Unlike last week's meeting, the Senate was able to avoid contro contro-versy, versy, even though under the con concerns cerns section a lengthy statement from Lausanne Senator Matt Hindman (read by Lausanne proxy Jason Snyder) pointed some fingers and suggested some scandalous ac activity tivity on the part of certain mem bers of the Senate. In his address, Hindman pointed out aspects of Elections Board re research search that he disagreed with, claim claiming ing that this research was mislead misleading ing and incorrect. To each of Hindeman's points, President Heather Dahl gave a brief rebuttal. Regarding the discrepancy between Elections Board research and Hindman' s own, Dahl explained, "That's the beauty of politics and debate. You get to choose your own sources."

Summer remodeling to change face of campus residence halls by Charlotte Jones Staff Writer Due to summer remodeling, an element of surprise was added to the room selection lottery this week, as many students chose their rooms without knowing exactly what they would look like, due to changes which will be made during summer remodeling. Changes will be made to sev several eral of the residence halls before students move in next year. Baxter Hall's second floor will be renovated. The number of rooms on the floor will remain the same, but several changes will be made within the rooms. Carpet will be added and the dark built-in furni furniture ture will be replaced with moveable oak furniture. The rooms will probably be decorated in blue tones. Residence Life also plans to upgrade the light lighting ing in the rooms, add more electri electrical cal outlets, and is looking into put putting ting the phones on the wall to free up an extra jack in each room. The current ceilings will be low lowered ered and conduits to allow spaces set aside for internet wiring, will be added. According to Assistant Direc Director tor of Operations for Residence Life Cheryl Todd, "The space will be set up for Internet wiring, whether WITS chooses to wire the floor or not." Though the rooms will be the same size, Todd says, "They'll look a lot different once you take the built in furniture out." Baxter's guest rooms will be renovated along with the student rooms. And all rooms will be painted. The two lounges on the first floor will not be changed, however, because of future building plans at Baxter. Long range plans suggest renovating the first floor and moving the front door from the side of the build building ing facing Gatke to the opposite side of the build building, ing, facing Matthews Hall. The first floor of Matthews Hall will be prepared for the new Writ- ing Center to be opened next year. The writing lab will use the old kitchen and dining room space on Matthews' first floor. The Office of Admissions will move into the WISH house in early May. According to Todd, "The kitchen is easily the size of anyone's home kitchen." It is equipped with a full stove and will be used to cook the dinner for WISA's Extrava Extravaganza. ganza. A plan to install Lee and York The space will be set up for Internet wiring, whether WITS chooses to wire the floor or not," -Cheryl Todd, Residence Life houses with card locks for next year's residents will be considered for final approval before May. The bathrooms on the third and fourth floors of Kaneko will be reno- vated to account for co-ed floors by balcony next year. Because the fourth floor will be a "wellness floor" the floor's computer lab will be converted into an exercise room, possibly with equipment such as bikes and Stair Masters. In addition to the larger changes made to residence halls around campus, smalleradditions will also be made to some of the other halls. The old wing of Doney hall will be getting new bookcases which have already been ordered. Phi Delta Theta fraternity and WISH will both get a new paint job, and all the lighting in the chapter rooms of all the fraternities on campus will be upgraded. a.

Biological and chemical weap weapons ons inspectors wer; not so lucky. They never found any secret docu documents ments and the Iraqis did not turn over any files, so the full scope of Baghdad's biological and chemical warfare activities probably will re remain main a mystery. As diplomats from 175 nations gather at the United Nations on Monday to try to keep the lid on nuclear weapons in the 2 1 st century, Iraq offers the best example of the difficulties in controlling the spread not just of atomic arms but of all weapons of mass destruction. Iraq used chemical weapons against Iran in the 1980s, and there were fears it would use them during the 1991 Gulf War. But it was the discovery of Iraq's secret nuclear program after the Gulf War that shocked and galvanized the interna international tional community. The International Atomic En Energy ergy Agency, which failed to detect Iraq's extensive nuclear program, has proposed new measures to make it more difficult for countries to cheat. These include sampling air, water and dust to detect whether weapons-grade uranium and pluto- Kitzhaber by Brad Cain Associated Press Ask John Kitzhaber how life is going for him nearly 100 days into his term as governor, and he re responds sponds with characteristic dry hu humor: mor: "People say the three most stress stressful ful things you can do are to get married, move to a new home and get a new job. I've done all three, and they have certainly been major challenges." There is no doubt that Kitzhaber hit the ground running as 1995 dawned. He married his wife, Sharon, on New Year's Day, then moved into the official governor's residence, and was sworn in as the state's new Democratic chief ex executive ecutive facing the first Republican Republican-controlled controlled Legislature in 40 years.

The U.N. conference will focus on extending the Nuclear Non-Pro-liferation Treaty, the cornerstone of international efforts to halt the spread of nuclear weapons. The pact's pro provisions visions are administered by the IAEA, a U.N. organization based in Vienna, Austria. As for other weapons of mass destruction, the Chemical Weapons Convention to ban the use of such arms was signed in 1992 but not enough nations have ratified it to put it into force.

As part of the Gulf War cease ceasefire fire resolutions, the U.N.

Kitzhaber has spent much of his time dealing with the Legislature's Republican leaders on such issues as paying for Oregon schools and extending health insurance to the moral victory in finding that the federal Refugee Review Tribunal made several legal errors in re rejecting jecting their applications for refu refugee gee status late last year. But the judge said he was forced to dismiss the three cases due to the fact that they were lodged two days too late.

In his decision, O'Loughlin said that but for the time limit factor, he would have ordered that the three cases be re-heard by the refugee tribunal. to develop biological weapons. He accused Iraq of failing to fully dis disclose close its past military biological pro program gram and material acquired for it. Maurizio Zifferero, the IAEA's deputy director general, said the IAEA is satisfied Iraq's nuclear pro program gram has been dismantled. He cred credited ited that to the haul of documents confiscated in September 1991 by IAEA inspector David Kay. Until then, "the Iraqis were far from being cooperative with us," Zifferero said in an interview. "I think the fact that we had in our hands original Iraqi documents which pointed out all the different facets of the program forced them to be more forthcoming." Kay, the former IAEA inspector who is now a consultant to Science Applications International Corp. in Washington, said he believes Iraq still has nuclear "stuff but its great greatest est asset is the 20,000 people in its nuclear program. "What none of us know how to destroy is scientific know-how and skill, and the Iraqis know the secrets of producing nuclear weapons. So the restart of the program is prima primarily rily a question of money," Kay said. If trade sanctions against Iraq are lifted, the United States believes Baghdad could produce nuclear weapons in five to seven years and Scud missiles within one year and rebuild its chemical warfare pro program gram in two to three years and its biological weapons program in less than a year. working poor. There areclear political disagree disagreements ments between the Democratic gov governor ernor and the GOP leaders. Kitzhaber, for example, has threat threatened ened to veto any Republican moves to gut Oregon's land use laws or to tilt workers' compensation laws too far in favor of business. But those disagreements have not become personal. House Speaker Bev Clarno, for one, has nothing but kind words for the governor. "I would say our relations are cordial and friendly," the Bend Re Republican publican says. "He said from the beginning that his door would al always ways be open to us, and he has been very accessible." Senate President Gordon Smith also gives Kitzhaber high marks on his personal dealings with lawmak lawmakers, ers, but says he thinks Kitzhaber needs to be more active in pushing his own agenda instead of reacting to GOP proposals.

Enviromnentalists lose faith in Clinton fcj Sccit Scar.sr Associated Press Environmentalists who cel celebrated ebrated President Clinton's elec election tion say they now cannot count on him to veto Republican-sponsored bills rolling back environ environmental mental protections. "I count on no politicians," said Carl Pope, executive direc director tor of the Sierra Club. "I think if push came to shove he'd veto some of them, but I'm not look looking ing to him to rescue us." And Clinton should not take environmentalists' support for granted in the next election, the groups say. More than a dozen environ environmental mental groups launched a $2 mil million lion media campaign earlier this month, trying to alert voters to what they call an unparalleled assault on U.S. environmental laws in Congress. "I think the American people have to demonstrate this is their air, their water, their communi communities," ties," Pope said'And they have to demonstrate they are not going to let anybody whether it is Bill Clinton, the U.S. House or the U.S. Senate - mess with it." Proposals moving through Congress, in many cases with sup support port from conservative Demo tax hike to pay for the Oregon health plan that Kitzhaber crafted when he was Senate president. "I'm surprised that he has not been more involved in the funding of his health plan," Smith says. At the same time, though, Smith says he considers Kitzhaber a big improvement over former Gov. Bar Barbara bara Roberts, whose relations with the Legislature were poor at best. "From my perspective, he is far more engaged than his predeces predecessor," sor," he says. Kitzhaber disputes the notion that he has spent too much time reacting to Republican initiatives. He points out, for example, that he has persuaded the Legislature to send his ballot proposal to voters next month to allow Lottery revenue to be used for schools. The governor says that overall, he is proud of the close working relations he has developed with leg legislators islators from both parties. Kitzhaber says he has invited nearly all members of the Legisla Legislature ture to Mahonia Hall, the governor's Coalition targets Republican agenda PORTLAND, Ore. - An environ environmental mental coalition is spending $2 million to tell Americans about what they believe is the real Republican agenda: eliminating hard-won pro protections tections for public health and the environment. The coalition launched a $2 million radio and television cam campaign paign Thursday that will target 15 states, including Oregon.

Environmentalists have had a love-hate relationship with President Clinton since he took the White House after 12 years of Republican administrations. They loved him when he named Vice President Al Gore as his running mate, a hero in envi environmental ronmental circles. They hated him two years ago when, faced with opposition from Western Democrats, he backed off bold reform proposals that would have curtailed subsidized mining, logging and livestock grazing. residence in south Salem, for din- $ ners and other social occasions in an effort to get to know lawmakers one on one.

For Kitzhaber, one of the few drawbacks about his new job is that he has had to give up some of his highly prized privacy.

For example, in the past 100 days, industry lobbyists have been invited to help rewrite the Clean Water Act, said Molly Osborne of the American Lung Association of Oregon, one of the member groups of the coalition. Compiled from Collegian Wire Services News April 21, 1995 The Collegian Board members, others hold meeting by Ryan Teague Beckwith Editor On Sunday, April 1 6, starting at around 1 0 p.m., senators, candidates, concerned students and Elections Board members Matt Hindman and Paul DeStefano met in the basement of the Delta Tau Delta fraternity to discuss the vi viability ability of an unsupervised election. By that time, the group had heard a rumor that Secretary Brione Berneche was not going to hold the elections which had been man mandated dated by the Senate the previous Thursday. As they suspected, Berneche did not hold the elections and later resigned. "It was not a formal Elections Board meet meeting," ing," said Hindman. "I always took it as a advisory group," said Presidential candidate and current Vice Presi President dent Willie Smith, noting that "it would be ..very easy" to misinterpret the group's inten intentions. tions. At one point during the meeting, a vote was held to determine what course of action should be taken. The majority of people present voted to try and hold elections without the supervision of Secretary Berneche. "We (Hindman and DeStefano) felt that our obligations to Senate were clear that our duty was to assist the Secretary in administer ing elections, and we felt we had an obligation to uphold the Senate's intent," said DeStefano. Smith said that he has no knowledge of a vote. "I said I'm going to go up and call D' mitri (Palmateer). When I came back down, something happened. I don't know if it was a vote. I don't know if Matt and Paul had just said 'Okay this is what we are going to do,'" said Smith, "I doubt there was a vote." When asked about the vote, Hindman said, "No, I was not in the room for that." Hindman said that he and DeStefano made their deci decision sion to try to hold elections on Tuesday in "another part of the basement." Presidential candidate D'mitri Palmateer was present at the meeting for several minutes as well. Palmateer' s only comment on the meeting was "I was asked to stop by by numerous members who were there and I stopped by solely to lobby for the elections being held." Vice Presidential candidate Gar Willoughby later voiced concerns about the nature of the meeting. "After I thought about it, I thought that I'm a candidate, and I should have no part in planning these elections," said Willoughby, but he noted that he felt that the members of the group thought they were doing the right thing. "I think that they had good intentions," said Willoughby, "They believed they were following the Constitution." Former Vice Presidential candidate Kari Raze was also briefly at the meeting, how however, ever, she said that she left after a couple minutes because she had a bad headache and "it really didn't matter." Vice Presidential candidate Tiffany Derville would not comment for the record on the issue. Senator Alan Fleischman, who was also present, was unavailable for comment. Another meeting was held on the night of Monday, April 17, in the ASWU offices to discuss the election in which Smith, Derville, DeStefano, Hindman, and others were present. "To this day I have not met with any of the other members of the Elections Board exceDt Matt Hindman," DeStefano said yesterday. At Monday's meeting, a decision was made to request that the Collegian monitor the collection of ballots in the election which Hindman and DeStefano planned to hold on Tuesday and Wednesday. Later that night, Berneche announced her resignation as Sec Secretary. retary. After further discussion with Secretary Secretary-elect elect Josh Norman, DeStefano and Hindman called off their planned elections. Former Board members still confident in decision by Dan Metz Editor After more than a week of debate and protest over the issue to allow write-in candidates on the final run-off ballot, the majority of former Elec Elections tions Board members remain confident that they made the right decision. According to senior Lynne MacVean, the issue of write-in candidates was first raised on the weekend before the first election took place:' "Someone had asked if there were going to be write-in candidates on the final ballot or not," said MacVean. For at-large student representative Joelfre' Grant, the question of write-in candidates "wasn't an issue" for the Elections Board. "We just went by what we thought was the right thing to do," said Grant. "We talked about the fact that write-in candi candidates dates are allowed in the US presidential race," said member Heather Hayes. Following passage of the bill in senate, several Elections Board members resigned, including Grant, LailaCook, Dave Wil Williams, liams, Heather Hayes and President Heather Dahl . "I resigned during Senate because I morally did not agree with what was going on," said Hayes. Although she later considered rescinding her resignation, Hayes said, "I just don't have the time to commit." "I couldn't in a clear conscience run an elec election tion that I felt went against the principles that I stand for," added Williams. "I truly felt like the voters and the students were being rai lroaded and their freedom to choose who they want to represent them' was being taken away," concluded Hayes. Pres, V.R Candidates impatient with election hold-ups Senate turmoil supercedes elections, but candidates for president and vice-president still await conclusive results. by Charlotte Jones Staff Writer As the Willamette campus enters another week with the races for two ASWU positions undecided, debates in Senate over write-in candidates, plurality, and the ASWU consti constitution tution seem to have overshadowed the sub subjects jects of the race itself: the candidates. Since there have been strong write-in candidates in both the vice-presidential and presidential races, no candidate has been able to capture the necessary majority. The ASWU constitution requires that a candidate receive 50 percent of the vote. The debate, however, has brought with it the resignations of several senate members and the ASWU Secretary, Brione Berneche. It has also caused delays in the election process. The candidates for ASWU Presi President dent and Vice-President have observed the debate with frustration thus far. Part of the debate over ASWU's constitu constitution tion centers around what the constitution actually says regarding write-in candidates. Willie Smith, ASWU Presidential candi candidate, date, believes that the constitution explicitly states that write-in candidates should not be allowed in the general, or second, election. Smith believes that a phrase in the constitu constitution tion which says 'only the name of the top two candidates should be allowed' in the second election explains the situation sufficiently. "With that word only I don' t see how it can be read any other way," Smith said. Gar Willoughby, candidate for Vice-President, also cites this part of the constitution when describing his interpretation of write-in can candidates. didates. "It can be interpreted that only the top two candidates should be allowed in the run off," he says. Tiffany Derville, a candidate for ASWU Vice President, believes the write-in votes were legal. "I think it is definitely legal according to our constitution," she said, "The senate has ultimate authority which cannot be delegated to another body." The Senate's focus this week has also included looking at making changes to the constitution to avoid a similar problem next year. Several of the candidates would like to amend the constitution to include plurality in elections. Derville believes write-in votes should be included in all parts of the election as long as the constitution incorporates plu plurality rality also. "If there's no plurality a winner will never be declared," she said. Willoughby agrees and extends her sentiments. "It re reflects flects ASWU elections in a bad light when no winner can be elected," he said. Incorporating write-in votes and plural plurality ity into the constitution appeals to Smith. "I think that's the best way," he said. "That's something we could all agree on." D'mitri Palmateer, candidate for ASWU President, emphasizes the importance of a runoff election. "If write-in candidates are allowed in the runoff election then there's no reason to have a runoff because it doesn't differentiate from the previous election." he said. Andrea Ledford, write-in candidate for Vice President during the runoff election, believes write-in candidates are important in every phase of the election. "People should be able to vote for who they want, who they think will do a good job," she said. Derville also believes that any changes made to the constitution should only be done next semester. "I am against changing it now because it would postpone elections." she said. Postponed elections worry many of the candidates also. "My main concern is that less people will go out and vote and it will be harder to remember the difference between candidates," Derville said. As for the resignations which have fol followed lowed the initial confusion, most candidates see them as unfortunate. "I think it's sad that they would give up service in the middle of a difficult situation, but I guess if they felt like that' s what they had to do then more power to them," Smith said. Palmateer regrets that the issue has been taken to a personal level. "I think this whole thing has been blown out of proportion," he said. "I wish we could leave the personal is issues sues outside the door so we wouldn't be in a position where people are resigning," Smith agreed. Ledford resigned her own position in the Senate this week. She applauds others who did the same. "I'm proud of them. They took a stand," she said Several opinions exist among candidates as to the problem at the heart of the conflict. "There were too many decisions being made in a back room manner," said Palmateer. "I'm one of those people that's usually in the loop and even I'm being left out of the loop." Willoughby agrees. "Preparation and communication between the senate, execu executive tive officers and elections board should help make sure that elections next year run more smoothly and efficiently." Whatever their assessment of the cause of the election problems, most candidates are looking to the future, and hope to avoid facing the problem again. Derville expresses the confidence which most candidates have toward changing the system. "This problem is not going to happen next year because the constitution will be changed," she said. Key players in the elections maneuvering ASWU President Heather Dahl consulted outside sources in an attempt to find a solution. ASWU Secretary Brione Berneche resigned rather than enforce the legislation passed by the senate. Presidential candidate Willie Smith advised Elections Board members Paul DeStefano and Matt Hindman on the elections. ( t k i Elections board member Matt Hindman called people involved in the election for an "informal discussion." . i Elections board member Paul DeStefano attended the discussion in the Delt basement. Editorial 4 Tle Collegian April 21, 1995 Candidates abuse posting rights If wc never see another of the candidates' faces plastered around campus again, we would be ecstatic. It seems that the only thing, besides the students, that has suffered from the past two elections and the upcoming one is the trees. So much paper was used during cam campaigning paigning we could possibly be responsible for eliminat eliminating ing an entire forest. In addition, some methods of cam campaigning paigning were not in good taste nor have they been cleaned up. Cement bricks still sit in the Mill Stream from last week and are not pleasing to the eye at all. Nor do the ducks probably care for them. Sandwich boards are still scattered around corners of campus and table tents still decorate Goudy. Signs were suppose to have been done days ago, but remains of the campaign are still littered around campus. Unfortunately, it did not stop at candidates. Posters wallpapered bulletin boards from groups against certain candidates, groups supporting write-in candidates and even people running for mayor of Willamette. Those are only signs though. We can't forget the numerous box stuffers that carpeted the floor of the UC basement too. There was nowhere to turn to escape the campaigns. Signs seemed to show up everywhere - shower rooms, powder nooks of sororities, bathroom stalls, classrooms, dorm hallways and stairwells. Stickers pointed the way and who to vote for along the cement paths leading towards the classroom buildings. Posters lined the railing above the Mill Stream and people walked the campus carrying signs and handing out but buttons tons and stickers. Something needs to be done next time to better limit the amount of paper and places signs can be put up. The Mill Stream should be off limits because harm could be done to the ducks. Also, instead of limiting the amount of money a candidate can spend, limiting the number of posters that can be posted and the size of them also would be benefi beneficial. cial. If candidates only could post 25 letter paper size signs, then those 25 would be in well thought out places rather than just anywhere. Candidates may like to see their face plastered all over campus, but that is not what we care to see when visiting the restroom or when showering. Bulletin boards are there for a reason and should be used, but one sign to a board is all that is necessary. The worst part of the whole situation is that candidates who do the most thorough job of cavasing the campus with their signs, no matter how inane, seem to receive the most attention. In the "real world" one can leave an election behind when he walks into his home, but at Willamette, the home, or dorm room, is the prime place for candidates to advertise. We have no place to escape too. Therefore, it is up to ASWU to set the guidelines and make them stricter. There is no reason for the entire campus to look like a paper company exploded on to it. There are far better things trees can be used for. And, no, not for posting another sign. Berneche resigns as ASWTJ Secretary over election process' Dear President Dahl and the Wil Willamette lamette Student Body: Please accept this as my formal letter of resignation from the office of ASWU Secretary. I ran for the office because I wanted to serve the student body. I did not do it because I wanted to pad my resume or be because cause I wanted the money. I think that the system at Willamette is very unique in that it gives students a voice if they want to express it, and I wanted to make sure that voice was heard. Many issues have been raised by the ASWU elections this year. Elections Board strongly felt, and 1 wholeheartedly agree with them, that write-in candidates are allowed on the ballot in the second election. I grew even stronger in my belief of this when a nationally licensed Par Parliamentarian liamentarian reviewed our Consti Constitution tution and Bylaws and agreed with us. On Thursday of last week, Sen Senate ate voted to overrule the conclu conclusions sions made by Elections Board. They, in turn, voted that the elec elections tions would be held again and no space would be provided for a write write-in in candidate. Further, any ballot cast for a write-in would be consid considered ered null and void. I agree that the elections are taking a long time, and the system, as it is set up in the Constitution, may not be the most efficient. But, as one senator pointed out only a few weeks ago, democracy is not necessarily efficient. I believe very strongly that although the senate has "ultimate authority" over ASWU affairs, they have over overstepped stepped that authority. They have taken away the right of a student to voice his or her opinion about a candidate. I was elected to uphold the Constitution and represent the students. However, I cannot up uphold hold a Constitution which allows Senate to go unchecked, and one which allows Senate to trample on the basic rights of the students. Whether or not it is Constitutional for Senate to be able to do this is not the issue to me anymore. The best way I can stand up for the rights of the students at this point is to not hold an election which declares their voice null and void if they do not want to vote for the people the ASWU Senate tells them they can. The student body did not vote me, or any other officer, into office to take away their rights. I feel that Senate has completely overstepped their "authority" and have forgot forgotten ten who put them in office. Because the candidates, the Senate and a few of their constituents want to see the elections come to a quick end is not a reason to take away the voice of those who put them into office. For those students who agree with the bill passed by Senate and who think they are the majority of students, I hope you understand that at some point you may be the "minority" and you have allowed Senate to set the precedent of taking away the rights of anyone they want, when they want. I am not resigning because the decision of Elections Board was overturned by the Senate and I am a poor loser. As I said before, who has the right understanding of the ASWU Constitution is not an issue for me anymore. The decision by Senate violates the whole purpose for student government: to be the voice of the students and to look out for their best interest. It is not in their best interest to take away their means of voicing their opinion. Some Senators seem to think that the Constitution does not give rights to students; I cannot and will not uphold that kind of Constitution either. To me, the mora! question is more important than the Constitu Constitutional tional one. I have enjoyed working with some of the people, and I am ap appalled palled by the actions of others. Some senators are looking out for the best interests of their constituents and they should be commended. To the members of the Elections Board I chaired, I want to say that I am very appreciative of the work they put into the elections and their convic conviction tion that they made the right deci decisions. sions. To the student body I'd like to say: the power of student govern government ment is in the voice of the students, and don't ever let anyone take that away from you. Choose wisely those who represent you whether it be in your hall council, your ASWU officers or your senate representa representatives. tives. Stand up for your rights and express your voice. Senate's au authority thority only goes so far as the stu students dents allow it to go. The elections did not happen today because their authority does have limits. When students don't want something to occur, it does not have to; and that should be the ultimate check on their authority. The student body truly has the power in student government. Don't let your senators tell you any differ differently. ently. Instead, tell them how you want ASWU to be run. They are elected to serve you, not to create authority over you.

In a way, it was unsung. It's likely most residents of the DuBois area who don't have children in high school music programs didn't get to hear the March 1 1 concert by students from 75 northwestern Pennsylva Pennsylvania nia schools in DuBois for the Re Regional gional Chorus get-together. The concert generally fills the host school's auditorium with families of participants, and the open re rehearsal hearsal wasn'tpromoted, because it was just that, a rehearsal. They made beautiful music, as I discovered when I had the chance to attend the dress rehearsal. That didn't just happen, of course. Terry Swope, choral director at DuBois Area High School, men mentioned tioned he had "been crazy enough to want to host" the event, and noted the hundreds of people who helped out. Cyril Stretansky, the guest con conductor ductor and Susquehanna Univer University sity music professor, demonstrated why he is a superb musician and an even better teacher of the choral art he loves. So I really enjoyed the concert -so much so that I feel guilty about picking apart one incorrect phrase I heard there. But to let it pass un unchallenged challenged perpetuates a fallacy about the way I make a living. Swope, the energetic DAHS director, obviously loves his music, his students and the superb singers from throughout the region. He is proud of them, too. He asked chorus members who were also varsity athletes to raise their hands; about half did so. He then had those who were honor stu students dents raise their hands; nearly all did so. He concluded, quite rightly , that with young people like these ready to become adults, he is not worried about the future of our communi communities. ties. What was wrong with that? Nothing - except for a throwaway phrase he used in introducing his thesis. He said words to the effect that, "despite what the press might lead you to believe," many of fuels, minerals from land consumer market's current love af affair fair with recycled products ap approaching proaching an all time high.

The remarkable humanity of this plan is plain to see, especially in regard to the mining of nuclear materials. Such activities no longer need be the harbinger of doom but rather investments in our salvation. Proper incentives and the aid of the Army Corp of Engineers might prompt mining companies to dig a little deeper, ensuring sufficient space for at least 5-1 0 percent of our cur current rent population.

Worse, it's simply not true. I thumbed through editions of our newspapers from a typical re recent cent week, that of March 6-13, look looking ing for stories about young people. I counted 55 stories or story-photo combinations reporti ng about young people, and I did not include the listings on our sports Scoreboard pages. There were 10 clearly negative stories. There were 45 clearly positive stories. Just about half were sports stories. Stories about the successes of area athletes. My calculator tells me 45 good stories out of 55 total stories is 81.8 percent good. Why, then, do people persist in claiming "the press" por portrays trays young people in a bad light? Is this, not a media problem, but a people problem? Do we fixate on bad news? I think so. But we don't like to admit that. Yes, most young people around here are good people. Most do more good things than bad things. But the reason they don't always get credit for that has more to do with the way you - and I - read than with what this newspaper prints. We're a perverse people. We love to h.ite. We fixate on the bad, the sensaiional, the un unusual. usual.

Even the reddest green Bol Bolshevik shevik can sec the immeasurable value of a public swimming hole -that is, if there is any sense of "com "community" munity" in the word "communist." Clearly the goal of the extrac extractive tive industries is not theirown profit margin but the well-being of the whole of mankind. There remains, however, a vein of the vainest ecolutionarics, those that would bring mining and logging to a vir virtual tual stand still to preserve the aes aesthetic thetic beauty of the land.

The event was designed to raise aware awareness ness of gender and sexuality issues by declaring that anyone wearing denim was showing support for LGBA. Pliers about Denim Day and its significance were not posted until Wednesday morning, so that many people found themselves inadvert inadvertently ently supporting or not supporting LGBA according to what they were wearing. Students' reactions to the event fell all across the spectrum, includ including ing admiration, confusion, apathy, and discomfort or offense. Those who were well-informed about the event tended to have stronger opin opinions ions on the subject than those who Fraternities try new guest list policy tomorrow night by Ryan league Beckwiih Editor Both I he Beta Theta Pi and Kappa Si ima fraternity houses will be hosting registered social functions tomorrow, using a new, expanded guest list policy in the interest of making the events more accessible and more secure. At a joint Inter-Fraternity Council (IPC) and Panhellenic Council meeting held at the be beginning ginning of March, a resolution was passed to change the exist existing ing policy, which only allowed for 250 people on the guest list. The policy that is being tried was presented to Residence Life by IFC and Panhellenic and then the group s worked with Dean of Residence Life Rich Shintaku until a final agreement was reached. Panhellenic President Bonnie Pennebaker said she was pleased with the way IFC and Panhellenic worked together on the proposal. "IFC originated the idea, but we worked together and came up with something we both liked and that represented both fraternities and sororities. ...In the end it was something we all put a lot of time and energy into." Only students on a previ previously ously arranged guest list are al allowed lowed to attend a Residence Life sanctioned function. The previ previous ous policy set the maximum at fire code (200 people) plus 25 percent. This often left the events fairly empty, as many students attending would not stay for the whole night. Kappa Sigma Vice President Jon Morris said this is one of the benefits of the new policy, "It allows us to keep the house at next to full capacity and allows the guest list to be much bigger without breaking any fire codes." The new policy involves us using ing a hand counting device, in order to keep track of how many people are attending at any one didn't sec the fliers or understand the message. ''I think they were making a good point," said sophomore Heather Ahlstrom. "I really liked their slogan - something like, 'If you think we're putting words in your mouth, think about it next time you make assumptions about some someone one else's sexuality'." "It was good that everyone was subjected to it; it put everybody in question," said sophomore Tiffani Ellis. "Yeah, everyone could feel what it was like to be judged by the outside," added sophomore Kara Ritzheimcr. Others were not so positive about Denim Day, expressing con concerns cerns about how the event was pub publicized licized and what it was attempting to do. "Part of me thought it was kind of neat, but I wish they would have notified me beforehand, so people who wanted to show support could have," said junior Brent Cunningham. "I felt weird about it. I wasn't time. This allows more people to come through the door, in that when some students leave, an equal number will be allowed to enter, keeping the amount of at attendees tendees consistent and at 200 or less. According to Shintaku, the number of people that can be in a registered function will not be changed with this policy, how however ever the guest list will be in increased creased to 400 instead of the previous 250. The 400person guest list will be used this weekend on a trial basis, in order to ascertain its effectiveness and the feasibility of implementing it next year. "We are really looking at this as a trial basis," Shintaku said. Some of the key people who put the new policy together will not be here next year, so Shintaku said he wanted to try it out this year. John Peschel , who was IFC President when the policy was proposed to Panhellenic and Residence Life, is glad it is being tried out this weekend at his house, Beta Theta Pi. "There is noplace I'd rather try (the policy) for the first time and to help decide whether to keep it or not." The change should also bring about increased party security because anybody wanting to at attend tend should hopefully be accomodated by the expanded guest list, and less students will try to sneak in uninvited. "For the Greek system it will alleviate a lot of problems. With 400 people on the guest list people won't have to break windows to sneak in or hide in rooms. They '11 know if they are on the list and they will get in eventually," Peschel said. The policy also requires that hired security guards monitor all exits, and that attendees only enter and exit through the front door. Wrist bands will be distrib distributed uted to guest list members in order to insure only people on the list can attend. i i Denim Day, which was held Wednesday April 12, was an unexpected sure that was the best way to get the message across," said freshman Ryan Kinnett.

He hated the appeasing conservatives as much as he hated the pacificist liberals. Before Lawson continued his narrative he paused to answer a few questions which has been given to him from students and staff. One person asked what it takes for a young person to become a great politician. Lawson answered, "It is to have the ability to foretell what will happen in the furure and the genius to explain why it didn't."

Teeter totter marathon to raise funds for illiteracy programs Pi Beta Phi may have found the perfect instrument to bring the campus together to help further literacy in Salem: the teeter totter. Sorority members are planning to set up their teeter-totter in Jackson Plaza on Friday. Push off is at noon. Besides providing music, snacks and periodic prize drawings, Pi Beta Phi members will be providing local literacy programs at the Salem Outreach Center with funds to fight illiteracy. All members of Pi Phi will take a turn on the teeter totter. According to Annalie Herrmann, "All of us are really hyped about raising money." The Pi Phi members are not the only students invited to teeter totter; over twenty students outside the sorority are signed up to totter with a member for the cause. Through this, and the raffle associated with the event, Pi Beta Phi hopes to include more of the Willamette community. "We encourage people to come out," says Amy Flindt, a Pi Phi member, "We'll have music playing and snacks." For most of the Spring pledges, the marathon marks their first experience with the house's philanthropy. Jennifer Russell, a new member of the house is excited about her upcoming shift on the teeter totter. "I think its great that everyone gets together to help out. I'm really excited about It." This is her first chance to help the literacy program through the sorority. The sorority hopes to raise $1200 through the event. The actual fundraisers will be through t-shirt sales, donations from the commu community, nity, and a raffle held in conjunction with the teeter-totter marathon. Raffle ticket sales for a raffle open to the Willamette community only will be held along with the t-shirt sales. Drawings will be held during the marathon, about every hour for prizes like free bowling games, pizzas, haircuts and gift certificates to music stores and Gold's Gym. Pi Phi members will also seek flat donations from the outside community. Though the teeter tottering itself won't raise funds, Herrmann explains, "If s a fun way to raise money, and it' s a way to kind of grab attention." The money generated from the t-shirt and raffle ticket sales and donations surrounding the marathon will benefit local literacy programs at the Salem Outreach Center such as parenting classes, and preschool and family literacy programs. Money will go to the center because, "We wanted to keep the money local," jays Flindt. Corrections: On page sixteen of last Friday's Collegian, Phi Delta Theta Senator Mike Corella's vote for the "Bill to Prevent Write-in Candidates in a Run-Off Election" was erroneously tabulated on the roll call sheet. Corella voted "no" in all of the votes on the bill. The final vote on the legislation was 17 ayes and 10 nays, with three abstentions. In the March 10 issue of the Collegian, it was reported that Craig Beneville, editor of the Earth First! Journal had indicted the National Forest Service with lax enforcement of the Endangered Species Act at the Public Interest Environmental Law Conference held in Eugene March 2 through 5. It should have read that Beneville indicted the Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) in a panel discussion at the conference. Also, Beneville's name was misspelled in the earlier edition. It is spelled correctiy here.

Thursday evening, at the Dine With A Mind program, professors joined the Goudy Commons milieu and were treated to a free Goudy meal, complete with tablecloths and fresh flowers. Professors and students alike enjoyed the opportunity to talk, casually about a wide range of topics relevant to both the professors and students' lives at and outside Willamette. "We talked about cafeteria food experi ences, most of theirs (the professors) were worse than Goudy type stories. We talked about the kind of things that students say about their professors when they aren't around, and getting caught," said sophomore Wesley Smith. "We started with the obligatory 'How do you like the food' questions, and also talked about life at Willamette, being near to Portland, and what life is like on cam campus," pus," said Jim Friedrich, associate professor of psychology. The event gave faculty an opportunity to learn more about their students' interests and aspirations. "We didn't talk about academics in a narrow sense, but about what one of the "I 1 1 was a very agreeable experience I came out with my food. . .and some students hailed me over ." students, a biology major, was studying, and environmenialism," said James Hanson, pro pro-lessor lessor of economics.

Sometimes professors let a glimpse of their professorial habits be seen - at one point, McGaughy pulled out a pen and napkin to illustrate the Greek lettering of his daughter's name, which means "grace." Another student claimed his professor took the opportunity to "remind" him of a paper that was long overdue. While many professors sought familiar students to eat with, some chose to branch out and meet new people. According to Friedrich, the opportunity to meet different students was to him one of the most ap appealing pealing aspects to the pro program. gram.

"It was a very agreeable experience: I came out with my food from the food getting place and I was looking for a place to sit and some students hailed me over," said Stewart, who also had the opportunity to eat with students he had never met. "We have had similar programs in the past, but they didn't work as well ... the students weren't as welcoming," Stewart added. In the past, ASWU sponsored a program called "Let's Get Together," which was held in the Bistro on Friday afternoons. The program was intended to give students and professors the chance to interact on an informal drop-in basis. However, since the program was so infor informal mal and followed a busy week of classes for both professors and students, it didn't attract the diversity of professors and students which was hoped for. h.. ,,r.The..ASWU Programming.Board, in an attempt to find another way for students and faculty to interact, first got the idea for Dine with a Mind by reading about another school that had a similar program, and decided to try it in Goudy, and in a more formal atmosphere.

Several years ago, Hanson was on the commit- ; tee planning the construction of Goudy Com Commons, mons, that the committee had strongly hoped that a central dining area would facilitate more faculty-student interaction.

U S Department ol Transportation Tlje Collegian Cherry Orchard opens tonight in Kresge April 21, 1995 g V0ICES, By Joe Findling Editor History lessons at Willamette aren't always taught in lecture form in a classroom in Eaton Hall. The theatre department, for example, has focused theirproductionslhisycaron lessons from the past, some best for forgotten, gotten, but not their last, which opens, today. Willamette's final production of the year, Anton Chekhov's The Cherry Orchard, is an elaborate un undertaking dertaking in its attempt to capture a period of Russian history. Set in 1903, it showcases the end of an era and a new beginning, all of which gives the characters plenty of problems and aspirations to chew on. Director Rod Ceballos does an impressive job of keeping the actors from running into each other and quickly creating the mood for the play, most often characterized by false confidence, despair, and familial loy loyalty. alty. The set is an extensive wooden geometrical bewilderment, with at least four planes, both straight and rounded, which makes the dance se sequences quences more interesting, also aided by the costume work done by Shawnee Summer. Guest artist Susan Coromel, who directed the previous stage venture Waiting for the Parade, plays the lead role of Madame Ranevskay a, for which she apparently feels a little overacting is needed. Ranevskaya is the owner of the estate which serves as the setting and reason for the title, who is unable to face the fact that it will not be hers much longer. j- - Amember of a proud aristocratic -family lineV the character is unable to accept the changing times, most prominently signified by the debts which have replaced her checkbook. The play opens as she returns to the estate from Paris, where she has squan squandered dered her remaining capital for the last five years in an attempt to cope Chicken Soup for the Soul By Heather Anderson Contributor It's getting close to finals time. Anxiety and depression sink in. The usual remedy of a mocha and a hug just won't cure the blues anymore. What to do? Jack Canfield and Mark Victor Hansen believe that they have the ' answer in their new book, Chicken Soup for the Soul. With over 101 inspirational stories related to all as aspects pects of life, Soup claims to "open the heart and rekindle the spirit." Written and compiled by Canfield , and Hansen, Soup is 294 pages of pick-me-ups, related by dozens of authors and inspirational speakers whose expertise lies in the fields of self-esteem and motivation. According to the back cover, the book is meant to bring hope and em em-J J powerment to "buoy you through life'sdarkmoments."Thewholepoint of the book is to enlighten and enrich. It is suggested that the book be used to inspire a friend, make a point, or teach a child. Soup's contents are divided into seven separate sections of stories: love, learning to love yourself, parenting, learning, living your dream, overcoming obstacles and one sec section tion titled "eclectic wisdom." Under each general category are . a handful of stories with their own with the deaths of her husband and son. Senior Keith Anderson plays Lopahin, a successful merchant who has finally been able to cash in on his family's hard work, his descendants being serfs on the estate of Madame Ranevskaya. He heralds the new era as Ranevskaya signals the previous one's fade to black, and Anderson is able to display a light-hearted exu exuberance berance and adaptation to the character' s new-found might: Money. The younger generation is repre represented sented by Lindsay Hunter as Anya, Ranevskaya' s daughter, Gretchen Berry as Varya, her adopted daugh daughter, ter, and Timothy Eblen as Trofimov, a student and former student of Ranevskaya. They are more ready to accept the change in lifestyle that is occurring, not quite as bogged down by the ready comfort of having things handed to them the Madame and her peers are accustomed to. The rest of the characters with any real stage time are primarily se seniors, niors, this being their last theatrical outing at Willamette. Scott Griffin does an exceptional job at providing some comic relief as the clumsy Yepihodov, a clerk on the estate. Ty Turner can't breathe much life into Gae v, Ranevskaya' s brother, who manages to do little more than take up space on the stage. Jake Storms plays the young valet, who still has some life and adventure left in him,' anxious to return to Paris, apparently board with beguiling women. With a cast of more than 20 people, several dichotomies and small interactions are noticed that serve to respectively represent some timeless qualities and show the characters as real people. The older generation is resigned to life, while the younger is still deciding what to make of it. Anderson and Coromels' charac characters ters also present two opposing views of money; something to be invested and earned, or something to be ex- names and authors. For example, under one category, On Love, there is a story called "A Brother Like That" by Dan Clark, a professional motiva motivational tional speaker from Utah. Inthis story , Clark relates a touch touching ing tale about a businessman with a new car and the young boy admiring it. As the tale unfolds, it seems that the young boy doesn' t want a car like that for himself, butforhisyounger brother who is crippled. Stories like these are utilized in such a way that the reader sees hope on the horizon and faith in humanity is restored bit by bit, story after story. The authors have selected a vari variety ety of stories that can potentially touch the greatest number of people with its breadth of scope. Some of the stories are true and some are made up, but each has the power to attach itself to a situation in anyone's life. Therein lies the power of this book people have obstacles that they struggle to overcome; Soup is encouragement that stems from oth others' ers' experiences. It offers hope through examples. Since it is a compilation, Canfield and Hansen have taken the time to sort through the stories that they have heard or have learned about over the years.

Their rich-poor inequity flip flip-flops flops as she is left to face the reality that she must sell her estate, which Anderson' has been pointing out all along. The play starts quickly, a neces necessary sary ingredient as very little time pe period riod and background information is supplied, but shuffles to a slow and drawn out close at the end. From the middle of the third act it is fairly predictable, but Ceballos' fine, pro offers warm many as five times to ensure that the true essence of the tale is not lost when written down. A key component to successfully reading this book begins with perus perusing ing an often-overlooked element the introduction. In it, the authors encourage readers to take their time with the stories (the average length is only a couple of pages each). The reader is encouraged to slow down and forget what was learned in hisher speed-reading class (some (something thing that might prove to be a task for college students). "Listen to the words in your heart as well as in your mind," says the introduction. "Savor each story. Let it touch you." The authors imply that the book's purpose is best served when the reader asks himherself cer certain tain questions following each story, such as: "What does it awaken within me?" "What docs it suggest for my life?" "What feeling or action does it call forth from my inner being?" The authors encourage the reader to have a "personal relationship with each story." I found that the authors' advice regarding taking the time not just read but relate to each story held true. Soup is not a book that you want to just "read through" from cover to cover. Instead, I suggest that you read only two or three stories each day and ' '1 fessional directing and the Chekhov script, translated by Tyrone Guthrie and Leonid Kipnis, make it worth staying until the end. The Cherry Orchard 'outdoes it's last two predecessors at Willamette, and many may find it well worth their time. With a sizable cast and elabo elaborate rate set, however, it is important to pay attention to as much detail as possible, and sometimes look past Coromel' s attempts to focus the at attention tention on herself. fuzzy feelings think about them before moving on to the next. Again, the authors say in the introduction, "Reading a book like this is a little like siting down to eat a meal of all desserts. It may be a little too rich. It is a meal with no veg vegetables, etables, salad or bread. It is all es essence sence with very little froth." This is why it might be good to just partake of a few stories at a time instead of guzzling down the whole thing in one sitting.

Hawaiian club lu'au slated for Saturday By Liani Reeves Staff Writer I j "KE 'AKOAKOA NEI MAKOU NO KA HULIAU 'ANA" is the theme of the sixth annual Hawaiian Lu'au to be held tomorrow in Cone Field House, Sparks Center. In English, the theme means "Gathering together to recall the past." Doors will open at 6 p.m. and the show will start at 7 p.m. The Hawaiian Lu'au is one of the most widely attended events at Willamette each year. According to the Hawaii Club President, Junior Brian Matsubara, last year 400 tickets were initially made avail able and they sold out a week .before the lu'au. Fifty more tickets were printed and sold at the door. "We had people lined up three hours be before fore the door opened," he said. In the past, the lu'au has been held in Cat Cavern, but this year the event will be moved to Cone Fieldhouse to accommodate more people. "We are tired of turning people away. We want to share our culture with as much of Oregon as we can," said Matsubara. The audience will have the opportunity to eat an authentic Hawaiian dinner followed by a hula show ranging from the traditional hula of Old Hawaii (Kahiki) to modern day hula (Auwana), as well as Maori and Tahitian dancing. Also included will be a Samoan fire dance. The 1995 lu'au menu consists of Kalua Pig (oven-smoked in an underground oven), Lomi Lomi Salmon (salted salmon mixed with diced ) tomatoes and green onions), Poi, Chicken Long Rice s (boiled chicken cooked with Chinese long rice and veg- (jJ etables), Waikiki Meatballs (meatballs marinated in teriyaki sauce), Vegetarian Stir-fry, steamed rice and Kula Green Salad (a blend of fresh kula greens served with a light vinaigrette dressing). Dessert will include fresh pineapple and Coconut Cake. Preparation for the lu'au began last fall, according to Matsubara. Coordinators from the state of Hawaii (one from each island) were contacted. "We have a crate sent every year with authentic Hawaiian goods that we need for the lu'au," said Matsubara. Other preparations included establishing chair people for the different committees, food and pig preparation, and dance rehearsals, which started in March. There are approximately seventeen dancers. In past years, the Hawaii Club has been more active as a support group for those students attending Willamette from Hawaii. This year, the club has made an additional effort to encourage interested students of all backgrounds to join and learn about Hawaiian culture. Current membership of the club is approximately 45 members, about 15 of which are not from Hawaii. In addition, there will be many door prizes and a slide show. The club will also be showcasing a Country Store that will be selling a potpourri of items, from flower leis to chocolate-covered macadamia nuts. Tickets are $8 for the Willamette community, senior citizens, and children under 12, and $ 1 2 for General Admission. Tickets are available at the University Center information desk. There will be festival seating on a first come, first serve basis. The first 300 people in will be seated at tables, the rest of the 800 will be seated on the bleachers. By David Bauder Associated Press Opening acts take small victories wherever they come. Pete Droge was wrapping up a 40-minute warmup set for Tom Petty, introducing himself a second time for stragglers heading toward their seats, when some women shouted from the upper deck: "We love you, Pete!" Droge's face brightened and he squinted into the darkness. "Thank you," he replied. "It's nice to be loved." He launched into his best-known song, "If You Don't Love Me (I'll Kill Myself)." Its sentiment is something opening acts know never to take literally, and the indifferent audience warmed with recognition. Droge is no stranger to the road, where he's spent a lot of time since last year's release of "Necktie Second," his debut album. He recently saw a tangible reward for his work: the career-boosting inclusion of "If You Don't Love Me" on the soundtrack of Dumb and Dumber. "Ididn'tknowtoomuch about the movie," he said. dumb guys, and i thought description of Pete that was appropriate be DlOCie. I think What 3 lot of people would say is, 'He's from Seattle, but he doesn't For people to have a one-sentence have the Seattle sound. It's more traditional rock." cause it was kind of a dumb song." The catchy tune bounces along with lines like, "I need you more than a sailor needs a breeze," and "I need you more than an Eskimo Freeze." Droge said he wrote it because he needed a fast song for his live set. "A lot of people ask me whetheritwasasonglwrote at a specific time about a specific girl," he said. "Not at all. It's more looking at things from the perspective of someone who's in love for the first time. For me it happened around the sixth grade." ' The 25-year-old Seattle native's music has little in common with more famous bands from that city, such as Pearl Jam and Nirvana. Simi Similarly, larly, his best-known song is a little different than the rest of his album. "I would hope that it's a good place for people to start with the album," he said. "I would also hope that ... it would be a situation where if they hear that song and they dig it enough to go buy the record, they will be happy that there's more depth and substance to the rest of the album." Droge's music is actually a nice fit with Petty's. "Necktie Second" is a songwriter's album, 'iminated by slower pop-rock songs. The only thing grunge about him is his stringy dark hair and the weathered Gram Par Parsons sons T-shirt he wears to an interview. Reflective, often bittersweet songs like "Northern Bound Train" and "Fourth of July" are typical of his work. Droge dates his musical career to picking up a ukelele at age 4. As a teen-ager he was writing songs, with one of his first perfor performances mances at a political fund-raiser 'They paid me $10 cash, so I was pretty stoked," he said. He loudly sang Bob Dylan's "The Times They Are a Changin'," hoping the audience would perk up to the line, "Come senators, congressmen, please heed the call." No, no one paid attention. Droge later led a "good-time, boot-stompin', whiskey-drinkin'" band called Ramadillo. But he wanted people to listen to his lyrics. And it was frustrating that when record labels were flocking to Seattle looking for the next Nirvana, Ramadillo was overlooked because its style was so different. - At a time when musi cians flocked to Seattle hoping to be discovered, Droge moved to Oregon. Eventually, however, a Seattle connection paid off. His friend, Mike McCready of Pearl Jam, helped him make a demo tape and played it for Brendan O'Brien, who was producing a Pearl Jam record. O'Brien signed Droge to American Records. "For people to have a one-sentence description of Pete Droge, I think whatalotofpeoplewould say is, 'He's from Seattle, but he doesn't have the Seattle sound. It's more traditional rock,'" he said Droge admires such artists as Dylan ; J.J. Cale, Neil Young and Parsons - a country-rock pioneer who died when Droge was a toddler. Many who have heard his music believe it comes from someone much older. Droge spent several weeks opening shows for Melissa Etheridge before hooking up with Petty. He hopes to continue touring as an open opening ing act this summer. Touring with Petty was a thrill, Droge said. The veteran rocker complimented Droge and told him about a good brand of tea that can help preserve his voice. "He's given me a lot of good pointers here and there - simple things like 'Make sure you get enough sleep,'" he said. Droge said he has tried to follow that advice. -Brendan O'Brien, American Records i n- PARTY TO Ttt2?

Ceballos explained that while many English translations exist for the play, many better serve the more stiff and less heartfelt acting style of the English tradition.

Montana, 38, led the 49ers to Super Bowl championships in 1982, 1985, 1989 and 1990. He was a three-time Super Bowl MVP. Montana was famous for his last second heroics. He will prob probably ably be most remembered for "The Catch" that sent the 49ers to their first Super Bowl in 1982. No one but Montana knows for sure if the third-down touchdown pass to Dwight Clark was intended to be incomplete to stop the clock and give the 49ers one more chance at a touchdown.

Senior Shawnee Summer also contributed to the production as the Costume Designer, part of her se senior nior project. The play revolves around the problem of lack of money for mem members bers of the aristocracy and their shock at this dramatic change of circumstances. With such a large cast, many small subplots are also readily noticable.

Sources speaking on condi condition tion of anonymity told The Asso Associated ciated Press that Lightfoot, 24, was being held at the state mental hospital in Concord to determine if he is competent to be charged. The FBI said Lightfoot had been i n state custody for five days, but had not been arrested or ar arraigned. raigned. Under state law, people can be held for their own safety.

Simpson trial than the fall of the dollar or the economic woes of Mexico. "Certainly, we see a need for economics education in the school systems and we're ready to help," said Lynch, director of the IndianaUniversity Northwest Center for Economic Education. Lynch said more schools need to start integrating basic economic theory into everyday lessons so students have a basic understanding of how the economy works by the time they get to high school. Harlan Day is an economics consultant for the Indiana De Department partment of Education. Based at Purdue University, Day is trying to get more teachers focused on teaching about the economy. "Half the kids aren't taking economics, and the problem is the school teacher population doesn't take it," said Day. At Purdue, only a handful of education students take a course designed to teach economics, Day said. It's Day's job to train teachers and get them motivated about teaching about the law of supply and demand. "Indiana has put more re resources sources into economics educa education tion than most states," said Day, who covers northern Indiana while a counterpart covers the rest of the state. There are some programs in place to give students a taste of economics in the real world, whichstudents seem be enjoying. At River Forest Hi gh School, students will hold an international trade symposium May 10 featur featuring ing speakers from Canada and Mexico. Students there are also are involved in a project with IUN in which they interview business officials who trade with Canada and Mexico. At Yost Elementary in Por Porter, ter, students formed a board of directors and launched a com company pany to produce stationery called Yost Notes. They borrowed $ 1 ,000 from a bank and created, assembled and sold their prod product. uct. At Liberty Elementary in Hobart, students in seven classes earn play money for completing assignments, having good atten attendance dance and maintaining a clean desk. About once a month, stu students dents can purchase items with the play money they ' ve accumu accumulated. lated. Lynch, who directs the popu popular lar Stock Market Game played in many area schools, thinks eco economics nomics should be a required sub subject. ject. "There was such a hue and cry nationally about geography because people didn't know where Afghanistan was. I think it's better that people know where the Federal Reserve Bank is." Fired Snapple-drinker Assoicated Press He was sacked for swigging the Snapple he was supposed to be stocking in stores. Now a Paterson man has been seized for allegedly swiping a Snapple delivery truck loaded with the sweet stuff. But Kevin Simpkin's scheme ran into a snafu after he stole the unmanned truck from outside a Fair Lawn supermarket on Monday, po police lice said. While maneuvering through Bergen County, the truck hit a util utility ity pole in Hillsdale but kept on going, said Leonia Detective Lt. August Greiner. Greiner said Simpkin was on his way to New York City to sell the truck and its contents but had made a wrong turn and gotten lost. The truck was stopped in Leonia, High school Assoicated Press Alaska's largest city has a high school student on the school board. Kelly Haney, 18, defeated in incumbent cumbent school board member Joe Marks by 252 votes for a seat on the Anchorage School Board. Haney, a senior at Dimond High School, defeated the only man on the school board, garnering 21,258 votes to Marks' 20,706. In the other school board race, citywide PTA president Kathi Gillespie easily outdistanced four opponents and won her first try for elective office. While Gillespie will be sworn in on May 8, there's a question of ' where Simpkin, wearing a Snapple Beverage Corp. delivery uniform, was arrested. Simpkin's 17-year-old nephew, also from Paterson, was in the truck and was arrested. Simpkin, 27, was taken to po police lice headquarters, where his Snapple addiction was discovered. "He just has an uncontrollable appetite for Snapple beverages," Greiner told The Record of Hackensack in Tuesday's editions. "He even had a Snapple T-shirt depicting a bottle of iced tea under his uniform. This guy just loves Snapple," Greiner added. But Simpkin's love of the iced tea and soft drink line cost him his job as a deliveryman for the Valley Stream, N.Y. -based company. Greiner said Simpkin had recently lost his job with Snapple's distribu student wins whether Haney can take office be before fore she graduates from Dimond on May 26.

Simpkin had allegedly drunk bottles of Snapple he was supposed to be stocking on store shelves, Greiner said. Greiner added that Simpkin seemed angry when asked about his relationship with the Snapple com company pany but gushed happily about the product. "I asked if he enjoyed working for Snapple and he seemed agitated and sighed," Greiner said. "But he seemed more pleasant when he told how much he loved Snapple and always kept a lot of the drinks at home."

Willamette swept Linfield for the ''"first time in 17 years last weekend. They beat them in an away game Friday in McMinnville, and twice at home on Saturday. Linfield had been second in the conference before they took on the Bearcats. They were having an im im-pressive pressive season, having beaten Lewis & Clark State from Idaho, the number one NAIA Division II , team in the coun coun-try try twice this year inpre-seasonplay. Willamette, who was sixth in the league with a 3-6 conference j. record, has re- deemed itself with the sweep and left Linfield' s baseball team devestatcd in the process. The Bearcats are now tied for third in conference with Pa Pacific, cific, while Linfield has dropped to sixth. "Going into Linfield we were pretty much clear of any chance of going to the regionals, and we wanted to play well and get a chance to re rebuild build for next year," said junior sec second ond baseman Joe Belcher.

Several players had outstanding performances in the weekend series. SenioroutfielderMitchPanghad three doubles including one on the first pitch of the game. Freshman Robin Heath had two hits in his first start at third base. Saturday turned out to be more of the same for the Bearcats.

Joe Belcher, junior Everything came together at the right only three hits off of Huetten the en entire tire game. Huetten, who pitched the whole game, is 3-1 in conference. Junior trans transfer fer first baseman Bryan Hall scored the only run of the game, when Heath's slow roll rolling ing ground ball was misplayed by the Linfield defense. Freshman pitcher Matt Kosderka pitched the second half of the action action-packed packed double header. Kosderka, now 2-2 in conference and 3-3 over overall, all, led the Bearcats to their 10-3 win. After coming back from a 1-0 deficit in the second, Belcher got a base hit in the third, followed by senior outfielder Kelly Evans' grounder by the Linfield short stop. Sophomore shortstop Chad Westwood then hit a ball by Linfield' s second baseman, scoring both Evans and Belcher, who was moved over to second when Pang drew a walk. Junior first baseman Sam Holloway then hit a sacrifice fly to bring in Pang. Sophomore catcher Jason Kelly secured the lead with a double that brought in sophomore designated hittercatcher Ryan Flynn and senior outfielder Mick Glaze, giv giving ing the Bearcats a five run lead. The game was quiet again until the Bearcats erupted in the fifth in inning. ning. Junior third baseman Jay Lindeman's bunt advanced freshman pinch runner Tim Ouska to second. Westwood then scored Ouska with a long fly ball to right field. Then with Belcher, Pang and Westwood on base, Flynn hit a triple, giving the Bearcats a nine run lead and leaving Linfield players in dis dismay. may. Kosederka allowed only two more runs to score, securing the Bearcats third straight victory. School rivalry and clutch hitting, coupled with strong pitching, made for the team's sweep of Linfield pos possible. sible. "Linfield is our rival and we al always ways get up for playing them," said junior utility Kevin Edlebrock. "We executed this weekend and seemed to be more agressive at the plate. Plus our entire pitching staff really stepped it up a notch for the series." Willamette dropped a game to Western Oregon State College Tues Tuesday day in Monmouth, 3-0. Junior Tony Maddeson pitched the loss, moving his record to 0-2 for the season. Edelbrock said that it was "more like a scrimmage atmosphere" with both teams going deep into their pitch pitching ing staffs and the Western team not being "excited" about coming to Willamette to play. To earn the playoff berth the Bearcats want, the team will have to win the majority of conference games, which they will be playing on the road in the next three weeks. The -JCK ,?.... " " i . unior Tony Matteson pauses after foul tipping in Saturday's win over Linfield. This is the first time in 1 7 years Willamette has swept Linfield. Bearcats play Whitman in three games this weekend and Pacific Lutheran in their last three confer conference ence games May 6-7. The non-conference loss to West Western ern won't affect the team's games this weekend, Edelbrock contends. "That's not going to affect this weekend, we're still riding off the Linfield games." As for PLU, "We've talked about it but we're completely focused on Whitman," he said. The team is in a do-or-die situa situation: tion: losing one game to Whitman could leave them with a short season. "We're in a situation that if we win all six of them, we believe we will go to regionals," said Belcher. "We're going to win one game at a time. But basically, we are going to have to win all three at Whitman." With only six conference games left, there is no more room for losses. "We put ourscl ves in a big hole at the beginning of conference with the way we played," said Huetten "Now we've got a legitimate shot bin we' ve got keep playing the way we have been for the next couple of scries." V Men's tennis Team prepares for conference playoffs t f by Doug Lewis Staff Writer Due to rainouts earlier in the season, the men's tennis team has a hectic final week to prepare them for the conference tournament, which begins next week. The Bearcats are to face four opponents in six days beginning with Whitworth College today at 3p.m. Depending on the weather, they will play either on the courts at Willamette or in inside side at the Court Courthouse house Athletic Club. The men have yet to face Whitworth this year, but are antici anticipating pating a close match. "I expect them to be tough, espe especially cially at the top," Head Coach Russ Beaton said. Although the match will not affect the team's record that much, it will weigh heavily when it comes time to seed players for the conference tournament. "We need to win in order to train a good seed," said sophomore Derek McCarthy. McCarthy and senior Allan Vestergaard are still playing together at the number one doubles spot, and can secure a high seed with a win today. "If Derek and Allan beat Whitworth, then they will be assured of at least the number two seed," Beaton said. On Saturday, the men are hosting Pacific Lutheran University at 2:30 p.m. The two teams faced each other last Friday in Tacomain a rain shortened match that was delayed twice due to the wet stuff that just kept falling from the sky. PLU won that one 7-1. The number five singles match was not even able to play because of the rain. "PLU is the best team in confer conference." ence." McCarthy stated. "We played all right, but we could of done better." McCarthy is hoping to do better Plu is hands down the strongest team in the conference. I don't think we can realistically beat them, but we can send a few guys to nationals." Russ Beaton, tennis coach this time around against the Lutes. "Allan was sick last week when we played them, so it was not that good of a match," he said. "We are looking to improve on our last outing." The only winner for Willamette was senior Eric Norland, who contin continued ued his stellar play by beating Chris Egan 6-3, 6-2. Norland and Egan are the top two singles players in conference and are likely to face each other in the finals of next week's tournament. The team is leaving for the tour tournament nament Thursday and are playing Friday and Saturday. PLU is hosting it in Tacoma. PLU, which is ranked in the top 15 in the nation, is heavily favored to win the team crown going in, but Willamette has a shot at taking the individual titles. Norland will probably go in as the favorite in singles, while Vestergaard and McCarthy have a good shot at upsetting the doubles team from PLU. "PLU is hands down the stron strongest gest team in conference," Beaton said. "I don"t think we can realistically beat them, but we can send a few guys to nationals." Because of the fact that only the top team goes to nationals, it is a winner takes all tourney; there is no prize for second place. The only way members of a squad that is not the first place team can go is if they win either the singles or doubles title, or the champions are from the top team, then the people that took second would go in addition to the champs. In addition to this weekend's matches, the men have two next week also. They host Linfield on Tuesday and Portland State on Wednesday. Willamette crushed Linfield earlier in the year 8-0. The PSU match is a makeup for last Wednesday's match. CORRECTIONS Last issue two inaccuracies were printed. Sophomore Abe Cohen was written up as being 0-3 in league.

Senior Geoff Huetten can walk confident knowing he was a big part of Willamct'.e's success last week in their sweep over Linfield and their win over Whitworth April 9. For the second week in a row, Huetten was named NCIC Pitcher of the Week. He shared the honor with Lewis & Clark's left handed pitcher Matt Lindly last week. Huetten pitched his second of two consecutive complete-game shutouts in Willamette's second game against Linfield, Saturday. He yielded three singles, struck out eight and walked two. Huetten's current ERA is a department leader at 3.6 overall and 1 .93 in conference, and he leads Willamette's pitching squad with36 strikeouts in the season. Last year he had an ERA of 2.27. Huetten, who is 3-3 overall has noticed increased consistency on the p;ut of the team as well as himself. "Everything is coming into place for everybody. If our defense and hilling continues like they have been, it makes our jobs as pitchers really easy." Willamette's baseball team will need Huetten's leadership and pitching ability to help them to qualify as one of the eight teams for the Far West Regional Tournament. The top two teams in conference will qualify. Willamette (10-14-1) is currently ranked fourth of the seven conference teams. Pacific Lutheran (17-6) is in first with Whitworth (8-9-1) and Pacific (14-9) both in the running. "We put ourselves in a big hole at the beginning of conference with the way we played.

Portland State collected 13 hits in the first game and 15 in the second to outscore the Bearcats. They also took advantage of four Bearcat errors in the second game. "It's been really frustrating to not have games," said freshman first baseman Brook Johnson of the Bearcat's inability to play out their schedule due to poor weather condi conditions. tions. The Bearcats will return to North Northwest west Conference action this week weekend, end, as they take on Pacific in adouble adouble-header header tomorrow at Bush's Pasture Park, with the first game starting at noon.

Also, Willamette placed. The women swept Lewis & Clark's competition, com coming ing in first in both varsity and junior varsity rows. Rowing in a longer course was good conditioning for the team, Head Crew Coach Cindy Cavanaugh contends.

Heinly is by Matt Kosderka Staff Writer It took senior Allen Heinly almost four years to break Jeff Fowler's school record of 15-6 in the pole vault. It took him only a week to do it again. Heinly, who broke Fowler's record two weeks ago in the NCIC multi-event meet with an effort of 15-7, broke the record again only moments later, clearing 15-1 1. "I was going to quit and call it a day," said Heinly, who also com competes petes in the triple and long jumps. "But the coaches said I should keep going and there were a lot of people watching." His performance was surpris surprising, ing, considering he was not feel feeling ing well and a constant drizzle was falling on Charles Bowles Track. "Everyone thought it was kind of a joke," said Heinly, con considering sidering the track conditions. Only one week later, at the Pacific Lutheran Quadrangular, Heinly broke his own school record, clearing 16-0. Heinly felt that his success this season is due to his early start. '1 think the thing that helped me out a lot, was the indoor season," said Heinly, where his best effort was 15-0. Improving an entire foot in a season is not unheard of, but is rare. Heinly says that a lot of the credit has to be given to his coach Paul Wilson. "I have to credit that to my coach," he said of his im impressive pressive improvement this sea season. son. "He's been teaching me a lot of new things. I'm finally getting the hang of it." Having already destroyed the school record, Heinly has now set his sights on going even higher.

Although they did not do as well as they would of liked to do on Tues Tuesday, day, overall everyone struggled more on the second day. The course was much more difficult on Tuesday, and showed in the scores. They did not drop any places in the standings due to the higher scores all around, but did fall farther back from the third place team. "Everyone was disappointed," said Head Coach Stephen Prothero. "The course was generally difficult and our scores went up." Pacific Lutheran University is currently in first place followed by Pacific University, Linfield, Willamette, Whitman, and Lewis & Clark. The men are looking to improve in the last two days of the tourna tournament, ment, something that has been diffi difficult cult to do this season. "We have not flying high 5)," he said. He also wouldn' t mind break breaking ing the Northwest Conference record of 16-6. "My jump coaches think that I have a good chance to do it," said Heinly. "I just got a new pole and it is supposed to add a foot." When Heinly cleared 15-7, he qualified himself for the NAIA Division II National Meet, which will be held on May 25-27 in Azusa, California. With his suc success cess this season, Heinly thinks that he has a good shot at winning the national championship. "I'm hoping to do pretty good," he said of his chances at the national championships. His mark of 16-0 feet puts him in second in the nation for now, and based on the 16-0 mark that won the indoor title, Heinly ' s chances are as good as anyone's. As for qualifying in the triple or long jumps, that will depend on how quickly his recently suf suffered fered ankle injury recovers. He hurt the ankle in practice two weeks ago, when he slipped in the wet conditions. Heinly is hoping that his tol tolerance erance for pain, that he has built up while playing receiver for the Bearcat football team will allow him to compete in the long and triple jumps at least by the confer conference ence meet, which will take place May 5-6 in Spokane, Washing Washington. ton. Based on Heinly's results so far this season, it looks as if he will have a good chance to sweep the conference title as well as the national title in the pole vault. That is if his ankle totally heels by then. After all, he did clear 16-0 with the injured ankle, there is no telling how high he can go when it returns to full strength. improved much," Prothero com commented. mented. "Things have been pretty much an even keel." The women's golf team mean meanwhile, while, is a much different story. They have been improvingsteadily all year, and hope to continue the trend through the con fcrence tournament next week. They are currently competing in the Western Washington University Invitational in Bellingham, Wa. The tournament started yesterday and goes through today. "The women have definitely shown improvement during the sea season," son," Prothero stated. The conference tournament is next Thursday and Friday at Illahe. Women's golf is not yet an official conference sport, and thus the partici participation pation is small. The only other school that fields a team is Pacific. Willamette will be favored to win the tournament, because they have beaten Pacific all three times they have faced them in tournaments this season.
