On Thursday, Oct. 13 shortly after 1:20
am Chuck Noah's trailer was burned . His
trailer displayed signs explaining his
innocence in accusations that he sexually
abused his daughter.
Tammy Stretch was the first officer on
the scene and found Noah's trailer engulfed in
flames.
Attached to the tarp were flyers that
read. "Rape victims we believe you." All empty
can of gasoline was also found at the scene.
That evening, around 1:20 am a woman
was witnessed looking under the tarp. Shortly
after, the witness (who's name is being held by
Public Saftey) reported seeing the trailer set
ablaze. The security report lists this unknown
woman as the only suspect.
Noah made Evergreen one of his many
stops in a campaign to protest his innocence.
According to Noah, he was immediately

Jervis rea.cts to the Board's
decision on conversion
CPJ COIl tributor
"[think it was the right decision,·
said President Jane Jervis, speaking of the
Board of Trustees , decision for Evergreen
to stay on a quarter calendar.
'"QI
Jervis, who recommended to the ~
board that that Evergreen switch to a ~
semester system said, "In the long run, I VI
think it is in Evergreen's best interests to ~
o
be on a semester system for the reasons I .c
laid but in my memorandum to the ~
community that we are being expected to 0
do more and more with less and less
resources ... But given the deep division
within the faculty and the' strong
opposition from ~ome students, I think it
was probably the right thing for the board
to decide."
The division within the faculty was
evident in the 49-41 vote last spring in
favor of the conversion. "I could see
advantages and disadvantages on both sides
and 1 really waffled," said faculty member
Meg Hunt, who voted to keep the quarter
system. "[n the end, I think I was influenced
by what I thought the students wanted."
"There was a very vocal group of
students who hated the idea of semesters,"
said faculty member Gail Tremblay, who
also voted to stay with quarters, "but I'm not
sure if that group was really representative
of the feelings of the whole student body. 1
know some faculty were concerned that
students were not consulted enough."
Jervis, however, said she thinks
students were heard. "We heard loud and
clear from some students. Ithink there was
plenty of time for students to be consulted.
We had forums last spring ... and heard a
lot of input from students. 1don't think that
if we kept this conversation going for six
more months we would have heard anything
different ... we haven 't heard any new
arguments from students since last April."
The 4·3 vote to stay with quarters
marked the first occasion in which the Board
TESC President Jane Jervis
ofTrustees decided against President Jervis'
recommendation.
"I do not in any way feel that this is a
repudiation of me or the administration by
the board," said Jervis.
Tremblay agreed that that the board's
ruling had not called Jervis' credibility into
question. "These kinds of decisions are
complicated and I think the faculty
understood that the President had many
important issues to consider," she said.
The decision seems to have convinced
some individuals that the board had not
been made up its mind in advance. "I think
a lot of students felt that changing to
semesters was a done deal." says TESC
student Paul Marcontell. "1 think the
hearing showed that Evergreen is not a
monolithic establishment and th at the
administration does not necessarily have
the last word."
"I think that the decision sholVs that
the Board of Trustees is responsive to
students and what they say and that choice
is important," said Tremblay. •

Commentary
On· Oct. 13, John Stoltenberg spoke at
TESC. Soltenberg is the author of several
books which deal with the subject of
manhood. He feels that the popular myth of
manhood is one of the most destructive
concepts which exists today.
Stoltenberg has written three books so
far. Refusing To Be A Man : Essays On Sex
And Justice was published in 1989. The End
Of Manhood: A Book For Men Of
Conscience came out in 1993. The latest
book is titled What Makes Pornography
"Sexy" ?
When I first heard about Stoltenberg I
was fairly skeptical. After all, someone who
refers to men as "penised people" sounds like
he might be a couple cans short of a six-pack.
I envisioned a tweaked-out New-Ager who
would advocate spiritual castration as a
means to attain social harmony, a la Prozac.
The reality is more rational. Essentially,
Stoltenberg's premise is that all men in our
society are taught the cult of machismo.
This form of socialization shows up in
a variety of self-destructive ways, from driveby shootings to date rape to nuclear-

unique study.
Sto ltenberg created a work shop in
which male participants are asked to assume
the same poses which are found in the
average copy of Playboy or Hustler.
Other participants watch and make
helpful comments so that true artistic
conformity is reached. Needless to say, it is

Larry Eickstaedl came to TESC in 1970
as a part oflhe planning faculty. He came from
New York where he had been teaching at Old
Westbury, an experimental college.
"I wasn'l particularly happy in New York,
and Washington sounded very appealing. I was
very interested in being involved in carrying
out education in a new way," said Eickstaedt.
When TESC opened, the library building
was not completed and programs had to find
alternat ive meeting places. Eickstaedt said,
"We spent the first week meeting at a Girl Scout
.camp, and then moved to an Episcopal Church
here in town. We held sem inars in Sunday
school rooms, and Phil Harding actually gave
a drawing workshop from the pulpit."
'The students then were very much like
pioneers. Everything was up for grabs, nobody
had ever done it before. We were inventing as
we went along. Evergreen was the new college
in Washington and we were doing things
radically differenl than any other school," said
Eickstaedt.
"I'm very surprised that it's my 25th year
here and we're still as close to the original
vision of coordinated studies as we were in the
beginning. In the '70s and 'SOs there was
pressure to close Evergreen or turn it into a
traditional school or stale offices. It seemed
that every legislative session had a new bill
before it to close or rearrange Evergreen,"
Eickstaed t said.
Eickstaedt misses the sense of
community of the past.
"Everybody pretty much knew what was
happening throughout the whole school then.
Over the years most of us lost touch with what
was happening with other programs. I'd like
to see more interaction between faculty, staff
and students. to attempt to try to return the
sense of community we had," said Eickstaedt.
Regarding his time here at Evergreen,
Eickstaedt said "It's been great! After 24 years
I'm still excited to be here, planning ahead,
thinking of people I want to teach with." <8
Men's Rugby savors 51-0 victory
There was no question as to who
controlled the pitch in Portland last weekend,
as Gangreen rugby sailed past Lewis and
Clark 51-0. Although strong overall
teamwork contributed to the victory, the true
warriors of the match were the team's
scrambling forwards, who scored seven of
the eight tries.
Ted Hart, an observant center, noted
that. "we had superb loose play, managing
to continually move the ball the lenglh of
the field without loosing possession.
Excellent passing, consolidation of the ball
in the rucks and malls, and especia ll~ the
inability of Lewis and Clark to tackle our
bigger forwards gave us control of the
match."
Man Underwood, a novice rugger
playing only his second match ever. was
outstanding in the lock position scoring his
first, but definately not last tryo Pablo Perez
sco red three times for Evergreen. Kema
Stone twice, Moine Scrumhalt and Josh
Levy each contributed one try in the match.
Gangreen rugby will travel to Eastern
Washington this weekend to play Whitman
College in Walla Walla.

CPJ distorts Columbus Day event
We are writing in response to the article in volume 25 issue
3 of the Cooper Point journal on page 5, titled "Native Student
Alliance offers gifts in protest of Columbus Day."
First. the gathering was not in any way a protest, it was
our way of showing that we were not mourning or angry, due
to Columbus Day. We were showing our strength as
descendants offirst nation people. We were standing together
In umty. In honor of our ancestors and for the land we live on.
We received the support and were honored by a good man
whose people have continuously lived on "Evergreen land" since
the beginning of time.
Also. this gathering was not directed at Evergreen "white"
students. It was a Give-away ceremony aimed at the people of
all nations. We see this statement as a direct attempt to create
division between people of all nations, including whites. We
feel your article misstates the true nature of our ceremony.
We came together with a good heart, offering things that
are sacred to us . It was not an "Indigenous People's Day
ceremony" that "conveyed the message 'Columbus is dead.'"
Rather, we acted to honor a way that has been a part of this
land for many generations.
We wish to honor our ancestors this way, and show our
strength as a people. We have, and will continue to stand
together in unity. We are descendants from the people, we have
survived 502 years ofgenocide. We were, are, and will continue
to stand together, strong, in honor and respect for our
ancestors and all our relatives. We were there to offer to all
people who now live with Turtle Island.

Arson violated Red Square
protestor's rights to speak freely
An eccentric's one-man protest was burned down this
week on our campus. The man, whom I know only as "the False
Memory guy," was advoca ting a line of thought which I
personally find repugnant. For the uninitiated, the issue in
question is recovered memories by adults of rape (or other
traumatic events) in childhood. As one of the people who have
remembered abuse, and believing as I do that family violencr
is just an especially unpleasant facet of the generally ignored
reality of torture and political violence that pervades our world,
I resent the tactics of many of those who claim that there is such
a thin g as "False Memory Synd rome" - not merely false
memory, mind you, but a syndrome. an illness. Even if one
throws out all subjective evidence, including memory, 'as
unreliable, enough forensic evidence exists to compel belief that
Ameri cans are as lost and tragically inept, sometimes, with our
children as we are with our pets, our neighboring nations and
our rivers. The "False Memory" people do not deny that child
abuse happrns; they just construct arguments for discrediting
any individual's testimony. The movement's leading "expert."
Dr. Loftus of the University of Washington . specializes in
discrediting the testimony of victims in product-liability suits'
as well as child ab use cases. In all fairness, I should point out
that the context for their concern is the court room, and I have
my own questions about what happens when memory
becomes evidence, subject to interrogation, and manipulation
by people with motives to "find" guilt.
But I'm digressing. Regardless of the repellent (to me)
nature of the False Memory Trailer's line of thinking. I am
repelled in a much more seriou s way by the arson that was
apparently intended to shut the man's mouth. Where is the
beauty or truth in destroying someone's art-because that's
what the trailer was, so imbued with personality that it frankly
warmed my heart to see it, even while its message tested my
patience. The signs. with their impass ioned incohrrence, their
paranoid flight s of "fact." were always interesting. and often
funny, and as far as I ca n see no threat to anyone's credibility
except, perhaps, his own. He was putting him self on the line
for so met hing he felt strongly about I honor his courage and
commitment, if not his reasoning. I want to see that courage
in people on my side of this issue. When we "take out" people
merely for sayi ng things we don't like to hear. we create an
uninhabitable climate for ourselves, a climate in which
eve ryone must be afraid to speak and think.

Contrary to CPJ article; Public
Safety has the power to arrest
I would like to offer a couple point s of clarification in
relation to a short article about Public Safcty that appeared
in th e Oct. 6 issuf:' of the CPJ.
Our past status has clearly been a source of confusion
with some unique situations such as commissioned polin'
office rs working in a non -law enforcement "sf:'c urity "
departmrnt. As indicated however, for many years prior to
the Board'~ resolution in 1992 to create our own campus law
enforcement entity. officers were commissioned by the coun ty
Sheriff as special deputies empowering them to perform
necessary police function s on campus.
.
Sherifr 's deputies were ca lled to campus in th e past as
they curren tly are, to assist and provide backup to camp us
u ffi cer~ when dealing wit h more seriou s situations. Con trary
to the articl e. the Sheriff's commission did vest arrest powers
with t he officers hence their state classification as state police

Dear Jane,
One might say that 1 am comparing apples and
oranges, but I am, in fact questioning what exactly
Evergreen's "core values" are. In doing this, I refer to your
response-letter to the community, regarding the fire that
was set in red square early last Thursday morning. The fire,
you wrote, "represents an extreme act of intolerance,
violating Evergreen's core values." '
Well, Jane, if freedom of expression is your main
concern here, then I detect a contradiction. Have you
forgotten that you recently supported a change in the
campus graffiti policy which includes the prohibition of
chalking?
I believe that the outr;lge of the person who set the
fire is undoubtedly justified, and I can also see that you, as
an administrator, have a reputation to uphold and cannot
allow fires to be set, as it gives the impression that your
students are unruly and that you do not have complete
(ontrol over what happens on campus_ However, I do not
unde~stand how it is that you can preach about the
"expression ofall views" and at the same time prohibit such
a harmless act of expression as chalking.
The chalk usually wears away within two days from
being stepped on and/or rained on. So what is the problem?
Is it that you can t stand to read Queer-Friendly graffiti on
your way to the CAB for lunch? Or maybe that you don't
want to be reminded that christopher columbus didn't
discover america on your way back to your office with a full
belly? Is it just an annoyance to you? To be honest, and not
to offend you, chalk expression is not nearly so annoying
as those screaming, frothing rightwingers who come to
campus to condemn us all to hell. Nor is it so offensive as
the sick and dangerous activities of those who come to
perpetuate ignorance, denial and negation around issues
of abuse. Yet these -like the man who stood in red square
all day .defending a convicted baby-mutilator and sexual
offender - are the people who yo u seem intent on
protecting.
.
Why is it that one act ofoutrage in which a trailer was
burned to ashes can immediately move you to speak - or
write - to the "Evergreen Community" about the freedom
of speech when issues of abuse that affect people's well
being. rather than their property. are kept so hush-hush
around here? And, suddenly, chaJking is no lon ger
acceptable.
[s freedom of expression really your main concern
here. Jane? If so. exactly whose freedom are you trying to
protect? Please let me know so that I can tell my friends
and loved ones, once and for all, without any fancy.
"progressive" rhetoric, exactly what "Evergreen's core
va lues" are.

Some thoughts on
gay contributions ...
by Jay Rehnberg
CPJ Contributor
The article [wrote and submitted (CPI
Oct. 6) didn't really come across the way it
was meant. The missing few lines didn't
help, but I accidentally left out what ended
up being an important "can't~ at one point
("1 just... relate to my avoid at aU costs
attitude") which seemed to at least influence
the perceptions of the people at the CP]
enough to focus the title they gave the thing.
Anyway, who cares,l just wanted to clear the
air about It. With that aside ...

It is so refreshing to see a place like that
around here. 1
think that our
overall population could use so
much moreintluence by its gay
population. 'Sure
it is (the gay lifestyle that is)
pretty well contradictory to so
much of what is
considered "mainstream" culture, I think it's
great. The whole gay issue does everyone so
much good, just by clarifying sides and issues. "Jesus, please save me from your followers." By bringing the wolf out of its
sheep's clothing, the gay issue helps people
see straight to the heart of so many highly
visible people. People that make me sick,
fucking moralists. Its all a bunch'of hypocrisy, but alas, everyone gets to interpret
Jesus' teachings their own way, so more
power to them. The favor afforded to me, is
that I get to see the kinds ofiimils they might
put on me. While they may be all accepting
of me because I haven't (yet at least) declared
myself gay and fit their definitions of acceptability, in reality, and would be coming
across as my friends and supporters, in reality they have strict definitions for what they
see as acceptable behavior on my part, and
if I Were to test those waters, they would
tum out to be just as evil and judgmental
to me as anyone else.
In a given scenario, you might have
someone you think of as a friend, but say
that person has a clear definition of what
he/she finds acceptable, Up to now, you
have never tested those waters, and perhaps
you never will, but just the fact that if you
ever did you would be shunned or reprimanded or whatever make that friendship
completely questionable by my standards.
Getting back to the gay situation, I think
that it shoWs everyone fact that while so
many "religious" people claim to be your
friend (if in fact you fit their prerequisites)
they really don't
"love" you as they
say, at least nothing
unconditional
(which is what true
love is right?) In fact
they offer some of
the most conditional
love around, which
doesn't seem anything like love at all.
Anyway, I don 't
think many gay
people realize how positive their influence
on things really is. Or are given enough
credit for some of the positive qualities-our
country/culture possess.
I for one was lucky to have gotten to
know someone last year who opened my
eyes to the gay population, he being a
bisexual from Manhattan. We were in San
Jose, Costa Rica and he took me out to some
of the gay bars there.
I never got over my inhibitions (or
wanted to) to actually dance on the
predominantly gay male dance floor, but
just being around him and others gave me
. a much better feel for the humanness of
everyone there and my inherent kinship
with 'them'. I feel like the whole experience,
plus his friendship, have left a very positive
and special mark on who I am.
III think that our
overall population
could use so much
more influence by
its gay population."

Thinking back over the first few weeks
of the '94·'95 school year, you have
probably asked yourself many questions
and pondered many thoughts while
wandering the corridors of The Evergreen
State College. I have been called upon to
remove a little mystery from your life and
answer the month old question. what the
hell is Infectious Waste Theatre?
Last weeks Infectious Waste Theatre
marked the '94-'95 season premiere with
continual looping all weekend. The avid fan

a co uple hundred times.
I was prepared on a lovely Saturday

stars in the two act play Belle of Amherst
showing October 14-22 at the Washington
Center for the Performing Arts Stage II. She
plays Emily Dickenson and is the only cast
member.
The audience is exposed to Emily in her
house in Amherst. Massachusetts and tells
her life story. We learn about her father, who
is very austere and is the only one allowed to
swear in the house. The funniest part of the
play was when she reen:lcted her father
saying "DAMN" when his newspaper was
somehow misplaced. Emily's brother Austin
is very dear to her and his wife Susan is close
friends with Emily. Her mother is hardly
mentioned in the play until her death one
year after Emily's father. Lavina, Emily's
sister. is very loving toward her and gets very
jealous of men who want to marry Emily.

There was no shortage of bone crushing action in Portland last weekend , as the
Evergreen Hellcatz took to the pitch meeting the local team to beat, the Mudhens.
The HeJlcatz' play in the match showed phenomenal improvement in teamwork, as
they held the Mudhens to a 5-0 score until the last 10 minutes of the match. Kasey HarbinI',
a veteran player of the Hellcatz, noted that "the game was extremely close until our starting
hooker, Rendi. was sidelin ed for the remainder of the game with a head injury. The change in
hookers threw off the pack, which contributed greatly to the Mudhens three try scoring spree
ending the game."
Kati Tobler was recognized as playing outstanding at the eight-woman position,
producing the ball consistently for the backline out of scrums. The teams confidence level is
high. One player had a simple response to my question of how they felt they would play
against Gonzaga University in Spokane this coming weekend, remarking confidently, "were
gonna kick their asses." by Mike Steenhout

Swim Team Gets
ready for season
The swim team consists of 22
people, 13 men and ninewomen.)anette
Parent, head coach, and Sarah Applegate,
assistant coach, are going to start having
two practices a day next week. They will
be using both the pool and the weight
room for training.
The swim team competes mostly
with smaller schools in the PNAC (Pacific
North West Athletic Conference).
Sarah Applegate has been maching
for seven years in Seattle and Olympia.
"It's a smaller turn-out than last year, but
much stronger and more experienced,"
Sarah says. "We take people that don 't
have much experience and that have been
swimming aU their life. It's a good balance
and we always have more room for more
people."
When the meets begin in November
the team would love volunteers to come
and help time the games. Good lu ck

Well here we are back together again. Let's talk about our beloved and sOl:netimes hated
Seattle Seahawks, their mediocre record of 3-3 tells only a small part of the story. The
Sea hawks are ahead of their opponents by 40+ points (PF vs. PAl. Their first two wins against
Washington and the LA Raiders were works of perfection, beautiful games where Mirer looked
like a Montana. Mirer had all of the time he needed to make just the right connections.
Then the wheels started to come offwith a loss to the unbeaten Chargers. In this game
the margin of defeat was two long TO runs. Vrs. the Steelers the Sea hawks were back in there
zone dominating on both sides of the ball. Then came the game were coacti Flores had a vote
of no confidence for his field goal kicker Kasay on a 50+ yarder, and we paid the ultimate
price. a loss. The game against the Broncos was just a victim of bad execution and carrying
out of the plays. Considering the Seahawks schedule is one of the weakest in the NFL, they
should be better than this . Hopefully they will be better this week against Kansas city, and
until next week, see ya. by Kristopher Brannon
