Contributing writer
An om in ous red fist stands in defianc e over the entrance
of the CAB. II is the symbol for The Union of Student Workers
(USW) . They want to protect the rights of the studellt workers
of Evergreen, since student workers arc not covered under the
N~t i olla l Labor Relations Act. The US'" is the place to go if
stud ent workers feel they have been wronged in some way.
The USW iscurrenrly demanding th at the administration
establish a bimonthly p,ay period for student workers. Rebec ka
Tilsen. a coordinator for USW, states that it is disrespectful to
be the only ones that do not get paid twice a mont h. A new
st ud ent ha s to wait a month and a halfbefore seeing any money
for their efforts.
Bill Zaugg, coordinator for stud ent affairs, states th at the
system is not efficient enough to implement a bimonthly system
for hourly employees. Currently, everything has to be done
manually. Work would double across the board, and it wOllld
be unfair to the coordinators and payroll techs to establish a
bimonthly pay period ~!1der this system.
.
Angie Skov, administrative assistant in the Library, states
that she currently has 119 student emp loyees and spends
around 12 hours of her busy schedule on time sheets. This is if
everything is correct and in an time. An extra day is spent if
mistakes have to be corrected. The load increases as the year
progresses and more
students are employed . .
She states that she
would like to see the
student workers get

time sheets are then
sent to Redmond
where the checks are printed. He states that they have a lot of
work on their hands because last year's budget cuts gave them
more responsibilities. He states that, theoretically, itwould be
eas ier if all the different depa~tments like Registration/
Admissions, Accounting, and Financial Aid were under the
sa me computer system. If the computers were able to talk to
each other, the verification would already be in the computer.
Zaugg states that institutional funds are very limited. The
estimated cost would be roughly $20,000. This is the cost of
establishing another full time payroll tec h to handle the
additional work. He state that more efficient modifications are
being discussed for the departments. He does states that he
sees a move to bimonthly pay periods for hourly employees in
the future.
The USW is currently not legally recognized, but Tilsen
states that it could be more effective on issues dealing with
student workers if more workers got involved. She would like
USW to be recognized as a union for the student workers.
"Unions are the only collective voice the people have," states
Whitehead who belongs to a labor union.

Trustees hear students
by Hillary Rossi '
St.aff writer
.. '. Yesterday, four students.told Evergreen's seven policy
makers what is wrong-and right-with the college.
Students Bryan Freeborn, Jason Schwartz, Toby
Fredrickson and Marisa Kaneshiro talked to the Board of
Trusteesabouttheit:experiencesasEvergreencollegestudents
as part of a self-study the college is orchestrating. The self..
study will be turned into chapters, turned into a pamphlet,
and turned over to the committee responsible for Evergreen's
re-accreditation next fall.
Shannon Ellis, dean of academic and support services,
said that the four students were chosen at random or
suggested to her from faculty or other students. Their
presentations were to "highlight" the students' opinion for
the board.
The students were given 45 minutes to share with the
board the experiences, ideas and brainstorms concerning
financial aid, studentgovemance, housing academic advising,
and part-time and full-time studies.
Toby Fredrickson was the only student with nothing
negative. to tell the board. She is a part-time student who
graduates inJune.·As an older student with a family, she lives
offcampus. She enjoys the fleXibility of her part-time studies
class ~nd enjoys the c(;mvenience ofher faculty's schedule and
of the computer center's hours.
Jason Schwartz, a fourth·year·student, jumped in with
.achalk board, writing [uimbers to distinguish what he spends
his money on from his workstudy job at ACademi,c Planning.
From his $400 monthly pay check, Schwartz·spends $200 a
month on rent. He spends $170 on other stuff, such as utilities,
gasoline and groceries. That leaves him with $30 per month
for extras, buying his school books at second hand book stores
or checking them out from libraries. .
Schwartz said that the Financial Aid office at.Evergreen
was confuSing to use at the beginning of his, college career.
However, now that he is reaching the end, he is used to it and
finds it easy to use.
Marisa Kaneshiro is a first-year transfer student,
originally from St. Lawrence University in New York, coming
from Hawaii. She loves her core program, Classics in Context,
but not where she lives in B·dorm.
Kaneshi~o said that after two of her roommates moved
. out'at the end of Fall Quarter. she and her one remaining
roommate received a letter from Housing telling them they
would either have to find two new roommates, pay $100 more
each for monthly rent, or move out of the dorm.
Bryan Freeborn. alternate student representative to the
Board of Trustees. Loves the interaction between teachers at
Evergreen and students.
"They still know your name three years later," he said.
However, Freeborn does find the library and the
computer center "less than adequate."
He explained that he went to the University of
Washington two weeks ago and found information in th e
library that Evergreen students have to order through
Interlibrary Loan and wait weeks to find out if they can use
the information.
He said the Computer Center needs to have computer
classrooms separate from general computer use areas. This
is to prevent stude'nts from being booted off a computer to
make room for a class. .
Freeborn also suggested student governan~e should be
mandatory. He talked of his own experiences being on the
committee for hiring a new police officer and on the parking
infraction committee. However, he did not go into detail.
. But he did say that from being on those committees, he
gets a sense of how many headaches the Evergreen
administration has in order to keep the factions of the college
going.
After the four students presented and answered the
board's questions, the board thanked them for speaking out
about Evergreen.

Housing in the la st two years must have noticed th e lovely
markings th at now ado rn the rear wall of the Co ll ege
Rt'creali on Ce nt er (CRC). It reads sOlndhing like "Kill
Danzig Next.·' This is a truly sad it em 10 have to look at,
and despite all of th e {'fforts of our Fac iliti es workers , there
is still no mi stakin g th e path ctir message.
To ca ll this graftiti. however. is wrong. This is a clear
l'a~(' of va ndalism . So is almost all of th e school's perceived
"graffiti problem." The fact is that th ere is a dist in ct
dilference between gra lliti and vanda lislll . Most of what is
scrawled quickly on th e various surfaces of our camp us
could accurately be described as vandalism.
When one wishe s to ta lk about ACTUAL gr<lmti . I
would suggest that you look in th(' alley next to the Midnight
Sun, behind the Capitol Theater, or next to Dumpster Va lu es.
What you will find t here is art, cou rtesy ofl ocallalenl such
as Bu zz and Truce. GraAiti is a un ique and beautiful art form,
born Ollt oft he chaos of inner city urban life. It was , when it
bega n. a mean s of attaining tbe recogniti on of your pee rs
and a non -violent mean s of expressio n. As it has been
commercialized, like most oflhe urban art s have, il has been
rnisrepresent ed by people whu do not understand it. Olien
times this results in vandalism .
I am really tired oflo')kingat th e vandalism on the CRC
wall. In late April. th e Sludent Arts counci l. in co njunclion
with UMOjA, th e Evergreen Poli ti cal Information Cent er

was 10 invite va rious arti~ts from th e area 10 (Teate a graffiti

Patrick Mouton (UMOjA coordinalor) and I had a

Eagle Claw Kung Fu club competes in first tournament
by Eric Loeschner
Member of the Eagle Claw Kung Fu Club
On Feb. 7, the Evergreen State Coliege
Eagle Claw Kung Fu Club traveled to Portland
for the Mortal Kombat Challenge '98 Karate &
Kung Fu Tournament. Despite the cheesy
name, 200 to 300 children and adults from the
Oregon-Washington area showed up to test
their skills_ Most of the participants were
Karate, Kenpo, and Tae Kwon Do stylists. The
Evergreen club, however, was the only Chinesestyle martial art represented at thE'
tournament, but this difference was definitely
no liability. Evergreen's five team members
claimed at least one trophy each, totaling ten
medals for the whole team. Evergreen swept
the beginner form (Kata) division, taking all
three medals, hands-down. Jesse Harter (a first
year student, focusing on environmental
studies) took the bronze, Randy Christian (a
junior, Celtic studies) took the silver, and Loa
Arnoth (junior, performance arts) took the
gold in spite of a foot injury_This was a good
day all arou nd for Greener forms . Matt
Sieradski (junior, psychology) ea rned two
trophies in Kata- a first place in men's adult in
the brown belt division and second place under
black belt open. In the black belt division , the

Ii-l~es t v l e. As Ilwy doal all our llIeels. the divl- r~
proved th l'm.~ e l ves excell l'nt athletes ill a sport
they do not usually tra in for.
There were a nu mber of personal bests
as well. Holly "del' Hcartbreaker" Robinson
shaved ten seconds off her 100 yard freestyle
and in an unusual occurrence, Danielle Temple
and Gina Wickstead, or the Dynamic Duo, had
exactly the same time in the 100 ya rd freestyle,
personal bests for them both .
A shocking turn of events this weekend
was the disqualification of Na te "the Flyi ng
Squirrel " Mahoney in the 200 individual
med ley. This evenl entails s'wimming two
lengt hs of each st roke, but a~ Nate turned to
complete the second length of the backstroke,
he pushed off the wall into a breaststroke pullout. (Because of our in credible intellectual
capacity, swimm ers must use these highl y
technica l terms) . Such a pull-out in an I.M ,
event is grounds for immediate
disqual ification . Despite this minor setback,
Nate comp leted the race with his inimitable
style and grace, coming in first. [f anything,
he is a credit to the sport of swir'nming_ True
to Evergreen form, we had a lengthy seminar
to discuss the mishap afterwards. Never let it
be said the Mighty Geod ucks do not learn from
their mistakes.
Last weekend was the swim team 's last
official meet. Our next chance to compete is
at Conference, a grossly gargantuan swim meet
where these huge Amazon sw immers from
schools all over the Northwest gather together
to posture once more before co mpeting in
Nationals. Greeners on the swim team find
such intim idation pointless. In th e words of
Yoda, "a Jedi craves not these things." For us,

Special Assitant to the Presid en t
Taki ng a look at our p rej udi ce~ and the roll' they play in

"People stepped up to the challenge of self-disclosure.
That's a lot to ask of people. You have to be brave to express

a supportive and nurturing environment, where people of color

moved to tears, anger and laughter.
Some thoughts from participants:
"This is an important and unique experience that reflects the
d ear and brilliant thinking ofthe faculty, staff and students of
Evergreen. I trave l to many universities and colleges across the
counlry and would encourage the' hands on-truth telling' focus
of these days. The issues of diversity among the evo lving

Harden.
C
Can and cannot
A weekiy feature that profiles proposed legisl.ation during the 1998 regular session
In the end, itwas quick and painless - from a legislative
stand-pOint that is.
After weeks ofdiscussion, the Legislature pushed through
a new bill that outlaws gay marriages on Friday, making
Washington the 27th state to ban gay marriages - even those
performed in other states.
Less than an hour after receiving the new bill, Gov. Gary
Locke vetoed it. Unfortunately, the Legislature quickly
responded by overridding the veto.
The bill is a response to Congress' Defense of Marriage
Act, which gives states with the authority to grant or deny
recognition of same-sex ~arriages recognized as valid in other
states. According to the new bill: "It is a compelling interest of
the state of Washington to reaffirm its historical commitment
to the institution of marriage as a union between a man and a
woman as husband and wife and to protect that ihstitution."
The bill also establishes "public policy against same-sex
marriages in statutory law that clearly and definitively declares
same-sex marriages will not be recognized in Washington, even
if they are made legal in other states."
The governor's veto was overridden by a vote of 65 to 28
in the House with five members absent and in the Senate by 34
to 11 with four members absent. In' order to override a veto,
two-thirds ofeach legislative members present have to vote for.
This is only the third time in the last decade the Legislature has
overridden a veto.

Rugby tourney falls through
From Feb. 20 to Feb. 23, 1998, the largest
wome n's rugby tourna ment in the United States
will be taking plarc in New Orleans, Louisiana
dur ing Ma rdi Gras. This tourn ament is th e
premier place to wit ness th e best tea ms and
playe rs as we ll as co mpete aga inst a dive rse
group of clubs. The Eve rgreen Hellca tz have
planned to go sin ce the beginnin g of October, a
trip the tea m has dreamed of making fo r over
three years. It was a drea m that was going to be
rea li zed until th e Co llege Recrea tion Center,
bac ked by Art Cos t? ;.tin o, misused t hei r
authority to eradicate ( ur trip.
Since I bega n pial ing rugby in 1995, there
have been a nu r;.I:;Cl of incidents between th e
CRC and the team which have affected our club
negatively. Among these situations include an
attempted one season suspension of the team,
and unreasonable delay of the placement of our
goa ls posts. I have hesitated to write about these
issues, because .of poor relations with the CRC
and their control over our funding, l did not wa nt
to rock the boat. We are now at a point where
our relationship with them cannot get any worse.
I am relay ing th ese foll ow ing ser ies of
events for two reasons. First I want voice to my
fee lings of disgust over the College Recreation
Center's treatment of the team to be known to
every person I can reach . Second, I want the
Evergreen Community to read this and rally
behind the rugby team. After this incident, we
are going to need your suppurt like we never have
before.
I will try to summarize the events as much
as I can , though it's a long and complicated
matter. This trip has been part of our official
sc hedule since before the season began in
October, 1997. John Barb ee, our Rec.
coordinator, and Pete Steilberg, head of the CRC,
as well as other staffmc mbers have known about
this trip sin ce Day One. All of the fundra ising,
planning, and arrangements for this trip were
with through th e CRe.
In December 1997, we went to John Barbee
to talk about the trip and were told to start
makin g necessa ry preparation s. The non·
refundable $300.00 tournament fee wa s also
approved to be taken which assured our spot in
th e tournament. Fundraising , previou sly
overshadowed by our regulation, now became
top priority. The time dedicated to practice wa s
now dedi cated to brainstorming, intense
fu ndraising, and staying in shape. Our coach,
Rosedanie Cadet, began making numerou s
phone calls to find better deals than the CRC's
estimated projecti ons. Our next step was to talk
to Special Initiatives for financial support.
We made th e meeting with Speciallnitiaves
at the earliest poss ible date, which was Winter
Quarter. Ou r fin ancial proposition wa s
Signifi ca ntly lower than the estimation s we
received from the CRe. We found a house to rent
with cooking faciliti es to lower hotel and food
costs. In addition, we found $363.00 tickets
which were cheaper than the $414.00 state fares.
The board tabled our discussion due to issues they
needed to discuss among themselves and told LI S
we would have to wait to hear the final qecision .
We had to purchase the tickets that Friday,
jan. 30. With no concrete answer from Special
Initiatives, six of the original 18 girls had to back
out, because they could not financially commit
themselves. Rosedanie managed to get American
Airlines to hold the tickets for us until Monday.
We asked the CRC to help Us with the fare and
were told if we came up with 80%of the money,
they wo uld purcha se the ti ckets for us on
Monday. We pooled all of our fundraising totals
thus far, and everyone on the team who was still
going paid a portion of their final airfare cost.
This included over $500from th e men's rugby
team, of whom four members were planning to
travel with us to a men's tournament in the sa me
area. After a separate controversy arose, we were
forced to ask them to back out, but they said we
co uld keep th eir money. to cover our own
expenses. Our total fund s were a little over
$3, 400.00
Monday,.Feb.2, was when our plans began
to collapse around us. Rosedanie arrived at the
CRC with the money and was told, for the first
time, that we were not allowed to go outside the
state agency to arrange for cheaper airfare. We
were shocked to learn this since we had rese'rved
out American Airlin e's ti ckets ~ith the
knowledge of the CRC two weeks earlier. At that
time she was also told she could now purchase
the state tickets at a reduced rate of $212.00
each. Rosedanie thought this was wonderful but
wh en she asked if anyone had bothered to
inquire if any seats were available at this price,
she found that no one had. While Rosedanie
as running around getting all the proper
signatures to purchase the tickets, she assumed
the call would be made to the state agency to
find out about the seating. I will point out that
we are not allowed to do this ourselves or we
would have. By the time Rosedanie had arrived
at the CRC with the completed forms, the office
was closed, and we were forced to wait until
Tuesday to find out about the seating.

Effort made to
identify hidden
disabilities
To begin with, I would like to thank Tak
Kendrick for his courageous response to Hillary
Rossi's article about our event, "Hidden
Disabilities Awareness Day," which appeared in
the Jan. 29 edition of the CPJ. I would like to
encourage others to Similarly respond to our
event with questions, challenges to what the
speakers have said, or suggestions as to how the
Union of Students with Disabilities can better
serve you. However, it might be more useful for
everyone concerned if any points of contention
could be addressed atour meetings, the days and
times of which have been made public,
preferably prior to our publicized events. I,
personally, had no notion ofany other opinions
of, say, exactly what constitutes a "hidden .
disability," or what constitutes "mental illness"
than the opinions of the people who made an
effort to identify with their disabilities at our
regularly scheduled meetings (myself included)
and the views expressed by our speakers at the
event.
I
I, personally, didn't agree with everything
that was said by the speakers. During the
conversations which I had engaged in with each
of the speakers before the event took place, I
made no effort to "screen" what they were
planning to say, nor did I attempt to "censor"
their talks as they were taking place, although I
knew beforehand that some of what they had to
say was controversial by the very nature ofthe
subject matter. The purpose Mary McKanna
spoke on the subject of "hidden disabilities" for
was to simply help to introduce the concept in a
consciousness-raising effort so that the
Evergreen community could further explore the
issue on its own. I did not expect Mary to address
all of the .uhidden disabilities" which are in
existence, but simply help the Union to "get the
ball roIling" and encourage dialogue about this
important subject. Mary is a psychotherapist in
the community who graduated from Evergreen
and, I believe, contributed a lot of use ful
information to the event. We invited Dan
Bennett to speak about his dissociative disorder,
which he has become quite effective in coping
with. Dan's story is very uplifting, and I hope
that others with dissociative disorders benefited
from his talk. I also hope anyone else who has
been struggling with a "hidden disability" and
who attended our event (sorry, Tak, but it sounds
from your article that you didn't attend, so I can't
include you) felt inspired by Dan's willingness
to stand up in front of strangers for 20 minutes
and address the issue of living with a very serious
disSociative disorder-and who has a sense of
humor about itl
About the issue which Tak brought up in
his article concerning the phrase "Hidden
disabilities are mainly mental disabilities" which,
supposedly, was in Hillary's article on Jan. 29.
In the first place, Tak, it's misquoted- what
Hilla ry actually wrote was "Hidden disabilities
are mainly mental illn esses." Now, to be
perfectly honest, and even after talking with
Hillary on the phone this morning about it, I
don't remember exactly what was said to that
effect (poor short-term memory, I'm afraid, is a
function of my "hidden disability") by Dan-I
do believe Hillary, however, that she had written
down exactly what she'd heard Dan say. In which
case, it should have been in quotes in the 'article
(sorry, HillaryO. Dan may, indeed, classify his
disorder as a "mental iUn ess." Hey, it's a free
country (well, kind oft), and ifhe wants to, it's
fin e by me. However, what I've learned about
dissociative disorder is that it's not classified as ·
"mental illness." Furthermore, it's news to me if
manic depression, schizophrenia, and chronic
depression are "neurological diseases;" from
everything I've heard and read, the first two are
still classified as "mental illness," and the third,
chronic paill (weU, there I agree with you, Tak)
that would be very stigmatizing to be told that
chronic pain was a "mental illness. " The same
goes for eating disorders, kind of; since I have
an eating disorder, I guess I can consider myself
something of an "expert" on it. I say "kind of"
since I believe I have an addiction to eating,
which I can very mu ch relate to as being
"psychological." And what about the people
who believe that they have a "mental illness?"
Are they, then, to feel as ifit's all "in their heads?"
That wa s part Of the whole purpose in
sponsoring Hidden Disabilities Awareness Day:
to tell people in the Evergreen community that
it's "O K" to have any "hidden disability,"
whether or no t it is classified
as a "mental
/
.
iIliless. "
Well, I hope that this had cleared up any
do ubts anyon e has had about USWD 's
intentions (re: our first event of th e year) after
reading Tak's article-or, possibly, brought
thin gs up which cou ld have bee n further
discussed by anyone in Evergreen's spirit of
inqu iry!

Epilepsy disorder
debilitating
Epilepsy is not a mental disorder. It is a
neurological disorder that affects the physical
functions of the nervous system . These '
disturbances in the electrical functions of the
brain can produce more than 20 different types
ofseizures that affect consciousness, movement
or sensation. I'm thrilled that the Union of
Students with Disabilities held a Hidden
Disabilities Awareness Day and that it was
covered by the CPJ. I am concerned about the
statement "hidden disabilities are mainly
mental disorders." This is a misconception that
I have been fighting for the seven years that I
. have had seizures. Many hidden disabilities are
. physical. This side was not explored in the article
yet many physical disabilities were pictured in
the graphic next to the article. This implies that
they too, are mental disorders. Last year, the CPj
ran a letter that called epilepsy a chronic disease,
this is also wrong.
Twenty-five million Americans have had or
will have at least one seizure at some time in their
lives. That is one in every 10 peojJle. Reoccurring
seizures are defined as epilepsy. One hundred
twenty-five thousand people will develop
epilepsy every year. The cause is usually
unknown . I have epilepsy because I was in a car
accident and bumped my head too hard.
·11·
Aside from social rejection, humiliation ,
and discrimination, women with epilepsy are
uniquely affected by epilepsy due to hormonal
cycles. As progesterone and estrogen fluctuate,
a woman's seizure threshold is weakened. Many
women experience seizures with the menstrual
cycles.
Adverse consequences of epilepsy include
severe and often debilitating side-effects from
medication, the inability to obtain insurance,
the inability to drive, the risk oflife- threatening
seizures, increased risk of sudden unexplained
death, elevated risk of suicide and manic
depression. My last convulsive seizure became
life threatening when I fell to the floor and had
three seizures without recovering. Seizures that
last more than ten minutes or multiple seizures
are an emergency because oxygen cannot get to
the brain.
Epilepsy was treated as (and was often
mistaken for) a mental disorder. This history
still affects our collective subconscious today
through apparent societal attitudes and the
abundance of ignorance. Treatments ranged
from restraining with a straight-jacket,
electrocution by.shock therapy, and lobotomies.

The LRC's Tom Maddox co-wrote episode airing Sunday
by Suzanne Skaar
Fire Goddess
Many Greeners have become addicted to
the weekly scuffle of skepticism versus faith
that is The X-Files. Scully and Moulder's faces
line the apartment walls of a frighteningly large
number of students' dorms and apartments.
Our two favorite F.B.1. agents will have added
significance on Sunday, Feb. 15, when
Tom Maddox is the one controlling
their puppet strings.
Maddox, acclaimed science
fiction writer and TESC Writing
Dir-ector, teamed up with fellow
science fiction auth or'and friend.
William Gibson, to write this
episode.
"We have known each other
since the early '80s and we had
talked about collaborating on
other things like short stories
or film scripts," Maddox
related in an interview earlier
this week.
G i b son,
author of Neuromallcer and
Mona Lisa Overdrive, resides
in Vancouver, B.C.. the film site
of The X-Files. The process of
writing an actual episode began
a couple of years .ago, after the
two chums had a discussion . .
Gibso n ca lled up productions to
see if they could visit the site and
met with the infamous Chris
Carter,
prod ucer/
creator of sa id
show. After the
visit, another

Gibson and Carter secured the opportunity to
write.
In a word. Maddox describes Carter as
"hyperfocused." He adds: "He basically has
no life except for The X-Files. And
Millennium to some degree ... but xFiles is where most of his attention

":~s easy. the work itself wa ~
not.
The hardest part of writing
the episode, as well as the part that took
the most time, was writing the story outline.
Maddox appeared exasperated as he reca lled
the process ofeveryone trying to agree how the
show should run.
"The producers have to agree to a scene,
and you have to agree to a scene, and once that
scene is kept you are whetted to it.. . The
producers have a sense that you as a writer
cannot be possibly expected to have. like: 'We
ca n do this easily,' or. 'We can do this but it
will be expensive,' or, 'We can 't do this at all. '
They know this stuff. they know the budget.
Once you get past that, thnest of the work is
like falling off a log. When you look at a show,
we probably threw out about 20 or 40 ideas
for everyone tha t made it in."
In the process of creating, the show was
put on the way side for quite a bit. After hitting
a bump in the writers' road as to what to do
with the fourth act of th e episode, Carter,
Gibson, and Maddox decided to "go away and
think about this for a couple of weeks" before
joining forces again to complete the project.
Things didn't quite go as planned.
"Well, he had a new show; he was doing
a feature film , the X-Files one; and he was
already working seven days a week!" Maddox

explained.' "I could never figure
out how could do it all. Our show just
fell off the edge and stayed there. They
would call every once in a while and say, 'This
is really going to happen, trust us.' In the fall ,
we finally went up and stayed with Chris and
finished the storyline."
In January. Maddox and his daughter
went up to witness a few days of taping, where
he saw hi s work come to life and talked to
David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson briefly.
He elaborated on the experience by saying,
"The director was wonderful, the technical
crew was wonderfu l; it wa s kind of like
watc hin g an elite military unit except th ey
don't kill people."
He oR'ered very few hints as to Sunday's
course of events for th e 9 p.m. time frame. "It 's
about trying to get rid of a malign being in th e
machinery... There's some humor in it , there's
also go ing to be so me violence. I don't know. I
just wrote it ," he ch uckled. He promises that
it will be scary, a little bit funny in parts, and
shock ing.
When asked why Maddox bega n writing,
he answered: "Why does anyo ne become a
writer? Ca n anyone truly answer that
quest ion? That's like the question why do I
write sc ience fiction, and to that I would say, I
don 'tknow. because I was dropped on my head
when I was little? That's as good an answer as
any... "
Future plans for th~ Fox dubbed "Science
Fiction Master?" Aside from having a novel in
the wings and wanting to write scripts for cop
shows, Maddox said, ''I'd love to do another
X-Files, I'd also like to do a 'Buffy.'''

No t Ill, they 're back to where they
started: my first impression is that this sounds
completely alien, as if the rules of what sounds
good together in a song were inverted, but as I
listen to it now for the fourth, fifth time, I find
their voices at once, you can only listen to one
at a time. The magic is that the music works in
such a way that you only have to listen to one
at a time. They are two halves of a whole. Two
great tastes that taste great together. Like a slab
of granite resting up against an equally weighty
choreographed dance number. If I ever were
going to shoot a lo-fi psychedelic beach movie,
I would invite the Halo Benders for a cameo to
playa couple songs. And, really, what higher
recommendation could one give?
Swing Dance!
by Jennifer Koogler
Swinging and dancing writer
This Saturday. Feb. 14 is Valentine's Day.
While this fact may evoke fear and loathing in
the more cynical and bitter sects of the Greener
population, a bright light shines on the dark
horizon . The Evergreen Queer Alliance (EQA)
will once again grace the campus with the fifth
annua l Swing Dance.
The dance starts in Lib. 4300 at 7 p.m.
when Swing instructor Lovica Ca llisti will give
dance lessons. At 9 p.m., the boogie-wooging
commences with Seattle Swing band Hot Set,
and will cont inue until the early morning
hours. You don't have to be present at the
instruction or know how to properly swing to
attend the dance.
This year, the EQA is gathering unused
personal hygenine items for the YWCA's Other
Bank (as opposed to a food bank). Donating
items like shampoo, soap, toothbrushes, and
toilet paper will get you $1 off of the ticket price
(on ly one discount per person). Admission to
the dance is $3 for Evergreen students with a
valida ted student ID and $S for the gene ral
public.
As in previous years, Stonewall Youth will
be taking Sweet heart photos for you to
commemorate your ('vening. Refreshing
refreshments will be provided by the
Nort hwest Gay and Lesbian Film FestivaL
Proceeds from each will benefit the respective
groups.
Formal evening wear is not necessary for
the dan ce but highly recommended. The
Swing Dance is one of the only times you will
see Greeners dressed up, a strange and often
fascinating phenomenon. EQA co-coordinator
Daisy Saffir says it's pretty weird to see "dresses
and dreadlocks" rather than the usual
Evergreen fashion style.
Co-coordinator Catherine Wilson, Saffir,
and the rest of the dedicated EQA volunteer
staff have worked since early this school year
to plan this year's event. The EQA approached
the S&A Board with a Special Initiative to cover
some of the costs of the dance (a Special
Initiative is a fund the Board sets aside for
projects not included in student group's
original budgets). For the first time in five
years, their request was denied. However, the
Board allowed the EQA to keep the revenue
they collect from the dance rather than putting
it back into the general student group pooL
If you cannot afford to come to the Swing
Dance but are sti ll interested in attending,
con tact the EQA at x6S44 for alternative
funding options, such as helping out with set
up and clean up.
