The Evergreen State College's official
logo, employed by the college for nearly
25 years, may be forced into retirement.
The President's office wants to know
from students, staff, faculty and alumni
whether Evergreen should adopt a new
"enhanced"logo or keep the old one, They
are conducting a survey to find out The
results will be forwarded to the Board of
Trustees, which will have the final say at a
future board meeting,
Both logos are similar, depicting a
tree, mountain and sun,
Evergreen's Public Relations
director, Mike Wark, thinks the new logo
is graphically stronger and. easier to
identify at a distance, People in his area
of the college refer to the logo as the
"enhanced tree logo,"
The new logo is already being used
in some Evergreen publications and has
been included as the main design element
on the special edition-Evergreen license
plates issued this year_ Wark said that the
college is undecided as to whether ~hey
When the Board of Trustees looks at
the two logos next month they will have a
lot to consider. "This issue has drawn a lot
of feedback compared to the other issues
we've dealt with," says Wark.
Dian McKernan of the Pres ident's
office says even though the survey isn't due
until April 21, close to 200 have been
turned in,
The new logo is the same drawing
incorporated into the college's 25th
anniversary logo , The drawing wa s
donated to the college by Evergreen
alumnus Tim Girvin , son of Board of
Trustees member Lila Girvin , Lila says she
will not vote on which logo will be official.
Tim owns a Seattle-based design firm
which ha s don e work on logos for
co mpanies like Seattle's Best Coffee,
Nintendo and several Hollywood movies
including "Jurassic Park."
The old logo ha s be en used at
Eve rgreen since 1973 , but it was not

human sexu~ lity, will be presenting a lecture
on Thursday. April 17th and two workshops
on April 18th. She will address the topic of
sexuality by incorporating a diverse, cross·

Dr. Frayser shows how different cultures
interpret th e same sexua l behaviors in
different ways. She will demonstrat e the

Through a presentation of examples from

individual thoughts, assumptions, and beliefs
about our sexua lit y. Dr. Frayser's visit to

.From the Ground Up: A radical activist conference at Evergreen
By Chris Dixon
Contributing Writer
Faced with the inequalities, the
injustices, and the overall oppression in the
society that we live in, many of us look to new
visions of how we could live, work, and relate
with each another. However, creating a new
society requires more than a vision; it also
requires working collectively to bring that
vision to reality. With the hope of developing
both a vision andrealistic means for realizing
that visipn, Evergreen and other Olympiaarea activists have been meeting regularly
since last November to organize From the
Ground Up, a regional social justice activist
skills-building conference to be held on the
TESC campus from May 9 to 11th. From the
Ground Up is aimed at creating,
maintaining, and fostering active social
change . The conference organizers have
planned it with the following goals in mind:
• To strengthen and enrich already existing
activist work and spark new and creative
movement.
e To help activ ists be more effective
organizers with specific ski ll s training
worksh ops.
e
To ini ti a te new concrete projects
.
organized by participants.
From the Ground Up will bring
together 300 activists to focus on skills-
building workshops, long term project
working groups, and panel discussions
which will all be supplemented with films,
music, and informal networking.
The workshop sessions are a time for
participants to learn from each other as well
as benefit from the experience of seasoned
activist facilitators from throughout the
Northwest. Workshops will center on skills
that can be applied broadly to many
struggles as opposed to those that are issue
specific. These workshops will facilitate skills
sharing in such a way that participants can
bring those skills back to their own groups
and communities. Proposed workshops
include: . Nonviolent Direct Action,
Facilitation and Consensus, Radical Puppets
for Protests, Videography, Zines, Labor
Organizing/Solidarity, Radio, Legal Skills,
Student Organizing, Street Theater, Using
Mass Media, Deschooling, and Desktop
Publishing.
Project working group!> are
opportunities for attending activists to start
to work on and coordinate long term region
wide projects, such as a Network of Activist
Skills Trainers, a Northwest ActivistJournal,
and Local Activist Fairs. There will also be
space for conference participants to
formulate and begin working on their own
project ideas.
Panel discussions will feature
experienced activists sharing broad analysis
and inspiration from multiple perspectives.
Proposed panel discussion topics:
International Solidarity, Deschooling/Kid
Liberation, Starting Collectives, and Health
Care Cooperatives.
From the Ground Up will foster strong
opposition and alternatives to the current
society. We hope this conference will be a
renewal. an inspiration, and that it will
cultivate creative and enjoyable forms of
activism. Above all, we want it to encourage
everyone of us to be more ambitious,
reflective, and visionary about the work that
we are currently doing.
Students paint Bread and
Roses family shelter
By Liz Rupp & Marie Sackett

Evergreen students and community
volunteers are getting an early start this
upcoming Saturday on the 12th annual
Hunger Clean-up. The Hunger Clean-up is an
annual day of community servicf' where
students and community members can work
at a local shelter, as well as raise money for local
shelters. This year, the event will be taking
place at Bread and Roses Family Shelter. The
group will be painting most of the inside of
the shelter. "We work to do jobs within shelters
which normally cost too much money , arid
area that are helpful to people, and more •many non-profits don't have the money to pay
leisurely activities such as basket making. We for workers," said Liz Rupp, an Evergreen

might include stalking each other or listening
to the birds, as what they can speak volumes
about what is happening around you.
For the 'Spring Quarter, the workshopstyle meetings will be focused on making tea
using plants found on the Evergreen campus.
Sound easy or ridiculous? Well, each meeting
will be centered on a different step in the
process. Meetings will include' making fire
with friction using bow drills, building fires,
using fire to create and shape tools made of
wood, and going on a walk to discover the
edible plants found on campus. These skills
will finally all be brought together to make a
cup of tea more delicious than anything ever
made by Lipton or Stash.
If these meetings sound like a good time
or just good things to know how to do, come
to a meeting. If you can't make it, calland leave

meetings are free and open to anybody. Maybe

WAG:Living with the earth
By Paul Houghtaling
Wilderness Awareness Group .
You are lying on your belly in the center
of a field. Slowly barely perceptibly your arms
creep forward and you pull yourself a few
inches closer. Closer to what?
Twenty minutes ago you had spied two
deer bro'Hsing along the far edge of the field.
Since they hadn't yet noticed you, it seemed as
though it would be fun to test yourself to see
how close to them you could get. You are now
only ten feet away and can see how thin they
have become from a harsh winter. The rapid
alarm chatter of a winter wren grabs your
attention, and the attention of the deer. They
begin to slowly step away from you into denser
cover where they continue to feed keeping one
eye out for the source of the wren's distress.
Sure enough, the corner of your eye catches the
strolling gait of somebody walking past. The
deer cease feeding and walk gingerly into the
forest, unnoticed.
This is the type of experience that is often
hoped for at Evergreen's Wilderness Awareness
Group. WAG is a group that is dedicated to
natural history and practicing the skills of
living with the earth, popularly' called
aboriginal living skills. These include the skills
of building a shelter with forest materials,
making fire by friction, discussing plants of the
Clean-up.
"This will be a great opportunity for
students and staff from Evergreen to get out
into the community and do something to
address the problem of hunger and
homelessness." said Liz. "The Hunger Cleanup is a very visible way for students to get
involved with their local community and make
an impact. "
The group hopes that student s and staff
from Evergreen ca n take part of their Saturday
morning or afternoon, come to Bread and
Roses Family Shelter, and help out a bit.
Everyone is welcome, and please bring a paint
brush when you come! For more information
please call WashPIRG at 866-6000 ~x605.8.

reform
To the Editor:
Are consumers entitled to know the real
living conditions of animals that produce food
and clothing in our state? The answer may
surprise you.
For example, Norway recently ruled that
the producers of animal products cannot
misrepresent the living conditions of those
animals. Our country, however, has no such
law. As a result, marketers of farm products
arefrt'e to depict smiling, happy animals, even
if the animals live in horrific conditions.
Of course, the problem is not just
deceptive advertising of farm products.
Modern agribusiness has turned animals into
machines. The most thorough look at this
industry is a book called Animal Factories
(1990). Researchers Jim Mason and Peter
Singer found tormented veal calves barely
alive in tiny crates; laying hens jammed
together{our and five to a cage; and sows
inseminated in a device sometimes referred to
as a "rape rack."
Fortunately, we've made some progress
in the 1990s. Public awareness of these
problems has improved a bit. But for every
issue that has come to the public's attention,
like the situation with veal calves, there are
dozens of other issues that the public and the
news media don't even know about.
Agribusiness won't change un til
consumers demand it. I've made my
statement by becoming a vegetarian. The
American people at least ought to be allowed
to make their own decisions with accurate
information .

the stage: in another scene their movement is ,
gracefully synchronized, almost like ballet, as
they represent the fluid rocking of the sea.
Their tone may be ironic, satirical, gently
vicious, or gleeful and childlike. In E1 Dorado

Buffoons are much like children,

travel through the audience, sniffing out
human weaknesses and triumphantly
disclosing them: like a sophisticated Easter egg

Maybe it's my youth or my cartoon·

Simpsons is the best damn show in the history
of television. In its eight years of existence it
has probably made me laugh out loud several
thousand times. I don't know how many
normal sitcoms have come and gone since
1989, but none of them have consistently
blindsided me with comedic genius like Conan
O'Brien, Greg Daniels, Brent Forrester and all
of the other great writers on The Simpsons
have. Likewise, there hasn't been a show (or

personal favorite is "The Amendment Song,"
a School House Rock parody that
simultaneously makes fun of "Generation X"

Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie is the best sort of theatrical crap
by Bryan Frankenseuss Theiss
CPJ Arts and Entertainment Hack
"They've got a power and a force thatyou've never
seen before / They've got the ability to morph
and to el'en up the score / No one can ever take
them down / The power lies on their side" Mighty Morphin Power Rangers original theme
If you're looking for a completely unique
theater experience the likes of which will never
be seen for decades, then perhaps what you are
looking for is Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie.
This is the funnest, the funniest, th e most adeptly
inept film currently showing in theaters.
As the title implies, Turbo is the second
theatrical feature based on the wildly popular and
bizarrely incompetent children's martial arts
fantasy TV show Mighty Morphin Power
Rangers (now known as Power Rangers Zeo ).
Unlike th e first film , which tried for semirespectability using CGI ·robots. one established
actor and musicians ranging from Devo to Van
Halen , Turbo stays very faithfu l to the feel of the
show. The computer animation in the first movie
was unconvincing, so they've come to their senses
and gone back to models and costumes like the
ones in the Japanese stock foo tage they use on
the show. They've also stuck most ly with Power
Rangers veterans behind the scenes. including
the show's co-crea tor Shuki Levy, who acts as codirector. co-writer and composer (a la Prince). All
of this shows in the fini shed product: you have
probably never seen this style of crappiness on
the big screen. And I don't mean that negalively.
The story begins beautifully with a kindly
al ien wizard named Lerigot (who looks a lot like
the one in the Masters of the Universe movie)
ge tting chased around. warp ing to earth and
lwing nursed to health by a bunch of monkevs. II
turns our :hat an ev il space pirate vill ainess
named Divatox is trying to steal Lerigot's magical
key so that she can unleash her demon fiancee
from a volcano and use his power to take over
the galaxy.
The Power Rangers would be glad to stop
Divatox 's plan but their disembodied head
Zordon tells them that their Megazord giant
robot is not powerful enough for the task. So they
invent a new advanced technology called "Turbo"
which is basically a bunch of cars that drive really
fast and then connect into "the most powerful
Zord ever."
Naturally, they put the cars onto a haunted
pirate ship and sail offtoa magical island, hoping
they can save the world and get home in time to
win the karate tournament so they have enough
money to save the children 's center from being
shut down.
"
If that plot summary doesn't hook you in
then chances are you don't have a soul. But in A
Power Rangers Movie, the plot isn't as important
as the exec ution . Shuki Levy and She ll
Danielson's uniquely terrible script takes a bad
story and turns it to gold. Using the skeleton of
the lava monster plot, they manage to throw in
little gems like a snake . a cliff, a ripoff of the Star
Wars opening, a bus full of kids singing "Row.
Row, Row Your Boat," some dangerous rapids, a
kid in an ad ult body, an adorable alien baby. a
miraculous healing, bad slapstick at a baseball
game. even a cameo by origina l Power Rangers
villainess Rita Repulsa . It's every bit as senseless
a nd disjointed as box office sma shes like
Independence Day but wi thout being cowardly
