Member Passes Away ·to the
. Mark Papworth, one of the original faculty members of the College, died
on Sunday, April 13. Mark died of complications from pneumonia. He and
his wife Linda had moved to Arizona in 1999. Mark joined the faculty in
1972. He came to Evergreen as an archeologist and cultural anthropologist.
In his years at the College, he explored many new areas including art history,
sculpture, and, most notably, forensic anthropology. Many on campus will
remember when Mark served on the Green River murder investigation.
Among his many community activities, Mark was county deputy coroner
for a few years. Mark will be well remembered for his enthusiasm and
renowned story-telling ability.
I hope those of you who knew Mark will help us celebrate his life and
his contributions to the College.

"Like a d
In ers ip
- ." ny
Better!"
Washington college students
are building resume experience,
earning extra cash, and getting
their 'foot in the door' with
leading employers - thanks to
CampusPoint's new "TempTern"
Program.
With Temp Tern jobs, students
choose what company they want
to work for, and when they work
- making it simple to find a part
time job while in school or a
full-time job for summer time or
other breaks. Some students may
be able to get academic credit
for some TempTern jobs. As the
name implies, TempTern jobs
are temporary, and last from a
week to six months, or longer.
Recent graduates should note,
however, that nothing prevents
an employer from hiring a
TempTern permanently - and
many plan to do so. Students can
research TempTern jobs, apply
for them, and monitor their
progress through the selection
process in real time, all online,
via the CampusPoint's Personal
Career Center website. Many
local leading employers are participating in the program.
With the tightened economy
and lack of full-time opportunities, the TempTern Program
provides new opportunities for
students and recent graduates to
show off their skills to employers,
build connection s and resume
experience all while earning extra
Income.
" We are offering students
and recent graduates nearly all
of the advantages of a tradi tional paid internship," said Jason
Granlund, co-Founder and CEO
of CampusPoint. "We've also
created a new way for employers
to experience why students
and recent graduates are high
value employees. The Templern
Program is a win/win for everybody."
The TempTern Program is
a division of CampusPoint
Corporation, an Independ ent
Career Service Organization
known for helping Washington's
college students and recent graduates connect with local employers. All services provided to students and recent graduates are
FREE. Positions are available in
most fields including non-profit,
accounting, sales, general busi:
ness, customer service, engineering, software development,
and more. For more information, or to apply, VISit

Earth Day Celebration
at the Organic Farm!

Why Celebrate Earth Day)
Ea rrh Day is an opportu nity to edu ca te uurs elves, renew our pl edges to care for
the Eart h , and come lUgether as a world community. On April 22, 1970 , Senator
Gay lord Nelson and UC Davis Professor Jose Arguelles, (coming to TESC 4 -22 -03)
conce rned about the state of the env ironment , organized a nationwide "teach; in"
to rai se awareness about the increasing environmental crisis. Twenty million people
participated in natiunwide demonstratio ns and activities. On that day the Environmental
Protection Agency was established, and both the Clean Air Act and (he National
Environmental Policy Act (which req uires an analysi s of the environme ntal impacts of
federal actions) were signed into law.
'
Now, thirry-three years later, the environment is still being exploited and many of
these legis lative landm arks have been totally compromised , corrupted, or have been
partially or completely eliminated . For these reasons, the promotion of Earth Day is
crucial to raising awareness of our earth and its condition. What is equally importa nt is
celebrating our existence within (he Gaia organism.
One of th e Gro ups that is organizing Earth Day is DEAP (Develupmmt ur Ecological
Agri culture Practices). DEAP is a positive alternative forum focusing on the d evelopment
of ecological agriculture practices that promote care for th e Earth, care for people, and the
understanding of what it takes to make that h appen. DEAP works to make reso urCes and
hands-on agriculture projects available to the Evergreen State College comm unity. Modern
agriculture, like most human activi(ies, has be en plagued by lack offoresighr. As a stud<:nt
group fo cused on the development of benign agriculture practices, 0 EAr' is currently
developing a plan to permaculwre the former community gardens.
Various stu dent g roups on campus have recently collaborated with DEAP and
other groups to work on projects like Earth Day. The other groups spo nsoring this
eve nt include Students at Evergreen for Ecological Design, H ealin g Arts C ollective,
SESAME and others.
This Eart h Day we will be celebrating at the Farm with prese nta tions, work shops, ,I
plant sale, and music. Come on down and join th e fun '

Jose Arguelles, Ph.D., co-founder of Earth Day and author of numerous works including
The Mayan Factor, Earth Ascending, and Time and tIlt Teclmosphere will be speaking at TESC on
Earth Day. He will be presenting a groundbreaking study that distinguishes natural time of the
cosmos from the artificial mechanistic time under which we currently live.
Arguelles defines the actual nature of time as the frequency of synchronization. By applying
this Law of Time to the entire system of life on Earth, he shows that in order save Earth's
ability ro sustain life we must change our definition of time and adopt a natural harmonic
calendar based on the 13-moon, 28-day cycle. Until the creation of the Gregorian calendar
and the 60-minute hour, most of humaniry lived by the 28-day cycle of natural time. The
adoption of artificial time has subjected us to a 12:60 time frequency that governs the entire
glohal industrialized civilization- the technosphere.
Humanity ha.~ a golden opportunity to leave the strife of the past and enter a time of
peace by adopting a harmonious natural calendar that will repair the damages caused by the
irregular tcmpo of technospheric time. Our last best chance to adopt natural time and step
into (he bright new future promised by the galactic shift of2012 is the Great Calendar Change
of 2004, a discovery based on the author's mathematical research into the Mayan calendar first
begun in his landmark wurk, The Mayan Factor. Arguelles reveals the clear distinction between
third-dimrnsional astronomical time and the fourth-dimensional synchronic order of the Law
of Time, which hold enormous potential for the future ofhumaniry.
Arguelles created the mural in the library building stairwell. He also initiated the
Harmonic Convergence of 1987.

Over 2 million people are currently behind bars in the United States. This
represents the highest per capita incarceration rate in the history of the world .
The United States, which has 5% of the world's general population, has 25% of
the world's prison population. This monumental commitment to lock up a sizable
percentage of the population is an integral part of the globalization of capital, the
perpetuation of racism, the marginalization of sexual and gender Illinorities, and
the continuous militarization of civilian life. The United States' role as a policeman
of the world and the acceptance by Congress of greater domestic repression has
created a political, social, and economic Frankenstein known as the prison-industrial
complex. The prison-industrial complex has become an essential component of the
U.S. economy and work against it has become an important element in defending
human rights and preserving democracy.
Come Join the Prison Action Committee for a weeklong series of speakers,
poets, films, and workshops that expose the real truth behind prison walls and
beyond the blue wall of silence. For more information, or if you're interested in
volunteering please contact the Prison Action Committee at 1-(360)-876-6724

In 1896, Leopold S<;.hmidt established the Capital. Brewing
Company because he liked the taste of the artesian well water in
the area. Within years the brewery was renamed the Olympia
Brewing Company and its wooden structure was replaced by
what we now call the old Olympia Brewhouse. The brewery
sining along the Deschutes River in Tumwater has been in the beer
business for more than a century, save for prohibition when the
brewery produced canned goods and transformed itself into a paper
mill. In 1933, prohibition was lifted and the brewery relocated
(0 its current site.
In early January of this year, SABMilller
(the current owner) announced that its doors would soon be
closing for good.
Miller Brewing Co. explained that there was no one reaso n
for the Tumwater plant closing, but rather there were a number
of probl ems that the plant co uld not overcome. The brewery
produced 1.7 million barrels of beer last year, which is significantly
less than its rated capacity. Also, the brewery is the smallest
of all the Miller plants and it would require significant ca pital
invesrments (0 update rhe plant (Forbes). The beer produced
in Tumwater includes Henry Weinhard 's, Mickey's, Hamm's,
and Olde English 800. Never since Miller has owned the plant
has it produced Miller's trademark brews, such as Miller Lite.
Making the plant capable of producing these beers would be
too expensive. Miller manages its own wastewater, and recently
the state Department ' of Ecology denied the brewer the right
to discharge its waste into the river, which also might have had
bearing on Miller's decision to leave.
July is the expected time of the closure , with almost 400
workers losing their jobs. The closure also means that the
O lympia/Tumwater area is losing its largest private employer. In
an already depressed economy, one can only assume that such a
co ncentrated IQ~s._ of work. won't help. The city's annual budget
/
J
..
."
will be losing $125,000 because of Miller's decision .
Now, concern centers on whether or not there will be a buyer to purchase the brewery.
City officials believe that if there is no immediate purchase, the plant coulq remain vacant
for many years, and the longer it remains vacant the less attractive it will hec9me to potential
buyers. The brewery sits on 98 acres, and, including buildings and machinery, is worth
about $42 million . The brewery may never function again, but people in this area must

flows through the human body. According
TCM , Qui flows on predictable pathways
called meridians . A practitioner of TCM
interacts with the flow of Qui using specific
points on the meridians, known as acupuncture POll1ts.
TCM demonstrates its individuali sm in
diagnosis and treatment , by approaching each
person as a unique complex of past, prese nt,
and future. Diagnosis includes extensive,
detailed intake interview focused on general
health as well as questions directed at finding
the cause of the condition. The practitioners
will determine quality of digestion, breathing,
sleep, and di et. Identification of patterns
and monitoring the subsequent changes in
those patterns remains important for both
diagnosis and treatment.
Often an acupuncturist determines a
client's elemental constitution. Most people
have a predominant constitution, which
affects how they react with the world and how
they shift in and out of balance. In T CM,
the basis for constilUtion derives (rom the
lO
five-element theory, including water, wood,
fire , earth, and metal. Each element involves
certain characteristics that distinguish it
from the other elements. Pulse, body shape,
skin type, attitudes, so und, and many other
attributes contribute lO a pe rson's overall
constitution .
The generating cycle serves as an essential
tool for practitioners ofTCM. Also guided by
the five-element theory, the generating cycle
flows from water/kidney to woodlliver to
lire/heart to earth/spleen lO metaillung then
back to water/kidney and so around it goes.
The elements and organs in the generating
cycle influence and control each other in
simple and complex ways. For exa mple , excess
Qui in earth/spleen may result in dampness ,
mucus, weight gain, or mental dullness. Based
on diagnosis and individual constitution ,
a practitioner of TCM may approach this
situation in different ways. One possibility
involves draining earth/spleen into metal/lung.
Another involves toning fire/h ea rt to reduce
the production of earth/spleen .
TCM encompasses many techniques in
treatment. The lecture trio demonstrated a
few for our group . Acutonics affects change in
Qui by stimulating acupuncture points with
sound waves. Kate struck tuning forks, tuned
to C sharp, and placed them on specifically
chosen points. She prefers C sh arp because
it is commonly found in nature. Whales
sing and crickets chirp in C s h ar p. She
also positioned metal bowls on the backs of
students, James and Kris. Circling a mallet
inside the bowls started a vibration. Through
the air, th e vibration moves tiny sensory ha irs
insi de our ears. Our brain s interpret this
as sound. The vibration waves through the
body moving Qui, which is also perceived
by the brain .
In addition to standard acupuncture needling, Larry demonstrated electro-acupuncture
on Gabe, a student volunteer. More common
in C hina than in the US, electro-acupuncture
incorporates electricity running into th e

That's Mental!
b}'J1an Bennett
So I thought about discus~ing the finer
points of good cheese. Then I thought about
existentialism , and then I thought not. But,
what I really wanted to talk about was mental
health . .. after all I am an expert (not a doctor)
in the field. Not in the field of mind you, but
the general arena of all things mental. What
am I talking about, you may ask (and you
may) is anxiety·and depress ion.
But what has anxiety and depression have
to do with college? Well the two 'are linked
like so many tofu sausages, like gooey peanut
butter and jelly sa ndwich halves, like Marylyn
Monroe and Marylyn Manson . Well ok ,
not like the last one but they are linked, a
lot r Really. Anxiety and depression are coconspirators of the mind. If you suffer from
one, the other lurks close by.
Hey wait a minute! How do I know all
th ese amazi ng things, and have the insolence
and audacity to call myself an expert, anyway.
Not only do I have anxiety and depression
myself, but I have also worked with hundreds
(yes, many more than a dozen) of folks with
various kinds of mental illness over the past
decade (I use th e word decade to impress
yo u). In learning eve rything I could about
d ep ress io n and anxiety, I discove red that a
huge nu mbe r of people, close to a quarter of
the population a t a ny given time, live with
them . Most folks a re in denial about it, but
th en again that's not surprising.
There are several major kinds of depression ,
including Major depression . There is Clinical
depress ion , Postpartum depression, and other
transien t forms of depress ion usually referred
to as Affective (mood) disorders . Depression
is often more than simple sadness. Depression
reduces ones energy level, ones ability to
experience pleasure, and clarity of thought .
The severest forms of depression are considered
mental illnesses. Oh no! Run for the hills , it's
a mental illness ... ahhh!
I know what you're thinking, son of. Isn't
mental illness about being crazy? Au contraire,
mon frere. Not necessarily. Craziness is about
excessive behavior and is usually reserved Tor
appointed presidents that act like cowboys .
.. bu t there's no time for that righ t now.
Depression and mental illness is not about
throwing fish heads at oncoming traffic (I
tried it and don't recommend it). It doesn't
m ean that you are developmentally delayed
or need a pock-pen protector. It m eans that
your mood gets o ut of control and your level
of intelligence has little bea ring. Some people
tend to experience so m e level of depression
a nd can't rationalize it or understand why it
is happening. So naturally they go st raight to
anger. Yes , anger.
We know all about anger and irritability,
don't we? Anger is much easier to deal with
than so me kirid of mystery sadness. Do you
know anyone that often seems gloomy but
responds angrily? Imagine having this constant
overwhelming feeling that has no perceived
basis and you have little control over it. Would
that piss you off afrer awhile? Sure it would .
Be sides, d e pression a nd mental illness is
usually not rhe sort of thing that we discuss
around the dinn er tabl e, coffee table or tab le
of co ntents. Talking about it helps a lot . It
h elps everyone. Do it today. Peopl e often
assume stuff that may not be correct so talk
about it.
The other part of depression, even less
understood is anxiety. This often co mes in
various forms, the most common of which
is Generalized anxiety. Now I must say that
anxiety is kind of weird. Why, you m ay ask
(and of coarse you may) . It is because it is a
naughty little creature that is a cross breed
between vague fear, ambiguous worry, and
heightened startle-sensitivity. And, it seems
to live with you, soiling you favorite dinner
jackets for no apparent reason. And, as I said
earlier, depression often accompanies it to
one degree or another. Having anxiety ca n
get depressing. But more than that, scientists
working with NIMH (National Institutes
of Mental Health) have been doing imaging
scans of people that suffer from anxiety and
depress ion and they have noticed correlations
and causal loops betwe e n the two. One
condition seems to create the brain chemistry
environment suitable for the other condition.
Who-da-thought. I did , but who lis tens to
me ...
Anyway, my point to all this is to make
a point. And the point that I am making is
that depression and.anxiety are not discussed
enough, though a quarter of us experience
them regularly. And, more importantly, now
that Junior has launched us into a little war;
our depression and a nxiety level increases in
step with the inscribed alert level . It is one
thing to feel sad and hopeless already, but
then our country declares war. First on drugs
(politically incorrect ones, of course) th en the
war on terror (poss ibly a technique or just a
feeling) and now finally on an actual co untry.

It was anxiety and depression .
What I hope for is this: that folks that·
read this article and experience depressio n
or anxiery, or know someone that does, tr y
to spend more time talking about them .
Listening is also good. These emotions make
it very easy to feel isolated. They are not well
understood and difficult to discuss (especially
for some male type folks like myself) . I have
facilitated a plethora of support groups where
encouraging folks to talk about their feelings
with others is a challenge. Trust and honesty
are important factors in making it happen.
So give it a try. Therapy is good and some
medications are helpful.
Well that is enough serious ness for now. I
plan on writing more articles in the CPJ on
m ental health . It is not easy talking openly
about mental health b ecause of the va s t
quaintly of st igma asso c ia ted with il. Not
only that mental illness is a large group of
conditions that are not n ecessarily related to
each other but there is a g rea t deal of fe ar
associated with them . I h ave spen t a great
d eal of time and energy wo rking to educate
people about this subject. As a m a rter offact, I
' have shows on TCTV channel 22 (29 in some
areas) on Tuesday and Thursday nights at

remember my advice for the month is: if it's

is a time of celebration, reflection , and
respect. First, though, let me offer some
background information.
Cambodia is located in Southeast Asia
and is largely a Buddhist country, but also
has some Muslim and Hindu populations.
(A few countries within its vicinity are
Thailand, Vietnam, Laos and Malaysia.)
The Cambodian calendar system is lunarbased, thus the New Year's celebration
is held in mid-April, usually from the
13 to the 15, which coincides with the
new moon. Astrologers determine the
starring date of the Cambodian New Year's
celebration. Coincidentally, this time

the harvest. It's a time for the farmers
to enjoy the fruits of their labor before
the monsoon season begins. (Cambodia
is mainly an agricultural based country,
although it is one of the major world
producers and exporters of rubber.)
The celebration is three days long and,
in Cambodia, very few people work on
those days. The time is spent visiting
family and friend s, as well as the Buddhist
temples. However, there are many preparations to be m ade before the celebrations
begin . Part of this preparation includes
the cleaning your house. Can you imagine
cleaning your house as a prerequisite for
January I? The idea behind cleaning your
home thoroughly is to rid th em of any
unclean spirits.
Also, traditionally, you would either
buy or make new clothes specifically for
the New Year's celebration. Women wear
traditional clothes made from silk, woven
in various patterns and shades of color. The
traditional jewelry worn by the women are
also heartbreakingly beautiful; precious
metals delicately mold e d into various
confines of beauty. The men traditionally
wear black pants, made from silk and
white rounded-neck shirts. Nowadays ,
however, we wear Hugo Boss suits and
other acceptable formal clothes . The
purchase of new clothes and cleaning of
our homes represent a new beginning.
Each of the three days of the Cambodian
New Year has its own name and specific
activities associated with it. The first day is
called Maha Sahgkrant (MOH-hah sahng
KRAHN). It is the starr of the New Year,
signaled by a drum, bell, or gong of the
Buddhist temple. The sounding of either
of these instruments herald s the New
Angel of that respective year Each year
has its own "G uardian Angel" that ensures
prosperity, fortune, etc. Throughout the
day, people participate in ceremonies and
games. One of the activities specific to
this day is the building of a small sand
"mountain ." Each piece of sand that is
added to the mountain is belie ved to
produce more health and happiness in
their lives.
The second day is Vana Bat. This day is
mainly rese rved for praying. It is aho
a day to show consideration to elders.
Parents, grandparents, and teachers are
given gifts out of respect. Also, this day
is also a time to serve and be charitable.
Cambodians offer charity to the less
fortunate, participate in service activities,
and forgive others who may have done
wrong to them. The mountain continues
to grow as people add more. The final day
is called Loeung Sack. On this day, the
monks come out and bless the "sand-

Buddha statues are taken out of the Temple
and are cleaned. You are given a single
flower (chrysanthemums, roses, and lotus
flowers are generally used) which you dip
in perfumed water, to clean the statues
with. The act symbolically represents
reverence and respect for Buddha. It's also
considered to be a highly meritorious deed
that will bring prosperity, good luck, and
happiness. The bathing also symbolizes
hope for sufficient rainfall for the rice

Many Cambodian immigrants observe
the Cambodi-an New Year in other countries, including the United States. The
celebration lasts for only two days here
because it would be impractical to take
three days off of work; April 13-15 usually
lands on a weekend . Because of this reason ,
many of the activities are condensed into
two days, inherently omitting a few. It
is a time for those who have fled their
country to remember their culture and
share it with their children and friends .
Because the Cambodian New Year falls on
a Sunday, Monday and Tuesday this year,
the celebration is going to be extended to
the 19 of April. If you would like further
information for times and places for

The three lecturers discussed moxibustion,
in which small balls of dried mugwon (moxa)
burn on the end of inserted needles, creating
heat and intensifYing treatment. Cupping,
another tool for influencing Qui, uses fire
and heat to create a suction cup over an
acupuncture point.
Modern science is beginning to accept
and validate classical Chinese therapies .
Acupuncture research shows significant results
'with stroke victims, mental illness, pain, and
many other health circumstances.
Many benefits result from integrating
eastern and western medical practices. The
combination produces better over all outcomes. Modalities such as acupuncture
or acutonics treat side effects of necessary
medications. As western doctors learn more
about TCM, it offers them a new prescriptive
modality to use. People treated with a blend
of eastern and western modalities learn to
more effectively manage their healthcare.
The February 6 issue of the Cooper
Point Journal included an interview with
Acupuncturist Onica Taylor. She and James
Peters, alumni ofTESC, operate the Tacoma
Acupuncture Clinic. Since the article printed
in February. their clinic has become involved
in a new integrative relationship between
allopathic medicine and TCM . [n conjunction
with an oncology clinic in Seattle and physicians in Tacoma, The Tacoma Acupuncture
Clinic provides educational resources for
third and fourth year medical school interns.
Med students learn when to send their clients
to an acupuncturist and what for. These
future physicians are learning exactly how to
prescribe and integrate eastern therapies with
their western training. Progress!

ver - Well, basically the show is all about the Goddess and the way she permeates
ing that we do, day in and day out. I can proudly say that E.L.F. is alive and
the Evergreen ca mpus.
E.L.F.?
Erisian Liberation Front. The Earth Liberation Front has taken warmly to the

Who?
Eris,.. the goddess of discord . Have you not been paying attention? Remember
never mean what you say and you should definitely never say what you mean.
the suffering of others and is also a complete
bitch in general. Her charac ter is rather one
dimensional and terribly pitiful, but she
knows how to push peoples' buttons. Gotta
give her credit for that.
Raychel A. Wagner seems to play Estelle
as the comic relief of the sto ry. Her attempts
to seduce Ga rcin and her pleas for Inez's
pity are totally laughable. So is much of
the play, in fact. It's intended as a drama,
but the actors grant the black humor quite
a bit of irony. The characters ju st can't
leave each other alone. Their fate has been
predetermined to just rub each other in
the worst way, no matter what they do or
say. It's indirectly com ical. Here you are
watching three people suffer and you can't
help but laugh, for it is no one's fau lt but
th eir own.

Basic
The only real problems I saw had to do
with some of the blocking. Each actor takes
their turn with their back to the crowd .
This was totally unnecessary since the room
is so small and there are only three actors.
I don't understand what effect the director
intended , but it failed . Aside from that,
the actors so metimes had trouble laughing
au thentically.
As a whole, it works. It's not Bro:ldway,
but what do you expect from a bllnch o f
people putting on a pl ay with next to no
money and ex press ing th e idea that hell is
in fact, other people?

The latest venture for action directo r John McTiernan, the military thrill er 1",-,il'
see ms to have been made by people with the most bitter of contempt for the auclienc~'s
patience. It exists only to gi ve the audience of slackjaws their mon ey's worth , with so
many narrative cul-de-sacs and so much deliberate lab yr inthin e plottin g th at as th,'
closing credits begin to roll, eve ryone fee ls JS if they need to sit down with so me: Luff~'e

the actors with their style and energy, McTiernan with his self-assured appro,leh to :
crowd-pleasing filmmaking, and everyone else involved thought they wne working off :
of good ideas and were making a deviously entertaining picture.
Like a military version of Rashomoll without the genius, Basic's main story is told
in flashbacks from different perspectives. John Travolta, whose inability to pic k decent
projects still amazes me, tries to breathe life into the material with a performall ce that
credits him as still one of the most watchable of actors. He plays Tom Hardy, a milit 'lry
interrogarionist called in to a Panama jungle base to learn the truth about an insane
training exercise for an elite group of special forces led by the tough Sergeant West
(Samuel L. Jackson). The training exercise somehow went awry and ended up with !
West's death (or burning or shooting or something.) As Travolta doubles bJck bem cc.'11
the survivors and their pernicious lies, the inevitable twists and jerks in the plot keep
coming and coming and double back and fall over each other and eventually choke the I
movie out of comprehension. Entire scenes seem missing and some seem to h:lVe stLI)'cd
from other movies. Subplots and narrative devices go off on tangents or lead li S Ilowhere.
'The big problem is that eventually we just stop caring. The twists are gratuitous ancl
Basic revels in them. We are merely being toyed with for the fun of it. The tlnal rwisr at

The Butchies,
;
North Carolina may be responsible for producing tobacco, redneck jokes and even
some crazy brothers bonded by flight, but they are also responsible for the dreamy
dyke punk band, the Butchies.
.
.
In their uniform Dickies and button up shirts, the Butchles, made up of
singer/guitarist Kaia Wilson, bassist Alison Martlew, and dru~~er Melissa York,
will be rocking their way out to the West Coast, to play Olymplas Capitol Theatre
on April 17.
"We're super excited to get back ou t there and rock!" says Martlew, on behalf of t~e
band, Only a mere week into their first national tour in a year and a half, the Butchles
already feel at home. "It's been kind of a settling period, but it's been going pretty
.
good. We're getting comfortable with each other ~gain."
Since their first release Are we not Femme? m 1998, the Butchles have become
way more than comfortable. York and Wilson already a team from their days in Team
Dresch, recruited "Big Al" for a perfect match. "We're all such great friends!" exclaims
the usually quiet Martlew, when asked about the band's chemistry, "It's a great example
of a relationship that works, We deal with things in such a mellow way."
The Butchies are far from mellow on the stage, however,
With energy that is an onstage phenomenon, the band is incredible to wit~ess
firsthand. As York wildly hits her drums, it's not unusual for her to break mto
spontaneous story telling. As this takes ~lace in the ~ackgroun~, Wilson performs.her
various 80's hair-band guitar moves, while Martlew IS left shakmg her head, laughmg.
Their intensity is definitely contagious,
With their nelt album Come n' Get It slated for release this fall, their current tour,
and a successful indie reputation to uphold, the Butchies have a lot of things to be
excited about. The trio of punk veterans calls their newest ~ffort the best by far, an~
makes no bones about it. "I feel like you can see the growth m how we play together,
says Mardew. "We weren't afraid to embrace a cer~ain pop element..Thing.s are .much
more thought out. " Though the album took twice as long as their prevIOus JunIOr
release 3 the band feels the time has been well spent.
While working on their own albums, the Butchies have teamed up with fellow
gay activists and Southerners, the Indigo Girls .. While touring together in 1999,
the Butchies befriended Amy Ray and Emily Sailers, and have been close ever smce.
"They're both such amazing people, " says an admiring Marltew. In early 2000, ~he
Butchies also played on Ray's solo album Stag, and toured with her the foll o~lng
year. I f all goes as planned, they will do the very same for the newest I ndlgo G irlS
album, which will be here late r this year.
Along with touring, Wilso n has other things on her mind. She and her parrnerrun
their own independent label, Mr.Lady Records and Video. An ope ration gea red towards
queer artists, Mr. Lad y began in 1988 to give a v<:ice to a powe rful, but unt apped
co mmunity. Now, with arti sts li ke th e Butchl es, Le rlgre and th e Haggard Signed on
th e label, th e outfi t is a respected part of the independent lab(·1 CirCUit.
.
As the Butchies tornado their way to th e West C oast, little that cros~es then path
will be left unscathed . Ears will be rocked , and smiles will break out amo ng th e crowd .
Prepare yourselffor the whirlwind th at is the Butchies.
.-How to Meet Women
at the Protest
SatirebvLeeKepraios
If you're anything like me, you go to prot:sts for one thing an.d one thing only: to meet
women. I can also understand if you go to pick up men, If that IS your preference. For me
however, 1 tlnd that there's no better place to cruise around, put out the vibe and meet a ni ce,
laid back, headstrong young lady. Protests attract a very special type of girl. The kind you don't
take home to mother. It is said that if you want to meet someone, you have to go where the
peo ple arc . You have to go where it's hip and up-tempo. Everybody wants
to be hip. These days, the hip places are protests. They have trounced the local bar and
taken its place as the number one American meeting spor. ~ut be~use 1 want all people to
share the wisdom and council I was so lovingly endowed With, I Will now share my strategy
here with you on how meet women at protests. After all, why else go'

Oh yeah. Well first of all, I think that it is safe to say that most people have at

grasp some sort of obscure wisdom. It might be trivial to others, but it is wisdom
~ Iess. This little bit of wisdom is what 'we hope to tap by invoking the character
Ictional, yet not-really-so fi ctional uncle.
How many uncles do you have?

And their wisdoms?

ce rtainly not least, 18'" century wilderness survival and liquor.
Interesting that intoxicants playa role in everyone of their descriptions.
Well , intoxication is the spice of life, no?
heir incompetentcy derive from?
Hah aha. .. really though , where. else
Good point. What exactly is this production aga in ?
Essentially, it is a lovely mixture of music, dance and theater set amongst a
p of the future . I have this funny feeling that after some shit goes down over the
Ie years, we will be ushered into a time of creativity and wonder, magnificence
~ i c, and most importantly, confusion and bliss. A renaissance for a new century,
nention a new millennium. That upcoming time is one we hope to create over
rse of these performances. It might be hell sometimes, but that sulfuric hint in

It's almost as if the flywheels at the Happy Madisol/ gag factory felt that Adam Sancl!t:r
had drifted too far away from that demented screen persona which auJi.:nces applaud
with unconditional familiarity. They probably felt that his work in the outstanding
PT. Anderson film, Punch-Drunk L01Je resulted in the loss of part of his loyal f.1n base.
Therefore, they had to get him back on track with the holiday cartoon 8 Craz)' Nigh ,s
and the new Anger Management, which even for a Sandler comedy, is a letdown . The
problem here is that an overqualified cast is given substandard material. A rerum to hi s
more innocuous, well-meaning but hot-tempered manchild, Sandler's Dave Buznik,
an ad copywriter for a pet publication that specializes in custom-clothing for ubese
cats, is wrongly diagnosed as a raging anger machine after an incident involving a flight
attendant on a plane. He's forced to go into ange r management therapy und.:r the
watchful eye of famed specialist Buddy Rydell, played by Jack Nicholson. N icholsu n ,
whose performance was the on ly thing trying to keep the movie funny, probably signed
on this project because he didn't want to consecutively appear in yet anot her brilliant
film and earn an unprecedented fourteenth Oscar nomination. Both actors are above
this kind of material. You know the writing is in bad shape when the movie uses a role
call offamiliar Sandler regulars and embarrassing celebrity cameos. No respectable actor
is safe: Luis Guzman, Harry Dean Stanton, Woody Harrelson, John C. Reilly, John
Turturro, Heather Graham and even former NYC mayor, Rudy Giuliani who sports one
of the most humiliating cameos I've ever seen. The sad thing is, this is a great premisenone of the virtually endless comic possibilities have been taken advantage of. This could
have been a stinging attack on the demonization of ange r and negative feelings in Pc.
America. The bit in the plane scene for example, started from a hilarious and insightful I
premise to which anyone can relate: the touchy, ever-oppressive airline industry. A scene I
where Nicholson and Sandler sing "I Feel Pretty" while stopped in the middle of
the Brooklyn Bridge is another reminder of the comedy th at could have worked and l
the chemistry that could have been. Nicholson's a delight and going over-the- top I
is welcome here. He brings such a freshness to each character he plays, H ere, he's
simply playing the material, doing his job. But there's no freshness or inn ovation
in the rest of Anger Management, onl y rhe usu al assortment of so phomoric gags and
painfully overdone cliches.

Decide what kind of protest you want to go to. If you're serious abou t this,
you have to know your subject. You have to at least be aware ~f what is being ~rotested
so that when you show up, you won't just stand around gawking and stan.ng hke a dog
does after it has been shown a card trick. You must choose a protest that SUits you. Make
sure it's for something pertaining to the world today on a grand scale. Do not waste time
with the picayune. You won't meet very many nice women at a 'protest f~r the benefit of
disgruntled jockeys who are rallying against mistrea~ment and being submiSSively unnated

So when Oberst began last Saturday's
show at the Showbox with a song about
walking away from friends, fa mily, and
fame, I knew indie's wonderboy had done
some soul-searching. The song, tentatively
titled, "If You Walk Away, I'll Walk Away, "
was a true treat for anyone who has followed
the evolution of Bright Eyes. Hitting on all
of his hot topics (the war in Iraq, his newest
fictional muse Laura, his newfound fame,)
Oberst has written a song that perches
him on the edge of understanding, unable
to fathom the world or hi s place in it.

~ Everg ree n S ra re Co ll ege Me n's
;se Tea m is w rapp in g up irs Em
as a n inre rco ll eg ia te club tea m .
:am h as co m peted in seve n gam es
thi s seaso n, ra kin g on team s fro m
n iversity o f Pu ge t So und , Lew is
l a rk Coll ege, Will a m e n e College
inE eld C ollege. The eighth a nd
ame will be at home thi s Saturday,
19th. Though Eve rgreen has o nly
ne of its games, against Willamette
:e at h o me, it is acknowledged by
)n e in th e league that thi s first
has bee n bener than any other
first season in the history of our
. This is promising.
mpri s ing the t e am is a mix of
~ nced players and players new to
ne altogether. This has proved to
eat combination . The experienced
s have bee n a ble to explain a nd
l srrate the gam e for those who
ever played before , while the new
; h ave d evelo ped at an incredible
p ace. Indeed , so m e of th e key playe rs
o n the team ha ve bee n th ose wh o joined
th e tea m immedi a tel y before o r just afte r
th e first gam e of th e seaso n . The level of
play h as progressed m a rkedl y th ro ughout
th e season , and is evident in th e number
of goals that have come fro m new players
III rece nt games.
Lac ro sse is a gam e o f speed , fitn ess
a nd fin esse . There are three primary
positions , each with a squad o f three:
defense, midfield, and anack. There is
also a goalie. Evergreen's defense squad
h as proved itself as tough , fast, a nd able
in the league thi s year. All of th e players
on the defen se squad have expe rience
playing lacrosse . The attack position
in lacrosse requires fast feet , good stick
skills and the ability to shoot well . The
position revolves around the other teams
goal, a nd is the main scoring position .
Eve rgreen has h ad luck with experie nced
and able a ttackme n throughout the year.
The midfield position requires stamina
a nd speed m ost o f all. Midfield is th e
o nly positio n that cove rs th e' e ntire field.
All o f th e pl aye rs o n Eve rgreens midfield
squad a re n ew [0 the ga m e thi s seaso n ,
o r h ave ex p e ri ence only fro m las t year.
T h a t sa id , th e re a re so m e e xtre mely
a thl eti c a nd ca pable players that have
bee n instrumental in helping the team
progress. The team's goalie has b een a
lifesaver, making remarkabl e, and often
se nsational, saves all season .
The team's coaching staff has pushed
the tea m as well as built a commined
group of players. C hris Otto coached the
team last year when playing in a league
was just a pipe dream. He continued
to co ach this year, and has commined
an enormous amount of his own time
and energy to helping create the most
successful first year lacrosse team in
PNCLL (Pacific Northwest College
Lacrosse League) history. Go Ishii , a
former Evergreen student, was not able
to play because of his non-student status.
That came as a shock in the beginning
of th e season , since Go played for the
Japan ese N ation al Team and h as stick
skill s th a t a re un co mpromi sed in the
The Sub- Urban

PN CL L. It is also unfortun a te beca u se
the Eve rgree n lac ross e team was initiall y
sta rted by Go last year. Go was, howeve r,
able to be th e ass istant coac h this ye:l r,
a nd his ex pe rience has been invalu:lbl e
to both the n ew a nd ex pe ri e n ced p layers
on th e tea m .
As th e seaso n com es to a close, eve ryone is proud of th e progress that th e team
h as made . One o f the most important
and touching things is the support the
team has received from fa ns. At the first
home game, fifty to sixty peo ple showed
up to cheer the tea m on, :lnd Evergreen
proved victorious . The most recent
two home ga mes have see n the suppo rt
dwindle, but that can be attributed sol ely
to the weather. The Evergreen Men's
Lacrosse Team is gaining m o m e ntum
and if trends from this season continu<:
next season, Evergreen will prove itself
a w o rthy competitor in the PNCLL.
C ome out and cheer this Saturday, and
watch both a great game and the beginning of an Eve rg ree n tr3dition.

Frank Black at the Eastside Low Down on o-town:
by Rev Chris AltenblJrg
I woul d as k yo u what the fuck yo u we re thin king if you missed thc Frank Black and the
CarholiC5 show on Saturday, bu t that would be sim pl y hea rtl ess beca use th e show was sold ou t.
Did n't wa nt to see Frank because he's old and yo u don't like his so lo wo rk that muc h' Tha t's
yo ur loss- rhe , how was fa bulous and deserved to be sold out. Listen, I'm probab ly never
going to see Pink Floyd or the T., l king Heads, bur I've still see n really good Roge r Waters and
Davi d Byrn e shows. Would you rather listen to Pi xies songs th an the Ca th oli cs? o r co urse
yo u would , beca use they arc ge nerally bette r; however, if you would have attend ed th e show,
you wo uld have not onl y hea rd Bl ack tunes like "Los An geles" an d "Headache," bu t also
Pi xies classics like "Monkey gone to Heave n," "Ni mrod 's So n," "Gouge Away," and " T he
Holid ay So ng." Who reall y ca res if you are listenin g (Q a track wr itten by Frank Black or Bl ack
Fra ncis because, if I remember correctl y, hi s real nam e is somet hin g li ke C harles Thompson .
Ir nothin g else, it was wo rth the price of admi ssion JUSt (Q see how a big show like thi s wou ld,
or wo uld n't, work o ut in a 've nue' such as th e Eas tside,
T he 's tage' was in the back right corner where it usually is at th e Eastside. However, rhe
perfo rm ers were much more renow ned than usua l acts. The pool and air hockey tab les were
cove red with boa rds so th at th e audience co uld sit, stand , or dance on them. Well maybe
that 's no t why they were covered bu t thaI' is d efinit ely what wound up hap pening with them.
I was as(Q ni shed by how good th e sound was in the Eastside co nsidering th at, as far as I know,
it was built (Q be a tave rn and not a place for li ve shows. T he bar also had plenty of othe r
be nefits. In a venue thaEconstantly has live acts, the drinks are ge nerall y taxed prcrry hard co re
cost ing yo u an arm , a leg, and possibly
eve n a too th to gel somel hi ng even as
simple as a whiskey SOUL AI th is show,
I drank $8.25 p itchers of Hazeln ut and
O rchard St. Stouts all ni ght with the
same kids th at I used to listen to thi s
mu sic with in juni o r high and h igh
school. T he staff was, for the most pa rt ,
the sa me chill Eastside staff tha t's always
th ere and I was allowed to freely shOal
p hotographs all nig ht like ga ngster,
shoot 50 Ce nt. If you didn't get in, yo u
still cou ld have stood in th e back alky
by th e gated doo r where the secu rity
left you alone. From thcre. you co uld
hea r the show just as well a, Ih e people
inside an d probably see il hert er tha n ,
" or as wel l as, ha lf of Ih em. Hey, you
don't have to take my word for it; ,vou
co ul d a l way~ just ask m)' friend Sean
who came up from Kenl . He had a
great time dancing around drun k with
a crulch he borrowed from th c injured
girl that we mcr.
