"The Women's Center extends an invitation to the community. Come hang out and just be. Get involved in groups and activities or start your own.
We support women manifesting their dreams artistically, politically and academically. We acknowledge that the reality of sexism and womens'
suffering due to opri'!ssion is still largely detrimental to the lives of women on many levels and in many areas of life. If you want to be educated
about womens' issues, find good healthcare resources and a link to various other resources for women, come in." - Britt Tooley, Co-coordinator.

Campus Theft Goth-y writer
by Lieutenant Gary R. Russel
by Jen Blackford

This is an advisement concerning a
reccn t rash of thefts from campus offices.
Ca mpus Police Services would like to
tL) make thL' campus commLmity aware
that we h we been investigating several
IIlCldcnls of theft from both unlockedSP
and locked campus offices. We feel that
lhc"e are taking place both evenmgs and
during the weekend, or at times when
the offices ilre unoccupied.
vVhile some thefl., have occurred wi th
entry into unlocked offices and insecure
areas, clearly a key has been used to gain
entry in other instances.
Knowing that you are in the best
position to determine your unique
security requirements, we'd like to offer
~ome suggestions:
Be cons cie ntious in locking and
otherwise securing offices and / or work
spaces when leaving those unattended.
Remove valuable personal items or
property when that is feasible when
leaving for the day or weekend.
Secure valuable state and personal
property in lockable cabinets and/or
desk drawers for added protection.
Please report any suspicious activity
ur persons to Campus Police Services
(Ex t. 6140) immediately, and of course
contact us if you have any additional
information about these thefts.
We have increased our patrols within
thl:' buildings but you are our bes t
resource in preventing and resolving
this problem.

Neil Gaiman stood ncar the dim
red lights and spoke of knights, devils,
the Internet, and writer Martha Soukup.
That night, Santa Claus led a doomed
life of icy soli tud e, gods lived and died
in America, and a lullaby was said for
Tori Amos's daughter, the " Blueberry
Girl."
For a little over three hours on Oct.
24 in Portland's Aladdin Theater,
Gaiman, most notably known for his
San dman series of comic books,
answered questions about his writings,
talked about his future plans, and of
course, read his eloquent short stories
and poems.
One of the things that make his
work so great is the idea that the
extraord inary lives next to and within
the mundane. The Holy Grail can sit on
a thrift store shelf next to cheap romance
novels and an ordinary family can be
plagued by a shapeshifting demonic
presence. All of this is done in a style
that is deceptively simple, using words
of everyday IHe that lead you deeper
and deeper into strange puzzles.
Most of the readings done Tuesday
night came from his book "Angels and
Visitations," which had a press run of
25,000 from a small publishing house.
It's out of print right now, but you can
still find many of these stories in the
newer collection "Smoke and Mirrors."
Other works he read ranged from
Christmas cards to introductions to

books, some of which have never been
read in public before these tours.
Unfortunately, the Portland stop
was the next to the last of what have
been termed the "Guardian Angel"
tours, which end up in Los Angeles
tonight, Oct. 26 . Known as the Last
Angel Tour, it has already visited New
York and Chicago.
The purpose behind these tours is
to raise money for the Comic Book Legal
Defense Fund (CBLOF), an organization
set up to defend graphic artists from
censorship and preserve their First
Amendment Rights. Its website, located
at www.cbldf.org, lists many cases
where comic book artists are denied the
same rights that are now grudgingly
given to writers.
He said that the United States is a
little better than Britain in their attitude
to free speech, since they do have the
First Amendment. On the other hand,
he said, we aren't quite sure what to do
with it. For an example, Gaiman cited
the case of Mike Diana, an artist who
was found guilty of obscenity and
forced to undergo psychiatric testing,
not allowed to corne near minors, and
given over 1,200 hours of community
service.
In essence, the message was that
the CBLOF exists to protect artists like
Diana, who dwell in the obscure and
often misunderstood region of graphic
novels, where the laws are still new in
their application.
And like the CBOLF, Gaiman also
had to face a new challenge that
evening. An impromptu encore after the
Portland show brought the artist back
to the stage to read one more piece(
" Babycakes." He called it his most
disturbing piece, and indeed it was a
chilling tale of what happens when
animal testing reaches its next logical
progression.
He finished the piece and left the
stage, the lights corning up quickly. The
a udi ence left, some quiet and slowmoving, others excited and dancing
about, to face a world as unsteady and
Lmknown as the one created bv Gaiman
on that dimly lit stage.

Many Evergreen s tudent s
gathered in Lecture H a ll 2 last night
to see Lou Gold give a slide
presentation and speech on logging
and the preservation of our forests .
Gold particularly emphasized the
wild lands and rivers found within
the Siskiyou Mountains.
Currently a large faction has
assembled to protect Southwest
Oregon's trees. Made up of
conservationists and business
groups from around the nation, this
group is campaigning to have one
million acres of Oregon's wilderness
placed under protection as the
Siskiyou Wild Rivers National
Monument.
This land contains some of the
most beautiful places left in the state
of Oregon. There are five National
Wild and Scenic Rivers and nine
Wild and Scenic candidate rivers in
the proposed monument as well as
some of the best salmon and
steelhead habitats in existence_ The
Siskiyou region ·also contains unique
geological
formations,
the
KalmioP~'S Wildlands and a
globally gnificant biodiversity of
plant and nimallife.
This management plan, if
implemented, will end aU
commercial logging and mining in
the area and create a much-needed
salmon refuge.
Gold, a former college professor
in Illinois, spent twelve summers in
the Siskiyou Mountains as a hermit
and is now known and revered for
his
s torytelling
abilities.
Throughout the last 17 years he has
taken
part
in
countless
environmental activist movements
and has done much to further the
protection of our nation's forests_
Gold stressed the fact that if
enough people s peak out as of right
now, there wiJl still be time for
President Clinton to proclaim this
new monument before he leaves
office.
Gold recommended that those
interested in assisting ca ll the White
House at 1-800-663-9566 between
the hours of 12 and 8 p.m. Pacific
time. This number has been set up
to process and gauge the opinions
of the American people regarding
this topic. Press zero to talk to an
actual person and let them know
where you stand.
Also available is the Siskiyou
Wild Rivers National Monument
Campaign's
web
site
at
www.siskiyourivers.org. Visitors to
the site may send a free fax to the
White House. Gold also advised the
audience to inform their friends and
neighbors or contact the local offices
of their U.S. Senators and
Representatives.

With thref}J new coordinators and
an energized outlook, the
Women's Resource Center
begins the year
by members of the Women's
Resource Center

I

We know you know we're here.
You know why we're here. Why
aren't you here? This is the
beginning of a 'brand new year for
the Women's Resource Center, and
we're wondering why we haven't
seen your face.
In all the confusion of last
year's discussion surrounding the
potential office space switch
between the Women of Color
Coalition and the Women's
Resource Center, we've lost some
ground. This year marks a fresh
start, for although we are still in the
same space, we have three new
coordinators and a highly energized
group of women who are spurring
the Center along. We now offer more
than one way to volunteer your
time.
The focus this year is on taking
a more active role in the community,
forming alliances with other groups
and taking advantage of all the
resources available on this campus,
while still keeping our drop-in
center open. For those of you who
think of involvement as something
other than office hours, we have
started a Women's Action Coalition,
a group to focus on being active and
visible in this community. At this
point, the direction this group will
take is still wide open, and could
entail anything from actions limited
to the Evergreen community
(speakers, workshops, awareness
days) to actions that reach out to
Olympia (outreach to high school
women, open workshops, etc.)

This group is not fully formed
and so can be shaped very easily to
the ideas and visions of anyone who
wishes to get involved. The WRC is
offering its office to any group of
",,"omen that would like to be active
on campus and can help with
networking and publicity. This
includes any group that a woman
wishes to start; it is not limited to
groups started by the WRC. One of
these other WRC groups will be
focused on community building. The
Women's Center Fun Committee will
schedule potlucks, field trips, film
nights, Ladies Night at Skate Land,
readings, etc. This is also wide open
and looking for people to get it
started.
Any ideas or input you'd like to
offer can be brought up at our
weekly general meetings, held
Wednesdays at 2 p.m. in Lib. 4103 .
These meetings are open to anyone
with any level of commitment or
interest. (We take your soul at a later,
individually scheduled meeting.)
Things to Watch Out for:
-The Women's Zine (~eetings
held the second and fourth
Monday of every month, 5 p .m.,
WRC)
- The Evergreen Cli teracy
Foundation, weekly women's
writing group, Wednesdays at 5
p .m ., space TBA
-Ladies Night at the skate rink.
Details will be posted
- Potlucks - next one Friday, Oct.
27 at 6 p .m.; come to the WRC for

Improve learning
by Cyril Mychalejko
A group of faculty, staff and
students responsible for finding
ways to improve teaching and
learning at Evergreen have been
working together for over a year
trying to accomplish this task.
Barbara Smith, provost of the
college, assembled this group of
"Gree~ers" to form a general
education committee. This was done
in response to the Northwest
Commission on Colleges' concerns
- with the general education offered
here . The commission, ou r
accrediting agency, makes sure that
certain educational standards are
maintained and improved upon at
colleges and u~ersi ties in the
Northwest region.
The committee is trying to find
ways for students to have more
access to the humanities, arts, social
sciences and sciences, and to
improve how students are
developing quantitative reasoning
and writing skills.
"The more people who get
involved, the more likely any
changes that are made will reflect
community sentiment," said Brian
Price, chair of the committee.
There will be a student forum in
the library lobby, November 14,
between 3:30 and 6 p.m. to talk about
possible changes and implications
they would have on students_ KelJi
Sanger, student committee member,
will help facilitate the forum_
Students will be encouraged to
submit their opinions in writing.
Sanger said it is important that
students come to the forum . She said
it is the only way students can be
part of the decision making process.
"This will ensure that our voice is
heard," said Sanger. "It gives us a
chance to have a proactive voice
instead of a protesting one after a
decision is already been made."
Al though there is no student
vote on the issue and no formal place

for the student body in the decision
making process (besides the 4 .
students that are on the committee),
the student feedback from the forum
will be presented at the faculty
meeting the following night. The
agenda of the meeting will be to
discuss the top two or three ideas ..
There are ten ideas the
committee developed that wi)) be
presented to faculty at a faculty
retreat next Thursday. The faculty
and committee members will discuss
the ideas with the hope they can
narrow them down.
Some of the ideas include:
academic
-Having
requirements
-Making 12-credit programs the
norm, supplemented with various 4credit modules
-Create more interdisciplinary
teaching teams
- Develop more one and two
quarter programs and designate
spring quarter as a time when
students could study other academic
areas of interest in cross or tridivisional programs; expand the role
and responsibilities of academic
adviSing.
The committee expects to have
a final vote at a faculty meeting,
scheduled for Feb. 14, 2001; to
approve a proposal to present to the
Board of Trustees, Evergreen' s
governing body, a month later.
There is a chance that faculty
won't approve or won't be able to
make a majority decision on a
proposal. Price said if that happens
Smith will probably have to form
another committee to make that
decision. This is a possibility s ince a
final proposal was originally
scheduled to be voted on at a May
24 faculty meeting last quarter.
Evergreen's future as a unique
and alternative academic institution
depends on whatever the committee,
faculty, and trustees decide.

The Cooper Point Journal .·4· October 26, 2000

Well, I thought last, week was
bad, but clearly I wasn't prepared for
the emptiness, the oblivion, the
barren wasteland that is this week.
No, I'm not talking about day to day
life at Evergreen. I am instead
referring to the lack of information I
have this week in Poli ce Blotter.
Indeed, I was only able to obtain
six out of 19 reports I asked for,
meaning that I have reports on thefts
of building supplies, notebooks, and
pastry, but not a thing on incidents
featuring auto damage, arrests, or
drug paraphernalia. ['ill sure it's
okay, though . It's not like I needed
to know what was stolen, where
people got arrested, or what keeps
setting fire alarms off in P-Dorrn .
Tha t's just trivial information.
Oh well, on with the
abbrevia ted
and exp urga ted
mayhem ...
Oct. 13
Strangely, nothing is reported in the
blotter today. I guess it would be too
cliche to actually do something. It's
like going to a bar on St. Patrick's
Day.
Oct. 14
Sure enough, once it
12:50 a.m.
hits Saturday, the insanity lets loose.
Police respond to a report of a
disturbance between a man and
woman at the d@rm loop . When they
get there; a person states that a
woman was yelling about SOmeone
grabbing her. A second person says
that she was at a party in C-Dorm
with a couple of soldiers from Fort
Lewis when the woman started

A team of Facilities staff led by
Michel George, director of Facilities
Services, has been busy all s umm er
making improvements all over
campus, and th ey have many more
plans to improve Evergreen's
ca mpus in the near futur e.
For those of you that have been
away all summer, you missed seeing
all of the changes happ e n around
here. While most of these changes
have been co mparatively minor, like
installing baby changing stations in
the bathrooms and press ure washing
the outsides of the buildings, there
are some changes that have a lot of
people excited. The most notable
change is the remodeling of the
Computer Applications Lab (CAL)
and the wet labs. The old CAL was
typically crowded and overbooked.
Before the expansion, it had 30
computers for students to use; now
it holds 72. The CAL was not
relocated; it has just been
reconfigured to use the space more
effectively by taking over space
previously used as a hallway. The
wet labs also took over hallway
space. There has been a door
installed that leads directly out of
the building from the CAL.
Another improvement was to
the Studem Health and Counseling
and Police Services offices. The
original spaces were stripped down
to the bare walls and reconfigured
to m ee t the current needs. The
Counseling Center was moved to the
fourtl, floor. This. remodeling
promises to serve the Evergreen
community better by upgrading the
Police Service and the health care on
campus.
Over the past year, groundwater
has been infiltrating the Wellness
center and adjoining hallway. The
Wellness Center will be relocated to

Israel: The New Nazi Regime?
Watching the Watchmen

I·

Like it or not, America is a heavily
armed society, and in my mind not
having armed police is at best naive,
and at worst extremely dangerous.
Imagine an unarmed officer trying to
stop a group of armed criminals.
Also, I have never seen the hippie
pipe dream of ' hey now brother,
don't be so aggro, be mellow and
love your neighbor' work. In fact,
even at the Rainbow Gathering, the
council is armed with the weapon of
the mega-dose of LSD to enforce its
ideology, condemning someone to a
life sentence of mental illness.
Personally, I would rather be shot.
The orher' idea I often here
presented
is
the
complete
elimination of law enforcement. Do
people truly want go back to the
days of the lynch mob? Where a
majority group can choose to inflict
its personal vendettas against a
minority? I believe the real issue that
we, the Evergreen community, need
to be addressing concerning the
police is one of holding them
accountable for their actions.
One of the ways this can be done
is by having an independent public
review board of the department.
Along with this idea is granting the
review board the power to
participate in disciplinary actions
against officers who violate our
community standards. How about
the pOSSibility that this review board
be elected so that we as a community
can democratically hold the police
accountable? What if the police
department was required to have a
civilian. rider there for the purpose
of 'keeping them honest'?
Also the very real problems of
police abuses of power such as racial
profiling, L.A.'s Rampart anti-gang
units' murders and framing of
people, or the Mumia, Diallo, Peltier
cases are all things that could be
dealt with, if as a community we
were able to watch the watchmen .
Why don't the people who 'hate the
pigs' take some time ou t of their lives
to go on a ride along with the cops
and see what truly happens? Because
the last thing we need are more
ignorant leaders passing judgments.
What if the people yelling the
loudest were raped or got their asses
kicked by Nazi skins? Who do you
think they would calJ??? I guarantee
they would want the cops armed
when they apprehended the
perpetrators.

what did you learn this week? ·

By Adrian Martinez

Having been raised in an Orthodox Jewish household , this question has been unbearably painful for
me to ask. However, it is a question that I bel ieve the Jewish people and the world as a whole need to
examine before it is too late. The images of Israeli soldiers bearing high-powered weapons, strolling dow n
streets. taking aim at young people who bear only stones and flags are horrify ing to me . Everyone has to
examine the meaning of these images, RIGHT NOW!
Having traveled to Israel just this summer, only months before the c urre nt co nflict erupted , I have
seen many things that do not fit with my understanding of what Israel is supposed to represent. Israe l is
supposed to be a homeland, a safe place in the world for the Jewish people. Now, to ensure the power of
the Jewish people - the ruling ethnic group of the land - the State has fallen into the same genoc idal
patterns that have happened over and over again throughout history. In Israel, the Jewish people, so
recently oppressed themselves, have become the oppressors.
In Nazi Germany, Jews were forced to wear Stars-of-David on their clothing to identify themsel ves.
In Israel. Palestinians are required to carry complex identification paperwork and drive vehicles with
identifying license plates. In Nazi Germany, Jews were isolated to ethnic ghettoes. In Palestinian
settlements, you can see poor or nonexistent sanitation systems, t:indcrblock buildings without windows.
and you can feel an overwhelming sense of despair. In Nazi Germany, people clung to strong national istic
sentiments to help heal the wounds caused by World War I. Now, in Israel, people cling to strong
nationalistic sentiments to help heal the wounds caused by World War II. In Nazi Germany, people faced
social isolation and ostracism for questioning government policy. The same is now true in. Israel. To many
Israelis, and to Jews around the world, this is the fight for their promised homeland . The language is so
frighteningly in-line with the language of Nazi Germany. Now, even ethnic programs have become
acceptable in brael. The similarities are too real, 100 vivid.
If the bloodshed continues at this rate, we may all wake up Qne day and realize that it is too late. It
will have happened again. I beg the world , and particularly the Jewish people of America. do not allow this
to continue!

---------Dear Editor,
Here it is, the fifth week of class, and I am amazed that so few people write anything for the
CPJ(the article about the cops on campus was very good). Evergreen is based on collaborative learning, and there
are 5,500 students studying here, learning something, yet the CPJ is devoid of any of that collaborative learning .
Horoscopes and the police report in the CPJ just don't seem to be a good use of the resources of the CPJ. Hey you'
Yeah You! Yeaah, I am talking to you! What have you learned this week at Evergreen? I want to know something
about what you learned this week at Evergreen! Have you learned anything?
So I did not get the job at S&A to help spend the 1.1 million dollars of student money (on computers). In the
interview process I learned that all except $50,000 of the 1.1 million dollars was budgeted last year. This year 's
S&A board will be deliberating about how to spend your student money raised this year-next year. The $50,000
might possibly be used on computers.
So far J have seen about four different cop cars on campus. I haven't researched the budget for the cops, but
just looking at those four cop cars, I saw where the $150,000 that is needed for 50 more computers on campus
went. If this cop thing gets out of hand, Evergreen will be spending more on security than on education, like
California . I don't need the cops to feel secure, and given the fact that cops look at people as suspects and have a
tendency to shoot first and ask questions later, I am certainly glad CPJ is covering this aspect of life at Evergreen.
So I read about this accreditation discussion in last week's CPJ, which brings me to the point of this letter to
the editor. In class (Strategic Business Policies for the 21st Century) this week our instructors are talking about
"Learning Organizations." it seems that corporations and businesses are r.e alizing that in order to be profitable in
this rapidly changing world we live in, the corporations and businesses must have the creative ability to rapidly
chC'lnge. Our instructors are teaching us about the concept of "Learning Organizations" as the model these
corporations are using to achieve this ability to rapidly change. This fascinated me, so I went to the library to
check out a book our instructors had referred to: The Fifth Discipline, by Peter Senge. 11 was checked out (someone
in our class?), but there was another book, Ten Steps to a Learning Organization, by Peter Kline and Bernard
Saunders, so I checked it out and I have been reading it.
Guess what? What corporations are trying to achieve in transforming themselves into a "Learning
Organization" already exists right here on the Evergreen campus! Evergreen is on the cutting edge ofa new corporate
culture!
Kline and Saunders write:
"Sixteen Principles That Promote Learning"
1. Prime the mind of individuals at every level to be self-directed.
2. View mistakes as stepping stones to continuous learning, and essential to further business growth.
3. There must be willingness to rework organizational systems and structures of all types.
4. Because learning is an emotional process, the corporate culture is a supportive place to be.
5. Celebrate the learning process for its own sake, not just its end product.
.
6. Celebrate all learners equally.
.
7. Accomplish as much transfer of knowledge and power from person to person as pOSSible.
8. Encourage and teach learners to structure their own learning, rather than structuring it for them.
9. Teach the process of self-evaluation.
10. Recognize and accept as a goal the complete liberation of all human intelligence everywhere.
11. Recognize that different learning preferences are alternate tools for approaching and accomplishing
learning.
12. Encourage people to discover their own learning and thinking styles and make them accessible to others.
13. Cultivate each employee.'s abilities in all fields of knowledge, and spread the idea that nothing is forever
inaccessible to people.
14. Recognize that in order to learn something so it is easy for you to use it, it must be logical, moral, and fun.
15. Ideas can be developed best through dialogue- a~d discussion.
16. Everything is subject to re-examination and investigation.
There you have it: Evergreen is a "Learning Organization" par excellence. I notice that 80 percent of fourth
graders faiJed a test recently:
could it be that entering students at Evergreen suffered an inferior education at a Washington public school? Will
imposing general education requirements at Evergreen fix that?

Dear. sweet readers:
Due t'o time and space
limitati ons, Zeb Wilson's comic, "The
Retarded Spy," did not make it into the
Oct. 19th issue of the CPj. Zeb's
supponers, spanning to reaches
strang ely beyond the Evergreen
community, deluged the CPj office this
past week with letters, chastisements
and pleas to see Wilson's work back in
print. Despite the absence of his an in
one newspaper issue, we have not
"discontinued" his comic, nor have we
broken any supposed promises to
publish two separate strips by Wilson
per week . CPj's submission policy is to
print student work that arrives before
the 5 p,m, Friday deadline on a space·
available basis, When there is one page
allotted for Comix and several artists in

line for print, it is not feasib le to print
two strips by t he same artist.
Unfortunately, as the Comix Editor, I
didn't recognize Zeb Wilson's work as a
brilliant light in a fog of mediocrity, I,
in fact, chose not to print his "Spy"
comic (as is part of my job as editor) in
the Oct. 19th issue because it attemp-ts
to satirize retardation and struck me as
generally tasteless. However, I always
welcome letters, emails, and any other
feedback concerning the Comix Page
(including the Zeb Wilson travesty).
The CPj functions according to input of
the students who own it and Jlook
forward to hearing from you,

Tremors on the Force. l haven't seen it in the last few issues
and Ican't imagine why you'd stop printing it. His cartoon
isoneofthemain things Iam up to dateon and foUow in the
journal. (Pj seems like it would want to share in all of the
school's talent, to sh~y everyone lilat kinds of art people
on campus create, Zebedee's is very unique, smart and
actually funny, unlike some other really dull work. I think
you should keep Zeb's work alive, keep it in print and back
him up. The man's got extreme talent.

I want to see Zeb's cartoons. I do.

GREENER WOMEN SOCCER POSSIBLY
PLAYOFF BOUND

THE INTERVIEWS: JESSIE SMITH
By Shasta Smith

Put your trays up and your
back to their upright
positions because it's time for
.l nother session . This week I
i nterviewed Bak Shao lin Eagle
C law Kung Fu Team Evergreen
Women's captain and Shaolin
Eag le Aerobics teacher Jessie
Smith. Jessie is nationally ranked
<l~ a fighter and forms competi tor
in the NBL (Na tional Blackbelt
League) and is goi ng to the World
Championship Super Grands and
.;he's an Evergreen alumnus as of
last year.
~l'<lts

CPJ: What does it feel like being the
captain of the Women's Team?
Jessie: Well, it feels rewarding
because I get the opportunity to be
i1 model for other women who
want to have confidence and be
spor ty.
CPJ: How did you get into martial
arts?
Jessie: My mom was doing Tae
Kwon Do and she encouraged me
to join her, and I had heard of Kung
Fu from a friend cmd I thought it
was a more in telligent form of selfdefense. So then I moved to
Evergree n and found this club.
CPJ: What does it feel like being in
the fighting ring and fighting other
girls?
Jessie: Exciting, challenging; I love
the ad renaline and learning how to
be s mart in the ring and win.
CPJ: What's it like sparring guys in
the kung fu class)
Jessie: It's really annoying because
they're big brutes and beat me
up ... Just kidding. I think that men
have a better sense of fighting than
I do and [ learn i1 lot from sparring
them.
CPJ: Can you talk a little bit about

CPJ: How lon g have you been
training?
Jess ie: I'm in my third year with
Bak Shaolin Eagle Claw and have
had three years of Tae Kwon Do
before that in New Jersey.
CPJ: What is your advice to women
who want to train martial arts?
Jessie: Just do it ... Hee hee hee ... If
you want to really learn about
yourself and be strong, I believe
Bak Shaolin Eagle Claw is the best
way to do it.
confidence in yourself from doing
martial arts?
Jessie: Yes I can. First of all, the
amount of training [ do and the
amount [ practice helps me
understand myself and be aware of
my s urroundings and of my
abilities. That in itself gives me
confidence that I could apply the
skills that I learn. Competition
gives me another sense of
confidence.
For
example,
competing in front of people, doing
forms and doing well, pushing
through the fear gives me
confidence. Sparring in the ring
gives me confidence, because I' m
applying my skills to a total
stranger, and the more I spar in the
ring the more I get confidence that
my skills work. Although it's not a
"street level" confrontation, you
can still get seriously injured . I
know I can use the skills in a true
self-defense situation.
CPJ: How do you feel about going
to the Super Grands?
Jessie: Oh, boy ... Overwhelmed,
proud, a little nervous, and totally
psyched ... And I feel honored to
represent Evergreen, the state of
Washington, Bak Shaolin Eagle

Claw, and
Evergreen.

the

students

of
CPJ: Who should train?
Jessie: Everyone.

CPJ: How do you feel about being
the number one fighter in the
Northwest?
Jessie: Cool, proud of myseif.

CPJ: How is your aerobic class?
Jessie: It's going very well.

CPJ: How does it feel to be a
woman in a reasonably male
dominated sport?
Jessie: I don't think about it much,
because I'm not intimidated by it,
but like I've said before, I do f~el
like I'm a role model for other
women who want to be in the
sport.

CPJ: What do you enjoy most about
teaching the class?
Jessie: Well I have a lot of students
and most of the women tell me they
enjoy the class. I enjoy pushing the
women to get through the
humdrum of studying and daily
life . I also enjoy addit:lg new things
to the curriculum to make the class
more interesting.

CPJ: What do you love · about
training?
Jessie: I love being in the moment,
I love being challenged because all
the skills I learn are difficult, and I
love pushing through the pain of
training; it gives me the confidence
that I could conquer anything.

CPJ: What challenges do you face
teaching your aerobics class?
Jessie : I have many students. It
could sometimes be difficul t to
read where everyone is at; I want
to make sure fhat everyone is being
challenged and having a good
time.

CPJ: How do you prepare for
competi tion?
Jessie: I usually practice my forms
five to ten times a day. I also
practice sparring techniques every
day, and sparring with other

CPJ: What are your plans for the
future?
Jessie: Move to Seattle and begin
my career in teaching Bak Shaolin

aerobics and self-defense classes.

Public Housing
A Frederick Wiseman
Documentary (1997)
Friday 10/27, 6:20 pm Lecture HallS
" Iss ues that are all to o familiar - drugs, crime, teenage pregnancy, the
fru s trations caused by gove rnment red tape take on new immediacy thanks
to the ex traordinary intimacy of Mr. Wiseman's working methods. Through
one revealing, well-chosen episode after another, he succeeds in turning
sad generalities into powerfully affecting specifics. As ever in the work of
thi s towering documentary fi lm maker ... what star ts out as a distant
generality becomes flesh and blood .... Although Ida B. Wells has a large
popuLition, Public Housing is so se lectiv e in its scenes that it takes on a
small-town flavor by the time it is over. Occasional brief glimpses of people
congregating . . . help to capture the texture of everyday life. Mr. Wiseman' s
work has the depth and breadth to make that texture unforgettably rea l."

Meet Mindscreen
by Beatrice Donezal

"What is MINDSCREEN ~nyway? Who runs it? Is it some sort of mass
media conspiracy promoted by the studios to infiltrate Evergreen?"
I looked at this good-natured student friend and as she burst into a
laugh at the frown that appeared on my face with her joke and I thought,
"THAT'S IT!" What she had said solved the mystery why nobody seems to
get Mindscreen.
So, I'm writing this note to everybody, just to let you know that
Mindscreen is just the name of the student-operated movie theater. It is run
by students (currently me, Beatrice) . We took a vote last year to select the
movies. From the results of those votes I've been ordering the movies (95%
Independent films) that do not tend to get put up on a big screen anywhere
else for FREE!

Cancer - Twist and twirl and laugh
and giggle through your days_ Shake
off any gloom that may be hanging
around and resolve to have a damn
good weekend. Finish up any tasks
this week so you don't have anything
to dwell on. Get out of the house_ Go
to a dance, a party, a costume
extravaganza. Mingle with strangers
and converse with mysterious sprits

the moon while it's not in the sky.
Shine out where before you drew

one person at a time. Play up your
sexy side and dress to kill. Show some
leg, or chest, while donning your
magnetic costume. The energies you
d raw to you won't be anything you
ca n't handle, so summon up the beast
a nd beat the m at a thumb wa r of wise
wo rds. Work it.
Cos tum e ideas - Sa mur a i,

free in your relations. Loosen up to
the rhythms and get your groove on.
Mingle with some beautiful female
energy. Enchant a lover into your
grasp. Celebrate your deep and
powerful connections to fantastic
individuals. Let them know that you
appreciate them, and glow with
delight as you let them appreciate you
in all your glory.
Costume ideas - Fiery Dragon,
Adam or Eve.
Scorpio - Lucky you. I sense a
cosmic encounter in your immediate
future. Chances are you have sexy
prospects for a wild Halloween bash.
Don't allow yourself to get too
distracted from this initial impulse,
because it is right on and straying from
this connection will impair its final
expression. As you gear up for some
true snuggle opportunities, remember
to keep on your toes about the
wantings of your pal. They will tend
to fluctuate, and pushing forward
with the full force of your intensity
will ody scare them off. Be gentle yet
true to your desires. Speak your urges
in hot whispers and let them come to
you. Though the ultimate may not be
attained, the groundwork for future
encounters can be laid to perfection.
Costume ideas - Cowboy/girl,
Death's Stallion/My Little Pony, a
Lucky Leprechaun.

Aquarius - Run with the herd.
Grease your flanks and join in the
hunt. Let a past life inspire your
fantastic costume. Gather with your
magical friends and get freaky. Dance
and play. Frolic in the starlight. Go
skinny-dipping in a magical pool. Call
up distant friends and discuss future
visits. Then be where you are full on
in the moment, doing what you want
to do, not what you "have to do." Be a
slacker and love it. Release old guilt
built up over the years. Create new
facial expressions to add to your
colorful collection. Be as fantastic as
you truly are.
Costume ideas - the Queen of
Hearts/ Ace of Spades, Pele, a
Pleadian.
Pisces - Surrender to the energy of
All Hallows Eve. Don't be a grim
reaper; be a lullaby of starlight and
sing your inner beauty. Wear your
heart like a mask instead of masking
your heart. Let your feet keep up with
your mind, taking you strange and
unfamiliar places. Do host a party of
sorts, surrounding yourself with your
collection of fancy friends. Then
contrast this evening with a random
adventure, previously unrehearsed.
Sing karaoke in front of people you
may never see again. Delight in
daring excursions to remember for
eternity. Make new memories.
Costume ideas - Mermaid/man,
Anime character, Starlight.

Sagittarius - Ah, the torture of desire
swells beneath your skin. Don't be a
miser with your heat. Share a blanket
with, a new friend and let your skin
tingle with delight. Whatever you do,
don't think too much. Let any chance
affection be whimsical and
lighthearted. Keep your boundaries
clear and then push them to the edge.
Do what you want to do. Know what
you want and then enjoy what you get.
Beware expecting anything but
demand what you need if the chance
should arise. Play with fire. Don't let
fear get in the way of a damn good
time. Be bold and daring while fully
in charge of your self. Own your
sexuality, but feel free to share it if the
moment feels right.
Costume ideas- Medieval , - - - - - - - - - - - - -- - - - - - --Vampire, Medusa, Crow or Eagle.
Capricorn - Go ahead, spend the
ex tra money for that perfect costume.
Let yourself break out of the daily
grind for a while. Compromise your
principles, if only to conclude that they
are well placed. Perhaps a shift will
encourage strange negotiations of
limits that you had previously
imposed . Go with it. Watch yourself

shift shapes, and let it happen. You
have strangeness you may not like to
admit to. Flaunt it. Use Halloween as
an excuse to break out of a
monotonous pattern. You can always
go back to it later. But, if after
experiencing wild and random
expressions of characteristics you may
not have appreciated until they seized
the opportunity to explode into Sight,
you don't feel the need to go back to
your comfort zone - take your freedom
and run with it to establish a new you.
Costume ideas - Volcano, the
Earth Goddess, Time.
