by Oliver MotTat
CPJ Staff Writer
On Friday, Jan. 27, Martin James
McGrath was arrested by the Olympia Police
Department and charged with three counts of
second degree rape, rape not involving a
weapon or causing serious bodily injury, a
felony charge . McGrath is being held in
Thurston County jail with a bail of$25,OOO.
McGrath was not a student or college
employee, but was a vo lunteer escort with
Public Safety and participated in supernatural
role playing games at Evergreell sponsored by
the Gaming Guild.
The two women who McGrath is accused
of raping are minors and are not students or
employees of the college, but did participate
in role playing games at Evergreen sponsored
by the Gaming Guild.
McGrath was arrested after the two
women came forward and told police of the
alleged incidents.
According to Olympia Police Reports,
McGrath is accused of two counts of rape by
one victim and one count of rape by another.
The three incidents alleged ly occurred during
July, August and September of 1994,
The first survivo r told police she was
raped at a private residence and again in the
women's bathroom ofthe CAB basement. The
second survivor told police she was raped in
the field behind F-lot.
Mary Craven, the Evergreen Sexual
Assault Prevention Educator, said that the
survivor had asked McGrath to escort her back
and gave his home phone number.
Larry Savage, said that McGrath's escort
service had no relation to Crime Watch. He said

The Anthology for Students of Color
is underway for 1995.
The first anthology started i.n 1993 as
an outlet for students of color Lo write about
their feelings and experiences and grew into
a lOO page book titled Bridges and
Windows. The title for this year's book is
I Vithout Explanations, Without Apologies.
. The book, which is being sold at the
Evergreen Bookstore and Key Service Office
(Library 1407). is what the 1995 anthology
wi ll modeL
Sridevi Ramanathan. the coordinator
of this year's project. says. "We need a place
to express our experie nc es without
explanations and without apologies!"
The ant hology project has $400 left
from last year's anthology but will need to
raise considerably more for another book.
Those volunteering for the student
prod uced project will be holding bake sales
and a benefi t concert to raise money for the
project.
Right now though, what the
anthology needs most is submissions. To
put together a book the size of last years' ,
the project will need many more
submissions from students of color than
what they now have.
The dead lin e for submitting to the
anthology is Wednesday, Feb. 15. The
submissions should be printed out as well
as on disk. Subrnit contributions is in a box
by the mailboxes on the 3rd Floor of the
CAB or on the first floor of the Library in
the advising area.

the challenges facing the modern nucl ea r
family. In fact, since its introduction to the
market nearly three years ago the book and
Coontz herselfhave become focal points in the
debate surrounding family values.
Coontz attributes much of her success to
the structure and educational philosophy here
at Evergreen, which ha s provided a forum for
her to receive criticism and input from both
her students and colleagues. Coontz feels that
without the perspectives and insights shared
by those around her, or the work Coontz has
participated in over the years, her attempts to
introduce her ideas to a mainstream audience
would not have been as effective.
However, Coontz describes writing at
Evergreen as a "trade-off." According to
Coontz, because of "Evergreen's fiercely
democratic commitment to teaching" faculty
members ate not rewarded with promotions
or raises.
With the emphasis 9f a faculty member's
participation at Evergreen on students'
educations, those interested in doing the type
of work that Coontz does are not likely to be
offered time' off.
\
Looking back at this last book, Coontz
recounts the challenges of writing at Evergreen,
recalling the "sleep deprived nights" she faced
while simultaneously managing her classes and
writing. Even still, Coontz agrees with the
priorities set forth by the college and reports
that, in many cases, the advantages have
outweighed the disadvantages.

Stephanie Coontz
Coontz believes that she has hit upon a
particularly useful writing process as a result
of working at the college, one that allows her
to bounce ideas off students in seminar, or
refine concepts outside the realm of her
expertise during collaborative work with other
faculty members.
In fact, Coontz cites this sort of synthesis
as what has allowed her to receive recognition
such as The Dale Richmond Award from the
American Academy of Pediatrics, crediting her
with achievements well outside the normal
confines of her primary areas of study.
Overall, Coontz sees the progress made
by The Way- We Never Were as a "public
service, dispelling myths and getting beyond
the sound bytes which make people feel guilty
or self righteous." According to Coontz, not a
week goes by that she doesn't get a phone call
from somebody who is "beaten down by the
family values rhetoric."
For Coontz's fut ure, there is another book
in store. While the book is now st ill only in the
preliminary stages, Coon tz foresees putting
concentrated effort into it during spr ing
quarter. •

Swimming Geoducks continue strong season
by Sarah Applegate
AssiSiallt Swil1lJlling Coach
The Swimming Geoducks continued
their strong season with five first place swims
and another team record fa lling in their duel
meet against the Whitman Missionaries in
Walla Walla, on Friday, Feb. 3.
The men's 200 medley relay team (Amos
Elias, Garren Oura, Blue Peetz, James Carsner)
began the meet with an exciting winning race,
followed up by Joy $ales breaking her own team
record in the 1,000 freestyle by 14 seconds with
a time of 12:44.07.
Tara Murphy also swam a personal best
time in the 1.000 by 13 seconds, with a
14:01.49.
Many Geoducks turned in lifetime and
season best limes, including Garren Oupa in
the 100 breaststroke (1:04.36), Amos Elias in
the 100 backstroke (1:05.09), Jessi Finch in the
100 fly (1:33.34), Ingrid Sell berg in the 200 1M
(2:58.38) and Tammi Anderson in the 200 free
(2:54.84).
Kayo Olgiby, in his first meet of the
season, inspired everyone with fast swims in
the 100 and 200 free, and Nate Mahoney beat
a top Whitman national qualifier in the 500
free, chopping another 15 seconds from his
lifetime best (5:18. 79).
The Geoducks are gearing up for the
PNWAC Conference Championship meet in
Ellensburg, this Friday through Sunday, Feb.
10-12. The swimmers and coaches are looking
forward to many FAST swims and lots of team
bonding time!
The final home meet for the Geoducks
will be Sat. Feb. 18 at the TESC pool. This will
be your last chance of the season to see the
Swimming Geoducks in action, so don't miss
it! The meet starts at 1 pm, and as usual,
volunteers are always welcome! •

Social Security numbers as student'IDs pose threat
by Burt Culver
Analysis
COlltributor
The Evergreen State College is involved
in institutionalizing the violation of its
students' civil rights. This is achieved by using
a person's Social Security Number (SSN) as a
student identification number. While this may
seem a minor violation of a student's rights
compared to other existing violations in the
world, there exist potential dangers of this
seemingly minor violation.
The method in which the college gains
one's SSN violates federal law. The Federal
Privacy Act states that if a government agency
requests an individual's SSN, the agency must
either cite the law requiring disclosure or state
that the disclosure is voluntary and explain
how it will use the SSN. Evergreen has failed
to db this.
In response to prompt from the
American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), the
a
Browsers~
EVE,'rgreen administration changed the
applications to include the disclosure law. Still,
the applications do not state that the SSN will
be used for a student's ID number and will not
give applicants the opportunity to choose
between a unique number or their SSN on the
application. Still, some 20 other documents
used at Evergreen do not bear the required
disclosure notice.
The dangers of using a person's SSN for
an ID number, aside from the above violation
of a student's civil rights, are manyfold.
Campus stores request that one writes
one's 10 number on all checks that are written.
Imagine a bored worker at the bookstore
calling up the bank using the name on the
check. He/she has the correct address, phone
number, account number and SSN. Seafirst
Bank's automated system uses the SSN as a
Book Shop.

security code for account access, as other banks
do (this code can be changed by customer
request).
Many collection agencies use this method
to check funds in people's accounts. Just for
fun, get a friend to write t.heir ID number on
their check and see if you can get into their
account. Try transferring funds. Imagine a
stranger doing this to your account. Will the
bank believe it wasn't you? After all, the caJler
had the "secret" access code.
Another danger is in the fact that your
SSN is printed on your picture student 10 card.
Many people carry this card with them in a
wallet, and this can cause problems. If t~e
wallet is stolen or lost, someone could call up
credit card companies and access the wallet
owner's account. The thief (or person who
found the wallet) could find out how much they
could then charge on the card.
Another way that the SSN/ID number
can be used against a student is its appearance
on all one's transcripts. For the rest of your life,
your college transcripts will bear your SSN. All
it takes to get a credit report on someone is a
name and aSSN. Do you want all future
employers or graduate schools to know all
these details of your life? Is it any of their
business if you have had a bankruptcy or a
history of slow payments. Should they be able
to find out if you have a mortgage and how
much it is? a car payment? a student loan?
child-support payments?
Having your SSN as·an ID number also
increases your exposure to authorities. For
example, what information about students is
considered public knowledge? Your name and
ID number are public unless you specifically
request that they are ~?t released.
Imagine this scemiiib: There was a hemp
legalization rally at Gasworks Park in Seattle
last year that drew thousands of people. At this
function
were
Drug Enfo rc ement
Administration (DEA) agents taking pictures
and writing down license plate numbers .
he takes your name to registration and gets
your 10 number. He can now find out your
home address (assuming he couldn't get it
from your automobile registration), and your
place ofemployment. Now, he could watch you
until he found something to bust you with. Any
psycho could find out information about you
thi~ way, not just a DEA agent.
The most important reason to stop the
pract ice of usi ng SSNs is that it teache s
students at a progressive school that it is okay
to give your SSN to whatever bureaucrat
happens to ask for it. Evergreen should teach
the protection of individual rights at all levels
and fight the government trend to pigeon hole
its citizens.
Evergreen administration said they used
the SSNs for ID numbers because they claimed
it was for the students convenience.
Apparently, college students find it difficult
memorizing so many numbers.
It is convenient to have just one number
with which to identity yourself. Why not tattoo
it on your forearm so you wouldn't have the
hassle ot remembering it? This could be great
- a persons phone number could be his/her
SSN, too. We could also do away with names
as we already are identified by our SSNs. Hey
there, 567-89-1234 how are you today? It seems
SSNs are more convenient for the
administration than us.
There is an option : write your name,
address and current ID number on a piece of
paper. Write that you request that you r ID
number be changed to something besides your
SSN. Sign it and turn it into registration. They
do have forms fo! this, but you have to ask for
one.

INTERNET NEWS
CPJ and Evergreen go on-line with World Wide Web
So, you think your interested in surfing
the net. but you don't know where to go, or
what to do when you get there. Well I've kind
of volunteered to write a little column to help
people find the stuffthey're looking for.
In this first column I'm going to start off
with some good places to go to get a f~,1 for
what's available out there. Every thing that I
talk about, you should be able to access from
our ever friendly Academic Computer Center.
Most of the stuff will be accessible through lynx
on the World Wide Web (WWW), though I'm
not planning on limiting us to just the web.
For those of you who are wondering just
what this world wide web. or lynx thing are,
this next section is for you.
The world wide web is a global web of
random information pages. The pages are
connected by hypertext word and phrases.
Hypertext is highlighted text on a WWW
page which can be used to link yo u to another
page th at is in so me way co nn ec ted to the
selected hypertext. Here at Evergreen we use a
program called "lynx" to navigate the hypertext
and find the pages with the information we're
looking for.
To make things a little easier for those of
you who may not have used "lynx" before, I've
included a little starter kit with some of the
basic commands. For a more in depth look at
the WWW and lynx, I recommend attending
one of the internet workshops provided by the
Academ ic Computin g Cent er, or finding a
book that covers the su bjects.
So let's get started. I've got two groovy
lVeb pages to start from.
Start lynx and connect to http://
galaxy.einet.net! EINet Galaxy. and make sure
you've got nothing to do for the next couple of
hours. The EINet home page is chock full of
topics that you can jump to. What makes it a
rea lly great place though is its search engine.
Using this engine you can search Galaxy pages,
I\ ·I\' W. Gopher sites and H)'celnec fo r any
specific topics th at Y9u might want.
If you get tired ofEINet you can jump over
to Yahoo, a guid e to WWW, at http:"!/
akebono.stanford.edu/yahoo/. It's pretty

cats, stewards and alarms
much the same thing as EINet except that it has
special lists for hot new sites,-and the most
popular sites on the web. Yah06 and EINet are
great places to get yourselfstarted on research,
because they offer access to huge amounts of
information in many topics.
For you sports fans out there make sure
that you check out "The Sporting Gray." This
page is accessib le through http://
www.ccnet.com/SF _F ree_Press/
welcome.html the "San Francisco Free Press,"
but you can jump straight past the murders
and wars and into the good stuff by going to
http://www.ccnet.com/SF _Free_Press/
sports/index.html. This page includes up to
date (within an hour or so) information on all
types of sports, but does a particularly good
job with the American big three : Basketball,
Baseball and Football.
After jumping all over the world, you can
fill that grow ing void in your stomach by
hopping over tn http://Www.pizzahut_com! to
order a steaming hot pie (delivery areas are
limited).
While chomping down some yummy
pizza, you might want to peruse the on-line
edition of the Cooper Pain/journal. CPjOnline.
It is sti ll very much in the infantile stages of
developmen t, but you can access an ent ire
quarter's worth of CPjs in just a few keystrokes.
Located conveniently on campus at http://

Financial Aid, from Cover
mean drasti~ changes to the financial aid
process. This move would cut fleXibility in the
financial aid office has in design ing an aid
package so a studen t can come to school.
making "the only thing left would be student
loans."
But. even loans would not be untouched.
Under the other Republican -spo nso red
changes to financial aid, federal subsidizes to
loans would disappear. The loans that could
be affected as a result of this plan includes the
unsubsidized Stafford Loan. Currently, $4.5
million of total tuition money at Evergreen is
paid through this type of Stafford.
By changing to un sub sidi zed loans,
students would be then expected to pay the face
value of the loa ns. This includes the interest
th at grew during the years that they were in
sc hool. The debts of stude nt s aft er this
proposal wo~l d be implemented would be
increase by 20 percent in comparison to those
of recent graduates with un subsidized loans.
It is the Republican thought that
subsidizing loans is "too expensive," that it
wastes tax payers money. This move would
save the federa l government $9.5 billion over
the next five years, money that would go
tow;;rds the goal of balancing the budget.
The other movement in Congress is for
the proposed direct loan program in which the
government acts as the lender, and not a bank.
This program has been implemented in 10
percent of the nation's colleges on a trial basis.
One of the schools where this is being
tested at is the University of Washington. Chun
says that the program IS bemg embraced by
students and financial aid offices alike. For the
financial aid offices, it means less work in terms
of keeping track of which lender each loan

response time to their loan applications.
Next year, th e experiment sha ll
encom pass 40 percent of the nation's colleges
and universities. Evergreen was to take part in
this exper im ent for the 1996-97 academ ic
years, however Chun says that they requested
not to be, in order to study the process further
and how it could be implemented to its full
effectiveness,
The direct lending measure is another
example of Republican attempt to decrease
spe nding, as original projections estimated
that it would save the government $4.3 billion
over five years. According to sources prOVided
by Chun, the savings could increase due to
increased borrowing and rising interest rates.
Based on 'C urrent feedback from other
schools already on the system, Chun would
"hesitantly be in favor of direct lending," but
realizes that the current 10 percent does not
give an accurate picture of the direct loan
program on a wider scale. .
The other major change being proposed
to the Federal Financial Aid was proposed by
President Bill Clinton in his Dec. 15, 1994 State
of the Union Address. His plan is to give a postsecondary tax deduction of as much $10,000 a
year:Th is would give all families, regardless of
need, a tax break. This does not "help the
neediest studen ts, " since the tax break is across
the board, and Chun cites that "families that
make $100,000 a year don't need this break."
Unfortunately, all of these proposals lead
to one thing, that the make-up of Evergreen
would change drastically. Since "more and
more stuaents are app ymg tor aid," anOlliere
shall be less money and programs to pay for
them, Chun feels that, "some students may
choose not to come to college ... the debt would
not be worth (attending school)." _

Another day/night in Evergreen Housing: someone pulls the fire alarm at 3:00 am;
someone has brough t their cat down from their
studio and is playing with it in the TV room;
the steward on the floor is making noise at 4:00
am, door open, cigarette smoke pouring into
the hallway; your roommate has his fourth unannounced stranger staying the night with
him, in as many nights; the heat has failed
again; the power is out again; the Stairwell chorus is going strong,
drums and all. Welcome to Evergreen
Housing.
Numerous
people have expressed amazement upon learning that I live in
campus hOUSing.
Some of them lived
on campus last year
- "never again," is
a sentiment I have heard a lot. It is embarrassing to have to admit that I naively believed what
the materials sent to me by the College said
about noise levels and rules of cleanliness being enforced; I've even seen it happen. At Evergreen Housing the complaint is the problem,
not the problem.
No place is perfect, of course. Still, it is a
wonder that such boorishness as slamming
doors, nocturnal hallway conferences, litter
and vandalizing of elevators. is so routine at
Evergreen. I lived in a dorm for a full year at
another college, and it was a very different atmosphere . .
)s the problem that Evergreen does not
give letter grades. so students don't feel they
really have to apply themselves to th eir studies? What is it about this campus that seems
to draw so many immature people to it? Considering what goes on night after night in campus housing, it is not hard to imagine the Leaders of Tomorrow and the kind of world th eir
thoughtless antisocial behavior portends.
It was pOinted out to me that I could try
to sell my contract to some either poor sucker
- in fact, I have seen announcements posted
.that offer up to one hundred dollars cash, if
someone will buy John or Jane Doe's contract.
By this time, it comes as no surprise that people
feel it necessary to make offers; no one who is
serious about studying would want to live on
in on-campus housing.
I plan to continue living on campus for
the rest of the academic year - and to raise
hell as often as I effectively can about the poor
quality of life, the non-enforcement of rules,
and the wide gap between printed portrayal
and lived reality, in campus housing. I urge others to do likewise; when we stand outside shivering at 3:00 am, during the most current false
fire alarm; when we turn in our keys to the community kitchens because they have become pits
of filth and neglect;
when we just wait
for the current
round of nocturnal
noise-making to
eventually subside ...
we allow the status
quo to continue.
Why not hold those
who have contempt
for other people living around them, to
the rules that supposedly exist? If Housing's own representatives
break the rules, maybe the local media would
be interested to know the reality oflife at this
"award-winning" institution. (One merry band
in a steward's room got a big laugh after my
complaint about noise in the wee hours, when
one of the jolly group suggested" shooting residents" who come out of the dorm rooms to
complain.)
Keep detailed notes of what happens:
who, what, when, what was said, what was
done; be accurate and be specific . When it
comes time to act, you'll have the evidence you
need. Witnesses are desirable, of course; exchange information with other Housing residents - yo u don't have to act alone. Remember, you've Signed a legal contract that binds
the College to fulfill certain obligations. It's
your education - you're paying for this (or
your parents are).
You will get what you deserve , which
means that if you want to have decent conditions and considerat~ treatment, you're going
to have to fight for them . There are enough indifferent bureaucrats ("lfwe don't hear about
it, it doesn't exist") imd loutish, infantile people
("fuck you, man, I'll do what I goddamned
want") that conflict is necessary in order to win
improvements. This is a lesson in life in college and elsewhere. Justice and fairness don't
just fall like rain; they have to be ivon. See you
on the barricades.

The Voices of Color column is intended to be a forum
for students of color to write about their feelings and
concerns at Evergreen.
We hope that students of color will use the space to
share their thoughts with the community. Often times, in
a community of so few people of color, our voices get
neglected. It is imperative that we not let this happen.

There are many reasons to
consider hemp products
by L.C. Bornholdt
COli tributor
Part II of a II part series
The environmental problems of treebased paper production don't end with the
devastating ecological effects of our current
clearcutting practices . Chlorine bleach
derivatives produce cancer-causing dioxins,
which often enter nearby waterways. Many
European mills have eliminated dioxins
entirely, but only a few American mills have
acted on the awareness of dioxin's danger to
consumers and stockholders alike. Even some
recycled .paper incurs environmental costs.
Recycled paper is often de-inked and chlori"ne
bleached. De-inking produces huge amounts of
contaminated sludge which is deposited in
landfills. Producing de-inked recycled paper
yields five times the volume of sludge as does
virgin wood fiber; some of the virgin wood fiber
is useful as fertilizer; there is no current use for
the contaminated de-inked sludge.
Hemp and Kenaf are two alternative
paper fibers currently used in this country.
Hemp, for legal reasons, must be grown
elsewhere; Kenaf was chosen by the USDA for
long-term research efforts in cooperation with
a few paper companies. Kenaf research has
focused primarily on newsprint production but
a variety ofKenaf papers are now being tested
commercially. Kenaf and hemp are both acidfree, recyclable, suitable for use in copiers and
laser printers, and are processed with a
minimum of bleach. The hemp paper available
in the states is bleached with hydrogen
peroxide which breaks down without toxic byproducts.
Development of hemp paper is hampered
by political presupposition; hemp is the same
plant species that produces marijuana.
Prejudice is rarely well-informed: strains grown

percent. Hemp fibers come from the stalk,
which doesn't contain any psychoactive
elements. About eight percent of the world's
paper pulp is made from non-wood plants
including hemp, kenaf, jute, bamboo, rice
straw, wheat straw and other annual crop
fibers.
.
Portland, Oregon businessman Paul
Stanford began importing 50 percent hemp
paper from China in 1992, marketing it as Tree
Free EcoPaper. Tree Free owns a mill in China
where the hemp is processed into paper. The
paper's other constituents are straws of rice,
barley and an arid-area grass, esparto. Another
American company, the Ohio Hempery of
Athens Ohio, also distributes the paper, along
with a variety of hemp products.
Environmental organizations have been
in the forefront of a movement to ease the
pressure on remaining forests by adapting to
other paper sources. The Oregon Wildlife
Federation drafted a policy last year requesting
the office of the Oregon Secretary of State to
buy paper made from non-wood fibers. It
additionally asked for all state archives to be
printed on non-wood paper. The acids used to
process wood pulp cause deterioration of the
paper within 25 to 80 years; acid free papers
such as kenaf or hemp paper last hundreds of
years. A 1,500 year old hemp paper rests in a
Chinese museum.

THE COOPER POINT JOURNAL
Dear Jonah E.R. Loeb,
It is with dismay that I learned of the death of Snuggle. I
raked you through the coals last quarter in a letter to the CPI,
so I know this is a bit strange. The deal is, I should have asked
more questions and drawn less conclusions. Some of the
cartoons you have done were very "politically correct" (whatever
that means). Some have exposed hypocrisy more than most
cartoons dare-to . Some really bugged me, but that's not
necessarily your problem. I saw a comedian on TV the other
day who has cerebral palsy. She says that everything will offend
somebody and that it comes with the ,territory. I would rather
see you continue your cartoon (maybe show more senSitivity?!!?)
than not continue it just because you have pissed some people
off. Self-righteous hippies like me piss people off too!
Sincerely,
James S. Wellings

On Jan. 27, a 23 year-old suspect, Martin McGrath, was
!lfi'ested by Olympia police for three counts of rape. The rapes
allegedly occurred on or near campus. McGrath admitted to
rapuliat least three women, a police report said (Olympian,
Jan. 29, 1995). It is alleged that one victim was raped in late
July in the woods north of F-Iot (Student Parking) at
approximately n pm. The suspect had been asked to walk
the victim back to her campsite because she was unable to
get anyone else to escort her.
Other incidents allegedly occurred in a CAB basement
restroom and at private residences off campus. The victims
and the suspect are not students or employees of the college.
We would like to take this opportunity to remind the
community that we are not immune to crimes like this.
Apparently, all of these incidents were acquaintance rapes .
and all of the women knew the alleged rapist. Many times
we feel that Evergreen is invulnerable because crimes like
acquaintance rape are often not reported. Acquaintance rape
happens here as it happens everywhere. It happens to people
we know and it can be perpetrated by people we know and
We would like to remind each and every member of
this community to thinkofher/his personal safety, even with
people they know. Camping in the woods alone leaves you
vulnerable, isolated places like the basement areas and the
woods can be dangerous. You should always think about your
safety in areas that are unlocked and accessible.
If you have been assaulted by anyone and would like
information about support and resources that are available
to you, please contact public safety or the office of the Sexual
Assault Prevention Coordinator.
If you are interested in attending a FIST (Feminists In
Self-defense Training) workshop, call 438-0288.
In closing, any member of the community who is
having trouble dealing with these incidents is encouraged to
contact the counseling center at 866-6000 x6800.

gets prepared to
burst into action
by Mauricio Garcia-Johnson
COl1lributor
In the days before Mexico's planned
inauguration ceremony, the rebel Zapatista
army had refused journalists access to the
liberated areas. Press people had been
kicked out of all zones seemingly in
preparation of some large operation, and
had announced a singular press conference
for Dec. 6 in the Lacandon jungle, two days
before the inauguration date.
In a press conference given by the
EZLN, (Zapatista Army of National
Liberation), on Dec. 6 in the Lacandon
jungle in Chiapas, Mexico, the
Indigenous Revolutionary Committee
led by Sub-comadante Marco read three
communiques directed at then
president-elect Zedillo and governorelect Riobledo, to opposition leader
Cuahutemoc Cardenas, and finally one
to the civil society.

Last Thursday night, I had my first
Olympia concert experience. Lois, Team
Dresch and PEZ played backstage at the
Capitol Theater and I was there from the very
start to take it all in. In fact, there were several
people who arrived on time 8:30 pm, when
the show was scheduled to start, only to find
that no one had thought to get change for
the ticket table. I was one of them.
Eventually, of course, they got change
and we all filed into the backstage area,
embracing its relative warmth.
The first band of the evening was the
two-man group called PEZ - the singer
played acoustic guitar while his partner
played electric. They pounded out rough,
but seemingly heartfelt songs - but after a
while, the songs began to run together, and
only a couple really stood out.
