Students, both new and returning to
the .c ampus next fall, may fmd eithez a
higher tuition or reduced emollment. This
depends on Gov. Mike Lowry's budget
proposal, and whethez it is approved by
legislation .
In preparation for the Governor's
proposal the departments under Student
Affairs are taking a close look at their
perspective budgets for ways to possibly
cut expenditures. On Feb. 17, at 1 p.m.
Student Affairs held a community meeting
for the 1993-94 biennium budget on the
CAB flISt floor to discuss the various
budget proposals. Currently the deparunent
is experimenting with various budget
models to determine where possible cuts
might be made.
Proposed budget cuts of five, ten,
fifteen and twenty percent were presented
by the various deparunent · deans and
directors. Currently, Student Affairs
operates at a $2,031,686 budget.
Depending on what the state wants, the
college may have to trim 100, 200, 300, or
as much as $400,000 from it's budget
Depending on the cuts made, a
number of student services and activities
would be affected Among those
mentioned were First Students
Recruitment, Access Services, child care
programs and Community Recreation
Center (CRC). '
,
One area vital to many students,
Financial Aid,would also be affected.
Currently the college fmancial aid budget
is at $194,277. At a five perceilt cut,
$9,714 would be slashed; at ten percent,
$19,429; at 15 percent, $29,142; and a 20

percent cut would knock off $38,855.
Under the 20 peICent budget cut the work
study program would be eliminated.
Another area affected would be
staffing. According to Bill Zaug, Assistant
to the Vice-President of Student Affairs,
salaries and benefits make up for over
ninety percent of the state dollars that
Student Affairs receives.
"So when we look at changing how
we spend money, it very quicldy becomes
a question of what do we do about
staffing," said Zaug.
In the Vice President/central budgets,
cuts would affect VP office goods and
services and reduce the amount of VP
office travel.
Under each of the four ' budget
models there would be a reduced
enrollment and retention reserve. At the
more extreme end of the cuts, 15 and 20
percent, safety patrol would be eliminated.
At this point no fmal decisions have
been made.
"We have ideas," said Art
Costantino at the meeting, ''We want to
collect as much input as we can on those
ideas but we have made no rmal
decisions. "
Evergreen students are also involved
in this process. A student advisory group
has been working with Bill Zaug 10
become familiar with budget issues
pertaining to the college. The intent is for
them to meet with the deans and direclOrs
before finalization.
"We hope to get there feedback after
they have time to study it," said Zaug.

Charles MiJigUs composed some of the
most inventive and original music in jazz. By
rights, he should be recognized as one of the
most important composers of this century.
Mingus himself was often angered by the
lack of official recognition of his work during
his lifetime.
Mingus was a famed bass player, as
well as a writer and thinker.
Mingus spent most of his youth in
the Watts district of Los Angeles, where
he learned to play the trombone, the
cello, and ultimately, the bass.
In the early I 94Os, Mingus was
earning his living as a bass player, and
played with some of the great legends of
jazz, including Charlie Parker, Miles
Davis and Dizzy Gillespie.
In 1953, Mingus fonned the first
Jazz Workshop. The Workshop gave
talented musicians the opportunity to
experiment with compositional form.
He began to incorporate free jazz,
alternative scales and rhythms in his
work during this time. He wrote scores
for instruments that were out of their
normal range. Hence, many musicians
shy away from his work.
:
Throughout the 1950s and 60s,
Mingus continued to innovate and shatter
the conventions of tradition'a1 jazz form.
' Mingus published his autobiography, Beneath The Underdog, in
1964 . His words and music live on as a
testament to his vision.

Basketball at Evergreen?
D.F. Scherer
There is a Basketball Disappearing
Task Force (DTF) charged to research the
possibility of adding basketball to the
existing sports program. The current
intercollegiate athletic program , at TESC
offers both soccer and swimming.
The OTF, made up of students,
faculty, and staff, was fanned in October
of 1992 by Ron Cheatham, Director of
Recreation, Wellness and Athletics with
the support of Carolyn Dobbs, Interim
Vice-President for Student Affairs.
The majority of the funds required to
pay for the initial $30~000 cost of starting
up the teams has been amassed through
sponsorship from the private sector and
CRC fund raising. The basketball DTF
assures that the team would be a
comparatively small burden upon the
already over-burdened budget, · and
combined annual costs for the men's and
women'S teams would be reduced to
$8,000 after the flISt year.
, The intended , criterion for the ·
proposed basketball teams according 10 the
DTF are:
-Evergreen basketball would be
affiliated with the National Association of
Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) of the 16
northwest colleges associated in the NAIA,
TESC is the only college without
basketball.
·The athletes, coaches, and the CRe
slaff will misc all of the travel money for
the teams.
·Every TESC student will be
welcome to tryout for team.
·TESC students can attend all
Evergreen varsity sporting events for free.
·Athletes will have 10 maintain high
academic standards in order 10 compete in
all NAIA games. Games and prac tices will
be scheduled around students' academic
commitments.
.A11 athletes involved will have to
meet the same admissions requirements as
other prospective Evergreen students.
But why would The Evergreen State
College, an alternative education
institution, want to become affiliated with
a mainstream association like NAlA

K.E.Y. Services
offers tutoring
EVERGREEN--K.E.Y. Student Services
offers a tutoring program for students.
They currently have eight tutors working
with ten students. K.E.Y.'s tutoring is
funded through a grant, so they have a
limited amount of money for the program.
However, if you need a tutor to help you
get through your program this quarter, or
if you have tutoring skills (and you need
a job), call Judy at x6507.
Businesses get
recycled goods
OLYMPIA--On Thursday, February 25,
every Olympia area business will have the
opportunity to receive a free Recycled
Products Office Pack by presenting a
coupon to local office supply merchant.
The intention of the day is to familiarize
local businesses with quality and variety of
recycled office products now on the
market.
The Buy Back America·Buy
Recycled campaign, a project of the City
of Olympia and the Clean Wasnmgton
Center, emphasizes that buying recycled
and closing the recycling loop is not only
an environmentally sound business
practice, but it also has many economic
benefits as well. The collection and

Sex survey seeks
participants
lOW A--The National Student Survey
Tabulation Center is looking for college
students to participate in the 1993 National
College Student Sex Survey. This survey
is entirely self-financed and it will
staunchly refuse to accept any federal,
state, or corporate funding, so it should be
unbiased and undaunted in its search for
academic truth in the sexual attitudes and
practices of today's college students. The
survey is dedicated to the continued
development of understanding of modem
sexuality.
The survey designers hope that at
least 500 students from across the nation
will decide that they would· like to
participate in the College Student Sex
Survey. The Survey forms will be
completely anonymous. Interested students
should write for an 1993 Sex Survey
Instruction Form by sending a selfaddressed, stamped, return envelope to:
National Student Survey, P.O. Box 13158,
Des Moines, Iowa, 50310. Survey results
will be made available upon request.
TACOMA--Corigliano's Symphony No.1

"Corigliano's Symphony No. 1 is a
compelling and powerful statement on
AIDS inspired in part by the Names
Quilt." The Names Project is a national
effort to create a hand-sewn tribute to the
tens of thousands of American stricken
with AIDS.

Plastics protest planned
Analysis
by Liz Hoar
People are responding 'to the $18
million ad campaign of the national
plastics industry's promotion of plastic and
plastic recycling. They're telling the
industry to, "Take the wrap. Take it
back!"
The national plastics industry has a
five year $50 million plan to tell
consumers to take another look at plastic.
Well we did, and found that most people
want to recycle their plastic packaging, but
most plastic packaging can't be recycled
in Olympia. These ads are an example of
industry's allempt to solve the plastic
recycling problem with "PR" instead of
real solutions.
On March II, WashPIRG and the
Evergreen Recycling Project will be
holding a Plasties Recycling Day on
campus in order to help consumers get rid
of their plastics. People will be able to
leave their plastics at a designated sight
near the dorms. You can recycle plastics
numbered 1, 2, 4, and 6. Please clean and
sort your plastic before bringing it to the
site. Other plastics which bear a recycling
code and number are not recyclable in the
community, but will be collected by
WashPIRG and sent back to the Society of
Plastics Industry (SPI) headquarters in
Washington D.C.
Plastics recycling has been
progressing slowly. Nationally, only four
percent of plastics are being recycled. The
market for plastic is limited, largely due to
a lack of commitment by the plastics
industry to buy back consumer collected
plastic for rcuse. Industry places recycling
symbols on many plastic containers that
arc not currently being recycled in the
community. Consumers are often faced
with plastic containers that have recycling
symbols on them, yet can not be recycled
in the community. Sending plastic to D.C.
is part of a national campaign that is
working to get rid of misleading recycling
symbols on plastic that is not recyclable.
For some people, Plastics Recycling
Day will offer one chance to get rid of
that pilc of stuff looming ominously in the
comer of the kitchen.
"I've been
waltmg for an
opportunity to get rid of my plastic all
quarter," said Ted Birk, student
coordinator for Plastics Recycling Day.
"The pile is about ready to take over my
front room. Now I find out that only part
of it is actually recyclable. On March II,
I'm going to tell the industry to take the
wrap. And all that junk that isn't
recyclable, I'm going to send it back."
For more information on the
campaign, see the Feb. 25 CPJ, or call
either the Recycling Project at x6782 or
WashPIRG at x6058.

Exercise intensity: how
hard is hard enough?
by Beth Gebstadt
The primary physiological function
of exercise is to maintain the integrity of
the heart, blood vessels, blood, lungs and
muscles, as well as other major'systems in
the body. This is done by creating a
positive stress on the muscles (including
the heart), circulatory system, and lungs
through physical movement. lbis exertion
on the . body forces it to react,
strengtherung the system. But how hard
sho~~d an individual exercise to receive
posItIve benefits?
Over the years, recommended levels
of ~xercise intensity have chan~ed
drasb~y. ~~rs today are suggesung
exerc!se mtenS!beS at lower levels for new
exerc!sers hopmg ~ ens~ adherence to
exercise. The rationale IS that some
exercise is better .than none. Studies have
shown that exerc!se d~ not. have to be
perf~rmed at as high of mte~Ity leve~s. as
preViously thought. to receive ~slu~e
benefi~. .The most Impo~t .ques~on m
dete~l~ng the a~~p~te ,mtenslty of
exercise IS what an mdivldual ~ h~th ~
fi~~ss goal~ are and what ,an m~vld~ s
ability to s~ck to an exerc:lSe ~glme IS.
Exer~lse for health IS qUI~ a broad
spectrum; It C?uld refer to cardiov~ular
fiUless, emotIonal wellness, or disease
prevention. However, in any of these cases
any level of exercise, intensity is
beneficial and better than none. Therefore,
for beginning exercisers or low level
exercisers it is more advantageous to
recommend lower level exercise intensities
that can be achieved and maintained rathez
than higher intensity levels that will soon
be aborted.
If weight management is the overall
goal, then the recommended exercise
intensity may be different. In this situation
it would be more beneficial to exercise for
a significantly longer period of time at a
slightly lower intensity level than a shorter
but more intense exercise session because
it may be easier to obtain a greater energy
expenditure at the lower intensity, if the
duration of time is substantially longer.
Therefore intensity is not as significant,
but rather · an increased duration of
exercise to increase energy expenditure.
However, for training and improved
athletic performance intensity needs to be
stressed. But it is important to determine
what an individual's goals are before
suggesting specific intensity guidelines.
The . importance of a minimal intensity
guideline is questionable and it may be
more important for an individual's goals to
be the primary focus of the proper advised
intensity.

wellness coordinator.
TESC budget outlook grim
by Robert Taylor
Student representatives to the
Operational Budget and Planning Council
(OPBC) and TESC Administration
officials continued their efforts to inform
the student body about budget PTOCeedings
by holding a public forum last Wednesday
in the second floor Library lobby. The
meeting attracted 30 students and
community members at the start, with
about 15 people staying through the entire
two-hour meeting.
TESC President Jane Jervis gave
background information on the overall
state budget process. Jervis explained that
the State Constitution mandates that
Kindergarten through twelfth grade
education must be fully funded by the
state, and when combined with otbez state
obligatory spending, means when budget
cuts are necessary that a disproportionate
share of budget cuts must come from areas
such as higher education.
According to Jervis, the share of the
state budget that can be cut (including the
TESC budget) is approximately eight
billion dollars, and the current budget
shOrtfall is approximately two billion
dollars, which would lead to a 25 percent
cut. Current proposals for tax increases
might restore about half of this, leading to
a budget cut for TESC in the range of 1213 percent.
Jervis also stressed that enrollment
caps imposed by the legislature have
meant that higher education is less
accessible to prospective students; as such,
the Legislature is considering raising the
caps and tuition while decreasing overall
funding. This leads to the dilemma of
having to serve more students at
Evergreen with less money, while
expecting students to pay more, which
could seriously impact the teacher-student
ratio and the quality of education that
students receive here. In essence, the
budget process this year will require

people receive free medical allention,
psychological attention, food, housing,
recreation and work. One could argue that
this is accomplished by disregarding
individual freedom. It is very casy to talk
about individual freedom when one does
not suffer of a lethal situation such as
being infected with AIDS . Another
contributing factor for this enviable
situation in Cuba could be the relatively
low consumption of drugs in that country.
In the end, it is the will of the people and
their government to do something about
the problem what makes a difference.
Other statistics, that people in the
US concerned about health issues should
be looking at, are provided by Dr. Juan
Carlos de la Concepci6n in the New York
Times of February 16. While New York
City (with approximately the same
population of Cuba) has 987 reported
cases of children infected with AIDS, the
corresponding figure for Cuba is 3 - one
of them died. Could it be that rich,
developed U.S. has something to learn
from poor, underdeveloped, "communist"
Cuba?

On June 9, 1992, 4S HIV positive

Bangkok Post reported that the Burmese
ambassador met with the Prime Minister
of Thailand to discuss the forced return of
these women. Prime Minister Sisuree
Chitkul said that the women would be
returned to Burma and that the Burmese
government would ensure their safety. Due
to Burma's deplorable human rights

impossible.
In a Thai government study
conducted in December of 1991, nearly
50% of 200 women working in Thai

Almost 75% of these women were

women will be forced to enter Thailand

McCann talks past, present, and future
by David McCaffery
Despite the changes and challenges
of the past years, Evergreen's first
president, Charles McCann, still teaches
and .takes time out to offer a perspective
on where the school is at. Currently,
McCann teaches the English Poetry
program. The following are excerpts from
an interview this month through which he
offers a refreshing look at the school's
past and present condition.
CPJ: Evergreen's been operating for 25
years now and it is commonly thought that
at one time, the school's survival was
severely jeopardized. How near to closure
did this institution come?
McCann: The school was never extremely
close to closing, but throughout the mid
and late '70s, it seemed as though a
considerable amount of time was spent
explaining the purpose of Evergreen.
CPJ: In one of the school's archive
videotapes featuring a discussion between

yourself, an interviewer and an antiEvergreen state congressman, you made
the statement that at least half of the jobs
by the tum of the century had not even
been invented yet. You expressed a belief
that there· was · a strong need for an
institution that offered academic options
which were not solely pre-professional. Do
you believe this to still be true?
McCann: Absolutely, there will always be
a need for people who can read and write
effectively and are good with numbers.
CPJ: What's Evergreen been most
successful at?
McCann: Student and teacher interaction.
The faculty and students still work very
closely together.
CPJ: What aspects of the school have
failed to measure up to the standards you
had hoped for?
McCann: Well, there are two. The first is
the lack of internships and the second the
lack of spending devoted towards building
the library collection.
CPJ: Why the lack of internships?
McCann: I have no idea.
CPJ: What about the lack of growth in the
library?
McCann: Spending efforts simply haven't
sacrificed enough to make it happen.

CPJ: In the future, then, what besides •
more internships and more books in the
library do you hope to see?
McCann: I hope to see a greater amount
of support from the alumni. The amount of
money' given annually remains shockingly
small. Granted, we are basically only 20
years old.
CP/: Might this stem from Evergreen
students taking lower paying jobs than
other college graduates?
McCann: Absolutely not. the sum given is
low by any standards.
CPJ: Do you feel that both the sciences
and humanities have been well represented
at this school?
McCann: Yes.
CPJ: Has the idea of an individual
contract worked out?
McCann: By and large, yes. Over the
years, I have seen some excellent work
done. It is true, though, that at the last
minute you get some students running
around who don't really know what they
want to do.
CPJ: Throughout the school's history
there has been a strong commitment to
having no traditional academic
departments per se, why?
McCann: It is not that departments are
bad.. but they often view certain aspects of
education as the sole responsibility of
another department. For instance, the
consensus view may be that the
Composition 101 teacher teach everyone
how to write. Consequently you will have
students graduating who don't know how
to write.
CPJ: To go back a bit, it is my
understanding that before entering the
academic profession, you worked as a
manager of some sort of furniture
business. What made you enter the
academic profession?
McCann: When I was working for the

business after getting out of the navy I
wasn't learning anything. When you are
young, you're fortunate if you can work
under someone who is really good at what
they're doing. In my case, the business
wasn't going anywhere and I wasn't
learning anything. I thought I could just go
to wode: and read at home.
CPJ: Officially, you retired last year, but
you're still teaching. How much longer do
you expect to teach? ,
McCann: As long as it's fun and people
sign up. God, it would be embarrassing if
not enough people signed up.

Response
'R eviewer sees
what he wants to
Since I began reviewing rums in the
CPJ last fall, I have been asked many
times why I choose such a variety of
Hollywood "garbage." The answer is
simple: it's a hell of a lot more fun than
, intellectualizing them. If I saw a movie at
the Film Society, (as I frequently do) I
would still give it the Same trealrnent.
Therefore, does it really matter what kind
of picture it is? I see the strange
compilation of movies that I do because I
want to. If you want theory, symbolism, or
social meaning, go read a book on the
subject. Film criticism to me has always
been a silly pursuit, because anyone who
watches a movie does so for different
reasons, Who gives a shit what anybody
else thinks, especially when some idiot sits
in a theater, and goes home to write a
book of film theory? In my mind, such
people who do so lead private lives of
desperation, where their only source of
inspiration must come from a roll of
plastic. The one kind of theory I respect
originates from film makers themselves,
because they know what it's like to make
movies.
I think many Evergreeners don't take
my reviews seriously, and I would
carefully question their perspectives on
reality if that were the case. However,
many students do take themselves too
seriously here, and as long as they do, I
shall continue to write "garbage." If you
don't like my reviews, don't read them.
Karl Steel, this Bud's for you!

Farm should
supply Cafe
Here and now I wish to revoke the
statement that our "Farm is foremostly
interested in profits through the use of free
, labor," in the Sept. 24, 1992 CPJ article
entitled "Practice vs. preaching at the
Organic Farm." This is entirely untrue,
and once again apologize to Chris Farmer
and the students of the Sustainat>le
Agriculture program.
If now we may venture into the
bailiwick of the term "sustainable." Can
anyone define this term? In Chris Farmer's
sentence, in his response of Oct. 8, 1992,
"For a farm to be sustainable, the farm
must be able to exist and prosper
economically as well as ecologically."
Chris uses the term "prosper," prosper is
to be successful.
Please to correct me if I'm wrong,
but if the food (biomass) is in hannonious
existence ecologically wise. without any
foreign imports (petroleum in any of its
forms. machine parts. of course no
destructive artificial fertilizers or ever
more poisonous biocides ... ), then
accordingly, the rationale for economics of
sustainability are realistically in support of
this form of agriculture. Would it be
inaccurate to view the above fannula as a
more productive and less consumptive
degree of sustainable agriculture?
While still lurching in the dimension
of sustainability, let us address the issue of
our student operated caf~ . Consider the
possibility of creating a group contract to
farm solely for the caf~, with a zero profit
margin. The Farm need not be altered, but
co-exist with a patchwork of individually
farmed organic food crops. Produced for
credits, for Greeners by Greeners, fueled
by People Power!

Cartoon censure
is dimwitted
The letters critical of Chris
Washburn's editorial cartoon of Jan. 28
read like a Saturday Night Live parody of
everything that is dimwitted and ignorant
in for much of what passes for political
"sensitivity" at Evergreen.
The cartoon shows two oafISh and
corrupt looking military officers
responding negatively to Clinton's efforts
to lift the ban on gays in the military. In
alarm. one of them blusters "What next?I"
The general's paranoid anticipatory fantasy
is incarnated in the ludicrous-looking drag
queen, sheep in arm. standing behind him.
Barbara Gibson displays a stunning degree
of incomprehension and studied
humorlessness when she describes
Washburn's work as a "gay-bashing
cartoon ... an unfunny cheap shot at a
vulnerable minority" (Feb. 11. 1993).
Gibson would probably find Lenny
Bruce's humor "uncivil, intimidating and
abusive." Like so many Evergreen
politicae who are not unoffended unless
they are offended, Gibson turns a blind
eye and a deaf ear to any perception that
is offbeat, ironic and indirect
We can usually count on these types.
in their constabulary, panoptical zeal, to
threaten to censor those who displease
them. Gibson does not let us down. She
suggeslS that publishing the cartoon is "a
violation of the Evergreen Social
Contract" because it "covertly endorses
violence against gays and lesbians." By
what conceivable stretch of even the
dullest imagination could Washburn's
cartoon be interpreted as an endorsement
of violence against anyone? What could
possibly motivate such a wildly
preposterous interpretation? Patronizing.
sappy liberal guilt, anyone?

Hello! Excuse me. is anybody out
there? Does anybody know how to listen
or is rhetoric your only game? I promised
myself never to get involved in petty
Greener squabbles. as they seemed to me
to be a waste of vital energy, but this has
gone beyond petty - this has entered the
realm of absurdity! Here, for your
edification. is the document you are all so
fond of hiding behind: "Congress shall
make no law respecting an establishment
of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise
thereof; or abridging the freedom of
speech or of the press; or the right of the
people peaceably to assemble. and to
petition the goverrunent for a redress of
grievances." Let me say that I, or for that
matter most of those who have aired an
opinion within my hearing (and I did say
most. not all). have never said that Chris
Washburn (or the KKK) does not have a
right to speak and/or publish whatever
they desire. Indeed. the First Amendment
does protect this right Fortunately, those
voices are not the only people whose right
to public voicing of their opinion is
protected; my voice is also guaranteed an
outlet One would never have guessed that
fact from the myriad letters that have
poured into the CPJ in defense of
Washburn's constitutional rights in the
face of those "hypersensitive PC Nazis"
and their dissenting opinions.
I am sorry to inform you that the
First Amendment does not protect you
from other people's opinions. For that
purpose we would need to add yet another
amendment. something to the effect of:
"You may say whatever you like. publish
whatever you like, whenever and wherever
you like and if anybody should happen to
disagree with your statement - SHOOT
THEM. " God help us that we should be
held accountable for what we say. we
might just fmd that we had nothing to say
in the ftrst place and would have been
better off keeping our mouths shut all ,
along.
Wake upl Get a cluel No one has
the right to hide behind the First
Amendment or it is is they who have lost
its meaning.

constructed by two men. The intent was to
examine the psychology of choice. OlD'
goal was not alienation. rather a query into
how it manifests and proliferates particularly in an environment where herdlike obedience to narrow political doc!rine
is prevalent. It is not surprising that a
gender assumption was made regarding
authorship, but it is disquieting. '
We admit that the recent
development of misinformation
surrounding the rape charge influenced our
experiment. How can we, as men. attempt
to educate ourselves about gender
inequality and sexism when we must
endure thoughtless drivel like, "All you
men are rapists," daily on this campus?
The "tunnel" was not a political
declaration, it was a test to determine
which of you respect the right of each of
us to enjoy equal access, period. We do
not contest the legitimacy of any group or
individual to counter oppression through
empowerment. provided they mind
everyone else's right to the same.
We applaud anyone who felt and
acted in defiance to our prohibitive
information. We also thank the authors of
the response articles for their candor,
however, we expect this information will
force you to reflect on your assumptions.
Statements like. "I know plenty of men on
this campus who aren't rapists." expose
the same defensive tactic as a white
person thinking they are not racist in
saying. "Some of my best friends are
black."
Censorship is our common enemy in
the struggle against stereotypes.
factionalization, and insensitivity. Those of

Hello,
I address this letter to the Evergreen
community and in particular to my fellow
alum with the hope that open and honest
dialog will someday allow us to be allies.
Where should I begin? I have been
asking myself that question for days now.
I am amazed at the amount of words spent
to draw criticism upon my character and
the quality of the radio program that is
hosted by myself and my friend Tiokasin
on KAOS. I suppose I am beginning to
understand what the CPJ cartoonists must
feel like lately ....
At this time. I choose not to focus
my letter on the comments of Mary J.
Zodrow, and W. Chris Maun, other than I
find it absurd that they would use such
racist rhetoric ' to show their displeasure
with our radio show (which happens to air
every Monday evening from 6 to 9 p.m .•
89.3 FM). There are several comments
from other listeners that may not make it
to the pages of the CPJ, they are however
on file at KAOS and can be looked at

Another Indian man named Turtle
Heart came. He looked around and then
we spoke. He said that he was the keeper
of the pipe and that he had come to
retrieve the pipes, but after seeing how we
present our merchandise with focus on
sacredness, preservation. and education. he
was satisfied. He recognized the origin of
the pipestone and pipes because he also
purchases from the same white man. When
Turtle Heart left he gave us his permission
and his blessing to carry pipestone.
Since then I've asked over 50 Indian

are grateful to have an outlet for their

until the charge has either been sustained
or the person has been exonerated." There
it is: if the harassment charge is not
sustained. it is because the accused has
been "exonerated." i.e. proven innocent!
When it was pointed out that' our judicial
system rests upon the moral truism that a
Person is to be regarded as innocent unless
proven guilty, it was retorted that an
Evergreen investigation is not a court of
law. Oh. Are we to resign ourselves, then,
to open season on the rights of defendants
in investigations of alleged harassment at
Evergreen? (It is perhaps a source of some
encouragement that the State Attorney
General struck from the policy some of
the unconstitutional howlers that the
faculty had earlier endorsed.) And when it
was pointed out at a meeting of faculty
that the latter's preferred approach to
handling issues concerning sexual
harassment appears to contain wholesale
violations of persons' legal and moral
rights, one defender of a Draconian policy
assured us that people who talk about
"rights" in this context are merely using
such talk "as a cloak." A cloak to hide
what, she was asked. Dead silence.
Last month's spray painting around
campus of the name of an accused rapist
and writing of threatening graffiti on his
door is a grisly reenactment. to reverse
Marx. of last year's farce as this year's
tragedy. If we do not soon hear
repUdiations of these vile acts from many
of the 24 signatories of last year's Open
Letter, we must draw the conclusion that
these faculty bear a major burden of
responsibility for the shameful injustice
perpetrated against someone whom we are
at this time morally and legally obliged to
regard as not gUilty. And the 24 might be
joined, in a heartwarming gesture of
coll~tive repentance. by the Chief of
PublIc Safety and the Director of Housing,
who describe the accuser as a "victim,"
and thereby brand the accused a rapist.
In the wake of the atrocities visited
upon Anita Hill two years ago, many
angered members of this community have
decided that since "the process" cannot be
trusted, the rule of the street shall be the
order of the day. Rumor has it that a
group of faculty calling itself The
Robespierre Caucus will propose that the
inscription on Evergreen's logo be
changed from Omnia Extares to Lex
Talionis.

CPJ writers "in the loop"
by Andy Lyons
Hi! CPJ field reporter Andy Lyons
here. Ya know. I've been a lot of places
and seen a lot of things; from the lofty
peaks of A-Dorm to the toxin-laden
labyrinths of the library building, and
lemme tell ya, it's been a real hootenanny

was talking to CPJ Managing Editor.

fifth of ... heh, heh. that's a tall tale for
another time.
But anyway where was I ... oh yeah,
Have you ever been interested in the
intricate inner workings in this bastion of
higher education? Have you ever had the
longing desire to fmd the hidden agenda?
To be "in the loop?" To get the proverbial
"skinny on the scam?" If you answered
"yes" to any of those questions, then get
off your duff and get on the CPJ as a staff
reporter where you'll reap all the
prestigious benefits of such a title. Why.
we'll have ya out digging your teeth in a
bone crunching. up to the minute. late
breaking. hard news story before you can
say "libel suit!"
Say, is your life lacking in deadlines. do you have enough time to ... oh,
say ... enjoy a life without stress? Are you
looking for that Associated Press style that
everyone's talking about? Have you
always dreamed of seeing your name
printed in Times Roman 10 point bold
face? Then look no further! This is the
place for you!
Do you feel that the public's right to
know of events pf public importance and
interest is the overriding mission of the
mass media and that the purpose of
distributing news and enlightened opinion
is to serve the general welfare, '8Jld
furthermore. that journalists who use their
professional status as representatives of the
public for selfish or other unworthy
motives violate a high trust? Well ... we
eould probably still use you. so stop by.
Journalism's no easy racket, but
lemme tell ya. (chuckle knowingly) just
watching that administrative official cringe
when he opens the paper up to your story
is payment in full!
The question is: does Andy really
know whal "watanabe" means?

to fight hunger and homelessness.
If you can't get a team together, call
us anyway; you can still make a
tremendous impact. When you make a
personal commitment to the Hunger

community (redistributing the wealth),
accomplishing important work projects
(sharing the load), raising awareness
nationally (making way for better
legislation), and rebuilding our community.

A NEIL JORDAN FILM
CAPITAL MALL CINEMAS
STEPHANIE KOZICK will be presenting
a brqwn bag seminar from noon to 1 p.m.
today in CRC 112. The topic of the talk is
"Your Heart in Love and in Work." This
event is sponsored by the Well ness
Program.
by Brad Watkins
Neil Jordan's latest film The Crying
Game was a very interesting experience
for me. I was actually quite bored with the
show as I was sitting through it, and didn't
really like it until after I was leaving the
theater. As I rode the bus back to
Evergreen, I realized what a SUbtle, funny,
and twisted lillie film it was. The kind of
movies I enjoy the m<ist are those in
which the audicnce is Laken to extreme
limits, and then made to think. The Crying
Game is by rio means an extreme film, but
it does encourage you to think about
relationships.
The whole film is based on how we
might work out a variety of relationships
with other people, regardless of how
strange. I admired the movie because it
made me reconsider my own approach in
handling other people. I don't want to tell
you how the plot is structured, because it
would ruin the whole experience for you.
Besides, I could very easily give away the
unique surprises that are contained within.

million for less quality! I was also
surprised that this film was nominated for
six Academy Awards. Rarely is a British
movie given such high acclaim. To my
knowledge, the last one was My Left Foot
which came out roughly three years ago.
If I had to say anything bad about
the show, it would be this: if it wasn't for
one scene, where a woman is shown not
being who we think she is, then the whole
concept would have been a cliche of
personal relationships. The two main
characters would tum out to be entirely
nonnal and everything would be lost.
Fortunately, this does not happen to

As I asked around campus, I learned
that DeLaria has a small but vehement cult

her name brought many smiles. Exalted
mistress Heiqi (Markert) describes her
experience at Lesbo-A-Gogo:

magic, from page .6
When we spoke with Beaver Chief,
he seemed surprised that. EARTH MAGIC
was being hassled at all.
The reason why this alumnus is
turning to myoid friend,- the ePJ is
because I'm getting tired of cleaning
smear off of EARTH MAGIC's windows
from all of the mean things that folks ate
writing about ~lling pipestone, pipes,
pipestone, hoop drums, Indian artwork and
the bones of the planet.
I) Today there are no pipes in stock,
but they carne from a sixth generation
pipemaker named Hapan who gives thanks
for bringing his craft to the west
2) Our pipestone comes from private
property in Wisconsin. Our pipestone
DOES NOT come from the sacred
monument or sacred Indian burial grounds.
3) Hoop drums? Get real! I can't
think of an ancient culture on Earth who
didn't make music on round covered
circles from Celts to Africans to
Aborigines.
4) Ripping off the bones of our
planet? Just ask: a mineral specimen
collector about the risks, time, expenses,
etc. And a fact: when specimens enter the
surface layer of Earth (yes, they do travel)
and are mined out - they are protected and
preserved, but if they are not mined at that
point, they weather and become dust.
EARTH MAGIC is a 14 year
connection with many folks in many
countries who work for preservation. Until
we became involved in the quartz world,
most large quartz was being powdered for
computer chips. Now a synthetic is used
and the giant quartz is safe.
EARTH MAGIC doesn't need smear
on its windows or mean notes put through
the mail slot. We don't need personal
slander and threats of persecution and

basketball, from cover
Admissions counselors, Bob Cillo
and Jay Joseph respond that there are
many students who are qualified and
desire to partake in the type of education
that Evergreen offers, yet are turned away
by the absence of a basketball program.
The basketball program would
enhance the desirability to engage in
alternative education (the question of
whether or not Evergreen offers basketball
is not among the top two questions asked
by prospective students, as The Olympian
incorrectly stated on 2/13, however
admissions assures that it is a point of
interest).
Cillo admits that "questions
concerning interdisciplinary learning and
financial aid availability are perhaps the
two most frequently asked questions."
David Coffing, student member of
the basketball DTf, believes that fmding
the students to play on the team will be
the least of the problems.
According to the OW the most
difficult barrier for the team will be
shaking the image of a money and glory
university athletic circus that's designed to
win the game at all costs. The Evergreen
basketball team is being designed
primarily for and by TESC students and
not for the benefit of the Olympia
community.
A survey will be circulated during
the second week of the spring quarter to
gauge community support for the
basketball program, until then all

budget, from page 3
difficult balances between access and
quality.
Steve Trotter, College Budget
Officer, gave an overview of the specific
Evergreen budget situation. He emphasized
that the current budget process is very
fluid, in that the Legislature is still
determining the 1993-95 statewide budget.
All meetings of the OPBe are open
to the public. Students wishing more
inforntation about the budget process are
encouraged to attend the March 3 OPBC
meeting at noon, when the draft divisional
budgets will be presented, and March 10,
when there will be an all-campus meeting.

I am ' 'a ' SiCiIi8n,(1erman/Native
American and proud of all of these. I own
a $600 TV and $2200 stereo, both of
which I don't use with the exception of
Mondays for Native American .Voices.
This Native programming is utterly the
most important piece of public infmnation
that I have acCess to. I make it a primity
around which I plan my . schedules.
Besides boo~, there is not any current
Native information available. For Native
peoples, there isn't any w!Ult for written
styles; everything is handed down in
current farst-hand fonn so as to accurately
convey the message. This is in direct
opposition to Western societies who are ,
perfectly content with removing the
intuitive apprehensions and human
emotions of the original experience, so
they can discern the structure of Ultimate
reality from a parade of transitory
incidents. This goes without saying that to
communicate in my Native side of my
culture, that straightforward blunt and
descriptive process must be intact to
convey the slightest of meanings. This is
how I see Gary's and Tiokasin's show
going, but I think that there needs to be
more slack given to their expressional
modes. In our culture, there is virtually
nothing but straight talk because we feel
that we don't have time for idle B.S. To
talk other than blunt is more than
culturally demeaning, it is downright
sacrilegious. So I thank KAOS for
providing time for my cultural expression
and I ask for continued advancing
straightforward talk.
