Have you heard of a lucid dream?
It's when in the midst of a dream, you come to the sudden
realization
That YOU ARE DREAMINGAnd have the ability to do whatever you want.
Imagine how great this can be
To magically move as you please, within your own fantasy land.
Now focus on this page
Are you in a dream or are you awake?
ARE YOU eERTAIN?
Look around at the world you're -in
Darel Dare to imagine the things you could do at this very moment .
that you are not doing
Why not?
Some of these things seem like they just can't be doneThat's not the way things work. It takes too much courage.
The extreme truth, if you dare to face it, is that you are
asleep.
And every single force preventing you from doing what you want
is a myth, a dream,
That tugs you along - barely conscious - barely alive
Barely alive.

Oil contaminates
Eld Inlet waters
EVERGREEN--On Wednesday evening,
February 5, diesel fuel oil was spilled onto
the ground at the Central Utility Plant.
Several steps are being taken to minimize
the effects that the community should be
aware of.
After the spill occurred, the worker
involved cleaned up the area with
absorbent material and a . shop vac,
believing he succeeded in retrieving all the
oil that had been spilled. On Thursday
morning, however, a check of the storm
drains surrounding the spill area indicated
diesel oil contamination. The creek into
which the storm drains empty and the area
where the creek enters Eld Inlet were also
checked and again, fuel oil contamination
was found . Booms to absorb the oil were
placed across the creek wherever oil was
found and the Department of Ecology
(DOE) Spill Response Unit was contacted
for additional assistance. The DOE

representative recommended . that the
absorbent booms be replaced periodically
over the next few days. He also explained
that the oil that had already entered the
inlet is too diluted to clean with the pads
and will slowly evaporate.
Ken Jacob and his staff have worked
to respond to the accident and to the
concerns that everything possible be done
to remedy any damages. Questions can be
directed to either Ken or to Jill Lowe,
Evergreen's Health and Safety officer.

work, " . Davies continued. "The emphasis
on multiculturalism, the breakdown of the
traditional disciplines. or the wall
between the traditional disciplines, so that
there is a freer flow among them, the
sense that learning is not something
separate and distance from being. and
that knowing is not something that is
separate and distinct from feeling, are all
things that you will find reflected in my
writing and my work over the last 20

years."
The next question for Davies was,
"What would you look for in a college
provost?" He answered, "The provost
would fIrst of all be a person who wasn't

To work in a consensual setting for me
means to be part of a community of
discourse, to be part of a community of
listeners, because we are very good in
academics at talking, we are not as good
at listening."
"How would you change people's
minds to emphasize the disability in

Davies said that he hadn't seen the report

story, you tell me your story, but there's
lots of stories."
When the issue of Evergreen's role
in preserving the environment surrounding
it was brought up, Davies commented, "I
think it's appropriate ... for the college to
be concerned about the broader
community within which it lives ... "
Asked if he was willing to defend
Evergreen against outside critics, Davies
replied, "I think the role of the president
among other things is to explain and
interpret the college to the broader
communities ... with which the college has
to be concerned. I think it is equally

community, of which the president is a
part, to investigate other alternatives, to

Yeah, I think so;" he said. "I think I
'would have as much right to do that as
you would."
An audience member alluded to a
remark Davis made in his speech about
"burning down the school," asking what
needed to burn, and why. "I don't know,"
he said, "and it would be extraordinarily
presumptuous of me to pour petrol on
anything at Evergreen and offer anyone a

create that metaphor and then to abandon
it when it is no longer useful, anQ I will
tell you right now that it is not useful ...
I was also aware, when I suggested that,
of the vast amounts of concrete that were
around. and how little use it would be to
pour petrol on them and incinerate them."
When asked why he wanted to
leave his current job to become
Evergreen's president, Davies said,
"Evergreen is a distinctive place, a place
that embodies as much as I know, or as

responsibility to become a fully
multicultural community.
Not Just
multicultural among its faculty or its
staff, but multicultural among its student
base. I think... if you remove the number
of students of color that are on the
Tacoma campus [it's about] 1% of the
campus... That's not a multicultural
community. "Thompson went on to say
that he feels the college is also
responsible for recruiting, supporting, and
retaining students of color. He would do
this in the same way DSHS has increased
its employees of color by 34% - through
aggressive recruitment. He added that
Evergreen needs to "... reach out into
communities of color and try to explain
to people why Evergreen is the right
place to go. And to give people so~e
confidence that when they arrive here
they'll be treated with respect as part of
a multicultural community."
When asked about his influences,
Thompson cited his background in
political science and the two years he
spent as the chair of Snohomish County
Planned Parenthood.
On the issue of security, Thompson
said, "I am disturbed that the security
issue seems to have focused only around
the question of handguns. I think there
are issues of lighting, there are issues of
escorts, there are all kinds of other issues
that I think are critically important -there's education issues, that support
security, and I think that those are issues
that should go forward."
"For my-vision- of Evergreen here,- 1 visualize it as a small liberal arts
alternative institution, but what I visualize
is that the day that the great ideas and
experiments catch on with everybody
else, Evergreen moves to new ones."
"The head of any organization is to
some degree a lightening rod," Thompson
said. "How legislators feel about that

that organization. I've been able for now
the 4th session at DSHS to maintain a
level of credibility that's kept us on the
issues, at least.... it's just plain good old
fashioned integrity and credibility in the
legislative process."
At the end of the forum, Thompson
was asked to address the issue of access
and - - recognition
of people with
disabilities. In answer, Thompson cited
his work on the disability initiative at
DSHS, which is to improve access and
employment for disabled people, far
above the requirements of the ADA
(Americans with Disabilities Act).

Women discuss harassment New
by Stephanie Zero

The Women's Caucus discussed
the iss ue of sexual harassment and the
safety of women on campus in a meeting
held yesterday in the Communicati.ons
Building.
"This is not a time to name
names," said Sally Cloninger, one of the
women who called the caucus. "It is a
lime to talk about behaviors, to understand
th e nature of sexual harassment, to
und erstand the sexual harassment policy,
and to talk about the quality of life for
wo men at Evergreen."
"A policy won't change anything
unless there's consciousness," said Laurie
Mee ker.
"I thinlc we're tr_ying to tell a
story to eac h other so we can make all of
thiS more visible and hcarable--so that we
can understand that your story is
conn ected to my s LOry," said one facilitator
or the caucus. "We all must make it
pOSSible for women to learn here, to be
take n seriously, and to be safe."

"As a woman of color I don't
know how to make a distinction between
sexual harassment and racial harassment,"
said one woman, "I think the [academic
dean' s] response to the posters illustrates
that very complex relationship."
The facilitators proposed a set of
guidelines at the beginning of the meeting
in order to maintain a safe place to work
together.
A group of women acted out four
01 the scenarios from the sexual
harassment policy. Then the women broke
lip mto ten small groups, of which one
was only women of color, to talk about
the scenes.
Over two hundred women
ga thered at this caucus almost one year to
th e day of the first caucus held in 1991.
There was also a separate meeting
o f men talking about sexual harassment,
whi ch was facilitated by a man.

Men discuss harassment
by C hris Phelps

Yesterday there was a coming
together of some male students, faculty,
administration, and others to discuss the
problem of sexual harassment here at The
Evergreen State College. At the same time
the men were meeting, there was a coming
together of women in a different room to
diSCUSS the same problem. I attended the
men's meeting, and will briefly outline
what was discussed in the two and a half
hours there.
During introductions at this meeting
the 19 men present all expressed various
reasons for coming to discuss sexual
harassment. All seemed to agree that
sexual harassment is alive and well on this
campus. Some of the men, however, stated
. that they have only now become aware of
the problem through seeing flyers posted
on campus, seeing the display board of
letters concerning these flyers last week in
the CAB, and seeing the recent articles in
the CPJ, as well as hearing about the
recently released sexual harassment policy
proposal for TESC. So the men present
wanted to increase their awareness about
thiS problem.
Some of the participants expressed a
hope that both women and men could
co me together at a later date to discuss
thi S problem, noting
that sexual
harass ment involves both men and women.
However, one point that came up many
limes was that men can not constantly rely
on women LO educate them about sexual
harassment. Men should rely more on

educating themselves and increasing their
awareness about this problem. It was also
noted that none of the men themselves
ha ve ever been sexually harassed.
Participants expressed that the first
slep 10 correcting the problem of sexual
harassment comes from seriously looking
at our individual behavior and how we as
men arc born and raised in a sexist world
and are thus sexist. So, being sensitive or
aware of our own selves can lead to a new
sensitivity towards others whom may find
ccrtam actions or comments sexist.
Repeated sexist behavior would constitute
sex ual harassment.
It was also mentioned that we as
men have to be aware of the power
Imbalance between men and women,
faculty and students, and that this power
Imbalance often makes it difficult for
people experiencing sexual harassment to
vOice their discomforts to people who
Iwve some power position over 'them. So
Il was a common theme that men must
hecome more sensitive LO our own as well
as other peoples feelings, comments and
aClions.
There will be other meetings in the
future to discuss this problem, and it is
hoped that soon women and men can
come together at another meeting with
some new understandings. So keep your
eyes on the lookout for posters announcing
these meeting times.

forward when I got a job--as the manager
of a small recycling program in Port
Angeles. Since that time, I have worked
on a variety of different recycling and
solid waste related projects. My working
life, in the truest sense, is dedicated to
garbage and the problems associated with
a society struggling to change its habits.
My decision to apply to Evergi-een
for work was predicated on the fact that I
could learn from the tremendous resources
that this environment offers. We have,
indeed, a great opportunity to make
recycling at Evergreen the most
innovative, the most creative and the most
successful recycling program around. It
will take commitment big or small from
e-.:eryone, but the results of that
commitment will be stupendous.
I'm looking forward to working with

STUDENT GROUPS WEEKLY

by Greg Wright
As this issue of the CPJ goes to
print, I will have logged in my first full
week as recycling coordinator at
Evergreen. This will be the first of a
regular column that will focus on
recycl ing issues at Evergreen and, as space
will allow, on recycling issues from
around the world. At the risk of suffering
burning criticism for my seemingly
flagrant self promotion, this space, at least
for this premier issue, will be dedicated LO
talking about myself. And of course I have
to admit I enjoy talking about myself as
well as the next person.
The important point is that anyone
on campus who is interested in working
on or talking about "garbage" knows that
there IS someone here who will listen and
tal k to them about their ideas. I believe
lhat one of the fundamental keys to a
successful recycling program or any
successful program for that matter, is
(ommunication. Successful programs
incorporate a sense of ownership in all
those who participate. Communication is
one of the tools that will accomplish that.
When I graduated from high school
in 1967 I faced a dilemma that many of us

was going to do. It wasn't until the winter

SEX! Sex on The Bev! Can you
believe it? Well it was about time Aaron
Spelling put a little bit of reality into the
show; and I stress a little. That's right, for
all of you losers who didn't bother to tune
in or were doing homework or something
silly like that, this week's show was about
tccn sex.
West Beverly has been singled out
as the test bed for a new government
survey on teen sex and as expected,
Andrea is right out front leading the
charge of liberal humanism. When parent
protesters convince 'the school board to
cancel the survey, Andrea and her trusty
Blaze sidekick John (who is this guy
anyway?) take matters into their own
hands by proposing to the board that
condoms be made available at West
Beverly. GASP!!!
Not to break the habit of using at
least two plots, David becomes obsessed
with the idea of being able to get condoms
at school and decides that he's ready to

stand.

sleep with Donna. Making a big show of
it to Steve and Dylan, David goes out and
gets every kind of condom he can find at
the corner Rexall, in preparation for "the
big move."
.
At the Walsh household, a Parent
Association meeting gets out of hand
discussing the issue and Donna steps in
and gives an oh! so eloquent speech in
favor of condoms, against her mother's

Andrea's crusade lands her in the
, national spotlight and Brandon ("he's such
a _nice boy") worries about her getting too
into it. Brandon, in a poorly worded
exc,hange, tells Andrea his concern saying
that she doesn't fully understand the issue
because of her lack of sexual experience.
Andrea spends the rest of the show
depressed about her virginity and
completely ignorant of John's advances
towards her.
The school board votes down the
condom issue which leads Andrea to
suggest the students take action on their
own. In preparation for a big, special "safe
sex" issue of the Blaze, Brenda writes a
"personal journal" about her own sexual
experience with Dylan when she thought
she was pregnant. Dylan finds it before
she turns it in and comes unglued. His
ranting stop Brenda from running the
article and the eternal lovers return to their
happy nest in a cloud of over-sexed lust.
After Brandon tries to apologize for
his actions LO Andrea, she gets more angry
at him and refuses to join The Gang on a
mission to distribute safe sex packets, (no
Digital Underground pun intended) , to
passers by on the streets of Hollywood.

Kelly finds Andrea sulking and they have
the expected heart-to-heart for the episode.
Andrea becomes comfortable with her
virginity again thanks to Kelly and can
rejoin society. As she heads out of the
office, Andrea runs into John (no really,
who is this guy?). After a brief exchange
Andrea learns that John too is a virgin and
they decide to go out on a date.
Back to David and Donna ... Donna
has the house to herself and David takes
the opportunity to "make his move." After
being rejected in a very strong way, the
two settle down to pizza and MTV.
In a fmal short scene, Kelly's mom
rushes in and excitedly implores Kelly not
to ever have unprotected sex. When Kelly
questions her mother as to what brought
this on she replies, ''I'm pregnant" NOTE:
for those of you lame-o's who don't know,
Kelly's mother is dating David's father.
The show ends with Jason Priestley
and Gabrielle Carteris (Andrea) giving a
public service message about abstinence
and safe sex. "Don't do it, but if you do,
wrap that rascal" was the basic jist of it.
That does it for one of the most
interesL!ng episodes of the season. The
writers j,'st barely managed to keep the
show progressive while still plugging
abstinence. I'm a little sad that there were
no pop song r;overs or sappy romantic
moments but t.hose are the breaks.
Everyone does a serious show
occasionally, even 'ille Bev. As I ride off
into the sunset dear Bev Heads, remember
to keep it safe on this Valentine's Day and
always keep your hair well-moussed!
Yippie-tay-yay-ay!

This is concerning the letter in the

Jennifer Schafer having to do with sexual
harassment. .Although I agree with what
they wrote, there was one sentence that
irked me. "Your comparison of our fliers
to cross burning was insulting to women,
Jewish people, and all people of color,"
(bold added). I don't recall ever being

The Olympian Movement for Justice

the Urban Onion workers to organize into

social justice as important because they
are asserting their basic democratic and
economic rights to have a union. This
struggle helps all other workers: a victory
for one is a victory for all.
The management maintains that it
does not want to force unionization on its
workers, when in fact eighty percent of the
workers possess union authorization cards.
The workers are actively seeking more

arm security
To the Evergreen community,
I am writing in response to the ever
present conflict of arming our security
force. This is a hard letter for me to write,
as I have known most of these folks since
allending classes here, and consider many
of them my friends. The local newspaper,
which I can only identify as a publication
filled with sensationalized headlines, has
recently reported that many Evergreen
community members are concerned with
safety on our campus. Granted, the world
is a hostile environment to live in, and we
have had several incidents here that prove
this point. Yet I do not believe that our

community is going to become any safee
if our security peqple are allowed to walk
around campus with si<1earms.
We are hearing a lot of criticism
from various security personnel about the
administration and trustees not supporting
the arming of our campus. I want to
mention that · in the past, Evergn:en
community members have given much
input to this issue. It is not . only the
administration who,do not want an armed
security force, many of us are concerned
about the implications of having a visibly
armed police force.
There are many other optioJ}S to
maintaining a Safe environment here. I
remember as a student that security
personnel were very present members of
our . community. Whether they were
involved with a student group or a DTF,
they were members of our community. I
believe that educating our community on
safety issues is a vital role for our security
officers. Complaining about not having a
weapon to protect me or themselves
merely displays their inability to look at
other options to maintaining a secure
campus.
In all fairness to our security
personnel, they are trained officers who .
have been taught very specific ways of
policing a community. Asking them to act
any differently could be seen as offensive.
As a counselor, I would have a concern
about being told . to act in an
unprofessional manner, and would most
certainly challenge that, but I would also
take the time to consider all of my options
while attempting to work with or within
the systeni. Our security officers now
have the opportunity to reeducate
themselves in the ways of maintaining a
secure campus in a gun free environment,
or they should think about leaving so we
can get someone who would be willing to
look at the other options we have on this
campus.
If the standard operating procedures
do not work: for our community, we can
and should challenge the wording. By not
entering into a potential hostile situation
because of an operating procedure is like
having a security force on strike. I know
these people, and believe that they would
have gone to help had they not been trying
to send a message to the administration
about their frustration with · these
procedures. As I mentioned before this is
a hard letter for ine to write, and 1 may
have lost some friends in security, but I
am a community member and these are
my concerns.
I am sure that we will have future
incidents that some members of our
comm!lnity will use to sensationalize the
issue of guns on campus, and some
legislature will again jump on the
. bandwagon, but we must listen to the
concerns of . all of our community
members, not just the ones willing to talk
to Bob Partlow and the sensationalized
newspaper that he works for. These words
are written with respect
To all of my relations,

Flyer not worth
all the furor
I was amused when the sexual
harassment flyer went up around campus,
attributing it to another hannless volley of
paranoid political-correctness. However,
my amuseinent turned to disgust wilen I
saw the debate this raised on campus. In
my opinion, the biggest mistake of the
administration and students was to even
treat this flyer as an issue.
The means to complain about and
report sexual harassment are already there,
but apparently the flyer-makers did not
feel this was enough. Instead they felt the
need to bypass the "innocent until proven
guilty" concept ·and move straight to the
McCarthyist witch-hunt they have begun.
Just as in the days of the Red Scare, the
instigators apparently do not care how
many careers, reputations, and lives they
ruin to root out and punish the guilty. 1
once thought blind hate was a tool used
only by the KIu Klux Klan, Jesse Helms,
and South Africa, but I see I was wrong.
Apparently, if a faculty member is
suspected of sexual harassment, they no
longer have any rights.
On an equally sour note, the
administration has chosen to lend validity
to this spectacle by creating a DTF on it
I wholly support increased vigilance
towards harassment, but not under the
cloud . of a pogrom. Why has the
administration chosen this one flyer as a
source of concern? I've seen "Big Brother
is Watching You" flyers on campus. Why
hasn't a D1F been formed to study the
Big Brother problem? Both flyers have an
equal amount of proof and
inLelligence ... none.

To the women posting the sexual
harassment flyers:
Your unity in the struggle against
sexual harassment of women is admirable
in that you have taken so much action on
your vision. My question to you is "but
what do you see?" As a passerby I am
curious to know what sexual harassment
of whom and when are you referring, and
who are you?
If the issue, that you are confronting
is so real why the~ don't you take it to the
police or the superiors of the suspect, and
harass them with a court case instead of
every male that notices your unclaimed
posters? Your point would be much more

When We Were Yo un er
This week we begin a new column,
celebrating 20 years of the Cooper Point
Journal and its predecessor, The Paper, in
service to The Evergreen State College.
You may have seen a column like this in
your daily paper, tucked away beside the
comic strips and Dear Abby, informing
1992 readers of the goings on about town
in 1892, or 1942, or 1967.
Our aim is the same: to bring a
sense of history to a campus community
which perhaps has not been taught to pay
enough attention to it. We hay.e found, in
exhuming the musty archives of this
newspaper, that our predecessors from
twenty years ago had many of the same
concerns, fears, and hopes that we
experience today.
We are confident that we as students
Nc=--=~ >

can learn a lot from reliving long-gone
experiences such as these. We will learn,
for example, thaI the snail's pace of
bureaucracy is one of the few constants in
the universe: Evergreen students have
been trying 10 put together a successful
student government since Ihe school
began. We will learn Ihe story behind
some of the relics and works of art which
belong uniquely to Evergreen, and .which
we ,ake for granted today.
But the main reason that the two of
us are beginning this undertaking is that
we think it's a lot offun, and we hope you
will too. So journey with us now to those
thrilling days of yesteryear, and please
keep your hands inside the car at all

More than $600,000 will be cut from

Evergreen's Financial Aid programs if
Reagan gets his wish. With his budget,
Reagan proposed cutting ·almost every
type of financial aid available.
Georgette Chun, director of Financial
Aid, warned that if these cuts were to go
through, Evergreen would be especially
hard hit, because "we do not have many
endowments which the larger, older
schools have." The budget cut come 20
billion dollars from domestic programs

large doorS which open into the art gallery
on the fourth floor of the Library.
"My work is a contemporary

by Jason Orloff
Last week a burning rumor hit the
CPJ office--"the new McDonald's has
lava lamps." In recent years, like
immature larvae which cling to the
bOllom of rivers and try to blend into
their surroundings by · spinning rotting
debris into camouflage and protection for
its pulpy body, Mickey D's has tried to
turn itself into an environmentally
conscious, socially responsible corpomte
emily. But lava lamps? This could be for
real.
The new McDonald's is on the
comer of Eighth and Plum as you go to
pay your speeding ticket. We entered and
scoured the place for lava lamps. We
scored a big zero on lava, but we did
find a lightning ball stretched into a giant
pillar and stuck in the middle of the
main "dining" area, plus sever:al fiberOplic "M'''s which faded in and out with
d ifferent colors.
The newest campaign proclaims the
new pricing policy which "shocks its
cusLOmers with such a good deal." Let.
mc tell you, I sure was shocked. When
my fish sandwich came up it looked like
someone processed and breaded an ear,
drowned it with warm tartar sauce, and
stuck it in a bun. We won't go into taste.
Luckily, there wasn't much. As for the
fries, make sure you get a Coke/pop/soda
with them so the carbonic acid can eat
away the grease in your mouth. I made
the mistake of drinking water and it felt
likc I was waxing my tongue.
The general atmosphere was a
"Back to the Future" mix of big hair and
uptight public servants. The supervisor
stated that this McDonald's is a one of a
kind and designed specially for the
Olympia area, but declined to comment
when I asked about McDonald's new
environmental image. I therefore took it
upon myself to find information on this
-corpomte entity.

Did you know that AIDS, Gonorrhea and Syphilis
are not the only STDs?

Jersey, who marched on Wall Street with
their symbol of Ronald McToxic, were
the key element in McDonald's
discontinuing
of
styrofoam
that
November, and that earlier boycotts by
environmental organizations didn't have
nearly as much to do with this victory.
Mr. Lyons attributes this to Ronald
McDonald's prominent place -in our
culture, and the power of children and
students. If you ask children about the
most recognized public figures, Ronald is
third after Jesus and George Bush.
So by all means, trip on down and
see the fi~r optics at McDonald's. Bring
your friends, and all the better if you

make sure you eat before you go.

Rockers get some "Strokes" in · b~hind Capitol
by Ryan Boudinot
BONE CELLAR, IMD, C.F.K., AND NO
REASON
CAPITOL
THEATRE,
OLYMPIA (BEHIND rr,
ACruALLY)

F EBR UARY

8, 1992

Someone put up a flyer on the
mural side of the Capitol Theatre
proclaiming: "Happy Birthday, Gary. Feb.
8." In the' middle of the flyer beamed a
picture of Gary Coleman. it looked like
it had been taken at the height of
Coleman's career, before he and his costars in "Diffrent Strokes" fell from
grace.
As I watched · the four bands in
some cramped storage space behind the
Capitol Theatre, I couldn 't help but think
of that classic early Eighties sitcom. Each
band seemed to capture the essences of
Arnold, Willis, Kimberly, Sam, or Mr.
Drummond.
No Rellson stepped up to the
mi crophone first. As they played such
whim sical tunes as "Curb Your Dogma"
and "Satan ' s Still Alive," you couldn't
help but ask yourself, "Who the hell is
that guy playing drums?" The rest of the
band looked relatively young, but the
drummer looked like he had to be at
least thirty-five years old. I later found
out that he was. Is it a coincidence that
the guy playing drums reminded me of
Mr. Drummond? I think not.
No Reason's vocalist, Slim, joked
around between songs just like Arnold
would have, had he ever fronted a punk
band. Somewhere in the middle of the set
he explained that one could determine the
ages of the band members by the sizes of
their guts. All in all, No Reason were
dork y, somewhat retro, and really fun to
watch.
C.F.K. (Cheese Flavored Kitties)
proved to be the evening's low point.
The bassist/singer reminded me a lot of
Sam, Arnold and Willis' cute little stepbrother, and they sounded like Rush
trapped
in
a
helium
factory.
Acknowledging their cheesiness, they

covered the Beatles' "We Can Work It
Out" mid-set, dedicating . it· to the
guitarist's girlfriend, Sarah. Oh, please.
After C.F.K. 's set, I got some fresh
air in the alley after getting my hand reinked with a Mr. T stamp (remember
when Mr. T guest-starred on "Diffrent
Strokes"? Eerie, isn't it?). A friend said
that the next band, Imij , was good, so I
rc-entered to watch them set up their
c4ui pment.
Before they even played, I knew I
was in for a treat. The drummer's set
consisted of a bass, snare, and about six
cymbals, half of them cracked and really
shiuy-looking. The lead guitarist played
through a Marshall half-stack and an
effects processor programmed with some

ethereal flange and reverb effects. And
Imij's
singer
was
a
beautifully
dreadlocked woman. It was good to see
a band that not only had a female
member, but was actually led by such an
estrogen-packed dynamo.
As the set started, she screamed a
hideously beautiful howl. For the next
forty-five minutes or so, Imij molded the
crowd into a half-naked sea · of mashing
joy.
"We want a revolution for women,
too!" the singer shouted. Men and women
alike roared back their approval.
Messages adorning Imij's equipment,
"Fight Homophobia" and "Ban Apartheid"
seemed to really mean something in the
context of their music. They weren't just

..

being fashionably PC.
I didn't think things could get any
better after Imij. Neither did the half of
the crowd that left after they finished,
apparently. [Note:
Sadhappy were
supposed to headline this gig, but
cancelled unexpectedly.] But I stuck
around for Bone Cellar anyway, noting
that they looked like Smashing Pumpkins
-- three guys and a female bassist But
that's where the similarities stopped.
Much like the cast of "Diffrent Strokes,"
in their later years, Bone Cellar looked
like they could hold up convenience
stores with the best of 'em.
Bone Cellar cranked grunge,
screamed about absurdities, and even
inspired an undercover cop in the
audience into playing air guitar. I stOod
off to the side for almost the whole set,
smiling as members of Imij moshed and
joined in on harmonica. One of Imij's
guitarists reached up and worked a Bone
Cellar wah-wah pedal with his hands.
When the bassist's microphone fell off its
stand, Imij's singer repaired it with duct
tape while managing to dance. Ah,
reminiscent of the cooperation espoused
on yours and my favorite situation
comedy.
The high point of the evening came
when Bone Cellar led the crowd in a
chant of "Charles Manson is Jesus
Christ." For a moment it all looked like
Helter Skelter in reverse--Irnij's blackness
cooperating with Bone Cellar's whiteness,
true racial harmony combining in an
entertaining medium. I couldn't help but
jump into the pit.
Some suggested names for Ryan
Boudinot's band are: Radar Dog,
Chowder, Studebaker Death Machine, and
oj course, Geek Nipple.

featured guests on Public Telivision. Sean
Bender would tip back his baseball cap
and grab the imaginary microphone -- and
then suddenly the plankton tow, (or water

sounds a little silly, but it made us feel
like scientists and naturalists, rather than
the bumbling students that we were.
Instead of watching PBS, we lived it It
was fun. In this column I hope to give the
CPJ readership that same opportunity.

By Heidi Morkert and Frank Helmer

Oog food was my life. When I was
daydreaming once, I woke up in a can just
as someone was opening it. Screaming
with a combo-platter of fear and joy upon
seeing the unexpected light, I startled the
middle-class, white privileged, suburban
housewife right into a state of cross
gender quandry and transsexual joie de
vie. "Quick!" I thought, and grabbed hold
of Ihe dangling, trauma induced nipple

clamp chain and yanked my cheap, badly
nourished, hormone injected, ground up,
left over cow chunks butt OUT OF
THEREl Suddenly, I was overwhelmed by
the erotic symbolism of a pert and fully
crect nipple clasped betwixt a pair of
shiny stainless steel and rubber
appendages and myself became yet closer
to the elusive state of Nirvana Nevermind
CD deluxe edition with bonus mystery
tract. With swelling anticipation and a
hcallhy dose of Dreading-Straight-BlondHair-Is-So-Like-Hard-Man mentality, I
awoke from my dream at "The 'Risk" just
as a piping hot double shot of Guatemalan
baby blood with steamed hormonal
induced bovine secretin was set before my
cruelty free eyes.
Heidi and Frank aren't sure whether
this will appear regularly as a column or
in Seepage. Their aim is to write cutting
campus satire. Watch out Greeners!

Thurston County Sheriffs and medics

Procedure could allow Ihem to secure the
scene.
Responding to the tort claim, Purce
commented, "I believe the tort claim is
addressed toward the issue of not taking
proper steps in regard to alcohol... [and]
not on the fact that the officers were
present and could have prevented this in
any way."
