Eleven members of the Mexican
Congress debated the North American
Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) Tuesday,
Oct 20 in LHI.
The Third Millennium core program
sponsored ·the debate where students,
faculty, and members of the Evergreen
community had the opportunity to
participate.
Four of the six major political
parties in Mexico were represented. Most
of the representatives were also members
of the Environmental and Ecological
Commission of Mexico.
Each party explained their party's
agenda and the debate opened to questions
from the audience. A gentleman from
Ecuador asked how the NAFTA is
different from the old North-South
relationship that led to poverty in Latin
America.
"The treaty defmes clear rules for
commerce, and a joint body will be
formed to discuss differences," explained
one congressman. He also added that the
NAFfA will allow Latin America, through
Mexico, to exchange products with the
U.S. and Canada .
Another congressnlan felt that it
would take a huge effort by all Mexicans
for Mexico to attain advancement through
this treaty.
A native Mexican from the audience
claimed that for over 50 years, one party
has won all of the elections, that the
political process is a fraud, and wanted to
know when the people would be able tl>
elect their own government.
One congressman thought that this
was more militant commentary than a
question; he said that the Mexican political
system has problems, but less serious
problems than some countries. The next
congressman disagreed, stating that it had
not been 50 years, but over 60, and that in
1991, the ruling party decided to bum the
election ballots rather than count them.
A third congressman said that the
Mexican political system has problems,
and they must fix these problems by
themselves.
A fourth congressman, in response
to the second, said that "If I cannot
demonstrate that fraud has been
committed, there is no fraud."
The next question asked if NAFfA
would limit Mexican trade with Cuba. The
response was that Mexico has always

traded with Cuba, Mexico provides oil to
some Latin American countries,
among others, and that the NAFfA treaty
does not limit relations with any
country in the world.
An audience member then asked
why the Mexicans think that the U.S. will
abide by this treaty. One congressman
responded that there will be a regulatory
body.
Questioning that response, another
congressman asked who will be on this
regulatory body. The first congressman
answered that the members would be
chosen by the legislative processes of
Mexico, the U.S., and Canada.
After several more questions, a
student asked what Mexico is specifically
asking from the U.S. in NAFfA, and if
the promises will be realistically met.
A congressman stated that the U.S.
will, under NAFfA, free 63% of
duties on imported Mexican produc:ts,1
while Mexico will only have to
of the duties on products it imports.
The Vice-President of the Labor
Council of Thurston and Lewis Counties
(LCTLC) stood and said that Canadian
and U.S. jobs are already moving south to
Mexico. He said that he doesn't want
Mexican workers to have cancer and
poverty, and asked what is being done in
NAFfA to cover labor exploitation.
One of the congressman answered
that, right now, when the NAFTA is not
effective, there are no regulations about
new industries moving into Mexico, but
that industries have not migrated to
Mexico now.
He asked the LCTLC Vice-President
what percentage of workers in his union
would be lost if jobs migrated to Mexico.
The Vice-President responded that in
Mexico City, an aircraft maintenance
facility was being built, and that out of 1
million members, 80-100 thousand
machinists would lose jobs just in that
area.
Later, talking to a group of students,
a congressmen said that public opinion in
Mexico is that free trade is necessary, and
will happen, and that NAFTA may work,
but it certainly isn't perfect The opinion
of the audience seemed similar, although
there was much concern about U.S.
workers losing jobs as a result of free
trade.

Debates amusing, not telling
by Andrew Lyons
What is it about human nature that
draws a person toward the strange and
bizarre, the sick and wrong? No doubt it is
the same compelling force that sparked
interest in our ancestors when the freakshow came to town. I dare say it was also
that same force that drew me to observe a
hideous underbelly of our culture; the
Presidential and Vice-Presidential debates.
For days now we have been
inundated with recaps of last week. Spin
doctors have been running amuck
declaring winners. But if anything can be
said about the debates, it is that they were
entertaining. If the networks had their
way, there would be an election every
sweeps week.
Ross Perot knew the value of
keeping an audience entertained in the two
Presidential debates. While Bush and
Clinton traded enough childish barbs and
name calling to cause both Joe McCarthy
and Prescott Bush to tum in their graves,
Perot instead pulled a fast one on the two
career politicians: he answered some
questions. And he did so with some actual
wit and humor. One could almost hear the
other two slap themselves in the face and
mutter, "Why didn't I think of that?"
Bush tried to use the "war on drugs"
to his advantage and stated that during his
administration, cocaine use among
teenagers went down. After all, there is a
recession
going on and money is tight.
In preparation for the Nov. 7

Supplies shipped to Cubans
by Lauren Petit
The SeattleICuba Fricndshipment
will be coming through Olympia on
Saturday, Nov. 7 on its way to Cuba to
deliver much needed supplies.
Cuba has been under U.S. economic
blockade for 33 years because of its
political leadership. With the recent
instability in eastern Europe, nearly 85%
of Cuba's trade contracts have been
broken causing incredible economic
damage.
The Friendshipment is a national

medical supplies, to be joined by
additional vehicles at stops along the way

will take place.
The Nov. 7 Olympia stop will be the

Volume 23 Issue 5
First we have Vice-President Quayle.
He said things I'm sure he felt were
important, but he shouldn't have drank so
much water. He was rocking back and
forth with legs crossed looking very
serious. As AI Gore phrased it, he
appeared to be a "deer caught in the
Analysis
headlights." Quayle's answers were brief,
his attention diverted. Towards the end of
the debate, however, he seemed more
confident, more comfortable, and he
stayed behind his podium.
Senator Gore seemed confident at
the beginning of the debate. He had the
facts, and he would ramble off statistical
minutiae with reckless abandon and
sources to back them up. For awhile I was
expecting him to pullout autographed
copies of Earth in the Balance and start
peddling them from the stage. (Quayle
mentioned the book before Gore had a
chance.) But Gore's enthusiasm didn't last.
Sadly, his answers fell into a typical
campaign propaganda funk. No doubt his
monotone delivery was the result of secret
hypnotic programming, an integral part of
the Democrat's campaign strategy.
If a shred of empathy was to be had
for any of the VP candidates, it would be
for retired Admiral James Stockdale. He
started off his opening speech by looking
cockeyed and pondering; "Who am I, and
why am I here?" I also wondered as the
debate wore on. He seemed lost Twice it
appeared that he wanted to leave. The
silver-haired gentleman did his best, his
stance on abortion was the clearest of all
of the candidates'. But it went downhill
after that, he muttered something about "If
you purify the pond the water lilies die,"
mentioned his hearing aid had been off
and watched the other two duke it out.
Both Quayle and Gore kept their
attacks focused on each other rather than
on the Admiral, maybe out of pity, maybe
out of respect, but as a person watching
the debate on the same television as me
pointed out, "It would be like kicking a
three-legged dog."
The winner of the VP debate: the
moderator, Hal Bruno. He was objective
throughout the whole sordid affair, instead
of giving in to a slightly apparent urge to
give the three candidates· a pimp slap.

According
to Dr. Umrani's
promotional materials, "no group or
individual is simply the oppressor or the
oppressed, we change roles constantly and
we must recognize our responsibility as
we do."
He states that "the workshop does
not seek to punish or to increase feelings
of guilt, rather the focus is on eradicating
guilt feelings while increasing each
participant's sense of responsibility for
their attitudes."
The goal of the workshop is to

Who are the male-chauvinists?
THE
MA THEMA TICAL
WITNESS
--------~-----,.
by Rafael Marino
Which country is more
male-chauvinistic, Mexico
or the United States?
Mexico, of course, most
readers will probably say.
The accepted perception
seems to be that in Mexico and in the rest
of Latin American countries, probably,
women are in a worse situation with
respect to men than in the United States.
But is this really true? On what do we
base this claim? It may be the case that
people in the U.S. are, without any
statistical basis, too complacent with
compiled by Curtis Goodman
regard to the position of women in relation
to men and in comparison with other
countries. Let us look at some relevant
statistics. (We will analyze data taken
from the New Book of World Rankings.
Third Edition, Facts on File.)
Fitst, the percentage of women in
the ' national Jegislatures. For the United
States it is 5%, for Mexico it is 33%.
Actually, Mexico is number one in the
world in this respect, together with the
Soviet Union (these statistics are for the
year 1985). Other Latin American
countries that have higher percentages than
the United States are (there were data for
only 14 Latin American countries):

Let us also remember that at least three
Latin American countries have elected
women as presidents: Argentina. Bolivia
and Nicaragua, while no woman has been
even vice-president of the United States. .
However, the percentage of women in the
United States Congress might radically
increase after the coming elections, since
this is supposed to be the "year of the

At #46 on Dr. Dick's Evergreen
inconsistencies list (right after #45: Why
are.the study booths on the second floor of
the library shaped like swastikas?) is the
fact that probably the number one
television show watched on this campus is
Star Trek - the fIrSt and next generations.
(This is by no means a scientific poll
and I should point out that Beverly Hills
' 90210 is probably the second most
watched show by Greeners. But that's
#47, so I won't get into it)
Why would a campus, where one of
the main concerns of the students is the
elimination of oppression, dedicate so
much time to watching a show which is
based upon the oppression of alien life
forms? Why are the life forms on Star
Trek almost always humanoids? When
there are other-than-humanoid life forms,
why are they invariably less intelligent
than their humanoid counterparts?. .and
how come they always are portrayed as
pets or killer servants manipulated by their
humanoid masters for protection or
aggression against that humanoid's
enemies?
Maybe the makers of Star Trek have
intrcduced us to a new futuristic "ism".
I'll call it "humanism"; the belief that
humanoids are somehow better equipped
to rule space than any other life form.
(Especially English speaking humanoids
from Earth... which would account for the
fact that everybody, including the enemy,
on Star Trek speaks English ...Hmmmm.)
But the main question still remains; why
do so many liberals watch this crap?1
Well I'll tell you; we've been set up.
I suspect that if we were to go back into
the annals of Gene Roddenberry's
fmancial records, we would find

Harassment not
acceptable
When we begin a new academic
year, we have the opportunity to renew
and reafftrm many things - the way we
relate to eacb other, the way we choose to
learn from our past mistakes, the way we
deal with differences and disagreements
among ourselves.
It's an especially good time for selfexamination. One important area in which
we are inviting and hoping for new
approaches is in how we all react to
disagrCernents on issues of race. During
the past three weeks, extremely troubling
exchanges have taken place.
One of these was a sign categorizing
white males. On Oct 6, the words "white
power" were written on the door of the
Women of Color Coalition office in the
CAB. On Oct 7, threatening messages
against women of color were left on the
same door. The actions directed against
women of color are especially problematic
because they make physical threats and
violate what should be a safe space. These
threats are being investigated by Campus
Security.
We are writing to urge all members
of the Evergreen Community to consider
more appropriate ways of expressing
opinions. We ask that the words of the
Social Contract become guidelines for our
behavior, specifically, that we constantly
remind ourselves that "Civility is not just
a work; it must be present in all our
interactions."
To help us all with the challenge of
learning more about issues of race,
learning to disagree in more responsible
and productive ways and learning to build
coalitions, members of the community
have planned an number of programs and
new ideas are being explored to respond to
current developments. The following are a
few of the activities underway; we
encourage you to share ideas you have on
ways to constructively deal with issues of
race.
·Thursday, Oct. 22: Nationally
known race relations expert Ali Rashad
Umrani will conduct a workshop entitled,
"Confronting Racism in American
Society." This free workshop will be held
in the Recital Hall at 7 p.m..
·Students who wish to discuss their
fears about race and oppression can meet

Dear Madame Zero and the esteemed staff
of the #1 college newspaper in the
explored universe,
Cat Kenney has done several fuzzyheaded things in her career as a CPJ
cartoonist and hanger-on, but her editorial
cartoon unfairly slamming Bill Clinton in
the Sept 24 issue is far and away the
fuzziest
As I type this I am watching the
vice presidential debate between potatoe
head J. Danforth Quayle, retired Admiral
James "Who's That?" Stockdale, and
Senator Albert Gore, who out of 535
members of Congress and the entire
Executive and Judicial branch of the U.S.
government is the most committed to
protecting and saving Earth's environment.
(Read the book.) As I digest the arguments
made by both Quayle and Gore, I am
reminded of the very wise man (I believe
it might have been me) who once
remarked that anyone who believes there
is no difference between the Republicans
and the Democrats must also believe there
is no difference between the sun and the
moon.
Miss Kenney (and Paul Slusher,
whose commentary surrounds the cartoon
in question) must not give a flying fuck
whether the next three Supreme Court
justices are appointed by Bush or Clinton.
My friends apparently think that far rightwing justices such as Antonin Scalia and
Clarence Thomas, who allow judicial
travesties such as Bowers v. Hardwick
(allowing states to outlaw homosexual
acts) and Webster v. Reproductive Health
Services (which allows states to restrict
abortion), are no different from defenders
of civil liberties like Mario Cuomo, who
Gov. Clinton has hinted he might put on
the Court. It is sad that Miss Kenney
thinks it's just flOe that the Supreme Court
might soon be filled with nine jack-booted
Fascists. One wonders if she has been paid
offby the Republican National Committee.
As I think about it, that seems quite
likely, considering that her premise could
be lifted verbatim from one of the daily
hate faxes emanating from Mary Matalin,
chief propaganda lizard for the Republican
National Committee. An effective political
cartoon presents ideas in a new and
satirical way. rather than merely recycling
stale and disproved lies from the
Buchanan! Schlaflyl Doman orbit. Miss
Kenney ought to stick to Coven House
since she evidently doesn't have what it
Page 6 Cooper Point Journal October 22, 1992
Forum
takes to be a political cartoonist.
It's all moot anyway. On Nov. 3, the
good people of this country will elect
William Jefferson Clinton the 42nd
President of the United States of America,
and there's not a damn thing Miss Kenney
can do about it Deal with it, sucka.

With that in mind. I anxiously awaited last
week's issue of the CPJ for some reports
on the events that took place in the
Olympia area. Unfortunately your
publication fell short of my expectations.
sUre, there was a wonderful photo of two
people who sPoke at a noon forum on
campus, but nothing about the forum
itself, or any of the events that took place
$at day. I often wonder if I am being too
"hyper-sensitive" in expecting non-native
people to support the concerns that many
of us have. I am tired of the excuse that
there wasn't anybody to write about the
issues, so maybe I should have done it.
Well, somebody had the time to see a ftlm
entitled 1492: The Conquest of Paradise,
which glorified a mass murderer and slave
trader. Mr. Watkins even had the time to
write nearly a page explaining to the
readers why we should see the film. To
use his quotes "the ftlm provides its
viewer with an adventurous two hours and
eight minutes of excitement." I can't
imagine ever reading a review of a movie
made about Hitler, glorifying his deeds
(read accomplishments). Yet we are forced
to deal with the notion of a mass murderer
glorified on the silver screen and in print
in the CPJ. Hyper-sensitive? Maybe I am,
but as an individual native person I cannot
expect non-natives to be as vigilant. We
cannot allow the dominant society to
forget the historical aspects of oppression
that make it difficult for us all "to just get
along" as Rodney King put it. Many of us
are concerned that once the hype
surrounding the quincentennial is over, we
will once again be viewed as that
"vanishing race" doomed to history,
picture books, and museums.
To all of my relations,
Gary WesseL. Galbreath
I am writing in response to Brad
Watkin's review of 1492: The Conquest 0/
Paradise. In his last paragraph, he speaks
to those of us "who refuse to see this
movie on principle." He writes .... .isn·t it
unfair for us to place morality judgements
upon a man whom none of us could ever
really know? All we have are written
accounts by men with their own personal
biases."
Perhaps Brad has not read any of
Columbus's own journals and letters.
Columbus wrote about kidnapping people
and making them slaves. Columbus began
the trans-Atlantic slave trade. On his
second voyage back to Spain, he forcibly
shipped 500 Taino men, women and
children. Only 300 of these people
survived the journey. In Seville, Spain
these people were sold.
Columbus was not satisfied with the
profits from selling human beings, so he
turned to gold. He forced Indigenous
people to collect gold, even though there
weren't any gold fields. Dogs were used to
hunt down and kill people who tried to
escape. Anyone who did not bring in the
required amount of gold had their hands
cut off. They were left to bleed to death.
Columbus aild his friends were
certain that Indigenous people were hiding
and stealing gold. Columbus wrote in
1494, "If you discover that some among
them steal, you must punish them by
cutting off nose and ears, for those are the

Why should learning have to be' political?
by Jessica Merrmeld Shemm
So I read in the last issue of the CPJ
that it is all right for people to put up
flyers saying "Disempower Rich White
Males." I agree that those flyers have a
right to be there. However, I would just
like to put in a good word for all those
Rich White Males out there who are afraid
to speak for fear of being stoned with a
million cries of "Oppression!" I happen to
know, personally, a few Rich White Males
here and there. Granted, I have to wonder
how some of them became so financially
well-off, but a good number of them
happen to be darned nice fellows. Also,
concerning the flyer addressing the
tendency of white "boys" on this campus
to force their hair into dreadlocks, well, I
must agree that it's pretty repulsive and
just plain Wl8ttractive. But it is in my
flawed nature to believe that every person
should worry about his or her own hair-do
and let others be concerned (or not) with
theirs. I was never aware that one's
dreadlocks were a symbol of one's
suffering. Maybe that's why I have short,
squeaky clean hair. So .. .If all of a sudden,
my beloved family and dog were killed
and eaten by ldi Amin, would apparitions
vaguely resembling wet cigars appear in
place of my hair? Someone tell me if my
inferences from the "white boy" flyers are
correct.
I did something I rarely do this past
week, to remind myself why I rarely do it.
I went to a political presentation. It was
the film "Still Killing us Softly." Now, the
film and the presentation were wonderful,
and even disturbing. It's a shame there had
to be a discussion afterwards. Of course,
there were actual insights now and again,
but the discussion pretty much consisted
of everyone pointing out how horrible and
oppressive society is and oh it's the white
male establishment and we must stand
together to fight whoever may dare
question our indignation and I'm sure
everyone here at Evergreen has
experienced these tedious self-help
sessions before, whether in seminar or
elsewhere. So I left. A white male friend
of mine pondered (afterwards) what would
have happened if he had stood up during
this session of self-righteousness and said,
"Well, what's wrong with a little
domination once in a while?" I thought it
was funny. I'm sure if anyone knew who
he was be would be having his skull
punctured and his guts strewn about as I
type. In fact, after reading this', the poor
white "boy" is probably notifying his next
of kin. The most important deduction I
made from the whole experience of the
presentation and discussion (if discussion
is the best word) is that it really is a
shame that somewhere in the sixties (may
that horrible decade be burnt from our
history) some shiny, young professors
decided that all learning is political. All
learning is not political. Most students
have enough wit about them to decide if
their knowledge is to be political or not,
after comprehension and guidance.

Anti-union vineyard celebration to be picketed
by April Rebollo
Drink wine? Even if you don't, you
can still help to right a great wrong. On
Oct 24, St. Martins College will be
"celebrating" Washington wines with the
annual Capital Food and Wine Festival.
This festival will feature U.S.
Tobacco's (UST) premium wines: Chateau
Ste. Michelle and Columbia Crest. These
wines are the focus of a nationwide
boycott led by the United Farm Workers
of Washington State (UFW-WA).
Vineyard workers of UST are now
fighting for workplace democracy, but the
lack of legislation guaranteeing them this
right is their biggest obstacle. Agricultural
workers are excluded from the National
Labor Relations Act so UST is not
required to allow the farm workers the
right to hold or recognize a union election.
In the past, UST has actively opposed
workers attempts to gain union recognition
by firing and harassing workers engaging
in organizing activities.
Most of the vineyard workers at the
two wineries are Mexican-Americans.
These workers, as well as women vineyard
workers, are repeatedly exposed to
discrimination in terms of equal
employment and benefits. UST refuses to
pay its workers time-and-a half for
overtime. even though vineyard workers
put in more than 60 hours a week under
hazardous working conditions.
Tomas Villanueva, president of the
UFW of Washington State, will be
addressing the farm workers struggle in
Olympia on Sunday, Nov. I, at the
MEChA Statewide Conference here on
campus in the Library Lobby.
Please join us in protest against UST
and show up to picket the wine festival.
We will picket at the main entrance to St
Martins College at 11:30 a.m. And if you
are attending this event, please don't drink
UST wines. Voice your opinion when you
walk by their booth; let them know why
you won't taste their wine!
For information on car pools, etc., I
can be found Monday - Friday from 11
a.m., slaving over my cash register at the
Greenery.

Wall to commemorate those lost to drugs, alcohol

We can argue about keeping the
status quo versus legalization. We can
criticize the way the authorities have
played with the facts to create a world of
horror and madness. We can go on and on
about how terrific they feel and the
wonders and enlightenment that they've
brought to us. But whether they're legal Or
illegal. good or bad, the fact is that drugs
and alcohol can kill those that we love and

(especially outside). A large part of the
problem is irresponsibility on the part of
the hosts or the musicians.
Loren expresses surprise that
Housing can wield such "control on our
home," but seems unwilling to realize the
realities of life. No matter where you live,
other people control your home life. Most
apartment buildings have noise policies
that are far more stringent than are
Housing's, and most neighbors are liable
to call the police if a party in your home
gets too loud. These are facts of life.
Loren purports that, since the breakup of the orientation week party, "nary a
peep of live amplified music has been
heard in the dorms." I would like to invite
Loren to come live in my apartment for a
week so that he can get his fill of live
amplified bass, at times so amplified that
chairs vibrate and plates rattle. We're
lucky enotIgh to have a real live bassist

care about
In the sheltered little world of our
campus one can get the notion that drug
and alcohol use is rampant or at least
popular. There are a lot of people,
howev~r, who have le3flled . to enjoy
themselves without the use of chemicals.
I guess you can call them organically
growing humans.
Anyway, a student organization
called SODA POP, formerly the Jurassic
to let us hear him practice.
If housing residents were more
responsible and considerate, perhaps there
would not be a need for this Housing rule.
Two years ago, I remember a Housing
policy that suggested we talk to each of
our neighbors if we were planning a party
to make sure it was okay. This doesn't
ever seem to happen. Now, more and
more residents are practicing their
instruments in the dorms, and few (if any)
are considerate enough to check with the
other residents to see if there are any
objections. I don't mind an occasional
party, but it is impossible for me to study
with the ~ual bass from below. If he
would buy a pair of headphones, he could
practice all day everyday and not bother
me. Instead, I am forced to complain
about noise levels, which is never
pleasant, and I am rarely taken seriously.
Group, is out there. SODA POP organizes
drug and alcohol free activities for the
"Evergreen community.
Right now and fOr the rest of the
month a memorial wall is being put
together. do- the first floor of the CAB

What to do about the lack of bands?
There are many ways to get bands back on
campus: get a student organization to
sponsor a show in 1A300, submit works to
the student music concert, arrange shows
on the field and in the Community Center
as Housing events. These seem to be
better venues for live bands than the
dorms, being able to accommodate more
people and higher noise levels.
There are many possibilities if
people are truly interested in continuing
the Evergreen creative tradition, but it
takes planning, organization, and
responsibility. I sincerely hope that we can
come to an agreement on this issue, but let
us l10t forget that Evergreen is, flfSt and
foremost, an institution of higher
education, and we are here to learn.

GLENGARRY GLEN ROSS
DIRECTED BY JAMES FOLEY
CAPITAL MALL CINEMAS
by Manuel Miranda
In David Marnet'~ own words,
"Capitalism is an idea whose time has
come and gone." And in the new film
version of his 1984 Pulitzer Prize
winning play, Glengarry Glen Ross, he
and director James Foley tell us, through
illustration, why.
The story takes place in a small real
estate firm that is down on its luck. We
are introduced to four recognizable human
personalities represented in the four
salesmen of the fmn. Dave Moss (Ed
Harris) is the man who is bitter and angry
at the cruelty of the system, but never
realizes how much his own actions
epitomize that system. George Aaronow
(Alan Arkin) is the Stupid, the person who
shows no trace of ever having a mind of
his own. Richard Roma (Al Pacino) is the
Ubermensch, the confidence man who
believes he is above all the trivialities of
other people's lives. And [mally, there is
Shelley "the Machine" Levine (Jack
,,', .
l,.emmon), the old-timer who grasps onto
the days when he was top salesman, and
. doesn't realize that since he cannot "be a
man" in the business, the business no
longer wants him.
The importance of the fact that they
are all white males can be argued, but that
point is made trivial as the film unfolds
the real despair and anger of these men.
The characters are all machines, humans
drained of humanity, who receive all the
orders from the downtown untouchables in
comer offices. The Man Upstairs is
portrayed by Alec Baldwin, who puts the
pressure on mercilessly: top salesman gets

a Seville, second wins a set of steak
knives, third-place man gets fued.
ThrQughout the movie, the men
desperately try to save their positions, and
some of them are pushed to the point of
criminal action.
.
With this movie, Marnet and Foley
expose the futility and dreariness of life as
a pawn in the capitalist system. None of it
is pretty, from the scenes of dark rainy
nights, unromantic bars, imposing city
noise and loud trains to the lives of the
men themselves. All share the same office
space, but none are united, no one offers
help to another, and no one is at all
unwilling to backstab or ripoff any of his
co-workers. These men live on wits and
wonhless leads on potential buyers. Like
the capitalists, each man is for himself,
and only the dirtiest and most amoral end
up on top. The camaraderie between the
men at best consists of conversations
about their utter dissatisfaction with their
jobs. At worst it is a sneering, yelling and
swearing match. "Fuck you, cocksucker"
is not an uncommon exchange between the
salesmen.
Out of this darkness, the men create
huge lies. They tell their customers that
Butoh dancers invoke chaos and crisis
by L.N. Pearson
To shed old skin, to. slough it off
and ' then the body beneath it, is tender,
new, possibly painful. To shed old
traditions and rebel causes the world to
become chaotic. To be so frighteningly
aware is very possibly painful. "Japanese
Butoh dance is in the spirit of this
rebellion, to pass off the external layers
and masks, to rediscover the body," says
Joan Laage, artistic director of Seattle's
Dappin' Butoh Troupe. The word
"dappin'" derives from a similar word in
Japanese meaning to shed, and eludes to
the art of transformation, to the stripping
down of facades, of wa -- harmony, so
that body and spirit may emerge.
On stage, dancers' white-painted
bodies clothed in tattered rags move
slowly with feet bound by gravity, ftsts
clenched, faces pulled long toward the
earth. After the devastation wreaked by
wwn, this avant-garde dance movement
rejected not only the imposition of
western power, brutality, and ideas, but
rebuked the ttaditional Japanese culture
as well. Laage describes Butoh as "Born
out of the necessity to rediscover the
sensual Japanese body and spirit before it
'was molded by non-Japanese forces and
tamed by reason. It is a dance in which
movement is derived from images, in
which performer and audience experience
the power of energy moving through the
body and permeating the atmosphere."
Though the body in Butoh may be
Treat
seen as a "map of social illness"; the
austerity of the images and movement
seems more related to the ceremony and
rituals of much older traditions that
celebrate the grotesque, the chaotic, the
transformations between life and death.
Festivals and older theatrical forms such
as Kabuki, which unearthed the
timelessness of memory and revived
intuition rather than logic, have
influenced Butoh greatly. Butoh is never
trance-like, rather it is "super-aware."
Butoh explores the mysteries of becoming
and of the meeting between future and
present
Dappin' Butoh's "Four Seasons in
a Rock Garden" will be performed
Saturday night in the Experimental
Theater. The piece extols the ripeness of
nature, the moment it twists into
energy of nature emerging again. The
images of contortion, crisis and conflict
move in prolonged time as if amorphous,.
but the outbursts of the body reveal the
transformations as the interception of
body and spirit
"For the Japanese in particular, but
perhaps for other Asians as well,
watching a Butoh performance gives
them a sense of the familiar, but of that
which has been forgotten or undesired in
memory.
The
grotesque
images,
unpleasant emotions, and fragmentation in
Butoh are quite different than the
traditional harmony (wa) that is the
aesthetic and social foundation of
o
Japanese culture," says Laage.
Though a large number of Japanese
do not like Butoh, it has nevertheless
become highly influential in Japan and
abroad.
"Butoh is a dance movement -- I
try to keep away from the word 'form.'
'Form' is something that has always
defined much of dance. But now Butoh,
unto itself, has changed the way people
think about dance, about how it can be
made, how it can be performed."
For American audiences, Butoh taps into
the memory beyond culture and into the
intuitive "of the primeval unconsciousness," says Laage, "But it won't
give you a nice neat package in which
you understand everything on a cognitive
level." ,

Blackwash
Theater recommends Beirut for mature
audiences only.
they are presidents of companies, and are
offering beautiful pieces of land (which in
reality are worthless). Typical ofCJpitalist
society, the talk about the product and the
actual truth o( the product are ' grossly
disproportionate.
The actors' . talent is what the
intensity of this movie runs on. AI Pacino
is powerful as the Nietschze-like salesman.
He seems to show some sympathy towards
humanity in · his little excursions into
barroom philosophizing and his concern
for Levine, but in the end is proven to
care only.about "closing the deal"
Jack Lemmon is perfect in his
portrayal of Levine, the pathetic has-been.
His face contorts from grace-like
happiness to desperation in seconds. He
seems congenial, and seems to only make
money so he can help out with his
daughter's hospital bills. Later, his selfish
pride is exposed and it is shoved back in
his face.
The movie does not offer any hope
to the viewer. It is only a description of
the actual problems we face in the
mechanization of life in the capitalist
society. Since the movie is playing at the
same time the presidential debates are
being shown, it seems to be saying that a
"man upstairs," no matter how much
change he will promise, will not change
the economic system that values not the
human but the functional. It is not easy to
disassociate yourself from this mm~ Any
of these working men could be a father,
uncle, grandfather, brother or someday
maybe even you.

What in the hell is PLUJ, you ask?
It's Olympia's live call-in trivia game

Joy) is played between 7 and 9 p.m. on
the last Tuesday of the month.
The Reverend Bill, Dave 414,
Spooky Stewart and the King of Cydonia

over the air for callers to answer.
Questions cover a variety of topics
