The dilemma at
Denny's began on a
stormy Sunday night,
The fact that we were
even going there meant
that we had hit the
depths o t ennui. It all
started when our
,qaitress, Christy,
(names have been
changed to protect the
innocent) sat us in t.he
non-slTloking section.
The menu i n its
splendor, offered us
the most tempting of
choices. Some so
irresistible , such a s
Moon's Over l1y Ha'tllTly,
Play it Again Slam, and
SleepWalker' s Special,
one of our party was
almost traumatized. She
sat in terror, hoping
that the waitress would
not come back too soon.
When Chr.isty said,
"1' 11 be right back tel
take your order, as
soon as I drop off
these coffees,· we were
in awe at the
promptness of the
service. But sanehow her words did not quite ccme true. We watched her drop the coffees oft,
sareone else's order, deliver another table';; food, and meander behind the DOu..,ter.
Finally, when she remembered that we existed, and came back to take CUI order, we had
forgotten about our hunqer and had taken to learning new tricks. one of our parancid party
members ordered coffee in the Denny's tradition, and waited patiently for the cream that
Christy promised. Another more aspiring waitress noticing the lcok of diEsatisfaction fram
the man with the creamless coffee, soon came to our rescue. Five minutes later Christy came
bearing the original bowl of cresn.
As we saw our food arriving' fran the ki teben, our fine waitress loadlad up a bu:ge tray.
and with amazing grace balanced it upon one hand, as she was leaning over to reach somethinq
else the syrup began pouring off the side of the tray. She looked np and saw us laughing at
har, ahe hurried to the table and made apologies, we kept waiting for the whole tL'Sy tc
spill. BIlt we received our food without further mishaps, and ate in obvious pleasure. '!be
lack of ability by our waitress hadn ' t scarred us for life. Her funny qualities had actually
kept us entertained.
As the evening at
Denny ' s was caning to an end, and the only remnants of food left wera bacon and sausages. we
had a quick IlIEIIIOry of what our t.ures at Kidd Valley had taught us , Cleanliness with one's
. leftovers is just not any fun. The butter substance soon found its way onto the plate with
the left over pig products, and was dressed in the finest of syrup. r£ that wafln ' t enough, \..e
seasoned it nicely with salt, pepper, sugar, Tabasco sauce, ketchup, and cream. Our only
vegetarian friend was tempted if only saneone would ha~ paid a decent MIOunt for her to
taste this creation. Since nobody dared to try the delicacy, we pushed it aCT.'OS!I the table so
all the fine patrons could qet a view. When it was obviolls that we were done eating, and t ,wo
of our members had left to sm:>ke their ciqs, Christy cmoo to clear the table. She lex.ked at
us sitting there, and very calmly asked if we were finished, motioning to the pl~te of doan.
We hated to _
it go, but we couldn't very well ask for a doggie bag.

' quarl! fOOl building to bc completed by
by Early Ewing
Two years ago, the· Board of
Trustces of the Evergreen State College
asked the College Recreation Center
(C RC) to raise its rates. To lessen the
dll!cts this would have on families, the
Cl<C opted to instate a family rate policy.
/\1 Ihal Limc, the CRC defined family as
lIIarried co uples, or parents with children
IInder 18 living at home, This definition
was recommended to the CRC by the
,\IlOrnl!Y Gencral of Washington State and
I.., thl! oefinition used by the State of
Washington,
This quarter, the CRC has been
askl!d to updatc their definition, After

IIl l:mbcr, CRC Director Ron Cheatham

Longhouse project clears first hurdle
by David Potter
Ex.ceutive Vice President T,L, "Les"
PLIICC and Provost Russ Lidman presented
111l~ Evergreen '93·'95 biennium capital
budget rCtluest before the Capital Budget
COlilln iLlce of the State Legislature on
Tlle'sday, the 9th of February, Included in
11I;ll budgct is $2,1 million for the
I.onghuuse Cultural Education Center.
III his first remark after Purce
I illished describing the budget, the chair of
lhl' Committee, Representative Art Wang,
commended Evergreen for its commitment
II) cultural diversity.
The budget, which also includes
provision for various safety and access
illlpl'OVCIIICllts, repairs, campus computer
lIe'Lwurking, and Library Building
dlicicllcy, will now move onlO the floor
01 the House of Representatives,
Although (as always) this is a tight
hudgl't year, Colleen Ray, coordinator of
Ihl! l.llllghouse Project, is hopeful the
projl!ct will be financed.
"Thl! reason I'm hopeful about its
11IIloing is because of its strong
adlllinistralive support from Evergreen,
,Utd its rcpresentation on Governor
Gardner's recommended budget. So
barring outright opposition, it should be
11I1IlIed." said Ray.
The spccilic details of the proposal
haw been daritied considerably over the
lasL sevcrul months. New blueprints dl:awn
by campus architect Jon Collier are for an
:Ipproximately 10,000 square foorstructure
encompassing two main rooms, kitchen
facilities, rcstrooms, and a large windowed
10ungc area looking out on the surrounding
woods,
The two main rooms feature
IIlllvcahk walls, fold-out bleachers, and
firl' pils built into the floor, Thus, these
1\)OlllS can be used variously as lecture
halls, seminar rooms, banquet halls,
:tudilOriullls or ceremonial halls, and
rhildcarc spaces, depending on the
rOllriguwtion of the various walls,
bkaehers, and so on. As classrooms, the
LOllghouse will accommodatc some 260
~ 1l!dCIll';,
1\ Ithough many earlier visions of the
Lunghouse included space for visiting
The
Longhouse
Project
faculty and students to live and work
LOgl!lhcr, the present proposal does not
illdudc Ulis opuon.
Saio Ray, "Offices and residential
'(; ubicks' havc been cut from the plan, but
a 1\' going to be developed in another
phase, We'd like to see scholars·inI esidl!nce as a part of this school."
A ncw descriptive brochure about
IIIl' Longhouse Project has been developed
The Evergreen State College
Olympia. WA 98505
Address Correction Requested
by the college for public relations,
In rcsponse 10 concerns voiced by
ibal mcmbers that this will not be a
traditional Longhouse, the name has been
expanded to "The Longhouse Cultural
Education Center."
Says Ray, "There are Longhouses on
LIibal land that are used for religious
purposes. This Center is not lO be
confused with those. That is not to say
that the Longhouse Cultural Education
Center will not be spiritual."
' Ray spends much of her time as
project coordinator meeting with local
LIibes and communities. She notes with
pride that recently a slrong letter of
support was received from United Indians
of All Tribes (Bernie Whitebear,
president). She also notes the support of
the Governor's Office of Indian Affairs,
the South Puget Intertribal Planning
Agency (SPIPA), Margaret (jl~n (chair,
Samish Tribe), and the many other
supportive groups and individuals.
The Longhouse is presently planned
to be built in the woods one sees looking
directly out from the CAB to the left of
the Seminar Building and to the right of
LAB II.
Asked how students and others can
help make the Longhouse a reality, Ray
urged people to call their state
representatives, to sign the resolutions of
support presently circulating (copies are
posted at the Indian Center/Native Student
II

"People bringing it to our attention
illdl!cO makcs us beuer," said Cheatham,
" We neeu to make sure we are not
di scriminating or leaving people out.
EVl:rgrccn is a place where we want to
brillg everyone in,"
Anolher concern was what legal
IlJlpact diverging from the state's family
Lll'rillitioll would have on other
LJI gallizaLions on campus, After much
1\'Sl':lrch. Cheatham discovered that
allering the statement caused no legal
dil'licultics and dccided that the CRC
should go ahead and update their family
dclilliLioll,
"I support the actions of the CRC
slarf in developing a morc inclusive
policy," , said Art Costantino, Vice
I'rl!sident of Studenl Affairs .
The aClual new wording of the CRC
ddinition has not been decided upon, but
lor the rest of the aeademic year, the
I aJllily definition will include "same sex
l'ouplcs rcsiding at the same residence."
T herc is a meeting to elicit community
input on Ule language of the definition
Friuay, Fcb, 19, from 1:30 to 2:30 in
CRC 112,
" I welcome your suggestions on
leddining the meaning of family as it
pc rtains to the CRC policy," said
Chl!aLhal1l in a letter to concerned
l'ollllllLlnily members. "I don't want it to
g,'t Inlo a debate for those against it or for
il ," s~Lid Cheatham, "but to just sit down
and talk about a meaning that can
encom pass everyone."
" I'm really excited about the
L:OIIIJllu nily forum," said Williams,
" because I lhink that's exactly what they
should do."
No policy has been set as lO how the
CRC would go about checking the
qualifications of couples. For the time

'Mo~
meeting,
to Jenni Mechem, a student
member, who along with her coI\;presentative Nora Fast helped facilitate
iL , was to get ideas regarding expanding
, tudent input into the budget process.
"Bcing on OPBC, and looking at
pLins for student involvement [which are
II10sll y public forums]. I realized that there
wasn'l a lot of room for: students to frame
issues, alld it's very important [or students
lO g.:t into them,"said Meechem.
This was illustrated by comments
madc at the meeting by Kim Goforth,
studcnt rcpresentative to 'the Board of
Trustees, who has been working eloseiy
with Icgislative committees dealing with
the TESC budget, and states that current
fonx:asts will call for a 13-15 percent
minimum cut in the 1993-95 budget for
Evcrgreen.
However, the individual budget for
the college is still in the process of being
draned by thc divisions o[ the college
(,\ cad': llIi,' Affairs, Student Affairs,
Fill ~ III CC and Budget), so the majority of
lit,' llIl'l:tillg was not dedicated to soliciting
.'.l lldC:Ill opinion about the budget, but
r;ll lI,' r studcllt opinion about how student
Up illiull should bc solicited.

Punicip:Jnt's reactions to the
Ill ccling lVere miXed. Scott LeDuc, a
sludcnL self-described as "working in

was pleascd at the outcome of the
111ee Lillg.
" It got people talking about
illlpur~\I1t issues, and communication is the
1I10st important thing. Students have to
know what's going on," said LeDuc.
Kcrry Lauder, a fourth year student,
was more pessimistic about this process,
"llIstead of coming in here and talking
abollt how to talk about it (the budget), we
lIeed to sct up the weekly meetings and
)! ~ L0 11 wi lh il. Students, realize that this is
serious business - we need more than
thirty people showing up."
There will be another student

Five of the six teenagers who went
011
a late-night theft spree through
Modular Housing Saturday, Feb. 6, have
been identified by witnesses: Public Safety
has turned its investigation findings over
to thc prosecuting attorney and wants the
youths to be charged with nine counts
,',I(; h of residential burglary.
As Public Safety officer Tammi
SLrc[(;h arrived for duty early Sunday
IIllJrnillg, a report came in regarding a
stolen sllowboard. A short while later,
another report came in stating that the
boots to the snowboard had also been
. stolen, upcriodically, more reports came in
throughout the day," Stretch said. "While
we were wking a report from one person,
anothl:r person would come up and talk to
LIS . WC spent two and a half hours in the
Mod area interviewing people who had
gutlen thcir stuff stolen."
Ninety percent of the items stolen
wcre rccovered by Campus Safety. Among
olhcr things recovered were: a snowboard,
CDs and CD players, 35mm cameras,
sOllie bongs, and a large, ornate, brass
hookah among other things.
Upolicy is that if a bong or a hookah
was used 10 smoke marijuana or other
l:olltrolled substance, then it is
paraphernalia and will not be returned to
i ls righlful owners," said Larry Savage.
Stretch said that the youths checked
Ullt their perspective targets by "going to
p~{Jple's houses, looking for people who
liv..:d lIext door, and then scoped out their
hOlIlCS while talking to them, to know
\Vhae. the good stuff is at 3 a.m."
ACl.:onJing to Stretch, the lads had no
problelll entering the housing units as all
uf IhclIl had unlocked doors or windows.
"The kids were going door to door
like thcy were trick or treating," stated
Stretch. "After talking with the suspects
wc fuund that the people had left their
dours unlocked or their windows
ulliocked," said Stretch.
Over the course of interviewing the
victims, some rcported that they saw some
juvenile males that didn't look like they
belonged around there. And in a phone
intcryiew, a name came up belonging to a

Whitener's office tLAB I, 1015]), to
contact her at x6718 if they wish to be
,(4 year old boy who had a record for
lIIisconduct at the Public Safety office.
"It's a condition of his probation that
he 's not supposed to be here," said
Slretch .
With the name of the juvenile in
ljlll:sLion, Stretch was able tomake a photo
IlItllltuge using a junior high school annual
belonging to the daughter of one of the
ufi'iccrs.
" We took that around to the people
who had seen the kids in the area and they
positively identified them," said Stretch.
"Then we had probable cause, at least to
go talk to him."
Public Safety officers went to the
boy's house accompanied by a Thurston
County Deputy.
UAt first he denied being on the
campus," Stretch said, "but then he started
revealing that they were actually there,
that the other boys had stolen and he was
just there, but since he was younger he
said he felt peer pressure not to leave."
According to Streteh, the youth
offered to show where the others lived. A
search warrant was granted and he showed
the officers which house contained the
loot.
"Five of the six kids we've been
able to identify," said Savage. "The sixth
one is allegedly a black kid out of the
Hilltop area of Tacoma and nobody really
knows his name. I don't believe that I
think they know his name, but if he's
definitely from the Hilltop area, I know
why they're not telling it: for retaliation."
Ironically, the theft took place just
two days after a crime prevention seminar
was put on in the A-donn Edge where the
only student present, according to Larry
Savage, was one student manager who
"stopped by to see how it was going."
The Campus Safety Office is
currently working to get the stolen items
retunled to their rightful owners. ''There
were three or four calls concerning one
very nice brass hookah," said Savage,
"nobody wanted to leave a name, address
or telephone number so that we could get
back to them."
Andrew Lyons is a staff writer for
the CPl.
What other policies will be effected
by the CRC change?
"As we ealled around to other
colleges they may have to re-think their
definition," said Cheatham. "Someone has
to be first, why ' not Evergreen? We are
first in a lot of other things."

Oh boy! What an exciting season it
lias b ~~n so far!
Sex! Violence! Deception! Vice!

ilollding! Lessons Learned!
I could never have guessed that this
)'l':lf would turn out so well! And we're
Ilul L:VGn Ihrough it yet. God I lov,e this
silow,
So
was looking over the
pr<.:diuiolls I made last June and I think
liIal I've done pretty well so far, all things
l' OilS id~red,
The first important prediction [ made
was Ihat Dylan and Brenda would break

lillliillg thGmselves in some transient affair.
Thi s came mostly true during the
Slllllllll'r scason when Brenda went to Paris

I hate Brenda - take that Dante!).
Since, when did David learn to sing?
Last year he was a former Nerd just
blossoming into a respectable Bev
character and now he thinks he's Vanilla
Ice. What the hell?
So let's finish this thing with a few
new predictions for the rest of the season,
shall we?
First and foremost is my prediction
that Kelly will develop an eating disorder.
They've been hinting at this for weeks so
keep those BevHead eyes open.
Brandon is going to suffer a series
of major gambling losses culminating in
him having to sell his 'Stang, stereo, skis
and even his body to payoff his atrocious
debts.
What about Brenda, you say? Well,
I believe that we will see her become
more of a strong, independent woman and
will continue to run with her new Seattle
Grunge Mama look.
David will suddenly develop a
conscience and bag his record deal; going
back to work with Steve, who will by this
time be starting to question his sexuality:
he'll start having fantasies about David.
I think that Andrea will develop a
relationship with Jordan which will end
when she realizes that his full-ride to Yale
is based solely on his race. Either that or
they will get it on.
My final prediction this week:
CHOKERS! MORE CHOKERS! WE
NEED MORE CHOKERS!
Watch TV, BevHeads. It's good for
you.

Take the Wrap combats deceptive code

As many of you know, Take the
Wrap is ' a grass roots campaign of
r<.:cyclers and consumers who are
prot~stillg the deceptive use of the well
knowli "chasing arrows" recycling symbol
ill the plastics industry's standardized resin
coLle which appears on the bottom of most
plastic wlllainers and packaging sold in
Ihc U.S.
Recycling programs and city
officials arc rcceiving the brunt of
widespread public confusion about plastic
cOlltainers that bear the recycling symbol
yct arell't fC(;yclablc in most communities.
In addilion, program operators are bearing
lhc (.:Ost of sorting non-recyclable
(ullmarkcwble) plastics from recyclable
Iypes.
Take the Wrap's goal is not to
dimillale lhc SPI (Society of the Plastics
Ilidustry) code itself, but simply to
dilllinatc Lhe use of thc recycling symbol
ill Ihe l'Od<.: .
To L:onvey the message to the SPI,
cilil.GIIS and recyclers have been mailing
lh~ir lIollfcL:yclable plastics to the SPI
hcadlJucU'lers in Washington, D.C. with the
III<.:ssagc "Recyclable? Where?" Initially,
SI'I dcnied to news media that they were
fcceiving allY "plastic mail" and refused to
, r~ l' ogJlizc the problems, with the code.
1II~
l<l'Cenlly, howevcr, they have grudgingly
begull to acknowledge its effect on
l' OIlSUIlICrs and have admitted to rcceiving
SOIllC "plasCic mail."
In olher words, the focus of the
plaslic industry has not bee II the
devdoplllclll of markets for their products.

I doubt you've heard of The Wicker
I hadn't either until a very kindly
and wise Rainy Day employee picked it

'fhe Wicker Man is the story of a

IIU olle has seen a certain little girl on the

SOIlI C time, When the detective arrives on
Ih<.: island, the people of Sommersby first
iIIsiSI she doesn ' t exist. When he gelS

The movie is chilling - not in the
typical horror sense of the word, but in the
sense that it makes you question every
il1C1/J ,
so silDple
Judeo-Christian ethic you were ever
brought up with.
The movie is filled with laughter and
tinged with fright. In one particularly
chilling scene, the detective and a grave
digger walk -through the graveyard. The
detective comments on a headstone, "Ruth
and Joseph, two good Christian names."
The grave digger replies, "You must
understand, they were very old."

TESC doesn't

I was shocked and disappointed to
rcall in '/'Iw Olympian this morning that
Evergreen was actually considering
st:lning up a competitive basketball
program . I was even more distreSsed when
I rl'ad some of the reasons listed, including
" lll lure more students," and to combat a
I\ll:al image of being seen as "weirdos."
It is my understanding that for some
lillle now, Evergreen has been turning
away good, prospective students for lack
of space and budget suppon, a .situation
lIotlikely to soon improve. It is tlard, then,
III understnnd why Evergreen would want
tll allnll:t students through basketball rather
lltan strong academics, which has been the
illstitution's strength in the past. If a
putential student' s decision to auend
Evergreen comes down to whether the
Collegl.! offers competitive basketball, that
sludent would be here for the wrong
reasons.
Moreover, given the financial
siluation of the College and of higher
cdul:ation generally, even $30,000 in
slarlup costs seem an unwise expenditure
when academic programs are suffering
from lack of sufficient funding . When
your auministration is asking faculty and
statl to prepare cuts of 10 percent and
greater, it is not a Lime to be expanding or
aduing 1I competitive sports program. This
also sends tile wrong message to the state
legislature and governor about the
Cullege's priorities and political judgment.
The estimate of $8,000 in sustaining funds
needed raises questions of whether this
indudes the salary costs of staff lime to
supervise, coach and·officiate the program ,
lhe loss of Evergreen community access to
lhe gym created by team practice sessions,
atlllLIansportation costs to get to games. In
the lInide in '{he Olympian. Les Wong is
quoted as speaking of "controls for socalled corruptness," which would require
further administrative expense, diverting
slall and faculty time from the primary
Illission of the institution. If we can afford
lhis extra administrative Lime to institute
and supervise a new competitive sports
progmm, pcrhaps the priority should be
instead be on reducing staff costs in those
ar\.!Us so we can expand academic
ellrollment.
Evergreen was not intended or
designed to have the sports programs of
uther institutions, and to see this proposal
being nomed suggests the College has
gotten ofr-track from its purpose and
mission. This is not the first time efforts
have been made to introduce mainstream
compelitive sports at Evergreen, nor, I
suspel:t, the last. But I urge you and the
Evergrecn community to turn back this ilI"llvised effort, to eschew this diversionary
pursuit of mainstream acceptability and
concentrate instead on
keeping
Evergreen's academic achievement its first
and foremost priority.
There may be some truth to Ron
Cheatham's opinion that Evergreen is
fighting an image problem, but not from
the perspective he offers in the article. If
there is an image of Evergreen that may
need changing, it is of a school unduly
influenced by people out of touch with the
alternative roots, the heritage of the
College's educational philosophy. The
challenge is not to make Evergreen look
or act like other colleges. It is to celebrate,
cherish, honor and protect the uniqueness
of Evergreen we should all be so proud of.

I, Timothy W. Brulm do state for the
re(;ord that it is my OPINION that racist,
ignorant, sexist, homophobic, men and
womcn of caucasian heritage, should be
cllucated of their hatred. This educational
prol:CSS could be executed in a violent way
or a l:alm way. I will not physically
assault any whites that I've described.
Iluwevcr, I will not necessarily feel any
umbrage to those men and women of color
wlIu feci that direct physical confrontation
is and should be employed.
The nyer that I passed out to people
(Do you hale ASIAN MEN?), does not
"dvoca1C violence towards Asian men, nor
ally other group. It is intended as a piece
u\ satire, and should be read as such.
'I'herc is no such group as BAM, WAR, or
1\'100. Nor should there ever be, (We
~"rcady have the OCA and Neo-Nazis). It
was not Illy intention to say that all rape
dwgl's and sexual harassment charges are
raise. But, I do reeognize the possibility
lhat SUIJlC of these are malicious and
d:lIl1agillg attacks. Whether these women
and I11l.!n who make these charges have a
k g"\ right to make these allegations is not
ill queslion . What I am opposing are LIES.
I also ACTIVELY oppose gaybashing,
r:leisJlI , scxism, and ignorance. I am also
willing to uppose these issues through
kg';11 al:tion, education , speeches, and art
(,\lId allY other legal way that I can think
uI).
.
If anyone is interested in a rational ,
c ivilized debate over the issue they can
reach me at x6033 or my home phone

,\rrillgton and Fezdak continue to
lic'sniiJc a lifestyle that, as a child, I could
only live vicariously through Johnny Quest
cartoons. But back to the Happy Squad.
Me: Didn't you guys do a sevenhour stretch on KAOS?
Fezdak: Yeah!
Arrington: Yeah, let's talk about
that. [They both grin proudly .] I heard a
progmmmer say they [KAOS] were going
off the air in a few minutes because the
person going on after him hadn't got there.
So I called them up and said, 'Hey, we're
licensed programmers, so why not let us
on and do the show?'
They speak of the night proudly, as
a step forward for a great and noble cause.
The unsuspecting programmer checked to
verify that they were licensed and then
turned over a slot of air time to the Happy
Squad that was supposed to shut down
around one or two a.m ...
Fezdak: We went until seven in the
morning. Twelve to seven, it was an
incredible show!
Arrington: A marathon!
Fezdak: An experience in high
energy, for seven hours, just keeping it up!
We had High School kids calling up all
over the place. They were calling one
another saying, 'listen to the ·radio.'
The show would go into KAOS
history. As proof to a diverse audience, a
truck driver called KAOS a few nights'
later on another show to say, "You got a
great show, but I have to tell you you're
only second to the Happy Squad, those
guys were up with me all seven hours of
the night."

DIAL M FOR MURDER in 3-D starts at
midnight tonight at the Capitol Theater.
The showing is presented by the Olympia
Film Society. Admission is $2.50 for
members, $3.50 for non-members.
Fezdak: Here's this guy, probably
40 years old, driving a truck all his life,
and he's a Happy Squad listener considers it the best thing on KAOS.
It is useless to ask about the future
of Happy Squad, since that would take
prior planning, but just for fun ...
Me: What do you have planned for
the future of Happy Squad?
With that question I was bombarded
with a bevy of possibly radio segments
covering subjects such as oil painting
lessons, home maintenance, cooking
shows, entomology, bee-keeping in Latin
America, glass blowing, (are you still
reading this?) and steamroller accident
prevention. All geared toward educating
the general pUblic.
Arrington: We'd like to open up the
airwaves, I mean, KAOS was started as an
educational station ...
Fezdak: Shoe repair! A lot of
people have damaged shoes and cobbling
can be done on the air with the right
sound effects.
[Also] Personal hygiene, fingernail
clippings, body cleansing, ways people
take showers. What do they do in there?
You never watch people take showers, we
can interview people.
Me: In the shower?
Fezdak: In the shower.
Arrington: You could have been
taking showers all your life and wonder,

Arrington: Every time I have a

Okay, I think you get the point.
.Arrington and FeZdak were on a roll that
could have lasted for days, and would
have to if a certain person, whom I'll call
"Conrad," happened by.
Fezdak: This is one of our hundred
members. How does it feel to be a
member of the Happy Squad?
Conrad was so excited about the
discovery of his membership that no one
[meaning my tape recorder] could make
out his exalting praises. Arrington handed
him several important document pertaining
to this and that Fezdak offered this
advice, "Whenever you think, do. And try
not to think, just do." Conrad walked off
in a daze, overwhelmed.
Me: Any thing you want to say in
closing?
Fezdak: Let it be known that the
Happy Squad can strike anywhere. When
we go on the air during a slot that's not
our own, we totally put on the impression
that we just walked in there. Perhaps that
is the reality of it That we can walk in

E\' crgrecn students and alumni who want
III participate in theater but are not
cnrulled in a theaLer program. ITOC
(lJ'(lvides a chance for students to become
illvulwd in all aspects of theater, from
Iigilling to directing to acting. No theater
background is necessary; only interest and
,:Olli lllitInent arc required .
Although the troupe works under Lhe
dircL: tioJl of Eve Hilgenberg, an Evergreen
alulIl, thc members decide upon the
matcrial to produce and participate in
Iliaking props and blocking scenes.
!TOC was formed by a group of
students in November, 1991, as a way to
provide acting opportunities for those not
involved in a performing arts program.
!TOC rehearsed during the winter of 1992
to perform Alan Ayckburn's play, Woman
ill Mind, at the CRC amphitheaLer in the
spring. The play was a success, and the

In 1992, ITOC received funding
from S&A to produce two shows. The
lroupe has becn rehearsing for the past
111'0
quarters for its upcoming
Ik' rformance.
ITOe will perform Rosencrantz and
Cui/dells/ern are Dead on Feb. 18, 19, and

Admission is free, but donations will be
gladly acccpted.
ITOe plans to perform again in the
, pring.
Hilgenberg, the troupe's director and
,JliC' or !TOC's founding members, said
IlI:ll shl' hopes ITOC will, "continue to be
a sU(;cess, because independent theater on
campus is not supported as well as it

If yuu would like to get involved in
a student-run Lheater group, please attend

Dale Crover, drumming away in his
tighty-reddies, stringy blond hair bouncing,
pounding, beating, was the only one left
on the stage at the end, soloing away in
true Craver fashion. Crover is the man
rc;sponsible for perhaps one of the longest
J'cwnled drum solos ("Bullhead"). A man
I\'spunsiblc for perhaps one of the longest
rC'c'llflkd drum solos ("Bullhead"). A man
alulle li'ilh his passion, the lights on him,
,lIlll hL' not l'aring, just drumming. Right
0 11.
The Lorax. Veah, weird, kick ass
bassisl. .. a sheath of black hair, black shirt
dilli shnrts and shoes, just a liule bit of
white of f"ce and ann and legs sticking
through. Doesn't move too much, do
IIluch, but seems to say, ''I'll just keep on
doing what I'm doing."
Stngedivers, ahh yes, those fido dido
Slick figures being tossed around like
GlIlllbys, legs and sneakers rising from the
heads of the pit to slowly arc back with
gravity in perfect rhythm with the slow
Illolasscsy feeling of the grinding process ...
Olll~ woman kept getting tossed back onto
Ihe sUlgc and being pushed back by the
st,lgc guarders. Over and over again, arms
h"lplcssly uplifted, showing that she had
110 control, spinning flipping turning,
g" tting shoved again, and again, and again,
rrom the stage, she got tossed back on
"gain and again and again by five scrawny
Uly youth who were bouncing and looking
members ...
The Melvins were around before Lhe
Seattle sound was; Lhey will be around
when it is gone. That's their ultimate
beauty. They are unique.
I can understand why some people
might not like their sound: heavy, droning,
long, intense, like a massive oil slick

oddly amused by the whole thing.
Ahh, yes, the stage guarders - an~ry
spirited youLh who want to wrestle With
those who would attempt to stagcdive or
who get tossed up on stage by Lhe pit
GOING-
KUNOJ\LiNi
killing off birds, poisonous, rotten, a lowflying Cessna overhead magnified ten
times in your ears, perfectly annoying. Or
like the waitresses at The Doghouse in
Seattle, doing what Lhey've been doing for
a long time and not planning on doing
anyLhing else, perfectly in your face rotting away in perfectly self-satisfied
reality and loving every minute of it.
There is a certain amount of life in these
things that goes unrecognized because it's
not aesthetically pleasing. Like a dentist
drilling and hitting that nerve perfectly,
letting you know that yes, indeed, you are
alive. The Melvins are alive. Wonderful.
Buzz, you are my idol. If I ever
learn to play the guitar and am in a band,
I could only ever attempt to attain a sliver
of your Godheadness. How does it feel to
be a hero'!
Leilani Johnson is an apex of style
and artistry in the CPJ office.
