Unlike most colleges, TESC does not recognize a student
government. A group of students are working to change that.
The Evergreen Student Association (ESA) is attempting
to enter into a co-management agreement with the Board of
Trustees. This allow s student participation in Board decisions.
FoUowing a number offailed attempts to create a student
government at TESe, the ESA was formed on November 4.
1991. Composed entirely of Evergreen students, its purpose is
to create a democratic student government.
The ESA has attempted to do this by adopting an open
board policy. This means that any interested student can join
its Board of Directors. The Board of Directors can include any
number of students at one time. This is meant to ensure
students' ability to join in the decision making process.
something that ESA members do not believe that a traditional
representational government can do.
"Ifit was a structure that excluded students right to make
decisions," said Patricia [mani, a member of the ESA Board of
Directors, "I would oppose it."
Although the ESA's primary objective is to organize a
democratic student government, it has formed two
departments to pursue other goals. The Evergreen Student
Lobby is a facet ofESA formed to approach the Washington
State Legislature regarding student concerns. The Evergreen
Student Interest Research Group (ESIRG) is designed to
operate much like WashPIRG. Currently ESIRG is attempting
to survey students concerning governance at Evergreen. The
ESA will create new departments according to interests.
At the end of spring quarter last year, the ESA Board of
Directors consisted of seven p~ople. The group had also
collected nearly 500 signatures representing student support.
"At that time we could have legitimized ESA." said ImanL
However, due to a lack of funding the ESA was not

to
Red Square Arson : Analysis
by Oliver Moffat
CPJ Contributor
Chuck Noah's trailer was burned down early in the
morning on Oct. 13 after IUs protest on Red Square. The
identity of the arsonist is unknown. but many understand
the arsonist's possible motivations.
Chuck Noah's daughter says she was sexuaUy abused
by him as a child. She says she remembered the alleged
abuse while in counselling 30 years after the abuse.
Chuck Noah denies the abuse and is a member of
the False Memory Foundation (FMF), a group of alleged
child molesters, their families and supporters who claim
that therapists have brainwashed or convinced their adult
children they were sexually abused.
. "There are good therapists and I'm not saying there
aren't little babies being molested. What I am saying is
that this repressed memory and everything is tearing up
a tremendous amount of families and it aU starts with
Courage to Heal," Noah said referring a book commonly
used during the healing process ofsexual abuse survivors.
Although Noah could not name the authors of the book,
he derided their qualifications.
In another recent study, author lynda Meyer
Williams interviewed 136 adult women who were known
to have been sexualfy' abused as children. The study found
that after17 years 38 percent ofthe women had forgotten
entirely about the abuse.
.
. '.
.'
.
, Some p'sychologists wU this Repr-!!!:~ Me!!!o~'
. Syndrome. They saythatchildren who are sexually abused
develop multiple person"l\ties and forget about the abuse
in order to survive. This has also been found in Vietnam
veterans and Holocaust survivors. .
Anne Bridges, Agency Coordinator at Safeplace
Women's Shelter in Olympia, says that although there are
instances offalse accusations of childhood sexual abuse,
it is very difficult to prove that a memory is in fact false or
not. She says, "each side has it's own statistics."
Many people feel that Chuck Noa h and the FMF are
discouraging survivors ofsexual abuse from speaking out
against th(,'ir perpetrators and they feel that the FMF is a
backlash against feminism.
Todd Denny, a local sexual assault activist, said.
"People are feeling more comfortable coming forward and
sharing their stories of victimization, whether its sexual
assault, incest, or domestic violence .. " He said
perpetrators now have a new approach to get them off the
hook. He added, "Now they can talk about False Memory
Syndrome instead of just denying it."
Some students took offense at one of the signs Noah
displayed at the Evergreen Campus whichcalJed for the
release of Paul Ingram who confessed to and was later
convicted ofritual child abuse in Thurston County in 1988.
Paul Ingram, a Thurston County Sheriff's deputy.
ehair of the Republican Party and a member of an
evangelical church. later recanted his confession.
Supporters of Paul Ingram have initiated a movement to
free him from prison.
Some Evergreen students are angry that Paul
Ingram, Chuck Noah and the FMF have received positive
media attention and worry that it will discourage survivors
of childhood abuse from telling their stories.
"Now that people are coming forward. this looks to
me like a mechanism to either discount what people say
when they finally do come forward or to even keep them
from expressing what they have to say," said a female TESC
student. She ~dded that sexual abuse, "is something that
has been for many years swept under the rug and kept
secret. And that's one of the powers of abuse."
Anne Bridges of Safeplace says that, ~ ...just because
(the FMF) is getting media attention doesn't mean that
what they have to say is valid. .. " she says, ..... people should
challenge what their motives really are. " _

TESC violence on the rise
by Lyn Iverson and Mark Gardiner
CPJ Intern Reporting Team
During the past few weekends there
have been multiple incidents at the dorms
and mod units that required the assistance
of resident managers, campus security, or
the Thurstpn County Sheriff Department
to resolve. 6ne 0 these incidents resulted
in physical violence and the arrest of two
people.
Is crime on the rise here at
Evergreen? Statistically, crime is on the
rise in Thurston county and being a part
of Thurston county, TESC is included in
those statistics:
"Some people have a myth that we
aren't part of the 'real' world, but we are,"
said Linda Hohman, Acting Director for
Residence Life and Administrative
Services.
Is there a pattern or common
denominator involved with this rise in
crime here at TESC? For some of the
crimes committed on campus there is, and
it's the abuse of alcohol. The frightening
aspect of this common factor is that
alcohol related crimes tend to be more
violent.

On Friday OCl.7, a party goer in Adorm got out of control and threw a chair
off of the top of the building, nearly hitting
a pedestrian walking underneath_ This
instance is still under investigation.
The weekend of the 15th brought
more violence that appears to have been
alcohol related. A party in the mods was
"crashed" by some off-campus people.
One of the party crashers became
physically violent and punched another
person at the party. The resident manager
was called, he called Campus Security,
who, due to the violence involved, called
the Thurtson County Sheriff Department
to assist.
According to the security and sheriff
reports, the woman was visibly
intoxicated, verbally abusive, resisted
removal from the residence, assaulted the

Feeling a political climate filled with
skepticism towards higher education and the
value of the public's investment in it,
President Jane Jervis. expressed her concern
as to the effect of such skepticism on how
the college assesses itself.
She first presented her ideas.during the
Oct. 10, 1994 meeting of the Presidential
Advisory Board, addressing the committee's
query as to what she felt were concerns for
the near and mid-range future. She recently
outlined the topic for the CPJ.
The issue is outcome assessment.
Outcome assessments seek to delineate
growth of knowledge in students in their four
or fourteen years in school, seeking to
answer: "Has the student learned anything?"
The Higher Education Coordinating
(HEC) Board began funding college
outcome' assessments in 1989. At that time,
there was much controversy over who would
administer the assessments and how .
Eventually, the HEC Board allowed for local
autonomy in developing assessments.

c
Ernst and Pay\ess
on Cooper Pt. Rd.
Evergreen adopted a method of
assessment which utilized the funds as a
grant fund for faculty to apply for various
research projects. Previous topics researched
have included: freshman retention.
multiculturalism, core programs, group
interactive skills and seminars.
President Jervis is worried, not because
the HEC Board has been hinting around at
changing policy; they haven't. But she
worries the public and the agencies which
accredit TESC may wish more "quantifiable
assessment" such as standardized tests.
Jervis feels such tests operate under the
philosophy that a student is an empty cup
that must be filled with facts and assessment
merely measures if they have acquired them
aiL Such a philosophy is adverse to the
President's and Evergreen's ideas of
education. It would be akin to Evergreen
switching from evaluations to letter grade
report cards.
President Jervis is hoping Evergreen
can, as it has previously, take a leadership
role in developing new methods of self
assessment.
"How do we know that [someone]
. lacks good critical thinking, good problem
solving? How do we know? How do you
measure that? I don't know; but I think we
better find out, otherwise someone's going
to tell us . And we' re not going to like it,"
said Jervis.
The person responsible for the
assessments, Steve Hunter, Director of
Research and Planning, told the CPJ he
hoped the development of new methods of
assessment would not overshadow putting
current assessments to use. Prior instability
has made it difficult for upper administration
to provide leadership with the faculty in
tackling problems pointed out in previous
assessments. Now with President Jervis and
new elected Provost Barbara Smith filling
in the holes, Steve Hunter feels the time is
nigh to put the assessments to use. _

became verbally abusive and threate9ing in response to the
officers arresting the woman. He was "warned repeatedly to
disperse or he would be sprayed with Aeresol Subject
Restraint" according to the sheriff's report. He refused to
leave, continued to act in a threatening manner, was sprayed
with ASR and arrested for obstructing justice. This man was
also visibly intoxicated.
According to the Sheriff's report. during her ride to the
jail the woman "repeated not understanding why she was
going to jail for 'just being drunk'. "
" \t' s a concern because they were serious incidents
because there was assaultive behavior," said Art Costantino,
Vice President for Student Affairs .
There are other crimes being committed on campus,
such as the burning incident in Red Square. vandalism of
vehicles, theft. indecent exposure. and rape.
According to campus security and members of the
housing staff. many of the crimes here at TESC are not
committed by students, but by "outsiders," people not from
the Evergreen community.
Most of us here at TESC would like to think that thi s is
a safe community. that nothing could ever happen to us, but
that is not a realistic way of thinking. We are not separated
from society with walls other than the ones we raise in
our own minds.
In the end, we cannot expect the burden of protection
to fall entirely on Public Saftey or sheriff department
forces. We must learn to prevent crime and to protect
ourselves from it if we want to retain the kind of lifestyles
we hold as ideal.
"I think if there's a cautionary note in all of this for
students is to think twice about opening their apartments
to people they don't know well," said Costantino.
Public Safley has repeatedly stressed the need for
members of the Evergreen community to be aware of the
possible crime situations and to prevent them.
Pretending that the "outside world" cannot enter
and/or harm us here at Evergreen is naive and potentially
harmful.
You don't have to accept violence, but be aware that
it does exist, even here at Evergreen. Protect yourself,
and help prevent crime.
If we stop making it so easy for criminals, they won ' t
find it so tempting to victimize us. _
Some tips to keep safe:
•
• lock your doors,
• know the people you invite into your
home or apartment,
• lock your car,
• make sure valuables aren't in plain sight
• call for an escort when walking
anywhere at night,
• report suspicious activites you
see to the authorities,
• be an active participant and member of
your community,
• get to know your neighbors, apartment
mates and others in your area.
Q: Do you believe in programs aimed at preventing
the causes of crime?
.
A:
Are you stressed? Tense? Need something to
rejuvenate that dilapidated thing you once called
your brain? Well, for the cost of about two lattes
(that you don't need anyway. you ' re already tense)
you could have a ten-minute massage . Yes I said
massage. Now, don't let your imaginations run
awry. There are no oils involved, no steam baths,
and no women named Helga. Just ten of the most
relaxing minutes you've had in a long time.
This little slice of heavenly bliss is brought
to you by TESC's Well ness Program.
From 3-5pm on Wednesdays and Thursdays
in the library lobby, staff of Teresa Scharff &
Associates (licensed massage practitioners) will be
available to smooth away every ounce of tension
you may have.
Absolutely, As a former caseworker I've seen how effective good prevention
programs can be at reducing the causes of crime. We must continue to
mobilize the community to get at these causes and be more innovative in
preventing crime. My work for the Olympia Child Care Center and the
United Way and my financial support for Safeplace and activities like the '
Yelm Skateboard Park have been my personal contributions to making our
county a better and safer community.
Shiatsu massage is used, along with the sounds
of a new age tape, to drain all signs of stress. aches,
and strain from your poor mid-quarter bedeviled
body and brain.
They set you down in a portable massage chair,
ask you a few medical history questions, turn on the
tape, and it's "Calgon, Take Me Away-Land." Ten
minutes later, they wak.. you up, wipe your drool
off the arm rest, and you're ready to deal with your
little greener life again.
The cost is $5 for ten minutes , $8 for 15
minutes, $12 for 20 minutes. or $50 for a prepaid
package of five 20 minute sessions. Look at it as a
small sacrifice to retain your sanity and sense of
humor, especially now that the rainy gray days are
here with the mid-term blahs. _
Governance from cover
A supporter signs her nameto BertWHIiams'banner which proclaims,
"I work, I ride, I vote, Be very scared of me."
"It's a catch-22," he said. "we don't have sufficient
overwhelming participation to convince them [the
administration] and we don"t have the resources to put
toward membership campaigns."
Dante Sal vatierra, the coordinator of the S&A Ev'lfd,
explains that ESA has not recently attempted
to obtain funding.
"This year's board might be totally
cooperative," Salvatierra said. "I do believe
that there should be a form of student
government."
Members are frustrated by the lack. of
student support. They feel that Evergreen
students enjoy less freedom to determine their
education than they did a few years ago.
This could be due to a lack of student
power and participation in administrative
decision making. Imani feels that Evergreen
students should get involved with student
governance.

"Fuck the Constitution"
This poem is the result of my Political Economy and Social Change seminar in which
people didn't hear me. The result of the American dream, shattered in my face. The result of
an almost all white class completely ignorant to the fact that they have suppressed people of
color in this country. A result of the denial of colored folks. You must remember that as you

You are esteemed, loving this Constitution ,
by Cassidy Arkin
this capital that we Americans have created.
But among all of your smiles, and haughty vanities
Among all of "these" historical names, numbers and places you somehow seem to Jift
yourselves from my screams that turn into silence, from that Constitution you are so
amazed with.
A Constitution which stole land, never given to you,
never bought just taken.
So I sit here realizing that my browness ... slightly slanted
eyes ...frazzled hair is all yours.
I was considered your property,
YOUR RIGHT.
But here you stand, 200 odd years later,
with your hands in your fucking pockets,
still gawking over a stupid fucking document
which only included me as a criminal or property.
Vou sit here smiling.
Smiling for what?
that your people's Constitution put so much trust
or rather control,
so much whip into my back that I allowed it to control me.
That J finally broke down al}.d allowed myself to serve it,
to follow and abide by the Constitution.
And all I can think,
is that after all was written in this Constitution of yours,
the only good thing stated,

was the possibility for ratification...

this allowed us. the "inhuman, invisible monsters: to come up,

as a "sensitive" species on public lands (Forest
Service, Bureau of Land Management, etc.).
One subspecies, the Queen Charlotte Gos·
hawk. that lives along the British Columbian
and southern Alaskan coasts, has come under
intense pressure of late due to extensive log·
ging in both of these areas. Their population
is believed to be in sharp decline and many en·
vironmental groups have recently petitioned
the federal government to list the Queen Char·
lotte Goshawk as an en·
dangered specie : As long
by
as the Endangered Species
Jay
Act remains strong after
Carlisle this next reauthorization
session, this move would
grant the bird mu ch

The goshawk is regarded by many bird
and wildlife lovers as a fierce and beautiful bird.
The large female is an agressive defender of the
nest area and will dive at and even strike in·
truders, including humansl Goshawks have
relatively short, rounded wings that enable
them to fit through tight places and a long tail
that acts as a rudder as they weave between
branches in their flight. They have powerful
talons (claws) and are able to kill prey up to 4x
their weight, including snowshoe hare, pheas·
ant and grouse.
As it stands now, the future of the gos·
hawk is unstable: especially if our forests con·
tinue to be gobbled up by the money·hungry
corporations and the Canadian and U.S. gov·
ernments that cater to them. Goshawks and
the other beings that inhabit mature forest ecosystems do not deserve th is fa te
Picture a mature conifer forest. A
steller's jay flies frantically through branches
as it is pursued by a larger bird. Soon the hawk
has hit the jay and brought it to a downed log.
It stands above the jay, wings lowered to hide
its prey from other predators, and its scarlet
eyes glare in contrast to its silver-blue feathers.
This is the northern goshawk, an ex·
tremely powerful hawk that dwells in the for·
est. Like the much
talked about northern

on mature/ old growth

Gos hawks hunt these
forests and adjacent clearings/ meadows for the
many birds and small mammals that make up
their diet.
The nesting season begins early in the

sprucing up of old nests with new twigs). Gos·
hawks are solitary birds in the fall and winter
and don't breed until their third year
Northern goshawks are native to
North America as well as northern Europe. In
the eastern U.S., the goshawk is beginning to
recover as the forests that had been devastated
over a century ago are coming back into rna·

This is good news. But in the western U.S.,
large-scale logging operations have severely reo

Writer asks what is wrong with Evergreen
by Baruch Ra-el Thunderstorm Cahn
CPJContributor
What is wrong at Evergreen? The students don 't take the
responsibility that Evergreen demands of them . What do I
mean by that?
Evergreen is funded on certain principles and the essential
principle is that people are human beings first and teachers
and students second. Therefore, we should all have the free
access to knowledge, self·authority and respect that human
beings everywhere have, from birth.
The things that have happened during this experiment
that some teachers and educators dreamed up in 1967 have
not been all that positive. Because this is a state school it is
underappreciated by both students and outsiders alike.
However, if the students lead, the teachers will follow.

Let's show the world that our generation is the generation

John Young was treated with disrespect here at Evergreen.
He asked for one hundred dollars to share his wisdom with the
Evergreen community and instead we wouldn't pay but $75. Is
this because he is a naturalist being funded through the Peace
Center or because Evergreen doesn 't have enough money? Well
it is definitely not the latter, so what is it?

Graduate programs need technology
by David L. Morse
Evergreen Graduate Student
As I write this, on the AT&T pc6300 in the MES students
room, I wonder what we students actually need in the way of
technology. Yes, I know we are the Graduate Program and as
such should have the ability to communicate with the outside
world. And yes, we are looked to as a resource both by the
Evergreen commllnity and others. That we are more than one
hundred strong, yet have but one small lounge , no library study
room , and only this antiquated machine which is incapable of
joining the network, does not depress me. On the contrary, I
am emboldened to action by the seemingly daunting task of
"an Upgrade:
One would usually consider the Graduate Program as
being a recipie~t of the first, or at least the second string pick
in technology. It strikes one as sensible to esteem a graduate
program as producer of individuals initiated to their field at its
modem standard. It was a simple oversight I'm sure. Our task
is to remind those who share our goals ofsuperb education that
they have on site a top-notch roup ofgrad students who deserve
support.
It is not that we wouJdn't get excellent technicaJ support,
nor that it would not be timely, but that the coordination of
factors. - proposal. recognition, authorization , funding,
logistics, implementation, training, is so energy consumptive.
This I believe is the reason that until now, this need has not
been addressed. We have the energy, the will, and the talent to
do great things individually and as a class. After recruitil'lg such
quality in its graduate student body, I'm sure that the college
would recognize the folly of not supporting their academic
development by providing technology more in line with their
counterparts in the real world.

An open leerer to th~ management at Olympia s
downtown IT station,
On Oct. 14,1 rode my bicycle to the Olympia bus stop
and arrived just in time to catch my bus. I looked around
for a place to quickly lock up my bicycle and saw that there
was one bike rack, but it was absolutely full of bicycles. As
a resuJt, I ended up locking my bicycle to the nearest and
only other likely object- the arm rest of a bench. I caught
my bus, and when.I returned a couple of hours later a
security officer was there, telling me that if I ever locked
my bike to the bench again "security" (which I assumed
was him) would cut the Jock and take my bike.
I am outraged at this treatment. Apparently nobody
who makes the rules at IT is a bicycle rider because I am
being treated as if. as a bike rider, I am "the evil other" rather
than a fellow IT rider. Since this bus stop is public property,
paid for by my tax doUars and especiaHy since my bicycle
not an inconvenience, I fail to see how culling my lock and
taking my bike would not be considered destruction of
personal properlY and outright theft-not to mention just
plain inconsiderate and nasty.
One of the reasons IT is an asset to ollr rommuniy i
because when people ride the bus it cuts down on pollution,
which happens to be a good reason why peopJe ride bikes
as well. Riders should be seen as co-conspirators in the figh t
against carbon monoxide rather than as some sort of pest
which must be controlled and kept in its place. Since IT's
only rack is filled up on an average weekday morning, the
blls stop obviousJy needs another rack, rather than a petty
and vindictive possy of security personel anned with bolt
cutters and possessing a totaJ disrespect for their fellow
humans because they happen to be ...what? Bicycle riders?
Students? Not wearing a business suit? My bicycle is my
main mode of transportation, so you can imagine that to
me the prospect ofhaving my bicycle impounded Jike this
Is akin to someone having his or her car towed for parking
in what looked like a perfectly legaJ spot. not to mention
the promised destruction of an expensive lock.
The million dolJar Olympia bus stop has neglected to
provide the racks which were available at the Columbia
strttt station. One can guess from thi and from the afore
mentioned disrespectful treatment, that IT is trying to
discour.age people from riding bicycles, and doe n't actuaUy
care one bit about reducing pollution. Thi is absurd. IT
wants its riders to be happy and produce minimum
pollution. IT doesn't want bikers to get angry because a
hundred bikes got scratched.
Respect your fellow humans; get another bike rack.
Give your officers riding lessons; then they will ~ that
bikers are not children who need to be diSCiplined but
working members of the community just like them.
I would gnady appreciate a response to this letter so
that I can be assured that my tax dollars are actually paying
someone to run this station and that that person considers
his/ber job to be a ~u ofserving the commuity.

Red Sgua~e arson victim Arson unfairly silenced
Red Square protestor
deserves to be heard
Dear Editor:
It's good to finally see open discussion
of the Paul Ingram case in this county. While
the case receives ongoing international
attention, locally it has been wrapped in
Orwellian silence. The witch hunt against
Paul Ingram and two others repl'e$ented such
an outrageous abuse of state power that few
people have had the cour.age to publicly raise
the issue.
Like Carol Poole, I admire Chuck Noah
for putting himselfon the line for something
he believes in. I commend cpJ reporter Mark
Gardiner for his excellent article about the
violent attempt to intimidate Noah into
silence. I also commend Carol Poole and Beth
Brown for having the courage to put their
disagreement with Noah into print, in the
light of day, rather than engaging in a
cowardJy attack at night, as another of his
critics did. As Nat HentoffcontinualJy points
out, we should fight ideas we abhor with
other ideas, not by suppressing them.
Brown refers to Ingram as a "convicted
baby mutilator and sexual offender." Paul
Ingr::m mutilated no babies. He was
convicted on six counts of third degree rape
on the basis ofa coerced confession. In reality,
there is no more real evidence that he was a
sexual predator than, say, Martin Luther King
or Catherine MacKinnon.
People who take Ingram's confession as
proof of his guilt, might consider the
celebrated case of Gerry Conlon, who was
convicted of being a terrorist bomber on the
basis of his confession. Are we to take his
story, told in the book and movie, In The
Nam~ ofth~ Father, as a cynicaJ fraud?
I've recently undertaken a fairly
intensive comparative study of coerced
confessions, and am convinced that the
necessary common elements exist in more
than ample measure in Paul I:ngram's case.
Some of the most dramatic evidence for
Ingram's innocence can be found in the
transcripts of the police interrogations.
Anyone can view these, and other documents
relating to Ingram's case, at the Thurston
County Courthouse, and r would encourage
people to do so.
In response to Carol Poole, there
certainly is a False Memory Syndrome. I
suggest she attend the International
Conference on FMS this December in
Baltimore, co-sponsored by the False
Memory Syndrome Foundation (FMSF) and
the Johns Hopkins Medical Institute in
Baltimore.
Nobody in the FMSF is suggesting the
rejection offorensic evidence of abuse. They
urge a closer examination of such evidence.
Nobody is calling for the rejection of
memQry as evidence, but rather, that in its
acceptance, we also take into account
currently available knowledge of how
memory really works, and demand
corroborative evidence.
Poole finds Chuck Noah to be
"incoherent. " "paranoid" and "no threat to
anyone's credibility except, perhaps, his
own.' If this were so, why would anyone feel
the need to silence him? I find Chuck to be a
lucid, impassioned man, committed to the
progressive values of civil liberties and free
speech. He's from the working class, tbe kind
ofguy Evergreen students like to imagine they
have a special affinity for.
Who is paranoid? Noah, who has seen
how an erroneous belief system backed by
state power has destroyed people's lives or the
witch hunters who zealously round up the
innocent in pursuit of imagined occult
criminals?
Chuck will talk with anybody, Why not
engage in dialog with him; "reason together,"
as he requests. You might change your mind
about some things. Is that what critics fear?
Sincerely,
ManLove

Jt was with shock, shame, and sadness
that I read in the Olympian about an arson
on campus here at TESC. In Red Square, a
trailer covered with protest signs was burned
to the ground. The trailer had been parked on
campus all day. The signs protested the fact
that recovered memories were being used to
accuse and convict people of child abuse,
sexual assault, and occult·inspired violence
and sexuaJ abuse. The trailer was set on fire at
about three in the morning. The scorch marks
are still on the ground.
I don't wish to trivialize the problems of
child abuse or rape. I don 't imagine that
anyone wouJd. These acts tear at the fabric of
our society: I myseJfhave been a victim of such
acts, as have other members of my family. I
would agree with the gentleman who was
protesting, however, that recovered
memories, that is, memories of painful trauma
that are so horrible that they are locked out of
the conscious mind and later recovered with
the help of therapy, have not as yet been
scientifically proven to be accurate or reliable.
I would say that it is certainly possible that
they arE' accurate and reliable, but it is also
possible that they are created or suggested
during an impressionable time of therapy. I
would like to see research done on the subject
and I would like not to see recovered
memories being used as the sole evidence to
convict people ofcrimes that might have never
happened.
I tried to attend a screening here on
campus, put on by a gtoup called RRC, of a
film that I believe was the about this subject
(I'm not sure, the fliers were a bit vague on this
point), but it was indefinitely postponed.
RegardJess of the issue being discussed,
and regardless of where any of us stand on the
issue, as Americans and espeCially as TESC
students and faculty, we should be saddened
and angered by the attack on free speech that
this arson incident was. SiJencing the opposing
viewpoint by an act of violence is wrong. One
of the most speciaJ things about our school is
the open environment of discussion we have.
People have great opportunities for expressing
ideas that they fell passionately about. But this
week someone took it upon themselves to
decide what ideas are acceptable for expression
on campus. This person was confronted with
an opinion that he or she disliked, and decided
that you and I should not be exposed to it.
All it took to silence discussion was a can
of gasoline and a match. This would not scare
me so much ifit were a right wing fanatic. A
religious kook with a gun killing an abortion
doctor scares me, but no less than this incident.
That is because I know what the religious kook
is about and I know how to fight him. He tells
me that the bible is the most important thing
and he wiIJ do anything he can to make the
worJd follow it. I can argue to the world why
he is wrong, and I can watch him and be ready
for him. But at TESC, we are supposed to have
a place where different views are debated, not
destroyed. We are supposed to have a place
where we can be who we are, say what we feel ,
and think what we want. This week, this is not
the kind of place we have.

CPJ warps gaming reality
Dear Editor,
I write this letter in response to your
calendar of the last issue of the CPJ.
I object to the calendar entry that your
calendar editor, Nathan Woods, put in for our
event. While I realize that you have space
restrictions, I feel that your entry wa s
inaccurate for the following reasons:
1) The event was billed as a games night
on the flyer. Calling it a ~Geocon meeting"
doesn't tell anyone what it actually is.
2) Saying "There will be food" is a bit
misleading. Yes, people there were some
munchies there for the general populace, and
people not participating in the potluck.
However, a lot of the food there was part of a
potluck advertised in our flyer, the implicit
assumption being that people should donate
to the potluck, as it said in the flyer. The last
thing we want is lots of people descending on
ollr potluck event expecting to be fed. and
being disappointed when we say, "Sorry, it's a
potluck; you have to bring food ."
I would be much happier with an entry
like this: Saturday, Oct. 22 Geocon Games
night. CAB 108/110, 6 pm·midnight. Gamt's,
movies, potluck and munchies.
This is not too wordy, but it does convey
the general sense of what our event was about.
I know your calendar complier works hard, but
is it too much to ask for him to actually try to
actually give details about the events that are
posted in it?

Talmadge needs your vote
by David L. Edwards
CPJ Contributor
Evergreen students should be aware that
they have a very clear and critical choice in at
least one of the State Supreme Court contests
this November, and the outcome could have a
serious impact on the future ofenvironmental
protection in Washington State.
Phil Talmadge is a long· time legislator
and appellate attorney, and recognized legal
scholar. In the State ofWa hington he chaired
the Senate law and justice committee for many
years. While he has been an activist in such
causes as eliminating child pornography, child
abuse and racketeering, his penchant for
independent decision-making. sometimes to
the dismay of those who put party unity first
attests to his fitness for a high court post. He
was given an outstanding rating by the King
County bar association, which rated his
opponent, Jeanette Burrage, "unqualified."
Burrage is five years out oflaw school. has
virtually no court room experience. She has
minimal legislative experience, but most of her
energy goes into her "Wise Use" oriented
Northwest Legal Foundation, dedicated to
assuring that speculative land values are not
limited by environmental protection
measures. She has the endorsement of the
Christian Coalition's legai adjunct group.
Land·use issues will inevitably crowd the
Court's docket in the foreseeable future, and
these cases will require studious even·handed
attention. Apartisan zeaJot like Burrage would
be a poor choice indeed.
If Washington voters are awake at the
switch, Talmadge should not only win; he
shoWd win big. Greeners can help make this
happen.

An Evergreen soccer player kicked a
ball straight toward my head during
'laturday's game against Western. I loved
It.
I'm not a very athletic person . The
extent of my sports career was shooting
hoops with my dad in the backyard. We'd
play 21. and generally he'd let me win.
Being assigned to take pictures of
men's soccer was just another photo
assignment at first-a chance for me to
practice photography for the newspaper.
Never having taken sports pictures
before. I didn't quite know where to star!. I
wandered around the field looking for the
perfect shot. I stationed myself next to
Western's goal.
The goalie screamed and jumped
around a lot. "Get it out of here I Get it out
ofherel" he would yeU every time the ball
got in his half of the field. It was quite
amusing. He appeared to be a very stressfilled individual.
I watched the game through my
telephoto lens. a cinemascope movie filled
from edge-to-edge with adventure. Soccer
isn't boring. Sports don't suck.
Evergreen scored their first of two
goals while I was reloa~ing film. I was
pissed that I didn't get the scoring shot, but
I was psyched for the point.
The game had become more than just
an assignment. Through the process of
watching the game I was transfonned into
something I didn't know existtd--a fan of
the fighting geoducks.
Evergreen went on to win the game,
2-1, furthering their chances of being playoff contenders. The game was exciting and
well played.
Sports at Evergreen are often ignored
and I've managed to do so for the past three
years. If you give them a chance, though,
even if by accident, youll find they hold a
lot offun for your Saturday afternoons.

La,t Saturday the men's rugby team
traHled to Walla Walla only to be
disappointrd by an incompetrnt referee
and inhospitable Whitman hosts. Both
teams were confident in their ability to score
as they took the pitch. Whitman surprised
Evergreen in the first few minutes of the
match by scoring a lTy and a conversion.
Evergreen quickly responded by running a
·weak" play on a give and go between the
scrumhalfMoine Riley and flyhalfTed Hart
ending in a score by Chris Haslet in the
corner. Moine Riley also scored later in the
game and Darren Armin worked with
Evergreen's dominate pack to score twice.
As the scoring continued to go back and
forth Evergreen was able to keep the
momentum the majority of the match.
Evergreen held a three point lead with
ten minutes left in the game but
unfortunately Whitman managed a few
breakaways and scored two more times to
end it 30-22. What frustrated Evergreen
more than Whitman'sspeedy backs was the
refe(ee's inability to enforce the rules.
Countless times Whitman players would
jump off sides spoiling Evergreen's attempts
to win ball. Fortunately Evergreen will
appeal to the league and count the game as
a draw because there was not an official
referee to call the game. This Saturday the
men's team plays host to Lewis and Clark
on the main fields.

Despite the Vikings' best defensive efforts. Evergreen took the lead 1-0 in the first half
when Sean Huff scored off a header. Midway through the second half. Western tied the score
at I-Ion a goal from Peter Deed. Minutes later, Evergreen responded with a goal from John
Iiall to seal the virtory.
The Geoducks boast an impressive 10-7 record for the season .
According to the coach. with only two returning seniors . Hall and Andy Klubberud. and six
starting freshmen. the young team has impressed both fans and opponents alike. "The team
kind of sucked last year. but boy are they doing well now." remarked one spectator. "their
games are really fun to watch.·
Coach Arno Zoske credits their success with quick thinking: "Soccer is like a giant chess
game where 20 people are making moves all at once. We only have seconds to evaluate the
situation and make a good decision!"
Reflecting on Saturday's win, freshman defensive power-house David Zumwalt stated,

We will alwaY5 have Pari5
by Naomi Ishisaka
It's funny that on a
campus which claims to be
open· minded , inclusive
and involved in the fight
against so ci al injustice,
Priorit4
th ere is such a general
dislike of rap mllsic.
Regardl ess of its recent multitude of
incarnations, rap began as a way for urban
black youth to express their anger and
fru stration about a racist, classist and
degrading society.
As in any genre of music, there has been
much growth and change in rap. There is
gangsta , but there is funk-influenced rap,
jazz-influenced rap, a plethora of successful
women rappers, mini-rappers (Kriss Kross)
and just about every other group under the
sun trying to make it as rappers.
Throughout rap's life, despite attempts
by people of all colors to paint rap as a
monolithic entity and a menace to society, it
continues to express anger about a racist,
classist and degrading society.
Which brings me to Paris.
When Paris found his way into the CPj's
mail amid press releases and other assorted
boring crap I was very excited.
In the latest VIBE magazine there was
a review of sorts of his new album Guerrilla
Funk, calling Paris the "black panther of hiphop." Over the years, Paris had become a
kind of legend for being dropped from
Tommy Boy Records and refusing
promotion by other labels in order to
preserve the political content of his music
and the cover of his first album Sleepingwich
Paris
the Enemy. The cover
depicted Paris with a gun
ready to shoot a smiling,
waving, Georgt Bush for
his economic policies
affecting the underclass.
he
Rec.ords signed Finally,
with Priority
Records and started his
own label. Scarface. He began rapping while
at UC Davis getting his economics degree.
He started because of his desire to merge
social commentary and rap. He doesn't fall
short of his mission.
Looking at the liner notes you can tell
where he's coming from. His main concerns:
1) Revolution
2) Questioning authority
3) Educating yourself and others
4) The state of the black community
So with the exception of the last point,
these are things the average Greener would
be interested in or symflathetic to, yet when
the idea of playing this man's music is
brought up, all I hear is a collective groan.
How can we say we're not racist and
privileged when we reject an easy, important,
first step into understanding another group's
culture?
It's arguable of course, but I think that
even in a highly subjective medium like
music, you can choose to listen to groups you
may know little or nothing about. This could
enhance your understanding of other
cultural arenas.
Saying, "I just don 't like that kind of
music," is a cop out. Have you tried to like
it? Do all your friends hate it too?
But about the album ... it was great. The
by Robert M Keefe
Guerilla Funk
album title however, is totally misleading.
"Funk" seems to be a pretty loose term these
days and certainly is here. There is only one
track, Guerrilla Funk (Deep Fo ' Real mix),
that remotely resembles funk. If you aren't a
big fan 0' funk, the other tracks will make up
for it.
The lyrics are highly political. talking
about urban life, violence in the inner city
and the need for education and revolution.
The music is tight, well constructed and
shows off Paris' producing and mixing
ability.
My favorite track on Guerrilla Funk was
"Outta my Life." It is a lethargic, mellow cut
that owes a lot to its R&B sample but works
well with Paris' rapping.
If you don't think you like rap, try this
album. It's political, musical and a good intro
to the kind of positive messages you can find
in the very diverse rap industry of today.
Their tongues' ticking legato over
pauses-twothreeone
twothreeone
twothreeone-was an incessant undercurrent
to Thursday's performance by Wayne
Horvitz and the New York Composers
Orchestra (NYCO) West. Like Glenn Gould
humming, all members of the orchestra
(comprised of bass, drums, piano, and 10piece horn section) infected the habit of
counting between notes in the measure.
(Though the effect was affected visually and
not aurally.) This recitative: the evening's
counterpoint. A dozen parishioners
chanting prayers over the ledger's rosary.
Religious flights ofecstasy were not out
of place for the full house crowd in the recital
hall at TESC in this season's second
successful event sponsored by Evergreen
Expressions.
Though the Roman Catholic Church is
reluctant over leadership by women clergy,
Robin Holcomb shared with Wayne Horvitz
roles of piano playing and conducting (more
than half the pieces). The program opened
with the first of her two compositions
presented, "First Program in Standard
\ :\ :\ () l
. Time." She led the 12' deftly through this
pastoral piece.
Holcomb and Horvitz created the
NYCO project in 1986 to provide, as the
name implies, an orchestra for composers.
Their duality in co-direction is mirrored in
the bicoastal nature of the ensemble(a New
Yo~k City based recording and performing
umt and, through collaboration with Rob
Blakeslee and the Pacific Rim Ensemble, a
west coast performing unit).
The band eased without fanfare into
three-tiered rows like stagehands, not
dressed to the nines but as if ready for an
evening at the 4th Ave Tav. This dualism in
presentation-is it a chamber orchestra or jazz
ensemble?-perhaps confused the audience at
first, responding with polite applause for the
first few pieces.
It wasn't until Greg Powers exhaled the
burn of his throat to slide fire into his
trombone solo during "Fever," that the
audience applauded with reveling abandon.
The heat rose to a point ofloosening viscosity
that lasted through the evening.
The orchestration allowed all the
performers many chances at solos (except for
Cyndy Jefferson's French horn). Most

notable were Skerik blowing the baritone
and tenor saxes in a manner as whimsical as
the purple shoes he wore and Craig Flory's
clarinet magic during the Bill Frisell
compostion, "Jimmy Carter/Where in the
World." He produced sounds never heard in
a chamber orchestra, nor thought possible.
But it was the overall collaboration, the
continuous pump of valves fueling the Dr.
~eussian mechanical creation-triple sling
Jigger, utterly sputter, bitsy big boy
boomeroo-that the orchestra became the
modern Prometheus, that freakish
Frankenstein.
Ah, it was a thing of beauty.
Horvitz, decked totally cas', saved his
sparks for the final pieces of each of the two
sets: "Prodigal Son Revisited" and "Don't
Stop Know." Both were driving up tempo
numbers.
By the evidence of this night, Horvitz
has certainly found a perfect ensemble for
his talents. One could say the NYCO is more
"conservative" than the work he did in
President and Pigpen', but it is a
conservativism that allows formal
constraints to .orchestration, without
dressing the part. His ensemble can tick their
