SEEPAGE·· A collocation of "Random Angst :Radio"
SEEPAGE Is fI'M of
SOME DAY
I AM OBJECllVEI
Lying under a tree, head propped, feet in the air
thinking this is one of those days to remember.
My mind wonders as the sky puts on a show.
The clouds are actors performing fo.r below.
Mercury of salt, in salt deposlts waits to torn out:
Trenched inside walls of pit-rock,
Of red earth and wet grain,
Burled.
"Life is funny." chuckling, a smile come to my lips.
There are a gretJt many people who are missing this.
Bankers and lawyers running the race, working for one last deal
Caught up in the day to day, unable to hetJr, see, and feel.
I lay back and pray for hose missing God's gift
And off to another world I slowly drift·
A dream is a valuable tool, use it as such.
Aspirations ignite a soul, they're not a crutch.
A piercing tingle rudely tiwakens my muscleS and flesh .
I find myself at a screen filled with the letter Its ".
Forgetting to nudge my brain from under its slumber
I lift my head, leaving the spell I was under.
I stare out my window to see
A boy in the park lying under a tree.
Enjoying the beauty, and the warmth of the day,
I only wishi,ng to enjoy life that way.

The Poem that Saved The Universe
teU tale '
jwnpin' bail
about a cause
that washed a sea
that tossed a sandstorm loss,
and sea shells for the after-thought
a random guess about the mess
it seems it should be settled
A salve for the stinging nettle
Lent and Chrisunas have passed
for the 21st time
the unfound Easter eggs have all rotted
the cold Moses's beard
. has begat an empty cradle
footsteps in my mind
hey mister you got a dime
the other side of me
as you can plainly see
is dining in luxury
on stewed gounnet chimpanzee
over a far off sea
i sip the cheap wine
she eats a grape
if she remembers me
i can only speculate
she eats an expensive crepe.
Under Love
Pure. . oamnlt,
Suction pulls it to the surface, and a small sucking sound:
Anxious oxygen cools.
Freshly torn, obscure underneath hurricanes of dust
From the red ground.
Now that it Is up and above,
It rests on the Leaving Ground.
It looks like fire it tastes like rock it smells like road
INSENSITIVITY
to M.
Josh PUzer
Don't ask me how I think
of you
when the raindrops pound
out messages
as they spatter
on my
dust covered brain
or how as my bare feet
imprint a path
over the mud wet-plaster shore
the oil lines
on the water match
(
the wrinkles
your fingers caressed
into my face.
The mist is rolling off the water
like webs
Your Trap.
I am walking down the side of you
and the rain messages nin
in brown dribbles
down the side of me
and disappear in my footprints
before I understand them.
Don't ask me how I think
of you
as the trumpeting
beam of light
plays your shadow
against my smallness
as the lightning blares
and my heart drums
to the arches of
your body.
Whenever
your wave falls
the salt .
eats
at the volition in my bones.
Bedrow Earlyworm
and Joe Simon
The Beggar and the Fool
Passion has a cane and cup
and voice insistent
a streetcomer preacher
whose rattling upon starving ears
is ravenously devoured
Open Eyes in the middle of a kiss
cock the hammer
emphasizing the beauty
of an uncracked egg
and the sudden silence
of a myopiC cherub
The world warps, the Sinkhole
when the stomach becomes
a courtroom
a foolish commitment is made
to the blind
and heaven awards its
twisted chalice.
Convincing arguments
that Luther's hierarchy exists-palm sweat and apologetic smiles
keep us teetering
on porcelain stilts
reeking actions boil over
beneath us.
Regret is a merciless taskmaster,
amorphous between "friends".

THIS WEEKS MYTHOLOGICAL SOJOURN
It was Autumn. but that was not the reason
As Greek and Roman myths seem to be the most well
known, and ~ith my woefully limited knowledge of Hindu
mythologies (of which I would be excited to learn), I
am relegated this week to convey some Norse myth.
.
Od~n (or Wodin, from which we derive Wednesday,
~.e. Wod~n's Day) was the prime god, corresponding
roughly to Zeus/Jupiter in Greek/Roman myths. Odin was
the Raven God who sat in his high tower and oversaw the
world of men, Midgard. He had one eye, for in his ever
seeking quest for wisdom he had given one of his eyes
to Mimir, a Jotun.
The Jotuns were a rough race of troll
- like beings relegated to the icy wastelands of Jotenheim .
But Mimir was wise and gentle. He had a magic brew which
conveyed upon the drinker great wisdom and Odin, seeing
this, approach~d Mimir and made the trade: a draught of
the brew for his eye . Afterward Mimir sawall things when
he looked into Odin's eye and Odin was the wisest of the gods.

It was Autumn. but that was not the reason
why their emergence carried the weight
of a hundred smoke filled days. The season.
. as always. filled the air with whiffs of late
blooming lilacs and proud sunsets. but It was
a humbling picture-This Autumn's pride. They
emerged now only In dusk's cool air, though not because
they resented the songs which marked the day;
The night brought needed memories of retumlng sun:
They had successfully sacrificed many Summers before.
And as their sun sank. sitting together as one
they both silently thought. If nature does abhor
a vacuum, what Is to become of nature when
next Autumn. we do not together emerge again.
Jean-Paul
by Betty Schaefer
I was sitting in my downtown home
reading my mail on Thursday, May 23,
when I began to hear a droning noise,
that sounded like an · airplane overhead.
When the noise did not fade away, but
rather grew louder, it was not long before
I correctly guessed/feared that my
neighborhood was being invaded by a lot
of logging trucks. My fear was confirmed .
as I jogged to Sylvester Park and found
the streets overrun by huge ttactor-trailers
adorned with yellow ribbons of solidarity.
My fear was justified when I encountered
thousands of angry "timber products
industry"-workers in the park and speaker
after speaker · Inciting the crowd with
hateful rhetoric and declaring war on
environmentalists, of which I am one.
As a , woman in a misogynistic
society- I am accustomed to living daily
in a subtly fixed hostile aunosphere. But
to stand and listen to this overt hatred
directed at me and my kind left me
rather shaken. It was not until I visited
the last hour of the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife hearings being conducted at the
Washington Center nearby that my
tension eased--the proceedings were much
more civilized as those testifying made
an effort to present their views politely.
I was very disappointed that I arrived
too
late · to
testify.
Of · those
"environmentalists" I heard - speak, only
Dave McNett of Black Hills Audubon
Society seemed to come close to
expressing the essential idea that it is not
a matter or preserving the forest to
save the northern spotted owl, but
rather a matter . of preserving tbe
northern spotted owl to save the forest.
Superficial media covemge on all
sides of this issue obscures more than it
illwninates. One hears the term "indicator
species" constantly with no clear
explanation as to its significance. Left to
imagine what this might mean, I came up
with the idea that there are simply too
many endangered species to keep ttack
of, so just a few are monitored to
of
"indicate"
the
general
level
endangennent .to all · species. This is
somewhat correct, but comes . nowhere
near expressing the importance of the
concept of "indicator species."
The presence of an indicator species
indicates the health of the very
ecosystem. In the case of the owl, its
presence indicates the presence of mice,
squirrels, chipmunks, and voles, which it
eats. These small mammals play an
indispensable role in maintaining the
health of the coastal forests: They feed
on mycorhizal fungi and spread the
spores around the forest in · their
droppings. Mycorhizal fungi infect the
roots of the trees, helping them to absorb
nutrients from the soil. It has been shown
in the Siskiyou National Forest that
Douglas fir seedlings deprived of
myc,orhizae die within two years of
planting.

Timber industry families gathered at Sylvester Park. photos by Betty Schaefer.
The owl's position .in the food chain
is what makes it an effective indicator
species for the health of the ancient
forests of the Pacific coast A decline in·'
the population of the small-mammaleating owl indicates a decline in the
population of the mycorhizae-eating small
mammals indicates a decline in the treenourishing ·mycorhizal fungi indicates a
decline in the health of the trees
themselves. Once again, the issue is
saving the ancient forest ecosystem, not
saving the northern spotted owl or any
other single species.
With our society suffering from a
predominant world view where in
intricate, interdependent life is seen as
some kind of inconsequential collection
of unconnected elements, it is not
surprising that people do not grasp the
complexity of environmental and societal
problems and wish to point to simple
"answers" to complicated issues, i.e. thc
timber industry workers in Sylvester Park
singling out "environmentalists" as the
cause of all their problems. That's much
easier than acknowledging and grappling
with the difficult economic, social,
political, ecologiCal, and biological issues
involved.
Unfortunately, any efforts that are
not aimed at the real roots of a problem
are wasted efforts. For example, it is
unlikely
that
sending
all
the
"environmentalists" back to California
"where they came from," as suggested by
Mike Dmper of the Western Council of
IndUStrial Workers, will solve the logging
community's problems for very long. I
fmd the whole thing analogous to the
abortion rights issue where people try to
ban abortion as if it is not connected to
anything else in society, and simply place
all the blame on women seeking
abortions because it is so much easier
than trying to understand the complex
societal factors that create a need for
abortions.
My ideas about the loss of timber
industry jobs have shown some
progression as. I have tried to escape
from the us versus them mentality. I used
to think that the timber workers were
unreasonable to expect the unnatural
preservation of their declining industry.
After all, I thought, what about all the
horseshoers who became extinct with the
advent of the automobile or typewriter
repainnen who are unemployed in this
computer age? The demonstrators on
Thursday showed me the flaw in this
thinking: Timber products are not
obsolete. I cannot argue when they say
that I need their products. But when I see
full page advertising for things that
nobody needs and too much packaging
and stupid knick-knacks, I know that we
definitely do not need so mucb of these
products.
With so many pressing problems in
this world, it is a ttagedy that anyone is
without meaningful work. I won4er who
thinks their interest is 'served by keeping
loggers and environmentalists at each
others' throats when instead of wasting
energy fighting we could work together
to create a society where all people's
work is valued and life-affuming. Slower,
less "efficient," less destructive methods
of production would employ more people,
and spare the earth.
If human beings can be said to have
a special something that places them in a
class apart from the other life forms, it is
an ability to adapt that is unparalleled by
any other species. We can change the
way we live; the plants and other animals
are much less flexible. It seems that very
often we humans cite this "superiority" as
justification
for
violence
and
destructiveness, mther than acknowledging
the potential it provides for us to live
peacefully together.

Why should you write? ACcording to
Catherine Caufield, in an article
appearing in the 5/14/90 issue of The
New Yorker:
~-Originally the Pacific forest covered
seventy thousand square miles. In the
United . States, less than ten percent
survives.
--This forest is home to greater mass of
life than even the tropical rain forests. It
is crucial to the stability of the region's
and the world's climate: it causes up to
a third of the local precipitation, and it
stores more carbon than any other
terrestrial ecosystem.
--To survive, forest · streams must flow
through corridors of living trees and must
contain a certain amount of wood...These
accumulations of wood create the plunge
pools, side channels, and gravel beds that
are important fISh habitats.
--Slash burning after clear-cutting is a
significant contri):mtOr to air pollution in
Oregon and Washington.
--Logging roads alone, let alone clearcutting, cause significant damage to
streams and are inherently destabilizing to
mountainsides.
--The main reason for the decline in
timber jobs is automation of the timber
industry, though management fosters the
notion among workers that job losses are
due to the efforts of environmentalists to
"lock up the forests."

Child protection
bill passes
OLYMPIA--Gov. Booth Gardner
signed legislation that strengthens current
penalties and establishes new ones for
employers who violate state child labor
laws.
Senate
Bill
5558
gives
the
Department of Labor & Industries (L&I)
the authority to impose tough civil and
criminal penalties on employers whose
actions put child employees at risk.
Under the new law, employer
violations that result in the death or
pennanent disability of a child will be
.guilty of a class C felony, strengthened
from the previous level of misdemeanor.
An employer who knowingly or
recklessly violates child labor law will be
guilty of a gross misdemeanor.
"Our state places a high value on the
wen-being of children, and now we're
extending that concern 10 the workplace,"
Gardner said. "This legislation puts much-

needed teeth into our child labor laws."
Gardner usod his veto authority to
further strengthen the legislation by
eliminating a section of the bill that
might have repealed regulations on the
hours worked by 16- and 17-year-olds,
and on meal and rest breaks for children.
This section of the bill would have
required that state rules governing the
employment of minors are consistent with
federal rules. Since federal rules do not
address hours worked by this age group
and meal and rest breaks, the state rules
may have had 10 be repealed.

proposal
by Tedd Kelleber
The S&A board has developed the
tier II budget proposal for the 1991-92
academic year (right). New groups
include the South Pacific Islander
Coalition, Men's Exploration Nexus
(MEN), Crimewatch (fonnally dependent
on Seemity for aU its funding), and
Mindscreen (a group that shows films).
Groups that had their funding request
denied include the Academic Common
Market (a group that wanted to works
towards eliminating , the difference
between out-of-state and in-state tuition),
An in Media (a group that wanted to
show artistic films), The Evergreen Free
Press, and Governance.
Students can voice their concerns
about the proposal during the final S&A
board meeting Wednesday, June 5 at 2:30
pm in CAB 112.
Tedd Kelleher is the weary editor of
the CPJ.
OLYMPIA--As
of press
time
Olympia's open space initiative is 230
votes short of reaching the 60% yes vote
needed for passage. If just over five
people per district had voted yes, the
initiative would be passing. Initiative
supporter Jennette Hawkins says that if
the initiative doesn't pass, it will likely
be put on the ballot during the fall
elections.

YAKIMA--The Tiinowit 17th Annual
International Pow-Wow. Benefit Concert
and Native American Fine Arts Show
will take place June 7-9. 1991 at the
Yakirna
SunDome.
The
Tiinowit
Committee would like to extend a special
invitation to college students in the State
of Washington this year: Please come
join our celebration!
The Tiinowit Pow-Wow is · a
traditional gathering of Indian people.
Each year hundreds of Indian dancers and
drummers
from
throughout
North
America compete for prize money and
for the honor of being recognized as the
best in their chosen field of performance.
The
pow-wow
is
held
to
commemorate the signing of the Treaty
of 1855. to preserve and promote the
Yakirna Indian culture and to share the
Yakirna tradition with non-Indians. In the
Yakima language. "Tiioowit" means "the
Indian way." Tiinowit is a non-profit
cultural organization.
The Tiinowit celebration has grown
rapidly over the years, and is now one of
the largest pow-wows in North America.
After 16 years near the town of White
Swan of the Yakima Reservation. the
event will move to the beautiful Yakima
SUnDome this year. The pow-pow
Committee has decided to actively invite
the general public to share the traditional
Yakima culture for the frrst time ever!
This is a rare opportunity to watch

Dance Company of New Zealand. The
wonderful dance and SUbtle harmonies of
Kahurangi bring to life the traditional
culture of the Maori People of New
Zealand. who are closely related to the
inhabitants of Hawaii and the Cook
Islands.
The benefit concert will also feature
the elderly Latino musician Lalo
Guerrero. The 73-year-old Lalo, who is
known as a "living legend," wrote the
music to Luis Valdez's hit play "Zoot
Suit" and composed several classic
Mexican standards induding "La Cancion

quicldy to the beat of the drum wearing
hundreds of colorful feathers.
The 1991 Pow-Wow will also include

Another addition this year is a gala
benefit concert on Friday June 7.
Every-one is
invited to share

Hezekiah became king of Judah in
701 B.C. and reigned as king for 29
years. He was 25 years old when he
became king. He followed a succession
of kings which were not good f<r Judah
or good for the people. He inherited a
kingdom which was plagued by deceit,
cultic practices. and disloyalty to the
king.
One of the first things which
Hezekiah did was to abolish the high

. poles and smash the bronze serpent that

Evergreen 'Rrecycling:
Making
'
a
difference
'
'
by Christopher Fondots
I'd like to open by congratulating
everyone in the Ev.ergreen community for
the fine job you've all done this year to
ensure that your waste has been recycled
rather than landfilled. The numbers for
what we are recycling annually have been
tabulated, and it is "-really quite
impressive. This information on the
contents of our waste stream has been
made available through the valiant efforts
of Glenn Duncan--our Campus Recycling
CoordinaLOr, and a host of volunteers
who helped him analyze eight dumpsters
worth of trash and mixed materials over
the past two years, LO understand exactly
what we are and are not recycling here at
TESC.
To begin, our campus community
discards something like 347 tons of
potentially recyclable material every year.
257 tons of this stuff is landfilled, while
approximately 90 LOns of it is recycled.
At our current rate we annually recover
for recycling 59 tons of paper, 16 tons of
cardboard, 13.6 tons of glass, and 1.2
tons of aluminum. Our data for tin and
plastics
is incomplete, but these

materials are becoming an increasingly
significant part of our collection program.
Based on this information, we are
recycling approximately 25.8% of the
recyclable port;ion of our waste stream, a
recovery rate that we should all be very
proud of. The flip side of this though is
that 74.2% of the potentially recyclable
material that we go through, is not being
recycled but tossed into campus
dumpsters for entombment in the Mason
COWlty LandfLlI. We still annually waste
103 LOns of paper, 70.5 tons of
compostable food scraps, 33 LOns of
cardboard, 30 tons of glass, 11.8 LOns of
tin and 8.4 LOns of aluminum.
Presently we are recycling about 60
tons of paper on campus a year, which
accounts for roughly 36% of all the paper
we dispose of annually. Recycling one
ton of paper eliminates the need to cut

the processing . of paper . from raw
material. The electricity saved was
equivalent to about 247,674 kWh, or
22,408 gallons of oil. This energy is
enough LO supply the power needs of 30
typical 5 room homes each consuming
8,400 kWh per year. This curbed the
release of carbon dioxide emissions by
202 ·tons. In addition we save about 195
cubic yards in landfill space just by
recovering our paper.
Approximately
15.9
tons
of
corrugated cardboard are being recycled
annually, or about 32% of what we use.
Reusing these fibers alone spared 270
trees from needless death, eliminated the
need for the use and pollution of 111,160
gallons of water, and conserved at least
52 cubic yards of landfill space. The
energy saved was approximately 66,696
kWh of electricity or 6034 gallons of oil.
This is enough energy to power 8
additional homes a year, while keeping
54.5 tons of CO2 from being released
into the atmosphere.
Annually we recycle 13.6 tons of
glass bottles and jars, or 31% of what
we go through on campus. This Ims
saved 31,655 kWh of electricity that
would have been needed had raw
materials been used. This was enough LO
power 4 more homes for a year. We kept
an additional 25.8 tons of global warming
COl out of the air and preserved 8 LOns
of sand, 3 LOns of soda ash, 3 tons of
limestone, 1 ton of feldspar and
prevented the creation of 2.3 tons of
mining wastes produced during their
extraction.
We're recovering and recycling
about 1.2 tons of aluminum, or about
62,400 cans a year. This represents
12.5% of the aluminum waste that our
campus throws away annually, and
conserves approximately 31,200 kWh
every 12 months. The power saved
through the use of used aluminum cans
instead of raw bauxite ore, conserved
about 3120 gallons of heating oil; enough
energy to have supplied an additional 4
homes with their yearly power needs. In
addition, the recovery of our aluminum
kept 25 more tons of CO2 out of the
atmosphere than would have entered had
we not recycled this material.
.
What we have recovered for
rec~cling
has ' had
tremendous
envuonmental benefits. Most notably, the
large amounts of ,ener~ conserved
through the remanufacturmg of our
recyclables has helped keep out of ~e
atmosphere 307 tons of global warmmg
carbon dioxide produced from the
combustion of coal, oil, and natural gas
for electricity. Humanity has increased
the concentration of CO2 in Earth's
atmosphere by 25% in just the last 100
years. At this rate scientist are predicting
a global warming of 4-9 degrees
Fahrenheit by the year 2050. This
elevation in global mean temperature is
expected to accelerate polar ice cap
melting, which is predicted to raise sealevel world wide by a few feet This
will have disastrous effects on many of
the world's major cities and population
centers including Olympia and Seattle,
and promises to leave a great deal of
people hungry and homeless.
The total benefits of recycling just
our paper, cardboard, glass, and
aluminum are very impressive. Through
the collection of 896 LOns of secondary
material we saved 337,225 kWh of
electricity, enough energy to power 45
typical homes. This prevented the release
of an amazing 307 tons of carbon
dioxide, and let stand 1273 trees which
would have been needlessly consumed.
Thanks everybody for helping make a
difference!

recycling, please feel free to call Glenn

Woman captures alien on
by Chris Bader
The question th~ I most often hear
from people about UFOs is, "Where's the
proofl." After all if aliens really are
kidnapping people from their bedrooms,
why hasn't anyone thought of setting up
a video camera or tape recorder to
capture the little rascals?
Well a couple of weeks ago a
WashingLOn woman did just that. ...
Dolly is a retired military officer of
about
fifty-five
who
has
been
experiencing nightly visits from small
grey creatures and tall human-like entities
for the last couple of years. She has
memories of needles being poked into her
head, of being flown in a saucer shaped
craft and believes that the creatures are
training her to "operate missiles."
Dolly is quite frightened by her
encoWlters, but notes some beneficial side
effects--the aliens have helped her bad
back and painful arthritis.
While on a trip to Texas a couple of
weeks ago, howev.er, Dolly decided she'd
had enough.
She had driven her mOLOrhome LO
visit a friend, but the "aliens" followed.
Each night she stopped at a different
campgroWld and each night she noticed

UNDER THE

Long-billed leafblowers frequently
can be heard in areas on campus where
the habitat is dominated by sidewalks.
Their loud cries usually drown oUI. other
songs, frustrating early-morning birders
and annoying late sleepers.
A crane has been south of the CAB

sometimes can be seen moving nest

with the acUVlUes of brood raising as

Among the rarer Olympia species, the

It IS laudable that some conlributors
to the CPI are concerned with news and
events in latin America. It is unfortunate
that in some cases their reporting,
commentary, and editorial writing is so
poorly informed. In some cases the errors
are almost comical, while in other
instances the writers seem to ignore data
which might contradict their political
perspective or conclusions. Furthermore
these writers have a strong tendency to
see the problems and their sOiutions in
rather simplistic tenns, when in reality
most are extremely complex.
Two articles in the 16 May issue
demonstrate serious factual deficiencies in
understanding current conditions in Latin
America. In the "Analysis" section and
under the headline of "Bankers Cause of
Peru's Cholera Epidemic" Scot Wheat
wanders from the Gulf War, to Central
America, to Peru, and then on to
Nicaragua. The article's thesis as
indicated by its title is not adequately
developed nor demonstrated. Indeed in
some instances it rests on statements of
the most questionable veracity.
For instance, Wheat's statement that
"ABide from a short period of rebellion,
Peru has allowed its development to be
guided by the IMP structural adjustment
programs from 1977 to present" seriously
misleads the reader. The supposedly short
period of rebellion Wheat refers to must

Paul Slush«~s Forum piece "U.S.
Sending Green berets to Bolivia" is a
more rational effort But it suffers from
exaggerated statements of questionable
veracity-"The United States military
is ...primping us for yet another regional
war." The fact is that U.S. troops and
U.S. special agents have been in Bolivia
off and on for at least the last five years-the 56 troops he refers to do not
represent a new phenomena and scarcely
qualify as a troop build-Up. He also states
that the Bolivian peasant coca growers
are being backed into a corner and are
"willing to ldll or be killed to get out of"
iL While the rhetoric of the peasant
syndicates and federations may well
include such language, the fact remains
that during at least five years of
interaction and sometimes confrontation
between coca growers and the Bolivian
government (aided by the U.S.) in the
coca growing regions of the Chapare and
the Yungas there has been little violence
and only a handful of deaths. Finally,
cocaine is manufactured from coca, not

three times in the article. Cocoa, which is

I>,
THI! BLUBHI!AKTS
BLASI' ()PP
JUO<IU!Il RscoRos
by ADdrew HamliD
First the Bluehearts had an ep. I
didn't listen to the ep. Heather took it
(this was last year). Heather (last year)
listened to the Bluehearts ep and said it
rocked pretty hard, shake shake shake
and all that. I didn't have time. I was
doing funky things and walking around in
the sun. "Ryan," I told Ryan, "the earth
is waking up, Ryan, waking up from the
long slwnber of winter," which has
nothing to do with the Bluehearts at all.
Now the Bluehearts have an albwn.
It's still safe to say albwn, you just can't
say LP anymore. LPs don't exist
anymore. Now we have CDs, and CDs
are so much better, they sound so much
better than LPs and never wear out and
cost a fucking arm and a leg. But that's
not the Bluehearts' fault. I haven't found
anyone party to blame yet. Buy the
cassette. Believe me, you don't need socalled "CD-quality sound" to enjoy the
Bluehearts. Or 1(2 Japanese, or the
Crammps, or the Ramones, spiritual
godfathers to the Bluehearts...
Anyway, the Bluehearts have an
album. It's called Blast Off It is on
Juggler records. It is made up of songs
from three albwns the Bluehearts have
released in Japan. The Bluehearts are
from Japan. They consist of Hiroto
Kohmoto on lead vocals and harp,
Mastoshi "Marcy" Mashima on guitar,
Junnosuke "Kawa" Kawaguchi, and
Tetsuya "Kaji" Kajiwara on drums.
They come from Tokyo. They sing
in Japanese. They don't care that 99% of
the people who hear them can't
understand Japanese. Hiroto has this to
say: "We grew up listening to bands like
the Rolling Stones and the Beatles, who
all sing in English, and we couldn't
understand them either. So we think it
can work."
That's fme. At least they don't make
up their own language to sing in, like
Magma, another favorite band of mine.
And their lyrics, translated, make more
sense then some people who grew up
speaking English. Bluehearts: "Faintly we
can hear it/Here we press our hands
together/Listen close and heart/fhe song
of youth pounding{mside everyone's
heart." Prince: "Let's gO crazvlLet's get
nuts/Look for the purple banana 'til they
put us in the truck." Bluehearts: "Don't
need anybody's rule/Don't need anyone's
morality/Doo't need school, don't need
any lessons/Just wanna get straight to the
truth." Eddie Money: "I feel the
hunger/lt's a hunger ... " Bluehearts: "Just
a bunch of needless, worthless shit."
R.E.M.: "Salpa mutkin nadynoze goona
thay" ("Radio Free Europe," Murmur
version, frrst verse, frrst line).

and Marcy Mashima (from left) photo courtesy Juggler Records
But these lyrics, however anthemic
and true, are not what immediately strikes
one about the Bluehearts, just as your
first impression of Leonard Nimoy won't
have much to do with his singing, or the
poetry he's written. No, your frrst
impression of the Bluehearts is Kaji
smacking the snare drum through the
middle of your left speaker, Marcy
ripping up the other one with tight guitar
lines, and above all, Hiroto bellowing
down the middle. Sometimes he goes a
little sour (as one "The Blue Hearts
Theme." which sort of doesn't fit on the
album imyway), but most of the time
he's got that bursting-with-spit-frompursed-lips-breath-ragged style I love so
much. In other words, the Bluehearts hit
the hips and the feet long before they hit
the language centers in the brain. This is
as well, for rock has always looked to
sonic innovation rather than words per se
to make its point. Or nail the point home,
as the case may be.
Do they sound like the Ramones?
Not as pure, but that's not a put-down.
The Rarnones came as a reaction to
pompousness and umpteen orchestral
overdubs; in their zeal. thev reduced rock
to guitar nrrrrr, drum whap, bass
booooom and a Brooklyn native with a
huge honker trying to sound like John
Lennon. Their Japanese first cousins use
some other instruments, like keyboards
(horrors! scream the 78-82 generation 'of
punks), and aren't afraid to try the slow
song. Come to think of it, the Ramones
did slow numbers too,.-except that the
difference between a regular Ramones
song and a slow Ramones song is that
the former flashes along like a sprinter
and . the latter just lopes along
energetically, like a kid with a hall pass
who's going to masturbate in the third
floor restroom. The Bluehearts actually
play ~me, like, love ballads and things.
Not too many though; ' these guys like to
pound and nail and those other verbs 1
mentioned above~
Don't get me wrong though, you
won't fmd much cynical sexism on Blast
Off. If anything these guys are barelycloseted romantics. "I don't want to go to
Chernobyl/l just want to keep holding
that girL.I just want to kiss that girl/On
the top of this tiny planet." That's sweet,
man. "Who does the earth belong
to?/Whose are the crashing waves/Whose
this beautiful morning belong to?" The
Bluehearls aren't so different from a lot
of English-speaking bands--they create the
buzz to make you listen, then they lay
on the important messages. And if the
important messages above seem a little
too close to the Hallmark card variety,
to the office and recite all the
lyrics
to "My Sharona" for me, after frrst
signing a claim sheet stating that you
haven't read the lyrics since Get The
Knock was new. In other words, it's .got
a good beat and you can bug out to it
"The Future Is In Our Hands" leads
off the a1bwn with a riff that could be
"Blitzkrieg Bop," or "Sister Ray," or
"Road Runner," or even ~'Heart Of The
City," doesn't really matter, it served
those songs as well as it serves this one.
"When The Bombs Fall" rips off
"Communication Breakdown" for its
opening fullisade and then plunges into a
spirited anti-war polemic ("The angels
won't sing/When the bombs falVIs when
the future dies.")
Lyricwise, 1 like Marcy's "Kick The
Blues" ("Talk about the 70's, was nothing
but a dream/falk about the 70's wasn't
what it seems...Oh, this place is a great
big joke yeah/lt really pisses me
off... That guy's been beat up by his
loneliness... ", shades of Iggy Pop) and,
much as 1 hate to admit it, "The' Blue
Hearts Theme,"
("Hey all Y9u
murderers/Bank robbers toolAnd . all you
punks/As you strain . to hear us/I1lere
inside your prison.") Buy this thing, 'take
it home, and jump and down as hard as
you can. Anybody says "Stop that!" or, "I
can't even understand the words!" just
shove the enclosed lyrics sheet, with cute
picture of a big-nosed dude on one side,
into their face. Or give them the "My
Sharona" test.

Albert Camus' The Possessed
have its Pacific Northwest premier at The

performance of Camus' play, which is ·
based on Fyodor Dostoyevsky's classic
novel, will be on June 6. Such is the

Presented by the full-year program
Politics and Theater, The Possessed is a
play . about spiritual and temporal
revolution
and
its
accompanying
responsibilities.
From
its
prerevolutionary Russian setting, Camus'
play examines the meanings and ,
consequences of "possession" by ideas or
ideology, and the fine line between the Places, please: from left, Dennis Ginoza as Peter VerXhovensky, Deborah

Deadheads: Do not weep for the Dead
It take s
many to
cover the
dead
:
.
','
THB GRATIlPUL DEAn
ON!!
FROM THE VAULTS
AJUSTA RHcoms
by Loren Rupp
There are two standard reactions to
the Grateful Dead and their music: you
either love'em or you hate 'ern. Or in
some cases, you used to hate them and
now you love them. This rift is
understandable. The Dead's music can
often be strange, complex, unpolished,
and generally hard to get into. The
Deadhead
community'S
alternative
lifestyle seems to further alienate the
band from the "rest of society."
Deadicaled, an album of Dead songs
rezecorded by other artists, may help to
bridge that gap. Bringing together such
diverse talent as Elvis Costello, Los
Lobos, Cowboy Junkies, Dwight Yokum,
and Jane's Addiction, the album should
help demonstrate to non-believers the
strength of the songs themselves.
It's interesting to nOIe that, except for
Burning Spear's "Estimated Propbet," all
the songs here are from the. ~'s 197074 period. That is when the Dead·refined
their concert perfonnances with the
. improvised
and . unpredictable
inIelpretations of these songs that made a
great band and a great songbook. .
Deodicated has little of that type of
jainming--1lO 4O-minute versions of "Dark ·
Star" here. Most of the cuts are
straightfaward studio versions. But it is
refreshing to bear some much-needed new
arrangements of these old classics. The
Indigo Girls compliment "Uncle John's
Band" with plaintive vocal textures.
Midnight' Oil's sound provides a new
depth to "Wharf Rat," and Dr. John
slides in an absolutely grooving "Deal."
Perhaps the most profound remake here
is Suzanne Vega's medley of "China
DoU" and "Cassidy." No big jam, but as
she sings "Fare thee welVMay your life
proceed by its own design," Vega's voice
adds gravity to Bob Weir's finest lyrics.
Deadicaled should help tum people
on to Dead tunes. But this "deal" works
both ways-it also might help convince
old deadheadS that there actually is some
good new music out there to discover, if
. they open their ears and their mind. This
is best exemplified by . the Jane's
Addiction version of the Garcia anthem
"Ripple." Some would argue that Jane's
fail to touch Jerry's message to his

followers,

drumming and spacey vocals. doesjustice
to the song in the end. And as it closes
and the singing ends• .you hOOf JA stan
into "The Other One," which you may
have to buy a bootleg to hear the rest of.
Speaking of bootlegs. another new
release is bound to make deadheads
rejoice. This is not another lame studio
Dead album, ii's a live disle. One From
The VauilS is a CD-only series of
recordings from the band's finest shows.
Finally poor quality--the most common
complaint
of bootleg
listeilers--is
answered with digital technology. These
are entire shows start to fmish, not the
chopped up bits and pieces . of jams
usually featured on the studio albums.
The fIrst One is a concert from the
Great American Music Hall in San
Francisco in August 1975. The De.'\d
played only four concerts that year,
which makes this an interesting
document; it also makes the Blues For
Allah album pretty much obsolete. From
the opening "Help Is On The Way/Slip
KnotIFranklin's Tower" medley, this
double CD set kicks and jams. More is
on the way, so maybe now Deadheads
will quit spending money on Concert
tickets and save up for a CD player. But .

Playback ·theater: come ·and be heard
by Lydia Beth Leimbach
A Thealer of Difference will perform
an evening of playback theater in Lecture
Hall 2 on June 6 from 7 to 9 pm.
Admission is free, although donations
will be gratefully accepted.
A Thealer of Difference, an
improvisational acting group coordinated
by Dr. Leticia Nieto-Johnson from the
Student Advising Center, focuses upon
telling people's "stories." A member from
the audience, the "teller." describes an
incident in hislher life and assigns
characters to the actors who play out the
scene. The performers must try to recreate the scene as accurately as possible.
given only a limited amount of
information. The resulting scene, usually
brief, can become a surprisingly "real"
experience for the teller and serves as a
way for the teller to see the incident
more clearly and gain perspective. Also,
because of the audience, the teller can
,have a significant experience of being
truly heard. The actors benefit by giving
a gift to the teller . and enhancing their
own creativity,spontaneity. and sensitivity
to the world around them.
A Theater of Difference began
meeting regularly in winter quarter on
Thursdays. During spring quaner they
practiced from 11 :30 am to 1 pm on
Thursdays in Communications Building
209. The group, ranging in size from 5
to 10, performed during Upweek. Using
playback theater, they helped the audience
focus upon issues of difference, such as
differences of race, gender, and lifestyle.
. For a few laughs, and maybe a few
tears, come to the performance June 6. If
you are interested in playback theater,
you'll have an opportunity to see and
understand it more. If it . zings your
curiosity and you want to get your

Survey examines · TESC students' lives

'
After the first "The Mathematical
Witness" column (CPJ of April 11), in
whicb I illusttaled the use of bistograms
and statistical concepts comparing
statistics of first-year students coming to
Evergreen in the fall of 1990 (black bars)
with similar students going to othez '
public four-year colleges (white bars), I
received requests from readers for more
of these kinds of statistics. So bue they

The percentage of incoming Greeners
willl no religion was 55.5% in contrast to
10.2% foc other institutions. Greeners are
definitely not very religious, or at least
do not belong to organized religion, and
the minority who are religious tend to
belong to religions different from the
most common religions in the nation.
