Peltier case prompts forum
by Brian Almquist and Sharon Romeo
"Free Peltier!" demanded the fliers
that advertised the activities of Nov. 10
that were sponsored by The Evergreen
Indian Center and The Evergreen Peace
Center.
Leonard Peltier is a Native American
who has been jailed for ,the last sixteen
years for the murder of two Federal
Bureau of Investigation agents during a
firefight at the Pine Ridge Reservation in
South Dakota.
Native American activists have long
argued that the case against Peltier has
always been on shaky ground. His story
has gotten increased publicity over the last
year due partially to two recent movies
based on the incidem and an appeal being
argued in the courts right now to reopen
his case.
The Free Peltier Day activities were
di vided imo two parts. The first part
occurred in the Library Lobby at noon,
and consisted of several speakers. After
introductions were made, Gary Wessels
Galbreath, coordinator of First People's
Advising, gave a recounting of the events
leading up to the deaths at Pine Ridge. He
made sure to emphasize that the two FBI
agents were "casualties of war," while a
Native American who also died in the
firefight was "murdered."
The next speaker was Tiokasin
Veaux, a Native American student at
Evergreen who had been on the Pine
Ridge Reservation during some of the
conflicts between the American Indian
Movement supporters and the authorities.
He gave a heartfelt speech about "Christ,
Columbus, Costner, and Custer," urging
people to "bring us into the Twentieth
Century." He described how Native
Americans were often not allowed to
practice their religion.
Sunera Thobani, a facufty member,
announced Rigoberto Menchu's declared
support for Peltier, and a statement from
the TESC branch of A~nesty International
was read. The noon rally was fi~ished
with an update on; Peltier's appeal given
by Juan Bocanegra, a member of the
Survival of American Indian Association.
Later, at 7 p.m., in LH3, the evening
presentation began with two honor songs
by the Eagle Speaker drum group. In these
songs five men played the drums while
chanting; the first song was a Eagle Staff

song, and the second song was a victory
song for Peltier to give him strength.
After the drumming, a Micmac man
from the audience walked to the front of
the lecture hall to say a prayer. Then
Bocanegra stood to speak about Peltier's
case. He explained that the prosecuting
attorney for the case had admitted that
there is not enough evidence to prove that
Peltier committed the crimes that he is
serving time for. Bocanegra then urged
concerned people to send letters in support
of Peltier to the federal judge presiding
over the case, Governor-elect Mike Lowry,
or to Senator-elect Patty Murray.
After Bocanegra finished speaking
the two films were shown: 500 Years of
Resistance, and Incident at Oglala.
Between the movies, LeRoy Mills, the
chairman of Survival of American Indian
Association, spoke on Peltier's case and
other issues concerning Native Americans.

No motive has been found in an
assault and strong-arm robbery of a
student that occurred in the late evening
hours of Tuesday, Nov. 5.
According to victim Blair Hartley
and Campus Safety, the assault took place
on the path between the CRC and A-dorm.
"I was walking along the path next
to A-dorm, and I noticed someone running
behind me," Hartley said, "and I didn't
think any thing of it."
Then, according to Hartley, as he
turned to look, a man grabbed him and
struck him in the face while another man
pushed him from behind.
- Hartley said he was then spun
around, saw his attackers, and according to
Hartley, "that was the moment that I
realized it wasn't [Evergreen] students,
and I started to scream as hard as I
could."
The Assault continued when,
according to Hartley, three other men
materialized (two reportedly from the
outlying trees and one from the vicinity of
A-dorm).
Hartley said these thrce did not join
in the assault.
After repealed blows (10 to 12), and
Hartley's attempt to defend himself with
his book bag, Hartley managed to escape
and run to the. A-dorm lobby, still
screaming, and, dropping his book bag in
the process.
The book bag was then taken hesitantly - by one of the attackers and the
group then proceeded to flee.
According to Safety, an eighth floor
resident of A-dorm, after witnessing the
assault, phoned in the incident
This, according to Safety, was the
only report of the incident called in.
According to Hartley, he ran in to
A-dorm, his face bloody, and was greeted
with a stunned and/or unresponsive crowd
in the lobby.
Campus Safety Officers arrived
moments later, followed later by Deputies
of the Thurston County Sheriffs
Department.
Hartley's bag was turned in to lost
and found a day later, with none of it's
contents missing.
The suspects are described as one
white male with blond hair and four black
males, 16 to 19 years of age, and all
wearing black starter (sports team) jackets.
According to witness reports filed
later, the suspects were seen earlier in the
evening parked at the library loop shouting
insults at passers by from a black mid '70s
Ford Bronco with no top.
Sergeant Larry Savage of Campus
Safety could give no motive for the
assault, but stated that the campus is a
victim of crimes by individuals - in
varying degrees - from outside the
community "on at least an average of a
dozen a year" (this is disregarding various
car brake-ins that are suspected to be
outside related).
Hartley suspects that the only motive
for the attack was random, that he was
alone on the path, and that the suspects
were out "Greener bashing."
"It's just that it's kinda like
something that did happen - and it's going
to happen - and thankfully I wasn't hurt
too badly," Hartley said, "[but] I'm just
infuriated with the campus and the student
body for not having responded because
that makes me that much less safe."
Hartley also said that he hopes this
incident will be a catalyst in making the
community more aware of safety on this
campus.
Savage said if anyone witnesses a
suspicious circumstance "even if it seems
like a joke, report it to us ... because we
would rather investigate a false alarm, then
investigate a real incident that no one
bothered to report."

Editor of the CPJ.
Women's Center leaders talk issues
by Nate Waddoups
The coordinators of Evergreen's
Women's Center sum up the Center's role
as providing "about one half educating,
and one half supportive, empowering, fun
events."
Co-coordinator Lauren Towne says
that one of the main goals is "to provide a
supportive atmosphere for women."
Two events are scheduled for the
near future, according to the coordinators.
There will be a candlelight vigil and
potluck Friday November 13th.-Ihe-date is
important, said co-coordinator Amanda
Ray, because women are constantly being
victimized in movies like Friday the J3th,
but "this Friday the 13th is OURS."
"We're starting with a candlelight
vigil on Red Square," and will march to
the Organic Farm, where "we'll have a
women's potluck," said Ray.
This march will focus on the safety
of the , Organic Farm trail, and the
coordinators hope to hold a similar event
on the beach trail in Spring, "when the
weather is better."
In addition, Evelyn White, editor of
The I!lack Women's Health Book:
Speaking for Ourselves, will be appearing
in LH3 from noon to 1:30 p.m. on
December 2nd, courtesy of the Women's
Center and the South Sound Feminist
lecture series.
The Women's Center is trying to
change it's image in order to better fulfill
it's mission, said the coordinators.
Towne said that the Center was
trying to get rid of it's image as a center
just for radical feminists.
The popular fear of the word
"feminist" is also a problem for the
Women's Center.
"There are many feminisms ... women
represent themselves as feminists in many
ways," said Ray.
Towne added that "In society there
has been a movement - a backlash against women. Feminists in general
challenge a large part of the dominant
culture. Part of this backlash has been the
media, educators, and others 'reacting' and
trying to portray feminists as alien
invaders. It is really discouraging to be in
a seminar and hear women say, 'Don't get
me wrong, I'm not a feminisL'"
Ray said that she is tired of bein~
asked "what is feminism, what does a
feminist think?"
"Feminism," she said, "is not
necessarily separatist, feminists are not all
man-haters, feminists are aware of, and
fighting, women's oppression. What's
negative about that?"
The coordinators also have other
changes in mind to help the Center
achieve it's goals.
The Center is in the process of
"defining it's mission and it's role in
dealing with security issues on campus,"
said Ray.
The Center also plans to work on
issues that deal with sexism, such as
racism, homophobia, etc. that have
"plagued the women's movement from
day one," said Ray.
In spite of living in a society that
makes organizations like the Women' s
Center necessary, "You can't get so
bogged down in your oppression that you
forget how wonderful it is just to be a
woman," said Ray.

As of Monday Nov. 3, 1992 Colleen
Ray is the Longhouse Project ,Coordinator
for the Evergreen State College. Her
multifaceted job includes the awesome
transition of the many visions of the
Longhouse into an architectural plan and
budgeting realities.
Ray, a two time Evergreen graduate
with a Master in Public Administration
degree and a Bachelor of Arts
stresses the ,point by stating, "Everybody
has their own idea of what something
looks like and with -the Longhouse this is
especially Inle," said Ray.
"Some people come to the table with
a vision of an old traditional building on
the water front ..and others come into the
decision wanting electricity and computers:
all the latest technologies available to
Indian people and Non-Indian people
alike, that says we are here and now and
we exist in today's modern world The
real dynamics that are going on here are
bring the traditionalists and the modem
futurists together," said Ray, "it's a real
grinding dynamic that has been going on
for twelve years and it is one of the
obstacles that has kept the project from
happening."
"The Longhousc is the number one
capital expenditure priority," said President

Jane Jervis, "among issues that are driven
by the academic programs."
Some safety issues have budgetary
priority over the Longhouse Project "It
[the Longhouse] serves as a visible sign of
our commitment to campus hospitality,"
said Jervis. '
. She pronounced the importance of a .
large group facility on campus. ''The
funding for the longhouse needs to come
by next July," Jervis said.
.
Colleen Ray is serious about the job
that she faces and, although she views the
task as a dream come true, her tone is one
of humility when she tells of the college
administration seeking her out Cor-the job.
The location of the building has not
yet been solidified, much like the vision of
the building the location also requires the
cooperation of many diverse views.
One of the proposed locations is off
of Dogtooth Lane, near the Seminar
Building. This is the place Ray envisions
the Longhouse to keep on working
towards its future development
"If it was up to me, which it's not,"
said Ray, "I would choose that spot"
When faced with the financial
situation of Washington State, Ray
responded, "The Board of Trustees is
asking the State Legislature for full
funding of $2.1 million."
to question the idea.
. "We are always in a budget crisis,"
said Ray, "what better time than right
now ... this project is going to put people to
work... [and] I have to look at what is
going to make it work," said Ray, .....when
I look at it I see the peace dividend, the
investment in education, the desperate
need in higher education for facilities that
create something new and different that
address our multicultural issues. This
Longhouse is all those things and it is
creating classrooms on the campus and
addressing the social needs and the
cultural needs of our campus."
Ray has worked on the project for
the past twelve years in various capacities.

''This ~ been a grass-roots project from
th. beginning," said Ray.
"It was introduced by Mary HilIaire
and it has been the students who have said
we want this thing. One of the reasons this
has been so hard to do is because this
campus was planned. the agenda had been
set, and the degree of enlightenment
needed for this project was not involved in
the planning. We might not get the
funding for this project this year," said
Ray, "but we are going to have a really
good package to present to the State
Legislature. "

an't afford to save for retirement?
The truth is, you can't afford not to,
Not when you realize. that your retirement
can last 20 to 30 years or more_ You'll want
to live at least as comfortably then as you
do now. And that takes planning_
By starting to save now, you can take
advantage of tax-deferral and give your
money time to compound and grow.
Consider this: set aside just $100 each
month beginning at age 30 and you can
accumulate over $192,539* by the time
you reach age 65. But wait ten years and
you'll have to budget $227each month
to reach the same goal.

Even if you're not counting the years to
retirement, you can count on TIAA-CREF
to help you build the future you deservewith flexible retirement and tax-deferred
annuity plans, a diverse portfolio of investment choices, and a record of personal

by James Wright
It's over. And like many I know, I
suffer from election hangover. The
constant battering of what the twO major
candidates have done the day before has
now taken a back seat to more important
information to be passed on. Or has it?
Not in the least. For those who enjoy
reading a newspaper, the "transition of
power" soap opera has begun. Everyday,
until maybe 1994, we'll read about
Clinton's cabinet, his dealings with
Congress, and even his midnight raids in
the White House kitchen. Really, do we,
as read~, really care?
""
We must, otherwise why else would
this information be printed. Doesn't it say
in the upper left hand corner of the New
York Times that it only prints "news that's
fit to print?" Well, I've been doing a little
investigating in some of the most widely
read newspapers and periodicals to find
out the truth.
First, I made a choice. I selected The
New York Times, The Washington Post,
The Los Angeles Times and The Olympian
for my newspapers, and used Time,
Newsweek, and U.S. News & World Report
for my periodicals. My idea was to
research how much print has been given to
the election process over the last six
months.
I can't say I enjoyed the task at
hand. It's monotonous, repetitive, · and
sometimes outright boring. I will give
credit to each of the carriers by saying that
they only. print what will satisfy their
selected readers, but do we all really care
that much to read about the sound bite of

the day? Does it interest us that much to
read on the average two pieces of analysis
of the campaigns a day?
In the periodicals, which average
between 88-100 pages, 10 to fifteen were
given per issue over the last couple of
months. Every once in a while, a whole
spread (like the national conventions) took
up more space. So, you have
approximately 11-15 percent devoted to
the elections. Now, if you throw in the
advertisements, which count for up to 34
percent of the periodicals, then we have a
different story. That means 18-25 percent
of the space for the reports were devoted
to the election. Now you may say that this
is an important topic and it is necessary to
report on the major national issues, but is
the process that important as the election
itself?
Next, came the newspapers. I stayed
with the first section of the dailies on
account the political process of elections
rarely made the sports section or the arts
and entertainment section. But, about once
a week it did make the business section,
and they are included in tllis survey.
The first section of the dailies
averaged between 16-36 pages each day
(including Sunday editions). Out of each
newspaper, an average of one (The

from outside the Evergreen community
while walking along the main pathway
between A ~dorm and the CRC. During that
attack, [ screamed continuously for help. It
would have been difficult for those in A
and the surrounding dorms not to have
heard me. When I was able to escape, I
ran immediately for the lobby of A dorm
in order to call 911. As ] entered, I was
perspiring, out of breath, and most
noticeably I had blood on my face. The
people in the lobby 01'. A~dorm had heard
the screaming, and were curious, but did
not take it upon themselves to locate the
scr~ms. They stood idly around. Only one
woman on the eighth floor had the correct
response and dialed Public Safety as soon
as she realized what she had witnessed
from her balcony. When it was apparent
from my disheveled state that something
had definitely happened, all people present
turned as if they were not a part of the
happenings. As I explained what had
happened nobody responded; they did not
want to deal with the possibility of outside
violence intruding onto the Evergreen
campus.
In order to keep Evergreen a safe
place for everyone, we cannot tum our
backs on those who might need assistance
in an emergency. Don't just claim that you
thought it to be a joke. If the screams for
help are sincere, it is always obvious.
When there is doubt, respond. It does not
hurt to overact; it hurts to not act. The
latest Evergreen flyer from Nov. 6 states
that "we hope to foster a feeling of
openness and trust among the campus
community," but how can we foster these
feelings if we don't even feel protected by
our fellow students?

Dante, your last column really upset
me. Not only was it offensive to read but
your point was totally lost in your own
feeling of despair and your assumption
that we all think the same here.
Look, Dante, assaulting your readers
is no way to get your way. Neither is
presenting them with false or misleading
information.
I agree with you that the death
penalty is wrong on the principle that I
have no right to determine who lives and
who dies. But if you are going to discuss

Hating won't
stop hate
Karl Steel:
It is admirable to have such
passionate beliefs, and to take the time to
explain them to those who, like me, are
not as enlightened as you are.
Unfortunately, after reading your letter, I
was left confused about a number of
things. Racists are intolerant of those who
look different from themselves. And nonracists such as yourself celebrate harassing
those who look like they might be racist those who look different from your own
guidelines. Please, explain how this isn't
hypocritical.
And the Hitler comment - that
confused me, too. From what I understand
about European history, it went something
like this: after WWI, the victors took great
pains to destroy Germany so that it would
never, ever rise to power again. The
people were left destitute, humiliated, and
alienated from the rest of the world. Hitler
simply took advantage of a situation that
was already there, and focused their anger
on innocent scapegoats - Jews, Gypsies,
etc. Hitler was going to advocate that
bullshit no matter what, but in all
probability the Germans would not have
followed if those victorious had only
showed a little respect and decency to
them. So it wasn't just their complacency
after the Fascists had power, it was their
lack .of compassion beforehand. [ am sure
• that there are several other factors
involved that [ have overlooked. Please,
correct me if I am wrong.
I. have one more dilemma, and I'd
appreciate your help in solving it. Two
boys (A and B) of different racial
backgrounds are friends. They go to the
school I was graduated from last year.
O:K., so they're sitting in class and joking
With one another. B writes lyrics to some
song by a black artist whose theme is
something about fucking a KKK bitch .
Later several guys who are the same race
as A come up to B and tell him that he is
a racist motherfucker and that he better
not bother A anymore. Then they beat him
up. Not that race should matter, but A is
black and B is white.
So were the people who assaulted
him standing for or against what is
co,:ect? Their passionate vigilance against
racism IS very noble, but I fail to
understand how anything good can come
out of the situation. I don't doubt their
good intentions. Maybe they were a little
overzealous, just like the person in the
CAB may have been? Please explain to
me how hating someone who has hate will
help the hate to disappear.
I eagerly await your reply,
Casey Birdsall
Clinton ain't
noInMessiah
last week's CPl, Seth "Skippy"
Long rejoiced that we elected Bill Clinton
to the Presidency. He no longer worries
whether women, people of color, or gays
and lesbians will suffer from oppression.
While I, too, am pleased with the election
results, I caution Seth and others from
becoming too euphoric. I feel it's easy for
our society to believe that one Messiahlike person will make everything okay
without any effort on our part. The
responsibility to change lies within
ourselves. Because the face has changed in
the White House does not mean
oppression will cease. Each of us needs to
take the responsibility to speak out and
refuse to accept infringements of our
rights, abuse, racism, and homophobia. I
hope Bill Clinton and other elected
officials will listen and respond more
favorably to our needs, but we still must
make our voices heard.

Kinda Sorta Generally Annoyed
1. Thank you, Luke, for articulating
my philosophical anguish that only seems
to appear on this campus. Come by and
talk to me again. You should make copies
of that essay for every person on this
campus. Then make them sit in their
rooms and think about it carefully. It was
beautifully put, and I'm sure lots of people
would read it and say, "Yes, that's it," like
I did. But then, who am I to judge. I have
never fully been able to swallow the
political indoctrination and
the
philosophical relativism that is necessary
to be a good little Evergreen student.
2. It's all really nice and humanist
that so many people on this campus yell
about human rights and cry about the evils
of war and violence; but something is
dreadfully skew. Was all of A-dorm
pondering the injustices of the world when
a man got mugged right outside, on a
lighted path? Were you all too anguished
about dictatorship and the capitalist
machine when this man walked into the
second floor lobby with blood on his face
to offer any assistance? My feelings about
most people on this campus keep proving
themselves to be true. People seem more
concerned with the catchiness of a political
slogan than with the basic well-being of a
fellow student.

wrongs make it right Mr. Steel believes

Veterans' grief needs' more recognition
by Sarah Light
.
By the Lime this CPl comes out on
Thursday, the day marked on our
calendars as Veteran's Day will have
come and gone. The Olympian will have
written something about it, and there will
have been a ceremony at the State Capitol.
You could easily ignore the whole thing.
Yet many of us are veterans, and
many of us have loved ones who are vets.
One day cannot contain all the honor,
respect, and support that is due our
veterans. One day cannot contain all the
grieving for those who have been killed in
wars and in "peace time." One day cannot
heal the wounds inflicted by a country that
sends its sons and daughters into hell ...a
country that then refuses to fully welcome
vets back home.
A few weeks after the Persian Gulf
war officially ended, I submitted an article
about veterans to a community college

People of color taught to admire white people
by Lynn. Teresa Williams
Is it because of love that one learns
to hate? When one feels rejected by the
other, especially if that other is someone
one has admired, what happens? Hurt?
Anger? Mistrust? People of colour are
taught to admire the antics and
acheivements of white people. Yes, we
admire them - at first. Who can help it?
All media in this country is inundated with
images of whites in universally recognized
positive roles. They are the heroes and
heroines we emulate in our dreams at
night. We get older and learn to identify
with what is good and right in the world.
Having an innate propensity for goodness
we travel toward our fellow human beings
only to be faced with the fact that they
don't like us very much. In fact they think
that we are inferior to them, and they are
not unwilling to tell us so. This telling
takes many forms which are too complex
and lengthy to go into here but which will
be addressed at an lecture/workshop called
"Racial Oppression: How It -Happens and
How We Can Work Against It" sponsored
by Umoja, the Womens'Center and the
S&A Activities Board as of this writing.
Yes, we have a tendency to shout.
White people are hard headed, their ears
arc plugged, their hearts are focused on
the superficial belief of their own
superiority. Still, how can they escape
developing such an attitude? They are
victims who are damaged by
indoctrination. Every day they are
encouraged to engage in competitive
activities which helps to sustain this belief
in themselves. For them life is but one
continuous series of arenas to struggle
with the inferior element and to succeed in
conquering that inferior, dark element. Or
to try to redeem it Or at least to make
sure that the inferior element knows its
place in the divine schema of life.
Yes, there is an unwritten rule that
only one race can be "superior." In our
daily lives, it usually translates into the
belief that only one person ·can be the
smart one in the class, or the pretty one,
or the silly one. We scramble to find our
roles and cling onto them with a ferocious
tenacity. Based on these realities, when
human beings begin to look at oppression
and how it manifests itself ·in our lives
there should be certain questions that are
asked, such as how does the sexual
politics of day to day living, and the
dominant/subordination principle of
"nature", as defined by modem man
(master/slave) influence our emotional
response to perceived threats to our selfimage? Is racism a separate malady or
does the "-isms" converge when the
conditions are met i.e., a white person is
confronted with a person of colour,

Oxfam fasts to stop world hunger
by Kerry Holden
Every day 60,000 people - two thirds
of them babies and small children - die
from hunger and related diseases.
Although the world produces enough food
to more than adequately feed every person
on this planet, hunger continues to plague
an estimated one billion people, one out of
every five persons around the globe.
To raise awareness about world
hunger, and to give students, staff, faculty
and others on this campus a chance to
contribute towards ending world hunger,

Harvest." This week and next week, in the

Tuesday, Nov. 17, the week before

Since 1974, more than six million
Americans have taken part in "Fast for a
World Harvest." Both Oxfam America and
RESULTS are non-profit organizations
committed to ending global hunger.
For those unfamiliar with Oxfam
America, Oxfam America is an
international agency that works with poor
people in Africa, Asia, Latin America, the
Caribbean and - beginning this winter here in the United States. It provides local
groups in 28 countries with the resources
they need to increase their economic
self-reliance and food production, preserve
their cultures and improve their living

works to educate the American public
about hunger and development issues.
Oxfam differs from other aid agencies in
that it neither seeks nor accepts
government funds, is not affiliated with
any religion or political party, and looks
beyond emergency relief to long-term
solutions to hunger and poverty.
RESULTS is a grassroots political
lobby whose purpose is "to create the
political will to end hunger." Since 1980,
RESULTS voluntccrs from around the
country , and abroad, have lobbied
Congress and Parliament to pass
legislation which encourages sustainable
forms of development for the poor. For
example, in 1989 RESULTS played a key
legislative role in increasing funding for
cost-effective, anti-poverty programs and
helped to cancel $1 billion of Sub-Saharan
African debt. Their most recent efforts
have focused on micro-enterprise
legislation (banking In developing
countries based on the Grameen Bank in
Bangladesh) and securing funding, totaling
$530 million for U.S. and international
programs to benefit poor children.
Also, on Tuesday evening there will
be a "break the fast dinner" at 6 p.m. in

will be served with a discussion and video
afterwards. Please call Claire Brundridge

c1assism when the conditions are met to
facilitate its expression.
A perfect example of how it operates
is illustrated by the suffering of a 6 year
old Jamaican boy who was featured in The
Olympian the 1st of November. He
endured physical abuse because of the
colour of his skin. Not only was he called
"nigger," he was called "faggot" and a
whole host of other names. Whose to say
that in its subtler forms racism is not used
in tandem with the other ills of our
society? And who hurt that older white
boy so bad that he has to go out and hurt
others?
In conclusion, people of colour have
a need to connect, not to hurt, usurp, or
threaten when addressing issues of racism.
Whites, please take responsibility for what
you are feeling when we talk to you and
communicate it to us.
To my former classmates of the
Human Culture and Natural Environment
in Latin America program, and to the
faculty of said program, I'd like 10 say
that I do not blame any of you for any
actions you took, or feelings you felt in
regard to my presence in the program. I
can only express my frustration that an
opportunity for growth was interrupted
once again by fear of exposure. We are all
victims of oppression. The fact that we
find it difficult to relate to each other only
underscores the deep impact of it on our
lives. I wish I had done some things
different, I'm sure that some of you have
similar wishes. Maybe in the near future,
who knows? My door is opened, my
number is 866-4711.
To Soren Flexner: I record on a
cassette all my quotes and save them for
such occassions as this. If you would like
to listen to the quotes which were printed
in the article which did appear in ePls

possible for you to do so.

by Seth "Skippy" Long
Ah! The change of the seasons is
upon us. I can feel it in the air when I
walk across campus and as I pedal home
at night. The slight sting on my cheeks as
the November wind brushes past my face.
When I open my drapes to meet the
morning I am now greeted by a light
which is slightly blue in hue instead of the
more familiar and considerably warmer
yellow/orange hue of late Summer/Fall.
The light penetrates the trees outside my
window and lands crisply and abruptly on
my carpet, instantly putting ' a chill over
my room.
The leaves are now crisp with this
chill, not damp and squishy as they are
during the October rains. They make a
delightfully pleasing "Crunch!" noise as
my tires hit them.
Outside my door lives a colony of
rather large and pregnant spiders. They
have spent the last few weeks creating a
home for themselves near my porch light
and eating whatever finds its way into
their . webs. Now it is getting colder
outside and there seem to be fewer and
fewer of these arachnids above my door.
Though those who remain appear to be
large and well fed. Hmmm ...
Winter.
Times like this a young man's
thoughts turn inward. Towards one's own
being and he wonders about things like
mortality, morality, and things of the soul.
I talked with some friends about this
change in both the seasons and moods.

Schemm from page 5
placed on the heads of the "liberal
aesthetes." Well, okay, of course
somebody should have done something to
stop the rise of the Nazi Party. But this
seems to me that it makes a bit more
sense to place the blame with (get this
radical idea) the Nazi Party itself. They
were intolerant towards all who were (and
are) different. They were operating under
the same idea that you are defending ,
"guilty until proven innocent." Perhaps
intolerance towards intolerance could have
prevented the Holocaust But, maybe, just
maybe, general tolerance would have been
more effective in the first place.
4. What's the deal with Cat Kenney?
Is she really that horrible? I don't get it.
5. Speaking of intolerance and
fascism, it amazes me how defensive this
campus (or rather many people on this
campus) can be when there is actual
diversity in opinion. You don't have to
like it, but must you persecute it? I would
cite specific examples, and maybe will at
some point. And yes, I used the word
fascism , and yes, I am applying it in all
seriousness to this campus. In case you
didn't know, fascism is not limited to the
right-wing or to the housing staff (which
I don't Quite understand). There is definite
indoctrination here, and those who don ' t
buy it are ostracized or persecuted or
eventua11y shut up and count the days until
graduation.

lively vocabulary. But I'll just leave that

aggressively attacking those who disagree
with us is at times crossed. I believe when
we cross this line we jeopardize the safety
of our very valued environment that
allows us the freedom to voice our
opinions and enjoy each other's diversities
here at Evergreen. We do not want people
to be afraid to speak their views, do we?
I also believe that the more
aggressively attacked people feel, the more
apt they are to disre§pect and disregard all
incoming ideas, no maller how rational or
important they are.
I want to point out that aggress;·/ely
attacking ideas seems to be an attempt. to
dominate/control, and isn't dominance at
the core of the oppressive, patriarchal,
Euro-American culture we "buck" against?
. How successful are.we at rebelling from a
system if we are in fact still subscribing to
it? Are we in fact "bucking the system" or
externalizing our internalized (trained?)
need to control?
I also want to remind everybody that
we are in school to learn and grow and
that is what we should be doing, ego aside
(Trust me, no one has a harder time than
me!). It's about time we all sat around and
had a good, nonpolitically-inspired laugh,
after all, I suspect we all have a lot more
in common than we often think.

NOVEMBER 7. STUDIO 321
by Karl Steel
A brief review for those who
weren't able to find Studio 321 (it's in the
docks. an area that reminds me of South
Seattle). The opening band. 30-ought-6
(dumb name noted) admitted. "It's our
first time in Washington. and our third
show ever." They impressed me first with
their gentle naIvete. roly-poly friendliness
and also the way they glided into their
first song with all the flimsy grace of a
Warner Bros. anvil. Great tune. lots of
potent bass chords coupled with a
hyperactive drummer to whom I say calm down! Life's too short for so many
cymbals I The songs got more ponderous
after that. like a brontosaurus on
quaaludes. Not bad: see them if they're
allowed to leave Portland agam.
Seems silly to review Mothermayi
since you've probably seen/heard them
already. If not - get with it. chump! MMI.
another friendly band. uses superb
start/stop punk which would remind me of
NoMeansNo if NoMeansNo were
something more than merely precocious. I
even enjoyed their guitar solos - why?
Because they're such decent people. When
they release ' their projected three seveninchers. buy them.
Pitchblend. From DC. a fact which
I wish I didn't know. because I kept
thinking, "Gosh, this guitaTist does a mean
Fugazi cover!" Call me a sucker, but I
liked them anyway. finding myself draped
insulted in four or five more ways, so 1
was doubly pissed off when I noticed that
no one (included myself) called him on
the comment. I left, pretty damned
angry/disappointed. It's unfair to leave it
at that, because after some research, I
discovered this seeming callously stupid
vocalist was born in Tacoma, therefore the
word Tacoma has always' made him think,
"Vagina." Tacoma was the seed for a
stream-of-consciousness which spawned
memories of accidents and birth. Phew.
Phlegcamp is once more safe to listen too,
which is good, because when they don't
slip into funk, they're alright.
Karl Steel wants to feed his bass to
the next person who spells "alternative"
with a capital A.

Innovative senior thesis
revives natural harmony
by Celia Chantal
Joe Aynn, in a senior thesis based
upon research done in collaboration with
Mark C. Billinger. is reawakening an
original scale that could revolutionize
music as we know it today in the
"Western" world. Not since J.S. Bach has
such a significant scale structure been
introduced. The premise of the scale is
based within what Aynn calls "natural
harmonics."
Aynn has written a children's book.
The Search for Ah .... based on his "natural
harmonics" scale. The characters.
correspond to the tones "Do. Re. Me. Fu.
So, Mu, Ah, Ti," which emerged from
Aynn and Billinger's research.
"The result of this research is a nontraditional musical ' scale of whole
numbers, whole tones." explains Aynn.
The "natural harmonic" scale is
based upon a principle of equal
relationships between whole tones and
whole numbers: 1,2. 3. etc ... A scale can
be formed simply by taking a whole tone,
such as low C. and finding the harmonics
rising above it. The harmonics are found
by doubling the tonal frequencies (sound
waves). creating a ratio of 1:2. 2:4, or 1,
2.4,8. 16 ...
J.S. Bach's scale, in contrast, is Do,
Re, Me, Fa. So. La, Ti. (For the numerical
value and exact relationship among Bach' s
tones. ask Aynn on Wednesday night or
consult the nearest musical dictionary).
Why does Bach's scale need reevaluation? "Fa and La are aberrations:
Fa is two thirds of what it should be, and
La is in the middle of where it should be,
plus the seven tone is completely missing
altogether," says Aynn.
In Flynn and Billingers' "natural
harmonic" scale, Fa and La are altered to
We've got
create whole tones, and are renamed "Fu"
and "Mu." The missing seventh tone is
added, and named "Ah u , an echo of some
people's response when they heard it.
Thus: "Do, Re. Me. Fu, So. Mu, Ah. Ti."
Wednesday, November 18, at 7 p.m.
in the Recital Hall, Joe and other artists
will present an improvisational
performance piece. Toneberry Jam. The
"natural harmonic" form of music will be
played on handmade pan flutes and
marimba created for the new tones and
drums. The performance will include
dance and lights whose colors correspond
to the tones of the scale.
Aynn will begin the performance by
giving a brief overview of his work.
Afterwards, he will open a discussion of
the potential. essence and mission of his
work.
The music performance is an
auditory and sensory experiment. Come
experience this "original, natural and
harmonic" music.
Celia Chantal is the layout editor for
the CPJ She has a pretty name and she
danced to Toneberry Jam.
