Aid Bill, pass('d by Congress on July 8

embodies a series of provisions aimed aL
incr('asing the number of sludents eligible
for financial aid.
The bill stipulates thaL equilY in
homes ,md farms will no longer be
calculated into e1igibiliLY. It increases thc
famil y incomc ceiling for Pcll Grants to
$42 ,000 from $30,000. Rcgardless of
income, a new additional loan progmm
allows families to qualify for a
government student loan at 9 perccnt

broadens the access of middle-class
college students to federal grants and loans
for education.
These programs will go into effecL
during the 1993-1994 school year. In
addition, there is some speculation as to
the availabiliLY of funding for programs,
raising the possibiliLY that the government

Flu conquers
a Student Healtb Alert
The flu is here! A viral flu bug has
taken the campus by storm. Many
Evergreen students are sniffling and
aching and shivering as you read this.
Typically, the flu sufferer will notice:
severe muscle and joint aches all over,
fatigue, fevers below 102 degrees
Fahrenheit, sensItIve skin, nasal
congestion, a cough which is usually dry,
nausea, and lack of appetite. Most of these
symptoms will go away within a few days
but the cough may last for several weeks.
This is a virus! It needs to run its
course which is variable and runs from S
to 14 days. There is no cure. Antibiotics
will not help! But the good news is you
will get better. The Student Health Center
advises that you can use over the counter
medications to control the symptoms. Use
a decongestant, pain reliever and fever
control medication, and/or cough medicine.
Drink plenty of liquids, breathe steam
several times per day, and get plenty of
resL
There is no need to come to the
Health Center unless your fever has been
over 102.5 for more than 48 hours, you
are having difficulty breathing, you have
been vomiting or had diarrhea at least 6 to
8 times in the last 24 hours. and/or you
have severe abdominal pain.

National Girls and Women in Sport
Day is Thursday, Feb. 4. The Campus
Recreation Center will be celebrating
National Girls and Women in Sport Day
with a full week of activities. The day was
established seven years ago to call
auention to the positive influence of sport
participation and the past and present
achievements and struggles of all girls and
women in sports.
The theme for this year's celebration
is "Breaking Barriers." Barriers have
certainly been broken by countless girls
lind women in sport over the years.
However, all too often, girls and women
continue to encounter the same barriers in
the form of myths, misinformation,
misconceptions, societal beliefs and
standards that others have successfully
overcome in the past.
During the week of Feb. 1, a one
hour block of time will be set aside each
day in the Campus Recreation Center for
sports related activities open to women
only. The recreation staff hope that
interested women will come take
advantage of the opportunity to meet, be
aClive, and enjoy each others' company in
a supportive environment. Posters in the
Rec Center and on campus will advertise
Lhe various activities and when they are
offered.
Jan Smisek is the Evergreen
Recreation Coordinator.

Aid, from cover
already chaotic Financial Aid Deparunent.
With no alleviation in sight, what
can students do to increase their chances
of getting a fair share of the financial aid
pie?
Ryan Cox, a work-study student in
the Financial Aid Office, recommends
turning in paper work as soon as possible.
If something does go wrong with an
application, students have more time to
remedy the situation before those tuition
bills start piling up.
It is also important to check and
double check Financial Aid Forms for
errors: if there is mistake in the form it
will undoubtedly be sent back and students
will be faced with starting the entire
process anew. It is a safe bet that every
aid recipient can count on at least one
major financial aid glitch in the course of
a four-year education.
If students allocate ample time to
resolve problems before tuition bills start
piling-up, they may avoid being left trying
to decide whether or not to charge their
tuition to their Visa card.

The Student Health Center and the
Women's Health Clinic haven't always
been a combined unit on campus.
Evergreen's health clinic was opened
in 1971 and originally consisted of three
interconnected rooms on the first floor of
the ' library building. It moved to an
expanded location and began to provide
more services by fall of 1972. For about
five years it was based in the area which
is now admissions and used a large open
space partitioned into cubicles for
examining "rooms," a bed, and a sink. It
was a bare bones operation. Since privacy
was scarce, the center provided only minor
medical assistance.
It was that year which the Women's
Health Clinic began as a political
movement Janet Partlow, who now works
at the Health Center and attended
Evergreen '72-'76, remembers male
doctors treating women without telling the
patients what they were doing, giving
them the run-around to boot
That is why women of Evergreen
banded together to call for the formation
of a distinct women's health clinic, where
understanding women treated women. In
1973 a female practitioner opened a room

for women's health care down the hall
from the regular health clinic.
The move was made to create a
distinct separ.ttion from men and express
a bond of female solidarity on campus.
Though the two services stayed distinct
and separate for about three years, they
moved to the Health Center's current
location in '76- '77.
The present distinction of the
Women's Health Clinic comes with the
gynecological services offered. Among
three practitioners, two female and one
male, patients have a choice of their
practitioner's gender. If their practitioner's
gender does not matter, women performing
"Women's Health Clinic duties" can
provide check-ups, consultations and SID
examinations for men as well, and viceversa.
Also; the Health Center is proud to
announce that there have been more
female patients treated recently by the
Health Center than the Women's Health
Clinic ever treated.
And as far as changes in the Health
Center's policy concerning fees, the cost
will increase only if enrollment stays
about the same with a large increase in
appointments. But if there is an increase in
enrollment then the center will reflect the
change by hiring staff and maintaining the
minimal rates, says David Schoen, Health
Center practitioner and director.

Many people may be wondering why
the Evergreen Wellness Program is
sponsoring an event that involves aerobic
activity as part of a fundraiser to benefit
an academic scholarship. After all, isn ' t
wellness, much more than just physical
activity? It involves exploring and
engaging in behaviors that enhance the
mind and spirit. as well as the body, right?
And even the physical side of wellness
includes examining one's diet, maintaining
enough strength and flexibility to meet
daily needs without undue stress on the
body, and medical self-care.
So why focus on aerobic activity?
The reason lies in the fact that aerobic
, activity may be the single best thing a
person can do to enhance his or her
wellness. This is not to say it is, or should
be, the only thing. However, regular
aerobic activity done over a period of time
helps increase energy levels, reduce
feelings of depression, maintain one's
desirable weight, reduce muscular tension
and stress, and improve an individual's
overall sense of well-being.
It is also very versatile; it can be
done inside, outside, in the city, in the
mountains, with friends or alone. It aL<;()
requires very little expertiSe; any exercise
that elevates breathing and heart rate and
can be done for an extended period of
time qualifies. We feel it is the easiest frrst
step in adopting a weUness lifestyle.

Packaging has an image problem. It
is consistently portrayed as an environmental assault: a major part of the waste
stream, an unnecessary luxury in a wasteful society, and environmental problem
requiring immediate action. This bashing
goes on not only in the environmental
magazines, but also in general "consumer"
coverage in newspapers and on TV.
(Mostly, of course, plastic packaging is
targeted, based on the myth that will not
die: that "natural, biodegradable" materials
arc always better than plastic.) Further,
nefarious motivation is often ascribed to
the packaging industry itself; for example,

Must wheels rotate in sync?
THE
MATHEMATICAL
WITNESS_
•
by Rafael Marino
Aeons ago, before end-of-the-year
celebrations, toxic gases going through
complicated mechanical systems in
unpredictable and destructive directions,
wind storms and blackouts, I suggested a
problem to the reader.
Imagine two rotating wheels, one
going around; say, every- 4 seconds and
the other one every 6 seconds. Each wheel
has a notch engraved on its rim and
initially these two notches are each exactly
on top. When are the two notches going to
be again exactly on top, that is, the two
wheels again in the same position?
The problem does not seem very
t1irticult. The two wheels are going to be
exactly in the same initial position 12
seconds later. After the first wheel has
gone around 3 times and the second one
twice. And then they will be again in that
same position 24, 36, etc. seconds later.
Further, we could generalize saying

barbarians scurrying like ants to find the

Doritos ... while the meeker ones retreated
into the comers of the frozen food section,
watching neapolitan ice cream wither away
to nothing, while clinging desperately to
the mere pink birthday candle the nobility
had simply overlooked. Convinced that
studying was out of the question, I joined
the barbarians and picked up a few
commodities for the house. By habit I
almost grabbed a movie too, but that part
of the store was closed.
As the sun fell and the real dark

Other assumptions are made, too, in
environmental coverage of packaging; One
is that innovations promulgated by
environmentalists, such as the focus on
recycillbility, are always sound. Another is
that industry adoption of Ihose innovations
is proof that they were environmentally
correct. In other words, there is little
distinction made between packaging
changes that do indeed have a positive
environmental impact, and "image
enhancers" adopted due to consumer
demand - whether or not that demand is
misguided. Given the attention being paid
to packaging, such unquestioned assumptions may be dangerous. So we had better
step back and examine our packaging
assumptions (every sixth-grader knows
that assume makes an ASS of U and ME).

A wasteful luxury? Certainly,
offensive packaging exists. A lot of
packaging, however, is both necessary and
efficient, the results of years of
improvements. Packaging does fulfill
lIlany functions, most of them with as
great or greater an impact on public health
as environmental concerns have. For
example, packaging meat protects against
bacterial contaminations. Packaging at that
stage may have an overall greater
environmental impact than does efficiency
at the disposal end. Packaging also is
responsible for the remarkably low
spoilage (waste) rate of food in the U.S.

happens in an infmite number of ways;
there is an infmite number of different
quasiperiodic repetitions. Furthermore, the
discrepancies in time can be as small as
you wish.
For instance, after 141 seconds, the
discrepancy is only about 0.004 seconds.
And if you are patient enough, if you .wait
for 141,421 ,356 seconds (about 6 months),
the discrepancy is only 0.000000002
seconds. By the end of time the wheels
will practically be rotating in synchrony;
but the periods become, for all p(8Ctical
purposes, infinite.
There is another .aspect of the
situation that is equally intriguing. If we
disturb our quasiperiodic wheels in a very
small way - for instance by changing the
period of the second wheel from .[2
seconds to, say, 1.41 seconds - the system
becomes perfectly periodic. Reciprocally,
a periodic system can become
quasiperiodic
with a very small
disturbance.
But we will never know if a system
is periodic or quasiperiodic. There is no
way to be certain that the period of a
rotating wheel is .[2 seconds rather than
1.41 seconds.

many a reference to things White Bread.
For this obvious oversight on your part I
salute you .
Wait, did I mean that?
Unimportant at this juncture says my
colleague.
The truly important thing to consider
here is the apparent lack of creamy filling

it was most definitely wanting a lard-laden

Yes, that is .what is most important
in these new and delightfully frightening
Nineties, filler. Not just any filler, but
quality filler. You, Sirs, with all of your

altogether.
Shame? No, thank you. I think not
today. Let this serve as fair warning to
you, you most distinguished gentlemen,
that White Bread is not to be taken lightly
as one would any other delicious breakfast

cultivated into a full, mature culture ["you

higher beings using Elvis' brain.
Filler is what makes our society G-rr-reat! Please, let's not deny ourselves this
truth.
With less sophisticated packaging and
distributions systems, many parts of the
world still have a serious problem with
food safety, supply, and spoilage.
An environmental problem? This is
the place to consider the difference
between a garbage problem and an
environmental problem. How much
packaging is in the waste stream? Is it
"biodegradable?" Is it recyclable, or made
with recycled content to lessen the strain
on landftlls? Those are all garbage
questions.
To gauge true environmental impact,
shouldn't we consider the manufacturing
(use of resources) and transportation (use
of energy) stages as well? It is an important distinction because most of the legislative mandates would seek to affect the
disposal aspects of the issue and does not
consider the overall environmental impact.
Before ~e do something expen-sive, let's
look at the overall picture. And let us
consider that regulation may be part of the
answer but let us also keep in mind the
first law of economics: there is only one
source of money - consumers.

Graffiti violates
due process
Letter to the Cooper Point Journal Editor:
Acquaintance rape is a serious
problem on all college campuses,
including our campus. Rigorous steps must
be taken to eliminate this violation of
human rights. These steps should include
prompt investigation and adjudication of
complaints, encouragement of assertive
co mmunication, and continued
confrontation of sexism.
In our desire to eliminate rape, we
should not, however, engage in actions
which violate other human rights.
Individuals who are charged with
violations have a right to due process and,
whether or not they are guilty, they should
not be subjected to harassment. The rights
of one person are not served by violating
the rights of another.
Recent occurrences on campus have
shown that acquaintance rape, harassmenl,
and denial of due process rights all have
serious implications for members of the
Evergreen community. On Dec. 7, a report
of acquaintance rape was filed through the
Public Safety Office. It is being
adjudicated through the Studenl Conduct
Code Grievance and Appeals Process.
Recently, the name of the alleged
perpetrator of the rape has been spray
painted on locations across campus and
graffiti have been written on the door of
the accused.
In the current case, we encourage a
prompt and fair investigation of the
charges of rape and sensitivity to the
needs of the individual who has made
these charges. We also support the need
for an investigation of the campus
vandalism and harassment of the alleged
perpetrator which occurred in the
aftermath of the reported rape. We ask any
individuals who have engaged in these acts
to discontinue doing so, and we ask that
they come forward to take responsibility
for their actions. We also support
continuing and vigorous discussion of
these issues on campus and a renewed
commitment to a community free of all
forms of exploitation.
Sincerely,

Innocent until
proven guilty
Whatever happened to that old adage
upon which our country's judicial system
was founded, "Innocent until proven
guilty?" It would appear some members of
the Evergreen community have forgotten
about this concept.
Case in point: the graffiti found
recently sprawled across campus in
women's restrooms and on building walls
alleges specific members of the Evergreen
community are sexual harassers and
rapists. This graffiti declares that a certain
community member is a rapist and states
that the alleged rapist rapes. (Makes sense,
huh?). Graffiti scrawled in the women's
bathroom in the library last quarter named
two community members as sexual
harassers and declared, "We know who
you are! "
If indeed these accusations are
accurate, then why do the people making
them not go through Evergreen's internal
judication system to seek justice, or
through an external prosecution process, if
they so desire? Why make accusatory
statements in women's bathrooms when
the alleged perpetrators could be brought
to justice through the court system? This
kind of accusation blacklists and
potentially ostracizes the accused; indeed,
this would appear to be the goal of the
authors of the graffiti.
Does anyone remember Hollywood
in the 1950s? The careers of many perhaps
innocent actors, directors, and other
entertainers were ruined when the
Government accused them of Communist
loyalties. The alleged Communists were
fired from their acting and directing
positions and forced to testify against their
fellow entertainers.
The basic principle underlying both
this historical and the Evergreen incidents
is the same: social alienation of the
accused. Only, here, it is not the accused
Communists who are singled out for
ostracization. Rather, it is the alleged
sexual harassers and rapists who must
answer to the community.
Need I remind you, the alleged rapist
has not been proven guilty; the
Department of Public Safety is currently
working with other campus departments to
investigate the allegation. In addition, both
Gary Russell, Chief of Public Safety, and
Jeannie Chandler, Director of Housing, are
quoted in the Jan. 14 article of the CPl as
calling the woman involved in the
allegations a victim. Since the accused has
not been proven guilty, the woman cannot
be a victim of criminal activity. It would
appear that the judgment has already been
made, at least in the eyes of Russell and
Chandler, as well as in those of the graffiti
scrawlers. I would hope their views do not
translate to a judgment on the part of the
Evergreen community as a whole.
Let the internal investigation take its
due course, and, if the alleged rapist is
found guilty, then, whatever punitive
measures deemed appropriate should be
taken. But let us not let our anger and our
desire to point the finger at someone
overwhelm our search for justice.

causes the use of dangerous chemicals is
the institutional bias against this form of
expression -look, as far as I'm concerned,
scrubbing graffiti off walls is a waste of
time and a blow against free expression.
Public buildings are public. I feel that they
should serve as public forums as well, for
art, messages, chicken scrawl, or whatever
else people decide to put on the walls.
Why not? What's so attractive about this
bleak concrete campus and its metal
bathroom stalls that we have to remove
the most spontaneous form of anonymous
communication we have with noxious
chemicals? Does this campus look any
better without graffiti? I sure as hell don't
think so. End all censorship of public
forums!!

Rude imagery of
Native peoples
I would like to address a subject that
came about in your Dec. 3 issue. Robert
Cook challenged me to think about
perspective and language. He seemed
upset that I was so concerned about a
degrading cartoon printed in an earlier
issue (I won't bore you with the details,
go do your own research) that he asked
why I didn't address other issues with as
much force. Well, Mr. Cook as long as
people allow the rude and stereotypical
imagery of Native peoples to. continue
there will always be a need for it to be
challenged. Quite frankly, I do not see a
lot of non-Native people rallying to our
cause. When was the last time that you
had to explain to a Native child the reason
that drunk white man was dressed as an
Indian waving a styrofoam tomahawk? Or
why over 300 people were murdered by
the u.s. government simply because of
their "religion" (Wounded Knee 1890)?
How about the burning of Tiano and Carib
people by columbus in numbers of twelve
(in honor of the twelve apostles), simply
because there was no gold to be found?
These are all aspects of our people's
history that we cannot forget and whose
stories have been relegated to sports

Depression at The AdolescentStat~ . College
by Ryan Hollander
Last quarter · absolutely sucked.
Academically, socially, romantically,
residentially, physically, · musically and
above all, psychologically. My frail
consolation for existerice rested on the
hope that somehow every other sophomore
in the country was also laying on their
bedroom floor and staring up at. the ceiling
going insane. I wanted to know that I
shared an unspoken comradery with the
collegiate masses in their second year,
who one day discovered that white padded
walls had formed in their mind. Walls
upon which · their thoughts would thrash
against endlessly for many months,
looking for the now elusive way to
happiness. Change apartments? Change
classes? Change lovers? Change
consciousnesses? Maybe even change
schools?
God, I said, what if I really don't
belong at Evergreen? Maybe my surreal
freshman path of discovery has ended
right here in N-308e, and it is time to
move on. I made a quick mental list of the
other colleges that I would consider
transferring to, but as quickly, a cold surge
of fear ran through my body. How could
I ever leave Evergreen? I w.ondered
frantically if that was really the chang~. I
wanted, and more importantly, how I
would ever deal with grades again.
WH~T
NEXT?!..
leams, automobiles,
weapons of
destruction, saturday afternoon movies,
and yes, even degrading cartoon images by
college students.
Now, I didn't forget about your
challenge and would like to respond to a
letter written by Herb Legg (Jan. 14). In
his letter, he gives Evergreen faculty a
" D" in citizenship in the "classic greek
sense." I would argue that his notion is not
only disrespectful but mono-cultural in
perspective. How can we forget the names
of Mary Ellen Hillaire, Maxine Mimms,
Lloyd Colfax, Carol Minugh, David
Whitener. These are people who are and
have been faculty at Evergreen. All have
given many times over to Evergreen and
their respective communities. The Tacoma
Campus, Native American Studies
Program, the community based program
that began at Quinault, and has branched
out to many Native communities, the fact
that this college sits on Native land, are all
aspects of citizenship. There are many
more names and experiences, these are but
a few examples.
One more thought, do you know that
the Handy Pantry mini mart is the only
convenience store on the west side of
Olympia that does not sell pornography.
To all men: pornography is a male
dominated industry that targets many of
our sisters as "things" to be objectified,
abused, . and even murdered. We can
challenge this and demand that these
stores stop selling pornography (one of
these stores advertises in this publication).
Just a thought. Thanks Mr. Cook for your
challenging words.

Hello, CPJ readers. I am the woman
that Edward Dove has been abusing lately
in his strip, Samizdal.
I dated Edward Dove briefly and
terminated the relationship after his
blaming me for his depression ami other
problems became too much for me to
handle emotionally. Since that occurred,
he has used his medium, the Comics page,
to humiliate me and otherwise make me
feci bad. His first attempt at this was when
he used an actual conversation as subject
matter. I gave consent for him to use the
conversation but not for him to draw me.
In this strip, he claims that I have no sense
of humor. I asked him not to draw me
again without my consent and he agreed
he would not. In his most recent strip, he
draws me again and makes himself an
altruistic, all-loving, all-giving character
who is being used and abuscU by a
fictional me. I am left to wonder if I am
not the only person who feels that the
Comics page is not the place to air
personal
frustrations over ended
relationships.

So I stayed. Maybe out of fear of
change, maybe out of fear of starting over,
but I think mostly because of the same
fear I had as a senior in high school,
looking at my options for college and life
(which my guidance counselor told me
were inextricably combined.) Everybody
said think ahead, plan now, make sure you
make money, decide your course, pick
your profession and go to a reputable
school that will make you good at it. My
worst fear about college was that I would
go and be trained from day one in
something that I thought sounded neat or
would get me money later, and by the
time I graduate it would be too late to
learn what I really liked, and I would have
to get a job doing something I hated, and
in my corporate loneliness I would of
course find a mate, and for lack of better
things to do we would get married, and
then out of boredom and tradition we
would have children and then I would be
really unhappy and start drinking a lot
with my bowling buddies at the bar and
then figure I was unhappy because of my
marriage and get a divorce and at age 50
I would go insane when I realized my
whole life was wasted. All of it wasted
because I wasn't given time to find out
what my passion was, because I was
forced to grow up too soon.
One of my classmates made a joke
Romani stereotypes
unlike stark reality
•
by Karen Rosenthal and Leslie Riibe
On Monday, Feb. I, at TESC from
7 to 9 p.m., J. Morgan Ahern and Toby
Sonneman of the Romani-Jewish Alliance
will be speaking. The Romani-Jewish
Alliance is dedicated to action and
education to combat discrimination and
human rights abuses ' world wide. The
Romani-Jewish Alliance promotes cultural
understanding and exchange between
Roma and Jews. The talk will focus
mainly on dispelling myths about people
of Romani descent, and exploring their
largely unknown history.
Gypsies, more properly called Roma,
arc a racially and ethnically defined
people. They are the descendants of the
Rajputs who migrated from India 1000
years ago, reaching Europe somewhere in
the thirteenth century. Because laws
barring Roma from settling have existed
for centuries, the Romani people have
adopted jobs they can do while on the
move - meullworking, fortune tclling, etc.
This forced movement has been perceived
by non-Roma as merely a lifestyle choice,
and has helped create the myth of the
Gypsy as a "romantic, happy-go-lucky
wanderer." The media's portrayal of Roma
has fictionalized them, and bears little
relation to the stark reality of their lives,
and the problems they face.
Another stereotype of Roma is that
they are all criminals and thieves. Last
year, for example, a series of articles
blanketed the CP1 describing the
kidnapping of small plastic man by
"Possessed Gypsies." Although these
articles were intended as a joke, they only
reinforced dangerous stereotypes of the
Romani people. It is because Roma are
generally not permiued to do business with
shopkeepers that some have come to rely
on subsistence theft. However, when
allowed to make a living for themselves,
they have a rate of theft no higher than
that of the general population. The slang
word "gyp" is derived from this
stereotype, and is therefore a racist term
that should be discarded.
The lecture will provide a much
o
deeper understanding of the historical and
prcsent day issues for Roma. The speakers
understand that most of us have little
information concerning Romani issues, so
there will be a generous amount of time
set aside for questions.
This lecture is sponsored by the
Jewish Cultural Center of TESC. It will be
located in LH3. Call 866-6000 x6493 for
more information.
This is a small portion of the
chronology from The Gypsies of Eastern
Europe:
1416 - First anti-Gypsy law issue in
Germany. 48 such laws are passed
between this date and 1774.
1514 - Switzerland encourages "Gypsy
hunts" among its citizens to rid country of
Gypsies.
1710 - Prussia - All male Gypsies
condemned to forced labor, women
whipped, branded, children to be placed
with white families.
1926 - Switzerland - Ideas of "racial
hygiene" are used to justify a program of
forced removal of Gypsy children from
their families for placement in foster
homes. This remains in effect until the
mid-1980s.
1933-1945 - Nazi era. Gypsies encamped.
Nazi genocidal policies instituted. About
75% of entire Gypsy population is
murdered.
1968 - England - A report is issued that
states that "there is no solution to the
Gypsy problem short of mass murder."
1990 - Hungary - Bus drivers now alert
their passengers over the public address
system whenever Gypsies board their
vehicles. A British Councillor states that
she wants to see, "the filthy, dirty Gypsies
recycled and dumped in the sea,"
following a similar comment by the Mayor
of Danford in Kent that Gypsies be
"pushed over the White Cliffs of Dover."
Karen Rosenthal is the cocoordinator of the Jewish Cultural Center

concerning Easlern Europe.
THIS NEWSPAPER IS PRINTED ON
RECYCLED PAPER
the other day while discussing youth and
confusion, calling our institution The
Adolescent State College. And I smiled
because that explained so much to me.
Adolescence is the time where one fmds
the stable yet virile balance between self
and society, the inner peace where one's
abilities and urges have united with
society'S demands and bounties. I can now
revel in the epiphany that of course people
go a little insane here, we have been given
the time in which to endure our mid-life
crises ahead of America's schedule. We
get happy. We get depressed. All of it
unexplainable, all of it seemingly
meaningless. I really worry though,
because some of my friends are really
hating life right now.
It's dangerous to give people time to
think about themselves and society,
because it is a process ripe with conflict,
angst, pain. and frustration - but it also
holds the eventual Oz of happiness and
excellence. Evergreen is the institutional
incubator that allows us the rare period .o f
time to experiment with and discover what ·
place we want to occupy in the outside
world, and it then gives us the resources to
train ' ourselves to excel in that niche. Let
the inhabitants of the world of mediocrity
scorn or laugh at us whilst they bask in
the fleeting warmth of conformity. I will
live on, embracing the confusion and pain
entrenched in my youthfulness, all the
while exuding great pride that I have
chosen this magical place, The Evergreen
State College, in which to spend my years
of temporary insanity.

Evergreen spells success
I>y Seth Williams
I came to Evergreen to experience
an education with no comparison. This
school's reputation of being radical and
"ahead of its time" intrigued me. Rather
than the training, babysitting, and
normalizing functions that most colleges
provide for society, Evergreen promises to
be a place' where people can actually learn.
The catalogue paints a rosy picture of an
orderly, alternative education of excellent
quality. Fall quarter was a process of
"coming-down" to reality. This haven of
diverse, intelligent, and often inspired
participants is not all it's made up to be,
not to mention what it could be. This is
not blatant TESC-bashing; this is a call to
the "Evergreen community" to get off its
collective butt and start using this unique
institution to its fullest potential!
Evergreen was founded as an
educational experiment with fewer rules
than wide-open questions. Such queries as,
"how do students learn best" and, "what
do students want to study" were
considered among the most important
guidelines. It is this open-endedness and
lack of academic structure that has
allowed Evergreen the ' flexibility to
provide innovative learning that is relevant
to our world's changing needs. Now, it
seems that certain structures and forms of
teaching are becoming stuck in the
academic mud of our institution. Students
arc pressured · to follow an educational
pathway that is comparable to those of
conventional colleges. While such a model
may be more flexible than most, it implies
that students have relatively predictable
levels of learning and interest. As those
who have suffered through core programs
and other highly-structured or standardized
courses will attest to, this is not always the
case. When these programs become
institutionalized,
they eliminate
possibilities of more creative, student·
centered learning. The high level of
attrition at Evergreen is an indicator that
students arc not learning how and what
they want to.
Why isn't the school's curriculum
designed to meet students' needs? For this
to happen, the student body must involve
itself in assessing and critiquing the
workings of TESC, and help guide the
decision-making process at all levels. One
such avenue for shaping Evergreen's
future that is dominated by faculty and
administrative members is the "assessment
group" that meets on Wednesday
afternoons. This same time is supposed to
be used by students for Governance. which
is almost nonexistent on campus. In order
to influence the positive transformation of
TESC, we need to work together as
students to find out how we can learn
effectively and what we will study.
It is time to open a constructive
communication between individuals and
form interest groups that can speak to their
needs. One example of an area that needs
more auention is the study of sustainable
agriculture and communities. Interest in
this subject, along with that of practice at
the Organic Farm, is tremendous, yet our
school delegates very little curriculum to
this field. The beautiful forest and Eld
Inlet watershed is another resource that we
take for granted. This miniature ecosystem
could be invaluable in teaching us how to
better care for and live in harmony with
our surroundings. There are so many
opportunities for real education here that
are all but ignored. Only when we
organize and make our priorities known
will this college see its potential.
In this day of a sick society that
continually destroys its own life-support
system, this potential is great. Evergreen,
because of its unusual approach, has the
chance to spark profound social and
cultural evolution. The challenge is to
wake this sleepy liule campus from its
slumber and encourage a dynamic learning
atmosphere that can synergize its diverse
elements. Let's quit squabbling and get on
with it!

Evergreen Community.
Clinton: new boss is
same as the old boss
by G,W. Galbreath
As the "dawn of a new era" looms
overhead, I take this time to ponder on
issues that this new dawn has somehow
forgotten about. This new fellow Clinton,
radiates with exuberance as he speaks of
the "face of america" populating his
administration. How typical that his
language is void of the Native perspective.
At oile point Clinton even attempted to
show his respect to the four major food
groups (NATIVE, LATINO, ASIAN,
AFRICAN AMERICAN), yet somehow
the words Native American or even
Indian, never passed his lips. Can we as
Native people forgive this "oversight"?
Well, many of my friends did, but I saw
this lflCloem as UI~ continuation of an
abusive cycle that began when George
Washington (the father of your country)
referred to Native peoples as "savages".
Now amerikkka has a cabinet that looks
like the "face of america", yet where are
the Native nominees? Not one ... nOl even a
Harvard graduated, park avenue living,
wall street working, weekend pow wow
participant that left the reservation for a
life in amerikkka. Not one. Can we afford
to forgive this? New boss same as the old
boss.
To all of my relations.

matures, Mingus' music manifests

, by Sara Steffens
The truth is, Natalie Merchant is
, something like a hero to me. 1. aomire the
tremendous power of her voice, her joyful
·dancing, and the compassionate poetry of
her music. I even like the way she bitches
at reporters. Truly, Merchant is a woman '
who possesses uncommon clarity.
The music of 10,000 Maniacs has
always been a place of solace in th e midst
of confusion. The new album is no
different.
10,000 Maniacs as they appeared in
the early '80s. photo courtesy of Elektra.
Moving away from the political
fervor displayed in Blind Man's Zoo , Our
Time in Eden emphasizes an adult return
to innocence. The lyrics reveal a
fascination with the metamorphic qualities
of time and memory. On several tracks,
Merchant sings with a brazen contentment.
On the whole, the songs are gentler
than those on the Maniac' s previous
albums. "How You've Grown" embraces
the same clement childlike vision of
"Verdi Cries," from In My Tribe. Despite
its use to promote the drivelling inanity of
Class 0/,96, ''These Are Days" is remains
a delight in its original context.

Gas Huffer.
Back in the dark and dank days of
'89, guitarist Tom Price, fresh from the
menacing passages and unfamiliar noise.
Produced by Hal Willner (creator of
Stay Awake), the album is a tribute to jazz
composer Charles Mingus. During his life
(1922-1979), Mingus was revered for his
virtuousity on the acoustic bass, but
virtually ignored as a composer. The
recordings on Weird Nightmare are
designed to capture the experimental spirit
of his music. These songs serve as a great
introduction to his music for an untrained
car (such as my own).
The eerie strains of the music are
mixed with readings from Beneath the
Underdog, Mingus's autobiography. The
relentless innovation of the music is
matched only by the enigmatic grace of
his words.
break up of the legendary U-me n, Matt
Wright (vocals and sideburns), Joe N~wton
(drum skin abuse), and Don Blackstone
(cable strung board - aka - bass) , decided
to form a band - they've been together
every since.
Now, I know what you're thinking:
" why should I spend my hard earned four
bucks to see tnese guys?" Well, let me tell
you: because ' they ' re the only true punk
rockers left in Seattle. And how do I know
this'! Because I was immersed in the
"Seallie scene" when most of you were
hullying your peers in grade--school.

Punk breaks with oodles ·of feedback
that made this whole film so unsatisfying
was the lack of anything cohesive to bind
all these images together. The Year Punk
Broke felt like a wide selection of random
images all edited together, as if it were
just one long continuous home movie.
We see the bands at what appear to
be carnivals and fairs, but we are never
told about them, so we' re left in the dark.
The bands are never really interviewed.
The live performances were okay, but the
acoustics were awful, reducing the bands
to screeches and feedback (and if you like
feedback, you'll love this movie).
In fact , I'd venture to say that at
least half of this movie was merely
Thurston Moore, as some woman on the
bus so expertly put it, "Masturbating his
own wit and you just knew he'd be doing
it even if the camera weren't there." And
I'll tell you it doesn't take long before the
random thoughts spewing out his mouth
1991: THE YEAR PUNK BROKE
DIRECTED BY DAVID MARKEY
OLYMPIA FILM SOCIETY
by Cameron Rose
Friday, Jan. 22 at midnight. the
Olympia Film Society showed the David
Geffen produced film 1991,' The Year
Punk Broke.
The basic premise for this film is
very simple. Over the course of two
months, a camera followed Sonic Youth,
Nirvana, Dinosaur Jr. and some other
bands around Germany, recording their
every move.
The film opens with lead singer of
Sonic Youth frontman Thurston Moore
reciting a strange poem while Kim Gordon
and Kurt Cobain dance on some train
tracks.
I said the film is simple; it is very
simple, in fact too simple. The one thing

early scene where David Grohl speaks
directly to the camera and explains how he
is going to eat all the fruit, cheese and
soda, "but will share the wine" (you had
to be there).
.
It was an interesting effort, but The
Year Punk Broke just felt like nothing.

arc totally irritating (even if you don't
mind all the distortion coming from the
microphone) .
The only time this movie really
connected with the audience was in an
'you might want to check out The Tall
. Guy, starring Jeff Goldblum and Emma
Thompson. The Tall Guy is a utterly
hysterical and completely original love
story, with some genuine moments of plot
twist. Emma Thompson is fabulously
feminist and Jeff Goldblum is great as an
actor who lands the lead role in Elephant!,
a musical version of The Elephant Man.
It's just plain great. The Tall Guy is
available at.Top-Foods video.

Besides the name, there's a lot to
like about S&L. Chris opens with a short
essay decrying the conflict s/he's feeling
about living in New York (to be near the
action) but hating everything else that
comes with city living. Punk zine and
record reviews fill up a page or so with
show photos sprinkled throughout. The
center two pages are filled with free
classified ads that serve to cross-pollinate
various creative efforts. Some of the more
interesting ads in this issue come from
REPUSTA UNICA (a Columbian political
group) and from some Slovaks soliciting
donations they need to start a music club
in what used to be Czechoslovakill.. Fun
Poesjlesh is some photocopied
strdIlgeness alright. Besides the poetry
(mostly good) there's a free 8 1/2 x 14
inch poster (demons & skulls) and an
interview with Richard Collins. I've
corresponded with Richard before but
apparently never got a feel for just how
unique he is. Aside from the talk about
Andrei Codrescu and other current writers,
we hear about his dissertation on
hermaphrodites and the ghost inside of his
ouija board. Richard is off on a Fulbright
to lecture in Romania so future issues of
Poesflesh will undoubtedly have more
strange tales from his life. You get
Poesflesh when you join the Association
of Developing Artists, Writers and
Alternative Publishers. A worthwhile effort
even without the newsletter.

This is the 'official ' newsletter for
the infamous band of the same name.
Funky stuff with a lot of humor. There's
some news about their latest album,trouble
getting played on MTV and the obligatory
set of tour dates. The inside has fan
letters, comics and some weirdness
involving Jello Biafra, uranium and Joe
Jack Talcum. Who knows? Drop them a
line if their music moves you.

activists in Czechoslovakia about the
