GOVERNANCE: raerS°f
by Dan Arnold
Governance is a relic of Evergreen
that became extinct before it ever had a
chance to live. A process by which
representatives of the student body
resolve campus issues, governance is
based on Evergreen's underlying belief
that a student's education is the shared
responsibility of student and staff.
Ideally, any and all interested students
would congregate on Wednesdays to
decide important topics concerning the
college. Realistically, several factors have
repeatedly contributed to the deterioration
of the student government system, and
subsequently no established government
has been able to fulfill its purpose.
In past years, politics, power
struggles, and apathy have worked to
make governance nearly ineffective in
deciding issues important to the campus.
This year's processes have been
strikingly familiar to those of 1990-91,
yet people involved seem fairly
optimistic, at least optimistic enough to
submit proposals to S and A (Student
Affairs) for a new system of governance.
Although
governance
has
conceptually been around since the
beginning of the school, the need for a
set system of deciding student issues was
realized and acted upon for the first time
in 1988. Even so, nothing was resolved
until last year, when proposals for a
governance structure were drawn up by
four different groups and submitted for
consideration. All of these proposals
proved to be ineffective, yet one group
prevailed and their system of governance
was instituted. After a short period of
operation, this group was voted out and
a caucus system with divisions based on
ethnic origins was instituted. The new
system raised a great deal of interest and
controversy due to the dominance of the
European caucus, and attendance reached
its highest level ever. The group dealt
with (but did not pass) documents to

bring S and A under student governance
control and to regulate funds for this
year. This caucus form of governance
was later deemed unconstitutional and
disbanded in March, shortly after which
the founders of the original systems
graduated, leaving this year's prospective
student government relatively in the dark.
Although already reminiscent of past
years' mishaps, this year's governance
could prove to be quite fruitful. S and A
again requested prospective formats for
governance processes, and two groups are
drawing up tentative plans. It remains
nearly impossible to contact either of
these groups, and both have failed to
establish concrete meeting places even
with S and A. Governance itself has not
yet come into operation, but a proposal
should be forthcoming in the near future.
When an operable system does emerge, a
vote among the student body will ensue
to decide whether that method is
acceptable. This is the stage in past
processes when the process has gotten
clogged. If, however, an acceptable
method can be submitted in a reasonably
short
period
of
time,
similar
complications may be bypassed this time,
allowing
student
government
to
concentrate on campus issues.
Problems that this year's and last
year's group seem to have in common
are apathy on campus and a lack of
organization and attendance. The "simple"
solutions to these problems seem readily
apparent-get organized and increase
student knowledge about (and subsequent
interest in and participation in)
governance. On the other hand, whether
this year's student government can
overcome the political hang-ups of past
groups and make governance live up to
its vast potential is one event that
remains to be seen.

No golf for Mitsubishi
by Mike Pelly
On Nov. 1, Dan Cudaback,
spokesman for the Mitsubishi Company,
announced that Mitsubishi is withdrawing
from its interest in development of a
large golf resort on the Olympic
Peninsula. Mitsubishi holds 60% interest
in Peninsula Partners, the Seattle
company which is planning to turn 1,942
acres in the Sequim area into a
destination resort. Lowe Enterprises,
another partner in the resort, will assume
responsibility for its development. Andy
Norris, President of Lowe Northwest
Development Services, said Mitsubishi
and Lowe are looking for new investors
in the project
Cape Discovery Resort has been met
with a lot of opposition from locals in
and outside the Sequim area. Save Our
State Parks, an organization fighting to
save Miller Peninsula, the site of the
planned resort, has taken the Mitsubishi

company to court over the matter. They
now want a time and date of the planned
pullout, for Mitsubishi to return the stateowned land to its original condition, and
to repay the local citizens for the legal
costs incurred in fighting this project.
Mitsubishi Corporation is one of the
largest destroyers of tropical rainforests
around the world. They have either
mining and/or operations in the
Philippines, Maylasia, and Brazil deep
into the Amazon rainforests to the
borders of Colombia and Peru.
Saturday Nov. 16 is World
Rainforest Day, so in solidarity with
Indigenous peoples and rainforest groups
both local and around the world, the
Olympia Rainforest Action Group will be
doing a picket outside Hanson Mitsubishi
at 2300 Carriage Loop S.W. Olympia (at
the Capital Auto Mall) on Nov. 16
between the hours of 11 am and 3 pm.

Wheels still turning in
TESC Bike Shop
by Andrew Hamlin
Josh Bernstein, coordinator of the
Evergreen Bike Shop, wants people to
know his organization is alive, doing
well, and will remain in the CAB
building basement
"To dispel any rumors, we are not
moving, we're open every day of the
week as opposed to two days a week
last year, and we are here. That's my
main message," said Bernstein in an
interview from his office last week.
The Bike Shop, founded several
years ago to help students repair bikes
cheaply, has had financial problems in
the past, and went through a shake-up
last year when it switched management
from Student Activities (S&A) to Aldo
Melchiori, head of the College
Recreation Center (CRC), but is now in
better financial shape and recruiting new
members, Bernstein said.
"The switch over from S&A actually
gave us more money," said Bernstein.
"Leisure Ed runs courses in here and we
get 40% of what they make."
"We have more money to work
with, we have more freedom. I can go to
Aldo with a problem and he'll say,
'Don't worry, I'll take care of it,' as
opposed to the S&A board, who can't do
anything."

Last year, its first under CRC
management, Bernstein says the Shop
had "one volunteer, and that was me. It
was me and the old coordinator." Now it
has eight volunteer mechanics, a twentyhour work week, and earns up to $40
each day.
The shop's biggest moneymaking
project involves the acquisition of thirty
abandoned or unclaimed bicycles from
Security, which the Shop will sell
disassembled. "We're gonna strip the
bikes down for parts, makefiles of
parts, and then sell a bike frame for
$30," said Bernstein. "With that and the
spare parts, you can build a bike."
"There's no promise that we'll have
enough parts to make a whole bike for
everyone, but with the $30 frame and
some of our parts, you can put one
together for a lot less money than you
could otherwise."
The Coordinator's other projects
include a Shop membership drive ("$5 a
quarter gets you unlimited use of the
shop during open hours,") acquisition of
new parts for repairs, and distribution of
Bike Shop t-shirts with a black-and-white
drawing of a surrealistic cyclist "We
hope to have the bookstore carry them,"
Bernstein said.

Deadly Deception exposes nuclear hazards
by Wendy Call
General Electric's massive role in
the production and promotion of nuclear
weapons, and the legacy of radioactive
and toxic waste its work has left behind,
will be the subject of a video screening
and benefit at the Evergreen State
College on Wednesday, Nov. 20.
The video, Deadly Deception:
General Electric, Nuclear Weapons and
Our Environment, is a half-hour expose

on the environmental hazards of GE's
nuclear weapons work. General Electric
is one of the largest producers of nuclear
weapons in the country, making
components for every major system in
the US arsenal. The company was the
sole contractor at the Hanford Nuclear
Reservation from 1946 to 1964. Deadly
Deception documents GE's hand in the
extensive environmental and health
damage there. During GE's tenure at

Swimmers make a splash
by Ruth Frobe
The Evergreen swim team opened
the 1991 season Friday in a double dual
meet with Willamette and the University
of Puget Sound. Many of the Geoducks
swam personal best times and first-year
coach Jannette Parent said, "I'm ecstatic,
so are they...they swam well. We had
people beat their season goal." Parent
commented that the team was "psyched"
for the meet and during the meet the
start official came over to comment on
the team support and enthusiasm coming
from Evergreen's team.
The women's team was led by
freshman Kristie Copp who placed third
in both 100m freestyle and the 50m
freestyle with times of 1:06.46 and 30.32

respectively.
The women's 400m
freestyle relay of Copp, Erin Sweet,
Allison D'Ambrosio, and Michelle
Burlitch placed second with a time of
4:45.14. For the men, highlights included
first-year swimmer Troye Bolin finishing
with a 29.93 fifth place in 50m freestyle
next to Ken Cheney who finished fourth
in 29.51. The men's 400m freestyle relay
of Nathan Turhaski, Oliver Moffat,
Bolin, and Cheney registered a 4:34:16
fifth place finish.
The next competition for the
Geoduck swimmers will be Nov. 22 at
Pacific Lutheran University.
Ruth Frobe is the Women's Soccer
coach and a regular contributor to the
CPJ.

Hanford, hundreds of thousands of curies
of radioactive particles were releasedoften intentionally-into the air, ground
and water. The most infamous of these
releases, the "Green Run," was a planned
experiment in which 5,039 curies of
iodine-131 were released into the
atmosphere in December 1949. No
warning was ever issued to the public,
and the first reports about the Green Run
didn't appear in the press until 1985.
Most of these reports fail to mention
GE's role in the Green Run. Deadly
Deception widely publicizes this for the
first time. Judith Jurji, organizer of the
Hanford Downwinders Coalition said of
Deadly Deception: "Downwinders know
that General Electric ran Hanford during
the worst era of secret contamination, but
only a few are aware that one of our
greatest allies in getting the truth out
about it is INFACT. The excellent new
IMPACT video will change that."
INFACT, an international corporateaccountability organization, has been
calling attention to GE's nuclear weapons
work since 1986. In June of that year,
the group called a boycott of GE,
demanding it stop all further production
and promotion of nuclear weapons
systems and components, and implement
conversion plans at the affected facilities.

TIAA-CREF Participant

of INFACT's Nuclear Weaponmakers
Campaign, and is putting pressure on the
entire industry by focusing on the
industry leader. INFACT, the group that
forced Nestle to change its unethical
marketing practices of infant formula, has
mobilized over four million people to
boycott all GE products and services.
GE's involvement in nuclear weapons
production goes back to the beginning of
the nuclear age. GE provided products
and services for the Manhattan Project, to
build the atomic bombs dropped on
Hiroshima and Nagasaki. After the war,
GE President Charles E. Wilson became
one of the first to advocate for what is
now known as the "permanent war
economy." Today, GE's powerful role in
shaping both military and economic
policy is well-documented. GE employs
approximately 150 people in its DC
lobbying office-making it the largest
among the top nuclear weaponmakers.
Although GE claims its lobbyists
advocate for all of GE's products—from
light bulbs to jet engines, the numbers
tell a different . story. Most nonweaponmaking corporations have far
smaller lobbying operations. Exxon, the
largest US corporation, has fewer than 20
people in the its DC office.
GE's power extends far beyond
industry and government. Its control of
media and information sources is
growing. GE owns NBC, and underwrites
the Audubon Society's television series
and
National
Public
Radio's
"Marketplace." Fairness and Accuracy in
Reporting, a media watchdog group, has
documented many examples of bias in
GE-sponsored programs. In the fall of
1990, NBC's "Today" Show invited
National Boycott News editor Todd
Putnam to appear on a segment on
boycotts—but only if he did not mention
the largest one in the country: the GE
Boycott.
To combat this censorship, INFACT
is aggressively
distributing Deadly
Deception. Grassroots organizations and
concerned individuals around the country,
and throughout the world, have joined
with INFACT to set up public showings
and cable television broadcasts of the
video. In the Northwest, showings and
airings have been held in Seattle,
Spokane, Richland, Tacoma, Portland,
Astoria, Engene and Moscow. The video
has won several major film festival
awards, including the "Golden Hugo" at
the Chicago Festival in Washington, DC,
and "Best of Festival" at the International
Earth Peace Festival in Burlington, VT.

J: Money? It's uh...I equate money with
freedom. I don't equate it with success,
but I equate it with freedom.
I: Did your mom usta ever make Jell-o

J: No. But she did put fruit cocktail
pieces in it, these little 2 x 2 squares of
Jell-o with fruit cocktail in it.

I: Did you ever get into fights with your
siblings over who got to eat them little
pink half cherries?
J: Oh, in the fruit cocktail? I don't recall
fighting over that. I grew up with three
sisters, they didn't like those cherries, so
there was no fight. We'd fight over TV

Dear Brain Boy,
Why is it that 4 and 14 are spelled
four...and 40 is spelled for..?
-The Uns Bros.
Dear Uns Bros.,
The word "four" comes down
through time from the Old English word,
"feower." Forty is also a variant from
this root-it is four times ten (the "-ty"
on the end is the remnant of "ten")
Although in modem usage 40 is spelled
without the "u", Chaucer did spell it
"fourty" in 1386. Perhaps the "u" was
dropped in the interest of brevity. Of
course, that still doesn't explain fourteen,
a longer word than forty. Who ever said
English was consistent?
Dear Brain Boy,

broadcasting is done in two ways, AM or
FM.
AM stands for amplitude
modulation, which means the amplitude of
the wave is varied to match the carrier
wave. FM is frequency modulation, and
means the frequency is varied to match
the carrier wave. FM gives the truer
signal. AM bounces off the ionosphere
and for this reason can travel further (FM
continues off into space). A 50,000 watt
AM station can broadcast up to 1000

Tales of infant sacrifice in possible cover-up
by Chris Bader
From the beginning, the Thurston
County Sheriffs Department was on top
of the Ingram rape case.
Detectives recorded the confessions
of Paul Ingram, who admitted to raping
his own children in the midst of satanic
ceremonies.
Detectives gathered the
testimony of Paul's children and captured
his evil accomplices, Jim Rabie and Ray
Risch.
A satanic cult had been dismantled,
piece by piece and once again the
peaceful, God-fearing community of
Olympia could rest easy.
At least that's the way the Sheriff's
Department wishes the story had gone...
In the May 4, 1989 issue of the
Daily Olympian, it was announced that
the rape charges against Jim Rabie and
Ray Risch, the two men charged with
being the accomplices of Paul Ingram in
the ritualistic, satanic rapes of his
children, had been dropped.
According to the Olympian, Rabie
and Risch had been freed because their
victims were "too traumatized" to testify
at their trial. The tone of the Olympian
article was unstated, but clear. Once
again the justice system had failed.
Criminals had been freed on a
technicality.
As usual, the Olympian missed the
full story. No one on its fine staff ever
saw fit to dig deeper into the Ingram
story, even though it was one of major
importance to the greater Olympia
community. Articles in the Olympian

Another Washington

consisted solely of statements taken
directly from the Sheriff's Department
and the prosecution. Even
a
brief
reading of the transcripts from the
Ingram case should have given pause to
the Olympian's reporters.
For example, when Dr. Richard
Ofshe, a sociologist and expert on cult
mind control and coerced confessions
from Berkeley, California, was hired by
the Sheriff's Department, he quickly
warned them that the confessions of Paul
Ingram were the result of pressure
techniques applied by detectives and Jon
Bratun of the Living Waters Church in
Tumwater. Ofshe also reported that he
believed Julie and Ericka Ingram were
lying. (See the October 24, 1991 issue
of the CPJ for more detail).
The prosecution fired Dr. Ofshe and
attempted to keep his report out of the
records. Ofshe's discrediting of Paul and
the Ingram children was especially
damaging, as the prosecution never had
physical evidence to back their charges.

Ericka and Julie Ingram claimed that
they had been forced to attend satanic
ceremonies at least three times a month
for seventeen years. They claimed that a
couple of hundred live infants had been
sacrificed at these meetings, as well as
countless animals. The members of the
group, which numbered thirty or more,
supposedly wore robes, carried knives, set
up altars, and held ceremonies at several
different locations.
However, no one has ever found the
body of one of the hundreds of babies
supposedly sacrificed. .No one has ever
inadvertently stumbled onto one of these
meetings as they took place over a nearly
twenty year period.
In
desperation
The
Sheriff's
Department dug up the entire yard
surrounding the Ingram home, to no
avail.
No treasure trove of animal
skeletons, no bodies, nor any of the
elaborate trappings of a cult were found.
It could be argued that the members
of the satanic cult were good at hiding
evidence, but Ericka and Julie's own
bodies did not support their stories.
Ericka and Julie claimed that they had
been raped, mutilated, and forced to have
abortions several times at the hands of
the satanists.
In January of 1989, the Ericka and
Julie were given a gynecological
examination by Dr. Judith Ann Jacobsen,
of Providence hospital in Seattle. Dr.
Jacobsen concluded that the girls did not
appear to have suffered the abuse they

reported. Their bodies did not indicate
any scarring, except for an appendix scar
from an appendectomy on Ericka Ingram.
There was also no evidence that either
girl had suffered an abortion or any
sexual abuse.
And so the Ingram case did not fall
apart simply because witnesses were "too
traumatized" to speak.
In fact, it is quite clear that the
Sheriffs Department conducted such a
shoddy investigation that the charges
against Jim Rabie and Ray Risch
wouldn't have held up in court, even if
they had come to trial. Furthermore, a
compelling case can be made that the
Sheriff's Department should never have
touched the Ingram case!
Consider the following. Paul Ingram
was the Chief Civil Deputy of the
Sheriff's Department. Jim Rabie was a
former employee.
Ingram also named
several other members of the Sheriff's
Department as being participants in poker
games he held at his house during which
his daughters, Ericka and Julie were
sexually abused.
Undersheriff Neil McClanahan, who
headed the Ingram investigation, even
admits to being at some of the poker
games, but he claims that he must have
left before any abuse took place.
If Paul Ingram's claims are true, then
upwards of a dozen employees of
Thurston County Sheriffs Departments
are satanic rapists! Why, then, did the
department
handle
the
Ingram
investigation by itself?
It seems a matter of common sense
that a department should not investigate
itself. As recently as last week, the
Thurston County Sheriff's Department
handed over the murder investigation of
one of its deputies to the Olympia Police
Department.
That is the standard
procedure for inter-agency investigations.
The responsibility ultimately rests with
Sheriff Gary Edwards. It's up to him to
bring in an outside agency if such help is
needed. Perhaps
Sheriff
Edwards
thought that his department was skilled
enough to handle the case in a
responsible manner or perhaps he thought
that if there were any truth to Ingram's
claims, it would be in the department's
best interest to keep a lid on it
Whatever the Sheriffs reasoning, he
committed hundreds of thousands of tax
dollars and man hours to a fruitless
endeavor.
The only positive result of the
investigation, as far as the Sheriffs
Department is concerned, is the
conviction of Paul Ingram. But the
Department was lucky that he pled guilty.
If Paul had maintained his innocence, the
charges against him would probably have
been dropped as well.
Now that little bit of luck has run out.
Paul Ingram claims that he was coerced
into his confessions by his pastor. He
says that the intense religious pressure
placed upon him by Jon Bratun caused
him to have the dreamlike memories that
he told to detectives.
Next week, in an exclusive interview
with Paul Ingram from his prison in
New England, he will answer to the
charges against him, and discuss his
exorcism which took place in the
Thurston County Sheriffs office.

Java Junkies: what's brewing on campus
by Peter Ivey
Let's face it, one does not need a
keen sense of observation to see that the
majority of the Evergreen community, at
any given moment, is fueled by that
precious chemical reaction from caffeine.
We enjoy coffee, we savor espresso, we
are Java junkies.
The student-run collective, Java
Junkies, was born from such an
observation. However, the six-member
collective (now eight) who created Java
Junkies had more in mind that just
pushing the addiction~we wanted to
create an atmosphere on campus around
pleasure derived from espresso. Not the
caffeine high, the socialization that is
inherent when around espresso~in short,
a cafe. What better place for a student
cafe than the Community Center? This is
the one place on campus where students
can make a comfortable place for
themselves. Considering it comes with
couches, chairs, tables, and yes, even a
television, the Community Center is the
ideal place to talk with friends, study, or
just get out of the house, especially if
there is good espresso being served.
What makes the Java Junkies so
unique is that we're a student-run
collective, meaning we're a nonprofit
organization. We are not affiliated with
food service in any way. We are a group
of students who make a decision by a
consensus process. This eliminates the
hierarchical structure prevalent in most
forms of business. Being a collective
gives everyone an equal say in the dayto-day running of the espresso cart. The
goal of the collective is to serve quality
espresso at a low price. We also buy
from local merchants, thus supporting the
community. We recycle all our glass, tin
and cardboard, as well as our coffee
grounds. The long range goal of the
collective, after all debts on the cart and
the machine are paid, is to give back to
the students. This could be done in
several ways. For example, lowering
prices across the board or improving the
building space with the moneys
generated by the cart. Like I said, this is
a long-range goal.
It was the idea from the beginning
that the Java Junkies collective would, in
effect, be created by the community.
We've built our collective from the ideas
of other students. Examples include
soymilk drinks, a 15-cent discount for

bringing your own mug, and a twentyfive cent first refill on coffee. Java
Junkies was created by students for
students.
If Java Junkies lives for students, then
it goes without saying, Java Junkies will
die without students. From the beginning,
the collective was confident that an
espresso cart in the Community Center
would take off and a cafe-type
atmosphere would be created. A noble
idea but, the cart has not taken off as we
anticipated and the runway is quickly
coming to its end. The cart does have
regular clientele, which we would like to
expand. And with open mic on Sunday
night and WashPIRG's Toxic Table on
Wednesday night there is a hint of
atmosphere. Yet, it is not enough to
warrant the cart being a permanent
addition to the Community Center.
Java Junkies worked hand in hand

by Paul Slusher
This year, when the "conflict in the
Gulf was in full gear, we saw an
unprecedented, almost instantaneous
emergence of activism. Within weeks,
sometimes days of each other, huge
crowds nationwide were protesting the
U.S. war on Iraq.
A very important lesson to be
learned from this experience is that
activism and unity, no matter how much
the corporate media wants to ignore it,
has an effect. This was visibly true due
to the enormous "under-coverage" of
anti-war events. Obviously the rapid
emergence of such a large anti-war
movement scared some folks.
Such an effect is especially true of
the recent (late 1900's) activist
accomplishments
of
the
African
American, the Women, and the Gay and
Lesbian movements.
However, nothing can be achieved
without the existence of some very
crucial elements.
The first being
understanding, which must come from
communication.
The second then
naturally is unity. Unity cannot exist
without an understanding of the issue(s),
and our commonality in relation to these
issues.
Now that the war is over George
Bush is wooing the public once again,

(People of Color In Defense of F-Lot).
Storm night goggles and have all-night
vigils hidden in the trees ready to beat
up...er I mean identify any and all the
vandals and burglars.
It would be a whole lot simpler
though if someone with a little more
authority than the POCIDOFL would
drive through the parking lots more
often. I think it would make us rest
easier knowing that someone is keeping
an eye on things in light of the recent
crime wave.
I'm not only directing this to
Security, but the Evergreen campus in
general. Be aware of suspicious people
with sledgehammers and such. For $54,
something must be done.

TESC student confounded
by Mike Mooney
Why is it that this school makes
such an effort to confound its students,
or more importantly, potential students?
Specifically, I am referring to the choice
of changing the name of the Humanities
section in the 1992-93 TESC catalogue
to "Knowledge and the Human
Condition." Whose decision was this?
And why? Any potential student who is
investigating Evergreen will be confused
enough by our jargon like Core Program

Junkies collective want to continue
serving you and to do so we need your
support. We are continually adding
elements to our service that will benefit
the student, such as happy hour every
weekday from 3 to 4 pm with 30 cents
off all espresso drinks. We are also
experimenting with delivery to all dorms
on Sundays (a most triumphant success
last Sunday). We, the Java Junkies, offer
you an alternative to big business; a
collective-run establishment meeting the
needs of students. So come cop a squat
and support a student collective while
sipping espresso. We're open Monday
through Fri 8 am to 11 am and 3 pm to
11 pm, Sunday from 10:30 am to 2 pm
and 4:30 pm to 11 pm.

Student group exposition to be held

More F-lot security needed
by Dante Salvatierra
Where was Security when at least
nine cars were being broken into and
vandalized last week in parking lots
across campus? Were they in Oakland at
the Dead Show? Were they in Australia
teaching science fiction? Were they in
the Yard Birds
sporting
goods
department shopping for ammunition?
In September many of us forked
down $54 to permit ourselves to park
our vehicles in a space in-between two
white lines for a year. Fifty-four dollars?
That's 79 pounds of bananas at Safeway!
For that much money one would
expect some kind of service besides the
space in-between two white lines and the
occasional jump start.
We could start some kind of group
with a neat little acronym. POCIDOFL

with Housing to get the espresso cart in
the Community Center. In fact, Housing,
on an experimental basis, fronted the
money needed for the cart and the
machine. The cart has to prove itself over
a period of time~if the cart does well
(Housing asks only that we break even),
Housing will be all too happy to make it
a permanent addition to the Community
Center. However, if the cart fails to
break even, Housing will be unable to
fund the cart. Pretty damn fair if vou ask
me. As confident as we were that Java
Junkies was going to do well, we are
faced with the fact that it really isn't
doing as well as we or Housing would
like. Because of this, the chances of the
espresso cart staying in the Community
Center is shaky at this time.
The purpose for this writing is to let
everyone know exactly who we are and
where we stand. The students in the Java

and Coordinated Study, not to mention
catchy (kitschy) program titles like,
"Good Fences Make Good Neighbors:
The unknowing of Mexico" (90-91
catalogue). I would think we want to
make ourselves as clear as possible.
This isn't happening. Drop "Knowledge
and the Human Condition"~keep
"Humanities." More importantly, keep
it simple.

long enough to know.

and with the vacuum of an issueless
population, Evergreen has returned to its
rather docile atmosphere.
However, I would like to remind
you that here at Evergreen there exists
many groups that are working, and have
been working to educate and unify.
For this reason I invite...no, I urge
any and all interested students to attend
the upcoming Student Group Fair. The
event, which will take place from 10 am
to 2 pm on Wednesday, November 20,
will allow the Evergreen students to see,
first hand, what groups exist at
Evergreen and what they are doing.
The groups, far too numerous to list
by name (approximately 14), will each
have a table in the CAB building during
the aforesaid time, at which there will be
a representative from that group and

possibly literature as well.
What this represents to me is that
the straggle to become aware and to
create unity continues, even out here in
the woodlands of Olympia.
Evergreen has developed a reputation
nationwide for being very active (in short
spurts) and alternative.
This is a
reputation that, quite simply, makes me
proud to go to Evergreen.
However,
apathy and indifference can and does
affect huge portions of our North
American society.
For this reason,
becoming involved in the process of
awareness, growth and change is of the
utmost importance. So get involved, and
make something happen.

What is Governance?
by Dan Arnold
First off, let's address everyone's
first question whenever governance is
mentioned,
namely:
"What
is
governance?" Governance is one of those
things that is an important part of living
with
all
of
Evergreen's
little
idiosyncrasies and of making this unique
educational
system
work.
More
specifically, it is the process in which
students are given the right to make
some decisions about what happens on
this campus. Ideally, governance would
happen every Wednesday at 3 pm, when
no one has a scheduled class (the very
fact that the whole campus stops for
governance should give you some idea
how integral it was meant to be). All the
interested students would meet to discuss
such issues as the hemp support network
and campus recycling, ultimately to
provide the student body with channels
for action and change both on and off
campus. Realistically, NO ONE COMES!
Literally everyone is a part of this
process, but far less that 1/30 (100
students) and sometimes less than 1/300
(10 students) of the student body shows

Response
Security is
here to help
I enjoy letters of response in the
CPJ. Sometimes the articles make a lot
of sense, and other times they appear as
though they were written while in a state
of euphoria. The article in the November
7 issue written by Melissa Schomaker is
one of the latter.
Security provides several public
services for the community such as
escorts, jumpstarts, vehicle entries, room
entries and life-threatening emergency
notifications. The first nine months of
1991 we performed over 2000 such
services, and we average over 50

up (almost none of them on a regular
basis). WHY?
Besides the reasons that a) no one
knows about it and b) no concrete
meeting place is known to S and A
(Student Activities to the uninitiated),
much less the unwashed masses, the lack
of attendance can be attributed to the
ridiculously apathetic state of Evergreen's
"politically concerned" inhabitants. For a
campus that has in the past (however
distant) been known for its concern with
important issues and its innovative
thinking, this school shows surprisingly
little interest in the issues closest to
home, such as what goes on on this
campus.
Is this news (if it is news) upsetting?
DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT! Put
down that beer and go to governance on
Wednesdays. Prove to some people (like
yourself that there's more to Evergreen
and the education you're receiving than
guzzling brews and reading Carlos
Castaneda books.
Dan Arnold wants to see students
involved in governance.

jumpstarts per month. Jumpstarts and
vehicle entries are usually performed as
an emergency service and I find this less
than an emergency. We were being
asked to provide you assistance for
purely personal satisfaction.
Next time, I suggest you call
Westside Towing who I guarantee will
not be in the lot before you are. If it's
daytime, the charge will be $24.50,
nighttime charge is $30.00 and we can
use the officer's time for someone who
appreciates an emergency service quickly.

The facts about
Antler House
As many people have already heard,
there was an incident in A-dorm on
October 31 in which one person was
hurt and had to go to the hospital and
another was sent to jail. With all
incidents of this magnitude, rumors tend
to circulate very quickly, and, in being
churned through the rumor mill, often
become distorted and blown far out of
proportion. The nature of this incident
illustrates this point very well. One of
the rumors resulting from this incident is
that it was racially motivated and that
the person involved, a member of an
informal association known as Antler
House, attacked the other person for
purely racial reasons. Another aspect of
this rumor is that the Antler House itself
is sexist, racist and confrontational. The
rumor has even gone so far as to suggest
that Antler House is a satanic cult. It is
time to set the facts straight.
Antler House is not sexist; nor is it
racist; nor is it confrontational; and,
finally, it is not a satanic cult of some
sort. Antler House is an informal
association of men and women,
heterosexual and homosexual, of many
races, including Euro-american, Native
American, and Afro-american, and of
many political beliefs. Discrimination of
any sort is not looked upon kindly
among any of the "Antlers." Antlers, as
a general rule, also tend to avoid
physical confrontation.
But what about last week's
incident?, you may ask. Well, first of all,
lets set the facts straight there, too. First
of all, as was reported, the incident
stemmed from an argument. The
argument, according to witnesses, may
have stemmed from the injured
individual's accusals of racism and
sexism against Daniel McClusky. It
seems to me that anyone who was
accused of racism or sexism when they
are neither racist nor sexist (as those
who know Dan see him) would be
angry; such was most likely the case
with Dan. As the CPJ further reported,
a shoving match ensued which resulted
in one person being injured and another
going to jail. Mr. McClusky did not pull
out the bottle, though, as was reported
by the CPJ. He had been carrying it all
night, as it was part of his Halloween
costume. Another misrepresentation was
that Dan was charged with First Degree
Assault (assault with a deadly weapon);
Dan was charged with simple assault.
Also not reported by the CPJ was the
fact that both of the parties were reported
to be intoxicated. The rest of the details
are still being looked into by the police.
This was an unfortunate incident, but it

Antler House

More on Antler
House
We're writing in response to
complaints received by housing, the
college
administration
and
other
authorities concerning unsubstantiated
claims of racism, sexism, and other
hateful actions leveled against Antler
House.
Why? Antler House is a group of
friends who thought it would be funny to
call themselves Antler House. It's a
joke.
It's not a racist organization.
Antler House has no initiation rites, there
are no requirements to become an
"Antler." We have no "leaders" and no
one Antler knows who all the other
Antlers are. If anything, we may be the
most politically and culturally diverse
circle of friends on campus.
Unlike the official organizations we
do not care what someone's race, gender,
political beliefs or sexual preference may
be. We do not presume to represent any
one combination of the above. There are
female and male Antlers, Antlers of at
least four different races, Socialist
Antlers, Republican Antlers, and Antlers
who just plain don't care. Some Antlers
want to save the trees and some want to
pave the rain forests. Take your pick.
Yes, Antler House has parties (and
even t-shirts) but these are part of the
joke. Antlers don't all smoke, and we
don't all drink beer. In fact not all
Antlers like parties; imagine that. Most
people who bother to spend any time
with us grow to be our friends. We are
shocked and hurt by the rumors flying
around that we are racist.
Please don't confuse our honest
questions about the hypocrisy of the
Evergreen student body with the actions
of some "hate organization."
Please
don't confuse an alcohol induced
accident with a deliberate attack. Antler
House is simply a group of friends who
watch movies together, drink together,
watch Star Trek together, etc. We are

Anti-vote writer
misunderstood
The Marquis de Sade used to like to
say of his critics, "They appear never to
read a word of my writing." I could say
the same of Ray Goforth's virulent
personal attack on me (ostensibly a
"response" to my article about voting and
the electoral system) which appeared in
the Nov. 7 CPJ. I will not bother to
address the points he makes in that
response here, except to say that if he
had bothered to read past the headline of
my article, he would realize that he said
much the same thing I did.
What I would like to address here
are the allegations made about myself
and my supposed political apathy. Mr.
Goforth. apparently still stinging because
I accused him of not fully researching
his review of The Anarchist Cookbook,
saw fit to compare me with cartoon
characters who could care less about the
oncoming end of the world as long as
they could keep their walkmans and
VCRs. He also seems to assume that
since I disagree with the goals of
oppressed people fighting and dying in
certain parts of the world, I must want
them dead. Finally he implies that I am
in no way "involved" in dissent against
the government, even in as much as he
considers "creating art and literature" to
be "involvement." I leave those who
have read my various writings to judge
that one for themselves.
As for the rest of it, I have been
actively dissenting against the U.S.
government (and all others) ever since
1987, when I first attended a march on
Washington in favor of human rights in
Central and South America. I have been
beaten up and frequently verbally abused
for my beliefs and sexuality. I have
never been one to consider a donation to
some organization enough to "make your
voice heard," nor do I consider the ballot
box any champion of freedom. I take
my activism into the real world. To date
I have attended several rallies and demos
(two of which the media later chose to
label "riots"), attended three continental
anarchist gatherings (one of which I
helped organize), been a member of
three separate anarchist collectives,
volunteered time at a soup kitchen
organized by squatters in new York
City's lower East side, published a 'zine
(Chaotic World News and Olds), worked
on another (Homocore, which was
produced by my ex-boyfriend, Tom
Jennings), produced a radio show for
KAOS in which I aired (and continue to
air) alternative viewpoints and music,
created and distributed a large number of
political flyers, maintained many contacts
in the alternative press and anarchist
scenes, and have studied political science
and feminist theory in an effort to
educate myself so that my agitation can
be more effective. Phew! Where do I
find time to write video reviews?? Or
develop enemies, for that matter? For
those of your with a score card, I have
never been arrested. For this reason, as
well as my desire for self-preservation, I
will not discuss here my more extreme
forms of activism.
I should not have to defend myself
against such charges (after all, I'm not
running for office), indeed, I suspect that
if Mr. Goforth had been published in
something more serious than the CPJ, he
and the paper would be in line for a libel
suit Mr. Goforth has never met me, nor
is there any evidence that he is familiar
with anything I have ever done outside of
the CPJ. Since I have never spoken
about my life in the CPJ, there is no

logical way he could have any
information to back up his charges. He
was ticked off and felt like saying nasty
things about me. I don't know why he
felt the need to turn a criticism of my
position on one issue into a broadlybased personal attack. Possibly, like me,
he has been encouraged by certain
members of the staff to pursue a literary
vendetta in order to encourage more
readers (Les? Is that a breach of the
Social Contract?)
"I've got mine, fuck you?" I don't
remember ever saying that, Ray, maybe
you're attacking me out of fear someone
will criticize your attitude-which to read
in the Seepage, is pretty self-righteous. I
don't know, though, I've never met you.
I suspect we'd get along pretty well, if
you could get over your petty
disagreements with my position. Sorry if
anything in this or other articles hurts
your feelings, but I'm smarting too, now.
Normally I take criticism pretty well,
when it's a considered analysis of my
position, and not an attempt to smear me.
Next time you disagree with somebody,
try to recognize that they are not their
position, and stick to constructive
criticism, OK?
Mike Grutchfield

People of Color
continues
I would like to express my opinion
to the reasoning behind the term "People
of Color." People do not like segregation
even if this is in name only. People do
not like being called names and any
name that separates by race, gender,
creed, or sexual preference hurts the
person it chooses to isolate.
"People of Color" creates an "us and
them" situation that defines who is
"different" from the status quo. This term
goes beyond racism. The ruling class
who deems this term as politically
correct puts people of their own race
(i.e. Hispanics, Hindu) into this category.
The word to better define this problem is
ethnocentricity.
In our society, why do we buy into
the institution in which we need to
identify people by their differences?
Institutional racism hurts. Reverse racism
hurts. Finding another label for this
problem is no more helpful than a
bandage on a bruise.
Solutions to segregation are not easy
but communicating to one another is a
beginning. Quoting from the Socratic
teachings of Mary Ellen Hillaire, "Look
at the significant differences, find the
similarities within and then dialogue can
begin."
While at the Gathering of All Tribes
III sponsored by the Nambe Pueblo
people in New Mexico, we discussed an
affirmation that has helped me to look at
solutions within myself. It is as follows:
We as a people, united together,
knowing our ancestors and knowing who
we are no longer accept the following
labels as acceptable: third world nations,
peasants, working class, or people of
color (choose your own label). In the
knowledge or our reality, we have
survived as a people. With this
knowledge of the past and present reality
of being American, this culture of many
cultures, we will build on these
foundations to strengthen the next seven
generations.
Don't label me by my skin or by
my sex or the job you'd like me to do
for you. See me for who I am, not who
you want me to be. Being politically
correct also means to seek correct action
within yourself, constantly searching for
clarity in the meaning behind your
actions.

New Pixies not the grinding punk of yesteryear
by Lei la ni Johnson
THE PIXIES
"TROMPE LE MONDE" (CD)
ELEKTRA RECORDS

Trompe Le Monde, following hard on
the heels of Bossanova, is an album I
listened to over and over again, trying to
find something good to say about it. I'm
just not very impressed by this punk rock
band's recent stylistic change; their first
albums were so good, what happened?
While I don't agree with Nils Bernstein
of The Rocket who called this album "a
ripping return to form." I have to say that
the record gives hope, especially after
how disappointing Bossanova was. Songs
like "U-mass" and "Motorway to Roswell"
carry memories of the good ol' days, and
tend to balance out the crap in the other
songs.
"U-Mass," reminiscent of the earlier

rebellious Pixies, with the lyrics "We're
not just kids, to say the least/we got ideas
to us that's dear/like capitalist, like
communist/like lots of things you've
heard about/and redneckers they get us
pissed/and stupid stuff it makes us shout,"
was perhaps written as the unofficial
school song for the University of
Massachusetts, but another college readily
comes to mind.
"Motorway to Roswell" is also
destined to become a classic. Steady,
melodic guitar riffs, coupled with Black
Francis' slowed down ache of a voice,
produce a lyrically beautiful song. It's no
"Wave of Mutilation," but it's pretty darn
close.
Trompe Le Monde's concurrent
instrumental chaos and rhymed sing-along
lyrics lack the finesse found on previous
albums. Joey Santiago sprays almost
everything with noise, having apparently
decided he doesn't want to be a "real"

guitarist after all, and Black Francis has
lost his identity, sounding successively
like the Violent Femmes, The Stone
Roses, and the girl in The Exorcist. I can
only surmise that his voice has "gone
away on a holiday," as he so
appropriately sings. [Try "Bailey's Walk,"
from the Here Comes Your Man EP, for
a "gone," nay, downright laryngitic,
Francis vocal-ed.]
"Planet of Sound" is a good example
of the Pixies taking their normally
pleasing guitar squalor one step too far. I
overheard one person say about that song,
"How could they get it to sound so
horrible?
Guitars
are
beautiful
instruments." Hmmm...
Of the 15 tracks on this album only
a few are worth taping from a die-hard
Pixies aficionado who's probably already
bought the CD. While "Roswell", "UMass", "Distance Equals Rate Times
Time", "Space (I Believe In)," and the

cover of the Jesus and Mary Chain's
"Head On" are all worthy songs despite
their toned-down flavor, everything else
has a tendency to grate on the nerves like
nails down a chalkboard. Surfer Rosa,
Come On Pilgrim and Doolittle are worth
buying, but Trompe Le Monde is simply
not the quality punk the Pixies used to
grind out. Maybe their next album will be
better.

See Jello's dream world in Terminal City Ricochet
by Mike Grutchfield
Well OK, Terminal City Ricochet is
not available on video, it can be awful
hard to see, but it did just get shown in
Olympia and it certainly fits the genre
I've been reviewing this quarter, so what
the heck. I'll review it. It'll probably turn
up at a film festival again one of these
days, either downtown or at the Neptune.
I first saw TCR a year ago in San
Francisco, introduced, fittingly enough, by
one
of
its
stars,
Jello
Biafra
(vocalist/lyricist of the Dead Kennedys,
Lard, and Tumor Circus). Jello's role in
the film is relatively minor (number two
bad guy, the one who gets his hands
dirty), but his personality and his politics
permeate throughout. He explained TCR
as a sort of "A Clockwork Orange meets
Brazil parody, only more realistic because
it lacks the budget of those films." Which
is fair enough, although by my standards,
the budget of TCR was pretty big. They
could afford a Key Grip and everything.
It takes place in a world much like
Jello has warned us is coming. Rock
music is illegal, the world is a toxic
waste dump, the cops have total license,
and suspects have no rights. A neo-fascist
corporate "Boss" keeps getting re-elected,

and the only thing anyone eats is recycled
human waste ("in a variety of designer
colors!").
The situation is so bad that no one
has time to care about anyone but
themselves~the struggle to survive takes
their attention away from the world
situation. In spite of all this, the movie is
funny as hell, with running gags (like the
appliances raining down from the burntout space station), visual gags (protective
plastic placed over hedges) and ridiculous
dialogue ("I have...this problem with my
memory... I can never..." "Amnesia?"
"That's it! I can never remember that!").
It even contains its own cartoon.
The plot (ignorable) is about this kid
who sees the Boss (Ross Glimore) run
over somebody, and gets arrested in order
to be shut up. The Boss gets the idea of
making the kid (who used to be into
rock, before it was banned), into a
"rock'n'roll terrorist," then blaming him

and his few co-conspirators for all of the
problems facing Terminal City. The
Revolutionaries kidnap Glimore's son, and
in so doing ensure him re-election.
Glimore's plans are endangered when the
hit squad sent out to do the terrorists in
gets totalled by falling space junk.
Tempted though I am, I won't give away
the ending (it's a bit preachy, but wellintentioned).
This is a punk-rock film all the way.
The soundtrack includes such notables as
DOA, Nomeansno (both of whom later
cut albums with Jello), the Beatnigs and
I, Braineater. In addition to Jello, quite a
few of the actors are real-life underground
scenesters (was that Winston Smith
playing hit man number one? Joey

Keighley as Officer Friendly?). The tag
end of the movie is essentially a DOA
video, one of the best music vids I've
ever seen for a punk song.
In spite of the punk imagery, TCR is
not limited in its appeal. Everyone should
see this once, and those with any concern
for the state of the world will enjoy
themselves (the rest need to see it for
"deprogramming" purposes, but how will
we get Them into the theater? Maybe we
could tell them it's a shower...). Watch
out, though; this movie will make you
think. Even as you are being entertained,
you might even learn something.
Mike Grutchfield wants someone else
to think of a tag line.

"Transnational Perspectives offers
political analysis of the major trends in
the world society and provides policy
suggestions so that common interests may
be more easily found. Transnational
Perspectives assumes that the deeper
currents
of
political
and
social
transformation are not confined within a

national
frontier but
are
transnational....thus the title of the journal."
Big, bold and beautiful. The politics are
progressive. The writing is thorough and
enjoyable.

This issue opens up with an article
about how and why Julie Summers lives
on $600 a year. She writes in a
lighthearted and informative style. Several
poems follow. There's another article on
natural hair care, some book/magazine
reviews and a few parting essays.
Strangely satisfying.

story is about the Jesuit priests murdered
by government security forces and how
the investigation is being obstructed.
Interviews with Eduardo Calles and
Guillermo Ungo follow, both giving their
analysis of current events. There's an
article about FMLN human rights workers
being assassinated and a bit about how
international events are effecting the
movement. Is socialism dead, etc.
Venceremos ends with an interview of
Comandante Facundo Guardado.
It
follows his ideas about the latest
offensive, prospects for military victory
and the continuing evolution of the
FMLN as a political force.
Anyone with a moderate command of
the Spanish language and an interest in El
Salvador
would
undoubtably
find
Venceremos to be a valuable resource.
Unfortunately,
there
aren't
any
subscription instructions. It's probably
worth the chance of losing a couple of
dollars to send the money to their Costa
Rica address and see what happens. Drop
me a note and let me know.

At the risk of oversimplifying things,
the Farabundo Marti National Liberation
Front
(FMLN)
is
the
synthesis
organization of several armed and
unarmed groups struggling for social
change in El Salvador.
Their basic goals are the abolition of
the army replacing it with public security
forces, trials for those accused of human
rights violations, land reform, a mixed
private/public economy, installation of
social services (food, health care,
education,
housing),
environmental
restoration, and a new constitution
guaranteeing the freedoms of speech,
press, assembly and an independent
judiciary.
Venceremos is an official paper of the
FMLN. My Spanish is limited but I'll do
my best to review the contents. The cover

No Exit is a powerful drama of confrontation
by Tim Johnson
No Exrr
A PLAY BY JEAN-PAUL SARTRE
STUDIO 321, NOVEMBER 16-17, NOVEMBER
22-23

"Hell is other people," says the
character Joseph Garcin in a moment of
revelation. In No Exit, Hell is like a hotel
lobby-no torture racks, but no nice
mirrors either-with three inhabitants who
hate each other: a lesbian, a coward and
a nymphomaniac debutante. They have all

been damned to this place by enjoying
life at the cruel expense of others--the
effects of which they can watch fade
away on earth from an omniscient
perspective they have. Now in a room for
eternity, in a life with no breaks, they
realize that they have engineered their
own Hell. Having arrived, "Let's get on
with it!" as Garcin says. But what is there
to get on with?
They cannot avoid what must
inevitably occur: a horrifying discovery of
their own impotence in being able to
change who they have become, what they

really are at the core. Trying to save
themselves two at a time, at the expense
of the one left out, is to no avail. One at
a time, they end up in miserable heaps,
emotionally
overloaded,
seething
ectoplasm ready to explode. This is
convenient for the audience: everyone can
take a piece home and think it over.
The play is produced, appropriately,
not in a theater, but in a multi-purpose
studio in the downtown industrial district.
The staging often puts the actors within
an uncomfortably close range of the
audience and this, along with the intense

performance,
produces
a
stifling,
constricted ambience. The walls were
closing in; I felt sympathy; halfway
through the play it seemed nobody-characters or audience-had a way out.
This is not light drama, but a passionate
investigation of the pathos and ethos of
life; a play of ideas, and very interesting
ideas at that.
No Exit, presented by Blackwash
Theatre, is a bargain at five dollars a
seat. Give it a try and see if you don't
come away examining your own
ontological philosophy.

What happened next is too horrible to
