The local press coverage of this College's activities and of me for well
over a year has injured me, my wife, my friends, the College, and this
Board. The damage to me and to my family is irreparable; the College,
thank God, is much more resilient. Getting teaching back to its proper
place as the center of the College and stopping the madness have ~eighed
heavily on my mind the past few months.

September 6, 1990

The Board of Trustees
The Evergreen State College
Olympia, Washington 98505
Dear Friends and Colleagues:
I should like to thank ea~h of you, once again, for your unanimous
and sincere vote of confidence and support at our last Board meeting by
extending my contract until January 14, 1994. Your support has always
been important to me personally and professionally; indeed, without your
support I could have done very little to advance the best interests and
welfare of the College, especially in those areas where, over time, I had
to make difficult, unpopular, but quintessentially necessary and important
decisions. Most importantly, our genuine friendships have become special
gifts to me--gifts which are life-lasting.

But these are not the only gifts with which I have been blessed since I
have been president. A lot of very talented and good people have worked
hard to advance the College. First and foremost among these are our
students and our alumni, the extraordinary majority of whom reflect great
credit on the College and on each other and on whose shoulders the real
future of the College rests. My immediate staff are unquestionably a
treasure for the College, and the general staff at the College, with few
exceptions, are probably the most talented, dedicated exempt and classified
employees ever assembled at one institution. Parenthetically, I have
always worried that some of our faculty and some of our students do not
appreciate what wonderful people they have to serve their needs.
Moreover, the extraordinary majority of cur faculty have been a blessing
to work with, to serve, to engage. They are as difficult as they are · exciting;
as maddening as they are inspiring; as unconventional as they are thaumaturgic.
They have conceived and operationalized an educational philosophy and .
pedagogy that not only works well but also is rapidly becoming an alternative model for how higher educatio~ ought to he accomplished. And I
am proud to be associated with the extraordinary majority of our faculty .
The Foundation Board of Governors, that group of dedicated, talented, and
sometimes underappreciated gr'oup of pe ople who work so hard t o raise private
funds for the College is also a great blessing. The same can be said of
the Alumni Board . My friends an d colleagues in state government, in the
legislature, in the Higher Education Coordinating Board, in the Council
of Presidents--these individuals have also been both gifts and teachers.
.
But this letter is not only about gifts; it is also about madness. Not
about healthy, wonderful madness that makes human nature special and
teaches us about our humanity; rather, about -destructive, un~ealthy madness.
For well over a year, a spectre of the latter form of madness has haunted
the College. The mutual exploitation of and by a few individuals on our' .
campus and the local newspaper has resulted in my having become the center
of the College--and that is unhealthy. l'he center of this College is its•
teaching and all the wonderful things that surround, inform, and are info'nned
by it .

1 believe that I have the capacity to help achieve these goals by submitting
my resignation to you and by urging you to accept it, effective this date.
In so doing, I want to make it quite clear that I am submitting this resignation under duress, not from you certainly, but from the duress generated
by the local newspaper . I feel strongly that a free press is critically
important to an active, healthy democracy. I feel even m~re strongly
that with greater degrees of freedom in any area of life come greater
degrees of responsibility; hence one of the things that is so +njurious
to an active, healthy democracy is an irresponsible newspaper. The
villification of me and of this College for well over a year is intrinsically
reprehensible; regretably, it has also been very damaging. That there is
nothing as illusory as reality or as real as illusion seems to have been
the predicate of a perverted sense of journalism that has guided the coverage
to which I have referred.

Finally, when I became president of the College almost six years ago, I
stated publicly that I was lucky to be assuming the most exciting and the
most frustrating college presidency in the United States. Nothing that has
occurred during the time that I have been president has changed the
validity of that initial assertion.

CAB remodeling delayed six months
by Thomas C. Layne
The $1.5 million College Activities
Building remodeling has been delayed six
months due to questions about seismic
safety, according to college architect Jon
Collier.
The project was originally
scheduled to begin in July and be
completed in December.
Collier hopes to bid out the job in
early October, accept bids in early
November, and start constniction in
January. '
Bureaucratic delays over the seismic
design resulted when the Building
Division of Thurston County Public
Works referred their decision to the
International Conference of Building
Officials.
Due to budget constraints, the
architects are substituting less , expensive
materials for the materials 'that were
originally planned. Also, in order to stay
within budget, the KAOS renovation may
be dropped to finish the new student
offices, which are the "thrust" of the
project, says Collier.
The CAB is being renovated to
provide office space for student groups
which are being moved out of the
Library to provide space for faculty
offices. In addition, new offices are
being built for Cooper Point Journal,
Services and Administration, and KAOS.
Half the money needed for the
project will come from S&A funds; the
other half will be borrowed from banks,
according to Collier.

Food service contract changes hands
by Tedd Kelleher

Since "the traditional 'cafeteria' fare
After being recommended by the does not appear to be popular with the

prices were restructured to lower the
price of vegetarian sandwiches. He added,
"If the students tell us what they're
thinking, we'll look into it."
Part of the food service contract asks
that Northwest try to be sensitive to the
political ramifications of the food they
buy. For example, they are now buying
most of their produce from Nisqually
Produce, a family run company with the
mother, a woman, as its principle
shareholder.
Northwest is now trying to procure
letters from its other suppliers stating that
they do not distribute coffee beans from
El Salvador, beef from South America, or
yellowfin tuna.
Although Marriott last year netted
$60,000 on one million dollars in gross

sales (6 cents on the dollar), Northwest
expects to lose money at Evergreen for
the first three years largely because they
are spending $26,000 this year on items
such as tongs, knives, plates, and a
$9,000 espresso cart for the library
entrance.
Northwest Food Service expects to
have $12 million in sales this year from
18 outlets. Northwest claims that because
of its small size they, "can turn on a
dime" to meet the needs of their
customers.
Should Evergreen or Northwest
become dissatisfied, either can pull out of
the contract with 90 days notice.

behavior and how to talk. I was guided
and chastised as if I were an infant.
I recall the embarrassment I felt as
I was helped on and off the toilet and
had to have help lowering and raising my
pants. I wonder how red my face was
when the nurse asked, "Did you go
number one or number two?" And I
remember crying with shameless joy
when, with assistance I was able to stand
and walk ten feet.
Sometime during this same period
my feeling returned. I had never realized
how painful it could be to feel. When I
shaved, it felt as though I was dragging
the skin off my face. My children tried
to engage in one of their favorite
activities, tickling daddy. What I felt was
their fingers grating over my ribs.
The worst pain of all was in my
soul. With little family and scant few
friends left, an overpowering and all-

consuming loneliness overcame me. I no
longer had anything in common to talk
about with other people.
But life is a process of learning.
I've learned that recovery is a very long
process. If I don't recover completely
within six years, I never will. I've also
learned that rehabilitation is not learning
how to do things again, it is figuring out
how to accomplish what I want to do
with whatever resources I have to use.
I've told what a stroke does. Now
I'll tell what a stroke is: A stroke is
being condemned and sentenced (without
accusation, trial, or appeal) to life
imprisonment in solitary confinement
within your own body, which will not
work properly for you.

Sti-~ife tlirllSY'b0dy into prison

After I had a stroke, that became the
most important question in the world to
me. I didn't understand what had
happened to me. I had the misconception
that stroke had something to do with the
heart and happened to old people.
But my heart was fme and I certainly
wasn't old. What was it that had
destroyed and so completely changed my
life as I had known it?
A dictionary was no help. What did
the striking of a clock, a touch of a pen,
a gentle rub or the sweep of an oar have
to do with what· happened to me?
I asked doctors 'and nurses about
what had happened to me. They told me
that a stroke is a CVA, a cranial-vascular
accident. How could such a mild phrase
represent such devastation? Later, I
learned that a stroke is any condition that
halts or impedes the flow of oxygen-rich .
blood to the brain, thereby causing
portions of the brain to suffocate and die.
I now knew what had happened to
me, but had no inkling of what was yet
to happen. Only time and experience
would be able to answer that question.
I vaguely remember waking up with
an pncertain feeling that something was
very wrong.· I looked around the room
with difficulty because my head wouldn't ·
tum properly. I saw my brother holding
my hand and crying. Why was he
crying? More importantly, why didn't I
feel him holiling my hand? I tried to look
at me hand to see what was the matter,
but I couldn't move it.
A doctor came into the room and I
remember thinking, "Now I'll find out
what's going on." I tried to ask, but the
words stumbled out of my mouth in a
unintelligible mess. My lips and tongue
weren't working right. The doctor must
have seen the question in my eyes
because he said, "You're paralyzed." He
then turned and walked out of the room.
My confusion was to be m~gnified.
During the next two weeks, I was

constantly drugged with morphine. This
was to keep me docile and to prevent
further damage to my brain.
Nobody would look me in the eyes
and tell me what had happened. As I
asked my question, people would either
silently look away or get a blank, tearful
expression on their faces.
My next stop was a rehabilitation
hospital. At last I got some answers.
Finding out what happened was a long,
drawn-out process. What it did to me
became painfully obvious. I lost
possessions, my family, and my
livelihood. In short, I lost everything but
my life. And it dido 't look too bright, my
being only "half there." I wanted to lay
down and die. But that's not allowed to
happen in a rehabilitation hospital. I was
started on a process of rehabilitation.
Everybody had a hand in the retraining
process. I had to be "taught" appropriate

Spotlight on Security
Security intervention in
dangerous situations
blocked by lack of
guns

Department of Labor and Industries ruled
that without guns Security was not
properly equipped to safely ~arry out
some of their duties. Security requested
guns but was denied after a campus
survey showed that 85% of the Evergreen
community did not want an armed
security force, says Russell.
Under the new rules an officer
responding to potentially dangerous
situation would call the Thurston County
Sheriffs office and then take a peripheral
position and try to distract the assailant
until the Thurston County police arrived.
The sheriff's office has no new plans
to deal with the new security
arrangement, but is usually able to
respond to Evergreen calls in three to 15
minutes, depending on the deployment of
officers, says Sheriff Gary Edwards.

by Tedd ·Kelleher
Evergreen Security will no longer
directly intervene in potentially dangerous
situations such as aggravated assault in
progress and rape in progress because
Security is not equipped with guns, says
Security Chief Gary Russell. "There's too
much potential danger for unarmed
security officers to go into these
dangerous situations," says Russell.
Evergreen Security was ' forced to

On September 27 L&I will meet with
Mike Grant, Evergreen's assistant attorney
general, to negotiate th~ settlement of
these two cases. If Evergreen makes a
reasonable effort in the eyes of L&I to
meet their demands, they will present the
compromise to Savage and Anderson.
Should either Savage or Anderson be
dissatisfied with the compromise, they
can ftle an independent civil suit against
the school.

of violating officer Robert (Andy)

L&I has asked Evergreen to rehire
Savage, pay him $13,000 in back wages,

In addition to procedural changes, Security will be wearing
different uniforms and will be taking the flashing police lights off
their cars. Their new uniforms will be tan instead of "L.AP.D. blue."
Also, officers' badges will be made of sewn-on cloth instead of metal.

Life beneath the evergreens
by Scott A. Richardson

The Evergreen campus is unlike
many college campuses in that it was
built in a forest. Although the everexpanding asphalt and concrete gradually
are eroding the natural surroundings,
there remain hundreds of acres of
relatively undisturbed stands of trees.
Evergreen also has a much-heralded
beach on Eld Inlet, small meadows, and
much human-oriented habitat. Each of

these areas supports an array of plants,
animals, and other forms of life. The
campus is an excellent source of research
and enjoyment opportunities, and has
been exploited by many academic
programs over the years.
Communing with nature is frequently
a solitary pursuit; students laden with
binoculars, magnifiers, and field guides
occasionally are seen· searching for a
particular species or making notes of

what's blooming, singing, swarming, and
so on.
This weekly column will act as a
compendium of current natural history
observations, helping everyone from
newcomer to life-student to become
familiar with the phenology of events on
the Evergreen grounds. Please drop a
weekly synopsis of your notes at the CPJ
office by Monday noon for inclusion in
the following issue.

Slugs and crane flies have been
copulating recently. Deer have been seen
regularly as they cross roads on various
parts of the campus. Does are showing
their fawns the world. Automobiles are
not part of their natural surroundings;
please drive carefully.
If you are interested in soliciting
contributions and compiling this column,
please contact Scott at the CPJ office,

United States lacks world support
by Paul Slusher
Now that the United States
administration finds it in its best interest
to claim to be somewhat aligned with the
world community (i.e. the United
Nations), we are hearing propaganda that
is chock full of hypocrisy and misleading
informatibn. George Bush's statements,
"The world is behind us" and "I am
doing what is right" are among them. I
am referring to the U.S. reaction to Iraq's
invasion · of Kuwait, and it is these
statements that warrant further inspection.
Since the mainstream media is (again)
not doing its job, let's take the initiative.
When Iraq invaded the British-created
nation of Kuwait on August 1, suddenly
the international community awakened.
The United Nations quickly condemned
the invasion, as it should have, and
clearly stated that the circumstance would
be dealt with on an economic level, not
a militaristic one. The United Nations
called for the withdrawal of the Iraqi
troops, and when this was not done, the
international community began devising
an economic strategy for enforcing its
decision. At about the same time,
ignoring the U.N. decision, the United
States sent troops into Sattdi$1 Arabia.
As the weeks passed, the United
Nations began to voice its opinion louder
and louder: the military presence in the
region was not condusive to a solution,
and the United States should withdraw.
But as we have seen time and time
again, the United States seems to be that
little kid who was raised in a bad home,
and just won't listen or behave.
For George Bush to make statements
to the effect that the world is behind
him, or that he feels he is doing what is
right, borders on offensive. It offends our
intelligence and the worst part about it is
that more than half of the nation is
believing him.
The "doing what is right" bit is really
abstmct. This is the same man who
worked for the CIA in the same era
when Political murdering, torturing, and
total domination and oppression of the
Third World was becoming a billion
dollar business. This is the same man
who deregulated the S&L industry so that
many of his colleagues, including his
own son, could rip off tax payers for
some $600 billion. This is the same man
who advocates and supports "counter
insurgency" groups that murder women

and children, shoot priests, and blow up
schools, churches, and hospitals. Sorry
Bush, but that "doin' what is right" is
pure cmpl
To claim that the United Nations is
behind him would infer that it is backing
the use of millions of dollars of killing
machinery and thousands of military
personnel. This is not true. The United
Nations stands on the hope that certain
diplomatic approaches can be successful.
United States oil and money interests are
not worth starting World War III over.
On this point, I agree with the United
Nations.
Ironically, Bush's claim to be in
with the world community is an issue
that has quite a past. One that proves
Bush not only dreadfully wrong, but
exposes a pattern of selfish foreign policy
making that is neither in conjunction with
the world community or the "right thing."
When the United States was busy
mining the harbors of Nicaragua,
terrorizing it with economic and military
warfare, the United Nations came down
on the Reagan adminstration. The World
Court condemned the United States for
their "terrorism" in Nicaragua. In
response, immediately · following the
decision, the United States gave $100
million to the living oxymoron ("The
Contra Freedom Fighters").
Later, in 1986, when the United
Nations Security Council voted 11 to 1 to
pass a resolution calling for the United
States to observe international law, the
Unites States vetoed. Again, when the
United Nations General Assembly voted
34-3 to call on the United States to
comply with the world court decision, the
United States vetoed that as well. A vote
of 154-1 resulted when a resolution
banning nuclear weapons in space was
put to the General Assembly. The one
opposing vote was, as you probably have
guessed, the United States. What was that
about the world being behind you ...or
doing what is right?
Yet Nicamgua is bot the only
country where we see this happening.
Again, to meet the financial needs of the
U.S.-owned multinational corporations,
the United States defied the world
community. The U.S. invasions of both
Panama and Grenada were condemned,
yet such condemnations fell on deaf ears
of both the United States and its media.
U.S. corporations also have a vested

Jnterest in Kuwait. For instance, Texaco
Corporation has been sucking hundreds of
billions out of Kuwaiti oil reserves for
years. When the invasion occurred,
Saddam Hussein represented a stand to
take the oil from the 'greedy Americans'
and control his own destiny. Whether one
stands behind Hussein (some do--they just
don't admit it publicly) or against him, it
is not the United States' responsibility to
be in Saudia Ambia threatening world
peace. Especially with Bush's tmck
record. It's like having Ted Bundy
babysit for you--it just isn't a good idea.
Profits are fueling our presence in the
Middle East, and this is not an action
that could in any way be arrogantly
deemed "what is right."
This hypocrisy has allowed such men
as Hussein to rationalize his actions.
"Hell if he can do it, then so can we.
The oil is in our land, not his," Hussein
must be saying to his wife over dinner.
The United Nations, which is the
only body for international law, should be
the deciding entity, and should have to
power of both enforcement and
settlement. With all the raping the United
States has done to any such U.N. power,
there is little chance of that. As this issue
illustmtes, the United States should not

have the power of absolute veto. This
system allows for manipulation, and in
turn,
hypocrisy
and
lies.
Most
importantly, the only way that the global
village can ensure that such actions can
be dealt with in an effective and sane
manner is to empower the United
Nations, so that all nations are
represented and allowed to have some
power with their vote. If that had been in
place, there would have been a lot less
death and hardship over the years in this
world.
We must all come to understand the
real issues of things like Panama,
Grenada, Nicaragua, and even Kuwait. If
you are getting all your information from
some mainstream media, then you are
probably not getting the whole story.
This is a crucial time, a time when
people in this country must stand against
more American imperialism and greed. It
is time that we stop something that we
may not be able to in a very short period
of time. The United States must pull its
forces out of Saudi Ambia. Then, and
oniy then, is peace going to have a
chance.

Paul Slusher is presenting a series of
political analyses in the CPJ.

'The Big Vote'
by Raquel Salinas and Larry Jefferson
This is the deal, the Student
Communication Center is here to tell you
about a vote, in fact the vote, that will
decide your future. The vote will decide
how students communicate to one another
and the Evergreen community. You will
have the chance to say if the student
body will be unified or stand alone,
powerless, unable to come together to
decide student needs when issues arise.
The students of TESC need a student
governance system. When issues like
violence against women, armed security,
campus racism, homophobia, or an
uncensored art gallery space come up,
what can we do about these things?
We have strength as individuals and
there are other avenues, such as student
groups, but collectively, in order to learn
from each other and produce a united
form for student needs we need a

structure, a process, a government.
Next Thursday the proposed Student
Government will be published in the CPJ.
The Big Vote will then occur the
following week, October 9 to 11 in the
CAB. For those who want to sneak a
peek at the proposal, come on down to
the SCC in CAB 206, right .across from

consider:
(1) We claim to be in support of
"democracy" around the world, yet the
governments of Saudi Arabia and Kuwait,
because of their cultural backgrounds, are
anything but democracies. They are
aristocracies, absolute monarchies in
which women, for instance, can't even
drive an automobile, let alone participate
in any governmental affairs. Saudi Arabia
carries the name of the family that rules
the nation, the Saud family.
(2) President Bush said as he was
observing war games in February of this
year, "Military challenges to democracy
persist in every hemisphere, and America
must always be prepared to fight for
freedom and security." I suggest we are
not in Saudi Arabia to defend
"democracy" and not for freedom of
those rules by absolute monarchies. If
you will read "The Seven Sisters," an
outstaiiding book about the seven
multinational oil companies who in fact
make the policy regarding the oil
producing countries, a picture quite
different from that being painted by our
government and media will appear.
(3) In 1899 during a riv~ with
Germany the British signed treaties with
the ruling sheiks of what is now Kuwait,
'and in 1919 while occupyin$ Iraq the
British in essence created Kuwait.
(4) V(e get only 5% of our oil from

Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, far less than
the European nations, and in 1987 when
it appeared that Iran might take over the
oil fields, only 39% of us said we should
defend Saudi Arabia. But we are there
today. Even Jeanne Kirkpatrick, Reagan's
United Nation Ambassador, says we have
over reacted with our huge military
buildup, and Henry Kissinger tells us that
if Iraq retains control of Kuwait, we will
have to act militarily, ie: start a war.
(5) Retired U.S. General Odum
speaking on a recent newscast said, "We
may have to be in Saudi Arabia for 40
years now that we are there." It is
costing us $46,000,000 a day at the
present time according to a newscast
reporting a statement from the Pentagon,
and that figure will keep going up as we
expand our forces, most certainly if a
war starts. That, of course, says nothing
about the lives to be lost.
(6) The military cost to each of us
in the United States is only the beginning
of the huge losses occurring both in our
country and around the world. Thus: (a)
Iraq is th~ second largest buyer of our
wheat, and many of our farmers will lose
their farm.s with that market closed. (b)
Australia~
' ill lose a $1,000,000,000 a
year in "h t sales, (c) Ireland will lose
$74,000,
in beef sales to Iraq, '(d),
Egypt will lose $1,000,000,000 a year in
wages sent home from Egyptian workers

in Iraq, and (e) Sri Lanka will lose
$100,000,000 in tea sales, an enormous
loss for a small poor country. It is the
poor "third world" nations as we call
them, who will suffer the most, while the
rich nations may get by somehow.
These are only some of the facts we
need to consider as our "leaders"
("employees" is a term I prefer since we
hire them with our votes and pay them
with our taxes) move us closer to war.
We must consider, then speak out and
tell those "leaders" what we want them to
do.
We must be calm, not just be flag
waving, breast beating, "we are the best"
proclaimers, otherwise we sound like
Alexander the great who on capturing a
pirate asked: "how dare you molest the
sea?" to this the pimte replied, "How
dare you molest the whole world?
Because I do it with a little ship I am
called a thief, while you, doing it with a
great navy are called an Emperor!!"
•
We are not the Emperor of the
world. Our youth must be allowed to
live, allowed their days in sun, their
opportunities to learn, and their chance to
·perhaps create a peaceful world,
something those of us who are older have
never been able to accomplish.

Organizations fOr everyone
by Scott A. Richardson
Under the banner of the Services and
Activities Administration ride several
student organizations, as well as other
organizations affiliated with S&A. S&A
receives 96% of $86 per quarter from the
tuition and fees of the 3050 Full Time
Enrollment The S&A Board allocates the
funds to the various organizations.
As an introduction to the diverse
interests'encompassed by student groups,
we bring you this guide. Each group has
one or more student coordinators and is
overseen by faculty or staff advisers.
A few changes have occurred since
last year. Innerplace will run on a
volunteer basis and be closely tied with
Campus Ministries; Parent Resource
Center funding was diverted to the budget
of the Child Care Center so the center
could operate through the summer; and
the Bike Shop budget has been moved to
the Campus Recreation Center program.
Most of this information is current,
but some positions are tentative and a
few coordinators and advisers remain to
be determined (*).

by Paul Slusher
The growing . list of Seattle area
success stories is very likely to gain
another addition. Along with names such
as Jimi Hendrix, Queensryche, Heart, SirMix-a-lot, and the more recent member
Soundgard(!n, the name Alice In Chains
certainly requires a second glance (at
least).
Within the last year, Alice signed a 7record contract with Columbia Records.
Columbia is one of those massive "we can
make you a star" type record companies.
And they certainly plan to make a star out
of this Seattle band. The banfj left for
their first national tour in mid-September,
and is already talking about another tour
immediately following.
This potential rise to fame has
happened in a seemingly effortless
manner. The word around the Seattle
scene is that Alice was given an
"extraordinary break."
Rolling Stone magazine has even
noticed Alice, as the band appeared in a
segment recently that focused on the
growing popularity of Seattle bands. This
could only be the tip of the mega-mania
iceberg.
It was to be Alice's last show in
Seattle for a while. Scheduled to play the
well-established Central Tavern, I had
managed to arrange an interview before
the show. Guitarist and songwriter Jerry
Cantrell was the first to arrive. I grabbed
a Heineken, and he some ice water. We
placed ourselves near the stage, away
from the bar crowd. I swallowed a
mouthful of Heineken, and asked Jerry
about the Rolling Stone article--Had it
changed his perception of things.
Jerry: No, not really. It just came out
this last week, but yeah a lot of people
have seen or read the article around
town. It's been kind of neat They are a
great magazine. This certainly has been a
high profile thing for us.
CPJ: Has the rise to fame by
Sm,ndgarden influenced or created a
precedent for Seattle bands allowing for
more limelight for bands of that genre?
Jerry: I think that Soundgarden and
Mother Love Bone defmitely cleared a
lot of waste for other bands to do stuff,
including us. But I think the main reason,
that opened the door is that we are really
a great band, to be perfectly honest. We
are something unto ourselves, even
though there is a relationship with
everybody else, with all the other bands,
and the similiarities in music style. You
know, that heavy Seattle sound. I'd say
that is definitely a reason for it, but I
wouldn't say that's all of it.
CPJ: You think you have succeeded on
your own merits?
Jerry: Yes, definitely!
.
CPJ: Well, Alice certainly does have a
very strong stage show, and a very
powerful presence with Layne just
stationed there, like an icon.

Starr, Sean Kinney, and Jerry Cantrell from the band
in Chains. photos by Paul Slusher

Jerry: Thank you.
CPJ: I think a good word would be
ominous.
Jerry: (nervous laughter) Sure.
CPJ: One thing I noticed is that a lot of
the music is connected to women,
relationships, and anger about these
issues. Is there a particular reason for
that?
Jerry: I think some are directed to that
like "Love, Hate, Love," "Sea of
Sorrow," and "Confusion," and we do get
down on that sometimes, I guess. I think
I. write it--we write it that way so you
can take it a number of different ways.
The writing is kind of ambigious. It's not
really spelled out You can use it in a
personal context or use it in relation to
an inatimate thing or feeling. It's kind of
like a pattern that fits a lot of different
people well. What it is is that the feeling
is there. It's just that you can change the
object of what you want the song to be,
that is interchangeable. Like it should be
for each person. You should be able to
take it any way you want. The emotions
are set though, I mean that's how it is.
CPJ: Bands like Metallica, a band known
for its musical heaviness and its tendency
to get politically motivated--They will go
as far as to spell it out as to what
they've got to say. How does that angle
compare to Alice In Chains?
J~rry: Metallica has a lot of strength in
things they feel. I think that is really
important. I think that we can touch on
some of those things too. We say what
we feel but by no means are we a band
that is trying to put any message across
or tell anyone how to think, act, or what
is right or wrong. These songs are
basically just observations on personal
stuff. The album was pretty selfishly
written to make us happy so that we

could get rid of some personal things we
were all feeling at the time. Secondly if
somebody can pick that up and listen to
it and release some shitty feelings,
frustrations or whatever, take that
emotional trip with us, that's what we
want.
CPJ: You do most of the songwriting,
right?
Jerry: I do.
CPJ: There are touches of other input:
Layne (Staley) and Mike (Starr) seem to
come in a little bit, but. ..
Jerry: The way we do stuff generally is:
I've got a 4-track machine, with a drum
machine at home, which is really
convenient to hfive. When you get used
to using something like that, it is so cool,
'cause it's like having a car for a long
time then all of sudden not having it. It's
a drag. You can't do what you are used
to doing. But what happens is that I put
down ideas _all th,e time. Basically rll
take it as far as I can. Sometimes I can't,
with the lyrics or something. When it
comes to that point I'll pass it on to
Layne and let him take it from there,
'cause he is really brilliant at seeing or .
picking up stuff that I can't Whatever I
can't pull together, he's right there.
All the ideas that are written ...! do write
most of the stuff, but the way the band
works together is really, really incredible.
I mean Sean (Kinney) and Mike are so
tight with each other. It's really bizarre,
but they've known each other for a long
time. They're really together and the shit
that they add to it. ..I don't try to
influence it at all. I just kinda try to do
my thing. I write the song structure
down: make sure the guitar part is
happenin', with a basic focus, and I 1ust
give it to those guys and they take it.
They do their own thing with it.

Paul Slusher's
interview with
Ali.ce In Chains
will continue on
next week's A&E
pages of the CPJ.

Jerry Cantrell has
to say about how
the band got its

Reko MUse to close its ·d oors
by Ian Dickson

This week may be the last for the
Reko Muse Gallery. The gallery, located ,
in downtown Olympia at 112 E . . State
Street, has remained open and awake for
two solid years. Home to the
internationally
known
Olympia
underground, the gallery has provided the
space and support for all manner of
artistic expression. From photography,
sculpture, ceramics, and video, to drama,
cabaret, and punk rock, the Reko Muse
has done it all. Now the gallery has lost
its space, and must either move or cease
to be. They must vacate the current
' ~
building by October 1.
The gallery was founded in the fall
of 1988 by a group of enterprising artists.
Heidi Arbogast, Tammy Rae Carland,
Kathleen Hanna, Jane Keating, Audrey
Mandelbaum, Fawn Martin, Allison Stark
and Gail Warner would meet to discuss
their work and the frustration they felt in
having no space where their work could
be seen. It was through these meetings
that the idea became reality. They
organized, found a space, applied for a
business license, payed the rent, painted,
and hung their first show. The frrst
show, "Twist," was a retrospective of the
founders' photographs. Scrawl, an all-girl
band from Ohio, played the next night.
Thus, from the very beginning, there
was a split in the gallery. The
commercial power of rock 'n' roll would run by the founders as a women's
pay the rent and provide funds to support collective. They continued to provide an
the commercially powerless arts.
alternative space available to all, but run
During the fust year, the gallery was by women. They used benefit rock shows

in a
at the
from Photo Services

J.ICl;~;::n;;;u

to pay the rent. At these shows local
bands would play for free.
At the beginning of fall quarter in
1989 the remaining founders bowed out,

and the gallery advertised for new board
members. There was a flurry of activity
and suddenly the gallery was under new
leadership. Men were allowed to co-run
the gallery, and the gallery was offlcially
split into two administrative bodies: the
Rock Club, and the Gallery. Rock shows
became more regular, more elaborate, and
more important to the gallery. The art
shows diversilled as well.
During these last two years the
gallery has become one of the most
important institutions in the downtown
underground scene. It has helped make
Olympia a crucial destination for touring
bands and thoughtful artists. Not only
involved in Rock and Art, the gallery has
presented local drama ("Ten Seconds in
the Life of Fenwick Green," by Bryan
Willis), furniture by Bradley Sweek, two
legendary cabarets in conjunction with the
Olympia Film Society, and discos
(especially AI Larson's "Club Love").
This is the last weekend at Reko
Muse. If you haven't been yet, go now.
There are benefit rock shows on Friday
and Saturday. On Saturday night after 10
pm there is a farewell party for the
current building. On Sunday there will be
a meeting, followed by the final cleanup. The gallery needs new blood once
again this year. If you would like to get
involved in the new Reko Muse, come
by this weekend and talk to the friendly
staff.
Ian Dickson is a senior who has
been an avid fan of the Reko Muse
Gallery since its inception.

Wn.n AT HEART
A FILM BY DAVID LYNCH
STATE THEATER

Eirst thing happened was the focus
went screwy. On top of that, the
Cinemascope lens wasn't on, which
squeezed the entire picture into the
middle of the screen, like the Marx
Brothers stateroom sequence in "A Night
At The Opera." People yelled. After an
eternity the projectionist screwed on
another lens that made everybody twelve
feet tall and twenty pounds and still out
of focus. One of the fuzzy beansprouts
killed another and the screen ran red with
skinny blood. Yes, the screen eventually
deigned to show us normal human
beings ... well...let me start at the
beginning. If I can.
Nicholas Cage is Elvis. Ignore the
hairy chest and slightly receding hairline.
Nick is Elvis. Elvis killed the. fuzzy
beansprout, went to jail, got out, and has
lots of sex with Laura Dem, who is
almost six feet tall and looks like she

NOTICE

could wiggle her way out of a
straitjacket Diane Ladd, Laura's mom,
doesn't like this and reacts by vomiting
and smearing her entire face with lipstick
and dressing up like the Wicked Witch of
the West, so I wasn't too sure about her.
·She sends Harry Dean Stanton out to fmd
the miscreants. Harry bears up manfully,
but after forty-odd films of bearing up
manfully, he's the man.
Elvis and Laura end up in a town
called Big Tuna where not a lot happens
except that Willem Dafoe shows up with
real bad teeth and almost rapes Laura,
who is pregnant. Later he accidentally
blows his head off with a high-powered
rifle and it drifts back to earth still
encased in the protective sock.
I want to take a minute and talk
about Crispin Glover, who I thought was
more shocking in thirty seconds of screen
·time than some of the luminaries in
starting roles. In one scene he looks like
a gingerbread zombie as he slaps together
his fifty millionth dogturd peanut butter

sandwich. "I'm making my LUNCH!" he
screams at his mother. In another scene
he puts on underpants with cockroaches
in them and dances a most exquisitely
painful tango on the sidewalk.
"Wild At Heart" has ·sex, violence,
restaurants, and people who talk funny-all the prerequisites for a David Lynch
ftlm--but this time it's like he left the
ingredients sitting on the counter instead
of baking them. That's okay. When
Elvis' head appears distended, as though
seen through a trail of bubbles, I couldn't
tell if it was Lynch or the anarchist in
the projector booth. Lynch's frrst fllm
project was an animated loop of people
vomiting and eating themselves, projected
onto a twisted sculpture. At the State
Theater Saturday night, we needed no
unorthodox screens. The twisted sculpture
was inside the head of the hand pulling
the switch.
Andrew Hamlin would like to
apologize to the residents of A Dorm for
playing the infinity groove on "Brain
Damage" last weekend.

Going to School In my Underwear
There is a strange area in time.
It is between important things.
I have it when I want to be in school
And I'm moved in
And I have my paper,
Pens, ruler and note pads
And I have a schedule
But
With all the things that are nouns
I have no verbs.
What do I write?
What do I read?
What should I do?
What do I need?
It's like a dream where you show up
At an important dinner party
And you've forgotten to dress up at all.
You're in your underwear.
And instead of being a dream
It's real
And your mind is up in the air
Dangle, dangle, dangle
And .the rope's fraying quick, quick
"I just want to see the ground!"
"I just want to know that I'll land on something!"
It is only between important things,
This strange area in time.
