Cooper Point
P,vergreen Spring Pasliions
.Winter is ending, the rain is
beginning to subside, the mud is
drying up and Evergreeners are
bursting forth on the fashion
scene in all their Springtime
finery. Fashion, always a big word
among those Geoducks -in the
know,"still plays an important
part In the life of an
Evergreen student, cis evidenc ed
In these photos gathered by one
of o ur roving photographers.

Overalls have been around for
years. Never before, though. have
they enjoyed the popularity that
they have now on the Evergreen
campus. Here we see two
examples of this hortest spring
fashion item displayed in natural
surroundings. Overalls can be
successfully highlighted by Earth
Shoes, Army boots or several other
excotong accessories fram the
season's lineup. Fades, rips and
patches alsomake smashing
additions to your overall
collection.

black leotards and boots, snappily
accentllated by baggy locks.

The daypack is once again a
part of the Spring fashion
scene. Always a handy
accessory, the backpack can
also be quite exciting when
paired with that versatile,
all-tim e favorite, the down
jacket.

Can you guess which of
these Evergreen fashion
photos were taken in 1998,
and which were taken in
19761

On April 15, members of the Native
American faculty met to consider the program
and the establishment of the Native American
and World Indi genous Peoples Studies
(NAWIP'S) Center. The center will offer a
variety of opportunities for academic change.
The NAWIPS Center will become a new
home for the existing Native American Studies
program which currently exists as a
curriculum offering of the Social Sciences
department. It focuses on the indigenous
peoples of the Pacific Northwest, the Americas
and the world.
According to Native American Studies
faculty, Alan Parker, the center will resemble
"a combination of the Tacoma campus and the
Washington Center." Full-time faculty will be
assigned to th e center for purposes of
developing and offering curriculum and will
also conduct a' range of research and
community education . Parker sees this as "the
next logical step in the transition to a

fulfillment of Evergreen's histori cal
commitment to Native American studies."
"Because ofthis, no new expenditures are
required to initiate since the two regular faculty
who will be assigned to the center are already
on staff, and the development of new offices
and staff will be subject to raising new funds,"
sa id Parker.
Parker and others have also developed
an updated 1998-1999 course ca lled
"Regeneration: A Celebration with the Land."
It will focus on the Indian tribes of the
Northwest and will look at the history of these
tribes, their distinctive cultural traditions and
contemporary social, political and economic
conditions as they occupy that particular
region.
Another aspect of the class will be the
ways in which these tribes have contributed to
the culture and economy of the Puget Sound
region. The roles that tribes playas co-mangers
of the fishery resources and habitat, including
watershed management. For more information
contact Alan Parker contact at x6889.

A new light on

This snappy trench-coat creation by
U.S. government surplus is another item
making a big splash this Spring. A
handy item in the weI country of
Olympia, the trench coat is modeled
here with matching boots, hat and tote bag accessories. A guaranteed hit with
the "in" crowd, a trench coa t with
optional liner is always right in style.

an old problem
by Hillary Rossi
Staff Writer
Evergreen student Sebnem Pura caps off
her individual contract on June 4, at noon, in
the Library lobby when she presents her
findings on domestic violence. All students
are invited.
Next Thursday Pura presents at
Evergreen on domestic violence, giving
information on how to get involved in
stopping it and how labels affect domestic
violence. She may get other speakers as well.
Pura finishes up her contract "Better
Community for Battered Women" next week.
Currently, she interns as the assistant
outreach coordinator in the family center of
"Volunteers of America," based in Oregon.
The family center of "Volunteers of America"
is a women's shelter. She assists the
coordinator of the shelter and fundraises for
the organization.
. Pura transferred to Evergreen from
California last year. In Califormia, she
volunteered for a homeless shelter. Once
living in Olympia, she volunteered for the
Crisis Center.
"Through aU these community services,
I started realizing how common violence

Eat Me!

against females is," Pura explains. "I can't sit
on a problem. 1 have to do something about
it."
Pura returned to California in the
beginning of Spring Quarter to volunteer for a
month for a non-profit organization called
"Transforming Communities" as part of the
contract. There she started a support group for
teenage girls talking about relationships, sex
crimes and domestic violence. She also
watched videos, attended conferences, read 20
books about violence against women, and kept
a journal documenting her thoughts on
domestic violence. A11 of these activities
prepared her for May when she started
volunteering for "Volunteers of America."
Pura thinks that being Turkish and living
for 18 years in Turkey works to her advantage
because that prOvides a better prespective on
domestic violence in the United States. She says
that all the incidents of domestic violence she
has heard about since starting her work stand
out to her because she is not from the United
States.
The only way to make change happen is
to make other people aware, she says.

Free love
Nine ways to adore your free box
A.Loskota
Contributing writer
It's the time of Ihe seaso n. when the free
box rulIS full .. Like ma ny of us low class drudges
\\'ho wurk tirelessly in the sa lt mill es of
Evergreen and Olympia, I love the free box. II
has been the so urce of cO ll ntless ~u rrri se~ and
many st aples of my intere.\I ing wardrobe. If you
arc going home. and ),0 11 know
thaI your parentals are gui ng
to buy you a new wardrobe
anyways, don 't tote yo ur old
stuffhome. free box it. Ca n't
sllIuggle it on the plan e?

Good Will unl ess yo u

in the free box, and enrich
the liv es of ot hers at
Evergree n. Once I go t a
Russian military coat of wool
out of it. Recently I saw the
tweed coat I put in there being
worn by a member of a band
playing outside the community center. It's cool
to let your clothes run free and have new lives.
Therefore I present: Nine Ways to Love Your
Free Box- (1) Help out by tying shoes together,

by Amber Rack

or just leave it in the shoe box. (2) Beer bottles
should go in recycling, whi ch is about to
become bou nt eous ly full aga in for all you
brewers. (3) Don't dump trash in it!! No one
wants your not es from the la st year, your
unwashed underwear, or your rotten bag of
potat oes. (4) Pllt the food items outside orthe
free box. along with app liances, furnitu re (ever
try to wrestle a chair out of the box?). and thi ngs
that drip or leak. Pu t them in a
cardboard box, a plastic bag, or
a ziploc baggie. Think clean.
(5) Put your unneeded stuffin
th e free box, not th e
untouchable or unclea n. (6)
Use protecti on, rubber
gloves are good, due to
unpredictable sq uishiness
and
rain y weather
dampness. (7) Unwanted
humans should not be left
in th e free box, despite
however intoxicated they
are. Send them to the
Public
Sa fety
as
volunteers, or use them
to clean your bathroom.
(8) The Free Box is not an extra long outhouse,
a fireplace, or an emergency coffin. (9) Put in
what you take out. Love your Free Box, and the
Free Box will love you!!!!

HINT:
Welcome me to th e city of
angels, devil prophets still
h o ld my hand. I walked
your stillborn streets for
hours, ethnic echoes
spitting out their tria ls.
Welcome me to a haven
given, it's well received
into my open arms. I ran
in my sleep through
shaking tremors, I had the
splitting earth echOing in
my ears.

1400- Jump start in B-lot allows an unwashed
panhandler to gratefully climb behind the
wheel of his BMW, stow his skateboard in the
backseat, and drive home in time to catch
South Park on his satellite dish.
1614- Criminal trespassing, or "ambulating,
without due cause or invitation, on private
or restricted acreage," lands someone in hot
water.
2248- B-Iot motorist locked out of her vehicle.
If you ever lock your keys in your ride, just

0320- Lost property is recovered. The book,
How to Become a Cesspool Builder, Servicer

student desperate to payoff $6,000 in credit
card bills accrued in Mediaworks.
1618- Community Center Box-SUPV alarm. E3
dispatch to site. One-adam-twe;ve:
Deciphered, all this police jargon really means
is that someone wanted to know if the Sobe Tea
in the CAB is tastier for $2.10 than the identical
product sold for $1.19 at Safeway. It isn't.
1955- A wallet is stolen. The Campus
Superhero, Trust-A-Far, utilizes a Tantric love
technique to ascertain that a nefarious villain
is plotting to use his misappropriated funds to
fill a huge warehouse with Beanie Babies,
which he will later sell to collectors for more
than $4 million per toy.

crushes a bike to pieces near the CAB. The
pieces are immediately stolen.
1800- A bicycle is stolen from A-dorm. The

And so another school year draws to a
close. I've been thinking about what sort of
column I wanted to rlose with, and I've finally
rearlll'd a decision: why not use this final "I
Wrote This" to pay tribute to all that went on in
the world. all the biggest. happiest. saddest, and
stupidest events wh ich have occupied our minds
and magazines since last September?
So, for my readers (yes, both of you) allow
me to present - what else? - the first annual
Ozy Awards.
"Stupidest pop culture phenomenon over
which the media endlessly drooled" award:
Titanic. Please. will someone tell me why this
OIwhlown teeny-bopper love story is viewed as
artistic?
"Mo st undeserved egotism" award:
Coinridentally, this one goes to james Cameron .
Ilis ''I'm the king oftlle world" declaration at the
Oscars sort or made me want to throw up.
"Short memory" award: The American
public as a II'hole. Two weeks after the country
ncarl), went to war with Iraq a second time,
nobody remembered it any more. My theory is
that they were all too busy going to see Titanic.

"Low profile" award: Newt Gingrich. Um,
has Newt done anything in the past year or so?
Perhaps he's waiting for just the right moment
to resurface. or perhaps he's hard at work writing
a bill which would place baby seals in
orphanages, then have them clubbed to death.
"Worst act of mean-spirited bigotry"
award: Washington State passes a ban on gay
marriage. Gay marriage was already illegal in this
state. Essentially, this bill existed so that bigots
in the legislature could further ostracize a
minority group which has been kicked around
far too much already. Three boos and a hiss for
the Washington Republicans.
"Worst name for an airport" award:
"Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport."
Maybe in honor of the Gipper they'll instruct
pilots to forget where they're gOing, or maybe
forget how to f1y a plane altogether.
"Best picture" award: The Full MOllty. I'm
smarter than the academy! Ha ha ha hal
THPPPBPTBT!
"Stupid and incriminating quote of the
year" award: "If! did kill her, it would have meant
I really loved her. right?" - O.j. Simpson.
"Further blurring of the line between
entertainment and news" award: Monica
Lewinsky appears on the covers of Time and
Newsweek three or four times a piece.
Meanwhile, Entertainment Tonightdoes a story
in which they follow poor Monica around for a
while.
"Saddest story of the year" award: A tie
amongst every event which involved one child
shooting another. The Oregon story is but the

most recent installment.
"Dumbest proposed solution" award: A
Georgia legislator, who unfortunately is not
Newt Gingrich, proposed legally obligating
teachers to carry guns too so they can shoot back.
Hmm, maybe I'll home-school my kids. Or send
them to school wearing armor.
"Silliest death" award: A tie. If you had told
me in December that two famous people would
die inside a week by skiing into trees, I wouldn't
have been particularly surprised that it would
turn out to be Michael K~nnedy and Sonny
Bono.
"Weirdest
posthumous
image
rehabilitation" award: Sonny Bono. After he died
the press ran a lot of stories talking about what
an underrated and effective legislator he was.
Before his death his name was a punch line along
the lines of "Barry Manilow." I'm dreading the
death of Ronald Reagan and the things people
are going to say about him.
"Worst investigation" award: Kenneth
Starr's investigation first into Clinton's business
ethics, then (bizarrely) his bedroom ethics, too,
has now gone on fully three times as long as
Watergate, without touching the President at all.
So that's it. The first annual Ozy awards. If
they seem a tad on the negative side, well, such
is the mood of the world, the nation and this
writer as another school year nears its close.
May you always view the world with
wonder and just as much cynicism as is healthy_
peace love empathy.

We had a mitigation meeting with our
professor to discuss the unprofessional
manner in which our paper was handled. This
professor requested that another professor be
present at the meeting for observation.
Halfway through the meeting, this "observing"
professor spoke up and advised our professor
not to answer several of the questions. He
advised our professor not to answer the
questions we asked about what part of the
paper it was that she believed had "political
and legal impacts." It turns out that the
professor who was brought as an "observer"
has over 20 years experience as a lawyer. He has
practiced law with Congress, businesses and
tribes.
In the end, our questions about what
contents of our paper are perCeived as so
dangerous and threatening by a professor were
stone-walled. All of this was conducted under
the guise of up-holding the school's policies of
conducting interviews. Interesting that out of a
class of 75 students ours was the only paper
singled out for this.
Good 01' Evergreen. You can't say that we
aren't receiving a real education here. We
certainly learned our lesson on how the politics
of free speech work on this campus.

The Barbed
Hooks of Evil
All in all, what I am attempting to establish
is the concept of racism as an actual value of
European culture, rather than an abstract
manifestation that just happened to occur.
Given our experience in the last ice age, which
essentially became the asili and origin of our very
culture, a psychological need for control was
established. This was based upon well over
100,000 years in the arctic climate of Europe. in
which nature manipulated us, killed us, and
essentially controlled our very destiny and
existence. The mind frame basically became "we
must control anything and everything before it
can possibly control us," which was already in
place when we encountered the rest of the
world's people of color. Acknowledging our
genetically recessive, minority status in the world
threatened the potential control of ourselves or
our surroundings, and we responded
accordingly, as determined by our asili. The
proper response was to formulate a "system" that
would ensure our control and genetic survival
for generations to come; hence imperialistic
colonialism. Plato's own philosophy of the ideal
man/state in fact demonstrates the formulation
of defined racism, which would be used to justify
said colonialism. This would refute any claims
that slavery was not raced based, or that race was
not a concept until the 18th century_ Only in the
18th century did someone come up with a
concrete term regarding race, the value was
already established, as determined by the asili

and its subsequent manifestation as the fear of
White genetic annihilation. This creates a
problem for the liberal of today who
wholeheartedly believes that they are in fact not
racist. If racism is actually a value of European
culture that has its roots in a need for control,
then it will take a lot more work than hating
Nazis and not saying "nigger" in order to
eradicate such. If we acknowledge racism as an
intrinsic value to our culture, then that forces us
to double check everything that we perceive of
as "normal." everyday life. It forces us to address
the underlying values that we simply believe in
and don't question, and the origination of such
values. We need to analyze whether our values,
as determined by our experience in the last
glacial period, are still called for today, which will
be beyond difficult because our entire civilization
is founded upon such. Nothing is abstract;
nothing exists for its own existence; all
behavioral manifestations have a root cause from
beginning to end_ Such is the case for racism,
and until we actually address it in this manner,
people will continue to be murdered by our
culture ... and nothing will change.

What was Bible jim's purpose when he
camc to the Evergreen campus proclaiming
Christianity? If it was to bring people to Christ I
think a more effective way would be to follow the
example ofjesus as close as humanly possible by
showing love, compassion and patience and
answering questions about Christian beliefs and
doctrine. As a Christian,l was saddened by Bible
jim's approach to preaching Christianity. I feel
that some of his ideas, about marriage and
women's roles for example, were outrageous and
not Christian. Also as a Christian though. I was
able to look beyond his offensive ensemble and
see his point which was that jesus Christ died on
the cross to forgive ALL sins and those who
believe in him will be saved . That was his
message. He could have entertained intellectual
talkers and philosophers all night, but the
bottom line is that jesus Christ was God and He
carried the load of our sins by death on the cross.
It is that alone that saves us, not by being nice,
not by being an evangelist or by any other human
attempt toward goodness or enlightenment.
Realizing the pain jesus suffered for all humans
makes true Christians want to live as close to His
example as humanly possible, but I also realize
that I am only human and I do sin. The good
news is that I have salvation through jesus Christ.
I agree with Bible jim's message about jesus
Christ, but I feel that he preached too much law
through persecution, insults and accusations
and not enough Gospel. His approach closed
doors instead of opening them. His strategy was
an attention-getter, J'Il give him that. but it took
away from the impact ofthe message. Therefore

I encourage all who were offended, angered or
confused by his presentation to forgive his
human inadequacies, and seek the message he
intended to proclaim. I also encourage everyone
who doubts the possibility of jesus and the Bible
as truth (absolute truth) to read Surprised by
F,1ith by Dr. Don BieriI'. Reading this book was
part of my journey toward opening my heart to
the Holy Spirit and accepting jesus Christ as my
Savior because it provided me with solid facts
about the accuracy of the Bible and jesus' life. I
think what Bible jim did on Wednesday was
admirable; the grace of God has also become
apparent in my life, but sharing that grace and
not just the law is the approach that I chose to
take to proclaim the good neWs of Christ.

Backstage in jeopardy
by Jen Koogler
concert goer

This Friday, May 29, a forum will be held
at the Capitol Theater to discuss the future of
live music in downtown Olympia.
The Capitol Theater's Backstage area, a
venue for all-ages concerts by local and
national acts alike, may be shutting down at
the end of june due to decreasing attendance
and increasing lack of safety,
The Capitol Theater is home to the
Olympia Film Society (OFS), which shows
independent films weekly and holds other
special events throughout the year. The
Backstage (the area behind the screen) is
usually used for live music concerts on the
weekends.
Recently, the Backstage has fallen victim to
acts ofthievery and violence. Sound equipment
was stolen from the Backstage, the technical
director was assaulted in March, and this month
the stage manager was hurt after attempting stop
a patron from urinating on the seats.
These incidents left the Events
Committee, made up of lois Mafteo, Patrick
Maley, and Harry levine, to submit proposals
to the Olympia Film SOCiety's Board of
Directors to stop scheduling shows in the
Backstage area.
One proposal, submitted on April9 after
the assault on the technical director, voiced the

concerns of the committee. They stated the dangerous ." They supported OFS showing
decreasing attendance at concerts and the films seven days a week.
The committee remained committed to

What is this I hear, Depp does

time. Is nothing sacred? The savage livereating eels in Hollywood would never get

who are riding coach on a transatlantic
flight.
Well, I don 't know about the

stopping for the more visual bits along
the way. The movie slips in and out of
narration and dialogue ;IS if conscious.
then not so for the rest of the trip. Depp
steps into the casino and holds up th e
satchel of medical supplies, the camera
goes close and there YOII see it, the rat
crazed look in Depp's eyes and the sweat

Colorado. Who really cares what he does
off screen, but whatever they did, it
worked. In my opinion, it was Depp's
best performance and most strange role.
About Benicio Del Toro, well, what's to
say, as always, perfection. lyle lovett,
Gary Busey and Ellen Barkin all paid
their respects to the good doctor who is
spotted sitting in the lounge looking
very shady.
If! were to have one critism of the
film, it would be the hallucination, No
doubt that it was top notch computer
work, but Steadman should have been
incorporated. There are a whole group
offollowers out there who have come to
see Hunter's delusions through the work
of Ralph Steadman,
Anyway, I recommend the movie
to anyone over the age of 12. Go see it.

Cancer Oune 22 - July 22): I consulted my
tarot cards about you, and regrettiilly I have to
inform you they told me nothing about your
path. So the Great Madame Zanne summoned
all of her powers and realized now is the time
for you to check all of your socks fl)r holes.
Leo Ouly 23 - August 22); Business is looking
up for Leos. The natural leader of the Zodiac
should put his/ her powers to good use this
week and start a new religion or pet grooming
salon. Resist your mysterious cravings for pink
vinyl. summer will soon be here.

SagittariUS (November 22 - December 21):
Frantically clawing at the door to the computer
lab minutes before it opens? Uh-oh, did
somebody wait until the last minute to type
their 30 page thesis? Bad Sagittarius, no
Scooby snack! All the other Sagit tarians who
did their work may now flee to Tijuana.
Capricorn (December 22 - January 19):
There's a little word like tact. Like, oh say, the
faculty evaluation you just wrote could have
used a little more of this word. like when you
said your prof "had their head up their
(expletive deleted)," tact would dictate
something along the lines of: "I really
appreciated (namel's unique way of viewing
the subject matter."
Aquarius (January 20 - February 18): A well
planned safari through downtown Olympia
will help you keep your sanity. Rambling buses,
screaming teenagers, and sweet coffee: Isn't
that what life is all about?
Pisces (February 19 - March 20): Your routine
is getting old. It's time for you to live a little
and loosen the restrictions you place on others.
I say a couple of piercings, a new haircolor, and
a new stereo to blast "In A Godda da Vida"
from will do nicely. Don't take my word for it,
consult
8-ball, too.

Virgo (August 23 - September 22): You are
endowed with the power to smite anyone who
uses the word "dichotomy" outside of class for
the next 72 hours. I know I can count on you
to use your power justly and liberally.

WOULD YOU like to be the
NEXT S&A BOARD
OF'F'ICE MANAGER?!

libra (September 23 - October 23): Moose
bites can be quite nasty, mind you. Stay out of
the wilderness as much as you can. Stay at
home and partake of as many modern
conveniences as possible. Remember, TV is
your friend.
