According to an article in the October 1 995 issue of Z Magazine by Politics Professor Robert Dash, the issue dates back to 1 99 1 . In that year, the Northwest Treeplanters and Farmworkers United, a union which represents the largely Hispanic farmworker population in the region, supported a three-day strike by cucumberpick cucumberpick-ers ers at Kraemer farms. The strike was effective in gain gaining ing a substantial wage increase, but its leaders were denied rehire in 1992. The union, known by the Span Spanish ish acronym PCUN, called a na nationwide tionwide boycott against Kraemer Farms products. These include prod products ucts fromNORPAC and Steinfeld's Pickles, which are used by Bon Appetit. The issue was first raised on campus by the Willamette Progres Progressive sive Union. The Willamette Progressive Union (WPU), led by Chairman James Hadley, approached Bon Appetit and requested that they stop using Steinfeld's Pickles. Bon Appetit said that they were unable to take a political position on their own, but could do so if ASWU were to request that they do so. Because of this, Hadley and Erica Brown, WPU Treasurer, wrote a bill which was presented to ASWU that requested that "Bon Appetit discontinue its use of Steinfeld's Pickles and not use NORPAC or Steinfeld Products food products in the future until the boycott has been lifted by PCUN." Hadley hopes that passing the resolution will help PCUN in its struggle for fair wages. "By doing this we are lending our support (to PCUN) and making the statement that we want Kraemer to recognize PCUN as the voice of the migrant farmers in collective bargaining," he said. According to Hadley, farmworkers have been frustrated in their attempts to form unions which can help improve wages and working conditions. "I see this as an issue of the fundamental right to form an organization for the eco economic nomic betterment of a group," Hadley said. ASWU president D'mitri Palmateer was one of the sponsors of the resolution. According to Palmateer, Willamette is one of the Please see PICKLE on page 16 , 3 A Goudy employee holds th garnish that caused a nationwide boycott. Cigarette sales up in smoke by Joe Findling Writer Laureate Willamette's new bookstore exten extension, sion, the as-yet unnamed convenience store, is currently on the ground floor in both physical and functional aspects. Rarely more than one customer at attends tends at a time, and throughout much of the day the store remains empty, except for the clerk doing homework. "I did a revenue over expenses pro projection, jection, because we know how much we're spending on student help, and we're losing money, "said Don Beckman, Bookstore Manager. One issue that has arisen recently, in written and verbal feedback to the store and a question posed to Beckman in his November ASWU Senate ad address, dress, is the sale of cigarettes. "I told (the Senate) that I did not anticipate ever selling cigarettes and the reasons for that would be largely political," Beckman said. "So many people are down on ciga cigarette rette smoking now, I don't think the University would want to associate it itself self with promoting the sale of ciga cigarettes," rettes," he speculated. The issue has not been one of perti pertinence, nence, since relatively few people have requested the sale of cigarettes. However, the lack of a feedback box limits this, as well as lack of desire for potential clients to go in. "I've never used it (the convenience store)," sophomore Angelic Turner said. "The only thing I go to the store to buy Is cigarettes and they don't sell them." Turner surmised that she probably would frequent the store if they would sell cigarettes. Other students are against the sale of tobacco in the convenience store. "I think the convenience store should pro promote mote a healthy lifestyle," senior Dave Williams. "Cigarettes aren't part of a I Senior Jennifer Leland, smokes a cigarette in front of the convenience store, which recently decided not to sell tobacco products. healthy lifestyle and don't need to be sold. "Idon'tthink they would (sell ciga cigarettes) rettes) because I don't think there is going to be a high enough market for them," he said. Beckman felt that the idea of sell selling ing tobacco is a "dead issue" at this point, however many students feel the store should be more open to new ideas so it will be more utilized. Another idea is the use of students' declining cash balances (DCBs) in the store. "I'm very receptive to doing that," Beckman said, indicating that the only limitation to that currently is "a matter of hardware and software compatibility." Another suggestion raised in Sen Senate ate was to keep the store open longer, although Beckman said this was un unlikely likely since the store is much more frequented in the daytime. Policy compared to other schools by Charlotte Jones Editor Continued student complaints that the alcohol policy is too rigid has prompted a comparative look at procedures concerning alcohol at other area schools in an attempt to define Willamette's position in the spectrum of policies.

Pope praises feminist activity VATICAN CITY (AP) - Pope John Paul II praised the achievements of feminism Wednesday, saying it has championed the dignity of women and contrib contributed uted to a more balanced view of womanhood. The pontiff, who has reached out to women in statements several times this year, said feminism has reacted against all that has "impeded the value and full development of the feminine personality" in politics and society. John Paul, however, criticized "feminist currents" that undervalued the figure of the Virgin Mary in considering her a "narrow domestic" symbol, rather than a spiritual figure. St. Mary serves as a "valid response to the desire of women's emancipation" because she is the only person who embodies "divine love," the pope said. What prompted the need for feminism, John Paul said, was a "lack of appreciation for the value of woman, often forced into a secondary, or outright marginal, role." His remarks reflected the sentiments of his July letter to women worldwide, in which he apologized for the Church's shortcomings regarding women through the ages. They also followed a statement Nov. 11 by the head of the Church's doctrinal office, Cardinal Jo Joseph seph Ratzinger, that the ban on women priests is irrevocable.

Forums address assault questions by Gwen Davis Staff Writer In anticipation of the visit of Bernice Sandler, a nationally re respected spected expert on sexual harass harassment ment and assault, this week, StART has organized forums on sexual as assault sault and sexual harassment. The forums opened dialogue about the new University policies and gave administrators ideas to improve the effectiveness of sys system. tem. Some that attended the forums expressed their concern that a frivo frivolous lous claim clause would discourage victims from coming forward. Since there is no frivolous claim clause in the assault policy, those fears were dispelled. Some people were also con concerned cerned with the issue of confidenti confidentiality. ality. Since sexual assault and harass harassment ment advisors are employees of the University, they are required to re report port anything they feel is serious to Vice President for Student Affairs Stuart Tennant. Some fear that this fact might weaken the trust between the advi advisors sors and the victims, and that some may decide not to tell an advisor what happened because they are afraid of being exposed. Deborah Loers, Director of the Counseling Center, said that stu students dents who weren ' t sure whether they wanted to come forward and wanted total anonymity can always talk to someone at the Counseling Center or to Charlie Wallace, University Chaplain, since they offer total con confidentiality. fidentiality. Everyone agreed that more edu education cation is the key to making the new policy work better.

One of these involves a counter at the Bistro which due to an over oversight sight is too high to meet Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) stan standards. dards. The counter remains as a height violation due to controversy about the source of funding for the neces necessary sary changes to bring it up to ADA standards. Bistro Manager Kelly Rudd ex explained plained why the counter ended up at the current height. "We put it into the original plans, in the brainstorm brainstorming ing phase," he said. "We sent our plans to the architects' office, but by the final stage of the plans, it had been dropped. We decided to add the counter, but since the architect forgot it in the first place, we didn't have the chance to check with ADA standards." According, to Rudd, the prob problem lem was brought to the Bistro's attention by Mike Meier, a handi handicapped capped student who could not reach the condiments on the counter. Rudd also explained that lack of money to build a lower counter is the reason that the work has been held up. "At one time we had a verbal estimate of $1000 to move the counter. The Bistro doesn't have the money because of having to pick up all sorts of other loose ends from the renovations. We would definitely like to see it happen, but the money has to come from some somewhere where else. What is not a lot of money to other departments is a lot of money to the Bistro." Brian Hardin, the Vice Presi President dent for Financial Affairs, said that the money needed to move the counter would not come from his department. "We were not respon responsible sible for this error," he said, "and we feel no liability for it. However, it should only cost about $200 to replace and meet the ADA stan standards. dards. We will probably end up paying for it since it's not too ex expensive." pensive." No one agrees as to where the necessary funding should be found. Most of the departments related to the issue agree though that the counter must be moved as soon as possible, "the question is when," said Rudd. "The bottom line is that it must get done, and soon," said Robin Smithro, coordinator of Dis Disabilities abilities Services. "My department is definitely not liable for this oversight." Health Center picks up speed by Heather Stampfli Staff Writer Two student groups have set their sights on adding a new dimen dimension sion to health care on campus: speed. Willamette's own Emergency Medical Services (EMS), run by volunteer Emergency Medical Technicians from the student body could provide that element. "A lot of colleges of our size have student run EMS," said Jason Snider, who has spearheaded the idea of EMS on campus. The new organization is sup supported ported by between ten and twenty people who attend the group's weekly meetings on Tuesdays at 9 p.m. in Lausanne. An EMS on campus could pro provide vide quick and efficient emergency medical care internally. In the event of a major disaster, EMS service on campus would provide a quick re response sponse based on knowledge of the campus. EMS is also seen as a chance for students to gain experi experience ence in the medical field. All EMTs would be trained next semester at community colleges in the area. "It' s a really neat opportunity that I think would be great for campus," said Mike Omeg, a sophomore partici participant pant in the group. The future of Willamette's EMS now hinges on the issue of liability. Snider, with help from Vice Presi dent for Stduents Affairs, Stuart Tennant, has applied for liability insurance for the group. Snider has also struggled to iden identify tify the type of leadership the group will require. "I'm trying to facili facilitate tate the leadership without being the dictator," he said. Overall he sees his role for the present as a liason between the group and the administration. The group has al already ready established a iclationship with Vicky Simpson, Clinic Manager of the Health Center. During the next several weeks, ASWU will be dealing with health issues and selecting members for its new Health Center committee. The committee will be com comprised prised of three appointees from CLA, one appointee from Law, one from Atkinson, one from MAT, a member of the faculty of the Exer Exercise cise Science department, the Health Center Manager, and the ASWU President as a ex-officio member. The goals for this committee are "to build a better cooperative, working relationship between stu students dents and the Health Center," said ASWU President D'mitri Palmateer. Palmateer al so said that the com committee mittee will try to build "devices for positive student interaction with the Health Center rather then the adversarial communication that has taken place in the past." Debators miss Fiesta Bowl for chance to debate international issues in Ireland by Cwen Davis Staff Writer Six seniors from the Debate team will ring in the new year in Ireland. Chris Storey, Paul Smith, Bonnie Pennebaker, Brian Shipley, Melissa Franke and Tera Heintz will compete in the World University Debate Championships in Ireland over winter break. Last year the team won the overall sweepstakes in the national competi competition, tion, which opened the door for the trip. A few other schools from the United States will also compete. What sets the team apart from any in the country is the number of high caliber competitors on the team. The competition will take place in the southern city of Cork. The morning after Christmas, the group will leave for Ireland until the end of the competition on January 4. "It'll be a pretty incredible experience," said Shipley. According to Shipley, repre representatives sentatives from every inhabited continent will compete in the tournament. He expressed his excitement at being able to debate interna international tional issues with people from different parts of the world. "I'm happy to go and proud to represent Willamette," said Storey. He is eager to debate issues with students from different cultures, such as divorce with an Irish team or the Palestinian peace conflict with people from Israel. Even though Smith is upset about miss missing ing the Fiesta Bowl on New Year's Day, he can't pass up the chance to go to Ireland. Shipley hopes the group can learn more about international perspective. He and Storey plan to visit England for four to five days after the competition. Storey wishes that they could stay longer, but appre ciates the chance that they have. Pennebaker said, "It will be interesting and fun to adapt to international debate style." In the international competition, four teams debate the same topic at once, unlike Ameri American can debate, in which two teams square off. Half of the teams will argue the affirma affirmative tive side, the other half against, so a team must not only counter the opposition well, but also present a better argument to a team on the same side. Pennebaker plans to ex explore plore more of Ireland after the competition, first traveling to Dublin and then the Highlands. ditorial 4 The Collegian December 1, 1995 EdiTOKials Violation not Bistro's fault "Tt was recently discovered (sec related story on ! page three) that the counter in the Bistro that is J. L home to the toaster, microwave and other ameni amenities ties violates the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The counter needs to be lowered in order to comply with federal law; however, the matter of who is to pay for these further renovations remains a mystery. Immediate responsibility lies with the Bistro, but are they to blame for the mistake of the architect and contractor? Shouldn't the architect who drew up the plans for the new Bistro have designed the counter in compliance with the ADA? Shouldn't the builders who constructed the counter have recognized the violation? It seems obvious that the responsibility for this violation lies with the "expert" parties contracted to design and construct the counter. Since they failed to inform the Bistro management of the ADA's require requirements, ments, it would not be inappropriate to ask either the architect or builder to correct the unsatisfactory ser service vice they rendered. It is inappropriate for the student-run Bistro to incur the costs of this architectural oversight. The architect andor contractor should be penalized for designing and crafting the counter below federal standards and asked to pay for or perform the neces necessary sary adjustments. Students should use voice tudents familiar with electronic media may be aware of its existence, but few are using it for its intended purpose. The local newsgroup willamette.student-voice was designed as an open forum where students could debate issues of import in both their lives and studies. Last year, students discussed their views about such subjects as the World Views curriculum and the rob of ASWU. This year the newsgroup has gone relatively unused. Admirably, ASWU Secretary Josh Norman has used of the newsgroup as a place to post Senate minutes on-line. However, if the lack of posting is any indicator of the group's readership, Norman's efforts may be in vain. Students should consider once again utilizing willamette. student-voice as a forum for active dis discussion. cussion. Although an impersonal and electronic mode of communication, this newsgroup allows students who would not normally come together in casual or classroom conversation to engage in a dialogue. Don't let this valuable resource go to waste. Ask a lab assistant or experienced computer user to show you how you can use your voice. Store still inconvenient On the counter in the Bistro lies a list of potential names for the as yet unnamed con convenience venience store. Among the more mundane and straightforward sug suggestions gestions like the "Bear Necessi Necessities" ties" and "Munchies," there is one which truly captures the essence of the store. And the winner is . . . The Inconvenience Store. The Inconvenience Store doesn't have any of the products w hich any of its real world counter counterparts parts have. Anyone with even a passing familiarity with the over-the-counter culture knows that the primary items which keep these kinds of stores in the black are not entirely healthy. Junk food, ciga cigarettes, rettes, birth control and alcohol form the core cash crops of a conve convenience nience store. Willamette's Inconvenience Store has recognized the first of these items and has adorned its shelves abundantly with candy, gum, chips and soda pop. The other major market which convenience stores thrive on is the late night, last minute and past midnight crowd that hurry in for a snack on the run. More students tend to stay up past midnight studying or engaging in other activities than those who go to bed at eight o'clock. Most on on-campus campus students eat dinner between the hours of 5 p.m. and 7 p.m., and since they have just eaten to their hearts ' content in Goudy or Kaneko, there is little reason to visit the Inconvenience Store from seven to eight. However, later in the evening around the hours of ten, eleven, twelve and later, students get that little twinge of hunger rumbling From the Editorial Board Daniel Wallace Metz through their stomachs and dial the nearest Domino's pizza guy or seek out the nearest snack machine. These arc the hours the basic pro pro-crastinator crastinator needs his or her main mainline line of sugar and caffeine - well past the 8 p.m. closing time of the Incon Inconvenience venience Store and quite possibly long after the Bistro closes. While most Willamette students are not considered sex-crazed luna lunatics tics by definition, many are, at the minimum, sexually active. Besides the Health Center (open from 8 a.m. - 5 p.m.), students cannot find birth control anywhere on campus. The common complaint about the condoms in the Health Center is that there is no variety. What about colored or flavored condoms? But condoms aren't the point. There are other birth control meth methods ods which the Inconvenience Store could offer its student and adminis administrative trative clientele. Spermicides and jellies could be found useful to stu students dents who would prefer a choice to the standard run of the mill condoms of the Health Center, and a choice which is easily accessible (more convenient) and which doesn't re require quire an exam. What about beer? "Oh, let's not go there," a disgruntled Friends fan said. Potentially the largest "selling item for the Inconvenience Store would be some of the Northwest's 11 n e s t i n M i c ro b re w s . Th e o n I y 1 og i -cal reasons for not selling beer or cigarettes or condoms in the Incon Inconvenience venience Store arc issues of legal legality, ity, morality and health. Consider Considering ing the liability-conscious adminis administration tration and logistical problems, it is understandable why alcohol is not at the top of the "new item" list. It's not as though it is illegal for staff and students to buy cigarettes or condoms. Cigarettes aren't ex exactly actly healthy for the human body, but it also doesn't mean that the deep fryer in the Cat Cavern is on the endangered species list. And anyone who wants to argue that condoms are unhealthy can read the latest literature on sex education. Simply put, the Inconvenience Store should sell cigarettes and condoms because there is no valid reason not to. Instead of looking toward mo morality rality for business guidance, the Inconvenience Store should be re receptive ceptive to the needs and desires of its clientele. Basic economics dic dictates tates a business based on supply and demand. If a store denies the existence of a demand, it also de denies nies itself the opportunity to sur survive vive as a business. Perhaps the mar marketers keters for the Inconvenience Store could seek financial and marketing advice from some of our Atkinson Management students.

Opinion December 1, 1995 Tlie Collegian Question your academics and education There comes a time in your academic career when you have to question the reasons for your education and your role as a student. This basic (existential?) questioning of the value of education first occurred for me while I was abroad in Ger Germany. many. I didn't know it then, but my distance from Willamette's physical and academic atmosphere freed me from a certain way of looking at education which I think is preva prevalent lent at Willamette. This view of education seems to appear in the student towards the end of the sophomore .year, if mine is a typical case. I became more involved in both academic activities (writing papers, participating in class discussions) and extra-curricular activities (student govern government, ment, contemporary issues on campus). On the edge of burnout, I returned home the summer after my sophomore year very interested in life from the point of view of what I'll call intellectualism. It's the corner cornerstone stone of the Academy. You are taught this way of thinking, I suppose, at any university. Intellectualism has a lot to do with learning to fulfill certain expectations placed on you by academic structures. This situation is fated in that we are taught from the beginning of our public (that Wayfaring Familiar Robert O. Brown is, out of the home) education to fulfill others' expectations of our performance (i.e., we jump through hoops). Fulfilling expectations is not in itself bad. We all have numerous daily expectations (though we might be happier with fewer of them) and they often define our relationship with others. We expect professors to teach, children to mind, police to protect, friends to support, and cashiers to provide immediate service. When they don't, things start to sour in our interactions with these folks. It is the expec expectations tations that lead to our frustrations and fric friction tion between us and them. Public education (education outside the personal and familial realm) seems to operate on this theory of expectation. For our perfor performance mance in a course, we are given grades by individuals (the professors) considered by the Academy to be sufficiently educated to serve asjudges of that performance (they al already ready jumped through the hoops). Whether or not we truly per perform form (as actors or high-priced automo automobiles) biles) may not be the question - only a nifty side effect in some cases. The question is, what do we produce? Professors can only judge our perfor performance mance from the prod product uct of our forced la bor, or indentured ser servitude, vitude, if you will. We are computer printers consuming every unwritten assignment they put in our Form Feed tray, spitting them out down to the last work cited, modifying the We are computer printers consuming every unwritten assignment they put in our Form Feed tray, spitting them out down to the last work cited, modifying the margins when necessary, but why? margins when necessary, but why? But why should we produce anything for them? Isn't it our education we're working for? I realize we have much to learn from professors (and every everyone one else in the world), but I've also realized recently that learning is finally our respon responsibility, sibility, our work, our need, and our desire. Ifnot,thenitisnotour education, but theirs: the professors' and university's and per perhaps haps our parents' and the government's (or whoever's paying your tuition). If not, it amounts to a product, just like (and contained in, symbolized by) your half-assed Politics (or Soc or English or Philosophy) Paper. And I don't want to write anymore half-assed pa papers pers for somebody else. E-mail not real human communication Can you hear coyote laughing at all of us as we log in and tune out? Here I am in the computer lab again communicat ing with invisible people who I cannot see or hear. They do exist, but I do not feel their presence, yet I count on them every day for satisfaction. Of course, I am talking about that great wonderful technological innovation called e-mail. E-mail is so wonderful because it oper operates ates 24 hours a day, unlike most sane humans. Remember all those great times when you were drunk and someone said, "Let's go do e-mail," and you went and wrote stuff that you would not remember until the recipient of your e-mail told you what you wrote. You were embarrassed, but only tem porarily since what you said was not face to face. It seems like in our present day and age, we are so busy mmmmmm,mmmmmm,m that we cannot even take the time to talk to people in person. We rely on an unreliable source of communication which we like to call e-mail. E-mail is great, how else can you talk to that girlguy without blushing or get getting ting all fidgity and sweaty sweaty-palmed. palmed. What a great way to talk to someone without actually hav having ing to face them! We are all guilty of abusing our e-mail privileges. When was the last time you avoided some someone one just because you were too embarassed to talk to them in person? Instead you simply went to the altar and turned on your computer and joined others on gemini - where you can feel com completely pletely free to tell all to w hoever you are writing to. How did we get to this point in our history where we are too busy or simply just afraid to talk to each other in person? It seems like at the present time, we are all too worried about what we are to become. This concern about our future has be come such a profound symbol of our society, that we have forgot forgotten ten one of the most basic and wonderful experiences of our One Man Riot Nate LeQuieu society - communicating on a personal level. We are so worried about the future that we forget what is im important portant at the present We have crammed our schedules so full of stuff to make sure that we all reach that goal we call the Ameri American can Dream. This is evident by the use of an impersonal tool, the computer, to achieve a very per personal sonal action, ""mmmmmmm' communica tion with other members of our species. By be becoming coming tools of our tools, we have re re-' ' duced our ourselves selves to the level of hollow, mechanistic humanoids who only resond to technologically introduced electric currents. We march around blindly everyday without really realizing that all of the mechanistic order we have created has actually produced chaos. This chaos is caused by that fact that our warped sense of communication has made us have absolutely no idea what is going on in reality. What is real has been reduced to whether or not we get e-mail, whether our T.V. works or whether the refridgerator is keeping our doom juice cold. So what is real? Personal, face to face com communication munication is real. Blushing and getting sweaty palms in front of a person of the opposite sex ;o whom you are attracted is very real, too. Get away from your e-mail and experiece these profound emotions in the flesh - you might like it better. Can you hear coy coyote ote laughing at all of us as we once again log in and tune out? Pamphlet misinforms students Tis the season to be jolly and recognize Student Affairs' folly! Perhaps as an early holiday gift, Student Affairs dis distributed tributed the handy dandy reference "Alcohol and Drugs, Problems and Solutions" to students' mailboxes eariler this week. According to Stuart Tennant, Vice President for Student Affairs, the pamphlet was designed to "communicate the policy adopted by Willamette Uni University versity to comply with the require requirements ments of the Drug-Free Schools Act." The pamphlet fulfills this goal and goes a step further: it begins to communicate the scope of Student Affairs' own ignorance about drugs, alcohol and how it as a department sometimes encourages their abuse. The Bistro was humming with the pamphlet' s curious assertion that "one glass of wine daily added to the diet can result in a weight gain of 10 pounds a year." The pamphlet fails to mention that, considering 3500 calories perpound of body fat, 365 days in the year and 150 calo calories ries per glass of wine, your body would need to store 35,000 of those 54,750 calories in order to gain 10 pounds in a year. It seems eating at Goudy may be a greater health risk than drinking a glass of wine. Of course, the upside of con consuming suming a glass of wine per day missed publication in the Student Affairs pamphlet. Professor John Folts of the University of Wiscon Wisconsin sin Medical School's Coronary Thrombosis Research and Preven Prevention tion Laboratory believes he has evi evidence dence that flavenoids, organic com compounds pounds found in red wine, are help helpful ful in strengthening arteries. The failure to include alterna alternative tive perspectives is present in the pamphlet's treatment of marijuana as well. The section focuses on the effects of cannabis when smoked, ignoring the healthier method of preparing marijuana for oral con consumption. sumption. By sauteeing cannabis in butter, boiling it in milk or prepar preparing ing it as a hot tea, users can avoid many of the harmful side effects caused by the inhalation of smoke while more efficiently ingesting the active ingredients. Why are these perspectives not mentioned in the pamphlet? With information "taken primarily from the Dartmouth College ACCESS series and a brochure from Portland Community College," how could Drapier's Proposal C. Reynold Jonson Student Affairs' have gone wrong? However, this pales in compari comparison son to Student Affairs' blatant dis disregard regard for proper proofreading in the section entitled "Mushrooms." The text of the pamplet takes on a scientific and authoritative tone, claiming that "there are a num- ber of plant ma materials terials which have LSD-like effects(...)these include the p s i 1 o c y b e mexicana and several other spe species cies which have the active ingre ingredient dient psilocy- bin." If Student Affairs is going to invoke the binomial nomenclature of an organism, then for goodness sake, they should check their facts! According to The Audubon Society Field Guide to North American Mushrooms, the genus Psilocybe contains the species baerocystis, caerulipes, coprophila, cubensis, cyanescens, merdaria, montana, pelliculosa, semilanceala, silvatica, squamosa, strictipes, stuntzii, and thrausta. "Psilocybe mexicana" does not exist, unless you trust Student Af Affairs fairs more than the Audubon Soci Society. ety. There is a mushroom Sarcosoma mexicana, but it isn't hallucinogenic. For future reference, according to local amateur mycologists, Psilocybe cubensis is the hallucino hallucinogenic genic mushroom of choice in the Northwest. It appears that Student Affairs needs to do its homework before publishing such information. Such misinformation under undermines mines the integrity of the pamphlet's entire content. If Student Affairs was documentary mistaken about a portion of the information, why not some of the rest? In presenting Psilocybe mexicana" does not exist, unless you trust Student Affairs more than the Audubon Society. poor or false information, Student Affairs runs the risk that a student will ignore the truth about some substances that the pamphlet pro provides. vides. Of course, misinformation is better than no information. The pam pamphlet phlet doesn't include sections on extremely dangerous drugs like heroin or on widely abused sub substances stances like caffeine and tobacco. Prescription drug abuse receives coverage only obliquely through a reference to ritalin under "Other 'Speed' Drugs," while there is ab absolutely solutely no mention of non-prescription drug abuse. What about prozac, valium, sleeping pills, ap ap-petite petite suppressants and pain killers? Anothercuri Anothercuri-ous ous aspect of this pamphlet is the section entitled "Warning Sig Signals." nals." Several of " these warning signs are actually encouraged by Student Affairs own policies. What student, abusing or not, isn't going to be "sneaking drinks or drugs or using alone" and "hiding bottles drugs" to alleviate their "paranoia" and "fights and arguments" with Residence Life employees? Even a student of legal drinking age has to exhibit "social isolation and with withdrawal" drawal" in order to consume an alcoholic beverage. Is "feeling an annoyed noyed or angry when one's chemi chemical cal use is discussed" that difficult to understand when an RA or RD re requests quests that you dump out an expen expensive sive six pack of local microbrew? Matt Dillon's character in Drug Drugstore store Cowboy astutely tells a coun counselor selor that "you can't talk a junkie out of using." This pamphlet was a nice gesture, but what students who abuse drugs and alcohol really need is an understanding authority to catch them when they fall. Threats of expulsion or imprisonment can cannot not deter someone who is out of control from continuing thcirabuse. Such threats, however, can prevent a student in trouble from coming forward and seeking help for his or her problems. News 6 The Collegian December 1, 1995 Residents protest by Lydia Alexander Editor Not all concerts are held in Smith. The Delta Tau Delta pledge band gives all on-campus residents a free concert which they didn't even have to leave the comfort of their own beds to hear. However, not every everyone one enjoyed this year' s performance. Several campus residents have reg registered istered their complaints with the Office of Residence Life, hoping to end the early morning tradition. The pledge band made their rounds last Wednesday morning at approximately 6:30 a.m. According to Morgan Allen, the president of Delta Tau Delta, every on-campus residence was visited by the pledges. Sophomore member Billy Dalto commented that the Kappa Sigma fraternity was specifically targeted with an extended performance. Dalto New TIUA program recruits more students by Melissa Prichard Staff Writer While students from the TIUA Program are not a rare sight around campus, a new group of students from Japan might turn a few heads or maybe even create some noise. TIUA will be instituting a new program that will bring 40 female and 4 male Music and English students to Salem this Spring. Usually these students, from Senzoku-Gakuen Junior College in Uozu, come to Salem in the summer. However, this year the stu students dents will come in the spring to try to get a better feel for what an American university campus is like. . These students will all be sec second ond year students and will prima primarily rily participate in programs con connected nected with the Music and En English glish Departments. These stu students dents will arrive on January 29, one week before the other TIUA group arrives, and will stay through March 16. This special group of TIUA students will participate in pro programs grams to acquaint them with the Salem and Willamette commu communities. nities. However, this group will not undergo the same extensive ori orientation entation program that the other group usually does. "The pro program gram for the students from Uozu is more of a social program. Also, because this program is new we are not sure how much this group of students will want to be integrated into life at Wil Willamette," lamette," said Rhonda Mayhew, Assistant Director of Student Reflections of Light New Unique Salem Gift Shop 2765 Commercial St. SE Across the street from Carrows Restaurant, behind Key Bank went on to say that Kappa Sigma president Kent Campbell contacted the pledge band immediately, com complaining plaining about their actions. "He thought we were hazing the pledges," said Dalto, who noted that this was not the case since there was a wall dividing the pledge band from the Kappa Sigma pledges. Allen said that the actions of the band are completely harmless. "Most people think it's funny. It's not meant to offend anyone, though it is meant to wake people up . . . and it's not like we're hazing anyone." However, some residents didn't find it funny. Lisa Lambert, a resi resident dent of Lausanne, was awakened by the sound of the pledges, who were standing on the front steps of Lausanne, banging trash can lids together loudly and shouting things like "It's six-thirty in the morning, most people in the world are up by Activities at TIUA. Special International Peer Counselors (IPCs) were hired to help run activities and events for the Uozu group. "This program is basically a two month tour of the West Coast. We are not yet sure exactly how the traditional year long TIUA program will be adapted to an eight week pro program, gram, but we are excited to have them come in the spring this year," said Mayhew. One of the problems that will need to be dealt with before the Uozu group gets here is where these students will live. Due to the space crunch on campus, Mayhew is unsure of where and if the Uozu group can be housed on campus. "We have looked into the option of having home stays or renting rooms from other institu institutions tions (Western Baptist or Oregon School for the Blind). Right now it is touch and go until the details get worked out," said Mayhew. However, Cheryl Todd, As Assistant sistant Director of Residence Life, is hopeful that housing space will be made available. "Getting people into rooms is like putting together a puzzle. Right now we are waiting to see where there might be rooms available so we can juggle where we can place people," said Todd. An additional difficulty in placing the Uozu group is the fact that they arrive before people move out due to pledging Greek organizations. Even with this dif difficulty, ficulty, Todd thinks the housing difficulty is not an insurmount insurmountable able problem. Mayhew also thinks the housing issue will be resolved and is looking forward to welcoming the Uozu group.

Wake up!" Lambert called Campus Safety. Lambert said that the the on-duty officer told her not to worry about it since it was probably just the frater fraternities. nities. "I felt brushed off at the time," said Lambert. Campus Safety has no record of the call or of any action taken in the situation. According to Campus Safety Officer Steve Tuthill, this is "not uncommon" since there is a shift change at 6:30 a.m. which could have created confusion in the han handling dling of the situation. "We don't have a system to give a permit to go beyond those (quiet) hours. There's no excuse made be because cause it's a Greek house's initiation week," said Ross Stout, Director of Campus Safety and Purchasing. Kathy Weatherly, a junior resid residing ing on the first floor of Doney Hall, was also awakened by the pledge Beethoven's Sixth explored by Melissa Prichard Staff Writer Besides the usual sounds of pages flipping and books being placed on the shelves, the music of Beethoven filled the Hatfield Library this Thurs Thursday. day. The twice monthly Faculty Colloquium took a leave of absence from the Writing Center to occupy the Hatfield Room instead. To the delight of audience members, Dr. John Peel of the Music Department focused his lecture on Beethoven's Symphony No. 6. Peel said he first became inter interested ested in this particular symphony by Beethoven after hearing it on a vid videotape eotape he borrowed from the library years ago. Peel then decided to re research search the piece's genesis by look looking ing at Beethoven's sketchbook of this piece. "A sketchbook gives a glimpse into the mind of a com composer," poser," said Peel. After viewing this particular sketchbook of Beethoven, Peel then was able to have a clearer picture of where some of Beethoven's ideas came from. The book contained obvious pre pre-liminary liminary sketches of ideas that Beethoven had for themes in a musi musical cal piece. This non-concreteness of Beethoven's notations also allowed for interpretation of meanings and areas that Beethoven would later expand or cut down on. To add to his comments on Beethoven's sketchbook, Peel played a recording of the first move movement ment of Symphony No. 6. It was a lively piece with many crescendos and decrescendos. This symphony was subtitled "Pastoral" and was supposed to be reminiscent of coun country try life. However, it was mentioned that Beethoven attempted to let the lis listener tener place themself in whichever countryside they desired.

Jason Snider, a Lausanne resi resident, dent, expressed his frustration that past attempts to silence the early morning performance did not keep the pledges from waking him up this year. Snider had approached his Resident Director last year with com complaints plaints about the noise and was told that it wouldn't happen again. This year, Snider, along with other residents, spoke to the Office of Residence Life to complain about the pledge band. 'T ve contacted Jim Bauer (Dean of Residence Life) and he said that the situation had been dealt with," said Snider.

Many of Beethoven's first music notations were not part of the final symphony. Peel said, rather humorously, that this gave him some hope at least. Peel described in detail the dif different ferent themes and the developmen developmental tal process of this piece. Peel men mentioned tioned that the flat and natural "b" drove the developmental process.

"It's in his hands," said Folawn. Brungardt was unable to com--ment on the situation, since all con conduct duct reports are kept confidential. "If people called Residence Life and filed a complaint, I think they need to relax and study less. This happens one day a semester, and this is the first year anything has been said about it," said Allen. In response to the possibility of action being taken against the Delt house, Allen said that "all I know is they (Residence Li fe) want to talk to me.

Peel thinks this analyzing of music at the micro and the macro level leads to better understanding of the different aspects of a piece of music. Peel concluded with the idea that the examining a composer' s sketch sketchbook book is an important part of the process to search for meaning in music. Peel said that "the creation of a piece of music is an organic pro process cess that can be revealed through study." Campus Events 7 December 1, 1995 The Collegian Opinions clash over human beginnings Cmnwcnrkmi Instead of listening to a speaker as usual this Wednesday, those at attending tending Convocation were treated to a video dealing with the evolu evolution tion versus creation controversy. The video featured Randall Balmer, a professor at Columbia University . Balmer interviewed various people on both sides of the issue. Balmer first talked about the introduction of Darwin's theory of evolution. Since Darwin introduced his theory, the scientific commu community nity has embraced evolution and it has become the accepted theory of terrestrial origin. Recently, conser conservative vative Christians have gained more powerpolitically and are fighting to disprove the theory and prevent schools from teaching it as an abso absolute lute truth. Balmer stopped first at the Cre Creationist ationist Science Museum. The mu SeimeRem President Jerry Hudson attended last night's Senate meeting as the guest speaker. He spoke for a while and then opened the floor up to questions. ... . He first spoke of his job, and then of what he is currently working on. He said he spends most of his time responding to concerns and working on the budget for the 1996 1996-97 97 school year. This includes balancing $50 million. He is trying to move Willamette's sports teams from their current NAIA league into the NCAA Division III league. Hudson feels this is the appropriate place for Willamette. This would allow Willamette athletes to compete with other schools who don't offer athletic scholarships. It would offer more visibility to the Willamette athletic department, and it would offer a small financial " - CAMPUS SAFETY THEFT November 14, 6:12 p.m. (Matthews Hall)- A student's locked bicycle was stolen from the bike rack.

One of the more obscure facts about the Mill Stream is that it is home to several types of fish. Unbeknownst to many Wil Willamette lamette stu dents, the Mill Stream's actual title is the Mill Race. It is a man-made cre creation ation that diverts off of the Mill Creek, a larger river that flows to the Wil Willamette lamette River. Originally, the Mill Race was made to run through the Mission Mill, which is located across the street from the eastside of the Willamette campus. The Mission Mill and the Mill Race were both constructed in 1890. Although the Mill Race was owned separately by both the Mis Mission sion Mill and Boise Ciiscade, Cas Cascade cade deeded the rights to it to Salem in 1982. So, it is a public utility. Interestingly, the flow of the Mill Race can be shut off at any time, if the campus or Mission Mill needs to stop the water flow. This shutoff is located at the weir (or dam) located around 1980 State Street, where the Mill Race is sepa separated rated from the Mill Creek. Prior to the summer of 1983, the Mill Race flowed in a concrete ca canal nal that ran adjacent to the side of Smith Auditorium that faces the Health Cen ter. Accord According ing to Brian Hardin, Vice President of Financial Af Affairs, fairs, when construction ofwhatisnow known as the Mill Stream began, Wil Willamette lamette had to obtain a per permit mit from the Army Corps of Engi Engineers. neers. Despite the Mill Race's small size, it was still considered a "navi "navigable gable river." As for fish, large Chinook salmon can occasionally be spotted in the Mill Race. According to fish biologist Wayne Hunt, though, this year's salmon run has been "a record low." The Fish and Wildlife Depart Department ment has been stocking the Mill Creek with salmon regularly, but due to funding cuts, the stocking will be discontinued. If a salmon does make its way into the Mill Race, it has little chance of making its way to the Willamette River, since it will be stopped by a series of grates around the Atkinson Gradu Graduate ate School of Management. By then, the salmon will probably be too weak to make a return trip to Mill Creek. Other fish that dwell in the Mill Race are young steelhead, which are a species of rainbow trout. They will hang around in the river for a while before making their way to the ocean, via the Willamette and Columbia Rivers. After three years, they will make a return trip back to the Mill Creek. Bullhead, a bottom feeding fish, are also in the Mill Race. Some occurrences have affected the fish population. About six years ago, a tanker truck spilled its cargo of gasoline directly into the Mill Creek. This accident killed many of the fish that were living in there and in the Mill Race. Director of Student Activities Scott Greenwood vividly remem remembers bers the day of the spill. "I was looking out of the window at the Mill Race and fish were just jump- u . it N., Bulldozers create the rerouted Mill Stream in the summer of 1983 (above), which would prove fatal to the fish. There are few fish which emerge unscathed from these grates by I Atkinson (below). ing out of the water. Students were putting fish in buckets to try to save them. An RD at Baxter put some of the fish in a bathtub, but they even eventually tually died." By now, the influence of the gasoline spill should be gone from the Mill Creek and Mill Race. Like any body of water, there are always places that fish like to be in the most. As for the Mill Race, the best place to see some fish are in the shaded, quiet areas. The Botani Botanical cal Garden seems to be a favorite for the rare misplaced salmon. Trout seem to enjoy the area by the bridge located at the Goudy Commons the most while Bullhead can be spotted all over the Mill Race. torn by Tania Zyryanoff Staff Writer As darkness falls, intriguing incidents begin to brew around the UC. Along with the usual night's worth of dunking, rocks mysteri mysteriously ously get painted, chairs serve as decorations in the Mill Stream and other mischievous mishaps occur. Little do the doers of these midnight deeds know that someone may be watching their actions actions-someone someone with an insider's view. Clad in a blue suit and eternal broad grin, UC custodial worker Jim Moyer is looking . . . and probably laughing. Moyer has witnessed many such escapades while working his four to midnight shift. "Late at night you see bizarre things. There is the occasional person getting thrown in. But last year, I saw a couple of streakers in the middle of November," Moyer explained. Another time, he saw a certain fraternity plant a "holy spruce" at the top of the main entry of UC. Apparently the inebriated bunch had taken a tree branch, nicknamed it the "holy spruce," and began pounding it against the concrete. "These were the same frat brothers who broke ashtrays and threw lawn chairs off the balcony," Moyer added while shaking his head. Granted, Moyer does not always laugh at this devious acts. "I just kind of turn the other way, unless they are damaging something," he explained. Then it's time to call campus safety, just as he did the night of the "tree planting." Pranks are not the only thing Moyer has observed. One day in 1989, he came to work and was unable to enter the UC. He remem remembered, bered, "They had just put in the Mark O. Hatfield fountain and there was a bomb threat. Some anonymous person called in and said they had planted a bomb in the fountain. Everyone had to evacuate the building for two or three hours." Although an object was found in the fountain, it turned out to be a hoax. Through all of these strange experiences, Moyer still seems to highly enjoy his job. "It's fun working with the crew. It's a very comfortable working environment," Moyer said. His jovial mood is so evident that many students have taken note. "I think he's one of the most cheerful, happy guys I have ever met," AS WU President D'mitri Palmatcer explained. "I always seem to run by him when I'm stressed out and he always has a smile on his face." Before coming to Willamette, Moyer worked in retail at Meier & Frank. This exposure to the public has helped him in his present job. After 14 years in retail, he made the unexpected move to Willamette. Head custodian and longtime friend Jeff Bolt called Moyer and told him they had an opening. "It seemed so different, and I had heard of the high congeniality of the students and staff at Willamette. It turned out to be much better than retail," Moyer reflected. In his seven years of working here, he has made many friends and -?en many changes. The UC renovations are the most recent ex- e .. i 1 1 ! ri --. ! - . I 8 ; s - v , in Si i U ' ' I ' ' " '. J : - - . " r' " ' ' ' , ! sr - ft ."" - i i - Jim Moyer, UC Custodian ample. Although he feels it will take a while to get used to the remodeling, he is quite satisfied with the changes. "It is a lot lighter now. I used to come to work in a cave," he said with a hearty laugh. Moyer was not sad to see the infamous circular staircase go. "You wouldn't be upset if you've polished the brass as many times as I have," Moyer explained with another grin. Although the stairs were more aesthetically pleasing, he feels the new staircase is much more functional. Moyer seems highly satisfied with his job. His secret formula for success is to "drink lots of coffee and . . . try not to get too stressed out about things." The Collegian Psiclfeta tap TIUA students leave, taking back more than they brought V- k. 1 December 1, 1995 by Kirsten Olson Staff Writer When Etsuko Ikeda moved to Willamette, she brought a few personal belongings and .-Sf many stereotypes about American students. After spending a year here, she has been arrested by Campus Safety, made great friends and learned that most of these stereotypes are not true. Ikeda will remember her American friends the most when she looks back on her year. However, she also will remember that meet meeting ing her American friends was more difficult than she anticipated. "My stereotype was that all Americans were friendly. That didn't work," she said. Ikeda elaborated that it was hard to become friends with some American students because they were involved with their other friends. Her fondest memories, though, will be of the close friends she made, and not of the stereotypes. Ikeda was very surprised with many as aspects pects of American life. She was surprised at the amount of time men and women spend together. "Girls and boys are always together," she said. "They're shyless." She also was surprised at the lack of diversity on the Wil Willamette lamette campus. She noted few minorities, but liked the atmosphere of the campus. Religion was another aspect of American life that many TIUA students did not antici anticipate. pate. Many students had never had Christian friends, and church attendance was not as high in some parts of Japan as it is here. A general consensus among the TIUA students was that American parties were bet better ter than Japan parties. A shared memory of many students was of the social scene. "Drink "Drinking ing in Japan is only drinking, but in America there is drinking and dancing, and that makes parties so much more fun," said Ikeda. She remembered a night when she tried to at attended tended a registered party, but found that the only way she could get in was through an open window with the help of an American friend already inside. As she climbed in the window, she was stopped by a Campus Safety officer who wrote her up. "I didn't get into the party that time," she said, "but I did get in (Campus) Safety Watch in the Collegian." TIUA students also took advantage of lower prices and better bargains in America. CD's and movies were popular purchases, and Salem theaters increased their business because the TIUA students liked to attend movies for the "cheap" price of $6. Attending a movie in Japan can cost $15. The learning experience was also very different. Classes were totally different than many of the classes in Japan. Japanese classes are lecture focused, with little or no home- - v..

The relation relationship ship between classes is also very different in America. There is a more divided line be between tween seniors, juniors, sophomores and fresh freshmen men in Japan, while all classes are friends and in the same courses here. Ikeda believes that the reason TTUA is so successful at Willamette is because of the interaction between American students and Japanese students. Michelle Loperena agrees. She chose her TIUA roommate last year because of the strong friendship they had built. "I don't look at having a Japanese roommate as a "TIUA experience,' but as a chance to room with a good friend. My roommate is a person and not an experi experience," ence," she said. Others think that having a TIUA student as a roommate is a good way to explore a different culture and language. Some students, however, see the integra integration tion of TIUA students into the Willamette residence halls as a negative thing. "Some "Sometimes times the TIUA students do not speak En English glish very well, and this creates a language barrier. Freshmen should have the option of having a TIUA student as a roommate," said Haven Brownsberger. Others agree, and sug suggest gest that TIUA students should only be placed with American students if they are fluent so they could socialize. While some may see the integration as negative, Ikeda only sees her experience as positive. "My time here has been so pre precious," cious," she said. "It was my first time to touch another culture and another language. Al Although though I studied for eight years, this was my first time to converse in English. I have made American friends and I can speak witn mem." omimmi ... s f n r by Debra Petri Contributor With registration for spring semester classes coming up, students with diverse in interests terests and no definite plan for their future are beginning to stress about potential majors. One option for those who are musically in inclined clined and interested in service to others is the Music Therapy program. Music Therapy itself is a branch of the behavioral sciences with wide applications in medical, institutional and educational set settings. tings. Music is used as a tool in order to address physical, psychological, cognitive and social needs of individuals. This is done by creating, singing, moving to and listening to music. Music Therapy is based on the fact that participating in different activities with music helps people with diverse disabilities to relieve stress, communicate, strengthen abilities and cope with treatment, as well as providing emotional support and an outlet for the expression of feelings. The Music Therapy program is an inter interdisciplinary disciplinary one, combining courses in Psy- chology, Music and biological, social and behavioral sciences as well as core classes. After graduation, students participate in a six month long internship and then become li licensed censed by the National Association for Music Therapy by passing a national examination. The student is then prepared for work in a number of settings after graduation, includ including ing health care agencies, psychiatric hospi hospitals, tals, rehabilitation centers, day care facilities, nursing homes, schools or private practice. Before graduation, Music Therapy stu students dents are required to complete at least four practicums; hands-on experiences in diverse fields. Willamette has access to more than eighty facilities for a practicum, including hospitals, schools, corrections, geriatric fa facilities, cilities, support groups and shelters for impoverished and homeless people. The pa patients tients involved work on personal goals and objectives using music as a tool.

Students take advantage of extra credits to bid an early farewell to Willamette by Laura Foster Staff Writer Although their number is small, their membership has doubled over the past few years.

After 33 years, 18 films and four different actors, James Bond is still the 'Big Daddy' of secret agents, and GoldenEye doesn't disappoint. Going to a James Bond movie every few years is as assured as the NFC winning the Superbowl. Pierce Brosnan, the newest in the short list of Bonds, replaces the stolid Timo Timothy thy Dalton, who sleepwalked his way through the previous two Bond films. After seeing every Bond film, I can easily break down the basic plot development for those not pre previously viously familiar with Bond movies.

Often it is coupled with a asinine parody of an overplayed Top 40 hit, and other times it is used to add a new dimension to an al already ready intriguing and forward think thinking ing style of music. The Rugburns and their brand of music paired with overtly irreverent lyrics does not seem to fall into the Weird Al Yankovic trap, but similarly does notv prove to be a groundbreaking musical excursion. Instead, the Rugburns most re recent cent release, "Taking the World by Donkey," utilizes almost predomi predominately nately folk rock music with off of the wall lyrics. The Rugburns ap appear pear to fancy themselves a punk punk-ska ska band, but their narrative lyrical style necessitates a much slower, of GoldenEye is one of the coolest opening sequences in memory, but TinaTurnerdidn't deli verthe goods on the musical end. Next, the audience is allowed time to watch the plot unfold and meet a beautiful woman (Izabella Scourupco) who just happens to be stuck in the middle of some sinister plot. Then, watch Bond do his tradi traditional tional interactions as he flirts with Moneypenny, gets assigned a mis mission sion from M and gets a bunch of cool secret gadgets from Q, all while making his usual half-wit remarks. The villain (Sean Bean) is in introduced troduced with his plans to destroy the world, along with an evil side sidekick kick (Framke Janssen) with some special quirk; this one's got a spe special cial misconception about sexual in interaction teraction between people. Finally, Bond finds the secret hideout after some prancing around the countryside, stops the villain and of course gets the girl.The plot is one of the last things to worry about in a Bond film. In going to see a Bond flick one must be worried about three main ingredients: Bond, action and babes. The first ingredient, Bond, is lence. All these claims are, of course, based on "serious" scientific re research. search. This movie outlines the tragic story of an unwitting high school student named William, who is cap captivated tivated by the addictive, deadly drug marihuana. His life then takes a downward plunge, and he is even accused of murdering his good friend Mary. It turns out that it was another drug crazed killer, and Bill is (luckily) saved from "what should be our public enemy number one." What's so funny about this movie is that more likely than not, public sentiment in the late thirties was probably pretty reflective of the movie. There wasn't really any certainty regarding what the effects of the drug really were, but this film is filled with some pretty creative extrapolations. It's hilarious, how however, ever, when the characters are under the influence of the dread marihuana; they aren't just stoned, weird mix of musical idiocy and folk oriented musical character. Occasionally the musical style moves into a much more alternative rock genre at which the Rugburns seem equally adept. Although they seem capable of many musical genres, this lack of musical focus ultimately works against the Rugburns' goals and the result is a sound that is focused much too heavily on lyrics as the music falls by the wayside. Throughout much of my experience, when a group's lyrics are the selling point, the al album bum quickly becomes trite and bor boring. ing. Initially an album comparable to "Taking the World by Donkey" is one of the coolest albums in your collection, but shortly thereafter it loses its new car smell and it be becomes comes just another family wagon. The amazing wit inherent in these songs salvages the album and pre prevents vents it from being a complete and total flop. This wit is seen in a number of the sons on the album awesome. Brosnan, formerly of Remington Steele, adds humor, brashness and a little parody to the Bond character. From the moment Brosnan is introduced, he slyly cruises through the film with more charisma than Dalton or Roger Moore, and a bit funnier than Connery was through his stint in the Bond role. For the record, my favorite Bond film is From Russia with Love Love-Connery Connery is the best. With a few more Bonds under his belt, Brosnan appears poised to become a Bond mainstay for quite some time. The second ingredient, action, is a bit unbelievable, but still fully thrilling at points. The opening se sequence quence ends in an implausible cli climax, max, but is quite spectacular. There are a couple of sleek car chases- the second one involves a tank, enough said. There are a couple of escape sequences. One was unfortunately ripped off from Die Hard 2 so badly I wondered if the producers paid for the rights to it. The ending finale has a pretty good fist fight and some really big explosions. The action is average at best for a Bond film. Except for the they're fanatically stoned. They act so stoned, they might as well be smoking crack, as much as they dance around and go crazy. I guess that's what the proponents of the movie would call "drug crazed abandon." The truly frightening part of the movie is when the school principal calls upon the parent They act so stoned, they might as well be smoking crack, as much as they dance around and go crazy. organization in the community to rally against marihuana, when the parents were way too misinformed to be making any salient decisions. How often are parents compelled to act on information that is incom incomplete plete or inaccurate? This movie uses exactly the kind of scare tactics used in the eighties by the "just say no" campaign - but I digress . . . All things told, this movie is including "Tree Hugger," with lyr lyrics ics like "I would rather have a shitty meal than a shitty resume, because a totally awesome resume will feed me steak one day" and "the earth is so polluted I can never walk bare foot . . . Ouch! On Earth Day I was going to plant some trees, but I planted my ass on the couch . . ." These lyrics do an amazing job at making up for the musical faults and quite possibly turn annoying songs into pieces of musical genius. On the other side of the coin are songs with very little to offer, musi musically cally or lyrically. For instance, "I Hate Christmas" is basically mind mindless less drivel. It is not funny, it has no chance at being funny and it ulti ultimately mately just gives you a horrible headache. With lyrics along the lines of "I hate fucking Christmas . . .

And the mistletoe on the ceiling really makes me want to do introduction, I felt the sequences were pretty much rehashed from previous Bond films. The third ingredient, babes, isn't bad, but not like the Bond movies of yesteryear. Both Janssen and Scourupco decorate the screen quite nicely. Scourupco is even allowed to give some halfway intelligent lines throughout the film. I feel the monogamous over overtones tones are politically correct for the era, but I miss the whimsicalness of all the women Bond was with in the previous films. My favorite "babe" point of the film arises when Bond is driving his psychiatric reviewer around the French Rivera scaring her out of her wits, and then watching her melt when he pops open a bottle of Dom Perignon. For the legions of Bond fanatics out there I highly recommend GoldenEye as a nice return to the Bond of pre-Moonraker era.

The Bearcats opened the season by winning the four team Valley m Inn Tournament at Southern Oregon State College last weekend. Willamette knocked off Oregon Institute of Technology in the tournament opener, and then defeated Holy Names in the tournament's championship game. Willamette struggled against OIT last season, but had no problems the Owls this time. The game remained close until the second half, when the Bearcats reeled off 50 poi nts and put the game out of reach, allowing them to walk away with a 3 92-86 victory. "I thought we played very well offensively," said Head Coach Gordie James. "We shot the ball very well." James also thought that the game made the Bearcat players focus on rebounding, considering OIT's height advantage. Junior guard Mike Hayter lead the Bearcats, with a game-high 23 points in his first game as a full time starter. Senior forward Cavan Scanlan was also impressive, chipping in 17 points and a game game-high high eight rebounds. With their victory over OIT, the championship game against Holy Names, a catholic school from the Oakland area, who edged out SOSC in their first round game 88-85. The Bearcats continued to knock down a majority of their shots against Holy Names, jumping out to a nine point half-time lead. Holy Names kept the game close in the second half, but was hampered by poor shooting and the Bearcats' increased intensity on the defensive end. In the end, the Bearcats had improved their record to 2-0, with a 95-85 victory. The win over Holy Names, who featured two strong offensive players, gave the Bearcats an early test on the defensive side of the floor, where James felt his team is a little behind. "I like the things we did last weekend," said James. "At the same time, I think our players are aware of how much harder we need to work." Senior forward Julius Lowe lead the Bearcat offensive attack, throwing in 26 points and grabbing nine rebounds. Scanlan and senior forward Andy Hakala chipped in 12 and 15 points respectively. 1 Hayter, who dropped in four 3 3-pointers pointers on his way to another 23 point performance, was named the tournament' s Most Valuable Player. "He had tremendous shot selection," said James. Hayter was also very impres impressive sive in distributing the ball to his teammates, as he dished out 17 as assists sists in the two games. "He passed the ball very well," said James. "He got the ball to the open man." Hayter pulled down a total of 1 1 rebounds, while hitting 13 of 19 shots, includ including ing 8 of 12 from behind the three point arch. to Salem and opened their home schedule last night, taking on SOSC in the first game of the John Lewis Holiday Classic in Cone Fieldhousc. Although SOSC dropped their first game to Holy Names last weekend, James felt that they would be a different team when they faced the Bearcats. "They're much better than what they played last weekend," said James of SOSC. If the Bearcats are to avoid an upset, they must try and stop SOSC's frantic run-and-gun style. "It's going to be important for us to play at our tempo," said James of what his team had to do if they hope to shut down SOSC's offense. The tournament will continue tonight, with SOSC taking on North Northwest west College, who comes out of Kirkland, Washington, at 7:30 p.m. in Cone Fieldhouse. Willamette will conclude the tournament tomorrow night in a7:30 p.m. match-up with Northwest College. The game will follow a 5:30 contest, pitting Willamette's Junior Varsity team against a Willamette alumni team. The Bearcats will have to adjust to Northwest College' s style of play , which relies heavily on the 3-point shot. "They're really an outside shooting team," said James. "They start five guys that can shoot the three." Adjusting to their opponents hasn't been too difficult for the Bearcats so far, considering that every opponent has offered a different style. James liked how his team has been able to adapt to different situations, but still feels that his team has a ways to go if they wish to play at the next level. "I'm not satisfied with where we need to V : J: Senior forward Julius Lowe (44) elevates above the defense.

Playing in the John Lewis Clas Classic sic will be a good test for the Bearcats, who will travel to Albertson College next weekend to play in the Golden Rule Shootout. The tournament will feature two of the better teams in the country, in Northwest Nazarene and host Albertson. New semester brings wide range of Exercise Science classes 1 J by Melissa Prichard Staff Writer Exercise Science activity classes like this Fencing class provide many students with a chance to a good workout.The department also offers academic classes. No longer is a major in Exercise Science only for people who want to be gym teachers. In recent years, the increase in employment opportunities for people who specialize in the human body and its movements has prompted many people to choose Exercise Science as their major. Within the Exercise Science major, students can choose to emphasize Sports Medicine, Fitness Management or Exercise and Physical Development. Between 65 and 70 of all Exercise Science Majors have their emphasis in Sports Medicine. However, before one can choose an emphasis for their major, he or she must fulfill anumber of core classes. These include human anatomy, statistics, biomechanics and other related subjects. According to Peter Harmer, Professor of Exercise Science, the Exercise Science curriculum was revised five years ago to increase the academic expectations from students and the effect of this curriculum revision was "the attraction of more and better students." Harmer said, "Many people have the wrong impression of Exercise Science. It is not just P.E. It encompasses every other academic discipline, from History to tlie sciences." Besides this new curriculum and the numerous job opportunities after graduation, Harmer also attributes the increase in number of Exercise Science majors to the renovations of facilities and high quality of faculty. Aaron Pcltz, a student who has taken Exercise Science classes, thinks the strength of the program lies in the fact that the information one learns is immediately applicable to life. "In my 'How to Respond to an Emergency' class, I have learned things that I could use today and in the future." Haley Pepper, an Exercise Science Major, decided on that major because of her interest in medicine and her previous experience as an injured athlete. Pepper thinks the Exercise Science department has "interesting classes and likable professors." However, a clear distinction between the academic Exercise Science classes and the activity classes also needs to be made. The Exercise Science Department is divided into academic classes and activity classes. There is no increased cost or special equipment needed for the academic classes. However, some activity classes, like skiing, rock climbing, golf and scuba do require additional money. Activity classes range in experience level and subject matter. According to Katy Molloy, a student who has taken an activity class, "activity classes help me keep active and maintain my weight. They are also a way to experience something new without worrying about the grade. Credit for activity classes is awarded by attendance, not ability." A final point to make about the Exercise Science Department is that not everyone involved in it is a varsity athlete. "There is no stereotypical Exercise Science major. Our students are academically capable students who are interested in human movement. The field of Exercise Science is multi-faceted and this characteristic is evident in the types of students that major in it," said Harmer. "1 Sports 14 The Collegian December 1, 1995 V-ball team moves on to nationals by Matt Kosderka Staff Writer A t h I e t e of The week Brandi Row senior Volleyball is a team game, but certain individuals can have a bigger impact than others. Senior outside hitter Brandi Row has been the ultimate impact player for the Women's Volleyball team, as her amazing performance was a major factor I , , her serves all over the court or occasionally hammering a unreturnable jump serve. When people talk about the perfect volleyball player, they are pretty much describing Row' s abilities. Not only does she dominate during matches, but her tremendous work ethic helps her go that extra step in every practice. The example she has set has not gone unnoticed. "She's incredibly determined," said Vanessa Hastings, a freshman middle blocker for the Bearcats. "One thing I look up to her for is her positive attitude. She has a great attitude about all aspects of her play. I respect her a lot for it." There are so many things that one might say about Row, but probably the best way to describe her is the most valuable player. The NCIC coaches seem to agree, as they selected Row as the NCIC most valuable player for the second straight season. She was also named NCIC player of the week three separate times this season. And if that was not enough, Row was recently named to the Pacific Northwest All-Region Team. The entire Willamette team has had a great season, but Row has been the one that will not let the Bearcats lose. When the Bearcats got of to a slow start against George Fox in the NCIC qualifier championship, it was Row coming through with the key plays that turned the match around and sent the Bearcats to the regional tournament. When the Bearcats needed to upset Western Oregon in order to earn a spot at Nationals, it was Row crushing 39 kills in a marathon match that the Bearcats finally won in five games. Willamette entered the regional tournament as a heavy underdog, and things will be no different at the national tournament. If the Bearcats are successful, it will most like be due to Row's leadership -and never give in attitude. For there would be no better ending to Row's collegiate career, than bringing the national championship trophy back to Willamette. Bearcats make first appearance by Matt Kosderka Staff Writer With the Men's Basketball team being limited to only 24 games this season, Head Coach Gordie James wanted to give his team a taste of what the regular season will be like. What he came up with was the inaugural Bearcat Madness, which unveiled this year's squad and gave other students a chance to display their talents on the hardwood. "Our guys had fun with it," said James. "The comments we got were very positive on it." The event, which featured a school wide one-on-one, three-on-three and five-on-five tournament, ran throughout the day, and concluded with the Men's team taking center stage with an inter-squad scrimmage in Cone Fieldhouse. During the scrimmage, audience members were allowed to compete in shooting contests for prizes, and the tournament champions were introduced. To nosurpr se.theslamdunk in earning the Bearcats a spot in this week's National Championship Tournament in San Diego, California. Row has been spectacular ever since she joined the team four years ago, but she definitely saved her best for her final year in a Bearcat uniform. She ripped off 4.94 kills and 4.36 digs per game during the regular season. Row also was one of the toughest servers in the Northwest Conference of Independent Colleges (NCIC), placing contest, which featured some sky walkers from the men's team, was a big hit with the fans. Senior forward Julius Lowe had one spectacular dunk when he stood at the free-throw line, threw the ball behind his back, bounced it off of the back board, ran up, caught the ball and threw down a monster two-hand jam. Still, the best dunk of the night came on the contest's final attempt, when sophomore guard Kevin VandenBrink drove in from the right side of the court and brought the crowd to its feet with a 360 throw down that seemed to shake the entire building. After the men's team had finished two impressive 15 minute scrimmages, a name was drawn for a chance at $200 in free books from the Willamette Bookstore. All the chosen individual had to do was knock down a three-point shot. After one student choked under the pressure, sophomore Danny Osborne, a standout running back for the Bearcat football team, stepped out of the crowd and drained a 2 1 -footer to win the free books. The Women's Volleyball team has been trying on glass slippers lately, and seems to have found the perfect fit. The Cinderella Bearcats, who entered the Pacific Northwest Regional tournament seeded sixth out of six teams, shocked everyone but themselves, as they knocked off two nationally ranked teams and earned a spot in this week's NAIA Division II National Championship tournament at Point Loma Nazarene University in San Diego, California. Willamette headed to the regional, held at Carroll College in Helena, Montana, fresh off their fourth straight Northwest Conference of Independent Colleges (NCIC) title. No one really gave them a chance at finishing in the top three in the tournament, thereby earning a berth in the national tournament, but the Bearcats had been underrated all season and had more to prove than any other team in the tournament. An imposing Lewis & Clark State team, who had been ranked nationally in the top ten all season, was the Bearcat's first hurdle to overcome. Early on, it looked like the Bearcats deserved to be the sixth seed, as they consistently shanked Lewis & Clark St.'s serves and fell behind 8-0 in the first game. However, the Bearcats finally worked off the nerves and found their rhythm despite coming up on the short end in the first game. Willamette, then running on all cylinders, finally began to play like a team that had won the NCIC four straight years, as they took the next three games from Lewis & Clark St. and won the match 11-15, 15-9, 15 15-1, 1, 15-10. Head Coach Marlene Piper felt that the key to the match was the Bearcats strategic placement of their kill attempts. Lewis & Clark St. is a high octane team, and became visibly frustrated with the slow pace of the Bearcats attack. Senior outside hitter Brandi Row led the Bearcats with 25 kills in the match. Right behind Row, was junior outside hitter Alicia Wright, who finished the match with 22 kills, whilejunior middle blocker Aspen Phelps chipped in eight kills of her own. By knocking off Lewis & Clark St., the Bearcats gained the confidence that they would need if they were going to upset their next opponent, who happened to be long time nemesis Western Oregon. "It gave us the momentum from then on," said Piper of the Bearcats' victory over Lewis & Clark St. Western Oregon had easily handled the Bearcats earlier in the year and entered the tournament as the No. 2 seed, behind top-seeded Puget Sound. The one advantage that the Bearcats had was that they already had a game under their belt, while WOSC had a first round bye. Willamette took advantage of an obviously nervous WOSC team in the first game, as the Wolves had trouble diggi ng the Bearcats' serves. However, the Wolves settled down and took the next two games from the Bearcats. Then the pivotal moment of the match occurred while the two teams were changing ends of the court.

The Bearcats have moved on past the conference and regional playoffs to the national tournament. nationals. His speech was meant to fire up his team, but what it really did was light a fire in the Bearcats. Willamette, more determined than ever, destroyed WOSC in the fourth game, setting up a fifth and decisive rally scoring game for a spot in the national tournament. The Bearcats, still fired up from their fourth game, victory looked to be in control of the fifth game, as they jumped out to a 10-0 lead. Western Oregon, unlike Lewis & Clark St., fought back, eventually taking the lead at 15-14. The Wolves then set their all-region player, Heather Bailey, for what looked like tfie winning point, but the Bearcats closed down the lane and stuffed Bailey's kill attempt. Each team eventually gained more points, until the score was tied at 1 7-1 7. Junior setter Stacey Kruger then came in to serve for the Bearcats. Two WOSC errors later, the Bearcats were headed to San Diego with a 15-10, 13-15, 1 1-15, 15-2, 19-17 victory. "It was so exciting for the ladies," said Piper. "Those (Lewis & Clark St. and WOSC) were the two most significant victories for the ladies since I've been here."

With a reserved spot in the national tournament already secured, the only thing left for the Bearcats to do was to try and earn the No. 1 seed from the region. To do so, they would have to over come national powerhouse Puget Sound in the regional championship match. Exhausted from their two previous matches, the Bearcats were no match for a dominant Puget Sound team. Puget Sound won the match over the Bearcats 15-7, 15-13, 15-7, and took the top seed, while Willamette earned the No. 2 seed. "They played superior," said Piper of Puget Sound's impressive performance. "They served us, they blocked us, they hit through us, they hit around us." Willamette will now move on to the national tournament, which started Wednesday and will run through tomorrow. The Cinderella kids have made their way to the ball.

A by Leif McElliott Contributor Q The Swim Teams first home meet of the season was held the weekend of the 17th. Willamette faced Pacific Lutheran and Lewis and Clark on consecutive days. Both Willamette's Men's and Women's teams beat Lewis & Clark and lost to Pacific Lutheran. The Women had a close meet with Pacific Lutheran (94- 111) while they swept the Lewis & Clark team (158-27), winning every event. The Men struggled against PLU(5 1-149) and beat Lewis and Clark solidly (135-25). The Bearcat swimmers finished a grueling three weeks of swim meets in a row as well as competition for the first semester with these events. The Women's team, which has seen tough competition all season, swam well against Pacific Lutheran's women. First place swims on the Women's team came from Katie Jones in the 200 free, Gerianne Mikasa in the 50 free, and Rachel Cohen in the 200 IM and the 100 free. The women's 200 free relay team of Bonnie Bauer, Gerianne Mikasa, Rachel Cohen and Jen Hodges also won. Second place finish were posted by Jean Orth in the 1000 free, Cammy Farstvedt in the 200 IM, Erin Venable in the 1 00 back and Jones in the 500 free. Despite strong swims in every event, the women could not beat PLU's strong women's squad. Lewis & Clark, however, posed little trouble for WU's women swimmers. The Women's team won every event. Winners included Danika Williams in the 1000 free and the lOObreaststroke, Farstvedt Women open basketball season by Jennifer Miller Staff Writer The Women's Basketball team is ready this season to take on whomever may come their direction. After losing their season opener to Western Oregon in an away game, 78-65, the team was ready to get serious. The game resulted in a loss because the team was "unprepared for their press and did not execute on the floor," senior team co-captain Margaret Weber said. Willamette, ranked No. 10 nationally in pre-season polls for the conference, redeemed itself by taking Western Baptist last week in a 68-51 victory at home. Western Baptist, although a stronger team overall than last year, did not prove to be much of a challenge for the Bearcats. Over Thanksgiving weekend the team competed in the Portland State University Invitational in Portland. Willamette lost its first game to Western Washington, 76-74. Traci Shepard was the team's leading scorer with 25 points. Western Washington has a highly competitive program, and is also in the NCAA Div. II league, while the Bearcats are still NAIA Div. II. Head Coach Paula Petrie was not upset by the loss, despite the fact that the team blew a lead they had gained in the first half and committed by 32 turnovers. "When you look at our loss to , : , : ' '"I , ... . Both the Men's and Women's Swim teams fell to PLU in their meet. The Men lost 149-51, and the Women 11-94. in the 200 free and the 100 back, Hodges in the 100 free and the 50 free, Orth in the 200 IM, Jones in the 100 butterfly and Heather Stampfli in the 500 free. The women won both relays with the team of Venable, Hodges, Jones and Bauer in the 200 medley relay and the team of Orth, Williams, Jones and Farsvedt in the 200 free relay. Strong swims and depth contributed to the overall performance of the Women's team in both meets this weekend. The Men's team found PLU's depth and talent a deadly combination. Although the team had many great swims, the men only had one first place finish with Cary Cox's win in the 100 back. Second Western Washington, you can see how we gave up a lead and how we had turnovers and they hurt us," she said. "We learned from the game. The game should have been ours, but it's better to take a loss Nov. 25 than Feb. 25." Willamette once again showed that they have the potential to perform in the league with a 93-82 win over St. Martin's College in the second round of the invitational. One of St. Martin's players, Olivia Carrillo, scored 53 points. Carrillo has played for the Mexican National team in the past. "We shut out the rest of the team, with the exception of Carillo," said Weber. Amy Ulrey had an outstanding game with 29 points and 12 rebounds. Junior Jenny Joseph had twelve rebounds and 18 points for the Bearcats, while Anne McShane chipped in another 14 points. Shepard also added 18 points. The team shot over 50 percent from the floor in field goal, 3-point and free throw shots in both halves, showing the consistency they had lacked in the Western Oregon game was not going to be a problem during the season. Varsity's win over St. Martin's proved to team members that the team was working together. "We're starting to come together, and you could see that from the statistics from the St. Martin's game and what you saw on the floor," said Weber, who did not play in the game due to a hurt ankle. place finishes were swum by Al Biss in the 50 free and Kjell Moline in the 100 breast. Despite the bleak first day of competition, Willamette's men went on to their first victory of the season against Lewis & Clark on Saturday. The Men's team was only one event short of winning every event at the meet. Individual winners were Leo Kowalski in the 200 free, Todd Davenport in the 50 free, Moline in the 200 IM and the 100 butterfly, Cox in the 100 back and Garret Asay in the 500 free. The Men's teams won both relay's with Cox, Moline, Jesse Campos, and Kowalski in the 200 medley relay and Biss, Davenport, Joo Chan and Shane Thielman in the 200 free relay. The team has shown by its improvement and playing that the loss of graduate Carolyn Leary and Saran Patillo will not keep the team from being as strong as they were in the conference last season. Petrie has a rationale behind having the team play their first half dozen games against higher caliber teams. "It doesn't do you any good to be winning games by 20 points when in the conference you generally get close games," Petrie said. This weekend the team is playing in the Pacific University Invitational. Petrie wanted to play for the experience of playing two teams from the Cascade Conference, she said. "Northwest Nazarene played at Nationals and lost to Western Oregon State last year, and were ranked No. 3." The team plays Northwest Nazarene at 6 p.m. today at Pacific University in Forest Grove. The Bearcats then take on Eastern Oregon State College at 6 p.m. Saturday, also in Forest Grove. There are no more varsity games scheduled until the team takes on Simon Fraser College at home on Dec. 16. On Dec. 11, the next national ranking poll will be out for Women's Basketball, and as of January the poll will be updated weekly. For now the Bearcats will have to be content with their No. 10 pre preseason season ranking and prove to the pollsters that they deserve to be on top of the polls. ii - - - - - NCIC conference standings WL T 2 0 0 Willamette PLU Whitworth Lewis & Clark Whitman Linfield 0 0 1 1 1 2 0 0 0 0 standings current November 26 NCIC conference standings WL T George Fox 2 0 0 Linfield 2 1 0 Willamette 2 2 0 Lewis & Clark 1 1 0 Whitman 1 1 0 Whitworth 1 3 0 PLU 0 0 0 Pacific 0 3 0 standings current November 26 ifr NCIC conference standings WL T 5 0 0 Linfield Whitworth PLU Whitman Willamette Lewis & Clark 1 0 2 2 0 0 0 0 4 5 standings current November 26 NCIC conference standings WL T 5 0 0 PLU Whitworth Linfield Willamette Whitman Lewis & Clark 1 0 2 1 2 0 3 0 5 0 standings current November 26 NCIC conference standings W L GWGL Willamette 12 2 40 9 George Fox 10 4 33 18 Linfield 10 4 32 17 Pacific 9 5 27 22 PLU 9 5 33 24 Lewis & Clark 2 12 10 40 Whitworth 2 12 13 35 final standings - - " ' c vv This Week Saturday, November 25 Willamette def.

Not all Senators wercconvinced that the resolution was necessary. Jon West, who represents SAE, op opposed posed the resolution because he felt that it was an issue that ASWU should not deal with. According to West, "My main concern was that this is a political issue that ASWU shouldn't get involved with. What if someone were to come before ASWU with a resolution stating that we should endorse a certain candidate for the Senate? Where do you draw the line?" Palmateer doesn't agree with the argument that the boycott was not ASWU business. "I was con concerned cerned by some of the Senators who said that this wasn't an ASWU is issue. sue.

Mark Hatfield, R-Ore., intends to announce Friday whether he will run for re-election to a sixth term. Several observers on Capitol Hill said Wednesday they expect he will opt for retirement. "The conventional wisdom in Washington D.C. is that Sen. Hatfield is going to retire and believe me, there are a lot of Democrats and Republicans in this town and in Oregon who are un unhappy happy about that prospect," said Josh Kardon, chief of staff to Rep. Ron Wyden, D-Ore. Julie McGregor, Hatfield's press secretary, announced Wednesday she will resign effec effective tive Dec. 15 to move to Santa Fe, Policy: Comparing attitudes Continued from page 1 Clark's policy states that the Portland college's main concern is that "a criminal conviction may bar students from their chosen career path." The policy only states that they will comply with all state and fed federal eral laws in requiring that all stu students dents under 21 not possess or con consume sume alcohol. Pacific Lutheran University's policy states "The University is con concerned cerned about students and their to total tal physical, mental, and emotional well-being." In response, PLU prohibits all possession of alcohol beverages on University premises. Kevin Marshall, a freshman at PLU, de described scribed the different party scene. "People go get drunk (off-campus) and then go home," he said. In addition to prohibiting pos possession session and consumption of alcohol by minors, Willamette's policy regulates how parties with alcohol will be publicized, requires imme immediate diate clean-up after an event in involving volving alcohol and specifies that alcohol will not be considered the main focus of any activity. According to Bauer, these pro provisions, visions, called the 'General Poli Policies' cies' "come from what we want to create as a standard for living at Willamette University." Bauer believes these policies go beyond upholding state ana tederal laws and contribute to Residence Life's goals to create a better community and a better teach teaching ing environment. PLU and Lewis and Clark differ from Willamette in that they do not have a Greek sys system, tem, which could account for the exclusion of more spe specific cific policies that are geared toward parties and social func functions. tions. Lewis and Clark's alco alcohol hol policy mentions parties only to say that they are sub subject ject to the college's policy of not providing alcohol to any anyone one under 21.

"It's not about the policy, or the university, or the Greek System, but about individual behavior," he said. Bauer cites the CORE survey, which tracks trends in student be behavior havior by surveying 55,000 stu students dents nationwide, to compare drink drinking ing habits across campuses of dif different ferent sizes.

"Practically no one believes Hatfield will run for re-election," said another aide to a Western lawmaker. A formeraide to Hatfield said, "I think there's a real good chance he probably will retire." Hatfield's political career stretches over five decades, beginning with his election to the Oregon House of Representatives in 1950. He served two terms as governor before his election to the Senate in 1966. about alcohol pared to 2.7 drinks per week for women and 7.5 for men at larger universities. "I don't think there are any two policies that are identical," Green Greenwood wood said, explaining that, in his opinion, no matter how an alcohol policy is articulated the environ environment ment of the campus will affect how it is carried out. The combi combi-nation nation of the written policy and its enforce enforcement ment creates a holistic policy specific to every institution. Bauer knows that uncertainty among students is very possible when dealing with the alcohol policy, but he thinks that Residence Life continually deals with this problem. "We try to be consistant and that is an ongoing policy," he said. Bauer's experiences with alco alcohol hol policies from other schools he has worked for have led to his own comparisons and have helped him to better articulate what he wants for Willamette's policy. "There are a lot of campuses that say one thing and do another," He said. "I hope we're not that way because that's a very bad teaching model for people who are going to be leading our society," Ml I'M
