Sexual assaults plague Evergreen
by Honna Metzger
Two sexual assaults were reponed in
the last week on the Evergreen campus.
The first incident took place at about
9: 10 pm Septemb& 28. The female
Evergreen student was walking between
the CAB and the Library when a man
grabbed her wrists. She broke free and
fled to the dorms with the suspect in
putSuit.
When Campus Security responded to
the victim's telephone call, the suspect
could not be located.
The attacker is described as in his
20's, dark-complexioned, about 5'5" in
height, thin of build (about 130 lbs.),
with dark hair and thick eye-brows. He
was wearing a striped, short-sleeved shirt,

corduroy pants, and dirty tennis shoes.
The second incident occurred on
Octob& 2 at 5:45 pm, on the trail
between Parking Lot F and the beach.
Security Chief Gary Russell said the male
suspect made harassing, inappropriate
comments to two female students, ran or
jogged passed them, then came towards
them from behind on the trail, and at that
point actually grabbed the women.
When the women resisted, the suspect
fled. By the time Security received the
women's call and arrived on the scene,
the suspect had fled.
The attacker of the October 2
incident is described as a white male in
his mid-20's, 6'1" in height, of medium
build, with blue eyes, and blond hair,

wearing gray, leopard-spotted bikini-type
briefs, and white tennis shoes with thick
gray socks. He was bare-chested but
carrying a blue t-shirt.
Security chief Gary Russell said the
TESC campus presents a severe security
obstacle: the delayed reporting of
incidents due to the lack of phones
outside of the main campus.
By the time Security arrives at the
scene, Russell pointed out, "the trail is
cold."
Russell said President Joe Olander is
forming a Public Safety DlF, which will
plan for phone installation in remote
areas of the campus.
Similar incidents occurred in late
summer, Russell added. The suspect was

described as wearing bikini-type briefs,
and as having black hair.
A composite sketch will be posted
within the next few weeks.
Until the suspect or suspects are
detained, Russell urges women "to make
a conscious decision about whether they
should go in twos or in larger numbers,"
and also to consider what time of day
they go.
Volunteers, men and women, are
needed for the Crimewatch escort service
(call x6140 for info.)
Anyone with information concerning
the above attacks can call Security at
866-6000, x6l40.

By Edward Martin III
The security blollcr has generated the
most reaction by far than any of our new
features . Friday after the last publication,
I overheard a person reading the blouer
out loud. "Three guys playing frisbee in
the nude," he said. "Y'know, I read
about people playing frisbee in the nude
and I think to myself... Thele's all this
talk on campus about how we're
becoming another Ivy League, Republican
College from Hell. But then, I read
articles about nude frisbee players and I
think again. Evergreen - You might like
it, you might hate it, but it's still a freak
show."

What motives lie behind Hill's firing?
KOMO-TV's Town Meeting show
will focus on campus violence on
Sunday, October 8 at 6 pm at the
University of Washington.
K'OMO
welcomes
Evergreen
students, faculty and staff to join - the
audience by calling the station at 44344168 for free tickets.
Security officers at Evergreen will be
required to carry firearms if a recently
drafted bill is passed by the State
Legislature.
Sen. Bill Smitherman, (D-Tacoma)
announced plans on September 15 to
submit a bill requiring all of the state's
colleges and universities to have armed
security personnel.
Citing violent acts at Evergreen and
the
University
of
Washington,
Smitherman said the legislation is
necessary to ensure prompt response by
officers to crime scenes.
"When a student is facing a lifethreatening situation, seconds can mean
the difference between life and death,"
said Smitherman. "Students must be
assured that no matter what time of day,
they can walk from class to class
knowing their campus is safe."
Evergreen and Western Washington
State University are the only colleges in
the state without armed security officers.
The Evergreen Amnesty International
campus chapter is currently searching for
volunteers interested in helping to
organize community actions to help end
worldwide human rights abuses. Interested

students should call Whitney, 866-2058
for more information.
A self-defense workshop for women
will be offered by a campus support
group in response to an increase of
violent acts against female students in
recent days.
Feminists In Self-defense Training
(FIST) will organize a workshop during
the third week of each quarter during the
current academic year. '
The first workshop will be held on
Wednesday, October 11, in CAB llO
from 5:30-8:30 pm. The class will cover
information, physical and verbal selfdefense practices, and will include a
discussion period.
Up to 35 spaces are available for the
Fall class. To reserve a spot, call the
FIST office at 438-0288.

Committee members will meet in the
Old Main Room 340 on the campus at
10 am. Among the topics slated for
discussion will be assessment activities
and the arming of campus police.

The Higher Education committee of
the State LegislaIUre will meet in
Bellingham at Western Washington
University on October 26 to hold a
public hearing on several IOpics that
effect Evergreen.

by Tedd Kelleher
Evergreen President Joe Olandtz
came under attack from faculty last
summer for requesting the resignation of
Vice President of Academic Affairs &
Provost Patrick Hill. Because of state
laws protecting persoonel issues, neither
0l8nder nor Hill will comment on the
reasons for Patrick's firing.
Olander's request has changed several
times since June, when he first asked for
Hill's resignation. The effective date was
moved from June 15, 1989 10 June 30,
1990 after . the faculty and academic
deans contested Olander's decision.
Olander told the faculty during a
faculty meeting last week that he has
asked Hill to compile a portfolio
evaluation of his provostship over the last
six years, and said he will meet with Hill
no later than November 15 to either
confirm or not confum his decision based
on the portfolio.

Andrew Hanfrnan, a member of
Evergreen's faculty since 1972, died
September 26, of bone cancer.
Provost Palrick Hill recalls an August
II reception in Hanfman's honor, with
his closest colleagues, held at Hill's
home. Hanfman asked why he, who was
not a founding facUlty member, was
being honored.
"I IOld him that if he hadn't brought
his staggering knowledge of language and
cullUre 10 Evergreen, we would not have
been a college," says Hill,
.
Hanfman was born in Russia in 1913,
and became a naturalized American
citizen in 1952. He studied in Germany,
and in 1937 earned a Ph.D. in modern
languages and comparative literature from
the University of Turin, Italy.

Hanfman fluently spoke Russian,
German, Lithuanian, Italian and French,
and had proficiency in many other
languages .
From 1951 to 1972, Hanfman worked
for the Central InteUigence Agency.
There he was a translalOr of Russian
material, and a senior linguist and head
of the Eastern European Languages
Department at the CIA Language School.
He also collected and analyzed political,
cultural and economic data on the USSR
and East European counlries.
From 1947 through 1951, Hanfman
held teaching positions at Kenyon
College, Ohio, and Indiana University. In
addition . to his teaching duties at
Evergreen, Hanfman also directed the
college's Language and Culture Center.

evaluatioos. But the president expressed
doubts about such a system because of
the nature of administrative work.
"I have heard a lot of faculty talk
with me about how they'd like evaluation

of administrators, from directors to
president, to be evaluations based on
what they do with students ... I'm not sure
that's going to work," Olander said

Electrocution on campus
by Miguel Ramos
David Malcolm, an Evergreen
maintenance mechanic and Slage and
lighting director was electrocuted August
7 while working on a campus lighting
problem.
Malcolm, known also for his work
with community theater productions, was
electrocuted when a direct ground fault
caused his body to ground to a junction
box located near the kennels behind Lab
U.
A hot wire caused the junction box
itself to be hot, and the pole and
surrounding perimeter fence to be a
ground. When Malcolm touched both the
box and the fence he was electrocuted.
An investigation by the state
Department of Labor and Industries
revealed that there were no violations and
Evergreen could not have prevented the

accident, said department spokeswoman
Barbara Dunn.
Jill Lowe, safety officer for TESC
facilities, said Malcolm "was a well
qualified worker ... he was very safety
conscious. "
George Leago, Malcom's supervisor,
also praised Malcolm's expertise in
lighting.
"He was probably the second most
accomplished electrician that worked for
me," Leago said, adding that Malcolm
was also a member of the safety
committee.
Besides working for maintenance,
Malcolm also held a master's degree in
fme arts and was a TESC student. He
was a respected stage technician both on
campus and in the Olympia area.
David Malcolm is survived by his wife,
Roberta, and their son Sean.

Harvest Fair is coming
by Barrett Wilke
The usually tranquil Evergreen State
College Organic Farm will erupt in a
wild, gala celebration to close the end of
the growing season this Sunday from II
am to 6 pm.
Harvest Fair is a traditional event that
brings in aU sorts of folks: college
students, local growers utilizing or
interested in organic gardening methods,
and TESC neighbors looking for an
entertaining and informative afternoon.
As the name of fair implies, the main
attraction is the food. The farm will serve
pasta primavera with red sauce featuring
their own organic produce. There will be
a small variety of fruits and vegetables
from the farm and another local organic
farm, Small Wonder.
Fairgoers can also enjoy soul food,
goods from the Blue Heron Bakery, and

Planned
Parenthood

the famous salmon burger stand will be
there as well.
If
you
make
a
mean
huckieberry/rhubarb pie, or any other
kind, bring one down to the Farm House
by noon. The best pie will be judged,
and the winner can expect some kind of
organic prize.
The fair is also a great place to bring
children. After a short scenic walk
through the Evergreen woods, they can
enjoy activities like storytelling, a petting
farm, and childrens movies .- including
Dr. Seuss. They also can take part in a
scarecrow making contest (bring some old
clothes for this event).
The Harvest Fair may be the last
outdoor festival of the season, and it's
only a 15 minute walk from Red Square
or B-Parking Lot Admission and all
workshops are free.

HEC Board rejects standardized testing
by Assessment Study Group members
At its May 1989 meeting, the Higher
Education Coordinating Board accepted
the recommendation of a task force
representing the 2- and 4-year rolleges of
the state that standardized tests not be
required of students to document effective
teaching and learning.
Instead of requiring standardized
tests, the HEC Board has asked each
rollege and university to design its own
strategies for assessing the quality of
teaching and learning.
Evergreen, with the other colleges in
the state, has negotiated a major hurdle
with the HEC Board. To be asked to
document that the College does what it
claims to do was not unreasonable.
Dictating how we docwnent those claims
was unreasonable.
Members of Evergreen's Assessment
Study Group, romposed of faculty, staff,
students and alumni, believe we have
been given an extraordinarY opportunity.
We now have the latitude, and the
fmancial suppon, to remain faithful to the
values of the rollege and be creative in

designing useful strategies to describe and
evaluate teaching and learning at
Evergreen. The ball is in our rourL
Evergreen's
Study
Group
has
embarked on a nwnber of imaginative
projects already, among .them, a videotape
of faculty, students and alumni discussing
the teaching and learning experience and
Evergreen.
We look forward to supporting
additional projects suggested by members
of the Evergreen community.
A request for proposals inviting
faculty, staff and students to submit
descriptions of projects designed to
evaluate teaching and learning at
Evergreen has been circulated on campus.
Copies are available from the Student
Communication Center, the Library
Reference Desk and the Dean's Area.
We

Anything for guns?
The Cooper Point Journal accepts
opinion p~ces. guest editorials, and
letters in response or addressing pertinent
topics.
by Kevin Boyer
The cover story of !he October 2,
1989 issue of The Olympian titled
"Evergreen: An issue of campus security"
was not only decidedly one-sided but also
irresponsible,
creating
an
ugly
advertisement for would-be rapists and
thieves.
"
"Let me show you a couple of areas
where a girl could be dragged and she
could scream until she couldn't scream
any more and nobody would ever hear
her," security officer Robert Anderson
was quoted as saying in the article.
It went on to describe areas where
doors are habitually left unlocked and
expensive equipment is stored.
"Doors adjacent to loading rampS also
were unlocked, an open invitatiOfl for
thieves who wanted a handy place to

load up !heir loot," said The Olympian.
This irresponsible jouma1ism did not
shed light on an already difficult problem
(campus
security),
but
instead
unjustifIably furthered !he ' cause of
security's request for guns on campus.
Why does The Olympian insist on
continually siding with !he guns-oncampus advocates instead of focusing on
what Evergreen as a community wants
and/or what is being done now to
alleviate the justifiable fears of the
community?
The sensationalist style of writing
buried some of !he ludicrous findings.
Among other things, the Olympian's
midnight tour with security found
sleeping students, one near fresh graffiti.
Like most students, he had some pens on
him, "but none matched the color or size
of the markings" said !he Olympian. Fine.
Then why mention it at all? Even if the
pens did match, would a graffiti artist
drop down for a snooze under his latest

illicit creation?
The Olympian shouldn't take all !he
blame for the article however. It was
security who gave the grand tour to
prove their point of unsafe working
conditions on the Evergreen campus.
By giving the tour, Security made
their own job more difficult by providing
access information to criminals, made
themselves look bad by revealing locked
doors &hey should have taken care of
(specifically administration doors), and
most importantly,
let !he Evergreen
community down AGAIN by going
behind our backs.
They not only alienated themselves
from &he students but from the
administrators as well.
Does security want guns so badly
lhat they are willing to jeopardize the
well-being of the Evergreen population to
prove their point?

"Notes· for Joe"
by Joe Olander
This is the FlTst edition of a weeldy
column written by Evergreen president
J(H Olander addressing issues of concern
to the campus community.
In the Evergreen tradition of
seminaring about seminars, I am writing
this colwnn about this colwnn. As the
Fall marks the begirming of a new
academic year, it is appropriate to reflect
on the dawning of past academic years-which could lead us, naturally enough, to
memories of our childhood.
Let us
begin there .
Children sometimes play a game
called "telephone" at their social
gatherings. Maybe you remember playing
it Participants stand in a line. The
child at the beginning of the line
whispers a sentence into the ear of the
child standing next to her. That child,
in tum, repeats what she heard into the
ear of the next child in line.
The whispering continues until the
last child says the sentence out loud.
Then the rust child repeats the original
sentence. What began as ,"I am not a
crook, and Checkers is here to stay" may
end up as "I am knocked and rooked,
and speckles in beer today."
The children usually laugh at the

absurdity of the changes. Supervising
adults sometimes take the oppornmity to
extract a lesson from the game:
"Remember,
kids,
don't
believe
everylhing you hear!"
I am not going to offer that
interpretation of the "telephone game"
because that is not the primary point I
wish to make. The "telephone game"
illustrates a remarkable fact about the
difficulties of simple communication,
whether among a group of friends
playing "telephone," or among the
students, staff and faculty of a ~malI,
alternative, liberal arts college. '
Participants in the "telephone game"
don't necessarily attempt to distort the
sentences they repeat. The sentences
distort through !he dynamic of being
heard, understood, and repeated via an
imperfect language created by imperfect
humans.
Communication has long been
identified as a "problem" at this college.
It's a problem that a weekly column
written by !he president cannot begin to
address comprehensively. I view this
colwnn as iust one more structure to
facilitate communication. But I do nOl
just want to talk at you through the
written word. Effective communication is

inherently interactive.
Television, long a bastion of passive
entertainment and communication, no
longer has to be subjected to lhat
criticism. If you can afford it, you can
buy equipment !hat allows you to interact
with the television. You can become a
part of the action. If I could jettison
myself into the future and return wi&h
one piece of equipment, I would reLOrn
wi!h a joystick or a keyboard that would
enable !he reader to fully interact wi!h
this column.
In !he absence of a practical means
for time travel, we have a shoebox
labelled "Notes for Joe" in Library 3109.
We have pens and typewriters and reams
of paper as tools for utilizing the
shoebox. We have an opportunity to set
the agenda for the colwnn, and the
chance to feel the thrill of seeing our
ideas in print.
Evergreeners have no lack of
questions, concerns, observations, and

help you out with one hand while
threatening to kill you wi!h the other
hand?
Would you accept his help out of the
pit while dodging the deadly weapoo in
his other hand, or would you refuse · his
"help" altogether?
While the answer seems obvious, it
poses a difficult dilemma for many of
today's African American leaders, who
often accept doUars from giants bearing
both gifts and swords.
The benevolent but deadly giants are
America's
tobacco
and
alcohol
companies, who have been showering
black communities with advertising and
charity dollars for years.
They are among !he most stalwart
supporters
of the United Negro
Scholarship Fund, the National Urban
League, and many other black-oriented
organizations.
These companies also spend millions
to sponsor sports. arts and cultural
programs oriented
toward
African
Anlericans.
In addition, many black
newspapers and magazines COWlt cigarette
and alcoholic beverage advertisements as
their largest and most consistent sources

of advertising income, wilbout which they
would have a difficult time surviving.
Defenders of the alcohol and tobacco
industries say that no other large
corporations are waiting in the wings to
replace their huge advertising and charity
dollars that would be lost if they __are
forced to withdraw from the black
community.
So why shouldn't African American
publications and organizations gladly
accept the dollars invested by tobacco
and alcohol companies?
Because help isn't really help if it's
trying to kill you at the same time. And
lhat's exactly what Ibose alcohol and
tobacco companies are doing. They're
killing us slowly, wi!h America' s most
inexpensive and addictive legal drugs.
Look at the statistics. Cancer, stroke
and heart disease, all diseases linked to
smoking and drinking, strike and kill
African Americans at higher rates - as
much as 10 times higher - than they kill
white Americans, according to national
health studies.
A recent government report showed

White males as a group have been
cutting back their consumption of alcohol
and tobacco, while black males and all
women are smoking and drinking at
higher rates since 1980.
As white males have been

why did the federal govemment ban

There is no dilemma here. It's time

Introducing Bigfoot
A weekJy column of strange happenings in
the evergreen state.

by Chris Bader
This year Washington celebrates its
100th aIUliversary as a state. It is only
too fitting that the Centennial Committee
chose Bigfoot to be our states' centennial
mascot.
Bigfoot, for those unfamiliar with
monster lore, is a large, hairy, man-like
being sighted in forests all across
America.
Although many hundreds of people
claim eyewitness encounters with the
beast, it is still unrecognized by scientists
as a real animal.

The modem legend of Bigfoot sprang
to life in California during the late 1950s
when a road crew deep in the woods
began fmding gigantic man-like footprints
around their site. The press soon heard of
the story and aptly named the unseen
creature, "Bigfoot."
Although the name "Bigfoot"
originated in California, Washington also
has a flJ1ll grip on the legend. In fact,
Washington has more reporled Bigfoot
sightings than any othez state or province
in North America.
Bigfoot witnesses describe the
creature as ranging in he!ght from five to
eight feet; but some claim to have seen

specimens up to twelve feet tall.
The monster usually has black or
brown hair which covers all .of its body,
except for the palms and parts of its apelike face, and reportedly has quite a
stench about it
Although witnesses sometimes say
that the creature lets out blood-curdling
screams, it appears to be quite timid,
running at the mere sight of man.
Skamania County in Southwestezn
Washington has had its own curious
relationship with the Bigfoot legend.
During the 1960s, Bigfoot sigh~gs
were so p~valent that county ~fficials

There were ttees, nourished by
streams of light coming through the
broken ceiling, growing in the cathedral.
The cathedral collapsed in an earthquake
on Christmas Eve in 1972 and broken
pieces of the stained glass windows still
lie on the surrounding ground. The
resources for rebuilding the church are
needed in other, more crucial, areas. This
is in Managua, Nicaragua.
. Nicaragua, as most of us have read
or ,heard aboUt in the news, is a country
about half the size of Oregon that has
been struggling for many years. It is a
country where revolutionary forces, the
Sandinistas, still hold powez after 10
years of war. And, although it is a
country that only has 6 elevatas, it is
being pushed and pulled with other
countries' political and economic agendas.
Through all of these ideological and
powez wrestling matches it is the people
of Nicaragua who have suffered.
This past summez Sarah HolmesGraff and I spent one month in
Nicaragua on an environmental work
brigade with the Nicaraguan Network.
After an orientation in Managua we lived
with Martha Sanchez and her family in
Matagalpa, Nicaragua while doing
volunteez work on a reforestation project
at a local cooperative.
We also had the opportunity to meet
with many people and groups in the
community whose ideologies ran the
gamut of the political spectrum.
In addition, we were able to visit a
maximum security prison, EI Coi; coffee
cooperatives; AMNLAE, a woman's
group; Vetezans for Peace, and their well-

creature from would-be "Bigfoot hunters."

Part of the ordinance reads ... "any
premeditated, willful and wanton slaying
of any such creature shall be deemed a
felony punishable by a fme not to exceed
..•SlO,OOO and/or imprisonment in the
county jail for a period not to exceed
five years,"
Sadly, Skamania County lessened the
fme for killing a SasqUatch to a paltry
SI000 back in 1984.
Even so, Washington still ranks as
the only state to protect its friend and
mascot; "Bigfoot."

Studios stiff-arm cheap seat theaters
by Edward Martin ill
Supporlers of the $1.00 and $1.50
bargain cinemas had bettez prepare for
rough times ahead. As an action to
eliminate a perceived threat by discount
movie houses, Paramount Pictures has
issued a new ticlcet policy for all of its
new releases.
This policy begins with Paramount's
two biggest releases last summec, Indiana
Jones and the Last Crusade and Star Trek.
V: The Final Frontier and will consist of
Paramount requiring either $1.05 or 35%
of each ticket sold, whichever is highest
Any movie house showing a
Paramount picture will lose money on
each ticket unless the price exceeds
$1.05. This policy will most directly
affect ticket prices under $3.00.
Paramount claims that the price hike
is a direct response to bargain theatres
drawing moviegoers from the more
mainstream, fmt-run theatres, where
ticket prices can be as high as S7.50 (the
highest ticket prices in Olympia are
$6.(0).

Bargain theatre ownezs claim that
there really is no competition, since fmtrun movies are not usually shown at
bargain theatres until they have made all
their major money at fmt-run theatres
and Paramount's new policy is designed
only to eliminate competition while
squeezing even more money from a fIlm.
Other
moviemakers,
such
as
Universal Studios, have made no similar
decision. Universal's next planned hit is
Back to the Future Part II and any new
price policy will likely be reflected in its
release.
The A1derwood Village Cinema 12 in
Lynnwood, one of the largest and newest
bargain theatres in the area, has countered
Paramount's drive for higher prices by
charging $2.50 only for Paramount's Star
Trek V: The Final Frontier, additionally
posting photocopies of the original article
(Wall Street JownaI; July 18, 1989)
heralding the new policy.
They have refused to change their
regular
pricing,
emphasizing
the
originators of the price hike.

The prices of Olympia's State
Theatre, as well as the Lacey Cine~,
are set by Act ill Luxury Theatres m
PortIan!i, Oregon.
A representative of Act ill stated that

she knew of no new price policy by
Paramount At the moment, all ticket
prices are still $1.50, more than
reasonable considering the kind of quality
films this summez spawned.

embargo which, according to Nicaraguan
Governmental
statistics,
has
cost
Nicaragua S315 million in direct income
(the US was the (rimary imporler for
Nicaraguan coffee).
Much of the machinezy in Nicaragua
is US manufactured and the lack of spare
parts causes them to fall into disuse.
Nicaragua was traditionally dependent on
US spare parts, raw materials, and
markets for its goods and the trade
embargo replaces that dependency with a
slap in the face. US economic aggression
goes even farther- the US has participated
in blOCking loans and discouraging allies
to provide loans to Nicaragua.
During my visit I was amazed at the
generosity and understanding of the

people of Nicaragua Most of the people
I talked with were able to clearly
differentiate between the people of the
United States and our governmental
policies.
There have been a lot of Americans
volunteering their help and eyes in
Nicaragua as well as sending material
aid. These people have helped to draw
attention to the current situation in
Nicaragua and, in doing so, helped to
turn up the volume about the quiet
killing.
Kristin Rowe. an Evergreen student,
visited Nicaragua this summer on an
enviromental work brigade. This report Is
the first of a series on her experiences.

Scholarship service lacking

official FSLN newspaper; KlSAN Por La
Paz, a group which represents the
indigenous peoples of the Atlantic Coastal
Region; CNASP, a Nicaraguan Human
Rights Organization; ANCLA, a woman's
group; and the United States Embassy,
which is our second most fortified
embassy in the world.
As the war is subsiding, conditions
for the people of Nicaragua, on the
whole, are improving. This means there
is food to be bought in stores, but it
doesn't mean people have money to buy
it
Political
conditions
also
are
improving, although there is still some
Contra activity. Inflation is more under
control and democratic elections are
scheduled for next February.
There are 21 opposition parties to
the current party in power, the
Sandinistas. FOUrleen of those parties
have come togethec to form a broad
based opposition block and they are
called "UNO". Many of the Nicaraguans
that I have spoken with did not care
much who won the elections as long as
the killing and fighting is stopped.
One of the reasons that I traveled to
Nicaragua was to attempt to look back on
my own country, the United States, and
obtain a new clarity. The US is
continuing its economic war against
Nicarajtua as it continues the trade

by Michael Jackson
"Please accept our best wishes for
success in continuing your education."
1 have seen that phrase several times
in my search for scholarships and
internships. This began when I sent away
to a scholarship search service, the
scholarship research group.
Unfortunately, the data sheet and $44
dollar fee charged by the service 1 used
yielded little financial aid information that
I could use.
This became increasingly apparent
aftez 1 wrote to almost twenty financial
aid sources (foundations, businesses, and
contests). I received responses which
almost invariably contained the close:
"Please accept our best wishes..." or
·Unfortunately, our scholarship program
is open only to... "
Before sending away to all these
"sources of funding," the scholarship
service had to send me a list of the
sources I qualified or could qualify for
aid from, which the sezvice determined
from the data sheet I sent them with my
money.
I thought the service would provide
me with scholarship information more
recent than that available in annually

published financial aid information
available from a library.
Actually, the information I received,
although relatively recent, did not tell me
anywhere near the information an aIUluai
publication could. Close
to no
information. Here is an entry typical of
those I received on my printout:
name: Young Scholars Program
amoomtofawmd: SUXO
address: National Endowment for the
Humanities
1100 Pennsylvania Avenue NW
Room 426
Washington, D.C. 20506
type of award: scholarship
eligibility: Not specified
I received more information on this
program from an article in one of last
year's issues of the South Puget Sound
Community College (SPSCC)'s school
newspaper, Sounds. That article reported
that 158 of 724 applicants from high
schools and colleges were accepted
(approximately 20%) for the $2000
award.
Why couldn't the service provide
such information? Perhaps simple laziness
on the part of the service, aid sources.

Where to fi nd coffee In Olympia?

Mike Tyson says "Soup for dinner?"
by Tom Pereira
Since I've come to TESC I've met
two distinctly different types of peoplethose that don't like bolling and those
that think that I'm evil for watching iL
Fine, bask in your ignorance.
Anyway, the senior boxing circuit is
in full effect It has been for, well, far
to long, starting with Muhammed Ali Cassius Clay, that is.
One of Muhammed's favorite
opponents was, of course, the bald man,
George Foreman.
OK,
now
George
is
about
fortysomething (not thirtysomething) and

has been knocking over the worst kind of
tomato-can heavy weight boxers ever
since he came back to the professional
boxing ranks. So now he wants to fight
Gerry Cooney. Alright, go ahead, that
would be cool. The winner of this
nonsense then wants to take on 'Iron'
Mike Tyson for a title shot.
Two old-over-the-hill-guys with really
bad speech problems that think that they
have some sort of shot with a guy that is
23 years old, in great shape (these guys
are fat as well as old), has a great
mock-{}ut punch, and is probably the best
heavy weight champion of all times. All

I got to say is: ha ha ha ha ha hal
Do you remember the fight with
Michael Spinks, the 9)-second thrilla' in
the lovely Trump Plaza in beautiful
downtown Atlantic City? It was high
comedy, I assure you. A fight between
Tyson and either Foreman -the likely
choice- or Cooney would be even
funnier.
Why would two men (granted not
bright) think that they can escape good
01' pops time when nobody before them
ever could? Ego? The money? Perhaps
the babes?
Maybe they like to get
pummeled at the hands of younger and

more fit men.
George Foreman says that all of the
money he makes is going to the church
that he is the minister of -sorta like
father Bill A worthy cause.
Gerry Cooney said he just wants 10
have another shot ("I could have beep a
I could have been
contender.
somebody.").
Well, gentlemen, let me give the rest
of the world some advice for you -it is
impossible to live in shadow of past
glories, SO DON'T TRY!

Internships provide diverse opportunities
by Iackie McClure
Internship& provide an opportunity for
students to earn college level credit for
gaining practical or "hands on" learning
experience. Well-designed internships can
bridge classroom theory with practice in
the "real world" of work:.
Internships can be conducted in
almost every conceivable type of setting,
including private business and industry,
agencies of city, county, state and federal
govenunent, non-profit organizations.
farms, museums, art studios and schools.
Though
most
internships
are
conducted off-campus, othezs may take
place out-{}f-swe or on Evergreen's
campus.
Evergreen's Cooperative Education
Office (Co-op Ed) serves as a resource
and referral center for internships. Co-op

Ed can help students locate an internship
placement that matches your skills and
interests with an organization or project
Co-op Ed can also assist students in
clarifying
learning
objectives,
documenting objectives and experience in
your Internship Learning Contract, and
helping locate faculty sponsorship.
To be eligible to conduct an
internship students must ·have completed
one quarter of satisfactory work: at
Evergreen and be a junior Qr senior level
student (exceptions are made for students
who are enrolled in a program with a
built-in internship compooent).
Specific internships may also require
special minimum qualificalions for
referral and placement
Special opportunities for Winter and
Spring quarters, 1990, include a two
quarter internship program at Microsoft
in Bellevue, Washington, and Winter
quarter internships with the Washington
State Legislature for the 1990 legislative
session.
Admission to each of these programs
is limited, competitive and requires a

separate application. Applications and
information about these programs are
available in the Co-op Ed office.
Planning for internships should begin
at least six weelcs prior to the quartez in
which the internship will be conducted.
Students interested in pursuing an
internship should complete a request
form, available in the Co-op Ed office,
Library 1407, and plan 10 attend an
orientation session. Winter quarter
internship requests should be received in
Co-op Ed no later than November 20,
1989.
Co-op Ed offers orientation sessions

throughout the quarter to help you
understand the internship planning
process. Orientation sessions for students
interested in Winter quarter internships
will be held Mondays and Wednesdays
through November 15 from 3-4 pm in
Lib. 1406A.
Co-op Ed Counselors are available
by appointment or during Cooperative
Education's Drop-in Hours: Tuesday,
Wednesday and Thursday 3:00 - 4:30

LOUDER THAN LOVE
A&M RBcoRns
by Dan Snuffm
Fans asked the fatal question when
Soundgarden signed on with A&M
records: Will they sell out?
The very thought of the gods of
grunge taming their guitarS for a bii
label was enough to keep most of us fans
awake at 2 am, lying in a cold, sticky
sweat the night before it was released.
Then the moment came. Louder Than
Love was in my hands. I pulled the
cassene out of the child-proof cellophane
wrapper and stuck it in the tape deck, my
fmgers twitching like a Catholic
accountant on the day of judgment.
Tum the volume up.
Hit play.
Hiss.
GRUNGE!
As that beautiful sound reverberated
in my plaster walls, I offered up a donut
and some Vivarin to the gods of grunge
and gave thanks. TIlings were as good as
they could be in a state with a 7.8%
sales tax.
Needless to say, this album will boil
your breakfast cereaL

The only change here is the
production quality, and that was no real
sacrifice.
Chris Comell is still wailing like a
banshee with that "my dog wants out"
gleam that only he can deliver. And the
music, the music makes all the little hairs
on the back of your neck stand at
attention.
The music will process your brain in
soch a manner that not even household
appliances can live up 10. Like I said,
it'll boil your breakfast cereal. Even your
Captain Crunch.
Smell the beat in "Loud Love," "Full
on Kevin's Mom" and "Ugly Truth." Eat
the quitar of "Hands AllOver." Sing the
chorus of "Big. Dumb Sex' over and over
for your friends and relatives. They'll
love you for it
This monster even comes with lyrics
so you can understand the nonsense.
Gasp! - sacred words revealed!
All in all, Soundgarden's Louder
Than Love rules the wasteland. And it's
really good for drowning out that Dead
tape your roommate keeps playing over
and over again that reminds you of
recycled cow. And it's neato.

Brash Beasties sport eggs, shoelaces
by Andrew Hamlin
TIIB BIlASTlI! BoYS
PAUL'S BoITl1QUB

CAPJI'OL REcoRDS
WeU, actually it's "Beastie Boy
Records" if you believe the label logo on
the disk/cassette.
But there's a little notice at the
bouom saying the alteration was done
with "the pennission of Capitol Records."
And not without good reason.
The Beastie's debut album, Licensed
to 1/1, became the first number one rap
record and sold more copies than any
other debut album in the history of
Columbia Records.
When people like this defect from
their old label and move to yours; you
give them the red carpet treatment, cut a
liule slack. "Let'em mess with the logo,
what the heck. Yeah, let'em have the
eight-panel fold-out album cover (first
pressing only), a year from now we
won't have to make album covers
anymore.
A lyric sheet? They're a RAP band,
right? Wbatever... no spaces between the
songs? I'm hip man, I'm hip, the Beat1es
used to ...oh, there's gonha be some
Beatles on THIS record? Uh-HUH. Good,
good .. .ten seconds of banjo plucking that
goes by the name of 'Five-Piece Chicken
Dinner'? I can hang, I can hang."
Okay, so the Boys (Adam "King AdRock" Horovitz, Mike D, and Adam
"MCA" Yaunch) like to make record
executives work for their money.
Paul's Boutique will make quite a
haul for their new management--it's more
intricate and musically beefy than their
debut, the rhymes are siUier than ever,
and the world's richest brats are
unexpectedly
advocating
social
responsibility (although they'U never
appear on a double bill with Joan Baez,
or even the Surgeon General).

by Dan Snuffm
I like this.
For an album that heralds lello
Biafra's return to the music scene, The
Power of Lard suffered from an extreme
lack of publicity.
Sure, I saw ads in magazines and
liule puny reviews, but nothing big. I
guess I just expected someone to say
"HE'S BACK!" real loud with lots of
enthusiasm. But nobody did.
Too bad, because this album is worth
making a big deal about, depending on
who you are. I am me, and I like this.

at this point This is not "the Dead
Kennedys release III album under a
ALTERNATIVE

r-----------------,
NEW

Like De La Soul's 3 Feet High and
Rising or any record by Firesign Theater,
this album is a self-contained miniature
world, a land of constant activity and
surprise.
It opens and closes with a beatJess
keyboard reverie called "To All The
Ladies," and side two starts out with the
aforementioned banjo opus before sliding
into "Looking Down The Barrel Of A
Gun," a distorted outlaw luUaby.
The Beasties interrupt songs to take
bong hits and shout encouragement to
one another.
The samples on this album could
drive an eclectic DJ up the wall; the ones
I can identify include Public Enemy,
KRS-One
from
Boogie
Down
Productions, the Beatles, the Ramones,
the "Psycho" Soundtrack, and Desmond
Dekker's "Draw Your Brakes."
The lyrics allude to Jack Kerouac,
the Steve Martin movie "The Man With
Two Brains," and the novel, but not any
fLlm version, of "Donovan's Brain."
"Egg Man", about eggs and their
many uses, is aggresively surrealistic:
drive-by eggings plague Los Angeles,
Humpty Dumpty's leg proves inedible to
a Rastafarian, and Egg Man himself
drives around phoning in cryptic reports
on his Blaupunkt cellular. It also has one
of those
bass lines
that
goes
"bwOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWW NRRRRRRRRRRRbwOWWWWWWW
WWW", like an amplifIed stomach.
About that social responsibility-don't get me wrong, the Beastie Boys
haven' t grown up. MCA still says things
like "I was makin' records when you
were suckin' your mother's dick."
And
fantasies
of
gangster
omnipotence like "High Plains Drifter"
and "Looking Down The Barrel Of A
Gun" echo the first album's "Paul
Revere," "Rhymin' And Stealin' ," and

"No Sleep 'Til Brooklyn.
But here and there in the thick mix
are signs of maturity. "Egg Man" warns
that a racist will end up "with egg on his
face", and one track mentions the jailed
James Brown, "Godfather of Soul/ln the
belly of the beast" and warns against
foUowing him down the PCP trail.
Cocaine and other hard drugs get
ranked on--smoke some cheeb, the
Beasties tell us, but venture not into the
hard stuff.
And among the non-recorded liule

ago.
This band's name is Lard. It has a
sound that is all its own, an easy punk
melody with a strong .beat It's easy to
grab on to. I like that
There are only three songs on this
album. That might be why it's ~ed an
EP.
The flTSt song is "The Power of
Lard." Yes, the title track and Biafra's
twisted views on life in song. I like ~
song.
The second song is "Hellfudge." It's
about Jimmy SwaggarL I don't like him.
This song mocks Jimmy Swaggan. I like

EAZY-E
EAZY Duz IT

REcoRDs

This is Eric "Eazy-E" Wright's first
solo album; he is also a member of
NWA (Niggers With Attitude), a wellknown LA rap group.
.
Eazy stands about five foot two and
always sounds like he's been sucking
helium, which gives added lunacy to his
already strange view of the world.
He regards females as mindless
machines for sexual exploitation and most
of the tracks on Eazy Duz It mention
robbery, homicide, crack smoking, and/or
the incredible size of Eazy's genitals.
His official position is that he merely
translates the real world around him into
rap format If it seems harsh, violent, and
sexist, he says, that' ~ because it IS.
However, he shows no inclination to alter
his situation, or improve his own
character, and he also stands to make a
profit from this album; f~r these reasons
it's hard to see Eazy as a tortured soul.
Side one is the "Radio Side,"
consistin:; of cuts designed for radio play.

people will fmd problems. There is only
one song on this side. It's titled "Time to
Melt," and it must be about twenty-five
minutes long. Yes, twenty-five minutes
long. Some people (myself included) will
like this song.
The people who don't like this song
will probably have to take some heavy
drugs and then they will like this song.
You see, this song seems to be a
documentary of an experience with LSD.
That's probably why it's called "Time to
Melt"
This EP comes in a nice package.
There is a "singing" lamprey on the
cover. There are lyrics on the inside, as
well as those funny pictures you might
have come 10 expect from stuff on
Alternative Tentacles.
All in all, I like this.

homilies stuck into the lyric sheet is this:
"Sometimes you've got to let someone
trip on their own shoelaces before you
tell them to tie their shoe."
Not Pulitzer Prize stuff, admittedly,
but signs of maturity.
In every other aspect--lyrically,
musically, conceptually--the Boys have
outdone themselves. May they know
enough to acquire wisdom without
cynicism, and may they stay forever
young.

It is the weaker side, despite energetic
musical backdrops provided by drum
programmer Dr. Ore and OJ Yella.
It opens with "We Want Eazy." a
lame, puff piece with an announcer who
exhorts the crowd to "put your hands
together, come on, come on" and chant
the title.
When he fmally appears, Eazy can
only quack some simple rhymes about his
greatness, supreme defness, genital size,
etc.
But things improve from there.
"Radio" takes the form of an Eazy-run
talk show where callers include the
album's guitarist--"Yo when you gonna
pay me muthaf"'CLlCKr*" and Seaule's
own Nasty Nes Rodriguez, who called
long distance "just so I could be on this
record." That sounds like Nes alright
[n "No More Questions" E chats with
a news reporter and guides the listener
step by step through his house burglary
procedure. "Girls ain't nothin' but female
dogs/Bitches/l'm sorry for that verse/It's
in my nature!l got a curse," he chants.
The' grooves are tight and Eazy's rap has
energetic wit, bur the best, or at least the
most revealing, is yet to come.
Side two of Eazy Duz It is called the
"Streel S ide," and its five songs contain
some of the most relentlessly flithy verse
in recem memory. Right from the start,
when a fun house voice cackles "Good
evening and welcome to Eazy's
Playhouse, you STUPID MUTHAF----,"
it's obvious that the gloves are off.
"Character is what you are in the
dark," said Dr. Emilio Lizardo, and this
music is Eazy with the lights out, freed
from having to sugar-coat his line for the
genteel airwaves.
One woman gets
stashed in a refrigerator for preservation
as "number-two skeezer"; another has
"more crabs than a seafood platter."
In "Nobody Move" Eazy leads a
bank robbery, shooting a hostage, trying
to rape a woman who turns out to be a
hermaphrodite, and weaving his rap
lithely between samples from Yellowman,
Blowfly, and old gangster movies.
As on the fmt side, the music is
exemplary·-Yella's drum kit work on "2
Hard Muthas" is amazingly tight, and the
two sound men throw in horns, party
noises, tire squeals, gunshots (what else?)
and pieces of Public Enemy and the
Beastie Boys to spice things up.
But the music isn't what jumps out
at you--Eazy's cussing is always center
stage.
His portrait of life in the gangland
of Los Angeles may be realistic or
hyped-up fantasy, the aural answer to a
Ralph Bakshi film. I'm pretty confident
that Eazy's penis/yardstick comparisons
are the latter.
But Eazy resembles Bakshi in one
other way. He knows that guns, gangs,
tits and ass attract attention, and he
knows how to play for a contingency that
either doesn't take him seriously or
doesn't stop to consider the ramifications
of his sexism, violence, self-loathing, and
tendency to blame it all on society.
