by Molly McCloy
It was my unmitigated hatred of
politics that drove me to board a plane to
Washington D.C. to attend The March On
Washington for Gay, Lesbian, and
Bisexual equal rights and liberation. If I
truly despise politics, why, in Satan's
sphincter, would I want to attend a
political march? Barney Frank, an openly
gay congressman from Massachusetts, put
it best when he said that the goal of a gay
citizen's struggle for human rights is to
"render our issue irrelevant." In other
words, I allended a political event to .
defend rights that should never have been
part of a public controversy in the first
place and to lay the groundwork for a day
when I will be able to enjoy private love
without public discrimination, personal
fulfillment without politics.
I hate crowds even more than
politics, but as I spent Saturday night in
Dupont Circle, the gay section of town,
watching a city being completely overrun
with queers I realized that the March On
Washington was not going to be just
another half-assed "Give Peace a Chance"
ordeal. Throughout the night, crowd after
crowd of queers poured out of the
subways, cheering, yelling, overloading the

platforms, and breaking the escalator with
their weight. This was not a gathering of
obedient liberals following some p.c.
agenda; L1lis was a horde of people
celebrating and revelling in a love that has
been wronged for far too long.
The highlight of the evening was the
traffic-stopping Dyke March that featured
both the legitimizing element of calm
mainstream Lesbians and the right-on
madness of drums, topless women, and
spray paint stencils· that said "Tuna Taco"
and. "Girl Loves Girl." For anyone
watching it was proven that Dykes come
in all sizes and shapes from housewives to

Library Building deemed dysfunctional
by Samuel Loewenberg
The Library Building's heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HV AC) system is outdated and ,often dysfunctional,
according to a report released last week by
the Admini stration. The consultants who
prepared the report compared the 25-yearold HV AC system to a sports car of the
samc age.
"In the same way you would expect
to carefully monitor and inspect, even
pamper, a 25-ycar-old sports car, Ihe same
is truc for this building."
At a public presentation last week,
the consultants, who were hired by TESC
in late January - early February to evaluate the air quality problems of the Library, would not comment whether it is safe
to occupy the building.
Union Shop Stcward Allen Whitehead, who works in the payroll office, said
that, whilc he appreciated the technical
proficiency of the report, he was disappointed it did not prescnt any theories
for why people had such bad reactions to
the air in the Library Building.
"I think I want to ask the same
questions lhal most people want to ask,
and that's 'what was it that made everybod y sick and is it gone?' " said
Whitehead.
"Because the report was so technical,
il didn't even ask the question," he said .
The report "was not designed to address why people were sick, it was trying
to address what happened" and assess how
to fix the problems in the building,
according to Executive Vice President for
Finance and Administration T.L. "Les"
Purce.
Although three consultants were
hired, only two showed up to the presentation. The consultant who could have dealt
with health issues, industrial hygienist Bill
lludd, did not attend the presentation
because he is no longer working for the
same company. The consultants who gave
the presentation were Steven Eirschele, a
mechanical engineer, and Steve Hanson, a
mechanical contractor.
Purce estimated that the three
consultants, along with a doctor hired by
TESC to assess employees' health, cost
approximately $50,000 .
According to the consultants' report,
more than 90 gallons of chemicals were
used during an eight day period in
December. Through a series of mishaps,
the chemicals off-gassed into the
building's ventilation system
Over the next few months, Library
Building occupants reported a variety of
symptoms, including dizziness, headaches,
nausea, and nosebleeds.
The consultants could not specify
how long, or to what degree, people were
exposed to the chemicals.
The inch-thick report said that while
exposure to the chemicals "exacerbated"
the problems in the Library, "the
symptoms building occupants have been
exhibiting cannot be explained by any
chemical concentrations found."
The consultants admitted that the
chemicals could have been flushed from
the building before they tested for it.
Whitehead, who is also on the air
quality advisory and safety committees,
expressed concern that some people may
never be . able to work in the building
again.
Currently, 23 staff members cannot
work in the Library Building because of
their reaction to the air quality.
TESC is trying to . accommodate
these staff members by moving them to

executive types, from hippies to hipsters,
from bikers, skaters, and clean-cut
Christians to jocks with bi-Ievel haircuts.
The main march on Sunday lasted
for six hours and was estimated at 300,000
by the parks deparunent to one million by
local D.C. officials. A fellow Evergreen
student and I quickly found the
Washington contingent which included
sixteen or seventeen other Greeners and a
few members of the Olympia community.

other offices and even other jobs. Puree
said that the administration has not
determined what it will do if people
cannot work in the Library because of
their health problems.
The consultants attributed the
persistent air quality complaints to ~
"cumulative effect" of the buiIdi~'s
HV AC system deteriorating over the last
quarter century.
Highlights of the report included:
-The design and controls of the 2Syear-old HVAC system are outdated
according to the consultants.
-There is poor ventilation in many
places throughout the building, particularly
the print shop, darkroom and TV studio.
·Anything from large markers to
aerosol sprays to photocopiers can produce
fumes that can easily be sucked up the
ventilation system and passed throughout
the building.
-There is no qualified manager of
facilities and the current operating
procedures are not adequate to keep the
building running properly.
•Many of the building's records were
out of date or incomplete.
The consultants also concluded that
TESC may have cut comers on
remodeling jobs to save money.
"We have reason to believe that
some of the funding may have been short
on some of the remodels," said Eirschele,
who wrote the final report.
The consultant's report listed S3
recommendations on how to fix the
building. Recommendations included recommissioning the HVAC system, upgrading system controls, and reviewing
maintenance staff. It provided no time line

Due to user concern and incidents of
vandalism, late-night graffiti and
politically-motivated damage to vending
machines, the CAB Tenants' Group is
investigapng' the feasilibilty of closing the
CAB between midnight and 6 a.m.
The proposal to close the CAB is
still in very early stages of assessment,
and no such closures would· be enacted
before the fall, if then.
If the proposal was enacted, many
students could lose late night access to
CAB amenities such as the coffee
machine, the infamously cantankerous
copy machines, several soda machines, the
campus cash machine, stamp machines,
white courtesy phones, the ride board,
comfortable new couches/sitting areas and
student group cubicles in the S&A office.
The CAB Tenants' Group was
formed to facilitate the needs of the
varying parties which use and depend on
the CAB, including students. Since its
formation, the Tenants' Group has
advocated for various CAB causes, such as
restoring student use of CAB 108 and
CAB 110, tearing down old flyers, and
encouraging the introduction of the
TEMPO-sponsored Nightcap Cafe in the
Greenery. Members of the Tenants'
Group, mostly staff, meet once a month to
chat about CAB issues. Students are
always welcome to join the group. (Call
Tom Mercado at 866-6000 x6220, for
information.)
Students and staff have expressed
concern regarding CAB security, particularly during the early morning hours.
"As a woman who's programmed
the 2 a.m. slot, I would feel less safe if
the CAB doors were locked," said Diana
Arens, student and KAOS Director of
Programming, "because if something were
to happen, there wouldn't be the chanee
that somebody coming to get a Pepsi
would hear it, and I would be stuck."
According to Arens, more than 38
KAOS programmers would require late
night or early morning access to the CAB
building, not including special program
guests, bands and the like. CAB closure
would also pose a problem to
programmers who substitute, often at the
last minute, for one anothers' late night
slots. "Access lists always leave someone
out," said Arens.
Gary Russell, Chief of Public Safety,
said, "To establish building hours here [in
the CAB] and to lock the building doesn't
mean that it wouldn't be pattolled."
According to Russell, even if the CAB
were closed, Public Safety would continue
to perform walk-through security checks
on the building.
Alternative methods of securing the
building may be diminished by impending
budg<it cuts. "In the past, I think when
budgets looked a little better, we had

The Library's plan to recycle·surplus
library books resulted in a new annual
Evergreen event: The Friends of the
Library Fall Book Fair.
The Library Administration
considered recycling books when other
means of ridding the College of surplus
volumes turned up fruitless.
Book recycling has been used before
to conscientiously dispose of state
purchased texts. Greg Wright, Campus
Recycling Coordinator, recalls sawing the
bindings from a collection of Journal of
the ChemiCal Society, dated January 1960.
When Wright was asked to use the very
same band saw .OI1 120 to 150 boxes of
surplus books from the Library, the
accumulation of three to four years, he
sought another option: reusing the books.
Two general types of books
comprise the surplus collection: donated
books and books purchased with state
funds.
The donated surplus books are sold
at The Friends of the Library Book Sale
on Super Saturday. Any extra books from
the Sale are donated to non-profit
organizations and revenues go towards
ncw books for the Library.

CAB access concerns (from cover)
.. . student patrols .... I thought that was a
really good idea," said Russell. Tom
Mercado, co-chair of the CAB Tenants'
Group and Director of Student Activities,
said that the possibility of hiring a CAB
night manager would be dependent on
budget funds. Security cameras are not
being considered at this time.
Russell also expressed concern about
maintaining a study area for students in
the wee hours. Alternative study areas
could include the Library Lobby or first
floor area.
"We want to hear every concern
before we make a decision.... Whenever
possible, I want students to make
decisions," said Mercado.
Mercado hopes CAB users, (staff,
auxiliary service employees, .. faculty an.d
students) can reach some sort of consensus
which will both ensure the safety of buiId-
ing users and maintain access to student
. needs. Mercado stressed that the Tenants'
Group is more concerned with people's
safety than vandalism to the building.
Concerned students can contact the
CAB Tenants' Group by sending a letter
care of Mercado or Dennis Snyder, or to
any of the CAB tenants themselves
(KAOS, Northwest Food Service, the
Bookstore. the CPJ, S&A, etc.).
A public forum will be held in May
to allow students to hear the proposal and
raise concerns regarding the surrounding
issues. The CAB Tenants' Group has
asked Public Safety to monitor building
activities and incidents of graffiti/malicious
mischief in the ensuing weeks.

disappointed when she found out there is
no set method of dealing with rape on
campus.
The Rape Response Protocol Group
(RRPG), a recognized group of students
and staff for the past two years, is
addressing the problem of exactly what to
do when someone is sexually assaulted on
campus.
Linda Hohman, who works in
Housing and is one of the founders of
RRPG, recognized through her work that
there were some pieces missing in the way
the campus responds to rape.
"People didn't know who to call,"
sa id Hohman.
Instead of brainstorming who to call
and what to do every time a rape happens
on campus the RRPG is writing a set
proccdurc.
Housing, Public Safety, and the
Coun·seling Center all have methods of
responding to rape including training for
staff. Now everyone has a different
protocol and, "they conflict, creating
unnecessary stress for the survivor of
rape," according to Katie Taft, studcnt and
mcmber of RRPG.
The RRPG also recognized that a
person of color may need a person of
color to be an advocate and, likewise, a

would a rapist choose to come to
Evergreen?" Brown is now a member of
The Rape Response Protocol Group
(RRPG). She got involved after an
acquaintancc rape rally in Jan Ulrry.
"There's a mytll that rape doesn ' t
happen herc because Evergreen is a really
progressive school," said Brown. "There's
an image that people don't want to hurt
each other."
Tcmporary Public Safety Officer,
Bob McBride, feels the same way. He
used to be an Olympia police officer and
says that the people at Evergrcen are
"substantially different" and that the men
here are "really sensitivc."
But Shary Smith, mental health
counselor at Evergreen Counseling Center
for 13 years . says, "There's a lot more
sexual assault on this campus then gets
rcported to the Counseling Center or any
pl ace."
Head of Public Safety, Gary Russcll
agrees.
"This is not a safe haven. Wc 've had
quite a few [rapes] and that's the tip of the

implement a Rape Response Team: a
trained group of people who faculty, staff
and student groups could call for advice,
or the Team could find a trained advocate

The fmal written protocol will be

More gardens on campus
Analysis
by Seth William and David Unruh
This is the second half of the
Evergreen Sustainability Coalition's report
on the questionnaire survey regarding
TESC. See last week's CPJ for the first
part.
• Would you like to see more garden
space available to Ihe students closer to
Student !lousing? (If yes, which Housing
area ?)
Here, respondants overwhelmingly
called for more gardens on campus. Many
specified su<.;h areas as the Mods, alphabet
city, or "everywhere." Others suggested
having gardens near the Daycare or in the
little-used portions of the playing field.
From the creativity and conviction of these
answers, it seems that students would
apply their energy towards more gardens
on campus. One question worth addressing
is, "Who would maintain these gardens
during the summer?" Besides students who
stay in the area, perhaps residcnts of
Cooper's Glen would care for the plots.
No matter the details, if SO many people
want gardens, why aren't we doing it?
° What is your perception of the
student groups on campus and their
QUAKER MEETING
communication with each other and lhe
student body in general?
Many people think: there is a lack of
communication on campus between
student groups, between these groups and
the community, and among students
themselves. Many felt that the student
body is apathetic towards constructive
work on and around campus. A fair
number pointed to a lack of alliance and
cooperation between groups, which were
frequently described as "elitist" or
"fractionalized." Some responses stated
that thcre is a lot of valuable, trustbuilding work done by these groups, but
even more said that students need more
awareness of and exposure to these
groups. Nevertheless, a majority of those
surveyed said that communication was
poor or lacking. Many had positive
suggestions that could build unity and
cooperation between students ~md their
groups . One such 'example is to have a
large event involving as many students as
possible. When people accomplish
something together, trust and confidence
develops. Another idea is to start a
computer bulletin board for campus
access. Finally, someone proposed we

fact that Evergreen is not a safe haven
within their community either.
"It's easy to idealize that community
and to think because we're fighting for
each others' rights to be safe outside the
community, that we would be safe inside
the community," said Erin Shackleford
co-coordinator of the LGBPRC. "You
can't be totally lrustfu] even in that
space."

Lesbian Gay FilIn Fest celebrating' sixth y~ear
by Sara Steffens
The Sixth Annual Northwest
International Lesbian Gay Film Festival
(NILGFF) begins April 30 and runs
through May 2. NILGFF is the only
festival of its kind in the Northwest United
States, and is one of just a few - if not the
only - lesbian gay film festivals in the
nation held on a college campus. Last
year's festival attracted over 4,500 people.
The Film Festival was created to
celebrate, via film and video, the diversity
and richness of lesbian and gay culture.
Organizers selected films which promote
understanding - instead of just tolerance by depicting the real lives of lesbian , and
gay people and the issues which , affect
them.
More than 60 films and videos will
be screened this weekend, including a few
film s created by TESC students and
alumni. Films show at the Capitol Theater
on Friday and at TESC on Saturday and
Sunday.
This year's keynote speaker is
Pratibha Parmar, a London-based East
Indian filmmaker who has won many
international awards for her work.
Parmar's presentation. titled "Framing
Identities," will include clips of her work.

On April 14, 1993, Sam Tambane,
the Secretary of the African National
Congress's Soweto subregional branch,
Olympic Chidi of Soweto, and two other
people whose names are not known to
Amnesty International, were killed by
members of the South African Police.
Over 200 marchers were injured and at
least two of them died from their injuries.
They gathered outside the Protea Police
Station in Soweto to mourn the death of
Chris Hani, the South Africari Communist
Party Leader and ANC member. He was
assassinated four days before by a white
South African.
According to eye-witnesses,
thousands of ANC supporters gathered
outside the police station to present a
petition. A bulk of the marchers peacefully
demonstrated outside the barbed wire
perimeter fenee while a small delegation
went inside to talk to the police. The
police, however, displayed their weapons
and then drove an armored vehicle into the
middle of the crowd. They ordered the
crowd to disperse, then, without warning,
fired live ammunition and tear gas into the
mass of demonstrators. Sam Tambane was
hit in the back of the neck and later died
from his injuries.

Well, kids, today our topic is being
queer in the late-twentieth century. Our
participating audience will be straight
people not familiar, comfortable, aware, or
perhaps willing to learn of the manifold
glories of our beloved queerish existence.
First of all, let's deal with this word
"queer." Queer is not an innately + or word. Queer is a powerful word. Its connotations depend on whether it is being
wielded as a weapon to break our pride
nnd degrade us, or in celebration for the
strength of spirit that speaks of the way
we lcad our lives and interact with others.
Some of us will not allow this term, or
any other, to convince us that our sexualities are the achilles's heel that will
ultimately bring us down despite the rest
of our person. I do not accept that my
ability and capacity to love is any
weakness, any flaw.
There is a brittle, dusty, negative
application of the term "queer." Marbled
with homophobia (irrational fear of people
with the gift of participating in same sex
love and/or sex relationships) it stubbornly clings to that comfortless room
without windows where fear and other
beasties sit. Fear is empty and casts
projections of discomfort and the
sensations of false perversion.
We queers have "reclaimed" (spelled
you-can't-make-me-hate-what-i-am) this
term. Not all lesbian, bisexual, gay, and
transgender people identify with it,
although we queers have a tendencies to
identify with them (go figure). It's a
personal choice based upon individual
experience.

On the other side of the Atlantic,
Renildo Jose Dos Santos was violently
abducted from his home in Coqueiro Seco,
AJagoas, Brazil by plain-clothes police
officers. The next day his head was found
apparently bearing the marks of torture.
Dos Santos, who was a local
municipal councilor, had been receiving
death threats since 1989 because of his
publicly acknowledged homosexuality and
his political differences with the mayor.
In November 1991, he was shot and
wounded because he was a homosexual.
The local police did not conduct a proper
investigation into that attempt against his
life.
Earlier this year, in January he was
investigated by a parliamentary
commission into his acts "incompatible
with Parliamentary decorum." A few days
before he was murdered, he publicly
denounced the continuing death threats and
the discrimination against him due to his
homosexuality.
Please write to the State Governor of
Alagoas and demand a complete,
impartial, investigation into the abduction,
torture and murder of Dos Santos and that
the culprits be brought to justice. Express
concern that his killing was a violation of
his fundamental right to his sexual
orientation.

Friday, April 23:
When we arrived at the Public
Safety office, the radio was already alive
with activity: an insecure condition was
found in the Communications Building and
a car was being pulled out of the mud.
As we waited in the office, the voice
of our intended guide (Officer Tammi
Stretch) came over the intercom. Steve
Albert, manning the radio at the station
end, warned Stretch of our presence.
Within a short while she drove up in the
black Ford Crown Victoria LTD and we
joined her tour of duty.
First let me give you a bit of background on our guide. Stretch received her
security training in the Air FOfce, where
she is still currently on reserve duty, and
served during Desert Storm. She has been
working for the College's Public Safety
Department since September of 1991.
Friday wasn't the most active of
nights. It was raining which, according to
Stretch, usually keeps things inside and
out of sight. The biggest focus secmed to
be the CAB, which is fast becoming the
preferred target of vandals, and the Library
Building, where TEMPO was holding a
concert with the bands Treepeople, Lynch,
The Suffocated, Liquid Zoo and Bumpin'
Uglies.
"We have things that we prioritize,"
said Stretch. "Locks are a definitc priority
after dark."
Another priority is the parking lots:
looking for broken glass, signs of a break
in, hooligans in the process of breaking in,
or people needing assistance (unlocks
jump starts, escorts etc ... ).
'Td say 95 percent of what we do is
public service," said Stretch.
But they are also here to enforce
laws. Once Stretch told a weary traveler
he couldn't camp in the Communications
Building. The man replied to her, "You
know, I'm really disappointed. They told
me up in Seattle that you guys didn't have
rules down here at Evergreen."

Well. while I'm sitting here waiting
(and waiting and waiting and ... ) for the
deluge of responses to my article two
weeks ago (see April 15 CPl), I think I'll
take this opportunity. to shed some light
and explain some of what the Cooper
Point JOl,4rnal is.
The CPJ started out on Nov. 3,1971
under the moniker The Paper - which was
a good self description, since it was
nothing more then a mimeographed piece
of paper.
It soon turned into, more or less,
your standard run-of-the-mill college
newspaper.
Then, in '74, The Paper was renamed The Cooper Point Journal. The
reason ~ive~ for this was that, although it
was pnmanly a college newspaper, the
name s~ould reflect the surrounding
commumty.
The style, philosophy, policies and
format of the CPJ have had so many
changes over the years, that it's hard to
count.
Currently, the CPJ is formatted in
lIlA by 18 inch tabloid page size. We use,
almost exclusively, a four column (two
and-a-half inch per) layout scheme.
Our body type is IO point Times
Roman, our headline fonts are New Century Schoolbook (for news, columns, and
Op-Ed) and standard Helvetica (for Arts
and Entertainment), and photo captions in
10 point Helvetica (photo credit is in nine
point).
Our text columns are produced on
IBM-clones computers via a WordPerfect
macro. Other things, such as headlines,
and captions, etc., are produced on
Macintosh, using PageMaker.
The material is then pasted up.
(There is, as we speak, plans in the works
to go completely desktop - s~y tuned.)
Our current polIcy IS to be a
community-based newspaper. This means
that the majority of material that we
publish comes from you, the Evergreen
and surrounding community.
Other material - mostly news - is
covered and written by staff members. A
staff member is someone who works with
us with some degree of frequency and
closeness.
Some interesting facts about the
CPJ:
-The CPJ is the only student newspaper in the nation that has a full page
featuring comics from members of the
community.
.The CPJ is one of a few student
newspapers in the nation that dedicated
any space to poetry and art.
.The CPJ does not rely on sync1icated material. . . all material published is
Don't cut recycling program
by Colby Seaman
Just because Earth Week is over
does not mean that we can push aside
pressing environmental concerns,
specifically those pertaining to recycling
here on campus. Once again we must
confront budget cuts, which are on the
agenda, and campus recycling has been
proposed as one of the programs that may
suffer as a result At a time when enforced
recycling is becoming vital to a sustainable
environment and a healthy consciousness
we are at risk of losing it.
Considering that, in ftve years, half
of all landfills in the United States will be
closed down, and in twenty years that
number increases to eight percent, we as
citizens are responsible for finding
solutions to this; a central one is recycling.
There are other services on campus, which
seem less crucial than that of recycling, or
that can possibly be re-organized in ways
that require less funding.
. Additionally, like many programs
here at Evergreen, campus recycling has
inefficient elements in its system and can
possibly bc more focused on minimizing
its own wastefulness and maximizing its

about a kid bashing in ear windows with a

As it turned out the band security
(sometimes called "Event Staff') was

"We thought that this was lhe bands'
room and it was okay to do anything back
here," said one member of the Event Staff

As a side note, the turnout for
TEMPO's show wasn't bad. However,
another show, featuring Bloated, Crocodile

to gamer a substantial crowd out at Zero

noise complaints, speculated about 50 or
60 cars were out front. As we went by on
our way to the Pump Station, that seemed
to be an accurate estimate. Three police

drove by later everyone was gone.

capacity for resourcefulness. There are
methods of preserving, or even improving,
campus recycling in spite of a decreased
am!;>unt of money. Human resources are
much more valuable than financial ones.
The proposal of possible cuts in our
recycling system is occurring at a time of
overall (not just at TESC) increasing need
for it. Consciousness toward environmental
preservation and the programs behind it,
are a tradition at Evergreen and WashPIRG; it would be detrimental to both our
campus community values and the earth if
a substantial portion of their support were
to be eliminated. We need imprOVed
methods of resourcefulness and cannot
afford to decrease financial and/or political
support of mandatory campus recycling.
Sign the "Don't Dump Recycling"
petition. Due to proposed budget cuts of
Campus Recycling, WashPIRG will be
circulationg a petition beginning this
Thursday, April 29. It is critical to sign
the petition to show student support for a
coordinated campus recycling effort.

In a ground-breaking decision granting public access to state university trials,
the Georgia ' Supreme Court ruled last
month that secrecy surrounding a universitycourt charged with evaluatin~ campus crime violates the sunshine laws of
Georgia.
Students everywhere may benefit, as
this decision can be used to open traditionally secret disciplinary procedures so
everyone can judge for themselves just
how fairly justice is dispensed on their
campus.
Specifically, the Georgia high court
ruled that the organization court of the
student judiciary at the University of
Georgia, a student-run tribunal charged
with evaluating the conduct of fraternities
and sororities, is a body dispensing justice
that has the authority to make decisions on
behalf of the state. The court specifically
rejected the state's contention that the socalled "Buckley Amendment" prohibits
access. All the justices of the Supreme
Court concurred in the judgement. As the
opinion poignantly noted: "We are mindful
that openness in sensitive proceedings is
sometimes unpleasant, difficult, and
occasionally harmful. Nevertheless, the
policy of the state is that the public's
business must be open, not only to protect
against potential abuse, but to maintain the
public's confidence.in its officials."
At issue was whether The Red &
Black, an independent student-run newspaper covering the University of Georgia
community in Athens, could attend
proceedings of the organization court and
review documents generated by it After
reporters from The Red & Black were rebuffed in their attempts to gain access to
two hazing cases before the Organization
Court, The Red & Black filed a lawsuit in
the Superior Court in Fulton County,
Atlanta. The suit claimed the Universities'
court systems are empowered by the state
to make decisions affecting the public
interest. Claims were brought not only
under the state's sunshine laws, or Georgia's Open Meetings and Open Records
Acts, but under the First Amendment to
the United States Constitution. After a
trial, the state court judge in Atlanta ruled
that, while the Open Records Act applies
to the records generated by the Organization Court, the public and media could
not attend its proceedings.

RESULTS talk hunger
by Ian Perry
Just in the past few months, hunger
issues have been receiving an increasing
amount of attention at the national level.
In response, RESULTS is hosting a
World Poverty Legislation Update ·on
Monday, May 3, at 7 p.m. at the Good
Shepherd Lutheran Church (1601 North
SE, Olympia).
This month, Congressperson Tony
Hall went on a water-only fast to protest
the termination of the House Select
Committee on Hunger. Hall's ·fast is also
drawing attention to the issue of hunger in
general, which will help in the fight to
fully fund the World Summit for Children
Implementation Act. The Act promises to
end the worst aspects of hunger within a
decade for just $25 billion a year.
Currently, the Clinton administration
is in the midst of re-evaluating the role of
the U.S. Agency for International
Development (U.S. AID) as a part of the
United States' use of foreign assistance.
RESULTS was successful in making
poverty lending programs a part of U.S.
AID's activities in EI Salvador under the
Bush administration, and now we are
working to make poverty lending a
standard component of U.S. AID.
At the meeting action will be taken
on one or more of these issues.
RESULTS is effective because 100
groups nationwide echo the same message
in their community, and to their
representatives.

Summer class addresses masculine identity
by Terry A. Setter
I am writing this article in response
to a growing interest in "men's issues"
which I feel among the students at
Evergreen College and to solicit input
toward the design of a program which is
intendcd to address this interest The
issues are in the area of masculine identity
and they involve everything from male
privilege and backlash against it, to
contemporary sexual practices, socictal
programming, and related value systems.
The students who have discussed this with
me are predominantly males, but I have
also heard a number of female students
express related concerns. As a result, I am
offering a summer program titled
"Masculine Identity in the 90s" which is
intended to provide a forum for
researching and discussing current thinking
related to gender-based issues with a focus
on male perspectives and concerns. The
program is open to both male and female
students and will include a survey of
current literature which focuses on this
topic.
As stated above, I am soliciting
input from the readers regarding the exact
content and structure of the program. I am
asking that anyone with thoughts on the
subject contact me at the address or phone
number below. I would appreciate to male students in tears in my office
suggestions on books, records, films, asking "where did I go wrong?" It seems
videos, possible field trips, etc., or that Evergreen is the kind of college

a program which is trying to provide a ?pen investigation. I invite anyone

program to contact me for further details.

Money changes KAOS
by Loren D. Rupp
So KAOS is on a quest to become
entirely listener-supported, and is asking
S&A to fund the transition. But S&A says
not with student money. Amidst all the
rumblings about the KAOS budget, the
real direction of KAOS' future has not
been brought into question. Should we
really accept the basic premise of KAOS
being a "community" station and go
waltzing off into the ~aiJlstream?
Make no rriistake, KAOS is
changing. The station is installing a
satellite dish, that while providing feeds of
nationally-produced shows, will also
reduce access of local programming.
Volunteer programmers may have to
shorten their shows to accommodate. In its
goal of becoming free of Evergreen
funding , KAOS will have to make format
changes to appeal to a wider audience. In
an effort to lure in the "NPR crowd", we
are already seeing less truly alternative
student-originated programming. At the
bottom of this is the almighty dollar, and
the growing list of professional, nonstudent staff who are slowly gaining
control of KAOS and its future. In the
interest of job security, they are ensuring
the stations drift into the mainstream and
its subsequent fundraising base. Currently,
over three-fourths of KAOS' budget goes
to professional salaries.
The situation at KCMU in Seattle
provides a disturbing example of what can
happen when control of a college mdio
station is seized by business-oriented
management professional~ ~ While the
changes at KAOS aren 'l nearly as sudden
or as insidious, the effect will everitually
be the same - a stale, pre-programmed
commercial format designed to bring in
money. This is in conflict with the S&A
mission for KAOS to "recognize and
promote diversity of expression at
Evergreen." Why should S&A support the
KAOS bureaucracy? KAOS would be
more vibrant, creative and serving if it
returned the control of format back to
student and volunteer programmers who
would broadcast what the community
needs to hear, not what they want to hear.

Alcoholism kills slowly
by Sarah Light
Alcoholism is destroying my friend.
My friend has been drinking for 16 long
years. Trying to self-medicate, dying
swallow by swallow. Because I love this
person, because I love myself, I am ending
our relationship. As a woman in recovery,
I cannot participate in this dance of death.
The dance of alcoholism is. seduetive and
manipUlative. It hurts so good. And it is
fatal. Alcoholism kills our souls, our
hearts, our minds, our bodies, our families
and communities.
Our mainstream society is alcoholic,
awash in lies, denial, greed, abuse, and
illusion. We are taught "don't talk, don't
trust, don't feel." We are persecuted for
simply being who we are. Those of us
who are perceived as the "other" are
especially at risk. And the hatemongers
love it when we pick up the bottle. They
encourage our addictions. Alcohol is used
as a tool of genocide, and has been for
centuries.
When I last kissed my friend, I
could taste the alcohol from my friend's
lips for hours afterwards. And the addict
in me wanted more. I have lots of
reasons/excuses to practice my addictions.
We would make a nice tidy triangle - me,
my friend , and the bottle.
But I am not going to let the
hatemongers win. They can not have any
part of me, not one inch. I am trusting my
own healthy self. I am trusting my friends
who are committed to recovery. I practice
life, not death.
Alcoholics don't have relationships,
they have hostages. A game I refuse to
play.
I applaud all of us who are in
recovery . We have lost so many people to
alcoholism. I pray that my friend will walk
the recovery road, and I, right now, let my
friend go.
I am writing about alcoholism
because it is laboo. We aren't supposed to
see it, much less talk about it. We are
never, ever supposed to tell. Meanwhile
people die and die and die.
There is abundant support for
recovery. AA, AIAnon, and other groups
hold free meetings all over the place.
Counseling is available here on campus.
There is a wealth of support, education,
and healing available right here in
Olympia. It can be done. Go for it
Sarah Light, a community member
and TESC student, walks the recovery
road one day at a time.
Let's keep Jerry alive
by Seth Frankel
The end is near. Both for myself at
this college and for the final Gmteful
Dead concert. No, don't worry. The band
isn't breaking up. Don't fret. Jerry isn't at
the Betty Ford Clinic or anything so
tabloidable. Then what is my concern?
Jerry is an old man. His time is
coming soon. Not one "Deadhead" can
deny it. I can't apologize for saying that
he is not immortal. Let us all hope for just
one thing. Let's pray that June sixth
(graduation day) comes and goes without
seeing the passing of Jerry's life.
Admittedly, this is out of partial
self-interest. For, I cannot bear to see the
mass candlelight vigil on Red Square. I
cannot fathom the total devastation and
closure of The Evergreen State College. If
you thought that the solvent problem in
the Library Building was of serious
concern just imagine this dim projection.
For the first time we will see lines,
Dear wonderful contributors,
Although some of you groovy people ou

who still don' t get it So here's what you have

and I mean long lines, to the Counseling
Center. The demand will be so great that
deli-style pull numbers will be distributed
amongst the masses. The self-help section
of the Library will be wiped out from A to
Z. And let's not forget to mention the
total destruction ofthe CAB when students
are fighting with tooth and nail for the last
pint of Ben and Jerry's Cherry Garcia ice
cream!
Now, I know you're all thinking that
this is a slight exaggeration, but let's not
pretend. Please help. Let us all join
together to prevent the apocalypse. Many
possibilities exist. We could distribute gas
masks to the counseling staff to prepare
for the patchouli overdose. The Boo~tore
needs to start purchasing safety candles by
the gross. (The power outage will pale by
comparison.) Certainly the Computer
Center needs to generate a self-eval
program for the letter writing campaign
that will soon follow. I suggest that we do
all of them. I'm sure that there are many
other preparations that I've missed, so
please help. Let me end with a chant:
Hell no, Jerry can't go!
Hell no, we won't let him go!
I'll wear tye-dye from head to toe!
Hell no, Jerry can't go!

concerned members of the Evergreen

It seems not many folks on campus
arc aware of the existence of the Middle
East Resource Center. This is our fLrst
year as a student organization and we have
been productive in creating a foundation
from which the center can expand. We've
been mostly focused on self education,
reading articles, watching films etc. and
discussing them as well as our own
experiences as people with inlerest in
issues concerning the Middle East and
those of Middle Eastern descent.
We hope to grow in constituency in
the future. sponsor more events (there is
already the possibility of bringing a
Israeli/Palestinian Theater group here in
the fall) and promote the idea for more
Middle East-oriented progmms here at
Evergreen. We also plan to attend at least
one workshop/seminar.
There will be a general interest and
planning meeting Wednesday, May 12, at
2 p.m. in the MERC office in the Student
Activities area, third floor of the CAB .
Please join us; we are interested in
expanding our membership so bring a
friend!
Also, we need a co-coordinator
immediately and a new coordinator for
next year. Much groundwork has been laid
for this Resource Center to continue to be
a viable contributor to the Evergreen
communilY. This is a paid position and
can be done as work study. Plus your
work will be greatly appreciated!

CCooper Pow Jowna/ 1993.
To Lauren Towne and Amanda Ray:
Your responses to Vanessa and Peter
demonstrate a lack of understanding and
an unwillingness to accept criticism.
Rather than respond to their suggestions,
you attacked Vanessa and Peter, pushing
responsibility on them rather than
accepting your own responsibilities as cocoordinators of the Women's Center.
You imply Vanessa is irresponsible
about women's issues because she
"obviously" missed the activities you
sponsored during International Women's
Week. Perhaps it is not a lack of
responsibility, but a lack of interest in the
types of activities you offered. Writers,
artists and dances are fun, but they don't
cover the issues I personally find
important. You mention an "event" and
workshops and panel discussions. What
were these about? I didn't sec any signs
for workshops that addressed my concerns. ,
Most~ of your offerings are about self
expression and affirmation. A political
emphasis, which is what I most want from
the Women ' s Center, is conspicuously
absent.
I looked at the huge display in front
of the center and was disappointed. Again,
it is nice to commemorate female artists,
but I missed the pioneers of the women's
movement and important women scientists.
Most of the women on the board were the
kinds of role models I've always been told
I should have, and I didn ' t see the role
models I've been looking for.
Posted next to the display was the
MEN RAPE WOMEN stider which I've
already discussed in a previous response.
You ask why Vanessa didn ' t come to the
Women's Ccnter to offer her perspectives,
and I wonder if you realize the extent to
which your leLLers and the views posted on
your door ean alienate women . I have
considered coming to the Women's
Center, but I don ' t wish to be associated
with an organization with such an antimale stance. This may not be your intent,
but thaL's what comes across.
While the moon and ocean are
symbols you find empowering, I find them
oppressive. I don't think women are any
more tied to nature and "cycles" than are
men. These symbols arc being forced on
me by the very organization that proposes
to empower me: tile Women's Center.
Perhaps YOll don't see your views as
dogmatic, but to call someone homophobic
because they don't sec the productivity of
"lesbians are cool" seems quite
prescriptive.

To have an S&A board member state that
KAOS is not serving the ' needs of the
student population is an oversight. I
understand that not everyone listens to
KAOS (including several S&A board
members), but I believe the board owes it
to itself to become further educated about
the listening audience of KAOS. The show
that I co-host is geared not only towards
the Native communities in the area, but

Conduct Code
sparks questions Kudos offered in

Hi. I have no grievance, just a curiosity.
I read the CP1 article about the
Student Conduct Code, et aI, in the April
15 issue with some personal interest. See,
I wrote the Code way back when . Actually
- to be ,lccurate - I negotiated il, but let
me tell the whole story ...
The Student Conduct Code was first
wriLLen in late 1986-87, as the article says,
but was not finalized until '88-89. The
first version was wriuen by Shawn
Newmim, then school legal counsel, under
direction from Gail Martin, then VP for
Student Affairs. This version sucked. It
codified all the things wrong with the
Adjudicator system then in effect, with a
few painfully goofy additions - such as
explicitly empowering Campus Security to
demand student IDs.
The Martin-Newman proposal, after
some rewriting, was finally presented to
the Trustees in winter quarter of '87-88 .
Students hated it, they yelled at the
Trustees, and the Trustees asked for a
Grievance and Appeals DTF (the second,
I believe - the first, in '86-87, was mostly
ignored by Newman and Martin, though
I'm sketchy on this). The G&A DTF was
charged with writing a grievance process
accepwble to everyone (yea, right), and
was chaired by yours truly. We wrote a
draft which some folks liked, but which
many others - including the Trustees disliked. Our proposal was rejected by the
Trustees, who asked Martin to write yet
another version.
For the next couple of quarters,
Martin produced various new drafts to be
reviewed by the Trustees and by me, the
last student paying attention to this
process. Finally, in late 1988-89, we
settled on what is now the Student
Conduct Code.
The final draft includes a set of
relatively explicit rules (basic Sluff, like
"don't hurt people"), plus two key
provisions originally proposed by the
G&A DTF:
I. The Grievance Officer. The earlier
Adjudicator had been prosecutor, judge,
jury and executioner against a student
accused of something. Now, the Grievance
Officer is sort of prosecutor, judge and
executioner - but in caSe of a dispute
over, say, whether a student should be
expelled, the final determination is made
by a jury, namely .. .
2. The Hearing Board. The key point
here is that three of the five members of
the board are students (this required some
major convincing of the Trustees), plus
one faculty and one staff.
I followed' the process through the
appointment of the flCst Grievance Officer,
Thomas Ybara, then lost track of it (I had
a life to live). Now, I have a few
questions:
How's it working? Has the
Grievance Officer been able to deal with
things effectively? Has the Hearing Board
been invoked? How do students who've
been through the process feel about it?
Aggrievers? Aggrievees? Hearing Board
members?

Trudell to bring rich experience, new music John Trudell and The Graffiti Man
Band will perform at Evergreen on May
10 with Jim Page and Tim McKuen (both
are activists, singers and songwriters). The
concert begins at 7 p.m. in the CRC Gym.
Tickets are $5 advance or $7 at the
door. Call 866-6000, x6467 for details.
This concert is sponsored by TESC
Native Student Alliance, Sapa Dawn ,
KAOS and Allies of Native Americans.
by Tiokasin Cetanzi Veaux
John Trudell has been identified as
a poet, a defender for Native American
rights, an agitator, and as lots of other
things. His own description best suits him;
he refuses to be pinned down. " Actually I
don ' t consider myself to be any of those
things ... they 're things that I do ... but
they're pans of me. They're not the total,"
said Trudell.
Trudell is the complex of all that
he 's seen, endured and accomplished in
his years, a time in which he's
experienced more than most people might
in several lifetimes. Much of that life
experience is reflected in John Trudell ' s
ex traordinary album AKA GRAFFITI
MAN. The album gathers almost a
decade' s worth of Trudell' s powerful
fusion of poetry and music.
John Trudell, a Dakota or Sioux, did
not set out to'be a poet and never studied
poetry in school. He took that road
primarily through a series of detours; his
poetic and political sensibilities were
forged by the remarkable, sometimes
horrifying circumstances of his life.
Trudell became acquainted with
hardship at an early age. His mother died
when he was six, and he watched his
father struggle to feed and clothe his
family, an experience which left John with
deep contempt for the American "work
ethic." "We were poor," he remembers.
"And he used to drive a truck, hauling
fuel. He'd get up by two in the morning in
the middle of winter to haul jet fuel. To
me, it was like he was being worked like
a slave, just to survive .. . I have to really
appreciate what he gave up, to fulfill what
he considered to be his responsibility, but
I also saw that this was slavery. He had no
life."
Exposure to economic and racial
injustice hastened the development of
Trudell's political consciousness. Looking
back, he says it was a mauer of survival.
"Political consciousness is a pan of the
tool. The most important part is to just
develop consciousness. I think I had to do
that fIrst. But there came a point where
that political part of it, that political
consciousness, became very necessary ...
just to not be alone."
Trudell's heritage sensitized him to
the racism he saw during the Vietnam
War, whether by Americans toward
Asians, or by the U.S military toward its
own minority troops. "The military's
auitude in the countries we went to.. .. It
was like the locals were less than human.
Because the Americans were the
American. I was part of this, in some
ways. In others, it was so blatantly
noticeable that I couldn't be a part of it"
John Trudell is a former National Chairman of the American Indian Movement.

The technology, the terminology and the
generations change, but the behavior
remains the same. If we say we want our
rights, they wage war against us."
In 1979, that war took a terrible
personal toll on John Trudell in the form
of an unspeakable tragedy that ch,anged his
life forever.
On February 1\, 1979, Trudell
burned an American flag during a
demonstration in front of the J. Edgar
Hoover Building, FBI headquarters in
Washington D.C. Trudell explains his
motives in the flag-burning: "In the
military, they said if the flag has been
desecrated, the only way to properly
dispose of it is to bum it. But they define
desecration of the flag as if it drops on the
earth. I say injustice and racism and
class ism and your whole way of life
desecrates whatever you say this thing' s
supposed to mean."
About 12 hours after the flag
incident, in the early morning of Abraham
Lincoln's birthday, a fife "of suspicious
origin" burned down Trudell's house on
the ShoshonelPaiute res..ervation in Nevada,
killing Trudell's wife, Tina, their three
children and Tina's mother. Not
surprisingly, the FBI declined to
investigate, and the blaze was officially
ruled an "accident." Trudell unequivocally
insists, "I don't 'believe' anything about
it... see, 'belief means there's doubt, you
don't know. You speculate. When Tina
and her mother and the kids were killed,
they were assassinated. It was mass
murder. Progress and civilization say
something has changed and it's not like it
was. But riding down the winter camps is
a part of America's history ... anack the

children. Because there are not thousands

"the longest running play in the history of

Christie, The Mousetrap opened in London
in 1952, and has never closed. You can
see it here in Olympia, at the Washington

The Mousetrap is a murder mystery.
(Did Agatha Christie write anything but
murder mysteries?) The killer's motive
seems to be vengeance for child abuse, an
issue even more prominent today than
when the play opened. Christie treats her
delightful Sylvia Shaw. Alan Duyff

helpful retired Army Major Metcalf,

The stage is set- murder, confusion,
suspicion, conflict and doubt, skillfully
woven into a tapestry of pathos and
humor. If you've never seen The
Mousetrap before, you'll never guess what
will happen next If you do know what's
going to happen, you will be amazed at
how consistently every revelation is

The Mousetrap plays at the

Since 1988, Muevete's direct
community outreach has consisted
exclusively of workshops and presentations
for schools and community groups and
private lessons for percussionists. Its
indirect influence has been equally
pervasive as Muevete's members are also
members of Bert Wilson's Rebirth
Obrador, The Olympia Chamber Orchestr~
and Size 3.
This rare public performance and
dance is for the sole purpose of raising
money. Admission will go towards the
purchase of a specially made trio of drums
from Cuba, known as Bata drums, so that
Muevete may deepen our community's
undcrslatJding and appreciation of this rich
and powerful music. Muevete member
Michael Olson said, "What it's all about in
sharing this music is to broaden the
horizons of those around us ... it's also
really great hypnotic dance stuff."
Tickets are only $3 each and are
available at the door only on the night of
the performance. People with jobs arc
encouraged to donate more. Nobody will
be turned a way for lack of funds.
Muevete believes that music is a
universal language and that, by respecting
the musical traditions of other cultures, we
deepen our respect for and further our
understanding of all humanity.

On direct appeal to the Georgia Supreme court concerning the judge's ruling
on access to hearings, The Red & Black
argued that access limited only to the
records of the Organization' Court is insufficient - and unconstitutional. The socalled student "justices" and "advocates"
are responsible for evaluating student and
organization activity and dispensing justice
for alleged wrongs occurring on campus.
The discharge of such a responsibility
must be monitored objectively to ensure
that no misconduct, bias, or conflicts of
interest exist, as well as to engender respect for the integrity of the process. For
any such observation to be valid, it must
include a clear look at the dynamics of the
process itself - the nuances which are not
captured on the written page.
Thus, the decision of the Georgia
Supreme Court in agreeing with The Red
& Black's position is far-reaching in First
Amendment and access law. It will assist
tremendously the news media's attempts to
cover matters of public concern occurring
on a college campus. The Supreme Court's
ruling interprets the Buckley Amendment
narrowly, and thus state universities should
not be allowed to use that federal statute
as a shield to continue any tradition of
secrecy.
Our democracy functions properly
only if it maintains the trust of the people.
Access to governmental decision-making
therefore is critical. Hopefully, the Georgia
Supreme COll}1'S decision will motivate
students everywhere to demand their right
u> watch their campus courts, so they can
decide for themselves if they can trust
them to be fair.

Atlanta law firm of Morris, Manning &

Welcome to the first annual Spring Arts Festival. As a vision the festival was created to unite the
Evergreen Community and to celebrate artistic expression in the widest possible definition. The goal of
this student.initiated project is to highlight artistic expression at Evergreen. We believe that we have
succeeded in creating a celebration of art and community. Our hope is that the festival offers some·
thing for everyone from the Sixth Northwest International Lesbian Gay Film Festival and John
Trudell to the One Act Play Festival and the Senior Thesis Exhibit. We have not been alone in this
endeavor and thank everyone who has made it posSible. Enjoy the Festival!

The Shenandoah Shakespeare
. Express crosses the nation with the goal of
taking Shakespeare off his pedestal and
back onto the theatre stage. Maureen
Connolly McFeely, of Shakespeare Bulletin, summarized SSEs goal as, "de-iconizing
Shakespeare and making his name 'synonymous with vital contemporary
entertainment-entertainmentwhich both
expresses and creates community."
This young companyis ctedicated
to contemporary, fast-paced interpretations of Shakespeare. While the acting
may be interprative, the staging is tradi-

tional; the Express performs their plays
as Shakespeare designed them to be
performed - with minimal sets, universal lighting, and thrust staging to make
the audience a part of the play.
Following the performance
therewill be a 3D-minute question-and
answer-period. Earlier in the day, the
company will conduct a workshop on
acting, at3:30 in Red Square. Theworkshop will focus on ways to explore a
