Why Devo is the greatest band in the
history of Rock n Roll
Dy Wil Forbis
Everyone has their favorite band, the band they
feel has a strong effect on them. I am not here to tel l
you of my favorite band, for my puny concerns are of no
interest to you;
I am here to inform you of the grea te st
band in the world.
Hands down.
Unconditionally.
That megagroup of c ourse is Devo.
My Devo experience
began several years ago upon walking in to a small record
store in Hawaii . I inquired to ' wha t the great tunes were
flowing forth from the in-store stereo.
"Devo" , the clerk
replied.
'Devo ?!" I thought. "You mean the idiots dressed
up in dog dish hats that sang about masterbation?" Still,
t he musi c was good so I purchased the tape.
As I slowly
bui lt my Devo c ollec t ion I realized there was a whole world
here for those brave enough to entertain it.
Of course if you admit to liking this fabulous quintet
you experience a social castration of sorts.
Something is
'not right" with you and you would [be] much better off
listening to the ear numbi ng ramblings o f INXS [o r the Spin
Doctors--ed.]. Unfortunate ly people with that opinion are
blindly going through life never really being e~ l ightened.
The truth of the matter is that Devo surpass all forms of
music that this lost generation has credted.
Early
Rock'n'Rol1 lacks the creative keyboard weavings that exist
on all Devo albums; heavy me tal cannot acheive Devo's
quiet finesse while still using blaring guitars. As for
the 'rebeliousness" of Punk Rock ta quality somehow
acheived by dressing alike and listening to the same
music), nothing is more genre breaking than Devo's merging
of Casios and Stratocasters.
Lyrically Devo still remain supreme.
Bob Dylan, top of
the heap? Pish posh, how could he match the biting sarcasm
of "It's a Beautiful World" from the New Traditionalists
album. Could John Lennon match song titles like 'I'm a
Potato" or 'Pink Jazz Trancers"? Phrases such as 'They
tell us we lost our tails . evolving up from little snails"?
Pure lyrical poetry, man!
You can see now when President Bush announced that if reelected, non-Devo fans would be thrown in education camps
and "converted", I threw away my Clinton pins.
But for
those one or two folks reading this who have yet to have
Devo touch their lives , don't fret.
You can pick up their
early recordings on DEVO HARDCORE or their just - released
BEST OF /WO RST OF set . Your life will improve in ways
beyond imagination.
I should note this was written around f.('lY of 92. Sadly,
President Bush's re-education plan was IJOt to be.--W.H.F.

tlell I§ a ()41l?'"

fann
by Josh Ploeg
From 1976 to 1984 I lived on
dairy farms in the Bellingham
area ...
ringworm, n. I. any of various
contagious skin diseases, as athlete's
foot, caused by several related
varieties of fungus and characterized
by itching and the formation of ring·
shaped, discolored patches covered
with scales or vesicles.
Oh goody, now I get to tell you about
the dreaded RINGWORM. Just
imagine if you scraped your elbow
across a slab of rugged concrete. That
is what ringworm looks like--a
circular area of scraped and raw skin
appearing whitish and cracked, with
something of a "dry, rancid boil"
quality to it. One catches the friendly
fungus by bringing cuts or abrasions
on the skin into contact with either an
affected area (directly), or something
that has touched the affected area. I
caught the wurmy worm about a
dozen times, always from cows. Due
to it's extremely infectious nature, I
was always deprived from scratching
the deeply itchy sore, lest it spread to
other parts of my body ( you can only
imagine). Mostly, I suffered on my
arms, though. Ringworm may be
cured by keeping the infected area
clean and putting an. antibiotic salve
on it (neosporin, etc.). It was always
fun going to school with it, one time
I used mine for show-and-tell. At
least then the other kids wouldn't
avoid me. Damn cows anyway ...
Another persistent, yucky part of
farm life is the way in which dead
animals are disposed of. Whenever
one of the poor creatures dies (as they
are wont to do), this thing called the
"rendering truck" C(lmes to haul off
the carcass. It is rather like a dump
truck, with !he capability to lift it's
bed and pile off a load of "dead
weight". One difference between a
dump truck and the rendering truck is
that the rendering truck has a hook .
and chain reeling system located in
the back, with which to dr-ag dead
animals into the back without the
workers having to deal too much with
it. Unless something gruesome
happened to the animal and it is too
messy for a hook to handle (now it's
time to shovel beasts into plastic
bags). One particularly nasty thing
about the truck is that it tends, during
the course of the day, to pile up high
with the carcasses of cows, pigs,
sheep, and horses. Thus, when it
passes by, or, even worse, one gets
stuck behind it" you are treated to a
view of stiff legs and stray heads
sticking up in the air. It smells bad
also. The stench of mass death, shit,
stale milk (from calves), and rot are
more than apparent. This, however, is
nothing compared to the truck's
destination: "The Rendering Plant".
This dreadful place gives off the same

putrid reek in tenfold, plus a bizarre
"processing" smell, something like
bubble gum and formaldyhide. Here,
the animals are skinned, beheaded and
generally discombobulated. It's not
well known what is done with all of
the body parts after they are removed
(better look ~ at that hambnurger,
pal). But there are three things I do
know: I )Iocal schools take kids on
field trips there; 2) workers sit on dead
cows & horses while enjoying their
lunch; 3) the place is thoroughly
disgusting. Animals that are too small
for rendering go into the garbage with
a) toxic farm waste, like syringes and
gloves and such or b) everything else!
kittens are an example of such
animals. They die frequently. We had
some thirty wild cats on our farm, and
I have a particularly awful story of the
death of four kittens to share:
Attached to the outside of our barn
was a small utility building, which
included two large fans located outside
of the building. The fans had grates on
their faces (for protection), and turned
on automatically at intervals
determined by the milk's temperature.
One day I was walking near these fans,
when I heard meowing. Stooping
closer, I observed that four kittens (a
few weeks old)., had managed to crawl
through the grating and were adorably
curled up and mewing in a space
between the fan and the side of the box
which contained it. I stuck my hand in
to remove the cowering kitties (they
were in a difficult pla"e to reach,),
when, as "luck" would have it, the fans
turned on. I could not get them out.
they were frightened and crying, and
the fan was creating some kind of
vacuum. They were being pulled into
it. I ran and got my father "You have
to shut off the fan! Shut it off! Shut it
off!" I screamed. When he finally
understood what I was trying to tell
him, he ran back to the barn with me,
saw the schreeching kittens and
whirring fans, exclaimed some
sympathetic obscene ties, and tried to
turn it off (by running up into the
hayloft and flipping the switch in the
fusebox, this was the only possible
way). He was too late. I saw blood, I
saw severed paws, ears, heads and
pulp, I heard no more screaming, only
the thumps of their deajoo¢d bodies on
the sides of the fan. They met their
deaths on cold metal. I was seven
years old.

. THE EVERGREEN STATE COLLEGE

April 7, 1994

by Oliver Moffat
The homeless of the Olympia area are
washing their tents to prepare for another
encampment at Sylvester Park.
More than 30 homeless people will be
on the streets after they lose their rooms at
the Holly Motel on Tuesday. April 12.
Homeless previou s ly camped in the
Evergreen woods h ave vacated their
campsites after Public Safety notified them
that their camps were illegal.
There is still no homeless shelter to
replace the First Baptist Church Men 's
Center which closed March I. Homeless
people occupied Sylvester Park in downtown
Olxmpia after a March 1 rally, but on March
16, the office of the Govenor ordered them
to leave.
The Department of Community Trade
and Economic Development (DCTED)
arranged for rent vouchers for about 34
homeless people at the Holly Motel in Lacey
from March 16 until April 12.
Mary Walker. a homeless acti v ist now
living at the Holly Motel , says that the 34
people stay ing at the motel on Martin Way
in Lacey will be "on the street" Tuesday
when their rent vouchers expire.
The Sustainable Community Homeless
Empowerment Movement (SCHEMe) will
be having a tent wash at Sylvester Park at 2
p.m. Saturday to prepare for another protest
e ncampment.
About 12 homeless people came to
TESC woods to camp after being evicted
from Sylvester Park on March 16. Public

Safety officers notified the campers of the
campus habitation poLicy which prohibits
camping. One note left by Public Safety
said, "You have 24 hours to vacate this
campsite or be charged with criminal
trespass."
The messages given by the campus
securi ty officers were ruled unauthorized
because, as Gary Russell, head of Public
Safety said, "when dealing with homeless
folks there are mitigating circumstances."
According 10 Russell, Executive Vice
President T. L. "Les" Puree was concerned
about the homeless people's situation.
On Wednesday, March 30, Russell,
Purce and a Public Safety officer notified the
homeless campers that unauthorized
habitation was prohibited, but invited the
campers to come and meet with either the
public safety office or the vice president's
office to "work out some other alternati ves. "
By Monday, all the camps were vacant.
It is not known how many of the
homeless campers were Evergreen students.
Art Costantino, vice-president for
student affairs, says that Evergreen now has
tools available 10 assist homeless students.
Money is avai lable for short-term, no
interest loans to homeless students to pay
for a room in the dorms . The Evergreen
Development Office recently received a gift
of $ 1,000 for this purpose .
Other resources are available to
homeless students through the Financial Aid
Office which can provide financial support
and maintains the Job Bank. The health
center also has been collecting food for
students.
If students are homeless and ne,ed
assistance, they can contact Pal Schock, an
academic support counselor who works with
a committee of concerned staff and

other buildings.

JerviS, Cushing seek student response to semester proposal
by Sara Steffens
Although De a n John Cushing and
President Jane Jervi s now say the earliest
Evergreen could convert to a semester system
would be the fall of 1996, students say they
are st ill concerned about the impact that
decision would have on Evergreen's
curriculum .
About 20 s tudent s and five s taff
members a ttended a forum regarding the
acade mic calendar yesterday.
At the forum, Jervis explained how the
college will decide whether to change to
se mesters a nd Cushing cited possible
adva ntages of a se me s ter system. Both
answered students' questions.
Many students said that if Evergreen
changes to semesters students would have
less course choices (eight se mesters in four
years instead of 12 quarters), and that they
would have a harder time finding faculty to
sponsor independent contracts. Also, they
worried that if a they did not like a program
or a faculty member, they would be "stuck"
for 15 weeks instead of 10 weeks.
Although most students attending the
forum will no longer be at Evergreen by the
time the conversion would be made, they said
it was important to them to preserve the
advantages and " flavor" of the Evergreen
education for future students.
At next Wednesday 's faculty meeting,
the faculty will formally vote whether they
want to convert the academic calendar.
According to faculty governance rules, at
least 25 percent of the faculty must vote for
the same option for the vote to be valid. If
this quorum is not reached, or if most vote to

retain the current system, the discussion wi II
be effectively killed.
If the faculty vote to change to one of
the semes ter calendars or the trime ster
calendar, it will be, "stage one of the decision
making process," said Jervis.
If the faculty want semesters, each area
of the college will be asked to evaluate
impacts of conversion, including costs. Jervis
and Cushing said more student response will
also be sought at that time . Eventually, the
Board of Trustees will make the final
decision ba sed on the college's
recommendations.
Of 177 faculty, only 64 (36 perce nt)

responded to the deans' s urvey asking
which, if any. semester systems they pre fer.
Of these respondents :
-29 preferred an ea rly se me s ter
calendar.
-17 preferred the current quarter
calendar.
-6 preferred a lop s ided semes ter
calendar.
-6 preferred a "4- 1-4" calendar.
-3 preferred trimesters. '
-3 did not rank their choices .
Cushing said he is now focusing on
comparing the early semester system with
Evergreen's current quarter system, as those

were the only two c hoices which received
any s ignificant fac ulty support in s urvey
responses.
The proposal to change to se mesters
was first made public week nine of last
quarter. when Cushing and Shannon Ellis.
dean of Student a nd Academic Support
Services. began tryin g to gather initial
student response.
"The issue [of semesters] came up a t
the faculty retreat in February." said Cushing.
Because many faculty were excited about the
idea. the deans volunteered to analyze the
iss ue a nd pre se nt more information to the
faculty.
Said Jervis. "1 think the pressure behind
the increas ing recept iveness to this change
is because Evergreen. along with the other
s tate schools, has been subjected 10 the
increasing pressure of enrollment going up
and resources going down ... Evergreen
workload is increasing at a time w hen ollr

House Bill 1652 will upgrade the

Housing resident life program to undergo several changes
by Patty Cleverley
Housing has decided to change its
Resident Life program for next year in a
move to encourage more student
activities in campus housing. Stewards'
responsibilities for the coming school
year will include more student-oriented
work and less maintenance.
Several people will be hired
specifically for maintenance work to free
up stewards' time and provide better
maintenance for residents.
Currently, there are nine stewards
employed by Housing with three working
in the front office, one in the Housing
billing and five in custodial maintenance.
Stewards will be responsible for
organizing two student activities per
quarter and will hopefully become more
visible and accessible to students.
Housing hopes that this switch in
stewards' duties will result in increased
attendance and participation in resident
events.
By removing maintenance duties
from the stewards' job description,
Housing hopes to eliminate situations
where stewards have to choose between
student crises and maintenance crises.
The new role of stewards will
more closely resemble the traditional job
description of the college campus
steward. According to Housing, the
minor adjustments in position
responsibilities will beuer provide for the
needs of residenK

The passage of this bill was about
as smooth as it geLS on the hill. With
literally no opposition to speak of, it
passed the house 94-0, and the senate 44O. On March 28, \994 Governor Lowry's
signature brought it into law.
HB 2327 was fully endorsed by
Evergreen. Se\ . c' il Evergreen students,
faculty and admlll ,-;lrators testified on its
behalf during its path through the
Legislature. Among those who testified
was Evergreen's legislative liaison
Jennifer Jaech.
According to Jaech, Evergreen
was in compliance with the ADA prior to
the bill and therefore provided the
services mentioned in it.
Further, Jaech said that the benefit
of the ADA and this offspring bill was
that students don't have to make a choice
of college on whether or not it provides
needed services.
This bill proved to be another
victory for Rep. Ken Jacobson (D-N.

sponsor.

In its third session since the
passage of the Americans with
Disabilities Act, or ADA, the
Washington state Legislature finally
passed a bill which provides a clear
understanding of the responsibilities
higher educational institutions of
Washington have to students with
disabilities.
According to legislative staffers,
the intent of the bill, HB 2327, is to
provide a clear statement of rights for
students with disabilities. However the
bill does not confer any new or expanded
rights beyond those of the ADA. It states
that a disabled student is entitled to a
core service if the service is necessary to
accommodate the student's disability.
Core services are described as services
that are necessary to ensure equal access
to higher education.
This bill is a result of the 1990
ADA legislation. As part of that
legislation, the governor's commillee on
disability issues was directed to convene
a task force in charge of making
recommendations on the roles of state
agencies, colleges and universities in
ensuring students with disabilities have
an equal opportunity to obtain a higher
education.
The findings of this task force
produced the recommendation that
legislation be drawn up that describes in
detail core services that should be
available at each institute of higher

Registration woes

Refuting Holoc;austdenial

Students line up in. droves during the last minute rush to pay tuition. Students
who did not shell out by Tuesday faced disenrollment and a hefty $15 fine.
The wait at the cashier's window is often compounded by the large number of
people attempting to deal with the frustrations of financial aid checks before
they can pay tuition. An express lane was open for those only needing to pay
tuition with cash or check (or with nine items or less). photo by Seth "Skippy"

Jewish author and scho lar
Kenneth Stern spoke in the
Library lobby yesterday about
Holocaust denial and its roots
in the white supremacist
movement.
According to Stern, 20
percent of adults and 22
percent of young people in
America think it is possible that
the Holocaust Ilever happened.
Stern's lecture was
sponsored by the Jewish
Cultural Center in
commemoration of Holocaust
Memorial Day, Friday.

What's good and bad about semesters and quarters
Here is a partial list of some of the pros
and cons people around Evergreen have
attributed to semesters and quarters in recent
weeks.
Quarters: Our current system.
Pros
-Students can take three different 16credit programs each year.
-Because of the seasons, quarters work
we)) for field studies in natural history,
agricu It ure , etc.
-Our current quarter system allows
. students to prepare two quarters for a spring
internship.
Cons
'Faculty have to write student
evaluations three times a year, which many
feel is a distraction from teaching.
'Students write faculty, program and
self evaluations three times a year.
'Some faculty say 10-week quarters
does not allow " in-depth" study and research.
-Students who transfer in winter or
spring quarter have few course options.

Semest.er systems in general:
Pros
-Faculty write student evaluations only
twice a year. decreasing workload.
-Could mean substantial long -term
savings for Evergreen , because students will
register, pay fees , etc ., one less time each
year.
'Students would have an easier time
finding new programs at the semester break.
This is based on the assumption that
Evergreen would offer more one-semester
programs than one- or two-quarter programs
now offered.
-More paid faculty planning weeks
would be scheduled into the semester
systems.
-Most would place Super Saturday and
graduation after spring eval week.
Cons
-Faculty may need to increase workload
by offering more in-depth mid-quarter
evaluations so that students do not go 15
weeks with no idea how they" re doing.

provides that empty government buildings
can be made available for shelter for the
homeless.
SCHEMe is also considering the Holl y
Motel which may also be for sale.
Mary Walker says that homeless
people given rooms at the Holly Motel have
been able to get jobs because they had
private rooms with necessities like showers,
phones and closets, "things you can't get at
any other shelter," she said.
Out of the original 34 homeless peoplt:
who moved into the Holly Motel, ten ha ve
gone back to work, three are in school and
another eight have found other sources of
income, said Walker.
As soon as a room is emptied, another
person is ready to move in. There are about

15 homeless people on the waiting list for
the Holly Motel and the list grows everyday.
The DCTED made the arrangements
for the rent vouchers which will expire on
April 12. Walker says she can't blame the
DCTED for not continuing to offer the
vouchers because the community and the
government need to address the problem.
"The money is there and somebody should
fund us until a permanent solution is fountl,"
she said.
The rooms at the Holly Motel were
intended to be a temporary solution to the
homeless crisis. After one month , no
permanent solution has been found. For now,
homeless people are preparing to return to
Sylvester Park.

communities, such as last year ' s
wheelchair lemon law. The passage of
such legislation, like HB 2327, has not
always been easy.
During last year's congressional
session a bill nearly identical to HB 2327
died in the appropriations committee.
Rep. Jacobson's staff said lack of
time and financial concerns killed this
previous bill, HB 1172. Jaech cited the
lack of fiscal impact of HB 2327 as a
predominant factor in it's success.
The law should prove to be of help
to both students and administrators. who
now have a clearly defined set of rights
and regulations to ensure the correct and
responsible accommodation of students
with disabilities.

-Total possible number of full-time

-Faculty on the early retirement plan
now sign a contract to teach one quarter of
each academic year. In a semester system ,
they would work 44 days for free instead of
the 19 days they now work for free. (Raising
the portion of salary faculty age 65 to 70

Grammarians get the lowdown on bathroom graffiti
Welcome back, kids! The birds are
s inging, the sun is shining, there's a
warm breeze blowing . .. and we're still
stuck at Evergreen. But spring is upon
us , which means that your dear
grammarians will only be imparting their
worus of wisuom for two more months
before going ou t and joining the rest of
the world outside our safe little bubble.
No longer will we have the lIeat
of enjoying a robust theoretical debate
while in the women's bathroom on the
second noor of the Library building. For
those of you who haven't seen (for one
reason or another), you should check it
ou t.
Boys, just make sure there's no
one in there first. Last quarter, one thread
llIanaged to take over an entire wall in the
stal l closest to the door.
Just why arc we mentioning such
an off-color topic as bathroom graffiti,
yo u ask . Normally we wouldn't stoop so
low, at least for the sake or maintaining
appearances. What' s noteworthy about the
latest thread (thi s one is on the inside of
the door of the same stall) is that it has
tumed into a grammatical debate.
Brava, we say to the clever soul
who first spotted the error in a scrawled
comment that read "Yes, but who's

morals?" (Vanessa is paraphrasing on tllis
one, because we're not writing this
co lumn in the, um, field.) That
anonymous gal gently correc ted the
transgressor with a witty bit of sarcasm.
" Yes, who is morals?" she responded. In
another comment directed towards the
f ir st poorly written query, s he
hypothesized that tlle morals were those
belonging to individuals with a poor
grasp of gmmmar.
It warms the cockles of our hearts
to see people at this sc hool finally
paying attention to something that really
mailers, darnit!
We seem to remember going over
the whole possessive pronoun problem a
while back, and tllough we didn't spend
time spec ifically on who, we outlined tlle
general rul e tha t possessi ve pronouns
don't hav e apostrophes. This is only

excepted by one (our personal favorite).
It seems that who is a particularly
confusing pronoun, because of the
additional complication that each of the
three case forms (subjective, possessive,
and objective) differ from each other.
Who stands apart from the other
rclati ve pronouns, which and t hat
(remember those?), because they don'L
diner between the subjective and
objective case forms. Lovic;a might say,
"Who knows whose letter is lying on my
table and from whom was it sent?" She
would probably add, "Who's responsible
for making such a mess in my lovely
abode, anyway?"
Who is always the subject of the
sentence. In both questions, the subjective
form is used. Who' s is merely a
contraction of who is. Whose is the
possessive form of this pronoun. It is
used as a modifier - in the above
exam ple it modifies letter. The leller did
not spring into being as an independent
entity; it belongs to someone.
Lastly, whom is the objcctive form.
The object of a sentence is not the person
or thing performing the action, but the
person or thing being acted upon.
If Vanessa were to receive a call for
one of her roommates that she knows is

some nasty underpaid phone solicitor
trying to peddle cheap portraits, she
would say sweetly, "the person to whom
you wish to speak has left the country,"
so that the intended victim would be
given a reprieve. The action in the
sentence is wishing to speak. The subjeeL,
the underpaid solicitor, wishes to speak
to the object, Vanessa's hapless roommate.
The underpaid solicitor is referred to as
yOIl, and tlle roommate as whom.
So we hope this clears up some of
that earnest and heated debate in the
second floor ladies' room. An additional
grammatical question was raised in the
same series of, urn, writings. One sincere
philosopher caught herself after writing a
sentence tllat wrongfully contained which.
"Or is it that? " she mused. Yes, it should
have been thaI. Another visitor correctly
identified the proper word by circling it.
Good job, girls! We like to see you all
keeping an eye on grammatical
improprieties, no maller where they may
be. Keep up the good work!
Lovi9a and Vanessa wonder what
sort of tips they taught the men at
yesterday's Sexual Violence Workshop. Is
it something they should be prepared
for?

Biggest obstacle to activism is the apathy of our peers
All types of activists face
obstacles, usually from the group they are
fighting against, but now a new enemy
has emerged. Ominously, tlle new enemy
comes from the activists own peer group.
For morc times than I can count, I
have sa t in a classroom, a party, or any
social function, and heard an activist who
bravely speaks out on an important,
conlIoversial issue only to have someone
[ell them to "calm down" or "relax." Or,
my personal favorite, a sigh comes from
the back of the room (people like this
rarely are bold enough to sit in the front)
saying , "Oh nO! this feminist (or pro-gay
or pro-black, etc.) tlling again."
This type of attitude - that every
activist e nco unters at one point efrect ively changes the paradigm of the
si tuation from one of wntrol to loss of
co ntrol. Essentially, the activist is
compleLCly c urtailed, and her or his
thoughts arc then forgollen.
Most of the time, these types of
co mm ents come from someone who fears
the wo rd s of the activists. The attacker
realizes th e mos t effective way to
diminish the power of someone is simply
by say ing her or his word s are not
important. The cens urer manages to move
the discuss ion away from the real issue
about gay rights or women's rights to a
di sc ussion about the worthiness of the
di sc ussion. And since the commentator
has already cast a tone of dismissal
(usually with sarcasm or palIonizing), the
activ ist is leflLO defend the very idea of
be ing an activist instead of the issue she
or he believes in.
Curiously, this type of repression
usually occurs from a member of the
activ ist's own peer group. The
significance of this cannot be overlooked.
While I don't subscribe to most
conspiracy theories, I do believe that
certain events in our society are quite
calculated to serve the interests of the

Geocon satisfies the urges of our dark sides
I lead a curious triple life.
Sometimes i am a contributor to
the CPJ, an average student at Evergreen,
and do my ordinary daily activities.
On Thursday nights, I am an
outreach worker to Olympia's homeless. I
also occasionally change into a wolf on
those nights and hunt for animals, and
howl at the moon, along with the others
of my kind living nearby.
On Saturday nights, I am a U.S.
Deputy Marshal trying to solve a serious
serial-murder case that has been afflicting
Olympia for the past three months. These
"Pentagram murders" are suspected to be
the result of occult followers, but I know
what they really are: an attempt to
summon a demon into tllis world.
Before you all think that I have
boldly gone where only psychotics have
gone before allow me to explain: I
participate in two "Jive-action
roleplaying" groups on campus.
Live action roleplaying is when a
group of people come together and
assume alternate identities, and act out
what these personas would do.
It's dirferent from Dungeons and
Dragons or other roleplaying systems in
that instead of sitting around a table
talking about what their characters arc
doing, live action roleplaying 'involves a
certain amount of "acting out" in real
life.
This doesn'1 mean . that you
murder someone if your character murders
someone else's charl!cter, but you act out
the interaction as if you were on stage in
a play.
Where what I do differs from
normal actingis that I am involved with
groups of people who play at being
various types of supematuldl creatures:
werewolves, mummies and vampires, for

The
Smoke
Filled
Room
Robert Taylor
instance.
The presumption behind all this
supernatural activity is that the players
live in an alternate universe, where human
societies are largely controlled by
vampires, mages and powerful forces.
This is a world where the dark side of
life is far darker than the world we live
in, and we know how corrupt the world
we live in now is.
The plots of the stories that are
told in these games revolve around
general themes, such as keeping the
humans ignorant of the fact that they are
being controlled by vampires, mages, etc,
or the power slIuggles that form between
various eliques of vampires, or between
vampires and werewolves, or having to
band together to fight horrific beings
(such as demons or even - ugh fairies).
The point of doing all of this?
Well, in a lot of senses, it's an
opportunity to express the dark side of
your own humanity and act it out, rather
than walking into a McDonald's with a
fully loaded Uzi and opening fife.
The idea here is tllat if people own
up to having dark thoughts, emotions and
desires, than at least they are aware of
them and can work upon them - rather
than having them spring forth
unannounced in a McDonald's.
I won't also lie about how fun the

whole concept of live-action roleplaying
is in general, It's a lot like going to a
costume party, except that you are
costuming your mind as well as your
body and showing it off to people. You
build up friends in these game, who may
play your mortal enemies during the
game, but who will pal around with you
afterward. Of course, you aren't just
limited to playing vampires - there's
live action Star Trek spinoffs, live action
comic heroes, live action cyberpunk, and
the list goes on .. ..
(WARNING: BLATANT COMMERCIAL PLUG
FOUOWS)

If the idea of being someone else
for a while interests you, you might want
to stop by G EOCON II in the Library
building this Friday, Saturday and
Sunday. There will be plenty of
opportunities for you to learn how to
become someone else, from being in
medieval times (Society for Creative
Anachronism) to a vampire or werewolf
(CamariJIa or New Dawn), or you may.
just want to play a game of Dungeons
and Dragons, or Risk, or hear about liveaction roleplaying from people who do it
You also might want to gawk at the
30 or so merchants selling everything
from swords to T-shirts to comic books,
or come to a dance Friday night, or watch
some really good movies and Japanese
animated films for free. The admission
price is $4, which is a lot less than the
usual $30 or $40 you are charged for an
average convention, and you might have a
lot of fun, or even end up being someone
else for a while.
Robert Taylor has obviously been
working tpo long planning for this
convention, but look for him in the blue
cloak at GEOeON.

people in power. Because the people in
power alway s support the status quo,
they are the ones most likely to lose if
activists achieve any real change. The
dominant group in our society (those
wi th money, the right race, and the right
sex) have a fundamental interest in
su ppressing activi sm.
The messages we receive all
rein force thi s dismi ssal of activism. The
idea thm youth are apathetic is an old
cliche, but now it seems that youth aren't
just apathetic but instead they take an
active interest in being a pathetic. And
that means that the y desire to see nonactivism, not just to the point of doing
nothing, but doing so mething so that
nothing gets done.
"Be Young , Have Fun, Drink
Pepsi" is just one of the many kinds of
messages that advertisers shoot at us
every day. Beer commercials tout the
good life as a cold glass of beer, a good
woman, and . a fishing boat, also
perpetuating the idea that life is simple,
good, and that activism doesn't belong.
The list goes on of the corporate interests
that desire to see nothing happen, and by
the sound of some, the campaign is
working.

A personal
reflection ...
by Gary Wessels-Galbreath
I am writing this article not as a
representative of First Peoples' Advising,
merely as a member of the community of
color. These are my views and any concern
with them should be directed towards me.
Day of Absence has been an integral
function for the community of color for
nearly a decade. It is our opportunity to
gather in a "safe" environment to discuss
issues and brainstorm about ways to support
each other and help make Evergreen live up
to our expectations.
What I appreciate most about this day
is how much work the community of color
can accomplish. In the past we have been
able to make recommendations to the college
(an example is the ongoing Racial Justice
DTF).
Ideally this day is also an opportunity
for the rest of the Evergreen community to
work on issues concerning diversity and to
take a long hard look at the accomplishments
of the community of color.
We have much to offer Evergreen and
our colleague/peers. Unfortunately our
presence is not always appreciated. What I
would like to offer the Evergreen community
is the chance to talk about diversity issues
while we are away, and to also make
recommendations to the administration of
this college. If we all take the opportunity
to work on our own issues, we can help make
Evergreen a tt:u1y welcoming environment.
We are obviously the "minority" in this
community. but we are not invisible, weak
or without voice. Those of us who choose
to participate in the Day of Absence will be
coming back with renewed energy and will
be asking the rest of thl! Evergreen
community to work with us, to listen. to be
prepared for challenges and to be respectful
to our voices and concenls.
Many of you may not even notice that
we have left Evergreen. If you find yourself
in this situation, please take the opportunity
to learn more about people of color and all
that we have and will offer to Evergreen
while we are here. Also, please join us in
our celebration the following day as we share
our presence with the Evergreen community.
Thanks for taking the time to read my words.

from First Peoples' Advising Services
What is the Day of Absence? The name
comes from a play of that title, written by
Douglas Turner Ward. It is about a town in '
the South, in which all of the African
Americans left for one day. Without its Black
popUlation, the White community finds that
the town in unable te function as usual. They
learned a lesson about the importance that
people of color play in their community.
At TESC. the Day of Absence was
initiated in 1975 by students. staff and faculty
of color. The initial event was a "Talking
Shop" unity dinner primarily for the AfricanAmerican community at TESC. From the
experience at that event, it became apparent
that all of the community of color be
involved, and the first "Day of Absence" wa,
born .
The Day of Absence became an annual
event for the years through 1987 and was
revived in 1992. This year we will gather to
celebrate our unique cultures that we may
continue to work proactively in addressing
how we can thrive in the midst of the raci sm
within TESC.
We will also celebrate and acknowledge
the contributions members of our community
have offered the institution by sharing stories
of victories and strategies for survi val. We
want to break free of the prejudices and
internalized oppression that hinder our
working effectively together as a group and
as individuals.
As always, we are offering this as a
potluck lunch extravaganza. Also, in order
to pay our proper respects for being allowed
to hold the Day of Absence at Squaxin 1~land,
we are requesting that everyone bring one
can or other non-perishable food item to be
donated to the Squaxin Island food bank.
During the Day of Absence there will
be a concurrent workshop held on campus
to discuss the issues and impact of this day
for allies of the people of color at TESC.
Contact Beth Hartman x 6312 and Wendy
Freeman )(6187. They will be convening this
group.
In addition holding a Day of Absence,
the People of Color and the First Peoples'
Community are holding a Day of Presence
at TESC. The Day of Presence is intended to
be a day during which we make our presence
known on campus.
Various events will take place during
the day. We are planning to have drumming
at noon in Red Square, and in the evening
there is going to be reading by students of
color. The reading will be at 7 p.m. in the
recital hall. The cost of tickets is $3.00 for
students and $5.00 for the rest of the
community. All proceeds of the reading will
benefit the publication of the Students of
Color Anthology here at TESC.
We invite you to begin a dialog among
our community on what it means to be absent
for a day. We encourage you to share this
information with other community members.
Bring your calendar to the Day of Absence.
Maps and directions are available through
any of the planning committee members, the
offices of Student Services and Activities. or
First Peoples' Advising Services (Advising,
x6467; Peer Support, x6284; Gary. )(6462;
Ricardo, x6394).
So, all of you mixed bloods, inbreeds,
self identifieds. whatever, come to the day
of absence. All people of color, at or around
Evergreen. are welcome and encouraged to
attend this event The vans will be leaving
the library loop between 8:30 - 8:45 a.m'.
Don't worry, we will provide your morning
coffee once you get to Squaxin. See you
there!

a MOVIE Review
The Rouse oj the Spirits
by Seth "Skippy" Long
One of the first books I had to read for
an Evergreen program was Isabel Allende's
The HOllse oJ the Spirits. It is one of the few
books I have fallen completely in love with.
The book is a sweeping epic that
recounts the semi-fictionalized history of one
of Chile's most famo us families, the
Allendes, as played out by the Truebas in an
unnamed South American nation.
Allende filled the book with memories
of her past. Many involved a sort of
my sticism which gave her book a very
special , chimeric quality. She discusses her
grandmother's psychokinetic abilities as if
they were everyday occurrences and treats
the violent revolution in her country as
inevitable as the changing of the season.
Needless to say, I was more than a little
nervous when I found that sornebody was
doing a movie based on her book. Lucky for
us, though. that the director of the film is the
award-winning European filmmaker Bille
August. His passion for Allende's book is
evident in the tender treatment the material
is given in both screenplay and direction .
The film stars Jeremy Irons as Esteban
Trueba. a peasant who builds his fortune in
order to marry the woman he loves, only to
have her die days before their betrothal.
He winds up marrying her younger
sister. Clara (played by Meryl Streep) whose
mystical powers make most suitors leave in
fear.
Together, Esteban and Clara establish

a country hacienda, Tres Marias, and restart
their lives as rich, powerful landowners and
have a daughter, Blanca (played by the
Oscar-winning Winona Ryder).
Also living with the Truebas is Ferula,
Esteban's spinster sister (Glenn Close) who '
he lps Clara raise Blanca.
The sto ry follows the
Truebas' as the family name
grows powerful due to
the prosperity of Tres ,
Marias' crops. Not
ignored
by
Allende are the
workers who
made
Marias so
prosperous.
We
soo n
learn
of
Blanca's
love
for
Esteban's
foreman's
son,
Pedro
(acted
by
Antonio Banderas
of
recent
Philadelphia fame).
Their forbidden love
feeds the fires for the rest of
the story.
Woven into the story are the
revolutionary overtones that filled much
of South America and the rest of the world
in the late '60s and early '70s.
Anyone knowing how the Allende
government lost its power can figure out how

this story ends. But it is much more than iI
story of South American politics. It is about
true love, desire, spirituality, family honor
and duty.

August's direction is wonderful. He
manages to take an immense, epic tale and
transform it into a beautiful, moving film .

Tori

This is not a Hollywood film. Make no
mistake about that, even though you can see
it at Capitol Mall Cinemas (if it's still there).
The House oJthe Spirits stays very true
to Allende's original story, except for the
ending. I knew going in to the theater that
there would be differences between
the booR and film and that I
would just have to deal with
them.
If I have to find
something about the
film to harp on, it
would be
the
pacing. From the
speedy opening
titles to the
sometimes
choppy editing
and transitions,
editor Janus
Billeskov
Jansen could
have done a
better job. It just
didn't seem to
maintain the flow of
Allende's original text.
If you can find
The House oj the Spirits at
any theater, at any price, see it.
If you can' t see this film, the least
you can do is get Allende's book, which
you should do al1yway.

by Paul Marcontell
Singer/songwriter Tori Amos visited the
UW's Meany Hall Sunday, March 20 on the
first leg of her second world tour. Titled the
"Under The Pink Tour," it follows the recent
release of her second full-length album.
Bill Miller opened for Amos. Miller
played an interesting combination of
traditional Native American flute, along with
country guitar and singing . His strong
rhythm s a nd powerful lyric s provide a
melodic counter-point to Amos's own music.
Prior to the concert Amos spoke to
those of us with press passes (hee hee) for a
little while about herself as an artist, and what
led her to create her music.
She talked about her music as an
expression or reflection of herself rather than
her interpretation of what the audience wants
to hear.
She said that if she touches one person
in the audience with her music, then she
considers the show a success.
Indeed, Tori Amos has highly devoted
fans, possibly because her music seems to
be more honest and real than many other
musicians'.
In person, her straightforwardness is
striking; it is easy to forget that you are
talking to a celebrity . .
Sl1e talked about her cover of Nirvana 's
"Smells like Teen Spirit" saying she think s
this song defines our age, but that it expresses
a male rage, an d s he wanted her
interpretation to express a female rage .

I could spend a few pages trying to
describe Amos's music, but if you don't
already know; there's little I could say that
would do her justice.
·1 can, however, talk abo ut what she is
like in concert; it's not just a question of
sound quality, in concert she infuses her
. songs with a presence that is both temporal
and acoustic.
In concert Amos g ives the definite
impression of living up to her dictum to " be
in the here and now, " to exist in the beauty
of the moment.
The songs metamorphose to form a
conversation between the performer and the
audience. This relates to what she means
when she remarks that the viewer becomes
a participant in "Under The Pink."
Looking back, something I remember
is the strength she put into her piano (or is it
the other way around?) and I remember
wondering vaguely if that piano had a name
(other than Bosendorfer). When she says that
"pianos get a reputation ," I wonder what
reputation hers has.
In her previou s album, I was struck by
the honesty and anger and power embodied
in many of her so ng s; this new album
possesses that element but it also contains a
sense of change.
Amos referred to "Under-The Pink" as
a journey. As she says, referring to a song
called "Silent all these years" from the
previous album; ''I'm not silent anymore."

Fire and Ice, a series of one-acts
playing at the Midnight Sun, features works
by Barbara Zelano, Sky Myers, Bruce Fogg
and Alex Ellis. After eating dinner at the
Mekong, the Midnight Sun is a convenient
20 paces away at the Columbia Street bus
station.
The first piece wasn' t bad. Zelano wrote
and directed "Flaming June," a monologue
featuring Kelly Mills. This crimson story is
about one woman's search for love and
meaning in a world contaminated by bees
incessantly buzzing, as all creatures are
attracted to her scent. Humorous at times,
Mills' lack of stage presence left me wanting
more.

"Blathering Soul" turned the hue from
red to purple as actress Francesca Neville
searched for truth, beauty, and the meaning
of art ~hile the forces of class ic a l,
deconstructionist, and feminist ideologies
clashed in an eternal bitter battle (or so it
seemed). Although the amateurish script
lacked style, the actors in this piece deserve
credit for putting themselves through what
must have been utter turmoil.
The third piece, "Flipping the Coin,"
began with a series of grunts from two nude
men, Bruce Fogg and Alex Ellis. The
grunting did not stop, and as near as I could
tell this was a period piece going back to our
primitive roots. No clothes and no words.
"Flipping the Coin" must be some

male-bonding thing that obviously does not
and will not include me.
Throughout the entire charade, there
was a woman in the front row who would
not stop her hyena-like laughing. What was
worse, I couldn't tell if it was supposed to
be funny. Maybe I would have understood
more if this annoying woman hadn't been
there, but somehow I doubt it.
Overall, I wouldn't recommend going
to see this production. It left a giddy feeling
in my date's tummy.
I got a date out of seeing this series of
one-acts. Alas, something good came out of
it.

Not quite the
The Paper
by Rev. Andy Lyons
Two youths are wrongly accused of
murder. Can Michael Keaton prove they
didn ' t do it, make it to ajob interview at The
Sentinel, and still get to the hospital in time
to see Marisa Tomei gi ve birth to their ch ild ?
Such is the hectic life on a daily paper.
With The Paper, director Ron Howard
[Ritchie Cunningham] delves into the chaotic
world of a New-York tabloid . I e njoyed the
movie so much that I didn't even get up to go
to the bathroom. There was nary a dull
moment throughout the two and a half hours
of fi lm.
Keaton plays the role honestly, inhaling
caffeine and letting his personal life go to hell
for the sake of putting o ut a daily paper.
Caffeine is truly an important factor in the
production of any paper.
Robert Duvall is also in fine form here.
His character is in his last years at The Sun.
His health is decaying, and he has both a
daughter he is barely acquainted with and a
newspaper that has never knowingly printed
something inaccurate due to his vigilance on
the job. If anyone is a case to get out of this
racket. it 's him.
The newsroom Ron Howard portrays is
chaotic. People holler across the room to one
another. They yell, offer rude remarks and
generally get along well. People smoke in the
office, and a paranoid columnist (played by
Randy Quaid) fires a pistol into a stack of

papers to get everyone's attention. It's how
I al ways hoped a newspaper office would be.
But I fear it isn't accurate of today's paper.
One tour of The Seattle Times reveals a
sanitary catacomb of cubicles, si lent as a
tomb save for the gen tl e clicking of
keyboards.
Opie portrays this as well with Th e
Sent in el, a much larger paper that offers
Keaton a job.
All in all. I enjoyed the movie . The
ending is a little contrived. Well. let's face
it. it's down right cheesy as it attempts to
juxtapose images of the latest edition of The
Sun coming off the press and Marisa Tomei
giving birth. On the other hand, anesthesia
might be kind of nice what with this issue
coming out and all...
The Paper is playing at Lacey Cinemas.
and is one of the few movies worth see ing at
the bloated prices that those places charge
these days. But Monday is only $3 and it's
definitely worth that.

8 Seconds

by Vanessa Henry
8 Seconds is an awfully cool movie. It's
about rodeos and a country boy. It's a true
story. Luke Perry plays a guy named Lane.
Luke Perry manages to give a Matt Dillon!
"Tex" -type performance, which of course is
a good thing.
I knew it would be a good movie five
minutes into it. when Lane finished chopping

and toast and made a sandwich out of it. First
he kissed his mother. When th ey were
driving off to Texas down those country
lanes, I turned to my neighbor in the seat next
to me and said. "I love this movie already'"
I really did.
.
There were lots of cool rodeo scenes.
Too bad that the only women's rodeo event
they showed was barrel racing, and that's

only because Lane's wife did it. Lane rode
bulls. That's how the movie got its name.
You have to ride a bull for eight seconds or
you don't get any points. Lane was good at
riding bulls. That's why they made a movie
about him.
I suppose you're all wondering what
kind of acting job Luke Perry did. That's
another cool thing about the movie. It really
didn't matter. Again, I'm not kidding. I
really didn't notice his acting because I was
too busy thinking to myself. "I love this
movie'" You should all see it. Don't even

by Walter T. E. McGinnis
The Olympia Film Ranch is preparing to break out
of its dormancy. What was once a sem i-active volcano of
small, weird. and local cinema will become a.n organization
that facilitates the making of film.
Plans are underway to provide eq uipment for local
filmmakers use, as well as works-in-progress screeni ngs,
a library of books about motion pictures, an archive of
local work on videotape. 'and classes for aspiring media
·artists.
The Olympia Film Society has given space in the
Capitol Theater and access to some of its equipment.
A Super 8mm camera has been donated already, as
well as access to a DAT recorder.
Thing s will start out modestly, but with vision , hard
work and enthusiasm the Olympia Fi lm Ranch wi ll
become a great resource.
An organizational meeting for the Olympia Fi lm
Ranch is being held at noon in the Capito l Theater

Simply not enough Queer media
by Karina LubotT
Monday while I was on my break from work I
encountered a tired and dazed Pat Castaldo. I asked him when
the next CPJ would be out. "Th ursday," he said and asked
me if I would like to review something.
"Have you been entertained lately?" he asked.
U nfortun ate ly, the thing th at had most recently
entertained me was already being reviewed. I noted that the
newest issue of SoulldOw, the South Sound
Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual. Transexual (LlG/Bi/Tran s)
publication had just come out.
Pat urged me to write somethin g. anything, so here goes.
The Olympia area suffers from a great lack of LlG/Bi/
Trans media. This void is slowly beginning to be filled. Before
SOlllldOllt. the nearest publication was the Seattle Gay News.
SoundOut has local issues and articles . The local
calendar of events and community service numbers are
especial ly important for people who are just coming out.
Although SoundOut is helping fill the void, we still need
more voices.

Apart from the CPJ coverage of the anti-Gay initiatives
and random letters to the editor, I haven't seen LlG/BilTrans
issues discu ssed in depth since "Frank + Heidi. xoxo." two
years ago .
Why is it that things like the formation of Stonewa ll
Youth . a support group for LlG/BilTrans you th 21 and under
has gone virtually unnoticed by the CPJ, even though mos '
LlG/BilTrans Evergreen students are under 21 ')
SoundOut. Thekla . the eight-credit gay studie, clas,
TESC finally offered. and the Annual Film Festi val begin
to fill the void.
We need more. more. more!
If every south sound LlG/BilTran s resident wrote one
article a year we would have more read ing materi al then we
would know what to do with.
If you have ever enjoyed writing at all . I urge you to
write on a topic that interests you (especially a LlGlBilTrans
one') and submit to the CPJ or wherever. If I can do it, so
can you!
Karina can be found locked-up in the Parking Booth .

Clubside Cafe changes o~ner~ among other things
by Anne Miller
"It'll be pretty much the same." Chris
Proffitt told me on my first visit to the new
Proffitt's Clubside Cafe. Oh, but no. My
escort Demian and I h"d already noticed
several drastic changes.
First of all . all the cool funky mmors
along th e bar are gone, replaced by severa l
framed Norman Rockwell prints. I noticed
severa l people having a tough time trying to
catch their reflections in the plate glass, not
quite the same as the time-honored mirror
games.
The menu s too. have changed, not
much in content. but rather in style. The new
cursive co mputer typewritten menus
(Demian said it looked like Los Angeles font)

contrasts radically with the old handwritten
scrawl. If this is an attempt 10 bring the menu
style in line with the prices, somehow the
fancy script didn't do it for me.
But by far the most dramatic and
disturbing change at Proffitt 's Clubside Cafe
is the lighting. Now, I may be an overly
enthusiastic Corey Hart fan , but I really did
have to wear my sunglasses at night in there,
even back in the second booth.
My girlfriend will be crushed when she
realizes we will never again make out across
our once-cozy table , not with those
interrogation-bright lights glaring down on
us. Bummer.
As for the food. I didn't notice much
difference. You can still get the spicy fries

and the veggie mushro'om burger, my usual,
but today I chose the Garden sandwich on
gri lled sourdough. I was quite excited to
di scover the sandwich came with a green
salad - so good . and so good for you .
Demian said his burger (meat style)
wasn't as good as it used to be, but I think
that was just melancholy m<;)Urning for
Clubside days gone by.
A definite improvement both of us
noticed was the increased volume of pickles
we got with our meals .
Alas, the bonus pickles were not quite
enough to outweigh the change in service. I
mean. legitimately, it was fine - followed
standard waitress style from initial greeting
to dessert suggestion - but there was

something missing .
It became painfull y clear as Demian
paid the bill just what that mi ssing element
was : FLIRTING. There was a/ways nirtin g
at the old Clubside' If not throughout the
meal . the waitress wou ld c erta inl y do
something wurth tipping when yuu paid your
tab. You cou ld count on it li ke you could
count on " great music selection , which.
come to think of it, was lacking as we ll.
Gosh darn it where "m I going to eat'.'
Without flirting. mirrors. dark romantic
