Frozen pipes burst
by Claire Littlewood
Plagued
by
freezing
cold
temperatures, pipes in Phase Two
buildings (dorms E through K) froze
December 17, and when the thaw began,
steam and . water pipes broke. "Most of
the buildings suffered steam damage,"
said Jeannie Chandler, returning director
of Housing. Chandler estimates about
$30,000 in damage to the buildings
structurally.
Damage occurred primarily in dorms
F-K, and even then it varied from
aparunent to apartment as to whether
they suffered steaming or flooding. "We
were able to contact most of the students
by the 28th and the reactions were
positive, understanding, and cooperative,"
sa id Chandler.
According to Chandler, the one-year
warranty on the Phase Two buildings ran
out last year. The college was forced to
hire an outside contractor to help with
rep<lirs s uch as fixing the pipes, and
replacing floors, ceilings, and carpeting.
ChancjJer said some of the staff worked
for 48 .hours straight trying to save
students belongings December 21 through
25 when most of the pipes broke. "It was
a real community effort," commented
Chandler on the campus-wide assistance.
The college carries no insurance on
residents' belongings. Students were
informed by a letter, and subsequently at
a meeting January 7, that they would
have to file a torte claim in order to be
reimbursed for damaged property. Nearly
all clothing and bedding was saved as
staff rushed to launder all of it following
the flooding . .
However, as many of the students
pointed out at the meeting on Monday,
books, posters, pictures, and stereos were
not sa ved. Nicole Farup, one of the
Ilood/steam victims said, "I have a lot of
smelly, moldy books, and some of my
posters have been steamed onto the walL"
She also questioned the process of
pULLing a price tag on irreplaceable
belongings such as photographs, and art
work.

On the night of December 11,
billowing smoke choked hallways and
clogged ~e already screaming smoke
detectors on all floors of D-dorm. It
looked like the real thing. Firefighters
stormed the building, axes in hand,
dragging hoses behind them. But there
were no flames to be found, just
hallways coated with chemical dust and
several inoperable fire detectors. A fITe
extinguisher had been unexplainably fired
directly into detectors on all the floors.
The smoke from the extinguisher set off
the alarms.
In the last year there has been a 25
percent increase in malicious flTC alarm
pulls on campus. Because of statistics
like this housing residents, student
managers, the fITe department, and
campus security have all begun to look at
malicious pulls in a new and more
critical light.
Many students commented on the
"$REWARD$" flyers that were posted
across campus after the D-dorm fITe.
Though the flyers are n~w down, the
fund of the student-organlzed: "Reward

00 with their time than to respond to
pranks.
Fire Chief Mike Peters regrets his
frequent unnecessary visits to the college.
For one thing the cost is significant.
Eyery time that a truck leaves the station
taxpayers spend $115; for each hour the
truck is on the scene, add an additional
$86; every officer on board is good for
$29 and there are five to six officers per
rig, Students who have been caught
pulling alarms this year have been
charged with fines up to $400. In
addition, pulling an alarm is a class C
felony.
The constant presence of blinking
lights and sirens may be regrettable, but
it is also necessary. From Peters'
standpoint, there are no false alarms.
"Every time we go out, we react as
though a fire is burning ... saving lives is
the key ... we want to minimize the
potential loss of life."
For the Fire Department this means
clearing the building every time. Chief
Peters hopes students understand that
evicting slu.dents from their rooms is not
designed as a way of punishing or
apprehending those who pulled the false
alarm; "The idea is not 'We'll teach
'em,' our reasoning is based on important.

safety concerns."
One of the unfortunate side effects
of multiple false alarms is a high apathy
rate
among
housing
residents .
"Complacency kills," warns Peters, "if
there have been three false pulls in one
evening, you may decide not to get out
of bed for the fourth. If the fourth is
caused by a neighbor's kitchen fire, and
not a malicious pull, you risk death."
Beyond the humanitarian concerns, the
Fire Department also has to watch its
own interests. An empty building
decreases the chance of personal injury
lawsuits being brought against the
McLane Fire District or Evergreen.
Fire District and Campus Security
are looking into methods to combat pulls.
Both sources agree, however, that student
based protests will do more good than
authoritative "solutions."
Some students have speculated that
if the reward for the D-dorm culprit
grows much larger, a bounty hunt may
start.
Students
with
information
concerning the D-dorm alarm, or
additional contributions to the reward
fund are invited to call 866-1520.
Students with . information concerning
ANY false pull can call Campus Security
at x6l40.

Gardner opens office during protest
by Adam Wade
In an impromptu meeting with
protesters
and
reporters
Tuesday,
Governor Booth Gardner said that
although he supported the initial actions
of the protesters, he could not support the
storming of the House chambers because
it would disrupt legislative business. He
also noted such actions "bring attention to
the behavior, and not the cause."
There were at least three Evergreen
students in the meeting, as well as a
local high school graduate and several
reporters. Mary Wade, an Evergreen
student, remarked that the meeting was a
stroke of luck. She said that the
Governor had no plans to speak to any
protesters after the House chambers were
overrun. The meeting was arranged by a
Capitol building worker, according to
Evergreen student Malt Hammond.
Hammond said the worker spoke to one
of the Governor's aides and had a small
meeting arranged for a group of about 10
people who were "quiet and wellbehaved."
Hammond soothed his frustration
during the discussion. "I don't think it
matters whether anything meaningful was
said; I think it's important that he was
willing to talk." Hammond qualified his
statement by saying that the Governor
didn't seem to be swayed into a new
position by what he heard, but that his
willingness to meet with protesters
showed his good faith.
According to Oregonian intern Julie
Tamaki, who attended the meeting, the
Governor's mood . was "somber but
sympathetic." Others noted that Governor
Gardner appeared to be concerned with
the storming of the House chambers,
perhaps even fearing for his safety, but
he seemed to be receptive to the
protesters' comments.
Anna Schlecht, a protest organizer,
observed that protesters actions were a
result of frustration and hopelessness, and
that following the rules is not always the
right course of action.
Schlecht, also took the opportunity to
present to Governor Gardner a copy of
the Olympia Anti-Intervention Coalition's
proposed legislative resolution, which
addresses Washington's problems of
homelcssness and unemployment, as well
as cuts in federal social spending and
increasing military spending.
The resolution calls tor the
establishment of Washington state as a
sanctuary for absent without leave
soldiers, draft resisters, and all other war
resisters. Gardner's press secretary Dan
Yoymans commented later that although
Gardner supports a peaceful solution to
the Middle East crisis, he does not
support the Anti-Intervention Coalition's
resolution word for word.
Most of those who met with Gardner
were optimistic. Wade said, "The
governor seemed to be listening." And
when asked for his next move, Governor
Gardner said he had none now, but that
he would "continue to pray for peace."
Adam Wade plans to do an in-depth
story on the House Chamber occupation

SG Synopsis, Jan. 9
by Larry Jefferson
For the first time in the new year
governance got together. We were greeted
by Vice President for Student Affairs
Gail Martin, who gave us an explanation
of the power structure of Evergreen and
the history of governance. Afterwards we
moved on to Student Concerns.
There were two, one dealing with the
at-large positions and the other dealing
with the structure of the government. It
was decided to fODD a committee to do
the at-large positions better next year.
Then we moved to the heart of the
meeting. We approved the S&A Board,
but there were complications. First, the
Student Union has not been passed by
the board of trustees and, second, the
documents have not gone to the attorney
general for approval. The reason the
document's approval was delayed was to
allow the SG time to solidify before
going before the trustees. Since the SG is
not approved by the trustees we cannot
approve the S&A Board, however the SG
can and will recommend that Shannon
Ellis, dean of student and support
services, approve the board as is.
From approving the S&A Board we
moved to Outreach. It was decided that
a committee will be formed and will

Geotherlll,a l energy enviroJ;lmentally unsound
by John Wulrers
Geothermal . developers
(True
Geothermal Company) are planning to
drill into the Wao Kele 0 Puna forest on
the Big Island of Hawaii for volcanic
heat resources to make electricity. This
profit-motivated project would export
electricity to the island of Oahu through
an extensive overland and underwater
cable system.
The project is being
subsidized by the state and federal
governments with cost estimates running
between $1.7 billion-4.3 billion for 500
megawatts

Over 90% of Hawaii's lowland

Primus: The Suck On This .interview
by Sam Loewenberg
SEATILE CENTER ARENA, Dec.
9, 1990 - The three members of Primus
are nervous as they wait to entertain a
sold-out audience on the third night of
their eight-city tour with Jane's Addiction
and, as an added attraction on this leg of
the LOur, the Pixies. Somehow in the
chaos that commands a three-band tour,
Primus has been denied a sound check.

says Larry with a grin.
.
Continues Les, "Lately my shoe laces
keep coming untied and our roadie has to
come out and tie them , that' s kind of a
big trend ."
It's humorous to think of Les singing
about wanting to be a fisherman and
whapping away at his bass in front of
three thousand p,eople, worrying about his
shoe laces being untied. Reality intrudes
on rock and roll?
A line of concertgoers winds around
the block outside, and as we sit near the
stage watching the audience filter in I ask
drummer Tim (called Herb by Les and
Larry for his liking of herbs) Alexander
how it feels to have all of these people
coming to see him.
His reply echoes what Larry and Les
have said earlier. "I think they're
probably here 'cause Jane's here, but they
get ·exposed to us, which is good."
Maybe most people were there to see
Jane's Addiction, and as it turned out that
was all they got to see because Qf the
huge lines and because each band had a
time limit. That was a shame, because
in Primus' thirty minutes they put on a
better show 10 terms of energy-and
honesty than either Jane's Addiction or
the Pixies.

When I finally went to see this film,
I was slightly relieved with the outcome.
The opening scene begins with Lieutenant
John Dunbar (Kevin Costner) in a
makeshift hospital facing amputation of
his fool. This apparently does noL set
well with him, because in the next s.cene .
he rides into the middle of a field,
taunting the Confederate troops and
facing imminent death. With arms spread
out and asking forgiveness from his
"father," Lt. Dunbar seems untouchable
and godlike on his horse. Instead of
dying, Dunbar becomes a hero with a
choice of serving anywhere he pleases.
He chooses the frontier because he wants
to "see it before it is gone.",
While traveling to his new post with

I ask Les, who must know the lyrics
because he sings them, Is he trying to
influence people? Les tells me that he
doesn't know, but that he doesn't want
people to ·go out and hurt themselves or
anything. Eyes bulging, Larry begins
breathing heavily. "There's something in
that fisherman song that made .me want
to kill myself. When I play it backwards
it's a message.. It says mrphmhrpgack!"
I decide to try a topical question: If
you had five minutes with George Bush
what would you talk about?
Without blinking an eye Les
responds, "Fishing."
"Pot laws," says Larry. "Except I
probably wouldn't get too far with him."
"I say fishing. Me and George use
the same Shimano recl."
"You bastard!" Larry screams.
Does touring ever get boring?
"Yeah, honestly, yeah," says Herb.
Les considers. "It's got its up and it'>
downs, but at least I'm not digging a
ditc\1. "
A final dumb question for this band
that just wants to go out and play their
music: What do they want their audiences
to get out of their shows?
"Orgasms," responds Les seriously.
"Orgasm must be achieved otherwi'. we
h:1ve not done our job correctly. We

we're tryin'."
So who is this band· that I've spent
twenty bucks to see? Are they famous?
I ask Herb.
"What? Nooo," he laughs. "No I
don't think so, just some guys from San
Francisco playing music."

romantic.
I also want to mention the dialogue.
The actors who did not speak the
language all learned from Doris Leader
Charge and Alice Whitehat. Even though
I do not speak the Lakota language, I
have been told that those who spoke it
on screen spoke it well, and the subtitles
provide a fairly accurate translation.
I believe this film is the most
accurate portrayal of Indians by nonIndians iliat Hollywood has done to date.
It is worth seeing. I still can't get John
Wayne out my 'mind though . Oh well,
bitter tastes are sometimes the hardest to
forget.

with me is the buffalo hunt. Exikcting
to find herds of buffalo, the Lakotas are
saddened to come across the carnage of
carcasses left behind by whites who
killed the animals merely for their hides
and tongues. This is a haunting message
of the abuse people have done to this
land and its inhabitants. When the group
does find a herd, the hunt is a very
intense one. The credits mention that
care was taken to ensure the safety of all
an imills , yef it is hard to believe that no
buffalo were actually killed.
Lt. Dunbar's journal played an
intricate role in the film. He wanted to
record everything that happened to him,
and that desire was almost his demise.
After being accepted by the Lakota
people, the soldiers set off for winter
camp; Dunbar realizes that he has left
his journal behind, and rides back to his
post to retrieve it. Upon reaching the
post, he is discovered by some soldiers
who immediately fire upon him,
mistaking him for an Indian. His horse
and wolf friend dead, Dunbar is taken
away only to be rescued by his friends.
The written word has been a hinderance
to many indigenous cultures, and it seems
ironic to me that a major part of this
film revolved around this journal. The
one humorous side of this subject was
when a soldier who found the journal
wanted it merely for use as toilet paper,
not to use against the Lakota people.
The images of the plains area were

Dunbar wonders where all the buffalo
and Indians are, jUst as tourists of today
might · ask. The . first Indians who do
appear are Pawnee. They are made out
to be barbaric, and out for revenge
againsl all whites. From the killing of
the muleskinner to the attempted attack
on a Lakota village, the Pawnee are not
portrayed very well in this film. The
only group that the film portrayed in a
more negative fashion was the U.S.
Army. From the commanding officer
committing suicide, to soldiers intent on
killing everything in sight, including
Dunbar's horse and wolf companion,
these army personnel were ruthless and in
some ways a pitiful lot. This is an
aceuraLe portrayal of military life on the
frontier without the presence of family or
humane values.
Graham Green's portrayal of a holy
man named Kicking Bird, seemed to
decimate many stereotypes about Indian
images.
He was warm and sincere.
Even though his role was dynamic and a
major part of the dialogue (one third of
the films dialogue is spoken ih the
Lakotn language with English subtitles),
my favorite role was performed by
Rodney Grant who plays Wind in His
Hair. A powerful scene done by Grant,
is the one · where he charges toward
Dunbar and exclaiming "I am Wind in
His Hair. Do you see that I am not
afraid of you?"

guitar to provide dissonance.
, By the end of the set Dave returns to
fiJful. antics and Jean's vocals reignite,
but the show still lacks the edge of ire.
At least this time they're comfortable
with their tone; last year' s Reko Muse
presentation seemed caught in the middle
of anger and acceptance.
Now, with a tassel of new songs
reCorded, they're moving toward the
bigger time--a fresh outlook for this B.C.
band and crowds which deserve to grow.

Down on Rain Street
The Irish are nothing if they aren't
honest. .. and the Pogues are nothing if
they aren't Irish. Those things being as
they are, (and I myself being Irish), I've
no choice but to praise "Hell's Ditch" as
the most marvelously vulgar and
charmingly brutal look-at-life album of
the year. Everybody and everything gets
equal time on an album about eXistence,
prison, summer, the sea, politics, alcohol,
God freaks, and bliss.
The album's namesake song renders
a wretched picture of life in prison. "The
killer's hands are bound with chains/at
six o'clock it starts to rain/He'll never
see the dawn again/Our lady of the

"naked howling freedom" they live with
every day. It's an idea that worries me.
You might expect a lamenting dirge of
low and somber melodies to accompany
this song, if so, prepare to be surprised.

Hawkwind is Odd 101
HAWKWIND
"SPACE BANDITS"
R OADRACER/ROADRUNNER/G WR
by E. Robert Wirsing
Two years is how long Hawkwind
enthus iaslS have been waiting for the new
album. Two long years since "The Xenon
Codex." But was it worth the wait?
Yes. And no. (ambiguity is my
trademark)
The reasons for yes, and no, are
manifold. Hawkwind has a new singer
(sort of) . Bridgett Wishart takes over the
vocals for the fir st three tracks, giving
founder David Brock 's pipes a rest. She
does an admirable job, putting passion
into her songs. For an unexpected
surprise, she certainly turns what could
be a fault into an added bonus.
The name "Space Bandits," has little
or nothing to do with the album. The
only thing that it could possibly relate to
is to cover painting where (one can only
guess) the members of Hawkwind are
advancing--from an abandoned spaceship- - - - --towftfds a figuf&--e.veGatw0-{)f--<H"rati-veAmerican (possibly in reference to track
two, "Black Elk Speaks").
For those of you who are not
Hawkwind fans, or who are initiates into
their strange world, a few facts should be
stated. Hawkwind was a space rock band
who got its start in the late 60's as
Group X, changing their name to
Hawkwind Zoo, and then finally
Hawkwind when they signed with United
Artists Records in 1970. The original
lineup included founder David Brock on
vocals, Huw Lloyd Langton, Terry Ollis,
Nik Turner, Dave Anderson, and Dikmik.
Poet Bob Calvert has been a member
since the Isle of Wight festival in 1972.
Lemmy Kilminster was in the lineup for
a time, going on later to form his own
band--Motorhead--named after a song he
wrote for Hawkwind.
\1\
, t
,
The ir steady stream of best sellers
seems to chart only in England; it's
doubtful if Rolling Stone magazine has
even heard of them. Since their inception
Hawkwind has released over two dozen
albums, so it's odd that they never hit
the charts in the United States. Renowned
fantasy author Michael Moorcock wrote
a few tracks with the band, and is close
friends with many members. Live shows
are recommended for true Hawkwind
fans. Only true fans should consider
attending since they seem only to tour in
Europe. The live acts are filled with
goodies:
the combined effeclS of
laserlight, heavy metal, science fiction,
and space rock are not to be missed.
The songs here are quite odd. While
still psychedelic, the band mixes the
weird a nd the straightforward, and few
tracks on this album resemble the
straightforward songs from the band's
earlier work. "Realms" is a symphonic
track consisting of disjointed themes, and
is more evocative than anything else.
"T.V. Suicide" is just strange synth-rock,
but with much more substance than, say,
Depeche-Mode_ "Out of
has the rock rhythm reminiscent of
"Urban Guerilla," while "T.V. Suicide"
has the odd overtones evocative of "Good
Evening." Other songs such as "Realms"
and "Ship of Dreams" have a sound all
their own.
It is hard to figure what kind of
audience Hawkwind appeals to. If you're
into metal a little harder than the
mainstream,
you'd
probably
like
Hawkwind. If you are into science fiction
or fantasy songs that bring you into new
worlds, then you's most likely enjoy
Hawkwind. If psychedelia is more your
ticket then Hawkwind would again be
your band. If you enjoy all of these
things, then "Space Bandits" is for you.

I sec people dancing under the stars, in

it's that type of song. It's hard to help
but savor the sappiness of a serenade that
embraces ilS own aura, a modem parable
to the 1920s "April in Paris." It really
doesn't matter if you've never been there,
(it's doubtful lead vocalist MacGowan
has), it doesn't matter if you never will;
just enjoy the idealistic dream while you
can .. .because the songs that follow
"Siam" on the album will wake you up.
"Sit my friends and listen/Put your
glasses down/Sit my friends and listen/To
the voices of the drowned ... " "The Wake
of The Medusa" is a spellbinding tale, a
seafaring story with a political twist. You
can hear the waves crash as fiddle chases
lyrics over the whitecaps. "Once ' more

the song we discover that th,e government
and political organizations are the harpies,
the "Medusa" that has dragged the people
of Ireland out to sea, where they
continually drown. This is a marvelous
presentation, my favorite song on the
album. Between vocal stanzas, spirited
shrieks bloom chaotically in what sounds
like a duet between a happy cowboy and

quiets you can hear the sea raging arid
the rain beating against the shore. The
effect is uncommon.
This song is particularly poignant
because you can understand every word
whistle player Spider Stacy sings. Though
enjoyable, MacGowan's crooning Irish
Cockney is often hard to decipher unless
you've been steeped in Irish relatives for
years, (or looked at the lyrics on the
album cover, as I did). Stacy's vocal
input, along with mandolin player Terry
Woods, is refreshing and worthy of note.
It doesn ' t take a genius to see that
"Hell's Ditch" runs knee deep in alcohol.
The Irish have always had a fascination
with that demon rum and the Pogues
have gone to great lengths preserving that
heritage. "House Of The Gods" is the
swinging tale (with Beach-Boy-esque
background vocals) of MacGowan's
escape from missionaries ... " Finally found
a place they coufd never reach/Sipping
singha beer on Pattaya Beach/Singha beer
don' t ask no questions/Singha beer don't
tell no lies ... " "The Sunnyside Of The ..
Street," "Sayonara," and "Rain Street" all
share in this . romanticized alcoholic
ambience. The band don't claim that
alcohol will solve your problems, just
that you can have a ripping good time
forgetting them.
"Six to Go" IS a good forgetting
song ... c1ose your eyes and dance the slow
bob and hipswing, no stress, it's nice. I'll
probably go to hell, because I've never
bothered to listen to the lyric . It's
probably very important and the whole
album probably hinges on this one song.

album a listen, and maybe you'll find

The rally continued until Wednesday
morning, with ninety protesters spending
the night in the House Chambers.
During a night of debate, protesters
drafted a statement which said they were,
"outraged by the Bush Administration's
eagerness to commit the United States to
war, and its lack of interest in diplomatic
resolutions to the Gulf conflict."
Rep. Dick Nelson presented the
statement to the House Democratic
Caucus Wednesday, and said he would
try to get it presented to the House
Republican Caucus.

occupation of the House Chambers was
unwarranted, saying, "We don't control

with [protesters] being here, I have a lot
of respect for this place."
Tuesday's protest began with a 9 am
teach-in in the Evergreen Library,
followed by an 11 am march from Red
Square to Sylvester Park, where the
marchers met with demonstrators whose
presence already overflowed the park.
The rallying crowd then marched to the
Capitol and applauded speeches by
Coalition organizer Peter Bohmer and
several others calling for a peaceful
resolution to the Mid-East Crisis.
Bohmer's speech criticized the U.S.
government not only for its intervention
in Iraq, but also for its "imperialist
policies,"

and
institutional racism and sexism.
He

protests have been made, but in contrast,
Tuesday's rally occurred before fighting
had taken place. "I compare this to 196465, and there was certainly no mass
movement. We're way ahead this time,
and I think the American populace is
much more aware of what's going on
than they were in '64," said Evergreen
faculty member Don Comstock.
The "teach-in," which occurred
Tuesday morning in the Library and was
attended by an estimated 300 people,
consisted of a panel of speakers whose
topics ranged from the history of the
conflicts between America and the
Middle East to how to establish
conscientious objector status and the
current status of the anti-war movement
in the United States, as well as the
possibility of establishing a coalition
between the peace movement and the
Seminars
environmental
movement.

The march from Red Square to
Sylvester Park consisted of an estimated
200 people, mostly Evergreen students.
They were given a six car police escort
for most of the march, which led from
the Evergreen Parkw~y to Cooper Point
Road, cut over to Division by way of
Capitol High School, and then followed
Harrison into downtown.
As the marchers chanted slogans and
carried anti-war signs they were greeted

Samples of all of American societies-some arrived in high-fashion clothing,
while the author arrived as one-fourteenth
of the cargo in a VW bus. This was a
demonstration of Americans, both radical
and moderate. They came together with
one voice to demand an end to American
Imperialism. Behind the chants; raised
hands, and songs, I witnessed a clarity of
vision that cut across all other
boundaries. To these people, the need for
·peace was paramount.
The messages that this rally gave
were many. Its size and broad-based
support said that we are the people.
Many veterans said that the soldiers must
be treated as people, and that our anger
must be at those that create war, not our
brothers and sisters forced by economics
to fight it. Americans-who favor peace
will not be swept aside. As the clouds
war loom closer, the winds of peace are
just beginning to blow.

On January 12, 12,000 to 16,000
protestors gnthered in Portland, Oregon to
show their belief in the need for peace.
They sang, shouted, chatted, laughed, and
cried as a number of speakers, including
Evergreen student Hugh Moag, presented
their views on the Mid-East crisis. The
protest, which was the largest peace rally
in Portland's history, had many
aSIXXts, such as the diversity of the
crowd and the strength of
commitment to peace in the Middle East.
I spoke with a number of high school
students
who
expressed
thei
commitments
to peace as
being
influenced both by concern for friends
and on principle. They seemed to have a
great understanding of the facts and
concepts behind the imminent invasion of
Kuwait and Iraq. ) The crowd also
included a large number of post-college
protes.tcrs. From women with small
children to older women who said, "I
can't go along with that chant, I'm a
