We have been analyzing these events over the last few months in
comparison to the Police Services Standard Operating Procedures
(SOPs) and values of Evergreen to find solutions to some of
these controversies. We have come up with several ideas and had
meetings with Art Costantino and Steve Huntsberry. Some of
these suggestions will be in effect very soon.
In the next week or two, boxes marked 'police comments' will
be placed in convenient locations for members of the community
to submit suggestions, complaints and compliments about our
Police Services, We are told that we have a partnership, so your
opinion is very important. These comments must have your name
on them or else they will not be taken in to consideration, as we
believe that one should rake responsibility and ownership of ones'

In the last few weeks I have seen this aggressive back and forth "dialogue"
in this column. Voices of Color should be a place where students of color
can talk about what's going on, how they feel, and what changes need to
be made. None should question that. I don't agree with a lot of what has
been said, bur I respect it.
I would also like to take this opportunity to let people know thar February is

Time unknown: A burnt bicycle was found propped up in front of the Longhouse . It had to have been in a substanrial fire, as it had melty tires and a melty seat. There
wasn't any indication of a fire at the location, so the bike was burnt elsewhere.
9:36 a.m. Apparently someone doesn't like Bon Appetit's food. So much to the fact that they wrote mean, nasty things on a green chalkboard about nachos and berter food . It
makes the poor Bon Appetit people sad ro hear that people don't like their food.
7:56 p.m. Fire alarm in S dorm.

1 :30 a.m. The happy vending machine in the HCC was tipped over. Now this could be a case of mistaken identity, but this reporter has never seen a cow in there, so tlut ca n't be
what it is. Luckily, no one was caught under it, so there weren't any injuries sustained. Except for th e pride of the vending machine, of course.
3:00 a.m. There was a smashed-up television on the walkway leading to the CAB. This must mean that someone got really upset with late-night programming (l.lIst CIIIl wit/;
Carson Daly, maybe?) and decided to hurl it out of the window. Not exactly the brightest move, but maybe they lost the remote control.

been all sorts of broken inro and her stuff had been a-srolen.
11 :00 p.m. A party in the MODS creates a small problem and res ults in .. . an MIP. Seems the party didn't have the infamous party permit, so Police Services approached the part)'
and saw someone drinking th e infamous brewskie in plain eyesight of anyone (Translation: in PUBLIC!) . So he gar the infamous bright and shiny MIP.

he decided to take it home with him. Don't know exactly what you would do with a yellow car boot, but to each his own. Poor Pitbull car boot.

President Bush's State of the Union
Address offered the nation only cursory
solutions to impending environmental
crises, which sparked skepticism with
politicians and environmental groups
alike. Fortunately, Washington State has
some plans of its own.
He briefly touched on Clear Skies
legislation, a program proposed in July
2002 as a response to a growing need for
an emission reductions plan that will set
a national cap on power plant emissions
of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide
into the environment. As optimistic as
the name Clear Skies seems, it affects
only power plants, and according to the
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA),
Washington State's power plant emissions
are already below proposed levels.
Bush also proposed funding for hydrogen-powered automobiles, with the goal
to "make our air significantly cleaner,
and our counrry much less dependent on
foreign sources of energy." Under Bush's
plan, -$1.2 billion over five years would go
toward the Energy Department's Freedom
Fuel and Freedom Car initiatives, devoted
to developing hydrogen-powered fuel cell
technology. The proposal also includes
$72 0 million in new funding.
Myron Ebell, an environmental analyst with the Competitive Enterprise
Institute, told the Oakland Tribune that
he believes the commercialization of
hydrogen technology is more like 20
or 30 years away.
"It's promising, but it's very, very
far down the road," he cautioned.
Kris Hawkins, Transportation
Programs Coordinator at Climate
Solutions in Olympia also questioned
whether Bush's plan was as beneficial
as he tries to make it sound.
"From a prevention of global
warming standpoint, the ultimate
question with any fuel source for
our transportation system would be,
'Is that source of energy renewable?'
So, with fuel cells that can run on
hydrogen, the question is, 'How did
you make that hydrogen?'"
Washington State is working on its
own technology-based solution to automobile emissions. House Bills 1240 through
1243 were recently brought before the
House Technology, Telecommunications,
& Energy Committee, and were passed
on February 4, 2003 with only minor
amendments to each bill . These bills
propose tax incentives for the production
and use of biodiesel , a fuel made from
soybeans, oilseed crops, recycled vegetable
oil and restaurant grease. It is the fastest
growing alternative fuel in the country
with annual sales of approximately $25
million. In addition, the fuel can be used
in any diesel engine built after 1992 or in
earlier models once minor modifications
are made.

I broke a tear and many were enveloped with sorrow when the Space Shuttle
Columbia burned up upon entty through
the atmosphere on February 1 at 9:06
a.m. Eastern Standard Time (EST).
Speeding at Mach 18 (18 times the speed
of sound, or pretty freaking fast), the
shuttle shattered to pieces, shaking the
ground below. The accident ended the
lives of seven astronauts :who were trying
to make it home.
At 2:04 p.m ., our monkey-faced and
equally dense President came on and
addressed the nation about the tragedy.
First of all, he attempted to comfort the
country by saying there was no terrorist
involvement. This is due to the fact that
one of the astronauts, Dan Ramon, who
is from Israel, might have had some evil
plot against him.

Representative
Brian
Sullivan
(D-Mukilteo) said, "This package is
designed not only to clean up our air and
reduce health problems, but also to help
farmers in our state by starting a new
industry." Rep. Sullivan is an advocate for
alternative fuel in Washington.
According to Sullivan's research, the
benefits from using biodiesel include
reducing harmful vehicle emissions that
pollute the air and contribute to global
warming, extending an e ngine's life ,
improving fuel economy, and reducing
reliance on foreign oil. Biodiesel also
presents a tremendous economic growth
opportunity for Washington State.
Washington's own Governor Locke

yours, conservation is a way of life. But
the administration is determined to roll
back much of this progress. Our nation
should lead global efforts to promote
environmental responsibility -- not shun
them. And instead of opening up the
Alaskan wilderness to oil drilling , we
should be committed to a national policy
to reduce our dependence on oil by
promoting American technology and
sustainability. "

Tragedy

Initial investigations by authorities
of wreckage and fragmented transmissions before the explosion concluded
that the heat-resistant coating on the
underside of the shuttle overheated.
Also, upon launching, some minor
damage to the wing was noticed, yet
NASA officials dismissed the problem
because it was too minor to possibly
affect their mission. It is being proposed
that this migh.t have been a main contributor to the incident. Another cause
was the irregular temperature and pressure throughout the ship, which altered
the vector of its entry through the
atmosphere. The result was the vehicle's
fatal plummet through the atmosphere.
What's freakish as well is that
by Aimu Buturworth
Saturday's accident was almost exactly 13
years to the day since the Space Shuttle
Challenger met its fate. NASA will not
build another Columbia, which will
shorten their aging space fleet to the
Atlantis, Endeavor, and Discovery. Sadly,
all we can do now is mourn our loss and
hope that we'll rise above these trials to
pursue our endeavors as a space-faring
race.

Show At The United Nations
Ii' EliCh Albiiri1t
The Bush administration has demanded
that Iraq show cooperation with weapons
inspectors by this weekend, when the
weapons inspectors report to the UN on
Feb 14. or face "serious consequences."
The AP reports that there will be 150,000
troops stationed in the Persian Gulf region
by February 15 and the number will likely
exceed 200,000. In an atrempt to convince
the skeptical international community,
Secretary of State Colin Powell presented
the Bush administration's dubious case to
the UN on February 5. He claimed Iraq is
guilty of non-compliance while concealing
weapons of mass destruction and h",ving
links to terrorists as reasons why the world
should act against Iraq.
Powell's presentation used numerous
anonymous sources, unverified intelligence
reports, unverified telephone conversations
between Iraqi soldiers, and satellite photos.
He also commended a report by the British
government as a "fine paper. .. which
describes in exquisite detail Iraqi deception
activities." Yet, on Saturday the NY Times
reported that the British government admitted they had plagiarized large sections of
the report from magazines and academic
journals.
By previously withholding this "evidence" from inspectors, the US has violated
clause 10 of UN Security Council Resolution
1441 which requests all members provide
"any information rdated to prohibited
programs. "
Powell asked, "How much longer are
we willing to put up with Iraq's noncompliance," without acknowledging that Hans
Blix, a chief weapons inspector, told the
UN on Jan 27 that Iraq was cooperating
"in order to complete the disarmament ,task
through inspection." Another example of
hindering inspections given was that the
Iraqi regime was spying on weapons in~ pec
tors and had even "accused the inspectors
of conducting espionage." Blix has rejected
the claim that weapons inspectors have
been spied on and the accusation by Iraq
that the weapons inspectors are spies is not
so far-fetched, considering the US used
weapons inspections in 1998 for espionage
purposes.
Weapons inspectors have also found "no
evidence" of Powell's claim "that Iraq has
at least 7 of these mobile biological agent
factories." He also asserted Iraq could
use unmanned aerial vehicles as "an ideal
method for launching a terrorist amick
using biological weapons." This is possible
except that no Iraq military aircraft could US sponsored war against the Russians in

China asserted: "As long as ' chere is still

, Security Council "must do everything [it)
can to support the inspections process."
Even most rotating members of the
Security Council that are more vulnerable
to US manipulation supported continuation of inspections. Germany, the
current president of the Security Council
asserted that: "We must continue to seek
a peaceful resolution." Syria, an "axis of
evil" nation, called for the endorsement
and patience of the Security Council
and said: "The continuation of the work
of the inspectors would definitely lead
to building confidence in the region."
Angola, Chile, Guinea, Pakistan and
Mexico also expressed their support for

In the words of US representative

The Olympia ' Mahayana Buddhist
Center (OMBC) recently celebrated the
grand opening of its new home in downtown Olympia at 416 Washington Street,
Suite 203. It all started three years ago as a
seed in the mind of one local Olympian who
had a wish to study and practice Buddhist
teachings. By requesting a qualified teacher
from the Vajralama Buddhist Center (VBC)
in Seattle, Olympia first sprouted as a
satellite branch of the Seattle Center, and
has quickly blossomed into a full center,
offering an extensive range of weekly
classes on Buddhist psychology, philosophy
and meditation to Olympia and outlying
communities.
Both the VBC of Seattle and Olympia's
new OMBC are a part of the New Kadampa

and scholar who introduced Kadampa
Buddhism to the west in 1976.

A Student Resgonse to the
Dear Editor:
Vay OfRresence"
As a minority stude nt, I found that t he Thursday [Feb ruary 7]
Fishbowl seminar helped me to articulate so me of my frustrations with
th e classroom climate. However, like other anempts at diversity training,
such as "anti-oppression" workshops held within some programs at TESC,
the Fishbowl seminar was aimed at whites.
The problem is that for minority students, these are a waste of time;
TESC's diversity events and trainings are designed for white students, who
perhaps gain new insights about themselves. While white's 'boundaries'
may be 'pushed,' students of color have dealt with racial issues their
entire lives. If we are to use class time to address racial issues, then ALL
students need to be challenged.

Protest on February 15:

As millions prepare to take on the warmongers in Washington , th e Bush regim e
is responding with blatant scare tactics and
denial of civil liberties. Meanwhile much

of The N ation , atte mpt to di smantle th e
powerful and growing anti-war movement
with propaganda 50's-McCarthy-style.
In one bold move, business man turned
ma yo r Mi c hael Bloo mberg h as d enied a
permit for the majo r march coming thi s
Sa turday, February 15 in N ew York C ity
(although th e a nti-w a r protes t will go on
without th e march as scheduled) . New York
City police argue that there wil~ be too many
pro testo rs and th erefore th e conditions will
be un safe. I magin e th at , trying to stop a
protest because there is going to be too many
peo ple there. What a re these people tryin g
[0 tell us?
NYC police may not ha ve [0 worry, since
the Bush administration has put th e nation
o n hi gh alert, turning the city into what
looks like a military-occupied territory. New
York is bas ically under siege beca use Tom
Ridge changed the d ial to a brighter color. In
additi on, Pataki just rammed his new 'antiterrorism' legislation through th e Republican controlled Senate, giving NYC police mu ch
broader s urveillan ce ca pabilities. So th e presence o f soldiers arm ed with mass ive weaponry
will surely act as a deterrent to folks who
wa nted to voice their o pinion at Saturday's
protest, but were still a litrle un sure.
For those who think I am exaggerating,
check out the front page of Tuesday's New

to organize, educate, and mobilize people
against the war.
Writers like David Corn (Washington
editor of The Nation) have recently written
articles for numerous publications and
appeared on right wing talk shows such as
The O'Reilly Factor, where he has lambasted
International Answer for being a front group
for th e Worker's World Party (WWP) . One
criricism ofWWP is that they support 'killers:'
Mumia Abu -Jamal , and spies (the Cuban
Five).
First of all , Corn would do well to look
closer at these cases', especially the Amnesty

case o f Mumia, the phony trial , and in th e
case of the Cuban Five, th e system atic hum an
rights abuses co mmirred agai nst th ese five
men for infiltrating and documenting th e
terrorist activity of C uban-A merican mafia

US invasion of Afghanistan in 2001.

Michael Lerner from Sunday's protest in San
Francisco. We do not have the time or space
to argue he re why. rhis claim is false (a nd

th e fact th at nobody trul y concerned with

nothing but help to divide and conquer.

Man is brought to be in a world of
deception . The most unnerving part of this
deception is that it is not anything of nature,
but all of man's doing. The best example of
this is man's idea of individualism.
Everyone wants a king. Throughout
history, people have bent over backwards to
have a king, perhaps because it represents
some type of symbol that binds a nation.
Nations are not bound by individuals who
dress in expensive' garbs and who don't work
for anyone, forcing others to do it for them .
Man simply thinks that he needs to be ruled
or subjugated to a higher force.
In religion and government, the'antidote
to all of man's problems is reconciliation.
Rather than free one's self, man chooses to
petition his problems to a higher force in
hopes that he will somehow be better off.
Is man truly nor in control of his own life?
Such is the folly and myth that seems to
bind all men .
Too often higher powers are removed
from the problem to deal effectively with
it. Still, man petitions to highe r powe rs
to solve his problems. When is it time he
solved these wants or needs on his own?
Once again, who knows how to run your
life better, X in the North Pole, or you, the
discerning ' being' of your own life?
Man also wishes to control others. This
ava rice is encouraged tath er than abhorred .
Some individuals think that they know
how to run other peo pl e's lives better. This
same individual would scoff at the notion
of having someone control his life, though .
Seldom does one think about what they
could be taking away from someone else.
No one owes you anything, but you owe
it to yourself to be the best you possibly
can be. Should others value your character,
you can d evelop rewarding relationships
with them if you choose. Man is supposedly
ruled by fact as opposed to fiction ; when
will he act like it?
How does thi s relate to anything? I
live in a world where words are twisted
and avarice is turned into right. I was
recently admonished for my 'civic' position
of not keeping the business world in check.
Co nsumets and protesters keep business in
check, so why should I? Then comes the
argument of control and how 'they control
you.' Perhaps, but this definitely needs
investigating. If they control, then you
'submit.' Stand tall! Were you not taught to
walk when just a youth?
Ahh ... but these consumers and protestors are just as selfish and full of over-zealous
joy as the people they profess to hate. They
need a third party to step in and help them.
Perhaps the third party will give them an
unfair handi ca p. Enter the Government.
H ow selfish! You ca n't get your way so you
get mommy or daddy (the governm ent) to
fotce yo ur way on someone else. Are you
agai nst all a uthority?
Begin with yourself. T he plight of man
co ntinues o n ... and I'll just laugh when you
all d estroy yo urselves.
Is the Left Committeed
to the Cause of Jewish
Survival?
by Daniel Fleck
This article is regarding the Left's failure
to detec t a nti-Semitism and to recognize
the unreciprocated outpouring of love and
co mpass io n for the Palestinians on th e part
of th e international Jewish co mmunity:
According to th e Left, anti -Semitism
just doesn'r ex ist; o r it is just so marg inal
that it d oes not eve n need to be addressed.
The Left see ms unable to detect the antiSe miti s m in the Pales tini a n te rritori es
a nd in the res t of th e Arab a nd Muslim
wo rld , which is quite an acco mplishm e nt
co nsiderin g that the anti-Semitism is so
thick in th ese a reas that you ca n choke o n
it. This is what is propelling the Mid-East
co nfli ct, the Jew- hat red thar permeates eve ry
facet of Palestinian cul ture -- the ed ucatio nal
system, the media, th e
mosques, reinforced in th e hom e w here
martyrdom and jihad ate glorified. This is
a sign of a profoun d sickness in Palestinian
society and cu lture. The Left ca n continue
to keep its head in th e sa nd, but it will bring
it no closer to understanding the truth of
what fuels thi s con fli cr.
At the same time, th ere exists a tremendous o utpo urin g of love and compass ion
for th e Palestinian pt:ople o n th e part of
Israeli Jews and t he inte rnational Jew ish
co mmunity. T here are 14 million Jews in
the wo rld, a nd hundreds of thousands are
in o ne way or a noth er affili ated with one
of th ese leftist 'peace nik' gro ups. There are
lite rally dozens of th ese orga ni za tions: Jews
for J usti ce in Palestine, Jews for Social and
Eco no mi c Just ice, Jews for Human Rights,
erc., etc., etc., and th ey reac h hundred s of
thousa nds of
Jews, perhaps eve n millio ns. T his is rather
asto nishin g.
Now, th ere are 1.2 billion M uslim s in
the world , and lirtle to no peace move me nts
to spea k of. Furth er more, w h ere ate the
Arab-Ame ri can a nd Muslim intell ec ruals
and academ ics condem nin g th e Palestini a n
ca III paign of ge nocide aga i nst Israel i Jews
and th e attacks of 9/ 11 ) W h e re are th e
Arab-Ametica n a nd Muslim academi cs a nd
intel lec tuals issuing state men ts calling for
an e nd to Pales tinian terror attacks and th e
recog niti o n of the sta te of Israel?
Their sile nce is deafening. T he next

~ Introduction
Tripping on Reality
October 1, 2001, (Continued from last week);
Perhaps there is insight in a blissful experience with my deer friends this morning:
Winding my way up the forest path, I
approach the high meadow. War and forest
destruction weigh heavily on my shoulders.
I jump as my deer friend springs from the
bushes. Kneeling, I whisper, 'Tm sorry for
starding you, mother deer. You know I have
peaceful intentions. Please let me share this
space with you in the high meadow. We are
here for the same reason . It is too hard to
be in the garden today and so close to the
destruction m achines." I stand. Here the faint
murmut of "development" blends with the
hum of the bees and bird songs.
I notice the two fawn s with their mother.
They have grown so much since the last time
I saw them . When they were babies in spring,
I would often see them near the garden when
they came to feed. I marveled at their beauty,
and how much they grew from day to day
and week to week. In the past, they would
always bound away when they noticed me.
This time was different. This time I didn't feel
as ifI was looking at them through some sort
of glass wall. The veil separating the deer's
. consciousness and my own has fallen away.
Atop the grassy knoll we bathe in white light
and pure pigment.
I close my eyes and see my spirit expand
into a mint green sphere around my body.
My body becomes the nega tive space. The
deer e nte r m y sphere. Other an imals and
plants emerge as part of my being. "Surel y
that's not part of me ," I think as I noti ce
a machine like one of th e ones in the c1earcur. Irs grotesquely disfigured arm unearths
an atomic mushroom cloud. I watch th ese
images weave their intrica re web, destroying
and creating. Eventually th ese images grow
smaller and seat themselves in the back of
my hearr:' [ open my eyes. My deer friends
have moved closer to me. In the sky I see a
rainbow in a disconnected ring around the
sun . Ir looks like the rainbow is a smile with
two rainbow eyes, and the sun above and
between them.
I LOVE EARTH! But I destroy her, too.
Every time I paint a picture or take a poo , I
am causing that cty of destruction that hurts
me so deeply.
I drive a cat. Part of th e reason we are at war
is because our country has taken advantage
of many other countries, so that I can have
cheap oil and gas with which to drive. By my
choice to dtive a car, I support the injustice
of economic inequality in the world , not to
mention environmental destruction . In this
way, I am a terrorisr.
I can either hate what's happening outside
myself, and hate what's happening inside,
or I can find a way to make peace with the
dissonance. Each of us has parts within us
that helped to create the social, political, and
environmental crises. we have on our hands.
Only by acknowledging the destructive things
that we think, feel, say, and do, will we have
a hope of changing .
October 29, 2001
I want to ride my bike to sc hool today,
but Anna and Ge ne are d epe nding o n me
to give them a ride. Perhaps developers feel
th e same way when they are about to destroy
forests to build homes for peo ple. They don't
want to clear-cut, but people are depending
o n th em for homes. If they refus ed to cut
d own th e trees, I'm sure people would still
find a place to live. Maybe they would even
live with, or in, the trees . Well. I refuse ro
drive today. Anna and Ge ne will have to find
another way.

arrnacy
Pharmacy is an evolving profession . It has
felt dramatic effects in the twentieth century
with the development of specialized sciences
such as organic chemistry and biochemistry.
However, the largest factor of change in
pharmacy has come from the industrial
development of pharmaceutical manufacturmg.
Large-scale manufacturing altered pharmacy significantly. Until the 1900s, all
pharmacy labs were compounding labs.
Compounding all but disappeared between
1920 and 1980, but recently co mpounding
has been experie ncing a revival. Currently
pharmaceutical compounding is defined as
th e professional creation of an individual,
c us tomiz ed drug product by a licensed
pharmacist. A compounded drug can be
created only in the presence of, and in
accordance with, a physician's prescription .
Co mpounded prescription drugs are not
subject to individual FDA approval; they are
generally only governed by the laws of pharmacy. Due to the res urgence and restructuring
of pharmaceutical compounding, the laws
surrounding its use are unstable.
Pharmaceutical co mpounding is distinctly
different than pharmaceutical manufacturing,
and it is legally restricted from competing with
pharmaceutical manufacturing companies.
Medication ca nnot be compounded legall y
if it is co mm e rci all y avai lable. Prescribing
drugs rhat a re no longer manufactured is a
common way physicians utilize com pounding
pharmacy. Alrhough compo unding pharmacy
seems to be achieving m o re acceptance
within th e "natural medicine" philosop hy, the
principles are highly scientific, and the practice
is precise. Pharmace utical compounding can
be considered "altern at ive" only in th e fact
tha r it requires more direct engagement and
acrive participation by all parties in vo lved .
As a profess io n, co mpo undin g pharmacy
ac kn ow ledges a nd respects the triad: rh e
relati onship between pharmacisr, physician,
and patient. All must be prese nt ro he legal.
All must be active to succeed. The triad
is essential to customizing drug thera pies
to meet the specific needs of an individual
patient, not a group of people.
Pharmaceutical compounding fills a niche
in the world of healthcare. Compounded
products are specialty items serving specific
functions such as more appropriate dosage or
administration . For example, a child needs 50
milligrams (mg) of a medicine. That particular
medication is only manufactured in 400
mg tablets. A compounding pharmacist can
create a pleasant tasting, liquid preparation
of the exact dosage needed.
Compounded pharmaceuticals are as varied
as the patients who benefit from their use.
Some examples of vehicles for compounded
products are: capsules, pills, transderm al
creams, solutions, medicated lollipops, and
suppositories. Compounding has become
popular in veterinary medicine. A compounding pharmacist can make a medication taste
like a treat!
Other useful compounded medicines
include antibiotics, dermatological treatments,
topical medicines for dentistry and bioidentical hormone replace ment therapy.
The general public does not know about
pharmaceutical compounding. Many doc tors don 't know how to. make use of it in
their practi ces . Education a nd researc h is
para mount for continu ed success both medicall y and legally.
Pharmacy attracts practical and innovative
profess ionals. It has bee n my o bserva ti o n
that pharmacists, as c reat ive and se rvi ceoriented individuals, care for their clients. As
co mpounding pharmacists establish validity in
their products, it is likely th at manufacturing
co mpani es wi ll take on at least so me aspec ts
of producing them. Histori cally, it has been
observed th at the majority of epic experiments
a nd discoveries have occ urred in someone's
small pharmacy lab, where th e pracrition er
has builr a relati o nshi p with the patient, the
ph ysic ian a nd the products.
undersrand: boundaries make people safe.
Within th ese boundaries a professor needs ro
questi o n the ir ow n prejudices, whether they
blame ge nd ers, reli gio ns, wh ites, ig nora nce,
or eco nomi cs as the ca use of what is wro ng
in this world.
Stud e nts need to be me nto red a nd co rrec ted if the ir ass umpti ons arc incorrect.
T hi s is most impo rra nt fo r new stud e nts
to lea rn .
Everg ree n is not abo ut passive lea rning,
thi s is ' in -your-face' education. It is time to
deve lop a thi cker sk in , b u t not ca ll ousness,
mind yo u. Toughness is be in g ab le to take
th e crap that is thrown ar yo u, look at it
objectively, th e n see the path whne it came
from. Any pe rso n fronl a ny background is
go ing to need that to ugh laye r of skin to
protect them o nce rhey go into th e work ing
wo rld .
Th is comes back to Fear. Frank Herbert
c rea ted a litany aga in st fear, one I find
myself go ing back to in times of stress. It
is the '29 th Psa lm' of the Bene Gesse rit, a
female priesthood of en lighte ned women
from tht: books of Dune: " I must not fear.
Fear is th e min d -killer. Fear is the lirrl e
death that brings tota l ob li terat ion. I will
face my fear. I w ill pe rmit ir to pass over
me and th rough m e. And whe n ir has gone
pasr, I w ill turn the inn er eye to see irs
path . Where the fear has go ne th ere will be
nothin g. O nl y I wi ll rema in ."
Wit hout fear you ca n go inr o yo u r

stude n ts', e mor ions.

~~gP:ERIRRT Whoever told you Evergreen was
an easy college didn't know what they were
talking about ...
by Amy Loskota
I recently attended the open ing forum
for the' Day of Presence & Day of Absence'
eve nt. How d oes o ne talk about how one
really feels about th e sca ry iss ues of race,
ge nder, and religio n ) Yet di sc rimina tio n is
not always as visual as skin to ne. There is
th e fear 'o f confl ict, to maintain a happy
fa<;ade, eve n though o ur hear ts are hurtin g
w ith the words th at a re being said .
There was the idea that I a m a 'white'
perso n or thing that eve ryo ne kept co ntrasting with th e term 'pe rso n of co lor.' Well
yes, o n the color specrrum of skin ton e I a m
whiter th an mos t, in fact the on ly people
I know who are tnore white than me are
my mother and grandmother, a nd we get
whiter as we grow older.
But 'white' does not describ e m y culture
any more then yellow, brown , black, o r
'color' describes anyo ne else's culture.
Before Evergreen, I did .no t feel sh y
abo ut working and hanging out w ith differenr cultures and genders. After Evergreen, I
d eveloped a ove rwhelming feeling o f sham e,
eve n though prior I had grown up with
m ainly Latin, Asi an, a nd Native American
people as my classmates a nd co -worke rs.
There are deep things in side me, abo ut my

I have brought it upon myself to review
the top three new Jam Band CDs: Phil
Lesh and Friends, Moe, and Phish. It seems
2002 is the comeback year for Jam Bands,
not BackSyncBoysOn The Block. But are
these albums worth growing dreadlocks
for and then hittin' the road this summertour? Hopefully I can at least help you
decide which one to buy and which one
to download.
Moe Album: Wormwood
Wormwood, Moe.'s 13 th release, is
not the typical Jam Band release . Jam
Bands are usually known for their shitty
albums in comparison to their live shows.
Wormwood definitely breaks that cliche,
dishing out some very radio-friendly tracks.
It just sounds good, what Moe could I say!?
This album was partly recorded onstage
in a live atmosphere, then brought to
the studio to add vocals and other extra
goodies. The guitar playing is less choppy
then in the live shows and the vocals are
smooth, emulating a Ween-type vocal
sound .. Track 7--Crab Eyes--is definitely
a choice track that would have any Custy
dancing in no time . I give Wormwood
a 3.5
Phil Lesh and
Friends Album:
There and Back Again
The Grateful Dead have been dead for
8 years now; "Wow!" Who'd ever thought
it would end in the first place? I thought
they for sure had another ten years in
them! Well, since then Phil Lesh has been
very active, i.e. symphony work, different
band formations, revitalized old Dead hits
that the Dead didn't even play, had a liver
transplant, and released an all new album
(except for the one Jerry Bear cover).
If anything this guy gets the No Limit
Trooper award. Currently he is back with
the surviving members of The Grateful
Dead in a band called TheOtherOnes.
But just a few months before this band,
Phil was in a ,band called Phil Lesh and
Friends. TheOtherOnes did have a brief
existence in 1998-2000, but Phil Lesh
was in it for only a brief m~irient and
then replaced with Victor Wooten. Just
kidding, it was Alfonzo Johnson . Phil
Lesh and Friends changed a few times
until they found their solid team which
consisted of Rob Barraco (Zen Tricksters) ,
Jimmy Herring (Jazz is Dead), Warren
Haynes (The Allman Brothers), and John
Molo (Jazz is Dead).
This team was solid, so solid they
released an album. Most the songs have
been co-written with Robert Hunter, the
old Dead lyricist. It comes as a double
disk, one disk being a bonus live disc and
one being all new originals except for
Liberty, an old Jerry Garcia song. This
album is very good! It makes me Pheel
High. This album even has Michael Kang
from the String Cheese Incident playing

that Linkin Park has a couple good pop
songs. Knowing Ph ish's silly personality
(watch Bitter Sweet Hotel) , I can see them
thinking it would be funny to release

The album definitely has great moments

Spike Lee's latest film is a tremendous comeback from his previous feature
Bamboozled. It's clear here that he's more focused and tactful in directing this
story of a kind-hearted New Yorker spending his last day as a free man, before
doing a seven year sentence for selling drugs. His options are presented clearly
forth : he can run, kill himself or live out the sentence. He's no criminal, just a guy
who got mixed up with the wrong people at the wrong time. The man is played
by Edward Norton , an actor who conveys all the sadness and regret of a man
about to plunge into seven years of unknown hell, using only a quiet look on his
face. But there's a host of supporting characters who have their own problems as
well, and Lee pays attention to all of them: Rosario Dawson as his girlfriend; Brian
Cox as his regretful, blue-collar father; Barry Pepper as his high-stakes stockbroker
friend; and Phillip Seymour Hoffman as his other lifelong companion, a reserved
teacher with a crush on one of his students. Lee was shooting the film shortly
after September 11 th and it's abounding with visible allusions, which at times
distract the narrative (a scene where Norton hatefully curses every ethnic
and social group in New York is welcome but overlong and distracting.) Yet
Lee's biggest problem as a director is still with closure, and even though it's a
well shot, well edited film with great performances all around, it feels bogged
down by the unsatisfying ending showing Norron's possible fate. Ir is worth
seeing though.

Confessions marks the directorial debut of George Clooney and it's further
proof that his work is that of a man who is smart and serious about his craft, not
just another hunky TV persqnality. However, if he wishes to continue directing,

Chl1.;:k Barris, the pathetic sleazeball who started his career working backstage on
American Bandstand and eventually created shows like "The Dating Game" and
"The Gong Show." Barris claims he was contracted by a CIA agent (played, by
Clooney) to ,work as a global ~ss3{>siu, killing a total of33 people in his Wetiine,
doing so while accompanying couples on "The Newlywed Game" on their 'paid
honeymoons. Barris is played by Sam Rockwell (brilliantly, I think), as a man
who agrees with people who tell him that his programming caused "The Decline
of Western Civilization" and thinks killing for his government gives his life some
greater meaning. Drew Barrymore turns in fine work as Barris' flower-child
wife and Julia RobertS has some good scenes as Barris field contact (although
her tremendous celebrity status overshadows each character she plays) . Clooney
uses darkly drenched photography, detailed sets, color and lighting to create the
nightmarish underbelly of the late-sixties TV industry. Best of all, the film does n't
condone Barris's misdeeds, but still evokes sympathy.

Igby Goes Down
Joining the ranks of recent films like The Royal Tennenbaums that exist on
the razor's edge between comedy and tragedy, films that make you laugh and make
you feel guilty for laughing, is Igby Goes Down. The film is of such deadpan
wit and honesty, it's hard to believe how tragic and moving it can be. Igby is a
precocious teenager from an affluent Connecticut family who bounces around
parochial and military schools with unceasing apathy. With his dominating,
pill-popping mother (Susan Sarandon, not at her best) and young Republican
otder brother (Ryan Philippe, perfectly cast) on his case, and his misadventures
with his money-driven, high society godfather D.B (Jeff Goldblum, enjoying
himself), D.B.'s mistress (the talented Amanda Peet) and an older caterer's
assistant (Claire Daines), Igby is an upscale Holden Caulfield. He's played by
Kieran Culkin (Macaulay's brother, a real actor), who could easily have been
annoying but isn't. It's probably because director and screenwriter, Burr Steers,
gives him sardonically witty dialogue and Culkin makes it work. The film belongs
in the same vein with other recent movies (such as Ghost World and Donnie
Darko) which possess a smart, smirking, school-age disrespect for authority and
establishment, and although it has trouble finding it's footing at first, it's a film
of many darkly hilarious and truly moving moments.

Imagine the meanest, toughest, biggest
person you know running at you fult speed
with one purpose in mind: to run you into
the ground and steal your ball. Yes, this
may seem a little barbaric, but to a rugby
player this is just part of the game.
"It definitely takes a certain kind
of person to play rugby, " says Trevor
Anderson, head coach for The Evergreen
State College Women's team "The
Hellcatz."
Anderson, who has coached for six years
and is a member of the Budd Bay Rugby
Football Club in Olympia, has been a diehard player since his personal discovery of
the sport in Australia.
The game of rugby, which was developed by William Webb Ellis in IB23, has
infiltrated more than just international
lines lately, but various age groups, colleges
and clubs as well. While it originally was
derived from soccer at an all-boys' school
in Rugby, England, the sport is now being
played worldwide by men and women,
young and old.
Though many are playing the game,
it is not for the weary. With BO-minute
games, no timeouts and relentless aggressive
physical contact, those who play the game
long term are truly special. "It definitely
takes a certain kind of person to play,"
attests Anderson.
Many ruggers, including 20 year-old
Katie Stassen of Olympia, believe that
rugby is almost infectious in its jagged
charm and will continue to win over players
throughout the land. "I've played almost
all other sports and there is nothing like
rugbr.~ she says.
This game. as chaotic as it seems, is
not based on strength alone, but strategy
as well. With 15 pliyers Ioa side, communication, practice and a high tolerance

Here's some definitions to help you out:
HOOKER: Forward position who kicks ball back to serum for possession.
MAUL: Formation of players around the player with the ball, not brought to ground.
SeRUM: A way to restart play where a bound group of players forms a tunnel with the opposition.
PROP: Position in the serum, "propping" the hooker, to gain possession of ball.
RUCK: Ball-winning activity, following a tackle and release.
RUGGER: A rugby player.

Lately, there has been more of a spotlight
put on rugby, especially the growing
popularity surrounding women players.
"Being in sports makes (women) see
their strength ... its important for women
to have that sense of strength," says
Christiansen . "Rugby has been really
empowering for me."
From a coaching standpoint, Anderson
says, "Girls work well together on and off
the field, and are more coachable... women's
rugby should be, in some sense,
exploited."
The sport is currently played in more
than 100 countries and, in the U.S alone,
there are more than 100,000 players. The
International Rugby Football Board (IRFB)
oversees rules and organizations from their

Warriors Cruise Past Geoducks
Turnovers destroy Evergreen's chances
bijIlBJiiri Jones
SALEM, Ore. - The more turnovers
you have in a game. the less chance you
have to win . On Saturday the Geoducks
surrendered the ball back to the Western
Baptist Warriors 29 times en-route to a
22-point loss 69-47.
From the tip-off it didn't look good for
the women's basketball team at Evergreen
(0-15 conference, 3-24 overall), as the
Warriors (7-7 conference, 11-13 overall)
. jumped out to an early double digit lead.
The Warrior defense held the Geoducks
to just 30% shooting in the first half, as
Evergreen converted only B of 26 field
goal attempts. On the other hand, the
Warriors knocked down 57% (16-2B) of
their tries and built a comfortable 37-17
point lead by halftime.
During the second half, Evergreen
stepped up their game, playing relatively
even with the Warriors, but based on the
Geoducks' first half performance, it had
little, effect on the outcome.
For the game, Western Baptist had 23
turnovers of their own. Unfortunately,
Evergreen was unable capitalize on the
Warriors mistake the way Western capitalized on Evergreen's.
Evergreen shot 35% from the field for
the game going IB- 51, while the Warriors
knocked down 2B of their 51 attempts
for 54%.
