abuse, reports Contlie Lydon, Washington
State University Extension Agent.
Minnesota psychologist Dr. Byron
Egeland has discovered that the mothers
who were not able to break the c¥cle of
abuse talked about their own childhood
abuse as if it had "never really happened
to them." They "split-off' the abusive
experience and talked about it in a vague
and disconneeted fashion. These mothers
didn't see a connection between their own
childhood history of abuse and the abuse
they were inflicting on their children.
Mothers who had stopped abusing
their children were able to reflect on their
own childhood mistreaunent in a coherent,
accurate way. They faced those painful
memories head-on and tried to understand
them in hopes of breaking the pattern of
child abuse within their immediate family.
The non-abusing mothers were also
currently in an intact, stable, and satisfying
relationship. These mothers also reported
that a foster family or a relative provided
additional emotional support. Support
groups can heip mothers who were abused
as children.

A member of the group that had
gathered to hear Belford brought up
concclIIs about people with disabilities
bcing included in efforts toward a more
diverse community. Belford spoke about
her work at the National University for the
Deaf. "When you step into dIe world of
disability, it's really a whole different
world ... I care about til is very much, I've
had a good bit of experience, and certainly
now lhat the People wilh Disabilities Act
has been passed there are all kinds of
things colleges and universities are going
to have to do to make themselves
accessible to these people."
When presscd to say whether she
would put a full-time staff member on the
payroll to work with students with
disabilities, ,Belford refused to commit
herself but did say that it was a high
priority issue.
When asked about her feelings on
multicultural diversity, particularly in
regard to people of color, Belford
mentioned that her first full-time teaching
job was at a black college in Florida,
which instilled her with a deep
commitment to diversity. She admitted
that the topic is an easy thing to talk
about, but a very "slick" issue. "Well of
course I believe in diversity - am I going
to stand up here and tell you all that I do
not believe in diversity?"
Belford spoke of some of her
observations about Evergreen, though she
urged students to remember that she

"The essential argument is that
therc is a new style of political theory
that emerged, post World War II, vastly
different from the political theory that
pro:ecded it," said Crowe, who plans to
deliver a two-hour lecture on Arendt's
philosophy each Thursday of Spring
Quarter.
According to Crowe, the class will
rcad four of Arendt's books--The Human
Condition, Between Past and Future, On

environment remains hostile. So maybe
what we need to think about doing is how
to get more Evergreen into Olympia and
more Olympia into Evergreen. Maybe the
best defense is not guarding the gates but
opening them wider."
When asked to evaluate her strengths
and weaknesses as a leader, Belford
replied, "Probably my major weakness is
that I do not suffer fools gladly. I really
hate having my time wasted ... I really
don't like to be trifled with. And I am
impatient. It is hard for me to not to do
something, and sometimes I do things
when not doing something would be
beller. I'm at least aware of this.
"I think my strengths are that I don't
tell lies, that I really level with people as
much as I possibly can unless there are
external constraints that make that
impossible in which case I don't lie, I just
say I can't say.
relationship to politics is 'vote the bums
out, '" according to Simon. The class will
explore Arendt's ideas of politics,
morality, and the moral responsibilities of

Classes will meet on Mondays from

students from other classes are invited to
sil in on this lecture series. Friday's
meeting will be a workshop on "editorials
and political writing."
Born in Hannover, Germany, in
1906, Arendt earned a Ph.D in
philosophy from Heidelberg University
before fleeing from the Nazis in 1933;
after seven years in Paris, she moved to
lhe United Stales. She subsequently
served as a professor at Princeton
University, the University of Chicago, the
New School for Social Research,
Brooklyn College, and other institutions.
She died in New York City in 1975.

"Anybody that studies literature
knows that a person's strength is the flip
side of their weakness. The very things
that make Hamlet a hero are the things
that make Hamlet die. I think my greatest
strength is that I care enormously what
happens. It's also my greatest weakness
because I probably care too much."
On the issue of enrollment, Dr.
Belford stated quite strongly that she felt
Evergreen should not get any bigger, in
order to preserve the "intense personal
experience and engagement that's what's
made Evergreen Evergreen."
Dr. Belford's resume is being held
on open loan at the Library. Students are
encouraged to provide feedback to the

evaluation forms are available at all

which included enrollment reports, flSC8i
reports, catalogS, issues of the Mud Bay
Quarterly and the Cooper Point Journal
(everything but the Evergreen Free Press,
which Belford said she discovered herself
when she reached campus).
"My impressions are that there are
not a lot of times on this campus when
everybody gets together and . talks about
things. My impressions are [that] this isa
community of small communities, and that
the communities don't cross lines too
often .. '! think we need to build 'in
community conversations."
When askeo about the proposed
tuition increase, Belford said she felt that
what makes Evergreen attractive is its
availability to peopl.e from a range of
financial backgrounds, and that she felt it
was very important to maintain this
availability. "The first thing you have to
figure out is what you can never cut, when
tuitions go up and costs go up ... " said
Belford, "and it's scholarships."
Asked how she would deal with the
Olympia legislature, Belford extolled the
benefits of having the correct data to
prcsent. "What begins to have an impact
on people is what your graduates do.
What kind of people come to your
school... What kinds of things have they
gone on to do... You need to build that
kind of data base, you need to be able to
come back to people with the kind of
information dmt they can't quibble about."
She also stressed that information needed
to be very focused in order to be
convincing to the legislature.
"It's not easy, it's never going to be
easy, people will never be comfortable
witll Evergreen, and mind you, if they do
get comfortable with Evergreen,
something's wrong."
When a student asked Belford if she
would "defend Evergreen from Olympia,"
Belford responded that she felt the
question needed to be thought about
differently.
"I have a feeling that
Evergreen... thinks of itself as a little
island in the midst of a sea of sharks ... If
that's really how you feel about your

The Health Center stresses the AIDS
tests are "confidential," not "anonymous."
In a confidential test, the patient uses
his/her own name, hut results are held in
striclest confidence between the patient
and the health care provider. In an
anonymous test, the patient can use a
pseudonym. For billing purposes, the
I-lcaltll Center must have patients' names,
and federal law mandates that the Health
Center report all positive results to the
Thurston County Health Department.
Students can still receive free,
anonymous AIDS tests at the Thurston
County Health Department, located at 529
West 4th Street. They can be contacted at
786-5585. Lydia Beth Leimbach is a

HaraSSDlent DTF policy unveiled
by Stephanie Zero
"If you're thinking something's not
right Lhat's ali'the reason you need," said
Shannon Ellis, Chair 'of the Sexual
Harassment Disappearing Task Force
(Sexual Harassment DTF) and Dean of
Student and Academic Support Services.
"A lot of times people don't
compla in about sexual harassment because
they 're not sure they are being harassed,"
says Ellis. "Sexual harassment is illegal .
It is a form of discriminaLion on the basis
o f sex."
According to the new sexual
harassment policy proposal adapted from
lh L: Equal Employment Opportunity
Commission (EEOC) "A member of the
Evergreen State College community will
be judged to have commilled a n act of
sex ual harassment in either of the
fo llowing cin;umstances :
·when that person uses authority or
power (explicitly or implicitly) to coerce
another person into unwan led sexual
relations or to puni sh anolher person for
hi s or her refusa l.

Throughout the world, children are

include torture, beatings, disappearances
and cxecution. Many of the crimes have

People with HIV/AIDS shouldn't be given up for dead
lJy Tud Streater
I was sitting in front of the TV the
other night watching the endless parade of
people and colors and products, and what
should appear but the first positive symbol
of someone living with HIV (no pun
intended). Right in front of my eyes, a
person who is HIV+ was in a position of
power. This person hugged and touched
people and nobody seemed the least bit
perturbed that someone with a deadly
disease was there. This person is Magic
Johnson. Now, I don't mean to cream my
jeans with admiration for Magic, after all
he is just like you and me. But this is the
fi rs t time I have seen someone with HIV
in a HEALTHY and happy light on TV
whose sole purpose is not to talk about
AIDS .
For years, all we 've seen is pictures
of men who are so skinny they need help
just to lift their head. For years, all we've
seen is pictures of grieving families
(mos tly mothers). For years, all we' ve
seen are pictures of men in white coats
and masks with syringes bending over frail
men. These pictures all say one thing;
DEATH. It's true that almost always HIV
infection leads to death, but it takes years.
We never see images of the one and a half
million people who have HIV in their
MOlm THAN BURNT RICE-A-RONI
bodies living their lives just like everyone
e lse, You can't tell if someone is HIV+
just by looking at them , but for years
we've been brainwashed into thinking we
know what People Living With AIDS
(PL WAs) look like. There are still people
that believe you can only get AIDS if you
arc a gay male. Well let me tell you that is
not true. Women can and do get HIV all
the time; every day; in citi es, the country
and the suburbs. STRAIGHT men can and
do get HIV all the tim e; every day; in
cities, the country and the suburbs.
Young adults, and teens are the
fastes t growing group of people with HIV
ini'cction and they don't even know it
because the wrong infonnation has been
pumped into their heads for years. The
information has changed and will continue
to change , so it is up to all of us to keep
informed about HIV issues. I have
watched so many of my friends get sick
and die from HIV . Every lime I go to a
luneral or wake I realize that this death
was preventable. That's right, none of
those who have died of AIDS needed to.
With the right information at the right
time every single one of those people
would be alive now. I know that the
government could have done something
and didn't because of bigotry and greed,
beef into two patties .
so I wonder if the same thing is going to
happen with teens and AIDS.
We can't count on anyone else to
give. us the right information; we have to
go and get that information. Our school
doesn't even believe this is important
enough to give out free condoms. That just
shows me that ignorance and bigotry is
alive and well at Evergreen. In this
in stance bigotry and ignorance wiU kill

Tunnel vision about sexual harassInent offensive
I could not allow Dia Taylor"s
editorial in the Jan. 23 issue of the CPJ to
go unanswered. I found it personally
offensive.
Taylor writes that she has "neither
experienced nor witnessed a hint of sexual
harassment in or out of the classroom" of
professors who "have been shadowed by
rumors of sexual harassment.:' S imp 1 y
because one is oblivious to situations
which occur around them, does not mean
they do not exist. Because Taylor did not
notice sexual harassment in her classes
does not mean that sexual harassment did
not occur. Sexual harassment is not always
blatant. If you do not feel threatened by a
situation with certain sexual overtones, if
yo u are not sensitive to them, you
probably will not be aware of the subtle,
ye t real, presence of sexual harassment in
the classroom.
Taylor accuses women who are
Response
unwilling to participate in classes taught
by profs with rumors of sexual harassment
against them to be unwilling to "reason
coolly about such charges." I would like to
give those who are accused of sexual
harassment the benefit of the doubt, but
not at the expense of my personal safety.
If I heard that a day-care provider was a
pedophile, it would be foolhardy for me to
commit my children to hislher care.
Although it may presume guilt, I do not
feci the burden of proof is on my
shoulders. My chief responsibility is for
the ·safety of my children or, in the case of
sexual harllSsment, my own safety.
Communication is a key component
of eliminating the very real issue of sexual
hantssment. Taylor suggests that "such a
rumor does not warrant repeating." She is
very wrong. To hide sexual harassment is
frightening and dangerous. Discussion of
the issue using specifics enables us to
recognize sexual harassment in its many
forms and to work to combat it. A victim
of sexual harassment often feels
responsible for the treatment she receives,
there is a substantial element of self-doubt.
To ask a ' woman who feels she has been
sexually harassed not to discuss it, to keep
it out of the public domain, is to continue
the myth that the victims are responsible
for the crime.
Taylor insinuates that the professors
who are accused of sexual harassment are
the victims, that the women who instigate
these charges are the victimizers. She
seems to believe that the propagation of
sexual harassment rumors stem from some
feminist plot to destroy the lives of men.
I beg to differ. Sexual harassment rumors
begin when a woman believes she has
been sexually harassed. It is not a feminist
issue. It isa question of personal violation.
Unfortunately, too often sexual
harassment comes down to the word of a
woman, who feels victimized, against a
man, who does riot recognize his actions
as harassment It is difficult for me to
discredit the testimony of a woman who
feels like she has been harassed,
meanwhile it is very easy for me to
understand that a man may not be
cognizant of the alarming effects of his
actions. Again, being oblivious to a
situation does not mean it does not exist.
I believe a woman is more likely to be
aware of actions Which make her
uncomfortabl~, than a man is likely to be
aware of the negative effects of his action.
In the case of sexual harassment, Taylor is
quite right, I probably do assume that "a
woman's testimony is always more
credible than a man's:'
Jeanne McShane
Bigoted terms
not appreciated
After reading Bruce Coreau's article
in the Jan. 30 of the CPJ on the lack of
student funds, I wondered if he could
possibly be talking about Washington State
Legislators. I was completely unaware that
Ulere was now a "Philistine" majority, in
1~lct the last time I ehecked there were no
Palestinians in the legislature and very few
in our state. The use of "philistine" (the
arabic pronunciation of Palestine) as a
synonym for uncultured is. pure
unadulterated bigotry. Philistines have an
ancient history in both the arts and
sciences and their country is the birthplace
of three of the world's greatest religions.
Currently the only place philistines arc in
majority is in the occupied territories of
thl: West Bank and Gaza strip. It is my
hope that if more students would educate
themsclves about the Middle East and
other parts of the world, these syntactic
errors could be avoided. Here at Evergreen
I understand racism to be intolerable and
that cultural diversity is vital. If this is so,
then one of these last remaining bastions
of syntactic racism has got to be deleted
lest we label ourselves as uneducated
ignorant human beings.
Beth Mahmoud-Howell
Don't neglect
diverse voices
I am writing, in response to recent
news that this institution is apparently not
interested with the concerns of various
Evergreen communities who have voiced
their sentiments about the presidential
search process. I am speaking of the
Lesbian, Gay, and Bisexual community;
the women's caucus; and the community
of color. Recently these communities have
been referred to as special interest groups.
We are not special interest groups,
.111<1 any reference to our communities
beillg such is not only offensive but sexist,
racist, and homophobic. Historically we
have been targeted by various hate groups,
but we are not special interest. In fact
wiUlOut the participation of these
communities, this college would not exist.
I am aware that many people are
expressing their concerns for these
communities, but I would like to ' take the
time to focus on the community of color.
Some of you may already know that The
Evergreen State College has not
historically been supportive of the
(;Oncerns of people of color. The First
Peoples' Advising Services originally
began not from an idea of the planning
committee, but from the efforts of students
of color who were frustrated with the lack

of services offered to them. What was
once a coalition of students has turned into
a community that is presently hundreds
strong and very ready to voice our
concerns to any prospective presidential .
candidate.
In an institution w·here
demographically native peoples should
make for a large portion of the population,
there are but a handful of Indian students.
The next president needs to be asked
about her or his .commitment to the nearly
20 nations that Evergreen is charged with .
serving. The next president needs to be
told that two faculty members in the midseventies had to spend their own time and
money to reeruit students of color.
Evergrcen is nationally known as a
culturally diverse campus, yet locally
known as an institution where we won't
even experiment with a cultural caucus to
help decide how to select the next
president. Evergreen afraid to experiment?
It docs seem that this is the case at a
college where the first 20 years were spent
as an experiment.
I know the popular argument is that
everyone will have the opportunity to ask
questions during open interviews, but you
must be aware that this and many other
insLitutions of higher learning are not
always the safest place to air one's
concerns or opinions. In other words, there .
m~ly be questions that I as an indigenous
person may have concerning the longhouse
project. If I choose to criticize the college
for not being fully supportive of a project
that is 12 years old, I want to know that I
will be in a safe environment to do thaI. I
am very interested where the next
president stands on her or possibly his
views of hospitality. There are many
issues surfacing at Evergreen, and the

US!!
candidates need to be aware of these
issues. Everyone on this campus deserves
a safe environment in which to ask these
questions.
Those of us that are here every day,
know there exists a paradigm of cultural
insensitivity in our community. When I
say cultural, I am not only referring to
people of color. There are many cultures
that are ever present at Evergreen, and
unfortunately some of them are not truly
embraced or even accepted by certain
members of this community.
Faculty and administrative personnel
are not the pulse of this campus as some
of them may believe, yet they are the
people with the most alJoued time to
spend with the candidates. There is no
reason that we should support or
participate with this classist, racist, sexist,
and homophobic agenda. If we are truly a
community, then we should begin to act
like one, or at least tell the truth about not
supporting the diverse communities 'that
make up an integral part of The Evergreen
State College.
Evergreen claims to be accessible to
everyone, yet there are faculty notifying
students who speak English as a second
language that they do not belong here. We
invite people of color to participate in oUI
experiment, yet they often end up in a
seminar as the only student of color.
Given Evergreen's written commitment to
multiculturalism, there is a good chance
that issues of culture or race will enter the
topic of discussion. Is it fair to ask a
student of color to analyze the thoughts of
all people of color in the world? Believe
me this has happened at Evergreen, and
often.
These issues are merely a few
reasons why the community of color needs
separate time with the presidential
candidates. Asking us to settle for less is
offensive. If you are concerned about any
of the above mentioned issues, then you
must support our request. These words are
wrilten with respect. Thanks for your time.
To all of my relations,

negotiation efforts. This strategy has three
.
• facets:
, First, the .owners hope to dilute the
vast majority of union support by hiring
new employees, who would tend not to
support the union. A classified ad in the
Jan. 22 Olympian reads "HIRING ALL
SHIFTS." What the ad fails to mention is
that there are no sliifts to be replaced and
that many veteran employees have
received cuts in their hours to accomodate
the new staff. Over 300 job applications
.Iulve been received as a result of the ad.
Secondly, the owners has attempted to
alienate the pro-union employees from the
others and thus "win back" those workers
who are "on the fence" and indecisive
about which side to support, hence
furthering the goal of busting the Union
eflorts.
Thirdly, the owners and management
arc attempting to stall for time by
encouraging the formality of a certification
election, a process that takes at least 60
days. During this period, they would work
to burn out Union support by flushing out
veteran employees. and hiring
inexperienced but non-Un ion-replacements.
There is even a chance that the voter pool
could be expanded to include employees
who work at other restaurants that share
the same ownership.
The current employee effort was
sparked when a kitchen manager was fired
without .due cause, and two other cooks
quit as a form of protesting his
termination. The remaining employees
quickly sought HERE Local #8 to
represent them. They would like to
negotiate a contract that guarantees job
security, recognizes seniority, establishes
a grievance process, provides health care
insurance and standards for wages and
wage increases.
The boycott was decided upon by
employees after the owners broke their
own "good faith" agreement to meet with
the employees and their representative on
Jan. 29, an agreement they put in writing.
Management has been consistently
unresponsive to other attempts to
encourage them to engage them in
negotiations, such as an organized letterwriting campaign. The boycott of the
Urban Onion will remain in full effect
until the ownership agrees to negotiate a
contract.

I was very disappointed with the
lack of thoroughness in reporting on the
situation at the Corner Cafe. There was
very little explanation as to why the
Corner is so restricted in where it may
advertise. I for one, would like to know
why the college would sign into an
agreement which so severely limits an
important student enterprise. The Comer
has a long and proud tradition on this
campus. Could it be that Northwest Food
Services also thinks the Comer offers
better 100<1, and therefore feels threatened
by the Comer? Why should they be
allowed to bully the Comer in this way?
Besides these issues, students and staff

not have been the last, but 'twas Helltrout
prizes, which included a Ken doll, a loaf
of French bread, a video for Rogaine (for
men losing their hair, I guess), and
balloons. Unfortunately, most people had
either left or lost their tickets, so several
thousand numbers had to be called off
before they finally tossed the prize out
for the hordes to devour.
Sorry to say that I had never seen
Helltrout before. But I liked them. They
were also very funny, especially the
guitarist's choice . of wardrobe (Speedo
bikini pants and halter top). I'll be honest
here and say that I did not stay for the
entirety of Helltrout, because they
claimed that they were going to play
every song they had ever wriuen, and by
this point it was nearing 2 am and I had
class the next morning. So I went to
have a chat with Unwound's drummer,
and left. I regret that I don't know how
the Helltrout set ended, but if you were
there, and you feel the need to share it
with the Evergreen community, go ahead ·
and write. I'm sorry that I did not see
Helltrout when they played housing last
quarter with Nubbin, I think I was in
love or something and had to go to
Seattle...
Jane Laughlinjorgot to mention that
Helltrout might not really be breaking up.
Stay tuned, true believers ...

HELLTROUT, MY NAME, UNWOUND,
CREEP
,\.'1U
TilE VORlllX CLUB, OLYMPIA
JANUN{Y
30, 1992
I'm sorry to say that I am not all
that familiar with the music of the late
(7) Hell trout. However, I was locked in
a very small bathroom with one of the
band members last week. You see, he
works for Maintenance and came up to
fix my broken doorknob. It's true. He's
the one with the big, black dreads.
So anyway, this is the "review" of
the Helltrout, etc. show. I'm probably not
the proper person to be doing this, seeing
as how, as I said, I'm not a big
Helltrout-head. But it didn't look like
anyone else was going to do it, so here
goes.
As often happens with the Vortex
(used to be the North Shore Surf Club,
as everyone now knows) , things got
going ridiculously late. The posters said
kickoff at 8 pm; Creep finally came on
at around 10:30. I was not impressed.
First of all, they seemed to be fighting
amongst each other, and I think that is
very uncool for a band to do. Also, their
lyrics were uninspired, cliched love
songs, Too bad.
At about this point, you are
probably wondering to yourself, "Hey,
what's the point of doing reviews of
shows ' that have already happened?" I've
wondered the same thing myself. Well,
there are two reasons. Maybe after
reading this, you'll be able to decide
whether you will want to see one of
these bands yourself. Of course, with
Helltrout, this will not be possible. [The
j ury 's still out on .that one, actually--Ed.]
The other reason is so that members of
these bands can read this and either be
fill ed with pride or wracked with shame.
Or hate me forever. Whatever.
After Creep came the highlight of
Ill y evening. That was Unwound.
Unwound is Jane's new favorite Oly'band. I saw them at the Capitol Theatre
with Crackerbl\Sh a while ago, and this
band rocks my world. Once again, I was
co mpletely impressed. Justin is the singer
and guitarist, and he was amazing. He
has this captivating stage presence ... well,
as with most show reviews, you had to
be there. But, I highly recommend this
band , They'll be at the Ok Hotel on the
29 Lh, the drummer Brian told me that.
During Unwound's set I attempted
to !like some pictures for this story. I got
some really good ones too, only it turns
Unwound, no pictuJC of my friend Nate's
nipple ring, and ! no pictures of Ned
, pogoing with the 1ead singer of Seaweed.
Fuck, I thought. Fonunately, someone
else took pictures, but not of Unwound.
Following Unwound was a band
called My Name. All I can say is that
there's only so much hardcore, fast punk
I can take. Compared to the intensity and
originality of the previous act, My Name
wer~ boring. To me. I have nothing
agamst punk rawk, but you understand
that there are quite a few bands who
sound the same. And it was obvious to
me that night that some people need no
excuse to slamdance.
Finally around 1 am, Helltrout
arrived. Oh, I forgot to mention the door
What the... ?
Jane, dear-heart, how could you ...
homework instead of Helltrout?
I'm
sorry, but with every passing second my
opinion of you lessens,
Hell trout was magnificent. Even
wiLh your eyes closed, this show was
rm:k 'n roll.
Everything will be fine Jane, just
dOIl ' L let it happen again.

at the C:apitol Th~'ter last Saturday
loutl!y dls~layed Olympia's up and
t:O~nlJlg mUSIcal talent, the one exception
belllg the first one up, Laceration.
. The four member band sported
sillfts that read "HellnaLion," "Nausea,"
ell'., and upon seeing those, coupled with
the hair, I knew I was in for a treat.
Two members, the drummer and bassist
sported dreads, while the other tw~
sported that puffy black Metallica look so
reminiscent of the early eighties.

Every member's hair was dyed a

"Dea th Farm," wasn't

inspired by Spinal Tap's "Sex -Farm."

If ever you're going to a coneen
where Laceration is opening, arrive about
two hours later than the advenised time
and hopefully you will have just missed
th~m. I have to give them credit for
bemg ente~ning though; it's not often
that I can yell, "Satan, Satan, Satan!" at
a concert and be appreciated.
. Overall though, I'd say the band
knew about two chords, five notes, and .
two tempos, fast and faster. As a friend
commented, "They sounded like a big
diesel truck driving through a ghost town
at 100 MPH, popping tires with every
shift of the gears."
Christ on a Crutch were better to
listen to, and Treepeople were a lot of
fun, their lyrics being comprehensible and
amusing in a real son of way, unlike
Laceration,
Seaweed came last on the line-up.
A Tacoma-based band, they know how to
get the crowd into that destructive
swirling, pit of sweating bodies tha~
exemplifies a good, raging, concert these
days. Exuding power in their playing,
they have smooth, sharp, fast transitions,
power drumming, and got the crowd
moving. A couple of songs into the set
however, a girl went under in the pit.
The show stopped and someone yelled,
"Call 91l." About ten minutes later the
girl was hauled out of the theater with
either a broken or twisted leg.
This was ironic as at the show a
green flyer was going around about
violence in the pit towards women. We
all pay the same amount to get into a
show and I think it's pathetic that to see
a show ~ithout worrying about being
bodychecked, a person has to either stand
w~th an ear in the amp or find precarious
thmgs to clamber up on. Pits are an
essential part of concerts, I realize, but
why they h~ve to be directly center,
front, truly rIDses my dander. Guys, chill
out, or move back.

if we do not consider the

make these ' ideas a little

We say that a circle and
a

topologically
equivalent because ~h

the other, keeping close
together points that are
"close together." You-can
think of these figures as

in all kinds of ways as

and you do not glue together points that
initially are apart.

Expanding, shrinking, and rotating nations - part one
Maps have always fascinated me. We
can play with the shapes of nations: we
can compare them with familiar shapes,
we can stretch or shrink them and
reshape them in all kinds of ways. The
part of mathematics where we study
these kinds of transformations is called
topology (not topography). Here are
some of the things we can do with
maps.

provide for the safety of students, faculty,
and staff on the state campuses."
This would allow security officers to
intervene in any illegal activity on
Evergreen's campus, without relying on
Thurston County Sheriffs to handle such
situations.
The bill also states (page 2, section '
2, lines 5 through 7) that state institutions
"Shall each establish afully commissioned
police fo'rce for its own institution, which
force shall function under such conditions
and regulations as the board [of Trustees,
at Evergreen or any other state college Or
university] prescribes." Page 2, section 3,
lines 19 through 22, reads, "[Security]
shall be general authority peace officers of
the siate as defined jn chapter 10.92 RCW
(Revised Codes of Washington) and have
such police powers as are vested in
sheriffs and peace officers generally under
the laws of this stale.... "
This section would give security the
right and responsibility to use and carry
guns and/or other w~apons when and if it
is appropriate and necessary. Officers at
Evergreen are currently armed only with
Mace, and not all officers carry Mace at
all times, according to Security Chief Gary
Russell.
Another part of the bill empowers
. security to make arrests off campus when
a crime on campus is involved and/or
committed.
The bill further states [the board]
"Shall direct the president of the college or
university, or president's designee, to be
responsible for ensuring adequate law
enforcement at branch campuses of the
institution: PROVIDED, this section shall
not be construed to require resident police
forces at branch campuses of the state
colleges or universities."
According to Savage, the problem
this is that various college presidents do
not agree with the bill because of this
passage.

issues for the CPJ.
