Gates lectures on racial issues by Heather C. Anderson Staff Writer Dr. Henry Louis Gates, Jr., a self-proclaimed "product of affirmative action" and Harvard professor, rounded off this year's Atkinson Lecture Series with a free-ranging presentation on culturaTdiversity. His speech touched on numerous topics, from abolition abolitionist ist Frederick Douglass' search for his birthdate to Newt Gingrich's personal reading prefer preferences. ences. , Gates' discourse, delivered last night in Smith Auditorium, detailed both historic and contempoarary issues as revealed through cultural interaction. Using Douglass as an historical cornerstone, Gates' broad-based lecture strove to highlight society as "multicultural" from the very beginning, al- r though Gates added that society has yet to fully recognize itself as such. To Gates, the African-American struggle with self-identity, as examined through chang changing ing self-indicators (e.g., Negro, Colored, Black, Afro-American, "Neo-Nubian"), is the result of a "deeper angst" that stems from such things as capitalistic structure failure and fissures in the Black community. During his forty-five minute speech, Gates applauded affirmative action as a necessary social device. "If I didn't say that I was here (because of) affirmative action, I would be the biggest hypocrite this century since Clarence Thomas. I went to Yale. ..because some bureaucrat approved it in the name of affirmative action." Gates added that he gradu graduated ated with honors (Summa Cum Laude and Phi Beta Kappa), which were not the affect of affirmative action but of hard work. Gates, a renowned professor and scholar is both chairman of the Department of Afro Afro-American American Studies and director of the W.E.B . DuBois Institute for Afro-American Research at Harvard University. His critical studies of Afro-American oral and literary traditions have impacted literary theorists as well as the Harvard Afro-American department. After receiving his Bachelor of Arts de degree gree in History from Yale University, Gates went on to recieve a Doctorate in English from The University of Cambridge in En England. gland.

Staff Writer ; - Motivated by the recent acts of vandalism on campus, faculty, admin administration istration and students attempted to ex extract tract fact from rumor and consider the reaction of the TIUA community on Tuesday afternoon. Officials from Campus Safety and administrators from TIUA briefed Willamette's faculty on the instances of vandalism which have been occurred on campus in the past weeks. Director of Campus Safety Ross Stout listed the instances of racism which had occurred at Kaneko so far, with the intention of dispelling any rumors about the acts. He explained that someone has vandalized microwaves at Kaneko Please see TIUA on page 12 Managers prepare for Glee by Derek Hevel Contributor Overall and class managers for Glee have been hard at work practicing and preparing for this Saturday's competition. While the overall managers are still making last minute prepa preparations rations for the event, the class managers have been running prac practice tice sessions for members of their classes. Aside from the chaotic prac practice tice schedule, the managers are also dealing with another big prob problem: lem: attendance. "I'd say it' s about average . . . maybe 1 20 people are actually marching. I don't know if that's up or down from last year, but it's kind of a disappoint disappointing ing number, because it's not that many people," said Overall Man Manager ager Tyler Peterson.

Peterson also noted some other problems, such as schedul ing Glee during midterms. Peterson suggested moving Glee earlier in the year, like February. "The other problem is the prac practice tice times ... it is a demanding schedule. It takes up a lot of your time," said Peterson. Bistro aims for more than coffee in the black by Lydia Alexander Staff Writer ASWU officers propose changes to senate by James Sites Contributor A bill was proposed in last night's senate meeting that would drastically change the structure of Willamette's student government. The Bill to Establish the Legis Legislative lative Council would, if passed, commit the current ASWU Senate to restructure its system of legisla legislature ture by eliminating the current Sen Senate ate body and creating, immediately after its passage, a Legislative Coun Council cil composed of seven members elected at large. The intent of the bill, which was submitted by ASWU President Heather Dahl, is to down-size and streamline the student government system. With a smaller number of legislators, a council elected in a competitive race would ensure that those few legislators would be com committed mitted to serving the student body. Under the proposed new for format, mat, weekly meetings by the coun council cil would be open to any member of the student body, whether to ad address dress the council, or introduce leg islation of their own. Before the bill was discussed, a motion was made to table, due to the fact that senators had not been given adequate time to discuss the issue with constituents. The issue proceeded to discussion when it became apparent that the intent of introducing the bill was to initiate dialogue and exchange ideas, and that it would most likely be tabled until next week after some discus discussion, sion, so that senators would have a better feel for the issues at hand.

Unfortunately, this unique en environment vironment carries with it many lo logistical gistical obstacles, necessitating sub subsidization sidization by the university. This year, Bistro managers have worked to shift the focus of the Bistro to being a business which will break even, if not make a profit. For six out of the eight years it has been on campus, the Bistro has lost money, including a loss last year of $4,949. Changes have included im improvements provements in the accounting sys system, tem, an emphasis on the Bistro as a business, and initial plans for a profit-sharing system. According to Michelle Howell, advisor for the Bistro, the student student-run run cafe was making a profit of about $3,000 as of last month, which is attributable both to the business reforms as well as to the managers. One change this year has been that the three managers are not all seniors. A past problem, said Howell, is that Bistro managers have been exclusively seniors, and have been so concerned with senior pa papers, pers, graduation and finding a job after college that the Bistro could not be as much of a priority. This year's managers Gina Duvoisin, Andrea Reese and Kelly Rudd are graduating in Spring '96, Spring '95 and Fall '95 respectively, which adds a balance, said Howell. Also, Howell noted that having three Bistro managers makes for a better balance of the workload. It helps because if one manager slips behind, there are two others who can run things and encourage the third to get back on track. "Past managers have compared it to having a child. It's that kind of commitment," Duvoisin said. In addition to what seems to be a different style of management, a specific program to improve the accounting procedure has been in instituted. stituted.

Mark Hatfield's Republican colleagues in Washington are seeking retribution against him, many people in his home state are prais praising ing Oregon's senior senator for his show of independence. Judging from calls to radio talk shows, informal television and news newspaper paper polls and newspaper editorials, there appears to be a deep reservoir of good will toward Hatfield, even among those who disagree with his vote against the balanced budget amendment. "Even if Hatfield was wrong about the balanced budget amendment and we think he was - the senator was right to stand up for what he believes," The Bulletin newspaper in Bend said in an editorial. Former Gov. Vic Atiyeh, consid considered ered one of the senior statesmen of the Oregon Republican Party, echoed that sentiment. "Mark was voting his conscience, he was not voting politics. I think that quality of honesty is treasured by most people," Atiyeh said Tuesday. Though neither was a scientific poll, Hatfield drew strong backing from people who took part in a telephone survey conducted Sunday night by Port Portland land TV station KATU and in one done by The Oregonian newspaper. Portland radio talk show host Bill Gallagher devoted his entire three-hour program Monday to the Hatfield con controversy, troversy, and said most of the people who called in sided with Hatfield. "It broke about 60-40," Gallagher said. "Most people said it was nice to see him stick to his guns." Among the call callers ers who opposed Hatfield, "The one word that kept com coming ing up was 'arrogance,' that he didn't vote the way people wanted," said Gallagher, whose program is aired on station KXL-AM. Threats by some of Hatfield's Re Republican publican Senate colleagues to strip him of his chairmanship of the powerful Appropriations Committee also have brought Oregonians to his defense. Hatfield spokeswoman Julie McGregor said her office has been "overwhelmed" by calls from constitu constituents ents who are backing Hatfield in the face of attacks by conservative GOP Ihe senator was right to stand up for what he believes," -Vic Atiyeh, Former Governor senators. "I think people are taking this per personally, sonally, saying, 'He's our senator,'" McGregor said. Another Hatfield aide, Heather Sack, said the senator' s offices in Wash Washington ington and in Oregon have logged more than 1 ,500 calls over the past two days, and that all but 175 were supportive. About a dozen callers recommended that Hatfield run for president, and one thought Hatfield's face should be on Mount Rushmore. Several bouquets of flowers were sent to his office, and will be donated to char charity, ity, Sack said. Oregon Republi Republican can Chairman Randy Miller said he's not surprised by the out outpouring pouring of affection for Hatfield. "It indicates the high regard that Oregonians have for Sen. Hatfield," he said. At the same time, Miller said he still thinks Hatfield may draw a major chal challenger lenger in next year's GOP primary for opposing the balanced budget plan. "The senator himself has said this vote will not be helpful politically," the state GOP chief said. "Whenever you vote in a way that is at odds with most of your constituents, there is a down downside side politically." Eye on the Legislature Thus far, the 1995 Legislature has lived up to its billing to be anything but typical. The Republicans control the Senate, a Democrat from Southern Oregon who wears blue jeans to his own inauguration is gover governor, nor, and already an interesting range of bills have been introduced. Recently introduced bills include one by Senate President Smith which would establish a trust fund for public schools and another by Rep. Markham Riddle (R) which seeks to replicate the popular California Proposition 187. Salem Rep. Kevin Mannix (R) intro introduced duced a bill which would prohibit unwed women from receiving artificial insemination. Last week saw the introduction of a bill that would guarantee a full-ride education to any Oregon state institution of higher education for all Oregon high school students who graduate with a B average or higher. One legislator proposed a bill that would require anyone attempting to purchase gasoline to first show their driver's license to the gas station employee. Some of the bills introduced early this week include: HB 3121 would require the destruction of all firearms forfeited under state law. Introduced by Rep. Wooten (D), Eugene. HB 3244 establishes mandatory minimum sen sentences tences for delivery of controlled substances to minors; and HB 3250 Imposes fine of $100 per gram for possession of marijuana. Both bills introduced by Repi Grisham (R), Beaver Creek. HB 3257 restricts the use of victim's clothing as evidence during sexual offense trials. Co-sponsored by by-Rep. Rep.

Lawyers 9 activists converge in Eugene for conference by Dan Metz Editor People from all over the world converged on the University of Or Oregon egon campus in Eugene last week to discuss the problems and potential solutions to the environmental crisis currently facing the planet. The Public Interest Environmen Environmental tal Law Conference, sponsored by the environmental lobbying group Land Air Water, attracted the contri contributions butions of lawyers, government of officials, ficials, legislators, lobbyists and en environmental vironmental activists, as well as stu students dents of the law and environmental sciences. The conference consisted of sev several eral workshops, public addresses by well-known environmentalists such as David Brower, founder of the Earth Island Institute, debates, strat strategy egy sessions and panels on specific environmental issues which ranged from "solutions to the population problem" to protecting the salmon runs in the Columbia River, and prosecuting environmental crimes around the world. This year' s conference was titled, "Ideas Into Action," marking the goal of implementing the various plans and ideas generated in the pan panels els and indicating the need for action beyond the sphere of the confer conference. ence. For this, his thirteenth confer conference, ence, Brower gave the opening ad address dress on Thursday night to a packed lecture hall. He noted the increased salience and impact of the confer conference ence as it has grown over the years. According to the 82-year old Brower, the conference started with roughly 200 in attendance; last year had over 3,000 people attending. "I don't know how many (people) there will be this year, but I do consider this the most important environmental conference in this country, if not in the world," he said in his address. The various panels included top topics ics as diverse as Brazilian environ environmental mental law, development in Asia, access to federal courts, ozone ef effects, fects, Endangered Species Act is issues, sues, eco-journalism, solutions to the population problem, British Co Columbia lumbia forest issues, civil disobedi disobedience ence and community food security. In the panel about eco-journalism, Victor Rozak, editor of Forest Voice, a publication of the Native Forest Council, said the media often encounters credibility problems. These problems arise from sensa sensationalism tionalism and embellishments of the truth. "I'm beginning to understand the need for a scrupulous devotion to the truth ... we have a story to tell and we don't need to embellish it," Rozak said. At other panels, the Endangered Species Act (ESA) was debated. At one such panel, Craig Benneville, editor of the Earth First! Journal charged the National Forest Service with lax enforcement of the Endan Endangered gered Species Act. Benneville said he disagrees with current legislation to implement Habitat Conservation Plans (HCPs), which he claimed destroy up to 50 50-75 75 percent of an endangered spe species' cies' habitat. HCPs are designed to preserve an endangered species, but allow the development of the spe species' cies' habitat to "sustainable" levels. While these plans are intended to balance the protection of the spe species cies with a level of development conducive to the survival of the en endangered dangered species, they may permit encroachment on habitat areas. Benneville sees the issue as cor porate property rights pitted against the natu natural ral environment. "When you get right down to it, HCPs are ensur ensuring ing that extinction takes place in an orderly fashion. Basically what you have here are licences to kill en endangered dangered species," he said. On the third day of the confer conference ence a small group of Willamette students attended several of the pan panels. els. For junior politics major Jan Muranaka, the conference made a positive impact. "Personally, it was incredible for me because I walked away with new awareness about how the envi environment ronment touches different aspects of society," she said.

Compiled from Collegian Wire Services News 3 March 10, 1995 The Collegian Professors scrutinizing liberal arts degree by Charlotte Jones Staff Writer The focus group on Common Required Experiences and Electi ves (CREE) has proposed several mod models els for curriculum reform, the two most recent being the "cluster" model and the "kernel" model. As Professor of Rhetoric and Media Studies Catherine Collins remembers, the group began by ask asking ing its members, "Are there some experiences we would hope all Willamette students should have before they graduate?" This committee within the Work Working ing Group on the Curriculum exam examined ined such aspects of Willamette's V curriculum as the Enelish and math proficiency requirements, the need for a B.S. degree, and the Part A and B requirements. According to Louis Goble, Pro Professor fessor of Philosophy, "It's not so much that we as a focus group are trying to propose a line of action, but generate ideas that can be discussed by the larger group." Most of the focus group's pro proposed posed reforms are based on an idea termed "clustering." This proposal would replace the Part A and Part B requirement program. According to Collins, the idea of clustering was born out of discus discussion sion on how students make sense Curriculum yCr Rexieiv .,, ... i. . i,i ,-n - i, i ii 1 out of the subjects they study. Toward the middle of studies within their major, most students realize that the courses they take relate to one another. "We would hope the other courses they take would be that way as well," Collins said. The first clustering proposal is organized by themes. Each student would choose a theme to study for their General Education Require Requirements ments and would then choose which courses to take within their theme, much like how they choose the courses within the Part A or B selec selections tions now. All courses taken to satisfy the cluster requirement would relate to the student's chosen theme. World Views could also be incorporated into this program as the introductory course for each individual cluster. The cluster program would ex extend tend across all four years of a student's education with a possible conclusion class in the senior year. The program could also incorporate a one credit intensive research course stressing math and sciences, and a required credit in off-campus study or service learning related to the cluster. Rather than using a theme, the second cluster proposal would use courses organized into pairs. Two professors, possibly from different departments, would pair up to teach a combination class of two subjects. A first semester freshman would be required to take World Views and one set of paired courses and could elect to take additional courses. A second semester freshman would be required to take one set of paired courses and additional elective or major classes. A first semester sophomore would take one more set of paired courses and any other elective or major courses. All students would be required to complete one credit in foreign study or service learning and a credit in a senior learning course. The goal of these two proposals, Collins explained, is to ensure that students will relate whatever they learn to other classes they take, and to the courses they take for their major. Another proposal, organized by committee member Steve Prothero, centers around a "kernel." The ker kernel nel consists of six types of courses which would be required of all stu students. dents. The six groups of courses would be: public speaking, numeracy, writing, computer literacy, foreign language and personal fitness. The major-minor program would also be modified. All majors and minor study programs would be divided into two types, departmental and inter-disciplinary. Each student would have a major and a minor, but each would be taken from a different group. If a student's major was departmental, the minor would have to be inter interdisciplinary disciplinary and vice-versa. One recurring theme in the group's discussion was what to do with English and math proficiency requirements and whether or not to require students to take foreign lan language guage courses. According to Collins, the general consensus of the group was to do away with the idea of proficiency altogether. The committee is also tempted to discontinue the B.S. degree. This would not be unusual, in that a lot of liberal arts colleges in the same tier as Willamette only offer B.A.s, said Collins. Many of the ideas the group has discussed have come out of their re research search of otherinstitutions' programs. However, Russ Beaton, a member of the group, stressed in his proposal to the Working Group that the reforms they consider should "have features which make it a distinctive and unique part of Willamette." Some of the Common Required Experiences and Electives' ideas in include: clude: . Replace Part A and Part B requirements with a system termed "clus "clustering," tering," where general education requirements would be fulfilled by tak taking ing courses which all re relate late to a certain theme. Fulfill Part A and B requirements by taking paired courses. Discontinue the Bachelor of Science. Prohibit any major from requiring more than 10 credits. Change the Part A program to a "kernel" system, similar to the Part A but with different groups of courses. Separate major and minor programs into two programs, departmental or inter-disciplinary. Logistics delay installation of senate-mandated fax 3Payment and maintenance issues have ftet to be decided. by James Fujita Contributor The long-awaited Willamette ( tudent Body fax machine has ar arrived, rived, but don't rush over to the University Center with messages to send yet. It's in the ASWU office, underneath a table, unplugged and still in its box. Last year, at the suggestion of j'appa Sigma Senator Ken Ray, ASWU formed a committee to study the possibility of placing a fax ma machine chine at the UC desk for the conve convenience nience of the student body, similar to the other services provided by the UC desk staff. After investigating the issue, the Senate voted to purchase the fax machine. Then problems arose. Once the fax machine had been purchased, new concerns were raised. In a memo sent to Greg Koger, then Treasurer and chair of the ASWU fax machine committee, Ray, ASWU President Heather Dahl and Assistant Director of Student Activities Michelle Howell brought forward a numberof concerns, rang ranging ing from the need for a ASWU fax machine, to the security of the ma machine chine and pay- ment for sent faxes. Now, months after the fax ma machine chine had been successfully pro procured, cured, no progress has been made. Koger gradu ated, and since the fax machine was considered office equipment, the task of deciding is issues sues of payment, fees and mainte maintenance nance was "just sort of dumped in my lap," said ASWU Secretary Brione Berneche.

There is al- ready a phone line extension that the fax machine can use, but for the time being, as a low priority in the face of more pressing issues, there is no fixed date to install the fax machine.

Eventually he found himself back at Wake Forest giving a poetry reading, and soon after finished his B.A., working as a teaching assistant as he studied to gain his M.A. in English Literature. Teaching allows McCown to surround himself with thinking people who are constantly sparking new ideas in theirown mindsand in his. McCown said that he "likes the creation of new thought."

Editorial 4 Tlie Collegian March 10, 1995 Do-nothing senators wallow in mediocrity The Collegian has spent the last several weeks review reviewing ing the performance of the ASWU officers in an attempt to offer Willamette undergraduates an idea of how their elected representatives have been keeping busy. But there is one group that the Collegian has allowed to wallow in obscure mediocrity all year long. The students who comprise the body of the ASWU Senate must be busy people. They obviously haven't had the time or the energy to devote to their jobs as senators this year, since most of them seem content to wander into the senate meetings every Thursday night and complain about the problems they have with the university without doing anything about it. The combined total of all legislation written by the ASWU senators this year totals- are you ready for this? this?-eight eight resolutions. That compares with 38 pieces of legis legislation lation the year before last. This incredibly low number would be alright, if the senators really felt that everything at Willamette was perfect, and nothing needed fixing. But this is far from true. During the concerns section of nearly every meet meeting, ing, senators feel it is imperative that they whine about every possible annoyance on campus. But they never propose a solution. Instead, they insist that they were never told how to write legislation, when the fact is that they never even bothered to open their senate manual, which details the process explicitly. Granted, a few senators have been doing their job. Martin Doern, for example, is a rare exception to the rule. But the others have done nothing to deserve the support of their constituents. NOTICE TO ALL SENATORS: Student government is not a spectator sport. It is your job to see that things change for the better. If you can't do your job, your constituents would be better off without you. Yes, dear senators, it is a tragedy that the paint is peeling on the Doney ramp. Fix it. Yes, dear senators, the policy for maintenance work workers ers entering student rooms should be clarified. Clarify it. Yes, dear senators, the board meal program could handle some reevaluation. Evaluate it. Yes, dear senators, the roommate problems between Willamette and TTUA students needs some work. Work on it. And don't complain that people don't listen to the legislation that you are passing. Past senates have made invaluable contributions to campus life. Most of you have done little more than take up space. Perhaps the measures proposed by the ASWU officers to solve this problem of apathetic senators is a little extreme (see front page for details). But their point is incredibly salient. It would be better to have a few senators who cared enough to actually do their job than a roomful of lazy sniveling, whiners. Men's Group signs defended, explained To the editor: In reaction to all the response the University has received over the poster advertising of the Men's Group, I would like to clarify my position on designing it. The goal of the men's group is to allow men some freedom of thought, allow them to gain new ideas about their place in society, and allow them to express them themselves. selves. As a member of a fraternity, I often find myself adopting the opinions and ideas of the larger group of males instead of using my own morals to reason a situation and decide on my own view. This shouldn'tbe. Stereotype conformity occurs in all groups, not just groups of men. This is part of human na nature, ture, put it can cause problems. My goal, by supporting this Men's Group, is to break open the group conformity which many males en encounter counter and allow them to think for themselves. In order to publicize the event, which Willamette counselor Ben Coleman facilitates, I posted two different posters on Monday night. To raise immediate awareness for the group and the stereotypes it is aimed at defeating, I chose to get people's attention and play the part of someone with the opposite view: one of a sexist, egotistical male. The posters compared one nude wi th one clothed woman, sporting the headlines "Which woman would you rather date?" and "Which girl would you rather have?" I thought this would act as reverse psychol psychology. ogy. Surely this kind of objectifica objectifica-tion tion of woman would be seen as an attempt to change it rather than ad advocate vocate it. Unfortunately, some took it the wrong way. Although the posters received some negative response, I accept full responsibility forcreating them. Ben Coleman, whose name was printed on each poster, was not in involved volved with the posters. The adver advertisements tisements had been posted and re removed moved before he even knew about them. Delta Tau Delta Fraternity didn't sponsor the activity and, therefore, has no responsibility in the situation. Residence Life did initially approve the advertisements for posting, which may make it par partially tially responsible, but then helped to remove them. If anyone was offended by the posters, I am truly sorry. Derek F. Hevel Junior This letter was edited for space considerations.

Those who continue to express their inner selves via burning bulletin joards face horrific oppression in the form of patrolling security guards, irate fire marshals, and wide widespread spread antipathy. People who want to turn left: No other drivers have their rights so thoroughly trampled as left turners, traffic law actually requires them to continually submit to the rights of everyone else; going straight, turning right, or just plain stopping are blatantly favored over turning left.

In this time of fiscal conservatism I believe the only an rampant in left turn lane tury, has been widely overlooked by educators all around the country. Not only is it deliberately omitted from public High School curricu curricu-lums, lums, but it is unavailable as a major here at Willamette. Ignorance reigns - we must petition to put an end to this lunacy! Different Strokes fans: Al- If You Say So Erin Duffy though this is a truly cheesy sit com whose actors have gone on to lives of substance abuse and failed 7-11 stick-ups, we must stop oppressing its fans. In any dorm lounge, the rights of Different Strokes fans are frequently disregarded. How often do people change the TV channel to Cheers reruns despite the protests of this oppressed minority? There are no accurate statistics available, but experts estimate such unreported incidents occur 100 times a minute nationwide. The dead: When people die, usually through no fault of their own, they immediately lose all of their rights, property, money, and personal protection. They are no longer permitted to vote, defend themselves against slander, or seek shelter above ground. This group is thoughtlessly marginalized by the rest of society, and little has been swer can be no. A little known secret of PBS is that they make a lot of money on merchandising, and I am not talk talking ing about those canvas bags they offer during the pledge drive. Last year Sesame Street prod products ucts brought in $800 million, and Barney sold over $1 billion worth of purple toys. When an organiza organization tion can bring in that much money why shouldn't those revenues be used to support the rest of their endeavors? We all grew up on Sesame Street, the Electric Company, and 3-2-1 Contact. It is hard to remove funding that is so connected to the promotion of values in which we believe. But America must also face the fact that this year the federal government is going to spend $200 billion more than it takes in. Everyone knows that budget cuts are looming on the horizon, and for that reason no funding is truly ensured. I will admit that the $285 million saved on PBS is not going to balance the budget, but we need to start somewhere. If a pro program gram can stand on its own finan financially, cially, like PBS, then it looks like a real easy target for the budget cut cutting ting knife.

Demagogues draw the ire of Homer Simpson Last summer in the eerie fluorescent twilight of the Norm Thompson mail order warehouse I realized that people want pants, people like pants, and that people will wear pants if you make them. The summer before that I learned how to scrape dried glue off of gigantic metal rollers and climb inside the bowels of many a machine to provide maintenance and loving care as well as experience the thrill of im- minent decapitation for six lousy bucks an hour. However, both of these jobs paid weekly, something that the hacks in the Willamette bureau-crackhead payroll hierarchy have yet to figure out. They can cut checks for less than one cent, but only once a month. Thanks to the Business Office's innovative payroll schedule, something that vaguely resembles the astrochronological work done at Stonehenge (in Washington, not England), I was unable to afford my lithium this month. So here is some crappy poem I found on the Internet. In dreams so severe I dare not make tell come whimsical visions of a fiery well, with ceiling 's treacherously fleeting height floating softly aloft walls of flame red, blue, white. "What wonderful terrors men hither entice to follow the fraudulent Leopard and canine Avarice! Through what foul contrivance were these beasts set free?!" "Tis all by due process, " so said voice to me. From sulphurous depths arrived now a visage, unto me was Homer, Saint Homer religious. To him did I put, "Tell it true, be ye Simpson, and further, Springfielder, why to monsters we listen?" Chuckles from Homer in that hell-fire night turned grave serious counsel in the din burning bright. "Long is the short of how such roues have ascended. So many believe with democracy tyranny ended! "True, one'd think against ill business our minds would protect us, but the rogue 's task was simple, they said, 'Folks, elect us! ' Guard yourself, wanderer! Will your faith just in rancid meat sway? Twere this globe a supermarket they'd be but aisle displays! "For tis truly of us these rapscallions hold reflection, perhaps a result of progress or a lull in objection.

Schooling, he says, restricts when and what programs are on. "Yes, and as for the language man, what a riot. " Just the way that he uttered it convinced me to buy it. "Important warning announcement coming your way!

"Take note the variety for troubles of peace that you find. Would you tear up, ignore, boom mike, shackle your mind? " This was hardly the outcome that had been my aim, Why wouldn 't Homer better direct all the blame? As the short lived ill slick silence succumbed to his laugh, nervous tremors like shivers from a tepid sponge bath wormed round bout my conscience, there to linger under the scornful heft of my own castigating finger! "Beaming barker, insinuative spirit! Hold quick your tongue fast. Your muse makes me weary, this next answer's your last.

Markham Furman News Tlie Collegian March 10, 1995 Progressives plan active social, political agenda Formed to counter an organized opposition, the WPU has already sponsored several programs. by James Sites Contributor The Willamette Progressive Union, a new Willamette club composed of progres progressively sively oriented students, met last Thursday night to discuss upcoming events and focus on particular issues. The group was formed in an attempt to bring an end to disunity and sectarianism among the students and groups of progres progressive sive persuasion, and take local action on progressive issues on and off campus. Members of the group feel that the "lib "liberal eral left" is fragmented, whereas the "con "conservative servative right" is coordinated; the Willamette Progressive Union was created to counter the "right." The union has already brought speakers and groups to campus. Three weeks ago, the WPU brought two organizations; one, called Jobs With Justice, spoke out against a bill that would include tips as a part of a workers minimum wage salary; the second organiza organization tion was PCUN, a tree planters and farm workers union. The Willamette Progressives also began a petition against a bill proposed by Repre sentative Kevin Mattox that would limit artificial insemination to married women only. The petition yielded over 300 signa signatures, tures, and will be taken to a public hearing about the bill, if the proposed bill makes it that far. One of the group's on-campus goals is to find ways that Bon Apetit can more effec effectively tively and more efficiently recycle andor re-use containers, cups, and other items that are thrown away. Justice With Jobs, in conjunction with the Oregon Socialist Party, Oregon Friends Service, Oregon Peaceworkers and the Willamette Progressive Union, will be hav having ing a discussion about the national budget Saturday, and come up with potential alter alternative native priorities for the budget. Upcoming events include participation on March 29 in a national protest of right right-wing wing attempts to cut federal financial aid, such as grants and Perkins loans; the second event will be on April 1, when the Oregon Progressive Alliance (OPA) will visit cam campus. pus. The OPA is a group organized to counter the Oregon Citizens Alliance (OCA). The Willamette Progressi ve Union meets weekly on Mondays at 7:00 p.m. in the Parents Conference room on the second floor of the University Center. The club also has an informal coffee hour in the Bistro on Wednesdays at 9:00 p.m. in which students of all political persuasions are invited to come and discuss salient political issues. A member of PCUN, a tree planters and farm workers union, spoke to the Willamette Progressives Union earlier this semester on union issues. Grade point average report shows inflation, says Douglass JGPA report also shows that Haseldorf, Pi Beta Phi, Shepard and WISH are among residence halls with highest grades. by MacCormac Rinehart Contributor Willamette University's aver average age GPA scores are indicative of a national trend of inflating grades, according to David Douglass, Pro Professor fessor of Rhetoric and Media Stud Studies. ies. The Grade Point Average Re Report port for fall term, 1994, released by the Office of Residence Life, ranks on-campus residences by average GPAs. The report is distributed to the Office of Student Activities, the Registrar's Office, and on-campus residence halls. A special report is prepared by the Office of Residence Life and submitted to the Greek organiza organizations tions for use in reports to their national organizations. Results of the Grade Point Av Average erage Report for fall term, 1994 show that for the third straight term residents of Haseldorf Apartments have the highest grade point aver average. age. For fall term, residents' aver average age GPAs was 3.490. Runners up were Pi Beta Phi, Shepard and W.I.S.H. ranking at 3.361, 3.345 and 3.332 re respectively. Last term's lowest GPAs were filled out by five of the six fraternities, which ranked between 2.883 and 2.847. Only grades of resi- dents who live in the house were used in calculat calculating ing these scores. According to Tom Butler, Op Operations erations Assistant at Residence Life, the primary function of the GPA report is to determine which living organization will receive the highest GPA by semester award at the Awards and Honors banquet in April, and for reporting Greek organization's scores to national fraternal organizations. G rade Inflation Is a pretty well established trend nationwide," David Douglass, Professor of Rhetoric According to Anita Stacey, Co Co-ordinator ordinator of Greek Affairs, GPA information is not used in deter determining mining the charter status of Greek organizations. Perhaps the most interesting figures on the Grade Point Aver Average age Report are the All Men's Average, All Women's Av erage, and the All University Average. Ac According cording to the report, Willamette University's composite grade point av average erage is 3.163, the All Men's Average is 3.061 and the All Women's Average is 3.253. "It is with great consistency that women score higher than men at Willamette," said Douglass, who has compiled reports on gender differences in classroom perfor performance mance at Willamette over the past several years. When asked why this was Dou Douglas glas said, "the difference is that women get higher grades on pa papers pers and tests." He continued to say that there were conflicting theories on why women tend to get higher GPAs in college than men, and that linking GPA differences between women and men and any form of favorit favoritism ism or difference in academic abil ability ity was difficult to establish. With respect to Willamette University's composite GPA of 3.163, Douglass said that it was indicative of grade inflation. "I don't think we are an anomaly," said Douglass. "Grade Inflation is a pretty well estab established lished trend nationwide." Further, Douglass said that grade inflation is a relevant issue for colleges and universities, but that "it is very hard for a single university to make a change." He cited applicant requirements for graduate schools and job place placement ment as major factors which have an effect on a university's abilities to act individually on the issue of grade inflation without also hav having ing an impact on their students' future career and academic oppor tunities. ---1 375-0584 1885 Lancaster Dr. N.E.

The Oregon Writing Project at T Willamette University will bring educators of kindergarten through undergraduate students together for a month to study writing. Willamette will join four other sites in Oregon as a site for the Oregon Writing Project, and it will host the program from June 26 through July 2 1 . According to Karen Hamlin, Assistant Professor of Edu Education, cation, there has already been a strong positive response from the Salem-Keizer School District, school districts in Dallas, Woodburn and Silverton, as well as from pri private vate schools such as Saint Joseph's.

The project was spearheaded by Carol Long, Pro Professor fessor of English, who approached Hamlin with the idea. For Hamlin, this was a great way to unite the English and Education departments in this kind of project. Willamette professors Carol Long, Eleanor Berry and Karen Hamlin will direct and teach at the program, and other Willamette pro professors fessors are invited to apply to attend as students. In addition to the indi individual vidual and corporate benefits that professors will receive by attending the program, its establishment at Willamette should have short and long term benefits to the Willamette community, said Long. These benefits include building connections with the local school districts, which should provide a local support for Willamette, and a "seamless web of education" from primary through undergraduate years. "Public schools and colleges work on different assumptions with without out realizing it," said Long.

The project also allows Willamette to give something to the local school system. "With dwin dwindling dling resources for public schools, it becomes the responsibility of places like Willamette to step in," said Hamlin.

By Heather C. Anderson Staff Writer The 1 950s were a time of hoola hoola-hoops hoops and drive-in movies, Elvis and Marilyn, I Love Lucy and TheHoney TheHoney-mooners. mooners. A gallon of gas cost around twenty-five cents and a bottle of ice ice-cold cold Coca-Cola was a dime. While prices may have changed with the times, Salem's nostalgic '50s diners strive to recreate the sights, sounds and flavors of a generation past. Back in the "good ol' days," cho cholesterol lesterol didn't seem to bother anyone a bit, as the three food groups were hamburgers, french fries and milkshakes. This past week I was able to experience the Fabulous Fif Fifties ties while reviewing three of Salem's theme diners. I based my review on several different criteria: variety in regular menu selection; availability (and se selection) lection) of vegetarian entrees; overall quality of food (specifically ham hamburgers, burgers, shakes and french fries); the restaurant's location and accessibil accessibility ity to students without cars; overall service, including how iong it took to be served; atmosphere (does the restaurant's decor transport the cus customer tomer back to the time of poodle skirts and ponytails?); size of por portions tions and price, in relation to portion size. Accessibility Star City Grill blows the compe competition tition out of the water on this one, as it is located only a hop, skip and a jump away from Willamette's cam campus pus at 1244 State Street. If you don't have a car, getting to either of the Rock-n-Rogers diners could be a very long walk Rock-n-Rogers North is located at 1405 Broadway NE and Rock-n-Rogers South is located at 3135 Commercial Street. When customers walk into either Rock-n-Rogers location, immediately they are swept into the decade in which most of our parents were teen teenagers. agers. Hanging from the ceiling are doz dozens ens of old 45s, from Dion's Run Run-around around Sue to Elvis's Heartbreak Hotel (which actually played twice while we were at Rock-n-Rogers South). Also hanging from the ceiling at the South branch was a 1956 Hawthorne bicycle and a metal tri tricycle cycle that looked like it had seen a lot of sidewalk action in its day. Both Rock-n-Rogers also have old television sets. Tfie Honeymoon Honeymoon-ers ers and The Ed Sullivan Show were showing during my respective visits. All three establishments blared It I I. 1 t 7T II: Salem locations. Rock-n-Rogers is tunes that encouraged listeners to Twist 'n' Shout, their repertoire rang ranging ing from songs by Presley and Dion to early Beatles and Buddy Holly songs. In fact, thecompulsion to break out in random jerk movements nearly overtook several customers as they dined. Despite the abundance of '50s memorabilia, the atmosphere at Rock-n-Rogers South came off as a little too commercialized. I, too, was both overwhelmed and amazed by the abundance of '50s paraphernalia and shiny floors, but it occurred to me later that real hangouts back then probably weren't so, we,perfect. Or so big. It seems even bigger than Al's place on Happy Daysl The building was International House of Pancakes until it became the home of the sec second ond Rock-n-Rogers a few months ago. Rock-n-Rogers North, on the other hand, is very small, with seating for between thirty to forty people at the most. They may not have sixteen malt mixers like their South sibling, but the North branch seems more like the type of place that kids in the '50s would hang out. Ponytailed waitresses scurried about wearing white blouses and black skirts at all three restaurants (no male servers to be seen). Rock-n-Rogers employees, although minus the full full-length length skirts, still managed to wear aprons with poodles stitched onto them. Star City Grill's waitresses opted for more '90s attire, with their poodle-less short skirts. Both Rock-n-Rogers establish establishments ments can claim a better recreation of the 1950s than Star City Grill. While Star City attempts to recreate the feel of the '50s, the decor is obviously '90s with splashes of the '50s in included cluded almost as an afterthought. I wasn't impressed. Menu Selections Breakfast at the Star City Grill is served until 11 a.m. and there are eleven entrees available for Sunday Brunch. Champagne, Mimosas, Spar Sparkling kling Cider and non-Alcoholic Mi Mimosas mosas are available for Sunday Brunch. During the lunch hour, the Star City Grill asks that you "share your booth with other patrons" as the res restaurant taurant gets busy. Since my compan companion ion and I ate dinner there, we didn't observe the Grill at its busiest. However, Star City's lunch se selection lection is quite extensive, with salads (including one called the "Just Darn Good" salad), hot dogs, sandwiches and hamburgers. For dinner the Grill has a separate menu, complete with Chicken Cor Cor-donBleu donBleu and Shrimp Fettuccini. Since we were there to sample burgers, we didn't try either of these entrees, but neither Rock-n-Rogers offered any anything thing like that, so we were pretty impressed with the Star City Selec Selection. tion. Star City offers such burgers as the Templeton Burger (the house burger with special blend of spices served with lettuce and tomato), the Bacon Avacado Burger and The Loaded Burger (served with grilled ham or bacon with your favorite cheese; add a fried egg for only $0.75). If the thought of eating a slab of cow between two buns makes you o physically ill, the Star City Grill also offers Gardenburgers in place of their regular burger choices at no extra charge. This was the only attempt by any of the restaurants to please their veg vegetarian etarian patrons. For those with a sweet tooth, Star City offers Flavored Cokes, Sundaes, Sodas, Malts, Shakes, 'The Star City Split," Ice Cream Floats, Brownie Delight and a daily selection of other desserts. Rock-n-Rogers offers 18 differ different ent burgers for your chewing plea pleasure, sure, including The Grilled Onion and Nacho Burger, the Fried Egg Burger and Rock-n-Rogers Favorite ("Elvis Would Have Loved It") com complete plete with 23 lb. hamburger, 14 lb. smoked ham, 2 strips of bacon, a fried egg and cheese. Other items on the menu include hot dogs, an array of sandwiches, salads, fried chicken, and something called "cheese fries." Not to be outdone by the compe competition, tition, Rock-n-Rogers also has a full breakfast menu, complete with But Buttermilk termilk Stackers, "Egghead" Selec Selections, tions, cereals and "Oh Baby! You Know What I Like" breakfast favor favorites. ites. For dessert (if you have enough room left in your tummy) Rogers runs the gamut for selection, with shakes, malts, etc. However, it also includes a "Happy Birthday Mug," which is a goblet with french vanilla ice cream, chocolate and strawberry sauces, whipped cream, nuts and a cherry.Don'ttrytoeatitalone, though - it serves four to six people.

I didn't believe it. Then we got our shake. There was enough milkshake to fill two large soda glasses, plus the metal mixing cup was still three three-fourths fourths full! We both got whipped cream on top it was nummy ! In fact, each place had a pretty darn good shake, although Star City Grill gave us teeny, tiny glasses and there wasn't all that much left in the mixing cup for later. Next we got our fries. At Rock-n-Rogers South, it was a big basket of cheese fries. People rave about these fries, so we tried 'em. Urn, yuck. I didn't really like these. It was basically just some nacho jalapefio cheese over fries. Not some something thing that you can really sink your teeth into. However, at Rock-n-Rogers North, I ate them (yes, we ordered them again) and I liked them. I munched on 'em and they were good. Maybe they're like the new Pearl Jam album cheese fries and Vitalogy grow on you. The fries at StarCity Grill sucked. They were skinny and they still had some of the peel on them and I didn't like them one bit. The fries at Rock-n-Rogers were thick and juicy and un-peeled and not-too-greasy. They were everything that Star City's were not. Anyway, the only thing that held the Rock-n-Rogers fries back was the nacho sauce. At Star City Grill, we decided to have "The Big Cheese." It wasn't so big. The burgers at the two Rock-n-Rogers were so huge, naturally we thought that Star City would have the same amount of burger for the buck. We thought wrong. It was tasty enough, I suppose, if you like half-done bun with your burger, but it just wasn' t all that satis satisfying. fying. At R-n-R South we tried the "Double Decker." It was a pretty large coupla chunks of meat; too bad that it wasn't cooked all the way through. Almost, but not quite. Then we traveled to R-n-R North. Viva la difference! We sampled the tasty Bacon Burger with Cheese and were happily pleased with the delectibly crispy bacon and the tastily toasted bun. Simply put, the food at both Rock-n-Rogers was better than the food at Star City Grill, but the food at Rock-n-Rogers RRS RRN SCG North was better than that at Rock-n-Rogers South. CQtOVLq J As far as prices go, StarCity Grill seems more reasonable (burger (burger-$4.75, $4.75, which included fries; milkshake- $2.25), but when you take into account portion size, their prices are average. Rock-n-Rogers, on the other hand, seems a bit pricey (burger- $5.85 without fries; shake- $3.25) until you see how much food you get. We spent a total of $7.00 at Star -City Grill and left semi-satisfied, whereas we spent $ 1 1 .25 and $ 1 2.05 (at North and South Rock-n-Rogers, respectively) and were stuffed to the gills. All in all, I decided that Rock-n-Rogers North was worth the money spent (in terms of quality and quan quantity tity of food eaten) while Rock-n-Rogers South needs to upgrade their quality before charging what they do and Star City Grill should basically just upgrade their, food (except for their milkshakes; as far as they're concerned, Star City just needs to give you more milkshake). I am happy to report that all three locations had extremely fine service, with friendly waitresses and a gener generally ally "happy" environment all around. At each establishment, the servers were dedicated to delivering food in a quick and efficient manner and re- ( turned to our table frequently to see if everything was all right.

It is my job to find worthy and decent films to review, and suffice it to say I have been hard pressed as of late. In my search, I even saw "Clerks," thanks to the caring and generosity of ASWU. The experience was inter interesting, esting, to say the least, and I now know that it was not the right choice for a date. Well, you live and learn. Finding nothing worth reviewing inhere, I moved on to the virtual plethora of choices available in the The Curse of By James Fujita Contributor Dinosaur nerds. Punk moths. Primitive UFOs. In the back of a barn, a mad-scientist farmer brings his cre creation ation to life- a Frankenstein cow. 5 Tiese are images that would seem to come out of some insane twisted sur surrealist realist nightmare. Rather than leaving you wanting to scream, of course, these ridiculous concepts are all meant to make you laugh. These are only a few mere 'samples of the creative genius that is Gary Larson. Through his cartoon, The Far Side, Larson has taken read readers ers into a world that is a stranger and weirder reflection of our own. His imaginative if eccentric little off-beat square single-panel strips have elicited responses of delight (and disgust) from America's newspaper readers for 15 years. His newest car cartoon toon collection, The Curse of Ma Madame dame "C" continues a tradition of craziness and silliness that shows that while Gary Larson may have slowed down in recent years, he hasn't lost his off-the-wall sense of humor. One panel shows three guys in a small boat, one of whom has an un unusually usually tall fishing cap. The caption reads, "Vern, Chuck and the Pope Go Fishing". While any good strip looks better on a page than when written out, some require little extra explanation, a typical Larson trait, such as the pun pun-laden laden "Ice Crusades," with Christian soldiers on skates, or the one cap- tioned, "Christmas morning 1837: Santa Anna's son, Juan, receives the original Davy Crockett hat." Larson got his start in 1978 draw drawing ing an amazingly unsuccessful strip for the Seattle Times called "Nature' s Way." Larson's style apparently left enough of the Times' readers shaking their heads trying to figure out the joke, or finding images of shark home movies too weird or too disgusting to be funny for the Seattle Times to fire him. At the time, Tacoma-native Larson had gone to San Francisco looking for a job with the Chronicle. By accident he ended up at Chronicle Features Syndicate, which liked the strip and gave it a new name, "The Far Side." In the last 1 5 years, The Far "Side has appeared in over 400 news newspapers papers across the US, with a huge Salem area. Finding myself at the ticket booth with few appetizing choices, I finally settled upon the newly-released "Roommates." To tell you the truth, I was really not expecting much at all. For Fortunately, tunately, I was pleasantly sur surprised prised by this film. It stars D.B. Sweeney as Michael and Peter Falk as his aging grandfather, I t's nice to have those films every once in a while that remind you of the good things in life, such as love, family and friends. Rocky. We first meet this rather odd couple when Michael is six and his grandfather is already in his late seventies, at the very least. When Michael loses both his par parents ents over a short period of time, his grandfather takes him in, as opposed to placing him in an orphanage. And thus begins a rather tumultuous rela relationship tionship that continues for over thirty Madame C following, including a large part of the scientific community. The strip's scientific side gave Gary Larson his own scientific name, Strigiphilus Garylarsoni (Chewing Lice), and a traveling Far Side natural history exhibit which appeared at the Smithsonian. The Far Side has also appeared as a animated cartoon spe special. cial. Unfortunately, Larson eventually got tired of cartooning, and quit Janu January ary 1, taking his rogue's gallery of cows, cavemen, spacemen, and little nerdy kids with him. Unlike his "burned-out" 15 15-month month sabbatical in 1989, however, this time, there will be no more of those wonderfully unusual and in inspired spired images- "God as a kid tries to create a chicken in his room" to chuckle or ponder over. Those few who didn't like the strip may be glad to have more time to fit the Family Circus into their day. In any case, Larson, like fellow cartoon cartoonist ist Berke Breathed, apparently felt that it was time to quit before the feature became stale. Of the Far Side's demise, colum columnist nist Alexander Cockburn wrote, "It' s nice to have someone who prefers to quit while he's ahead, and can afford to do so." Bill Watterson, who draws Calvin and Hobbes, takes frequent sabbaticals to keep the strip fresh. Breathed's Sunday-only strip, Out Out-land, land, which replaced Bloom County, will end in the upcoming weeks. Luckily, there will still be plenty of The Far Side calendars, mugs and assorted paraphernalia to go around. Especially important toward retain- S. U,, The Galleria, 4th fl.

Both can be rather stubborn and im impatient patient in deal dealing ing with each others' ways, but through itall they both know what is important in life. As Rocky says to Michael, as Michael is about to give his children away: "Family takes care of family." Simple as it sounds, it is a valu valuable able message to a society that really doesn't seem to give a damn about anything anymore.

His graduate work there will in include clude three years of coursework for his Ph.D., a joint degree in sociology and historical studies. Krabill's responsibilities here have included many aspects of ser service vice in the campus community. Among his many duties, Krabill plans and facilitates the New Student Orientation to Community Outreach (NSOCO) each summer, oversees several long-term student-led com community munity partnerships, and works with the Service Learning Task Force to integrate service learning into the curriculum here.

"Part of what's hard for me is having devel developed oped vision for the community out outreach reach program and not being able to be here to see it through," he said. One of Krabill's major goals has been to help implement service learn learning ing on campus. "I'm very, very proud of the progress that has been made in ser service vice learning. Both the expanding interest and the expanding knowl knowledge edge have been very encouraging to me," Krabill said. Director of Student Activities Cesie Delve-Scheuermann, previous COP director Kent Koth and the Service Learning Task Force have all been instrumental in this progress, he said. Another encouraging change in COP has been the increase in in involvement volvement with community partner partnerships, ships, and the wider variety of part partnerships nerships available. "I feel good about the student involvement and the student voice the program has continued to have," Krabill said.

According to Krabill, as COP has grown, it has become more difficult to oversee the community partner partnerships ships and to keep track of volunteer hours. "I think the biggest challenge for me has been staying on top of the growth of the program," he said. Now, as he prepares to transition into a new chapter of life, Krabill knows he is leaving much behind. "I will very much miss people -the students in particular, but also the staff. It has been fantastic to learn so much from students and to build the program together. I have felt very, very supported here by many people, and they have made all the difference in the world. And I'll miss Ultimate (Frisbee)," he said. Krabill said he is not concerned about the future of COP. "I have a great deal of faith in the people that have been involved in the program; I'm actually not worried about that," he said. "I see such a broad base of support for the program that I am not concerned that it will fall apart." Krabill said his strong ties to the program here will not go away when he leaves. "I believe very strongly in the Community Outreach Program at Willamette, and that belief and dedi dedication cation is not something that will go away when I leave. It's something I care very much about." AV0C AGEAS DFT0u)KJ U)HE THE. BURPEE OF U)&LFAE HAS feEJEiO UFTECP.THE. LOCALS JUST ARs)T 6eATX-UL.ytT.

The trips are open to all experience levels and non-members. Sign-up sheets for both trips and additional infor information mation are located at the UC Desk. When asked about the possi possibility bility of leading a trip to Weiser, Idaho, Mullen replied, "I don't think so, actually. You may be able to actually. Some people are going to Utah." Thanks Jen, we'll keep that in mind. Freshman Jason Cammarano will be heading on an exciting adventure this break. "A few months ago, I decided to attend the Circle-K Spring Conference," said Cammarano.

The men's forum, led by Coun Counselor selor Ben Coleman, met for the sec second ond time in the lounge of the Delta Tau Delta fraternity last Tuesday night to discuss these and other is issues. sues. Coleman began the forum by speaking about the need for men to state their positions articulately. "We're our own worst enemy," said Coleman, noting that most men ' s reactions to discussions about sexual harassment and other issues tend to be extreme. One of the major topics of dis discussion cussion was the posters which had advertised the event.

Since only one group wanted to meet with the finance board again, they worked it out during the week. Platform: Design criteria of budget process so groups under understand stand how decisions are made and to ensure that decisions are not made arbitrarily. Yes. Two-year Finance Board Member Ken Ray described this year's ASWU budget as "the fairest and most equitable budget that I have seen." "Which woman would you rather date?" Coleman cautioned against blaming the criticism of the posters on reverse sexism. One student pointed out the paranoia surrounding a group of men meeting together. "They think we're some kind of fascist group that's going to take back the old days," said the student. Although he noted that reverse sexism does exist, Coleman said, "We are not victims." He said that the best response to reverse sexism is gentle humor. The men also spoke about ways to earn the trust of women and meth methods ods of communi- eating more clearly and hon honestly. estly. Coleman ended by talking about his experi experiences ences and ideas of how men deal with their emotions. According to Coleman, most men are unable to express or understand their primary emotions, such as hurt, sadness, fear and loss. Instead of feeliong these emotions, they feel anger, a second secondary ary emotion. "Men in this culture tend not to understand that they have primary emotions," said Coleman. Instead, they just have "this gigantic one emotion that we carry around that's like a pistol." The group's next meeting will be held in the WISH lounge at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, April 4.

The greatest source of concern, however, has been the three in instances stances of arson in the dorm. In the first two instances, posters on bul bulletin letin boards in the halls were set on fire. These two fires occurred five days apart. The second fire was started on a poster for African-American His History tory Month, leading Campus Safety to believe that the act could be related to racism. On March 1, a third fire was set, this time on a poster on a student's door. Stout said that Campus Safety has also received reports of harass harassing ing phone calls and one incident over e-mail. After Stout laid the factual foun foundation dation for the discussion, Gunnar Gundersen, Executive Director of Academic Affairs for TIUA, ex explained plained TIUA's efforts to help the Japanese students cope with the situation. The TIUA administra administration tion has made counselors available for any students wishing to talk about the incident. According to Ryuji Torihara, Executive Director of Administra Administrative tive Affairs at TIUA, the counsel counseling ing brought the students' feelings to light. "They are somehow blaming themselves," he said, "they are afraid and feel guilty about causing a problem." The counseling efforts last week were aimed at reassuring the students that these incidents are not their fault. "I think they're feel feeling ing a little bit reassured," Torihara said. He believes that the support the students have received from fac faculty ulty and students has helped the most. In addition to counseling the students, Torihara has tried to reas reassure sure their parents. He sent letters to the parents of TIUA students "assuring them that the Willamette Community and TIUA are indignant about the whole thing." In return, the Dean of Interna International tional Students at Tokyo Interna International tional sent letters to the Japanese students at TIUA in order to reas reassure sure them. Several of the faculty members present at the briefing questioned the speakers and added their input to the discussion. A few asked Gundersen how they could help reassure the TIUA students. He told them the best way would be through individual sup support port and comfort of each student they were friends with.. Richard Biffle, Professor of Education, expressed his concern with the way the Willamette com community munity deals with racism on cam campus. pus. "This is nothing new," he said. "When does the Willamette com community munity come together in the sense of what a community really is?" Freshman Emily Strang mir mirrored rored his sentiments. "At this col college, lege, where education is so stressed, for this issue to be swept under the rug is wrong," she said. Strang had a momentary glimpse into the effects of racism when her door was burned last week. "I knew that isolation; it's an awful feeling," she said. by M.E. Freeman Associated Press A state senator has proposed limiting operations at amusement centers like the kids-oriented Chuck E Cheese pizza parlors, saying their games could be considered gam gambling bling under state law. "I think it's a little bit of a stretch," said Dick Huston, execu executive tive vice president for marketing at Showbiz Pizza Time Inc., which operates or franchises 327 restau restaurants rants named for the plump gray mouse. Sen. Jodie Mahony, D-El Dorado, has sponsored a bill to limit coin-operated games from award awarding ing non-cash prizes worth more than $50. He said some companies offer children prizes worth as much as $200 - or 10 times what it costs to win such a prize. Mahony said his bill is meant to draw a line showing where harm harmless less amusements end and gambling begins. It passed the state Senate Thursday on a 31-1 vote. "It kind of sets a level at which I think there's a general community feeling that this is not gambling," Mahony said. Mahony said he was not using Chuck E Cheese "as an example of someone who was abusing it and I certainly would apologize to Chuck E Cheese if that's the impression that came off." At the restaurants, located in 45 states, children are given gold to tokens kens to use in coin-operated rides and arcade games. Tickets are awarded based on how a child - or adult - fares at skeeball, basketball shooting and other games. There' s even Bozo the Clown' s ping pong ball toss.

Vernon Nazarene (Ohio) 96-69 at the na national tional tournament in Nampa, Idaho. Teamwork, rebounding, 3 3-point point de defense fense and an all a o r u n d consistant game, were the keys to t h e Bearcat victory. After "W e picked up our defense 100 percent. This is how we play Bearcat basketball. We want another (national championship)," junior starting forward Andy Hakala, got in early foul trouble, senior forward Lance Richards came on to have the game of his career and inspire the Bearcats. Willamette was in control early, dominating every facet of the game. They killed Mt. Vernon on the boards, holding a44-24 advantage. Still, what won the game for the Bearcats in the end was their tre tremendous mendous defensive effort. Senior all-conference guard Dave Snyder dominated Mt. Vernon's top scorer Brad Pennington, holding him to two meaningless free throws. "Snyder did a great job on Pennington," said Head Coach Gordie James. Not only was Snyder's defense impressive, but the entire team held Mt. Vernon under 80 points for only the second time this season. Mt. Vernon, who averaged over 100 points per game during the regular season, could not find their shooting touch, hitting only nine of V Lacrosse Men want to playing new by Matt Kosderka Staff Writer It has been a rough start for Willamette's lacrosse team this year, but no one is to blame. The team is filled with first yearplay yearplay-ers ers and it has shown, as they have been defeated by large margins by both Linfield 21-0 and Whitman 29-0. Despite starting the season with two disappointing defeats, the team knows that it will take some time before they establish a winning tradition. "We've got a lot of new new-guys," guys," said freshman lacrosse player Scott Turnbull. "I looked at our team against Whitman, and more than half of our team were only playing their second 40 3-point attempts. Their 69 total points was over 30 points under their average. They had scored over 100 points 12 times this season, with their only point total under 80 points coming at the hands of a Division I school. "We picked up our defense 100 percent," said senior wing Jason Thompson. "This is how we play Bearcat basketball. We want an another other (national championship)." Not only did the Bearcats domi dominate nate the defensive end, but they did so on the offesive end as well. They established a controlled pace early in the game, and with sophomore guard Mike Hayter's 3-pointer at the end of the first half, the Bearcats took a 49- 24 lead to the locker room. Any hopes of a Bearcat slump in the second half were quickly put to rest, as Senior guard they held Jason Thompson cir twenties throughout the entire half. "The po potential tential has been there all season," said unofficial cheerleader John Rodgers. "We just haven't played like Bearcats." Willamette featured a balnced scoring attack, as every player saw action and scored at least one point. Richards had two team highs, with 23 points and 12 rebounds. Snyder had 17pointstogo along with his stellar defensive effort. Junior forward Cavan Scanlan dropped in 15 points, while Th Thompson ompson chipped in 1 1 points. Senior guard R.J. Adelman had a tremendous all around game, con contributing tributing 13 points, 11 rebounds, and 7 assists. "We ran our offense with a lot of patience," said James of his team's offensive effort. "We re rebounded bounded them really hard." With the Bearcat's upset win, they will now take on 4th seed Indi Indiana ana Tech tonight at 9:45 p.m. Indi improve, add a win by competition this weekend lacrosse game." Willamette has spent a ma1 jority of their games defending their own goal, which is the main reason they haven't got gotten ten in the score book this sea season. son. They felt that when they score that first goal, things will change, and their confidence will build. This weekend will present another opportunity for the team to get on track, as they travel to Lewis & Clark tomorrow and to the University of Oregon on Sunday. Both Linfield and Whitman have an official coach and a larger budget than Willamette. Some players feel that it shows in how the teams perform. Lewis & Clark, on the other ana tech, who sports a 23-5 record, almost didn't advance to the second round, as they got a big time scare from little know Westbrook Col College lege (Maine). Indiana Tech found themselves trailing by 1 0 points at the half, but were able to come back and pull out a three point victory, 84-81. If the Bearcats are to knock off another ranked opponent tonight, they must shutdown IndianaTech's Dale Blassingame and Dwayne Tubbs. Blassingame had 28 points and 1 2 rebounds, while Tubbs threw in 23 points in their come from behind victory last night.

When they entered the tourna tournament, ment, the Bearcats were not consid considered ered one of the favorites, despite winning the title two years ago and reaching the quarterfinals last sea season. son. The oversight does not sit too well with Snyder. "It's a whole new season," he said. "It's the team that plays the best for five games, for 40 minutes." Willamette may have one of the poorest records of the tournament field, but the one thing that they do have is experience. Both Snyder and Thompson were big parts in the bearcat's national championship season two years ago. There is a possibilty that, if Willamette can continue to knock of seeded opponents, they could meet up with rival Lewis & Clark for the National Championship. Lewis & Clark, who is in the bracket opposite of Willamette, adavanced to the second round on Wednesday, as they absolutely drubbed 14th seed Edgewood in their first round match up, 85-56. Northwest Conference Most Valuable Player, Dinari Foreman, who is one of the top scorers in the country, led his team to victory by scoring a team high 22 points. Willamette would love to win another national title. Doing so by beating Lewis & Clark, would be even sweeter. Either way, the Bearcats would gladly accept an another other championship trophy. hand, does not have an established program, therefore Willamette's chances of racking up their first win of the season are good, some players said. "A lot of the team wants to beat Lewis & Clark," said Turnbull. "We're looking forward to the game, but we're also look looking ing forward to scoring." Nothing could be better for the inexperienced Bearcats than a win. Time will only tell how much they will improve, but two victo victories ries this weekend will bring them up to a .500 team, which would be a huge confidence builder. After all, all the team needs, is a little confidence to set them on the right road to building a winner. 1995 NAIA Division II Men's Basketball Championsliip March 8-14, Nampa, Idaho 13 Mt.

Head coach Brad Victor was pleased with the team's opening meet, noting that "everyone com competed peted welL.we had some pretty good times and some pretty good marks." Approximately 60 Bearcats competed in the day's events. Among those, 13 members man managed aged to qualify early for the NCIC championship meet, and 3 com competitors petitors recorded personal bests. Shaun Bailey threw a personal best in the javelin, marking 204'8". The outstanding performance, a 17 foot record for Bailey, qualified him for the NAIA national track and field meet. Allan Heinly also competed partial bracket A extremely well. Heinly managed a personal best mark in the triple j ump with a jump of 46' 1". Heinly also won the pole vault, vaulting 15' even, and placed second in the long jump. . Sophomore Sarah Egglestone ran extremelywell, racing to a per personal sonal best in the 1500 meter run, with a time of 4:56. This time easily qualified her for the conference championships. Freshman Ocean Kuykendall also stepped up to the occasion, placing first in the 100 meter dash. The Bearcats head for the Linfield Icebreaker in McMinnville on Saturday, where Victor believes the team will have the opportunity to "compete against a lot of indi indi-viduals viduals that they won't regularly see throughout the season." The Icebreaker is a long meet, lasting from 10:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., so Victor is just hoping the weather will cooperate and allow the ath- letes to do their jobs. I Sports 15 March 10, 1995 TJ)e Collegian V Swimming Swim teams have impressive showing at nationals Willamette's women swim their way to national success while men make strong individual showings in Texas nationals. by Doug Lewis Staff Writer The men's and women's swim teams came back from nationals this week with a sense of accom accomplishment plishment and a little bit of resent resentment.; ment.; The women finished sixth in the Ijiation while the men came in at 16th. "I think we did great," said Head Coach Skip Kenitzer. "The women hadn't done this well in 14 years." They were led by the outstand outstanding ing performances of the relay teams. Every team on the women's squad qualified to become All-Americans. The foursome of sophomore Bonnie Bauer, junior Jen nifer Hodges, se senior nior ; Laura Juckeland, and Sophomore Danika Williams gained A1LAmfnVan ctn- tus in the 200 and they did, 400 freestyle, and the 200 and 400 medley. Williams and Hodges teamed up with sophomore Jean Orth and senior Kristi Erskine to earn the same honors in the 800 freestyle. : A team or individual becomes ' an All-American by placing in the op eight in their event. They earn honorable mention by placing in the top 16. The performances of the relay teams were particularly important because of the fact that they count for twice as many points as the V Tennis r-: i I I J , 1 If HP I I Z V Willamette's women's swim team (above) earned 6th place at the National Chamionship Meet, while the men's team, finished in 16th. The women's 6th place finish was their best in 14 years. They raced well and can feel good about how well individual events in the overall score. "I knew going in that our relays were going to have to come up big for us if we were going to do well, and they just really came through," Kenitzer said. The women came up big in the individual events as well. Juckeland, Wil Williams liams and Orth led the charge in their respective events. Juckeland placed eighth in the 100 backstroke and fifth in the 200 "back. She also finished 12th in the 200 individual medley. Williams finished eighth in the 50 and 1 00 freestyle, and 1 0th in the 100 butterfly. Like Juckeland and Williams, Orth was also a two-time All-American and a one-time hon honorable orable mention by coming in eighth in the 500 free, third in the 1650 Skip Kenitzer Swimming Coach free and 16th in the 200 butterfly. Other swimmers who earned All-American status in individual events were Erskine in the 1650 freestyle and Hodges in the 100 butterfly. Hodges would have also placed in the 200 butterfly, but was dis disqualified qualified for an illegal turn. It was events such as this that left a somewhat sour taste in Kenitzer's mouth. "She had been turning that way all year round," he said. "She even turned like that earlier in the meet. They just de decided cided to call her on it on Saturday." If Hodges had not been docked, the team could have used her points to finish fourth. "You know, it's the type of thing that you pout about for five minutes," Kenitzer said. "That's just the way I am. You're down for five minutes and then you go on. There's nothing you can do." Kenitzer was right on when he said that they did not stay down long. The women proceeded to set school records left and right in the VILf : I A - rr II "--- r.i&i finals on Saturday. Hodges set one in the 100 butterfly with a time of 1 :00.2 1 , while Juckeland set records in all three of her events. She did so in the 200 IM (2:14.68), 100 back (1:00.04), and the 200 back (2:07.98). The 200 and 400 medely relay teams also set school records with times of 4:08.28, and 1:52.97, re respectively. spectively. Although the men did not have the sheer numbers of the women, they did have numerous individuals and relay teams finished well. Senior Tim Roth headed the team by setting a personal record in the 100 breast stroke to finish 14th with a time of 1 :00.20. Seniors Kirk Foster and Brandon Hundley also had personal bests in the 800 freestyle and 200 backstroke, re respectively. spectively. Like the women, the men had succssful relay teams. The team of freshman Jesse Campos, Foster, Handely and Roth became All All-Americans Americans by finishing 13th in the 200 medley relay and 14th in the 400 medley. Freshman Al Biss, sophomore Michael Mahoney, Foster and Hundley placed 14th in the 800 freestyle relay. Kenitzer was pleased with the way his men swam, but felt as though they were shorted a little by the judges. "I think the men were kind of snake-bit," he said. "There were a couple of close calls that, if they would have gone our way, could have helped us move up a couple spots in the end." You can't really focus on that though," Kenitzer said. "They raced well and can feel good for how well they did." Men's team picks up first win over WWSC, women set for Whitman i r by Doug Lewis Staff Writer Stephanie Hamai strains to return an opponent's shot. The women struggled with the rain this past week, while the men earned their first "Victory of the season. Both teams return to action this weekend. After suffering through three straight losses at the hands of Division-One schools to begin the sea season, son, the men's tennis team won their first match last weekend and have now won two of their last three. The Bearcats started off their success with a 6-3 win last Friday night against Western Washington in Tacoma. Senior Eric Norland, senior Allen Vestegard, sophomore Derek McCarthy, sophomore Mark Dedrick, and sophomore James Sites all won at their respective singles spots, while the team of Vestegard and senior Jim Barrett won at number two doubles. "The win against Western Washington was a good victory," Dedrick said. The celebration of their first win was quickly cut short by a 1-9 loss to the University of Puget Sound. Going into the match, Head Coach Russ Beaton knew it would be tough, and it proved to be so down to the last man. "They are a good team and we lost three, three set matches," Beaton said. "Playing them on their home court is especially tough. They play indoors so you have to adjust to a lot of new things." The Bearcats also had to play through their own version of jet jet-lag. lag. The match against Western Washington did not get over until 11:30 Friday night and the team, after stopping to eat, did not get to bed until early Saturday morning. They then had to be up and ready to go on the courts at 9:00 that morn morning. ing. "I think everyone was pretty tired," said Beaton. "That definitely played a role in us losing those three setters." The only winnerfor Willamette was Norland at the number one singles position. After the setback at UPS, they got back on the winning track Tues Tuesday day by beating Pacific 9-0. "We played pretty well but they were pretty feeble," Beaton said. "They lost a couple of guys from last year I thought they would have, so it wasn't as tough." "Pacific wasn't as challenging as we thought they would be," Dedrick said. "They were fairly competitive last year so we expected a closer match." The men had a match yesterday against Linfield, but results were not available when The Collegian went to press. While the men have had four matches in the last week, the Willamette women have not played a match in the last week and a half. They were scheduled to play Or Oregon egon State University last Saturday but the match was rained out. The next opponent up for the Bearcats is Whitman College on Saturday at 3 p.m. The women have faired well against them in the past and hope to do so again this year according to Head Coach Molly Sigado. "We have beaten them 9-0 the last two years so we feel pretty confident going in," she said. The Whitman match also marks the beginging of the conference sea season son for the Bearcats. "We are ex excited cited because this is our first regular season match," Sigado said. The women were scheduled to play Portland Stale University to today day but the match was cancelled earlier in the week. They play Lewis & Clark on Thursday al home at 3 p.m. in what is their final match before spring break. The men play Whitman on Sun Sunday day at 9 a.m. News 16 March 10, 1995 TJje Collecian Bistro: Current managers hope to make profit Continued from page 1 and did not keep up with its accounting on a day to day basis. The Business Office took four to twelve weeks to report an expense, and thus the reports that the Bistro got back were often misleading. The Bistro might receive a report of their balance having a surplus when in fact their balance was negative. This year, Duvoisin, using her personal computer, has kept track of day to day ex expenses, penses, and can determine the Bistro's bal balance ance on any given day. One exception is payroll, which still takes a few weeks to get through the Business Office. The accounting system, which puts the responsibility in the hands of the Bistro managers, is "innovative," said Howell. To give employees and managers incen incentive tive in making the Bistro a profit-making entity, or at least one which does not lose money, the managers have devised a profit sharing program. Any profit the Bistro might make would be split among employees. "Profit sharing will help get the most out of the Bistro. People would work harder, which would help the customer. Customers would receive better service and a better prod product," uct," said Duvoisin, who also noted that cor corporations porations in America have instituted similar programs successfully. Some question whether giving the Bistro employees more money would actually fix the problem, since the managers are already among the highest paid student workers on campus. In the 1993-94 academic year, the two Bistro managers each made approximately $7,000 a year, according to one source, for thirty hours a week of work. In contrast, ASWU officers have made $2,500 a year with no increase in pay for the last four years, although their salary will be increased to $2,750 for the next academic year. "I think it's unfair that Bistro managers make that much money, especially when you look at other salaries. It's unfair to people who work harder and get paid less," said Mark Friel, Darkroom Manager, who makes $262 a month as Darkroom Manager. Friel noted that the Darkroom Manager' s salary has decreased from four years ago, when the Darkroom Manager was paid $600-$80O a month. According to Duvoisin, managers negoti negotiate ate their salaries after receiving the jobs. "The salary is approved by Michelle Howell and Stuart Tennant. They seem to think it's fair, and so do I." The salaries of the Bistro managers have been steadily increasing over the past few years. Three years ago, the three Bistro man managers agers received $680 a month, and two years ago the two managers made $730 a month. The Bistro first began operating at the beginning of the 1986 academic year. The University granted free use of the space in the University Center, and has continued to ab absorb sorb the costs of utilities, so that the Bistro's main operating expenses are labor and mate material rial costs. The Bistro was also given $20,000 for initial purchases of equipment, and additional repair and equipment costs have also been paid for by the University, based on proposals submitted by the managers. The money to operate the Bistro comes from the University's main operating budget, which consists of student tuition dollars, and therefore is supervised through Robert Olsen, Budget Director and Controller, and Michelle Howell, Assistant Director of Student Activi Activities ties and the University Center. ASWU: Officers propose change Continued from page 1 Treasurer Kate Kenski then proposed that discussion time be limited to one minute per speaker. Lausanne Senator Matt Hindmancommented that, "Democracy is inherently inefficient. If you believe in the values of democracy, you will let everyone have their say." A vocal antagonist to the bill, Shepard Senator Alan Fleischman thought the bill would defeat the entire purpose of student government. "It would be a grave error to adjust the Senate such that it is no longer a true representation of the student body. Representative government is an ideal that applies not only to our national govern government, ment, but to our student government as well," said Hindman. In the end the bill was tabled. The bill will come up under old business at next week's meeting. Commenting on the bill, Vice Presi President dent Willie Smith said, "I am in favor of changing the structure of senate; not neces necessarily sarily with this bill, but I think Senate should be down-sized."

According to Olsen, when the Bistro loses money, the losses are made up through the general operating budget. The losses, which total $30,147 since 1986, are not significant, said Olsen. "The overruns in the past haven't been large compared to the service offered. . . it's a great alternative program," said Olsen. Al Although though the problem isn't serious enough as yet to concern the administration, such as Brian Hardin, Vice President of Financial Affairs, Student Activities should be con concerned, cerned, in Olsen's opinion. Questions still remain, however, about the extent to which the Bistro is a business as opposed to a service, and whether there should be reform in the way it is handled. "The Bistro is defined as a service," said Duvoisin. She noted that, unlike the managers of independent coffee shops, Bistro managers must clear proposals through the "UC bureau bureaucracy" cracy" and the Business Office. "It is a busi- cup of hot coffee. ness, but it isn't," Duvoisin added. Rudd noted that one of the selling points of the Bistro is that it provides non-work study jobs for students.

This increases the administrative burden on ba managers. Since all of the Bistro's workers work part-time shifts of two and a half hours, there are always a lot of workers coming in and out. Duvoisin noted that since workers are given a meal to eat on their shift, the constant influx and exit of workers adds up to a lot of frc meals given out. Managers have cut down on this to an extent by limiting how much can be eaten per employee per shift. Rules such as this have helped the Bistro assume a more business-like approach. TillfllSDAY!
