"My work in the Master's 'of Environmental Studies program is focused on environmental and cross-cultural
communicat,jons. Through visual and written dialogue, I
seek to apply my skills and talent to help myself and
others understand our world and provide information to
help people make informed choices. I am planning a show
next November 13-15 in conjunction with the Worker and
Envirionmentalist Conference to be held here
at Evergreen."

I had always like experiential photography and figured this would
be an excellent opportunity. It was my first-ever operation and I
decided to go for a spinal block during orthoscopic knee surgery so
I could take pictures while they removed some tom cartllege.
Numbness in my legs was quick and I could feel it sl.owly creeping
up my abdomen and chest. I thought the numbness would stop
there, but it didn't. About halfway up my chest, a wave of panic
rose because I felt I was losing breathing control. Deep breathing
didn't work as the lower diaphragm was on break. The sensation
was so strange my mouth opened and my brain gave a laugh, but
there was no sound or chest muscles contracting in mirth. This
was decidedly funnier, but there was no satisfaction with only the
brain enjoytng the sensation and my body not caring a bit. My
arms and hands became fairly numb and it was all I could do to
remain calm at times as panic came in several more waves. The
anesthesiologist kept asking if I was ready yet for some happy
drugs to take the panic away. During this time, I was particularly
intrigued by the sensation of having a 'live' head and varying
degrees of shoulder, arms, and upper chest while a very 'dead'
weight was attached below. The impression of only being able to
use the top part to move the bottom mass was quite vivid. After
about an'hour, my head cleared up and enough feeling returned
to my hands to risk holding the camera. This is when I asked the
doctor and technicians to smile and wave. The dark glasses were
protecUon from stray laser scalpel light.

House Bill
could limit
music-buying
rights of

minors
by Dan Snufrm
It may soon be a crime to sell a 2
Live Crew album to a minor in
Washing!Q~S~~.

Ken Picard is a lawyer on Whidbey Island who has been leading a landmark fight
to save historical Ebeys Prairie near Coupeville, Washington, from development
interests. On this day he hadjust returned from the lastest exasperating fight
against a land trust infringement and contemplated openly the public's
environmental sincerity. Borrowing a phrase from a cowboy song, he said
environmentalists seemed, "One mile wide and one inch deep." 1991

HB2554, if signed by the Governor,
would amend current laws restricting
pornography to include recorded material,
making albums judged sexually explicit
unavailable to minors.
Under the measure, local judges are
able to decide if an album is "erotic".
Once detennined "erotic", the material
would have to be regulated like
pornographic material by record store
owners. The penalty for the sale of such
material to a minor would carry a fme of
up to $500 and six months in jail for the
first offense.
The 'measure has been approved by
both the ' House and the Senate by
overwhelming majorities. The Senate
amended the bill to allow minors to
purchase "erotic" recordings if they are
accompanied by a parent or guardian. The
House agreed to the amendment, and now
the measure has to be signed by the
Governor.
Fans, record labels and distributors
have flooded Governor Gardner's office
with petitions and messages urging him to
veto the bill, claiming the bill infringes on
their First Amendment rights and would
constitute a f<XlIl of censorship.
The bill was inspired by Karen
Leslie, an Everett mother whose 4-year-old
child asked questions about obscene
language after listening to a copy of As
Nasty As They Wanna Be by 2 Live Crew,
owned by his 16-year-old nephew. The bill
was sponsored by Rep. Dick King (D~
Everett).
Dan $nuffin hasn't written for the
CPJ for a really long time.

"Veto
the
bill!
Specifically
V-E-T-O...there's a four-letter word ..."
said Chris Novoselic, bassist of Nirvana,
at Monday's rally against House Bill 2554.
About 300 people, including
musicians, college students, and high
school students, turned out for an
afternoon rally on the Capitol steps in
Olympia to protest a bill that would make
it illegal for minors to buy albums with an
"adults only" sticker. House Bill 2554
targets albums that would be considered
"erotic" by an evaluating local judge. High .

school students, the group that would be
most directly affected if the bill passes
intO law, made up a large portion of the
crowd gathered.
The bill has already been approved
by the .legislature and only needs to be
signed by Governor Booth Gardner to be
made into law. The governor's offIce
received House Bill 2554 on March 10
and has until April 4 to either sign or veto
the bill.
.
To voice an opinion, either for or
against House Bill 2554, the public is
encouraged to call the Legislative Hotline

at 1-800-562-6000, or Gov. Gardner's
office at 753-6780 (FAX# 753-4110).
Written comments about the bill can
be mailed directly to the governor's office.
The address is: Governor Booth Gardner,
Legislative Building, AS-I3, Olympia,
WA 98504.
Though the governor has until April
4 to consider the bill, he can sign or veto
it anytime before then.

Tuition increase axed

During the 1991 Neah Bay, Washington oU spill, Michael Tupper of
Bellevue took several weekends and days off work to help the bird
rescue hospital at Cape Flattery stabUize ,lnjured or sick oUed
seabirds. After the first couple weeks, no live birds were found and
the process of DOA began by sorting and identifying the backlog of
dead birds according to the day and location found, degree oUed, and
whether they had beeen scavenged by other wildlife. Some of the
birds were days old and stored in plastic bags. It was exhausting
work and the stench and maggots at Urnes were overwhelming.

Iva Rose is a member of the Makah tribe of Neah Bay and the
daughter of bobby '?aytt' rose who set up the bird rescue hospital.
Iva helped motiltor the beaches for injured and dead birds like this
common murre. It was important to get them oft'the beaches before
other birds and wildlife such as eagles and racoons scavenged off
them and in gested the toxic oU. This spill was a catastrophe for the
subsistence lifestyle of the tribe. 1991

by J.E,B. Stuart Thornton
There Will be no tuition increase in
the- Legislature's budget proposal to the
governer above the previousiy planned 5.3
percent (5.5 percent for nonresident
students), announced Senator Dan
McDonald and Representative Gary Locke.
This announcment was made during
the press conference given on Wednesday
March 11 to annOlBlce the compromise
budget.
Senator Dan McDonald said that
.
"one of our goals was to protect higher
education." Representative Gary Locke
said that they worlced hard to· not · cut
higher education. Although an effort was
made to come up with what Senator
McDonllld calIed a "fair budget, in an
unfair economy," there are still cuts to all
state universities and colleges.
Tuition waivers were cut by 13
percent for all universities and colleges in
the state. Evergreen's tuition waiver
program budget currently consists of
586,000 dollars.
"This cut will be between 50,000
and 70,000 dollars, depending on the
model they use to detennine the cut," said
Steve Trotter, Evergreen's budget officer.
The Board of Trustees discussed the

waiver cuts February 12.
According to the minutes of that
meeting, "It is likely that the ' college
would strive to protect waivers offered to
students of low-income and diverse
cultural backgrounds."
Other cuts to Evergreen's budget,
according to Steve Trotter, will be in
faculty, staff, and exempt employee
salaries, and in health benefit payments.
Last year's salary increase will be
rolled back to a 3 percent, a savings of
85,000 dollars. Health benefits will be cut
by 25,000 dollars.

student and a CPJ slaffwriter.

Hate-crime bill
weakened
OL YMPIA--Changes made by the Senate
to a hate crimes bill greatly weakens
,efforts to stop the cross burnings and gay
bashings that have plagued the state, an
alliance of police and civic groups
charged.
House Bill 1037, as amended by the
Senate on a 46-2 vote Friday, March 6,
eliminated House language ' that would
have protected individuals from
harassment based on their perceived sexual
orientation. The Senate also struck a
provision to train police to identify and
report hate crimes and pared down
language defming when cross burning
constitutes malicious harassment.
"This bill cannot be considered a
victory until we protect the people who are
the worst victims of malicious
harnssment," said Rep. Jesse Wineberry,
CD-Seattle), "By weakening the cross
burning section and eliminating the sexual
orientation language, the Senate has in
essence declared open season for the Ku
Klux Klan and other hate groups upon
Jews, gays and lesbians, ,and people of
color."
The alliance is urging Gov. Booth
Gardner to maintain his support for the
House version of the bill, and Gardner
indicated that the Senate bill in its current
form is not acceptable.

Jamil Qureshi
resigns at TESC
EVERGREEN--On March 9, the
resignation of Jamil Qureshi, vice
president for finance and administration,
was announced by Les Purce. Purce's
announcement states:
"I accepted today the resignation of
Jamil Qureshi, vice president for finance
and administration, effective June 30.
Jamil is leaving Washington to pursue
business opportunities in Colorado.
It will be the responsibility of our
new president to begin the search process
for this vice presidency. If the president is
not on board by July I , I plan to ask
someone to fill the role on an interim
basis. Given the critical nature of
responsibilities associated with budget
development and other issues we face
during these next months, I may seek
someone before that time to help create a
smooth transition.
Jamil began his work here in
September, 1990, just as I began serving
in the role of interim president. I want to
thank him for his service to the College
during this important, often difficult
transitional time, and I wish him well with
his new plans."

Cheryl Lynn Thurston: 1955 - 1992'
by Andrew Hamlin

I

Cheryl Lynn Thurston, longtime
Library Group Secretary at the Evergreen
State College Library, died Wednesday
morning; March 4, at Virgiriia Mason
Hospital in Seattle, after a four-month
battle with cancer. She was 37 years old.
"She was sO outgoing, a very warm
personality," said Sarah Pedersen, Dean of
the Library, about Thurston. "Just a hell of
a lot of fun, joyful, raucous. One of the
words she used a lot was •spunky " and
that describes her too."
Thurston came to the Evergreen
Library in June of 1983, and promptly
made herself indispensable, according to
Pedersen and other library employees.
Ffank Motley, in an evaluation from
1988, wrote, "you understand how to have
a caring conversation with a wide variety
,
,
of folks, and have them leave the
conversation feeling better about Cheryl L. Thurston courtesy ,photo archives

themselves and about their work."
Wyatt Cates, another libr,ary
employee, wrote of Cheryl in 1986, "She
is the heart and soul of this place."
, Pedersen added, "Most amazing was
the way she would bring people together.
She was .always hauling people off on
field trips, to buy flowers or whatever."
Cheryl was devoted to . gardening and
made frequent trips to the daffodil farms
in Satsop.
A memorial service was held
Monday, March 9, on campus at Library
4300, followed by a potluck and a
ceremonial tree-planting on the knoll
behind the seminar building. The Library
staff is honoring Cheryl throughout this
week with memorial displays and daffodils
in the Library itself.
Thurston was born Jan. 15, 1955, in
Olympia, and lived most of her life here,
although she did spend some time in the

Westport area of Seattle, driving a truck
for her father's bait shop. She graduated
fromNonh Thurston High School in 1973,
and married Jerry King in 1980. Their
daughter, Sena Mariah Thurston-King. was
born ' Nov. 18, 1990, at St. Peter's
Hospital.
Survivors include her husband; her
daughter; her · parents, Paul and Dorothy
Thurston of Olympia; a sister, Cindy
Bensley of Olympia; a brother, Don
Thurston of Olympia; two nephews, and
one grandnephew. She was preceded in
death by her brother Paul Thurston.

1700 Washington state students lost
state need grant money to private school
students as a result of last year's
legislative budget negotiations. Will this
trend continue? This is still unclear after
talking with the writers of the budget that
was released March 11.
"
In the last year there has been a
major shift in the State Need Grant (SNG)
due to a change in sta~ budget language
from last year's legis~tive session. This
shift came in the form of the removal of
language containing a "cap", which limits
the amount of SNG monies that can go to
students in private schools. According to

Inside Antler House: "Ehhhhhh!, .•"
by Bryan Connors
What is an Antler? Where do they
come from? What do they do?
These are questions that seem to
crop up aroupd campus from time to time.
-They're a bunch of friends who
hang out, drink, party, and watch Star
Trek and movies together.
-They're a bunch of fuck-heads who
get totally obliterated and trash any place
they live and/or have parties at.
-They're a racist organization who
has members who openly espouse racist
philosophies.
-They are a secret organization of
Evergreen students who dress up in robes,
gorge themselves on the blood of virginal
homed mammals, and whose induction
rights involve a tub of K-Y jelly and a
bowling ball.
Within the past year the group that
calls itself Antler House has come under
fire for alleged racism, as well as having
one of its "members," Daniel McClusky,
charged with an assault that occurred last
Halloween in A-dorm.
Recently, The Daily Ze .. .1 mean
Olympian published three articles
mentioning McClusky and Antler house in,
well, not a very impressive light.
The alleged victim, William Baxter,
has filed a half million dollar tort claim
against the state of Washington, and The
Evergreen State College. for negligence.
In that claim, Antler House is called
"a known racist organization."
So, in the vein of journalistic
responsibility, this reporter decided to seek
out the Antlers. and find out who they are
and what they're all about.
I asked a friend, Katya Baarsma--a
recent Antler addition--to round up a few
Antlers for an interview.
She did. and it went like this ...

What ~ an Antler?
"It is pretty mIlCh an association of
people who primarily met each other
through drinking and socializing on
campus," said Jeff Richard, deemed the
origihal Antler. "It's not an organization or
anything with a clear ideological purpose,
or ideological goal .. It's probably easier to

chuckles filled the room. "They're the
extent of [any] organization."
Richard put it in a nutsheU by
saying, "It's basically people with a sense
of humor... [who] have the inability to take
our selves and this school seriously."
How did Antler House begin?
According to Richard, "Sometime
ago--about three or four years ago--there
was a party, and I managed to imbibe
more then I should have and started to say
(putting his thumbs to his temples while
waving his fingers) 'Ehhhhhh.. .I'm an
Antler!,' and somehow it became
contagious ... [so] every one in the place
started saying 'I'm an Antler' and every
one [there] started to call themselves
'Antler House· .. jt then started to spread
like a rampant disease after that.
How do you become one?
Piper Persoon-Gundy commented on
her induction. "The first couple of days I
was here [on campus] William (Herold)
came up to me and said 'Piper can you
put thumbs up to your temple, wiggle your
fingers and say "Ehhhhh .. .I'm an
Antler"?' ...so if you could do that. and
drink, you were an Antler.. J did, so I am."
Richard reiterated, "Basically if you

define what it isn't then what it is. "
It was agreed among the group that
to actually call Antler House an
organization would imply that it was
organized -- which they profess it isn' t.
"Except for parties," Baarsma added, while

There are no word limits for News

we encourage writers to choose word

subjects they cover.
If you're still
concerned about story length, consult with
the editors. We have bounties of
information. Forum pieces are limited to
600 words; responses are limited to 450
words. If you write over these limits, you
can expect to be edited for space.

"There's really no ceremony. You
just get intoxicated at.a party," said Scott
Tracy, "and you wake up arid you're an
Antler."
A clique with a name?
Everyone affirmed this. .except
Adrian Cheeks, a self-described militant
black, who said, "Actually I wouldn't call
it a clique. because the word 'clique' has
basic connotations of a group apart from
others and we're noL.I mean anyone can
come [and join]."
From a quick scan around the room,
I could see a pretty good cross-section of
people, minus anyone, as Richard stated,
"who dressed like a Guatemalan peasant."
How many are there?
According to the group, they've lost
count--although they estimate about 50 to
60 on campus and countless off-campus in
places from Bellingham, Seattle, and
Spokane to. of all places. Northern Ireland.

WHAT WE PRINT
This depends on: .
I.
Submissions meeting the above
guidelines.
The number of pages and

advertisements in the particular issue.
3.
Libelous materiai will not be
published. We will use The Associated

guide.
4.
We will not publish material whose
only purpose is to be "hateful and
destructive." We know these words are
fairly ambiguous. so we will do our best
to contact you with our concerns.

PRIORITIES SECTION BY SECTION:
NEWS deadline is Monday at noon. We
Wallt- smught news- and -we strive for
objectivity. Try to cover as many sides of
an issue as possible, and talk to sources
from all sides of the story. If you
incorporate your opinion into your story,
then it isn't news, and we can't run it as
news. It can be considered analysis.
viewpoint, or forum. and we appreciate
contributions of those kinds. But we need
news.
--Avoid putting your personal
opinion in news stories.
--Don't use personal pronouns (I,
you).
--Accuracy and thorough research is
vital.
--Information for Newsbriefs is also
Monday noon.
Remember, relevancy
applies.
FORUM AND RESPONSE PIECES:
Again, deadline is Monday noon.
The Cooper Point Journal publishes two
different kinds of letters. A Forum pieCe
focuses on a specifIC issue (not a CPJ
article). A Response piece is in direct
response to a recent CPJ item, article,
cartoon, news brief, etc. Word limits for

forum and response are 600 and 450
words respectively. If you write over this,
you ~ expect to be edited.



RESPONSE
We will try to publish all responses. If we
do not have space for all responses the
week they are submitted, we will publish
the access letters in the next week's issue.
We will try to contact you when this
happens. When many people write on
similar topics. we try to publish a
representative sample of opinions.

FORUM
Relevancy and timeliness are the most
important factors. If many people are
writing on similar topics, we will strive to
show a representative sample.
COLUMNS must be in by Monday at
noon. Columns are procured by
arrangement with editors. The pieces have
themes and are published regularly-weekly, biweekly, or monthly.
THE ARTS AND ENTERTAINMENT
deadline-is Monday at noon. Arts and
entertainment pieces include book, record,
and concert reviews, feature articles or
interviews with authors, or other types of
articles. Pieces deemed to be of relevance
to the Evergreen community will have
precedence, but at the same time the Arts
and Entertainment editor encourages new
authors to come forward with new ideas.
THE CALENDAR deadline is Tuesday at
noon. Again, calendar items must be
submitted with full name and phone
number.
If a phone number for
information is part of the calendar item,
please specify the number you want to

run.
The calendar editor will try to run as
many submissions as possible. but must
sometimes edit items out for space. Items
taking place on campus. or connected with
campus, have first priority. followed by
events in the Olympia community and
events in Seattle or other areas outside the
Olympia area. Also. if an event is free or
low-cost, or a charity benefit, it may
receive placement over more costly events.

COMICS
by Edward Martin ill
I'm the editor of the Comics Page.
I want to print every cartoon that
comes in. If I had my way. the entire
Cooper Point Journal would be composed
of cartoons, from front to back. except for
maybe the Security Blotter. But I only get
one page to fill. so I have to make
decisions. The Social Contract suggests
that reasonable and impartially applied
guidelines may be used.
Cartoonists must draw physically
reproducible cartoons to the correct scale
and must meet deadline every week or
they will be replaced by a waiting
cartoOnist. Waiting-eartoonists are printed
in the order in which they approached me
with appropriate material. I will not print
a cartoon if it appears to be libelous or
infringes copyright.
A recent installment of Coven
House, by Cat Kenney, has generated
controversy over the publication guidelines
and what flaws may exist in them.
A discussion of this issue has led to

the following alterations in the policy of
publishing cartoons on the Comics Page.
Cartoons will continue to be
accepted and published according to the
current guidelines, favoring regular
cartoonists who follow deadlines.
However. if a cartoon arrives that, in
the opinion of an editor. may be perceived
as gratuitously intimidating, violent or
abusive, then the cartoonist will be
contacted to verify the purpose of the
cartoon. The editors may then choose
whether or not to print the cartoon.
The opinions and attitudes expressed
in the comics are those of the contributors
and in no way are meant to reflect the
opinions and attitudes of the staff or
publisher of the Cooper Point Journal.
If there are any questions concerning
these policies. reference may be made to
Section vrn of the · Social Contract
Student Conduct Code Grievance and
Ap~s Process Booklet (WAC 174-121010) or contact the editor of the Comics
Page.

Ah!
Another week, another
adventure in Beverly Hills. I tell ya
BevHeads, there's nothing more satisfying
than knowing that at the height of end-ofquarter insanity I can turn on The Bev and
turn off reality. I mean, what better way
to completely shut yourself" off from all
the "deep" seminar babble, potluck
planning and talk of dichotomies,
paradigms and antidisestablishmentarianism?
Let's face it, The Bev simply isn' t a
deep and meaningful piece of televised art.
I know that that may burst some bubbles
around here (wait till I tell you about the
Easter Bunny) but that's what I'm here to
do: inform the masses. However, being as
it IS the only worthwhile thing on
television these days (troubled times
indeed, friends) let us recap the events of
the past week on Beverly Hills . 90210 ...
In a truly yuppie move, Brenda and
the other girls (women is too strong a

word for these characters) decide that they
need a night of intense female bonding so
as to form a more cohesive group. In the
process they make every effort to ensure
that it will NOT be a slumber party as that
would be too "junior high." Sure Bren,
whatever euphemism you need to allow
you to live with your pathetic self is fine
with us, right BevHeads? At any rate, the

..~,~2;:,~,:~L()O~;: i~~/V'J£.,.

night turns into a slumber party and
includes a friend of KelJy's named
Amanda (Heathers flashbacks, anyone?).
Meanwhile, Steve_and Brandon, after
a failed attempt at buying their way into a
bar, fmd themselves situated with two
women who appear eager to join the boys
(again, men is too strong to use here) in
their quest for eternal bliss in the front
seat of Steve's Corvette. This is all fine
and dandy until the women con Steve into
letting them drive the 'Velte and steal it.
Boys! Boys! Come on now, even I saw
that coming and I don't take hints at all.
How could they be so stupid? Typical
males, thinking with their... Oh nevermind.
After a teary scene at the empty
parking lot, Steve and Brandon (he's such
a nice boy) go to the police to report the
car stolen only to eventually find that the
women have been picked up for speeding
and that they are wanted on outstanding
tickets. Steve is coaxed into posting bail
when The Blonde alludes to sexual favors

,

in return only to bow out on them when
set free. So much for being led around by
one's dick. Maybe next time they'll learn.
Nab. Never. happen.
Back at the Walsh home, Amanda
has started a harsh game of "Skeletons in
the Closet" which is a "socially
acceptable" version of Truth or Dare.
After exposing the skeletons of all the
girls present and in a rather melodramatic
scene obviously designed to tie in at least
one relevant issue with the episode, we
learn that Amanda is an abuser of diet
pills. In a final show of compassion and
true bonding, the girls all gather for a
group hug and cry. Oh the humanity.
That's all she wrote kids. Believe it
or not this will be the last Bev Report
until next quarter. I wish you all a happy
vacation, I know we all need it. Keep
your bangs high and remember, spring is
just around the comer and surfs up!
Skippy is a very nice boy.

The fog is burning off, the soccer
field is drying up, ttillium is blooming and

Have you ever thought about how
we communicate at Evergreen? We are
bombarded by posters, notices, campus
mail, and you name it. It sometimes
becomes a blur. But on the other hand, it
is the potential to learn, to be .stimulated
by the communication that somehow
draws us here to begin with.
It also produces a tremendous
amount of garbage and in some cases a
kind of visual pollution. Undeniably it is
an important way to "get the message out"
and unfortunately you will probably see

some recycling posters or notices in the
near future. ' It is almost impossible to
estimate the amount of paper that is used
for the wallpaper of notices and
announcements. We do know, however,
that every time we send a full page
campus message via the campus mail we
use slightly over one ream of paper.
There are a couple of good ways to
minimize the impact of our methods of
communication at Evergreen. Last week
the newly reformed Recycling and Waste
Reduction Task Force held its frrst
meeting. It will be exploring many of the
options available to us as we begin to
work our way to reducing the waste
stream by 50%.
We want to know what your ideas
are. Give the recycling office a call or stop
by soon. We're at L2613, x6782.

Coordinator at the CPJ.'

,

Cat Kenney's ,
point of view
To those whose wrath I may have
incurred:
I understand that some people have
been upset by my cartoon from the Feb.
20 CPJ, regarding Black History Month
(BHM). These people believe the cartoon
to be racist, when in fact it is anti-racist
and satirical in nature.
I'm sorry you misinterpreted it; I
should have worded it more clearly, but I
wanted to stay as true to the real-life
conversations as possible. I don't presume
to put words in the-character"s mouths, but
the dialogue in the strip most objected to
is directly quoted from people of color. I
am not against Black History Month at all,
I'm merely presenting an alternative
viewpoint. I feel that white radicals have
co-opted BHM with their phony reverence,
and destroyed some of the positive
aspects. This cartoon was meant to
lampoon the limousine liberals who
profess solidarity with blacks, but
somehow never have them over for tea.
It's also intended to represent a view
against the separatist attitude that seems to
pervade this campus. Martin Luther King's
dream was of cooperation, not separation.
Separatism is racist and it breeds hostility.
You can feel its influence on this campus,
perhaps growing from all the fragmented
student groups. I could belong to many of
them due to race, gender, and beliefs, but
I do not because I don't like being stuffed
into a little box with a label.
I think that all groups should work
together--how else are we going to achieve
harmony and unity on this planet, let alone
this campus? These groups are an
excellent opportunity for people with
similar backgrounds and beliefs to find
others to identify with, but they should not
be used as an excuse to barricade out
those with different backgrounds and
beliefs. Otherwise, the members will never
be able to view "outsiders" as individuals,
rather than a member of this or that tribe
or this or that color.
As usual, all cartoons of mine may
be discussed with me via letters to the
CPl. I delight in the opportunity to
explain my views in greater detail.

Women' of.c·o lor
demand their space
,by Diana Gonqlez with Rooke
Adekanbi and Darice R. Johnson

As a woman of color, I found
consolation knowing we ha4 an office, a
room that could serve as a sanctuary. A
sanctuary from the daily attacks on my
mind and my soul. This is a space where
I could share and receive support from
women who understand my experience on
this campus.
This peace of mind was destroyed
by the two white, Euro-American,
Caucasian men and one man of color who
came into our office uninvited. These men
refused to leave when asked. They thought
they had the right to walk into our space ·
and search our files. Their actions are
hostile violations of my sanctuary and my
peace of mind.
Then- they have the nerve to say I
am a racist because I want to be able to
control who gets in my space. I am not
racist just because I want to be able to
say, "No, after being inundated with white
male culture all day, I want to share time
with my sisters."
And then, they have the nerve to tell
me that anger is unhealthy. Let me tell
you something, anger is a healthy response
when your rights are not respected. And
rage is a healthy response after a series of
these attacks.
Why is it so difficult to acknowledge

You or your family may be from

there's a good chance that we've all seen

indignation into the karmic pool in
response to two criticisms of Cat Kenney's

Did you actually read the whole
cartoon before jumping to conclusions?
Do you understand the meaning of
the word sarcasm?! Oh, and what in the

the real meaning of Black History Month.

person.
However, my real reason for writing an apology
is Matthew Pipes' Death of Hearald
cartoon. Week after week for almost three
long years I have opened the CPJ to find
Mr. Pipes attacking the glorious
foundations of American Society. Sir,
where do you think you would' be without
greed, lust for power and overconsumption? How comfortable would
your little life be without the profit? And
how dare you make fun of people who
happen to have pointed crucifixes up their
butts? Mr. Pipes, they happen to be. quite
comfortable, perhaps you should try one
sometimes.
Every night before I fall asleep I just
hope that Matt's subversion will come to
an end. Hopefully this will happen before
he has the chance to make those less
intelligent than us question themselves.
Let's hope this week's Death of Hearald is
the last ever.
Always onto better things.

As elected union stewards on the
TESC campus, we must condemn the
recent attacks on our fellow union
member, Robert Webb.
Robert is a Security Officer at
Evergreen. In a personal, non-job related
incident, a person filed assault charges
against Robert with the Thurston County
Court These charges have now been .
dismissed.
However, before any judicial
determination with regard to these charges,
before any simple due process was
allowed, Robert was attacked and roundly
condemned in student flyers, in the CPl,
and Free Press and in person by members
of this community.
We believe these attacks against
Robert constituted an absolute violation of
Robert's right to privacy and trampled on
his right to due process of law. Further,
those people who used and allowed the
media to be used for this kind of attack,
abuse Ute entire notion of community.
They condemn a person and his character
without recourse.
We also are highly critical of the
administration's handling of this attack.
Bob asked the administration for
protection, but received no support. He
obtained a court order against the release
of employee information. The
administration still released Robert's
employee information.

retarded,) then you could probably land a
job with the US Department of Defense
(DOD).

Since 1963 the DOD has detonated
650 such devices (costs of tests ranging
from $6 million to $100 million each),
half of which have resulted in leaked
radiation to groundwater, soil and the
atmosphere.
Presently, the US and Great Britain
are the only two countries blocking a
Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty (CTBn
which would block these tests worldwide.
The present Administration, despite calls
from the former Soviet Union, both
Houses of Congress, the US Conference of

Mayors, and despite the vast majority of
world opinion, still insists on the necessity
of such tests to ensure national security.
This is a questionable position when
you note that many of the signatories to
the Non-Proliferation Treaty have
threatened not to renew their pledge in
1995 if there is no CTBT in place. Also
considering the already existing capability
of the once-feared arch-nemesis, the Soviet
Union, one might wonder why the testing
continues.
But nuclear testing will continue
unless the Bush administration is
convinced that the public will no longer
stand for the continuation of this
unnecessary and highly dangerous testing,
especially when it continues at the expense
of programs that would truly invest in the
long-term security and prosperity of this
country such as education, health care,
infrastructure and housing.
From April 10 to 19. people from all
over the world will converge in Nevada to
attract world attention to the Test Site and
nuc1ear testing, and to call for the
achievement of a CTBT. The culmination
of the protests will be non-violent civil
disobedience at the test site for what will
be the Earth day event of 1992. Anyone
interested in going is strongly encouraged
to contact the campus Peace Center for
information regarding a group of
Evergreen students traveling to Nevada to
take part in the protest.
Dan Ewing is an Evergreen student
who will be going to Nevada in April.

but a political issue that involves many
complex factors. What I see as central in
working to end this pandemic is
addressing the wide variety of oppression
that plays a role in whose voices are
heard, what information is disseminated,
and who gets access to medical care.
If we choose to address the issue as
just being about a virus and the body
fluids one must avoid, this pandemic will
continue to grow at alarming rates. We
must begin to take a pro-active stance on
addressing mv and the oppressiveness of
our society.
We must take the
opportunities that this pandemic offers to
build a network response that works
against the exclusionary practices of our
society.
With those thoughts on the table I
turn it over to Ric.
Ricardo: First of all, we need to address
this "end...pandemic". This virus is far
from beginning to take full effect within
this society. We must not look at ending,
rather at adjusting.
The medical community insists on
giving us poisons to help in combating the
virus. How could something that kills,
cure?
Well anyway, we should all have a
basic understanding of AIDS/HIV by now,
right?
Lukan says that AIDS/lllV
education is not enough. I understand
something in this statement that makes me
want to respond, but I don't know where
to start. For example: what good is
knowing that condoms are good if you

Sv>

take a pro-active position in such a stifling
society?
AIDS equals coalition building. All
I ask is who decided that coalition would
be the word. We (sometimes) lie · to
ourselves and say that we could fight this
togethe!, yet. who sacrifices their voice?
Are vOIceS gtven the chance to speak with
this coalition, or are w~ cattle to be herded
1<;> ZAPs? When will the ones whose
silence equals survival speak out, or
whether the opporturuty will be provided.
Lukan...

Lukan: To start off, in my activist role I
go out into the community with the hope,
through education efforts, of preventing
one person from becoming infected. But in
realizing that I am lucky if I reach only
one person, I make an effort to provide
information that aims to take the stigma
away from the virus so that if a person
becomes infected, or may already be so,
they can look on their infection with a
pro-active perspective.
This is sounding fairly unclear so I'll
move into the next point about how mv
is more than just a virus and avoiding
body fluids. What I meant is that the
narrow focus on mv as a virus that is
contained in certain body fluids allows our
society to avoid addressing who is
becoming infected, who is able to access
any form of medical care, and whose
deaths are being counted.
I would like to address Ricardo's
point about who controls the power in
coalitions. Supposedly the word "coalition"
defines a group of people working
together for a common goal. But too often
in the coalitions that are formed
individuals bring their own power/privilege
issues in with them. They come in as
white gay males (who often times pass for
straight in our society) with the belief that
their perspectives should dominate. They

Ricardo: Yes, "on a technical level sex
becomes unsafe when two persons
share/exchange bodily fluids" is a nice
way of putting it But look at what is
being asked of the two individuals, that
they not share, not trust, not love(?).
OK, we must begin to adjust and
apply these values into already
complicated matters. For example, being
queer I've always been told that as a
homosexual I couldn't experience a real
romantic relationship, because it was
unnatural, immoral, sick, etc.
We afftrnled our beliefs and want to
express them sexually, yet this is just one
way of expressing our love (not the hippie
kind). Blah blah blah ...
Anyway, you're right, one should
have safer sex when possible. But
remember, don't think th.at because
someone knows their status that they will
have safer sex with you. Only you can
prevent forest fires, only you (Smokey the
Bear).

Ricardo: Let me continue. Let's look at
this from a different perspective. We live
in a society that has evolved within a
colonialist perspe!.:tiYe (key word _here,
folks). Then (not to be offensive here,
folks) the civil movement comes along
and BAMMB we think that the past hate
(heritage) we have acquired from our
fathers is no longer a part of us. How do
we talk with ourselves when we don't
want to listen to each other?
I understand that some ideas must be
sacrificed, but shit, must this happen all
the fucking time?!? I don't want you to
like me or understand me-- just give me
the respect that I deserve and listen to me.
I think that more people are needed to
continue this issue so....
Writing about this is hard for the
simple reason that it will make things
difficult for my already non-existent
sexual lifestyle on campus. Do you know
how hard it is to get laid if you choose to
be out about your status? Sure, you could
say that so long as one practices safer sex
(key word here, folks) there's no reason
for not having sex with anyone. Not! You
say that this infection (key word here,
folks) does not exclude me from having a
completely natural relationShip. However,
how many times have I jerked off with
images of your white virile bodies, 'cause
none of you boyz want to give me your
booty. I am a rotting mass of flesh whose
only difference from you is that I rot just
a tad quicker than you. There's more to
lJIe than this positive status.
OK, now that I got that off my chest
let me throw it back to you, Lukan, with

Lukan: But seriously folks, HIV/AIDS is
an issue that can no longer be ignored. Get
angry and take action.
Ricardo: But seriously folks, if you don't
give a hoot, watch out; you may be one of
the 2-3 million who will care. So be
positive, be happy!

How did you all meet each other and
decide to form a band?
Justin: We met at art school. (general
laughter) lust like Nirvana!
No, really.
Justin: We met each other on sports
teams. I met Vern when he and I were
on this baseball team, Brandt was on a
soccer1eam. I don't know how they met
each other.
Was this in high school?
Justin: No, this was in, like, lhird grade.
Third grade.
Vern: Yeah.
When did you decide to form a band?
Justin: That was in fourth grade.
How long have you been playing your
instruments?
Brandt: Couple months.
Vern: About as long as we've been In
the band.
Justin: Since fourth grade.
(At this point I'm thinking, "Oh. I see,
they're going to be difficult." I press on,
undaunted.)
(To Justin) Why is your guitar wrapped
up in duct tape?
Justin: It's protection, so it docsn't
break. Cause I broke it, then I had to
tape it up.
Vern: It's a power tool.
Justin: I can channel more energy into it
from the stage lights. It can absorb more
stage light into the guitar.
(giant pause) What's the funniest thing
you've ever seen?
Vern: Naperville.
Justin: The funniest thing I've ever
seen? Ever, in my entire life?
Vern: The Naperville punk rock scene.
Justin: I don't know ... God... uh, there's a
lot of funny things. I'm trying to think,
there was something really funny at that
show last night... but I can't remember.
Brandt: I see funny things all the time,
why can't I think of anything?
(The aforementioned Nate, hiding in the
closet, blows on a comedy slide whistle.
The timing is flawless .)

Justin: We're putting out a record on the

Do you all hang. Qut together a lot?
Justin: Here and there, yeah, sure.

How often do you practice?

What's your opinion of the Olympia

scene there is. (laughter) No, really, if

Vern: Probably, I do have that one.
Justin: Do you have Rock 80? That is
the coolest K-Tel album.

it's got the Kinks on it

Melvins. They're the best band in the
world.
Weren't they good last night? Do you

Justin: lust 'The Melvins.' That's all
that counts.
Brandt: The Melvins count. That's all .
Seconds after Unwound left, Nate
and Ned leaped, or rather fell, out of the
closets, laughing insanely. I didn't think
it was that funny, as I was still trying to
decide whether or not that had been a
good interview (it was my first), and
besides, everyone was totally oblivious to
their joke, anyway.
Unwound have a single coming out
in April, prior to their two-week
California tour. I suggest you check this
band out They have an appreciation for
Hostess snacks, and Justin has this
charmingly blatant disregard for mike

"Persistence overcomes resistance,"
said Queen Latifah. Getting signed on to
a record company had always been one
of the dreams she and her high school
friends had shared. She said she got
denied air time but she doesn't let
anybody tell her what she can't do.
She was very comfortable at the
podium and encouraged people to come
up to the mikes. One guy went up and
asked what she thought of Japanese rap
and sang a verse of one of his songs
called "Yellow Peril." It rocked.
She doesn't believe in censorship

"I like this multicultural audience,"
said Queen Latifah at a lecture she gave
last week at the University of
Washington. Now for those who've
never heard of this royalty, Queen
Latifah rocks the nation as a rap star.
Crowned in 1988 at the age of 18 she
now has her own management company
that has produced other rap stars like
Naughty by Nature.
Her trademark is her name and the
way she dresses. She said she didn't
want to be "M.C,", a prefIx to most
rappers' titles, and she didn't want to
look like all the other rappers that wear
oversized coats and heavy gold chains.
"Not that I don't dress that way
every day, " said Latifah who was
wearing a simple black cotton pants and
shirt with a white baseball cap and thick
gold chain.
She started out by saying that she
didn't want to talk the whole time. She
gave a short introduction of herself and

right to call a girl a bitch."
But she doesn't think that dissin'
on men will help any. She believes in
positive reinforcement
"I try to pump them with selfesteem ... a respect yourself kind of thing."
On censorship she said that, "You
shouldn't let the government make your
decisions for you."

Insensitive feminist reading for "bad" liberals

Liberal crap was really getting to
me. Reading The Nation , Mother Jones,
etc. left me with an empty feeling. I '
mean, I grew up in a nauseatingly liberal '
environment, so being nice and sensitive
and understanding and left-wing was not
only the same boring shit I grew up with,
it was becoming clear to me that it was
a lifestyle that didn't work.
Then I discovered feminism. No,
not the nice girl Gloria Steinem "do the
right thing" fossilizing wing of feminism
(don't get me wrong, women like her
have made and are making invaluable
contributions to the world, it's just that
once you understand and internalize her
ideas, it's time to move on). And no, not

grain of salt--if you have the time).
The branch of femini sm I'm talking
about cannot be tagged to one individual ,
but my first encounter with it was the
book Caught Looking (Real Comet Press,
Seattle, 1988, unfortunately now out of
print). Caught Looking is a collection of
essays written by feminists to counter the
anti-pornography movement. The book Do not taunt Diamandia Galas. photo by

For example, on the more
sensationalist side:

be healthy for Jewish people to have
sexual fantasies about the Holocaust.
--Holly

proclaiming, "I have a dick and I know
what to do with it."
_. --Bright confessing, "I masturbated
to the Meese Commission Report until I
about passed out--it's the filthiest

bell hooks (she spells her name
with lower case letters) writing, "Until
women committed to the feminist
movement fully accept men as comrades
in struggle who have every right to
participate in the movement (and no right
to dominate) and recognize that they
(men) would then be called by political
accountability to assume a major role in
. feminist struggle to end sexism and sexist
, oppression, the trans formative vision of
revolutionary feminism will not be
concretely actualized in our lives."
I could go on for pages describing
Angry Women, because almost every page
can profoundly affect how you think
about the world, but the point of this
. article is to get you to read the book, not
summarize it.
The thoughts in Angry Women
stretch and liberate what it means to be
human, even for a white heterosexual
man like myself. Feminism is one of the
few areas alive and kicking, and Angry
Women portrays that life well. Hopefully
with the ideas embodied in this book,
. both women and men can .get beyond a
liberalism that is scared, guilty, cynical ,
and dissatisfied.
Tedd Kelleher wants you 10 know
that Angry Women is available at
Bulldog News in downtown Olympia, and
the Evergreen bookstore. He is the former
editor of the Cooper Point Journal, and
has unfortunately repossessed his Bat Out
of Hell tape.
