Brown University decides against guns
By OSCAR JOHNSON
As tension mounts over TESC's dilemma of whether or
not to arm its Public Safety, Brown University in Providence ,
Rhode Island has just resolved the same issue.
Similar to TESC, Brown University began to asses if it
:would be in the best interest of its campus community to arm
Its Department of Police and Security Services in 1992. At
both institutions comrriittees were formed, professionals
consulted and student forums held.
For Evergreen the final decision on arming Public Safety
will be made by the Board of Trustees on Wednesday
February, 14.
For Brown University, however, the decision not to arm
its campus police was made December IS oflast year.
I~ December of 1992 Brown University's Ad Hoc
Com~lt~ee rec.omm~nded not to arm its campus police and
to r~vlslt the Issue 10 March of 1994. Brown University
PreSident. Vartan Gregorian , postponed the 1994 deadline
foll.owing t~e commit~ee's recommendation . Gregorian
decI~ed that It would be 10 the best interest of the University's
public safety not to arm any of Brown's 21 licensed police
officers.
. C:rucial to the decision was "the widespread
unwillingness on campus to see the university commit itself
to a significant policy change in a climate of uncertainty as to
the effects on the broader community," wrote Gregorian iIi a
memo published by the News From Brown World Wide Web
site on December IS, 1995. In addition to this, Gregorian
wrote that another key factor in the outcome of the decision
was that, "one recurring theme in the views expressed on
thiS matter [was] that members of the Brown community
currently feel relatively safe on the University campus."
As with TESC's Public Safety Department, Brown
University's Security Patrolpersons Association had, on
more than one occasion, expressed serious concerns for the
safety of ~he public, as well as their own persons, in relation
to a.p~rcei~ed need to carry firearms. The University' S
adIrumstratJOn took these concerns into consideration along
wlth .a number of <;>ther factors. According to Gregorian's
published memo, 10 an attempt to make the best possible
decision his administration "gathered relevant information
from other institutions of higher learning," consulted "with
Undergraduate and Graduate student representatives and
with other student leaders, with the Faculty Executive
Commi.ttee, the Campus community/Police and Security
Committee, [and] with the Campus Minority Affairs
Committee ..."
Gregorian indicates that the decision not to arm Brown
University'S Campus Police Officers is a direct result of his
adminis~rations. dialogue with the Brown University
commumty. A dialogue that he describes as, "reasoned,
forthright, collegial and constructive."
.
.
The decision making process to arm Public Safety
has been flawed.
The process started wi th me diocre flyer s that
advertised the first forum on Nove mber 30. It built
momentum with a survey mailed out late Fall quarter. The
survey was completed by only 641 students. One hundred
twenty-five of 800 students who live on campus responded.
Most students were a little busy at the end of the quarter.
Some of them were already gone. Most of us probably forgot
over Winter Break. It was an absurd time to send out a survey.
And the survey itself was absurd.
"The biggest problem I find with the survey is that it
doesn't provide for alternatives," said Brian Coppedge. the
student representative to the Board of Trustees.
Even Vice President of Student Affairs An Costantino
said that in retrospect there are one or two questions that
would not be put on the survey again.
At the forums held thi s week stud en t s
overwhelmingly opposed arming Public Safety.
Forums were held last Tuesday, January 23, wilh
another the next day. Flyers went up one day before the first
forum .
Vice President of Student Affairs Art Costantino will
make his recommendation to President Jervis on Monday .
The only other chances that students will have to
.express their views on the Gun issue will be on Tuesday,
February 13 at a meeting with the Board of Trustees from
II to I, another from 5:30, and on Wednesday, February 14,
at the Board of Trustees meeting starting at 9:00 am, that
continues at I :30. The Board will make the final deci sion at
the Valentine's Day meeting. After that Campus Police will
either carry guns, or they won' t.
A decision that depends so heavily on·student input
should not be made so fast and sloppily,
Little investigation into alternatives
The main problem is the lack of investigation that
Costantino and McClanahan put into finding alternatives to
guns. Their excuses are meek at best. In November,
M~C1anahan said that if he had a limitless budget he would
bUild a huge fence around the campus, complete with metal
detectors, "Aesthetically pleasing , of course." Are
alternatives like this all these guys can come up with?
We , the staff of the CPl, urge Art Costantino ,
President Jervis, and the Board of Trustees to listen to the
words of faculty member lose Gomez, who said "We have
an obligation to look at alternatives." First we look at
alternatives, Gomez said, the we can debate.
Students at fault too
This decision can't be made without student inpui.
That means students have to actually give a damn about what
goes on at Evergreen.
. Two students did just that. Craig Hymmeson and
Catlin McKracken started a petition that decried the lack of
community' consensus and called for more research into
alternatives. They say they've collected over 500 signatures .
Efforts like Craig and Catlin's need to be increased.
They're holding a rally today at noon.
We need a student government to represent us
As students we can never be trul y vigilant until we
have some form of a swdent government.
"I don' t answer to anybody." Brian Coppedge said
at Tuesday's meeting. "I think it's sick, it ' s wrong." Brian
was appointed to the Board of Trustees. He said it was an
arbitrary process. He was nominated. then interviewed, then
chosen, he said. Yet he, and his alternate, AmyLyn Ribera,
are the closest things we have to representatives, and we
didn't even choose them.
We need a student government.
Without a student government. students can never
be truly represented in these cases. If we had a student
government of representatives, or better yet a direct vote
government, then students could have more control over
these decisions.
The current system is more than a little skewed.
Costantino makes a re(.vmendation to
President Jervis
who makes a recommendation to the Board of Trustees,
~tudents voices ~e listened to, but ultimately they may be
Ignored. CostantlOo can make whatever recommendation he
wants. Jervis can recommend whatever she wants. The Board
of Trustees can decide whatever they want.
It's up to us as students to organize a student
government. These decisions effect our lives. We cannot let
people, all of whom are arbitrari ly selected, to make our
decisions .

McClanahan and to The Olympian. By
arm ing so me or all th e campus secu rity
police:
1) It is very likely someone will be shot who
shouldn 't. and otherwise would n't , be shot.
If you are in terested , I ca n give you exa mples
where someone may have been shot in th e
past ifTESC security had been armed.
2) It will furth er dimin ish Evergreen bei ng a
com munity which so lves prob lems in uniqu e
ways. Rather, what are perceived as threa ts,
and mayor may not be, wi ll be "so lved"
through reliance on an armed police for ce
who will be th e "other" to a significant
number of people on this ca mpus.
3) Ila ving an armed poli ce force put s a
rhilling effect on disst nt , organized protes t,
etc. It in creases the poss ibili ty of esca lation,
eith er in a milit ant protest or in an individual
co nfrontati on. Can' t we lea rn from oth er
ca mpu ses such as Jackson State where
students were killed by armed police?
4) It wi ll make this campus less inviting and
welcoming to people of color. Th ey wou ld be
in more danger from cam pu s security than
they are now. Training is not' the answer to
this danger, th e Los Angeles pnli ce are well
trained.
5)A rming sec urit y wou ld in crease the
danger of being shot for peop le who are not
directly connected to Evergreen. pa rt icu larly
the homeless, street people, 101V incom e
people and peopl e of color. Arming ca mpus
sec urity is yet another sign that they are not
welcome here. Shame on Evergree n for
co nsidering adding to its lack of hospitali ty .
There is alrea dy enough propaganda and
repressive be havior aga in st th e poor an d
homeless. Do we wa n t tofu rt her th is
objectification by arming security?
Sheri ff Neil McClana han ill hi s recell t report
attempted to scare people abou t ev il outside
criminal s invading th e campus in order to
j us ti~' arm ing th e campus police. We ca n all
devise hypot hetical scena ri os where it would
he gnod to have the campus secu rity armed.
I Iowever, these cases are overwhelm ed by th e
negat ive impa ct arm ing th e ca mpu s police
would have on people 's liv es here.
part icul arly th ose \\' ho bear the brunt of
poli ce violence.
McClanahan'S suggestion to kee p th e police
guns concea led is even worse th an hav in g
them in th e open. Th en peop le may not
rea li ze their lives are in danger. We are also
told we need gu ns because there was a recent
assa ult on a police offi ce r an d a robbery.
Would shoot in g and maybe killin g th e
alleged atta cker- have bee n th e solution?
Wou ld it have saved the student who was
ki lled in the CAB in th e ea rly 80's? ·the
answer is no.
Fina lly, we are being given two bad choices
both of which should be rejected:
1. Either the campus police are armed; or
2. The campus police will not intervene in
situations where there is a risk of injury and
wi ll instead ca ll the Thurston County sheriffs
who will co me on ca mpu s armed and
dangerous and on ly after a big time delay.
I don't trust the Thurston County sheriffs
any more than I do th e campus police. Head
sheriff Gary Edwards likes to shoot ftrst and
ask questions later. I know WA State Labor
and Indu stries (L and I) co ncurred that the
op tions are either th e ca mpus security is
armed or no intervention by them . However,
I strongly think the answex is neither of th e
above. I wo uld like to reiterate what I said
three an d a half years ago when the 'faculty
overwhelmingly rejected arm ing the campus
st'('urity.
If the cam pus police are n't willing to help
make Evergreen a hospi tab le and safe place
wi thout guns, let th em be reass igned. or in a
few cases, where they shoul un't be employed
here, let them go.
The key to cam pu s sa fet y is making
Evergreen a campus of peop le responsible to
each oth er and looking out for each other and
taking care of each other, policing ourselves-rath er th an havi ng an armed policed-furc e_
Why cou ldn 't the main thru st for campus
safe ty be on trainin g and re lyin g on
\'olunteers for secUI it)' with a small paid staff
in vo lved in providin g non-armed training
and coord ination? The mo ney saved could
go to add itional li ghtin g, and many oth er
hig her priorities th an a 'grow ing pol ice
presence here. Non-armed community based
campus sec urity co uld be use d in all
situations that require physical intervention
but where another perso n or gro up is not
threatening to use a firearm or dead ly
weapon. On ly in that latter case, let us call the
sheriffs. In other words, the Evergreen police
should not be armed. We ca n and should
deve lop crea tive ways to deal with host il e
sitllations without resorting to armed officers.
Armed sheriffs should come on campus less
tl,an th ey do now. They wo uld on ly be askecf
to co me in if dea dly force wa s likely to b'e

Don't be railroaded into acce pting an

Student clarifies gun position
I wan t to clari fy my position on the arming of
Public Safety. It seems th e way I presented
myse lf la st month inferred I revo r arm ing
Public Safe ty . I do nol wa nt weapon s on
('amp us! I would like our communi t), to be a
~a n c tuary from weapons and violence. r kn ow
there are others who hope for th e same_ Th e
questi on I fee l we need to answer is not whether
or nor to arm our own comm unity, but
wheth er or not to have arms on campus.
There is nothing we _ca n do to stop studen ts,
faculty. staff, or visit ors frolll ca rrying weapons
(except Pub li c Safety). We as a com munity
need to defide if we ever wan t an offic er to
respond to a situati on with a firearm. If we
dec id e no. th en we should find a way to
preven t outside agencies like Thurston County
Sheri ff' s Office, or the State Patrol from
responding in our community. I af!1 not sure if
this is fea sibl e. If we decide yes. then it is my
preference to have our own community officers
respond armed.
It seems unlikely we will be able to prevent
outside forces from responding armed in ou~
community. Therefore in my mind Public
Safety should be the armed response . I know
all of the officers personally and feel
comfortable with their training and integrity.
There are people who do not feel comfortable.
I propose ftrearms be available for officers
when respond ing to a dangerous situation, but
not during ro utin e patrolling. This would not
change the cu rrent syste m of wa iti ng for armed
backup , but shorten response time and bring
the responsibility into our community.
There are times during the week when an
officer is on duty alon e making it impossible to
have our own backup_ Thurston County co uld
fund the additional hours needed. Current ly
Publi c Safety covers some off campus calls in
Coo pe r's Glen and ot her adjacent areas for
Thurston County. We can create a win-wi n
si tuation by negotiating reasonab le boun daries
for ou r respon se area. This would take some
press ure off of Thurston County to patrol and
respond in the camp us area, and provide our
Public Safety with enough funding to func tion
more safely and efficiently.
For those who are still concerned about
firearms we ca n have an oversight board of
students, staff, and faculty to review each time
a weapon is accessed. No syste m is perfect, but
I tried to use my own point of view and also
address as many other concerns as I have heard
from people all over campus. Thank ypu for
the time and space.

It's January Gust in case you hadn't

because so many of them made resolution s not
to do things they very much want to. Ca ffeine
junkies are wandering around in zombie-like
states because they limited their coffee intake,
born-again non-smokers are driving smokers
nuts extolling th e virtues'ofbreathing, and the
newly organized are shopping for yet another
daily planner (to replace the one they lost
January 3).
I've never really lik ed New Year's
Resolutions much. Firstly because I tend to see
my faults as an integral part of my personality;
[ am flawed , therefore I am, but also because I
prefer any self-im provement to happ en

plans [ make are bound to fall through ,
including those ofthe reforming nature. Better
to fool fate by simply doing something, rather'
th an to think about doing it enough to alert
those forces in the Universe that want to keep
me down .
Not making any resolutions reaves
one a lot of room to maneuver as well. This
way, I avoid the horrible trap of deciding to do
something, failing and becoming overcome by
guilt, then deciding that I'm hopeless and, as a
result, never bothering to improve my
behavior ever again. This is not an unlikely

Evergreen worker wisdom has shown
its commitment to be the driving force of
S. W.O. At a recent meeting, workers put
together a workplace by workpbce union
building plan. Before the effort was named,
the Bookstore's staff ~icked off the effort by
holding an independent potluck just before
the bookstore dress code peti lion protest took
place. New fac es are needed to kee p the
bookstore effort vital since Atlanta Powell, a

of them are tiny cameos. but most of them don't go to
waste: even Savini, whois more famous for his makeup
than for his acting. plays his charac ter to th e maximum potential.
Pe rh aps sin ce it's not entirely his baby,
Rodriguez seems to have toned down hi s style for
Dusk. He is still the master of people-walking-in-frontof-explosions. but the awe inspiring flair for action he
showed in Desperado is somewhat absent. It's closer
to the quick cut, hard to follow style of a conventio.nal
ac tion movie than the gracefu l bloodshed ba llet of his
mariachi epic, Fortunately, the mayhem is so hilariously over the top that the camera work doesn't have
to be.
The story is fu ll ofTarantino trademarks-guntoting badasses, witty dialogue. pop culture references
and pivotal trips to the bathroom. It's only when the
writer steps into horror territury that he fumbles.
Tarantino is a big horror fa n (i n fact he almost wrote
Halloween 6 before his success as a director) and his
scenes in th e vampire bar show that he has definite
potential in the genre. He tweaks a lot of cliches and
invents some wonderful situations.
Tarantino wrote the script years ago based on
an outline by FX artist Robert Kurtzman.Judging from
the finished film, ~Ke'ems like. it was one of those
dream projects that usually wo uldn 't get made. It's
easy to imagine Kurtzman com ing up with the idea
- "what if there was a serious movie about two fugi.
tives making a run for Mexico. but half way th rough
th e movie , out of absolutely nowhere, they get attacked by vampires and it turns into a horror movie?"
This hilarious idea e nd~.!lp-_b.ejn~the .downfall of
Dusk. Had it been kept a secret. it would have been a
brilliant surprise twist that would have mad e entire
audiences exclaim "What the fuck?!?" in unison. But
since vampirism is the focu s of the advertising campaign, you instead find yourseU'wondering "When are
they going to meet the vampires'!" all through th e
movie and then thinking "That was it?" once the beasts
have been dealt with .
Tarantino also packs the scenes full of gutwrenchingly hilarious jokes that in the proper context
could have made this a darkly humorous horror classic ala Evil Dead 2. But since the vampires show up
already half over,
there is not enough
.tim e for the vampires
to be taken seriously.
In one of the
film 's best scenes, the

lOlllbies. Romero's film has almost as much humor
as Dusk. but it also has Illore than two hours to develop its undead creatures as a believa~e disaster
scenario. In this serious, believable context, black
hUlllOf serves as a release without destroying the
credibility of the threat. If the characters in Dusk
went through as many plans and dealt with as many
problems as those in Dawn, the humor would have
supported the horror because you would be able to
laugh at the absurdity while still seeing rhe vampires
as a serious threat. Unfo rtunately, the horror segment of the movie seellls to zoom by too fast for this
delicate balance to work properly. With an added
20 or 30 minutes of dead serious vampire problems,
this could have been the masterpiece that the horror genre sorely needs right now,
Onthe ot he~ hand, the vampire bar delivers
what was promised with the great advertising slogan ·VAMPIRES - NO INTERVI EWS." Instead of
the sensitive, seductive Anne Rice-style vampires
that are currently en vogue, these are sleazy vampires. They operate what must be the Disneyland of
trucker bars, a ridiculously tasteless strip c1ub/biker
bar that on the outside is reminiscent ofth.e "Dante's
Infe mo' whorehouse in Beetlejuice and on the inside is more like an exotic temple crawling with
drunks and topless dancers. When the time comes
to put the gorefest in gear, a sleaze goddess named
Sa ntanico Pandemonium (De~perado's Salma
Hayek) morphs intoa snake monster and everything
goes absolutely nuts. The vampires' all show their
true colors and the victims try th~ir best to kill or be
killed. It's not your average bar room brawl, that's
for sure. Ifit were a surprise, it would be a good one.
Everything in the movie
works well in pieces, but once they've been patched
together the story becomes awkward. If you look at
the first half of the film , it is decidedly grim despite
some,very funny dialogue and a few humorous situations. The second half is humorous horror, equal
parts Evil Dead 2 and Army of Darkness. Both of
them might work on their own, but the non-stop
laughs and occasional campiness of the vampire
battle clashes with the disturbing reality of Richie's
psychotic behavior earlier in the film .
From Dusk rill Dawn is a great idea and
most of the people involved in its making are talented people giving their best, but wha't it aU comes
down to is a brilliant experiment that ultimately
fails. It's wortnchecking out if you can appreciate a
fugitive on the rtin flick Or an insanely imaginitive
gorefest comedy, even if the two don't properly
mesh. In the careers of Rodriguez and Tarantino, it
will be like Romero's The Crazies: it's no Dawn of
the Dead, but it's worth rentipg every now and
again _

The' Black male eunuch- America's obsession with Back male
sexuality since Birth of Q Nation
"Why are you blark guys always holding
your things?" - whirl.' gil)' 10 fUchard Pryor
.
''To make sure you muthafuckahs don't take
them too." - Richard pryor to wlJile guy
.
America has been obsessed with the sexual·
ity of Blacks since we fi rst set foot here. Exaggerated tales were told about the sexual practices of
the "savages" from the dark continent. This was
fine as long as the White male slave owner was the
beneficiary of those practices. But the Black man
who dared be involved with a White woman could
be sure of castration fo llowed by a lynching.
Lurid tales were told about the size of the
Black man 's organ, his insatiable desire and prolific stamina. I'm sure many White women ran
quivering (did I say quivering? I meant shivering)
10 their beds.
D. W. Griffith's' Birth of a Nation is con sidered by'many to be the first American cinematic
masterpiece. It is certainly the first film where
America's oQsession with black male sexuality was
exploited. An Old South/Civil War/ Reconstruction Era drama, The Birth ora Nation shows us the
Cameron Plantation run by the genial slave master Dr. Cameron, pn the Cameron plantation the
masters and slaves are friendly with each other. In
the fields the darkies contentedly pick cotton, while
young black pickaninnies dance and perform for
the white master's favor. It's all good.
Then the war breaks out. All the south is
transformed. Ca rpetbaggers and uppity niggers
from the North come-unleashing the cruelty and
hedoni sm "innate" to the Negro. Matters reach il
climax when the randy black buck Gus (played by
a White actor in greasepaint) comes upon the innocentyoung Cameron daughter. She flees with old
Gus in hot pursuit. Gus corners her and rather than
submit the "Pet Sister" -(her movie name, I swear)
she throws herself off a cliff.
Well, enough wa s enough. Soon after a
group of courageous White males show up (wearing sheets and hoods) and have a victorious confrontation with the Blacks. Defenders of white
honor, white glory, and (most importantly) white
womanhood, they restore white supremacy to th e
old south . Thus we have "the birth of a nation."
D.W. Griffith tapped into America's deep fear of
Black male sexuality and rode it to the highest
grossing film of its time. .
The Birth ora Nation was released in 1915,
But the curiosity/fea r surrounding Black male
sexuality continues on. The media has become
mudl more sophisticated in its techniques. Instead of castration and lynching we get emasculation and character assassination. Hyperbole? I
think not.
In the 90's Black men have b,ecome the living symbols of sex crimes despite dubious evidence the crimes were actually committed. Their
names? Clarence Thomas, Mike Tyson, Michael '
Jackson and 0.). Simpson.
'
Clarence Thomas- sexua1 harassment
Clarence Thomas, the handkerchief head,
hand·picked Uncle Tom found uut he was still
Black real quick once Anita Hill's accusations surfaced . Despite no concrete evidence 01' Clarence
found himselfslipping in the polls each day until
he stood up, trembling with righteous indignation and denounced the me9ia for subjecting him.
to a "high tech lynching."' The powerful sound
bite forced the media to back off and Clarence
got his judgeship. He promptly developed amnesia concerning his blackness and has been' busily
destroying civil rights gains ever sin ce, but that's
another story.
Mike Tyson-rape
Mike Tyson, former heavyweight champion of the worl<hlSwe'eping aside foes with skill
and ange r and seeming to relish his opponents'
destruction. Standing in the ring, black trunks,
black shoes, Black man terrific, terrible terrifying. What happened the night he took Desiree
WaShington to his hotel room? She said rape. He
said consensual sex. They had been seen earlier
that night kissing and hugging. There was no
physiral evidence she had been forced. Her word
against his. Mike got six years. There was a similar case ea rlier th at yea r in vo lving John F.
Kennedy, Jr. He was found innocent by a jury of
his peers.
Michael Jackson - pedophilia
Electrifying pe'rformer. Sings. Dances. The
genius of a talented family. Somewhere along the
way the child star was also an abused child. Traumatized teenager. Neurotit adult. Ever whiten-.
ing skin, surgery, substance abuse. Then the al-'
legation. Houses ransacked. Strip search ed and
photographed by the Santa Barbara police. Finally the payoff. Some people think he did, some
people think he didn't. Ifsomeone molested your
child would any amount of money buy your siIe nee? I don't think so.
O.J. Simpson-domesticvioimce
The All American African-American. The
Juice had it all. Fame. Fortune. But there were
obviou sly problems underneath . He abused
women. (Although not too many tears were shed
for Marguerite, his first wife. I1is Black wife.) 0.).
Simpson was guilty of domestic violence, Butthe
last incident took place in 1989. Being guilty of
domestic violence doesn't make one guilty 1lf
murder. Twice. After the trial of the cen tury
America was not satisfied when O.}. was found
innocent by a jury of his peers. This time a mistake had been made. Many people believe 0 .). is
guilty and want him to pay. Even more. More
than the blows his life has already taken. America
wants a pound of flesh. And we know which
pound I'm talking about.
Four men. All Black Americans. All came
from poverty and managedlo climb out in various ways to be successful. All walking symbols
of sexual dysfunction. Symbois of America's obsession with emasculating Black men.
