With Sixty-one candidates for
fIfteen unpaid positions, which are not
always clear, the Freeholder elections
in Thurston County this November 7
remain mysterious to all but the most
informed local voter.
Thurston County Auditor Sam
Reed explained the idea of Freeholders
as
being
"analogous
to
the
Constitutional convention [of 1787]."
Elected delegates, otherwise known
as Freeholders, would meet to conduct
hearings and presentations on how the
city and county governments could be
changed to work together more
efficiently.

Any charter drawn up by the
convention of Freeholders would be
submitted for the approval of the
voters, and if passed, the new citycounty charter would become law.
However radical the idea of a
group' of Freeholders having ultimate
authority over the formation of a new
government in Thurston County may
seem, Reed said the political realities
of the county will . moderate any
Freeholder proposals since any new
charter must be approved by County
voters.
Reforming the present city-county
governmental system is by no means 8
new idea, Reed said.

In 1979, a proposal for a county
charter of the type found in Pierce,
Snohomish, and King counties to
control urban growth met strong
resistance from business and real estate
leaders who, Reed said, feared more
government interference frpm the
proposed charter.
More recently, Reed said, a
proposition almost identical to this
year's received 49% of the vote despite
a weak campaign and vocal opposition
from municipal and business leaders.
New developments in the county,
however, bode well for the advocates
of a Freeholder convention.
Foremost of all new developments
is the rapid growth of Thurston
County. ·We're going to have over a
1/4 of a million people here in the
county in 15 to 20 years," said Reed,
which he said will place an enormous
strain on the resources of the city and
county governments.
Reed said regional services such
as water, pollution control" public
transportation, and especially sewage
treatment have been taxed to the
breaking point by the massive influx of
new residents in the past few years.
.Moreover, the governments of

Lacey, Olympia, Tumwater, and the
County all must agree on policy before
changes are made, Reed said, so little
or nothing gets done to meet the
expanding needs of the county's
citizens.
That's where the Freeholders come
in.
Reed sees the convention of
Freeholders organizing and empowering
the county government to control the
same regional services that are causing
the area's most pressing problems,
including urban growth, while allowing
the municipalities of the region to
. control the more local issues, such as
law enforcement
Voters will have two choices to
make on election day.
They will
decide whether or not the Freeholders
should be allowed to hold a
convention, and, if the issue does pass,
who those 15 freeholders will be.
For information on candidates, copies
of the Thurston County Voters
pamphlet are available at the Auditor's
office in the Thurston County
Courthouse on Lakeridge Drive in
Olympia.

The station received between 400 to
450 pledges this year, an increase of
15%•. Huntsberger said if KAOS is good
at bringing in pledges, listeners who
donate money make up about 20% of
actual listeners. This would make the
actual amount of KAOS listeners about
2300 people.
In the winter of 1989, a study
concluded KAOS had approximately 1700
listeners a week with peak hours bringing
in 400 people.
Huntsberger disagrees with the figures
because not only were they done by zip
code with the focus on 98503 (8 weak
signal area for the station), the study did
not include the zip code of the school
and surrounding area (98505).
Huntsberger says, "We are certainly
holding our own for the size of station
we are."
The KAOS pledge drive and and
planned auction in the spring account for
most of their income which complements
their Service and Activities fees. The
station told the S&A board last spring it
would earn close to $14,000 in the '8990 school year.
With a carry-over of $4,000 from
last year combined with the over $10,000
earned in the pledge drive, KAOS has
reached its goal eight months ahead of

Huntsberger said the station could
have probably brought in more pledges if
not for the earthquake in San Fransisco,
which pulled listeners away.
He said the station's goal was set at
$10,000, which also slowed down
fundraising once the goal was reached
Saturday night.
Huntsberger said once the goal was
met, the staff gave up on soliciting
pledges and "returned the airwaves to the
listeners." KAOS made only $150 on
Sunday.

The goings-on in Florida have
served as a notice that panderers to the
far right no longer will be able to hide
behind rehashed rhetoric and posta'S of
mutilated fetuses. They will have to
define clearly where they stand, and let
the American populace make its choices.
At this point, pro-choice activists are
flexing their muscles, feeling their power,
and beginning to reap the electoral

benefits that the Supreme Coun h8s sown
the seeds for.
It seems that if an issue is really
important, if people really give a damn
(and apparently they do), they will get
out and vote! This can be confinned by
the reactionary candidates that have bitten
the dust at every turn since Webster.
All that remains is for the prochoice movement to remain in a semigalvanic state, keeping the issue at the
forefront through the 1990 elections. It's
unlikely that anyone issue will assure
victory or defeat for a candidate, however
people will turn out in greater numbers if
they are aware of an issue, and it's
importance.
Right now two Democratic prochoice gubernatorial candidates have
opened large leads in the polls over their
Republican counterparts where they once
had trailed.
In New Jersey, Jim Florio h8s
hammered Jim Courter relentlessly on the
abortion issue, once causing Courter to
stumble in a televised debate.
In Virginia, Doug Wilder, seeking
to become that state's first black
governor, has labeled his opponent,

Republican; pro-choice advocate turned

politician with no integrity or loyalty, and

System doesn't always work
by Irene Mark Buitenkant
Although almost 2 months have
pasSed since observing the inquiry into
the deatfi of Danny Spencer I still find
it a troubling experience. AfW doing a
video taping stint of a Monday session
of the inquest for .a TCTV producer, I
became absorbed by the JroCCSS and
returned two of the three remaining days.
Up to that Mooday I only knew a bit
about the case from a news report 00
Seattle TV, I am trying to undtzstand
why this experience has resulted in many
sleepless pondering hours.
The inquest was to determine the
cause of death and the guilt or innocence
of the police. I learned that a man guilty
of disturbing the peace on the night of
June 17 died after a one-bour
confrontation with the police. As the
objective testimony proceeded I began to
forget my normal subjective empathy
toward a life that was snuffed out.
Dr. Brady, the medical examiner,
testified the many blows to the body
weren't lethal except one "chokdtold"
which was indeterminable. It was
determined that death was caused by
asphyxiation because of body's position
and the police involvement was tenned
excusable homicide. (The jury was
instructed to choose from several
categories the best tenn that would
describe this homicide.)

.
In most of America's inner cities,
crack has ruined the lives of an entire
generation of black children. Crack has
resulted in a catastrophic epidemic of
birth defects, abandoned babies, child
abuse and neglect Law enforcement
agencies in urban areas agree there's a
monthly pattern to this madness:
neighborhoods are relatively quiet in the
last few days of each month, but when

inconsistent or fabricated. These witnesses
described the blows that accounted for
the many marks the examiner found all
over the corpse. I heard no questioning
about the impropriety of the police when
they broke the rule to immediately fCport
a death to the coroner.
It is difficult not to imagine different
reasons for the delay if no questions were
asked. The testimony by the police
indicated that Danny Spencer made
gurgling breathing sounds while be was

on his stomach on the. patrol car floor
with his arms shackled behind him. I
would have thought that was the position
from which one could expectorate and
the lungs would be most expanded.
The process seemed more like a
defense of the police than an inquiry.
Were we directed into thinking that
Danny Spencer victimized himself? He
had taken drugs that resulted in such a
high threshold of pain be could endure
extraordinary punishment. He had drunk
a six-pack and because he was shackled
and placed in a detrimental position
which caused him to breathe vomit into
his lungs, be became asphyxiated.
I began to question the inquiry
process and the training of the police.
After many decades of honing laws and
procedures our system still seemed
flawed. Where were the guarantees of an
impartial or bi-panisan jury? Why was
there no cross examination? Is it because
we need policemen, and we are afraid to
criticize and alienate them?
One has got to delve into the
question of responsibility. One hour after
he resisted arrest and was beatCn by the
police, Danny Spencer was dead. My
personal feeling is that this was not an
intentional killing, but it was not an
accident either. How are police
conditioned to behave? What is the
ideology of the schools which extensively

trained all of these policemen?
I think that if police had studied
history, sociology, psychology, law,
chemistry,
physiology
and
other
disciplines which would shape mature and
of human
responsible
evaluations
behavior, reoccurrences of this tragedy
would have been prevented.
We all have to recognize that our
many lifestyles overlap and conflict with
one another. Freedom is wonderful as
long as it doesn't impinge on someone
else's space. If someone exercises
freedom to the detriment of others,
policemen should be able to make
professional evaluations which include the
recognition and reaction to abnormal
behavior. (What is wrong with a strong
man acting compassionately?) It doesn't
seem professional for a trained policeman
to confront emotion with emotion.
It is especially dangerous when it
motivates an armed policeman against an
unarmed person.
A normal lifetime is short enough.
For some stupid reasons this Danny
Spencer will miss experiences like
enjoying
a
Thanksgiving
dinner,
Christmas holidays, a cooling off swim,
the satisfaction of doing a job, hitting a
ball the sweet spot on a tennis racket,
sailing into the wind, watching a baby
learning to walk, picking berries, feeling
music's rhytlun, etc.

back the tidal wave that threatens to
destroy so much of Black America.
Perhaps cocaine h8s the power to do
what centuries of slavery, discrimination,
poveny and racist violence were :Iot able
to do: wipe out a large portion of Africa

but as the self-inflicted misery continues,
I fear we're "headed for self-destruction."

Well, just that. . It was night time and I
was walking. That's it. Oh; yes, one
other thing ... I am a man. I was a man
walking at night. And for this reason 1
was considered suspect by you.
It is a shame and tragedy the attacks

cenain amount of caution has to be
taken, especially by women. But the
offshoot of these attacks seems to be
people are walking! working! living in
fear of each other on this campus. And I
think it is getting to be a very sad
situation.
1 would like to think Evergreen is a
community, and in a genuine time of
trouble we can tum to each other. But
now, where do you turn if anyone you
see out at night warrants a call to
security. ] shudder 'to think what would

have happened if I had tried to talk with
you. Whether to ask the tame or simply
to point out the shade of blue the moon
was giving off from behind the clouds.
(Did you happen to notice anyway? I
hope so.)
I hope this letter will cause you to
think, just for a moment, about .what an
awful place this would be if the donns
had curfews, or if a person was not safe
to walk on campus at night, not for fear
of being attacked, but the annoyance of
having to answer a lot of questions from

more like sad. Sad at · the level of fear
some people seem to be experiencing on
campus.

P.S. I feel I should mention I have no
complaints against the way security
handled the situation. They simply told
me about the complaint and I explained
that I was merely out for a walk. They
were doing their job. I just wish they
weren't forced to follow me home

I went to "This Cordate Carcass" last
Saturday night. At the end of the
performance as we were all filing out, I
passed a group of young (25ish), white
men. friends, who were reassembling
themselves. One of them said in' a joking
tone, "There's that nigger!" There was a
black woman who was walking three feet
ahead of me, and her body seemed to
flinch and half turn around.
My own body felt as if filled with
wet concrete. I had this expression on my
face in case she did tum around, of,
"God, I'm sorry-- people can be so
stupid," but she dido' t.

As I'm lying in bed that evening I
wonder why she didn't say anything. And
then it occurs to me: Why didn't I say
anything?
That word must have stung that
woman's ears. It makes me think of that
ad on the bus, of the little boy with the
tears running · down his face and the
caption, "Don't use words that hurt."
Next time, I've got to get past the
wet concrete of my own racism to say,
"That word hurts people; you shouJdn ' t
use it."

I was having a bad day. It wasn' t
quite head-in-the-oven... a la Sissy

had blurred the edges of my angst, but
the rock of my spirits was lodged deep

against the man.

6) Rapists know the victim does not want
or enjoy the rape.
7) Dressing modestly is one way to avoid
being raped.
8) Child rapists are always pedophiles.
9) Almost all victims are raped by
someone they know.
10) If a person doesn't fight back

FiJiancial Aid future:

National Service Obligation
by Elisa Coben
In 1anuary 1989, Sen. Sam NUJU\ DGA. and Rep. Dave McCurdy D-Okla.
proposed a bill to congress which would
link student fmancial aid with a National
Service Obligation. I heard about this
proposition while shining my boots in a
US Navy barracks.
I was fuIfilling the active duty
component of my obligation to the US
Navy Reserves in exchange for the New
GI Bill. By January 1989, I had already
gone through the hell and humiliation of
bootcamp, and 9 months of electronic
technician school.
In exchange for 11 active duty
months of towing the military line, and
the promise to complete the rest of my
six year reserve contract with the US
Navy, I am now eligible to receive $140
a month for full-time education.
The day I signed the contract with

my recruiter, there were no other options
for a poor American citizen desiring
funds for higher education. When I heard
about the National Service Obligation
proposal, I sighed . and wished public
service had been an option for me.
Although I vehemently oppose
inandatory national service as a
prerequisite for federal student financial
aid, I Sincerely hope that the slew of
propositions before congress this year
produce
programs
which
will
simultaneously help our nation and the
people who desire, but can not afford a
higher education.
This year in congress 22 different

proposalS for National or Community
Service are being considered. Some have
education or first home down payment
incentives. Others offer below povenywage stipends and training, and the ones
that President Bush advocates have
neither incentives nor wages.
They are part of his Thousand Points
of Light rhetoric, his call to American
volunteerism. Bush is pushing, Congress
to establish a Points of Light Initiative
Foundation which would be a son of
networking apparatuS, used to link

A history of

.9l{{ 1-faC{OW 's t£ve

by Darrel W. Riley
All Hallow's Eve, October 31.
Halloween came from the Celtic
peoples in Europe. It was the evening
before a festival to give thanks to the sun
god, Baal, for giving the light which
gave food and warmth. It was a
celebration of the end of the old year.
Halloween was also the Eve of the
Festival of the Lord of the Dead,
Sarnhain. Halloween was to recognize
that winter was coming.
Death was not always viewed with
the same sense of dread that it is viewed
today. Without death there could not be
life, fO' life is built on death. A plant
grows over the summer, only to die in
the fall leaving in its remains the source
of a new life, fruits and nuts, which
supplied man over the winter imtil the
spring and swnmer came bringing new
life. Animals grew fat over the swnmer,
and were then killed to provide
nomishment over the long winter months.
But death could be cruel In the
Celtic religion, "Druid priests burned
animals, and sometimes people, to gather
omens to predict the new year.
Spirits, as well as people, shared in
the festivities. People put out food for the
spirits to partake in. lest the spirits
become angry and do mischief or worsel
Out of the long-forgotten tradition of
leaving .foods for the spirits comes our
modem tradition of giving food to
children trick-or-treating. The skeletons
seen are a reminder as well of the
holiday's origins in :he Festival of the
Dead, as are the ghost stories.
With so many spirits around it could
be foolish to be recognized . or
unprotected. Many aspects of the world
then were inexplicable. Mysterious causes
gave way to mysterious effects. To
compensate for the mystical nature of the
world people used whatever means they
could to effect change.
To give a common example, the
nursery rhyme, "Ring around the roses,

pockets full of posies, ashes, ashes, we
all fall down" was about the response to
the Black Plague which hit Europe. Not
having any idea that the fleas on rats
were causing the disease, but noticing
that the nicer-smelling houses and people
weren't as likely to get the disease
(Europeans at that time didn't like to take
baths) people put flowers around their
houses (rings of roses) and omons
(pockets of posies). However, the flowers
didn't wO'k very well, so survivors
burned the bodies (ashes) and died
themselves (we all fall down).
Another common · method
of
preventing problems was by scaring the
problem away, usually in masks and
costumes. Powerful spirits and demons
were definitely a problem, so people
wore masks and costumes on Halloween
to scare them away.
The religion of the Druids held sway
over much of Europe before Christianity.
A religion that worships nature and life
must necessarily wlnhip women, for
women are the providers of life.
Therefore, in Druidic religion,
women were powerful forces. The wicca
[witch], from a saxon word meaning wise
one, was a Wise Woman. She could
explain the inexplicable, know the
unknowable, and help those in need with
no other place to turn.
When Christianity arrived, With its
emphasis :on death and the promiSe of an
afterlife, the battle was Oil between the
Druids worship of life and women, and
the Christians abhorrence of life, sex, and
therefore women. The consequences of
this battle are the strange symbols
scattered throughout the holiday.
When the Druidic teaching couldn't
be accommodated by the Christians,
Christians labeled the symbols evil, or
signs of the Devil. Thus, for instance,
wicca often meet in coven, 12 women
and a master. Christians could not
incOlporate the coven into their teaching.
Therefore, not only the coven but also

HALLOWEEN .EXTRAVAGANZA

from Mark Reed Hospital
Halloween has become a favorite
holiday for adults and children. It's a
time for make believe and funt
Unfortunately, it has also become a time
of apprehension as we continually learn
of acts of lampering with candy and
other food stuffs. This year, when your
youngslel's are dressed and ready to go
Irick or treating, Mark Reed Hospital
personnel want you to remember to take
special care:
·Instruct children to bring all treats
home to be examine the parenti
guardian.
·Give children a snack before they
go Irick or treating so they won't
be hungry, therefore less tempted to
eat a treat before it's examined.
·Look closely for amy puncture
marks in candy wrappers. Throw
away any candy that is broken,
unsealed or has loose
wrappings.
*Cut fruit into small sections,
checking for Objects.
·U you suspect your child has
consumed candy that has been
tampered with, phone the Poison
Control Center (1-800-542-6319,
Mary Bridge Children's Health
Center), and/or take your child to
the nearest hospital emergency room.

Preventive measures recommended by
Mark Reed Hospital personnel are:
·Adults to accompany their children.
·Visit only the homes of people you
know.
·Decorate your child in light-colored
clothing flX' better visibility and put
reflective tape on die clothing.
Clothing should also be shoo enough
to prevent lripping.
.Carry a flashlight (no candles,
please), and walk on the sidewallt or
on the side of the street/road facing
traffic, if there is not a sidewalk.
Better yet. go out while it is still

A wizard was brewing magic at die
Capitol Playhouse '24 on the cold. rainy
night of October 20. It was the opening
night of The Sorcerer, a comical operetta
based on the fiction play by Gilbert and
Sullivan.
This production is an unpretentious
operatic satire with a 1890s carnival
setting; filled wilh cocky wizardry, magic
love potions and a cast of lovesick, giddy
town folk.
The play's director, Jeff Kingsbury,
admits in his Director's Notes tIw this
play was not Gilbert and Sullivan's finest
work. KIngsbury added that when he
agreed to direct the play for the Olympia
CholaJe and Light Opera he added
numerous changes to the original script
I suggest you see this play, if you
are fwniliar with the original Sorcerer
and wish to see Kingsbury's new
adaptation or if ypu want to settle
yourself into a comfortable theater chair
and watch local talent acting oUt their
passions for the stage. It is a bit plain,
but loaded with clownish, lighthearted
comedy and operatic talent.
The play tells the story of Aline and
Alexis who fall in love wilh each other
at a Coney Island 90s carnival. Both
become overwhelmed wilh lovesick

carnival should be in love too. So they
visit the booth of the Sorceret -- a
frivolous wizard of the carnival - and
ask him to brew a magic love potion for
the town folk.

for October 26 - 28 at 8 pm, October 29

However, to the dismay of Aline and
Alexis, their love plan fails. The whole
lovesick town becomes humorously
mismatched -- old wilh young, fat with
skinny and rich with poor.
The whole ordeal leaves the Wizard
in witchy hysterics, until an old bag lady
unexpectedly falls madly in love with
him. The joke is on the Sorceret. He
must release the folks from their spellbound state and leave the gala carnival.
This cheerful two-hour production of

President Bush's proposal costs a
fraction of what the other programs cost
but appears to offer virtually nothing for
the money. His proposal is to spend 25
million dollars a
year creating
bureaucratic positions for a handful of
civil servants, whose job would entail
advertising already existing programs.
He denounces the paying of wages or
educational
benefits
explaining
volunteerisrn implies one does it for free.
What President Bush doesn't seem
to realize is that people need to eat, need
to have a roof over their heads, and need
to have hope if they are to contribute to
the health of our society. The President
seems to live in a world in which how
one spends the bulk of one's hours is a
matter of choice. ' For most of us poor
Americans, the gathering of the daily
bread takes the majority of our hours and
our energy. Without an education,
working all the hours in a day does not

was to label the cauldron as evil.

No matter how drWlk we are, we can
tWle up within a few minutes, Ryan
included.
But now, twenty ' minutes later, he
was still crouched in the comer, hugging
his electric guitar and listening to its
notes through the earphones clamped to
his head. He nodded his head slowly as
he tWled up.
"Harmony," he whispered.
"Look man, what's the problem,
anyway, Bayyyy-be7" whined Andy. An
alto sax doesn't require much tWling, so
he was always ready to play before any
of us.
Ryan stood up.'
"Harmooy, man," he murmured.
We looked at him blankly.
He walked over to the amp and
plugged in.
"You see," he said as he raised the
volume. "a lot of people used to think
that the soul was a harmony, like a
'·chord. They thought that as long as the
body was alive, the chord cootfnued
humming. like this."
He released the E string and its note
hummed through' the room.
"The way they saw it, when the body
died," he touched the string and deadened
the note, "the sou] dissolved."
He nodded.
"Pretty bitchin' , huh? That's Aristotle,
man."
Andy snorted. "Hey, help me out on
this," he said, "see, I'm from Earth, man,

commitment of two weekends, one two

a week, in exchange for three thousand
dollars a year for education or a down
payment on a house. The Nunn/
McCurdy proposal, if it does not become
a prerequisite of fmancial aid, is also an
interesting packag~. Their
proposal
allows the participant to spend one year
working full-time for a service agency.
At the end of the year of civilian service,
the participant receives $10,000 for
College or a down payment for a flJSt
house.
All of these programs are for the
energetic person dedicated to both her
own personal growth and to the health of
the nation. One can and should be able
to acquire loans, grants, and scholarships
in order to finance an education.
But these loans must be repaid and
an education does not always guarantee a
healthy economic future. By devoting
oneself to the health of the nation, one
can guarantee one's oWn economic
freedom from frightening educational

But, had there been a National Service
Program with education benefits, I never
would have joined the military.
My experience in the US Navy

What truly angers me is President
Bush is eager to spend billions of dollars
on his war on drugs, and in maintaining
the status quo of the monstrously overbuilt US Military, but when it comes to
addressing the wars which are raging
within our own borders, he simply bows
his head, as if a moment of prayer will
put a roof over a hungry, illiterate
woman's head.
'
By creating a National Service
Program with education and housing
benefits, President Bush could harness an
incredible arnoWlt of human resources in
a peaceful building of a healthier society.
Students would know flJSt-hand what
society needs, from having spent a year
or two actively participating in its
healing. Once in college, they could
recruit others ' to participate while
maintaining their own involvement, or
ideally, tailor their education to a life of

Governance
Liaison ·to Trustees
by Scott A. Richardson
At this week's meeting the Student
Union selected Lydia Cooley to be the
interim liaison to the Board of Trustees.
At the previous meeting the SU had
decided to accept the invitation by the
Board of Trustees to send a student
liaison tothe Board's meetings.
The interim status is due to a
question regarding responsibilities of the
SU Board member for Administrative
Action (not yet hired), who may as part
of his/her duties be appointed liaison to
the Board of Trustees. The position
entails attending the monthly meetings of
the Board of Trustees and weekly
meetings of the SU, in order that
information channels between the two
bodies will be kept open. The next
meeting of the Trustees will be

November 8. .
Debate at the October 25 Student
Union meeting became extended on
several other occasions.
Darrel Riley, whose proposal to
change the SU to a more represenlative
governance structure was rejected at the
previous SU meeting, brought a proposal
to create a campus-wide referendum vote
between his SU-rejected governance
structure and the current SUo
Confusion arose during the half-hour
debate.
Students
questioned
the
constitutionality (SU Constitution) of such
a precedent, SU credibility before the
Board of Trustees, and amending the
present SU document to include some
features of the original Riley proposal.
The proposal to take the question to
referendum failed.

Opinion:

•
IS

sele·c ted

In a related proposal 'Eric Engstrom
brought for discussion a series of
amendments which would allow any
student issue (e.g. such as the debate
over changing governance structure) to be
taken to the student body for a vote or
poll. A vote would become a binding SU
decision while poll results would be used
for informational purposes only.
The proposed amendments ~ere
greeted cordially by those in attendance.
but clarification of some points caused
the item to be referred to committee until
the next SU meeting.
Discussion then moved to a letter to
Ken Winkley. VP of Finance and
Administration, and Gail Martin, VP for
Student Affairs. regarding a security
guard/custodian position. The new
position was proposed by Winkley and

Martin as a solution to the CAB lockup. The proposal stated that the person
hired would remain in the unlocked CAB
during night hours.
Their proposal was to get 67.8% of
the funds for such a position from S &
A fees. The proposed SU response.
drafted by James Dannen, countered by
slating that it should be the college' s
responsibility to ~ study space for
students "that must be fuhded outside of

S & A."
After language slating the SU's
willingness to' approve ' S & A Board
allocations of a lesser amount was
stricken from Dannen's letter, the SU
approved sending the response to the vice
presidents.

Student Union lacks democracy

by Darrel W. Riley
The student government at Evergreen,
The Student Union, is an organization
that doesn't want student input
Over the summer I attended some of
the meetings and noticed that attendance
was sporadic and there was no
constituency to force people to attend As

with everything at Evergreen, if it's not
academic, no one wants to do anything
about it However, the people in charge,
Mary Lou O'Neil, James Dannen, and a
few others (never more then 30) make
decisions which they want to reflect the
student opinion for the entire school.
However, they don't have any way of

canvassing student opinion! I suggested
forming a different government, one with
represenlatives from every seminar
attending so campus opinion could be
sampled regularly and easily. However,
for people who love control this was a
bad idea. The Student Union allows
people to get out of taking responsibility
for their decisions.
I thought maybe I was appealing to
all these

people who love to make decisions. never

or opinions.
Maybe if more students attended the
meetings and saw how badly they are
run, and how entrenched the students
who attend those meetings are, they
might change their opinions about not
showing up for student governmenL But.
barring that, I asked for The Student
Union to put their governance structure

to the test lf students voted for The
Student Union, The Board of Trustees
would have additional reason to respect
the ratification of student opinion.
If they voted against it, maybe it
wasn't such a good system to start with.
But instead of letting a large campuswide student referendum process occur,
The Student Union voted against such a
referendum.
The process was particularly strange
since on a issue that they all agreed with,
guns on campus, they had agreed to a
vote. It seems The Student Union will

keep hearing that's the Evergreen way.
But can we foc once have a system

that impact the campus?

Most often, scientists choose to
ignore, rather than deal with, such things
as Bigfoot and ghosts. They portray UfO
witnesses as "country bumpkins" who
can't tell the difference between a
weather balloon and a spaceship. They
laugh in the face of Bigfoot witnesses.
Being a Fortean requires grasping at
that unattainable ideal; objectivity.
As I report on the strange in
Washington, I will try to be as objective
as possible. I will not make fun of
someone who appears to be genuine. I
will not be kind. however, to such

are often called "Forteans."
Forteans are named after Charles
Fort, who in the 19308 began collecting
newspaper accounts about unexplained
happenings. He wrote several books in
which he cited hundreds of mysterious
events, wbile at the same time ridiculing
mainstream science for continuing to
ignore them.
Basically I could define how I feel
about the unknown in the simple phrase.
"I believe in believers and am skeptical
of skeptics."

World Series shakes Bay Area

Beatles played their last show), when the
earthquake bit
"Damn," he said, "it took me twelve

hours to get home from the park.
Downtown looked like London after
German air raids in World War ll."
"So, I guess it looked pretty bad," I
said.

"Yea. "
Bob got home after walking from
the ball park to Fisherman's Wharf-which

hike-then hopped a boat to Jack London

Ostroushko and Magraw to play
by Jon Epstein
People with an eclectic taste for
music will enjoy the upcoming concert
with Peter Ostroushko (pronounced 0Strew-Shko), and Dean Magraw.
The concert is sponsored by the
campus radio station KAOS (89.3 FM),
which has a policy of broadcasting
independent recordings. KAOS, with over
14,000 records, claims to have the largest
collection of independent recordings on
the west coast.
Ostroushko grew up in a small
Ukrainian neighborhood in Northeast
Minneapolis. He is a flfSt-generation
American and could not speak English
when he staned school. From this slow
start in school Peter has come a long
way. Now in his mid-thirties, he has
recorded on over sixty record albums
including some mandolin work on Bob
Dylan's "Blood on the Tracks" LP.• Peter

Companion has led him to musical
collalxntions with Emmylou Harris, Chet
Aikins, Jethro Burns, Willie Nelson,
Norman Blake, Johnny Gimble, Greg
Brown, John Hartford and Taj Mahal.
He has also recorded an album with
Bertram Levy, a Northwest resident who
founded the annual Festival of American
Fiddle Tunes in Port Townsend.
Ostroushko
has
made
previous
expeditions to the Northwest but this will
be the first opportunity for Olympia folks
to see him without leaving the county.
Ostroushko has been described
as "a musical chameleon" so it is
necessary to know his influences to get
a sense of what you might expect at his
concert.
Take his Ukrainian, East European
upbringing and add country, bluegrass,
celtic, jazz, folk, pop and rock. You may
get some impression for what this could

be like.
Jethro Burns, one of the greatest
mandolinists of our time advised, "Go out
of your way to see Pete.... " That's advite
well taken.
The best way to understand is to
attend the concert on Sunday, October
29th at 7:30 pm, in The Evergreen State
College Recital Hall. Tickets can be
acquired on campus at the TESC
Bookstore or around town at Rainy Day
Records and Positively Fourth Street
Records.
Students,
seniors
and
KAOS
subscribers (those folks who contribute
money to public radio), can buy tickets
for $7.50. Everybody else pays $10. If
you don't have enough information
already you could call KAOS at 8666000, X6397.

Where's Dada? The Surrealists know
by Andrew Hamlin
SURREAUSTS

WHERE'S DADA?
VAGRANT RECORDS

This band's leader is one Erik Forey,
aka Erik 4-A, a student at Evergreen, Wld
he understands how to create the primo
Northwest old-style garage band sound:
sticks can thud the tom-tom and crash
crisply on the snare, but rhythm chords
must hover suspended in the mix, and
lead lines must pop Wld ring as though
they were plucked out with bottle caps.
The wonderful but sometimes
headache-inducing grunge of Mudhoney
or Soundgarden is not for the Surrealists.
Their music reminds me of lying under a
tree with the wind blowing and raindrops
dripping off the leaves; clean and fresh,
but with a bite to it.
The leadoff track is Andy Hunting's
"Instant Railroad," and it's sure to be a
classic. Sprite percussion, peppy jWlgling
guitars, a tune that makes you waggle
your head side to side--AND some
wonderful goofy lyrics on the perception
of time.
1 think · Mr. Hunting invented the
word "prodigio" just to make a clever
rhyme, but it is clever, so I'll let it slide.
(Ha:k, these guys rewrote the last verse
of "Pale Blue Eyes," but I don't mind
that either·-and I'm still ticked at the
Cowboy Junkies for what they did to
"Sweet Jane.")
"The instance will come and g<¥and
we are/rolling through our lives on Wl
instant railroad." Or is that "instants?"
Whichever... tiguring out the lyrics is half
the furi on this disk.
4-A's own compositions are a nicely
varied menu. The dreamy contrapuntal
vocal on "Anyway" makes it ideal for
headphone listening. Seattle journalist
Clayton Park adds some mournful fiddle
to the untitled tune at the start of side
two, a lament of two incompatible lovers.
"I Wanna Be A Northwest Rock
Star" is the record's most irritating track.
Sure it's funny that the hero watches
Mort while dreaming of Letterman, but
grocery list of Northwest musicians
gets tiring.
"Scott McCaughey is my guitar god?"
C'mon guys, you're just as good as the
Fellows--maybe better, 'cuz you haven't

He has recorded five of his own
albums with Hying Fish, Rounder, and
most recently Red House Records. These
are small record companies by industry
standards and are referred to as
"Independent" labels.
An extremely gifted player and
composer of music that is hard to
categorize, Ostroushko's recordings could
be filed under country, bluegrass, jazz,
new age or even Ukrainian folk dancing.
He is not as well known as Leonard
Bernstein but he does have some claim to
fame. For thirteen years he was
instrumental in the production of
American Public Radio's flagship radio
program, A Prairie Home Companion.
Sharing the stage with Garrison
Keillor, Ostroushko was a regular
performer and long-time musical director
for the weekly program. His work with

as opposed to Reed's hoarse mumbling,
and he's backed up by the same clear
clean fresh vegetable music as on the rest
of the tracks.
This version might actually cut
the Velvets' original; where Lou's

musical setting was a little too arch Wld
stiff, the Surrealists gently rock it with
just the right amount of jWlgle Wld
twangy bass.
In their hands the song becomes
a respirating piece of music instead of a
flat dirge cranked out like an old piano
roll.
One fmal note: the second side
of this album has a dot matrix picture of
the guys on the label and it's real fun to

watch'em spin around.
The back cover says that it's a
"Very Limited Edition Disc," so grab it
if you can. It speaks very well for
Northwest music and for Greeners as
musicians, and for the not-thrash-butstill-rockin' garage band movement as a
whole.
