Race: behind the words
by Ashley Shomo
Staff writer
Kellie Richardson recently started work
as an academic advisor at Evergreen.
She is a black woman.
A lot ofconversations about black people
happen at Evergreen.
There's a few ways talk about her race.
Richardson said. One way can be bad and one
can be good .
Several pictures cover the upholstered
dividers surrounding Richardson's desk. She
pointed to an image of a black woman cradling
her pregnant belly. Most people assume this
woman is a single mother, she said. Her finger
moved to a picture of a young black man
wearing a white muscle shirt and a shower cap.
She said he looks just like a lot of her friends
and family, but man y people assume he's a
gang member or drug dea ler.
Beyond reaction s to the se images.
Richardson is concern ed abou t verbal and
written descriptions that fuel race labels. These
labels, she said, perpetuate the stereotypes of
black women and men.
If. for instance , a black man murders
someone. Richardson said we're used to seeing
him described as a "black male perpetrator. "
If the suspect was white. she asks, "would you
feel the need to use a labe l?"
"I feel like that comes more from the need
of main stream cu lture to find a place for us.
It's like a ceaseless reminder of otherness."
On the other hand . Ri chardson does
think labels can help note the importance of
her culture.
"That's such a part of why I think the way
I do -why I mother my daughter the way I do."
She sa id many black people "feel moved
to point out that there is African-American
power behind something." Particularly, she
said, when it's positive.
Attention given to bla ck celebrities.
athletes, writers and other positive
contributors help in counteracting the negative
images surrounding her race. she said.
This idea . in part. led Carter G. Woodson
to push for "Negro History Week" in 1915. His
movement grew to become "Blac k History
Month."
The idea. Richardson said. was to educate
blacks about themselves. Until then, education
concentrated on white history. Once they learn
about themselves, she said. they would be able
to tell the rest of the world who th ey are.
In addition . Richardson sa id once black
fo lk discover their common experiences, their
individual preferences about labels can differ.
Her father doesn't like the label "AfricanAmerican ." she said . The wurds negat e his
experience as a black American during the civil
rights movement. Her father takes pride in his
hard work as an activist in America . The word
African . distracts from that work. she said.
"There's a lot of fine lines out there. "
Some peop le like to be called "African American." Some people like "black." Some
peop le think "person of co lor" me ans
something entirely different.
Richardson says she identifies herself as
black, but when people ask her what she wants
to be called. "I usually just say ·Kellie·...
bringing pride and respect to "res-life"
by Mike Yadrick
Contributing writer
Over 200 Residential Life student leaders
will be at Evergreen this weekend for the 1999
Northwest Re sidential Life Leadership
Conference (NWRLLC).
The Conference. to be held Feb. 26 to 28.
will bring over 150 Resident Assistants and
other residential life people from across the
Northwest. But fear not paranoid residents,
we won't be pulling double duty shifts.
For thos e who do not know what
"residential life" is, it is an integration of
learning in class (academics) and living
experiences in Housing. Residents live and
learn in practically the same place; Housing
fosters the interaction between school and
residential living through a commitment to
civility, diversity and community.
By providing a living/learning
environment that is affordable, accessible, and
promotes safety, Res·life at Evergreen hopes to
enhance individual and community
development, while encouraging pride and
respect in a sense of place.

express similar goals. but we plan to supply the
constituents of our conference wi th a more
Green experience.
Malik Ismail, Resident Director and
Conference Planning Advisor says, "The basis
for the conference is to prepare res-life students
for future leadership positions and set the stage
for the future of student leadership on college
campuses." Educational and res-life themes
have been brought into the conference goals
and theme, "S tudent Leadership: Making
Waves on a Future Ocean."
By tooth and nail. Evergreen won the bid
process last year in Corvallis, and planning has
been going on since early fall quarter. The
conference attendantss will spend the weekend
in workshops and sessions hosted by Evergreen
students and staff and other presenters from
the guest colleges that will share their
knowledge of Residential Life.
Particular presentations made by
Evergreen student-s-taff will address the
activities of the Emergency Respo nse Team,
and the Residential Maintenance program;
other colleges rarely possess these unique
student programs.

Electrical fire in seminar building
by Mat Probasco
Staff writer
At around 6:15 Wednesday morning gray
smoke filled a basement room in the seminar
building.
Next door, Facilities workers were getting
ready for their day when th e lights went out.
At first they thought it was a campus wide
power outage, until they smelled burning
plastic.
With a sma ll red fire ex tinguisher
launching carbon dioxide gas. the crew
stopped th e source of the smoke. a melted
black circuit breaker.
The breaker, according to facilities
worker John Brockmann. didn 't burn out
because of too much power. but because of an
internal malfunction. Malfunctions like this,
said Brockmann, are usually because ofthe age
of the breaker or over-use. In this case,
however, no one knows just why.
Th e heat from the defective breaker
melted wires and blackened surrounding
breakers, although the flame according to
Brockmann was only about three inches high .
To repair th e damage and clean th e
surrounding breakers Facilities will have to
shut off the entire bUilding's power. That
includes Police Services. which will be
connected to an alternate power source.
Facilities worker RichardJohnson was on
the scene after the fire was out. "You couldn 't
have asked for a better situation for it to
happen . " said Johnson. "It was early in the
morning, the crew was right next door. and
they knew what to do."

fun for Greener gals
I
It started a few months ago when two
students were lounging in their dorm flipping
through the classified section of Cosmopolitan
magazine. Their eyes fell upon a toll-free
number that curiously struck them.
The ad described the number as a good
way for guys and gals
to "hook-up" by
allowing women
from all over the
country a place to
leave messages for
men . In turn, men
can call another
number, pay money,
and respond to their
messages.
They
decided to give it a try.
Now, the number ha s become the
premier socia l activity for both students who
are acting as, "two hot college co-eds: Sex
Kitten and Destiny."
"The goal is to make Ihem cum," said
Kitten of the men. "They just want to hear you
talk more."
Anyone leaving messages has the option
of pressing "3" on the phone to establish a live
connection. It's this part , Destiny said, where
they have the most fun.
"There's rWlhing sexual for liS about it,"
she said. "It's just hilarious. They say, 'Well, I've
got a 10 inch cock.' 10 inches is a popular size."
Kitten agrees that it's fun, but said it
so metimes can be sexual for her.
"Women arc sexual people, but they 're
really not allowed to express their fantasies. I
find it empowering that I'ITI OK with il."
Kitten does most of the talking while
hovering over their white speakerphon e on a
bouncy twin bed.
"Hey guys, it's Sex Kitten and Destiny,
and we're looking for someone man enough to
take two hoI, hhhot women on ."
Shortly after leaving their message, the
speaker blurted, "You have a personal message

We ;1 ccq,t most insli ra ncl'
horny what things he's
willing to accept." She
likes to throw in
random ideas about
vegetables, animals,
religious themes, and
homosexuality just to
see how guys react. She
said they usually just
keep breathing hard, if
not harder.
Destiny remembered a time when a man
asked them to "munch" on each other and they
broke into hysterical laughter while singillg,
"munch, munch, munch," to the Batman
theme.
Kitten nodded her head in snickering
approva l.
"I'm pretty confident with the whole sex
thing. I know that other people arrn't - but, it
gets kind of annoying. Women talk a lot about
how they're exploited for the sex industry." She
said they might be critical because they lack
confidence.
"Women exploit themselves all th e time
for men within a relationship. If someone's
perfectly healthy and has a good attitude about
themselves, they're not gon na be as sensitivr
towards the outside world. Ifshe does n't want
10 look at that sluff. that's finl?, but she should
be ch'ar abollt the reason."
Kit ten pointed at three posters of topless
women proudly hung in the living room.
"A couple of years ago, I th ought I was
gOllna hate myselfforever.l've had a lot of body
issues." Now she enjoys looking at sexy women
and knowing she's OK with il.
"I have a lot of ethica l rules for myself~
But hell, iflfelt hot, I'd strip."

Purpose says the group's ambition is not only
show people great movies, but to "address
common atrocities, and human rights issues
from around the world ."
Continuing as a student activity off and
on since 1993, Mindscreen hopes to go before
the S&A Board in the next few weeks to ask for
the funding necessary to show films. Expenses
include paying $60 to $400 per film from
distributors, plus shipping the movies to
campus, and advertising.
.
Kingsburyisquicktopointoutthatuntil
the funding is acquired , all schedules are
tentative at best.
Kingsbury and Givens, with other
students, are in the process of choosing which
films to show. They'd like to start with
"Ceddo," a film by an African filmmaker.

The Student Employment DTF
[Disappearing Task Force] is almost halfway
through its self-prescribed lifespan. The goal
ofthe group is still to make recommendations
concerning student employment issues like the
feasibility of twice-monthly pay and a Student
Employment Office. This latter issue, the SEO,
seems to be the focal point for a number of
other issues surrounding student employment.
At a DTF meeting I attended last
Wednesday, the SEO was the hot topic. How
much would it cost? Would it be efficient?
Would it work for everyone? How could they
best answer these and other questions about
it? Each week, the DTF tackles different
questions in an attempt to ultimately decide

Sanctions on Iraq do real harm
Piper's
Pit
by Saab Lotion
(Cultural and political analysis for Evergreen
students and other Olympia residents, in case
you couldn't tell . . . )
There's been some talk recently about
how Bellevue isn't just some Seattle suburb
anymore. That it's now hip and happening and
on its way to the top-the top of what I
couldn't tell you. But before Bellevue becomes
this great metropoliS, it better do something
about the likes of David Teich.
David Teich is suffering from a bad case
of illogic , and somehow I suspect he ain't the
only one in Bellevue who needs a logic booster
shot. A lett er of Teich's ap peared in the
February 11-17, 1999 issue of Th e Seattle
Weekly in respo nse to Geov Parrish's column
(Impolitics, "The Dead of Iraq," 1/14). See,
Parrish is against the sanctions against Iraq (as
is anyone who can simultaneously keep two
thoughts in their head -that you can be down
with the innoce nt women and children ofiraq
without being a cheerleader for "So Damn
Insane") and Teich ... Well, here's what that
1001 said:
"... Iraq has been allowed to sell limited
amounts of oil for humanitarian reasons .. .
But the money has been used to rebuild
Saddam's ... private wealth, not to help the
Iraqi people. It has been documented how
Saddam rebuilt his palaces, and even built new
ones, rather than rebuild health care and other
infrastructure ... IfTd seen Iraq's government
making real humanitarian use of the money it
gets, I'd agree with Geov."
And the little prick is right. Problem is,
his motivations are suspect. I'm going out on
Student gov't. plans
another forum
Recently, the Committee to Implement
the United Student Government held a forum
in order to receive input and feedback on the
proposed bylaws for a new student
government structure. We will be hosting
another forum on Monday, Mar. 1, at 4 p.m.
in the Library Lobby. This forum will be a final
opportunity for students to give input and
feedback on the proposed bylaws before the
vote for approval ofthe government. The vote
for the approval of the bylaws has been
rescheduled and will now take place on Mar.
B. 9 and 10.
At the last forum on the proposed bylaws
a few conce rn s were raised about the
governance structure. In particular, students
expressed concern at the lack of designated
representatives from diRt-rrnt academic areas.

We do feel that it is important for the
board of the United Student Government to
have a diverse and broad membership that is
capable of representing the dynamic interests
and backgrounds that Evergreen students
have. But if we create a structure that forces this
academic representation by means that are
contradictory to the Evergreen educational
philosophy it will cause more harm than good.
While the committee has chosen not to make
any changes to the board structure, we have
made changes to the mission statement in
order to address the rule of the board as related
to the academic goals of Evergreen. The new
bylaws can be found on the third floor of the
CAB. If you have any comments or concerns
about the proposed student government we

a limb and assuming Teich is a Republican not
because he's !i'om Bellevue, but because of the
tone of the opening line of his letter, "Geov
Parrish makes the same mistake most people
do who blame the US for Iraq's problems-he
ignores reality." Just like black folks blame the
US for their problems, right, bubba? And of
course, since Parrish is a left-winger he must
be ignoring reality as usual, huh?
It would be one thing if Teich was with
Amnesty International and was legitimately
concerned that So Damn Insane is
squandering his national revenue (in much the
same way we do;eask Japan who was the first
to use "weapons of mass destruction"). But he
sounds like the Republicans who have made
the same, exact argument on Capital Hill: That
so long as Iraq doesn't share what wealth it
does have left (after we done bombed them
back to the stone age) its innocent women and
chi ldren deserve nothing.
Once again, two thoughts in the same
head, people. End the sanctions while going
after So Damn and any other dictator (no
matter what they look like). Hell. the military
code of conduct specifically states you are not
to hurt civilians in the course of battle, which
isexactlywhatthe sanctions do. Which means
our policy dishonors every solider proud of
their uniform .
But here's the kicker: Haven't we been
sanctioning Cubans into submission because
they shared their wealth? So the minute So
Damn Insane becomes sane and shares his
wealth we start bombing him all over again
because he became a socialist?! The very folks
telling Iraq to "rebuild health care" (as in free,
universal health care-a concept that's
supposed to be economically blasphemous)
are the same folks who spent a trillion dollars
of our tax money during the Cold War
preventing the rebuilding of health care!
Hypocrisy!
It's either that or illogic (I thought
"idiocy" would be a bit harsh), which brings
me full circle. David Teich "better run a check"
as they say in Hip Hop and really think about
what he's advocating. As for the Republicans,
they are idiots. Ifthey had it in them to realize
the inherent contradiction of sanctioning Iraq
because they don't share their wealth but
sanctioning Cuba because they do, they
wouldn't be Republicans in the first place. And
they wouldn't be so damn insane as to blow
tens of millions of dollars investigating a blow
job while wedon't have any health care either. ..
Petrochemical blues
The image of the freighter "New
Carissa" stranded in the sand off of Coos Bay,
O~egon, brought back a frightening memory.
Do you remember when the "Exxon
Valdez" hit the rocks upon leaving the Alaska
Pipeline terminal at Valdez, Alaska? I
remember the disbelief and the damage, as if
it was yesterday.
I have spent more than 10 years of my
life in the Great Land, and in my mind there
is no place more beautiful or pristine in the
world, that was, before the Exxon Valdez
incident, yet here we are almost 10 years later
doing the same old shit.
The "New Carissa" was a freighter, not
a tanker. but it still held over 400,000 gallons
of fuel. This worlds seas, oceans and
waterways are in perilous danger from fuel
spills.
The bottom line is we cannot continue
to transport petro-chemicals on our high
seas, and the saddest fact is thatwe have other
resources for producing purer, less toxic
forms of oil right here in the good old U.S.A.
So why our dependence on foreign oil? Can
you say hard, cold cash?
There have been previous articles in the
c.P.}. about bio-fuels-or fuels made from
vegetable or natural matter. There are many
plant sources for this product, but hemp is
really one of the most productive varieties,
and our government is still taking a stance of
non-acceptance of this viable and non-toxic
plant.
(fwe letthe power of the mind take new ideas
to hand, we could halt our dependence on
foreign oil, improve our environment, and
american farmers and farmland could florish
ollce again.
( encourage all students to write their
legislators, and ask the question? What about
bio-fuels? What about hemp?
whether or not Evergreen should have a
Student Employment Office. The DTF should
make this recommendation by the end of its
last scheduled meeting, the Wednesday of
week seven during spring quarter. A number
of student workers, including myself. are
anxiously awaiting this deadline.
If you care about student employmernt
at Evergreen and want to have an impact on
'the DTF's recommendations, or for more info ,

Food pantry needs
help
,

The Community Free Food Pantry
needs your helpl
Things are going well. Every week
for the last three weeks Vangie Rand and. I
have been giving out free bread in the CAB.
This has worked exceedingly well creating
dialogue with the students, and reducing
food waste, at least from one grocery store
in Olympi~. Catherine Anvil has been very
dedicated in picking up the bread every
weekend. At The same time we have received
assorted food items from Cost Plus imports
in Bellevue, WA. A friend of mine, Dianna
Angelon, decided to ask her boss, and they
have conSistently donated every weekend for
the 'Iast four weeks all sorts of neat things:
The Student Arts Council collected an entire
garbage can of canned goods, which I used
to restock the food shelve in the Health
Center. KAOS has agreed to help us clear out
the storage room of CAB 014 for usage of the
Food Pantry, and we have a workday
scheduled for Wednesday the 10th of
March,12 p.m. to whenever. We have two
refrigerators, one small one that works, and
one big one that doesn't work. So I am trying
to solicit repairs from anyone I can fmd with
the skills. The Lab II has graciously allowed
us to use their truck for pick-ups.
Our main problem is volunteers. We just
aren't bringing in enough people to really get
things done. We need folks from to do a little
bit of help, from their places of work, to just
bringing in one or two canned food
donations. Some really nice young people
from a local junior high, even volunteered
to help with the work. The second problem
is food. Right now it seems like we have a
lot, but I get the feeling that their are more
hungry people waiting in the wings, than we
expected come spring. The only way we can
handle this is to get our budget, and start
paying the fee for canned goods in 100
pound increments from the Seattle main
food pantry. This means we need people to
politely solicit every business in Thurston
County for donations, and ftll in the gaps
that Thurston County Food Pantry, and
other local organizations don't.
With the upcoming dorm visitation, and
the workday I hope we can bring in more
volunteers to help with this effort. I am
currently in the process of planning next
year's budget, getting petition signatures,
soliciting letters of support on campus, and
obtaining a spring and summer budget
through the Special Initiatives funds. This
at least will allow the food bank to purchase
needed equipment, including repairs, and
obtain food from Seattle in the bulk amounts
we need.
Meetings are Mondays at 4 in Cab 320
(the table area). We are seeking letters of
support, and come sign our petition at the
free bread table.

Over the last few months the idea of
twice-a-month paychecks has sparked a huge
debate over what is really important for
student employees. Although students have
the right to be paid in a timely fashion, this
seems to be too narrow a focus. A student
employment office (SEO), could solve a whole
host of ralated issues. All too often I hear the
debate framed as if an SEO were only capable
of printing two checks per month! This office
.could help students fInd jobs that match their
interests. address grievances, and consolidate
the time it takes to till out paperwork.
The DTF [Disappearin g Ta sk Force 1
formed a list of questions and problems with
current student employmen t, and is finding
many of them can be addressed by an SEO.

I learned last night of the passing on of
Thomas Banyacya and this afternoOlI of Dan
Evehema. It touches my heart with sorrow for
the earth is loosing forever a quality of people
that we will be mach poorer without. I had the
honor of being present on Marcil IB , 1997
when a group of traditional Hopi Elders came
to the place ofDineh Elder and Resister, Sarah
Begay, to express their solidarity with Dineh
refusing to sign the Accommoda tion
Agreement. I was sitting outside the male
hogan where both Dineh and Hopi Elders were
gathered inside. Thomas' voice carried out
OlltO the gentle late willter breeze with these
powerful words, "No courts, no lawyers, no
white man's law. We obey the law of the
Creator. This is our land, this is your land."
Later, i was able to speak briefly with Fermina,
Thomas' wife The reinlorced what Thomas had
said. The clarity and courage of these
traditional people truly inspires my soul. It is
crucial that all of us so affected by encounters
with these precious, magical and endangered
people act upon the knowledge quickly.
Presently, the remaining resisters at Big
Mountain fac e impending livestock

Whitesinger wrote me a letter last week saying
she is dealing with current "notices to vacate"
with Ceremonies and that she has no intention
of leaving. It is a time to call forth conscience
on an unprecedented level. What is there to
lose but any say in the future and the well being
of all life as we know it?

Nuclear meltdowns are highly likely as well as
toxic illnesses from waste dumps. Hospitals
will not be able to function so suffering
humanity will surround us. She says it is
imperative to shut down all nuclear power
plants before then .
The birth of the new millennium is also
the date that Dineh Resisters, who have not
been successfully coerced, will be forcibly
moved to nowhere. I believe that standing by
the most traditional Elders of this Turtle Island
is a duty to our children I am horrified that the
audience people like Thomas, Dan and so
many others now gone have enjoyed, is not also
an activated audience of unprecedented
courage. It is time. We mast be willing to risk
our lives for those of the traditional Dineh. To
not do so is the ultimate irresponsibility of
whites in America.
Pray. Fast. Call to the guidance of the
Creator. We mast be strong warriors for true
peace that the US government has only
destroyed all over the earth for the sake of
profit. Prepare for the directions from the

To be honest with you son, our
company is very selective in who
we hire. Let's cut to the chase
and review your personality file.
The DTF has continued to look at other schools
in the state to see examples of SEOs. Also .
the DTF found out TESC is buying software
that may facilitate data sharing among Payroll,
Financial Aid, and an SEO. This could greatly
increase efficiency. As an alternate on the
DTF, I've been pleased with the progress being
made on these issues. Hopefully, the DTF will
soon hold a forum, where students can ask
questions and raise concerns they have on
these issues .
Of course the SEO will never completely
solve all the probl ems. It still behooves
students to organ ize on their on accord ill

Hey Mr. Levinson , good idea! Why don't
us students living in hOUSing take care of crime!
We could get together in a posse every time a
crime is committed and then take justice into
our own hands_ What a perfect world we'd live
in. Why didn't anyone think of this before?
What a brilliant plan! You're thinking along the
same lines as those brilliant lynch mobs in the
south. We could model. our whole justice
system after lynch mobs.
You're right, jordan, old boy. Who cares
about the time last year when a student in
housing was robbed at gunpoint? Screw him!
He shou ldn 't have been carry in g around
private property. He wa s just as king for a
mugging. It was pretty absurd of him to think
there might be someone to protect his private
property besides a gang of Evergreen students!
It's my sincere dream that soml'day, I too will
be held at gunpoint and there won't be any
armed person on my side. I've got a body that
reacts to bullets in a positive way. It"s all due to
positive thinking.
And that jerk that got stabbed twice in
the back, nearl y avoiding para ly,is? Forget it!
Who needs him anyway? If he didn't want to
gl'l stabhed, he shouldn't have gone to live on
a campus full of pacilists. It was too bad that
;
those damn police had to come and
inconvenience other students about the affairs.
How obnoxious to have to answer questions
that might lead to prevention of further
stabbings and armed muggings. Who needs to
prevent it, when we can just form a lynch mob
afterwards and perform beautiful vigilante
justice! Hooray for jordan 'The Einstein'
Levinson.
In fact,l want to make a step towards this
genius utopian vision. I nominate Jordo as
Primary Non-leader Action Facilitator for the
Evergreen Lynch Posse! He can organize
investigations into criml'. I'm sure he'll find a
way to apprehend criminals based not on
stupid questions like, "What does the person
look lik e", but rather more intelligent
qUl'stions such as, "How does the suspect feel
about North American ideologies towards
marshland basket-weaving?"
It 'll all be perfect, as long as no one Wl"ars
any of those imposing badges. Those things are
just so opprl'ssive. The other day, I was walking
to the Community Center when a badge flew
off a nearby policeman's uniform and gave me
a smarting slap ill thl' fa ce. The nerve, I say!

destination, the beach. The tide was in, which
made for moving along the beach rather fun.
It started to get cloudy and I decided to head
back. Walking back I had a discussion with
friend I bumped into. How many friends bump
into you while you are driving? I know that I
do so a lot while taking the bus.
The discussion that we had regarded was
the width of the trail and how much erosion
there was, especially in the muddy areas. I
thought if more trails wtlfe easier to walk along,
t here would not be as much traffic on the main
trail. Yet if they become easier to walk on, more
people will abuse them, causing the same
problems afflicting the main trail. With more
trattlc, the trail gets wider. With more cars, the
February 25, 1999
parking lots get bigger. A big parking lot with
a vw Jetta pulling in ended my journey.
I was somewhat disenchanted with the
end, but there was a sign of hope. There was
more than one person in the car. What if more
people shared a car? What if more people took
the bus?
How do I convince more to do so? Any
suggestions? Come to the Evergreen
Alternative Transportation meetings,
Mondays @ 11:30 a.m. & 5:30 p.m. in CAB

Evergreen could become a Wonderful World.

Evergreen's recent home games have
become a forum of sorts, a forum in which
the players can bare some of that emotional
turmoil and upheaval. A little indirect
venting, if you wilL Saturday's season finale was every bit an indication of this
team's travails, a living nutshell embodiment of the season, fleshed out before a
thousand sets of tantalized eyes. As this
season draws out to a dramatic end filled
with sidebars and vignettes, it is only fitting that the games draw out the same way.
Saturday'S game with Seattle University marked the return of Tuggie Spencer
to Evergreen's lineup. The all-America candidate sat out the team's two previous
games while serving a suspension for violating team rules. To some degree, and by
no fault of his own, his return overshadowed Senior Night's festivities, in honor of
Evergreen's graduating players, Adam
Normoyle, Chip Griffith, and Danny NeaL
The table was thusly set for Evergreen's 6665 victory, a victory which clinched the
program's first winning season in just its

The Evergreen Hellcatz started the season off with a 42-20
blowout over the Whitman Motherruckers. With sixteen strong and
a little help from some a former teammates, Evergreen started the
year with both an impressive offense and defense.
The scoring started early with wingjamie Dillemuth , who sped
past the Whitman defense for the first try. The second try came
quickly, when after a penalty was awarded to Evergreen , and scrum
half Andrea Taubman merely tapped it off her foot and over the try
line.
The Whitman girls caught Evergreen sleeping with a kick over
the players' heads into the try zone, where hooker Rebecca Wines
touched it down for a try. Evergreen came roaring back quickly when
flanker Sarah Speed used raw power to push her way into the try zone.
The half ended with a brilliant Evergreen defense holding the
Whitman players from scoring within ten meters of the try zone.

unsettled measures of the Kaiser plants. The
first collaborative action was on Dec. 9, 1998
at the Port of Tacoma, involving a boat

Sleater-Kinney releases new record with live energy
Photo by lilly West
Sleater-Kinney introduced their new album on
Sunday, as well as their new music video, shown
before their performance.
by Meagan O'Connor
Contri buti ng writer
Oh, great, I thought as I approached the door to Club
Liquid Sunday night, I'll never get in. The line to see SleaterKinney, Oly's own all female pop- punk trio, stretched almost
around the corner. Fortunately, I saw a friend standing in line
who let me cut in , and I only had to freeze my butt off for a few
minutes before I was inside.
It w~s Sleater-Kinney's record release party for their fourth
album, 'which was put out this week. I was pumped, as this was
my first time seeing the band. Three bands played before them,
the first being Popular Music. They were decent, playing exactly
what they were called, and it was nothing to get excited about.
Next was Sarah Dougher, who was a vast improvement from
the previous act. She plays in a band called Cadalaca with one
of the guitarists from Sleater-Kinney, but her performance was
solo that night, with a basist and drummer backing her up. Her
songs were simple, well written, and fairly quiet, which I
appreciated since I was still suffering from a major hangover.
By the time Unwound went on, the place was so packed I
couldn't have moved from my spot if I'd wanted to. I was quite
impressed by this band, though the general consensus was that
they have played much better in past concerts. They could have
played less , or better. instrumentals, but besides that I had no
complaints.
Finally, after a showing ofSleat er-Kinney's new video, the
ladi es stepped onto the stage. They looked and sounded
fabulous. We got to hear songs from their new album, which
was exciting, as well as old ones. They were tight, with the
exception of a couple of timing mistakes (easily forgiven), and
Evergreen student Jessica Easton agreed with me that they
sounded even better live than they do on their albums.
I spotted at least twenty other Greeners there , too,
including Matt Johnson who said that the show couldn't have
been better. Corin's voice sounded great- a lot more melodic
than usual. They were so hili of energy, with Carrie bouncing
all over the stage getting into her guitar playing, and Janet
drumming with much intensity (and rocking out in high heels,
no less).
It was an experience not to miss. If you did miss it, though,
I believe they're playing this Friday in Seattle with ICU. I think
Jessica summed it lip pretty well when she said, "Sleater-Kinney
rorked my world in a way that it hadn't been rocked in a long
. time." Jess, I agree with you wholeheartedly.

Native American activist brings poetry,

l'wenty years ago, John Truddel burned an American
flag on the steps of the F.B.I headquarters to protest
injustices committed against his Native American
community. At the same time, a burst of angry flames from
an unexplained fire destroyed his home in Nevada killing
his mother-in-law, his kids, and his wife, Tina.
Truddel's pain led him to a self-induced isolation where
he found compassion in written words and unintentionally
worked his way back to the public stage with poetry, politics,
and performance.
On Wednesday, March 3, Trudell and The Bad Dog
Band will be at Evergreen's Longhouse to feature his fourth
release, "Blue Indians" - a spoken outcry against racism set
to the driving rhythm of rock-n-roll .
'The writing, the poetry came as a surprise to me," said
Truddel in a press release . "I had done political writing, in
the form of speeches, but not anything that I thought of as
poetry.
"But about six months or so after the fire, when I was
really down, the lines came. The lines were my bombs, my
explosions, my tears, they were my everything. Gradually I
started trying them out at my speeches, asking myself 'Is
this my own private madness or is this something the people
can understand?'''

Friday, Feb. 23, four bands played at the
Arrowspace, a sma ll bedroom-sized non-profit
performance space located above Dumpster
Values. Port Radium opened, followed by the
poppy-new wave sounds of Radio Berlin from
Vancouver. After half th e audience left and was
replaced, Milemarker, on tour from Chapel Hill
South Carolina, impressed upon me and a few
other dancers their exper im ental hardcore
sounds. For me, this was definitely the musical
highlight. Besides being great performers
jumping around kicking and screaming with
their guitars and basses, the effect was
heightened by a band member that merely did

brightness and darkness gave forth a very
eerie and scary effect. Before and after the
show, while they so ld merchandise, th ey

Slowly the crowd surged to 40+ and
Music, MacDawgs band, started to jam out

grabbing the microphone and rapping lyrics
into it. MacDawg, lead vocals and lead

jumping back over, falling and toppling

the Procession is the "Art Studio", which
is a workshop open and free to everyone
for about two continuous months prior to
the event. The Art Studio creates a fun,
creative, and community atmosphere for
anyone interested. The Procession is
currently searching for a 4-5000 square
foot space for this year's Studio.
Over the past few years the

Portland, Oregon has initiated a group
that will organize it's own Procession of

office has been giving Portland assistance
in helping create their event.
The Procession of Species is
supported by The City of Olympia, the
Arts Commission, and South Puget Sound
businesses, however there is never enough
support for the growing needs of this
event. Therefore, a benefit concert ("The
String Cheese Incident") will be held at 7

Capitol Theater. Tickets can be purchased
for $12 in advance at Rainy Day Records,

Cecilia Rodriguez spoke this
past Tuesday, Feb. 23 in the library
lobby. A large crowd of onlookers
listened attentively as .she spoke of
the Zapatista National Liberation
Army, and the struggles in Mexico.
Rodriguez is the US representative for
the Zapatistas, as appointed by
Subcommandante Marcos, a group
made up of prim"iuily Native
American's from southern Mexico
specifically in Chiapas, and named
after Emiliano Zapata, a Mexican
revolutionary leader. She is also the
director of the National Commission
for Democracy in Mexico (NCDM).
The Zapatista rebellion began on Jan
1, 1994, the same day that Mexico
formally joined the North American
Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). This
agreement is widely criticized in
Mexico and throughout the states
because many feel that the negative
repercussions directly affect the poor.
NAFTA, which is a trade pact between
Canada, Mexico, and the United States,
will eliminate tariffs among the three
nations . Many fear that the
agreement will eliminate US jobs, and
allow the United States to move
factories to Mexico to utilize cheaper
wages and less stringent laws on
environmental and labor violations.
Rodriguez also requested the help of
those in attendance to participate in
the organizing of the Consulta, the
popular vote for Mexicans and people
of Mexican descent on March 21 to
obtain more rights for the indigenous
people of Mexico. Rodriguez talked of
how we all may come together and
overcome these issues, one step at a
time.

On Friday. Feb. 26, Michael Parenti
will speak at two separate events in
Olympia. Michael Parenti is considered
one of the nation's leading progressive
spea kers and is known for his dynamic,
enlightening and exuberant talks on the
problems of American democracy, U.S .
Imperi alism, economic power, and the
inventive reality of the news and
entertainment industry. He lectures
widely on college , ca,mpuses and before
religious, labor, community and public
interest groups. He has appeared on
radio and television to discuss current
iss ues and ideas from his published
works.
Parenti is the author of eleven books
including: .. Democracy for the Few,"
"Against Empire," "Dir ty Truths."' "MakeBelieve Media," "America Besieged , and
"Inventing Reality: The Politics of News
Media."
Parenti has been described in a
number of ways. The Los Angeles Times
Book Review says Parenti is "Radical in
the truest sense of the word , Parenti digs
at the roots which ... sustain our public
consciousness." The Progressive says
Parenti
provides
"A
slashing
criticism ... essential to a fuller
understanding of what we read and see
daily." Michael is described by KPFA
Radio as, "This tough, hilarious , right-on
llliix
, of scholar and street.·'

to listen and communicate effectively in seminar. I work closely with my professors
and find that I am learning at an incredible rate as a result of my work in collaborative
projects.
B. I have access to tools and equipment that will further my efforts to take over the
world. I am learning how to manipulate genetic material so that I can help create
transgenic crops which I wll then patent and sell to farmers who will have to pay me
every year for seeds. My crops will vastly out-compete yields of traditional species,
and when, after years of widespread use, the world's soils are totally depleted, I will

B. Provide an arena for the safe use of drugs and sex as distraction from the highest
purposes of life and sharpen an appetite for blase crass materialism.
C. Keep young and intelligent people so completely occupied in activities that are
only tangentially relilted to the real world that the most potentially productive years
of their lives are spent exclusively in learning the rules of the system in which they
operate rather than seeking redress for systemic injustice and iniquity. This conditions
them to act within the boundaries of these painstakintly learned rules even when
seeking their revision. This greatly reduces the systemic threat that radical and
systemic approaches pose. Furthermore, college shackles students with enormous
and fictitious debt; this, and through appreciationot how hard the disenfranchised
world is, means that most will simply seek to payoff their debt and seek a separate
peace rather than oppose th~:~ to which they are exposed.

D. I love nothing. I am a political science major and I would only point out that
"love" is almost essentially another product that is developed, advertised, distributed ,
and sold entirely within the capitalist socio-economic structure. If you can't buy
love, you can still lease it, timeshare , sublet it , or trade stock in the company. For
example, take Valentine's Day. You can have it.
