Eighty students appeared to be in Jackson Plaza for the event, and another 40students were lying on the grass nearby. About 25 students from Reed College also attended the rally. Dahl, who coordinated the event, began the forum by explaining that the rally was intended to address state House Bill 2893, which would create a new state-funded tu tuition ition assistance grant program in Oregon for ',-iS private colleges and universities, as well as proposals on the federal level by the General Accounting Office to cut grant assistance. t 10 .

The intent of this program is to assist those Oregonians with financial need who desire to attend in-state private colleges and universities. "This bill will directly benefit Willamette University because mostly Oregon residents go here," said Dahl. She added that students need to show their support for the Oregon legislature's proposals while protesting U.S. Congress efforts to cut funding. On the federal level, House Republicans are seeking to cut $1.7 billion from the $34 billion budget which has already been appro appropriated priated for the Department of Education.

Jim Bunn of Or Oregon egon broke from Republican ranks to oppose the welfare reform pack package, age, warning that cutting off aid to pregnant teenagers would lead to more abortions. "We need to discourage illegiti illegitimacy, macy, but not encourage pregnant women to abort their child," Bunn said Friday. The conservative freshman con congressman gressman who is strongly anti-abortion was one of only five Republi Republicans cans to oppose the welfare package approved on Friday and sent to the Senate. He said he advocates tax cuts, the balanced budget amendment, the line-item veto and most of the other planks in the OOP's "Contract With America." "I support the other nine items in the Contract and will do everything in my power to push those objectives through the House, but the welfare proposal is one I cannot support," he said in a statement after the vote. The Personal Responsibility Act, cornerstone of the GOP's social agenda, passed 234-199 after four days of debate. ". The bill would toss out 45 social programs and give money to the it states in five major block grants to design their own ways of taking care of the poor. States could not provide cash welfare for unwed teen-age mothers and their children or additional cash payments to support children born of parents already on welfare. Bunn said he also has concerns about the way the bill changes the national food stamp program and eliminates national nutritional stan standards dards in the school lunch program. "Worst of all, if an unwed teen teenager ager whose mother was on welfare decided to keep herchild, her mother would ac actually tually lose a por portion tion of her welfare benefits. If the mother could con vince her daugh daughter ter to abort, she could maintain her current welfare benefits," he said. Bunn said he scored a "limited success" when the House approved his amendment allowing states to give the vouchers to unwed teenage mothers, in place of cash, to buy necessities like baby bottles and clothes. But he said his conscience wouldn't allow him to support the' bill. "I still believe this bill will lead pregnant teenagers toward abortion. It also maintains the incentive for the parents who may be on welfare al already ready to encourage her daughter to abort her child to maintain their ben benefits," efits," he said. The bill includes an amendment by Rep.

"As our country is rav ravaged aged by teen pregnancy, drug use and urban decay, grandpar grandparents ents and other relatives are a treasury of love and concern that must be tapped if we are to help turn these young lives around," Wyden said. The welfare reform package re requires quires states to submit a written "Child Protection Program" in order to receive a child protection block grant.

Grants would be available for no more than five years of under undergraduate graduate study and only to stu students dents who have completed less than five years of education at the college level. The State Scholarship Com Commission mission would also be allowed to award tuition assistance grants to qualified residents in indepen independent dent schools.

The money in the Oregon Need Grant program is "awarded on the basis of family resources -in other words, income andhouse andhouse-hold hold size - and the size of the grant is based on the school you attend," said Beyer.

The amount of money in this program would be determi ned by the difference between in- and out-of-state tuition at the Univer University sity of Oregon. "We have esti-. mated that in this next biennium it would be about $7600," said Beyer. The money would be allo allocated cated equally to all qualified Or Oregon egon residents if the committee receives enough funding. "If we're given less money, then I trust that the legislature would give us further instruction" on how to allocate that money, said Beyer. The bill would exclude stu students dents working towards degrees in theology, divinity and religious education from receiving grants. "There are no students at Willamette or Linfield or Pacific that get impacted by this," said Beyer, noting that students at schools such as Western Baptist and Northwest Christian would be affected. However, Beyer said that this exemption would not be any dif different ferent from current grant assis assistance tance regulations. Facing the truth about social security, federal deficit by David S. Cloud Congressional Quarterly If Republicans and Democrats in Congress are as dedicated to eliminating the federal deficit as they profess, someday soon they will have to answer serious questions about the future of Social Security. Otherwise, neither party's promise to preserve Social Security or to balance the budget can be considered altogether credible. Congressional debates about Social Secu Security rity center almost entirely on charges that one party or the other is plotting to deny benefits to retirees or to loot the trust funds of payroll tax revenue. While deep cuts in Social Security are certainly possible in coming years, it won't happen because of some secret desire by elected officials; it will happen because Congress is left with no other choice. The relationship between Social Security and the deficit is not obvious. Thanks to big payroll tax increases enacted in 1977 and 1983, Social Security recovered from near-bankruptcy and is now taking in more revenue from workers' paychecks than it pays out in benefits every year. The result is a growing trust fund balance, expected to be about $900 billion by 2000, that many view as a nest egg to pay benefits for baby boomer retirees next century. The sur surplus plus is often used as justification for leaving Social Security alone. There are indeed good reasons to view Social Security as unique. No other program has such a broad base or such a strongly im implied plied contract: Workers sacrifice now in the form of payroll deductions for the security of benefits after they retire. And the program has an uncontested record of sharply reducing pov poverty erty among the elderly. But defending Social Security in isolation from the rest of the federal budget is as mis misleading leading as it is enticing. The truth is it's not likely that the budget can be balanced without affecting a program that now accounts for more than a fifth of all federal spending. Why can't Social Security be left alone as long as it is self-financing? For openers, a program of Social Security's immensity $330 billion in fiscal 1994 consumes tax revenue that could otherwise go toward reduc ing the deficit, if Congress didn't have to keep payroll taxes at such high levels to finance the Social Security system. Some of those benefits are going to retirees who, by any definition, are well-off. In 1990, families with income above $100,000 received more than $8 billion in Social Security benefits. The logic of capturing some of that money for deficit reduction proved inescapable in 1993, when Congress raised taxes on some upper-income retirees by taxing more of their Social Security benefits. House Republicans now want to repeal that tax increase. There seems to be no appetite for scaling back Social Security benefits among recipi recipients ents further down the income scale. And the other option increasing payroll taxes does not seem likely. Yet the longer Congress and the White House delay dealing with the deficit, the greater the threat to Social Security's long-term exist existence. ence. The reason rests with what is happening to all those surplus dollars Social Security is now accumulating. The trust funds are being in invested vested in U.S. Treasury bonds, with the prom promise ise that the money plus interest will be paid back next century. In other words, the govern government ment is borrowing from the Social Security trust funds and eventually will have to repay... those funds. ? .. . ";.- But continuation of massive borrowing from now until then will only make it harder to ; repay the obligations when the baby boomers -retire. .'. ... . When will this demographic crunch hit? Baby boomers will begin to retire around 20 1 0. According to the 1994 Social Security Board of Trustees report, the trust funds will not run dry until 2036, absent further congressional action. But the fiscal strain will actually arrive much sooner beginning around 2013, when the Social Security system starts drawing heavily on interest payments from all that money the Treasury has been borrowing. If the federal government is still running a deficit, making those interest payments to the . Social Security trust funds will necessitate a massive addition to government borrowing, or a big income tax increase. All of the choices will be unappetizing a mountain of additional debt, angry workers asked to more heavily subsidize retirees, or sharp cuts in Social Security benefits. And any effort by today's politicians to segregate So Social cial Security from the rest of the budget will matter not a whit.

It appears that Mr. Cable blames the lack of Glee participation (during the last several years) on the nature of the activity, i.e., a marching and singing competition. But Mr. Cable's disparaging comments re reveal veal a lack of considered evalua evaluation, tion, and an attitude that I hope does not exist in one who fancies himself as a liberal arts student. Rather than simply trash a revered Willamette tradition, I hope that Mr. Cable, and those who might agree with him, would contribute some thought and energy to reviving Glee. The starting point of Mr. Cable's misperception is his assumption that during his few years at Willamette, he has experienced, and can accu accurately rately divine, the pinnacle of art, culture, and fun. Oh, those poor, foolish, simplistic saps who enjoyed Glee for more than 80 years before Mr. Cable entered Willamette ! How could they possibly have believed that a musical and visual perfor performance mance which brought together di diverse verse elements of the Willamette community was fun? After all, Mr. Cable maintains, only paying off Glee bets, and exacting payment of those bets, is fun. I disagree with Mr. Cable. The fact that he has not experienced fun during Glee week is not the fault of the competition. The class of 1988, of which I am a member, relished Glee and its unique experiences. During all four years, we had over 100 participants each year; pur freshman year, 180 members or the class clogged the stage and belted out a sappy refrain for our alma mater. As our class matured, so did our song lyrics. We moved from singing about traditional themes to joking about diseases in the mill stream, poking fun at other classes, and taking stands on political issues and issues of University policy. Our music was not limited to fight songs; we sang everything from a gregorian chant and jazz-based choruses to a six-part zulu chant honoring the anti anti-apartheid apartheid forces in South Africa. As for marching, what a challenge and thrill to have the entire group of , participants learn how to march and move together. Getting 100 people to march, move, turn, shuffle, and double-step in unison is no less ex exciting citing than getting 1 1 people to move aball lOOyards to a goal line.

Finally, and most importantly, Glee brings the campus and classes together. It mixes greeks, indepen independents, dents, non-traditional, and off-campus students. It mixes education, history, psychology, music, and chemistry majors. It brings a com common mon purpose to a group of people who might otherwise never say "hi" to each other when they pass on the street ten years later. Glee is not only for the musically gifted. We always had numerous "tone-deaf and rhythmically-challenged par participants; ticipants; theirparticipation was not limited. In a word, Glee is "fun," for the person who is not too proud or too foolish to minimize that which she has not experienced. For the person who failed to participate, paying off Glee bets should be no more fun than paying off NCAA-pool bets, because the non-participating indi individual vidual has had no influence on the outcome. Obviously, Glee has some diffi difficulties. culties. Participation has dropped dramatically. Some faculty mem members bers oppose the activity (particu (particularly larly Blue Monday). And the tim timing ing of mid-terms makes it difficult for Glee participants to adequately prepare for their tests. (You should know that these problems have ex existed isted for a long period of time; don' t be fooled into believing that your woes are much different than the decades of students who came be before fore you.)

Opinion March 31, 1995 The Collegian Student input often underrated Last night I spoke with some disgruntled students who have been following the progress of the UC renovation project. (As usual, I haven't been paying much attention to the issues which do not concern me on a 24 hour a day, seven days per week basis.) I must admit that I was more than surprised to hear that negotiations have somehow ar arrived rived at a point of resolution: The UC, otherwise known as the student union, is currently set to house various administration of offices, fices, and almost no student or organizations. ganizations. Somehow this is alarming to me. Though the piles of boxes, charts and other mate materials rials rubbing up against the feet and desks of the staff in most administrative offices are easily seen and appear restless enough to lobby for space unassisted, I wonder whether such a radical move is in keeping with the origi original nal intention of the building. I sympathize with offices who have to store most of their files i n other buildings and whose eyes and shins are assaulted by extra material, but I still find it difficult to understand ho w a stu student dent task force so committed to preserving or even increasing "student based" space in the UC agreed to this arrangement with without out a murmur.

Whether a window needs to be fixed or construction quieted, nothing moves mountains like an irate grown-up. Apparently those two haven't finished kissing boo-boos and plas plastering tering band-aids, after all. If the heat needs fixing, the window won't close, or the registration time is too late, all we ladies and gentlemen need to do is call the ones who pay the bills - even if the loans and scholarships are in the name with jr. after it.

From the noncha nonchalant lant payroll system to the lei leisurely surely pace of maintenence work, (until parents become involved, that is) the assumption is far too often that Willamette students can and should rely on their par parents ents to help them out of sticky situations. Perhaps the bookstore employee summed up the gen general eral consensus last semester when the quote came out that Willamette students didn't re really ally want to buy used books be because cause they bought them with their "parents' credit card." It could be that I just hap happened pened to be behind the only three people in the school who used their own cards, but I doubt it. In fact, the debate over the absence or presence of financial inde independence pendence at Willamette is a heated one only because it should not be an issue. No matter who pays for the education, students should not have or even be en encouraged couraged to resort to parental intervention for any reason. A great portion of the college edu education cation is learning to become a responsible adult.

As I argued my point, it became clear to me that these fine people were scared. They were scared that an- Harshness often crucial for survival In the last few months, a couple dozen wolves were trapped in Canada and flown to the Yellowstone wilderness area. The plan was to release the wolves into the wild to return the area to the way it was historically. These wolves were flown to America and placed in large half-acre holding pens in order to acclimate them to their new surroundings before being released back into the wild. Food had to be provided so they would not starve. Last week the cages were to be opened and these wild predators of nature were to be released back into their element. The gates were opened but the wolves would not leave. After a few days of not feed feeding ing the wolves, they became hun hungry gry enough to leave their cages and reenter the wild environment to fend for themselves. This is an interesting examina examination tion of how quickly wild animals can be brought into a position of dependence. This ability to see where the free food is located is not limited just to wolves. Why do pi pigeons geons group around people? Why do bears approach cars? Why do homeless people beg for money where there is lots of foot traffic? Because they have all learned to go were they can find the easiest way to live. If people did not give food to pigeons or bears, they would not approach other people looking for handouts. If people begging for money were not given enough to other Hitler, or another Stalin would rise, and that the world would be, once again, unprepared to meet the challenge.

I believe the incident with the wolves drives home the point that sometimes the best thing you can do for someone is be a little harsh with them. By continuing to give money and food away without requiring anything in return people can quickly become dependent on the handout. The "meanness" people are talk talking ing about is troublesome. For ex example, ample, if someone gives you $ 100 a week that you can do anything with, and then after a year of this they cut it back to $50, you would think that was pretty mean. What you may not realize is that you are still getting $50 more than you were before. It is not easy to cut back ben benefits, efits, because nobody wants to cause someone else "pain."

NATO is the ultimate in entangling alliances. Included in NATO are nations such as Greece and Turkey, two hardly vital to American security.

News The ColUjian March 31, 1995 Professors regroup to discuss future of curriculum reforms The Working Group and its subcommittees try to synthesize their findings on everything from requirements to student life. by Charlotte Jones Staff Writer After a semester long fragmen fragmentation tation the Working Group on the Curriculum has come together again. Their focus groups have gathered enough knowledge and ideas about curriculum reforms to carry them through the summer. After it was first established, five focus groups broke off from the larger Working Group in order to deliberate different aspects of the curriculum. These focus groups, the Ethos committee, the Off-Campus Expe Experiences riences group, the Service Learning Task Force, the General Education group, and the Majors, Minors and Interdisciplinary Committee, were charged with the task of gathering information for the Working Group to utilize in its discussions on future reforms. Their work has completed ( CsS Curriculum YCr Review ? - i ! 4 the goals set forth by the Working Group for its first year. "The whole point of this first year was to hear as much as we possibly could," said Associate Dean Bob Hawkinson. "We're trying to get as much on the table as pos possible." sible." Each group held meetings to discuss changes and proposals relat relating ing to their aspect of the curriculum. The close of last semester left them with tentative conclusions about which issues within Willamette's curriculum the Work Working ing Group should regard as the most important. The Ethos Committee, which examined the role of extracurricular activities in Willamette students' lives, would like to reward students who participate in activities and en encourage courage those who don't to get in involved. volved. They would also like to maxi maximize mize each extracurricular experience by encouraging students to reflect on the activities in which they par participate. ticipate. One method of encourag encouraging ing this reflection would be to re require quire students to participate in a cer certain tain number of extracurricular ac tivity hours, or by offering credit for students who already participate. The Off-Campus Study Group has struggled to define what makes a multi-cultural experience. Accord According ing to Professor of History George McCowen, the group began to favor "a broad definition of what a multi-cultural experience is for students." Through this broader definition and through other reforms, the group hopes to make off-campus study a reality for more Willamette students. According to Rhetoric and Me Media dia Studies Professor Catherine Collins, the General Education group has worked from the central ques question, tion, "Are there some experiences we would hope all Willamette stu students dents have before they graduate?" Using this question as a guide, the group has searched for ways to enhance, or replace, Willamette's Part A and B requirements. The idea of clustering courses has come up in many of their proposals. They have also wrestled with the idea of proficiency and have wondered how necessary it is for Willamette to offer a Bachelor of Science degree. The Service Learning Task Force exists inde independently pendently of the Working Group, so its discussion and reform at attempts tempts will go on after its work for the Working Group has fin- w e've had a good year and we'll pull it together in the next few weeks to have a good summer," . JIUUU llUkl 1111 -Andrew Apter, ishednregards professor or I neatre to the working Group, however, the committee has discussed ways to encourage more students to participate in ser service vice learning projects and ways to incorporate service learning into more courses at Willamette. Though the Majors, Minors, and Interdisciplinary Programs commit committee tee has strayed from its original charge to inspect Willamette's ma majors jors program, it has nonetheless con contributed tributed to the important reforms being made. The group has crossed into the realm of general education require requirement ment reform, and has submitted pro proposals posals to the working group on the subject. Many of these proposals make use of the clustering idea, which has been suggested by other focus groups. Now that the Working Group has heard from the focus groups it entrusted to gather information, dis discussion cussion will take a new form. The group will start to look at a range of specific models. According to Theatre Professor Andrew Apter, "We've had a good year and we'll pull it together in the next few weeks to have a good summer." The research done on models from other universities will fuel the group's discussion. "We certainly have enough of a sense of what's working elsewhere, now we'll look at what's working for this institution and try to build on our strengths," Hawkinson said. Students gather in forum to teach teachers about life outside class by Charlotte Jones Stiff Writer Seven students were handed a golden op opportunity portunity Tuesday afternoon: the chance to give their professors advice. A forum entitled Teaching the. Teachers was put on by the Working Group on the Curriculum to gather information about what students do with the time they don't spend in class. A student panel shaped the discussion at the forum. Panelists were asked several ques questions tions by the faculty members present about extracurricular activities and about advice they would give to professors. Students were first asked to list the activi activities ties which they were active in and explain how they enrich the educational experience. Assistant Professor of Economics Jerry Gray threw out the question, "What is it that faculty should know about students' extracur extracurricular ricular lives at Willamette?" Keith Anderson, a Senior theater major, kicked off the discussion of this question with his disclosure that, "We try to get away with as much partying as possible." Most students agreed with another student's feeling that a blanket statement de describing scribing all Willamette students' experiences was not possible. Students encouraged fac faculty ulty to realize and appreciate the diversity of Willamette's students. Tim Eblen, a junior and actor in Willamette's theater, stressed the amount of time which extracurricular activities take up in a student's life. "We could really use sup support port from faculty on campus for what we're doing," he said. Several members of the panel also men mentioned tioned the need for faculty involvement in students' extracurricular lives. Mostexpressed the desire to see more connection between work done in class and activities offered around campus. One student pointed out that many ; events sponsored by faculty, such as speak speakers, ers, seem to happen without any link to the curriculum or subjects covered in courses. Theatre Professor Andrew Apter' s ques question tion about how each panelist's extracurricular activities helps further their educational goals opened a new discussion about the effects of friends and intellectual conversation outside of class. Carrie Whipple finds that "bouncing ideas I've discussed in class with other stu students dents from other schools" enriches her educa educational tional goals. Eblen believes that working with people during an activity and having good discus discussions sions enriches the experience and can also make a student more comfortable and confi confident dent in class. Another student even ventured to say that, "extracurricular activities can have a more lasting effect than class." His comment, and other descriptions of late night intellectual conversations given by panelists, prompted Gray to ask the panel if professors could facilitate this type of discussion in their classes. Each student seemed to have had a class which was more open than others. Junior Jan Muranaka, a politics and Japa Japanese nese studies major, said that she believed the best discussion was usually achieved by cre creating ating an open environment in class. "Once you create that atmosphere it (conversation) becomes very stimulating," she said. In response to the descriptions of how little free time most students have, Gray won wondered dered how likely it was that students could make time for more extracurricular events. According to senior Mark Furman, be because cause there is no central calendar of events, "You need to be active to realize what's going . on." He believes that events must have a selling point and should be publicized better. The next forum, The Freshman Experi Experience, ence, will focus on every student' s first year at Willamette. The discussion will be open fo forum rum and will center around the World Views program, Part A requirements, diversity and tolerance, the system of advising" students" and the workings of Residence Life. 0 am 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!

At the end of the semester, however, team members will experience a defi definite nite loss. Kristi Billuni, Forensics Coach and Scott Palmer, Assistant Director of Forensics have turned in their resignations. Both Billuni and Palmer were key players in the success of the team this year. According to Bonnie Pennebaker, a member of Forensics, their departure will greatly effect the team and they will definitely be missed by the entire team. 'They have both helped to establish a level of excellence, community and commitment on the team which will continue after they have left," Pennebaker said. Palmer's time at Willamette has been short - he has been coach coaching ing here for two years. Although his WU career has been brief he has been involved in Forensics in one form or another for ten years. In his entire Forensics career, this team consists of the most "human beings and the least competitors" making for an extremely enjoyable experience. This blend of traits has provided them with the opportunity to enjoy a great deal of success. Speaking of the team Palmer says, "They're great people, all of them." Wi th such success you may wonder why he is leaving. He has decided that he wants a change. As he puts it, he is ready to "expand my horizons and find something else I'm good at." Palmer is looking for a job in which he can use his public speaking skills. His preference would be in politics in an advocacy role, per perhaps haps for a "progressive non-profit group." His departure takes him to the back to his home - the Portland area. Billuni's departure will take her to San Francisco where she has recently been hired as the Managing Director of Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation or GLAAD. She leaves at the end of April and is very excited about this opportunity. Palmer is happy for her but says "we're all very sad" she is leaving the area. Billuni has been a mainstay of Willamette Forensics for five years. As a student she was one of the most competitive people in WU's history. "Both (Billuni and Palmer) have given so much, not only as coaches but also as students and individuals. They are moving on but they are leaving a legacy.

"Scott and Kristi have both put their hearts and souls into coaching and making this team as successful as it is. The hours of dedication they put in each week is amazing - you can truly tell they care about this activity and the students. Their love for this activity has made a lot of students love this activity, and it has encour encouraged aged students to develop their speaking skills," Higa said.

"They are appreciative of the activity but they do not understand exactly what we do. Forensics is one of the most rigorous activities" on this campus, he said. Although most describe it as an extra-curricular activity Palmer thinks of it as co-curricu-lar. It enhances classes and if members choose, it can consist of as much work as a regular class load. Palmer was quite surprised there was not a parade for his National Championship team. Forensics brings a great deal of attention to this campus yet he feels the campus does not take time to discover the benefits of the activity. ' Palmer would also be happy to speak to people in order to spread awareness about this activity. Competitions are open to the public and although they are finished for this year Palmer encourages students to attend the local events. "I will truly miss both Scott and Kristi very very much, and I'm sure everyone else on the team feels the same way," Higa said. Witty Irish debaters visit campus for a week By Erin Duffy Contributor Willamette got a first-hand glimpse of the luck of the Irish this week when three jovial debaters from the emerald isle arrived to celebrate a victory in the Irish Times National Debating Competition. Diarmuid Conway, Geroy Hyde and Alan Roberts spent a week of the ir all-expenses paid trip to the west coast by hanging out with the Foren Forensics sics team, participating in informal debates and sampling Salem night life. Conway, 2 1 , and Hyde, 20, inter interrupted rupted an exploration of Rhetoric and MediaStudiesProfessorBobTrapp's computer for an impromptu inter interview. view. Trapp, who directs the Forensics team, hosted the three students dur during ing their stay at Willamette. Roberts, 19, was nowhere to be found at the time. "Oh, Alan is chatting up a woman - he's been most unsuccessful all week. Our explanation for that is that American women have more sense," said Conway, grinning and scratch scratching ing his dark brown buzz haircut. "Or should we say perspicacity?" Hyde interjected. The three eloquent Irishmen all attend University College Cork in Ireland, where they participate on a debate team which may or may not eventually help them in their future careers. Conway is majoring in Com Commerce, merce, Hyde in Sciences, and Rob Roberts erts in Law; the three met on the 10,000-student campus through de debate. bate. 'It's a voluntary extra-curricular activity," Hyde explained, adjusting his black-framed glasses and settling back in his chair. Success in this particular activity has brought them to America more than once; in January they stayed at Princeton for the world champion ship debating competition. Conway and Hyde were relieved to discover that the people of the west seemed far more genial than those in the east. "Our advice to all Oregonians is do NOT go to Princeton," said Conway. "The people here are much more friendly than on the east coast. We found it very easy to make friends." During their visit to Willamette, which began last Tuesday and ended this Tuesday, Conway, Hyde and Roberts toured the capitol and met the state senate, observed debate com competitions, petitions, argued in campus debates, and drank beer. While the Irish Times, Friends of the Irish and Willamette covered most costs, the three had to provide their own funds for personal expenses. "Yeah, we spend most of our money on beer and coffee - beer to get drunk, and coffee to sober up," said Hyde. Monday night in the Bistro, they debated the proposition "American culture is an oxymoron," with three Willamette Forensics team members. Tuesday night, they showed the forensics team and a small audience how to debate the Irish way in the Hatfield Room. Conway, Roberts, and two Willamette debaters proposed that the government should put greater restrictions on freedom of speech, while Hyde and three other Willamette students opposed the proposition. Conway and Hyde had little re respect spect for American debating tech techniques. niques. "CEDA is not debate - it's a high bred form of reading. You can quote us on that," they said. "Our view of debate is less a formal model . than a conversation with rules." In fact, the parliamentary style of debate they introduced on Tuesday allows the opposition to interrupt speeches with comments, encourages clapping and desk-banging, and leaves plenty of room for back-and-forth bantering. In spite of the informality, how however, ever, the three Irishmen always wear tuxedos when they debate,, Roberts, a slight, blond crew crew-cutted cutted man, opened the debate by arguing in favor of the proposition, claiming that restrictions would help promote respect, responsibility, and accuracy, the foundations of a true republic. "Freedom of speech shouldn't turn into a shouting match between the loudest opponents," he said. At one point during the debate, Hyde took a snapshot of Conway while he was speaking. "NOTHANK YOU!" said Conway, before turning to the audience. "Mr. Geroy Hyde has been trying to find a good looking man in a tux for a number of years." The three left for Corvallis Wednesday morning, where they BOj IN T VAE. WOODS fl ABE eUT A Ort STEP. WITH TWO HEA09,A ftuPotlmS &AOC, Art?

All of their CD's, including this newest release "yes" are under 40 minutes. They - are much too short. Other than the brevity of "yes," there is very little else wrong with the third effort of the Boston trio. Morphine continues to play their extremely unique style of rock and roll and have further polished their skills. Believe it or not, Morphine is -; even smoother than before. Morphine plays a style of music which, they describe as "low rock." It is a sty le which combines such classically American music as jazz, blues, soul and, of course, rock and roll. The very line-up of the band breaks from the normal rock and roll "power trio" style band. There NJSis no regular guitar in the band. Front-man and vocalist Mark Sandman play s a two-string slide bass predominately. Dana Colley plays baritone sax, while Billy Conway lays down drumbeats. It is a smooth, sultry and sexy sound, but can also jump and jive with the energy of punk. Punk without the bad attitude, that is. Sandman has an uncommonly smooth voice that fits his name to a tee. That is not to say that he will put you to sleep; he will lull and calm when singing on mellow songs. His deep voice is some somewhat what reminiscent of Leonard Cohen. A "Radar," the fourth track on the CD, has got my foot tapping every time I have heard it The groove and rhythm of the song seem to speak foot lan language, guage, Jhat jnaudible dialect which foregoes the ears to directly affect the feet. P '" -juMIII1IIM.I 11- ,..U'H-' il-l X : - . i ' J. .. I " j - - hi in ' ' But there is more to this CD than just dancing tunes. "I Had My Chance" has a dark, smoky bar feel. Rather than prancing about on a dance floor, this song provides an air for sitting in a dark corner of hazy pub, sipping from a double Jim Beam on the rocks. Every Morphine CD has a prerequisite for a rather strange song; "The Jury" fulfills that require requirement ment Sandman speaks in a muted soliloquy behind a sax and occasional bass chord about a court proceeding that somehow involves Caesar Salad. This track is also the weakest on the album. My favorite song on this CD has become "All Your Way ." It opens with an instantly addictive bass groove that continues through the song; it really draws you in whether you like it or not. Morphine has always been very strong lyrically. Although ridiculous at times ("Honey White made a deal for some angel foodEverybody told her it was sweet and goodPoor Honey), the songwriting on "yes" is just a good as the previous two albums. Lines like "Get in your go-kart and go, little sister, and wing your swift sword now" leave no room to argue. "Whisper" is obviously a song of heartbreak from the instrumentation alone; the lyrics only add to lovesickness. "I'd like to lean in close and run my hands against your lipsThough we ha ven' t even spoken still I sense there's a rapport." Remarkably, two of the tracks on the album were recorded live. "I Had My Chance" was taped at KCRW in Los Angeles but it is not evident that it is not a regular studio track. It is a testament to the musical skill of the band. The other live track, "Sharks," was recorded by Morphine's soundman, Phil Davidson, while on the road. If after listening to the CD one needs any more evidence of their musical prowess, Colley plays tenor and baritone sax simultaneously on "Radar" and "Super Sex." I have a hard enough time drinking from two straws at the same time. Songs from this CD have fully tested to re remove move any sharp edges that maybe harmful to young children. The band played all of yes' tracks while on tour supporting their last release "Cure for Pain." Five songs were featured on the soundtrack for a film called "Spanking the Mon Monkey." key." Morphine is undoubtedly one of the best bands in contemporary music today. While many other bands are struggling to create some sort of originality for themselves, Morphine has achieved uniqueness almost, it seems, without trying, and certainly foregoing self-proclamation as an "al "alternative." ternative." I could tell you that this is the best album I have heard this year. I could tell you that it ranks as a 9 on a scale of 1 0 and that everyone should go out and buy it tomorrow in order to be cool. But I don't have to do that.. If .someone .likes, good music, they will buy this CD. j Films cater to academy, awards prove predictable Kara McAnulty Did anyone happen to notice that the Monday night sky was especially dark? That was because all of the biggest and brightest stars were in Hollywood for the sixty-seventh annual Academy Awards. Okay, I know; cheesy opening line, but it just goes so well with the cheddar-and-swiss combination that was pervasive at this year's biggest schmooze-fest: the Oscars. As Hollywood underlings came out of the woodwork to congratulate themselves and pat each other on the back, I sat in my living room trying not to get nauseous as even my favor favorite ite stars made complete fools out of themselves. 5, Whether rambling on endlessly in an acceptance speech (only to be cut off by loud orchestra music after the allotted sixty seconds), wearing clothing that was designed and fitted by a color-blind kindergartner, or air air-kissing kissing people they could obviously care less about, Hollywood's "best" were at the beck and call of one very popular little man named Oscar. Movie buff that I am, the Oscars used to fascinate me, with all of the glamour and poppers that the night entailed. " Now that I am older and less naive, the Academy Awards make me sick. If I ever do go on to make films, I will consider winning an Os Oscar car to be one of the lower points in my career. , For then I will know that I have conformed: I will have learned how to make a "Hollywood" film that is a shoo-in at both the box office and at the Oscars. Films like this year's Forrest Gump and Quiz Show are living proof of what prepackaged gifts to the Acad Academy emy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sci Sciences ences (AMPAS) look like. Tom Hanks might as well just tape record a speech and send it in each year, as he continually churns out performances that are custom custom-made made Oscar magnets. My idea of artistic success is not making a movie that will impress the heck out of a bunch of stiffs in suits, who will then vote for me. AMPAS is made up of 5,000 industry higher-ups who are so en engrossed grossed in the business they have lost all perspective on what is good or not so good. ' Therefore, their choices fornomi fornomi-nations nations and the eventual recipients of their little gold men are the "safe" choices, not the truly good or ground breaking films. This year is the per perfect fect example. Forrest Gump was nominated a disgusting thirteen times. Quiz Show was nominated for four awards, three of which were the biggest awards given (best picture, best director and best actor). The Shawshank Redemption was also heavily nominated. All three of these films practically got down on their knees and begged for Oscars since the very first draft of the script. This seems to me both pathetic and egotistical, but something that I have come to expect from Holly Hollywood. wood. I now venture into the realm of Pulp Fiction, an area that I know is both delicate and risky, because I realize I am the only person on the face of the earth who did not like this film. This is not a review of this film, so I won't go into much detail, but I really don't see what all the hoopla is all about. I will give the film this: I think the script is brilliant, brilliant, brilliant. But my compliments stop there. Each year or so Hollywood picks out a "golden boy," whose work they devour ravenously for about a year, then spit out hastily. The super-geek Tarantino is this year's golden boy. Like I said, the script is good, but gruesome murder, the word "fuck" and a fashion show of non-talented actors will only get you so far. I do take some comfort in the fact that AMPAS seems to have broken out of its shell a little bit by even nominating a film like this for any anything. thing. It seems far too hip for anyone involved in the voting to really under understand. stand. This year' s ceremony was exon exonerated erated only by finally choosing some someone one mildly entertaining to host the evening. David Letterman, though he re relied lied on his Late-Night format to get him through (he even did a top-ten list), was funny and continually made jokes so stupid that you had to laugh. At him. But at least I was laughing, as opposed to previous years where I was taking No-Doz just to get through the ceremony awake. The usual song-and-dance num numbers bers were tiresome and hardly enter entertaining. taining. You'd think that people whose life it is to entertain would be able to come up with a better awards program. All in all, it was the same old horse race again this yeanpredictable nominations, predictable winners, predictable fashion faux-pas. The race is already on for next year's awards, with the system pumping out safe film after safe film. I will continue to watch the People's Choice Awards to see what the American public likes, as op opposed posed to the Hollywood elite telling me what they think is best. I promise that if and when I win my first Academy Award, you can all come shove this article in my face. By that time I'll probably be too far gone for help, but you can say you knew me when. . .

The students, who are part of Campus Ambassadors Chris Christian tian Fellowship, are planning a two week trip to Guatemala City, where they will work in construction and with children. - While they are in Guatemala City, the students will assist in two projects during their stay in Guatemala. Their ongoing work will be to build a con concrete crete roof, but they will also teach crafts and. share Bible stories with 250 Guatemalan children at a time for three days a week. -- ., ... - The students will be working under the direction of Partnership Ministries, a mission group in Guate Guatemala mala which is affiliated with Mission to the Americas. Partnership Minis Ministries tries focuses on working with the local Guatemalans, and bridging the gap between the wealthier Ameri Americans cans and the impoverished Guatema Guatemalans lans by emphasizing that the Ameri Americans cans are not in Guatemala to provide a special service or advanced tech technology nology and methods, but are simply willing laborers, working side by side with local Guatemalans, and often under their direction. "I think this will probably give to students a greater understanding of Latin American culture than reading a book. It will give us an opportunity to work side by side with the Guate Guatemalans," malans," said Dan Barram, North Northwest west Director of Campus Ambassa Ambassadors. dors. Barram noted that Campus Ambassadors has gone on mission trips to third world countries for the past ten to twelve years. Freshman Amy Aichele, who is helping organize the trip, said one thing that attracted her to the trip was that the relationships built with the Guatemalans will not be based on the resources one group can offer the other, but on" the relationships them themselves. selves. "J .think it's important to make a contact between rich countries and poor countries '. .' . Jesus'-relation-; ships with people was not based on resources, but on the relationships.. It doesn't matter if we have more re resources sources than they do; it' s important to build relationships and share the love of Christ." In preparation for the trip, the students are learning about the cul culture ture of Latin America, and studying Spanish words and phrases, since all of the children they will be working with, as well as many of the adults, are not English-speaking. Senior Jory Hockett, who spent a year studying in Costa Rica, has helped with the cultural preparation of the group by making Guatemalan food. Hockett also has helped prepare the travelers with information on cul cultural tural differences such as the way that Latin Americans view time, women, and general priorities. Spanish pro professor fessor John Uggen will also speak with the group about political issues in Guatemala and Latin America. In Guatemala, the students will interact with Guatemalans both in their day-to-day mission work as well as by eating one meal a day with the Guatemalans, eating food the Guate Guatemalans malans have prepared. The students will not be hosted by Guatemalans, however, since many families live in a one-bedroom hut with only one mattress, which would make the presence of a guest terribly inconvenient for the Guate Guatemalan malan families, who are all too gra gracious cious as hosts. Also, the students are organizing craft and story activities for the Gua Guatemalan temalan children. Considerations in include clude choosing crafts which comple complement ment the Bible story being taught and which will be easy to teach to the children by those with limited Span Spanish ish knowledge. Also, the craft supplies must be gathered before the Students .depart for Guatemala,and will be left there " for the use of the local churches,' so the organizers are on the lookout for donations of popsicle sticks, yam, crayons, and other supplies. - - However, the main effort of the intended voyagers is to raise the money necessary to go to Guatemala.

"The fundraisirig was difficult, but I had faith in God I 've always felt the need to reach out to other people that ... he'd provide me with the money," said Shelley Markwell, freshman, who has received money for. the trip from people at her home church in Medford. According to Aichele, the group of students going to Guatemala has met for an hour each week since the semester started to discuss the trip, but with the trip six weeks away, it has been necessary to refocus the group. "It's hard to make people real realize ize how close this is coming up, and how soon it is," said Aichele, noting how much is still left to be done. However, she also said that the last meeting held about the trip was productive, and that participants had gotten a lot accomplished to towards wards reaching their goals.

Inthe meantime, students notohly have to raise the money necessary for travel, but must also obtain a passport and get a gamma globulin shot which is required for visitors to Guatemala, and is rumored to be painful by those who have had them.v However, the students are optimistic about the other aspects of the trip, which gives some students a long-awaited opportunity. Sophomore Anna Eng first be came interested in Guatemala during junior high, when her youth group helped a Guatemalan immigrant get his green card. Since then, she has studied Spanish here, and has been interested in visiting Latin America. "I wanted to learn about the Latin American culture, but I didn't want to go in an educational setting, like an exchange program, but to go and help out in some way, like a short term mission. Then, this came along," said Eng. "I've always felt the need to reach , out to other people who need me," said Markwell. "All my life, the one way that I feel that I help humanity or do my share of work is that I like to get my hands dirty: I don't like to sit in my room and read about problems in the third world, but to do something.

Features 11 March 31, 1995 The Collegian VITA offers help with tax returns Stories of life: Loya visits campus by Sarah Zollner Editor by Andrew Bernhard Editor Frustration is an all too com common mon feeling in April, as the annual squabble over tax refunds between tax payers and the IRS begins anew. Most people want to get the most out of their returns, but are never sure they are getting all they can. The forms are often confusing and professional help is too expen expensive, sive, so many people just file their returns, hoping for the best. There is, however, a better way. The national Volunteer Income vTax Assistance (VITA) program, which now has a branch on the Willamette campus, is designed es especially pecially to help low income and elderly individuals with their tax returns, but volunteers are also will willing ing to help students and staff mem mem-tftbers. tftbers. Many people are discovering how useful the program is in help helping ing them get the most out of their tax returns. "The word about our services must be getting around because the number of people com- ing to us for help has increased several hundred percent since just last year," Willamette VITA co co-director director Ted Bernhard explained. As well as assistance in conven conventional tional filing methods, VITA now .offers the possibility of electroni electronically cally filing state and federal returns. Instead of sending tax forms by mail, they are filed via modem. "With electronic filing, refunds are returned much more quickly," co-director Jeff Perry asserts. "The , federal refunds are returned often within three weeks instead of the regular six to eight, and the state refunds can come back as soon as 10 to 14 days." VITA operates at Willamette every Saturday through April 15, 1 between 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. Indi Individuals viduals interested in obtaining as assistance sistance can schedule appointments through the College of Law, at 370 370-6380. 6380.

"We hope that people seeking as assistance sistance will make an appointment, but if they don't, that's all right too," says Perry. Services will be provided in Room 118 and the stu student dent lounge of the Law School. It is important for anyone seek seeking ing assistance to bring with them their W2s, 1099s, past year's re returns, turns, and any other relevant in income come tax forms and information with them. People seeking assis assistance tance may bring their tax forms completed to have them checked or can receive help in filling out the necessary forms. Willamette's Tax Assistance program is one of many spread across the country, from California to New York. The establishment of VITA at Willamette is the result of the efforts of a handful of dedicated law students. Last year, the College of Law Tax Society was reestablished by students who hoped to find a prac practical tical way to apply what they had learned in their tax law classes. Through contact with the IRS, they discovered that there was a very real need for tax assistance and that students could help. The Tax Society then began to sponsor the VITA tax program, which had been at Willamette for the past seven years under the guid guid-ance ance of law professor Gwen Griffith. The program is coordinated by third year law students Ted Bernhard and Jeff Perry, who currently serve as President and Vice President of the Tax Society respectively. They are assisted by law school professor David Cameron, as well as other volunteers. "The program is beneficial to all involved," Perry maintains. People get help that they otherwise would not, while students get expe experience rience in applying their skills. Bernhard described his satisfaction with VITA by saying that "I feel fortunate to have had the opportu opportunity nity to apply my tax knowledge to help people, especially when it saves them money."

The event should prove to be an early tune-up for the confer conference ence championships, that will be held at Whitworth University in Spokane, Wash, on May 5-6. One feature unique to track & field, is that individuals qualify for the national meet, instead of entire 4 f earns. Willamette has already placed three individuals in the national meet, that will be held in Azusa, Calif, on May 25-27. Sophomore Shaun Bailey put himself in the national meet, with a personal record 204' 8" throw in the javelin. Lizz Ribbeck, a transfer from Clackamas Community College and senior Carrie Cole have also met the national qualifying standards in the marathon. Although it is individuals that qualify for nationals, Head Coach 3rad Victor felt that it would take a balanced team to win the conference championship.

"The men will be anywhere from third up." One of the strong points for both the men and women has been the relays. "Both the men's and women' s relays have run well," said Victor.

"Those top two teams are tough," Prothero said. "We really don't have a real realistic istic chance of beating them." While Prothero is in his 30th year of coaching the men at Willamette, this is only his second year of coaching the women. The women's program was added last year and is not yet considered an official conference sport That will change next year, when more of the schools field teams. This year the only conference schools with teams are Willamette and Pacific. Due to this, the women will be playing a large number of junior colleges.

Most of the same teams that are competing in the Husky Invitational this weekend are likely to appear at the Corvallis invitational. Team looks for consistency as conference play starts by Jennifer Miller Editor Willamette's men's baseball team is on a quest. Their quest is not for the national title or even a berth in the regional tournament. The one thing that has eluded the Bearcats is consis consistency. tency. If they can find that, then the berth to regionals and possibly the NAIA World Series, will all fall into place. The Bearcats traveled to sunny California over spring break, hoping to turn their season around. There was just one problem, California wasn't so sunny. Heavy rains held the team captive in their hotel rooms for most of the trip, and when they were able to play, the results were not what they were looking for. Their schedule listed six games during the trip to the California, but their first two games, a double-header at Chico St., were rained out So they moved on to San Francisco, where they were scheduled to play back-to-back nine inning games against San Francisco State. Be Because cause they had their first two games rained out, they ended up playing a double header against San Francisco State, with a single nine inning game scheduled for the following day. After sitting in their motel rooms for two days, the Bearcats finally got a chance to get back on track, with sophomore pitcher Abe Cohen, who was undefeated coming into the game, starting on the mound. It was not meant to be from the get go, as Willamette sleep walked through the first game, committing 7 errors, stranding nine runners, and not scoring a run, in a 7-0 defeat. The loss moved Cohen's record to 3-1 , and put the team record at .500 for the year. In their second game, it looked as if the it Bearcats had turned things around, as senior pitcher Geoff Huetten threw his best game of the season, before being replaced by junior Tony Mattison in the fifth inning. Willamette took a 5-4 lead into the bottom of the seventh inning, but San Francisco was able to tie the score and send it into extra innings. The teams battled through two more innings, before pouring rains stopped the game, making the game a 5-5 tie. Senior outfielder Mitch Pang led the Bearcats, going 2-2 on the day, but the biggest hit came from sophomore catcher Ryan Flynn. Pinch hitting in the seventh inning, Flynn lashed a two run double down the right field line, giving Willamette their 5-4 lead. When they woke up the next morning, the team found a few inches of water in the hotel parking lot, and a storm in progress. As a result, the team decided to head back to Salem and possibly get in some games on their home field. They got two hours north ofSanFranciscowhentheskies cleared and the sun began to shine. Head coach Dave Wong decided to stop in Chico and see if they could reschedule their games with Chico State. They could. There was still hope of salvaging something from the trip. The hope carried over to the next day , as the Bearcats scored in the first inning for the first time this season. It finally looked like Willamette had momentum on it's side, until Chico came to bat later in the first inning. Freshman pitcher Matt Kosderka gave the run right back to Chico in the first inning, and then gave up five more in the second and one more in the. eighth. The seven run explosion by Chico St. was more than the Bearcats could handle, as they dropped below .500 for the first time with the 7-1 loss. Pang and Flynri were the only bright spots for the Willamette offense, going 2-4 and 2-2 respectively . The loss pushed Kosderka' s record to 1-1. Any chance of getting revenge in the sec second ond game of the double header died quickly, as Chico scored three runs in the first two innings of sophomore pitcher Jerry Bushman. They went on to add three more runs off freshman pitcherBen Wilkins, before Willamette stormed back with a four run rally of their own in the fifth inning. Still, it was not enough, and the Bearcats headed home on a down note, with their confer conference ence openeronly four days away. "We were more con concerned cerned with having a good time, than winning base baseball ball games," said Wilkins of the trip. "Now we have to realize that winning baseball games is a good time." There would be no distractions, as Willamette opened the conference schedule last Saturday at home, with a nine inning game against Pacific University. Cohen took the mound once again, and because the playoffs are decided by games within the conference, the Bearcats had a fresh start. The two teams were even through eight innings at 5-5, until Pacific scored the go ahead run in the top of the ninth off of Mattison, who had replaced Cohen in the sixth inning. Willamette was unable to rally in the bottom half of the inning, and Pacific took the first of We need to come together and gel as a team." Ben Wilkins, freshman the three game series 6-5, with a double-header scheduled for the next day at Pacific. It looked as if Willamette's quest was over, when they tattered three Pacific pitchers for 16 hits and 17 runs in the first game of the double double-header. header. Junior shortstop Kevin Edelbrock led the Bearcats, smashing three straight doubles. Huetten continued to pitch well, throwing all seven innings, allowing only two runs, and picking up his first victory of the season with the 17-2 win. Unfortunately, the magic didn't last long, as Kosderka struggled through the first inning of the following game, and the Willamette defense could not make the routine plays. They found themselves down 9-3 when the game ended, which put their conference record at 1 1-2, 2, and pretty much forced them into a must win situation for the rest of the conference schedule, if they hope to take the conference title. Willamette returned home on Tuesday, hoping to take out their frustrations on winless Western Baptist Instead, they found them themselves selves becoming the first Western Baptist vic victim, tim, and searching for reasons why. Willamette wasted a handful of scoring opportunities, and lost 3-2, despite a fierce ninth inning rally. The disheartening loss moved the Bearcat's overall record to 5-9-1. Therefore the quest will continue into this weekend, when the Bearcats continue their conference season with a three game series against Lewis & Clark. They will play a double double-header header in Portland tomorrow, and then return home for a single nine inning game on Sunday. Hopefully, Willamette will be able to lose the plague that has hampered them this season, before the weekend series. "We need to come together and jell as a team," said Wilkins. One can only hope that the gel will dry soon. i Sports 15 March 31, 1995 The Collegian V Tennis ftLen experience success while women look J Men's team leaves Linfield crying with 8-0 match score while Pacific also falls 9-0 to the newly Unstoppable team. by Doug Lewis Staff Writer The Willamette men' s tennis team used two weaker foes earlier in the eek to warm up for a challenging weekend that lies ahead.

The matches against weaker teams help us out a lot because they give the younger guys on the team some experience," McCarthy said. The matches are also helpful to work out the kinks in their games before they face stiffer competition. "Hopefully we can use our recent success to springboard us to more in the future," Dedrick said. The lone loss in conference was suffered at the hands of Lewis & Clark on March 15th. They lost 5-4 and had to play without senior Alan Vestergaard, who had left for spring break. "That was a terrible match, " Beaton said. "If Alan would of played we could of won. He would of bumped everyone back a spot in both singles and doubles." "We haven' t lost to them in quite a while and we shouldn't have, but you can't do anything about it now," Beaton commented.

The women played a much improved Linfield team on Wednesday and lost 1-8. The only winners were the team of freshmen Allison Meier and Katie Snider, who won at number three doubles. "Linfield is a lot better than they have been in the past," Head Coach Molly Sigado said. "We should of done better against them but they are a pretty good team," she said. Junior Kim Yokoy ama played a tough match at number one singles before los losing ing 1-6 6-4 6-4. "Kim has played (the number , one from Linfield) nine times in her career here, so whenever you play someone that many times you are going to lose some close ones," Sigado said. The Bearcats were not pleased with the results against Linfield, and are hoping to do better when they face them later in the season. ."I don't think the score is indicative of how we played," said senior Stephanie Hamai. "We will play better against them at home. We are going to put out a lot more effort the next couple of weeks and work on our consistency and conditioning." While the rest of the campus was getting some rest and relaxation over spring break, the women's team traveled practices up games in six days. They opened the trip with a double-header against Hawaii-Hilo. Hilo, which plays at the NCAA Divi Division sion II level, overpowered the Bearcats in the first game, coming away with a 6-0 win. Van Curler was the losing pitcher. Willamette hoped that their lack of offense in the first game would not carry over into the second game, but their hopes never became reali ty . Hilo claimed the second game as well, 6 6-1. 1. Johnson took the loss for the Bearcats. Senior first baseman Jodi Hanauska was the lone offensive high light, going 2-6, with a run scoring triple.

Sinclair was given the loss for the Bearcats. The second game of the day pitted the Bearcats against Chaminade Uni University. versity. Again the Bearcat bats were silent, as VanCurler suffered the 8-0 loss. After two days, Willamette had lost four games, scoring only one total run. Things had to get better, and they did. The following day, Willamette turned the tide on Chaminade, as jun junior ior second baseman Kristi Heryford's two run homer in the fourth inning proved to be the difference in the Bearcat's 5-4 victory. VanCurler was once again the pitcher of record, pick picking ing up her second victory. Willamette carried their momen momentum tum from the first to second game, as VanCurler was able to hold off Chaminade just long enough for the Bearcats to earn a 7-6 victory. The Bearcats then had a day off to relax, before they faced NAIA na national tional power Hawaii Pacific in the trip's final double-header. Based on the results of the two games, the day of rest might not have been such a good idea, as the Bearcats lost any momentum as well as both games. Game one saw Hawaii Pacific shutout the Bearcats, with Johnson taking the loss. Willamette battled back in game two, but fell short, los losing ing 6-3. Van Curler picked up the loss, in her fifth decision of the trip. Although Willamette came away with only two victories in 10 games, the team found out just what it will take if they are to challenge for the Northwest Conferencechampionship this season. "I take the trip as more of a learn learning ing experience," said freshman rightfielder Sara Kane. "Our hitting to recover down to San Francisco and played eight matches in as many days. They came out of the trip with a 2-6 record, but faced stiff competition everyday and feel that they are a better team because of it. "We played tougher teams and I think it was a good experience for us," Hamai said. "Some of the teams were in divisions above ours, so it was good to practice against them when it we knew it wouldn't count against us on our conference record." "We will see the benefits of these matches in the long run," Sigado said. "We have a really inexperienced team and so I think that next year we will be able to see this pay off." The two wins over break were against Mills College and Gonzaga University. They dominated Mills en route to a 9-0 victory, and beat Gonzaga 6-3. "We beat the teams we were supposed to and played well against the tougher teams, but the score did not always show that," Sigado said. Sigado felt that some of the match scores should have put been closer. "We lost to U.C. Santa Cruz 9-0, but it should of been more like a 6-3 match," Sigado said. The Bearcats host Pacific today at three p.m., after being out on the road for nearly two weeks. "It will be nice to play at home," Sigado commented. The women have done well against them in the past and Sigado expects them to have a good match once again. "Based on their scores against other teams, I think we'll have a win," she said. wasn't too great, but we learned a lot." Not only did the trip provide the Bearcats with the kndwledged what it will take to win, it also helped familiarize the team, which could see as many as five freshmen in the starting line-up this year. "It brought our team together really well," said sophomore outfielder Casey Redfield. Willamette was able to put what they had learned on their trip into use right away, as they took on Western Oregon in a non-conference double double-header header yesterday in Monmouth. Willamette dropped the first game, as VanCurler suffered the 6-3 loss. Things were different in the sec second ond game, as the Bearcats came away with a 6-3 victory of their own. VanCurler was the winning pitcher, after she came in to relieve Sinclair. The split put Willamette at their cur current rent record of 6-10. The Bearcats will have one more tune-up before the conference sea season son opens on Sunday, as they host Concordia. The double-header is scheduled to begin at 4 p.m. at Wallace Marine Park. On Sunday Willamette will have travel to Portland for a rematch with Lewis & Clark. The double-header will open the conference season for the Bearcats, who hope to contend for a playoff spot this season. Willamette's first real test in the conference will come on Wednes Wednesday, day, when they host Linfield in a 5 p.m. double-header at Wallace Ma Marine rine Park. "They finished second in districts last year, and they are al always ways pretty tough," said Redfield. Linfield is expected to join the Bearcats in challenging Pacific and nationally ranked Pacific Lutheran for the conference title.

He also called the Oregon Stu Student dent Lobby's efforts to "get more money for their sector at the expense of independent colleges" unwise because it divides the support for education funding among public, private and community colleges.
