Preparing for The Big One
By Justin McKaughan
Ten years ago, I was really in to baseball.
I videotaped every game possible. I collected
the cards, played in the Lakewood little league
(even though my brothrr and I were th e worst
players of all time), and idolized th e San
Francisco Giants. The Oakland A's and the San
Francisco Giants were pitted against each other
for a World Series match·up. It was dubbed
'The Battle OfThe Bay".
Minutes before the opening pitch of the
third game in the "Battle of the Bay" series.the
television reception got shaky. The
commentator shouted "Oh my God, we're
having an earthquake." The screen was green
for about ten minutes. Then it went to an
emergency news flash de lar in g that San
Francisco had been hit by thr biggest
earthquake since 1906." I thought to myself,
''I'm glad that I moved to Washington from
California."
The following week at Lochburn Junior High,
my earth science teacher decided to teach our
class about plate tectonics. He focused on the
Puget Sound Region. I was
informed about a 7.0 earthquake that struck
Olympia on April 13. 1949. The earthquake
damaged pipelines in Tacoma, damaged the
Narrows Bridge, knocked tons of chimneys
apart, cracked state buildings in Olympia, and
killed 8 prop Ie. The ea rthquake happened
minutes before noon.
I have lived in the Northwest since 1989.
I have yet to experie nce a massive earthquake
like the one Johanna Kems from Growing Pains
had to experience in the made-for-TV movie
The Big One. Thr biggest eart hquake that I
remembered was a 5.0 ea rthquak e that hit
Seattle a few years back. I barely fe lt it. Over
the summer, Olympia experienced a 5.0
earthquake. I was in Portland when it
happened, but I arrived in Olympia two hours
after it happened. Most of my friends just blew
it off. "Oh, it shook my bookshelf." "The room
was moving." No one was seriously injured
from the incident. Most of the students at The
Evergreen State College were not in Olympia,
since this occurred during the summer.
Since its construction in the 1960s, The
Evergreen State College has not experienced an
earthquake of the same magnitude as the
quake of 1949. 50 years have passed since the
last main quake. The events in Turkey and
Taiwan in the previous months demonstrate
that ea rthquake-pron e regions can devastate
highly populated areas. Also, the earth is on
its own time. When it feels the need to grow,
or the need to expand its plates, the earth will
do so. The question: remains, are we as a
community ready for a 7.0 or higher
earthquake?
Last week, I started talking to some
students about earthquakes. Since Evergreen
integrates students from around the globe, it's
safe to say that students from
earthquake-prone regions are more likely to be
aware of the dangers that earthquakes
produce, i.e. students from the Midwest know

more about tornado awareness than stlldents
from West Covina, California.
One of the most important issue that I
addressed regarded the location of the meeting
place. If an earthq uake happens, wheredo YO ll
go? Most students did not know that the rock
outside th e pavilion by the soccer field is the
meeting place if any disastrr happen s. Red
Square is not the meeting place after an
earthquake .
Now that th r meet ing place is known, what
should one do if an earthquake happens while
you're in class? You'd want to go under a fourlegged desk. Stay away or at least face away
from the glass windows. Duck under the desk
and cover!
Do not try to run outside! I cou ld go on,
but I'll quote some of the responses that I got
from students about what to do if an
earthquake happen~ (these are not necessarily
the right things to do, merely points of views).
"Stop, drop and roll ." "Go outside or under a
doorway." "Fi nd shoes." " Stay away from
bongs and need les ." "Run outside into the
middle of the street." "Get away from shelves
and glass." "Do the nuclear drill."
When I started to discuss the rumors that
have been floating around campus regarding
the st ructure of the buildings, the opinions
begin to transform into a science-fiction ABC
After School Special. Half of the people that I
talked to told me that th e library building was
doomed. Others feared the A dorlll (but
everyo ne dogs the A dorm. I lived there and
loved it so don't knock it!). One st udent said
that they didn't know if they felt romfortahle
about the walkway betwccn the CRC and the
CAB. The modular hOLlsing. supposedly the
Illost likely str uctures un ca ll1pus to survive an
eart hquake , were specu lated as unsafe
str uctures because they were only built to be
arollnd for 5 years. If this sounds far out, ask
around about Happyland or the theory that
Evergreen was built to be a prison. Spooky!
Everyone that I spoke with agreed that
action needs to be taken. The week before our
Turkeybreak (Tofurkeybreak for my vegan bros
and sisters), the lovely people at hOUSing sent
a mail out to every student living on campus.
The entire housing community was invited to
a free information lecture about earthquake
preparedness.
Tom Miner, a shift leader for FEMA
(Federa l Emergency Management Agency) in
the Northwest and well-reknowned in the field
of disaster preparedness, spoke to "a whopping
twenty students" about what to do ifany type
of disaster were to happen at Evergreen. He
exp lain ed that man-made disasters, i. e.
terrorism, are as much of a threat as natural
disasters. The mai l-out asked "Are YOll ready
for the Big One?" Tom spoke about scenarios
that he had come across in his years of
experience. One thing that stuck in my mind
was when 'he said that 60% of the people that
die in disaster scenes are those trying to rescue
someo ne or something. It is important not to
go back for your personal belongings if you

STATEOF
RANSPORTATION
If you haven't noticed, Evergreen has
transportation problems. If you look at all aerial
view of the co llege you will see that the area
taken up by Band C lots is almost the size ohhe
campus.c ore (Red Square and the ~urround ing
buildIngs). One could make the argument, in
terms of lalld use, that we value our cars more
than our educatioll. Additionally, God knows
how mnch motor oil leaks off the lots into local
water ways, how lIIuch excess run off is created
and how many trees co uld fill ollr parking
spaces. If you want to see what our parking lot
shou ld look like go to th e Lacey Timberland
Libra ry.
This i~ the way our Ilew 5S0 space parkillg
lot sho uld look, ilwe need one. By the way thi~
parking lot is in the works . The reasons tl)r it
are because Evergreen is growing and loca l ('ode~
require it for th e addit ion 01 th e Sem inar II
building.
It is my brlief that we can grow without
the need for new parking spaces. The answers
are quite simple. Use the bus. carpoo l, bike to
schooL Getting people to pursue these activities
is notso'simple.
To take on this challenge a new student
grou,pis forming. EAT This (Evergreen
Alternative Transportation This Year) purpose
focuses on promoting tra nsportation
alternatives at Evergreen.
The secondary purpose, prubably more
. fun, is to learn first hand about alternative
transportation. For example, take a trip to
Portland, hang out and ride the lightrail. We
could go to Vancouver and ride their bus system,
or Seattle. Another idea is to build an
alternatively fueled vehicle.
To find out more come to Monday 's
meeting at 6:30 3rd Floor of the CAB in the pit.
We, the students of the Evergreen State
. ".(,ollege, voted last spring. We voted to institute
afeefor.the unlimited use of! ntercity Transit's
buses. This past fa ll the bus fee, the extra $12
; that you, paid for tuition, is being used to pay
this service. I therefore ask you to use your fee.
Ride the bus. It is easy and relaxing. However,
it I)ot always convenient. We are constrained
by the times which the bus runs. We cannot
easily get to the Westside after 7 P.M., alld the
la ~t bu~out of downtown is atlO:30.1 think that
we should have bus service ex tend ed. This
should not be a want, but a need.
It is a nred for safety. This need is most
common on nights when we go out and haw
fun on and utT ca mpus. It would be foolish to
ignore the fact that many of us do drink and it
sucks to be the designated driver. It sucks even
more when you have to ca ll a cab and pay 10
bucks to go only a few mib. Even worsr would
be if someone decided to drive. We should
extend bus service to give all of us another
option.
We also should have the option olgoing
to a later movie and not have to worry about
getting the bus. We should nut have to worry
about returning a video or picking up groceries
at later hours. We should not have to worry
about being dependent on our cars. We have
the ability to remove our worries. All we have
to,do is ask for it.
As part of the agreement that was voted
in last spring, there was a line that allows
students to use any fee surplus. In order to start
the process we need to do some background
work. But, each of US, me included, is too busy
to go italone. I am asking you to help get bus
service extended.

Well someone did! The Washington State
· Oepwtment of Transportation granted The
, ··1i<.Evergreep State College $40,000 recently.
Actually "itwas granted to Students &
\' Actiyities. YoU remember last year the bus
servi~e was fre~. It was free because S&A paid
\forairial run. They paid for it because the S&A
'. 9pafq appropriated the funds two years ago.
lrany of those members are still around, say
thanks to them.
Also say thanks to David Riccardo, a
recent TESC graduate who applied for the
grant last spring. He did this on his own accord
afterhe discovered that DOT was dishing out
$325,000. He (we) did not expect to get
anything, but it was worth a shot. The shot was
accurate and we got $40,000. Therefo re, it
could almost be considered a gift. The gift
($40.000 check) is written out to S&A as a
reimbursement.
We are all students. Th ere fore, since S&A
is comprised of student fees, we could consider
that the $40,000 check is made out to us.
Looking at it in thi s light (imagine a halo
around a big pile of cash) the check is ours to
spend or save as we wish. If we ...do not step
·,forward, tb~p1oney could be put back in to the
~~A "g~p·efa~Jund." It could be spent on
sotpet/'i~rtg oth ~ r than what it was intended for,
! t(iihspohatiog;
;. .~,,'\.I tSP4rppse is to pay us back the bus pass.
Sinc,~it wa~;; 'not expected, it is this student's

For out of state students, reSidency, or
specifically the acquisition ofits deSignation,
is a serious issue. Like presumably most other
colleges or universities, Evergreen lI1aintains
its position that resident status is meant to
be granted only to those who intend to
become permanent residents of Washington.
whose education at Evergreen is secondary
and incidental. This position is basically
propaganda.
Asserting that resident status is not a
'mea ns to a cheaper education' is a gross
misrepresentation of reality. That may be
what the school chooses to portray to
potential residents , but technically and I
think it could be proved legally, and even
constitutionally. there is no basis for the
logistical and conjectural tap-dance behind
which the residency department and it's
poliCies hide.
Ofcourse resident status is a means to
a cheaper education. The school/state's
policy supports the idea that resident status
is not intended to be a means to a cheaper
education, but to suggest otherwise is
basically lying. Whoop-dee freakin' doo! So
it's not intended to be a means to a cheaper
education , but it is! Lethal weapons weren't
invented with the intention of killing
innocent people, but they do. Burning fossil
nlels wasn't originally intended to pollute the
environment, but it does. The WTO wasn't
created with the intent to oppress, but it does.
So I think we've established that intent does
not dictate effect. When one gains resident
status, the cost of tuition is less than that of
non-resident status. I'd say that is a means to
a cheaper education. All the rhetoric is, of
course, in support of the school's best
interests, which is having as much funding
as possible. They want more money and who
doesn 't? But here's where the major hang·up
in the residency issue comes in.
There are many logistical hoops
through which one must jump on the long
and arduous road to resident status. And
they're there for a reason. It's a way to make
the otherwise arbitrary judgement made by
the state, regarding student's intentions to
become a permanent resident of
Washington, remotely tangible. Basically the
state is legally allowed to make a grossly
arbitrary judgement on the residency
candidate's intentions. (There's that word
again.) Specifically, deCiding whether you
intend to be a permanent resident of the State
of Washington. One's intentions are entirely
intangible, as no one, not even you, know
what you're goiT/gto do. You may have plans,
but that in no way even implies, and least of
all determines, what will happen in the
futur e.
Moving to Washington for the purpose
of education isn 't a crime, and residency
candidates shouldn't be figuratively charged
with and financially punished for
pr~meditated residency. The hoops through
which the resident candidate jumps (driver's
license , voter registration, federal taxes,
1ao VARIETIES
vehicle registration, the list goes on, way on)
are a basis for which the state's judgement is
decided. So if you can manage to get all of
the requirements taken care of
simultaneously and before you actually
graduate, you might be allowed into the
executive washroom otherwise known as
resident status. I said let in ... they won't give
you a key. There's only one key and I've heard
it's shaped like the state of Washington and
ornamented with a skull laughing and
pointing at you. I've never seen it myself,
though.
There is hope. If you do manage to jump·
through all of the hoops and assuage the
bidding of the residency gods (or maybe
devils would be more appropriate as my own
experience would suggest; but I'm not bitter!)
then you've got a good chance.
Mostly you need time. Most of the
requirements have to have been in place for
a full year prior to the term for which the
student is applying, which leads nicely into
the next problem with how Evergreen
handles residency.
It's actually possible to attain resident
status right after that first year but it requires
preparation before you ever get to school,
mostly because of taxes and having your
parents not claim you as a dependant. If they
had told me, when I visited in March of my
senior year of high school. all the things I
know now having been through the process,
I could have saved a lot of money and even
more aggravation.
I attended the meeting held for
prospective students about residency. It was
billed as, or at least the participants
assumption seemed reasonable that it was:
an interactive lecture to inform prospective
students and their parents about residency
as a concept and how to gain its designation
and lower tuition costs. Instead, not only did
it not give me all the information I needed (l
thought it did at the time but now I
understand better) but it was basically a
meeting telling us why we shouldn't and
probably can't gel residency so we shouldn 't
even try. That's the bigger brother protective
and nurturing attitude I like to see from my
place of higher education. Or maybe I should
say just education, given Evergreen's recently
pertinent accreditation issues.
So bureaucracy strikes again. Just when
you think it's looking the other way or
vacationing ill Russia touring the homes and
prize-winning gardens of history's greatest
fascist dictators, it cracks its well·tanned whip
and brings us to our knees. Although, let's not
forget the service it provides us, which is
fodder for adding columns that confuse the
reader and trivialize serious issues.
What is this crazy talk? Set me straight:
Drop off your brief responses at the CPJ for
print and comment in future Jane Doe
columns. It makes things more interesting,
and besides, how can you let me go on
thinking like this?

Beyond the Valley
of the Dorms
A nell' column
about
my
temperamental shootings of the mouth.
Note: Wench is not a derugatory terlJl, but
is the Renaissance Equivalent of "Chick " or
"Babe "(Letters ofAdvice and Personal Ad s
are to be sent to cpj@evergree11.edu, c/o
Grumpy Wench)
I spent eight years on my own trying to
escape from the dorms. Now when I say home,
I mean a real house. There are no random
boyfriends who don't pay the rent or wayward
people camping in my bathroom. And I am not
a random person flopping in someone's hOllSe,
either. Here there is no 6 foot 5 inch
transsexllallandlord wearing a size·ten silk slip
demanding money you don 't owe him in a high
falsetto. There are no uncared for pets. There
are no illega l substances anywhere or the
random devices you use to smoke them. A
giant glass bong is not the crowning
centerpiece of our house. We have Zen rocks
and stick arrangement. We have a real kitchen
that is never too dirty to cook in. We have a
living room for living. There are no cigarette
ashes or chew dumped in coke cans, and there
are no beer bottles outside the window. I still
am utterly pleased to entertain and proud to
have people visit and entertain.
My last donn was my house with which
the turn of every quarter itwas populated with
people who thought I was the maid. (BTW
There are actually students this year who have
paid live-in "maids" in their dorms. Sounds
like exploitation to me. People are supposed
to be taught how to clean up after themselves.
What kind of stupid parents neglect to teach
their kids how to cook, drive, or do their own
damn laundry? Yet they think its okay to buy
them a maid? AGHHH!) I eventually came to
the realization that despite how much I loved
rolling out of bed and getting ready for class in
fifteen minutes, I could never make it my
home.
To tell the truth all this happened to me
because of my first year here. I never
underestimate the principles of bad/good
karma . Back then it was like a Russ Meyer
movie, and just as scary, too. Ah ... to be a
twenty·two year old sophomore again. Then, I
was the one driving my roommates nuts. I was
awful, dragging my boyfriends around in
various stages of undress, jumping in and out
of my wi ndow a t all hours. I was a big
pretentious jerk. And for this I am truly sorry.

to lots of parties , knew all the right people, and
had many mind-altering experiences. It was
tUn and it took the good energy right out of
me. Pretty soon I was a thousand dollars in
the red and I couldn't stay awake in class.
I took a leave of absence before I was
kicked out and took a degrading and humbling
public service job in Seattle to earn my way
back to Evergreen. When I came back it never
was quite the same as that first wild year of
excess, but it taught me many life lessons .
Maybe it's because in Dec 1998, I quit the-three
vices. (bud, booze, and boys/babes) and that
can make anyone extra cranky. Judge as you
will, what doesn't kill us makes us stronger.
My last dorm I li ved in for th irteen
months straight. In that time I had thirty
diflerent roommates, plus about eight random
prolonged guests, one dog, one hedgehog, and
one hapless little cat. I probably washed over
a thousand dishes, and threw about 100 away.
After awhile you don 't really care much at all,
you just hide in your room and never come out.
And in June, being the responsible one, I was
left with eight giants bags of unsorted garbage
and a kitchen full of food. And I had to pay
$120 dollars for a place I always kept clean,
because no one would admit to it, and sign me
off. It really sucked!!!!
Each day, we working-class joes, we
poverty class social climbers, we pull ourselves
out of bed, despite the odds against us (poverty,
no food, no books, learning disabilities), and
come here to learn . Be kind to yourself and
your roommates. Take care of the place you
live in . The dorms are not disposable, they
are a great place to live. And for some, this is
their unly home. As long as we keep trying to
learn a way out, I know there is hope for us.
Through hunger, broken cars, sleeping on the
floor, and reading our texts from the Library
reserve, I feel that myself and others will have
earned a greater understanding of the
importance of our education. This college
degree will mean something special to me . I
hope for you and t, that it will give us the wings
to fly to where we want to go. There is a place
beyond this valley of the dorms, and hopefully
1 will find a place for myself out there in the
big scary real world.

on the diaries of Arthur Bremer. Bremer was
the man respon sible for paralyzing Gov.
George Wallace during his 1972 presidential

Before setting his sights on Wallace,
Bremer stalked Richard Nixon to Canada in an
atteinpt to put the kibosh on Tricky Dick's life.
What stopped Bremer from assassinating
Nixon was that he couldn't get close enough
due to the swarms of Vietnam protesters. In
~is journal Bremer had as much contempt for
the protesters as he did for the powers that be.
He referred to them as marginal and
unimportant.
With all this hub-bub here at Evergreen

'he WTO may be far from perfect but
imperfection is human nature. If the WfO is
so fundamentally evil why are there a 134
countries in it? Despite its flaws thr fact

in theory) an equal vote.
I hate to be so blunt but you are marginal.
YOli can't stop the WIG. I seriollsly doubt that
a global organization is going to be weakened
by groups of powerless people "reclaiming the

As for Mumia.
think some
congratulations are in order for having him
speak at last years graduation. A graduation
speaker should open the eyes ofthe graduating
class they speak to. Having Mumia speak gave
graduating students a glance at human misery
on parade, meaning the wife ohhe victim AbuJamal allegedly shot. Whether or not he is
guilty is besides the point. The simple thct of
the matter is that by having Mumia speak at
graduation, our school ripped open the
wounds of that woman. Wounds that
sometimes never heal. If you want a voice of
social consciousness get Ralph Nader or
somebody of that ilk. The pain Evergreen
caused that woman far outweighs the insight
Munna AbuJamal could possibly instill in the
students. To all those that carne up wilh idea
of having Mumia speak at graduation and
those that supported it I congratulate you;
Good going jackasses.
I empathize with wanting to make the
world better. Picking things like Mumia and
the WIO won't do it. Long after you graduate
(or drop out) Mumia will still be in jail and the
WIO will still exist.

This article was a collaborative effort
between Loa Arnoth, Jesse Harter, and
Mikel Reparaz.
jessie Smith and Lua Arnoth have been
Irainingwith the Bak Shao lin Eagle Claw Kung
Fu team over tht' past two yea rs. Smith and
Arnoth have very different backgrounds alld
reasons for joining the club, but they have
received similar benefits and advice that they
recommend for other womm. During this
time, they have aeh ieved the rank of cocaptains and are both on the Bak Shaolin Eagle

J"<~ i e Smi th had studied Tae Kwon Do a

also studied Kun g Fli and when they, would
spar or grapple, Smith was always impressed
With t.he strength and effectivrness ofthe Kung
I·u stnkes. She drcided then that she would find
a style of Kung Fu that was right for her.
Two years ago, Jessie Smi th visited the
Evergreen State College and it was then that
she saw the poster and Internet site for the Bak
Shaulin Eagle Claw Kun Fu club and decided
to give it a try. She checked out the site on the
Internet and became interested in this
particular Kung Fu style. One year ago she
began attending Evergreen and went to her
first Kung Fu class. Smith was impressed with
what she saw.
"I was welcomed, and I sensed the
strength and unity ofits members. I wanted to
be part of a community that was strong and
positive, and I have been attending classes ever
since."
Smith originally attended one or two
training classes a week. She had difficulty
adjusting to her new living environment and
~ealing with the stresses of school and personal
lIfe, but Kung fu helped her during this difficult
time.
"My Kung Fu training helped me work
though those stresses by teaching me selfdiscipline, awareness and control. I trained
harder and harder after realizing how much it
made me feel centered and in control of myself.
I learned how to take responsibility for my
actions and work towards positive goals. My
body became stronger and my mind followed.
I felt healthier than I ever had in my life."
Loa Arnoth, in her second year at The
Evergreen State College met a few of the
members and the national coach. They invited
her to come and tryout their class. She went
and really liked it. She says that the training is
challenging but the benefits keep her coming
back.

Overall, Arnuth says that Kung Fu has
given her more energy to SlIpport her in school,
her job, and her prrsonal life.

Loa Arnoth had her first competition

years in Tae Kwon Do and never had the

she was very nervous during the tournamrnt,

Desp ite her tension, she won her first gold
medal in the Beginner Women 's Fighting

Nine lucky students have been selected and
primed for this year's round of student money
distribution.
The all-student Services and Activities
Board is collectively responsible for disperSing
approximately $311,000 of student money this
year.
The members are hired at the beginning of
each school year to accomplish one thing: to
match college money with the needs of
Evergreen's student groups.
"It's a huge responsibility," said Board
Coordinator Joe Groshong. "Even though we're
not elected, there's still the sense that people on
the Board are representing the interests of
students."
Groups like Umoja and the Native Students
Alliance wish to promote cultural awareness
while the Evergreen Political Information Center
tries to spotlight global and national governance
issues. KAOS, the Cooper Point Journal and
Slightly West aim to offer a forum for student
voice. The Students for Christ support a religious
belief, and the Giant Robot Appreciation Society
offers weekly movies.
One common thread between these groups
is the need for supplies, space and other
resources to help them get off the ground and

do their job. This takes money and it's up to the
Board to decide how much they get.
"We're there to be investors of student fees," Joe
said.
The Board makes decisions with many questions
in mind:
• Are the group's activities consistent with their
intent? • How many students are attending
their events?
• Is there any danger involved?
• What other student services might be
neglected?
• How will the money be spent?
Last year the Board had a a lot to consider
before spending $500 thousand on a new
Childcare Center. They conducted a survey and
received 700 responses. Most were in favor of the
new building. The Board also had to consider the
other developement needs on campus, how
many students would actually benefit from the
building , and how would the money be
specifically applied.
But most importantly, the Board needs to
keep personal agendas out of the equation.
"We're there to fund, not to have opinions," Joe
said. "The Board doesn't have the authority to
tell a group it can't come into existence."
Any group that wants funding must present their
proposal to the Board. At the end of the year, the
money is allocated.

A note from Art Costantino
On jan 8, 1999 I convened the Student
Employment DTF to consider a number of issues
associated with student employment. This past
summer I received a draft of the Dl'F's
recommendations and I recently received the final
report of the DTF.
The DTF recommended the establishment of
a student employment office that would perform a
number of important functions, including:
oimplementing a wage scale guide
ocompletion of student employment
paperwork
ocreation of a web page on student
employment
oprovision of training on issues relating to
student employment
odevelopment of a student employee
evaluation process
creation of a database of all available student
positions on and off campus
The recommendations of the DTF also
included a revision of the Student Employee
Grievance process and implementation of twicemonthly paychecks for student employees to begin
after the establishment of the student employment
office.
Last year, the Board dealt with 'Tier l'
groups. This means the College Recreation
Center, KAOS, Cooper Point Journal , the
Childcare Center, and the Student Activities
administration. These groups go through the
funding process every other year.
This year, the Board works only on the rest
of the groups - 'Tier 2.' They have to ask for
funding every year. During this process, the
Board has many hurdles to overcome.
One member, Darren Schaffer, laughed,
saying, ''The group dynamiCS are going to be
interesting. "
Indeed, the Board has to spend time learning
how to work together, and how to make decisions
in the best interests of the students. Joe says that
they work hard at it.
"Our decision is always grounded in something,"
he said. "We don't make decisions in a vacuum."
Approximately $355
per student will go to
S&A funds this year.
Where does
MY
money go?
According to Budget Officer
Steve Trotter, trying to figure
out exactly what your tuition
pays for is impossible.
"It'd be much like going to a
grocery store and saying,
'These two cans of beans will
be paid for from one pocket
and the bread and potatoes
come from this pocket'."
Rather, Trotter said most of
us pile stuff in the cart and
check all our pockets for
enough money to pay. That's
pretty much how the school
spends money.
And, we can't ever really tell
people which pocket paid for
what, we just know we came
home with the goods.

Don't despair as you look over your book
list for next quarter. Whether you're broke or
bedridden, you have options. Three, to be exact:
online, on campus, and downtown, at Orca
Books.
Online bookstores offer some convenience,
if you have a computer and don't mind your
money leaving the community. Both the campus
bookstore and Orca Books offer used books if
you're worried about money and don't mind
wa lking across campus or driving downtown.
There are other options, of course. You can
buy popular literature at Barnes & Noble, for
example, where all hardbacks are discounted ten
percent. Only the campus bookstore, Orca
Books, and the online bookstores order directly
from our booklists, however.
Speaking of online bookstores, the most
prominent is efollett.com, sponsor of college
football's "Lineman of the Week" television
feature. The October issue of PC Magazine
declared, "If efollett.com doesn't have your book
in stock, chances are you don't need it for your
class." That's because state law requires campus
bookstores to make their book lists available to
th e public, courtesy of the Freedom of
Information Act.
ETollett offers their books for 25 percent off
the new book price, but the discount may be
misleading. The National Association ofCollege
Stores is suing another online retailer,
VarsityBooks .com , for false advertising, as
reported in the Nov 5 edition of the NACS's
weekly newsletter.
Pat Miller, interim manager of our campus
bookstore, explained that the NACS accuses
VarsityBooks of manufacturing suggested retail
prices for books that had none, in order to offer
an illusory discount.
Eric Kuhn, CEO of Va rsity Books. com Inc. ,
declared the lawsuit "completely without merit"
in a press release dated November 5.
"Historically, there was very little competition
in the college textbook market, and very little
choice for students," the release continued. "It's
disappointing that the NACS would rather
compete in the courtroom than in the
marketplace."
The NACS countered by reminding
Varsity Books that competition is fine, but false
advertising amounts to cheating. Pat simply
cautions students to shop around before making
their purchases.ETollett will deliver any books
you order to our campus bookstore, free of
charge. If you want them delivered to your door,
it'll cost you $3.95 for the first book and 95 cents
for every book after that.
Pat also pointed out that books shipped
individually require more packaging, per book,
than books shipped together. That packaging
depletes natural resources and adds to our
landfills.
Speaking of books that are shipped
tog ethe r, our cam pus bo 0 ks tore is Ii ke Iy to have
every book you'll need for class. In fact, if the
bookstore doesn't have your book in stock,
chalices are none of your classmates will have it,
either.
New books are frequently less expensive
than elsewhere. That's because the bookstore
doesn't make a profit. If the prices are still too
high, chances are you'll be able to find a used
copy, at least early in the quarter.
Speaking of used books, Orca Books is
located on Fourth Avenue, by the downtown
Safeway. Orca receives a list of all required titles
from Evergreen each quarter. They're able to
order some copies of most of the books on the
list.
New copies are discounted 10 percent and
shelved together with used copies in a designated
area. Standard textbooks (Introductory
Biophysics and that sort of thing) may not be on
the shelves, but you can usually order them.
If you get all the way downtown and
discover you forgot your book list, Orca's staff
can tell you what you need, and if they have it.
The only thing you need to remember is the
name of your program. Of course, the greatest
advantage to buying your books at Orca being
able to use store credit. Orca buys used books,
at half of what they'll sell for. That's if you want
credit. They'll give you cash, if you're more
interested in ramen than reading, but it'll be half
as much again.
You can return books purchased at Orca,
with a receipt. You have thirty days to return new
books, but only two weeks to return used (which
includes new ones you spill beer on). Co-owner
and Evergreen graduate Chari Christians expects
winter quarter books to be on the shelves by Dec
13.
Orca offers far more than schoolbooks, of
course. You can lise leftover credit to make
holiday purchases, or you can spend your cash

The World Trade Organization has been
on the mind of many all over the country and
around the world, No less so has it been on
th e minds of those here in Olympia, and in
particular, of those that are a part of Olympia's
music making community.
On Sunday, Nov. 27, two days before the
mass ive protests, four Olympia bands got
together in Seattle at the Graceland to playa
benefit for the In stitute for Consumer
Responsibility. an organization founded to
help educaH·the public about the'importance
of consumer choices. Other organizations
such as Jampac. the Humane
Society, and the Public Citizen's
Global Trade Watch were also in
attendance with tables crowded
with pamphlets, stickers, and
buttons. The object was to draw in
money and create awareness about
these diHcring issues and to, most
of all. raise support for th e
res ist311ce of the WTO.
The show almost didn 't
happen. however. Originally. th e
Paramount Theater was the
scheduled venue but, due to
pressure from the FBI, the
Paramount denied the reservation
made by the protest groups, In an article
published in the Seattle Times a spokesman for
the Paramount pointed out security reasons for
the cancellation.
Fortunately, the bands and organizations
found a new home in the nick of time at The
Graceland. Although the substitute venue may
have been smaller and more remote the show
was a success. with a good turnout and a
spirited crowd.
The Sub Debs, promoting their just
released first album "She's So Control," began
the show and warmed things up with a short
set of Go-Go's-like cutesy punk.
Soon after, The Tight Bros From Way
CAverage
Reggae Legend:
Back When took the stage and really got the
crowd going. The Tight Bros performanc e
brought on a relentless flood of dirty rock n'
roll. Lead singer, Jared. is a natural frontman.
Jared bounded into the into crowd as often as
he could to stagger around and growl his songs
like a high pitched chainsaw.
Calvin Johnson of Dub Narcotic Sound
System took the stage next. all alone with his
guitar.
Calvin gave one of the best
performallces of the night. entrancing the
crowd with folk-style songs often sung away
from the mic and without musical
accompaniment.
The headliners, Unwound. were last on
the list. Unwound's set was long and dragged
on with bland songs that seemed to hypnotize
the crowd into unconsciousness.
The audience was rescued, however, by a
surprise visit by the Dead Kennedys' Jello
Biafra. Biafra roused the crowd with an
impassioned speech on the evils of the WTO
and on the benefits of consuming less. In the
end, after a full day of music and information ,
the concertgoers were sent home packing a
whole lot to think about and to act upon.

The Annual Iioliday Native Art Fair is

disease, there is inju stice everywhere," said
Fearon. Higher crime and harder forms of drug
use, less job security and luw wages were found
everywhere by Fearon. From his observations
came the title of Fearon's latest album, "What A
System," The systems of cuntrol and influence in
Jamaica and around the world. Fearon fee ls, are
the cause of the hardships he saw. "In l'wry area",
said Fearon. "you see
the system - the
churches soft en yo u
lip so the poli ticia ns
ca n sonen you up."
Th oug h 1I111 Ch of
Ciiliion Fearon 's
lyrics haw a polit ica l
ti nge an d deal with
harsh social realities ,
the music Ihat
accompanies Ihe
words is upliftin g
and
po si tive ly
charged. Fearon's
voice is warm and
deeply textur~d,
fitting comfortably
with the old style
"roots" reggae he
and his I~oogie
Brown Band play.
Fearon sees hi s
band's musir as
something that is a
step away from the
norm of what is
produced in reggae
today. "Now they use machines to do the music,
using samples, using somebody else's bass line.
Our music is not just pure party vibe. You can
dance to it, but we bring melody and our lyrics
are food for thought," said Fearon.
When asked to describe what to expect at
his upcoming show thi s weekend. Fearon
responded, "Expert a feel-good roots vi be and to
walk out smiling."

B - Do n't yo u think you wo uld have be('n a good

J - I've neveL I'd probably be good at being a dungeon
master. but I just... for solTte reason I'm just nut. .. Fur
so me reason that who le attention spa n thing is the
hard thing._.1 don't know.
B- I think t he mythos is tu entertain and not let people
get bored - by changing up the songs and the press,
entertaining the press_
J - For lTte it's more. cause I write the tunes... I have to
think ... I write all these riffs and tunes and
arrangements down , and I have to put a name to ·em.
so I was just thinkin' about stuff and just kind of put a
name tn iL And thelL. a sorcererromes to mind while
I'm writing it. And then after that, when I'm playing
it, it's just- . yuu know_._ for th e luve of rock music Just
to rock out. To have fun.
James - Wh o read the
"Trilogy" beginnin g on
yo ur record?
J - A friend of ours named
Steve Melka.
James - Did he write thai .
or was it from th e Ilohhit'!
J - No. no. I wrote that .
actually. And th en I gave
it to Stew and he wrote a

(.several of li S repeat at onee)
T - Ilu t now you're three .
J - Yeah. now we're gunna see how we go wilh three

II - And we're gunna rewrite "The Legend uf the Twu"
now.
J - We have hL llIake a sequel to it. Or something.
T - So Tim . what do you have to say about all this?
T - Well. I hope to bring an other lewl to it. _. to rock
with th em_
J - Tn rnck amungst us_
J - II would be ni ce for me. so I wouldn't have to do
othpr stutr And it would be nice for Tim tu get better
and stuff. Cau se I know when we're writing this stuff.
it 's hard to write this stuff. it takes a lot of time and
stllff.
T - 1I's Ithe music hasl got a lot of change in it.
J - .. .And tryin' to write stuff that pushes your abi lity
to play. YOll just get better at it.
B- We should try and get credi t. I need Iii more credits.
But I'd have tu read a buok ___ Dang.
'\' - About that show in Chicago. the Tibetan Freedom
Concert . what was that like? You were working with
Eddie Vedder. right? And Pete Townsend. too. at some
point'l
J - Yeah. that was a different show thuugh. We played
the Tibetan Freedom concert last sum meL A year ago
we met him IEddieJ- We played a few benefit shows
with him owr the summer. an d then at th e end of our
tour. in November. we played as his hack-up band.
Mainly doi ng henefits. whieh was cool. lie was trying
to help out , with his position of notoriety.
T - They s . I called you gtl)'lX-Al'erage. right?
J -Yea h or the la st show th ey did. That was Eddie's
doin . beca uS(' he wanted to give us props or
sam hing like th at. but rea lly. that wasn't C-Average.
U - Jon plays bass_
J - Eddie plays guitar. and we're a three-pi ece ga rage
roc k band . .
1' - So he writes th e sungs.
J - Wel l. we did lot s of covers. mm tl y. We ended up
doing a Pea rl Jam song and a hal f.
T - So what kind of guy is Eddie'!
J - lle's a pretty nin° goy. (Des pite repeated attelllpts
to dig deepe r. Jon won't reveal anything more than
this.)
Jallles - What do you think of people wh o sO llnd like
so meo ne else. like a clo ne'!
J - It's best just to go out and try and see some uf those
hands, jllst tu lIIake YU ll r own uel'isiun on it. I.ike a
good examp le for me is going to see so meone like the
Tight Bros_ . nr The Charnps _ Where you can tell what
their influences are. but when YUll see th em live. it's
like yo u're seeing it for the first time. and since non e
of thuse olcler bands are around anymore. you can't
see them. but a good copy might be coo l. And that 's
another thin g. like that hu ge tribute band
phenomenon_
B - Well that just reflects the absence of new ideas in
roc k: Recycling.
J - It's like ruck isn't that old. it 's been around since the
50s. and its kind of run it's course.
B - Good music is timeless_ Good rock is timeless_
T -You guys have a show cuming up on Friday the third.
right?
J - Yeah. Tight Bros_. Dead Moun. and Bacchus_ It's on
the flyer. It 's going to be at The Capitol. Loud as hell.
T - And will you guys be gui ng on tour again soon?
J - No! We just got back_
B - We'lI go on tour again in March or April.
T - Okay. su what was it like meeting Pete Townsend?
(A long silence and a big grin from Jon, with his eyes
closed and hands in the aiL)
James - (laughing) windmill or whatever.
B- 1can describe it...
J - No! That's my special thing right nuw_ L I'm
reluctant to describe it in detail.
T - What was it like?
be.e.ver
likt.. a rCA.4l.~ ytll41'\ ,9rr.Aebl{eJ1
?('o.njU"l~n. 'tt'\ ~;s via Ie..-t
1hats a
500 c.\
J - 1._. II was great. it was like watching a little TV miniseries inside yourself. yo u know.
B - It was like, "Hi, how 's it gain"! Here's my gu it ar."
T - He let you touch his guitar?
J - He let me play it! I played it on stage. two nights in
a row. with him. I'll tell you this, we were talking about
something and I said something, and his reaction was
like. "coo'. coo·... He just said something that was like
something I say to everyone. and it was like lexplosion
noise l it wa s just like this real perso n.
B - It's like meeting your girlfriend's dad_
T - Okay. nuw I'm goin g to ask one final qu estion here
- and I hope this doesn't sound rude tu )'ou. Jon_ If
Pete Tow nsend was descended from a race of Middle
Earth. which one would hl' be?
J - I'd have tu say, yuu know. I'd have to say Elf Elf or
humalL But you know. humans. they're just kind of
li ke the red-shirts in Star Trek. They're tire first to go .. _
Though actua lly I guess they're the last.
T - I don't know. I haven't read Tile Lord ortlle Rings.
Are yuu just talking about th e cartoon. or. .. '!
J - Yeah. well. I mean the whole thing. wh ere man is
the only living race left from that tim e.
T - Oh yea h. I guess th ey all killed each ot her offin the
end_
J - Well. yeah. they just kind of disappeared into the
woods and decided not to both er the men_
T - Is it a coincidence that your tirst band was ca ll ed
"The Nuses"? (Implying Pete Townsend's nose had
so mething to do with it.)
J - Yeah. it is.... It didn't have anyt hing to do with it.
Although later I thought about it, that it was a little
weird. But that was just me. and my influences.
T - All right, thanks you guys . Jon , Brad. and Tim_ I'll
see you on Friday.
C Average is playing on Friday, Dec 3, at 9 p.m.
The show will be held at The Backstage. which is
located behind The Capitol Theater- They will be
playing with garage greats Dead Moon , the goodtime rockers Tight Bros from Way Back When. and
Bact'hus for $6. Stay home and play Parcheesi, but
don't you dare whine and complain that yo u missed it
afterwards!!! I assure you there will be regrets if you
choose to do so.
