WHAT: The Publicity Center does a lot in the way of design and marketing for student events, so naturally these gurus thought to combine a week's worth of events and put them onto an awesome little handbill. Enter the CWU Hype Street Team, who helps spread the word about campus events by handing out the abovementioned handbills whenever they can! It’s a simple and easy way to get an idea of what is going on around campus!
WHY: Publicity Center staff saw a need to get the word out about events in a more interactive way, and that is where the CWU Hype Street Team was born!
WHO: There are many super people involved with the CWU Hype Street Team! Publicity Center students and staff all work together to inform the campus community of upcoming events.
WHEN/WHERE: In addition to a weekly table in the SURC, the CWU Hype Street Team pops up at campus events to share information and talk-up events that are happening that week. Make sure to keep your eye out for those students wearing the official CWU Hype Street Team badges! They are friendly folk and would love it if you say hi, or even join in on the fun!

Asif Ali
An Evening of Laughs with Asif Ali By Zach Smith Asif Ali became interested in stand-up comedy in middle school when he stumbled across an old recording of Bill Cosby’s standup routine. Ali didn’t know it at the time, but this seemingly insignificant discovery would be his first step toward a career in stand-up comedy. “I thought it was awesome, so I had to find more of this stuff,” Ali said. “I sort of just became obsessed with it.” As Ali got older, his comedy started becoming worth more than just laughs. When his high school drama teacher found out he was doing stand-up at open mic nights around town, Ali was allowed to skip homework by indulging his classmates with comedy each week. Performing in front of his classmates was tough, but Ali said it was still better than homework. After joking his way through high school, Ali was faced with a decision: go to college in his home state of Arizona or move to Chicago, an unfamiliar city with a well-established comedy scene. Much to the chagrin of his parents, he decided to move to Chicago. “‘I don’t want you to be homeless just because you want to tell jokes,’” Ali reminisces what his parents told him. “But once I started making money they were fine.” Soon after moving to Chicago, Ali discovered his natural talent for improvisation. With his stand-up reputation continuing to grow and his acting skills gaining notoriety, Ali jumped at the chance to ditch the Windy City in favor of sunny southern California. “I thought, you’ve got to strike while the iron’s hot,” Ali said. “That was three and a half years ago, and it’s been great.”
4
Ali’s move to Los Angeles sparked his acting career, highlighted by appearances in the hit television shows “NCIS” and “Modern Family” in the past year. Ali said he loves the acting opportunities he has gotten, but stand-up comedy remains his passion. “It all comes back to stand-up for me, that’s my first love,” he said. “There’s something about doing stuff live. Once you do it, you don’t want to stop.” Some of Ali’s infl uences–which he says he hopes to be “an ounce of ” one day–include Cosby, Richard Pryor, Chris Rock, Dave Chappelle and Louis C.K. Ali said even though all of these comedians have different styles, similarities between them do exist, and he tries to bring that to his comedy. “Being able to take something so common and putting your take on it, and making it feel new,” Ali says. “That’s what makes a great comic.” Ali’s goal for the future is simple—continue to do as much stand-up as possible. For the time being, however, the comedian says he is focusing on getting people to know that he exists. “It’s a lot easier with the internet,” Ali said. “But you still have to compete with cat videos, which makes it tough.” Come watch Ali perform Friday, Jan. 11 at 7 p.m. in the Student Union and Recreation Center (SURC) Theatre. Admission is free for CWU students with ID and $5 for general admission. Tickets are available online at www.cwu.edu/tickets or in person at the Wildcat Shop and Welcome Center.

Yakima River Diaries
Artists' Words, Visual Diaries Tribute Yakima River By Katy Rutland
With headwaters in the Cascade Mountains, the Yakima River carves and winds its way across south-central Washington, meeting the Columbia and heading toward the sea. But before joining the larger river, it bends its way past the cities of Ellensburg and Yakima, indelibly changing the

OPR Speaker Series
Mt. Everest Summiteer Highlights OPR Speaker Series By Zach Smith The Outdoor Pursuits and Rentals (OPR) Speaker Series is meant to inspire. Whether it is climbing Mt. Everest or running 100 miles, if there is one thing each of these four speakers have in common, it’s that they prove nothing is impossible. “I hope [attendees] have the ability to envision themselves doing these great things,” said Ryan Hopkins, OPR coordinator. Central alumnus John Stimberis will kick things off with his discussion on "Avalanche Awareness" Thursday, Feb. 7 at 7:30 p.m. in Student Union and Recreation Center (SURC) 137 A&B.
As an avalanche forecaster for the Washington State Department of Transportation, Stimberis will share his extensive knowledge on avalanche safety methods currently being implemented at mountains and ski resorts throughout the Pacific Northwest. This is a must-see presentation for anyone who spends time outside during the winter. The OPR Speaker Series will continue with a presentation by Brock Gavery Thursday, Feb. 21 at 7:30 p.m. in SURC 137 A&B. Gavery is a full-time Seattle civil rights attorney who in his spare time does what he calls the “triple threat,” an incredible achievement
Jon Kedrowski Speaks
Thursday, Feb. 28 7:30 p.m. in SURC Theatre
As a mountaineer, Jon Kedrowski has experienced things most people can only dream of. In 2011, he became the first person to successfully camp on the summit of all 55 of Colorado’s 14,000-foot peaks. He overcame lightning storms, blizzards and even hungry bears throughout the 95 days of his expedition. Kedrowski and Chris Tomer, his partner during the endeavor, later chronicled their story in the book “Sleeping on the Summits: Colorado Fourteener High Bivys."

in physical fitness. Come and hear about how he and fellow friend and adrenaline-junkie Sam Thompson conquered the Rainier and Glacier Peak Triple Threats of biking, climbing and running. The series culminates with an inspiring talk by former CWU professor and renowned mountain climber Dr. Jon Kedrowski Thursday, Feb. 28 at 7:30 p.m. in the SURC Theatre. “We really wanted to target speakers who will inspire our staff, faculty and students,” Hopkins continued. “These are ordinary people doing extraordinary things.”
Kedrowksi’s latest accomplishment was reaching the summit of Mount Everest this past spring, on May 25, 2012. But his journey to the top of the world was not without hardships. On his first attempt, he was within 800 feet of the summit when the weather took an unexpected twist. And just like that, overcrowding and high winds turned the mountain into what Kedrowski described as a “death zone.” Seven climbers died, but that number could have been higher. Kedrowski was able to assist in the rescue attempt of several climbers that day before descending to camp. The unpredictable weather and recent tragedy was not enough to stop Kedrowski, however. Less than a week later, he made it to the summit of Mount Everest. His talk at CWU Feb. 28 will challenge attendees to "Climb Your Own Everest."

u by k at y r B-5? Hit! Ever wanted to reenact a famous naval battle or live the life of a pirate captain? Or maybe you’ve always wanted the opportunity to sail the seven seas searching for treasure. Well, the treasure might be a bit of an exaggeration, but University Recreation may be able to help make those dreams of conquering foes on the open seas a reality. So gather your first mate, second mate and deckhand and become captain for a night at "Canoe Battleship." The Aquatic Center will be the scene of this titanic naval battle as students, faculty and staff teams draw battle lines and plan their attacks. Teams of four will row their boats through the unknown waters of the deep end and racing lanes. “[Students] will try to paddle around and sink the other teams,” said Brent Ranniger, Outdoor Pur-

this roving pirate kayak or risk a very wet fate.
Sorry, no cannons here. Instead, five-gallon buckets will have to do. Whether the four-person teams aggressively toss water into the other kayaks and rafts or defensively bail water out of their own, these are strategies every team will need to consider.
“[Canoe Battleship] is something we’ve never done before,” said Kayla Horning, OPR student coordinator. “It’s different from any other event.”
Balance is key, even when sitting in the boat. One misstep—or mislean, rather—could put the entire team in the water and down to Wellington Jones’ Locker. Or the water thrown by the competition could swamp the boat unless the team takes advantage of the defensive tarp provided for blocking.
“Something way different,” added Ranniger. “Who doesn’t love water, and who doesn’t love canoes?” Paddling and pirating experience is not required, so even if the shallow end is the extent of your sailing adventures, never fear. There’s no kraken in the Aquatic Center.
Too bad other teams won’t be the only concern. An unsinkable kayak will roam the pool as well, tossing water into unsuspecting vessels and showing no loyalty or mercy to any team. Beware of

88.1 The 'Burg Brings Music Closer to Home By Laura Walp Beginning this quarter, students will see a new addition to the roof of the Student Union and Recreation Center (SURC). The campus radio station, 88.1 The ‘Burg, has been working to move its transmission tower to CWU. The ‘Burg has been looking for a new home for their transmission tower since 2003, when the lease agreement for the previous site was nearing its end.
Facilitators of the project included the engineering firm Hatfield and Dawson, CWU Facilities Management, Business Services and Contracts, Sound Engineering, Boyd Broadcast Technical Services, and The 'Burg staff. Operation from the new site will not increase the broadcast coverage, but having the transmission tower within the SURC footprint will make its daily and weekly maintenance much easier. This new location will operate with a new transmitter that is current with industry standards, allowing the station to use the old one as an emergency backup. But don’t fear! Just because they are in the midst of a transition, The ‘Burg will still be playing great music. So tune in your radio at 88.1 FM or stream the station live online at www.881theburg.com.
