The Evergreen Remediation project behind the library designates this soil to lounge in the
sun until the hydrocarbons evaporate.
Since July 1993, Facilities
has been working on a large
project
to
clean
some
contaminated soil found on
campus. It's called the
Underground Storage Tank Soil
Reclamation project. Hal Van
Gilder. who now does technical
support. started the project. Other
key players are Jill Lowe ,
coordinator of Environmental
Health and Safety; Don Hoveland,
who is the project lead; and Clint
Steele who is the Building
Maintenance supervisor.
The van pool and their gas
pumps are about a mile off .
campus and supply students and
faculty with not only a way to
travel. but 1Iiso the gas to get there.
In 1993, the school was to go
underground, and replace the old
single walled gas tanks with a new
double walled system that would
prevent leaks from occurring. It
would use a tank alarm system
that would go off whenever there
was any gas leaking. When the
project started to take place, it was
discovered that most of the soil
around the old tanks had been
contaminated due to gas leaks.
Once the soil was
discovered. there were several
options. Facilities had the option
of shipping the soil to Oregon,
where it would be stored as toxic
TESC Olympia. WA

Address Correction Requested
waste material. This option had
some downfalls, though, such as the
, cost of trucking soil to Oregon. Also,
if anything ever happened with that
soil that harmed someone or
something. the school would always
be held accountable. Steele says that
the "liability would remain with us
forever." something that the school
didn't necessarily want looming
OVer their heads. That option was
then quickly ruled out. Other
options would be to cook the toxins
out ofthe soil, or to farm the soil and
let the sun evaporate the
hydrocarbons. The school chose the
second option for many reasons. It
was less expensive. and more
importantly, it was something that
could be done to benefit the school.
The soil was moved to a field
behind the library off Driftwood
Road where the crew would work to
clean the soil. A large rubber liner
was put down to protect the
contamination from spreading and
the soil was placed in a six to seven
foot high mound. Slowly. Facilities
staff"rotatilled" the top eight inches
so that the sun could evaporate the
hydrocarbons. The soil would be
sent out regularly for testing; if it
came back dean it was then taken off
and moved. so the next layer could
be "cleaned."
The question now is what to do
with all this clean soil? For a while.
it was being stored behind the Child
Care Center, until Steele had a better
idea. Behind the Library is a field
occasionally used by students, incoming conferences. and Super
Saturday, among other things.
The field wasn't flat, and often
caused some problems with
setting up tables or stages. Clint's
idea was to terrace this field and
make it more "user friendly:" So
far. half of the field is done. Soil
from the Reclamation project has
been placed there, and top soil
and grass seed put on. Come
Super Saturday, the field should
be easier to use.
Cleaning the soil and
terracing a field are not free
however. The college has been
working out of a state fund that is
given for hazardous waste
cleanup. So far. the college has
spent around $100,000 to clean
the soil. According to Steele, that
is "more than anticipated," but it
is still a lot less than it could have
been. Both shipping the soil to be
stored and cooking it would have
cost far more then they've spent
so far, and the school has really
benefited.
So now that there is a use for
the reclaimed soil. when will the
project be finished? According to
Steele. everything should be
completed during the spring of
1998. Because the process needs
sun. it is a timely project. But
come June. when the sun is
shining. the maintenance crew
will be out there working to get
this four·year Efoject completed.

holding a full hearing. In a full
hearing, both sides can bring in
evidence and witness testimony to
support their cases.
Newman said there is a statute
that requires the board to make a
decision about whether or not
Savage should get his job back within
90 days after he filed his case. The 90
days are up on Nov. 22. But the date
the board set for the full hearing is
past Savage's 90 day statute. "We
have not agreed to an extension ,"
said Newman but they are allowing
the Dec. 1 and 2 hearing dates.
"We're having the hearing
under protest," said Newman. "We
reserve the right to litigate." But
Savage has decided to keep the Dec.
1 and 2 hearing date because filing a
complaint would make this case last
longer. Savage wants to get his job
back as soon as possible because he
has been denied unemployment
benefits and medical benefits.
"If the state is not together by
90 days, the individ.ual should be
reinstated." said Newman.
Both sides can appeal to the
state Superior Court if they are not
satisfied with the board's decision

Managing editor
The Personnel Appeals Board
will hold a full hearing on Dec. 1 and
2 to decide if former Evergreen
officer Larry Savage will get his job
back.
Savage took his case to the
board after he was fired from Police
Services this summer. He asked the
board to order Ev.ergreen to reinstate
him because he believes he was
wrongfully fired .
Savage believes he was fired
because since 1989 he has pushed to
make Campus Security ·a full police
. force with officers who·carry guns.
Steve Huntsberry, Evergreen's
chief of police, said in Savage's
.dismissal letter that Savage was fired
because of a pattern of dishonesty.
The board first heard the
arguments in this case at the
summary dismissal hearing on Oct.
20. Shawn Newman, who represents
Savage, and Lisa Sutton from the
Attorney general's office who
represents Evergreen, presented
their sides to the board. .
But the board decided they

Never-changing Deli food
Students lament at lack of choices

Monday, students get a Gobbler again ...
Now, imagine eating like this every day, every week, tor
the four years of college life.
"What choice do you have when you're all campus?" asked
LaRisa Sullivan, a third year student. "I get tired of seeing the
same stuff every day. It makes me want to throw up."
Inge Thomas, the deu manager for the past three yea rs,
says people who buy from the deli request particular food items
all the time, She says the deli tries to accommodate these
requests.
"We try to do a cycle so we don't have the sa me thing all
the time," Thomas explains. August, the year 2000, the college's
contract is up with its main food provider, Northwest Food
Servicrs.
Lily Sapphire, a third year student, says that she
complained that the potato and nacho bar isn 't available often
enough , She says that a deli employer told her that the potato
bar is only available every nine days. She says that when the nacho
and potato bars are available in the deli , they usually are all gone
by 2:00 p,m, She wants to see the nacho and potato bars available
more often at the deu.

In Spring of 1991, two Evergreen
students made a gift of this mural to the
college. It hangs on the wall as you enter
the CAB's third floor student activities
area through the doors to the left (by the
soda machine). The students had been
working on it at home in their garage and
realized that the space they had originally
planned for the project would not be
adequate.
The work is untitled and is
to all people who have
struggled. The students, Rani Keohanie
and Reuben Roqueni, signed their
initials, "R&R.» within the figure of a
heart (which appears to be a frequent
symbol in the mural),
c) Galvinized Stegosaurus plates
d) Molted metal peacock plumage

f) An early model for NBC's logo (for

EI Salvadorian speakers.to
discuss human rights issues
by Larry Mosqueda
Contributing writer
On Thursday, Nov. \3 at noon in the
Library Lobby there will be a lecture,
presentation, and discussion by political and
communit), organizers from El Salvador. The
spea kers are part of a nationwide tour
sponsored by the Committee in Solidarity with
the People ofEI Salvador (C1SPES), CISPES is
a 17-year-old orga ni zat ion which has
co nsistent ly worked in so lidarity with the
people and the FMLN of EI Sa lvado r
throughout the U,S. sponsored war against the
people of Central American the1980s,
The speakers are Marina Rios and David
Hernandez. Rios is a sweatshop labor
organizer wit h the major women's
organization, the Melida Anaya Montes
Women's Movemen t (MAM), and Hernandez
is a FMLN yo uth organizer. They will be
discussing how the FMLN is successfully
organizing women workers' in the maquilasweatshops and youth, including current and
former gang members, in the post-war period
of El Salvador.
The issue of exploitation of women
workers in the sweatshops around the world
Presidential elections of 1999 and the national
legislative elections of2000,
Rios and Hernandez will give our
communi ty an excellent opportunity
to hear first hand those who have been active
in the struggle for peace and justice. Both have
literally risked their life and limb for th eir
fellow countrymen,
Last year, there was a similar presentation
by a Salvadoran uni on organizer with the
telecommunication union and a sweatshop
worker. Four programs brought their students
(over 200 people attended) and all agreed that
it was a very educational and moving event,
The event will be co-spo nsored by severa l
student groups such as EPIC, LASO, MEChA
and others, as well as different academic
programs, (At the time of the writing of this
article, the final li st of imtitutional sponsors
had not yet been completed-final sponsors
will be acknowledged at the event.) The
presentation is free and opell to fhe public. For

and how youth can be effectively mobilized are
complex and difficult. Many people and
groups arou nd the world are concerned about
these issues and are attemp ting to assess how
to work most effectively to stop abuse . Because
of the years of struggle and organization of the
FMLN, some of the best work is being done in
El Sa lvador.
[n the early 1990s, U.S. ta x dollars built
several industrial parks in EI Salvador and
encouraged U.S, compa nies to relocate there,
Now about 40.000 women in El Sa lvador
assemble clothing for the U.S. market, with pay
of 56 cents an hour and often in subhuman
conditions. Rios will discuss new organizing
and conscious-raising models and also discuss
El Salvador's independent factory monitoring

Hernandez, 33 years old, is an elected
alternative legislative delegate for the FMLN,
The FMLN effectively utilized the youth in the
election s held this past March, where
significant gains were made ..
As many readers are probably aware, the
war in El Salvador ended about four years ago,
and the FMLN has successfully participated in
two elections since that time, They have a very

Students present San Tomas projects
by Patrick Piazza
Contributing writer
In 1979, the people of Nicaragua toppled
a US-backed dictatorship. If you know a little
about your history and the history of Latin
America, you will undoubtedly recall how the
US has sponsored many dictatorial regimes
that, despite their horrendous injustices, have
furthered our economic and political interests.
In response to Nicaragua's popularly led
revolution. the US, thr'ough Ronald Reagan,
launched a covert war to oust the Sandinista
government. Many people in the US believed
that the "Contra War" was unjust.
It was in this con text that a solidarity
organization was formed between a group or
Thurston County residents and residents of the
region in and around Santo Tomas, Nicaragua,
Peace activists from all over the US were
forming solidarity organizations in Nicaragua
during the 1980s. Many of them continue to
thrive to this day.
Two years ago, the Thurst on/ Santo
Tomas Sister County Association (TSTSCA)
sponsored five Evergreen students who
traveled abroad to li ve and work in Santo
Tomas. These students lived wit h host
families, worked in th e community, studied
advanced Spanish, and worked on selt~directed
projects. The program was quite successful
and another group made the trip in the spring
quarter of 1997, This spring, students from
TESC wi ll again have the rare opportunity to
make use of their studies doing advanced work
in this intimate and challenging program.
In the] 990s, the context for solidarity
work has changed. The Contra War ended with
the election of a US-backed opposition
candidate. Since then, Nicaragua has been the
subjec t of US-sty le "progress." This progress
has been characterized by "neo-liberal" reform
as demanded by the IMF and the World Bank.
Nicaragua is currentl), the second poorest
nation in the Western Hemisphere despite
eight years of "austerit y" measures ~nd neoliberal projects. Great opportuqi ties exist to
stud), first hand how the US government's
vision of development is working in rurall.atin
America. As the program includes a selfdirected component, it is possible to work in a
variety or focuses, Projects from the past have
involved issues of women's healt h, agricultural
studies, work in media (photography), creativt'
writing and ethnographic studies, Throughout
the month ofNowmber, orientation meetings
wi ll be held for anyone interested in traveling
to Santo Tomas this spring or in the future.
Members or the TSTSCA and students that
returned from the spring '97 program will
present slides and info rmation and answer any
questions. [f you are a student who is curren tly
studying Spanish or hal'e good Spanish
language ski lls, you should come hear about
this unique possibilitY.
The meeting times wi ll be: Thursday,

program is about. Also, don't mi ss till' Sa lsa /

Cooper Point Journal
by Paul Gallegos
Special Assistant to the President for Equal Opportunity
Nov, 11 is Veterans Day. For many of you the holiday might
typically go by without notice or particular attention. For almost
390 veterans at Evergreen, this holiday offers a time for pause and
reflection, I'm writing this to you in the hope that by sharing a bit
of what I reflect on during this time of year, you may be encouraged
to acknowledge the vets you know.
It's been 26 years since I was in Vietnam and in all those
years I have avoided telling war stories like the plague. [t never
felt right But the memories persist They seem to require sharing.
So I've decided to share on e with the hope that it will serve some
usefuI purpose for us.
In 1970 I worked as a medic in Vietnam. I witnessed much
that was tragic and much that was heroic. I don't remember the
time of day or even the time of year, but this is the memory I have
chosen to share:
I worked in something we called "the hole." The hole was a
line of metal sh ipping containers buried under six feet of earth.
The entrance to the hole was about three feet wide by six feet high ,
a doorway lined with heavy timbers. This was our field aid station ,
)[ provided protection from rockets and mortars , and allowed us
to do our medicnlll'ork in relative safety.
Fifteen hours a day ) staffed the rescue opera tion radins. At
one point) was working on the rescue of a team that was on the
re('eiving end of an ambush. The team leader's call was frantic. A
number of men were wounded, at leas t one gravely, and they were
receiving heavy fire from all directions, As ) spoke to the team
leader, I could hear automatic weapons fire over his screaming.
He was demanding immediate rescue . The most seriously
wounded soldier was losing-blood and couldn't survive long, From
the 5e('urity of the hole, [could sense the chaos and terror oftheir
situation .
This was clea rly an "K priority call-life-threatening injuries,
But our rescue helicopters didn't carry heavy weapons, and policy
required that a landing zone be secure before rescue would be
attempted. This zone was not secure. J had to deny the team
leader's request for immediate evacuation. Instead I requested gun
ships to the area. The idea was to kill or chase off the enemy, secure friend, his exhausted form crumpled to the dirt. As the medi[~
the landing zone as quickly as possible, and then effect the rescue, continued into the hole, I could see the young man on the stretcher
That didn't satisfy the team leader. His brothers were dying around was gray and lifeless. We quickly confirmed that there was nothing
him , and they needed blood immediately. Our communication more to do for him, set him aside and moved to others who might
be saved. The team leader rose from the dirt, exhausted. His efforts
was tense,
It was maybe 30 minutes before the rescue helicopter could to save his young friend had failed. The blood had been too quick

This experience of his caring and commitment for fellow

people struggling to survive. What grips my heart to this day and warriors is one of the memories I carry. It is part of what Veterans
what compels me to write about it 26 years later, is not the blood Day recalls and honors for me. I share it now in respect for the
and guts. What [replay in silent slow motion year after year is the many memories that are held by others and will go unspoken. .

Selling the
Final
Frontier
Sometime in the middle of the year 2000, a small
spacecraft will approach an asteroid orbiting near Earth.
The spacecraft, dubbed the Near Earth Asteroid
Prospector (NEAP) , will be carrying the standard
barrage of scientific instruments: a multiband camera .
a neutron spectrometer to detect the presence of water,
even an alpha proton x-ray spectrometer that would fall
to the surface of the asteroid and send back reports on
its composition. This spacecraft, however, will not be
managed by NASA, the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, nor
any foreign government. This spacecraft is owned and
operated by a Steamboat Springs, Colorado-based
company called SpaceDev. The data radioed from the
asteroid will be encrypted to prevent it from falling into
the hands of the COinpetitors and to prevent potential
customers from accessing it with out paying first.
The competitors, in this case, are NASA and the
Jet Propulsion Laboratory (the people who brought us
the Mars Rover) and the customers are scientists and
researchers. Whether this actually represents a
fundamental shift in the relationship between science
and business depends on who you talk to. Business has
had its hands in biotechnology and geology for more
than a decade and has recently been moving into less
immediately profitable sciences like environmental
science. Still, this is a new development for space science
and physics in general, and it is taking twists that have
not been previously seen in the other sciences.
Ideally, the society of science is governed by a
completely open exchange of information. Any research
that is published is done so completely: aJl of the data is
included along with all of the results. If there are any
weaknesses with the data or the results it is expected
that those are included as well. Failure to do so is
considered fraudulent. Business, on the other hand,
cannot operate this way-the only thing available to the
public is the result. The data is a trade secret, giving that
away would reduce the company's competitive edge.
Faults in the data and results are likewise often kept
hidden, as failure to do so would weaken public image.
It is here that SpaceDev is at a conflict of interest
with the sciences. Why would SpaceDev advertise the
faults in its data when doing so could tum potential
customers away? What would keep SpaceDev from
patching up its data to make it more attractive?
Certainly, it could not let the public review its
instruments and data, for that would be tantamount to
giving its product away for free! If a scientific agency does
purchase the data and produces significant results, how
can it hope to publish a complete article about the
research? If the data were included, then anyone reading
the article would then have free access to SpaceDev's
product, but failing to do so would make the research
suspect.
Assuming that these troubles are resolved by the
turn of the century (and this is a big assumption) and
NEAP makes its way to a near Earth asteroid, one issue
remains that is perhaps the most pressing of them all.
SpaceDev goes to this asteroid not just to collect
profitable data, but also to set a precedent. International
space treaties forbid sovereign nations or states from
claiming territory over celestial bodies, but says nothing
about whether individuals or corporations should be
allowed to do so. SpaceDev aims to test this omission by
claiming ownership of the asteroid. This is an issue which
must be handled with extreme care in order avert
abso lute di sas ter. As an example, there is nothing
currently in space law that would prevent a corporation
fro m claiming ownership over the sun ~nd attempting
to charge th e inhabitants of Earth for usage of its light. If
you think this is a ridiculous sit uation you are not alone,
hut d() not think that common se n ~e with prevail by itself.
Those interested in further information are
encouraged to look in the magazine Science, vo lume 277.

oft.en at this campus, the fear of negativity is assumed
before any interaction, often based on their negative
perceptions and stereotypes of ethnic communities in
relationship to their own choices, values, or mode of'
personal identification. The fact that they are more
comfortable with white people is not problematic for
me-it is the possibility that they are uncomfortabl e
associating with people of their own ethnicity. This is a
example of internalized racism.
As activists for social change, we focli s a lot of
attention on the racist att itudes and actions of th e
oppressors in our society. Often we overlook the unhealthy perspectives acquired by historically oppressed
people. Many et hni c people have lived most of their lives
in predominately white communities. It is normal for
ethnic people to be take on the norms and morals of
another culture based on their family's assimilation into
the mainstream. It is also true that many ethnic people
have been raised by whit!' families or non-e thnically .
identi~'ing parents, In both of these scenarios. theethriic
individual has had limited access to his culture of origin.
You would think that these individuals would embrace
the opportunity to meet people from their cultures or be
involved with ethnic-specinc activities instead ofavoiding
them.
To be effective at combatti ng racial bias and
privilege in our society, it is time that we look at
intenialize-d racism among people of color. There is a

Clothesline project
breaks the silence
Warning: This world contains events and people which
may be hazardous to your health.
Did you happen to see the Clothesline Project on
display last week in the Library Lobby? What did you
think?
One passerby asked, '·Don't you think it's a little
too angry to be displayed here?"' I will be the first to
admit that the Clothesline Project and what it represents
is not an easy issue to look at. However, in response to
the question posed, I must respond by saying: no, I do
not think it's too angry to display out in public.
The purpose of the Clothesline Project ;s to bear
witness and break the si lence that all too often
accompanies the violence in our lives. In the words of
Maxine Greene: "It remains a matter, for men and
women both, to establish a place for freedom in the
world of the given- and to do so in concern and with
care, so that what is indecent can be transformed and
what is unendurable may b.e overcome." It is only in
naming and recognizing our struggle that we may better
ou r reality. And so, I say, if you think this display is "too
angry," you're damn right it is! There is a message in
that anger. Take care to listen for what is being said.
Survivors have learned that Silence = Death. So
whether the message is speaking out about our
experiences with rape, domestic violence, homophobia,
racism, or classism; we need to create public spaces to
talk about and affect change with the violence which
hurts us, both personally and as a community.

Illusions
In response to Adrian Scott's "Look past the illusions"
which rail ill the October 23 issue:
Adrian,
I agree that The Evergreen State College presents
an "illusion" uf diversity in its brochures and statistical
claims to stu dents of color in the student body. I clisagree
that my friends have been won by my being Korean·
American. I further doubt that they truly and solely
regard me as their token Korean friend. I also agree that
owning privilege is a common denial , but I don't think
that friends associa te with me in an attempt to
accommodate that denial. This you may call this my own
denial of my heritage. You might even say that this stems
from my white parellt·~"colonizingand conditioning" of
me.
Let me tell you a story about illusions. I am Korean.
My parents are white. I ge t lTap for not bejng Korean
-a-
enough. I get crap for looking Asian. At this point
everyone who wants to tell me what I need to be for their
own angst filled view on race can go #*1# themselves.
The reality is, I am paying butt loads of money for my
ed ucation. I am not here to educate white people about
my culture, my struggles, or their resistance to white
privilege. Furthermore, this is not my responsibility.
There are other ways to be "minority" enough.
I refuse to see myself as a victim and hope that the
students of color groups on this campus do not look at
themselves in that way either. I think that your illusion
is white guilt. This avoidance of the current situation by
focusing on the past, diverts attention from the legacy
ofthe past. Stop see ing people of color as victims. Claim
privilege as being white, male, heterosexual, uppermiddle class, educated .. . Stop feeling guilty and move
on.
Sa rah Ashley
For the third year in a row, the Evergreen community
has had to endure the ignorant ravings of the local antiarmed Police Services factions. As an institute ofhjgher
learning and one recently voted th e number one liberal
arts school in the freaking country, why is it that I am
finding it harder and harder to not be bombarded with
ne.o -political gibberish of th e most repl!lsively
unresearched, invalid, neurotic, hysterical, and paranoid
nature all over campus? The general consensus seems to
be now that campus police services are partially armed,
they will start using students as target practice (not that
this is a terribly awful Darwinian solution to our problem)_
Last year, some idiots staged a mock arrest on
campus in which a student was shot in the process of
resisting arrest. And lest we not forget the new role model
ofcivil disobedience, the great Yuri Koslen , gained Ghancli
like status when he was forcefully thrown to the ground
for refusing to remove himself from his booted van,
(parked illegally behind the Library building) after being
informed that he was interfering with official business and
was then asked to move THREE TIMES. This yearwe have
the typical and predictable poster showing a riQt squad
with rifles raised. The caption underneath reads, "the
Evergreen of the future ... may we see your validated
student ID please?"
PEOPLE, GET A FUCKlNG GRIP!!! THIS IS NOT
THE THIRD REICHl!! This is probably the safest college
campus in the known world. An isolated little bubble in
which we aU live so quietly that problems which do not
exist must be created. The worst thing that could happen
to a student here is the possible confiscation ofone's casual
smoking paraphernalia or the loss of one's stash. I highly
recommend that anyone who thinks we've got it bad here,
now that TWO officers between the hours off> p,m. and 8
a.m. (arry TWO holstered pistols, go and see a couple of
movies. Start with "Welcome to Sarejevo" and if you can
stomach the entire documentary, move on to ·'Hitler's
Final Solution." I think that you will be pleasantly
surprisedto find outthatyou don't have a Goddamn thing
to complain about!!! I am so tempted to run naked onto
Red Square wearing my pink Nazi infantry helmet, armed
with a paint gun, firing at anyone who looks as though
they do not deserve to attend this institute or at those who
seem to be a threat to my sanity. The marked will represent
the frightfully high level of ignorance running rampant
here.
The most amusing thing about all this silliness is that
for every year thatthe board and the presidents office have
mentioned considered partial armament of Police
Services, a large group of students has, without fail. staged
useless protests on Red Square, without ever considering
the fact that this is the state capital and a protest on the
Capitol steps would be worlds more effective. Not only
that, but each time this has been brought to the attention
of the student body, there has been ample time to \ote or
petition against it, but time is so much more productively
spent sitting on your ass on Red Square with a placard
reading something typical like, "We don't want another
Kent State." (For those of you not familiar with that
incident, I suggest some Oliver Stone movies about the
Vietnam period in our history. This is much easier and
more entertaining than simple research.)
The office of the president has on numerous
occasions urged the student body to form a system of
student government. The sound of those two words said
in the same phrase are hideous enough to straighten out
one's dreads and might even give one the uncontrollable
urge to bathe with soap and hot water.

Review missed mark
I feel that it is my ~ivic duty to respond to]. Brina
Pitts' review of "A Life Less Ordinary." Since Pitts might
have taken his own advice and "had a drink or four"
before seeing this film and declaring it a "brillant
masterpiece, " I felt that submitting a different perspective
for the benefit of the readers of the Cooper Point Journal
might be appreciated,
The critics of "A Life Less Ordinary" found it to be
a mediocre to poor movie, not due to a lack of
sophistication on their part. Quite the opposite. The
"dumb-ass average American audience member" is not
to blame for the movie's dismal opening, as Pitts
speculated. Those citizens may be reading People
magazine, but a sixth grade reading level is still
considered literate by most standards. As a resulf,Tolks
can easily read from here to Georgia that the movie is
stale.
The disapppointment of this film is compounded
~ by the fact that director Danny Boyle has made two very
original and noteworthy films, "Shallow Grave" and
-,-
"Trainspotting," Both of these films employed excellent
screenplays, which is arguably the missing ingredient in
"A Life Less Orclinary." The tried motif of angels coming
down from heaven to help the everyday Joe can be found
in B-rnovie archives and cheesy television dramas starring
Michael Landon. This theme has been successfully played
out in Win Wender's films, "Wings of Desire" and "Far
Away, So Close." I'm afraid, however, that Danny Boyle
and writer John Hodge were not as triumphant with this
film .
Combine this overplayed theme with a cliched
Tarrentino style gun chic and a B-movie ending and
BINGO, you've got "A Life Less Ordinary." So unless
you're a blinded Ewan McGreggor fan like me, who would
probably go see "Anaconda II" ifhe was in it, do yourself
a favor and sit this one out. And if you are intersted in
that "hot" soundtrack that Pitts urged you to witness,
then use the money you saved to go out and buy the CD.

many people were there. I saw the Recital Hall
and the practice rooms. My mind was fi lled
with thoughts and expectations of the beautiful
musical and dance performances I would see.
To my dismay it is now November and the
building is often as quiet as it was on my first
visit.
Music- espec iall y jazz- is very
importa nt to me and my life. In my mind I
categorize many of my experiences with songs
and sounds. On a rainy days nothing could be
better than some Billy Holiday or some Sa rah
Vaughn. I listen to Miles and Coltrane and it
shows me how deep notes can come from th e
soul. Listening to Dizzy and Joe Henderson espeCially their Afro-Latino compositions, gets
me in touch with the way our diaspora
experiences (as people from Africa) is saturated
and inseparable from the music. To me. jazz is
more than just music and songs, it is a living
testament to the experiences of a people.
Each genre of jazz (as well as any other
American music form) no matter how modern ,
can be traced to the blues, hymns, and songs
of the Africa ns who we re brought to the
Caribbean and eventually to America as slaves.
The poly-rh ythmic components and
syncopation of jazz is of direct African descent
and is prrsent in the music of the Caribbean
and all of the Americas. Even more int eresting
10 me is the fact that the many changes and
movements of jazz and popular Black music
can be paralleled to the experi ences of Blacks

November 6, 1997
Sort of on the heels of the Cure's latest
album Wild Mood Swings, Robert Smith and
company have collected their singles from the
past ten years and placed them in one
beautiful, shining album ,
fittingly titled Galore.
Galore picks up
where Staring at the
Sea (the last
sing l es
co ll ec tion
chronicling the
years 19791987), taking
songs from the
spellbinding Kiss Me.
Kiss Me, Kiss Me, th e
swe lteringly fabulous
Disintegration,
th e
sketchy remi x album
Mixed Up. the bright
Wish, and last year's
apt ly named Wild
Mood Swings.
Whil e
Galore may not be as stunmng as Staring at
the Sea, it will probably end up being more
popular than its predecessor. Galore has songs
from the more recent albums that most
converted Curl' fans are familiar with. Classics
lik e "Just Like Heave n," "Love so ng" and
"Friday I'm in Love" will win out in consumers
minds over songs like "Play for Today" and
"Ot her Voices" on Staring at chI' Sea.
Hopefully, it will lead newly won over fans bal:k
to the roots of the band, back to some of its
best material.
The album begins with "Why Can't I Be
You?" from Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me, a song
featuring mntagious Robert Smith howls and
a rambuctious 80s horn section. Galore
continues past the flowing textures of "Catch"
to the Cure's most famous song "Just Like
Heaven." This song lies close to the hearts of
many a malcont en t who found the Cure
through the radio or were enticed by their
appearence at the 1988 MTV Video Music
Awards, as it was one of the first Cure songs to
break through to the more mainstream arenas
of availability. That, and it's just a damn good
song.
The remixed version of "Close to Me" is
the only shared song between the two singles
collections, bridging the gap between the
Cure's first and second decades . Its inclusion
on the collection seems unnecessary, Mixed
Up was only marginally good, and though
"Close to Me" was released as a single. it
probably shouldn't have been included. The
original verson "Close to Me" from The
Head on the Door is much better.
The singles from Wish are unfortunately
not the best on that album, but are still
incredibly effective songs. "High. " "A Letter to
Elise," and even the much ridiculed "Friday, I'm
in Love" prove they can hold their own against
singles like "Pictures of You." They don't sound
out of pl ace at all.
Unfortunately, the same can't be said for
the songs from Wild Mood Swings. With th e
exception of the swinging salsa sounds of "The
13th," the other three songs fall flat. "S trange
Attraction" somewhat sucks, as much as a
Cure song can; but even it has elements that
stick in your head.
The collection features one new song
called "Wrong Number," a psuedo- technostyle song that, though having not been
released. has climbed up the alternative singles
charts as of late . The song lacks th e
atmosphere and etheral vision of older Cure
songs like "In Between Days" and "Hot!! Hot!!
Hot!! ," but stiJi manages to rock and deliver a
slinky beat to boot. There is no news yet on
whether the song will be included on an
upcoming Cure album. Seeing how the Cure
usually take about four years in betwee n
albums. who knows how long it will be before
we see anything brand new from our goth
friends.
. I propose that the Cure just come up with
a best-of album that would include the really
good singles and other great songs and let all
of the Cure's songs come together in perfect
harmony.

Spice Watch
by Tak Kendrick
Vacuous, yet seemmgly mtellectual
As the hoards of people amassed on
Tuesday to purchase Spice World, the latest
release fro m The Spice Girls.
I noticed a grievous error in
the Cprs A&E section. For
the past coupl e of weeks. we
(under my leadership as
interim ed itor) had been
prll1tll1g Spice Watch '97 - a' weekly
countdown until the release of Spice World.
Evidently. I had become confused as to
who The Spice Girls were. Let me set the record
straight. The Spice Girls are not the greatest
band to walk the planet since The Beatles. In
fact, they are the anti-Beatles. They're music is
simply designed to bring in the money of the
unsuspecting ~asses of teenage girls.
I apologize for the mistake. Hopefully not
too many people went running for the music
stores last Tuesday like my roommate did.
