7, 1999

Oct. 7 Newsbriefs were written by
several talented and generous
people. Thank you all!
To suggest or submit a newsbrief,
wrangle on up to CAB 316 and talk
to the nice CPJ folks.

Hello and welcome! I thought that I would take the time
to introduce myself. My name is Sinnamon Tierney, and I am
your student trustee that sits on Evergreen's Board of Trustees.
I am in my second year ofthe Masters in Public Administration
program here at Evergreen. I am also a co-coordinator for the
MPA program, a co-editor of the MPA Alumni Newsletter and
volunteer on the United Graduate Student Association Board.
I want to share with you a few items that were discussed
at the Sept. 15, 1999 Board meeting. First. as you may know,
our President, Jane Jervis is retiring. The search to find a new
President is well on its way. A Disappearing Task Force was
formed to take on this task. Applications have started to come
in and the DTF will start reading them on Oct. 11.
Second, there is a proposal to incre:\se the parking fee on
campus. This increase is to accommodate projected growth that
will come with the new classroom building scheduled to begin
construction next biennium. Building codes for new buildings
require adequate parking be constructed at the same time. The
state, however, does not fund the parking portion of thl'
bUilding, that must come out of parking fees. Even with the
increase, Evergreen 's parking costs are still inexpensive
compared to other Washington state colleges. Evergreen's main

campus is looking at options to expand parking by
approximately 550 new stalls - this is approximately the size
of parking lot B.
Third, the Health Center is proposing a $1.50/per quarter
increase. The Health Center has plans to discuss the proposal
with students between now and November. There has not been
any increase in health fees in the past tour years. The proposed
fee increase will help with the State mandated salary increases
and rising costs of medical supplies and equipment.
Finally, the Tacoma campus is about to enter into a new
property lease. This is in order to accommodate existing and
future program needs due to growth. The goal is to move into
the new facility by August of2000.
If you have any questions or comments please contact the
Board at 866-6000 x6103 or e-mail at tescbot.evergreen .edu.
Ml'l'ting datl's are posted on a bulletin board in Student
Activities on the 3rd floor of the CAB - all are welcome to
attend.
Sinnamon has been a student at Evergreen for about three years.
She studies natural resource issues and her biggest interest is
her seven-month old daughter.

-"

Your chance to talk to
President Jervis
Evergreen's president, Jane Jervis, will be hosting several
open meetings during the fall quarter.
Students, staff and faculty are invited to meet with Jervis
near the Deli in the CAB to share conc,erns, ask questions, or to
get acquainted.
'
Meetings are scheduled from 8 to 9 a.m. on Oct. 14, Oct.
21, Nov. 4, Nov. 11 , and Nov.18.
Due to possible scheduling conflicts that may occur, Jervis
suggests calling her office at x6100 to contirm meeting times.

Computing Center has some
classes for the taking
If you'd like to know a bit more about computers, there's
a lovely ensemble of computing classes available for Fall Quarter
through the Computer Center.
Some of the classes require prerequisites either in the form
of a class, or a basic understanding offoundational concepts..
To get the specifics, please call Julian Pietras at x6235.
Otherwise, registration for the classes has begun in the
computer center at the desk.

dogotS&A Board
By Joe Groshong

Last year Evergreen came pretty close.
The school almost had a student
government.
A number of students who thought
that it was about time that Evergreen had
an official student government organized
and began preparing the necessary bylaws
and operational procedure for a studen t
government. They got so far as to consider
having a school wide vote to ratify or reject
their proposed student government.
However, they did not get any further
than this stage, and as many Greeners
know, Evergreen as never had a student
government and still does not.
Last year's effort to institute one was
not the first. Several years ago, a schoolwide vote did take place to determine what
kind of student governance to implem ent
at Evergreen .

This effort, like others, did not get to
the implementation stage. Evergreen does
not have a student government and it does
not appear that we will be getting one any
time soon.
While this lack seems to be OK with
students, there have occasionally been
rumblings from administrative areas of the
college that it would be nice if the students
had a singular collective voice.
Until more than a handful of students
become interested in developing a student
government at Evergreen this kind of
representation is unlikely to become reality.
The closest thing tha! Evergreen has to a
student government is the collective S&A.
On the third floor of the CAB, the Services
and Activities heart of the college involves
over 50 student groups including the Latin
American Solidarity Organization , the
Environmental Resource Center, and
Amnesty International.
Still, these groups have wide ranging
interests and no collective voice. From an
administrative standpoint th~re is a group
that does cover an important aspect of what
seems to dominat e student gove rnments at

Media Services, a part of The Evergreen State College Library, has undergone
so mething of a transformation over the summer, both cosmetically and functionally.
In response to changing campus needs, some equipment, staff, and resources have
been moved. The most obvious effect of this reorganization involves the closing of
the Media Resource Center. The MRC was located on the first floor in Ll302. That
area is still open as the general Media Services Information and production support
desk, x6270, but the video viewing/dubbing and audio workstations have all been
moved to other, more accessible areas of the Library.
All that equipment has now been replaced with a central service counter
surrounded by an apparent oasis of palm fronds, beach views, and even a water
fountain, open from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday. This area is now staffed
by Ken Wilhelm, Electronic Media Producer, and Allegra Hinkle, Media Services
Manager, both long-time veterans of the intricacies of Media Studies and support
at Evergreen, ready and waiting to help you find answers to any media-related
dilemma.
Although there is no longer production equipment in this area, the MRC will
provide many services and generally act as a clearing house for questions, one of
which will ce rtainly be. Where did you put all that nice equipment?

A Reflection
on Reflections

Alphabet soup: Roommates

by Christine Redding
by Maya Penyon

Wow-! There it is. sitting there in the green
trees, all ronrrete and red brick, a world of its UWIl '
And what's that glow around it? Why, it must be the
aura of eager lean ling and enthu~iastic educating!
All those evolving relationships and the revelations
ofSeUln a new environment.! And what 's that bluish
haze in the air? Must be all the drugs them greener
hippies are always sllIokill 'Up there ... And th at
noisl'-the cries of the politically correct catchillg
sight ofa real fur mitten? Orthe voices of}QlIth and
idealism, th e all-American song of dissent and
challenge to stale traditions andpowers'!
Every tim e yo u step out of the world of
Evergreen and into the community that has it
surrounded, you're going to find that everyone you
meet is holding up a mirror, alld you will see yourself
as others see ... you? Probably not. You'll sec
something of what the one holding that mirror
sees-the expectations, the hopes and lears, the
distortions of previous experience ... Sometimes
you'll see someone better than you think YOll are,
sometimes it will be all utter slra nger. And however
you interact with th at person will add allot her
element to that retlection.
But wait. there's more! You arc ca rrying a
mirror, too. (Have you polished it up lately? Checked
fo r bug specks and dandruH' alld little hairlille
fractures'!) What will reflect in your mirror, as it
reflects in someone else's mirror, reflecting your
mirror reflecting their mirror ... WHOA!
TIle point is, we're all heretugetll~r,andwe're
all special and we're all the same,we'reeach the hero
ofour own story, we're everyone ofus working hard
at building our own castle. Welcome to Evergreen!
Welcome to Olympia! Wei rome to the shops and
movies and plays and streets and rrstaurants and
park~ and bllses alld neighborhoods ... everything
well be sharing over the next several years.
See you!

I was prett y anxious t o lIl eet my
room mat es . es pec iall y aft er being here
alone for a whil e. The first of my three
roolllmates s howed up ear ly in the
morning along with th eir parents, you nger
siblings , and Ih l' family dog . II was a trip
for me to see. The family was like th ey were
torn out of so me televisio n ep isode. I had
to watch my mann er s and facial
ex pressions becau se th ese were th e type of
people I usuall y made fun of when I wou ld
see them out ana about, driving their
forest green SUV's, sipping lattes, cell
phone glu ed to one ea r, their kid s blas tin g
annoyin g pop music a t top volume to
drown out th e rattl e of the Titanium
mountain bikes on the roof rack . The girl,
(whom I will ca ll "Brittany") was nice. She
had hippie a la hip-h op mall chi ck written
all ove r her, the ca rt oo n-imprinted ultratight hall ~~ hirt.lh e flar ed baggy pants, Ih e
double ponytails , and th e skechers with
the 3" soles. I didll 't say mu ch to her at fir sl
because I jusl woke up. 1'\11 nol Ii'l miss
morning persoll .
By the tim e I showered and dressed,
another roommat e arrived. Thi s girl
(hmm, lei 's call her "Cedar") was a cla ssic
Evergreen t ype, mor e like what I was
('x pecting- blonde dreads, long skirt with
pants on under ii, no makeup but lots of
pat chouli . She callie with her mom (a
quintessential post-Kennedy era middlecla ss lib e ral. co mplet e with old Peace
Co rps slories ) alld sister, a rec e ntl y~radllated "Greener. " I co uld instantl y tell
Ihat her sister used to go here by th e way
th at she talk ed abo ut the dorms and th e
sc hool. While helping both girl s move in,
Hrit tall Y's parents kepi as king me the usua l
assortmrllt of use less questions, especiall y
abo ut drugs on ca mpu s. So th a t they

wou ldn't trip out, I just "playe d th e role,"
sa id a few ni ce thin gs, and ac ted like I didn't
rece ntl y see Ceda r and her sister ca rr y in a
four foo t mondo bong and empty bottl es of
tequila that are now being used as ca ndl e
holders. I tri ed to help out, talk ed with
everyo Tl e for aw hil e, and th en took off. I
was ll 't tr ying to be rude-I was jLlst hun gry.
I walked to upper ca mpus and see n the
Orie nt at ion Day cir cus . It was funny
watchillg all of the s tud ent s and their
interaction s with their parents. My mom
was so different, she was lik e, "go in g to
co llege'! Well , see you later" like I was going
down to th e deli and I would be back before
her favorit e show was over. I had see n a few
people I had hung out with at the
orientation. It was nice to see so me familiar
faces. All during the week, we all hooked up
and went to a few of the Orientation events
then ran around taking care of business and
loo king for other peo ple we knew. When I
wasn 't with my Tlew fri ends , I hun g with my
dor m mates.
Brittany, Cedar, and I got along pret ty
well, betler than I'd expected. It ha s been
sa id that music is the langu age of many.
That co uld not have bee n truer than at our
dorm. We all liked about the sa me stuff;
reggae, hip-h op, and old soul. They won two
"cool cook ies" from me when I was playing
so me old Aretha Franklin a nd some AI
Green and th ey seemed to know what was
up with it. From there it go t easy, we found
out we all had a lot in common. We hit as
man y parties as we could over the weekend.
We went down to the beach and out to th e
me ado ws a coup le of tim es. Th ere were
qllite a few pa rties in th e "soup. " After
talkin g 10 Cedar's sis ter I was expec tin g allout chaos. She told me about parties where
appli ances were tossed off of th e balconies
of "A" dorm, drunken people being ca rried
ofTlik e th e gridiron injured, and Army guys
from Fort Lew is c ra s hin g parties and

fu cking up th e place. She also told;'e about
these girl s , th e "So rorit y Girls, " Jasmine,
Alana, and Meg. Th ey were kind of
lege ndary for toss ing th e craziest parties on
ca mpus. So meone pointed them out to me
at a "1'" dorm party later on th at week. One
of my roommates kn ew one of their yo un ger
sisters who also goes here. I have met a lot
of st udents whose siblings and/or parents
went to Evergreen back in the day.
During the days we ran around doing
all of the academic stuff and at night we just
dorm hopped looking for shit to do, It was
easy to forget that in a couple of days this
routine we had developed would have t o
change. We couldn't kick it like this when
our classes started. The last roommate
showed up later that week . We were all
wondering wh en she would finally move in .
I was gone when she moved her stuff in so I
didn't get to see her parents. The girls told
me that the new girl, "Elisabeth ," had just
had the bigges t argument with her dad, so I
didn 't mess with her much. I really couldn't
sum her up the wa y I attempted to do with
th e others; her vibe was a little strange and
she actcd like she didn't want to be here.
Being the last to move in probably didn 't
help. It must have bee n a little intimidatin g
to move into a place with thre e other girls
who were already in a little clique.

In creas in g funding for student a id is one of the best inves tment s Co ngress can
make in Ameri ca's future . By givin g lIlore stud ents th e ability to afford a college
education, we build a stronger workforce and expa nd opportunities.
Unfortunat ely, our elected officials hav e not heeded this advice in the past.
Ove r Ihe past two decades, student aid funding has not kept pace with inflation or
rising co llege costs.
.
The Pell Grant is one good examp le. Largest of th e stud ent aid programs , th e
Pell Gra nt currently supports over 3.7 million students in th eir educ ati o nal
e ndeavors. In the lat e 1970s, the maximum Pell Gra nt a st udent could qualify. for
paid three-quart ers of the average cost of attendance at a fo ur- year pu blic universit y
and one-third of th e cos t of a pri va te univ erSI ty. Due to poo r fundmg ove r the years ,
thos e figures ha ve dropped prec ipitou s ly. Today , the maximum P ~ ll Grant pays for
o nl y one-third of th e average cos t of attendance at a publtc Ulllversity and oneseve nth of th e cost of a pri va te univ ersit y.
. .
.
With federal budget surpluses lo om in g, th ere is no reaso n for thI S SItuatIOn
to co ntinu e.
Representative Baird should do eve ryt hin g possible to give stud ent a id th e fund in g
in crease it n eeds.

On my quest for health I have discovercd

Luring Cinema Aficionados for

the Sweet Sixteenth

'

Although rugby lingo creates
the ambience of any red light
district. it is a much more socia lly
acceptable way to relieve stress.
Last Wednesday at the
informational meeting. one
seasoned player claimed that her
classes and finals went much
smoother last fall quarter due to
her involvement in rugby. which
offered her a means of release. The
other veteran players listed things
such as fitness. camaraderie. and
just plain fun as additional perks_
While the waiver form caused
some alarm with. lines like "death
can occur....
one of the
coordinators for the club (rugby is
not supported financially by
Evergreen and is therefore not an
official sport) was quick to assure
the newcomers in the assembly
that she had never seen it happen.
Rugby is. however. a fullcontact sport that uses only a
mouth guard and plenty of training
for protection. so a few bruises are
all part of the fun. Perhaps it is just
this aspect of potential. danger
mingled with constant. vigorous
activity and quick decisions that
provides an outlet for all the
pressures of long lines and empty
cupboards.
While rugby is a complicated
and strenuous sport. there is no
call for intimidation. All are
welcome and invited to play.
whether students or not. The
atmosphere at
practice is
supportive and friendly with plenty
of encouragement.
Moriah is a second-year student al
Evergreen. She's into literature and
is involved with the Rugby Club.
She wrote this article with hopes
that a few people. might give rugby
a try.

Cooper Point Journal

For nearly two decades. since its modest
first showings in an old school auditorium to
the double-feature selections at the historic
vaudeville-era Capitol Theater. the Olympia
Film Society (OFS) has brought culturally and
artistically significant cinema to Washington's
Southern Puget Sound. What this means for
residents: each week, OFS offers a diverse
double-feature fare comprised of high-rated
films not found at the mall or in Lacey.
These thoughtful and cutting-edge
movies are the independent. international.
documentary. avant-garde. and establishedclassic films that residents of South Puget
Sound would see only by traveling to Seattle
or Portland. if it weren't for OFS. ",t's one of
the saving graces of Olympia." asserts
filmmaker Marilyn Freeman. who moved to
Olympia from New York City in the early 90s.
"It's one of the things that really sets it apart as
a small community because we do a really great
job of getting fantastic independent films that
we would otherwise never see."
' "Vati~tfMagazine!'rec'el'ltlylisted OFS as
one of the top 10 places in the United States to
view independent and international film. a
significant acclaim given the size of our.
commun ity. Yet Olympia's commitment to

quality film can be gauged by the success of
OFS's yearly showcase. its annual film festival.
Kicked off each autumn by the Opening Night
Gala. the Olympia Film Festival enlivens the
city with 10 days of the best and brightest in
award-win ning cinematic goodies.
Established in 1984. the event has since
evolved into an extravaganza of 30-40 feature
films (including world premieres),
documentaries. shorts. videos. guest artists.
musicians. film scholars. and Cine-X, a
competition of experimental work submitted
from across the nation and beyond. Special
animation, classics. cult classics. and children's
matinee events are featured daily. Olympia's
innovative twist to the concept of an
independent film festival shows in the
continued popularity offestival events like "All
Freakin' Night." the subterranean
smorgasbord oflate night horror films. and the
"Fringe Festival." when alternative
perform!lnce, art. and music move from the
edge to center stage.
Industry visitors are flown from far and
wide to introduce their work and to participate
, in panelliisGussiGns 6VeriS"sues.jn indepeml'"t
cinema. This year's line-up will include
Argentina's renowned filmmaker Eliseo
Subiela. whose films as a writer-director have
a definitive place in contemporary cinema.

celebration. The town will sing a happy Sweet
Sixteen to the Olympia Film Festival with a
champagne toast and cake cutting.
~ The opening night film "Amerikan
Passport" will be presented by its maker.
Evergreen alum Reed Paget. In this whirlwind
comic journey from South Africa to East Berlin.
the most significant events of the decade are seen
from the intimate and extraordinary perspective
of one low-budget traveler.
§a~urday, Oct:. I 6
2:30 p.m. As a student at USc, sci-fi master
George Lucas made the atmospheric "TH X1138." the story of a drone (Robert Duvall) whose
mate replaced his mandatory sedatives with
powerful stimulants, prompting uncomfortable
but undeniably exciting emotions.
7 p.m. Filmmaker Julia Query presents her
pivotal documentary "Live! Nude! Girls! Unite!"
about the unionization efforts of the strippers at
the Lusty Lady strip club ofSan Francisco. Theirs
is the first legally recognized union for sex
workers in the U.S .. in an industry where
exploitation of workers goes largely unregulated.
Followed by a panel discussion with the director
and two of the film's stars.
Midnight "All Freakin :-.1ight" is a much
anticipated evening of macabre thrills. when the
Capitol Theater stays spooked from midnight to
dawn. "13 Ghosts" (in lIlusion-O) is William
Castle's masterpiece of visual trickery. complete
with 3-D special effects. "Dead Alive." a hilarious
epic about a possessive mother zombified by the
bite of a Sumatran Rat Monkey, is one of the most
entertaining movies ever made. in or out of the
horror genre. "A Chinese Ghost Story" is a darkly
comic martial arts horror feature in which an
unwitting traveler teams up with a most able
ghost fighter to fight the dead. the undead. and

11 a.m. A panel discussion on budgeting allows
OFF's guest filmmakers to impart some wisdom
abuut how to transform a tiny sum of money into
the budget for a feature-length picture. This free
Midnight Sun event is a must-attend for anyone
interested in this oft-avoided but decidedly
integral part of the moviemaking process.
7 p.m. "Money Buys Happiness." presented by
Gregg Lachow and Jamie Ilook. is a strange and
moving comedy-drama abuut marital life that is
also the first feature produced by the regionallybased Wiggly World Studios.
Midnight "The Tenth Victim". starring Marcello
Mastroianni, is a campy but clever sci-fi satire.
In the 21st century. war is distant memory and
"The Big Hunt" is the in-thing. The Hunt is an
international game in which contestants vie for
cash awards and product endorsements by trying
to kill each other in public. Ursula Andress is a

since 1990 has increased the visibility of
Olympia's visual. performing. and literary arts.
"We have a vibrant arts community seething
under the surface." Allan said. at the opening
of the first Artswalk. 'This is a good chance for
people to become aware of what's out there."
"I wish more communities had festivals
like this." remarks Chris Robinson. director of
the Ottawa Animation Festival. Olympia's
festival is surprisingly large for a small city. and
OFS is able to pull it off through the vigorous
support of community volunteers. instead of
relying fully on corporate sponsorship.
Robinson was impressed by the festival's
independent spirit when he came in 1996 as
festival guest. 'There are so many festivals that
don't do anything for independent films.
Often. it's all politics. and it's not about the
quality of the art. whereas in Olympia it's really
nice to see such diversity." .
All events are at the historic Capitol
Theater. 206 E Fifth Avenue. or at the Midnight
Sun performance space. 113 N Columbia
Street. both in downtown Olympia. Full
programs are available at the Capitol Theater
and at select locations throughout town.

strengthen the rest ofthe arts community [as

After that , Roots
Manuva came on to
open the show. He was
jo ined by another
emcee and a D.j. They
are from London and
were really good. Most of the crowd had
never heard them before, but they were all
into iI, representing London in full effect.
After that, Herbaliser came on. It was
my lirst time seeing them live and they
definitely impressed me - not too many
recorded groups do live shows well. They
consisted ola keyboardist, a D.)., a full drum
set player, a handset drum player, a trumpet
player, and two saxophone players-one
which also played a flute .
There were no emcees, but they
definitely had the hip-hop flavor in their

music. They started right away and did not
wait to see if the crowd was feeling it , they
automatically got the crowd into their vibe.
Everyhody was dancing and loving it.
It was good to see a show at the Metropolis
that did not· have their usual 16-year-old
booty dancers.
Then . Roots Manuva and his partner
came out and dropped flows over a couple
oltheir songs. It looked like they were done,
but after much applause from the crowd,
they came back out and performed three
more songs.

During all this , they had two
artists from Heavy Weight
Pro due t ion s
come and do a
bigmural, right
on th e dance
floor. I guess at
every show,
these ;Jrtists get
paid to do art.
They had the
club decoraled
with some
of their
prevIous
artwork
from olher
shows.
After
the show I
interviewed
the main emcee with
Roots Manuva, Rundy
is his name, I asked him
about how he 1i ked
louring and Olympia.
He replied that for his
next tour of the U.S. he
is going to fly instead of
drive. Olympia seemed like a chill place, he
said.
But, he did say that he missed London
lots and all of its old architecture. They are
going to continue the tour, stopping in

alk!

Seattle, then going up to Canada and back
to Toronto, where they started.
i also interviewed the D.j.
from Herbaliser and asked
him what was next . He
\imply mentioned that they
were going to continue the ir
tour and quickly get back to
London .
Soon, they are go ing to
come out with an other

"Sideways Soul" is a must for any existing

DANCE

o DANCE!

Body Movement Meets
the Body Politic
by Nick Challad
Are there some dancers in the house? Are
you a groovin' boogie master who's itching for
a chance to perform? Don't boogie? Maybe
your dance style is better described as an
electronic body-wave. Or maybe you're
tackling the difficult task of combining ballet
and head-banging, dressed as a pig. Whatever
your genre of dance, your dreams of stardom
can become reality right here in Olympia.

Every second Friday of each month
(that's tomorrow!) dancers of all ages, styles,
backgrounds, and ability head on down to
TCTV Studio 'A' to bust a move on "Dance 0
Dance," Olympia's only broadcasted dance
party. Each Dance 0 Dance is shown LIVE on
TCTV (channel 29,) and is also replayed every
Wednesday and Friday at 8 p.m., so you can
turn on the tube and see yourself dance.
Dance 0 Dance is much more than one
of those cheesey MTV beach parties. Rather

NAH'S

The Remedie For Masturbation
(self-pollution, Onanism.)

than limit dancers and viewers to Top 40
music and the Gap, the show offers a variety
of prepared and free-style dancing, with
creative costumes highly encouraged.
Everyone and anyone is welcome to strut
their stuff at Dance 0 Dance, since the show
works to challenge dancers and viewers to
experience new conceptions of dance and
dance music. Therefore, you won't only hear
jams from groups like Funkadelic, and you
probably won't hear the Macarena. Come
prepared to dance to anything from Fred
Astaire, Tito Puente, Cajun,
Hip-Hop, Swing, traditional
Butoh dance music, or a
number oflocal performers
such as the Softones,
Miranda July, or Superduo.
Each month highlights a
particular theme, which
gives dancers an option to
put on an extra special outfit
or costume. This month's
theme
will
include
Halloween (free apple
treats!), Columbus Day, and
Election Day.
Columbus Day? Election
Day? How does that mix
with dance, you may ask.
Well, one such example is
the native dub group, The
Fire This Time, which will be
highlighted this month in
order to provide an
alternative view of our
country's so-called "hero,"
Christopher Columbus.
Within one song by The Fire
This Time, a voice asks, how
could Christopher Columbus be the 'founder'
of this land, when people were already here
waiting for him? Also look out for Richard
Nixon masks and East Timor music this
month.
As evident in these themes, Dance 0
Dance has also explored ways in which
informative social and political issues can be

WAR
By Jesse Bossert

One bullet, one bomb, one missile, one purpose ...
Death.
Why kill?
Why not try a little understanding?
Boys shipped off to kill boys,
Men shipped off too.
All to take the lives of each other.
And many do not fully grasp the motives behind their task as deaths messenger. .

Many have their dreams taken by the random selection of a mindless piece of

"Dance can be political too," executive
producerJustin Wright explains. "It doesn't just have
to be a place where you go to get laid. But: as Justin
admitted, "people do."
Informative issues are also featured in Dance

helped
come
up with
the idea
Dance 0 He
Dance
by
producing, dancing, and performing in a number
of projects at Evergreen.
In 1994, when Evergreen had its own "campus
only" cable channel, Justin took part in numerous
media projects in the Evergreen TV studio, including
a live psychic call-in show. He also produced "Circus
Olympus," part of an Evergreen contract in which
he studied the shamanic origins of clowning. In
addition, he found time to study the traditional
Japanese dance, Kagami Butoh, for two years.
Finally. in Ju1y of 1997. Justin set his visionary
eyes toward public acces.~, and instead of creating
some played-out talk show, Dance 0 Dance
emerged.
"I saw too much talking and not enough
movement Ion T(TV]," Justin notes. "The music
was tar too low-tech. not using the high potential of
the studio." There is almost no talking or editing on
I \lIlceO Dancr-justpure.liveexpressionsofdance.
To come join in this Iiw communit}
dance televisioll. show up tomorrow at tire T(TV
Studio 'A.' located at 440 Yauger Way in OIYlllpia.

Dancers should arrive at 7 p. rn, and the show hits
the air at 8 d clock.
If you want to be a highlighted
individual or group performance~ or if you want
to request music to be played, you're probably too
late fur this month's show. Dance 0 Dance needs
at least one week notice for your special requests,
but I bet ifyou're a ballerina headbanger dressed
as a pig, they could squeeze you in.

Treatment.- The habit must be abandoned; unless this be done no treatment will
avail. The moral character must be strengthened. The motives of hope, manhood, virtue,
and religion must be placed before the patient. All things of a harmful character must
be avoided, the company of the good and virtuous cultivated, and the mind kept engaged
in some elevating study or useful employment. Avoid all stimulants- wine, coffee,
liquors, novels, love pictures, balls, and theaters. Use a hard bed, and do not sleep on
the back. Take a bath morning and evening, and exercise until quite fatigued. Avoid all
aromatic articles, fish, eggs, game. salad, mushrooms, cantharides, aloes, and all
stimulants except camphor. Take acidulous drinks, fruits, and a vegetable diet.
