I A.S. considers dropping SNAP Columbine High

I cried on Sunday when I watched a memorial service where 13 doves were released in memory of 12 students and one teacher who were murdered last week. About 70,000 mourners watched the doves t1y out into a dark sky full of rain clouds, still unceltain why this tragedy occurred. It was raining that afternoon. I like to think that God was crying. I can think of little else to write about other than the Columbine killings. I watch the news and tears come to my eyes, I tum off the news ano I can't get the thought out of my mind.

Growing up High school is such an awk­

ward time in children's lives. They make this transition from adolescence to adulthood in four short years. ExpectHtions and peer pressure surface between proms and acne problems.

Why couldn't Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris look beyond their experiences in high schaar? Why couldn't they see a world ahead of them that isn't judgmental. that doesn't stereotype, that does­n't put people down because of what they look like or where they come from'? Well, probably because such a world doesn't exist. I don't want to blame any­body. We live in a society that has taught us to reject a person who doesn't fit our ideal. I wunt to blame a society that will never ch.1I1ge, one that will always cause people pain.

Acting locally After the Columbine

killings, Kathi Theile, head counselor at Pleasant Valley High School, said teachers opened up cltlsS by allowing students to cxpress their thoughts. "At our school, what this brought to light is we have to kccp the doors open to C0111-

munication." Anger, cmotion management and growing puins have becn on Theile's mind since she heard of the murders.

She suid two campus pro­gnlms help students resolve problems peacefully. Peer coun­seling and conflict mediation often successfully resolve tough teenage issues like fighting over un ex-boyfriend or resolving raciul differences, she said.

But even with the local high school's incl'euscd cumpus supervision und con stunt police prescnce, high school safety may be il conccm from now on.

Theile called the Columbine killings U real loss of American culture innoccnce. "You WUllt to pinch yourself und say, 'pleuse don't let this be our wol'ld.'''

It was supposed to be the per­fect student safety program. When a weekend party got the inevitable noise complaint, stu­dents, not cops, would stop by and offer advice, not citations. But two years and $5,000 later, the Associated Students may be shutting its pocket book on this

not-so-perfect program. Claiming that the Studcnt

A flier will be gracing faculty and staff mailboxes shortly which has the ability to lessen homophobia LlI1d opcn channels of communication. The !lier. is the first step in the Safe Zone Project, started by the University Housing and Food Services.

Safe Zone, is a nationwide program on school campuses to provide a safe environment for gay, Icsbi:1I1, bisexual and transgender (GLI~T) students.

provides a safe place to talk about sexuality.

The program identifies individ­uals who can provide a safe haven, a listening car, and ,111 open accessibility for students. The individuals, or Allies. are then trained, educated, and provided with resources to :Issist students.

Students will be able to identify Allies by the Safe Zone symbol. which they can post in their office.

Thc symbol combines g,ly-

pride symbols with local flavor. "Allies arc simply Allies. It

doesn't mean their own sexuality, political. or religious view is under question." said Lorraine Smith, Associate Director of Advising and Orientation.

The program founders hope to get faculty and staff interest in the remainder of the semester. Next fall, the program will kick into full gear.

"Were taking small steps. We hope to have everything in place by National Coming Out D,ly in October," said Larry Bassow, Coordinator of Off-Campus Housing and Marketing.

"Our efforts arc campus-wide, but we'd like to sec community involvement and identify resources," Bassow said.

The program is designed for gny, lesbian, bisexunl and transgender students because it isn't always easy to tell who they are, Smith said.

The progrnm also targets people who directly influence the students lives. such as their professors and resident advisors.

Another benefit to going on thc Internet will be the demo­graphic information the RealAudio soltwarc provides.

'Outsourcing' becomes hot topic with A.S. Food Sen1ices Mary Weston Staff"'r!,..,.

The mention of golden arch­es, pDI yester LIn i forms :lOd McDon,lId's hats showing up ill the Associated Students food service <Irena rekindled an old argument about "outsourcing" at Chico State University.

Bob Ray, former president of the Chico State Democratic Club. s,lid outsourcing means renting the Associated ~Studellts food service to independent busi­nesscs.

Ray s:lid the idea came lip two years ago when he workcd ror the A.S. food servicc. At that time, Ray said A.S. considered renting out food service to corporations like MC\)(lIlald's and Taco Bell, but they decided to kcep it under student control.

Rec\!ntly. rUlllors ubollt out­sourcing h:lvc tl'lred up 011 calll­pus Llgain,

"It i, sad that a fcw peoplc could J1()~sihly give aW:I)' one of thc last studellt owned and oper­atcd fond s\!rvices in the coulltry," he said.

Ray said the recent controver­sy began when Greg MLlrtinez. AS. dircctur of busincss and chair of A.S. husincss commit­tee. sent all e-mail message to AS. I'resillent Richard EIsa"m.

"I will bring to my commit­tee the possihirity of outsourc­ing food s\!rvice. I have been doing :1 lot of lobbying for Ihis, so I think I have enough support to get it passed. Relllemher it will take a two-thirds plus one vote to tllrn it over at the B.O.D. IA.S. Board of Directorsl, and you don'l have that," Martinez wrote,

have enough student votes to turn it down by the two-thirds plus one that is required.

"I would like to see thl: A.S. bylaws amended." hc said.

Ray said two more studcnts should be addeu to A.S.B.C .. and B.O.D should he able tn vote down a propos:1I by a majority vote - or two-thirds.

"Right now, A.S.B.C. can make a decision abollt fond ser­vice and ram it down the students throats." he said.

It comes down to necding more checks .lIld balanccs for A.S.B.C., Ray said.

However, Martinez said it's about politil·s.

"This is just a part of :1 power struggle hetwecn the two major br'lI1ches of A.S. government." he said.

He said Elsol11 had told him he would undo everything Murtinez had accomplished aftl.!r Martinez leaves ortice in t\\'o months.

Martinez said hc rut the I.!­mail at thl.! end of a political debate between himself and Eisom. :IS a threat. hilt he had nn intcntions of carrying it nut.

"It was ,I private political power debat!.! between Elsolll anu myself:' Martincz said.

Mal1illez said he madc busi­ness decisions that havc hrought food ser\' iccs out of the holc.

"This is the lirst year in a dec:lde. that fond service is expected to make a small profit." hc said.

Martinez said hc received the Outstanding Student Award last l1lolllh. partly because of his work with food services .

He said he has initiateu sever­al changes thai will take place next year, lIe made a deal with thc Univcrsity to move food scr­vices into Colusa Hall for a ycar, while Ikll Ml~morial Union i5 heing remodeled.

Martinez said BUlle Station. which is a temporary huilding. will he,moved 10 Modoc llall so food service will be available there.

He said Buttc Station will be replaced with u larger huild­ing of 1.2()O squarl' feet. and it will ollcr a lurger selection of food.

Northridge Pride Week brings issues out of closet

Pride Week kicked off last Monday with a panel discussion on the acceptance of gay and lesbian students in schools and families. the Daily Sundial reported.

"Accepting Queer Students" was designed to bring awareness that gays and lesbians arc shunned by society and need to be supported by everyone in their communities, said Amber M. Kiel, coordinator of Pride Week.

The keynote speakers for the discussion were Sheri A. Lunn. office administrator for the Los Angeles Gay and Lesbian Center. and Lynette Sperber, member of the Los Angeles chap­ter of Parents. Families and Friends of Lesbians and Gays.

Lunn talked to the audience about the organization she works with. as well as the importance of AB-222. the Dignity for All Students Act. The act adds sexual discrimination to schools' non-discrimination policies, she said.

Sacramento Spring break may move

The Faculty Senate is conSidering a plan that would change the timing of Spring Break so it would no longer coincide with Easter, the Hornet reported.

The Senate is considering approving a schedule that would place Spring Break at April 9 through April 13 in the year 2001 and March 25 through 29 in 2002.

Next year. Easter comes late in the semester and Spring break is scheduled for April 17 through April 21. That means students will have II weeks of classes before Spring Break and would return to campus with only four weeks of classes left.

The proposal for the Spring Break schedule will have a second reading at the next Faculty Senate meeting on April 22. during which the Senate may choose to adopt the schedule or amend it.

. rally. the Runner reported. Billed as a "teach in." the event will be complete with speak­

ers. food and live music. Details of the walk-out were gOlle over last Friday afternoon by more than 40 faculty members.

CalTeach: 20,000 are teaching with waivers I continuedji'Oll/ p. J

"We saw a real big increase in the number of people visiting our Web site." Marubayashi said.

CalTeach launched a massive promotional campaign to try to recruit teachers. The ad campaign also targets ethnic minorities and culturally diverse popUlations, because there is a shortage of teachers in that area. There is also a shortage of teachers in the urea of Math and Science.

Because of the overwhelming demand, many teachers arc hired without their credentials. There are 20.000 teachers teach-

ing with waivers right now. Marubayashi said.

"A lot -:;f E~achers are teaching in areas that they arc not prol1-cient," he said.

Marubayashi said it is impossi­ble to sec how well the CalTeach campaign will work, but the real way to get teachers is with money.

"Teachers mold our future and they need the respect they once had by increasing salary and prestige," he said.

There are bills in congress right now that are aimed at rais­ing the salary of teachers. and currently there are some other

progranls geared toward rewarding teachers.

There is something called an assumable loan, Marubayashi said. That means if a teacher teaches for more than four years in a district designated as "high need," the government will aSSllme all student loans that the teacher has.

And the list for designated "high need" areas is not shall. M'lI1.lbayashi said. "It·s a long list."

"1' m happy that there is a need for teachers, it makes my life a little easier when I'm look­ing for a job." said Gary Livick,

a Chico State student and liberal studies major.

Livick is one of many liberal studies majors that is going to try to enter the teaching profession without his credcntial, in hopes the need for teachers is that great.

"I can get a job with out a cre­dential in districts like L.A.~but because demand for te'lche·rs is so high I will probably be able to get a job in the area I walll 'to teach." Livick said.

Students at Chico State can sign up for CalTeach in the Carecr Center and receive free book­l11urks and Great Clips coupons.

The theme of the parade, in its fourth year, emphasizes "Unity in the Community." "The parade is an opportunity to bring the community and students together in a positive atmosphere," said Lisa Stratton, people parade coordinator.

Burglary: Students are an easy target for theft, police said I continued fmlll p. J the girls that lived there.

He said he did, and not to worry about it. She said, "1 don't think you do." He pushed her and ran outside and she started chasing him down the street.

Senior Joseph Martinezwas-· outside his house, just a few doors down, when he heard someone yelling and scream­ing. A guy ran by holding a purse and his neighbor was run­ning behind him saying he had stolen stuff from their other neighbors' house.

Martinez and his downstairs neighbor started chasing the man. The neighbor gave up after the first block, but Martinez ran all the way to Hazel before he was able to grab the man.

"I reached for him but got a hold or the back pack," MarLinez said. "Right before 1 gol there 1 was thinking, 'What should 1 do? What should I do? Should I tack­le him?' The backpack fell olT him and that decided it for me. Plus he was a pretty big guy. I-Ie

didn't seemlhat big when he ran by, but once 1 got close to him I realized he was big."

Martinez's other neighbors pulled lip in a car seconds latcr and the Illen pursued him for a while by car ul1lil they lost him.

"The guy ,vas fast. It was kind of scary. But at first you don't think about it. I'm friends with my neighbors and some guy was running away with their stuff. So I chased him."

Senior Melissa Carlon was outside the Pi Betu Phi house whcn her neighbors pulled up in their car.

"They asked me if I had seen a guy wearing a bright orange shirt and silver shoes. They told me he had just broken into my house," she said.

Carlon went inside and called the police, and found her three roommates and returned lo their house.

"The police told us it happens all the time and they probably wOlildn't lind the guy. An hour later our neighbors called from

The police returned and picked up the first neighbor wh() chased the man. She identitied him and he was arrested.

"!l's a neat story. Ollr neigh­bors s:lved us. They all callie together because they were look­ing out for us. lL was a cOlllllluni­ty efrort, really," Mervin said.

The man ended up having an arrest record and had just heen released on parole a week bL!i"ore, Mervin said.

Dave Genova. the community olltreach officer fiJI' the Chico Pulice De[1artment, said crimi­nals know students arc an easy target for theft.

"Students share houses ,llld apartments with three to fOllr to live people living together. It's harder to take security measures with th'll mally people," Genova said. "A lot of times each person has their own stereo ami COIll[1ut­er. Criminals can get enough property that is the equivalent of four houses,"

Genova said students arc tar­gets for burglary more so in the spring bectluse people spend more ti Ille away from home and are more likely to leave doors .lnd windows open when the weather is good.

SNAP: Butte College newest partner in student patrolling .1 c:ontinued from p. J cer's nightly logs showed them 'niainly making pre-party contacts und simply patrolling the streets. Some nights, the om­cers spent hOUI'S just driving around looking out for potential problems, but not making any slOps or contacts.

Lusardi and A.S. President Richllrd Elsom believe the lack of mediution the oflicers arc involved in is the result of pOOl' tmining und management.

"We see the employee logs and it's not the employees, it's how they're being trained by the police dCplIftl11ent," she said.

He too feels mediation is job one fot' SNAP, but he thinks the A.S. needs to give the program some time.

"You have to be able to come to agreements," he said. "It's u new progrum. It's still in its inrancy."

As with ull new pmgrul1ls, Gcnovn snys there needs to be time to"sl11ooth out the rough spots."

On the list of "rough spots" wus lin issue where SNAP orticllrs Wllrc being usked to wutch the police cm's while the police broke up purlies. To Elsom, this wus the "lust stmw."

Voluntary or not, Reed must go On March 28, the California

Faculty Association unanimously passed a strike vote in Los Angeles. in response to the California State University sys­tem's imposing their "final. best offer" contract on the union.

The CFA wanted a 6 percent pil), raise - to put its members to within 5 percent of salaries at comparable schools - all they got was 5 percent, which actual­Iv worked. out to 4.25 percent. ;;nd an unacceptable merit-pay system. according to .1 recent CFA report.

All sides - which. rightly, should include faculty, the CSU system, as well as CSU students. newspaper readers and editorial writers - have long tired of this frustrating exen.:ise in futility. All except. apparently. CSU Chancellor Charles Reed. During the course of these contruct negotiations, his only show of consistency has been to consis­tently make matters worse with his alleged "sense of humor."

In a recent st4ltement. Statewide Academic sen4ltors Edelman lli1d Spelli' say they have witnessed Reed in public appciU<lI1CeS char­acterizing t~lculty as "lazy and unwilling to change." He h,L'i also been heard to refer to faculty as being like misbehaving children,

Reed and his cronies have tried to playoff his actions as

being poor attempts at humor. And Reed offered what

Edelman and Spear tem1 a "so­called apology" in front of the Academic Senate: "What we wit­nessed .,. was a chancellor who was defensive. antagonistic, bom­bastic .. , Moreover, after his apol­ogy, when faculty rose to speak he was rude nnd combative_"

Edelman and Spear also came up with an interesting Nixon analogy: President Nixon resigned to avoid the stigma of impeachment.

If Reed has any honor. he should resign for his thoughtless­ness, irresponsibility and con­duct unbecoming the position of ch.mcellor to the nation's largest university system.

Reed has been a toxin, creat­ing an environment hannful to the system. Only by, removing this clement and starting anew may faculty-administronion rela­tions improve.

By resigning, Reed has the opportunity to show contrition for his behavior and devotion to the CSU: Reed can exercise the duty of his ortice, that of acting in the best interests of the CSU. and. in a final act, resign with dignity.

If. unlike Nixon. he is unwill­ing to bow out gmcefully. Gov. Gray Davis must take expedient action to remove Reed from office.

One, there has been too much time and energy invested in this program to throw in the towel. The closest thing Chico has

to such a group is the Student Neighborhood Assistance Pmgr~lm (SNAP). which so fm' has not lived up to the Associ'lted Students' expecta­tions of a group that would be able to mcdi~lte conl1icts, noise issucs <1nu other problems between students and police.

And two, SNAP will go on with 01' without A.S. funding. The A.S. shares SNAP's funding with the university and the police d.eparlmenl. Recently, Butte College also decided to put some money in the pot, so the A.S. will not have to spend as much as they have the past year.

Thc A.S. has spent a year try­ing to implement this program. and SNAP has been active for a year. Despite SNAP's many problems. including the fact that legally, the Chico Police can't

GIVE ME A

OF LIFE

" Parisa Kalantari Orlan Columnist

"You know what happens when you get to be 86? You become immoral," Simon suid.

This was the height of a conversation I had outside of Rite Aid with a gentlemen I had just met.

We had both been waiting in line for an 89 cent ice-cream cone, and he was obviously a regular since he knew the atten­dant by name. He was com­plaining about the price of gas and was enjoying making the employee guess how much he had paid for 15 gallons of gas.

Me, being the nosy, curious George 1 am, jumped in and. said, "Thirty-two dollars." , WOUldn't you know I was

right, besides u few pennies. So our conversation contin­

ued outside while we both demolished our sugar cones.

Cookies and cream dripping everywhere. I learned more about the life of an elder than I ever intended to discover.

I couldn't help but ask. "So, tell me. do you still have sex'!"

"Oh heavens, yes, and it's better th'lIl it ever was," he replied, .1 sneaky smile brighten­ing his wrinkled features.

I have to admit flashes of having a sugar daddy wellt through my mind,

but 1 figured Simon could eat me alive.

1-___ "

"Oh good, you give me hope." I sighed gratefully.

Simon Zucchini, or some­thing that sounded like that, went on to tell me about his love life, sex life, his fortunes made in the stock market. his hunting fetish, his years in the service and pretty much everything else that had happened to him since he was born in 1913.

And wow, I haven't lived. a day compared to the infamous Zucchini.

"I'm dating u 38-year-old. and guess where I've taken her." He looked at me.

"Where'?" "To bed," he chuckled. "Oh, you're just feisty, listen

to you!" 1 tlashcd him a humot·­ing look.

"No, I have. But she was in u·ouble. She's got a four-year­old at home vou know, and 1 have the money so I had to help hel-, She was having car

troubles and man troubles, the list just goes on. You want to see my car'? I promise 1 won't kidnap you," Simon asked, in hopes of showing off his pride-und-joy.

It was at this point I realized men never grow out of cherish­ing and loving their trusty autos.

"Sure. No, let me guess, it's the Caddie right there," I point­ed to a brand-new white Cadillac parked nearby.

A bit cliche, considering the preconceived notion that al\ old folks drive Cadillacs and luxury curs, but in this case the stereo­type was COlTecL

"Yup, I've been buying them since I learned how to drive. Me and my wife, before she passed away once took a road trip in one. I drove ull night until I was tired, 1 wus much younger then, and I showed her all of LA."

"Your wife'?" I inquired, "When'd she die?"

"About three years ago now. We were mlli'l'ied for 63 years, She was quite a looker. She used to model," Simon stared out into the night sky wistfully.

"Oh, I'll bet you miss her. How'd she die'?"

"Cancer." "What kind'?" "Throat. She stmted smoking

later in lire," he glanced at me. I tried feebly to hide my lit

Murlboro behind my back. 1 think the smoke wafting up from

"Yup. World War I and n.·My seven brothers and I were iM'a part of that one."

Eternally grateful my devious ploy of distraction had worked. I drew him further and fUl1her in convcrsation.

Before I knew it, we had been oUl there for over a hull' an hour, discussing his life and my , potential cureer after graduation in May, which I jokingly refer to as, "Would you like fries with thut? 1 can super-size it for,30 cents extra."

An open letter to students from CFA By the Chico State CFA executive Committee a.1I~st Commemary

._:.On Feb. 26, the California Faculty Association rejected a proposed contract with the California State University administration. The CFA turned down the contract despite a slight salary increase, because members believed that it seriously under­mined the quality of education in the CSU. On March 17, the chancellor of the CSU aban­doned the give-and-take of col­lective bargaining and unilateral­ly imposed temlS and conditions of employment affecting over20,OOO faculty at 22 CSU campuses. ~The CFA is the bargaining

agl'ilit of CSU faculty. Faculty are not (Cquired to join and pay dues, but about 7,500 of them (includ­ing ~ver 50 percent of full-time faculty) have elected to do so bediuse of their dedication to improving CSU's working and teaching conditions. That makes the',CFA the largest voluntary bj.ghcr-education faculty union in

:tb.tUnited States. Maybe you're won,dering whether the recent CFA vote affect'! you. If not, you should be. Anytime a university chancellor threatens to impose ;"veeping changes in the condi­tions of teaching and learning, after' the faculty just rejected thein, it will have serious conse-

quences for students. Why did members of the

CFA vote against the proposed contract?

First, because of a bogus "merit" pay plan that would have: - divided new and senior facul­ty in a two-tier system that denies new faculty the sanle pro­motion and step raises which senior faculty have had for many years. - given the CSU presidents full power to hand out large salary increases to their favorite faculty. Faculty who were respected by colleagues and recommended for raises by them could be passed over with no explanation from the president and no ability to appeal his decisions. Faculty seen as less meritorious by col­leagues but who gain favor with the president could get signifi­cant increases. - harmed working relationships among faculty who would be pit­ted against one another for raises and other benefits, instead of working together for the benefit of the students. - destroyed morale by making faculty nothing more than line workers who are "assembling" graduates to fit a mold designed by administrators.

Faculty at CSU have long enjoyed a real merit-pay system. the RTP (retention-tenure-promo­tion) process. This process

requires extensive and periodic evaluations of faculty by stu­dents, peer faculty and adminis­trators. The chancellor'S plan changes all of that.

Second, the proposed destruc­tion of the SSI (salary step increase) would also have deprived faculty of regular advances based on service over the course of their careers, hurt­ing lecturers and junior faculty in particuhu', by eliminating the main form of salary advance open to them.

Third, when we read that salalies nationwide are up 10 percent, we are demoralized that we are offered only 2.25 percent when we are already so far behind. But salaries are only one part of this contract. Chancellor Reed wants to dismantle the high standards of our educational community at CSU. He wants to treat you like "customers," but offers you a degraded degree. We are determined to stop him. You, our students, deserve the best.

What happens now that Chancellor Reed has imposed'?

We who teach in the CSU arc dedicated to our students and its public mission. We take our responsibilities seriously. We arc now carrying 7,000 unfunded students, statewide, as an over­load because of that commit­ment. We are the ones who deal with you on a daily basis, care about you, work with you and

learn from you. We are very reluctant to interfere with the nonnal progress of your educa­tion. But thcre are other ways your education can be disrupted besides protest actions we may have to call. And there are times we must both take action to pre­serve what is best in the CSU.

Since the chancellor has now imposed his own terms :lnd con­ditions, we'll have no alternative but to resist: to undertake job actions, to protest, and perhaps to strike. And if such a crisis comes to pass, remember that it occurred for entirely arbitrary reasons 011 the pall of the chan­cellor. No objective event (like a state budget cutback) caused it. No public report identified 40 percent of salary monies as the right remedy for a specified ilL

The eFA did not spark the contlict by introducing unreason­:lble demands. We hope that stu­dents, as well as their parents and significant others, understand the choices being forced upon CSU faculty in the weeks and montlls ahead. And we hope that you will support us in our light to keep the CS U an outstanding educa­tional institution. Though activi­ties in the weeks or semester ahead may depatl from your nor­mal assignments. we also invite you to remember that thev arc part of youreduclltion, to~ - not as "customers," but as partici­pants in democratic citizenship.

Anti-war activists still trapped in the past

Michael L.Puccl Guest COllllllelltary

· .'., 1 pity any man or woman ,Who walks on to a university c;:~mpus wearing an American nrmed forces uniform. By doing so, they become walking bulls eyes for radical so-called "peace activists" who long to return to tlieWoodstock values of the '60s: Either because of too n1uch consumption of mind­

.altering chemicals or the desire t'o:te~live old history, these free thrllkers believe that it is the year' 1969 rather then 1999 and .act out accordingly.

The outright hatred by the flO\vcr children was exhibited at last week's CAPE Forum, titled: ,"The Ethics of War: A Public FoHim on Kosovo and the Balkans." The event featured a panel from The U.S. Army War ~ollege (gasp!) who discussed the issue of war as well as the current situation regal'ding our soldiers in Kosovo. Throughout the event, the uudience asked questions mostly in a pointed yet professional and mtional fashion. All was going well and the .ttudience was respectful of lhe'punel, though split in their ,()pil1Jons on whether or not

proceeded to assault the panelists by lobbing cream pies at their faces, striking most of the servicemen in one way or another. After their craven act, one of them fled while another female stuck around and received a tongue lashing from this wtiter.

By assaulting these servicemen from the Army and Marines, these half-baked "peace activists" were more or less trying to re­enact ugly scenes right out of the psychedelic "60s and "70s. It was during this time that Vietnam War veterans and mili­tary personnel were struck with much more then Sura Lee pies when they set foot on university grounds. At campuses across America, especially here in California, anybody with a mil­itary connection could expect to have ink, blood, lye and even fists thrown at them, all in the name of "peace." They also would be called "baby killers," "racists," "fascists," und a whole host of other unprintable terms. ROTC buildings und research laboratories were burned down in the name of free expression.

It is with biller irony that I even pen this article in the tirst place.

My name is Eirik Ou, and [ am a Wussy Boy.

It's taken me a long time to admit it .. , I remember shouting in high school, "No, Dad, I'm not gay! I tried to like <.:ars and jet planes and footlmll and Budweiser poster girls, but I never got the hang of it! I don't know whut's wrong with me."

Then. I saw him, there on the silver screen, biggl~r thun life und unafraid of earrings und hair dye .• 1I1d rejoicing in the music of the Cure, Morrissey and Siouxsie and the Banshees, talking loud and walking proud, my Wussy Boy icon: Ducky in "Prelly in Pink."

And I realized 1 wasn't ulone. I looked mound and saw other Wussy Boys living large and proud of who they are.

Anthony Michael Hull, Wussy Boy.

Megan Dickson Sports Editor

Now that's an idea As I started to make my way

• through the ranks at the fIrst newspaper I worked at, I was told

" something I still believe today. :' My sports editor. Mike.

'. shared with me what he called " an age-old sports adage. He

said. "The news section of a newspaper is simply created to

,. keep the sports section dry in ,. cuse of bad weather."

OK, so it's not age-old. In fact I think Mike made it up, but nonetheless it's u fun idea to

,i .. bring up every now and then. (It I .,

r especially tends to make the ': '. I news department a little upset.)

Well, this is the '90s and everything should change right'?

The Washington Times has made a few changes and all I have to say is that it's about time.

, The Times has finally figured ~ .. out how things should work.

.' Sports should come first. According to the Associated

Press. Wesley Pruden. the edi­tor-in-chief of the Times,

\ '. announced that the Sunday edi-

Ii. tion of the Times will now be ~ .. the Sunduy Sports Times. i; That's right, the Washington

Times has decided to put the 1 :: sports section on the front page .. every Sunday. The Sunday .. SPOIts Times is neurly double the ::- usuul Sunday sp0l1s section and :: the news pagcs will be inside in a

convenient pull-out section. .. " Gary Hopkins. Washington

Times sports editor, said, 1\ . "We've ulways been knmvn for

~\ :, ,:- politics, national issues, trends, . II :.~:. ·things ·like lhut. We were look-

1.1 ing for something unique. j:. i . '·Sports is big. When you think : II about what happened Saturday, d'\' what are people going to the , , Sunday paper 1'01''1'' \ \ ' Duh! Why didn't anybody

...

think of that sooner?

Ii 'Ii II When the Sunday paper

arrives, the 11l'st thing I do is flip II through the other sections to I! timl sports. I want to know what ! I happened over the weekend und

II Ii., I want to sec the scores. So what arc the chances of

1'1 ; " The Orion putting the spons section tirst?

I found out soon enough the chances were slim to none.

I pitched the new and brilliant idea to my managing editor. She ignored my e-mail probubly thinking the idea was ridiculous.

I shared my thoughts with a few other Orion staff members und was told that when The Orion starts distributing a Sunday paper, the sports puge can be on the front.

Thut's not funny. Now that the Times havc

clllUlged everyUling, I suppose we . need u new aduge to pass down

\: to the young reporters making ,1 . " Uleir way Ulfough the mnks.

Forget hockey; bring on strippers

T-he newness of the Chicago sub­. way blew off quickly as playing

... in the national hockey tourna­ment became a reality. But ask the Chico State iriline hockey team what they remember most nbout their trip to the windy city and they'll tell you the highlight. was Jerry Springer and :'1

show titled "Strippers with Secrets." The visit to "The Jerry Springer

Show" was spontaneous after

Springer's secretary called head coach Travis Burkhardt to ask the team to come on the show to help "mise a little ruckus."

"We went right from the airport to thc studios with all of our gear," Burkhardt said. "They ended up letting all eight of us in and we got to sit in the front row."

It only took 15 seconds before the first brawl began. After four hours of

taping, the tcam took pictures with Springer and had the chance to talk with him for a while.

"Jen'Y was a pretty cool guy," Chico State inlinc hockey player Steve Bosinofr said. "He was down to eruth."

The team tried to convince Steve the bodyguard to wear a Chico Slllte jersey, he said no.

Stay tuned. no one knows for sure when the show will uir. --MD

Wildcats win a few; No. 17 in national hockey tournament Megan Dickson Sports Editor

When the Chico State Univcrsity roller hockey team headed to Crystal Lake, 111: to compete in the Collegiate Roller Hockey Nationul Championship tournament April 15-18, they were excited but didn't h.lve high expectations.

"I didn't go expecting to win much:' said Steve Bosinoff. "We're decent players but we went out and held our own."

The Wildcats did hold their own in the tourmllllcnt that consisted of teams from across the nution. including hockey power­houses like Colorado Stute. Penn State and Michigan Stute - teams that .111 have potentiul professional hockey players.

"It's huge that we are playing at a level like that," said head coach Tmvis Burkhardt. "It's big for Chico Sillte to bcplaying against Division I ice hockey schools."

Chico State l1nished the tournament 'It No. 17 out of 72 teams.

"Going in no onc knew where Chico , ,was," said Burkhardt. "By the end of the

tOUI1l11tnel1t, we were probably one or the most well-known teams."

Chico State was offered a sponsorship after the loumamenl but Burkhardt refused because the sponsor was Jack Daniels.

"I didn't fcel like I went to a tourna­ment," Bosinofr said. "I went to hang out with my friends llnd we got to play hockey on the side."

Cats' sensational six lead league in-defense Joaquin Galvan Staff Writer

Take one part of accuracy, two pnrts of speed nnd aware­ness, a drop of superstar. and a smidge of luck. Stir until the chemistry has gellcd, and you've got the Wildcats' "right stufr' in the outlleld.

The outlield is composed of six outstundillg players. Left !ielder Lisa Rabo, center lielders Alli Fritz and Michelle La Violette, und right fielders Julie Berggren, April Collins, and Lisa Vadalmu.

So far this season the Chico Stme outlield has dominated the league in defense.

The team's overall defense is runked No. 1 with' u neltling percentuge of .96K, committing u league-low 32 errors. The outfield (done has a l1clding percentage of .981 with only 7 errors.

"Being aggressive 1 thinl, is what makes us No. 1," ~mid ass is­tunt coach Cheryl Aschenbach. "We muke plays other teams won't."

1b reach this high statme of success, Aschenbach pl'epures the outfield with what she calls the "cross drB1." It consists or routine hils 10 the outlield in practice that force the players to

"If the !irst person doesn't get there at all. the second person has enough time to do what we call a 'safe angle' and play the ball a lot deeper," Aschenbm:ll said. "I know that they'!'e going to get there to pick it up cI~anly without having to risk anything."

San Diego does in Wildcats, twice Ruggers prove they have what it ,takes, finish season No. 2 in U.S. Karen Christensen StaffWrirer

They flew 2,400 miles to play three games. Was it worth it?

The Chico State mcn's rugby team finished second in the nation for Division II collegiate teams Sunday in the national championship game in Cincinnati. After advancing through the first two rounds with victories against University of Nevada. Las Vegas. and University of Northern Colorado, Chico State lost 21-18 to the defending

. national champion University of California, San Diego.

"Even though we didn't win , the last game, it was an . absolute success," said co­coach Chris McMains. '"'This

.. was the fi rst ti me in a decade the Chico State University men's rugby team played something this signit1cant."

It was a long road for Chico . :. State to get to the national ',. ·championships. After going 8-" .. 1-0 during the season to tie for

Ohio April 22. the strategy was simple: Win three games in three days and bring home the national championship.

The Wildcats' first game was April 23 against the University of Nevada. Las Vegas, who fin­ished second in the Southem Califomia Rugby Union. With three games in three days, Chico State looked for contri­butions from the bench to save the starters' strength. Flanker Scotty Hayes. lock Christian Bradley., and back Bobby eoucoles all stepped up.

"Everyone who wasn't a starter played exceptionally well. there were a lot of good rookies." said prop Cam Villa.

\Vhile the game seemed all easy victory for Chico State. who won 33-0, it did cost the Wildcats their starting prop, Matt Eggen. He sat out most of the next game before retunI­ing in the championship game.

"We blew them out in out first game," said prop Brian Senior.

Sun Diego started the game with a pcnalty kick for three points, but scrumhalf Pete Galicz came back to score a try. San Diego then scored another penalty kick and. fullback Dustin Ogden scored another try, Flyhalf Mark Mullin kicked a drop goal making the halftime score 15-6 in favor of Chico State.

San Diego came back ill the second half. tying the game at 18. With five minutes left, San Diego scored a penalty kick in front of the posts and brought the score 21-18. Chico State. meanwhile, was unable to make its last two conversion tries.

"In the tirst half they con­trolled the game, and we were able to break through scoring tries," McMains said. "But in the second half they capitalized on our mistakes."

"We were mentally prepared for this game," Vi\1a said. "We were playing so hard that things like offsides would hap­pen. They were able to hold their possession and seal it all the way down."

Having gone the furthest allY team can go and finishing sec­ond in the nation, Chico State is 100 tired 10 think about next year.

first in the Northem Califomia Vincent League with Sacrnmemo Sture University, Chico State ad vanced to territo­rials after it was proven that Sacramento State was playing with ineligible players. After beating the Pacific Northwest champion University of Portland, Oregon (78-0), the Chico State players were forced to fund their own trip to the nationals in Cincinnati, including airfare and lodging.

After Ic.wing late Wednesday night, April 21, and arriving in

Chico State then played the University of Northern Colorado. again not llsing their complete starting squad. While the game was a challenge, Colorado had few players who weighed less than 200 pounds, the Wildcats advanced. With Chico State taking an early lead. Colorado made a late comeback for an exciting 27-22 Wildcat victory.

"It was like playing a col­lege football team," Villa said. "But the team that wins games wins with Ihe most finesse."

In the championship game, Chico Statc fell behind early.

After the success of this year's team, however. next year's changes will be major.

They will be losing five starters, but the biggest change, however, will be the transition into Division 1. With the Wildcats' new division as the best in the nation, Chico State is looking to start fund­mising now.

Lacrosse ends season, nine named to all~star team'. Sonny Kerstlens SmjJ Writer

The Chico State men's lacrosse team went into the Western Collegiale Lacrosse League state championship game with high expectations.

Unfortunately, those expecta­tions didn't pan out as Ihe Wildcats lost 9-8 to the University of San Diego.

"They were a pretty lalented squad." said coach Brian Kehoe. "We played a good, hard game."

The Wildcals actually led a couple of times, but it was a back-and-forth game where the team that scored last was going to win. San Diego scored last.

"We played our hearts out," said Jason Albrecht. "We just lost a close game. I'm not disappoint­ed. 1 don't think anyone is disap­pointed. We had a great year."

The Wildcats went into the season finale as the No. J seed in the four-team tournament.

Chico State defeated St. Mary's in the first round (9-7) to cam a shot 011 USD.

The loss capped off an other­wise magnificent season for the Wildcats. Chico State ended up with an 8-3 record overall,

including an undefeated mark against division II opponents.

"I think it's pretty obvious we played great (the entire season)," said Albrecht. "We had our down times like any other team does. but overall we had an undefeated record in D-II from playing well consistently."

The Wildcats played so well that they landed a team-record nine members on the WCLL all­star team.

.'{' m so proud of the guys, they did so well." said Kehoe. "They represented the school and did a good job at that. This W&JS one of the best years I've ever had."

The 25-member team was strong on offense as well as defense the entire season.

The offense, which was unstoppable at times, was led by a group of good athletes who played well as a team. The Wildcats never failed to score at least eight goals in any game.

"We read off each other, we knew where we were going to be," said attacker David Bonnet. "\Vhen we're on all engines. no one can stop us."

The defense was led by a group of bruisers who loved to punish the opposition. Kehoe said

that the Wildcats' defense knocked out at least three players this year, and left another four with concussions.

"By the end of the games, the other team was always showi"ng some signs of fear and then mak­ing mistakes accordingly," said Kehoe.

Led by Brad Lauer and B~au Williams, the defense was feared throughout the state for its toughness.

The offensive players felt fortu­nate they only had to go again~t them in practice. .

"You could tell they (oppq­nems) wouldn't go 100 percent toward the goal because they would take a beating if they dia," said Bonnet. "You could sec it in their eyes - the fright."

Kehoe will be losing at le.lst seven team members to gradua­tion this year. The fifth- year coach was recently honored as the WeLL coach ot the year, but he was happy more about the per­fonllance of his players than 1* own personal accolades. _

"Il was prelly ful111ling from my perspective to see the guys make it happen like they did;" Kehoe said. "The team should really be proud of themsel ... c.s.'~

Vinh is total package for Wildcats Softball: Super six are the right stuff for Wildcats

·Mr. Consistency leads -·team in three offensive ~. ,1

categories Dan Nieto Assistallt Sports Editor

.' When outfielder Bao-Nhall Vinh transferred to Chico State ·this year, he wasn '( expected to start. let alone play much this season.

Now, as the season for the Chico State men's baseball team winds down, Vinh is the team's most consistent hitter and run producer.

The O,ionl Mutt Oatn

"When I carne here from junior college 1 wasn't sup­'posed to be a starter. But once

· people saw me hit the ball and become a force offensively, I

· got into the lineup," Vinh said.

Bao·Nhan Vinh, a transfer student from Southern California, was nicknamed "Mr. Consistency" by his teammates and has been a yaluable assest to the baseball team. Vinh is it designated hitter and leads the team in dQubles, triples and runs scored, and is among the team leaders in stolen bases.

· .' At 5 feet 10 inches tall and 180 pounds, the switch hitler from Southern

· California said it has always been casy for teams to overlook his talents on the field because of his size.

· . "On paper I don't look like I can do much. but once I get on the field it's a dif­ferent story." . Vinh's story is one that has him leading

the learn in doubles. triples, and rUlls scored, and has him among the learn leaders in stolen bases.

. ' No longer overlooked, Vinh is now looked upon by teammates as the final piece to the winning the World Series in May.

"He's bar none the catalyst to our offense," said pitcher John-Eric Hernandez. "For us to win (the World Series) he's going to have to be our spark. He's been a great acquisition to the team." , . Vinh, 21, said although he does not excel at· anyone particular part of the game, he tries to model his game after his favorite baseball player, Hank Aaron.

. "He's the most consistent player ever," Vinh said. "[ think I'm very consistent too. I'm not great at anyone thing but I'm good at· everything. I'm a run producer, I score

runs, and I get on base a lat." For Vinh, his inaugural seas un as a

Wildcat started off so poorly that he found himself sitting on the bench with a hitting slump and dwindling confidence.

"I struggled early because ( was pushing myself too hard to do things 1 wasn't capa­ble of doing." Vinh said. "I became unsure of myself."

Vinh said his confidence returned after a breakthrough series against UC Davis .

"I think I drove in nine runs that series. I started playing with more confidence and they (Davis) couldn', get me out." Vinh said. "I've been rolling ever since."

Catcher Casey Glynn said that since Vinh overcame his early season slump he has become the most consistent hitter on Ihe team.

"When he's at the plate we count on him to get the job done," Glynn said. "I've seen guys transfer thinking they're the stuff and they're not. I see how he was overlooked coming in, especially since no one really knew too much aboul him. Now people realize what he can do."

I colll;lIlwd from p. 9 certainly rubs off on the other players.

"Rabo is unstoppable and Berggren is really .lccurate with her throws," Fritz said. "I don '[ like 10 dive. I hate it bec.lUsc it sc:m!s me. but knowing that they try so hard influences me to try my h:lrdesl."

And being r;lIlked among the top ten in the Icague in defense. a strong effoll is wll;lt she gives.

Another important member of the "right stuff' is La Violeue. Her specd, glove, and eagerness 10 dive for a ball havc placed her in Ihe leuglle's lOp ten for defense with a 1.000 fielding percentage and no errors.

"1 always dive for the balls in front of me. behind me, and to the side," La Violette said. "I always want the ball hit to me because 1 want Illy pilcher to know I got her back."

Vadalma is another strong assct to the Wildcats' outfield. This up-and-coming freshman has the determination and confi­dence lo succeed.

"I hit pretLy well and 1 have a strong .lIld accurate arm," Vadalllla said. "I always have the confidence thaI they're going be behind me if the miss the ball."

In crucial situations, Vadalma does not express any sort or anx­iety if the ball is hit to 11I:r.

''I'm always waming the ball to come to me:' Vadalma said. "I'm not nervous."

Having aln.:ady pitched two no-hitters this season, Fritz has complete confidence in her out­fielders when she is on the mound

"If it's a pop up Ihcre is no doubt in my mind that my out­fielders will get it," Fritz said. "If it's a line drive I know they'll do their best, but if it gets through it's Illy fault."

It was all innocent when The Jetsons met The Flintslones and Mickey Mouse weill on vacalion with his friends. But it was only a matter of time until South Purk took over Beevis and Butthead and an animani- ' nctic society was created.

Cartoons have eurned their place in history just as classic movies have.

, Cal1oo11s have had their phases like sit­coms and no longer have an age limit.

Since the romuncc betwcen ani­mution und thc computer took otT, more sophisticated .lrt h.lS been born. The changing years have intro­duced innovative software thal in tllrn allows the frequency 01" produc­tion to increase-while allowing minds to !low freely and venture into Never Never land.

The world or animutioll combines

art, computer design and a large chunk of creativity. This manic world has lero limits. Wc're talkin' higher lhun the sky and deeper th~\Il the oce'lIl.

Where else could a rabbit named Ruger get married to a voluptuous gal named Jessica, and when did an unt become so durn cmotional yet runny? This is where the creative aspect plays a significant role. How docs one think up such situations? Once beyond the bntinstorming ses-

SiOIlS, pUlling these wm:ky ideas down in an art form takes true talent and a great deal of work.

Here at Chico Slate Univ(~rsity. animalion is still making its way as the talent ulready existing is proving. Rick Vertolli, the man or animation and computer science, said, "There arc 25 students in the special major, whieh combines art,

~Jeff Clemetson :Elltertaillfllc1lt Editor

Watch out; here comes Spiderman: :We're altogether loony , Everybody I know, myself included, has at one time or another : watched cartoons. Some of us still do.

As a kid, my favorite cartoons were the Warner Bros. Loony Tunes. I was especially a fan of Foghorn Leghorn, the wise-crack­jng rooster that always had a bone to pick with the barnyard dog. 'Most of my friends thought Bugs Bunny was the coolest with his, "what's up, doc?," routine, but I always found Foghorn'S, "why I say, son," the funniest thing on earth. At least when I was five.

When I was 10 to 12-years old my cartoon favorites grew to include the animated action programs that were made to se\1 the cool toys of the day. I'd spend my after school hours watching 'The Transformers," "Robotech," and ·'G.I. Joe." But Saturday mornings were still dedicated to Foghorn and the rest of his Loony Tunes cronies.

In high school. when you would think someone would grow out of these childhood progr.lms, there were new cartoons to grab my interest and rot my mind with stupidity and twist my brain with unrealistic violence. "Ren and Stimpey" and "Beavis and Butthead" seemed to be created to keep toon addicts, like myself, from ever growing up and appreciating the finer arts in the world. And on any Saturday that I managed to get out of bed early enough, I still turned on the tube to watch Wiley Coyote get smashed into the bot­tom of some canyon after being tricked by the Roadrunner.

Toward the end of high school something strange and wonderful happened. I no longer had to feel strange about watching cartoons anymore. I also didn't have to wake up at some God forsaken hour on Saturday morning to get my toon fix. Cartoons had moved to prime time.

'~rhe Simpsons" on the Fox channel was the perfect mix of child­ish humor and adult topics. A mayor that was a spoof of the Kennedy family. a Pakistani convenience store clerk. an evil nuclear power plant owner with a closet homosexual secretary and the beer guzzling Homer Simpson made the show grown up enough for grown ups and the animated prankster Bart made it childish enough for children.

The popularity of "The Simpsons" paved the way for other grown up cartoons. In the wake of "The Simpsons" there came the hee-haw humor of suburban Texas in "The King of the Hill," the c\aymation ghetto of "The PJs" and, most recently, the sit-com style comedy of "Family Guy."

On the cable channels there are even more. "South Park" depicts school children using cuss words and dealing with a friend that dies in every episode. And HBO has a late night cartoon based on the comic book series "Spawn."

But even with all these grown-up cartoons popping up, I still think the best animated programming can be found on Saturday moming before any reasonable person should be out of bed.

Trivial notes This weeks question deals with last weekend's surprise visit.

Holy higher education, Batman, Chico State students still read comic books.

Most of us remember read­ing comic books as children. We followed the adventures of Superman and Wonder Woman or scared ourselves with Tales from the Crypt. But then we grew older. We stopped read­ing those colorful books we begged our parents to buy us in the supermarket aisles. But some of us never gave lip this childhood passion, and the comic book industry has adapt­ed to an older audience.

"The popularity of comics is increasing all the time," said Bat Comix clerk Donna Catlett. "They're not for little kids anymore."

One reason for the endurance of comic books is their topics have gone beyond superheroes and horror, Catlett said

"Anything you're interested in, there's a comic for it," she said.

Today's comic books range from science fiction stories such as "Star Wars" to classic novels like "Beowolf."

Bat Comix's clientele are mostly 17- to 28-year-olds, Catlett said, and many of them are Chico State University stu­dents. Her customers are most­ly collectors who see no stigma attached to these books that used to be just for children.

"This is an all-ages hobby now," she said.

Murat Ozbek, a freshman at Chico State, began collecting comics at age four in his home­land, Turkey. When he began his collection, he couldn't read the stories in the D.C. and Marvel comic books that were available to him in Turkey. Now the words have taken on more meaning in his assess­ment of a good comic book.

dcfinitely checking them out," hc said.

CatleLL said if a comic's story is good, the art may lack. and if the urt work is exceptional, the story may lack.

The art in comic books varies as widely as the story topics. There are comics that are still hand-drawn, but there arc also comics drawn with computers, watercolor and just about any other medium used in the art world.

Comics have also captured the professional fascination of some of today's popular artists, like Alex Ross and Saryama.

'L V [ ~ ~ -"'~~f(fa·

"Today, you can become a renowned, well-known artist through comics," Catlett said.

Popular writers are also drawn to writing comic books. Kevin Smith, who created and wrote the movies "Clerks" and "Mall Rats," is also the author of the popular comic book "Daredevil."

Another trend in today's comics is the comic book movies. Movies like "Batman" and "Spawn," which were based on comics, help sell the print versions and expand the popu­larity of the hobby.

The popularity of the comic book movie has even confused some collectors about which movies are really based on comics.

"When 'The Matrix' was released," Catlett said, "people came in to see if it was based on a comic."

Unlike their movie counter­parts, comics are not often rated for content. However, Marvel and D.C. comics stick to a national rating system called the comics code. Comics that pass

the comics code are safe for all ages said Catlett. At Bat Comix, adult comic books are kept behind the counter.

Another trend in comic book collecting is retro comics. The younger collectors are staning to buy the older '60s comics like 'The Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers," "Crumb" and "Zap' Comix." Catlett said.

The most popular contempo­rary titles for comics are "Baltle Chargers," "Danger Girl," "Fathom," "Crimson" and "Thunderbolts." The standard super heroes are still going strong as well. Catlett said.

Besides comic books, Catlett ' said that toys such as "Star Wars" action figures and fantasy' card games like "Magic: The Gathering" are also popular items for Chico State students.,

Bat Comix often holds tour­naments for "Magic" players and are well attended, Catlett said.

Comic books today have better; art, cover a variety of story plots, ' and you don't have to be kid to enjoy them.

Downtown musical revolution to continue Laura Johnson Ass;stallt Elitertailllllelll Editor

The guru of gigs in Chico, DNA, is thrilled to announce

...lhat the first Hump Day Music , Revolution of the 1999 season ,is tonight from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. in the downtown plaza. It's called "Inside Jessica's Mind."

,,"It's a conceptual show which explores all the things which are going on in her

-mind," DNA said. "Jessica is my secretary. It's got clowns, fire'dancers, scenes from ~Passengers on the Bus' and balloons."

'~fsomeolle's kids come to concerts ill the park and come to buy drugs, that's

flot my problem.

All concerts are free. and people of all ages are invited. Tonight'S show kicks off what DNA hopes to be a season of more than just music. "Passengers on the Bus" is a local play which is currently being performed at Club 319. There will also be four DJs per­forming: DJ Mantis, Manic One, Wedge and OH. DNA said he is trying to make this year's concerts more entertainment­oriented.

organization of people who help out with events. His most recent accomplishment was the Nowhere by Nowhere music fes­tivalwhich was held in down­town Chico two weeks ago, fea­turing more than 150 bands. This is DNA's seventh year of organizing the Hump Day Music Revolution, which has had sev­eral names over the years, including the Chico Community Concert Revivul. the Chico Community COllcert Series. and the Wednesday Night Music Revolution. He said there are about 200 to 2,000 people who attend the concerts.

Local music promoter DNA books bands for Hump Day in the Park.

,"Wednesday is a more fun. all-ages show than concerts in the park on Friday, which is for older people," DNA said. "It's more of a multi-cultural experi­ence. In the past, it's been more young adult. rill looking for all ages in the sense so children won't be scared."

For all those who are not acquainted with DNA, he is the man who has done a great deal to improve the music and enter­tainment scene in Chico. On a normal day, you may find this dreadlocked dude around Pizza Face. playing pool downtown or working the door at Harrington's. But, more likely. he is in his ortice working hard on organizing local shows.

An active joumulist. DNA has been'publishing his own inde­pendent magazine. "Hump," for the past two years with a small

But a downside to DNA's job as a concert promoter is the community's negative reaction to youth entertainment. Many people look down upon the Wednesday night concerts in the park. claiming that it is a place for kids to gel into trouble.

"What I've leamed is that I've created a scene where kids can come to smoke cigarettes." DNA said. "If someone's kids come to concerts in the park and come to buy drugs. that's not my prob­lem. I'm just a promoter. I'm not playing dad for these kids that want to have fun."

In order to regulate the secu­rity for concerts in the park. vol­unteers at the show will wear "STAFF" shirts this year and circulate through the crowd.

DNA said he wants to base the concerts on good. clean fun. The concerts attract a young crowd, so there is always a

potential for illegal activity und incidl!nts involving minors.

"[ just try to provide two hours of good. clean, fun for everybody," DNA said.

The quality of the shows has steadily increased over the lust seven years. This year's agenda features differl!nt types of music from all over the nation, including the Yonder Mountain String Band. a bluegrass group from Colorado; Jiggle the Handle, an East Coast psyche­delic experience; Headboard, hip-hop music from Petaluma; and JoJo. a band from Chico that now headlines in San Fr.lI1cisco. And then there's always the local favorites. including Electric Circus, The Bumpin Uglies. Jorduga. and Mystic Roots.

The next show. the debut per­fonnance of local hip-hop group 4:20, will be on Saturd.IY. The concert's schedule is packed with great music groups from around the country, as well as performances by the Chico

Creek Theatre Fl!stival. The lin:tl shL1\\' on Octobl!r 13 will feature tll:lt Chico Il!gend-The Mother Hips.

Thc concerts arc funded by raflle tickets, which 'Ire sold for $1 on Wednesday nights, und business sponsors-Ihere is no 1inanci:t1 support given by the city of Chico. Neither DNA nor the bands receivc any muncy from the shows. Because the concerts arc free, there is a dire need for cOlllmunity support to produce high-quality shows.

"I'll take pennies from people because it all adds up." DNA said. "We sell T-shirts in order to help Ollt as well."

DNA said they arc still look­ing for vcndors and volunteers to help run the shows and mise money through mme tickets. Call his office at 345-3697 if you are interested.

You're missing out on all the fun if you arc not in the down­town plaza for the Hump Day Music Revolution! One last tip froIll DNA: get there early.

Rose rescues International Fest Anime: Movies b,ased on video games, myths Jeff Cleme~50n

ElltertailllllC/It Editor

To the hundreds of people who attended the International Festival on Saturday, the day of music and culture went without a hitch. The sun shined down on the Kendall Hall lawn as students and community mem­bers tasted exotic foods. watched cultural displays and danced to the live bands. But for the people behind the scenes, the wonderful day was more like the light at the end of a very dark tunnel.

At 9:30 a.m. 011 Friday, A.S. Programming world music coor­dinator Nicholas Ferraconesaid he answered a phone call from his boss, A.S. Programming director Ajamu Lamumba.

"Ajamu called me and said, ·Nick. I'm not kidding about [his - it's not all good ... • said Ferracone.

And what made it not all good? One of the major acts booked for [he next day's event would be unable to attend.

Lamumba had received a mes­sage from the leader of Andrew Tosh's backing band, Fully Fullwood, that said Tosh was stuck in Jamaica. Fuel prices on the island had skyrocketed, caus­ing a massive riot in Kingston which closed the airports.

Ferracone said Fullwood was really sorry for the unexpected change in plans and he told the A.S. Programming crew that he would try and work out a solu­tion. Also, Fullwood's keyboard player had already left Las Vegas to head for Chico for the gig that was guaranteed. There was no pulling out now for the backing band.

After tossing around a few names of reggae singers that were in America and might be able to perform. Fl.lllwood remembered that his friend of 25 years Michael Rose was working on an album at a studio in Miami, Fla. After reaching the answering machine at the studio several times, Fullwood called Rose's wife to see if she could reach him. A call to

Rose's agent, who also works for Tosh, finally got through. With the ball rol1ing and Rose agreeing to come to Chico,the next question was if it could actua1Jy work?

Besides travel arrangements and hotel accommodations. there was also the business of contracts to be signed. Ferracone said. But Rose's people came through and came to Chico on the good faith of A.S. Programming's word.

Rose was booked for a flight leaving Miami in the morning and arriving in Sacramento at 12:24 p.m. He was slated to take the stage in place of Tosh at 4 p.m.

Just to make an already stressful situation more tedious, the flight arrived an hour late. Ferracone said.

Lamumba said that when Rose arrived he didn't even fret the hectic day of last minute trave\.

"All he said was, 'do the peo­ple know I'm coming?'" Lamumba said.

Thanks to OJ Boomshot at

KZFR, they did. Rose hit the stage on sched­

ule and put on a performance that was more exciting than the adventure that brought him here.

"Once Michael was on stage it was like three elephants were lifted off my chest. It wasn't true to me until I saw him and gave him a big hug," said Lamumba.

After the show Ferracone told Rose that if he were a profes­sional baseball player he would win the Fireman Award for relief pitchers because of the blaze the reggae star extinguished for the promoters of Saturday's Intemational Festival.

Rose rocked the reggae to the hundreds of people that came to the festival, most of them unaware how close they came to seeing almost no reggae at all.

Following Michael Rose was the Latin jazz/funk ofOzomatli. Like many of the people who came out to the International Festival, they were pleasantly surprised to see Rose, Ferracone said.

Considering the recent American animation successes, "Final Fantasy: The Movie" could knock Hol1ywood actors to their knees. Square's ambitious goal is to be the first to simulate human' emotions and movements through computer graphics.

"Final Fantasy: The Movie" will be the realization of a dream to create a brand-new form of entertainment uniting computer games and motion pictures-using the latest in CO animation technology." said Hironobu Sakaguchi, director of "Final Fantasy: The Movie" and president of Square USA.

Animation is like a ticket to the next galaxy where one doesn't know what to expect, but one acknow ledges that anything is possible.

Theme Fun electi~~~<\ Forget those hard classes ". take something easy.

: Wednesday, April 2S, .1999

, Carrie Ann Dennington . Dimensions Editor

: Let's hear it for the professors . It is sad to say, but I've never : had a class 1 could consider : "fun" by its nature. I've never

danced the night away or gone under water for some units. Next semester-my last semes­ter-all that is going to change.

I'm going to live it up and play to my heart's content. I plan on learning about fine wines, learning what a back­hand stroke really does (that's tennis if you didn't know), and I'I11 going to Icarn and use these things for the rest of my life '" I

, swear by it. But there arc many classes that

can be fun and enteltaining, not because of the classes them­selves, but because of the profes­sors and the way they present the malerial. Now, 1 have had a few in my four years here that will stick in my mind for a lifetime.

I would say that I have been lucky in my major, and I hope that you have been too. I've been blessed to have great pro­fessors who not only care about their classes, but how you do in the professional world, and in

,your personal life as well. I ,know I would not have accom­

:: plishcd half of the things I have .: hud it not been for them. So to . : ~liem, 1 say, thank you. . ' . " But if you aren'l a journalism . major, you're not going to

encounter these awesome few. However, I know one who teaches an elective class who will make a difrerence. His n~me is Miguel Marttnez. It's Sp.mish 01:

There wiII never be another. in the Spanish world who equals this man. Not only did I learn more in his one semester of Spanish then I did in my three years of high school Spanish, but he was so cnergetic that I <tctually looked forward to going to his class-which I might add wus a night class.

So what is it <tbout Miguel? It's his personality and his way to try und connect with his stu­dents. It is the way he shows

. you he really cares about what : he's tioing. I cnn promise you, : even if you have no interest in : Spanish, hc'llmake it one of : your best classcs at Chico State : Univcrsity. And you'll come out : enjoying whnt you've been

taught. He goes above and beyond, and you'll remember him as a really cool professor. I mean. il's been two years since I hud him, und I ~till smile when I see him.

And 1 know that there m'e oth­ers. So spread the word about the professors you love. Your friends will appreciate it. And if yOUI' friends arc good students, your professors will too.

For anyone who has ever sat in class ,tI1d pondered the thought. "Geez" I wish I could have 'l drink right now:' this class is for you.

The course offers students the chance to get to know

"wine with sophistication."

NoL only is it some­thing cool to talk

about with fellow wine connoisseurs but also wilh

family members and future colleagucs.

"I would say you should take it because il would serve many purposes," Baldy said. "It's fun. enhances the pleusun! of eating ... ami helps with the sociul side of the professional world."

Not only that, but you get to

t'lsh: dilIl.!rent types of wine and rl.!ally learn the "dil"l"I.!rl.!nce."

"The re~tSlJn it is a collegl.! le"d class is because it is not l1ufr." Baldy said. "It·s an inept subject. I.!conomically. historical­ly and gcographil.!ally. One of the I.!xciting things about the subject is it can be approal.!hed from any ~tI1gle,"

Artists can study wine's impact on p'lintings, musicians C'1I1 look at its impact on songs. As profl.!ssor Df the cbss Baldy's approach is "to teach thl.!l11 to be intelligent wnsullll.!rs:' sill.! said .

But this could pllssihly haw some downfalls. Once you know the dilTercncl.! bet ween good winc amI "wine that gets YOlL

From cathedrals to classrooms: Stain glass not just for churches;::

Holly Cunn works on fixing a stained glass lampshade.

The colors from stained g lass can brighten up any room Gillian Zema Assistant Dimellsiolls Editor

It's time you lOok a class where grades are nOll-existent and attendance is anything but mandatory.

You're in college, right? Who needs this "three absences and you're out" stofr? You're not in high school anymore.

You need a class that lets you express your creativity, lets you be one with the earth. lets you

skip it if you have other things to do.

Butte College offers a once-a­week stained glass class, open to all members of the Chico com­munity. It doesn't cost anything (except for materials, and they don't even cost as much as most textbooks). Junior Jady Brown said, "I didn't really spend that much at all-maybe 20 or 30 bucks."

Grading is credit/no credit only, and there's only a tiny bit of lecture; a few "how to" words the first few weeks of the semester.

''This class is designed to be fun, although the information is there if you need it." instructor Mick Needham said. "There are

no rules ... 1'111 pretty casual." Unlike the basic Chico State

University class criteria (two midterms, a final and a ten-page paper on Turkish peasants' thoughts on child labor laws in central Bangladesh), there is no required number of glass cre­ations for this class.

"Most students make two (projects)," Needham said. "Others make half a dozen, some don't even finish one."

Needham, owner of down­town's Needham Stained Glass, said students arc not limited when it comes to making pro­jects. Although there are always those people who want to make bongs and other. um, tobacco

paraphernalia, Needham doesn't encourage that kind of creativity. Other than that, Needham said, "You can do any­thing you want, I'll help."

The class has a very relaxed atmosphere, two women spent a lot of time drink­ing Aquafina and gossiping, while other students just kind of came and went. It was vcry unlike the stan­dard sit-in-the-same-hard-chair­for-75-minutes routine we're

used to here .at Chic<? State.

Students seemed. content, relaxed arid really into what they were creating: . Lampshades, wall' decorations, cute little window sun-catchers, ' '

Ballroom dancing : Step into this and swing Swing Steps Taml Zemel Staff Writer

One, two, cha-cha-chu. Three, four, eha-cha-cha.

And one and two. And three and four.

These are the sounds till Acker Gym 204 during ballroom dance, making it one of the most popular and impacted classes on campus.

Some advice-sign up early. In beginning ballroom dance,

be prepared to learn the swing, Fox-trot, Waltz, Tango, Rumba and eha-cha.

After the two recommended semesters of beginning ball­room, move up to intermediate, where you can lellrn different variations of the beginning dances as well as the street hus­tle, the Mambo, and the West Coast Swing.

"You only need the desire to have a lot of fun," said ballroom dance professor Chante Turnbow. "And the patience to be with other people."

And you don't need any dance background to sign up,

"It's a confidence and rhythm thing," Turnbow said.

Ballroom dance· is taught through a step-by-step process, repetition and demonstrations.

Some professors, like Turnbow, arc even willing to do the dances in slow motion and double time if asked.

Not only is ballroom dance a great stress reliever, it's <1150 fun, said ballroom dance student Madonna Mobley.

The class also offers many other rewards.

"Ballroom dance re-intro­duces something into society. It teaches social skills and man­ners," said Natalie Boyd, teach­ing assistant for intermediate ballroom ... It also makes a lot of people feel good, It removes self consciousness."

Ballroom dance also bridges gaps between other cultures, because all the dances, with the exceptions of the swing and Fox­trot, have evolved from European, South American and Caribbean dances.

Dance is also one of the best arts of expression.

So guys, come and express yourself. Ballroom dance needs you. There is always a shortage

Blowing glass creates beautiful memories Molten glass turns into lo~ely art work Yvonne Loomis Sui./fWriler

-:A young man, face beaded with sweat, worked with a gl9wing glob of glass and glass­blowing tools over a fiery pit called the glory hole. The glass was the consistency of taffy, and glowed bright, volcano red. He pushed, pulled, poked and prod­ded the melted glass, taking it where he wanted, letting it go where it would. . . Molten glass, the color of hal

stuff, is a seductive art medium. The fascination seems to be equal parts pyromania and con­trol. For students interested in exploring an ancient an form that requires grace, coordination and creativity, then glass an might be the ticket.

"It's hard, and il takes a loog time and a lot of coordination and practice to be good," said Missy Littrell, a 21-year-old English major. "But it's wonh it."

She took two semesters of glass blowing and loved it.

"It's so different," Littrell said. "And you can make such beauti­ful things, things that can't be made with any other medium."

Lora Funk, a 25-year-old art graduate is back to take extra art classes. She loves glass an.

"There is something about the spontaneity and fluid move­ment of the glass that gets you," Funk said.

"We call it the 'Glass Bug: Once you get it, it's hard to get rid of," she said. That's one way to put it.

"Fire is a very transformative process and humans have <llways had a fascination with, almost a primal interest, in its seductive power," said Robert Herhush)" who teaches an glass classes in Taylor 100. He must be right. Although it was

between classes. students were hanging around to work on their pieces.

A student carefully removed the blowpipe from the glory hole, and a throbbing glob hung on for dear life.

"Not every student will create a powerful piece, but this type of art gives the student a chance to dip into that place where things are most deeply felt," Herhusky said.

When asked why the glOWing hole of the furnace was called the glory hole, he said he wasn't sure. Maybe Rick Satava knows.

Every semester Herhusky takes his beginning glass stu­dents to Satava An Glass on Wall Street. There, professionals make it look easy, and the art is breath­taking.

Rick Satava, the owner, has plenty to do. He has over 300 clients world-wide, including Hawaii, and as far away as Singapore and Hong Kong. Satava isn't looking for more business, and the reason is simple.

"Any bigger and I would not be directly involved with each piece,"

Satava said. "I don't want to lose my chance to be a part of the an." It was easy to see why. His show­room is an elegant breathtaking arr.lY of vibrant color.

The pieces at Satava's require teamwork to finish. Each piece is planned out, so working as one, each artist anticipates the moves of the next.

One young anist pulled the 4-foot blowpipe to his lips and, like the flutist in an orchestra, blew into the end. The glass expanded with life. He stopped, then swung the pipe in a large arc to elongate the piece.

"Man is the choreographer, or the conductor. the creative force using fire and glass as a vehicle to create this an form." Satava said.

Satll\'a didn't know why it is called the glory hole, but he knows a professional glass blow­er and friend who just might. That artist was found in the pres­ident's office at Chico State University.

Manuel A. Esteban comes from a family of glass blowers. His father and futher-in-law were master glass blowers, and

Manuel Esteban and Rick Satava have a great friendship. Glass blowing is one of their mutual inter­ests. On Thursday, Esteban made some art at Satava's store 819 Wall Street.

Esteban Was a glass blower until he was 29. It's a heritage he is proud of.

Glass blowing had become part of his past until recently.

Last year, Robert Herhusky encouraged Esteban to rekindle his creative past and join him in a demonstration for Pn:sident's Scholar Day. He did.

"I was amazed at how much I remembered," Esteban said. "When you work a piece from stan to finish, it's a great satis­faction." Now, when his schedule pell11its, he again gives himself over to the dance between fire and glass. For Esteban, it's the an, but it's also going home.

"I don't do it to remove my tie, but to slip back [0 the lime of my youth, the limes with my father and father-in-law," said Esteban. "I am never happier than when 1 am working with glass."

President Esteban didn't know why it's called the glory hole either. If you want to find out for yourself and arc willing to risk exposure to the "Glass Bug." don't wait tosigllup. The classes arc filling.

wine, which seems to be the majority's favorite. Then sparkling wine, this is Baldy's favorite and is the part of the course where '1Il $80 to $125 bot­tle of Dom Perignon is tasted. "One of the first things I te,lch is how to uncork a champagne bot­tic," Baldy said ... \ like to give information they can Lise outside of the class."

And red wines finish off the semester. There are also awards given out at the end. There arc the silver palate awards which give away bottles of wine to the highest test takers. and this coming semester, there will be a contest to sec who can design the best carrying case for their glasses.

"I have a lot of fun in this class," Baldy said. "I 10vI! to leach it, Ihat's why I came up with these games."

And the students love the class too because it's dif­ferent and almost a little re be II ious.

"Once a week at school you get to drink," said senior Marin Blomquist. "And you get to taste a lot of different wines you'd like to try bUI never gel at the store

because they are too expensive." Any other perks? "Your homework is tasting

wine with food and writing about it." he said. And ... "You get a little bun sometimes, or at least a little warmth you get from wine." Blomquist said. "I'd guess if you were really small you could get drunk."

With t'lking this class Blomquist came away with a respect and appreciation for wine that he has nO[ has before. He also learn the difference between good wine and cheap wine.

"Cheap wine lacks complexity," Blomquist said ...... I'll drink cheap wine, but 1 prefer o 0 t to."

Devotin'your time tofloatin' Scuba diving can take you to places under the sea

Summer Hayden . SlajJWriler

While most students are reluctantly diving into finals and term papers, some students are diving into the water. While other students are stuck in sweaty classrooms with florescent lighting, these students get to chill in the cool waters of the Chico State University pool and enjoy the bright warm sunshine.

Are these lucky students skipping school to enjoy the outdoors? No way, these stu­dents are working, and not on their tans. They are working toward gelling certified for scuba diving while earning two units of credit.

How is it possible? Easy. these students were smart enough to sign up for a class they would actually enjoy (strange concept huh?); Physical Education98B.

This is a six-week course designed to teach beginners all the infonnation they need to become scuba certified. Once they're certi students can dive without instl'uc­tors and will have learned all they need to h.1l0W about div­ing safely. .

"They get two units. of credit. and the course is designed to

. train them for their open water dives. And then that's done separately through Valley

is some paperwork and reading, scuba diving can be a great course.

"Once you're trained prop-

Scuba," said Jim Carlson. the scuba instructor for Chico State and owner of Valley Scuba. "They get their grade for Chico State by passing the final in the pool which prepares them· to actually go down on

their certifica­tion . trip to. Monterey."g

. crty, it's a very relaxing safe sport that youcan do withyour friend, your wife, boyfriend. girlfriend and family," Carlson said.

The trip to 8 Monterey is

not a part· of the course but is required if a stu-dent wants to become a certified diver. Trips arc done through Valley Scuba, u local scuba shop. Valley Scuba offers additional yearly trips to other areas, such as the. Caribbean. Hawaii and the Channel Islands, Carlson said.

You'll also have to Q take a trip to the bank

for this course. but it Q Q won't make toobig a

Q splash. only a dip • into the wallet. This

scuba diving course has a $10 fee, and it requires a textbook

and some scuba div-ing equipment.

"They need some personal gear; mask and snorkel. espe­cially that," Carlson said. "They have to purchase the textbook. but that's like any course."

Also like any other course. there is a written final in addi~ tion to the skills test given by' Carlson at the end of the course. Although there

Ceramics isn't just for artists 1111 .. anyone can do ito. Creating things with clay running through

my fingers

Chantal Lamers M(I/Wi.ling Etiiror

All I ever wanted was to use the potlery wheel.

Remember the movie "Ghost'''7 Well, Demi Moore and Patrick Swayze got all kissy' kissy around the pottery wheel.

That's what made me want to klke ceramics. Not the kissy kissy part. but the part where you get to make all sorts of cool things like coffee cups. vases and flower pots.

So this semester. I enrolled in Art 006, also known as Beginning Ceramics. I went in well prepared for the fact that I wouldn't b~ using the wheel unless I graduate to Intermediatc Ceramics. bUll took the plunge anyway.

I have to admit that I was a lit­tle hit nervous about taking an art class. I mean, what if these cre­ative :lrtSy, art majors all laugh~d at my pathetic aHempt to be an artist?l'tn not an artist after all, I'm ajoumalist.

However. I was put to ease when I learned less than half of my class were art majors -

Orion

thank God. So let me tell you why I think

taking ceramics is so cool: First. you don't have to buy

any books for the class. only clay and tools. You do have to take a couple of tests. but they arc pretty basic and just about anybody could pass with minimal studying.

You also get to make some cool things that you can display around the hOllse or give to mom. (Moms always like things thdr children make. like ashtrays

" What if these creative artsy, art majm"s all laughed at my

pathetic attempt to be all artist?

~--" t!vcn though she doesn't smoke.)

Also, most of the classes are· on either Mondays :mu \Vednesdays or Tuesdays and Thursdays. so ahsolutely no Friday classes. However. you do need to mak~ a few cameos on the weekends to work on pro­jects, often the class hours just

aren't enough. So our first major project was

to build a container. We could make almost anything that we wanted. except for butterflies and fairies. and the contained had to be at least 12 inches high or long. The possibilities were endless. so I decided to make three ladybugs, all connected together. I ended up gelling an A- on the project. and now the three lidded red and black bugs are sitting on my kitchen cOlmtcr storing my flour. sugar and. tea bags.

But a lot of people got 'much more creative than I did. One guy made this gigantic Sl11110 wrestler. And there was also a fire hydrant, and Cart man from South Park.

Our next project \Vas creating salt and pepper shakers. 1 . haven't got my grade on this project yet, but I have a feeling it's not so great. \Ve were to make two opposites. So 1 made a goldfish cracker and a cat.

The goldfish turned out cute. but the cat looks kind of scary. I wonder if mom would like that one for Mother's Day?

So, despite the fact that I'm not the gremcst cer.lJ11icizer (l made that verb up myselO. I've decided to take Intermediate Ceramics next semester. I need to take one more dective. and I'm not so scared of art majors anymore.
