World Trade Organization - What the heck is it?
Orthopedic surgeon Thomas Helpenstell, a
MD at Memorial Clinic, is speaking at a public
forum at the Worthington Conference Center,
located on the Saint Martin's College campus fur
the Providence 1999 Lecture Series. He will be
discussing how skiing affects the knees and
techniques which prevent knee-related injuries on
Nov. 2, from 7-8:30 p.m. To register call NursePWS
at 493-4111.
KAOS-FM Olympia, community radio station
and Pacifica network affiliate, is caught in the midst
of what Michael Huntsburger, KAOS station
manager, calls "a Pacifica station management
disaster/debacle. "
The debacle hinges on first amendment rights.
Since the foundation's conception, reporters have not
been allowed to speak on-air about internal issues.
In response to Pacifica's management, 15
affiliates are boycotting the network by removing its
programs from their lineup Oct.27, and replacing it
with a Media Alliance program about Pacifica's crisis.
They have asked KAOS to participate.
''This puts KAOS in a very difficult spot ...
Taking service away from listeners for a whole day to
talk about someth ing internal to station
management - I don't see that as serving out
audience," Huntsburger said.
KAOS has decided to partially participate in
the boycott. The station will broadcast the Media
Alliance program on Wednesday, Oct. 27 at 10 a.m.,
a listener call-in at 11 a.m., as well as regular Pacifica
programming. Huntsburger hopes that in doing so,
listeners "will make up their own mind."
A public forum presented by concerned
members ofthe KAOS communitywi1l start at noon
on Wednesday, Oct. 27 on the second floor of the
CAB. TIle forum will include a discussion with audio,
video and written information about the situation.

Some people would say, 'If you ain't hip
to the square by now, you should hang it up,
Bubba.'
This, then, is a sort of last call for the
WTO train . It seems to be pretty common
knowledge that the WTO is coming to Seattle
soon. (Nov. 30 through Dec. 3) After that,
things are a little murky. First, WTO stands for
World Trade Organization and Seattle will host
the third Ministerial meeting of the WTO.
But what is it? Well, the WTO is the only
international organization dealing with the
rules and regulations of trade between nations.
The goal orthe organization is 'to ensure a
smooth flow of free trade that is predictable.'
By doing so, the WTO feels that producers and
consumers can rest easy because they'll have
more markets and choices, respectively. Plus,
the rationale for the WTO continues, more
peace and prosperity will exist in an
economically accountable world.
The WTO, formed in 1995, is relatively
young. But, the organization is the prodigal
child ofthe General Agreement on Tariffs and
Trade (GATT), which formed after the Second
World War.
Similarly to GATT, the WTO utilizes a
multilateral trading system over 50 years in the
making. Unlike GATT, which was an ad hoc
system with very little legal foundation, the
WTO creates the legal ground-rules for
international commerce. This is accomplished
through negotiated agreements that become
ratified by member countries' parliaments and
turn into binding contracts between
governments. This multilateral trading system
is "at the heart" of the WTO. In addition, it is
"generally" a consensus based organization.
Currently, there are 134 member nations
planning to send about 5.000 delegates to
Seattle.
, .
So, is it democratic? The WTO provides
their answer: "It would be wrong to suggest
that every country has the same bargaining
"In the absence of
global conflict between
'isms' some people
have chosen to focus
their fury on
globalism,"
power. Nevertheless, the consensus rule means
every country has a voice, and every country
has to be persuaded before it joins a consensus.
Quite often , reluctant countries are persuaded
by being offered something in return.
Consensus also means every country accepts
the decisions. There are no dissenters."
On the question of environmental concerns the
WTO says, ..... it's not the WTO's job to set the
international rules for environmental
protection. That's the task of the
environ men tal agencies and conventions.
An overlap does exist between
Clarifying Women of Color
by Teresa Wang
"There are those who question the
usefi.llness of the construct 'women of color.'
There are people in our own respective
communities who may accuse us of
divisiveness, implying that somehow we are
prioritizing our relationships with wom en
from cultures entirely different from our own
over our relationships with men from our won
culture. But most of us who participate in
organizations of women of color or who
atte mpt to devel op arialyses fo cusin g on
wo men of color arc trying to be neither diverse
within our own community nor se paratist
within the women 's movement. But we do
have the right to define an autonomous space
for ourselves as women of color when it is
necessary. We do have that right."

The Evergreen Parent Resource
Network is a new student group for
people who are attending school
while also raising children.
We are bringing parents
together to share ideas and
experiences, to share child care
responsibilities, to have fun together,
and to work as a group to deal with
the problems that we have in
common. We hope to combine efforts
with students at South' Puget Sound
Community College and St. Martin's
College. We are sharing office space
with the Women's Resource Center,
and you can find us there or call us at
x6162.
Together with several other
student groups, we're holding a
multicultural Halloween party for
parents and their children and for the
entire community next Saturday, Oct.

environmental agreements and the WTO on trade actions (such as sanctions or other
import restrictions) taken to enforce an
agreement. So far there has been no conflict
between the WTO' s agreements and the
international environmental agreements."
Some of the WTO's own justifications are
also the very same criticisms being waged. It
would be silly to go into specific case studies
here; however, the WTO coming to Seattle
evokes a lot of emotions in a lot of different
people. It is estimated that somewhere around
50,000 protesters will converge on Seattle.
Partially in response to this, the new
director general of the WTO, Mike Moore says:
"In the absence ofglobal conflict between 'isms
some people have chosen to focus their fury on
globalism. Thus the WTO has become a target
for abuse. This will necessitate new skills at
governmental and at the international level to
communicate and engage those citizens
especially in the wealthy nations who will
protest and march and call for barriers to be
built to keep out products from poor countries
which desperately need the opportunity to
work and produce incomes for their families.
Even in developed countries, large numbers of
people have problems with international trade.
Yet tens of millions ofjobs... are directly related
to exports and overseas investment."
There is tension here, Moore and I can
see that. What the other Moore missed is that
globalism ends, i-s-m. The WTO is worth
serious attention. It is an organization that
could potentially determine what's on the
breakfast table and where we go from there.
Seriously.

Virus Alert
Spinal meningitis -
By Jane Galaxy
The Student Health Center is located in the bottom floor of Seminar building room 2110.
If you are a full-time student included in your tuition was a $35 fee for their services. This means
that service is offered to you free of charge. You only pay for lab fees and medicine. Part-time
students have the option to pay the fee and utilize services.
The Health Center can take care of anything a family practitioner would and can refer
patients to specialists and x-ray technicians. There is one medical doctor, two phYSician assistants
and three nurse practitioners. Women's annual exams are offered as well as confidential HIV
testing. Stop in for more information or call x6200.
Bacterial spinal meningitis is a flulike virus with the license to kill.
Recently, students have expressed
concern with an increase in the virus, and
the Health Center said it's true. East Coast
cases have increased the most, and West
Coast cases have been spotted.
The ultimate breeding ground for
this virus is in places where young adults
live close together. For example, many
have been found in college dorms and
millitary barracks.
Fortunately, early treatment of this
sneaky devil can prevent its murderous
tendencies.
For this reason, the Health Center
advises anyone with the symptoms to seek
medical attention immediately.
A vaccine for spinal meningitis is
available at the Student Health Center.
Office hours are as follows:

PHAT health tip for the Week
more reasons to eat your spinach
Studies confirmed by a variety of sources have shown that some age-related vision loss can
be prevented. Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of vision loss in
people over the age of 50. AMD destroys the macula, the most sensitive part of the retina, which
contains millions of nerve cells needed for seeing. Victims lose their central vision but retain
their side vision . It was once thought to be the inevitable result of years of sun damage, smoking
or high cholesterol. But current research being conducted in several laboratories is showing that
lutein, a nutrient found in dark green leafy vegetables, can dramatically reduce (and possibly
reverse) the effects of AMD.
So ... eat that spinach salad, steam some kale and cook up some collards three or four times a
week. You and your eyes will have a long, healthy relationship together.

Lesser worries _ _ _ _ _~~ ________
Calls to the Health Center have recently
increased, with concerns about fever,
headaches. and body aches, along with cold
symptoms.
The Center said the problem is coming
from two campus viruses: one left over from
the summer and a young 'un that looks like
influenza.

If you notice these symptoms, the
Health Center suggests a trip to the
emergency room.
The good news-they're not that bad. This
means that all the usual aches and pains might
drag you down, but there aren't any serious
complications.
The best defense is a good immune
system. Viruses aren 't treatable with
antibiotics, so the Center prescribes a healthy
dose of self-care.

Last week Douglas M. Mackar published an article entitled The rrEvolution of Evergreen. He states the position of
president at TESC is unnessicary and believes the college should be run in the manner its programs are. The article
has sparked a discussion.
Is participatory democracy a possibility in
TESC governance?
To the Editor:
In response to th e very engaging and
provocative essay by Douglas M. Mackar (The
r/ Evolution of Evergreen) in your October 14
issue, I would like to offer some comments about
gove rnance at Evergreen.
Think of a long low building with m~ny
doors and windows. Attached to one corner of
that building is a small but quite tall pyramid.
This is how I see our governance structure.
In the long low building is the academic
program - faculty and students loosely organized
in ~cademic programs and planning units,
working collaboratively and with virtually no
organizational hierarchy, no departments. no
divisions, no professional adm inistrators. They
decide what will be taught, how it will be taught,
how student and fa culty work will be evaluated,
how credit will be awarded, even how faculty will
be pa id. This is quite revolutionary compared
with conventional colleges.
Next door in the pyramid is a much more
conventional business-like structure '- president
and vice presidents, directors, managers,
departments. We conduct the business of the
college. We design, bui ld , and maint~in
bui ldings, roads , grounds, and parking lots;
collect, rccycle, and dispose of garbage; provide
heat, light, and power to the buildings: buy,
maintain, and provide data lines to computers
and other equipment; maintain a library; hire ,
5upervise, and pay employees; hustle for money
from private donors and from the legislature;
advocate for accessible higher education in thr
state; collect tIIition and fees; run a large housing
complex, food service, book store, conference
service, and print shop; manage a post office. We
also recruit students, provide counseling,
medical, and advisiltg services for them, help to
oversee a wide variety of student organizations
including a public radio station, a newspaper,
and a child care center. And we monitor and
respond to a llIyriad of regulations and demands
for accountab ility from federal and state
governments, from our accreditors (withont
whom students could not receive federa l
financial aid), and from parents and taxpayers,
who pay for more than halfofthe cost of running
this place.
In the passageway between the long low
building Jnd the pyramid are the academic
deans and the provost. The deans arc members
of the faculty on temporary assignment to
manage a number of special administrative tasks
for the faculty. They are from the faCility and they
return to the faculty, and so are accountable to
them. They arc also accountable to the PJovost.
who is a vice president in the pyramid and who
supervises them as deans but who cannot tire
them -she can at most return them to the faculty.
This too is quite revolutionary compared with
conventional colleges.
The architectural metaphor breaks down
in one place. Though I occupy the peak of the
pyramid, I am myself hired, supervised, and
could be fired by Evergreen's Trustees, seven atlarge citizens and one Evergreen student
appointed by the governor and confirmed by the
state Senate, who serve without pay because they
believe in higher education and in Evergreen.
They piovidcthe link to the public that supports
us. So maybe th e Board occup ies a little
penthouse, balanced on the tip of the pyramid.
Asymphony orchestra is governed like this.
There are musicians, a conductor and music
director, and then there is a business structure
that maintains the hall, sells subscriptions, pays
musicians, prints programs , etc. The business
structure exists only to support the artists, but
the artists would have no v('n ue to perform
without the business structure.
Of course the question remains: Do we
need the pyramid to take care of the business of
the college? Couldn 't it be managed the way we
manage the academic program? Perhaps in some
areas, though our external public seem to wan t
to know who's in charge
In my own experience. participatory
democracy is a precious enterprise and an
enormously time-consuming one. I personally
think it makes sense to delegate those ihings you
can, while focusing participation on issues that
really count. We have trouble enough getting
people to participate in governa nce on a limited
number of issues. without requiring a plebiscite
every time we have to pay a bill or change a light
bulb.
- Jane L. Jervis, President
Position of president one of liason,
fosterer of visions, facilitator
Last week Douglas Mackar submit ted a well-written letter to
the CPJ entitled , "The r/Evo lution of Evergreen." He sugges ted
that Evergreen should not repla ce our retiring president , but
instead " naturally fill the rol e of a presid ent with creative
problem·solving and the motivation to do so." According to
Douglas. this would set an example for other organizations and
further the original mi ss ion of the schoo l. The conclusion to his
letter challen ged the institution to co ntinue a history of
innovation by doing away with a hierarchical model.
Alth ough Douglas' letter shows a commitment to creative
thinking and decentralized decision -making, his appeal rests on
misunderstandings . He suggests there is a "system of control" out
oheacll for the Olympian community and Evergreen students. Of
course there are decisions made wit h out the input of the
: ommunity at lar ge. As a state institution. it is necessary that
lO me administrators hold more power than others. However, the
ad ministrative body is certainly not running on "old-fashi oned
princip les of organization" and our president's rol e isn't tru e to
th e connotations of "commander in chief."
In actuality, the president serves as a facilitat or. Evergreen's
po~it ion description describes a leade r "wo rkin g co ll aborat ivrl y
with th e administrative tea m." The president also acts as a liais on
to th e outside co mmunit y. Internally , the president help s fos ter
a vis ion for th e future and provide a com mon direction for the
:.J peratiom of the co lle ge. More fornul duties include securing
fInancial support and maintaining the academic integrity of the
institution. Qui te simply, Douglas ' cha ll enge is unrealistic in a
world where there are practical demands.
The above coo perative approach to th e ornce orthe president
is currently a large part of the Presidential Search Committee's
agenda. As an elected student member of Evergreen's Presidential
Search Co mmittee , I believe the criteria for the next president
strongly reflect the ideals of the Evergreen commun ity Douglas
refers to. Yet. the search committee has also worked hard to
balanc e important beliefs with practical concerns .
They have emphasized matters of diversity and academic
innovation a longside issues of fundraising and effective
communication with the legislature.
Altho ugh much of Douglas' letter combines exaggeration
with sophistry, his writing touches on important issues. He points
to a I'ery real absence of student involvement. Students need to
Jsser t influence. rather than sit back and allol\' decisions to be
made without their input. Douglas' concern Jnd effort evident in
his le'tter ~xemplifles such involl'ement. Although I disagre e with
his suggest ion that we not repla ce our pres ident, I hope this is
th e start of more dialogue. Evergreen will chan ge regardl ess of
whethc'r or not students speak up. To quote Douglas, "By
hecoming illvolved in the administratin, decision-making body .. .
th e sc hool hecomes a manifestation of the people's effo rt and
cnergy.

Fictional
Sociology=
not guilty
To the Editor:
We write in regard to the poster placed all
over campus last week. It read "O.J. for
Graduation Speaker 2000. He didn't do it
either."
There have been rumors, accusations even,
to the effect that '''Fictional Sociology' is at it
again." We hereby publicly state that "Fictional
Sociology" is not listed in this year's catalogue,
that we are not teaching it, and that, to our
knowledge, no one is enrolled in it.
As spokespeople for "The Spokesperson,"
tbe one public organ on campus last year that
set as its standard a truth that was "truer than
truth," we further state that if the paper were still
publishing, and ifit had an editorial page, and if
it had an editorial staff that lowered itself to the
having of opinions, The Spokesperson would
certainly publish its opinions on this poster
(which we think is pretty darn good) and try,
with all means at its disposal, to sway everyone
else's opinion to its. Just like last year.
But it isn't; it never did; and we never
wo uld.

1-695 = bad
Last year Thurston County voters decided
against further funding for the local transit
company. This resulted in an 8 percent cut in
services.
I know at least one person who's had to quit
a job because of this.
1-695 could result in a 40-50 percent cut in
local public transportation, if passed.
That likely means more car traffic and
pollution, which will affect drivers and bus riders
alike.
A lot of students and community members
I may suffer undue in collvenience. For example,
having to quit a job in Tumwater or Lacey.
Whether you vote for or against it, please vote.

I
I am very tired of hearing people complain
of all the injustice in this country, and now the
I world. from the atom bombs to prejudice of gays
to chemicals in everything instead of trying to
I do something about it constructively. These
problems have gone on since the Industrial
Revolution and will continue ifthe capitalists last
200 years from now.
The Socialist Labour Party is the only
political party for all who do useful work. At one
time thev ran a candidate for President and will
again if people will wake up. I believe they arc

parties are reformist, including all other socialist
parties and so-called communist parties. The

Education DTF
by Brian Price
The General Education DTF, chaired by
Brian Price and composed of faculty, staff, and
students, has been charged by the Provost, Barbara
Smith, to create a plan to address fundamental
concerns about the College raised last year by the
Reaccreditation team from the Northwest
Commission of Schools and Colleges. The
Commission, while praising the high quality of
TESC education, nevertheless recommended that
"The Evergreen State College make sure that all of
its students acquire the competencies appropriate
to general education, especially but not exclusively
in the area of mathematics." The Commission
continues, "Whatever the means taken, given a
situation in which there are no required courses/
programs, and in which student choices are largely
unconstrained, there is nonetheless an institutional
responsibility to achieve its stated liberal and
general education goals and the requirements for
general education and related instruction Finally,
the Commission notes that it "will schedule a
'focused visit' to Evergreen in Fall 2000 to follow
up on this recommendation specifically."
At regular colleges, general education
requirements are usually fulfilled by students
taking a range of courses offering credits in a
number of specified areas across the curriculum.
For example, many colleges require of all students
10 credits in Arts and Humanities, 10 in Sciences,
10 in Social Sciences, and four in mathematics,
regardless of their majors.
The Provost has charged the Gen. Ed. DTF
to "develop a clear policy statement about general
education at Evergreen, recognizing that general
education is an issue for the whole curriculum, not
just Core, and that it must include the large number
of transfer students as well as native four-year
Evergreen students." In addition, she has asked the
DTF to "consider how the achievement of general
education will be measured." The measurement is
important to the Gen. Ed. DTF because the
Washington State Higher Education Coordinating
Board in Dec. 1998 passed a policy stating that
public higher education institutions must have
student learning outcomes for students in all
academic programs by 2003. "More specifically,:
the Provost writes, "colleges must develop learning
outcomes in the areas of quantitative skills and
technological literacy (defined as familiarity with
applications typically used in the workplace). By
2000, we must report on progress in putting such

as the leaves changing color around campus or the
night air hecomingcrisp asit typically does in October.
What goes this mean to me, you ask?
Well a'Tot, ittumsout, ifyou are a human being. Ifyou
had any sort ofenvironmental or science class here at
Evergreen on this day, you probably will never forget
it.
SIX BILLION PEOPLE on our planet Earth. Let me
repeat that. as it's worth repeating, SIX BILLION!
<Ihe number seems unfathomable. And, that was the
predicted number for Tuesday. It is now possibly
TIllIrsday, midday, Greener time. According to the
Population Expo based out of France,"Every second,
five people are born and two people die with a net gain
ofthree people a second."
Roughly, that is three people per second multiplied by
60 seconds in a minute, by 60 minutes in an hour, by
48 hours in two days (the number of
days that have gone by since Tuesday the 12th.)
TIlat, by my math, is a total of518.4oo more people
plus or minus quite a few since then! And, like the
cosmos, thenumbercontinues togrowwith little signs
ofslowing.
Even Evergreen is immune to a booming
population. It seems inescapable.
Evidence of our population problems can be seen in
the past efforts to try to build a new parking lot.
Students opposed to this succeeded in passing a vote
to continue free Intercity Transit student passes.
However, despite the large percentage of students
preferring trees to blacktop, what we can't escape is
the fact that more students trom all over the country
will be heading to Evergreen, and more people are
calling Washington home, at least for now. What can
we as Evergreen State College students, staff, and
faculty, do?
We are a mere sample in a huge population, are we
also to blame, and can we help slow tJlis? We've all
heard about the population explosion in countries like
China, Africa, Mexico, and India, but why should we
worry in America?
After all, with all this room, how could
iteverhappen?Well,overpopulationisstartingtoaffect

everyone. And population and crowding is more than
jllst crowded spaces.
Overpopulation affects many forms and walks
oflife: the quality of the air we breathe, the trees that
still remain alive to filter our air, and the increased
hostility and stress that comes out of tJle people we
work, live, and go to school witJl.
Ifyou are a middle-aged student, or faculty, that
has been driving for more than 15 years, besides traffic,
haven't you noticed how violent and ignorant people
have become with one another'!
How many of you Greeners rush down

you do it!),passsorneone before nlshing over the speed

beat you, and then race to class in a foul mood, or leave
them in a foul mood?
I've seen it, heard it, and Idon't like it, but it seems
to be a more frequent occurrence.
See any connection between more people and more
cars on the road?
Even tJle long lines of students waiting to buy
book~ seems to be an example. As the number of
people grows, so does their impatience, an almost
predictable linear equation. It gets worse every year,
doesn't it?
Six billion people is more than a large number,
it affects everything. It is a sign of our dominance on
Earth and a sign ofa potential problem for our fi.lture
generations, as well as for the Earth's many other
organisms that also call it home. You may believe what
you want to believe, no doomsday predictor or optimist
is 100 percent right, and neither is science.
The bottom line is tJlis: Earth will go on; and
adding more to our population will primarily affect
us. We have this wonderful brain and consciousness
that allows us to do wonderful, and terrible things. Only
we have the power to change things. The fate offuture
generations and our present environment(aswe know
it) is in our hands.
The ultimate question is this: will we use our
tJlinking brains to stop ourselves? Six billion people.

outcome measures in place." The Provost has
encouraged the DTF to be "conceptual, creative
and imaginative," saying, "I am hopefulthat wecan
gain a leadership position in tJlinkingaboutgeneral
education in a way that is distinctive and
provocative for higher education."
The Provost has also been clear that we must
have a well-developed plan in place by the time of
the Fall 2000 Reaccreditation team's return visit. If
the DTF was to fail to do so, the Reaccreditation
team could revoke the College's accreditation,
renderingTESC ineligible for, among other things,
federal tlnancial aid, thereby preventing most
students from paying for their education.
The TESC Self-Study and the Planning Unit
Self-Studies of 1998 display some of the
dimensions of the general education problem that
the Reaccreditation team took so seriously. For
example, a random sample of 1996 graduates
revealed that 39 percent graduated with no credits
at all in art, 33 percent with none in science, and
30 percent with none in math. 67 percent of 1996
graduates left the college with fewer than the ten
credits in art commonly expected for general
education. 52 percent left with less than ten credits
in science, and 36 perccnt with fewer than four
credits in math.
The Culture, Text and Language planning
unit self-study notes that the vast majority of its
programs offer only credits in humanities and
social science (77 percent in 1994-95: 64 percent
in 1996-97), and raises concerns about the
disciplinary breadth of the area. The Expressive
Arts planning unit self-study argues that two years
ofcredit (96 credits, 50 percent ofall credit required
tor graduation) in Art is adequate for their majors,
but finds that most majors took 60·70 percent of
their credits in Art alone. In the Scientific Inquiry
planning unit, computer majors particularly tend
to shy away from acquiring a broad liberal arts
background.
The job ofthe Gen. Ed. DTF is to address such
findings as these and to develop an effective plan
to enable TESC to make its rhetorical support for
broadly based liberal arts education into reality for
all students, a task which has significant
implications for what and how students learn and
for what and how faculty teach.
The DTF wishes, accordingly, to engage the
campus as a whole in as broad as possible a
discussion of how to go about fulfilling its charge.
To this end, it is establishing a Web Crossing site
(on the Web at www.evergreen.edu/webx). The
DTF will regularly ask questions to which it would
like the campus to respond, setting up different
"folders" for responses to each individual question.
The first question the DTF would like help in
thinking about is this: Given that the Gen. Ed. DTF
is charged to develop a clear policy statement, or
vision statement, about general education at
Evergreen, what elements should that policy or
vision contain? Another way of thinking about the
question is: What skills, learning outcomes, or
orientations and characteristics should we expect
all Evergreen students to have acquired by the time
of their graduation, such as will enable them to
engage meaningfully in the complexity and
diversity of American and global society in the
upcoming century?
To contribute to the discussion, get on the
Net, enter the TESC Home Page, scroll down to
"Academic Program Sites," click on "Discussion
Groups," then click on "General Education DTF."
Click on the "Gen. Ed. Vision Statement" Folder,
then click 011 the "Gen. Ed. DTF Discussion Rules:
Read me First." to read the rule (singular). Then
click on "Gen. Ed. Vision Statpment," and follow

It is eight in the morning, and I stand in

Hours: 8:45 a.m.to 10:45 p.m., Monday through

I'll reference books there, maybe someth ing in a

to be a good plan, until again. I stand in front of

My options are limited at this hour, and my

Here I am, a relatively friendly man

I'm okay. I'll revisit my paper a fourth time,

A CHINESE GHOST STORY:
Tsui Hark's "Chinese Ghost Story" was an
excellent followup to last year's "Mr. Vampire."
It is the story of a hapless traveling tax collector,
Ning Tsai-Shen, who is forced to take shelter in
an abandoned temple. Ning ends up falling in
love with a beautiful young woman; what he
doesn't know is that she's a ghost in the service
of the Matron, a demon with the world's longest
tongue. The well-meaning young civil servant
soon teams up with a bizarre Taoist ghostbuster,
and together they attempt to liberate the woman 's
soul from the domineering Matron.
Not long ago, some friends of Mikel's gave
him the nickname "Captain Oblivious" because of
his tendency to be a bit dense at times. Ning TsaiShen, however, deserves the title far more than
Mikel does. Surviving the terrors of the
supernatura l only by dumb luck (emphasis on
dumb) and timely help from his friends, he
stumbles through the movie as both romantic
hero and comic relief. Far more interesting than
him was the ghost-fighting priest who stole the
movie with his great rap song, "The Way," and
made us long for a soundtrack album.
It was probably the most subtle movie. of the
night, utilizing striking camera shots and kIck-ass
martial arts action. "Chinese Ghost Story" is a
highly enjoyable ride, and we recommend it to
anyone who comes across a copy.
KILLER CONDOM:
"Killer Condom" is the story of Luigi Mac .,roni, a gay Sicilian detective living in New York
City. As the film ~rogresses, M~c~roni ~i~ds
himself on the trad of several hVlng, bItIng
condoms that eventually grip the city in a panic.
The title characters are actually made to act pretty
cute; we never thought we'd say this, but there s
something strangely endeari~g about a cr.awlin&,
squeaking rolled condom. RIght ~p, that IS, ~ntii
the point where they bear theIr H.R. Glgerdesigned mandibles, at which point they're
nothing short of horrific.
Funny and oddly touching, this movie was
one of the better films showed tnat night. Perhaps
it had something to do with sleep deprivation, but
we found ourselves genuinely caring about the
characters, which is rare for a movie in the All
Freakin' Night lineup . It had a great plot,
interesting dialogue, and an exhilarating elevator
love scene that left the audience shouting "Bravo!"
This review would not be complete without
a mention of this year's "fla~hing" scene . At this
particular All Freakin' Night, one of t.he
projectionists danced nude across the stage, WIth
a traffic cone on his head. (Mikel will-have to take
Jen's word for it, though, as he was looking
through the blue lens at fhe time.)

SHRIEK OF THE MUTILATED:
This was a horrible film, and not in the good and cheesy way that
would make it somewhat worth watching. "Plan 9 From Outer Space" was
a film masterpiece compared to this turkey; at least Ed Wood knew the
difference between night and day. Sort of. With one exception, all of the
scenes that were supposed to have taken place at night were obviously
filmed during the day, and no attempt was made to hide this fact. Oh,
but that's just the beginning.
The film opens with a completely unexplained and irrelevant
beheading on the shores of a lake, and goes downhill from there . The
super-irritating 70's hit, "Popcorn " by Hot Butter, is prominently featured
during a party sequence, during which we are treated to extended,
lingering shots of - you guessed it - popcorn. This continues for the
duration of the song. It would have borne as much relevance to the movie
if they had chosen to showcase a band of Gypsies juggling weasels.
Of particular annoyance was the "Native American Yeti expert,"
Laughing Crow. Actually referred to as "my Indian" by one of the fatherly
hunter characters, and speaking only in moan-grunts, Laughing Crow is
the token offensive stereotype. Despite the fact that Laughing Crow looks
like a cross between Sylvester Stallone and Lurch from the Addams Family,
somebody apparently decided that making him wear a bead necklace and
matching headband would somehow convince people he was an Indian.
This movie is basically a poorly done episode of Scooby-Doo, except
that Velma and Shaggy both die early on, while Fred finds himself forced
to eat Daphne's corpse. While this may sound interesting, it's really not.
The Scooby-Doo analogy was confirmed early on when th~ Verma-like character
lost her glasses in the woods, after attempting to sweep the grass for approximately
two seconds.
The Yeti so prominently featured here is about as intimidating as the Easter
Bunny and twice as fluftY, the acting is worse than a grade-school pageant, and the
characters all irritated us so much that we couldn't wait to see them all die. The
"twist" ending seems more like it was tacked on because the filmmakers ran out of
ideas. There's only one print ofthis movie out there and there's a reason why that
print should be set on fire and buried deep beneath the ground. It deserves to have
all traces of its existence wiped from the earth, and those involved in its production
should all be bloody ashamed of themselves.
Probably the only reason people stuck around through this last atrocity was
for the loot. While they didn't give out new t-shirts out this year, there were pins,
candy, and strange objects induding plastic Roman figures, foaming candy, and
rubber toys of all shapes and sizes. There was even the chance to get last year's
remaining t-shirts, so we finally got our All Freakin' Night shirts after only a year.

Alice Di Micele, Appaloosa
Arts and Information Center:
A Review
by Mac Lojowsky
If there could be a musical leader of today's ecological
consciousness movement, it would be Alice Oi Micele.
Folk/rock/blues/energy singer Alice Oi Micele gave about
fifty people gathered at the former home of Bulldog News a
spiritual renewal last Wednesday night.
Oi Micele's show spanned an incredible three hours with
songs ranging from the plight of our holy old-growth forests to
the survival of our endangered sa lmon.
Beyond her deep environmental concerns, Oi Micele also
sings about the struggle of our spirit to remain positive and
strong in the face of whatever storms may come.
Alice does not merely playa song, but with the audience
creates a dialogue of musical energy.
Together with the crowd, Alice sang "I wanna live in a
world/ where all there is to sing about/ is love and the beauty
of the Earth."
The sheer power of fifty voices raised in proud harmony
with Di Micele tickled my mind, sprouting goosebumps.
Alice Oi Micele stands unique among activist singers
because her message is delivered without judgment. The magic
in her performance is that she doesn't preach about tearin g
down government walls , but rather Alice asks the audience to
tear down the walls which surround their own hearts .
Oi Micele sings, "[ just wanna share all the joy and love
that sweet music can bring." She brought jllst that to Olympi a
last Wednesday, kindling fresh inspiration to carry our
strugg les on to a new day. Say it three tim es aloud to yourself.
Alice Oi Micele. Remember that name.
