By SHEllY BAIN

The Chinese New Year is a holiday that welcomes the
new year and celebrates the ending of winter. The date of
the New Year varies because the Chinese people use a
different calendar than westerners. The western calendar
is based on the movement of the earth around the sun and
the Chinese calendar based on the movement of the moon
around the sun. The Chinese calendar has only 354 days in
a year. but still has 12 months. The New Year starts on the
second new moon after the winter solstice. It usually falls
between Jan . 21 and Feb. 19. This year the Chinese New
Year is Feb. 7. which is the Year 4695 on the traditional lunar
calendar. The Chinese calendar marks the years in a twelve
year cycle. naming each of them after the animals Rat. Ox.
Tiger. Hare, Dragon, Snake, Horse. Sheep, Monkey, Rooster, '
Dog and Boar. The coming new year is the "Year of the Ox"
In China the ox symbolizes the spirit of diligence, ofworking
hard to realize aims and lofty ambitions.
The Origin of the Chinese New Year
The Chinese New Year is also known as the Spring
Festiv~. !h~?rigin of~he festival is t?O 01 d to be traced,
but legend 'says that the monster Nlan would prey on
people the night before the beginning of the new year.
The word Nian in modern Chinese means "year."
According to the legend, Nian had a very big mouth and
could swallow many people with one bite. The people
were scared of Nian, One day an old man came and
offered to defeat Nian. He said to Nian, "I hear you are
very capable, but can you swallow the other beasts of prey
on earth instead of people who are by no means your
worthy opponents?" So, Nian swallowed the beasts of
prey on earth that harassed the people and their anima ls,
After that, the old man disappeared riding the beast
Nian. The old man turned out to be an immortal god.
When Ni"n had gone and other beasts of prey had been
scared into forests, the people be-gan to enjoy their
peaceful life. Before the old man left. he told people to
put red paper decorations on their windows and doors
at each yea r's end to scare away Nian in case it sneaked
back again, because red is the color the beast feared the
most.
Traditions of the Chinese New Year
Even though the climax of the Chinese New Year, Nian.
lasts only two or three days including New Year's eve, the
new year season extends from the middle of the twelfth
month of the previous year to the middle of the first month
of the new year. Many Chinese people celebrate their
birthdays at this time, regardless ofwhen they were actually
born. In China. school-aged children also enjoy a winter
vacation throughout the celebration. Before the new year,
families clean their houses thoroughly. The cleaning and
sweeping out of dust symboli zes getting rid of bad luck so
that good luck and prosperity may enter their homes. People
also paint their doors and windows red, or decorate them
with red paper-cuts and couplets. Celebrations center on
the theme of increased luck and prosperity for the coming
year.
The eve of the new year is observed with a large feast.
One of the most popular dishes for the feast is jiaozi,
dumplings boiled in water. jiaozi in Chinese means "sleep
together and have sons." The Chinese people also eat small
rice cakes called nian gao which means "yearly growth." The
nian gao is supposed to make the children grow physically

Evergreen lands two basketball recruits
By TREVOR PYLE
The Evergreen State College's men's
basketball team has landed two recruits.
Adam Normoyle, a 6''5'', 180-lb. forward,
and Aaron Foy, a 5'9", ISS-lb. guard, are attending
classes here at Evergreen, Both Normoyle, a
transfer from South Puget Sound Community
College (SPSCC), and Fay, who transferred from
Tacoma Community College, have signed nonbinding letters of intent with the college.
These letters don't guarantee Foy or
Normoyle a place on the team, nor does it
prevent them from being recruited by other
colleges.

Police Actions Undermine Safety
LEnER~

On Dec. 11, our fellow student Yuri Koslen fell victim to a
huge problem- a problem, that in my mind is police brutality.
Evergreen police officer Huntsberry severely abused his power as a
person who has a great deal of authority in our community. Last
year's decision to arm the Evergreen police disturbs me greatly and
now I fear the people who are supposed to be there to protect me.
lt is odd how an institution called Police Services can create such
worry for myself and my fellow students. I no longer feel safe on
this campus knOwing that someone who abused a friend of mine
is going to be carrying a gun. I think that the students should
demand an end to the arming of "security" and reclaim their right
to a campus where they can again feel safe,
I also want to say a few words to the people of power at this

sarety? The proceedings that in no real way can be called a fair
dialogue last year as to the arming of public safety are far from
over. I remember that many of my fellow students felt mass unrest
at the decision to arm the police - traffic was blocked to the main
campus entrance and then an angry march to the bureaucrats
offices in the library building was held but was anything truly done

grievously violated last weeK by the very people entrusted with
their protection. This action against Yuri last December was
an assault on our entire community, to the trust that we have
held in our campus security force, and the faith that they will
protect our safety. For our college to continue growing as an
academic institution and a supportive community, we need a
police force capable of mediation and constructive negotiation,
one that will not resort to indiscriminate violence when given
the chance.
Nothing short of the dismissal or resignation of these
offending officers is acceptable in rectifying this situation.
Violence is never right option in solving disputes, and in this
confrontation, officers Savage and Huntsberry clearly
overstepped their bounds. I ask for their immediate dismissal
from our college and community.

To Three White Women...

LEITER"

Multi-culturalism is a crock of shit when
you have to go out looking for people of color
in order to answer your questions. I was
approached a while back by three white
women who needed women 'of color for a
project. They stated that they were doing
something on multi-culturalism and needed
some women of color. "Needed some women
of color?" I thougll[ I, along with my sisters,
declined. Sometime
later, I inguiredabout
the project and was
told, "it's a project
that you women of
color didn't want to
be a part ofl" You
three white women
laughed an.d ,smirked
atme.
I think that the
Evergreen
State
College has the right
to know that this
commentary is about
three white women.
It is not about all white women at Evergreen
but about three white students. This article is
not about the many beautiful and supportive
white women at Evergreen wllo have been
friends to me and women ofcolor alike. I think
that this commentary should make these
women look at what they are really saying
when they direct their attention to multiculturalism and when they openly offend a
woman of color like me.
I did not feel comfortable or
acknowledged i~ a piece of work that was
somehow supposed to represent me. Maybe
these three white women should think about
what country they live in, what privileges they
have, what freedoms they have . And they
should think about what a shaqle it is that they
had to go to a group of women of color to ask
. for help. They should be aware that they lived
their lives in the U.S. and have no women of
color that they could go to as friends. They
know of no women of color tha't they could
comfortably confront. Maybe they should
think about we women of color before they
assume what they do not know. Maybe'they
should thinkaboutwhat they are doing before
they ridicule and openly offend a woman of
color for the same reason that we do not trust
them. May be they should think I

Obviously these three young white
women spoke a language that was far too
sophisticated for my well being. I am in some
what of a more disadvantaged place because I
missed out on your project. That we women
of color would not participate in your
defragmentization ofourselves, Thatwe would
not once again let you distort our faces and
selves into an ethnic sense of humor. Fuck thatl
Next time you decide to
represent yourselves to
women of color, next
time you decide to ask
women of color to
'become involved in a
project on multiculturalism, think
about what you arAe
really asking for
because, in honesty, if
your are saying that
you do not know any
women of color
personally, that you do
not know any Black,
Latino, Asian, Indian, Native American women
then maybe you should think about doing a
project on the fact that you don't know about
multi-culturalism. Maybe you should think
about all ofthe projects thatwe women ofcolor
agreed to be a part of and how We got fucked .
Maybe you should think about all of the
projects that women of color have been
"allowed" to be a part of and how we have been
taken advantage of.
I find it very funny that there are people
in this country, in this state, in this school who
do not know any women of color person<\lly. I
find it funny that some Americans have such a
hard time meeting people ofcolor even though
the U.S. has been built and created by a vast
majority of other cultures. It truly is strange
that a country whose people do not consist
only of white Europeans, a country help
founded by people of color, can't even tlnd
women of color to talk to. Frankly I find it
pathetic that these three white women laugh
and smirk at me. [find it pathetic that they
judge me because I decided not to participate
in their project about multi-culturalism, That
I missed out once again because I didn't wallt
to participate in their little circus, ..

I find it very funny
that there are
people in this
country, in this state,
in this school who
do not know any
women of color

Evergreen Has Rules for a Reason
LETTER~

I've never quite understood why so
many people think that Evergreen sits in a
protected little balloon, shaded by peace and
love, away from the outside world ... the real
world, There are rules in the real world. As
silly as some of them may seem and may be,
they're still there and some at-them can be
lived with quite more reasonably so than
others. I am against the laws surrounding
marijuana. I've never given much thought
to parking rules and regulations. Ifyou drive
a car, you will encounter a parking meter or
no parking zone every once in a while. You
drop a coin or two in the meter and your
worries arewash~d away. At Evergreen, there
are two ways to dea l with STUDENT
PARKING, one is to buy a seasonal sticker,
with the designated lot affixed to it, or pay
your dolJa(-a-day to park in either Aor Blot.
Seems pretty darn simple to me. One dollar
for a whole day of parking! They're
practically giving it away when it costs six. to
10 dollars a day to park in Seattle lots that
most of the time are not monitored by
security.
The way I've come to understand any
other parking area is that, if they're not a
lettered lot ( A,B,C, etc. ) then they are
reserved lbr other purposes and peoples.

Loading and unloading zones are not to be
utilized for the unloading ofyour body from
the car and subsequent loading of it back
into the car after you're done scrambling to
finish your presentation for the quarter at
the last second. And this business about all
cops being out to use Greeners for target
practice ( although not an entirely bad idea
for some) is paranoid buUshit. You watch
too much TV. It's no wonder the community
surrounding Evergreen has such a bad
opinion about its students; they, for the
most part, treat anyone who doesn't agree
with their views on life like a witch would've
been treated in Salem Mass. in the mid
1800's. Perfectly ironic for an alternative
LIBERAL arts school. Grow up and quit
whining. They [TESC police] may have been
a little too rough with you but, a) you were
illegally parked, b) you knew you were
illegally parked, c) you knew you had a large
accumulation of tickets, and d) you
interfered in the completion of an official
action. If you had joined the 20th century
and had a check book or ATM card with you,
all this unpleasantness could've been
avoided.
-Chris Gray

The long winded explanation of the
booting ofYuri Koslen's car, by The Cooper
Point Journal's Editor-in-Chief David
Scheer, is the shoddiest story so far this year
in the CPJ, It was written in a very gray area
of jQurnalism. Published on page one, it
looked at first glance like a news story. One
didn't need to read far to find many signs
of slanted editorializing. So eloquently
written, it carefully side stepped the real ·
story_ Should Evergreen really have an
untrained police force with guns? Throwing
a person to the ground and pulling his or
her hair is nbt how a parking ticket violation
needs to be handled. Yes, that might be how

The lot of a CPJ editor:
J.\tlonday 4:30 pm: Intense anxiety.

A group of students have chained themselves
together on Red Square and you can't find anyone willing to find out what's going on and write
about it.

Tuesday 3 pm: Intense debacle.

The CPJ receives three letters. The first, from a
community member, denies that the Holocost took place. The second letter criticizes Registration and Records but its author wants to remain anonymous. The third letter accuses a community member of a crime with which they have not been formally charged. What to do?

Wednesday 5 pm: Intense deliberation.

Three IO-inch stories do not fit in one
15-inchspace. Do you cut a story, start over on layout, or try to slide by with 6-point font?

Thursday noon: Intense debate.

Should the CPJ have used that word in that headline? Could that comic be read two ways, should you call the cartoonist?

Friday 3 pm: Intense attempts to explain... why in the world you decided what
you did on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday.

You gotta love it.

CPJ Lovelines Multiple Choice Test #37:
one of these things is NOT a bad
If you circled "0," you are a sensitive, caring human tieing with a
lot of love for the world and all of the people on it. If you didn't,
you are a psychopathic lunatic who should be locked up before
you go on a massive killing spree. Either way, you are a person
of strong emotions, and you should channel those feelings with a
CPJ Loveline.
The Cooper Point Journal will have highly trained staff people
waiting to take your Loveline order in the CAB today, Friday, and
Monday between the hours of 11 :30 AM and 2:00 PM. Then look
for your 30 word message of love or despair in the CPJ on
Thursday the 13th. If you have any questions, contact the
Business Manager at the CPJ.

The Velvet Underground's last album,
Loaded, is a controversial masterpiece of
longing, subversion, and power pop. On Feb.
18, Loaded will be reissued by Rhino Records
on a two compact disc set, including demos,
outtakes, and alternate versions and mixes of
songs on the album.
Recorded during the spring and
summer of 1970, Loaded coincided with the
difficult final days of the Velvet Underground.
In fact, Lou Reed, the band's leader and
princ-iple singer imd songwriter, left the band
before the record could be mixed or
sequenced. Since the record's release in
September of the same year, Reed has
complained about it. He was outraged that
two of the album's best songs, "Sweet Jane~
and "New Age" had entire sections edited
from them for final release.
In addition to these issues, Maureen
Tucker, the band's brilliant minimalist
drummer, does not even appear on the
album. Bassist Doug Yule, the great but
unwitting figure in the band 's demise,
brought in his brother Billy to temporarily
replace the pregnant Tucker. Doug Yule's
prominence in the band during the recording
of Loaded is also a source of controversy
among Velvet Underground fans.
Both "Sweet Jane" and "New Age" are
featured in their unedited versions on the new

release (as they are on 1995's 'mandatory
purchase' boxed set Peel Slowly and See) and
both the album and the extra tracks have been
remastered by Reed and engineer Bob
Ludwig. Luckily, the new set does not rely too
heavily on the Loaded-era tracks recently
released on the boxed set, but rather reaches
further into the vault to reward the world with
even more treasures.
In addition to demos, early takes, and
alternate studio versions of songs later
released on the album, the new project will
include songs that Reed included on his solo
albums, but which he debuted with the band.
Perhaps the most interesting inclusion the
previously unheard "Love Makes You Feel Ten
Feet Tall."
Also of note is a Loaded era version of
'Tm Sticking With You," a song the Velvet
Underground originally recorded in 1969
with drummer Maureen Tucker on vocals and
left unreleased until 1985's VU. The song is
so perfectly suited fot Maureen 's squeaky,
out-of-tune little girl voice, that it is nearly
impossible to imagine anyone else singing it.
[n spite of Loaded's ragged reputation
among Velvet Underground fans, it stands
true as one of the few definitive rock and roll
records of the last 40 years. It is wonderful to
see that it is finally being recognized with a
reissue that does it justice.

ARTS AND ENTJ!lRTAINMENT

From punk rock trash to movie star class
an intellectual and historical (ouT-tney Love/Madonna debate
By BRYAN O'KEEFE
Courtney Love !mows the way to moviestar respectability better than Dionne
Warwick knows the way to San Jose.
Here's how to turn into a facsimile of
Princess Diana, circa 1983. First, agree to an
interview with Barbara Walters. Second,
appear in cameo parts in independent
movies. Third, show up nextto Elton John in
a photograph wearing a long black gown and
expensive jewelry. Fourth, and most
importantly, smUe.
This is a long way from the babyclothes clad apparition badly in need of a bib
who prompted Julian Cope to remark, "Save
us from Nancy Spungen fixated a-holes
who cling to our greatest rock groups and
suck Ol~t their brains.»
The past year has witnessed the
transformation ofCourtney Love from white
trash icon to movie star. Not since Cher in
the early 80s has a pop star so quickly and
unexpectedly climbed the silvery ladder to
movie stardom. After all, Cher and her
gnomish husband Sonny Bono were already
firmly entrenched in Hollywood schmoo.ze
during the early 1980s, even though both
were considered hasbeens - - - ten years
ela'psed between Cher's last big hit "Dark
Lady" and her debut in Silkwood as Meryl
Streep's sweatpants-wearing co-worker.
AccordiJ,lg to legend, at the industry premiere
of Silkwood, bigwigs laughed when her name
flashed onto the screen during the opening
credits. But they applauded when her name
appeared during the closing credits. ;hus,
with the swiftness of President Clinton
consuming a Filet-o-Fish, Cher became a
movie star on her way to artificial sweetener
commercials.

From 1983 to 1997, Cher
to Courtney -Love. Indeed,
there has been a similar
response (of surprise and
forgiveness) to Courtney Love
in The People vs. Larry Flyntas
to Cher in her breakthrough
film . One of the trashy pop- .itJI"8-__'~."
culture highlights of the past
few months was the moment
at the Golden Globe awards --.. --.,..... ~
when both Courtney Love and
Madonna were nominated
(alas, in separate categories)
for acting awards. The main
reason to watch awards shows
has always been the surreal
celebrity interactions (Rob
Lowe and Snow White,
anyone?) but this time we were
not treated to a single shot of
Courtney and Madonna in the
same frame, because a wise
party planner situated the two
in different corners of the
auditorium. Safety first, I
know, but what a missed
opportunity of overwhelming
proportions. Madonna allegedly hoped to sign keeps me from believing that Courtney Love
Hole for her Maverick label sometime during and Madonna are the same person, or related
the early 90s, and the two sat down for a long by some cosmic phenomenon, or separated at
in-depth chat, but the circumstances behind birth. Both women are brash and define
their meeting have been sketchy, especially crassness. Botti fabricate their own histories
considering how Courtney Love has a tendency and frequently embarrass themselves in
to embellish the truth. It's a shame that there public. It's not impossible that Hole would
were no video cameras at their meeting. An have (ironically?) titled t.tJeir tour 7Blond
angry exchange of words between the two Ambition" if Madonna hadn't beaten them to
the punch. Most of all, Ms. Love and Ms.
would be equal parts exciting and terrifying.
Terrifying, because only common sense Ciccone are two of the most skillful celebrity
~-...

media manipulators (i.e. not counting Ted
Turner, Rupert Murdoch, and those of that
ilk) of the late twentieth century.
One need only look at a double feature
of Truth or Dare and Evita to see that
Madonna has accomplished the same thing
as Courtney Love, but in a much longer time
frame (how can we forget Shanghai Surprise,
or as they say about the Holocaust and
Hiroshima, never forget Shanghai Surprise).
Every time Madonna tried to live up to the
potential of Desperately Seeking Susan, she
was thwarted by her limited acting, as some
would argue, or her own inability to choose a
worthwhile project (did I mention Shanghai
Surprise?). Finally, she seems to have gone
from what Liz Smith or Rex Reed would call
"crass to class" with her turn in Evita, but
watching her acceptance speech at the
aforementioned Golden Globes was like
watching a bizarro Grace Kelly. I miss the
sleazy Madonna who celebrated the glory of
her crotch in on-stage masturbation
sequences, huge mylar wrapped picture
books, and songs like "Where Life Begins".
The things we leave behind in the quest for
respectability.
We'll have to wait a few more weeks to
find out if Madonna and Courtney Love will
vie for the same Best Actress award at the
upcoming Oscars. Maybe come 2000, the two
will fight it out for the Janet Gaynor/Judy
Garland/Barbra Streisand role in the third
remake of A Star is Born. Until then, let's
remember a Madonna aphorism from the
Chanel scene in Truth or Dare: "Earrings
don't make people look beautiful. Money
makes people look beautifuL" Eva Peron
would be proud.
