ORIENTATION

This headline has the word 'society7 in it:
by Trevor Pyle
Most students prepare for their first year of college by
choosing a school, visiting campus, and going over brochures.
I prepared for college by watching exactly one half of Animal
House. I was convinced that the movie, plus a few episodes of
Beverly Hills, 90210, had me prepared for Evergreen.
Unfortunately, nothing can prepare you for Evergreen.
But maybe I can try. The following is a brief, but hopefully
informative, guide to your first year of college.
Roommates
Your relationship with roommates is very important. You
will spend long, meaningful hours telling them to turn down
their music, so it is important to get off on the right foot. For
example, a good opening statement would be, "Yes, you can
have that shelf for your food." A bad opening statement, on
the other hand, would be something like, "Hello, my name is
Kathie Lee Gifford. Would you like to see some pictures of my
son Cody?"
If you have a problem with one or more roommates,
campus literature suggests you contact housing staff. Ignore
that. It is more traditional to engage said roommate in a vicious
due to the death, like American Gladiators but without the
humorous, (yet oddly fashionable) costumes. If you don't prefer

a duel to the death, a quick game of Pong, or perhaps Scrabble
will do. Of course, it has to be the death.
Classes
Sometimes first-year students come up to me and say,
"Jim, what can I expect from my first year of class?" And I say,
"My name's Trevor." Then they say, "Shut up, Jim," and walk
away, throwing angry looks over their shoulders.
For all of you people, I'd like to answer your question.
At Evergreen, classes are conducted a little differently than
they are at other colleges. First of all, every single class has the
word 'society' in the title. No one knows why.
Secondly, the class is divided into two parts; lecture and
seminar. In the lecture, one of your faculty members does
exactly that; lecture the students. During this time, most of
the students are wondering how much time will pass until the
typical cigarette break.
Typical Lecture Sequnce
Teacher: What was the relationship between Socrates and the
Stoic philosophy?
Student: If I answer the question, can I go smoke?
Teacher: Filtered or unfiltered?
Student: Both at the same time, sir.
Teacher (to God): I got a degree in horticulture for this?

fact vs. fiction

The second part of class is called seminar. In seminar,
the students assemble, sometime in one big group, sometimes
in several small groups. Then they discuss the topic matter of
the day. Often, this is a very important, enlightening
experience. Almost as often, the conversation goes slightly offsubject when a student asks a merely rhetorical question, such
as, "I wonder what Socrates would have thought of last night's
Beverly Hills, 902107"
Evergreen Reputation
The Evergreen State College has a reputation as a home
to independent thinking, protests, and activism. This
reputation is exaggerated (Editor's Note-Please, save the
whales.) While Evergreen does strive to accept cultural and
ideological differences, its reputation for extremism is
unwarranted. (Editor's Note- there's one dying right now,
probably). At Evergreen, you will find discussion, you w///find
independent thinking, but you will not find a bunch of nuts
who carry their philosophy too far. (Editor's Note- It may even
by Willy. Remember the movie? How the boy saved Willy,
and then hejumped over that pier made out of rocks, and....I'm
sorry...! can't go on....Willy! WILL-LLL-LLLY!)

Greenerculture bias causes exclusion, belittlement
Commentary
By Craig St. Clair
I would like to extend a hearty welcome to all, and
especially new students.
College is a big step in one's life, and while Evergreen is
comparatively small, it is likely to be nothing like you've ever
experienced. College, put simply, is a place of change. I am
entering my third year here and I am a radically different person
than I was when I first stepped on campus. Never in a million
years did I expect to come to embrace a conservative view point
and be in the process of becoming Catholic. I began, I would
guess, as many other students. I read Diet for a New America,
Maslow's psychology, and Jeremy Rifkin's thoughts on
economics and politics and ate it all up. I was here to change
the world, basically, as so many others seemed to be. But as
my first year progressed I became deeply skeptical of the
Greener culture, which is my term for the dominant culture at
Evergreen.
The Greener culture is essentially liberal and has its own
set of biases and prejudices, regardless of the high-minded,
idealistic talk that pervades this campus, and it will most
certainly be present during Orientation Week activities.
Greener culture consists of certain points of view on politics,
economics, law, human nature, and, of course, education, and
a variety of other issues. These points of view involve a rosy
view of human nature, a negative view toward religion, and an
individualistic, experience-centered view of education. These
points of view create certain biases, as all points of view create
biases in the outside world. These biases of the Greener culture
are toward things liberal.

An example of these biases is reflected in notions of
diversity and multiculturalism that one finds everywhere on
campus. Both concepts sound all- inclusive, but in reality they
have specific qualifications for what is considered within the
realm of "diverse" and who is to be part of the "multiculture."
In my two years here, and this includes extensive "diversity
training" and other sorts of training relating to
multiculturalism, diversity is strongly equated with having
different colored skin or being "differently oriented" in a variety
of ways. So diversity is seemingly attained if we have enough
blacks, Latinos, Asians, and Native Americans present. I have
observed multiculturalism in a similar light. It seems that
working toward multiculture involves not only including on
some equal basis differing cultures, but promoting minority
view points to the point of glorification and heroism. All of
this takes place with the exclusion and belittlement of other
view points, whether overtly or not.
Be aware of the biases!!
Evergreen despises most things concerning white males,
Western culture and tradition, free-market economics,
hierarchy, patriarchy, and especially Christianity, the biggest
evil of them all. I am speaking here of the dominant cultural
forces on campus; there are always exceptions to any rule. In
its revolt against what it perceives as The Big Bad White Man
Culture, it has created a culture just as pernicious, if not more
so, but in different ways (I am fully aware of the evils of our
past, but that issue I'll save for another time). Evergreen's
curriculum is woefully lacking in all of the subjects related to
the above aspects of our society (though there are signs of
improvement). Can a culture truly be diverse if it has strong
emotional antipathies to huge aspects of our every day lives? I
don't think so, but Evergreen manages to pat itself on the back

r

quite often and boast about it's "commitment" to diversity. Not
only does Evergreen fall short of practicing its own preaching
on diversity, but its own vision is too narrow and exclusive to
be meaningful for many people beyond minority status of some
sort.
As I have said, be aware of the biases. There is no
meaningful conservative presence on this campus to
counterbalance the dominant liberal dogma. I know of only a
small handful of professors who even understand the
conservative perspective, from the conservative perspective.
Most attitudes I have encountered amount to bashing of that
amorphous and dehumanized group known as THE RIGHT.
The RIGHT consists of people too, and it is easy to spat upon a
political orientation divorced from human beings. Many
conservatives are just as ignorant of liberal views as liberals are
of conservatives. One big difference I have noticed is that many
liberals self-righteously view themselves as "enlightened"-and
morally superior because they are in solidarity with the
oppressed.
I offer no value judgements, at least I have tried not to. I
offer merely observations, from a different point of view.
Hopefully, I can contribute a differing view that most, at best,
grin and bear without truly understanding. Conservative
philosophy and thought have much to offer to rectify of our
social ills, and actually display many commonalities with
aspects Greener culture, more, actually, than most would
think. One need only look beyond the confused mess of
American conservatism and get at the heart of conservative
attitudes.
I wish the new students, and all returning students, a great
year. Its going to be a lot of fun.

A review of some Evergreen issues and happenings
Public Safety to Board of trustees
get guns this
representatives
winter
needed
BY REYNOR PADILLA
Two of Evergreen's campus police
officers may choose to not carry weapons
when the campus' police department makes
the change from unarmed public safety
officers to fully armed and commissioned
police officers this fall.
That's the word from Art Costantino, the
vice president in charge of student affairs who
oversaw the "community decision" to arm
public safety last school year.
In other gun-related news, Evergreen's
campus police, originally slated to get guns by
September 1, likely won't carry their new
weapons until winter quarter, said Costantino.
Costantino, who indirectly oversees the
college's police services department, said that
he does not want the transition to take place
until he is sure that every police officer is
trained to carry and use a gun safely.

Art Costantino, the vice president of
student affairs says he is searching for people
to represent Evergreen's student body to the
board of trustees.
The board of trustees is a group of
governor-appointed
non-Evergreen
community members who make most of the
major decisions for the school.
In the past student representatives have
tried to represent Evergreen students'
interests to the board.
Costantino also wants to form a
committee of students to help choose the
student reps.
The committee, which will be called a
disapearing task force or DTP, will be
appointed by Costantino.
Once appointed, the DTP will evaluate
the student rep candidates and President Jane

Jervis will consider who she should choose for
the student rep jobs.
Jervis will ultimately decide which
candidates will be the new student reps.
If you are interested in applying to be a
student rep, or a DTP member, you can call
Costantino at 866-6000 extension 6296.

Computer
Center

The campus computer center was
expanded and remodeled over the summer.
The center now has a bigger Macintosh
lab, a new air circulation system and a slicker
consultants' desk.
The printers have been moved out of
their little windowed room to a new table at
the north end of the center.
Security at the computer center has also

been beefed up. In the past, people used to
climb over the computer center walls by
removing the ceiling's thin sections of
plasterboard.
To stop climbing computer theft,
workers built the computer center walls up to
the cement ceiling of the library building's
second floor.

Eight is enough: a composite of campus service providers
BY MELISSA KALLSTROM
This year Diane Lee won't have to worry
about money as much as she has in the past.
Diane is one of many students who took
advantage of what Key student services has to
offer and received advocacy help. K.E.Y., along
with Evergreen's Financial Aid Department,
was able to give her a tuition waiver for the year.
"Last year I worried a lot about food and
other expenses but this eases my mind. I won't
have to work as hard just to make ends meet,"

out a volunteer application and turn it
in to Juli Kelen. Second, Juli schedules
three training sessions, which usually
occur on three consecutive

critique of the tape is made, the person
goes to the program director and if
there is an open time the person gets the
show.

ORIENTATION

Evergreen's lore and lies explained
A tour through the
campus rumor mill
By David Scheer
Every college probably has it's share of
legends and reciiculating rumors. They're fiin.
Some of the fun is collecting them. Some of
the fun is trying to figure out what is true and
what is not. Some of the fun is adding to them.
This is a tour of Evergreen lore. These
are all the lies, rumors, myths, and legends I've
heard since coming here four years ago. I've
thrown in some interesting facts to try and give
it credibility.
Anyway.
Hi ho. It's tour time. La la la. Wheeee.
The Evergreen steam tunnels and some
conspiracy theories
The steam tunnels are a network of
underground cement corridors spanning
upper campus. They contain, of all things,

move government tanks and infantry in case
of a college uprising. While plausible, most of
the tunnels are barely the width of a golf cart.
It is therefore more logical that in a military
invasion, soldiers will race through the tunnels
on Big Wheels.
This brings us to another Evergreen
conspiracy theory. Many students (i.e. around
20) and some faculty believe that Evergreen
was originally built to be converted into a
prison once the darned liberal experiment
failed.
In this scenario, all of the cement
buildings (or all of the buildings excluding the
Longhouse and the mods) would have bars
added to the windows. Instant prison. Red
square (or "Slippery-when-wet Square") could
be firehosed in a riot. Helicopters could land
on Library and CAB rooftops and guards

In the event of a student uprising, the government will move tanks
infantry onto upper campus through these three foot wide corridors
steam pipes and some wiring. They are highly
overrated, mostly because almost nobody goes
down there.
It is a little known lie that these vast
catacombs were discovered by archeologists
during the construction of the college and that
students who've wandered into them have been
lost for days before resurfacing in places like
Centralia.
The truth is that most students can't get
into the tunnels. Well, not without cunning
skill or friends in the tunnel business
(maintenance, Police Services...). Apparently
the college feels that pressurized steam is a
"hazard."
Last spring, however, two students were
nabbed by Public Safety in the tunnels while
one was allegedly giving the other an unofficial
tour. According to last year's very informative,
well written CPJ article (*self promotion*), the
guide had stolen the keys from a maintenance
worker and had given numerous tours before
being caught.
First year students should be aware that
there are a number of students who adamantly
believe the steam tunnels were installed to

The Longhouse, which as I mentioned
earlier is luckily not cement, would presumably
remain a resource for study of Native cultures.

Guinness Book of World Records.
Unfortunately,
I
don't
remember why. I checked this year's
book and... nothing. So apparently
they took it out. But I swear in the
name of all that's good, Evergreen set
a record having to do with underwater
music, possibly involving a violin.
This next fact I've been avoiding;
I would hate to be accused of self
promotion. However, everyone at
Evergreen should know that the CPJ
was once under the leadership of
Simpsons creator Matt Groening
(*selfpromotion*). Shoot.
As a side note, a few of us at the
CPJ took the time one day to dig in the
archives and discovered that we did
not understand the issues that Matt
helped put out. Apparently, this was
a highly creative phase for him. At
least we have the satisfaction that our
work, good or not, will likely lead to a
very successful career in the
entertainment industry.
Evergreen's woods and beach

Upper campus
As of press time, the east side of the clock
tower is set to 11:50 and the north side is set to
4:20. Having the Clock Tower permanently set
to 11:50 does not offer any immediate
significance. However, for some, 4:20 does. In
fact, the north side of the Clock Tower has been
stopped at this time for several years.
For those not in the know, 4:20 is
synonymous with (whispering voice) pot. This
drug, know to scientists as "reefer", produces
feelings of euphoria when smoked or eaten.
A related Evergreen myth is that many
people here have involvement's with pot. This
is not true.
At one time the Guinness Book of World
Records had more books in print than any
other book, or so I heard. I think this is highly
ironic. I'm not making a tangent, though,

Rumor has it that a number of up and
comers from the 80's Northwest rock scene
were known to have hung out at Evergreen
before striking it big. Courtney Love
supposedly went to school here and wrote
"Rock Star" based on Evergreen. However, our
A & E editor, Jen Koogler, is fairly certain that
she went to high school in Oly for a brief time
and was mad about that. I don't think it
matters.
So back to the Mods, supposedly Nirvana
practically lived there in the mid to late 80s.
"Why would they live in a brown and green
box?" you may ask. Shut up. The big, fun
rumor (the one you should spread to as many
people as possible) is that Nirvana took the
time on their way to stardom to play a party in
Mod 319 and caused a few thousand dollars
damage.
Okay, here's where I get really skeptical.
A large number of students (at least maybe 10)
claim that Kurt Cobain has began haunting all
of the Mods since his death in 1994. Uh... he
returned after death to the Mods? By the way,
I lean toward hating the Mods.
Which brings me to the haunting of
Evergreen. Most of Evergreen is in some way
or another haunted. Since coming here four
years ago, I've been told that the Library is
haunted, the woods are haunted, the Corner
Cafe is haunted, the Mods are haunted, and the
Clock Tower is haunted. A-dorm was haunted

ARTS AND ENTERTAINMENT

~T

We're on a road movie to Olympia
a guide to some fun spots around town
BY JENNIFER KOOGLER
A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far,
away, a disgruntled farm boy named Luke
Skywalker described the excitement factor
on his desert wasteland planet Tatooine as
"if there is a bright center of the universe, you
are on the planet that it's farthest from."
Often times, it appears that young Luke's
words of discontent apply equally as well to
our forest wetland planet Olympia. A
smallish city nestled between the two
glowing spheres of Seattle and Portland, it
sometimes seems that sources for adventure
are few and far between. Yet under the
weighty clouds of mist and monotony lies a
healthy entertainmentopolis with a Force
that surrounds us and penetrates us and
binds the galaxy together. Here is a tour of
some of the interesting points around Oly
that add to the excitement. Jump into your
landspeeder and hang on.
You Are Here- Evergreen
Note: For an in-depth tour of the campus,
check out the tour starting on page 8. Now,
back to our program...
There is not really one specific place for fun
on campus. However, here are a few of the
sources from which entertainment finds its
way to you.
•KAOS
Evergreen's own community radio
station featuring news and music shows of
every kind. Tune your radio into 89.3 FM (if
you live on-campus you'll probably get it on
more channels than that). Pick up a show
schedule at the KAOS offices on the third
floor of the CAB (Campus Activities

Building, you know, with the Deli and
Bookstore and stuff) to pick up a show
schedule and find out how you can get your
own show.
• S&A (Services and Activities) Productions
S&A Productions sponsors different
activities on campus throughout the year,
like musical groups to lectures. Upcoming
events include the sounds of Caribbean steel
drum band Soca Fiesta, which will perform
during the Student Activities Fair on
September 24 along with the Mud Bay
Jugglers. This year, S&A Productions has a
hotline to keep the community up to date
on events. The number is 866-6000 (that
gets you into the Evergreen system), x5637.
If you would like more information, call
Greg Porter in the S&A Productions Office
atx6222.
•Student Groups
Evergreen houses a vast number of
Student Activity groups, focusing on
everything from political concerns to more
leisurely activities. Different groups cater to
different tastes, so I suggest you grab a copy
of the 96-97 Student Activities Services
Directory. They are available all around
campus, but you are most likely to find one
on the third floor of the CAB, home of the
student groups. Wandering around the
maze of cubicles, you might find yourself in
the offices of the Cooper Point Journal, in
which case feel free to stop by and hang out.
•Housing
For those of us lucky enough to inhabit the
campus 24-7-365, Housing's friendly staff
puts on a number of weekly and quarterly
events designed to lift even the most
downtraught of spirits. These are especially

appreciated during those long winter months
of darkness and doom. Depending on which
area of Housing you live in, your activities will
vary. All-resident fun includes video nights
on both Friday (in the Edge in A-Dorm) and
Saturday nights (in the MOD social space).
Keep your eyes open for banners and flyers
announcing events.
•Community Center
Nestled in the middle of Phase II and III
(otherwise known as Alphabet City), the
Community Center features the Branch, a
mini-convenience store stocked with
emergency supplies like Red Vines and
Shasta. A great place to hang out and
microwave a burrito. Adjacent to the Branch
is the Comer, a student-run collective cafe
with exceptionally yummy vegetarian and
vegan delicacies. The Corner opens on
Sunday, September 29. The Community
Center is also a great place to do group
homework assignments, read a book, or get
away from your house for awhile. It is not a
good place to take a nap. Housing often
brings bands to there, as well as hosting an
Open Mike most Sunday nights. As before,
keep your eyes open.
Your Own Backyard—West Olympia's finest
Note: This part of our journey will be
conducted via Intercity Transit. Bus number
41 takes you downtown and Bus number 44
lands you at the mall. The 41 can be caught
attheA-Dorm loop, while both can be caught
at the Library loop. Check the Bookstore or
the actual bus stop for all sorts of bus
schedules. Fares are $.50 each way, or you
can buy an all-day unlimited use pass for just

a dollar. If you have a vehicle, it's probably
best to follow the bus route until you find
your own covert action ways about town.
•Capital Mall
Your usual mall fare, including a Gap,
various fried food outlets, a video arcade,
and first-run movie theater. One definite
highlight is the indoor carousel, which does
cost money to ride but gives you a nice,
soothing, return-to-childhood feeling
without embarrassing relatives waving at
you at each turn or the stickiness of cotton
candy on your hands. If you aren't too dizzy
after your ride, get a handful of sweets from
the "train" of candy dispensers for only a
quarter.
•Olympia Food Co-Op
Located at the corner of Rodgers and
Bowman (you can take the 41, get off at
Division and Bowman and walk down or
take the 45 from downtown), the Co-Op is a
good place for organic and natural foods. A
little more expensive than the grocery, but
cheaper if you join the co-op.
•Eddy's Groceries
Just down from the Co-Op at the corner
of Rodgers and Brawne, this really cool
neighborhood store features beers from
around the world; Yippy.
•Rainy Day Records
Perhaps one of the most coveted Oly
spots, Rainy Day is an excellent source for
indie and mainstream music, including a
gaggle of 7-inches and used CD's. As if that

What you missed here in Oly over the summer
BY CRISTIN "TIN TIN" CARR
Olympia is truly a college town. After all
the Greeners have gone home or caravaned
to Guatemala or wherever they go for
summer vacation, Olympia is pretty quiet.
For those of you that didn't have the joy of
spending your vacation in Oly , here's the
scoop on what went down.
Finding cheap entertainment in Olympia
became even harder after the State Theater,
the only second run movie theater around,
closed suddenly at the beginning of the
summer. Apparently it wasn't generating
enough of a profit. The Capitol Theater
filled some of the void by fitting in dollar
(two dollars for non-members) into their
regular schedule. So far no one has taken
over the venue where the State was,
although rumors about new owners
abounded throughout the summer.
Another controversy this summer was
over the fountain. At the beginning of the
summer, Olympia opened a new park
across the street from Capitol Lake which
consisted of water being shot out of the
ground at various intervals. It was actually
kind of pretty until parents realized they
could let their kids splash around in their
bathing suits all day in the Fountain instead
of paying to have them swim in the YMCA.
Every sunny day, swarms of children would
cover every inch of the fountain. Then, at
the end of July it was shut down suddenly
because of allegations that a six-year-old girl
had suffered internal injuries from the spray
of the fountain. Park officials spent weeks
deciding over the fate of the fountain until
it was reopened with lower water pressure
on September 11.
Olympia was teeming with excitement
when Sylvester Park was used for a scene in
the upcoming Disney movie, Prefontaine,
the life story of Steve Prefontaine, a runner
in the 1970s who was killed before he was

able to compete in the Olympics. Many locals

found them very memorable. BIG MISTAKE.

What I caught of their set when I returned
was fucking rad. Speaking of fucking rad,
this Dub Narcotic set was the best I've ever
seen (which says a lot because this was show
#5 for me). I never seen an audience respond
to band at the backstage like they did this
night. There was no parking on the dance
floor, everyone was shaking and bouncing.
My personal highlight of the summer (and
probably the highlight of the Capital Mall's
existence) was "Safety Zone", the children's
safety show performed by Roscoe Orman,
"Gordon" from Sesame Streetin front of the
Bon Marche. "Gordon" started offby telling
the hordes of children that everyone from
Sesame Street wanted him to say hello except
for Oscar the Grouch. He taught the
audience how to stop, drop and roll and
remember their names and addresses. He
also sang such Sesame Street classics as
"People In Your Neighborhood" and "Sing a
Song". After the show he did a meet and
greet. My friend and I laughed at all the Elmo
worshipping children who only received
photocopied autographed glossies because
we had come prepared. She had him sign
her 10th Anniversary Album and I brought
my People In Your Neighborhood book. He
was really nice to us even though we were the
only people on line to meet him that were
over seven years old and we were admittedly
a bit star struck over the bald singing man
from our childhood.
Well, that's about all the fun and
excitement that was to be had in Oly this
summer. For anyone of you that are thinking
of spending the summer here next year, I
must warn you that you better be able to
think up fun things to do because olympia
doesn't offer oodles of excitement in the
summertime.

THE COOPER POINT JOURNAL • 11 • SEPTEMBER 20,1996

here we go again...

ARTS AND ENTERTAINMENT
wasn't enough, Rainy Day is also a video
store, featuring a vast array of obscure and
foreign films. To round out your coolness,
you can buy skateboard paraphernalia,
magazines, shoes, and clothes. Tickets for
a lot of Oly events are sold here. Worth the
trip just to view the creative decorations
both in and out of the display windows.
Located at the corner of Harrison and
Division, take the 41 and get off when you
see the Al's Auto Supply on your left.
•Asterisks Cafe
A favorite of Evergreen research/
discussion groups. Yummy food and tons
of coffee. On nice days, you can sit outside.
Located right next to Rainy Day.
•Value Village
The good old VV came to our
neighborhood last year. It boasts itself as a
"department thrift store", meaning it
divides its clothes and assorted goods by
category and color. Wow. Dig for treasures
and bargains. Located right down from
Rainy Day. Happy hunting.
•OPAS (Olympia Potters&Artists Supply)
If you cross the street from Rainy Day,
heading towards downtown past the bread
store, you'll find the cottage-esque home of
OPAS. A good place to know about if you
feel the urge to whip up the next great
modern art painting or are enrolled in a
class that demands a lot of art supplies. Ask
about the 10% student discount.
Mission Control— The nucleus of it all,
Downtown Oly.
Note: Downtown's maze of streets are a bit
confusing. Forgive me if some of this is
unclear, but have fun finding stuff. You can
also use a free bike from the Olympia Bike
Library. They are all painted pink. Feelfree
to hop on a not-in-use one and return it to
the Transit Center when done.
•The Olympia Transit Center
This is where the friendly 41 will let
you off. Be sure to exit or you might end up
in Tumwater. During normal business
hours, you can head on inside the Intercity
Transit offices and find out more about bus
schedules and such. This is also where you
will pick up the 41 back to Evergreen, so take
the time to look around and get your
bearings so you can find your way back. On
weekdays and Saturday, the last bus leaves
at 10:30pm, 6pm on Sunday. Keep this in
mind.
•Positively 4th Street Records
Just so you know, 4th is the street you
came down on the bus. Located towards the
end of the street as you go back towards the
Thriftway (pretty much where downtown
begins), the store carries a lot of used vinyl
(including the Batman soundtrack featuring
the artist formerly known as Prince), new
and used CD's, T-Shirts, and a picture of
Fugazi's Ian MacKaye on the musically
blanketed walls. You can also buy tickets
for events and shows here, too.
•Danger Room Comics
Just down the street from Positively
4th is Danger Room. Admittedly, I know
nothing about comics or comic stores, so I

For those of you who came in late,
Dumpster Values was a hip used clothing
store run by Greeners. For a relatively small
amount of cash, you could pick up some
choice wardrobe picker-uppers. The store
closed down this summer, but is reappearing
under a different name (rumored to be the
Greek word for garbage) in the space once
occupied by Olympic Outfitters (you can tell
by the large green awning). This space is
found right around the corner from Bulldog
on N Washington Street. Inside this lovely
space will also be Roach Lady Furnishings,
featuring used furniture (keep your eye on the
pink bean bag chair in the window) and a
skate shop called Headquarters. Upstairs will
be an art gallery and space for artists to create.
The stores should be open sometime in early
October, so keep circling the area until you see
it up and running.

• Old School Pizzeria
My roommate from the Bronx says that
as far as New York-style pizza goes, it's ok, but

turned to comic correspondent Mike Harris
for advice. He says that Danger Room is a
great place to shop especially if you are
looking for rare and underground comics,
but to get there fast as stuffgoes quickly. A
good place to find out about comic
conventions and buy zines as well. As I
strolled about the store, I got a handful of
Skittles from the candy dispenser, only to
find there was a pink heart Runt mixed in
with them. Yum!
•Pleasant Peasant
Just across Columbia Street from
Danger Room, Pleasant Peasant is a little
expensive for everyday dining but has plenty
of yummy vegetarian and vegan dishes.
Cozy atmosphere, too.
•Midnight Sun
Located at 113 N. Columbia Street, just
down from the previously mentioned
locales, the Midnight Sun is a venue for
bands, plays, and spoken word
performances of every kind. They usually
flyer a lot both on and off campus, so look
around.
•Browser's Books
Located inbetween 4th and State on N.
Capitol Street, Browser's is a great used book
store. Take your class book list; you're
bound to find some of them there.
• The Olympia Farmer's Market
A cornucopia of fresh produce, plants,
flowers, and other goods from local growers.
There are also crafts, jewelry, and clothes for
your browsing and buying pleasure. The
market is open Thursday through Sunday
from 10am to 3pm. To find the market, go
all the way down Capitol Street towards the
water until you reach the large building. It's
pretty easy to spot.
•Archibald Sisters
Also on Capitol between 4th and 5th
Streets, Archibald Sisters is a cool store
featuring cards, stickers, assorted novelty
knick knacks, perfumes, shampoos and
other cosmetic devices, candy, and other fun
stuff. A good place to browse and buy your
parents a postcard.

THE COOPER POINT JOURNAL • 12« SEPTEMBER 20,1996

ARTS AND ENTERTAINMENT
yes, right up here...
as far as Oly is concerned, it's superb. Nifty
70's atmosphere, including a Mileniumn
Falcon to match the huge Star Wars mural on
the right side of building. Eat your crust with
honey. To find it, go past Orca and cross the
street after you pass the Safeway.
•The lovely Capitol Theater
Literally the capital of all things sassy
and cinematic in Oly. Find the theater on 5th
Street (that's one block down from 4th) and
the large marquee. Site of many cool films
shown by the Olympia Film Society that
change monthly and the world famous
Olympia Film Festival coming this October.
Occasionally, the theater will have second-run
dollar movies ($2 for non-members). To join
the film society and get a discount on movies,
pick up a form at the theater or on the
schedules found all around Oly. It's only $7
for students, seniors, and low income folks.
The Back Stage is a venue for all sorts of all
ages band fun, including Goodness, Sister
Psychic, and Jodi Watts on October 4th for
only $5. Buy your tickets at Rainy Day or
Positively 4th.
•Radiance
Right down the street from the theater,
Radiance offers a variety of herbs, vitamins,
candles, incense, natural cosmetics,
aromatherapy supplies, jewelry, and assorted
wares. Radiance also offers classes like soap
making and herbal body care. Pick up a
schedule in-store. When the kinks and knots
of stress set into your frame, have the experts
there knead them out of you with a relaxing
massage. A half-hour session is only $30.
•Thekla
The only over-21 dance club in town
(that we know of, anyway), Thekla is
frequented by queer and queer-friendly folks
of the grooving persuasion. There is a door

across the street from Radiance, but the actual
entrance is in the alley around the corner.
You'll know you're there by the haze of graffiti
surrounding the entrance. Take the time to
note the tile mural on the building to your left
as you enter the alley. It was created by
students from Japan who visited Oly.
The Outer Limits— The Eastside and beyond
•The Olympia Brewery
In case you were not aware, Oly is home
to a brewery of epic proportions. You can see
the sign boasting the logo "It's in the Water",
from 1-5. Take the tour and when you're done,
receive a free sample of the brewery's product
(NOT to be done if you are driving anywhere.
If your are chronologically challenged, you
receive a free Pepsi and some Oly patches). I
hear that you can get there via Bus 93 from the
Transit Center, but that could be just a rumor.
I suggest you call the brewery and get specific
directions.
• The Rib Eye
If you follow 4th Street up into the
Eastside, you'll eventually run into the Rib Eye,
another popular after-show excursion
destination. Yummy greasy spoon options like
Irish Nachos and marionberry shakes. Open
24-7-365 (ok, maybe not Christmas). As you
pay your check, pick up a copy of Tidbits, a
publication of thought provoking facts and
free goldfish coupons.
• The 7-Eleven on College Street (Lacey)
Ordinarily, a 7-Eleven wouldn't be
anything remotely artistic or entertaining. But
it's the closest 7-Eleven to Evergreen, and I
know that sometimes you absolutely must
have a Slurpee.
•Lacey Cinemas
The other first-run commercial theater

The Evergreen State

in the area. Accessible by bus from the Transit
Center.
•Seattle
If you are lucky enough to be in
possession or know someone who is in
possession of a motor vehicle, drive to Seattle
on weekends. It's about an hour's drive, but
the possibilities of fun are endless. If you're
feeling a bit adventurous, try taking the bus
(see Transit Center for details).

Well folks, if you're still there and your
eyes aren't bleeding yet, congratulations!!
You've completed the tour of Oly. Of course,
not everything fun is mentioned here, but
those places are for you to discover. For
updates on all things both fun and exciting,
keep reading the Cooper Point journal. May
