On December 1, 5000 people rallied
in Seattle for peace and demanded an end
to U.S. troop deployment. The
demonstration started with speakers and a
marimba band ~ the federal Bl,Iilding.
The people marched through the city to
Westlake Mall and gathered at the park
next to the Pike P4lce Market.
The huge crowd represented many
different ,ages,
perspectives,
and
backgrounds. The diverse speakers
included Palestinians and Jewish people,
representatives from Congress and
grassroots organizations, ministers, and a
reggae band December 1 was also

Gender roles reversed in mock matrimony
by Claire LittlewOod
On December 2, 1990, Sir Hocken
Finldestein, aka Holly Brown, and Lady
Kodacious, aka Kody Johnson, were
joined in a not-so-holy reverse-role mock
matrimony. The wedding ceremony took
place in the Library lobby. Seating began
at 1:30 pm, the ceremony took place at 2
pm, and lasted a brief- 15 minutes. A
reception, potluck, and dance followed. ,
Holly Brown saw the wedding as,
"Helping join the gay and lesbian
communities." She went on ,to say that it
would also bring about "social awareness
and fun." Minutes before the ceremony
Holly -said, "Yeah, I'm kinda nervous, '

by Larry Jefferson and Brian Almquist
On W$esday, November 28, the
Student Government met for the second
time this quarter and started to put all
the pieces together. More at-large
members are signing up; some student
guests came and checked us out, and
more cultural caucus members are
fIltering in.
The next SG meeting will be
January 9, 1991. The agenda will include:
·Outreach
.Approval of S&A Board
-What's Happening with:
Faculty Hiring
Up-week Planning
-Any Student Concerns (Come on down
and talk)
During winter quarter students will be
able to get involved with many
committees, ranging from Faculty Hiring,
to the Strategic Planning Council, to the
board of ,trustees. Student involvement in
these decision-making processes will help
to ensure Evergreen grows in a iJirection
that is reasonable and rational for
students attending this college.
Students interested in serving on any
of the various committees or D1Fs are
urged to leave a message at the Student
Communications Center, CAB206, or on
voice mail: 866-6000 x6785.

optimistic about the marriage, "No, I
don't think it'll last, the bride just doesn't
have baby-making hips."
The mother of the groom, Sheila
Finldestein, was even less enchanted
about the match, "No, I'm angry, can't
you tell? He's marrying a Catholic." A
unique addition to Sheila's outfit was a
musical breast, "It was the only thing that
was round."
Shannon Palmer, a bystander, took
time out of her studies to "enjoy the
Nordstrom's-like piano playing." She
'commented on the "dashing outfits," and
the "complete seriousness of the mock

The wedding processional minced its
way down the stairs from the third floor
to the theme music "I Love to Love You,
Baby." The priest echoed Holly's earlier
comments saying that this event, "binds
us as a community. No one takes family
Seriously anymore."
Sir Hocken and Lady Kodacious
exchanged their own version of vows, ate
Hershey Kisses, crushed a paper cup and
became, as the priest said, "Master and

Arrest follows fisticuffs In housing area
•
by Paul Henry and Damon Rosencutter
An assault on an Evergreen security
officer over Thanksgiving break has
raised questions about campus safety, say
officials.
Security received a call about a
disturbance in the Housing area shortly
before midnight on Saturday, November
17. Security Sergeant Larry Savage and
Officer Gordon Smith were in the
housing area at the time and reported
hearing breaking glass and a scream
coming from the staircase of one of the
new d.orms.
Security went to investigate and
encountered
an
agitated
woman
surrounded by a number of students. The
officers attempted to talk to the woman,
but she refused to talk and tried to run
away. The security officers blocked her
exit--"a feeling of 'I'm trapped' came
over her," said Savage--and she hit
Savage in the jaw.
The woman was restrained and
confmed to the Security patrol car while
Savage called for backup from the
Thurston County Sheriff' s Department,
which was able to send a car within a
few minutes. When the deputies arrived,
they escorted the Security patrol car to
the Thurston County Jail.
"The woman was so worked up we
didn't even want to try to transport her to
the county patrol car," recalled Savage.
The woman was booked into
Thurston County Jail on suspicion of
criminal trespas.sing. She was arraigned
on November 29 and formally charged,
and was appointed an attorney. She is
currently at Western State Hospjtal in
Steilacoom to determine her competency
to stand trial.
The woman was an Evergreen student
before placing herself on academic leave
early fall quarter. Several weeks later she
was evicted from Housing for disruptive
behavior, and was formally disenrolled
this week. Security reports that the
woman suffers from mental illness and
drug and alcohol abuse.
This is not the fust time Security has
had problems with this woman. Sergeant
Savage recalls that "1 spent four hours of
my shift the night before following (her)
from place to place, resolving the
problems she'd caused. In cases like this,
we are often one step behind the
person .. .it was just coincidence that we
were in the Housing area when the call
came in the night of the arrest"
The sergeant said that the woman
has been disruptive all year, although that
night was his first encounter with her
personally. Her actions have usually taken
the form of verbal assaults and vulgar
language, though there have also been
reports from members of the Housing
community of burglary and break-ins.
In situations such as this, Housing's
power is limited. "Our hands are tied,"
said Assistant Housing Director Bob
Carlson. "We really don't have a lot of
options vie can use. When someone
comes into the Housing area and
becomes a nuisance, we can talk to them
and ask them to hear that they're being
a nuisance, but unless they actually break
a law we can't do anything."
Housing's Provisions of Rental
Agreement and Social Behavior provides,
"At the discretion of the Director of
Housing and/or a mental
health
practitioner, a resident who is deemed to
be potentially harmful to her/himself or
to others may be released from his/her
Housing Contract" and that "Intimidation
or threats of violence and/or violence
may result in eviction from Housing
and/or action in · accordance with the
college Social Contract."
.
"We do not tolerate violence in this
community," said Carlson. "We would try
to keep (a dangerous person) out of the
community," although, he pointed out,
only the police can cite suspects and
physically restrain them from the Housing
area.
Many Housing residents' personal
security measures are notoriously lax,
which only adds to the danger,
commented Sergeant Savage.
"If everyone would keep their front
doors locked it would greatly alleviate the
problem," he said, adding that many
residents have been victimized and had
food and other things stolen simply
because they never locked their doors and
the thief somehow knew of that fact.
Damon Rosenculler and Paul Henry
flipped a coin for top billing on this story.

Feeding birds is both fun and enjoyable
but remember, if you -feed you ,are
interacting with nature. There are definite
do's and don'ts to be cautious of. You
can start feeding when the leaves drop
but don't stop until spring. You will be
creating a situation where there are more
birds than usual attracted to the
immediate area. The end result of feeding
and .abruptly stopping is more mouths
expecting food than natural sources can
provide. Keep reeders clean and seed
dry. Dirty feeders and rotting seed can
kill birds, Keep feeders and cats away
from each other. Better yet, get rid of
the cat. Some evidence suggests that cats
are the number one cause of avian
mortality in urban areas.

Different seed will attract different
birds, and good quality seed wiu be both

small flocks were seen this past weekend
in westside Olympia. It has been
concluded, after much consideration of a
possible harlequin duck in Budd Inlet last
week, that it was probably an immature
white-winged scoter. Also, four common

Edward likes to draw the dude with
the mohawk. In Can o'Worms the dude
with the mohawk is in a wheelchair.
Kenta Hadley, currently a Greener
expatriate down in West Virginia, like to
draw snakes. So does Jeremey Owen,
doyen of "Scotty," who is known to keep
the suckers as pets (but don't tell
anyone). Jeremy also caught, killed,and
skilUled an opossum he found mufkying

The
opossum's girlfriend put a price 18g out

Explanation of FMLN liber,ation platform
by Scot Wbeat
The recent debate which has occurred
in the CPJ concerning the FMLN
provides an opportunity to address the
reasons behind the conflict in El Salvador
and the roll of U.S. taxpayers in ending
that conflict.
It is ridiculous to participate in a
debate over whether or not the FMLN is
deserving of "saintly status" (November
19 CPf). I am aware the FMLN is
comprised of mere mortals and is
therefore capable of making mistakes.
Yet, I object to criticisms of the FMLN
based on half-truths.
While it is important to point out
questionable FMLN policies, it is
unfortunate that campus critics neglected
to discuss how the FMLN has responded
to the
in question. For instance,
The substantial 'support the FMLN fight marginalization in the cities; a

United Nations realizes this and has
therefore recognized the FMLN as the

Salvadoran opposition.
It is crucial to bring these points to

myth that U.S. taxpayers are supporting
a "moderate government" trying to

"FMLN guilty of violent acts, too",
November 29 CPJ) have some rhetorical
value, but they fail to address our
responsibility as U.S. taxpayers to stop
bankrolling repression in El Salvador.
Ending U.S. aid to ARENA would
greatly assist the popular organizations
and the FMLN in their goal to create a
democratic society in El Salvador.
Scot gets his shortest tag line ever.
The cartoons, I guess, are not really
issue. The issue is how do students
The Evergreen State College support
other to receive an education in a
healthy encouraging way. What I have
done to reach this goal is to try and
create a situation where students of color
and European-American students can join
hands. Not to forget their cultural
identities, but to use them to empower all
students. That's what it's all about to all
of us, we are here together, we've go to
make it work together. Not without
conflict or problems, but through genuine
effort to , seek understanding of different
positions and realities. That is what the
cartoons didn't do and why I am upset at
their divisive nature. We'll talk next time.
Larry Jefferson is continually
working to maintain an open dialogue
between all students.

Frozen dew on fallow fields.

Of woodstoves

With a morning's frigid dew.

Easing moods Inward
Work is focused and directed
For Earth's Introspection.
Freezing nights for loving
For curling up with a lover
And icy dew dripping mornings
Of black Ice and frozen puddles
For warm bed runaway dreams
And love
in the from
sunrise
With
the steam
sweat licked bodies
Escaping wffh the musk of ecstasy
Lazily out a foggy cracked window.
Vast expanse of snowy flat light
Meeting the dark of forests
Where roots grow ever deeper, more Intertwined
Communing together to fill the holes of a 'disappearlng landscape
Patiently awaiting Spring's rejuvenation
The immaculacy of new buds and spreading limbs
Of trees shaking the Ice from their bodies
Where the badger stretches to welcome the sun.

Why don't you listen to me?
I listen to you,
I speak but . my words are unheard.
I try with an,plY .roight to be heard
but no one seems to care to hear it.
What I say forms not in my head
but on my tongue.
I try but they can't get through the fog.
The fog of emotions
The fog which wipes out everything.
So it's slow on delivery but it's there,
you just have to work it.
"So what's your point man?"
You weren't Hstemng were you?

Is Jesus the

Eschew

by Desta Spence
Chanukah has become the ultimate
symbol for many Jews of our assimilation
and the sacrifices we as a culture
continue making to survive in a
Christianity dominated society. Chanukah
originated as a relatively insignificant
celebration of the victory of Judah the
Maccabee over the Seleucid Greeks in
165 B.C.E. Jewish families would get
together to light candles, play dreidel, and
eat lalkes.
Centuries later, significant changes in
the basic observances of Chanukah
occurred. Gift-giving was introduced to
counteract Jewish children's sense of
alienation and loss during a time of year
when the majority of their peers were
reaping in the material rewards of the
Christmas season. Later, a "Chanukah
bush" was incorporated into the festivities
to compete with the enticing splendor of
the <::hristmas tree. And gradually as
these alterations were made the overall
relevance of Chanukah became grossly
exaggerated. These are not merely natural
steps in the evolution that all cultures
undergo. These distortions are the

Christmas, or a similar festival, has
been celebrated at the time of the winter
solstice since the beginning of history. As
a winter ceremony associated with the
renewal of hope and the coming year,
Christmas 'was not an original idea with
but
rather
an
the
Christians,
amalgamation of traditions already in
practice before the birth of Christ.
The focus of these pre-Christian
winter festivals was' the winter solstice,
now December 20 on our calendar, when
the sun makes its briefest .appearance
over the earth. To ancient 'peoples this
phenomenon, along with barren fields
empty from harvest, retold the dying of
year. Through feasting, sacrifice, and
forms of ritual, the renewal of life
in the spring was guaranteed.
In Mesopotamia the earliest known
barrage of Christmas music, decoratioriS,
and sales in the shopping malls can make
one question the ability of Judaism, as a
culture, to survive. Or it can make one
want to scream: "I'm herel We're herel
Don't we count?"
The other side of the coin is that
Jews may actually resent "outside"
attention during the holiday season. As a
time when we may feel acute bitterness
and shame over the distortion of our
observances a seemingly innocent
question about Chanukah could be
interpreted as an attempt to further
seduce us into assimilation or as a
tokenization of Jewish culture. One could
very well ask where your so-called
interest was during the more sacred and .
relevant events of the Jewish calendar!

culture. They are an unfortunate and
devastating response to life in a society
where the dominant culture is a direct
negation of Jewish culture.
Consequently, this most "joyous" of
seasons is not so joyous for many Jews.
It is a time of year when many Jews fmd
themselves in an uncomfortable and
painful parad()x. For on the one hand, it
is a time when Jews can feel most
poignantly our , minority status, our
insignificance and invisibility. It is an
overwhelming time when the constant

In northern Europe, when the days
became shorter and the sun was weak
and distant, Teutonic peoples met on the
fust day· of the new year at winter
solstice to honor Woden (also Odin),
their "All-Father". Following the harvest,
animals were slaughtered to provide meat
for the remaining winter, and great
bonfues were built to give the sun god
strength. In Britain the night long vigil
known as modra niht ("Mother's night")
was observed, where feasting and
bonfireS were also part of ritual.
Saturnalia was observed by the
Romans at this same season. to honor
Saturn, their god of agriculture.

U'''L~U''. candles were lit and fruit tied to
the branches as offerings to their gods.
The Saxons in Britain used holly, ivy,
and bay in their winter observances.
All of these elements have become
an integral part of our perception of
Christmas. While Christians celebrate it
as the day of the Christ's nativity. those
who do not share in this aspect of the
holiday can look beyond its modem
interpretation to earlier traditions, some of
which are now 4,000 years old. Here can
be found a universal celebration of the
renewal of light and the rejuvenation of
hope for the new year. an afftrmation
that all things can be made anew.

Constantine converted to Christianity,
December 2S was determined by the
Roman chUrch authorities as the most
"probable" date.
Several reasons are evident for the ·
placement of the Christ Child's birthday
in mid-winter. Many of the Roman
soldiers were adherents to Mithraism. a
religion which had been a strong rival to
Christianity up until Constantine's
conversion. Its most important feast day.
Dies Solas Invicti Nat; ("Birth of the
Unconquered Sun") was held on
December 25. Saturnalia was also a
major Roman festival to consider. The
Jewish Feast of Dedication was observed
at this time as well, commemorating the
cleansing of the temple after its
profanation by Antiochus Epiphanus in
the second century, and was regarded as
one of the most important Jewish sacred
days.
Eventually many of the symbols
from these earlier, "pagan" celebrations
were also incorporated into the Christian
tradition. Rather than antagonize new
converts by eliminating old customs, a
Christian association was made with these
older observances and a sacred meaning
was placed on their icons. Thus
Christmas became an observance both .
religious and secular, at sometimes
reverent, at others festive.
We can see that the traditions of
exchanging gifts and the ornamental use
of winter flowers and green boughs
belong to the Romans; the lighting of
fireS and candles had a universal puxpose
in driving away the forces of darkness
and reviving the strength of the sun. The
use of mistletoe, said by Christians to
represent the purity and everlasting life of
the Christ Child in its white berries and
leaves, was once the sacred plant of the
Druids in Gaul and Britain. The
evergreen or fu tree, one of the few
plants to retain its foliage through the
winter, also was regarded with reverence
