't too busy and I had the luck of sitting in front of an angst angst-ridden ridden boy in corduroys and a scarf. My coffee was delicious, and the cream that came with it wasn't con contained tained in those dinky plastic things, but in an actual pitcher. What a delight! There were real flowers in the vase on the table, and a selection of salsa to spice up the food. My food arrived at a goodly pace, and I cheerfully dug into my potatoes. I poured some of the spicy salsa on half of them and left the other half "sans" salsa. This was a tasty way to go about things. Due to some communication glitch, my pancakes were not blueberry, but regular. This didn't slow me down, and the whole-wheat pancakes were savory, but not extraordinary. The hours of the Off Center Cafe are: Tuesday-Friday, break fast from 7 a.m.-l 1 a.m. and lunch from 11 a.m.-2:30 p.m. Saturday and Sunday have breakfast from 8 a.m.-2 p.m. Dinner is served on Thursday, Friday and Saturday from 6 p.m.-9 p.m. I am wholly pleased with the Off Center Cafe. I will cheesily say that you, the food-oriented reader, will be pleased with it as well. It may not be for the more conserva conservative tive types, due to the mass of liberal propaganda spread about the inte interior, rior, but if you're not too anal reten retentive, tive, it won't botheryou. Luckily, it seems that if I continue to go back there, I will be able to become a "regular." I can only hope that this will be achieved. I await the day when I can walk in and be recog recognized nized and greeted by the server. Until then, I'll just be "that girl" that comes in with a frequency that is almost alarming. New David Bowie album stinks all the way home from the store CD Review iJ Recently, Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails announced publicly that the one artist that has influenced him more than any other is David Bowie. Much to Reznor's pleasure, Bowie invited Nine Inch Nails to be Bowie's opening act on his current tour. Oddly enough the result wasn't a new mellowed-out Reznor, but instead it was a newly defined Bowie that is trying his damnedest to be Reznor. This is most evident on David Bowie's most recent theme album, "Outside." If it all sounds too odd, don't distress because it is. Bowie is prob probably ably better known for all of the times that he has redefined his stage persona than for his occasionally incredible musical ability. On this album, Bowie fails on both fronts. Nay, he fails miserably on both fronts. Unlike Reznor, who I fully believe is naturally evil, Bowie had to create an entirely new time, place and character in which he could take on an evil, sadistic persona. Within this setting Bowie stages a pseudo rock opera where each song is somehow interwoven into one common plot, a tactic used by Styx on the classic "Mr. Roboto" album. Bowie chooses London in 1999 at the end of the millennia, which is probably the most clichdd of all time settings, for his overly dark apocalyptic story. Bowie's character, Nathan Adler, is a detec detective tive professor who works for Art Art-Crime Crime Inc. This firm is in charge of inves investigating tigating murders and determining whether they were done in an artis artistic tic manner. At this time, artistic murder is a protected art by England's version of the National Endowment of the Arts. This con concept cept is bound to get Senator Helms' panties in a bunch. The use of such a rigid plot, although intriguing, definitely works against Bowie. He seems more concerned about main maintaining taining a specific story line and over overtone tone than he is with making engag engaging ing music that doesn't all sound homogenous. Unfortunately forBowie,hehas produced an annoying, bland and unnatural sounding album. It seems like it is painful forhim to make this style of music, but he recognizes that in order to sell albums to today's youth, one must scare the bejeezes out of them. Basically this has all been built upon the Kiss legacy. Reznor has built upon this legacy and has perfected it for the youth of thel990's. Bowie has tried to place his own twist on this genre and has made himself look fool foolish. ish. He ends up looking as unnatural as President Clinton trying to use gangsta rap terms when addressing the youth of Compton. Imagine Bill Clinton throwin' down this dope track: "What Newt and dis new tripped out Congress be kickin ya is whack. Doze Hos better watch der back cuz I gonna put a cap in der ass." Better yet, it is like having Michael Bolton on a Led Zeppelin tribute album crooning his heart out. Not to continue trying to one up myself, but it is reminiscent "What Newt and dis new tripped out Congress be kickin ya is whack. Doze Hos better watch der back cuz I gonna put a cap in der ass." of the University of Oregon's Marching Band playing Green Day's "Basket Case" at half-time of football games. Stick with what you know and stop trying to screw everything up by going against your musical nature. If I were " forced to de- t e r m i n e which song on this al album bum I found most toler tolerable, able, I would agree with the record ex- ccutivesand choose the first single from the album, "The Heart's Filthy Lesson." The minimal joy that I gained from listening to this song, was ruined as soon as I saw the video for this song which is a direct rip-off of Nine Inch Nails ' "Closer" video. Bowie needs to realize that when someone claims you as an influ influence, ence, it is because of what you have accomplished and not necessarily an invite foryou to attempt to mimic their style.

The way that the Bearcats played in last weekend's Northwest Conference of Independent Colleges (NCIC) qualifier, there was no hope at all. Both Pacific and George Fox went from hopefuls to hopeless at the hands of the Bearcats. The two Bearcat victories moved their record to 26-7 overall, but more impor importantly tantly gave them an automatic berth intothis weekend's NAIA Division II Far West Regional at Carroll College in Helena, Montana. Willamette, the No. 1 seed, opened the qualifier against No. 4 seed Pacific, in a match that was over before it began. The Bearcats had trounced the Boxers twice dur during ing the conference season, and made quick work of Pacific once again, as they played a nearly flawless match. The Bearcats were in control from the beginning, as they cruised to an easy 15-7, 15-4, 15-1 victory. Willamette was so dominating that Pacific' looked like a poor high school team throughout most of the match. "I was proud of our women," said Head Coach Marlene Piper. "I could tell these kids were on a mis mission." sion." Senior outside hitter Brandi Row, who the night before had been named the NCIC Player of the Year for the second straight time, justi justified fied the award, racking up 15 kills, three service aces, three block as assists sists and 15 digs. Also named to the NCIC first team was junior outside hitter Ali Alicia cia Wright, who had a team high 1 8 kills to go along with three block assists and 12 digs. Two other Bearcats who were selected to the NCIC second team also made key contributions.

Fresh Freshman man setter Kathy Fisher chipped in two kills, 23 assists, five block as assists sists and seven digs. Junior setter Stacey Kruger came off the bench to add 1 6 assists and four digs as well. Although the Bearcats' indi individual vidual contributions were numer numerous, ous, the key to their victory was the overall team performance. Wil Willamette lamette hitting percentage was a solid .430, and the Bearcats did not commit a single service reception error. With their victory over Pacific, the Bearcats moved into the cham championship pionship match against a George Fox team that rode the right arms of NCIC first team member Joanna Lofgren and NCIC second teamer Michelle Nelson to knock off Linfield in the other semifinal match. The winner would go to the regional tournament, while the loser would have to start thinking about next year. The Bearcats played a game of cat and mouse with George Fox in the first two games before they fi finally nally trapped the Bruins in the third game and gobbled them up. In the end, it was the Bearcats making the plane and hotel reservations, as they came away with a 15-10, 15-9, 15 15-1 1 victory and the automatic berth to the regional tournament. It looked like the Bearcats might be the ones looking towards the future, as a Lofgren and Nelson led George Fox team came out swing swinging ing and took the early lead. But the teams quickly switched personali personalities ties as the Bearcats began to block and dig George Fox's big guns. Once the Bruins' offense was sty stymied, mied, the Bearcats started to do some crushing of their own, as Row and Wright took over with constant monster kills. However, the Bearcats' momen momentum tum did not carry over into the sec second ond game, as George Fox once again jumped out to an early lead. Then Piper, who was selected as the NCIC take road trip to Whitman, Whitworth Women's teams performed well in competition. Coach Skip Kenitzer said, "This road trip is the most difficult meet situation of the year, but we still had strong swims from everyone." The Women ' s team won against Whitman (128-79) and lost for the first time this season to Whitworth (88-1 17), bringing their ' Excepl rice and electronic. w 1J k,. . . is.

Coach of the Year for the second time in two seasons, took things into her own hands by calling a timeout to settle her team down. "Only to refocus and indicate what they (Willamette) wanted to do," said Piper of the momentum momentum-changing changing timeout. The Bearcats obviously got the message, as they immediately be began gan to play like the team that had won four straight NCIC titles. Willamette once again shut down Lofgren and Nelson with stuff blocks and flawless digging. At the same time, the Bearcats multi-dimensional offensive attack began to consistently find George Fox's side of the floor. With their second game victory, the Bearcats pretty much sewed up the match, as a frustrated Bruin team looked ready to throw in the towel. Even if they hadn't, the Bruins had no chance in the third game, as the Bearcats could do no wrong, record to 1-1-1 in league competi competition. tion. The Women's team also sported several national qualifying performances at both meets. The Men's team proved outmatched at both Whitman's (132-69) and Whitworth's (113-85) meets. The Men's team, despite their slow 0-3 start, showed potential with several national qualifying swims last week weekend. end. The teams began the weekend Friday afternoon with their meet against Whitman College. The women's team dominated scoring from the start of the meet. The women's team won both the 400 medley relay and the 400 freestyle relay and achieved national quali qualifying fying times in both events. The medley relay of Erin Venable, Jen Hodges, Gerianne Mikasa and Danika Williams edged out the Whitman relay with a time of 4:19.64. The 400 freestyle relay com composed posed of Bonnie Bauer, Katie Jones, Rachel Cohen and Jen Hodges won their relay with a time of 3:54.92. Willamette's B relay in the 400 freestyle also qualified for nation nationals als with a time of 4:00.24, which was a second place finish in the event.

Row, play playing ing her final match in Cone Fieldhouse, had 21 kills, two ser service vice aces, a solo block, four block assists and 12 digs. Wright was just as impressive, pilling up 24 kills, two solo blocks, three block assists and eight digs. Wright and Row had impressive hitting percentages of .490 and .430 respectively. As a team, Willamette hit .440. Many other individual perfor performances mances stood out, such as Phelps' nine block assists, Fisher's 23 as assists sists and six block assists, Kruger's 24 assists, senior Sarah Pitcher's five biock assists and freshman Rosie Allen's team-leading three solo blocks and 10 block assists. One noticeable trend is the Bearcats' impressive blocking to totals. tals. In fact that may have been the most significant statistic, as it led to formances came from freshman Katie Jones who won the 1650 freestyle and the 500 freestyle. Her 1650 freestyle was also a national optional time and only .5 seconds away from the automatic qualify qualifying ing time. Other first place performance came from Jean Orth in the 200 freestyle, Bauer in the 50 freestyle, Mikasa in the 100 freestyle and Hodges in the 200 butterfly. Sec Second ond place finishes included Erin Smith in the 1650 freestyle, Will Williams iams in the 200 freestyle, Mikasa in the 50 freestyle, Cohen in the 400 individual medley, Venable in the 200 backstroke and Amy Richards in the 200 breaststroke. An auto automatic matic national qualifying time was posted by Hodges in her 200 butter butterfly fly and optional qualifying times were achieved by Richards in her 200 breaststroke and Cohen in her 400 IM. The Men's team struggled in competition against Whitman, who proved to be a powerful opponent. Willamette's only first place fin finisher isher in the men's meet was Cary Cox in the 200 backstroke. Second place finishes were posted by Al Biss in the 50 free, LeifMcElliott in the 200 backstroke, A the shutting down and frustration of the Bruins' Lofgren and Nelson. "I wasn't stressing straight down," said Piper of the Willamette blocking. "I just wanted them to get a touch so we could dig them (Lofgren and Nelson)." Willamette will find outjust how far they can go today as they take on Lewis & Clark State from Lewiston, Idaho. Lewis & Clark State has been ranked towards the top of the polls, not only in the region, but in the nation all season. Not only is Lewis & Clark State a talented team, but they are a mystery to Piper and her team, because they haven't seen them play this season. "They're a good team," said Piper. "It comes down to us playing the match on our side." If the Bearcats can knock off Lewis & Clark Slate, they will take on Western Oregon, who also wrapped up a spot in the regional last weekend. Scott Cummings in the 500 free and Kjell Moline in the 200 breaststroke. Whitworth's Women team proved to be Women' s biggest chal challenge lenge of the year. Despite the loss to Whitworth, the Women's team posted some very good swims. Highlights included Cohen, who won the 200 IM with a national qualifying time, and Mikasa, who won the 50 freestyle with a national optional time, as well as placing second in the 100 freestyle with a national qualifying time. Second place finishers included Orth in the 1 000 freestyle, Jones in the 200 and 500 freestyle -and Venable in the 200 backstroke. The men posted perhaps their best meet of the season against Whitworth, competing well with the talented Whitworth team.

Willamette lost to Simon Frasier in the final round of the regional tournament. When asked about her goals for next season, Heard commented that the team "should again win the conference and go to nationals." For herself, "I hope to keep improving to be the best." A transfer from Portland State, Heard had a landmark season in her first year at Willamette. As the goalkeeper on the All-Conference first team, she averaged 0.75 goals against per game, allowing only 1 5 goals in 20 games on her way to 1 1 shutouts for the season. Her shutout total beats the record of nine set by Wendy Walker in 1 989 and tied last year by Laura Matsumoto. When asked about her feelings on breaking the record, Heard remarked, "It's nice, but I probably should have had more." Yet another goal for next season. Sophomore Jamie Barton, a forward, commented, "Robin is a great goalie in tight games, like the one against Whitworth in the Conference Finals, she really provides a sense of security." Barton also said, "It's great practice for us to shoot on Robin, because we know that if we can score on Robin, we can score on anyone. She's definitely an All-American player."

A Bearcat team that returns six players who saw significant play playing ing time last season and is putting in a strong effort no w only means more trouble for their opponents once the season starts. The main problem in the young season has been that only five play players ers can be on the floor at once. Finding out just who will be playing is a problem that James doesn't mind dealing with.

In last year's regional tournament, the Bearcats lost to Westmont, the host team, in the finals. This year, Willamette hoped to avenge this loss while playing on a neutral field, in true Northwest weather. The Bearcats succeeded, defeating Westmont by a score of 3-0.

To this group of die-hard fans, the players extend their thanks. "We would like to thank our fans who drove all the way from Salem. They were great." Looking back upon the past year, coach Jim Tursi commented, "We had a great year playing with 1 6 new players. We never could have guessed at the beginning of the season that we would get to the finals again. I think the season turned out well." Adding to Tursi's comments, Assistant Coach Jon Bullock stated, "It was impressive watching the team this year go from 0-2 at the begin beginning ning to the point of being competi competitive tive with one of the top teams in the nation."

The Bearcats took control early on by being the first team on the scoreboard when receiver Jerry Bushman caught a 31 yard pass from Pinkerton for a touchdown. Pinkerton than ran for a PAT, which was good. Sophomore tailback Danny Osborne rushed 191 yards in the game, including a 72-yard touch touchdown down pass, the second touch touchdown down of the game. Including his yardage from Saturday's game, Osborne ran 1045 yards for the season. The Pioneers tried to catch up in the second with a touch down on a twelve yard pass, but the Bearcats answered back in the third quarter with a touchdown on a three yard run by Matt Traeger. Lewis & Clark had another touchdown in the fourth, but Pinkerton rushed for 24 yards to chalk the Bearcats another six points on the scoreboard. Turnovers were key to the win Saturday. "We had good follow through with turnovers," said Brittan. "It seemed like since it was our last game, we paid a lot of attention to getting them. When you getso many people around the ball you are li liable able to have a lot of turnovers." The coaching staff was im impressed pressed with Willamette's defen defensive sive performance. "I thought they did a great job. When you get that many turnovers you are going to help your team out," Hawkins said. "We shut own their running game. We managed to shut the door on them several times." Sophomore linebacker Jon Franco had a phenomenal game wi th 13 Bearcats earn honors Although the team did not secure the at-large bid it was hoping for to the playoffs, a dozen Bearcat players were given the respect they deserved when league awards were given. Willamette's third year Head Football Coach Dan Hawkins was also awarded the Coach of the Year Award. Sophomore transfer Jon Franco, a linebacker from California, was named the Mount Hood League Defensive Player of the Year. He had 1 2 tackles forlosses including seven sacks during the season, both of which were team highs. He also recovered three fumbles, forced another fumble and had an interception this season. Sophomore tailback Danny Osborne, who ran over 1 ,000 yards this season as of Saturday's win over Lewis & Clark, senior split end Geoff Huetten, senior offensive tackle Matt Ncal, sophomore place place-kicker kicker Gordon Thomson, senior defensive back Chris Prange and sophomore defensive tackle Rodney Wood all joined Franco in being awarded first team honors. Players, although pleased by the fact that seven members of the team were nominated for First Team honors, felt that several other players also deserve the honor. "I think that there were a lot of people that could have gotten it that didn't, but we did well overall," Osborne said. Huetten felt that everyone who was awarded First Team de deserved served it, but added, "I think that Brittan deserves All-American. That guy is phenomenal on the field." Sophomore quarterback Chuck Pinkerton, offensive guards jun junior ior Adam Ballard and senior Mike White, senior linebacker Matt Brittan, senior defensive back Chris Frazier and senior defensive end Keith Grames were all named to Second Team All League. Hawkins was pleased with the first and second team picks, with one exception. "The only guy I thought got left off was Matt Brittan," Hawkins said.

Senior linebacker Matt Brittan and senior defensive end Keith Grames both caused fumbles for Lewis & Clark. The Bearcats rushed 315 yards in the win. Although Willamette came away with a win Saturday, some players were not completely con content tent with the team's performance. "I don't think we were consis consistent tent throughout the game," said se senior nior split end Geoff Huetten. "The defense played an excel lent game, they got us a lot of turn turnovers, overs, and gave us a lot of opportu opportunities nities to score. I think the footing in the field did have something to do with it, but we made some mistakes we shouldn't have. We didn't play badly, but we didn't capitalize on some of the opportunities we had." Sunday, the No. 18 Bearcats, who finished their season 6-2-1 overall and 4-0-1 in league, waited for their fate to be decided. Head Defensive Coordinator Bob Gregory was the bearer of bad news when he had the task of. informing the team that they had not re received ceived the at at-large large bid they had been hop hoping ing for to the playoffs. Although Willamette's defense had played an out outstanding standing game and the offense had followed through Satur Saturday, day, it was not enough to give the No. 18 na nationally tionally ranked Bearcats a shot in the playoffs. Last week's 35-35 tie against Pa Pacific cific Lutheran, who is ranked No. 15 this week and is in the playoffs, hurt the team's chances of get getting ting in. A win over PLU would have ensured the team a play playoff off spot, but af after ter tying with PLU, the two team's split the Val Valley ley League title because of their identical 6-2-1, 4-0-1 in league records. PLU's win over Central Washington and Willamette's loss to Central determined who took the "solid" playoff spot. Players feel that they should have and could have gone to playoffs. "I think that we are the best team in the league that is not in playoffs," said Brittan. "We're the best team in our league for sure, and definately the best team in the nation not in the playoffs."

As they did last week against U of O the men started fast, tackling hard and dic dictating tating the tempo of the game. The first half ended in a scoreless tie and with their aggressive play Wil lamette looked to be in good posi position tion to earn a victory. However, in the second half, after scoring first, the team began to slow down and allowed Reed to first tie the score and then take the lead for good with a few minutes left in the half. The women, missing several of their key players, were forced to field a mostly freshman team and were handled fairly easily by a well well-coached coached Reed team. Considering their lack of expe experience, rience, the women played quite well. The forward play has improved ev every ery week and the backs were able to move the ball better than they had in previous weeks, despite the slip slippery pery conditions. Forwards Rose Mikesh, Laurel Clausen and Liz Christie thrived in the inclement conditions - perfect rugby conditions, according to the players - enjoying the opportunity to "trample Reed players into the mud." The defense still showed holes however. Missed tackles have plagued the women in their first few games and continued to do so against Reed. In both games the referee was liberal with the whistle, slowing down the pace of the games and constantly making the players scrum down in mud which frequently gave way, causing the scrums to collapse time and time again. Next Saturday the Women's team will host Evergreen State Col College lege in the quad while the men will travel to Washington to take on Whitman.
