When I arrived in Sylvester Park on
Saturday, February 15, for the anti-war
demonstration, I was pleasantly surprised
by the size of the crowd. Ten minutes early,
and already there were seve ral hundred
peo ple there . Some had climbed into a
tree to watch the speakers, who began just
after 2 p.m.
At the climax of the first speech, Larry
Mosqueda, an Evergreen State College
faculry member, proclaimed,
"Remember, we are the majority, and
we are growing in Olympia and around
rhe world!"
Ta king a closer loo k at the peopl e
arou nd me, I can see th at this majority is
11 0 sin gle-issue crowd. Some of th e signs
decry US energy policy, some address the
iss ue of war, others refer to specific foreign
policy issues.
T he speakers each had their own take
o n the anti-war iss ue as well. Theresa
Saliba, also an Evergreen facu lry member,
focllsed on "the war at home," emphasizing
~ verything from the unfair treatment of
vi sitors and immigrants by US feder al
agencies to local cases of discrimination .
Jeff Johnson of the AFL-CIO estimated
that tens of thousands of trade unionists
are opposed to the war in the state of
Washington alone. He denounced Bush's
economic policies, and said that Bush
had "declared war on trade unionists" by
privatizing many industries and denying
th e right to organize to others.
"He has no sense of hisrory, he has no
sense of justice, and he has no sense of
right and wrong," Johnson thundered. The
crowd yelled in approval.
Most of the speakers were careful to
distinguish between anti-war demonstration and "anti-troop" sentiment, voicing
an opinion seen on several of the signs:
basically, that war is bad for soldiers, too.
r spent severa l minutes wandering
through the crowd, reading the signs and
peering into people's faces, trying to capture
the essence of the event.
Simona Sharoni, an organizer for
Un ited for Peace T hurston County, asked
for a show of hands from first-time protesters. I saw nearly a third of the crowd-timidly at first, then more confidently-raise
their hands.
"Thanks to all of you who are new,"
she cheered. "We need you!" .
As the c rowd moved out onto
Washington Street to. march to the Capitol,
I stayed on the sidewalk, following alongside
TESC

Address Service Requested
the march. r was trying to document this
huge event, to get down in words what was
going on- here and around the world-in
terms of signs, shouts, faces, and overheard
conversations.
"Money for houses, not for war! Money
for healthcare, not for war! Money for
schools, not for war! Money for welfare,
not for war!"
Only a few dozen people were chanting, and r didn't feel particularly compelled
to join in. I was trying to remain apart.
I was trying to build a clear picture. I
was not there to protest; I was there to
report.
Over two thousand people- by most
estimates-surged up Capitol Way to the
beat of the peace drums, and I trailed along
the sidewalk. All of a sudden, r looked
up and saw that the sidewalk ended at a
constrliction site. I paused for a moment,
facing a chain link fence , and considered
the implications. r could stay where I was,
with a commanding view of the crowd as
it passed me by, or I could move forward
with it.
I stepped into the street and continued
on to the Capitol. surro unded by people
shouting, singing and waving signs.

by Anay Cochran
This is what the 60's radicals reminisce
about. This is what they mean when they
say, "I was there. Protesting Vietnam. r
was in the streets."
That's where we are now. Walking in
between parked cars. The white lines on the
road to guide traffic have become meaningless . The stoplights have too. Traffic
is backed up, held in place by decidedly
cooperarive Olympia police.
I wish I could convey it - the smell of
asphalt in the rain, the slow bur cheerful
pace of the march, the feeling of being just
a little lower, elevation-wise, than a rypical
day on the sidewalk. The best I can do
is in the streets.
The march started in Sylvester Park.
The demographics are amazing. C hildren

Things Between

F.
Things Between is an original theatrical
work . The material was co llaboratively
generated and developed by a core group
of six artists, four of which are students at
The Evergree n State College. The proj ect
bega n in the spring of 2002 and the group
has worked toge th er intensively for almost
five months. Inspired by the ideas of New
Yo rk direcwr Anne Bogan , the grou p has
used the movement theo ry "View points" as
th e basis for th e creation of the work.
The creative process allowed for man y
different styles and modes of express ion,
which have bee n woven inro the performance. The first eight weeks of rehearsal
were spent perfec ting th e process and
es tabli shin g a vocabulary w ith which
to discuss th e work . T he generation of
co mposition pieces formed the co re of
the process. Performers spent a speci fied
amo unt of time, usually 20 to 30 minutes,
creat in g a short performance piece with
specific guidelines given by the director. The
director then wo rked with the performers
ro develop th e ideas, story elements, text or
movements th at were strongest in th e piece.
Over sixty composi ti on pi eces were created
in eight weeks . The group sy nth es ized
this material with independent research ,
writing and other creative work into a larger
story. This story was developed furth er
in rehea rsal, along with the dialogue, the
characters, and their environment.
Things Between is a play about five peo ple
who share one space. It is about vio lence
and ca rin g. It is abou t fea r and rou ch. It is
abo ut a small, isolated rn cidence of human
interac ti on, as well as rhe ma tu ration of

State May Stick It to Students that Stick Around
bY Erica Nelson
A bill that proposes to charge "lingering students" extra money is now in the
legislature. If passed, a resident Evergreen
student that has more than 120 percent
of the credits required to complete their
degree would have to pay much more
for school--perhaps about $5,000 more
(according to recent state figures),
The bill states that the "lingering"
student would pay the full cost of their
instruction. Currently, in-state tuition
pays less than half of the total cost of
educating a student. The state kicks in
the rest.
Community and technical college
studen [s who take more classes would
have [0 pay more for their tuition, too,
but only when they reach 150 percent
Why
'l.,
•
there are,
of their required credits. Out-of-state
students would have to pay twice their
full-cost instruction, thereby subsidizing
another student.
The background text of the bill stai:es:
"Proponents of such a policy say that
'lingering students are expensive to the
state because they take so many courses
and occupy spaces that other students
need.'"
A number of exceptions to the penalty
fee are mentioned. Students with credit
earned at other private or out-of-state
institutions would not be subject. Neither
would students in workforce training,
double-degrees or teachers in continuing
education.
Students that didn't fit into any these
categories could appeal the extra charges
by petitioning the school and paying a
$50 fee,
Similar "surcharges" for students that
stick around are imposed by various states
across the U.S. North Carolina passed
theirs in 1994. It requires a 25 percent
tuition surcharge. In Utah, resident
students with over 150 percent of their
credits toward a SA have to pay tuition
equal to that of non-residents, Florida
also has a similar policy,
Linda Mewhirter is a student at
Evergreen who is graduating this year
and thinking about staying in schooL
She needs more credits in certain areas to
get into a Masters In Teaching program,
Mewhirter also says that going to school
is "a better way of life than going out and
trying to find a job."
Federal financial aid is what pays her
tuition bills. If she was charged more, she
could not afford to stay in school.
"If somebody really wants to go to
school and that's their dream, then there
shouldn't be any reason why they shouldn't
go," she said.

Super p,ower vs. Superpower
Those who question the awesome
strength of the growing anti-war movement
would do well to reconsider their stance,
as even the New York Times has conceded
"that there may still be two superpowers
on the planet: the United States and world
public opinion" (see A New Power in the
Streets, Feb 16.) This weekend, literally,
saw tens-of-millions take co the streets to
denounce the Bush Regime's plan to invade
and militarily occupy a sovereign nation.
Not surprisingly the largest protests took
place in countries that 'support' the US
impatience with weapons inspectors, the
United Nations , and international law in
general. Italy who, under the iron fist
of ultra-right-wing President Berlusconi,
has all allied themselves with the US saw
between one and three million out in the
streets. Meanwhile Britain, which has went
so far as to plagiarize and fabricate a report
in order ' co show its support of the US,
saw 750,000 protesters (0 one million in
London.
Meanwhile communities across the
globe came together in a way that might
be historically unprecedented. Even our
hometowns, Olympia and Seattle, saw 3,000
and 40,000 people, respectively.
Some cynics remain unimpressed, but it
appears that even the Bush Regime seems
to have taken some note of the emerging
"superpower." The New York Times reports
that the "senior Bush administration officials
are for the first time openly discussing a
Alaska Field Studies Program to Focus on Backcountry

subject they have sidestepped during the
buildup of forces around Iraq: what could
go wrong, and not only during an attack
but also in the aftermath of an invasion."
Ahhough a definitive connection cannot be
made just yet, the loud calls for boycotts this
weekend across the globe certainly couldn't
have fallen on deaf ears.
Keeping the Peace Movement United
Now that the people of the world have
spoken how can we organize and what can
we do to ensure that the movement stays
united and keeps moving? How do we keep
our "superpower" status?
Our short-term and long-term goals must
be clear and we must continue to support
the brave folks who have sacrificed much
of their non-working hours to educating,
organizing, and mobilizing millions of
people. However, there is bound ro be minor
internal struggle within the movement.
How can we keep this to a minimum?
In the first place, we cannot be reactionary. Even such fine and decent writers as
Molly Ivins have recently fallen into the
cynical, reactionary trap. In a recent piece
she writes, "And for a final piece of bad
news to complete your day, the antiwar
movement has disgraced itself by refusing
to allow Michael Lerner, the editor of the
intelligent (and very liberal) Jewish magazine
TIkkun, to speak at the San Francisco peace
rally this Sunday. Lerner was blackballed by
the most left wing of the four sponsoring
peace groups; something called ANSWER,
for being 'pro-Israel.'"
This bit of Molly Ivins's was surely taken
from a factually inaccurate and manipulative
piece of propaganda written by right-wing
Nation editor David Corn and published
in the Nation and on commondreams.org.
Corn's claim that Lerner was "blackballed"
for being "Pro-Israel" and "banned" from
the rally by ANSWER, who used their
"veto power," is entirely fabricated. Even
Corn himself admits that what actually
happened was that the groups organizing the
protest decided that any individual that bad
mouthed any of the groups in public would
not be invited to speak. The representatives
of the four groups decided collectively not
to have Michael Lerner speak because he
had slandered International Answer. Lerner
was never "dis-invited." In fact, on that
day, two rabbis, David Cooper and Pam
Frydman-Baugh, both of whose views are
si'milar to those of Michael Lerner, were
scheduled co speak.
Those who follow Corn's criticisms know
that he has a much more open political
agenda. Most of his criticisms of ANSWER
revolve around the fact that ANSWER
believes nations should have a right to
sovereignty and consequently support
leaders such as Fidel Castro. At the very
core Corn's criticisms resemble 50s style
McCarthy red-baiting.
He even goes so far as to claim that
ANSWER is a front group for the Worker's
World Party, a slogan which has been
adopted by many 'left-wing' writers. This is
flat out false, given that many other groups
and individuals serve active roles or have
co-sponsored the group, including Pastors
lifBen SbaLO,.C<e'--_ _______
for Peace and Howard Zinno
At the risk of sounding too speculative,
I will simply mention in passing that most
of the people criticizing International
ANSWER are white upper class or ruling
class people, whereas ANSWER strives to
have diversity within the movement. Might
it be that these smug white writers are not
quite ready to yield their power to women
of color? Might it be that they got scared
seeing powerful black women and Arabs
leading the movement and speaking out at
rallies against racism and privilege?
Anyhow, the point here is that the antiwar movement· h~ to be on guard against
propaganda and this involves being certain
and well-informed; . not reactionary in our
writing and speaking.,
A last suggestion is· that we keep open
minds and allow a diversity of opinions
and strategies. No evidence suggests that
the revolution is coming tomorrow. Let us
welcome new folks into our movement even
if their 'critique of capitalism' is not as sharp
as ours, or if they seem naive about certain
politica.1 issues. This will be a long hard
struggle against racism, sexism, ecological
destruction, inequality, and many more
problems. The trick is to realize we are
up against a formidable opponent. We
are not the only superpower, yet. But, if
with stay united, like Goliath, they will
be conquered.

fe deral. stale.a nd lo cal conservalion and
recreation programs."
In addi tion , Secretary Norton highlighted
proposed spen ding for a dozen impon ant
pro jec ls in Mt. Rainier and Olympic National
Parks, an d $H million for th e U.S. Fish and
\XIikllire Service's fish ~ alcheri es program.
But not everyone agrees with her rosy
interpretation of the Pr esi dent's budget
figures.
"There's a lot of creative accou nting
h er~," sa id David Atcheson of th e Cascad es
Conservation Partncrs hip, a coalition of
enviro nmental a nd conservation gro up s.
" Jt's mostly a maller of reclassifying existing
ilems." Atcheson sa id that, in facr, the lin e
item in the 2004 budget for land acquisition
in th e cri ticall y important cemra l Cascade
Mountains is at zero.
"The President is playing a shell game in his
budget by pUlling ot her conservation-related
expendi tures under the LWCF headi ng. He
is pretending that he is fully funding LWCF,
w hen in fact he's cutting la nd acquisition
funding, the backbone of LWCF, by over
65%," Mitch Friedman of th e Co nse rvati o n
Partnership's sleeri ng comminee sa id in a
sla tement made in conjunction with th e vis it
by Secrelary Norton. The statement further
contradicts Norto n's claims by pointing to
money for Forcst Service land acqui sition , a
portion of the LWCF which received $158
million this year, but is slated for only $26
million in the new budget .
Congress man Adam Smith, whose district
includ es the Nisqually Refuge, agrees.
"Thc Preside nt 's new budgel moves numbers aro und and counts them in new and
cxci1ing ways:' said Katharine Lister, Smith's
commu nicatio ns direclOr. She said that while
Rep. Sm irh had not had rime ro become
fully familiar with sp ecific proposals (or
~o nservatio n items, "t his budget is deceptive
across the boa rd ."
She also po inted out lhat President Bush's
proposal ro spend $ 1. 2 billion on hydrogen
fuel ce ll re.,earch for non -polluling automohiles comes al the expense of research for other
renewable energy sou rces. In add itio n, suc h
projects, she said, "arc slill funded well below
the levels of fossil fuel researc h."
Congress man Sm ith is not th e on ly o ne
qu es ti o ning President Bush's stance on the
env iron men t. During a question-and-answer
period following her speech, Sec retary Norton
was asked about drilling for oil in the Arctic
National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR). She
responded , "\)(lith in c reasing concern about
foreign oil dependency, we must continue to
look at ANWR as a possibility."
She further cited ANWR as "one of th e
most environm ent a ll y appropri ate places lO
drill. " Sh e sa id th at new technol ogy cou ld
be used which leaves no eq uipm ent on th e
surface, and that all roads would be ice roads.
which sh e a lso claimed ha~e littl e impact
on the land.
And when asked about Presidenl Bush's
intenlions for the national forests, Nonon
noted the need for balance belween co nserval ion and other uscs of public timberlands.
"We must restore balance lO lhe
Northwesr's fo're st; hy increasing timber
production," she sa id, a prescriplion for
balance sharply at odds with rhe viewpoint of
most environme ntal groups. For lhem, ir may
take far more than creat ive number shuffling
to turn Ga le Norton and Geo rge W. Bush
into fr iends of the environment.

UCTURIHALL 4- WIDHlSDAY, HB.RUARY 26,2003
Michigan - Later thi s year, the United
S lates Suprem e Co un will rule on a case
tin' wi ll have unprecedented impact on rh e
admissions policies of instilutions of higher
education. This verdict will be the first in 25
years to directly address minority admiss ions
of cn lleges on a nat ional level.
On December 3, J99 7, Barbara Grutter,
a Caucasian applicant to the UniversilY of
Michigan Law School, filed suit against the
presidenl of the University of Michigan, Lee
Bol inger, and th e school as a whole. Gruner
c1ai III cd that thc schoo ls admissions policy
gave stud e nts from "favo red raci al groups"
a sign ifi ca nt advantage over students from
"d isfavored racial gro up s'· with otherwise
sim ilar credentials. G runer also believed lhat
race was a predolllinanr facto r in determining
adm iss ion. She all eged that lhis was in direct
vio latio n of her Fourteenth Amendment right,
which guarantees her "equal protection under
l he laws" and was also in violation of a federal
Slalute prohibiting ra cial discrimination by
instilulions rece iving federal funds . The law
schon I admilled in the ir response that w hil e
race was a factor in admissions, it was on ly a
sma ll p3rt of a wide array of qualifications that
were indi vidu all y taken into consi d eration .
The scho o l believes lhat racial di vers ity in
the classroom is an educational necess ity.
In rh eir admiss ion s policy, the university
hopes to achieve a "cri ri calm 3ss" of sl ud en ls.
Erica Munzel, th e Dean of Admissions from
1998 to present, defined critical mass as "the
number rhat is suffic iem so that minority
students can contribute to cl assroom di alogue
without feeling isolared." She went on to sa y,
"There must be more than a 'toke n' number
of minority stud ents."
The co~cept of racial eq uality is one that
reaches deep into the history of this country.
I believe that to achieve this goa l co ncess ions
must be m ade to correct the civil hindrances
put o n min o riti es in the past. As Lyndon
B. Johnso n sa id in 1965: "You d o not take
a man who for years ha s been hobbl ed by
chains, liberate him , bring him to the start ing
line of a race saying, 'You arc free lO compete
wilh all the others,' and slill believe you have
been fair."
Over the course of the las t century, this
counlry has taken many steps forward in
uniting the people of all races and ethnic
origins. Here we stand on the verge of a
decision whose ou tcome cou ld take us as
far back as th e 19605, when vio lence and
soc ial tension regardi n g these issues was
commonp lace.
As a lI ew st ud ent at Eve rgreen , I enroll ed
in a class pertaining directly to law and c ivil
rights. I expected that I would be met with a
class filled with more that just geographical
diversity, I was disappointed to find that other
than o ne person, the class is totally homo geneous. As a college student, I feel I have ,
in a way, been deprived of an opportunity
to learn abou t other cultures in relation to
thi s cont roversial topic. I believe it to be
the in stitution's obligation to ensure that
the school ad mits students of varying ethnic
backgrounds so that every student can benefit
from each other's experience and perspective.
I don't believe that th ese means can be
achieved through the placement of quota
syste ms (systems with a percentage of seats
set aside for a cenain group of people), which
were deemed illegal by a 1978 Supreme Court
verdi ct. I do , however, believe that meril
should be awa rded on the basis ethnic origin ,
socio-econom ic status, or any other criteria
rhat would contrib ute to the selectio n of a
diverse university population.
The Universiry of Michigan uses a syste m
whi ch awa rds points based on the diversity a
stud ent can bring to the college as a who le.
These points, however, are n ot awarded for
race spec ifica lly. They can be given for a
the coo'p erp.oirit.journal .
number of differenl crite ri a to slud ents of
any ongln.
It is apparent lhat this is a compn·hensive
and meticulous system in which lhuusands
of applications arc individually taken in to
accoun t, not so lely based o n LSAT scores
and UGPA (Undergraduate Grade Point
Average), which white males have been shown
to average considerably higher. The University
of Michigan has taken a responsibl e Slan ce on
the issue of racial diversity in educat io n .
Al; Americans: we sta nd on the brink of
hisrory. This year, the Supreme Court will rul e
on this issue. Most of the members have been
nom inated by conservative administrations
that do not suppo rt affirmalive aClion. I urge
you not to stand on the si delines, as your very
ed ucation could become victim.
If you would like to su pp ort affirmalive
aClion in education, there are seve ral aC li vi li es

.aqua:r·~tis·"
GTA 4 Review
b}/,7erry Chiang
by Mike·Treadwell
As I was writing th is review, a cable
channel was broadcasting Rush Hour. The
movie uiggered an epiphany; Jackie Chan
is so goddamn charismatic that no one can
ever get tired of him throwing punches
and high kicks left and righr. It also made
me realize that Jackie Chan has been able
ro achieve so much success on this side of
the Pacific because of his particular brand
of buddy action comedy. In his particular
brand, Chan wows the crowd with his
kung-fu acrobatics, while his partner, who
is fluent in English, does the jive talking. In
Shanghai Knights, Jackie Chan pairs up with
Owen Wilson and succeeds in recreating the
magic that made its predecessor, Shanghai
Noon, such a delight.
In this second installment , Chan's
chat acter, Chon Wang (pronounced John
Wayne,) is determined to find his father's
murderer. According to Wang's sister, Linn,
played by the Singaporean actress-singer
Fann Wong, the murderer is somewhere in
jolly old England. Wang finds his buddy Roy
O'Bannon, played by the barely comedic
Wilson, and they set out to solve the murder
mystery.
I found the plot of this film to be
ludicrous at best, but that is to be expected
because Jackie Chan movies don't have
thought-provoking plots. The plots are
merely excuses for Chan to show off his
martial arts and death defying stunts,
B~wlingFor
which he still does personally. The plot of
Shanghai Noon disintegrates quickly into
a series of loosely connected events, but
the action picks up the slack immediately.
Clearly, Jackie Chan's fight scenes, which are
delicately and energetically choreographed
with the effortlessness of ballot dancers,
prevent this film from becoming a disastrous
sequel. His fight scenes are captivating,
and the fact that he's pushing close to
50 hasn't slowed him down one bit. Let's
be honest, people pay to see Jackie Chan
movies because they want to see some ass
kicking.
Owen Wilson's sole purpose in the film
is to fill the transitional scenes from one
fight scene to the next with semi-humorous
dialogues and wisecracks. Wilson's jokes will
induce robust guffaws in people under age
13, but for the rest of us, they will invoke
some light chuckles or even exasperated
grunts. His best jokes poke fun at England
and the fact that it lost the Revolutionary
War to America (come on, that shit isn't
ha-ha funny). The fact that Wilson may
not be as hilarious as Chris Tucker from
the Rush Hour series is not entirely his own
fault; blame it on the writers. Wilson is
nonetheless enjoyable because his on-screen
chemistry with Chan is sincerely genuine,
and in the buddy action genre, the team
chemistry can make or break a fdm. Wilson
is best recognized for his humorous roles
in off-kilter comedies like Bottk Rocket or
The Royal Tennenbaums, so even if Wilson
had employed his functional comedic
tricks, they would have been too subtle
for Shanghai Knights.
.. Fortunately, Chan makes up for the
lack of real comedy through his action
sequences. Chan, besides his ass-kicking
expertise, is also known and loved for his
physical comedy. The fight scenes, in and
of themselves, feature comedic elements.
The other enjoyable quality of this film is
its slew of historical characters. Sir Arthur
Conan Doyle temporarily becomes Chan
& Co.'s sidekick, the Dickensian Charlie
Chaplin causes rorment and saves the day
at a crucial point, and Jack the Ripper
drops by and gets a beating, appropriately,
from Linn. These historical anachronisms
add much needed comedic relief.
Overall, this film has its share of
incoherence and comedic mishaps, but
Chan characteristically salvages it and
provides the audience with great entertainment. While Shanghai Knights won't make
you think like The Hours or cry like Far
from Heaven, it will give you ample action
for your movie seeing dollar to make this
a worthwhile affair.
Columbine
Unfortunately, those filmgoers unfamiliar with Michael' Moore's career as a satirist, blue-collar provocateur, and fighter for the
proletariat against the many evildoing, soulless corporations, will find his latest film, Bowling For Columbine, strident and unsubtle
grandstanding. At times, his targets are a bit too easy, his methods a little mean-spirited and his expression of politics an all too
over-simplified "good vs. evil" morality play. That said, one has to give credit to Moore's bold approach and his consistency in
pushing the boundaries of good taste. His Bowling is wonderfully provocative examination of the wholesale American violence
which we are so obsessed with. What makes this film more interesting thnt his similar previous films like Rogrr and Me and The
Big One is that Moore seems unsure of exactly who the bad guys are. He explores why we are so in love with guns, why we lead the
world in gun-related deaths, why Columbine happened, why Charlton Heston (who can't be held accountable, coming across as a
fool in an interview) and his army of gun nuts spoke in Littleton one week after the shootings, why people leave their doors unlocked
in Canada, why a bank would hand ou~ free guns, and why we are "a culture of fear" (overlooked however, is why Moore himself has
been a lifetime NRA me~ber). By now, Moore has become a kind of anti-establishment raconteur, using his juxtapositional editing,
ironic music selection and glib sarcasm ro give his films a kind of dizzy power. Hilarious and terrifying.

How to Lose a Guy in '10 Days
Should your root canal appointment get canceled and you find yourself in need of an experience of equal pain, How to Lose a
to see on Valentine's Day, is a color-by-numbers re-re-reenactment of practically
eve ry cliche in the book on romantic comedies. It stars Matthew McConaughey and Kate Hudson who are both very bright-eyed,
energetic, good-looking actors but have fallen prey to a script so contrived and predictable that if you have any sense of shame, will
have you checking your watch every five minutes to see when it's going to be over. It's that bad. It is yet another film where men
and women make cruel bets on their relationships. When will this stop being used as a plot device? It has not once made for a
good srory. Is this all well-to-do, white, working city people can think to do is to play these shallow, superficial games of cruelty and
deception with people they fall in love with? And what about this is supposed ro be so funny? The bet in this film is so weak that
another bet was thrown in to make up for it. As Hudson, a writer for a woman's magazine (a sorry knock-off of Cosmopolitan),
writes about meeting a guy, intending to ensure his breakup in the aforementioned amount of time with little annoyances that are
supposed to be cute, ad exec McConaughey (magically using the same deadline and speaking with an accent which sounds like
one part Doc Holliday and two parts Jim Garrison) bets he can get a lover to bring to a ball so he can get his superiors to listen to
his pitch on a diamond campaign. All the elements are here: the "meet cute" between the two leads; the off-the-wall comic relief .
friends; the gallery of perfunctory supporting characters the movie could care less about; the eventual revealing of the secret which
results in the great misunderstanding where everyone feels bad, and finally, the even cornier resolution thanks to a deus ex machina
so perfectly fitting for these paper-thin excuses for characters.

CDReviewb~
Annjeanette Daubert
Bridget Cote handed this CD off to me
at the last CP] general meeting. (Which if
you haven't been and are interested in the
underpinnings of this renewed student
publication, you may consider dropping
into one maybe if just for the sake of
saying hello to Bridget? Ie's up to you.) In
spite of a very busy last week, I popped
this one in and was tickled! Yes tickled and
a bit touched, and not in a full on dirty
way like say LL Cool] has (and yes, this
lady does love the monsieur.) The music
isn't the clean, ultra mixed, practically
pureed sound of the "rock-couture"
scene these days or even the faux garage
minimalist sound that the Hives and
Strokes have groomed. Eclectic, eccentric,
and common: on track one, the country
folk guitar and vocal sounds mix with
sampling from LL Cool J's work, reminding me of my Casio Keyboard. "The
Radio Works Fine" warms me up for the
political. savvy of the ballad.
The production is well thought out,
tracks are coupled well to balance mellow
with tart offerings. This way, I am not
hanging my head out the window screaming "I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE!"
Nor is it so political and particularist
that I am sitting wondering, "What the
hell did I miss in the alternative news
that I can't understand this?!" Or in other
words, "It don't make me feel stupid."
Of my favorites, "I Got My E-mail Cut
Off" reminds me of the yesteryear when
one could not rely upon the Evergreen
Elwha system. Track 2, "Gorilla," with a
plaintive vocalist and emotive cello remind
me of Louis Attaque. The experimental
vocals bring the music closer to human
noise, instead of the higher, less attainable or aloof stylings of the MTV Diva
class, which I believe equates to male eye ·
candy despite t~e feminine word .. In a
human expression about the inconstance
of technology, The Long Ride Home
entertains as it dialogues in the tradition of
country folk music genre. But I wouldn't
necessarily buy into the classification of
the CD, save what the Sandman team has
dubbed it. I'd say it is of the genre "I like
it!" It reminds me of the art house and
street corner, refusing. to be relegated ro
the stereotypical packaging of the fatted
US music industry. Not that I am jaded
or anything... oh yeah, that's righ~. "In
the morning when I rise/ Angels.open up
my eyes and let ,me know that stuff ain't
real just how I feel...just feel!" (Track 14

Oh man, if you don't have Grand TheftAuto
4 and you own a Playstation 2, I recommend
that you get one. This game is the shit.
GTA 3 was the one game that brought the
Grand Theft Auto series into the standard that
we expect of video games today. You steal
eHS, go on missions from gangs and mafias,
get insane weapons. and you keep finding
new things to do.
GTA 4 is all that and another step further.
The game is an odd European interpretation
of 1980's A merica modeled after the television
show Miami Vice. In GTA 4, yo u have an
awesome scenario: "Vice C ity". You can do
jobs for the gangs. mobs, vigilantes, etc., but
if you play the way I do, all you'll want to
do is steal cars, listen to VROCK and do a
d rive by shooting.
In GTA 4, the cars you can sreal are great
(incl udin g ambulances and cop cars.) The
improveme nt in four over GTA 3 is that you
ca n steal scooters (mopeds.) really cool motor
cycles . and - ge t th is - you can steal a golf
carl too.
The weapons are as good as in GTA 3, the
only problem being that you can't have all the
weapons at the same time. You can have a gatrling gun, assault rifle, Uzi (sub machine gun,)
CHAINSAW (!!!!,) samurai sword, sniper rifle,
.45 Magnum, shotgun, rocket launcher, and
YOU CAN EVEN USE A SCREWDRIVER
AS A WEAPON!!
The game features radio stations that play
great (and crappy) 1980's music. Run DMC
:lnd other pre-1987 stuff'can be found on
a radio stati0n, but· my personal favorite
is VROCK. On VROCK they play heavy
metal/thrash metal. The songs they play
include Megadeth's "Peace Sells," Slayer's
" R:lining Blood," Anthrax's "Madhouse," and
terrible old Van Halen , Iron Maiden stuff.
In GTA 4, you can also do more than
just break the law. You can go to clubs, do
missions, or drive off some great jumps. The
game also features famous actors playing
characters in the game. For example, Steve
Scott is Dennis Hopper and Tommy Vercetti
is Ray Liotta.
Bottom Line: Buy it and then fantasize
abom breaking the law, stealing cars and hurting cops. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
Area Hippie

Where He Is

bY Lee Kepra/Os
Recovering from the effects of a massive pot session the previous night, area
hippy Jason McNary forgot just where it
was he was going last Monday. "I know
I was going somewhere on campus but
I just can't seem ro remember where,"
the dreadlocked 20-year-old Evergreen
resident stated. ") hate when this shit
happens, man . I start on my way ro
go take care of some minor thing, end
up forgetting where I'm going and I
wind up i.n the middle of nowhere with
nothing but a clouded memory."
As he drew a pack of American Spirit
cigarettes from his pocket and proceeded
to put one in his mouth and light it,
the grungy young man speculated on
his mind-boggling experience that day.
"1 know I was going somewhere on
campus. Nor one of the housing buildings. I think I was going to the CAB to
buy some stamps so I could finally mail
some shit to my friend Tim in Portland.
Or no ... 'cause I did that the day before
that. Maybe I was going to the library
to check our this book I needed for class
on the increasingly damaged ecosystems
of the Florida everglades. No ... that's not
it either. Man, this sucks ass." He then
proceeded to take a swig from his bottle
of strawberry-kiwi flavored Fruitopia.
"It's not like my life is complicated
enough for me to be forgeningwhere I'm
headed all the time," said a befuddled
McNary, who admits that normally the
better part of his days are spent alone
at home, perusing a three year-old issue
of Mother Jones Magazine under the
flickering half-life of a cruelty-free,
handmade, Mayberry-scented beeswax

nursery before crawling under hi s
unbleached burlap sheets for the unsatisfying solace of a self-rolled joint made
from his own well-guarded supply of
what he calls "nature's own home-grown
dream plant. "
"McNary's always forgettin g shit,"
said one of Brisrow's roommates who
declined from hav ing hi s name men tioned. "I'm always hav ing to remind
him about his dishes in the sink or
about returning the calls) take for him
when he's not around. I'm not surprised
he forgot where he was going. If you ask
me, I think he smokes too much weed. I
don't mess with that junk. It's not good
for you." He then took a massive gulp
from a bottle oflemon-flavored gin that
he had in his hand.
"I think I was going to the H.C.C.,"
McNaty mused as he scratched his right
leg through his faded , tattered, patched
up, corduroy pants. "I remember needing something at the store and I might
have wanted to only check if they were
open. It was kinda early. I totally still
can't remember." McNary claims this is
not the first time he had such an ordeal.
He recalls getting up oue of bed one
night and going to the kitchen but once
there, he forgot what he needed.
Another instance of forgetfulness
occurred when he set off into downrown Olympia to buy a present for
his mother's birthday. Upon forgetting
about it once getting off the bus, he
headed ro his favorite restaurant for
dinner.
It seems for McNary that remembering his short-term destinations are
ordeals which prove to be positively
Sisyphean. "Dude, it's so annoying
when you can't remember where you
were going," opines Mcnary, dragging
endlessly on his cigarette. "It's seems
like I have to get a tattoo on my body
like that guy in "Memento" in order ro
remember stuff like that. That last time
is like the third ti me in a month I've
done that. What co uld be wrong with
me?" He stared into space for a minute
and then concluded: ''I'm sure it was n't
those three joints I smoked that night
before."

There is no charismatic leader to whip the crowd
into a frenzy. The people who talk do so earnestly,
genuinely.
Critical Mass - a group of about 20 bikers-leads the
march . They are followed by moms holding mannequin
heads with painted tears. The sign in front of them
says, "in solidarity with the mothers of Iraq. " · Behind
them come the drummers, pounding jury-rigged drums
of all shapes and sizes. The beat of the drum is just

The feeling is pre-storm, after the thunder begins but
before it starts to rain .
After the mothers comes the mass. People bt:gin call
and respo~se chants, but they don't really get anywhere.
Se lf-conSCIOusness? Opposition to simplistic slogans?
Or are people just enjoying a mellow sense of doing
so mething good and right and true?
The crowd is this long: we walked up Washington to

Democracy Looks Like!"

Saturday, February 15, proved to be the largest mobilization against war ever,
as millions throughout the world voiced their opinions in the streets. Over 600
cities throughout the world, including over 150 in the US, denounced the Bush
administration's infatuation with a war on Iraq.
I n Seattle, tens of thousands gathered at noon for a rally at the Seattle Center.
There are severe discrepancies in the numbers between The Olympian report of20,000
protesters, the Independent Media Center reporring 55,000 plus, some organizers
estimating as many as 75,000 and numerous protesters who believed they were among
100,000 or more. Many believe downplay in numbers by U.S . corporate media is
another example of their complicity with the government's desire for war.
The protesters were a diverse crowd ranging from the usual activists, to students,
suburban families , ethnic minorities, the immigrant community, veterans, and even
some identifYing themselves as conservatives for peace.
The energetic crowd listened to speeches by Native-American author Sherman
Alexie, the found er of H ate Free Zone Pramila Jayapal. and US representative Jim
McDermott, among others. McDermott spoke briefly on his recent experience visiting
Iraq , explaining a war will have dire consequences on Iraq's I I million children, as the
Gulf war did . As the march began he commended the patriotism of the crowd for
voicing their disse nt from th e Bush admin istrations war plans.
The march proceeded slowly over approximate ly 2.5 miles through downtown
Seattle along 5'!' Ave through th e Westlake Plaza shopping district and then turned
do w n 2 nd Ave., passing th e Federal Building and moved on towards the INS
headquarrers, before ending in Hing Hay Park in the International District. Many
proteste rs deposited roses at th e INS detention center, in a show of solidarity for
immigrant com munities currently being victimi zed by Bush's policies.
The protes ters carried signs with a variety of slogans, as they advanced through
th e streets they co uld be heard for blocks, chanting things like: "What do we want?
Peace' When do we want it) Now! " As the march ers approached the INS building
th ey chanted "This Is What Democracy Looks Like" as th ey witnessed 2"d Ave. packed
with protesters as far as th e eye could see.
One monorail dri ve r honked his horn each time he passed over th e marchers on 5'r.
Ave. By the tim e th ose near the middle of the march were passing along the monorail,
th ere were pro tes ters returning to the Seattl e Ce nter on th e monorail flashing signs
and waving down to those below.
Traffic was held up in many places fo r ove r two hours by the march. Whi le most
sat quietly in their ca rs, some waved enco urJ.ge ment and eve n had signs, and a
few othe rs shouted th eir di sa pproval of th e protesters . On e p l'Otesto r got into
a yelling confrontation .with a few angry d ri ve rs by yellin g: "Would you like it
be tter if we jusr ki lled everyo ne." T he protes ter, a 24 yea r old in the army rese rves,
who asked not to be identified by name, said he is afraid of being called back to
service "to fi ght an unjust war for the Bush administrati on's desire to dominate
th e world and control Iraq's oil."
Interna tionally, th e call for peace was astonishing as demonstrations took place on
eve ry continent and in many of the countries Bush considers on board for war. Also
astonishing is the discrep ancy in numbers reported by the U.S. corporate media versus
the numbers reported by the Independent Media Center. In Rome, the IMC reports
2.5 million and the AP only I million, in London 1.5 million versus 1 million , and in
France 800,000 against 100,000 protestors. The AP has down played numbers across the globe.
Besides downplaying the numbers in opposition to a war, the US corporate media has upped complicity with the government by
giving the pro-war argument while keeping the reasons for those who support peace vague. King-5 News gave nearly equal time
on Saturday evening's broadcast to covering two pro-war demonstrations in Washington as it did to the massive one in Seattle.
Furrhermore channels such as CNN and MSNBC had interviews with government and military officials, asking them if the US
even needs the support of the international community. Essentially, they are preparing the public for the Bush administration's
next likely step: unilateral action.
The protests proved to be successful in hindering Bush's plans for war. According to the AP, "The US and Britain began rewotking
a draft resolution Saturday," which "might be softer text that does not explicitly call for war." Also Bulgaria, currently a member
of the UN Security Council that Bush considered a supporter, is considering abstain ing from voting on a resolution for war, along
with Mexico, Chile and Angola. After the record numbers of protesters in Italy and Spain, the governm ents of these countri es
may reconsider their support for Bush.
If the peace movement keeps growing as rapidly as it has , a war on Iraq may become politic~1 suicide for Bush.

Last Saturday, February 15th, a truly grassroots peace march took the streets of downtown Portland, Oregon.
For three-plus hours approximately one thousand protesters walked, chan red , sang, and talked with passers-by
on foot and wheel, flashing smiles and peace signs as they went. When I say grassroots, I mean that the way this
rally was coordinated involved no permits, no sponsorship from national or regional peace organizations, o r any
other organizations for that matter. Just a few simple folk--like you and I--took the initiative to print up a few
flyers, post them on some web-sites and hope for the best. Some other conce rn ed citizens who took note of the
fl ye rs took some of th eir own time to call radio stations and friends . Soon the word was out. The date was picked
to coincide with th e internat·ional demonstration date and, as everyone might know by now, millions of people
worldwide marched their cities' streets to voice their opposition to the war.
The march began a little later than planned with small clusters of people scattered around the North Block
Park off Burnside and 7 th Street. After a little time passed, the clusters ca me together and an anarchist group
staging anoth er rally at Pioneer Square came down and joined in . For about half an hour peo ple from very diverse
walks of life got up on a bench th e crowd had garhered around and spoke their mind on an array of topics, all
related to war and th e corporate/government es tablishment. Anarchists got up and spoke of oppression and raged
about inequalities. A grandmother got up and related a bit of her family's story: Four generations had passed her eyes
and marched off to war; sor:,e never came hom e. She was veryadamant about her di sapproval and her fear of seeing
anorh er generation march away. Academics got up ami relayed details of the Bush administration's involvement in
911 1 and their ongoing takeover o f the world economy that affects all of our lives direc tly. A co uple of children got
up and spoke, too. Among other things, they wanted people to just stop fighting.
The crowd began as only three or fo ur hundred people. As we went on, it grew. Less than an hour
later a mass of nearly one thousand was marching. People just seemed to come out of nowhere; many came
with signs, and all came with spirit. The crowd wandered and zigzagged through downtown closing the
streets wherever it went.
This march also came with a complimentary police escort. They made themselves very known, shuffiing
through the crowds and patrolling the perimeter. They never said we couldn't go somewhere, though, even when
we took over four lanes crossing the Burnside Bridge. Everything was really pretty peaceful.
That is, until somewhere on Broadway when some of the protesters decided to start a sit-in in the intersection
and block traffic completely. Only four people chose to demonstrate like that; many others stood behind and

around them supporting the blockade or just plain curious about it. The rest of th e march continued, though
many stopped to see what would happen. One woman, stuck directly in front of the sitters eventually got out
of her car, contrary to the advice of one of th e officers. She th en proceeded with her baby daughter to the hood
of her car, sat down, and joined in the chorus.
Traffic honked , cursed and angrily backed down the street directed in part by a member of the anarchist faction .
Sure enough, ten or so minutes later, a truck full of armored cops pulled up. A dozen or so surro unded th e
sitters and isolated them from the rest of the crowd. Cops on bikes, who had ea rli er been charring and laughing
with demonstrators, had now shifted into disciplin e gear and used their bikes as barri ca des. One by one, .
three of th e four sitters were arrested, while one got up and away instead of getting arres ted . Another arrest
was made when a cyclist, walking his bike through th e intersecrion, was violently grabbed , and cuffed . On e
bystander remarked that that particular cyclist had made a defi ant remark to on e of the office rs in charge just
a few minutes prior to his arrest.
Unfortunately, things go t uglier. The crowd had not di spersed after th e arrests, and oth ers took to the st reet to
block the same intersection . No one sat, but dancing and sign-waving blocked traffi c now. At o ne point, one car
tested the protesters, trying to edge forward . When a boot defiantly hit the front of the car, Officer Marty Rowl y
decided tQ take action . He and another officer bega n pulling demonstrators away from the ca r. Many reported
seeing th e cops' fists in the air, th en slam down into th e crowd. Apparently that wasn't working well enough
for Marty's liking, so he began to pepper-spray at close range. Of th e half- doze n demo nstra to rs in front o f
the vehicle, rwo were hit directly in the face. Another victim was a pho tograph er for rh e Independent Medi3
Center, standing several feet away from the vehicle. She went down quickly and was immedi ately treated with
warer to flush out her eyes, as were the others injured by the spray. That broke th e crowd up. Eve ryone was
reminded of the bottom-line.
When I asked the offending officer if he felt justified in his use of the pepper spray he said he didn't want to
comment. When asked why he used the pepper spray, he replied "What?! As opposed to beating them down with a
baton?" I then clarified my question to why, after that whole scene, did that moment call for violence? He replied :
"In the totality of the situation, it was my decision ." Later, the IMC reporter stated her shock over the scene and
anger at being seemingly singled out as a member of the press. She firmly believes the officer made a terrible decision
and should be held accountable for his actions.

Last week 1 wrote about discrimin atio n.
I also wrote this before 1 had a chance to
break my feelings down in seminar with
my classmates; thus my thoughts came out
a bit disjointed. 1 want to make reparations
in a few thoughts and then move onto my
next subject. First, racism exists within the
idea of discrimination, but the factors that
create racism and the approaches toward
creating a climate free from rac ism are
separate. For example, religious discrimination in practice and its solutions are separate
from race issues' same practices and soluti ons. Thus one cannot create a p'anacea at
Evergreen for all types of discrimination .
Yet should we have a Queer Day of Absence
and Prese nce? What about a Women's Day
of Absence an d Presence, or a Fat Pride D ay
of Abse nce and Prese nce?
He re I digress: I am ju st a s impl e
p il gr im, a nd th e word s I say NEVER

love: (Igape, th e uni ve rsal love, /ellaito,
brotherly/siste rly love, and eros, erotic love.
I n ge neral, I pracrice aga pe for everyone, a
un ive rsa l love ' that transcends all ba rri ers,
forg ives wrongs, and see ks to heal in subtl e
ways. This makes ve ry littl e se nse to the

th at I am at a co nstant ri sk of harm and the

Days like th ese, I want to fast-forward
my Ii fe. I wa nt to go pas t ano th er year

and half of crutch teac hing, bound in a
classroom by another's rules and regulations.
I want to go past the hours of reading and all
the relevant and non-relevant information'. I
want to go past all the days 1 will be "there"
in class and all the days that it will seem
like teeth-pulling to sit for hours. 1 want
to go past another year of being single in
Olympia, estranged from my family and
my best friend who has gone to Hungary
for a year.
I am inspired by the energy my mentor-·
ing teacher has after nearly thirty years of
teaching kids. I would like to think it comes
from the kids, but this teacher still shines
with more energy than others years younger
that I have observed. To be that energy, I
have to come out of thi s dark hole. 1 need
to be fully present in my classes. I might
have to make fri ends with people. I do not
th ink of my cl assmates as friends. We spe nd
so much time together, th e idea of being

know so much more abo ut each other. We

It is obvious Randy has devoted a large
pan of his life to serving peo ple's health needs
and co ntinu es to do so with a no-nonsense,
praclical approa ch. He says he doesn'l necessar il y love it , but mjoys th e chall enges of
custo mizin g presc riptions. For exa mple, a

Ra ndy has made a transderm al crea m to

doctor is monitoring th e wo man's blood
levels. It takes time to solve difficult health
situall o ns .
Here is anoth er examp le: Randy is making
a nasa l spray for someo ne s~ ffe r i n g from
chronic sinus infec tion s. It is possible th at
th e infect ion is bacterial, viral, and may have
yeast involvement. One solut io n was to add
a homeupathi c rem edy to an antibacterial
compo nent. T his did not work, so the challenge conrinues. A very successful product
compou nded at Randy's contains freeze-d ri ed
aloe vera plant , which is a superconduc to r
(goes through the skin quickly and easily) as
well as methylcellulose. This compounded
to pical medicat ion used by cancer pa tients
soo thes their skin after radiation treatments.
C lients are thankful for the produ cts and
attention they receive.
In our healrhcare system, people cha nge
their doctor based on their insurance co mpany's policy and procedure changes. Randy
advised, "Don't go get a new doctor to keep
your tnsurance. Keep your doctor and get
rid of yo ur insurance." It is smart to build
a relati onsh ip wi th your doctor and you r
pharmacist.
Health ca re sys tems are being mod eled

"Gatekeeper of the sacred spot, may I
enter this watery womb and listen to its
wisdom ?" I ask. I feel permission granted. 1
haven't been here since summer. It is fall, and
the bog has rran; formed into a mushroom
have n. I see little red ones, big fat purple ones,
lacy ones, and so me look like form s you'd
find on the bottom of the ocean.
I sit on a piece of wood encircled by fallen,
mossy cedar branches, out of whi ch sp rin g a
plethora of mushrooms. I close my eyes and
breat he. I become aware of the chainsaws
bu u ing, behin d me and to th e side, but
I am unperturb ed . In my mind 's eye , I
see mushrooms danc in g. I open my eyes.
Mushrooms depend on deat h and decay.
Spirit tel ls me that cl ea r-cutting and the war
are like these fa llen branches. Out of th e
dea th and des tructi on spring forth vib ra nt,
mag ical forms .
It is difficult to let our constructions fall
a way. The des truct io n of the World Trade
Center and the Per-Hago n are like fa llen trees
in th e forest. In a healthy fore st, th e log
stays on the ground so it can fulfill its most
importan t role in the forest life cycle. Its
death provides a space in the overcrowded
forest and a nu trien t-rich regeneration site.
From th e fallen tree , strong, yo ung trees
emerge. They transfo rm the minerals from
the parent tree into their new form s. If the
fa llen log is not allowed to lie, if we extract it
and all its nutrients, the trees that grow in its
place wi ll be small and weak. In this way, we
must allow some of our coun try's structures
we have created to fall, taking and using the
parts that worked, and transforming the other
parts to create new structures.
For this to work on a national level, the
process must begin within. The external world
is a reflection of each of our intern al worlds.
Deep inside each of us are thoughts, feel ings,
or actions th at have somehow co n tributed
to global and local crises . Although it is
frightening and painful, we must see these fn r
wha t they are. Only by ack nowledgin[; th em
will th ey be able to fall away. W ith th e dea th
of th ese parts of ourselves, we must sit, wa ir.
As the old ways begin to decay. be neticial
aspec ts will reveal themselves. T hen we can
use th ose jewels to create ourselves anew.

I can't wa it to make pai nts with this ea rth
fruit and paint on my homemade, recycled
paper. I ac knowl edged th e destruction of my
painting passio n and with tim e, ingenuity,
and pati ence, I found a bene r way. It was not
th e passion for painting that was des tructive,
but th e way I went about it.
Destruction is all around . The buildings
or sy mbols of o ur cou ntr y's military and
fin ancial structures have been destroyed. Now
we have an opportuni ty to re- exa min e thes~
structures. What po licies ca use di sso nance in
the world so ng? With the jewel.s we sca ve nge
from the ruins, we will rebu ild ourselves . We
will be a stro nger co untry, as we fine tune our
own melody to be more harm oni ous with the
rest of the world. I cradle this des tructi on li ke
a sick iinle baby. W ith faith, I lick its wounds.
To des troy des tructio n on ly perpetuates th e
cycle. Treating des truction with compass ion
allows it to grow into a new way of being, a
way that supports and sustains all life.
Editor's Note: Andrew Fyfo is an Evergreen
student and an Army Reservist. He was
called to active duty this week and is currently
heading to the Middle East - he doesn't
exactly know where. At the request of
the CPj, Andrew wrote about his flelings
concerning the war, his role, and what it's
like being a Creener and a soldier.
I have been a n arm y reservist for 3
yea rs now, which m ea nt training for 3
days eac h m onth of each o f those years.
I also had to attend Basic Training at Ft.
Knox, Kentucky for 10 weeks and then
Psychological Operations Specialist school
at Fr. Bragg, North Ca rolina.
I hold the rank of specialist, which is just
above Private and just below Sergeant. My
job is Psychologi cal Operations (PsyO p). I
ride around in a Hummer with two other
soldiers, either doing 'surrender appeals, '
or 'decep tion operations.' Deception Ops
involve faking gunfire or helicopter noises
at different locations during battle to
throw off the enemy's beliefs about our
force's size and location.
A lot of people are not aware that
reservists have to go through basic training,
or even that they get paid! In truth, active
duty and reservists all go to the same basic
training together.
My birthday is March 30, so I'll probably be turning 21 overseas.
I would have graduated from Evergreen
mid-summer and gone on to graduate
studies in the Philosophy of Science had
I not been deployed, but I guess that can
all wait. I would have atrained my BA in 2
- yellrs by-taking 20 credits each quarrer and
staying for summers (plus 32 military and
AP credits). Professors and the school have
, been very, very, helpful. 1 had no problem
getting a refUnd for the quarter.
1 came to Evergreen from Dallas, Texas,
where I grew up. I came for a more liberal
atmosphere, and for the chance to take 180
credits of straight philosophy and science
(no required English Literature 101!).
While back at my Texas high schooll was
the vocal liberal, "coming to Evergreen
gave me a chance to be a conservative, " as

I think the same goes for a lot of people
who pretend to know what is best for the
U.S. to do right now. The only thing
that I might have to say about the war is
to bash the media's misrepresentation of
the " Dove" position. The media makes
the Doves come across as not believing
that Iraq has weapons of mass destruction
(WMD) and if the inspectors are given
~<?re time, we will . disc~et.<haq, poses
no threat. While some may believe this,
I think the majprity of Doves are willing
to accept that Iraq has WMD. The real
position of the Doves is that this is a
fact we can live with. That an invasion
of Iraq is not worth the cost of dead
innocents, a rise in terrorism, and possible
destabilization of the entire region. The
'Hawks' (pro-war) think that the U .S.
will be able to keep the region stabilized,
and that this act will lessen terrorism in
the long run, and that innocent Iraqis
will live better lives once freed from the
dictatorship of Saddam. Of the two sides
I don't know who is right, but it wouldn't
much matter if I did. I'll have to sit this
political battle out because I'll be a bit busy
fighting the physical battle overseas.
I joined the military because at the
youthful age of 17 I believed that only
someone who has seen the hell of combat
could have a informative perspective on
life, and that the experience would make
me a better philosopher (my career goal). I
don't believe that anymore, but the impulse
behind that belief is still strong. I still long
to enter a hot Area of Operations (AO)
Ilnd fight my way out--just once. Some
won't understand that impulse, and some
share it with me. The great philosopher
Ludwig Wittgenstein felt the same way
when he left for World War 1. Of him,
biographer Ray Monk said, "he in some
sense welcomed that war seems indisput~
able .... Witrgenstein felt that the experience
of facing death would, in some way or
other, improve him. He went to war, one
could say, not for the sake of his country,
but for the sake of himself." If I could
end this all peacefully I would, but it is
not my choice.
Since it will happen, regardless ifl go or
not, I choose to go. I welcome the chance
to go. I doubt I'll gain that "perspective"
I always thought in my youth that war
would bring, but maybe I'll finally get
that romantic wish for heroics out of my
system.
am very pissed off. Arrer reading
a recent Vox Pop a few weeks
ago which asked, "In light of the
proposed cutbacks, what sacrifices
are you willing to make in order to
get an education?" T here was one
girl who said, and I quote, "J get
financial aid so J don't really have
to make sacrifices. I don't really like
school, and J wouldn't be going if
I didn't get money for it so I don 't
think I 'd make sacrifices." What
the hell is that? There are cutbacks
everywhere an d t hi s gi rl , who
apparently has a free ride, is just
wasting the money, which could
be going to another student who
actually wants an educatio n .
Why is she going to school?
Why is she just wasting the money
which so many of us badly need
to get through the year? 1 know
I had to take out loans this year,
and I am not a wealthy person
and neither are my parents. I,
like many students at Evergreen,
actually WANT an education, and
this girl who is probably attending
college for the whole party aspect
of it, is, in my eyes, parr of the
problem we are having. The one
sacrifice she should be willing to
make is getting out of school, or
maybe she had better starr caring
and making a change, and putting
the money the government and
the state and the college is giving
to her to good use.
We should not point the finger
just to the federal government, the
state and the college. We should
also blame the freeloaders who are
sucking up the resources that help
enable other people who want to
get a college education, but cannot
afford to. It's people like this girl
who bring everything down .

White Facult}' Needed-';;-;by-;-r - JQL---;;;;-=

It is the responsibility of every white
student, white staff member, and white
faculty member to work to end racism at
Evergreen. There can be no exceptions.
On the Day of Absence, I attended
a prese ntation by anti-racist white guy
C hris'Crass. During his opening, he asked
faculty in the audience to raise theit hands,
that th ey mi ght b e acknowledged and
appreciated. Only one hand was raised . I
felt unsupported and di sco uraged.
As a white student working to end
racism, specifically the institutionalized
racis m of Evergreen, I know that one
of the most effective barriers to thi s
work is the lack of involvement by white
faculty. Students get involved in meetings
and events. Students have dialogue with
one another. Students make changes in
themselves and others, and then carry
those changes beyond Evergreen's campus,
striving to make greater change in the
world. But Evergreen's institutionalized
racism remains and will remain until
white faculty and staff demand with the
students, faculty and staff of Color that
it be eliminated.
White faculty are gatekeepers. You
hold the key. You did not ask for the key.
It was ha nded to you . You cannot get
rid of it. You can only use it. How will
you use it?
White faculty, we n eed you in this
struggle. The demand for your involvement will not diminish or vanish . It is
in your best interest to start now. There
is racism at work in every social science
program, every politics program , every
art program, every science program. You
direct and guide the learning environment.
You have a lot of work to do.
What can you do? Anticipate the Day
of Presence/Day of Absence. I've heard
white faculty say that their class schedule
was already planned, and they could not
afford to let students OUt. This excuse
is not meaningful. The two days are a
fixture at Evergreen, are always scheduled
for the same time of year, and appear on
the academic calendar well in advance of
class schedules. Let your classes out to
attend the events.
Require your students to attend
events, and attend with them. You read
books about racism in class. You bring
in speakers about rac ism. You se minar
abo ut racism . All of this is good work, and
necessary. However, it is not a replacement
for the active in vo lvement of you and
your students in the co mmunity working
to end racism . Day of Absence/Day of
Presence is a community event, and faculty
must support and enable the involvement
of all community members.
Organize white faculty and petition
the administration to require no classes
on Day of Absence/Day of Presence. Get
involved with Activists Working Against
Racism at Evergreen (AWARE). We are
working to make institutional changes
at Evergreen, and our work is fleeting
without you.
Talk with other white faculty about
racism . Learn how to support each other
in fighting racis m , and how to be allies
with the students and faculty of color.
We're doin g good work and making
progress. There are faculty and staff who
are supporting students and each other in
this long struggle. I am overjoyed to meet
more and more people who are thinking
abo ut racism and working to end it.
None of us crea ted racism . Eve n so, all
white people in the States were born into
a racist system from which we b enefi t. It
is our responsibility to ack nowl edge our
place in this system, to shake ourselves free
of it, knock it loose from the found atio ns
of our institutions, and pull it our of th e
woven fabric of our society.

An important part of the mission of the
Police Services Community Review Board
(PSCRB) is to funher communication
between the campus community and
Police Services by informing the community about important police matters.
Throughout this quarter, at the request
of Art Costantino, the Vice President
for Student Affairs, the PSCRB will
provide information to, and consult
with, members of the Evergreen community, Washington Federation of State
Employees (union)has requested that
Evergreen support our police officers by
moving from our current 'limited arming'
policy to a full (24/7) arming policy.
At the beginning of Spring quarter, the
PSCRB will submit a recommendation
to the Vice President based on student,
faculty and staff input, and information
from several other sources, including the
union, the director of Police Services, and
an outside consultant, The vice president
wiU consider our report when he makes
his recommendation to President Les
Purce. The President will then make the
final decision.
Evergreen's current arming policy,
which has been in effect since 1997,
allows campus police officers to carry
firearms from 6 p,m, to 8 a.m" seven days
a week. Police officers may carry firearms
from 8 a,m. to 6 p,m. when distant from
their automobiles (where guns are secured
in lock boxes,) when providing security
to public officials, when large amounts
of money are transported, when ordered
to do so by the director of Police Services
during dangerous time periods, and

when you put others first. • •
