Although we entered college with different hopes and ideas, each wanted the same thing... a future. Every year we moved one step closer to the reality of this future For many of us this would be the year that we took that inevitable step...the achievement of our goals and final farewell to Central. For those of us who remained behind, many steps were left to climb, academically and socially.

Actor Bob Berret said of his par¬ ticipation, ... it was an interesting change from the other plays that have been done.” It gave an interesting look at life, love and lust in the Restoration era. he concluded. 18 Man of Mode Glimpses A s the lights go up, a lone, frail figure can be seen. ‘ What the hell are you doing in my attic? the old man shouts at the audience. He then begins to share memories of Ns family, serving as host for a new student drama experiment, an evening of Glimpses. A combination of six plays and play segments were presented Criticisms and opinions were later sought from the audience Each play was written and directed by a CWU student. What follows are glimpses of Glimpses. The Revenge” by Shawn McGehee A young man (Shawn McGehee) and woman (Paula Johnson) are nearing the end of an evening out. They appear to be enjoying themselves as they discuss the evening s events. The woman pours drinks and casually adds a few drops of a drug to her date ' s He soon becomes dizzy and aware of the fact that he s been drugged. Through his stupor he hears her tell the tale of a teenage girl who lost everything as the victim of a cruel joke one night. She continues on to reveal that it was this young man who raped her. He denies being there but she persists that it was him. The lights flash off momentarily and come on just long enough to see her holding a butcher knife above his head. The lights come up again upon the same scene but this time there is a new unsuspecting victim (Jeff DeCamp). The scene re¬ peats itself... Angie” by Kelly Dworak A rhythm and movement piece, Angie is a new dimension of expression for the Drama Department. The outline of a young girl asleep on a bed slowly emerges. Suddenly three figures, all dressed in black, begin to torment her. Suddenly three figures, the evil forces m Angle ' s dream, begin to torment her. Three figures dressed in white now arrive on the scene and begin to do battle with the evil figures. They also try to reassure Angie that the good forces have once again dominated over evil. The Mad Tea Party by Paul Vose TNs story was adapted from Alice in Wonderland. ' A madcap look at the Tea Party, Vose ' s version holds a few new surprises. Cheryl Barnett played Alice with Vose as the Mad Hatter, Shawn McGehee and Ken Sims joined in the fun as the Door Mouse and the March Hare. Glimpses was a first time effort by an alt-student com¬ pany, the first In what they hope will become an annual event. 20 Glimpses ! spr Glimpses 21 Orchesis ignites crowd D isplaying an Incredible medley of form and style, Orchesis dancers enthralled their audience with the spring performance Dancescape, Under the general management of Lana Jo Sharpe, the students of Orchesis develop the various aspects of the show.

Mixing colorful costumes with creative and original use body movement added to the overall flavor of this piece Flashlights held by the dancers (Cindy Alexander. Adnenne Mildon. and Katy Reeves) were occasionally used as the only form of lighting. This turned out to be a fun concept for Ormbrek ' s work. Other highlights included guest performances by dancers from The Ellensburg Dance Centre, a dramatic dance to Sting s Englishman in New York. and a beautifully flowing piece called Domlna which carried the black-gowned dancers mystically about the stage 22 Orchesis Orchests 23 T his was the theme for the 1988 Parents Weekend, highlight¬ ing the importance of jazz at Central The Jazz Band is an integral part of music fare offered at Central and provides students and the commu¬ nity alike with great entertainment year round. John Moawad, Professor of Mu¬ sic and Director of Jazz Studies and Percussion helps a handful of gifted students attain excellence as musicians. They, in turn, provide free enter¬ tainment many times during the year in the SUB Pit and at Papa Johns on Wednesday nights. In addition, students can pay a small ticket price for some top- notch jazz entertainment by attend¬ ing the ever-popular Jazz Night held in McConnell Auditorium Central s reputation has grown steadily over the years for the qual¬ ity of jazz performers turned out by Moawad and the CWU Music De¬ partment. 24 Jazz Jazzing it up C entral Washington University has the nonored distinction o being famous for its jazz And currently, jazz music is becoming more and more popular throughout the Northwest. In an article entitled Ear¬ shot Jazz, Northwest magazine recently listed more than 45 artists scheduled to perform in the Seattle area. Places like the Paramount, Parkers, and Dimitricus Jazz Alley come alive with jazz festivals each year Jazz has a unique beat, swing and feel It seems to flow more than other kinds of music, even though it is mostly improvisational in form, The ability to Improvise is a gift Jazz musicians are often more highly trained, than, for example pop top-forty performers. While pop artists may strive for a look and a show, jazz musicians stnve for a total musical experience. Jazz 27 Come play with us T he 1987-88 Central Washington University marching band was truly a delight to watch this year.

There are about 110 members of the band this year. They meet for rehearsals four times a week in two hour sessions.

She also likes txke riding, sewing and cooking. At Central, she has taken jazz, modem dance, tap. ballroom and folk dancing. In her freshman year, Spicer auditioned and made the Orchesis team. It ' s kept her busy ever since She practices six hours a week, and each year gives countless hours to the many creative details of dance production Each spring Orchesis presents a week-tong dance festi¬ val featuring students and members of the local communi¬ ty The popular two-hour shows feature the work of stu¬ dent choreographers, set and costume designers and a wide variety of dances and dance styles.

A word known mostly to chemistry majors in Dean Hall. The co- founder of this popular event is Fred Voosen. Fred is a graduate student originally from Cathlammett. WA and won the 1982 Outstanding Chemistry Student of the Year Award for the Portland ACS Chapter while attending Lower Columbia College. He earned his B.S Degree m Chemistry at Montana Tech and came here to Central as a grad student to do a research project Currently, he is creating a compound made from the synthesis reaction of silicon and carbon. He is attempting to create something that has never been made before. II it works, I ' ll be published as a student. Very few people get published, Fred explained. He became interested in silicon as a result of a professors ' interest in organic chemis¬ try at Montana Tech Fred noticed that the plants growing near mine talings contain a large amount of silicon and worked to find the correlation between organic materials and sibcon. Fred has been a lab T A. for the past two years at CWU and hopes to work in an analytical lab after graduation. He wants to work on such environmental issues as toxic waste and acid rain He may also pursue a PhD after graduation. There ' s just something about it that intrigues me Fred, however, is not all work and no play He and his roommate Pat are co¬ founders of the weekly Snakefest Together, they own three snakes—Julia, Squeezer, Monty Python and David Boa, and one iguana, ZZ. They also have enough rats to keep them happy. They have named the party that coincides with their feeding times as Snakefest. Fred has not always been an inspinng Herpe¬ tologist: he began with the usual cat and dog pets and progressed to tarantulas and eventually reptiles. 78 Seniors picke Roberts.

It ' s no wonder—the team has had a history of winning sea¬ sons and exciting games Best of the fast-action games were against rivals PL.U. and Western. Winning, losing and win¬ ning streaks mid and late season characterized Central s style this year Western won the District 1 cham¬ pionship in early March with a OS¬ SA victory in Bellingham, taking the best-of-three championship series two games to one. This loss dropped Central to 23- 11 for the season Still a season record was set and five single¬ game team records during the year. The Cats netted a 85.6 scoring average, the highest in school his¬ tory Central scored 100 or more points seven times, the most ever in a single season. Game records set included most field goals (62). most field goal at¬ tempts (104) and widest victory margin (62), all In a 135-71 win over Northwest College; most three- point attempts by an opponent (25 versus Northwest College). Many games were crowd-pleas- ers and only three members of the 12-player roster were seniors That leaves a lot of returning talent and the promise of a scorching season next year.

Marc Greeley, a senior, led the team with a .402 batting average, topping his record-setting performance last year and remaining on top. He also came through with six game winning RBls and some heroic plays at short. Team players Ron Kostick and Joe Dawson turned in strong season performances as well. Both finished with batting averages in the upper 300 s and also contributed to the team with some great defensive performances Whether it’s win or lose at the senes it s been a hot year for CWU Baseball. frem TO, Dave Siguaw.
