In 1965. when abortion was $ti lt illegal nationwide
excep t in cases of life endangerment, at least 193 women
died from illegal abortions, and illegal abortion accoumed
for nearly 17 percent of all deaths due to pregnancy and
childbirrh in that year.
We don't remember the days when abortions were illegal
and "choice" for women too often meam choosing between
a "back alley butcher" and a long , nightmarish nip to
o ne of the few compassionate physicians who provided
clandestine, medically safe abortions. It is easy to take for
granted the rights that were secured by Roe v. Wade-the
historic Supreme Court decision that guarantees a woman's
right to choose. On January 22, 1973 , the Supreme Courr
ruled in Roe v. Wade that the constitu tionally guaranteed
right to privacy "is broad enough to encompass a woman's
decision whether or not ro terminate her pregnancy." Since
Roe V. Wade, Americans have see n the passage of state
laws that restrict abortion and the willingness of courts to
uphold them. A woman 's ability to exercise her right to
choose aborrion is becoming increasingly dependent on the
state in which she lives. Requiring young women to obtain
the consent of or notify their parents prior to an abortion
and imposing mandatory waiting periods before abortion
procedures are two examples of legislative obstacles to
timely and effec tive reproductive health care.
In Washingron srate we have been forrunate, We are
the most pro-choice state in the country. That means we

9:19 p.m. Fire alarm l Fire alarm! Fire

and food stuffs on the burner. It seems that
rhis is always the culprit. doesn't it?
9:58 p.m. Someone wa lking down he
beach trai l heard a woman sc ream. Being
co ncerned for her safety, he went to the
spor where he believed ' the scream came
from and saw two people, one male and
one female . He engaged them in conversation and asked if everything was okay. The
ma le said that everything was, in fact, okay.
So rhe concerned ciri zen went ro ger a

thar no one was there. It was at thar rime
rhat he called Police Servi ces. When they
arrived on sCl'l1e. rhe ciri7.en took the police

was no sign of allY struggl e nor we re they

But in the back sea t of the ca r were rwo

for safety 's sake. Now that too could have
been a minor in fracrio n had th e person
coope rated with the police officer. But th is
person didn 't. In fact. he was a big jerk
to the police office r that was rrying to
get idenrifi ca tion. Afrer a ten-minute
debate on why the non -sea tbelt wearer
didn't have ro give the cop his 1D. he was
taken into custody for failure to provide
information/failure to obey an officer.
3:00 a.m. Another problem with the
exha ust system on a car results in anorher
car getting pulled over. In addition to that.
the turn signal on the passenget side d idn' t
light up, and the month expiration sticker
was l}1issing from rhe license plate. After
contacti ng the dri"er, it was discovered
that h e was driving with a suspended
license. During a search of hi:; person, a
smal l wooden p:pe was found rhat smelled

of being smoked was found in rhe ca r in a

This proves it. Eve ryo ne in the apartment

May 3
12:50 a.m. The emergency phone in
F-Lot was pushed twice, but all that cou ld
be heard was a loud banging noise. A
crime watch member sa id that the person
had run off into rhe woods. so rhe police
went after him. He was fo u nd. secured
in handcuff:, and walked Ollt to F-Lot.
The crime watche r verified that the man
in custody was the o ne that pushed rh e

it. He adm itted to being near the phone.
bur that he didn't use it. He was issued
a cri minal tres pass from campus a nd was
escorted to Safeway.
2:57 a.m. Oh ye . yo u taunr fate. do
you? Waking the sleeping during a night

maliciously pull your fire alarm? No! So
stop pulling theirs. It 's cold at this time of

maybe no wolves, but it is cold , so stop

respond to rhe alarms when they go off on
the middl e of the night. [ understand. Bur
you have to respond , because when you
don'r, it makes rhose of us that did have

makes it worse on yourself.
1 :33 a.m, Anothe r MIP on this fine
early morning? Yes. I do believe that
there is. This young man was caught carrying an open container of Cook's brand
champagne. Seems that this person not

force :ibout an)' topic. May 13 is the next forum in
CAB 110 at 4 p.m. And since these forums began
this year, only one studt:nt attended to voice rheir
thoughts.
Now, if Mr. Pein had done more investigating,
he would have come to the weekly RA meeting to
get a fuller sto ry, Instead, he ca lled me at my home
(I sti ll don't know how he obtained my personal
phone number) and asked me two narrow quesrions
and then hung up while my dinner was getting cold
on my kitchen table. [Editor's note: The Cooper
Point Journal, using the state Public Disclosure Act,
is given access to police logs . On these police logs
are listed the phone numbers of RAs, since as RAs
they are public figures.] No other RAs were asked
any questions regarding 4/20, Then Mr. Pein gave
false information to Art Consrantino and said that
"RAs encouraged students to smoke weed in the
Meadow." First of all, after April 20, when asked
at the weekly RA meeting w ho actua lly knew that
there was go ing to be a parry in the Meadow, not
one RA knew of the parry, in cluding the Family
Hous in g RA, w hi ch is one of my positions at
Evergreen Housing. This brings me to the second
mis-in formative stalement that Mr. Pein wrote in
his article. Mr. Pein said rhat I told my residents
to go into the woods. Not one of th e families in
th e MODs eve n knew about the 4120 party or
tr.ldition. Most of them arc single mothers and
barely have enough tim e to st ud y for sc hool in

asked me about the :lrticle and wonckred whom I
wou ld tell that to , because that information i, of no
usc to [he fam il ies in Housing. This brings me to my
second position ar Everg reen, which is the co ndu ct

three years now. I organize the arbitration panel,
which is Hous ing's means o f dispute reso ilition .

members about the poss ibility of a protest or riar
concerning the police presence on the soccer field
on April 20. This relares to Mr, Pein's quoting me
as wanting residents to be "safe." Due to those
co ncerns, I gave st ude nts other optio ns such as
the woods and Arts Walk, never once mentioning
the meadow because I had no knowledge of such
activities.
It seemed to me that Mr. Pein was interested in

Writer's Response to "4/20
Party" (S/2102)
Last week, the CPj published a lerrer from Miles
Glew, a Housing RA, who felt that my reporting on
the 4/20 p:uty, in an :micle on the cover two weeks
ago ["4/20 Parry Goes On, Field or No FieU," April
25J , was inaccurate.
The article said that RAs, who are paid by the
col lege to repr<:sent the school's policies to Housing
residents, told students to smoke POt in the woods
rather than the field, where the party is usually
held each year. Mr. Glew's comp laint was that the
stor), only quoted one RA, and that I used that
one RA's comment' to make ir seem lhat every RA
behaved the same way.
Mr. G lew says he did not tell his residents
to sm oke por in the woods, and I believe him.
Howe~er, I did not just talk to one RA before
writing my article. A number of students, from all
over Housing, sai d tha t the ir RAs had told rhem
somerhing sim ilar to the o ne quoted in the story.
Other students said the ir RAs to ld them not to talk
to any reporrers. I dOll't think those students had
a ny reason to li e. However, the sto ries of the chief
o(po lice and the RA I spoke to changed as I kept
aski ng them qut:stions. First they said, "there was no
party," then "yeah, th ere was a parry," then "yea h,
1 told them to go to the woods," or "yeah, I knew
they were in the Mcadow."
I did not say that every single RA had told their
residenrs the same thing, because I didn't know that
to be true. But after talking to students, 1 knew it
was more than a few RAs. I sa id as much to Art
Costanti no, who oversees the police and Housing.
It would have been impossible to reach every single
RA employed by HOllsing in the time I had, so I
stuck with what I kn ew. That is. college employees
told students whe re to go to not get arre.' ted for
breaking the law. In my estimation, the situa lion
wou ld not be much different if on ly one-half, onethird, or one-quarter of the RAs told their residents
to go to the woods to smoke pot.
I don't think it's a big surprise that RAs, who
are students and friends with the people in their
bu ildi ngs, would put their fr iends above co llege
policy. I tho ught it was mo re surpr ising that the
RAs' supervisor didn't step in , and that the pol ice
didn't break up rhe party after they knew where
it was moving.
Mr. G lew, if you are concern ed abour how the
conduct of yo ur fellow RAs reflects on you, ),our
position, and the co llege, then I wou ld suggest you
take it up with your boss, because thi ngs wou ld have
gone the same way if [ had not written an art icl e
about it. I stand by my concl usions, but I am glad
you cared enough to write a letter.

The late summer hear of 1997 reminded
me of 1977. In two days I saw the Sex Pistols
reunion show {where I bruised two ribs and
nearly broke a third}, as well as what was
advertised as the "last-ever Elvis Costello and
the Attractions show."
Both shows knocked me over with a
tsunami of excitement.
Sarcastic excitement, 1 might add.
I was overjoyed to see these longtime music
heroes of mine, but at the same time I felt
that reunion and farewell shows were for
ignorant has-beens.
Five years later, I may be eating my cynical
pride on a plate made by Mr.Cosrello himself.
1 was very skeptical to give his new album,
When I Was Cruel, a chance.
Only days before hearing the disc, I had
received the press junket for it, which included

If I could go back in time to anend one
concert, it would be the Fargo date of the
Winter Dance Parry where Buddy Holly,
Ri chie Valens and The Big Bopper graced
the stage.
Ala s. 1 ca nnot go back in time. but last

whi ch is today's version of Winter DanCe'

The Pop DisaHer Tour feat ure, Green

Buddy Holly in musical respect~bilit)' and

that recall the jocularity and jovialiry of The
Big Bopper; and Jimmy Eat World, rhe upand-com ing band that wrires grear n~u si c like
Richie Vale/1S.
These hi >ro ri cal compariso ns aside. the
three bands drew an eclectic crowd at rhe
Tacoma Dome last Wednesday. The most
noticeabl e parr of the crowd, of course, was
the prepubescent, "holy-fu cking-sh it -Travisis-sa-hot" tee nie-b o ppers c hape roned by
frightened-looking parenrs.
There was also the older crowd that ca me
o ut to suppo rt the so mcwlut old-school punk
rock of Green D ay.
Also in attendance was a crowd of "emo"
kids who waited eagerly in line to see [h e
emo-rifflc Jimmy Ear World .
And there was a group of people, like
Traditions
Cafe & World Folk Art
B
myself, who came out ra see all
three bands perform so me of
raday's best music.
Jimmy Eat World was the first
band on stage. Thanks to the
band 's critically acclaimed eponymous album , the floor was full
' ..
of fans that reacted with great
enthusiasm to the music.
The sound system at the Tacoma Dome
was surprisingly clear and crisp, which allowed
the band to put on an amazing yet regrettably
short set.
JEW's hits like "Sweetness, " "Bleed
American" and "The Middle" gave fans all
the reasons to lose themselves in massive
mosh pits .
I had the chance to see JEW at New York's
Irving Plaza, but rhat was right after the
release of their recen r album, and since [
hadn't heard much of their music, I didn't
go. I kick myself everyday for not attending
that show.
Next up was Green Day, who co-headlines
Pop Disaster with Blink 182. A lot of people
feel a sense of iniquity because Blink 182 is
the last band to perform on the tour, and
traditionally, headliners play last. However, it
was clear on Wednesday night that audience
members wanted Green Day the worst.
Green Day played an electrifying set. The
band's contagious and effervescent energy
picked up as soon as the charismatic Billie
Joe Armstrong took the stage, and the energy
captivated the audience until the very last
minute.
Longtime fans were treated to a set of
mOltly old favorites from the band. Classics
like "Longview, " "Basket Case" and "When
I Come Around" brought the house down
and instilled in everyone the need co dance
and mosh .
Green Day gracefully finishea its set with
"Time ofYour Life," during which Armstrong
stood alone on the stage with his guitar like a
thespian delivering a Shakespearean soliloquy.
For some reason, that moment was especially
poignant.
After such an awesome set of music, it was
near impossible for Blink 182 to top Green
Day's performance.
By the time Blink 182 took the stage, it was
already 10:30 pm. The band wasted no time
and launched into [WO delicious pop- punk
tunes from Enema of the Slate, accompani ed
by ear-shattering pyrotechnics.
But despite the decent entrance , it W.l>
immediately clear thar Blink's energy and
enrhusiasm were nowh ere near that of Green
Day's.
Also, I was feeling somewhat bored during
the set. I had good reasons to be bored. I had
seen Blink 182 on four separate occasions
prior to Wednesday night's performance. Also.
Blink's prurient shtick was getting somewhat
played-out for me. Incessant repetition of
penis jokes and usage of words like ''fuck,''
"shit," "cocksucker" and "cunt" probably
am used 12-year-olds, but not me.
Regardless of the band's onstage antics,
the highlight of the set came during the last
two songs. A few seconds into "Dammit."
Travis Barker and h is drum set were elevated
to about 20 feet in the air, and it began to
rotate 360 degrees while Barker continued
drumming. That srunt was probably the most
.
duri
Blink's
Prince's April 29 concert at Seattle's Paramount Theater
was p retry fun.
He played about three songs that I recognized, though
he mostly played songs from his new album, "Rainbow
Children."
He suggested that Bill Gates buy him a new car.
And he played that one guitar he had made to look like
a symbol ... you know, that one symbol that he changed his
name to for a while.
Oh, and he kept his lyrics really clean.
I can't verify this, but I heard a rumor that Prince up and went Christian on us,
meaning that we won't get to hear a lot of his nastier songs live any more.
So instead of gerring to see Prince's ass, we get to see Prince complain about how the radio
doesn't play music anymote, and how he's starting his own radio station (WNPG).
After Prince announced that last one at the show, he projeC[ed the letters "WNPG" in
Times New Roman typeface onto the wall. It stayed there the whole night.
So, um ... I guess you should go see Prince if you like seeing letters being
projected.

The Pop Disaster Tour

o ing a littk bit ofextra allger
baggage lately? Knock it off you're
st.'fldillg bad vibes my u1a)(
:
a short essay by Mr. Costello explaining his
return to "loud " music and his return to
working with the musicians who "no longer
go by the name the Attractions" (although
the record is the original Elvis Costello and
the Attractions lineup).
It seemed to me that Elvis may have
been going the way of Johnny Rotten and
recording and touring for, oh god no, money.
I was skeptical that this was going to be an
unashamed reunion album hiding under the
radar of not being a reunion album.
The first song, ~45,' shoved my words
right back down my mouth.
All in all, When I Was Cruel captures the
same raw blend of intellectual lyricism and
intensiry that the first three Costello albums
held (My Aim Is True, This Years Model,
Armed Forces).
However, this record doesn't seem to be
a greatest hits revisited or, to coin a Beastie
Boys term, "the same old bullshit."
It is simply Costello returning to his
rawest state, this t ime informed by forrysix years of age, an unleveled pop- music
sensibi lity, and the grace that on ly Burt
Bacharach could brush upon him.
After spending the better part of the last
five-plus years in the land of balladeering
and orchestral song writing, Costello is back
at home. And still dear to my heart.
*When I Was Cruel is produced on Island
Records and is fllJ(lilabl~ at local music sto'"S.

"O ne could say they were using us for
publicity," says Chris Bowers, an Evergreen
studenr who marched with the farmers .
The farmers pulled the Evergreen students
by the arms to rhe front of rhe group so
that the cameras could catch them, Bowers
says. But it was more of an inviration rhat a
demand, he says.
The farmers handed several Evergreen
srudents machetes to hold up and wave along
with them .
Bowers said he was glad to step out of the
classroom and participate first hand in his
studies, while fulfilling Evergreen's reputalion
for active learning.
"We were studying the h isror y of land
reform and political economy in Mexico , and
labor slruggles are inherent in those. To go
out and march wirh the ca!11pesinos (farmers)
is gett ing a direct experielke of whal we're

But on their way to Guadalajara, a day after

stopped the bus and led the group off.
The agents divided the group by gendet
and brought them in [WO vans to an office in
Guadalajara, where rhey sat for a few hours,
according to Leahy's estimation.
From there , officers escorred them to
Guadalajara airport, where Leahy and the
students were asked to sign their expulsion
orders.
Some of the studenrs did not sign the
expulsion orders.
" It was there it sunk in," said Bowers.

W ILt,
When a child has a commu nication
disorder, making friends and succeeding
in school can be next to impossib le.
More trou bling, research shows th at
n early 84% of incarcerated yo uths have
problems communicating. And 70%
of ad ult prisoners score in the lowest
literac), levels. Fortu na tely, earl y
identification a nd support can help
chil dren develop the learning skills
needed to succeed in school and in li fe .

I had not, I got
angry at myself for not
being a better sleeper.

I spent the next hour staring

I ended up going to class
anyway.
