The word Pow-Wow comes from
an Algonquin word meaning Conjurer.
Originally Pow-Wows were gatherings to
cure disease and ensure successful battles
and hunts. It was also a means of getting
together to celebrate, meet old and new
friends, trade, and reaffirm traditions.
The Pow-Wow was more of an Eastern
and Plains Indian event. It was an event
that appealed to Natives across the country,
and eventually many tribal peoples became
participants to a lesser or greater degree.
The dances enacted and songs sung
depend on the region or country, so there
is a great deal of difference as to how they
are managed. The Pow-Wows also are a
meeting place for the young to learn traditional dances, which may not be a part of
their tribal traditions but are learned and
given, at times, a new twist. One used to be
able to tell the dancers apart by their dress.
The main style, cut and details of dress on
the dancers are useful for noticing tribal
affiliation and the kind of dance the dancers will be participating in. One example:
the Blackfoot natives had long headdresses
that determined their tribe, as opposed to
Navajos, who wear read moccasins.
As Native Americans take in what
our elders have to offer, we need to turn
to our familial experiences. I asked my
mom what it was like for her when she first
involved her self with the Pow-Wow and
how she came to realizing it's ok to participate. "I came into the Pow-Wow late,
1970s, and was told by my disgruntled
father that it wasn't our way and I really
should stop attending! Many of my new
friends were of different tribes and I really
enjoyed learning about them. I am Navajo
and grew up in a very insular environment.
My family was very protective, not wanting us to get hurt by any outside influences,
Native American or otherwise."
Last year at The Evergreen State
College Annual Spring Pow-Wow, I was
disappointed to note the lack of faculty,
students, and staff participating in celebrating the culture of the people who are of this
land. When the Native Student Alliance
offers an invitation into our cultures and
way of life, it is a real slap in the face
when the response is a lack of representation from our community. If Evergreen is
as devoted to community participation as
it claims, I would expect the faculty, students, and staff to step up and participate in
celebrating and experiencing the diversity
of the land they share. Attending the PowWow gives and opportunity to have a more
enlightened perspective to one of the most
misunderstood and forgotten holocausts
the world has experienced.
I write this brief editorial to the community of not only Evergreen but all people
who enjoy learning and experiencing this
conjoiner of enriched cultures. Not all
natives have appropriated this timeless
tradition; in fact, the Navajo lineage I come
from was not comfortable interacting with
this new method of "cultural weaving,"
and rightfully so. Native Americans like
most cultures, like to keep a sort of silence
or quietness about their cultural history.
Participation in the Pow-Wow is a sort of
realization that Natives have had to come
together and realize we're all part of the
same spring; we just get our water from
different wells.
So come and enjoy, share, and dance
with your fellow sisters and brothers at
the sixth annual Pow-Wow. Here on The
Evergreen State College campus in the
College Recreation Center, March 12

is a column designed to promote cultural diversity as well as understanding within the immediate
Evergreen community. Here, students of color may address any concerns or joys. It is a place for
students to share their unique cultural experiences with the rest of the Evergreen community. It is a
place of learning. It is a place of teaching. It is place of understanding.
We are looking for perspectives, opinion pieces, personal narratives, family histories, poems,
academic and social experiences at Evergreen — anything that relates to your life. By the way, the
pieces do not necessarily have to be related to Evergreen.
This column is reserved especially for the underrepresentedwho want a consistent "message board"
or medium to communicate and express to the Evergreen community. Just as there are guidelines for
other sections of the paper, the Voices of Color column also has a few. Tliey are as follows:
1) Must be a student of color.
2) The submission must be around but no more than 700 words per installation (it may be necesxarv to use more installments for longer submissions, or print two at once if they 're shorter).
3) The submission must specifically stale that this is for "Voices of Color." Remember, students
of any Sexual orientation or ethnicity have a voice in any section of the paper.
4) The deadline for submitting anything to this column as well as anywhere else in the paper is
Monday at 3 p. m.
5) The submission MUST include a name, number and email where you can be reached (for issues
of accountability).
I would strongly encourage those of you who are new to Evergreen and its surroundings to write
a short narrative of your experiences. Voices of Color would be a great place to start introducing
' yourself to the community while at the same time contributing to the community.

SESAME Film
festival
by Lucas CTamsen
by Heather Guyton
Students Educating Students About
the Middle East (SESAME) is proud to
present Cinemayaat: The M i d d l e East
Film Festival, screening from March 5 to
March 7 in the TESC Lecture Halls. This
event is free of charge and will include
documentaries, shorts and feature films as
well as fantastic artistic and-informational
presentations. We hope you will be able to
join us for some fantastic cultural learning
and entertainment. To entice you a little,
we want to highlight some of the amazing things that will be happening during
the festival.
A note about film selection: We used
the themes of women's issues, queer
issues, self-determination, and antiracism both to narrow our focus and to
provide a way to complicate and deepen
our views and understanding of the Middle
Eastern cultures. The themes of the festival were chosen for both their popularity
at Evergreen and the marginalization of
these groups and ideas within their own
cultures and countries. We looked at only
contemporary films an'd issues.
The festival will open on Friday with
Jenin Jenin from Palestine, in Lecture
Hall 3 at 3 p.m. This film seemed particularly relevant to self-determination issues,
and many Evergreen students have been to
Jenin. A question and answer session w i l l '
be led by two of them.
Oiir first evening showing on Friday
will be the fantastic feature film Rana's
Wedding from Palestine, in Lecture Hall
1 at 5:30 p.m. This timely feature explores
love among the ruins of an occupied territory and is the winner of the Human Rights
Watch International Film Festival's 2003
Nestor Almendros Prize for courage in •
filmmaking. According to film director
Assad, "When the abnormalities of barriers
and occupation become an everyday reality, normal things like love and marriage
turn into fiction. This is life in Palestine
right now. I wanted to challenge it through
cinema."
Later Friday evening in Lecture Hall
3 at 8 p.m., we w i l l continue exploring
self-determination issues with Got)(IKurds
Bad Kurds, which brings sharp clarity to a
complicated history while providing disturbing insight into immigration practices
and U.S. foreign policy.
S a t u r d a y , S E S A M E is pleased to
offer the Festival in conjunction with
International Women's Week celebrations around the world and her on campus.
Through focusing on women's issues
such as health, contemporary equality,
and oppression, we celebrate women as
a strong and unifying force in the Middle
East.
Nazrah: A Muslim
Woman's
Perspective Will be in Lecture Hall I at
3 p.m. and is a documentary film exploring the perspectives of Muslim women
on Islam and the global news involving
Islam. Through spontaneous debates and
personal interviews, Nazrah expresses
contrasting opinions, common beliefs,
and u n i q u e interpretations of each of
the women featured in the film. Most of
the women featured in this documentary
reside in the Northwest area of the United
States, although they come from many different backgrounds. SESAME is excited to
bring Farah Nousheen, writer, director and
producer of Nazrah: A Muslim Women's
Perspective, to the screening of the film
where she will lead a discussion on the
film and her process.
Farah was born in Hyderabad, India.
Since then, she has lived in the Midwest
and Northwest areas of America. Farah
wanted to know how Muslim women in her
community were seeing the chaos around
the world, at the center of which they find
themselves. She felt the best way to do this
was to speak with them candidly about the
issues she is most concerned about. She
will discuss women's issues, independent
filmmaking, and queer issues and take
questions.
We will also be screening films about
identity, i n c l u d i n g Benaat Chicago:
Growing Up Arab and Female in
Chicago, in Lecture I lall 2 at 6 p.m., and
women's health, The Planting of Girls, in
Lecture Hall 3 at 7pm.

Last year around this same time, large-scale and global anti-war protests were underway. On March 5, 2003, at Evergreen, a group of students gathered outside the Library
b u i l d i n g on Red Square to demand "Books, Not Bombs!" for the day. Alter a rousing
speech, a group of students entered the Library building, up the main stairway and into
the administrative wing to the President's office. They were greeted by an assistant and
told Les was away in a meeting and that he would come to speak with them as soon
as possible. After about a minute, the group knocked and entered into the President's
office and took in the numerous comfortable furnishings and the conference table, and
then when all those seats were filled, students and faculty sat on the floor and stood.
The message was clear: Evergreen must take a stand against the illegal war that was
about to be waged against supposed "weapons of mass destruction," among other things.
Evergreen must stand against the militarization of our schools and demand an end to
the repression and war at home.
A year later, the war continues both in Iraq and here in the United States. Although
there has been no global showing against the ongoing occupation and the presence of
U.S. forces in Iraq, events including teach-ins and demonstrations continue. Saturday,
March 20, 2004 is a day on which the world will again say No to war and occupation.
A call for Books, Not Bombs! has been put forward again, this time for Thursday, the
fourth of March, 2004.
Last year, students were able to raise the issue of the war to the forefront before the
war had begun and before our community had been struck by the loss of Rachel Corrie
on March 16, 2003. This year, what w i l l happen and how w i l l students again bring the
issue home after a year of continued occupation in Iraq and Palestine.
CALL TO ACTION:
On March 4, 2004, demand:
*BOOKS, NOT BOMBS
*END THE M I L I T A R Y OCCUPATION OF OUR SCHOOLS
*DEFEND FREEDOM ON THE HOME FRONT
On March 5, 2003, thousands of young people in more than 450 high schools and
colleges nationwide participated in a Student Strike for Books, Not Bombs and againsi
the impending war on Iraq. The strike was initiated by the National Youth & Student
Peace Coalition (NYSPC), a broad coalition fighting back against the m i l i t a r i z a t i o n of
our lives and our world. One year later, it has become even clearer that our generation w i l l continue to be betrayed by this government's drive to make our country an
empire.
SearchingforPeace: PalestinianIsraeli Conflict Final Lecture
by Nathan Madden
The last lecture in this series w i l l be held at 7 p.m. at the First Church of Christ
Scientist, Eighth and Washington, Downtown Olympia. For more information, please
visit http://academic.evergreen.edu/palestinianisraeli/.
What groups in Israel and Palestine are working towards peace? How can we as
Americans support a resolution to the conflict? How can we gel involved in the peace
effort? These have been some of the questions raised in our c o m m u n i t y from the
Searching for Peace: The Palestinian-hraeli Conflict lecture series. So far the series
has covered complex lectures such as "History," "U.S. Foreign Policy," and "Religious
Dimensions," among others. At tonight's lecture, called "Women's Movements am
Peace Movements in Israel and Palestine," you w i l l find a way you can get invoivet
in local peace groups.
Evergreen State College faculty members Simona Sharoni and Thercse Salibu w i l l
be speaking on the Women's Movements and Peace Movements in Israel and Palestine.
They w i l l be focusing on putting a human face on the conflict, using a gender analysis
to address the power inequalities that are at the heart of this conflict. They w i l l also
provide a detailed account and analysis of what people are doing on the ground in the
region to transform the situation.
At the end of the lecture, 14 local peace groups w i l l be represented for community
and students that want to become involved. Some of the peace groups that w i l l be
included are:
International Solidarity Movement ( I S M )
Contact: Phan Nguyen, email: info@isinolytnpta.org
The International Solidarity Movement (ISM) is a grassroots movement dedicated to
nonviolent resistance to the Israeli military occupation of the West Bank and the Gaza
Strip. ISM demonstrates that the international community can make a difference on the

The Passion
by John Madziarczyk
"What has he done to wear so many
scars: has he changed the course of
rivers; does he pollute the moon and
stars?"—from "Neighborhood Bully" by
Bob Dylan.
Saw The Passion in Lacey. Thought
it was a very good movie. I have to say,
by way of introduction, that the portrayal
of Jews in it isn't the feature which will
disturb people the most, since, to my mind
at least, it wasn't anti-Semitic at all, but
instead it will be the graphic portrayal of
man's inhumanity to man and the depths to
which that inhumanity can sink. After all,
that is what The Passion is all about, the
suffering of Jesus on his way to crucifixion and his (supposed) resurrection out of
that suffering and inhumanity into a living
example of a better way of life.
If you want to know the truth about
how the Jews, the Romans, and everyone
else is portrayed, it's almost more accurate to say that Mel Gibson had a covert
infiltrator working on the script who put in
Marxist materialist history than to say that
he relied on stereotypes when composing
it. The "Jews," first of all, aren't really
portrayed. Since this is Judea, everyone
who isn't Roman is a Jew, and so Jewishness doesn't really matter much. What is
portrayed are the priests of the Temple in
Jerusalem and the higher clergy attached
to it, and they come across not as ethnic
stereotypes but as people in positions of
power who don't want that power interrupted by a usurper. It's a story as old as
time and not connected to any particular
ethnic group. You have the priests who
want to preserve their power, the native
police force that does their bidding by
arresting Jesus, and then you have the
colonial Roman authorities, which really
couldn't care less about Jesus but are just
anxious about not having another revolt in
this far off province. Then, of course, you
have the puppet king Herod, who appears
briefly and acts the part of a petty dictator living the high life because he has the
protection of the Romans as a guarantee
of his power. Nothing ethnic or cultural
about any of it.
To get back to the Passion itself, what
comes through clearer than anything is the
sense evoked by the Gospel writers that
the times in which Jesus was preaching
were ones which witnessed the decay of
an old order, the Hellenistic culture which
had ruled the eastern Mediterranean for
hundreds of years and which was based
on the fusion of Greek culture with local
culture, and the birth of a new order, the
Roman Empire, which, sadly, wasn't sympathetic to many of the values and ideas
which characterized Hellenism. Something
important to remember is that during the
time of Christ, the reign of Julius Caesar
was less than a hundred years in the past;
Rome was very much on the upswing of
its power. So the Passion of Jesus takes
place as a combination of the spectacle of
the persecution of a prophet by his own
people, whom the Gospel writers took to
have departed from their true ideals, and
the indifferent suffering inflicted by an
occupying government that might as well
have been no just government at all. The
most frightening thing isn't the blood or
the gore, but the fact that if you look at the
suffering inflicted on Jesus throughout the
film, it's all the product of a logical series
of judgments, cruel judgments but judgments nonetheless, by people who really
aren't that different from you or me. People
didn't like him, so they thirsted for blood.
Then the government gets him, and they
delight in inflicting cruelty on him for its
own sake because they think his ideas are
ludicrous.
The sum of the punishment meted out
to Jesus is very human, almost diabolically
human because of the lack of greater concern that went into it. The solution to the
problem of the Passion, which it is possible
for every human to go through, which presents the depths to which human nature can
sink and the suffering that one can endure,
which Christianity presents, i.e., that belief
in Jesus and study of the Gospels can lead
people out of the muck because of the presence of divine truth in it, truth otherwise
inaccessible to human reason, may not be
for everyone, but the situation which is
presented has enduring value.
Take The Passion as a mirror on society and a mirror into one's own soul; the
questions of "Where are we?" as a society
.and "Where are we going?" are ones that
should be asked by every person in every
time, and the unthinking response to The
Passion as opposed to the actual content
of the film is a litmus test which can tell
us a lot.

Linkin Park
An M-pact Teaser
by Robin Solash
No matter what anyone says about them, I don't care,
I love them. They are an exultant live act, and their music
(not meaning to sound cliche) really speaks to me. From
the day Hybrid Theory came out, I was hooked. I knew
I had to see them live, and I finally got to when they
hit Tacoma for their Meteora world tour. They toured
with Story of the Year, Hoobastank, and P.O.D. All the
bands rocked and needed more stage tine except P.O.D.,
which I can't stand. They performed too long. When
Linkin Park took the stage, the crowd rose to a roar and
screamed so loud that at first I couldn't here the first
chords of the first song.
Throughout the night they played every song from
Hybrid Theory including "Run Away," "Crawling,"
"With You," "In the End" and "A Place For My Head."
From Meteora, some of the songs they played were
"Numb," "Faint," "Somewhere I Belong," and "Breaking
the Habit." They included a few from Reanimation, like
"Points of Authority" and "By Myself," which really
impressed me. They even did "It's Going Down," the
song that they did with the X-Ecutioners. At the end
of the show, they invited the leads form all the bands
to sing "One Step Closer" with them. I found out that
one of my favorite songs, titled "My December," was
written for a friend of theirs that had recently died of
cancer, and that half the sale proceeds from the sold-out
show were going to cancer research. They had visuals of
the videos that they had done plus some really random
stuff, which was cool. I had such a good time, I really
enjoyed their concert.
So by now, from the Evergreen Singers that are
around, you probably heard them talking about an a
cappella group called M-pact. Well, what they have
been saying is that they are a very talented group of
five guys that sing without instruments but produce
instrumental sounds. Their sound is pop/jazz performing some covers and original songs. But they cover
songs and put a swing on them. I mean, not everyone
can pull off a jazzy version of "Won't You Be My
Neighbor" from Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood. They
are world famous, performing in Japan, Switzerland,
France, and Germany.
The first time that I heard them utter one note, I was
hooked and am now a die-hard M-pact fan. People
like Bill Gates, Ray Charles and Bobby McFerrin
have nothing but good comments about them. They
had the opportunity to grace the stage with Sheryl
Crow, Natalie Cole, and Liza Minneli. They have won
multiple awards, including an INDIE Grammy, and
Billboard Award.
This is just a teaser; if you want to know more,
stay tuned to the CPJ and come to A Cappella: The
Naked Voice, the choir concert with the Evergreen
Singers and M-pact. Sunday, March 14,3 p.m. and 7
p.m. Located in the Communications Building Recital
Hall. The cost is $ 15 for general admission and $8 for
students. You can get your tickets at the Bookstore. I
hope to see you all there.
I am probably the biggest Incubus fan on campus.
I have seen them live seven times and my room is
decked out in their posters. I have even met them,
and they all signed my ankle cast three years ago.
On February 3, 2004, they released a new album
with a new band member titled A Crow Left of the
Murder, or^CO7ji/for short. This album, 1 must say,
is definitely one of their best. It doesn't have a poppy
song like "Drive" or "I Wish You Were Here," like
Make Yourself and Morning View did. Don't get me
wrong— those are wonderful albums and songs— but
I could see this one being my favorite.
The song that they have released on to the airwaves
is titled "Megalomaniac." It is about telling people to
come down from their high horse with saying "You're
no Jesus, you're no fuckin' Elvis." The video was
pushed back on all music video networks to only
be played after hours because of its portrayal of our
"lovely" present, Hitler, and the oil industry. My
favorite song is called "Sick Sad Little World." It is
about them trying to tell someone to feel better and
bounce back form depression, but the person doesn't
want to, so he says, "Leave me here in my stark
raving sick sad little word." And there is a beautiful
love song on the album called "Southern Girl." The
chorus is "You're the exception to the rule, you're a
bona fide rarity, you're all I ever wanted, Southern
girl could you want me?" Out of all the love songs
that Brandon Boyd has written, this is the best. This
album is definitely a great one.

"THERE'S ONLYTWO THINGS THAT
COME FROM TEXAS, BOY... "
by Dianna Ekins
Bret Corrington, a 2003 Evergreen
graduate, is showing his collective
works from 1999-2003 in a series
entitled "Connect the Dots" at The
Washington Center for the Performing
Arts. Corrington's paintings, previously
shown in small cafe's and bookstores
around Seattle and Olympia, can also
be seen in and outside the 2003 TESC
annual magazine, Slightly West.
In true Evergreen fashion, Corrington
isn't shy about elaborating on the
unusual autobiographical story behind
his painted visuals. In 1995, at the age
of 22, Corrington suffered a stroke that
left him visually impaired, limiting his
visual field by 85%.
"Everything to the right of what I
focus on disappears," said Corrington
in a press release. This range of vision
is translated quite literally in What do
you see?, which depicts a trademark
Corrington blue figure, mid-frame,
fading into the background on its right
side.
The visual impairment of a visual
artist produces all sorts of interesting
dilemmas, the most obvious being,
"How the hell can you see what you're
painting?" Corrington explains that he
nestled into a world of reliable geometric
shapes early in his career, and created a
razor-sharp womb. Here, he could incu-,
bate a new vision without the use of his
deteriorated eyes.
• The earliest of his works, shown on
the third floor of the pseudo-gallery/
patron's lounge, exhibit the primordial
elements for Corrington's artistic evolution. It is recommended that one view
the pieces from top of the gallery to the
bottom in'order to "connect the dots"
as intended.
The series begins with highly severe
style for geometric paintings done in
rusty browns and whites accented with
small, bluish circles and coiling roots.
As one observes the evolution of his
paintings, it becomes evident that these
blue shapes are the seedlings for the
creepy, blue, android-like figures presented in Corrington's later works. Like
a proud mother, Corrington documents
the growth of his blue darlings from
the moment of conception (the painting entitled Blue Beans) to estranged
fetus (Heads) and finally into infancy
and the eventual liberated forms of blueandroid adulthood (Sculpture Garden,
Bye-Bye).
However, the best piece is considerably different from the eerie family
photo-album of the blue figures. The
lonely, cubist-influenced piece entitled
String Bean, with Its reddish clouds
surrounding a cluster of throbbing geometrical shapes, radiates a rare intimacy.
This ambiguous structure blurs the line
between flesh and machine and conveys
that delicate transition from chaos into
form.
Overall, Corrington's work is certainly promising, He is a gifted painter
with the discipline to back it up. My only
hope is that he abandons the severe, geometric style that allowed him to triumph
over his visual handicap, and explore the
mysteriously soft elements presented in
String Bean. But maybe I'm just a bilch
for criticizing a blind man's art.
Connect the Dots runs until March
19 and is open to the public on Fridays
from .11 a.m.-l:30 p.m.
MUSIC! MUSIC! MUSIC!
Part Six: Soundtracks
by J'aime Mitchell
So, I don't know about you, but my concept of the war in Vietnam is a watercolor
collage of Edwin Starr lyrics, Kubrick
films, and naked musicals. For two days
last week, Vietnam veteran Lawrence
Tritle was on our campus illuminating
a much more accurate picture of soldier
life. If you weren't there for either of his
lectures, you missed a compelling insight
on a range of topics. He covered everything from the drift of phalanx formation
to post-war paranoia; he relayed one story
about a typical restaurant luncheon with a
veteran buddy in which he diffused potential tension by promising the man facing
away from the door, "I got your back,
Ben." This anecdote is just one example
of the personal perspective that is infused
in Tritle's writing and oratory.
Tritle is the author of From Melos to
My Lai, a powerful look at the parallels
of combat over the ages. In the book,
he focuses specifically on the wars of
Ancient Greece (Persian, Peloponnesian)
and Vietnam. The prevailing point in
his literature, as well as his lectures, is
that war takes a tremendous toll on the
human psyche. Imparted with anecdotal,
literary and empirical evidence, Lawrence
shows that, throughout history, battle has
produced soldiers with Post-Traumatic
Stress Disorder.
Mr. Tritle arrived Monday, eager to
share his experiences over pizza with
the students of "Ancient Stories, Modern
Lives." He proved zealous in his attempts
to relate to younger generations and was
humble but steadfast in his opinions.
While his lectures instigated a number
of fruitful debates among students and
faculty, his presence instilled an overall
understanding that history is intuitive, like
art, and involves a lot of critical empathy.
Above all else, his visit was an inspiration
for evoking academic achievement from
individual passions and life experience.
Larry Tritle spoke in front of the Program Ancient Stories/Modern Lives last week.

They are one of the most memorable
elements of motion pictures. They can
leave you just as upbeat or down as the
images onscreen. They're soundtracks,
and their music is as varied as the films
in which they are featured. Here's a small
sampling:
Easy Rider—This counterculture biker
flick not only made stars out of its leading
men— particularly Jack Nicholson—but
it also boasted a psychedelic soundtrack
just as popular. Featuring the likes of
Steppenwolf, the Byrds, Jimi Hendrix, the
Electric Prunes, and Bob Dylan covers, the
album permanently cemented the odyssey
of two friends on their way to Mardi Gras
into American pop culture and captured the
essence of a generation on its way out.
The Graduate—The majority of this
album was written (well, Paul Simon wrote
it) and performed by Simon & Garfunkel,
propelling them to pop stardom. Not only
did the duo contribute original songs—
several of them hits—but a driving score
as well.
American Graffiti—Released in 1973,
this film's tagline asked, "Where were you
in "62?" and revived an abundance of doovvop and early rock-n-roll. Coupled with the
vocals of legendary disc jockey Wolfman
Jack, this double-album soundtrack has
become a pop culture classic.
the
Wonder Boys—As colorful as the film's
characters, this one features older cuts by
John Lennon, Clarence Carter and Tim
Hardin as well as a slew of Dylan tracks,
including the Academy Award-winning
"Things Have Changed." Count this as
destined to become a classic.
Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves—This
has got to be one of the few score
soundtracks that has inspired a hit as
popular (or overplayed) as Bryan Adams'
"(Everything I Do) I Do It For You."Never
mind that Jeff Lynne's "Wild Times" was
included in a forest scene (and a castle
scene, if you have the extended version),
while Adams' tune just plays over the
credits.
Movie Musicals—42nd St. The Sound
of Music. Jesus Christ Superstar. Hair.
Cabaret. The Rocky Horror Picture Show.
Grease. A Chorus Line. Chicago. (And I
know there's many more I'm forgetting.)
All unique in their own ways, yet similar
in the sense that they (well, most anyway)
convey crucial plot elements through song
and sometimes dance.
So, whether it's psychedelia, folk rock,
doo-wop, modern rock for pot-smoking
professors, renaissance meets soft rock,
song and dance, or whatever your fancy,
it's the music, not the picture, that keeps
you humming as you leave the theater.

Notes on Politics, or It's Actually More Like This,
CURMUDGEON
by Cameron Kauffman
In last week's Cooper Point Journal, Lee
Kepraios explained Howard Dean's failure
in terms of his anger. Kepraios states, "Dean
lost because he showed some anger, some
passion. He fell out of the race because he got
angry." Can it really be simplified that much?
Is Howard Dean really that angry, or was he
just portrayed that way by the media? Didn't
his most angry, or, as Kepraios might put it,
most passionate, moment come after placing
third in the Iowa caucuses? Also, what reason
would Howard Dean have not to be angry?
When he declared himself to be from the
"Democratic wing of the Democratic Party,"
it was a fair statement that appealed to the
broad base of Democratic voters that actually
were angered by Bush's ability to bully the
country into war with hardly a worthwhile
debate from the supposed opposition. Like
most people, I was really angry about this.
Was Dean just angry the entire time or did
he pick up on the anger within his party and
use that to build his campaign?
It was just too easy to portray this candidate as being angry, and that's not why
he lost; it was the air of inevitability surrounding Dean that did him in. There was
something promising in the air, fueled by
money that flowed from the Internet. The
problem is, he surpassed them in quarterly
fundraising. The governor rode the wave of
hype higher and higher until collapsing at
the Iowa caucuses. His initial candidacy was
built on his opposition to the war in Iraq, and
something about his medical background
and how he could deliver health care to the
people of Vermont.
His appeal was his bluntness. When I
saw him last'September, it was empowering. Dean had some funny lines that seemed'
improvised and a bit about how he was the
best choice among all his rivals, but the real
money lines, the part that he saved for the
end, were when he talked about how his perceived inability to be elected was false.
Without wincing, Dean spoke of how they
were going to go down south and ask questions, "fundamental questions," on why all of
these people didn't have jobs, why there was
no health care for them and why the Bush
tax cuts failed to invigorate the economy the
way that he said they would? And this topic
could not be changed by the administration.
On and on. This was an empowering conclusion. It was a very good stump speech. This
guy is a very good speaker.
The problem, though, is that things just
happened. Dean couldn't take back his
statements effectively. The Confederate
Flag comment was covered up with a lastminute apology that did not take advantage
of Dean's willingness to engage our country in a worthwhile-discussion on race that
he could have easily folded into his own
views on the issue. (He delivered a superb
December 7, 2003 speech on the matter.)
When he stated that the country was not
made safer since the capture of Saddam
Hussein (of course it was not any safer,
Saddam was found in a hole in the ground),
Kerry, Lieberman and others jumped on him
thoughtlessly. It made me angry to see this
candidate fail to j u m p on his opponents.
Even now, I grind my teeth when I think
about how everyone ganged up on Dean. Of
course the country's not safer with Saddam
gone. Oj course I'm still angrv at the way
that politics are played out in this country.
Why can 't we talk about issues, and not be so
focused on making other people look had?
Dean wasn't a candidate made for the
limelight. While mainstream' media focused
on him as the "inevitable nominee," they
cast many doubts and left plenty of room
for the other candidates to develop in the
background and cause an iipset. Alter losing
the Iowa caucuses, Dean was not able to
improve his message; the other candidates
had already improved it. Now the message
was about him saying and doing what felt
right, even if it wasn't the most popular thing
to do, and leading with his heart, not his
head. It was lame, uninspired and certainly
not empowering.
As the best conciliation available, Dean
can be comforted that he shaped this race.
Everyone's anti-Iraq because of Dean;
Kerry and Edwards are offering comparable health care plans to Dean's; so let's not
get caught up on who's pulling the strings.
Unfortunately, U.S. politics comes down to
power too often.
The skirmishes that Gephardt and Dean
got into at almost every debate help illustrate how hard each of these two were
trying to one-up the other. Dean's comment
on Saddam Hussein was too easy a line to
make him look bad with rather than actually
consider. Same with the Confederate Flag
gaffe. Sharpton, K u c i n i c h and MoseleyBraun, the three "long shots," were in the
race to do what Dean did. John Kerry is
doing it with Dean's message and beginning to do the same with Edwards line on
there being "Two Americas" (a line that, by
the way, Lee Kepraios, addresses the issue
of poverty in this country and proposes a
major effort to narrow the gap between the
haves and the have-nots).
Unfortunately, the Democratic Party is
unable to see that Ralph Nader is hoping to
hold an influence on the party in the same
way as Dean. The 2000 election proved,
provided we forget about all the finer
points involved in the Florida Recount, that
Nader could have an actual impact on who
becomes president. R u n n i n g as an independent in 2004, he will face a steeper battle in
winning people's votes because there is a
sizeable amount of ill will towards him for
putting Bush over the top in 2000.
This time around, though, if Nader does
appear to be a real factor come October,
the Democratic Nominee w i l l be forced
to acknowledge his presence. Nader is
positioning himself to push the Democratic
Party further left, not to cement the image
of himself as a spoiler. Further, he is wisely
ignoring the mainstream media and how
they are constantly trying to discredit and
undermine his candidacy.
Larry King tried to discredit Kucinich's
candidacy in last Thursday's debate by skipping over any of the points that the candidate
had to make and likening his single-payer
health care package to socialism. In order
for the Democratic Party to be successful
this November, they have to stop believing
what the media has to say about the issues
and the candidates.
There's no reason to believe that Bush
will be re-elected and, if so, that it will be
Nader's doing. Howard Dean did something
great for John Kerry; he made him work
harder to prove himself to voters. If Ralph
Nader is in the background throughout this
campaign, Kerry will not be able to discount
him the same way that Gore did.
It will not become another case of the
Democratic Nominee calling Nader at the
last minute and asking for his endorsement in
any of the states where they feel threatened
by a candidate that will be shut out from a/I
debates. Just as Dean did earlier this year,
we need something to remind Democrats
that t h e i r party cannot win elections by
moving closer to the center and patting the
Republicans on the back, but that they need
to take a strong stance on the left and stay
there.
Just Say No To Coors
hv Lucas Claussen
I ' m sick of Coors. The beer and the
family, but especially the advertisements
they put out on television. 1 try and not
watch TV but I see some. (Word of advice,
it helps to throw a tapestry over the fucking
thing when not using it.) Coors is not a good
or happy company to support. The family
who owns the company has connections to
union busting and harassment of workers
and organizers. In addition, they give large
amounts of contributions and share board
members with a number of ultra-right, neofascist organizations including the Heritage
Foundation. As well, previous generations
of the Coors family have had connections to
Fascist and Nazi parties in Europe.
How does this relate to television, you
ask? Maybe you're already familiar with the
tendency for beer ads to use sex to sell their
products. A particular one set me off, a Coors
ad. Let me set the scene.
All the characters are the tvpical dull
"sexy" types, chiseled bodies, el cetera. A
man stands on a beach in front of a group
of women. He is rejected as he hits on them.
A group of men sitting nearby on the beach
with a dog watch the scene while drinking
Coors. Their black and white spotted dog
(with a 9-inch tail, according to the narrator) runs to the group of women followed bv
one of the Coors drinking, "chiseled " men.
He pels his dog with the 9-inch tail and sits
down to the group of laughing, bikini-clad
women. The rest of the group soon follows.
bringing with them the cooler of Coors. The
commercial ends.
Now, supposedly, if you look like these
men, have a dog with a 9-inch tail, and drink
Coors Light, you will be likely to encounter
members of the opposite sex who will be
impressed and want you, your 9-inch tail,
and your Coors.
Fuck that bullshit. Promoting disgusting
and near fascist social standards of beauty,
objectifying the bodies of women into mere
meat for homed up men. Furthermore, promoting heterosexist relationships, irresponsible and definitely not positive, nurturing
sexual relationships, and alcohol-laden
abuse while at the same time donating and
supporting organizations that work against
reproductive freedom and access to abortion is disgusting and hypocritical. As well
as these advertisements, Coors has targeted
gay and lesbian communities and the "gay
bar" scenes, while sharing space and giving
credence to ideas like the persecution and/or
execution of homosexuals. See the below
links for more information.

a short story
me Underground Catalog
/7V Matthew Wolpe
I couldn't stop looking at my watch.
Only twenty minutes left in the academic
fair and I was still seventh in line. In my
head I was cursing at the guy sitting at
the table with the faculty. I knew the type:
glasses that made him look smarter than
he really is, brings Tuppcrwarc containers full of quinoa to class, and preaches
nonviolence. I knew at that observation
that I wasn't going to make it to the table.
My head dropped in despair, knowing that
1 was doomed to a winter vacation on a
waitlist.
Suddenly someone comes up from
behind with a big trench coat, a black ski
hat and dark sunglasses. "You're never
going to make it," the guy says, whispering eerily in my ear. "Make what?" I
said. "The class," he says, "this waitlist
is backed farther than the Lincoln Tunnel
just before sundown on Shabbas." His
To the activist community,
\m writing this letter because I feel
compelled to address what is rapidly
becoming a grave source of concern to
me. Like many of you, I have turned to
the peace and social justice movement
as a source of hope and empowerment
in a world that seems to grow more
ominous by the day. The movement
has provided me with this and much
more: it has provided me with a sense
of community when I felt isolated in
my beliefs and a sense of purpose when
I had only helplessness and despair. I
have stood shoulder to shoulder with
you in the ongoing struggle for global
justice, attending meetings and rallies,
making signs, putting up flyers, paying
membership dues, writing letters, and
trying to make my voice heard amidst
metaphor sent shivers up my spine. I was
terrified at the memory of my uncle Levi
shouting at people in Yiddish while rushing home on Friday.
"I got a deal for ya," he says while pulling me out of line and holding me hostage
with a chopstick. "What do you want," I
said, fearing that he would mistake me for
a nori roll. This was not the guy I wanted
to mess with. "Have you seen this?" he
says, and shoves a book at me. He didn't
let me answer. "It's the black market
academic catalog, we got all the classes
you can't get into." My eyes opened wide
all of a sudden, feeling tingly with the
mischievousness of his proposition. "Oh
yeah, you got Mediaworks in there." "I
got Mediaworks, I got SOS: Media, I even

I am honored to have had the opportunity

safety and even their lives for what they

I am also a Jew.
Or, as I have been called, a "progressive Jew" and "a Jew, but..." The peace
and justice movement has been wrongly
accused of anti-Semitism as many of us
began to criticize Israeli policy toward the
Palestinians, but when we use phrases like
"Jewish lobby" and "Zionist quest for world
domination" or blame the Jewish people for
September 11, we are lending credibility to
such accusations. It is imperative that we
speak out against the brutality of the Israeli
occupation, but it is equally vital that we
maintain the ability to distinguish certain

have no response to my genius inquiry.
"We got someone on the inside. He's got
an earpiece, so we tell him our questions
he asks them and we get answers. You
know the kids that talk the most in class?
Well, it's usually because they're with
the underground." It made sense. I was
wondering why all of the stupid men that
have dominated my seminars wore hearing aids. Well, they weren't hearing aids.
This guy's good, I thought, but I was still
skeptical. "Oh yeah, well about credits," I
asked. "Come with me," he said while he

He dragged me out to C Lot while telling me to keep my mouth shut. We arrived

an entire people.
This has never been so essential as it is
right now, when anti-Semitism once again
threatens to reach crisis proportions throughout the world. In America as well as Europe,
schools, synagogues, and Jewish cemeteries
have become increasingly frequent targets
of abuse and destruction. Within the last
two years, a mob of German neo-Nazis
burned down a Holocaust memorial, and
with it they burned down memories the
world cannot afford to lose. That summer,
nearly 1,000 white supremacists marched on
the streets of our nation's Capitol chanting
"Death to Jews" under the guise of concern
for oppressed Palestinians. And on several
college campuses across the country, Jewish
students have been verbally and physically

looked pretty big, big enough for me to fit

"you want credits?" "Yesss," I shrugged,
fearful that I would be found the next day
at the bottom of Capitol Lake. "I got your
credits," he said, and popped open the
trunk. "Here's your credits." He opened
up the trunk and it was full of credits. "4,

urgent crisis, one cannot help but wonder
why, after our community has fought so
hard against all other forms of discrimination and prejudice, we have largely
remained silent. Moreover, one cannot
help but wonder why we of all people
have gone so far as to excuse and even
condone such savagery.
Like many of you, I have stood
up for the human rights and dignity
of the Palestinian people, even when
such a stance was met with adversity
and stigmatization. I have stood up for
the humane treatment of the people of
Afghanistan and the people of Iraq, even
when it meant being called a traitor. Now,
ominous clouds gathering at the horizon
beg the question: Who will stand up for
me?

THE CURMUDGEON:
My Eco-Friendly House Design
by Lee Kepraios
It seems that on the list of things we
should be worried about as a nation, the
environment comes in near the bottom.
Right below "Are we getting enough fiber
as a people?"
Most people won't admit this because
it's a harsh reality to face, but everything
we eat and drink and breathe is poisoned.
We're all going to die of cancer. And
there's no way around it. We can slow it
down but we can't stop it. Tell that to the
arrogant hippie asshole who thinks he's
going to outlive everyone by shopping at
the co-op.
I'm fine with that but I can't say the
same for most Evergreeners. They're so
frightened. Many people now know that
everything we take in is littered with benzene, dioxins, PCBs, lead, and chromium.
And most of you have gotten high on all
of those.
I'm not knocking your hobbies. But
alternative fuel sources seem to be the
popular alternative, Energy seems to
be another crisis. I think environmental
concern is mostly shallow, arrogant selfinterest myself, but just so that no one can
accuse me of not doing my part, I shall
hereupon offer my plan for a house that
cuts energy consumption rates by 90%.
My plane: Pedal Power. Every electrical outlet and appliance in the house will
be hooked up to a generator in the basement. These generators draw their power
from kinetic energy. That energy will be
harnessed by a fleet of fat kids who pedal
exercise bikes all day in the basement.
My eco-friendly house is powered by fat
kids.
Think of what you've got here. Fifteen
or twenty pudgy, pasty, acne-ridden little
12-year-olds with big coke-bottle glasses
pedal non-stop on stationary bikes. And
after any mandated number of hours of
miles spent pedaling, a mechanical feeding device feeds them candy bars and
Mountain Dew. Sustenance is a reward
for contribution. Got to keep the blood
sugar up.
All the alternative power and fuel
sources we've been looking for are failing our needs. We're so busy looking for
a solution; nobody saw one that was right
there at the buffet the whole time. Ethanol
doesn't work, you can't get a hydrogen
car unless you've Steven Spielberg, gas
sources are failing us, the coal and oil
industries stink of corruption, and who
would have thought the answer to all this
would have come in the form of little fat
kids pedaling in an Orwellian slave environment? I'm telling you, you give them
some candy and they'll do anything.
Now you're gonna get some people who
say this whole thing is "inhumane." They
might even go so far as to call it "slavery."
There's that nasty S-word. Look, nobody
said this was going to be easy to do. It's
going to be a tough PR. sell. First, a few
facts: Fat kids will pedal in shifts. They
won't be pedaling from day to night. That's
cruel. When they're not pedaling they'll be
safely be resting in comfortable provided
beds, or failing that, crawl spaces. Also, the
fat kids will be kept in line. If you notice
a decrease in your power while it is on,
it's because a fat kid is slacking off. There
will be a hotline available for rejects to be
shipped back to the warehouse in Sioux
City, Iowa, and you will receive a free
replacement if such a thing occurs (allow
six weeks for delivery).
Imagine not having to deal with power
outages, burnouts, burnt bulbs, overcrowded sockets, and bad TV reception.
The only thing you'll have to pay for is
the candy and soda deliveries.
People don't care about the environment
because they're too busy with their own
personal crises. It's one of those underlying issues. Not everybody is ready for
Social Security, so they're not focused on
those reforms; not everybody has kids in
schools, so they're not focused on education. Everybody needs energy and electrical power. A step forward in that direction
would really open some eyes. And if you
don't think fat kid pedal power is the best
idea for alternative energy ever, maybe
you should renounce your fuel efficient
Geo and your hemp underwear and give
up the ghost.
Lee's New Rule of the Week: It's just
a drum! I don't understand what some
people thing is so fascinating about a
couple of bongos and an African tribal
kidi. Whoa, what a far out sound you
got going there, Rainbow McStardaisy!
Mind if 1 kick off my Birkenstocks and
groove in your aura? Listen, you're not
fooling anyone with that atsimevu. You're
an unwashed anachronism dressed like a
sea turtle banging your aggression out of a
drum outside my window while I'm trying
to sleep off my hangover and watch my
stories. I hate waking up thinking there's
a ritualistic human sacrifice going on
somewhere. You may think it's a liberating sound, but to me you're just more white
people attempting rhythm.

Evergreen Gateway Help:
It's Everyone's Problem
by Connor Moran
Online registration is a marvelous thing. It saves us happy modern students
many of the trials and tribulations traditionally associated with registration. With
my handy laptop I can cast my fate from the comfort and privacy of my own bed.
This is a beautiful thing.
As nice as this system is, it is far from idiot-proof. The menus are not really very
intuitive and require a degree of prior understanding to get through. This is to be
expected. Intuitive design is a complicated process, and it's not like Evergreen has
a crack team of designers on staff to come up with a brilliant intuitive interface.
So, when I was trolling around the Gateway and found myself somewhat lost, I
didn't worry too much. I just hit the help button.
Here was where I expected the digital environment to shine. I expected an
explanation of each menu item that would leave me with no doubt as to the proper
course of action. I expected to come away marveling at the world we live in.
I got contact information.
Actually, I didn't even get contact information; I got a list of offices to contact.
If I wanted to do so, I'd have to look them up myself. I was informed that if I
had a question about admissions, I should contact the Admissions Office. If, by
chance, I had a payroll problem, I should go to the Payroll Office. If I were in
need of some alumni services, I would be directed to the Alumni Office. Wow.
Behold the power of digital communication.
The closest thing to a relevant bit of help told me to see the Registrar for help
regarding the various functions the Gateway actually serves. But I didn't want
to go see the registrar. If I'd wanted help from a person, I would have gone and
gotten help from a person. What I wanted was for the Gateway to tell me what
its functions do.
Even more frustrating was that when I actually managed, by trial and error,
to get to the page I wanted, the help link there explained to me what that page
did. Now that I could see for myself. Thanks a lot, Mr. Gateway help device.
Thanks a freaking lot.
So, I'm just wondering, would it really be that hard to pop those help functions
up a level and tell me what the menu items do before I click on each one of them?
That way I would save the time I lost looking for the right link. More importantly,
it would save me the time I spent flinging my fists around and screaming for the
head of the Evergreen Gateway help feature.
What's JOUR problem? E-mail it to me at Morcon03@evergreen.edu.

WINTER QUARTER
WITH A W H I T E W A T E R
RAFTING T R I P
by Kyra Berkovich
March 13 and 14, days before eval
week begins and students take off for
spring break, The Outdoor Program
offers its first whitcwatcr-rafting trip of
the season. With the snow pack melting its annual runoff, the abundance of
water creates great rafting conditions on
the regions' rivers and their Class III-IV
rapids. Web registration is always open;
however, you can also register in person
at the administration desk in the CRC,
where they'll be happy to take your $35
fee.
The inception of TOP began in the
mid 1970s, thanks to its founder, Willi
Unsocld, one of the first Americans to
summit Everest in 1963.
Since then, TOP offers many different kinds of recreational classes and
programs open to Evergreen students
and the surrounding community. Past
programs include rafting weekends,
mountain retreats, hiking and rock
climbing. The newest program to be
added to this list is sea kayaking, which
began winter quarter.
With Evergreen's location in this
region being one hour away from the
ocean, one hour from great mountains for
both climbing and ski/snowboarding, and
being right on Pugct Sound, "the amount
of opportunities here is overwhelming,"
said TOP Manager Ian Bondi. Even with
all these opportunities readily available,
Bondi is currently planning to introduce
surf kayaking and surfing this coming
fall quarter and has plenty more ideas
where those came from.
Pick up an application
at the Student Activities
Office, CAB320.
Right now, Evergreen already has one
great idea in place: the climbing gym.
Evergreen's climbing gym is the only
one in the immediate area, located in the
CRC in a renovated racquetball court.
Its high ceilings of 25 feet and its
bouldcring cave make this gym perfect
for fine-tuning crucial moves in a safe
environment.
Whether you are looking for endurance workouts (taking laps around the
bouldering cave) or working on power
moves, this wall can meet your needs.
Open seven days a week, 6 a.m. to 8
p.m. weekdays, and regular CRC hours
on the weekend.
