TAKl! THlS "lSVll'S ftOA"
WlTH rJO"Y 'NATCr.lF~
by Bryan Connors
It was about five years ago - I
remember it clearly. II was a dreary,
drizzly, dark Seattle-type weekend, and I
was bored silly.
I spotted a big red paperback book
that had been floating around my house
for the previous month or so.
That book was Ann Rice's The
Vampire Les/at.
I was somewhat familiar with Rice's
other gothic/horror/vampire-outing
Interview with the Vampire, having
scanned over it some years earlier, but I
dismissed it as a little too wordy for my
taste in horror (that taste composed of
your basic monster - vampire, werewolf,
mummy, ghoul, etc - doing what they do
best; maiming, killing, and, yes, eating
people .. :forgive me, I was young and
unsophisticated).
So, with nothing better to do, I picked
up that big old tome and started reading,
flipping the pages a little faster as I dove
deeper and deeper into the book.
And then it happened; I was sucked
down in to the world of Rice's vampires
like a victim's blood down one of her
characters' throats.
I mean, here was a twist on vampire
lore that was totally in a fresh vein. Here
were vampires who were not just fanged
monsters running amuck, but thinking
beings who loathed, as much as they
loved, their immortal existence.
And the blood, oh yes the blood. No
vampire tale has ever described the
drinking of blood in such a rich and horrid
detail.
Oh yes, I was hooked all right. So
much so that cut I class that Monday so I
could finish the book . without the
distraction of something so trivial as my
education.
This, friends and neighbors, does not
happen every day.
After I finished Lestat, it was an
obvious progression (or digression), that I
would run out and fmd the aforementioned
Interview with the Vampire. I tried believe me I tried - but I couldn't find it
anywhere, and it was little less then a
month later before I got my hands on a
copy.
Again I dove in, but found the fmt
hundred pages too thick (although lush) in
description for even me (as a matter of
fact, I've heard from others that those frrst
pages turned them off to the whole
Vampire Chronicles series ... pity). But I
pressed on, and it happened .again; I got
sucked in. As a matter of fact, after
finishing that book, I put down Interview
with a genuine case of the creeps.
This, again, ladies and gentlemen,
does not happen to yours truly every day.
Well, a year or so later, Rice's third
installment of her Vampire Chronicles,
Queen of the Damned, came out
You can guess what I did. Yes, I
raced down to the book store and got one
of the first hard bound editions that came
out of the crate. Again I dove in (as a
matter of fact I fmished the frrst chapter
before I got home) and again I got sucked
in. I spent the next two-and-a-half days
with my face stuck in that novel, and,
believe me, I did nothing much else. I was
so enthralled with Queen, that I seriously
had to pull myself away from it to go vote
in the last presidential election.
And that (all together now) does not
happen to me every day - even in a minor
election year (By the way, r liked Queen
of the Damned, although many Ann Rice
fans didn't).
It's now four years latter, and Rice's
fourth installment of the Vampire
Chronicles, The Tale of the Body Thief,
just hit the stands.
As you could expect, I raced down
to the my local book dealer and procured
it Again I was sucked in as I devoured
the volume in a single weekend.
The Tale of the Body Thief is, as
explained in the first chapter by its
hero/narrater Lestat (who was also the
hero/narrater of both The Vampire Lestat
and Queen of the Damned) , as a
.. ...contemporary story. It's a volume in
the Vampire chronicles, make no mistake.
But it is the frrst really modem volume,
for it accepts the horrifying absurdity of
existence.... "
The tale begins with an immensely
powerful Lestat experiencing severe
"vampire burnout" (which his kind are apt
to have from time to time), thanks to
countless infusions of blood by the
mother/queen of all the vampires in Queen
of the Damned, as well as other ancients
immortals.
After an unsuccessful try at
destroying himself, Lestat is approached
by a man - a Body Thief - who claims
that he can exchange bodies with Lestat in
order for Lestat to experience being mortal
once again for a short period of time. All
the fellow wants in return is the use of
Lestat's powerful body for 24 hours, and
TIlE EVERGREEN STATE COLLEGE
Gender and science 'forum insightful
Lestat becomes so intrigued with this
proposition, that he all but ignores the
warnings of his "child" Louis (the vampire
hero/narrater of Interview with the
Vampire) and his mortal friend David
Talbot, (the head of the ultra secret occult
society the Talamasca) that - because of
Lestat's monstrously powerful body - such
a transfer would be disastrous.
But their pleas for Lestat not to go
through with the transfer are ignored.
Lestat goes through with the transfer, and
it turns out to be successful.
What happens then is what could be
called a vampiric version of You Can't Go
Home Again. Lestat, almost at ollce,
begins to loath such trivial and mundane
human needs as eating, sleeping, expelling
wastes, and sex.
After the 24 hour period is up,
Lestat - who now is suffering from
pneumonia - realizes he has been
chiselled, and that the Body Thief has no
intention of giving back Lestat's body.
The rest of the book, mostly, deals
with Lestat trying to get his body back,
and, while on the way, loathing his newfound mortality. This, by the way,
involves being nursed back to health by
and falling in love with - of all people - a
nun.
This instaUment of Rice's Vampire
Chronicles is in some ways-better than its
predecessors, because its narrative stays
relatively in one place, and doesn't require
one to perform mental gymnastics to try
imagine what a multitude of people and
places should look like through time (not
that this is bad, mind you).
This is also pure Lestat from
beginning to end. There are not dozens of
the undead running around, and except for
Louis, and a very, very brief appearance
by a certain two thousand-year-old Roman
vampire, Lestat is the only one traveling
the "devil's road" in this tale. (Oh, by the
way, the ghost of a certain vampire childreal or imagined - does pop up from time
to time).
This book can also be read without
reading the previous three entrees, which
is a plus for any literary series.
(But really, you should start from
the beginning, if you can, because you'll
love this one better - believe me).
If there is one thing that I found
missing from Body Thief, it was a general
eerie overtone that seemed to be in the
prior three books.
But the ending makes up for this by
exposing Lestat for what he is: a selfconfessed evil fiend and a blood sucking
kiUer who will always do what he wants,
and not the romantic and cuddly vampire
that most "Rice Crispys" think. (Rice
Crispys is a name I've given those idiots
who think it would be real groovy to be a
Rice-type vampire, when in reality they
would surely dump in their pants if they
were to actually run into one.)
Anyway, I dug this installment of
the Vampire Chronicles .. .it's just too bad
I'll have to wait four more years for the
next one to come out.
But you know .. J'U be one of the
first ones in these parts to get it
Oh yes ...that you can be sure of,
because an instalment to the Vampire
Chronicles doesn't happen ...every ... day.
Bryan Connors wouldn't take the
"Dark Gift" for nothin' ... so get those
fangs away from him.

Nosferatu examines vampiric co-dependency
NOSFERATU THE VAMPIRE
DIRECTED BY WERNER HERZOG
ON VIDEO AT RAINY DAY
by Mike Stewart
Nosjeratu the Vampire played at the
Capitol Theater Sept. 25. at midnight I
found a seat in the balcony and got
comfortable. I'd never (ead the original
tale of Count Dracula, but almost
everyone I know who's read it says that
it's masterpiece of horror literature. Now
the jdea of getting to see the films
interpretation of the novel had my
expectations set high. I wanted to be
scared!
I did not know that there were two
versions of the film, the original silent
black and white 1922 version, and the
later colorized, English-dubbed 1979
adaptation made by a German director,
Werner Herzog. This showing of
Nosjeratu was the 1979 version. The
director Werner Herzog is known for
portraying his films in a deeply personal
fashion which often makes the visual
aspects of his film difficult to understand.
When viewing the film , I found myself
having to struggle to foUow the story's
development.
Nosjeratu the Vampire is a fIlm
about a society that is invaded by a
vampire. The people who live there are
affected by him, and portrayed as people
who fall victims to dependency and how
much of dependency we place on
stability of our everyday life. When
bodies begin turn up in large numbers,
the community as a whole explains it as
Volume 23 Issue 7
some sort of plague.
Later in the fIlm, key characters
begin to encounter the vampire and
literally become paralyzed with fear that
such a thing exists, and that his existence
destroys the security of how they see the
world. The film uses the idea of a
vampire as someone who is a victim of
a disease that is beyond control. There is
a consistent ftlm motif of large sums of
rats used through out the film. The image
reinforces the idea that we as a society
suppress or block out the disease that's
in us and around us, until the disease
itself begins to be a monster and out of
control.
There are constant visual references
to how the victims of Count Dracula
become co-dependent on his existence ·
and affections, in order to continue to
exist and function in this new state of
being. At the same time Count Dracula
has a dependency of his own, seeking his
victims affection by demonstrating how
uncontrollable his need for their blood is.
The film explores various forms of
dependency and the denial of our
surroundings by showing the vampire
destroyin~ in a situation where no one
was being destroyed until those closest to
them began to be killed.
The ftlm visually is quite disjointed,
yet there are enough symbols and chilling
photography to capture the dark and
gothic essence of the vampire. I found,
after reflecting on the film, that the
director's approach forms a very personal
Count Dracula. I began to understand
what it must feel like to be such a
creature.
Not what I expected, but I still
liked it.
Mike Stewart is a great guy and
very patient to boot.

"This workshop is about raising
aware!.less. Issues of gender in science are
not new to the world, we are juSt
becoming aware of them," said Darshi
Bopegedm, beginning last Friday's Science
and Gender workshop.
The panel of seven, that included
professors, past and current Evergreen
students, and specialists in the fields of
Ecology and Biology as well a specialist
from the Department of Transportation,
was selected to talk about how issues of
gender have and still do affect them in
their careers.
'"
Ann Wax, a former Evergreen
student and Department of Transportation
official, recounted how her frrst
introductions at her work place were a
voyage into the cells of mens cubicles that
had girlie posters hanging on the walls.
She explained that the posters are
gone these days, but that, "Sexism is alive
and does exist," and that it is common for
women to get "talked over" in meetings
and the like.
"People are becoming aware that we
can't afford discrimination ..." and that
things are getting better every day,
especially with every woman that enters
into the science fields, said Wax.
Lisa Soltani addressed ways to make
science more inclusive for everyone. She
said, "It seems that there is some
investment in the idea that only certain
people are good at science ... ": those
certain people being men.
That idea is slowly changing, as the
workshop on Friday illustrated. The
workshop provided a forum for the
discussion of the history of women in
science.
Margaret Alleck, visiting from the
Oregon Graduate Institute presented an
informative lecture on women in science
over the centuries. Amazingly, the frrst
book that ever documented women in

science was written in 1913 by Jesuit
priests and argued that women could
indeed think and did indeed have brains.
It has been highly difficult to
document and trace women in science
because there has never been any effort to
document their work.
"We just don't know about the
women in science. Historically their works
have been attributed to men, ignored and
have gone undocumented," said Alleck.
This happened because women had
to do things in organizations, or with the
help of men, so that historically it has
become difficult to separate the
accomplishments of women from their
male counterparts.
Starting at the beginning, Alleck,
with a slide show for accompaniment,
showed how women in Mesopotamia, who

~elds, women only m~e up 20-~0%, and,
House. My memories of the Carter years
are faint and skewed.
Four years after that, they would
elect Ronald Reagan president. It was
from this presidency that my memories are
most clear.
I have not truly known a Democratic
presidency. I have grown up in a time
when we were taught to love and trust our
leaders despite the fact that they constantly
lied to us and cheated us at every turn. I
grew up in a very cynical age. .
But on Nov. 3, I think I.helped start
industry, learned chemistry. In Greece the
female Pythagoreans learned mathematics,
cosmology and she said there is proof that
Socrates and Plato had women as students
and teachers. In Alexandria women
learned chemistry.
From 1704 through 1840 it became
fashionable for women to pursue science
in a backyard fashion. It became such a
large trend though, especially with the
publishing of the Women's Almanac, that
a backlash was created against women
who pursued these interests, albeit
recreationally.
The plays such as Moliere's,
ridiculed these backyard scientific women,
because science was becoming a lucrative
field that men wanted to dominate and
didn't want to feel threatened in.
One of the panel members, Bill
Leonard mentioned that of the scientific
the end of that age of cynicism. That day
I cast my vote for Gov . Bill Clinton and I
am indeed proud.

As I sat there, watching the returns
come in on the TV I could not believe
what I saw. It was as if something had
finally been lifted off my back, as if my
chance had finally come. My candidate for
President of the United States was actually
winning And as the night wore on I
realized that nearly every vote I cast was
in the majority. All of my candidates were
winning!
Euphoria is a difficult feeling to put
into words. And yes, I am being deadly
serious. For a moment tears formed in the
comers of my eyes as the man on the TV
announced that Gov. Bill Clinton of
Arkansas would, in fact, be my new
president. I felt, and still feel, that all of
the injustices, all of the basic rights and
privileges of this society that Reagan and
Bush had so thoroughly stomped on would
soon begin to be put back in order. I feel
that maybe now there will be something in
this society for me. Most of all, I have an
overall feeling of hope and optimism. The
cynicism that once controlled me is
beginning to be eroded by the new, young
and energetic sense of possibility. I find
myself wondering if this is what young
Americans felt li.lce in 1960 when J.F.K.
.
was elected.

...that the more bIOlogIcal the SCIence, the
more women one tends to find."
Indeed, the lack of women in
science can also be illustrated here at
Evergreen. Most of the science classes
hover around the 30 percentile as far as
female students go.
Christa Hinchcliff,a female student
in the Chemistry, Calculus, and Physics
based program, Matter and Motion,
mentioned that, "There are only 19 female
students out of 58."
Another female student in Matter
and Motion notes this discrepancy but
states, "I got used to it because my class
last year, (Chaos, Calculus, and
Confucious) was like that."
Another student said that in class
you can tell which guys are aware of the
women and which just sort of "look over
them". Additionally, when Matter in
Motion seminared on a book entitled
Women and Nature, the men in the class
tended to use the term "he" when talking
abput the author, even though it was
written by a woman, and that some male
students rejected the book altogether and
said it wasn't logical enough, that it had a,
.....rational philosophy similar to Hitler's."
While aU this illustrates the
difficulties and banality women have had
historically, still do have, and will
continue to have to face, Friday's
workshop forced people to look at gender
in science, at women in science, in a
hopeful perspective.
"Have women persevere -- the easier
it is going to be, the more women are
going to get out there," said Ellen Chapel.

Budget cuts to
threaten higher
education
by Tedd Kelleher
Evergreen, and other state higher
education institutions, could be threatened
by a projected $1.6 billion state budget
shortfall projected for the 1993-95
biennium.
Although shortfalls in the past have
not materialized, many feel that the
numbers are too overwhelming this time
for a last minute reversal to take place.
Washington State Office of Financial
Management documents calculate that to
make up the $1.6 billion shortfall the state
would have to experience growth similar
to that in 1988-89, when the state enjoyed
exceptionally strong growth, largely due to
Boeing adding tens of thousands of high
paying jobs to our economy. In the next
biennium, Boeing is expecting to continue
cutting employees, putting a further drag
on an already sluggish economy.
Office of Financial Management
documents calculate that a 14 percent
across-the-board cut in all state agencies
(except K-12 education which is protected
by the state constitution) would be
required to make up for the shortfall.
Under this scenario not only would
agencies be required to cut 14 percent, but
state employees would forgo a cost of
living pay increase, effectively cutting

The Evergreen women's soccer team
extended their season by 30 minutes last
Saturday, forcing Gonzaga University into
overtime on a last minute goal by Kelly
Lindgren. The Geoduck women then
conceded 3 goals, eventually losing to th.e
"Zags" 4-1.
In the frrst half, play was very even.
Each team created scoring opportunities,
but each were denied goals by the spirited
play of both goalkeepers. Evergreen's best
chances were the result of passing
combinations on the left side between
Robin Stephani, Kelly Lindgren, Kristen
Gillanders, and Sara Gagnon. Their efforts
proved dangerous to the Gonzaga defense
but failed to produce a goal and the half
ended 0-0.
. Spurred on by the shrill screams of
the die-hard Geoduck fans, the team
pressed forward at the beginning of the
second half in an attempt to get the goahead ' goal. Against the run of play, a
Gonzaga player slipped through the hardworking Evergreen defense to put the Zags
ahead 1-0.
The Geoducks were down, but not
out. They refused to back off despite
suddenly being under incredible pressure.
Play in the defensive third became very
Massage
,
t
intense and defender Carla Jones rose to
the occasion. Her crunching tackles and
courageous challenges in the air were an
inspiration to her teammates. The
Geoducks rallied and managed to get the
ball forward for several shots on goal.
Th~ equalizer came off of a nicely
timed pass from Gillanders in the last
minute of play. Lindgren slipped the ball
by the outstretched hands of Gonzaga's
goalkeeper, tallying her eighth goal of the
season and forcing the game into overtime.
The Evergreen women couldn't keep
up with the pressure · and allowed two
goals early in the flrst 15-minute overtime
period and the fourth goal came just
seconds from the end of the second period.

budget from cover
employee wages 7.4 percent (rate of
inflation) over the biennium.
Under this scenario Evergreen would
be forced to cut 411 full-time students and
53 staff.
A second scenario that protects
higher education from any cuts would
result in an 18 percent cut to the
remaining unprotected state agencies. At
this level the Department of Health and
Human services would be forced to
eliminate several important programs such
as the General Assistance-Unemployable
program, effectively cutting off 18,000
who presently receive cash and medical
services. This would likely lead to
increased homelessness, aggravated high
cost emergency health care, Increased
pressure on mental health hospitals and
deaths that could be avoided.
It seems unlikely that the public
would be willing to accept protecting
higher education at the expense of basic
human assistance, and life. In addition
cutting basic support programs would
likely cost the state more in the long run.
K-12 enrollment increases ,
hyperinflation in health care costs, falling
wages, a slowing economy, and increasing
poverty are the primary causes of the
projected shortfall.
Between 1986-91, K-12 enrollment
increased more than 100,000 students - the
equivalent of adding the Seattle, Tacoma,
and Spokane school districts to the system.
This growth, largely attributed to the
"baby boom echo" and massive

immigration, is not expected to slow for
several years. These additional students are
protected from budget cuts by our state
constitution.
The average inflation rate between
1986-01 was 4.45 percent, while health
care inflation ran at 14.8 percent.
Although the state has been able to
mitigate some of the effects of this
increase by cutting benefits for employees,
future reductions will be harder to make.
Declining wages using 1980 as a
base year are projected to cost state
government $600-$700 million in the
1993-95 biennium.
Using 1980 as a base year, increases
in poverty will cost the state $200-$300
million more in the 1993-95 biennium.

The Evergreen men's soccer team
wrapped up their season on Saturday
afternoon with a 3-1 win over Whitman
College. The victory helped to get rid of
the bitter taste of the previous weeks
defeats to PLU and SPU, and ended the
season on a positive note.
First half goals by Scott Foss and
Alex Sigman gave the Geoducks a
comfortable 2-0 lead at halftime. In the
second half Evergreen's John Hall upped
the score to 3-0 with a chipping shot into
the upper left comer of the goal. Whitman
countered with a goal in the 75th minute
and attempted to rally a comeback in the
final flfteen minutes, but tough defense all
over the field by Evergreen, and superior
goal tending by Andrew Klubberrud and
Brian McVay kept Whitman in check and
brought the win home.
The win put the Geoduck's season
record at 8-8-2, an encouraging result
considering the team is composed mostly
of freshmen and sophomores and playing
in a district and league where, according
to coach Amo Zaske "there are no weak
teams anymore."
The recipe for the season's overall
success had to do with the experience and
leadership of the veteran juniors and
seniors and strong play by the freshmen,
who were able to adapt to the college level
of competition surprisingly well. With the
number of young players on the team this
year, the Geoducks are keeping the faith
for the '93 season and beyond.

I stumbled into the Eastside Club
last Thursday night to partake in the
weekly Simpsons ritual and was immediately confronted by the Managing Editor
of this fine collegiate rag. I have become
accustomed to finding him there in a fit of
nervous thought sucking in nicotine and
alcohol at a feverish pace and pondering
the lack of respect he and his Cooper
Point Journal get.
Why he continues to seek my counsel in these matters is no doubt reflective
of his masochistic tendencies, for I find
few joys greater than whipping him into a
frenzy of inebriated anger by challenging
his every contention. He is a fine target
for this sort of rhetorical swordplay, yet,
he returns weekly for this ceremonial
pUblication date battle. Whether he hopes
to someday triumph over my quick witted
condemnation of his inner turmoil is of
little interest to me or this piece. My only
intention is to outline that partiCUlar night

"defacement of his paper."
His claim was that the defacement
was perpetrated by a disgruntled response
page writer who took offense at the poor
choice of headline the editors had assigned
to her polemic condemnation of a previous
article_ In disgust she took the most direct
form of action; she fixed it. Systematically
plowing her way through over a hundred
papers, she crossed out the, misleading
headline and replaced it with her own.
The editor in question was ripe with
indignation and threatened to avenge the
integrity of his precious paper through
calculated legal action. The State, he
claimed, would be behind him all the way,
for his paper fell under their jurisdiction as
"state property."
What!?! It's free for Christ's sake!
There may be some bizarre chink in the
law which would imply that some two-bit
college newspaper falls under the, jurisdiction of state property, but does anybody
really give a damn? Furthermore, how
would you enforce such a thing?
Maybe we should post armed guards
at each free CP I box and force all those
curious students who might want a paper
to sign an agreement not to conduct any
lewd or lascivious acts with their college
weekly. A police raid would surely be
needed to flush out all those ungrateful
readers who are using their CPIs for
things such as bird cage lining or window
washing. Justice in the defacement of
"state property" must be enforced quickly

Response
Don't trivialize
cultures
To the editor,
1. The Umrani workshop: Mr.
Umrani is a very informed individual. He
did seem somewhat distant towards the
students who invited him to a reception.
This could have been the effect of
nervousness before an event, or yet
another successful person of color has
forgotten what it is to be a student. His
workshop, while informative, I believe
lacked enough substance to help this
community truly understand the concepts
of racism and oppression. I do not think
workshops will help to eliminate racism
and oppression in the u.s. by talking about
them as black and · white issues. I do
appreciate hearing from someone else who
subscribes to the theory that POWER +
PREJUDICE = RACISM.
2. Cat Kenney: Get a grip! Jokes and
cartoons degrading culture and/or ethnicity
are bland, boring, obnoxious, and last but
not least, racist. Oh well, maybe
someday ...
3. CAB vendors: The circus in the
CAB is often times amusing, yet can get
out of hand. Take the case of central and
south american clothing being sold by
privileged whites who have the dollars aild
means to buy huge quantities of clothing
at minimal prices and sell it to fashion
conscious college students. Please do not
think that I am saying "hey greener, don't
buy that sweater," simply because it's not
that business. It would be appropriate
though, to question the vendor. For
example, "Do you work with a co-op, or
are you in this simply to profit off the
backs of Indigenous peoples?" I believe
this question is quite relevant. Maybe you
have heard ~e phrase cultural genocide,
well perhaps it applies to these vendors.
4. The Welcome Pole: I am
assuming that I'm not addressing anyone
from the Evergreen community, but these
words are to whoever took the time to
deface the welcome figure near the library
loop. You may not be aware that this
desecration is viewed by some Native
people in this community as a hate crime.
To wrap toilet paper, place a sign stating
that "this drunken Indian cannot be
saved," and put some spare change near
the base of the pole is one of the most
racist acts yet to be carried out on sacred
ground. Yes, sacred ground! In 1985,
when the welcome pole was dedicated, the
ground surrounding it was blessed and
songs were sung in celebration for the
raising. If this were to happen at a
cemetery or national monument, the outcry
would be deafening. Once again Native
peoples have been abused, and many nonnati ves wonder why we get so upset.
5. FREE LEONARD PELTIER!
To all of my relations,
Gary Wessels Galbreath
Accuracy is
essential
The subjects of racism and prejudice
are extremely emotional a nd personal .
Therefore, the language which we use in
discussing them must be very clear and as
free from ambiguity as possible. This is in
order that, when we address these topics,
and they should be addressed, we avoid
alienation and reverse prejudice. These
outcomes are tempting to fall back on due
to the difficulty involved in discussing and
illuminating the problems and solutions of
racism and prejudice. We must be vigilant
and dedicated to eradicating alienation and
prejudice of all kinds within our
communities and within ourselves. In
achieving these goals, it is of utmost
importance that we fust remove the planks
from our own eyes, that we can see to
remove the splinters from the eyes of
others.
I attended the racism workshop
presented by Ali Rashad Umrani and was
outraged through most of it by the
arbiLrary role reversal that was taking
place. I was outraged least of all at
Umrani himself for instigating the
alienation of all white males. What was
truly outraging was the way in which
many members of the audience fell so
thoughtlessly behind this banner of
prejudice and reverse racism. When a
white male in the audience, regardless of
true ethnic background or experience,
spoke against this all encompassing, prejudging, stigmatizing label, he was not
only put down or ignored by Umrani, he
was sneered at, snarled at or even laughed
at by many non-whites and non-males in
the audience. Instead of attempting to
protect all humans' rights, regardless of
ethnic background, sex, creed, nationality,
sexual preference as one would expect at
least at a racism workshop; it seemed that
many members of the audience were more
concerned with watching white males
squirm for once.
I can only hope that Umrani had
secretly spoken with these people before
the workshop in order to further his true
cause which was in' fact to make these
white males feel as oppressed groups feel
everyday.
Umrani washes his hands of reverse
racism with this cause in that, as Joanna
MacIver put it, "It showed the whites what
it was like to be denied your own
experiences, your own history. I felt like
he got his point across clearly and it made
people feel."
Umrani himself stated that the intent
of the workshop was not to offend or to
make enemies. He ran the workshop very
well in that he managed to keep his intent
hidden until the end.
Unfortunately, I fmd it difficult to
believe that the members of the audience
who expressed prejudice and racism
towards the white males in the audience
had some sort of precognition of Umrani' s
intent It seems more likely that they
entered the workshop with these prejudices
and unfortunately, left with them as well.
As George Hermosillo "went on to say,"
he was pleased with Umrani because he
made it "clear" that white males were
"causing" the oppression and that it was
unacceptable.
It is unclear to me at this time
whether Mr. Hermosillo believes that all
white males are actively causing or
passively causing the oppression, or
whether he believes that certain white
males are causing the oppression. This is
the ambiguity we must avoid! On this
point I must implore that the CPJ editors
and journalists put forth more of an effort
in reporting clearly and correctly,
specifically on subjects of this nature. For
instance, when quoting someone on a
touchy subject like this, don't paraphrase!
Tell me what they actually said. Otherwise
I'm hopelessly lost in inference.
I think that we can all agree that the
majority of the time, white males are at
the top of the oppression food chain
(though not all the time, nor all the white
males, as we have seen with affrrmative
action and even at this workshop). Does
this imply that all white males are more
prone toward prejudice than others? Does
this imply that no white males are
interested in changing the oppressive
social structure which they, themselves
were born into? Does this in fact imply
that all white males want the system this
way?
It is imperative to understand that in
creating absolutes in our minds, in
alienating certain parts of the population
from ourselves on the grounds of ethnic
background, sex, creed, nationality, or
sexual preference; in generalizing about
humans who are in some way different
from ourselves, we not only commit a
crime against them, we commit a crime
against ourselves and all of society. We
move the society, to be certain. And
perhaps we even move it away from the
current problems. But in using this
method, for every step we take toward a
solution, we take two steps away from it.

Bravo for
intolerance
To S.D. Carmichael:
Life's tough.
Page 6 Cooper Point Journal November 5, 1992
The
pyres
of
persecution burn unabated on this campus
and younguns like yourself are choking on
the fumes. Tough, tough, tough.
Well, I say bravo for intolerance and
bravo for persecution. Here's my list of
intolerables: "Shut-Up Bitch" baseball
caps, beef, "it's okay to be gay as long as
you're not femme", Bush stickers. The
whiny complacency of liberal aesthetes
allowed Hitler to get power, so bravo for
the preventative of intolerance towards the
evil. Don't let them escape with, "Hey,
man, it's just my trip. Accept me for what
I am."
If ,someone accuses you of being
something you're not, go ahead and
defend yourself and be happy the person
isn't another potatO who's afraid to
express themselves.
And, incidentally, "Take the
Skinheads Bowling" is performed by
Camper Van Beethoven, not the semimythical Let's Go Bowling.

Housing staff
committed
In a recent letter to the CPJ editor,
Ben Schroeter criticized housing policy
concerning bands, compared the actions of
housing staff to right-wing Nazis, and
directed a number of invectives against
Housing staff members Bob Carlson and
Jeannie Chandler. As a general principle I
do not publicly criticize the actions of a
student. On this occasion, however, I
believe that there is a higher principle of
fair play which compels me to speak out.
Students should be encouraged to
take issues with matters of policy. The
judgments of staff, and in some cases,
their motivations, are also subject to
review, criticism and debate. I think Ben
Schroeter's letter is filled with
misinformation about the band policy and
its origins, but this again is a matter upon
which reasonable members of our
community may disagree.
There are, however, portions of the
letter which I found uncivil. I am troubled
when the decisions of staff are equated
with the behaviors of the perpetrators of
hate crimes. But what I find equally
abhorrent are the insulting personal attacks
which I believe serve no purpose but to be
hurtful.
I know that the housing staff will
seek to clarify those matters of policy
which have been raised. As professionals,
I do not think it is likely that they will
respond in a personal manner. But it does
not take a great leap of imagination to
realize how painful these attacks must be.
What I hope is that members of our
community will speak out against these
abusive statements. The Evergreen Social
Contract is clear in extending the concept
of civility to all members of our
community. I believe that much of what
Ben Schroeter has written violates that
contract.

Dirt Clods IV:
The
Return
As much as my mind sometimes
longs to stretch to greater heights, I must
again sink to address this pressing
question: what does happen to Dirt Clods
when it rains? Well, Ms. Steffens, I didn't
know myself, so I must give credit where
credit is due. I went to an infinite source
of wisdom and serenity. Roosevelt the
Bear. Now, Roosevelt has been a part of
the Schemm family for some time, and he
says that this is definitely the most inane
question he's ever been asked. I reminded
him that he's been dead for a really long
time. At any rate, Roosevelt says that Dirt
Clods burrow underground to a secret
hide-out in the Badlands of South Dakota.
This is where they conspire to make Kurt
Cobain the puppet dictator of the world.
No joke. One of my friends (who is a
science geek waging a loosing war with
the spiders of the household) actually
hangs out with someone from South
Dakota. She won't confirm or deny
anything, but she does wear an awful lot
of flannel. Teen Spirit will be the law. The
Sub Pop Gestapo will put espresso down
our throats and shoot heroine in our veins.
(As a side note, I just came to the horrible
realization that I live with a communist. A
loveable commie, but a commie
nonethelcss.)
So there was this guy named Adam
Troxel that I went to Catholic school with.
I thought he was a skater dork (he was),
and he thought I was a trippy sprocket
chick (I wasn't). Anyway, we're pretty
good friends, now, and he's even dating
one of my closest friends . He told me to
write this. But we realized that it's not that
we don't get along, it's those South
Dakotans. You see, Adam Troxel (who
has a shaved head and is tall and skinny)
told me, in all seriousness, that South
Dakotans cat human flesh and have cloven
hooves. And someone else said (that.
someone else being the sweet baboo of my
commie roommate) that South Dakotans
tails were cut off at birth .
Now, being born and raised in
Montana, I was horrilied to learn that I've
spent the majority of my life so near the
South Dakota border.

aB 2554: Orwellian law gone' for now
by Sara Sterrens
Well, free speech enthusiasts, a
minor victory was won this past week
with
the
temporary
ban
against
enforcement of House Bill 2554 by a
Washington Superior Court Judge. HB
2554 limits the rights of minors to
purchase
music which
has been
determined "erotic."
[ say a minor victory because at
this point, complacency is our greatest
cnemy. The bill was not declared
unconstitutional in its basic concept.
Rather, the judge took umbrage with two
basic features of the bill. The first is its
unacceptably vague definition of "erotic."
The second is a loophole which allows a
judge in one county to declare a sound
recording obscene for the entire state.
The latter is a problem both of ethics and
practicality.
Under HB 2554, material is can be
restricted if it "affronts contemporary
community values, appeals to the prurient
interest of minors in sex and is utterly
without redeeming social value." Golly,
hamsters appeal to a minors' prurient
interest in sex. National Geographic
magazine appeals to minors' prurient
interest in sex. Minors simply find sex
appealing, just as younger children lend
to wildly enjoy bathroom humor.
This definition also makes the
assumption that material which affronts
the standards of a community is
automatically bad. Under this standard,
material which promotes condom use as
a method of AIDS prevention could be
considered erotic in the context of
certain communities. (Because a judge in
such an area could rule birth control
information "utterly without redeeming
social value.") The information about
condoms could then be restricted to adult
access only, throughout the entire state.
In a more extreme scenario, access
to material which protests a sexual
practice prevalent in the community (let's
say date rape, for instance,) could be
restricted by law to those 18 and over, if
a judge did not consider prevention of
date rape an issue of redeeming social
value.
Far fetched you say? Five years
ago, many of us never imagined the
tatters that now remain of Roe vs. Wade.
Our judges simply are susceptible to the
spirit of the times. Right now, Americans
wallow deep in the foul recesses of the
family values myth. It could happen.
The big kick in the pants is when
one considers that laws restricting sound
recordings are only a natural outcropping
of existing and widely unquestioned laws.
We already have laws restricting access
to obscene material in other media: video
and print.
I've said it before and I'll say it
again: if you want to get your undies in
a bundle about House Bill 2554, you
must first examine your feelings about
"pornography" in other media.
In my opinion, all access restriction
of pornography featuring and produced
by consenting adults is an unaeceptable
form of censorship. Think carefully about
which First Amendment rights you are
willing to give up in order to create the
illusion of comfort and security. Are you
willing to give up your right to speak in
order to insure' that no one's speech will
offend you?
The battle 19 maintain our
constitutional right to speak and publish
freely is far from over. Every instance of
censorship damages the fabric of
American society. Every successful
attempt to censor makes the next easier.
HB 2554 will continue its way
through the judicial appeals system. If the
bill continues to be overturned, have no
doubt that it will be rewritten and
resubmitted to the state legislature. Let' S
be on the ball next time, shall we? Use
the Washington state legislative hotline,
write letters, speak out publicly to let
your representatives know how you feel.
Defend your rights, no one else will
do it for you.

Entertainment Editor and likes to express
her First Amendment rights with her funky
attire.
Your input necessary for disabled accessibility
by Jenni Mechem
Quick! Before it disappears, the
Access Services DTF wants to know what
you think TESC should do to improve
campus access for disabled students. The
DTF is almost finished with its report to
the Vice President of Student Affairs, and
will be holding two public comment
sessions next week: Monday November
16,3:00-5:00 p.m., and Wednesday Nov.
18, 1 :00-3:00 p.m., in L2205.
All students who identify as
disabled, or are interested in the issue, are
encouraged to attend or submit written
comments about complaints, problems,
suggestions, or successes.
·
The DlF has been meeting since
November 1991, when former VicePresident for Student Affairs Carolyn
Dobbs formed it to review support
services and physical access for disabled
students, ensure compliance with the law,
and make recommendations for current
and future improvements. Evergreen must,
at the least, meet all federal and state
Response
Help prevent
further hatred
Recent desecration of the Welcome
Polc on campus by an unknown individual
or individuals should not go unnoticed for
the hateful ~nd hurtful action that it was
intended to be. The ignorance and
disrespect shown for this spiritual symbol
through these actions illustrated a vicious
stereotyping toward Native American
people. The action included a Sign
equating Native Americans with
drunkenness and a beer bottle was taped to
the pole. This shows an irreverence toa
space that is sacred and respected with
many offerings, because many songs have
been sung and many stories have been told

regulations for equality and
nondiscrimination.
Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act
of 1973 prohibited all federally funded
institutions from discriminating against or
excluding disabled students from any
program, and required modifications such
as interpreters, · taped books, and
wheelchair access. The Americans with
Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990 goes
further by requiring all public entities to
make "reasonable accommodations" to
serve disabled people, with timelines for
compliance.
Many barriers to equality remain on
campus: not all bathrooms are wheelchairaccessible, the campus telephone system is
not hearing-aid compatible, and there are
not enough large-print monitors in the
computer center.
Less tangible, but equally important,
are the services and altitudes encountered
by disabled students. This is the first year
that the Access Services office has a fulltime staff person. There is money in the
budget to make further changes; the public
comment sessions are the students'
opportunity to determine how that money
is spent.
The Access Services DTF Report
recommends a number of changes,
including a policy statement and formation
of an ADA Compliance Committee and an
Advisory Board to coordinate services.
Staffing of the ' Access Services office
would be increased to four: a Director,
Disability Specialist, Counselor, and
Student Peer Support Coordinator.
Specific changes would be made to
registration, testing and evaluation, and
academic services and support. Faculty,
staff, and students would be proVided with
training on disability issues, and a
grievance procedure would be developed.
Financial aid policies that unfairly penalize
disabled students would be modified. The
college would lobby for state funding for
barrier removal and architectural changes
required by the ADA.
Despite increased funding, not all
at the pole. These are not the values of
honor, civility and respect that are taught
and held by members of the Evergreen
community.
Evergreen's drummer was carved out
of red cedar by members of the
"Ceremonies: Prefigurative Culture"
progmm in 1984. The twelve foot welcome
figure stands at the campus entrance,
welcoming College visitors in memory of
faculty member Mary Ellen Hillaire,
founder of the Native American Studies
Program. For many of us the drummer is
a daily symbol of the truly unique and
very special environment we strive to
foster at the College. Its defacement is an
affront to us all.
The Office of Public Safety is
conducting an investigation into the
incident. We would like to take this
opportunity to encourage anyone
witnessing this act or other acts of
desecration, vandalism and any other
crimes against the community to report
them immediately . to Public Safety,
extension 6140, Seminar Building 2150.
This can be done anonymously. Safety
staff members are available twenty-four
hours a day, seven days a week. They will
document the incident with , a report,
interviews with witnesses and proper
handling of evidence. A!l of this
contributes to a successful investigation
and resolution of the incident. This could
possibly prevent such events from
occurring in the future. It is in the best
interest of us all to acknowledge, confront
and eliminate these acts of intolerance on
our campus.

This political season has shown an intolerance by the public for narne-calling
and finger pointing. Smear campaigns were tiresome and voters longed to hear the reaJ
issues discussed.
Likewise, the Evergreen community is tired of narne calling, and malicious,
abusive, vicious attacks.on people. We're a community of critical thinkers, granted an
impassioned community of critical thinkers with the potential for anger.
The Cooper Point Journal is a reflection of the Evergreen community and the
im~oned responses to issues keep our pages vibrant But malicious, abusive attacks
on people do nothing to resolve the issue at hand and detract from the point trying to be
made. If a submission comes to the CPJ which strikes the staff as being a malicious,

Play tells story of Filipino immigrants
by Curtis Goodman
A.S.I.A, is sponsoring Across
Oceans of Dreams, Saturday November 7,
at 7 p.m. in the Experimental Theater.
This will be one of the last performances
of this musical drama about the early
Filipino immigrant experience during the
1930's. Since this spring, the show has
traveled the West Coast extensively.
Across Oceans of Dreams
A Musical Drama
written by
Timeoto Cordova
November 7, 7 p.m.
Experimental Theatre
$3-$7 Students/Seniors
$10 General
The play is about the hardships
faced by two young Filipino immigrants.
Circumstances separate the two friends.
One becomes a rootless migrant worker
while the other continues his education,
marries and raises a family .
Though other dramatic productions
have explored the hardships of Filipino
immigrants, director and playwright
Timeoto Cordova says they have rarely
"spotlighted the many Filipino Americans
who had married, more often to a nonFilipina, and reared families despite
discriminatory and exploitive economic,
social political educational and recreational
•
hardships."
A recent review by AI Corral in The
International Examiner says that Across
Oceans of Dreams, " ... exemplifies real
experiences of the Filipino American, at
times tragic, yet powerful, endearingly
funny, yet unforgeuable .. .It is telling the
stories which need to be told of the soul
and essence of the Pinoy, the Filipino
American."
The drama' s dialogue and dance
sequences are bolstered with slide
presentations by the National Pinoy
Archives of the Filipino American
National Historical Society.
Across Oceans of Dreams was
originally written and produced in 1976,
but has undergone a complete
transformation with a new script and an
original musical score and choreography.
According to Cordova, "in its
remaking, the musical drama has lured the
imagination and creativity of Seattle's
finest Filipino - American artists and
performers into a single commitment. This
show will make our ethnic community
proud and gi ve us a deserved niche in
American art."
The play is produced by the Sining

Fellows had studio fever producing lates·t album
IT'S LOW BEAT TIME
THE YOUNG FRESH FELLOWS
FRONTIER RECORDS
by Early Ewing
To record their latest effort, It' sLow
Beat Time, The Young Fresh Fellows
traipsed across the country working with a
plethora of producers from the hot beds of
the music industry. This journey included
two stops in Memphis. First collaborating
with Willie Brown and then with one-time
Alex Chilton producer Doug Easley. I hear
Big Star is a "Big" influence on the
Fellows along with such garage bands as
the Sonics and the Wailers. Which took
them 10 producer Kerney BarlOn, the Mr.
Seattle Sound himself. They were sure 10
knock off a few at Egg Studios in
Ravenna, with Conrad Uno. The
culmination of their production efforts
landed them at Smart Studios in Madison,
Wisconsin, to work with Butch Vig. The
band claims their work with him was
entirely Pre-Nirvana. I am likely to agree,
the latest Fellows release is sharp willy
and mature in a paradoxical sort of way.
It's Low Beat Time is a well-crafted witty
recording with all the bizarre silliness that

the Fellows have institutionalized.
So, if I'm gonna do that band-sound
comparison this album is a cross between
the Ramones and a choice of (a) The
Smiths, (b) The Posies or (c) The
Dobermans. The Fellows do combine the
trumpeting genius of street-musician
Richard Peterson into several of their
numbers. Brian of The Dobermans said
"Tad's drumming sounds like a drum
machine," in reference to his tight-ass
percussion techniques. This is not to say
that Tad doesn't have a tight ass, but if he
does his drumming mirrors it.
"She's got a pair of lips you could
shine your shoes on," starts out "Snow
White." The chorus of the song, "She's
got a pair of legs and a pair of arms," is
repeated several times to drive home the
point that this woman has a total of four
appendages.
I don't want to give away the end of
the album; it's a kick in the butt, but I
recommend obtaining a copy to check it
out. The record plays like a story or a
compilation of short stories of the same
genre. Which genre that would be I can
only speculate, see formula for band sound
above. "Mr. Antony's Last" and "Love is
a Beautiful Thing" are the hits off this
recording. Once again, pick up a copy 10
support your local Fellows and experience
the magic.
It's Low Beat Time is on Frontier
Records and their label rep, Pat Riley, is
engaged to an Evergreen Alum.

intelligent woman, and we at the CPJ are
proud to have her around.
euphoria from cover
that they are able 10 connect with peoplc
like me. They at least try to understand
where I am coming from instead of
expecting me to understand where they are
coming from . This is what I find so
promising. I honestly believe that they
care about me and you.
For the first time in my twenty
years, I can stop worrying whether or not
we will be bombing Iraq any second or
frelting over my federal financial aid
package. I trust that our new president will
do what is right for me. I no longer worry
that American women may lose their right
to reproductive freedom or that gays and
lesbians will continue to be kicked out of
the armed forces on the basis of their
sexuality. It looks like it may be okay to
start trusting our government again.
I feel like things are finally working
out in my favor. Like my time has come.
Like I finally won. Like we all won.
Congratulations America, this time it
looks like it's our turn.

back to local and state politics where they
can be dealt with effectively by the local
populace. The Rcligious Republicans and
their Moral Majority will not terrorize
Capitol Hill with any efficiency any
longer. The OCA has gone down in defeat
(although the margin was frighteningly
close). Music censorship in Washington
State has been defeated and all that
remains is Tipper Gore in the White
House, but I believe that they'll keep her
quiet on that one.
Some would say that I am .being
naive and that Clinton is just another
politician like the rest of them and that the
next four years promise nothing new. I
disagree. The Clinton White House may
not turn out to be Camelot, but at least we
can be sure that it won't become a pulpit
for right-wing, arch-conservative hacking
of our constitutional rights. Bill Clinton
and Al Gore may be career politicians but
what separates them from George Bush is
