"If we don't stand up and call out their names,
the next ones will be you and I" (Alice Dimicele)
Eva Solei! Clark 217/99
Julia Butterfly
Judi Bari
You have awakened hearts around the world
Converging the self with action
A selfless union that is tremendous in momentum
Inspirational and noble
Women sJfaking from hearts grounded for the good of life
Bridg{ng the gap between humanity and ecology
Judi Bari
You called for a union of laborers and environmentalists
You gave meaning to pUlling the Earth first
A vision with power to change the world
Judi Bari
Julia Butterfly
Two powerful and wise women
Whose vision will take root and grow
Whose words will fly
When you and I reach out to one another
And all the people
To make our dreams reality
When we the people take the lead
Our lives
Our world will benefit
When we begin to see
Our struggles really aren't that different
Then we have connection, we have power
And the stereotypes will burst with the momentum
Of water breaking through concrete
A Kaiser Steel worker on strike
An Olympia Earth Firster
Voices rising at the Capital Steps
Today February 11,2:30 PM
right here right now
United for quality in our lives
Call it out , speak your mind

The members of the student government
committee aren't daunted by the apparent
apathy with which many students view their
cause.
The general consensus was that students
are simply uninterested in the current process of
wri ting bylaws for the proposed studen t
government. The bylaws provide a framework for
how the government would work. Courtney
Aiken, a member of the Committee to
Implement the United Student Government,
said that students she's talked to showed "interest
in government, but not in bylaws."
David Taylor, another committee member,
said that the bylawproces5 is "boring. It's not fun
unless you're a process nerd."
Taylor said that he and Aiken, and other
committee members Robin Lea, Ken Radin and
Kevin Moore, have spent most of the quarter
crafting the set of bylaws . which were presented
at a forum earlier this month.
The forum was sparsely attended. with
only two students in attendance, though Taylor
notes that "the two people that showed up had a
lot to say."
The students who attended suggested that
the bylaws ought to make some provision in the
new student government for representation from
various academic departments. Suggestions like
this, Taylor said, "made us slow down the
process" to consider the students' input. The
group ultimately decided that this particular
suggestion was not feasible, said Aiken. since

Noel fgnatiev spoke on·campus during the Day
ofAbsence at student and staff seminars and a
lecture. Noel is the author of How the Irish
Became White; co-editor/co-founderofthe Race
Traitor Journal (a journal of the new
Abolitionism movement); and a member ofthe
New Abolitionism Society. He has also tallght as
a professor at Harvard. Th e following is an

majors."
Taylor also notes that the group, in talking
with students, has observed more support than
opposition, and more apathy than either. He said
this was "to be expected," and that Evergreen is
no different from other colleges in this regard.
Robin Lea said that she hadn't seen a lot of
student response, but that every student she'd
talked to had "been either for it or were not aware
that there wasn't a student government." Aiken
echoed this, saying she had "talked to a lot of
people who are surprised we don't have a student
government. ..
Eve~green students have made efforts to
start up some form of student government on
three previous occasions, all of them abortive. In
1997, students voted to give it another try.
Aiken said that she expects to see "more
interest expressed when the bylaws stage is over."
She said the committee may be finished by Feb.
26. though that could change.
.
Taylor said that the committee's current
plan is to hold elections in the spring for nextfaU's
student government, then step aside.
He said that the students' interest is at the
heart of the group's aims. "The way student
input's being collected is not the most efficient,"
he said, and students are "left running around
Red Square shouting about things" after it's
already too late for their input.
He noted, however, that if apathy and
hostility do prove to be the students' overriding
reactions, their say will be the final one. "Ifit fails
and that's what they want." he said, "that's okay."
"We want in the end what the student body
wants," he said.

Committee looks ahead
Randy: Why is whiteness more of a
capitalist tool, rather than an ethnicity?
Noel: This is a very competitive country.
.and whiteness is often a tool of some parts of the
laboring group to secure an advantage to
themselves. It also serves the interests of capital,
in that it makes some of the laboring class feel
they are favored, feel a loyalty, and be willing to
accept the system which degrades and explOits
them. Like any modern society, this country is
divided into masters and slaves, and the problem
is that many of the slaves identifY as part of the
master group because they think that they are
white and enjoy the privileges of the white skin.
In that sense, I think whiteness is an instrument
of capital. I think ethnicity is an all together

concerned by the student body's lack of
involvement. He added though, that he was
impressl'd by the passion of the students who
voted for Abu-Jamal. Although Welch said he'd
had just as many students tell him they would
not be happy with Abu-Jamal as the speaker.
Since Abu-Jamal's 1982 murder
conviction, for killing a Philadelphia police
officer, underground support has rushed to have
the case retried. Abu·Jamal worked as ajournalist
in the 1970s reporting on racial discrimination,
police misconduct, and the state of housing and
education in Philadelphia. In the 19605 AbuJamal was a member of the Black Panther Party.
Welch said the decision is far from final, "'1

running graduation and wants to be sure to
adhere tn preceding year 's processes. He plans
to take time to re-evaluate the decision .
Welch is most concerned with how people
will react to having a speaker who can't attend
the event.
Yuri Koslen, a student who was part of the
voting group said he hopes Abu-Jamal can record
his speech to tape. He points out that there is a
precedent setofhavinga non-present speaker at
graduation. Previously Leonard Peltier, jailed
Native American activist, spoke via a speech read

people who enjoy the advantages and privileges
ofwhiteness, and take part in that in this society.
The signs on the old drinking fountains in the
South didn't say "colored" on one side and
"racist" on the other, it sa id "colored" and
"white." Today, whiteness as a social category is
maintained through the operation of
institutions, which on the whole are
administered by well intentioned people, who
are for the most part unaware that they are
engaged in reproducing racial oppression. That
makes it all the more effective. Children today
are tracked into different educational systems.
In the old days, the schools were overtly
segregated on the basis of race. Today, they're
segregated on the basis of tests given in the early
years, which test nothing more than the ability
to take those tests. [Racial discrimination) is
being reproduced by standards and mechanisms
that appear to be objective, but when you look
at them they are in fact not objective, but are
racially biased. The difficulty is to challenge those
institutions.
Randy: How can we train ourselves to see
these institutions? Where can we notice it
becoming evident?
Noel: It is evident all over in every
institution. Just look at any school, any
neighborhood, any job category, and see the
racial make-up, and you will almost always find
that it is not the same as the population of the
country or region as a whole. That in itself is
objective, quantifiable, verifiable data of
whiteness - that's what it means. Then you ask
yourself: How is that balance maintained? How,
for instance, is the composition of the student
body at this institution maintained? If you
investigate it you will probably find that it is not
maintained by explicit, overt discrimination
agailllit people of color. Rather, it is maintained
by a whole battery of accumulated education
whose peak is the SAT system, or having attended
good highschools or prep schools. And so the
result is an educational institution that is not
representative of the country as a whole.
Randy: What role has suburbanization
played in maintaining and upholding the idea
of the white race?
Noel: The real impetus to the development
of suburbs came in the 40's and 50's with the
development of the Federal Housing Authority
and the Veterans Housing Authority, both of
which guaranteed low mortgages and low
interest loans to fami lies seeking to purchase
homes. That, combined with the policies that
were begun under the Eisenhower
administration of essentially subSidizing the
automobile industry by expanding the
interstates, and the largest federal welfare

The Evergreen women's basketball team
closed out the home portion of its season last
weekend, and with wildly varying results. Jen
May's driving layin and three-point conversion
with three seconds left capped a furious rally
to give Evergreen a 60-57 victory Friday over
Concordia College. The celebrating was shortlived, though, as Evergreen could not overcome
a lights-out three-point shooting display by
Western Baptist University on Saturday, losing
66-48. The women are now 5-19, with one

Saturday, Feb. 27.
The lady Geoducks we re stru gglin g
mightily going in at halftime Friday nigh t, having shot just 22 percent from the field. They
had made only five shots while committing 11
turnovers, and found themselves trailing
Concordia 33-]7. An initial spark out of the
ga tes was an imperative if they wanted to climb
back into the game.
Alex Dagnoll gave them just that. registering six points and a blocked shot during an
8-0 run that cut the deficit in half at 33-25,
prompting a timeout from Concordia head
coach Paula Nirsch!. Five straight points from
Concordia's Bobbi Benson pushed the lead
back to 38-25, and the teams traded baskets
from there until Renee Kesting's layup gave
Concordia a 46-31 lead with 10:25 remaining.
The game was slipping away from Evergreen slowly, and Concordia players, perhaps
sensing this, started to playa bit lackadaisically. This would prove to be a tremendous
mistake. They got soft on defense and tentative on offense, and Evergreen made them pay.
May got everything started with back-toback threes, and Chrissie Voyles's jumper from
the corner cut Concordia's lead to 46-41 with
8:46 left to play. May was then fouled on a
three-point attempt and converted two of the
three free throws. Dagnon capped the 13-0 run
with a free throw and a layup off an assist from
May, and just like that Evergreen was down just
46-44 with 5:47 left. Two minutes later, Ever-

green got within one at 51-50 on a pair of free
throws from Dagnon. After Concordia's Sarah
Peterson hit the second of two free throws,
Evergreen looked to pull even. Did they ever.
With apologies to May, Angie Desler hit
the shot of the night with 2:07 to play, She
drove hard along the baseline and scooped in
a phenomenal reverse layup just as the shot
clock was set to expire. All of a sudden it was a
brand new ballgame, thanks to what may have
been the shot of Desler's life.
Concordia's JillJohnson was foul ed while

confidently nailed a 15-fo ot jumper off a feed
from Dagnon, but Kesting answered with a
layup, the last of her tea m-high 17 points. Indeed, she didn't even get another chance to
score, for on Evergreen's next trip down the
floor, she fouled out trying in vain to keep
Voyles from scoring on a runner. Voyles's
bucket and three-point conversion gave Evergreen its first lead since the earliest stages of
the game. With 54 seconds showing,
Concordia had lost not only the lead, but its
best player as wei!.
Concordia wasted little time getting back
on offense. Johnson drove into the lane for a
runner and was fouled by Macleod, who appeared to block the shot cleanly, at least from
the press box. Johnson made only the first free
throw, tying the score at 57 with 45 seconds to
go. After an Evergreen timeout, May's threepointer rimmed out, but Evergreen recovered
the long rebound and called timeout again,
with 16 seconds left.
"We wanted the last shot, we didn 't want
to give them another chance to score," said
Evergreen coach Rick Harden afterwards. "And
we wanted to put the ball in Jen 's hands," he
added with a smile. It was May who just two
weeks earlier had iced a win with some last secand drama.
The play was designed to isolate May at
the top of the key, with Evergreen 's taller players drawn away from the basket. "Both Alex
and Chrissie can hit an open jumper if Jen decides to dish," Harden would say. But May realized she had a smaller playe r defending her,
and her path to the hoop was essentially UIIimpeded. "No one was wide open, so I just
tried to shoot over her," May r('cou nted. Besides, the iso at the top of the k('y : that\

hard to her right. With a little dip ort he shoulde r she raised and banked in a sligh tly o1I'I.J 3 1alice la yup. She was fouled 011 the play, calmly
converted the free throw, and O I1C(, Johnson's
halfcourt heave fell har mlessly to the wayside,
it was olftcial:)en May had WOII another ga me
in the closing seconds.
She saw it a little differently, however.
"We moved the ball around well ton ight," said
May after the game. "We never got down, we
just picked up the intensity. We pulled together as a team, and that's why we won ," she
added.
Saturday night was Senior Night, marking the last game that Sara lampo, Heidi
Haynes, Desler, and Dagnon would play at
home. However, the halftime ceremony to
honor the dearly departed was just about the
only highlight, at least for Evergreen.
Western's litany of perimeter shooters went
absolutely nuts, burying nine-of-18 three-point
attempts in the first half alone, running out to
a 44-18 halftime lead. On offense, Evergreen
had no answers for Western's full court trap.
When they did break the pressure, Evergreen
was unable to convert any transition baskets.
Western's defenders were getting back on 'D'denying lanes, anticipating entry passes, forcing turnovers. Evergreen was led by Dagnon's
17 points and 15 rebounds.

Men's b-ball update
Player suspended, may miss
remainder of season
In the latest of a trying series of
adversarial circumstances, Trelton
"Tuggie" Spencer has been suspended from the team, due to a "violation of team rules, " said Evergreen
head coach John Barbee. He would
not elaborate further, saying only that
Spencer, who has already missed the
last two games, would likely miss the
season finale this Saturday, Feb , 20 ,
though he will rejoin the team. A decision has not been made as to
whether Spencer will be able to play
in the postseason game to be held
at Evergreen on Saturday, Feb . 27.
Spencer has been out of town to attend to personal matters, but will return in time for Saturday's game .
Before his suspension, Spencer
had been enjoying an all-Americacaliber season. He currently ranks
in the top 15 nationally in two offensive categories. His 22.4 points per
game ranks 15th, while his 86 percent free throw accuracy rate is good
for 12th.
Players earn regional honors
Two Evergreen players in a row
have been named NAIA regional
player of the week. Two weeks ago,
Spencer was named shortly before
his suspension after averaging 33.5
points, 6 rebounds and 3.5 steals
over two games. Last week, Chip
Griffith garnered the award after setting a school record for three-pointers in a game with a whopping nine
in last Friday's 77-60 pummeling of
Multnomah Bible College. He finished the game with 29 points.
Both Spencer and Griffith were
subsequently nominated for national
player of the week.
Only two home games remain!
Saturday's 7:30 game against
Seattle U _ is the final game of
Evergreen's regular season. The
team will honor its seniors during a
halftime ceremony. The men will then
host a playoff game on Saturday,
Feb. 27, against Western Oregon
University.

(Cultural and political analysis for Evergreen
students and other Olympia residents-in case
you couldn't tell)
Every ciyilized society in history is steered
by the prevailing public opinion of its lime , bUI
has lasted because the people within Ih ose
societies have trusted each other (and whoever's
been delegated to take charge), People also have
to be able to tru st the means by which Ih e
prevailing public opinion of the times is sirercd- i,e. the media.
At last cou nt, less than a dozen
transnational corporations own every rnaj or
network and newspaper there is. And that's bad
enough, but my research indi ca tes there's
something else at work within Ihe already
corporately-owned media as well.
As much trash as I talk about the media , al
least it can be said (with a grain of salt) that rich
people usual/ydon 't lie outrighl aboul the news
of the day since their investments depend on
accurate information. Usually what happens is
a corporately-owned network will simply waste
invaluable time lalking about the Spice Girls and
Ihe Teletubbies instead ofMumia Abu Jamal and
Leonard Peltier.
Unless you're either an empathic , class
conscious intellectual or actually in jail for a
crime you couldn't have committed, you'll never
know politically-biased imprisonment exists in
"the land of the free" if you rely solely on the
corporately-owned media for your news, and
obviously that's evil. Bul there is a difference
(albeit sligh I) between reporting about a bunch
of dolls from England while ignoring political
prisoners altogether-and outright lying.
The CIA's never had a problem with lying
about something. Hell , thai's what they get paid
Ihe big bucks wilh our tax dollars 10 do! Be it
about JFK, crack, you name it. But on page 52
of Mark Zepezaucr's book, The CIA '.I' Grealest
Hits, you can read as I have that the CIA, "owns
dozens of newspapers and magazines the world
over." Zepezauer says the CIA uses these papers
and zines, "to planl misinformation that
regularly makes it back 10 the US through the
wire services." He Ih en goes on 10 say thai, "Ihe
CIA has ew n placed agenls on guard at the wire
services, to prevent incollvenient facts from
being disseminaled.'·
Carl Bernslein, of the Woodward and
BernSlein team who exposed Nixon, revealed in
1977 Ihat "over 400 US journalisls had been
employed by the CIA," according to Zepezauer-who also said that "nearly every major US news
organization has had spooks Islang for CIA1 011
Ihe payroll, usually wi IlIlhe cooperalioll of lop
management. "
Bernstein's landmark article in '77 also
told of how the CIA (then led by tile George
Bush) tried to, "limit CongreSSional inquiry into
the matter, with claims that 'some of the biggest
names in journalism could get smeared. '" But
the CIA couldn't qu ite do it, fortunately. The
February 16th, 1996 issue of The San Francisco
Chronicle spoke of how the CIA had to adopt a
regulation in 1977 barring the practice of media
infiltration, which was "a response to a public
outcry after congressional committees disclosed
thai the CIA had had clandestine agents posing
as American journalists for decades, "
But the regulation, "does not apply to
foreign journalisls, whom the CIA still looks 10
recruit," according to Ihe Chronicl~which also
reported Ihal there's a "little-publicized provision
Ihat il [Ihe regulation] may be waived, 'with the
specific approval' of the agency's director .... "
I want to make it perfectly clear that
corporale ownership of the media is NOTsome
kind of lesser-than-two-evils alternative to the
CIA running Ihe show. As far as I'm concerned,
there's barely a microbe's worth of difference
between Big Brother and Big Business. Workerownership is the way to go, but until we get to
that point, we had better damn well practice what
Noam Chomsky called "intelleclual self-defense"
every time we view the news from now on.
Civilized societies last because their
populations can trusl one another _.. At least to
some extent. But if our news has been molested
by the Corporate Imperial Army for decades, we
had better all pray Ihe prevailing public opinion
of our time hasn't already been steered down a
dark path from which there is no escape,

Thanks, Scott and friend.
~inc('
I am puzzled by Scott Frank's attempts
to publicly debate with himself on the issue of
Satanic Ritual Abuse (SRA) in the Jan_ 14 and
Jan . 28 issues of the CPJ. Does his first letter,
or his second one represent his true position?
Are the letters an attempt at humor; more of
the nihilism Evergreen iconoclasts offer up as
an antidote to the reflexive and reactionary
rhetoric and bellefthat is the Evergreen norm?
If so, I am unimpressed,
There were indeed victims of the ritual
abuse moral panic that swept the country in
the 80'5 and 90's - those falsely accused of
the crimes.
I wonder if Mr. Scott has been in
Olympia long enough to know that we had a
case that gained international attention - the
Paul Ingram case. The Cooper Point Journal
ran a multi-part series on the case by thenstudent Chris Bader. The series was the only
good coverage of the case locally. Bader
thoroughly
debunked the authorities' case, and put it in
the context of historicwitchhunts. It was
arguably the finest piece of journalism ever
published by the CPJ.
Paul Ingram remains in prison to this
day. while the chief inquisitor, Thurston
County Sheriff Department Deputy Neil
McClanahan went on to serve as interim
director of Campus Security at Evergreen, He
collaborated with his employers in the
Evergreen administration to bring guns to the
campus security.
The Evergreen community might have
been interested in learning that the man
entrusted with the job of arming security held
such delusional ideas - but the editors of the
CPJ declined to inform them, By then they had
joined their peers in the Olympia press (and
campus and community activism) in
advancing the wild and unsupported claims of
ritual abuse.
It's odd that the issue that provoked such
upheaval has been forgotten, for the most part.
Even the people who most vocally proclaimed
their victimhood have constructed new
personal narratives, now presenting
themselves as victims of unnamed and
imagined foreign wars, or as aggrieved sex
workers,
In the meantime, the falsely accused try
to rebuild their lives, or languish in jail, I expect
all of this to be of little interest to Greeners,
who generally like to beat their chests and
proclaim their support for putative political
prisoners incarcerated in, say, Philadelphia,
but who support false accusations when it's
closer to home_ There are still women
imprisoned at Purdy, in separate cases, on false
SRA accusatio~s who would love to tell you
their story, and have your support. They have
been ignored,

opened the door to the dialogue which eventually
led to campus police arming.
I am not opposed to an officer being armed
in such a situation, It makes sense- the medics
don't want to be there if there's a risk of them
being knifed by someone who also slashed a
student, for instance. And an armed officer
would be present anyway-it just w<?uldn't be a
TESC cop. In fact , I would rather that it be a
TESC officer there than the TCSO-TESC cops
know our students, they are used to dealing with
th em, and they're known and generally liked on
campus, Dollars to doughnuts, a TESC officer
can defuse a situation involving one of our
students more effectively than a Thurston
County deputy.
Nonetheless, in light of Ihe incidents
involving the misuse of weapons on campus, I
Ihink that it is only fair for the dialogue to be
reopened
concerning
under
which
circumstances campus police may be armed.
According to Chief Huntsberry, an officer al
Police Services' headquarters can respond to an
incident anywhere on campus in under three
minutes. It seems to me that it would be possible
to keep a weapon at Police Services'
headquarters-under lock and key-where il
would remain "until such time as it is needed,"
The medics can't make it to campus that quickly
anyway-anCi it's my understanding that there's
always an officer on patrol , and an officer at the
station on backup.
Guns have already caused too much trouble
on campus, If an officer has a gun, he or she has
the option to use (or misuse) it-an~ may be
more inclined to solve a problem quickly and
violently than to engage in a dialogue and defuse
a situation peacefully. Furthermore, I think that
it is armed officers in bullet-proof cars which has
led to the confrontational "state of war" in
America between police and the citizens they're
supposed to be protecting. Wars always
escalate--what next, bazookas and tanks? Such
a scenario may not be far off in Los Angeles, but
this is a peaceful college campus. Why should
we start down that road, and make the same
mistakes?
Let's stop this madness before someone is
killed or badly injured. Evergreen is no place for
guns.

Steven Gill asserted in his Jan. 28 letter to

police.
Actually, the arming of police officers has
arguably been less safe to the Evergreen
community than them being armed. Already,
there have been incidents of firearms both
carelessly used, and used in violation of campus
procedures, One officer has already resigned as
the result of weapons-related allegations.
Additionally, Police Services did not seek
approval to carry weapons with officer safety as
the primary motive. They claimed that student
safety was more at issue ,
In my discussions both with Steve
Huntsberry (the TESC police chief) and with
various faculty members prior to my gun prolest
last year, the primary reason given for arming
police officers was that an armed police officer
must be present during medical assists.
Previously, when Medic One responded to an
incident involving an injury, the Thurston
County Sheriff's Ollice responded with an armed
officer. However, TCSO informed the TESC
police that they could no longer guarantee a
prompt response for medical assists. This

Butlerfly proves th cse words to us by merging herself with this symbo l, by placillg her

Early in her stay, she describes a time when the sleet and the hail were so intense
that she had to rol e caterpillar like in her tarp ill an attempt tu keel-' out some orthe rain .
She describes one stormy lIight early in her stay where she listen ed to the tree Luna, who

of environmentalists, it is time lor us to stand to stand up and stay that we are one group

As long as our society continues to
look upon STDs as punishment
for people who have casual sex, STDs
will be hard to talk about,
much less eradicate. In Western
culture, this goes back a long way.
Even before sexual nature was
understood, syphilis and gonorrhea
were considered just punishment for
blasphemy.

Miyamoto moves her grains of
sand, and helps build a mountain
by Whitney Kvasager
Staff writer
In the circle of oneness. there is no first
and there is flO last. " - Nobuko Miyamoto
The ideas of multiculturalism and
racism overwhelmed me last week. The
more my class discussed them. the more
they
grew
to
enormous
and
unmanageable proportions in my mind.
What could I possibly do to combat
injustice? How could I possibly effect
change? Even if I did know the answers to
those questions. what difference would it
make?-I'm only one person. This was the
content of my mind when I went to see
Nobuko Miyamoto perform her one woman show "A Grain of Sand ."
The show chronicled Miyamoto's life
as intimately as if she were telling a story
to a friend . She employed dance and song
as well as spoken word to describe the
events which shaped her life in a way that
varied the tempo of her story and gave the
audience moments to reflect on her
messages. From her parents' experience
in the 1920s to her experience of the Los
Angeles riots. Miyamoto made it clear
that race relations have been an issue
throughout history. She also made it
clear that change does begin on a one
person level. In order for a movement of
unified people to begin, each person
involved must be wilhng to undertake
changing themselves and following what
they see is the truth. In her depiction of
the 1960s, Miyamoto described using
music as a tool to invite racial awareness.
"Music could help make change ... We·ve
got to sing our song- so what if nobody
else is listening?" This message of hope
was woven throughout "A Grain of Sand,"
After the show, Miyamoto sat on the
edge of the stage and invited questions
from the audience. Among other topics,
was
discussed.
mu lticulturalism
"Multicu lturalism-now the so-ca lled
accepted phrase-is not as easy as many
people would like to th ink it is. It's a long
process to make it work. Gandhi sa id.
'Finding unity in diversity is the challenge
of our time ...· Miyamoto said.
It seemed incredible to me that
someone could be honest in describing
horrific events like the Japanese
internment camps. yet retain an
optimistic out look. I think this was the
most important message with which I
came away from "A Grain of Sand:" To be
honest about the past but rema in hopeful
about the future. Perhaps with this in
mind. one can combat injustice and effect
change without feeling overwhelmed.
Rigl"")t: Nobuko Miyamoto smiles after
he r successfu l performance and
discussion with the audience.
Mike Alexitz's "Global Visions"
First drag show a flaming success
by Meagan O'Conner
Contributing writer
The library was packed last Friday night
for the Evergreen Queer Alliance's presentation
of "Cafe Ie Drag." the first drag show that was
ever put on at Evergreen, and the first one that
I had ever seen. 'rhe show was set up in a casual
"cabaret style," with the audience sitting arollnd
small .tables, thollgh thc turnout was so high
that the chairs quickly ran out. and the audien((~
spilled over into the aisles. All ufthe numbers
in the show were dallcing and lipsynching
routinl:s, broken up by short skitsfeaturing the
show's hosts, a comic drag duo who were
watching the ac ts while the flamboyant female
w?s trying to hook up with the somewhat
clueless male. These interludes were the best
parts of the show according to some audience
members, though the musical acts were the real
body of t he show.
There were both solo and group
performances, with music ranging from ZZ Top
to the Beastie Boys. The numbers invo lved
dancing, of course. plenty of skin, and plenty
of teasing the audience with whips. feather boas
and such. One of the most fun acts was an
appropriate rendition of Rocky Horror's "Sweet
Transvestite." It <llmost felt like being at the
movie theater, with the film playing in the
background while the actors performed up
front, and the audience lovingly shouting their
lines back at the screen. Another of the evening's
highlights was a performer who was not even
in drag, but rocked nonetheless. I'm talking. of
course. about Evergreen junior Caroline Hill, a
belly dancer since the age of 15. who helped out
with the show, though not in men 's garb.
The costumes in these acts. as well as all
the others. were fabulous. and the performers
were confident. energetic and. most
importantly. seemed to be completely
comfortable with whatever they were doing and
were defiantly having fun with it.
The audience reaction to the show was for
the most part positive. "Everyone was getting
into it." noticed TESC student Jed Finderup. The
audience, in general, did seem to be liking what
they saw, and some of the audience even came

pretty damn good, I must say). Not all the
audience was completely satisfied.
however. Some people were a bit
offended by some of the more blatant
sexual scenes. and told me they felt the
scenes could have been don e more
tastefully. Others, such as students Mary
Dimniick and Claire Patoine, thought the
show was great, but "cxpected a little
more variety" in the scenes. They agreed.
along with many other audience
members, that the show may have been
too repetitive. and would have enjoyed

seeing more acting skits and comedy. or
perhaps more of a fashion show.
"I thought the show was well
presented. and it looked like they put a
lot of effort into it, " commented Jed
later. He was right. according to
performer Holly Shackelford. who said
that the show was the culmination of
months of work.
I think hcr sentiments arc the
same as the rest of the performers and
most of the audience: that the show was
a success, and that their hard work
definitely paid off.
