Address Service Requested
tions against the Free Trade Area of the
Americas (FTAA), November 20 and 21,
people were subject to a massive amount of
state violence and oppression, yet the experience carried with it a very strong feeling
of solidarity, possibility, and love, We all
witnessed an extremely significant and truly
historic event that will have a lasting impact
on our country and the world .
During the FTAA protests we saw the
U.S. state drop its facade of democracy and
constitutional rights, exposing the bare bones
of its inherently repressive nature. Miami
was transformed into a militarized police
state funded by $8.5 million of the $87
billion that has been allocated by Congress
to the Bush regime's occupation and counterinsurgency war in Iraq. Those of us who
participated in the actions felt the alarming
consequences of civilian police forces transformed into'paramilitary units set on waging
a form of urban warfare against demonstrators and dissidents .
There were a number of disturbing tactics and strategies police chose to implement
during the FTAA protests that showcase how
the so-called "Miami model" represents the
next level of state repression. Downtown
Miami was transformed into a ghost town,
as police had set up checkpoints and road-
. .
blocks throughout the city that resembled
those of an oC'c upying force . In order to
control what information was released to
the general public about what was going on
in the streets, the police utilized a model of
embedding reporters within police units that
was similar to the model the military used
during the invasion of Iraq. Non-embedded reporters, such as those working for the
Independent Media Center, were routinely
harassed and targeted.
Independent media were targeted by
Miami police even before the meetings
and protests began . On two consecutive
days leading up to the meetings, the police
harassed the Information Clearing House,
a media center set up by the Floridian Fair
Trade Coalition (FFTC) in the Bayside Mall
at the behest of the corporate media, serving as a liaison point between independent
and corporate media. On the second day,
police, with neither permission nor a warrant,
violently pushed their way into the Clearing
House, looking for what they called "dangerous subversive elements," which, of course,
weren't found. [I]
During the afternoon of Thursday,
November 20, downtown Miami deteriorated into a chaotic battle-zone, but only after
the state chose to embark on an unprovoked
offensive. After the AFL-CIO m;lrch, the
--- , .....
..
'
' . ' v , ' '" '" . ,
paramilitary police launched a violent attack
against demonstrators in the streets that was
designed not to keep the peace, but to teach
those who chose to speak out a painful lesson .
Police did not even limit their abuse to th e
more vulnerable younger crowd ofperceived
"anarchists": they also intimidated the more
mainstream elements of the demonstrators.
Vans full of union members were prevented
by police from getting to the massive AFLCIO march (anywhere from 10,000 to 20,000
people), and afterwards, during the ensuing
mele~, union members were pepper-sprayed
for no apparent reason as they observed th e
police violence. [2J
Although attacking protestors is nothing
new for the state, the degree to which the
police in Miami relied on the brute force of
"non-lethal weapons" (an assortment of projectile weapons - such as rubber bullets, bean
bag rounds, and pepper-spray balls - fired
from shotguns and other firearms, as well
as electric tazers, concussion grenades, and
wooden baton blows) is a startlingly clear
example of the escalated, disproportion al
response police will choose to implement
on peaceful dissenters. How divorced the
police response was from anything resembling a threat that would justify such force
is a sobering suggestion of where the U.S.
government is taking society: a place where

It's close to the holidays, but in mainstream society, we see only advertisements for Christmas, and sometimes Hanukah. But there is another
holiday that is celebrated by thousands of Americans.
Kwanzaa is an African-American and Pan-African holiday, which celebrates family, community and culture. Celebrated from December 26
thru January 1, its origins are in 'the first harvest celebrations of Africa, from which it takes its name. The name Kwanzaa is derived from the phrase
"matunda ya kwanza" which means "first fruits" in Swahili, a Pan-African language which is the most widely spoken African language.
Kwanzaa was established in 1966 in the midst of the Civil Rights Movement and thus reflects its concern for cultural grounded ness in thought
and practice and the unity and self-determination associated with this. It was conceived and established to serve several functions.
Kwanzaa was created to introduce and reinforce seven basic values of African culture, which contribute to building and reinforcing family, community and culture among African-American people as well as Africans throughout the world and in African communities. These values are called
the Nguzo Saba, which in Swahili means the Seven Principles. Developed by Dr. Karenga, the Nguzo Saba stand at the heart of the origin and meaning of Kwanzaa, for it is these values which are not only the building blocks for community but also serve to reinforce and enhance them.

Wolf Haven: a wildlife
photos by Tim Simmons
photographer's dream
by Dave Stiles
On Wednesday, November 19, I had
the fortune of being one of seven lucky
people to attend one of the first photo
tours at Wolf Haven International. This is
only the firsttime they allowed photographers up to three hours, using tripods
and telephoto lenses, the time to set up
and capture images of the wolves. While
the photographers worked with their
equipment, staff members monitored
the wolves for signs of stress from the
intense activity where there is normally
none.
Wolf Haven is a refuge located just
outside the town of Tenino, Washington,
set among the Mima mounds and prairie
land of southeast Thurston County. Their
goal of wolf conservation started back in
1982, when they began to provide and
care for captive wolves that could not
survive if released back into the wild .
This non-profit organization is known
worldwide as a prem ier sanctuary and
wolf education and conservation facility.
Wolf Haven receives animals from overwhelmed private owners and crowded
zoos, providing a safe haven for the rest
of its residents' natural life. Through the
years, over 100 wolves have been pro-

convinced that "free" trade is a good idea, so
we are beaten into submission.
By taking to the streets and peacefully
struggling in solidarity with movements
around the hemisphere - and the world - we
have exposed the profoundly exploitative and
undemocratic nature ofneoliberal institutions
such as the FTAA and corporate globalization
in general. The events in Miami showcase the
extremely repressive tactics that the U.S. state
is willing to exercise in response to peaceful
protestors. It illustrates precisely how the
"democratic" Constitution is being scrapped
by the state in favor of a militaristic regime.
The " Miami model" has shattered any veil
of legitimacy this imperial power structure
may have once possessed, and we are witnessing it fall back on more crude methods
of maintaining the status quo as it lashes out
in, desperation .
More evidence of state desperation lies
in the FTAA agreement that trade delegates
reached. The "FTAA Lite" or "FTAA a la
carte'~ .model that was agreed upon by the 34
countries represented in Miami bears little
resemblance to the all-encompassing hemispheric constitution originally envisioned
for the FTAA, and it is very unlikely that an
" FTAA Heavy" will be implemented by its
2005 deadline.
This is quite contrary to what the u.s.
and dominating multinational corporations
wanted. In an atmosphere that rendered the
sought-after expansive trade deal improbable,
if not impossible. delegates optedfor a weakened FTAA deal rather than gelling no deal at

se//led for a substantially weakened agreement in an attempt to show signs ofprogress.
although little was actually made.
The agreement is another sign of the
massive obstacles that proponents of corporate neoliberal 'globalization are facing as
popular movements around the world resist
this agenda and ideology and pressure their
governments to stand up to the US and other
dominant capitalist powers. Although the
efficacy of the demonstrators in Miami is up
for debate, it is obvious that popular movements overseas are playi ng a strong role in
reigning in neoliberalism. As Naomi Klein
has said, the expansive original draft of the
FTAA agreement "was killed not by demonstrators in Miami, but by the populations of
Brazil, Argentina, and Bolivia, which have let
their politicians know that if they sign away
any more power to foreign multinationals,
they may as well not come home." [10]
Our demonstrations and action s in Miami
were systematically intimidated, disrupted ,
and, without provocation , attacked, yrt our
spi rit has not been crushed, and we have made
it clear that the resistance cannot be contained
and will stand in solidarity from inside the
imperial state with all those oppressed and
exploited around the globe. This grassroots
globalization ofpopulilr movements is eroding
the pillars ofneoliberal capitalism and undermining U.S . attempts at supreme hegemony.
This is why we witnessed the state flip out and
launch a militarized police riot in the streets
of Miami. As some graffiti from the Seattle
WTO protests read: " We are winning."
vided with sanctuary, along with a handful of other canids. By the end of 2003
there will be a total of thirty-five wolves
at the facility, with the latest seven gray
wolves arriving from California this
week.
Not all of the animals are on the tour,
though, since some are just arriving and
have yet to be integrated, while others
are being prepared for release in the
future where socialization now would
hinder a successful release.
All of the wolves are nonnally surgically sterilized so they cannot reproduce
(but are still able to enjoy mating season)
except for those destined for release. For
this reason the tours are not conducted in
February, when the wolves become more
aggressive and less tolerant of human
intrusions.
Wolf Haven is only one of three prerelease facilities used in the reintroduction of Mexican gray wolves to the wild.
In the last three years Wolf Haven has
released two family groups that appear
to be doing extremely well.
When visiting Wolf Haven , you are

Come watch the wolves ... before they wolf you down.
By Mike Treadwell
On Thursday, November 20 in Lecture Hall Four, this amateur news reporter
covered a presentation on " Conscience and War."
The presentation was about the " DEP: Delayed Entry Program," or at least that
was what was written on the chalk board. I showed up an hour and a half late so
details were slow to come to me.
.
The presentation was put on by the Student groups Sesame (Students Educating
Students about the Middle East) and Common Bread (htp://www.tchme.org/).
There was a third group that was from Olympia called the Olympia Fellowship of
Reconciliation (http ://www.olyfor.org/).
The main speaker was J.E. McNeil , the executive director from the Center on
Conscience and War (National Interre li g ious Service Board for Conscientious
Objectors, at http ://www.nisbco .org/). She gives talks around the country about
military regulations and who or what circumstances qualify as an objector to a war.
Her main focus was on the D.E.P. and what that exactly entailed. T he definition to
a Conscientious Objector was written o n the board : "Conscienti o usly opposed to
participation in war in any form based on a si ncere belief." "The most important
Olympia's L.,rgesllndependcnl BO(,lkstore
thing" , sa id McNeil, "to remember about a conscientious objector is that it is an

Although there haven't

been allow many of the heavens '
sights to shine through. This week
I present a few of winter 's easily
recognized constellations for your
viewing. I have the stars represented by dots and the constellation connected by lines, so you can
see what the ancient Greeks saw
when they first mapped the sky.
These constellations are located all
over the sky. [ challenge you find
them on the next clear night.
There are not many other events
going on this week. Sunspot 866
has crossed the face of the sun
again without incident. and the
Leonid meteor shower that I
encouraged you all to watch was
an unexpected flop. Although
there are no major meteor showers expected for another few
weeks, always look up to see
if there are any rogue meteors
shooting through our upper atmosphere. Until next week, Happy
Viewing!

The Definite Article: The Technique of Titling
by Allison Arth
ris~ was the air'on that wintry day in 1925 when a struggling young author put the finishing touches on his brilliant manuscript entitled
TrunalchlO. Narrated 111 the second person, Trimalchio was the poignant and perplexing story of a rakish playboy's tragic downfall. Mcre
months later, the novel was published, and has since become a pillar of American literature.
But I bet you've never heard of Trimalchio.
Why? Well, because thenovel wasn't published under that title. In a last-minute decision, author F. Scott Fitzgerald threw out the title
"Trimalchio"; he assumcd the allusion would be lost on most people. Fitzgerald figured his readership wouldn't know that the novel's
protagol1lst was a modem version of the original profligate party-boy, Trimalchio, a Roman patrician who hosted lavish and lascivious
banquets in Petronius' Satyricon. So old F. Scott settled on a more bourgeois-friendly title: The Great Gatsby.
Now, I'm sure you've heard of thaI. The title "The Great Gatsby" is simple, easy- very clear. It also bears a bit ofmystery- it leaves the
potentIal reader wondenng, "What's so 'great' about him')" and "Gatsby-man or pasta'?" Indeed, the title prompts questions. It intrigues,
entIces, even compels readers to read, to lind out what makes Gatsby so great. And, cven if it isn't as aurally and intellcctually appcal ing
as "Trimalchio", It sure is a lot easier to say, and it doesn't limit its audience to members of the Junior Classical League and the cast of f,
Ctaudills.
•
It's true: titles go a long way. An efTective, attention-grabbing and attention-~olding title can persuade a potential reader to dive headlong into your masterful dissertation
on Treasure fsland or your dlvInelY-lIlsplred treatIse on the chIckpea. Really' ThInk about it this way: had William Golding titled Lord o(lhe Flies something like ThaI s /tJor
Plf{gy or Th~ Day f Went Feral, the novel wouldn't be as renowned as it is today. While these alternate titles do provoke questions, they are not nearly as intriguing as "Lord
o/the Fli es.
, See, Golding's title offers both poetry and mystery; the tension between the soft and hard sounds makes the title simplistic and acoustically balanced, and the word choice
gIves It an oxymorolllc feel. That is, the usc of the word " lord" connotes images of power and royalty- even divinity- and when juxtaposed with the low and filthy image of
a fly, the reader IS .Ieft wondenng about thc qualIty of that ImplIed sovereIgnty. Indeed, pleasing sounds and questions abound, and potential readers are persuaded to read.
, Now, I know thIS may sound tnckstcnsh- "pcrsuadmg" readers to read, and all that-but the bottom line is this: you'rc writing to communicate, and if you can't even convmce your audIence to read beyond your title, you're not really doing your job. So, here are a few tips on how to craft effective- and intriguing- titles :
1) Be clever, yet clear. Wit is always appreciated , but wit can hIm into a pit if you're not careful. Since your title is a distillation of your entire piece, you want it to be as
clear and comprehensible as possible. I f your reader is blinded by witticisms, she probably won't see your point, either- and that, my friend, is a problem.
2) Be original, 7~t understandable. Your title should be original, but not so original that only you and your friend gct the reference. Steer clear of inside joke-inspired titles ;
a reader who Isn t In the loop wIll stare qUI ZZIcally at your strange title and then move on to the next piece of writing .
Be poetic, yet practical. If you get lost in ~our own beautiful words, chances arc your reader will, too. While it is important to craft a title that is aurally alluring, it is more
Important to concentrate on gettIng your maIn Idea across.
4) ~~ brief, yet complete. Too-,Iong titles are bad. Period. I f it takes your reader ten grueling minutes to get through your title, chances are she'll toss the piece aside ASAP.
Keep It short, sweet, and easy- a la Th e Great Galsby- but don 'j leave too much out. Remember, you're distilling your whole piece into a few well-chosen words .
5) Be intriguing, yet honest. Titling your research paper on rhizomes "f Mel Elvis Yesterday" in order to coax someone into reading it i,s lame. If you intentionally misrepresent
your work, you'll lose credibility. So don't manufacturc a title that has nothing to do with the content of the piece. Instead, craft a title that leaves something to the imagination- note Gatsby once again. Give you reader a reason to read your work .
?)
So go forth and makc titles. If you just follow these simple guidelines, you'll be well on your way to becoming the title-crafting whiz you always wanted to be. Hey, you
might even go so far as to make--darc I say it?- title waves.

Dear Fellow Students,
Today, December I, I decided to find out exactly what my $39 per quarter student
health fee is paying for.
This action was spurred by the Health Center's denial of what I felt was a basic,
student oriented service, namely, a physical examination for a study abroad application (no blood work necessary). I was shocked when a Health Center staffer told
me that this simple service was not offered, so I stopped by for some literature and
answers.
The literature is vague stating that the Student Health Center sees" ... students
for a wide range of health concerns." It goes on to generally describe a few issues
such as "colds & flu" and "reproductive health." Dolling outAdvil, Echinacea and
advice , such as what was on the front cover of the 20 November CPJ, is hardly
worth the money we pay to the health center.
When I asked the staffers, "Well, what DO you provide?" I was met with more
vague responses . A women replied that the biggest issues seen currently involve
acute care, but that they are backed up generally for as much as two weeks. They
have no specialists, so if your acute problem requires any special attention you mu~t
be referred out. My own experience after being hit by a car was exactly that: here IS
some medication, see a specialist if you have any pain, if you need Healing Touch
that is an extra charge. I tried to ascertain more regarding specific Health Center
services that are available but either I could not ask the right questions or there simply
are no answers because the services are indeed so limited and limiting.
When I asked about simple physicals, I was given what I conclude to be rather
inadequate excuses: there are too many acute care patients, people did not show up
for appointments and they simply have no time to offer them. They suggested a
local walk-in clinic that charges $85 for a physical with no bloodwork.
I believe it is very important to have a low-cost health center on campus, rather
than just a medical response team that is often found on other campuses. Certainly,
in keeping with the Evergreen ideals, the mission of the Student Health Center, "to
the development of lifelong learning about health," is proactive and empowering, but
it is extremely disempowering to realize that as a healthy female in need of student
oriented services there is nothing at The Student Health Center available for me.
The headline for the November 20 article written by a Student Health Center
person is "How to Get Better at Home form the Col4 & Flu," I see this as o~dly
appropriate since "home" is probably the only place you could get health s:rvlces.
I encourage people to stop by the Health Center and try to figur~ out ho~ It could
work for them in an effort to not feel like that $39 ($ll7 per academiC year) IS a waste
of money that you cannot waive while on campus and to demand ~lat the Health
Center accommodate the special needs of students. Talk to your fflends; chances
are they have had the same experiences and dissatisfaction as I have.

Ifyou ' ve visited the bookstore lately, you
might have seen the table stacked with blue
and green boxes, flanked by a sign stating
"Help Yourself.'· Yes, I'm talking about the
campus trial packs - blue for him and green
for her.
You might ask, what's so special about
a box of coupons and free samples geared
toward "post-adolescents"? Why should
di fferences between the two packs even
matter? Before I answer that question , let 's
first examine the contents of the packs.
Both do contain similar items, such as an
AOL trial, Garnier shampoo (dandruff for
him, fortifying plus conditioner for her), new
ice Breakers Unleashed gum (Mintesity for
him , Winteractive for her), and a bunch of
coupons, including ones for magazines, the
Animal House OVO contacts, and BMG
'
Music Service.
Another similar item is a sample DayQuil
and NyQuil , which included a double-sided
door hanger that also functions similar to a
white board. The only differences are the
captions: "I do it in my sleep!" and "1 keep
going and going! " for him, and "Guess who
I'm sleeping with?" and "I'm doing it all
day! " for her.
Remaining items in the bille box include
a sample of Adidas Skincare and Old Spice
deodorant, while those remaining in the
grecn box include yeast infection information and a Tampax pearl sample.
So what does all this stuff have to do
with ~ommercialism, other than implying
that guys have B.O. and girls should certain
brand of tampons? Quite simply, they reinforce the notions that sex sells and everyone's
body image/appearance should be a carbon
copy of one defined by society.
Commercialism , especially when dictated
by gender, deals not only with the marketing of products but how they are marketed,
which includes the research and study of
consumers. Market researchers compi Ie
their data into the "ideal" consumer and
market their product accordingly. For
example, distributing the trial packs for free
falls under the assumption - whether true or
not - that most college students have little
money and would benefit from the enclosed
products. And if they don't, it won't matter;
the fact that the samples and advertisements
are being seen will increase the likelihood
that they will eventually be purchased or at
least influence simila: products ' purchase. In
other words, It all bolls do~n to how lIterate
, researchers are about theIr ~onsumers and
the presumpti~ns acco,?panymg that, as well
as consumer lIteracy, If applIcable.
Gender-deternlined commercialism, as
in this case, uses certain products and or
advertisements to suggest a vanety of attltudes and assumptIOns - agam, whether true
<?r not - about consumers, such as women ~re
more conc~rned about sexual/reproductrve
health, whIle me~ sh"ould concentrate on
lookmg and smellIng.
. But seriously, don't worry about what
Isn't 111 y~ur green or blue box. That thmg

A Tale of Bed Bug
Horror
THE EVERGREEN
GRADUATION CHECKLIST
By Shawnell Johnson
By Greg Saunders
When I first arrived at Evergreen, I was a happy and eager freshman, ready for all
the challenges of college life. I had my own bedroom in Alphabet Soup and I couldn't
wait for thc year to begin. That was until the first night I slept in my bed. I could feel
myself getting bitten throughout the night, and in the morning, my ankles were dotted
with itchy, large, red welts.
I knew right away that I had been assaulted by a bed bug. Immediately, I reported the
incident to Housing, and they were all over it since I was the first case of bed bugs this
year. They gave me the keys to a room on the tenth floor of A Building, and I moved
myself and my one change of clothes into it. I wasn't exactly thrilled to be living in the
hot and smelly A Dorm , and my situation became even more atrocious when I leal'l1cd
that the adjoining bedroom was inhabited by a guy.
Our doors both led into a bathroom that could only be locked from the outside. NOT
the inside. So each time I had to pee, I would knock tentatively on the door to make
sure I wasn ' t about to witness a naked boy stepping into the shower or anything and
then I wou Id try to pee as quickly as possible, constantly in fear that my neighbor would
come in at any moment. Going #2 became immensely burdensome (as one can easi I)'
imagine). so I instead relied on other people's toilets. I became a bathroom nomad ,
and it was stressful.
Hous ing was qu ick about return ing all my laundered clothes. However, in the whole
mess they lost my most beloved pair of jeans, a rad Che Guevara T-shil1 and a seventydollar hoody. They promised to reimburse me for the items, but I have yet to receivc
a check and it has been over a month.
There is no doubt that having bed bugs is annoying and unpleasant, but I think there
can be a more effective way of handling the situation. I later found out my room had
already been heavily infested before I moved in when a student lived there over the
summer and failed to report it, so I had to endure the consequences. I think it should
be mandatory that all rooms in housing be checked thoroughly before anybody movcs
in. If that involves having somebody sleep in the room themselves to test it, then so be
it! It's much better than having to evacuate two entire floors of A Building and uproot
students from their homes.
The first year of college is difficult enough and there shouldn't be any other inconveniences being put in on top of homework and everything else. Tiny little blood-filled
bugs should not be a major factor in our lives, and I know that for a lot of people it
has been. I finally got to move back into my original room about three weeks after
the initial outbreak, and the bugs have not come back. I'm lucky I dealt with this at
the beginning of the year and am not in the situation anymore, but I feel bad for all the
freshmen that are going through it right now.
I know Housing is doing its best, but I think that early detection is the most importar,l t aspect in keeping this problem under control. and there can be more precautions
taken than there are. So all you refugees who are being quarantined right now, keep
your chins up! Remember, if you notice any bloodstains on your sheets, bites on your
body, or feel itchy during the night, feel very sorry for yourself, because the bed bugs
have found you!
This is a list of things that every greener should accomplish before graduating. It's not
really all that hard to do . I' m only a second year student and I have already completed
thirteen of these, but I guess I've always been an overachiever. Anyway, have fun'
1. Get an infestation of bed bugs while living in the dorms.
2. Put your hair in dreadlocks and then cut them off some time before graduation.
3. Smoke a joint the size of your wrist.
4. Attend a protest. (Bonus points if the protest is in Seattle and you get shot by
rubber bullets .)
5. Embrace socialism.
6. Bug a tree.
7. Make your own clothes and/or replace your wardrobe with clothes from the fre e
box.
8. Receive an MIP. (Bonus if you resist arrest and get pepper-sprayed as a res ult,)
9, Have a conversation with " Bible Jim " or similar Christian fundamentali sts.
10. Learn first-hand about the se mi-poisonous members of the Fun gal Kingdom .
11. Realize you ' ve been lied to by the U.S. government all ofyollr life.
12. Befriend the raccoon that has been eating out of your compost bin. (Bonus po int s
if you get rabies.)
13. Play with bioluminescent plankton at the beach.
14. Unintentionally offend someone.
15. Adopt the saying "y ' all" instead of ' 'you guys" to be gender inclu sive .
16. Fill in both male and female bubbles on a survey to fight the binary gender
system.
17. Become a vegan . (Bonus points if you take it a step further and become a
Fruitarian.)
18. In a moment of stoned weakness, eat a dozen Nestle bars, despite the fact that
you learned in class that they were made from cocoa bought at sweatshop prices
from a third world country in South America. .
19. Bu Iishit your way through sem inar because you d idn 't read the book.
20. Receive credit in a program for at least one of the following: yoga, hacky-sack or
Frisbee, something involving puppets. (Bonus points if you build your major around
one of these options.)
2 f. Despite signs of prohibiting nudity, go get naked on the beach. (Bonus points if
one of the naked old men that frequent the beach starts stalking you as a result.)
22. Become an MP3 pirate .
23. Playa game of moose and wake up somewhere you don't remember going to .
24. Figure out all of the answers and puzzles on the underside of Olympia stubby
bottle caps.
25 . After turning in a disastrous research paper, thank whatevcr deity you consider
holy that this school has no grades.
The Curmudgeon: Fight the Twenty
Bv Lee Kepraios
The latest crime perpetrated against American Cinema today by the flywheels running the theater chains is a new blockade of advertising in the fonn of a hiply packaged and precisely orchestrated medley of ad refuse called "The Twenty."
If you happen to show up to a movie before it starts, you arc treated to a revolting smorgasbord of commercials for COs, trailers for awful new sitcoms, military propaganda and
mind numbingly inartistic short films by anxious new directors sponsored and funded by Coca-Cola in exchange for a free plug. And keep in mind: all this plays before the ten minutes
of official ads they screen before the previews that precede the film.
See the problem here? People don't want to sit through thirty minutes of ads before a movie that's already probably not worth the $8.50 anyway. Aside from being gratuitous and
annoying, it's also an insult to the American movie-going public. Not only must I learn to enjoy loud noises, things blowing up and Colin Farrell when I go to a movie, I had better
like the commercials beforehand as well.
Time slots before movies have become the prime target for companies looking for marketing and advertising spaces for their products. Like public transportation, they have a captive
audience, and the ads preceding a film have become bigger, longer, more cinematic, and exorbitantly more annoying. I asked a local chain theater's shift manager (the highest person
on the ladder I could speak to) why they agreed to go ahead and incorporate "The Twenty" into their agenda when they know it repels possible consumers, alienates them and makes
them scorn the products, and she told me, quite flippantly if I remember correctly, that it was not her decision, but the decision of her "boss." That was all she would give me.
And calling it "The Twenty" is just the biggest insult. It sounds designed to make the average dumbass audience members feel like hip entertainment business-savvy insiders. From
the time it stars till the time it finishes, I feel like I would rather be on whisky and PCP while receiving a double root canal in Calcutta with a rusty butter knife from a nervous dentist
who doesn't believe in anesthesia than sitting there in that theater.
Ad monstrosities like "The Twenty" are part of a new breed of elements that make even the act of going to the movies a thoroughly depressing experience. The whole movie industry
has become one big steaming shitpool of advertising. Watching a movie in a theater is supposed to be an experience, a magical freezing of time where you surrender you senses to the
joys of light through celluloid for a few hours of your life.
Now you are simply just purchasing a product. The forlorn herds that roam the multiplexes shuffle past the ticket counters, stroll through the lineup, joylessly selecting which
product they are choosing to purchase, ready as ever to watch commercials. The ads are not there to bring you into the feature. The feature is there as a cushion before the next new
set of fresh ads.
This is where you come in. We have to rub "The Twenty" out of movie-going history. This is really the only cause I feel passionately about. We need to restore the charm and
'dignity to the act of going to the movies. But one thing I've noticed about Evergreen students is that Ihey seldom latch on to a cause unless it gives them the opportunity to stand on
street comers, hold up signs and shout tag lines from a hundred thousand years ago . Well , this is the kind of battle we have to fight with collective letters to the theater chains. I sent
one in myself and I'll try to get it printed in the CP] as soon as I can. I'm telling you, this can be done. And The Curmudgeon is rarely optimistic.
Lee's new Rule of the Week: Stop complaining about the Weapons of Mass Destruction! I'm tired of hearing people whining, "Where are the weapons? Where's bin Ladin ?"
As jf these people are somehow blessed from birth with a better ability to find cave-dwelling skinny guys on dialysis hiding along the Afghani border. Unfortunately, folks. findin g
the weapons will take as long as it takes. But The Curmudgeon has a quicker solution. You know whom we should send into these countries to search? You know who could find the
weapons? Homeless. I say we round up all the homeless and fly them overseas. Homeless know how to find shit. Anyone that can scrape out a new cardboard home and a Sunday
brunch from a dumpster behind the Del taco can find a couple scraps of weapons-grade plutonium. I' ll bet you anYlhing that if you sent all the homeless to the middle east , they' d
come back with not only the WMDs, but Saddam Hussein , bin Laden, al-Qaeda officials, Amelia Earhart, Jimmy Hoffa, Kennedy assassination evidence, the Roswe ll UFO , the mi ss in g
eighteen minutes of the Watergate tape, the recipe for Coca-Cola, and the freezers from below the American embassies where they keep Dick Cheney 's extra hearts.

"Corner)) controvers~ raises
tood service Issues
By Kenuri Breshel1l
......
Know Yqur Fair Trade Coffee on Campus!
i
by Lloyd Wilson
II seems like there has been a lot of talk
about the Corner lately, since it changed
management over to Bon Appetit this fall.
As a recent transfer student, I never got to
experience the Corner in its collectively
run, (mostly) independent glory. I have
been learning about it, though. since my
group chose it as a subject for our documentary project. as an assignment for our
program, Power, Politic s and Media. It
brings up some compelling and complex
issues that turn out to run much deeper than
the single instance of the Corner.
The basic thrust of our documentary
is that community-oriented food sources
are superior to p,'olir-oriented corporate
food se rvices. We wanted to show that
the Corner had s ig nificant mea ning as
a community center for generations of
Evergreen students, We also wanted to
connect it to the larger picture. and get
people to understand the power we are
currently giving up to large corporations
that increasingly have a monopoly over the
market of institutional food service. By
taking the mainstream, easier path of contracting out to large corporations, we lose
control over where our money goes. our
community relationships, and our range of
choices. Money spent on corporate products flows out of our local community, to
add to far away concentrations of wealth.
Local community flounders as the power
to make changes becomes more and more
concentrated in the hands of those distant
CEOs. As corporations drive out the small
local competition, our choices as consumers become progressively fewer and more
homogenous. Strip malls look about the
same everywhere; the same blah, and the
products found there are pretty much the
same crap everywhere.
Our point in the documentary is neither to romanticize the Corner, which
was admittedly not perfect, least of all in
the financial area, nor to vilify the Bon
Appetit people. I would like to make a
distinction here between the people that
work for Bon Appetit and the company
itself. To give them due credit, the food
that I have eaten there I have found to be
for the most part of higher quality than any
cafeteria food I have had before; although I
rarely eat there. because it is too expensive
for every day. The cost also is not their
fault. The conflict between my desire for
fresh, organic food and for it to be cheap is
something I will go into more later.
Bon Appetit is paid a " management
fee" to run the food service at Evergreen.
A ny profit they might make above that
price would go back to the school, so the
high cost of the food there has more to do
with the cost of good ingredients. labor.
etc. It should also be stressed that Bon
A ppetit did not "take over" the Corner.
The administration asked them to take
it over in order to make the meal cards
more useful, now that freshmen who live in
housing are required to be on a meal plan.
(Whether or not that policy is reasonable
is another matter altogether. I won ' t go
into that here.) The're is a Iinancial logic
to it from the point of view of the College
administration, although it is an unfortunate loss to our community.
While I believe the people at Bon
Appetit are doing a good job, I do not
believe that the company has any vested
interest in promoting the well-being of the
community at Evergreen, beyond their
ability to make a profit off us. Originally
a relatively "small" West Coast company,

Please consider this long-delayed - there has been much eminence and urgency for Evergreen students to know and understand that our coffee bought on campus contributes to economic and global justice. Although I assume that many of us are at least observant of what is being offered to us from food services, I believe now is ,a remarkably
significant time to introduce fair trade coffee onto ink space.
The FTAA (Free Trade Area of the Americas) negotiations recently held in Miami attempted to further expand free-trade zones to all of Central and South America and to
the Caribbeans. There, I witnessed thousands of our global citizens coming together to include our democratic voices from below, to resist such a dehumanizing agreement
that wi II further widen the gap between the rich elites and poor majo.rity. (This experience in Miami will entail another article in itself.) CAFTA (Central America Free Trade
Agreement), a more recently proposed free-trade agreement that covers countries of Central America, is a strategic step towards the hemisphere-wide FTAA and is anticipated
by the wealthy few to be set by the end of this year. It will further deny food security, democracy, workers' rights, and a healthy future to our families in Central America for
the advantage of business elites and multinational corporations. The final rounds of negotiations are set to be taking place this upcoming December 8-12 in Washington, D,C.,
and will once again bring great resistance among those who envision a more democratic, people-centered world .
At this point in my life, I think that anyone who isn't doing anything to create more justice is ultimately working toward creating more injustice.
Here, I feel that any and every action is absolutely necessary to further our students' conscience, knowledge, and inspiration of an alternative to a free trade model. And our
campus food service offers one of these stepping-stones: certified Fair Trade coffee .
Coffee is the most heavily traded commodity in the world after petroleum, and the U.S. is its largest consumer in the world. Yet the coffee farmers in producing countries
do not get to experience the real benefits of this trade through the co.nventional, free trade market that pours most of its profits into the middlemen (the coyotes) and the top
industries . As a result, many small coffee farmers receive prices for their coffee that are less than the costs of production, and leave them struggling everyday to feed their own
families and maintain their land. In the recent years, market coffee prices have been plummeting down to all-time lows while consumer prices have not been lowered. This
means that coffee companies are pocketing these profits while the struggling producer farmers remain further silenced, hidden, exploited, divested .
Well, now you have a choice: Sweats/rop coffee or Fair tra(ie coffee!
Fair trade coffee ensures a living wage regardless of the volatile market price, and offers mqre equitable lives for coffee farmers. Growing by more demands, consumers
in North America can now purchase fair trade certified coffee grown by farming cooperatives in Central and South America, the Carribean, Africa, and Asia. These coffee
farming cooperatives work directly with the purchasing companies, leaving out the middlemen and providing the farmers with the justice and dignity that they really deserve .
Through the fair trade certified criteria, framing cooperatives are also provided with essential credit to keep their farm between harvests. Buyers and producers agree on longterm relationships that ensure reliability and mutual aid and build a lasting and meaningful relationship between the producer and buyer. Through this alternative model of trad e
done fairly and democratically, farmers and their communities are able to provide their communities with education , health care, economic independence and environmental
stewardship. What is still needed to keep supporting fair trade commodities such as coffee are more educatio.n within communities and more demand from consumers, During
an unprecedented slump in world coffee prices, during a crucial time in where large free trade agreements are being negotiated undemocratically, and during a time
in where every single one of us can make a conscious decision towards a better world, fair trade has become more important than ever.
And our campus has already taken this initiative through offering our students Pura Vida coffee - a certified fair trade line that Further donates 100% of net profits and donations to fund programs that feed, educate and provide a safe environment for at-risk children living in coffee-growing countries.
You can lind fair trade coffee and tea in local co-ops and even in large super markets such as Thriftway and TOP Foods (due to large grassroots demand!) . Just look for thi s
label that certifies that the coffee was traded fairly and that it was grown responsibly.

The Zionist Occupation is a Post-Zionist
Preoccupation
by Jacob Rosenblum
On January 4, I am going to Israel with a program called "Birthright." Like other Jewfolks on the program, I will fly round-trip from New York to Tel-Aviv, meet all kinds
of Jews during a ten-day program, all at no expense to myself; the requirements are that you be Jewish and between the ages of 18 and 26. Then, for a $75 fee, I will extend my
return ticket three months, and spend the balance of winter quarter in Israel and the Palestinian Territories. I'm going to be working with folks in ISM Rafah while in Rafah,
and coordinating with Gush Shalom and the Israeli Committee Against House Demolitions while in Israel.
It is unl ikely that you would doubt that I am Jewish if you ever saw or heard a Jew in your life. And in the Diaspora, that is sti II the case: I am a true blue Jew. And if I told
you that the state of Israel is more problematic than it is useful, you might call me a self-hating Jew, or worse: an anti-Zionist. I would remind you that your memory is short,
my friend; even up to the creation of the state of Israel, most Jews were nolZionists. The state of Israel, like every national force, was not only imposed on an "other," it was
also forced on ourselves.
There is a very good reason why it gained po.pularity, and why the land of Palestine became centrally important to Jews. There was very real persecution throughout the
world, and Jews fled to Israel from Yemen, Poland, Nazi Germany, Russia, and Ethiopia (to name a few) seeking asylum. Many of these Jews were not Zionists, but their situation led them to the land of Palestine.
I am an anti-nationalist Jew in the Diaspora. Therefore, I am not an ardent believer in the state of/srael, because the state's primary focus never has been the wellbeing of-the
individual. This is clear especially in the disparities of how Jews from different backgrounds have been treated even by the government in Israel. The only way in which I am
a Zionist is that I do not believe in national borders, and therefore I do believe in the Law o( Return (this law, however erroneously it was named, allows any Jew to become a
citizen of/srael), because every country should be open to all those who wish to immigrate there, especially for folks who are experiencing persecution (accordingly, Palestinians
should also have access to citizenship).
Cut to 2003 : more Jews emigrated from what was the post-Soviet bloc to Germany than to Israel last year. What does that mean in terms of how well Israel is providing a
"homeland" for Diaspora Jews?
What I mean by "The Zionist Occupation is a post-Zionist preoccupation" is that the Occupation of Palestine is extremely problematic in the sense that it is antithetical to
post-Zionist hopes of how the world should be.
I could also say, "The Zionist preoccupation is a post-Zionist occupation," to mean there is very little space in the obvious discourse to be a Jew against the occupation, We
are apparently not part of the "Jewish lobby" (a point on which anti-Semites and AIPAC both agree), and while many Zionist Jews have no problem calling out against anything
criticizing Israel as being "an affront to all Jews, everywhere," we are marginalized and expected to understand our position as un- or underrepresented everywhere in the world.
and therefore speak with our one little meek voice against the torrents who disagree.
Many Jews will argue very strongly that it is essential for Jews to live in a Jewish state to be safe from persecution. I argue that the ultimate contradiction to the condition
of Diaspora Jewish persecution is not living in a Jewish state, but living in a pluralistic state where Jews are very close to Gentiles, and the survival and wellbeing of Jewish
people is a high priority for everyone in the society. Here 's to. no mo.re Holocausts: L'chaim.
.'
. <.
OJAtO, Olympia Jews Against the Occupation, is a group of Jews in Olympia who are exploring ways to build community and collaborate with Jews around opposition
to the occupation. If you're feeling even slightly Jewish and against the occupation, meetings are the first and third Mondays of the month at 7 p.m., at Mariah Arts (next to
Garfield Elementary). Email me at jake@redsolid.com or call 570.0823 for more info.

Saturday, December 6
Sometimes I really miss having
recess. There are days when I' m
tired of playing house and training
to be a grownup, and all I really want
to do is play tetherball, foursquare
and kickball all day long. But I can't,
because not only is it raining, I have
to go to work, then to class, then
home again to cook myself dinner
for one. Damnit.
Tetherball is a legacy in my family.
My mother was reigning champion
in her elementary school, and was
always excited to hear of a round
of games that I might play when I
was little. She would ask me about
strategies I employed, whether I used
the service wrap, or just waited for
the ball to come round as I leisurely
tapped it above my opponents head.
(My mother was evil like that and
would always place the ball just out
ofreach.)
/
But I'm getting ahead of myself
again. Hasn't everyone played tetherball at least once? Seen it played?
In my elementary school, we had four
tetherball poles, and there was always
a game going during our lunch hour
in fair weather. The pole is ten feet
high, at the top of which the ball is
'tethered to by a rope. You know what
I'm talking about now, don't you?
Sure you do. It's like volleyball, only
with a pole and two people.
So says the Total Tetherball web
page, "a complete tetherball reference" (http://www.toteth .com/) .
possession is everything. It makes
a huge difference whether you are
serving or receiving. They say, "In
the most common rules oftetherball,
one player serves, then either player
can hit the ball from that point on.
Under these rules, the server has an
immense advantage . She has complete control of the ball at the start
of the game, and if she's an advanced
player facing an opponent of equal
skill, she should be able to hit the ball
over her opponent each time it comes
around, wrapping it to with the game
without her opponent even toughing
the ball." Oh,my mother would be
so proud.
And that is the only rule I ever
knew about tetherball. That, and I
couldn't carry the ball , you had to
be sure to hit it, or else I'd be called
a cheater and no one would play
with me any more. Whatever. I'm
too grown up for recess now, and
it's raining anyway. Maybe I'll just
play tiddlywinks .

OLYMPIA, Wash. - The Evergreen
State College Men's Basketball teams
return to their home floor, three days
after scoring a school record 123
points on the road, did not go as
they wanted.
A 69-59 loss to the Lewis & Clark
College Pioneers (0-0 Northwest
Conference, 3-2 Overall) keeps the
Geoducks winless (0-2) at home and
2-3 overall as the month of December
begins.
Up through the first thirty-point
the fans got their moneys worth.
Both teams battled on the boards,
battled for good shots, and battled
for the lead . Then all of a sudden, at
23 points, Evergreen got stuck and
could not buy a basket. By halftime,
Lewis & Clark had taken a I3-point
lead, 39-26, based almost entirely on
Evergreen's 31 % field goal shooting,
3-of-16 (19%) from behind the three
point arc.
Before tonight, no single opposing
player had scored more than 26-points
against Evergreen this season.
Two Evergreen players had double
digit scoring numbers. Point guard
Karriem Fielding (Sacramento,
Calif.lBurbank H.S.) had 10-points
and forward Walter Tucker (Jackson,
Miss'/Wingfield H.S.) had a team
high 16-points.
