The Liberty Park Alliance is determined to not see
another tree cut down from the 10 acre parcel offorest behind
the Cooper's Glen apartment complex. In the past week they'Ve
gone to the courts, up into the trees and to jail for their cause.
Hauk·Well Land Company, a Lacey timbering agency,
purchased the land on Nov. 15, 1994 for $100,000 with the
intent to harvest the timber from the 10 acres.
The Liberty Park Alliance is, according to the group, "an .
active and participatory movemtnt for environmental
conservation and stewardship based on grass roots democracy,
ecological wisdom, socia l change and nonviolence. The
founding impetus being the creation and presentation of
Liberty Park."
Liberty Park Alliance is composed primarily of Cooper's
Glen residents and Evergreen students, but includes local
landowners adjacent to the property. Ratna Roy, an Evergreen
faculty who lives in the area, was lis led as a plaintiff in a court
case against the Hauk-Well Land Company.
Hauk-Well completed a Forest Practices Applicationwith
the Washington State Department of Natural Resources. The
application stated the company's intent to remove 80 to 90
percent of the timber on the land.
On Dec. 16, 1994, the Thurston County Planning
Departmenl issued a Determination ofNonsignificance, ruling
that Hauk-Well's plan for logging "does not have a
probable significant adverse impact upon the
environment. ..
In compliance with state law, the application
was posted for public comment for a period of 15
days. Residents and st udents opposed to the
logging forced the COUrity to extend the comment

Over 40 TESC students gave up some of their freedom last
Friday and Saturday to save the trees behind Cooper's Glen.
Thirty-one protesters were arrested Friday, Jan. 20, some
for trespassing on private property and others for obstructing .
a vehicle. Thirteen more protesters were arrested on Saturday
for trespassing. No other arrests have since been made.
. The first wave of arrests occurred on Friday after students
and local residents blockaded the path to the woods, set up
guard in the trees and moved the logger's items to prevent the
Hauk-Well corporation from clear cutting the area.
The tree climbers were given the option of climbing down
from the trees on their own, or face removal and arrest. Some
protesters, like TESC students Carson Sprenger and Brian
Freeborn, opted to climb down and avoid arrest.
However, some protesters waited until the Deputy Sheriffs
removed them from the trees. TESC student Cynthia Knoke
refused to come down from a tree that she had locked herself
to with a Kryptonite bike lock. A Thurston County Deputy
Sheriff sawed through a branch to remove her. Knoke was
arrested and charged with trespassing.
Six other first-year TESe students, Bruoke Bell, Katlin
Bernhard, Brandon Hellkins, Jeff Reading. Claudine Reynolds
and Ingrid Sellberg were arrested for criminal trespassing.
According to Bell, the group of six ran onto the property
because it is their opinion that the property is open to the public.
As soon as they crossed the property line. Lt. Gary Daurelio
yelled "stop". Daurelio then arrested all six of them.
"We went peacefully," sa id Bell.
Bell sa id Daurelio grabbed her arm and when she
protested he said, "Now that you are arrested the rules have
changed." Daurelio then handcuffed 'the six students and took
them to th e county jail.
According to Bell. th e group was photographed,
tingerprinted and held until th ey were processed. All six oFthem
were relea sed later th at night on their olVn recognizance.
Bell said that th e group would do it again if necessary.
The next day the standoff continued. Protesters again
blocked the loggers access and trespassed to prevent the clear
cut. Instead of climbing the trees like the previous day, most of
the protesters focused their efforts on delaying tactics.
The Deputies began aggreSSively trying to arrest
protesters on the property but were significantly outnumbered
by the protesters. The Deputies were able to catch only those
unlucky enough to be caught in·the brush or those who willingly
gave themselves up for arrest.
Thirteen more TESC students were arrested on Saturday
and charged with criminal trespassing.
The protesters were t:.equired to post bail of $250 each.

"salad munchers" because they were vegetarians and wanted

However. she said that most of the officers treated them
nicely and they were provided with vegi-burgers.
Although all of those arrested on Saturday said that it was
worth it, they plan to avoid arrest in the future.
Protest 'from cover
could be heard the cries of people in the
woods, "Murderers!"
Several protesters began verbally
assaulting the Sheriffs, stating that there
were still people in the woods, and that the
Sheriffs were being negligent. One officer
replied, "They've been amply warned."
At 1:45 pm, the first tree fell to the
ground. Two more trees were cut by 2 pm.
Five minutes later, the two fallers
emerged from the woods with chainsaws.
One, who refused to give his name, said they
were leaving "for a better job 'somewhere
else, with more trees and less people."

..
The hopes of the LPA for a stop-work
order rested in the hands ofJudge Harrison
of the Forest Practices Appeals Board, The
case began promptly at 3 pm with Shawn
Newman, lawyer for LPA speaking first.
Newman brought up the agreement
from 1971, stating thatin issuing the permit .
the Department of Natural Resources
(DNR) was negligent by not recognizing or
it into consideration. He added that the
application was "apparently appr<~ved
without reference to the Environmental
Checklist... and DNR should have
questioned the respondent's repre~entation
ofwhat animals are on the subject property."
. Attorneys were present in the defense
for both DNR and the Hauk-Well Land
Company.
Hauk-Well's attorney, John Sinclair
argued that "this is not a development project,
just a timber removing process," and reiterated
what he had said' in the earlier case, that his
clients had completed all the necessary steps
and were acting in full accord with the law.
Judgeflarrison ruled that there would be,
what is effectively, a temporary restraining
order on logging for only part of the property,
'~There shall be a buffer in average of 35 feet in
wi.dth on the North, East and South sides of
the properiy." The order did not include the
side,ofthe-property adjacent to Cooper's Glen,
and was not what the LPA wanted.
Harrison also stated that 'the matter
would be up for a complete review on Friday,
.Jan. 27, at 9 am. Until that time, he said, HaukWell was free to log the interior of the land.
Hours after this decision was made, at
8:10 pm, the last of the protesters arrested were
released from the Thurston County Jail. Jeff
Reading, one of the last protesters released,
described jail as "boring as hell."
the LPA had a meeting on Friday night
in CAB 108. Att.orney Ted Mahr stated that
since the group had exhausted all
administrative options on the land, they could
go back to the Thurston County Superior Court
in another attempt at a temporary restraining
order to stop the logging.
Saturday morning, the loggers returned
and Were greeted by over two dozen protesters
on the perimeter of the property and another
group in the trees and woods.

The arrests were very expensive for the Liberty Park
Alliance group. TESC student Thadaigh Baggallay coordina ted
the bail money for the protesters. He said over 35 people had
contributed to the bail fund. bringing the total tu $4.350 .•
"We're wiling to die for this cause," said
Jason Murges, an organizer for the LPA.
The loggers attempted to clear a
"landing" where a "skidder" would be placed
to remove the logs. Using a bullde,zer, they
attempted to clear away small trees and brush.
Protesters ran in front ofthe heavy machinery
to prevent the clearing. .
Thirteen prol'esters were arrested by
Thurston County Sheriff's Officers for criminal
trespassing. Only those who got in the way of
the logging were arrested, and the Sheriff's
department kept many protesters CIt bay.
Logging ceased at noon on Saturday,
according to one heavy equipment operator,
"for fear of people's lives. "
The loggers left, along with the Sheriffs
Department, shortly thereafter. A
representative from the private security agency
said, "We're all done for today, folks."
On Monday, the LPA l\o'ent to the courts
again in another attempt at a restraining order
to prohibitthe logging.
Judge Thomas McPhee was appointed to
the case. McPhee denied their request for a
stop work order on the logging. His decision
was primarily procedurally based. The plan tiffs
in the case did not give proper notice to all
named defendants before the hearing.
Robert Ficalora, the plan tiff who argued
the case, said LPA was "being denied due
process." ..
'Tm totally flabbergasted," said Ficalora.
He state:>· that they have not been able to
present all9fthe facts of the case.
"lt's called Liberty Park because of the
great.lengths we've had to go through to secure
our liberties," said Ficalora.
Wednesday in court Sinclair filed a
motion on behalf of Hauk-Well to prohibit
protesters from coming within 200 feel of the
property tor the saftey of both parties.Judge
McPhee heard the case at 4:50 pm .
"We don't want them getting hurt ."
said Sinclair. "It's a very dangerous situa tion
out there, it is inevitable that someone will
get hurt."
Sinclair also argued that Hauk-Well
was "loosing substantial money on this
matter," already amounting to $10,000.
McPhee heard rebuttal from Ficalora.
but cut him uff when the testimony being
presented mirrored that of Monday's case.
"I am concerned about how this cast:' i~
proceeding," said McPhee, "and the court
must act to prevent people from being
exposed to dangeL"
McPhee ordered that logging be
stopped until a hearing could occur on
Friday. He added that no further tresspassing
would be permitted, stating simply t hat "no
one can go on the property," and those
caught would be arrested for breaking th e
court order as well as criminal tress pass.
Sinclair argued, against the ruling,
saying that the judge was rewarding
protesters for preventing the logging which
was permited by law. Judge McPhee
dismissed the argument, stating that he was
acting the greatest interest of public saftey.
The hearing was set in front of McPhee
for 11 am on Friday. Jan. 27, two hours after
the review hearing in front of the Fo rest

court has ruled 'that there will be no more

Student finds herself
caught in phone scam
by Ariel Burnett
CPJ SlaffWriler
It is a well known fact that college
students often have little money. However,
they also may not be the most cautious
consumers.
Since school began this year, several
students on campus have found themselves
victims of shady dealings.
One such scam involved an advertisement that claimed to provide information on
how to make up to $1,500 a week stuffing envelopes. Curious people were asked to send in
$3 for further information. Then they were
sent a brochure reiterating the ad which directed them to send and additional $25 for
"learning materials." The "learning materials"
proved to be a bookIet How to Scam Other
People.
Although embarrassing, the amount of
money lost in the deception was smaU. Some
frauds can cost their victims a lot more.
Amy Webber, a student living on
campus, found herself in a stressful situation
after rethinking the amount of information
about her finances that she had given to a
phone solicitor.
"They woke me up and I wasn't really
thinking," she says.
After being told she had been "awarded"
a reduced price on magazine subscriptions,
the solicitor told her that they would take the
money directly from her bank account and got
her to reveal her checking account number,
social security number and her birth date.
Later, after considering the fact that she
knew nothing about the company that now
had access to her-bank account, she was forced
to switch accounts.
~Once I though t about it I realized I
should have never given out that kind of
personal information over the phone," she
says. ~The bureaucratic cycle of getting
everything changed made me feel trapped. It
was a dumb mistake and I'm never doing that
again."
Barbara Robinson of the Western
Washington Better Business Bureau says her
organization gets a lot of complaints regarding
phone and mail fraud. "When I'm buying
something I initiate it, I don't have too much
to do with it over the phone," she says:
Most of the scams she hears about
involve the victim being told they have won a
prize or that they have something waiting for
them in a warehouse but they must pay to
receive it,
"Make sure people realize that they don't
have to pay for anything to win a prize. A lot of
it is common sense, ask for phone numbers
and addresses, don't pay money up front and
don't give that kind of information (about
finances) out over the phone. Never do it!
Always remember that they are there to make
money." _
_
Loggers from cover - - - - - - - - - - - - ~The police have been used in a property
rights dispute, and they were only on one side
of the dispute,"
He says the police have been engaged in
"gross official misconduct." And he feels the
loggers are enda nge ring the lives of the
protestors. He says, "loggers cutting down
trees, bare ly missing people is attempted
homicide in my opinion."
Haukom fee ls the protestors are
endangering the lives of the loggers in other
ways. "They vandalized our trees. Now we
don't know if they're spiked or not," he says.
Spiking trees is the process ofimpIanting
metal spikes into trees to prevent their cutting.
When th e spikes come in contact with a
chainsaw or mill saw, the saw blade breaks and
the blade can maim or kill the logger or mill wolker.
One of the Hauk-Well crew members,
who wants to remain anonymous. for safety
reasons, is a shovel·machine operator who has
been working in the business for over 50 years.
He says that he has ne"er seen anything like
this protest before. Under his contract, he is
not being paid for the time he has spent waiting
to do his job at the logging site.
He is not a st ranger to environm en tal
protest. A few years ago, he was running his
own business as a log loader. He had a log
loader machine that was being used in a project
with Mark Conwell, one of the owners ofHaukWell. One day, he went out to his uninsured
equipment and found that sand had been
poured into the engine and that gasoline had
been put into the exhaust pipe. he says if he
had turned on his shovel. "It would have blown
up and killed me ." His equipm ent was
destroyed, causing a financial loss of $50,000
and forci ng him out of business.
This kind of sabotage is what Hauk-Well
is trying to avoid by hiring a full time security
guard to watch the property and the logging
equipment.
Haukom is dismayed by the message
hiring a security guard sends. "This shouldn 't
have to happen. You shouldn't have to hire a
security guard to watch your stuff."
Quata Cody. spokesperson for the Liberty
Park Alliance, the group organizing the protest
against the clearcut, says the issue is not the
loggers against the environmentalists. She says
they are just trying to get the loggers to uphold
a covenant attached to the land that says the
land is protected from the logging.
To Haukom, the issue is citizens' land
rights. He says, "We can't let these protestors
violate our land rights. We're not going to back
down. It's our Constitutional right. Whether
we come back this summer, or next year, we're
not going to leave." _

Wi~ter quarter brings gloom
and some jolly fun events
~Why don't I ever learn? Bow did I
end up sticking around campus fOI:yet one

overheard in the hallway the other day, one
whose sentiments are likely shared by a
sizeable portion of the Evergreen
population. Look around and everyone has
their head down, plowing through the
most difficult weeks.
Lucky for us, some visionaries saw
this coming and
started planning in
advance for activi·
ties to entertain, inform, motivate, stir
or otherwise move
us to a more stimulated sphere.

Your are probably aware of the organic
farm which is a part of Evergreen 's operations.
There, students grow vegetables which they sell
in Red Square. Not everyone is aware that these
students also raise pigs and turkeys. The
animals raised by the students are proudly
displayed at various events. When the animals
are no longer considered to be instructive or
useful, they are killed.
[n addition to teaching how to keep
animals alive, profit from them, and then to
have them killed, such a course of study has
other. implicit lessons. Those lessons address
the relationship of humans tonon humans; the
role and rightness of coercion; and the
perceived difference of "inferiority" of others
as being a criterion for whether and what kind
of consideration those others will receive.
We see these lessons - and their
outcomes - outwardly in the form of society,
and inwardly in the form of mental processes.
It is hardly news that our society reflects
disparities in resources, consideration, violent
versus nonviolent treatment, etc. The attitude

That's right, most of the energy we
currentlv use at one time came from the sun!
Natural ' gas? Coal? Hydropower? Yup all of
th ese have converted the energy of the sun in
one way or another into a form which we find
useful. ' The problem with these conversion
forms is that they are very inefficient.
They only con vert a very small
percentage of the suns energy into usable
energy. not to mention the fact that some take
thousands of years to form. These "fossil fuels"
are however very concentrated forms ofenergy,
because they have had many years to "store"
up energy from the sun.
When we compare these forms of energy
to the direct conversion of the suns rays only a
fool wouid choose to use fossil fuels as a way to
harness the power of the sun. If a black rock is
placed in direct sunlight it can absorb almost
90 percent of the energy which strikes it.
So we compare the 90 percent conversion
to the less than one percent conversion for
fossil fuels and only the same fool is heating
their home with coal. Right now you 're
probably thinking "that's all great and dandy
but I can't heat the water for my shower with a
black rock. "Many solar hot water heaters can
now convert 60 percent of the sun's energy into

Attention all peace-loving, anti-nuclear Greeners:
your help is needed now. A phone call and a letter to
President Bill Clinton right now is imperative.
Background: The International Comprehensive Test
B,an treaty (CfB) is being negotiated starting Jan. 30. 1995,
and it is in jeopardy. The bes t hope of saving it is if
President Bill Clinton steps in and personally pushes it
forwa rd, throwing the weight of the United States behind
a true CfB. President Cl inton has shown time and time
again that he responds to public pressure, whether it's
from the right or the left. Th ere is a national coaliti on of
peace groups cam paigning to pressure him to take the
in itiative at the CfB talks in Geneva, Switzerland.
It is abso lutely critical that a CIBis achieved at these
ta lks because th e international Nuclear Non-Proliferati on
Treaty (NPT) Conference starts in April, and many experts
fee l that there is a window of opportunity in April that
will likely close if nothing gets done, because of the shifting
internat ional scene. A CIB treaty is cri tically needed to
get the momentum going for the April NPT confere nce.
The United States is the key world leader on nuclear
weapons pol icy; if President Clinton pushes for nuclear
disa rmament. then the wo rld will fo ll ow. President
Cl inton wi ll do it on ly if you and I push him.
So, we need to pressurl!"President Clinton.
Th is Monday, Jan. 30, is National Call-I n Day to
President Clinton. His number is (202) 456-1111, Be clear.
polite, and respectful; ask that he get personally involved
in making su re the CIB negotiations are successful. His
address is:
The White Ho.use
1600 Pennsylvania Ave. NW
Washington D.C. 20500
It costs only 50 or 60 cents to call, 20 or 30 cents if you call
before 8 a.m .. and if you or a fr iend have Working Assets
Long Distance it costs nothing. Let's generate hundreds
of ca lls and influence Mr. Clinton to do the right thing.
Don't be lazy or apathetic: it takes so little time. If you
forget, or the lines are busy, then do it Tuesday or
Wednesday, but just do it!
The nuclear futu re of this planet is at a critical
impasse; now is the time to actl

is more sun here than you may think. The two
most basic ways to put the suns energy to use
are by letting the sun heat our homes and our
water. Heating your house with the sun, better
know as passive solar, is usually integral to a
buildings design and site orientation. Basically
it involves letting as much sun into your house
each day as possible and storing it in a thermal
mass to heat your home through the night.
Attached sunspaces and greenhouses use this
same concept.
There are many different kinds of solar
hot water heaters on the market today and it is
even possible to make your own. Even during
winter months when you may not be able to
heat 100 percent ofyour water with solar, it will
still help out by raising the temperature of the
incoming water.
Another way we can simply use the suns
energy is in lighting. Just think how nice the
new art rooms are which are naturally lit. By
designing our buildings in such a way to let
natural light in we reduce our need for artificial
lighting and save electricity_
The Washington House of Appropriate
Technology (WHAT) is currently being
designed by a group of students. Our vision
incorporates the use of natural "free" energy
to replace our addiction to blood sucking fossil
fuels which currently rule the world. Ifyou want
to be involved in the first step to renovating the
world, designing a house. or finding out more
about what we are doing come by Lab II rm

Won 't Learn From You!, by Herbert Kohl
(Milkweed Editions, 1991) gave me a great idea of the
importance of individuality in the learning process. It
addresses the importance for some people to reject either
a subject, teacher. curriculum or philosophy for reasons
completely personal to them.
If I were black, and my class was assigned to read·
what I saw as a blatantly racist book. ifI rejected the book
and refused to take part in any discussion that did not
address the racial underpinnings I saw, and therefore
failed the assignment, failing in this instance could be seen
more as an accomplishment than a failure.
The school would grade this person a failure , but
some miglit see the situation as the exact opposite, as I
do; that the student modeled the better, more intelligent,
and respect deserving actions.
The author speaks of a similar group of Latino
students confrontiilg racist thoughts and ideas and
subsequently not-iearning them ..." accepted the failing
grades not-learning produced in exchange for the passive
defense of their personal and cultural integrity... This was
a class of school failures, and perhaps.... the repository
for the positive leadership and intelligence for their
generation." In both instances, the discussion bypassed
the racism and focused on issues irrelevant to the students
.concerns.
. . . Racism exists in our society. People don't believe
the reality of their own discomforts with someone's race.
or that they attach various stereotypes based on
. someone's color (this being equally true for everyone-.
whether you're 'white' thinking gang warfare is some
genetic trait, or a 'person of color' stereotyping somebody

whatever». I think its everywhere. underappreciated. and
. therefore continues.
I think people also overlook that at Evergreen. the
freedom to articulate your feelings and thoughts,
whatever they may be, is not always supported. Like the
. failing grades the Hispanic student is doomed tC' receive
in the previous example. I think that people are often
faced with a feeling of failure and isolation from the
Evergreen community because of the differences between
their own personal expetience and beliefs, and those most
openly asserted by various people in the Evergreen
community as a whole.
One thing that has stuck in my mind was a sign on i.

Castest times of the season . For the second week in a row, the

Tree spiking not intended to har·~
I disagree with Greg Smith's assertion concerning tree
spi king in his "Evergreen Christ & Me Colu mn of Jan . 19: "Tree
spiking kills mill workers. Just like shooting through abortion
clinic windows kills receptionists." First, there is no record of
any person being killed as a result of tree spiking. If you have
other info please share it with me as well as with the timber

._The idea of spiking trees is not to harm any living being,
but to stop trees from being killed. To achieve this end, and
ensure workers do not get hurt, several tactics are employed.
First, the stand is marked, usually with a large "S" painted on
the trees. Also, the press and the Forest Service/logging
corporations are notified that the sale has been spiked. The
,pikes are also pounded in higher than where a chainsawwould

wait for investigations. Often sales have been qUietly dropped.
In Northern California in 1987, one sawmill operator was
critically injured when his saw hit a spike in a small 12 inch
diameter tree . The event was widel)' publicized as "eto·
terrorism " by Louisiana Pacific (LP), when in fact there was
evidence indicating they were at fault. The investigation
revealed the victim and his co·workers had warned LP
management that the saw was loose and need replacing, and
that was the major cause of the incident. They also had evidence
that a disgruntled neighbor was the suspect. (See article by Judi
Sari in Yule '94 Earth Firstfjournalfor a complete story).
Some Earth First! groups renounced tree spiking after this
incident. There is some question about being associated with
irresponsible (non-marked and not notified) tree spiking and
the violence that it can perpetuate. We should not assume that
violence will be the result of t reI' spiking and try to understand
that the motivation behind it is to allow life to exist without
needless violence. (Inform ation for this piece was ob tained

a cogently delightful book
by john Ford
" Hey
Demian I
want to review
Steve Allen's
new book."
"So who's
Steve Allen?"
"Well, he's
a famous comedian from television's
Golden Age, as well as a film actor. He's
also a pianist and composer. He has fortytwo books to his credit. from mystery
fictions. to essays on religion and
morality. and even one on the dumbing
down of American society. Oh yes, he also
created the Tonight Show for NBC (and
the talk show format as well) and Meeting
of Minds for PBS. Other than that, he's
no one speciaL"
"So go ahead. review the book."
And so I shall. Steve Allen is one of
our century's great thinker/writers. No,
he's not Einstein or Gore Vidal. What
makes Allen great is his clarity of thought,
aDd his ability to convey these thoughts
to virtually any reader.
All en is a self-taught scholar,
possessed of wit (where appl icable) and
depth. For all hi s fame and success. he's
managed to stay anchored in the "real
world." This facet is what makes him an
excellent philosopher for our time, a job
he's been at for some decades now.
Reflections (Prometheus Books) is
the latest compendium of Allen's
commentaries, both current and from

No proclamations from a bully pulpit
ala Rush Limbaugh & Co., Allen is gent le,

reader. To wit:
• on dance - "Dance exists because it is
necessary."
• on death - "The primary cause ofdeath
is life .... Death , in its combina ti on of
realities and connotations, remains one of
the fundamental realities, but it is not
nearly so mysterious as life."
• on freedom- "Lord Acton's observation
that powe r corrupts and absolute power
corrupts absolutely is at least true enough
to be of practical use. An even sadde r fact
is that the same Illay be said offrred ulII."
• on government - "All delllocratic

N~w Tr~k:
a Bum Voyagp
by John Ford
Well folks, Star Trek: Voyager is
finally here.
whoo-hoo.
The much-ballyhooed flagship of the
syndicated United Paramount Network
made its un-auspicious debut the other
week. to many a rave review, some in these
very pages.
But I am here to bury Voyager, not
to praise it. Well, at least to kick sand in
its face. It wasn 't really bad so much bad
as ... mediocre. Mediocre is worse than bad
to me, because it's harder to laugh at it.
You just sit there feeling sorry for the
parties involved.
Yes, we got a woman captain (long
overdue) and a Vulcan (sorely missed by
the fans of the original series). And we got
a new ship with a diverse crew and neat
new special effects.
What we didn't get was a good story.
This is partially due to the show being
locked in the rules of the Star Trek
universe. Let's face it, for all intents and
purposes, we've been there, done that, got
the t-shirt and com badge.
The other major story flaw was the
cardboard stand-up characters. You
could've plugged any actors into those
parts, as opposed to the fine actors cast,
and the results would have been just as
predictable.
The first regular episode was no
better than the pilot film. It was boring,
heavy-handed
and
predicta ble,
uninspiring.
Science fiction TV, good science
fiction TV is not spiffy technology, geewhiz special effects and explosions in
space (... and don't start me on that one).
It's people, real, believable people. They
are who suspend disbelief, who keep us
from looking behind the curtain to find
that the Wizard of Oz is just an old
carnival peddler.
Was Voyager entertaining? Sure.
Will it succeed? Probably - Trekkers are
known for their lemming-like qualities.
WillI watch it?
Only when PBS isn't running
something I really want to see. Or - unless
Babylon 5's time slot changes. B5 is
everything Trek can never be, because its
not beholden to the toy-mongers or the
fan-type still living in their parent's
basement so as to attend all the
conventions.
Good luck, Voyager. You'll need it.

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.
To submit a column or anything else to the CPl, pick
up a submissions guide and bring your column to the CPl
on disk. We are in CAB 316, or call us at x6213.
