Vice President Gar Willoughby is looking forward to the many planned activities this year. A new projector was purchased this summer to replace the one that broke last year. With this, movies such as Batman, Apollo 13, Forget Paris, and for Halloween, Psycho will be shown. However, ASWU does not want to make security any stricter, and have decided that if food continues to come into Smith Auditorium, drastic measures will be taken, in including cluding the possibility of no more ASWU sponsored movies.

The week leading up to Home Homecoming coming will have theme days such as Toga Day, and Cowboy Hippie Day. The committee is working to get a fireworks display set up for Friday night, and an all campus barbecue is planned for Saturday. The committee is trying to get a ferris wheel to be placed in Brown Field for Willamette students. Finally, President D'mitri Palmateer gave his report.

After reports came elections. Most important was the election of the Speaker of the Senate. There were three nominees, Cirith Anderson, Matt Hindman, and David Williams. After a re-vote due to a tie, Williams was elected. The election of Senators to the Finance Board found Loren Myers and Chris Lohse, John West and Blayne Higa to the Elections Board.

The Alpha Chi Omega, Delta Gamma and Pi Beta Phi sororities will be holding events for three days next week, up from only two last fall. Panhellenic Council, the inter-sorority legislative council," adheres to strict rules not allowing freshman to rush until the spring semester. "We want to let people get on campus and make friends before they go through Rush," said junior Sara Bischoff, the Alpha Chi Omega Rush Chair. Bischoff herself went through Rush last fall, after transfering to Willamette as a sophomore. Amy Schlegel, a junior and Pi Beta Phi's Rush Chair explains why students choose to go through Fall Rush, "The people that go through Fall Rush have been around for a year so they know the houses. They may know some people in a house." Because participants may already be fa familiar miliar with the houses Fall Rush runs two and a half days instead of four. Junior Casey Redfield, Delta Gamma's Rush Chair, expresses the excitement of all three houses, "There's lots of stuff left to do but we'reall really excited." The first event will be held the evening of Sept. 28, and is a new addition to the rush process. The"unified Greek day," as Bischoff refered to it, will consist of an informal social function in Goudy commons for rushees. All three sororities will be in attendance, to give prospective members a general intro introduction duction to the Greek system and its members. The next evening's events will move to the sorority houses, as rush participants move from one house to the next and receive guided tours. The third day's events will take place in the afternoon, and is the most formal of the three. Sorority members will "dress to the pin" in formal attire, as the rushees attend a progressive lunch, with one course attended at each house. Fall Rush will be much more relaxed overall than Spring Rush, the first week of school of the spring semester when both the fraternities and sororities hold a formal rush period. Much of the elaborate decorations and song and dance routines of the formal spring period will be absent. "A lot of people don't like '.he formality of Spring Rush, and Fall Rushjs very infor informal," mal," Bischoff said. "Spring Rush includes a lot more women and lasts longer, but Fall Rush is more like an open house period." Bischoff stressed that Rush allows the sororities to dispel some of the myths about Greek life. "Just because you go through Fall Rush, you don't have to sign a house. You should go through to get an idea of what Greek life is like, and meet new people. You may decide it's not for you, but it should be because you've seen what its like." atioe & World Die Collegian September 22, 1995 Times and Post publish manifesto by Mitchell Landsberg The Associated Press Journalists will argue for years about the agonizing decision by The New York Times and The Wash Washington ington Post to publish the 35,000 35,000-wor.d wor.d manifesto of the terrorist known as the Unabomber. In the din of debate Tuesday, there was one patch of quiet agree agreement. ment. Editors and scholars around the country shared a sense of relief that they weren 1 1 the ones on the hot seat. "I'm glad, as most editors in the country are, that it wasn't my deci decision sion to make," said Sandra Mims Rowe, editor of The Oregonian in Portland. She added: "I think they made the right decision." "I instinctively oppose it," said Doug Clifton, executive editor of The Miami Herald. Still, he added, "it's a heck of a lot easier to say that in the abstract. . .They have had to deal with a real situation, while the rest of us are dealing with a theo theoretical retical one." In the theoretical debate, the lines were drawn between those who said the two newspapers were act acting ing in the public interest, and those who said the Times and Post had sacrificed their journalistic indepen independence dence and set a dangerous prece precedent dent by caving in to a killer and extortionist. The Unabomber, who is blamed for killing three people and injuring 23 others in a 17-year campaign of bombings, sent the manuscript to the Times and Post in June, two months after issuing a demand: If at least one of the newspapers would print his manifesto, he would stop killing. He also demanded that the news newspapers papers print three annual follow-up publications. He gave the newspa- Tips sought in Unabomber case by Richard Cole The Associated Press Now that The Washington Post has published the Unabomber's manifesto, investigators expressed hope that someone will read it, rec recognize ognize the elusive killer and call. For months the FBI has circu circulated lated the Unabomber' s 35,000-word diatribe against technology to col college lege professors in California, high school teachers in Chicago and any anyone one who might recognize the serial bomber's ideas. Jim Freeman, head of the FBI in San Francisco and the 1 35-member Unabomber task force, urged the public - especially in the Chicago, Salt Lake City and Northern Cali California fornia areas - to read the manuscript for clues. There has to be someone that relates to this philosophy," Freeman said on Tuesday. "And that has investigative value for us." The FBI, which is offering a $ 1 million reward, has received 20,000 calls on its national hot line, and the value of the tips has improved since excerpts of the manuscript were first published, Freeman said. The Unabomber, believed to be a 40ish white male with meticulous habits, has set off 16 increasingly sophisticated bombs since 1978, killing three people and injuring 23.

The publishers of the newspa newspapers, pers, Donald Graham of the Post and Arthur Sulzberger Jr. of the Times, said they had agreed to print the manifesto at the urging of Attorney General Janet Reno and FBI Director Louis Freeh.

William Ketter, editor of The Patriot Ledger of Quincy, Mass., and president of the American So Society ciety of Newspaper Editors, said he probably would have done the same. "I worry about the implica implications tions of the decision, of course, but I can't fault the newspapers for cooperating with the Justice Department. . . I don't think it's unlike the history of the press in this country cooperating with the government during wartime, be because cause the national interest and the lives and American soldiers could be at stake. I mean, we have a history of that." John Seigenthaler, a former editor and publisher who now heads a news industry think tank in Nashville, The Freedom Forum First Amendment Center, called the decision "a sad precedent" that was unavoidable under the circum circumstances. stances. "I hate it as a precedent, but as much as I hate it, I would have made the same decision," he said. Several editors expressed ad admiration miration for the apparently rigor rigorous ous decision-making process that led to the publication. "I respect the struggle they've been through, and I respect the decision that they've made," said Louis Ureneck, editor of the Portland Press Herald in Maine. "I think it's a black day," said George Kennedy, managing editor of The Columbia Missourian, the daily newspaper published at the University of Missouri School of Journalism. Kennedy is a professor there. He added: "We've come 180 degrees from what was one of the proudest days of the Times and the Post, when both of them defied the power of the federal government to publish the Pentagon Papers. What we see today is that both of them have caved in to the power of a murderer." Perhaps the sharpest criticism came from Wesley Pruden, editor in chief of The Washington Times, the Post's rival. Pruden expressed outrage, both that the newspapers had printed the manifesto and that they had given in to the demands of Reno and Freeh. Assisting in a criminal investiga investigation, tion, he said, was not a newspaper's business. Our job is to report events, not control events," Pruden said. "It's a very sticky wicket. . . I can understand the pressure that the New York Times and the Post felt they were under, but this strikes me as not a very wise decision." Carter talks fail in Cuba by Joan Kirchner The Associated Press Talks between former president Jimmy Carter and Cuban exile ac activists tivists on Wednesday produced no movement toward improving U.S. U.S.Cuban Cuban relations, a top Carter aide said. There has been a great deal of controversy about these meetings, expectations which perhaps were raised too high," said Robert Pas Pastor, tor, director of the Latin American program at the Carter Center. "We don't intend or believe that there is any eminent breakthrough in U.S. U.S.Cuban Cuban relations." Carter met with the 1 1 Cuban Cuban-American American leaders for more than an hour, but did not join them in talk talking ing to reporters afterward. Later Wednesday, Carter told a group of about 2,000 students at Emory University that he took on Cuba because it has become too sensitive an issue for politicians in Washington, D.C. "When we talk to the leaders in Congress who always make an is issue sue of animosity toward Cuba, they tell us privately, 'we hope you will do something about that, but don't tell anybody that I told you that,'" Carter said. Carter told the audience that the Carter Center had not yet come up with any answers. "But we are determined not to give up," Carter said. "We are not subject to intimidation at the Carter Center." Carter plans to meet Thurs Thursday day at his presidential library with one of the more high-profile exile leaders, Cuban American National Foundation head Jorge Mas Canosa. Carter is also trying to schedule a meeting with Cuban government leaders but no date has been set, Pastor said. As for the possibility of a meet meeting ing between Cuban exiles and Cu Cuban ban go vernment leaders, Pastor said, "I think it's premature." Neither Pastor nor the exile lead leaders ers would discuss the specifics of their talks. "This is just one very important meeting on the road to learning more," Pastor said. "Perhaps the only point of absolute consensus between all Americans and all Cu Cubans bans is that the relationship is not right." "The Cuban problem is not an easy problem," said Alfredo Duran, president of the Cuban Committee for Democracy. "We don't expect any quick solutions." This week's talks grew out of discussions with Fidel Castro, Cuba's leader since the 1959 revo revolution, lution, during the 1994 boat people exodus from Cuba, Carter said. Pastor got Castro's approval for the current talks while in Havana earlier this year. Carter has pursued such private peacekeeping efforts around the globe, including negotiations last year in Haiti, North Korea and. Bosnia. US journalist charged in Turkey ISTANBUL, Turkey ( AP) - An American reporter for a Western news agency has been charged with inciting racial hatred for a story she wrote about Turkey's Kurds, the agency said Wednesday. Aliza Marcus, Reuters' Istanbul correspondent, is to be tried on the charge Oct. 12, said the agency's Istanbul bureau chief Jonathan Lyons. She faces one to three years in prison if convicted. Marcus wrote that "forcibly evacuating and even torching Kurdish villages in southeastern Turkey is now a central part of the military's 10-year battle against Kurdish rebels.' The government remains sensitive about media coverage of the Kurdish conflict, which has claimed more than 16,000 lives since 1984. Hundreds of journalists, writers and intellectuals have been taken to court and imprisoned for their reporting or views on the conflict. ATurkish translation of Marcus' story was printed in the pro-Kurdish daily Ozgur Ulke, which was later shut down on the grounds of disseminating what the government called Kurdish separatist propaganda. Marcus remains free until the trial. Turkey has been criticized by Western govern governments ments for its crackdown on Kurdish guerrillas fight fighting ing for autonomy in southeastern Turkey.

Maoris burn school in land dispute WELLINGTON, Australia (AP) - Maori protest protesters ers on Thursday burned down a small-town school building they had occupied for six months in a land rights dispute as police moved to evict them. The Maoris set alight gasoline-soaked tires stacked around the building in the hamlet of Takahue in the far north of the country, as about 60 riot police ap approached, proached, with 40 more officers serving as backup. About six people, including children, carried torches around the building setting bonfires alight, Police Senior Sergeant David Pearson said. The people who will suffer (from the destruction) are the local community and the Maori people," because the protest group "has acted totally irrespon irresponsibly," sibly," said Graham. It is the first time a Maori land protest occupation has ended with the razing of a building. The Takahue community hall also burned down two weeks ago in a suspicious fire. No injuries were reported. The federal government has offered Maoris a multi-billion-dollar settlement to end all land claims dating from the British conquest of New Zealand and the dispossession of the Maoris in the mid-1800s.

Nearly every driver has tales of searching for a parking space close to class. Among the most frustrated are freshmen. Many don't enjoy the long walk from the Kaneko lot, much less parking on top of the hosDital comnlex. Freshman Seth Brandt says, "I feel that it'sa big inconvenience, but don't see any other way." "One day it took about half an hour to find a spot," said Kelly Haskell. Some freshman fear that they will never have the opportunity to buy a "park in any lot" permit because of the large size of the sophomore class and the present parking con congestion gestion problems. Manystudents also don't appreciate the poor drainage and gravel in the TRJA parking lot. The Kaneko lot is notorious for flooding in the rainy season, which is most of the school year. Students often get their feet wet walking to their car. For those who live off campus, finding a spot to park each day is a challenge. Many students are late to class because of time lost searching for a spot. Some are forced to park blocks away after a fruitless search for a close spot. Visitors often have the hardest time find finding ing a convenient place to park. The Sparks parking lot is often full, and visitors may not have ID cards which are required to park in the Kaneko lot. Visitors also aren't aware of the parking at the hospi hospital. tal. Many times they are forced to park fur further ther away from Willamette, on the street. Director of Campus Safety, Ross Stout addressed the availability of off-campus parking. "We simply don't have enough spaces on campus," he said. His advice: go directly to the hospital lot. Rather than drive around looking for an on on-campus campus spot, Stout suggested parking in ei either ther Kaneko or the hospital complex. "It takes about seven or eight minutes to walk from the hospital," which Stout points out is better than twenty minutes looking for a closer parking place.

The parking issue has taken center stage at Willamette in the last few years and with all the prob problems lems involved, it's nice to know there are some alternatives. These options range from riding the bus, to walking, to riding a bike and each can benefit this school and its people in many ways. As stated by William Duvall, chair of the History Department, "A university is a group of people loosely associated around the issue of parking." Many professors chose to bike to Willamette. Five out of the six instructors in the math department bike to the campus on a regular basis."Biking seems daunting at first . . . just do it . . . it's more fun than you think," said Bruce Arnold, WITS User Services Specialist. Pro Professor fessor Eilers in Earth Science even bikes as far as thirty miles a day to and from Corvallis in the spring. Many professors find the exercise, , low maintenance costs, and finan- cial ease of owning a bike very I appealing. Many students said biking was "a quick way to get somewhere and doesn't cost a thing." Others said "It's just as easy to get here biking than driving and besides, biking is a lot more fun." For many students, financial needs are also an issue for choosing to bike. There are also many who choose to walk. Professor Hall walks with his dog to work everyday and has dubbed his walking mate "the mattscot." Maurice Stewart of Phys Physics ics says "walking gives you a chance to think ... (it is) interesting to be connected with the world, the birds, the squirrels." With so many tourist attractions being close to Willamette including Salem Center theaters and espresso shops, many students choose to walk. There are also some that ride the bus, but many problems are evi evident. dent. Professor Duvall has ridden the bus for several years, and enjoys the time on the bus to clear his mind and to relieve anxiety. Many pro professors fessors are upset at the lack of a dependable bus service, though, and the transit is not very convenient for many teachers' schedules. Overall, there are many ben benefits efits to transportation other than driving. Not only exercise and stress relaxation are involved, but many teachers can afford to have one less car and insurance to pay. Some Sometimes times biking provides a quicker route to Willamette than driving. Pollution can result from the emis emissions sions of cars.

Accord According ing to Arnold, a locker for every professor would be helpful to pro provide vide a safe place for a bike. "If anyone is a serious biker, they will have equipment that needs to be detached from the bike when it's outside . . . this is a hassle," says Arnold. A covered bike area in front of every major building on campus would help many students and staff. Over fifteen years ago Wil Willamette lamette subsidized free bus passes to employees; this could be looked into again. Posting Salem's bike paths around campus including pos possible sible alternate routes during rush hour could also help. Salem is in the process of im improving proving its public transportation system. Many streets are being drawn with bike access and new bike paths will be made. CAMPUS SAFETY CRACKS DOWN ON VIOLATIONS ZCampus Safety plans to discipline students who have parking permits purchased by upperclassmen. ; by Tara Bilyeu Contributor Though much of the parking debate may be centered on finding solutions, campus safety has cho cho-A A sen to crack down on one issue: upperclassmen buying permits for freshmen and sophomores. Campus Safety will investigate this charge by running a check on registered owners of vehicles with the Department of Motor Vehicles. They will also check records of permit registrations from previous years. According to the Parking Regu Regulations lations pamphlet in section A. num number ber five: "Permits must be purchased by the owner of a vehicle, or the sondauehterward or other non-stu dent owner of a vehicle . . . Giving, selling, or purchasing a permit for another person, or registering a ve vehicle hicle owned by another student is a violation of the Willamette Univer University sity Standards of Conduct and will result in the suspension of parking privileges for all involved parties." So far a few students have al already ready been caught on this charge. Ross Stout, Director of Campus Safety, anticipates "discovering sev several eral more cases once serious inves investigation tigation beuins." If charged with this violation, guilty parties will receive a suspen suspension sion on their parking privileges. Jim Bauer, Dean of Residence Life, will also be addressing the issue because guilty students also violate Standards of Conduct rules within the Willamette community. Rule number four on page 37 of the Policy Manual states "Deliber "Deliberate ate lying, withholding of informa information, tion, or misrepresentation in any transaction with the university, whether oral or written" is a viola tion of Student Conduct Regula Regulations. tions. Bauer says that he does not know what the consequences will be until he has an incident to deal with. However he states "parking is a resource" and that this is a "wake "wake-up up call to people who imagine this is harmless." Bauer believes thai not all park parking ing problems will be solved by this, hut it will help those who are fol following lowing the rules to reap the benefits of being able to park in the upper upperclassmen classmen parking lots. ditorial. H The Collegian September 22, 1995 The Drostitution rests EdiTOiuals Document clarifies, improves alcohol policy he way in which the alcohol policy was en enforced forced in the fraternity houses last year made JLL it abundantly clear that students and adminis trators would benefit from writing the rules down rather than attempting to make them up as they go. In an effort to harmonize the administration and the student body's understanding of the alcohol policy, copies of the Working Document on Alcohol Policy Enforcement Conditions are being posted in resi residence dence halls and fraternities. The Working Document is an attempt to better defme what constitutes an alcohol policy violation. In addition, sanctions for breaking policy have been redesigned to better fit the violation in question. For instance, during the 1994 - 1995 academic year, if an individual was confronted for having alcohol in a common area of a fraternity house, the chapter received a $100 fine. According to the Working Document, a similar offense this year will garner the individual involved a $50 fine. This represent a fundamental shift of responsibility for an individual's actions from the house where the violation took place to the individual committing the infraction, a welcome change that is long overdue. Changes as regard unattended alcohol containers found in coinmon areas, however, are a mixed bless blessing. ing. Although the official fine to be billed to the chapter last year was $25 per container, in practice the actual sanctions are alleged to have sometimes ranged upwards of $100 per container. For the 1995 - 1996 academic year, however, the fine has been set at $ 1 00 per occurrence fmed to the chapter. In other words, one or one hundred unattended containers will merit the same sanction. . This measure will encourage fraternity members to keep an eye out for alcohol containers left unat unattended tended about the house, particularly after an infrac infraction tion has been brought to their attention by the Frater Fraternity nity House Director on duty. If members dispose only of the containers discov discovered ered by the FHD, however, containers may remain unnoticed elsewhere in the house, potentially result resulting ing in a second infraction that could have been pre prevented. vented. In order to avoid such a contingency, frater fraternity nity members could search the house for unattended containers with the FHD after a violation has occured. On top of studying for classes, learning the codes and bylaws that govern Willamette life can be diffi difficult. cult. However, students who intend to find the time to consume alcohol while in a fraternity house this year should make the time to familiarize themselves with the alcohol policy as outlined in the Working Document.

There is relief however, and this comes in the form of reductions in the increases of federal outlays.

I wonder why Mark decided not to do Opening Days again?" These of course only elude to the some of the soon to be former Senator's voracious appetites, both satisfied and tantalized. In an earlier passage, Packwood threatens to break the sacred silent mystery surrounding his fraternity initiation. "April 28, 1951: 1 am not so sure about what has happened. What was said in that room would be enough to convict us all of something. Brothers (name deleted) and (name deleted) sure let into me about my concerns of contracting anthrax . . ." Heroics absent from modern discourse It's a godless age. Which is fine. But it is also the age of the easily shot-down hero, which is not so good. Knowing what we know, how we know it: (yes it is indeed the curse of that ubiquitous undermining episte episte-mology mology which dictates the ne necessity cessity of disillusionment) this leaves us very little unsullied space in which to keep alive those untarnished human gods. We have thrown off the veil, neces necessarily sarily but perhaps too suddenly, and we are left with a gaping space where our reverence once was. The concept of the 'hero', as we know it, is fast dying (as Suzanne Vega would have it), and in its place has been flimsily established, just to cite one flawed example, the bastardized concept of "heroes for today", those Readers Digest contriv contrivances ances who acheive heroism for deeds more properly called duty or extra-curricular kindness. You are not my hero when you do what anyone else would have done, when you do something that it is almost impossible not to do. Fearlessness is not heroism. It is to be respected, certainly, but never to be granted heroic status. In place of the hero is noth nothing ing yet, but in back of the hero stands that cardboard cutout, that pseudo-hero (an almost too kind epi the t) the role model . Be wary ! Role models are the stripped down dull practical heroes; those figures who accumulate a life lifetime time of good deeds and whose heroism is a thing retroactive and exhumed (that false exhum exhum-ing ing which turns up nothing but demands a pretty packaging). There is nothing wrong with role models - they provide a good linear outline and sometimes in inadvertently advertently guide a life, but they can't turn being into existence, they can't glow and they cannot imply a wordless paradigm. So we seem to have reached a crossroads, and we seek now something not bigger nor better than ourselves butsomething like ourselves, purified. We go in search of the washed analogy, of something infinitely more accli acclimated mated to our existence than the simple hero - worship of past millenias. We go in search of sublime solidarity, of friendship raised to the nth power, of daily deified interaction. We usually find only disappointment, pris prisoners oners as we often are to our dis disproportionate proportionate expectations, and to those rarcificd conceptions which force us to swallow all kinds of disheartening incongru incongruity ity daily. We may often be Stereotaxis Matt Missel swamped by that need for ev everything erything to be heroic, for each gesture, each thought, each spo spoken ken word to be if not the stuff that loving reverence is made of, than to be at least the better half of instinctual solidarity, the never-before-seen side of the mirror which unlike ours is not streaked and scratched. But hero heroism ism is not so difficult as all that. Heroism has very little to do with beauty or sublimity or the divine, or at least those qualities do not necessarily precede hero heroism. ism. Rather they are borne out of heroism, and it is something else, something more inscrutable, which makes the hero. The trick is to make these heroe s ours, and to see them true, without trans trans-posingupon posingupon them deathly solip solipsism, sism, because solipsism ex expectation pectation passive loneliness (most unheroic). And thus it is a small world, getting smaller, probably get getting ting worse, undoubtedly intent upon destroying the smiling monoliths that we carve, (vacuum - addled as we are) out of the fragments of our own dis disjointed jointed private heroism. The grandiose has been labeled mon monstrosity, strosity, labeled Goliath and felled. With the deaih of heroes as we know them comes the death of some ethereal but cru crucial cial sentiment which emanates from us, envelops the hero, and returns, touched and replen replenished. ished. But though we lose this on a grand scale, it can be re replaced placed with a more penetrating insight into the new heroes - the local hero, the known hero, the hero we see daily who is not' really a hero at all but the vessel for a heroic becoming, the hero in miniature whom there is no need to revere but only to love,' to respect, and even to cherish, if that word isn't too saccharine.

Strangely, there are no entries for ASWU election seasons. Although elec election tion fraud is more up Jesse Helms' alley, one has to wonder.

News The Collegian September 22, 1995 National draft claims its own history 4 ... mm-' 'i. by Melissa Prichard Contributor This rock garden, located outside the Campus Safety office in between Lausanne and Doney halls, was created as a memorial to a former Campus Safety officer who died this past summer. Rock garden dedicated to Campus Safety officer by Chantelle Smith Contributor The death of Campus Safety officer Ken Diehm stunned the Willamette community this summer. Diehm passed away in the line of duty on June 26th of a massive heart attack. He was forty four. "Everyone loved him ... he was really fun to work with and had a good nature," said former dispatcher Leslie Friese. In memory and appreciation of Diehm's service to Willamette University, a small rock garden was created in front of the Cam Campus pus Safety office, located between Lausanne and Doney halls. The work, begun in August, was done by three of Diehm's co-workers: Don Wingo, Toby Fencl and Ross Stout. All the supplies needed for this project were either provided by these men or donated by other friends. Now completed, the garden holds a small fountain with many different plants. A plaque in the foreground commemorates Diehm. Diehm not only served Willamette for several years, but also worked as a security officer for the Salem Hospital, and as a re reserve serve police officer at the Independence Po Police lice Department for eleven years. Diehm left behind a wife, Debra, and two teenage sons, Jeffrey and Erik. Diehm owned and operated Monmouth Outdoor Store, was a member of the Independence Elks Lodge, and was a certified gunsmith who also en enjoyed joyed fishing. Ken is," said Wingo, "and will be, greatly missed." During the Vietnam War, thousands of young men were drafted to serve in the Ameri American can military. This issue of the draft became a major point of contention for many anti-war protesters. Surprisingly, conscription has been a hotly debated topic in America since the Revolutionary War. These first debates for and against National Conscription were the subject of the Sept. 21 Faculty Colloquium. The presenter, Dean of the College of Liberal Arts, Lawrence Cress, began his look at the history of conscription in America by examining the purposes of the state militia in the late 1700s and early 1800s. "The state militia was viewed as a way to build community through the spreading of values and security from enemies it offered. It was inclusive and men were thought to become better citizens through participation in the militia," stated Cress. The issue of whether the national govern government ment had the power to require people to serve in a national militia was raised during the War of 1 8 12. The War of 18 12 was the first military crisis for the Early Republic. During the Revolutionary War, individual states drafted men into the army, but now the new nation, as a whole, was faced with the need to draft." The main conflict that arose from this first national conscription was whether or not the national government had the power to draft citizens from separate states to act to together gether as a unified military body. Concerning this argument, Cress stated, "One side of the debate felt that if the national government had the power to raise an army, then it should have the power to draft people into it." The opposing side in this debate argued the na national tional draft was "an assault on the Second Amendment and the state militia." The War of 1812 ended in 1815 and the debate over national conscription was, for the most part, silenced. However, there were four court cases which followed the War of 1812 that keep the issue of a national draft in the limelight. The first case was Commonwealth vs. Bryd. According to Cress, the significance of this case was it declared "in matters of na national tional security no state legislature could ex exempt empt a person from serving in the Nation's military. Ever able-bodied person must help the Federal government when it is threatened by an enemy." The second case (Houston vs. Moore) found it constitutional for "the State and the national government to fine a person who does not take up arms when conscripted." The third case (Martin vs. Mott) reviewed and granted the right of the national govern government ment to "mobilize the militia in anticipation of a enemy military attack." Then, the federal government had the power to draft even when the country is just being threatened by an enemy and not participating in a direct war- , fare. 4 The fourth and most influential court case dealing with the national draft was South Carolina vs. Hunt. The state of South Caro Carolina lina had passed a law making military offic officers ers pledge allegiance to the state of South Carolina instead of the United States of , America. South Carolina contended that na national tional power was given to the individual through the agent of the state. The State Appeals Court pointed out people, not states, ratified the constitution and the national government, not the state government, maintained public security. -Therefore, military officers must pledge alle allegiance giance to their state and the National Govern Government. ment. "The ruling in the South Carolina vs. Hunt case truly brought home the fact that America was a nation-state and not a nation of states," stated Cress. " These cases set a precedent for the federal government to institute the national draft in times of need. The American Civil War was the first time national conscription was used. Then, during World War I, debates over con conscription scription once again raged but the govern govern-ment ment simply pointed to the above-mentioned court rulings and began drafting men. In 1917, the Supreme Court declared conscrip conscription tion constitutionally legal. From the War of 1812 to World War I to the Vietnam War, conscription has played a major role in American military strength. Debates over whether or not national con conscription scription should occur have equally played an important role in American politics. Le Legally gally and historically, proponents of con-' scription have won out, but only time will tell if American citizens will allow another mili military tary draft to happen. RHA prepares for new semester of programing by Melissa Prichard Contributor The Residence Hall Associa Association tion (RHA) is an important student organization that gets little recog recognition. nition. In fact, one of the goals of Lennie Freeman, a Senior and RHA President, is to "increase student awareness of what RHA is and what it can do for the student." RHA acts primarily as a bridge between the Residence Life Office and the students. The organization, itself, is made up of five executives and represen representatives tatives from every resident hall and the Campus Apartments. However, every student is tech technically nically amemberofRHA and there therefore, fore, anyone can take part in the planning of RHAevents. "All some someone one has to do is attend meetings and have the desire to become involved in campus issues. RHA thrives on active partici participation pation and it is great way to make your concerns heard," Freeman stated. "RHA is also the parent organi organization zation of the Hall Councils," stated Freeman.

These is issues sues will in include clude park parking, ing, outside keys for Lausanne residents and establishing a Damage Re view Board (to oversee Residence Hall fines). "RHA can deal with campus issues because there is no elite in in-crowd. crowd. RHA is simply here to help and always acts in the students' best interest." Freeman adds, "If there is an issue that needs to be addressed, Residence Life needs to be aware of it first. RHA allows this connection between the administration and the students to occur." RHA also performs other ser services vices for the student body. It provides parents with the op opportunity portunity to buy care packs for their child (during finals) and even de liver them or have the student pick them up from a designated area. In December, RHA hosts a Win Winter ter Ball. The ball is a chance for students to get off campus and have some run witn friends before Finals and Winter Break. There will be a conference in No November vember also. The conference is a time for all the RHAs in the Northwest to get togetherand work on leadership skills. This year, RHA plans on taking eight people from Hall Councils to the conference. Tanya Dix, a Junior and past RHA executive, said "RHA is ef effective fective because there is such a small core group that gets together and really talks about a situation, unlike ASWU, which seems hampered by the formal procedure and large num number ber of participants. RHA has a more personable atmosphere and is a good brain-storming organization." "RHA can also throw functions on a smaller level. The budget for the Winter Ball is $ 1 000 and I heard a lot more positive response to thi's event than Black Tie (which costs around $15,000). RHA sets a good example on how to budget and how to have events that are really mean meaningful ingful for the students," Dix added. Mike Aiello, Sophomore and on-campus resident, stated, "RHA, as I view it, tries to keep the RAs, ARDs and RDs in line. I am not really sure if this is RHA's real purpose, but if it is, I think RHA is doing a good job." Aiello added "I was not really aware that RHA even sponsored events. I just assumed ASWU ran all activities. However, it would be a good idea for RHA to focus on activities. The residence halls are the center of social life. Therefore, it would only be reasonable to as- , sume RHA would play a role in activities which encouraged social socializing izing in the halls." Whether it is planning activities ordealing with issues, RHA is work working ing to bring students and the admin administration istration together, j - RHA meetings are every Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. in the back lounge of Doney.

M ,11 l I Since the fall of communism in the Soviet union, Cuba has been forced to make some drastic adjust adjustments. ments. History Professor Bill Smaldone shared his Cuban experi experience ence in this week's convocation entitled "Crisis in Cuba." Students and professors alike came to Cone Chapel on Wednesday to hear Smaldone tell of his two-week trip. This summer the history pro professor fessor had the opportunity to travel to -Cuba with a delegation com composed posed mostly of "American Left Leftists." ists." The group was opposed to the current US trade embargo on the island. However, Smaldone discov discovered ered that the situation was different than they had imagined. Shortly after arriving, Smaldone and his group had the opportunity to hear Juan Antonio Blanco speak. Blanco is a Cuban philosopher and formerly held a position in the of office fice of the Central Committee. He proposed that the embargo is actu actually ally beneficial to Cuba. The lack of US interference in the Cuban economy allows the native govern government ment to recover after the collapse of the Soviet Union. The absence of Soviet aid is a major dilemma for Cuba. Because of limited funding, the government has had to focus its efforts for im improvement provement in areas like education, medicine and overall standard of , living. Smaldone says the country still faces severe food shortages. Part of the reason for the scarcity of food can be traced back to the with withdrawal drawal of the USSR. The Soviets provided things like fuel for trac tractors, tors, animals that produced more food, and grain to feed them. With Without out the Soviets, Smaldone said, trac tractors tors stand idle and grain-fed ani animals mals don't produce. Smaldone said "Some Cubans miss the Russians." Not only did some Cubans have friendships with the Russians, but they also remem remember ber the easier economic times. Cu Cubans bans do not miss Russian economic policy. One of the things Smaldone noticed on his trip was the outward dilapidation of Cuban buildings.

V September 16, 10:30 p.m. Professor Bill Smaldone shared his convocation entitled Crisis in Cuba. Many buildings were literally falling apart. According to Smaldone, the poor upkeep could be attributed to several factors. First of all, poor planning on the part of the government did not take upkeep into account. Under socialist rule, buildings are publicly owned, which people associate with state owned. Since citizens do not own the build buildings, ings, no one takes responsibility for the maintenance. Some of Cuba's problems ac-' cording to Smaldone: dependency, centralized government, lack of pri private vate ownership, difficulty in get getting ting maintenance labor and the fact that nearly everything has to be imported. Smaldone pointed out that prob problems lems like these have a serious psy psychological chological effect on Cuban citi citizens. zens.

Sugar is by far Cuba's biggest ex export port and production is down fifty perccent. Many sectors of the economy have bottomed out. Tens of thousands, Smaldone says, have been left without jobs. Smaldone went on to address how the Cubans are dealing with the crisis. The government has re resorted sorted to stop- gap measures to try to hold the country together.

Privatized shops relieve unemploy unemployment. ment. The tourist industry is thriving. Many Cubans are seeking jobs in tourism because they have access to dollars, and they make more than the average service worker (seven dollarsa month). One of the main problems, Smaldone said, is that Cuba had too much product industries and not enough services. Smaldone said that agriculture is the key sector in the Cuban economy. In order to boost production, Cubans are being forced to return to localized techniques of farming. The government has begun to give the land back to the farmers, and has allowed buying and selling at farmers' markets. According to Smaldone, organic fanning meth methods ods and privatized coops are pro producing ducing promising results. Farmers are mainly concerned with drawing workers from the cities to work the land. Without Soviet technology, more manpower is required. In conclusion, Smaldone gave the government credit for its progress in allowing more freedom of political thought and civil rights, but he pointed out the weakness in the democratic process and non issue-based campaigns as setbacks in the governmental process.

Both faculty and students are hard at work on the new World Views topic "The Middle East." This is a new topic for all parties concerned, and according to Todd Sil verstein, the chair of the new topic and a Chemistry professor, "There are 26 teachers, who are just as much students to this as the new incoming freshmen." All 26 professors were gathered from different disciplines from all around campus to teach and learn. "That's the beauty of this course," stated Silverstein, "The new students can actually see for themselves that the learning process never stops, even for a college professor." The new "Middle East" topic was most defi definitely nitely an easy area of study to settle on. "Actually, the faculty wanted 'easy' things like Plato and Socrates." It was the Peer Tutors who tipped the balance, suggesting something like Africa or the Middle East. "They wanted a more current and happening area," Silverstein said, "and we knew a little bit about the Middle East, while we only have one African-American teacher, and he's in the Educa Education tion Department, so he doesn't teach World Views." Even once the topic was nailed down, there were still many challenges left to be met. The first and foremost challenge was to get the curriculum planned out. They first had to decide on the main areas of study. Finally, four were put into action; environ environment ment and resources, religion and culture, gender and society, and politics and identity. Once these were decided on books had to be decided on and purchased. "We read for six months straight in our respec respective tive committees," Silverstein laughed wryly. These were finally settled on: Palace Walk, Water: Con Conflict flict or Cooperation, Season of Migration to the North, The Year of the Elephant, and finally the Resource Book. All of these then had to be or ordered, dered, and all of the publishers had to be contacted to see about photocopying the material for the Resource Book. "I had to write letters, follow up on those letters, and then phone 22 different publishers," groaned Silverstein, "and then had to pay most of them, although some of them did let us have the material for free." Once the material was lined up, speakers, concerts, and an art exhibit needed to be dealt with. One of the lectures coming up will be given by Hanan Aslirawi, a West Bank Pakistanian, and will be an Atkinson Lecture that the whole campus may attend. There will be two concerts; one by a group called "Al Andalus," and another by a group from Portland. There is also an art exhibit right now in the Hallie Brown Ford Art Gallery which was funded by an AT&T grant. "Lining those up took almost as much time as choosing the material," Silverstein stated unenthusiastically, "that was all my job, so it was very difficult." The last major hurdle was to get the faculty to accept this new topic. "It's very hard for a teacher to deal with trying to teach something that they don't know as much about," said Silverstein. "They're used to being the experts, and it's hard to adjust to having your students knowing almost as much as you do." There will, of course, be events that the whole campus and even beyond will be invited to. The Hanan Ashrawi lecture will be all-campus, as well as both concerts. The art exhibit has even been recently reviewed by the Oregonian, according to Silverstein. "I believe that this course is designed for the freshman, to introduce them to give them a sense of cohesion," "so it should be geared more tow to the rest of campus, anyway." Many similarities will occui emphasises and the new. "We don't try to total iar tern," said Silverstein, "we jus previous four years, and then try them."

The World Views program not only allows students to learn more about the Middle East, it also gives freshmen a chance to become ad adjusted justed to the pressures and expectations of col college. lege. This is done through the use of peer tutors. Peer tutors are assistants to the professor. They act as a buffer between the professors and stu students, dents, and are able to give help to students when the professor cannot. Eugene Berger, a Senior peer tutor, explained that "students may have questions and they are intimidated by the pro professor, fessor, so they can ask a peer tutor." He believes that peer tutors help many first-year college students as they become adjusted to college. "I will act as the person to consult about papers. It is a good idea to have papers proofread before you turn them in," he said. The peer tutors were chosen by faculty, and had to go through an application process. Grade point average played into the selection, and professors wrote letters of recommendation. Although no training was given to the peer tutors, all are considered competent in their college writing and studying skills. Peer tutors receive a half-credit for their work. They are able to earn a full credit if they choose to write a lengthy paper about the Middle East. Peer tutors are expected to attend every class session, and they meet one night a week with the profes professors sors to discuss the progress of the class. Berger also plans to put in one hour a night proofreading papers and helping students as the class progresses. Many of the peer tutors are interested in teaching. Berger believes that this is a good opportunity for future teachers because "peer tutoring gives good classroom experience." Although it varies from class to class, peer tutors will be expected to help evaluate the class. This could range from grading small writing assign assignments ments to acting as an impartial advisor for par participation ticipation grades. Working closely with students as they pre prepare pare papers will also help the peer tutors. Berger thinks that "it will be exciting to work with the students and professors. It will also be an enhancement of my speaking and writing skills." Even though peer tutors do not have a set curriculum to follow in their World Views classes, it has been said that the work can be become come tedious. It is imperative that the peer tutors keep up with the class, and be on top of all reading and discussion. Peer tutoring has also proven to be a lot of fun for the students involved. "It really isn't as boring as it seems!" exclaimed Berger. "It is a fun group to involved with, and we have all become good friends. Our goal for the year is to help the freshmen adjust to what is expected for writing in the Willamette system." said Berger. Guest 1 vie1 -Lif.

The ultimate initiation into the academic foray: the year's first world views paper, which is due September 25 by Jly&ia Al&zcuid&ir editor (The following poem was found on an aban abandoned doned computer screen. The author could not be reached for comment, since she was shrieking "I'm in hell!!!" up and down the halls) World Views is HELL: a haiku "Blank computer screen Paper is due tomorrow Don'tcha love World Views?" -anonymous The flurry of students rushing in and out of the computer labs at all hours (even including Satur Saturdays) days) is a sign of the approaching nemesis of many first-year students: the year's first World Views paper. On September 25 th at 12:30 pm, over four hundred first year students will submit their manu manuscripts. scripts. Some will be weary from a night spent in anguished composition, others will calmly an announce nounce to their incredulous friends that theirs has been done since Opening Days. The first World Views paper is at the very least a rite of passage into the realm of academia; at its worst, it is fodder for five years' worth of therapy. Topics for the first paper are assigned by each professor, and center around the readings and lec lectures tures completed and attended by each first year student. Paper topics run the gamut of various disciplines from literary analysis to politics, social theory to creative writing. For Julie Goss, a student in Suresht Bald's class, the assignment was inspirational. Each stu student dent was responsible for formulating his or her own topic, and Goss chose to write another chapter to the book Palace Walk, the Naguib Mahfouz novel assigned as summer reading. In her chapter, Goss will develop a situation in which the family 's water supply is depleted, and show how the loss of this precious resource affects their lives. "I like it because I like creative writing -1 was happy to have this option," said Goss. Goss added that as preparation for the paper she had to do a lot of thinking about how the loss of water would affect the lives of the characters. Melissa Lynette, a student in Joe Bowersox's class is writing about the peace negotiations be between tween the Palestianians and Israelis. This topic was chosen among three choices. For Lynette, the greatest challenge of this topic has been under understanding standing the issue. "It was pretty hard for me because I didn't do my reading as well as I should have when they were assigned, and I had to do more research," said Lynette. The environmental effects of the firing of the Kuwaiti oil wells during the Gulf War is the topic which Janell Pitts, of Kelly Ainsworth's class is choosing to write on. Like Lynette, Pitts has had to do extra research on her topic, a source of some struggle, since there is little available data avail available able which detail the post-war environmental effects. "Writing: the art of applying the seat of the pants to the seat of the chair," Mary Heaton Vorse. For many students, however, the real chal challenge lenge is actually sitting down and writing their paper. It is in this process that the endurance and stamina of students is tested, and fundamental values of their work ethics are tested. Will the paper be started at 2a.m. the night before, or will the final copy, in its pristine clarity, be ready to hand in on Friday afternoon, leaving the writer all weekend to listen to the anguished cries of their lesser advanced hallmates? Lynette hopes to fall into the latter category. "I'm going to try and get it done before the weekend," asserted Lynette, adding that her fam family ily would be coming to visit her. Pitts has already had her rough draft edited and critiqued by a group of peer editors from her class as well as her professor. She hopes to have her finished copy almost finished by Friday night, but she admits that it probably won't be com completely pletely done until Monday morning. A visit to the newly opened Writing Center will also probably be a priority for this week, said Pitts, who has already visited the Writing Center with her World Views class. A fully equipped computer lab, a library full of reference books and a staff of writing consultants will be on hand this weekend to assist students in their task. Writing Center hours for the weekend are Friday: 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Sunday: noon to 10 p.m. H i lecturers bring unique ;wpoints to campus Visiting the campus on October 6th is Dr. Daniel Brumberg, who is currently the Assistant Professor to the Department of the Government at Georgetown University in Washington D.C. Brumberg has written largely on social and political reform in the Middle East especially in relation to the role of Islam in these changes. Brumberg is coming to campus to lecture on scared texts and modern fundamental fundamentalism ism of the Islamic faith. Then on November 9th is the Atkinson Lecturer, Dr. Hanan Ashrawi, the Commissioner General at the Palestinian Independent Commission for Citizens Rights in Jerusalem. Ashrawi was the Palestinian spokeswoman for the peace talks with Israel and is a major voice for Palestinian rights. The fact that she is female in a male dominated part of the world only adds to the interesting things about Ashrawi and her lecture is truly something to look forward to. On November 16th we have a lecture by Israeli Consul Reda Mansour. Mansour served as Second Secretary in the International Organizations Divisions, focusing on UN af affairs fairs and is now in San Francisco in the position of Counsel to the Pacific Northwest Region. These are just a few of the exciting speakers to come to Willamette University this semester. Others include a September 25th lecture on Sacred Spaces and Architecture in the Middle East by Willamette Art His History tory professor Dr. Ann Nicgorski and a November 1 st lecture on the book Year of the Elephant by Dr. DonnaLee Bowen. "We have some exciting people coming to campus." says Economics professor Jerry Gray, who is instrumental in World Views this year. Professor Gray goes on to say that the "speakers are thrilled to have an informed and excited audi audience." ence." They are glad to have a place to share their knowledge and the speakers "are excited that this is happening on our campus." 1995-1 996 World Views Lecture Series August 25 Opening Convocation Linda Jacobs September 6 "Geography of the Region" Professor M.

The Finance Board is in charge of allocat allocating ing all Student Body Fees ($45 per student) to student organizations and clubs. The mem members bers of the board include five people-at-large (chosen by the Election Board), two Senators and the ASWU Treasurer. All clubs must participate in hearings to help the Board make their decision on where funds should go. For students and clubs that are new to the whole funding request system, Scott Dil worth, ASWU Treasurer, has a few helpful hints to relieve any misconceptions and fears. "The best thing an organization can present before the Finance Board is a detailed budget outline. For example, if a club is planning to have a speaker, try to call and know exactly how much money is needed to hold that event. This way the club will have proof that the amount of money they ask for is the amount they really need. "This shows the Finance Board that the figures are accurate and helps the Board de cide whether or not to approve the funding request." Dil worth added:"Not all funding requests can be approved because there is simply not enough funds. Choices have to be made. The Finance Board makes judgment calls on fund funding ing based on the details and descriptions provided by each club." "Luckily, this looks like a good year for funding. ASWU is getting money back from last year's canceled Dennis Miller show. This new money will be added to the ASWU budget and available for clubs," stated Dilworth. Jeremy Teissere, last year's LGBA (Les (Lesbian, bian, Gay and Bisexual Alliance) Treasurer, said, "I went before the Finance Board, last year, not knowing what to expect. I had to learn what was expected the hard way - as I went along!" Teissere added, "LGBA did not get all the funds that were requested because our budget was not specific enough. However, we never had a problem with not having enough money to do our activities, There is always money left over in the unallocated fund, which clubs can request for later in the year. My only advice for clubs this year is good luck with the process and be specific with your budget" Jolene Yee, Asian Association President 94-95, also had to go before the Finance Board last September. "I was nervous, but it turned out to be more like a discussion than a hearing. People just need to be prepared to answer questions about why they request funds and what the role their club plays for the community." Yee and Teissere both mentioned that the most difficult part of the process is trying to plan the club's needs for the whole year in September. It is hard to know all the exact dates and specific details. However, Yee also stated, "I understand why we must give all the details (so they know a club is serious ' in its plans and will re really ally spend the funds it gets for a particular event). "lean only tell clubs don't be discouraged or stressed. Remember, there is always fundraising if a club does not get all its funds," Yee concluded. For Summer Boslaugh and Heather Hoell, the co-directors of Willamette Com Community munity for Choice, the fund requesting pro process cess is a new one. "The Finance Board requires so many specifics it is hard for a new club to plan for the whole year. Additionally, it is not really made clear whether there will be money avail available able for clubs later in the year,"said Hoell. Dilworth promises there will be money available for clubs, later in the year, in the unallocated fund. "We are hopeful the club will get the money we request, yet appre hensive of what will ulti ultimately mately occur. So far, all the money to start up this club has come out of our the directors' pockets. A new club like ours re ally needs funds to be successful," Hoell con concludes. cludes. Money and appre apprehension hension really do seem to go together when it comes to the club funding request process. However, the consensus among those who have been through it on how to find suc cess in this process appears to be: stay calm, prepare a detailed club budget and be ready to answer lots of questions when in front of Finance Board.

Sophomore's bill makes it to legislature, but fails by Heather Stampfli Contributor NON SEQUITIR Some students wait until after college to try to change the world, others try to do it now. Sophomore Jill Olin spent a good portion of her time last year over at the capital trying to pass a bill that would re require quire high school students to do 60 hours of community service in or order der to graduate. , The idea of the bill stemmed from a YMCA program called Youth In Government, which was a mock legislature. After writing the bill people heard about it, and soon Olin was presenting her ideas to various committees in her home hometown, town, Bend, Oregon. It wasn't long before Bend's representative, Dennis Luke, heard about Olin's bill and decided to sponsor her attempt to bring it be before fore the legislature. Olin than spent a huge amount of time at the Capitol lobbying to get the bill passed. Her bill stirred up a lot of debate: in fact when the issue came to a vote, it was debated about for 20 minutes, which is a long time compared to the length of debate on other issues. The vote was taken and the result was 22 for, 38 opposed. Olin has often been asked if she will make another attempt to get her bill passed. Her response to this is that while the experience that she gained from last year's time at the capi tol was "incredible," she doesn' t feel that she can handle all the work that the bill would take by herself. Olin also said that the bill could ? w I " " - t Sophomore Jill Olin first arrived in Salem not as a student at Willamette but as a proponent of change at the State Capitol. not be repurposed without major revisions.

The self-described "western story" had many highlights, but overall it slips into the cliched, pre predictable dictable genre of B-movies. It doesn' t have a brilliant script, revolutionary camera work, an all all-star star cast or a memorable soundtrack. Unfortunately, it doesn't even have an original plot. Instead, it is more of a patchwork of a lot of successful western movies with all the obliga obliga-tory tory scenes and conversations. Splicing scenes from Dances With Wolves, The Fugitive and Last of the Mohicans, the plot has less than a handful of unpredictable twists. What Last of the Dogmen does have is one darn smart dog.

This came as a great surprise to many because Navarro's musical style is much Yossef, a dedicated Zionist, together with the help of an ex-Nazi, permit permitted ted the passage of many Jews through a self-constructed path of safety, called the Italian Passage.

This leads him to ques question tion the element of truth behind the heroism of his father, and the nature of his loyalty to the Jewish race. Through this thought-provoking and suspenseful book, Gordon raises the question of human righ righteousness, teousness, and the guilt that is not merely isolated to such characters as the Nazis. Gordon suggests that "everyone's guilty," that this guilt is found even behind the mask of Jewish holiness. Furthermore, Gordon criticizes the idea of revenge and the unspo unspoken ken right of the oppressed to kill; taking a life, even one of a Nazi, into their own hands. Through When Gates and Professor Lillian Sloan (Barbara Hershey), lose their balance on a mountain slope covered in unstable shale, Gates yells, "Zip, lead the horse. Good boy." And amazingly enough, the little lap dog trots over, grabs the lead rope in his mouth and starts walking. Wow. Now that's talent. But I'll start at the beginning: the story opens when a busload of state prisoners overturns along the Montana highway, and three pris prisoners oners escape near Logan Pass. As in any real western movie, the town has a hardened, snarly police chief affectionately referred to as "Sheriff." In Dogmen, Sheriff Deegan just happens to be the father-in-law of the town drunk, Lewis Gates, who is the best bounty hunter around. So Deegan convinces Gates to take the job, and Gates rides off on horseback into the wilderness of the mountain pass to track down the escapees and bring them back alive. Eventually, Gates picks up their trail with the help of trusty Zip, who seems to uncover all sorts of clues, including arrows, bloody clothes, footprints in the mud and strange noises. He settles down for the night, planning to capture the convicts at more dark, introspective and sub substantially stantially less funky than the wild sock-clad Chili Peppers.

Using these points, he connects them with the biblical story of the sacrifice of Isaac. Gordon draws upon Uffizi Caravaggio's interpre interpre-tational tational painting of this story, in which an angel shields Isaac from his father, pointing to a ram as the proper form of sacrifice. This story becomes important because it was the point in which God "taught the power of symbol symbolism ism to Abraham" and supported "reconciliation over aggression." Using this biblical allusion, Gordon addresses humankind and our af affinity finity for killing, and the excuses we hide behind. He, subsequently, portrays his ideas of the nature of God and the implications these hold for a society of human beings. In an ambitious and fresh look at the Holocaust, Gordon attempts to reconstruct ideas and blur the lines between guilt and righteous righteousness. ness. Unfortunately, he only comes disappointing Dogmen dawn, when all of a sudden in a white mist, he hears horses and screams and gunshots. When he rides over to find out what has hap happened, pened, he finds two of his convicts, dead with arrows sticking out of them. One of the most annoying parts of the movie is that the third convict is never accounted for. It is not specified whether he died or es escaped. caped. I hate that in a movie. So Gates takes an arrow to ar ar-cheologist cheologist Dr. Sloan, a perky, pretty, pouty, sassy professor, to help solve the mystery of the dead convicts. Sloan repeatedly brushes him off, but eventually agrees to accompany him on a trip into the mountains to look for the Cherokee dog soldiers, a group of fierce warriors that sup supposedly posedly died long ago - Gates is convinced that the dogmen are very much alive and have killed the con convicts. victs. The rest of the movie recounts their harrowing journey. From this point in the movie until the end, every scene is cliched and predict predictable. able. There is very little freshness or originality, even in the dialogue. For example, Gates and Sloan are complete opposites and can hardly stand to be in each other's album, 4 One a new Chili Pepper album, it will be substantially different sounding than the previous one, and it will be more complete musically and have much more to offer than the previous al album. bum. The first release from "One Hot Minute," "Warped," seems to be dominating both MTV and the ra radio, dio, which is surprising considering how much it differs from what most Chili Pepper fans have come to ex expect. pect. Some of the strongest songs on this album include "Warped, ""Aeroplane," "Walkabout" and "My Friends," which will do its best to rival the popularity of "Under the Bridge" by staying with the same plodding storytelling style. The dominant theme in Anthony close to successfully incorporating these ideas into a complete, fully developed work. The allusions are often far-fetched and unclear, evad evading ing the reader. He ends up needing to explain himself, and the prevail prevailing ing themes, a number of times throughout the book. Gordon bites off more than he can chew, falling short of what could be a complex and multi-faceted book. Gordon displays competance in handling the suspense element, and manages to surprise the reader with his textual twist and turns. It is when he tries to go past this that he just misses the mark. Nevertheless, Sacrifice of Isaac leaves the reader with powerful images. His twist on the Holocaust story allows the reader to view this elusive and corrupt period of time in a new light. Gordon's mixing of factual events with fictional characters il illuminates luminates the psychological and actual ramifications of the people connected to the Holocaust, on both sides. Gordon leaves the reader with a good story and a few new ideas to ponder. presence when they embark. Gates is the ultimate Marlboro Man with a week's worth of scruff on his face and the hat he scarcely removes from his head. Sloan, on the other hand, is outfitted out of a J.Crew catalog, and somehow manages to keep her lipstick on under the most cruel conditions. Pursing her lips is her favorite expression. I must say I expected more from Hershey, a vet veteran eran actress. They banter back and forth in sarcastic tones, and by the end of the movie, the two are inevi inevitably tably in love, passionately. Gates becomes a sensitive, nineties kind of guy, and Sloan is transformed into a wild-haired wilderness woman. As you can tell by the movie's title, theirjourney is successful, and they do discover a tribe of Cherokee Dogmen. And without revealing the rest of the plot, or the ending, I'll just add that there is nothing sur surprising prising about the finale. Most of this movie was entertaining and the cinematography was breathtaking. However, I'd either wait for Dogmen to be released on video, or see it during economy times. And don't expect this movie to be an inspirational evening you'll be disappointed. Hot Minute' Kiedis' lyrics continues to be his newfound strength that he gained when he finally kicked his heroin addiction. He often refers to his life before he became sober in a very reflecting tone and seems to breathe a big sigh of relief whenever he realizes that he is no longer trapped. Although this CD may take a few listenings before it grabs you and pulls you into its clutches, it is well worth the $15 to $16 invest investment ment I have found that each time I listen to "One Hot Minute," I notice that there is some nuance of each song that I haven't noticed before. Most importantly, the four year drought is over, and "One Hoi Minute" makes the wait seem al almost most worth it.

(AP) - When a local nursing student is feeling tired, she reaches for some white dirt to eat. "It's great. If I eat it over a period of a week or so, it helps me feel a lot better," said Cheryl Saint of Auburn. "Mine is not a craving. Most pregnant women take it be because cause they are craving minerals." She had first tasted clay, or what is commonly called white dirt, in high school when one of her class classmates mates brought her some to try. But it wasn't until years later when someone in a health food store sug suggested gested clay that she tried it again. "I told them I was tired all the time and I was taking calcium and iron, but it wasn't working," Saint said. "They suggested I try the white dirt for ;he minerals and the iron. I tried it and it does work. I don't use it as a mainstay. There are a lot easier methods to use. "If I get really, really low as far as my iron or calcium and feel 'draggy,' I'll eat some if it is handy." She said she gets her white dirt from several places and was sur surprised prised to see it for sale last fall at a local fair. She said she can get it from a lot of the girls at work whose grandmothers all have their special little digs where they go for it. "Most people, if they haven't see it, don't understand," the 28-year-old said. "It is not like picking up a clump of dirt and eating it. It has more of a consistency like clay. It is not as dry as chalk and has got a real earthy taste." Geophagia, a term for dirt and clay cravings, is one of three com common mon types of what is known as pica. The other two are Pagophagia, or Idyllic beach awaits up north by RonC. Judd Assosciated Press SAMISH BAY, Wash. (AP) -Something is horribly wrong here. This is what you'll be saying to yourself with every step taken down the trail to Clayton Beach, a lovely layered salad of sand, stone and saltwater near Larrabee State Park, just south of Bellingham. Surely this cannot be the way to the beach. Beaches sound like a day-care center at a motor speed speedway. way. Beaches smell like coconut oil and burnt turkey franks. Beaches look like apre-Christmas Sunday at Bellevue Square. This place looks like the back yard alder forest you frolicked in as a youth.

A ten minute stroll beneath the cool forest canopy takes you across the railroad tracks (look both ways, this one is active) and deposits you on the beach. This is not just any beach; it's a beach proper: a beach the way beaches used to look before hu humans mans began marking their territory with Squirt bottles and used bri ice cravings, and Amylophagia, or laundry starch cravings.

Sand, sun and smooth beach await as far as you can see or would want to walk in either direction. Teeming crowds do not. Although this beach and others around Larrabee get consistent use, you won't find uncomfortable masses here. Recreators tend to blend into the shoreline's quirky mix of hid hidden den coves and prehistoric rock for formations. mations. It's a marvelous place to kick off your shoes, rub sand between your toes, secure your own private rock cove and let the late afternoon sun attempt to burn a hole through the back of your favorite novel. The shoreline alone both Clayton Beach and another similar, more heavily visited beach just to the north, at Larrabee make this north Puget Sound area a hidden jewel. But the treasure-trove of other outdoor activities in the park and on adjacent Department of Natural Resources lands, such as Clayton Beach, combine to place Larrabee near the top of the list of Northwest multi-use masterpieces. Spend aday wandering the 2,765 acres of Larrabee (and rest assured it will take at least a day), and you'll see it all.

Mountain bikers roll up and some, shocks others patients. "There are studies that show a correlation between patients who are anemic and a craving for items that are not food. That would include someone who might be on dialysis, or someone who might be pfegnant. They have the same type of anemia." She said white dirt is not the only thing that people eat that is not normally considered food. The dietician said she purchased some white dirt at the local farmer's market and had it analyzed. "It does contain minerals that combine with the iron, but there can be heavy metals in it depending on where you get the white dirt," she said. For example, lead and alumi aluminum, num, which are not good.

Even rock climbers have adopted Larrabee as a second home, testing the diverse, challenging smooth rock faces that soar above the local railroad tracks - or even directly above the saltwater. . Larrabee State Park, one of the state's least-developed and most diverse, also was the state's first. Public use of the land dates back to 1915, when two' local families, the Larrabees and Gateses, donated about 20 acres of land to the state.

Si- I port 13 September 22, 1995 Tlje Collegian Penalties, sluggish offense stop football team by Jennifer Miller Contributor It was beautiful. Senior wide receiver Geoff Huetten leaped, reached and caught the ball for a picture perfect touchdown. The crowd cheered, the team yelled, Central Washington fans got con concerned cerned looks on their faces. This was a moment of the Willamette Bearcats playing true football. Unfortunately, the team's Sat Saturday urday season opener against Cen Central tral Washington in Kennewick was not 60 minutes of true football for the team. Hassled by a myriad of flass including illegal blocks, false starts, delays, the Bearcats got dis discouraged couraged early on. And although the team played their hearts out, it wasn't enough to pull the victory. In the end, time became the Bearcat' s worst enemy; there wasn' t enough of it to recover from a slow offensive start. The team returned into Willamette's parking lot at 4 a.m. Sunday with a 21-16 season loss to Central. The Bearcat defense did come out on top, despite the loss. Spend Spending ing the majority of the first half on the field, keeping Central at bay and letting only one drive through for a touchdown, the Willamette defen defensive sive team made a strong show. "I think our whole defense the whole game was right on. They only ran fifty yards on us," said senior linebacker Matt Brittan. "Even though we lost, to me it kind of reassured that were going to have a good season because of the way the defense played." Improvement of pass coverage is a major goal for the defensive lineman and linebackers. "We only have to improve our pass coverage. If we improve our pass coverage we are going to be awesome," said Brittan. Almost without exception team members thought they had not got gotten ten some of the calls they deserved and had many calls that were unde undeserved. served. "Obviously we didn't get some of the calls we wanted, but that's just the way things go," said sopho sophomore more linebacker Benji Hammond. "You have to learn to look past that and just keep going." "Without the penalties we wouldn't have lost the game. They were stupid mistakes. I think half was the ref s opinion and the other half was us trying too hard to play. What was really happened was that it was the first game and anxiety levels were just really high," said Brittan. The coaching staff thought that consistency and the fact that this was the team's first time playing together in a true game situation other than alumni game could be contributed as factors towards the loss. "We did not play a very consist game against Central Wash and that' s really what caused us the most grief," said first year Offensive Coordinator Mark Speckman. "We just really didn't sustain any true drives, especially in the first half. - ' ' ' ! ,.-- . ft. S. 5 .' , . . - :-y J - .... rv" ..... " rr - c ; The football team struggled last weekend at Central Washington , losing 1 6-2 We showed a lost of first game, and we made a lot of first game mis mistakes takes that Central had probably ironed out against Montana the week before." The Bearcats game offensively was not bad in the second half of the game after a slow start in the first. Penalties and misassignment were what caused the largest problems, according to Huetten. "I thought out running game was efficient, we just need to elimi eliminate nate mistakes like penalties and misassignments," said Huetten. "We didn't really establish any continuity on our offense and sus sustain tain a drive until the second half. Our defense was on the field most of the first half, and in the second they were tired. In the second half when we started to play like we could, they were tired." This weekend the team faces Western Oregon State College at home for a 1:30 p.m. game Satur Saturday day at McCullough Stadium. "There's not a lot that we can do different in the Western game, be because cause I thought we looked really good in the Central game," said Hammond. "Now that we have a game under our belt and people are a little less anxious, we'll be ready to head to head for Western." The coaching staff sees the Western game this weekend as a tough game which Willamette's squad will have to show it's consis consistency tency to win. "This is a game that both teams are going to be really hungry to win. Both teams lost last week and they both want it," said Speckman. "They've got a great passer and runner. We just have to cut down the mistakes and penalties and we will have the chance to do really well." OSU hands men's soccer loss by Jennifer Miller Contributor Willamette's men's soccer team suf suffered fered a 2-0 loss to the hands of Oregon State University Wednesday at OSU. The game should not be chalked up as a loss, but as a learning experience for Willamette's team. The game was a competitive one in which Willamette showed that they have the defensive skills to play competi competitively tively against big Division 1 schools like OSU. "Our defense is playing well right now," said returning starter Micah Krug. "The team just needs time to gel." Cards and injuries have slowed the team down more than anything else, Krug said. Junior Jeremy Angaran is currently on crutches as well as several other players who are sporting minor inju injuries ries such as pulled groins and sprained ankles. Players feel the team is now ready for their confer conference ence season opener Saturday against Pacific Lutheran at home at 1 p.m. Senior midfielder Rene Gonzales' brother is the starting goalie for PLU, making the match even more competitive. Pacific University from Forest Grovecomes to Salem on Sunday at 2 p.m. to face the Bearcats. "We should really well against them," said junior Andy Frazier. "It was a good match against OSU and it was a good lead up game to our first conference game this weekend." Pacific Lutheran should be the tougher of the two games for the team, according to players. Willamette's defense made a good showing in the game. "We played a really good game," said Frazier. "Our defense was strong and we moved the ball around pretty well, we just couldn't get any balls in the net. We had our chances." This was the difference from the teams' game against Seattle Pacific last week where returning forward Matt Janssen was red carded in the first ten minutes of the game. The only difficulties for the team oc occurred curred in the first half when returning starter Nino Benedetti's received a yellow card for throwing an Oregon State player down. The team and coaches came away happy with the team's performance. "They (the coaches) were happy with ourperformance," said Frasier, a de fender. "Everyone knows that we're still not up to where we can play yet. We are exactly where we should Micah Krug, junior be, it's not good to start out at the top. Our goal is to be at the peak when the playoffs come and we are right on track for that goal." The Bearcats could be even farther along then they are right now, but the team started pre-seasonpractices only three days before school started. Players mentioned a new rule con concerning cerning daily triples and pre-season praticing as being the reason for their late start this season. The team is on track play wise for how long they have been practicing this sea season, son, but they will have to continue to step up their game to face the tough competi competition tion they face this weekend.

'port: 15 September 22, 1995 TJje Collegian Crew team to kick off season with new coach by Patrick Smith Contributor The men's and women's crew teams are looking to make a name for themselves this year. Unlike many other team sports, there is never one or two stand-outs who lead the team. Rowing is a team effort and everyone must do their best in order for the team to win. This year's team is no different. Though almost all varsity crew members are returning this year, the team also recruited a large group of freshmen and sophomores for the novice boats. Among the most important re returnees turnees are the coxswains. The cox coxswain swain is the person who steers the boat and tells the rowers what to do throughout each race. Also important to the team are the returning varsity rowers who rowed "stroke" seat last year, the position which sets the pace for all of the others. The newly hired coach, Jeff Young, is attempting to deal with the problems inherent in being a first-year coach as well as those of creating a competitive team which will be able to improve upon last year's performance. Young commented "We're starting much earlier this year and are hopeful that it will provide more results by the spring." Young has his hands full run running ning two practices each day: varsity practice early each morning, and novice practice in the afternoons. This split practice schedule al allows lows the coach to focus more upon the more basic needs of the new novices while still having effective practices with the experienced var varsity sity rowers. The first races that the team will row in are the end of November; one in Portland, one in Seattle. The varsity boats will definitely row and Young hopes that the nov novice ice boats will be ready by then. These races are longer distances' than the team will row later in the season, and, as a result, take much more endurance. Another item which the team hopes to see in the near future is a new boathouse near the Willamette River, where they now row. Volleyball team takes early lead in conference by Matt Kosderka Contributor It sure has not taken long for Willamette to reestablish its domi dominance nance over the rest of the Northwest Conference of Independent Col Colleges. leges. . The Bearcats have been as close to perfect as they can get this sea season, son, winning their first eight matches, including conference vic victories tories over Whitworth, Whitman and Linfield this past week. Keeping Willamette from an impeccable start is one game early in the season against Southern Or Oregon. egon. It is the only game the Bearcats have not won this season, and SOSC barely took that game, coming away with a 16-14 victory. The Bearcats started last week on the road, with an 15-8, 15-10, 15-6 victory over Whitworth. The following after afternoon, noon, Wil Willamette lamette cruised through their match at Whitman, com coming ing away with a 15-10, 15-8, 15 15-9 9 victory. Marlene Piper liked what she saw, espe- cially with the length of the road trip. "We had pretty good intensity," she said of her team's two game stint in Wash Washington. ington. "I thought they played pretty well, especially on the road." Leading the way for the Bearcats was junior outside hitter Alicia Wright. Wright, a first team all all-conference conference selection last season, had a combined effort 29 kills, four "blocks, 44 digs and six service aces against Whitworth and Whitman. She was named the NCIC player of the week for her performance. "She was on fire," said Piper. "She did it all for us." Willamette capped off the week, by destroying Linfield in McMinvillc on Tuesday night. The Bearcats took control of the match after a long exchange of side-outs with the score knotted at 2-2 in the first game. From then on, the Bearcats dominated the match, win winning ning 15-4, 15-3, 15-3. - Piper gave a lot of credit to the overall team effort in both serving and blocking. She also liked the distribution of the sets by junior setter Stacey Kruger. Seniors Emily Moore and Sarah Pitcher along with Aspen Phelps took advantage of Kruger's performance, contributing the majority of the Bearcat offense. Willamette's easy victory came as a surprise to Piper. "I expected a five game thriller," she said. In Instead, stead, the Bearcats placed their serves extremely well, which slowed down Linfield's talented middle. The Bearcats front line con constantly stantly tipped Linfield spike attempts, which allowed the i Bearcats to run their multi-dimensional attack, and easily dispose of Linfield.

Western Oregon, last year's tournament runner-up, is entered in the tournament, and is considered the favorite. Also entered in the tournament, is Central Washington, who is ranked 4 in the regional poll, one spot behind WOSC.To get to either of those teams, the Bearcats will have to do well in their pool, which features SOSC, Concordia and Western Baptist.

Soon, both were down to the eight eight-ball ball and after ricocheting turns back and forth, Baggia finished off his opponent. The second game was shorter and not as close, In the end, Baggia deftly plowed the eight-ball and left his opponent with five balls on the table.

The result of this hearing was a lesser sentence, from one year down to one semester's suspension, and exclusion from all campus activi activities, ties, committees, and organizations, according to Smith. The next level of appeal was Vice President for Student Affairs Stuart Tennant, whom Smith sent a letter of appeal to on Sept. 1 9.

The ruling was issued yester yesterday day shortly before Smith flew outw of state for a speech tournament. ASWU President D'mitri Palmateer spoke at the conduct hear hearing, ing, informing the committee that "I had many students express con concern cern over the severity of (the pun punishment), ishment), and then also I was able to say that it set a bad precedent, since from my understanding this was a student who in essence turned him himself self in, and the punishment, given that point, was too severe. It sends the wrong message to students . . . not to turn themselves in." . Smith feels that the decision as stands denies him part of his educa education, tion, in that Willamette is marketed as having extracurricular activities that are just as important as the classes one takes. He maintains that he never used the keys for illegal means and this case sets a bad precedent for all Willamette students. "What's happened I believe is a travesty of justice," Smith said.
