. It was a typical rainy Friday at the Capitol. Outside,
people began to arrive for a pro-life rally on the Capitol
Building's steps. Schoolbuses carrying men, women, and
children arrived, and with them, so did the signs. They
ranged from the mass-produced "Abortiof! is Murder" to
the homemade posterboard "Wake Up America! Clinton
Sided with China and Hitler!" .
The signs refer to President Clinton's veto ofa partialbirth abortion bill in April 1996. Though the House had
enough votes to override the veto, the Senate was short of
the two-thirds needed for the override.
In Washington State, a bill entitled the "Late-Term
and Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act of 1997: was
introduced this session. Under HB1031, it would be illegal
for a physician to perform a medical procedure known as
Intact Dilation and Extraction, D&X unless the life of the
woman was in danger.
D&X is a procedure Tammy Watts knows a lot about
. not because she is a lobbyist or a doctor. Thmmy Watts,
who prayed with President Clinton 0.0 the day he decided
to veto the federal D&X ban , understands be-cause she has
lived through the procedure.
Some people have called Tammy Watts a monster.
U.S. Congressmen have called her such names openly on
the floor of the nation's Capitol. But Watts continues to
tell her story, a story of her daughter Mackenzie, a daughter
she loved and wanted dea rly.
She tells of a pregnancy, that despite some severe
morning sickness arid early contractions, seemed normal.
But in her seventh month of pregnancy, a routin e
ultrasound detected someting wrong. After further tests,
Watts was told the devastating news; that her daughter had
trisomy-l3 , a syndrome where there is an extra
chromosome on the 13th gene. Her daughter had no eyes,
six fingers, six toeS, and failing kidneys. Her bladder and
bowels were were located in a mass outside of her body,
and the terrible sydrome affected her heart and other major
organs as well. Her daughter, the doctors told Watts, was
dying.
"I would have traded my life for Mackenzie's, but this
is the way God intended," says Watts. Tammy and her
husband Mitch made the decision to have a D&X
procedure, an option that is often the safest for women like
Tammy Watts, one that would allow her to hold Mackenzie
and say goodbye, to make a card of her foot and handprints,
and gave Watts what might be her best chances for having
a future pregnancy.
D&X procedures have come to be known to the public
as partial-birth abortions, the term used for the procedure
in legislation like HB 1031. In the procedure, the legs of the
fetus are pulled outside of the woman's body and the the
cranium is collapsed to allow vaginal delivery. Due to
extensive fetal abnormalities or the current health of the
mother, this procedure may be the safest option for .the
woman. In a 1996 case, an Ohio court found that other
procedures are more likely to cause damage to the woman's
cervix or uterus, endangering her chances for a future
pregnancy.
On Friday.Jan. 17, the day of the pro-life rally, Tammy
Watts tells the story of her experience to th~ Washington
State House Law and Justice Committee. After telling her

A Native American canoe, tentatively planned for exhibit at Longhouse now sits in the basement of the Library.
By L EIGH C Ul lEN AND D AVE SCHEER
A Native American canoe, found in the mid 1960s
by a boy living on Black Lake now resides half-rotted on
the basement floor of the Library Building. The staff and
students who brought the canoe here to halt its decay,
hoping to restore it, are no longer involved with the
project.
. The canoe lies wrapped in a blue tarp on the concrete
floor of the basement near a locked chain-link cage that
protects old appliances and boxes offiles . The bottom of
the canoe is rotten. The sides and front are held together
with pieces of cream-colored string and ru sted metal
strips. Remnants of white paint are still visible on the
outside of the canoe . Bits of loose wood and nails lie
inside.
Doug Shanafelt, the boy who fo und the canoe 32
years ago , now works in The Evergreen Stat~ College
_ mailroom. When he discovered it, the canoe was still
intact. Over the past three decades he has witlfessed its
decay.
wIt's been an ongoing saga and a tragedy for the
canoe ," said Doug.
He first saw the cedar canoe floating in Black Lake
when he was 10 years old. He hopped in a row boat and
brought the canoe to the shore of his parents' house. He
used to play in it when th e weather was warm enough .
"It was heavy, so it would really get going. It was lots of
fun ," said Doug.
Back th en, the ca rved-out hull wa s solid except for
the top front which was missing, said Doug. The canoe
had a few cracks, so when he and his friend s would float
it around, three inches of water would fill the bottom .
A year later, Doug found the front of the canoe in a
swamp on the edge of Black Lake. When he se t the piece
on the canoe, it fit perfectly. Doug planned to fit wooden
pegs in the canoe to. hold the piece permanently.
When Black Lake's water level rose , the cano e
floated away with the current. A boy lhat Doug went to
school with found the canoe and kept it. Doug and th e
boy weren't friends, so when Doug asked for the cano e
back the boy told him , "I found it - it's min e now."
The boy painted the canoe white and fa stened metal
strips to the canoe to hold the front piece in place, said
Doug.
The canoe stayed with the boy for a year before th e
water level rose again and the canoe float ed to the middle
of the lake . Doug saw the canoe floatin g around and
rowed out to bring it home again . This time he tied th e

Oll,lun . 15, 1995 th e legislature passed
a hill dras tically cuttin g state fundin g of
(' duration in Washington prisons. House Bill
1010 res tat es the position of the st ate
government in relation to the Department
or Co rrections by capping educational
runding beyond the eighth grade level. No\\',
pris oners are left to a rrange their own
education. They must rely on family and
o the r pri vate financ ial support and
educational programs that do not use state
fund s. The lack of state funding has made a
creative approach to pri son education
necessary.
Facult\' and students at The Evergreen
State College have taken initiative to provide
alt ernative educational opportunities for
in ca rcerated students . Evergreen has
demonstrated a longtime commitment to
prison educat ion. mostly through individual
contracts between Evergreen faculrv and
inca rcerated student s.
This commitm ent ex panded 18
month s ago when Evergreen facultyand
stud ents initiated a prison project to bridge
the gap between Evergreen and incarcerated
student s. This involved the direc t
enrollmentof incarcerated students at
Shelton correctional facility intoestablished
fulliitime programs such as last yea r
Community Development program and this
year Hidden Histories. Incarcerated
students read all program books and join
semi nars through phone hook ups. A prison
outreach assistant collects notes and tapes
of the lectures andregularly mails them to the
incarcerated students along with handouts
and other class information. In addition,
some of the seminars last year were
conducted inside the Shelton prison.
According to a student report done on
House Bill 2010, in fiscal year 1994 over 2.000
incarcerated students utilized government
education funds by pursuing high school
diplomas, GEDs and vocational training.
The implementation of House Bill 2010 has
severely limi ted education a options and
demonstrated the government lack of
commitment to inmate rehabilitation.
Now. incarcerated students and their
families fund this program. Within the
prison community, collections have been
taken by inmates to support those who wish
to participate but cannot afford to. In place
of educational programs, inmates are placed
in prison industry projects that produce
goods for public consumption. Many
incarcerated students face the challenge of
working menial , full time jobs in prison
industries while finding time to complete
studies. Educational funding is being tut
while prisons become one of the fastest
growing industries.
The primary focus of the current prison
project has been the encouragement of
ron tact between Evergreen and incarcerated
students. Through seminars and the joint
group projects of last year, student s have
enjoyed diverse perspectives on the issues <i[
the class. Rachel Caplan. a student of last
year Community Development program .
worked with incarcerated stud ents on a
group project researching prison education.
According to Caplan,lt was a wonderful and
eye-opening experience" and said that having
incarcerated student s as classmates
expanded my concept of community. Caplan
noticed she changed from once seein g
incarcerated students as prisoners to viewing
them as classmates.
Caplan participation in the group
project involved interviewing Olympia
community members on their view of prison
education . She found a diverse range of
opinions, but overall the people separated
themselvesfrom the prisoners and thought
of them as the other. For many,dialogue
centered on money rather than the people,
she said. For her, she said, being able to walk
into a prison provided the opportunity to
move past the label of prisoner and to look
at the person behind that label. Caplan said
she wouldn't have done so without the
opportunity provided in Comm unity
Development.
She also expressed
appreciation for the faculty efforts that
sustained this project despite a lack of
financial support from the government.
A central focus ofthis prison program is
to build bridges between Eve rgreen and
incarcerated students across boundaries of
class and race. This year, in Hidden Histories,

canoe to the shore: making sure to leave it
in the water so it wouldn't rot.
Doug's parents thought the canoe
wasn't authentic, but Doug believed it was
because he could see tool marks where it
had been dug out from a single tree. He also
believed it was authentic because he had
found arro~l1eads on the shores of Black
Lake throughout his childhood.
When Doug was hired at Evergreen in
1983, he mentioned the canoe to several
people to see if they might want it for the
Longhouse . When they said "yes," Doug
pulled the ca noe from the water so it
wouldn 't float away. Different students and
faculty over the years showed interest in the
canoe and even came out to take pictures
and look at it. Still, the canoe sat on the
shore and began to decay.
In 1992 . Colleen Ray was hired to
shepherd the process of building the
Longhouse. Doug came to see Colleen and
told her that he had a "wonderful dug-out
ca noe that was a relic from the ancient days
'at Black Lake," Colleen said, She became
interested in having the canoe restored so
it could possibly be installed as an exhibit
at the Longhouse. When Colleen came out
and looked at the canoe, the bottom had
rotted-out from sitting on the shore.
The next summer, the Evergreen
foundation gave a group of students $250
in grant money to transport the canoe to

Evergreen and study it. Their main objective
was to stop the canoe's decay. The canoe
and its pieces were brought to the campus
wood shop on a rented boat trailer,
Once at the school, they studied the
canoe and were able to authenticate it. The
canoe is typical of the tribes in South Puget
Sound, said Colleen. It is snub-nosed and
good for travel on lakes because it is heavy
and stable. "This could have easily have
been a child's boat," sa id Colleen .
The canoe was pOSSibly used for
trading or flShing . Black Lake, said Colleen,
was an exchange center for the Chehalis,
Squaxin. and Nisqually tribes.
"[T he canoe] is a relic from the
immediate vicinity and an authentic , rich
opportunity to learn about the people of
this area ," said Colleen.
The canoe was transported to the
library basement for storage' and has been
there since. In the meantime, Colleen has
left Evergreen and Tina Moomaw was hired
as Longhouse director.
"I came into this position as late as
April. I don't know the history of the canoe;
it wasn't shared with me, " said Tina.
Because change in personnel and
budget problems with the Longhouse, the
canoe appears to be forgotten. said Colleen.
Now, in the basement of the library,
the canoe sits, half-rotted.

1997
The Board of
Trustees does
some work
REGULAR SESSION
There were several hundred bills introduced into the Legislature during the first week ohhe session; these are descriptions of a few. If you know of a bill that you would like mentioned in this
space. please con tacl or leave a message for David Scheer at the CPJ (campus extension 6213) along with the number of the bill and your phone number.

HOUSE BILL 1068
Sponsored by Sterk. D. Sommers, Boldt, Smith. and Van Luven
• Abill to prohibit the possession or
consumption of liquor in certain
Capitol Campus.
This bill is designed to make it illegal to drink liquor in
three buildings on the Capitol Campus: the Legislative building
(containing the House and Senate chambers). th e John L.
O'Brien building (containing House members' offices and
hearing rooms) , and the John A. Cherberg building (containing
senators' offices and hearing rooms). It does not address
possessing or consuming liquor in the Washingto n State
Supreme Court.
The bill, introduced the first day of open session, has
already received coverage from most Washington media. It was
reportedly introduced in response to complaints that legislators
celebrated - with liquor - while voting on legislation during
the last day of the 1996 session.
House bill 1068 has been referred to the House Committee
on Law and Justice.
• A bill to protect public breast- on the Washington/Oregon border to
pay in-state tuition in either state.
feeding.
This bill is designed to protect public breast-feeding from
prosecution by ame nding the legal definition of indecent
expos ure. Previously. indecent exposure was described as
intentional, open, and obscene exposure of one's person that
"is likely to cause reasonable affront or alarm." With this bill
in place as law, the legal definition would exclude the act of
breast-feeding, specifically eveh if the nipple of the woman's
breast is uncovered.
The text of the bill says it was proposed because of United
States Surgeon General recommendations that babies be breast
fed from birth until they are one year old. Conversely. the bill
reports that nearly halfofall new mothers choose formula over
breast-feeding before they leave the hospital, and that the
numbers of breast-feeding mothers drop sharply in the
following .months. The bill also the lists possible benefits of
breast feeding.
The writers of the bill hope to encourage an acceptance
of breast-feeding that will end "the embarrassment and the fear
of social ostracism or criminal prosecution" that mothers who
consider breast-feeding may face.
House bill 1213 has been referred to the House Committee
on Law and Justice.

This bill is designed to require anyone arrested for
prostitution or patronizing a prostitute to submit to a test for
the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) whether or not they
are convicted of the crime. If convicted they must pay$100 for
the cost of the test. This bill will also solidify that if after

By FRANCIS MORGAN-GALLO
Last quarter I was appointed
Student Representative to The Evergreen
State College Board of Trustees. Though
not everyone agrees with the methods of
appointing the representative used over
the years, I hope to do a good job of
representing all the students of Evergreen.
I am particularly interested to hear
opinions and concerns from part-time,
evening, weekend, and Tacoma campus
students. I talk to many students on the
Olympia campus during the day, but I
really need to hear from other students.
I attended the December meeting.
This was my first ·· meeting as
representative and a great honor. I heard
horror stories over the years about how
the board doesn't listen to students and
how they do things in secret. Last month
I had a real opportunity to work with the
men and women of the board. Yes, we did
work. We spent an enfire Wednesday
together. J began to develop respect for
the work, responsibility, and dedication
of the board members. I never believed
the stories being told. Now I can say from
personal experience the board is as
concerned about maintaining the values
and quality of Evergreen as any of us.
The primary focus of the board this
year is preparing for re-accreditation.
They spent a Tuesday afternoon and
Wednesday morning going through the
faculty evaluation process. The deans who
presented the . process assigned
homework for the board members
Tuesday night. I was pleased by the effort
people put into preparing for
Wednesday's workshop. I saw in all the
activities of the board a sincere concern
about the accreditation and quality of our
college. I found the afternoon somewhat
anticlimactic because it was like any
standard board business meeting.
"Is TESC going to lease land to state
agencies for office buildings?" was the
only concern I heard before the meeting.
I a~ked the board. They never considered
this an option and don't foresee it being
an option in the future. I hope students
will contact me with any other concerns
or opinions. If you have any items you
want me to discuss with the board I need
to have them by the last Wednesday of the
month. Address any concerns to Student
Representative, TESC President's Office,
Olympia, WA 98505: drop it by the mail
room

to
Student
Representative; e-mail
me at

COMMENTARY.
By BONN I E W ARD, CUSTODIAN
Iwould just like to express how the other
custodians and I would like to be recognized
and appreciated for our hard work at
Evergreen. It would be appreciated if the
Evergreen community would take time to
thank George Leago, Bruce Van de Walker, and
Dan Clarke for doing a good job training us.
Ifit weren't for them training us, this campus
would be a disaster to work at.
Please take time to show a little
appreciation for these three fine men and all
of us that work for them. It would make our
work much more rewarding to serve the
Evergreen community.

Let's talk about sex
give you false information . I could help you
find information if you wanted to figure oui
when you ovulate."
They brought up many more questions.
They wanted to know about ovulation: what
it is, how it happens, when it happens. One
of the girls exclaimed, "They never really told
us exactly how these things work. They only
told us not to have sex, and if we do. to use
birth controL" I was shocked I Although,
when I think back to my high school years. I
realize I wasn't fully informed either.
"Ovulation; we'll begin in the ovaries
where ovum live. First, let me say a woman
is born with all the eggs she'll ever have."
One of the girls asked. "so, menopause
is when a woman runs out of eggs?"
"Yes," I answered, glad to hear they told
her something correct. "The ovum starts out
as a primary follicle , and begins to grow
producing estrogen. The estrogen causes a
layer of tissue inside the uterus (called the
endomet rium) to thicken, later to be used as
a nutrient so urce for the implanted fertilized
egg or expelled in menstruation. While the
ovum is growing in the ovaries, the corpus
lutem grows. It begins to swell. When the
estroge n that is circulating in the
bloodstream reaches its peak, the follicle
containing the ovum and corpus lutem burst
and the ovum is released into th e fallopian
tube, where we ret urn to point A. The
bursting is ovulation. which occurs
I had an interesting conversation the
other day with two female friends of mine,
one 16 years old and the othe( 17. The
conversation somehow made its way to sex,
as it sometimes does. I began to ask them
questions, wondering how informed they
were. I asked them if they knew exactly how
pregnancy can occur. They looked at me with
eager yet confused faces.
I' began by drawing a picture of a
woman's reproductive system. Here is what
I explained to them:
"Sperm can live in a woman's body up
to seven days, contrary to prior belief that
they only live for three days. The sperm must
swim from the vagina, through the os of the
cervix, up the uterus and all the way through
the fallopian tubes to point A on the picture.
There is on ly' a 24-48 hour period when a
woman is fertile and ca n get pregnant.
However, if she happen ed to have
unprotected sex within the last seven days,
and a sperm happened to make it to point A.
she can still get pregnant. So that makes the
window move from 24-48 hour period up to
a seven day period. Just to be safe, I would
give myself a two week period, because it is
very hard to know exactly when you ovulate.
There are methods you can use to find out
exactly when yo u ovulate, but I haven 't
researched that yet, and I wouidn't want to
approximately 14 days before menstruation.
The released ovum will wait up to 48 hours;
if no sperm comes to fertilize the egg. it will
travel down the fallopian tube to the uterus
and be expelled with the inner nutrient lining
(menstruation). The tricky part is, if a spe rm
has been waiting at point A when ovulation
occurs. pregnancy will take place.
Remember, the sperm can wait at poin t A for
up to seven days. If fertilization does take
place, the fertilized egg begins dividin g
immediately and eventually implants on the
uterus lining. But that's another story."
The gi rls thanked me for giving th em
such useful information . Of course. I still
strongly encouraged them to use some kind
of birth control method no matter what; it 's
better to be safe than pregnant at 16. After
aU, if they are going to do it, at least give them
the opportunity to make educated decisions
rather than letting them enter the world
clueless. Wouldn't it be wonderful if all teens
could get the real facts about sex?
PHAT provides free co ndoms!! Just
come to CA B 310 and look for us! If you
would like more infomation on this or <lny
other health-related topic, please get in touch

COLUMN.
By KIM N GUYEN
Where do I even begin?
I remember in junior high, and even
early on in high school, how all the kids,
beginning to feel The Urge-s, w,ould
spontaneously crack penis jokes. And 1
remember how all the kids found the word
"it" endlessly hysterical. Once, when
watching a video about Native Americans in
class, all the boys started laughing
uncontrollably whenever the narrator said
something like "the women do it," meaning
that the women grind up the cornmeal, or
gather, or whatever. But boys, being
preadolescent boys, of course, pictured
something else with every repetition of that
word. The junior high girls were no better;
they laughed at the same jokes, giggled with
any mention of the word "penis" or "vagina"
or "breasts."
This inability to handle sex maturely
stops in junior high, right?
We'd like to think so. But just because
we have some sexual experience under our
belts, and we have the proper vocabulary
that, in theory, should allow us to speak
about sex in a non-junior high manner, does
not mean that we're much more than
adolescent in all matters sexual. What I'm
trying to say is we think we're handling sex
in a mature manner because we can freely
talk about it. That's something the sexual
revolution has ingrained in our heads.
But who, even in our age group, or
especially in our age group, can speak about
sex in a way thatisn 't meant to make people
laugh? The other day, a group of girls began
giggling about penises and sex in general
during a break in class. Now, this behavior
is strikingly similar to junior high girls and
Don't think you're doing
me a favor by
subjecting me to your
sexual openness.
boys telling bawdy prepubescent recess jokrs
in the schoolyard. When the penis jokes
started getting old, one of th e girls began
recalling strange sexual experiences she'd
had, loud enough so that anyone in the room
could hear. As if! really wanted to know who
she posed for and why.
Now, I'm no prude. I'm all for being
open to sexuality. But, and correct me if I'm
wrong, being open does not mean being loud
and obnoxious. There's a place for
everything. And the classroom isn't the place
to be talking about past sexual experience,
or whether size really matters. Unless, of
course, that's what the program is aiming to
discuss. I don't mind peopl~ speaking abollt
these things amongst themselves. I just have
a problem when people are too loud for me
to ignore. And a conversation pretty much
anywhere in the classroom is too loud to
ignore.
Feeling free to talk about sex doesn't
mean yo u are free of inhibiti ons or
discretion. · It doesn't mean you can talk
about sex anywhere anytime you want, and
that, gosh darn it, people are just going to
have to gt't with it. With talki ng about sex
comes a ce rtain degree of responsibility.
First of all you have to know the time and
place to talk about it. Second, know that
there are certain people who just don't care
how many times you've done it in one night.
Third, know that you are under no obligation
to free anyone ofhis/ her inhibitions; don't
think yo u're doing me a favor by subjecting
me to your sexual openness. Fourth, don 't
go advertising your sexuality: if you can' t
stop talking about it. then you're probably
having trouble handling it. And fifth, take
care not to offend anyone; feeling free to
speak what 's on your mind doesn't lIlean you
don't have to take into consideration how
other people might feel aboul the subject.
So there. I spoke about sex in a non junior high manner. Was that so hard?

This grirl'anl'l' is made by Yuri Koslen, a thi rd year stude nt

a pa id ro-coordinator at the Environlllental Resourcl' Cf.'nter,
am a vo lunt eer coordinator at th e Pearl' Cent er, and was
appoint ed as the alt ernate studellt represent ati ve to th e Board
ofTrllstl't's. I make this grievance due to tlw use of unnecessary
alld exc{'ssiv(' force by the TESe police se rvices ~gainst me.
History and Claim
On \Vednesday the 11th ofDer.. I woke up knowing that
at 5:30 that afternoon my final project of th e qua rt er was due
for my Natural History & Ethnobotany class with profl'ssors
Hill Hashim and Marya Elohi mo. I still had to gat her some of
the Ill:lterials needed fur the completion of my project and put
it all tugether into a poster present at ion. My poster board 'was
in an office ofT 4th St. in downtown Olympia. With this plan in
mind, I went to the fo rest sou th of Evergreen 's Organ ic farm
to gather ma teria ls. then stopped by the library Building to
take one last look at the periodicals.
When t'n tering the parking lot behind the library there is
a sign which reads NOTICE: No Parking in this area, unloading!
loading only, 30 min maximum. As I expected to be in the
parking lot for less than 30 minutes, I didn 't believe mysel f in
\'iolation of this posting. In the lot there are t he fo ll owing signs:
'disab led pa rkin g permit required , va ns only, TESC Mail.
vehides on ly. reserved . NO PARKING ANYT IME. and
Commericial vehicle: pick up and delivery parking only· 30m in.
maximum.' There was a mini·van parked in front of the pay
phone and a blue EMERGENCY ALARM in a place without a
sign. Not parking in any ofthe~e spots, I con tinu ed to look fo r
a parking place. The spot I found had no sign and no yellow
markings (as is see n in the 'no parking' zones). I parked and
ran up to th e library to make one las t attempt to gather
information. All of my activi ties were in the normal course of
my academ ic studies at th e Evergreen State College.
When I C31lle bark wi thin 30 minu tes, I noticed a parking
ticket on Ill\' fnlllt windshield. At the sa me time , a small whi te
parking truck and a TESC Pol ice vehicle pulled up and blocked

Officer Curtis McHend ry were in the police vehicles. I greeted
the officers by saying "Wha t's up?" McHendry replied with "we
finally caught up with you." Hi s ton e was condescending and.

Professional music and dance group hits TESC
BY JENNIFER KOOGLER
The Evergreen State College will host the
Carmona Flamenco group on Friday, Jan , 24
in the Recital HaiL The evening of Spanish
gypsy music, dance, and song will be
highlighted by a performance by Evergreen
faculty member Terry Setter.
Setter is one of two guitar players in the
Carmona Flamenco group, of which he has
been a member on and off for about four
years. The group, which includes Marcos and
Rubina Carmona and Anna Monteze, has
performed in Seattle at the Folklife Festival, at
Bumbershoot, and all around the Northwest.
The performance will included two sets,
with a wide range of pieces, from what Setter
describes as "very profound, dark songs" to
campy. humorous songs. This spectrum of
emotion is typical of Flamenco music, but
Setter says that even in the most upbea t of
songs. there is a shadow of sadness.
Flamenco is a combination of many
influences in Spanish music. Going back as far
as the 1500s, Flamenco incorporates Spanish,
Moorish, and Jewish musical forms that
existed in Spain before the Inquisition, says
Setter. It did not really grow into its own
identity until the nineteenth century. however.
because it was limited to poorer sections of
society. Setter says even today, a middle or
upper class Spaniard may look down on
Flamenco as a lower art form.
Setter likens Flamenco to American blues
in the sense that it evolved from the depressed
economic groups of Spain. Structurally, the
the Cooper Point Journal
music is similar to blues, he says, because the
rhythm, mostly four and 12 beat cycles, is the
fundamental part of a song. After they are
established, the chords and the melodies are
added. Within the different modes, such as a
classic Spanish phrygian mode (which rUlls
the scale from E to E, for those of you playing
along at home), Setter says the music is largely
improvisation. You pick a structure, he says,
"a nd then away you go."
Carmona Flamenco will use a
performance structure called "quadro," or
square, for the show. The form keeps the
artists close together, creating what Setter calls
"a more intimate quality" than large theatrical
stage productions. This form, he says.
originated from families playing together in
their homes.
Setter and Marcos Carmona, the artistic
directoifand lead guitarist for the group, will
use "raSqueado," which in Spanish means
"rasping"; a fancy strumming technique
unique to flamenco. They also tap the body of
the guitar for rhythmic emphasis. using a
guard to protect the wood of the instrument
from over- stimulation.
Setter took his first Flamenco guitar
lesson at 17. When he was 18, he lived in
Spain for a few months studying his craft.
These days, he practices in spurts, taking it up
for a few years and then stopping for another
few. The others in the group have been
professionals for years, and have practiced
with many greats of the Flamenco world.
Rubina Carmona, dancer and singer irt the
.'1.
group, studied with Bernardo de los Lobitos,
the last great master of Flamenco song.
Setter says it is very rare in the United
States that you hear good Flamenco singing,
but "in Spain, it is the absolute heart of it. .. in
Spain, the singers are gods," Here, he says, the
dancers reign, because much of the song is lost
through the language. All of the songs in the
performance will be in Spanish.
The dances, which will be performed by
Rubina Carmona and Monteze, are
expressive, especially for the hands. Unlike
Orissi dance, which relates specific hand
gestures to specific meanings, in Flamenco
dance hands are free-flowing.
Setter describes Flamenco dances as
"being grounded and earthy," as opposed to
ballet, which emphasizes feet articulation andelevation. The dancer expresses the rhythm of
the music through movement, "playing the
stage as an instrument."
There will be a free Flamenco guitar and
dance workshop offered the day of the
performance for those interested. Space is
limited, so if you are interested. call Setter at
x6615 for information.
The performance, which is expected to
last approximately two and a half hours, takes
place in the Recital Hall in the
Communications Building at So p.m. Tickets
are $5 and can be purchased at the TESC
Bookstore, Rainy Day Records, and at the
door. The lovely posters you-'ve seen around
campus were designed by students in the
Mulitmedia program.

BY JONNY FINK
[ want to marry Rose Melberg. I have
this all planned out. I want to marry her and
become her roadie. I'm sure it would work
out if only we could meet. *
Let me explain why Miss Melberg is so
eminently crushworthy. Throughout her
career in three different bands (Tiger Trap, Go
Sailor and the Softies), she has consistently
written and sung songs that sum up
everything important there is to say about
love. She sings about things that you always
wanted to say, but were never quite able to
put into words yourself. And she does it all
set to the tune of absolutely lovely, catchy
melodies.
While Tiger Trap had a slightly punky
edge, and Go Sailor is very straightforward
and (generally) 'upbeat pop, the Softies play
sad songs. Well, maybe they're not aJl sad
songs, they all certainly sound like sad songs,
Both Rose and her partner Jen Sbragia sing
and play guitar, and the way their voices
harmonize is beautiful and heartbreaking in
its simplicity_ They sing songs about breaking
promises and stealing covers "from no one at
all."
Winter Pageant is the Softies second
album on K Records (an eight-song EP on
Siumberiand Records came out last summer),
and is filled with 14 more modest songs about
love and its complications. On the first few
listens, I began to worry that Winter Pageant
was too much like the band's other music. If
there is a problem with the Softies' music it is
that with just two voices and two guitars, the
songs are limited by their simplicity and all
begin to sound alike after a while. But as a
friend reminded me, they might start to sound
like the same song, but it's a really, reallygood
song. And perhaps it's an inevitability - a
band's second album almost never seems as
refreshing and original as their first.
However, as I've listened to this new
album over and over a few songs have begun
to stand out. Perhaps the most surprising of
the songs is "Splintered Hands," apparently
about a post-breakup fight. "Tracks and
Tunnels" is about a train ride that just takes a
painfully long time and probably features the
most memorable guitar part. In it, Rose casts
herself as Cupid: "I raise my bow and aim /
missing every time the same." They even add
a bit of musical variety with a piano on
"Winter Pageant"' and a xylophone on "Pack
Your Things and Go."
I would recommend Winter Pageant to
anyone who enjoyed It's Loveor the self-titl!d
EP and would like to hear more of the Softies,
And watch out, because they should be

another alterna-band that grunt and grind
their guitars. There are hints of musical
experimentation on this record that raise it
above the typical drool. Songs like uSegue
I," "Segue 2," "Another Space Song," and"
Daylight" feature sparkles of resonant guitar
fuzz and random sound effects like horns
and laughing. "Smoking Umbrellas" and
"Pillowhead" are catchy tunes, especially the
latter's base line, which, if the listener is
caught off guard, incites random head
banging.
"Blank" is one of th e slower songs,
featuring lyrics like "I don't care for nothing
that gets me too high, Ikind oflike the blank
way you fill up my mind." While it is a
somewhat smooth song, it doesn't permeate
the soul or tingle the skin.
A distracting element to the Failure
sound is the fact that Andrews' voice sounds
like he's trying to sing like a British guy, hence
he ends up sounding almost exactly like
Gavin from the teeny bopper grunge band
Bush. Although Failure has been around
since 1990 (which is before Bush became the
MTV darlings they are today). and they could
not have copied. it is slightly gnawing at the
nerves.
Failure is playing with Slow Children
down at the Capitol Theater on Saturday.
Granted the power of the album. I'm sure
their live show will be entertaining and incite
moshing of varied intensity. Check it out.
There are thousands of bands in the

Guitar, bass, drums. As Nirvana once pointed
out, uverse, chorus. verse."
With the explosion ofUalternative" music
earlier this decade, more and more of these
bands have floated to the surface of the band
pool. They surf the waves of commercial radio
and MTV. Their faces are scattered in hip
magazines with hip fashions.
Failure is one of those bands drifting in
the calm tide pool between non-recognition and
over-<;onsumption. Major glossy magazines
have paid attention, as have the radio stations.
The waves are starting to pick up.
Failure's third album is entitled Fantastic
Planet. It is a 17-song catapult of guitar, bass,
and drum reverberations and fog (provided by
Troy Van Leeuwen, Greg Edwards, and Kellii
Scott, respectively) combined with raspy vocals
by Ken Andrews, who sings about love and
other sta~s oflyric creations. With a few stops
in ballad land. FaIltastic Planet rocks. or at least
attempts to.
The first song. "Saturday Saviour" (note
British-sty[e spelling), starts out with glittery
clear pluckiest of a xylophone before collapsing
into crunchy guitar chords. From there,
Andrews, with his guitar and his voice, sustain
a verse chorus verse style that exemplifies the
entire album. Pretty much each song sounds
the same. That's not necessarily a bad thing,
but it does grind on the ears after 17 songs.
This is also not to say that Failure is jus~

frlendl, guide from the cpJ
would like to leave a note for the A&Eeditor,
write that Clown (the office provides paper
and pens) and tack it up on the bulletin
board square marked "Jen K"
4) Do all this by 4:30 p.m on a Monday. This
saves you a space in th e coming Thursday's
paper. ·If you are having trouble meeting this
deadline talk witb the A&E editor. ' You ca n
get an extension (maybe).
5) If yo u are having trouble writing a story,
Or can't come up with any ideas, come up to
the CPJ and chat with the A&E editor.
Brainstorming is better when it's done ,in a
group anyway. Alot of bra instorming occurs
at the CPJ story meeting. which happen every
Monday at 4: 30 p.m. You can get a story
then , if you so desire.
6) Wait for the paper to come out. Granted
th ere are no natural or techn olog ica l
disasters that week, your story should appear
in the paper. Mail a copy to the ones you
love.
---thanks fro m A&E editor Jennifer Koogler
