Let your cruel vulture's beak
Rend away in pain the crumbling face
This oh far too pleasant mask
I'm always wearing for public view
Dig in pOisoned talons, gripping tight
Every corner of my naked brain
Leaving no shred unburned ,
And no ~ark places uncovered
Now lift! Your star-studded wings
Carry my ravaged, living self
Into some dark and wind-torn eyrie
Offer my eyes as food to your chicks

What cha' doin now my friend?
Don't cha know we're near the end?
The time has come to free the land,
In givin' time you'll understand.
One day you'll see that man's been wrong,
Then lookl The forest's almost gone.
They cut the trees without remorse,
They think the forest's just resource.
Where will the animals reside,
When there's no place left to hide?
It's time we stopped their greedy ways,
Before the blue sky turns to haze.
We need to make decisions now,
What to do, where and how?
It's time we stopped those CF.C.'s
Stop chokin' smoke from factories,
Rid the land of toxic waste,
And the trail of trash left in our haste.
We can change this world somehow,
Take a stand and do it nowl
It takes a change in attitude,
A simpler life must be pursued.
You've got to fmd your niche in time,
Find a way to make it rhyme.
Before it's time for us to go.
We've got to let the people know.
The damage done can be reversed,
Just remember it's flfSt!
So what's the reason now my friend,
You haven't started to begin?
The more you wait, the more you lose,
The answer's in the path you choose.

Now that the war has ended.
Olympia's Anti-Intervention Coalition
decided to change their name to
Olympia's Movement for Justice and
Peace (OMJP).
"We're going to broaden our
perspective on international and domestic
issues." said Jackie Wolf. the only paid
staff person of the group. Wolf came to
Olympia from the Seattle coalition as she
had a lot of friends in Olympia. and will
be starting school at Evergreen in the
fall.
Ron Jacobs. a member of OMJP sees
the group's adjusted focus as "exposing
and challenging the New World Order
and opposing the military state." He cited
plans for spreading leaflets and taIJqng
to people about the war.

Evergreen student who was involved in
some of the anti-war demonstrations.

felt kind of apathetic." Manthe believes
the activist demonstrators in Olympia are
a transient commuruty.
Wolf was surprised at the number of
politically active and aware people in
Olympia. "A lot of people assume all the
politically active people in Olympia are
Evergreen students, but that's not the
case, a lot are from the community."
Although Manthe said he's skeptical
about the group's success. "It doesn't
hurt to try. But, I'd like to hear about
more exact programs," he added. Manthe
feels the group should look into making
the Olympia and world communities more
sustainable and less reliant on "outside
resources."
Jacobs sees the group as becoming
more than a reactive group. "We want to
establish more of a .constant presence,"
Jacobs said. He explained the group is
going to do more outreach educational

activities.
OMJP has a forum planned on April
2 at the United Churches at 110 E

systematically
dismantled the civil liberties and free
speech defense of pornography in a
presentation that shocked and captivated
a standing-room only audience in the
Library Lobby on Saturday.
Pornography, Dworkin said. "creates
physiologically real hostility toward
women. And it creates sexual abuse."
Dworkin attempted to turn the free
speech and civil liberties pro-porn
arguments into pornography's own
condemnation.
Pornography, she contcnded, denies
women these very rights--and more--in its
creation and in the abuse women suffer
because of it.
She warmed up the audience to her
anti-pornography convocation with a
grisly descriptions of real pornographic
images.
"The basic theme of pornography is
forced sex--rape."
The rape, usually of an "uppity."
non-submissive woman, is "destruction
that is applied systematically to every
part of her physical body." Dworkin said.
But in the world of pornography.

the pain. They say 'Do it more. do it

the
nationally-known
author
Intercourse.
In the other pornography scenario,
Dworkin said, the woman has agreed to
be raped in advance, displaying her
purpled and propped-open genitals for
"whoever is looking."
Today's ultimate pornography is the
snuff film. Dworkin reported, which
features the real mutilation. rape, torture.
and murder of the female victim.
The films' triumphant moment shows
the man pulling the uterus from the
eviscerated body and ejaculating onto it.
Other snuff fIlms celebrate "skuUfucking." wherein "the man penetrates
every orifice of [the woman's] head,"
Dworkin said.
Videos of maimed, disabled, and
retarded women being raped enjoy
increasing popularity. Dworkin said. If
the woman is missing a limb, so much
the better: "The man ejaculates onto
where the arm has been cut off."
"Usually," Dworkin said. "when so
many people are being hurt, at least some
people think that that's a political
problem. That's not the case when it
comes to women."
flustler and Penthouse legally peddle
incest-inducing "child" porn. Dworkin
said. with elaborate techniques that

eagerly awaits anal penetration from
"daddy,"
Men believe pornography, according
to Dworkin, which makes it "the Bible of
male sex.uality in our time."
Therefore, "When women say,
'Look at the woman hanging from the
meat hook ... She's being hurt ...· Dworkin
said. "They say, 'Oh, her? She likes it. '"
Men "want their dates to do what is
in the pornography. They want their
daughter to do what is in the
pornography," she said.
"Throat-fucking," for example, has
killed several men and women, a direct .
result of pornography telling men they
can thrust their penises to the bottom of
the throat. Dworkin said.
Several gang rapists have told police
that they patterned their crimes after a
racist pornographic video game. she said.
Rapists and serial killers use
pornography to plan their crimes against
women; and empirically. pornography
increases male aggression against women,
makes men less able to recognize rape,

EVERGREEN--Winter quarter brings
with it gray days and relentless rain. The
weather, along with the stress of the
quarter, the aftermath of the holidays, and
the war in the Middle East have affected

depression with some ways you might be
able to help students through a hard time.
Depression, left untreated, may result in
suicide in its extreme:
Missed class
Difficulty concentrating

If several of the above symptoms ,

Feeling suicidal is not the same as acting

concern.
When students are experiencing
situational depression, talking to them and
letting them know you care and want to
help may be all that is needed.
Sometimes it is more serious than this.

Bill proposed to
increase tuition
OLYMPIA--Students at Washington's
universities and colleges could be facing
an additional tuition increase next year. A
bill proposed by Senator Gerald Saling,
R.-Spokane, chair of the Senate Higher
Education Committee, will increase
revenue by raising tuition and eliminating
certain select fee waivers.
Senate Bill 5814 increases resident
undergraduate tuition from 33 to 35
percent of undergraduate costs at
Washington's public research universities.
"This means that instead of facing the
$1124 per year tuition increase depicted by
the Education Cost Study, these students
will see an increase of $322 per year,"
said Scott LaFramboise, Washington
Student Lobby (WSL) executive director.
In addition, non-resident graduate student
tuition would increase 40%, or $2,955
per year, he said.
Students and parents are encouraged
to leave messages concerning the
legislation by calling the legislative
hotline at 1~800-562-6000. For further
information, please contact the WSL state
office at 786-8830.

Tatoos lead -to
devil worship
UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTONTeenagers with tattoos are more likely to
be involved in drugs, d~linquency, and
devil worship,.according to a recent study
directed by a UW pediatrician.
. Dr. James A. Farrow, director for
the Division of Adolescent Medicine, said
the stUdy came about because he and a
Virginia . colleague, Dr. Richard H.
Schwartz, had seen a large increase in
the number of youths in detention centers
and drug rehabilitation programs with
homemade tattoos.
Because of the sample of youths
involved, Farrow admitted the study was
biased by having more teens with drug
and alcohol problems than a random
sample of the general public.
Only 20 percent of the youths
without tattoos had been arrested--this
number jumped to 71 percent among "
teens with tattoos. Likewise, the dropout
rate among tattooed youths was over
twice as high, and their mean high school
GPA was nearly a full letter grade lower
than teens without tattoos.
Farrow said there were certain
recurring symbols they found tattooed
onto youths that identified them as having
taken part in satanic activities. Among
these were a dagger and serpent
intertwined, a five-pointed star within a
circle, th~ cross of confusion, and the
number 666.

This lovely two story, 5 bedroom, 2
1!2 bath, two kitchen home is perched
high on a bank overlooking the waters of
Eld Inlet with the Cascade Mountains
framing the background. As you approach
the home, located on Cooper Point, you
will be greeted by an exotic Japanese
garden, complete with a raked pebble
garden surrounded by distinctive plants.
The inside of the house features natural
hardwood floors and vaulted ceilings.
Skylights and large picture windows
provide generous amounts of natural
light. not to mention a panoramic view.
If this were just any unoccupied
house, you could purchase it for "well in
excess of .$400,000," according to the
broker/owner of RE/MAX, Four Seasons
Real Estate, Dave Seeman. But this home
awaits someone special; the next
president of Evergreen.
The house was purchased by
Evergreen in 1968 for $118,216 as a
residence for Evergreen's presidents. The
home is cared for by Facilities, and the
utilities are paid for by the college. The
president's house fIre/security system is
directly linked to the school. Free rent is
one of the benefits of being Evergreen's
president
.
The home, last occupied by Joe
Olander, now sits empty. Interim
President Les Purce chose not to live in
the home because he did not want to
move his family, including his two
daughters, out of their home and schools
for the relatively short period of time
before a new president is selected. The
new president should be hired sometime
in July 1992.
Until Evergreen <selects a new
president the house will remain
unoccupied, except by a few neglected
houseplants.

Recycling paper saves energy, forests
by Christopher Fondots
As active participants in American
society, each one of us is responsible for
the consumption of two large pine trees
worth of paper products every year. As a
nation in 1989, we consumed 86 million
tons of paper . products and recycled only
about 27.6 million tons. By choosing to
purchase recycled paper, then closing the
loop by recycling that paper after its use,
we can make significant strides to
minimize the environmental degradation
that accompanies paper production.
Creating new paper from discarded
paper waste saves great amounts of
energy, protects forest lands from
needless destruction, greatly reduces the
air and water pollution involved,
conserves a great deal of landfill space,
and creates five more jobs per ton than
does paper made from raw trees. On
campus we are currently recycling 67,400
pounds of waste paper every year. About
51 % of this is high quality white ledger,
28% is newspaper, and the remaining
21 % is shipped out as various grades of

mixed paper.
Of all the paper we are recycling
white ledger and computer paper is by
far the most valuable. This high quality
paper is prized by recyclers for its strong,
long fibers which hold up well in
reprocessing. These fiber can be recycled
up to seven times, depending on their
original length. Every year this nation
throws away 4 million tons of this high
quality paper, that's about 85% of what
we use. If this pile was stacked, it would
be great enough to build a 12-foot wall
from New York to California.
By recycling paper we keep it out of
the waste stream and help to save rapidly
disappearing and increasingly valuable
landfill space. Forty percent of municipal
solid waste is paper. Of this volume,
Syrian women detained
by
Scott Douglas for
Amnesty
International
Between August 1977 and February
1988, at least 77 women were arrested
and detained without charge or trial both
for peaceful political activity and/or
relationship to men sought by the security
forces. Many of these women remain in
detention, subject to torture, including
rape and other forms of sexual abuse.
One such woman is Wafa' Idriss, who
remains imprisoned without charge.
Torture of political prisoners is
widespread in Syria, and is used
systematically to extract "confessions" and
information from victims, as well as to
punish prisoners. Reports of rape and
other forms of sexual torture are
common.
Readers are encouraged to write
letters to the following addresses
expressing concern at widespread reports
of torture of detainees. Urge that the 77
imprisoned women, including Wafa'
Idriss, be immediately and unconditionally
released, unless charged
with a
recognizably criminal offense, and given
' 40% of it was used in the decoration and .
packaging of oUr consumer goods. For
every ton of it we recycle, 3.3 cubic
yards of .landflll space are conserved.
Newspaper is the most apparent paper
product in the typical municipal waste
s~, accounting for about '14% of a
landfill's contents. A recent dumpster
dive has revealed that the waste stream in
the campus housing area still contains 11·
14% potentially recyclable paper.
The manufacture of one ton of
recycled' paper allows 17 would-be pulp
trees to remain standing. Every day
Americans buy about 62 million
newspapers and then throw out about 44
million of them . That's the equivalent of
about 500,000 trees being dumped in
landfills every week, and more than 30
million trees in newsprint each year.
About 35% of the world's forest
consumption is used to make paper. If
we recycle 50% of it in America we
could save a forest equal to the combined
size of New England, . New York, New
Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Maryland.
Recycling half the world' s paper would
free 20 million acres of forest lands.
Modem pulp and paper mills create
some of the most toxic effluent of any
industry. Since much recycled paper has
already been bleached much less is
required in its remanufacture, and this
helps to greatly reduce the amount of
dioxin formation that accompanies this
process. Using recycled feedstock reduces
the resultant air oollution..bv 74%. and
prompt trials which meet international
standards of fairness. Letters should be
courteously worded, because inflammatory
letters can incite further reprisals against
prisoners.

. On May 18, 1980, Mount St. Helens
erupted, dev~tating large portions · of
southwest w'~gton and ldlIing dozens.
Soon after the. eruption "Iocal residents
began reporting that a mysterious woman
had appeared to them; forecasting another
eruption in October. Although the
October eruption neva happened, it is
interesting' to euffiine these stories as
they are a regional variant of the
"vanishing hitchhiker story."
In a typical vanishing hitchhiker tale,
the wibless, usually male, picks up a
hitchhiker, usually ferilale, who is
walking on a lonely rural road. The
hitchhiker proclaims that she prefers to
sit in the back seat of the car, and gives
directions to a house a few miles down
the road.
When the driver reaches the house,
he turns to find that the woman has
mysteriously vanished from-the back seat.
described her as . looking like "the
Hawaiian volcano goddess, Pele" who
legend& indicate takes the form of a
woman, young or old, who wears varying
garb.
He knocks on the door of the house and
describes the passenger to the owner of
the house, who calmly reports that the
description matches hisjber daughter who
died in a car accident years back. .
Dozens of 'variants of the Vanishing
Hitchhiker tale have been collected and
reported by folklorist Jan Brunvand in his
excellent books on urban legends.
In September of 1980, in the ForksPackwood-Morton area, tales began
circulating of a vanishing hitchhiker who
had predicted an October eruption of
Mount St Helens. A man from Forks
reported picking up the woman and

35%. If everyone who subscribes to The
New York Times recycled their paper
every day for a year, we'd keep over
6,000 tons of pollution, mostly sulfur
dioxide (a component of .a cid rain), out
of the air. Newspaper pulp starts out as
99% water and 1% fiber. By recycling
one ton of this material 7,000 fewer
gallons of water are needed, half the
water required to manufacture virgin
paper.
Recycling paper saves 70% of the
energy needed to produce it from raw
trees. According to Clean Ocean Action,
recycling a 36-inch tall stack of
newsprint saves the equivalent of about
14% of an average household electric bill
per year. In the case of office paper, the
equivalent of almost three barrels of oil
is saved for every ton recycled. This
notion has recently helped an existing
paper plant in Port Angeles to save 1215 megawatts in energy expenditures.
Through its conversion to recycled paper
this plant along the Elwha River is
expanding its production while reducing
its energy costs.
The recycling crew would like to
thank all those individuals who have
helped to advance reduce, reuse, and
recycle consciousness on the Evergreen
campus. Enjoy spring break and as part
of reducing our consumption;' please
remember to turn off the lights when

The. Haw~goddess Pele would be
a good choice to predict the eruption, for
she had long been associated with the
mountain. In April of 1980 a bottle of
gin wrapped in ti leaves was sent to
Washington from Hawaii in an attempt to
appease the goddess and photographs of
the ash plume purportedly show her
profile.
The Morton police department heard
similar rumors that "some people picked
up a lady with a white gown on" who
gave warnings about an imminent
eruption before vanishing from people's
back seat
The chief of opera~~s at Mount
Rainier National Park also heard reports
of Pele s.igbtings from associates, thoug"h
the descriptions he heard of the mystery
woman were slightly different.
Though small details in the stories
varied from loc!llion to location, one
detail remained entirely consistent the
prediction that the mountain would erupt
between OctOber 12 and 14, 1980.
But alas, poor Pele, October 1980 came
and went with no new angry blasts from
the mountains and gradually the stories
have been forgotten.
It wouldn't surprise me, however, if
someone driving the back roads of Forks
is slowing down to pick up a mysterious
woman in a white robe this very instant.
After all isn't the mountain about due?
Chris Bader bestows a thousand
bleSsings to Chris of the CPJ for finding
him this story.

No acceptable males forman-hater
by B.L. Rogers
Andrea Dworkin, a radical feminist,
spoke out against pornography last
Saturday night to a mixed-gender crowd.
Though most of them were women, a
few interested men attended her speech.
They were, however, kept on the hook
with one sentence of relief. She promised
to say thank you ("but not on [her]

denounce Larry Flint and his cause with
a promise to work against him. :rhis was
all the kindness she offered to any man.
Dworkin continued to heap all men
into the huge "they" throughout her entire
tirade against pornography, pornographers,
and consumers of pornography. By
neglecting to provide an image of a male
person who did not fit the definition of a
pornographist she included me as one of
the males who "eviscerates women and
ejaculates on her uterus." I've never done

Porn censors
women's rights
In response to the editoris comments
(March 7 CPl) on the anti-pornograPhy
slide , show shown on campus and
downtown last month by NOW, Safeplace
and the TESC's Women's Center, I
would like to express my anger and
frustration at the typical response from
not all but 'many men to the issue of
pornography. Tedd Kelleher, as many
often do, focuses much of the analysis of
pornography on the censorship isSue,
detracting from the overall negative
aspects of pornography.
Censorship is a touchy subject with
many implications, making compromises
in ideology difficult to reach. I am not an
advocate of censorship, but I have a hard
time condoning the "freedom" with-which
most pornography is created, produced,
and distributed. The freedom here is for
men with money who therefore have
control over many of the cultural norms
within our capitalistic society. Tedd does
not
acknowledge
the
fact
that
pornography is in itself a form of
censorship, censoring women's voices
through sexual violence and fear.
Also, pornography censors the rights
of women in choosing how their bodies
will be used and portrayed. Pqrnography
silences my voice as it ObjeCtifies my
very existence. Beyond this, how much
of the United States is really an
uncensored society when only priveleged
classes truly have the power to express
themselves?
Within his article, Tedd failed to
mention the expository nature of the slide
show and the realistic analysis it
presented. For many present at the show,
it was their first analytical exposure to
college student who never committed a
sex crime but found that women didn't
like having sex without kind love
emotion (fucking). And what about the
women he was with who also saw porn
and thought .it was right to fuck like
animals? (Beside that we are animals.)
Who are the victims? That man is having
a hellacious time crawling from the fIlthy
mind that he didn't ask for, and your
beating on him does nothing to help him,
any other male in your Saturday
audience, or the women who like men
who won't treat them like "pussy." I
wanted to hear from you some hint of a
direction for your audience to adjust the
imbalance. It is selfish of you to want
women to hate men, Andrea, and it is
that which you attract.

Rape and porn associate sex with violence
by Honna Metzger
"The man is on top, the woman is on
the bottom; they go bump bump in the
night She has cleaned his underwear.
This is a heirarchy."
You tell me men want to thrust their
penises into my skull, to pull out my
uterus in order to cover it with semen, to
push their penises down my throat until
I bleed and die.
You tell me men see me as
pornography, as cunt, as pussy. They will
rape me given the opportunity, for fun,
for being "uppity."
Tell me, Andrea, what sex between
men and women should be. How can
women still have sex with men?
If a woman is on the bonom during
intercourse, you say, the man is superior
to her. Penetration of her body by any
male body part. furthermore, constitutes
rape and violation, whether a woman
knows it or not
You say that if she does want it, it is
only because she has learned to appeal to
men's needs for fear of violence. Or, she
has learned to eroticize powerlessness and
submission.
THAT'S WHAT MANY MEN
WANT US TO THINK. You say this
yourself. Your say men have eroticized
violence of women. But you have made
the erotic violent. You have made sex
into violence.
Men tell us that having a soft.
penetratable vagina and a clitoris--rather
than a penetrating, hard penis makes-women inferior. They want to believe
that anyone or anything they penetrate
with their penises has been conquered,
violated.
"When I enter your body with mine,"
they say, "you are surrendering,
submitting to me, the male. Therefore,
when I have intercourse with you, I am
inherently dominant. superior, the master.
What's more, you like it. You like my
dominance, my 'rape' of you. Moreover,
you are worthless."
Andrea, you help these men along.
You could argue that women enjoy
penetration by the penis, that this act
does not in itself contain violence, that
the act of penetration has nothing to do
with superiority of men, as much as men
would like to think otherwise.
Then what would men do? How
could they claim "victory" when women
refuse to use the imagery of sex' equates
domination.
The problems with this strategy are
seriQ9s, however. First, there is rape.
Rape destroys trust between men and
women, separates us, makes women
understandably hostile.
Porn acts in a similar way. When I
see pornography, I feel a hatred towards
men. I also question my sexuality.
"Maybe I should not have sex with men,"
I think, "if this is what it means to them--that they' are raping me, that I am a
mindless animal."
Rape and porn make it hard for
women not to associate sex with
violence. They also make it harder for
women to say "I don't like it when you
shove your penis down my throat so deep
that I cry and gag." I don't want to
pretend to be submissive when I don't
feel submissive. I want to be myself,
without fear of rape, without fear of
rejection.
The second reason for the sex
dilemma is pleasure. Power and
powerlessness are fun.
If we took away all erotization of
power from sex, what would be left?
For many, not a lot Isn't sex mutual
surrender to each other?
Isn't
"possession" of another person a draw to
sex?
Men and women botb enjoy being
dominant and submissive. It can be
sexually fulfilling and exciting. Can't we
say, "In sex, we will be unequal and play
out our fantasies consensually. But in 'the .
real world' we are equals, and will
respect each other."
Sexual intercourse, as opposed to
rape, is not violence against women
unless women say it is. Intelligent,
powerful women like you should not
allow men to pretend otherwise.
Honna Metzger contributed the news

on the cover.
the audience, Dworkin either patronized
or tried to humiliate, in neither case
responding to the substantive issues they
raised. At no point did Dworkin
acknowledge the fact of a principled,
feminist opposition to her analysis and
strategy.
Dworkin's lack of respect for
opposing viewpoints, - her reliance on
emotional appeal rather than evidence or
arguments in support of her assertions,
and her use of powerful oratory to
basically scare people into submission are
the tactics of a dangerous and
manipulative demagogue, not of a
responsible "intellectual" (as she calls
herself).
Andrea Dworkin defines women as
complete victims
Dworkin referred to women who
work in the sex industry as "voiceless,"
"powerless," "always 00 the bottom," etc.
Dworkin's response to a sex industry
worker in the audience who challenged
her was to tell her "you won't always be
happy" (how many people are always
happy?) and to call a woman to the stage
who said that COYOTE (an organization
of prostitutes) is "dead" (it isn'1) and that
prostitution isn't a job, it's rape. Well,
what are other jobs in a capitalist
economy? In their own words, many sex
workers say that the industry offers them
higher pay and a greater degree of
autonomy than anything else available to
them.
These women are not powerless and
they are not voiceless. Many or most of
Page 8 Cooper Point Journal March 14, 1991
them are making their own choice, based
on the options available to them, to work
in the sex industry. Dworkin's refusal to
allow women in the sex industry to speak
for themselves, to define their own
experience, and to set their own priorities
is classisl, racist, and anti-reminist.
On a similar note, Dworkin stated
that the U.S. military "destroyed the
women of South Vietnam·-they destroyed
them." Her statement would doubtless
come as a big surprise to the women of
South Vietnam, who survived in spite of
massive U.S.-sponsored repression. Most
of those who worked as prostitutes were
trained in other occupations after the war.
Andrea Dworkin is ethnocentric
Andrea Dworkin is another white,
intellectual-class woman who presumes to
define other cultures and to tell women
of color and poor women what their
priorities should be. Dworkin states that
pornography is essentially the same in
many different cultures. I find this
assertion highly suspect given the
tendency of white radical feminists to
universalize their own experience and
priorities. Dworkin doesn't give examples
and doesn't acknowledge the role of
capitalism,
imperialism,
and
U.S.
corporations in pushing pornography on
the Third World.
Dworkin implies all women should
prioritize ending pornography and male
dominance. She fails to acknowledge that
issues of race and class are women's
issues; race and class oppression affect
women just as much as male dominance
does. (Dworkin's ignorance of class
issues was starkly revealed when she
stated--and this is a quote--"pornographers
are the only group of people in this
country who can pay for their own
lawyers.")
Those who are oppressed and
marginalized by race, class, and gender
should define the relative prioritization of
these issues. Women like Andrea
Dworkin should listen to and respect poor
women and women of color rather than
trying to impose the priorities of
privileged white women on them.
I find it very disturbing that Andrea
Dworkin--someone who I see as
ethnocentric and insensitive to cultural
differences, the implications of whose
work are racist and classist--was invited
to speak at Evergreen on the day after
International Women's Day.
Andrea Dworkin ignores capitalism and
imperialism
'
Dworkin castigates the left for not
educating itself about the oppression of
women, but apparently hasn't bOthered to
educate herself about capitalism and
imperialism. Dworkin states that the
extent to which we (in the United States)
are responsible for the growth of the sex
industry in the Third World is "through
our military." But this is only the tip of
the iceberg of U.S. and European
responsibility for sexual exploitation,

He also failed to mention the
prevalent themes of pornography such as
blatant misogyny, racism, classism,
domination, violence, and torture, which
affect and oppress us all. He said he was

is for the right of porn to exist, rather
than the rights of all women who are
constantly objectified - and abused by
society on every level because of
society'S often silent support of women's
bodies as tools for profits and bad jokes.
The Minneapolis anti-pornography
ordinance
(written
by
Catherine
McKinnon
and
Andrea
Dworkin)
condemned by Tedd would allow victims
of pornography, those who are kidnapped,
brutalized, and/or forced into making
pornography, access to the legal system
in order to gain reparations for the
destruction forced upon their lives by
pornographers. This ordinance is not a
censorship' ordinance nor does it
guarantee any Jegal justice.

as it is this liberal attitude towards stark
realities that make actual lives into
abstractions .

Dworkin blames all abuse of women on porn
by Cbristopher Cban
I listened to the taped speech of
Andrea Dworkin on KAOS' s "Women
Do This Everyday," March 12. While I
don't dispute many of the unci ted facts
she used, I do think her point was a bit
skewed. Her diatribe followed the same
basic lines as those who would save us
from other social dangers, be they
William Bennett or the Parent Music
Resource Center.
She described some of the horrid
types of pornography and the victims of
its disgusting brutality. Unfortunately this
was all 100 believable. Also unfortunate
is that she fails to address the same
question most other guardians of society
fail to address. Why? Why is this filth
(my own value judgement) produced and
bought? Like the ex-drug Czar, Andrea
Dworkin wants to fight a war on porn
without addressing the enemy.
Demogogue poor choice for Women's Week
by Emily Susan Manning
I'll be blunt: Andrea Dworkin made
me sick--and her graphic descriptions of
violent and degrading images of women
were only part of what nauseated and
infuriated me.
Don't get me wrong. I agree with
Andrea Dworkin on several points:
pornography degrades women and
upholds male dominance. Pornography
sexualizes
and
almost
certainly
contributes to violence against women.
Like Dworkin, I want to see an end to
pornography and male dominance.
However, Andrea Dworkin says much
more than this, directly and by
implication. I fmd the other, crucial
elements of her message--and just as
importantly,
how
it's
delivered-dangerously manipulative and inaccurate.
Following are the main areas of my
disagreement (and quite frankly, disgust)
with Andrea Dworkin.
Andrea Dworkin is a demagogue
Andrea Dworkin strongly implies (if
she doesn't state it outright) that
pornography is every woman's biggest
problem. She acts as if pornography is
somehow separate from and worse than
the more widely viewed images of
women in media and advertising. Rather
than make a real argument for her
prioritization of pornography and her
strategy to end it, Dworkin assaults her
audience with horrifying images and then
states that if you don't agree with her
methods, you support violence against
women. When challenged by members of
Which ci these wcrks does Andrea

could support creative- journals like
Yellow Silk or demand that our children
be allowed to explore and understand
their bodies and sexuality as healthy and
natural and not as deviant Pornography
perpetrates the idea of exclusive
enjoyment and exposure and suggests that
erotic sexuality is an "underground" idea
thus creating shame and dishonesty.
Pornography predetermines ideas about
sexuality and the way it is perceived and
enjoyed.
It is the American way of life that
allows pornography to exist. No one
wants to lose a little bit of personal
freedom to help others live healthy, safe,
and meaningful lives. No one will give
up their Egg McMuffm so that chickens
can live outside instead of in factory
cages, nor can someone relinquish their
"jackoff' images so women can find
integrity, self~etermination and safety in
their own lives.

women as direct or indirect objects of
pornography, I realize that men and
children suffer as well.

She says porn producers should be
responsible for the harm they cause.
While it is undoubtable that women (and
men) are injured in the production of
some porn, it should be obvious that the
real enemy is not the producer. The
enemy of those against porn (drugs and
rock 'n' roll) is the consumer. Even
Nancy Reagan figured this out.
She also cites "studies" which say
that when men ingest porn they are more
likely to objectify women, to be more
prone to violence against women, etc.
While this may be so, this is a rather
unqualified interpretation of these studies.
The qualifications of the studies I have
read are that they look at the short term
effects of pornographic films upon
college males, mostly under 25, under
laboratory conditions. Interpretations vary.
I have seen surveys (I'll let you fmd
your own) that say rape fantasies are the
most common type amongst women and
men, gay and straight. What is porn's
role in this: Instigator, By Product, or
Coincidental ?
I understand pornography is banned
in China and Saudi Arabia. Do women
there have more civil and human rights
than in Sweden and Holland? Is
pornography the cause, as Andrea
Dworkin seems to assert, or the
symptom. And of what exactly? Again,
why is porn bought? How about porn for
women, gay and straight? She doesn't
address these questions in her speech.
She seems to simply take a big, ugly
scoop of abuses against women and
attributes them to the relatively modem
phenomena (a few thousand years old) of
male-oriented pornography.
There were white kids having sex
before Elvis, poverty before gangs, and
gang violence before rap music. Should
we fight against the more hideous types
of porn? Yes. Should we all become
Edwin Meese-cateers? I hope not. Let's
not give porn, as a thing, more credit
than it deserves. It can distract us from
the real battle ground of the ideas and
beliefs within people.

Dworkin's naive view of the state
was clearly revealed by her treatment of

The return of acoustic music to the
pop charts over the past several years has

On the local level, Olympia has no
shortage of talented women s~ger
songwriters, several of whom will be
featured in a concert called "Women,
Women, and Son~" on Monday, March
25 at The Columbia Street Public House.
The event, a presentation of The Olympia
Live Music Society in conjunction with
the Columbia Street Pub and Thurston
Community Television, is part of Art
Splash, the weeklong celebration of the
arts in Olympia that begins Friday, March
22. The concert, to be aired on TcrV at
a later date, showcases five of the
Olympia area's top female acoustic
musical acts: Holly Graham, Jo Ann
Thorn, Betsy Wellings, Lisa Lindquist,
and Cloudburst
Holly Graham, probably the most
political of the five artists, at least
musically speaking, has five albums to
her credit, including two on her own
label--Earth Anthem and The Bellybutton
Club, both available on cassette. Her
work includes love songs, and songs
about the environment, children's issues,
peace and the funny side of womanhood.

She's also wriuen seven full-length

el1rQUed in the Masters ' in Teaching
program at Evergreen, Graham is also an
artist in residence for the Washington
State Arts Commission, bringing theatre
arts to thousands of young people in
schools throughout the state.
In 1982, at age 23, Jo Ann Thorn
had an unexpected brush with stardom
. when "Children Raising Children," her
song about a teenage mother that she had
recorded on a 45, became the most
requested song in East Texas.
Uncomfortable standing in the

landed in Olympia Last fall , she
'sembled a band and recorued her first
album, The Elephant and the Owl, which
will be released sometime this year on
compact
disc
and
cassette.
Her
song writing ability is complemented by a
dynamic voice and an unimposing stage
presence that can make audiences feel as
if they are being sung to in their living
rooms.
Betsy Wellings learned to play the
guitar while she was an exchange student
in Mexico. Latin American music became
a permanent part of her repertoire, which
also includes American folk music as
well as original music ranging from the
serious to the silly, a sampling of which
is found on her self-titled casseUe album.
Though influenced by such artists as Phil
Dehs, Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell and
Christine Lavin, Wellings has a . musical
style and sense of humor all her own.
Native Idahoan Lisa Lindquist
recently released The Hands of Time, her
first cassette album, made up of
traditional and original folk songs. Her
soft, clear voice is heard regularly at The
Columbia Street Pub, The Asterisk, and
The Antique Sandwich in Tacoma. Her
repertoire includes familiar songs by Joni

Robin Downey and Lisa Holm make

described as an eclectic mixture of jazz,

collaborate to assemble complex vocal

Eve Hilgenberg, a flfSt year gradUate
student in the Masters in Teaching
program, has been tremendously busy this
quarter producing "The Crucible" with
students in the program Society, Social
Change, and the Expressive Arts.
With 13 years community and college
drama experience Hilgenberg knew she
could tackle the task of directing the
play. "It's been a lot of work," she said.
"We've been rehearsing every day for the
past couple of weeks," she added.
Hilgenberg feels the play has been "a
mirror from which we can view our own
evils."
"There's been a lot of talk on
campus about people being wrongly
accused of things. That's exactly what the
Crucible is about," she added.

were more ' easily accounted for: Tad,
playing rhythm guitar parts, was highly
visible, his merry man spinning out the
band saw noises.
The audience clapped between every
song, yelling out "Tad! Tad! We love
you, we love you ...Tad's got a nice ass,

voter it simply means: listing Candidates
in order of preference. The simpl<;.
principle behind STY is that each voter is
nearly assured of ' one . vote counting
toward representation; the result is that if
25 people were to be elected, a person
would need only l!26th of the vote to be
assured of gaining office.

addition would like to work with TESC
students about using PR in the new SG.
We in CPR have no illusions that
structural changes like PR alone will
provide magical solutions to complex
problems, but believe that any structural
process created at TESC that both allows
effective decision-making and better
achieves the goals of respecting and
nurtUring differences could have an
impact felt far beyond the campus.

In PR, however, voters choose the
way
they
want to have , .their
representation defmed: they can ,vote for
individuals who best speak for what
matters · most to them. At TESC, the
cultural caucuses could be a significant
component of such a PR system if
caucuses still were asked to .meet, U\lk
about their needs and interests and then
field candidates to speak for those rieeds
and interests to the community. As a
result, any number of cultufai caucuses
could exist and foster the debate, selfexamination; and diverse representation
the proposed SG plan seeks to provide.
The , fonn of PR that I would
recommend for TESC would be based on
individuals rather the party-based systems
used in most democracies. Called the
single transferable vote (STY), this
system has been used in Ireland for 70
years and earlier this century was used in
New York City, Cincinatti, Cleveland,
and
a
number
of other U.S.
municipalities. The fonnula for counting
votes is rather complicated, but for the
10% of the national vote.

Noise pollution In Computer Center
by R. Jay p,
It is Sunday night--close to Monday
morning and after spending quite a few
hours in the computer center I have to
ask a question of any student who has
ever tried to work at the computer center:
Is there some way to shut down the
boorish, arrogant, verbal diarrhea that
leaches out from the 5% of the morons
that hog p.c.'s at the center?
From what I heard--and who didn't
--there seems no shortage of "stud~nts"
who seem to think (?) that their inane
utterances need to be aired at maximum
volume. These people get a tenninal to ·
themselves then spend absurd amounts of
time NOT using it, while the line waiting
to use a machine stretches to eight and
ten more.
Such lack of discretion, consideration
(and judging by contento-competence) is
truly frightening. I have not come to
accept the groups of two, four, and more
that congregate about a single keyboard
