Howard Zinn visits Olympia
Proclaimed author to speak about
"Bringing Democracy Alive"
COMMENTARY~

by Ellen Marie Hinchcliffe

Contributing writer
I love to go hear people give "talks." An
impassioned talk that buth cha ll enges and
tn~pires is food for my soul. Last year I had the
hUllur and great pleas ure to go hl'ar Cornell
West: scholar. theologian,act ivist and author of
Hace Matters, speak at PLU in Tacoma. I was
struck by how much list ening to someone speak
could affect me. It was like he untied all these
knots in my brain and unplugged my heart . His
humor, his deep love and compassion coupled
with his fierce determination to cha ll enge
racism and oppression contin ues to inspire my
thoughts and actions. Walking out I said to my
friend , "Now if that was churc h I would be there
every Sunday!"
Such a speaker is coming to Olympia next
week. I am looking forward to having those
knots untied again (Hey, this decolonization
thing is a constant process!) and feeling my
heart flow a little more.
If you are unfami lar with Zinn and his
work I will offer a brief history. Howard Zinn
was born to European immigrant parents in
1923 and raised in the slums of Brooklyn. He
worked in a sh ipyard and was a decorated
bomber during World War II. He att ended
college on the G.!. bill and in 1956 landed a
teaching job at the black women'~ college.
Spellman in Georgia. He became very involved
with hi s st udent s and supported their
courageous struggles against segregation and
also the repression-they felt on campus. After

three years he was fired for his political activism
and went to teach political theory at" Boston
University. Zinn continued to be an ally to his
st ud ent s and once aga in encount ered an
administrati on uneasy with his empha sis on
both theory and action. Zinn was an act ive
part icipan t ill the civil rights movement and the
ant i-war movem ents against the U.S. wars iii
Vietnam and Iraq. He has publis hed many
books his most well known being A People's
Hist uo' uf"The United Sta tes which in its first
10 yea~s of printing sold over 300,000 copies.
A People's History is a retelling of
"American" history through the eyes of the
women and men who were here when
Columbus stumbled onto shore, African people
brought here in bondage and their descendants,
Mex icans who found themselves foreigners on
their own land, Asian and European immigrants
and so on. What struck me most about A
People's History is that eve n though the history
is so devastating, (I admit to throwing the book
across the room a few tim es. wishing I could
hurl it at Thomas Jefferson or Henry Kissinger)
Zinno whil e laying ba re th e hypocri sy an.d
brutality of the "powerful." gives more than
equal time to resistance. The amazing resistance
and vision that has always existed in what is now
the Un it ed States of America .
This deep sense of resistance is evident in
his more recent book, You Can't Be Neutral on
a Moving Train. It is an autobiographical book
about teaching. activism and hope. Early on in
the book Zinn describes how a small group of
students from Spelman and Moorhouse College
successfully integrated the Atlanta libraries.
Putting it into a larger historical context he

SCHEDULE

sta tes, "I have told yo u about th e mo dest
campaign to desegregate th e Atlanta's libraries
because the history of social movements often
confines itself to the large events, the pivotal
moments ... Missing from such .histories are the
countless small actions of unknown people that
led to th ose great moments. When we
understand this, we can see that the tiniest acts
of protest in which we engage may become the
invisible roots ot'social cha nge."
This is an important vision of resistance
for people living now. Often we feel our actions
and Jives are not making an impact. So much
bloodshed and oppression, so little change. Last
year they cut AFDC because raising children isn't
considered worthy "work" and now they want
to abolish Affirmative Action in Washington
state. (Gee, institutionalized racism and sexism
ended and no one told me.)
By placing ourselves in the living history
of resistance, we can draw strength and lessons
from the past and see our role as leaving a legacy
of resistance for the future. Zinn's life and work
are an inspirJn g testament to that and I
encourage you to join me Feb. 4 at Capitol High
School and get some soul food for the work we
have ahead of us. Thanks.

Reactions to Clinton's sex scandal
by Hillary Rossi
Staff writer
Last week, tapes of White House inter!!
Monica Lewinsky accusing the president o~
having sexual relations with her in his office
surfaced.
In the tapes, recorded without her
knowledge, Lewinsky says that Clinton told her
to remain quiet about their affair, keeping it
from the attorneys for Paula Jones' sexual
harassment case against him.

If he were found to have told LeWinsky
to remain silent about their alleged affair, he
would be guilty of perjury. Clinton could be
impeached or he could possibly resign.
"I think it's ridiculous that we're involved
in people's private lives," said Rahda Sosienski,
fourth year student. "If he's accused of some
atrocious crime like molestation or murder,
then it's our business. But committing adultery
is not enough to make it my business."
Third year student, Tanya Mendenhall,
thinks he should be impeac hed or should

resign, but not because of any affair with
Lewinsky.
" (I only think he should be impeached or
resign] ifhe lied under oath or asked her to lie.
It's the law and he is our country's
representative," she said.
Rudy Sookbirsingh, an Eve rgreen
student in the Masters of Environmental
Sciences program, said, "If Hillary can live
with it, I can live with it. If we're talking
about perjury, that's totally different. He
should be impeached if that's true. But I

think someone's performance in bed is
irrelevant."
A second year student, Leslie Stender,
said. "I think somebody who has committed
perjury is not someone we can trust. Ifhe's not
a person with integrity in his private life, it's
impossible for him to bea person with integrity
in his publiC life."
"He's done some good things, "
Mendenhall said. "But we can't let him off and
not let the rest of the country off the hook lif
they perjure themselves]."

They are quiet, working, scheming.
These are the architects Evergreen chose
to design Seminar II. They are in a small room
at the bottom floor of the College Recreation
Center, waiting for input.
With the ever-increasing student
population at Evergreen, there comes a need
for more space. Evergreen expects at least 1000
more students on campus in the next 10 years.
M.ahlum architects' blueprints show the
entire Evergreen campus, and the location for
the new seminar building. It will be located
behind the Library adjacent to the one seminar

building already built.
The architects formed ideas on how
Seminar U will be laid out, and were looking ..
for student, staff and faculty input. They are '
trying to maintain the "content and character
of the building."
Tuesday morning the architects put
together a chart on the wall distinguishing the
goals, facts, issues, needs, and concepts for the
Seminar II building. Students, staffand faculty
filtered in and out of the room in the CRC
Tuesday giving their desires, goals and needs
for the space which is to become Seminar II.
Some of the ideas for the use of the
Seminar II space were more lecture halls, more
seminar rooms, more office space, more
socializing space, more entertainment space,
and more child care center space.

Veron ica DeNegri spoke to Evergreen students at nool1

and students spent th eir time and money in order for DeNl'gri
to come from Washington , D.C. and speak. She was dressed
professionally in a red suit coat and black skirt. She paced back

importance of human right s. She began by stating th at her life
ha s changed during the 23 yea rs of her freedom, but th e
protection of human rights has not.
In 1975, Veronica DeNegri became one of the thousands
that "di sappeared " under Genera l Augusto Pinochet's regime.

by Christabel Fowler
Contributing writer

The women of Chile with their "arpilleras" played a key
rule in showing the world th e atrocities th at were being
committed by Pinochet's regime, These wives and mothers
looked for their husbands and sons in dungeon-like prisons.
They chained themselves to the former congress building ~.
in protest for losing their loved ones. They waited for the f'
pulice to beat them and remove them to concentration
camps. Here, they were ca ll ed "prisoners of conscience."
DeNegri stated that the U.S. government was not
going to help them, because the government helped
put PiilOchet in power. She states that the Nixon
adlTlinistration was looking out for its interests in
th e Chilean market. The election of Salvador .

The Evergreen men's and women's swim and diving
team had their final home meet of the season this SatUIday,
Swimming against Western Washington University, Biola
University from California, and Willamelte University, the
Greeners did very well,
This was a successful meet for swimmer Bonnie Martin
who broke the school record for the 100 meter breast stroke
for the fourth time thiS season with a time of 1:14:66, this is
just a little more than 'a second away from q~atifYing for
nationals. Bonnie has four away meets left in the season to
qualify,
.
.
The men's 200 meter free relay team consisting of Nate
MahQney, Howard Gearns, JosefKuehnast, and Matt Heaton
qualified for nationals by just a mere second with a time of
1:34:35.
Diver Wade Jerdee helped to provide some much needed
school spirit and put some fear in the opposing teams during
a break by putting on the Geoduck mascot costume and
circling the pool while waving green and white pom poms.
Hopefully someone else will continue on with this tradition
as Wade is one of the graduating seniors from the team.
Other seniors the team is saying good-bye to are Tammi
Anderson and Nate Mahoney, Nate ~idthis meet was a great
way to end his swimming career, even though it is kind of
sad, he did get to qualifY for nationals,

The stomachs of Pacific Northwest sports fans did a
collective barrel roll when, in the final stages of a statementmaking victory over the Lakers, Gary Payton lay on the floor in
a paroxysm of pain. More shocking than the prospect of serious
injury to a man who has missed only two career regular season
games was the fact that that such an injury would evaporate
world championship aspirations in a year few pundits picked
the Sonics to even nip the Lakers' neels. At that moment,
watching the Glove writhe in agony, clutching his right ankle, I
realized the stakes the Sonies are playing for in 1998.
The durable, tougher than leather Payton hopped to his
feet unhUIt, and everyone who has been along for the merry
ride of the Sonics through the NBA minefield breathed a sigh
of relief; the giddy journey could continue.
"This was a very important game for us, a very emotional
game," said Baker (20 points, 10 rebounds), "Sending George
to the All-Star Game and staying atop the Pacific was important,
espeCially against a team like the Lakers ,"
It is only slightly less shocking than the TESC men's
basketball team's success that the Sonies could go from a
summer rock bottom to the NBA's best record, Somehow a team
whose best player was holding a gun to its head could parley
the strife and negativity into a blockbuster trade. To say Yin
Baker is better than Shawn Kemp is debatable, but there is one

fac t that cannot be questioned. The truth is that Vin Baker is
better for the Sonics than Shawn Kemp, hands down.
This was a huge move.lt was bigger t'hafl the re-acquisition
of Dale Ellis and his contemptuous disregard for the three point
line, It was bigger than the addition of veteran Jerome Kersey's
feral intensity. It was bigger than the pickup of savvy, scrappy
backup point guard Greg Anthony. And it was a lot bigger than
the signing ofspring-legged Aaron Williams and rookie shooter
James Cotton. Frankly, between you and me, Vin Baker is the
bomb,
Why is Baker and the Sonies better than Kemp and the
Sonies? Kemp turned the ball over like it was a new leaf. He
picked up fouls in bunches to wind up warming the pines
instead of pounding the boards, where the eternally reboundimpaired Sonies desperately needed him, Baker is giving thelll
a silky smooth power forward who can shoot from the outside,
pass from the post and stay in the damn game.
Baker is a nice guy, Kemp was a surly, cryptic-speaking
loner. Baker, and the rest of the new Sonics, bring a maturity
and affability to a team known in the past for its inner strife,
arrogance, and inscrutability, One could see the kinder, gentler
ream adopting the Mariners' erstwhile ad line, "You Gotta Love
These Guys,"
Seattle is a serious title contender because they play with
a grace, fluidity and chemistry previously unseen in the Emerald
City, It's a joy to see the team work the fast break, flipping each
other unselfish passes on a headlong plunge to the hole. In the

half court, they move the ball with purpos!' and poise, tinding
an open shooter who then proceeds to fill it up.
The Sonics are in command of the Pacific Division and
are 011 the fast track to get home court advantage throughout
the playoffs. Whenever the Lakers lose, it is glory deferred, not
denied, but Seattle has to think with 4 of7 at the Key they can
handle a callow bunch of kids who still can't make dutch free
throws consistently. L.A. has the edge in horsepower but this
Sonics team has proven that they are the smartes t and most
disciplined group outside of Chicago.
It has been an unexpected thrill to watch the Son ics
dominate the league with so many new faces wearing the forest
green, but there is a dark cloud over the city even with the Reign
gone away. The Sonics are the worst rebounding team in the league
and GM Wally Walker has given no indication that he's going to
do anything about it. ""'e'll have to hope that the Sonies' shooting
touch is on each and every night, because they aren't going to get
too Illany second chances. And even if the signature George Karl

bounce off the rim, you certainly can't be sure the opposition won't
get another, and another, and another crack at it because these
So nics couldn't clean the glass with a bottle of Wind ex.
These are niggling criticisms in a season of sm iles and
pride for the home team. For now, the Sonics send George Karl,
and perhaps three of their own, to participate in the league's
All-Star showcase. Perched atop the division, and the NBA, the
Sonics serve as a pleasant reminder that nice guys do finish first.

Cinematic history a divisive one
In honor
of Black History
Month , let me
welcome
everyone to the
1st
Annual
AfricanAmer ican Film
Festival. I am
deeply sat isfi ed
to be ab le to
. present it to you
with the help of
by
the Olympia
Film Soc iety,
Vaun Monroe
UMOJA (the
Black Student Union at The Evergreen State
College), and The Evergreen State College itself.
Our goal is to present an overview of the AfricanAmerican experience through the medium of
film. My hope to whet your appetite for more
film s by and about African -Americans thi s
month is, by no means, a comprehensive perusa l.
OFS has shown an admirable willingness to
provide more diverse ci nematic representation
to the community, this month's programming is
tangible proof of that. The rest will be up to you.
As an aspiring filmmaker I may be
somewhat biased, but I feel that no other art form
even approaches the power of cinema. There is
not one amongst us who has not, at one time or
another, marveled at the capacity of cinema to
provide us with insight into worlds we may have
otherwise never had access to. British film
historian Lindsay Anderson said, "Everyone who
has seen more than half a dozen films with his
eyes opens knows that if cinema does not create
the significant social movements of our time it
intimately reflects them." From this vantage
point African-American film history can provide
an enriching addendum to exp lorati on of
African -A merican culture and the manner in
which it was being portrayed and reacted to.

racial libel was commonp lace. The prevailing
et hnocentrism ostracized many ethnic peop les
but victimized African-Americans more than any
other group. Newspapers and magazines use the
words "coo ns ." "darky," and "nigge r"

Thoughts

indiscriminately. The literature of the time
routinely dehumanized African-Americans, often
rationalizing lyn chings and other unjust
treatment of Blacks. All of these factors reckoned
in the first images of African-Americans in
cinema but the most profound influence came
from the film" Birth of a Nation."
"Birth of a Nation," released February 8th,
1915, is D. W. Griffith's racist masterpiece, a
dazzling cinemat ic tour deforce, the first box
office blockbuster, and the first film to
prominently showcase film 's ability to do more
than amuse. "Birth of a Nation" acknowledged
America's subconscious terror ofinterracial sexspecifically Black men and white women. (White
men have never been constrained as suchThomas Jefferson anyone'?) It was used as a
recruitment tool for the KKK and, in retrospect,
it was perhaps not coincidental that lynchings
peaked in 1915. "B irth of a Nation" also
powerfully established end uring film stereotypes
of African-Americans. Donald Bogle, arguably
Amer ica's foremost African-American film
historian, in hi s book "Toms, Coons, Mulattoes,
Mammies and Bucks: An Interpretive History
of Blacks in American Films," articulates in great
detail these images. These images have
undergone some changes but they continue to
exist in prominent films today. 'When Cuba
GoodingJr. can get an Oscar for portraying a new
age Coon while the work of Morgan Freeman,
Angela Basset, Laurence Fishburne, Alfre
Woodard and a host ofothers goes unrecognized,
you know much work remains to be done in the
filmmaking industry.
The filmmaking industry is, however,
merely a capitalistic entity responding to the
desires of the audience. I question why the
tilmgoing audience is so hungry for these hollow,
simplist ic caricatures of Africa n-Americans on
screen. Furthermore, I wonder why these images
are satistying, even pleasurable for much of the
filmgoing audience. Frankly, it is a confusing set
of circumsta nces.
I think a lut of this confusion is because a
great deal oflhe lion-African American filmgoing
audien cc simply does not know that much about
African-American people. This fac t is
compounded by another: hardly anyone would
dare to admit it. Finally, it is exacerbated by the
fact that even fewer people want to talk about it .

So we are reduced to pretending it doesn't matter.
At this point I imagine I am offending the
bourgeois, the self righteous and the self deluding.
But a peek at the different stances of white
America and Black America on the O.J. Simpson
case and Affirmative Action shows dear evidence
of the racial chasm that exists today. Regardless
as to one's personal viewpoint on these
controversial issues, the existence of the chasm
cannot be disputed by any reasonable person.
The racial divide is composed primarily of
ignorance. A rather unfortunate tendency of
most folks is to fear what they don't know. Great
is the number ofhucksters willing to exploit racial
fear for their own personal gain. ''America's Most
Wanted," the Willie Horton .commercials and
Proposi tion 200 are all examples of racial fear
mongering helping perpetuate the racial divide . .
At the risk of being perceived as hopelessly
naive, I will say I truly believe film can help serve
as a bridge to empower us to cross over this
chasm. We are all products of our environments
and experiences. The truthful portrayal of those
environme nts and experiences can produce an
epiphany, a.moment of empathy, a second of .
transcendence that allows us the understanding
necessary to traverse this gulf.
There has· also· always been a concerted
effort by some filmmakers to get beneath the '
superficia l, vulgar and inaccurate images and
present a more realistic view of the African- .
American community. It is in the search and
discovery of truth that the artist creates art. It is
in this spirit that we offer you our selections this
month. Many of the films selected are by first
time directors. Many also are independent
features. The films come from different times and
different genres. We start with "Eve's Bayou," a
movie that film critic Andrew Sarris called "the
tinest African-American film ever produced."
"Foxy Brown" will be shown on the 14th with a
blaxploitation music dance to be held after the
movie is screened (come dressed in '70s gear). We
will also be showing "Killer of Sheep" a film the
Black Filmmakers Foundation recently voted the
best African-American film ever (I agree).
This month you can see laughter and tears.
Violence and tenderness. Joy and pain. Poverty
and despair. Eroticism and beauty. In short, the
entire kale idoscope of the human condition.
Enjoy.

Levy needs support
Remember to Vote! "Uh, vote for what?"
you may say. This Tuesday, Feb. 3, is Election Day
inmost ofThurston County, as well as elsewhere
in the state. Election Day for what? There's only
a single issue on the ballot: school Maintenance
& Operations (M&O) levies. Yawn ...
But wait! Like many seefTl ingly boring
topics, this is a real big deal when translated into
the lives of thousands of kids who go to our
,chools.
So, what is a Maintenance & Operations
levy? In Washington. schools are supposed to be
funded by the sta te, collectively by all the statc's
taxpayers. At some point in th e past, it was
realized that the 5tate wasn't paying the full cost
Dr the schools. Thus, local school districts were
perm itted to tax their own citizens to cover the
gap - and it's a pretty big gap.
How much money is involved? In Olympia,
the levy amounts to about $17.8 million over two
years - 17%of the total budget. The estimated
tax rate averages about $2.82 per $1000.
Remember- this replaces a similar rate that
voters approved two years ago. It is not in
addition to the current tax rate. Rates in other
districts are similar.
How does this money get spent? One of our

problems in explai ning this is that school budgets pretty high, and this is one of the few taxes that
aren't set up to explain this very well. Threeyears you get to vote on. For instance, the state prison

Last Sunday, I went to the CRC (College
Recreation Center) to play basketball and noticed
several large signs posted around the gym: "NO EF
STUDENTS ALLOWED IN GYM (other places
okay)." I asked several CRC employees why this was
so. They explained that an unidentified number of
EF (English as a Foreign language) students had
allegedly scuffed up the court with street shoes.
Thus, no EF students wae allowed in the gym.
Let me a(ticulate this statement. It implicitly
says that because someone from another country,
at Evergreen to learn English, probably scuffed up
our court, no one from another country who is here
to learn English may use our basketball court. This
is comparable to saying, that no graduate students
may use .the court since a graduate student
probably wore street shoes here, or that no one
from Zimbabwe may enter because Zimbabweans
tend to wear street shoes, and so on. Imagine going
to China or some other country and not being
allowed to play your sport of choice because
foreigners present to learn Chinese have been
deemed harmful to the facilities. The whole thing
is reminiscent of Deep South segregation, WWll
internment camps for Japanese, and an overall
"white::::o.k." formula.
.
The signs have been removed, and EF

The facade of integration
holiday of Dr. Martin Luther King's birthday, in
which the man and the memory are remembered
and cherished, the bliss ofintegration is indulged
in and diversity celebrated. We are reminded of
Dr. King~s dream in which he spoke ofa time when
the children of slaves and the children of slave
owners would be able to meet out of love and
mutual respect, all the while assuming that that
time has come. Consistent depiction of Black
people as criminals or Sambos in popular media
hardly seems like respect. If two parties are
coming together to playa respectful game of
po({er, yet one party holds all the cards, then who
do you think controls the game?
It's 1998 now and integration has
occurred ... legally. The new catch phrase is
"diversity," especially within the context of the
collective "American experience." Music that
White America once caU"jungle music," implying
savagery and backwardness as associated with
Africa, is now popularized openly and called
"American." Yet every form of popular music
today is in fact a Black expression, quite often
based upon the experiences of oppression and
racism. Apparently with diversity at hand, White
America feels comfortable enough to lay claim to
artistic expressions that only have to do with us
in the sense that they are reflective of our tyranny
and racial hegemony. Popular media is now
diverse because we can take the beautiful,
chocolate skinned goddess, put green contacts in
her eyes, dress her in next to nothing with her
titties spilling out for the world to see and that
plump African ass that was deemed unattractive
for White women uncovered and tempting. all for
the sake of fulfIlling White men's psycho-sexual
fantasies about Black women which has reigned
supreme for nearly 500 years, but now instead of
whoring... we'll call it multicultural. Who holds
the cards?
King's dream never became a reality, for the
integrated society we live in is a sham. Yes laws
were :passed and institutions desegregated, but
the reality is that racist oppression and genocidal

tactics continue to this day, only on a more
sophisticated level. If you disagree, ask some
people of color what they think. Start listening
to those groups of people who profess batred
towards White people and ask yourselves" why?"
Perhaps then we can start figuring out-what is real
and what isn·t. Look at our school system that
King fought so hard to integrate, where we are still
taught racist values in a Eurocentric curriculum,
despite the blend of skin tones. Who holds the
cards'!
In 1998, when two parties come together to
play poker, both parties have to bring their own
cards, otherwise we have a power distribution
problem. Many people today feel that the only
means to power is through a form of separation.
Not segregation but cultural separation for the
sake of defining themselves and controlling their
own destinies. White people seem to trip off the
concept of separation. claiming that such action
goes against everything that King fought for.
There is a difference between being told that you
can't go somewhere and choosing not to .
Separation is a people taking their own power into
their own hands, having the ability to go and be
anywhere they want but chOOSing to work things
out with themselves. How diverse and integrated
is a society when one culture dominates and forces
the others to assimilate? If I as a White man
surround myself with people of color who after
hundreds of years of subjugation have been
conditioned to think and act like myself, then how
diverse is that? But if different peoples utilize
their own experiences, indigenous cultures and
national identities to determine their own
destinies, develop their own values and thought
processes and then come together understanding
the differences ... that is diversity for we all hold
our own cards.

Shoe-Checking Procedure (For CRC employee
reference):
.
To check a pair of shoes to see if they are "courtready":
#1: Ask subject to reveal his or her shoes and show
shoe soles for your inspection .
# 2: If you doubt the integrity of shoes (absence of
popularly known basketball-consumerism
symbols, brand-names, styles, materials), ask
suspect to kick floor.
#3: Kneel on floor. Alternately, if you are short,
bend over.
#4: Examine floor carefully for signs of shoe-matter
transferred from shoe to floor. If there is shoematter present on floor, they may use the gym. If
there is no shoe-matter, repeat steps 1-4 for safety,
then admit them.

Cerebrus the mastermind

It is now over a week since the recognized

students are once more allowed into the gym.
Obviously someone, somewhere, realized how
incredibly stupid (and legally liable) this measure
was. So, my complaint is not that the measure is
still in force, but that it was ever conceived and
enacted in the first place. And while it did exist,
what did the CRC employees think as they were
enforcing an arguably segregationist rule? Most of
the staff who I questioned said something like, "I
don't know what it's all about, talk to Corey, but
basically some EF students scuffed up the court."
The man initially responSible for the anti-EF
measure is Corey Meador, CRC manager, who I
questioned on Wednesday about the nature of his
decision. The conversation went like this:
I: "Hi, are you Corey?"
Corey: "Yeah. D'yOll want a job?" (jabbing both
index fingers)
I: "Um ... no ... heh-"
Corey: "Okay; speak! I'm busy!"
I: "Yeah, I was wondering about the EF students
being banned from the gym."
Corey (previous attention obliterated): "Don't have
anything to say about that right now."
I: "Okay. I'm writing something for the Cooper
POintjournalthough, so I thought -" (Corey now
speaking with fellow office~person)

Dear Dr. C.
If you're such a genius, and you're some evil
mastermind or something, why haven't you taken
over the world yet?
Gillian, Montesano
Dear Gillian,
Jumping to conclusions, aren't we? Just
because I don't rule the world now, you assume I
never have. Is that right? Well, for your
information,l have conquered the earth some, oh,
three or four times now. Sure I'd usually lose it
because of complications or miscalculations or
plain old loss of interest, but mind you , I've done
it.
I can still remember my first time ... It was
1929 and I had successfully acquired a copyright
on the third dimension . That is, any group or
individual that transcended the y-axis, or

possessed depth , were subject to a copyright
infringement lawsuit by yours truly.
But individuals were small potatoes. I went
straight for the nations which, not only had their
land masses pass through the y-axis as the earth
rotated, but also constructed the cities upright,
allowed their citizens to stand erect, etc.
That had done it. Not only had I achieved
fiscal domination of the world economy, but had
godlike control over all access to many of the
properties of motion. That is, until some wiseacre
applied for a copyright on the first dimension.
Soon there were separate copyrights on the
first and second dimensions (yet another party had
attempted to acquire a copyright on the fourth
dimension, only to discover that the Swiss had held
it since 1902). Then, as higher mathematics began
to prove the existence of more and more
dimensions, there came a flurry of copyright
applications, and after the new dimensions had all
been claimed, an all new market opened lip on
"dimensional futures," so that scientists
discovering yet more dimensions became dismayed
to find they had already been claimed before the
fact.
As a result, aspiring world dictators engaged
in such an absurd volley of suits, countersuits and
appeals that by 1938 the copyright office
proclaimed dimensionality a natural resource.
Thus, my first term as the ruler of the earth
came to an end. It was fun while it lasted, sure, but
the loss wasn't altogether unwelcome as running
the world is actually a lot more hassle than it's really
worth.

about what the world would be like if all the

1909 to 1916, in which she expressed views that

event is co-sponsored by the Student Art
Council and SHAPE (Sexual Harass ment and
AssauIt.prevention and Education), the group
formerly known as the Rape Response
Coalition.
Mishler says the performance fits in with
one of the W.Re's missions this year, to clarity
the ambiguity of Women 's studies at
Evergreen. Because Evergreen doesn't have
formal department s and few consistently
offered classes, there isn 't much of a venue to
focus on Women 's studies. Those wanting to
study aspects of women's culture must wait for
a random class or create an individual contract.
Mishler hopes this performance will stimulate
a discussion about the issue. The WRC will
hold forums on Women's studies similarto the
one last week to continue the conversation.

on Women's Rights in the Late 19th Century,
focusing on the similarities and differences to

AS: So what did you think of that movie we
went to go see a few days ago?
UDCS: This is what I thought about the movie.
I th0l!ght that it wasn't as bad as I was afraid it
would be, but it wasn't as good as I hoped it
would be.
CS: (nodding) Me too!!
UDSC: 1. think the problem is that it started
with that slow song. The whole movie would
have been completely different ifit had started
with an upbeat song and had been played on
better theater speakers, like if it was at Lacey
instead of being at the mall.
GQ Ok, speaking as the person who thought
it was going to be better than Titanic, and was
kind of disappointed, I think it had a fewmore
problems then starting out with the wrong
song.
SC: You mean like how it wasn't funny?
CS: Yeah, I'd just like to say I totally agree with
you, UpSide Down Cow Spice. I went with my
friend, and the whole way to the theater we
kept talking about how we were going to get
up and dance in the aisles with all the 12-yearolds and then it started with that slow song and
it totally deflated us. And we never really
recovered from that.
UDCS: And I think that's what happened to the
movie. It took a long tim e for it to start go ing,
I mea n. it fin,llI y go t up to speed ..
CS: Lit erally speed, becaus\' they were on a bus .
SC: That was the 01.11y maybe good part in th e
whole movie.
AS: No, th ere were some oth er funny parts in
the movie. (Scrappy shakes her hea d in,
disagreement) No, tlwre really were.
GQ: Let me bring up another major flaw .
There were ten pages worth of cameos, and I
picked up about two.
AS: But if you got them, they were really funny.
I think most of the people who went to see the
movie didn't get them, like the little 12-yearold girls who were sitting next to me and
laughing really loud.
CS: [think maybe they put Elvis Costello in
there for all the babysitters who were forced to
take the kids to the film, so they would have
something to look at.
GQ I would have liked it more if! would have
gotten a pamphlet with a reference to British
pop culture. However, all I got was an "ADMIT
ONE" ticket.
AS: But parts of it were funny. Those parts
with Roger Moore were very funny.
GQS: Who's Roger Moore?
SC: Duh, he was James Bond.
GQ: Who's James Bond?
,

His fellow Spices tease and mock him for
several minute.~ .
USCS: But the movie was nice for a certain
segment of the crowd because you did get to
see Sporty Spice dressed up as Posh Spice,
which makes you realize that Sporty is in fact
the ultimate Spice Girl.
GQ Just for some Spice Girls triva, this is one
of the first times you ever get to see Sporty
Spice's legs, which, by the way, are quite nice.
Chief Spice omits a loud vomiting noise, and
her fellow Spices follow.
SC: Sporty Spice has got to be the least
attractive of them all.
CS: No, no, no. Sexy is.
UDCS: Clearly the most attractive has to be
either Scary, Baby, or Sporty Spice. Because
Posh dresses well, but she just has that blank
look on her face all the time.
GQ I definetely think Posh is the cutest, as
long as you don't look at her face or talk to her.
GQ is pelted with crumpled up leaflets by some
of the Spices.
There is a pause as Funny Spice enters the
room. After some salutations, he sits down and
joins in the debate
cs: Ok, I'd just like to talk about the wasted
use of the talents of Mark McKinney in this
movie. I /'nean, the guy was in The Kids In The

ever, and here he is in SpicelVorld.

It was, however, not great. In fact , the one
productive thing in the movie, you know how
there is always something good about any
movie, was that I will never get the Spice Girls
confused ever again. I had itllounded in my
head for an hour and a half. And you know. I
didn't like how they only played their songs
when they were lip syncing them. I mean, why
couldn't they have been background music in
a fun chase scene?

Speak to the angel that sparkles in the reflection,

stumble towards a new friendship that could
