Officer George Oplinger and fellow
officer Chris Lewis of Evergreen's Police
Services got to live out what their Director,
Steve Huntsberry, called "every cop's
dream ." They got to kick down a door.
On the night of Feb. 12, around 7:00
p.m ., the two forCibly entered the apartment
of Roger Wayne Baugh, age 35. Baugh was
not in his apartment in the Apple Park
Apartments at 3200 Capital Mall Drive SW,
but Lewis and Oplinger entered with a
search warrant that granted them access to
anything in there which related to
computers and child pornography.
According to the inventory of the
search warrant, they discovered six cases of
computer disks containing a total of 330
disks; a notebook and a binder containing
co mputer printouts of nude children ;
pamphlets regarding teenagers and teen
sex; five notebooks containing newspaper
articles on "shootings involving children or
childre n being killed" ; a photocopy of an
obituary of a ten-yea r old girl from Th e
Olympian; handwritten notes about girls
ages 11 and 12, and what they lik ed and
where they were from; various nudist
magazines, videos and computer disks; a
picture of an unknown gravestone of an 11year old girl; various computer items; and
other co ll ect ions of newspaper articles,
book s a nd magazines regarding child
shootin gs.
They posted a copy of the inventorYQf
the searc h warrant on Baugh's refrigerator.

The sea rch followed the appre hen sion
of Ba ugh by Officer Oplinger.
On the afternoon of Feb. 6, around
1:40 p.m ., Oplinger was dispatched to the
Library Circulation desk about a complaint
of a man accessing child pornography on the
Library's computers, according to the police
report. On his way to the Library, Oplinger
was informed that Baugh was now crossing
Red Square on route to the bus loop. He
watched Baugh board the bus then he too
boarded the bus. Oplinger asked Baugh if
he had been downloading pictures off the
internet, and Baugh said that he had.
Oplinger then asked Baugh if the pictures
were of a "nude or offensive" nature to
children and Baugh responded that he did
have some pictures of those nature. Baugh
added that because he was a naturali st and
believed that the naked human figure is not
some thing offensive , he considered such
pi ct1.i res to be lawful.
Oplinger took Baugh back to Police
Services and Baugh voluntarily gave him
fiv e co mputer disks on which there were
numerous pictures of children posing nude
and he also handed over 32 printouts of
children in "sexually explicit poses." Baugh
said that he had used the Library computers
for three or four months and "usually once
a week" for the purpose of downloading and
printing pictur es like those. Oplinger
informed Baugh that he WOUld. be doing
further research on the case and that Baugh
would be arrested if he ever returned to
campus as a violation of a trespassing order
placed against him. Baugh then went home.
On the night of Feb. 12, two hours after
the search, Baugh was arrested by officer
Oplinger at his residence. He was charged
with one count of dealing or possessing
child pornography, a felony sex offense.
Baugh , an engineer with the Washington
State Department of Transportation, posted
the $10,000 bail and returned to the free
world under court orders that he not view
child pornography or come into contact
with children without their parents or
guardians being apprised of his suspected
cTlme .
During his arraignment on March 26,
Baugh ent ered a plea of not guilty. If
convicted, he can face up to five years in
prison and/or a $10,000 rme. Officer Lewis
said that if Baugh is found gu ilty, it will be
more likely that he will have to register
hini self as a fed<'fal sex offender and be
required by law to notify any neighborhood
which he lives in that he is such a person.
On the morning of April 29, Baugh
relaxed in the back row of room 298 in
Building Two of the Thurston County
District Courthouse. Baugh cur led hi s
fin gers togeth er and waited patiently for his
name to be ca lled. He sat next to a mother
and her four children as th ey antiCipated the
nam e of th eir relative to be ca lled. Baugh
still wore his windbreaker even though he
was inside the fill ed courtroom. His pretrial
motion would take all of five minutes.
His court date was set for the week of
June 7, 1999.
•••
Although not completely tied to the
Baugh case, Anna Kircher, director of
Computing and Communications, said that
the forming of a "working group" to form a
new policy on access to a.Jl campus
computers is "indirectly related" to his
arrest.
According to a separate police report,
on March 23 an unidentified student found
another piece of child pornography on a
computer's "scratch" drive at the Computer
Center on the second floor of the Library.
But there was no link to whomever left the
picture .
It is in ci dents like these that have
Kircher worried abou t the present situation
of computer use on ca mpu s. She, along with
other members of the Computer Ce nter,
Academic Computing and Ruta Fanning. th e

On Thursday, April 29 at around 2 p.m. a woman was
jogging down to the Evergreen beach via the F-lot trail. When
she was more than halfway to the beach she saw a man adjusting
his groin region "vigorously."
She looked away because she thought the man might want
some privacy.
As she jogged past she looked up to say hello she noticed
the man had pulled the leg of his shorts up and over his penis.
"It was hanging out for me to see_"
The man is described as 45-50 years old, over six feet tall,
and around 200 pounds. He has dark curly mid-length hair, a
bushy black mustache and had a dark complexion.
The woman returned to F-Iot and phoned Police Services.
Officers St(etch and Lewis responded and, after searching the
area. concluded the man was nowhere to be found .

They will be studying the structure and
,ecurity of Evergreen 's computing systems,
all the while keeping in mind how it will
apply 10 Evergreen 's social contract and the
students as a whole. She worries that
people, whether looking at chi ld or adult
pornography on Evergre e n's publi c
computers, cause a great deal of discomforl
to Ihose around them. "I I happens once in
a blue moon," said Kircher. "Bul when it
does happen, it is horrible."
The preliminary plan is to have
computers across campus require that the
-C()OI'I
n
user enter their name and a password to log
onto an individual computer. In the event
of a malfeasance , the staff can then trace it
back to a name.
The group is still in its beginning
s tages. Currently, they are studying how
colleges across the country balance
ac cessibility and security. They hope to have
a plan to show the student body before the
end of the term to be discussed. After that,
they will spend the summer working with
that student response and finalize the plan.
"It is possible to do bad things," she
said, "but it is also possible to good things.
We don't want to punish people for keeping
in line with the social contract of our
community. If someone does stray from
that, we need to have a way to tell them that
what they have done is wrong."

What are some of the ro les that
graffiti can play? Does it act as a venue
for voices unheard to get out? Can it be
a non-violent way of disrupting the
system? Does it provoke thoughts and
actions towards helping the community?
Does it pose a threat to freedom of
expression?
Maybe one of the questions I want
to ask is, are blank walls a form of
expression? I think they are . What
meanings that blank, mono-colored
walls might convey surely varies from
paradigm to paradigm, with some
examples being conformity, niceness or
censorship. Freedom of expression is a
privilege that our ancestors paid in
blood for, and a fierce struggle continues
through this day over how much of, and
exactly what, the privilege is . Another
one of the ongoing battles in our soc iety
today is the freedom from expression,
where the battles are about what we as a
society do not have to be exposed to.
Freedom from expression may be
one o f the least talked about and yet
most e motionally charged issues we
face.
On freeways and other key
locations billboards promote products
using tactics that some people find
unacceptable, so in communities that
have their organization and intentions
towards protecting themselves from the
meanings in billboards the billboards

are mostly banned; but what about the
communities with the intention to get
rid of billboards without the
organization?
Telemarketing is
considered by some to be a form of
attack or harassment, and activists on all
sides work vigorously to enact
legislation that will protect their modus
operandi. What about conspiracy
theories of subliminal meanings being
conveyed to unknowing subjects (i.e. low
frequency
EM
fields,
shadows
airbrushed into ads, neuro-linguistic
programming, etc.) where there is
apparently very little public discourse
but very high potential public interest?
I n conflicts between individuals where a
person does not want to be exposed to
the messages of a persistent other, very
emotionally charged situations can arise
in a complex legal environment. These
are all issues involving freedom from, or
of, expression, where one side is
interested in expressing, and the other
is interested in being shielded from the
expressions.
One of the key arguments against
allowing unrestricted graffiti/art is that
our citizens want and need to be
protected from some of the meanings
that common ly come up. For instance,
the meaning that may come up for
someone when a symbol representing a
violent gang is painted on their mom's
garage door can be very disturbing.
When property is altered in such a way
as to assert any sort of dominion over it
by parties other than the owner, the
meaning can be that the government is ,
or will be, unable to protect the property
owner's righ ts to that property.
Another argument that should
come up (but I haven't heard it much) is
that if unrestricted graffiti were allowed,
then only those meanings with the
biggest and most spray cans behind
them would get the most expression.
That could mean that mostly the very
rich or powerful (i .e. large businesses,
governments etc.) would be getting the
graffiti messages across to the people.
This has already happened with many
forms of media. Remember: the freedom
of the press is limited to those who can
afford one. As it is now, The Mall is very
limited from writing graffiti all over.
What I am concerned about is that
our citizens tend to get freedom from
expressions of graffiti art, when they
don't get freedom from expressions of
blank and boring fucking walls . Often,
the freedom from graffiti art is spawned
by fanatics who have business and
aesthetic motivations that cater only to
the consuming public rather than to the
entire public. Freedom from graffiti as
a way of protecting our citizens is often
a concealed attack on people's freedom
from expression. When there is nothing
but blank walls then the peoples eyes
have nothing to be drawn to except
billboards, televisions, newspapers, etc.All areas that are dominated by
corporate interests rather than the
interests of the citizens.
Do our people need or want
freedom from expression? It is an
incredibly complex question that
doesn't look to be resolved anytime
soon . In the meantime, what are some
of the roles that graffiti should play for
this campus?
by Jen Blackford
Staff writer
In the coming years, the Campus
Childcare Center may be getting a new
face-lift.
In the final S&A Board Meeting on
May 5 , the Childcare Center's new
building reserve was transferrred
$250,000 from the Building Reserve
Fund, which had recently grown to
$526,621.87.
In addition to this allocation, two
previous S&A Boards set aside $15,000
for the construction of a new building to
replace the center's current one, which is
the oldest building on campus.
The Childcare Center will al so b e
app lying for a new grant from the U.S.
government. Signed into existence in
January, the grant would provide help
with childcare for low-income parents.
Future services the Chi ldcare Center
will hope to provide with the new funding

As yet it is not know who

The Army Reserve Alternate Training Program is a smart way to pay
for college.
First, if you qualify, the Montgomery GI Bill can provide you with
over $7,000 for current college expenses or approved vo/tech training.
Second, if you have-or obtain-a qualified student loan not in
default, you may get itpaid off at th e rate of 15% per year or $1,500, whichever is greater, up to a maximum of $10,000. Selected military skills can
double that maximum.
Third, you can earn part-time money in college, and here's how it
works: One summer you take Basic Training, and the next summer you
receive skill training at an Army school. You'll earn over $1,600 for Basic
and even more for skill training. The n you'll attend monthly meetings at an
Army Reserve unit near your college, usually one weekend a month plus
two weeks a year. You'll be paid over $107 a weekend to start. It's worth
thinking about. Give us a call:

Murnia's supp orters, as does 3nyo ne
intending to advocate political or social change ,
need to understand that how they choose to
communicate their message often leaves at least
as strong an impression on their audience as
does the message itself Whi le the advocacy was
confined to activities such as handing out flyers
in Red Square, asking for petition signatures in
the CAB or otherwise behaving like responsible
adults in the political arena, I was willing to
participate and lend support. I signed petitions
and paid attention to the case in the news. But
then things deteriorated.
By last term, I was being greeted to the
unwelcome sight of hastily scraw led "Free
Mumia" messages in Sharpie on tl1e walls of the
elevator I take to and from my apartment each
day, and on various other surfaces around
campus. Even once I posted a sign on my door
asking that flyers not be attached, they
continued to proliferate. By no means are the
Mumia supporters the only or worst offenders
in this regard, but given the reccnt controversy
they are the best example of a widespread and
odious problem on this campus.
Al l of these activities are bad advocacy:
they indulge the author's ego while wasting
resources and fai lin g to communicate their
message in any meaningful way. If you put
something on my door when I have asked that
you do not, you disrespect me. When you
scribble in permanent ink on somethi llg that
you do not own, you disrespect the person that
will have to clean up after your temper tan trum.

I recognize that you feel passionately about
your cause. I also recognize that the vast majorit y
of people that push for Mr. Mumia do not
co nduct themselves in this manner. Nonetheless,
those that do shape my impression of the
movement at large. If support ing Mllmia means
associating with even a sma ll min ority of Sharpie
wielding misal)thropes, I will be opt ing out. If
yo u truly want to make a positive change, you
need to temper that passion you feel with reason
and responsibility. Irq yo u create more cnemies

Frankly. eve n under the best of
circumsta nces, I would not enjoy telling my
fami ly that will be in attendance at
commencement th at a convicted cop-killer will
be speaking from death row, but now that the
governor has backed out, I cannot even tell them
that he will be a speaker; he is now the only major
speaker, not counting last minute substitutions.
And, after reading last week's CPJ, I'm supposed
to be grateful for the opportunity to do
someth ing "revolutionary." Funny; I thought
commencement was a chance for me to reflect
on the past couple of years, celebrate the present,
and consider the future. How mistaken I was;
apparently it's not about me and my experience
at all. It's all about someone else's revolution.
Silly me.
So I will go to Commencement this year,
not because of the speech by Mumia, but in spite
of it. I will sit there with my family, on the first
time that my physically handicapped and legally
blind mother has left my hometown in dose to a
decade. I'll listen to Mumia's speech; and then
I'll do my best to convince myselfand Illy family
that my time spent here was not about the
pursuit of an education. It was about one man's

- Article I, Section 5, Washington State Constitution 1889
Keynote speaker speaks
Why we protest
In the CPj of April 29, Tali Sherman-Hall
wrote a letter concerning the shootings in
Littleton, Colorado. Sherman-Hall pointed out,
"Fifteen kids died last week. Take a moment to
think about that on the way to your next rally" ostensibly addressed to those people "that seem
at times to be ready to protest at the drop of a
hat."
I just wan ted to say, I did think about
that-on my way to the Millions for Mumia
March in San Francisco, and on my way to the
weekly vigil in Olympia to protest the bombings
in Kosovo and the sanctions on Iraq. I WOll't soon
forget thc pictures of horror-stricken teenagers
that I saw in the newspaper after the shootings
ill Littleton.
But I also think it is important to sec those
shootings in context. True, 15 kids died last week
in Littleton. However, some 1.125 kids died last
week in Iraq from starvation, lark of access to
medicin e, un sa nitary water, and many other
reasons-a ll results of the economic sanctions
that our government vigorously SlIpportS. That
works out to roughly 4,500 children per month,
one every 10 to 12 minutes. In the amount of
time it takes you to leisurely peruse this week's
CPj, one more child has died.
I could go on. I'm not even going to try to
estimate how many children's lives have been
devastated or ended in the last week because of
the so-called "humanitarian" bombs that the US
military drops on Kosovo.l don't know if anyone
even knows those numbers, And, then, who
counts the lives of the other children lost in the
US? Many of those kids are of color and/or poor;
and many of them are victims of police brutality,
gri nding poverty, and institutional indifference.
Noam Chomsky, a prominent social critic,
has pointed out a number of times that we each
have a moral responsibility to consider the
human consequences of what we do. Most folks
would agree; it's basic common sense that we are
responsible for what we have control over. If I
break something that belongs to someone, I'm
accountab le for that. If I accidentally hurt
someone, I'm obligated to help him/ her.
I am responsible for those kids dyin g in
Iraq. The US gove rnment is slowly murdering the
children of an entire nation . I call do something
abo ut that, so I am obligated to act. I am
responsible {or all of those people (kids included)
tleeing bombs in Kosovo. I call do something
abollt that. so I'm acco untable if I don't. And I
am responsibl e for th e other kid s that our
government, economy, and socia l systems have
left to the wayside. I call do something about
them, so I must.
I've never protested ·'at the drop of a hat." I
don't even enjoy protesting and I doubt that I
ever will. I do it, though, because I think that we
each have to attend to the moral responsib ilities
that confront us. With a heavy heart , I mourn
those killed in Littleton. I'm left wondering what
we, as a society, can do to prevent such tragedies.
But I do know that the best way to honor them is
to work to end all murders everywhere,
particularly the ones for which I have some
responsibility.

Headline unfair to JCC
To the Cooper Point journal and Mat Probasco:
This letter regards the April 29 Cooper
Point Journal (CPJ) article concerning the jewish
Identity Workshop.
The title of the article submitted by the
Jewish Cultural Center was "Are You Jewish?" The
CPJ added "Would you like to be?" This part of
the title was printed, without our knowledge or
consultation, by the CPj staff. We teelupset,
disturbed, and helpless that our school's journal
manipulated our chosen title. We feel that the
added title conveys the messages that the
workshop is about co nversion or defining a
certain way to be jewish, These messages are in
direct opposition to the purpose of the workshop
and goals of the Jewish Cultural Center.
The jewish Cultural Center (JCC) strives to
create a community where everyone can come
together to celebrate Jewish life. The strength of
our community comes from this openness. The
jCC has worked for two years to create a
community where Judaism is associated with
multiplicity rather than focused dogma. The JCC
has absolutel y no interest whatsoever in
conversion.
The CPJ undermined and infringed upon
the JCCs goa ls by closing offour open ended title.
This gave the false impression that the JCC has
an interest in defining a correct way to be jewish
or bringing people to Judaism. In fact.Jewish Law
prohibits actively seeking converts. The JCC has
no right and would never question, trivialize or
doubt a person's chosen identity. We see jewish
identity as something personal and a life process
which is precisely what we will be exploring in
the Jewish Identity Workshop.
The CPJ was blind to the reality that there
were important issues of cultural sensitivity
surrounding the JCCs article. Jews are already a
minority: changing our words without our
co nsent only served to try to undermine th e
validity of our voice as a people. While we do not
May6,1999
believe that the CP)'s error is indicativ e of
conscious anti-Semitism, it does belie deeply
erI?bedded ignorance of who Jews are. Not only
is the CPJ (or certain members) obviously not
informed about Judaism, but the article itself was
not read in its entirety by the person who made
the change.
How to erase a false message that was
whimsically printed merely to fill up space and
distributed throughout Olympia? The power of
a newspaper is very influ ential in shap in g
people's thoughts; we do not feel that you
understood this nor took this seriously when
making the decision to add to our title. So we
can feel comfortable submitting articles again ,
you should:
1) Read the entire article
2) Contact and consult with the au thor(s) before

I returned home from a national conference on families
to find 40 e-mail messages about graduation and so I thought
. I should respond with a short note about what my
understanding was of what I agreed to do and why.
First, I was not asked to be a substitute for Mumia AbuJamal and would never have agreed to be that. Second, I
understand that Art consulted with the graduation
committee and they agreed to invite me. Again, I would
otherwise never have accepted, and this is certainly not an
honor that I sought. Third, I agree that for future selection
committees we might seek some way to get wider input. It's
Re: graffiti article
Th is letter is in response to a letter to the
CPJ appea ring in last week's issue. I wrote the
"grossly uninformed , belligerent and
misleading" graffiti article appearing two weeks
ago. This letter is to counter that claim, and point
out that AMPROK's letter was, to use his own
words, "uninformed, belligerent and
misleading. "
First ofl. to the best of my knowledge, all
of the information in the article is co rrect. I did
not misquote or misconstrue any information
that was presented in it. While it may have been
slightly biased by my own personal values (and
what media isn't affected by the reporter's
concept of the world?) I do not see how the article
itself was uninformed or misleading.
I have been working as a graffiti advocate
iII ,the community before the closing of the free
w~lls and for a long time prior to being
approached by the CPj to write an article about
it. And that's all I did ; write the article. I had
nothing to do with the photographs or captions
which accompanied it. I didn't even write the
damn headline, I apologize that AMPROK's
work was misrepresented and improperly
presented. However, I had nothing to do with
that aspect, and found his insults to me both
harmful and irritating. It seems quite
uninformed to insult and place blame upon me
in a public forum for something I had nothing
todo with.
Given, coverage of the issue was after the
fact. However, that doesn't lessen the import ance
of the issue. The community has a right to be
intormed about what is going on. And that is why
I wrote the article: to inform.
I do apologize that more credit was not
given to those at the Olympi a Film Society who
spearheaded the effort to reopen the Capitol
Theater free wall. My gratitude goes out
especially to Harry at O. F.S. However, I was
aware of the plan to reopen the free wall there a
week or two in advance of the public meeting. lt
was not out of this meeting, which I really do
think was pointless in outcome (but good in
intent). that the idea for the Capitol Theater wall
emerged, and it was misleading of AMPROK to
claim otherwise. I felt the meeting was 'pointless'
because they were still going to close the three
walls despite the "open" (?) dialogue that
occurred. His letter, which touted the meeting
as productive or something, was merely his
opinion of how it went. I thought it was stupid
and was pissed offwhen I left. And I don't have a
problem calling it like I see it.
I will not bother to counter insults about
what I know, who I know, or who I've worked
with on this issue. That's dumb. The point of the
article was to inform, not to get the whole world
to agree with me about the outcome of some
stupid meeting or to boost my ego.

a little late now to organize a vote on whether to find a new keynote
speaker, but if there is substantial opposition to my speaking
among graduating seniors I would step down. Finally, I see my role
in this as trying to express to graduating seniors, their families,
and friends the joys and challenges of what an Evergreen education
has meant and will continue to mean in their lives, I see no
contradiction between my giving such a talk and my whole-hearted
support for the students' right to have chosen a controversial
speaker and to expect him to be respectfully heard.

Having Mumia
speak is historic
Wake up! Having Mumia speak at
graduation is nationally significant.
Campus always harbors a low murmur of
criticism that student activists do not pay
attention to local issues or make a big enough
noise to achieve anything. The complicated and
long lasting work of getting Mumia Abu-Jamal
to speak at Evergreen's graduation ceremonies
is a pertinent and unprecedented action on
campus that reverberates beyond its walls to
connect to a national and international
campaign. This struggle (for let me tell you, it's
been a struggle) is two fold. 1) Recognizing
Mumia as an inspiring speaker and figure despite
his unjust conviction and sentence to death
reveals the details of his case and the appalling
prison crisis in this country. 2) The process to
bring Mumia's voice to Evergreen has exposed
the lack of respect for student voice and student
decisionmaking power on this campus.
Mumia represents th e blatant racism and
classism of the prison system. Mechanisms of
privilege rest on the social struc ture that
demonizes people of color and radical thinkers.
This man is an author and an outspoken
advocate of people's struggles in the US and all
over the world. Organizers on campus have
offered education on his case in the form of
tabling, movies, and pamphlets.
Faculty member Pete Bohmer has written
the details of the unconstitutionality of his case
in the Cooper Point Journal. The Prison Action
Comm ittee otfers immense resources on the
third floor of th e CAB available to anyone
wishing to inform themselves. Look elsewhere
if you are skeptica l, but quick, easy judgments
are the anti thesis of Evergreen learning.
Student involvement in the graduat ion
process was . inconsistent and low.
(approximately 65 of 1600 sen iors voted in the
original tally for speaker. Five chose Locke.)
However, the process in which stlldents could be
involved was also inconsistent, confusing, and
contradictory. Students on the committee voted
to choose the speaker when Locke was
mistakenly thought to have declined, but were
later told the vote was not a decision but a
recommendation. Yes, we were well organized,
and maybe we are a minority. People organizing
themselves to effect change in their daily, local
community is not a danger but a hopeful means
of li ving. A way ortife I learned at Evergreen. I
have also learned about th e feeling of brick walls
against my forehead. Whether the issue is
arming police serv ices, getting a bi-monthly
paycheck, or participating in faculty hiring or
graduation eve nts, studenb qui ckly become
disillusioned with the "participatory" process
that prefers th e look of democracy to the diflkult
action of inclusion .
-9-
May 6, 1999
Students are accllsed of having a political
agenda, but the decisions made to keep Mumia
from being the keynote speaker with an
honorarium are politically based, not based on
any democratic process. We must recognize the
hierarchy of the institution for what it is. I hope
that the future of Evergreen does not rest in the
"well-organized minority" of the administration
and their unilateral power to make decisions but
that we actually create a participatory process
that includes the power of all voices, students,
staff, and faculty in decisions that affect us.
At this point, Mumia will speak, will not
receive an honorarium, and the schoo l is
enjoying a passionate debate ofinformation and
values. Different perspectives are expected and
welcome, and I, for one, expect no two to be
exactly alike . However, some comments are
ser iously misinformed and incredibly
paternalistic. Lana Brewster from police services
declared all Evergreen students "kids in adult
bodies" who need authority like hers to guide our
hands. Maybe form~r officer Bird was also a "kid
in an adult body" mistaking his lethal weapon
for a plaything.
Politics is everyday life. Wars and cruelty do
not come to a standstill when we cross the stage
for our pieces of paper. In fact, our responsibility
as educated, critica l thinkers demands our
attention to injustice and the power of resistance.
Bringing Mumia's voice was not meant to divide
the campus. We did not wish to create an usthem or Locke vs. Mumia situation. The ugly
side of politics entered when Locke decided to
decline the offer as a result of his
alliancewith law enforcement bodies rather than
higher educat ion.
Mumia is the embodiment of celebration.
His resistance ce lebrates life and his voice
celebrates our accomplish men ts as graduates of
this institution.
We should welcome this unbelievable of
opportunity to hear his voice broadcast
across Red Square. We should recognize the
national impact such a decision can make on the
minds of graduation participants, the national
media, and the energy of Mumia supporters
around the country. I-laving Mumia speak at this
campus is a uniquc opportunity that will make
this graduation memorable. III this particular
moment of contemporary history, Mumia's
death sentence is represe ntational of the many
ills that plague this society. We as a campus can
make a direct and powerliII statement to th e
public that we will 1I0t tolerate the abuse of
authority, the racism of the death penalty, and
the censoring ofhee specrh.

enough job training to take the societal reins that a good portion
of the industrial base simply grinds to a halt. "Canada. for

Black's "great-grandfather has been a slave of African descent,"
according to Lewis. At this point, laws are passed illegalizing
all appliances and utensils containing or using fossil fuels or
chorofluorocarbons, and yet Lewis describes on page 83 how
these laws "did not have to be enforced. The people enforced
the laws." He then says that anyone who "dared" to drive a gasburning car "were set upon by the people." Lewis never explains
exactly what he means by that cryptic remark. but maybe it's
just as well. Some things should be left to our imagination.

KAOS hires new
program director
by Mat Probasco
Editor
KAOS, Evergreen's and Olympia's
comm unity radio has hired th eir Program
Director for 1999-2000. KAOS 's 27th year on
the air.
Lia Friedman, a co-coordinator for the
Women's Center, will be responsible for what
is on KAOS's airwaves nearly 24 hours a day.
Lia says she's put in applications for jobs
at National Public Radio stations across the
country, "pretty much knowing that I wasn't
going to get them because I don't have very
much experience and alot of them it has to do
with who you know, what awards you 've
gotten, what publications you've been in. I just
really wanted to get some experience."
She says her interest in radio lies in a
sense of community, that radio can pull people
together.
"My philosophy is ... that you should
wo rk somewhere that yo u love. Life is to be
enjoyed. People have jobs that they hate, you
know, it's like th at joke. Hate your job? Qui!."
