Pit, day count: 121. photo by Seth Long
by Paul H. Henry
The excavation project in front of Adorm, originally scheduled to have been
wrapped up at the end of OctOber, is
finally nearing completion, according to
Evergreen's Office of Facilities.
"We're looking at completion at
around the first of March, unless we get
more rain," said Robert "Bear" Holmes,
Construction Coordinator for Facilities.
"We had no idea at the beginning that this
would be so complex."
The project currently exists as a
large, fenced-in "pit" in the Housing area
which panially blocks a heavily used
pathway between Housing and the main
campus.
On Oct. 22, 1991, Facilities broke
ground on the project, expecting to fmd an
easily repairable leak in the steam supply
line.
What the workers found instead was
a condensate pump return line which was
rusted and which required
repla,cemenL
"The pipe, mostly just because it
20 years old, was rusted and damaged

'
manholes," said Holmes.
Evergreen has no staff engineer, so
Facilities commissioned an independent
engineer to develop a system to repair the
line and prevent future damage. The flCSt
proposal had to be rejected because it was
too costly, but the second proposal was
within budget limits and was adopted.
The replacement pipe was ordered in
mid-December but did not arrive until Jan.
17. Since that day, Facilities has been
prevented from proceeding with the
project by heavy rains which saturated the
exposed dirt and hindereg. welding.
Currently, Facilities ~ engaged in
excavating the waterlogged dirt and
replacing it with gravel. which would
allow the water to run off of the work
surface.
Holmes is satisfied that the
engineering proposal Facilities is
implementing will prevent similar
problems froIp happening in the future.
"This is going to outlast everything else
around here," he said.

Evaluation declares Campus
Security d'ysfunctional
by Bryan Connors
"Performance of the security unit is
poor. The group is essentially
dysfunctional due to their inability to
respond effectively to incidents. Trust and
confidence in the security group by the
campus community has been severely
damaged by the actions of its members,"
stated a report on campus security issued
by an independent consulting firm on
February 16.
This report goes on to suggest that
the college regain control of the Security
agenda by revising the existing Standard
Operating Procedure (SOP) in order to
define more clearly the role, structure, and
mission of Security.
Campus SafelY and Security at The
Evergreen State College. published by
Warrington and Associates, Inc., covers
nearly all aspects of campus safety and
related iss ues, fro~ the responsibilities of
the Campus SecUrIty Force to the safety of
the campus in ge~era1.
Mark Warnngton and Dr. Robert
Shellows of the Portland-based fmn were
commissioned by the Vice President's
office earlier in the academic year when,
as Interim President Les Puree said, "The
current policy concerning [campus]
security was just not working."
The report cites the assault in Adorm last Halloween, vigilantism and the
student surveillance/capture of car vandals,
a staff director instructing students to call
911 instead of Security, and the excessive
responsibilities of Student Housing
managers as :':IC basis of these criticisms.
The report states that during the
assault last Halloween, "The willingness of
individual officers to stand back while
incidents transpire, where they could have
safely and effectively intervened is seen as
callous disregard and contempt for the
campus community. Many interpreted this
as a cynical act on the part of some
officers who arc withholding services-hiding behind the narrowest of
interpretation of the work place safety
(Labor & Industry) citations. It is seen as
a means of forcing acceptance of 'their'
proposal for a police department on
campus."
According to records and witness
reports, Security arrived after the assault
took place, but waited eight minutes until
Thurston County Sheriffs arrived before
taking action.
Warrington and Shellows found tha~,
"The security group has allowed thelC
services to atrophy, ostensively due to the
Labor and Industry's restrictions. But the
present state of affairs stems more from a
long-standing lack of leadership than from
dicta from any outside agency."
The report also states, "The first
indication of alienation from [Security's]
campus clientele came in 1984 when
officers successfully petitioned the Higher
Education Personnel Board (HEPB) to be
categorized as 'Campus Police Officers.'
This set the stage for a breakdown in
leadership within the department and the
emergence of de-facto leadership from
within the ranks . The more active
members of the department became
preoccupied and consumed by the issue of

lmlte armln~
by Bryan Connors and Giselle Weyte
Limited arming of Campus Security
officers has been recommended by an
independent security consultant firm in a
report on Evergreen's Campus Security,
released February 16.
The consultants, Mark Warrington
and Dr. Robert Shellows, recommend that
"a limited number of qualified security
officers be armed with standard police
duty firearms as approved by the college
so that an armed officer is on campus at
all times."
Arming Security is not the answer to
Evergreen's Security dilemma, in the
consultant's opinion, but it is a serious
part of their proposal.
The report rejects the opinion that
guns are necessary to control campus
incidents. "The claim that Security cannot
respond to most incidents safely and
effectively is preposterous in light of the
thousands of security departments,
nationwide, many on college campuses
that perform protective functions without
relying on lethal force [guns]."
Nonetheless, the consultants feel
armed security will belter protect officers,

Jane Jervis·
by Andrew Hamlin
"I've become more and more
convinced
that
traditional
higher
education is facing some real problems,"
Evergreen Presidential candidate Jane
Jervis told students during an open forum
in the S&A enclosure February 19.
"One [problem] is that the
traditional
structure
of
academic
departments is based on an organization
of knowledge from the late nineteenth
century," said Dr. Jervis, a Yale graduate
who is cun:cntly Dean of Bowdoin
College in Brunswick, Maine. "It's not
able to respond very well to the new
kinds of knowledge and understanding
about the world which have been
developing in the late twentieth century.
Interdisciplinary progI'l!ms in traditional
colleges are having a very hard time ...
getting organizational backing, because
they trespass on turf that' s being
vigorously defended," Jervis said.
"There is a real energy to this
place, that derives from this different
Presidential
Candidate
approach to learning," said Jervis about
Evergreen. "I think that Evergreen has a
great deal to teach the rest of the higher
education
establishment
in
this
country ... one of the things that's a
challenge for Evergreen is that this is no
longer such a young school. You're
beginning to look at [the] issues of being
a mature institution."
Asked if she would consider
limiting the college's enrollment to deal
with budget problems, Jervis responded,
"There's some things particular about
Evergreen, sufficiently different from
other institutions, that you can ' t simply
scale up indefinitely. The things you do
here are probably best done in a small

We've hired a great group of

An audience member asked Dr.
Jervis' opinion of the evaluation process.
"I think [it's] wonderful, if you have the
stamina to do it, it's a lot of work," she
said, and asked, "Do you experience it as
valuable Or just a pain?" The speaker
said he thought evaluations had a greater
risk to them, beCause "you can't hide in
the shadows." "That's right," Iervis said. '
"One of the exciting things about
Evergreen is that everybody always puts
themselves on the line."
The next question was how
Evergreen could have a truly diverse
community. "I would put to you that
there are other kinds of diversity besides
racial diversity," said Jervis, citing
diversities of "age, life experience, and
economic background," but said that
racial diversity at the college could be
improved. "Bowdoin College, which beats
itself to death about being homogenous
and un-diverse, is 13% students of color,"
as opposed to Evergreen's own 10%. She
admitted that Bowdoin, as a private
college, can recruit students of color from
allover the country, but added, "I see no
reason why Evergreen can't have at least
its share of Washington students of color,
and it doesn't have that now."
Another audience member asked
Jervis how she would pick a college
provost. "The faculty would have a good
deal to say about it, and I would insist
on student representation in the process.

testing is anonymous and free, but that that "it is important for anyone who has
engaged in high risk behavior to get tested
for HIV so that the spread of infection can
be curbed and treatment may begin."
So if these tests are so important for
both personal and public health, why is it
so difficult, costly and risky to receive one
around here?
Peter Chapa, director of the
Evergreen Health Center, defends the new
policies concerning HIV testing. "Last year
we were able to offer the tests for free
because Thurston County would do the lab
work for us. Since then fumUng for that
program has been cut" He ' wanted to
make clear that the Health Center was not
actually charging for the tests no,w, but
that the fee is for the samples to be sent to
a private lab The $21 is for the rust test,
but since there is cross-reactivity with
other viruses, a second test will be done to
all positive samples. This test is more
acc urd te and costs $4 5.
These charges also eliminate any
shot at offering anonymous testing because
a real name has to be used for billing.
"It's mighty difficult to track down a fake
name if someone doesn't pay the bi1\,"
Chapa said. As far as the confidentiality
issue goes, Chapa insists that if the Health
Center was not able to offer 100%
anonymity, then it had no business

advertising as such. He claims that the
office space is too small and faees are too
familiar on this campus to offer that.
However he does assure anyone concerned
about this, that the record keeping for HIV
testing will be kept separate from the
regular medical files. These separate files
will be kept under lock and key.
Chapa also wanted to clear up any
misunderstandings about the reporting of
names to the state. "Neither positive or
negative results are reported, only those of
actual AIDS cases," he said.
Testing at the Health Center will be
conducted on Tuesday mornings by
appointment. To put people at ease, Chapa
says when they come in for the test they
can just 'ask for Peter.' Mea n w h i Ie,
down at the Thurston County Health
Department, Diana Iohnson is looking
forw!U'd to a new program that will feature
a mobile van that will go around to
various areas of the county to conduct
HIV testing and counseling. But she says
that they are having a hard time rmding
places to set up. "People just don't want
an 'AIDS van' parked in front of their
mal!."
At any rate ,if you are having trouble
finding mv testing in Olympia there are
alternatives. Every county offers free
testing, so if you can get to Tacoma you
might have an easier time. The People of
Color Against AIDS Network also offers
free testing at the Harborview Medical
Center at 9th and Jefferson in Seattle.

report, from cover
creating a police force on campus."
Evergreen employees complained to
Labor & Industries in late 1989, and
obtained a citation against Evergreen with
an interpretation of workplace safely
doctrine. Officer activists soon lobbied
the State Senate to force administration to
yield to officer demands for more
protection.
The Standard Operating
Procedures were rewritten in collaboration
with L & I, and the resulting redefinitio'n
of duties resulted in less emergency
response fro'm officers.
In 1991, Security officers were cited
by L & I for not following the SOP. "The
result was a severe reduction of response
service by the Security department," says
the report. "Officers have elected to not
expose themselves to any risk whatsoever.
By ' working to the rule' the department
has been rendered dysfun ctional [emphasis
theirs] ."
The current SOPs, according to the
report, are being "misinterpreted and
applied improperly in the field," .~~. that
"immediate action Lshould] be taken to
restore the existing SOP to a workable
condition by clarification of the issues
relating to response and officer safety,',' an
. action which would include representalives
from Security officers, the Sheriff's
Office, L & I, Student Housing managers,
and the Emergency Communications
guns, from cover
students, and other members of the
campus community in the event that the
Thurston County Police Department cannot
res pond to a call immedi<ltely .
/
The report continues, "Concerns OV9r
improper usc, acc idental
shooting,
weapons retenti on, etc., must be <Iddressed
by thorough training and screening of the
offi cer to be ann cxl... "
"While all members of the
community should be informed that some
officers arc armed, we suggest that
offi cers carry weapons concealed in order
to eliminate visual prominence of a gun
(because the sight of a gun offends some)
and also because having them concealed
may improve officer safety in some
situations."
The report goes on to emphasize
rigorous training and psychological
screening before any officer is allowed to
carry a firearm, and also suggests that
officers carry less-than-letllal self-defense
weapons such as mace or collapsible
batons.
Washington State law states that
individual citizens may carry concealed
weapons witll permits issued by the
Sheriff.
Evergreen's Social Contract
forbids any firearms on campus, and there
has been argument over whether the state
law takes precedence over Evergreen law.
According to tlle report, some of the
individuals who the consultants "spoke
with on campus indicated they do carry
concealed wC<J po ns under [Washington
State] law," but that "our understanding is
that the Evergreen Board of Trustees has
Center (BCC) (which is within the security
, ,'
department).
Warrington and Shellows also
criticize past administrations for
"...(givlng] a low priority to dealing with
, the security needs of the campus durin);
the formative years of Evergreen as an
experiment."
They suggest that Security be
allowed to intervene and make arrests
when illegal activity is taking place if all
other options have been exhausted, if not
making an arrest would make the situation
more dangerous, and if there isn't time to
wait for Thurston County Sheriff's
Deputies. This, according to the report,
would greatly reduce ' the danger to
Security officers.
They advise, however, that the bulk
of law enforcement continue to remain in
the hands of the Thurston County Sheriff's
Department. This inclufles suspending the
practice of conducting in-house criminal
investigations, tuming such matters over to
the Sheriff's office.
Other 'recommendations include:
-Overturning the Higher Education
Personnel Board's categorization as a
"Police Force" to a "Security Force."
-Bettering public relations by
establishing bike patrols, discarding
current uniforms and badges (which, the
report states, makes Security look like a
police force), having more communication
with the community at large, and renaming
the authority to enforce the rule
prohibiting concealed weapons on the
college premises."

I Evergreen recycling attitudes exemplary ,
,!
i
by Greg Wright
One of the hardest concepts for our
society to understand is the notion that
recycling is much more than separating
garbage for the recycling collection truck.
Effective management of our waste
stream must be a comprehensive approach
that will "reduce before we produ~e" as
well as use products made from the
material that we have recycled.
Over the past week, I have heard
several comments that would lead me to
believe that the recycling and waste
reduction effort at Evergreen is somewhat
less than desirable. So I put on my "waste
buster" uniform and was excited to find
that "it ain't necessarily so." In fact,
compared to other institutions from around
the state, we have come a long way.
There is a reasonable collection
program in pl~ce. ~ost peo~le are not far
from a recycling bm and dId you know
that every week we take 10 forklift tubs
full of paper, 40-50 barrels of glass, and
several tons of cardboard to the recycling
center?
That is not to say that we can and
will do belter, but to underscore that
recycling is alive and well at Evergreen.
The most exciting activity is much
less visible. It has to do with attitude and '
the general awareness level of those who
are responsible for all of the supplies that
are shipped into the school. The library,
for instance, sends back excess packing
material and 'reuses cardboard shipping
containers. The purchasing department'
actively seeks out distributors who carry
p~oducts
With. recycled co~te.nt.
DIstributors are discouraged from shlppmg
styrofoam material. Take a look at the
products in the bookstore the next time
you are shopping and you will fmd a
much larger variety of recycled products
than you would find just about anywhere
else. The next time you use one of the
public restrooms look closely at the toilet
paper. You will notice that it is not
sparkling white and when you wipe your
hands it is on cloth towels not disposable
paper ones.
'
There have been many people who
have helped develop our waste reduction
and recycling efforts. None, however,

Steve, Brandon and Andrea convince Nat
to take them to the track, illegally. The

the excursion is Brandon ' s absolutely

The question of additional student
housing will be among items discussed at
a meeting of TESC' s board of trustees.
Trustees reached no decision on the
proposed resolution <Ipproving construction
of ,a non-profit Adult Student Housing
(ASH) project ncar the campus at a
previous meeting.
It is also uncertain, at this point,
whether Evergreen will build additional
mOdular units east of the current ones if
the ASH project doesn't materialize ....
Tuition beginning Fall quarter, 1972 will
be $165 a quarter for res ident students, an
increase from $149.

10 YEARS 'AGO
Responding to a long-time facility
need at Evergreen, the legislature
appropriated funding in July 198 1 to pay
for the construction of a new gymnasium
at the CRC. The proposed project, based
on a model completed on Dec. 4, 1981, is
40,782 square feet and will provide a twobay gym, two multi-purpose rooms,
i1thlctic offices, and storage, and the
'existing men's and women' s locker rooms
will be equalized.

Co-op neglects ,r ights of physically challenge'd
by Michael McNeilly
I've enjoyed shopping at the
Olympia Food Co-op since I moved to
town. Olympia newcomers soon locate the
one place around here where ' things like
adzuki beans, bulk golden seal, vegetarian
gourmet foods and honestly organic
produce are available.
So it was with mixed feelings that I
tore up my membership card, stapled it to
a form and dropped it in the suggestion
box a couple of weeks ago.
The fact is, I cannot shop in an
establishment that, through insensitivity,
lack of understanding or simple lazy
omission, fails to provide itslservices to a
segment of our population whose rights
have traditionally been violated.
I believe that once there were two
parking spaces in front of the co-op,
designated for handicapped use; certainly
there was one, until recently. The vestiges
of markings remain, but no one pays
attention to them anymore, and the spaces
directly in front of the building are now
always filled by the Volkswagens and
Volvos of the "currently able."
Marked spaces arc important for
reasons beyond the convenience of
proximity. Handicapped spaces are
designed to be wide enough to allow
access to and from a wheelchair. If
someone parks too close to the passenger
side of my van, I sit and wait to get in. If
no sufficiently large spaces are available,
I don't park there at all.
. Inside, conditions continue to
worsen. A large, unnecessary display cuts
off all access to the magazines. End caps
and Qther barriers pop up at every tum.
Last year, the restroom was
remodeled, but boxes and storage units
limit access to the recently-widened door.
Even access to the "free box" out front
was cut off, for no reason, by some kind
of bike rack. I wrote three "suggestions"
regarding these problems, but after several
months, nothing has been done: in fact,
barriers have multiplied.
People with disabilities live close to
the edge of things in may ways. We are
possibly the class most subject to "hidden
discrimination" in seeking employment.
We learn to live on minimized incomes
and daily experience a culturally-validated
level of discrimination, patronization and
non-acceptance that rivals that of any
minority group,
Many of us are on special diets.
We're aware of our health, and how
prccious it is, and we buy ecinacea and
dong quai and ginseng and natural
vitamins. We avoid sugar, meat, or MSG,
or the weird waxy stuff other stores seem
to dip their vegetables in. It is not
reasonable for us to shop anywhere but at
the co-op, where one can put together a
good, additive-free, healthy meal for less
money than anywhere else in town.
If any disabled individuals work in
the co-op, I have not seen them. Many of
us are members though, and the co-op
even offers us a 10% discount, which is
apprecilUed by those of us who can get
into the place to use it.
Co-op workers are typically friendly
and helpful, but people in 'wheelchairs
don't like to ask for help, and will in
many cases refuse assistance. Women
who've had someone race to open a door
for them, someone who says "ladies ftrst,"
with a self-satisfied bow, know exactly
why this is. But we do ask that it be made
possible for us to help ourselves.
I miss the co-op, but it needs
clearly-marked spaces, the removal of
internal barriers, and a rebirth of
consciousness. Meanwhile, calls to the coop by friends, asking if my personal
boycott had caused any action, have
generated no positive response. I expected
to receive assurances and a replacement
membership card by return mail, but I've
heard nothing at all from my fairly
adamant "suggestion." It's been two weeks
now, and I don't think they plan to
improve things until they are forced to do
so.
I have the use of both arms and a
leg, and can negotiate the minor barriers
posed by 'the coop. But I will not shop in
the only major local food store from
which my more severely-disabled brothers
and sisters are excluded.
The situation is made embarrassingly
ironic by the fact that the co-op seems in
every othe( way to be so relentlessly PC.
And while there is no doubt that
considerations of whether a product
contains sugar or unnecessary
preservatives are legitimate and important,
I'm sure you!lI agree that they are
secondary to matters of basic Civil rights.
,
Even George Bush was enlightened
enough to sign the Americans with
Disabilities Act, which became law this
year. This legislation will force
organizations like the co-op to provide
reasonable access to disabled customers
and employees. But somehow I don't feel
we should allow a community food
cooperative to delay compliance with
equal opportunity legislation. Doesn't the
idea of a "cooperative" imply a bit more
than that? '
I hope awareness of this problem
widens my little boycott, and that some of
you will make known your support of
access for all citizens. And I hope the coop will "cooperate" at last. I miss my
adzuki beans, I'm running out of those
little green crystals I put in the bath water,
and when I asked a clerk at Ralph's about
daikon, he pointed me towards the bug
spray.

Men need to speak out against male-bashing
by Eric Wirsing and Eric Featherstone
We are living in a male-dominated
society. For most of us, this is old news.
Male-domination is nothing new, as author
Riane Eisler says: It has about a 6,000
year heritage. All of this we do not
dispute. It exists in the Bible, in our social
institutions, in our wage scale, and even in
the household. Unfortunately, the problem
at hand is not male-domination.
It is feminism.
Before you fIrebomb my house or
kill my dog, let me say that this is no slur
against women. We have no illusions that
we are different and that our bodies were
built for different tasks (do you think a
man could have a baby, even with the
right equipment?), but we are also
equalists. Concerned equalists, writing this
article on behalf of humankind.
But now we must justify our attack.
Feminism is a problem in that it achieves
nothing anymore. It has in fact created
strife and discrimination in the workplace;
women can tell blue jokes and goose their
favorite co-workers, while men who flash
the occasional "come hither smile" get the
boot. This has happened to friends of
mine. It creates phenomena like the
Thomas-Hill Trials (yes, we said Trials)
and sexual harassment is now a daily news
item. We would like to simply hang our
hats and ignore this, but the media will not
let us.
Is Supreme Court Justice Clarence
Thomas really a hero? Was justice ever to
be realized for this case? No. It was a
non-existent case. The simplicity of the
matter is that Anita Hill never took
Thomas to court, where it should have
been handled. The nationwide coverage of
this particular event destroyed the
possibility of an unbiased hearing.
Looking at the possibility that
Thomas may have discussed his sexual
prowess, Hill opens a new enigma for
societal development. If he did, was he
just being a man? What is being a man,
for that matter? If there is little to no
possibility that a man can be more than a
sexually harassing element to the female
half of society then the current system is
flawed in that a great number of men
should be jailed.
"Wimmen's groups" and whatnot
create and accentuate differences between
the groups that they try to reconcile with,
if indeed they want recognition and
reconciliation. A sign saying "women
only" is simply another element of
discrimination, gIVIng the okay to levy
laws regulating what a woman can and
cannot do. These special irterest groups
also build entirely new boundaries where
there used to be none, as well as lending
strength to those that already exist. This in
our opinion is the greatest crime, because
it forceS men to confront these differences,
and they can shake their heads and say
"yes, they are a different species entirely."
The recent feminist action on
campus, "Sexual harassers, we know who
you are!" is an clement of antagonism.
The griping of feminists about the male
persona never seems to end. Men seem to
simply identify with the role that women
gripe about, rather than saying "There
seems to be a rift caused by our
differences. Why don't we try to work
together to solve them?" Instead, the
feminist movement has chosen to belittle
the female persona and has steered men
away from listening to women and
working together. Some men listen to
women and say that it makes sense, but
rather than finding a solution, label
themselves ("Scum," etc).
Well, it has come to our attention
that there is a lot of labeling going on
between men and women (i.e. Men =
Scum; Feminist = Bitch). This is a trend
that should not be allowed to continue.
This tends to dichotomize men and women
and distorts reality. As psychologist
Suzanne Retzinger writes ""lbe process of
objectification and alienation [i.e.
"labeling"] go against the very social
nature of the human being. The value of
things over others alienates human beings
from nature, self, and others, transforming
social beings into isolated individuals."
Isolated individuals CANNOT GET
THINGS OONE.
Solving these differences is
impossible when female persons only talk
about the rotten details and never deal
with the solution to the enigmas facing
men. It is everyone's problem when a
prodigious portion of the male population
fits the socially deviant personality of
sexual harasser.
..
Males tend to relate to women in a
self-destructive way. Male social circles
generally objectify women and place
importance upon "scoring." If they are
honest and open with women, they are
accused by their fellow men of being
"sensitive" or "femf:)\ist men." (God
forbid!) When they try to side with
feminists the militant ones cry "You don't
count, you're a MAN." Extreme cries
labeling men as "slime" (or my favorite,
"all men are assholes") also do their
damage. With all this against them, men
tend to adopt a mask of self-hate, all the
while losing touch with their feelings.
Men need to have their own
realization or a concept of self. If men
grow to think that they are terrible there
must be a Male Movement. Men need to
gain support in order to realize their selfworth. Understanding why a man thinks
the way he does is simple. Ego is built
through comparison and competition. If
ego is constructed.on a major emphasis on
competition then feminism (to th'e man)
destroys the male ego every time an
epithet is pasted on him.
A month or two back, I was
watching something with friends on the
television, and a friend of mine said "Hey,
look! A woman brigadier! Killer!" "I long
for the day when no one notices that," I
replied. That last example was a prime
clue as to what's going on. The boundaries
must be dissolved.
We think it is our duty as informed
people to spend our energy not in making
more noise, but in making more friends,
allowing men their opinion--especially if
they're.on your side, ladies. We count just
as much as anyone dOes. Also allowing
men inside these groups might help
destroy much of the discrimination against
women, these closed activities might just
be achieving the opposite of the desired
effect. If men start raising Cain as well,
perhaps something might get done.
Eric Wirsing and Eric Featherstone

Response: Security hiring questioned
A recently released evaluation of
Campus Safety and Security at The
Evergreen State College concluded that the
"current conditions make it clear that the
leadership of the sccurity function has
been inadequate." The report further stated
that "callous disregard for the campus
community," poor leadership, poor
administration, and student apathy has
"rendered [Security] dysfunctional."
1'he issue of Security's incompetence
has been raised recently by their response ,
to an emergency situation in A-dorm in
which a student was slashed and left
bleeding while officers waited outside.
This inability to interfere was in
accordance with their current Standard
Operating Procedure (SOP). The question
of whether campus security can provide a
safe environment for students is
compounded by additional 'information
about one of the officers employed by
Security.

Page. 6 Cooper Point Journal February 20,1992
In August 1991, Offtcer Robert
Webb was charged with the assault of a
woman friend. The alleged incident
occurred in the security offtce while Webb
was on duty in December of 1990. Officer
Webb later said in a recorded statement to
Deputy Alvin Griffin of Thurston County
Sheriffs Offtce, "I grabbed her by her
arms and pushed her down on the
couch ... "
At the time of the incident, Webb
was a temporary Security employee. Webb
has since been hired as a full time
Security offtcer. Wendy Freeman, chair of
the hiring committee, ' has stated that the
committee "made the best decision at the
time, bearing in mind that they were not
made aw;ue of the charges pending against
Robert Webb."
Why was Webb hired?
Who was responsible for hiring him?
Why was the chair of the hiring
committee not informed of the charges
against Webb?
Who should have informed her?
Why did it take so long for Officer
Webb to be charged?
Why did the Administration allow
Security to degenerate to such a degree?
What action is the Administration
taking to remedy the situation?
Do Security offtcers really need guns
before they are able to intervene in an
emergency situation?
Do we really want Gary Russell to
head an armed security force?
Both the ' evaluation ,of Campus
Security and police reportS on Officei'
Webb are a matter of public record, and
can be obtained at the Evergreen Public
Information Offtce and ThurStOn County
Sheriffs Office.

time the term "sexual harassment" wasn't
yet coined and there was no person or

grievances.

not the case at Evergreen. There are
avenues to lodge complaints and even a

bring her/himself to confront his/her

She encouraged Urban Onion staff

Urban Onion fully realize that unions are
not the answer to every labor conflict. We
also realize that unions have been open to
some controversy. However, those 80% of
us who have voted to designate HERE

believe that a union contract is the answer
to our conflict. If the Urban Onion
becomes a union shop, we will not be
working for the union, but with it.
The pro-union employees are willing
to negotiate with management, provided
that management includes our union
representative in any negotiation process.

a majority vote, and presented evidence of
this vote to Steve and Elyse Harrington,
the owners. Their refusal to negotiate and
continued actions which we feel are unfair
labor practices under the NLRA have led
us to our present stage of boycott.
All involved parties hope for an
expedient end to this conflict. Please help
us achieve this goal by continuing to
boycott the Urban Onion. We hope this
will encourage management to negotiate
with us through our union.

Drag expressive
not offensive
I am really frustrated with how
LGBPRC (Lesbian/Gay/Bisexual Peoples
Resource Center) flyers are treated on this
campus. Many of the flyers have come
down the same day they were posted.
Could homophobia exist here? A big
beautiful poster I painted for the CAB to
advertise our Queer Valentines dance was
tom down the day after I put it up!
There's also been a lot of
controversy over a certain flyer I made for
the dance. It said "Queer D-LJSH-US
DISCO DANCE for Valentines Day"
complimented by a picture of a man in
drag, wearing thigh high black boots, a
fancy outfit, and a big 70's space gun.
Someone wrote on several flyers that they
were offended and felt this was "an idiotic
sexist image of a woman." They also
stated that though this may be "gay
politics" it is not feminist.
Excuse me? I wish this person had
called the Center (866-6000 x6544) and
told me exactly what feminism is and just
what "rules" this image (and drag) are
breaking! The Queer Liberation movement
must ftght sexism by definition (though
there deftnitely are sexist Queers).
Drag is one of the loudest in-yourface ways of ftghting for "genderfreedom." It is very radical, breaking our
narrowly deftned roles and challenging ·
conventional ideas of masculinity and
femininity. Queers have used drag
throughout history as expression and a
political statement.
There are other ways to challenge
gender stereotypes, i.e: women refusing to
wear makeup. However, labeling lipstick
and drag as sexist is unfair, and such
narrow defmitions of women, men, and
"liberation" leave most of us behind. Why
is hiding your body more feminist than
showing it off! Feminism is about less
rules for women not more.
I used this picture because I thought
it looked fancy and would encourage
people to dress up for our dance. She/he
looks strong and is carrying a gun. I
would not have used it if she had been a
Due to a lack of state funding
approximately one out of every two
students at Evergreen who is eligible for a
State Need Grant does not receive one. In
light of this shocking fact and the most
recent proposed tuition increases there is a
critical need to help those students who
are unable to continue or pursue their
education without financial assistance.
While it may be correct to point
ftngers and say that the Federal and State
legislatures need to appropriate more
money for financial aid, the fact is that we
students also must help provide financial
aid to our fellow students.
I propose that we vote to "tax"
ourselves in order to provide scholarship
money. The plan I propose would "tax"
each student one or two dollars per
quarter. If such a plan were adopted, we
could raise at least $3,000 each quarter <r
about $10,000 a year. I do not think that
having students pay an extra dollar or two
as part of tuition and fees is at all
burdensome. Think of it as 10 cents a
week, the cost of a latte, two cans of pop,
two packs of M&Ms, etc . . '
A plan like the one I propose is
already in operation at South Puget Sound
Community College. There, three years
ago, the students voted to charge
themselves a one dollar scholarship fee per
registration. The proceeds of this fee are
used for need based ftnancial aid program
to help students defray child care costs.
The scholarship plan engenders the
spirit of cooperation and social
responsibility Evergreen stands for. "From
each according to his abilities, to each
according to his needs," is not just a
quaint bumper sticker for your VW bus, or
a profound aphorism to quote in seminar.
It is a principle for guiding actions to help
others. I am asking you, the student body,
to consider putting this proposal to a vote
in a campus wide referendum. I welcome
any comments, suggestions, or assistance
you have to offer in initiating this idea.
Please contact me at 866-7423.

CPJ: warped
warmongers
I remember about 10 years ago when
the Army was trying to place ads in the
CPJ (Pooper Point Urinal). We sat around
for hours debating whether or not to
accept advertising from the killing
machine, whether not accepting the ads
wasn't censorship in itself and how badly
we needed the money (they sent a check
up front). As I recall we ended up
accepting the ads with strong resentinent
from much of the staff.
So I open up my Jan. 30 Seepage
and under NEWS BRIEFS there's a free
ad for the goddamned Army disguised as
a fuckin' news article; "Let Army payoff
your loans." This was a pre-scripted ad
from D.C. and you think this is news?
What the hell were y'all thinking? Is the
moral value system of the "early 20
something" crowd so warped that killing is
now an acceptable way of getting out of
debt?
The ad offers the student $1,500 a
year towards your loan debt in addition to
"training in a choice.of skills" if you join
the army ...such a deal.
I wonder if the eN people who let
this free ad make it to print are smart
enough to go for it...

For a gripping look at loday's

Lawrence Kasdan's Grand Canyon the
dark, evil twin of Steve Martin's L.A.
Story. If you appreciated movies like
Boyz in the Hood or Spike Lee's Jungle
Fever this movie - will also deliver the
goods, with a bit more of a white middle
class twist. That sounds kind of bad, but
it isn't. Kasdan is one of the few
filmmakers who offers the public genuine
sign 0' the times movies in these days of
Hollywood
churlishness,
relating
important topics to both the poor and the
wealthy.
Set in L.A., this movie focuses on
six intertwined lives and the world that
they are trying to make sense of and in.
Grand Canyon touchingly depicts the
insanity that humanity has to deal with.
Kevin Kline stars as Mack, a Los
Angeles immigration lawyer increasingly
obsessed with the fragility of life, and
Simon, played by Danny Glover, is the
tow truck driver who rescues him from
disaster.
One night, after a Lakers game,
Mack drives home in his nice yuppie car,
makes a wrong tum, and ends up in a

along, grooving out to 70's tunes he
probably listened to in college, a sinister

a carload full of angry black youth

he's not just speaking for himself, he's
speaking for all of hum~ity.
It's not often that a filmmaker
decides to focus on the human condition.
It's not an easy subject, and it doesn't
off a lot of people with this kind .of
movie, and it's not guaranteed to bring in
the bucks, but · Grand Canyon was a
movie that "needed to be made.
Unusual camera angles add to
scenes like a woman scrubbing at a stain
from gang violence bloodshed on her
inner city sidewalk, or Mack's wife who,
while
jogging . in
her
wealthy
neighborhood, discovers an abandoned
baby in the bushes. As a hijacker guns
down a busload of innocent passengers,
or as Steve Martin gets his leg blown to
bits for offering his Ferrari keys to a
mugger instead of his Rolex, chaos reigns
king, and Kasdan wears the crown.
This is not a movie for the faint at
heart, including graphic surgery scenes
are portrayed as well as traumatic driveby shootings. Grand Canyon relies quite
a bit on shock value, but for the issues
it's dealing with, that seems the most
sensible way to get the message across.
Kasdan, however, doesn't focus only on
the depressing side of our troubled times;
he portrays the hope that we all hold on
to, the hope for a better life that we as
humans believe in, even in the worst of
times. People do find love in Grand
Canyon, the light at the end of the tunnel
can be glimpsed, and ultimately, it's
never too late to make that change, or
take that trip.
Leilani Johnson feels that groove is
in the heart.

To know Go Van Gogh read this sucker, yo!
by Claire Littlewood
- Go Van Gogh is a new post-punk
rock band to the Seattle scene, originally
from Raleigh, North Carolina, Chris
Kelly, lead vocals, says he came to
Seattle for, "the fish, the climate and to
. see the Olympics and Cascades." He also
believes thete's a good market out here
for their kind of music.
I interviewed Chris Kelly, aka "the
Colonel," and Ward Duft, keyboards, on
a balmy, sunny day in February, with the
Olympics in the background. (positively
poetic ... and these fellows are funny.)
Littlewood: How did you fellows meet
and form a band?
Chris: Ummm well, we're southern boys,
we started out on the East Coast We
played up and down the East Coast. We
decided to come out west and give these
other bands a hard time.
L: Why Seattle?
Ward: I moved out here to shop at Bon
Marche and to ride the ferry!
C: J think people are hungry for Seattle
bands.
L: How would you describe your music?
W·:
Somewhere
between
the
Replacements and Sonic Youth.
C: Atonal country rock.
L: Who would you say your biggest
influences are?
W: Sonic Youth, New York Dolls ...
C: And Winston Lights ... We listen to
everything though ... Our biggest influence
is Nirvana's success.
W: We don't want to ham their butter.
L: Who does most of the composing for
the group?
C: Me and my brother.
W: . So far. (Lounging on his balcony
overlooking the Puget Sound and the
ferries chugging back and forth.)
C: Yea, there's a small coup in the
works.
SoyJent Everg.reen by Rachel YOUhg .
. magazine as the hottest band to come
West
L: Plans for recording? Album? Tape?
C: We have a tape out. And we're going
to be in the studio this month.
L: What's behind the name?
W: Nothing. But you can expect our first
album to be called. Lend Us An Ear.
L: What's it lik~ for you up on stage?
Are you aware of the audience? Or are .
you absolutely absorbed in your music?
C: We're just having fun.
W: Yea, it's a fun band.
C: We're Fun Boy Five.
L: What are you doing to try and land
gigs?
C: We gotta establish ourselves here first.
W: We're new and fresh ...we're just
putting our feelers out.
C: We've got a show at the Off Ramp
on the seventeenth with two other bands.
L: What about image... are you promoting
a certain type of image, because you're
fairly clean-cut compared to the
stereotypical "punk rock" look?
W: We're trying to be an alternative to
synchronized hair.
L: How far are you all hoping to go with
Go Van Gogh?
C: To the top of the charts. I want a
number one hit.
Go Van Gogh played last Monday
at the Off-Ramp in Seattle, and they are
currently recording an album, . or
something, at The Music Source,
produced by a mari named Demitrius.
Band members are:
Ghristophcr Kelly, lead vocals
Sean Kelly, guitar
Ward Duft, keyboard
Pepe Lopez, bass
Colin Graham, drums

L: What's the inspiration for the lyrics?
C: Anne Rice and James Joyce inspire
my lyrics.
L: When did you all first start playing
your respective instruments?
C: (looking over at Ward) I think it was
tast week for you. .
