Local boy bids for a national seat
Candidate speaks his mind on the environment) alternative power sources
by Turrlc
"For 600 years [the global average
temperature[ was about the same temperatureabout 57 degrees, and just in the past 30 it has
gone up past 58." Like many aware people of
our generation, Sean Rogers is upset about how
badly the environment is being mismanaged. He
has decided to do something about it, and on a
grand scale . Provided he receives 1,430
signatures, he will be on the Sept. 15 ballot for
U.S. Congress.
If he gets the required signatures and gets
on the primary ballot, he must then receive 1%
of the primary vote (approximately 5.000 votes)
and he will be in the running for the general
election on Nov. 3.
He has not yet associated himself with a
political party, but is working on establisahing a
relationship with the Green Party. Originally, he
was planning on being independent, but soon
realized that this is too large an undertaking for
one person. He wanted to work with those more
established and with better connections than one
guy working alone could get. Also, these issues
must become part of an establishment, rather
than disappearing when he leaves office.
He will be running against Brian Baird who,
according to Sean, "talks the right talk. He talks
about the environment, he talks about jobs.
which is nice, but then he goes-turns around and
supports the WTO and the global free trade
pacts, which is goir.g to gut our local economies
by exporting all the jobs to Mexico, Indonesia,
places where you can get 14 cents an hour."

This fear of losing jobs is real. Sean's
understanding of the WTO regulations are that
"[a WTO member] cannot discriminate on a
product based on the way it was made. That
means what's in it. how it was made-like slave
labor, child labor-you can't discriminate."
These regulations forced the U.S. tochange
the clean air act to allow more impurities in our
gasoline, this, of course, leads to further
pollution.
Sean's alternative to the current system of
power management is to establish cities, and
even communities that are autonomous.
Separate from the large nuclear plants and the
large hydroelectric dams, he hopes to establish
local power sources. Solar power and power
generated by wind are two of the most viable
options. In a dimat~like Olympia's, solar power
might not be the best option, but windmills
would.
Sean's hope is that there will be some small
power providers within the city, then plans for
larger facilities on the outskirts. Also, these will
be hooked up to a kind of network where if there
is not a sufficient amount of power being
generated by these sources, we will be able to use
surplus power from other cities in Washington.
As with any change in such a well
established system, there will be a temporary cost
increase. The good news is that, according to
Sean's sources, there "is currently $21 billion
spent every year by the federal government on
fossil fuel subsidies." This money could be
redirected to subsidize the alternative power
sources.
He is also eager about considering

ahernative options for the USQof gasoline.
He feels that "we have about 18-20 years
to cut fossil fuel emissions by about 66%,
and if we do th at, we can stabilize
atmospheric C02 levels ... " This cut could
be achieved byfirst~witching to methanol,
then evoiving to a fuel system that uses
water.
Sean is adamant about cutting down
on waste. The inefficiency of using paper
could be replaced by the use ofindustrial
hemp. This is an option that has always
had a negative stigma attatched to it
because of its cousin, cannabis. But four
times as much paper can be manufactured
from an acre of hemp as compared to an
acre of trees in a similar period of time.
Also, there would be a lot more carbon
intake with hemp than with trees, which
will assist in reducing global warming.
Hemp can provide an additional clothing
source, can provide pape r, and also
supplement our diet by consuming the
hemp seeds. Half of the trees cut down in
this country are used for producing paper-toilet paper, paper towels, credit card
applications, etC.-and Sean feels that this
"... seems a really bad use of resources... we Your
can make oak furniture forever, but we
can't make disposable toilet paper out of trees
forever. So, one way or another, the world's
economy is going to switch to industrial hemp.
America can take the lead, or we can come
kicking and screaming."
Even larger than Sean's campaign is his
desire to just get this information out there. For

people to become aware of and hopefully
incorporate these alternatives in their lives. This
is not a hopeless cause. The current system of
mismanagement of energy sources is not
something that we should resign ourselves to. It
is something for us to become aware of and for
us to acknowledge the alternatives.

Will we have general education requirements?
The question looms as DTF bides their time and postpones vote
by Noah Michel
Admit it kid, you came here because you
didn't have to take calculus, or biology. You
came to Evergreen so you wouldn't have to
take the classes you didn 't want to. Well all
that could change.
At a faculty meeting on May 24,
discussions were held on whether students
should have general requirements. Adeciding
vote was postponed in the interest of further
debate, an informal poll was taken on issues
surrounding the implementation of these
requirements in the curriculum, although
many faculty members chose to abstain from
the voting process, The meeting was peppe red
with disagreements, and much was left
undecided
Last year, the Northwest commission on
colleges, responSible for giving Evergreen its
accreditation, suggested the college expect
more requirements from its students,
especially in the areas of math and science,
With this in mind, the college made an
immediate attempt to construct a plan that
would keep in the spirit of the college, along

with insuring accreditation.
During September of last year, a
Disappearing Task Force, a temporary group
of faculty and students organized to discuss
and outline tentative curriculum changes, was
formed.
The DTF's proposals include: making
core and interdiSciplinary pr.ograms more
divisional in nature, inventing more balanced
programs in the fields of the arts and sciences,
recommending more 12 credit full-time
programs to make room for 4 credit modules
so studen ts could pursue general
requirements, pursuing a larger concentration
on mathematical reason ing and writing
comprehension, and starting programs to
reinforce student interest and responsibility in
designing their own education.
Faculty member Brian Price facilitated
the DTF and led the discussion in the faculty
meeting. He suggested that facu lty examine
how they would facilitate general
requirements in their own programs.
Provost Barbara Smith issued a challenge
to the faculty to begin work in favo r of
requirements. "We can do this really well. And

we need to do it."
The faculty vote began with a strong
agreements toward student opportunities to
work in more cross-curriculum programs,
including the arts and sciences. They also
voted for the DTF's continued exploration
toward student development of well-rounded
curriculums. However, facu lty could come to
little agreement on whether requirements
should be explored or whether writing and
math reasoning programs should be made
more available. During many of the polls on
the issues concerning the DTF's curriculum
suggestions many faculty abstained from
voting.
In the meeting previous to the vote,
faculty member Thad Curtz suggested that
deeper questions be explored, such as if the
faculty was willi ng to accept requirements at
all.
Some faculty believed their jobs were
being attacked because they were going to be
held responsible for teaching their students
certain curriculum, after they had received
years ofgood evaluations about their teaching.
"I don't think anyone (aside from

myself) can verify what my students have
learned," said faculty member Sherry Walton .
Arun Chadra, a member of the DTF,
commented on the oxymoronic language
suggested to change Evergreen's curriculum.
"General Education is a linguistic fiction ," he
said. "Education can never be general."
Thad Curtz pointed out that college
professors were being placed on the same
bureaucratic chopping block as other
professionals, specifically those in the medical
arena. He added that professionals could not
remain autonomous if they were placed under
a microscope such as general requirements.
"When we resort to trust and
professionalism, we are having conversations
about power. Why should I trust anyone in the
medical profession? I don't," retorted Zah ib
Shariff, who argued for faculty standards.
Bryan Price said he believed a solution
will be arrived at in the fall. ·one way or
another."
Further faculty suggestions included
hiring new teachers in the arts and sciences.
or establishing requirement sta ndards for
upper division programs.

DTF and Police SOP in disagreement?
"Officers going on duty must bring, in good co ndition , their firearm, baton, and O.c.
spray and other required equipment." So says the section on mandatory equtpment for duty In
the Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) manual for Police Services.
What the SOP doesn't say is anything about the Partial Arming DTF that convened three
years ago and the recom endations they made. Linda Hoemann was the chair of the DTF and
said recently, 'That kind of stuff isn't covered in the SOP. The SOP isn't what's useful to me to
see in community policing."
The DTF recomended that officers lock their guns in their vehicles, during the day, unless
they were going to be far away from the vehicle and the gun.
"We," Hoemann acknowledges, "didn't determine what far away meant."
Police Services Chief, Steve Huntsberry, agrees. uThe [DTFI recomendations and the major
conflict with the SOP's is not that there's anything different except for the interpetation. It doesn't
define distance:

How would you like to be
ambidextrious for your birthday? You probably won't, but
your child has a chance if she
or he is treated gently at birth.
Around nine years old, most
"Leboyerbabies" studied were
ambidextrious. (janov, 1996)

There will be a public hearing next Wednesday in lib 3500 from 3 p.m. to 4 p.m. to propose
a 28 percent increase in the parking fees to be implemented next fall. This would aUow us to
reconfigure, resurface, re-stripe the lots and relocate any endangered trees. .
.
You may have noticed the displays around campus (CAB, Lab ~ and LI~rary Lobby) wl!h
the drawings of the recommended parking lot plans. From the prevIous articles and letters III
the CP} you probably also know the Parking ExpanSion DTF, made up of students, ~taff, and
faculty has worked hard to reconfigure the existing lots in such a way that the majority of the
trees and habitat are protected. This plan also guarantees zero watershed impact. Other research
has helped us limit our reconfiguration of a lot that would potentially impact salmon habitat.
The increase would go from $75 a year to $96 a year.
The Quarterly Permit would go from $25 per quarter to $32 per quarter.
The Daily Pass would go from $1 per day to $1.25 per day.
Please attend the Public Hearing to hear more about the plans, view the drawings if you
have not had a chance, and discuss the proposed fee increase. Any feedback about the fees or
plans can be e-mailed to freemanw@evergreen.edu.

Funding for this project is provided by the National Institute

This was the reason for forming Barlow Scientific, Inc. As an
individual. Barlow had applied for thirteen grants from different
agencies, but was turned down repeatedly.
'Typically, granting agenc ies want to fund studies of basic
science, not fund people who want to work with methods." Barlow
lamented.
By fOl'lning a small company, undergraduates can participate
in the research. Granting agencie.~ consider undergraduates too
inexperienced to deal with this level of research. but Barlow
disagrees. He involves studen ts through individual COl1lracts,
internships, or by enrollment til "Undergraduate Research in

When told that vivisection (live animal testing) happens at The
Evergreen State College , most students react with astonishment.
However. a small company that leases space from Evergreen
laboratories has been doing so since 1982.
Barlow Scientific, Inc. was formed by Clyde Barlow, an Evergreen
faculty member, over 15 years ago in order to facilitate undergraduate
research. In November the company was studying light, and how you
can use it to look at specific heart conditions. such as heart attacks.
"Mostly. we're interested in where there is a change ofblood now
to the heart if you have a heart attack," Barlow explained.
Basically, Barlow Scientific surgically removes the heart ofa live
rat before creating a heart attack by tying off the coronary artery. Then
they inject nuorescent particles, allowing them to see exactly where
the blood is going in differenl areas of the heart. TIley can distinguish
where the oxygen is. and which areas are being deprived of oxygen.
using this data.
"The type of research we do is fun, because it is biology,
physiology, chemistry, and then we also need to know the biochemistry

and we even syn th esize some of the materials we need to lise,"
Barlow said. "We use rats, but we don't like to advertise it that
much. "
Barlow est im ates that he and his students use
approximately 40 rats a year, which has been slowly declining
over the years as methods improve. Through their research.
the company has invented several instruments. Most notably,
one such instrument has allowed researchers to use smaller
animals, as opposed to dogs and goats, as the University of
Washington currently does.
"With computers, we can look at the data in several
different ways, instead of using another animal." elucidates
Barlow, thus allowing them to use less animals Ihan in years
past.
When applying for their grant. the company had to go
through an "Animal Welfare Certification" with the National
Institute of Health, who fimds the project. This gua rantees
that they have a veterinarian and that their animal facilities
are inspected.
There is also a campus committee. which is comprised

Rethinking
the Search
I am writing in response to the article "In
Sea rch of a More Diverse Women's Resource
Center," by Stephanie Johnso n. In particular the
issue of there being a common clement of
oppression that Johnson proposes we all face
simply by being women. I am a white woman
and I, too, am interested in how the patriarchal
sys tem we live in effects all women, but I am
consc iolls too of how this system is steeped in
white sllpremacist values and thus is going to
affect white women and women of color in
dramatica lly different ways. While Johnson
acknowledges that "diflen.'nt types of oppression
face a diverse community," I think she hugely
und erscores t hat these different typ es of
oppression are the very reason barring any easily
gra nted "successful partnership" betwee n the
two groups , that our structural relationships
within this neo-co lonialist system allow for
white women to benefit from the oppression of
women of color, and that these structural
differences make it impossible for us to relate
to each other simply "as women."
Women of colors' oppression is not just
based on their gender, it is connected to their
race, and it is connected to the colonization,
abuse, and exploitation inflicted by an
imperialistic white patriarchal order onto
communities of color. Within this order, white
women benefit from their relationship to white
men as sisters, daughters, or wives, both
mat erially, by being able to share in the wealth
generated from the exploited resources and
bodies of people of color, and psychologically,
by being of the race that is validated in the
institutions that manufacture culture.
The notion s of what it mean s to be
"feminine," traits of purity, dependency, and
complacency. have been challenged by the white
feminist movement in order to claim our own
autonomy away from the psychological and
material control of white men. Yet these efforts
have failed to recognize how these concepts of
femininity are inherently dependent 011 the
co nst ruction of what it means to not be
feminine. concepts such as being wild. dirty. or
un civi li zed, and that th ese concepts have
histori ca lly and in more covert forms currently,
been relegated to representations of women of
color. White lesbian s hav e challen ged this
m ai n ~tream construction offemininity. as well
as poor and working riass white women who. in
order to survive. have not had the privilege to
sit around and play the role of being weak and
passive. Yet again, all white women benefit in
extre mely varied ways by being members of the
race that structurally dominates society. and by
not challenging the subversion of women of
color and communities of color. white women
co ntinue to maintain and benefit from the
system that allows certain white Illen to hold a
diflerent type of power over all of us.
Because of Johnson's stated interest in
co llaborating on anti-oppression work, I sensed
that it was important to her that white women
and women of color find ways to co nnect and
work together. I write out of similar motivation,
but with a request that white women be
extremely vigilant as to what terms we are
expec tin g thi s connection to occ ur.
Co llabora tion is not a prerequisite in order to
focus in on an ti-oppre ss ion work. antioppression work can begin by white women very
critically and deeply inves tigating why
co llaboration is so difficult at this time based in
th e structura l relationships we have had with
each other both hist orica lly and contempora rily.
-Misha Mayernick

In response to
Stephanie Johnson
Yes, we need input from the community
about this move. We are still accepting feedback.
I believe that this change will help the women
on campus. I do not see it as "fragmenting the
resources," instead I see it as using the resources
we have productively. I disagree with the
statement that this space "already is and always
has been a space for all women."
Having worked as a coordinator here for
the school year I have learned intimately how thb
space is not only unwelcoming tovvomen ofcolor
but has been hurtful through inaction and
appropriation. This pattern is historic.
White women will not be allies to women
of color through half-assed gestures of
commonality because of our sex. As white
women. we need to work on ourselves first with
rour ra cism before any significant coalition
building can be done. Most efforts I have made
to make this space more welcoming to women
of color have not been at all successful because I
realized that I was clueless to what I could
actually offer. The one thing I learned this year
for sure is that the best work that can be done to
build coalition with the WOCC is for white
women to challenge each other to unlearn
racism. I do not feel the WRC is anywhere close
to having much to offer women of color as far as
being allies goes. We need to do our work. To
me that would mean a continuation of the
workshops that happened this year on antioppression. It would also mean that white
students would take responsibility for their
privilege by being engaged in learning about how
it affects those around them.
I am not sure how this will end up, the one
best thing I can leave this job doing is to change
one aspect of an oppressive (to all), stagnant
pattern that has plagued this space since the
start. Rather than pondering what Women of
Color want from this space we can watch ,
dialogue and learn. Why not start coalition
building from this position rather than one that
is already oppressive? It is human nature to fear
change. It is also human nature to hold onto
privilege tightly. I see the move as challenging
those two realities. Every year when the time
comes to exchange spaces I feel dialogues will
have to happen that white women might
otherwise have been able to avoid.
Hopefully in the long run there will not be
the need to switch yearly_ Work for the WRCwili
not end just because we are upstairs. I personally
feel the move will help make the WRC more
active.

Countless times before we have
witnessed (Tianamen Square, Wounded
Knee, Jakarta, Mexico City, etc.) that the
corporations and governments have the
police, the military, the press, and
numerous other resources at their
willing disposal to stop the movement
of the people. It is foolish to even think
of matching their material resources
such ,as guns or money.
What we do have is the people .
Hundreds of millions of people, and
growi ng faster by the day. Un ited , we
must nonviolently confront Ollr
oppressors each and every time they
come at us with their "st ru ctural
adjustments," guns and soldiers. There
are not enough jails to lock us all up. and
there are not enough bullets to lay us
down.
We also have our history. From the
Haitian slave uprisings in the 1800s, the
American labor struggles of the 1930s,
th e Cuban Revolution of the 1950s, to
the student uprisings of the 1960s, we
have much to learn. As Egyptian
feminist Nawal EI Saadawi said, "You
must learn from the past, live in the
present and work towards the future."
We must continue to form the
bonds of solidarity. We must reach out
beyond our own issues and address the
source of all of our grievances: the same
corporate-political system which
oppresses all of us . Clearly, we have
arrived at a point at which there is no
turning back. We can not afford to
"compromise" any more of our basic
rights. We can only move forward, and
we can only do this through our
collective unification on a global scale.
Through
our
own
local
communities, we must create a global
revolution. The responsibility of this
revolution lies with the students. It is
not only our history, it is our destiny.
Wehave the resources, time and ability
to ed ucate and mobilize all peoples of
this country. And , as we hav e see n in
Seattle and D.C., we are not alone.
Alan Ca nfora, one of the student
protesters shot at Kent State, May 4,
1970, believes, "clearly there is a great
new trend of student activism in 2000.
Many of the veterans of our earlier
student movement can contribute effort
and awareness to assist younger
activists of today. " We not only have our
elders to teach us, we have our brothers
and sisters from all walks of life to work
and learn alongSide.
The students of this country and
worldwide are again on the move. We
are the new generation of revolution.
And as American Indian Movement
eld er Madonna Thunder Hawk recently
observed at Evergreen, "When the

I want to say thanks to the folks
who have read and encouraged my

Hooper I S Homily
by Kris Hooper

Well here it is, my last column. Parting is
indeed such sweet sorrow. I have been dreading
writing this column since February because I feel
that it is important for me to write something
eloquenl. Something that you'll always remember.
A homily that has the ability to inspire you. But
alas, I couldn't think ofanything.
I guess it's not in the cosmic cards for me to
be one that inspires, but ifyou do need inspiration
I'll tell you one place to look that will not
disappoint. The wond~rful world of women's
figure skating. In my mind there is one person in
that universe that stands alone above the rest,
Oksana Saiul.
Ms. Baiul and I are only a few days apart ill
age, yet we are worlds apart. She has fame, fortune.
and the admiration of millions. Alii have to show
for my existence is one badass beer bottle
collection. I used to write Oksana letters asking how
she did it and what's her secret. I never got the
response I wanted, just a letter from her publicist
saying that due to the "carnal nature and mildly
threatening undertones" of my lettersifI wrote her
again legal action would en,ue.
I have nothing against Matt Groening, I
rather enjoy "The Simpsons." TIlat episode where
Homer gained weight to get on worker's
compensation made me laugh so hard I coughed
up blood. But if you ask me, Oksana Baiul should
be our graduation speaker. Oksana's life story is
one of intestinal fortitude triumphing over
adversity. In other words, the girl has moxie. Moxie
is what Evergreen students need most in life. After
you graduate you'lI take your social and political
views out into the world with you and have to fight
for them. You'll need all the moxie you can get when
the man is trying to keep you down and break your
will.
Oksana Baiul's will has never been broken,
despite all the trials and tribulations. There was the
economic hardships of living in the war torn
Ukraine. The pressure of having to skate with
everyone wanting her to lose to Nancy Kerrigan in
the 1994 winter Olympics. Oksana, the
personification ofgrace under pressure, rose to the
occasion to walk away with the gold medal. Years
later Oksana took on her worst enemy, herself, in
the full view of the public.
Two years ago, drunk as a Ukrainian skunk.
she crashed her BMW on a Connecticut freeway.
Do you think that was the end of Oksana Baiul or
that she would let her inner demons drag her down
into the gutter of has-beens? Oksana didn't just
walk away from the crash, she rose like a phoenix
from the ashes. Clean and sober she talks with
others about how she was able to beat her drinking
problem. She is an inspiration to us all because
metaphorically speaking haven't we all crashed our
BMW in a drunken stupor on the freeway oflife at
one time or another? If she couldn't inspire our
student body I don't know who could.
Maybe my testimony is fallin~ on deafears.
If you don't believe me you have a chance to see
the poetry in motion that is Oksana Baiul tonight.
Champions on Ice, a touring figure skating show
is coming to the Key Arena at 7:30 p_m. Not only
do you get to see Oksana but other inspirational
skaters like Michelle Kwan and America's
sweetheart (circa 1984,) Dorothy Hamil. as well.
You better believe I'll be there ready to punch. kick
or stab anyone that gets in my way of meeting
Oksana, whether it be a young girl. a security guard,
or even a fellow greener.
I'm not graduating this year so I won't hear
Matt Groening's speech butChampionson Ice will
provide aU the inspiratiolll need to keep my head
above water for yet another year.

BIBLE QUOTES

Christian bashing examined
hy J.IYI1<: KaszYl1ski

"Death to Christians" is scrawled in
black ink across a bathroom stall. Is this an
isolated incident on campus? None of the
Christian students I spoke to thought so.
can't believe EPIC's attempt to
create a blacklist of local bminesses based
on their Christian affiliations" reads
Jennifer Murphy's article in the November
5, 1998 issue of the Cooper Point Journal.
Doreen Roz's article, "Christian Bashing,"
last week echoed the same sentiment. How
is it that a school publication has continued
to be printed even after students pointed
out that it attempts to blacklist based on
religious affiliation and nothing more?
Many students believe that this is only one
part of Evergreen's problem with prejudice
against Christians.
"In seminars, I've heard jokes about
Christians and Christianity, especia lly
Catholicism , that would never have been
said about any other religion or culture:
says Doreen Roz.
Lance Laird, a faculty who teaches
classes on religion, thinks it's because of
Christianity's place in American culture.
"I think Christianity has become so
identified with the dominant culture that
people tend to bash Christianity as part of
their reaction against the dominant
culture."
Travis Echert, a member of Evergreen
Student's for Christ, agrees, "I think some
people really make the connection between
all the evil white people we learned about
with all the Chri stians."
How can there be prejudice against
members of one of th e largest and most well
know religions in America? Perhaps it 's

I

because Christianity isn't as well known as
people believe. One of the largest
contribu tors to the problem of prejudice is
the general ization of Christian identity.
"Many students think they know what
Christianity means but often the y have
minimal knowledge of the basis of
Christianity, not to mention the diversity of
beliefs," says Lance. "Christian bashing is
often the interpretation of Christianity or
one Christian as all Christians, which
doesn 't take into account the wide spectrum
oftheology, history and action."
Doreen agrees. "People like Preacher
Bob or Jesse Helms-sometimes it's because
the people who claim to represent
Christianity are very vocal and out there and
not good representatives of Christianity at
all ."
This generalization of Christians leads
many people to expect all Christians to act
like, or a share beliefs with, the
spokespeop le that they have been
introduced to. And this leads to Christians
who don't share those beliefs being unfairly
pre-judged, and "having their Christian
identity pigeonholed," Lance said.
On campus, this creates even more
problems for students. Doreen worried that
the prejudice she witnessed "kept me from
reaching out on campus more because even
though I consider myself a liberal I felt that
the school was so much so that they didn't
want to hear from someone like me-a
Christian. "
The disrespect for Christianity that
Travis sees leads him to doubt his teacher's
credibility. "If I hear teachers say stuff like
'that's just the Catholics' or 'the first novel
ever writtel~ was the Bible' th en that's going
to lose some credibility with the teachers."

Appearing May 25 at Town Hall

ALAN T. DURNING

-

Lance considers the deeper effects of
prejudice. '700 often students live separate
lives: th ere's their intellectual life in class,
their social life when they go out with their
friends, and their spi ritual life when they
leave their dorm room early Sunday
morning." It is, of course, doubtful that such
a splintering of the main foci of a student's
life is healthy.
,
So what's the answer to the problem?
"If they think they can get rid ofintolerance
with more intolerance, I think they're
wrong," says Travis. Doreen asks students
who deal with Christianity to give it "an
honest evaluation or an unbiased study" but
Lance disagrees. "I would contend that there
is no such thing as an 'unbiased opinion'.
Instead, we should be examining our biases.
Checking our perceptions and saying 'wait
a second, let's analyze that.'" The larger
need is for a' place for students to challenge
their ideas and identities-religious, racial
or other. "I would like to work toward a
space for bringing all of their (the students')
identities and examining their identities
critically. "
Help needs to be everyone's
responsibility, not just those people who
may be displaying prejudice. ·Christians
have to put themselves out there too, ifthey
want to be heard." Says Doreen.
Lance sums up the problem in one
sentence: "Any time there's a group of
people who are afraid to mention who they
are, we have a problem."
But is this problem isolated to
Christians on campus? Or is there an even
la rger issue that is merely making itself
known through this prejudice? Lance thinks
so. "What I think is really important is to
expand this conversation beyond Christians
because it's not really about them." What it
is about is views about religious people in
general. "Religious people in general are
somehow
viewed as being an tiintellectual-they're not rational, they can't
have a rational conversation without trying
to convert somebody."
Do the views expressed toward
Christians and Christianity on campus need
to be examined? Each of the people I
interviewed think so, but ultimately, it is up
to the students and faculty themselves to
decide if they want to analyze their views. I,
however, encourage students to examine
t heir reasons and know led ge of both
Christians and other religious peoples.
Acceptance of religious peoples and ideas is
a necessary step to a true open mind, as well
as to a future of equality.

Think you know whot the Bible's all
about? All you've heard is hellfire and
damnation? Check out these underused
quotesl
(all quotes from the New Revised Standard 'krsion)
On immigrations/aliens:
"When an alien resides with you in your land,
you shall not oppress the alien. The alien who resides
with you shall be to you as the citizen among you; you
shall love the alien as youneif. fur you were aliens in
the land of Egypt" -Leviticus 19:33-34
On judgment and money:
"You shall not render an unjust judgement; you
shall not be partial to the poor or dtfu- to the great
with justice you shall judgeyourneighbor." -Leviticus
19:15
On ownership of the land:
"The land should not be sold in perpetuity, fur
the land is mine; with meyouarebutaliensand tenants.
Throughout the land you hold, you shall provide fur
the redemption oftile land." -Leviticus 25:23-24
(ThisisaquorefromseveraipagestalkingaboutJubilee,
a huge celebration every 50 years in which, among
other things, debts arecanceled and people I1'JO'Ye back
totheirfumiliesandancestrallands. ThereisaOuistian
group today who is calling for a modem Jubilee to
canceI the debts ofthird world countries.)
On profit reaped by greed:
lreasures gained by wickedness do not profit,
but righteownessdeliwrsIiomdeath."-i>roYerbslO:2
On govemment and the people:
"The glory of a king is a multitude of people;
without people a prince is ruined." --Proverbs 14:28
On foolish people:
"A fool takes no pleasure in understanding. but
only in expressing personal opinion."
-Proverbs18:2
On sexuolity ana lOVe:
"let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth!
f'Or your love is better than wine." -SOng ofSongs 1:2
"As an apple tree among the trees of the wood,
so is my belovedamongyoungmen. Withgreatdelight
Isatin his shadow, and his fruit was sweet tomy taste."
-Song ofSongs 2:3
"Set me as aseal upon YOllr heart, a.~ asealllpon
your arm; for love is strong as death and passion fierce
as the grave.lt~ tlashesare flashesoffire, a raging flame.
Many waters cannot quench love neither can floods
drown it. If one offered for love all the wealth of his
house it would be utterly scorned" -&JngclSongs8:6-7
And here's one Pastor Bob or preacher
Jim or whatever his name is doesn't seem
to apply to his life and "outreach":
"Do not judge, so that you may not be judged.
For with the judgement you make you will be judged,
and the measure you give will be the measure YOll get.
Why do you see the speck in your neighbors eye, but
do not notice the log in your own eye? Or how can you
saytoyourneighbor, 'Let me takethespeck outofyour
eye: while the log is in your own eye? You hypocrite,
first take the log out ofyour own eye, and then you will
see clearly enough to take the speck out of your
nei lbor'seye." Matthew 7:1-5
