During the past week or so, a new sculpture has arisen next to the
Communications Building. The sculptor, Alan Storey of Vancouver, B.C., was
commissioned by Evergreen in 1990 to create workable art to compliment the
campus. Storey's work is a "glider" in which one can sit and swing back and
forth. The swinging in turn creates clicking sounds which rebound off metal
panels attached to the wall of the CRC Building to create a "facinating sound
effect." For more sound wave fun, check out the echo possibilities of the
woodsy area directly behind the Com Building. photo by David Mattingly

party candidate literally made of money

problems, the president is also able to
directly influence these problems. He has
the grandeur of the presidency on his side
and the president's great ability to divert
attention. With hot-spots in Yugoslavia,
Haiti, Libya and Iraq, a military strike is
possible if his popularity continues to lag.
What Bush needs to make his
summer livable is for the economy to
recover. He also needs a domestic victory
or for people to think that he has a
domestic policy. Outside of that, Bush will
spend most of the summer trying to look
presidential, look for lots of world leaders
to visit and lots of helicopters.
Bush's main worry is that, if you
count all the votes that Bill Clinton, Jerry
Brown, Ross Perot, etc. are getting, he has
close to 65% of the country wanting
somebody else as president. He also has
to worry about having spent most of his
life in government in a year when that
seems the one reason for someone to vote
against you.

A claim against The Evergreen State
College, filed by a studen t who was
assaulted at Evergreen last Halloween, has
become a civil lawsuit in Thurston County
Superior Court.
William Baxter, who was beaten and
lacerated with a broken glass container on
October 31 (see November 7 CP J) filed a
civil lawsuit in April against the College
and his attacker, Daniel McCluskey, for
"damages in an amount to be proven" at
the trial. Baxter and McCluskey were both
Evergrecn students at the time of the
assault.
Stewart Estes, a Washington state
Assistant Attorney who will defend the
college in the case, says he filed on May
15 for funds to call a jury, but has no idea
when the case will be tried. "Civil cases
[in this state] take a year or two,
sometimes three years, to come to court,"
Estes said.
Baxter's lawsuit, an update of his
original tort claim against the college, filed
last January (see February 13 CPJ) alleges
that the College "knew or in exercise of
reasonable care should have known ... that
defendant McCluskey '.vas volatile and
aggressive when drinking," and that he had
been arrested once before, in March of
1990, for "bothering fellow students while
drinking.
"Despite this knowledge the
defendant college failed to take any steps
from the actions of defendant McCluskey.
[Evergreen] breached its duty to plaintiff
to provide him with a safe place for the
conduct of his studies."
The suit further alleges that
Evergreen created "a security department
with limited powers," even though the
Revised Code of Washington "authorizes
[Evergreen and other state colleges] to
establish a police force with such police
powers as arc vested in sheriffs and peace
officers ... under the laws of thi s stale." It
claims that the Security Operations
Procedure manual under which SecurilY
operated was "was negligently and
ambiguously drafted," and that the manual
was "never adequately clarified for the
security personnel working under it.. ..
" ... the defendant college's security
officers' failure to enter the dorm while
the assault was taking place, their fai lure
to take any reasonable steps to halt the
attack, and their failure to render medical
aid were direct breaches of the college's
duty to provide a safe place for the
conduct of his studies."
Baxter also seeks damages for
physical injuries as a result of the assault,
including "several lacerations to his head
and face" that have left him "permanently
disfigured by resultant facial scarring."

Utter mayhem to
rock Evergreen
EVERGREEN--There is only a one-inthirteen chance that rain will fall on Super
Saturday, Washington sU,lte's biggest oneday festival (that's crazy!), held June 6
rrom 11 am to 7 pm on The Evergreen
State College campus.
Even during the tenth anniversary
event--the year festival planners claimed it
never rains on Super Saturday--a little
precipitation didn't deter the crowds from
having a great time. This year more than
30,000 are expected to attend.
There will be more than 150 arts &
crafts vendors selling handmade goods, 50
food booths dishing out everything from
the exotic to the traditional, five stages
packed with a continuous line-up of
entertainment, a medieval faire with a
tournament of jousting knights and
merchants from another age, and a Kid's
country filled with free activities and craft
projects for littler folk. The Beer Garden
features non-stop music, Evergreen
students display artwork across campus,
and regional non-profit community groups
share information about their good works.
Admission to everything is free.
And Super Saturday continues into
the night with the Super Saturday Night
Live Dance, headlined by "Rumors of the
Big Wave," 8 pm to 1 am on the fourth
floor of the Evans Library Building.
Opening the show is the local dance band,
"The Herd." The Super Saturday Dance is
sponsored by the Alumni Association.
Admission is $5 and advance tickets are
available at Rainy Day Records, Positively
4th Street, The Bookmark, and The
Evergreen State College Bookstore.
Call 866-6000 x6128 for details
about Super Saturday.

EVERGREEN--John Taylor Gatto will
give the keynote address for the
commencement ceremonies of The
Evergreen State College on Sunday, June
7, beginning at 1 pm on the main campus
plaza. The college will have 1,200
graduates this year.
Gatto taught public school 26 years
and was named New York State Teacher
of the Year in 1991 and New York City
Teacher of the Year three times before
resigning last summer. He said he quit
because he was disillusioned with the
educational system's teaching methods.
Gatto is the author of Dumbing Us
Down: The Hidden Curriculum of
Compulsory Schooling and producer of
"The Exhausted School" at Carnegie Hall.
He and his teaching have been the subject
of at least two films, Classrooms of the
Heart and Gatto the Teacher.
Gatto currently travels around the
country lecturing and giving workshops on
school reform. In his workshops, he
examines alternative types of teaching in
which students are responsible for
initiating their own learning. Workshop

itself to the Evergreen comml,lnity.
The Legal Aid Against White
Supremacy will be a source of financial
support to students who require money for
a restraining order, or preliminary legal
advice concerning a racial, sexual, or
homophobic harassment. A committee
consisting of some members of The
Women of Color Coalition, The Women's
Center, The Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual
Peoples Resource Center, and the First
People's Coalition student groups will
facilitate the distribution of these funds.

Most demonstrations are organized
to aggravate stomachs and ruffle feathers.
. Happil~, most ~le inv~lved in the
lesblan/gay/blSexuai nghts "Love-In" that
occurred at The Place, (& resta~t off of
Highway 101) last Sunday left feeling
cordial -- with their tummies ftlled and
their feathers smoothed. What had started
out as a tense, if not hostile, demonstration
ended with some genuine reconciliation.
l!nfortunately, . it's d!fficult to
appreciate the soluuon, Without first
understanding the conflict that caused the
demonstration. Therefore, a brief history:
The protest stemmed from an
inci~ent on April 26; two women were
reprimanded at The Place because they
were being too affectionate; they linked
arms and one woman placed her head on
the other's shoulder.
One of the women, Louise Westfall,
wrote a forum piece for the CPJ, which
was later published in Sound Out: A Gay,
Lesbian. Bisexual, Transgenderal People's
Publication for the Greater Olympia Area.
"I apologiZed at the time," said
Sylvia Raves, The Place's manager and
owner "I overreacted...but this is a family
restaurant. we don't like people getting too
affectionate."
Many members of the gay/lesbian/bisexual community saw Raves' action as an
act of homophobia; the "Love-In" was
organized and flyers appeared asking
people to "Come to The Place ... hug, kiss
and make yourself known."
And here it was. Sunday morning. A
sign in the parking lot reads:
WELCOME TO THE PLACE
RESPECT OTHER
PEOPLES MORALS
As approximately two dozen
gay/lesbian/bisexual folks and friends
arrived for breakfast, they found new neon
flyers on the restaurant's doors: "We

AMNESTY
IN'I'ERNATIONAL
by Dante Salvatierra
This . article ends. the year for
Amnesty International at Evergreen. As I
look at the year I realize we've done a lot
with virtually no budget and a limited
supply of volunteers. But what have our
actions, added to the actions of hundreds
of Amnesty chapters around the world,
done to improve human rights?
It's hard to say what effect our
letters and protests have on world
governments. There are still thousands of
prisoners of conscience held for their
beliefs. Th~ use of torture is still practiced
in a great many countries. People are still
being brutally executed at alarming rates
in our country as well as a few ,others.
But among these injustices there are
little tiny flickers of hope. (Really Really
Tiny) In this past year dozens of prisoners
in countries such as Cuba and Morocco
were released. The notorious human rights
record in Chile is improving.
One of the many people imprisoned
for their sexuality, Vladimir Mironov of
Russia, was freed and all charges were
dropped.
The democratically elected leader of
Myanmar (Burma), Aung San Suu Kyi,
who has been held under house arrest by
the ruling military junta, was allowed to
see her family for the first time in three
years. Her assistant, Ma Theingi, was
released along with many other political
prisoners.
In Malaysia, indigenous leader and
environmentalist, Anderson Muntang was
released on bail. After he was freed he
released this message:

Environmental Education went to
numerous classrooms in Boston Harbor,
Centennial, and McLane Elementary
School. We developed their own
curriculums about recycling, the salmon
lifecycle, and water quality, and taught
them in classroom after classroom. And
we made it fun for the students, with
activities and games that let them
participate in their education.
For our third campaign in the rust
two quarters we tackled hunger and
homelessness. The H&H group worked
with such organizations as Bread and
Roses and the Thurston County Food
Bank to help the needy. They held a food
drive on campus, receiving over 400
foodstuffs. We later participated in a
workathon--doing volunteer work at relief
agencies, and getting sponsors to donate
money for each hour worked. We raised
$735 to help put a dent in the problem,
which still liveS on today.
We decided to shift gears in the
spring quarter. Our first campaign for that
quarter involved promoting reuse and
recycling of our resources, while the
second focused on local fanners.
The Local Farm campaign
accomplished all its set goals of informing
I June 4, 1992
the surrounding community of some of the
local fanning issues. Some of the issues
we dealt with included: the current
dependency on out-of-state produce, the
lack of community SUPPOIt for local
"small" farmers, and the environmental
problems that are a result of that "large"
scale farms. We held a Pesti Challenge at
the Farmer's Market to let people compare
organic and pesticide ridden produce, and
put on a public forum between local
farmers and members of the community.
In the process, we have realized that some
of the issues are going to demand more
time and commitment, so we have decided
to continue the campaign next fall. The
local "small" farmers are looking forward
to your continued support.
The Solid Waste and Recycling
Campaign supported legislation that would
require the use of recycled material in
packaging and paper, thus making
recycling more economical and decreasing
the waste of rysources and energy. We
also promoted the bottle bill, which is an
effIcient, energy-saving way to recycle or
reuse beverage containers. We made that
garbage pile in Red Square to show how
much waste we produce each day. We
surveyed the offIces of many state
politicians to fInd out how well they do

I need to tell you all what happened
to me thi.s week after I wrote the final Bev
Report. You see, there I was happily
asleep on Monday morning content
knowing that my column was safely at the
CPJ and on 'its way to print when I got a
call from the offIce.
"Skip, get down here. There's a
letter for you and we need you to open it
so we can read over your shoulder." Well,
what's a BevHead to do? I rushed down to
the office and low and behold, what
should I see but this lovely envelope
covered in hearts and happiness! Needless
to say I was quite taken aback.
Inside the envelope was a letter from
the "Possessed BevHeads." Now, I like

To try to quantify political ideas can
be very tricky. Still, I will try to do it
or, more exactly, I will try to produce a
geometric representation of political
ideas.
Suppose that we take a poll in which
we ask people to rank themselves from
to 10 (0 completely disagree, 10
strongly agree) in response to the
sentence "The government should
intervene to ensure social justice."
Next, ask the same question but this
time replace "social justice" l,I(ith
"morals, law and order." For each
individual plot a point, on a twocoordinate system, using the two
numbers so obtained. The first answer
will provide. the x-coordinate and the
'secdnd,ahswer' the y.coordinate. .
Next; suppose thai we'trY' to group all
these points into political labels such as
"conservative" and "liberaL" The graph
below is the way that I visualize the
result.
I fust should clarify that I have drawn
the horizontal axes, social justice,
increasing from right to left (rather than
the traditional from left to right in
Cartesian coordinates) . This I did so
that it would coincide more with the use
THE
MA THEMA TICAL
WITNESS
of the words "left" and "right" in
politics.
This graph could be interesting and
useful as long as we do not take it too
seriously. I do not pretend to define a
communist as someone for whom the
first coordinate is greater than 8 and the
second coordinate is between 5 and 8 (or
something like that). To do that wo uld
be simplistic. To c mphasi/.e that I am
not thinking of s uc h a s tri c t
interpretation, I did not write any scale
on the axes. Also, the boundaries of th.:
different political groups arc dra wn with
dashed curves (rather than continuous
curves) to cmphasizc the rUD.incss or
these sets.
The second coordinate has additional
difficulties. What the "morals" should
be can change from culture to culturc
and from individual to individual. The
"conservatives" of one country could
think very differcntly from the
"conservatives" of another country. In
my graph, conscrvative s and
communists tend to have similar sccond
coordinates; however, most likely they
actually do not agree on many iss ues.
Additionally, the word "libcral" means
very different things in the United States
than in Europe and Latin Amcrica. In
the United States, a "liberal" is seen as
someone who tends to be to the left of
the center, while in Latin Amcrica and
Europe a "liberal" would be more like
what is called a "conscrvative" in the
U.s. Roughly, I am thinking th at our
poll is being conducted in the U.S.

party (and of the government if they are
power).
The results could be
puzzling: Soviet communists (when
they existed) who could not understand
the policies of the Cuban communists,
who belong to a very different culture.
Where should anarchists be located?
Many people would say that they are to
the left of socialists, and even of
communists. However, some anarchists
probably do not agree with the degree of
intervention of a central government
proposed by even some liberals. There
is a lot of disagreement among people in
the left about how to attain the social
justice that they , all want.
This
illustrates the difficulties to which I was
referring at the beginning. I decided not
to include the anarchists in my graph ;
some readcr might have a suggestion on
this question.
We could continue with th e idea
presented in this column, by considering
a third variable (Government
involvement
to
protect
the
environment?).
However, this is
probably enough for tOday , I hope that I
have clarified some political labels to
some people, while not upsetting too
many other people.

of you head off to pursue your summer
activity. most of the staff will continue to
work and to prepare the college for the
next wave of students and visitors. For the
recycling program, you can expect some
changes when you return.
In the next year, you will see new
and visible recycling containers at every
desk and in every room. All of the signs
and instructions that are now a
hodgepodge of handmade signs will be
replaced--Recycling will be much easier.
Everyone will have the opportunity to
:: recycle and will know how by an effective
and continu~d edufation program.
New and more efficient recycling

Our coordinator had to set up a table in

organization from scratch. We've gone a
long way since then, and we have left a
trail of success. We asked you this year
whether you felt WashPIRG should exist
at Evergreen, and 94.6% of those who
voted said "yes." So we decided to write
about what we've done.
WashPIRG has always been
interested in environmental issues, so we
decided the fIrst two quarters on
campaigns that focused on that issue. The
Toxics campaign strove to eliminate
synthetic poisons from our environment,
while the Elementary Environmental
Education group event went into schools
and explained to them the problems our
planet faces.
The Toxics Group held Toxic
Tuesday and Home Toxics day to promote
the awareness of the deadly nature of the
toxics problem. On those days, students
were given fact sheets, including
substitutes for toxic household chemicals.
Weekly sessions of the Toxic Table

material will make the program much
more cost effective.
You will begin to see centrally
located bulletin boards that will be used to
cut down on the huge amount of paper
that we use in the campus mail. All
campus memos will have the opportunity
to be posted using one sheet of paper
instead of a full ream.
The use of plastic packaging will be
reduced and most of the remaining plastic
on campus will be collected and recycled.
Many of the existing park benches on
campus will be refurnished using lumber
made from recycled plastic.
A waste composting program will be
developed to utilize the huge amounts of
yard and food waste that we produce.
And overall, I hope that we will be
effective in reducing or recycling our
waste stream by 50%. It is an ambitious
goal, but it is not unrealistic. Evergreen is
and will continue to be a leader in
recycling throughout the community and
throughout the state. We have been able

Response
A few last words
from Gary
Hello CPJ type folks,
I couldn't resist writing to you all
just one more time before the end of the
year. Here are some thoughts that I would
like to ~hare with the campus community.
-Not all people of color who are
men; over ' six feet tall, with long hair,
and/or wearing certain colors are gang
members (unfortunately some inembers of
our community have a hard time believing
this fact).
-There is no such thing as reverse
racism in Amerika.
-Anger and rage in certain cases
should be viewed as healthy.
-My long hair and skin color are not
an invitation for objectification of my
ethnicity.
-Native people had a sense of humor
long before Ed Dove came along (one
reason why we survived Amerika's
attempts at genocide).
-Columbus got lost (really!).
-Power plus prejUdice equals racism,
homophobia, and sexism.
-Guilt tripping does not work.
-Men 'rape, men can stop rape.
-Free Leonard Peltier (if you don't
know who Leonard is, you owe it to
yourself to become familiar with his case).
-We want to build the longhouse
(come on trustees).
This year has been hard for many
people of color on this campus. We are
attempting to communicate our concerns
and frustration but are criticized for it, and
often by people who have been oppressed
themselves. When next fall arnves, can we
all commit to listening before casting
judgements on each other's concerns. I
struggle at times trying to follow through
with this request myself, but if we are
truly striving to become a diverse
community, then we must respect each
other. Good luck to all.
To all of my relations,
Gary Wessels Galbreath
Gripes and
bickering in CPJ
We, (as well as Ben Schroeter) have
two gripes. Our first is Ben's letter that
appeared in the Cooper Point Journal on
May 28, 1992. For starters, the letter was
riddled with hideously out of place
personal insults that were completely
inappropriate in a discussion of musical
taste. For someone so outspoken about the
negative effects of tools of force, it was
rather sickening for us to read Mr.
Schroeter's comment that, "Someone
ought to smack Matthew good" (we
wonder where Mr. Schroeter would be if
someone were to adopt that method of
communication in response to the
numerous open letters to the community
he has posted).
Mr. Schroeter may have his facts
straight over a -few trivial points (such as
the "no-entry" signs) but he goes on to
draw the conclusion that Matthew's
comment about Phish's originality reveals
his "obnoxious shitheadedness." However,
there is a strong case to be made (by other
than "obnoxious shitheads") for Phish's
thematic and structural similarity to the
Grateful Dead. Of course, the Grateful
Dead did it first. Comparing Ph ish (who
are making big money in a time when
there is a large segment of the young
population just waiting to bite the hook of
anything calling itself "alternative") to
Frank Zappa, who started playing music in
a much less receptive time, is to underrate
Zappa' s musical and political boldness and
originality. By the way, alternative rock
doesn' t cost $10 a head.
Our second gripe is larger in scope
and importance. In reading the letters in
the CPJ and attending campus forums this
year, we have become thoroughly
frustrated at the factionalism, lack of
depth, petty bickering, and the reliance
upon tactics that ultimately reinforce the
attitudes that we are trying to change. We
hope things will improve next year.

Love and kisses

Dear Ben,
I would like to take this opportunity
to respond to your written assault against
me and my "Fear, Loathing ..... story. First
of all, I want to say that I am deeply
honored to be included in such a
prestigious group of people as Les Purce,
Larry "Quickdraw" Savage, Gary Russell,
RJ Nesse, Andrew Hamlin and Matt
Johnston.
In only 2 short years I have done
what I had previously thought impossible,
I have made it on your "A" list. What an
honor, really. I mean, how many others
have so swiftly stirred such emotion and
fire in the belly of Evergreen's most vocal
crusader for truth, justice and the Greener
way? I'm damn proud. Thank you, good
sir, for raising me to this status.
Secondly, and more to the point,
let's get serious Ben; we all break the law
sometimes. We all pull stupid stunts
sometimes. Nobody's perfect and I'll be
the first to admit it about myself. I make
mistakes and I'm honest enough to admit
to them. Obviously I was mistaken in my
impression that my comments were, to
some extent, funny.
You know Ben, I'm pretty sure that
we all have skeletons of some kind in our
closets, Lord knows I have mine. After
reading your reaction to my story I find
myself wondering what yours are like.
I would like to think that you have
better ways to spend your time than
writing inordinately long and abusive
letters about Arts & Entertainment pieces,
littering the campus with your flyers ,
passing out illegal telephone access
numbers, bothering people in their dorms
when they try and eat dinner by screaming
about Savage and threatening to file your
bogus lawsuits against our college.
Obviously I was wrong in thinking this.
Why not leave people alone for a
change and stop talking just to hear your
own voice? I, for one, am sick to death of
it
Love and kisses,
Seth "Skippy" Long

I am very upset and sad to see that
someone felt it necessary to spray paint
the messages "Racism sucks" and '''Power

vandalism and am addressing this
particular incident because it's the first
one I've directly encountered. For months
now the W.O.C.C. and other concerned
individuals have been saying these same
things: I respect them all for their forms of
communication which to me have been
through public forums and letters and
articles in the CPJ. While I am sorry that
they've had such a difficult time getting
their message heard on campus, I can say
that they have been heard by me. So I
disrespect the individual(s) that spraypainted their message around campus for
two reasons: 1) I have already heard the
message so it was an unnecessary form of
communication and, 2) I don't believe we
have the right to destroy someone else's
property to get our message heard. We all

Look beyond statistics
by Jorge Gilbert
During the last Faculty Retreat on
Friday, May I, some deans distributed
information regardi'ng the composition of
the so-called faculty of color after the
Women of Color Coalition and other
students complained about racism and the
lack of minorities on our campus. The
document was in "evidence" that TESC
was doing it wonderfully in terms of
minority issues and diversity, and that they
were consequently far ahead of other
institutions in the State of Washington, In
this regard, the deans document indicates
that "since 1987, the College has hired 57
faculty members, nearly half of them
faculty of color. As a result, persons of
color now comprise 22% of the total
faculty. " A similar report was proudly
presented by administrator Jose Gomez at
a meeting of the Board of Trustees on
Wednesday, April 8, 1992.
Anybody familiarized with the
business of teaching and researching
knows how easy it is to twist reality by
manipulating statistics. We even teach
these tricks to our students. Therefore, it is
amazing to read this report without
reacting, especially if we take a look to
the last series of racial incidents at TESC,
and let us also say, in the USA.
The same report mentions that
between 1974 and 1987 "the percentage of
persons of color on TESC faculty declined
gradually, from 17% to 11%." However,
the people who wrote the report .. forgot"
to include the reasons of this sharp
decline. Well, I did some enquiries and I
found that most of these faculty of color
were fired or forced to resign by the same
well-known "color blind" academic
administrators who run our college. This
situation has not changed today regardless
of all the rhetoric about multiculturalism.
During the "multicolor" period of
1987 and 1991, for example, three faculty
from South America have been hired.
However, two of them are currently suing
the College for violation of their faculty
rights, lack of due process, secret
investigations, invasion of privacy and so
forth. Statistically, this accounts for 67%
of South American faculty defending
themselves in court against TESC's
administration. The same can be said
about a faculty from Pakistan who has
experienced similar problems during this
"model" period. This accounts for 100% of
faculty from Pakistan. We have two
Japanese-American faculty currently
teaching at the College and one of them
has experienced similar problems on the
part of the same administrators. Thus, one
can conclude that statistically speaking,
50% of Japanese-American faculty have
experienced racial incidents at the hands

So you see, you ask us to share our

if you prefer, American Indians). All of

country and not just the Asians, African,
Chicana(o)/Latina(o), Pacific Islander and
the rest of the world. You have been here
for so many generations but, you are still
not the natives, although you are citizens.
When we do share our cultures, instead of

Electric power secrets kept from public
by Ed Schumaker
You will not find any literature that
specifically supports that the use of offpeak electricity will solve any problems
within the electric power industry. You
must read between the lines and be able to
analyze responses made by industry
pcrsol)nel.
We are convinced there exists a
long-standing covert effort to keep this
knowledge from
becoming public
knowledge. If you read this, you should
come away with the impression that
efficient distribution of power is contrary
to growth and expansion of both the
private and public power interests.
Our contention is very
straightforward. Massive amounts of
power go unused because it is being
generated in the middle of the night. We
have challenged some people within the
industry and they do not deny this. In fact,
Ihey say it accounts for about 40 to 50%
of all the power being generated in the
country.
With this in mind, consider that a
distribution system, such as most P.U.D.'s
are, reach maximum efficiency when they
are sending out the same amount of power
around the clock. This means no peak
power surges, i.e., when customers tum on
their thermostats all at the same time, etc.
When "peaking" is reduced or even
eliminated, fewer power plants are needed,
a smaller distribution grid (less massive)
will suffice and the risks of brown-outs
and ' black-outs are eliminated. Also, the
price of power goes down because it
becomes cheaper to deliver it and fewer
bond sales are needed for capital
construction. As well, power surge
problems become less of a problem,
except for natural causes such as trees
falling on power lines.
Currently, most utilities operate
between 55 and 70% efficiency. Their
term for this is "load factor." They enjoy
uneven power dislIibution so they can
continue massive capital outlay problems.
They also can collect huge amounts of
money in a form other than selling bonds.

the hidden golden goose of the industry. It

goes by the name CAPACITY CHARGE.
They love it (the utilities) because the
more they can get a customer to demand
at a given moment, the more money they
receive. This charge is really a DEMAND
PENALTY to the customer. '
My associates and I have been trying
to unravel this "demand charge" mystery
for the past couple of years. We have been
confronting the Grays Harbor P.U.D.
continua II y to get the specifics on their
demand charge collection and money
distribution. . Needless to say, the
management officials have been les than
candid in their response. We simply want
a clear explanation of where this money
goes.
The other major part of an electric
bill is the ENERGY CHARGE. This
This is the last issue of the
CPJ for the year.
Look for us in September;
we'll be here.
Oh my, will we ever.
charge is the only one the majority of the
public understands. Whenever there is
publicity about rates going up or down, it
only refers to the energy half of the
charges. An example of what the public
does not know is that whenever a utility
decreases rates, they many times up the
DEMAND CHARGE and thus their
revenues never falter. Wall Street call
Utilities the "Dividend Machine," and for
good reason!!
If you examine an electric bill of a
business on a DEMAND RATE
SCHEDULE, you will sometimes notice
mention of this aspect of the bill. There
will be a number under or next to the
letters "DEM" or the words "Demand
kWhr." You will not, however, be
provided with a dollar amount or the
portion of the bill that this charge
represents. You must do some complicated
arithmetic to figure this out and most of
the public just throw up their hands and
pay the bill.
The issue then becomes, "Why the
secrecy?" If the DEMAND CHARGE is a
legitimate part of an electric bill, then why
are industry officials so quiet about it? So
far . we have not been able to see the
breakdown on receipts and use of the
demand charge. Are not all aspects of a
P.U.D. open to the public? We are
constantly barraged by advertisements in
the local newspapers that tell us in no
uncertain terms that WE the PUBLIC own
the P.U.D.
We believe they are hiding important
information that should be open to public
scrutiny. We also believe that P.U.D.'s
may have a separate accounting system for
all demand or capacity charge collections
and distributions. This is speculation
fueled by circumstantial evidence and
innuendo, however. For example, when I
asked the Grays Harbor P.U.D. manager
for the financial records pertaining to the
demand charge, his reply was, "What do
you want that for?" He then changed the
topic.
On another occasion I accused a
P.U.D. commissioner of having a conflict
of interest, in that he maintained a position
of wanting to reduce peaking but also
admitted the P.U.D. would lose revenue if
they did. He denied my allegation. On
another instance, I asked a state auditor
about it and he chuckled, indicating he
would leave a note for the auditor who
handled P.U.D. 's to consider my concerns
next year. He could not, however, answer
my question and did not investigate the
matter. I even sent him facts and figures,
that showed the only charges I could
detect on a year-end balance sheet were
for energy charges only. I divided annual
kWhrs bought into total dollars spent and
came up with BPA's wholesale rate for
energy only. BPA also list DEMAND or
CAPACITY charges separately and will
not release this information to the public.
This leads us to try to imagine why
the secrecy exists. We feel it is possible
that the demand money goes for less
essential costs within the industry. We feel
it may go into some sort of "slush fund"
that only the insiders are aware of.
However, this is speculation at this time.
Do the commiSSioners and
management directly or indirectly benefit
from these funds? This could explain why
they tolerate such inefficiency in the
distribution systems. Again, we are
specUlating but they spend much time and
effort to confuse the situation.
An obvious question you must be
thinking is, "Why are these people so
interested in getting the Grays Harbor
P.U.D. more efficient?" We are trying to
start an industry that depends on utilities
for less than half prjce and pass the
savings on to the public. They could also
supply the products to store this power, as
heat, to ratepayers on a payment plan and
all concerned would come out way ahead
and laugh all the way to the bank.
The Utilities would reduce peaking
and pay less of a DEMAND CHARGE to
BPA and charge less to ratepayers. The
consumers of off-peak power would save ,
money on their electric bills while buying
the equipment at the same time.
We do have an axe to grind in this
matter but we feel it is undoubtedly in the
public interest to use this tremendous
amount of wasted power. We are
beginning to wonder if public utilities are
as interested in the public welfare as we
are.

Legendary S,pinal Ta b:reaks .wind I·ive
....

29, 1992
I have been waiting over six years
to see Britain's legendary Spinal Tap
live. When I heard they were touring for
their Break Like The Wind album, I
jumped at the chance to trek up to the
Paramount with five frtends to see them.
I got to see a great concert, but I got
more. A lot more.
We arrived at the Paramount at
around 6 pm, just in time to hear their
soundcheck. We hung around by the
loading area hoping to see members of
the band and get autographs. After going
through practice runs of "Stonehenge,"
"Bitch School," and a new number called
"Young and Sweet," the band retired to
their dressing rooms to prep for the
show.
Suddenly I saw a shadowy figure
emerge from the building wearing dark
sunglasses and sporting a short, bleached
hairdo. Could it possibly be.--Oh my God
it was--Ric Shrimpton, Tap's new
drummer! I rushed up to him with a pen
and paper in hand and asked for an
autograph. He signed, "Ryan--Peece and
Love, Reek and Roll, Ric Shrimpton."
My knees turned to jelly as I asked him
how the tour was going. He told me that
Tap had played in Chicago at an airforce
base and the cadets went wild. He also
asked, "Who here has any weed? Anyone
got any weed?" Unfortunately, we had no
weed and he left. If only I had had the
courage to ask him out for coffee...
We milled around some more,
waiting to see other members of the
band. The dressing room windows faced
over the loading area, so we kept our
eyes on them for any sign of movement.
Much to our pleasure, Nigel Tufnel, lead
guitar, peeked out at us and tossed a
rubber eyeball our way. Singer David S1.
Hubbins appeared as we screamed in
delight. Smiling, he said, "Did you come
here to rock and roll?"
"Yes! Yes! We love Tap!" we
replied.
About · a half hour later, bassist
Derek Smalls emerged from the dressing
rooms to get something back at his hotel
room. I got his autograph too. It reads,
"Ryan--Turn It Up! Derek Smalls."
Our pre-show encounters with the
Gods of Rock heightened our anticipation
for what could easily be considered the
concert event of the year. The show
began at 8. The opening chords of
"Tonight I'm Gonna Rock You Tonight"
split the air as Tufnel, St. Hubbins and
Smalls descended to the stage from the
rafters on cables. Unfortunately, Nigel's
harness got screwed up and he hung in
the air throughout the whole song while
his band mates rocked on below.
"Cash on Delivery" was the second
song. Derek's amp was cranked a lot
louder than anyone else's, giving the
crowd a chance to see what a virtuoso he
really is. A metallic spine rose into the
air from behind the drum set. It was
soon topped by Tap's new skull prop,
named "Jim. "
A rap version of "Sex Farm"
followed. It took everyone by surprise.
When they played that song at Lindberg
airforce base here in Seattle during the
Smell The Glove tour, Nigel's g!ptar

new version of their intellectual
exploration of sex on a farm work out so
well.
Much to our pleasure,
Nigel Tufnel, lead guitar
peeked out at us and
tossed a rubber eyeball
our way.
Tap ended its first set with the
mighty "Stonehenge." During Nigel's
mandolin solo, a huge inflatable
Stonehenge began to <lescend It made it
halfway. The band stopped the song,
looked up at the gargantuan monument
and shook their heads. "It's not too big!
This plaCe is too fucking small!" roared
,
Derek, visibly upset.
After a short intermission, the
curtains opened to find three huge eggs
on stage. 'Twas "Rock and Roll
Creation." Nigel stepped out of his egg,
David emerged from his just fine and a
guy dressed in a chicken suit popped out
of Derek's. Derek walked on stage from
behind the curtain and gave the chicken
a big high five.
"This is a song about the flower
people. We thought you should listen to
them. We still do." David St. Hubbins
proclaimed as psychedelic lights played
upon the surfaces of the eggs. A lot of
cigareue lighters went up into the air for
the hit that made Tap famous back in
1967, "Listen To the Flower People."

David played on his knees while Nigel
plucked a double necked sitar/guitar.
A "often duplicated, never imitated"
acoustic set soon followed It was great
to see the triumvirate of Smalls, St.
Hubbins, and Tufnel do acoustic jams of
"All The Way Home" and "Clam
Caravan," in which Tufnel played a
beautiful clarinet solo.
The rest of the band joined for a
few more numbers off the new album
like "Stinkin' Up the Great Outdoors"
which, segued into the scorchin' "Diva
Fever." The band stopped in the middle
of the song to give Nigel the opportunity
to dazzle the crowd with one of his
trademark drawn-out solos. While the
axemeister played ferocious leads, tossed
l1orseshoes and shot , darts at guitar on a
stand, juggled while playing and did
some impromptu singing, the overhead
video screen showed Derek and David
backstage. David laid down on a couch
and got a full make-over with mud mask
and pedicure while Derek took a limo to

After these all-star jams, Tap

this/Behind?" with Tap, creating a son of
communal spirit, a group mind if you
will.
Tap left the stage a second time,
but came back when the crowd began a
chant. For their very last number they
played "Leaving on Track Thirteen," the
mystery ttack ' off the new album. St.
Hubbins wished Seattle a farewell and
said, "May the doves of peace fly into
your hearts." As Tap bowed, hundreds of
stuffed doves fell onto the stage from
above.
After the show I got Nancy Wilson
to sign my ticket stub and tried to get
backstage. It didn't work. I even followed
the tour van back to the Four Seasons
Hotel, but quit my search when I got to
the lobby.
Those moments 1 shared with Nigel
Tufnel, David St. Hubbins, Derek Smalls
and Ric Shrimpton I will cherish forever.
And that's the majesty of rock.

M. Butterfly is a play with many
facets. It's about stereotypes, and how
they blur our vision. 'It's about sex,and
its power over our lives. It's about race,
and how little we know about each other. ,
It's about love, and what we will do for
it. It's about identity, and how well we
really know those around us and
ourselves. It's about power, and what
we will do for the feeling of it. And it' s
about fantasy, how we lie to ourselves to
make the world resemble what we wish
it was.
The production of M. Butterfly at
the Evergreen . Experimental Theater last
weekend captUred the magic and emotion
of this difficult play. Well acted and well
produced, it provided an excellent
evening at the theater. Because some
actors rotated through different roles
during the run, I can only review them in
the roles they played Saturday evening.
Based upon a true account, M .
Butterfly tells the story of a French
diplomat arrested for passing information
to a Chinese opera singer with whom he
had had an affair for twenty years. The
singer turned out to be not only a spy,
but also a man. The diplomat insisted
that he thought the singer was a woman,
despite their relationship. He had never
seen "her" naked, explaining, "I thought
she was very modest. I thought it was a
Chinese custom."
Playwright David Henry Hwang
takes this story and mixes it with
Giacomo Puccini's opera Madame
Butterfly to investigate the conflicts
between East and West, Men and Women
and within ourselves.
M. Butterfly begins in the cell of
Rene Gallimard. the French diplomat,
who guic;les the ' audience through the
events that lead to his imprisonment.
Assisted by the Narrator, Gallimard takes
us to Bejing in 1960, where he fIrst met
the opera singer Sdng Liling. The affair
grows, and we see GaUimard begin to
pass secrets to Song. As time progresses,
Gallimard's character changes in response
to his affair with Song. Both characters
fallout of favor with their respective
governments,
and

when
Gallimard is recalled to France. Finally,
Gallimard confronts his past and the
differences between fantasy and reality.
For the play to be powerful, the
audience must accept all that it is seeing.
The audience must believe in the
romance and desire for power that drove
Gallimard and that he could believe Song
was a woman for twenty years.
Ethan Delavan's Gallimard was
very believable. I felt the power and
energy the character experiences as his
affair with Song begins. The portrayal
was balanced and engrossing throughout
the play, and when he comes to his final
realization about what his life has been,

to see a part of ourselves in him. My

The year In rock: Diy's cool, Seattle's a bust

Hmm. The year in rock. The year
in pop. The year in punk.
I'll begin in August with the
International

I was so totally oblivious to anything at
this point in life that even if I had been
at Evergreen, I may still have missed it.
DoubtfuL But from what I hear, it was a
delightful, unforgettable, unrepeatable
experience. Starring a buncha bands from
Olympia and Washington D.C. and
elsewhere.

Anyway, I arrived at Evergreen and
promptly missed the Soundgarden show

that at that particular moment I was

hairdos. Not everybody, but the
promoters, and the places where you play
and the people in bars and stuff.
Would you say your lyrics are political in
any way?
Mike: No! No! I'm so fed up with bands
who bitch and moan. But it's fucking
punk rock, and you can't understand the
lyrics, so what's the point? If you've got
something to say, write a fucking
newspaper. Don't put it in a punk rock
song, nobody can understand you
anyways. I just sing about having a good
time.
Why are you in a band?
Mike: I'm in a band because I see that
there are two different kinds of people
who listen to music. You know, there's
the jocko types, music's kind of just
there cause everyone else listens to it.
They don't really listen to it. it's kind of
just background noise. Then there's
people that hear a good chord progression
and it just makes them feel good, it
almost makes .the hair stand up on your
neck when you hear a really good
melody or a killer vocal pattern or
something. That's what it is for me, just
searching for that ultimate song.

In Olympia, poetry is nol dead. In
facl. Jim Bill has ·made it a serious goal
to keep the genre alive and kicking. A
year and a half ago, he was one of the
first four people involved in organizing
lmd successfully delivering the "Olympia
Poetry Network" to our somewhat
starved-for-culture community. The OPN
sponsors featured poets and open mike
readings on the second Wednesday of
every month at "DREAMZ a galleria"
(404 East Fourth Ave., Olympia).
In addition to live poetry readings
and performances, KAOS 89.3 FM airs
an Olympia Poetry Network radio show
every Wednesday evening at 9 pm. The
show offers new or established poets an
opportunity to reach a much larger
audience and provides for listeners a
chance to bask in the creative expression
of many talented local writers.
If your radio sucks and you don't
have a car, the OPN will come to your
home and shower you with meaningful
verse. Just tune into Channel 31
(Thurston County Television) on June 7
at 10 pm, June 9 at 1:30 pm, or June 12
at 6:30 pm and the poets Gail Tremblay
and Melinda Mueller will give you a
video-taped taste of the poetry you
missed at the DREAMZ reading in April.
If you don't have a television, give Jim
Bill a call (459-2621). More than likely,
he'll put your name on the mailing list
and you shall soon receive a copy of the
muc.h, coveted Olympia Poetry Network
New sleiter:'( This nifty .newsletter lis~:1l
wide variety of writerly goings-on: poetry
readings, book-signings, and conferences.
It circulates around town and an issue
can usually be found in or near the
TESC Library.
Anne-Marie Schaefer and Craig
Oare will be the featured poets reading
on June 10, 1992, 7 pm at DREAMZ.
An open-mike reading usually follows, so
all you closet poets, shy or serious,
should dig out the written masterpiece
you tossed into an old shoebox, dust it
off and bring it to the reading. If you're
not a poet, you should still call Jim Bill.
The OPN is recruiting volunteers for the
summer to help out with videotaping,
broadcasting, equipment and other related
tasks.
Mr. Bill {I couldn't resist) is also
teaching a poetry writing workshop next
fall at South Puget Sound Community
College. For those interested in
de'veloping or honing their writing skills,
information can be found by contacting
the college's continuing education office
at 754-7711, extension 365. The Olympia
Poetry Network is a terrific support
system and a vital tool for any aspiring
poet. If you can find your voice, they'll
show you how and where to use it.

Fitz ~f Depression: it's fu,?king punk rock, man!
by Jane Laughlm
I finally scheduled an interview
with Fitz of Depression, after much
laboring and message-leaving. On my
way to the singer/guitarist Mike's place,
I spotted him across the street, carrying
what appeared to be a bag of groceries.
He was with two guys that I don't think
I ever became properly acquainted with,
but, oh well.
. W,e went up . to his apartment,
which IS really a tmy room that was
probably once an office of some kind.
Upon entering the Lair of Mike, I was at
once assaulted with every piece of KISS
paraphern~a th~t has probably ever been
crea~, lOcluding the lunchbox, the
comIC book, the backstage pass, you
name it. Alongside artifacts in the KISS
museu~ are conc~rt fliers for sho~s long
past, with bands like Mudhoney, NlfVana,
M~lv!"s, and ,Soundgarden. I enjoy
Mike s .r~m. It s cozy.
Fltz s drummer and bass player
(Craig and Justin, respectively) finally
sh?wed up. Craig was sporting a new
hrurcut, and the .bleached stuff that had
been there the mght before when I saw
him at KA<?S w~s gone. We gathered in
a ceremomal cucle around my tape
recorder and held hands.
Where are you all from, anyway?
Mike: Originally?
Well, J don't think / need your address or
anything...
Mike: I'm from Michigan originally, but
I've been here for about ten years now.
Craig: I was born in Chehalis, and I
lived there for, like, six months, and then
I moved to eastern Washington, the TriCities area. I've lived here for five years
almost.
Justin: And, I'm from Moses Lake. Born
and raised there. I moved here about six
months ago.
How long has this band been together?
Mike: Justin's been in the band for about
six months now.
Justin: I'm the new guy. Graduated from
Moral Crux, my fust band We toured
the country.
Mike: We've been in Fitz of Depression
for about four years. Me and Craig
started it in our garage 'cause we were
bored shitIess.
Justin: Their first show was opening up
for Moral Crux.
Mike: And headlining.
Justin: The first show in Olympia.
Craig: Our first show was in Tacoma, in

whose conservative wing doesn't like aush
although he has towed the conservative
line, and whose moderates and pro-choice
members are sick and tired of having the
conservative ride roughshod over them.
This could give Bush problems in the
months ahead. Look for Dan Quayle to
make more Murphy Brown style speeches
to keep the conservatives happy while
Bush tries to rise above the fray. A great
indicator of Bush's strength will be how
much the Pat Buchanan and pro·dioice
elemenlS of the party disrupt the
convention in August lf Bush can keep
the convention under control, he will enter
the fall campaign with some momentum,
if not, it could be fatal
•
Bill Clinton. Clinton needs to keep
himself in the public eye. Bush has the
power of the presidency and Perot can buy
all the air time he needs, so Clinton must
make sure he doesn't end up the third man
out. Look for him to try to challenge the
president directly by setting out plans on
what he would do in difficult situations
such as L.A. and Yugoslavia. Mario
Cuomo has suggested that Clinton should
run as the candidate who can make
government work again, and this might be
the right tack to take.
Clinton's main worry during the
summer is whether the people who have
voted for Brown and Tsongas will vote for
him. While Perot came in second in total
votes in the Washington primary two
weeks ago, if you count the votes for
Brown and Tsongas as a vote for the
Democratic nominee, Clinton bealS Bush
by over 10,000 votes, and has 30,000
more votes than Perot.
The two major evenlS to watch with
Clinton occur in July. The ftrst is how
well Tsongas, Brown, Jesse Jackson,
Cuomo and other Democrats rally around
Clinton during the convention. A unified
party is necessary if Clinton is to have a
chance this year. Second, and more
important, is his choice of a VicePresidential Candidate. This provides
Clinton's frrst chance to act presidential
and to symbolize the differences between
him and Bush.
Ross Perot. What is there to be
•
said about Ross Perot? Nothing, really,
for no one is sure what he stands for,
including himself, seemingly. But as of
now, this hasn't mattered. It might actually
help, since it allows Perot to tJe all things
to all people. The one thing we know for
sure is that he has a paranoid streak that
makes him the Oliver Stone of presidential
politics.
But, at some point, Perot has to
actually enter the race. . ' At this point he
might fmd out what Tsongas learned to be
true, that he will never be as popular in
the race as he Was when he was out of it.
To try to combat this, look for Perot to act
like the military with the press, keeping
tl\em as far away as possible and 'letting
them see only what he wanlS them to see.
However, while he will suffer some
damage from the press, the person who
can most hurt Pert>t now is Perot. His
latest comments about not hiring
homosexuals and adulterers remind one of
Clayton Williams, who ran for the Texas
governorship in 1990. He was ahead until
his comments about such ' issues as rape
(woman should lie back and enjoy) sank
his candidacy. If Perot can avoid such
commenlS, and people continue to not care
about his record and positions, the race
could be his to lose.

Baxter's original tort claim was
referred to the state ' Offtce of Risk
Management, · according to Baxter's
attorney, John Bergman. That office
processes claims against Washington state
and advises the state whether to pursue a
settlement or let a case go to court When
he didn't hear back from the state after 60
days, he med the civil suit on Baxter's
behalf, Bergman said.
Mike Kirkpatrick, Claims

judgement on Baxter~s claim because of
insufficient information "in the area of
liability and damages." Instead, the Offtce
referred it to the Attorney General's office.

during the luau we had to wonder when

Unlike the January tort claim,
Baxter's civil complaint makes no mention
of the Antlers, a campus social group with
which McCluskey was affiliated. The tort
claim alleged that "many of [the Antlers]
openly espoused a racist philosophy and
threatened other students who were
sympathetic to the intereslS of minority
students," and that Evergreen "was
negligent in allowing such an organization
to exist" Members of the Antlers have
disputed these claims (March 12 and April
23 ePJs).
McCluskey, whom the lawsuit states

did not know that a vegetarian meal was
also planned. We are sorry, were we being
too considerate. Knowing that some of

Loren was it you and your friends who

Clinton clinches six final prImarIes
by JefT Bradley
The Primary season ended Tuesday
with elections in California, Ohio, New
Jersey, New Mexico, Alabama and .
Montana. George Bush and Bill Clinton
won victories in all six, which gives Bush
a clean sweep for the year and continued
Clinton's winning streak which dates back
to March.
Bill Clinton's win in Ohio gave him
enough delegates to clinch the Democratic
nomination. Clinton also won the highly
contested California primary, taking (with
.84% of the state re rting) 48% of the
vote to Jerry Brown's 40% and 8% for
Paul Tsongas. After the results were in,
Tsongas endorsed Clinton for the
Presidency.
Brown said he would
continue his campaign through the
Democratic Convention in July.
George Bush won handily over
challenger Patrick Buchanan in all six
primaries. In California Bush won 74% of
the vote to Buchanan's 26%.
In other election news, Democrats
Barbara Boxer and Dianne Feinstein both
won primary elections for the two senate
sealS open in California. This continues
the strong showing of women in senatorial
primary elections this year. If elected in
the fall, they would double the number of
women in the senate.

national presidential election for the CPJ.
