By Virginia Long U : It’s the start of another semester and you're already feeling the stress knot in your back from the assignments and midterms that are upon you. It’s time to relax. Counseling and Psychological Services has a relaxation room for students to retreat to in times of stress. The Alumni class of 1980 donated ap- proximately $1,000 to Counseling and Psychological Services for the room in the 1990-91 year to commemorate their graduation. The department decided the money would be put-toward the stress/relax- ation room. It opened last year but was not highly publicized. “We wanted to have more of a self- help component to Psychological Ser- vices because funding has been cut for our staff hours,” said Helene Barney, who is the wellness center coordinator at Counseling and Psychological Services. “At this. point we have four full-time psychological staff members and two part-time counseling staff. That’s a dra- matic reduction from just three years a STnerooents furnished with audio tapes, books and pamphlets for students to use - as resources. It also has a bed and:a recliner for students to put their feet up. “Everyone has to have some stress to live and enjoy life, but you need to have a balance of different kinds of stress in order to allow yourself to feel. on top of things,” said Barney. “We re vaseiag compete the tape selection,” said The audio tapes are so the user can get a description of what is on them. For example, some are for relaxation a d test-taking techniques and othersinclude sounds of the rain forest or loon calls. The books include topics on stress and time management. There are also exer- cises ina workbook to deal with stresson a daily basis. Inorder to benefit from theaudio tapes, a student should listen to the tapes at least once or twice a day and Barney said that she would make tapes for those stu- dents interestedin a particular one. “Tlike to introduce it (relaxation room). to them so I can explain what's avail- able,” said Barney while adding that stu- - “ dents can make an appointment to use the room anytime after that. Counseling services is working on cre- ating a link between the human perfor- mance lab in Founders Hall and the re- laxation room which is located on the second floor of the Student Health Cen- ter. Barney is working with Denise Herrle, an exercise science senior, and Sue MacConnie, assistant professor and ex- ercise physiologist, to coordinate linking _ the relaxation room to the human perfor- mance lab. “The human performance lab can doa lot of things that indicate when some- body isphysically stressed,” said Barney.

As the committee reconvenes for the fall semester, the 16 members make plans for the future, despite recurring financial problems and scheduling difficulties. “Weare building awareness and sensi- tivity,” Carlton said. “Weare building an understanding of the disease.” The committee was created in 1986 when the California State University Chancellor’s Office saw a need to increase Wednesday, Oct. 13, 1993 Committee heightens awareness of AIDS awareness, reduce fears nd dispel myths cori AIDS. To reach this , a team of was formed by the Chancellor’s Office. Edward “Buzz” Webb, HSU’s Vice Presi- dent of Student Affairs, was a part of the committee. After a series of meetings, the commit- tee d the CSU Policy and Guidelines. The policy mandates that every CSU campus create a committee to carry out the guidelines. Besides promoting AIDS education and awareness, the guidelines ensure that stu- dentsand staffemployees whohave tested positive for HIV are protected against discrimination. Shortly after the guidelines were estab- lished, HSU’s Campus AIDS Policy Com- mittee was formed in accordance with the state-wide policies. The committee consisted of volunteer faculty, students, and staff members of Student Health Services. “We had two main goals,” said Webb, who headed the committee. “We wanted to deal with discrimination and to edu- cate.” To do this, the committee developed a series of policies for HSU, as well as circu- lating an educational brochure. In the seven years the committee has existed, an AIDS discrimination case has not been brought to the panel's attention. "In 1991, Webb stepped down as chair- man of the committee. He was Wena by Larry Frisch, who is the Medical Chief of Staff for Student Health Services. “That was an active year,” Frisch said. Among the committee’s activities was redesigning their educational brochure. But by 1992 the committee had come to a stand-still. “There was no funding for this com- mittee,” Frisch said. As a result, a secre- tary could not be hired to take care of the committee’s clerical functions. When committee members returned to HSU for the fall semester, they realized their conditions had changed. Besides operating under a reformed CSU AIDS Policy and Guidelines, Stu- dent Health Services has provided the committee witha staff member to coordi- nate meetings. The committee is also beginning the school year with new goals. To continue AIDS education for the HSU community, the committee is imple- menting a telephone system in which callers can receive information about AIDS and other Sexually Transmitted Diseases. “We wanted to design something use- ful for the campus,” Frisch said. “We want callers to ask questions and have a knowledgeable response.” Beside providing information, the tele- phone system will also contain personal stories by students who have experienced STDs. “We are in the final processes (of de- signing the program),” Frisch said. The committee’s goal is to have the system operating by the spring semester. But money continues to be a problem. A $900 grant the committee received from HSU has already been spent on equipment for the telephone “(In the future), money will be needed for advertising the system,” Frisch said. Webb said the committee continues to have financial difficulties because “there is no pee eo a It is all part of the budget cutbacks.” The committee is currently looking to private organizations that would be will- ing to fund AIDS education and aware- ness programs. While scheduling difficulties and fi- nancial restraints continue to be a prob- lem, committee members remain dedi- cated to the committee’s goals. “This population is most susceptibleto _ the virus,” said committee member Karen Carlton. “I have four young adults in my life. And I love my students. They’re my chil- dren, too.

He said he would speak to the trustees on issues that “pertain to the sur- vival of the Master Plan.” “T've realized that since the trustees won't be persuaded by my appeal, then my focus will beto people at home who watch the news,” he said.

A recent increase in the stu- dent health fee did not effect Psychological Services’ budget. Counseling is funded by the gov- ernment, not by the Student Health Center. Since 1990-91, ological services has lost about five staff positions. “This leaves us with no one to offer individual services,” said Barbara Wallace, co-director of psychological services. She said- due to the loss of those positions, the remaining four staff members’ goals are “to do intense assessment with folks, to take a little extra time with them, and tocome up with as many options as we can. “Hopefully we can get them connected io semciaalens in the community if they need some personal counseling.” eee said before major bu cuts, ological ser- viene ofmed ealividend coun- seling, couples counseling, and a variety of workshops. These include assertiveness training and time and stress manage- ment. “We can’t offer those work- shops (which were the most persis programs) anymore use we don’t have the time for it,” she said. David McMurray, director of psychological services said that although there is no law that requires all colleges to offer counseling and psychological services to students, there is a mandate out the Cali- fornia State University system that requires the presence of these services on campus. He said the extent of counsel- ing services differs from cam- to cam “Atone point we (psychologi- cal services) were seeing 18 per- cent of the student body — that’s a lot of students,” Wallace said. She said more than 1,000 stu- dents were coming in for vari- ous reasons including relation- ship difficulties, loneliness, con- fusion, stress, self-confidence, communications, sexual harass- ment ems, and depression, which Wallace said is the num- ber one concern for students on campus. “Even though we can’t offer individual services anymore, we do have a relaxation and stress reduction room set up for stu- dents,” Wallace said. This room can be used any time during ar business hours. Wallace said that recovery of the budget will allow psycho- logical services to give services back to students but also that “if counseling is a priority to stu- . dents, they canalso register some displeasure about the fact that these services have been cut. “It’s one of the few areas any- more where you can get some- thing for not having to pay for it,” she said. Wallace said counselors in the community charge $50 to $75 per hour on the average “People who ae going to hurt | most are students who have no money.

Alan Leftridge, a professor of teacher preparation at HSU, is co-director of the project, which he said will “heighten aware- ness among school children as well as the population regarding the hazard of toxic waste.” Leftridge said the grant will be used to create a curriculum “program for fourth through twelfth graders in schools in Del Norte,.

Grace Nichols,a student work- ing toward her teaching creden- tial at HSU, said that althou the money from this particular grant won't be used for any col- lege curriculum, the meetings could be a first step. “What I was thinking is that having people working on this might spark a movement to ask for curricular reform. But that has to come from the students,” Nichols said. “It’s going to hap- pen when students and profes- sors say ‘This is what needs to happen’ — but not with this ant.” Nichols said she originally came to the meeting because it had been offered asa course and thatshe hadn’t realized that there had been a grant given to the school to work on the problems ¢ Futon Covers. ¢ Bedsheets * T-Shirts $15 CALL FOR CATALOG - 826-7571 OPEN - Tues. - Sat.

By John Coxtord LUMBERJACKS!ArF —~—~—~——”— A Eureka-based anti-tobacco coalition striving for a “smoke- free HumboldtCounty” will meet Friday at Arcata’s Plaza Grill to discuss the latest pean a and programs, including smo free Policie licies and ordinances. The event is sponsored by the Tobacco Education Network, a branch of the Tobacco Education Programatthe HumboldtCounty Health Department in Eureka. The open meeting will feature a lecture on “community coali- tion-building”by Jerry Endres, a community organizer atStanford University’s Health Promotion Research Center. _ The meeting is a community workshop d to “bring to- weeds whose com- mon goal is a smoke-free envi- ronment,” Endres said in a tele- phone interview from his home in Santa Cruz. o of smoking.

Smoking is allowed in up to 50 percent of contiguous seating space of restaurants, and is al- lowed in bars. - ' In Arcata there are 18 smoke- free restaurants, five of which have bars: Plaza Grill and Abruzzi, both in the Jacoby Store- house, American Deli, Casa de Que Pasaand Chelsea Lounge, in the Hotel Arcata. . Arcata’s non-smoking ordi- nance was Dec. 18, 1985, .and is known as a “first-genera- tion” ordinance; it was the first statute limiting smoking in the city. Enders said the network will discuss new ordinances, but doubts it will produce any con- crete plan at this stage. Echoing the tenet of most non-smoking activists, he would ultimately like to see smoking banned in all places where non-smokers could be affected. “If smokers want to smoke, they’re going to have to do it in their own homes,” he said. Lin Glen, coordinator of the Humboldt County Health —- ee Department's Tobacco Education Sadeotisiien similar opinion. rying to separate. smokers and non-smokers in aroom is like trying to swim in the non-chlori- nated part of the pool,” she said.

Broken down by gender, 25.4 percent of males 18 and older are smokers, as are 21.9 percent of females in the same age group. Abdut 15 percent of males and females between ages 12 and 17 are smokers, sta- tistics show. . “Old Joe the camel has been very suc- cessful,” Glen said, referring to the Camel cigarette advertisements which feature a cartoon camel. The coalition has repeat- edly urged the company to stop the ad campaign, saying it targets children. The Tobacco Education Program is funded by taxrevenue generated by Propo- sition 99 (Nov. 1988), also known as the Tobacco Tax and Health Protection Act. The legislation established a surtax on cigarettes and other tobacco products; the tax generated about $1.5 billion through 1991. Of this revenue, 70 percent was allo- cated to health care costs, 20 percent went toward health education, and the remain- ing funds went to perinatal care and other purposes. Glen said the Legislature has chosen every three years to “rehash and reautho- rize” the placement of tax-generated funds. The three-year period “sunsets” inJune, at which time the Legislature will reallocate funds to.those programs it deems effec- tive. Glen is confident the network will con- tinue to be funded. “The State Department of Health Services named us one of the most active coalitions in the state,” she said. There are about 15 people who attend the regularnetworkmeetingsand approxi- mately 50 more on the network mailing list. Meetings take place on the third Thurs- day of each month, from noon to 1:30 p.m., at the American Cancer Society in Eureka. ; Friday’s meeting, titled “TEN Things We Can Do Together to Create a Smoke- Free Humboldt County,” begins at 9 a.m after a half-hour registration period and concludes at 2:35 p.m. More information is available at 441-5632.

Burrows said the rally began as a pro- test. “We thought it was t the law — that’s how feared” oe said. Arcata has no ordinance banning ~ lic nudity unless it includes “lewd ior which is sexual in nature,” Arcata City Attorney Nancy Diamond said. Citizens in favor of the ordinance called the behavior lewd and offensive. “Our bodies are beautiful things,” said Activists ask city to support public toplessness Melanie Fraser of Manila. “This has noth- to do with sexuality.

Arcata passed anon-smoking ordinance in 1985, which pro- hibits smoking in restaurants, except in up to 50 percent of contiguous seating. As for smok- ing in bars, there are no restric- tions in Humboldt County. Following the non-smoking trend, the city of San Luis Obispo passed an ordinance in 1990 pro- hibiting smoking in public bars, whocircu- lated petitions to have their es- tablishments exempted. The ordinance was approved 4-1, with the mayor, who is a former smoker, dissenting be- cause of the restriction on bars.

It is hard to determine whether thesmoking law is the only cause for the drop in business though, he said. Statewlde Legislation aimed at creating a statewide restriction on smok- ing in public has been unable to houses. Health educator Martha Johnson said disagreement over restrictions on restaurants and barsis the cause of delay in pass- ing a statewide law. She said smoking restrictions on such es- tablishments is considered by health officialsas “the finalfron- — tier.” Two bills await approval to become the state’s most strin- gent law against smoking. AB 13, written by Terry Friedman, D-Encino, has been amended to allow for smoking in bars. AB 996, written by Curtis Tucker, D-Ingelwood, has been sent back and forth between houses since March 1, also al- lows for some exemptions in res- taurants and bars. Both bills, if passed, allow for cities to pass stricter ordinances. Tenstates have smoking restric- tion laws that supersede local or- dinances: Florida, Hlinois, Iowa, Nevada, New Jersey, North Da- kota, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina and Virginia. Alibi bartender Dave Clark said the entire staff wants the establishment to “remain a smoking bar as long as possible.” Toby and Jack’s bartender Valerie Graham said that if her customers cuouldn’t smoke, it would definitely have an effect on business. The four female bartenders at Toby and Jacks areall.non-smok- ers, but Graham said the smoke doesn’t bother her. She said that if the smoke bothers other non- smokers, they can go to non- smoking bars in Arcata, such as Plaza Grill. “It’s their option,” she said. Phil Sessions, maintenance manager at Marino’s Club in Arcata, installed a new ventila- tion system about three weeks ago to help suck the smoke out. “We try to do what we can for (non-smokers),” he said. But, “most people who come in here are smokers.” The Humboldt Brewery re- modeled recently, making the dining and bar area smoke-free with a back room for smoking customers, Previously, the din- ing and bar areas were separate, with smoking allowed in the room with the bar. General Manager Howard Kassorla said there has been no noticeable effect on business since the change. “The ‘60s were the era of the dark, dingy bar,” he said. But the ‘90s are the era of naturally lit, smoke-free bars.

Itis important to get rid of the grafitti as soon as it appears to dissuade more grafitti, accord- ing to the directors of Eureka’s Main Street program. “You've got to paint it out within 24 hours; it reduces the incentive to do it if you are vigi- lant about it,” said Scott Brown, assistant director of the pro- gram. “Grafitti is usually a political message and what you end up with is a dialogue,” he said. Although grafitti is appear- ing around Arcata, whether it is on the walls under the foot- bridge, ona Larry’s supermar- ket wall or on the Plaza, Mel Brown said Arcata does not have a problem compared to larger cities. People are sometimes in- - credulous that there is grafitti at all. They don’t like to think that it can happen in a small town like Arcata, he said. “We don’t have a grafitti roblem, but grafitti is a prob- em,” Mel Brown said.

Pete Wilson’s signature. Both bills were forged by As- semblywoman Barbara Lee, D- Oakland. If signed by the gover- nor,-AB 1296 will create the Alameda County Hate Violence Task Force, which a press re- lease from Lee’s office stated would “be directed to develop a model program that can be used by diverse communities to pre- vent hate violence and violent responses to suspected hate crimes.” The second bill, the Califor- nia Schools Hate Violence Re- duction Act of 1994, will “re- quire the State Board of Educa- tion, at the Tae of the Super- intendent of Public Instruction, toadopt policies and guidelines” to stop hate-crimes, stated the release. The AB 1299 bill revises state curriculum guidelines so t ach- erscan teach pupilsabout demo- cratic values, equality and hu- man dignity in an attempt to prevent bigotry on campuses. McKinleyville High School Principal Brian Stephens said in the three years he hasbeen prin- cipal, there has been only one incident of a verbal dispute be- tween a Native American and a Caucasian student that was a “hate-incident.” About the punishment of hate-crime under the bills, Stephens drew a parallel to re- cent anti-gang legislation. _ “Mr. Wilson said you could outlaw any type of gang cloth- ing,” Siiaiioi: Said. Butheadded that McKinleyville High has taken no such action since it doesn’t have a gang problem. He said students of diverse backgrounds work well together at the high school. The principal said ethnically the students are white and Na- tive American with 2 percent of other ethnic backgrounds. As for the education aspect of the new bills, Stephens said the high school already teaches, “in the social science framework, the recent history of the 20th cen- tury and the Civil Rights mov: ment.” Both bills aren’t the first of their kind. In the last assembly session, Lee introduced AB , a hate- crime bill similar to recently pro- legislation, but Gov. Wil- son vetoed the bill. Gov. Wilson stated in a release last ber, “While the bill (AB 2755) oe that the committee will be privately funded and advisory in nature, I am overly concerned that the charge of the committeeisoverly broad and duplicative of severa functions that are the responsi- bility of the State Board of Edu- cation, as well as the Depart- ment of Education.” Crosses to bear Most recent hate crime reported occurred two years ago in Manila @ Humboldt County’s low incidence of hate crime could be attributed to fear of retribution from offenders. By Jennifer Dwinell LUMBERJACK STAFF Only one hate crime incident has been reported in Humboldt County in the past three years. The incident occured in 1991, and was . one of only five hate crimes reported in California that year. The definition of a hate crime used by Humboldt County law enforcement agencies is any crime committed againsta person because of the person’s race, color, religion, ancestry, national origin, disability, gender, or sexual ori- entation. Dennis DeCarli and Gary Philp, two lieutenants of the Humboldt County Sheriff's Department, said that the last hate crime reported was a cross burning in Manila on September 13, 1991. The act was directed against Ernest and Liana Foster, an interracial couple, by their neighbors, two juveniles and Jonathan Branson. Terry Farmer, the Humboldt County District Attorney, said the two juveniles “have been resolved” of the crime. Mike Mock, Jonathon Branson’s attor- ney, said the resolution was that the two juveniles were convicted for the cross burning. Jonathon Branson is being tried for the initial instigation of the cross burning. His case was supposed to go to trial Oct. 4, but he failed to show up. “He (Branson) will either come in with an excuse or he’ll get picked up (on the warrant that was issued),” Mock said. “At that time we will reset (the trial).” Branson was the alleged instigator of the crime. However, he did not partici- pate in the burning, according to Mock. Mock said that Branson's case is not about the Ku Klux Klan and wearing sheets, it’s about “trying to punish people about what they think.” Branson and the two juveniles were having.a party next door to the Fosters when they decided “to play a joke on their neighbors,” Mock said. Branson allegedly with the twojuveniles started “the joke” by setting a bag of burn- ing feces on the Foster’s porch. After it was ex- tinguished,afew more suggestions were Terry Farmer passed around. One person suggested or- dering oon for the Fosters and Branson allegedly suggested the cross burning. When Branson does go to trial, Mock will make a motion that the statute Branson is being charged with is uncon- stitutional.

Those persons convicted are required toattend racial or ethnic sensitivity train- ing, if available, as a condition of proba- tion under penal code 422.95. Ned Seely, a supervisory probation officer at the Sheriff's Department, said thata racial or ethnic sensitivity training coarse is not available in Humboldt County due te lack of funding. Humboldt certainly does “not have the numbers to justify such a program,” Seely said.

We're Cooperative... What is a co-op? A co-op is a business that is owned and controlled by the people who use it. A co-op's purpose is to fill the needs of its members. You're not just another customer at a co-op, you're a member, an owner. Co-ops are of their members. A co-op is a community based business that is democratically controlled. How the Co-op North Coast Cooperative, inc. (the Arcata and Eureka Co-ops) began as a “buying club”. In 1973, a group of HSU students - tired of paying high prices for poor quality foods in supermarkets - banded together to buy staples like organic flour, rice and beans in bulk direct from suppliers. They split the " | cost and divided the food. This led to pooling their resources and renting a storefront in Arcata. As others became members by investing in the little store, the Co-op was born. The Co-op has grown through many changes over the past 20 years, but members today still support the same ideals on which the Co-op was founded: © Support our local economy by focusing on locally grown and produced foo s. © Promoting a clean world and good health through organic farming. © Reduce waste by providing foods in bulk. © Provide nutritional Join Us... and become a part of the cooperative spirit! Naturally. — information for consumers. ae receives By Teri Carnicelli COMMUNITY EDITOR Withlittlemorethan two weeks left in its fundraising drive, the Arcata Community Recycling Center is well on its way to rais- ing the $585,000 needed to ex- d into new territories. Wesley Chesbro, vice-chair of the California Integrated Waste Management Board, presented a low-interest loan for $285,000 to the ACRC Wednesday. Also present at Wednesday’s ceremony were Assemblyman Dan Hauser, D-Arcata, and Sen. Mike Thompson, D-Vallejo. Hauser has been recycling at the ACRC since it opened more than 20 years ago. “(The loan) means that this re- gion can compete with ... other urbanareas in the recycled mate- rials market,” said Chesbro, who was one of the founding fathers of the ACRC as well as a former Arcata city councilman and county supervisor. “I predict recycling is going to become a major employer,” he said. The money will be used in part toassist inincreasing the ACRC’s recycling capacity from2,460 tons of waste per year to 5,700 tons. Money raised from the fund center 285,000 drive, which be t. 13, will also be used to vnc an adja- cent lot at Ninth and N streets for a new building site, as well as the purchase of new equipment. “We're more than half way there,” said Michele Mckeegen, co-chair of the fund drive. “I’m really encouraged. People have been very generous.” Some of the generous include Mad River Hospital, which M n-said donated $5,000, and at least 20 people who each donated $1,000 or more. ee ee ee funds raised in the community so far is $38,880, more than half way to the $70,000 goal. McKeegen said the ACRC has also received $100,000 in govern- mentand foundation grants, only $58,000 short of its goal. The ACRC had planned on ap- . plying for a local loan for $7 attheconclusionofthefund drive to supplement the money it will raise in the fund drive. However, M said it is now looks as if the center may overshoot the goal, based on ad- ditional grants and donations, eliminating the need for the loan. Certainly the presentation of the $285,000 from the CIWMB hasrelieved much of the financial burden, as well as many minds. It’s worth joining!

It has really isolated me from my community.” She added that if you havea friend that has CFS the best way you can help them is to believe they are sick and help them the time. Treatments include dietary y vitamin B-12 shots, IV. gamaglobin and anti-depressants. Treatment is made more difficult by the fact that many CFS patients have a high sensitivity to many drugs. “Many CFS patients can only take 1/4 to 1/2 the normal dosage,” Fukuda said. Some can’t take some at all. “One anti-depressant they gave me cause a sudden massive rise in my blood pressure,” Wachs said. “An ambulance had to take me to the hospital.” Anti- de ts are used to help treat sleep disorders that come with CFS. One of the key factors in treating this disease is rest. “I've had to learn to prioritize my en- ould hold key to CFS puzzle ergy use,” Wachs said. “It’s hard. I can’t do the things I want to do.

If you can’t afford that, then invest in the next best thing — the music of Tibetan Buddhists. In “Sacred Ceremonies 2: Tantric Hymns and Music of Ti- betan Buddhism,” the monks of the Dip Tse Chok Ling Monas- tery in Dharamsala, India, have provided a distinctive, original and diverse selection of Tibetan ritual music. The album’s 10 tracks contain several differenttypes of ceremo- nies, including “Hymns and music for inviting deities and Dharma protectors” and “Ema- nations of Buddha.” On these tracks, the monks blend their unique instrumenta- tion, which ranges from 12-foot metal trumpets called dung chen to Tibetan oboes called gya ling. They include a wide variety of percussion, with their ability to chant a three-tone chord with one voice. The result is enchant- ing. One track features a kang ling, an instrument made from a hu- man thigh bone. Its soft and delicate sound seems to float from the stereo. In contrast, the deep, almost gut- tural sound of the dung chen on several tracks returns music back to its primal roots. Another notable track is the al- bum-opening “Sounds of the conch shell for remembering death.” Though just over one minute in length, the track is a fully satisfying piece of ritual music. The monks first album, 1990s “Sacred Ceremonies: Ritual Mu- sic of Tibetan Buddhism,” intro- duced their music to the West. “I tend to just turn up at places, and that’s what I did in Dharamsala,” said David Par- sons, New Zealand composer and co-producer of both albums, in the liner notes for “Sacred Ceremonies 2.” “I was really wanting to learn something about Tibetan ritual music for an album I was work- ing on at the time and I was hop- ing to get some recordings of their big trumpets and other in- struments to sample and mix with my own music.” Parsons wandered into the Dip Tse Chok Ling Monastery where he was received with open arms by the 47 monks and students that resided within. He asked if he could sit in and record a few ceremonies and the monks replied, “Treat the mon- astery as your own and do any- thing you like.” Parsons returned the favor by offering to record an album for them. The result was the first “Sacred Ceremonies” album. Royalties from that album have financed the building of a new road into the monastery. Parsons returned to Dharamsala a ye of years later as part of a documentary film crew. “We were there to tape an in- terview with the Dalai Lamaand interview some nuns who had recently escaped to Dharamsala after being tortured by the Chi- nese,” Parsons said. “While we were filming, the monks told us they wanted to make another album. We just wentdown tothe monastery and recorded ‘Sacred Ceremonies 2’ in a couple of hours.” Parsons was s that the monks, who had to have record- ing techniques explained during the first session, set up the equip- ment completely on their own and recorded the album in one afternoon. The first album took three months to record. “Some of them could omens | et jobs as recordin moma Sap came to the Uni States,” Parsons said. “The music has a very power- - ful effect on me ... I could sit for long periods of time each day and listen, whereassome foreign- ers would come into the temple and walkright out again because they get bored. “I felt at peace, like I was in the right place, so it wasn’t neces- sary to study the language or go in depth into the exact content of the ceremonies. It’s just nice to be when I'm listening to the music, and I’m glad that through ‘Sacred Ceremonies 2,’ I can con- tinue to share the experience with others as well.” ‘Mrs. California’ — ‘50s meet ‘90s By John Harrah Nostalgia, subtle social com- mentary and a good smirk or two await Arcata playgoers who at- tend “Mrs. California,” the latest production at the Pacific ArtCen- ter Theatre. — The subject matter sounds in- herently boring: consumerism, a “woman’s place” and herdomes- tic skills in the old tradition of “Leave it to Beaver.” ‘ ~~ “Mrs. California” some- ow does a great job of expos ‘the facade i. cesses crowd.

By Ryan Dunne LUMBERJACK STAFF _ The Lumberjacks, who boast the conference’s lead- ing defense, will host San Francisco State, who leads the conference in scoring, in Saturday’s homecoming e. wor off a 20-10 victory over Azusa Pacific, the Lumberjacks’ defense is ranked first in the conference in both passing and scoring. ‘ tie dced isi efense en up only 102.8 s each week, but after last week’s effort he was particu- larly impressed. “The defense played extremely well against Azusa Pacific,” Whitmire said. “They gave us the breaks we needed.” In the win over Azusa Pacific, senior linebacker Tim Wadholm stood out as he forced a fumble, had an interception, and led the team with 15 tackles. Because of this outstanding achievement, Wadholm was awarded the NCAC Defensive Player of the Week. “Tim had a great game,” Whitmire said. “His inter- ception came at a key moment and he was in ona lot of plays.” Wadholm is just one piece of an HSU defense that is loaded with talented athletes. : Senior defensive end Jarrod Spaulding leads the team with eight back and, along with senior defensive tackle Mike Rigby, creates an impos- ing wall on the left side for opposing rushers. “Teams that primarily run will have problemsagainst us,” Rigby said. Those problems have forced Lumberjack opponents to put the ball into the air against a very competent core of pass defenders. The secondary consists of many veteran players, including senior strong safety Montell Allen. Allen, anAll-Conference Honorable Mention last year, iscurrently second on the team in tackles with 41. His seven pass breakups share the lead with senior See Defense, page 31 Strong safety Montell Alien celebrates a tackle with teammates James Holland, 37, and Jon Buxton,95.
