The study, conducted by Dr. Henry Wechsler, Phd., of the Harvard School of Public Health in the spring of 1995, surveyed 15,000 students at 1 15 schools with Greek systems. Wechsler found that 86 of the residents of fraternity houses in his sample were binge drinkers, compared to 45 of non-fraternity men; 80 of sorority women at the same colleges reported being binge drinkers, while only 35 of inde independent pendent women met the binge drinker criteria. The study defined binge drink drinking ing as consuming five or more drinks in a row in the past two weeks for men, four or more drinks for women. Students were questioned about the frequency of their binge drinking, with 43 of sorority residents, 57 of fraternity residents, 1 5 of unaf unaffiliated filiated women and 18 of inde independent pendent men answering that they had binged three or more times in the past two weeks.

"Now, during this period of rec reconciliation onciliation and development, the focus should not be just on South Africa," Mosisili said. "The impor important tant focus should be spread on the region as a whole." But what the region must first do is "create conditions for cross cross-border border trade," Muluzi said.

Forget the Contract, the revolution has begun by Jill Lawrence Associated Press The "Contract With America" and some of its most fundamental promises seem like ancient history, but that doesn't mean the Republi Republican can revolution is dead. The GOP vision emerges this week in its clearest, most complete form yet: mammoth House and Sen Senate ate budget bills that would curb federal generosity toward students, veterans, farmers, the elderly, the poor and the disabled, cut taxes and hand vast new responsibilities to the states. The truest measure of the first Republican Congress in 40 years hinges on the extent to which that vision, shadowed by a Democratic president's veto threat, becomes law. When the 104th Congress con convened vened last January, all eyes were on the House and its "Contract With America," signed by hundreds of Republican candidates as part of a national campaign in 1 994 to retake the chamber. The twin cornerstones of the contract were constitutional amend amendments ments to limit congressional terms and require balanced federal bud budgets. gets.

The problem is, for various rea reasons, sons, so far they haven't delivered on substance. Term limits failed in the House. The Balanced-Budget Amendment failed in the Senate by a single vote. Regulatory changes - including a moratorium on federal rules and relaxations designed to aid busi business ness - are stalled in the Senate. The Senate also spurned the House's wholesale legal changes, among them a controversial loser loser-pays pays rule, in favor of a narrow prod product uct liability bill. In fact the only contract items signed into law so far have been an accountability act requiring Con Congress gress to comply with the laws it imposes on others, and an unfunded mandates act making it harder for Congress to impose requirements on states without money to carry them out. The traditional time for major congressional accomplishments is the last minute. If they can get President Clinton on board somehow, Republicans will end up with a strong - if polar polarizing izing - first-year record. At stake in the next few weeks are huge aggregate reductions in the amount of money that had been projected to be spent for various programs over the next seven years: $270 billion less in Medicare, $ 1 80 billion less for Medicaid, $ 1 3.4 bil billion lion less in agriculture subsidies, $10 billion less for student loans.

The blast occurred in the backyard of the one of the victims in this small southern town near the German border, Dutch television reported Wednesday. The names of the victims, ages 48 and 18, were withheld in line with Dutch privacy regulations. After the Tuesday night blast, police also discov discovered ered more WWII weaponry in one of the victim's residence, leading them to believe that the men col collected lected wartime weaponry. It was not known why the men were trying to dismantle the shell, or exactly how they triggered the explosion, according Dutch daily NRC Handlesbald. The Netherlands is littered with leftover WWII weaponry because of the five-year Nazi occupation. Mexican police increase patrols CIUDAD JUAREZ, Mexico (AP) - Police vigi vigilance lance has increased in the wake of the gruesome discoveries of several bodies in the desert earlier this year and city officials are trying to assure visitors that Ciudad Juarez is safe. Tourists and others who come to Juarez should not be frightened off by the deaths of the seven young women whose bodies were dumped on the city's outskirts or by increased reports of missing women, officials say. "They can come over without any fear," said Ernesto Garcia, a spokesman for the State Judicial Police. Mayor Ramon Galindo said about 150 police officers, who are assigned to administrative duties or guarding public buildings, will receive patrol assign assignments ments this year. Municipal Police Chief Jose Luis Reygadas has already increased patrols around schools, the down downtown town area, parks and tourist spots. Garcia said public publicity ity of the killings and of missing women has also prompted residents to organize to keep their commu communities nities safe. "The positive aspect of all this is that parents and teachers are organizing and patrolling their cam campuses, puses, and workers ... are taking more precautions when they leave their jobs," he said.

News 3 October 27, 1995 The Collegian Where the buck stops Foowng the trail of your tuition dollars Willamette Budget Breakdown 35 by Melissa Prichard Staff Writer Two common bonds shared by students are the twice-yearly payment of tuition and fees, and the limited knowledge about where that money goes. The examination of how Willamette spends students' money begins with the basic questions of how much money is collected and from where. Willamette's proposed revenue for 1995-96 is almost $48 million. Seventy Seventy-five five percent of that amount comes from student tuition and fees. The other twenty twenty-five five percent comes from the Government, private gifts, endowment, auxiliary enter enterprise prise (halls, food service and bookstore) and other smaller sources. All the money collected is put into the total revenue fund. This amount is then divided up to pay for different expendi expenditures. tures. "The budgeting process is very com complex. plex. We get input from all people (differ (different ent areas) on how we should spend the money. What eventually gets funded de depends pends on how much money the University has to work with," said Brian Hardin, Vice President of Financial Affairs. One important source of funding is the more than $ 1 million received in the form of private gifts. These gifts come from alumni and go into the general operating budget. Since 1980, the number of alumni giving money has increased from 12 to 40. "Money the alumni give Willamette helps substantially. I cannot think of a single department that does not benefit from these gifts," said Barbara Mahoney, Vice Presi President dent for University Relations. Another source of revenue is the $60,000 collected from parking permits and fines. This money is put into the educational and general revenue fund and is used to pay University expenses. The largest University expenses are the salaries for professors. The average Assis Assistant tant Professor earns $32,560 a year, Associ Associate ate Professor earns $37,760 and Professor earns $61,663. These figures are the most recent figures available (1993-1994) and include salaries paid to Law and Manage Management ment professors. Other expenses include Academic Sup Support, port, Student Services and Institutional Sup Support. port. These three areas receive almost $15 million worth of funding. Over 17 of all money collected is spent in the form of student financial aid. "The average financial aid package for this year's incoming first-year class is $8,370. . . all universities are concerned with access and affordability of higher education," said Todd Hutton, Vice-President for Academic Administration. Plant Operation and Maintenance spends almost $3 million to maintain the grounds Academic Support: Smith Aud.. library, computers Students Services: sports programs.

The largest percentage of that money goes toward general maintenance of the build buildings. ings. "We are one of the top universities, on the Pacific Coast, for the least amount of money spent per foot of property," said Lewis Kanthack, Director of Physical Plant and Maintenance. Auxiliary enterprises actually incur small profits. The Bookstore brings in $110,316 more than its expenditures. The Food Service makes a profit of $183,579. Even Residence Halls Association earns $89,610 after expenses. These profits are then put back into the overall revenue bud budget get and used to fund other areas and programs. "The decision-making process behind the budget has always been complex. Addi Additionally, tionally, we have instituted the no-increase-in-tuition guarantee this year. This agree agreement ment guarantees that incoming Freshmen and transfer student will pay $ 1 6, 400 a year for the next fourfive years of their educa education," tion," said Hardin. Presently, third and fourth year students pay $ 1 4, 900 a year and second year students pay $ 1 5,400. This guar guarantee antee program is unique on the university level. However, Hardin hopes it will be an attractive and successful program. Hardin said, "It is risky for an institution to offer such a guarantee, but we feel we can deal with these risks." Grants fund array of summer studies by Kirsten Olson Staff Writer' With the goal of improving the general quality of education, an in innovative novative undergraduate program grants select students up to $2500 to stay out of the classroom. The Undergraduate Research Grant award allows students to do independent research in various ar areas eas of interest. Senior Greg Pitter, a music major, set the Alfred Lloyd Tennyson poem Ulysses to music for a vocal soloist and a small en ensemble. semble. The grant gave him the time to work on this project and money from the grant paid for the reading and recording sessions. Pitter' s faculty advisor, John Peele, "was especially helpful in the late stages - copying music and setting up the presentation. He also helped to point me in the right di direction rection at the beginning of the project," he said. Pitter insists that the best part of his project is yet to come. His ensemble is scheduled to be presented in the spring. Junior David Kerr, a psychol psychology ogy major, used his grant to learn more about autistic children by test testing ing an intervention that was meant to reduce their anxiety levels. "I had read about the autistic population in textbooks," he explained, "and I only had that knowledge. Working with them gave me a chance to learn more from a different aspect." Kerr applied for the grant be because cause he believed that it would give him research experience that would help in graduate school. He worked with Psychology Professor Meredy Goldbcrg-Edelson and herhusband, gaining a lot of knowledge and in insight sight from them. Kerr encourages anyone to ap apply ply for the Undergraduate Research Grant. He recommends that inter interested ested students begin the application prbcess early. He advises students not to be apprehensive in approach approaching ing faculty. "They, enjoy working with students," he said, "and if they can't be your advisor, they will tell you." The Undergraduate Research Grant program was started in 1989 by Julie Carson, then the Dean of the College of Liberal Arts. The program was intended to give stu students dents the opportunity to do inde independent pendent research outside the con constraints straints of other classes. John Kopowski, the head of the program, sees it as doing what it originally intended. "This is an opportunity for students to dedicate a chunk of time with a faculty sponsor from Willamette or another university," he said.

Of the full grant, $500 of the money is to be used for research purposes, and the remaining $2000 is used for living expenses and as a supplement for income that could have been earned at a summer job. Award winners have to produce a final project and give a presentation to the faculty.

The application process is open to everyone, although sophomores and juniors usually win the awards. Koprowski explained that freshmen usually are not involved in their majors enough to come up with a detailed summer project. Contrary to popular belief, the research projects are not limited to sciences. The 1994 award winners only had one biology project, and many of the projects are in the arts. Koprowski said, "This is really for any aspect of scholarship." Pitter encourages students to attend the various presentations made by the grant recipients. The lengthy application for a grant includes professor recommen recommendations dations and a detailed explanation of the project.

"The Undergraduate Research Grant is indicative of what Willamette val values. ues. It provides an opportunity for higher learning," Koprowski said. The advisors receive a small stipend for their work, but Koprowski sees the experience as the real payment. Kerr agrees. "The reason faculty come to a school like this is to workclosely with students . . . they have chosen their field because they love it, and sharing that subject with students would be a wonderful opportunity," he said.

Depending on who you ask, you will get JLdifferent numbers. Are you asking someone who doesn't know how to define rape? Are you asking an administrator bent on preserving Willamette's pristine image? Campus authorities attitudes towards the problem of rape are well documented and lacking, a situation that must be rectified immediately. Two years ago, a first year student frustrated by the administration's sluggish response to her needs decided to empower herself by holding a public forum calling attention to the problem of rape. She described an administration hesitant to call in the police, preferring to deal with the issue on a campus level. In doing so, they robbed her of her power over her own life, just as her accused rapist had. Since then, campus policies and the faces in key positions have changed. Have the attitudes that value Willamette's public image over a woman's rights also vanished from campus? Do women who fall victim to this crime feel comfortable reporting it, or do they fear further vic victimizations timizations at the hands of University administrators? The campus climate of opinion suggests the latter to be the case. It is important that Willamette University, as a pillar of the S alem community and a respected private college, take immediate steps to rectify this problem. Administrators must make pains not to take choices out of the hands of a woman reporting a rape. If she desires to involve the Salem Police Department, they should be contacted immediately. If any University official in any way attempts to dissuade her from a course of action or make a decision for her, she should immediately go public and ask for that administrator's resignation. She can rest assured that she will have the support of the Collegian in calling for investigations into any such misconduct by a University official. The campus community must endeavor not only to respond properly, but to prevent rape. This entails taking a proactive, educative stance on the issue. Not only do women need to be reminded of their rights and informed as to what exactly constitutes rape and how to report it, but men need to be educated so as to prevent this crime from happening. Programs in campus residences and campus wide events that foster frank and honest discussions about sex and mutual consent as a necessary prerequisite for sex would be an excellent start. However, peers educating peers is a far more effective method. Confront men making misogynis misogynis-tic tic jokes about the atmosphere their attitudes create; challenge anyone who claims that "No" does not always mean no.

Nearly everyone on campus thinks it would be a shame if the 87 yearold marchingcompetition were to end. Nonetheless, it sucks.

Every year the theater department's dance con concert cert showcases a wide range of tal talent ent from the playful to the down downright right professional. So why is it so bad? The answer lies in the work of a little-known group called the Glee Rules Com Committee. mittee. Composed of one represen representative tative from each class and one fresh freshman man manager, this committee is re responsible sponsible for determining the rules and penalties for any violations which they have found. Most of the rules are designed to keep the contest fair. Points are deducted forclasses which turn their songs in late or who practice for longer than the predetermined time. Raids of other classes' equipment From the Editorial Board Ryan Teague Deckwith that last longer than five minutes or are in poor taste are similarly penal penalized. ized. Other rules were made to be broken. The prohibition of buttons and props and anything other than "official attire" is routinely violated by senior classes bent on losing. Limitations on the number of hand slaps, vocalization and hand and body movements are so constrain constraining ing that some classes opt for the deduction for stylistic reasons. Those classes which do break the rules restricting movement on stage prove that those archaic regu regulations lations deserve to be buried along with the beanies from the 1909 se senior nior class and the requirement that only love songs be played when the classes march to their seats. The problem with these rules as a whole, however, is that they set up a false sense of rebellion. A senior class determined to lose with style need only raise their elbows and put on a button to feel like James Dean. If the Rules Committee would really like to revitalize Glee, they should begin by axing all those rules which have no importance or which unnecessarily constrict the move movements ments of those on stage. If the seniors, or any other class, want to lose, make 'em sweat for it. Give heavy deductions for nudity on stage.

Please recycle. f i n pinion October 27, 1995 Tlie Collegian Alienated from own paradigm I've been trying to write on a foggy sense I've had for weeks. It has something to do with the rhetoric I've been hearing recently, including neo-Marxist, feminist and anarchist rhetoric. But nothing dainty or "politically correct." Things no popular politician in America today would talk about. I don't know politics, but I do know language. I've been hearing real words about real things spoken by real people: talking about things they cared about, things necessary to them. Rhetoric of economic de decentralization, centralization, "social capital," pro progressive gressive thought; railing against oppression, enforced inequality, alienation. I have wondered why these things angered me (and it was be because cause I, too, distrust the "system" big and brotherly above us) but only vaguely. I wondered why I could not share the original anger, the original outrage, at the oppression and inequality and economic totali totalitarianism. tarianism. It ends up, if you buy the story, that I was feeling alienated. I am a heterosexual white Anglo-Saxon male from a middle middle-class class capitalist Christian American background and as such I represent the source of much of the oppres sion I've been talking about. The communities around me from which I hear of this oppression are ones with which I have no real identity: Wayfaring Familiar Robert O. Brown the gay and lesbian community, the African-American community, the poor community, the women's com community, munity, the Jewish community. I am no part of any of these commu communities. nities. I'm part of the mainstream -why should I feel alienated? The structure of political and social power supports people who out outwardly wardly resemble me. If anything, the people in the previously listed communities should feel "alienated" by the existing power structures. But the Marxist theory of alien alienation ation describes what I've been feel feeling ing and explains why I, the outward exemplar of America' s core - a white man with the right attitudes, with a promising economic future - why I might feel vague anger or distrust towards the same system which sup supports ports my existence and future gains. That system, the capitalist, ethno ethnocentric, centric, sexist, stranglingly conser conservative vative political and social structure, would have me believe its rhetoric: that my family imbued in me the "right" (heterosexual, misogynist, racist, capitalist, nationalistic) val values; ues; that those values are eternal; and that I should be skeptical, if not intolerant, of others' values. But I'm skeptical instead, and becoming damn near intolerant, of straight middle-class white Ameri American can male society andpolitics. Seem Seemingly ingly skeptical of my own identity. What do I do, alone and hiding myself from myself? I do not do what everyone else does, perhaps on principle: I do not watch TV and feel cozy. I go slowly, tentatively, seeking others who might share my beliefs. We are told this is our right as Americans, but who listens? Who knows whether it's true? I reach out and tap the nearest shoulder and whisper a question: are you, too, a poet? Lover of lan language? guage? Of women as equals? Of peace? Lover of experience and of growth? Will you ignore me, or respond with loathing, or even vio violence? lence? What am I seeking as I slowly step for the first time from a shell that can no longer contain me? I'm looking for a goddamn tribe, a place to belong, a place just to keep me alive. Old political order prevents new parties Newt Gingrich called third parties a "fantasy of delu delusion." sion."

The cards are stacked against outsiders, stacked by laws over which you and I have much control. It's amazing that people like Pete Wilson could claim we are "well served by a two-party system."

Conflict of interest perpetuates Bosnian crisis It is difficult to engage in a conversation on global issues of any subject and not run across the word "Bosnia." No matter what the alignment of the speaker is (Bosnian, Serbian, Croatian or otherwise), the main point of contention is: why is this war not ending? War! There is perhaps no other single more powerful event that dominates society than war. (It's true! Bill Duvall of History will tell you so.) Large sections of society, however, say "No!" For instance, consider the high profile Woodstock and "Woodstock revisited" clans who say "Make love not war!" (Mind you, they don't mean the friend friendship ship and roses kind of love.) The official Western line has been -we don't want to get involved physically: wc only want a peaceful end through diplo diplomatic matic efforts. Why then is peace so elu elusive? sive?

But was Bill Clinton's flexing of muscles against Chi Chinese nese interests by breaking spe special cial agreements (to not allow Taiwan's president into the U.S. even on unofficial visits) spine spineless? less? ;V;;:r Furthermore, Great Britain and France have also failed to show "spineless" behavior in other matters that require con considerable siderable grit. John Major's defi defiant ant attitude in sinking the Shell oil rig off Northern England re regardless gardless of the environmental fallout and Jacques Chirac's hard-line decision to continue with nuclear testing I5,000miles from France are just two recent examples. Meanwhile, not once has there been a sincere effort to halt the war. When we ask why, the Urii!.ed Nations High Commis Commission sion for Refugees comes to mi nd.

For a long time the The Travelers' Tale YameenA. AH UNHCR has wanted to act as a sovereign nation, building refu refugee gee shelters everywhere, and then administering them as a potentate. The problem? The UNHCR is not a country. It can only build on foreign soil, and most of the developed nations of the world do not allow it to build any refugee shelters. Some of the poorer nations (not that they want to but are most probably bullied into it) end up providing the refugee shelters. As if they did not have their own populace teeming with malnour ished, desti destitute tute children and adults to feed and look after.

Earlier this week, I was convinced the alarm was coming from else elsewhere where in the apartment building.

News 6 The Collegian October 27, 1995 Visiting professor tracks religious secularization by Andrew Bernhard Editor A small crowd gathered to hear Jeffrey K. Madden speak in Cone Chapel Monday. The University of Virginia Professor of Sociology dis discussed cussed what has caused many schol scholars ars to look "Beyond the Death of Secularization." Secularization is the process by which the institutions of society arc "removed from ecclesiastical au authority." thority." It may have begun to some degree with the Protestant ref reformation, ormation, Haddcn explained, but it really came to full force during the Enl ightenment and in later 1 9th cen century tury social philosophy. The secular paradigm celebrates the triumph of reason over faith. Those who have supported it in the past, Hadden said, have contended that "religion is incompatible with the modern world that has outgrown its illusions." Sigmund Freud and Karl Marx, for example believed that religion was harmful and must be left behind. The long accepted view that with the secularization of society one must now deal with an expanding amount of theoreti cal and empirical evidence chal challenges lenges this basic assumption. Hadden is not ready to depart completely from the secular para paradigm, digm, but he agrees with Steve Warner that "we are wit witnessing nessing a new paradigm in the soci sociology ology of religion." It is an "intellec "intellectual tual crisis" which calls for a reas reassessment sessment of the evidence, which challenges long basic assumptions in the sociology of religion. Enlightenment thinkers once postulated that religion grew out of a need to provide an explanation of this world and the next. They felt reason liberated humanity from blind faith, people would outgrow religion. Some people, however, suggest that religious ideas are con constantly stantly being renewed. Others sug- gest that religion will not die out because it is driven by competition. The secular paradigm of religion must struggle with a rapidly grow growing ing amount of empirical evidence which docs not support the idea that secularization brings a decline in religion. A study of the attendance in religious institutions in America revealed that during periods of in intense tense secularization, church atten attendance dance has been steadily increased. Although mainline Protestant de denominations nominations have declined in America, other various groups have begun to emerge. Hadden cited five global reli religious gious trends which demonstrate how religion is still strong. Fundamen Fundamentalisms talisms have appeared around the globe, despite secularization. There is also an increasing amount of religious nationalism glo globally, bally, Hadden said. Unfortunately, he said, "the western press usually describes it in terms of ethnic rather than religious struggles." He feels that religious disputes are the root of controversies such as in Pales Palestine, tine, Yugoslavia and Ireland.The effects of contemporary religion in South America are also felt. Lib Liberation eration theology has taken ahold since it was " m born out of the Vatican II conference. Charis Charismatic matic move movements ments are also spreading rapidly in South America, giv giving ing Protes Protestantism tantism an inroad into long Roman Catholic territory. Hadden estimates that within 15 years, Brazil will become a Protestant nation. Other nations in South America are likely to follow, causing a change which "will rival the Protestant reforma reformation tion in Europe." The final example Hadden used was the enormous revival in former Communist nations. For 70 years, a vigorous assault on religion and at attempt tempt to exterminate it has failed. Despite the legacy of atheism and secularism, "religion is literally ex exploding ploding everywhere," said Hadden n .. . nengion is literally exploding everywhere," -Jeffrey K. Hadden, Professor of Sociology ACLU president defends pornography by Sarah Zollner Contributor As both the first woman and the youngest person to be elected president of the American Civil Liber Liberties ties Union (ACLU), Nadine Strossen has broken many trends. Sponsored by the Educational Programs Com Committee mittee (EPC), Strossen addressed members of the Willamette community Monday night in Smith Au Auditorium. ditorium. Most of her lecture covered the main ideas in her first trade press book, Defending Pornography: Free Speech, Sex and the Fight for Women 's Rights. Strossen began her lecture by discussing her dis discomfort comfort with the title of her book, which was chosen by the publishers. Strossen noted that she was uncomfortable with the use of the word "pornography" in the title due to the stigmatized nature of the word. While she cited a denotative definition of pornography as expres expression sion that is intended to be sexually arousing or provocative, she added that pornography often con connotes notes whatever an individual doesn't like. She explained, "What turns me on is erotica erotica-what what turns you on is pornography." Strossen wrote her book in response to the branch of feminist activism that asserts that pornography is degrading to women and encourages violence toward women. "I speak on behalf of women who are devoted to women's safety . . . Our view is that censoring pornography would actually do more harm than good for women's rights and women's dignity," Strossen said. She introduced two major arguments against the censorship of pornography: censorship is a violation of the right to free speech, and that censoring sexual expression undermines the gender equality movement. Strossen asserted that the government must never censor expression merely because a majority of the community dislikes the message. Counter speech is an appropriate response to disturbing expression, she said, rather than censorship. Much of Strossen' s book is a rebuttal to the movement led mainly by Catherine McKinnon and Andrea Dworkin, who are feminists that oppose pornography and encourage censorship of pornog pornography raphy in order to advance gender equality. Strossen said she agrees with their underlying premise: "We live in a gender discriminating soci society ety where women are second-class citizens," Strossen said. However, she rejects their conclusions. "In my view, you don't hand over a power to censor precisely because you can predict that the power will be used to the disadvantage of women," she said. Strossen said that historically, similar laws have disproportionately disadvantaged the groups they aimed to protect. In this particular situation, Strossen believes that the patriarchal system would undermine the women's rights movement if given the power to censor. L Nadine Strossen, president of the American Civil Liberties Union discusses the relationship between feminism and pornography. In addition, Strossen is concerned that it is too difficult to separate "obscene" sexual expression from acceptable sexual expression. She quoted US Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart's famous explanation of hard-core pornography: "I cannot now define it, but I know it when I see it." "What one feminist sees as a degrading image, another feminist will see as an empowering image," Strossen explained. Strossen noted that in 1992 the Canadian Su Supreme preme Court accepted McKinnon and Dworkin's definition of criminally prosecutable obscenity as sexual expression that degrades women. However, Dworkin's own books were some of the first to be censored in Canada. None of this surprises Strossen, who said, "It is not surprising that (the power to censor) is wielded in ways that are not friendly to feminists." Another McKinnon and Dworkin idea that Strossen combats is the idea that women who pose for sexually explicit materials are beaten, abused and harassed. She said that women have been abused in virtually every career field, but that does not justify abolishing the industry. "Making something illegal doesn't make it go away," she said. McKinnon and Dworkin also assert that there is no voluntary participation in pornography for women. They believe that even a women who signs a contract has been exploited. Strossen said she finds that idea to be very degrading to women; it reduces women to children who can only be victims and cannot make decisions for themselves. Strossen closed her lecture with the following quote from an ACLU brief in the Indianapolis case: "Any law that treats women like children and men like satyrs is hardly a step forward in gender equality." Birnbaum walks misdirected 500 mile pilgrimage by Melissa Prichard Staff Writer Adele Birnbaum, Professor of English, recounted her summer pil pilgrimage grimage to Santiago de Compostela, Spain to follow in the footsteps of Chaucer's Canterbury. Tales char character acter the Wife of Bath at the Oct. 19 Faculty Colloquium. The Wife of Bath supposedly took this same trip to Santiago six hundred years ago. Birnbaum described pilgrim pilgrimages ages as a way for Catholics to be closer to a holy person. Catholics would repeat a journey completed by a well-known religious person and, therefore, follow in their foot footprints prints and develop a connection with that person. "Pilgrimages were viewed by Catholics as not just go going ing to a place, but a place to meet a person," said Birnbaum. During the Middle Ages, all Catholics were required to undergo pilgrimages to Jerusalem, Rome and Santiago. However, pilgrimages became less common with the rise of Protestant Protestantism ism and its idea that God is every where and there are no sacred places. Before these Protestant ideas were widely accepted, Birnbaum said, thousands of Catholics par participated ticipated in pilgrimages. The pil pilgrimage grimage to Santiago de Compostela, Spain was a particularly common trip because Santiago was the burial place of the Apostle James. The exact reason why the Wife of Bath took several pilgrimages during her life was not known. Birnbaum said the Wife of Bath may have made more than the usual amount of pil pilgrimages grimages because she felt guilty, wanted to travel and meet people or as a business venture. "It would make sense that the Wife of Bath, as a cloth merchant, would sell cloth in the open air markets while she was in Spain," said Birnbaum. Birnbaum began her pilgrim pilgrimage age in Toulouse, France and fol followed lowed the French Road into Santiago, Spain. "I never asked if this way was the right or only road," said Birnbaum. Five hundred miles on foot and four weeks later, Birnbaum discovered she was not on the same road the Wife of Bath had taken in 1375. Upon reaching Santiago de Compostela, Birnbaum discovered there were actually eight routes pilgrims took to Santiago. She realized after her host fam family ily took her to a port on the Coast of Spain that the Wife of Bath prob probably ably took the English route to Santiago, not the French Road that Birnbaum had just completed. Birnbaum said, "Everything clicked when I saw the port and heard pil pilgrims grims from England had entered there on the way to Santiago," said Birnbaum. "It would have made more sense for the Wife of Bath to take the sea route, instead of the route from France, especially since the Hundred Years War was being fought during this time in Europe (1375). The sea route would have also only taken three days and been more practical." Birnbaum concluded by saying these many routes into Santiago showed that it was not just the end of the road, but the center of possibilities.

Those who attended last week's convocation were treated to an en enjoyable joyable and thought provoking hour. A troupe of four from The Cov Covenant enant Players, an international rep repertory ertory theater company, performed four short plays centered around peace and applying religion and morality to everyday life. The first play, "Ears to Hear," was set at lunch time on a park bench . A man is sitting reading a paper. Another man sits down be beside side him and asks him, "Are you my brother?" The first man tries to el ude this apparently insane man, but is caught in a conversation with him. As they talk, the "crazy" man helps the first man come to realize that he should be the first to bridge the gap between himself and his estranged brother. The next play was "That Was No Lady, That Was My Wife." It is set in a circus dressing tent , where two clowns are dressing. A woman enters, the new owner of the circus, and tells them that their act is stupid and outdated. She wants them to change their act to appeal to an adult audience. One of the clowns refuses to perform a risque routine, and the owner offers to make him the high highest est paid clown ever, but he cannot go against his moral beliefs, so he quits. The third play, "The Fear of Total Risk," is centered around one character: a young German woman, Inga. She is caught in the conflict of the Second World War. Inga loves her country, but she is torn by the inhumanities and lies of the govern government. ment. The group finished the perfor performance mance with a two man play entitled "The Proxy." A man stands on the edge of an elevated crossway in Los Angeles, ready to jump to his death below. Another man happens by, apparently quite busy. He sees the suicidal man and tries to talk him out of committing suicide. When nothing else works, he offers him himself self in place of the suicidal man. SenaTeReixm This week' s Senate meeting was marked by the passage of a Senate Bill to amend the ASWU Constitu Constitution tion which will soon be put to stu student dent vote. The bill addresses the problem faced last year regarding write-in candidates. It does so by having the highest number of votes declared winner. Write-in candidates will still be considered, in all of the elections, but the final victor does not have to have won the majority of the votes in order to be declared winner. Rumors have been floating about regarding the possibility of no student parking on campus in future years. , What would most likely happen would be future students would never be allowed to park anywhere but the Kaneko and Salem Hospital parking let.

The proposed changes would eliminate the BS degree, and combine that with the B A into a sort of "super BA," as Palmateer calls it.

Four years ago when you entered college you thought this day would never ar arrive; rive; but here it is in full array. "So, what arc your plans after graduating from Willamette?" This question can be heard from the beginning of most students' jun junior ior year. Yet the answer is seldom in concrete detail even on that mid mid-May May afternoon we call gradu- ation. For more people than one might think the ultimate an answer swer to that overwhelming question turns into a job or career at Willamette. Approxi mately 25 Willamette gradu- ates are known to work on campus. Teresa Hudkins, Director of Ad Admissions, missions, came to Willamette as a freshman in 1965. Graduating in 1969 with dreams of teaching, she began work in the Admissions Of Office. fice. It was the first year W.U. hired an Admission Counselor just out of school and it seemed to be a trend in many of the small colleges in the Pacific Northwest. A two-year com commitment mitment of working in the Admis Admissions sions Office allowed Hudkins to work towards her teaching certifi certificate cate at the same time. F ollowing the two year contract, Hudkins began teaching school but found the expe experience rience made her appreciate the people at Willamette a great deal. Needless to say when she sought a Smithro encourages independence by Gwen Davis Staff Writer When Disabilities Services Co Coordinator ordinator Robin Smithro first came to Willamette as a student in 1990, she was one of a group of six dis disabled abled students on campus. Since then the program has expanded tre tremendously, mendously, and this year sixty-eight students are registered with Dis Disabilities abilities Services. The office pro provides vides many different services to accommodate each individual's needs.

She felt that she had a good sense of how to provide services for students from her work as an intern for the office and her own experi experiences ences as a disabled student on cam campus. pus. She said that she was partially attracted to Willamette because she is a very independent person and was used to helping herself. "I was expected to do a lot on my own," Smithro said, recognizing that other students might be initially more timid. Some are shy about talking with their professors about accommo accommodating dating their unique needs. How However, ever, her response is, "You have to have the guts to ask." In the past, Disabilities Services was able to concentrate more time per student and thus was, in Smithro' s opinion, "much more per personal." sonal." She believes that the grow- teaching position, a position in the Admissions Office "just happened to be open," she says. She took the job, "never dream dreaming ing of being here in 1995." One of the most fun aspects of her job is reconnecting with her own class classmates. mates. She knew the parents of some current prospective students an en entire tire generation ago and now she sees them as "accomplished people in their communities." On the other end of the spec spectrum trum Ryan Scott, Director of An Annual nual Giving in the University Rela Relations tions Office, graduated only a year and a half ago.

Ac According cording to Scott, his job is "differ "different ent then anything I've ever done before and allows me to explore areas (of the university) you don't realize are there."

And although he was ing number of disabled students who attend Willamette is a result of changing attitudes, both of Wil Willamette lamette and of the students them themselves. selves. Also, many students may not realize what is included in the designation "disabled," and never realized that problems such as a learning disability can qualify them for some extra help, such as extra time to take a test or complete an assignment. To receive help from Disability Services, a student must talk to Smithro. If the student has been tested before, then they can bring in the documentation to show in what areas they need help. If the student has never been tested before, then they can receive services immedi immediately ately on the condition that they be tested. However, for those who qualify, there are many resources available.

Scott also noted that "half of this office (University Relations) are Willamette graduates." Accord According ing to Carol Black-Rossow, Direc Director tor of Human Resources, there is a "tendency to recognize the fact they are alums" during the hiring pro process cess but it is her job to make sure "we don't do it in a discriminating way." She believes there are "a lot of different factors that create the phenomenon of people not want wanting ing to end their W.U. experience as students." One of these factors is that people who attend school here feel comfortable here and therefore they "fare well by virtue of their first-hand er knowledge of this campus." Her experience also has shown that hiring W.U. alum alumnae nae allows a bond to form between students, faculty and staff as a result of sharing the undergraduate experience here. Jill Schmid notes this exact rea reason son as one of the reasons she en enjoys joys teaching here. Schmid, In Instructor structor of Rhetoric and Media Studies, graduated from W.U. in 1988 with a major in Speech Com Communications. munications. She always knew she wanted to teach and after three years of working at KIRO Broad Broadcasting casting in Seattle she began her graduate studies at the University of Washington. This is her first teaching job and she does admit that the first couple of weeks it was "hard not to think about when I was here." After getting used to the fact she had been gone for nine years, she feels like she's home. Robin Smithro, Disabilities Coordinator, strives to use her own personal experience as a student receiving support from Disability Services to assist and encourage others. accommodations. Students with learning as well as physical disabili disabilities ties often utilize the office's ser services. vices. Smithro has many goals for the office. She would like to print a handbook for faculty and students that outlines specific responsibili responsibilities ties and makes clear exactly what the program does, expecting that it will be received positively. "The professors are great to work with," said Smithro. Reflections of Light New Unique Salem Gift Shop 2765 Commercial St. SE Across the street from Carrows Restaurant, behind Key Bank!

This trip was completely paid for by TIU in honor of the anniver anniversary, sary, and they didn't do it halfway. The students had their own hotel rooms, and $140 for food. The trip was the climax of two months of preparation that started ,1:- I ; M " . .:- J Ox X A float exhibited in the Kawagoe festival, at which notables such as the former mayor of Salem and jerry Hudson were in attendance. way back during the first week of school with the auditions for the group, Willamette Singers, and nine extra people who together made up the Japanese Touring Choir. The auditions were very stress stressful, ful, says sophomore Marika Paez. They were very competitive, due in large part to the large number of people who wanted to take this trip. They included singing not only straight jazz pieces, but also some something thing called scat, which is basically improvisation with the voice. Once this stressful week was out of the way, preparing the se selected lected choir for the trip started. They needed to be able to know a pro program gram of about 45 minutes in a very short period of time. But, not only did they need to know the program, they needed to learn perform this program in front of people who would expect them to be very, very good. This was accomplished in twelve rehearsals, during which they learned twelve songs. These songs ranged from classical to pure jazz. One of the songs they learned was Beethoven's ninth symphony, which is a very important piece in Japanese society. Beethoven's ninth was popularized in the movie Sister Act 2. In the film, it was done both classically and as a rap, and this style was mimicked by the Wil Willamette lamette group. They also sang a variety of other American songs. They sang one tra traditional ditional Japanese song, which they learned and performed with a group from TIU in Japan. They sang the alma matter of TIU, and the Billy Joel classic For the Longest Time. According to Paez, there was "a lot of pressure for everybody to get all this music under our belts, and under our voices." And by the time they left, they had. There were three majorpurposes for going on this trip. The first was to celebrate and strengthen the rela relationship tionship between TIU and Wil Willamette. lamette. The second was to cel celebrate ebrate and strengthen the bond be between tween Salem and its Japanese Sister City, Kowagoe. Finally, this trip helped establish a new alliance with Senzogakuen Junior College in Uozu. This program will involve 40 Japanese students coming to Wil Willamette lamette for six weeks for an inten intensive sive study of English, Music and American History.

One of the concerns of the program currently is the lack of on-campus housing available. Homestays may be worked out to overcome this. The students left at 1:30 p.m. Friday afternoon, and arrived in Japan to a gorgeous sunset. They took a bus through Tokyo to Mizuhodai, where they spent most of their nights in Japan. The stu students dents noticed many differences in the culture there. One of the oddest things noticed was the large num number ber of vending machines. They were everywhere, and sold everything, from beer to fruit juice, soda and bottles of wine. They went to the Kawagoe Fes tival, which is a sort of Harvest Festival. People were swarming and vendors were selling. The singers were seated in a grandstand, and from there had a great view of the parade. Paez tells of standing on a street corner, watching as five floats were stopped, all trying to out drum the others. As they climaxed, she re recalls calls people swarming around her, and the center of the intersection turning into something which closely resembled a mosh pit. Now that the trip is over, the group will be finished. The twelve Willamette Singers will continue to perform as a group, but the21 sing singers ers who have become so close over the time they have spent together will perform only once more to together gether on November 21.

Got on the plane at 1:30 p.m. Port Portland land time for a 10 hour flight, arrived in Tokyo at 3:30 p.m. Saturday, Japan time. After another three hours on the bus, we arrived at the hotel in Mizuhodai. We walked around for a bit trying to find food: scared to try anything new, and unable to communicate with anyone. And finally, after 23 hours of excitement, we slept. Sunday, October 15 We basically shopped around the hotel in the morning. In the afternoon, we got on The Willamette Singers perform at the Imperial Hotel for the 800 delegates in attendance. a train to Kawagoe, Salem's sister city, to go to the Harvest Festival there. We were herded through thousands of people to a special viewing booth which we shared with the Mayor of Salem and his wife, the mayor of Kawagoe and his wife, and many others. We watched large wagons with very ornate house-type structures on them and dancers with masks and costumes. Monday, October 16 Today was our first concert of the trip. We took four trains (about four hours) in the morning to a town called Uozu. We were treated like stars! ! We sang with their womens' choir on two of our songs and did our full performance in one of the most beautiful auditoriums I have ever seen. We stayed in homestays and were taken such good care of! Tuesday, October 17 We had breakfast at our homestays and returned to the school with three times as many gifts as we left with. Four more trains back to hotel in Mizuhodai. I went with a group of eleven people and took two trains and the sub subway way into downtown Tokyo, very difficult considering that everything was written in congi to Ropponggi. Half of the people that we saw were not Japanese. We went to the Hard Rock Cafe and had a drink, a "Hurricane" (it came in a souvenir glass) at the bar. Then we walked up the street to the Tokyo tower and, like the tourists we were, took pictures. We went back to the hotel, sat in the hot tub for a while and went to bed. Wednesday, October 18 Got to sleep in this morning. We piled onto a bus, the usual, and drove to TIU. We performed for 30 minutes in the Three Arts Festival. We were thrown a party after afterwards wards with the President of TIU and the students from the other groups. We went back to the hotel and went in search of a Karaoke bar. As there were no bars near, we found a Karaoke studio and then met a Japanese college student, Erika, who took us to a vending machine where we could find beer. I personally was not in the mood for Karaoke, so I went back to the hotel with the Japanese girl and a few others. We sat in the hot tub and talked for a while, then went to bed. Thursday, October 19 We got on a bus at 10 a.m. to go to the Imperial Hotel, one of the nicest in Japan for a performance. It was beautiful ! ! We all did lots of shopping there in our free time. Later we did a 15 minute performance in front of 800 VERY important men and 11 , In, J women including President Hudson. After the performance, we mingled a bit with the dignitaries and then went to our own party. Friday, October 20 As usual, we all shopped in the morning. Then we took a bus to Kawagoe and sang on the seventh floor of a shopping mall for the KawagoeSalem sistercity celebration. There was a small party for us afterwaids and then we all went back to the hotel. Most people went to Karaoke, but Will and I went with Erika and a few of her friends to the Tokyo bay area. We stayed out until 4 a.m. and had such a great time. Saturday, October 21 Woke up early so that we could get packed and go. We drove to the Natanshi sacred temple and spent a few minutes there soaking in the beauty and culture of it. On the plane at 5:30 p.m. for a 7 12 hr flight (shorter than the flight there because of tail winds). I spent the time looking back at all of the experiences that we had. I think that most of us agreed that we had had an excellent trip, but were ready to fly home to our friends, family and the work we had to make up because of the week we had missed from school. 1 I 1B.1I - I 1 Now you can have two of the most recognized rod accepted credit cards In the wortd-Vlsa and MasterCards credit cards.ln your name."

West said "we have discussions and de debates bates over the issues, but we still have a lot in common." Co-Fresident Clay Hill said that membership in College Republicans has been on the rise because "our generation has grown up hearing about the deficit. We can identify with fiscal conservatism. The Re Republican publican party introduced the Bal Balanced anced Budget Amendment, and col college lege students can relate to this. We work hard for our money over the summer, and don't have much money to spend while in school." The main goal of the College Republicans is to let the Willamette Community know that the club is not a radical right wing organiza organization. tion. The group is diverse in their activity in the group, and the levels of conservatism vary. The club is also interested in becoming more involved on a grassroots level.

As Hill said, "freedom is increased in proportion to how much government is decreased." Involvement in Campus Repub Republicans licans has led to student internships off campus.

WillAMETTE Progressive UNiON QROUp SEEks TO UNITE COMMON Interests, pROvldE resources. by Travis Brouwer Staff Writer When Rush Limbaugh launches into a tirade on the left-wing politics of "wacko environmentalists," "feminazis" or "militant homosexuals," he's probably speaking of the type of people that the Willamette Progres Progressive sive Union attracts. Coming from Limbaugh, though, these pejorative labels would prob probably ably be construed as compliments by Union members. Although James Hadley, the Willamette Progressive Union's chairperson, says that "you'll get as many different definitions as there are progressives," Hadley defines a progressive as someone "who is left of center on the political spectrum." Though he be believes lieves that most of the Union's members would fall into the "Jesse Jackson wing" of the Democratic Party, there are some people who would be considered left of this. "We do have a number of people who are real radicals," Hadley said. Hadley would be a good example of this radicalism. He describes himself as a anarchist socialist or libertariansocialist, the latter of which really isn't the contradiction that it may appear to be. Hadley says the Willamette Progressive Union (WPU) was formed last year as a way to "promote unity among progressives" and pro provide vide "strength through solidarity" to some of the left-leaning groups on campus. These include the Willamette Community for Choice, the Les Lesbian, bian, Gay, Bisexual Alliance (LGBA) and Stu Students dents Against Rape Together (StART). Andria Cronick, coordinator of Students Against Rape Together and a member of WPU, also commented on WPU as an alliance of groups on campus. "At its conception, WPU was meant to serve as an alliance of progressive groups on campus, not to be just another group doing its own activi activities. ties. The purpose of putting an emphasis on the alliance aspect is to provide a progressive net network work while allowing people to maintain the sepa separate rate focuses of the groups with which they're involved." Cronick feels that her group, StART, could benefit from the opportunity to get information and feedback from others who are sympathetic to their cause. The WPU is currently working on several projects. One of these is to provide a progressive news rack in the Bistro. This would include such radical publications as The Socialist and The Industrial Worker and also some that are more moderate, such as The Nation and Utne Reader. This newsrack would allow students to read information and opinions that are often ignored in the mainstream media. The group would also like to do an envi environmental ronmental and social audit of Bon Appetit, the food service that runs Goudy Commons. Hadley feels the Willamette campus is "radically uninformed and radically moder moderate. ate. There are a good number of leftists, though. They just feel alienated from the rest of the population and really have no clue what to do, and I'm one of them." In order to combat the uninformed na nature ture of some students, the Union seeks to bring speakers to campus to express leftist viewpoints. In September,'the Union brought J. Quinn Brisben, the 1992 Socialist Party presiden presidential tial candidate, to speak on campus. Later in the year they hope to bring Jeannie Burg Rimple to campus. Rimple is involved with the Living Wage Coalition, which is at attempting tempting to involve people in an initiative campaign to raise the minimum wage. At this point the Progressive Union is still rather small. When formed last year, the group had about 20 people at most of its meetings, but this year that number has fallen to about five. Hadley hopes that more people will become involved as the Union becomes more visible. The Progressive Union meets twice a week. On Wednesday nights, the group holds an official meeting from 7:30 - 8:30 p.m. in Smullin314. The following night the WPU has a cof coffee fee hour at the same time. This takes place in the Bistro, and is put on in conjunction with members of Willamette Community for Choice.

That's why I was more than a little worried when I heard he was slated to direct Get Shorty. Adapted from the Elmore Leonard novel, Get Shorty proves to be one of this fall's first delights, a triumph for both director and cast. Get Shorty is an engaging sat satirecrime irecrime film that crosses the lines somewhere between Quentin Tarantino's Pulp Fiction and Rob Robert ert Airman's The Player.

The Cascade Microbrewery and Brewpub, located southwest of the airport on Madrona, is now spread spreading ing the gospel. As one of the faith faithful, ful, I, along with some other gentle pilgrims, made the trek. We came away truly enlightened. At the bar (which I'll try not to refer to as the altar) there are 40 operating beer taps at any one time. Thirty-eight of these are microbrews! Darn near Uncle Earl makes Friday the 13th performance on campus Rimer os-f "You guys were so loud that the vibrations rattled the master power plugs out of the main amp in the back room," marveled Bistro man manager ager Kelly Rudd to Uncle Earl keyboardist David Fleschner after the band's October 13th perfor performance mance in the campus coffee cave. Judging from the audible ringing in the audience's ears and the boogie in their feet, the evening's groggy beginnings were readily exorcised as the band and audience alike got into Uncle Earl's folksy groove. Presidents of the The Presidents of the United States of America's aptly titled first album, "The Presidents of the United States of America," is easily one of the most disconcerting, rockin, fun, wacky, Weezer-esque album that I have found for only P7 stead they are whisked along by a cast of stars and a handful of char character acter actors which smoothly lay glide this brilliant story. Hollywood's comeback king, John Travolta, plays Chili Palmer, a Miami loan shark heading to Los Angeles to collect an overdue gam gambling bling debt from B-movie producer Harry Zimm, played by Gene Hack Hack-man. man. Instead of collecting the debt, Chili pitches his idea for a movie to Zimm, and the two strike up an instantaneous relationship. The plot swings into gear when Delroy Lindo, a limousine-driving drug dealer, starts to sink his teeth into Hackman for another $200,000 debt. Instead of collecting, Lindo decides that he wants to get his hands into the movie business as well. Danny DeVito plays Martin Weir, an assholeish, self absorbed, big name actor who happens to be Hackman and Travolta' s first choice to play the lead in their film. Round Rounding ing out the cast is Rene Russo, who plays a B-movie star and ex-wife to every microbrewery in Oregon is represented by at least one tap, and ' usually more. Many seldom seen tiny breweries, such as the Bandon Brewing Co., appear behind the bar, as well as a fine selection of Wash Washington ington beers. To top it off, they offer Guinness on tap- a divine end ending ing to an awe inspiring row of beers. It is actually a little bit intimidating being confronted with so many choices, but somehow, people muddle through. - There are a lot of little things, besides the beer, that make the Cas Cascade cade Brewpub worth visiting, but at the same time, it has a few major problems. The staff were very friendly, and the barkeep that served us seemed knowledgeable about his As with the band's opening set for the Daddies in Cat Cavern the previous week, it took the students' standard Mr. Hudson to get the crowd off its arses and onto the dance floor. "This next song is a love song about a certain silver haired guy. He' s is like a God to me," confessed guitarist Mark Jackson as Uncle Earl launched into their tribute to President Jerry Hudson. "I love you Mr. Hudson," a re reserved served first line to the chorus, quickly gave way to the traditional wording, as the band members and audience alike joined voices to cheer "So fuck you Mr. Hudsonbecause that is all I have to say !" Can we get these guys to play this year's com United States show promise in their first effort $8.99. The Presidents are best known for their hit "Lump," but their album has much more to offer than one catchy chorus. None of the other songs on the album seem to have the high level of production employed in making "Lump," but this works to the album's benefit. One of the most endearing quali qualities ties of this CD is its wacky low low-production production feel that elicits thoughts of a group of college students each trying to one-up the other with the DeVito, Russo wants a piece of the action in producing and of Travolta. An uncredited extended cameo by Bette Midler adds for some humor humorous ous moments in the film. Get Shorty contains many twists and turns, not all of which are pre predictable, dictable, creating a finely oiled and well thought-out storyline that de delights lights from beginning to end. Mid Midway way through the film you'll catch yourself realizing the gangsters in the movie start acting like Holly Hollywood wood players, and the Hollywood players start acting like gangsters. Travolta gives another fine per performance formance as a gangster. In Pulp Fiction, Travolta played a doped doped-out out hitman interested only in living the 'life.' In Get Shorty Travolta has taken his gangster role and made him wiser, more goal-oriented and with a better haircut. One of the joy s of Get Shorty is watching how Travolta easily passes his way through the story enhanc enhancing ing the other actor's characters with without out taking the spotlight off himself. Lindo, who just put out a skilled product. Twenty-ounce imperial pints are served, and the free pea peanuts nuts at the bar are a nice touch. The menu looked good with basic bar food, burgers and sandwiches and the appetizers sounded very tantilizing. Unfortunately, I was economizing, and had decided to cut food out of the budget. The decor of this place gets an annoying noying in a hurry. A firehouse motif is used in the entire brewpub; there are old fire trucks parked inside, and hoses hanging from the cathe cathedral dral ceilings. The brewing kettle (not yet operational) is in full view from the bar- this is good. But over overall, all, as fellow pilgrim and Portland microbrew "expert" Steve Johnson said, "it looks like Red Robin-with mencement ceremony? Another Willamette favorite, "My Professor's Daughter," snatched the audience from its la latent tent late night lethargy and kept the event blowing on into the band's last song on the night, "Egg Rat." This amalgamation of funky fool fooling ing around found Aaron Miller's bass guitar working hard on the audience, while the curse of bands everywhere plagued Tracy Prichard as his vocals got muddled in the mix. The band took the song into extra innings with a marvelously executed "trick" ending, adding more solo time for saxophonist Malcolm Brown and Fleschner on the pearly plastic ivories to shine most off the wall lyrics. Listening to this album without paying atten attention tion to the lyrics, this CD is respect respectable able and full of numerous styles, each of which is performed by tal talented ented musicians who have written an almost perfect modern hard rock party album.

Get Shorty doesn't have too many problems if taken the right way. First, those of you worried about the potential for gratuitous violence shouldn't be worried- the film itself contains little violence, and the violence shown is played for laughs. Second, Get Shorty has been highly misadvertised ;n the media, being previewed as a com comedy, edy, which is entirely wrong. Get Shorty is a humorous film; there were a few scenes that I found my myself self laughing uncontollably, but most of the jokes are references to lifestyles in Hollywood. This is an excellent film which relies on a good plot and strong characters both of which carry the audience for two worthwhile hours. Get Shorty is one of this year's ten best. lots of good beer." As he also pointed out, the barstools are very, very hard; It would be difficult to spend four or five hours on one. Some padded pews are needed for proper meditation. This is not a place to go on Friday night; it's more of a Satur Saturday day afternoon type place. It's the kind of place you read the paper at. But the reason one treks out to Cas Cascade cade is to worship at a microbrew shrine. Whether a new convert or a de devout vout parishoner, it would be good for the soul to at least visit Cascade once in a lifetime. Services are held nightly; offering is required.

The band's performance dem demonstrated onstrated yet another way in which the newly renovated Bistro can be utilized by the campus community. In a building that often feels more like an alumni and trustees club clubhouse house than a student union, the Bis Bistro tro and the acts who perform there are virtually the saviours of campus fun culture. And with only one visit from Campus Safety during the entire show (I didn't see any cars illegally parked.

Willamette students, parents, friends, alumni and Salem citizens were able to watch the Bearcats (4-2) give the then ranked No. 8 ranked Linfield Wildcats (4 (4-2) 2) a run for their money, and sent them home with their tails between their legs in a smashing 40-6 win. Willamette's offense started off like a firecracker, scoring 33 points in less than 17 minutes. This quick start Linfield could not overcome. With a scored touchdown on their first four possessions and a returned fumble helping contribute to another score, the Bearcats put themselves ahead of Linfield's de defensive fensive game only a few minutes into the second quarter. Sophomore quarterback Chuck Pinkerton and senior wide receiver Geoff Huetten combined forces for the game' s first touchdown. Sophomore Danny Osborne, who has "stepped up" in the words of third year Head Football Coach Dan Hawkins, scored three of Willamette's touchdowns with the help of Willamette's on the ball offense. He had runs of 39, 45 and 46 yards in the game, scoring a touch touchdown down on the 46-yard play as well as on a two and a three-yard play. Osborne was named Mt. Hood League Offensive Player of the Week after Willamette's 49-1 0 win two weeks ago over Eastern Or Oregon. egon.

Senior Cornerback Mick Glaze had tackled Langsdorf from the side to force the fumble. This tackle forced Langsdorf out of the game with an injured shoulder.

Linfield had started out with the No. 1 ranking for the first four weeks of tho season, but their game against Willamette came just a week after losing to Western Washington on their homecoming. This is the first time Linfield has lost back-to-back football games since 1987. the changes necessary so that the team can improve. When asked about the difficul difficulties ties in taking on a developing team like that at Willamette, first year coach Jeff Young commented, "There's always a difference in styles which needs to be rectified. It's hard to get personal with such a large group." With about 40 rowers turning out, the team has seen a large in increase crease in the number of novice row rowers. ers. Only six men's varsity rowers returned so there is an opportunity for some less experienced rowers to join in the varsity men's eight right from the start. With the influx in rowers comes a number of problems, however. "There is no real affinity being built within the team," said returning varsity coxswaine Hilary Bayly. According to Varsity Coxswain AdamWithycombe, this problem is almost entirely due to "the few var varsity sity rowers returning with lots of novices." Last year, the team did not have a coach until midway through the fall season and were unable to get into boats on the water until No November. vember. In that respect, this year's team is ahead of last year's. Unfortunately, the team is be behind hind when it comes to conditioning. Depite all the challenges.

He had runs of 39, 45 and 46 yards in the game, scoring a touchdown on the 46-yard play as well as on a 2 and 3-yard play. Osborne was named Mt.

He was also named Columbia Football Association Player of the Week, which is a national award. With seven touchdowns in the past three weeks, Osborne is averaging just under 10 points a game. Osborne tends to give most of the credit to Willamette' s offense. "I think all those statistics reflect directly upon everybody on the offensive line and offense itself." he said. "The last three weeks they have been playing really well and our passing game has improved. They've been giving Chuck a lot more time. They (offensive line) don't get a of credit, but that's where it all starts." Osborne thinks that the Willamette football program's coaching staff has helped make the playing experience positive for players. "I think everybody has a lot of respect for them.

"You under underestimate estimate them (Pacific), and you leave the gym on the short end," she said. Willamette, now alone on top of the NCIC, had no time to rest on their laurels, as Northwest Nazarene came to town the following after afternoon. noon. Northwest Nazarene took two of three games from the Bearcats, and are ranked in the top six in the region this season. Even with their past success against the Bearcats, Northwest Nazarene barely caused Willamette to break a sweat.

After a one game hiatus from NCIC play, Willamette finished off their four game home stand against a Linfield team that had taken the Bearcats to a decisive third game in the Western Oregon Invitational. Linfield's ability to play with the Bearcats vanished immediately as Willamette rolled toa 15-3, 15-5, 15-5 victory. Linfield's sudden in inability ability to compete confused Piper. "They weren't injured," she said. "It wasn't like they could say they lost their best player." Nevertheless, the victory over Linfield was exactly what the Bearcats needed, heading into a rematch at Pacific Lutheran. Pacific Lutheran had taken the Bearcats to a decisive rally scoring fifth game earlier in the season on Willamette's home floor. The rematch between the two teams would once again favor the home team, considering how well the teams matched up. In the end, there were to many things affecting the Bearcats, as they dropped the first two games. Willamette was able to regain some momentum, taking games three and four, but a quick run in the rally scoring fifth game gave PLU a 15-7, 17-15, 14-16, 5-15, 15-11 victory. "That wasagreat match," saidPiper. "Both teams were very similar." Overall, Piper felt that the deci decisive sive factor was PLU's will to win. "They were not to be denied," she said. Coming off their first NCIC, loss of the season, and, their first in 22, matches, the Bearcats took out their frustrations Wednesday night. The victim was an unassuming Lewis & Clark team, who the Bearcats had easily defeated earlier in the year. Willamette steamrolled over Lewis & Clark in all three games, coming away with a 15-0, 15-4, 15 15-1 1 victory. for their game Saturday. Senior de defensive fensive back Mick Glaze had 13 tackles, Grames had 1 1 tackles and Richardson had one sack and sev several eral tackles. Willamette players accredit the win to consistency from the game's onset. "The offense and defense came out ready to play in the first half," said senior Matt Neal. Whitworth was not playing en entirely tirely bad, outgaining Willamette in total offense 501 yards to 365 yards, but it came down to Whitworth's turnovers, which Willamette snatched up without a second thought. "It was a letdown in the third quarter that we didn't want to see," said Neal, in reference to 10 discount for Willamette students! r-1 6 00 MAKE YOU 159 High Street S.E., Salem, OR Piper pointed out the Bearcat's serving as a major key to Willamette's easy victory. "My kids (Willamette) started serving tough, and they didn't pass very well," she said. "I love the intensity our kids (Willamette) have." The women's tough serving has been a major element to their suc success cess all season, and is only getting better. "We are trying to develop a real nice serving scenario," said Piper. "Some are floating the ball, some are spinning it and others are serving short." With the win over Lewis & Clark, the Bearcats moved their record to 23-6 overall and 9-1 in the NCIC. Two victories this weekend could give the Bearcats the confer conference ence title. If the Bearcats win both games, they would be guaranteed a tie for first, even if they dropped their two remaining matches with George Fox and Pacific. Coming away with two wins this weekend should not be ex extremely tremely difficult, as the Bearcats take on NCIC cellar dwellers Whitman and Whitworth. Despite the two team's poor records, Piper is still a little worried about the two team's capabilities. "Both are improving, both are good," she said. "They both can play the spoiler role." The two matches will be the last at Cone Fieldhouse this season, at least in the regular season. If the Bearcats win the NCIC title, they will host the conference tournament, which will produce one team that will move on to the regional tourna tournament, ment, . ., ,, . . All that Willamette has to do to ensure their third straight NCIC crown is to win three of their final four matches, because all other NCIC teams have at least three losses in conference play. "It may come down to that last match," said Piper. "We have a chance to decide our destiny." Whitworth's touchdown on Willamette's defense, which was not as aggressive in the second half. "Hopefully we can iron things out. We came out slow after the half, but we'd scored enough points early on that it didn't hurt us too much." Many players feel that they have performed well even after having a slow start at the beginning of the season. "I think we're starting to come together as a team. We're putting in good effort on both sides of the ball. We also have been a lot more fo focused cused during the last three weeks, due to team leadership, both with -players and coaches," said sopho sophomore more Gordon Thomson, who was six for six in PAT attempts in Saturday's game. 0 Q Q 0 HEALTHY 97301 (503) 364-5512 ports October 27, 1995 15 Die Collegian McGinness, Stiles keep up snowb oar ding skills by Patrick Smith Staff Writer What is so special about a little school in Maine that it produces some of the premier American skiers and snow boarders, and why would two graduates of this tiny school de decide cide to come to Willamette? Alexis McGinness and Greg Stiles both attended the Carrabassett Valley Academy (CVA) located on the slopes of SugarloafUSA, one of the best ski mountains in the east. With only about 100 students, it is interesting that two students from CVA chose to attend Willamette. According to a brochure, Carrabassett Valley Acadamy's goal is to "provide the optimum balance of excellence in college preparatory academics and athletic training with a focus on skiing or snow boarding." According to McGinness, the school delivers what it promises through their academic and athletic programs. In her three years at CVA, McGinness both skied and snow boarded. Her first two years were spent skiing, racing competitively against some of the best skiers across the nation in her age group. For her final year, she decided to try snow boarding. Not expecting a large degree of success in her first year of boarding, McGinness was surprised when she found she was able to compete against other girls with much more boarding experi experience ence than her due to her large amount of racing experience from her skiing. At the end of last season, McGinness finished seventh and third in the giant slalom and the slalom respectively at the USASA Nationals, fourth in her age group for both events at the USSA Nationals. Presently, McGinness is sponsored by Priority Snowboard Shop, located in New Jersey, and Kurvz, a snowboard clothing com company. pany. While at CVA, she was sponsored by such companies as Dynastar, Swans, and Spyder when she skied, and was sponsored by Rossignol during the past year while she snowboarded.

Both she and sophomore Greg Stiles keep their snowboarding skills sharp, seeking to devlop their skills to the highest level possible. will be going to Vermont and California to compete in International Snowboard Federa Federation tion competitions, including the US Open and Nationals, for much of the winter. Stiles, unlike McGinness, only attended CVA for his senior year. While at CVA he learned the art of going fast, a skill that applies to both racing and his chosen area, freestyle. Freestyle snow boarding focuses more upon free riding and catching air. After gradu graduating, ating, he took a year off to further his snow boarding career. Stiles has concentrated most of his riding on freestyle. As a result of his talents, Stiles is featured in selection of snow boarding films. Presently, Stiles rides for the Rossignol Pro Team. One might think that spending most of high school attending a small school in Maine might become a bit restrictive. In response to this sentiment, McGinness disagreed, say saying, ing, "Going to CVA was a great experience. It was a learning experience." These two snow boarders are slightly different than others one might meet on the slopes. Both have a goal to become the best professionally they can be. Keep an eye out for both as they pursue the upper levels of their sport, possibly all the way to the Olympics. Cross country teams finish regular season strong at PLU by Jeremy Hall Contributor In the past two weeks, the men's and women's Cross Country teams have indicated that they are up for the imminent challenge of the Con Conference ference Championship meet next week. At the Pacific Lutheran and the Linfield invitationals, both Bearcat teams have furthered their positions in their respective confer conferences, ences, each packed with some of the most talented teams in the coun country try jockeying for a starting chute at the National Meet. "We haven' t seen such outstand outstanding ing collective performances for the men and the women since the 1993 post-season," said Head Cross Crosscountry country Coach Ken James. Sparked by the comeback of junior Ben Straw to the group of elite racers, the men came in thirdat the PLU invitational. Senior Aashish Patel (11th, 26:51) led they way, complemented by Straw (14th 27:02), freshman Chris Olson (20th, 27:12), sophomore Bryce Mercer (24th, 27:2 1 ) and Bret Jensen (27:24). For the women, freshman Beth Fitzgerald again eclipsed the 19:00 barrier with her fifth-place finish in 18:57. Senior Carrie Morales (6th, 19:09) followed, along with fresh freshmen men Megan Savage (30th, 20:27) and Tonya Sanders (31st, 20:27), and junior Malia Greening (46th, 2 1 :00). Like Straw, Greening broke a string of frustrating performances with a tremendous race. "The key to the women's success will be run runners ners like Malia stepping up and closing the gap between our first and fifth runners," said James. This, however, is not looking to be a concern for the men. The fol following lowing week, at Linfield, just 18 seconds and six places separated the first and fifth runners. "We'll need more of this consistency and depth to show at conference if we are to get a national berth," said senior and team captain Dan Noyes. Jensen (26:59) started the tight chain of Bearcat finishers, and Patel ( 1 2th, 27:08), Mercer ( 1 3th, 27:09), freshmen Chris Lyke (14th, 27:16) and Straw (15th, 27: 17) formed the rest of the links as Willamette crushed all present schools of com comparable parable size, including rival Linfield, by more than 100 points. For the women, Senior Carrie Morales (3rd, 19:43) broke the tape first for the Bearcats, and in spite of strong performances from Sanders (7th, 20:32), and Greening (12th, 20:58), the cardinal jerseys were too far apart, and the Bearcat women managed a second place finish with 52points behind Linfield's 28. Sav Savage age (14th, 21:06) and freshman Jackie O'Connor (16th, 21:17) fin finished ished the scoring for the Bearcats. rFREECRAZY bread& "ljter pipsfl LOOIC WHO'S DELIVERING With 2 medium $T .98 Pleaser PIZZAS 11 11 6 TOP OF THE LINE PLEASER PIZZAS TO CHOOSE FROM.

Peace Lectures: Hate crimes creat crisis situation Continued from page 1 being in a time of great crisis, and not able to be neutral. Every year there is a 10 increase in anti anti-Semitic Semitic violence; since 1987, there has been a 300 increase in campus violence; 37 of teens say they have engaged in harassment of gays, lesbians andor bisexuals, 19 say they have written homophobic or heterosexist graffiti and 16 say they have done physical violence against gays, lesbians or bisexuals. Wise feels that the 20,000 ac active tive members of the KKK are less of a threat to this country than the mainstream groups who say they don't hate gays, but they 're going to hell for their sins. When looking back over the his history tory of hatred and racism, Wise pointed to the pattern of flair-ups. These tend to coincide with social upheaval: at the end of the Civil War, the early 1920's (right after the Red Scare), the 1960's. These were all times when the KKK resurged, or in the case of the Civil War, was born. Wise posed the question: "What do we do about it?" The first thing to do, he said, is expose extremism and address the real source, such as socioeconomics. Education needs to be improved, in all parts of society. Wise sug suggested gested that because schools are funded from the tax base, schools in the suburbs, which are mainly com comprised prised of white students, have a higher tax base than inner-city schools, which are 75 minorities. In the schools, says Wise, history should be taught not just about great people students may never be, but also about ordinary people who have done good things: the Civil Rights workers in the South, the people in the South before the Civil War who fought to free the slaves, just nor normal mal people who've done great things that have helped make America what it is. Wise's final message was to encourage people to never give up. "Don't feel discouraged if the out outlook look doesn't look good, but keep the struggle going. We' 11 lose battle after battle, but then, we'll win." f V XT KNOW THE CODE" You are tl O t a mooch.
