However, the probationary officer didn't
qualify to pass the screening process during
probation and has since resigned.
In Savage's dismissal letter, Huntsberry
contends Savage omitted information that

Huntsberry began to question whether or

an officer because of information that came up
during the probation screening process in
January, Huntsberry said in the letter.
In February, Huntsberry told Savage to

Address Correction Requested
At the Corner Cafe, a few things have
changed. Don't worry, though, the food is still
tasty and it is still operated by students. Most
of the changes are intended to make your dining
experience more efficient and convenient.
Gone are the days of heaping salads piled
with far too many sprouts for one human to
consume and globs of lemon tahini dressing
so thick they might as well be pudding. The
Corner now has a serve yourself salad bar
sitting in front of the cafe, for customers to
create their own vegetable monstrosities. All
the regulars are back; shredded carrots, red
cabbage, creamy dill dressing. But for 20 cents
an ounce, you are now in charge of your own
sprout destiny.
The Corner will also feature more
consistent menu offerings, like wraps and
burritos, along with a smaller variety of dinner
entrees. Each of the items are around the same
prices as last year, starting at about $2.25 for a
burrito and $2.75 for an entree.
The Corner has also added an espresso
machine and a juice machine for customers

Our sister county
Students visit Santo Tomas, Nicaragua
by Justin Umhpltz
and Qy-Ana Manning
TSTSCA members
\t spring a group of six
students traveled to Santo Tomas, Nicaragua
to participate in the second year of an exchange
program sponsored by TESC and the
Thurston-Santo Tomas Sister County
Association (TSTSCA). Since its founding in
1987 TSTSCA has worked in solidarity with
the people of Santo Tomas to take a stand
against U.S. foreign policy that causes the
dependency and economic deterioration of
Central America. Solidarity efforts have
tocused on fostering personal ties between our
communities and supporting activities that
promote self-determination and selfsufficiency tor the Nicaraguan people.
While in Santo Tomas, TESC students
lived with Nicaraguan families, attended
Spanish classes, worked on individual
academic projects, and participated in a wide
variety of community projects coordinated by
the Committee for Community Development
in Santo Tomas. These projects included a
non-profit health clinic, a community
education and nutrition center, a women's
sewing cooperative, and a women's farming
cooperative
"Living and working in Santo Tomas
proved to be one of the most exciting and
s ; O S j e ar
rewarding experiences of my life," said Qy-Ana
Manning, one of the students who recently
returned. "I can't wait to go back to visit my
Evergreen
friends and family and work more with the
community."
As a means to share their experiences and
promote interest in the Santo Tomas student
exchange program (and TSTSCA), the 1997
student delegation will be presenting a slide
show at TS.TSCA's Annual Potluck and
Membership Meeting on Mon., Oct. 20 at 6
p.m. at the First United Methodist Church (at
the corner of Legion and Boundary Streets, in
East Olympia). Everyone is invited and
encouraged to attend this outrageous event!
Students will also be presenting slides and
holding a discussion period at TESC on Nov. 6
for those who can't make the potluck. Other
activities in the works include a Salsa/
Merengue dance party in November, as well as
further discussions, Nicaraguan poetry
readings, films and more.
We're also excited to announce the
impending visit of two grade-school teachers
from Santo Tomas who will be arriving in
Olympia in early January! They will be
speaking both on and off campus about their
lives and experiences, as well as the social,
political, and economic realities in Nicaragua.
If you're interesting in learning more about
the student exchange or becoming involved with
the TSTSCA, please contact 866-1912.

Who

graffiti?
last week we took
a closer look at..
at
by Amber Rack
HINT:
Once upon a time there was a
little grey man. He lived in a magical
green forest. A group of travelers was
wandering through the forest when
they came upon the little grey man.
"What is your destination?"
asked the little grey man.
"We seek adventure, excitement,
lost treasures, and really good food."
The little grey man sighed. "You
must go to the center of the forest; there
you will find what you seek."
As they made their way into the
forest, the travelers overheard two
vicious robbers talking.
"I say we take on the little grey
man tomorrow," one said.
"You've been sniffing pine cones
again, haven't you?" said the other.
The travelers left the vicious
robbers and didn't hear what came
next.
How maintenance
works
by Sara King
Contributing Writer
During the 14 years Clint Steele has
worked for Evergreen on Maintenance, he's
seen a lot of changes, and a lot of weird things
occur. Besides the graffiti that seems to
mysteriously pop up over night, stranger
things have happened. At one time, for nearly
four years straight, someone had "plagued" the
maintenance department, by constantly and
consistently tearing offdoor knobs in buildings
all over campus. Fortunately, the thief just
went away eventually, but where does the
money come from, to fix these weird
occurrences?
The Evergreen State College maintenance
departments receive a one million-dollar
budget to work with for the next two years. The
budget is funded by the state legislature and
goes to doing jobs all over campus. They're
called capital projects and range anywhere
from putting in exterior lighting at the Organic
Farm to replacing the wood railings around the
library entrances, building a new Organic Farm
deck and putting in more emergency phones
on campus. The projects could literally be
anything. Maintenance works to keep campus
veryone that uses it. "The cam
campus community."
In reality, many students don't know
much about Maintenance. They always try to
work around the students, planning larger jobs
when school is not in session and working at
night. Other jobs they try to slip in when
possible, always thinking about the campus
community's use. Maintenance works closely
with Space Management, so they know where
the students are going to be and when. They
also work closely with the Environmental
Health and Safety office, to get approval for
products that they use. Occasionally they've
had to change products due to people's health
concerns.
When asked what some problems were
for working at Evergreen, Clint really didn't
have any. Besides the occasional waves of
vandalism, Evergreen seems to be a great
school to work for. In general the students are
supportive of the work Maintenance does.

Choose your own curriculum
Forum will give students a say in class formation
by Jennifer Koogler
Editor in chief
If you've ever held a new Evergreen catalog
in your hands, you've felt the anticipation as you
eagerly flip to your area of interest. And you may
have felt the frustration of not finding a program
o you.
If this situation has occurred to you one
time too many, you should attend the student
curriculum forum this Wed. Oct. 22 from 1 to
3:30 p.m. in the Longhouse Cedar Room. This
student generated forum is an opportunity for
students to tell the faculty what kinds of classes
they would like to see offered in the future.
Fourth year student Jason Schwarz is a
peer counselor in the Academic Planning and
Experiential Learning (APEL). He is
coordinating the forum in an effort to raise
student participation in program development
and awareness of how our classes are formed.
Schwarz stresses the importance of
freshmen and sophomores attending the
meeting, as the suggestions offered will benefit
them directly. Because classes are formed about
two years in advance, they have the chance to
say exactly what they want to take in their later
years here.
Third and fourth year students' comments
are also important, says Schwarz, as they have
"first hand knowledge of where there are
inefficiencies" in the class offerings. Having
been here for awhile, they have a greater
perspective of what isn't being taught at
Evergreen.
Transfer students are valuable to the
student contribution process, the peer counselor
adds. He says they bring their experiences of
other colleges and programs that worked for
them.
Schwarz suggests students come with ideas
for classes they would like to see in the future
and areas of study which are underrepresented
in the current curricular offerings. Students who
have worked on contracts in the past which were
of particular of interest to a wide array of
students are invited to suggest their ideas for
possible programs.
The faculty and deans need to know not
only what types of classes students want, but
when they want them to be offered, says
Schwarz. Most full time classes at Evergreen last
three quarters, but recently the number of one
and two quarter programs has increased.
Schwarz says if students want more one quarter
classes in the spring or more two quarter classes
starting in winter, or other such arrangements,
the forum gives them an opportunity to let these
concerns be known.
Schwarz invited the coordinators from
each of the five planning groups that divide
programs into areas of study. Rita Pougiales and
Bill Arney from Culture, Text and Language
(Perspectives on Ireland, Music and Theater in
Cultural Context, etc.), Mike Beug from
Environmental Studies (Introduction to
Environmental Studies, Ecological Agriculture,
etc.), Sally Cloninger from Expressive Arts (Art
Media Praxis, Foundation of Visual Arts, etc.),
David Paulsen from Scientific Inquiry (Data to
it"tpr ar\r\\r ^ ax\t\n Dobbs from SociaTScience (PoliticaT
Economy of Inequality, Science of Mind, etc.)
head the faculty in these areas to help guide
program development. He also invited
representatives from Part Time Studies, which
not only accommodates students going to
school half time, but helps full time students to
fulfill prerequisites and supplement their
programs.
Programs at Evergreen are mainly
designed by the professors. Faculty get together
in groups or come up on their own with ideas
for classes, planning for them at least two school
years in advance. Deans, similarly, identify
holes in the curriculum and suggest ideas for
classes to fill them. Schwarz says he invited
representatives from both groups to hear
students' concerns because "both sides have
ears."
Schwarz scheduled the forum so the
faculty and deans would have student's concerns
in mind as they go to retreat three weeks from
now. Retreats are used as a space for dialogue
about the breath of our curriculum, particularly
first year programs.

Evergreen Medieval Society
workshops
The Evefgreen Medieval Society presents a series of
workshops designed to educate and illuminate newcomers
about Medieval and Renaissance recreation in modern times,
known as Newcomers Learning Days. Beginning level
workshops of information about medieval costume
construction, heraldry, cooking, dancing and music, court
behavior and manners, light and heavy fighting and much
more. Admission is $2 for TESC students with ID, and $5
without. Bring a bowl, plate, cup and spoon. For more
information, call Gaelis O'Alae at x6412.
Study abroad opportunities
According to Chris Ciancetta, Coordinator of
International Programs and Affairs, studying abroad is one of
the most educational experiences. "You learn things about
yourself you would have never known." Ciancetta herself
studied in London while in college. There are different ways
students can study abroad while attending Evergreen. The first
way is through programs offered at Evergreen. There are six
programs going abroad to Greece, Chile, France, Ecuador, Costa
Rica, and Ireland this year. Another option is through exchange
programs and study abroad institutes. This allows students to
attend universities in countries around the world and
participate in programs in Japan, South Africa, Mexico, France,
and Central America. The third option is through an individual
contract. This allows for self-directed studies abroad, but
requires the most dedication. The APEL, in Library 1401, has
information on all of the study abroad programs open to
Evergreen students. Workshops concerning study abroad will
be Oct. 20, 10 to 11:30 a.m. and Nov. 4, 12 to 1:30 p.m. in
Library 2101.

What is this?
Monday morning, students walking to and on
Red Square were greeted with an interesting
sight. Dangling from various trees, doors and
posts were what looked like strips of bacon from
afar. On closer examination, the hanging objects
were revealed to be tampons soaked in ketchup.
This incident is the second time random (and
somewhat disgusting) items have been hung

Housing residents get wired
ResNet offers students cable television and fast Internet access
by Tak Kendrick
Staff writer ^
ResNet is coming.
The pieces are beginning to fall into place for
the installation of the next step in Housing's
$1.2 million wiring project. The Evergreen
Residential Network, or ResNet, will give all
residents access to the school's computer
network as well as being a smaller network just
for housing residents.
The first step in making ResNet a reality
was installed over the summer. The
communication boxes, which have ports for
cable, phone and ethernet, as well as the hardwiring for the ports was installed in all the
buildings except the Mods. The next step,
according to Pat Castaldo, ResNet coordinator,
is to connect each of the buildings to the HUBs
and routers, or control boxes that will route all
of the information to and from the dorm rooms
to the Housing and campus networks.
TOWARDS THE
FUTURE
advantage to the HUBs ResNet will install. In
the future, when connections to the Internet
can be made faster, and when the campus
network is upgraded, ResNet will already be in
a position to use the new technology.
THE FIRST LINE OF
SUPPORT
Mike Segawa, Housing director, says the
new HUBs and routers are about six to seven
weeks away. In the meantime, ResNet is not
sitting idle. Castaldo recently interviewed 16
people for four positions as ResTechs.
According to their mission statement, ResTechs
are "responsible for the on-going support and
education of Housing residents on Evergreen's
Residential Network. ResTechs
are Housing's first line of
computer, telephone and cable
television support, working
directly with residents in their
rooms to get and keep them
_____
The HUBs and
routers are on order from
Cisko Products. While
Housing and Castaldo had
hoped to have the
equipment earlier in the
year, the wait has brought
about good things.
Originally, ResNet was
going to operate with an
older model of the HUBs
which would allow
connection speeds oneway of up to 10 times that
of what the campus
network currently uses.
The models ResNet ended up with, however,
are newer, cheaper and allow two-way
connections of the same speed. Right now,
most home computer can't operate at that fast
of a speed. Because the campus network is
slower and the lines that connect the campus
to the Internet can't handle the increased
speed, the faster speed of the HUBs is
negligible. But, Castaldo stresses, there are
the residents who are connected.
This includes troubleshooting,
maintenance, and even some
help in general computer
programs such as Word or Excel.
The ResTechs, says Castaldo, will also be giving
workshops for residents in the spring, based on
topics or problems that the residents want
addressed.
Currently, the ResTechs are beginning
their training in anticipation for a month and
a half from now. Once the HUBs arrive, their
real work begins.
COMING SOON — RESNET
-photos courtesy of housing
connected."
During Fall quarter and early part of
Winter quarter, the primary part of the
ResTech's jobs will be to help connect residents
to ResNet. This involves showing them how to
hook up the equipment to their computers,
setting up software and providing tutorial help.
In the later part of winter and in the spring, the
ResTechs will be mostly doing support work for
ResNet will unfold in stages. As soon as
the HUBs come in, installation will begin.
Castaldo and Housing have planned for the
installation to occur one building at a time, to
give the ResTechs the ability to help connect
residents on an individual basis, instead of
suddenly having hundreds of jacks and
hundreds of residents wanting to be connected
immediately.
They will begin with E-dorm and work
their way through U-dorm, finishing up with
B, C and D dorms and finally A-Dorm. Each
dorm will require two HUBs, with the possible
exception of A-Dorm which, due to its size,
might require three or four HUBs.
Once everything is in place, connecting
to the network is easy and relatively cheap. PC
users will have to buy an Ethernet card which
retails for about $25-40 depending on the
brand and capabilities. All new Macs already
have Ethernet built-in and require not
additional cards. At present, Castaldo is not
sure whether resident will have to supply the
cables that will connect their computers to the
Ethernet ports. In some of the dorms, due to
the physical dimensions of the space, the ports
might be up to 25 feet from where a resident
would want to put a computer. In that case,
special cables are required which Castaldo
plans to check-out to residents.
ResNet is coming. While their have been
a few speed bumps in getting the network
connected, Castaldo is confident that the goal
of getting all residents connected by the end
of the quarter will be achieved.

it will be installed in your dorm, call the

Mara Simmons worked at the Corner last
year and seems enthusiastic about the new
changes. The goal was to make the Corner
more accessible, consistent and "efficient
without selling out," says Simmons. Last year,
the Corner's staff came up with a floor plan for
the new arrangement (a mini counter, separate
register area , display cases for sodas and
desserts and the aforementioned salad bar).
They have divided their consensus decision
making process, creating smaller committees
to work on things like hiring and community
outreach, and then reporting back to the larger
group. Simmons says they hope this system
will help them run more efficiently. To
accommodate the changes in menu and
operation, the Corner now has 28 members, a
number somewhat larger than last year.
Friday, Oct. 10 was opening day for the
Corner. Simmons says the lines sprawled from

Basketball brings a booster club
by Hillary Rossi
Staff writer
Starting next month, The Evergreen
State College will have its first men's and
women's basketball teams. Pete Steilberg, the
director of athletics, called basketball the first
traditional or mainstream sport to be played
at Evergreen. He is therefore hoping
basketball will help fans from the college and
community trickle from out of the woodwork.
The athletics department of the college
is starting a booster club for Evergreen's
sports' teams. Members of the boosters club
will lend support to the teams either by
donating money so the teams can afford
equipment or travel.or being present at the
game for support, says Steilberg. Students,
Evergreen community members, or local
businesses can belong to the booster club.
Washington's Secretary of State Ralph
Monroe met with men's basketball coach
John Barbee and the women's basketball club, Evergreen's athletic department is also
coach Rick Hardin and told them he would selling banner space to local businesses that
like to support the basketball teams. Steilberg will have banners to be hung from the

usually itself by the revenue from renting out
In conjunction with having a booster the swimming pool, gymnasiums and play
fields to local schools, said Steilberg. But
when the basketball teams were formed, the
athletic department needed more money for
equipment and travel.
Early in the 1980s, the first booster club
was started at Evergreen. But by the mid1980s, five of the seven Evergreen sports were
cut. Student enthusiasm was lost, and with
it, the club.
"We have always needed a booster club,"
Steilberg said. "We need money for teams to
go on trips." It costs approximately seven
thousand dollars for a small team to go on
trips, and Steilberg says that the basketball
teams would qualify as small.
The athletic department need student
participation to create the booster club, says
Steilberg, and while they don't always have
the money to donate to the booster club, they
can always cheer. Students interested in the
booster club should contact Steilberg at

Pete Steilberg
Director of Athletics.
Thanks to Elizabeth Thomas for her informative
article, "Brain Rot," in the Oct. 9 issue of the CPJ. There
were a couple of minor errors in her article that that I
would like to take a moment to correct.
The Fore people live in Papal New Guinea, not in
Australia. The probable means of transmission of kuru
in that population was not the ingestion of animal brains,
but rather, of human brains.
Some anthropologists (Lyle Steadman of Arizona
State University, for example) argue that there is no evidence
of the practice of ritual cannibalism among the Fore. I
personally find the evidence for the practice described in
the fieldwork of SUNY graduate school anthropologist
Shirley Lindenbaum ("Kuru Sorcery" — Mayfield, 1979) to
be meticulous, and overwhelmingly persuasive.
At any rate, Steadman argues that kuru was
transmitted in the Fore population through the handling
of human corpses (which involved ritual
dismemberment). Nobody, to my knowledge, has made
the claim that kuru was transmitted through the handling
of non-human animal remains.
This does not negate the slightest the possibility that
prion-based diseases can spread from animals to humans,
and Thomas is most informative on this point.
One final note—Evergreen students could do worse
than learn everything they can about Dr. Stanley
Prusiner's story. His discovery of prions in 1982 met with
ridicule and rejection from the majority of the scientific
community, since the prions have properties that run
counter to the conventional thinking of the day. His
journey from pariah status to winner of the Nobel Prize
has given me great inspiration and comfort.
Greeners would do well to remember that every
community has its orthodoxy, and none are immune to error.

War on crime
SATIRE
There's a war on crime. Crime has been down,
according to the FBI, for several years straight, so we have
to get tougher on crime. And part of that is arming our
police. We trust our police. They could never do anything
wrong, and they never make mistakes. So we need to give
them the firepower to fight nuclear hacker terrorists!
Because there's a war on crime.
Clock 40's aren't enough. I think cops need some
real firepower. Like Uzi's. Who knows what reefer-mad
drug-crazed junkies might do. In fact, for practice we
should set up a shooting range on the soccer field. That
way everyone can develop the sharpshooting skills that
are necessary to dispose of a target at 600 rounds per
second. Because there's a war on crime.
And due to domestic terrorism, 1 don't think that
police cars are enough either. The police need some armor
for protection. Why not use the real machinery of war?
I'm talking tanks. Why bother kicking down doors when
you can plow right on through? There's a war on crime!
But it shouldn't stop with our police. I think everyone
should carry guns. Maybe we could make it a requirement
for admittance, along with GPA and SAT scores. "Please
indicate the class of weapon you own, and whether you
carry a concealed weapons permit." The men can carry
shotguns or bolstered pistols. The women can carry nice
Berettas in their bookbags. We can say, "We're a WESTERN
school. Try carrying a weapon of mass destruction at any
of those East coast Ivy League schools. You're SAFE here
with your weapon!" Because there's a war on crime.
I want to feel the power and euphoria that comes with
knowing that I could blow anyone to kingdom come
whenever I like. It's my right as an American to carry a gun
and it's an affront to the Constitution that I should not be
allowed to have one in my own home on campus. What if
some skater punks were to try to rob me? With a gun, I
could deal them the death penalty. Ha! Sole judge and jury.
That'll teach them to mess with me and try to steal my wallet.
Because there's a war on crime.

Clean room environment
Did you know that a person at rest can shed 1520,000 particles per minute? That's why many
industries such as electronics, semiconductor, biotech,
and pharmaceutical use clean rooms. A clean room is
an area in which the particles are kept to a minimum.
Clean rooms are classified by how many particles exist
per cubic foot. For instance, a Class 10 clean room
has the air inside maintained so that there are just 10
particles more than O.Sia (1/12,000 of an inch) wide
per cubic foot. This is many times cleaner than a
hospital surgery room. Clean room air can also be
regulated for temperature, humidity, and pressure
depending on what the clean room is being used for.
For a semiconductor manufacturer, a clean room
fabrication area is maintained in order to prevent
defects in the memory. It has been estimated that by
the end of this decade, electrical components on
silicon chips will measure less than G.2[i in width.
When this occurs, dust particles 0.01p.or larger will
be a big concern for semiconductor manufacturers.
The cost of building and maintaining clean rooms is
enormous; in 1991 Motorola spent $650 million to
build a Class 1 factory r in Austin, Texas. For
semiconductor manufacturers, the cleaner the
fabrication area is, the higher the yield of microchips
and profits. The title of one article 1 read says it best:
"Cleanliness, is Next to Competitiveness."
Ironically, a year ago at Eastman Kodak Co. in
Rochester, N.Y., it was discovered that clean room air
filters which had been treated with a fire retardant
were the cause of a defect in some memory. Singlecrystal-silicon is specially grown with a certain
percentage of impurity to produce specific electrical
characteristics; the fire retardant contained
phosphorous which settled on the chips, altering their
electrical properties. Luckily the problem was
discovered before the entire clean room was
contaminated.
Since people can contaminate a clean room just
by being in one, many manufacturers (mostly in
Japan) are using robots to cut contamination and
costs. The U.S., however, still depends on people to
do most of the transporting of silicon wafers within

clean room. In addition, mousse, gel, lotion, makeup, fingernail polish, perfume, and powder-based
deodorant are prohibited. Inside the clean room,
employees may not scratch their faces or expose any
skin. For example, if an employee checked his or her
watch, many particles would be released into the air.
Even pens and paper are made just for clean room use.
Lint-free polyester paper and special ink that does not
outgas are common clean room items.
A unique property of clean room environment
is that posotive air pressure is maintained throughout
the clean room. Air is pumped in through the ceiling
and out through the floor. Even large rooms
experience complete air exchange in a matter of a few
seconds. The positive air pressure also allows for passthroughs to exist between the clean room and other
non-clean rooms. Normally, only one side of the passthrough window is opened at any one time. However,
when the pass-through is completely opened between
the two rooms, air flows out of the clean room, keeping
contamination from entering.
Throughout the years, clean rooms have been
the backbone of much advancement in technology.
For example, it would be nearly impossible for the
semiconductor industry to be as successful as it is
without the use of the clean room. Computer memory
manufacturers continue to want faster part types
which means microchips'must continue to get smaller.
As microchip components shrink small particles
become more of a concern. It is the clean room that
makes it all possible.
the fabrication areas. This means that they must wear
special clean room garments including hairnets, nose
and mouth covers, booties, and gloves. Over all this
goes a smock, dubbed a"bunnysuit." Only, the face

As you walked through the CAB last week, you may
have noticed a group of red wooden silhouettes. These
silhouettes were part of a display brought to Evergreen
for Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Mary Craven,
the sexual assault prevention coordinator at TESC
sponsored this event. These silhouettes are in memory
of 31 Washington state women who were murdered by
their spouses or partners in 1995. The Silent Witness
Exhibit was displayed at the State Capitol earlier this
month. Its next stop is Washington D.C.
Students had varying reactions to these
silhouettes. Some appeared to like them. Others did
not. Though many people respected the silhouettes and
were interested in their purpose, others moved them
aside. This was symbolic of the treatment these women
received in life. Pushed aside, ignored, and written off.
In death it is our responsibility to recognize their
struggle, in an ideal world to prevent this from
happening to one more person.
Domestic violence is
in America which afford
Domestic violence does not discriminate among race,
sexual orientation, social economic status, or gender.
'Perpetrators and victims come from every walk of life.
Domestic violence can be defined as "a pattern of
assaultive and controlling behaviors that an adult or
adolescent forces upon another adult, adolescent or
child in their family." Alarming statistics indicate that
between 22 and 35 percent of women visiting hospital
emergency rooms are there due to domestic violence.
The single major cause of injury to American women is
battering; a figure higher than car accidents, rapes, and
muggings combined.
As a result of awareness, advocacy, and education,
domestic violence is recognized as a serious social
problem. On average it takes a victim of domestic
violence five to seven attempts before permanently
leaving the situation. The worst case scenario of the
maintaining a relationship with this dynamic is death.
Between the years 1976 to 1985, 10,529 women were
killed by their spouses. In the same years 7,888 men
were killed by their spouses. Often it is only after
horrific events and alarming statistics that people
involve themselves in social change. What level of
violence will you allow to take place in America? It is
ultimately up to you, as inhabitants of this country to
declare that this behavior is not acceptable. These days
organizations like Safeplace, Olympia's rape relieve and
domestic violence shelter are in operation to attain
solutions. As a person living in this country, in the world
it is your responsibility to recognize and help advocate
social change. Domestic Violence Awareness Month,
and the Silent Witness Exhibit are small steps toward
an end of a problem of enormous proportions. Ask
yourself what is engraved into the very structure of
contemporary society that allows crimes such as
domestic violence to take place. That is the first step to
social change.

Brain rot corrections
Thanks to Elizabeth Thomas for her informative
article, "Brain Rot," in the Oct. 9 issue of the CPJ. There
were a couple of minor errors in her article that that I
would like to take a moment to correct.
The Fore people live in Papal New Guinea, not in
Australia. The probable means of transmission of kuru
in that population was not the ingestion of animal brains,
but rather, of human brains.
Some anthropologists (Lyle Steadman of Arizona
State University, for example) argue that there is no evidence
of the practice of ritual cannibalism among the Fore. I
personally find the evidence for the practice described in
the fieldwork of SUNY graduate school anthropologist
Shirley Lindenbaum ("Kuru Sorcery" — Mayfield, 1979) to
be meticulous, and overwhelmingly persuasive.
At any rate, Steadman argues that kuru was
transmitted in the Fore population through the handling
of human corpses (which involved ritual
dismemberment). Nobody, to my knowledge, has made
the claim that kuru was transmitted through the handling
of non-human animal remains.
This does not negate the slightest the possibility that
prion-based diseases can spread from animals to humans,
and Thomas is most informative on this point.
One final note—Evergreen students could do worse
than learn everything they can about Dr. Stanley
Prusiner's story. His discovery of prions in 1982 met with
ridicule and rejection from the majority of the scientific
community, since the prions have properties that run
counter to the conventional thinking of the day. His
journey from pariah status to winner of the Nobel Prize
has given me great inspiration and comfort.
Greeners would do well to remember that every
community has its orthodoxy, and none are immune to error.

War on crime
SATIRE
There's a war on crime. Crime has been down,
according to the FBI, for several years straight, so we have
to get tougher on crime. And part of that is arming our
police. We trust our police. They could never do anything
wrong, and they never make mistakes. So we need to give
them the firepower to fight nuclear hacker terrorists!
Beeause there's a war on crime.
Clock 40's aren't enough. I think cops need some
real firepower. Like Uzi's. Who knows what reefer-mad
drug-crazed junkies might do. In fact, for practice we
should set up a shooting range on the soccer field. That
way everyone can develop the sharpshooting skills that
are necessary to dispose of a target at 600 rounds per
second. Because there's a war on crime.
And due to domestic terrorism, I don't think that
police cars are enough either. The police need some armor
for protection. Why not use the real machinery of war?
I'm talking tanks. Why bother kicking down doors when
you can plow right on through? There's a war on crime!
But it shouldn't stop with our police. I think everyone
should carry guns. Maybe we could make it a requirement
for admittance, along with GPA and SAT scores. "Please
indicate the class of weapon you own, and whether you
carry a concealed weapons permit." The men can carry
shotguns or holstered pistols. The women can carry nice
Berettas in their bookbags. We can say, "We're a WESTERN
school. Try carrying a weapon of mass destruction at any
of those East coast Ivy League schools. You're SAFE here
with your weapon!" Because there's a war on crime.
I want to feel the power and euphoria that comes with
knowing that I could blow anyone to kingdom come
whenever I like. It's my right as an American to carry a gun
and it's an affront to the Constitution that I should not be
allowed to have one in my own home on campus. What if
some skater punks were to try to rob me? With a gun, I
could deal them the death penalty. Ha! Sole judge and jury.
That'll teach them to mess with me and try to steal my wallet.
Because there's a war on crime.

by Vaurt Monroe
In 1990, Ruth jandrucko, a 59-year-old white
woman, filed a workers' compensation claim after
being mugged by a young Black male while making
a customer service visit for her employer. During the
attack she sustained a fractured vertebra in her back
and developed what experts diagnosed as a
posttraumatk stress disorder causing both physical
and psychological reactions to Blacks. While Ms.
Jandrucko's fracture eventually healed, her phobia
towards Blacks—specifically "big. Black males" —
did not. Ms. Jandrucko claimed her phobia rendered
her incapable of working with African Americans;
hence, she reasoned, she could not find gainful
employment.
Ms. Jandrucko was awarded total disability
benefits for her phobia. White women have always
been taught to be afraid of Black men but now it
seems they can be paid for it too. This fear of Black
men is part of the fabric that is U.S. history. White
men were so afraid of race mixing that they passed

His six accusers are all white women. This is not the
only time the Army, which is 33 percent AfricanAmerican, has had these kinds of difficulty between
Black men and white women. A recent Aberdeen case
had the same charges with the same racial

Evergreen has not been immune from

by John F. Evans
A&E staff writer
Sitting in the official headquarters of
the 14th Annual Olympia Film Festival
(OFF), I was not awed by rows of operators
wheeling and dealing on the telephone or
blown away by the amount of money,
prestige, and starpower being funneled into
Olympia for nine days. Instead, 1 sat with
three of the festival's key coordinators in a
tiny room roughly the size of a closet as they
worked on one outdated Macintosh
computer and occasionally answered the
single telephone. These were not big shot
mucky-mucks, either; two had graduated
from Evergreen in the last three years and the
third was a full-time staff person at the
college.
I was not overwhelmed by the grandeur
of my surroundings.
The Olympia Film Festival is as
independent as it gets. The ultimate
renegade festival, it is 90 percent volunteer
run with a shoestring budget and a "get
things done by the skin of your teeth" spirit.
In the time that I worked with the festival
organizers (I helped edit the festival
program) I found them to be enthusiastic
and resourceful, but seldom terribly efficient.
What makes it work is their palpable love of
film and the pleasure they take in getting
great movies and interesting people to come
to Olympia for your enjoyment.
The festival is co-directed by Holly
House and Samuel Pixley. An Evergreen grad
with a degree in film, Holly couldn't turn
down the opportunity to do something in the
medium she loves. Being co-director of a big
city film festival might mean lofty
supervision of others' toils, but here Holly
does just as much of the scut work as anyone
else (she's just responsible for more of it). She
does get to carry a cellular phone on loan
from AT&T, the festival's sole corporate
sponsor, though she seems embarrassed by
it.
"We're trying to get up to speed with
the technology," she explained, hastening to
add that the festival will never be called the
Bigfoot Outdoor Olympia Film Festival or
any other corporate name. Indeed, it is the
small local businesses that support the
festival with donations and services,
receiving little more in return than an ad in
the program and a place in the nightly slide
show projected on the wall across the street
from the Capitol Theater.
Another concession to progress is the
theater's new Dolby stereo sound system,
paid for primarily by benefit screenings and
an auction. It's not THX Digital Sound or

The 14th incarnation of the Olympia Film Festival
is loaded with attractions, but here are a few of the
particularly special offerings you won't want to miss.
Opening night, tomorrow, is a basically a huge
Salsa street party, with the Everchanging Festival of
the Now (an Olympia circus troupe), free Mambo
lessons and the live Afro-Cuban sounds of Los
Calaveras. All that action gets going at 6 p.m. and
then at 8:30 p.m., the first movie of the festival, The
House of Yes, hits the screen. It's supposed to be
great, and the picture's cinematographer, Michael
Spiller, will be on hand to field questions.
Saturday at 7:30 p.m. is Oly Only! a program of
shorts produced entirely in Olympia. Greeners past
and present are among the talented filmmakers whose
work is displayed in this showcase of home-grown
cinema.
My favorite movie event of the entire year starts
at midnight, Saturday: ALL FREAKIN' NIGHT!
Nothing but weird horror movies until way past dawn!
It's always a crazy, party type atmosphere, but the real
fun is enjoying some obscure, intense freak-shows
until you pass out. Last year I made it to the 8:30am
mark before lurching home on a clear, crisp Sunday

Using a combination of documentary footage, TV news broadcasts and fictional narrative, Welcome to
Sarajevo recreates the siege of Sarajevo in the finale of this year's festival. Welcome to Sarajevo will be
shown on Oct. 27 at 9:30 p.m. at the Capitol Theater.

anything, but the movies will sound better.
The festivities may not be called the
Evergreen Film Festival, but it almost could
be; there is a strong connection to our school
in the volunteers, programming, and
philosophy.
"We draw a lot from the creativity at
Evergreen," Holly told me, describing the
festival events that would feature the work
of Evergreen students past and present:
Oly Only and Cine-X-Perimental. Many of
the people volunteering their time and
energies did time at the Green.
Another key figure in making the
festival happen is the "programmer." A
programmer (and there are many) is
someone who screens films, listens to
the buzz and then brings the best
offerings to the table. Usually this
involves contacting distributors,
studios and filmmakers; essentially,
whoever has the power to say "Yes, I'd
morning to crash into bed until about three in the
afternoon.
Sunday night at 7:30 p.m., Heather Johnston and
Gordon Eriksen host a screening of Lena's Dreams,
their searing new film about a woman trying to cut it
as a professional actress. Stay for Incredibly Strange
Wrestling, live. Apparently, Mexican wrestlers
complete with masks are going to go toe to toe in an
actual ring.
Tuesday, Oct. 21 at 5:15 p.m. is Cine-XPerimental a showcase of national indie shorts, films
and videos from around the country. After The Best of
the International Student Animation Festival of
Ottawa comes The President's Analyst, a brilliant
comedy from the '60s.
Wednesday, Oct. 22, features a top notch
collection of short films from around the world, an
eclectic and innovative field carefully chosen to meet
your approval. The parade of shorts begin at 9:45 a.m.
and concludes in a Thursday evening block starting at
7:00 p.m.
Thursday, Oct. 23 at 9:30 p.m. is the powerful,
discussion-inciting Follow Me Home, presented by its
writer/director Peter Bratt. At midnight you should go
to the Minty, a jazz speakeasy, which is a step back in
time to the glory days of film noir.
Friday night, Oct. 24, Adrienne Shelly (yes, the
one who made her name in those great Hal Hartley
movies) unveils her OWN film, Sudden Manhattan,
which is sure to be a delight. Come to the theater at
5:15 p.m. and see Adrienne in person!
Later in the night, filmmaker Noam Gonick
presents his film about Guy Maddin, and Guy Maddin
presents his film about Ice Nymphs. Waiting For
Twilight and Twilight of the Ice Nymphs are here,
with their creators, and you won't want to miss it.
Saturday, Oct. 25, at 7:30 p.m. the Brothers Quay
appear live at the Capitol Theater. Come see the
brilliant animators you love and enjoy a bunch of their
films. Later, Guy Maddin reappears with his unique
Tales From the Gimli Hospital.
Sunday evening you get more Quay Brothers and
at 9:30 p.m., the festival's compelling film finale:
Welcome to Sarajevo. Things aren't quite over yet,
however, because a woman who makes plaster casts of
rock star's penises appears live at midnight,
presumably with some of her work in ah, hand. What
a hard way to end the festival.
"It's the people's film festival. It's a great place to
come and see something out of the norm, not your
traditional love story playing at Lacey Cinemas."
. — Holly House, Olympia Film Festival co-director
like our film to show at your festival."
I sat down with short film
programmers Kevin Bunce and Sean
Savage, who told me that the OFF
competes with many other film festivals
in the Northwest during the same
season.
"It works to our detriment when it
comes to getting high-profile features,"
Kevin lamented. "There are several other
independently focused festivals that take
place at the same time."
Programmer Billy Blue prefers not to
deal with the bigger distributors, anyway,
saying that they tend to get jaded from a
constant inundation of calls from festival
people and film societies.
"Before they'll talk to you they ask,
'Who are you? What have you done?'" said
the Cooper Point Journal
Billy. He said the odds of obtaining a film
are better if one gets in touch with the
filmmakers themselves, because they tend
to be less "cocky." The festival can afford
to pay virtually nothing to book a film so
it's necessary for programmers to
negotiate.
"We try and find edgy, interesting
work," Kevin said of the approach he and
Sean use in programming short subjects.
They booked shorts recommended from
the Chicago Underground Film Festival,
France, the UK, Hungary, Lebanon, and
Germany.
How is the OFF most different from
other film festivals?
"The spirit of independent film is
alive here," said Billy. The programmers
look hard for truly experimental works,
• "| 3 •

not faux independent films like The
English Patient, but stuff that is
legitimately off the beaten track.
Holly said, "It's the people's film
festival. It's a great place to come and see
something out of the norm, not your
traditional love story playing at Lacey
Cinemas."
Filmmakers seem to like coming to
this festival; over the years it has hosted
some impressive panel discussions with
accomplished artists in attendance. This
year should be no different, with the Quay
Brothers, Guy Maddin, Adrienne Shelly
and cinematographer Michael Spiller
among the luminaries coming to Oly.
Kevin told me about a short called
Room 103, a Kafkaesque exercise in
paranoia shot in Prague, Czechoslovakia.
When its L.A. based filmmaker received a
query letter from the programmers, he
responded, "I may be able to attend and
screen the film in person—your festival
inspired me to make this film!" An L.A.
filmmaker was inspired by the Olympia
Film Festival to shoot a film in Prague.
That's the festival for you.

Relating the shades of crooked
police officers covering up the
death of a DEA agent
by Dan Scholz
A&E contributing writer
Hmmm, a gangster film featuring Tupac
Shakur in his final role, coupled with a score
composed by the drummer for the Grateful
Dead? — I had to catch this one.
Contrary to its title, however, this movie
has practically nothing to do with gangs.
Instead, it is the story of two crooked detectives
(James Belushi and Tupac) who routinely
whack drug dealers in order to supplement the
meager income they receive from the police
department. Things go sour, though when
they gun down an undercover DEA agent
played by Kool Moe Dee, thus triggering a
downward spiral involving numerous coverups, betrayal and murder.
After several ridiculous attempts to
frame somebody for the agent's death, the
detectives settle for a catatonically drunk
homeless man with so much facial hair that
he makes Jerry Garcia look like Michael J.
Fox. In an inebriated stupor, the poor
schlep confesses to the slaying of the DEA
agent, and Belushi and Shakur think they've
got the whole thing wrapped up.
Such is not the case. In fact, the two
detectives sink lower and lower in their
attempts to cover their sloppy tracks.
Rodriguez (Shakur) is the cop with a
conscience, constantly in a state of guilt over
what he and DiVinci (Belushi) have done and
what they have to do in order to avoid getting
nailed. Belushi, on the other hand, could give
two shits. He is completely without scruples,
always rationalizing the theft and murder that
he and his partner carry out.
I liked the fact that although Belushi
and Shakur were the main characters in the
movie, they were by no means heroes. Their
sleazy shenanigans are even laughable at
times, adding an element of much-needed
humor to the film. Tupac's role makes his
death seem all the more tragic. Although
his performance is by no means stellar, you
get the idea that this was a man on his way
up — that in addition to his accomplishments
in hip-hop, he also had a bright career ahead
of him in Hollywood.
Gang Related also has a fine supporting
cast, includingjarnes Earljones, Dennis Quaid,
David Paymer and Lela Rochon, all of whom
are pretty solid. There are enough plot twists
to make Gang Related a fairly enjoyable film,
and the rhythmic score by Mickey Hart gives
the movie a stylish edge that is absent in most
movies of this genre.
All in all it was a good show, but judging
from the fact there were only about five or six
others in the theater on an overcast Sunday
afternoon, Gang Relatedpmbably won't enjoy
the commercial success it deserves. Then
again, this is Lacey.

A tribute to John Denver
by Dan Scholz
A&E contributing writer
At approximately 5:30 p.m. last Sunday, an
experimental ultralite plane crashed somewhere
in Monterey Bay, killing its sole passenger, John
Deutschendorf Jr. — better known to the world
as John Denver.
For well over 30 years, Denver has been
performing top of the line folk music for
audiences here in the United States and abroad.
After spending his childhood in rural Colorado,
Denver began his career in the 1960s, playing
various clubs in Los Angeles. The first band he
sang for was The Mitchell True Indeed comes
with a 'zine featuring notes, dedications, and mad
ravings. The album can be picked up at local
independant record stores and at their
performances.Trio, whom he was involved with
for two years. It was around this time that he
wrote his first big hit, "Leaving on a Jet Plane,"
which was performed by Peter, Paul and Mary.
Since going solo, Denver released many
albums, both live and studio-recorded. He is best
known for hits such as "Take me Home, Country
Roads," "Rocky Mountain High," "Sunshine on
My Shoulders" and "Thank God I'm a Country
Boy," amongst others. Other accomplishments
include 14 gold albums and eight platinum
albums. In addition to this, Denver is one of the
top five recording artists in the sales history of
the music industry.
Denver helped ease global tensions with his
unique style of folk music. He was invited to tour
the Soviet Union in 1984, several years before the
collapse of Communism in that country. In 1993,
he became the first Western artist to do a tour of
mainland China, where he is immensely popular.
He has also been on the forefront of the
environmental movement, spearheading
organizations like Plant-It 2000 and doing work
with the National Wildlife Federation. Denver
has been most vocal regarding the proposed oil
exploration of the Arctic National Wildlife
Refuge in Alaska, and his work on that issue has
been met with gratitude by those who wish to
preserve the endangered ecosystem.
Denver also pursued a career in acting, with
most film buffs familiar with his starring role in
Oh God! alongside George Burns. He also
stepped in front of the camera for other big screen
and made for TV movies such as Foxfire, Walking
Thunder and most recently Higher Ground
(1993).

Hose, -
Disclaimer: these comics pages are plural — that is
we have two pages of drawings, some funny. That
also means there was double the chance for offensive
material to slip by our leary editorial staff. To
parents we advise the following steps: read the page
thoroughly, then write your congressman and ask that
they outlaw certain types of speech. We suggest the
following Constitutional wording: "bad speech." But
really, please keep this page from children unless you
feel they need to learn about life real young. This
section is' meant for a mature audience; I call your
attention to Hose Head. Oh yeah, this is Josh's fourth
year drawing his comic — way to go Josh! Also,
please note that there are still ways to get more art
on these pages (HINT). Finally, a special thank you to
U. S. President Bill Clinton who funded this week's
section with calls from within the White House.
As always, yor comics editer — David Scheer.
