Last Friday around 12:30 p.m.,
a red hatchback pulled up to the
Parking booth on the driveway into
main campus. The car stopped and
the driver got out. He opened up the
trunk and pulled out a ri.fle. Aswarm
of television cameras crowded
around him .
Evergreen stud ent Robert
Walker staged a one-man protest
against the arming of Police Services.
He argued if Evergreen cops can have
guns on campus, everyone should be
able to .carry them. "Banning guns
for some and not for others leads to
an Orwellian situation where some of
us are more eq ua I than others" he
sa id after the protest.

This fall, Governor Gary Locke
will appoint two new members·to the
Board of Trustees at The Evergreen
State Co llege. The seven people who
make up the board make decisions
which effect the students' daily lives
on campus.The two open positions
011 the board will be fi ll ed with or
without student input.
The board is in charge in
dt'lega tin g responSibil ity to th e
admin ist rati on, and they are in
charge of making big po li cy
decisio ns. For example, the board
made th e decision to give Police

quarter system rather than a
proposed semester system.
Las t week, thr Cooper Point
jOllma/ published a letter written by
Nick Mitchell, th e board's student
representative, and Bryan Freeborn,
the alternate student representative.
It was a letter to Locke addressing
some concerns that some of th e
student body has about who should
be selec ted to fill the two posi tions
on the board. Mitchell talked to
several Evergreen studen ts before
writing this letter.
"The board is an abstraction on
campus,"' Mitche.lI said, after the
lerter was written, "Students don't
ha ve a sense of what they do."
But Mitchell doesn't blame the
stud ents . He points out th at Ih e
board meetings are held in a large,
scenic conference room hidden away
on the third floor of th e Library
adjacent to presid ent Jane Jervi s's
office.
"It's like you've stepped into
another world or something," he
said.
But it's what goes on in that
co nferenc e room Mitchell thinks
students don't fully understand. "It's
more than people don't know the
meetings are happening:' he said.
"People don't really rea li ze how the
decisbns that arc made in the board
room will effect their lives as
students."
-Mitchell and Freeborn
brought up two major issues in their
letter to Locke. One was that sO llie
students want to see more diversity
on the boa rd. The second issue was
that some students wanted to see an
appointment given to a person not
beca use they hold a job in the
corporate world, but because they
disting uish th emselves in a career
consistent with the same ideological
grounding Eve rgreen was found ed
on.
"I agree with the letter:' said
Heidi Eckel, a fourth-year student.
"We need [Trustees} who agree wit h
the Eve rgreen environm ent ,
curri culum , and the social
CO il tract."
Jam il a Thomas . another
four th-year student, ec hoed Eckel's
belief. '" thin k that Ithe two new
board mem bers] should be

Sheriff'S' office was airelldy pursU$g the car, '
they were in charge of the investig~tion .
Essentially, Police Services' role was.to report
that Ii stole.n car was retrieved ~ the sheriffs
took it from there.
A~ the car, Griffith was given a general
~scription of the suspect ~ a 6-foot-2-inch.
210 poun.d black male. According to Griffith,
when he mentioned that most of his
roommates fit that description,. the deputies
immediately started to accuse thelJ1 of the theft.
They even insinuated that Griffith had given the
roommates the key and told them to steal it,
despite the fact that the window was broken in
and the ignition pulled out. Griffith also said
he was asked jfthe methamphatamines found
in the car were his. The deputies then took the
car away to be finger printed.
Later that(!Vening, the sheriff's deputies
came to Griffith's dorm, ostensibly to talk to
him. but rousted his roommates from their
rooms. According to Griffith. they then poked
around. trying to casually look around the
rooms, asking if anyone had .any drugs.
Griffith said the de.puties continually
used an accusatory tone with him and the
roommates. latersaying that one of his
roommates was the primary suspect, despite
the fact the roommate \l\(as in class with
Griffith at the time of the theft,
.
Said Griffith of the situation with the
Sheriff's deputies, "I thin.k they kind of
blinded themselves when they looked at my
roommates, They closed their eyes to
anything else."
Several of the roommates sent a letter
to the Sheriff's Office complaining about
their treatment, So far, there has been no
response,
At present, Griffith doesn't even know
what is happening with the case, He got his
car back last week, which is currently being
repaired with over $1,000 in damages_ "The
la st I heard, they said they had two suspects,
All they need is evidence."

The committee in charge of making
recommendations on what Housing needs to
do in the future has made a preliminary
report.
The committee was created in the fall
of 1996 by Art Costantino, vice preSident of
student affairs, to answer the question,
"What are the college's expectations of
Housing?"
Six specific points were put forth in the
charge as a context for answering this
question. They were: expansion, serving new
populations, academic integration,
standards, fiscal responsibility, and
environmental design,
Committee members include faculty,
staff and students with the hopes of bringing
a wide variety ofinterests to the.work of the
committee , These range from creating
sustainable communities to designing living!
learning centers, as well as exploring
residence life opportunities for the not·sotypical student such as single parents with
.children or part-time and commuting
students,
The preliminary report from the
committee, available from the Library on
closed reserve, is a lO-page opus dealing with
the results of the committee's investigations.
Among the findings are: Housing should
experiment with making some space
available to commuting students, Housing
should pursue a "hostel" model of having
some short-term housing available for a
variety of users, th e building and design of
prototypes for expanded housing should be
conducted through th e curriculum ,
beginning in 1999, any expansion to Housing
sh o uld adh ere to a n environment ally
sensitive form and fun ction , and Housing
should be planned as a fully functional
community, complete with amenities and
services necessary to student life ,
Currently, the Housing committee is
seeking responses on the report. There will be
an open meeting from 3 to 6 p,m. on Nov, 12 in
the Housing Community Center to discuss the
preliminary report. Refreshments will be
served, Also, you can respond in writing to
Nancy McKinney in Library 3127 or via e-mail
at mckinney@elwha,evergreen,edu
Once response has been received, the
committee will meet to review and revise the
report and present a final report to the
Costantino before the end of the year.

"And now have I not told you that what
you mistake for madness is but overacuteness of the senses?--now, I say, there
came to my ears a low, dull, quick sound,
such as a watch makes when enveloped in
cotton, I knew that sound well too, 1t was
the beating of the old man't heart."
"No doubt I now grew very pale: ... Yet
the sound increased--and what could I do?"

New Health Center Director
Shannon Ellis, dean of student and academic support
services, announced on Oct. 27 that Evergreen grad Elizabeth
Nyman has accepted the position of Director of the Student
Health and Counseling Center. Ellis sa id although all the
finalists for the position were well qualified , it was a
combination of Nyman's administrative experience, clinical
skills, and positive evaluations from students and staff that led
to the job offer. "She can offer our students a wide variety of
health services, She is excited to begin," said Ellis,
Across campus at the Student Health Center, Physician
AssistantJanet Partlow is also excited, Partlow remembers that
when Nyman was a student here she worked at the Health
Center for three years, eventually co-managing the women's
clinic. "Elizabeth understands Evergreen culture. She is
someone who is very committed to Evergreen," said Partlow,
She also said 75 percent· of the Health Centers clients are
women, many of whom prefer to have a woman health care
provider. Having another woman on staff will help greatly in
meeting their needs,
Nyman received her BS/BA from Evergreen in 1991, and
went on to get her Physician Assistant certification from the
University of Kentucky, For the past four years she has been
working as a Physician Assistant at Group Health in Seattle.

You don 't know where your polling place is.
You can't find a stamp to mail your ballot.

There is a bond initiat ive to build a new public

But th e main reason 10 vote is beca use you ca n. If
you are a citizen you have both the right and Ihe duty to
take part in the governance of this country, this state, and
Ihis loca lit y. People all over the world are literally dying
to get this right. It 's the coll aboration of all of us that
makes it possible for democracy to exist, and all it takes
for tyran ny to succeed is the indifference of too many.
It's often the case that people who zralously support a
ca use or a particular position are more likely to turn out
and vote than those who are indifterent, or too busy, or
too alienated, In fact, fro m tim e to time there have been
people on campus urging st udent s not to vote.
My parents came to thi s co untry as politica l

"our country, love it or leave it, " but "our country, love

So I am asking you to take this election seriously.
The outcomes of elections matter. The outcome of this
election will matter. Please vote if you can. Whether or

there's the New England witch-hunts and
subsequent burnings at the stakes. In 1813,
President Jackson had Creek communities

white trespassers.
Pretty soon the KKK thought a burning

their contribution to the genre, along with

As the decade of the 1980s fa des into obscurity,
America ns are left to ponder exactly what went wrong
wit h th at tu rbulent era. Let's face it - not much went
ri ght. From th e scandal -ridd en Reagan / Bush
admini strations to th e melt down at Chern obyl, the 80's
were bad news. The way I see it, the fin ger of blame ca n
be pointed at one group in particular, and I'm not talking
about members of th e Church of Scientology. No-sirree,
I'm talking about those trou blesome Nielsen ratings
families. You know, the ones whose television viewing
habits are monitored in order to obtain vital inform ation
about what programs are popular with th e entire nation,
These are the parasit es who, over the years, have been
responsible for snuffing out such enlightening slices of
entertainment induding The Grea test American Hero,
Hee-HalV, Riptidea nd others too numerous to mention.
A fa ir and just society woul d've had these traitors put in
front of a fi ri ng squad eons ago, but alas, their reign of
terror continues to this day. Anyhow, back to the 80sa decade which produced a vast cornu Cbpia offin e small
screen programming, much of which got the proverbi al
axe after onl y one or two short but glorious seasons.
We're not talking abou t The Cosby Shu w, Miami Vice
or Cheers, either. Shows of that nature, wi th th eir
immense popularity amongst th e great unwashed, will
forever be in sy ndication, availabl e for daily vi ewing
sometim e between the five o'clock news and prime tim e.
The programs I would like to hi ghlight in this piece are
those of which we will, in all likelin ess never, ever see
again in the co urse of our short, miserable lives. And
while the Nielsen fa milies may have shrugged off these
10 classic ditt ies as un fi t for visual consumption, th o~;e
among us with brains bigger than chestnuts will see them
fo r what they truly are - the only salvageable remnants
of an era whi ch our descendants will no doubt refer to
as "The Dawn of the Apocalypse."
Squa re Pegs - The concept of this sit-com reads
like a Bill Gates autobiography. A gaggle of technogeeks
s trugg le to persevere despite daily beatin gs and
harassment at th e hands of jocks, chee rleaders and
ornery cafeteria ladies wearing hairnets. A swell idea
would be to put together a 90s version of Square Pegs,
but th e producers could substitute "goth " types for
computer nerds.
Manimal- Hero is able to morph himself from a
human being into a bi zarre beast that resembl es a cross
between a panther and plate of fried chicken livers,
EI R - No, this is not a mi sprint. About 10 years
before George Cloo ney disgraced nati onal telev ision
with his ridiculously silly haircut on th e current EI R that
we all kn ow and hate, another program with the same
title aired on a network th at I can't quite recall (although
the geriatric-centered CBS co mes to min d) . In any case
the old EI R was about as exciting as a jar of generic brand
mayonn aise. Add to that the lead surgeon played by the
frighteningly uncharismatic Elliot Gould and you have
all the ingredients for a short-lived, humorless flop .
V - Who can forget this se ri es chron icling the
st ruggles of the human race aga ins t an army of
intergalacti c alien lizards? Fine performances are given
by the woman playing Diana, the sexy, rodent-munching
reptile queen and Marc Singer of the Beastmasterfilms.
Also features Robert "Freddy Krueger" Englund in one
of his first and finest roles.
Charles in Charge- After his enormous success
as Chachi on Happy Days, Scott Baio, realizing that he
was teen America's beefcake of the month, took the role
of a horny babysitter in this small screen tribute to the
child-rearing industry. Although not a big winner in the
ratings books, Baio was able to make a few bucks on the
side with hit films like Zapped! and sporadic
appearances on the cover of Dynamite magazine.
Lottery- Lottery may have worked as a sit-com,
but trying to stretch such an insane concept into an hour
long action/drama was a futile effort. Each week, these
two poor schmucks would be in charge of tracking down
three or four different winning lottery ticket polders.
Sometimes one of the winners would lose their ticket,
and these two bastards wou ld play detectives, helping
the soon-to-be-millionaire retrace their footsteps _Other
times they managed to get involved with street gangs,
pimps , used car salesmen and other garden variety

by J, Brian Pitts
The slowest working man in show business
Who's to blame?!? I demand to know who is at fault for this
catastrophe. How the hell did a piece of crap like I Kn ow What You
Did Last Summer hang on to the top of the charts with more than
$13 million while a brilliant masterpiece like A Life Less Ordinary
ma ke only $2.1 million, opening at ninth place. I want explanations,
I wa nt answers, I want heads to roll.
This movi e has something for everyone, It's got action,
romance, comedy, eye-candy in many fornls. Ewan McGregor and
Cameron Diaz sing Karaoke and have a lavish 40's dance number in
a hillbilly bar. Its got a hot soundtra ck with a killer new track from
Beck. Seriously people, its got HoUy Hunter and Delroy Lindo as
gun-toting angels, for christsakes. About th e only thing that it's
missing is Mr. McGregor naked, which I thought was a contractual
obligation for him, but maybe th e excess amount of his skin in The
Pillow Book made up for it.
So, in light of all this good stuff the film has to offer, why this
dismal opening? Obviously, the filmmakers are not at fault. The trio
(director Danny Boyle, producer Andrew Macdonald, and writer
John Hodge) that created Shallow Graveand Trainspottingjust keep
getting better at their respective roles, The dialogue is sharp and
witty, the film is well paced and nicely ph,Q1ographed, and the
producing is ... well, they got the money to do the film , didn't they?
Was it the publicists? I think not. Slick, exciting ads all over '
network television and MTV, which also produced a half-hour
"making of" special. Photographs of the stars have graced the cover
of many a movie magazin-e; twice that amount have featured
interviews and feature articles. Giant banners have dominated movie
theater lobbrt'es for months, as have posters,
How about the critics? Ahhhh, now we're getting somewhere.
Our nation's reviewers have given A Life Less Ordinal)'consistently
mediocre-ta-poor reviews, Okay, sure, that hurt them a bit, but how
often do the viewing public actually pay attention to critical
opinions? No, the critics are not the destroyers of this film's chance
at financial success.
This is, beyond a shadow ofa doubt, the fault of the dumb-ass
average American audience member, You know who I'm talking
about - the kind of person who made AIlaconda a success but
wouldn't give Grosse PointeBlanka second glance. The sizable group
of citizens that People magazine is targeted at. The folks who can
the Cooper Point Journal
-11-
look you straight in the eye and say, with no sense of sarcasm or
irony, that Independence Day was an original and creative story,
Why are people staying away from this film in droves? Is it the
title? Is it the fact that, even though he's going to play Obi-Wan in
the new Star Wars films, some people think Ewan McGregor is
nothing but a geek on heroin? Or perhaps they are angry that these
Scottish Hlmmakers who have built a better romantic comedy/fish
out ofwater/road movie, beating the Americans at their own genres.
For whatever reason, it's a cryin' shame that the opening day
screening I attended was so far from full , I thought I had walked
into the wrong screen_
So I issue a challenge to all who read this: when you go to the
movies this weekend, pretend that A life Less Ordinal)' has just
opened_ It won't be hard; nothing but crap opens on Friday anyway,
and this way, you'll miss the flood of negative reviews from such
reputable sources as USA Today. Go to an early matinee, Ifyou really
hate it, stay calm. You can always go get a drink or four and then try
again that evening. However, if you have even the slightest inkling
ofjoy when the credits roll, run and grab as many friends as you can
and drag them to the next aV'dilable show. People need to know what
a great film this is and with November looming as a clone of June,
with big-budget effects flicks opening every weekend, this is their
one shot at public redemption. Help A Life Less Ordinary; you're
it's only hope.

two fe llows who are ab le to travel through time using a little
