Protest
by Jeff Crane
This last summer I spent a week on
the Washington coast picking up birds
that were dead as a result of the Tenyo
Maru oil spill and trying to save live,
oil-soaked birds. It was a largely futile
effort, a mere salve to the consciences of
concerned people who disagree with a
national economy and lifestyle that
makes
constant

and
Analysis
development the dominant paradigm with
no concern for the environmental
degradation and resource depletion that
accompanies it.
There is now an opportunity to
prevent something like the Tenyo Maru
oil spill from happening again off our
coast. This opportunity presents itself in
the form of a plan to create a sanctuary
off the Washington coast. Right now, the
National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration (NOAA) is accepting
comments and suggestions from the
public during the final designation
process of the Olympic Coast National
Marine Sanctuary.
There are two major flaws in the
proposed sanctuary plan as it now stands.
One is that it will not afford the
Washington coast permanent protection
from oil and natural gas exploration and
development
The proposed plan allows further
discussion of this issue after the year
2,000. From the beginning of the review
process for this sanctuary, the public has
expressed
itself
clearly
in
its
overwhelming opposition to allowing any
form of oil and natural gas drilling off
of our coast. But with a Bush
administration that insists on development
of all domestic oil resources regardless
of environmental impact, it would seem
that NOAA has catered to some of
D.C.'s vested interests. This cannot be
allowed. There is no justification for oil
drilling off of our coast. Besides the
terrible impact it would have on
protected wilderness areas, estimates
indicate that the amount of energy off of
the Washington coast would fuel our
country for a week at most.
The second major flaw in the final
sanctuary proposal is the continued
allowance of navy bombing runs on Sea
Lion Rock. Sea Lion Rock is a part of
the Copalis National Wildlife Refuge.
Due to the presence of northern sea lions
and nesting and migratory birds, the
continued bombing of Sea Lion Rock is
in violation of the Marine Mammal
Protection Act, the Endangered Species
Act, and the Migratory Bird Treaty Act.
I urge you to take the time to express
your views on the sanctuary plan and
encourage NOAA to write a permanent
ban on oil and natural gas drilling and
see sanctuary, page 3

Acquaintance rape education discussed in open forum
by Tim Johnson
On Tuesday November 14 a campus
acquaintance rape education meeting was
held in the A-dorm Edge. The primary
goal of the group's meeting was to
explore the problem of acquaintance rape
from a preventative stance, and to
sensitize people to specific stereotypical
gender and racial differences hampering
understanding in order to avoid
occurrences of rape. This means that
people need to understand exactly what
acquaintance rape is.
"Education is the key to prevention,"
says Todd Denny, who facilitated the
meeting along with Charlotte Wheeler of
the Safeplace Shelter.
"Rape is not something that people
like to talk about, especially college
administrations; it looks bad: nobody
wants to think rape is something that
happens at their school," said Denny.
Denny believes Evergreen is in the
dark ages when it comes to student
education of rape issues: new, or even
continuing students, may not know what
constitutes sexual harassment and/or
acquaintance rape. Ultimately, he wants
mandatory acquaintance rape education
to be instituted.
The meeting, which was attended by
about twenty people, then focused on the
possibilities of having interested faculty
attend Core programs to teach this
special curriculum. Denny believes these
learning and awareness techniques would
be highly conducive to eliminating the
problem on campus. But this is an idea
that requires time, energy and incentive,
which means an expressed interest from
CRC entrance revamped
by Ruth Frobe
In order to effectively collect
entrance fees, a new door is being
installed in the Campus Recreation
Center (CRC) at the entrance/attendant
station. The door, which will be
controlled and operated by the desk
attendants, is intended to stop what CRC
building manager Aldo Melchiori says is
a "significant problem with people who
want to use the facility, but do not feel
an obligation to pay for the services
provided." Evergreen students pay for the
CRC facilities and services via a portion
of S&A fees, and SPSCC and St.
Martin's College have a contract with
TESC for student use as well. Other
CRC users are required to pay for
building use via annual or quarterly

permits or via the single use cash fee.
There has been a problem in the
past, however, with people entering the
CRC without valid identification and/or
without paying, either through alternate
entrances (which are now locked and
alarmed), or through the regular entrance
during more crowded times. Because the
door is unfinished at this point, it is
somewhat inconvenient to CRC users,
but Melchiori says, "Two door attendants
have been scheduled, during peak hours,
to speed up the entry process. As we all
get acquainted with the system, it will
become less burdensome."

the campus community; concerned people
would need to organize themselves in
order to gain the attention of the
administration so that budget and
logistical problems could be solved.
Charlotte Wheeler explained that
victims of date rape are most often
female college students who are assaulted
by men. The victim will usually have
been with the attacker for at least ten
minutes prior to the assault, and most
assaults occur where the attacker is
comfortable, such as his home. Many
incidents involve the use of drugs and/or
alcohol.
In most instances an element of trust
had been established between the attacker
and victim, which makes it difficult to
see acquaintance, page 3

Picketers demand reforms from
by Christopher Fondots
Last Saturday from 1 pm to 3 pm
the Olympia Rainforest Action Group
picketed outside of Hanson Mitsubishi at
the
Capital
Auto
Mall.
This
demonstration was part of a coordinated
international day of protest against the
Mitsubishi Corporation. The Rainforest
Action Network called for the boycott to
draw attention to Mitsubishi's excessive
environmental destruction in the world's
tropical rainforests, particularly those of
the state of Sarawack in Borneo,
Malaysia.
At this car dealership on Saturday,
picketers presented four demands that the
Rainforest Action Group needs met in
order for the boycott to cease. They also
are preparing to send these demands to
the President of the corporation, with an
accompanying petition. These are the
demands:
1) Mitsubishi shall end its reckless
and irresponsible clear-cutting practices
throughout the world.
2) Mitsubishi shall begin to replant
and fully restore all land it has
deforested to date, and clear no further
land if it is unable to do so.
3) Mitsubishi must recognize and
respect the land-rights of native forest
dwellers and cease logging activities in
the homelands of these people, especially
in Sarawack.

CISPES commemorates killings in El Salvador
Analysis
by Paul Slusher
Here in Olympia, on November 16,
1991, the happy shoppers of the Capital
Mall were abruptly interrupted from their
otherwise peaceful shopping day to be
reminded of something.
That is that Saturday was the second
anniversary of the killing of the six
Jesuit priests in El Salvador. As could
be predicted, some Greeners showed up
to vocalize the fact that killings such as

Approximately ten CISPES activists
converged on the consumer pit, armed
with leaflets, a megaphone and a strong
message. Their arrival coincided with the
finishing of a teenage beauty pageant,
which had taken place in the center of
the mall.
Needless to say the folks at the mall
found the intrusion quite distracting. The
activists finally left the mall, having

Prior to this "mall education effort"
the gang went to the Federal Building
and placed some 30 crosses in the grassy
patch in front of the dingy grey
structure.
Then they erected a large banner:
"Remember El Salvador..." onto the front
of the building. For a nice finishing
touch, they proceeded to take an old rag,
write FMLN on it, and run it up the flag
pole. The small group applauded as it
began to wave in the wind. Drivers,
occasionally passing by on this rainy
day, stared curiously. Even a few honks
of support were heard.
The protesters, in case you are not
familiar with the war in El Salvador, are
organizing against continued U.S. money
for the Salvadoran military. The military,
with U.S. guidance and support, is
currently waging economic and military
warfare on its people and the people's
military front, the FMLN. Over 75,000
people have died since 1980, and the
killing goes on even today.

acquaintance, from cover
of the victim's sexuality, or possibly by
exploring the victim's comfort zones by
talking about sex, or merely with
lascivious gestures. If the woman feels
uncomfortable yet fails to communicate
clearly to the man that she does not
condone this behavior, he may advance
with provocative physical contact and
then ultimately to rape.
Wheeler and Denny both stressed that
any type of coercion used to have sex
with another person against their will is
rape, be it talking someone into it or
withholding future affections in a
relationship. These are illegal acts even
within a marriage.
It is also important to know that at
this time Shannon Ellis, Dean of Student
and Academic Support Services, is the
chair of a Disappearing Task Force
(DTP) which is currently reforming the
sexual harassment policy on the campus.
Anyone who is interested in helping form
the policy can call Ellis and get a copy
of the draft. This DTE has been charged
with the responsibility of: clarifying what
is sexual harassment, recommending ongoing training and education programs,
and developing an institutional guide that
outlines situations of sexual harassment
which the community may encounter,
with suggested types of action to resolve
them. They will also be exploring the
affects of gender and reaction to gender
on the experience and education of
students.
Upon completion of the policy the
DTF will publish a brochure clearly
defining what will constitute sexual
harassment on this campus. Awareness
of these definitions and the issue of
sexual harassment should be everyone's
responsibility.

Exorcism and dreamlike occurrences
by Chris Bader
Paul Ingram, Chief Civil Deputy of
the
Thurston
County
Sheriff's
Department, was accused, along with two
friends, Jim Rabie and Ray Risch, of
being a member of a satanic cult that
ritually abused children.
But the case against Rabie and Risch
was dropped.
The Sheriff's Department had no
physical evidence to back its case, and
an expert claimed the victims were lying.
If Paul Ingram had not plead guilty,
his charges would have likely been
dropped as well. In fact, the entire case
rests on Paul's confession.
What if he changed his mind?
By February of 1990, Paul Ingram
reentered reality as we know it
Paul realized that the "memories" of
satanic gatherings he reported to
detectives were too elusive and dreamlike
to be real and that the memories never
came without excessive prompting, and
sometimes threats, from Thurston County
detectives.
Paul attempted to withdraw his
guilty plea, citing the coercive techniques
used by detectives in extracting his
confession. He noted that detectives and
his pastor preyed upon his deep religious
beliefs, telling him that he would "go to
hell" if he didn't start confessing. He
revealed that he was often told to
confess, even if he didn't remember an
event. Detectives and Pastor Bratun
assured Paul that the mere act of
confession would spur his memory.
Despite the evidence of coercion,
however, Paul's motion to withdraw his
guilty plea was denied by the court. In
its decision, the court stated that it did
not believe Ingram because he impeached
himself by retracting his earlier
statements! Paul was given a twenty year
jail sentence based on his earlier
Another Washington
admission of guilt.
Recently, I was able to correspond
with Paul Ingram from his prison in
New England. He gave me permission to
look at the diary he wrote while awaiting
trial.
The diary reveals a deeply troubled
man who believed he was a satanist,
even though he could not remember it; a
person who believed himself to be in a
personal struggle against the forces of
darkness. Nowhere is this more evident
than in Paul's exorcism, which is
described in the diary:
"By Friday of the first week the
case was flying along, fueled by fear,
emotion and confusion. What I now
realize was fear within me, at that (sic)
possession. I could feel this in my
stomach like a hardness or even a fist
that would grip my (sic) from the inside.
I asked for Pastor John Bratun and when
he came in I asked him to deliver me
from the "demon possession" as I called
it
Pastor Bratun assured me that I was
not possessed by demons, but that I
needed to be delivered of spirits such as
lust and gluttony that I had allowed into
my life.
We prayed together and then he had
me kneel on the floor bending over a
waste basket. He told me to cough from
deep inside my chest or stomach. This
produced a situation similar to dry heaves
but only brought up some flem (sic). I
expected some dark mass to come out of
me to remove that hardness in my
stomach.
After this exorcise or ritual, which
occurred in the Detective's office, we
resumed the interrogations...."
The exorcism is one of the most
troubling incidents in the Ingram case. It
is indicative of the investigation done by
the
Thurston
County
Sheriff's
Department, which appeared to cross the
divisions between church and state.
In a law enforcement investigation, a
witness's testimony is considered invalid
if that person is found to be permanently
or temporarily insane. There are several
criteria that can be used to categorize a
person as insane, including the belief that
one is being possessed or manipulated by
invisible entities.
The Thurston County Sheriffs
Department cannot claim that it was
unaware of Paul's belief that he was
possessed. As emphasized above, Paul's
exorcism was requested and performed in
front of detectives! They watched as
Paul kneeled over a garbage pail barfing
up evil spirits.
The exorcism, and Paul's behavior in
general, should have caused the Thurston
County Sheriffs Department to deeply
question the validity of his testimony.
Unless, of course, the detectives believed
in demonic possession.
Regardless, the incident illustrates that
the Ingram case became a witch hunt
rather than an investigation. Detectives
would not question anything, so long as
they received a confession.
On that note, I would like to let Paul
Ingram conclude this article. The
following is statement he wrote for me
describing his feelings about his
interrogations and his implication of Jim
Rabie and Ray Risch:
"I chose to trust men whom I believed
authorities. By putting my trust in mortal
men, I set myself up for the fall that I
took.
From the beginning, the investigation
was based on emotions, feelings, fear,
and confusion. Reason and caution were
cast aside as we all charged into the
investigation supposedly seeking the truth.
It should have been evident that the
truth was not what the investigation was
seeking when Dr. Ofshe was abruptly
dismissed after he gave the investigators
his conclusions, especially when the
prosecution attempted to cover up his
conclusions and allegations.
I truly regret the false charges made
against Ray and Jim. After the fact, I
now realize that these two faithful friends
were set up and targeted by detectives
because of personal difference
and
dislikes of two or three employees within
the Sheriffs
Office.
Ray and Jim were unjustly accused and
betrayed. I believe that both of them will
be totally vindicated of all charges made
against them. Thurston County owes them
much more than an apology. I ask for
their forgiveness.
I believe that all the truth will come
out and I trust God to totally vindicate
me and all the others implicated. Suffice
it to say, these crimes never occurred
except in the imaginations of myself and
others..."

Dear Brain Boy,
In the original Star Trek, the first
captain of record aboard the Enterprise
was Christopher Pike, played by actor
Jeffrey Hunter.
What ever became of him? In what
other movies did he appear?

Dear Chris,
Jeffrey Hunter was born Henry
Herman McKinnies on Nov 23, 1926 in
New Orleans, LA. Had he lived he
would have been 65 this Saturday.
Tragically his life was cut short on May
27, 1969 due to injuries from a fall.
Hunter played in 48 movies beginning in
1951 with Call Me Mister and ending in
1969 with The Hostess Also Has a
County. He also made twenty television
appearances including the Star Trek pilot
of which you write. In the interest of
brevity, I won't list all 68 appearances,
but I can provide a list if you like.
*Fun Fact While on the topic of
Star Trek (not that any of the Greeners
here watch it...), you should note that
from 1973-1975 there was a Star Trek
cartoon featuring the voices of the main
characters of the original series and
based on the original plots.

question makes me feel like the answer

Dear Brain Boy,
What does "pH balanced" mean?
-girlfriend of PM. Henry
Dear Lucky Woman,
I, as well as many pool owners,
have long grappled with the elusive pH
balance.
pH is a number which
indicated the concentration of hydrogen
ions in a solution. This concentration
determines the levels of acidity or
alkalinity. The numbers range from 014, with 0 being very acidic and 14
being very basic (in the chemical sense).
This system was developed by Danish
biochemist Soren Sorensen (I only
included that datum because I love that
name).
Now the interesting thing comes
when you realize that a neutral solution,
like pure water, has a pH of 7 (i.e. pH
balanced) at 77 Fahrenheit (25 C).
Now, according to the mythos of the
Illuminati, 2, 3, 5, and 7 are mystic
numerals.
2 + 5 (as in 25 C) = 7.
7 is the pH balance (at, strangely
enough 77 F)
I have played the Illuminati game
with...P.H. Henry!
Dear Brain Boy,
What would life be like if light

—Chris Stone, Joel Hilliker,

Dear Chris and Joel,
Conjecture alert! A fine question, still.
Well, light would leave its source, such
as a headlight, and travel at 30 mph, or
one half mile per minute. If you were
driving, say, a 1974 AMC Matador (note:
Brain Boy's fav car) at over 30 mph,
(i.e. the speed of light), the light, in
either the form of wave or particle,
would "bunch up" on the front surface of
the car, heating it. Though I won't (or
can't?) calculate it, there must be a
critical point in which your car would

Contemplating upside-down trees
by Rafael Marino
In my last column I suggested one
arithmetic problem that the reader could
solve with the geometric approach that
we have learned from the Pythagoreans.
Here is the problem again:
The arithmetic mean of two
numbers a and b is
a+b
while the geometric mean is
Tab .
Question: Can you claim any inequality
between the arithmetic and the geometric
means of any two numbers?
Can
you say that one of the two is always
less or equal than the other one?
Here is my solution: Draw a
semicircle with diameter a+b .
THE
MATHEMATICAL
must be of length
a+b
that is the
arithmetic mean of a and b ,
a+b
'2
a
b
Question: What is h equal to? The
two smaller triangles that form the
larger one are similar. Therefore
a_ = h_
h ~ b
Inscribe in the semicircle a triangle
(which must be a right triangle) with its
hypotenuse coinciding with the diameter
and so that the vertex opposite to the
hypotenuse is over the point on the
hypotenuse that divides the two
distances a and b .
a+b
Draw the height - with length h - of
this triangle over the hypotenusediameter and a vertical radius - which
and hence
h
that is the geometric mean of a and b .
We now observe that the height h
of the triangle is always less than or
equal to the radius, that is
/—- . a + b
Vab < —j—
or, in words, the geometric mean of two
numbers is less than or equal to their
arithmetic mean: which answers our
original question.

Admittedly, to derive this is not
READY-MADE LETTER TO MOM &
DAD--CLIP'N'SEND!
easy. However, once we have seen it we
will probably never forget it and thus we
have acquired a piece of information that
might be useful some time.
Here is another problem for you to
think about. The story goes that when
the Indian king Shirham learned about
this incredible game, chess, he told its
inventor, the Grand Vizier Sissa Ben
Dahir, that he could request in reward
anything he wanted. The inventor said
- All I want is one grain of wheat
on the first square of a chess board, two
on the second square, four on the next
one and so on until the last square of the
board is covered.
The king, indignant for such a
simple request said that he should ask
for sotnething of more value to which
the inventor replied that he did not want
anything more.
The king ordered his servants to
bring a few grains of wheat to satisfy
Sissa's request. The servants soon had
brought all the wheat available at the
palace, in the city, in all of India, and
they were never able to cover the board
the way that Sissa specified. In fact
there is not enough wheat in all the
world to satisfy the request.
Question: How many grains of wheat
are necessary to satisfy Sissa's request?
The reader may know the formula
for the sum of the geometric sequence
that we need to give the answer. What
could be interesting is to find a
Pythagorean way to visualize this
formula. (Hints: Think dynamically of
an upside-down tree.)

Saudi Arabian detained
Amnesty
International
by Jeff Crane
Muhammad al-Fasi, a Saudi Arabian
businessman, was detained on October 2,
1991, by Jordanian security forces while
staying at the Intercontinental Hotel in
Amman, Jordan. According to Jordanian
officials, he was then handed over to
Saudi Arabian authorities who had asked
for his extradition. Reports received by
Amnesty
International
state
that
Muhammad al-Fasi is currently detained
at a secret location in Riyadh and is at
risk of being tortured and executed.
The Saudi Arabian government has
apparently detained him because of his
political activities in the recent Gulf
War. During the Gulf crisis, Muhammad
al-Fasi was critical of the Saudi Arabian
government. He broadcast his criticisms
the "Voice of the People of Najd and
Hijaz," a radio station transmitting from
Baghdad. He also issued press releases
and made public statements calling for
reforms and democracy in Saudi Arabia.
In the aftermath of the Gulf War, he
established a fund to send humanitarian
aid to Iraq.
Amnesty International is gravely

Registration process unfair and confusing
by Andrea Damm
As a recent Evergreen graduate and
returning "special student," I have a few
comments concerning the state of the
registration process, which I know are
shared by many, if not all, students who
have ever had to endure this ritual
(punishment, as it were).
At Evergreen, this phenomena
seems to especially manifest at the onset
of fall quarter, where scores of incoming
first year and transfer students in
particular find themselves in a state of
panic. Faced with the prospect of nor
getting into their preferred program,
students find themselves with no choice
but to camp out in front of the
registration office to guarantee their
enrollment (forget trying to phone in; it's
an experience comparable to phoning in
for a radio contest), an act that is
tenuous at best. When the time comes
for the office to open, invariably there
are those who run to the head of the
line, cutting off students who have
SLEPT THERE OVERNIGHT. We've
either seen it happen, or done it at some
desperate point in our academic lives.
While on the surface we complain
that this practice is unfair, for both those
Forget trying to phone in;

for a radio contest.
people who have waited it out the
longest AND those who don't have the
luxury of homesteading in the first floor
foyer, I see it as a much more complex
issue where enrollment is treated as a
matter of "the luck of the draw," and not
as an issue of a student's suitedness to,
or preparation for, a particular program.
For those students who suffer through
the uncertainty of waiting lists, even
those that require a faculty signature, the
experience leads one to wonder why the
registration process remains, year after
year, in such a state of confusion.
Perhaps Evergreen's administrators
aren't aware of the distress this process
causes its students. Perhaps they don't
care. The long running speculation
among students has been that the purpose
of Evergreen's bureaucracy is to remind
us of how awful and unfair the real
world is. This theory would seem to
have a firmer foot in reality than we
give it credit for. As a captive audience,
we are at the mercy of bureaucratic
forces beyond our control.
In any case, for those of you who
have never ventured outside the realm of
Evergreen bureaucracy, there are more
efficient and equitable procedures for
registration being conducted on other
campuses (although you have to endure a
great deal of other problems, especially if
you are a "liberal arts" major).
Everything from mail-in appointment
scheduling to computerized telephone
menu systems. While there are drawbacks
to these methods, they are far better than
sleeping on the cold, hard floor of the
first floor foyer. With the recent budget
cuts to both academic and administrative
departments, I realize that now is not a
good time to advocate additional
expenditures. My concern at this time is
with whether the needs of the student
population are being heard and heeded,
because I have seen an enormous
inconsistency
emerge
between
Evergreen's bureaucratic policies and the
educational ideology it espouses to the
general public, from which it recruits its
students.

Feminist movement needs to refocus agenda
by Jane Laughlin
When I came to Evergreen, I had
this idea that I would find a community
replete with diversity, multiculturalism,
and lots of different people happily
getting together and sharing their
differences. But instead, I've experienced
a subtle exclusion from many campus
activities, and I'm sure many others
share this feeling. I've noticed that many
have found it necessary to divide
themselves up into little groups made up
of people who are all the same race, sex,
sexual orientation, or religion. I have
nothing against support groups, where
one can meet with people who have had
similar experiences. But Evergreen has
so many of these "clubs," one could see
them as organized, glorified cliques.
Funny thing is, I'd feel excluded from
any of these functions, as I am white,
heterosexual, omnivorous, and far from
calling myself a "womyn" or "wimmin"
or whatever the vowel is this week.
So, I went to the Heterosexual
Carnivores party last weekend, which
was pretty interesting, but ended up

seeming just like a regular Evergreen
party. We didn't discuss our lives as
heterosexuals, we just ate pizza (with
meat), and sat around talking. Some
people told some blonde jokes. Nobody
seemed to get offended, not even the
blondes. All in all, the fact that we were
heterosexual and occasional consumers of
flesh wasn't really discussed, just lightly
joked about. So, do you have to be part
of some oppressed minority to belong to
a social club at Evergreen? Apparently
Okay. I'm not extraordinarily
offended by the plethora of "minority"
social factions on campus. However, I do
get irked somewhat by the latest rage in
neo-feminism: attacking the spellings
within the English language and rooting
out all signs of subliminal sexism. You
know what I'm talking about. The many
different versions of "woman." The

completely ridiculous "herstory," in
reference to the word "history." I can
assure you that the word "his" as a
pronoun had nothing at all to do with
the origin of that word. When the
feminist movement is reduced to picking
apart spelling, of all things, maybe it's
time to refocus the agenda.
I could call myself a feminist. But
not the kind that I seem to see so much
of these days. I'm a woman who
believes in equality and fairness, and that
doesn't include man-hating and separatist,
elitist tactics. It's true that males do have
a monopoly over the power in society.
But men should be judged as individuals.
It isn't fair to blame everything on all of
them. You might be amazed to learn that
there are intelligent, white men who care
about women as people and actually
believe in equality, too. I've met several
of them here at Evergreen. They feel like
they're being persecuted by the "modern"
women's movement. Maybe we could
give them a chance to prove the integrity
of their character before declaring them
all to be patriarchal, sexist dogs.
So, why is it called herpes, anyway?

Embrace the human race, celebrate differences
by Raquel Salinas
I am Mexican, and I was born in
1969.
When I was very young in this
world I wanted to be treated like
everyone else. I wanted to fit in. Many
times I filled my head with ideas about
how I was just another member of the
Human Race and as such people would
treat me with respect accordingly. But I
was often reminded of who I was and
what I looked like.
I was reminded every time...
...someone asked me if I could speak
English.
...a new teacher would ask me if my
parents were migrant workers.
...someone yelled out "chink," "halfbreed," or "wetback."
Still, I tried to forget.
A good friend of the family one day
asked us if we felt inferior to her
because we were not white like she was.
Once, we went to a store and when we
came to the counter to pay for our
things, the store clerk explained to us
how he "never met a Mexican with that
much money before." We were travelling
through a small town and tried to get
something to eat at a small diner. They
wouldn't serve us. My whole entire
family, six of us, ignored for no apparent
reason. Later that day we found out from
surrounding businesses that simply,
"They don't serve Mexicans there."
As hard as I would try, no one
would let me be just a member of the
Human Race. Since then I've learned to
love words and labels that I choose for
myself and I embrace all that they are to
me. When someone refers to me as
Mexican, this is not an insult, it's an
honor. When I say that I'm a Mexican
Woman, I don't mean some ridiculous
stereotype that some small minds believe
in. These words don't box me in, they
open up whole new worlds, histories, and
ways of being.
Now it seems like everywhere I turn,
critics and politicians are trying to tell
me what's best for me and how I should
not "isolate" myself by attaching labels
to who I am. I will never accept a
derogatory term for who I am. Never
once did I ever ask anybody to call me
a "wetback," those types of ideas
belonged to somebody else. I believe that
I can be a woman, a person, a Mexican,
and a member of the Human Race all at
the same time. Those of you who say
that I can't are doing the isolating and
the separating. Do you think that I am
not qualified to be in your Human Race
club because I am not playing by your
rules of throwing my labels away? You
are wrong.
Finally, I have learned to play by my
own rules, and I am tired of people
trying to tell me what to do. So preach
all you want about labels... we'll make
more. Paz.

sake of credibility.
In that light I will also begin printing
the appropriate salutations for the officials

On Nov. 7, the CPJ reported an
acquaintance rape in Housing. The article
stated that the rape was reported to
Housing, and we then reported the
incident to Security. This statement is
accurate; however, I think it is critical
that students know that the Housing staff
does not report incidents such as this
without the victim's permission. Our
philosophy is to empower the victim to
make choices, to ensure that s/he is

An explanation
for leaf removal
Last year I received several phone
calls and questions from folks on campus
about leaf removal. This year I expect
the same, but that's fine (x6347). I
thought a little information might be
helpful, however.
Fall leaf removal is one the most
difficult tasks the groundskeeping staff
perform, next to snow removal. Both
tasks pose many of the same problems.
The sheer volume, safety issues, and
limited time that grounds staff have to
deal with leaves and snow require special
understanding. The grounds staff (only
three of them, because of vacant
positions)
has
been
temporarily
supplemented with shop staff in order to
keep pace, but still the peak of this work
load is formidable.
Grounds people work four ten-hour
days per week. The preponderance of
leaf removal is done in the early
morning hours between 6 and 8 am with
as much mechanized equipment as we
can muster. Leaf removal may continue
later in the day, but with less disruptive
equipment such as sweepers and our Turf
VAC. Earnest efforts are also made to
keep major jogging/bicycle paths to the
campus core clear and safe.
People have asked why the grounds
staff bother with the grass when it is the
walkway surface that really needs
clearing. We learned quickly that the
wind is able to rearrange leaves from
one area to another in short order, and
cleared walkways are soon covered
again. It is important to clear the lawns
and areas adjacent to walks to minimize
our total work time in each area.
We have been diligent, as well, in
setting priorities. The areas that receive
the most attention are corridors from
parking lots B and C and the campus
core, which includes Red Square.
Priority considerations not only cover
traffic areas, but the kinds of removal
equipment we use because of traffic,
noise, and conflict with other necessary
work, such as the recent fire hydrant
excavation and repair.
If you have some questions about
In
response to the article
"Evergreeners need universal social
lubricant" (Oct. 31 CPJ):
I agreed with your plea for a
playground for Greeners. Beer bashes are
needed for some. It seems you are not,
however, representing all Greeners. You
are representing the typical college
student; the single, dorm-party college
students. Which is fine. There should be
something for all, however. Evergreen,
and your article, have neglected a large
chunk of its students and their needs
here at TESC; Greener parents.
How does a parent with no child
care go party with bands and beer? In
students who are parents who are raising
our future. I have always thought of
Evergreen as a place where we all
belong together and celebrate our
differences in support of each other.

This is a question to Maureen

the European philosophy of Socrates to
that of the indigenous wisdom of Mary
Ellen Hillaire?
Also, as I mentioned in an earlier
letter; until this society filled with labels
evolves into many societies respectful of
each other's identities, then there seems
to be no other alternative than to choose
a label that is less offensive than the one
we left behind. Name dropping will not
get us to that point. To all of my

Student parents
not represented
However, there are several groups who
are not being equally represented. One of
these is the Parent's Group.
I'm not saying we should have only
conservative
family
activities to
accommodate the parents. Why should
we neglect one group to accommodate
another? What I'm saying is there should
be, in addition to the traditional Greener
party concerts, activities geared toward
the Greener parents who have long been
forgotten and isolated from the Evergreen
community.
One last note: I have organized an
ongoing potluck on Monday nights from
6 pm - 8 pm in L2310 (room is subject
to change but notices will be put up) for
Greener parents and their families. I
invite all TESC parents to come eat with
us and discuss your needs at TESC. I
am working with S&A to organize more
activities, but we need to work together.
Let's claim our chunk of Evergreen! We
worked hard to be here, so don't you
think we deserve equal recognition?

Safety is the
issue, not guns
I am frequently amazed at the
ignorance I see and hear on this campus
regarding Security. I am referencing a
response published in the Nov. 7 issue
written by Melissa Shomaker. She
personifies the typically uneducated and
uncaring attitude towards Campus
Security. She mentions that the officer in
question was looking for her vehicle,
however she did not mention that when
the officer arrived, she was not out at
her vehicle waiting. An officer cannot
legally attempt a jumpstart without the
owner present and only if they sign a
waiver. She also fails to mention that she
had a foreign vehicle, thus the problem
locating the battery. I have been a
federal law enforcement officer for five
years, and talking from experience, not
every engine is made the same,
especially the type she drives.
I would also like her to lift the hood
of her vehicle and see if she can read
any lettering under 21 years of dirt,
grease, and grime. I personally would
not enjoy having to buy a new uniform
shirt (at $40 each) every time I had to
jumpstart an extremely dirty car. Melissa
Shomaker mentions that she doesn't
know what good it would do to give
Security guns-like just anyone can
immediately obtain a gun... Come on!
Ask any law enforcement officer how
long the hiring process took before he or
she finally became a commissioned
police officer. They will tell you it took
upwards of a year due to months of
testing, extensive background checks,
psychological evaluations, polygraph
tests, physicals, and oral boards. If they
made it through that, then they complete
months of training through the
Washington State Criminal Justice
Training Commission.
The issue is not to slap a gun in
their hands and send them out to be
Calamity Jane or Billy the Kid. The
issue at stake, and by far the most
important issue, is SAFETY. Yours,
mine, the officers, and any other person
who comes onto this campus. I find it
frightening to know that due to the
bureaucracy of this community, our
security is not allowed to perform any
police function due to the fact that they
cannot defend you, me, or themselves in
a dangerous situation, and by that I do
not mean just whipping out a gun, but
not having adequate training or
equipment.
There have been several incidents
where security has just had to stand
around while a crime was being
committed and wait for Thurston County
Sheriff Officers to arrive. Any reasonable
person should know that there are many
ways to diffuse or handle a situation, and
that 'deadly force,' the use of a weapon,
is only used in life threatening situations
as a last resort when all other means
have failed. Most members of Evergreen
Security have been police officers before
coming to Evergreen. Most officers have
the intelligence and capability to again
become police officers, and all are deeply
concerned for your safety. If I were you,
I would be more concerned about the real
issues here. Please look at all the facts
before pointing fingers, and don't be to
quick to judge all Security officers by the
actions of one.
Jane M. Wood, Campus Security
Saddened by
unwise people
Politics...how many families have
been torn apart by political differences?
Let alone setting strangers at each others'
throats? I'd like to apologize to everyone
if the debates between Mike Grutchfield
and myself have blurred the political and
the personal. I too think it would be sad
to have a Mike and Ray show where we
bash each other over the head for the
amusement of readers.
It would be pitiful and stupid for me
to give a resume of my years of
community activism before coming to
Evergreen or to try and denigrate
Michael's. I applaud his actions and as
usual, encourage others to contribute
then- own talents towards creating a
better world.
However, I still believe that he is
absolutely wrong in his shunning of
electoral politics. Anyone who believes
that they will exert any influence over
events by attending political lectures and
participating in "riots" is fooling
themselves. Furthermore, anyone who
believes that they can change things by
merely voting twice a year is living in a
comparable delusion. Only through a
holistic combination of governmental and
extra-governmental actions will any
substantive changes be made.
As for the Anarchist Cookbook, I
still eagerly await the evidence of FBI
manipulation that "everyone" knows
about.
When I see someone being unwise,
it may sadden me but when they
advocate that others follow their
example, I feel an obligation to reply
and will continue to do so. I never
considered our discourse to be a personal
conflict, Mike, and regret that you do.
Hopefully, any future disagreements can
be pursued in a friendlier spirit.

Little Man Tate is a triumph for Foster
by Jane Laughlin
LITTLE MAN TATE
STARRING JODIE FOSTER, DIANNE WEST, AND
ADAM HANN-BYRD
DIRECTED BY JODIE FOSTER
LACEY CINEMAS
Academy Award winner Jodie
Foster's directorial debut, Little Man Tate,
is a touching story which debates what is
more important: being a genius, or being
happy. And can you have both? It
reminded me of a riddle in The Book of
Questions: "Would you rather be brilliant
but live alone and unhappy, or be stupid
but lead a life of popularity and
happiness?"
Fred Tate (Adam Hann-Byrd, in his
first film), is a sensitive eight year-old
genius with an ulcer, who dreams of
existing in the paintings of Vincent Van
Gogh. His single mother Dede (Foster)
supports the two of them with her job as
a cocktail waitress. She can hardly
understand the magnitude of her son's
Foster and Hann-Byrd: Is blood thicker than cube roots?
gift, and instead concentrates on having
fun with him.
Through the channels of his incredibly
inadequate
elementary school,
the
president of an institute for gifted children
(Dianne Wiest) discovers Fred's talent for
learning. She intends to develop Fred's
intellect by enrolling him in a summer
college physics course, and, of course, her
own institute the following fall.
Unfortunately, no one~except for his
mother—can see what a lonely, confused,
and alienated little boy Fred is. He carries
the weight of the world's ills on his
shoulders, and cannot make successful
social contact with those his age. Thus,
his painful decision between pursuing
academia or trying to grow up normal.
Foster's direction is impressive, and I
enjoyed the performances, especially that
of Hann-Byrd, whose round, freckled face
usually reflected a charming state of
wonder and rational calm. I was also
pleased to see an appearance by Harry
Connick Jr., who was also in Memphis
Belle, and is usually noted for his other
career as a jazz vocalist and pianist.
I
recommend
this
thoughtful,
believable film to anyone, especially those
who grew up estranged from their peers
because of the curse of uniqueness.
Jane Laughlin likes to watch The Ren
and Stimpy Show.
'Independent Press Review' peruses activists
by Ray Goforth
Ray Goforth has this bad habit of
collecting, reading, and reviewing
independent publications from all around
the world, and then he sends the reviews
to the CPJ and tells me to run'em. He
also co-edits Bad Haircut, a sort of
annual journal of politics and John
Lennon drawings. If you'd like to see a
particular publication reviewed, send it to
Ray care of the CPJ.

$3.50 sample issue
$8.00 subscription
This is an interesting magazine with
a multicultural slant. There are a variety
of articles about apartheid, rap music,
hyphenated-Americans and individuals
working hard for racial harmony and
peace. There are also thirteen fiction
pieces included in the issue I have. AIM
is an extremely worthwhile effort and an
encouraging market for the budding

$7.50 low income
"The Seattle Community Catalyst is a
monthly newspaper designed to enhance
communication, cooperation and collective
empowerment
among
Seattle-area
organizations and individuals working for
a peaceful, just, and ecologically sound
community and world."
This issue has a retrospective on the
gulf war and what conditions are like
now,
news of a Seattle bisexual
conference, Operation Homestead, and
various other assorted newsbits.
This isn't journalists writing about
activists, this is activists writing about
activists. The approach has its drawbacks
but overall S.C.C provides a depth and
perspective
that won't be found
elsewhere. S.C.C lists contact names and
addresses in its mission to help link the
people interested in assorted issues with
the groups working on them. More than
a newspaper, (hopefully) a catalyst for
social change.

8 1 / 2 x 5 1/2, 38 pages
$4.00 single issue
$20.00 six issue subscription
New Hope International is filled with
the type of dreadful poetry that makes me
think of my eighth grade english teacher.
However, it does provide a good crosssection of the mainstream British literary
scene. The "notes on contributors" section
was the most interesting part of the
magazine: "Neil K. Henderson is founder
of the Official Glasgow University FishWorshiping Society," "Vince Laszlo is
working on Romania's first mail-art
project," and "Stephen Devereaux was
born in Cape Town, 1959 but left for
political reasons in 1983." Some people
will really be into what this has to offer.
Nonviolent Activist

339 Lafayette Street
New York, NY 10012
8 1/2 x 11 inches, 24 pages
$1.50 single issue
$15.00 a year
The cover has a translation of Article
IX of the Japanese constitution: "Aspiring
sincerely to an international peace based
on justice and order, the Japanese people
forever renounce war as a sovereign right
of the nation and the threat or use of
force as means of settling international
disputes...." Inside there's am article on
the Indonesian invasion of East Timor. A
war ignored here in the United States
despite (or perhaps because) American
supplied weapons were used to slaughter
215,000 people. It continues with articles
on Yugoslavia, Buddhist monks and book
reviews. The issue is sprinkled with
delightful artwork and activist news clips
help to round it out. Even if you don't
subscribe to nonviolence as a political
strategy, the Nonviolent Activist is a great
source of alternative news.

Jerusalem play string of non sequiturs
Peace?, a theater piece questioning the
Israeli occupation of Palestine and
examining definitions of peace with
discussion afterward. So I decided to go,
being as I would like to get another view
on the subject.
What I saw was a barrage of
disjointed short theater scenes, ranging
from an operating room where uncaring
Israeli doctors carve up a Palestinian
(mixed with video), to an interrogation of
an Palestinian (also mixed with video), to
one of the actors finding out her brother
had been beaten and arrested by Seattle
police. I felt like I had just seen a
preview for an upcoming mini-series.
What does it all mean? Apparently
that's for the playwright to know and you
figure out "I'm not going to make it easy
for you," she said. Guess I'm just dumb
then. I didn't figure it out, nor do I want
to after seeing the piece, which is too
bad.
Throughout the performance I kept
asking myself, who are these characters?
Was theater piece
political
or propaganda?

JERUSALEM: CITY OF PEACE?
WRITTEN AND DIRECTED BY BETH MAHMOUND-

EVERGREEN RECITAL HALL, NOVEMBER 16, 8
PM
Propaganda, according to Webster's,
means, "dissemination (to foster general
knowledge, disperse, diffuse) of ideas,
information, or rumor for the purpose of
helping or injuring an institution, a cause,
or a person."
All last week around campus, I kept
seeing posters for Jerusalem: City of
Crome Mary
rages on the
eastside
by RJ Nesse
Live music always sounds better
in unheated basements... well at least it
did last Friday night as CrOmg M2ry
crashed into the Oly' scene with its live
musical debut.
Broken guitar strings, spam singa-longs, and even a foreign national
anthem highlighted this diverse show;
where even a malfunctioning keg tap
didn't bring the crowd down.
This reporter was never quite
clear why the local authorities chose to
break up the gig, (half way through the
second set,) but if the groans of the
crowd attest to the quality of the music,
Crome Mary raged.
With that, I'll remind you to
watch for the band (Suzanne, Brook,
Kent, Craig, Mike and Dave) with the
twin chrome statues of the Virgin Mary.
Their music is as fervently fundamental
as their taste in art
RJ Nesse is the editor of the CPJ.
By-the-bye, the CPJ is looking for
someone to cover the local band scene
(ie: announcing the band/time/place before
the show) on a weekly basis. Wouldn't it
be cool to know that Shark Wig (you
know—from U-dorm) will be playing in
the Mods on Saturday night? Wouldn't
you be happy, wouldn't it be great? Can't
you just feel the joy and passion?
Ok~so if you are in the know-get in touch with Andrew Hamlin at 8666000 x6213 or drop the by Library 2510.
Then, we will all know when Shark Wig,
CrOme Mary, and the infamous Helltrout
will be rocking our worlds.
(No names were used.) Whose story is it?
(The characters changed with each scene.)
Can I empathize with anyone? (There
wasn't time.) Does this make me want to
know more? (No.)
Then I asked myself one more
question: What was the purpose of the
piece? And the only answer I came up
was this: to get me to the theater for the
discussion following the performance.
Two invited speakers opened the
discussion-turned-political-seminar,
one
from an Israeli standpoint and one from a
Palestinian standpoint (the playwright's
husband).
During
the
hour-long
discussion, they threw many interesting
figures and statistics at us, but no
references were made to the theater piece
we had just seen. In fact, only two
questions about the piece even came up,
and they dealt with structure, not content.
This is not to say that politics
doesn't belong in theater. The two do, in
fact, they go hand in hand. But the
beauty and power of theater is that it
Mindscreen

EVERGREEN~In the rush to print the
Mindscreen Fall Quarter Film Festival
flier several errors were made.
With the exception of the first date
(Nov. 7 instead of Nov. 8), all titles,
times and dates are correct. But there are
several spelling errors. Besides these, A

Apocalypse Now was directed by
Coppola, not Kubrick.

presents an opportunity for dialogue
between the actors, the playwright, and
the audience. I think the message (if there
is one) and power of Jerusalem: City of
Peace? got lost in the playwright's
"abstract painting" style of performance.
I'm not saying everything done in the
theater should be in a classical style.
There have been many powerful pieces
done in non-traditional styles throughout
history. But as an audience member, I so
felt disjointed that I lost interest, and the
playwright didn't seem interested in
letting me in on it
So, in a way, I felt tricked. I came
to the theater to see a performance piece
with a discussion following, and instead
got propaganda with a lecture following.
When I expressed this in the discussion,
the playwright responded, "Sorry you feel
that way," and another woman chimed in
with, "You could have left" Again, that's
too bad. The opportunity for dialogue was
lost
I guess I just wish the posters had
been more clear.
