Jeff Smith, who is a Resident Assistant at Kaneko, and one of the future ISAT troop leaders describes it as "an opportunity to get off cam campus, pus, in an relaxed atmosphere; meet some people." The ISAT will be a chance to "work with skills; group bonding skills."

The latest victim: A lobbyist for the timber industry in Califor California. nia. Gilbert B. Murray, 47, was killed Monday when a mailed pack package age bomb went off in his Sacra Sacramento mento office. Murray, president of the California Forestry Association, was the third person killed in 16 attacks attributed to the so-called Unabomber since 1978. Twenty Twenty-three three people have been injured. The attacker was dubbed Unabomber because many of the bombs were sent to universities. Only once before has the bomber written a letter - in June 1993 to The New York Times in which he claimed to be part of a group and espoused an anarchistic philosophy. Agents said, however, that they doubt he belongs to a group and called the Times letter a "trial balloon." Now, in light of the recent let letters ters in Murray's case, investigators believe the bomber has broken his long silence, said the law enforce enforcement ment source. A San I rancisco-based task force of FBI, Postal Service and Nuclear waste yields by Aviva L.

Now they're helping fight disease with radioactive iso iso-tppes tppes salvaged from the nuclear waste. "We're taking things that were used for weapons and we're using them to save lives," said Bob Schenter, a Westinghouse Hanford Co. scientist and one of the nation's leading experts in medical isotopes. Getting the isotopes to patients who need them is Schenter's mis mission sion at Westinghouse Hanford, which has the responsibility of mar marketing keting and ensuring the purity of the isotopes. His primary concern is yttrium yttrium-90, 90, which shows promise as a can cancer cer treatment.

Joe Enloe said bomb fragments con contained tained the "signature" of the Unabomber. "This is a very brave, brazen person in the sense that he's not really hiding the fact that the bomb is his," Enloe said. The force of the shoe box-sized bomb sent fragments 42 meters (140 feet) into the building's reception area, he said. The package was addressed to Murray's predecessor, William Dennison, who left the job a year ago. The Postal Inspection Service is tracking where and when the bomb was mailed, said spokesman Dan DeMiglio. "It was an extremely cleanly wrapped package, almost flawlessly wrapped. It appeared to have no seams. It was clearly addressed," DeMiglio said. A composite drawing of the bomber was distributed after he was spotted dropping off a package in weights. For example, uranium-235 and uranium-238 - used in atom bombs and nuclear reactors - are isotopes of uranium. Exploration of possible medi medical cal applications has been under way since the dawn of the nuclear age, when physicists determined the range of isotopes and their proper properties. ties. While not all have known uses, some, such as iodine-131, have been enlisted to treat thyroid conditions. Others are used for "imaging" that allows doctors to see organs and tumois more clearly than X-rays. While many isotopes are cre created ated using nuclear reactors, PNL scientists in 1990 found a way to chemically extract a purer form of yttrium-90 from strontium-90, a by byproduct product of fission. Hanford and lo local cal economic development officials are trying to interest private indus industry try in that process. Hanford, where plutonium was made for the atom bomb dropped on Nagasaki, Japan, at the end of World War II, is the nation's most contaminated nuclear site. The cleanup is expected to cost more than $50 billion and take more than Tehachapi earlier this month and also was responsible forthe deaths of a cat and bobcat in nearby Keene.

His latest, be before fore Monday's attack, was in De December, cember, when a bomb killed adver advertising tising executive Thomas Mosser in his New Jersey home. Monday's bombing about four months after the Mosser attack fits a pattern similar to bombings since 1982. In each case except one, a first bombing was followed by a second in a week to a few months. The Mosser attack and Monday's bombing are the latest to show the Unabombcr's apparent fascination with wood. Mosser lived on Aspen Drive. Murray was a lobbyist for the tim timber ber industry. Earlier victims in included cluded Percy Wood, then-head of United Airlines. He lived in Lake Forest. The Unabomber has used phony return addresses on his mail bombs that have included Ravenswood and Forest Glen Road. One bomb was encased in a book cover embossed with a tree leaf.

Although the isotope research deals with just a fraction of the waste, Schenter said, "We're not making any new nuclear waste, and we're taking a bomb material and using it to save lives. Who couldn't be for this?" The U.S. Energy Department site is managed by Westinghouse Hanford Co., which, with other con contractors tractors such as Pacific Northwest Laboratory, does research and de development velopment as well as oversees the cleanup. The DOE and other agencies also finance research into finding better isotopes for medical treat treatment ment and determining the effec effectiveness tiveness of such treatments. Research into yttrium-90's medical potential began in the late 1980s. Researchers began using it in clinical trials for treatment of Hodgkin's disease - a cancer of the lymph nodes - in the early 1990s. The isotope produced positive results in 75 percent of 60 Hodgkin's disease patients in the most recent clinical trial, said Dr. Huibert Vriesendorp, the radiation oncologist who conducted the re Visits by wives approved by Iraq WASHINGTON -Iraq has approved visits by the wives of two impris imprisoned oned Americans, but U.S. efforts to have a Polish diplomat see them remain stymied.

FBI broadens search by Michael J.

Agents pored over truck loads of material seized in searches in the states of Michi Michigan, gan, Kansas, Arizona and Florida. In Oklahoma City, bomb ex experts perts continued to sift the blast site rumble; a small army of computers helped investigators keep track of the tide of data.

Though the pace of tips had slowed since the line opened last Thursday, calls still were com coming ing too fast to log for assignment to field agents. "There are investigative ac activities tivities occurring literally throughout the United States," said Weldon Kennedy, the FBI agent in command in Oklahoma City. He said the top priority was finding the square-jawed man the FBI says helped rent the bomb van in Junction City, Kansas, search at the M.D. Anderson Can Cancer cer Center in Houston. "These are patients who have failed all other treatments: They've failed chemotherapy, they've failed radiation from the outside, and usu usually ally they also have failed bone-marrow transplants. "When they come to us, they really don't have any other treat treatments ments available to them," Vriesendorp said. For three-fourths of the patients, yttrium-90 shrank the tumors until they disappeared. But while the treatment causes remission, it's not a cure. In most cases, the tumors recurred within a year. In the treatments, yttrium-90 is attached to a protein called a mono monoclonal clonal antibody. Such a protein is sometimes dubbed a "magic bullet" because, when injected, it goes di directly rectly to the cancer, bypassing healthy tissue. It appears yttrium-90' s effec effectiveness tiveness could be increased by changing the "magic bullet" pro protein, tein, which researchers are working on now, Vriesendorp said.

Yousef's lawyer, Roy Kulcsar, said outside court that Yousef was not surprised the death penalty might be sought. Three men already convicted in the trade center bombing were each sentenced to 240 years in prison by Duffy. Yousef appeared in court along with Abdul Hakim Murad, his al alleged leged accomplice in the plot to last Monday. Agents wrapped up a 72-hour-long search of James Nichols' farmhouse in Decker, Michigan, where the only man charged in the case, Timothy McVeigh, is said to have previ previously ously resided. In Kingman, Arizona, a desert town along Route 66 in the western part of the state where McVeigh shared a furnished trailer with a pregnant girlfriend, FBI agents conducted a series of searches beginning Friday. A bomb blast had been re reported ported in a desolate area near Kingman a couple of months ago, and Kennedy said, "McVeigh had been in Arizona, and we are vigorously pursuing whether or not he was present at that time." The FBI obtained a search warrant Sunday for the house of McVeigh's sister, Jennifer Lynn, in Pensacola, Florida. The warrant authorized law enforcement agents to search her house and pickup truck for ex explosive plosive devices, diagrams on bomb-making, documents with Timothy McVeigh's name on them, manuals from paramili paramilitary tary groups and written, elec electronic tronic or pictorial documents associating individuals to the Oklahoma City bombing. fects associated with traditional ra radiation diation and chemotherapy, he noted. Yttrium-90 has strong beta emissions to attack targeted tissue -and a relatively short 64-hour half- life - meaning its strength is halved every 64 hours.

Within a few days, the amount of radioactivity it gen generates erates is too small to be measured, q "The halflife ... is low enough so the protein can get into cancer but it .doesn't keep producing ra radiation diation long after the cancer cells are dead, and the energy of the radiation is high so you get very good tissue penetration," Vreisendorp said.

Compiled from Collegian Wire Services c News April 28, 1995 The Collegian Professor Lord pens final chapter of long career by Amy Schlegel Staff Writer A cup of tea, a breeze floating through the big open window and a bookshelf full of stories and memo memo-rii rii spanning over 30 years makes Eaton 216 a haven for the past, present and future. Professor of En English, glish, Richard Lord's office will find itself vacated at the end of this semester and the books and the tea w;-u find another home. After 3 1 years of serving Willa Willamette mette University and working under five different presidents, Lord has decided to retire this spring. Re Reflecting flecting on his career, Lord said, "It's been a delight working here all th'3e years." One of the most enjoyable as aspects pects of Willamette for Lord has been the spirit of the English depart department ment as a whole. He said he is "very fortunate to be a part of a department of delightful people." "Another pleasure in Lord's ex experience perience at Willamette are "the op opportunities portunities that have been given to the faculty to offer courses in sub subjects jects we are particularly interested in." He said he has found the admin admin-isi.ution isi.ution to be very cooperative and finds it very beneficial to teach these courses because they complement the required curriculum. Lord's service to the English department far exceeds teaching cr3es. Throughout the past 31 years Lord had contributed greatly to the constantly developing cur curriculum riculum in the department. The de velopment of the minor in Classics currently offered at Willamette took the work of a great number of people. Lord's involvement was crucial, however, as he began teaching courses in Latin spawning enough interest to set the minor's creation into motion. Lord also began teaching inter interdisciplinary disciplinary courses very early on, which he enjoyed a great deal. In 1 972 the college implemented a pro program gram to rotate the English Chair between faculty members. Lord became the first professor to chair the English department on this rotating basis from 1972 to 1975. He chaired the department again during the 1993-94 school year. In addition to contributing to the English department, Lord's service to the Willamette community as a whole surpasses expectations. At one point or another throughout his ca career reer he served on all the major com committees. mittees. The Faculty Council, the Status Committee and the Academic Pro Programming gramming Board are just a few ex examples. amples. Another position which he held was that of Associate Dean, a position created in order to relieve the complexi ty of the duties the Dean of Liberal Arts possesses. Lord served in this capacity under both Dean Berberet and Dean Carson from 1987 to 1989. The changes, excluding the physical appearance of the univer university, sity, have been minimal according to Lord. The most apparent change to Lord is that he has seen the faculty Professor Lord taught in the English department and watched the campus change over the past 3 I years. grow and not just in terms of num numbers. bers. They have gained quality and scholarship throughout the years. His one regret is that the univer university sity has not been able to increase the number of minority students on cam campus. pus. Born in Wisconsin and complet completing ing all of his higher education in St. Louis, Missouri, Lord hails from the midwest. "Despite this." he says, "one would be very reluctant to leave this beautiful part of the country." Thirty Thirty-one one years allows one to develop quite an attachment to Oregon according to Lord. He will remain in Salem and continue teaching one course every semester for the next two years. He also hopes to pursue his own writing interests. Lord's favorite writer is John Milton and his future writing will most likely reflect this interest along with his teaching ex experiences periences dealing with Milton. The fall semester of 1964 marked the beginning of a long and prosper prosperous ous career. It began an accumulation of memories and stories one could listen to for hours on end. The vast number of students Lord has encountered remain in his mind just as they were when they passed through the classrooms of ihis uni university. versity. Encountering them loday is like returning to the past for a mo moment. ment. The walls of the office Lord has occupied since 1972 have witnessed both past and present. Soon it will face a new future and although the tea cups and books shall soon be gone, the breeze will continue to drift through the open window just as Lord's name and contributions shall continuously ef effect fect the Willamette community. u i ri 1 .1 (&U Hj f i h rl Columnists Bi-weekly or tri-weekly deadlines Opportunity to create your own cult Determine your own subject matter Writing support from editorial staff Send two sample columns and a cover letter to Mark Furman, 900 State St. C 1 28, Salem, OR 97301 .

Wasn't it just the other day that classes for the Fall semester were starting in earnest? In the Collegian office, it seems like just yesterday that we taped the front page of the first issue on the wall. We blinked for a second, and suddenly there are 27 back back-issues issues covering two sides of the office. Like everyone else, we have taken a few seconds out of our frantic schedules this week to try to gain some per perspective spective on the past year. What have we learned? What mistakes have we made? What would we do differently if given the chance? And though we are usually quite critical of our suc successes, cesses, it is important to realize that the mere fact that most of us are still relatively sane and academically eligible to return next semester should be some consolation. Did we try our best? Aside from a few lapses when we slept or slacked instead of working on papers or doing reading, did we put in an honest effort? At the Collegian, there is the oft-repeated legend of a former features editor who went crazy after finishing his obligations on the last issue of the paper one year. The second he finished his work, he ran out of the office with a crazed laugh, hopped on the next plane for Chile, and was never seen again. Your year wasn't that bad, was it? UC renovations cause trouble Have you noticed the large trucks, dust and fencing around the UC lately? If not, where have you been? It is impossible to not notice the construction that is taking pla :e in front of the UC. The ground can be felt shaking and the trucks can be heard revving their engines and' breaking up cement across campus. The problem is not so much that the work is being done. We think it is great that by starting early the renovations will presumably be done by the time school starts in August. The problem, though, is the inconve inconvenience nience and annoyance that the construction is causing. Administrators should have noticed that it is nearing finals and the noise can be heard in the library, which is the place many students rely on to be quiet and peaceful. The problem also has an economic side. The Bistro has been losing money since the construction started because of the inconvenience to actually get there and it is no longer suitable for studying. As one Bistro Manager said, "It's been loud and lonely." So what can be done now to appease the students with nowhere to study and headaches from the noise? Nothing unfortunately. We have to deal with it. Try another library to cram for exams. You can still sit outside and enjoy the weather, but don't forget your earplugs or walkman (full blast, of course). Put on your hiking boots and trudge through the metal, dirt, cement, rocks and dust to get your mail or get to the Bistro. That coffee or swig of caffeine can help you stay up late enough to when the construction has been stopped for the day and there is the peace that Willamette is used to having.

Opinion April 28, 1995 Tfje Collegia n WISH construction needs consideration for residents ' The time has come (and most likely gone) for me to bring a situ situation ation to light which not everyone on campus is aware of. All but the most severely observationally challenged may have noticed the subtle changes occurring on our campus, such as legating buildings, gravel paths to nowhere, and the melodious sound of metal saws separating concrete from concrete outside the UC. Though the lovely sight of giant tractors outside of Goudy is not particularly appetizing, most of us caTamile in the face of construc construction, tion, provided it does not follow us into our dorms and day to day life. This has not been an option for residents of WISH, the International Studies House. , Let's look at a possible, albeit woTse than usual, morning on the first floor. Construction begins at 7:20 (contrary to requests, demands, and threats from Residence Life, the 8 a.m. rule is too much for the inspired dry wall artists to abide by). Thv movement begins with the gentle sounds of drills and ham hammers mers on the other side of your head headboard, board, gradually building to a satis satisfying fying creschendo which can not only be heard, but seen in the undula undulations tions of the 2nd floor.

Take, for example, the income tax, which wasn't legal until 1916. Of course, it had been used before that, most notably during and immediately after the Civil War. The point is that th(?overnment at least had to give the implementation of the income tax the bit of thought required in order to morally break the law. How would life have been be before fore the income tax? Well, most government money came from ex excise cise and duty taxes as well as land sales. So, you knew how much you were paying, and you could change your behavior if you didn't want to pay taxes. Now, though, money is taken ou'jpf our pockets before it ever gets there. The more we work, the more taxes we pay. Unlike sales taxes and duty taxes, there is no way to legally avoid paying more taxes. That is, unless you can afford to hire slews of highly-paid attorneys and accountants to try to find one of thousands of loopholes in the cur current rent tax structure. It has been said that the income tax has turned the American middle class into a criminal class. Most of us can't afford the mercenary tax tax-evf.'ing evf.'ing aides. The income tax punishes invest investment ment and savings, as interest and profits on investments can be taxed, but spending is not.

You could decide to make breakfast, but the microwave is AWOL and besides, the fire alarm is ringing. Again. You notice as you shuffle out in your slippers that the workmen have already staked out their lunchtime spots in front of the basement television. You smile as you leave the building because you know that the television, along with the heat, has still not been fixed. Sorry, boys. This may sound like the open opening ing scenes of a sitcom comedy, but it is unfortunately a compilation of real, recurrent annoyances in WISH over the past year. Nothing is in included cluded that happened only once, just as nothing is fabricated. Of course, small things like water and televisions are not exactly earth shat shattering, tering, but they do tend to stretch humor to its limits when they are facts of life in an expensive private school, and no other dormies can share the same experiences. It is all too easy for me to point fingers right about now. I refuse to blame, for example, all the internal political problemslack of program of income tax necessary the-board rate decreases, they are chastized for trying to implement trickle-down economics. The in income come tax has become a battle field The Liberty Bell Jeffrey T.

In 1986, a coalition of politi politicians cians in Washington attempted to clean up the tax laws. They suc succeeded ceeded in reducing the number of tax brackets from 14 to two. How However, ever, large tax breaks still existed for the oil industry, home owners and other interest groups. The sen sentiment timent now? The income tax is be beyond yond repair, and must be entirely overhauled, even entirely replaced. Two primary proposals have begun to circulate through the halls of Congress. The plan proposed by Representative Dick Armey (R) from Texas calls for a shortened tax-return form with a very limited number of exemptions and breaks. His plan would include a flat rate of about 1 7 percent and no capital gains or investment taxes. The plan would be revenue-neutral. The appeal of this reform is its simplicity relative to the current process now employed by the IRS. However, its fault is that it leaves in place the IRS, and leaves itself open to becoming much like.thc tax structure now in place. Another, more radical and bet better ter revenue-neutral plan has been put forward by Representative Bill Archer (R), also of Texas. Archer is the Chair of the Ways and Means ming follow up in WISH on remod remodeling, eling, since these problems existed before construction began and were only exacerbated, and not caused, by the tension of noise and mess. Obviously no one in particular "meant" to disregard WISH resi residents dents in their plans, cause fewer students to apply, or (my personal favorite) carry out some diabolical scheme to make the entire building an office. No one meant for Fate (aka the City of Salem) to squelch all attempts to keep construction from dragging on. No one meant for construction workers to be so faith faithful ful to the stereotype. (Though I must say that the residents were never harassed directly - only the noise and rubble was a problem.) Residents of my hall are tradi traditionally tionally some of the most adaptable and mature individuals on campus. Most of them have learned, through travel, to deal with change in a way others have not. This does not mean that their needs should not be con considered. sidered. Common sense will say that, just because we can laugh at the brown stuff coming out of the faucet, the assumption shouldn't be made that no one needs to fix it. Of course we know that (ever-so-convenient for purposes of blame) "they" did not actively seek to turn our global village into a war zone. Nor did they intend to send the message that international stu students dents are second class citizens. What we cannot help but notice, how however, ever, is a considerable lack of effort to keep us from feeling this way. Committee, so you can bet this one is going to get a fair hearing. Archer calls for the complete dissolution of the national sales tax, and the firing of the more than 100,000 IRS em employees. ployees. He would replace the cur current rent system with a kind of national sales tax. The sales tax, which would not apply to food and medical care, would be collected by the states, most of which already have institu institutions tions dedicated to the collection of such taxes on the state level, and would have a rate around 15 per percent. cent. This plan would accomplish the worthy goal of drastically re reducing ducing the amount of money the federal government pays to collect its taxes each year. Also, it would allow Americans to know just when and where they are paying their taxes, and whether they think it is worth it. All of these arguments come from the traditional conservative economic view of why the income tax is bad. Another line of attack is becoming more and more accepted by Americans. That is the feeling that the IRS has simply become too invasive into the lives of Ameri Americans. cans. This concern has been voiced for quite some time by libertarians, but now such magazines as The National Review (a magazine not usually opposed to such invasions) are jumping on the "right to privacy bandwagon" in the quest for the destruction of the income tax. From both an economic and a civil liberties point of view, the in income come tax has become a severe bur burden den to Americans. The Republican majority in Congress should do its best to be rid of it, and all its messy bureaucracy. Wouldn't it be nice to have a sane April 15 every year? So few efforts were made to keep the lines of communication open, that it appears from the out outside side as if someone, somewhere de decided cided WISH just wasn't worth the trouble. Perhaps everyone thought someone else was supposed to take care of WISH, or perhaps the flex flexibility ibility of WISH residents made it too easy to expect us to handle any anything. thing. It is not the inevitable cir circumstances cumstances of construction and per permit mit delays which we object to, it is the way in which these were handled (or not). All personal concerns aside, the deeply disturbing message to the Willamette community must be counteracted in order to preserve the reputation of the university. Those who see WISH as a micro microcosm cosm of the international commu community nity cannot help but see contradic contradictions tions between the type of communi communication cation which is said to be ideal, and the type which actually exists be between tween cultures.

Let's head that one off by saying straight away that it would take too long and that I'd lie to you about most of it anyway. Instead, I would like to impart some clos closing ing suggestions on the matter of making Willamette a better place: First things first, I think Wil Willamette lamette could benefit from a little crime and scandal. Sure, crime is bad in one sense - I've had two bikes stolen here - but crime cre creates ates friction, hence drama, and just who doesn't love a good drama? For the logic hounds who love reducing arguments to ab absurdity, surdity, let me qualify a little: murder 'n' people dyin' ain't so great, but a little white collar crime is something that even the kids can enjoy. ASWU would be much more fun to be in and to read about if everyone was embezzling money and spending it ostentatiously. The down side: you wouldn't get the benefit of ASWU's charming events (put the gun down, it gets better). The up side: your treasurer would dri ve a fresh Testarossa and you could avidly hate government just like your parents do.

Assuming this misunderstand misunderstanding ing is indeed an accidental one, let's use the "real world" as a guide. If we were in a "real" apartment, the owners would want to keep their reputations as good people to work with. Otherwise the next year would be empty of tenants. Of course, the most logical so solution lution would be not to lose the sup support port of the tenants in the first place. Since we come upon our landpersons at a time when consid consideration eration is no longer an option, then it is up to management to lower the rent.

"I felt that the decision made by Elections Board (allowing write-ins in the general election) was based on convincing evi evidence dence and fact. I felt very strongly for that. I feel that the decision made by Senate violates the rights of students. I think that students should have the right to vote for whomever they wish. Senate overstepped that right. ...I could not uphold an election dictated by Senate as to who students could vote for and when," said Berneche. In a letter addressed to ASWU President Heather Dahl and the student body, Berneche stated that her decision to resign was based on her conviction that Senate had trampled on the rights of students and urged students to let their voices be heard and not simply accept Senate's decision. "I would encourage constituents to talk to their senators, espe especially cially those who voted for the bill if they feel it violates their ? Girard's theory explains that human desire is imitative, that hu human man beings desire things others de desire. sire. In the development of cultures and societies, this imitative desire leads to competition, which divides a group of human beings beyond any possible unity. The original human society, Hamerton-Kelly conjectured, was so competitive that it could not sus sustain tain itself, until it "produced the antidote to its own disorder, which was the scapegoat." The "lynch-mob" was the first unified human society when a scape scapegoat goat was found, Hamerton-Kelly explained. "The war of all against all became the war of all against one." This mentality allowed a soci society ety to come together against a foe that it erroneously imagined to be very powerful. Since order was re restored stored every time a victim was rights. I would very strongly en encourage courage students to stand up for their rights," said Berneche. "She's provided a strong ser service vice ethic to Senate as a leader and I understand her resignation and support her decision," Dahl said. Berneche said that she decided to resign Thursday night (April 13) at the ASWU Senate meeting. At that meeting, four Senators on Elections Board resigned from the board, in addition to President Dahl's vaca vacation tion of her position as ex-officio member of the board, resignations which Berneche "strongly believed" in. Berneche decided to postpone her decision for 24 hours to be sure of her decision. Four days later, on Monday night at around 10 p.m., Berneche announced her decision to the Al Alpha pha Chi Omega sorority. Berneche submitted her letter of resignation later that evening, and it became effective Tuesday, April 18. The next day, Secretary-elect Norman was sworn in by President Hudson. Following the passing of the bill to allow write-ins in the elec election tion and the resignation of several members of Elections Board, sev several eral senators expressed concern as to whether or not the Secretary and Elections Board would be able to hold the elections as soon as the following Monday.

This gradually developed into a system of ritual sacrifice such as the one described in Leviticus 16. This was the kind of sacrifice system that existed at the temple in Jerusa Jerusalem lem during the life of Jesus. Hamerton-Kelly described the first century temple as a place of central centralized ized power and brutal sacrifices in which priests were immersed in blood. The Gospel of Mark, according to Hamerton-Kelly, was opposed to this savagery of the temple.

Berneche added that she thought she was answering the question of whether or not she would hold the elections at all, and didn't mean to commit to holding the elections Monday and Tuesday. According to Berneche, even though the Senate bill did specify that the elections would be held Monday and Tuesday, Berneche was only obligated to take these dates as suggestions, since the ASWU Constitution gives the Secretary a week to hold new elections. Sunday, April 16, Berneche decided that she would not hold the elections.

"The temple and the cross are the two poles of conflict in Mark," Hamerton-Kelly argued. The temple accordingly rep represents resents a primitive, brutal sacrifi sacrificial cial system and Jesus is a victim of the establishment. To illustrate his point, Hamerton-Kelly interpreted Jesus' discourse with his disciples in Mark 13. Jesus tells his disciples how the temple will be destroyed, "not one stone will be left upon another," and how the temple will lose its purity to "the desolating sacrilege." He interpreted this to mean that after the war the temple "is now disqualified as the place of the di divine vine presence" and that the temple had received what was due to it for the violence that had so long taken place inside.

During World War II, Winston Churchill and Franklin Delano Roosevelt realized the need for an organization which would prevent the terrors of World War II from being repeated, but the two could not agree on the name. One night, according to Time Maga Magazine, zine, Churchill was taking a bath at the White House when Roosevelt just walked right in and told him what the name would be. After that, the title of the United Nations was fixed. James Kutten, another Willa Willamette mette graduate who received his masters degree from the University of Oregon, was the second speaker. He spoke on the current state of the U.N. Kutten emphasized the im importance portance of the United Nations, "If we didn't have the UN it would have to be invented." The UN, Kutten said, is impor important tant forproviding a neutral forum to discuss current issues and also to help with long term problems. He also discussed the policy of the U.N. which prevents them from inter intervening vening in conflicts that take place within a single nation, even civil war. Kutten added that the U.N. has been helpful in preventing many conflicts from getting out of control in areas such as Somalia and the Golan heights. "Even though there are conflicts, the U.N. has prevented them from escalating into major points of conflict." He concluded, The two final pieces of ASWU legislation, both proposed by Sena Senator tor Martin Doera, included a bill stating that a student referendum shall be enacted in the fall concern concerning ing the meal plan for 1996-97 and a resolution to add a U.S. Bank ATM machine to the renovated Univer University sity Center.

Election percentages were re released leased by Secretary Norman, and he raised a concern over the exclu exclusion sion of write-in candidates, as stated by students on their ballots. Some comments included: "I don't like my choices," and a curious political statement about how Stalin's gov government ernment claimed to be holding an election, but they told the people who to vote for, and that ASWU was a modern-day example of that.

Nagappan discussed "What is the new role of the U.S. on the U.N." Nagappan began by giving a brief historical background of the impact the U.S. has had on the U.N. In the past, said Nagappan, presi presidents dents Reagan and Bush have sup supported ported the U.N., but now many people are opposed to it. One congressman has called the U.N. incompetent. Currently the U.S. is sending the U.N. a message that the UN cannot engage in every conflict in the world, Nagappan said. Nagappan also added that he thinks the U.N. "has spread itself to thin." Nevertheless, Nagappan thinks the U.N. has a very important role to play in creating peace. The U.N. is "a voice for people who can' t speak out," Nagappan stated. After each of the speakers had concluded they were asked. "What do you recommend for improving U.N. peace keeping."

Senator Cronick' s main com complaint plaint was that there are only two students who are willing to be ac active tive in Senate and that these stu students dents could not make it to Senate all of the time.

News ;A ' B r i e f a V) New environmental student organization breaks ground A group of environmental science majors have been working on beginning a student organization that seeks to raise awareness about the environment and provide a foundation for students interested in continuing their education, or pursuing a career in the field of environmental science or related fields. The group, The Environ Environmental mental Career Outreach Society (ECOS), characterizes itself as a pre-professional organization, similar to the undergraduate pre-law fraternity, Phi Alpha Delta. For now, the group follows the tenets expressed in their mission statement: Through cooperative outreach to students, faculty, and alumni affiliated with academic disciplines represented at Willamette University, ECOS aims to foster environ environmental mental education, and environmental education and environmental career opportunities." Anyone interested in finding out more about ECOS is encouraged to contact acting President Mike Reynolds (370-6997), or acting Treasurer Shirley Thomas (373-3219).

AUGUST From Opening Days, to Denim Day Willamette's year has been a conglomeration of the diverse programs and personalities of the students who compose its campus. First semester opened with the traditional Opening Days celebration for Willamette's incom incoming ing Freshmen. However, the OD staff, as well as the rest of Willamette's faculty and staff, were more frantically preparing, and bracing, themselves for the larger than expected class of '98. World Views sections were added, and some dorm rooms were designated "opportunity triples" to prepare. Freshmen endured the rigorous programs planned by the OD staff, squeezed into their new rooms and began to settle. Several students re returned turned from break with tales to tell about Lollapalooza '94. Willamette's entering Freshmen, like all classes before them, experienced problems with parking and bookstore overpricing. However, students soon realized that, to a certain degree, acceptance was the key, and they treked to Kaneko to park and handed over their credit cards at the bookstore with minimal grumbling.

SEPTEMBER Pi Beta Phi helped to ease the pain a little with their Arrowspike fund-raiser, held in the lasting sunshine. After these issues had been put to rest, the student lobby for a tuition freeze began. Members of the Willamette Student Lobby presented President Jerry Hudson with a petition requesting a two year tuition freeze and more student input on tuition changes. Comedian and juggler Ron Pierson provided the entertainment for one of ASWU's first programs ofA the year at the full Cat Cavern, September 2. 22 of Willamette's toughest women, most of them freshmen, turned out for the new women's rugby team. Before students knew it. Sex Week, or "the week the campus came together," was upon them. Speakers and a comedian discussed sex in various programs throughout the week, and the week culminated in an evening of "The Dating Game." OCTOBER As September moved into October, sun gave way to wind and rain and new freshmen from out of state were treated to a show cf more typical Oregon weather. 1 8 women pledged sororities during Fall Rush. ASWU turned the Cat Cavern into "A beautiful showroom, filled with glamorous prizes" and sponsored Game Show Night with games of jeopardy, The Price is Right, Let's Moke a Deal, and Family Feud. Art abounded on campus that week also. "Shooting Back," a photography exhibit created with photographs taken by homeless children dealt with contemporary problems while Steinbeck's Of Mice and Men, performed as the theater department's first production of the year, expressed the problems of fifty years ago. TIUA's Harvest Festival coincided with Willamette's Parents weekend. TIUA students successfully combined Yakitori, sumo wrestling, karaoke and several other activities into a fun activity for parents and students. Willamette football fans enjoyed a week near the top after the team's momentous win over PLU, earning them a national rank for the first time since 1 989. Not every Willamette student was celebrating, however. A wave of sick students chose to n-s up the football field in favor of the health center where high numbers of ill students were reported. Is: i l: Jake Storms and Keith Anderson tackled Steinbeck's classic in the Theatre Department's production, Of Mice and Men last fall. NOVEMBER National and statewide election issues fired up around the country in the week prior to the elections, and Willamette students felt the heat OCA member Scott Lively, and professor Scott Palmer faced off over measure 1 3. Many Willamette students chose to protest or support one of the many measures on Oregon's ballot The sororities had an exciting week in early November. A prowler was arrested outside Pi Beta Phi and Delta Gamma early in the week, but the houses remained undaunted and opened their doors to prospective Spring rushees a few days later for an open house. The furor over elections which had been growing for months ended on November 8, Election Day. Several of Oregon's top positions went to Democrats, but across the nation election returns showed the opposite. Republicans won seats in many state positions and also a majority in Congress. The theater department's second production, Blood Wedding, opened the second week in November. ASWU provided a slightly more lighthearted entertainment option: Greg Brady. Barry Williams provided his audience with a plethora of Brady gossip and the steps to the well-known "Sunshine Days" dance. The entire campus got into the spirit of the coming basketball season with Alpha Chi's 3 on 3 basketball tournament for charity. The women's volleyball team helped further the week's athletic theme by winning the conference title and an invitation to the regional conference. Football season ended at Willamette in the middle of November, the team ended with a 7-2 record, their best since 1 974. DECEMBER The first weeks of December found students frantically planningfor next semester. The franticism grew for some students as they found that moving across campus would be harderthan they expected, due to tightened Residence Life policies. Plans were completed for the renovation of the University Center, and students struggled to fit their course selections jnto their spring semester sched schedules. ules. However, these frustrations soon gave way to visions of holiday shopping and finals. The contract for ASWU's Dennis Miller show was put on hold by the administration, who delayed signing the contract out of fears that the $30,000 pledged by ASWU was inappropriate. This was the first of several glitches in ASWU's attempts to bring the big-name performer to campus. In the final days of first semester the TIUA students said good-bye for the year. JANUARY Through the Community Outreach Program 1 8 students volunteered over semester break for causes such as building and remodeling houses for low income families in Portland and AIDS education"1 in San Francisco. Sorority and Fraternity rush occupied the first week back on campus for many Freshmen. Several changes were made to the rush process, and all of the houses enjoyed a successful rush week, with more men and women joining houses than in past years. Willamette students showed their concert for victims of a Japanese earthquake by holding a" bake-sale which raised $400. President Hudson offered tuition relief for incoming Freshmen next year with the unveiling of a fixed tuition plan which would guarantee that tuition remain the same throughout students' aca academic demic careers. FEBRUARY Awareness of rape issues characterized the first week in February. Rape Awareness Week, put on by Willamette's StARTorganization sought to spread awareness through a Wall of Awareness, several discussions and forums, and a Take Back the Night rally and march. The month of February was designated "Un "Understanding derstanding Gender Perspectives" month. One of the first activities put on by the LGBA in celebration of the month's theme was the Drag Show and Dance. February was Black History Month. A week of programming under the name Operation Dream worked to combat racism through several activities and exhibits such as the "American Pictures" pre presentation, sentation, a rally in Jackson plaza, and a service day. February 1 0 saw hundreds of Willamette stu students dents flee to Portland's Masonic Temple, tempted by dancing, carriage rides and romance. Black Tie was a hit among many of the students who attended and broke records for attendance. Valentines Day brought the Chicago comedy troupe, Second City to Smith Auditorium. The troupe performed a series of comedy sketches, made original with audience participation. The day of romance also brought the campus a thick blanket of snow. A new class of TIUA students arrived in Febru February. ary. Bad news for university programming was re reported ported when the Dennis Miller show, slated for March 4, broke his contract with the University. ASWU President Heather Dahl and Vice-President Willie Smith pledged their dedication to ensuring the return of the $ 1 5,000 in university funds which was already -jaid to Miller as a deposit. MARCH Swimmers escaped the rain and flew to Texas for the national swim meet in March. The women swimmers took 6th place and the men's took 1 6th. March began with a series vandalism of inci incidents dents at Kaneko. These instances escalated to arson and graffiti and investigations pointed to racist mo motivation tivation in the vandalism. As the racist actions continued, faculty and students began to make their concern known. When a resident of Kaneko was finally arrested weeks later, the campus began the process of reconstruction. Faculty members signed a petition affirming their respect for human rights. The men's basketball team earned the right to attend the NAIA national tournament for the third straight year, but lost in the quarterfinals. Mean Meanwhile, while, the equally competant women's team was denied an invitation to the tournament, though the team that eventually captured first place had been was defeated by the women's team three times during the regular season. Glee pervaded the campus as Freshmen sought to keep alive the age-old campus tradition. At the end of the program, the Juniors carried the banner, and the seniors donned their beanies and prepared to wade the Mill Stream. The Freshmen class went against the unspoken tradition that says that only Seniors purposefully violate Glee rules and were deducted points for raising their arms during their program. Willamette's parliamentary debate team, after a successful year, won the sweepstakes at the national competition, which was hosted on campus over Spring Break.

As the end of April approaches rapidly, th Willamette community braces itself for the inevi inevitable table stress of finals. Past this dark, looming tunnel, however, blazes the light of a relaxing break, and the promise of another year to review... April 28, 1995 TJje Collegian Jamie Peters Dave Matthews Band Under the Table and Dreaming 'si11 ' The latest offering from the Dave Matthews Band, Under theTable and Zeamg, has done its best to perpetuate the current wave of Rock FolkPopBlues music that has started to take control of both "Top 40" and "New Rock" radio stations. The first single, "What Would You Say," is a superb groovalistic tune that you can' t ignore. It grabs your attention with the opening beats and doesn't let go until the end of the journey through sounds ranging from saxophone and harmonica to acoustic and electric guitar. The rest of this CD tries its best to live up to the standard set by "What Would You Say" but consistently comes up short. This isn't to say that the other twelve tracks are a waste of time. In fact, each song on this album is either a lively jaunt through the genres of rock, pop, folk and blues or a very beautiful ballad. This album's biggest downfall is only ap apparent parent if you have ever listened to an album by Blues Traveler, Big Head Todd and the Mon Monsters, sters, or Hootie and the Blowfish. Under the Table and Dreaming sounds very much like it could have been written by any of these groups and does very little to set itself apart or above. There were only a few songs on this album that grabbed my attention and even these songs started to leave me begging and pleading for something new after the second or third time I listened to them. An example of this is the fifth track "Typical Situation," which is a great song about the ills of conformity, but after listening to this six minute track more than a few times, six minutes became just too much. To those readers who truly enjoy the new southern folk rock, and feel that Hoolie and the Blowfish and Blues Traveler are the two best groups that they have ever encountered, I un unequivocally equivocally recommend this CD. It will be a great addition to your collection. If you aren't as fanatical and you merely feel that southern folk rock is a nice way to break the monotony of pop music, you will probably find this CD to be a disappointment. If I was given this CD as a gift or the evil BMG Music Service sent it to me for failure to return my order form in time, I would probably keep it, but I don't believe that Under the Table and Dreaming will ever make it to my "must have" list. Belly King i ir tr .Ik 1 1 ' "i-fS-. .oT&SlBiui.., t Belly's second album "King" is a strong follow up to their debut "Star" which sold 800,000 copies behind the strength of the single "Feed the Tree." King doesn't have any true stand-out singles, but it is a very complete and cohesive album. Lead singer and guitarist, Tanya Donnelly seems to have finally found her home in the Rock V Roll world. After starting her career with Throwing Muses and then spending a brief stint with The Breeders, Donnelly has settled down with Chris Christopher topher Gorman (drums and precussion), Tho Thomas mas Gorman (guitar and piano), and Gail Green Greenwood wood (bass and vocals). This group of four has established them themselves selves as one of the premier power pop groups in music today and they have built up a strong following. Although I feel that both "Star" and "King" are good albums, I have never been able to truly enjoy Belly's music. Belly's style is too pop oriented for my tastes and I usually get discouraged when lis listening tening to their music and give up before I have spent enough time to decipher the lyrics and experience Belly's music in full. Trying my best to not fall into the same trap when I listened to this CD for the purposes of this review, I found myself having a newly found respect for Belly. Tanya Donnelly's beautifully timid vocals add irony to her strong, forceful lyrics. On the surface, Belly's music is strictly pop rock, but they don't confine themselves to the normally silly topics covered in most pop mu music. sic. Belly is much more true in their emotions expressed and somehow pack some raw power into their flowing music. Ultimately, if you enjoyed Star, you should definitely add King to your collection. If you have never heard Belly, you should definitely check them out, they are a quality group that is continuing to improve and make music that deserves to be given a chance. While You Were Sleeping causes snores &-3 Kara McAnulty To use a food meta phor, this film really re minded me of a whipped- cream pie. At first glance, it looks full of potential and pretty darn yummy. However, after diving in, you soon realize that it is nothing but fluff and you are left feeling unfulfilled. Hence was my disappointment in the newly released flick While You Were Sleeping. While the previews of the film promised a fun-filled ro romantic mantic story, little did I know that the previews contained pretty much the only good parts of the film. Sure, this film was funny, cute and mildly entertaining, but so is America's Funniest Home Videos, and you don't see me paying seven bucks to see that. This film stars the new Holly Hollywood wood golden girl Sandra Bullock in her first real lead, and co-starring are Bill Pullman and Peter Gallagher. The story focuses on Bullock's char character acter Lucy Moderatz, a lonely Chi Chicago cago transit worker whose dreams of a grand life find no realization within her real life. The one bright spot in each of her da"ys, as the film seems to suggest, is in the moYning when Peter Callaghan (played by Gallagher) gives her his token to ride the subway. Of course, he does not even know that Lucy exists, but she falls in love with this handsome and obviously rich man, even though she has never really talked to him. One day, Peter is mugged while waiting for his train, and is pushed onto the tracks. Lucy witnesses this and rushes to his rescue, rolling the unconscious Peter out of the way just before he is to be run over. She goes to the hospital to see how he is doing, and when a nurse overhears Lucy mutter to herself "I was going to marry him," the nurse misunderstands, and thinks that Lucy is Peter's fiancee. That is where the fun starts, as Peter's family shows up, and much to their surprise, there is Lucy, his "fian "fiancee." cee." Things get so crazy, Lucy never has the chance to explain that she really doesn't even know the guy, and things pretty much snowball from there, even resulting in the obviously false rumor that Lucy is pregnant with Peter's child (which the family loves). The whole family just falls in love with Lucy, and she with them. In Lucy, the family feels that they still have a part of Peter if she is there. In the family, Lucy finds the love and fills a void in her heart, as she was never really part of a family. The real twist to the plot comes in when Lucy meets Peter' s brother Jack, who is the polar opposite of his wealthy conceited sibling, and the two begin to fall in love, despite the misconception that Lucy is engaged to the still-unconscious Peter. From that perspective, it all looks like it is going to work out okay, until you remember the whole thing with Peter. When he wakes up, hcof course, has no idea who Lucy is. The doctors blame this on selective amnesia, and the plot thickens. Finally, Peter comes to the con conclusion clusion that he must have really loved Lucy before he went into the coma, and decides to marry her. She gets all the way to the altar before she re reneges. neges. She confesses who she is and about her lie, and leaves. She goes back to her old humdrum life, miser miserable able and depressed. Then Jack shows up (with the whole family in tow) and proposes to her in an adorable fashion. They marry, ride off into the sunset, live happily ever after. This film really was very much like a fairy tale, in its dreamy tone and hard-to-believe plot. It is very sappy, and I feel it probably got a hernia trying to do so. I really felt that the film's purpose was to make the audi audience ence coo and sigh as much as pos possible, sible, in which it was moderately successful. The one really funny part had nothing to do with the rest of the movie, when a paperboy fell off his bike. Adding that in the film only served to highlight the fact that the rest of the film really wasn't that funny. Overall, this film was entertain entertaining, ing, but not overwhelmingly so. Sandra Bullock was eternally cute, and almost knocked herself out try trying. ing. She played the character of Lucy well, but I doubt her ability to really carry a film. Maybe if she were given a stron stronger ger character to work with, her per performance formance would be stronger as well. This film is good if you are looking for romance and a cute storyline, but it falls short of real content. On a side note, please allow this moment for me to compare this film to last year's smash hit Speed. There was Sandra Bullock in both films. She falls in love with a guy named Jack in both films. And there are action-train sequences in both films. Coincidence? Maybe. My obsession with Speed? Probably. You figure it out. As I am graduating in a few short days, this will in fact be my last review. I would just like to take this opportunity to thank all of you for reading my babble about film. It has been a pleasure supplying you with my opinions on the latest endeavors of Hollywood. Take care and I will see you at the movies...

If you pay attention in class, you should know that stuff, it should be a part of you, you've been studying it all semester. I read through my notes, sleep a lot, and I also wear my underwear inside-out," said sophomore MelissaPrichard, describ describing ing her philosophy of finals. However, for the struggling bearcat who wonders how to learn a semester's worth of material in a week or less, final preparation time creates a splitting sound in one's head not unlike the sound of the concrete stairs being chipped off of the front of the University Center. By balancing study times, study breaks, and knowing the tricks to learning things quickly and effec effectively, tively, though, it is possible to maxi maximize mize the positive effects of dedicated study, and possibly convince the un unwary wary professor that even though he doesn't know w ho you are, your amaz amazing ing intellect has been a valuable con contribution tribution to the class. Time Management The first step to studying for a final is to organize study time. Study time should be organized into twenty to forty minute sessions which are interspersed with brief, scheduled breaks. - Each session should focus on a specific task, such as a topic, theme, or chapter, and the student should make an effort to consistently spend the allotted time doing the required task. According to J.J. Gibbs in his book Dancing With Your Books: the Zen Way of Studying, the key to an efficient study time is a clear mind and purpose. The faithful student should recognize the uniqueness of each opportunity to study, and enter into it with excitement and vigor. "Prepare yourself to go on a jour journey ney to a place you have never been where you will learn something new and valuable. Forget about the desti destination. nation. Concentrate on the trip your yourself," self," writes Gibbs. For Gibbs, concentration means not to try and think harder about the material being studied, but to let go of thoughts, distractions, and images which keep one from focusing fully on the task at hand. Although student schedules are already overflowing with time com commitments, mitments, study time can be retrieved when students look foi' "lost time" that forty-five minutes sitting around waiting for Goudy to open, time lost between classes, time spent doing nothing. Experts encourage students to spend a day journaling how they spend their time to discover where that lost time is. Study Breaks For sophc more Rachael Lyddon, study breaks are a natural part of finals week. "You have to take regular study breaks like watching movies, going to Taco Bell, packing to go home, doing laundry. . . pretty much, during finals week, you hang out, watch movies, and think a lot about how much you have to do without doing anything," said Lyddon. Study breaks can get out of hand, though, which is why scheduled study times and goals are necessary. Some Sometimes times a burrito supreme will be the best thing for a hungry student; how however ever one should resist the urge to check their e-mail every five min minutes. utes. Numerous studies have proved that one gets the most out of studying a subject during the first half an hour. After the first half hour, the learning curve deteriorates exponentially, to the point that after four hours of study studying ing the same subject, nothing what whatsoever soever is retained. For this reason, students should try to organize their study sessions into brief 30 minute to one hour time blocks with short breaks in between, following several of these periods with a longer break. Tips for Reading Once students find the perfect balance between study time and break time, they should find the optimal mode of studying, in order to make the most of the time spent cracking the books. Studying might involve a radical rethinking of the way that material is read and learned. Jeffrey Appling, a study-skills expert at Clemson Uni University, versity, challenges the first standby of most students: the highlighter. According to Appling, highlighters actually impede learning because the attitude most often associated with highlighter use is 'This is really im important, portant, I should look at it later." However, the highlighted section is not carefully read the first time, and not likely to be reviewed again: thus, there is no positive effect to high highlighting. lighting. An alternative reading method, known as SQ3R, is designed to make reading more efficient. The acronym stands for survey, question, read, re recite, cite, and review; the five phases are as follows: Survey: In this phase, students should review the material to be read, reading only the section subheads, tables, pictures, summary and con conclusion clusion in order todetermine the struc structure ture of the chapter and its main points. Question: After gaining familiar familiarity ity with the structure of the chapter and the points which will be covered, students are encouraged to formulate questions, based on the subheads to each section. These questions can be simple and should be answered by reading the text, but the important thing is to come up with questions which will focus attention on the im important portant points to be covered in the chapter. Read: Following the formation of questions about the content of the chapter, students can read the text to find out the answers. This kind of reading, which is focused on finding out specific information, will be ac active tive and involved, as opposed to pas passively sively taking in information. Recite: While reading through the chapter, experts suggest that stu students dents should briefly state in their own words the answer to their questions. This should be followed by writing down brief working notes from memory. Review: Finally, after finishing the chapter, students should spend a few minutes in reviewing the mate material rial they have just covered, in order to summarize the information and gain a coherent understanding of the ma material. terial. More on Review Students might be discouraged to know thai at least 80 of the infor information mation they learn will be lost twenty twenty-four four hours later. The solution to this, according to Buzan, is to spend qual quality ity time reviewing information, so that it will be as accessible as a famil familiar iar telephone number when test time comes. According to Tony Buzan in his book Use Both Sides of Your Brain, a one hour learning or studying period should be followed by a ten minute break, after which a review session should follow as soon as possible. In this review, the student should re rewrite write his or her study notes to make them more clear and organized. Ac According cording to one recent study, repeated writing of information has been found to improve memory (Memory and Cognition 1995). This first review session should be followed twenty-four hours later with a succession of short, five minute review sessions. At the beginning of the session, the student should sit down with a clean sheet of paper and write down everything he or she can remember from their notes. After this is completed, the revised notes from the first review session should be consulted to fill in any missing infor information. mation. This brief review process can be repeated as many times as neces necessary sary before the exam itself. Cramming "My philosophy is that you have to sit around and wallow in the feel feeling ing that you have too much studying to do and overwhelm yourself, until you end up cramming a whole lot," said Lyddon. "I study the night before ... I try to look at things a week ahead of time, but it doesn't happen much," added freshman Mike Aiello. Despite their best intentions to the contrary, many students find them themselves selves trying to learn a semester's worth of material the night before an exam. However hopeless the situa situation tion might be, however, there are still strategies which can increase the use usefulness fulness of these situations. RELAXATION TIPS For most students, preparation for a final exam requires die systematic filling of their minds with all applicable information, up until the exam itself. However, such cramming can confuse the mind, jumbling the thoughts and lead to lower performance on the exam. The time right before the exam should be used to relax and clear the mind. In her pamphlet "Yoga and Meditation," Susan Lilly, who teaches yoga at Willamette, gives guidelines for full body relax relaxation. ation. - With the body lying in the relaxation pose (flat on back, feet shoulder-width apart, palms up at sides), tense the entire body, lifting head, arms, and' legs off the floor. Relax. Breathe deeply, abdominally. Inhale deeply, slowly. Exhale long slow deep breaths. Relax the body completely. Now beginning with the feet, tense the feet Tense the calves. Relax. Tense the thighs. Relax. Tighten the buttocks. Relax. Pull the hands into fists, tense the arms, lift them off the floor. Relax. Tighten the abdomen. Relax. Press the back into the floor. Relax. Tighten the chest. Relax. Bring the shoulder blades together, lift. Relax. Tighten the neck and throat. Relax. Squeeze the face down into a tiny ball, squeeze it. Now open the face, the eyes, stick out the tongue, and relax. Roll the head gently from side to side, and relax. Now, letting the body completely relax, observe the body as you mentally command every part of the body to relax. Mentally repeat the following as you relax the body: Relax the feet. Relax the feet The feet are relaxed. Relax the legs. Relax the legs. The legs are relaxed. Relax the hips and buttocks. Relax the hips and buttocks. The hips and buttocks are relaxed. Relax the hands and arms. Relax the hands and arms. The hands and arms are relaxed. The abdomen is relaxing. The abdomen is relaxing. The abdomen is completely relaxed. The chest is relaxing. The chest is relaxing. The chest, the heart, and the lungs are relaxed. The neck and throat are relaxed. The chin, facial muscles, and eyes are relaxed. The head, the brain, and the mind are completely relaxed. Relax the mind completely as you relax the body. Observe the body as it relaxes completely for the next five minutes. According to RobertBlanc, asso associate ciate professor of medical education at the University of Missouri-Kansas City (UMKC), the best thing to do at the last minute is not to study thor thoroughly, oughly, but expediently. Blanc sug suggests gests that instead of trying to read an entire novel in an evening, that stu students dents look up the novel in Masterplots, a book which summarizes the plots for many major texts. Another option when timing is limited is to look up the previous year's exam, and try to remember as many answers as possible. Studying previous exams is more productive than looking through notes at the last minute, since it gives an idea of what should be on the test itself. Although memorizing previous test answers shouldn't take the place of quality time spent reading and reviewing, Blanc maintains that it is an effective return on one's invest investment ment of limited time and energy at the last minute. However, reviewing old tests is more than a last-minute fix: students maintain that it is a vital part of the study process. "Check for tests on reserve -1 had a test today and there were a few questions I bombed, and the answers were on reserve in the library," said freshman Megan Agee. Before the Test With all that studying, it's easy to forget about the most important part: the exam itself. The way in which one approaches the final can be as impor important tant as the studying itself. According to senior Susannah Martin, the best thing to do before an exam is clear one's mind of all dis distractions. tractions. This can be done by sitting down and breathing deeply, inhaling for four counts, exhaling for four counts, imagining the tension flow flowing ing out as one exhales. Martin also said that one should not study up until the final exam itself. "The mind is an amazing instru instrument, ment, it doesn' t forget. It helps if you allow your mind to do its magic. When there's nothing cluttering your mind it's an open challenge," said Martin, noting that by clearing the mind of all distractions, one can be fully creative, and will do more qual quality ity work. Most of all, Martin believes that "you have to have faith that you are brilliant."

Chandler, 73, lives by those words. . Last year, exactly 50 years after graduating cum laude from Hofstra University in Hempstead, N.Y., Chandler was accepted into the Hastings College master of arts in teaching program. She also partici participates pates in community theater, does volunteer work, jogs regularly and competed in the Omaha Women's Triathlon. In February, she was named "Woman of the Year" by the Falls City chapter of the Nebraska Fed eration of Business and Professional Women. "I'm determined to keep on go ing," she said. Chandler grew up on Long Is land, N.Y., and took a job in New York City after graduating from college. There she met and married a man from California. In 1949, the couple moved to Los Angeles where Chandler lived for almost 40 years. "California was a wonderful place to live and work in those days,' she said. "There was a nice park where I could walk. There were good schools and our neighborhood had a beautiful old library." For 26 years, until she retired in 1988, Chandler worked in the actu actuarial arial department at Trans-American Occidental Life Insurance Co. In the mid-1980s, with retire retirement ment in her immediate future, she began looking at lifestyle alterna alternatives tives and plan ning for her senior years, j At about the same time a young man from Nebraska came to work in Chandler's department at Occi Occidental. dental. His stories of his hometown of Falls City reminded her of her childhood home on Long Island. "It's difficult for people today to realize that when I was a kid, Long Island was primarily a rural community," Chandler said. "And I wanted to go back to that kind of life. "That guy kept trying to con convince vince me that I should move to Nebraska. After a while it started to sound good 10 me." For three suc successive cessive summers, Chandler and her daughter spent their summer vaca vacations tions in Falls City. Finally, with her family's support and encourage encouragement, ment, she bought a little house and moved there in 1988. She actively participates in church, public sp making and the Falls City Tree Board on which she served as chairwoman for three years. On a visit to the Hastings area, she discovered Hastings College. After taking a course in fantasy literature and loving it, she decided to enroll in the graduate program and prepare to write and lecture on the empowerment of women - par particularly ticularly older women. r 3 -a L b a -- & Summer Jobs.

The tournament takes place to today day and tomorrow at Pacific Luthteran University in Tacoma. PLU is fa- vored to win it all, but there will be an in intense tense battle for second place. Willamette, along with Whitman, "W e figure to be in a fight for second." Russ Beaton, Head Tennis Coach Whitworth and Lewis & Clark will all partake in this battle royale. "We figure to be in a fight for second," said Head Coach Russ Beaton. "PLU has to be the favorite." After first place, the teams could finish anywhere. There is not a clear challenger to PLU and there is no team that has established themselves as a probable pick for the runner-up V Major League Baseball New ballpark for Colorado as baseball strike concludes by John Mossman Associated Press Typical of Colorado's ca capricious pricious April weather, Coors Field will have its first regular regular-season season game tonight condi conditions tions permitting. The forecast called for scat scattered tered rain and snow showers and temperatures in the 30s for the 5:30 p.m. game against the New York Mets. Rockies manager Don Baylor, although anxious for the season to begin, might not mind a delay. His pitching staff was bat battered tered in the final two exhibition games here against the Mil Milwaukee waukee Brewers for a total of 24 hits and 20 runs . The Rockies also committed seven errors. Asked if the abbreviated spring training was long enough, Baylor said, "The way we're playing now, it's not enough. We should have two more weeks, but we don't have that luxury. We have to get our act together." Tonight is actually the third opening of $215 million Coors Field,, but the first involving a game that counts.

The central point of the Bearcats attack will be senior Eric Norland. Norland is the defending confer conference ence champion and has lost but one league match at home in his entire collegiate career at Willamette. He defaulted in that match in the third set due to leg cramps that caused him to collapse on the court. "Eric will be the favorite to win the title," said sophomore Mark Dedrick. Willamette played a couple warm-up matches for conference earlier in the week. They faced Portland State Uni University versity on Wednes Wednesday day and Linfield Col College lege on Tuesday. They took re revenge venge on PSU by beating them 9-0 after having lost to them 3-6 earlier in the year. "I thought the team played really well," Dedrick said.

Dante Bichette, Andres Galarraga and Walker pose a formidable 3-4-5 threat in the Rockies lineup. Bichette hit .304 last season and achieved career highs in homers (27) and RBIs (95).

Because of these circumstances, there was a lot of mixing around with the lineup. 'It was not as close as the score indicated because we were missing our top two players," Dedrick said. Willamette beat Linfield earlier in the year 8-0. In addition to matches in the middle of the week, the men also had two matches last weekend, but did not fair as well. They lost to PLU on Saturday and Whitworth College on Friday. PLU handeled tire Bearcats rather easily, beating them 0-9. Norland's only loss was during this match.

V Baseball Bearcats on fire by Jennifer Miller Editor After a slow start this season, The Bearcats are on fire. Last weekend they pulled three wins on the road against Whitman in Walla Walla, Washington. Willamette's first game was 5-1, with senior Geoff Huetten pitching (4-3,3-2).- . - Huetten, who was Northwest Conference Pitcher of the Week for the second consecutive week, threw " a three hitter. That one run was the only one Huetten has given up in the last three games he has pitched. Sophomore Abe Cohen (5-3, 2 2-2) 2) pitched for Willamette to their second win at 11-6. A grand slam home run in the fifth brought Whitman within one run of tying the game, but senior Mick Glaze's three run home gave the Bearcats back their strong lead. It was Glaze's first home run of the season. Willamette had 13 hits in the game. Willamette's second game of the double-header Saturday also resulted in a win. This time the game was closer, with Kosderka (4-3, 3-2) pi tch tch-ing ing a 9-6 victory. Scoring started with Glaze's first inning two run home run and ended with third baseman junior Jay Lindeman's solo shot in the fifth. It was Lindeman's first home run of the year. Willamette also scored five runs in the second inning. Willamette is currently in second place in the NAIA Northwest Con Conference. ference.

Even if they win all three, which is against the odds, but not impossible after taking into ac account count the way they have been playing the last two weeks, it may not be enough. Several other teams will also need to lose, and win games accordingly to make the confer conference ence play-off a reality. Junior second baseman Joe Belcher saidlast week that "We're in a situation that if we win all six of them (games against Whitman and Pacific Lutheran) we believe we will go to regionals. We're going to win one game at a time." 14 The Collegian April 28, 1994 V Women's tennis Women hope to perform, win while hosting by Doug Lewis Staff Writer After having the last week off, the women's lenr.is team is primed to go into the conference tournaments and turn some heads. The Bearcats finished out the regular season in fifth place in league, but have set a goal of moving up during the tournament. "The goal for our team is third place," Head Coach Molly Sigado said. Willamette is hosting the tourney this year, which is a definite edge when it comes to playing on the sur surface face they have played on all year. "We are the home team and we will be in our own environment," Sigado said. Another positive of hosting is that it is much closer for the student body, and thus more people that fol follow low the team can attend.

The women's squad continued their impressive season, as seven team members and both relay teams won their events. The Bearcat women controlled the distance races once again, as they swept the top three spots in the 3000 and 5000 meters. Junior Carrie Mo Morales rales won the 3000 in a time of 1 0:42. 1 . She was followed by sopho sophomores mores Sarah Eggleston at 10:57.9 and Malia Greening at 11:17.7. Junior Lizz Ribbeck took the 5000 in a time of 21:09.2, followed by sophomores Christy Gardner in 23:02. 1 and Marianne Cole in a time of 23:02.1. As they have done all season, both women's relay teams were im impressive pressive in their victories.

The 4x400 relay had similar re results, sults, as their 4:01 .45 first place time was the third best time in Willamette history. The Bearcats took the top two honors in both sprints, as freshman Ocean Kuykendall won the 100 in 1 2.66. which put her third in the school history books, and the 200 in 26.10, which was good enough for fifth on the all-time list.

The top two players at each posi position tion will be seeded opposite each other in the bracket, and after that a random drawing takes place in order to figure out who plays who. The first and third doubles teams from Willamette are the only Bearcats that are seeded. The numberone team of junior Kim Yokoyama and fresh freshman man Megan Frey are seeded second, and freshmen Allison Meier and Katie Snider will be the top seed at the third doubles spot. The only non-positive for the Bearcats is that Frey is not going to be able to compete in the singles divi division, sion, because of an injury. She aggra aggravated vated a nagging back injury earlier in the week and is going to save her energy for the doubles competition.

Junior Saran Patillo finished third in the event with a 37-3 effort. Patillo was also second in the discus with a throw of 128-3.

Willamette's Athlete of the Week Erik Norland No. 1 singles tennis, senior Klamath Falls, Oregon Senior Erik Norland is rounding out his Willamette career this weekend at the conference tournament, and what a career it has been. Norland has been the number one player for the Bearcats the last four years and will be sorely missed when he is gone. "Erik has truly been a role model for me as a player," sophomore Mark Dedrick commented. Norland is the defending conference champion and is the favorite once again this year. He was also a two time district champion his freshman and sophomore years before the NAIA did away with two separate districts and went with one larger conference. Norland was runner up at the conference tournament both of those years. Perhaps his greatest feat is that he never lost at home in all four years with the exception of one match, which was forfeited due to an injury. He had to default in the third set of that match after leg cramps. caused him to collapse on the court. Nolrand, who is 26, took time off after high school in order to compete as a professional tennis player. He was also married last summer to Kate Kelley ('94). new nameless uniforms and just-as-anonymous roster. The fans? Gone. The costliest strike in U.S. sports history has extracted a devastating price on both teams, costing the Expos many of their premierplayers and the Pirates the loyalty of many fans.
