Two Fridays ago, Emily Schoenholz
needed to do a photo shoot for her
independent contract. She wanted to emulate
photographer Immogen Cunningham's style
of blurring pictures a little to create misty,
dream·like photos.
Emily convinced her friend Heather
Shauvin to be the model for the photo shoot.
Emily wanted Heather to be a wood nymph,
darting back and forth through the forest.
Emily and Heather met in.the afternoon
to walk to the forest. Heather's roommate Erin
Eramia decided to come along to watch the
photo shoot.
The women started down the beach trail
but paused to let Heather change into her
costume in a dark patch of trees just off the trail .
about 100 feet from F-lot.
Erin stood guard to make sure no one was
coming as Heather changed out of her clothes
into the ankle-length, white nightgown Emily
had brought for her to wear. Emily went about
15 feet farther down the trail to check the
lighting in the forest through her viewfinder
in her camera. As she was panning the scenery,
she caught a glimpSe of someont. Emily saw a
man appro~ching through her viewfinder. He
was in his mid-40s, balding witb light brown
hair. Ht won glasses and a bright blue T-shirt
with nothing written on it, said Emily. She
could only see the top half of him in her
vitwfindu ·so she didn't know what kind of
pants he wore-or ifhe won any at aU.
She headed back down the trail to warn
Hea.ther that someone was coming. Emily

Should nudity be allowed?

A naked man enjoys the ' sun at Evergreen's beach, where nudity is a regular
'springtime event -an event that bothers some people in the community. By Reynor Padilla ·
Staff Writer

It's Monday at the Evergreen beach.
Enjoying the day are two groups of fullyclothed women, five dogs, and a lone naked
man.
Legally he shouldn't be naked. But he
can get away with it.
Some people think that's great.
Others refuse to walk to thebeacb alone.
So goes the quiet controversy sparked
every spring: Is nakedness at the beach okay,
despite state and college rules? Or should sunlQYers be sensitive about people who don't like
nudity?

said the naked man, who asked not to be
named. "It's a freedom that you don't usually
get. It's totally natural. There's nothing wrong
with it."
.
"Yeah, it's fine," says Josie Hart, a secondyear student laying in the' sun. "Everybody
should be nilked more often."
Not everyone is so pleased.
"I don't care if thty'fe naked. I just want
them in a concentrated area," said Melisa
Sibley, a first-year student, ·so I don't have to
see them ifl don't want to."
Regardless of how people feel, nudity is
definitely a ·no-no," said director of police
services Steve Huntsberry.
Campus police sometimes patrol the
beach trail, said Huntsberry, but that can take

them away from main campus - and their
cars. That, he said, can I5e bad news if there's
an emergency.
Becaus~ Evergreen just hired some new
officers, police services is "anticipating that
we're going to be more visible," Huntsberry
said.
He reminded people to stay aware of
their surroundings and to travel in groups
when they walk to the beach.
Agroup of people might not discourage
a flasher, he said, but it will likely keep things
from "getting physical.'
If you see a naked person on the trail
and it makes you uncomfortable, call police
services at x6140, sa id Huntsberry.
Evergreen's police will race to the scene and
try to arrest the suspect.
If arrested, the naked person will deal
with campus grievance officer Helena
Meyer-Knapp. She decides whether to and
how to punish people who break school
rules.
If caught, the naked person will be
prosecuted under campus harrassment
rules, she said, if the person is a student.
lfhe or she is not a student, said Meyer·
Knapp, Thurston County will prosecute that
person under state indecent exposure laws.
But people don't seem to mind naked
sunbathers and swimmers, said MeyerKnapp. At least she doesn't get many
complaintsabout them. Instead people
complain about nudity on the trail.
People also complain about
masturbation.
"That's out-of-line" saidJosie Hart, the
sunbather who had no problem with nudity.
To her nude swimming and sunbathing
is cool. but "I don't want to check out any
nude masturbators, for sure."
,
Nudity and masturbation don"t
necessarily go hand-in-hand, Hart said.
"People do out-of-line things all the time
regardless of whether they have their clothes
on or not...anybody that hangs out here can
see that dude is just chillin'."

On June 6at6 p.m. in Library 4300, there
will be the Peoples Music and Dance Festival.

Legislature tries carrot on a stick
By David Scheer
Editor in chief
When the Legislature gave Evergreen its
budget tbis year it also set up a series of hoops.
To get its money. th e schoo l has to jump
through them.
Th e hoops a re called performance
measures. They measure the success of the
. school in terms of things like graduation rates
and student to (aeult\' ratios.
For the tlrst yea~ ever the legis lature has
tied such goa ls to funding. The goals are set
and if the school does not approach them by
10 percent each yea r. it will lose 2 percent of
its non-instructional budget. That's money
that pays fo r things like the computer c«:nter.
student affairs and facilities.
Evergreen's provost, Barbara Smith, is in
charge of how Evergreen deals with the
performance measures. She said Evergreen is
not likely to hit all of the state's targets.
The first few measures look at how fast
hergreen graduates its students. Compared
with other schools. Evergreen is graduating
students quickly. but that may hurt the

alrea dy high , it's harder to find ways to
Improve.
Another measure looks at how well the
college retain s its students. Smith said this
number may vary despite the sc hool's efforts

money problems.

member. No numbers have been set yet, but
Smith said Evergreen already leads the state
in each of those categories.
Still, Evergreen will negotiate with the
state to change that measure to something
else.
That's because to improve faculty
productivity. Evergreen would have to raise its .
student to faculty ratio. The ratio is presently
26.5 students to one professor. Smith said the
legislature wants that number to increase.
Evergreen would rather improve in other
ways.
The last productivit)' measure is yet to
be named. Administrators hope to persuade
the state to have it be a diversity JOeasure_
Overall, Smith said Evergreen will do its
best to meet the state's goals despite the odds.
The college hasn't thrown in the towel.
Luckily, the school will qualify for its
money next year whether or not it improves
because for the first year it only has to develop
its plan .
If the school doesn't get the money next
year that may not be so bad either. Smith said
Evergreen got an 11 percent increase with the
new budget. Losing 2 percent won 't hurt that
badly.

Cor.ner Cafe changing
By Tak Kendrick
. Staff Writer
The Corner Cafe will be remodeling more
than just their structure this summer to
increase customer response while turning a
profit.
Over the past three years, the Corner lost
approximately $25,000, said Chuck McKinney,
assistant residential life director and accounts
manager for the Corner. Despite Housing's
continued support for the Corner, McKinney
and Housing officials could not continue to let
the Corner operate at a loss. 'So McKinney sent
the Corner a letter informing them that they
need to have a plan for how to make a financial
turnaround in '97-'98.
With the school year coming to a close,
the Corner is finalizing its plans. Among the
current plans for the remodel are:
• Ajuice bar.
• A reorganized kitchen.
• More advertising.
• A more to go oriented menu, including
the introdLlction of wraps - tortilla wrapped
sandwicof:s similar to the essential sandwiches'
available in the Branch.
• A standard menu, featuring set recipes

New Greener Grads

the Cooper Point Journal

to be released
By Trevor Pyle
Staff Writer
Most people are happy when they get·
a new CD. When Broolts Martin got a new
CD two weeks ago, he was thrilled.
~I was very excited," he said. "I was
jumping up and down, hooting and
hollering."
It wasn't a CD he bought; it was
KADS Theory, a CD on which Martin had
spent countless hours of work. Hours
working in production studios, hours
talking on the phone. Hours dealing with
artists, agents, and agencies.
KADS Theory is a compilation of
music perfonn«:d live on KAOS this year.
It has 21 songs by twenty-one bands. and
will be widely released on June 10. although
it is already available in the bookstore.
The suggested retail price is Sll.9S.
All profits go to KAOS.
Martin had the idea to put together
a compilation last year, when he was a
junior. He decided to do the project for
credit, along with Chris Scofield, who
works at K Records, a small, independent
music label.
~[The CD] is all I did for a year,
basically: Martin said.
During that year, Martin decided
what songs would appear on the CD;
tracked down and signed a rontract with
every artist he and Chris Scofield selected;
worked (or ho'urs 'in small production
studios, mixing and editing recordings ;
negotiated so the CD could be released on
KRecords Martin's own label, Mayonnaise
Records, and Scofield's label, cottleston
pie; dealt with state application fonns and
agencies, because all the artists had
originally appeared on state-funded KAOS;
selected artwork for the CD's cover; and
called hundreds of .magazines and radio
stations, asking them to review the CD.
. Why do all that work?
"' really rare about KAOS: Martin
says, who has hosted many shows at the
station for four years. "I've always wanted
to put out an.album_ "
After most of Manin's work was
done. then cam.e the waiting; Martiri and
Scofield had sent the CD off to be
manufactured and they had to wait for its
return. Martin laughs, remembering the
wait.
"It was supposed to arrive months
ago," he says, ~and it got delayed and
delayed and delayed_ That's the stuff that
ulcers are made of."
Two weeks ago. a box with the first
copies of KAOS Theory arrived, and
Martin held a year's worth of work for the
first time.
"It was great, opening that box and
smelling that new CD smell," he said.

Trask spea~s on colonialism, sovereignty
By David Scheer
Editor in chief
Haunani-Kay Trask says that sometimes
people complain about the violent tone of her
poetry. To that she has a response: ~Better violent
words than violent action. Better for me to say what
I think than do what I say.·
Trask is a Hawaiian sovereignty activist, poet,
feminist and the director of the Hawaiian Studies
Deptartment at the University of Hawai' i-Manoa.
She was on campus this week speaking,
teaching and reading her poetry. It was part of a
multi-group effort, co-sponsored by Asian
Solidarity in Action, the Pacific Islander
Association, the Native Student Alliance and the
Poetry program.
On Tuesday at noon she spoke in the Library
Lobby to nearly 70 people sitting on folding chairs,
stairs and the red-brick floor.
Trask opened with an aloha to the audience
and a mahalo (thank you) to faculty member Gail
Tremblay who helped bring her here. Then she
introduced herself through her genealogy.

Flasher:

couldn't see Heather and Erin at first because of
the thick undergrowth. Then she saw them. Their
eyes were wide and their mouths were gaping
open. Heather clutched the nightgown to her
chest. Emily knew something was wrong_
Emily looked behind Heather and Erin and
saw the same man she had seen in her viewfinder.
Except this time he was naked.
At first, Emily thought the man was
urinating, but then she decided that that couldn't
be because she couldn't understand why he would
have taken offhis shirt to urinate.
The man stood 10 feet away from the women
and fondled himself. "' could see him holding his
little penis," said Emily. ~Jt didn't look like he was
masturbating. He was just hitting it upwards:"
Once Emily realized what was happening,
she immediately looked down_She said to herself.
"Leave, leave."
The women scrambled to gather their stuff
together to leave. Heather pulled up the
nightgown_ Emily grabbed for her camera
equipment. Then they left .
When they reached F-Iot, the women
stopped to talk about what had happened. Heather
and Erin told Emily that the man had approached
them when Emily was sti1I on the trail. When he
saw Heather changing. he took all his clothes off.
"He was just waiting in the woods to show
his little dinger," said Emily.
They weren't afraid because there were three
of them and it was during the day, said Emily_ But
they were shocked.
"If I'd been alone, I would have been
terrified,· said Emily, "But he didn't seem to want
to hurt us or come any nearer. He just enjoyed
exposing himself_"
The women all deqded that they shouldn't
let him get away with it, said Emily. 'lhere's a
difference between someone frolicking naked in
the woods wi~ the Evergreen free-to-be-you-andme attitude and someone distinctly exposing
himself for a reaction_"

. Trask answered a few more question s
touching on Hawaiian education, life with military
presence and the environment. Eventually she was
cut off and left to help teach poetry at Tremblay 's
Poetry program.
Pat O'Neil, a student in Poetry, was one of
three students who had their work critiqued by
Trask during her visit to the class. She thought it
was great that someone of Trask's stature gave her
work some time.
Shellee Billings, another poetry st udent .
appreciated Trask's casualness during the session .
Trask treated the students as peers and took their
work seriously.
Last night, Tremblay and Trask read poetry
after a potluck in the l..onghouse.
• Tremblay read from her book Indians Singing
in the 20th Century and new poems that she will

Trask spoke on the history and the effects of
imperialism on the islands. She dl!tailed the near
extinction of her people after the arrival of Captain
Cook. She described environmental exploitation
and ecological ruin of Hawaii. She explained the
effects of colonization and tourism on lives of
Hawaiian natives.
She shared some powerful ideas.
Trask said the U.S. military should leave the
Hawaiian islands; that the Federal government
should give its land back to the indigenous natives;
and that tourists should stay on the mainland.
When a student asked how Hawaii's tourist
industry could be replaced, Trask began her response
by explaining how tourism could be removed. For
instance, sovereignty activist could blow up a tourist
hotel. But that's not really agood idea, added Trask;
too many natives wQrk in those hotels.
A few students at the back of the audience
started to laugh then muffied themselve's realizing that perhaps that Trask wasn't kidding.
"Resistance requires that you have a tough
skin," said Trask.

AND HOPI TRIBAL PARAMILITARY POLICE.
Due to the renewed interest in this crucial issue
that brought many dozens of supporters to the
land . the wonders of internet communications
and some media attention, the military menace
never materialized. What did happen was that
Hopi Tribal Chairman, FerraU Secakuku, along

notorious agreement. The scanner we had in
Pauline's hogan allowed us to hear what
families were being targeted . It was frightening
wondering if Pauline would be next. She
ass ured me regularly that the Ce remonies
brought protection.
Though no blanket policy outlawing non
Indian support for re sisters has been
implemented. a number of supporters were
driven off the places ofthe Dineh people being
helped . The BIA po li ce succp.eded in
in timidating about three non Indians who
Jidn't realize such co operation was not
necessary. One Dineh family not only had their
~uppo rt er escorted off the reservation, but the
BIA police barged into their home
unannounced and confiscatl'd a .22 ritle in the
rame r of their horne used to keep coyotes away
from their sheep. This family declined another
supporter fearing further incidents.
I drove nearly seven thousand miles over
the picturesque reservation roadways taking

people for ceremonies, going to meetings,
obtaining supplies. visiting other resisters and
relatives and even spending a night with a
relocated family on the 'New Lands' where the
water source was contaminated by the largest
nuclear spill in US history. Driving from one
end of the Navajo Nation to the other, I was
con tinu ally stunned by the stands of rock
jutting from the desert floor like families of
petrified giants. deep lush canyons and sheer
(Timson cliffs supporting great spans of mesa.
Since I first came to be with Pauline in 1984,
the inroads development has made have
irrevocably scarred much of the spectacular
landscape. The immensity of Peabody coal
company operations is beyond anything I have
encountered. The emissions from coal fired
power plants have smogged the skies. mining
has destroyed gravesites, polluted water has
killed sheep and contaminated air has made
people ill. Maintaining a lifestyle profiting
multinational corporations is at the root of
genocide. It was during this ea rly spring that
the reality of Multi-national greed relying on
American white supremacy to continue five
cent uries of genocide hit me with a clarity that
has wrapped itself around my soul.
When I drove Pauline to Farmington. New
Mexico the harshness of what Dineh and other
Indian people face hit me full tilt. Before I ever
went to Farmington, I read a book by Rodney
Barker tit lI'd: The Broken Circle about the
torture, mutilation a nd murder of three
alcoholic Navajos by three white teenagers who
received extremely light sentences in 1974. This
incident was referred to in an article in the April
18, 1997 issue of The Gallup Independent that
addressed continuing attacks against Navajos
in this border town . While in Farmington,

Pauline and I, my daughter and friend, visited
a Medicine man and his wife. She told us that
she worked with the widows of uranium miners
as well as with people who have been trying to
do something about the racism is Farmington.
She told us there is an area where people who
suffer from alcoholism hang out in the street,
most of them being Indian. A person came out
of a nearby restaurant throwing hot grease on
the alcoholics. Then someone attacked them
with a two by four breaking one victims arm.
She then described how Indians walking along
the highway have been hit by vehicles and left
to die. How many more will be annihilated
before the civil rights movement re-emerges?
Once again, I feel great shame to be part ofsuch
a society that not only has never made amends
to this continent's first people. but continues to
ignore the many facets of continuing genOCide.
According to the Sovereign Dineh Nation
ottice in Flagstaff, Arizona, 4.000 of the 10.000

Teesto and other communities, are now dead.

is happening to the Dineh people is happening

The new sradi um and exhibition
center will be owned by the people,
and built by a strong public/private
partnership that includes subst?ntial
private investment.
Bottom line: for the most part,
those who choose to attend events
at th~ stadium and exhibition
center, those who play the lottery,
. 'aDd visitors to King County will
pay for it. At the same time, the
project will have absolutely no negative impact on Washington State

Remember the
day the Kingdome
roof fell in?

Compared to the Kingdome, the new
stadium and exhib ition cenrer will be
a vast improvement in co fort, convenience, and accessibility for all
members .of our state's diverse communities-and it will bring many
new events to Washington fans.

That disaster left property taxpayers
with a $70 million hangover.

The new indoor exhibition center will
be home to [he boat show, the home
show, the auto show. and many other
events. The open-air stadium will feature natural grass, and 70% of the
spectators will be covered. S[ate-ofthe-art amenities will include:

.. 1,440 seats for the disabled
(including companions) compared to 70 at the Kingdome
... Wider concourses
.. 12 elevators compared ro 3 now
at the Kingdome
... Nearly TWice the restroom facility capacity as the Kingdome
.. 50% more space for exhibitions
than the Kingdome
Among the exciting evenrs the facility is designed to host. .. professional
and amateur soccer... the World Cup
... the Olympics .. . professional and
college football...trade shows .. .community festivals ... and much more.

This adds up to $5 million a year in
property tax debt for which our
taxpayers receive no services.
In fact, the Kingdome has cost taxpayers more in the last 21 /2 years for
repairs than the original construction costs ... and now $42 ,million
more is needed for basic repairs.
In short, the Kingdome is an aging
facility that will continue to need
more repairs, more attention, and
more tax dollars if we don't replace i{.
the good news? The funding
package for the new stadium and '
exhibition center will retire all
Kingdome debt, and free the property taxes for better purposes.
Furthermore, the Seahawks will
lease the new stadium for 20 years.
If the team is sold, the lease will
stay in effect and 10% of the
proceeds of the sale will go directly
to the State of Washington.

Animal lives for human lives?
In response to Ms. Ellis I think that she
missed my point when I was listing the
differences between animals and humans. They
not only look different but function differently.
We all learn that in a basic biology course. Not
only do differences as major as digestive systems
invalidate a study. Scientists are finding out that
some treatments tested on males don't work for
females and some treatments tested on whites
do not work on people of different ethnicity.
Differences like these in the same species can
only show us that testing on other species for
human benefit is just out of the question.
Creating an artificial atmosphere for
animals does invalidate a study. I stand by that.
I appreciate Ellis's opinion on this but at the same
time it seems only obvious that giving an animal
a disease and observing it in an unnatural
environment is not a reliable way to collect data.
Along with the major physical differences, these
tests are just not accurate. Data has shown,
specifically in Scientific American, that the
results from animal testing are so insignificant
that tests are a great waste of money and time.
Norma ll y I wouldn't bring ethics into an
argument like this because I know from personal

experience that you can not teach a person
morals. But Ellis seems to display some concern
for animals in her article. If you care about
animals maybe you should realize that even if
these tests do benefit humans (which I don't
think they do) who is to place the value of human
life over animal life.
A million different lives to save one human
life. Is that fair? It is not our place to take and
torture things for our supposed "benefit." These
scientists are cruel, senseless monsters. Anybody
that would take a life away from another has no
sense or appreciation of life.
Sure, I can agree with Ms. Ellis that we need
to improve the conditions and then move to close
the laboratories down. Everything should go step
by step, but when activists were trying to stop
slavery did they first try to put slaves in better
comfort or work towards their freedom as their
primary goal? We must learn from history and
see that we need to organize and pursue
problems like these instead of finding reasons
to support them.

Chicken feet not
police business
I am writing regarding the chicken feet
incident. I am a concerned student. It is my
opinion that we do not employ our police
officers to remove chicken feet. We simply
employ them to look out for our safety.
Dangling chicken feet are hardly a hazard to my
safety. Chicken feet should be as much a part of
the culture of TESC as police officers are. I
personally prefer the chicken feet statement over
the very strong statement from our police
officers' removal ofthe chicken feet. The uproar
about chicken feet implies that this campus is
willing to allow our freedom of expression to be
controlled by our police officers. In my opinion,
dangling chicken feet are closer to art or a '
political statement than a safety hazard.
Chicken feet could be humorou~ake us
laugh for days. They could make us cry and
scream. I doubt they are going to reach out and
strangle us.
Why are we being denied the visua l
chicken feet choice? Suppose they may become
a safety hazard if they are allowed to sit for weeks
and grow some sort of airborne bacteria.
However, in all seriousness. I simply want to
make a mental note to this community,
ir.cluding our safety officers. that it is not the
role ofour safety officers to remove our art work,
control our culture, or infiltrate the way we
choose to express ourselves unless it is
considered a safety hazard by the majority of the
commun ity. Removal of our work, our ideas,
and our passions fro m this campus should not
be tolerated . I'd prefer to see chicken feet
hanging rather than a boring, statement-less
school, with "safety" officers who control more
than my safety.

Environmental sound off
Dear Editor;
We all want dean air, pure water and
healthy soil. The Clean Air Act was passed over
twenty years ago. Today, there is le~s oxygen to
breathe and more pollution to choke down then
ever before.
.
Nothing adequate is being done to solve
the problems. More things are done daily to add
to the problem. There have been no
environmental victories. Winning small battles
is of little consequence to the Big Picture of
environmental and human degradation,
exploitation and destruction increasing
exponentially.
Despite the efforts of a few, the result is a
planet in worse health then ever before. If we
want a healthy planet and healthy people we can
begin by doing these ten simple things:
1.) Cease the production of new automobiles (the

production of one new car produces more
pollution then using the same car for 20 years).
2.} No new roads (develop alternatives).
3.) No autos in the city limits of any city in the
U.S. (develop alternatives: bikes, horse and
buggy, rail, etc.).

production.
5.) Stop all commercial logging on public and

private land and develop a sustainable forest
plan.
6.} Nationalize the heavily subsidized railroads,
7.) Decentralize waste processing (compost all
organic material).
8.} Localize the production of food and
consumer goods.
9.) Stop nuclear power.
10.) Tax everybody equally: 10 percent for health
care; 10 percent savings and retirement; 10
percent for public good (educ., libraries, etc.);
70 percent take home.
We as human beings make our own
futures. If you say these things can't be done,
you're probably right.

"Campus wide" budget update not meant for students
0 11 May 8, a "campus-wide" budget

upd ate was held by the administration to
discuss the "issues which were recently passed
by the Legislature." This meeting was
organized to discuss issues that were relative
to the lives of every student at Evergreen.
Tuition increases, enro llment increases, and
financial aid, to name few. These are student
issues that we should be informed of and be
allowed to discuss with the administration.
There was a meeting that students were
allowed to come and " provide input," butthat
is where my trouble with the meeting begins.
It was at 12:17p.m. that Isawon eofthe
flyers that was posted on campus, this was the
first time that I had heard of the budget update.
I was pissed , so I started to look for other
postersas I tried to find the Rrcital Hall. I found
only two notices of the meeting. I asked
everyone that I thought might know about
the meeting. but no one knew. Finally someone
pointed me towards the Recital Hall. I was on
my way. Twenty five minutes into the meeting

a

I found the Recital Hall it was in the
Communications BUilding. There were no
signs pointing me to the meeting. I was mad. I
threw open the closed doors and walked in to
the meeting 30 minutes late. I was the only
student at the meeting that was there to
discuss stude nt issues . The meeting was
boring, the administration spoke in numbers
and anagrams like ITS and 10 percent, it was
hard to come in in the middle of the meeting,
but I asked every question I felt that I needed
to, but still I could not ask enough. After the
meeting I asked, and was asked about the
meeting throughout the day. Evidently there
was a ca ll from Jane Jervis to the S & A
coordinators at 5:00 a.m. that day.
The "campus-wide" budget update was
not meant for students to come and participate
in, as its feeble promotion had suggested. The
two posters on campus were not enough to
inform all of the. thirty-five hundred students.
The call from the President to the S&A at 5:00
a.m. on the day of was also not enough. The

recital hall with its closed doors all the way over
in the communications building (where most
students eat their lunch) was also not a good
way to give the meeting high visibility. I know
that this is not an effective way to promote an
event that you want people to come and
participate in. The administration also knows
this. This is what makes me angry.
The fact that the administration .
purposefully promoted this meeting in this
fashion is in one way a demonstration of a
classic power structure trying to keep power
and influence in the hands of the few. That may
be but, there. is another side of this issue. Why
would the administration not want to have
students present and "provide input" on
student issues? I think I know why, because
students have real power on this campus, and
ca n influence campus decisions. Evergreen is
here for us, the students. We can influence the
direction of this campus, but only if we get
involved, otherwise the administration will
make our decisions for us. By underpromoting

meetings and other means ofdenying students
access to the decision process we will slowly
become just another state college. I know that
there will be a rebuttal to this editorial by
someone in the administration who will say
that there was sufficient promotion. That the
recital hall m<lY have been a mistake, or it was
the only option, bilt ultimately it is the
students responsibility to dig up the
information we need. Whatever they say will
still not excuse what happened on the May
8campus-wide budget update meeting. No big
deal, we just can't let this happen again. We
can take this campus where we want to.
There are alternatives. The Diversity
Coalition will address student issues. They
have meetings twice a week Monday at noon
in the Library Lobby, and on Thursday in CAB
320 at 3:00 p.m.

Perhaps this just isn 't about the

this group offoul individuals can no longer get

Well, Evergreen Students for Meat, you are not

From Godzilla to Jurassic Park; monsters make the movies
by Bryan Frankenseuss Theiss
Monster Mash aficionado

E

~erybody loves a good monster. There's
just something irresistible about a guy
with an insect head, an enormous reptile
(radioactive or not), or even an eight foot sloth
that bites people's heads off. Monsters
represent atotal escape from the status quo not
only through physical appearance, but often
through atrocious behavior. They can be
outsiders who are unfairly persecuted, or
sociopaths who joyfully terrorize humanity.
We like to feel sorry for monsters, and relate
to them as a part of ourselves. But We also like
to see them smash things and eat people.
Perhaps Godzilla best personifies the
appeal of the monster, since his career strangely
reflects both sides of the monster-coin. He was a
devastating force ofnature - a metaphor for the
atomic bomb, in fact-when he first appeared in
GodzilJa King ofthe Monsters. But his popularity
with children quickly turned him into an
unstoppable hero who fo ught off deadly
monsters, aliens and robots. Sure, he smashed
buildings like they wereshredded wheat, but not
as often as hepunthed somebody to submission
and then did a silly celebratory dance. Godzilla
has destroyed the city and saved the world. (The
same can be said of Gamera, the giant flying .
turtle super monster whose career has strongly
paralleled the big guy's: menacing threat turns
into super hero and friend to all children,
disappears for years and then returns in a more
serious and sophisticated series of films in the
·90s.)
The series of'90s Godzilla movies still use
a guy in a rubber suit as Godzilla, but it's a
really good rubber suit with an articulated face
and tail that is well-photographed to actually
look like the tail ofa giant monster. (Ignore the
new American version being made by the team
who brought us Independence Day and
Universal Soldier. Judging from their track
record it is unlikely that their Godzilla will be
as entertaining, as sophisticated, as visually
interesting or as believable as the modern
GodzlHa films, even though it will cost several
times as much money.)
The modern Godzilla is a more believable
combination ofth( (vii and likable Godzillas. Ln
GodzilIa lIS. Mechagodzilla, the big guy is only
smashing buildings because he's searching for his
baby, who has been stolen by scientists. But an
international military force creates a state of the
art robotic Godzilla to kill him.

Photo illustra tion by Tak Kendri ck
Whether it is G~dzilla or a T. Rex, big monsters terroriiing a city makes for big thrills and ttie audience loves it.
Generally, of course, monsters don't get
to play both sides. They're either an ~mpatheti c
innocent and victim of circumstance like
Frankenstein's monster or The Fly, or an
unfeeling eating machint' like Alien. If they're
in between , they're generally an eat in g
machine that you can't help but feel sorry for.
The unfeeling eating machines are popular
because, of course, they can be scary. The title
creature in Alien is terrilJing because it is in fact
alien - H.R. Giger's bizarre biomechanical
creations have the feel ·of something the human
mind could mit have possibly created. We can't
understand them, we can't relate to them, we
alrnostdon't want to look at them. The nwnerous
monster dogs and alien predators and other
obvious Giger rip-offs of subsequent films have
been ineffective partly because they have the air
offamiliarity.

So once you run out of original new looks
for monsters, you start going for realism. Stan
Winston (sans 'Giger) took th e Alien
"xenomorph" creature a step further in Aliens by
creating an alien queen that looked not ollly
strange, but alive. When Sigourney Weaver faces
offwith the queen in an intense battle of motherly
instincts, the camera just lingers on that
enormous, insect·like thing with the quivering,
translucent egg-sac. She is terrifying and
magnificent. She looks like a real, living being.
Which brings me to Winston and
Industrial Light and Magic and the dinosaurs
ofjurassic Park. Sure, they're pretty much you r
standard iss ue dinosaurs. Big green lizards
with sharp teeth. But as far as you can tell, these
dinosaurs are real. Most of the time you C;;1I1 't

even tell the difference between Winston's
animatro nic creatures and ILM 's digital ones.
The effects are nearly seamless.
The film , of course. received criticism for
being the movie equivalent ofa theme park ride
(as if thai nea r poetic parallel with the subjecl
matter could have been.uninten tional) . But as
a monster movie, it was a masterpiece. When
the tyrannosaurus trapped the kids in a car,
Cujo became obsolete. This was the absolute
end to I he generation terrified by the crude
stop motion dinosaurs in Land ofthe Lost.
On the monster behavior scale. these
dinosaurs art:' somewhere near gremlins. They
start out almost seeming innocent, and then
something goes wrong and people get eaten. In
The Lost WorldJurassic Park, a Mechagodzillaesque dimension is added to the creatures which
helps them sit on the line between Frankenstein
and Alien. Instead of being zoo animals turned
evil, they're plain old wildlife. Gf course they eat
people sometimes, especiaUy people who mess
with their babies. But they're still animals. and
they deserve to live. Jurassic Park creator John
Hammond wants humans to leave them alone;

one of the heroes, a former member of Green
Peace and Earth Fitst!, frees them from cages to
go on a rampage. And in the wonderful last act
of the film where a tyrannosaurus does pretty
much exactly what you've always wanted to see a
tyrannosaurus do, the heroes are trying to catch
him, nor figure out a magical way to kill him.
But for beautiful animals, they sure do
wreck shit up. By now, the incredible CGI
effects are beginning to get familiar, so it's time
for some big time mayhem . More people get
eaten, there 's even blood spilt. The
tyrannosau ruses aim to please; in one of their
most shining moments, they team-eat a guy in
sort of an homage to Lady and the, Tr~mp.
Windows break, people scream, cars ny
through th e air, people get stepped on. It may
not be Great Art or a great horror sequel (yes,
admit it - precious Steven Spielberg made one
of those dreaded horror sequels), but it sure is
fun. Despite some ineffective scenes, these are
practically the definition of great monsters:
believable, three-dimensional, and hungry. We
don't want them to eat anybody, but we sure
enjoy it when they do.
