Deli Cashier by Eva Carlk 99
Playing the keys on the cash register
Like a sad displaced musician
My fingers barely touch plastic
There was a grand prince of Moscow
Who thought of the mongols as dog chow.
Being small delicate things of skin and bone
He shunned all their taxes
Dollar bills pass between my fingers
Then killed them with axes
like old restling leaves
And became Czar, that grand prince from Moscow.
Clumping together in stacks
In the black plastic drawer
His name was Ivan the Third
so quick to leap out at my chest
With him, the Orthodoxy concurred.
Because he liked Greece
With an electronic ring
He married the niece
As I stand at my station
Of

emperor deferred.
Fingers racing through a line of
Faces handing me pieces of paper
Ivan the Fifth was the next Czar
My words become automated responses
He seized the land of each Boyar,
As I place little slips of dirty white and green
Then set up the OprichnikiAnd chunks of metal into hands
A secret constabularity
And cunningly ruled as Czar.
cups of flesh and bone
Reaching, grasping, again and again
Michael began the next dynasty:
Like a sad displaced musician
The boyar were replaced by dvorianie.
My ears become hardened to the electronic humming
The peasants turned their backs
My voice freezes around cold sounds
And formed into Cossacks
While abhorring this new Romanov dynasty.
Numbers rushing from my lips

like old rustling leaves
Peter 1 was the next Czar
And I am there hour after hour .

Peter 1 a k a Peter the Great
Was known to be rather irate .
He was a thaumaturg
When he built S1. Petersburg
With more than the funds he could allocate
After Peter came Catherine 2;
poor peasant conditions did ensue
She liked all things French
And enjoyed reconnaissance
While from plebeians she tried to eschew.
When Alexander was ruler of the day
Russia gained prestige through fray.
Although he was weak
Still Napoleon he beat
And peasants still weren't given their say.
Alexander 2 tried to make peace with the nativesreforms were at once instigated.
Alex became distraught
When his efforts won naught
For his plans were far too belated.
The next Czar was Alexander the Third
Who thought reforms were absurd .
He was found to be cruel
For harsh was the rule
Of Czar Alexander the Third.
Then it was Nicholas's tum to reign
Discontent plagued him again and again
Folks were cross as two sticks
And sanctioned Bolsheviks
When they brought down both Nick and his reign.

In a crowd of people yelling at each other, an Evergreen student was stabbed twice.
The student was fighting with two teenagers over stolen money.
Wednesday, Jan. 27 at 9:30 p.m. in front of 15 witnesses, the student received two
wounds. One stab going into his right shoulder near the joint from the back, cutting two
tendons, the other stab into middle of his back just missing his spine.
Three teenagers from the crowd are wanted for assault, as this case is labeled by the
Police Services. The teenagers are vaguely described by Police Services in a bulletin
posted around campus as "a Hispanic male teenager wearing baggy clothes and a knit hat
pulled low to the eyebrows, a light complected African American male teenager with a
shaved head also wearing baggy clothes and a knit hat low to the eyebrows, and an African
American female teenager wearing baggy clothes. They are not T.E.S.c. students."
Huntsberry believes two of the suspects are related and live in Coopers Glen.
"Previously we had contact with two members of the group. We have not been able to pin
,',,},,";V"" I anything on them" Huntsberry said.
The suspects are also wanted by police in Mason County regarding a burglary, where
a nine-millimeter was stolen, Huntsberry said.
Wednesday night around 9:30 p.m. a friend came into the student's room and asked
him to come downstairs. As they came out of the building, a group was gathering around '
the motorcycle pit. The friends stopped by to check it out. A few words were exchanged
and then a fight broke out. "Somebody said fuck you, hit, hit, people were getting hit and
then the fight broke up," the student said. "The Hispanic kid hit me and then the black guy
up. We wrapped up then he got me in the back, that's when he stabbed me."

by Darren Shaffer
EAT member

As vice president of student affairs, Art
stantino is in charge of Evergr een
Jartments ranging from the Child Care
lter to Police Services. Until no earlier than
rch or April, he will be filling the role of vice
~ sident of college advancement and
cutive director of the college foundation.
In fall of 1998, executive director of
lege relations and the Evergreen Foundation
Idy McKenzie quit for a job at Arizona State
iversity. Not long after McKenzie left, Mike

Wark, then director of college relations
accepted a job in Tacoma for the University of
Washington .
Evergreen's search for replacements has
been slow. After few people applied during a
search in October, the college extended the
search and hopes to condu ct interviews in
March .
UntilJan. 21, when college president Jane
Jervis announced Costantino would fill both
positions, Jervis herself had been the acting
vice president. She explained in a campus wide
memo that she no longer had time to be acting
vice president.

Evergreen's reservation based programs
have awarded nearly 70 bachelor's degrees in
nine years and offers upper-division course
work to approximately 60 students on five
reservations.

!

We are the number one users oflntercity
Transit. Since the experimental instution of
this year's temporary bus pass program,
Evergreen's ridership has been up 300 riders
per day from last year. That is 300 fewer trips
that were taken in a car, 300 parking spaces
that were not needed, 300 people who just
relaxed while taking the bus.
The Bus Pass program is an experimental
program aimed at increasing the use of bus
service. So far the experiment is going well.
Due to the increased ridership double buses are
used at peak times. This increase in service has
been in response to our success. If we continue
our success we could, in the future , see the
expansion of bus and other alternative
transportation services.
Promoting alternative transportation
falls into the hands of Evergreen Alternative
Transportation (EAT). EAT is a student group
that formed this year as a part of the bus pass
program. Initially, it was formed to keep tabs
on the success of the program. Now EAT is
exploring ideas on how to continue the bus
pass program and talking to Intercity Transit

Some of the ideas that have been brought
up are:
• More frequent buses
• Buses that run later
• A route more specific to Evergreen's
needs
• An express bus from Capital Mall for
the morning commute
In order to gain these benefits Evergreen
needs to show that we want them. We can do
so by riding the bus. When IT starts to see
numbers increase, they are much more apt to
increase service. This is how we got double

Rape is one of the most terrible crimes

That it exists at all is one of humanity's

First, don't laugh at divisive humor.
People. often the last people you'd think
of as patriarchs, will come at you out of
nowhere with "jokes" whose entire humor
depends on sexism. Sexism breeds
division, hostility, and. in its most
extreme expression, rape. Zero tolerance
is the only thing for it. Don't just give a
courtesy laugh and change the subject.
Speak up.
The same goes for song lyrics,
movies, and any other pockets of sexism
and division Give sexism an inch and it
spreads like ivy. Let it be known that it's
unacceptable to at least one person.
Second, approach everyone you
meet as an individual, not a category. We
didn't come off"man" and "woman"
assembly lines. Sticking labels on people
makes it easier to overlook their humanity
even while looking them in the eye. (Nazi
Germany is just one example.) Rape
happens when men don't view women as
individual people, but as a category.
Avoid that trap in your own life. And if
others don't, call them on it.
In a lot of ways, our culture is
unhealthy. Things like rape drive the
point home; what is rape but an extreme
version ofthe demeaning attitudes we see

Maybe it's a natural human inclination
to hope others will be able to fix things, even
when all we can do is clench our fists in rage .
I wonder what Sarah expected. What were
the males in question going to do, beat the
guy up? If the problem is that we live in a
macho, violent culture, how is beating
someone up going to solve anything?
I wish with all my being that I knew
how to "do something" about humanity's
inhumanity. I apologize to the world for not
being able to do more than decry such acts.
But I like to think that in my daily life, I
can-and do--act in ways which at least
prevent me from adding to the problem.
We live in a macho, patriarchal culture
in which, from a very young age, aggressive,
dominant and egotistical behaviors are not
only overlooked in boys, but encouraged.
Then we wonder why some commit literal
rape, some commit the brand of figurative
rape typical of modern corporations, and
still others, in desperation, march into
classrooms with shotguns to exact
unspeakable revenge on the classroom
bullies society refuses to punish.
I'm only a human being, and I don 't
know how to save the world. But rather than
just accept the unacceptable, here's what I
think people can do to keep it from growing:

This article will focus on what it was like to be at this swim

from Evergreen were honored. They were Sarah Goark, Ann
Alquist and Howard Gearns.

I have always been aware that
theater is going on at Evergreen, I just
did not know where it is. Maybe on the
fifth level of the library building or in

been made aware of. Wrong! On Friday
night, I found it easily accessible to
everyone in the lobby of the library
building.
Kyle Waterman (who goes by the
stage name Penn Warner) chosr an
obscure play written by a monk in the
14th century, and then decided to write
in his own character, that of Vice. The
play, at least in my interpretation, is
abo ut a journey of Everyman, the main
character, or of every man, all of us.
Everyman is presented with the character
Death, then goes on a journey to
reconcile his life , or more correctly, deal

with hi s lack ofliving .
This journey took place on the
main floor of the Library building,
then dashes up the stairs, performs on
the third level, and continually
vacillates between the two, even using
the stairs as a performance space.
This was a performance that strove to
include the audience, rather than give
them a chance to yawn, read the
program again, or think about what
tlH'y were planning on doing after the
play. And include us, it did. I had to be
very selective about where I stood to
photograph the scenes, for fear of being
mauled by a cast member. Everyone of
the nine-member cast was always on
stage. In my view, this was quite
impressive and spoke to the talent and
awareness of all of the actors and
actresses. Every player had to stay in full
character throughout the duration of the

This Saturday at 8:00 p.m., a Bob
Marley International Music Festival will
be occurring at the 4th Ave. Tav. 21 and
over. Tickets $10, available at Rainy Day
Records and at the door (ifit isn't sold out
by then). It is a benefit for th e Welfare
Rights Orginizing Coa lition , and is
sponsored by I\;\OS, Sound Wave and
Rainy Day.
Some tastes of musical styles from
aro und the world may be demonstrated
in these shows. The players come from
places such as Gu inea . Sierra Leone. and
Kenya, as well as from around the US.
The three groups sc heduled to play are
Baflng (fea turing Alpha Yaya Dial/a),
Manna (Brian, their guitarist! singer, is
an Evergreen alumnus and the bassist
Chris Parkins is a cur~ent Greener), and
One World. The main styles played will
probably be Afropop, Reggae, and Jazz
with World Beat, respectively. There are
at least several Evergreen alumni
involved In the organizing and
performances.
The festival might be somewhat rare
for the Olympia area. The organizer of
the show, an Evergreen alumnus (and OJ
at KAOS on and off for the last 20 years)
named Amy, seems to think so, "There is
a lack of people of color playing [shows]
here in the Olympia area. A lot of them
just pass us by when they're on tour."
While there may be diversity added to
the community from the music being
played at the show, there is at least one
way that it is painfully conformist - no
one under 21 years of age is allowed. "It
is really important to offer diverse mu sic
to all ages," Amy says. When asked what
we could do as students here at
Evergreen to cause more music to be
offered to audiences of all ages, Amy
suggests forming student groups here to
do just thaI. I've also found that there are
already resources on campus that
students could use to promote Evergreen
music groups for all-ages performances,
for example. the Student Arts Council.
One of the issues surrounding the
performances is solidarity. The show is
a benefit for the Welfare Rights
Organizing Coalition, which has goals of
challenging welfare reform laws that they
see as idiotic or unfair. The goals that
they strive to achieve could perhaps be
mor e efficiently and effect ively achieved
if there were solidarity between them"
and other partially-aligned groups. So it
may also be with promoting music in the
greater Seatt le area, and in general. Did
anyone notice that o ne night there were
flyers across campus promoting the
Olympia show: the next ni ght there were
flyers up promoting a .s imilar but
different production in Sea ttle minus the
flyers for the Olympia show. and then the
next night there were almost no flyer s up
for either of the shows?
If21-overs are interested in hearing
this music, or are ab le to realize a maybe
desired solidarity by participating in this
event, then show up!

commitee seeks funding and student approval

by Mat Probasco
Editor
Evergreen could vote its first student government board
into office spring quarter.
Since week three, David Taylor, Ken Radin,
Courtney Aiken, Robin Lea, and Kevin Moore have been
meeting Mondays for at least an hour, often four. Their goal
is to prepare a structure for student government.
The structure has taken the form of bylaws, which will
act as an out line for future governments.
OnJan. 25 the group, calling themselves The Committee
to Implement the United Student Government, presented the
bylaws before the S&A Board along with a $3 ,500 budget
proposal. Th e mon ey wo uld be used to advertise, hold

"They we rr highl y inte rested, " sa id Robi n, looking

"I think th ey were highly skeptical, " Ken replied in
monotone.
The group has developed an interesting dynamic. After
month s of arguing, the three juniors and two freshman know
each others biases and interests. ··Wr are a diverse group,
about what we think student government is," David said.
They explained that if there is no organized voice for students
to express opinions about issues, they wind up having to
complain after the fact. Courtney hopes to stop the almost
bratty image of Evergreen students. "We can't afford not to
have this," she said. The idea being that it is more powerful
for students to have an official position rather than random
grumbling and protests.
The popularly expressed Evergreen ethos,like it or not,

is to mistrust authority. "The reason I got involved in student

partial funding so students could vote on the

Forum offers students a place for
Student Government Forum
by Nick Challed
On Wednesday, The Committee to Implement the
United Student Government presented a forum in order to
explain the student government bylaws and receive student's
opinions and concerns. Although there were only three
students present who were not on the committee, the forum
was successful, as there was genuine dialogue, feedback, and
solutions that were explored by everyone.
The forum was facilitated by David Taylor, a member
of the committee. David began by explaining how student
government has been implemented so far. During the spring
of 1997, students voted on the future of student governance.
Students were given the option of three models: a forum
model, an e-mail based model, or no student governance
whatsoever. The forum model received the greatest number
of votes. In the fall of 1998, The Committee to Implement
the United Student Government was formed in order to write
the by-laws and implement the forum model. David shared
the challenge of writing the bylaws with such a diversity of
opinion surrounding the Committee members.
Various committee members shared their opinions of
wh y a stud ent government is needed. The main point
expressed was the need to create a collective student voice.
Courtney Aiken explained that this would allow students to
be "proactive rather than reactive" when discussing student
concerns with the administration. Courtney used the example
of the recent issue of guns being carried by campus police.
By the time students were collectively concerned with this
issue, it was too late. The committee envisions a student

government allowing students to be involved in decisions
while they are being made, since a collective voice could be
passed on to the administration in a timely manner.
Committee members explained future concerns in which a
collective student voice will be needed. Future issues such as
long term planning, the growth of Evergreen (the
administration is planning to increase student enrollment
by 1000 by the year 2001), and tuition control were discussed
by the committee.
Next, the committee began explaining the bylaws,
which was when non-committee students began expressing
their opinions and concerns. The majority of concerns
involved what type of representation will exist on the United
Student Government Board. As the bylaws explain, the
Board will "serve as the representative body for the
undergraduate students of The Evergreen State College."
Most of the discussions involved searching for an
adequate representation of Board members which could
represent the student body as fully as possible. One student
questioned the need for reserving a Tacoma campus
representative for the Board. He wondered whose interest
this reservation was addressing, and how a Tacoma campus
student's concerns would address the interests of Evergreen
students as a whole.
Later, Seabird Mckeon raised the important point that
there is no discussion of Eve rue en as an academic institution
within the bylaws. Mckeon fJlt a need for various academic
groups to be represented on the Board, since in essence, "that
is what we are - an academic institution." The committee
and other students explored th e possibility that Board

"p"""Io!io" <ould be di,id,d betw,," ,,,d,mi< groop,.O
and each academic group could further represent other
student groups.
David Taylor and other committee members worked
with students to search out possible solutions. David warned
however, that excessive diverging among students on the
board can be dangerous. In past attempts to implement
student government, dividing students too much resulted in
the breakdown of the student government itself. David also
explained the extreme difficulty that exists in order to
organize an electoral basis,
But how will students know that they will be represented
within the proposed model? Some students at the forum
explained that without an apparent representation, student
apathy will overrun the attempt of implementation. Both
committee members and other students admitted that there
is still much discussion needed to cover these issues.
Although many concerns and suggestions were
expressed, there was also much praise given to the committee
for their hard work and dedication thus far. After the forum,
David Taylor discussed his satisfaction with what had just
occurred. "Just knowing that three people read the bylaws
and are interested in student government makes me happy."
There is still obviously much to be done, and many more
opinions are needed from a variety of students (which will be
invited at future forums). However, Wednesday's forum
provided a successful environment for dialogue. Everyone's
ears were open to opinions and feedback, and rather than
finding conflict, students explored common ground and
sought out possible solutions.

Alternative
fuels
Making a diesel
replacement at
home
Are you a diesel car owner? Don't you
just hate the clouds of smelly black soot that
rise from your car every time you start it?
Wouldn't it be great if a replacement came
along that was cleaner, more
environmentally friendly, and even
renewable? Good news ... it's here!
Biodiesel (BD), also know as Methyl
Esters, is an alternative fuel made from 4/5
used vegetable oil and 1/5 methanoL It has
a long list of advantages:
1. BD runs in any conventional,
unmodified diesel engine (you don't have to
do a thing to your car).
2, BD can be mixed in any percentage
with petroleum diesel (PO).
3. BD is more lubricating than PO,
inc'reasing the life of your engine.
4. BD is safe to handle- it is
biodegradable and non-toxic, The National
Biodiesel Board says 100 percent BD is as
biodegradable as sugar and less toxic than
table salt, while The University of Idaho
reports 98 percent biodegradation in 3
weeks.
5. BD has a higherflashpoint than PO,
making it less flammable and safer to store,
6, Auto ignition, fuel consumption,
power outage, and engine torque are
relatively unaffected by BD.
7. BD has lower overall air emissions
than po:
-no sulfur, lead or halogens (sulfur
causes acid rain)
-carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons
are lowered by between 20-60 percent (more
complete fuel burning)
-particulate' matter decreased by 31
percent (no more noxious black cloud when
you start or accelerate)
8, BD is a renewable fu~l that adds no
more COx into the atmosphere than the
crops growing the oil will consume.
9. 'RD made from used cooking oil
reuses an abundant waste product.
So why should you care about
biodiesel? If you own a diesel car or boat,
then you can make your own fuel in your
backyard for cheaper then what you pay at
the pump! And it's not (;mly cheap, but also
incredibly easy, Don't worry. biodiesel has
been tested and proven over hundreds of
thousands of road miles both here in the US
and abroad.
Are you interested yet? Want to know
more? You're in luck-Th!Jrsday, Feb, 18 at
1:30 p.m. in the CAB and then again at 5:00
p.m. in Lab 2, 2242 (at the weekly SEED
meeting), there will be an interactive slide
show and discussion of biodiesel. Also, on
Wednesday, Feb, 24 at high noon on Red
Square, I will be making a batch and will
have a demonstration car actually burning
the fuel. You can see and smell the difference
this clean-bumingfuel makes. So mark your

for when the whole place was reveling in the

ofthese chromosomally-challenged redneck
types crept up to this adorable little queer
couple and delivered a devastating right hook
to one of the boys' jaws.

Greeners react to guns
Steven Gill asserted in his January 28th
letter to the Cooper Point Journal that "officer
safety" was the "primary" reason behind
arming campus police.
Actually, the arming of police ofilcers
has arguably been less safe to the Evergreen
community than th em being armed .
Already, there have been incidents offirearms
both carelessly used, and used in violation of
campus procedures. One officer has already
resigned as the result of weapons-related
allegations. Additionally, Police Services did
not seek approval to carry weapons with
officer safety as the primary motive. They
claimed that student safety was more at issue.
In my discussions both with Steve
l-Iuntsberry (the TESC police chief) and with
various faculty members prior to my gun
protest last year, the primary reason given for
arming police officers was that an armed
police officer must be present during medical
assists. Previously, when Medic One
responded to an incident involving an injury,
the Thurston County Sheriff's Office
responded with an armed officer. However,
TCSO informed the TESC police that they
could no longer guarantee a prompt response
for medical assists. This opened the door to
the dialogue which eventually led to campus
police arming.
I am not opposed to an officer being
armed in such a situation. It makes sensethe medics don't want to be there if there's a
risk of them being knifed by someone who
also slashed a student, for instance. And an
armed officer would be present anyway-it
just wouldn 't be a TESC cop. In fact, I would
rather that it be a TESC officer there than the
TSCO-TESC cops know our students, they
are used to dealing with them, and they're
known and generally liked on ca mpu s.
Dollars to dougnnuts, a TESC office r ca n

defuse a situation involving on e of our
students more effectively than a Thurston
County deputy.
Nonetheless, in light of th e incidents
involving the misuse of weapons on campus,
I think that it is only fair for the dialogue to
be reopened concerning under which
circumstances campus police may be armed.
According to ChiefHuntsberry, an officer at
Police Services' headquarters can respond to
an inddent anywhere on campus in under
three minutes. It seems to me that it would
be possible to keep a weapon at Police
Services' headquarters-under lock and
key-where it would remain until such time
as it is needed. The medics can't make it to
campus that quickly anyway-and it's my
understanding that there's always an officer
on patrol, and an officer at the station on
backup.
Guns have already caused too much
trouble on campus. If an officer has a gun ,
he or she has the option to use (or misuse)
it-and may be more inclined to solve a
problem qUickly and violently than to engage
in a dialogue and defuse a situation
peacefully. Furthermore, I think that it is
armed ofTicers in bulletproof cars which has
led to the confrontational "state of war" in
America between police and th e citi ze ns
th ey' re supposed to be protecting. Wars
always escalate-what next, bazookas and
tanks? Such a scenar io may not be far offin
Los Angeles, but this is a peaceful co ll ege
ca mpu s. Why shou ld we start down that
road, and make the same mistakes?
Let's stop this madness before someone
is killed or badly injured.
Evergreen is no place for gun s_

What world does letterist Steven j. Gill
(L&O 1-28-99) live in? He said "once again,
Greeners are imagining themselves in their
own world ." Of course they are, and so they
should. Isn't that what we are here for: to
educate ourselves , get some sort of
understanding of the past, realize what's
happening now and hopefully look forward
to a future beyond the present paradigm?
Officer safety? Get a grip, Steve, the
police are on campus for only two reasons.
The first is to protect state property and the
second is to protect the administration. Now
if you look at the stats for the short period
that campus cops have been carrying their
hog-legs, or if you could wind it out for the
last 20 years, you could see that the only times
that they have drawn their weapons have been
to point thenm at folks who weren't doing
anything wrong. Where in Evergreen's history
have the police needed to be armed?
Nowhere! You're telling me that they should
have firearms just in case and I say you've got
your head firmly lodged up your rectum . The
only possibility of danger at Evergreen is the
occasional student or faculty member having
an original idea , and so far that hasn't
happened, and even if they did they're not the
types to hole up in the clocktower with an AK47. If we were to extrapolate your argument.
Stevo old boy, I might suggest you join the
NRA, the GOP, the Christian Coalitiun or the
KKK, all wonderful organizations where likeminded souls such as yourself ca n hang out
and plan a better future for us all.
Let the cops do what th ey do bestwrite reports, investiga te burglaries, protect
state property and occasionally help me sta rt
my truck, all of which toting a hog- leg is
unnecessary.

wanted to yell, scream, kick or whatever it'd
take to reduce him to an infected sore on the
hind quarters of the mange-ridden, syphilitic
rat that spawned him.
I was hoppin' mad. and as my companion
and I attempted to confront them, we were
intercepted by the manager and told that we
should be cool and act like nothing happened
as he had called the police and didn't want
them to leave. This sounded logical, and as we
returned to our seats it was clear that this is
what everyone else was dOing. They'd all seen
this a hundred times and knew the drill. I must
admit I was a little embarrassed by my naive
enthusiasm and ras h, barbaric respo nse to the
whole affair. We're all civilized people and this
should be handled in a mature way. It was all
so convincing-I even started to believe that
nobody had seen or cared about what had just
happened.
In short time, the police arrived wearing
those really sharp new uniforms with the
combat pants and suspenders, You go, boys!
They wrangled the two thugs and their victims
outside to get to the bottom of the matter. I
imagined they would need some eyewitnesses
so my friend and I follow ed them into the
freezing rain, taking solace in the knowledge
that I'd be suffering for the cause along with
everyone else who'd seen the assault. Without
eyewitnesses, I knew those poor fags wouldn't
have a chance , and I took a perverse glee in
knowing that it'd be an airtight case, what with
statements from so many people corroborating
their story.
Well, to my surprise, not another soul
came rorward to give a statement to the police.
"Oh no," 1thought, "I'm screwing it up!' I guess
we were still supposed to be playing it cool and
here I was trying to help by standing outside
in the rain and cold while everybody else was
sensibly back inside dancing to The Cure. I can
tell you that right then and there I felt like an
absolute beginner. You try to do the right thing
and instead you find you're acting like a greeneared imsophisticate,
When we finally went back inside, the
manager approached us and thanked us for
giving statements. He was just being nice, I
suppose' and trying to make us feel le ss
uncomfortable. But then he told us that a
bunch of people had come up to him and told
him what had happened. He said when he
asked them to give statements to the police
they all declined, saying they didn 't want to get
involved with the cops and all that. Iguess they
are pigs and all, but what happened to the plan,
the divine plan to really stick it to th ese
assholes? Had I been wrong th e whole time?
Could it be that all those Gree ners and club
kids packed into Thekla that night were a
bunch of hypocritical, weak-ass, chicken-~hit,
ineffect uals who should be ashamed to even
look at themselves in th e mirror when they
app ly th eir glitter lip balm and kiddy barrettes'!
Nab .... I suppose alice aga in I'm gett ing it all
wrong. Sorry, guys.
Keeping the faith, and st ufl

P.5.-Thanks to all the fags, dykes. and hipster
hets who showed me on that night how to play
it cool and make a difference all at th e same
time-without even trying. Bang-up job.

Ethnic Man in the shadow of race

Overseas scholars

Teja Aboleda's one-man show to address issues with humor

TESC women from Tajikistan,
Russia, study the environment

by Gina Geswelli
contributing writer

Teja Arboleda, also known as "The Ethnic
Man!," will be performing his nationallyacclaimed one-man show on the Day of
Presence. "The Ethnic Man's" theatrical focus
is definitely not limited to issues of black and
white identity. Rather, Teja incorporates his
extremely diverse background into his
outstanding performance. According to Teja,
"My father's father was Filipino-Chinese ... My
father's mother was African-American-Native
American ... My mother's father was GermanDanish ... I was born in Brooklyn, New York ...

but grew up in Japan ... "The Ethnic Man!"
approaches multiethnic issues with fast-paced
style and humor while exposing stereotypes for
laughter. His one-hour performance and
followup discussion "is a true, humorous, yet
serious, adventure, of one man's search for his
multicultural identity!" "The Ethnic Man!" will
be performing his unique and energetic show
in Lib 2000 from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. on Feb. 12.
Teja Arboleda is multi-talented, to say the
least. He is a comedian/actor who paints,
writes, directs and produces. Teja has won an
Emmy Award for his contribution to Public
Affairs Programming. He has served for two
years as staff editor for the nationally acclaimed
PBS documentary series "Frontline" and served

four years as assistant director/editor for
minority affairs programming at WGBH-TV in
Boston, MA. Teja is also a liaison television
producer between video production
companies in Japan and the US. In 1992, Mr.
Arboleda founded his company, Entertaining
Diversity Inc., which is committed to teaching
cultural diversity and tolerance through
theater, lectures, and multimedia
entertainment. Teja also hosts a website http:!
/www. entertainingdiversity. corn through
which he thoughtfully responds to elementary
student's questions and concerns regarding
their personal culture, ethnicity, race, and
identity.
Teja has recently published an

autobiography, "In The Shadow of Race"
which chronicles his journey through life as
a multicultural and multiethnic American,
His highly-acclaimed writing challenges
institutionalized notions of race, culture,
ethnicity, and class while examining his own
experience as a culturally and racially·mixed
American.
"The Ethnic Man's!" performance has
been co-sponsored by the following groups;
The Student's of Color Anthology, K.E.Y.
student services, First Peoples' Advising, The
President's Diversity Fund, S & A Board,
Talking About Race, M.E.CH.A, L.A.S.O,

"In our view, the country needs ...

,

a whole bunch of folks who look
white on the outside but don't
act white ... so many, in fact, that
it will be impossible for those in
power to really be sure who's
white merely by looking. What
that happens, the value of white
skin wil diminish
-Noellgnatiev

Should we abolish the white race? According to Noel
Ignatiev, author of "How the Irish Became White," founding
member of the New Abolitionist Society, and scholar at Harvard
University's W.E.B. DuBois Center for Afro-American research,
"The white race is neither a biological nor cultural formation;
it is a strategy for securing to some an advantage in a competitive
society.. Abolitionism is also a strategy; by attacking whiteness,
the abolitionists seek to undermine the main pillar of capitalist
rule in this country."
Dr. Ignatiev asserts that being white ha s absolutely
nothing to do with culture or identity. Rather, it merely exists
as a reflection of social position, more specifically, privilege.
Ignatiev also believe~ that racial oppression is vigorously
maintained by mainstream institutions within our society, i. e.
public schools, welfare policy, and the justice system. He asserts
that the combination of these structural forces preserve racial
domination more so than the blatant attitudes and actions of
racist gro ups.

Segrest, independent scho lar, sociologist and author of
"Memoir of a Race Traitor" explores "The profound damage
that racism has done to us." Segrest explains that whites
experience distinct psychological losses as a result of our
extended history of domination.
Although currently our personal racial biases may operate
on a more subtle level, Dr. Segrest argues that the effect of
racism on white consciousness has intensified, leaving whites
vulnerable to further internalize and suppress their emotions.
Segrest has explored the psychological defense
mechanisms which slaveholders may have acquired as a result
of their participation in the practice of slavery. She believes that
it may have been necessary for slaveowners and their families
to internalize their feelings ofguilt, thus, producing a "numbing
effect" within themselves. Essentially, their participation in such
a dehumanizing and abusive system (slavery) required them
to dull their senses by creating an internal "emotional void".
Dr. Segrest asserts that, currently, this "emotional void"
has manifested itself throughout our society, contributing to
such problems as alcoholism, violence, stress-related disorders
and family dysfunction. She believes that because current
therapies fail to address these problems in a political or
historical context, we are prevented from recognizing and
challenging racial oppression.
Noellgnatiev and Mab Segrest will be coming to The
Evergreen State College on Feb. 11 to discuss the concept of
whiteness in light of the Day of Absence activities. Students are

Although Dr.lgnatiev studies whiteness in order to abolish
it, he does not support the recent trend of "Whiteness Studies"
programs appearing on college campuses. These programs
discuss and !~cognize the benefits of being white, as well as
examine what it means and feels like to be a white person in
America. Although many of these programs are not specifically
defined, there does exist a general consensus regarding their
intent. Those who take part in the whiteness studies movement
aim to overcome psychological barriers which continue to
divide the races. This movement has drawn considerable
concern. Scholars, such as bell hooks, fear that over
emphasizing 'whiteness" could end up reinforcing the very
stereotypes that it intends to deconstruct.
Is it actually possible for whites to shed their "whiteness"?
And if so how?
Noellgnatiev suggests that through everyday interaction,
whites have opportunities to renounce their whiteness. He
states, "In our view, the country needs ... a whole bunch offolks
who look white on the outside but don't act white ... So many,
in fact, that it will be impossible for those in power to really be
sure who's white merely by looking. When that happens, the
value of white skin will diminish."
But isn't it possible that whites may be relinquishing their
whiteness for the wrong reasons? Some believe whites are finally
beginning to experience the same stereotypes and
discrimination which have plagued people of color since the
founding of our country. Would this type of reversediscrimination be responsible for providing whites with an
incentive to disavow their whiteness?
According to Ignatiev, white privilege should not be
viewed as a benefit, rather, it only exists as a substitution for
freedom. The abolition of whiteness would not only benefil
those with dark skin, rath er, it would be in the best interest of
anyone who wants to be free.
It is clea r that whites who participate in our society arl'
gra nted certain benefits, just as peol'l(' of color experience
obviolls constraints. But th e ways in which whites have been
adversely efrected by their "whiteness" ha s not been as
thorough lv ident ifi ed. In "The Sou ls of White Folks." Mab

BASKETBALL
continued from page 6

Latin American Solidarity Organization

Though Evergreen still could not contain
Dalley in the second half, they countered with a
secret weapon of their own in the body and form
of Aaron Foy. Foy had demonstrated an obvious
shift in his playing style late in the first half. Usually content to distribute the ball among
Evergreen's sundry of shooters and penetrators,
Foy flashed to the hole for three layups in the last
six minutes of the opening half, including that
which gave his team its halftime lead with 18 seconds left. "After what happened out there (in Helena). I was taking this game personally," said Fay
later. "Their guards are slow, and I knew I could
take my man off the dribble whenever I wanted
to." Foy continued to take it up strong in the second half, scoring the rest of his career-high 10
points in the lane or from the line. "I wanted this
one more than any game we've played," said Foy.
After Foy had evened the score at 65 with
one of his drives, Chip Griffith hit a miraculous
three-pointer falling away as the shot clock expired. and Evergreen was up 68-65 with four minutes to play. But Carroll's Mark Randen answered
right back with a three, an emblematic exchange
which proved indicative of the rest of the game.
Dalley's layup at the 2:02 mark gave Carroll a 7372 lead.
Spencer- to this point somewhat overshadowed by Foy's breakout night- then took over.
With just under a minute to go, he put the ball on
the floor and with a phenomenal move glided in
for a layup and was fouled. The three-point play
gave Evergreen a 75-73 at 0:48, but again Carroll
had an answer. Kelly Darragh converted two free
throws to even things with 32 seconds to go. With
the shot clock off, Evergreen could work for a final
shot. Coach Barbee called a timeout with 16 seconds showing, plenty of time for last-second heroics.

Bringing awareness through activity and art
by Nichol Everett
Staff writer
"Our goal is to inform the community and the school about Latin
America," Emiliana tells me. We are sitting in her office on the third floor.
As I gaze around her office and the one next door, MEChA, , am enthralled
with the beautiful posters and photographs. Emiliana is a co-coordinator
for LA SO, Latin American Solidarity Organization. She tells me that they
want to let people know the real situation in Latin America, and share the
culture. "It's all related," she explains, "the politics, the art, and the
costumes." LASO will be working with CIELO Project/Radio Ranch this
quarter. CIELO is a non-profit organization in Olympia striving to create
awareness on Latin America and the Latin American culture.
Already this year, however, LASO has brought in several speakers,
including Hel'iberto Hernandez, a history professor from Cuba, and Edgar
Cortez, who spoke about human rights in Mexico. LA SO also celebrated
Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead), a celebration of the dead, and one of
the biggest holidays in Mexico. For two days, people remember their relatives
and make them wonderful foods. The food is left on the table for the two
days and then eaten in a big celebration on the third day.
Upcoming events for LASO include speaker Ce~ilia Rodriguez, the
Zapatista representative in the United States. The event will be held Feb. 23
at noon in the library lobby. Also in the works is a dance sponsored by LASO
and MEChA. The group meets every Wednesday at 1 p.m. in the LA SO office
on the third floor ofthe CAB. "LASO is an open place to everyone," explains
Emiliana, "It is not specific to Latino people, and we welcome people to bring
in new ideas." For more information call Emiliana or Andrea at x6583.

Valentine's Day is approaching Queer recruiting events
A look at healthy Greener relationships . Disguised as fun-for-all galas
by Wendy Sue Slier
Student peer educator

I,

<'

It's February again, and Valentine's Day
is approaching soon. This is a great time to
show appreciation and do s6mething special
for that certain someone. It is also a good
opportunity to reflect upon your relationships.
Are they healthy? Furthermore, just what is a
healthy relationship and how can you and your
partner (friend, mother, etc.) contribute to
creating one?
The first thing that
should be said about healthy
relationships is that they take
time and effort to create. The
key ingredients of a good
relationship are respect,
honesty,
trust,
and
communication. Together, they form
the foundation of a healthy relationship.
It takes a commitment from both parties
involved to foster each of these areas. Each
needs to be developed, because all four are
interrelated and dependent on one another for
success. For example, building someone's trust
co mes from being honest, showing them
respect, and openly communicating thoughts
and feelings. In return, once someone feels
trust and respect, they can begin to feel safe to
communicate with honesty. They work
together, and each element is equally
important in building a healthy relationship.
In a nurturing relationship, both people
have a desire to learn about the other person
and their dreams, values, and goals. There is a
mutual respect for each other's individuality.
Respect also means listening to what the other
person has to say without judgment. One
person sho uld not have to compromise
themselves and their belief systems to please
the other. Both people are honored as equals
on individual paths that are coming together
to create a healthy relationship in which both
people share respect.
Honesty is a crucial component to any
relationship. To be honest can be challenging
due to a lack of trust in the other person or a
fear of being rejected for sharing who you are.
Without honesty, there is no basis for trust. It

is important to keep communication lines
open by being honest aboutthoughts, feelings,
and expectations. It is equally important to be
honest about who you are. It is the real you
that the other person wants to get to know.
It is when people are honest and respect
each other that trust comes. It is a wonderful
feeling to know that you have someone that will
always be there for you and that you can entrust
with your thoughts and feelings. Trust;'
however, can be one of the most
difficult things to build in a
relationship. It can take time
and be based 011 a number
of experiences. That is why
it is very important to only
make promises that can be
kept, because once trust has
been broken, it can be difficult to
rebuild. And being able to trust the
other person is key to a healthy
relationship
The strongest relationships are ones
involving healthy communication. It is equally
important to really listen and respond to the
other person as it is to communicate your own
feelings and needs. When you are clear about
your thoughts, you avoid the disappointment
of the other person not reading your clues and,
as a result, not meeting your needs. A healthy
relationship is one in which both people feel
comfortable in communicating the other key
elements of respect, honesty, and trust.
In the end, it is well worth the time and
effort it takes to create a healthy relationship.
It is rewarding to watch each other grow and
change as the relationship evolves. Most
importantly, you must respect yourself and
believe that you are worthy of a loving
relationship involving respect, honesty, trust,
and positive communication. You do not have
to settle for anything less. The Wellness
Resource Center encourages everyone to work
on building and enhancing healthy
relationships. We are here to provide support
and information on wellness and a place to
relax during your busy day. Our mission is to
provide wellness education and opportunities
for the Evergreen community. Call x6528 or

The Evergreen Queer Alliance (EQA)
needs you to mark your calendars for its two
big events this Februaryl Back-to-back exciting
entertainment opportunities are scheduled for
next weekend as the EQA winds up to throw
the first-ever EQA Drag Show and the biggest,
funnest, and swinginest Swing Dance ever.
The festivities open Friday on the fourth
floor of the library, when you'll have your
chance to see all your best guy friends sing and
dance as girls, and all your girl friends will be
rocking and rolling while impersonating
dudes.
As the First Annual, this event is history
in the making; people may make fun of you if
you miss it. The fun is set to commence at 8:30
p.m. SHARP! To ensure good seats for the
show (don't worry, Greeners, this isn't like
class; it's very cool to want a seat up front at
the Drag Show) I'd recommend camping out
over-night, or at least arriving 20 minutes early.
And the perkiest perk of them all ... IT'S FREEl!!
Don't forget: audience members are
encouraged to arrive in drag, and those who
do will receive an additional 50 percent off the
already low, low entrance price. To thank for
bringing you this first ever one-of-a-kind glitzy
musical and fashion bazaar, you have Liz Sales
who is coordinating the event and Allison
Williams, the director.
Next in the line-up is the Sixth Annual
EQA Swing Dance. This event has long been
Evergreen's best-attended dance of the year,
and this year will be no exception, according
to coordinator Ri Sullivan.
The Swing Dance features live band Hot
Set and you're encouraged to come dressed
"formally." The entrance price is a modest $3
for students and $5 for non-students, and
begins at 9 p.m. at the library.
What? Don't know how to swing?
Although no one will actually be mad at you if
you dance other types of.dances, swing dancing
is fun and makes you look really keen and this
year there will be LESSONS available before the
dance! Show up at 7 p.m. and be whisked

'The ball was supposed to enter to Tuggie
(off the in bounds pass), but I counted four purple
shirts around him," said FOY. "So I popped out
and took the ball to the top (of the key). They
played me to the right, so I went left, and the
double team was waiting for me. And Danny was
aU alone over there, and I had all the confidence in
the world in him."
'Danny' is Danny Neal, Evergreen's senior
guard known primarily for his out£ide shooting.
Fay's pass hit Neal just as he was spotting up from
the comer with six seconds left. And he was all
alone, alone with a shot he can hit in his sleep. "I
knew it was going in," said Neal. "It was an easy,
wide-open look." It may have been too easy, even,
and after he raised and released, after the three
points went up on the board. after bamboozled
Carroll head coach Gary Turcott called a timeout,
Neal and his teammates had plenty of reason to
celebrate. For as Neal is primarily known for his
shooting. he is secondarily known for his little rigmarole after having made a shot. 'The greatest
shot of my career," he would later say. And certainly his greatest post-shot "Danny Shuffle" as
well.
"What a birthday present," said Barbee, who
is really only 26. "It was just so nice to show that
we can play with this team. I'm thankful we got
this chance," Barbee said. Of his team's four-game
winning streak, he said, "We're playing great basketball right now. These guys understand what
their strengths are, not just as individuals, but as
teammates."
Evergreen was able to compensate for the
glaring 43-17 rebounding disparity with a 21-0
turnover advantage, committing only one in the
second half. "Incredible," said coach Turcott. "4317? I've seen a lot of games, and if a team holds
that kind of edge on the boards they usually win.
But we had too many turnovers." Spencer again
led the team with 20 points, while Griffith had 19.
Dalley finished 27 points and 12 rebounds.
Hot damn. Is there anything else left to say?

The Evergreen State College Bak Shaolin
Eagle Claw Kung Fu Team once again tested their
mettle with impressive results, making a superb
showing in a local martial arts competition. On
Saturday, Jan. 23, 11 team members, led by
National Team coach Sifu Dana G. Daniels,
traveled to Aberdeen, WA to compete in the
Sherman Benefit Tourney. While there, the
eleven of them took a total of19 places. Included
in this sweeping victory was a first place in every
forms division with an Eagle Claw team
competitor.
Sam Haskin, in the black belt division, took
1st in Forms, 3rd in Weapons, and 2nd in Heavy
Weight Fighting; Matt Sieradski. also in the black
belt division . took 2nd in Forms, 2nd in
Weapons, and 2nd in Middle Weight Fighting;
Jesse Harter, in the advanced (brown belt)
division, took 1st in Forms, 2nd in Weapons. and
3rd in Fighting; Loa Arnoth took 1st in
intermediate Forms; Jesse Smith took 1st in
beginner women's Fighting; Shasta Smith, inthe
intermediate division, took 2nd in Fighting;John
Eastlake, in the beginner division, took 1st in
Forms, as did Isaac Overcast; Abi Hassen took
3rd in beginner Forms; Sean Bliss, in the beginner
division, took 2nd in both Heavy Weight Fighting
and in Forms; and John Zadrozny, in the
beginner division, took 3rd in both Heavy Weight
Fighting and in Forms.
The tournament was hosted by Shihan
John Kraemer of Morning Star Karate/ Shim Pu
Ren andSifu MikeSkinner Jr. of Aberdeen Kenpo
Karate as a benefit for a student and his family
whose house burned down recently. The
Evergreen Eagle Claw club was the only true
Chinese Kung Fu school at the competition. Their
opponents consisted of Kenpo, Tae Kwon Do,
and Karate stylists. There was, however, one
school ca lled "Gun Fu." claimingto be of Chinese
origin, but whose members were actually
practicing forms of Ok ina wan Karate. (Gung Fu
is a Cantonese pronunciation of Kung Fu. but the
author is unsure as to what was intended by the
elimination of the second "g" in the borrowing

of this term.) Aside from a couple of instances of
negative politics on the part of a few judges of
one school who were threatened by their
presence, the organization and running of the
tournament was well done and fair. The
excellence ofBak Shaolin Eagle Claw Kung Fu was
evident throughout the tournament, as teachers
from several other schools expressed
appreciation and respect for the skill and martial
conduct of many of the team members.
The Sherman Benefit Tourney was a kickoff of the competition season for the Evergreen
team, as they prepare for a national kung fu
tournament in Dallas, TX in late June, hosted by
both Ching Wu and USA WKF. The team plans
to participate in a number of other tournaments
before June, including the Rose City Nationals in
Corvallis, OR in which they plan to repeat their
victories oflast year. The Dallas tournament will
be a National Team event as members of Bak
Shaolin Eagle Claw schools from all around the
country, including Texas, Chicago, Boston ,
Madison, Oshkosh, and Puerto Rico, will join
together to demonstrate and apply their skill and
power. Following Dallas, the National Team will
converge during July in Southern Texas for their
annual training camp, a rigorous month-long
seminar. There, team members will receive
personal instruction under the tutelage of
Grandmaster Fu Leung, the founder and leader
of Bak Shaolin Eagle Claw.
The Evergreen Eagle Claw team's victory in
this recent tournament is the latest in a string of
successful competitions that reflect the excellence
and purity of traditional kung fu transmission,
received directly from Grandmaster Fu himself,
and the expert coaching and instruction of Sifu
Daniels. Their success is demonstration of the
dedication and focus of their training but is only
one portion ofthe application of real martial arts
for which they are capable. Bak Shaolin Eagle
Claw is always looking for new students of any
level and personal interest in competition is not
a requirement for joining the club. Interested
pa rti es may contact team manager and
in structor Sam Ha sk in at (360) 357-9137 or
