Nursing students face late graduationbyDanDonohoe

Some angrynursingstudents,denied theirplannedgraduationdate, fear another tui-tion increase, losing financial aid and mis-sing theircertificateexams,and they blameovercrowdingin theSchoolofNursing.

Nine students in the large class of 1985now awaitgraduation either in the summerorthe fallofthatyear.

The class of '85 kicked off fall 1981 with65 freshmen, 30 studentsmorethan thepre-vious year, yet after a large enrollment ofsophomore transfer students the totalreached110 thefollowing fallquarter.

According to Delores Gaut, dean of thenursing school, the university will limit fu-ture numbers of transfer students and keepeachclasslevelatabout80 students.

"Wearenotgoingtobring in110anymoreandhopefully(wewill) work onmorefresh-mencomingin," sheadded.

Nursing is listedas a four-year study atS.U., and those missing graduation thatspring cannot take the Registered NursingState Boards

—anursing certification test—

inJune 1985—

and must await thenext test-inginFebruary1986.

Junior nursing major Tami Schnell ex-pressed angerover the situation, saying shefearsanother tuitionincreaseby the fallafterher original graduation date and a possiblelossof financial aidforbeing forcedto takeless thantheminimum12 creditsduring thespring when she shouldhave a full load forspringgraduation.

"Everybody has their own problems todealwith, thenursingschoolshouldhavecontactedus to seeif it'sOK togo fall quar-ter,orat leastinformus,"Schnellsaid.

Gaut said the school will accommodatethestudentsbybringinginanextra teacherinthe summer of 1985 if all nineenroll.ShealsosaidthatTomLongin, vicepresident foracademic affairs, willallow them to partici-pate in June 1985 commencement cere-monies, although each will be 15 creditsshortofgraduation.

One nursing student saidthat I.origin re-ceived several phone calls last week fromangryparents. Alsolast week, 16 spring '85students were originally listed as fall '85graduates, "and they changed the othersevenwithablinkofaneye,but theyhavenoreasontodo thistome,"Schnellsaid.

During registration, she added,a studentcanonly statea"preference" for electivesornursingclasses,but theregistrationdecisionsaremadeby thenursing advisersandpostedon first-floor bulletinboardin the nursingbuilding.

OnTuesday, theboardlistedSchnell andsevenothersas fall '85 graduateswithoutex-planationnor mention of commencementandthesummer '85course.

Nursingduringthe thirdandfourthyearsinvolves a progression of courses that re-quires a 2.0 gpa in each previous course.Junioryearis filledwithadult,pediatricandmaternalchild nursing and senior year haspsychology nursing and community ad-vancednursing (fieldexperience).

According to university policy, nursingstudents who fail a community course willfalloutofsequence with thenursingcurricu-lum and face readmission to a course on a"spaceavailablebasis."

"I flunked a theory course,not a clinical(community).A theory course isn'ton spaceavailablebasis, andit's totally a spaceprob-lemin theschool and they aren'tcommuni-catingwith thenineofus,"Schnellsaid.

Ifthesituationdoesn'tclear,Schnellsaidaletter of protest is written and ready to besent toGaut,Longin,andWilliamSullivan,S.J., university president.

AccordingtoGaut, theuniversitywillhiretwo part-time facultymembersnext year toease overcrowdedclasses. Gaut said, how-ever, that the school has not increased facultydespite the high enrollment. The number ofteachers has remainedat 17 since1980.

Nursing major Brenda Leonard, a non-traditional (over25) student, saidsheis alsoupset over the postponed graduation. Be-causeshe works 30 hours a week as a nightnurse inLoyolaHall'sinfirmary,shehad apetition approvedby Gaut which allowedher to take fewer credits each quarter andgraduate in springof '85. She said she also

Housing policyto fine studentsfor early exitA $250 penalty charged to students who

moveoutof theresidence hallsin themiddleofthe yearwillbegintobeenforcednext fall,according to Bryan Brunette, dormcouncilpresident.

The clause was present in last year'shousing contract, but not enforced. Thepenalty is intended to discourage studentsfrom moving out of the dorms without alegitimatereason.

At the beginning of fallquarter 1983, thedormshoused996students.They nowhouse659 students, a disparity concerning dormcounciland the residencehall staff becauseoftherevenueloss.

Brunettesaid students whomoveout justbecause their friends are or because theydon't like the noise in the dorms will becharged the fine,butaddedagrievancecom-mittee will hear appeals of students withspecialcircumstances.

Thecommitteewillincludea facultymem-ber,adormcouncil student, and a student-at-large,said Brunette, adding a legitimatecircumstance for leaving might be financialproblems.

Hecitedthemuchstricterpoliciesof com-parableuniversities,which thedormcouncilstudiedbeforetheenforcementwasput intoeffect. GonzagaUniversity charges studentsbreaking the contract full semester expenseofaroomif theymoveout.

Calling theenforcementa "safeguard forbudgeting," Brunette saidstudents movingout in the middle of the year cost the resi-dence halls too much money. "If we wereable toconsolidate, we couldclose betweentwo and three floors," saving onmainten-anceandutilityexpenses.

However, such consolidation would beunfair tostudents whosefloors wereselectedforclosurebutdidnot want tomove,hesaid.

Police,media coveragecasual inprostitution-related,Greenriver murdercases, YWCAdirector charges

by AnneHotzFor alot ofpeoplewholeavehome andgo

to the streets to live, prostitution is seen asthe waytomaintainthemselvesandbeestab-lished, saidWinnieNazarko,directorot theShelter forBattered Women at the Univer-sityYWCA.

Nazarko addressed a women'sgroup ofabout15 atSeattle Central CommunityCol-lege on the Greenriver serial murders andtalked about the community's response,media coverage,andpolice reactions to thedeaths of 21 prostitutes and three otherwomen. Thirteen women are still missingandareassumed tobevictims of theGreen-rivermurderer.*'Veryoften,kidswholeavehomeandendup hookingare from abusivehomes," saidNazarko, adding, "I think it's a fairly un-usual thing for children at an early age towant to leave a home situation that is notabusive."

She addedmany feelthat inorder to sur-vive,they have toleavehome.Livingalifeofprostitution isasuperior option toliving inanabusivehomeenvironment.

"A 13-year-old who is living in a happy

household wherepeoplearerespected,doesnot wakeupin themorninganddecide'Bye,Mom,I'mgoingoff to beahooker.' It justdoesn'twork thatway,"saidNazarko.

Kids whohavebeenphysicallyandsexual-lyabused feel that their onlyoptionis to beon their own and from there lead a life ofprostitution,saidNazarko.

Nazarkoadded that for many, prostitu-tionis the key to economic survival. In theU.S., there are between100,000 and 1 mil-lionjuvenileprostitutes.

Nazarkosaidshe feels themediacoverageof the Greenrivermurders is "beginningtochange slightly because of criticism fromwomen's groups and other people in thecommunity."

In her estimation, the coverage washandled casually andsomewhat crudelybe-causethe victims wereprostitutes.

Nazarko went on to say the process oflabelinghasaneffect onhow weregardthevictim and how seriously we take it whensomeone isdamagedorinjured.

"Womeninoursocietyarevaluedalotbytheir sexualbehavior andwhere they lieonthevirgincontinuum,''shesaid.

"Ifa womanis one whogives it away, iseasy,or sellsit, thenthatisconsidered someform of prostitution. But, if a woman islivingaccordingto thesexual rules that havebeen set by society, that is all right," saidNazarko.

She added because the women in theGreenriver deaths have been prostitutes,there wasvery littlepoliceinvestigation,re-sulting in harsh criticism from thecommunity.

Nazarko contrasted the Greenriver kill-ings to the Ted Bundy case 10 years agowhereseveral white Universityof Washing-tonstudentsweremurdered.

She said the policereaction to theBundymurders was much more immediate aswas the media coverage and communityresponse.

Until recently, Nazarko said there wasverylittleleadershipfrom thecountygovern-ment in investigating the Greenriver mur-ders. The investigating force started withonly two to fourpeopleand increased to atask force of about 40 and is under countyjurisdictionof the King County Police De-partments

Panelists debate key medical ethics questionsbyCarolRyan

KUsingthe caseofKarenAnnQuinlanas anstorical springboard, the founder of a

medicalethics think tank discussed whatheconsiders today's most significant issues inmedicine.

Over 200 professionals from area hospi-talsheardWillardGaylin,M.D.,andapanel*of localmedical specialists at a St. Cabrinisymposium,"MedicalEthics: TheDanger ofLookingfor Easy Answers"at the Washing-tonAthleticClubFriday.

Gaylin,apsychiatrist inprivatepracticeinNew York,citedseveralcases wherepatientsweretakentocourt to force themtoreceivemedical treatment for potentially life-threateningconditions.

"I find that an outrage,"saidGaylinofacase involvingaNew Jerseywomanwhowasdiagnosedasmentally incompetent becausesherefusedtohaveher legamputated.

Gaylin included inhismorningpresenta-tionsuch issuesastheculturalacceptanceofdoctor's authorityover individuals, the useof organsandbloodfrom deadbodies,andwhether suicide shouldbe considereda ra-

s tionaldecision.Responding to the first part of Gaylin's

keynote address, panelistRoyce Morrison,M.D.,president of the St.Cabrinimedicalstaff, said he agreed withGaylin that U.S.doctors deal with ethical questions as theycomeup in thehospital.

"We try todealwith these situationsprag-matically,"saidMorrison,addingthat find-ing the motivationand time to study themotherwiseisdifficult.

Another panelist, KathyMossing, R.N.,assistantdirectorofnursingat Cabrini, saidthe rapid advances made in medical treat-ment raisethe question "Have we tradedincaringfortechnicalefficiency?"

Yet despite the doubts she professed,

Mossing laterdefendednursing asmaintain-ing its traditionalrole as a "patient advo-cate," someone who aids a hospitalizedperson whenmaking decisions about treat-ment.

Gaylin reportedbetween20 and 30 stateshaveagreedthata patientis deadafter24-48hoursofno recordedbrain activity, adopt-ingthatas theirlegaldefinitionofdeath.

This definition raises questions of usingextraordinarymeans to keepdying peoplealive, theroleof the statein legallydecidingindividuals' medical treatment, and thedominance of the attitude that "Doctorknowsbest,"Gaylinsaid.

Thepanelusedacase involvingamanwholived on the streets of New York City andcontracted gangrenewhencrossingManhat-tan in freezing weather for medical care.When he refused to allowdoctors to ampu-tate his gangrenous feet, he was taken tocourt to forcehistreatment.

Panelist ThomasMcCormick, a bioethi-cistfrom theUniversityof Washington, saidthe state was impinging on Simmons thewishes of health care providers, failing torespecthis righttoself-determination.

Earlierinhis presentation,Gaylin distin-guished between decisions involving thetreatmentofchildrenand thatoftheelderly.Hesaidfor a child, the futureis everything,whereasthe elderly regard the past as mostsignificant.

Therefore,Gaylinconcluded, interveningin thechildren shouldnotbeequatedwithanadult'sexertionofautonomy.

Gaylin emphasizedhow adapted this cul-ture is to technological medicine, sayingAmericansfunctionso oftenunder thisinsti-tution, they assumeit is theonlyhealthcarealternative.

Gaylin brought out his sense of humor,death, describing many people's idea of

health as "droppingdeadat (age) 80 afterthree sets of tennis, having the sexualprowessofa 16-year-old,andthe success ofa50-year-old."

He alsotoldof a friendofhis, a man whoat age 35 had achieved world acclaim as ascholar, butafter sufferinga strokelost hiswill to live. He made an attempt at suicidewhichfailed, leadinghis wife toobtaincon-

stant supervision for her debilitated hus-band.

Theman, without hispreviousintellectualand communicative abilities, simply couldnotbear continuedexistence and succeededonhis secondsuicideattempt whenhe threwhimselfinfrontofa train.

Gaylin reserved any judgment about thecase,but saidsuicide isno longeracriminaloffenseinany statein theunion.

Metrocenter YMCAkicks off teen vote campaignbyJerryDenier

The Seattle Metrocenter YMCA kickedoff its project, to encourage more youngpeople to register— and vote, with the pro-gram's directoranda WashingtonState Su-preme Court judge visiting several highschoolsonMonday.

k Robin Anderson, director of "ExerciseourConstitution"programat the YMCA,

and Supreme Court Justice Utter held anassemblyat EverettHighSchool urging18--year-olds tovote.Utter flewhisprivateplaneto Yakima for another assembly and hadplanned to make another appearance in aSpokaneschool,but weatherpostponed theflight.

According to Andersonthe project is thefirstofitskindbothinWashingtonstateandnationally. Oregon and Idaho might startsimilarprogramsintheir state if this one issuccessful,she added.

The project willuse more than 500 localvolunteersthroughout the state to train 18--year-olds to workas deputyregistrars toreg-ister other eligible 18-year-olds to vote,

tidersonsaid."The students seem to enjoy it. Two of;mItalked to made a contest out of it,

seeing whocanregisterthemost voters,"saidAnderson.

She added,"We wantyoungpeopletoseeit (voting)asnotsomethingtheyought todo,butasaright totakeit— goforit."

Assemblies and other activities such aspress conferencesand luncheons willoccurat about 75 high schools in 20 countiesthroughout the state, including Garfieldr 'HolyNames Academy,Auburn, Cleveland,andShorelineinKingCounty.

Anderson said rural counties with fewerfacilities forregistrationgenerally hadmuchhighervoter participationthan urbancoun-ties.

Theproject ispartofa largerprogramalsosponsoredby theYMCA"Today's Constitu-tion and You"emphasizing other involve-ment in the politicalprocess inaddition tovoting. ItincludeshighschoolcurriculumontheU.S.Constitution.

"It willtry toget at issueslike warpower,guncontrol,andabortion,"andwillnot takesides," said Anderson, "but illustrate theConstitutional themes involved as far asrights."

She added the class wouldshowstudentsthe Constitutionstill affects them after al-

most200years.State Senator Phil Talmadge (D-34th Dis-

trict)saidyoungpeopledo not vote because"theyfeelpoliticshasnothingtoofferthem."Anderson agreed with Talmadge that highschool students have a feeling, unlike the1960s and the VietnamWar, that issuesarenotdirectedto them.

Anderson said the main reason youngpeoplearen't voting is "because other kidsaren'tvoting,"according toYMCA surveys.She hopesthe project willputpeer pressureon young people to exercise theirright, sheadded.

"Ifwecan'tgetkids to voteina presiden-tialelectionyear wewon'tget themtovote,"saidAnderson.

The YMCA project is supported by pro-

clamations from the governor, the stateHouse of Representatives and the statesenate. Also endorsing the program is theSecretaryof State, the WashingtonBar As-sociation, the state Supreme Court, andKing TV, which has produced the severaltelevisionadspromotingtheprogram.

"Our UnitedStates Constitution will be200yearsoldin1987 and votingis oneofthemost important rights it guarantees," saidTalmadge.

SpectrumFine for early move better on quarter basis

Dorm students next year will be fined $250 for moving out of the dormsearly without a legitimate reason, according to Bryan Brunette, dormcouncilpresident.

On its face, this seems to be a reasonable policy, saving the universitysome lost revenue and allowing the housing office to exact apenalty fromstudents who are, inessence, breaking a contract. The argument is madequite frequently that universities have a duty to educate students in a waythat will prepare them for the "outside world," and this policy certainlyreflects real-world thinking regarding tenants' and landlords' rights andresponsibilities.

However, we wholeheartedlysupport a proposalbeing prepared by theASSU senate that would allow students to sign contracts committing themto only a singlequarter in the dorms. Theadoptionof this proposalby thehousing office would offer studentsa fair alternative to spending an entireyearinthe dorms orpayinga penalty.

It would also keep university housing policies competitive with theneighboring rental market, perhaps even encouraging more students to try

the dorms for at least a quarter while they look elsewhere. Most rentalhousing leases vary in their requirements from a simple 30-days noticebefore moving to a promise by the rentee that he or she will stay in theapartment or house a minimum of oneyear.But on theaverage, renters asktenants to commit to three to six months occupancy — well in line with thesenate's proposal.

Much has been made lately of the need to attract more students to thedorms, and this concern has resultedinanumber of positive changes (suchas installing kitchens on some floors of Campion) and the generation ofsome creative ideas for alternatives to the standard single and double dormrooms, like making some floors into suites and,providing married studenthousing.

Yet, if students lose Xavier (currently the only non-high-rise dorm oncampus) in the near future to makeroom for a facultyoffice building, evenmore will have tobedone tomake theother twodormsappealing.

All things considered, then, the new housing policy is a reasonable one,butonly ifadoptedhand-in-hand with the senate'sproposal.

Lucey'sbig -speakeraimendsinanother without fame

Greg Lucey, S.J., vice president for university relations,announced lastFriday that someone named John D.Phillips will be this year's commence-ment speaker. With all due respect and nothing personal intended, we askwho isJohn D.Phillips?

We're afraid it has happenedagain. Year after year, the administrationsomewhat secretly hunts for acommencementspeaker, then withmuch fan-fare andposturing announces it will be someone whomost ofus have neverheard of. And, as had been the case the past two years, commencementspeakers have had what we consider to be a rather unsavory WASPisharoma to them.

Puhlease,how about alittle variety? Why, for instance,didn't LuceyaskSeattle ArchbishopRaymond Hunthausen,an obvious choice if there everwas one? Or,as wehave mentioned before,Emile Wilson, anS.U. graduatewho went on to become a Rhodes scholar and the first black to ever receiveadoctorate fromOxford? Or former S.U. student Quincy Jones?

We're afraid those behind selecting commencement speakers might beafraid of choosing someone who might say something a little controversial.Public image, you understand: we must maintain the right profile. Whatcould be a meaningful, memorable and inspiring event has become apassive,boring,andcastratedsleepwalk.

On Sunday, April 29, at approximately11:15p.m. Icalledcampussecurity for anes-cort to walk me from the Student Unionbuilding to BellarmineHall. The escort ar-rivedabout 11:25p.m.and askedmy desti-nation.

LearningIonly wantedto be escortedtoBellarminethegentlemantoldme the escortservicewas forpeoplethatlive withinfour tofive blocks off-campus that want to bewalkedhome.Hesaid thatoncampusit wasconsidered"safe" to walk fromone placetoanother.

He then radioed to the securitybooth infrontofBellarmineto watch forme, toldmetocallifIwantedtogooffcampus,andthenproceededto turnandwalk towardsPigottauditoriumleavingmeto walkhomealone.Ido not mind walkingalone, but being

constantly toldby others to call security orfindafriend to walkwith,and readingin thepaperabout thenumberofassaultsthathavehappenedin thepast month,Idecidedtocallforanescort.

The mall between the Student UnionbuildingandBellarmineHallis fairlywelllitbut it is also very accessible from 12thAvenue. The intersectionof the lowermallandMarionStreet is concealedfromviewofthe Security Booth by the bookstore andmuchshrubbery.

When security personnel are not patrol-ling thatparticular part of thecampus any-one could walk on campus without beingseen.

In the April 18, 1984 issue of The Spec-tator, a front pagearticleheadlined"Secur-ityUrgesCautionAfterRecent Off-campusAssaults"warnedstudents nottowalkalone.

Thoughtheassaultsmentionedin thearti-cle occurred off campus, they did bothhappen within three blocks of the placewherethelowermallintersects withMarion.Whereis the"safe"linedrawn?

BirthcontrolTotheEditor:Ifound the recent (April 25) Spectator

articleon "Birth control" very disturbing,just as any conscientious Roman Catholicwould,both in its accuracy and in the waythesubject matterwaspresented.

Firstofallthe methodofeffectiveness ofthe sympto-thermal method of NaturalFamilyPlanningis ratedas .07 to .2 surprisepregnanciesper1OX)per year.

This translatesintoover99percenteffec-tiveness, much higher than the 85 percentstated in thearticle.Thismethodismoreef-fective than any other "birth control"method(naturalorartificial)shortofperma-nent sterilizationor totalabstinence.

SecondlyIthink it shouldbe pointedoutthatit isnotknownexactlyhow theprogeste-roneminipillobtains its effectiveness. It ishighlyprobable that it worksbymaking itimpossibleforthe fertilizedeggto implantintheuterinewall.

In other wordsit probably works as anabortifacient, that is by destroying humanlifeafterithasbeenconceived.

Lastly and most importantly, NaturalFamilyPlanningistheonlymethodof"birth

control" which is approvedby the RomanCatholic Church. The articlepreviously re-ferred to begins by listing some forms of"... birth control approved by PlannedParenthood,"but never evenmentions thepositionofthechurch.

IfS.U.reallyisa "Christian,Catholicuni-versity inanurban setting"weneedto show

itby promotingChristianvaluesrather thanvaluesheldbyorganizationssuch asPlannedParenthood which openlyattack Christianmorality.

cation wereat onceinterestingandastonish-ing. Interesting because Mo was onlyregurgitating the same old anti-Americanpap we'veheardsomanytimesbefore,andastonishingbecause of therelativetimidity,indeedacquiescence,oftheotherstudents tohisdiatribe. My question is, why aren't wemore critical of these sorts of Guiltspeakpronouncements?

Other questionscame to mind: are weasAmericansso uncertain of our ownsense ofcompassionand generosity that we becomepetrified to face up to the kinds of chargespeoplelikeMomake? More to thepoint,istherenot justalittledisingenuousness aboutthesesortsofcomplaints?

Leavingaside theissuesofAmerica'scom-passionandgenerosity,which is demonstra-ted every day especially from the middleclass,then whatwouldpromptsuchheapsofscorntobeplacedon thebacksofthe Ameri-

canmiddleclass?Iwouldremindmyreadersthat this lineof thinking isa not uncommonthreat that has been seen in many of thespeakersinvitedto lectureatS.U.

Thereisa certainbittersweetirony in this:here wehaveMo,a foreignstudent receivingthebesteducation themiddleclasscanoffer,criticizing the middle class for those valuesthaterectedtheclassroomhe was sitting in.But let's take a look at theotherside of thecoin.

Many studentslikeMocome fromSecondor Third World countries, countries whichhave lower standards of living per capitathantheUnitedStates.Many of thesecoun-tries, for examplePakistan or the UnitedArabEmerites, haveliteracy ratesof 16 and20percent,respectively.Mostof thesecoun-tries includingPakistanand theU.A.E.havecentralizedeconomiesandsharp disparitiesbetweenthe'haves'andthe'havenots.'

First, take a look atS.U.s tuition rates.Now, fromwhatsegmentof thepopulationwouldyou suppose that many, if not moststudentslikeMocome?

Thepointis thatthe'haves'inany countryhold positions of privilege and authority.Pakistan,againas anexample,hasproblemsinno small waybecausemuchof itsecono-mic wealthis tiedup in a few familycartelsand landlords, while the wealthof the oil-producing countries like theU.A.E. comesnot fromaproductiveeconomybut fromun-earned (oil) income, which in turn iscornered by the government and militaryleaders.Littleornomiddleclass.

Ofcourse,intheabsenceofamiddleclass,powerand wealthisnotdiffusedas amiddleclass is wont to do. And withoutamiddleclass,politicalaccountability isunnecessary.

The prioritiesof the Iranian governmentamplyprovethispoint.Rather thannurtureanddevelopamiddle class, Iran is develop-ingan atomicbombwhichwillbe on lineinabout twoyears,accordingtoJane'sDefenseWeekly, an authorityon the world'sarmedforces.Justaspowerhatesavacuum, so toodoesit loathechange.

Now, ifMo comes fromaprivilegedclass,andhe istoreturnto that privilegedclass toacertainpositionand status inhissociety, isthereany incentivetodesire amiddleclass,aclass whichmaychallengeMo's futureholdoneconomicwealthandpower?

Thismay verywell beanindiscretion,butit is the truth.Themiddleclass tends topro-mote stability, diffuses wealth and power,and frustratesthe designsofbuddingpower-seeking intellectuals. And it is for thesereasonsthatthemiddleclassisdisparaged.

Don't get me wrong-Second and ThirdWorld countries need an educatedclass ofleaders.But in all examples of history themiddleclassariseonlywhenmenareallowedto take risksand experiment,knowing thatthey stand to benefit from the rewards oftheirlabors.

It is this writer'shope that the many Mo'satS.U. and other universitieswill takeano-ther look at their class-consciousnessattitudestowardthemiddleclass andchuckthemout thewindow.

U.S. spurs social disorder in Iran,MideastIln the timeIlived in Iran,Ilearned to

lue the warmth and friendship of manyIranians, people thatIhad been told wereslow to accept strangers and distrustful offoreigners. As a single woman living in aMiddleEastern country, Ifaced difficulties

rita foreignfamilyneverencountered.After several years, Ilearned to speak

Farsi well enough to make quite a few' Iranian friends, just normal Iranians who

wouldnot normallyhavemuch contact withforeignersbecauseof the language problem.Ican nevertellhow valuable their friendshipwas to me in my time there, and how theyhelpedmein innumerable ways.

They were very supportive and warm,even though Iwas a representative of acountry they felt was exploitingthem.Theytended to accept me asIwas, and to makeallowances for the differences between usthatcultureandreligioncaused.IhopeIwasable todo thesame.Iwillneverbe able to repay these people

for theirkindness to me, butIhave tried todo my part since my return to the U.S. byassisting Iranian students, doing volunteerwork through theLanguage Bank, and main-tainingfriendships with Iranian studentsandfamilieshere. This was especially importantduring thehostage crisis, when these peoplefaced such intense hostility and were manytimesinrealphysicaldanger.Ifeel that people from different cultures

arebasically thesame,having the samebasicneeds. Weallloveand laugh and hurt;morethan that,we allneedtheopportunity to liveina democraticand freeenvironment.Thereis no such thing as a people who are notsuitedtodemocracy.

The effects of intervention in a ThirdWorldcountry wereclearly demonstrated inthe events leadingup to and followingthe1979 Iranianrevolution.

Support oftherulersof a foreignpeopleisjust as much an intervention as direct mili-tary action. The central intention of U.S.policy towards Iran, to maintain a brutalright-wing dictatorship in power, was theunderlying logic of U.S. policy from 1946onwards.Itentailed the 1953 coup,thecrea-tion of and support for the Iranian secretpolice(SAVAK), thecoverupsof repressionand torture, andbelated attempts to derailtherevolution.

In theprocessofaccomplishingitsgoalsinIran, theU.S. became deeplyentrenchedinIranian social, economic, and militaryaf-fairs. The Americanpresence alone in Iranwas formidable. Americans, 40,000 plus,were seen everywhere, bringing with them

. theirownstandardsandconduct.

"MadeinU.S.A." modernizationprojectswereveryvisible as theShah embarked onarapid growth program that brought greatchangestohisbackwardcountry.

And the United States was not the onlyforeignpresencein thecountry.Japan,Ger-many,Belgium,Britain,and othercountrieswere cashing in on the Shah's oil riches,bringingabout accelerating inflationandanincreasingIraniandependenceonimports.

HowevermarredtheShah'spolicieswere,they broughabout fundamentalchanges ineconomic,social, religious,and scientific re-lations. The country moved from semi-feudaltocapitalisticeconomicrelations.

It is evident that U.S. involvementheldback the productive forces of Iran, but wealso have toconsider theeffectsof a decadeof intensedevelopmentwhichprovoked therevolutionaryupsurgeof1978.

Repressionis oneof themostcommonre-sponses toapeople'srisinganxiety.Andsup-port ofrepressive regimes isunquestionablythe worst policy for dealing with a revolu-tion,whetherinIranoranywhereelse.

The Washington Post of December 10,1978gives us foodfor thoughtwhenit states,"Perhaps there is something fundamentallywrongwithacivilization thathasbecomesodeeplydependent on a fossil fuel that it iswillingtosell billionsof dollarsofarms toarepressiveregimerather thanrisk its standardofliving.

"Perhaps thosemullahs, withtheirbeardsand turbans and qaint ideas, have an ac-curate instinct intheir rebellionagainst thewholesale importationof the valuesofacul-ture that has made a god out of oil, andoffers ithumansacrifice."

Iranians participating in the revolutionwantedanindependentcountry, withnode-pendenceon the UnitedStates;asocietyoffreedom anddemocracy; a leading role forthe workingclass and realization of its de-mands;nationalrights fornationalities suchas theKurds,Turks, and others;andend toeconomic exploitationby the foreignpowers

Theirrevolutionboastedmany impressiveaccomplishments—

a mass popularmovement had overthrown a firmly en-trenched repressive regime, involving thelargestprotestdemonstrationsinhistory andthe most prolongedandsuccessful politicalgeneralstrikeeverknown.

Over2,000yearsofmonarchy werefinallybrought toanend.Enormousopportunitiesfor politicalimprovement opened up,bothinthe workplaceandthegovernment.

Worker's councils wereestablished inthefactories, where trade unions had beenbanned under the Shah. Politicalorganiza-tions were free to work openly,maintaintheirownofficesandpublishnewspapers.

People read avidly,and everyone fromhousewives in chadors to the man on thestreet wasopenly discussingpolitics.Bookspreviouslybanned were availablein book-stores.

These two factions, however, had manyinterests in common and cooperated onmanythings,suchas censorshipofradioandtelevision.In thespringof 1980, thegovern-ment closedall Iranian universities, on thepretextofdevelopinganIslamic curriculum.

The universities had become centers ofpoliticaldissent and represented a growingthreat to the regime.Iran'sformerPresidentBani-Sadr, once called radical by theWestern mediaandnow dubbedmoderate,completelysupportedthe closureof theuni-versities.

The third year of the Iranianrevolutionsaw the breakup of the coalition thatbrought Khomeini to power. The religiousfactionwasable,throughmassiverepressiongreater than that oftheShah, tocontainop-positionforces.

Thousands were executed, many thou-sands were imprisoned, and torture onceagainbecamearegular partofpoliceinterro-gation.

The regime had gainedground on bothpoliticalandeconomic fronts,andgraduallyinstitutionalized the instrumentsof thepost-revolutionaryregime, such as the Revolu-tionaryGuards(now numberically strongerthan the army) and the Islamic Courts.Workers' councils, which had been estab-lished inIranian factories soonafter the re-volution, wereconverted to "Islamiccoun-cils."

Themassmovement lackedorganization.Noorganizationalstructuresofthe workingclass were established, and the workers'councilshad nolinks with workers'councilsinotherfactories.

The regime in Iran has weathered thestorm and become fairly stable. Official re-serves at the beginning of 1983 stood at

around$5billion.Oiloutputis at morethan3 millionbarrelsaday.

Iran's religious leaders have not alwaysbeen held in high esteem. Cynicism andhumor havemade mullahsfiguresof fun tomanyIranians,andthis continuestoday.

The role of Islam in the revolutionarymovement hashad a negativeimpact, pro-viding thebasis for supression ofalldissentanda repressivepositiononissues ofwomenandpersonalmorality.

The figure of AyatollahKhomeini stillholds thesupport ofmany whowouldhaveabandonedthe regime,but thespectorofhisdeathisnolongerthatmuchofathreatto theexistenceofthegovernment.

THebiggestcrisis intheregionat themo-ment is the warbetweenIranandIraq. Itbe-gan withIraq's rejectionof the 1975 borderagreement, which was reasonable and theonly basis for peace between these twocountries.

The realbasis for the war, however, wasnot boundaries, but interference in eachother'saffairs. AlthoughIraqwas theagres-sor,Khomeinicarriedhis shareof theblamebyprovokingIraq whenIran couldnot de-fenditself againstattack.

The tide of battle has turned, however,and Iranhas nowcarried the warinto Iraqiterritory.

At present,theUnitedStateshasnomajorinfluenceinIranianpoliciesanddoesn't havethe abilityto carryout a coup d'etat. Theyare mainly workingthrough the CIA in thesouth of Iran, aggravating and disrupting.For the timebeing,U.S. policyis to letIranbe.

New rapid deployment force bases inEasternTurkey are clearlydesigned forpos-sible intervention or covert activity in theeventofa civilwarinIran.And thethreat totheoilsupplycontained intheIran-Iraqwarcouldbring about direct military interven-tionifacrisisshouldoccur.

One canonlyassume that ifanappropri-atemoment arises, theconservative forcesofthe Middle East, supported by the UnitedStates, willattempt to reverse the verdictofthe Iranianrevolutionand re-establish a re-pressiveregimethere.

CollageLKJ's history class: learnin' in arub adub style

byMichaelGilbertPoetLintonKwesiJohnson'sshowFriday

LKJ, backed by the impressive DennisBovell DubBand, performeda longset andtwo encores toapackedhousethat obviouslyenjoyed the jazzy, virtuoso sound of theband as wellas the poet'shard-edged verseand informative backgrounding sessionbetweeneachsong/ poem.

LKJ performedseveralpoems from eachofhisalbums,including the latest, "MakingHistory." Before each poem, he explainedthe inspiration and circumstancesthat wentinto writing it. Looking very much thecol-lege professorin sweater, jacket and tieandsmart lookingpork piehat,LKJbrought theclassroomtothenightclub.

But that is certainly not to say his per-formancewasasboringas mostof thoselec-tures weallhavetosit through.Bovell'sDubBand's tight, precision playing and theheavy,uncomfortable but unignorableLKJpoetry made Friday night's show anemotional, conscience exploring affair. Itwas hardcoreheadmusic withariddim youcouldn'thelpbutrockanddipto.

"Sonny'sLettah" was the toughestsong/poemoftheshow.FromLKJ's 1979"ForcesofVictory"album, thepoem takesthe formofalettersentby ayoungmaninLondontohismotherbackhomeinJamaica.Theyouth

In the poem, Sonny and his youngerbrotherare waitingat abusstop, innocentofanythingthe cops try to charge them with.Young blacks, in particular,LKJ said,arevictimsofthe injusticeofthe"Sus"law.

Backed by a moving, haunting riddimfrom theDub Band,and someimpassioned,bluesy guitar work by lead guitarist JohnKpaiye, the full impact of the poem reallystruck home. It was kind of tough to clapwhenit wasover.

Kpaiye'splaying was the icing on a verytasty cake.The nine-pieceBovell band, ledby Bovell himself on bass, played a cool,precision-style that was step for step withLKJ's verse.When thepoet pausedbetweenstanzas, the fullpowerof thebandseemedtoleapout likeasudden jolt of energyandhityoueverywhereallatonce.

Risque Roth tauntsand teasesEnthusiastic fansgreet jumpin'VanHalen

by CrystalKuaThe jammed,packedSeattle CenterColi-

seum lookedtike it washaving aFourthofJuly bashlast Mondaynight, with fireworksexplodingand music blaring,but the partymoodwasn'tpatrioticasmuchas it wasgoodolerock-n-roll,VanHalenstyle.

From the time Van Halen took the stage,the four-man band had complete controlover the long-haired,wild, unruly Coliseumcrowd for theentire90-minute show. DavidLeeRoth, theband'sleadsinger, hadabitofLas Vegas showmanship, and he gets thecredit for keeping the fans'energy flowing.

Roth, a very likeablecharacter withlong,untamed golden locks and a never-endingeuphoric smile, taunted and teased thecrowd (especially the females) with hisslithering hips and risque humor. At onepoint,he leapedonto thehighest part of thestage, leanedagainst a beam and seductive-lyasked, "Who wants to comeup here andtie me up?" If the guards weren't near thestage, herdsof womenwould havechargedand takenhimuponhisoffer.

Beingaquick-changeartist, Rothchangedhis garb three times during the show, andonce he wore a silver sequined jacketthat matched Alex Van Halen's drum set,whichisdecoratedwithbiggersilverglitters.

The band seemed thoroughly delightedwith theoverlyenthusiastic responsethe fansgave. Roth said that on Van Halen's nexttour, the band should stay in Seattle andhave the rest of the worldcome here to seethe band. "Seattle, you make Detroit looklikePakistan,"holleredRoth.

Van Halenperformeda balancedmixtureofnew tuneslike"Panama,""I'llWait"andits only numberonesingle,"Jump" (all fromits sixth and current album "1984"), alongwith earlier favorites like "Runnin" with theDevil," "Jaime's Cryin'," "You Really GotMe,"and "(oh)Pretty Woman."

As expected, the tunes wereamped-out tothe fansinmegadecibels.

But, the leather-clad, teenaged-to-early-20s audience seemed to enjoy the older,guitardominated songsa littlemorethan theup-datedsynthesizertunes.

Both tastes weretreated to the wizardryofEddie Van Halen, who playedboth stringsand keyboards masterfully. Eddie canprobably write a book on "101 Sounds ToGet Out of the Guitar" because he is themaster of making the guitar sound likeanything other than a clanging guitar.Duringalongsolo,Eddieneverceasedtogetthe crowd ophing,and aahing ati all the

magicalsonanceshisguitarproduced.The multi-levelstage was acolossal sight,

looking likeabuildingunder constructionassteel beamsprotruded from one levelof thestage.

Its roominess allowed the members toperform acrobatic jumps and kicks (Roth'sspecialty) fromlevel to level,and alsohavethem prance on and off gigantic speakerswhile playingand singing. Eddie got in theathleticact,doingoccasional splits in theair.

BassistMichael Anthonywent so far as tothrow his bass from the highest level to thebottomof the stage, then continued tobeatthepulpoutof theinstrument.Whathams!

The light show was another concertspectacle. It looked like there were as manymulti-colored spotlights dangling above as

there werepeopleattending the show.Eightroadies alsohoveredabove maneuveringthebigger spots. Some of the lights descendedand rotated to the stage floorduring certainnumbersandsolos.

The finale saw four huge sets of bright,white lights flip over and display to theaudience "1984."

Van Halen has been around for close toseven years, but their usual heavy metaltwangs have beenalteredand mixedin withkeyboard rhythms in its current album.Critics disagree as to whether the band'smusical transition is goodorbad.

But the fans stillcome out tohear and seethe showmen of heavy metal. In fact, inSeattle, tickets for Monday's show sold-outfivehoursaftergoingonsale.

Luau willhonorHawaii's25thyearas a state

Aug. 21, 1984 marks thesilveranniversaryof Hawaii's statehood, and S.U.s Hui ONani Hawaii is planning to commemoratethatevent at this year's luau, slated forMay5 inCampionballroom.

"Hawaii 25" is the theme chosen for the23rd annual luau (which is sold out), andStacey Pullen, club vice president and luauco-chairperson, explained,"Since many ofus areaway fromhome, we'reunableto takepart in this year's celebration in Hawaii,sowe(theHawaiianClub) wanted tocreateourowncelebrationand shareit witheveryoneinSeattle."

According to Pullen, planning andpreparationfor the luau beganeight monthsago, demanding a lot of hustling, bustlingand cooperation on the part of clubmembers.

Themembersdo allthe decorating,cook-ing, serving, entertaining,and cleaning-up,butit's theirparents whodonateallthe food,flowers andother Fixings necessary toput onaluau for 500 people.

So the luau encompasses more than justeating andpartying(well,that'sa bigchunk,butnot allof it).

While the guests are waitingin line to getinto the ballroom, they can browse and/orbuy merchandise at the Hawaiian generalstore. Allof thegoodssold at thestore havebeen donated by businesses and members'parents. Items for sale will include pine-apples, macadamianuts, candy,possibly leisand any other donationsthat come through.

The club plans to raffle-offa trip for twoto Hawaii, which includes airfare and hotelaccommodations for four days and threenights. Club members have been sellingraffle tickets for a couple of weeks, and thetickets, selling for $1 apiece, willremain onsale until the afternoon of May 5. Thewinners of the raffle will be announcedduring theintermissionoftheluaushow.

This week has beenproclaimed as AlohaWeek, to betterpromote the "true Hawaiianspirit." Monday started the festivities withtheplacingofsigns andbannersannouncingthe forthcomingluau.

It'snot justajob: S.U.'s ROTC cadets practicein the field during spring FTX

story byMark BenvegnuphotosbyRichFassio

Editor'sNote: Thefollowing isanaccountof the experi-ences of two civilians, photographerRich Fassio andre-porterMark Benvegnu, on ablindleap intomilitaryexist-ence: thespringFTX.

It lookedvery much likea bus withrotars,Ithought as 1followedagroupofcadetsupthe rampoftheCh-47.

The Chinook, as this type of helicopter is affectionatelyknown, wouldtakeus fromBoeingFieldtoFort Lewistoob-serve the S.U. ROTC's springField Training Exercise. Wewere toldthat thecraft had thecapability to carry 30 fullyequippedsoldiers. Rich listenedquietly as we weretold thisandthenaskedifthis flightwouldhaveamovie.

Itdidn't,so welookedout theportholesandhatchesat theSeattle skyline, Mt. Rainier, and the Puget Sound. Thecadetslookedat Rich andme withcuriousity. It'snot oftenthata reporter and photographertag along onone ofthesegatherings.Inoticedrather quickly that most everything in the heli-

copterwasgreen.Thecadets' fatigues weregreen,their faceswere green, their packs, sleeping bags and ponchos weregreen, the wallsweregreen.Iconcluded thatgreen was"in"in the Army.Ifurther concludedthat,being dressedin jeansandT-shirts,RichandIwerenot"in."

TheChinooklandedat NorthFort Lewisto take onsomeothercadetsand asupply ofweapons. Most ofthecadets re-ceivedM-16s and a few got M-60s, largemachine guns withbipods on front and a belt of ammunition feeding into oneside.

We had to wait whileone of the Chinooks was repaired.During this wait the pilot expressedsomeconcern over thepresence of civilians onboard,something about liability,Ithink.He wasassuredbyanofficerthateverything was takencareof.Heseemedreassured,butjokedthatin theevent ofacrash our bones would be scatteredand buried.Oh well,Ithought, weprobably won'tcrashanyway.

The choppers liftedoff again and took us toFort Lewis.We landed in an open field and the camouflaged cadetsstreamed out, weapons raised, to secure the LZ (that's alandingzone).Rich tookphotos.Itookaseat.

Theexercise followeda pattern that wasused formost oftheFTX.The soldiers wouldsimulatea maneuveror tacticand wouldthenbeevaluatedby anMS-4 (asenior cadet)oranofficer.Theevaluationswereoftenverycriticalandsome-timesaccompaniedby compulsorypush-ups.

Thisparticular tacticappearedtohave beenflubbed,andpush-upswereorderedaccordingly.

Thismethodwasnecessary,Iwas told,becauseitpreparedthecadetsfor theoftenharsh treatment they wouldreceiveatadvancedcamp.Noonecomplainedabout this; itappearedtobeaknownandacceptedpartofROTC training.

Shortly thereafter,it was time fordinnerandRich openlyexpresseda bitofskepticism when we weretoldthat "Armychow is the best." While eating my spaghetti (known as"worms"to thecadets),Iconcluded thatArmy chowisnotthebest.

It's not the worsteither, but itdidremindmeofthe meals

at BellarmineHall cafeteriabefore it was changed to theMarketplace.

Oncenourished,weheaded tothe tree line toassemb^urtents.These werecalledhalf-shelters, and wereactuallyTwopiecesofcanvas(green,ofcourse) snappedtogether to formapup tent. Theyweresaid tobe waterproof,but fortunatelythisquality wasnot testedthatnight.

With this task finished,Iwalkedaroundand watched thecadets build defensive positions (digholes) near their tents.Thiskept themmoreor lessoccupieduntildark.

The cadets then piled onto a large gray school bus (itlooked roughly like a Chinook without rotors) to ride tonight-land navigation. This process is meant to teach thecadets how not toget lost at night. They arepairedup, onecadetgetsacompass, theothera flashlight.

Theprocessgoessomethinglike this: acompassreadingistaken and one of the cadets pacesoff a set distance in thedirectionindicatedby thereading.It wasvery darkand theman with the flashlighttended to fall into old foxholes,buteventuallywefoundour wayback tothestartingpoint.

Wegotback onthebus andRich fellasleepwhileItriedtowritenotes, quite adifficult task when the bus is bou^ngdown thedirtroad.Isucceededonly inmissing thenotepad,writing onmy leg, and occasionally sticking Rich withmypen. Itwasmidnightwhenwearrivedat camp,somost every-onefound their tentsand went tosleep.

Themorning dawnedcold and cloudy and far tooearly.The cadets weredoingcalestenics whenIrolledout of mysleepingbag(it,too,wasgreen).

"Hwone, Hoo, Hree, Four! Hwup...." yelled thesoldiers as they went through theirpaces. They werealsorequired topass occasionalmotivationchecks, a requirementthey satisfiedbymaking loudguturalnoises inunison.RichandIwereinvitedto joinin,but IexplainedthatIwould beforced to abstainso asnot to wakeup too early in the day(beforenoon).

Exercise was followed by chow, and Major GregoryRaisorassuredus that wewerein fora treat.Thebillof fareincluded SOS (otherwise known as chippedbeefon toast).Onceagain, thechowdidn'tliveup toitsbilling,but it wasn'tbad.Ifeltcompelled toavoid themilk, however,as thedateon thepackagewarnedthat itshouldhavebeenconsump^ inearlyFebruary. ♥

Itwasdecided that wewouldaccompanythe MS-3s on taxlanes. We got back on the bus. During the ride the cadetswerestrongly urged to sing.The songs were interesting,Ihaveto admit.Ithinkmy favoritewent "Misery, ohmisery,that's whattheArmy'sbeentome . . ."

"Tax lanes are designed to put the cadets in simulatedbattlesituations,"saidBruceBritton,S.U. studentand MS-4, who was assigned to explain things to us. It soundedinteresting,1 thought, and it was. The cadets were givenblanks, dividedup into two squads,and wereopposedby agroupofcasually dressedreservists.

We walkedinto the woodsandthe test began. Itoccurredtome that we werenot given gas masksas thecadets were.1expressedthis concern to Rich. "They won'tuserealgas,"

The exercise proceeded more smoothly after that. The "

Four candidates vie for three senate seatsSpring electionsfor the ASSU senate will

beheld onWednesday,May 9, from8 a.m.to 8 p.m.Students may vote at pollingsta-tions in the_ front of the Student Unionbuilding, in Bellarmine lobby, or in thebookstore, saidDean Cass, election boardcoordinator.

Four candidates willbe running for threesenatepositions and willbe actingthrough-out the1984-83 schoolyear.

Students who vote must present a vali-dated student I.D. for spring quarter, andmust eitherhaveregisteredatS.U.forspringquarteror be inthe Washington StateUni-versityHotel and Restaurant Managementprogram,accordingtoCass.

"I'm interested in the needs of diversegroups,especiallythoseofinternationalstu-dent and commuter students; Ibelong tobothgroups,so 1see thingsa littledifferentlythan some members of the senate," saidAndrew Ott, junior. Ott commutes fromBothell,andisanativeofCanada.

Ottbelievesthat heismoresensitive to theneedsofcommuterstudents, whohesaysaresometimesat adisadvantagebecauseoftheirmorelimitedaccess tocampusactivities andservices.

Ottalsofeels that this fact canhelphimbemore sensitive to the needs of otherdiversegroupsatS.U.Hesaidof theroleof thesen-ate:"Weneedto letgoofourownvaluesandreplace them with those beneficial to theschool."

Headded that there has been "bickeringgoingonin thesenate,"and that it is impor-

tant thatsenators try toconsider theneedsofall students rather than to work with theirownvalues."Ihaven't been involved (in the senate),"

saidOtt,"andIseethings a littledifferently;Ihave different values, and I'd like to seethingschange."

Ottranforpresident winterquarter.

Sophomore John Marchione feels thatpublicityfor senatebusinessand visibility ofsenatorsare thekeystoamorepowerfulandinvolved studentbody.

"Ienjoyschoolactivities such as dances,"said Marchione,andIthink senatorsshouldbe at activities, not just representing thesenate, but representing themselves." Mar-chions saidhe believesthat gettingto knowstudents personally and socially can helpsenators be more aware of their needs andbetterable toservethem.

Marchione alsosaid thatpublicityofsen-ate meetings and business should be in-creased,and thathe willwork on these as asenator.HesaidthatThe Spectatorcouldbea good vehicle forcommunication togroupswhich have less campus contact, such ascommuterstudents.

"Everyone readsTheSpectator,"hesaid,adding that the only rolethe ASSU shouldplayin termsofTheSpectatoris advertising;he wants"thepaper tobe separatefrom thegovernment."

A commuter student, Marchione wouldalsolike to seeactivities plannedwithmoreconsideration of theirneeds. Hesaidactivi-tiesareimportant forstudents.

Bryan Brunette,sophomore,said that hisjobas dormcouncilpresidentand hisrelatedworkwiththe ASSU andJudySharpe,direc-torof residentstudentservices,as wellashisinvolvement in the Xavier-Campion com-mittee will help him toward accomplish-ingsomeimportantgoalsifelectedsenator.

One of his goals is to try to change thecurrent registration system. Brunette saidthat registration could be improved by"addingmoreterminals, gettingbetter hoursfornon-traditionalstudents,andmaking theprocessgenerllymore efficient."He said hewouldworkon thisby"talking to the Regis-trar, addressing Father Sullivan,and goingthroughtheproperchannels."

Brunettesaidheis "enthusiasticabout theASSU, andIconsider the decision-makingprocess exciting."He added that the "atti-tudeabouttheASSUhasgot tochange,"andthat the ASSU "needs to do more things in-steadofjust talkingaboutthem."

Brunettesaidhe willwork towardrenova-tions in thedorms for a "betterlivingenvi-ronment."Healso wants to promote morestudent activitiesthrough thesenate and getmoreclubstobecomeactive.

Brunette also feels it is important for thesenate to help students whomay not knowhow to voice theirconcerns; hesaid he will"work towardpublicizing the senate, start-ingsenate forums, and makingmore peopleknow ASSU office hours." Brunette wouldlike to make senate communication withsenators more convenient through theuse of

things like "gripe boards,suggestion boards,orasenate mailbox."

Brunette has made two attempts at asenateseat.

"This isa university,"saidDonnelly,"anduniversity students are strongly affected bywhatgoeson inpolitics."Donnellybelievesthat an important service of the ASSUshould be to help students become moreaware of political work toward studentforumsor other means to keep studentsin-formedofandactive intheseissues.

WhileDonnelly recognizesthatstudentin-put is important,heconsiders it theduty ofthe senators to make themselves aware ofstudents' needs. "The needs of all the stu-dentshavetobeaddressed,"hesaid."Evenifthey're not interestedinASSU, ASSU's jobistobeinterestedinthem."

"I'vebeenbothacommuterstudent andadormstudent,"saidDonnelly,"soIsee theneeds ofboth,"and stressedthe importanceof scheduling andpublicizingactivitiesandservices withbothgroupsinmind."I knowhow it feels to drivehalf an hour home inrush hour anddrivehalf anhour back for anactivity," and then have to find a parkingplace, hesaid.

Professors debate nativity scene constitutionalitybyRonaldMarKay Jr.

Christmasinthespring?Well,not exactly,but twoprofessors ofConstitutionallawde-batedlast week on the recent U.S.SupremeCourtrulingwhich decided thatmunicipali-tiesmay sponsoracreche, ornativity scene,aspartofanannual Christmasdisplay.

Administeredby theMetrocenterYMCAinSeattle,this debatewas the last ofthreede-bates whichconfronted current issues con-cerning the U.S.Constitution. The debatesaresponsoredby "Today'sConstitutionandYou,"aneducational programcommemmo-ratingtheupcomingbicentennial oftheU.S.Constitution.

Twopreviousdebatesconsidered the con-stitutionality of roadblocks to check fordrunk driversand whetherWashington statecanban furthernuclear powerplants in thefuture.

Arguingagainst theSupremeCourt rulingwasJohn Strait,associateprofessoroflawatthe University of Puget Sound, and de-fendingtherulingwasJ.M.B.Crawford,ad-junct professor at Seattle University. Themoderator for the debate was WashingtonStateSupremeCourtJusticeRobertUtter.

TheSupremecourtruling lastMarchcameafter a suit filed several years ago by theAmericanCivil Liberties Union against themunicipalityof Pawtucket,R.I.For almostfortyyearsPawtuckethadannuallyerectedacreche, or Nativity scene, onpublicgroundsaspart ofaChristmasdisplay.In thesuit theACLU objected to the creche, claiming the

municipality was spendingpublic funds tosupportasymbolofonereligion.

Centralto thedebateis what is calledthe"Establishment Clause"of theFirstAmend-ment of the Constitution whichprimarilyservedto prohibit the government from es-tablishinganofficialstatereligion.

The Supreme Court rejected the ACLUsuit ina 5 to4decision stating that the Paw-tucketcreche wasallowable sincetheConsti-tution"affirmativelymandatesaccommoda-tion, not merely tolerance, of all religionsand forbids hostility toward any," wroteChiefJusticeWarrenE.Burger.

AccordingtomoderatorUtter, this rulingwillhaveverylittleeffectupon Washingtonstate because current state law strictly for-bids the expenditureof tax monies for re-ligiousdisplays.

The SupremeCourt'sdecision was wrong,arguedStrait, because it degraded the truesignificanceofreligionand alsousurped re-ligious symbolsfor thepurposeorbenefitofthestate.

The endresult is "ceremonialdeism,"saidStrait, citing the prayer invocations at thestartofcongressionalsessions and the secu-larizationsofholidayssuchasChristmasasexamples.

Historically, continued Strait, threeschools of thought are contendingwith theproblemofchurch-state relations.Oneposi-tion insists that religious values are cor-rupted by governmental interference,another believes that religion disruptsgood

government,anda third emphasizesan ac-commodation betweenchurchandstate.

The Supreme Court waswrong, insistedStrait.Not onlybecause it ignored the his-tory of these three schools of thought butalso becausetheroleof religion is dilutedbysecularization,and therulingmadebad lawbecause it was "too fuzzy" in light of the"EstablishmentClause."

All told, he concluded, this ruling willserveonly to encouragefuture legalcompli-cations whichinturncan only beresolvedattheSupremeCourtlevel.

Defending the ruling, Crawford recalledthat theUnitedStateshasbecome a secular-civilsocietywhichironically was foundedbypeople trying to escape the secular-civilgovernmentofEngland.

The founding fathers, continued Craw-ford, saw that the establishment of religionwas a voluntary commitment of the mindand willand government,becauseoftheelu-sive qualitiesof a religion,should notestab-lishonereligionover theothers.

U.S. Society, suggested Crawford, wasfounded not only on logical rootsbut alsohumannatures.So longas lawsdonot causeviolationsofmoralityor property, then thelaw should know no heresy, dogmaor sect,hesaid.

Intention was a considerationin JusticeO'Connor'sbrief, said Crawford. The con-siderationof intentionentailsbotha practi-calanda formal aspect,heexplained.

The practical aspect is whether the pri-mary purpose in a case is to establisha re-ligionoriftheintentionistouseone symbolamong other mercantile symbols, as Paw-tucket had formany years. If the intentionwas not to establish one religion over ano-ther, said Crawford, then it should be al-lowed tocontinue.

The formalaspect of judging intent waswhether anattempt toestablishone religionoverother wasintendedor inferred, hecon-tinued, andclearlynointentionor inferencewasmeant.

Crawford explainedthat what concernedhim most about the recent Supreme Courtdecisionwas the uncoveringof yet anothernewcategoryof lawthatnoonereallyknowshow to dealwith.Crawford contended thatthe Supreme Court will become a future"nursery-maid" to any and allquestionsofchurch-staterelations.

Inconcludingrebuttals,Straitmaintainedthat the finalquestionis themanipulationofreligioussymbols for the benefitof thegov-ernment,andpostualtedthat theresultcouldbea Santa Clausdressedup likeUncleSamsaying"Wewantyou."

Crawfordcounteredsayingthat thelaw"isnot an aesthetic but rather a blunt instru-ment," and that so long as the logic of theConstitutionmakesall citizensendureallitsacts, andas longasthereis anappeal to law,thenallcitizensmustbeeclectic.

Tour of state institution provides crash-courseBehavioral,activity treatmentsnow replaceuseof lobotomies,shock therapy,inhelpingpatients

by CatherineLewis

From afar it looks likea fortress. Withlayerafter layerofdirtybrownbricks,

Western State Hospitalstands staunch andforebodingjust asit hasfornearly100years.

A field trip to the hospital isn't exactlywhat most people wouldconsider to be anidyllic outing for a warm spring day, but 12membersofS.U.spsychologycluband onecurious Spectatorreporterdecided tosee forthemselves whatWestern Washington's onlystate-runmentalhospitalis like.

Located one mile east of Steilacoom,(about an hour and a half south on 1-5),Western has a bed capacity of 954. It cur-rentlyhas1,044patients.The facilityencom-passes approximately 250 acres has 28buildings and32 wards.

Upon arrival, the group was brusquelygreetedby Sidney Acuff, thehospital's chiefof activity therapy, who explained that hehad a fullagendaplanned for whathe con-sideredashortamountoftime."Youwillre-ceivesortofacrashcourse thisafternoononthehospital,"he laughed.

After being whisked through a dimly-lithallway and out into aback courtyard, thegrouppassedalonglineofmen walkingtwoby two. Acuff identified them as patientsfrom the sexual offenders ward. Thestudentswerecarefulnottogawk,buta faintmurmur was heard and a bit of uneasinesswasevident.

Acuff said thereason the reason the menwere walking togetherwas for security pur-poses. "They havea buddy system.We pairnewerpatientswithones thathavebeenherea whileand haveestablished reliability. Theideais if one makes a breakfor it the othercangrabhim."

He went on toexplainthat those who areadmitted into Western's sexual offenders

wardhavebeensent therebyastateSuperiorCourtorder.Hesaid it is thehospital'sjobtoobserve them and determine if they aresexual psychopaths, a process that takesaboutthreemonths."Wesortofseparatethegoodapplesfromthebad,"he joked.

Acuff next led the way into a smallmusty room which bore the words

"Western State HospitalMuseum" on its

door. "We're trying not to call this amuseum because wehave added some newdisplaysofcurrent techniques,''hesaid.

One side of the room had a half adozendisplay cases filled with dusty, old photo-graphsof smilingpatientsand theirequallycheery staff members. A wall was dedicatedto achronologicalchart whichoutlined thevarioustreatments thehospitalhadadminis-teredsinceitsbeginningin1871.

Up untilthe 1900s, moraltreatment wasused to care for the mentally ill, stressingstaff-patient relationships, patience andcompassion.Thechart read:"Greatempha-sis was placedonpleasant work, recreationandreligion.""tjydrotherapy, practiced from 1911-JLJ.1961, sedated hyperactive patients

by suspending them from ahammock in alarge tub while dousing them with warmwater. Those suffering from depressionstood in a shower whileneedle spray headsfired them with very warm or cold water.Hydrotherapy was gradually phased outwhen anti-depressant drugs and tranquil-izerscameintouse.

The primary treatment for schizophreniafrom 1936-1958 was insulin shock therapywhich involved injecting large doses of thesubstanceinorder toproducehypoglycemia(lowbloodsugar),andthencoma.Thecomawasendedbyaglucoseinjection.

"This reminds meof themovie 'Francis',"

saidonewomanasshe gazedataphotoofanactual lobotomy being performed. ("Fran-cis" is arecent moviewhichtoldthestory ofhow actressFrancis Farmer wentin and outofmentalhospitalsformany yearsand howshe was finally given a lobotomy). A lobo-tomyis a surgicalprocedurewherethenervefibers that connect the frontal lobes of thebrainand thethalmusaresevered.

After most of the group had gatheredaround thephotoand thepsychosurgeryendofthechart,Acuffexplainedthat from1942--1952 suchsurgeries weredesigned to relievetension, anxieties and reduce hyperactivity.He added that this sort of treatment wasalways controversial but was the most ad-vancedprocedureofits time.

A description of electroshock therapy,which sends an electrical current through apatient'sheadthrough twoelectrodesplacedon their forehead, filledtheendofthechart.Theuseofdrugs broughtanend to this treat-ment in1961.

Acuff said the major types of treatmentused from thelate 1950s to present day aregroup therapy, psychotropic medications,behaviormodificationandactivitytherapy.

Reflectingon theoverallstatusof thehos-pitalAcuff said thebiggestproblemtheinsti-tutionfacesisovercrowding."We have1,044patientsright now and we receive 15 peopleeverymonth. We are feverishlyopeningad-ditional wards that haven't been used inyears/^hesaid.

Wjfc/estern currently maintains a policyfy of admittingonly thosepeoplewho

are either adanger to themselves or to thecommunity,saidAcuff.

"Thehospitaldoesn't haveroom for any-oneelse,"hesaid.Becauseonlypatients thathave been determined mentally ill by thestateareadmitted, thehospitaldoesnot ac-cept those whovoluntarilyrequest hospital-ization.

After Acuffs overview, thegroupwas ad-dressedby anurse who worksin the hospi-tal's sexual offender ward, a psychologistanda therapistsupervisor.Eachrelated what

theybelievedtobetheirrolein thecareofthepatients.

"Iestablishtheinitialrapport with thepa-tients,''saidMargeRay, who hasworkedasanurseatthe hospitalsince 1971.She said sheoftenacts as a peacemakerin difficult situ-ations, especially inher job in thesexualof-fenders ward. "We're dealing with verymanipulativepeoplewhoneedacalm influ-ence. Iguess Iwould say I'm a liaisonbetweenthedoctorandpatient."

Firewalking: 'Anyone can do it'by MichaelGilbert

As gallon after gallon of kerosenepoured onto the stack of wood and

thenblazedbright orange30 feetinto theair,Ishiveredand wonderedwhethertwo-and-a-half hours later, Ireally would walk acrossthe 1,300-degree coals that would be leftbehind.

About 60 peoplehadgathered with meatthe Long House Retreat in Redmond inFebruary to learn to walk across a oit ofglowing embers from Tolly Burkan, aCalifornia authorand self-awareness teach-er.

Burkan, a tall, slender man with a bushyblond moustache, claims to have taughtnearly 6,000 people how to walk across thecoals. He will be in the Seattle area againMondayand Wednesday to teachthe walk.

As far as the group assembled that Feb-ruary night was concerned, Burkan hadsome teaching to do. As each participant'stood and introduced him- or herselfat thebeginningof the workshop, fear was theonething that united all of them, fear of thesturdy, healthy feet turned into charredstumps by theglowingpileofcoals.

Fear, said Burkan, not walking on fire,was the theme of the evening's presentation.What hehad to offer, hesaid, was that fear,doubt and limitationsshould not preventusfromdoinganythingwe want todo.

As the workshop got under way in ablock-like, windowlessroomadjacent to thelawn wherethe fire wouldblaze,Burkanledthe groupin (ironically,Ithought) campfiresongs, andafter lighting the fireoutside,gotinto the meat of his presentation, whichincluded stories frompersonal experiences,magic tricks and a little layman's lesson inthe functionof thehumanbrain.

Burkan began teaching firewalking in1978, five years after he learned from afriend who was taught by aTibetan master.As far as he knows, Burkan is the onlyperson in the worldteaching the walkto thepublic.

In the six years he has been teaching thecourse

—and publiclymaking theclaim"any-

one can do it"— he said scientists haveflocked to study the phenomenon andmeasure the temperature of the coals.Although they can get as hot as 2,500degrees,Burkan said they average a toasty1,300 degrees.

Burkan told the group that the Datsunpickup truck parked out back had itsenginepouredat 1,100degrees.

"If you walk across those coals tonight,you are definitely risking your safety andyour life," Burkan said. "I'm nothere to tryto persuade you. Right now I'm trying toscare thesh- outofyou."

It was working,as far asIwas concerned.Ihad felt sure thatIwould walk before Iarrivedat the workshop.NowIwas begin-ning to have my doubts. Burkan told thegathering about his three "catastrophes"—people who burned their feet inone of hisfire-walkingsessions.

The first, a manin Norway, walkedontothe coals even though he heard "that littlevoice inside him telling him not to do it,"Burkan said. The man needed skin graftsand five weeksin the hospital. Burkan saidhenearlydied.

Listening to the things we tell ourselveswas one of Burkan's major lessons in theworkshop. What wetellourselves we canorcannot do, he explained, is based on ourbeliefs.

"Beliefs determine our experiencein life,"he said. "If you'd like to change how youexperiencereality,changeyourbeliefs."

The "trick" to fire walking, then, is re-programming yourself to believe walkingacross a bed of red-hot, 1,300-degree coalsunharmedispossible andthat youcando it,hesaid.

He told a story to illustrate the point.Once there was a babyplayingon the floor.A spidercrawledup to thebaby andonto thechild's arm. The baby was fascinated; thelittlething crawlinguphisarm tickled.

When the baby's mother walked into theroom, though,she screamed and swattedthespider off the baby and clutched her child,clucking soothingly "big bad spider wasgoingto eatyouup,precious! Butmommy'shere,sodon'tworry."

Naturally,when thebaby saw his mother

panic, he panicked too. About what, hedidn't know, but from that moment on, thechildbelievedthat spiders weresomething tobe afraid of, to stomp, yell and screamabout, when just moments agothechild wasexperiencingpleasureas thespider tickledhisarm.

Each of our experiences, like the child'sexperiencewith thespider and his mother, isstored in our memory, says Burkan. Asystem in the brain scans our memorymillionsof times each day to see what eachthing weexperiencemeans.

"What happens in the fire walk," hesaid,"isawholelifetimeof experiencesand beliefsgorightout thewindow."

In the brain, he explained, are specialchemicals that have to do with pleasureandpain, and their secretion is stimulated bythought. Positive thoughts bring a positiveresult, while negative thoughts bring anegativeresult, hesaid.

Belief that walking through red-hot coalsis posible is translated into a chemicalmessage in the brain that in turn keeps thefleshof the feet free from harm, concludedBurkan.

"If you think you are going to destroyyourself, you're not going tobeable to walkon the coals," he said."But if you can takethat first step through the invisiblemembraneof fear that confronts you whenyou stand before the coals, you've alreadydone what it takes to change your bodychemistry."

Fire walkinghasbeenpartof severalcul-tures and traditions throughout the

worldfor thousands of years. It is practicedin India, Malaya, Japan, China, the FijiIslands, Tahiti, the Society Islands, NewZealand, Mauritius, Bulgaria and Spain,among other places. It is believed to havebeen performed in classical Greece andancientChina andIndia.

The ritual takes several forms, the mostcommonbeingsimply walkingthroughabedof red-hot embers. In some cultures,however, walkersmust pass througha blaz-ing log fire, or have a bucket of emberspouredovertheirheads inwhat is known asa fire bath.

In Fiji and Mauritius, red-hot stones areused.Elsewherewalkerslash themselveswithflamingtorches.

Fire walkingin many cultures is believedtoensure agoodharvest.Inothers, it is usedtoprove theinnocenceor guilt of an accusedperson.If theaccused can walk throughthecoalsunharmed, heis innocent.Fire walkersbelievethatonly those with faithwillemergeuninjured.

Modern researchers and scientists haveposited several explanations for the feat,such as extra-thick calluses on the feet, asecretionof a thin layer of sweat along thebottom of the feet, a protective surge inblood pressure, and high tolerance to pain.Burkan and other specialists dispute theseexplanations.

Exposure even for an instant to 1,200degreeheat would cause third-degreeburnsto the epidermis and dennis layers of theskin, saymedicalexperts.Such temperatureswouldburn through the foot,leavingahunkofcharcoal.

The time had come, and Iwas morepsyched and intense thanIever was

beforeasoccer gameor finalexamasIstoodwith the group circled around the pile ofglowingcoals that wasleft fromtheblazewehadlita couplehours ago.

Burkan nimbly raked to coals carefullyinto a menacing orange sidewalk about 10feet long and three inches deep. Standingabout 20 feet away,1could feel the intenseheaton my bare shins andankles.

It had been raining inRedmondthat day,butIknow it wasn't becauseIwas standingbarefoot incold, wet grass that my kneeswereshakingsohard.Iwasscaredtodeath.

After raking the coals, Burkan told thenewspaperphotographersthere toprepare totakepictures.He wasaboutto walk.I gaped in complete, open-mouthed

wonderas hestrodeto oneside of the path,paused for a moment, and quickly strodeacross the coals. His feet made a crunchingsound. His wife Peggy almost immediatelyfollowed him, as did another experiencedwalker who had agreed to walk for the

benefit of the picture takers. All threeemergedunharmed.

After that,Burkan instructed the photog-raphers to putaway theircameras:a walkerat a previous workshop had been badlyburnedwhenheheard theclick of ashutter.

Then he invited the rest of the group towalk. For about 15 seconds everyone wasfrozen, staringat the coalbed, but once thefirstpersonbroke theice andstrode across,asteady stream of walkers crossed the pathunscathedfor thenext fourminutesor so. Itwas magical. Young and old people,students, doctors, just plain peopleapparentlyin full control of their senses,allwalking over these evil looking, vibrantorangechunks of fire withoutsomuch as an"ouch!"I stared dumbfounded as each person

stepped through the burning embers. Oneman started,thenstopped,thenstarted, thenstopped again. After a minute he startedoncemore,and walkedrightacross.

Burkancalled out that he would put outthe coals in one minute.Ipanicked. Ihadbeen standing and watching, rhythmicallyrepeating to myself 'I can do it,' but themessagehadn'tquite movedmeintoaction.""f 'o!" It screamed through my

VJbrain.Go, damnit!" A millionthoughtsmusthave flashed throughmyheadinaninstant.What wouldmy momand dadsayifIcalled them from the hospitalto tellthemImight neverwalkagain becauseI,ofmyown free will, walked barefootout intothe middleof 1,300-degree coals...whatwould my friends say now thatIhad toldthemIwas going to walk on fire... it'ssostupid!Why doit?...

And then Irelaxed. And nearly rantoward the coals, walking over them likethey were a lawn of freshly mowedTichondragrass, like thekindIused tomowin theyardathome.Iwasso excitedIalmost

missedthesensation.My first step was with my left foot. As I

plantedit firmlyon thecoalsIwassureIhada roaringblister growing across the bottomof my foot. ButIkept walkingand didn'tlookdown. It washot.

OnceIgot to the other side,Ilooked at'

my foot.Nothing, just some blacksoot fromthe coals.Iwalked up to Dan Campos, aSpectator staffer who walked a coupleminutes aheadofme, and the two ofus justgrinnedlikeidiots.

My feet felt fresh and cold in the soggy,rain-soaked grass.Ikept looking at them.Waytogo,guys!

To this day Iam stunned when I thinkabout whatIdid that February night. Istillhave no ideahow it is physicallypossible;Ionly know that it isphysicallypossible.And

Idonotplantoperform the "trick" formyfriends at our next barbecue. Walking overthe coals for the sake of walking over thecoalsor simplyto impressothers was not thepointof theexperience,at least not forme. /

1hadconquereda completelyrationalandinstinctual fear with the power of my ownmind,ashad all theothers who walkedthatnight.Ibelievedinmyself, riskedmy safetyonthat belief, and won. Allthat fear turnedout tobe fantasy; therereallywas nothingtobeafraidof.

Scoreboard

PLAY BALL!Believe it ornot, the 10-24 Chieftain base-

ball team has a chance to make the NAIADistrict 1playoffs.

A confusing districtplayoff picture lookslike this: Three teams from the six-teamdistrict qualify fortheplayoffs. The first twoteams qualify on the basis of their recordsagainstNAIAopponents.CentralWashing-ton and Whitworth have these two spotslockedup.

The third team willadvance on the basisof its record in designated games againstopponents in the district. That means S.U.,1-2 in such games, hasan outside chance ofslippingpast Pacific Lutheran, which is 4-2in the designatedgames.The Luteshave twogames remaining,bothwith S.U., while theChiefs have five designated games left ontheirschedule.

Gotit so far? Good.Now, the first S.U.-PLU matchup was supposed to be playedyesterday, but it was rained out. Chieftaincoach Dave Barb is hoping the teams canmeet today. If so, the Chiefs will play onegame with the Lutes and one game againstPuget Sound, shaving what was to be adoublehealderwith the Loggers down to theone designated game the team's had left toplay.

If the games are rained out again today,Barbwilltry tosqueezethemintomorrow.

Then, it's on to theKingdomefor the finalmatchup with PLU Friday at 5:30 p.m.Today is the last day to get half-price boxseats at the intramural office. Tickets aregood for the Mariners-California AngelsgamefollowingtheChieftain-Lutecontest.

Trivia buffs will note, also, that Friday'sgame marks the return to the dome of thefirst team to ever play baseball in thestadium.S.U. playedWestern in 1976 underthe cement sky togiveKingdomeemployeesa dress rehearsal before the big-leagueMarinersopenedtheirseason. Friday's gamewill be S.U.s second appearance in theKingdome.

The final designated game of the season'will be a doubleheader against Central onSunday inEllensburgbeforetheChiefs wrapup theirseason witha twinbill next Tuesdayagainst the Huskies at Graves Field on theUW campus.

Based on the theory of positive thinking,here's thescenario:S.U. beatsPLU andUPStomorrow and crushes the Lutes in theKingdome Friday to leave PLU 4-4 indesignatedgamesand theChiefs4-2.

Inallprobability,S.U. will lose bothendsofthedouble-headerto thered-hotWildcatsSunday, to finish 4-4, then advance to theplayoffs on thestrength of a betterhead-to-headrecordagainstPLU.

And presto, the 13-25 Chieftains wouldbeinthedistrict playoffs.

The Chiefs won three of six games lastweek to keep the playoff candle burning.S.U. swept a pair from UPS last Tuesday,14-8 and 15-5, before Whitworth snappedafive gameS.U. winstreak Friday afternoon,13-4. The Chiefs came back Fridaynight tobomb patsy Judson Baptist with a schoolrecord 28 hits, 31-11. The game also set aChieftainrecordforruns inaballgame.

S.U. then dropped a pair to ConcordiaSaturday,5-4 and 13-3.

SecondbasemanMarvin Carter,hitting atan incredible .518 clip, collected 11 hits lastweek toextend hishittingstreak to 16games.The junior smackedhis second homerof theseasonand rapped three doubles and drovein11 runs.

Carter's brother Clarence got his 27thconsecutive stolen base to break the oldschool record of 26. The fleet center fieldergot caught,however,on his 28thattempt, tomark the first time he has been caughtstealing in two seasons. Clarence picked upeight hits last week, including three triplesanddroveineightruns.

Righthander Kevin Van Gayer picked uptwo wins last week with victories overUPSandJudson Baptist topush his recordto 3-5and tie him with freshman southpaw JeffRemily formost winsthis season. VanGayerstruck out nine batters in his two appear-ances to extend his team-leading totalX's to28.

The stupor Sonics:Post Mortem byKeithM.Grate

Playoff thoughts:MikeGilbert,you were rightabout yourNew Jer-seyNetsandIrefused tobelieve you.Iam abeliever now. However,Itold youabout the Sonics.

The Sonics are the talk of the town for the wrong reason. The talkhas included trading Gus Williams and firing Coach Lenny Wilkens.These ideas are pure nonsense. Iwill admit thatIwas not surprisedthat the Sonics crumbled like potato chips against the Dallas Maver-icks.

Wilkens can't do much whenhis team throws the ball away in theclutch. TheSonics do nothave any "clutch players" other thanWil-liams and Jack Sikma. Remember, it was a Williams three-point shotat the buzzer that won a playoff game for the Sonics. The Wizardneedssome helpin the backcourt.

This backcourt problem developed when the Sonics traded awayDennis Johnson.D J.is now playing for the Boston Celtics who are asolid favorite for the crown. The loss ofD.J. left the Sonics without adefensive stopped in the backcourt. Maverick guard Rolando Black-man ate theSonics aliveandwas personally responsible for leading theMavericks past the Sonics ingame five. NBA guards have feasted onthe Sonicsall seasonlong.

My deepest sympathy to Sikma. He has no help up front. WhenSikma goes out, the Sonics do not have a consistent scoring threat inthe frontline. The powerhouse teams in the league all have forwardswho can score 20 points a game or more. The Sixers have "Dr. J.,"Boston has Larry Bird, and there is MVP candidate Bernard KingoftheKnicks,Mavericks' Mark Aguirre and Utah'sAdrian Dantley. Thelist is too long for Seattle not to be on it. The Sonics have too manyforwards that don't do much. Theneed for a solid backup center forSikma is obvious.

TheSonics' present problems stem from past blunders, suchas thegiving awayof LonnieShelton.The Sonics got only adraft choice outof the deal. They lost a power forward who could take some of thephysical pressureoffSikma. That is why the need for morebeef in theforecourtexists.

The trading of Sheltonand D.J. broke the cardinalruleof winningchampionships. You don't break up a winning combination. Thebackcourt duoofWilliams and Johnson was amatch made inheavenuntil they broke it up. Also, don't forget that it was D.J. who wasnamedMVP when the team wonthe title.

As for firing Wilkens, well let's be for real! Lenny has not had acomplete starting five since they traded D.J. The Sonics draft choicesof the past haven't been tooproductive. Taking chances onmarginalplayers in order to keep the payroll low will not win any champion-ships let alone playoff games anytime. To ask Wilkens to producemore than what he hasnow is simply unfair.

* * ♥

On to the good things in life! Clarence Carter continues his stolenbase streak.At last count he was 27 for 27. Thisbreaks theoldschoolrecordof 26.1guesshe canstealthesweet out ofsugar too.

Please keep the commentsand criticism coming! They are deeplyappreciated,honestly! Sometimes in the madness ofdeadlines,Icoulduse agood laugh or two. Seriously, though,Iwant to thank eachandevery one for taking thetime tosend their thoughts. Please rememberone thing;if youare notpart of the solution,then youarepart of theproblem.
