I put officers Tony Wayne Neely and Chris Shawn Il'\\'1\
under th l' heat lamp (at different times to prevent clll'J tlllg) filr
a grllding marathon of interrogation . They hoth survived, hut
only bec ause they are highly-train ed physil al specimens .
Hut first, a little general history 011 the two. Officer Lewis
(badge nUlllber nille) is from Kailua, I bwaii. lie is int erested in
bait fishing, snokeling, and vulleyball. lie speaks japanese all(J
enough Portugese to "get his fa ce slapped" (be ca retu lladies).
Oflicer Neely (badge number 12) was born in Clarkston, Wasil. ,
but spent most of his time roving around the eastern side 01the
state. li e is interested in all sports, but wishes that so meOlll'
would offer to play laullietbalI with him .
And now, with the introductions out of the way, let's get
ready to rumble:
1) When did you first decide to become a police officer?
Lewis: I graduated from Layola Maryrnout with a degree in
Sociology and a minor in Asian Pacifi( studies, so becuming a
police officer seemed like the next step. I was also an investigator
in Hawaii before coming out here.
Neely: After I graduated ITom high school. I joined the Army
and became a military policeman.
2) When are you authorized to use deadly force?
Lewis and Neely: When my life or the life of a student is in
immediate danger.
3) What should students do to
avoid seeing you guys?
Lewis: I want to see you. We
drive around all the time and
love to chat with students.
Neely: I want to see them. I
played a game of tackle football
with some students just the
other day.
~
4) Who discovered that the.g
Earth was not the center of our ~
solar system?
Lewis: Galileo.
Neely: Copernicus.
5) Would you rather be
somewhere with a higher
crime rate?
Lewis: Not really, I like the
social interraction here.
Neely: Sometimes, yes. But the slowness here is nice. You ran
talk things over with people.
6) Boxers or briefs?
Lewis: A little of both. It depends on the day.
Neely: Briefs.
7) Why do most cops have mustaches?
Lewis: They keep us warm at night.
Neely: It's the only facial hair that you are allowed to wear.
8) Bigger dufus: Officer Barbrady (South Park) or Police Chief
Wiggum (The Simpsons)?
Lewis and Neely: Wiggum.
9) Grateful Dead or Phish?
Lewis: Neither. Hawaiian music is the way to go,
Neely: Grateful Dead. But I'm more into heavier, older fOrk, like
Motley Crue.

Olympia FUm Society
update
by DJuna Davidson
Contributing writer
Recently, an outlet for graffiti artists of Olympia has
been removed. In the past, budding young expressionists
used the back wall of the Capitol Theater as a means of
displaying their art without defacing anything too incredibly
visible from the street. The Olympia Film Society (OFS) uses
this location as a venue to show their tllms. OFS is a group
organized for the purpose of exposing Olympians to flicks
not covered by the mainstream. The people who run OFS
never had problems with these artists, and many found this
an easy way to explore the underground art scene of Oly.
Today, if you were to step downtown and try to check out the
back of Capitol Theater as an expression of the fire inside
Olympian artists, you would be greeted by a big blank wall.
Well, blank except for the sign that informs you of the lovely
place in the court system you will earn if you tried to make a
pretty picture there today.
In January of this year, the building received a new
manager, Matt Skinner. Under the authority ofMr. Skinner,
the wall was painted over and a "No Graffiti" sign was erected.
This was a big disappointment for those who enjoy checking
out the cutting edge of spray paint, and Skinner himself was
bummed to end the era of artistic expression. When I went
down to Tee's Me (the groovy store Skinner owns located
kitty-corner to Capitol Theater on 5th Avenue), Matt
explained his reasoning to me. It seems that the artists who
were keeping the wall colorful weren't pleased with having
only one canvas, and made a practice of decorating the
surrounding bUildings and cars as well. As one might
suspect, this led to many disgruntled citizens. Who did these
pissed off people have to complain to? Matt Skinner caught
the slack. He explained to me that he tried to, "... get the kids
to police themselves and stick to the wall they were supposed
to paint on." Needless to say, this didn't work and Matt was
forced to take extreme measures ... like a big BLANK wall
and a mean and nasty warning. He is still interested in having
the wall decorated, so if you are a young artist who can keep
on your side ofthe drawing board I recommend that you go
down to Tee's Me and talk to Matt. He is friendly and excited

about finding artists willing to help him "police" the projects
for the wall.
The people at OFS hold no claim to the building, the wall,
the paint, the sign, or Matt Skinner, and have no complaints
about the new management. OFS would also like to keep the
wall painted in a reasonable manner, so you can call and give
them your support too.

My self·consciousness. in itself. is
something I find particularly interesting.
Before I came to Evergreen. I never fe lt so
acutely conscious of my position as one of the
minority on campus. We, at Evergreen. make
a point never to use the word "minority."
We've replaced the word with conspicuous
terms like "people of color" or "first peoples."
But a minority is preCisely what I feel like when
I step onto the campus, or even onto th e bus
which takes me to campus.
I've come to hate using the term
"minority," having myselfbeen indoctrinated
with the Evergreen code of talking around the
point. But that's exactly what we are,
minorities. Sugar coating it with an Evergreen
term doesn't fully describe our position on
this campus.
And this is why we. the Cooper Point
Journal. have decided to open up this forum
for students. This is a space where we can talk
about race and gender issues, and get these
issues out into the open. We don't need to be
afraid to talk about it, and we shouldn't be
preoccupied with it either. What we want to
do is open up this line of communication so
that we could better understand each other.
That's it.

-Staff writer
Students in last summer's night programs
may have noticed "hazard" signs and large plastic
tubes protruding from the library building late
at night.
Armed with respirators, HEPA filters, and
years of certification training, workers from
Northwest Abatement set upon the library
building to remove the asbestos from the pipes
that were in the ceiling. The abatement process,
according to college facilities director Michelle
George, is part of an ongoing program that has
been going on over a period of many years, and
so far has cost $90,000. The money is provided
from a state fund, however, and isn't affecting
tuition prices in any way.
Asbestos is a mineral fiber that could
potentially cause Asbestosis , a chronk lung
ailment, Mesothelioma, a rare cancer of the
membranes that line the chest. as well as lung and
other cancers, with long-term exposure. Within
the scientific community, the overwhelming
advice is to leave any building materials
containing asbestos alone, as long as the
materials are in good condition. Asbestos is only
dangerous if it becomes airborne, as dust.
But the college decided not to leave pipes
in the library building alone, because they were
26 years old and if any repairs needed to be made,
workers could be put at risk.
"If you don't have to mess with it, it's best
not to," said George. "But the critical thing is
when you take it off, you do it right."
And doing it right is no easy task.
According to Te Young, a student here who
worked for Labor and Industries, workers must
pay at least $1,000 in order to be licensed to
remove asbestos. They must also be licenced as
general and asbestos contractors.
"Asbestos abatement can be really scary,"
said Young.

The plight of a
faceless freshman
The college, according to George, took all
of the necessary precautions.
The actual abatement was done within a
bag, where not even the workers' hands came in
contact with the pipes. Tools, equipment, and a
water bottle to spray the pipes with were all sealed
inside the bag which workers had to reach into
with gloves that were attached to the bag. The
workers, as a precaution, wore protective clothing
and had respirators on their faces, with HEPA
filters on their respirators. Outside of the workers
was a secondary containment, with a second
HEPA filter in case the bag managed to burst. This
has, however, yet to happen. The second
containment is on ly a precautionary measure.
Although no abatement was performed
while classes were in session, night students
would see the process being set up. and many
were concerned. Steven Vass, a student who saw
some of the process, wasn't bothered. however.
"They handled it as well as it could have been
handled, summer was as good a time as any," said
Vass .
Asbestos was first discovered to be
hazardous in 1949, although it was still widely
used until the mid-1970s. But because workers
seldom showed signs of illness for 15 to 20 years,
no one even knew how deadly it was until the
early '80s. In fact, according to Young, workers
in the '80s working on asbestos abatement
projects not only had no certification. they were
rarely, ifever, given so much as a dust mask. Now,

compensation to the many workers who removed
asbestos and now have cancer.

sure that it doesn't.

InJune ofl998 a tornado struck, weaving
a deadly path of destruction across high school
campuses nation-wide and uprooting
thousands of terror-stricken young adults in the
process. These unfortunate youngsters were
siphoned into the Twister's hellish eye only to
be chaotically jumbled and then randomly
redistributed across the face of the Earth in an
ungodly process known most commonly as
college selection.

Now, I don't want to give the impression
that I had no hand in determining the outcome
of my post-high school education. I knew what
I wanted and where to find it, and what was in
store for me when I got there, but all
preconceived notions are quickly dismissed
when the information obtained from gUidance
counselors and college manuals ceases to be
relevant and real life sets in. The freedom and
novelty of the freshman experience can have

Applied UFOlogy
Il ow man y of you out Ihne have seen a
UFO? I'm not talking about th e pholographs
in thl' magazine slore dow nl ow n, but th e real
thing. The definition of suc h an object (an
Unide ntifi ed Flying Obj ec t) is quite se lf
ex planatory. UFOs have been seen in all colors ,
and all shapes, although primairily in th e form
of disks. Modern UFO sighlings, espec ially in
England a nd Europe, in clude a large
population of triangular crah with three white
glowi ng objects mounled on th e bottom. No,
this is not th e mysterious "airplane" that I'm

rote~
This
Editorial cartoonist Mike Peters of the
Dayton Da ily News recently ran a cartoon
which featured Jesus Christ, standing in the
midst ofa pack of grinning, rock-wielding men
in suits. His speech bubble re ads "Let him who
is without sin cast th e first ... ah ... never mind
..... The caption reads "Jesus remembers he's
talking to Republican Congressmen."
It's true. Each time Bill Clinton gets into
allY kind of trouble, these guys cast the first
stone. The level of moral indignation radiating
from Congress at the moment is enough to
make one wonder if perhaps these guys have
considered trying to become the ne xt Pope.
Many oflhem behave as if they honestly believe
their own closets hold no skeletons.
It would be interesting to turn a special
prosecutor loo se on random members of
Co ngress, My own th eo ry is that, given
unlimited time and an unlimited budget,
Kenneth Sta rr - or: rea lly, an yo ne in hi s
posi tion - co uld dig up serious dirt on
absolu lelya nyone.
I Ihink Newt Gingrich knows this. The
House Speaker's respouse to Bill Clinton's
troubles has been one of silence - punctuated
bv th e surreal occasions on which he actually
offers words of support. He's reminded us on
at least one occasion that Bill Clinton is still
President, and that we should stand behind
him for the good of the nation.
So, what, was Newt taken over by a pod
person? Actually, the truth is even more
interesting. Newt knows he has skeletons in his
closet, and that if someone turned a special
proseculor on him , his own presidential
aspirations would be even more hopeless than
th ey currently are.
I'm not saying, mind you, tha~ Gingrich
hasn't been a hypocrile in the past. When he
spoke at the Christian Coalition's "Road to
Victory" convention, and in many other
similar speeches, Newt served up a heap of the
so rt or"pro-family" rhetoric which essentially
condemn s anyone who isn 't Ward or June
Cleave r. Newt also avidly supported the
Defense of Marriage Act. This is, bear in mind,
th e same Newt Gingrich who served his wite
with divorce papers while she was in the
hospital recovering from cancer surgery, and
who fell so far behind on his child support
payments that his ex-wife had to take him to
court twice.
I suspect it's the fallout from stories such
as this that makes Newt so hesitant to jump
on the Bill-bashing bandwagon, Bizarrely, it's
this self-preservation which puts him in a
position that's new to him: he's currently
behaving, at least on this issue, like one of
Congress's least hypocritical members.
Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott has no
such compuncture. Lott, as far as the press has
bee n able to discover, has a cleaner record th an
Gingrich in the "morals" depa rtment. He
certainly behaves as if this is the case. Lott was
one of the first to begin making noise about
impeachment. He's never let up. He's made a
habit of looking stern and declaring that
Clinton\ behavior is "totally inexcusable," in
a tone of vo ice reminiscent of a father whose
so n ha s just poured oatmeal on the cat. Of
co urse, he's not too busy doing this to add
constructively to our public discourse, as he
did recently by co mparing homosex uals to
kl eptomaniacs.
So Lott is, much of the tim e, a
sanctimonious prig. Does this make him a
hypocrite? Well , not compared to Christian
Coalition exec utive director. Randy Tate, a
form er one·term Congressman fr om
Washington's District 9. Tate has a history of
unabas hed hypoc risy. He was elec~d in 1994,
ridin g the Republic an reformist wave - he
successfully hounded incumbent Democrat
Mike Kreidler from office on the grounds th at
Kreidler was corrupt and had engaged in
shameless fundraising tactics. Tate failed to win
a second term partly because, like a lot of the
Republican class ofl994 , he engaged in tactics
of his own that made Kreidler's suddenly
appear not to have been so bad after all.
Tate is currently handing out stone
tablets proclaiming that Clinton is immoraleven evil - and must be removed from office
as quickly as possible,
What does all this mean? Among other
things, it means that Congressional
RepUblican s , four years after declaring
"revolution," are still misreading, and even
inventing, their "mandate." They still regard
themselves as our moral leaders, as protectors
ofthe nation's virtue. They haven't figured out
that that isn't their job, and that nobody asked
them to take on that role.
Maybe, when special prosecutors starl
digging skeletons out of their closets as well,
they'll finally have their moment of clarity,

Fun with moral

Lies and misinformation
The office of Evergreen's Police services
obviou sly thinks yo u do. The other day at
Registration, I was standing outside having a
cigarette at a little past noon when I was struck
with an insulting image ... a slap in the fa ce.
Two Evergreen Police officers on brand new
shiny mountain bikes ... carrying holstered
9mm 's. I was confused so I rushed over to
Police Services to see if anyone cou ld clear this
problem up for me.
Two yea rs ago we saw a community so
adamantly opposed to arming of any kind that
the campus was shul down for a day by
prot esters at th e main ga tes. The months
dra gged on while the Board of Trustees kept
an open dialogue with the campus communit y,
staff and faculty. Finally it was agreed on that
Evergreen Security would become a legitimate
Police force with all the p'owers of any law
enforcement agency. The officers were taken
and trained by professional law enfo rcement
ofi1ce rs in sa fety and weapons handling
ce rlificates were awarde d to all Evergreen
Police officers.
This is all fin e and dandy. What I have a
very large problem with is Ihe fact that all of a
sudden, the office of Evergreen Police Services
has mysteriously become a se lf govern ing
age ncy. The campus comlllunity, stat!. taculty
and Board of Trustees came to a mutually
accep tab le conclusion by opting for limited
arming of campus Police officers. This consisls

First-year Evergreen student Robin Garcia
likes meeting people. That's why she moved into
the dorms.
·So far, I think I like it. Even though it's hard
to be around people my age, 'cuz I'm just as
angsty as the rest of them, it's been good,· said
Garcia.
The "angst" that Garcia is referring to may
also be described as noise. In fact, in the short
time she's lived on campus, Garcia says she's been
exposed to a myriad of noise, chaos, and the usual
mayhem that color most campus dormitory
settings,
"There's a lot of parties all the time. I don't
have a problem with it of course, but it's really
excessive. Once kids are away from their parents
this independence thing happens, and it seems
that most people take advantage of it. There's
something going on everyday."
Another bonus to living on campus was the
fact that classes are so close, and school is Garcia's
first priority.
"Yes, I'm actually going to study this year,"
she said.
As a whole, it seems that Garcia wants to
really separate herselffrom the rest of the crowd.
It might seem ironic for someone who previously
claimed she likes meeting people, but Garcia is
determined to do well in school.
In the dorm, sbe says she has already
managed to create a niche for herself. Upon
moving in, Garcia noticed that the bedroom she'd
been originally assigned to was small and oddly
shaped. The room was not conducive to her goals
of being a serious student. Required to share a
room in this particular dorm, Robin wasn't keen
on the idea to begin with. Besides which, she was real distracting when you have a paper due and
unhappy with the shape of her room. So she you're procrastinating:

feeling from Evergreen students concerning
housing.

cost only $3,000. The couple splitthis cost, as well
as the $140 per month moorage fee which covers
electricity, water, and use of a public bathroom
which is cleaned every afternoon . Because the
boat'is paid for, they only spend $70 per month
each on rent.
Cost was a major factor in Kamaya 's
decision to buy her bus. She was looking in the
want ads to see if she could find a better deal for
hOUSing, when she saw the bus advertised for
$2500. She called the ad back and ended up
paying $1800. In addition, she pays $150 per
month to park in a local woman's backyard.
"I figure in a year, the bus will pay itself
back," she said, explaining that once she figured
in the cost of rent, utilities, and electricity, she is
saving enough money to cover the cost of buying
the bus itself.
Both sisters lived on campus for the last two
years. But felt that it was time to move on. "I had
to live off campus," Kamaya said. "I had a good
time while I was there, but I was growing up."
But in addition to the limited space, both
sisters face a long walk to school, another
sacrifice. Kamaya walks for half an hour to
campus, and the closest bus stop is twenty
minutes away. Aurora also has quite a walk in the
morning, living in one of the farthest marinas
from town.
But the sacrifice of convenience is worth it
to both Aurora and Kamaya. Aurora cites the fact
that since she is removed from the main marina,
it is quieter and the people who are around own
a boat, they aren't just admiring other people's.
There are more options regarding places to
live in Olympia than simply apartments, dorms,
or rented houses. Some students, like both
Linquists, have found alternative housing to be
different, interesting, and inspirational.

various campus buildings? Have you ever been
so far above campus that you can see A-Dorm
poking up from the tree cover? Chances are,
you haven't. But after perusing this article, and
looking at the pictures, you can imagine that
you have. And hey, you could even pretend
you've been beneath the campus when you're

I, however, don't need to pretend. I can

If you're thinking about sneaking into the tunnels, you
can put that out of your mind right now. Several years ago, a
student stole the master keys and regularly sneaked down into
the tunnels. According to Officer Bob McBride, who served as
my tour guide of the tunnels and clock tower, several campus
cops had a stake out of sorts <they ate doughnuts and chatted)
and apprehended the culprit. So don't think that you can get
away with it.
After we were done wandering around beneath the
campus, McBride took me to the other extreme. We went up
the very top of the clock tower, from where I could see the roofs
ofall the main campus buildings. You want awe inspiring? How
about fear-inspiring? The almost-vertical climb to the top
through the inside of the clock tower was terrifying. A few years
ago, according to McBride, someone got into the tower and took
a nose dive into the black hole of death and killed himself. I
don't recommend anyone doing it. The view from the top is
much too impressive.
Every once in a while you can rappel off the clock tower,
with the proper permission, of course. So for those of you who
like to strap ropes around your body and flail offoflarge buildings,
there is a chance you can do this on campus. This only happens
once or twice a year, though. Otherwise, you can always view the
clock tower the traditional way: from the ground up.

Just what does The Evergreen Medieval Society
do on-campus?
1. We do demos of various medieval skills,
personas, and crafts for whoever we deem in
need of such help. Usually for schools,
children, and city functions.
2. We (I) proVide ourselves as consultants to
drama groups, costumers, and anyone who
needs to know how to make things in a
medievally authentic way. We can help make
your period play look reall Let us see your
sketches, and we can help not only make you
the toast of your drama guild, but even help
you cut the costs with inside connections.
3. We hold two medieval recreation events a
year on campus: our annual Winter Bardic (a
festival of dance, stories, poetry, and dancing)
and the GlymmMereian Sergeants trials (a
contest offighting, and all the arts ofthe SCA,
so that candidates can prove. their worthiness
to serve as the Baron and Baroness of
GlymmMere's honored guard.)
4. We go to events held outside the college.
5. We teach you how to sew and knit, work with
leather, cook over an open fire, blacksmithing,
swordmaking, armoring, heavy combat, light
combat, archery, sling, crossbow, pike, and
axe, costuming, etc.
6. We do aU sorts of research into interesting
topics, butwe can't discuss them in public. The
college has many secrets and stories to share.
The air is crisp, the apples have ripened,
and now we in the Society for Creative
Anachronism celebrate the bounty of the
harvest. It is the season ofthe Feasts! On Oct.
3 we have an English Renaissance Feast and
Dance caUed Michealmas. The high Mistresses

the Barony of GlymmMere we have a fighter
practice at Garfield Elementary School on the
West side until the weather gets bad We don't
just fight, either: many people come to talk and
do paper work and assorted other things. The
SCA has an extreme oral tradition. If you are
interested the right people wiU share their years
of experience and help you to learn what they
have learned. Aperson with determination and
initiative can go far.
The College of Wittanhaven weekly
meetings start in October. We need to meet
because we have money to spend, events to
decide we want to go to, and help folks make
the right connections with whatever they want
to do in the SCA. Look for our meeting times
on flyers around campus and the October
issues of the CPJ.
If you have any questions on the SCA , I
will be happy to look it up for you or refer you

S&A Board Coordinator
The school year is off and running and
so are many of us here at Student Activities!
Many positions, however, still exist if you want
t.o get involved! "What's S&A anyway?"1 have
heard this question many times in the past few
weeks, and alii can say at this point is that it's
whatever we want it to be. What do want out
of this school year, out of this school? Are you
pushing yourselfto make that happen?

both to the college and to your life. You can
help yourself and others by getting involved.

each group cannot exist without students
leading the way. That's really what it's all
about.
Walking onto campus today, I began to feel
a bit nostalgic. The fog shrouded the trees,
blue sky and golden rays of sun threatening to
warm the pathways. This will be my fourth
year here and my last. As a senior, [ definitely

something.

can, but [ really must ask you to take the
initiative too! [t doesn't matter if you're a
freshman, sophmore, junior, senior, transfer,
exchange, or grad. student- make your voice
heard! Ge.t involved now, you're needed!
The administration has a history of
failing to follow their own policies. Contact the
Union of Student Workers to help you wade
through the bureaucracy and inconsistency of
Evergreen's administration.
As a student here at Evergreen you may
be in search of a job on campus. Student
workers can be seen in every area of the school
in jobs that range from: maintenance, service,
childcare, office staff, and academic tutors.
Student workers are an essential part of the
daily operation of the school. Without the 700
student workers the school simply could not
function . Collectively we are very powerful.
For the past four years the student
workers have been actively organizing the
Union of Student Workers into an
independent, democratic and collective union
to advocate for student workers on campus.
Since the working conditions here are as varied
as the students themselves, it is important to
know the issues that individuals have had with
their workplace, as well as issues all student
workers share.
[n the past student workers have had to
deal with issues of late pay increases,
mistreatment by supervisors. and wrongful
termination. This treatment is not OK. [f you
experience this, know that the Union will
advocate for you and support you in the
assertion of your rights.
Student workers have very little say in
how the employment system is run - despite

drcision making and the fostering of an
experimental community. USW is made up of
individual workers, but it also strives to
address problems that specific workstations
face as well as large issues that all student
workers have in common. We have been
working to bring the issue of the bi·monthly
paychecks to the attention of the
administration. Currently student workers get
paid once a month while faculty and staff get
paid twice a month. This is a particular
hardship in the beginning of the year when we
have to wait six weeks to get our first pay check.
This first month and a half comes at a time
when students are paying tuition, deposits on
housing and books. The Union has demanded
that the administration address this issue and
has yet to see tangiblie results.
You don't have to be a student worker to
be involved with the union! Everyone is
welcome! Please visit us in the S&A offices on
the third floor of the CAB building or call
x6098. Through coming together in solidarity
and demanding that our voices be heard we can
make this institution a better place. So join the
union and get involved. A union is only as
strong as the workers it represents.

Sings Out
Written by Eva Soliel
staff writer
joules Graves has a love of the earth that
she sings out with a passion. She is a musician
who lets loose gutsy folk tunes with her guitar,
djembe drum, and a voice that soars. Graves
has a magnetic energy field about her person
that draws people in who rise up to dance and
sing along when her notes spark the air, and
the rhythm is moving. Graves is a native of the
Midwest who hitched her way out west after
she found college life just wasn't quite up to
snuff. She drummed and sang in protest at the
Seattle peace concerts, where her first song,
"Boot Bush in the Tush" was a favorite.
After six months, Graves was ready for a
slightly more mellow form of activism, and she

making for a strong
combination . The music
rocks while not being too
blatantly overloud. She can
sing things really fast while
still hitting her notes - almost
like rap. She can sing stuff
slowly as well giving an almost
sensuous feel to it at times. A
Photo courtesy of Three Scrappy Birches surprise of her music can be
used on her album were filled with powerful images, sometimes how hard it sounds when what is being played might sound
with an out-back flavor. The combination of the two made for really soft without the distortion. Usually active music that
energetic folk music, even though much of her music is played has cool stories. Three Scrappy Bitches are scheduled to play
slow. Her guitar playing has melodies oflazy slides, beautiful in Olympia on Oct. 6, at Studio 321 (at 321 jefferson).

Lee O'Conner's Monkey Bunker Sound
"A thrilling story of paid
and unpaid positions of
responsibility open to any
student!"
-David Simpson, interim
L&O editor
A good message,
but poor delivery
by David Boudinot and Desiree
Baptist
staff writers
The Monkey Bunker Sound by Lee
O'Conner is an apocalyptic, hip-hoppish
medley with excellent samples, legit beats.
strong political overtones, but unfortunately,
a lack in lyrical delivery. O'Conner's intentions
are good and what he has to say is on target,
however. this cat doesn't have that vocal charm
of, say, Q-Tip or the Method Man. Great songs
usually get people hyped and ready for more,
but there is none of that here in the Monkey
Bunkers.
I've heard some say that Lee O'Conner
TESC Student Activities presents
A Cooper Point Journal news and entertainment production
A "positions
advertisement
"A chilling account of a real
newspaper run by and for
students!"
-Tan-ya Gerrodette,
Ad Designer
sounds like K.B. Smooth sober
but I would stick to the
another extreme - I could
imagine his flows as a medical
experiment monkey chained
to a cold cement bomb shelter
floor smoking a cigarette
busting out the rhymes. And
maybe you hear a couple of
other monkeys in the
background (also smoking
cigarettes) chained up and
pounding on typewriters. Ya
dig?
This might be a possible
scenario with rhymes like: An
An encasement down in the
basement; Not a junker, the
Monkey Bunker; Thirty floors
and locks on the doors; Keepin'
out the barbarian hordes;
We're down here recording
political rhymes; We can't
stand corporate crimes.

basement; Not a

the
Monkey Bunker;
Thirty floors and

doors; Keepin' out the barbarian
hordes; We're down here

It is obvious that O'Conner
spent a lot of time putting this
album together. He has a very
talented record scratchin' and
beat creatin' team comprised of
Shawn Bourque, Patrick Winkler, Michael
Page, Invisible, Ryan Booker, Carlo Tesauro,
and Matt McCullough. These guys did an
outstanding job incorporating samples and
scratches into the bass line and beat track. The
good beats and the need-more-work flow styles
of The Monkey Bunker Sound were recorded
in Eugene, Oregon at Highwaters Studios and
in Olympia at Ruins Studios.

Welcome, welcome, to the first CPJ comics page of the year. It is
our sincere hope that you laugh with us and not at us. If you're
looking at this page and thinking to yourself "hey, I could do
that," well, then I enthusiastically encourage you to make good
on that threat. We , can alwa)'s use more comics. Particularly since
next week, with any luck, we're going to have two pages for comics
instead of one. This means more and bigger comics. So bring your
comics to the third floor of the ' CAB, room 316. Come on, I'm sure
you're at least as good as "Garfie1d."

TESC andOlylife
Yes, folks, your source for
fun and action! If you
don't read this page, your
life will be a never ending
fall through the dark pits of
despair and general
unpleasantness. And as far
as I know, that ain't a good
thing.
