Giving thanks for ""hat I have
This year, as usual, my
grandmother wants to know if
I'm going to their house for
Thanksgiving.
She asks me
every year, as if this year I will
change my mind.
Grandma, I
cannot think of a better place
to give thanks, among people I
love and cherish, in a place
which has my heart.
I give thanks for the people
know, the people I havc
known and the people I will
know.
I give thanks that I
have survived another day,
an.other
year,
and
another
lifetime. I give thanks that the
world is still in one piece and
inhabitable.
The managing editor, Suzetle
Williams, and I went to a
journalism conference recently
at WSU. It was awful boring,
and no one had much of a sense
of humor about how bad it
reall y was. H owe vcr, th rOll gh a
long series of circumstances we
ended up driving through th e
Bitter Root Mountain s between
Montana and Idaho.
On that
trip I drove into a ditch.

driven a long way, and .I had a
long way to drive. It WaS cold,
it was snowing and I had only
my sandals to wear. We had to
walk a half a mile in the snow
to the nearest phone , and I
didn ' t know when we were going
to .get out of the mountains
since even the trucks were
stopped by the side of the road.
And yet, that night was

dampened the sound so that it
was very quiet. The snow was

Therefore we
weren't able to prevent some
mistakes from appearing in the
paper. Foremost among them is
that the opinion attributed to
Knoll Lowney was really written
by Eric Larsen .
Worse when
the story got jumped to another
page it really got confused. It's
the biggest screw-up of the year
so far , and I'm prOfoundly sorry
to everyone involved .
I was surprised to hear
from someon e that th e y felt it
wa s this kind of screw-up which
caused people not to want to
write for the paper. Hey folks,
Our most
we make mistakes.

bylines, but we do other cute
things.
But this is the first
major screw up all year. I'm not

editor and staff may amend or clarify
these policies.
Objective:
The CPJ editor and staff are deter·
mined to make the CPJ a student
forum for communication which is both
entertaining and informative.
Deadlines:
Calendar-Friday, noon
Articles-Friday, 3 p.m.
Letters-Monday, noon
Rules for submissions:
Submissions must be original. Submitting work which is not original is a
legal, ethical and moral violation and
an injury to those members of the
Evergreen community who do complete original work.
Submissions should be brought to the
CPJ offices on an IBM formatted
diskette. Any word processing fIle compatible with WordPerfect 4.2 is acceptable. Disks should include a doublespaced printout, with' the author's
name, daytime phone number and address. Disks will be returned as soon
as possible.
For information about other types of
computer submissions, call the office at

inch margins will be accepted. If you
are unable to comply with the submis·
sion requirements for any reason, con·
tact the editor or managing editor for
assistance. Before undertaking timeconsuming projects for the CPJ, it's a
good idea to call the CPJ office about
deadlines, future plans and suitability
of materials.
Because the CPJ is a college
newspaper, priority will be given to
student submissions; however, all community members are encouraged to
contribute.
Letters:
Letters will be accepted on all subjects. They will be checked for libel and
may be edited for grammar, spelling
and spare. Letters should be 300 words
or less. Every attempt is made to
publish as many letters as possible;
however, space limitations and
timeliness may influence publication.

wish
to
address
the
continuing saga over the ever
changing Evergreen community.
Coming
from
a
"Greener"
perspective, this should help to
clarify much of the confusion
portrayed as rhetoric and poetry
in the CPJ. The letters and
com'ments which I keep hearing,
from those who are new ' to
TESC, are saying that as hip a
place as Evergreen is supposed
to be, the political climate
overshadows
the
social
environment
to
be
uptight,
bigoted, and close-minded. But
think for a moment, outside the
context
of
the
strictly
mainstream-white-angloheterosexual patriarchy we call
"Western society".
Originally, as my knowledge
of
TESC
history
suggests,
Evergreen was known as an
academic center geared
for
social
change.
The
very
structure of the curriculum and
the techniques employed to
teach students challenges the
mainstream
methods
of
education. The challenge has
worked
successfully
and
Evergreen survives. Lately, the
social climate at TESC has been
changing
drastically.
The
enlargement
of
freshmen
enrollment,
the
increase
in
testing, the vast construction,
the
expansion
of
the
administrati ve bureaucracy, and
even the Corner Cafe's move to
the new Community Center, all
represent the thrust towards the
mainstream of the '90's that
Evergreen is making . These
radical changes in the social
climate at Evergreen, added to
the political buffoonery of the
presidential election, the gross
disregard for the planet, and the
violence happening all over the
world, force those of us who
are committed to social change
to stand more firmly planted in
our beliefs.
I don't believe that there
are any guilt trips being thrown
around, or that anyone has been
ostracized because they didn't
know what "old growth" was,
but I do believe that it is an
equal responsibility to shar.e.
what we know and believe to be
true with those folks who are
naive to the social, political,
and
environ-mental
concepts
that the Greeners take for
granted. And likewise, if a
greener is trying to play a
judgement mind-trip on someone
who is ignorant to something we
take for granted , think twice
about who has the right to
judge another.
As far as sexuality and
guilt go, Evergreen has always
been a place that awareness
towards sexism has been both

practice for world
obvious and intense. The rest of
the world is quite different. If
someone isn't willing to change
thei r sexist, homophobic, and / or
racist
attitudes
(as
firmly
conditioned as they probably
are) then perhaps they shouldn't
spend their time at a place such
as Evergreen. If they are open
to change, but unaware of what
it takes, then they should get
some counseling from a woman,
someone who has caught the
brunt of socialized sexism from
day one. Ask her what it is that
pisses her off about men and
their
unaware-ness
towards
women . Women have been the
objects of men (as have animals,
trees, rivers, and mountains) for
too long now. Mutual respect
between the sexes is what we
are talking about, sci 's exism : iri~ a
reversal of roles IS no more
politically correct than in its
usual form. Maybe what we are
doing here at Evergreen is out
of mutual love for eachother
and the planet.
The threat to Evergreen if
a fact we can not ignore. TESC
is changing quickly without the
student body being recognized in
the decisions being made. This
process
of
change
in
our
community is simply training for
us to deal with a radically
changing world which is growing
warmer and more crowded each
year. I f you are disgruntled by
the attitudes of those of us who
are consciously living to change
this world to be a healthier
place,
look
at
your
own
attitudes and actions, and see
how you harmonize with your
planet and your others. There
isn't a whole lot of room left so
we might as well starti learning
how to live together.

Palestinian peace demonstrations planned
The Palestinian uprising in
the Occupied Territories now in
its twelfth month, has shown
the world, a whole society from
young to old, struggling for the
survival of their cuhure and
society against harsh military
repression . Young and old alike ,
they have been shot, beat e n~
imprisoned,
tortured
and
deported.

said in his inaugural speech.
It was Kennedy who sta rted
the Peace Corps, those brave
young men and women who
thought
with
just
a
little
American know-how the world
could be a better place.
It
was
Kennedy's
wife
Jacqueline who spoke French
and Spanish fluently and who
brought back the traditions of a
genteel c.. :ture to the White
House.
When he was shot it was as
if the America he had enjoined
to dream turned their dreams
turned into nightmares.
People remember where they
were when President Kennedy
was shot.
Almost everyone in
America
watched
the
play
performed in front of them for
that long and bitter weekend.
They
watched
Jacqueline
Kennedy as she boarded and
depl!rted 'ir Force Olle with her
husband's blood and
brains
spattered on her dress.
"Let them see what they
have done," she is reported to
have said.

died the
headlines
it
screamed
that
was
overthrowing the government, an
outrageous act. When Kennedy
died, the news media seemed
stunned. They could not apply
their critical senses to the
spectacle unfolding before them.
When the official assassin',
Lee Harvey Oswald, was shot on
national television the tragedy
was awesome.
But with that
final death on that weekend the
fi rsl seeds 0 f d ou bts we re
planted. It was the fi rst time
that
many
people
began
seriously
questIoning
their
government.
People, small in
number at first, but growing,
always
growing,
began
to
question the events of that
November weekend.
Where was the truthZ
That· skepticis-m grew until
one
day
it
flowered
into
expressions like, "Never trust
anyone
over
30"
and
the
outright rebellions against the
U.S. government in 1968.
Where was the truth?
Most people believe it will
never be found.
H.owever,
there
are
indicators of a truth about those

Kennedy's death is basically
this.
Kennedy was riding in a
limousine close to the downtown
of Dallas, Texas (Dealey Plaza)
on Friday, November 22, 1963
when he was shot.
The assassin , Lee Harvey
Oswald, shot very quickly three
limes with an ancient and rusted
ri f e.
The first shot missed.
The next shot hit Kennedy in
the back and traveled through
his neck where it then struck
Texas Governor John Connally in
the seat in front of him.

him.

Ratna Roy is a synthesis of cultures
by Barbara Nelson
Ratna Roy is a visiting
faculty member at Evergreen,
normally an English professor at
South
Seattle
Community
College. I am very grateful that
I enrolled in "Interaction in the
Performing Arts", because in the
short time Ratna ha s been my
f a culty , I have learned much!
Ratna was born in India and
studi ed d a nce ther e from the
age of four.
She found he r
niche in the classical form of
dance called Odissi, which she is
introducing to som e of us
through a program workshop.
Because her father placed the
most importance on eduction ,
Ratna studied hard, gettin g a
degree in British literature and
a PH .d in English lite rature.
However, her main .love remains
dance.
She IS a wonderful
teacher in lectures and seminar.
However, I perceive her best
and learn the most from what
she says and does in dance
workshop.
The main element III Odissi
dance is centering of the body
and the spirit. Watching Ratna
while she is dancing, as well as
outside of class, is watching a
realization of centered ness and
balance.
Dancer,
scholar,
researcher,
teacher,
wife,
mother ... all
facets
of
her
personality are balanced. When
I am around her I am constantly
amazed at · how she seems at
peace.
Ratna has a sense of who
she is, where she fits into Ii fe
and the general scheme of
things.
While she is danc'ing
there exists a spirituality that is
more than an extension of the
Hindu myths being performed.
Her attitude towards life IS
apparent In her comment: ' I
worship ,
understand,
and
empathize
with
humanity
through dance-I don ' t go to
tem pies or ch u rches ."
In our workshop, she puts
emphasis on what we are doing
right and what looks pretty -always the positive.
Learning
from Ratna has opened my mind
to dance for outward artistic
expression , and as a way of
bringing
spirituality
inside
myself.
Because she has Ii ved in
the U .S. for twenty-two years,
Ratna cannot be classified as an
Indian.
Neither can she be
classified
as
an
American;
rather, she is a synthesis of
both cultures. 1 think much of
how I percei ve her comes from
this
synthesi s
of
cultures.
Ratna is a very unique person,
probably the
most centered ,
personally bal a nced of anyone I
have encountered.
Not that
she is perfect: I have seen her
b e come
exa s perated
when
students
in
seminar
and
workshop ar e not realizing their
full potential , but what is inside
her mind and her spirit are
much different than the average
American's.
Many
factors
shaped
. Ratna's
one-of-a-kind
personality;
she didn't just
wake up unique. It took Ratna
a
long
time
to
integrate
American altitudes, and longer
still to combine Indian and
American culture into a well
adjusted human being. Her life
has been far from easy.
In a recent lecture at
Evergreen's
Tacoma
campus,
Ratna told how the dichotomies
that have existed in her life
have affected her.
The first
dichotomy was because of her
father.
Ratna comes from an
upper middle class family in
India.
Her
parents are
medical
doctors, educated by the British.
Ratna's
father's
resulting
attitudes were very British and
reserved. He felt that dancing
was a form of degradation
(dancers
in - India
were
considered
no
better
than
prostitutes) and made her stop
dancing and attend a British
private ' school.
Later
he
relented somewhat: she could
dance, but only if she was at
the top of her class in every
subject. When her father still
disapproved of her as a dancer
despite her academic success,
Ratna came to the U.S ..
This scholar/dancer duality is
the
most apparent
on
the
campus where Ratna works as
an English professor. When she
became very active in dance,
Ratna was written about in the
newspapers, and had her picture
published as a dancer. Thus her
colleagues started to deal with
her differently. Sbe. didn't fit
the role tbey saw her in.
To paraphrase what she saw
of this attitude· from her recent
talk:
"If I am an intelligent
scholar should I dance? And if
I am a dancer am I able to be
intelligent as well'! I earned all
the degrees that they wanted,
so why won' t they let me dance
now?"
.
Another major duality in
Ratna's personality comes from
the con flict between the Hindu
way of life and marrying an
American . Even simple things
like cooking dinner take on a
whole new perspective.
For instance;
part of the
Hindu philosophy relates to the
purity of food. Because of the
impure quality of some foods
(mainly meat) , she cooks her
food in a separate pan with
different utensils.
If cooking
both dinners at the same time ,
she must wash her hands each
time after stirring or handling
her husband's food, and before
she can sti r her own.
Another
contrast
is
manifested while eating. Most
Americans have been taught to
clean our plates and not waste
food 'because of the starving
children
somewhere
in
the
world': Ratna leaves some food
on her plate as an offering to
the god(s) .
She also ri tually
sprinkles
water
around
her
plate, in variably causing her
husband to complain about the
mess.
The most striking Indian
versus American culture contrast
that Ratna must deal with
involves dance.
In India the
dance is a very spiritual form of
expression . Dancers meditate to
clear their minds and become
the mythic characters portrayed
through the dance. Each dance
is dedicated to one of the gods
or
goddesses.
, I· . .
Ratna. _. has
prevailed
through
these
situations,
adjusted to the dichotomies in
her Ii fe, and has become the
most peaceful person I know. I
admire her ability to always
have a kind word or suggestion
for someone who is struggling;
whether it be with a movement
in workshop, a question in
seminar, or a personal problem.
Something about her manner
makes me want to learn, ask
questions
and
expand
my
knowledge.

an ything to do with the U-2
incident.
They loaned him
money, gave him his passport,
and said bon voyage.
Not
your
everyday
de fector.
We had a similar defector
incident here with a Russian
operative recently.
Was it all
over the news? Yes. Are we
feeling friendlier to Russia then
in 1960? Yes. Why, then, was
Oswald's trip so quiet?
Why
wasn't he at least questioned?
One can only speculate that he
was an operative of an American
secret service and therefore
they already knew what he had
to say.
Did Oswald shoot the ri fie
which killed Kenned~'? Legally
it could not be proven.
In law there is a process
called the chain of possession.
All evidence presented at the
trial must be accounted at every
moment until the trial or the
evidence is legally invalid.
A famous case illustrates this
well.
Remember the heroin
found in the French Connection?
By the time of the- 'trial it had
all been "stolen" from the police
warehouse. Without that heroin
that case fell apart.
In Kennedy's assassination
there was no evidence found
linking Oswald to the rifle by
the Dallas police on Friday, nor
by the FBI on Saturday. Th
gun "disappeared" from police
custody for awhile on Sunday
and when in returned there was
a palm print linking Oswald to
the gun.
However, since the
gun's chain of possession :wasn' t
comvlete it would havc been
invalid in court.
Legally the evidence from
the autopsy was also invalid .
Kennedy's body was put into a
brown ceremonial coffin in
Dallas. Il arrived in a shipping
casket
at
Bethesda
N av al
Hospital for the autopsy .
There were people watching
th e
ceremonial coffin
until
ev e ryone on Air For ce On e
mov e d to the upper cabin to
watch
Pres id e nt
Lyndon
B.
Johnson ~ worn in as pr es id e nt.
During that period no one
attended the coffin. That short
time when no one attend ed the
coffin invalidate s the autops y
results, since it is probable that
during that period Kennedy's
body was removed from the
coffin
and
the
chain
of
possession was broken .
The
major
di ff e rcnces
between Kennedv ' s bodv as seen
in Dallas and his body as seen
during the Bethesda autopsy and
the subsequent pictures and xray s was the change in th e
direct ion in shots.
In Dallas the doctors and
nurses who worked on Pres ident
Kennedy, eyewitnesses at the
scene
of
the
shooting,
photograph s,
movies,
earwitnesses ,
a nd
others
testified the shots came from
the front.
The
Bethesda
autopsy
reported that the shots were
fired from the rear. However,
at a trial the autopsy evidence
would have been invalidated
because Kennedy's body did not
have an unbroken chain of
possession
from
Dallas
to
Bethesda.
Therefore legally the best
evidence is that which was seen
in Dallas, shots which had been
fired from the front. '
Then
there
are
the'
mysterious pieces of evidence.
A pristine bullet found on
a stretcher in Dallas which came
from
Oswald's gun.
(The
hospital orderly who picked it
up,
Darrell Tomlinson,
was
adamant that the bullet was
found neither on Kenned y's
stretcher or Connally'S.
The
Warren Commission and a later
House Commission decided he
was mistaken/lying.)
It seems improbable that a
bullet could go through two
men ' s bodies and come out
pristine.
However,
it
is
fallacious to assume any bullet
traveled
through
Kennedy's
body.
The autopsy surgeon
found an entry wound on
Kennedy's back but he was only
able to probe it the length of
his finger, therefore from the"
autopsy evid-ence there was no
path through Kennedy's body
from
the back. No ' bullet,
pristIne or ' otherwise. e'x ited
from the front because no bullet
enterecJ; from the back.
The
Warren
Commission
defenders deny the validity of
the autopsy but they use it as
their guide to the bullet wounds.
You can't have both.
Either
you
accept
the
autopsy findings (with their
mysterious non-entering bullets),
or the frontal bullet wounds.
There is no middle ground here.
There is only one other
source of evidence linking any
rear shots to Kennedy, the
testimony of two Secret Service
agen ts
who
were
close
to
Kennedy at the time he was
shot.
One said he saw the
bullet strike Kennedy' S back.
Pictures show this agent was
looking . to
the
side
when
Kennedy was shot the first time.
I've heard of people having e ye s
in the back of their ' heads, but
thi s seems a little extreme.
So much for any shots from
the rear. (For a more complete
analysis of this material read
David
Li fton ' s
book
B est
Evidence: Disguise and Deceptiol/
in the Assassillation of John F.
Kenlledy .)
The shots from the
rear were fabricated to "frame"
a man who tried to defend
himself, but was ' then himself
killed.
Twenty
five
years
ago
Kennedy died . Why should We
care?
The peopl e involved with
tbat
assassination
and
subsequent
inv estigation
ar e
with us now .
Gerald Ford wa s on th e
Warren Commission. H e became
our president.
Arlen Spector
was the Warren Commission
Counsel. He's now a Republican
Senator from Pennsylvania. And
guess what panel he served on
recently? The House and Senate
committees
investigating
the
Iran-Contra Affair. Deja VII.
But there is an even more
important
reason
to
be
concerned.
Most
of
the
evidence
against Oswald came from the
U.S. Secret Service; the bullets,
the autopsy reports, the doctor's
reports, and so on.
When the
onlookers ran up the grassy
knoll where they assumed the
shots were fired from they
encountered men who told them
they
were with
the secret
service.
To
every
available
indication it appears that the
United States Government had a
coup,
which
involved
the
President's own guards.
One must then ask, "why
would anyone in the American
government want to assassinate
John F. Kennedy. Wj18t Johnson
did do that Kennedy wouldn't
have:
One has only to look at
America in the 1960's to see
what
change
was
made.
Kennedy escalated the problems
in Vietnam. Johnson turned it
into a war.
H Li fton and others are
right in their suspicions, . we
. have a military which has' been
controlling our leaders through
the powers of life and death.
President Johnson, although
he said he wanted to get out of
Vietnam, never did. He lost his
political career over it.
President Nixon won . in
1968 because he 'said he would
not
continue
to
fight
in
Vietnam . In 1972 he again made
that pledge.
Then he bombed
Cambodia.
President Ford (their man
already?) completed the Vietnam
exit.
President Carter escalated
the arms buildup.
President Reagan has had
many
military
involvements:
Nicaragua,
Lebanon,
Libya,
Grenada, and more.
Did these men have a choice
about their military buildup? Or
were they in fear for their Ii ves
because of an act done 25 years
ago this month.
An act in
which a dreamer who wanted his
children to live without the
threat of nuclear weapons and
war was assassinated. An act in
which
the
American dream
became
America's
worst
nightmare.
I wonder if Eisenhower was
speaking
from
personal
foreknowledge when he told
America, "beware the militaryindustrial complex".

Greener grads fare well in law schools
education
by Maureen Eddy
On November 9th, we had
our annual Law Schoo l Fair.
Thirteen
law
schools
were
present and well over a hundred
students and alumni were in
attendance and took advantage
of the opportunity to talk to
the representat i ves.
This was
the
largest
law
school
participation ever bu t we hope
for an increase next year.
Many of the representatives
agreed
that
unlike
previous
years, a greater number of
students are looking into law
schools earlier and not waiting
until they are juniors or seniors.
Harvard mentioned they had
7100 applicants each year, the
University of Washington has
over 2000.
All the visitors agreed that
although
the
LSA T's
are
important, other
factors
are
equally important. For example,
they all · rated the essay portion
of the application very highly.
Yes, they most certainly DO
read TESC evaluations! In fact,
the comments were, "we read

everything"
and
"Evergreen's
evaluations help us know the
person better which is very
useful when it comes to the
selection process....
The UW representatives told
me 12 of our graduates applied
to their Law School last year
and 4 were accepted into this
fall's
1988
class.
A
30%
acceptance rate from one school
is ' considered excellent.
If you are planning on taking
the LSAT in the near future,
the LSA T is going to be revised
as of June, 1989.
They are
dropping facts and issues and
emphasizing more logic. Career
Deyelopment always has a supply
of LSA T registration packets.

W hat does it mean to you?
by Dan Snuffin
What
are
you
doing
for
'Thanksgiving?
I'm going to Port Townsend.
Probably working.
I have no clue.
Going home.
Probably stay at home.
Working.
I'm going to Minnesota.
I'm going to go to my parents
house and help my mother make
dinner for all of my relatives.
That includes four grandparents,
four sets of aunts and uncles
and twelve cousins .. We're going
to have a good time.
What does Thanksgiving mean to
you?
It means eating a lot, visiting
with my family, and it's a good
opportunity to think about all
the things I'm thankful for.
Not very much. All I can think
of is indians giving food to
their
killers.
It's
a
nice
thought.
Time to be with the . family, and
lots of turkey leftovers. I love
turkey leftovers.
It's a time to rejoice and be
thankful for who we are.
Lots of food!
The meaning of Thanksgiving is
appreciating what you have in
this great country of ours and
just celebrating the bounty we
live in.
.
I don't moan at thanksgiving.
oh, the meaning! dead . turkeys
with their guts hanging out.
