parkway
toward the freeway. Abo u t 200
yaTd-s- l:rast · the main campus
e~trance I was struck .by a balf
full Coke can that had been
thrown from a passing car. The
car was an older model (1960's)
muted metallic blue Ramblertype witb some bumper stickers
on t~e back . There were four
people in it and the man who
threw the can was between 17
and 25 with straight shoulder
length brown hair.
I was not physically injured
by the can, but I and every
other person who walks, runs or
bikes oil the Parkway or an any
other road should be scared. A "
hal f full Coke can going 45 mph
can do a lot of damage. I was
lucky this time, it only hit tbe

It's surprising. that
two brief letters have been
published , but ne-ither of the
writers
looked
into
what
actually happened .
The dog's name was Lonka.
He was Great Dane and German
Shepard . He was abandoned at
Ash Tree" Apartm'ents.
I.:ffiily
for Lonka Tracy adopted him
and became attached although
begin involved wasn ' t easy for
her.
Tracy was evicted as weB as
.her friends who lived in #92 at
Ash.
No
Dogs
allowed
whatsoever!
During their friendship Lonka
was brought to the City Pound
but Tracy rescued him and
scraped money together for tags
and shots. [The money came, in
part, from Mariah Daria, one of
the previous letter writers.)
It was too late for the shots
because distemper had set in.
Lonka
lost
his
appetite,
strength, and
will.
Tracy
wouldn't give up, and somehow
got the money together again
(o~ a vet only to be told an
additional
$500.00
operation
might be the answer.
This is the story of Lonka
and Tracy.
Lonka died and
Tracy is sad.
So, Evergreen
wasn ' t
responsible
nor
was
Tracy.
I do admit the true
owner was the cause, whomever
that may be.

Running or

I implore you, if you ever
see someone crashed or if you
see a motorist (or anyone)
menacing a runner or cyclist,
stop and help or take down the
license plate number and give it
to the person that the car was
bothering. I f you do, you will
be providing a great service to
all people:
motorists, cyclists,
runners and walkers alike, as

There's a problem at

students here are aw·a re of a rip

am- acutely. I'm new here this

for five, ten or fifteen minutes.

Last Wednesday I finally

up to the court and got most of
my aggressions out on the poor
little blue ball. After 20 minutes
I got this intuitive hit that I
should go up and check out my
stuff. Good ole intuition. My

was gone. Everything!

Governance
Religious prejudice is alive at Evergreen
I have something to say to
you,
my
fellow
Evergreen
students,
regarding
religious
prejudice.
A
particular in
incident brings this issue to the
forefront now, but in any event,
I tc'-·... k thC3C ide,,:! need to be
said .
This morning,
found a
poster publicly displayed in the
dorms
which
expressed
an
intentional religious slander. It
was intended to be a 'joke;'
instead, it reminded me of the
pervasiveness
of
religious
intolerance in the Evergreen
student body.
People of faith
are still considered ' fair game;
for criticism, maligning and
disrespect.
Prejudice against peop le of
any religion, or against peoplc
of no religion , is rooled in the
same
disrespect
for
people's
di fferent identities as is racis:'!1
and sexism. Although all thes.:
prejudices
exist
in
t!lC
Evergreen community, religiollo,
prejudice
is
not
frequently
examined, di~cussl'd o r fought on
this campus.
To call thi s po~tcr prcjuliici.d
and to compare it with r:1 cis ;n
and sex ism mily have so me of
you thinking: "Hey . what's th('
big deal?
It wa s only a joke."
Ye s, mayhe it wa , intend e d to
be funny.
Maybe it's jU !,t
somcone playing around.
A nd
you know. that 's the sa ddc ,\
part!
Many
of
us
arc
unintentionall y
pcrp<:lrating
prejudicial attitudes and action s
to the point that we.aren't even
conscious or the raet that it IS
out-and-out prejudice! And we
are ACCEPTING this behavior in
our peers!
. I don't find it funny.
The
attitude ·expre ....ed through tbis
poster is deadly·- and I mean
that literally. The people of my
religion, the Baha'i Faith, are
systematically
slaughtered
in
Iran, as a result of national
leaders and citizens expressing
this
very
same
attitude of
religious intolerance.
Baha'is

The persecution they suffer is
so dir ec tly linked to their faith

Looking Glass peers

On October 24th, United

a

first function of the 19111'·89

Looking Glass Coordinators
Mei-Li Hennen, Larry Norman ,

the first potluck on United

sett ing the proper tone for th e
organization.
"We are a laid-back g ro up

978 piece offensive
As
though Measure 97B is
not
getting
enough
press
through it's television ads, radio
ads, and billboards, the CPJ runs
the article, "M eas u re 97B:
To
'B' or not to 'B'?"
In the
October 20 e dition. This piece
might not be so offensive if it
h ad not been touted as some
sort of unbiased article in which
th e au th or g iv es hoth s id!.:s,
while
a
pro·97 artic le
wa s

William s
simply
repeats
the
rhetoric of the staff direct or of
the
97B
campaign
(which,
despite t.he denial , deserves the
big busin ess labe l since .it ha s
recieved 1.2 million from big
business interests such as Shell,
Texaco,
Weyerhauser ,
and
Boeing)
without
investigating
any contrary in formation. Yes,
the 978 IS the polluter's bill,
and that is why all of us 1·97
supporters call it that; it was
passed by the legislature only
AFTER
the
grass-roots
supporters
collected
217,000
signatures so that the measure
could be placed on the ballot
this November. And why would
the
legislature
pass
an
alternative
measure
for
the
ballot? A Seattle Times article
(October 27, 1987) e ntitled "Oil
Lobbyists
Spent
Thousands
Entertaining State Lawmakers"
provides the answer t o that: so
that an alternative measure, now
known as 978 , \Voult! be placed
on the ballot.

Bicycling is fun and healthy,

With acid rain and ozone
problems becoming major issues,
it is more important than ever
to develop the habit of bicycling
instead of driving whenever
possi-ble. Bicycling makes your
halo grow bright!
Here are some use ful tips to
anyone who bicycles around
Evergreen:
• Whether you live in Olympia
and commute to campus or live
on campus and bicycle to shop,
it is important to choose a good
route from the Westside.
My
advice,
after
t~ying
all
possibilities, is to take Kaiser
Rd. and 14th Ave. This route ·is
enjoyable, passing through rural
pastures and avoiding most of
the traffic of the Evergreen
. ,Parkway, Cooper Pt. Rd, and
Division St.

aspects of bicycling is available.
Thanks to the many volunteers
who are helping this year!

rack on the front (thanks to the
efforts
of
local
bicycle
activists,) which can catry ... two

The rack
is only
available during the daytime,
and loading/unloading is only
permitted at certain stops. Pick
up a brochure on the bus for
more information.

Evergreen Team Gel has interestin,g history

Contragate has further implications
When one walks out onto the
soccer fields on any given
Friday , one's eyes are greeted
with an astounding sight.
]n

fields peopl e are playing. Some
are playing ultimate frisbee,
some are jamming out with
soccer balls, some are hackeysacking and some are tossing
Aerobies amazing distances. But
the most awe-inspiring sight to
be see'n is the sheer exhileration
and unconventional playfulness
of those hearty folks throwing
boomerangs.
The sport of boomerang
throwing has an exiting hi story
at Evergreen.
Four years ago
·the
boomerang
club
was
established
by
Michael
Gel
Girvin, then a transfer student
from California. The team was
dubbed Team Gel and began
wreaking havok on the free time
of devotees.
People
were
finding out quickly just how
much fun throwing a curved
piece of wood that would return
to the thrower was, and Team
Gel grew rapidly .
Mike has
graduated now and gone on to
spread the ' w'o rd elsewhere, but
his legacy lingers on .
There are few people who
can resist the spell of a wellthrown boomerang.
Watching
, the boom arc around in a
graceful circle and retu rn to be
caught deftly in the hands of
it's hurler can be a transcend ant
experience. In the words of one
expert thrower, "True beauty
and poetry are described in this
circle." But to really know the
joy of the boomerang wellheeled, one simply must try for
themsel ves.
Trying for yourself is one of
the most important things to a
boomerang thrower.

soccer fields and do just that.
There are always boomerangs to
share and experienced throwers
to teach and guide you through
the
first
hesitant
throws.
(There is also the chance to be
jnducted into the Team Gel Hall
of Fame for people who can
catch their first throw ever.)
And if you become as entranced
with the sticks as many have
become, there is always the
following Friday to play some
more.
Anyone who is interested
in the competll1ve aspects of
the
sport

satisfaction in the tournaments

expert and novice alike, rain or
shine. If you ' re not afraid of
having fun there is no excuse
for not coming out to play.
The most commonly asked
question in the sport by a
newcomer is "Do those things
really come back?" The answer
is a resounding "Yes!," but you
have to throw them first. For

The
Iran-Contra
Affair
(Contragate) has captured the
imagination of Americans.
It
illuminates some of the most
important factors now operative
in the world political sphere.
Last
week's
article
helped
remind C,P J readers of some of
the lessons that this scandal
contains.
The implications of
Iranscam,
however, go
well
beyond those covered in the
previous article.
To understand the history of
U.S. intervention in Iran, it is
necessary to do more than
acknowledge
the
strategic
importance 0(' Iran's locations.
Covert intervention in Iranian
affairs by the U.S. dates back
to at least 1953, when Iran's
Prime Minister was Mohammed
Mossad,egh.
Prime Minister Mossadegh
had the audacity to say that the
oil wells, Iran's greatest natural
resource, should be used for the
benefit of the Iranian people
instead 'of the multinational
corporations which were quite

aren't you?
The two are related.

along

CPJ article distorts toxic .vvaste Issue
by Knoll Lowney,
TESC
Campus
Director
of
WasbPIRG
The toxic waste clean up
issue that will be on the ballot
November 8 bas been distorted.
Lies are being told to fool
voters into selecting an industry
sponsored toxic waste clen-up,
97B. We come to expect those
lies to be told to us by the
campaigns, and we unwillL!lgly
accept that they are forced on
us through the paid media, but
we should be surprised when our
own
Cooper
Point
Journal
publishes an irresponsible piece
of
journalism
like
Suzette
Williams' 10/20 "artiCle."
Within that "article" were
extended
quotes
from
the
campaign director of the 97B
committee,
Joann
Hammick.
Although Suzette cal led her
piece an "in vestigation, " those
obviously slanted quotes were
printed without any attempt to
establish their truth or untruth ,
and without using any sources
from either neutral parties or
Initiative 97 supporters .. Suzette
said that our campaign slogans
are all we know about the issue,
yet she never even called the
WashPIRG office on campus to
substantiate
that
claim
or
anything else .
Throughout the article were
many
lies
created
in
the
campaign offices of the Yes 97B
Committee, some of which are
too ludicrous to reply to. For
instance,
that
petroleum
products shipped into our state,
processed here and then trucked
into Oregon never have
a
cbance
to
contribute
to
Washington's
toxic
waste
"-problem. Similar'ly, bow can we
believe
Joanne
Hammick's
statement
that
the
. 97B
campaign ' s "big business label is
just ridiculous,' when her salary
is paid by the 97B campaign
itself? According to the 1.0 /21
Seattle P. I. the contributions to
97B look like this:
ARCO-$95,000;
BOEING-- $95,000;
Texaco-$76,000;
Mobil-$70,000; Shell-- $70,000; etc.
To
some
people
those
campaign
contributions don't
mean anything; they believe the
polluters when they say that
"97B is the . tough law that's
working."
Those people don't
understand
the
politics
of
regulation. If mice were given
the option to design the new
mousetraps,
would
they
be
effecti ve and tough?
The fact that citizens and
not business wrote Initiative 97
is not why Initiative 97 is a
better law. There are speci fic

As I understand it, next
Wednesday students will att end
a meeting where an interim

The plan seems to
be to write a proposal using the
best features of the different
governance
proposals.
The
model developed will function
strictly on an interim basis
while students fine tune a more
sophisticated
governance
structure.
The SIGN proposal , as
understand it, was criticized for
being too vague . The question
seems to be , what will it 's

I wrote the SIGN proposal.
The .SIGN proposal does have a
structure but I thought Greeners
would be unhappy if I used the
word, but the structure is a
senate.
Each seminar and contr a ct
pool will elect a represcntative.
This rcprese·ntative is the person
to whom we've ddegated the
task of communicating with the
rest of the student body and the
school administration.
I f you
don ' t
like
the
job
your
representative is doing you can
"uneleet" them.
The senate will decidc how
often it meets. For the sm a ller
stuff there will be committees
(consisting of at least one
member of the senate and other
interested parties) digging up
the facts.
A
key
element
In
the
proposal is that it's a student
information
and
governance
network. It's a chance for 200
students to gather and exchange
views both as individuals and as
program representatives.
The
senate is effectively an on-going
campus survey.
If a survey
isn't persuasive enough, the
senate can arrange for a campus
vote.
We need maximum student
involvement not because its fair
but because its the only way we
can ensure that we will be
listened to.

Thanks to
any readers of the CPJ who dug
into their pockets and slide
some bucks our way to belp
keep us going.
We are · all breathlessly
awaiting a brand new dramatic
radio presentation of H.G. Wells'
"War of the Worlds." It was 50
years ago this Halloween that
Orson Wells and the crew at
CBS's weekly "Mercury Theater"
did a news-report style version
of the Wells novel that threw
the nation into panic, due more
to resulting rumor than the
actual
broadcast
(it
was
repeatedly stated on air that it
was "just a dramatization.")
David
Ossman ,
radio
producer and founding member
of the Firesign Theatre David,
created a new version of the
classic Wells tale, using stateof-the-art technology and "some
of radio's most famous voices".
This
is
a
once-in-a-li f etime
event , and the perfect holiday
spooker.

ACTUALLY DO IT.
Not everyone is cut out to change the world. After all, it takes education, skills
and a spare two years.
Also a willingness to work. Hard.
This year 3,750 Americans will join the Peace Corps to do just that. They'll do
things like build roads, plant forests and crops, teach English, develop small businesses,
train community health workers, or even coach basketball. However; what they'll be
doing isn't half as important as the fact that they'll be changing a little piece of the
world ... for the better.
And when they return, these 3,750 Americans will find that experience doing
hard work will have another benefit. Irs exactly what their next employers are
looking for.
So, give the Peace Corps your next two years. And while you're out changing
the world, you'll also be making a place in it for yourself.

~Evergreen has traditional ghost stories
by Pat Barry
Halloween at The Evergreen
State
College
is
usually
celebrated
by
parties,
but
ocassionally
the
night
is
celebrated by a walk deep into
the
woods
where
greeners
search for ghosts of the past.
Here
are
some
traditional
Evergreen ghost stories to set
the
mood
for
this
year's
celebration.
Down at the beach where
paTties abound, a ghost canoe
may be seen floating off shore.
Fourteen years ago three male
students took an evening trip
down to the beach where they
planned on lighting a fire and
spending the night.
When they arrived they heard
a loud wailing like that of a
person in pain. They scanned
the area but could only see a
few feet in front of them
because of a thick fog.
They
separated, trying to pin point
where the wailing came from .
One student saw a hazy light
across the water of the ocean
and called to his friends.
The light showed the outline
of an Indian canoe . He cried
out again for his ' friends but
wasn't heard. When the boat
was close enough to look inside
he got a strong sme ll of rotting
fish and saw an Indian woman
standing in the boat.
Her face was dripping fl es h
and on the left side her skull
was exposed, Her body was
covered
with barnacles and
seaweed
and
ske letal
arms
reached out for him .
The
Greener watching had already
let her get too close and she
grabbed his ar m, he r cold
fingers gripping on to his warm
sk in.
The shock from the tou ch
was too much for him and he
let out a great screa m a nd
fainted; falling head first unto
the rocky shore.
When his
buddies found him there was no
sign of th e canoe, but th ey did
smell rotten fi sh and their
fri e nd
had
three
barnacles
growing from his forearm that
had to be s urgically removed.
The canoe ha s been seen
many times since, not only on
Halloween.
Those who avoid Geoduck
Beach and decide to brave the
woods of Evergreen are fairly
sa fe Halloween night , unless
they happen to run into a spider
area.
Seven years ago a young
Eve rgreen s tud ent was found
crying and screami ng out on
Geoduck Road. She was covered
head to toe with spider webs.
She said she had been traipsing
through the ' woods with three
friends
when
she
became
se parated from the trail.
She
thought she had found it again
when
she
spotted
an
area
seemingly
cleared
out
and
covered with crushed gravel.
When
she
entered
the
clearing she discovered it draped
with spider webs on all sides;
what she took to be gravel were
thousand s of red and orange
spiders with thick abdomens
Page 14
Cooper Point Journal
crawling beneath her feet.
Before she could react she
was already bitten several times
and her hair was crawling with
arachnids.
She turned to run
and
found herself plunging
through layers and layers of
spider webs before she found
normal woods. It took an hour
of endless wandering before she
could find the road and shake
the spiders from her hair.
Last of all there is the
story of Amy. Amy was an old
woman, some say she was about
eighty,
who
lived
in
a
dilapidated shack in the woods
near the Organic Farm. She was
friends with many students at
the College and often sold
handmade beaded bracelets and
necklaces. outside
the
CAB
building.
Amy took care of most of
the animals living on campus.
She . would spend just enough
money to fill her needs to live,
and used the rest to buy dog
and cat food for her animal
friends.
When Amy died in a fire in
1978, others tried to care for
the animals. They found most of
the dogs never had an appetite
and several never seemed to eat
at all.
Three days after Amy died,
two suspected student arsonists
went tei raid her shack during
the night. When they got there
they were shocked to find most
of the campus animals sleeping
near an open campfire with
several piles of empty dog food
k·~
cans scattered around them.
Cats and dogs who were enemies
during the day cuddled next to
each other.
The students walked around
the
animals and
into
the
remnants of Amy's shack to find
out who was living there. It was
completely empty save one old,
charred blanket lying crumpled
on the floor.
A chill suddenly overcame
them both. They reered outside
the door and walking among the
animals was an old woman
wearing a sleeping gown . She
turned around quite suddenly
and they saw her charred,
blackened face. She sneered at
them and her oyster white eyes
gleemed as she sent the animals
after the two thieves.
The next Spring Amy's shack
mysteriously
burnt
down.
Coincidentally
many
animals
began to starve that summer.
Halloween: An ancient festival of the
by Brett Harris
Halloween, like many other
holidays, began as a religious
rite .·and has evolved into its
present form .
Prior
to
the
dawn
of
Christian time, the Celtic people
o ( . France lln~ tD~ ~ri~i. sh I~Je!>
celebrated Samhain (meaning
summer's end), on October 31st
to recognize the L nrd of the
Dead.
[n order to please the Lord
of the Dead and see the future,
Celtic priests (Druids)
held
sadistic fi re ri tes. Prisoners 0 f
war, animals and criminals were
burned in specially constructed
baskets. The position in which
they died gave the Druids due-s
to the future.
Later nuts,
stones, and other ohjects were
tossed into fires in hopes of
divining the future.
Sambain also marked the
turning of the new season: a
time to give thanks to the
Goddess of the sun and the
harvest for the gralD sa f el y
stored away for the Winter
months, a time to appease the
God of Winter, the God of the
Dead, and ask for a mild season.
The traditions of Samt.ain
have an earlier lineage; the cu!t
of Dionysus in Ancient Greece.
In the ' first Century before
Christ, the Roman army invaded
the British Isles and made them
part of the Roman Empire. The
Romans had tbeir own October
festivals honoring the Harvest
and the Dead and o .... er time
these melded with Sam hain.
Within the ranks of the Roman
army, many adopted the Druid
faith. This worried the Roman
Emperors
wlio
ordered
the
Druids be elimin ated.
Those
that survived went into hiding.
While the Romans eliminated the
Druids who administered the
rite, the practice of the rite
and
the
Sambain
festival
continued.
When Christianity began
sweeping across the
Roman
Empire Christians realized a
need to convert those of pagan
beliefs; meaning anything not of
the
Christian
faith.
It
is
difficult to tell a conquered
people that the rituals they
have performed for centuries are
evil, so the Christians told the
Celtic people that the rituals
they p,e rformtrQ, ., on Oct. · 31st
would· protect them from th'e
Devil
the enemy of the
Christian c~urch.
In the Seventh Century,
the Christian church set aside
November 1st as All Saints Day,
the day on which to remember
those Saints who nad ' died for
the faith. B'y 'the year 900, All
Saints Day was celebrated in
conjunction with Samhaln. In
the tenth century the Church
set aside No .... ember 2nd as All
Souls Day, a day to remember
the souls 0 f the dead.
These holidays had so much
in common that they merged
over time and became known as
All Hallows Eve (Halloween).
Celebrations for the dead
deC!..d~
were tradi tional for man yother
cultures,
such
as
the
Chippewa/Ottowa Indians. In the
B ri t ish
Isles
people
roamed
about dressed as souls, demons
or Saints. In the traditional
holiday, the poor would "go-asouling" from door to door
begging for food, housewives
weuld , offer ".so.ul cakes" in
exchange, and the poor would
offer prayers for the dead .
Halloween became popular
in the 19th Century when the
Irish brough L th.ei.r ' ·colorful
modern version with them to the

Keep in mind the initial
rite of Samhain, the associations
with life and death and the
harvest and hibernation of the
earth. Then ask a child what
Halloween means. Same holiday,

But when
there is nothing published at a ll
without reason or exp lanal io n ,
this is painful and l eave~ a

For examp le, I talked wit h a
CPl.

It is not that I wa nt ed to

This type of

When 1 f i r st came ' to TESC

Electro- acoustic
boundaries
by Lee S. Pem bleton
Last weekend the Society for
Electro-acoustic Music In the
United
States,
SEAMUS
(pronounced shah mus), 1988
national con ference took place
on campus. It was a weekend of
papers, lectures, demonstrations,
and
performances
covering
electro-acoustic music.
"A working definition (of
elect ro-acoust i c
music)
ism usic that com bi nes acousti c
instruments
with
electronic
synthesis and processing gear:'Andrew
Buchman,
VicePresident
of
programs
for
SEAMUS, TESC faculty for the
Critical Mass program, electroacoustic m usi cian, an d organ i ze r
of this year's conference.
A
wide
range . Buchman
admits that qualifies most music
recorded these days. Folk's out ,
as are straight orchestral and
choral; but rap, rock, noise, new
age, and dance qualify. Les Paul ,
the inventor of the electric
guitar, 8-track recorder, and
much more, was awarded by
SEAMUS "for his enduring and
invaluable contributions to the
art and practice of electroacoustic music" on Saturday.
SEAMUS covers a large basco
Why?
Five years ago, SEAMUS was
founded as an alternative mu s ic
organization. It was a respon se
to other music organizations,
which
were
too
re s trictive;
perpetuating simply old classical,
or strictly technological mu sic.
SEAMUS
wants
to
cross
boundaries - explore composites
a nd crossovers.
"Tec hnology and computers
can be lib era tors or j:.lilers.
SEAMUS wants to humanize and
open
up
comp uters
and
electronic music" - Buchman.
So, did the conference do
this?
Yes, and no.
The papers, se mInars, and
audio salons were effective, but
unadvertised and not open to
the public (a 7.50$ registrant
fee
was
charged
for
the
con f erence).
The concerts, which were
better advertised - though far
f rom promoted - were not so
effecti ve. The moods and style
were too similar. The music was
homogenous, all at one end of
the scale. There was none of
the variety and diversity I heard
from Buchman and in the papers
and demonstrations.
The
concerts
were
minimalist
and
experimental '
technological. But where was the
noise, the pop and rock, the rap
and soul.
"To
an
extent
the
programming
reflects
my
prejudices. But , also, I had a
small town attitude: To a great
extent, . Buchman was trying to
showcase Evergreen artists.
Of over a hundred e'n tries
for
the
first
performance,
Thursday
nights
student
conference, there was , not a '
single pop song (pop as In
popu lar m usi c, not just airy
bubbly SAW style) submitted.
A
little
surprising
considering
Evergreen's
vast
array of tastes. TESC seems to
turn out music which is more
technological than acoustic; lowkcy, so undtracks. Th e re's not a
lot of vitality and excitement.
N onethe less, the con ce rts
were excellent, as long as you
didn 't expect Pop Will Eat Itself
or Public Enemy . The music was
good, and it's a rare , . s u re

October 27. 1988
Responding to and playing off
each other, Sean and Anthea
built an intricate string section
for her to lead . They cre'a ted
frantic rhythms and beats which
pulled the audience into the
self-feeding - loop - ' Sean -- aiid
Anthea
manipulated .Building
tension and curiosity In the
audience.
The
six
other
student
performances
were
also
of
interest;
ranging
from
performance
art
to
chaotic
sound layering. Some of the
pieces
worked
well,
others
seemed to lag, but the conce.rt
itself was a huge success,simply
because
it
is- so
rare
for
students outside of a particular
art field to hav'e the chance to
see what is being done. Student
audio and visual performances
are a joy we rarely have; '
Faculty
performances
are
even rarer.
Sally Cloninger'S video shown
Saturday afternoon was a treat.
As was Meg Hunt's premiere
dance piece on Friday night.
And Peter Randlette's premiere
at
the
Dome
concert
on
Saturday night. Peter is one of
Evergreen's
most
overlooked
artists
seen
more
as
a
technical wizard than a talented
musician
and
visual
artist.
Chances to see faculties' work
corne few and far between. They
shouldn't
be
missed,
or
underrated.
The finale' to the con ference
was the Dome corrcert at the
capitol. It's final piece a work
by Ingram Marshall, another
. Evergreen faculty , of whom we
don ' t hear enough . Saturday
night he conducted an orchestra
of
recorded
fog horn s a nd
whales, as well as a live sex t et
- the Emerald City Br ass; six
more
conventional
h or n s
(trumpet, french, etc), building a·
lay ered symphonic and alien
harbour. Degenerating through
storm into a vibrant an'd living
swamp. "Frog Tropes" was a
very visual piece, eliciting views
of the dead lighthouses, arid
living, ~i_br_a~~ ~.~ .a~s .•. ' .. "- t
Thi's was a great gi t
SEAMUS gave Evergreen and
Olympia - the chance to hear
our own aural artists, live.
If you're interested in our
artists, or how modern music is
made, or just hearing good
music, it's a shame you missed
SEAMUS.
On
the
other
hand,
Buchman arranged for the entire
conference to be videotaped and
put on reserve in the library. So
you could re-live the entire
weekend, enjoying the SEAMUS
conference at your leisure.
Next week: The Butthole

Monks; on Tuesday, Nov. 1 a

to see and hear Tibet's most
