'Pt(Ytestors mass across from the Ft. Lewis
by Charlie Cambell
Stephanie Lourie clasped hands
with four other women sitting on the
wet pavement at the main gate of
Fort Lewis. She chanted, "The people, united, will never be defeated,"
as two Department of Defense
Police in yellow rain coats lifted her
by her arms and legs onto an army
bus.
Thursday, Department of Defense
Police (OOPs) arrested, cited, and
released thirty-six people. Those arrested will appear in Tacoma Federal

Court and could face up to three
months in jail and a thousand dollar
fine. OOPs cited thirty-three people
for obstructing traffic and three for
distributing literature on a military
base without permission.
The demonstration began at 10:00
am. Demonstrators formed a moving picket line on the sidewalk of an
1-5 overpass. Anti-war banners hung
over the overpass handrailing, and
demonstrators waving their hands
formed into peace signs drew honks
from traffic passing underneath.

DDP's remove one 0/ the thirty-six demonstrators arrested.
The eastern end of the overpass leads
across exit 119 into Fort ·Lewis . The
bulk of the 'demonstrators flowed
across the exit to just outside the left
gatepost.
Helen Sutley, 72, a'nd her husband, clutched the corners of a peace
banner on the blustery, overcast day.
Sutley said, "We've had a long
history of dominating the area [Central America) for our own benefit,
not really for 'Lheirs ... It's their country (Nicaragua) and they want to run
it, and that's what I'm in favor of."

time it was in the Set & Model Shop
in the Library basement. "Vision"
and a number of other items from
the exhibit were being crated for
shipment to the Museum of History
& Industry in Seattle. When the staff
opened up the shop Monday morning, the painting was gone .
Maura
Craig,
Operations
Manager for Exhibit Touring Services (ETS) , explained that Sid
White and Pat Methany-White have
spent three years research ing ,
catologi ng and ha vi ng essays
prepared for the touring exhibit of
art by Hispanic artists from The
Pacific Northwest. This Friday,
November 2, the exhibit is to open
in Seattle with a Chicano/ Latino
Reception . Speakers and guests are
expected from all over the Northwes t . Some are coming from
California.
The exhibit is scheduled to stay at
The Museum of Hi story & Industry
through the end oJ December. It wi ll
then go on tour throughout th e
United States for the next two years.
Craig explained that thi s ex hibil is
important to Hispa nic members of
the Northwest community becau se ir
spotlights the crea tive products of
Chica,no/ Latino cultures. While a
sizeable number of Hispani c peop le
live in The Northwest, the art ists in
their midst have rece ived less allcntion than they deserve .
Craig said that a substa ntial
monetary reward is offered, "no
questions asked," for th e return of
the painting, Anyone with
knowledge of the whereabouts of
"Vision From the Mind" should
wntact Sid White 's office Lib 2502
or 866-6000 extensions 6075 or 6062 .

Stephanie Lourie, who is from
Bellingham, said, "We want the
public to know deaths are happening and to think about that when
they go to the polls. U.S. tax dollars
are being spent in massive quantity
to kill people in Central America."
Lourie is a member of an anti-war
group called Sylvia. The group named themselves after a Salvadorian
Women's brigade who named
themselves after a Nicaraguan
women reportedly raped and
murdered by U.S. trained soldiers.
At approximately II :30 am five
women of Sylvia, wearing black
clothing and · death white makeup,
laid a cardboard casket in the road
and clasped hands across the gate .
Supporters in the crowd cheered.
The officer in charge, who declined
to give hi s name, told the
demon strators to move within five
minutes or they would be arrested.
The group read a list of names of
Salvadorians reportedly killed in
September by U.S. trained so ldiers.
The officer told the group they had
thirty seconds left before bei ng arrested . The group moved o ut of the
road, but the y would be back.
Lcss than thirt y minutes later five

Tuesday,

U.S. Representative
Third Congressional District
Incumbent Don Bonker gets the
nod from the CPJ. He is visibly
critical of U.S. foreign policy, particularly as it relates to Central
America. Bonker wants to eliminate
present international trade barriers .
He was instrumental is disaster relief
assistance to Washington fishermen.
His environmental record is good.
Republican candidate Herb Elder
has no political experience. He wants
to reduce foreign aid, stop government abortion funding and eliminate
"all federal involvement in education." Elder wants to give control
~ 'back into the hands of private
enterprise ...
Elder is greatly outclassed by his
experienced, articulate, able
opponent.

Ballot I nitiath'es
Voters in the State of Washington my enact original. legislation if a number
of voters equal to eight percent of the voters in the last gubernational election sign petitions . I f the initiative mea~ure passes by a simple majority it
becomes la~ in thirty days unless a speci fie enactment day is mentioned in
the initiative. It cannot be modified by the legislature in the,fint two years
without a two-thirds maioritv in both Houses and The Legislature,

Initiative 456
Ballot Tille:
Shall Congress be petitioned to decommercialiu steelhead, and state policies
respecting Indian rights and management of natural resources be enacted?
456 is a dishonorable, unconstitutional and, the best that can be said of
it, ineffectual proposal. It calls for the revoking of fishing, hunting and other
rights guaranteed to Native Americans by treaties negotiated and ratified
by state and national governments . It attempts to add to the phrase "until
tlJe waters no longer run and the sun no longer shines 'The Codicil' or until
we change our minds. " The proper way to cancel a contract that you're
unhappy with is to have both sides give back whatever they got through
the deal, not just one. So if all the Non-Native Americans would like to
go back to wherever they came from, perhaps the Native Americans would
iake back their land and stop insisting on their treaty rights .
Initiative supporters insist that too many agencies manage wild life
resources and state conservation measures cannot be effeclive as long as
Indians can hunt and fish as freely as treaties say they can. Indian gillnetting is specifically blamed for depleting salmon stocks last year to the point
where EI Nino, the warm currents in the Pacific Ocean which shifted last
year, ' had disasterous effects . This argument completely ignores Native
American conservat ion and hatchery work and the fact that salmon and
steel head populations have remained reasonably constant for a decade. EI
Nino was the immediate cause of depletion of resource already weakened
by dams, pollution, logging, farming, bad hatchery practices Canadian and
Alaskan fishing and urban development along waterways. Attempting to
place all the blame for decllning fish populations on Native Americans is
a classic example of scapegoat mentali.ty - placing the sins of the entire
popul a tion upon a victim who is be punished instead of the crowd.
Finally, 456 is likely 10 produce little except further litigation and legal
fee s. The initiative itself is m~rely a petition to Congress, state initiatives
cannot overturn federal laws and treaties . The Black Bass Act which 456
asks that steel head be declared a national game fish under was repealed in
1981. The Indians Citizens Act of 1924 which 456 supporters claim .terminated "any special off-reservation legal rights or privileges" says, "granting of such citizenship shall not in any manner impair or otherwise affect
the ri ght of any Indian to tribal or other property," No amount of wishful
thinking is going to change the fact that over a hundred years ago the native
inh a bitants of thi s land were forced to negotiate with intruders with no claim
to th e land except guns and and superior numbers. A tiny portion of that
land a nd cert a in "rights" were offered to them forever as payment.
Initi a tive 456 attempt s to tak e awa y the meagre inheritance their
descendents have received. It is a disgraceful document and should be resoundingly defeated thi s Tu esday.
Secretary of ' State
Ra lph Munro, the Republican inc umbent seems. to be doing his job
well. He seems to want the job. He
shows up at work. John McKee is
the Democratic challenger, a Public
A ffairs Consultant. His big plan is
to keep the Secretary of State Office
during the noon hour.
Nothing I've heard convinces me
McKee has anything positive to give
to the office he seeks.

THE COOPER POINT .JOURNAL

Initiative 464
Ballot Tille:
Shall the value of tl;llde-ins of like kind property be el!.Cluded from the selling price for the sales tax computation?
This is one of thoses.nappy little numbers that looks great until you think
about it for awhile. The basic argument in favor is that the sales tax on
the value of a trade-in is double taxation, since the tax was paid at the time
of original purchase, Everyone will rush out to buy new cars with the money
they save on the tax on trade-ins so·there would be a net gain in tax revenues.
That is to say, a conservative car buyer heads down to Smilin' AI's to
purchase a $5,000 Chevymobile. He's taken pretty good care of the family
heap, so Smilin' AI gives him a $2,000 trade-in. Well, Mr. car buyer gets
so excited by the $156 he saves on the sales tax because 464 passed that he
rushes down to the bank, sticks the money in a high interest account and
buys a new car two years from now with the dividends, Talk about high
interest!
It isn't -going to work that way. Any savings on consumer items will be
too small to significantly stimulate the economy. The only true beneficiaries
be businesses with really expensive equipment. The tax savings on $50,000
trade-in at 7,8 percent is $3,900; almost enough for a new car.
The real question is who will make- up for the 50 million dollars opponents
~ estimate the state would lose during the 1985-87 biennium. Higher taxes or
~ reduced services seem the only answer. Experience shows that both of those
?. are most likely to hit hardest the group this initiative does nothing for: those
..c:: who can't afford to trade in their car and diamonds this year.
~ The issue of double taxation is a smoke screen, As long as there is an
~ income tax, all other taxes are double taxation. Changing sales tax each time
a used vehicle is sold is double taxation so are license plates; so are business
and occupation taxes. The issue on taxes is whether they are to become more
or less regressive, 464 would give breaks to those with mqney to spend, probably to be made up once again by those without.

1niliative 471
Ballot Title:
Shall public ~unding of abortions be prohibited except to prevent the death
of the pregnant woman or her unborn child?
This issue is hot! The figures fly from both ends. Everyone agrees that
the state paid out a little over one and one quarter million dollars last year
for abortions. Proponents of 471 say our tax bill would go down. Opponents
say it would cost us seven times that just for delivery costs and $25 million
or more the first year in welfare payments.
Those who push 471 see state funding of abortions as a moral and tax
issue, Opponents say society has a responsibility to provide poor women
the same access to medically safe abortion as their wealthy counterparts,
This initiative, if it becomes law, will eliminate safe abortions for poor
women who are raped, poor women whose foetuses are malformed, poor
women who are psychologically incapable of mothering, in fact, for poor
women period. It will not eliminate abortion for women with money,
Through all the posturings on taxation by 471 propo.nents, each one I've
talked to believes one thing: abortion is morally wrong. They hope to pull
in unhappy taxpayers, but the real issue to them .is a religious and moral one.
You can't legislate morality. It doesn't work. It won't stop your daughter
from getting pregnant but it might prevent her from aborting a baby she
can't provide for.

Election '84
continued

"I'm more than a little concerned about the national election next month and more than a little'impatient with those promises
the Republicans made before they got control ... The profits of corporations have doubled while the wages of workers have increased by only a quarter... Prices have climbed to the highest level in history ... Labor has been handcuffed •.• Social Security benefits
have snatched away from almost a million workers ... Fair employment practices •.. have been abandoned ••. Tax reduction bills
have been passed to benefit the higher income brackets alone. In the false name Of economy, millions of children have been
deprived of milk once provided through the Federal School Lunch Program."
Ronald Reagan, October 1948

Here they come again - the elec-·
tions: local, state and national.
There they go again - the candidates: shooting off promises more
numerous than the bubbles in champagne and without half · the
subslance.
How you should vote, for whom
you should vote depends on what
you want our city, state and nation
to be like. Here are the CPJ's
editor 's recommendations. They
may not be righl for you, so each
one is explained.
Vote with us. Vote against us. But
whatever you do -

creating a greater number of viable
political parties or reforming the
political process. The overiding factor is that the Reagan administration
be removed, and to vote against
Reagan we must vote for Mondale.

There are also two local referendum
measures.
Proposition 1:
Shall the people of Thurston County request thait the U.S. Government end
military intervention in Nicaragua and EI Salvador?
How can this one fail? Every day the tales of horrors committed by U.S,
backed forces in Central America grow. Gruesome training manuals prepared
by our government which detail "neutralization" (i .e. murder) of government officials and assault upon civilian populations as not merely acceptable but recommended methods turn out to be fact not fantasy, We support oppressive, right wing regimes and try to bring ' down more humane
governments which are supported by their population,
We, the United States, lose friends and gather enemies each day we continue our present foreign policy continues. We pull ourselves closer to a
Vietnam- style war with each advisor, each dollor we send.
How can this fail? You might not vote.

<;ooper Point Journal

Dear TESC Student;
By joining with or voting for a
political party we attempt to insert
our own ideas and ideals into society; we also hope to improve the
political process. I think for most
people around TESC neither the
Democratic nor the Republican Party has a fully acceptable platform,
but I expect the Democratic piatform comes closer to the ideals of
most of "us" than that of the
Republican Party. If this is true for
you I ask that you vote for Mondale.
Here is why:
In almost any other election I
would prompt people to vote for one
of the minor parties (and a platform
they might agree with) , In this election I feel that the incumbent is such
a terrible president that it is imperative that he be unseated. Clearly Mondale is the only candidate
with a chance of defeating Reagan
(and I think his chance is better than
the media predicts). So, if you agree
that Reagan's administration is the
perpetrator of unacceptable social
injustices (and the Democratic Party would be less so), and that the
Reagan administration is prepared in
mind and machine to wage war for
unacceptable reasons (and the
Democratic Party would be less so),
then I hope you agree that the immediate importance of ousting the
current administration is greater
than the long-term importance of

Editor, The Cooper Po int Journal:
There are leopard's spots on the
Soviet Bear that help identify it for
what it is: their definitions of certain
words and phrases. Here are some
examples,
taken
from
an
encylopedia.
Peace: communist methods of
fighting capitalism and democracy
without war. It is also the condition
that will be achieved when com munism rules the world .
Disarmament proposals : efforts to
keep noncor,lmuni st countries from
preparing their own defense .
Peaceful coexistence: a period durin g which communism advan ces
without war.
Aggression: militar y action by a
noncommunist country in defending
itself from attack by a communist
country.
Negotiation: a method' of advancing
communism by taking a little a t a
time from other countri~s.
Liberation : the seizure of any country by communists.
Struggle for peace: the slruggle for
communism .
A study prepared for the Committee on Judiciary of our United States
Senate agrees with these definitions ,
but in more detail. For example:
"The communists define peace as
the nonmilitary phases of protracted
conflict. To them, peace means:
first, an invitation to noncom munists never to resist efforts to expand the communist empire and to
hasten the communism of the world,
Peace means, second, the utilization
of conflict methods short of war,
such as propaganda, political warfare, uprisings, and guerrilla
fighting, and refers to the nonmilitary phase of armed conflict,
.~uch as the creation of optimum
conditions within which battle can
be risked. Peace means, third, the
terminal point of communist world
conquest, and fourth, the period
after the con.s olidation of the
classless society."
The foregoing report was compiled in 1961. It also contained this
statement: "In 1955 the Senate
Judiciary c:ommittec reported that

THE COOPER POINT JOURNAL

the Soviets, within 38 years, had
concluded nearly 1,000 treaties. The
Soviet government has broken its
word to virtually every country to
which it ever gave a signed
promise. "
An article in a back issue of The
Saturday Evening 'Post magazine
concurs in the foregoing definitions,
and, additionally, includes a number
of words as. written in the Soviet
language (Russian) so that com,
parison can be made .
In view of the foregoing, I wonder
what, if ' anything, we who wish
peace and disarmament should be
doing besides demonstrating and
'petitioning for peace in order to
become more effective.
The trouble is, I don't know It
may help, however, if we learn a s
much as possible about the Soviet
leadership and also about thp. leaders
of any other peoples who promote
violence and world dominance.
I also think that what is known
already has been insufficientl y
publicized and poorly done in those
few instan ces when it has been
publici zed.
As for other countries, present
and futur e, I wish someone who
knows would tell wha t thcy mean by
the words listed abo ve , for it seems
to be more than th e Soviets with
whom we must deal these da ys , but ,
one hopes, not increas in gly rel ati ve
to a bona fide desire for a peace thal
does nOI involve surrender .

Ft. Lewis Protestors Persist In Spite of Arrests

DDPs in making arrests. In contrast
with the gentleness of the DDP's, the
Military Police brusquely dragged
away the protestors by the arms.
Twenty minutes later four people
blocked the entrance again, two grey
haired women, one grey haired man,
and a woman who had earlier been
organizing the demonstration. The
officer in charge cursorily warned
them to move and DDPs lead them
to the buses.
With the loss of the organizer,
deomonst rators left the overpass and
clustered around the gateposts, giving up visibility to 1-5 traffic.
The five women from Sylvia
returned in bib overalls and hillbilly
straw hats. One carried a guitar. The
group, including Stepanie Lourie,
was arrested and carried to the buses
nearly as soon as they sat down in
the gateway.

John Haines, Spokespe rson for
the Northwest Direct Action Network, the group organizing the
demonstration, when asked about
the purpose of the demonstration
said, "We want to stop another Vietnam war from happening in Central
America. 50,000 Gis were killed in
Vietnam. There's a lot of Gis that
live rightJJere, and we want them to
know we oppose the policies that
would send them there [Centr::.1
Americal to be killed." Using a
megaphone, Haines announce.d to
the crowd that despite the efforts of
the Fort to close the military
museum during the demonstration,
it would be open and a group from
Or.egon would like to lead a mar<:h
to it. More than half the two hundred demonstrators turned, crossed
over the overpass, turned right and
followed a paved path to the

museum. An officer at the museu!TI
told the first arriving demonstrators
that the museum was closed.
Demonstrators flooded the museum
yard and climbed atop the great,
defunct tanks and artillery relics.
A blond haired man calling
himself Asamte crawled atop one of
the tanks and poked a flourish of red
and yellow maple leaves in its guP
barrel. "I would just like to say that
I don't think people should make
monuments to implements of
death, "he said, "What could be a
garden where people could grow
food is a graveyard for military
trash. It would be nice to see some
people come in here and paint these
things nice and colorful, and plow
up the ground around them, and
grow the corn so high that you
couldn't see them anymore."
The officer in charge announced

in that it's making something public

necessary for other significant people close to the victim so that they
can be instrumental in changing
destructive patterns of relating and
act as a support network for the
victim.
Victims of eating disorders need
to learn how to regain control of
their lives by developing better
methods of dealing with stress and
self concept. Eating disorders are not
shamefu l secrets but illnesses that
must be treated properly . More information on these conditions is

it tickled his "nirvana center."

black objects absorb all wavelengths.
. Pigments cause color in plants.
Their function is to absorb visible
light to power photosynthesis. Plants
contain many different kinds of
pigments to optimize light absorbtion over the spectrum. Green
pigments (i.e. chlorophyll molecules)
are usually the most numerous
pigments in a photosynthetic leaf,
and therefore plants appear green.
Other pigments, though less
numerous, are also contained in
leaves. These may be yellow, orange
or red colored.
, Chlorophyll molecules are the first
to "die" when deciduous tree start
to shut down in the Fall. The
recessive yellow, orange and red
pigments then become dominant.
And that's why leaves change
color.

In the privacy of our heart, each of us knows that we human
beings are in deep trouble . Frankly, it's embarrassing to be a
member of a speCies that has gotten into such a mess . So it's
tempting to block out the threats to global survival, or to settle
for believing that we are powerless to change them.
We choose to laugh at the nuclear situation because it is so rife
with absurdity. By laughing -- roaring -- at the nuclear pickle , we
celebrate human fallibility, human creativity, and our will to survive. Come join us to laugh at the beast!

Style Wars is th~ definitive account of
New York's 'hip-hop' subculture-the
cradle of graffiti, break-dancing and rap
music which have rocked the international worlds of art and entertainment.
The film journeys into the secret world of
the city's graffiti writers who risk arrest
and injury in subway tunnels and train
yards to win fame for their names and
their artistic prowess. Style Wars offers a
gallery of remarkable personalities and a
vivid display of art, music and dance
from the heart and soul of a highly visible, yet little understood world . (1983,
U.S., 60 min.)

Claymation has become one of the most
popular forms of film animation in recent
years largely due to the efforts of Will
Vinton Productions in Portland. During
the past decade, Will has received more
Academy Award nominations for his
animated shorts than Disney. Craig
Bartlett, an Evergreen graduate who has
worked with Will for the past three years,
will be returning to Olympia to discuss
the process of claymation and introduce
some of their more famous works, including Dinosaur and The Great Cognito.
Selections from their first feature-length
film, The Adventures of Mark Twain, will
also be shown. ~ot due for release until
next year, Mark Twain represents three
and a half years of work animating over
130,000 individual frames.

The War at Home chronicles the drastic
social and political changes that occured
in Madison, Wisconsin and throug.hout
the country during the Sixties, when
students and other anti-war dissidents
waged their own war against America's
political system , military and notions of
patriotism. The War at Home emerges
as a dynamic and compell ing study of
how the anti·war movement grew as a
genuine people's revolt in tandem with
the escalation of the Vietnam War, and
documents how American foreign policy
and values were challenged and
changed .

Olympia is fast becoming the hottest little Rock & Roll town in the
Northwest. Take this past weekend
for example. On Friday, October 27,
local rockers could choose between
Sundance, a Seattle-based reggae
band playing at the 4th Avenue
Tavern, the enchanting folk music of
Jonathan Glanzberg at th Rainbow
Restaurant , or, for the more adventurous, a real swingin' bash at an
abandoned house on the Westside
which featured performances by The
Young Pioneers, Communicator,
and several other incarnations of
"The Olympia Sound ."
.
For those fortunate enought to
still be standing when Saturday night
rolled around, more hip music made
it self available: The Ventures ,
America's greatest instrumental
Rock & Roll group, played two
shows at St. Martin's Pavilion in
Lacey; Sundance and Glanzberg performed again at their respective
venues, and the lobby of the CAB
Building of The Evergreen State ColIge was the site of this year's KAOS
Halloween Masquerade, featuring
the likes of Beat Happening, Factory
Girls, and Tiny Giants .
. As if all this weren't enough entertainment for one weekend in this
smallsth city once known as
Smithfield, Sunday found the
Fabulous Tropicana hosting yet
another fine evening of rock & roll
in the form of The Blackouts,
Young Pioneers, and The Cryptkicker Five.
It wasn't a particularly large audience which turned out to see this
show, maybe seventy or eighty people, but it was a good one. Mostly
the same smart looking young people yo,u see at your average
Tropicana gig, wishing to see a good
band and dance a bit.

Brad Sweek of the Young Pioneers

What they saw was in fact three
good bands, starting with Th~ Cryptkicker Five, a Seattle-area group
named, presumably, from a line in
the Bobby "Boris" Pickett Song,
"Monster Mash." These three guys
and a girl, dressed all in black, were
the right kl ndil band forthe ,HaHoween season, and go the crowd up
and moving with their highly
danceable horror-at-surf-beach
sound. I was impressed by their bass

Local Music Scene

Ventures Srtill
Sound Good
by Kevin Olson

roared through such classics as
"Pipeline, " "Tequila, "Apache,"
and "Hawaii Five-O" I couldn't
help but clap my hands and stomp
my feet to the music. Scanning the
crowd, I noted that my friends and
I were the youngest people in the
house who hadn't been accompanied
by a parent . For the first time in my
life, I felt a little out of place at a
Rock & Roll show. But this wasn't
about to stop me from enjoying the
Venture's performance. Nokie Edwards, noted primarily for his electric guitar work, awed the crowd
with his virtuosity on classical guitar
on a couple of slower songs. Rhythm
guitarist Don Nelson showed that he
. can really sing' if he wants to on
" Runaway' and Mel Taylor's 10
minute drum solo during the encore,
in which he drummed a bass solo on
the strings of Gary Wood's axe while
Woods formed the chord with his
left hand left the crowd hooting in
amazement.
tI

The Ventures have been together
for 25 years and have sold over 65
million albums, making them the
most successful instrumental group
in America. Their influence remains
prevalent in much of the music coming from contemporary musicians
the world over. The jaunty, gu.itarbased sound they helped pioneer in
the mid-sixties with songs like
"Walk Don't Run", "Let's Go,"
and "Telestar" has proven itself
over the years to be thequintessential West Coast Rock & Roll sound.
Their music has recently gained a
whole new audience of young people, many of whem were still in
diapers when their songs were selling by the millions.
The Ventur<!s aren't kids
anymo re. Their faces show the effects of 25 years of Rock & RolL I'm
not gonna try to kid .you. They look
like a bunch of old farts. But when
they took tire Stage at St. Martin's
Pavilion Saturday evening and ripped into the opening chords of
"Walk Don't Run" it didn't matter
what they looked like. These guys
can play.
Unlike many of their contemporarys, the issue of age has had
suprisingly little effect on the Ventures. Perhaps because they've
always been primarily an.instrumental group with an appeal which
transcends that old Rock & Roll
sidekick, the generation gap, The
Ventures have been afforded the luxury of growing old gracefully in a
business where youth is king. Since
the sleeves to their old albums rarely included a pholOgraph of the
band, their fans probably weren't
much concerned with what they
looked lik e anyway. They were intended to be listened to, simply
because they sounded good:
Well, they still sound good. Their
first performance Saturday evening
~as truly impressive. My friends and
I had gotten free tickets to the show
at the TESC information center. Our
expecta tions, therefore , weren't
unrealistically high. But as the band

For me the best moment of the
sho";' came during "Wipeout" when
one of Taylor's tom toms came loose
from its support in the middle of the
song. Woods (sitting in for regular
bassist and Ventures co-founder Bob
Bogle, who was ill) saw what had
happened and, just before the drum
break, turned around and held the
drum in place so Mel could play the
song the way it's meant to be played.
And believe me, this old fart can
play.
. It's hard for me to imagine doing
anything for 25 years, even Rock &
Roll, but as anyone who was in attendance Saturday will attest, The
Ventures showed that not only can
it be done, but it can be done well.
Frankly [ was disappointed there
weren't more young people on hand
at the 6:00 show, especially considerin g the [nfor Center's handouts of
freebies. For those of you young
farts who think you know what good
Rock & Roll is an haven't seen the
Ventures play live, I suggest you
catc h 'em the next chance you get.
They might not be around for
another 25.

Lutes scored on an indirect free kick.
P lay continued to be primarily
defensive on both sides until late in
the game. The Geoducks finally
began moving the ball through the
PLU defense and taking some shots
on goal. With five minutes remaining Evergreen scored on a penalty
kick. PLU's goalie was called for a
foul and mid fielder Matt Louy took
the kick for the Geoducks. His shot
tied the game . The remaining
moments were action packed as each
team struggled to score again .
"Neither team was able to
estab lish much offensively," said
Coach Arno Zoske. "¥ou have to
give PLU credit. They put great
pressure on the ball and neutralized
our playmakers. We. were seeing a
lot Ollt there, but had difficulty
generating the play." The Geoducks
countered PLU's defensive play with
some very tenacious defense of their
own. Zoske praised Stan Jones, Darrell Saxton, John Purteman, Tom
Boatright and Kevin Schiele. "They
played a very strong game and gave
100 percent effort out there," he
said.
The Geoducks still have a chance
to advance into the District playoffs,
but it's a pretty slim one. Since PLU
was their last district contest,
Evergreen finds itself in a wait and

see position with three Distiict play
points. (One point is awarded for
every tie.) PLU and Whitworth each
have lwo points and one remaining
game, with Whitman, who currently has one point in district play.
"Unless these two games end in ties,
it 's almost certain one of these
schools will emerge with more than
three points," explained Zoske.
"They, then would go on to play the
Northern bracket willner, probably

Simon Fraser. We are an exciting
team, still improving with every
game. It's too bad we're running out
of games."
Last Home Game: This Sunday,
October 28th, at 1:00 pm, the
Geoducks face the University of
Puget Sound Loggers . The
Geoducks defeated the Loggers 2-1
in' overtime during early season tournament play.

space saga of the year 3000 A.D.
The grand pri ze winner will
rece ive a top cash award of $1000
and a Hollywood screen credit if the
winning logo artwork is se lected for
use in the Battlefield Earth film productions or on the titles.
Second and third prizes of $750
and $500, respectively, and 20
runner-up prizes will also be
awarded .
The judges for the Batllejield
