OBSERVANCE

BOD manuevers for S&A power Last week, BOD members held a special meeting in which they voted to send Services and Activities (S&A) Fees Committee Chair Alyson Bolles packing. The S&A Fees Committee, which was intended to be autonomous, is responsible for drafting a set of guidelines for groups on campus who take funds from the S&A account. These groups include, among others, the BOD, Women's Resource Center and Theatre Department. The S&A Fees Committee recently issued a set of proposed guide­ lines to all of the user groups for review. BOD President Amy Gillespie promptly asked Bolles to present the guidelines to the BOD for approval. She accompanied this request with an ultimatum: she wanted to see it before April 15 or else the BOD would pass the guidelines for them. This is funny, because the existing instructions for the committee are to submit the final draft of the guidelines to the vice president for student affairs, who in tum presents them to the Board of Trustees (BOT). No BOD involvement at all. Bolles failed to offer up the proposed guidelines to the BOD by the ordered deadline. So, instead of getting what they wanted, they elimi­ nated Bolles from the equation altogether, which helped them gain con­ trol over the setting of the guidelines. It's kind of like when you're a kid at your friend's house and they want to play checkers and you don't; they get mad and kick you out of their house because you're not play­ LETTERS . ing their game. With Alyson, the BOD evicted her from her own home. What's scary about the BOD controlling the guidelines for the S&A money, is they are advised and overseen by groups who receive S&A Diversity coordinator calls paper racist dollars. Campus Life, the BOD's advisor, receives the largest amount of To the editor, sion involves a cartoon devised by It is wonderful that CWU has a funds from the S&A.

Hardball seeks winning season by Mike Ferrari Staff reporter

Put a hold on the travel miles and unpack those bags, ~he baseball team's heading home. Snapping a season long tradition of traveling every week, the Wildcats enjoyed the confines of Tomlinson Field last week. St. Martin's College, Whitworth College and Albertson College came to town for three double­ headers. Coach Desi Storey said since an 0-4 weekend in Idaho back in March, the teams playing at or close to .500. "Four and two will be O.K., five and one will put us at .500 after the week," Storey said. "We need to sweep St. Martin's to set the tone. We can't let the games against Whitworth ge;t away." Central faced St. Martin's College Wednesday at home where they overcame a 5-0 deficit, enroute to a 14-5 victory over the Saints in the first game of the twin-bill. Scott Earle overcame a rocky first inning after giving up five runs. He would go on to hold Saints batters to one hit over the next four innings, improving to 4-4 on the season. Colby Sherill's RBI single in the third inning broke a 5-5 standstill. The 'Cats put the game away in the fifth inning, putting up eight runs. Kevin Reitan/ Observer Brian Cobb led the hitting barrage with two Tom Ammerman slips by the catcher giving the Wildcats a 15-2 lead against doubles and a single.
