September 30, 1993
AN END OE TIlE YEAR $TORY
Volume 24 Issue 1
Jervis officially installed as IESC's president
by Andy Lyons
President Jane L. Jervis described
her plans for the college's future during
yesterday' s Convocation on Red Square.
T his year's Convocation, an event held to
help usher in the coming college year and
introduce new staff, featured the
installation of Dr. krvis as the sixth
president of the college.
President Jervis, who took over the
role of Presidency on Aug. 3 of 92,
talked about the college's reputation for'
being on the forefront of innovative
learning styles.
"In just twenty years, we've gone
from being a dream to being a nationallyrecogn ized brand name," said Jervis.
She also expressed the need for the
college to continue to be on the forefront.
The areas she listed were innovation,
turning outward, governance and the
campus climate.
"These form the backbone for the

"Evergrcen was established as an
ex perimcntal liberal arts college with a
strong mi ss ion to public serv ice. This
implies that Evergreen is both a teaching
and a research institution. The primary
s ubject of our research is teaching and
lea rning itse lf, and the institutional
processes that support teaching and
Icarning," she said . "But the research
mission of our institution implies
comm itment to both ongoing innovation
and dissemination of the results of that
research ."

Rape Response Coalition teaching awareness
oy Juli · Abrahamsen
In the past, rape and sexual assault
s urvivors going through TESC's
grievance procedure had no support
system. This summer, a number of the
members of the Rape Response Coalition
have been trained to act as Advocates for
survivors.
An Advocate provides a survivor
with information to make her/his own ,
decision about the whys and hows of
coming forward with her/his story. An
advocate also supports the survivor
through each step of that decision. An
Advocate can answer survivors' questions
"bout the grievance procedures and explain
what each step will mean.
Coalition member Deanna Brown
~aid, " Advocates are a support for
survivors, someone who believes and
advises. Most important is for the
Survivor lo'be empowered to make his/her
own decisions."
The Rape Response Coalition is a
new student volunt~er group which will'
<lpply for S&A fundmg.
The group also worked throughout
the summer to plan workshops in the core
programs about rape and sexual assault.
In the past, workshops during
orientation week were the only rape "
awareness education at TESC. These
workshops were optional and were not
rC<lching all the students.
By bringing workshpps directly to
the classroom, the Rape Response
Coalition hopes to reach a large portion of
the student body.
Brown and Katie Taft, who is also
a member of the Coalition, see the
workshops as a catalyst for dialogue and
awareness about rape and sexual assault.
They stress the importance of letting the
and Evergreen
s tudents, faculty
com munity in general know that sexual
assault and rape happen here, not just in
other places.

women have been or will be raped during
her lifelime, according to the Sexual
Violence Program al Ihe University of
Minnesola. '
Most people who are raped are
violated by someone they knOw..
Sexual violence has been a
co llstanl concern on the Evergreen
campus. Throughout all the philosophical
and ideologi(:ai debate, we often neglect
I he main issue: the impact of sexual
violence on a person's life.
What follows is one women's
story of rape and abuse. Although we do
flol usually accept anonymous
submissions, I have agreed to print it
anonymously because it speaks
compellingly to an experience so often
neglected.
I hope that the following story
helps the Evergreen community to put our
views in a human perspective.

sexual violence or incest, or are in an
abusive relationship. please contact the

"No! I know what you want." He

"This is not what I asked for."
"Yes you did, you said you wanted

did say I wanted it, even if I had never

ever gone. But he seemed comfortable
wilh il, confident. About 10 minutes into
the first night, we kissed. He said he
wanted to go back to his room to get a
condom. I was taken aback, but I
managed to find a no. If I hadn't found
my no in that article by an angry womyn,
I would have maybe found it in the seven
minutes he would have been gone.
Another time later I left, shaking
so bad I couldn't get my hand on the door
knob. He had to open the door for me. I
walked away from his dorm wondering if I
could cut out my vagina and still live.
How am I ever going to be clean? I just
won't cat tomorrow. No. I know I said I
didn't want to have sex. I wouldn't move
until we agreed he would not go inside
me. Did that really just happen? I can't
die now that I am finally free at college.
I went back to confront him after
going and talking with a counselor
advocate womyn.
"How can you say that beautiful
thing that just happened between us was
rape!"
I stood against the wall shaking
while he was still naked in bed. I don't
know what I thought would happen, but it
was obvious he was not going to have the
word rapist associated with him .
That was the founding experience
of our year-long relationship that would
follow. The next day he said he wasn't
sure if he could be in a relationship with
someone who was so emotionally
unstable. I apologized profusely and said
it was my problem, and I would work on
it so it would not come out at him again.
Yeah, love based on a rape - that is real
beautiful.
I wish I had been valued enough to
know, as I do now, I do not have to take
abusive shit like that. This is no
overnight intellectual P.c. revelation. I
was considered a feisty feminist by others,

who manages the ceramics studio and was
a consultant on the design.
In 1978, the first phase .of the Arts
Annex, then called the Lab Annex, was
completed. It housed a metal shop, a
ceramics studio and a greenhouse located
on the roof.
Roughly four years ago, the
greenhouse was tom down and art studios
were constructed on the roof. The name
was then changed from the Lab Annex to
the Arts Annex. The third, and final
phase, has now been completed.
Handicapped accel'sible restrooms
and parking stalls were also included in
the project. Each floor is handicapped
accessible, and 14 parking stalls were
added in the parking area just south of the
Arts Annex.
The overall cost of the construction
is estimated at $1.6 million. In 1991, the
funds were realized and construction
began. The firm Carlson/Ferrin, which is
based in Seattle, designed the building.
The general ' contractor was the local
company Jones and Roberts.
According to Neimiec, not all
machinery will be operational September
27 (for example, the electric kiln), but
will be brought on within three weeks.
Over the course of the fall quarter, Moran
and several students will build two gas-fire
kilns to be functional by winter quarter.

"The Arts Annex supPorts visual

Additions to the Arts Annex

The casting shed was added because
of its importance in three dimensional

EVERGREEN--Cheryl StephanI, an
Well we've got 'em but we don't want 'em so
come get 'em,
Evergreen students nominated to attend.
There she was also able to experience
first-hand the strength in being among
other women with interests in science. It
was at the conference where her ideas for
Scisterhood were born.
Similarly, Killian, through her
experiences as one of only two women in
her science programs, saw a need for a
group supporting women in the math and
sciences . . Callisti and Killian joined
together in the spring to form the
coalition.
Killian sees the goal of the
organization to "provide support for
women so they can get through the
psychological stress of being outnumbered
in class by men. We want to give role
models Lo women just starting out in the
fields of math and science. It will help
lhem recognize that other women have
survived and succeeded. We hope this
group will help women know that we're
a\l in this together."
Scisterhoods flfst meeting was held
on September 23. According to Killian,
the meeting attracted more prospective
members then any other student group so
far th is year.
The meeting began with a circle of
introductions of all the interested students.
Most were currently taking science or
math programs while a few came simply
to offer support for other women they had
seen discriminated against in the past.
Many members of the group reported
discrimination in their high school and
even in their Evergreen years.
Killian describes the philosophies
behind the group. "In my science classes,
1 feel like a curiosity. The isolation is
intimidation in itself. We need to start
early in our encouragement of women in
sciences and math."
At their first meeting the cocoordinators stressed their desire to have a
group defined by what the members
wanted. They plan to define the specific
goals of Scisterhood at the next meeting,
where they will take input from all
interested women. One project which they
have decided upon for this year is the
production of a calendar featuring women
scientists that have inspired them and
paved the way for future generations.
Eventually, they hope to become a
bona fide student group at Evergreen that
will receive the funding and recognition
that other student organizations receive.
Their next scheduled event will be a
science faculty mixer to be held on
October 4 at 7 p.m. in CAB 110.
Evergreen president Jane Jervis, who has
supported Sci.sterhood since its
conception, has been scheduled to speak.
If you would like to get in touch
with Scisterhood, Callisti and Killian can
be reached in their shared office with
Slightly West in CAB 320 or in the
Computer Center in the Library building.

Smoking lounge shut down
by Matt Reeves
It's true! This past summer, the
final decision to close the first floor CAB
smoking lounge was made by · Dennis
Snyder, Director of Auxiliary Services,
c ffective August 1.
The lounge will be closed for a
number of reasons, the first being the
Washington Clean Indoor Air Act of
19H5 , which prohibits smoking in public
buildings, 'cxcept in designated areas. At
the time the Act was passed, all smoking
areas on campus were closed except for the
Lounge in the CAB, which was meant to
be only temporary. A separate ventilation
s ystem was installed, but failed to
eliminate the problem of second-hand
smoke wafting into other areas of the .
CAB . There were complaints from CAB
staff and students about the smell of
cigarette smoke, even from as far-away as
the third floor.
Snyder made the decision In
conjunction with Tom Mercado and the
CAB Tenants. "The air quality issues of
the library got us focused on our own air
quality," said Snyder.
Snyder and Mercado requested that
an air quality test be performed in the
CAB by Jill Lowe, Environmental Health
ancl Safely Officer. Lowe replied in a
mcmo in March that, "There is no need
for me to measure or analyze the air
quality in the are.as surrounding room 104
or the rest of the building. When cigarette
sllIoke can be smelled, as it easily can on
the first floor. .. you can be assured that
the air contains assorted contamin~ts in
,
small quantities."
At this point, there has been only
one formal complaint registered regarding
the closing, but some smokers who use
and work in the CAB are unhappy .
"I don't understand the reasoning.
Twenty percent or more of the student
population is forced to freeze in order to
indulge their desires," said Jim Robinson ,
it Northwest Food Services employce and
a smoker.
Evergreen is not con sidering
replacing the smoking lounge with
another on campus, according to Snyder.
The lounge will now be available to
"o verflow dining" and use by students as a
stlldy area.

Late night computing hacked
by Stephen Tapert
The Academic Computing Center
(ACC) is shortening its hours this year as
the result of uncompromising budget cuts.
The decision to shut the Center down
from 2 a.m. until 6 a.m. every weekday
has made those students, who enjoyed
computing during nocturnal hours, cranky
and irritated. But perhaps no one is as
irritated as the ACC staff themselves, who
continue to face financial scrutiny.
Budget reductions made last spring
ha ve hurt various services at TESC.
Within the Finance and Administration
division, the ACC and other services were
hit hardest by the cuts.
Some budgets in the division arc
mandated and could not be touched by the
reduction. Academic Computing was not
protected in this way, and suffered
cutbacks that tallied at $63,100 which
leaves them today with a yearly budget of
$372,018. Finance and Administration as
a whole receives a total of$7,186,731.
'~de from the budget cuts, the
ACC could face even more financial
obstacles. This November, voters will
decide whether or not to pass Initiatives
60 I and 602. If either pass, taxes and fees
Illay be rolled back, generating further
budget cu ts for many student service
programs.
Closing the ACC 20 hours every
week is just one example of how the
budget cuts have damaged the ACe. With
the loss of one full-time position, one
full-time management position and the
pos ition of one part-time computer
operator, the ACC's services have been
weakened. On the bright side, some ACC

Financial Aid lags again: Stock up

Analysis

So you've psyched yourself up for

extraneous thoughts and are ready to focus
on your goals. However, one small detail
remains that could drop your design inLO a

good intentions, · desires, hopes and
amhitions will not amount to anything if
yo u can't find a way to get there.
Education is not free, but it is available,
and you won't always find it in the
c lassroom.
For many people, Financial Aid is
part of the education process. New
guidelines and programs have meant that
more people are eligible this year for
financial aid than last year. The Financial
Aid Office (FAO) states that last year at
this time, they were processing around
3,300 requests for aid. This year they have
over 4,000. To help with this, they have
added one new staff member and two
temporary workers.
The FAO is also working with
new software, that they expect will help
the process, however they have admitted
that there are a few bugs that need to be

The Evergreen community is
undert.lk ing a search to fill the position of
Provost. An ad for the position is being
published in diverse journals and
newspapers across the country. II reads, in
part: "The Provost must want to work in
a continuously changing setting within a
di verse community of intensely engaged
co lleagues and students." The c hallenge is
s..:t rorth.
But what is a provost? In
traditional colleges, the provost is the
Ilead faculty and a high ranking
administrator who makes decisions such
as faculty tenure, curriculum changes, and
setting and implementing policy. The
provost at Evergreen lias similar
responsibilities, but works in a unique
environment whose culture expects people
in authority to make decisions
co llaboratively among equals.
The provost at Evergreen ensures
that academic standards arc maintained
while monitoring faculty evaluations and
development. The colleges success in
educational innovation so far is deeply
rooted in the faculty maintaining a high
degree of freedom and responsibility for
the curricu lum. The faculty is
au tonomou s and egalitarian, so in this
mle, the provost is essenlia·lIy first among
l'q uals.

dc-alt with. They arc also working
evenings and weekends to finish the
. process.
If you happen to be one of those
unfortunate souls who is still waiting,
Ihe only thing that you can do is make
sure that you have turned in everything
required and that no signatures are
I II issing. That being done, your best bet is
to pmctice those relaxation techniques, and
ge t your mind off of it.
Finally, keep in mind that
Financial Aid is a process that involves
people, as well as forms. The people at
the FAO have an objective to get the aid
out to the people. Problems with the
process and its operation arc their
problems, too. I would like to see if
anyone can find one person in FAO who
would like to sec the process take longer,
or be more confusing.
Remember, the process starts again
in January and so does Winter Quarter.
You ean start thinking now about when
you are going to set the time aside to do
those things that you need to get done to
complete your request for fmancial aid. In
the meaniime, absorb all you can, and
hey, relax out there.
David Virak watched me eat rice
and beans today.
. Within the Evergreen environment,
tile provost works with the president, the
Board of Trustees and the Vice Presidents
in formulating and implementing the
policies of the college and acts as chair in
the strategk planning process. As
academic representative to the outside
environmenL, the provost advocates for
Evergreen. For example, the provos t
interacts with other colleges and together
they affect how the legi slature thinks
about improving the quality of higher
education.
The provost must be an academic
vis ionary looking into how our
c urriculum shQuld evolve . The
interdisciplinary structure of our
curriculum, for example, was strongly
inlluenced by the vision of a past provost.
Through curriculum changes, the provost
Illust hono r the looseness of class
ollerings while g iving them some sort of
cOllsistency in response to changing
inlerests.
This summer, a nationwide search
!"or Evergreens new provost began .
Applications are arriving (150 at the last
count), and the interview process will
begin soon. Towards the end of Fall
Quarter, the final candidates for the
position will be on campus for a series of
interviews. By the time the candidates
arrive, we will have several opportunities
to discuss the challenges facing the
college during the coming decade. These
dialogues will educate the community as
to the kind of person who will best fill
the unique role of Evergreens Provost.
The Provost Search Committee
welcomes input from the Evergreen
community on preparing the ground for
the new Provosts success. We urge you
to let us know your ideas by writing or
calling the search committee chair,
Stephanie Coontz, at x6703, SEM 3127.
Coontz will report all contacts to the
committee as a whole.

My lunch with cult figureBarneY,lnc.
Barney. Many questions have been raised
about his origins. How did he manage to
escape the unknown cataclysm that caus¢
the extinction of his peers? Who did kill all
of the other dinosaurs? How did he manage
to gain the ability of speech? How does he'
manage to look so young for someone over
63 million years old? Was plastic surgery
involved?
I look deep into Barney's eyes and
suddenly realize thal he is naked. Here I am
sitling in the middle of an elegant, snobbish
restaurant with a very famous, very naked
dinosaur. One may argue that Barney is an
animal and thus is not required an
appropriate wardrobe. This would certainly
be the case with a dog or a cat. These are
domesticated animals, but Barney is more
than a pet. To millions of children all over
the world, he is a friend, a mentor, an
adviser, a hero and a star. It's not like the
multi-billionaire can't afford to buy some
clothes. Shouldhe really be dancing around
on PBS in front of many impressionable
children without any pants on? This is one
of the many questions I forget to ask him
during our 90-minute session.
CPJ: First questions first -who is really
behind that purple styrofoam suit?
B: David Koresh.
Scot P. Livingston
I arrive at The Gilded Lion a few
minutes late. I was scheduled to meet Barney
at the new-wave L.A. eatery at6:30. Due to
some rather bad traffic, I didn't arrive until
almost 8. Fearing the worst, I begin
apologizing profusely the second that I see
his huge purple frame. Barney, who seems
to be completely unaware of my tardiness,
simply waves me down toa seatnextto him.
I immediatelynoticehow polite he is, always
remembering to say "please" and "thank
you." But I wonder ifthat is the real Barney
or whether there is a snarling dinosaur
underneath the gentle beast.
On the surface he seems to be the
ultimate celebrity. He's cuter than the
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and more
accessible than the Smurfs. Often, reminding
many critics of a young "Hello KiltY." Yet
the past year has been a tough one for
CPJ: Koresh?!? The leader of the Branch
Davidian Cult?
B: Yep.
«PJ: I thaught he died irphat Waco fire.
B: i am God. I am immortal. I cannot die.
CPJ: IthougFu you said you we~e Jesus
Christ.
B: I was suffering from a slight inferiority
complex back then. I worked itout with my
therapist. I'm much better now, thank you.
CPJ: Why did you order your followers to
torch the compound?
B: We we're having a terrible year for P.R.
The press - the media - they crucified
me! We gained a mere 173 new converts
during the month that the government had
our headquarters under siege, an almost 33
percent drop in our previous rate. We
needed a new image fast So I carne up with
this great idea. A large, huggable dinosaur
to endear himself to an entirely new
generation of children.
CPJ: Which brings up another good point.
I personally hate - thoroughly despise
your ]V shaw. Barney and Friends. Yet
somehaw I feel compelled-almostforced
- to watch it every day. Do you use any
form of brain washing on your show?
B: Yes, we use subliminal messages,
subliminal images, hypnotic suggestion,
hypnosis, mind control, hidden phaIlic
symbols ... whatever it takes to spread the
word of Barney.
CPJ: O.K .. ;That' /l do. Do you have a last
name. Barney?
B: No.
CPJ: Now about the whale Jurassic Park
thing - it was rwnored that you were
offered a lot of money to star in it, but you
turned it down. Is that true?
B: Yes. I felt that the script needed another
rewrite. I still do. But mostly I was unhappy
with their choice of director.
CPJ: Steven Spei/berg?
B: Yeah. The guy's a big jerk. Gotanego
the size of Disneyland. Woody Allen ...
David Lynch ... John Waters ... anyone of
them could've done a better job, but the
studios just wouldn't listen to me.
CPJ: The money it made has not influenced
your opinion of this, has it?
B: No. TheAmericanconsumer,ingeneral,
is an idiot. They'll buy anything.
CPJ: Thanks againfor your time, Barney.

many of you won't vote this year.
That's really too bad, because there
arc some issues on the ballot that you

and the bond. iss.ues for . Fire District
# 19774645920.
Washington voters are lucky in
Lhat. if enough of them want to put a
good idea on the ballot (say about
180,000 of them), and if a majority
approve of the idea,it becomes state law
without having to go through · the
Legislature and governor. They are
unlucky in that, if enough of. them want
to put a bad idea on the ballot, and a
majority approve, it becomes state law
too.
We are truly unlucky this year in
having some real stinkers on the ballot
called Initiatives 601 and 602. The basic
idea behind them is to limit the growth of
staLe government and make it much more
difficult to raise taxes. 602 also undoes
the budget that the state arrived at last
year, by repealing most of the taxes and
fee increases made last year, including the
increase in tuition Greeners had this last
year.
Now, I know what you're thinking

down to "You get what you pay for." Th3t
tuition increase paid for increased financial
aid, extra enrollment and new teachers too.
Kiss goodbye tb the tuition increase, and
you kiss goodbye to all that
On top of that, if taxes become
much more difficl,Jlt to raise, and you have
to balance the budget somehow, what do
you suppose the Legislature will end up
doing? That's right. cutting the Evergreen
budget some more, and say goodbye to
more staff, more teachers, more
students... on top of probable cuts in
welfare, maybe less enforcement in child
support, definitely no health care for the
uninsured.
The problem is, Evergreen has
already cut its budget twice in the last two
years. Student/teacher ratios are stealthily
creeping upwards. There are already less
part-time classes ~d less adjunct faculty
to help carry the load. The Evergreen style
of teaching demands more faculty and is
already more expensive than your standard
college's teaching style, since graduate
assistants are always going to be cheaper
than PhDs.

Sara Steffens is the really tired

E
very year, a lot of people make a
huge mistake on their taxes. They
don't take advantage of tax deferral and
wind up sending Uncle Sam money they
could be saving for retirement.
Fortunately, that's a mist.ake you can
easily avoid with TIAA-CREF SRAs.
SRAs not only ease your current taxbite, they offer a remarkably easy way
to build retirement income-especially
for the "extraS" that your regular pension
and Social Security benefits may not
cover. Because your contributions are
made in before-tax dollars, you pay less
taxes now. And since a1) earnings on
your SRA are tax-deferred as well, the
money you don't send to Washington
works ev(!n harder for you . Down the
road, that can make a dramatic difference
in your quality of life.
What else makes SRAs so special?
A range of allocation choices-from the
guaranteed security of TIAA to the
diversified investment accounts of
CREF's variable annu ity-all backed
by the nation's number one retirement
system.

One of the delightful highlights of
the Cooper Poin.t Journal is our weekly
Thi..(d Floor column. The "Third Floor," as
iL'S fondly known around the office, is a
perennial favorite specially designed to
publicize and promote the events of S&Afunded or volunteer student groups.
Which brings us to the task at hand
- getting your event listed in the Third
Floor column. Pay careful attention; we've
made a few changes.
1) Submit written notice of the event
to the box marked Third Floor in the CPJ
office by Friday noon. You don't need to
submit on disk, but write neatly. Include:
-Student group name and extension
number
-Date, time and location of the event
-Cost, if any
-Title or description of event
That's all, folks! Just one simple step to
fame. That's so cool.
Please list only special events in the
Third Floor column. If everyone tries to
list every meeting time each week, bad
things will happen: students will quit
reading the column, and we'll run out of
space for other events.
We're also looking for a dedicated,
creative person to compile this column
each week. You could be a star! The
column takes less than an hour to write.
you'll get to mingle with the best and
brightest on the campus (student activists
. lind coordinators), and you get a sassy

campus network up, getting attached to
Internet and we have to technologize our
library ," said Jervis. "lL's been difficult for
us because it's expensive, and there's not a
lot of money laying around."
Jervis said that" A lot will hang on
the results of [601 and 602]."
President Jervis said that if these
two tax roll back initiatives pass, it would
make the college's goals much more
difficult to realize, "but Bhink we have to
work towards them any how," she said.
The Convocation started at 3 p.m.
yesterday and lasted a liule over an hour.
The Keynote speaker was Dr. Gayle
Pemberton, an Associate Director of AfroAmerican studies at Princeton University.
Andy Lyons is a CPJ news writer,
proofreader, layout dude and lackey, as
well as being Arts & Entertainment

I was once a regular at the Deli but the

Are Evergreen students getting a raw deal

Option 9 allows for: I) salvaging, a
process of removing dead trees vital to the
forests' regeneration, 2) thinning the forest,
3) road building for access to the trees, 4)

ten years . This constitutes intrusion into an
inviolable ecosystem of which so little still

No one can afford have the ancient

Everybody talks about diversity and
multiculturali sm here at Evergreen, but we
often overlook one category of "difference"
among us. It's the largest single group of
students here . You might even be one
yourself, and not really know it. Or you
might not know that you have anything in
common with the few visible members of the
group. So what is it? Who are these people?
They ,and we,are students with disabilities.
People wi th disabil ities are the largest
single category of students here: there are
over 250 students with a di sability of some
kind. But wai t a minute, you're thinking,
why haven't I seen more folks using
wheelchairs, guide dogs and sign-language
interpreters? The answer is that a lot of
disabilities are not visible, or not obvious.
Most of those 250 are people with learning
disabilities, or with chronic illnesses like
MS, fibromyalgia, past cancer or HIV positi ve
status. All of those are classified as disabilities
under the Americans with Disabilitie.s Act,
and are protected under the law just as much
as people with physical or sensory disabilities.
The Americans with Disabilities Act
(ADA) of 1990 is the most sweeping piece of
civil rights legislation ever passed. It
g uarantees basic access and freedom from
discrimination to everyone with a di sability.
But, like all real gains in freedom, the law is
just the beginning. The real work lies ahead,
in pushing for truly equal access and in
educati ng people about the differences and
strengths of people with disabilities. Access
means a lot more than wheelchair ramps,
closed-captioned videos, and books on tape;
it means changing attitudes and expectations.
In this way, struggling for disability
rights is a lot like battling racism and
homophobia. It's not enough just to get into
the building, though that's always the first
step: getting rid of Jim Crow and those damn
stairs. Once inside, we have to be treated with
dignity and respect. and held to the same
expectations of hard work and integrity as
. anyone else. But most of all , people have to
get used to it , get educated, and get
comfortable with difference in all its forms.
The unique life experiences of people with
disabilities gives rise to a "disabi lity culture"
of resistance, rage and wry humor. We have
each come to our own accommodations and
ways of coping with life's daily hassles;
draw upon this knowledge whenever dealing
, with disability issues. The basic principle of
the ADA and disability acti vism is that people
with disabilities must have self-determination
when it comes to access, accommodations,

Analysis'
Recycling is cool
S&A is sort of governance
by Brian Almquist
The 1993-1994 college .catalog has
a very telling quote about student·
governance at this sChool: "Throughout
Eve rgree n 's history, students have
annually worked to develop a permanent
governance suucture."
There is no elected student
government at Evergreen. In fact, student
elections are few and far between at this
school, and they usually consist of
referendum issues.
One such issue is WashPIRG .
Every two years, TESC students vote to
determine whether donations to
WashPlRG should be automatically billed
to our tuition. WashPIRG has won that
VOle easily the last couple of limes it has
come up .
Even more infrequently, a matter of
terrible importance comes up and the
administration decides that it needs student
input in the form of a vote. The most
recent referendum of this form concerned
the arming of what were then called
Security officers. Such a vote is nonbinding on the school or the state in any
way; even though Evergreen students
resoundingly rejected the idea of armed
Safety officers, the Legislature and the
Board of Trustees have both considered,
and probably will continue to consider,
Ihe possibility of giving guns to
Evergreens fmest
More often, the administration will
want to use student support for an idea,
like an Evergreen Fighting Geoduck
basketball team, to justify its continued
development. Questionnaires are
distributed and students are encouraged to
fill them out and return them to wellhidden locations throughout the school.
Students should be wary as these
questionnaires are frequently designed to
skew the answers in favor of the
organization wanting student support.
But that's it. There are no elected
student officers. What do we have then?
We have S&A, or Services and Activities.
S&A is responsible for the $94 quarterly
taken out of the tuition of every full-time
Evergreen student. This money is
allocated by the S&A board, a group of
volunteer students who arc selected in the.
fall by a selection committee. This
comm ittee consists of the S&A board
coordinator, board members from previous
years, a faculty member, ~ staff member
and Tom Mercado, the Director of Student
Activities. At many schools, the
equivalen~ of the S&A board is formed
through a student governance body.
This money is distributed to
several student groups and services such as
the Campus Recreation Center, the"'CPJ,
KAOS, the Daycare and much, much
more. Except on issues of personnel and
the purc~ase of property, S&A board
meetings are open to the public.
Anybody interested in serving on
the S&A board should call x6220 or pick
up an application at the front desk in CAB
320.
This week, we looked at the
student government that is (or isn't). Next
week: the student government that could
be.
Brian Almquist is a coordinator of
Slightly West.
Hey buddy, do you need some change?
hy Paul Marcontell
.
It's said that this is the year of
change: of political change, of economic
change, of societal change; and few would
argue that change is always hard to realize.
But it would seem that in one respect,
change, is unusually hard to get, on this
ca mpus . Specifically change for snack
machines.
How many midnight snack hunters
could testify to the fact that not a single
dollar bill changer seems to work on any
of the multitudes of pop machines on
campus? At last check, the only
functioning bill changer was in the
Greenery and is therefore inaccessible at
late hours .
Unless you habitually carry rolls of
quarters around with you, you'll probably
find these "convenient" snack machines
rather less so. If you happen to be one of
those unfortunate souls who end up
working on something really late, usually
around 3 a.m., you'll start wandering
around looking for something to eat or
so me caffeine to ingest before you
spontaneously combust, but instead you'll
end up' sta ring impotently at some
machine for which you don't have the
correct change.
Now I don't mean to imply that
this is a matter of national security, but
about this time in the morning, among
people who are brain-starved for caffeine,
conspiracy rumors tend to get started.
Yeah, it's a government experiment to
delermine whether manic frustration with
inllexible machines causes combustion in
some subjects. Perhaps this is why the
copiers never work.
But the real explanation is less
sensationalistic and less easily ascribed to
the government; it would seem that
vandalism is the reason that none of the
bill changers function. It's pretty unfair
[hat all of us should suffer because a few
people like to abuse machines. Perhaps
the penalty for vandalism should be
revised so those who are caught would
lia ve to stahd around in the hallways with
:t pocketful of quarters and make change
for the rest of us.
Someone might point out that the
presence of an ATM in the CAB could
hardly be less of a risk than a change
machine in the same place - so couldn't
we just move the one in the Greenery up,
so as to be accessible 24 hours a day?
Thun let'S put our mont:y wnere our
mouth is (in hope of being able to buy
something to put into our mouth) and
demand some change.
Paul Marcontell is one of a
plethora of new CPJ contributors. Las/ we

w()nde~, "where to go?"
After all, it's a big world out there.
What follows is a brief review of
just a few places you might want to check
OUI. There arc some bookstores and
g rocery stores, coffee shops and thrift
stores and just some places to hang out.
1\11 of the places listed ire along the bus
/llute (because that's how I got to 'em)
<lnd all of them, with the exception of The
IJu goda Room, cater to aU ages.
City Pawn nrokers
comer of 4th and Franklin
A plethora of random items from
Army surplus fatigues La eight track tapes

Crtlati"ity is in the air
by Arrmgton de Dlonyso
Olympia offers a great deal of
iIlleresting places to visit and things to
do, but what if you don't have a car or
you aren't intelligent enough to read a bus
schedule? Have no fear, because you can
go for months happily without ever
leaving the Evergreen campus.
Away from Mom's delicious home
cooking, your firs~ concern should be
gelting enough nutrients . to provide your
body the essential vitamins, minerals, and
,Imino acids thal make your core program
seminar so energetic. By now you've
figured out the difference between the Deli
and the Corner. Both are fine if you feel
like spending money from your hard
ea rned PeB Grant, but you can also
survive reasonably well eating wild foods.
We are fortunate to live in this
great Pacific Northwest climate where
nine months of rain does not go to waste.
The rain enables hundreds of various plant
and mushroom species to thrive, giving
food to animal and human alike, A short
list of my favorite campus edibles would
include: wild strawberries, salad,
chIckweed, mmer's lettuce, and various
berries and mushrooms. Oyster
mushrooms grow plentifully on dead birch
lrees, cooked with onions and olive oil
they taste like steak and provide an
excellent source of protein. I won't tell
you where they grow, but if you truly
look for them, I swear to you they're out
there.
You never need to shop for
clothing, just check out the Free Box and
CAB sales. In fact you really don't mied to ..
shqp for anything, if you can't find it at a
CAB sale, put up a sign or call KAOS
and put out a community billboard
announcement that they will read on the
air for free . If you stiLI can't get what you
were looking for you probably didn't need
it to begin with.
The other main reason why people
leave campus it to search for
entertainment and adventure. Of course
this is silly and unnecessary, if you are

Where You Been?
Warner Bros.
Sure, J. Mascis is a self-indulgent, whiny little fuck, butat least he's not Morrisey. Track
four is pretty weak, as 1. is momentarily possessed by the vocal chords of Maurice Gibb. But
besides that, Where You Been? is pretty strong. Mascis' guitar work is, as usual, superb and

Saturation
Geffen Records
Produced by the Butcher Boys
You've heard the hype and it's right on the money. These guys rock harder than Thin Lizzy
and churn out ballads that will melt the helut of even the most bitter old pill. Saturation was
produced by guys who made their name recording vapid rap acts like Schooly-D, but their
poppy sensibilities seem to lend The Urge a level of accessibility lacking in their last two
outings. Buy it and learn why this kind of retro-seventies music is where it's at. -Seth

Buffy Sainte-Marie to grace Evergr,een ,audienc:e
by Tiokasin. Veaux
Buffy Sainte-Marie (CREE) returns
to the recording world after a IS-year break
spanning a remarkable career of
III i lcstones and influences, and a lifetime
dedicated to camjYaigning for human rights
and social awareness around the world.
Buffy, a songwriting genius, is an
honors graduate in Oriental philosophy
and education, fluent" in French, a
published author, a gourmet cook, artist
and illustrator, a poet and designer of her
own clothing and costumes, and she has a
PhD in Fine Arts.
A mixed-blood Cree Native, she
was adopted and raised in the state of
Maine in a community with little
awareness of Native history or culture.
Buffy spent most of her time alone,
enjoying the solitude of the New England
forest and the company of dogs, rabbits
and goats on her uncle's farm, and playing
the piano. At the age of 16, she SWitched
to guitar because it was easier to
transport, yet she followed her own selfLaught route and developed unique tunings,
tailored to her needs which has a seminal
effect to the generations of followers.
After graduating from the
University of Massachusetts in Amherst,
Buffy had a chance to go to India and
study philosophy, music and dance at a
school founded by Ghandi, or she could
have taken up teaching on some "Indian"
reservation. Instead she went to New York
knowing no-one, she slept at the YWCA
amI sang for $5 dollars at nightclUbs, such
as Gerde's, the Bitter End and Gaslight.
It' s ironic, really, "Going to school in
India to study religion as expressed
through art is something I know I would
have loved," she reflects.
Following in the wake of Joan
Baez and Bob Dylan, but far from hippy
sandals and folksongs, Buffy says, "There
were a lot of real folk singers around, like
Pete Seeger, singing genuine folk songs. I
was a songwriter who had written her
songs yesterday; but what an incredible
example to hear songs that had already
lasted for 500 years, dealing with
universal themes that could span language
barriers and generations."
Still she was never apart from the
colony of beats and singer songwriters
that would hang out in the Village - but
she was certainly aware of the
phenomenon taking place, even -.yhen
Dylan told her to sing at the Gaslight.
Major magazine coverage follo~ed, but
still she remained very much an Isolated
figure on the scene. "I don't drink, and I
didn't hang out and schmooze. After a
New York concert, I'd take off for some
reservation; after a concert in Sydney,
Australia, I'd be gone with the
Aborigines. I lost a lot of business
opportunities, but I gained real ennchment
in my life."
It was traveling she continued to
enjoy most, particularly the time she'd
spend on reservations when playing
Calgary, Phoenix or Seattle. These
experiences spawned her most ironic and
outraged songs: "Now That The Buffalo's
Gone," "My Country 'Tis Of Thy People
,
.... .
.
You're Dying" and "BUry MX Hean-At
Wounded Knee." At this time, there had
been no major compliment ever paid to
"Indian" consciousness. Then came the
Native people who founded the American
Indian Movement. just out of jail they'd gotten caught in the justice system
for minor infractions because they hadn't
known a lawyer and wanted to offer
protection to other "Indians." "As for
myself, I was trying to be a bridge
between Native people and Colonized
people since I have mixed races ... I'm
Cree, part some kind of European." "It
was strange, although I didn't belong on
the folk scene, and would never have
picked up the phone on my behalf to
CBS, on the reservations it was the
opposite - I thought nothing of calling a
senator on behalf of "Indian" rights
issues," she says. "On the Tonight Show
(with Johnny Carson) I was told not to
sing anything to do with "Indian" people
or the Vietnam War. Radio broadcasters
surprised me ten years later by
apologizing to me on the air for 'having
suppressed' my music. They told me they
had letters from Lyndon Johnson's White
House commending them for having
suppressed my songs and those of others
(like Ertha Kilt) who "deserved to be
suppressed. "
Buffy soon realized that the era of
free speech was over she took her messa.ge
and music worldwide as a SOCIal
ambassador, where she could talk with,
and about Native people and issues. She
founded the Nihewan Foundation for
Native North American Scholarships and
has distributed sums to Native students to
study law, business, medicine and the arts.
She returned to a country that had its head
buried in the sand (USA) and saw that

despite the fact he was 77. My moth~r
went nuts when he appeared on . stage,
screaming things like, "Alright Frankie!"
and, "Paisano!" (meaning fellow Italian). I
screamed along to. It was either become a
PaIt of my mother's excitement or. get
embarrassed by not joining in. Frank's
singing was impressive for his age. His
introductions to the songs themselves,
could have been discarded because of his
memory lapses at times. Other than that, I
was glad to see him belt it out. He ended
the night by singing,"New York, New
York" which even made me somewhat
senti~ental. It was a song I used to sing
to a friend on the playground when I was

Frank Sinatra and his career. The cntlcs
these days seem to be saying little if
anything about him. It's common to hear
people say that they'd wish he would
retire. I'm sorry but I do not hold that
view, His singing may not be what it
once was but it's still damn good. So few
people h~ve any energy left in their lives
when they're his age. For all of Frank's
courage and style I applaud him. In fact,
Shirley and Frank were one of my high
points of the summer. I can only hope to
be as alive and kicking when I'm in their
shoes.

Friday September, to, 1993 IS a
day that I wi Ii unlikely forgeL. It wa,s

get tickets for the supposed reason of n:y

by the sun by 4:00 and having little cash

sound of an orchestra playing.
With possibilities to rest a while , I
found a good vantage point behind a chain

with a resemblance (0 Shirley MacLaine. I

In ]982 Buffy scored the short
"Indian" film "Harold of Orange," in 1983
"The Great Spirit In The Hole" and in
1990 "Where The Spirit Lives." Her
public career had taken another quantum _
leap in ]980 as her friend, Jack Nietzsche,
who was scoring the move "An Officer
and A Gentlemen" sat down at the piano
and played Buffy's melody to the director
they agreed that this should be the main
theme for the film. "Up Where We
Belong," recorded by Joe Cocker and
Jennifer Warnes, became the most played
sOllg of lhe year and won Buffy, Jack
Nietzsche und lyricist Will Jennings
;\cademy Award Oscars for Best Song
frOin a Motion Picture. Another
reillarkable milestone.
Buffy recently
appeared with friend J ill Frazier in
Belgium drawing 30,000 people - and in
Paris she appeared solo before 90,000
people. using a Roland Midi guitar synth
and a computer on the floor into which
she pre-programmed her backings. Her
new material speaks for itself, but suffice
it to say that Buffy Sainte-Marie has lost
1I0ne of her extraordinary songwriting
talent nor has her unique voice lost any of
its power of ability. to convey emotion.
Her album Coincidences and Likely
StorieS released in 1992 bear witness to
the evolution of Buffy Sainte-Marie - a
Native - a Cree.
