NewsBattle of the Bands rocks campus communityJamilaJohnsonNews Editor

The crowd roared and on-stagethe band felt the warmth of pureenergy. Dane Larsen, lead singerfor Fate's End, looked out at thecrowdas his voice ranginsync withpowerful chordsand skillful drumming. Asthe last group to take thestageatBattle oftheBandslastFriday,Fate'sEnd followed many good bands,but werestill able to cap-ture the audience immedi-

"Listening to the crowdand hearing theircheers...it's...well it'samazing.Itenergizesyou,"Larsen, sophomore psy-chologymajor, said.

It is this energy thatmakes Fate's End feel perfectly athomeon stage.

Thebandis comprisedofLarsen,University of Washington bassistKyleLinebarger,GreenRiverCo-mmunity College guitarist EvanMurphy, and UW drummer JoyDurham.

As the four left the stage, theaudience— for the first time thatnight— screamed for an en-core.

"At that moment it waslikeIdidn'tcare whetherornot wewere going to win anymore.We just wanted to keepplay-ing,"Larsensaid.

Fate's End did not get tokeepplaying,buttheydidendup walkingaway fromBattle

of the Bands with first place and$100.

For a little over four hours,11bands took the stage in CampionBallroomduring thiscontest.In thedarkened room they played their

best for the hundreds of friends,strangersand the tableof judges.

Althoughthe situation seemedtowarrant acompetitive spirit,back-stage away from the limelight andthe crowd, friendships builtonre-spectemerged.

"The level of support betweenbands is unique for something ofthis nature," Rice Baker-Yeboah,

singer with OnlyOneOcean, saidafter performing.

Before takingthestage,theDerekFisher Bandsat calmly practicing.Lead vocalist Nate Kantner wasimpressedby the levelof competi-

tion and held the otherbands ingreatesteem.

"I've heard some verysolid performances,"Kantner said as DerekFisher strummed on hisguitar.

The judgesnext favor-ite performance camefrom the second-placeDwindling Gypsies.

"I was definitely downwith the Dwindling Gyp-sies. They are good andthey'recool guys,"Larsensaid.

The Gypsies were acrowdpleaserwiththeirgreatstageprescence, talent and song aboutNintendo.

"Theseguysare awesome,"saidRuth Garrison, a UW alum whocame toBattleof theBandswithherSUfriends.

Thirdplace went toMordecai,agroup that a had agoodcrowd fol-lowingandbrought theaudienceto

raise their lighters.

SlTie night did see a fewmps. Several intoxicated

students heckledemcee KyleCease, of/0 ThingsIHateAbout You.Andothers madesome vocal comments abouthow attractive Fate's Enddrummer Durham lookedonthestage.

Larsenknows Durham wasabletotakecareofherself,butafterwardhe couldn't help but say, "If youhurt my drummer, Ibreak yourface."

The band Fate's End is sevenyears old but has had some prob-lems keeping drummers over theyears.Durham joined thegroup inthe falland now the group is com-plete,Larsen said.As a result theyare sometimes protective of theband'snewest talent.

"Itissocool tobe surroundedbypeoplewho aremoremusicallytal-entedthan me,"hesaid.

Many prizes to the GAP, Sub-way,andExperienceMusicProjectwere given throughout the night.The $100 First place prize will gointotheFate'sEnd's fund foreitherobtaininganewset ofdrums,aPAsystem or their nextrecording.

As Fate'sEnd plans for the fu-ture

— all the members are focusedmusic careers— the band has itssights setonthepossibility ofplay-ing Quadstock and opening for amajorband,eventhoughSEACtoldthis year's bands they werereserv-ing the right not toask the winningbandtoopenQuadstock.

O'Neill says goodbye to ASSUSean ReidCo-ManagingEditor

Last Wednesday, ASSU Presi-dent Scan O'Neill formally an-nounced he will not be seeking asecond termas the head ofSeattleUniversity's studentgovernment.

TheSpectator recentlysat downwithO'Neill todiscusshis termandthepossibilities for the future.

Spec:When youwent intoASSU,how muchofan influence was thenpresident VirgilDomaoan?

O'Neill:Itwasverypositive. I'velooked at my presidencyas a con-tinuationof whathedeveloped,youknow,buildingr>ffofitand strength-eningoff ofit.Ithink we'rea verygoodcomplementof workinghardforstudents.Virgi1wasalwayssup-portive and one of those peoplehelpingmetoappreciate todowhatIwanted todo.

There's a lot ofhardships inbe-ingwithstudentgovernment.Ifyoudo it for anything but service forstudents and the community andwantingtolearnandgrow;ifyoudoit for any other reason than those,you'regoing tobe disappointed.

Spec: Are there times when youfelt frustrated withstudentgovern-ment?

O'Neill: Yeah,Ithink there'stimes throughmyyearswhenwe'vebeen debatingin the representativeassembly. We've been debatingthings that are good, but we havelengthydebatesonissuesthatmaybewon't matter too much to the stu-dent body and it takes away from

the energy togo out and dothose things.The most im-portant thingforthestudentsis being outthere andpresent withthem, and ad-voca t ingprojects.

Spec: Sowhydon'tyoutell me, basi-cally, whyyou'rebowingout?

O'Neill: Ispent a lot ofpersonal timethinkingaboutthe issueat thebeginningof this quarter,it s Deenan incredible year with all theseevents, with theGalaand the open-ingoftheStudent Center.ButIalsoknew thatIneeded tostart thinkingaboutmy senioryear.Ithink I've hit a pinnacle of

knowledge and experience withwhat I've done. [ASSU] is a greatprocesstobeinvolvedin,butthere'salso lot of meetings. (Laughs) It'sbeen a greatpart of my life here atSUandsometimesit's taxing.Nor-mally,at least now, it's 40 hours aweek.I'm lookingforward tohav-ing time to focus onexactly whatIwant todo.

Spec: Is there anyone you seewho'll be stepping forward next

yearaspresident?O'Neill:Ithinkthere'ssome that

have expressed interest in it fromASSU. My hope would be thatpeople from thecommunity wouldalsogetinvolved,maybe fromsomeother student leadership.

Spec: What areyou looking for-wardto in your final [spring]quar-ter, inspring?

O'Neill: When Imade this an-nouncement[Iknew]itwasatoughthink tolet go of, but it also drivesme tomake...itastrongconclusiontothisyearand showlessonslearnedto make it stronger for next year.Iwant to set out somepositive goalsonwhat wecould dobetter,togiveus a push and adrive.

O'Neill, resigningthis yearafter three yearsofservice,sits highinhis office overlookingthe library.

Ads attack SUKimburlyErvinStaffReporter

There they sit, staring out at thestudentswhoare soeasilydistractedfromtheirprofessor's lecture.Theylurethe viewer using flashypromo-tionaloffers,andmaking it seemasthough the card was designed justfor them. Insteadof listening tothelecture, which will inevitably endup on the test, the student sits andthinksabouttheircurrent creditsta-tus.

Odds are, if youhavebeen in theAdministration buildinglately,youtoohavebeen inundated withcreditcardadvertisements.However,theyare lacking inone area.Theadsaremissingthe SeattleUniversitystampofapproval.

'The CAC is supposed to ap-prove everything that goes up,"stated Erin Hannum, student em-ployee at the Campus AssistanceCenter (CAC). "If they're notstamped, they'll be taken down,theoretically."

Even though, the creditcard adsare lacking in approval, they haveslipped past the radars of the CACstudentmanagers,whoare respon-sible for taking down out-of-datebulletinflyers.Theyhaveprobablybeen passed by because of theirlocation in classrooms, asopposedto the approved bulletin boards inthe hallways.

As theamountoftuitionrisesandthe cost of living continues to in-crease,creditcardsoffer simpleandquick access toinstant cash.How-ever,moststudentsdonot takeinto

account the risk they take whenusing credit cards to pay off their"debts." Graduating students haveanaverageof$20,402 incombinededucation loan and credit card bal-ances that willtakea lifetimetopayoff.

College students are carryingcredit cards in record numbers; atotalof83percentofundergraduatestudentsarecardcarriers, which isup 24 percent since 1998. Oncestudentsarrive oncampus,theytypi-cally double their credit debt andwilltriple thenumberofcreditcardsintheir wallet bythe timetheygradu-ate.

"Often people(especiallyyoungpeople just entering the world ofcredit financing)canbe temptedtopurchase things they don't reallyneed and can't afford, simply be-cause they can swipe a card andsign a credit card slip," DavidCarrithers, professorofEconomicsand Finance,said. "So the firstcau-tion is nottobe fooled into thinkingyou have more money than youdo."

"Myadvice isthat ifastudenthasa credit card, don't purchase anymore than you would without acredit card," Carrithers continued."Second,pay offthe balance in theFirst month. Use it foras manypur-chasesas youcan withoutviolatingthe first twosuggestions,and ifyoucan't,cut it upand throw itaway."

There are many temptingoffersout forstudentssearchingforcredit

"Ipay my tuition on my creditcard becauseIgeta rebate," AlisonStaudinger, sophomore politicalscience andliteraturemajor, stated."I also use my credit card morebecause Ican neverremember thebalance on my debit card, and itseems wheneverIusemy debitcardIoverdraw."

Local club answers safety concernsAustinL.BurtonCo-ManagingEditor

In thiscountry,itseemslike trag-edies always happen in groups.Fromkidnappings to shark attacksto school shootings, America getssweptupinone frenzyafteranotherfor a few months before the nexttrend captures the headlines.

The flavorfor thismonth?Night-club incidents. More than 200people havedied orbeenseriouslyinjured in the past three weeks, asthis trendhashit theEastCoastandthe Midwest. But if you're waitingforsomethingsimilar tohappenonthe West Coast,don't look towardsSeattle's Club Ninel6.

"Wehaveitdeckedoutinhereincase anything happens," says 27--year-old Justin Phounsavan, whohas worked as Ninel6's generalmanager foralmost twoyears.'Thestaff,theDJ, thebartender— allem-ployees know where everythingisand canhelppeople out."

Nine16,locateda half ablockoffofBroadway onPikeStreet, is oneof a handful of clubs within walk-

ing distance ofSeattleUniversity.Nightclub safety has come into

questionafter tworecent incidents:On Feb. 17, a stampede left 21peopledeadand57 injuredatE2, aChicago club. Three days later, apyrotechnics display went awryduringaconcert for'80smetalbandGreat White,causing a fire in Sta-tion,a suburbanRhodeIslandclub.The fire claimed 98 lives and putmore than50peoplein thehospital.

According to Phounsavan,a re-peatof suchincidents is highly un-likely at his place. If anythingpoppedoff thatmightcausea stam-pede,"allthe lightsare comingon"and all exits would be opened topreventa mad dash for one door."We havemore than oneexit.Anygood club is going to have morethan one," Phounsavan said.

Also,"Anyshow thatuses pyro-technics has tobe OK'dby theFireMarshall, and anything flammableneeds to be fireproofed,"Phounsavan said on Tuesday, thesamenightNine16hosted aconcertfor R & B superstarCraigDavid.

"Butshootingoff fireworks indoorsisabadidea tobegin with.Iwouldn'tbook anyone whouses fireworks."Healso points out at leastfour fireextinguisherswithinclosereach ofclub staff.

Still,city officials are takingex-trastepstopreventanothertragedy.On March 5,both the Seattle andTacoma city councils announcedthey were considering recommen-dationsmade for new fire preven-tion measures in localclubs. Someof the newmeasures proposedin-clude employeesafetyclasses, moredaytime andnighttimeinspections,mandatory fire sprinklers in allclubs, and mandatory fire alarmmonitoring. The fire departmentwould also like to have all clubs'fire alarms monitored directly bythe fire department.

"Seattle is very strict about[safety]. Every clubhas the samerules. Andmost clubs,if they wantto stay in business, will go alongwith it," Phounsavansays.

"Seattle clubs are pretty safe. Ifeelreally safe whenI'm at work."

SportsRedhawks split last gamesindisappointing seasonAustinL.BurtonCo-ManagingEditor

Ifbasketball was not sucha teamsport,CourtneyTinsley wouldhaveendedher collegecareer witha win.

She certainlydeservedit.Playingthrough an injury that might havesidelinedher in any other circum-stance, the 6-foot-3 senior centerplayedoneof her best gamesof theseason in her last game at SeattleUniversity.Tinsley put forthan admirable effort. But herteammates werenot able tohold up their end, as theRedhawks lost their seasonfinaleathome lastSaturday.

On Senior Night, Tinsleyscored10 pointsandgrabbed10 rebounds in SU's 73-59loss to Alaska-Anchorage,despite still suffering from amid-season hip injury. Shesays she feltabout 85-90per-cent but admitted,"I think itwasalso just a lotofadrena-line."ItwasTinsley's seconddouble-double of theseason.Ths other senior, reserveguard Teri Hubbell, startedfor the first time in her SUcareerandscoredtwopoints.

"It wasreallyemotional forme.Ididn't think I'dget so workedup about it," Tinsley said. "I wasexcitedandIwantedtoplay astronggame."

After putting together back-to-toacVi victoriesfor thefirst timesinceearly December

—beating Western

New Mexico on March 4, thenAlaska-Fairbanks,73-69,lastThurs-day— theRedhawks (9-18)wentintothe UAA game looking to salvagesomethingpositive out of their sea-son. But for whatever reason, theeffort wasn't there.

"I think everyone went in pretty

confident. Going into it with twowins we figured we could get ourlongest winning streak of the year,but thatdidn'thappen,"Tinsley said.

"You can pinpoint it pretty eas-ily,"headcoachDaveCox said."[Inthe two wins]weplayed witha lotofintensity and a lot of emotion. Weplayedextremely hardandcameoutwith two quality wins. We didn'thave the same levelofintensity Sat-

urday night," Cox said. "We justdidn'tbringit."

The Seawolves,particularly starforwardKamieJoMassey, tookad-vantage of the Redhawks' subpareffort. Massey scored a game-high20 points and collected nine re-bounds. She scored 14 points in thesecond half, when the Seawolvesallowed SU to pull within four be-fore goingon a 22-9 run toput thegame away.

"Iwas takingitlikeanormal gameup until the last minute," Tinsleyrecalled. "WhenIlooked upandsaw

there wasonly oneminute left,itallstartedtocomedownonme then."

TheRedhawkscommitted 27turn-overs and in fact played so slop-pily— blowing wide-open layups,airballing wide-open jumpers, andthrowing ill-advised passes thatsailedoutof bounds

—that themost

precise and organizedperformanceof thenightbelongedto theFilipinoyouth group that performed a cul-

turaldance routine athalftime."Youwouldthink they'dplay

hard. Obviously, CourtneyTinsley did," Cox said. "Sheendedher careerwithadouble-double whileplayingonprettymuch one leg."

For Cox, it was the end towhat he calls a disappointingseason. "Ireally thoughtgoinginour win-lossrecordwouldbeflip-flopped.Ithought we'd bein the playoffs," he said. "Wehadanopportunity toreallyendthe -season on a high note, andwe let that slip away."

ForTinsley, thisseason's on-court troubles were insignifi-cantcompared toherSUcareeras a whole."I was lucky.Noteveryonegets toplay collegiate■sports.WhatI'veexperiencedI

nk has mademe a stronger indi-vidual,"she said. "Itmade me a lotmore determined and motivated. Iwouldn't give itup for the world."

Allen gives Sonicsa complete playerDAVIDBUCK

ColumnistAnyone who follows the NBA

jknowsthatRayAllenhasthe sweet-est "J" in the League. What we[didn't know is that Allen can hityou with a dime or grab a boardbetter than mostguards; or at leastthat's what we'veseen sinceAllenpas adorned the Sonics green andIgold.Imean,has anyone watchedpirn play lately, it's like he's pos-sessed.

After nearing a triple-double hisfirst time out as a Sonic,hecamepack toscore 40against theClipsandthengetatriple-double againstthe Lakers.SinceAllen has joinedtheSonics,heisaveraging27points,7assists,and7reboundspergame.If thesenumbers stay this way,it'sgoing tobe like, "Gary who?"

Right now, even though Allenwasn't an All-Star,T-Mac,Kobe,and AIare the only players in theentire league who are better than[Alienathisposition.While thatlaststatement is up for debate, think

Asadie-hardMilwaukee Bucksfan,Ihave seen Ray Allen at hisbest. Ihave seenhim hit 10 threepointers in a single game.Ihave[seenhim score 42points ingame 6pf the '01Eastern Conference Fi-nals,adding 21 of those points inthefourth quarteralone.IhaveseenhimstarinaSpikeLeemovie,andIhaveseen him capture the hearts

While I'mnot here to dwell onIthe pros andcons of the trade that[sentthe "Glove" toMil-town,Iamperetotellyouabout theplayerthatjwill shape the next generation ofSonicsfans.InpreparingyouIwant[to say that you will probably see

morethreepointerstakenoutsideofBoston,Dallas,or Sacramento.

Allen is a tough player, eventhoughheisknownas a 'niceguy.'Anyonewhosayshe'ssoft(uramm,George Karl),musthave forgottenthe way he led the Bucks to theplayoffs in '00 and '01, muscledthrough the Eastern ConferenceChampionship series wherehe av-eraged27pointpergame,and startedin400plusconsecutive games.

Hewouldhaveled theBucksintotheplayoffslastyearaswell,exceptthe injury plagued team slid fromIstplace in theCentralDivision to9thplace intheEasternConferencein the course ofamonth's time.

Although that slide is basicallyunprecedentedinsportshistory,in-juriestoRayAllen,GlennRobinson,Tim Thomas, Michael Redd, andSamCassellmight havehad some-thing todo with it.Ya think?Ithink wecanandshouldexpect]

tosee more from RayAllen in thafuture,especiallygiven the mix oflSonicshe gets to work with.

Allenhas neverhad theopportu-nity to play with abig man likaJerome James before, nor has hehadthe opportunity toshow offhismultidimensional game. With asmany good players as the Buckshave, there was just never enoughbasketball togoaround;everybodyneeded their touches, from TimThomas to Anthony Mason. AddtheconstantcriticismfromGeorgeKarl, Allen was never given theopportunity to become the playertrue fans know he can be and isindeed.

Men miss postseasonbid,finish a successful 16-11NateZellSports Editor

Sitting in their hotel rooms lastWednesday night, the men's bas-ketball team knew it needed twowinsto haveachance for theplay-offs.They knew theycouldn't af-ford to go through the shootingdroughts that bad killed them intheirrecent losses.Theyalsoknewthey wouldbeplying in two of thetoughest environments they hadseenall season.

As blunt as it may seem, headcoach Joe Callero said itcorrectly."Wedidn

'tgetthebreaks,wedidn

't

stay healthy and we didn't shootwell."

Even thoughpostseasonplay willnot bea partof this Redhawks sea-son, their play this seasonresultedina 16-11record, the first winningseason innine years.

"I'm really proud of the playersand student body whostarted get-tingbehindthe team,"Callerosaid."I'mproud of everyone involvedwiththemen'sbasketballprogram.It'sexciting thatwe'recompetitiveand fun to watch."

LastweekendtheRedhawkswereonlyable to maintain their playoffhopes in the Alaskan tundra forabout 25minutes,beforebeingover-whelmed by two tremendous per-formanceson the inside. Thursdaynight, after leadingby one at thebreak, the Redhawks (9-9 Great

NorthwestAthletic Conference)fellapart in the second half,losing toAlaska-Anchorage 85-70. SUshotjust 34% from the field in thehalf,and were killedby the inside-out-side game of AAU.

PeterBullock had 25points and17rebounds,andMarkDrakeadded18 points for Anchorage as theypulledaway.

DarnellLyonsandNicLanoeachhad 14 points for the Redhawks.But without injured senior BryanPeterson, who wasout after injur-inganerveinhis lower leginprac-tice,SU didn't have the firepowertostay withAnchorage inthe sec-ondhalf.

Freshman Jeff McDaniel, nurs-ing asprainedkneehadninepointsand 10 boards, but the Redhawksfoundthemselves inafamiliarposi-tion with their second half offen-sive drought.

"We shot averypoorpercentage,which weneeded to doin order todo well,"Callero said."We missedshots and they hit shots.Theyhadanall-leagueplayerinBullock whokilledus inside. We tried to com-pensatewitha zone,and they startedhitting3-pointers."

Licking their wounds, it didn'thelpthattheRedhawkshad totravelto Fairbanks and play the numbertwoteamin theGNAConSaturdayafternoon. Fairbanks quickly tookaway any hope for SU,jumping to

a41-19 halftime advantageinroll-ing toan 81-59 victory.

"We tried to regroup againstFairbanks [on Saturday],but theirpress and zones really killed us.They showed why they are the #2team inthe conference. It's disap-pointing tolose thelast twogames,but we'retryingtokeepsight of thefact that we were 16-11."

While the season ends on a sournote, the Redhawks have provedtheyare anupand coming forceintheGNAC.This wasproved Tues-day when McDaniel was namedfreshmanof the yearin the GNACwhile Lyons received All-Confer-ence second teamhonors.

"Theamazing thingaboutJeff isthat he continued to improvethroughout the year," Calleropraised. "Most freshmen tend topeak inDecemberandbegin to fa-tigueinmid-January.Jeffwasplay-ing hisbestbasketball at theendofthe yearbefore being hurt.He hadthreedouble-doubles in the last sixgames. Younever see that from afreshman."

Callero also had highpraise forLyons, one of three seniors theRedhawks willlose from this year."Darnell will go down as one ofSeattleUniversity'smorecleverandgiftedscorers.He's not agreatpostplayer and he's not a great3-pointshooter. He's very skilled and un-derstandsbalance."

SU Softball previewAustinL.BurtonCo-ManagingEditorIf Brittany Sullivan and Sarah

Carrier are part of SeattleUniversity's Softball foundation,KrystalDuncan may beits future.

Comingoffof the best season inthe five-yearhistoryof theprogram(20-17), the Redhawks went intothe 2003 season lookingto takeonestepcloser tobecomingalegitimateWest Coastcontender.And while a1-5startcertainlywasn

'tpartofthe

plan,co-captainsSullivanand Car-rier haven't let the younger play-ers— includingDuncan— losesightof their goal.

"Ithink wecando justas wellaslast year,"Sullivan said. "We havegreatpotential, we're just going tohave tobring itall together."

Sullivanis the onlysenior on theRedhawks,acareer .306 hitter whohas picked up two straight honor-able mentionselections on the All-GNAC team. She is batting thirdandstarting inright field.

FollowingSullivan in theorder isCarrier,ajuniorwholed theGNACinhittinglast yearwitha.405 aver-age.Carrieralsowonfirst-teamall-conferenceandall-regionawards in2002,hersecondyearasSU'sstarterat thirdbase.

Duncan, who hits second, is theyoungest of the three Redhawksstandouts.Headcoach JimGentle-man says the sophomore backstopis,"One of the best catchersin theleague— maybe the best catcher inthe league."Duncan hit .339 as afreshman lastseason,startingevery

game behind the plateand leadingthe Redhawks inhomeruns (three)and walks (20) while finishing sec-ondinsluggingpercentageandRBI.

Together,the 2-3-4 hitters intheSU lineupwillbeexpectedtocarrythe load,especiallyfor a teammiss-ingkey components from lastyear.

Gonefrom the team areoutfield-ers Annette Gaeth and KirnMcDonald, the 1-2 hitters in lastyear's lineup and the two fastestplayers on the roster. Both havegraduated.

'They were on base constantlyand scored a lotof runs," Gentle-man said. "We need to figureoutaway toreplace that."

Gentleman sayshe'sbeenpleasedwith the team's pitching so far, asace Jennifer Hewitt, No. 2 starterPatriciaSonnett,andfreshmenErinKemper andKristinDonahuehaveturnedin impressiveperformances.

While theirrecordhasn'tshined,the Redhawks have beencompeti-tive.Allbutoneof their five losseshavebeen by one run.

All the morereason for SullivanandCarrier toremainoptimistic.

"There's no standout [GNAC]team this year.Ithink wehave apretty good chance of being com-petitive," Carriersaid.

"I think the players that reallyhave the heart and love the gamehavestuck with it and brought thisprogram up," Sullivan adds. "Wealso bring in good players everyyear. We've goneuphill since theday that1gothere, and we're no-

wherenearourpeak."

willonce againrecog-nizeindividuals ofout- istandingachievementas it has done for wellover 50 years.

Like many other universi-ties, SU has been awardingthe honorary degree as farback as 1948. Not onlydoesthe honorarydegree identifythose who have demon-strated extraordinary sup-port and service to the uni-versity, it alsoserves as aneducationalpurposebypro-viding students with ex-amplesofpeoplewhoselivesare worthemulating. Theac-complishments of thoseawarded with the honorarydegreerepresent the valuesand idealsSU hopes to instillin its students.

"Thehonorarydegreesarenot justhonoringsomebody,but they are part of what weare teach-ing," said

Eshelman,universityProvost andchairman oftheHonoraryDegreeCommittee.

Individualsmay benominatedfor the hon-orary degree based on sev-eral different criteria. Often,thosenominatedhave madegenerouscontributions to theuniversitythroughservicesordonations. Most candidateshave achieved accomplish-ments that have had a posi-tiveimpact on theregion,na-tion,or even the world. Theyare individualsofexceptionalcharacter who striveto makeapositive difference. Recipi-ents of the honorary degreecan also be those who havemadeconsiderable contribu-tions to furthering Jesuit orCatholic traditions.

Occasionally, Seattle Uni-versity will award major na-tional or world figures with

honorarydegrees.

Being theonlyinstitution

in the city thathonors major fig-I;in this

', Se-j Uni-rsitymallyI notard aipient

in this cat-egory with

an honorarydegree more

than once a year.Anexampleofa

major world fig-ure that theuniversityhasrecognized is

the Dalai Lama, who wasgranted an honorary degreein 1979. Some other well-known recipients of the pastinclude Corazon Aquino,former presidentof the Phil-ippines, ArchbishopDesmond Tutu of South Af-rica, and NBA coach LennyWilkins.

The nomination processbegins with an invitation totheuniversitycommunityandgroups associated with SUinviting them to make dona-tions. Agenerous number ofnamesare typicallyacquired.Membersof theHonoraryDe-gree Committee are alsoen-couragedtosuggestnomina-tions.Thecommittee ismadeupof 12 members, includingfaculty, staff, a graduate stu-dent, and an undergraduatestudent.Afterall nominationshave beenmade, the Honor-ary Degree Committee limitsthe number ofnominees andthen recommends the re-maining individuals to theBoard of Trustees.

John Van Mieghem, a se-nior,istheundergraduatestu-dent representative on thecommittee.

"Ifeelthatbeingonthecom-mittee is a great opportunityto represent the undergradu-atevoice,"saidVanMieghemwho began working with the

committee lastOctober."Thenominationprocess is prettysmooth. There are about 30to 40 nominations and thecommittee members supportthenomineesoftheirchoice."

Usually,honorary degreesare awarded at commence-mentceremonies;but some-times special occasion cer-emonies will be held for indi-viduals of particular impor-tance. Typically, one, some-times two individuals areawarded peroccasion.

Thehonoree is required tobe present at the ceremonyandgiveabriefspeech. Afterreceiving the honorary de-gree,therecipientholdssomeimportant responsibilities tothe university.

SU has athree to five yearplan for com-mencementhonorary de-gree recipi-ents.

According tothe HonoraryDegreePolicy,the plan identi-fies values theuniversitywishestocom-municate or

kinds of accomplishmentstheywish to honor over time.Each recipientisexpectedtovisitcampusandinteract withthe university community.

"We ask that recipientsmakeavailablesometime forinteractionwith studentsandwill pick a settingor groupofstudents that are particularlyappropriate to that person'sbackground or accomplish-ments. We wantsome directinteraction betweenstudentsand recipients of the honor-ary degree," explained Dr.Eshelman.

For example, when SUawardedJacobLawrence,anAfrican American artist whohassince passedaway, with

anhonorarydegree,hespenttime with the university's artstudents. Lawrence lecturedinclasses,critiquedstudent'swork, and offered his ownadvice.

When it comesdown to se-lecting the final recipients forthe honorary degree, timing

is an important factor. Thereare several individuals whoare worthy of being recog-nized,butcertain events thatare occurring at the time ofthe nomination can have atremendous effect of the se-lection process.

The recipients that will behonored at theJune15, 2003commencement ceremo-nies

—Kent Stowell, Francia

Russell, and Jim Sinegal—were selected largely be-cause of their accomplish-ments and contributions toSeattle University, but also,according to Eshelman,be-cause it was the right time tonominate these people.

Stowell and Russell havemade a tremendous contri-bution to theartcommunity inSeattle. Ballet is aform of artthatSeattleUniversityhasnotyet recognized. But StowellandRussell arealso worthy ofnominationbecause of aprogram that

'beganthisyearbetweenSUand PacificNorthwestBallet"We try to lookat over timewhat kindsof things

we're honoringand Stowell andRussell are respon-sible for the qualityof dancing. This isthe right year to behonoring them be-cause of SeattleUniversity's con-nection withPacificNorthwestBallet. It

is the ideal year," saidEshelman.

It is also the ideal year tonominate Jim Sinegal.

"If you think back to whatwas going on in 2002, therewere all sorts of scandals tothe extent where the termCEO was almostbecominga

term ofvirulent."^^" We thoughtthis was apar-ticularly impor-tant time tohonor Sinegaltoshowthestu-dentsandcom-munity thathere is a busi-

nesspersonofstrong ethicaland moral standards. Some-body whohasbeenverysuc-cessful by doing right,"Eshelmanexplained."Here'ssomebody who representswhat'sbestinAmerican busi-ness when what we havebeen readingabout is what'sworstinAmerican business."

By awarding honorary de-grees, SU has provided itsstudents with several posi-tive role models. Recipientsof honorary degrees reflectthe ideals that SU teaches,ideals that each individualshould strive to achieve.

Willis gets deep inTears of the SunRyannCooper

StaffReporterTearsoftheSuncaptures itsaudi-

ence withintenseaction scenes,butmore importantly it looks at howthe devastationof war impacts thepeople of Nigeria and creates anunbreakable will to survive, thatmakes ordinarypeople heroes.

When Lt. Waters (Bruce Willis)and his Navy S.E.A.L.S team aresent into the heart of Africa tores-cue Dr. Lena Kendrick (MonicaBellucci), two nuns and a priest,they discover that the rules of en-gagementare taintedby a sense ofcompassionand one's conscience.

What shouldhave beenaroutinemission with few complicationswhirlwinds intoadangerousescapewhen Kendrick refuses to accom-pany Waters to safety and insteadinsists Waters escortherself and agroupofrefugeesacrosstheborder.Thealreadyhazardousjourneyturnsdeadly when Waters and his mendiscover they arebeing hunted byrebel militia,knownfor their brutalkillings.

Bruce Willis onceagainrises tothechallengewithhisacting abili-ties and slips comfortably into theheroseatwe so lovehim in. Com-pared to past Willis shoot-em-upflicks likeDie Hardand TheSiege,Tears of the Sun takes itselfse.iously.Willis provesonceagaintobea f\ne actor.

Wafers it caught between, fol-

lowing orders,and what heknowsis necessary to complete the mis-sion, a conscience.This give-and-takeis wellportrayedbyWillis andwithoutadoubtnobodycouldhaveplayed the grizzled peacekeeperbetter.

The subtle romantic tension be-tween Waters and Kendrick's re-mains in thebackground andprop-erly so amongst the killings andconstant fearof capture.It isobvi-ous theyhavedifferentagendasandthe urgency of each is tastefullycapturedthrough the few buteffec-tive wordsWillis uses throughoutthe film.

The plot moves a little fast butplays on the sense of urgency andconstantneedforawareness,whichechoes through Willis' character ineveryscene.

The film incorporates many di-mensions touching on the impactthemissionhas notonlyonWatersand Kendrick's buton therefugeeswhostruggle withand witness firsthand their peoplebeingkilled.

Sit and Spin spins no moreMeganLee

"Before we went out ontours weused toplaySundaynight shows

"BrianColoff of theValentine Killers

Staff ReporterThe signon the frontof theSit&

Spin says "Closed for re-model,"but the truthis the Seattle fixtureisclosing for good.

For 10 years, the vibrant Sit &Spin sported funkiness in an arenawhere somany locals felt theinno-vative spirit of individuality wasslipping away. Nearly every Se-attleite recognizes the quirky, co-balt-blue fac.ade on Fourth Aye.betweenBellandBlanchard St.Thishipjointhad moxie.

Michael Rose and LindaBonnie opened the place in1993 withtheiroriginalideas,aspirations forquirky revo-lution and "trust-fundmoney." They decoratedthings they wereable to findat rummage sales, stickinggame boards onto the walls,andenlistingfunkadelicmis-matched lamps and plasticpineapples.

The Sit & Spin offeredvideo games,livegigs, beer,coffee, panini, and a coolplace to do laundry. It hadamazingpotential,but like a flow-eringgardenitneededconstantworkand attention, which, according toemployees, Rose and Bonnieweren't willing to provide.

Initially, the laundry portion ofthebusiness wasasignificantsourceofincome,grossingabout $250perday.But withoutmaintenance,moreand more 'outoforder' signs keptpoppingup, andeventually break-

down began to take over.After the first yearit become ap-

parent toemployees that RoseandBonnie had lost interest, mainlybecause it wasn't fun anymoreandthey didn't want to work to main-tain thebusiness.Thoughitcontin-ued tomaintain it'sreputation asa"fun" popular joint, for those whoworked at Sit & Spin was a dys-functional environment.

In1997thebackroomwasopenedfor shows. The theater was nevergiven a propername,but was re-

ferred to by some as the "VelvetCoffin."

"Before wewentout on tours weused to play Sunday night showsthere before heading out," BrianColoff, of The Valentine Killerssaid. "I lovedplaying there."

Although a plethora of showsrocked the coffin,it was unable toachieveanysortofconsistentregu-larity— another reason for Sit &

Spin'sdemise.There wereusuallyshows on Fridays and Saturdays,butsometimes Thursdays.ThenonSundays for a while, The Tabletsponsored anight show, 'Cavity,'that showcased localbands withaTexan twist.

Illusivebookingagentshavebeenblamed for the irregular bookingsandemployeesexpressedthat theyfelt this apathy alsoplayedinto thebreakdown.

Hamish Chappell, aSit & Spinemployee of eight years, worked

while simultaneously makinga short video documentary.Chappellis sadtoseetheplaceand his job go and cited theofficial reason for the closureas "owner disinterest."

He said the lease is up inJune and until then Rose andBonniearejust goingtorideitoutandgetridof what theycanalong the way.

"[Rose and Bonnie] wereplanning togo off to Indiatofind themselves," Chappellcommented."Butnow they'vebroken up. Who knows."

Noofficial auction hasbeenset tosell of the decorum.

Trustees ApproveFY '04 Budget and 5-year Plan

The BoardofTrustees recently approved Seattle University's budget for fiscal year 2003-2004. The budget was approvedwithin the contextof a 5 year Comprehensive Business Plan that Seattle University administrators,faculty and studentshave been developing toensure that our institution is positioned financially, academically andstructurally, to provide thebest undergraduate andgraduate education ofany independent university in the Northwest.The plan seeks to strengthenfour fundamental aspects of theSU educationalexperience:"Academic Excellence *Vitality ofour Campus Life" Facilities and Infrastructure " InstitutionalReputation, AlumniConnectednessand Resource Development

To support the goals outlined in the 5 year plan, the 04 budget calls for a 6.4 percent tuition increase for students inundergraduate programs and varying percentage increases for graduate programs, many of which will be in the range of3.5 percent. Room rates will be increased by 4 percent. Outlined below are the many improvements your tuition dollarswill helpSeattle University accomplish.Academic Excellence:The '04 plan and budget provides funding for faculty and resources that willenrich the academicexperience ofour students.New faculty positions will be added in response toour long-term effort to reduce class sizes inareas where it willmake a significant educational difference.Lemieux Library, which has beenhistorically under-funded,will undergo a multi-year improvement program. The University will also launch the long-delayed Center torTeachingand Learning, a professional development program for faculty designed to help them meet the diverse learning styles andneedsofstudents.Vital,EngagingCampus Life:Next yearsplan andbudget calls for a renewed commitment to creating a vital andengaged campus life for resident and commuterstudents.Specific areas that will receive additionalsupport are residencelife, new student orientation,athletics,recreational sports, student clubs andorganizations, andstudent programming(educational, social, andcultural).

Facilitiesand Infrastructure:The2003-04 budget allocateshinds tobegin the first ina four-year program toeliminate a

backlogofdeferred maintenanceofSU buildings.SeattleUReputation, Alumni Connectedness and ResourceDevelopment: Thecurrent economic climate has had anegative impact on Seattle University, reducing the endowment and thus the amount of moneyavailable to the Univemtytooffset tuition to pay educationalexpenses. Controlling tuitionlevels and increasingavailability orscholarship supportrequires investing in fundraising, alumni programs andmarketing. The 04 plan andbudget addspositions and enhancesprogramming support for development, marketing, andalumni relations.The President and BoardofTrustees recognize the tremendous commitment of time, effort,and resources required to

accomplish the educational aspirations ofthis institution and thank the studentsofSeattle University for theirunderstanding and continued support.

Fromus to you:have abalanced break

What has seven days, 40-ouncers, two-piece bathing suits andone-night stands?

Hopefully not yourentirespring break.While we at The Spectator want nothing more than for you to

have anenjoyable,relaxing time off, wealso want you tobe safe.The scrawny week aptly dubbed a "break" is often filled with

dangers disguised as indulgences. Documentaries from MTV toABChave showncollegeand high school students vacationing intemporal party zones like Cancun or Daytona Beach with onegoal— getting crunk and getting drunk. Not to mention videocameias, flashing (notacamera flash, theother kind),club drugsand leaving the party with some 40-year-olddirtbag whoslippedyou amickey.

Yeah, it sounds extreme, but it's true. And although we maysoundlike yourmother wavingher index finger inyour face,don'ttake our warningsas restrictions.

You'realladults.Do what youwant.We're justencouragingyouto thinkabout whatyoudoandnotto letyourguarddownifyouendup at some wildlyawesome party— wherever it is.

So what makes spring break so much more hedonistic thansummer or winter vacation? Well, for starters thisbreak ishardlyenough time off from school. That means students feel like theyneed to pack as much partying into a compact week as possible.

Also it's springtime. After long nights and cold weather, itactually starts to warm up a bit. Warmer weather means lessclothing and outdoor activities. There's something about niceweather that inspires a need to celebrate life.

And why shouldn't we?At the opposite end of partying too muchduring spring break,

thereisalsothe extremeof working toomuch.If atallpossible,weadviseyou tohavealittlechat with yourbossand talk about alittletime off between March24 and 28. If youspend the whole breakworking,how are you going to last another ten weeks of classwithout some kind of release? Working too much is not onlydraining,butitaffects thequalityofthe workyoudo.Springbreakshould be an opportunity to get refreshed,not overworked.

The life of a student is busy. Consequently, we deserve tocelebrate life

—and sleep in.

Basically, we'regetting atbalance. Life is made upof balance,and this mini-vacation is no different. So if you're gonna party,you'regonnaparty.Justdon't dosomethinginonenight that you'llregret for the restof your life. Andif you're gonna work,you'regonna work. Just don't work somuch that you returnnextquarterdrainedof energybefore you evenget yoursyllabi.

So from your student newspaper, have a safe, exciting, busy,restful and balanced spring break.

Mymother's father was aChris-tian employed in Baghdad. Whenhis employersdiscoveredhe was aChristian,he wasimmediately firedand couldnot find workanywhereelse. This was the last straw afterputting up with over a decade ofIslamicfundamentalismandpoliti-cal unrest. Toescape the situationthe family had to leave Baghdadsecretly, carefully avoiding detec-tion from the government for fear

Everyone around theworld(with theexceptionof a few persistent politi-cians) seems convincedthat a war against Iraq isunwanted and unneeded.Few peopleare willing torepresenttheother half ofthe argument and Ifeelthat it is important that Ishare my uniqueperspec-tive so that it might shedlight on this somewhatobscured and suppressedview of the war.Iam aChristian Arme-

Both my mother and father'sfamilieswereindependently forcedto fleethestrictMuslim-dominatedcountrytosecure their freedom andthe future of their family.

In 1958, army officers in Iraqoverthrew the government,killingKing Faisal and Prince Abdul Ilahand destroyingthe monarchy,theythendeclared Iraqa republic.

Barely a year later my father'sfamily decided they couldnot liveinacountry filled withsuch politi-

that they wouldbe persecuted fur-ther.

My family'shistorywithIraqhasshaped my opinions of the eventstoday.

My grandparents were fortunateto leaveearly in the Baath Party'sreign, and now sympathize withthosestilllivinginIraq.Since then,over fourmillionpeoplehave alsofled IraqoutoffearofHussein.Thepeople of Iraq fear war and areyearning for help tobecomeliber-ated.

We knowHussein's history;his

party rose to power using heavyarms.In 1988he gassedand killedthousandsofhisown citizenswithnerveagents andcaused one of theworst ecological disasters in thehistory of the planet after he leftKuwait.

Even recently Hussein has pub-liclybeheadedmembersofhis ownfamily tostay inpower.

Who's to say he will not repeatsimilar atrocious acts to his en-emies?

SaddamHussein has provenhisdistrustfulness,time andtimeagaintotheworldcommunity throughouthispolitical campaign.

Regardlessof any per-sonal gains the UnitedStates may receive frominvading Iraq, the peopleof Iraq are not strongenough on their own togain liberation withoutsomeform ofexternal as-sistance.

We want to see you on CNN Rev. Jackson

AustinL.Burton

Iwonderedwhy blackleaders seemed sofocusedon totallyunimportant

issues, while they seemed toignore the really critical

problems.

Cc-Managing EditorCan someone tell me whyIkeep

seeing Jesse Jackson onSportscenterl

Twice in the past month, Rev.Jackson has made his presenceknown on ESPN, first to call theNFL'sDetroitLions totask forhir-ing a white head coach, then toannounce he'dbe at the upcomingMasters golf tournamenttoprotestAugusta National Golf Club's re-fusal toadmitfemalemembers. Andthere wouldhave beena thirdtime,butIguess Rev. Jackson was kindenough to letESPN know he wasfine with the San Francisco 49ersand the whitecoach theyhiredbe-fore someone put amicrophone inhis face.

If you're wondering why some-one like Jackson

—one of black

America's strongest links to theCivil Rightsmovement— is socon-cerned withsports, jointhe crowd.

Forthose whomight beunfamil-iar with Rev. Jackson (and howcould you, when he seems to get

himselfonTVevery few weeks?),he is the preacherwhobecame oneof black America's most recogniz-ablefiguresin the1970sand1980s.Jackson even ran for President in1984 and 1988; and although hedidn't come close to winning,hecame closer than any other blackmanhas come before or any blackman not named Colin Powell willevercome.

Butinrecentyears,RevJackson hasn't done anything worthwhile.

Whereas once RevJackson andhisRainbowPUSH Coalition were involved with the importanissues facing minoritiesnow Rev. Jackson seemtobe primarily concernedwithwhateverwillgethimface timeon the tube.

Why does Rev.Jacksoncare so much about theNFLand its lack ofblackhead coaches? Granted,thereissomethingwrongwitha32--teamleaguehavingjustthreeblackhead coaches, especially whensomething like 75 percent of theplayers are black. And, yes, theNFL gotthemselves in thepredica-mentofrequiringevery teamwithajobopeningtointerviewatleastoneminoritycandidate. But the blackassistant coaches who aren't get-tingheadcoachinggigs are farfromstarving.

You know who is starving,though?Thethousands ofminoritykids living in poverty allover thecountry who seem to have beenforgotten.

TedCottrell, the New York Jetsassistant coach whowaspassedupby the 49ers,makes six figuresperyear.Is it such a crime thatheisn'taheadcoach yet?But toRev.Jack-

son,theNFLishis chance toget inthenewspaperor on theair again.

Augusta National is wrong toexcludewomen.Butasweallknow,theyareaprivate clubandhave theright todo so.Either way,whydoesRev. Jackson even care?Ihighlydoubt there's a single member atAugusta

—nor any woman who

might bea member in the future—who makes fewer than six figuresannually.

Idon't wantto make it look likerich people don't have problems,butwhyisRev.Jackson even wast-inghis time with issues like this?Ignore the hypocrisy of everyoneprotesting Augusta while severalall-female countryclubs exist andfocus instead on the importance ofthematter:Is this really some greatinjustice?Isn't itagreaterinjustice

thatblack men, whilemak-ing up less then 10percent)f thecountry

'spopulation,

nuke up 40-some percent)f the prison population?>4ow why doesRev. Jack-;on want to protest at Au-»usta, again? Is it so cru-

ThreeyearsagoIwroteaiimilar article for my highschool newspaper.Iwon-iered why black leadersseemed so focused on to-ally unimportant issues,whiletheyseemed toignorethereallycriticalproblems.

Youhadblack politicians fightingfor slavery reparations when blackpeople had much biggerproblemsthatweren

'1400 yearsold.Youhad

theNAACPcomplainingabouthowmany black sitcoms were on TV,while kids are stuck in a failingschool system that barely glossesover their culture's history.

Rev.Jackson wasalsoin thenewsat the time, getting involved withsomehigh-schoolkids who gotex-

pelled from school after being in-volvedinabrawlat afootball game.Forgetthat the kids werecaught ontape starting the brawl and neverreallyhadastrong legtostandon—it was justanother chance for Rev.Jackson togetonTV.Kindof likewhen he inexplicably popped upafter the recent Chicagonightclubstampede (which,notsurprisingly,was on the front of several majornewspapers).

Of course Jackson isn't alonehere. A lotof the work he does iswithhis organizationorotherorga-nizations.Butit'sRev.JacksonwhoIalwaysendupseeingonTVallthetime,so he(onceagain) falls underthe microscope.

Does Rev. Jackson care that sofew black highschool kids arego-ing tocollege?Doeshecare thatmyhighschool's rivalschoollookslikeacrossbetweenEastsideHigh fromLeanonMeandthe schoolfrom 21Jump Street!Iwould hope so. Because not

only is Rev. Jackson still relevantenough (ifhe wants tobe) toactu-ally make a difference, he's alsoarole model, affecting what our fu-ture leaders willdo when theystepinto his shoes.Ijust hope I'mnotseeing them on ESPN when theyshould beonCNN.

Reutersquoted a vehementpro-warstatement lastWednesday thattook the pleasureof slappingMar-tin Sheen, Susan Sarandon, ScanPerm, RosiePerez,KirnBasinger,Cary Elwes, Tim Robbins, EthanHawke, Samuel L. Jackson, andcountless otheranti-warcelebritiesacross the face.In anopen letter toHollywood's peace advocates,country singer Charlie Danielswrote, "You people are some ofthemost disgustingexamplesofawasteofprotoplasmI'yecverhadthe displeasure to hear about."Daniels issemi-famous for writingthe post 9/11 war cry of a song,"This Ain't No Rag, It's a Flag,"which features such provocativelyrics as "We're gonna hunt youdown / like a maddoghound / andmake youpay forthelivesyoustole/ We're all through talking andmessing around/ and nowit's timeto rockandroll."
