ISSUE
Six months of heated debate on the
highly volatile topic of school calendar
conversion is finally at an end. Evergreen will
remain on the current system of quarters
rather than switching to semesters.
The Board of Trustees took President
Jervis' recommendation that a vote be made on
the semester conversion to discussion at the
Wednesday Oct. 12 meeting. The board
deliberated for over two hours on the issue,
reiterating the pros and cons for both sides.
The votes finally came, and they fell as
follows: Fred Haley-for, Carol Vipperman-for,
Chris Meserve-for.]ohn Terrey-against, Dwight
Imanaka-against,Ed Kelly-against, and the
final tie-breaking vote came down to Lila
Girvin, Board Chairperson who called a recess
to contemplate before making her decision.
She returned with a vote against saying,
"The di vision is represented here [on the
board] as well as out there [on campus],"
reiterating that there has not and most likely
will not be a consensus on this issue in the near
future.
The meeting with students in Library
3112 began with the board asking Student
Representative Ted Shouse to recap the points
he had already made to the board regarding
student concerns. Shouse stated that President
Jane Jervis had "classified the students' position
on this [conversion] as 90/10, 90% con and 10%
pro," and that he thought that was an accurate
assessment of what he had been hearing from
the students.
He then presented a summary ofstudent
concerns that had been presented to him.
Items covered were:
• The strain of tuition having to be paid
in two lump sums
·The possibility of missing what he
termed "mushroom" classes, where a faculty
member creates a new program based on a
topic or idea that sprang from the current
program, due to the fewer number of times a
student would register.
• That students would now only have two
register times a year to chose programs,
reducing the students' options by 1/3.
.• Weather and it's effect on the mental
aspect of students' education. He stated so me
st ud ents' views that Evergreen's current
quarter system is more in sync with the natural
rhythm of the seasons.
• The need for students to have an

TESC celebrates Coming Out Day TESC prepares

QUeer studen ts crowded Red Square 011 Tuesday to
celebrate the seventh annual National Coming Out Day
(NCOD).
Activities at the Red Sq uare celebration included a
"Coming Out Honor Roll." The Honor Roll was an opportunity
for students to sign their names and "come out" to the Evergreen
community. The banner was then dropped from the Clocktower
in Red Square as a statement of solidarity and visibility.
Along with the banner, a set of old-fashioned western style
saloon doors with a Keith Haring posters were set up Oil Red
Square. Students could walk through onto a path that lead to a
table staffed with supportive queer stlldents.
Nathan Woods, co-coordinator of the EQA, described ~
NCOD as a chance "... to give visibility to queers, out or not. It ~
is a cultural holiday to celebrate personal fulfillment, self- ..r::

On, Wednesday, the Board ofTrustees approved
three proposed budget exercises asked of them by the
Governor's ORice of Financial Management.
Th e Governor requested that all state agenci es
prepare five and 10 percent proposed budget reduction
"exercises" as well as an additional 10 percent staff cut.
President Jervis presented the proposals to th e
board , asking for "ap proval, but not support ,"
acknowledging that any types of cuts would be
detrimental to college operations.
With the 10 percent cuts, the college will see
dramatic losses in such areas as pl1blic safety, where the
loss ofan emergency operator will result in less security
officers in the field.
Other reductions will occur in custodial services,
where 3.5 positions will be removed, resulting in a
noticeably more unkempt campus. First People's will
loose an advisor, the library will loose a reference desk
staffer and all new faculty that are hired will be less
experienced, as they command a far lower salary.
In a memo Jervis issued Monday, she stated,
in addition to previously published reduction
proposals, "in order to achieve a 10 percent reduction ...
we reduce enrollment. This would mean 150 fewer
students and six fewer faculty ... "
Jordan Dey, the governor's deputy
communication director, said that redUCing
enrollment, and thus denying greater access to public
education, is not what the Governor was looking for.
"The governor doesn ', want to see access limited.
He is looking for cuts in administration , streamlining,"
.
said Dey.
No one is looking forward to any possible cuts.

New S&A Coordinator Dante Salvatierra ponders his duties for the
year in the conference room of the CAB building.
(
by Alex Ivanchukov
CPJ Contributor
Yes, now the sordid truth can be told.
Out of the hard-earned (or maybe not so
hard-earned) money you pay your tuition
with every year, $100 goes to a mysterious
fund.
Actually it's all completely legitimate
but many people are not aware of what the
S&A (Services and Activities) Board is,
much less how its funding is spent.
Dante Salvatierra , the newly
appointed S&A Board Coordinator, aims to
change that. Salvatierra served on the
Board last year and realized that it needed
to become more accessible. He is pursuing
a Masters in Teaching and is interested in
excellence in education.
S&A controls the purse strings that
keep all student activities running.
According to Salvatierra, fund recipients are
divided into two categories or tiers. Tier
One includes KAOS (the radio station), the
S&A administration, the CRC (Campus
Recreation Center), the Child Care Unit
The Princeton Review. the nation's leading SAT teacher,
agreed to relinquish the name KAPLAN.COM to Stanley H.
Kaplan Educational Centers (Princeton's closest competito:).
After spending tens of thousands of dollars on legal tees,
Kaplan was awarded the name, when it could have been bought
for a case of beer.
The whole controversy came about after The Princeton
Review registered the domain name KAPLAN.COM on the
Internet for students to be given a place to shaft' Kaplan horror
stories.
When Kaplan complai ned, The Princeton Reviell' offered
to relinquish the name for a case of beer.
Kaplan. hoping thaL damages wuuld be awarded. instead
went to court.
However, all it endeu up was the name it could h,II'e had
for a case of beer.
In last week's issue there were a few

Burglary in Mods results in chase and arrest
by Lyn Iverson and Liam Bickford
CPJ intern and ContribuTOr
On Sept. 29, 1994 Public Safety
arrested a 24 year old Seattle man for
burglary. The man was arrested for reportedly
burglarizing two dwellings, one being M307B and one in S-l 07. He was reported to have
gone in open windows both times.
The man took a variety of items
including a checkbook, bank cards and close
to $100 in cash.
The resident s of the M307-B were
home at the time. and heard noise in the
bedroom. They entered the room and saw the
man. He asked if someone named John lived
there. The residents told him that no one by
that name lived there. The suspect then asked
to use the bathroom and the residents allowed
him to. They became suspicious when they
didn't hear him going to the bathroom. At
this point the s uspect came out of the
bathroom and left the residence. The
residents, upo n noting the mi ss ing items,
called public safety and reported the man.
Officers Lana Brewster and Darwin
Eddy responded to the caIJ. Brewster went
in search of the suspect and Eddy went to
speak with the residents.
"I wasn't doing very well finding this
guy because the description said he was
wearing a big floppy hat , and I didn't see
anyone with a big floppy hat," said Brewster.
At this time, another burglary was
reported in S-I 07, and the description of the
s.uspect matched the previous one given from
the residents of the mod unit. Brewster went

Brewster said. "While I was there, the guy chased the man, and pushed him while they
were running, knocking him down. The
county officer had his canine there as well,
"so he wasn't going anywhere," said
~ewster.
At this time the man admitted that he
was under the influence of speed and cocaine.
The man also admitted that he had taken
some money out of a mod. The man was
taken to Thurston County Jail and booked
for probable cause of burglary.
The man was charged on Oct. 10, 1994
with one count of burglary. He plead not
gui lty and is now being held at Thurston
County Jail on a $2500 cash only bail. The
bail was made to be cash only due to his not
being able to provide an address of
permanent residence and because he was on
probation for a burglary charge at the time
of his arrest.
Director of Public Safety Gary Russe ll
stressed the need for students to be "security
aware." Rus sell said, "Evergreen in and of
it se lf is a pretty open a nd welcoming
community, but there aren't any walls
keeping other people out."
Brewster also stressed the safety issue
stating that, "Students need to realize that we
get a lot of off campus people here. They
need to learn that they have to lock their
doors and windows. They get to college and
become so trusting, and they trust too many
people. Unfortunately th at leads to bad
situations." _
Campus decides to reinforce graffiti rules
by Carson Strege
CPJ Layout Editor
In early October. the college decided
re-implement the graffiti removal policy.
According to the memo sent to George Liago
on Oct. 3 by Director of Facilities, Ken
Jacobs. all graffi ti will now be removed
within 24 hours.
"The purpose of this memo is to advise
you that we are returning to the removal
procedures that we utilized until about a year
and a half ago . In other words, we will be
removing graffiti within 24 hours and sooner
if possible. By copy of this memo. I am
advising our supervisors and Gary Russell
to reinstate the notification procedures we
used previously to call back our staff early
in the mornings (6:00 a.m.) and on weekends.
I am also aski ng building managers and
others who receive this memo to notify
Security when graffiti appears in or outside
their buildings. Security will take pictures.
prepare a report and then notify Clint, George
or me to remove the graffiti." said Jacobs.
According to the memo, Les Puree,
Executive Vice-Pre sident of Finance and
Administratio n. the President and Vice
Presidents reviewed the draft of the memo
which they then approved.
The first signs of the new policy to
e nforce the existing rules about the graffiti
have already effected students. The
Columbus Day protest chalking was cleaned
up almost immediately. angering some of the
chalkers. (see Response, page 8).
Another clean-up incident occurred on
Tuesday, Oct. II at 7 a.m. when Maintenance
arrived to clean up the National Coming Out
Day (NCOD) chalking. Members of the EQA
were on Red Square in the morning tq begin
the traditional chalking to advertize for
NCOD.
According to Publi c Safety Director
Gary Russell , the grounds crew notified
10
Public Safety that there was an
"una uthori zed" activity going on in Red
Square. He and Lou Heller proceeded to
inform the students the chalking now falls
under the regulation against graffiti.
According to Jules Sibbern, the EQA
members were approached by Public Safety
officer, Lou HeUer, who told them to "drop
that chalk." He proceeded to inform them that
they were not allowed to chalk and that it
was going to cos t "thousands of dollars" to

Sibbern said Heller then proceeded to
ask for identification from some of the EQA
members, includin g Cedar Ellison a nd

He also took the
identification of Emi ly Katall and, according
to Katall. did not give it back until so ordered
to by Russell.
He th en atte mpt ed to get the
identification of Jules Sibbern, who refused
to comply. Heller told Sibbern that his
supe rvisor had asked him to get the
identification of the students who were
chalk ing.
Heller pointed out that asking for
identification from students was perfectly in
his right.
"How many times do you think \' ve
been lied to about the identity of a person on
this campus?'" sa id Lou Heller.
.
Sibbern went to speak with Russell in
order to allow the chalking to remain.
Russell referred her to Art Costantino, Vice
President for Student Affairs, who was "very
reaso nable" and struck a compromise with
the EQA and Facilit ies to allow the chalking
to remain until after NCOD ended. Facilities

Chuck Noah drove his RV onto Red
Square early Wednesday morning to protest
false accusations of child abuse and sexual
molestation.
Noah is weathering allegations by his 39
year old daughter that he sexually abused her
when she was six. The two are now separated
because of the allegations. He claims that her
memories are fa lse, stemming from the
therapist-induced False Memory Syndrome.
"The first amendment saved my life,"
Noah said regarding his protest , "lawyers told
me to just disappear. " Noah has far from
disappeared, however, pledging to continue
his protests, "What do you expect a human
being to do when you call him a child
molester?"
False Memory Syndrome (FMS) is when
false memories of abuse are planted in a
person's mind and they then believe these
memories as fact. Noah has been picketing the
therapists who he believes planted the ideas
in his daughter's head.
Noah claims that these therapists are

"Where would you
Rita Pougiales
by Lyn Iverson
CPJ Writing illlem
Rita Pougiales came to Evergreen in 1971.
She hadn't planned to finish her studies here.
She came to see a friend she had met while
working with Outward Bound, Willi Unsoeld,
who was one of Evergreen's many founding
member.
Unsoeld began asking her when she was
going to finish up her schooling and told her,
"This is the place to do it." Before she knew it,
she was enrolled.
Pougiales said, "Things were very differ·
ent then. We didn't have any classrooms to
meet in, so we met at a local church, or at each
other's homes. There was no common social
life on campus then like the CAB is now. There
were a lot of potlucks."
She said that around Christmas they were
able to start having seminars on campus, usually in their faculties' offices.
Pougiales was a member of Ihe very
first graduating class at Evergreen in 1972.
"I felt really good about it. It was the
perfect way to finish my education," said
Pougiales.
Previously, she had taken three and
a half yea rs at the University of Minnesota
study ing anthropology and history. Pougiales
said, "I remem ber leaving Evergreen very
happy."
She went on to teach Urban Anthropology at a private school in Massachusetts.
She taught at that school for three years and
then decided to return to further her own education.
She then went to the University ofOregon to pursue a teaching degree so she could
teach history at the high school level.
"Their methods of teaching weren't
what I had in mind," said Pougiales.
She left there with a M.A. in Philosophy
of Education, and later earned a Ph.D. in Anthropology and Education from there as well.
[t was during this time that Evergreen reentered her life. In 1979 Willi Unsoeld and a
student were killed in an avalanche while
climbing Mount Rainier. Evergreen needed
someone to finish teaching his program.
Pougiales remembered, "I was at the University of Oregon at the time. [t was tragic."
She declined to teach the program at the
time saying that she felt the students needed
someone closer to them to continue in
Unsoeld's stead.
However, she did apply for a faculty position in the Fall of 1979 and has been at Evergreen ever since.
"[ wouldn't exactly say [followed in Willi's
footsteps, but I did teach outdoor education,
using my experience from working in Outward
Bound," said Pougiales.
She is currently one of the faculty members involved in the Core Program "Placing
Yourself".
Pougia.les said that having so many
of the original founding members still here at
Evergreen is "like having elders still here to
guide us. It makes us really well grounded."
Regarding her life here at Evergreen,
Pougiales said, "Evergreen was a bold and
brash experiment, and it's been exciting to be
a part of it. As long as we can continue to be
deliberate and thoughtful. to care and be involved, there is no better education. This place
works well when you make it your own. I believe in Evergreen. [can't imagine teaching anywhere else." _

Writer calls for student
empowerment at TESC
by Joshua Kilvington
CPI Contributor
Welcome to TESe...
We are considered one of the best,
brightest, most open·minded liberal arts
colleges in the United States of America for the
best value (if you are a resident).
We boast some of the most politically
active a~d empowered people of all the "race·
class·creed·gender(s)," potential and outside
these walls we carry out this attitude with grace,
strength, stealth. and in the championship of
all that an open mind brings to the fore.
However, inside these wa lls of th e
collegiate ivory towers of this institution we are
still one of the most disempowered bodies of
students in the state, and pOSSibly the nation.
I have the strange fortune of having been
at Evergreen for seven years now. In that time I
ha ve seen the demands for a st udent
governance system ebb and flow.
We have tried DTF's, rallies, marches,
ballots, surveys, protests. committ ees. and
meetings. and in many instances were able to
grasp at the illusion of empowerment.
Yet, students graduate and transfer, and
others become part ofthe staff, faculty, and the
state.
There was a peak moment in my career
when I helped facilitate the supply line for the
students who took over the Presidents

intimidating, unintelligent and lacking selfcontrol. 'Because of these stereotypes, it has
historically been easier to target, accuse,
portray and convict Men ofeo lor as rapists.
Rarely do we hear their side of the story.
This graffiti creates a false sense of
security for women at the expense of Men
of Color and does not make me feel safe on
this campus. It makes me feel less secure to
know that hate is tolerable if properly
disguised. Simply put, it is irresponsible for
a woman and a community to vilify yet
another Man of Color because it is socially
acceptable to call him a rapist without
hearing his perspective.
Rape is a reality. It is also a
complicated word with many definitions.
Rape is not always as simple as "no means
no" and can include subtle situations where
power imbalances and coercion are factors.
The problems surrounding rape implore
men and women to be more responsible for
our sexual relations. White women have a
special responsibilty to consider the
significante of racial stereotypes in
perceiving and reacting to our experiences,
sexual and otherwise, with Men of Color.

. I am writing in response to the graffiti
that has been scrawled across this ,campus,
as well as oth.e r locations throughout
Olympia, that accuses an African-American
man (name withheld for protectio(l of
family) of being a rapist. The graffiti that has
surfaced is unfair, it is unjust and it is an
indicator of the racism on this campus.
An official charge has not been filed
against this indiVidual with Evergreen,
because the alleged rape did not take place
on campus. Neither has one been filed with
the Olympia Police Department. Given the
current legal system, there is no public
forum to adequately address the nuances of
most allegations of rape. However, I do not
feel that anonymous graffiti in this situation
is an acceptable alternative to a fair hearing.
I think it is important to acknowledge
the feelings ofalleged victims/survivors and
to work to ensure women's safety in this
community. At the same time, it is crucial
to confront the stereotypes of Men of Color
that are perpetuated by white SOciety. It is
no coincidence that the majority of rape

Wolf Recovery Plan hurts more than helps
The Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS)
wants to implement what they call a "recovery"
program for the Grey WolfCCanis lupis) in the
lower 48 states. While "wolf recovery" may
sound like a good idea, the FWS plan will allow
renewed killing of wolves and destruction of
their
previously

fact that the Grey Wolf

Evergreen Men's soccer team traveled to
Ellensburg last Saturday to take on Central Wa$hington
University. The Geoducks clearly controlled the first half,
indicated by 2-0 lead. After half time Central rallied from
the 2-0 deficit to tie up the match and then put the icing on
the cake in the seventy-fourth minute with a game winning
goal.
Despite the 3-2 loss in Ellensburg, the men are still
ranked a respectable number two in the PNAC (Pacific

On the nineteenth the men will play host to Hawaii State at

Ian FlJrguson warms up before practice last Thursday. He has
been playing ultimate frisbee on Spawn for over two years and has
competed in several tournaments. The name Spawn was voted on
by the team members and was also found an easy name to yell out
on the sidelines.
The main goal in ultimate frisbee is to catch the disc in the end
zone.The positions in ultimate are handlers, mids and longs. Handlers
are the ones that start out with the disc and look up field for an open
player, usually another handler.
After the handler makes a cut out to the person with the disc
looking for the dump and catches the pass, a mid will cut next and
then a long. Handlers make the first pass to the other handlers or
mids who then pass it further up field to the longs.
Hopefully the longs are in the end zone and score a point. If you
have no idea what I am saying, come to a practice and check it out.
Every Monday and Thursday at 6 p.m. and Saturdays at 11 a.m/ in the
field by the tennis courts,

"The trail used to be a

"When the rain comes it

McFarland suggests the trail

comes it will be easier to tell
where to put gravel," and
other material needed for an
easier passage down to the
beach.
With all the people

The Evergreen Men's Rugby Team,

tough Western Warthogs team at
Evergreen Saturday. Though the final
score was 20 - 5 in favor of Western,
Evergreen showed many strong
points. Some nice defense and
powerful runs came from the back
line and fullback, while the forwards
won a lot of serums and played
aggressively.
A few Ever.green Players felt that
poor ball handling and line-outs were
contributors to the loss as the team
lost possession at a few crucial
moments. However, the Evergreen
team worked well together under an
intense Western offense. Next

The Evergreen Helkatz hosted the Western Women's Rugby
Team last Saturday. The Hellcatz dominated the game and
triumphed with a 20 to 0 win over the Western team .
The Evergreen Helkatz cut through their defense with ease
scoring four trys. The Western team was plagued with problems for
the entire game.
Women's Soccer:
Plenty of talent
Julie Muretta, Amy Boos, Katie Quinn-Tobler and Renee Lambert
Jones scored the four trys.
but struck with
'dumb luck'
The Helkatz practices are held every Monday, Wednesday and
Friday from 4 to 6 pm on the Evergreen playing field. Team Captain
Jennifer Comb encourages inexperienced as well as experienced
rugby players to come out and practice.
The Evergreen Women's soccer team
played host to University of Puget Sound on the
fifth. Jan Smisek, the team's head coach, stated
that ''the 6-0 loss was disappointing, and not a
good indicator of Evergreen's play." She
advocated that the team was beat more by "dumb
luck," than an overpowering opponent. Missed
opportunities, such as numerous Evergreen shots
deflecting off the adversary's post's, led to the
lopsided victory. The Geoduck's play was
exquisite throughout the match.
Stephanie Hirning, a freshman reigning
from Roosevely, was nominated for "player of the week" by the
PNAC. In the fall she made the transition from mid-fielder to defense
and was recognized by the PNAC for her excellent defensive play.
Coach Smisek noted that freshman goalie Erica Brehm, reigningfrom
Kirkland, "has been playing outstanding the past few weeks, her
contributions being significant."
The Women~s team will be traveling to play Portland State
Oct. 15; and then onto Ellensburg, taking on Central Oct 19. Best
wishes to our outstanding team and keep that fighting Geoduck spirit
a1ive. .

Sports talk
In this column, I'd like to discuss all kinds of sports. I'll be
the first to admit I'm not some supreme sports expert. I can't
quote you Nolan Ryan's lifetime ERA, but I know that the St.
Louis Blues is not some sort of depression. Anyway if you've
read the column thus far you must like sports in some way, unless
you enjoy reading the CPJ from the headline to the see-page.
To start off I think the baseball strike is just plain stupid
(enough said). I think the NHL strike is even worse considering
how people are so upset with the baseball strike.
But seriously lets talk hoops, first of all I still can't believe
the Sonics lost in the first round to the Nuggets. With acquiring
Cartwright in the off-season I think this will give them the center
and type of hard work-ethic player they need, considering Kemp
hasn't stepped up to the role of team leader yet. One of the
problems of last season was they had the objective of getting
the NBA's best record, but they didn't think of playoffs and
beyond. I think if they reorganize their agenda they can have a
successful year. I wish them and you good luck until next week.

Rolling Stone thinks Evergreen is pretty alternative
by Pat Castaldo
We're so alternative.
Fvergreen has made it into the national
press again this week-Rock and Roll stylein the October 20, 1994 issue of Rolling
Stone.
Ilousing Assistant Resident Manager
James Spencer is profiled on page 89 as part
of a ~pe cial feature on college life in the
nineties.
Rolling Stone wastes about 50 pages
telling us how to be cool. what to do with our
roommates, what food to eat and how having
a 'zine and your ow n indie label are the
ultimate signs of slacker success.
Spencer spends his 15 minutes offame
in pure Generation X fashion, describing life
at Evergreen as (thank goodness) "pretty laid
back."
I managed to catch Spencer while he
was baking a batch of Oatmeal cookies in his
now famous Modular Housing unit. In the
RoJjing Stone article, Spencer describes the
mods as "kind of like individual units for
eight people." The Housing handbook
describes the mods as four person, two
bedroom apartments.
I dialed him on my red phone. I reserve
this phone for special calls. This was a special
call. I was interviewing a celebrity. Someone
who was in a magazine with REM on the
cover.
Cookies, Film and Currency
James? Hi. ihis is Pat. Can we do that
interview-thing now?
Sure. I hope you don't mind ifI make
some Oatmeal cookies. I borrowed some
eggs.
Borrowed?
Yeah, I had to borrow them. I'm poor.
Yo u, poor? But you're a celebrity now.
Sure, my next door neighbor just
accosted I11e.
You didn 't get any financial stipend or
anything from Rolling Stone?
Unfortunately Rolling Stone is not the
National Enquirer.
[He cracks the egg and empties it into
the mixing bowl prior to reading the recipe. J
I always fuck up my cookies.
So ... I hear you're a filmmaker.
I am. Yes, indeed. Whatever. So is
everyone else who is going to school, but
that's beside the point I'm a real filmmaker
because I'm a struggling artist.
What makes you struggling?
The fact that I can't afford to create my
art because I'm just poor and I can't eat
because I need to borrow eggs from my
neighbors.
Sorry.
Yeah, life's a bitch and then you get your
picture in Rolling Stone.
Free time and bare asses
No. I'm kind of a
hermit. Last year in Adorm I had to spend
far too much time
with people. This year
I've been getting kind
of a reprieve. And you
know, Crisco is an
amazing thing.

About naked asses? Did you lind those
asses at all attractive?
I was generally disappointed. It is never
the good people who run around nude. It's
only the ugly ones. That could get me into
trouble. But really, don't you think that is
true?
Food, God and Ambitions
Do you spend a lot oftime with people?
What's your favorite food?
God.

Yeah, God is my favorite food. I don't

Yeah.

cookies are gonna suck.
[Changing the subject] What are your
ambitions?
Ambitions? I'm graduating in the
spring, I think. The classic Evergreen "I
think." I don't know. I'm gonna emigrate to
New Zealand and start a.. I don't know. A
gay porno company or something.
Big market?
No, just lots of cu!e guys.
Would you be in the movies?
No. I don't like to be in front of the
camera.
But you were in Rolling Stone.
Everyone has to compromise their
principles.

Those pictures in Rolling Stone are
pretty artsy. How 'd they get those?
They sent me a Polaroid.
You got a free camera?

Pulp Fiction i~ the motherfucking. movie ()f the .decade
by Demian Parker
The movie of the decade is here.
Quentin Tarantino's sophomore directorial
film , Pulp Fiction, skillfully weaves together
three stories of LA criminals into one
fantastic movie.
. Despite starring the likes of John
"Saturday Night Fever" Travolta, Samuel L.
"Do The Right Thing" Jackson, Uma "Henry
& June" Thurman, Harvey "The Piano"
Keitel, Tim "Reservoir Dogs" Roth, Amanda
"LA Law" Plummer, Eric "Mask" Stoltz,
Christopher "The Deer Hunter" Walken and
Bruce "Die Hard" Willis, the star of this
movie is definitely writer/director Quentin
Tarantino.
I walked into the screening after having
heard a few things here and there about the
movie. I knew about "a dance scene," and
about "the scene where John Travolta jams a
needle into Uma Thurman's heart to save her
life," but nothing prepared me for the two
hours and 20 minutes which I sat through
co mpletely wrapped in the story.
And what a story. It opens with Roth
and Plummer, as two small-time crooks,
sitting in a coffee shop talking about a change
of career. From there, we see Travolta and
Jackson, as a pair of underworld henchmen,
out to retrieve a mysterious black briefcase
from a group of very young crooks. The
night, Travolta is asked by his boss :
Marsellus Wallace, played by Ving Rhames,
to take his wife, Thurman, o~t for a good
time. A night which ends all wrong.
Meanwhile, there is a boxer, played by Bruce
Willis, who is supposed to take a dive, but
They may be cheezy, but they're our addictions da'mnit
decides to double-c ross the criminal who
paid him, Marsellus Wallace.
And then there is Harvey Keitel, who
stays completely clothed in a tuxedo for the
entire film.
"The idea behind Pulp Fiction," said
Tarantino, "was to take the oldest situatiqns
in the book, the one's you've seen a zillion
times, the boxer who's supposed to throw a
fight and doesn't, the mob guy who's
supposed to take the boss's wife out for the
evening. The third story, 'The Wolf' is
basically the first five minutes of every Joel
Silver movie, two hit men come and kill these
guys, and then they cut to Arnold
Schwarzenegger a hundred miles away.
What I wanted to do, for instance, with the
third story is hang out with Vincent and Jules
after they've finished their business and see
what happens to them the rest of the
morning."
It has been said that Tarantino has a

by Lisa Corwine
I would like to cover the cheesy things
about mainstream society that this
community has taken in as "cult." The term
"cult" in mass media (beyond satanicrituals)
has usually been described as something that
doesn't do well in the general public yet ha~
a small, but strong, following.
. On this campus we seem to have taken
parts of mass culture that already have a
large, strong following - yet are viewed as
beneath us college students - and called it
"cheeze" so we can enjoy it while justifying
our addiction. The two major addictions that
come to mind are Fox programming like
Beverly Hill 9021 O( commonly referred to as
The Bev) or Melrose Place (or just plain Mel)
and Sassy magazine.
In the guise of "to the heart, youth
directed" genre, these addictions become a
part of our lives and casual conversation
(always in the "admit it, we feel dumb talking
about this"-mode). I don't remember a single
Thursday seminar in my program last year
that The Bev was not brought up (of course,
we were studying mass media).
I watched Melrose Place last Monday,
just as I do every week at work, and freaked
out when Michael revealed that he
remembers Sydney. I found it sweet that
hard-edged Amanda calls her father "daddy."
Jane's latest boy really tweaked out on Sydney
last week (can't Jane find a normal guy who
doesn't get hot for a whore?) And who's the
new chick? She's a little too passive to me to
believe she would inspire Billy to say "If your
name starts with a vowel, you get a free
lunch :"
Then Ijustified my addiction by stating
that the show is so cheezy it's fun and I only
watch it " 'cause I'm at work."
I've been to Bev parties and justified my
watching because it was a social gathering.
But at those social gatherings I have found
mysl'lf explaining a situation or reminded
someone about a past history of a character.
Sassy magazine, on the other hand, is a
hard one. It tries so hard to be different,
finding the newest "cute guy" before others
pick up on it. But, of course, the magazine is
definitely directed towards IS-year old girls.
The situations described are bland and
in language that only 30-somethings would
come up with as something "the kids would
think is hip."
One question in the October issue of
Sassy came from a girl of 15 who was in the
9th grade. Apparently the girl's friend was
having a big back to school bash and this guy
asked her ifhe could bring "beer, pot, LSD,
PCP, etc." The girl told her school viceprincipal, he talked to the guy, now the guy
follows the poor girl around and it scares her.
Sassy responded in a fairly intelligent
matter, she told the girl that narcs are no
good, to just "talk to her friend" and stay
away from the party.
I had someone inform me before a
party once that they were selling ·shrooms.
They weren't asking my permission, no one
really does that. People scope out a situation
before hand, ifit looks good, good, ifit looks
bad, they aren't stupid enough to ask. (I was
responsible, I told the guy to keep it away
from me and not to make an ass of himself).
Life may be getting tough, but it
doesn't mean we need to relax. The writing
style of Sassy is horrible. This rant is in the
A&E section of a college paper, so I have some
leeway in my writing style, but these poor
girls with dreams of getting into journalism
are looking at this magazine as a role model.
The advertising found in these
addictions are cheeze alone. Yes, I want to
snuggle with a dark and handsome little boy
(who has to be at least 26, the girl about 15),
so I'd better hurry up and get that brand of
candy before it goes out of style. And they
claim to be a real and alternative, in reality
they are just following the standards of
mainstream media, money and advertising
takes priority. You'd think to be different
they would be a little picky.
I am not saying that these addictions
are bad, we just have to admit that we really
like these shows and idolize these "role
models" (just kidding). These addictions are
fun and harmless, as long as they don't lead
to stronger stuff( like day-time soaps or The
National Enquirer).
Lisa does not have a television in her
household, but that doesn't keep her from
keeping up with the latest developments.

YOU'RE LOOKING AT TWO
COMPLETELY OPPOSITE, FUNDAMENTALLY
DIFFERENT WAYS TO INVEST IN STOCKS.
WE RECOMMEND BOTH.

Introducing the CREF Growth Account and the CREF Equity Index Account.
W
hether you want a fund that
selects specific stocks or one that
covers the market, we're on the same page.
. Our new CREF Growth and CREF
Equity Index Accounts use two distinct
strategies for investing in the stock marke t, but both aim to provide what every
smart investor looks for: long-term
growth that outpaces Lnf1ation~
The CREF Growth Account searches
fo r individual companies that are
poised for superior growth. In contrast,
the Equity Index Account looks for more
diversification, with a portfolio encompassing almost the entire range of US.
stock investments. It will invest in stocks
in the Russell 3000·~· a broad index of
US. stocks.
Like our CREF Stock Account, which
combines active, indexed, and foreign
investing, and our Global Equities
Account, which actively seeks opportunities worldwide, the new funds are managed
by experienced investment professionals.
They're the same experts who hav(' helped
make TlAA-CREF the largest pension
system in the US., managing over $130
billion in assets.
To find out more about our new stock
funds, and building your portfolio with
TlAA-CREF. just call 1800-842-2776.
And take your pick.
Ensuring the future
for those who shape it.....

Olympia to read from het' new book, Savage Dreams: A Journey into the
Hidden Wars of the American West. The book goes behind the scenic
beauty of the American West - with its vast, seemingly limitless expanses
- to relate a bloody histOt'y of conquest, conflict and exploitation that
continues to wreak havoc among communities, indigenous cultures and
wildlife to this day. Rebecca Soinit offet's this compelling account against
the backdrop of. three historic conflicts: the nuclear testing at the Nevada
Test Sites, the complex clashes over and within Yosemite National Park,
and the struggle of the Western Shoshone to retain their traditionallands
in Nevada.
The readings will be on Wednesday, at 7pm at Four Seasons Books

be interviewed by Tiokasin Veaux on KAOS at 12:30 pm.
