Northern Tier Pipeline Company Tries Again
by Dan Gorham
"' Tis known by the name of perseverance in a good cause -and of obstinacy
in a bad one .
Laurence Sterne, 1760
In either respect , the Northern Tier
Pipeline Company needs little introduction. Potential plans for an oil pipeline
from Port Angeles, Washington, to Clearbrook, Minnesota, has sparked controversy
in environmental and political circles for
the past six years . Undaunted, company
officials have emerged once again with
yet another proposal on the drawing
board.
Washington State's Energy Facility Site
Evaluation Council (EFSEC) is currently
working on a "potential site study," at the
request of Northern Tier Co., for an overland route from Port Angeles southward
around Puget Sound. An independent
consulting firm was hired by the state, at
the expense of Northern Tier Co., to
exami ne the potential impacts of an
around the Sound route.

The study team is presently contacting
local governments, state agencies, and
Indian tribes which will be affected by
the overland route. Participants are being
shown tentative maps and background
information. Each group has the opportunity to voice concerns about the proposed
project. Key issues at this point are wetlands, river crossings, fishing rights and
fire hazards. The study is expected to be
completed in early December. Northern
Tier Co. will then attempt to mitigate
these problems and come up with a
formal proposal sometime in January.
The overland route starts with an oil
terminal at Port Angeles . It works its way
down the eastern slope of the Olympic
Peninsula, goes south of Olympia's Black
Lake and heads east towards Buck ley and
Enumclaw. The 200-mile route crosses
17 rivers and 500 parcels of land . Two-
thirds of the proposed line follows existing
power lines or utility right-<>f-ways .
•
Thurston County commissioners expressed concern over the project in a
meeting last week . In a letter to the
Energy Site Evaluation Council,
the
commissioners argued that the proposed
route south of Black Lake would be a
threat to one of the county's largest wetland areas. The area in question is presently designated as a natural shoreline
environment.
.......::"
r
Jim Shamas, president of the pipeline
consortium, told members of the Energy
Facility Site Council that the Port Angeles
si te is essential. "Without that," he sa id ,
"Northern Tier probably wouldn't be
interested in the project. "

The controversy surrounding the Port
Angeles terminal is the last major hurdle
the company must cross . Northern Tier
Co. has obtained all of the other major
permits necessary to begin construction of
the pipeline, which extends 1,500 miles
across five states.

,
With the addition of 15 minor changes,
the current proposal is essentially the
same one as was proposed three years
ago, before the company elected to
attempt a route which went under Puget
Sound.
The underwater proposal was vetoed
last spring by the Council and Governor
John Spellman because of the fire danger
at the Port Angeles terminal. Northern
Tier Co . officials have attempted to
address ' this concern by reducing tanker
size, restructuring port facilities and
requiring safety systems aboard vessels
which will reduce the risk of explosion
at berth.

The Port Angeles site i s attractive
because it is a protected deepwater
harbor which can accept large tankers
and is strategically located to handle
Alaskan, Californian and foreign trade_
Tankers presently use the Port Angeles
harbor as a staging area while waiting for
berths to open at refineries on Whidbey
Island and Cherry Point .
Local opposition to the pipeline remains strong in the Port Angeles area. No
Oil Port, a citizen's action group in the
co mmunity, maintains that there is
nothing significantly new in the latest
proposal. Norma Turner, president 01 No
Oil Port, told the Seattle Post-Intelligencer :
" It's amaz ing the new technology that has
come out since last May Those safety
procedures were available at the time of
the ori gin al proposal and thf' failure of
Northern Tier to incorporate them shows
the lack of credibility of this company."
Originally incorporated in 1976, the
!\Jorthern Tier Company has undergone
,ignific:ant changes in the past year. Getty

lu ne and now controls 65% of the company. The remainder of ownership is

Anger Over EI Salvador Continues in Seattle

Have the U.S.-sponsored elections of
last summer eased the oppress ion in EI
Salvador or brought the tiny nation closer
to peace? Apparently, many of Seattle's
citizens don't believe they have. In
evidence we have this past weekend's
rally, sponsored by the October 16th
Coalition, a group of community organizations with a special concern about
Central America .
"No draft no war, US out of EI Salvadorl"; the chant cou Id be heard as protesters concluded their march from Westlake Mall and assembled in the Seattle
Center Flag Pavilion. Despite the co ld ,
gray afternoon, about 500 people turned
out for Sunday'S gathering.
The demonstration was part of an international day of protest. Martin Gonzales,
regional coordinator of the Seattle Committee in Solidarity with the People of
EI Salvador (CiSPES), gave his comments
on the purpose of the rally in a phone
conversation : "One thing we're hoping for
is to inform people of the regionalization
of the conflict , and of the strong possibil ity of U.S. Marine action in EI Salvador.
Even with the escalated mechanization
(such as supplying EI Salvador with A-37
fighter jets), and the use of thousands of
troops from Honduras this past summer,

Halloween .Brings Dead Lyricist to Seattle
Justice Dolliver Speaks on Toys of the 198fYs
by l oh n Hill
James DoJliver, Washington State
Supreme Court Justi ce, spoke at the first
in a series of lectures entitled " The Evergreen Colloquium" on Friday, October 15,
in Lecture Hall 3. Ju sti ce Dolliver spoke
on the topic "Toys of the 1980's; Judges
and the New Age " The point of his lecture was to illu strate some of the ways
modern technology has affected the
judi cial system in the United States.
In his lifetime, according to Dolliver,
there have been three revolutions in the
third branch of government (the judicial
bran ch) . The first was in the 1930's when
specific legislative enactments became
less of a priority The " Warren Court" of
the 1960's was the second . This court was
concerned with judicial procedure and its
affects on individuals in this country.
The current revolution has nothing to
do with mandates of the constitution or
due process, but rather is one of the technical age in which we find ourselves. To
illustrate his point, Dolliver quoted de
Toquevil le: "Scarcely any political
question arises in the United States that is
not resolved S00ner or later into a
judi cia l que:>tion ."
Dolliver poin ted out that judi cial
question s are an swered in a legal language. Our structure of government,
interpersonal relationships and most of
our act iv ities bottom out in a legal stance.
Courb are turn ng away from this legal
language to the language of technology.
O nt' techno logi cal development with
an impact on jlldi cial process is television .
Te levision, ac cording to Dolliver, has the
~tential to distort the public's perception
While not making it any easier to render
a decision, computers are helping to
evaluate time efficiency among judges
and lawyers, They also provide quicker
access to information .
The overwhelming amount of litigation
being presented to the courts is a problem
that has to be solved. Dolliver has this
advice: " If you are thinking of goi ng to
court, stay out of court. If you can in any
way settle your problems without going to
law, do it."
To help relieve the burden more co~rts
are arranging third party mediators to get
cases settled before going to hearing.
Dolliver said that they are just getting
started on this, Courts have been involved
with adversary justice for so long that
they are finding it difficult to get involved
in mediary justice, "To save ourselves, we
are

The Grateful Dead' s wordsmith, Robert
Hunter, wi ll return to Seattle for his
'
second annual " Halloween Hightime" on
Saturday, October 30, at 8:30 p,m. , at the
Music Hall theater, 7th and Olive in
downtown Seattle.
Hunter has composed the lyrics to suc h
Dead class ics as " Tru ckin :' " Sugar
Magnoli a," and "A labama Getaway " The
Dead premi ered two of his newer pieces,
" Day Job" and " West L.A . Fadeaway," at
their August '82 concert in Seattle
The (PI interviewed a very busy Robert
Hunter thi s past week by telephone , He
was in the midst of writing and arranging
some new songs for hi s East Coast tour
that started this week , The (PI gratefully
thanks Mr. Hunter for taking the time out
of hi s bu sy schedule to talk to us.
(Pl.- I t seems a bit strange that you are
still preparing for your upcoming solo
tour (on the East Coast) at this last
minute.
Hunter : I seem to do my writing a week
before I go on tour. I like to bring new
material on the tour because I know
people like to hear the new stuff.
(PI: How do your songs get to be
" Dead Songs" ?
Hunter: What has been happer.ing
lately is that I've been the farm team for
the Dead . I field test (songs) to see that
they work and then we know that the
songs are accepted on their own .
(PI: I've noticed that there seems to be
. t hieme through you r musi c of
a rec urring
honesty and truth . Why is thi s?
Hunter : I put my thoughts into a sieve
and keep on shakin g the sieve. The enduring things hang in there. When you
write enough songs t hese same elements
keep on showing up.
( PI : Would you say that " Alabama
Getaway" and " West L.A. Fadeaway" are
related'
Hunt er : I didn 't noti ce t hat before, but
continuity can't help bu t happen
(PI' Why is that ?
Hunter .' Because it all com es from my
own head . My direct ion has stayed the
same over the years .
(PI : I've read that Jerry Garcia sometimes has a hard time condensing your
long ballads.
Hunter: No, not really, You must be
thinking about a song ca lled " Idiot's
Delight." It has one hundred verses and
fills a 9O-minute cassette tape . ( laid it on
Garcia as a joke. I don't think he'll do
anything with it.

Sailing Season
Geoduck Fleet
by Erin Kenny
Clark, who has experience on the Sea
Wulff . Tony Wielang is the newest member, having joined the team six weeks
ago. He got interested in the sport while
he worked building and repairing boats.
by Camey Combs
The sailing team has started out the
1982-83 season on a gobd note, placing
fourth in the Kickoff Regatta held at UW
This finish was the best since the team
formed a year ago. Coach Lou Powers
was encouraged by the placing : " I feel
really good about the season so far. We
have a good response for people coming
out this year, especially a lot of experienced people. "
This experience is personified by five of
the six members. Captain Rick Baldwin
has been sailing for two years and joined
the team shortly after it was formed in
October of '81.
Charter members include Erik Noyd
with six years of serious experience; Janet
Welch , about four years of knowledge to
fall back on; Tom Gast, who learned to
-;ail in a Leisure Education class; and Jeff
Powers also has quite a bit of knowledge
to draw from wh!le directing his Geoducks. He's been sailing for 25 years, 16
of that has been competitive. For the past
ten years he's been involved in race management. In his career he has sailed in
three National Championships. Powers
was the Northwest Champion for two
years and he placed second in the Northwest in '82.
If you're interested in watching a
regatta, the Evergreen Invitational Regatta
is taking place on the 6th and 7th of
November. For those interested but not
too knowledgeable about the event, here's
a brief description :
Each team is made up of an A and B
fleet of two people apiece. One person
serves as a crew (jib-person, fore-person),
and the other acts as skipper (helmperson) . Each fleet alternates races, so
that A fleets race and then B fleets compete. This allows one team to rest while
the other races . Boat rotation is done to
ensure that a team doesn't win because of
a "fast boat." This brings up an interesting
point. Instead of each intercollegiate
team transporting their craft to the sight
of the regatta, the host team provides the
boats.
Scores are based on what place a fleet
achieves in each race. A boat coming in
first receives one point, second place two
points, and so forth . The point totals from
A and B teams are added, and the-school
with the lowest combined score wins the
regatta.
The TESC sailing team belongs to the
North West Intercollegiate Yacht Racing
Association (NWICYRA). Since it is an
intercollegiate team, all members must be
full-time, undergraduate students at TESC.
It's also encouraged that they have basic
sailing skills, a competitive desire to race
sailboats, and the ability to swim 50 yards
and tread water for 5 minutes.
Students interested in joining, but without experience in sailing, can take lessons
from Tom Gast through the Leisure Education Department. You will also need certification for the swimming requirement.
Lou Powers has forms that can be completed anytime by lifeguards at the
CRC pool.
Practice races take place once a week
from 10 a.m. to about 4 p.m . on Saturdays, starting on October 30. Until then,
races will be held at the same time on
Wednesdays. Meetings are held on Wednesday nights, 6-7 p.m. in LIB 2200.
Rick Baldwin remarked that participants " learn a lot about people, and
stress." He added : "The rules are enforced
by competitors, not by referees ."
The sailing team has a fleet of seven,
fourteen-foot Alpha-One, two person
sloops; an eighteen-foot committee boat;
and a twelve foot chase boat. These are
all located at Fiddlehead Marina. This is
just north of Percival Landing on Columbia St., and directly behind and to the
right of the Yard Bird Shopping Center in
downtown Olympia.

Does DDT In Your Coffee Make You Nervousl
It is highly probable that your morning
cup of coffee is laced with DDT. The
Federal Drug Administration (FDA) reports
that nearly one-half of the green coffee
beans imported into the U.s. contain
various levels - from traces to illegal
residues-of pesticides that have been
banned in the U.S.
For many years American corporations
have been manufacturing and exporting
pesticides which are banned, heavily
restricted, or unregistered in the U.S.
However, this profitable scheme may be
backfiring. In fact, 10% of our imported
food is now officially rated as
contaminated.
The real percentage is probably higher
since FDA testing is not very thorough.
Small samples are removed for analysis
while the rest of the shipment continues
on to market. The rationale is that perish. able food would spoil if held until tests
were performed .
There are many mysterious chemicals
that routinely appear on food samples
which are thought to be unregistered
exported pesticides. Companies are not
required to reveal the chemical make-up
of any unregistered pesticides.
Americans regularly consume pesticides
which are considered too dangerous for
unrestricted use here but which are legally
exported to underdeveloped countries. For
example, in_the Philippines, Castle &
Cooke (of Dole brand fame) imports U.S.
banned DBCP for use in producing
blemish-free bananas and pineapples
destined for a discriminating American
market. The Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) has found that DBCP causes
cancer and makes humans sterile.
The six Central ·American countries are
the world's heaviest per capita users of
pesticides and 70% of the total value of
their agricultural products is exported. In
tiny EI Salvador, cotton production
absorbs one-fifth of all the parathion (a
chemical 60 times more toxic than DDT)
used in the world. In fact, pesticide levels
are so high now that all beef imports from
EI Salvador, Mexico and Guatemala have
been halted by the u.S. Department of
Agriculture (USDA).
In Guatemala the average DDT levels in
cow's milk are 90 times as high as allowed
in the U.S. People carry 31 times more
DDT in their blood than Americans and
DDT levels in women's milk are the highest
in the world .
There are very few restrictions placed
on pesticide use in underdeveloped
nations and there are no government
regulatory agencies. Many workers are
sprayed by planes and handle the white
powder as if it were harmless. There are
no warning labels on most of the pesticide
containers. Besides, most of these workers
can't read and unions are, for the most
part, illegal. Workers' food crops and their
water are contaminated by spray drift. In
fact, parathion accou.nts for 80% of
Central America's poisonings.
The use of pesticides in underdeveloped
countries is a daily threat to millions there
and a growing threat to all consumers
here. Over one-half of the pesticides used
in underdeveloped countries are applied
to crops destined for consumers in
Europe, Japan and the U .s. These are
mostly cas h crops such .as _coffee c>nd
cotton but include many fruits and
vegetables as well. Recently, of the
samples"tested, over 15% of the beans
and 13% of the peppers imported from
Mexico violated FDA residue standards.
The massive export and widespread
application of pestiCides in underdeveloped countries is not a problem that
ca n be ignored. Since we import much of
our food from these countries, it is
certainly not enough to ban these harmful
chemica ls in ou r own country By way of
vicious ci rcle we are consuming th.-se
pesticides on a regular basis Think about

Land owners and environmentalists face
another challenge as the statewide outdoor recreational vehicle (ORV) controversy develops a new twist. Draft legislation 'has n-ow been submitted to the House
Transportation Committee by Rep. Lewis
(R-Yakima) to amend RCW 46.09. If
passed, three and four wheel ORVs would
be exempt from the noise law and left to
the discretion of local officials.
An Attorney General's opinion in Nov.,
1980, stated that any ORV using a statefunded ORV park was subject to the provisions of RCW 46.09.120, which provides
for noise controls and environmental
protection. Existing ORV parks have not
enforced the law in the past, and now
they are becoming political liabilities to
cou nty officials , ORV parks in Yakima,
Tri-Cities and Thurston-Crays Harbor have
experienced political pressure from citizens to stay within the limit of the law.
With the help lbf the Sierra Club and
other organizations, neighbors of the
Thurston-Grays Harbor ORV Sports Park
have managed to prevent the state-funded
professional racing center from acquiring
100 additional acres and expanding
events. In the course of the political fight,
it was apparent that county officials were
reluctant to enforce any of the existing
environmental laws or live up to past

There are two things we would like to
request. Firstly, If you are near the office
(Library 3210) in your normal course of
activity, please keep an eye out. If you
see someone defaCing our property, get a
good description of the person fi xed in
your mind. Memorize such physical
characteristi cs as height, build, eye and
hair color, clothing, glasses, facial hair or
lack of it, age, scars, birthmarks, or tatoos,
and any other outstanding characteri stics.
Call Security (866-6140) .
Secondly, we would like people to take
a clear stand against the harrassment. The
Lesbian and Gay Resource Center is the
only organization of its kind in southwest
Washington . We provide peer cou nseling,
information, referrals, and other support
services for lesbian women and Gay men,
and we offer educational talks to loca l
high schools, colleges, and Evergreen
programs . Because we are a much-needed
resource and service organi zation , we
must be highly visible to the pubhc.
Because we are highly visible, we are
subject to harrassment
Concerning these incidents, Rebecca
Wright, ca mpus Affirmative Action
Officer, think s it is appropriate to rem ind
people that the COG IV document prohibits discrimination with regard to sexual
orientation or politi ca l belief, and slates
"The individual members of the Everween commu nity are res ponsible for protpct in!o: each other and visitors on ca mpus
trom physica l harm, from personal threats ,
dnd from uncivil abuse. Civility is not just
a word; it must be present in all our
interactions ."
Rebecca Wright also discussed th e
Quaker concept of SOC ial witnessing : " If a
family had a cross burned on their lawn,
the people of the community shou ld
gather together and hang out at that
house for a while. We must stand together
in solidarity and show that this kind of
behavior will not be tolerated ."
We encourage you to act in this spirit
by working with your friends , faculty ,
studen ts, parents, chi ldren, and co-workers
to recognize and put an end to homophobia and to respect The Lesbian and
Gay Resource Center.

This law is one of the few legal protections that ORV neighbors have, and the
fact that ORV interests are attempting to
change it testifies to its effectiveness, It is

In the past few weeks, The Lesbian and
Gay Resource Center has been subjected
to a series of homophobic attacks. Graffiti
expressi ng hatred , wrath, and threats of
violence have been scraw led on our
message pad and informational material
hanging outside the Center. This is by no
means a new phenomenon, but the
frequency and viciousness of these notes
is now more extreme than ever before.

promises of noise and commercial regulation . It was only when the gross mismanagement and misinformation spread by
the Thurston County Parks Dept. became
spotlighted in the local press that the
Interagency for Outdoor Recrf'ation (lAC),
who oversees the state grants, decided it
would be in their best interest to enforce
RCW 46.09.
But this law may be amended. If this is
passed, 850 horsepower nitro-fueled ORVs
w ithout benefit of any muffling device
will once again be free to destroy the
livability of neighboring areas. If Thurston
County serves as an example, local
officials can be expected to give priority
to non-locaJ professional racing interests
rather than county residents .

A lot of us have " had it up to here"
with people haraSSing us about our health.
Many are sick and tired of being told
what we shou ld or shou ldn't eat, drink, or
smoke. No one likes to be told what to
do, but in the wake of something as
terrifying as the recent Tylenol tragedy,
it seems appropriate to take a look at our
culture's escapism when it comes to
health care. So at the risk of sounding like
another harper out to change the habits
of a lifetime, here goes .
It seems like some synthetic solution
has been devised for all of life's little
difficulties (and that is just taking into
consideration the legal ones), Everytime
we turn on the TV someone comes on
with some kind of substance that will:
<eep us awake or put us to sleep, reduce
our appetite or our pain, relieve our
cramps or feminine itching; everything
from headaches to hemorrhoids . Hey, it
works for all of those smiling people on
the screen, why not you and me as well?
We are all victims of this consumer trap.
We get so caught up in daily life that
the last thing on our minds is our body's
maintenance, It takes a while for the
misuse to catch up with us, but eventually
it does and then we can reach for instant
help. We turn to something or someone
for a way to suppress our symptoms
instead of investigating the possible
behavior connected with the illness;
relying on an outside source to cure the
:lamage we have inflicted on ourselves.
3y diverting the responsibility of health,
we play right into the snare of those seiling "temporary relief." That's all it is,
temporary relief.
Caring for one's self often falls near the
end of the list of priorities, as a comment
on SOCiety maybe this makes us unselfish.
Granted, being selfish carries negative
connotations, but as the saying goes, you
can't help anyone until you help yourself.
The logic lies in listening to that little
'inner voice and heeding its warnings. A
small booklet, put out by the Department
of Social and Health Services, entitled
Healthy Choices, discusses Wholistic
Health. This method of care focuses on
the entire body, including the spiritual
and emotional aspects. It defines doctors
as "primary health advisors whose goal is
to keep us healthy rather than respond
only when illness strikes."
Paying a little attention to yourself
and your body (you know, that strange
conglomeration attached to your head)
will benefit you greatly, if not in the
immediate future, most certainly in the
long run . Besides, it's economical (think
about all the candy you can buy with the
money you save by resisting those overthe-counter helpers).

Velo Notes: Don't Get Bumed Buying a Bike
parts tend to break .
by Todd Utman
. When buying a new bi cycle , focus in
on the features that you need and can
afford . Good ten-speeds start at about
$200. At $275 you will find major improvem ents such as alloy wheels and
other compon ents, better frames and
lighter weight. At $350 you start to see
top qual ity components, and if you have
to read' thi s articl e you probabl y don 't
need a bike cost in g' over $450 .
Choosing a new bi cycle is not an easy
deci sion This week I would like to offer
my suggestions about how to make a
cho ice
I f you have less than $ 200, or so, you
will probably do best by buy ing a used
bicycle. Muc h of what I will be writing
about wil l apply to used bi cyc les as wel l,
but vour opt io ns will be m o re limited
Vou will be stuck with diffi cult questions

J. Huston and Truman Capote. Gjlst: Humphrey

According to Robert Morley, John Huston and
Truman Capote wrote this as they went along.
The result is 'an abs urdly hitarlous, black comedy
about a bunch of inept uranium smullillers in
British East Africa. "F unniest screwball comedy
of all lime"- Pauline Kael.
If you want t he best bicycle for the

expensive ten- or twe lve-speed bi cyc le

are important because this is w here lighter
weight counts most, and because aluminum makes a better brak ing surface

The 1982-82 Evergreen expressions series
opens for two performances October 22 and 23
with "Zaloominations," a highly acclaimed oneman show starring Paul Zaloom. Noted for his
sharp social messages and comic wit, Zaloom
will be followed on November 2 by the Modern
Times Theatre, which will stage 'Hibakusha : A
love Story from Hiroshima." The premiere Olympia performance offers a saga of love and courage
enacted by a wide vivid cast of characters who
perform in the tradition of the San Francisco
Mime Troupe and present a startling , intimate
vision of humanity's collective future.
place.
I n the past few yea rs most lightweight
bi cyc les have been made to look like
rac ing machines with narrow seats, drop
handlebars, skinny wheels and very lightweight components. While many of these
features are fine for most uses, I think
they have been taken too far in some situations and you should consider whether
you want them . Most people are better
off with a " touring" bike which sacrifices
some lightness for comfort and durability,
and which gives wide range gearing. Then
aga in , you might wa nt a "commuting"
type w hi ch ca n be lightweight but has
upright handl ebars
There is one class of bi cyc le th at I steer
anybody away from, t he " d epartment
st ore 1Chpeed spec ials'" These bi kes have
such poor qual ity components that they
can never be we ll tuned and important
Generally speaking, Shimano components are the most innovative and gimmicky; Sontour equipment is well tried
and solid, usually the best deal for your
money; and European components su ch
as Simplex are conservative, but they are
beginning to catch up with the japanese.
One important point: when you buy a
bi cycle expect to spend a quarter to half
o f the price again on accessories . Get
good quality merchandise, as it wi ll really
make a noti ceable d ifference . A lock,
light, rack , som e basic tool s and, I think ,
a helmet are essential. A good seat and
fenders are almost essential. Panni ers,
w aterbottle, a mirror and more tools are
useful.
Know what you want , and spend some
effort gelling it, and you wi ll have a bike

A couple of years ago Peter O'Toole
played a colorful, eccentric director in the
film "The Stunt Man." This year he plays
a colorfu l, eccentri c actor in the film "My
Favorite Year." The different roles are two
sides of the same coin, or, more accurately , two sides of the same kind of charcharacter.
Eli, the director in " The Stunt Man"
was primarily a dramati c character, but he
did have his humorous side. Alan Swan,
the character in " My Favorite Year" is
primarily comic, though not without his
dramati c side . Both characters are sli ghtly
crazy and carry an air of unpredictabi lity
about them. You can never be sure what
either will do next.
It's not really fair to compare the two
films beyond thi s point. " My Favorite
Year" is a much lighter film than " The
Stunt Man," it doesn't have the latter's
intri cate plot or philosophical insights. Yet
it does succeed at what it is, a light
comedy with a dash of romance. Suffice
it to say that if you liked O'Toole's performance in " The Stunt Man" you will
undoubtedly like " My Favorite Year ."
" My Favorite Year" concerns the frantic ,
ulcer-ridden era of live television comedy.
Mark linn-Baker portrays Benjy Stone, a
young writer for a show ca lled " The
Comedy Cava lcade," whose matinee idol ,
A lan Swan (O'Toole ), is coming to host

notes. Although Belew's style is bas ically
one of making up new noises on the
guitar, when these noises are combined
with the accompanying music, the two
are not incongruou s.
" Big Electric Cat" and "The Lone
Rhinoceros," from Lon e Rhino, are two
songs where Be lew uses his skill and
imagination as a guitarist to imitate the
sounds that those animals make. Animal
sounds are only one of the many effects
Belew's guitars make. Musician describes
Lone Rhino as : " an abridged version of
' 1,001 Sounds You Never Knew Guitars
Cou ld Make,'" The sounds that Belew
coaxes out of his guitar on Lone Rhino
are so numerous that one wonders how

the show. Swan comes off to the writers
and producers as an unreliable drunkard
and Stone is given the job of keeping him
sober and out of trouble until after the
show.
The task proves difficult as Alan Swan
is a man who does what he pleases.
Women turn to mush looking into hi s
languid , blue eyes and men admire him
for his devil-may-care eccentricities. In
real life he seem s to be the same suave,
articulate Casanova he portrays in films.
He breezes through I;fe leaving a wake of
controversy and mayhem behind him.
You ng Benjy Stone is taken in by the
charming actor and as they discover their
commonalities a friendship develops between them . A friendship that is not without its momentary, and often hil ariou s,
crise,. At one point as they're driving
home from the final rehearsal , Swan
breaks out a bottle, much to hi s young
chaperone's dismay. "We've got a show
tomorrow l ," Benjy pleads, but Swan takes
the warning in his always casual stride.
"You can either watch me drink or join
me. One of them is more fun ," he says,
handing Benjy a glass.
On the whole, " My Favorite Year" is a
nostalgic and whimsical look back at the
early years of live television . The photography is we ll done and with the accuracy

Music Review
Who would you say is the greatest
guitarist in the world today? jimmy Page?
Old hat. Eddie Van Halen 7 Hardly , jerry
Garcia? Many would agree. Duane Allman/ No, he's dead . I would say Adrian
Belew. Guitar Player is one of the many
magazines that have praised Belew and
his solo album, Lone Rhino . They describe
Belew as: " A veritable superman of the
electric guitar. Lone Rhino will surely
expand even further not only the reputation of the guitarist but the possibilities of
t he instrument itsel!."
Within the last five years, Adrian Belew
has established himself as one of rock' s
most respected guitarists and one of its
top sess ionmen. Belew was discovered by
Frank Zappa in the late 70's pl aying the
lounge circuit in Nashvill e. After playing
in Zappa's band, Belew was hired by
David Bowi e for his band . During this
time Belew toured and played on The
Olympia's newest jazz group, NEOBOP, will be
performing standard and ori ginal jazz music at
the Rainbow Restaurant , 200 W. 4th Avenue, in
downtown Olympia. The concert will take place
on Sunday, Oct. 24, at 9 p.m. There will be a
$3 cover charge.
(or parts of the group). He has appeared
on the Heads' Remain in Light and their
live album, as well as on the three solo
albums by members of the group.
Besides Belews new album, Lone
Rhino there are three recent albums that
he ap~ars on . Two of these records are
with King Crimson, of which he is a
m ember. These albums are entitled
Discipline and Beat . The other recent
rel ease that features Belew is j oe Cocker's
newest album.
All these people seek out Belews help
on their records because, as Musician
says, " He's quite possibly the greatest
soni c innovator on guitar since jimi
Hendrix . .. " Not surprisingly, Hendrix was
the main person that Belew looked up to
as a young guitarist. Belew had begun hi s
musi cal career as a drummer, but one
year when he had a lot of time on his
hands, he borrowed a guitar and tried to
play just like Hendri x. Belews style is
dependent on several elements also common to Hendrix, such as flangers, guitar
synthes izers, feedback, and bending

he wi ll continue to be a major innovative
force in today' s music.
Besides guitar, Belew plays drums and
sings on the album. Hi s drumming is f ine,
but not impressive. His singing, however,
has improved over past performances on
King Crimson 's Discipline and Beat . The
only part of Lone Rhino that could have
been better are the lyri cs. Belews sense
of humor is quite evident, and at times
goes beyond funny to ridi culous. Yet even
this minor fault in the album is not
.
enough to take away from the whole, as
Belews sonic attack on guitar simply
overpowers all possible weaknesses .
Hopefully, he can continue to be an
imaginative guitarist and toda y's premier
guitar innovator.
