One Artist
by Michael David

I'm an artist not to be pimped;
,
not to be a whore;
For what good is speaking if you have no voice?
What good is opportunity if you have no choice?
I'm an artist not to be fooled',
not to be- big brothers tool;
For what good is being civil if you have no rights?
What good is a pulse if you have no life?

p;

I'm an artist not to be victimized',
not to be trivialized',
not to be characterized by any elite;
For what good is an artist without is his art?

Wise, D'Souza to debate Affirmative Action
Evergreen event will spotlight national figures in the debate over providing equality
By LFJGH CULLEN
A debate about Affirmative Action is
coming to The Evergreen State College, Two
experts on Affirmative Action, proponent Tim
Wise and opponent Dinesh D'Souza, will be
debating on November the 21 at 3:00pm in the
Campus Recreation Center,
This debate is part of an effort by many

TTB'~n
Ti'm Wise, nationally known speaker,
author, and political organizer, will
argue in defense of Affirmative Action .

,V\ 11<E

state agencies and colleges to take a closer look
at Affirmative Action. Affirmative Action is a
federal and state mandate that grew out of the
Civil Rights Act of 1964 to "correct the effects
of past and ongoing discrimination," says Paul
Gallegos, the special assistant to the president
for equal opportunity, who organized the
debate. This debate has been set up now
because "Affirmative Action is being targeted
in national dialogue as a problem, rather than
a solution," says Gallegos.
Tim Wise is an author, political

organizer and ,analyst of race relations, He is a
nationally known speaker and has had many
media appearances, Wise believes that
Affirmative Action is becoming the scapegoat
for "politicians to whip up white male
resentment." Because companies are
downsizing and moving to other countries,
people need someone to blame for their lost
jobs, says Wise. Wise believes that Affirmative
Action will benefit all Americans because it
teaches people to interact with all kinds of
people.
White men still hold a disproportionate
number of executive level jobs. Affirmative
Action is effective, yet the need for it hasn 't
diminished because it has only been enforced
for a short period between 1971 and 1978, says
Wise. Since 1978, Affirmative Action has been
cut back and courts have chipped away at it, says
Wise,
Dinesh D'Souza is a research fellow at the
American Enterprise Institute and an author.
D'Souza is also a nationally known speaker and
was a senior domestic policy analyst for Reagl!n
from 1987 to 1988. D'Souza believes that
Affirmative Action once served a purpose, but
that discrimination is not a main factor today
, in employment practises. He believes that
Affirmative Action used to be an effective
recruitment that didn't compromise
The Affirmative Action policy for
Evergreen states that .employment shall be
"based upon merit principles without regard to
race, color, creed, national origin, gender, sexual
orientation, marital status, age, disability, or
status as a disabled veteran or Vietnam
veteran ...,The Evergreen State Collrge [isl
committed to taking affirmative action to
increase the numbers of protected group
members in areas where they have not
traditionally been employed."
Recently Affirmative Action has come
under attack in many states, In California,
Proposition 209 passed and effectively abolished
Affirmative Action in that state. 27 other states
are also considering similar plans, says Tim

Wise.
Anti-Affirmative Action's arguments are
"powerful and for that reason it is important
to face and deal with them, " says Paul
Gallegos. [n bringing D'Souza to Evergreen to
speak, Gallegos wants communit), members
to hear the arguments against Affirmative
Action and think critically about them,

Dinesh D'Souza, author and a former
senior policy analyst for the Reagan
administration, will try to show the
faults of Affirmative Action .

"Evergreen is a special place. Dialogue
is at the heart of the learning process and if
we teach anything in seminar, it's the process
of respectfully listening to opposing
viewpoints, thinking critically and.'
challenging viewpoints on their merit, and
respectful articulation of our own viewpoint
with intent to build a community that works,"
says Gallegos.

Housing seeks students to ldominate' planning'
By HILLARY ROSSI
Fall 1997: You saunter down the cement
path squeezed between the Community Center
and the quicksand of the soccer field hoping
to get your hands on some $.50 homemade
bread from the Corner Cafe and some $.97
Birch 's Cream Soda from the Branch, As you
. approach the Community Center, you hear the
rumble of skate boards and the strumming of
an acoustic guitar, and you know you are at
Evergreen. You enter the Community Center,
but it takes you a couple of seconds to realize
that things inside have drastically changed,
On Wednesday, November 20 at 7:00
p.m., a meeting will be held in the Community
Center on the alterations that Housing is
thinking of making in the next year, The
changes will be done to the Community Center
building.
"The scope of this right now is very
broad," said Chuck McKinney, the assistant
TESC Olympia, WA

98505

director of residential life for student and
community development. He wants the
meeting to be "dominated by residents,"
"We want to solicit possible volunteers
to work on the Community Center," he
continued. The volunteers will brainstorm
ideas during Winter Quarter about renovating
the Community Center, including the Branch
and the Corner Cafe. They will then give a series
of recommendations for the future of the
Community Center to Housing during Spring
Quarter,
As of right now, the Corner Cafe and the
Branch have already made internal changes.
The original idea uf the Corner Cafe came
to mind in the late 1970s as an "]lternative to
Northwest Food Services" said McKinney.
They are "the Corner Collective", which means
that they have no single manager; the student
employees make decisions for the Corner Cafe
in consensus. Five years ago, they all decided

to stop serving meat because it was too costly,
and since then have been serving vegan food.
However, the Corner Cafe has
consistently lost money for the past couple of
years, approximatrly $11,000 per year.
"In the close of each year when it became
apparent [the Corner Cafel was coming up
negative, I went to them and told them
housing's not willing to sustain the losses,"
McKinney said . At the end of last year
McKinney told the student employees of the
Corner Cafe "to manage themselves better and
to serve the residents better."
This fall, the Corne, Cafe stopped serving
on Fridays because they weren't making a
profit, the average Friday night bringing in
about $200 compared to the $360 made every
other night during the week. This school year,
the Corner Cafe has also begun serving lunch .
The Branch, which up until this year was

Committee to make
decisions for a,rt
BY TREVOR PYLE

This is a campus where Ice Cube resides in a
CAB mural and an entire building is an expression
of Native American art. There are two galleries,
several exhibits, and the occasional student art
projects that sprout and die like flowers.
Art has always been a big part t'lfEvergreen's
campus.
B!Jt what do yo u do with a limestone
Geoduck?
More specifically, a limestone Geoduck that
weighs 135 pounds?
Evergreen's Public Art Committee met for
the fIrst time yesterday, and the question above
isn't the only one that they have to answer.
"How will the Evergreen State College go
about collecting and maintaining a collection of
art?" Sandy McKenzie asks. She is a committee
co-chair and the college's Executive Director of
College Advancement. "What about people who
want to donate art to the college?"
The committee includes staff, faculty, and
one student, although up to three more students
can join if interested. The other co·chair is Rino
Balatbat, who is the campus Architect/ Planner,
Their goals are to come up with policies as to how
and if the college will accept art, advise where art
will be placed and how it will be installed, and
come up with guidelines through the Art in Public
Places Program.
The Art in Public Places Program is one of
the reasons the committee was formed. Through
Washington State law, one·half of one percent of
building and renovation funds go towards buying
art for these areas. On Evergreen there have been
three such programs: the computer·center
remodel, the communication building remodel.
and the media center remodel. Together, these
three projects have provided funds of close to eigh t
thousand dollars so Evergreen can purchase art.
One reason the committee formed was to
decide how.
The Art in Public Places Program holds art
programs where colleges can send three
representatives to buy art. The artists at the show
are chosen by competition every two years. But
with the next show on November 19, and the first
art committee meeting on the 13th, there wasn't
much time to pick representativrs. Evergreell's
presidents and vice-presidents decided to wait
with the eight thousand dollars.
They have the option of waiting for the next show,
or saving money until they have enough-twenty·
five thousand dollars minimum-to commission
an art work.
But a more immediate concern was the Geoduck,
An Olympia resident sent a letter and
photographs of the sculpture, wanting to donate
it to the college.
Members of the committee passed around
the photographs around the table,
"Most geoducks are pretty ugly," McKenzie
said. "This one's kind of cute."
The committee' won't necessarily make
decisions on subm itted art all the time, Balatbat
subm itted procedures for accepting artwork, and
the committee hopes to decide on procedures and
submit them to the Board of Trustees.
"We never had these kind of procedures
before." McKenzie said,. holding a photograph ill
one hand and gesturing with another. "The need
is growi~g-8reater and greater."
A derision on the Geoduck is pending.

residents, but according to numerous sources
and despite what the media ha s often
presented, much of the Hopi population has
no problem with the Dineh living there. In
fact, representatives of the Traditional Hopi
KikmongWe (a council of elders distinct from
the Hopi Tribal Council) have supported the
Dineh of Big Mountain and the surrounding
areas in th eir efforts to resist forced
relocation.
According to the Shundahai Network, an
Indigenous activist support organization in
Washington D.C., the vast majority of the
Dineh are not interested in signing the lease
agreement. And although it is not certain that
removal will begin immediately following
December 31, th e likelihood of this may
depend on the amount of attention the
international community lends to this i·ssue.

This school. this state, this country, and
this world is run through the efforts ofworkers.
As student employees we have no voice,
representation, or recourse for grievances, nor
a method to address
important
issues
concerning
our
working condition. Yet
we perform many of
the daily tasks that keep
this
institution
functioning. We are
employees of the State
of Washington, yet as
Washington State
Student Employees we
are denied the same
labor rights as a Washington State Higher
Education Employee. Should this be?
All the staffand faculty of Evergreen have
taken control of themselves and their jobs. They
are all union workers. This school fs a "closed
shop". We all work along side these people, but
are not granted the relative opportunities,
protections, and benefits that they receive. We
will not be given these. We must give them to
ourselves.
Why a union?
A union is a group of people who have
solidarity in order to reach their goals. A union
is a collective that equalizes the power

relationship between employers and employees.
Aunion is people sticking together and looking
out for one another, and a union is about
demanding equality and recognition. In short,
a union can be or do whatever its members make
it. Unions have been used to fight work place
racism and sexism, for
a living wage, health
and safety concerns,
organize
daycare
centers, gain a weekend
and shorter work
hours, orjust being sure
tha t as workers they are
not alone.
SWO
The
Student
Workers Organization
is working to form a truly democratic union of,
by and for Student Workers so we can address
the issues that face us now and in the future. No
one, but all of us must come together to do this.
Ifyou cannot make it to a meeting we will come
to you. Whether you are an individual or part
ofa group ofworkers call the SWO at x6098 with
questions, answers, problems or solutions, we
are here to help. Our meetings are every
Wednesday starting at one in the S&A on the
second floor of the CAB. Everyone is welcome.
Our numbers give us power and we can use this
power to stand together united in our common
struggles and goals as Student Workers.

II\' CR,IIGST. CLAIR
I.att last Wednesday afternoon . the editor
In fonned me that two people have responded to

(which was very poorly titled by the CPJ staff. I
haw no notions of wanting Evergreen to "strive"
for I'ariety; that wa s not my point). He went on
to say that one was fairly "criticaL" I thought to
Illyself that t hat was good, and eagerly awaited
tll read what cr iticism lay ahead. I was largely
~ adde n ed by what I saw. In the first paragraph
ofMr. Johnson's response, I was told I was wrong ,
thl' next. lhat I was stupid, in th e next that .
indirectly. I am a raci st and a fasrist. All of this
in only the first three paragraph's . My first
thoughts were. "'s this how Evergreen want s to
treat unpopular, or 'poli tically incorrect' views'!"
Well. it seems that way.
I should have been happy, Why'! Because
Mr, Johnson's response is living proofofwhat I
have been saying all year abou't the intolerance
and exclusivity on this campus. His response
teems with the message that my ideas are wrong
and not worth listening to. and are every bit
worth insulting and degradi ng. By what moral
standard is Mr. Joh nson judging my ideas? How
would any of you reading react to being called an
intellectual adolescen t. or having your views and
ideas prejudicially slandered as racist and fac ist.
I have noticed that Greeners have a big problem
wi th calling things th ey don't care for "fasc ist."
With this kind of apparent hostility how
ca n this cam pus truly be all inclusive? Well. the
rea lity is that it can not and is not. Imagine if this
excha nge had taken place in a seminar. Imagi ne
if Mr. Johnson had said some the things he said
in his response to my face: Would he have sa id
them th e same way? I would hope not. Such
discourse is NOT conducive to understanding or
maintaining positive relationships with people in
which we have to work and live. If this cam pus
truly wants to understand and accept all ideas as
valid and worthy of discussion, it needs to get off
of its' id eo logical high horse and realize how
hypocritical assumptions abou t political

correctness really are. You cannot shout Or insu lt
you opponent's ideas into in validity,
Mr. Johnson's biggest_misconception of
what I llave been say ing (he does seem to be
criticizi ng all of my articles, not just the one to
which he responded) regards conservatism. Mr.
Johnson see ms to be evaluating co nservati sm
though the eyes of one of Evergreen's Political
Economy classes. I make it very cl ear in my piece
that Kirk is no Repub li cian. He abhores
industrial capitalism as much as most Greeners,
Were one to actually read Russell Kirk, one would
find a world of difference between th e Classical
Liberals that call themselves Rebublicians and the
conservatism of Russell Kirk. It is true that Kirk
influ enced the conservative movement that has
grown in the last 50 years, but, as with many
popular movements, their founders intentions
ofte n are marred by people who do not
und erstand, or do not care to , But, as I
men ti oned. I wi ll take up th e iss ue of
conserva tism later and hopefully bring some
clarity to the iss ue of America's all eged
conservative Republi cians and the conservatism
I see.
Mr. Johnson and Ms , Ga ratea did issue
some just criticism with regard to my column. It
is true. as Ms, Garatea alluded to, that I am no
linguist, nor do I have the slightest bit of training
in linguistics. My intent was to illustrate a pOint,
to illustrate what I see at Evergreen and try to
expllin what Isee going on. I admit it was a feeble
attempt and their criticism is wel~taken.
However I do feel that both of my responses
missed the point of my piece. The point was that
there is an air of exclusivity that contrasts what
Evergreen is alleged ly all about. That is what I
chall enge an d que st ion. Their responses
reinforce what I have been saying regarding this
exclusivity, and the intolerance th at results,
As always. there is never enough room to
respond to all of the comments made . I am
always willing to take there discussions fur th er
in a more conducive atmosphere over coffee. You

sexual harassment. I know
this because I'm staring at
a banner on the wall that tells me so. There are
thirty parts to this document. It includes staring
at someone, winking, elevator eyes (looking a
person up and down): facial ex pressions,
persona l question s about soc ial life and
unwanted pressure for dates,
I have talked to a lot of guys who are
confused by the myriad complexities of sexual
harass ment. It is daunting enough to risk
rejec tion to say nothing of fear of reprisal for a
sexual harassment complaint. ,For instance:

That could be sexual harass ment. All guys
have to be more careful. I don't know what the
percentage is of g\!ys that call1l.Q1 respect
boundaries. I do know they make it hard for
those of us who do. But what abo ut women that
don 't know how to se t

Who is at fau lt then? Is a
guy supposed to read
womens' minds to know
his reques t for a date is
unwanted? Is it ridiculous
to expect to be told your
att ention is 'unwanted?
Or should we just wait for
women to take the
initiative (yoll know thats
bullshit because most
women still draw tFi e line
at asking guys out )?
At Evergreen it
would appear to be so. For
a so· called "liberal" school
it can become surprisingly

RAPE RESPONSE COALITION
On Thursday, November 7, the Rape
Response student group, in coalition with the
Women 's Resource Ce nt er, Evergreen Queer
Alliance, and a myriad of volunteers, hosted the
Take Back the Night March and Rally. The
purpose of this event was to raise our voices and
~ wareness against the travesties of sexual and
domestic violence.
As a coordinator, I held fear s that the
turnout to this event would be low; however, as
a survivor, I knew that if the event could reach
out to one person that it would be a success. And
quite a success it was! A head cou nt of
participants guesstimated attendance between
seventy and eighty people. I am writing to thank
the community for your participation. I want to
acknowledge both the participants in attendance,
as well as our community as a whole for providing
a safe space for survivors, friends, and family to
come together, speak out, and empower each
other.
It isn't easy or comfortable to talk about
these highly personal and emotional issues. To
do so is to expose ourselves and run the risk of
further pain , To avoid doing so sustains the
silence and perpetuates the problem
(perpetrators rely on our shame and silence) .
Bridging our personal problems with public
issues shines a new light on thte issue and allows
us to see that our personal pain i ~ nothing to be
ashamed of. Together we give each other strength

there were a lot of buried emotions brought

other and creating safe spaces for
communication, we can begin to heal and work
on ways of ending th e violence,
However, we do not have to wait for special
events to facilitate awareness, communication,
and a stronger sense of community. I encourage
members of th e community to build coalitions
in our everyday lives. Share your time, beliefs.

and you open yourself up to a greater sense of
commUNITY: a com munity in which you are
bound to find mea ningful connection s and

P,S.
If anyone knows where the two or three
shirts missing from the Clothesline Project
(displayed in the Housing Community Center
over the weekend) are, please return them to the
Women's Resource Center (2nd floor CAB), or
the Rape Response Coalition (3rd floor CAB). No
questions asked.
However, I would like to say. one of the

commentary
BY

DAVID SCHOEN

DIRECTOR, HEALTH AND COUNSELING
In the Halloween edition of th e Cooper
Point Journal, Mik Scully expresses her concerns
about changes in the Community Health and
Counseling fee, I would like to discuss Iier issues
with th e greater Evergreen community, explain
the process that brought about the change, and
correct some in acc uracies in the commentary.
Since 1983, the Community Health and
Counseling Fee has been assessed to support the
operation of the Student Health and Counseling
Centers at Evergreen , Staying healthy in the
stressful environment of high er education is
necessary if one is to learn and to complete his
or her goal of obtaining a college degree. Access
to these serv ices is critical. It neec;ls to be
convenient, available, and fair. The mandatory
fee is paid by all Olympia campus undergraduate
students taking 10 or more credit hours and all
'full·time graduate students which the college
defines as taking eight or more credit hours.
Evening/weekend undergraduate programs are
eight hours which places it under the 10 hours or
more range. Some evening/weekend students
take more than one take'more than one program
which places them in the 10 or more range. These
evening/wee kend st udents are charged the
health fee.
The decision to make the changes to the
waiver &fee policies involved many consultations
with administrators & faculty. Students were
polled last Winte! and Spring quarters and an

announcement was in the CPJ. Our
recommendation for these changes was approved
by the Board of Trustees. Of greatest concern
was: How can we be equitable and provide the
greatest access with the available resources of th e
Health and Counseling Centers at the lowest
possible cost to students, For at least a decade
th e center has had evening hours which are walk·
in hours; an .appointment is not necessa ry.
Appointments are available during the day to the
individuals who plan ahead just as you would
with any other clinic and medical center. Please
be aware that in addition to clinical services, the
Health and Counseling Centers also offer free
HIV te stin g, free condoms. quarterly free
immunization programs, quarterly orientation
programs, health education materials and
programs, Hepatitis Bimmunization for students
and regular staff, the measles immunization
program, and support for campus health and
mental health issues.
As a member of Evergreen's community, we
hope you and other students will use the services
for which you must pay. The Student Health and
Counseling Center is located on the ground floor
of the Seminar Building. The Health Center is
open for appointments Monday·Friday from 8:30
to 11:30 a,m, Walk·in clinic is open from 1·4 p.m.
on Monday through Thursday and 4:30·7 pm.
Tuesday. The Counseling Center offers services
from 8:30a,m. t05 p,m. on Friday. Call 866·6000
x6200 for the Health Center and x6800 for the
Counseling Center.

Ma'ndatory fee provides needed services
response
SHANNON ELLIS
DEAN OF STUDENT AND ACADEMIC SUPPORTSERVICES
A recent commentary in the Cooper Point
Journal expressed an opinion that evening/
weekend students cannot receive any benefit
from the S&A fee students are required to pay at
all state institutions in Washington. I'd like to
point out that this very student newspaper, in
which this important voice was provided a forum ,
is significantly funded by your S&A fee. Listening
to your campus community radio station, KAOS ,
is another S&A funded program which evening·
weekend students tell us they listen to as th ey
commute to and from campus. Student fees are
currently allocated to Significantly expand the
listening area.
The way you join learning community is

certainly different from other students. We fu liy
expect to see evening/weekend stu de nts use

Campus Recreation Center and Child Care Center
in other ways. Some may not choose to do this
or to participate in the wide variety of student
organizations funded by the fee. Other evening!
weekend students. however. find this a valuable
co nn ec tion to the ca mpus and Olympi a

activism, cultural events. concerts and dances all

that may be eligible for S&A fund s. She can

Ron Howa_rd really enjoys making films
that honor America's heroes. In Backdraft
(firefighters), Apollo H(astronauts), and th('
revolti ngly pro·overpopulation-of-the-planet
Parenthood (people who have no business
being parents) Howard aimed the cinemati('
spotlight at these groups that he deemed
tribut e-worthy. With his new('st proj ect
Ransom, the trophy has been handed to
middle-aged, self-made millionaire airl ine
tycoons who somehow have plenty of time to
spend playing with their children and who
turn into badasses when the aforementioned
children are kidnapped. Hmmmm. Kind ~f a
small crossection of the' population to merit
a film, don't you think, Ron?
Me l Gibson plays Tom Mu ll en,
cutthroa t businessman by day and loving
father by night, although he must forsake a
great deal of his throat-cutting because he has
a great fathe rly bond with his son Sean during
standard business hours. Rene'l\usso is Kate,
the loving wife, and she has n) particular
character, which is unfortunate because she
is a far superior performer to Gibson. They
throw impressive parties in their Central Park
West apartment where young Sean makes
ominous eye contact with a caterer so viscous
looking that she must be a kidnapper.
Occasionally the editors intercut images of the
villains preparing their apartment for the
upcoming crime, just to remind the audience
that all is not well in paradise.
When the younger Mullen is abducted
by a band of criminals that includes the
aforementioned nasty caterer (Lili Taylor), her
grouchy cop boyfriend Jimmy (Gary Sinise),
and a former New Kid On The Block (Donnie

all their demands, including not calling the
polin'. until Kate remembers that the FBI has
been investigating them for months 'arid
"they know us!" The feds enter the building
disguised as a construction crew and for a
brief moment the Mullens are really excited
because not only will they be getting their
child back;but the corner of their apartment
that is myst eriously unfinished will finally be
getting a coat of paint! It's a glorious day

Unfortunate ly, the agents are not

advice is to give the pesky kidnappers exactly
what they want, which just happens to be two
million dollars. This sounds like a bargain to
Tom, who is accustom to spending hundreds
of thousands at a time to bribe union officials
and he immediately sets out on the scavenger
hunt/ransom drop-offlhat Jimmy feels is
necessary to keep the FBI off his trail. In

actuality, the sequence is there because
screenwriter Richard Price feels he needs to
justifY his price tag by stretching this movie
to a length greater than the average "NBC
Moment ofTruth Movie." Also, Price needed
to insert the oh-so-trendy pop culture
reference by comparing the kidnapping to the
future world in H.G. Wells ' "The Time
Machine." It's the worst example of dialogue
like this since Denzel Washington put nuclear
devasta tion into perspective for a young radio
operator by using a Star Trek metaphor in
Crimson TidE.

they just want to know where Delroy Lindo
gets all those great sweaters and why the
kidnappers insist on playing irritating
industrial music constantly (composed by
rock music's biggest ego, Billy Corgan). Sure,
this film has high points, like the scene where
Donnie gets shot in the neck, but for the most
part, it's a boring, illogical waste of time. Could
any father think rationally enough to make the
decision to turn the tables on the criminals
and offer a bounty on their heads? Hell, no!
In reality, Tom Mullen would grasp for any
chance of hope he was offered and shell out
every last dime in his deep pockets to get Sean
back.
Don't waste your time with this dreck. If
you're in the mood to see someone get even
with a kidnapper. go see Geena Davis tap a keg
of whup ass in the severely underrated The
Long Kiss Goodnight. That film's gleeful'ly
violent fantasy world is more palatable than
Ransom's angstful yuppies out for vengeance
any day.

Cub mixes punk and pop
on Box of Hair
HI' Jo II

ROOT
One time, back in my home town early
high school days, a friend of mine played a
45 for me. It was by an all girl band from
Vancouver that he was obsessed with . The
lyrics went something like thi s:
Hanging out at the Motel 6,
Hanging out just for kirks.
Hanging out at the Mot el 6 with you. ..
I was hooked. The band's name was (and still
is) Cub. Lisa Marr (vocals, bass), Lisa G.
(drums, vocals) and Robynn Iwata (guitar.
vocals) have been putting out kick ass rock
(but in a friendly way) since 1992.
Now with their newest release Box of
Hair. the tradition continues. Long time
listeners will recognize' the new album as
more core thim cuddle. Cuddlecore was a
phrase that started as a joke by a friend of the
band to describe Cub's happy, poppy sound.
The inside of their first LP Betti·Cola was even
inscribed "Cuddlecore 94". However, as the
band became pigeonholed in the cutesy pop
mold. the joke wore off. People have always
told me how surprised they were at the edgy
punk sound that Cub has in concert. I never
get to see for myself. because Cub is one of
those bands that I've seemi ngly cursed to
never see live.

But if Box of Hair is an}' indication ,
they can rock with the be ~ t.
Of course, the cuddle still bubbles in
a (e lV places. Songs like "Pillow Queen. "
"Main and Broadway." (l think it's pretty
damn spooky how every town seems to
have those two streets . Ce ntralia.
Wenachee. Los Angeles. Buchan'st. they all
do), and my favorite (because I love the toy)
"Magic 8 Ball ." But "One Last Kiss," "SG ,"
"Freaky. " and the title track "Box of Hair"
show off the harder. and if you believe their
live performances. tru e side of thi s
Canadian trio.
Not expec ting th e du alit y of thi s
album. it didn't grab me as quickly as some
of their earlier stutf. But as 1 listen to the
CD more and more. I find myself singing
songs frolll it in the shower. I realize that
Box of Hair is a really good album that
shows off how good this usually
stereotyped band is.
Ifyou want to join me in breaking my
curse, Cub is playing this Saturday in
Portland (at La Luna) and Sunday in Seattle
(at the Moore TheMer). They are opening
up for They Might Be Giants (the best bmJd
in the world) both nights. Tickets are
available at Ticketmaster (628-0888) or at
the door ifthere are any left.
I

To your left is the band known as Cub. They are (from the left) Lisa
Marr, Lisa G., and Robynn Iwata. This weekend, they will be playing
with They Might Be Giants in both Portland and Seattle. Go see one
or both of these concerts if you get the chance,
