"Diversity is m.ore than color, but
since that was a major topic wt year, I
thought we'd kick off with Dr. Ali Rashad
Umrani, to talk about · racism," said Tom
Mercado, Director of Student Activities.
As part of a program to address
diversity issues here at Evergreen, there
will be Diversity Training Workshops
offered for the Evergreen community
throughout the 1992-1993 academic school
year. Mercado has been concerned about
Evergreen's diversity problems for
sometime, and credits the Women of Color
.co.a1ition for making the issue a priority
during last year's racial tensions.
"Evergreen considers itself a
community where diversity is welcomed
and multiculturalism is practiced. One of
the things that came out of last year was
here was nothing tangible, concrete that
these were the things we do to bring about
awareness and discussion and the Women
of Color Coalition helped to bring that
about," Mercado.

clay, and the clay is keeping [the leak
from spreading].
.
The leak appears to be contained so
there will be no danger factor for anyone
or anything, according to Wark.
There is still contaminated soil
sitting under a big tarp that the college
must deal with. According to Vice
President Les Puree, the college is waiting
for a response from the Department of
Ecology of how to dispose of the
contaminaled soil.
"The college will make plans to
remove the soil once the final lests are
done and they know more," Wark said.
Actions can't be taken until the
college is able to acquire funding for the
project.
Rather than waiting for the 1992
LegisI3ture to complete the biennial capital
budget which begins the funding for
college operations in July of 1993, other
"emergency routes" have been taken.
The Board of Trustees met on
Monday, August 31 and voted to let
President Jane Jervis declare an emergency
for the removal of contaminaled soil, thus
approving of the "automatic spending" for
this (if needed) for up to $50,000. So far
the estimated costs of replacing two tanks
is to be $257,000.
According to a news release from
the Office of College Relations,
"Evergreen has always been very
concerned about the environment. We've
been watching the viability of our tanks
very carefully, contacted the Dept. of
Ecology immediately after failing the

developed a proposal to provide diversity
workshops for the community of
Evergreen. The emphasis of the workshops
is to highlight and discuss how diversity
issues come up in day to day life on
campus and to develop tools to address
them constructively. There will be
discussions on the feelings ofguilt, gender
issues, sexual preference issues, interracial relationships as well as issues
concerning cwsism and the physically
challenged.
The money to fund this program was
earmarked by Les Purce, who was the
inlerim president of Evergreen, during the
91-92 academic year. $10,000 was
deposited into an account specifically to be
used to address diversity issues here at
Evergreen. As there are five thousand
dollars left in the fund, Mercado hopes
that students, faculty and staff will offer
input and ideas as to how the money
should be spent.
Bringing people together is another
goaJ of these diversity workshops. "Right
now we have people operating in little
pockets in the community, little
microcosms. We are hoping that bringing
these speakers out, we can get people into
the same room,so that they can feel
comfortable with expressing their
frustrations with the campus," Mercado
said
Mercado acknowledged the problem
in the past with most programs which
address multiculturalism is that when
people of diverse backgrounds get
together, they tend to be defensive and to
shut down, not able to communicate. He
also acknowledged the need for all groups

The Evergreen State College and
private contractors, Northwest Envirofield
Services of Seattle (NESS), found a leak
in one of the six fuel tanks located at the
college's maintenance shops, Sept. 11 of
this year, during a routine removal of the
tanks.
"Test pits around the tanks have
shown that the seepage hasn't spread more
than 65 feet from the point of leak in
some areas and no further than 20 feet in
other areas," said Mike Wark, Associate
Director in Office of College Relations.
OnceNESS was contacted they were
able to immediately start testing of the soil
around the tank~ to verify if there really
was a leak. Once they lifted the pavement
above the tanks, and were about four feet
down, they could smell the leak in the
soil, according to Wade.
"The tank is fine, it's [a leak] in the
pipelines." Wark said. It must have been
a real slow leak over several years,
otherwise a leak would've showed up,
since [campus maintenance] keeps a close
track of how much is used and supplied."
According to an October 2 news
release from ·' the Office of College
Relations, "Documents tracking the fuel
use never indicated leakage."
According to Wark, the leak is at
four feet down but has not penetrated the
soil above. Also it has not penetraled a
"dense layer of clay fourteen feet down,
they did tests in the clay and the clay is
clean, it's fme," Wark said.
"The clay is above the water table,
so the water won't be affected," Wark
added, "It looks like it will stay above the

According to the report, "Trust and
confidence in the security group by the
campus security has been severely
damaged by the actions of its members."
Incidents cited in the report include
an assault in A-dOrm last Halloween,
vigilantism, and an incident where students
surveyed and captured car vandals. The
report also urged that some qualified

against it.
Purse said, "the Board made the
decision that they [Public Safety
Department] would have all of the training
and be involved in everything, but they
would be unarmed officers." According to
Purse, guns would not be. allowed on
campus. However, Public Safety Officers
would be able to be trained in the use of
non-lethal weapons such as collapsible
batons and mace.

Flyers mobilize
campus action
by Stephanie Zero
The posting of various flyers on
campus and the defacement of a sign on
the Women of Color Coalition's (WOCC)
door sparked the catalyst for a meeting
held Friday Oct. 9, to discuss more
effective means of communication on
campus.
"We need to get out concerns so we
don ~t have to address our concerns on a
bulletin board," said Tom Mercado.
The meeting called by Art
Costantino, Vice President of Student
Affairs was attended by a number of
student groups, housing, and members of
the Administration.
There have been several
inflammatory flyers posted on campus,
such as "disempower rich white males"
and "cut your dreadlocks white boy you
have no suffering".
Costantino says that the defacement
of the sign on the WOCC door with
"white power" and other material "falls
more in the category of harassing
behavior."
Costantino agrees that posting flyers
is a first amendment right.
"We're taking this opportunity to
disagree (with flyers) and talk," said
Costantino. "If we disagree with speech
we need to remedy it with more speech."
Costantino wants to take a proactive
role instead of reactive one.
Several workshops are planned in
response to discussions of different student
groups last academic year, including the
WOCC and ' the Women's Center. (see
related story above.)
"Hopefully the speakers will allow
us to creale forums for dialogue," said
Mercado.
According to Mercado the idea of
the workshops is to provide tools to deal
with problems.
.
"When you bring a large group
together and start dealing with issues and
past ' history people get defensive,'~ said
Mercado. "People need to have a better
understanding of why things are before
they start lashing out at another group."

department is behind in reviewing student
applications, according to Georgette Chun,
Director of Financial Aid
"We've had a huge increase in
applications which is more than our staff
can handle," said Chun.
In addition, the need to "test and get
used to a new financial needs system" has

caused further delays, asserted -Chun.
Chun thinks that within the next
month the department will be able to
process an application within a week, an
improvement over the current waiting
period, but cautions that there may be
further delays next year.
"All of the federal fmancial aid
programs have been reauthorized and no
one has pinpointed exactly what it will
look like next year," said Chun.
Chun also anticipates an increase in
applications next year because Federal
reauthorization makes more students
eligible, though the funds available will
not increase.
Chun also said that the Financial Aid
Department "really appreciates the
patience that our students have shown us,"
and that "we tried our best to get our
awards out as best we can."

'Geoducks games come to · naught; teams still upbeat
but it bounced up and grazed her hand
before she sent it past the goalkeeper.
After a signal from the linesman the goal
was ruled "00 good" and the Geoducks
were sent back down field.
A minute .later, GilIanders beat two
defenders and sliced another one into the
net to prove she didn't need her hands to
score. This sparked the team to life but .
time ran out and the final score was 5-2 to
the Vikings.
The women are nearing the end of
their season and have only three home
matches left. TIley are looking forward to
hosting Central Washington on Saturday,

On Friday, Oct. 16, Evergreen will
be the host of the United States Under-20
Men's National Team Coach Bobby
Howe. Howe, whose National Team
recently qualified for the 1993 Youth
World Cup, will be conducting a practice
for the Geoduck women's soccer team at
3:30 p.m.
"I am delighted to have the
opportunity to work with the women,"
comments Howe, "I believe that under
new head coach Jan Smisek's guidance the
program has the impetus it will need to
compete with the top teams in the
country."
The Evergreen women play in
District .l of the National Association of
Intercollegiate Athletics, which includes
defending National Champion Pacific
Lutheran University.
On Oct 7, the Evergreen women's
team hosted Pacific Lutheran. The
Geoducks played a strong defensive game
and held the Lutes scoreless for the first
thirty minutes.
After an unfortunate defensive error,
the fU'St goal was notched by Pacific
Lutheran. But oot two minutes later a
second goal was scored. Another tally was
added just before the half to put the

Evergreen team behind by 3 at the half.
Despite thrilling play by midfielders Sara
Gagnon and Debbie Butler the Geoducks
eventually fell to the Lutes 7-0.
The optimistic team traveled to
Portland on Sunday, Oct 11, to meet the
Portland State Vikings at Civic Stadium.
The Geoducks found themselves one goal
down after twenty minutes but rallied to
even the score three minutes before the
half. Leading scorer Kelly Lindgren
slammed the ball in the net off of a cross
from Kristen Gillanders.
The Geoduck women found
themselves trailing again in the second
half, this time by a margin of three goals.
Undaunted, the team pushed forward to try
to score and get back into the game.
Kristen Gillanders fought to control
a fast ball at the edge of the penalty area,

The Evergreen men's soccer team
lost two heartbreakingly close games last
week against Seattle University and
Portland State University.
On Wednesday, the Geoducks and
Seattle University held each other
scoreless up until the seventy minute
mark, when SU took advantage of an
Evergreen turnover and made a through
pass to a Seattle forward who scored from
six yards.
With renewed intensity, the
Geoducks sought an equalizing goal. In
the last minute of the game, Evergreen's
Scott Foss, through an extraordinary effort,
managed to get the ball five yards in front
of the goal. His shot was tipped away just
as it was about to cross into the goal. Foss
was able to come up with the loose ball
and ripped a second shot which,
unbelievably, hit the goal post, and
ricochetted outside of the penalty area and
onto the feet of an Evergreen player who
was working the ball back into the fray

•

around the goal mouth as the final whistle
blew.
On Sunday, Evergreen travelled to
Portland to play PSU in Portland's Civic
Stadium. The Geoducks spent a good deal
of the first half learning to play on
artificial turf, struggling to gain composure
and initiate their passing game.
Meanwhile, PSU scored an improbable
goal from 24 yards, and capitalized on a
turnover in the goal box to put the score at
2-0 at the half.
In the second half, Evergreen began
to pass the ball with more confidence,
putting increased pressure on PSU's
fullbacks. With twelve minutes left in the
game sweeper Simon Wheeldon came out
of the back to delicately flick across from
Alex Sigman inside the fore post, to
narrow PSU's lead to one. Evergreen
played all out for the remaining minutes,
most of the play taking place in the PSU
half, but were not able to put in an
equalizing goal.
Coach Arno Zoske noted that "the
game was as good a scrimmage as we've
had," pointing out that the game didn' t
count for district or league standings, or a
playoff berth. Despite the loss, and the
fact that none of the young fans asked for
their autographs, the Geoeys were in good
spirits, as the game was over and they
were already looking forward to this
week's games. The Geoducks play
Linfield College on Friday Oct. 16 at 4
p.m. at Evergreen.
Pat Uhtoff is a member of the
Geoducks.

Confessions of a stinking,·bloody
by Setb "Skippy" Long
*Theme: New and random thoughts
on the death of a culture·
,
NOTE: The following is a transcript
of a recording made at a meeting of
M.E.A.T. (Meat Eaters Anonymous are
Trying) and belonging to Skip Daniels, the
celebrated champion of civil liberties and
constitutional freedom. It was obtained by
his c1Qse friend and artistic collaborator,
Seth Long. Mr. Long claims to have
suddenly and mysteriously lost contact
with the speaker after this recording was
:11l\l<te and has promised a thorough search.
More details to come -Ed.
"Hi. My name is Skip D. and,
(choke) I'm a carnivore. It has been over
five hours since I last ate meat."
-"Hi Skip!"

"It started with hot dogs when I was
around three or four. Gradually, I moved
up to hamburgers and meat loaf. When
these could no longer satisfy me, I
discovered steak:. This was my first true
vice'.

There is a theory-reality gap which
has existed at Evergreen since its
inception. One which threatens the validity
of this great twenty year liberal
educational experiment and which has
tainted the impeccable reputation this
school should command. That gap exists
between the theory that many people from
many different political, racial, economic
and ideological backgrounds could come
together to work through substantive issues
and the reality that only "open-minded,"
left-leaning radicals with enough financial
backing to take such a chance came
together to do so.
While the debate wages on, I, Dr.
Dick, will tell you, the microwave society,
how to right this ship with the expediency
of micro-zapped popcorn. The answer is
simple: A fully funded, Rose-Bowl
contending Pac 10 (or 11) Fighting
Geoduck football team.
Now, to all you nay-sayers who
commonly bitch and gripe spuriously, I
say shut up and hear me out Let's face it,
there's nothing like a good manly game
based on war to attract young porn-porn
waving Republicans to apply in droves.
This would quickly even up those
pointless "how left is left" seminars which
degenerate into panty waist P.C.
bickerings between factions who should be
working together.
Secondly, with good uniform design
(three dimensional art buffs, here's your
chance) rappers and gangsters would soon
be sporting those cool Fighting Geoduck
jerseys and hats. This translates into tons
of free advertising and revenue from their
sale. These monies in conjunction with the
extra state funding we would receive could
be used to fund the team.
Furthermore, this MTV notoriety coupled with a greater mainstream
acceptance of Evergreen - would be sure
to attract more people of color to our
campus. This would thereby end the
extreme racial imbalance of this school
and also the hypocritical discussions of
race by predominantly white seminar
groups.
Cheerleaders would also be a fme
addition 10 seminar, providing Evergreen
feminists ample reassurance of their
suspicions and plenty of target practice for
their frustrations.
Mind you, the only way this thing
will work is if we get enough money
together to buy off the players we need to
make a good first year run at the Rose
Bowl. The skeptics around bere are sure to
want 10 defame this venture at its offset,
so quick results are a mUSL We'll need an

all out letter writing campaign to pester
those alumni who have somehow stumbled
into money. Furthermore, campus
trustafarians will have to work quickly to
badger their parents into forking over
several million or so.
Then we' lI have to get a coach.
Jerry Garcia seems on the verge of calling
the Grateful Dead quits. Maybe he would
like to spend his rehabilitation psyching up
young jocks in the cool South Puget
Sound forests.
Finally, we'll need to take the rest of
the money to comb high schools and
colleges for top-notch players. Several
high priced automobiles will be needed in
order to secure these fine jocks as bona
fide Geoduck requisitions. This will also
make instant fans of the local luxury car
salespeople.
The opponents of this proposal will
most assuredly cry foul when they hear
about the large amounts of money being
spent on extra curricular activities, and
many will cry out that they don't want
" those" kind of people coming into their
comfortable community. But, the fact
remains that the real world is not full of
people which we can pick and
. choose ...and in the end, the curriculum
here at Evergreen is intended to prepare us
for that real world. With that in mind,
several million is a small price to pay in
order to attract the people who represent
the political, racial, economic and
ideological backgrounds of that real
world ... and to provide a better education to
all of us by the consideration of all of
.
those views.
Until then, see you in Pasadena.
Your Friend; Dr. Dick.
Dr. Richard Cranium (Mike Bales)
has a Doctorate in Social Discourse.

You see, I could deal with the
occasional burger and could even tum
them ~ down, now and then. I was just a
casual eater. But steak, oh-h-h-h
steeeeaaak. Urn. I was ·powerless in it' s
grasp. It called to me, begged me to slice
inlO it' s warm, moist, pink tenderness. I
would order them medium rare and give
them just a dash of salt and maybe even a
splash of steak sauce for added flavor
(hey! I am, after all, white-bred). It got so
that I couldn't go to a restaurant without
at least looking at the steak section of the
menu.
Soon, even steaks weren't enough
for my habit. One evening, a (former)
good friend introduced me to fIllet mignon
and that's when I began my true fall to the
bottom of the barrel. My pallet was
overwhelmed with that all-encompassing
deliciousness. A nice, round, plump fIllet
wrapped in hot, juicy bacon strips cut nice
and thick. Oh, just thinking about it still
makes my mouth water. (Speaker drools
on microphone)
During my frrst week at college I
made an attempt at recovery by eating
only vegetarian meals. This plan was
swiftly stomped on by the powers of The
Deli which has, for over two years, acted
as an enabler and an accomplice to my
illness.
To make matters worse, one of my
roommates that frrst year was the son of a

1~ TTENTION

•

Ca-n....l1VOre
farmer who cut and prepared his own
meats, from Polish sausage 10 leg of lamb
to veal cutlets. The calling was too much
for my feeble will and I was soon gorging
myself at his table.
Then I discovered Pizza Time. Not
only would they help me continue my road
to ruin, but they were happy to do it!
Getting that "quick fIx" was never easier.
These guys would deliver it straight to my
door! Even after three or four address
changes they still seem to remember me
and my regular phone orders for pizzaavec-flesh. The horror.
Well, anyway, here I am - an addict.
I have tried to be good and P.C. but I .
continue to fall off the wagon, which is
why I'm here speaking to you all. Please,
help me kick this vile, disgusting and
genuinely evil habit before it completely
consumes me. Thank you."
NOTE: That is the end of the
recording which is also the last time that
the speaker was seen in public. A formal
investigation of his mysterious
disappearance will soon be underway. If
you have any leads as to the whereabouts
of Skip, please contact White Bread
Productions immediately. Thanx. -Ed.
Seth "Skippy" Long is a really swell
guy not to mention an eligible one ...so if
you got the ''fourth week no-nookie blues"
come up to the CPJ and get his number.

Guess what? I have a surprise for
you. It's not earth shattering, nor does it
involve an improvement in your lives, or
the community. I got a new job. No, it
isn't a cabinet position in the Clinton
White House, nor does it involve making
lots of money. It's much more mundane.
I've been hired by a local fmn that
produces television commercials. I'll sit in
a room with two editing suites (lots of
TVs and VCRs 10 you non-media literate
types) and cassettes with 8000
commercials. My duty will be to package
the already completed commercials into
predetermined sequences and send them to
the six major cable markets in Western
Washington. Pretty intriguing, don't you
think?
Don't get me wrong, there are
people who would kill to be in my
position. I may be a peon to the eyes of
all around me during the work day, but

600 tons

rQ

this is an oPIXXiunity that sOme PeoPle
would give their right arm for.
The reason I've brought up my
incredible incidence of luck, is that it deals
with my distaste for a large chunk of
television programming. My last article
listed many of the reasons for my distrust
and apathy for the programs. And now, a
couple of weeks later, the same entity pays
for my room and board. My shoe string
budget remains the same, but have I sold
out my beliefs for a chance to learn? Have
I sold out to the fust bidder?
If you ask anyone related to the
media (an employer, employee, or
someone seeking to be hired in this fIeld),
they will pass on to you that the field is
rather exclusive. Not everyone makes
$100,000 a year as a starting salary. Not
everyone has their fust screenplay
produced, much less read by an agent - the
fIeld remains closed for many.
Throughout my college career, since
fInding that I wanted to be involved in the
media business in some fashion, I've
studied the intricacies as they have been
made available 10 me, worked on a
nationally televised program, and have
begun to seek a graduate school to refine
my skills. Durin~ the whole duration, I felt

HOW MUCH GARBAGE IS A
LOT OF GARBAGE? The next time you
walk by the clock lOwer, look up and
consider for a moment what it would be
like to fIll the whole clock tower up from the basement to the 4th floor - with
unpacked garbage like the garbage in your
garbage can. In a year, we fiUthe clock
tower up with that much garbage - fIve
times over.
That's a~ lot of garbage I!! 600 to 800 tons
per year.
Approximately 35 to 40 percent of
all that trash is paper (does that surprise
you?), 15 to 20 percent is food waste, 5 to
7 percent is glass, 8 to 10 percent is tin
and aluminum, and a whopping 25-28

garbage

percent is non-recyclable.
So what does this all mean? It
means that if your serious about reducing
waste, pay attention to what you buy produce less garbage. Secondly, recycle all
you can.
Here is what we recycle on campus:
·CARDBOARD
·BOTTLES
·CANS
·COMPUTER PAPER
·NEWSPAPER
.ALL MIXED WASTE PAPER
·BATfERIES
·LASER CARTRIDGES
What we do not recycle is:
·CARBON PAPER

about media, but in a way it explains my
dichotomy. Nothing gives me, nor any of
my friends and fellow students, more of a
relief ·than to find something to do that
you love and know many aren't too
interested in it, or even give two bits about
it (as I feel for poetry). I may have
learned many things as a student, but there
are far more things out there in our
community, and beyond, that I need to go
through. Let's hope I, and all of you,
make it in your own way. Actually, I just
hope they give me a promotion, maybe to
the janitorial department.

they have been. Granted, there is always
the possibility of suffering hangovers and
guilt, but hangovers are rem~iable imd
guilt is ignomble.
So you wake up on Sunday morning,
try to piece together what the hell you did,
and discover that, along with the feeling of
having chewed on a dead mt all evening,
your mind refuses to function in any
focused way whatsoever. You make the
coffee and do a quick check for unknown
scars. You discuss damage control with
your roommates. You try to make plans to
get some work done, or something, during
the day. You can't even make it to the
shower, so you end up ordering pizza,
staring out the window, and babbling.
As it is quite likely that your
roommates held their own in consuming
intoxicating substances, they lay on the
couch and stare as well. Being the
intelligent, high-minded college student
you are, you should be discussing socialist
politics or how offensive the CPJ comics
page is.
But instead you end up talking about
dirt clods. Yes, dirt clods. If you weren't
thinking about them on Sunday morning,
into Sunday afternoon, and even in the
evening, it's probably because you were
eating dirt clods down at the organic farm.
(Yes, that's right, you were spotted eating
dirt clods. I won't say who told me.)
When you order your pizza, seeing
as you can't fathom cooking, you ask for
dirt clods on your pizza. The woman
taking the order must have thought it was
a joke, as there are no dirt clods when the
pizza arrived. Luckily, there were some
right outside your door. You offered them
to passersby, but no takers. Some,
apparently, had already had their dirt clods
for the day. Others, however, seemed

surprised that you even dared suggest that
they didn't have their own.
And this is the observance of the
Sabbath. Spreading the word. Making
people think about dirt clods. They'll

Dorm band scene squelched by prohibition
by Loren D. Rupp
Campus Housing opened about a
month ago, and hopefully everyone is
settled in and is finding a niche for
themselves. Even though I have been here
for several years, I have been having some
difficulty in feeling comfortable this year,
primarily due to a lack of recreational
opportunities on campus. Things seem
pretty quiet in general. If it weren't for the
crazy folks in J-dorm, and a few very kind
meadow parties, this place would be about
as exiting as St. Martins during exam
week. So here's a couple of my specific
grievances with Housing, and how they
wield a surprising amount of control on
our home.
A most glaring absence this year is
the formerly well-used pool table. An Adorm institution, the pool pit was a great
place to take a break, procrastinate, mingle
with EF students, or just loiter. But the
table has been covered all year,
supposedly due to vandalism. However a
closer look reveals that the table is in fine
shape; the story about the bowling ball
being dropped from the second floor was
just a hoax . . All that is needed is some
balls and a cue, and presto! - hours of
endless entertainment Maintenance has
been stalling on this, saying that they want
to refelt the table. It is supposed to be
done this week. So if there is no pool
table by the time you read this, give
Housing Maintenance a call at x6114, and
tell them to get on the stick.
Another major bummer about our
scene is the total lack of bands in Housing
this year. As you may know, Evergreen
has a long tradition of live music on
campus. Many of you may remember a
little band called Nirvana, who got their
start playing in the Mods a few short years
ago. Their subsequent rocket to
superstardom brought us a little notoriety.

Evergreen was mentioned seveml times as
in a Rolling Stone article on the Northwest
music scene. Now regardless of what you
think about the whole Nirvanl}
phenomenon, you have to admit that live
music is now one of our claims to fame.
But that is now being squelched.
With the once-and-for-all closing of
the Un-cola, Olympia bands now have
little options of places to play. An
orientation week show in the dorms had to
be canceled after Housing Directors Bob
Carlson and Jeannie Chandler, in typical
bad cop/good cop fashion, threatened the
hosts with eviction and arrest if they went
on with their party. Since then, nary a
peep of · live amplified music has been
heard in the dorms.
Housing is pointing to a rule
prohibiting bands, that went on the books
last year. Of course the rule was never
enforced (like so many rules such as
alcohol policy, dogs without leashes), and
so naturally no one complained. I believe
that this policy stands in opposition to the
will of the majority of the people that live
here, as reflected by the petition signed by
over 500 residents in support of campus
bands.
Of course there are a few issues
relating to bands - alcohol consumption,
noise, etc. - that need to be examined. It
has been suggested that a forum be set up
to address these issues and get bands back
on campus. If the community center is to

be utilized, then Housing needs to make it
available to those who will be using it.
Chandler has promised that a survey will
be mailed out to all residents, asking their
opinion on the bands issue. They should
be in your mailboxes this week. And once
again, you can make a difference. If you
haven't received a survey by the time you
read this, then call up Housing at x6132 or

Bob Carlson at x6117 and give them your
opinion on bands at Evergreen.
Now don't get me wrong, I really do
love this place. We have a lot of privileges
here that other schools would only dream
about. I just hope that Evergreen remains
a great place to live.

Community.

Women's Cent"er: Don't be intimidated

by Amanda Ray
I remember, when I came to
Evergreen two years ago, that I was (shall
I say? ..) intimidated by the Women's
Center. A strange feeling, considering the
name of the center is the "Women's
Center" , and conSidering that I am a
woman, one would think I would be
welcome there. I guess thoughts like, "Am
I a militant feminist?" "Am I caught up on
all of women's current issues?" and "Is
my sexual orientation the 'right one'?"
were cruising through my mind as I
pondered entering the door of the
women's center.
So, I wish to take this opportunity to
answer the above questions. First of all,
no, you don't have to be a "radical
feminist" to set foot in the center. And if
you ask me just what exactly a "mdical
feminist" is - I really couldn't answer you
in a clear and concise manner anyway.
The truth is, there are many "feminisms,"
and many women express themselves as
feminists in many different ways (Hint,
hint - do some of your own reading to
explore this issue).
Are you caught up on all the current
issues that affect women in this country,
and in the entire world? I know that I'm
not, butI'm learning. One of the Women's
Center's main purposes is to act as a
resource center, we have subscriptions to
Ms. and Off Our Backs, as well as a

library of books by and about women that .....- - - - - - - - - - -_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _""1
you can even check out from us. So, come
inform yourself!
Finally, we welcome heterosexual,
bisexual, and lesbian women at the center.
And if you, are like many, and haven't
quite figured out what the hell your sexual
orientation is yet, well, we welcome you
too!
The Women's Center has some neat
things coming up ... tonight (yes, Thursday,
Oct 15) we are co-sponsoring with the
South Sound Feminist Lecture Series a
showing of the film, "Still Killing Us
Softly." It is a about women's images in

discussion facilitated by faculty member
Sarah Williams. It will be shown in Cab

"Because a woman's work is never

or repetitious and we're the flCst to lose
our job and what we look like is more
important than what we do and if we get

I don't know who wrote this or

relate to the fact that women are often

they do. I had this up on my wall for
about a year before it occurred to me that
maybe men face equally as distressing
problems as women do. Ever since the
women's liberation movement became
more viSible through mass media and

We realize that people do find and

WRITTEN BY ALAN BOWNE
BLACKWASH THEATER
by Sara StefYeos
Sex! Beirul is an experimental play
written by A1an Bowne. (By experimental
play, I mean: don't expect Our Town.)
The plot chronicles the plight of lovers
in the face of an apocalyptic, plagueinfested future. And sex. The Blackwash

unexpected flares of humor studded like
tiny jewels into a dense web of agony
and tension.
Beirut is a beautifully written play.

theater, willing to be naked onstage,

performing this play. Which is not to

THE 'CONQUEST OF PARADISE
PARAMOUNT PICTURES
CAPITAL MALL CINEMAS
by Brad Watkins
The existence of a single individual
may seem insignificant when compared to
. the whole of natural history. However, it
is not always the actions ofthe person, bot
the wake of their impact which matters. It
makes very little difference whether those .
accomplishments are good or bad, so long ·
as they contribute something to future
. generations.
This is the primary assumption in
the new Ridley Scott . mm, 1492: The
Conquest of Paradise. Although Christopher Columbus is considered by many to
be a brutal man who terrorized natives and
began the destruction of a New World, the
film depicts Columbus as a humanitarian.
The story opens. around 1490, at a
time when the Spanish Inquisition burned
people at the stake for having different
beliefs and dreams. Columbus (Gerard
Depardieu) is portrayed as a man horrified
by the instability of his country.
Columbus passionately tries to
persuade church and' state to fund his
expedition. Columbus is persistent enough

to finally receive an mterview with
Isabella (Sigourney Weaver), who doesn't
grant the expedition at fust; but changes
her mind later on. Columbus, having won
the necessary materials, sets sail for the
New World early in 1492.
From here, among beautiful images
of ocean and sunsets, Columbus is confronted with the problems of being a
leader. He wards off a near mutiny by
men who are afraid of going past known
limits - both physically and psycho-

reached, a .dramatic scene throws Columbus lQld his men upon the ~h. They

after one of their men beComes incredibly
. iiI. Columbus decides to leave 39 men
. behind to build a fort, and takes some
natives with him.
Columbus returns to Spain a hero
and is given more men and funds to
establish a ftrmer Spanish claim on the
new land. They return to the New World
to find the men left ·behind slain from a
supposed Indian attack. Columbus' second,
(a rough and brutal man who rides a black
horse with clothes to match), insists that
these "monkeys~' are lying, so they must
be shot. Columbus refuses, igniting a
power struggle between the two men that
lasts thrOughout the entire film. Together
the Spaniards build a mission, which
symbolizes the introduction of the modem
world into a foreign land. Everything is
beautifully shot, music booms, and all of
it fits together very nicely.
However, the pleasantries don't last
long. Columbus's second hacks a native to
bits on the pretense of stolen goods. Of
course the natives don't appreciate this,
and full scale war ensues. Columbus tries
desperately tl) keep things together. He

Wonderboy Walsh can't say "shit" in the newspaper

by Seth "Skippy" Long
I know, I said I wouldn't do it
anymore but. but, you had to have seen it.
So pure, simple and utterly ridiculous. It
embodied everything I've always enjoyed
about the show and m~. It was the true
essence - Bev.
First of all let's make something
clear, I love this show. It is absolutely the
best thing on TV. And normally I would
discuss the entire show but this one had
mCR sub-{)locs than you could shake an
AK-47 at so let's stick with the biggie.
The show opens with Brandon hard
at work on his editorial for the Blaze as
both Andrea and Gil (new guy) hover,
anxiously awaiting the finished J?iece.
Brandon's story fades into a narrative (big

film word) about the events of the
preceding week.
It appears that during a football
game at Shaw H.S., a rival school in
South central, two spectators were fatally
shot in a gang fight and that West Heverly
has decided to forfeit their game the
following weekend This throws Brando~
("he's such a nice boy'') into a tizzy flt
about "what's really at issue here".
He meets a fellow writer, Jordan,
from Shaw and the two proceed to scheme
of ways to get the game back on a~ain.
Brandon visits Jordan on hiS own
"turf' and the two decide to publish sideby-side editorials in each other's papers
about the shootings, gang violence and the
cancellation. Gil throws a large monkey
wrench into the works when he deems
Jordan's editorial too full of "obscenities"

to publish (what happened to the First
Amendment?). But, have heart True
Believers, WonderBoy Walsh does not
give up that easily.
After getting rid of Andrea and Gil,
Brandon proceeds to re-layout the
newspaper complete with both his and
Jordan's rewritten (sanitized, censored)
editorials and publishes it.
The very next day ...Brandon is in
deep feces. Apparently his editorial
contained an open invitation to Shaw
students to attend We!:t Beverly's dance
("Pigskin Prom'') that weekend and this
doesn't sit sci well with West Beverly.
In order for the story to go
anywhere, the dance gees on as scheduled
with the exception of added security
guards. But all heck begins to break loose
when Jordan calls saying that carloads of

drunk students ~ black students from
Shaw, the ones Brandon invited - are
headed for West Beverly making them
sound like Hurricane Andrew.
Well, the all-white secUrity guards
give the kids a bit of trouble at the door,
letting rich-looking white kids in but
keeping them · out, until Drandon and
Jordan come to save the day.
The dance tries to go on amidst the
tension until it b~ks into a standoff
between the two rival schools. Not even
WonderBoy Walsh can save this one. No,
it takes a woman. Brandon's new
girlfriend, to make thi., save. She invites
the Shaw guys to dance and Donna et al
soon follow suit.
Suddenly, as if in a dream, the dance

see Bev page 12

tracks down the men who conspired with
his second. Each of the conspirators .is
ev~~tually ~xec~ted. The ~nd commits
SUICide by J~pmg off a 'ihff.
After thmgs are brought back under
control, Columbus sends some men back
to Spain. They inform the authorities of
Columbus's ' atrOCities, requesting that
Columbus be replaced at once. Columbus
is brought back to Spain and thrown into
prison for six years, and somebody else is
given credit for the initial discovery of
America.
The story concludes with Columbus's release from prison. Queen Isabella
allows him to complete one last voyage,
on the condition that he search another
part of the continent On the final expedition, Columbus discovers the Pacific
Ocean. The mm closes in on an aged and
tired Columbus, looking into an orange
sunset. reciting memoirs of the experiences
to his son, Fernando.
As a whole, 1492: The Conquest of
Paradise is a well-planned film. While
some people are going to debate the politica1 and historical facts of this movie, it
does hold together extremely well. If
nothing else, the film provides its viewer
with an adventurous two hours and eight
minutes of excitement The cinematography itself is exceptionally good. The
colors and scenes are vibrant, colorful, and
at times very powerful. I want to emphasize that this is not a flashy film by any
means, but a great piece of work considering the usual cheapness of similar
past attempts. The various art departments
in the picture did a great job of illustrating
the period. Ridley Scott utilizes the same
effective eye for composition and character as seen in all his fIlms, (Blade
Runner, Thelma and Louise, and Alien).
The acting is superb. I cannot imagine any
actor besides Gerard Depardieu providing
us with a more convincing character,
whether factual or not, of Columbus.
For those of you who refuse to see
this movie on principal, I would encourage
you to think about how cluttered history
is. While the priests and scribes in Spain
wrote a particularly nasty account of
C-()hfmbus, it is important to remember
that such men were against him from the
very beginning. For example, they insisted

lESe campus quietly .e xhibits porcelain artistry
by Shannon Gray
It's a basic law of physics - what
goes up must come down. Similarly, what
goes in must come out. For all of the
glamour and hype surrounding what we
eat and where we eat it, discussion about
what and where we defecate is lacking.
Most of us are stranded on this campus for
the better part of a day without the
comfort of a private 100. Use this guide to
plan ahead and you'll never have to wait
in line again.
The Library Building restrooms are
second in size only to the main floor Rec
center restrooms. Even so, the ones across
from the library on the main floor can fill
up sometimes. Empty stalls might be
found by going up or down one floor.
During the day a sure bet is the fourth
floor. If you're female checkout the johns
behind the classrooms in the SW part of
the building. In the library and on floors
one and two these have large separate
lounges. I'm not sure what these were
intended for when the building was built
but they make a nice rendezvous spot.
Two boxes of sheet music that have been
in one of these lounges for at least two
years suggests they would make a good
band practice room as well.
If you are looking for good graffiti
the CAB is the place to go. Men's on the
Greenery level wins the Best Graffiti
award for now, but Women's on the top
floor is gaining ground. Look for art work
strikingly similar to some of the CPJ's
cartoonists work. All Women's on all
floors of the CAB have lounges. Greenery
level Women's has a mirror that wa~

A quiet moment in a campus 100. photo by Shannon Gray

perfect for trying on clothes from the
freebox until the box was moved. Need a
place to hold your seminar potluck? Check
out the basement level Women's. Why
would a restroom have such a large
purposeless space attached? Maybe there's
something about female biology that I
don't-know.
The Art Annex has the only unisex
restroom on campus. Thanks to the
location this space doubles as an unofficial

art gallery. There's a nice Rampant Lion

in a comer that has survived a year. If you
have to express yourself with acrylics on
the walls, be considerate of other patrons
and do it during off peak use hours.
The Com building's third floor can
be restroom hell. At the end of a long day
all of those hallways look the same and by
the middle of the year the arrows pointing
to the restroom are mostly gone. What this
location needS is a floor plan map with a

"you are here" arrow. The bathrooms on
the theater level have more fixtures in the
Men's than in the Women's, and there
often is a line for the Women's during
performances. Hasn't there been a federal
study done that recognized the need for
more toilets for Women than Men?
If you're in a hurry in one of the
lecture halls, you might try running down
the stairs and going through the side
doors. These lead to a small coffee break
area that has two single user restrooms.
This is a gamble because these doors are
locked sometimes and you would have to
run back up the stairs, outside, and up
more stairs to get to other lecture hall
restrooms.
For the ultimate in privacy and
cleanliness, seek out the restrooms in the
basement of Lab II. The women's is
particularly hard to find, which is why it is
so clean and quiet. Someone violated this
sanctuary and removed the couch from the
mood lit lounge. May they be at the end
of the line in every restroom.
Don't look for condom vending
machines, there aren't any. Free condoms
and safer sex kits are available outside of
the student health center in the lecture
building.
Good luck and may all your toilet
seats be dry and all of your tp rolls be
full.
Shannon Gray is a CPJ cartoonist
who draws blood for a living.

shown tonight in CAB 110 at 7 p.m.
The showing is co-sponsored by TESC's

of women in media advertising.
A

four white guys, a guitar, a bass, some
drums and a few amps, microphones, etc.
Their names are Dan, Asa, Mitchell &
John. This is what Dan, the vocalist, said
in response to my questions.
Me: Why are you in a band?
Dan: I started singing when I was about
16 or 17 in a punk rock group. I sang
horribly. I used to just scream at the top of
my lungs, but I felt compelled to do it.
You waitt to know why we're in a band,
huh? We want to be with the audience.
We don't wanna play at them. We don't
wanna play for them or out to them. Our
music is not particularly tight. It's

different every night so when we come to
play we're as- eager- to hear what it's
gonna sound like. The songs have a
skeletal structure but we rely on where the
audience is at to determine how we're
gonna sound. It's all in the instant. I
don't know, it's pretty ridiculous, I guess,
to be in a band.
Me: Do you write the lyrics? What are
they about?
Dan: They're mostly about science &
stuff. The science of things, things like
everyday living. Our lyrics are, uh, pretty
scatter-brained.
Me: Any thoughts on being famous?

Dan: It's something to be avoided at all
costs, because you lose whatever rights
you . might have had in the first place.
You beco~e public property. People start
tninking things you say are true. It's just a
stupid position to be in. Nobody's opinion

Our own roving reporter meets the luminous Lungfish
by Robyn Heikes
•
My two week old, non-profit career
as a music journalist has taken an
interesting twist. I have discovered that
I'm not really concerned with asking
musicians about their music because, for
chrissake, they play it for me to hear and
there's really not much else to talk about
un1ess I were a musician also and wanting
to talk about chords or riffs or something.
And for that matter, why would they want
to taIJc to me about their political beliefs
orwhatevu, when, if it was lhal important
to them, they have the perfect medium to
get their message out to the world.
I intuviewed the singer for Lungfish
at a party on Oct. 5, and the only reason I
hope anyone reads this is because he
expessed that same basic sentiment; that
musicians are just people. Maybe all you
evolved persons out there realized this
long ago, but I must admit that I fell for
the late twentieth century notion that
famous people, especially musicians, were
different or more special than other
people. I know a few musicians that will
argue this point with me, but this is my
story, so I can say what I want

the sUldent volunteers to work together
effectively improved dramatically over the
selection process.
After selecting the new cocoordinators, the students decided to
schedule an open potluck for students with
disabilities. The potluck will be held on
Monday, Oct 19 at 5:30 p.m. in U-107,
the home of Eric Featherstone.
Said Lisa Chappell, "The Union of
Students with Disabilities needs to grow
and develop as a strong and active
organization on campus. Two hundred and
twenty-four people at Evergreen have selfidentified as having a disability. We want
each of these people to be involved.
Disabilities affect all races and genders.
We want to work closely with other
organizations on campus. The only way
we can create change is to work together."

volunteer committee of students with
disabilities selected Jennifer Mechem and
Bobbie Lavender as the new cocoordinators of the Union of Students with
Disabilities. This is the fIrSt year that the
Student Services and Activities Board has
granted the sUldent group sufficient funds
to hire two coordinators.
The volunteer committee of five
students (Lisa Chappell, Edward Dove,
Eric Featherstone. Robert Kerlin, and
Erica Parker) made the selections by
consensus. TIley chose from among five
candidates for the two positions.
Staff members Linda Murphy,
Coordinator of Access Services for
Students with Disabilities, and Denise
Robertson , Student Activities
Administration Program Coordinator,
facilitated the meetings of the selection
committee. Both noted how the ability of

providing a forum for constructive
discussion. Mercado said he especially
supported Costantino's initiative because
most groups tend to not be objective when
discussing issues of multiculturalism.
" ..If more groups had facilitators
who could help them look at the larger
picture and the role they play in it, then
when they joined together they would be
ready to participate in the next level of
discussion," Mercado said.
For Mercado, the speakers who are
scheduled to address the campus are only
part of the solution to the problems, a sort
of catalyst toward forming a matrix, or
forum of discussion. Nonetheless, the
speakers are all on the national lecture
circuit and considered to be knowledgeable
orators. (see chart on cover for list of
speakers)
In addition to the workshops, there
will be ongoing meetings which are open
to everyone wishing to participate in the
development and implementation of
diversity programs. Those meetings wiII be
held every Thursday at noon in CAB 320.

Removal of the tanks was part of a
project funded by the 1991 legislation
session as a routine precaution.
Once there were suspicions of a leak
Evergreen notified the Department of
Ecology immediately and testing of the
soil around the tanks began.
All six tanks located east of the
campus on Driftwood Road, were slated
for replacement. So far five of the six
tanks, used for college shops and
maintenance vehicles in the maintenance
shops area have been removed with only
one remaining, which is being used for oil
waste.

Dr. Mimms fmished the evening by
having the entire audience stand and do
the dance "the Electric Slide."
"The electric slide is a profound
piece in terms of what happens in a
country where racism perme<\tes and you
separate a people from their movement,"
said Dr. Mimms. The electric slide brings
a people together in terms of movement
and rhythm and allows people to say, "I
am part of a whole."
Q: What are five characteristics of
leadership and human becoming? Are
they the same?
A: A leader controls the action. Taking
that risk. Rejection, manipulation, power,
faith and an understanding that all or none
of the above are true. When you connect
all the characteristics of leadership
qualities and allow them to become
positive images for you, then you will
have some experiences in leadership that
will allow you to become more sensitive
to your [fellow] human.
