Earth Day 1995:
Business as Usual?

Environmentalists may not have much to celebrate

businesses are preparing to roU back years of regulations

My nemesis is a delightful man, all tense
and wound tight tight like the threads
that hold the world together. He leans
slightly against the wall: relaxation,
such as it is, and I ask him for his
opinions, . this predator of mine. He lifts
his coffee before speaking, brushes a bit
of lint from his coat. Black coffee, khaki
coat. I know the straight-line tracks this
man walks, dog-cat like, this hunter. He
speaks rapidly words blighted with anger
and fear. He explains his distrust, his
hunt and his hunger. He does not know yetwill he ever?-that I am the one he hunts,
the one he fears, the one who fears him.
This man is prone to dangerous
assumptions, and for the moment I enjoy
that. So I buy him coffee, I pick up hi!;
tabs, ask his opinions, and I do it with
delicious terror, knowing that I am
skating the edge, knowing that I ache for
the run. The desire is in my blood. It is
written invisibly into every cell in my
body. Joy and terror, terror and joy: the
two sides of the leaf, held together by
mystery, The bright sap of life pounding
beneath the surface. And this thin cliff's
edge is beautiful; there's such a view
from here.
On Monday, Washington State U.S. Representative
Linda Smith hosted a public hearing on the Endangered
Species Act in Vancouver. The Hearing, held in Smith's
third congressional district, promised to allow aU sides
to express their thoughts on the Act. But of 22 people
who were invited, only five were friends of endangered
species and most were logging and other business
interests.
All the Representatives on the task force were
Republicans. Smith is a member of the House Resources
Committee's Endangered Species Act Task Force which
will be looking at ways to change the act.
Environmentalists are calling the hearLngS,3 sham.
Brian Vincent from the Greater Ecosystem Alliance was
one of the five invited pro-Endangered Species Act
speakers at the hearing.
"The thing is rigged ... " he said, "It is an
orchestrated event to give business interests a stage to
attack the ESA (Endangered Species Act]."
Smith 's aide said that Democrats on the
Congressional task force boycotted the hearings because
they did not feel included in the process.
Vincent said that Smith would also not give him
the names of the people who would be speaking against
the ESA. He said not knowing who the other speakers
were made it difficult to do research.
Last week, the CP] tried to get the list of names
from Smith. An assistant at Smith's Lacey office said she
would fax the names of the people testifying, but the fax
never arrived.
Vincent also said that at the other hearings
environmentalists were booed and heckled by "wise use"
supporters in the audience.
· Wise use" supporters are people who believe that
environmental regulations should be rolled back to free
up businesses to increase profits.
At this point, Smith has not told the public what
she wants to do to the Endangered Species Act, but
proposals are expected to be made soon after Congress
goes back into session next week.
When asked what Smith says to criticism that she
has supported the interests of corporations over the
interests of the environment, Judy Nix, Smith's Lacey
office manager said, ·well, I guess you can just go and
look at the records."
According Smith's campaign records, she accepted
large contributions from developers, realtors, and
logging companies including Weyerhaeuser and
Simpson Timber. She also accepted money from Exxon,
McDonaids and other international corporations and banks.

Jonathan Knapp, an Evergreen graduate and relief
worker, was delivering medical supplies to war-torn
Bosnia-Herzegovina when he was taken hostage by
Serbian troops just outside of Sarajevo. According to
Knapp's family, he and four French relief workers will
go on trial Thursday, April 27 for the misuse ofinternational symbols.
His former Evergreen professor David Marr said
that Knapp was driving for the humanitarian group,
Pharmacies Without Borders,
to deliver medical supplies to
Bosnia. On March 4, he and
and fOUI French drivers made
a wrong turn from the U.N.

and accidently crossed into
Serbian-controlled territory.
Knapp is being held at Kula
prison in Lucavica, a suburb of
Sarajevo, said Marr.
Knapp
The April 8 Oregonian
stated that Knapp is the first
American to be captured by Serbs since the start of the
Bosnian war, three years ago.
"We've not been anxious to get this into international news,' said his father, Charles Knapp. Jonathan
Knapp is worried that it would increase his standing as
a bargaining tool. Knapp said. Serb Leader Radovan
Karadzic has decided that the relief workers should be
charged with the misuse of international symbols, said
Knapp's sister Kristen Knapp yesterday. It is a charge
which Charles Knapp considers vague.
Allegedly, Knapp and his French colleagues used
United Nations symbols on their trucks. Since Pharmacies Without Borders is not affiliated with the U.N., this
is a breach of international law. But KriMen Knapp said
the charges are unfounded. Pharmacies Wi~hout Borders have their own symbols on their trucks, she said.
In the AprilS Oregonian, Knapp said that he had
done nothing wrong. He maintained that his group was
trying to help both sides of the war.
According to Amnesty International, Knapp's human rights lawyers are both very highly skilled. The two
lawyers, Rikola Donnavic and Milan Vukovic, are from
the Serbian firm Mikijelj Jankovic.
Knapp's father is frustrated about negotiations between the U.S. and Serbs over his son. According to U.S.
News and World Report, the Serbians will only communicate with negotiators via formal diplomatic notes.
However, Washington refuses to communicate this way
because it reserves this form ofcommunication only for
legitimate, internatially recognized states. Serbian held
Bosnia-Herzegovina is not one of those states.
KristenKnapp recently received a letter from her
brother, dated April!7.
"He's kind of chatty," she said. In the letter he said
he was being well-fed and treated fairly. She said his
attitude is cheerful.
"It's no fun being cooped up for 50 days,H s aid
Knapp's father, "He'll figure out some way to make it
interesting. HHe said Knapp has a Bosnian dictionary
and is trying to learn the language.
Before doing humanitarian work in BosniaHerzegovina, Jonathan Knapp was a student at Evergreen. Faculty David Marr said Knapp left Evergreen in
the mid-80's to study at the University Aix en Provence
fn France. Later he returned to Evergreen in 1987 where
he studied humanities and volunteered at the Cooper
Point Joumal, said Marr. He graduated in 1985.
Though his parents aren't sure his letters are getting through to him, his mother Rita said "he'll be very
happy to hear from people at Evergreen.'
She said letters can be sent to: Jonathan Knapp,

Proposed Curriculum Changes
You've seen the flyers pasted on the poles at the
access to campus: What do we do with core? What about
the catalog and student advising?
Do things like this ever change at Evergreen?
If the draft proposal submitted to students, faculty,
and staff by the Long-Range Curriculum Disappearing
Task Force (LRCDTF) is accepted as proposed, Ad
d
they will.
vance
On Wed. and Thurs. April 26 and 27,
separate retreats for students and faculty are scheduled
for discussion of the contents of the 17 page document.
The Spring Faculty Retreat is taking place Wed. April 26
from noon to 5 pm and Thursday 8:30 am to
5 pm in CAB 108 and llO. The student Forum Intermediate
for discussion of the draft takes place Th ursday
10 am to noon and 1:30 pm to 4 pm in COM 107.
The draft contains proposals for substantially
fundamental changes to the educational choices the school
provides to students and the ways they are provided.
Adoption of these changes would necessarily include
fundamental shifts in the expectations for staff and faculty.
According to the chair of the task force Jeanne Hahn.
the most significant issue for students will be the question
of choice. The draft proposes structural changes, such as the
elimination of the traditional Core Program now taken by
first-year students and instead, First-Year Learning
Communities. Two-quarter programs would be encouraged,
with more diverse offerings in the spring where students could
integrate and develop their growth.
In order to enable new and experienced students to
navigate the greater scope of choices, the draft calls for and
enumerates a renovation of the advising process. Specific
strategies include breaking down the academic fair to serve the
distinct purposes of advising and registration, and a more
accurate depiction of the curricular structure in the catalog. The
structure also calls for an Academic Plan and a summative
graduation evaluation from each student.
Changes in the curricular structure may likely carry the
most significant implications for staffand faculty. The draft calls
for the creation offour distinct academic djvisions at the college,
titled Humanities, Arts, Social Sciences, and Natural Sciences.
Each faculty member would be responsible for affiliation with
one ofthe divisions. The divisions would in turn be responsible
for curriculum development, meeting speCific planning and
staffing needs such as the first-year learning communities and
interdivisional programs, and developing mechanisms for
Student Association.

Concern has b~en expressed that the implementation of
divisions will be the first step loward a traditional departmental
college structure. The draft states that "All of us want to avoid
establishing a structu re that b~in gs the worst features of
departments to Evergreen. We will have to be especially
careful... that cross-divisional affiliations are acknowledged and
strengthened."
The DTF was given its charge by college president Jane
Jervi s, to whom the results will be given. Hahn emphasizes that
the document being discussed this week is a draft; what comes
out of the retreat and the forum will have significant impact on
the direction the DTF takes and how the final product looks.
While she expects a diverse range of opinions, her own is that
"it's comprehensive. It sets out a clear structu re and
expectations." Sre added that the draft is the product of a long
process of compromise between differing perspectives 011 the
DTF.
Much of the DTF's work will center around incorporating
the concerns rajsed at this week's relreat and forum. They hope
to have a final document prepared by the end of Spring quarter.

Students rescue climber 'on Mt. Hood
by Reynor Padilla
CPJ Contributor
The sky was pitch black at 2:30 am Sunday. Aman named
Richard and his son were climbing on the easl'side of the trail
on Mt. Hood. Richard had turned his lamp off to save batteries
when he fell into a 4U foot crevasse.
Luckily a solo climber from Portland came upon Richard's
teenage son. He assessed the situation, and went for help.
The Portland man found eight climbers from Evergreen
hiking at 10,000 feet. Their only goal had been to reach the
summit. They had no idea that they would save a man's life
before the sun rose.
Led by Evergreen Outdoor Coordinator Pete Steil berg,
and Assistant Guide and Desert Storm Veteran Bryan Bright
the Evergreen climbers set out to rescue Richard, who was.
according to Steil berg, ".. .cheerful, trying to free his legs from
the ice."
The party of climbers set up a system called Bilgiri.
Students Scott Brinton, Wayne Mostad and Ann Turner were
instrumental in rescuing Richard. Stacey Johnson, a University
of Washington student, and a high schoolfriend of Mostad's
also helped in the rescue. It took about 11/2 hours to save the
man from the crevasse.
Richard was uninjured was soon reun ited with his son.
They were able to descend 10 Timberline Lodge without
additional help.
"
"We were the only large party in the immediate area."
commented Steilberg, "Had we not been Ih ere the ending for
the story may have been a sadder one." •
CAB may soon be locked at night
The CAB tenants association sponsored two forums this
week to discuss the possibility of closing the CAB during the
hours between midnight and 6 am.
The tenants printed 1600 flyers to announce the forums.
They distributed flyers around campus and in every housing
residents mailbox. The flyers were two sided, containing the
. tenant's reasons for the pOSSible closure.
Vandalism, property damage and personal safety are the
tenants top reasons for the closure.
"I'm concerned with the safety and welfare of the staff,"
said Student Activities Director Tom Mercado, who facilitated
the meeting.
The CAB tenants are made up of KAOS, the CPJ.
Conference Services, Student Aclivities, the Bookstore,
Northwest Food Service and Facilities.
The tenants got a return of eight students for their 1600
flyers. These eight students are representing you and your
opinions about the CAB closure.
Mercado scheduled another forum for next Tuesday, May
2, 1995 at noon in CAB 315 - the Student Activities
conference room on the third floor. This is your last chance to
discuss the closure of the CAB. Don't let eight students and six
paid professionals decide the future of your space. _

State rescinds health care reform
by Derek Birnie
Analysis
CPJ COlltributor
Decisions on the funding of and the scope
and' ievel of services provided by the Health
Center at Evergreen will take place in a very
different context as of next week. Gov. Mike
Lowry is expected by health care reform advocates and opponents to sign into law a package of overhauls to the health care reform bill
that put Washington ahead of the nation in the
movement for health care reform.
EHSB 1046, SB 5386 and HB 1589, have
been working their way through the legislature
this session. Each contains measures which will
drastically alter and weaken the moves by the
earlier legislature to control the cost of health
care and guarantee access to all citizens.
The original act, the Washington Health
Services Act of 1993, was one ofthe first in the
nation of its sort_ Essentially, it established a
timeline of about five years and a process by
which every resident of the state would eventually be guaranteed health care. It created the
Washington Health Services Commission to
facilitate ongoing decisions regarding the system, to oversee its
implementation, and
to act as a sort of
watchdog to guard
against abuse by either its users or its
providers such as the
insurance, medical or
pharmaceutical industries.
The act called
for an employer-based
health care system,
meaning most people
would get coverage through their employers,
although programs like the already existing
Basic Health Plan would be utilized to assist in
covering all contingencies, such as those who
are self-employed. It established a cap on insurance premiums, to ensure price stability to
consumers. It also called for the creation of a
minimum benefits package, to ensure that the
insurance that people and their employers purchased would actually perform in the ways they
needed it to. The sam e effort was able to protect people with pre-existing conditions from
being turned down for insurance.
Although the act was hailed as a shining
example of compromise between reformers
and industry power-brokers, and used as a
blue-print for the Clinton administration 's proposal for national health care reform, it was far
from having universal support in the state.
Many on the left criticized the final package as having compromised too much, having
sacrificed it's most effective features in order
to win political viability. There was a large constitu ency which remained committed to a
PAGE

Single-Payer system like Canada 's (where everyone gets coverage through one regional insurer -often the state) as the only way to truly
control the costs and guarantee universal coverage. Some populations , such as migrant
farm workers, were actually excluded from the
original system, and had
to wage additional
battles just to gain inclusion in the system.
Simultaneously ,
the act received stiffcriticism from business and
health care industry
forces. Speaking of the
work to change the act, Rep. Phil Dyer,.chair of
the House Health Care Committee and primary sponsor of EHSB 1046 said, "From the
beginning of the session House Republicans
and several Democrats have strongly opposed
the creation of a health care system in which
government sets
prices, dictates what
kind of health care
coverage people receive and restricts
their choice of doctors." Dyer makes his
living working in the
insurance industry.
With the shift in
legislative priorities
evident in this year's
legislature, many of
these complaints are
finding voice in legislation. EHSB 1046 is at the
forefront of these efforts. The bill repeals the
mandate on employers to provide coverage_ It
eliminates the Uniform Benefits Package which
guaranteed that all insurance packages would
meet basic standards for coverage and replaces
it with a "model benefit plan to be offered by
insurance providers to provide a benchmark
for cost comparison by consumers," according
to a release by the House Republican Media
Services. Additionally, it replaces the Health
Services Commission with ian oversight committee
to study ways to
address nsmg
costs and other
health care concerns, but without
policy-making or
rule-setting authority.
According to David West,
Executive Director of Washington Citizen Action, the bill seriously curtails the most significant elements of the Health Services Act. With
the passage of this bill, there will no longer be
a cap on the amount an insurance company
can charge for premiums and additional .
charges. The idea of a uniform minimum ben:-oefits package has also been trashed. Most students will still get their coverage through thefr .
employers, but there will be no way to ensure
that the employer is not buying an ineffective
package in order to save money. He said the
new bills do not threaten the elimination of the
pre-existing condition exclusion, but there is
now no way to ensure that people who have
pre-existing conditions are able to get coverage at an affordable rate, so that piece has experienced a defecate elimination.
The primary bill, EHSB 1046, is being
treated as part of a package including SB 5386
and HB 1589. SB 5386 increases the scope of
the Basic Health Plan (BHP). The BHP was cre-

Old Growth Loophole
Washington's Republican u.s. Sena- .
tor Slade Gorton is sponsoring a bill that
would allow timber companies to log diseased or dead trees that nonnally would ·
be off limits' because of environmental
ndes. ·
. The .bill, commonly known as the
Usalvage rider~ because it is part ofa larger
package known as the recessions bill, is sittingon dinton's desk waiting for his signature.
Vincent said the salvage rider is so
broad it could allow logging and road
building in old growth forests, a threatened ecosystem, home of the spotted owl.
Vincent says that Clinton hasn't
shown any commitment to endangered
species preservation and may sign the bill
into law.
Initiative 164
..""'. JJijtiative 164 requires the governm-:nt to PilY logging companies ifenvironmental rules cut into the profit they ex,pected to earn.
The initiative was passed by the State
Legislature last week and will go into effect this'June. According to records at the
Public Disclosure Commission, abo'ut 90
percent of the initiative's money came
from logging companies, realtors, and developers.
The campaign collected enough sig·
natures to force the legislature to consider
it, although the Secretary of State found
forged signatures on the petitions.
David Wox:kman of the Washington
State .~partment of Natural Resources
said that Initiative 164 uwill have"a signifi'cant effect on o.ur ability to regulate logging....
The Department of Natural ResoUrces issues permits for logging in Washington State and manages logging in u opr
for~": 12 million acre$ ofland all to- .

state. In order to carry out current laws
Workman guesses it would cost hundreds
of millions of dollars. '
H64 will be expensive because if the
state enforces current environmental
rules, it will have to pay corporations and
land owners not to do business, otherwise,
the state may be sued. However, ifthe state
stops enforcing environmental rules, or
. removes them all together, the state may
be sued by citizens, the federal govern·
ment and local governments.
[f opponents of 1-164 including the
League of Women Voters can gather
90,000 signatures by June, the initiative
will go on the ballot next November. Oth·
erwise, a court battle is expected. cD

CP J distorts facts in focus articles
A recent "Focus on Health" issue of the Cooper Point
Journal raised criticisms regarding the Student Health and
Counseling Center and its Director, David Schoen, in particular.
As supervisor of this area I am writing to assure members of
this community that David and his Health Center colleagues
follow standard medical procedures which result in the quality
care of students and a healthy college campus.
From my own observations and from the feedback we
receive, several po~itive developments have occurred at the
Health Center since David Schoen jOined as Director in 1992.
The numbers of students using the Health Center grows every
year and thousands of students see David by choice and by dropin. David's 12 years of medical experience as a physician's
assistant has given him a valuable knowledge in delivering high
quality care to a diverse student population. It is my opinion
and that of his supervisory physician Patricia Sylwester, M.D.
that David consistently complies with current and appropriate
medical protocol and that he continues to be committed La
educating patients on serious issues impacting college students
today. This includes, but is not limited to, HIV, STDs and
depression. One of David's most notable accomplishments has
been to bring a strong student-centered philosophy to the
treatment of patients. For this reason we have been and remain
open to talking with students about their treatment at the
Health Center.
We believe that if some students perceive that David's style
is not helpful, then those perceptions need to be addressed. The
Center's challenge in dealing with some perceptions is to
translate them into particular behaviors they can implement
to improve services. Whatever the problems have been. David
sought to understand them and to make changes in the best
interest ofa student's comfort level. Acritical factor in delivering
services to students at the Health Center is maintaining
confidentiality with regard to their treatment. One article in
the "Focus" issue seems to indicate by the way it is written that
the Center treated a female student for an STD and that David
shared information about this student's case with the reporter.
This did not happen and it is unfortunate that in developing
the article the reporter made it seem this had occurred. In
addition, the reporter has since acknowledged to David Schoen
that he was aware of the fact that the Health Center never saw
the female student for an sn:i problem.
While David and the Health Center receive much positive
feedback from students, they also take the concerns of students
quite seriously and will continue to do so while providing
excellent care in a medically professional manner. I am
confident in David's profeSSional skills and leadership on
campus in promoting excellent health care to Evergreen
students.

u.s. Senate OKs environmental scam
ERCmembers
On Thursday, April 6, the U.S. Senate passed th.eir version
of the Appropriation 's Rescission BiU "emergency" salvage rider
which mandates billion's of additional board feet of salvage
timber sales on public lands. For this reason the U.S. Forest
Service and Bureau of Land Management are openly opposed
to this rider. In addition to the "salvaging", this rider would
make such sales immune to legal challenges from existing
environmental protection laws, and rob citizens of their
constitutional rights of appeal and court review. It is a scam
which would force the logging ofold-growth forests, all of which
would jeopardize endangered species such as Pacific Salmon.
To add insult to injury, taxpayers will be forced to
subsidize these timber sales, costing us an estimated $375
million per year! This money could be used in the Jobs for the
Environment program, giving needed jobs to dislocated timber
workers doing watershed restoration. The bill stipulates
massive welfare cuts in the interest of saving tax payers money.
However the rider will cost taxpayers more than the cuts will

Gene Goldsmith has neither the wit nor
the experience to micro-mana1le the state
university system. But he has succeeded in
making us taxpayers aware of what we are
paying for: We are paying for Goldsmith and
his cronies to creep around Evergreen at night,
sniffing dorm rooms and spying on students,
to catch them kissing and watching The
Simpsons on television; we are paying for him
to copy and distribute a WWU publication
which he finds offensive.
Goldsmith will claim his investigations
have cost the taxpayers nothing. Wrong! He is
wasting our Representatives' time - an
irreplaceable asset - when they have urgent
issues to address.
Evergreen was recently named the top
regional liberal arts college in the West, and
Goldsmith wants to change it. Senseless.
Many people who voted for him as a
conservative Representative are now
embarrassed by his misbehavior. In the most
recent incident, Speaker of the House Ballard
took Goldsmith to task for breaking House
rules in distributing the WWU material.
Goldsmith is dangerous because he
himself ignores the rules in his fanatical need
to point the finger at others. Society constantly
struggles to protect itself from those who
believe theY-lOan ignore the rules because they
are "right." The dustbin of history is full of
forgotten extremists and demagogues; the
dustbin is where Goldsmith is headed, though
a lot of OUR time and money will be wasted in
the process. We need someone capable of
analyzing and managing complex and
important legislative, social and economic
issues.

Health Center Director
. r~sponds to CPJ articles
by David Schoen
Health Center Director
I would like to respond to some of the
criticism in two of the articles in the April 20
edition of the CPJregarding the Health Center.
I will not mention patient names andwill only
respond to the individual cases in a way which
protects patient confidentiality.
The sexually transmitted disease risk as·
sessment questionnaire is entirely optional and
is so stated at the top of that document. Stu·
dents also read and sign an exam consent
where it states that it is the students' obligation to inform the prac.
titioner either before or
during the exam if they
are uncomfortable
about any aspect of the
examination procedure. The latter form
has been in use since
October 1994. One of
the three women mentioned in Carson
Strege-Flora's article
had never been to the
Health Center for STO
evaluation and treatment as strongly suggested by that article, a
fact that was known to the writer before publication in the CPj.
The metal speculums in the Health
Center are not cold as mentioned in the article.
They are warmed on a heating pad. The
stirrups are covered with insulated pot holders.
At the Health Center, we do everything
possible to make a patient's visit as
comfortable as poss!ble. A woman's annual
exam starts with an interview by the
practitioner where we discuss the patient's
medical history. The patient is fully clothed at
this time. We focus on matters related to
reproductive health including risk factors for
sexually transmitted diseases. We also look at
general health and other risk factors such as
smoking, diet, exercise pat1erns, use of bicycle
helmets, alcohol and other drug use. We want
to get a total picture of the patient's health
habits. it allows us to focus on areas of concern
during the exam. After the exam has been
completed and the patient is dressed, we use
all the gathered information to give the patient
an appraisal of their current state of wellness.
The discussion of STDs and safer sex
techniques is strongly recommended by the
Center for Disease Control in Atlanta. Medical
practitioners are obligated to help the patient
reduce health risks. When it comes to sex, an
individual's risk and the sexual behaviors in
which they participate can directly affect the
health of the sexual partner. This makes the
discussion ofSTDs a public health issue.
When we encourage someone to practice
safer sex we do so because we know it will
reduce the risk of transmitting STOs to them
and their sexual partners. Is this judgment? It
would depend on how it is worded to the
patient and/or how the patient interprets this
infonnation. The statement "It is important to
use condoms to reduce risk" is different than
"You must use condoms to reduce risk." The
first statement is factual and the second, while
still being factual, personalizes the interaction
and perhaps becomes judgmental. It is my
obligation to discuss the facts and discuss ways
to reduce risks. It is never our intention to
appear to be judgmental.
The facts regarding STDs are frightening.
Studies show that most students know about
safer sex but only 25 percent of Evergreen
students use condoms every time they have sex.
Each quarter we treat about 100 students with
STD related diagnoses. Based on studies which
suggest a high percentage of asymptomatic
patients, we know we are not reaching as many
infected students as we should. There is
nothing more difficult for me as when I inform
someone that they have an STD diagnosis, a
diagnosiS that might have been avoided.
As previously stated, STDs on a college
campus are a big problem. According to a research study at Stanford, 46 percent of the college women tested for
STDs were positive for
the human papilloma
virus (HPV). In another
study (not college reo
lated) HPV was recovered from genital tissue
samples in 65 percent of
men. HPV is known to
cause genital warts and
leads to cancer of the
cervix in women and
cancer of the penis in
men. Studies estimate
between 70 percent and
90 percent of those people with HPV have no
clinically evident signs or symptoms of the disease. Unless you are at a research site. there is
no way to test for HPV with the exception of
those who have obvious clinical manifestations. HPV,like many other STOs, can be contagious whether or not you have symptoms. It
could show up six weeks after exposure to 20
years after exposure or perhaps never. HPV is
sometimes detectable in PAP smears. That is
one reason why the medical profession encour·
ages yearly annual exams for women. And for
these reasons it is so important to discuss STDs
with pati~nts as part of the exam process.
Collaboration is an important aspect of
learning in medicine. The practitioners at the
Heaitrr-center meet once a week to examine
. medical care issues. In addition to discussing
profe~ional journal articles. speCific disease
processes, and less routine medical cases, we
discuss ways to benefit patient careat the clinic.
Student concerns are taken seriously but are
not the only source of ideas for improvement.
The Health Center practitioners also draw
upon their combined health care experience in
these discussions. We make every effort to be
student·centered in our approach but we also
follow standards of practice in the community.
Presumptive treatment is standard
medical practice. It is not hasty medicine as
implied by the headline in the Douglas Smith
article. When we treat presumptively for STOs.
we are looking to preserve fertility and we are
trying to resolve a medical problem as soon as
possible. The symptoms which lead us to
presumptive diagnosis and treatment of
chlamydia are very clear. Proper lab tests would
be ordered if there was any doubt. All
practitioners in the Health Center follow
proper and accepted community medical
standards when they treat students at TESe.
Sexual issues are very uncomfortable
topics for most people. This is unfortunate. If
people could communicate about sex, learn
what they might do to decrease their risks, and
put that knowledge to use, there would be
fewer sexual problems and a healthier
population .

Oklahoma City bombing shows anti-Arab sentiment
by Rahul Gupta
Co-coordinator Evergreell Middle Eas( Resollrce Celller
Alarmingly there is little to no concern rising in the American publir about the directions and avenues the U.S. government is taking this nation. Before I am misinterpreted as being
callous and evil (godless?) let me make it clear that neither the
action of blowing up children or unwarned adults is my idea of
terrorism, and not effective resistance.
Viewpoint and Analysis
As more reports filtered over the airwaves and presses,
the American viewer became calculably dumber. Right after the
beginning of this catastrophe certain key q,uotes from the
president's staff, and onlookers were never again engaged by
the press or the viewers. One press secretary was on television
saying that. and keep in mind ten second soundbytes I!'av!' little
for exact quotes, the White House suspected the bombing as
being in "retaliation" for certain developments in the Middle
East. These new developments he continued were classified, so
ifby the rarest chance Middle Easterners had carried out the
bombing, which they did not , but if they had carried it out, the
people could not know why. The failure of media to investigate
that bit of enlightenment is more indicative of the state in which
Americans continue; peripherally blind.
Onlookers who were neither detonations experts or qualified specialists of any sort were on the air spouting rhetoric
about, "Yeah, judging from the style of explOSion, and tactics
used, the range of suspects gets narrowed down to several ter·
rorist organizations in the Middle East." ( Done in the best red·
neck voice possible.)
Let me stress the word "narrow."
People accept the glossing over of such information without a second glance. And as for the genius and his suspects;
they were white pal.
Another key point overshadowed by melodrama CNN
style is the fact that anti-Arab sentiment is not a come-and·go
mentality. Racism is more rooted in the system itself than the
press wishes to admit. Going back four
years, Gulf War opinion was primed by
the U.S. government. American yellowribbon patriotism was fueled by this
anti-Arab, xenophobic, hatred. A key
factor in which we, as supposedly conscientious Americans, humanitarian
Americans, whether the opposition to
the war happened or not, failed to address during the conflict or after.
A priming of the American people
has just occurred, a fact few if any wish
to recognize. Just as the invasion of
Grenada was a test to see if the Vietnam
Syndrome had finally died out, this
pumped up simultaneous suspicion of
Arab Americans was a test on us to
make sure "we·' as a whole still hated
"them." Unwarranted attacks on Arab

will work to rectify thaL A related benefit to requiring parking
fees during extended daily hours and during the summer quarter
will be the concurrent presence of enforcement personnel in
the parking areas. This will work to enhance personal and
property safety.
Increase of Parking Permit Fees
.__.
The college propo~ to increase paid parking fees for
cars and motorcycles as follows:
Background
Because the State does not provide funds for the
operation, repair, expansion or maintenance of parking
facilities, the parking ope ration must be financially sdf·
supporting. Funds generated are expended for those purposes
as well as provide enforcementof parking regulations, and to
provide staffing for the parking/information booth. Revenues
art' generated from sales of annual, quarterly and daily permits
as well as fines from parking infractions. Parking rates were
established in 1984. A recommendation to increase parking
fees in 1987 was not approved. A DTF (d isappearing task
force) was charged in February 1991 to examine existing
parking rt>gulations, the option of expanded paid parking
periods, special permits, and a parking management model
encompassing enforcement and collection. The March 1992
DTF report and accompanying recommendations are
available at the parking office, Sem inar 2150.
TIre follvwU'{j are proposed chm'{jes
to existing parking regulations:
Hours of Operation
The College proposes to change mandatory paid
parking from the existing hours of 7:00 AM·5:00 PM to 7:00
AM to 9:00 PM. Days that parking fees must be paid, Monday
through Friday, will remain the same. The proposal also
includes extending mandatory paid parking throughout the
calendar year. Summer Academic Quarter which is presently
e7I:cluded fTom paid parking requirements would be included
as a period of required paid parking under the new proposal.
The purpose of both expanding hours into the
evening and requiring parking fees in the swnmer addresses
the equity issue of parking facility usage. Questions have
arisen over the fairness of not charging the evening and
summer users of the parking lots as we do daytime users

The current annual parking permit fee of $54 was

sufficient to manage necessary expenses. It is essential that
sufficient funding be provided to prevent deterioration of the
lots and produce income needed for lot restoration, per statutory
requiremenL Funding for parking lot repair and expansion must
come solely from revenue that is generated by parking fees. Other
funds such as capital or state general funds are not allowed to be
used for parking lot repairs or construction.
Special Event Parking Fees
The college proposes to implement a provision allowing
the collection of parking fees for special events. This proviso
would allow the college to charge for parking of vehicles on
campus during special events, and at times and on days that may
fall outside of normal paid parking hours. The college proposes
to charge a $1.00 fee for such special event parking.

CPJ writer clears up miscommunication
by Douglas Smith
CPJ StaJfwriter
In the interest of precise, definitive journalism, I wish to
clear up some issues regarding my article in CPJ April 20, 1995,
issue 22 ("Hasty Treatment Concerns Some"). .
First, the Health Center pointed out that the CP]s headline
for the article is misleading and does not reflect the content of
the article because "Hasty" implies that presumptive treatment
is innacurate or not thought out; whereas presumptive
treatment is common medical practice (which is stated in the
article). I agree. The headline should have read, "Presumptive
Treatment Concerns Some."
Secondly, I wish to address the fifth paragraph which
states, "Schoen said the reason Macekwas treated without being
tested is because test results are not always accurate, saying that
ten to 20 percent of chlamydia tests are falsely negative." The
•
Separating Enforcement and Operating Costs
The proposed regulations also include a strategy to
separate the costs associated with parking facility repairs,
maintenance, expansion and usual administrative costs, with
those expenditures connected with enforcement activities. The
goal is to create a situation under which the cost of enforcement
is not shared by those who observe parking regulations but is
borne by those who cause enforcement actions. The proposal
to increase parking fmes is an important part of this approach.

ated several years ago as an experimental
program to assist low-income people in
obtaining health coverage. Using state
subsidies, it grants insurance packages to
individuals and families and establishes their
premiums on a sliding scale according to their
income. This bill increases the enrollment from
around 80,000 to 200,000 people, about a third
of the uninsured in the state. This bill has also
passed both houses and awaits the governor's
signature. SB 5386 is called the Quality
Assurance Bill, and attempts to fulfill some of
the role of the Health Services Act in
guaranteeing that people get what they are
paying for in insurance. This bilI is still in

What does this all mean for Evergreen
students and the Health Center? It means that
students are left more to their own wits to take
care of their health care needs. It means that
more and more, the Health Center will be the
primary resource that students turn to. It
means that as students graduate, they will have
to examine the benefits packages that
employers are offering perhaps more It means

Furthermore, David Schoen said I have implied in this
sen-tence that he has revealed confidential patient infonnation.
The sentence was meant to imply that Macek's partner is an
example of a class of people who are medical patients; it could
have read, " ... patients such as Macek's friend ... " I thought this
was evident because the statement did not discuss specific
patient infonnation -only general and statistical infonnation.
Schoen also told me over the telephone on April 24, that
he thought I had told him that I knew Macek had never gone
. into the Health Center for any such test before the story went
to print. This is not true and was never true. I have absolutely
no reason and no interest in printing anything but sound,
honest information that I have attained through interviews. It
is unfortunate that there has been a miscommunication over
this matter and I cite no individual responsibility for the
misunderstanding - only that it is a misunderstanding.

The album
has no weak
tracks. Some of
my favorites
are "I Remain
Calm " with its funky keyboard licks,
"Proceed" with its lyrical acrobatics, and
the title track, with its uncanny vocal
imitation of turntables. Lyrically they tend
to go for traditional rhyme busting and
clever boasting, with a refreshing absence
of sexism and violence glorification. And
if you're looking for some social relevance,
look to the closing track, "The Unlocking."
Guest poet Ursula Rucker recites words
that bUFn like acid as she describes in
lyrical detail the humiliation of being
treated as a sex object, then strikes back.
The Roots are a real live organic hip
hop band, but they don't botherto remind
you. You'll find no chants of "this is not a
sample" or lyrics about the fact that they
know how to play instruments - just 74
minutes of great musicianship and
microphon e skills. The rhymes and
rhythms fit together perfectly and without
seeming self conscious. It's just the way it
was meant to be.

Gay Film F~~t r~turn~
by Demian A. Parker
For the eighth time TESC and the
Capitol Theater will host the annual
Northwest International Lesbian Gay Film
Festival. Over 50 films and videos from
around the world will show over the weekend
of April 28 to 30.
"Most of these films are Northwest
premieres," said Marcus Frank,
Programming and Publicity Director, "and
most will never be seen again [in the area].
Some of the bigger ones might be seen in
Seattle."
Among the premieres is Devotion
(Capitol Theater, Friday at 7:30 pm), which
is more than just a wonderful exploration of
love, betrayal, passion, jealousy, fear and
devotion; it is also a special directors cut of
the film, and a U.S. premiere. The director,
Mindy Kaplan, will travel from Vancouver
B.C. to introduce the film . Right after
Devotion is the West Coast Premiere of No
Ordinary Love, described as a "gay Melrose
Place."
Go Fish, a big hit at the 1994 Sundance
Film Festival and "the first realistic
representation of everyday lesbian life on
film," will play Sunday, April 30 at TESC.
"The last three years have done a lot to
get the word out," said Frank, "[Now] we get
films from these weird little European film
schools."
The film festival grew by about a third
last year, as a result of hard worRing studen t,
faculty and community member volunteers.
This year, those same volunteers are back to
help get this year's festival even more films.
"We really slammed on the publicity,"
said Frank.
While more people coming to the
festival means more money for publicity, the
festival does not have it any easier than when
it began.
"The mailing cost alone went up by
$600 this year," said Frank. "No one's
funding the publicity. [Also) film rentals
went up significantly. Ticket cost doesn't
even begin to cover the cost."
The films will commences with
Devotion at the Capitol Theater on Friday,
April 28 at 7:30 pm, and at TESC Saturday
April 29 at 11 am with many many films.
Tickets can be purchased at Bailey Coy
Books in Seattle, Rainy Day Records in
advance, or you can gettickets atthe movies.
They cost $5 general/$4 student.
Demian is the creator/writer of the
ungoing adventures ofJonathan, in Dear

The Sixth Annual
by Bryan Theiss
A lot of movies have hip hop or
"alternative rock" soundtracks thrown
together for marketing purposes, and they
never come together feeling sincere. But
possibly due to album producer Ice Cube,
this is a soundtrack that means it.
Ice Cube went from group success with ,
N. WA. to having solo albums, directing videos and starring in feature films. His latest
film , Friday, represents another step in
Cube's career. In addition to starring in the
film, he co-wrote and executive produced it.
There's a definite theme here - all of
the songs have a laid back, Friday night feel
which 1suspect fits the subject matter of the
movie Qudging by the logo, which uses a joint
for an 'j'). There are ten mostly solid tracks
by hip hop groups and five tracks by some
of the funk and soul legends who inspired
them.
The best known rappers seem to stick
with what they know. Ice Cube's "Friday" has
pretty simplistic production compared to his
solo albums, but his vocals are great as usual
and the groove seems to improve upon
further listening. Dr. Ore's "Keep Their
Heads Ringing" has the usual Dr. Ore sound
and some surprisingly clever lyrics, so Ore
fans will certainly appreciate it. Cypress Hill
still has some nice production and unique
vocals, but as the title implies, "Rolilt Up,
Light It Up, Smoke It Up" is not an attempt
to find new subject matter.
Tha Alkaholiks' "Coast II Coast" is
probably the best hip hop track on the
album, with lines like "Since I was a kid I
got darker / I write rhymes so fat I need a
marker / My style ge.ts bit like Peter Parker"
and even a reference to Space Ghost. It's a
freestyle bragfest and it's catchy as hell.
Other amoral standouts include
"Lettin' Niggas Know" by.1preat and "Blast
If! Have To" by E-A-Ski. The only one that's
painfully bad is 2 Live Crew's "Hoochie
Mama." With all the controversy over their
juvenile and hideously misogynistic lyrics
people tend to forget how bad these guys
really are. Their vocals have always been
weak, their music has always been simplistic and cheesy, and their rhymes have always been forced. I don't know what's more
amazing - the fact that these guys still exist or that they haven't improved in nearly
a decade.
Fortunately, the non hip-hop tracks
easily make up for 2 Live Crew's
embarrassing contribution. The Isley
Brothers' "Tryin' To See Another Day" is
possibly the best song on the album. It's got
delicious soul vocals over a modern beat-
a seamless fusion of '70s soul and modern
hip hop. It's also the most hopeful and
sophisticated song of the bunch.
People expecting an uptempo funk jam
from P-Funk geniuses Bootsy Collins and
Bernie Worrell might be disappointed by
"You Got Me Wide Open." But what they get
is a great ballad in the tradition of Bootsy's
Rubber Band love songs like "Munchies For
Your Love" and ''I'd Rather Be With You." This
one could benefit from a live drummer, but
Bootsy and Bernie are in top form and Bootsy
is pretty funny being raunchier than usual.
The Rick James, Rose Royce and Roger
tracks have been released before, but allthree
are great. My favorite is Roger's cover of "I
Heard It Through the Grapevine." You may
know Roger Troutman from the group Zapp,
. whose 1980 masterpiece "More Bounce To
the Ounce" seems to be the foundation for
80 percent of west coast hip hop. Imagine "I
Heard It Through the Grapevine" done in the
Zapp style - robotic talkbox vocals, deep
bass groove and all- and you get the idea.
It's so good you can listen to the whole thing
without once thinking of the California
Raisins.
None of these songs aspire to high art.
There are no attempts at political briefing
and little musical innovation. There's a lot
of talk about smoking endo, a good helping
of sexism and a lot of throwing around of the
n-word. But if you can stomach all of that
there are a lot offunky grooves, clever boasts
and catchy choruses to chew on.
If you'd like some soulful background
music and catchy but meaningless party
songs, the Friday soundtrack might be for
you. It's sincere hip hop, funk, and soul for
those who can appreciate it.
Bryan is a little obsessed with monkeys.

If the Cooper Point Journal, of all the
glorious publications printed in Shelton and
read in Olympia had a Society Page it would,
no doubt, be terrible.
No one wants to hear about people in
Olympia dating, who was seen with who and
what's so-and-so's favorite drink-because
that'd be gross.
. So fuck the people and let's let the
rumours run rampant in other OlyAreas.
The Olympia FIlm Festival is
desperately looking for a theme/catch
phrase/what have you for their 12th festival.
You should think up something cool and tell
them.
Rumour has it that Seaweed might play
at the Capitol Theater sometime soon. This
would be a full-stage show, but people talk a
lot about this kind of stuff and it never
happens, so don't trust it.
Speaking of rumours and bands and
stuff, the favorite college-folk-Iesbian-duo the
Indigo Girls, might be playing a Geo-dome
near you. Again, the guy who told me this
stuffis paid by the state - truth is optionaL
Closer to fact is the upcoming release
of the Yo Yo a Go-Go Festival album .
Someone close to the source told me that the
vinyl would be longer than the CD - and
not just in diameter.
Shame, that simple duo Pat is a part of,
is playing May 6 at the Midnight Sun (again,
