Law schoolapplications are downafter first yearJillBatemanStaffßeporter

In January, Seattle University'slaw school reported an 18percentdropinapplications from theprevi-ous year, but officials at the lawschool said SU is caught in a na-tionwide decline of law schoolap-plicants.

Jennifer Freimund, director ofadmissionsfor thelaw school saidtheyhavereceived900oftheirpro-jected2,000applications, but shefeelsconfident theywillreachtheirgoal by the April 1 deadline.Freimund was not surprisedat thefigure for January. "We don't re-ceive half the applications beforeJanuary," she said. "Nowthe num-

berismore like14-16percentdown,and. in-state applications are upslightly."

The University of Washingtonlaw schoolalreadypasseditsdead-line, and is still 8 percent belowtheir projected number of 2,400applications. Lewis and Clark re-portedadecreaseofapproximately13percentandGonzaga9percent.

Freimund explained that whenapplicationpoolsare low,studentstend to apply more frequently toschoolswithin theirown state.Thischoice,saidFreimund,"ismadeforpractical reasons,notbased on thequality of the law school. Thechoice is between moving and notmoving." She believes this ac-counts for the decrease in out-of-

stateapplications,and the flat-linerateof in-state applications.

One might conclude then thatthis isan ideal time toapply to lawschool,butbothFreimundandJohnEshelman,provost at SU,believethe standards for entrance willnotbe effected. "Three out of 10 stu-dents got in last year," saidFreimund. "Evenifapplicationsde-creasedby34percent,wecansafelyaccept lOpercentandstillmaintainquality." Eshelman echoed this,saying, "it depends on the situa-tion," adding that the school willnot go to any length "tokeep thelaw school at thesame number aslast year."

Eshelmanadmittedthere was apossibility that advisors of pre-

law students may not be recom-mending the SU law school be-cause it seems like a it's a newschool,but said, "as advisors be-come familiar with the situationand recognize that it's not a newlaw school" their recommenda-tions willchange.

Freimund said the change hasactuallyhelpedout-of-staterecruit-mentbecauseofnamerecognition."You wouldn'tbelieve thenumberof ways the word 'Puget' can bepronounced," as in University ofPuget Sound, the previous ownerof thelaw school.

Freimundsaid finally,"The im-pactofthenational downward trendisachallenge,butnotsignificantatthispoint."

initiatives 601 and 602 whichSullivan saw as a threat to highereducation.

Sullivan's concern for highereducation is apparent at the locallevel, wherehe wasa formerlong-timechair of Washington Friendsof Higher Education; a chartermember,as wellas boardmemberoftheNorthwestEducationalLoanAssociation; and at the nationallevel,whereheserveson theboardof directors for National Associa-tion of Independent Colleges andUniversities.

SUclub blasts state lawANDREA SHIFLETTStaffReporter

A crowd gathers in front of Se-attleCentralCommunityCollege'sPerformance Hall every Fridaynight. They wear tiedye,grunge,dread locks,multi-coloredhairandnoserings.Acasualobserver wouldassume this group is there for aconcert.Ratherthanaconcerthow-ever, thesepeopleare there to feedthehomeless — illegally.

TheTeenFeedProgramisajointeffort of the local chapter ofFoodnot Bombs, Seattle DisplacementCoalition,Church Council of Se-attle andSeattleUniversity. CuongNguyen,aJesuit novitiate at Cam-pusMinistry,organizesthe weeklyTeenFeed Program withDaniellePoe, student campus minister forpeace and justice.

Poe said the Teen FeedProgramgets fooddonations fromlocalgro-cers and food co-ops. Poe addedthat the organizationalsodoes notmeet state health regulations be-causetheydonotbuystatepermits.

A Food not Bombs organizer,John Reese, said they do not getpermits because the organizationcannotafford them. "Ifthey wanted

togive us apermit, we'd takeit."Reese, like manyother workers inthe programhasno foodhandler'spermit, an $8 permit required foreach person who handles un-wrapped foods.

Theenvironmental services su-pervisor atthe StateHealthDepart-ment, SharonGreenman, said ev-eryone involved with foodprepartion needs permits. "Itdoesn'tmatterifyou give itawayor sell it." Greenman also said a

group like Food not Bombs alsoneedstobuyayearly caterer'sper-mit for non-profit organizations.This permitcosts $50. Greenmanadded thatoperating withoutaper-mit canresult inanything frombe-ing shutdown,togetting"taken tocourt."

An information flyer publishedfor Food not Bombs says, "Foodnot Bombs are demonstrations forpeace... The revolutionneedsnopermits."

Director of Campus MinistryMaryRomer Clinesaid she is notawareofany stateproblems. "Thisis an effort to feed the homelessyouth on Broadway. There are5,000 homeless youths inSeattleand only 60 beds in the shelters,"she said. Cline said this homelessfeed wasstartedthrough the SeattleDisplacementCoalitionandChurchCouncil of Seattle. "The CapitolHillchurcheshaveallbeeninvolvedin organizing and choosing re-sources."

"If we went about feeding thehomeless legally, we couldn't af-fordit,"saidElizabethMcDaniel,anSU studentvolunteer.

Nguyen said the Teen FeedProgram'sgoal is tohelpstudents."We want tosupport students andhelp them be awareof social is-sues; we want to encourage themto work for justice."

Dann Gallucci, a Food notBombs organizer, said the TeenFeed Program is not the onlyweekly feeding for the homeless."Last week wedid five,but mostweeks we do three or four," hesaid.GalluccisaidFoodnotBombsfeeds about a hundred people inPioneerSquareeverySaturday,and50 to 75 peoplein the UniversityDistrict every Sunday. Headded,"We also donate all our leftoverfood to teensheltersonSundays."

However, there are dangers in-

volved in feeding the homelesswithoutpermits. Galluccisaidheexpects merchants in PioneerSquare tosooncall thepolice andclose the Saturday feeding. TheFriday feeding at SCCC is stillsafe though, he added. "Idon'tthink SCCC even knows we'rehere."

Oneoddityabout the TeenFeedProgram is that allthe foodis veg-etarian. Last Friday they servedgreensalad, fruit salad, vegetablepasta soup, bagels, coffee andpunch. The bagels were inalargebox at the end of the table. Poesaid, "A lot of times people takebagels with them."

According toPoe,everyonewhoeatsis expectedto wash their owndishes. Three steaminghot buck-ets of water are set behind theserving table filled consecutivelywithsoapywater,bleachwaterandrinse water. Poe added that thedishes are re-washed at the Pil-grim Congregational Church,where theyalsocook.

The response Food not Bombsreceives from the homeless ispositive,Gallucci said. "Itrangesfrom, 'You'redoinggreat,' to 'Wewouldreallylikemeat."'

Poor lighting could threaten Campion residentsRYAN MILLERStaff Reporter

rour aroundCampion HallThursday revealed what

makes this building dark anddangerousat night.

Mike Sletten, director ofSafety and Security Services,guided the Campion NightSafety Walk withCampionHallDirector Laura McMahon.They examined the lighting,buildingaccess, bicycle secu-rity andparking lot use to seehow to make the area safer atnight.

The first thing McMahonpointed out was the lightingalong the covered walkway tothe front entrance. All thelightsare on each night until 2:30a.m., when half of them shutoff,shesaid. Withall the treesand bushes nearby, this makesthe area too dark for studentscoming back late at night.

More lighting is neededaround the main parking lot,Sletten and McMahon noted.Theyconsideredputting aspot-light that shines from the cov-ered walkway to some bushesnear the lot. They also want totrim the trees on the south endof the lot for more visibility.Students have complained thata light near those trees auto-matically shuts off late atnight.

The bike racks near the en-trancealsoposeasecurityprob-lem,SlettenandMcMahonsaid.Trees make the area too wellhidden,andthe rackplaced fur-thest fromthe entranceis outofview from the security booth.

"This is totally unsafe. Theseare the reasons whybikes havebeen stolen here," McMahonsaid. She and Sletten consid-ered moving the racks to thecurrentsmoking area,alongsidethe covered walkway for betteraccess and visibility.

McMahon thinks theJapanese

Garden by the Cave is also toodark at night. But studentsrarely use the area after darkanyway, Sletten pointed out.More lighting wouldbe neededonly if it the area were be usedfor events.

"We don't advise anyone togo where it's not designed togo. Ifan areais not litat night,don't go there,"he said.

The side neighboring theBessie BurtonSullivan nursinghomehas well trimmed bushes,allowing good visibility alongthepathway,Slettennoted.Butthis area's lighting is also in-sufficient.

Treesin the south parking lotneed trimming, Sletten andMcMahon noted. They alsowant to install halogenpointedlights, which arecheap andcanbe directed at aspecific area.

The westsideof the buildingispoorly lit,and theycannot domuch because of residentsin aneighboring apartment build-

ing, Sletten said. He wants tomove the cardboard recyclingbins away from the stairs nearYasuko's,because theyprovidehomeless peoplewith"blanket"to sleep with in the bushes.

These issues are a standardpart of the community's envi-ronmentaldesign,Sletten said.It was not until two and a halfyears ago that SU staff, stu-dentsand faculty cooperatedtodo something about it. Sincethen, "wehave taken a 180 de-gree turn" with the safety is-sues ofcampus design,Slettensaid.

Thecampus is alwayschang-ing, and the lighting,pathwaysandbuilding access must adaptto these changes, Sletten said.

SU and the surroundingcommunity havenot been con-scientious ofputting the "land-scaping the buildings in har-mony witheach other," Slettennoted. We needbetterpathwaylighting that defines where the

pedestrianturfis. The bus stopsatCampion andalongMadisonshould be well-litand includedin thecampus' landscaping, forexample.

Sletten stressed the advan-tages of clearly marked, well-litpathways. They givepeoplemore security and confidencein the environment.

Theprimary areas targeted forsafety improvementshavebeenthe campus perimeter and themain north,south,eastand westcampuspathways,Slettensaid.Much of the work has been tokeepup with changes broughtonby the new construction.

Now the focus is on thedorms, where maintainingbushes,improvingpathwayac-cess andincreasing lightingarethe main issues.

A campus-wide safety walk willtake place onMarch9, Sletten said.Thosewho wish toattendcanmeetintheUniversity ServicesBuilding at7p.m. Thetour willlastuntil9p.m.

Dear Mr.Health Guy... How doIavoid the measles?

Brian

Health Editor

DearMr. HealthGuy:Ihave been hearing a lot about these

measlesandmeningococcalinfections. Whataretheyallabout? Whataresomesignsandsymptoms of them and what canIdo topreventgetting infected?

Signed,E.P.Demic

Mr.Demic:Ican understand your concerns. First

lets talk about the measles. Measles,alsocalledRubella,isahighlycontagious,acuteviralinfection. Itis seenmostfrequently inurbanareas.

Transmissionofthis viraldiseaseisdonethrough contact withrespiratory dropletsfrom someone already infected or directcontact with the virus.

After you have pickedup this disease,thereis a7-12day incubation period,mean-inga timeperiod fortheinfection togrowandstartgivingexternalsymptoms. Therearenosymptoms for this 7-12 day period.

The first symptoms toappearwouldbe anincreasedbody temperature,enlargedlymphnodes, runny nose, conjunctivitis (inflam-mationof the membranesthat line the eye-lids)and acough. Within three to four daysof these symptoms,arash developsover the

lence"ofthe virus. Thevaccinationgivenisa triple-decker for measles,mumps and ru-bella. The vaccination is usually recom-mended tobegivenat 15 monthsofage. Youmaywanttocheck your shotrecords tosee ifyou have gotten it. It may be listed as"MMR." Ifyoudonothaveashotrecordandyoudon'tknowifyouhavebeenimmunizedagainstmeasles,itwouldprobably be besttoget the vaccination. If you have alreadyreceivedthe vaccination,it doesnotmatterif

Meningococcal meningitis occurs pre-dominantly in males and in the fall, winterand springof theyear.

Thesymptomsofthis infectionare gener-alizedby throbbingheadachesthat becomevery severe. Photophobia (intolerance tolight) usually becomes present due to theirritation and damage to the cranial nerve.Neck stiffness and pain is usually present.Often times, the vomiting centerin thebrainbecomes irritated andcausesprojectilevom-

iting. Confusion anddecreasedresponsive-nessare evident whenother partsofthebrainbecome irritated.

This typeofinfection canbeaveryseriousand severe infection ifnot treated properlyand promptly.

Meningococcal meningitis is usuallytreated with antibiotic therapy. For epi-demiccontrol,measursmay be initiatedbyusing chemoprophylaxis, (i.e.,useof otherantibiotic drugs) for those who feel theyhave hadclose contract with an individualwithmeningococcalmeningitis.

Thereisavaccine topreventmeningococ-calmeningitis. Again, youmany wanttocheck your shotrecords toseeifyouhavegotten the vaccination. Itmaybe listedas"MGC"onyourrecords. Again,ifyouarenot sureifyouhavegotten the vaccinationbefore, getting it twiceitis fine.

TheSeattleUniversity HealthCenter,inroom 107 of Bellarmine Hall, offers themeasles vaccination for free. You cancontact the nurse there, Audrey Ponten,RN,at296-6300. Sheismore than willingtohelpanyoneout.

Youcan alsoreceive the meningococ-cus vaccine at the fourth andBlanchardpublichealthcenter. Thecost is $48.00, a

"TheBradyBunchMovie," It's really not thatbad'TheBradyBunchMovie,"fea-turing Shelley Long, Gary Cole,ChristopherDanielBarnes,Chris-tine Taylor, Paul Sutera, JennifeElise Cox,Olivia Hack, Jesse LeeandMichealMcKean.Director:BettyThomas.RatedPG-13.

MIKE ALLENDEMovie Critic

Like many people frommy generation,Igrew up watch-ing "The Brady Bunch" rerunsevery afternoononTBS.But whenIheardthey werecoming out witha movie,Ithought, "Oh,no. Notanother one." Iwas expectingsomething at least as badas "TheFlintstones"or "TheBeverlyHill-billies." Boy, wasIwrong. Itwasn't as good as "Maverick,"which Ithink is the best of themovies based on old televisionshows,but it wasgoodenough togetmy thumbsup.

Ofcourse it'scorny,sometimes

stupid, and has an insignificantstory,but isn't that what the showwasallabout? Andessentially, themovie is justalarger extensionofthe show, which ran from 1969--1974.

For those unfamiliar with theshow,if that'spossible, itis about,well,a lovelylady with three verylovely girls who marries a mannamed Brady, whowas busy withthreeboysofhisown,andofcourse,their maid, Alice. Together theyformanunbelievablynice,friendly,ifaslightly naive,family.

In the movie, the family is stillverymuch livingin the'7os,exceptthat the restofthe worldhasmovedon into the '90s. They live inLosAngeles, surrounded by carjackings,grungemusic,promiscu-ity,gang wars,cellularphones,etc.However, the Bradys remain im-mune to these goings-on.

They still reside in the samehome, complete with an orange-colored kitchen and AstroTurflawn. Greg (Christopher DanielBarnes)sleepsonScooby Doobed

sheets andtriestakethe grooviestchick in school out for a soda.Marcia (ChristineTaylor)brushesher hair 5,000 times a day anddreams ofbeinga teenmodel,un-tilanincidentwithafootballarises.Peter(Paul Sutera)hashis squeakyvoice to deal with, and Cindy(Olivia Hack) is always happy,despite her gigantic lisp. AndBobby (JesseLee) keeps tabs oneveryone as theschoolhallmoni-tor. Meanwhile, upstairs in themaster bedroom, dad Mike (GaryCole)reads "Jonathan LivingstonSeagull" and passes onsound ad-vice ("Alone we can only movebuckets,but together wecan drainrivers")whileCarol (ShelleyLong)crochetsanduttersnumerous"Oh,Mikes!"

Muchof thestory,however,re-volves around Jan (Jennifer EliseCox), who seems to be having anervousbreakdown.Sheis inhab-itedby three voices,agoodone,abadone,and onethat sounds likethe Exorcist. She is upset thatMarcia gets all the attention,and

that"EverythingisMarcia,Marcia,Marcia." She dreams of cuttingoffMarcia's belovedhair,only tofindthateveryonepraisesMarcia'snew style.

Oh yeah, the story. Well, theBrady's neighbor,Mr.Dittmeyer(Michael McKean) is buying upallthe lots in the neighborhoodforamajor landdeal. Theonlyprob-lemis that the Bradys won't sell.Without them, the deal fallsthrough. But then he learns thatthey owe $20,000 inback taxes.Will the Bradyscomeup with thecash,or will they become home-less?

Considering what littleplot thereis, it's mind-boggling how enter-taining this film is. Thedirector,Betty Thomas, hasperfectlycap-tured the weirdadoration Americahas for this too-good-to-be-truefamily. She has made acomedythat willleave you laughingbothat whatison the screenand thenatyourself for laughing.However,Ithink youneed to know the showtogetalot of thehumor. Manyof

the circumstances arebasedonepi-sodesofthe series,andnothavinganyknowledgeofthemcouldleaveyouconfused.

Thecast is alsofirst-rate.Long,thebestknownofthe actors(from"Cheers") is great as Carol, andCole(from"MidnightCaller")cap-tures the essence of Mike Bradyperfectly. The children are alsowellcast,especially Barnes,Cox,and Taylor, who looks so uncan-nily like Marcia it willleave yourubbingyour eyes. Thereare alsocameos by, among others, theMonkees, Eric Nies from MTV.,RuPaul,Barry Williams, Christo-pher Knight, Ann B.Davis, andFlorence Henderson (the originalGreg,Peter, Alice,andCarol, re-spectively).

AsIleft the theater,Iremem-beredhow muchIdreaded havingtosee this film. A lot ofpeopleItalked to thought the movie wasabad idea in the first place. Hey,evenIthought it was. Butgiveitatry, itmight find it well worth theprice ofadmission.

Priti Darooka, along withphotoartistLindaMills,is nowon exhibit at SU's PatriciaWismerCenter forWomen. Theshow "Past Experiences;Present Expressions," is a col-lectionofpaintings byDarookaand photographs by Mills.

Both artists' work exhibitedon campus deals mainly withwomen'sissues.

Darooka, whose work hasbeen exhibited both nationallyand internationally, focuses onissues concerning Indianwomen.

"I remember my mother be-ing abused and exploitedthroughout her life." saysDarooka. "The irony about In-dian society is that the religonas wellas the culture preachesthat women are the better partofsociety, but that is not whathappens in reality."

As Darooka struggles withquestions of identity, throughher work she projects her un-derstanding of what herculturehas enforced on women.

Darooka raises issues aboutbeing a second daughter borninto a society that looks atdaughters as burdens and sonsas blessings.

"Daughtersmean dowries,sothey are unwanted. Singlewomen, widows, childless, orrather son-less women, arelooked upon as evil spirits in

society," she said."Thismakesthem dependentand hence vul-nerable to abuse and exploita-tion

"Tom&Viv"worthseeingtwice"Tom& Viv,"featuringMiranda Richardson & TimDutton.Director:Brian Gilbert

Rated "R"

KATY KOENENMovie Critic

"Tom&Viv"is the storyofT.S.Eliot and his wife, VivienneHaigh-Wood, orasacolleagueofmine put it,"his first wife,youmean, theonewhowasinstitutionalized." _

"Tom andViv" is anin-teresting movie on manycounts. For instance, al-though there was theocca-sional allusion to Eliot'spoetry(withvaryinglevelsofsubtlety), and toliteraryfiguresof the period,suchas Virginia Woolf,IwasparticularlycaughtbyViv'smedical diagnosis. Toldfrom the perspective ofVivienne's brotherMaurice (Pronounced "Morris,"not "Moreece") it is more Viv'sfilm than Tom's.

Accused of not being able to"control her menstruation"Vivienne Eliot wasinstitutional-izedfor the kindofhormonal im-balance for which womennowa-days are put on hormone treat-ments.Ihave yet tomeetawomanwhocancontrolher menstruationby strength of will. It's a trickIwould paymoney tolearn.

The scholar and feminist in medrawsmy attention to the misogy-nistic diagnosis and treatment ofViv's "woman troubles."(Iwrotemy master'sthesisonJanetFrame,anAustralian writier whowasmis-diagnosed as having schizophre-nia).But itis the film lover inmethatdrewme to themovie itself. Arich but restrained film, "Tom &Viv" wasawonderfulfilm towatch.While it is easy to see expansive

Iwas also impressed with theactors in this one. Ihave nevermuch cared for Willem Dafoe,Ihave always thought him afairlywoodenactor.He is,nevertheless,exactly the right kind of ugly toplay T.S. Eliot. Whatever wood-enness Imay have complainedabout in the past seems to workwell in terms of the revered poetfromSt.Louis, whowantedto "bemoreEnglish than the English."Ihave never seen Miranda

Richardson play thesame woman twice,andthis movie is noexcep-tion.Richardsonismar-velous as the hormon-ally imbalanced andoutrageousViv.

New to me was TimDutton, who playsVivenne'sbrother whoneverquite "foundhim-self," and who wasgrateful for the chancetobeagreat whitehunterinAfrica

landscapes and coo about howwonderful the cinematography is,the interior scenes were interest-inglylitand framed. DirectorßrianGilbert has taken care to indicateMaurice's awe of Eliot by usingtight close-ups that use light andshadow to make the poet look allthe more enigmatic and intense,whileusingairier mid-to-longshotsto present the almost-guilelessVivienne. It seems to me that thismust takemoreextraordinarytalent.

haps disappoint-ingly), this was neither abiog-raphy of Eliot, nor a particu-larly "literary" film in termsofshowcasing Eliot's poetry.Rather, it is a movie based onthe Eliots' lives. It is the storyofunrequited love surviving inspiteofeverything.It couldbean "anybody" movie, but hap-pens to take Tom and VivienneEliot as its principals. It is cer-tainly worthseeing,perhaps twice.

I As SeattleUniversity plans for anew StudentCenter,it must consider theneeds of as many studentsas possible so that thebuilding can truly be a center-piece of the SUcommunity.

Inorder for the Student Center tobring theSUcommunity together, thebuilding must includecertainkey facilities. Here is a wish list of some newandold ideas for theStudent Center:*A central location on campus, such as the

preferred site where theCity Light substationis currently located.*A sky bridge over James Street if theStudentCenterisbuilt at thepreferred site.* 24 hourcomputer lab and study lounge.* A food court.*A coffee shop.*Offices for student services and clubs.*An information and resource center that offersinformation about the campus andsurround-ing community.*Alumni center.*Anauditorium for concerts andmovies.*ATM bankingserviced by a variety ofbanksinaddition to other personal fullbankingservices.*Aconvenience store.*Avideo rental store.*Entertainment suchas an arcade,pool hallandping pong tables.*A disco club. (Wecan all dreama little,can'twe?)

Watch out for meetingsand forums so youcanvoice yourconcerns about thedirectionof thenewStudentCenter. Getting involved is the only way tomake sure this Student Center is somethingof whichpresent and future studentscan be proud.

Nomoralreason todeny womenlegalrights toabortionItakestrongexception tosomees-

Manypeople in thepro-life move-mentequateabortionwithmurder.Butconsider the legalandother implica-tions ofdoing so: women and theirdoctorsjailedforconspiracy to"com-mit" abortion; women imprisoned(shackled?) toprevent them fromin-ducing abortion themselves; womenandtheirdoctorsjailed(perhaps evenexecuted)for "committing"abortions;aridwomenaxitinuingtofaceunwantedpregnancies(unwantedoftenbecauseofthe impoverishedor abusivecondi-tionsin whichthe womenlive),resort-ingagainto"hack-alley"abortionswiththeirgraverisksofinfectionanddeath.

Now,I'Dgrantthatifabortionreallywere morally equivalent to murder,thenitoughttobepunishedassuch.Butabortionisnotmurder,thatis,therearesound reasons for not considering itmurder.Hencethescenariosdescribedabove would constitute grave viola-tionsofwomen'srights.

Pro-life advocates often claim thattheir view is the only one consistentwiththeChristian faith.ButnowhereintheBibleis abortiontreatedasmurder.Further, the idea that "ensoulment"occursatconceptionisbasedondubi-ousmetaphysicsandshoddy"science"and,significantly,wasnotaviewheldbyThomasAquinas.Inthecontempo-rarychurch,manyProtestantssupportapro-choiceposition,andthereisagrow-

ingmovementcalled Catholics for aFree Choice (writethemat 1436UStN.W., Suite 301, Washington, DC20009,orcontactEileenLyonsHumeinSeattle,72M753).Idonot deny that fromconception

the zygote/embryo/fetus is a humanbeing. (It wouldbesilly toargueotber-wise;it'sobviously notanyother kindofbeing.) I'malsoawarethat the fetalnervoussystemandheartbegintofunc-tionearlyinthepregnancy. However,duringmostofthepregnancy,diefetussimply does not have thephysical ca-pacitytosuffer ortobeconscious. (Inspite of the claims made inpro-lifeliterature and films like "The SilentScream,"areflexmovement isnotanindication ofconsciousness or suffer-ing.)

Thecerebral cortex,the seat ofhu-manconsciousiiessandpersonhood(andtheonlycredible homeof the "soul")doesnotbegintofunctionuntil thesixthorseventhmonth,apointroughlycon-temporaneous with viability (whichlargely depends upon lung develop-ment).And99percent ofallabortionsperformedinthiscountryoccurprior totheonsetofsentienceorconsciousness.(On fetal development,IrecommendTheFactsqfLtfe:ScienceandtheAbor-tionControversybyHaroldMomwit/andJamesTrefil,1992.)

Of course, many pregnancies areavoidable. Manycouples whoaren'treadytorearchildrenhavesexanywaywithoutusing contraceptives. That'sirresponsible. Buteven whencontra-ceptivesare usedconsistently, they'renot 100 percent effective. And an

alarming number of women becomepregnantbyforce(i.e.,rape).

No womanI'veknown who'scon-sideredhavinganabortionhasdonesocasuallyorasa"quick fix";formost,itis oneof themostagonizingdecisionsthey will evermake.

Very few abortions in this countryinvolve fetuses that arepossibly sen-tient Late-term abortions are greatlyrestrictedunder federal law,andtomyknowledgeonly occurin cases wherethemother'slifeisendangeredorwhenthefetusis discoveredtohaveagravedisease or handicap. These are verytragicsituations,tobesure,butabortioneven then is not immoral for beingtragic. Itisempirically ridiculousandmorally wrongtoequateabortion withatrocityortheHolocaust

Hungry for America's game: Baseball strike is a drag

MARYSpectatorColumnist

"In theBeginning,there wasnobaseball.Buteversince therehavebeen fewbeginningsasgoodas thestartofanewbaseballseason.Itis the most splendid time in sport" (B. J.Phillips).

Lastweek,springtrainingofficiallyopened,andIbeganmyspringtimeritualofporingoversportspages,examiningmajor league rosters,memorizing spring training schedules anddreaming of running away toArizona for aweekofbeingableacher bum. Afterall,mid-Februarymeans that springis around thecor-ner,and the lazydaysof summer will followclose behind. The radio is always set to abaseball game andIbeginmy mornings byabsorbing the information intheboxscores.

Earlierthis week,however,asIbeganmyritual in earnest by poring over the list ofMariners currently incamp,Ifelt a wave ofwistfulnessbreakoverme asIdiscovered thatIonlyknew asmallpercentageof thenames.After agonizingformonths over the statusofJay Buhner's contract or Alex Rodriguez'swinter ballperformance,Ifelt alittle deflatedwhenPatRiceandGeorgeGlinatsis toppedthelistof names.

Six months into thebaseball strike,afterlisteningtolegalwranglingandfailednegotia-tions,itishardnot tobedisillusioned with thewholemess.NomatterwhatCongressdecidestodoregardinglegislationorrevokingtheanti-trustexemption,and nomatterhow the strikeeventuallygetssettled,thebehaviorofboththe

ownersand theplayershascastapallover thegame.

Nonetheless, inspiteof the fact that thecurrent labor dispute remains unresolved,spring trainingcamps haveopenedagain,anda new season promises to begin, evenif itsplayersarenot theonesmajorleaguefanshavebeenseeingforthelastfew years.Notall thesereplacementplayers,however,arestrangerstofans of the game.

Manyof them will likelybe some of thecareer minor-leaguers fans haveseen at theirlocalminor-leagueparks,playing foryearsforthe love of the gamerather than the fat pay-checks that will ensure their ability to retirepermanently at the ageof 35. Sure, someoftheseminor-leaguersplay for the prospect ofpaychecks tocome whentheymake it to "theshow"but theyalsoexhibit adedication tothegamethatcannotbeexplainedawayinmerelyfinancialterms.

As fans, we should exhibit someof thesame dedication. Ihaveheardalot ofpeople

whoclaimtheyarediehard fanssay that theywillnotgo toanothergame untilKenGriffeyJr.andBarryBonds take the fieldonceagain,butIcan't relate totheir reasoning.

For thecasualfan,thelureofthebignamesand the showmanship of the major leaguesmight be whatthey look forin thegame,andIcan understand their reluctance to go to re-placement games. Forpeople whotruly lovethe game, however, this enthusiasm is quiteseparatefrom the names on the backs of thejerseyson the field.Icanbe justashappysittinginthebleach-

ers at Everett Memorial Stadium watchingkids my ownageor youngerplayingball asIamattheKingdomewatching the teamIhavefollowedforyears.Itisn'tabout thequality oftheseplayers'performances, but theconnec-tion to the past and to the future that theyembody,andof whichIcanbeapartevenasIsit in thebleachers.

Baseball ismorethan just agame ofballsand strikes, ofruns and outs,of pennantsandcellar-dwellers. Itisagame in whichhistorylivesandbreathes inthepresent,and in whichthe future always lookspromising. Thegameitselfhashardlychangedforgenerations,andduring this time it has often provided thelanguage throughwhichfathers andsonshavetriedtocommunicate.

In 1966,Lawrence Ritter said that "thestrongest thingbaseball hasgoing for it todayisitsyesterdays."Ifwelet thestrikedisillusion

us to thepoint wherebaseball's todays disap-pear, the continuities and traditions oftomorrow'syesterdayswillhavecrumbled. Astupidfinancial dispute,not sodifferent reallyfromothersthathaveblurredthegame,shouldnot tarnish the magic in the history and thefutureofbaseball. As theotherdisputes wereresolved, so this one will be in time, and truefans should not have walked away in themeantime.

"Baseball isalot likelife.The tinedrivesarecaught,the squibbersgo for basehits. It'sanunfairgame"(RodKanehl).Rightnow,thegameis imitatingsomeofthemoredepressingsidesof life,butwecan'tlet thatstopus.Bothsides arebeinggreedy,but thatdoesn't meanweshouldgiveup. Asfans, wehavetotakethegoodwith the bad, just like wedo withlife.

So whetheryougotomajor league gamesthisyearifthestrike continues,orifyou useitasanopportunity tocheck outthenewTacomaRainiers, thecoming of springstill means areturn to the game which we shouldn't aban-donover theproblemsof individualscurrentlyinvolvedinit. Let'scontinue toporeover therosters, read the paper to findout times anddates forradiobroadcastsandconvenienthomegames to attend, and even plan our trip toCooperstown.Aboveall,let'sPLAYBALL!

How does one choose amajor?

io^iitor

How didIcome to choosephi-losophy as a major? In answeringthis question for myself,IhopeIcan provide insights on how oneshouldchooseamajor.Itisthe leastIcan doafter five yearsofcollege.

Inmy first yearat theUniversityof WashingtonIfelt completelylost. Mediocrity seemed to be thestandard formoststudents andlikemoststudentsIembracedmedioc-rity wholeheartedly.ThesayingatUWwent:

/ amMr.Median.IamMr.Mean.GivemeaCAndI'llacceptithappily.

RLuckily for me,Itransferred to:attle University where Imade

the fatefulswitch frommechanicalengineeringto philosophy. It wasmy early success in philosophycoursesthatshowedmethatIshoulddevotemy timetophilosophy. Twoexperiencesproveddecisive inmyswitch tophilosophy.

Experienceone:The question, "What is

Hermeneutics?"aroseinoneofmyearlyphilosophycourses.Iraisedmyhand up confidently

andanswered, "Hermeneutics is abranchinphilosophyspelledH-E-R-M-E-N-E-U-T-I-C-S. It was aphilosophicalmovementstartedbythe famous French philosopherJean-Claude Pierre Hermit as a

Eod tointerpret the underlyingiemessagesof the AmericanKermit theFrog."

"Thank you,"theprofessorsaid,"Phan,pleaseseeme afterclass."

"He wantstocongratulate meona jobwell done,"Ithought.

After class theprofessor said,"Idon't think this class is right foryou."

"No.No.No.Don'tworryaboutme,"Iresponded."Idon'tmindif

thisclassis onlyarefreshercoursefor me.Next time there is a ques-tion, I'll stay quiet so the otherstudents will havea chance toan-swer it.Ididn't realize my bril-liance could be so intimidating totheotherstudents."Inever answered another ques-

tionin thatclass again and thepro-fessor seemedecstatic.

"Job welldone,"Ithought.Experiencetwo:One day Irandomly opened

Plato: the CollectedDialogues toSocrates

'Defense (Apology)where

Socrates said, "Iam onlytoocon-scious thatIhave noclaim to wis-dom,great orsmall."

Wow!Incredible!Fantastic!Ihadbeendoingphilosophy allmy lifeandIdidn'tevenknow it.

Ever since elementaryschool,Ialwaysansweredmy teachers withablank face, ashrug of theshoul-ders, and the profound (I did notknow then that Iwas beingpro-found) remark, "Idunno?!? DoIlook like I'm smart or anything?Aren't you the teacher?If youare,thenwhyare youaskingme?"Sure,Iwasn't as eloquent as Socrates,but for a young kid,Iwas darnclose. * * *

Although thesigns thatIshouldswitch tophilosophy wereclear, itwasn't aneasydecision.Everyone,evenpeopleontheInternet,warnedme that it was financial suicide.Thesenegative thinkers obviously

haven't heard the storyof Thales.Thales, considered the earliestGreek philosopher, bought up alltheolivepressesoneyearandthere-fore controlledamonopoly on theolive oil market. With this cleverdecisionhebecame veryrich.

To all those people who madefun of me for switching from me-chanicalengineeringtophilosophy,Ilaughinyour faces.

Okay,I'lladmit it.Afterreadingthis column you are still wonder-ing,"How does onechoosea ma-jor?" I've eluded answering thisquestion long enough, but for avery good reason:Ineeded to fillthis space withabout 600 words.IfIjustansweredthequestionexplic-itly,itwould' yejusttakenabout 30words. And that would be unac-ceptable for layout reasons.Anyways, here is my advice onhow to choose a major: If youchoose amajor because youenjoyit, find it challenging, and feel asthough it helps you fulfill somedeeper purpose in your life, thenyou are on the right track. WriterNatalie Goldberg putsit this way,"Trust in what youlove, continuetodo it,and it will take you whereyouneedtogo."

SU-iddeIJAMESCOLUNS

It seems things are cyclicalWhenIfirst arrivedon this

campus fouryearsago(althoughsomeofyoumust thinkI'yebeenhere since the Dark Ages), Se-attle University Sports was inmany respects,quitebluntly,anembarrassment. Not somuchinthe talent of the players or thequality of teams fielded, but inthe senseof facilities,gamecon-ditions,fan supportand, aboveall, attention from thisuniversity'sadministration.

Timehaschangedmostofthat.Connolly Center, while hardlyRuppArenaor theDeanDome,hasturnedintoacozyhomecourtthat treatsitsChieftains well(SUmen's and women's basketballteams are a combined 14-5 athome this season). The newsoccer field,opened last fall,isoneofthebestintheNorthwest.Crowds, actual masses ofhumanityrelatively interestedinSUsports,nowturnoutforsoccerand basketball games. Fans,thanks inlargepartto theeffortsof the Jammin' Jesuits club,arenumerous and enthusiastic.Local media coverage hasincreased.

ButI'm afraid this is about tochangeagain. For the worse.

There has been talk recentlyof Seattle University droppingits current affiliation with theNational Association ofIntercollegiateAthletics(NAIA)and joining the NationalCollegiateAthletic Association(NCAA).

There are differentclassifications among both theNAIA andtheNCAA,andthereis a story in this paper alreadyabout which division allowswhat. Icould write four pageson the differences,but itreallyall boils down to this: all thedivisions, both NAIA andNCAA, allow talent-basedscholarshipsforstudent-athletes,butone:NCAADivision HI.

Guess whichoneourschool isseriouslyconsideringamoveto?

Theadministrationhasformeda task force to investigate theoptionsthatlaybeforeUniversitySports.SUcurrentlyhasanofferto join Puget Sound, PacificLutheran and ahost of Oregonprivate schools in forming theNCAA Division 111 NorthwestConference of IndependentColleges.

There is also the option ofcreatinganothernewconference,this one aligned with NCAA

Division 11. It could consist ofSU, Seattle Pacific (alreadyanNCAAD-IIprogram), andotherschoolslikeWesternWashingtonand Central Washington, manyof which are, with SU, currentmembers of the NAIA PacificNorthwest Athletic Conference.Thisnew league,however,isonlyaproposalatthis stage,while theNCICis reality.

Why isSUsoanxious toleavethe NAIA? Inall the hustleandbustle of these new proposals,perhaps that question has neveradequatelybeenanswered.

There is the sense that on anational level, the NAIA is introuble. Its membership isdecliningas schoolsseek to jointhe expandingNCAA,and thustheassociationhasfallenonsomehard financial times. How longbeforeit goes under, no one cansay for certain. It could be twoyears, itcould be ten. It mightnever happen. But no schoolwantstobeone of thepassengersonthe Titanic scrambling foroneof the fewremaininglifeboats,soprograms are consideringotheropportunities.Icannot argue this approach.

Much better to face a problembefore it happens, especially ifyoucan see it coming.YetifSUdoes opt forDivision 111,Idonotsee itas apositivemove.

Without scholarships,SUwillhave trouble attracting greatstudent-athletes. Thepowersthatbe will argue this point untilthey'reblueinthe face,butthatisthe truth. In the hard-driving,competitive world of collegeathletics,money talks. SUis anexpensive school. Why comehereandpayyour way whensomeother schooliswillingtohelpyouout?

Withoutgreatstudent-athletes,SUwillstruggletocompete.Oncein the NCIC, SU would faceschools like Willamette andLinfield that haveoperated on alimited-scholarship basis foryears withNAIAD-11. Theseareprograms that are located inrelatively small towns or insuburbanareas, wherelocalhighschoolstandouts arejustas likelytogo tocollege across the streetas anywhere else. These placesknow the tricks, know theloopholesin financial aid. Theyhave experience with restrictedfunding. Theyknowhow tobringin kids from the surroundingareas.

SU, though,doesn'thave thatluxury, simply because of itslocation.HighschoolplayersarestarsinSeattle: theygetrecruitedbyUW, by WSU, by California

Lady Chieftains pick up a winVictory over UPS snaps three-game losing streak

JAMES COLLINSSportsEditor

After a tough three-game skid,the Seattle University women'sbasketball team turnedaway fromits perimeter-dominated offenseand focused its efforts in the lowpost.

Junior center Amy Kuchanscored29points and seniorpowerforward Malinda Zamperahauledin 18 rebounds and blocked fiveshots as the Lady Chieftainsdefeated the University of PugetSound 68-62 at the ConnollyCenter.

The victory ended SU's four-game slideinthePacific NorthwestAthleticConferenceandimprovedthe Chieftains' record to 4-7 inleague, 12-14 overall. With onePNWACgame remaining,a roaddateagainstCWU onFriday,SU isinfifthplaceintheleaguestandings.

TheLadyChieftains haven'tlostto their Tacoma-based rivals inthisdecade,includinga64-56 winat UPS in January. Tuesday, theLoggers appeared ready to snapthat streak.

It wasKuchan whostepped upfirst for the Chieftains, scoringseven quick points. The trio ofKuchan, Zamperaand sophomoreMarneMaloneycombined toscoreSU'sfirst 18points overall,buttheChieftains still trailedby 10 with7:08 togomthe firstperiod.SUcutthe lead to four, then to three,butthe two teams went scorelessoverthe final 2:20 toend thehalf. TheLoggers went to the locker roomleading 34-31.

SU fell behind by nine in theearly going of the second half,trailing 42-33 with just threeminuteselapsedintheperiod.ButAngie Howells' three-pointerignited an 11-0 Chieftain run thatgave them their first lead, 44-42,with12:48 toplay.

The lead changed hands eightmoretimesinthenextnineminutes,withneither teamable tobuildmorethan a three-point edge. Kuchanborethescoringburden welldownthe stretch,dropping infieldgoalsand free throws with frighteningefficiency. Zampera,meanwhile,continued to assault the boardsferociously, limiting theLoggers'chanceson theoffensive glass.

With 3:10 to go,Kuchan's twofree throws gave the Chieftains a56-55 lead. UPS responded

quickly, with Kasa Tupua's layupjustsevensecondslaterrecapturingthe advantagefor theLoggers.

Downbyone on theirown floor,facing the possibility of a fourthstraight league loss anda anotherdisheartening effort, the LadyChieftains responded.

Chieftains keep PNWAC pulse withpair of winsMen ys basketball drops Simon Fraser in double OT, upsetsLC State on road

JAMES COLLINSSportsEditor

Inaseasonfilledwithunexpectedtwists and turns, perhaps it wasfitting that the Seattle Universitymen'sbasketball team wouldsaveitsbiggest effort for the endof thePacific Northwest AthleticConference schedule.

The Chieftains reeled off twocritical PNWAC victories lastweek,outlastingthird-placeSimonFraserathome93-91inamarathondouble-overtime game, thendealingsecond-placeLewis-ClarkState a stunning 99-78 thrashingon theroad. SUcontinues toholdontofifthplaceat5-7(9-17overall)withno leaguegames remaining,though its eventual standing willdepend on the outcome of otherleaguecontestsyet tobeplayed.

While the remainder of thePNWAC teams each have twoleague games this week, theChieftains are in Hawaii to faceHawaii Pacific tonight and BYU-Hawaii on Saturday. When SUreturns homenext week,they willknow theirdestination for the firstroundof the PNWACplayoffs.

LastThursday'sshootoutagainstSimon Fraser started out ratherlistlessly, then slowly gainedenergy andexcitement as neitherteam seemed willing to succumb.After two extra periods, SU hadsnappedits two-gamelosingstreakand avengedan earlier loss to theClansmen.

LThe Chieftains led mostof thesthalf,onlybrieflysurrendering

their advantageas SFUtook apairof one-point leads that didn'tsurvive the ensuing SUpossessions. A three-pointer byfreshman forward MarkStotHemyre,justhis secondof the

year,closedouttheChieftains'first

halfscoring,andSUled42-39 atthebreak. On the strength of a trioofthree-pointers,SU's Dan Conoverled all scorers with12 points.

In thesecondhalf,theChieftainswere unable to shake those peskyClansmen. SU leads lasted onlyseconds as Simon Fraser, led byguard Dave Dyck and centerPeterGuarasci, began to heat up. TheClansmen held a 71-68 lead with4:15 toplay.

SU's guards were up to thechallenge. Two free throws and alayupbyAndreLangwere followedby another three-pointer fromConover in a90-second span, andthe Chieftains led by four. SFU,though, would score the last fourpoints of regulation and forceovertime. TheChieftains ledearlyin the firstextraset, thenfellbehindwith just overaminute toplay. Afoul-linejumperbyConoverknottedthe score at81-81at the 1:03mark,and bothteams wouldgoscorelessinthe final minute.

In double OT, the Chieftainbackcourt literally stole the show.Lang scored the first basket of theperiod, but SFU's Dyck answeredwitha three. Langmade the frontendofaone-and-one totie thescore,and the Clansmen scored again toreclaim the lead.

Then, with 1:47 togo, Conoverhithissixththree-pointerofthegametoputSUupbyone.JoshMcMillionaddedafree throw 30 seconds later,andtheChieftains heldatwo-pointedge. ButDaveDyck hadone lastheroicmoment leftinhim,canningatrey,hisfourthof thenight, togiveSimonFraseran89-88 leadwith57secondremaining.

Asthe shotclock wounddownonSU's followingpossession, AndreLang found himself dribbling the

ballat the topof thekey,ascenarioplayedouthundredsoftimesbefore.This time, in the clutch, Langlaunched an arcing three with 29second remainingthat pierced thenet and regained the lead for theChieftains,91-89.

As the Clansmen tried to set upfor their final possession,apass tothe right wing was picked off bySU's Kenny Bush, who raced thelengthofthe floor forahammeringdunk with three seconds left,icingthe win. A long two-pointer byGuarasci dropped inat the buzzer,but itwasn'tenough toprevent the93-91 Chieftain win.

Guarasci and Conover led allplayers with 23 points; the SFUcenteradded13 rebounds,whiletheChieftainguardconnected onsixof10 three-point attempts. Lang,despite a six-for-18 shootingperformance,finished with20pointsandsixassists, whileBushadded14points and four steals. Dave Dyckhad 18points for the Clansmen.

TheChieftainsprovidedanencoreto thatvirtuosoperformance witha99-78 road upset of Lewis-ClarkState. TheWarriorshadvanquishedSU by 16points intheirmeetinginSeattle and boasted a 9-2 homerecord prior to Saturday's game.Conversely, the Chieftains had notwon a league road game yet thisseason,

But thanks toseniorcenterJaredRobinson, SU got out to a quickstart, always a good sign for thisteam. Robinson scored 10points inthe first 10minutesas SUracedoutto a 17-8 lead. TheChieftain leadhoveredaroundadozen points therest of the half, with Kenny Bushsinkinga pair of free throws rightbefore intermission to put SU up43-28.

In the second period, the

Chieftains began to live off thecharity ofLC State fouls. SUshot33 free throws in the final 20minutes,making 25of those, whileattempting just 24 fieldgoals.

A fieldgoalby AndreLanggavethe Chieftains a 59-39 lead with14:30 togo,and the Warriors wereeffectively finished. LCStatepulledto within 12 points, down 85-73with 2:34 to play, but six straightfoulshots by the Chieftains endedthe Warriors' lastchallenge.

Bush led SU with a career-high22pointsand ninerebounds while

combining withLangtoholdLonniePerteet, LC State's top scorer, tojust 16 points on four-of-16shooting.Robinsonadded18pointsfor the Chieftains, while Langfinished with 16 points and sevenassists.
