If Eric John Cole (above) walks up to you
in two weeks. don't enter into conversation
and politely excuse yourself. Do not challenge
him. just call the police, says Steve
Huntsberry, chief of Police Services.
Cole was arrested Oct. 4 after a routine
traffic stop.
After being pulled over by Tony Neely, a
TESC Police Services officer, Cole resisted
when asked about his activities on campus.
Cole has been visiting campus a lot, making
people nervous.
Cole attempted to flee the scene, and was
wrestled to the ground by Officer Neely plus
Officers George Oplinger and Pamela Garland.
Cole was taken into custody for resisting
arrest. Later that day, a class B felony charge
was added for possessing child pornography,
according to court records.
The child pornography was laying about
in Cole's backseat.
Cole has a record going back to June
1972. At age 18, he was arrested for seconddegree burglary. In June 1993, Cole was
arrested for violating a restraining order in
Hoquiam, then again two months later for
harassment.
Cole is to be held until Oct. 25 to
determine his sanity. If Cole is deemed safe to
be in public, he will be released.

Question of the week:
How are you plann.i ng on
saving the world?
there is the case of Hally McNeill, who has a
past that is an exact reverse of most comingof-age rebellions. Her mother is extremely
liberal, tends toward New Age paganism, and
openly opposes her daughter's churchgoing
habits. Hally says that she and her mother have
reached an understanding whereby her mother
respects Hally's beliefs, although her mother
still encourages her to stay home on Sundays.

Evergreen Students for Christ agree on one very
important thing: they want to dispel the myth
that all Christians are intolerant of those who
do not share their views. Vangie and her
colleagues acknowledge that in the past, a lot of
evil things(such asthe Crusades, the Inquisition,
and the burning of alleged witches) have been
done in the name of God, and that there are still
a number of so-called Christians who openly
preach intolerance. They want to stress,
however, that these are the actions of people, and
not of Christianity itself.
How do the Evergreen Students for Christ
think they can help to eradicate this negative
image? "[By being) ourselves," says Vangie. "A
lot of people who know me are like, 'wow,
Vangie's a Christian, she's so cool.'" Vangie and
her colleagues feel that if people were to get to
know them, they would see that the stereotype
does not apply to everyone, and that Christians
can be very open, friendly, and accepting people.
When the subject of Bible Jim is
(inevitably) brought up, the group almost
unanimously groans. For the uninitiated, Bible
Jim is a Christian performance artist ofsorts who
feels that the best way to convert people is to
anger and offend them. Every year, he and his
ever-changing, sign-wielding entourage visit
Evergreen's Red Square and begin shouting at
such varied groups as uperverts" and "rebellious
women" to mend their ways or face damnation.
His annual arrival is regarded by some as the first
sure sign that Spring has arrived. Nobody's sure
exactly how long he's been coming to Evergreen,
but according to Hally (whose aunt attended
Evergreen before her) it's been at least 20 years.
Vangie wants to stress that Bible Jim is not
in any way affiliated with or endorsed by the
Students for Christl and that his views and
tactics do not fit in with theirs at all. When asked
what her reaction to Bible Jim usually is, Vangie
says that it's to Ujust walk on by" and not look at
him. Other members of the group speak up as
well, assertingthatJim does not represent them
at all: "Even in the Bible," says Hally, "it says 'do
not judge lest ye be judged in the eyes of the
Lord.' It's not our job to judge people, it's our
job to love and educate.
uHis heart's in the right place," she adds,
although she feels that yelling "'you're a sinnerl
You're going to Helll' at someone isn't going to
make them like you, or make them particularly
receptive to your message."

a ·fair shake. ~

IIOne day longer" against Kaiser
•
By Nichol Everett
As the CAB fills with busy students
hurrying to grab a bite to eat between classes,
two people sit humbly at a table talking eagerly
to passers-by.
Sherman and Carol Beckham represent
the United Steelworkers of America. The couple
owns a modest apartment in Spokane,
Washington where, up until the strike, Sherman
had worked for Kaiser Aluminum for 22 years.
The two came to Olympia about five
months ago to head up the boycott of Pepsi
Bottling Group who was producing aluminum
cans with metal purchased from Kaiser. On Oct.
4. 1999 the \JSWA released a notice that "the
Pepsi Bottling Group will stop buying can sheri
from Kaiser Aluminulll after its current
commitments ex pire on Dec. 31. 1999."
This victor y is a small step in th e
Steelworkers struggle to be heard:
"We've got several Steelworkers that have
been traveling thousands of miles to talk to IOU
of Kaiser's top cllstomers and all labor
organizations that have bee n involved . This
bow'ott was not just in the Northwest, it was a
nation-wide boycott, and with the hrlpofpeoplc
all over the nation, this is the reason that we
won ." expressed Sherman.
The Beckhams have come to Evergreen to
share the story of their struggle and. in return,
ga in support. They also hope to warn people
about Kaiser's current practices.
Because of layoffs at Pacific Lumber
Company's mills in Californ ia. replacement
labor has been sent to Ka iser plants in Tacoma
and Spokane. According to the union this new
labor force is inexperienced and is not receiving
adequate training.
The outcome of this problem is that major
, companies are purchasing the metal gelH'rated
Ii'om Kaiser. One of their prime buyers is Boeing.

Some info about skating and the skate club
by Jane Galaxy
Ever since I can remember I've always
loved the feeling' of roller skating around the
rink-wind in hair, feeling the rhythm of the
music.
Roller skating is an excellent form of
exercise that encompasses strength building,
cardiovascular endurance and balance. It can
be enjoyed year round at indoor facilities which
is great for us here in the Evergreen State.
There are many different forms of roller
skating. The old-school "quad"-style skating
consists of artistic dance. speed and disco
dance. These forms are practiced all over the
world.
Artistic dance is the style of skating
~ imilar to ice skating. Skaters choreograph and
practice routines that include triple axles.
jumps and that great flying move.
There are regional and national
championships in this competitive field.
Currently there is a skating club at Ft. Lewis
practicing for their annual Christmas Fun on
Wheels Show. This is similar to an Icecapad,es
type of show, only done on skates. This show
will feature a pair of gold medal winners from
this year's regional championships.
Speed skating uses a broader based 'quad'
with a lower boot cut. This helps the speedsters
.speed skating team as well as the professional
roller hockey.
Disco skating is alive and well in the 90's.
For this style, the skate used is similar to the
speed skate with no toe stop.
Disco dancers sometimes make flashy boot
covers out of fake fur or have light-up wheels.
They often gather in the center of the rink to
show off their fancy footwork. Groups of5-10
people will gather to perform the same moves
in unison. It is very cool.
In sync with 90's disco skating is break dancing.
These incredible athletes do break dancing
moves such as the helicopter, handspin, and
various other super tly moves on skates. It is
outrageous.
I was recently in Provo. Utah where the
disco skating movement is really big. Guys
there did fully extended splits in the air,
touching their toes, and all on roller skates! It
was amazing. I have some photos on my web
site @ www.olywa .net/janegalaxy/about/
provoskate.html
All forms of roller skating, including the
90's version, roller blading, are excellent ways
to build muscle, coordination and endurance.
It is easier on your knees than running and can
become a highly expressive form of dance or
movement.
That's the health beat for this week, now get
out and skate!

Letter from the Editor
by Douglas M. Mackar
By Greg Skinner
The reason Evergreen was created was
to provide a school di fferent from oth er co l-
leges in that studen ts arc res ponsihle li,r their
own learning . It has definitely heen a fine
example of that. The founders wanted to cut
(lut the hureaucracy existing in schools which
told the students what to learn. how to learn it.
and. hoth directly and indirectly, right from
wrong.
That part of the sc hool was inde'cd
in ve ntive and well thought out. They were
successful in reaching their goals as far as education was concerned, hut they failed to apply
that same vision and attitude toward the system that holds power within the school- Those
who detemline how many credits, tuiti on, "the
social contract," as well as financing and curriculum. These aspects of Evergree n arc set
up in much the s<lme w<ly a con ventional
school is.
Regardless of intention, the power is
taken away from the students. the faculty,
and the staff. Not that it is done maliciously;
in fact, I feel quite stro ngly that the people
here care about each other. Attempts are
made to hridge theory and practice , hut the
underlying fact is that there is a system vf
control, and most memhers of the Evergreen!
O lympia community arc on the outside of
that system looking in.

The "core heliefs" listed in thc Evergreen catalog inciuJe: "Activc Icarning- Applying what is learned to projccts and activi ties is heller than passively receiving knowledge." I think it is time to expand on this bclief'. Applying what is learm:d to thc str ucture

such opportunities is hctter than passively rc ceiving knowledge on how Ihc school will he

October 14,1999
To the students, faculty and staff,
Last Thursday I sat in on a poker game. The
game was at a friend's house and all the players
were students. Of the live other players, I had
only known one previous!. It was nice to meet
some other students and share the ed ucational
environs of penny poker and beer.
During one conversation it was mentioned
that I was the editor of the school newspaper,
then the newspaper spent a few minutes as the
topic of conversation. One poker shark recalled
a specific article he'd once read, another brought
up how the paper had started a satirical
embodimen t of news. A lot of questions were
asked about things I wrongly assumed everyone
knew.
This conversation went on for only a few
minutes and the cards began to play, Five card
draw, nickel ante.
After some time, between bets, the student
to my right turned to me and said "I gotta ask
what's up, will you guys print anything?" After
answering the question, which is both yes and
no, I began to wonder about the state of the
school newspaper in the community.
Now I am wondering out loud the same
thing. But instead of telling you, I will ask you.
What role does the Cooper Point Journal play in
your community? What role does any newspaper
play in its community?
The school newspaper belongs to the
students. You own ii, those of us who spend time
up here do not. You should use it more.
Evergrecn fancie s itself a well-versed.
diverse ami open societ y that relies on individual
responsibility, self gove rnan ce and communa l
goals to function properly and fairly. All this for
t he goa I of fi.lrthering educatio n and the genera l
hetterment of society. Wilh that in mind. Ihe
reality is that faculty operate over in one corner
and the deans in ano th er. The administration has
ils offices onlh e third Ooor of one building and
the student groups the third floor ofanother. The
school has day students. night students and
weekend students with satellites in Tacoma .

is quite spread out.
The one and only chance our commtillity
has 10 gather ce nlrally to speak up on issues. like
the general education DTF, is through the 20 or
so pages of th e weekly student newspaper.
Speak up. Evergreen I
Your so-called engaged society is dying.
The Evergreen community is so quick to
run off to Chiapas, or to help steel workers in
Tacoma do their strike thing. That's good, but
there is trouble in your neighborhood.
Let me ask you all some questions.
Do you know what is going on in the 1,033
acres of the Evergreen campus? Did you know
that last week there was to be a campus-wide
discussion on race? Who was aware that the'
Olympia Venue
Calendar Coverage!
When you're dead, no one cares what you
think. Speak up now. If you don't, how would
anyone know to care?
Use the paper, it's yours. Speak!
At your fingertips, you have access to the
same power that tossed Communism out of the
Czech Republic. Ronald Reagan did not win the
Cold War, words did. The words of a committed
society, said clearly and loudly.
Any of you could use the same power to
inform the community that there is no usable
gallery space for individual students on their
campus. What is your local concern? Do you
have any?
The CP] started offthis year with a slogan I
found in an old pile destined for the trash. A
green llx17 piece of paper that had printed on
it "The CPJ: You Own It." This simple slogan
could not be left for the recyclers. It would mean
nothing to them; they don't own the CPJ, you do!
This piece of green paper now hangs above
my desk and over the course of the next year I
hope to convince many of you to do something
about anything close to home.
I'm curious why the CP] published upcoming
showsat the RCKN DY, when both the Rocket and
the Strangerusually have full or half page ads for
RCKNDY.
Shou ldn't an OLY based publication
publish shows ill OLY? Why not search oUl
shows going on at The Arrowspace, Midnight
Sun. Eastside, that new place on Columbia, etc.
Advertising Metropolis is goo,d but as you
probably know, Metropolis isn't the only venue
in Oly. I guess my point is, RCKNDY doesn't need
help advertising. Try and keep things local.
Thanks,

homage to great contemporary Latin American poets.
Subiela operates his own school of cinema in Buenos
Aires. where he shares his experiences and talent with
the younger generations of Argentine filmmakers. We

his newest film The Adventures of God tor this special
