I'm not a stranger, I'm your daughier
and you have to ask me why did I cut them

Broadway Avenue is
probably the most queer-friendly
street in Washington. So when
Andrea Taubman, a student here,
was walking there with her
girlfriend a couple of weeks ago,
the last thing she expected was
harassment.
"I can't believe how many
fucking faggots there are on this
street," said a man passing by. He
was 6'5, his head was shaved, and
he was wearing all black. And he
was promptly joined by six of his
friends.
Although they were addressing
another couple, Taubman met his
gaze.
"What are you looking at,
cunt?" the man hissed.
Not wanting to start a fight,

Taubman simply looked at him.
The group then got into a car and
drove away.
"I thought he was going to
beat the shit out of us," said
Taubman.
Last week, this hatred came
to Evergreen in the hands of a
chalk artist who didn't mean any
harm .
Students arriving to school
last Thursday were greeted with
three ambiguous chalk drawings
in Red Square. The art said such
things as: "hate thy neighbor,
Karzak Killz Kweerz" under the
cartoon drawing of a frowning
cross.
"I'm sorry I scared people as
much as I did," said the artist, a
student here named 'Babylon,'
"the reaction was a lot greater
than I'd expected."

Candle-holders speak out
by Michael Selby
Staff writer
Reporter's note: Speakers are
identified only as they clrose to
identify themselves, if they spoke
without naming themselves, no
name is cited with the quote.
A sea of candle flames glowed
through the trees last Friday night
for a two-hour candlelight vigil.
Sylvester Park was the gathering
place for Olympia 's response to the
death of Matthew Shepard. Anna
Schlecht, a representative for Black
Hills Alliance and Unity in the
Community, Stop Hate Crimes
Now!, and Ri Sullivan, a student
coordinator for Evergreen Queer
Alliance, were the evening's
facilitators and their respective
organizations were the sponsors.
"A hate crime is a crime against
us all," said Sullivan in her
introductory welcoming speech.
After Sullivan and Schlecht greeted
the crowd, the bullhorn was used as
an open mic upon the gazebo steps.
"It doesn't matter whether
you're gay or not , and it doesn't
matter if you're black or noL People
feel bad about saying nigger but not
faggot." sa id one of the night's first
speakers_ He opened the floodgates
as oth ers lin ed up to address th e
crowd.
"I can't see how those hateful
words could come out of the mouth
ofjesus Christ and Ican't see Buddha
saying bigoted jokes," one vigil
participant sa id .
Some felt that along with
religion, government should not be
blamed: "Hate is an individual
crime, it doesn't come from the state,
but individuals," said Nancy.
One individual later that night
took to the gazebo steps and shouted
at the crowd, "For all the people here
tonight, may God have mercy on
you."
The crowd was visibly stunned
and caught unaware. Amid the
confusion, Gabi Clayton addressed
the gathering. Three years ago, her
son was beaten because of his
sexuality which led to his subsequent
suicide. Recently, Clayton helped
defeat Senate Bill 5167 "an act
relating to prohibiting schools from
presenting homosexuality as
positive, normal behavior." Some of
the evening's speakers would have
been affected by SB 5167, had it
passed.
"I go to a school where my
friend was kicked in the head for
being my friend after I came out to
my school," one speaker said_
"I think about all the times I've
called lovers 'friends' and so we need
to make sure to correct people all the
time,'· said another.
Others spoke about their
anger: "Only 500 out of about 3800
Olympians showed up, I'm terrified
that there aren't more people here,"
said Kim Burden.
"Our fear is disabilitating, our
anger is productive," told another
speaker, who was visibly shaking.
Jerome Johnson said, "When
racist skinheads walk our streets,
when people beat women, when our
children need an education , and
when people walk down -the street
holding the hand of a loved one, we
will be there!" He also thanked the
police for being there, but
apparently unbeknown st to
Johnson, the police were not present
in any official capacity. However,
present in force were the children of
attending community members many in strollers.
Other speakers' comments
included:
"Thank you for bringing your
children and educating them_"
"Your being here helps break
'down the us versus them syndrome
destroying this cOllntry."
One of the night's final
speakers, Sarah from Yeim, with a
waver in her voice said, "Thank each
and everyone of you for being my
family and my role .models. "

Student activist threatened
"If you're done being mad, you can start to be scared"
by Mat Probasco
Editor in chief
On Wednesday Oct. 15
Evergreen students demonstrated in
front of the CAB in response to the
killing of gay University of Wyoming
student Matthew Shepard. The
message was that homophobia and
abuse happens at Evergreen
everyday. The following morning
bizarre chalk drawings appeared in
the very spot the demonstration was
a day before. The drawings stated
"Karzak Kills Kweerz". A few hours
later Facilities erased the drawings.
By Thursday afternoon signs
warning of possible KKK presence
were up and students were holding
an open dialogue on Red Square
accompanied by a bull-horn. One of
those students was Sebnem Pura.
Sebnem had demonstrated the
day before, confronted the chalker,
helped make the warning posters, and
now was shouting through the bullhorn that "it's everyone's issue, and you
don't have to be queer to participate."
Her comments were not met with
unconditional understanding. "Some
people were laughing and making
stupid comments. I was mad in the
mic. These people were pissing me off."
After the rally she spotted three guys
laug hing at the signs she made . When
Sebnem confronted them they said
they "were sick of the Evergree n
bullshit," and "tired of angry dykes at
school. " Then one of the men began to
walk at her in a confrontational
manner that sent Sebnem illto retreat.
Around noon on Friday.
Sebnem discovered her Hotmail email account had been bombed with
200 identical e-mails. The subject line
was "Die". When she opened the e-

The Dirty Four
by Nichol Everett
Staff writer
"Th~ Arctic National Wildlife Refuge
cannot WIthstand the kind of punishment
routinely dished out by BP, Arco, Exxon, and
Chevron," states Richard Myers ofWashPIRG
during a press conference last week. Myers and
several other Greeners braved the downpour
to present a nationwide report in front of the
BP station on Division and Harrison. The
report, "The Dirty Four: The Case Against
Letting British Petroleum, Arco, Exxon, and
Chevron Drill in the Arctic Refuge," explains
the consequences of allowing these
corporatIOns to drill in the refuge. Joined by
ex-Greener, Chris Stearns of the Washington
State Free Burma Coalition, Myers gave a
strong account of the atrocious environmental
records of these companies:
In 1994, British Petroleum was
resp?nsible for the second largest oil spill in
Cahforllla hIstory. The spill resulted in twenty
square miles of Huntington Beach, California
covered by 400,000 gallons of oil.
Explosions and fires at Arco facilities have
resulted in twenty eight deaths,
The Exxon Valdez oil spill was the worst
ecological disaster in U.S, history. Ten years
later, most ~ildlife populations affected by the
spill show httle or no signs of recovery.
.
In May of 1992, Chevron pled guilty to
SIXty five vIOlations of the Clean Water Act, and
paid eight million dollars in fines.
These are The Dirty Four.

Viva Paz, Viva Chavez! Students chanted
fO.r peace and equality on Thurs., Oct. 15 along
WIth Dolores Huerta, co·founder of the United
Farm Workers. While many people focus on
Cesar Chavez as THE historical leader in
Chicano/farm·worker rights, many ignore his
stIll IIvlllg, and equally important partner,
Dolores Huerta.
St ill active at 68 years old, Huerta
spoke of when Chavez had first approached her
when sh.e was just a teenager working in the
fields. ( havez, hke most other farm workers,
only had an 8th grade education. Speaking of
the great conflICts they encountered, that the
owners were too rich , too powertlll. too racist.
Huerta said , "We never believed that we could
actually start a national union. " But they did
have success: "At one time we had 100,000
members under contract, but that was before
Nixon," she lamented.
These workers, who feed us, that pick our
food, are treated like serfs-they are a landless
people working the great fields of Californian
agri?usiness. Similar to the Bracero program
instituted for W. W.ll in 1942, Senator Riley is
trying to pass a bill that would bring in 100,000
MeXIcan workers undercontract. The contract
would prevent them from organizing or
speakmg out, as they could easily get deported.
On the farms, many landowners continue to
use this as a threat. "Sure, if you want to

complai~ go ahead but the INS might hear
about It. Dolores spoke of other ways to quiet
the workers, mentioning strawberry worker
women that are pulled out of the fields, raped,
and ordered to catch up with their work load .
Many women keep the children they bear of
landowner lineage for job security. Strawberry
workers are routlllely beaten by hired thugs.
In 1983, unIOn-member Jose Lopez was
assasslllated for running in the local union
election on his ranch.
The strawberries that one finds in the
supermarket, even in your co-op, have
proba bly been picked by the hands of workers
that get up at 4 a.m. and don't finish in the
fields until after 7. These are fields in which
for every acre of strawberries, 200 lb . of
pesticides are used each day. In addition to
these chemicals, body waste and sewage are
trequent due to inadequate toilets and
irrigation systems.
After much chanting, Huerta left and two
speakers from PCUN took the mic. They spoke
about local opportunities to get involved
through internships and accompaniments,
about theIr boycott on Norpac, a distributor
of Gardenburger brand vegi-burgers and the
parent company of Flav-R-Pac. They have
already gotten seven local businesses to stop
carrying Gardenburgers. They spoke about
how Norpac refused to meet with PCUN. The
most important message they emphasized was
that one is always political through the
consumer choices they make, and to be aware
of the products one endorses.

It was late and outside it was dark with
clouds overhead and a dense layer of mist
rolling around the ground, but I was inside the
warmly lit housing community center
surrounded by the smell of coffee and a quiet
l1um of conversation.
My roommate and I went there to play
pool with all the other kids who were
procrastinating on a Sunday night.
I was leaning up against the table and this
guy my roommate was playing went around
me to take his shot.
Only he didn't just go around me.
He rubbed himself slowly across my
backside. It probably only took a second but
in that short time red flags, buzzers and
flashing lights alarmed in my head.

Hey!
In a split second I recoiled from him,
muffling my internal alarm with oops, he

"WHAT THE HELL? GET AWAY FROM
ME!"
He came across on my left, grinning,
"What?"
"Knock it off] What the hell do YOIl think
you're doing, rubbing up against me? That
WILL NOT happen again!"
"What are you talking about? It won't."
"It shouldn't have happened the first
time. Don't do it again!"
"Who would want to with you?" He
missed his next shot landing the eight-ball
instead.
I racked the balls for the next game and
my roommate asked what was up. It occurred
to me that neighed my roommate, nor my
friend working at the Midnight Fix, nor any of
the other handful of people in the room had
probably noticed what he had done.
I told her and we played, but my mind
was not on the game. He sat in a nearby chair
staring at me. I soon lost and decided to leave
but first I had to collect my stufffrom the chair
beside him.
"Hey, what are you saying about me?"
I told the sick bastard that I wasn't
sticking around to watch a pervert-boy play
pooL I demanded an apology for what he did
but he insisted that, as the target of my namecalling, it was hewho deserved an apology.
Anyway, those are the facts.
Overreaction?
I don't think so because I know it was
deliberate. I was there; it happened to me.
But it's not that big of a deaL
Hell yeah it is!
My space is my space. If I came home to
see some stranger helping himself to the food
in my refrigerator, or hanging out in my car,
I'd call the police! You think that's a pretty
normal reaction, don't you? Well, cars and
apartments are inanimate, unfeeling objects.

space is sacred space.
I am not a man-hater; I have brothers and
many male friends who I love and would trust
to stand up for me in a situation like this.
But they weren't there and I was. That's
why its important for women to trust their
instincts and to stand up for themselves.
Ladies, we know the difference between
someone brushing by and someone rubbing
up.
This guy tried three ways of denying
someone brushing by and someone rubbing
up.
This guy tried three ways of denying he
had done anything wrong:
"What? Huh?" Playing stupid.
"Who would want to with you?"
Implying I wasn't good enough for him.
"You owe me an apology." As though I
was the victimizer.
(I seriously wonder if this guy has had a
lot of practice at sexual harassment, or if he's
just some sort of prodigy in manipulative
behavior.)
Ladies and gent lemen, trust your
instincts, not someone else's perception of
what happened, If someone's too close tell
them to back off. If someone tells you to back
off, do it, no matter what.
We both know who you are, pervert-boy.
Am I being too hard on you? Not telling it like
it was? Do you have anything to say for
yourself? My name's already in print; let's see

Steve Huntsberrv:
We are writing WIth regard to a recent
series of threats which have been made upon a
fellow student, Ms. Sebnem Pura. The threats
made upon Ms. Pura consisted of200 e-mails
threatening "die Pura, " and a note was slipped
beneath her dorrr.itory door reading "if you are
done with being mad, you can start getting
scared." Direct ly after these incidents
occ u.rred, Ms. Pura contacted your office
requesting your help and attention. Since she
notified your office, Friday the 16th (regarding
the e-mails) and Monday the 19th (regarding
the note), she has received little or no
information regarding the investigation and
your office has made no follow up concerning
her safety. When Ms . Pura came to you
requesting information on the investigation
(Tuesday October 20th, four days after the email had been received) you (Old her that the
source of the e-mai l was "going to be
investigated." She has not heard from you
since . ,.... s a result of this . we . concerned
students of the Evergreen commun Ity .
approach you with a list of questions and
demands. We fome to you, as Chief of police
services, with these concerns to ask you to take
this matter seriously. We rely upon YOll for our
safety and security: when one of our fellow
sllIdents is being harassed and you do nothing,
we are concerned for the satety not only of
members of the Evergreen community, but
visitors as welL
Our questions:
• What has been done wit h the note
which was slipped under her door? Have
fingerprints been taken?
• What progress has been made
regarding the e·mail?
• Have the neighboring students of Ms.
Pura's dorm been contacled and questioned or
notified?
• Do you have on tile an official report
written or recorded by Ms. Pura herself?
• How many times have you initiated
communication with Ms. Pura since she
attempted to make a tirst report?
• Have you made any official efforts to
conlact the statf and students regarding
campus safety?
We are making these demands based upon the
information that we have received from your
office, which leads us to the conclusion that you
have failed to take any action.
Our demands:
• Increased surveillance of housing Daily
contact with Ms. Pura
• Warn students and staff o. events
occurring on campus which affect the entire
community
• Take fingerprints trom note received

• Question affected dorm residents
• Notify RAs and pertinent Housing staff

information
Men missed the point of event
I am writing in response to the two
photographs in the paper last week of the event
"Behind the Walls" when Katie Koestner spoke,
;-..Jot to my surprise both photographs depicted
the male bonding that took place while Katie
spoke. For those who were not at the Oct. 8
event, it was an open miL event, where many
Greeners spoke out against sexual assault and
racism. Following the open mic, national guest
speaker Katie Koestner. a date rape survivor,
spoke to students. During her talk she
challenged men to take a stand against rape.
Shortly after this challenge, while Katie was in
the middle of her story, a man walked up to
the stage, reached out his hand for the
microphone and said "Rape is wrong." He
then questioned the other men in the audience
why they couldn 't take a stand. All of the
sudden, the stage was bombarded with men
passing the mic around saying "Rape is wrong"
(might I add that some of the tones in the men's
voices were quite condescending).
So the two pictures the CPJ chose to print
in the paper last week were of the forty men
who stood up, rushed the stage, and said "Rape
is wrong." Though I believe that the first man
was sincere in his gesture and does believe rape
in wrong, I question the other 39. Statistically,
if 1 in 4 women will be raped in her life time,
how many men are rapists? Looking up at the
stage. my stomach turned. All I could think
was: How many men up there have assaulted a
woman? Why can men only take a stand
against rape when there are 39 other men
saying it with them? Why can't men listen to a
woman talk for more that twenty minutes
without interrupting her?
What choice was there, for the men in the
audience, who did not want to participate in
what one of my male friends called a "penis
party?" If they remained seated, were they
condoning rape with their silence? If they
joined the "penis party," they were taking the
microphone away from our guest speaker.
The wor~t 'Jart of the whole scene· was
looking around, and seeing at least ten women
walk out, never to return to hear Katie tinish
speaking. I am going to guess that at least one
of the women left because she was assaulted
by one of the men on the stage. That is just a
guess.
So I ask the CP] why they chose two pictures
of the "penis party," and not one of Katie
Koestner, our guest speaker, a woman'! And I
challenge the 40 men who were brave enough
to take a stand against rape, to attend the next
Men's Center meeting and do something
about ending rape!
By bringing our concerns to ;ou we hopt· ,h<l'
you recognize the significance of your inart .011
We fear for the safety of ourselves and nllr
friends.

Cecil, Covington
Dear Cecil,
Said articles of clothing are rare to come
across, but do exist. However, they are not ,
strangely enough, extraterrestrial in nature.
Television series like "The Greatest
Americ~n Hero," "Captain America ," "The Six
Million Dollar Man ," and "The Bionic
Woman" (who we later learned was not "The
Six Million Dollar Woman" because of poor
gender relations and was only worth seventy
cents on the dollar of what her male
counterpart was) were, in reality, an attempt
by the government to test·market and
familiarize the public with new varieties of
super-soldiers developed by the Federal
Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)which is really the secret "government within
the government" everyone's always going on
about) to handle extreme situations.
But declining ratings showed that the
public reacted poorly to super-powered tools
of oppression and the program was canceled.
FEMA later tried to revitalize the idea with
"Misfits of Science," but it went over like a lead
balloon.
If you do still want these sorts of powers,
Cecil, I suggest you scope out your local thrift
store-these suits may still be out there. But
buyer beware, I once bought what I thought
was a trans-neural mind control field

Dear Jared,
*Sigh* It pains me to see just how little
attention the youth of today actually possess.
Yes, Jared, I have conquered the world.
Three or four times, now, in fact, (See previous
editions of "Ask Dr. Cerebrus" for details.) For
example:
It was what , the .. .Iate forties? Early
the Cooper Point Journal
tifties? Anyway, I'd cornered the relatively new
market of solid·rocket engines. I had massive ,
massive rockets of these sorts, disguised as a
chain of 24-hour doughnut shops, all around
the perimeters of several major world cities and
attached to the underground water/sewage
piping systems of each.
When launched, the rockets uprooted
the piping systems and, acting like giant nets,
lifted the major sections ofthese cities high into
orbit.
Now with most of their politicians and
business leaders floating several hundred miles
above them, the citizens of Earth had little
choice but to bend to my will, I was even able
to ransom the orbiting population for a tidy
sum. That turned out to be a mistake.
When I arrived in the space cities with a
rescue rocket, President Truman cold-cocked
me, took my ship and saved the remaining
people, stranding me in orbit. It took me the
damnedest time to figure out how to get back,
So,Jared, if you're watching the night sky
some time and you see a moving light that you
think is a satellite, look closer-it may in fact be
an old piece of Washington DC, London,
Moscow, Tokyo or Beijing.
PS If anyone mails me with one of those
annoying cyberism faces again, they will suffer
dire consequences.

Dear Regina,
As a matter offact, for the better part of
a century now, South Carolina Senator Strom

It all started back in 1925 when I wa~

didn't seem to mind that I was only a brain in

That is, until this young upstart Thurmond
comes along and steals her right out from

"He's just a brain," he said to her. ''Come
away with a REAL man like me! Ngyeh heh

effect.)

THREATS
continued from cover
he Forest Access Facility
by Michelle Snyder
Interim Features editor
They say you can't judge a book by its
cover, but can you judge a tree by its roots?
Probably not. Up until now, most folks have
thought that trees roots grew underground,
and forests were mainly appreciated for the
timber they provided. Now, faculty member
Nalini Nadcarni wants the public to discover
what they consider to be a vast and largely
unexplored area, Trecs,
For tilt last two years, Nadkarni and
other members of th e TESC cOllllllunity
have been proposing a project called Forest
Access Facilities, The facilities are viewed as
a "'lIlil'ersa lly accessible sys tem of canopy·
Icvcl \\'alkwal'S linking existing c~mp us
, trlll'tur e ~ with below grollnd tunllels," by
"d in i :';adkarni , Project Director
"Scientist and
researchers around the
world are starting to
realize the critical role
forests play in the
diversity, resilience and
functioning of their
ecosystems," Nadkarni
wrote in a recent
report.
"Scientist and researchers around the
world are starting to realize the critical role
forests play in the diversity, resilience and
functioning of their ecosystems," Nadkarni
wrote in a recent report.
If successful, these efforts would lead
to the implementation of a series of canopies
(specia l walkways) that would be accessible
to both science students and the general
public. The facility would also serve as an
educat ional resource for K-12 schools and
commu nity groups and would also promot e
active tea ching and learning about the
forest.
"I support anything that furthers my
observation . The walkway was also intended
for use by non-science students, to provide a
three-dimensional perspective from which to
create art and reflective writing,
During the summer of 1997, Nadkarni
carried out a preliminary study to explore the
academic and extracurricular uses of the
facility" investigate potential obstacles of the
project and initiate design and logistics with
input from professional consultants.
Last march, Nadkarni met with several
deans and Developmental staff to discuss longterm strategies. At the meeting, it was decided
that she should pursue funding for planning
and program development purposes, Planning
efforts that were deemed most important were
to determine and document: 1) the level of
"broad-baseness" of support for academic
programs 2) costs to create and maintain the
facility; 3)site impacts of the strict and 4)
potential eternal funding sources for the
project.
CHALKING
continued from cover
"Hhe art l was a threat ," said Sullivan.
"When he explained it, it took the fear away,
but that didn 't change the anger. So we didn 't
call off the rally." The group around 'h e
chalking spoke the students who were
gathered in Red Square. Most of the messages
were conflicting, talking of anger and of hope.
"This is a reminder of a constant
problem that isn't going away." said Rozey
Catania, a first-year student, "it will only make
us fight longer, harder, and stronger."
"I was glad that I caused the impetus for
something to happen ," Babylon said of the
rally. "I mean, even though Evergreen is one
of th( most tolerant places, there's still queer
bashing here, So things need to keep on
happening."
Perhaps the most moving moment was
when a group of visiting high school students
got up to join the rally,
"It was really touching," Sullivan said,
"to see these kids standing up and speaking,
It gave me hope."
The art, according to Babylon, wasn't
me<\nt to frighten anyone. The cross was
supposed to be a character named Karzak,
who is "a representation of hypocrisy in
Christianity." But to the students who first
saw it without explanation, it was hate crime,
and a ratly was sparked by the pieces'
implications.
"I didn't like the presentation of his art,"
said Sebnem Pura, a student present at the
rally, "If he wanted to express himself, he
should have done it differently. IWhen
confronted by the crowdl he just got scared
and changed his mind."
Ri Sullivan, a student coordinator for
the EQA (Evergreen Queer Alliance), was also
disturbed by the arl. She said, "He wasn't
thinking about the impact of his actions, It
sounded like he had good
motivation, but he should
have thought it through,"

education. But before we invest more money in
new and non· necessary structures, we should
budget the money that we do have in the right
places. That needs to come first," said social
science student David Taylor. In talking with
severa l other non-science students the CPJ
learned that they were supportive of the plan but
did not understand where facility funding would
come from.
Fortunate ly, the facility planners have
sought funding from various philanthropic
foundations and potential corporate sponsors,
This means that Evergreen students and faculty
can only benefit from the implementation of the
facility. So far, over $10,000 has been received as
part of the grant from th e National Science
Foundation, a Professional Opportunities in
Research and Education Grant Supplement.
In 1996, Nadkarni voiced an interest in

out a copy and, with a friend, walked it over
to Police Services. She then left town for the
weekend on a previously planned trip.
When she returned on Sunday,
Sebnem spent the night at a friend's house.
Although she thought the threats might have
been "someone just being stupid," she
admits to being a little "freaked out."
By Monday she hadn't heard from the
police yet and sought out her faculty for
consultation. The faculty was Mary Craven,
Coordinator of Sexual Assault Prevention
Education and 5&A Advisor. Craven called
TESC Police Services Chief Steve Huntsberry, "I
didn't doubt that they were taking it seriously,"
said Craven, adding that she just wanted them
to share what they were finding out.
Sebnem stayed away from her dorm all
day, but by around 7 p.m. thought that staying
away was an over-reaction, "I thought, this is
silly. No one is going to kill me." Returning
home for the first time since receiving the emails, Sebnem rushed in, quickly changed her
clothes, and was on her way out when she saw
a note that presumably had been slid under
the door. In small print it read', "Ifyou're done
being mad, you can start to be scared,"
Shaking and crying, Sebnem ran out of
her house frantically looking for a friend to
again escort her to Police Services. Another
friend had called Craven and by the time
Sebnem got to Police Services Craven was
again on the phone with Huntsberry. After
filing another report, Police Services gave
Sebnem a ride home. Since then she has not
stayed a night at home and has only returned
there once to retrieve some essentials.
On Tuesday, Sebnem suffered what she
called a major anxiety attack, "I feel scared,
violated, and angry," she added, "I don't know
how they tracked me down to my dorin room ,"
Housing offered to give her a special dorm
room and a cell phone in case of an emergency.
Sebnem still isn't convinced tha t the two
threats aren't unconnected, and thinks there is
a possibility they could be a joke, Nonetheless,
her life is currently in turmoil. She can't stay at
home and is unable to do her school work, "I
don't want people to think stufTIike this doesn't
happen at Evergreen, because it docs."

finally opened on Nov. 11, 1997.
The gym set in the old racquet ball court
is a visually confusing site at first: an over
hang here and an out crop there. A thousand
colorful holds (fake rocks bolted to the wall)
ranging in size and shape from that of your hip
bone to the first joint of your thumb are
scattered in what seems a helter skelter pattern
along the textured walls. After a brief
discussion with the volunteer gym supervisor
you will begin to see there is indeed order to
the colorful chaos. By following the colored
tabs laced on various holds you find many
planned routes up and along the walls.
For those who have never even climbed a
ladder, the gym supervisors can get you started
scrambling
around safely in
about
ten
minutes. For a
small fee of one
dollar you can rent
a snug pair of
climbing shoes
and there are a
limited number of
climbing
harnesses
available. Besides
climbing around
in the "cave" there
are at least three
routes on the lower
end
of
the
dift1culty rating,
which goes from
5.0 being the
easiest to 5.14 the
hardest currently
known possibility.
The routes are set
up by those who
use the gym so
some can be fairly
complicated.
Beside doing the set routes you can play various
games. One of which is Add·On. You, the
climber, and anyone in the gym just get
together and start with two holds. Then each
person picks one hold from the countless
choices and adds it to the sequence. Starting
off quite slow the game builds until on of the
climbers peels off the wall. you can then try
something new or go soak your any forearms.
Add· on is a great way to get to know the gym
and the people who use it.
Starting off its second year with a few
changes that make the gym a bit more
assessable though access can be a bit elusive.
Climbing gym hours as it stand right now are
completely reliant on volunteers who donate
their time to staff the gym. In return for thier
time the supervisors get half price on
quarterly memberships and full unscheduled
access. The gym hours are posted at 866·6000
ext. 6530 rather than in print because they are
subject to change. Cory Meador said that there
will bE more supervisor training taking place
in the next week which will result in a
noticeable increase in the gym's open hours.
As it is now the gym is open most often in the
afternoon and evening. Cost for the use of the
gym is one dollar daily, five dollars for half of
the current quarter and ten dollars for the
whole quarter. Half quarter pass are available
as of this week. I spoke with Laura Leblanc, a
gym supervisor, who said if enough new folks
are interested a basic instructional course
could be arranged.

OK Libra, here is the deal. This week

Done as in over. It is time to call it quits on more

get yourself into a new pair of diapers. The ones
you've got on are starting to stink from excess
baggage, similar to the excess baggage in your life.
