Some of the 300 people who
gathered last Saturday at Sylvester
Park and marched on the Armory to
protest U.S. Involvement In the
Middle East. The protest organizers
are already planning a protest for
the day after the United States takes
military action against Iraq. photo by

This is Page 16, Take 2. This bulletin board idea is catching on slowly. We don't want to make rules, but there's some things we have to say.
First, no monetary items, please. That's the advertising department (x6054). And please use the little 2-1/2" white squares; that's so everybody
has a chance. And try to use a good dark and heavy pen so the printer can pick up your note. (Red felt tips work okay, but we can't be
responsible for faded words.) Scribble away. We're at Library 2510, remember? That's to the left of the Computer Center.
Author's Note: This is for the woman about
whom so many poems could have been written
and so few were. This is for the woman I
lost when I realized I had died. That the
wild-eyed had become ridgid <sic>. It is
of her that nostalgia holds my whole world
in suspension. This is a poem written before
the Earth was last where it is now but she
never saw.
Reflections
A mirror is an unpleasant thing to be,
trapped by my own hand
in the silvery folds of another's expectations
no more than an appearance at length, one who worships not the sun
but the frequent darkness that hides away my naked self.
organs and hair
darkness In silence meet
we breathe with sieves
organic sounds,
you're around me so ocean tight
I'm skin screaming
I'm hair wielding .
breath soft screams
we feed
orgasm fears
impossible touches for the earth to preserve
organism, seeds
rocks never breathe
fingertips and lips
are touch
towers exist in mountains.
for you
for breathe me
Roating away from you, burning leaves on the smoke-filled wind
past tendrils of the deep rooted mountains,
beyond the distant horizon, above the swaying grain
trying all my life for the brass ring on the carousel of time,
horses nostrils cold and flared
against the fresh morning air of youth,
reaching for eternity, forever beyond my grasp.
Memories of a yestertime, distant places beyond the reflections
within the deep moonlit pools of your eyes,
so deep I can almost see the whirlpools
eddying from side to side
as you tUt your head to mine
your tongue reaching for my soul
words will not express what I mean to say,
being only meaningless illusions but the intent behind them is real,
drifting thoughts of autumn smoke against your reflection
in the mirror
that is my soul
Scott C. Hungerford

I am delicate and sensitive:
a poet through and through.
My thoughts are scrubbly-bubblies
And this is my warning to you:
To change my werds; to edit my thoughts . . .
How dare you! Scurvy spot!
You deign to think you're better
Just because you've read alot?
Well you skill are just substandard, pig!

Or you shall certainly never have
A poet who can rite as good as I can.

Racism resurfaces
by Tedd KeUeber
A group of 23 faculty, students, and
staff have released a document charging
the academic deans, an unnamed
administrator, and Interim Provost Russell
Lidman with mishandling il sexual
harassment case. The group also believe
the adminiSlration is punishing faculty
member Ryo Imamura for fighting on the
behalf of students and campus-wide
accountability. The document includes
five demands (see below).
Lidman 3Ild the academic deans felt
it was inappropriate to comment on the
document because' it deals with personnel
issues.
An investigative repon on the
handling of the sexual harassment case is
being prepared by Internal Auditor and
Interim Affirmative Action Officer
Masaharu Jones.

The vultures are at it again. Another
invasion watch by the well-seasoned war
correspondents, seasoned vetemns of
Vietnam, Beirut, Panama, and Nicaragua.
A worn-out scene, hovering over the
terrain, this time the desen, waiting for
the corpses. When? Some say this week-George needs to show his hand before
the November 6 elections. A French
newspaper broke with the big story:
Under the new moon--Operation Night
Camel-·mid-November--estimated
casualties: 20,000 American lives. A chief
of staff fired. He admitted to planning
the leveling of Baghdad. Torey Jendson,
a wen known minister of angst
commented, "Such a shame--a11 that
antiquity jU8t gone, illed on."
Three hundred poople gathered last
Saturday to protest U.S. involvement in
the Middle East. Two times the troops
are stationed in Saudi Arabia then at any
time in Vietnam. Sixty thousand
Americans died in Vietnam. The
government forgot to figure how many
Arabs will die. When 22 Palestinians died
last week in Jerusalem, the Israeli
government said they deserved it. One
Palestinian went on a rampage. He
stabbed a women and two men with a
15-inch knife. They were Jews. The
Israeli government closed the city to
Arabs. I feel sick today, and I no longer
feel well enough to repon all this in a
straightforward analytical manner.
A sailor wrote in his column in The
Seattle Times that he was bored with the
routine and homesick. Another soldier, a
marine named Jeff Patterson. sat down on
the tarmac in Hawaii--refusing to- fight
"another imperialist war." A reservist
shouted at me from the armory "Don't
worry about being drafted. There's a glut
of men in the military." I didn't want to
pick a fight. I wanted to respect his
position--he wasn't my enemy_ But a
thought of who would replace 20,000
dead in the first four days Operation
Night Camel stayed in my mind and
escaped out of an undisciplined mouth.
Maybe 20,000 is pan of the glut.
Some campesino was dragged out of
his hut and shot today somewhere in
central America I don't know where. No
one will repon it. They are at the hip
scene waiting for American blood to be
spilled in the desert
'This country is not
the same as preVietnam ... "
Some of the protesters chanted "stop
U.S. imperialism--U.S. out of the world."-a familiar solution to a familiar problem.
On Saturday . night NBC news reponed
the protests that occmred around the
country and the world. They did a special
segment on how strong the opposition is.
Comparisons to Vietnam abounded. Many
things are the same. In fact, the sameness
could easily depress one to the point of
indifference. Except the image of
chemical warfare and the nuclear
retaliatior. ..re completely unacceptable_
My mind refuses to imagine it.
This country is the not the same as
pre-Vietnam--more people know and
more poople are involved now than at the
stan of that war. More people are
determined to make a difference.
At the demonstration plans were
announced for the day of the invasions-actually the morning after. Meet at the
Evergreen's Red Square at noon. At 6
pm meet at the Federal Building
downtown. Timothy Hull, a performer
at the protest, expressed shock that the
organizers were actually thinking in terms
of an war. "It doesn't seem real to me."
I can't believe it either. The cycle swings
so fast.
Thomas Fletcher. staff writer. is

this week_
Five demands follow accusations of racism
..
1) The deans and other administrative
officers must adhere to the Sexual
Harassment Policy for the protection of
everyone, especially the students.
2) The deans mU8t retract their 9/10
letter to Imamura charging him with
violating the Social Contract and stop
harassing him for doing what all faculty
members. should do in similar situations.
3) The administration must investigate
the possibility of racial discrimination.
We have strong reason to believe that
preferential
white
faculty
receive
treaUnent and support Seveml faculty of
color have felt unfairly and insensitively
treated by administrative officers,
panicularly by the Academic Deans.
And we believe with adequate cause
that many faculty of color have been
fired or asked to leave Evergreen for
various reasons whereas not one white
faculty has although many have received
warnings behind closed doors. It was jU81
four years ago that, when the deans tried
to fue two faculty of color (one Black.
the other Native American), an
administrative judge from off-campus
ruled in favor of the faculty of color
because the deans themselves had failed
to adhere to the Evergreen evaluation and
reappointment!
nonreappointment
procedures. Many students know of the
good 01' boys network among the deans
and faculty, and often go to the faculty
of color' for help with harassment issues_
Then the faculty of color get blamed and
harassed for insisting on fair and
supponive treatment of the students. This
has got to stop.
4) The administration mU8t forbid
secret files on faculty (as well as students
and staff). Faculty, staff, and students
should have open access to their official
files. And administrative officers should
not be able to silently add and remove
file contents at their' own whim or in
their own interests.
. 5) The administration must create an
ombudsman committee composed of
faculty, staff, and students to hear and
adjudicate situations where faculty have
complaints against the deans and other
administrative officials. The committee
must have racial and gender balance with
each member being required to have had
substantial racism and sexism training.
Among the students, faculty, and staff
members who signed the document
containing these demands were: Laura Y.
GU8tavson, Mei-Li Hensen, Steven J.
Luark. Lynne Palmer, Bev Klinkel, Eileen
Keller, Emily Bennett, Jabulile Dayton.

Our campus recycling program is
once again in full swing. To ensure its
successful
operation
and
eventual
expansion, it is necessary that we all
wor1c together to facilitate the job of
those folks who kindly take away our
recyclables. This means that a certain
amount of involvement and awareness is
required by us, when we are recycling.
To make recycling as efficient as
possible it is very important to separate
our recyclables from our garbage, and
then make $ure we deposit them in the
appropriately marked receptacle. For
glass, please empty or wash your
container and then sort by color. Please
do not stack your case full of bottles by
the barrel and expect someone else to
deal with it, this is not in the interest of
efficiency. For alwninwn, please empty
nrst, crush if possible and place in the
appropriate bin. With tin, again please
wash out the food remains, then it is
necessary to remove the label and flatten
the can. Cardboard needs to be flattened
and must be free of plastic or wax
coatings. Newspaper and mixed paper
should be free of food wastes and again
wax free.

The South Puget Environmental
Clearinghouse--a
six-month-old
environmental
resource
center
in
downtown Olympia run entirely by
volunteers--will celebrate its first six
months by opening its doors to the
community Friday, October 26 from 5:307 pm. Coordinators of SPEECH's various
projects will be available for questions at
this Open House, while visitors will have
an opportunity to mingle with diverse
of
the
south
Sound's
members
environmental community over snacks
and drinks.
SPEECH has two main goals. First,
it seeks to act as an environmental
clearinghouse
by
collecting
and
disseminating
information
on
environmental
issues
and
local
environment-related activities. Second, it
provides access for local environmental
and neighborhood groups to substantive
resources like meeting space, copy
machine, and bulk mail pennits.
SPEECH has taken impressive strides
toward meeting its goals since its
founding in early April. It has collected
a broad range of resources, housed
meetings of a number of groups,
produced five issues of the monthly
newsletter "Green Pages" (circulation over
600), and established committees to
produce a "Green Guide" to the South
Sound and to facilitate environmental
education in local schools and at local
events.
Perhaps most importantly, it has kept
its storefront office open and accessible
to the community. Countless pedestrians
have perused SPEECH's window for
exhibits on the Nisqual1y Valley Delta
and the timber crisis, while the curious
have been able to have questions
answered--and inspired--by conversations
with volunteers staffmg the office.
As a volunteer-led organization,
SPEECH is in constant need of one of
our most precious natural resources:
energetic, creative volunteers. Besides
staffmg the office, volunteers can
coordinate such projects as:
-collecting information for a second
edition of the Green Guide;
-identifying environmentally responsible
local elected officials, political candidates
and businesses;
-analyzing environmental legislation and
creating a "legislative hotline" phone
recorder message;
·setting up a Friday evening schedule of
lectures and
entenairiment, a Sunday schedule of field
trips to threatened local areas, and/or a
"green
bag"
weekday
lWlch-time
discussion series;
-using artistic talents in producing videos,
designing T-shirts and bumper stickers
and drawing murals;
-designing exhibits for schoolchildren's
field trips;
-researching answers to diverse questions
about environmental issues;
-writing articles, taking photographs, or
helping produce and distribute the
newsletter;
-organizing SPEECH's resources, from
making a card catalog to designing a
"Book Report" notebook of I-page
reports.

stations are located at the loading docks
in the CAB, Library, and Lab #1. Paper,
glass, alwninum, cardboard, and tin all
can be recycled here. Throughout the
main buildings there are red recycling
barrels for your glass, aluminwn, and tin.
Gray barrels are also present for your
mixed paper. In housing there are three
recycling stations, in the courtyard below
A-donn, behind the community center,
and at the recycling shed in Modular
Housing. Paper recycling is not available
in housing yet so paper should be
brought down to the paper bins at the
CAB loading dock.
Everybody is encouraged to minimize
their disposal of solid waste by
maximizing the full potential of this
program. Please keep in mind that the
time the recycling staff has to devote to
cleaning up the messes of those who are
choosing not to recycle properly is less
time they have for improving the
efficiency and comprehensiveness of our
recycling effort. please do all you can to
make Evergreen's recycling program as
good as it can be, think about what you
are doing, when you decide to recycle.

WASHINGTON--Govemor
Gardner has proposed establishing a
stalewide system for identifying and
monitoring hate crimes in the state of
Washington. Denouncing the recent rash
of hate crimes that have occurred in this
stale and across the country, he
announced that he will ask the 1991
Legislature to establish a central
repository for collecting information about
crimes motivated by bigotry based on
race,
sexual
orientation,
religious
affiliation, or disability.
The state's current law on malicious
harassment does not include those
victimized because of their sexual
orientation. Gardner's proposal would
expand the law to apply to them too, and
it would provide training for law
enforcement official on how to identify
such crimes.
"When Americans label and distrust
each other because of their religion, their
color or their sexual orientation, our
democracy is in mortal danger... and the

Cultural caucuses forming soon
by Larry Jefferson and Raquel Salinas
Hey
everybody,
the
Student
qovernment is alive and kicking. We are
getting started in a few weeks. Heres the
plan!
First, all Cultural Caucus meetings
will be scheduled in two weeks,
November 5-9. (This gives all students a
chance to know about them.) At these
meetings students will decide how their
meetings will be run, (who will facilitate,
the decision process, consensus, 213 vote),
who their representatives are, and what
issues they hope to address. All caucus
meetings are open for all students to
attend. However, the members of each
caucus cast the VOtel!.
Candidates for at-large positions may
drop off letters of intent (1-2 pages) at
the Student Government Office. These
letters should address why you want to
be involved, your ideas on what student
government should accomplish, and
anything else you think would be
appropriate for students to know about
you.
Ayers and posters will be made to
annoooce the exact meeting times of the
caucuses in two weeks. Letters of intent
that are received will be placed on the
Student Governance billboard for students
Nicaraguan friends visit Olympia
to read outside the Interim Goverment
Center across the hall from the bookstore.
These are the first baby steps of our
fledgling governance, but with each
passing day it will grow to become the
mature, strong, and happening place that
we want our governance to be.
More Power to ya.
Larry Jefferson and Raquel Salinas
are the student governance coordinators.

Santo Tomas, Nicaragua, is a town of
15,000 lying midway between the capital
city, Managua, and the tropical rain
forests of the east
The green hills
surrounding the town are dotted with beef
and dairy cattle and small com and bean
fields. It is a place very far away from
Northwest Washington, and yet you might
visit there someday. This region is seen
by a growing group of people in
Thurston County as our "sister."
The sisterhood is strongly felt by
several residents of Thurston COooty who
have already spent time in the Santo
Tomas region.
"I arrived there as a
Investigation of mishandled sexual harassment complaint
harassment from cover
I
controversy started last May when two
female students approached Imamura
about possible sexual harassment by
another faculty. Imamura. ·having no
direct knowledge of the harassment, went
to an administrator with the complaint,
according to the document. The document
indicates that Imamura was told by the
administrator that she was the correct
person to handle sexual harassment
claims between students and faculty .
"... the Mfinnative
Action office is the
only office
responsible for
investigating sexual
harassment cases
between faculty and
students. "
Jones said the Affirmative Action
office is the only office responsible for
investigating sexual harassment cases
between faculty and students.
An
unnamed
academic
dean,
according to the document, told Imamura
he was conducting an investigation into
the
sexual
harassment
Imamura,
respecting the confidentiality of the
students, did not give the dean the names
of the students, but did relate details of
th.~ students' harassment complaints, says
the document
On August 29 Lidman sent a
memorandum to Imamura and the faculty
alleged to have sexually harassed the
studen~s.
Imamura
found
the
memora'ldu;n "damaging and threatening."
He protes!J~ and was able to get Lidman
to change three points in the
memorandum.
·First, the memorandum claimed the
dean was unable to contact one of
students who had come to Imamura.
However, the memorandum goes on to
state that the academic dean learned the
student had no knowledge of sexual
misconduct on the part of the faculty in
question. Lidman agreed to rewrite the
memorandum to say the academic dean
learned from tbe administrator that the
stullent prest'nted no information about
"In response to their
'unprofessional and
unethical' actions,
Imamura wrote
'strongly worded
personal and private
letters' to the
administrator and
the academiC dean~ "
the alleged harassment to her.
·SeCond, Imamura objected to the
passage that read: "It is the conclusion
that there was not sufficient evidence
presented to us to suggest that this is not
a matter that should have been brought
to the attention of college authorities."
Lidman agreed to drop this passage
entirely.
·Third, Imamura objected to the
passage in the memorandum stating, "a
copy of this letter will be placed in your
personal me." The document signatories
felt nIing a copy of the memorandum
was threatening because it could be used
against Imamura should administration
ever want to act against him. Lidman
agreed to change the passage to, "A copy
of this letter will be filed."
The two students who had initially
contacted
Imamura
about
sexual
harassment did not talk with the
administrator or the academic dean about
the specifics of the sexual harassment,
nor did they formally press charges,
according to the document.
In response to their "unprofessional
and ooethical" actions, Imamura wrote
"strongly worded personal and private
letters" to the administrator and the
academic
dean
"expressing
his
disapproval in no uncertain terms~"
according to the document. The academic
dean showed the document to the other
six academic deans and together they
responded to Imamura on September 10.
'The document
signatories believe
the academic dean
violated the Social
Contract... "
The document signatories believe the
academic dean violated the Social
Contract when he "rallied" the group of his file in the interim provost's offiCe,
seven

by
academic deans to respond to Imamura's fOood
administrative officers about him. Mter

According to the document the letter asking for copies of the letters, he was
from the deans states, "We believe . told that the unnamed academic dean and
[Imamura's personal letter to the dean] is another administrator had removed three

Finally, the document signatories are

which should characterize communication "seriously concerned" that Lidman

their actions in terms of raci~ and gender against the faculty alleged to have
stereotypes. We also object to the sexually harassed the students when no

officer about the harassment Even though

Another s~ment in I~ura's the clause was invoked, the faculty
memo to which the deans objeCted membet was not fired according to Jones.
(according to the document) says, "Your

manipulation of facuUy of color and
failure to protect the fundamental rights
of women students will not be tolerated
any longer."

News Release
Miguel Sucuqui is Secretary of the
Executive Board of the Rooujel Junam
Cooocil of Economic Communities
(CERJ), and will speak on campus
November 5 (see below). Runujel Jooam
means "All Are Equal" in the Quiche
Indian language. The CERJ is a
predominantly indigenous human rights
organization based in the province of EI
Quiche, Guatemala.
The CERJ was founded in 1988 to
struggle for the hwnan rights of
Guatemala's indigenous peoples and to
denounce human rights violations. The
group's work is currently focused on
ending the forced participation of
Guatemalan Indians in the Civil Defense
Patrols, in which indigenous men and
boys are compelled to go on military
patrol, gather intelligence, and perform
manual labor for the Guatemalan army,
all without pay. Civil patrol service
means less time to work, therefore less
income, for Guatemalan families who are
already struggling to survive. The army
enforces mandatory service in the patrols
through
beatings,
death
threats,
"disappearances," and killings. Such
involootary service is in direct violation
of the Guatemalan constitution. The civil
patrol system and the massive presence
of the Guatemalan army throughout the
highlands serve as strong deterrents to
any form of political organizing.
The work of the group is undenaken
at great risk to the group's members and
leaders. According ~ the Guatemalan
Human Rights Commission/USA, 11
CERJ members have been killed or
disappeared since 1988.
Tile CERJ's continued ability to
organize in a region where no human
rights group has ever dared to operate
has won them international recognition.
In May 1989, the well-known U.S.
human rights monitor Americas Watch
devoted an entire repon to the CERJ,
terming them "Guatemala's flrst-ever
rural human rights and legal aid office."
And on September 13, CERJ founder
Amilcar Mendez was named the recipient
of the 1990 Roben F. Kennedy Human
Rights Award.
Nine distinct Mayan Indian ethnic
groups are represented in the CERJ,
including Quiches, Cakchiquels, Mams,
Pocomans, Kekchis, Pocomchis, Chonis,
Ixils, and Tzuthils.
Miguel Sucuqui is a Quiche Indian
and speaks both Quiche and Spanish (his
talks in Olympia will be translated from
Spanish to English). He is 36 years old,
Catholic, and is married with several
children. As a Quiche Indian he brings a
strong indigenous perspective to his
human rights work. A farmworker by
trade, he identifies strongly with the
realities of other farmworlcers in the
highlands region of Guatemala, the area
hardest
hit
by
the
military
counterinsurgency programs. Mr. Sucuqui
recently travelled to Costa Rica as a
delegate of the CERJ to participate in a
human rights conference and seminar.
This is his first visit to the United States.
Mr. SucUi/ui will visit Olympia on
Monday, November 5. He wili be
representing the CERJ as part of a
Northwest tour to meet wjth North
Americans. He will speak in the
Evergreen Library lobby at noon and at
Saint John's Episcopal Clwrch (20th and
Capitol Way) at 7 pm.
For more information about the tour
or about upcoming Olympia events related
to Guatemala, please contact Susan
Manning at 956-0547 or Rob Haberman

drove up to SeaTac airpon to welcome
the first delegation of visitors from Santo
Tomas. "Bienvenidos, amigos," said their
sign, "Welcome, friends." The "amigos"
are Virgilio Bravo Plata, Juana Ruiz
Taleno and Padre Ignacio Gonzalez.
Bravo Plata is a high school teacher
of history, economics and physical
education. He coaches the kids' league
baseball teams that received the
equipment last year. Committed to the
goals of the Sandinista revolution, he
spent four years in the army fighting the
Contra and is now involved in the
restructuring of the Sandinista party.
Ruiz Taleno is a high school senior
who will be the fIrst in her family to
graduate. They are dairy farmers who
abandoned their farm and moved to Santo
Tomas after being attacked by the
Contras in 1986. As a member of the
Sandinista youth organization, Ruiz
Taleno was active in the Feb. 25 election
campaign. She also volunteers at the
local clinic.
Padre Ignacio Gonzalez, often
described as "a saint" by those who know
him, is a Colombian Montfon Missionary.
He has worked in the Santo Tomas area
for ten years, tending rural parishes, war
refugees, and a variety of commooity
development projects. As a liberation
theologian, his primary commitment is
working with the poor. This calling has
led him to a life of great risk and
inspiration.
Bringing "Tomasinos" to Thurston
COooty has been a dream common to
many who have visited Santo Tomas.
Snyder recal1s speeches made at the
farewell dinner when the Brigade was
leaving Nicaragua.
"People said they
appreciated our work, but our real job
was to go back home and tell the truth
about what was really going on in
Nicaragua. They believed people in our
hometowns would listen. So I've been
telling my stories and showing my slides.
And people do listen. But I've often
thought how much more they'd listen if
the
stories
were
coming
from
Nicaraguans."
The three delegates from Nicaragua
will be in the Puget Sound area ootil
November 12. During that time they will
stay in people's homes and visit schools
and community and religious groups.
A public educational event is
planned for November 7, 7:00pm at the
Olympia Timberland Library. The topic
is, "Understanding the Changes in
Nicaragua:
Personal Analysis by
Nicaraguans." There will be refreshments
and a shon slideshow.

Thurston/Santo Tomas Sister County
Association or about the Nicaraguan
delegation's itinerary, please call Jean

An Evergreen sllldent rescued a cat
from a tree in the modular housing area
on the afternoon of Saturday October 13.
The cat had been stranded in the tree
since 6 o'ciock the previous day. Peter
Fitzgibbons, a first-year sllldent at TESC,
undertook
the
30-minute
rescue
procedure.
With the assistance of two fellow
students, Fitzgibbons was able to climb to
the cat, which was 25 feet above the
ground.
"I didn't really consider the
height, until I had to make the climb
down." Mter roughly 15 minutes of
coaxing he was finally able to. calm the
cat enougb for the recovery to be made.
Fitzgibbons placed the cat into an Envirotote from the campus bookstore for his
descent.
"It was heartwarming to see such an
act of valor and compassion in this age
of selfishness and egoism," remarked one
onlooker. Perhaps it was best said by
Anna Relova, "Peter is right on!
Seriously, a guy allergic to cats saves
one. " When asked about bis allergy,
Fitzgibbons swiftly remarked that "it was
better than reading about the history of
modern Ireland."
The ca., named "It," suffered no
injuries and seemed relatively unshaken
for having spent over 15 hours in a tree.
Rebecca finds people concerned with
the differnce between the words 'female'
and 'woman' offensive.

An Evergreen student rescued a cat
from a tree in the modular housing area
on the afternoon of Saturday October 13.
The cat had been stranded in the tree
since 6 o'ciock the previous day. Peter
Fitzgibbons, a first-year student at TESC,
undenook
the
30-minute
rescue
procedure.
With the assistance of two fellow
students, Fitzgibbons was able to climb to
the cat, which was 25 feet above the
ground.
"I dido't really consider the
height, until I had to make the climb
down. " After roughly 15 minutes of
coaxing he was finally able to calm the
cat enough for the recovery to be made.
Fitzgibbons placed the cat into an Envirotote from the campus bookstore for his
descent
"Il was heartwarming to see. such an
act of valor and compassion in this age
of selfishness and egoism," remarked one
onlooker. Perhaps it was best said by
Anna Relova, "Peter is right on!
Seriously, a guy allergic to cats saves
one. " When asked about his allergy,
Fitzgibbons swiftly remarked that "it was
better than reading about the history of
modern Ireland."
The ca~ named "It," suffered no
injuries and seemed relatively unshaken
for having spent over 15 hours in a tree.
Rebecca finds people concerned with
the difJernce between the words 'female'
and 'woman' offensive.

Commitment required for freedom
by Paul Slusher
It is past midnight and the sky has
been darkened by the nighl. Somewhere
in the distance a man hears terrible
screams. He barrels his way through the
blackness until he reaches the spot where
the screams are coming from.
A largely built man has his female
victim pinned to the earth. Although it is
dark. the passerby can ascertain that
blood is running down the side of her
head. Her clothes are ripped. and the
sudden realization that she is being raped
causes the passerby's heart to race.
However. this passerby is no ordinary
passerby. He is one whom so adamantly
supports non-violence that his values
prevent him from intervening with
violence. The rapist realizes that this
passerby is of no real threat to his
violent
endeavors.
and
therefore
continues. unabated.
Is this a realistic or even rational
scenario? Believe it or not. a similiar
mentality exists ... here at Evergreen! The
sad reality is that many of the white.
middle·dass students here have adopted
such an attitude when it pertains to U.S.
foreign policy. Confused? Angered? Read
on, and I'll explain.
Let's examine the Farabundi Marti
National Liberation Front (FMLN), which
is a group that is fighting a very bloody
and costly war with the existing Bushbacked government of EI Salvador. We
could use the ANC (in South Africa) or
even the PLO (in Palestine) as further
examples. However, let's keep this
simple.
The FMLN is seen by many
"educated" minds as a violent terrorist
group, among other things. It is the case,
however, that sheltered minds often
formulate dangerously misinformed and
sheltered thoughts.
"--but I've heard that the FMLN is
communist"
"I can't suppon violence, but sure, I
support freedom and democracy."
"Yeah, I suppon justice, but isn't
there another way?"
Well, let's see. Suppose that the
passerby simply said, "Hey man. I think
that what you are doing is wrong."
Would the rapist simply stand up, button
up his trousers and say, "You know ... you
are right. In fact. I'm gonna give up
raping young women right now. Thanks
a lot man I feel so mnrh ....tt.. r " .........
myself." That scenario is about as like.ly
as the moon crash landing on O~ymPI8·
Yet these "experts on ethics" claim .that
non-violence is the only way to . achieve
freedom. Such idealistic perspectlves can
only be sponed by the weal~y, the
privileged, the sheltered, and the ignorant.
And it is just such a perspective that
has allowed the Reagan and Bush
administrations to send more than $1
million a day over the last 10 years to a
government that has killed somewhere
between 50,000-60,000 of its own people.
El Salvador has suffered much from
U.S. intervention and the fascist regime
that has been allowed to exist. The
deforesuition rate over the last IO years is
phenomenal. Amnesty International, a
human rights group, has even condemned
the Cristiani government of EI Salvador.
Year after year the CIA is training
the soldiers, equipping them with hightech weaponry, and turning them onto
"anti-communist warfare." This can be
roughly translated as govemmentsponsored terror, with no relief in sight.
That is unless the people suddenly give
up the struggle for freedom and go back
to the fields for pennies a day. However,
that doesn't seem very likely. Especially
in a country where free speech is a joke,
and union leaders, nuns, and priests are
jailed, shot, or tonured. Yes, the fight
will undoubtedly continue. And I hope
that it does.
No, instead the bloody woman of El
Salvador will cry for help as she fights
for her life. Many are standing nearby,
and many see the horror. Yet none will
help. That is, except for the FMLN, and
a very smaIl minority of people
throughout the world. As El Salvador
bleeds, our middle to lower middle-class
population here at Evergreen seems
unwilling or unable to understand that
sometimes it takes a fist to stop a fist.
Except for a small sector of Evergreen,
many stand idly by, and whisper lin
occasioinal "hey, stop it." AIl this is
suprising, considering that Evergreen is
the sister school to the war ravished
University of El Salvador.
Dan Ebner, the Director of the New
Covenant Jutice and Peace Center, who
recently traveled to the region to examine
the situation, said that the message of the
area is quite clear. "We want peace. We
do not want unnecesary bloodshed. But if
we must fight, we willi And we will
win...but we want peace."
It is time that all these Greeners
started waking up to some serious reality.
My hat (so to speak) is off to those who
struggle to help the FMLN, and other
strong-handed freedom seekers. I am
struck with a furrowed brow, however,
when I hear self-proclaimed "liber41s"
exclaim that they suppon freedom in El
Salvador... but not the FMLN. That is like
saying "I support eating, but not food."

S tate socialist countries, what is left of

A good argument can be made that
a healthy capitalist economy is the only

A few bold radicals within our ranks

tried.
However,
most

Instead we attempt
to reconcile the contradictions of

often well beyond midnight I cower in a
corner with my calculator and dummy
sheets chanting my cartoon layout mantra;
"No, no, no! If it gets shrunk to 50%,
then it will be unreadable. I can't, I
can'tI" Somehow, I get it right and the
comics page all fits together like some
Salvador Dali jigsaw puzzle and just
about every cartoon submiued gets
published.
I Sliy "just about" because there are
cartoons that cannot be published. This is
not an editorial decision. "Editing" is
something that I do not believe should
occur in the cartoon world. Whether or
not a cartoon gets published is based
purely on physical considerations. If a
cartoon is drawn very, very large, it must
be reduced to fit on the page and if the
lettering is unreadable at that reduction,
then I can't print it. That's about iL
But things have really gotten out of
hand Cartoonists are coming out of the
woodwork and we have been flooded
with truckloads of good cartoons.
Until now, I have been trying to keep
all the submiued cartoons on the page.
But, with last year's cartoonists and new
cartoonists coming in, and the editors
refusing to include a free magnifying
glass with each issue, I have to make
some kind of decisions on which cartoons
get in which issue.
These are the decisions I made and
the rationale behind them. Highest

Evergreen
students who are not professionally
published outside of Evergreen. Since the
paper, like the rest of Evergreen, is a
learning
environment,
professional
cartoonists should not be prioritized over
amateurs. Alumni were felt to have a
greater access to the real world of
published cartooning than full-time
students and so they, too, are not high
priority. All groups other than students,

Death of Hearald, The Future of
Evergreen, Ghoul's World, and Strip.
What it also includes is a guest cartoon
that will appear every week, permitiing
occasional contributors a chance to be
published as well.
As always. anyone who wishes to

I went to the constituents on this one.
Took a Marantz tape recorder which was
supposed to have a battery in it but
didn,' t, and tramped around the campus
asking people, "wluu-was your most
memorable Halloween," variaJions on that
theme. The 1UlIfIl!S in the following
accounts have been removed or changed,
but all accounts are real and (so far as [
can determine) truthful. Students of
various vintages and alumni are
represented; interviews took place over
the week of October 14-20. I thank. all
the participants for the time and
memories; I don't thank Media Loan for
saying I could have the thing two days.
but in fairness, the staff probably doesn't
trIJJU the policy, you'll get my fine money
anyway. Ghou/ster roll call, count off

Corporate America's environmental ethic
by Mark Abner
EnvironmentaIism is in deep trouble.
Last Wednesday's panel discussion
among seven local and national
environmental organizations, from the
Siena Club to Earth First!, was typical
of most green gatherings. Nine white,
educat¢,
middle
class
obviously
pro(essionals shared their personal
environmental philosophies and their
respective organizations' agendas and
tactics.
The event was successful, I suppose,
but it was a painful reminder of why
environmentalists "are getting our butts
kicked swiftly and fmnly" --as the
representative from Earth First! bluntly
and accurately reminded us. There are
reasons that our hindmost parts are often
sore and I would like to share with you
what I believe is a relatively overlooked
source of polarization .within the
American environmental community.
Lack of Vision. Have you ever tried
of
what
an
to
really
think
environmentally-sO\lfld future would be,
and how an economy could function to
simultaneously provide people with a
decent standard of living and protect the
environment? I think most people,
including myself, enter into environmental
politics with only a vague idea of a
functional, envirorunentally sustainable
future that we can work toward. We have
hazy. unsolidified, largely unarticulated
dreams of a son of green future where
the water is clear, the air is fresh, and
pretty animals and plants are. left alone.
Perhaps other people enter into the
debate after panicularly meaningful
natural areas are drastically altered or
their health is threatened by pollution of
one sort or another. The environmental
movement has drifted along, for a very
long time, reacting on a case-by-case
basis, never defining in clear terms what
it ultimately wants or how an
environmentally sound future would look.
Our popularity and effectiveness rise
and fall according to external factors,
including the health of the economy and
the urgency of other concerns besides the
environment We react to the actions of
others rather than undenake the more
difficult job of outlining a future that we
can agree to work toward. The situatioo
is understandable given the enormity of
the task. The United States is, without
doubt, the most unrestrained capitalist

.. .I don't remember my most
memorable Halloween, I was too small.
I ran into a tree because my mask got a
little crooked, so I go dancing off this
porch and *POW* straight into the tree.
I'm lying on the ground and I'm
screaming, 'cause I'm a little kid, my
candy's all over the place, my dad's kind
of trying hard not to laugh, but at the
same time he doesn't know what to do
'cause it is really funny . And, my sister
decided that there was a problem with
the tree so she came and beat the tree up
with her bag of candy. She's whacking
the ,tree with her candy bag, 'cause it hit
me and knocked me down...
...the best haul I ever got was when
this friend of mine's parents got divorced,
and her dad moved to this apanment
building that had a zillion apartments. I
remember thinking "This is too easy, we
must be ' cheating," --we all ' got huge bags
of candy, it was so incredible. 500
apanments or something, and that was
just out of this world...
...once--after my trick-or-lreating
days--I went to a Halloween party
dressed as a French maid. Little kids got
on the school bus with me heading back
home and staned doing some touchyfeely stuff. It was a church dance, and
there was a lot of touchy-feely at church
things, so everybody was constantly on
the edge of having an orgasm all the
time. When anyone did get around to
sex, it was pretty incredible. The guy J
was after was dressed as a bunny, he had
fluffy zip up the front pajamas with feet
in them, and a hatch in the back .. .l was
rubbing on his thigh for some reason,
was I doing that or was someone else, I
think Sybil [this name has been changed]
was doing it, she was doing it and he
said "You better stop doing that or
something nasty might happen." She was
the backup and I was the standby, I don't
know. I guess ...
... Dreamcon. Dreamcon 2, 1 think it
was.
The
science-fiction/fantasy
convention. They were having a slave
auction, which is where they put people
up on the block and they sell dances.
This year they were doing it for cash,
normally they just do it for credit or jelly
beans or Oreo cookies, but this year all
see slaves, page 3
CPJ unearths uncanny ''Pratt Fragtnent"
by Don Cofrm and David S. Pratt
Editor's note: The cryptic pages that
cryptic
cryptically
encompass this
fragmenl were discovered cryptically last
Tuesday by the jackhammer man who was
digging up the basement of A dorm at oh,
about six in the morning I guess. The
original "papers" are thicknesses of woven
hemp, some still bearing the Zig-7Ag
man's smiling countenance; lhe inscriber
did renderenth lhe fearful vowels and
consonants in the blood of a recently
hanged violent criminal who died in the
electric chair, using a desiccated lemming
for a writing instrument. Why a desiccated
lemming? "A live one acts too I1JJlch like
Bob Todd," reads a cryptic postscript
scribbled cryptically at the bottom of the
page. If anyone call explain the origin of
these supremely irredeemahle pages, they
are urged to jump up and down and shout
"Sned! Sned! lcana voluptuous caca
nosnets vinsensio'" while wearing nothing
but purple Keds. We'll be watching from
the roof with our telescope.
PROLOGUE
Juan Valdez greeted the morning sun
with rampant anticipation. Today marked
the twenty-third anniversary of his coffee
bean export business, and his analyst had
projected that he would reach the tenbillion dollar mark by noon. Today would
be a good day indeed.
The phone rang then, as he surveyed
his coffee bean fields as Alexander had
surveyed his domain in the second
century.
"Buenos diaz," said Juan, "this is
Juan."
"Mr. Valdez!" shouted the voice on
the other end. "come quickly! Come
quickly!"
Juan slammed down the phone. If
Federico, the head foreman and the man
who had just called, though that is was
important enough for Juan to drop all of
his heavy musings and rush to the
fields ..Juan hurried to the fields.
"Yes, Federico. What is the matter
here?" Juan said, out of breath~ from the
brisk walk he had just accomplished
"Mr. Valdez, it is so horrible!"
"What, Federico? What?"
"The workers, they have left and
refuse to work."
"What!" Juan shouted. "What do you
mean?"
"Sir, they say that they found bones
in the earth, under the coffee bean
bushes. They say that the spirits of the
ancient Aztec warriors and priests who
once sacrificed virgins here are coming
back, ready to reclaim this land that is by
rights truly theirs!"
Juan stared at Federico in shock,
horror, and disbelief. How could this be?
Around him, his fields lay in
silence.
Ten years later, in the small town of
Springfield,
Rhode
Island,
Julian
Simmons found himself skidding out of
control on a lonesome stretch of bridge.
As his skull made impact with the sheet
of glass known as the windshield, causing
his head to explode as would an overripe
melon, these final thoughts raced through
his mind:
That's right! The road becomes quite
slick after a perio.d of dry weather
followed by rain ...
Nine years previous to this, Rebecca
McAllister, part-time accounting student
and manager of a small espresso bar in
the local mall, found herself swearing
silently under her breath; this was the
second time this week she'd been late for
work. My boss is going to kill me, she
thought. Oh. but I'm my boss. Never
mind.
The mall was crowed for so early in
the day, and as .she reached her portable
espresso bar, she was confronted by a
grisly sight. A crowd of onlookers had
gathered about her business. On the floor
lay a man-sized plastic bag. Pushing her
way through to the front of the crowd,
she confronted the paramedics there.
. "What happened?" she asked.
"Wanna see?" came the paramedic's
response.
Squeamish but overcome with
cUriosity, she knelt close to the bag and
replied, "Yes, please."
The paramedic slowly pulled down
the zipper of the bag, grinning slyly at
Rebecca in the process. Rebecca only
smiled back wanly.
Beneath the opened zipper lay the
horrible remains of Wilbur, head security
guard at the mall. His face, or what was
left of it being that most of it had melted
off and onto his shirt, was twisted into a
horrible
and
most
uncomfortable
expression that was sure to win Leon, the
photographer for the local daily, a
Pulitzer prize in Journalistic Photography.
But this is beside the point.
"My God!" whispered Rebecca.
"What happened to him?"
"Well, miss," said · the paramedic,
shooting a small stream of peppermint
Binacca into his mouth, "he seems to
have accidentally taken a full stream of
steaming, hot, sultry.....
Here he trailed off, allowing us to
tell you about the foul stench that clung
to the air, but we really shouldn't take
the time to do that anyway.
.....gushing,
artificially
almondflavored milk straight in the face."
Rebecca turned away, her hand to her
mouth. The Binacca hadn't helped. The
men in white lifted the body onto a
gurney and headed towards the awaiting
emergency transport vehicle, so that a
trained professional at a well-staffed
hospital could pronounce poor Wilbur
dead.
After promptly cleaning up the odd
stains on the floor around her stand she
opened for busines~ offering a s~ial
"Wilbur Memorial Espresso Special" of
which many members of the malingering
crowd
Later in the
the proceeds went to Second Day
Harvest, 'cause Christmas was Just
around the comer. I was helping out, and
the last two people to be auctioned off
were of course the auctioneer and ..Ic--I
was the person doing the moneycollecting, and up until I got up there I
think the most expensive person had gone
for sixty dollars, and then this guy that I
didn't even know bought me for a
hundred dollars. Just because of the way
I was dressed, I guess. I had a very,
very, very, low-cut dress, and everybody
kept making jokes about "HUGE tracts of
land." His name was Legbone [this name
has been changed], and he's a wellknown letch, and so he had to outbid
everybody, it's the last bit of the bidding
and everybody's pounding on the table .. "
was flattered beyond all belief, and they
say everybody's famous for at least five
minutes of their life, and I think that was
it for me...
...during the most memorable
Halloween that I ever spent, a bunch of
friends and I went down to the Recital
Hall and recorded a very loud obnoxious
blues song. It was like an assignment for
class. It had three chords. They were a
fIne three chords, though. It was fun.
And Gunter [this name has been
changed] went in drag ...
...The most memorable one would be
when I hung out in the woods drinking
mead out of long drinking horns, and we
were all wearing Celtic garb, and we
roasted this big side of beef over an open
fIre, we had a large blow-up skeleton that
we were hanging from the ·trees, later is
was filled with water and thrown out of
the top floor of the dormitory. But that
night we were the Cult of the Severed
Heads, so it was very important for us to
go and retrieve the pumpkins from
around the neighborhood and pile them
up in large piles, around the campfIre.
And we also had a hut, which we made
out of leaves, stuffed in between
branches, and we found it necessary also
to go in there and smoke a bowl, to
sanctify the hut. It was all in all very
enjoyable. There was a ceremonial dance
around the campfIre, a lot of wiggling, a
lot of thumping, a lot of shuffling in the
leaves, a lot of dope. Defmitely
enjoyable.
.. .1 think best the one would
probably be where I was seriously, in my
own mind, considering the possibility of
B dorm collapsing over the top of me.
There was a rather large gathering
upstairs, I was on the first floor, the
party was on the second floor, and there
were probably 250 people trying to cram
their way into a five-person apartment,
but they had opened up the four-person
aparunenl at the end of the hallway also,
I was, of course, dosed out of my gourd,
and they must have played some song in
which a lot of jumping up and down was
involved in the dance...
.. .1 saw the Butthole Surfers in
Portland and the lead singer was singing
through
a
megaphone
into
the
microphone, a battery-operated police
megaphone, I was on mushrooms, and it
was so loud that afterwards I had to call
my friends for a ride, 'cause I'd been
tripping and I didn't want to drive, and I
thought there was something wrong with
the phone. So I was screaming into it,
"HEY! I'M ALL DONE WITH THE
SHOW BUT I THINK THIS PHONE'S
FUCKED UP!" My ears were fried for a
couple of days. That year I was dressed
up as The Doomsday Pumpkm. I had a
plastic pumpkin on my head, my face
was painted orange and I had black
triangles over my eyes and a big black
pumpkin grin, I had a pair of white
coveralls, bandoliers full of ammunition
and grenades, then a necklace of small
plastic pumpkins around my neck, with
the Seven Deadly Sins, one on each
pumpkin, combat boots, leather gloves
that said TRASH and CRASH, and i had

,
before closing and long after the memory
of the morning's grisly events had faded
from Rebecca's mind, she felt an
apprehensive shock shoot up her left arm
and down into her right foot's big toe as
Tim Hill, star quarterback of the local
high school lacrosse team, came around
a comer into sight. Tim had had his eye
on parts of Rebecca for the past nine
years, and as of late had been pestering
the espresso tycoon 10 be on his arm at
the upcoming senior prom.
"Howdy, sweet tush," said Tim as he
sauntered up to the counter, leg bowed ..
"How 'bout that date? You decided to
come play with the big boy?"
"Well Tim, funny you should mention
that You see," she answered him,
gathering her things about her and
heading for the mall exit, "I have thought
it over. And the answer is yes."
Tim just stared after her, his
adolescent brain material so much flotsam
in a flash flood of hormones.
"See you at eight," she called over
her shoulder as the door swung shut
Dazed, Tim stood still for the next
seven minutes and twenty-two seconds,
until startled by a sound from behind
him. Turning, he was confronted by the
milk steamer from the espresso bar, the
nozzle pointed straight at his throql.
Before he could let out a scream, the
better part of his larynx had melted down
his chest ..

... when I was a little kid we went
up the street to these people's house, and
they had set up a spookhouse in their
house, so that you'd knock on the door
and it'd open itself, they had it on a
piece of string. And you had 10 go aU
the way through their house into their
kitchen to get the candy, and on the way
through they just terrified the shit out of
everybody, all the kids were crying and
running out of the house. They had
bloody people in the bathtub, skelelOns
on the couch that'd sit up and frighten
you, scared the shit out of all of us. My
sister went in the spookhouse with me
and I didn't really get scared, 1 was
trying to act tough, but my siSler got so
scared that she came running out of the
house, fell down the stairs, skinned both
house, fell down the stairs, skinned both
her knees and dumped her candy allover
their driveway. So I had to bring her
home crying and I was bummed out My
dad said "What's going on?" and I said
"The Bundys [this name has been

and Ellie [this name has been changed]
got scared and she ran." So my dad said,
"Oh yeah, well we'll fix them," he put
on a fur coat and a full-headed monkey
mask that his brother sent him from
Aorida, and we had one of those big
brass Bombay taxi horns, that you honk
and it goes OONK. OONK.!, you know,
so my dad put on this fur coat and the
monkey mask and said "C'mon kids," so
four of us kids went following him up

one of the worst horror movies ever? It's
about this guy and they tried to
electrocute him but he could travel
through electricity so he'd go into the
body of the person who electrocuted him.
There was a cool part where he went
into the body of this little girl and she
was running around going AAAAAATH,
EEEEEEEEERGH! We dressed up to go
to the movie, and we started screaming
as soon as they rolled the opening
credits, and we screamed every minute
'til the end of the fIlm. We didn't get
kicked out, the ushers, I don't know, I
think they thought we were cool. I was a
Dead Fairy Princess and my friend was
a Demon Queen, so I was blue and white

SMITH, ABDUL
.. .I haven't had too many memorable
Halloweens, that son of comes from
growing up in Irlcutsk [this state has been
changed]. On the spur of the moment
however I can remember one time when
I went out trick.<lr-treating with· my
friend Chickenwing [this name has been
changed] and my friend Gus [this name
has been changed]. Gus apparently had
spent several thousand dollars on this on
this big exciting costwne, whereas
Chicken wing and I had just, more
sensibly, been creative, you know. Gus
meanwhile got this lizard thing or
something, and he was carrying with him
a nightstick that his bro!her had used in
Abu Dhabi [this location has been
changed] when he was in !he army, he
was !his big green lizard and he had this
cloak on, cost him much dollars, and all
the night we'd go to !hese old people's
houses and they'd always make such a
fuss over Gus' big expensive costume,
and we were feeling, you know, "Where
does this guy get off getting all the
credit?" So we eventually just decided to
ditch him and leave him lost and scared,
not knowing where he was, while we
went back to my house and watched TV.
Probably "It's The Great Pumpkin,
Charlie Brown," that was a great show. I
always loved that one...
1. Bauhaus-"Bela Lugosi's Dead." Get
the live version, not the lame studio 12inch that spawned a thousand t-shirts.
The live one is ten minutes long, has
better guitar playing, better sound, and
you can hear a mike fall over, I think.
Everyday was Halloween for this bunch.
2. Gregory's Funhouse--"It Only Happens
On Halloween." A Big Chief Records
flexi-disk, hard to find but wonhy. A
most
mysterioso
vocalist
(Lurch
Addams?) intones, "My outhouse was
tipped over/and I know the kids who did
it/lbe only thing that breaks my hean is
that I was not in it!" Guitar om and
female chanting too.
3. The Misflts--"Halloween." Haven't
actually played this, to be truthful. Didn't
like "Lucifudge" too much either--I can
just see Danzig in the same room with
the Cult's lead singer. Somewhere
Morrison is beating off and laughing.
... well, it was pretty zany, Abraham
Lincoln [this name has been changed], he 4. Jimmy Cross--"I Want My Baby
had a big trench coat on and he had a Back." Heed not the nay-sayers, this man
chain saw, he took the blade off it so it pumped out a compelling testimony to
couldn't really cut anything, then he the power of love. The production on the

three guys run through the dorm, almost cuts the Hoodoo Gurus doing...

have Abe run after them with a running

So he got put on probation from housing.
And he's the nicest guy in the world. Oh,

up to A dorm and I heard this fight
going on on the fifth floor, and then this

Mr. Abdul Grover Smith was last seen on Halloween night 1967, going
around the comer of 65th and Chapin In Seattle, wearing a purple
bedsheet over his head, a red clown nose over the bedsheet roller
skates, and carrying a Snoopy doll. He did not come in from trlck-ortreating and the discovery, under Abdul's bed, of more than 15 years'
worth of magazines--many with the interview pages heavily underlined,
no less--is subStantial evidence that he did not run away from home.
Abdul's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Svankmajer Emo Smith of Green Lake,
have offered an $11.99 reward for his return. For the past twenty-three
years they've heard nothing from their son, although an unknown person
does leave a six-pack of Co" .45 beer on the Smith's doorstep each
Halloween night, with a note reading either "Steve Hodgson is Elvis," or
"Enslave Armenian Sleevesl"--the individual has very bad handwriting.

girlfriend lives in the ground," yeah well
Jimmy did have the idea fmt, but these
guys are nastier, and better air guitar
material. It's a fair cop.

Mr. Kelleher, let me add my support
to your 10/18/90 reply to Mr. Schroeter.
As author of the "asinine anicle on
Hollyweird movie sequels," I also wish to
reply to his letter. But fmt, I apologize
to Cpj staff and readers. This is not
writing, bul feuding. A writing feud is
self-indulgence for authors and forced
voyeurism for readers. For myself, I
would be satisfied if this were mailed to
one reader. Publication is the editor's
decision.
For the record, we all know who
fued the fmt shot
A writer's best work is where the
writer has an interest I am interested in
movies, I write about them. Excluding
staff,
writers are unpaid. The CPJ
is under no compulsion to print my
writing. The fact that my writing often
appears in the CPJ speaks as much to a
low market base as to my writing skill.
This classic dilemma of the college
newspaper does not mean my writing is
"asinine" or "garbage."
Perhaps Mr.
Schroeter's time would be better spent
writing the articles he wants to see,
instead of merely complaining when he
doesn't see them.
Or would Mr. Schroeter prefer that I
write about spans? I know little about
sports, have no interest in !hem and have
never written about them.
With no
background, no interest, no instruction
and no experience I cannot regard myself
as qualified. Perhaps such details don't
trouble him.
Mr. Schroeter ought to research
beyond a single CPJ issue before
attacking my work. So far, the CPJ has
printed seven pieces of my writing. One
was a poem and two (including the
"asinine" one) satirized American culture.
The others discussed obscene phone call
harassment, USA propaganda abuses, ties

and prejudice against the overweight
Comments generated by these articles

Mr. Schroeter's sca!hingly witty, original

He calmly assumes his attitude is

Menagerie shatters the Center
Malcalypse the Younger as he \Vas lIlaybe
by Mike Grutchfield
Discordianism, in its most basic form,
has probably existed as long as
philosophy. It crops up nearly allover
the world, in nearly every era: under a
variety of guises. The basic idea behind
Discordianism is: All things originate
and lerminate in chaos, therefore chaos is
a more important and powerful
occurrence than order. The fust part of
this statement has appeared in Taoism,
ancient Sumeria, ancient Greece, the
books of Genesis and Revelation , modem
Big Bang Theory, the Second Law of
Thermodynamics and what is popularly
known as "Chaos Science," frequently.
with different conclusions however.
Many myths, however, center around
"servants" of chaos, and those attempting
to bring it back to life.
Modem day Discordianism originated
in the United States, in the mid-1950's,
when a group of radical libertarian types
with a sense of humor and an interest in
Conspiracy Theories, decided to form a
church based on the worship of Eris,
ancient Greek Goddess of Chaos, Discord
and Strife. The ancient Greeks never
gave Eris much press, however, and there
is some controversy as to her lineage.
(Orthodox Discordians claim that She is
daughter of the VOID and sister of NonBeing and that She is The Great Mother
of All That Is. Unorthodox Discordians
claim that there are no Orthodox
Discordians and leave to look for a
party.) She mostly got blamed for things
the Greeks were pissed off about, most
notably the Trojan War. (There is no
evidence of her having been in Iraq
recently, by the way.) She was supposed
to have followed Ares around carrying
her Golden Apple of Discord, which
caused people to fight for its possession.
According to the Trojan Myth, she
inscribed upon it "KALLISTI" ("for the
prettiest one"), and threw it amidst the
Major Goddesses, causing a fight to
break out that had to be settled by a
Miss Olympus Contest Aphrodite won
of course, but only after bribing the
judge by promising him the heart of
Helen of Troy, which her husband, the
king, wasn't too thrilled about (maybe if
Venus had just spread her own legs,
instead of turning pimp, the whole scuffle
could have been avoided).
Anyway,
that' s what the Greeks say, but as Eris
has informed us since, "While I always
liked the Old Greeks they cannot be
trusted with historical matters,
They
were victims of indigestion, you know."
The Discordian Society has persisted,
in its ever changing way, largely due to
its lack of organization. Just because
none of the original mem bers are still
active, doesn't stop the rest of us from
carrying the banner in our own image.
Most noteworthy among the Original
Dicordian were Greg Hill (or Malaclypse
The Younger), 'editor/author of the
Principia Discordia; Kerry Thomley (or
Lord Omar Ravenhurst), friend of Lee
Harvey Oswald; Robert Anton Wilson (or
Mordecai
Malignatus),
infamous
philosopher and author of works later to
be discussed and Robert Shea (Holy
Name Unknown), anarchist and author of
science fiction I haven't read.
These folks, and others like them
began a correspondence that may have
been one of the fust mailed-marginals
scenes (at least the fJISt well-documented
one). They created tracts, Xerox collages
(also the fust serious auempts at that
now-popular medium), disturbing memos
and fiyers (many of which appeared
around Berkeley and Antioch campuses at
the time), and generally parodied the
paranoia and religious closed-mindedness
so prevalent in the post-McCarthy era of
the U.S.
A favorite target was the
Bavarian Illuminati--the Boogeyman of
the John Birch Society, an American
"patriots" organization for intolerant
racists. According to the Birchers the
Illuminati
are
responsible
for
Communism,
abortion,
taxes
and
everything else they hate. Interestingly
as the 60's got started, many left-wing
radical groups were blaming the
Illuminati for the KKK, war, republicans
and everything they hated. This did the
Discordians parody as well.
Everything came to a head when
D.A. Jim Garrison decided that Oswald's
old pal was involved in the Kennedy
assassination. However I fmd that whole
story so dreadfully long-winded and
boring that I won't relate it here. Write
to Thomley at the address below for
more details than you ever wanted.
Anyway, Hill collected the best of
the stuff from these early days and
compiled it (with additions of his own)
into a "bible" named the Principia
Discordia, publishing it on a Xerox in
1965 and creating what I believe amounts
to the first Xeroxed 'zinc. It has no
band interviews, however. It is available ,
with many other strange and wonderful
books, from Loompanics Unlimited, at
the address given below.
Shea and Wilson meanwhile, began
working on an epic trilogy, in which all
of the heroes were Discordians and all of
the villains agents of the Illuminati. It is
simply classic, and is a book written with
the intention of introducing the reader to
so much information that he/she has no
choice but to think for him/herself.
Scary, huh? It didn't get published until
1975, but is still available in the United
States from Dell Publishing, and in other
countries as well (England is the only
one I'm sure of). By the time it came
out, most of the original Discordians had
gone on to other (generally less
interesting) things . bl't its publication
sparked
a
renewed
interest
in
Discordianism and it began to sprout
even stranger churches based on even
more absurd premises.
One of these, the Church of The
Subgenius, is interesting because of the
widespread attention it has gained, and
because of how quickly it moved from
being an entertaining, aggressively weird
mass of individuals to a mere cult for
nerds.
The Church had two basic
weaknesses, as I see it, its Centralization
and its Commercialism. Its Centralization
limited the creativity of the outer masses,
and left them primarily as passive
consumers of whatever the Church dished
out.
Its Commercialism ensured that
what it dished out was primarily "humor"
in the TV -defined sense of the word-completely devoid of revolutionary
content Today the Church has proven
its animosity to the underground as one
of its prominent members sent a mail
bomb to Bob Black, an outspoken antiwork weirdo. It continues to enthrall
uncreative, nerdy white kids (mostly
male) throughout the United States and
elsewhere, much like MTV .Discordianism,
and
the
many
DisOrganized Religions (ooRs· ) it
spawned, continue to be (at worst)
creative outlets for such types, because
involvement in a disorganized movement
requires active contributions. The Church
bas the positive effcct of introducing the
more creative types to the ideas of
parodying religion and "the system" in
general, from whence they can move in
more rebellious stances.
I could go on to explain the various
subsects, beliefs and Mysteries of
Discord, but instead I will give you a list
of sources, from which you can collect
whatever information you desire. Thanks
for reading!

I arrived just in time to get [ront row
seats, which in this production are
actually on the stage. The show is held
in a black box theater that just happens
to have fue escape-style stairs already
built in. These stairs and cat walk are
used as part of the stage and lend a
higher and unique dimension to the
setting as well as a good "back alley"
effect for the scenes to come. having the
audience on the edge of the stage creates
an interconnectedness with the members
of the audience and the characters of the
pay. As an audience member I felt more
involved with the action with the players
right there in my face.
"The Glass Menagerie" opens with a
monologue from Tom, played by Andrew
Gordon. This bold and boisterous man
captured the audience with the fust
syllable he spoke. His voice was loud
and full of expression. He used the metal
terrace as the spot for his opening
narrative remarks, and displayed excellent
transitions from that role into the
character of Tom. Douglas Carr, as Jim
O'Connor, was also strong and radiant in
his performance. In his candlelit scene
alone with Laura, the flickering flames
augment the intimate mood, and Carr
interacted with fine subtlety with Betty
Bernstein's Laura, who, it seemed to me,
fmaUy opened up to the transitions
expected of her as an actress and as a
character during this scene.
Although I was pleased with the
male interpretation and acting quality, I
was not as thrilled with the females in
this respect To be honest I felt that the
females, Bernstein and Marie Margaret
McFarland as Amanda, were carried most
of the time by the male actors, but some
of this may have been due to opening
night jitters. Bernstein communicated
Laura's terror of the outside world, but

chord transposed; in the scene where she
recalls her own youth to her daughter,
she seems out of character, an actress
regurgitating lines instead of a woman
quietly going back in time. But her

by Leslyn L. Logan
Walking down the hall to the CPJ's
"closet" office I noticed a poster
advertising "The Glass Menagerie,"
presented by the Puget Sound Theater
Ensemble. Being an actress of sorts
myself I felt compelled to go, but being
a student I know I don't have the cash
flow . "Oh well," I say to myself, "maybe
next time." While in the office I like to
answer the phone, play secretary so to
speak. the phone rings and I fmd myself
taking a message for Andrew Hamlin, our
Arts and entertainment editor. "We would
like someone [rom the CPJ to review our
production of 'The Glass Menagerie,'"
said a voice on the other end. "I'll do
it!" I said, excited to have the
opportunity to see and actually write
about the play for the paper. From there
the rest is history.
For those readers unfami1iar with the
play, written by Tennessee Williams, it is
the story of a family in St Louis. The
time period is construed as now or the
past, and the action takes place in the
Wingfield's
alley
apartment.
The
Wingfield family consists of a mother,
Amanda, a daughter, Laura, a son, Tom,
and an absent father. Laura is shy and
reclusive due to a handicapping birth
defect which caused her to wear a leg
brace for most of her childhood. She
spends her time listening to the victrola
and keeping her collection of glass
artifacts, a glass menagerie as her mother
calls it. Tom works in a warehouse and
dreams of adventure, but is made to feel
responsible for his mother and sister, who
depend on his paycheck. Amanda asks
tom to bring a nice man home from the
warehouse so that Laura can be married
and thus "independent"; eventually the
Gentleman Caller, Jim O'Connor, arrives,
and the family is not quite ready for him.

King of the Delta Blues,
Robert Johnson sings the
songs of tormented souls
by Mark Winrord
ROBERT JOHNSON
THE
COMPlEfE RECORDINGS
COLUMBIA RECORDS
Robert Johnson's influence on rock
and roll rivals Chuck Berry's, Little
Richard's, and Elvis'--even though he
never knew rock and roll music, recorded
only twenty-nine songs (Plus some
intriguing alternate versions included in
this new collection) and died before some
of the above were even born. The
Rolling Stones, Eric Clapton, and Led
Zeppelin are just a few of the artists who
have subscribed to Johnson's haunting,
desperate form of the blues.
Lately, however, with the unavailability
of Johnson's music, his contribution to
popular music and the blues has been
diluted into the myth of his deal with the
devil to be the greatest blues player in
the world, a legend dealt with ineptly in
the "Crossroads" movie. "The Complete
Recordings" could not have come at a
more opportune time to reestablish
Johnson's importance to modem popular
music, and most of all his title as king of
the Delta blues singers.
The fifty-year old monophonic tapes
that "The Complete Recordings" were
remastered from capture the blues at their
roughest, unlamed best Johnson's voice
does not come across like the Muddy
Waters type swamp monster associated
with the electric blues. It is high, nasal
and whines like a dog that has been hit:
it is an unforgettable articulation of pain.
When Johnson sings "I got to keep
movin'/I've got to keep movin! blues
fallin' down like hail" in "Hellhound On
My Trail" he means it. He is singing
from the bottom of his tormented soul.
Johnson's guitar playing at its best
defies logic. Since he had to play his
own rhythm his leads were straightjacketed, but he still breaks out with
some mind-bending slide; he played
rhythm and lead at the same time, and
when Keith Richard ftrSt listened to the
records, he thought there were two guitar
players. Johnson's frenzied guitar playing
on "Preaching Blues (Up Jumped the
Devil)" is a strong argument for his
actual possession, and his singing, the
voice of a man damned, half protesting
squeak and half a sighed resignation on
the way to the hellpit, all but confirms it.
Johnson was, in his own lifetime, an
anachronism: the last of the great rural
blues players. After his death in 1938
(when a jealous bar owner put strychnine
in his whiskey because Johnson was
coming onto his wife) World War II
would break out and when it was over
the blues would become electrified in
Chicago, spin off into rock and roll and
lose a little of the connection to the rich
earth of the Mississippi Delta. Robert
Johnson encompasses everything that the
real blues were before they became
mutated. Which makes "The Complete
Recordings" not only an essential album
for anyone's collection, but also a vital
moment in the history of American music
and culture.

across
the
state,
offers
75
recommendations for preventing pollution
and protecting wildlife, -fisheries, and
outdoor recreation opportunities. To set
an example, the governor has ordered
that, when possible, the state government
use products that can be recycled, and
that agencies seek out substitutes for
hazardous materials.

Graduation 1990 has been labeled a
disaster by numerous people who tried to
attend the ceremony last June. Although
the ceremony was originally to be held
on Red Square, it took place in the Gym
due to an unexpected downpour. Many
people who had planned to watch their
friends graduate were unable to because
the building was too full. Some of them
had traveled hundreds of miles to watch
the ceremony, but they were forced to
wait to see the graduates until people
began to leave the building or until the
ceremony ended. Hundreds of.angry and
disappointed people could be found
waiting in the rain with their gifts.

Again this year seniors will have a
say in such matters at Graduation
Committee meetings throughout the
academic year. All aspects of Graduation
1991 will be addressed as long as seniors
who plan to attend the ceremony frequent
these meetings. The first Graduation
Committee meeting takes place on
Wednesday, November 7 at 5:15 pm in
Library 2218.
Paula Lang is an Evergreen senior.

1================1
30 words or leu - $3.00
10 cents for each additional word
of the flyers noted. Amongst the flyers
were little notecards with formula letters
addressed to corporations involved in
tropical deforestation. One of Heather's
goals this week is to get people to write
as ntany letters as they can to these
corporations. She said, "If we get
hQIldreds and thousands of letters written
to corporations like Mitsubishi telling
them we're going to boycott their
products, they're going to have to listen.",
Throughout the upcoming week free
movies are being shown every night and
there will be a table in the CAB covered
with rainforest facts and figures, and
plenty of addresses to who one can write
their concerns. For more information
contact Heather McPherson at 754-1876.
Claire Littlewood is a senior who is
investigating the future of the annual Mud

What yau are about to see is a picture af a tree. It is a
big old Douglas Fir tree. I have worked very h~rd this
week on it. \t is a very nice tree. It has meaning.
Sometimes people run out of ideas. This is not their
fault. If this ever happens to you, you'll know. Please
like my tree. I'm a little tired now. I think I'll ga to
sleep. I've worked so hard. 1 really haven't gone over
the edge. Fire and ice and all that...1 know. I know. If
you love me. you can't really kill me. This tr~ is sure
a fine one. Yessir. I'm gonna wake up and thiS tree
might be a big a!' dream. All a dream . Kiss me .
