Rally held to ask for clemency for political activist Peltier
by Oliver MotTat
As many as 200 people marched from
Sylvester Park to the Sate Capital on
Saturday to demand that Leonard Peltier be
pardoned by President Clinton. Labor
leaders, activists and organizers spoke at the
rally on the capital steps and many expressed
optimism that the political prisoner could be
released within the year if enough attention
is drawn to the case.
Although Leonard Peltier has been
behind bars at Leavenworth federal
penitentiary for 18 years, he was chosen as
last year's Evergreen graduation speaker. A
native student read his speech at the
graduation ceremony.
The government claims that on June 26,
1975. Peltier killed two FBI agents in a shoot
out near Wounded Knee on the Pine Ridge
Lakota Reservation in South Dakota. His
supporters say he was framed.
Despite the evidence in Peltier's favor,
he has been denied a retrial three times.
Peltier can make no more appeals and the
board of parole will not hear his case for
another 15 years. "Charles Manson is heard
by the parole board more often," Arthur J.
Miller of the Peltier Support Group of
Tacoma said at Saturday's rally.
Peltier's defense has shown in court that
the governme nt knowingly used false

information and used coercion injailing him.
COUI:t documents also say that the
government with held evidence that could
have been used in Peltier's favor.
An FBI ballistics expert proved that the
gun Peltier is said to have been using could
not have fired the shell found in the agents'
car. In 1991 an anonymous man admitted
that he, not Peltier, shot the federal agents in
self-defense.
Juan Jose Bocanegra who is with the
U.S.! Mexico Alliance for Democracy and a
candidate for the 37th District Senate
position, said at the rally, "whether or not
Peltier is freed he has become an icon for
res istance ... the LA insurrection ... the
insurrection of Chiapas ... the Pine Ridge
insurrection ... and the struggle to free
Leonard Peltier are all part of the same
struggle.
"Leonard Peltier can provide the
leadership that this country's communities
need," Bocanegra added. Many of Peltier's
supporters emphasized that when he is freed
it will empower native and non-native
people.
Tiokasin Veaux, this year 's student
speaker at graduation, said at the rally he was
rejecting the stereotype of the sad Indian. "I
stand here today with the strength of 500
years of resistance," he said. "The more

New Program Director Spencer Crandall at KAOS.
by Carson Strege
After extensive searching, Michael
Huntsberger, general ' manager, named
student Spencer Crandall as the 19941995 Program Director for KAOS.
''This was a very difficult decision.
All of the candidates had strengths and
weaknesses ... [Crandall] had the
strongest academic backg round,
expressed'lhe strongest desire to take this
on as a learning position and expressed a
vision for the station that was a little
broader," said Huntsberger.

interviews with all four candidates. Later,
Huntsberger personally interviewed all
the candidates. The three other
candidates were Ellen Gormley, Robert
M. Keefe, and Jim McAdams.
The public was invited to attend
these events. The Communications
Board interview s were set up in a
"fishbowl," which means the public was
invited to observe but questions were not
solici ted. However, the KAOS staff
meeting allowed community question
and comments.
The Communications Board
meeting included three student
representatives as well as the CPJ editor.
The students gave recommendations to

Convicted child molester is
arrested near Cooper's Glen
by Katie Mehrer
He went by the name of "Ocean" and
had been asking children to meditate with
him in the woods where he lived behind
Cooper's Glen apartments.
The man, who had done time for child
molestation and is wanted for violating parole
in California, was apprehended with the help
of several concerned Evergreen students at
his campsite on the morning of May 18.
Evergreen's Public Safety Sergeant
Larry Savage said "this is an example orone
of those cases where Evergreen opens it s
arms to the homeless ... " only this time things
did not tum out for the best.
The subject was identified through hi s
fingerprints as one Tom Kirkp a tri ck
Meredith. He had been staying with a family
in Cooper's Glen for about two weeks .before
taking up residence in the woods. where he
stayed for approximately five or six months .
He had also become friends with a
number of Evergreen students and had
discussed his problem with child molestation
with a couple of these people. Says Savage.
"He was attempting to heal himself of the
problem. He wa s going to narcotics
anonymous ... sex addicts anonymous .. . but
when you're attempting to heal [a child abu se
problem] you don ' t put yourself in a position
to be alone with children." Meredith had
recently begun to solicit babysitting jobs.
Savage was asked to assist with backup
in the case by the Thurston County Police
department in the night of May 17 .
Coincidentally, thi s was the same night as a
burglary in the mods, resulting in public
safety'S delayed response to the burgla ry
case.
That night, deputies went through the
men's campsite for clues to hi s identi ty and
found the names "Mark Kajira" and "Mark
Aurelios," however a police search came up
with nothing on these names.

The suspect was arrested for criminal
trespass the next morning at 5:30 a.m,. as he
was leaving the site.
He reportedly told police, "I'm not
go ing to hinder you, but I' m not going to
assist you, either." Savage noted that even
as the police were questioning Meredith for
clues as to whether or not he committed
further abuse crimes here in Olympia. the
man was extremely angry over having been
turned in to the police, and wanted to know
the parties re sponsible.
Says Savage. "You have to be carefu l
in interrogation not to give away the
source ... a lot of people are really scared
right now, really scared."
Public Safety is planning a meeting for
concerned community members and parents
to meet with sex c rime detectives . The
detectives will th e n be able to answer
questions and educate parents as to the signs
to look for that may indicate a child has been
sexually abused.
According to Savage, the management
of Cooper's Glen is ex tremely pleased to
have the suspect apprehended, has expressed
happiness that the community was able to
come together to solve the problem and plan s
to cooperate with the distribution of fl yers
announcing the upcoming meeting.
Savage has stated several times that he
is pleased that the students involved were
able to unite to take the necessary action .
''I'm really proud of th e students, they had
to weigh a lot. .. 'should we go to the poli ce
or not ?'''
Tom Kirkpatrick Meredith. wi ll be:
ex tradit ed to California unle ss any
acc usations of child molestation in Olympi a
are brought against him. He is curren tl )
being held without bail.

lEse faculty gets
science award
EVERGREEN-A project involving four
Evergreen faculty me mbers has received a
National Science Foundat ion grant of
$40.504. The grant will promote
col laborati ve research projects between
chem istry, biol ogy and computer sc ience
studen ts and faculty at TESC

The project, under the di rection of Judi th
B. Cushing. Clyde H. Barlow, Jeffery J. Kelly
and Elizabeth M . Kutter, is entitled:
"Computer Graphics Vi suali za tion:
Collaborative Laboratory Experiences
Integrating the Physical. Biological. and
Computer Sciences."
The grant will assist the college in
acquiring thre e computer graphics
workstations and associated software
applications. New, powerful detai led
graphics-oriented
computers offer
opportunities to produce much more accurate
repre se ntations and approximations of
molecules and processes. Such facili ties hold
great promise for research and teaching.
Cushing says their intention is to enable
advanced students to work with faculty to
build graphical image s that effectively
illustrate scientific models. models that would
be diffi c ult to unders tand without th e
co mputer-aided visualization.
As many as 50 advanced, upper-divi sion
student s and about 200 introductory and
intermediate students per year will be directly
affected by the grant from National Science
Foundation for the project.

State agencies
face funding cuts
WASI-lINGTON- The state of Washington
Office of Financial Management (OFM) has
asked all state agencies to devise scenarios to
show repercuss ions if the state were to cut
five and IO percent of their funds, and 10
perce nt of their workers.
ThcOFM cites "the new lim its imposed
by Initiative 60 I on General Fund-State
expenditures and the growing pressure on all
funds ," as reasons for the request of fund and
staff cut scenarios.
According to legislative liaison Jennifer
Jaech, Initiative 601 is currently being
challenged in the state courts because of
questions of its constitutionality.
This could effect the outcome of the
budget recommendations.
Although requests for budget cut
scenarios are to be expected when the
biennium budget is being considered.
President Jane Jervis says, "There is always
the risk they'll take us up on it."
The memo also warns that. "We
recognize that service cuts are likely to be
part of any reduction of thi!; size."
In addition, the author of the memo.
Ruta Fanning, explains. '"I realize that
developing these options will present a
considerable challenge to yo ur agency.
However, preliminary estimates indicate that
Initiative 601 will limit General Fund-State
expenditures in the 1995-97 Biennium to a
level that may be insufficient to meet the cost
of ongoing services, cost of living
adjustme'nts, and any new policy demands
(including those that may be required by
citizens initiatives."

Half mast flags in honor of Nixon's death prompt protest
by Oliver Moffat
About a dozen students participated in
an all night vigil on Sunday night beneath
Evergre~n's flags to mourn the victims of
Richard Nixon. The group is calling on
President Jane Jervis to lower the flags for
another 30 days to remember Nixon's
victims,
The U.S. and Washington State flags
were lowered to honor former president
Nixon for 30 days ending on Monday. Nixon
died April 22 and President Clinton and
Governor Lowry requested flags to be flown
at half staff.
Many students, faculty, and staff were
angered that the flags were lowered and
demanded that the flags be raised back to full
staff.
One student was overheard saying,
"lowering the flags makes them easier to
burn." On Thursday, May 5 the American
flag was burned.
Flowers, candles, and tombstones with
messages remembering many of Nixon's
victi ms . "In memory of the students of Kent
State ... Apri I 1970 Cambodian invasion ... in
memory of Salvador Allende ... Fred
Hampton , B lack Panther killed while
sleeping," were some of the many messages
inscribed on fake tombstones.
In an article sent to The Olympian but
not published, faculty member Peter Bohmer
called on people to mourn Nixon's victims,
not war criminal Nixon. Nixon was
responsible for the bombing of Vietnam and
the overthrow of Salvadore Allende's
government in Chile. Bohmer wrote, "isn't
terrorist a better word to describe Nixon than
a wise president and statesman?"
According to The Olympian on May
17, a recent book published by Nixon's right
hand man's widow exposed Nixon's Antisemitism and racism. Nixon may have
intentionally worked to criminalize, harass,
illegally arrest and even kill political
opponents during his presidency. And of
course, there was Watergate.
Jacquelyn Lawrence, one of the student
organizers of the vigil, delivered a petition
on Tuesday to President Jervis ~igned by 247
members of the Evergreen community
calling for the flags to be flown at half staff
for an additional 30 days to mourn Nixon's
victims. As of this writing, there was no
response from Jervis regarding the petition.
. Eric Chase, another student organizer
of the vigil said that lowering the flag for 30

days to mourn victims will be a symbolic,
non-violent act, but falls short of changing
anything. "Nixon had his thirty days ... " he
said, "people seem to have amnesia and
forget what happened ... even the alternative
press has been rewriting history... [to make it
sound like] ... Nixon wasn't such a bad guy."
Student Rahul Gupta researched the
government Flag Code and related court
decisions and found it doesn't prescribe a
behavior but a custom. Ifthe flag were to be
lowered for 30 days outside of the directive
it would break a custom and not "contravene
the U .S.·constitution," Gupt says ..
President Jane Jervis received a request
from President Clinton and Governor Lowry
to fly the flag at half mast for 30 days as is
. customary. Jervis said in a memo on May 20
that, "Although the directive to lower the flag
is framed as a request, it is considered to be
an order of these public executives." But, she

said, "there may come a time or circumstance
so grave that defiance of a lawful directive
from the president of the United States and
the governor of Washington would be
warranted - when consequences to the
institution of that act of defiance would be
worth incurring. I do not believe that this is
such a time. "
Jacquelyn Lawrence criticized

photo Phan Nguyen

President Jervis' memo for framing the word
victims in quotation marks. She said it
suggested that Jervis doubted that vict ims of
Nixon existed. She added that it would be
offensive and condescending if framing the
word victim in quotation marks was intended
as sarcasm.

In addition, according to Jeff Cleaves.
KAOS Production Manager, very few of the
student staff members recommended
Crandall as their first choice.
Kimberly Kinchen, a Communications
Board student member, voiced concerns
about Huntsberger 's appointment of
Crandall. "Since none of us supported
Crandall, it makes you wonder how Michael
[Huntsbergerl sees student advisory input,"
said Kinchen.
She also expressed concern about
Crandall's comments regarding the financial
foundation ofKAOS. According to Kinchen,
Crandall will be a "market driven" director
rather then a "community driven" director.
"If KAOS begins looking more at the
dollar value of the program than the diversity
of the programming these underrepresented
communities will be served less and less,"
said Kinchen.

here, there was no clear choice for anyone
or from any constituency. It is a question of
who can provide the kind of support in that
position that is going to get that station
through the year and keep us rolling . .. And I
made a decision based on that factor and a
lot of listening to what other people had to
say," said Huntsberger.
"I wouldn't say thi s appointment was
necessarily controversiaL There were several
directions that the station could go. And for
my part, what the program director thi s year
has done, Pete, has been the greatest
contribution to the station, building the news
department. That was not something that was
even particularly well addressed in the public
interviews: That was one reason that I did
individual interviews. So it was a questi on
between choosing between relative
strengths .... I feIt that thi s was the most
balanced choice, not necessarily the mo st
dynamic choice, but the most ba'ianc ed
choice to serve all of the stations interests
and all the const ituencies intere st;" said
Huntsberger.
During Crandall's training period, he
wants to become a mediator between staff
and producers to lessen the tensions between
those two groups.
"Part of what my job is this year is to
just help to improve everything that is there
already. There aren ' t any huge changes that
I plan on making because KAOS has already
gone through a lot of changes and we need
to focus on what we are doing and do them
better," said Crandall.

Although the design contract document
will finally be ready to send to contract
bidding in mid-May, Colleen Ray,
Longhouse Project Coordinator says the
project is, ., ... going slower that most projects
this size have gone. We were careful to make
sure there was community review and input."
Due to the cultural nature of the project
there was concern by some native
community members that the project was not
true to a traditionallonghouse.
Ray says that this concern was the most
di fficult to overcome. "The biggest challenge
for the design team was to bring it in on
budget and on time, with cultural integrity
intact. "
Ray says however, that when she
showed the plans to a meeting of the
Washington Indian Elders, at the Nisqually
tribal office, the elders were, "very impressed
that Evergreen was doing such a project and
that it was a beautiful thing."

The $2. I million dollar project made
its first big step last February with the
passage of a budget proposal made by
Executive Vice President Les Purce and
Provost Russ Lidman to the Washington
Legislature.
Evergreen 's Longhouse, which is the
only project of its kind in the country, was
the brainchild of Mary Ellen Hillaire,
founding faculty member and member ofthe

Lummi tribe.
According to Ray, it was Hillaire's idea
for the project in the 1970's that had "such
creativity and force that it inspired students,
faculty and staff to continue her work."
Ray sees the 10,000 square foot
build ing as being a multicultural center, "A
place for hospitality and a place for diverse
populations to gather."
The Longhouse will be able to hold up

to 1,000 people, with flexible space for
seminars, lectures, special events, auditorium
spaces and food preparation.
The center wi II also be home to
Evergreen's Native American studies
program.
Naomi Ishisaka will be the 1994-1995
editor in chief of the Cooper Point lournal.

Group claims space aliens have power to .destroy us all
by Graham White
While only a handful of greeners would
show up to any of the spotlight issues on
campus (basketball, semesters, etc), more
than 8.0 people attended the Luciferians Final
Fight for Earth 's Spoils. The room
overflowed and the program was delayed
nearly 30 minutes to get more chairs.
Not all were young greeners; up until
6:59 p.m. only two or three people were
under the age of 45. Then the crowd of
students arrived . The local head banded bead
people showed up in bulk sizes with alien
fliers in hand and large, saucer like pupils.
The panel consisted of three women
and a man. They would not give me their
real names because they wish to remain
anonymous while fighting against this
ignorance about aliens that exists in the
masses. Instead the four individuals dropped
their "human" names 18 years ago and
became Soonre, Yvan, Sawyer and Sylvia.
Sylvia gave the opening speech and
asked for just a few moments of silence. So
we all got really reverent, and several people
bowed their heads in solemn prayer. I
doodled on my notepad patiently.
Once enough time had passed, Sawyer
calmly informed us that our entire reality is
a lie. Our reality is an experiment constructed
by aliens from the future. "It's just like the
holodeck as seen in Star Trek." Our homes?
Religion,job or even emotions? Sawyer says.
"It·s all part of the program"

The CPJ is a vehicle for art and poetry and stuff
A few weeks ago I was sitting around in
the CP1 office and someone asked me if! had
seen the Seepage for that week. Frowning

naturally had not.
I found iron the shelfand looked itover.
It was muddled and dark, like most of them
have been since Conrad Sobsamai has taken

Of course that's not what I was supposed to
be looking for.
I had been told ahead of time Ihat it was
"erotica." Always in the mood for filth and
degradation, my breath was heavy with
anticipation. But alas. the page in question
was about as erotic as Madonna's SEX, which
is to say, not very erotic at all.
It was kind of boring, kind of fourth
grade. I was disappointed that this was a page
that would test the general public'S
sensibilities, gamer complaints and probably
lose some ad dollars andlordistribution sites.
Of course it did all these things.
Such is life.
But as a result of these problems,
the staff is now considering the role of the

It's a tough issue because of the
sentimental attachment those at the CP1 have
to the First Amendment and freedom of

Contrary to the bel ief of so me, these are

In the mission statement of the CPl,
there is a directive which designates the

Anal intercourse: erotic and physically stimulating?
Why do es anal sex feel so good Jor
mell ? What should I know to make it safe?
These are excellent questions !
Anal sex may refer to oral-anal contact
(rimming), or penia l-anal contact (anal
intercourse). Anal sex may also include
fisting, finger play, or the use of sex toys.
These questions, however, may be referring
specifically to anal intercourse.
Some people may not be interested in
anal intercourse or may find it uncomfortable.
Others may tind anal intercourse to be erotic
and physically arousing
The sexual response cycle and anal
intercourse:
The sexual response cycle is .a
physiological re sponse to physical
stimulation and what is perceived as erotic. It
applies to both the receptive and insertive
partners participating in anal intercourse just
as it applies to those participating in other
sexual activities.
The four phases of the sexual response
cycle, as described by Masters and Johnson
in Human Sexual Response, are: excitement,
plateau, orgasm, and resolution.
Insertive anal intercourse:
Insertive . anal intercourse may be
pleasurable due to the movement of the penis
(a highly sensitive organ) through the

relatively tight muscles of the anus.
Sensitivity of the anal/rectal area:
The tissue of the anus may be quite
sensitive because it contains many nerve
endings. The tissue of the rectum mostly
senses the pressure of fullness or movement
since it contains relati ve ly few nerve endings.
In men, the movement involved in anal
intercourse may create a pleasurable massage
of the prostate. The prostate produces the
bulk of semen and is located just forward of
the forward wall of the rectum. It is a soft
organ that becomes larger and somewhat
harder with sexual arousal, and may then be
distinguishable thtough the wall of the rectum.
In women, the movement involv.ed in
anal intercourse may cause pleasurable
sensations by stimulating the Perenial sponge.
The perenial sponge is a sensitive spongy

such as Vaseline. Oil based lubricants cause
latex to break down.
-Relaxing the mu scles in the pelvic
area, and specifically the sphincter muscles
at the anus, is advisable. Insertion of the
penis when muscles are tense may cause pain
and tissue damage .
-Slowly insert a latex gloved and
lubricated finger to massage the anus before
ir.serting the penis. This may aid with muscle
relaxation and provide a transition to anal
intercourse.
oInsert the penis as slowly and with as
much lubrication as is comfortable.
oAllow insertion and movement to be
guided by the receptive partner if preferable.
olf anal intercourse is ever painful it is
important to stop. Pain with anal intercourse
may be the result of tense muscles or an
incorrect angle of insertion and may indicate
that tissue damage is occurring. It may be
useful toadjust the angle of insertion, to relax
any tense muscles. or to move on to other
sexually pleasurable activities for a while
before resuming anal intercourse.
o The penis should not enter the mouth
or vagina after being inserted into the rectum
in order to avoid transmittion of STDs and
infections that may be caused by normal
rectal bacteria.
oClearly communicate feelings.
discomfort, and preferences.
oRespect each other's feeling s and
requests.
o Agree that anal intercourse or any
aspectofit will be stopped immediatel y upon
request.
-If there is concern about the health of
the rectum it is advisable that an understanding

oThe tissue of the rectum can tear easily.
Tears are not good for the health of the
rectum in general and create direct entryways
into the blooostream for HIVI AIDS and other
sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). Tears
also create direct entryways into the
bloodstream for, and possible sites of infection
from , normal rectal bacteria. Therefore, it is
advisable to:
oUse latex condoms. When used
correctly and consistently latex condoms are
'effective at preventing the transmission of
many STDs, including HIV IAIDS . Condoms
may also protect against bacterial infection
of the insertive partner's urethra.
o Use a lubricant. Sufficient lubrication
may somewhat reduce the likelihood of tears.

'Naive' and 'insensitive' cartoonist draws criticism for his views

Efforts to indoctrinate and adjust the 'uncivilized' are criticized

An issue has recently (sort of) surfaced
which has brought into question the integrity
of the Cooper Point Journal. No one asked
me to write this piece but I feel the issue
deserves discussion.
This letter is in response to Jonah E R
Loeb and his public statements about the CPJ
edi torial staff. present and future.
"Controversial Cartoonist" Loeb has
demonstrated what some have called raci st
a nd misogynist tendencies in hi s comic
"Snuggle" for so me time now. I would
probably j us t call his works nai ve and
inse nsitive.
To his credit Loeb h as, on several
occasions. answered questions and listened
to the comments of hi s accusers in open
forums. knowing fuJI weJl that the cards were
not in hi s favor.
But despite pleas from the community
and from the CPJ staff he has continued to
produce work which shows little regard for
his audi ence and their feelings. and little
contemplation of the reactions (ranging from
anger to hurt) which his work has prompted
in the past.
T here is a fine line between challenging
a readers intellect and nat out in sulting it.
With fi nesse one can walk that lin e. Loeb
cannot.

by Tiokasin Veaux
The oppressors, the colonizers, the
white-male/female in disapproval, the
" wannabes" are the ones who act upon
people to indoctrinate them and adjust them
to a reality which must remain untouched and
inaccessible, "the American dream". ''They''
approach the materially poor, the
"uncivilized" or urban masses with projects,
such a VISTA, Wise Use Movement, Peace
Corps or Habitat for Humanity, which may
correspond to their condescended "owning"
view of the world but not that of the real
people.
As critical consciousness is embodied
in action,(i.e. "fronts" which engages one to
bring about justice) a climate of hope and
confidence develops which leads people to
attempt to overcome and "re-truth" the limitsituations defined by the oppressor. This
objective can be achieved only through
action upon the specific (manifest destiny),
historical reality in which limit-si tuations
historically are found. Developing a critical
awareness sustains an ability to comprehend
the oppressor and that dehumanization is the
root of all oppression; thus the adoption of
any values of the oppressor only insures the
continuation of dehumani zation.

approach, which is not new (Tecumsah,

The First Amendment protects people

It does not protect innuendo.
It's questionable I whether the First

which can be attributed to others.
Where did Jonah h e ar about thi s

few years ago the CPJ got hate mail for
printing a byline about the writer of a piece
being " a recovering Catholic." To think that
they are now in cahoots is laughable. To say
it because one is angry or bitter is scary.
Even if the Cooper Point Journal says
"abso lutely nothing," filling it with

"Grammarians continue to perpetuate sexist and classist language
Dear Grammarians,
I have been interested in the idea of
"co rrect" and "i ncorrect" grammar for a
while now, and your advice to avoid the use
of the word their and they as nonsexist
singu lar pronouns provides me with a good
chance to express some of my thoughts on
the subject.
From what I understand. they and th eir
have been in co ntinual use as si ngul ar
pronouns for hundred s of years . Your
assertion that " people are beginning to
acce pt they and their as ... gender-neutral ,
singular pronouns in spoken language" is
incorrect. because people have been using
these words in thi s way all along. And they
and their were perfectly acce ptable as
singular pronouns (S hakespeare used them)
in wri tten language until the mid-eighteenth

ce ntury, when the first "grammarian s"
invented themselves . These grammarians
were needless to say, men, and they were also
the ones who decided that he, him and his
were to be used as generic pronouns.
This brings me to the co ncept of
gram mari a n . A grammarian is a se lfappointed expert who tells the common
speaker the "correct" and "incorrect" way to
speak and write. Grammarians, si nce the very
beginning have always, for reasons I am
unqualified to explain, protected the status
quo. They have continually insisted (and do
today) on a sexist. c1assist language, far
removed from the language spoken and
written by the average person. (see "The
Politic s Of Grammar Handbooks: Generic
He and Singular They," by Sharon Zuber and
Ann M. Reed, College English, Sept. 1993)

Insistence on "correct" use .oflanguage
is a classic way people deny other people
power and access. There are countless
examples. The jargon lawyers have invented
make it impossible for the layperson to
negotiate the legal system without a lawyer.
The academic world has its own jargon and
constantly invents and re-invents publication
and attributions styles, making it necessary
to spend years in college learning the jargon
and styles in order to enter into academic
discourse. After the civil war some states
used literacy tests in order di squalify black
people-for whom getting an education had
been a crime-from voting.
I'm not saying that" our Grammarians
are intentionally trying to deny Cooper Point
Journal readers access to their grammar
filled world. But I am saying that our

language begins on the street in the mouth
of the average person, and that grammarian'S
follow; if not then we ' d all still be speaking
and writing the way the first Mr. Grammarian
insisted back in the 17th century. This is why
they and their are excellent choices as gender
ne utral pronoun s. They meet all th e
requirements: they are si mple, non-sexist and
they are already the choice of English
speakers everywhere. and have been for
hundreds of years. To say that we should
ignore the need for gender neutral pronouns
by re-arraging our sentences is absurd.
People who try to tell you how 10 write
and talk correctly are trying to deny you, at
the very least, your own voice. Clarity is the
only requirement.

Newswriters have an obligation to try to be objective in reporting
Every new spaper has places for

the most important tools of newswriting:
Who? What ? When? Where? Why? and

Because there are many "sides" to an

the various vested interests and describe them

flavored - helping people 'to understand the
social-political world around them - is vital,
but something is hollow. Often it is the
"religious" element that exists in their kinds
of humanism, an admirable philosophy
within the framework of European
materialism and inconsistency - as in "new

solve the problem of "sickness of the spirit"
simply

consciousness is purely physical and

The "limit-situations" individual of the
middle class often demonstrate this type of

Sexual harassment causes and consequences, defined by student
by Josh Remis
Here I am, Spring quarter, writing about
"Sexual harassment". What am I... stupid?
Its sunny outside! Who gives a rip !
Well, actually, the reason I write is that
spring is not only the season of s un and
"budding love", it is also the season of sexual
hara ssment (S. H.): Evergreen often
expe'r iences increased numbers of reports of
potenti al S.H. during spring than they do
ALL YEAR . Perhaps people are finally

getting fed up with behavior that they have
been enduring all year, or tiring of the
persistent attentions of someone with "spring
fever". Whatever the case, it seems the time
is ripe for some clarification as' to what
constitutes sexual harassment.
First off, you should know (and
probably already do) that the law guarantees
everyone the right to pursue their academic
and work careers free from discrimination.
This includes discrimination based on race,

handicap, familial s tatus, and gender
(hopefully the law will soon include sexual
orientation, as well). The courts have found
that sexual haras sment is discriminati on
based on one's sex, and therefore is a form
of illegal discrimination.
What is sexual harassment, then? Many
people with whom I have talked think that
S.H. is when a professor says to a student
that unless he/she sleeps with himlher, then
the student isn't going to pass the class. That
certainly IS sexual harassment, and it does
occur, but it is by far the least common type . .
The most common type of S.H. is what
is referred to as
"hostile environment".
This
is
when
unwelcome sexual
advances, requests for
sex ual favors, and
other
verbal
or
physical conduct are so
perva sive or severe
that they have the
purpose OR effect of
unreasonably
tnterferin g with an
indi vidual's work
performance and thus
create an intimidat ing,
hos til e, or offensive academic/ wo rking
en v ironment.
What is "unwelcome verbal or physical
conduct"? These are statements or physical
acts. The behavior in question can be sexual
harass ment ONLY when it is unwelcome.
Therefore if one person makes a sexually
charged statement to another, and the person
o n the receivi ng end does not find the
comment offensive, there is no sex ual

harassme nt. The challenged conduct must
be unwelcome in the sense that the student
did not solicit or incite it, and in the se nse
that the student regarded the conduct as
undesirable or offensive.
How is it determined whether the
conduct is " unwelcome"? Unwelcomeness
is determined. as stated above, by whether
the receiver finds a comment offensive. It
may also depend on whether a receiver has
in some way communicated unwelcomeness.
In a practical sense thi s is what makes sexual
harassment a tricky thing to evaluate: Men
and women receive differe nt cultural
conditioning as to
what is acceptable
a nd
not
acce ptable . ·One
person
may
interpret sex ually
derogatory
or
charged comments
as harmless jokes.
while another may
laugh even though
they are offended
because they feel
soc ial pressure to
do so.
Therefore, it is
important to think about our behavior before
we blurt out sexual jokes. comments, etc .
Not j ust because of gender di fferences in the
way we interpret comments. but also because
of other relevant experiences many men and
wo men h ave . For example, yo u may be
hanging out with someone, either a man or
woman, who has been raped or sex ually
abused. Sexually derogatory statements or
repeated sex ually charged comme nts are
probably something you would not make if
you knew of their experience (and often you
won't know).
How is it determined whether or not the
established unwelcome behavior is pervasive
or severe enough to be S.H.? This is what
I'll deal with next week . I'll also answer the
burning question, "Can one remark or
incident constitute sexual harassment?"

One person may interpret
sexually derogatory or
charged comments as
harmless jokes, while
another may laugh even
though they are offended
because they feel social
pressure to do so.

OIYInpic proportions
The Last One
by Seth "Skippy" Long
So that was it, huh?
The whole Brenda-Dylan thing was
too damn cliche to accept. It was like a
bad tabloid front page (as opposed to the
entire show, which usually isn ' t all that
much better caliber). I was really hoping
that Aaron Spelling wouldn't fall into that
trap but who was I kidding, ratings are so
much more important than ori gi nality or
integrity.
And did Brandon w rite hi s own
script again? How else can you explain
the Threesome-style dream seq uence? At
least he ended it with Kelly coming back.
That really made my ni ght.
Could you believe David? Sleeping
with hi s pseudo-manager in a sleazy limo
and then invitin g Donna in to view the
remains (empty wrapper) was beyond
sick. But what the hell, he got laid. right?
Watching that scene made me feel dirty.
Excuse me , I need to shower.
And then there's Andrea. Puhleez.
Pat sa id he had goosebump s. I think he 's
more of a sucker for cheese then me.
Didn ' t we all see the money scam
business coming at Dylan like the 5: 15
Amtrak? Come on man, get a clue and
pull your head out. My god ....
Finally, the most pressing question
of the century, more pressing even than
"Who shot lR.?" is ... will Brenda stay
or will she go?
They didn ' t even attempt to answer
this in the way-too-Iong twp hour time
slot. My theory is that they filmed the first
episodes of next season while little miss
melee was still under contract. No word
yet from Spelling Entertainment.
Well, that's it. My last Bev Report.
Glad to have been a part of someone '5 life
for the past two and a half years. Good
luck with whatever you folks do and
happy trails. I'm outta here.

Spring quarter student art displays
"Long have we tried, all of us who have, to
remain att'lched to outdated ideas of what
art should be. J would like to , for the
purposes of this [article], redefine it now : art
is anything that pleases the public
aesthetically, is inspired religiously or is
associated with the Church, and/or uplifts
and enlightens it's viewer in a pleasing,
positive, and non-offensive manner. Any art
that fails to meet this criteria is actually
furniture."

.

Timeworks: Jeremiah Moore
This display has to do with how "clock
time" makes us think in this rigid, lame
fashion. in contrast to how non-clock time
would make us feel more relaxed and groovy.
Lots of clocks line the ~aJ\, a video tape
shows fast-motion images in contrast to slow
motion images. Slide projector images n ash
on the wall. When you go in, there is a box.
You go start a tape player, go inside and shut
the door. This would be an ideal place to
smoke out if the fire -alarms didn't go off,
because the music is way-relaxing and
hypnotic. It's better if you turn the lights off
and sit in pitch black, and co ntemplate how
you could possibly loose your mind doing
this, or that the devil might appear and take
over your soul. or you could be ~onfronted
with a terrifying image of your true se lf. like
that kid in "Neverending Story" (a truly
strange book).

Refraction: James Luckett
Black and white photography line the
walls. None of the images are in focus.
Subject matter is very personal , snapshots
of super-eight film from the artist's infancy
(they looked like family pictures of my
grandparents on my mother 's side who were
Irish gypsies), and could ha ve been taken in
the fifties or sixties, giving them a rather
disturbing feel. This exhibit takes about five
minutes to scan (fifteen if you just smoked
out in the sound booth in the previous
exhibit); after talking to James, I gathered
that this was purposely done, so that the
di sp lay would be viewed as a whole
continuous image rather than several
indi vidual pieces. But through talking to the
artist, I felt I understood and empathized with
this ex hibit more than I would have just
looking at it. Perhaps I was the wrong person
to write thi s art ic le , because due to an
accident in my chi ldhood , my feelings
towards art in general have been completely
numbed.

challenge the use of daily objects .. like milk.

by Demian A. Parker
I remember the first nachos I ever had
in Olympia. Sitting in The Smithfield on a
cold Sunday afternoon with some classmates.
Nachos sounded like a good food because you
can share them.
When the food came, it was just like my
mother used to make. Kinda skimpy on the
not quite melted cheese and piled high with
the cheap, crushed chips. But maybe it was
the company, maybe it was the atmosphere at
The Smithfield, but these nachos were actuall y
pretty good. Not great, but something I could
see myself eating again. If only to try and
recapture that feeling of home. If you want
great burritos and quesadillas, then, by all
means, The Smithfield is the place to go.
The next time I had nachos in Olympia,
J was eating at that Mecca of Evergreen, Taco
Bell. What can be said about a place where
sour cream comes out of a caulking gun? It is
fast, it is cheap, and there really isn't a lot of
it (you get what you pay for it).
As an aside, the next time you make a
run for the border, and you have an extra $1.49
plus tax to spare, give the Extreme Nachos a
try. They come with "Hip, Red Chips," and
you dip them in a mixture of "wild sauce,"
guacamole, melted cheese, burrito beans, and
one, miserly slice of olive.
Now the only other place I have tried
nachos in Olympia was the world famous Rib
Eye in Olympia's eastside. This place that
looks and feels like a truck stop out in the
middle of nowhere and can be filled with
rednecks, Oly scenesters and fundamentalist
Christians-a't any time of the day or nightserves a mean plate of nachos. Both the ·
regular kind and something wonderful called
"Irish Nachos."
I have never had the regular nachos at
the Rib Eye. I have seen them eaten, and those
other people seemed to like them quite a bit.

If If
Doesn'f

,jt,
'IIi, it.

~a Books

Also, these things looked like nachos. The
kind you see in ads for Mexican restaurants.
But, 1 have had the Irish nachos. In
facl, I have had the Irish nachos many many
times. I love Irish nachos. Some people try
to tell me these are just potato skins with
cheese, tomatoes and stuff, but I know
better. This is the best food in Olympia's
history.
Yummy? You betcha. Especially if you
like oli ves, because, unlike Taco Bell, these
nachos come with olives piled up the wazoo.
Cheese can be a little light, so ask for extra
cheese to get the complete experience.
Best shared with a friend, late, late at
night.
Demian, "Parker" as I call him, is a
pretty good guy to share Nachos with.
Maybe you should ask him to share some
with you. He'd like that.

Two years of MysticiSD1
by Pat Castaldo
Evergreen Artist Dylan Martens claims
that people "take for granted what reality is."
This statement may not be especially
profound, but the works of art he produced
over his past two years at Evergreen on the
subject are.
.
Dylan's work will be on public display
next week, until then it hangs scattered in
every room of his small off-campus
apartment. Recently, I was invited in to hear
the stories of his paintings.
Reality is at the heart of Dylan's first
painting. Painted on a four-by-four foot
canvas is the image of well, constructed with
five keystones, hangs against a backdrop of
complete darkness. Looking down into the
well, there are heavenly bodies floating
amidst a star drenched sky.
Dylan describes this painting as
showing three levels of what he considers
reality. A conceptual level, which is
represented by the planets in the center of
the well. A perceptual one, symbolized by
the five stones (a direct correlation to the five

senses). And then the third level, which is
the black background, represents true reality,
that which is far beyond human cognition.
Each of Dylan 's paintings tells a story,
and their collection is an anthology well
worth perusal. He plans to display around
IS pieces in all, including a small 'shrine'
of wood and metal he constructed this
quarter.
The shrine is painted in such an
impressive manner that it apears to be
'weathered' and aged.
Dylan will be displaying his work in
the Lec(ure Hall Rotunda, Monday, May 31
through June 3. He will be present during
the day (each day) to answer questions and
discuss his work.
Pat washes his car often. Birds poop
on Pal's car often. That's okay, though,
because everybody poops. Pat's got a book
that says so.

Rationalize by 'Evenstar Deane & Joe Watt
Reasons why everyone should attend
Super Saturday:
Where else could I find
that perfect present for
my dear old Aunt Jane
who lives in Wisconsin?

You cou ld mail her an
elephant ear.

It's a good excuse to
drink a couple of shots of
vodka.

Thill way, you know it's a
hallucination when the
band starts singing,
"President Bill, President
Bill, do you play the
saxophone still."

Super Saturday is the one chance we Greeners have
each and every year to get drunk with the townies and
politicians and show them that Evergreen is more than
Just a bu~ch of pot smoking, nekkid hippies who live
in tents in the woods and take contracts called "The
life and times of a dead possum," or "If we follow the
Grateful Dead long enough, we'll go broke, but that's _
what parents are for, right?"
~

So go out there and act like your true selves.
(Spend money. Lots of money.)
