On March 4, Rosemary Dempsey, the vice president
for the National Organization for Women, carne to speak in
the Library lobby at the Evergreen State College to kick off
our celebration of International Women's Week. Her list of
prior achievements was her victorious 1979 custody battle
fighting lesbian/gay rights, and the founding of the first
battered women's shelter in the U .S. The Women' s Resource
Center sponsored the event.
Dempsey talked fervently (and mostly sarcastically),
without any notes in her hands, about not only woman's
issues, but about issues focusing on gay and lesbians, people
of color, and the welfare state. She said in the beginning of
the lecture that this has bee n not only a ce ntury of
progression, but a century which has not come far enough.
With the Republican s having taken over the Hou se of
Representatives and the Senate, many of the laws recently
passed by the Democrats have receded any progress in the
one session of control the Republi cans have had over
Congress.
Republicans say, Dempsey continued, the government
has become too "fern-centered", and lacks the antiquated
"right-wing masculinity" , which the United States requires
to flouri sh in international and economical politics. The
Republican party in Congress ca lls welfare mothers "welfare
queens". A woman at 1992's March for Rights sa id that
welfare mothers are soon going to be the nation 's leaders.
Pat Buchanan's response to that, according to Dempsey, is
that women don ' t have the attenti on span to be the leaders
of the U.S .
"And certainly th ey're not fit to raise thei r ow n
children," Dempsey adds sarcastically to finish her argument
on welfare mothers.
. In 1994, a Virginian woman lost custody of her daughter
to her devoutly racist husband. He had murdered his former
wife and had been convicted. He had molested the daughter
from that previous marriage, which that daughter testified
to in court. The court's reasoning for granting a husband
with such a hideous past custody of hi s second daughter?
The Virginia woman and mother was a lesbian.
For the first time since Roe vs. Wade, Dempsey
explained, the federal government has put restrictions on
abortion rather than the state. "Partial birth" is a term radicals
use as to describe the atrocity of the new federal law ; the
law says that expectant mo!hers cannot abort a child during
the third teon. The only exception is when the baby is wanted
but is discovered during the third term that it will not survive
When two people are deeply in love with eac h other.
and wish to stay together for the rest of their lives, marriage
is the most often considered option. But, according to the
House of Representatives of Washington State, love is not
the determinant of whether a couple should be married. The
Republican dominated House considers "the procreation and
development of children" the primary purpose of marriage,
and believes this ideolog.y should be enforced by the State.
This was the position they took with House Bill 2262. which
would put into law a ban on same sex marriages.
HB 2262 is being lobbied by the Christian Coaliti on.
and 'other conservative groups that have great influence over
State politics. The bill's support by the Christian Right has
been reflected in comments m ade b y .Re public a n
Representatives .
In a February 11 article in The Olympian, Rep. Gene
Goldsmith (R-Ferndale) said that the interest of the State
was a "compelling interest, not the only interest:" The other
interest he was talking about was hi s personal relig ious
belief.
.
As Goldsmith stated in the same article: "That's the
primary purpose of marriage in the eyes of God, and as 'a
Christian I believe that."
.
Bill sponsors, over two dozen in number, have argued
that the bill is necessary, in the wake of Hawaii 's poss ible
legalization of homosexual marriages. They fear that a gay
or lesbian couple could get married in Hawaii, and then
return to Washington State to receive the same legal benefits
as a heterosexual couple.
Opponents of the bill have questioned why gay
marriages are trying to be banned by Republi~ans, since
they are already not legal-as deemed by a 20-year-ohl COLIrt
ruling recognizi ng onl y stra ight marriages.
Rep. Ed Murray (D·Seattle) the on ly openl y gay per\oll
in the Legislarure. told the Cooper Poilll j Ollrnal that the
bill was "an a tte mpt by the Ri g ht Wing to divide LI S
[po liticall y active gays and lesbians ],"
Murray went on to say that the Ch ri sti an Right have
made attempts every year to impend on the civil libel1 ies of
gays and lesbi a ns, He referred to the annual legislati on by
church groups to restrict any "spec ial right s" fo r the queer
community. which would grant gays and lesbians the .same
protec tion as racial minorities.
He said that HB 2262 was a new "strategy by the Right
Wing to sabotage us [gays and lesbi ans]."
In a letter to The Olympial/. one lady who was oppose. I
to the bill asked if the RepUblicans considered her marri age
unwol1hy. She married a man due to the fac t that she loved
him , but-due to her age-she is incapab le of bearin g
children. Her point was that. according to the bill spon sors.
her marriage did not meet the guidelines of the "purpose of
a marriage."
The bill was passed by the House on Febru3lY 10. and
then brought to the Senate. The Senate. controlled primaril y
by Democrats, decided on February 20 to leave the bill alone
to die.
House Maj ority Leader Dale Foreman (R-Wenatchee)
stated in a February 2 1 al1icle in The Olympiall that he wo uld
try , to get some Democrats on the Republicans ' side. ami
force a Senate vote before the legislati ve sess ion adj ourns

to Jervis. Byars was'also among them . .
But not everyone who was interested in
serving was considered. According to Jeremy
Rice, co-coordi nator of the Student Workers
Association, "I have heard from students who
expressed int eres t at Student Affai·r s in
serving on thi s DTF and were told that to
serve on it one had to be unbiased. and thaI
they could therefore not serve." While it is
reasonable to want DTF members who are
interested in act ive study of the issue at hand
pnd not those whose aim is to impede that
study. it would seem that "bias" would hardly
be relevant to this considerati on. Says Rice,
"The DTF itself is biased by the person who
charges it. Bias can't be kepI out of the
process."
0(\
Both Morgan-Ga ll o a nd Byars
expressed strong opinions regarding the issue.
exempli fy ing Rice 's assessment of the biased
nature of the process. Asked to comment
upon the Trustee's decision to arm, Byars
replied .. ''As I stated at the forums, I oppose
armi ng. but it's not surprising that student
sentiments lat the forums] didn't determine
the decision." Of the decision process, she
opi ned "it has broken down." Morgan·Gallo,
on the other hand , felt the Trustees "made a
difficult decision. one made inevitable by
population pressure and changing ca mpus
demographics." Of the decision process he
says. " It was j ust." He elaborated that Neil
McClanahan had been appoi nt ed by the
"Trustees thi s past spring, and that he had at
that time been give n the responsibility of
recommending whether or not to arm. "Any
students who felt strongly about it should
have become involved then. None did.
Everyone waited until the process was nearl y
over."
But what appeal to student involvement
was made? Did the forums co nstitut e an
honest effort to incorporate student concerns
into the Tru stees' deci sion? Why was it not
appropriate to charge a DTF to stud y whether
or not to arm')
Morgan·Ga ll o s ugg es ts that s in ce
McClanahan was asked to make a
rec<,>mmendalion and nOI actual policy, a DTF
was not indicated . As for the fo rums. Francis
averred th a t the atmosphere was
unwelcoming to students who supported
arming, who may have been kept away by
press ure from the. more vociferou s
opponents to arming. He also asserted that
so metimes the responsibility to 'become
involved should fall to the st udent s
themselves, that it should not be the business
of the ad mini stration to keep every student
apprised of every administrative issue.
Byars holds simila r beliefs. "Total
collectivism is na·ive. Students should know
that some decisions will be made entirely
by th e ad mini str a tion.
And the
adm ini stration should act accordingly. To
ma intain a pretense of community decision
undermines their credibility with student s."
To her, th e formation of the gun DTF
"seemed quick." Moreover, she expressed
conce rn s that thi s se nse of e)(pediency was
experienced by many students, and that it
has contributed to "a vote of 'no confidence'
in the admini stration" on the part of students.
Sh e herse lf was forced to resign from the
DTF by irreco ncilable schedule conflicts,
and adds that several "red flag s" contributed
to her sense that the process was being

battle of genocide and we are trying to keep
our people sober and gain our power back and
become stronger spiritual beings. When
alcohol was introduced into the Longhouse it
was a message being sent to Native people
, everywhere that this genOCide is still
happening.
Since OctoberlNovember of1995, there
have been faculty, students and alumni trying
to correspond with the Provost and President
here at Evergreen that we don't want alcohol
here. After those messages were sent, there
was still alcohol admitted.
What is this supposed to mean to us?
Are our voices not heard still?
Well, on February 2,1996 a meeting was
called with Native and non-native facu lty,
s'taff, students, alumni and yes,
administration. Several statement s were
shared throughout the meeting which was
held in the Longhouse.
After a few hours of these statements; it
was recommended that a temporary
moratorium be placed on the use of alcohol
in the Longhouse and Nancy McKinney. Vice·
president of Finances special assistant, would
present it to the ' se nior staff at the next
meeting.
It was also suggested that a Longhouse
Advisory Committee be formed. The idea of
a moratorium was passed and the Advisory
Committee is being formed currently.
The committee will consist of; faculty
and a student from the Native American
Studies program, Alumni, community
members from a traditional Longhouse
culture, facilities, conference services, space
management, John Cushing, the soon to be
hired coordinator 6f the Longhouse, Nancy
McK,inney, Karen Wynkoop, and students
from the Native Students Alliance, MEChA,
Latin American Student Organization, First
People's Peer Support, and two students that
might otherwise be interested in being on that
committ~e.
if anyone is interested please contact
either myself (Karyn Carterby) o r Nancy
McKinney at ext.650S.

The Rogue Niggah
Duetoatechnicalmisprintthisstoryappeared
incomplete in last week's edition of the CPl.
We now present it in its entirety. OUT
ap%giestl!ourre<ldersandMr.Monroe.
By Vaun Monroe
I know it's no longer February-Black History
month. It struck me though, that February,
being the shortest. month, was too small to
contain the achievements of Black America:
so I'm taking an extra day, With this act I pay
homage to the rogue niggah in me . .
In the antebellum south a "rogue niggah"
was a slave who stood up for himself, escaped
slavery or attempted to overthrow the slave
ow ner. According to Funk and Wagnall's
rogue is defined as 1. a dishonest and
unprincipled person: trickster: rascal 2. one
who is innocently mischievous or playful 3. a
fierce and dangerous an imal separated from
the herd 4. biology-a variation from the
standard. It was an astonishingly. versatile
word managing to convey the chameleon-like
quality necessary for blacks to survive slavery
in a democratic society. Let us trace the
evolution of the "rogue niggah" to hi s
surroundings by examining the detinition of
rogue.
#1 A dishonest and unprincipled person:
trickster: rascal-this definition was the favorite
of slave owners and is presently the favorite of
sym-pathetic pseudo-liberals who truly believe
black people to be inferior. "The blacks have
to be taken care of by us or else .what would
happen to them?" Yeah. Right. Next! Black
people can take care of themselves, All we
want is equal opportunity.
#2 One who is innocently mischievous
or playful. Another aspect adopted by the
south. It was used to dehumanize blacks, to
make them chi ldlike, thus reinforcing the , unemployed at that rate it made history. "The

If we must die, let it not be like hogs
Hunted and penned in an inglorious spot,
While round us bark the mad and hungry dogs,
Making their mock at our accursed lot.
If we must die, 0 let us nobly die,
So that our precious blood may not he shed
In vain; then ev.en the monsters we defy
Shall be constrained to hdnor us though dead!
o kinsmen Iwe must meet the common foe!
Though far outnumbered let us show us brave,
And for their thousand blows deal one
deathblow!
What though before us lies the open grave?
Like men we'll face the murderous, cowardly

Pressed to the wall, dying, but fighting back!

My gut instinct has been that the 82

about the Sonics. If they lost a lot, well, then
you can forget about championships, and if
they won, so what? They won 120 of their last

in the playoffs twice.

Seattle made only one major offseason
swap. GM Wally Walker swung a deal with
Charlotte to acquire Hawkins in exchange for
Kendall Gill. At the time, it looked like an even
trade; a young guard for an old guard, spring
in the legs for consistent air barrage.
Gill ended up in New Jersey, with a
broken hand, so the jury's out on him. Hawkins
started slowly forthe Sanies. But now that he's
living up to his billing as a long range
marksman, the
Sanies have a more
dependable 3 point
threat than in past
postseason
pratfalls. Hawkins
is giving the Sanies
15.8 points per
game. His presenc!
might be huge this
May.
"The move they
made to get Hersey
Hawkins, that was
unbelievable," said
Suns coach Cotton
Fitzsimmons.
Hawkins hit two
three-pointers in

minutes and a lean.in banker with 1:01
left in overtime to
p'ropel Seattle to a

victory in Houston.
Averaging career
highs of21 points and 12.3 rebounds a contest,
Shawn Kemp is having his best year yet. He's
tied for third best in t.he league with a .564 fieldgoal percentage. He's a go-to guy in the post
now, but sometimes has trouble against the big
shot-blockers like Dikembe Mutombo. His
touch is still a little clumsy on the short hooks
and turn-a rounds, key weapons against the
trees in the lane. If he can be a more
dependable scorer in the low blocks, the Sanies
can utilize the same sort of offense that brought
Houston two championships. The strategy is
this; feed the big man in the post, if he isn't
double-teamed, he scores. If another defender
rotates over to double, kick the ball out to the
man he left and watch them hit an open shot!

If Kemp isn't 'on the Dream Team this
summer, there's no justice in the world. A
regrettable lapse in judgement or two may cost
him a spot on the team, despite his monster
year and his obvious regret about the "crotchgrabbing" incident at the World Championships.
Even with Kemp and McMillan hurt the
last couple of games, the Sanies were able to
break their team record for consecutive wins.
And on the road, no less!
The squad has transcended "Super:';
"Ultra-Sonies" would be a more accurate name
for a team shattering far more than the sound
barrier_
Defense has never been a gripe of
disappointed Sonic fans. Once again George
Karl s boys are leading the league in steals (11.1
per game). It's been breakdowns in the halfcourt offense that make Northwesterners cry.
Reassuringly, the always athletic Supes
are showing signs of being able to hang with
the big boys at crunch time. The formula: move
the ball·around, maintain composure and find
a shot even jfthe clock is running-down.
"I think we're going to be ready for the
playoffs:' said coach KarL "I think the team
very much understands that to erase the past
couple of seasons we have to at least win the
first round."
There are still some serious doubters,
however.
"I don't think they (Sanies) strike fear in
anyone's hearts," Charles Barkley said after his
Suns lost a 117-99 decision at Key Arena.
"They're a good team, not a great team. If you
play well, you can beat them. I still look forward
to playing them in a seven game series."
Hakeem Olajuwon has said that he kept
looking forward to meeting the Sanies in the
playoffs. but the So nics could never make it
through the first round.
Byron Scott, a Laker in the glory days, is
more ~enerous, comparing Seattle to the Bulls.
I don't see anybody in the West capable
of beating them (Chicago). But Seattle might
give them the most problems because oftheir
trapping and switching defense."
An under-publieized fact: Since Jan. 10.
when the Bulls thrashed the Sonics 113-87,
Seattle has the best winning percentage in the
league. Their record of21-2 (91.3) is even better
than the Bulls' 22-3 (88%).
Seattle vs. Chicago in the NBA Finals?

Jonah E.R. Loeb's letter "condemning

sexism, racism, and violence that afflicts his
cartoon as well. Such mentality is sadly
prevalent underscoring the dominant society's
disregard for principles, cultures, and
perspectives that aren't inundated in consumer
self-gratification. These traits are desirable in
those being recruited, unwittingly or not, for
fascism's expansion. One can read available

teachers, and adminIstration,
Good day, Evergreen. This letter is intended
to introduce you to a new student club I'm
forming under the direction of Student
Activities. Students registering for programs
at Evergreen often find themselves in an
existential dilemma: They must register for
a program, they must take responsibility for .
their choice, and they must do it with
insufficient information to assure success. In
truth, there will probably never be enough
information. but there could be a great deal
more. That's why I'm spending my spring
quarter building the Student Evaluation of
Faculty Library Project (SEFLP) club.
SEFLP is primarily concerned with
protecting consumers (the students) by
providing information about the quality of
the product (a teacher's instruction). We
believe that this will allow students to make
wiser choices about what program to take.
The information will come from donated
eva luations of teacher performance by
Evergreen students. The only editorial
control the club will exert is to decline to
publish evaluations that fall outside of
protected free speech (libel. call to violence.
etc.)
Intrinsic to the club's ideals is a belief that
learning is a collaborative effort. Without
responsibility for that collaborative effort by
all parties, it can only succeed by good luck.
When everyone feels involved in the results
of the effort the performance of all improves,
enhancing the overall quality of education at
TESC. Teachers, students, and the institution
as a whole will benefit from open access to
these evaluations.
Another way oflooking at it is as a purely
consumer oriented venture. As students, we
spend a lot of money every quarter and we
ha.Je..a right to try to assure that we will get
value for our money. Imagine if you were
THE COOPER POINT JOURNAL' - , , - MARCH
7,1996
buying a car and .the dealer refused to give
you a test drive or a peek under the hood.
How confident would you feel about buying
it? At a school like Evergreen, where
dropping and adding programs is so
difficult, the metaphor is particularly apt.
Often a student-has orily one or two teachers
the entire length of his or her program. It's
impossible to feel confident about this most
critical selection by relying on rumors and
what one can learn in the crush of the
academic fair.
. Faculty sometimes say that they are willing
to show their eva luations to interested
stud~nts. While this is admirable. it isn't
enough to meet students' information
needs. Asking a teacher for his or her
evaluations involves a possible
confrontation. Our library will be
completely neutral ground. A faculty may
choose not to show their evals to students.
People registering from out of sta te have no
possibility of access to information about
faculty·under this catch-as-catch-can system .
It can be very difficult to reach teachers on
the phone, as schedules often aren't
compatible. Arranging a time to view evals
involves scheduling difficulties which may
be insurmountable before the beginning of
the quarter (negating the value). With all of
that in mind. it is currently near to
impossible to compare faculties. SEFLP is
here with the solution. Please donate your
evaluations of faculty and consider
becoming part of the SEFLP team.

.
Ted Demme and an ensemble cast explore men's obsession with pinups
by John F. Evans
Men have always been obsessed with
beautiful girls. We sometimes go through our
whole lives looking for this gorgeous perfect
creature that will make our fantasies flesh .
Sooner or later every man must realize that
outside of magazines and movies such an ideal
cannot exist. Sooner or later we must reconcile ourselves ~ith real women, and appreciate their human failings along with their
charms.
That's the message of Beautiful Girls, a
new ensemble fUm starring Timothy Hutton,
Uma Thurman, Matt Dillon, Mira Sorvino,
Rosie O'Donnell and a half dozen other familiar faces. Hutton is ostensibly the key character, but everyone gets their moments in this
story of broken dreams, friendship, and maturity (or lack thereof).
Hutton is Willie, a small town guy trying
to make it as a piano player in New York. He
comes back to his snow choked hometown for
a class reunion, and to see all his old buddies.
Willie isn't sure that he loves his fiancee back
in the city; when pressed by his obnoxious pals
he can only rate her a ,7.6 in face, body, and personality. Quite respectable, but she isn't the
dream of perfection he and his friends have
sought, and failed tQ find, since high school.
Complicating matters is Marty, the bright
thirteen year old ~atalie Portman of The Professional) who lives next door. In her Hutton
sees the promise offeminine perfection. He is
smitten by her, and she by him.
Indira (Thurman), a real life Beautiful
6irl, is a
stranger in
town . Mos~
of the guys
take their
shot at her,
but all crash
and burn.
She ,like a lot
of real life
Beautiful
Girls, has
someone already. Her
simple rela. tionship satisfies her; none of the lustful guys in Knight's
Ridge can offer her anything she needs. It's a
bucket of ice cold reality in their faces.
Dillon is "Birdman", a fading high school
hot shot who has a nice girl i.it his life (Sorvino)
but is still messing around with his high school
prom queen, Darian (Lauren Holly of the cu),rent Down Periscope). "Birdman" always
. thought he was going to grow up to be a star.
He's living in a fantasy ~orld, unable to commit to the girl he loves b~cause of his inlpossible expectations of womanhood.
There are many more subplots, dozens of
characters, but they all mesh together
seamlessly. Knight's Ridge is an interesting
town, full.of eccentric ·people.

first arrives in town. Everything he says is safe,
old hat and innocuous. Only when he's loaded
does he risk saying what he's really thinking. It .
isn't a flashy kind of touch, but I appreciated
it.

·Taxi-Vala portrays apoc~lyptic visipn of racism 'through New York City cab drivers
by Christian Miller
A recent dOl:umentary in the Disorient
film series, Taxi- Vala Autobiography explores
· the convoluted issues of racism and sexism
through the lives of several South Asian immigrant cab drivers. The film's narration by the
young filmmaker Vievik Renjen Bald is
thoughtful and provocative.
Bald's artistic film work weaves surreal.
abstract images ofNew York's urban landscape
as a backdrop to the stories of the immigrant
cab drivers. Vievik allows his camera images
to blur together which is reminiscent of
Cezanne's 'shifting planes offocus: This constant psychedelic movement of light· and image seems to breath, transforming the city into
a living, breathing, ebullient entity.
The immigrants originally dream of
working hard and becoming wealthy. "When
I used to see a picture of New York's skyscrapers taken from Brooklyn Heights_ .. I said to
myself that is where ru go." The driver explains
this as the skyscrapers undulate, ripple and
· peer sinisterly over the East River onto the
cabby driving across the Brooklyn Bridge.
However, he explains with a calm resolution,
his diminished dream and the reality of working 12 hours a day, seven days a week for an
income that barely provides him with basic
sustenance.
A few of the drivers remain optimistic
about their job, explaining that they like being
their own boss, but mostly the documentary
portrays a brooding despair. One immigrant
explains his struggle to find~C?rk upon arriving to America. He then says i(everyday your
country approves thousands of visas to immigrants, why do they let all these people immigrate when there is nothing here? No jobs, No
money." Amidst this dialogue we see images
of litter 'strewn Manhattan neighborhoods
blurring and streaking through the windows
of the taxi cab. As these images of urban decay
reel by, the drivers describe their various tribulations with racism . .
One cab driver explains to Vievik an experience he had with police brutality. While
attempting a left turn around a car traveling
straight in a 'left turn only' traffic lane the
. cabby was pulled Qver by a police officer. The
officer proceeded to write a traffic ticket to the .
Pakistani driver. The cabby explained to the
officer that he was obeying the law, that it was
the other car that was at fault. The driver tells
Vievik that upon hearing this the officer flared
up with rage and let loose a racist harangue.
"Are you trying to tell me the law? Why don't
you go back to where you belong...... The indignant immigrant was therr arrested and
thrown in jail. For 24 hours he endured handcuffs cutting into his skin and cutting off his
circulation. Upon his release the cab driver
received a litany of traffic tickets.
Vievik also reveals the sexism of the cab
drivers. At one point during the film Bald asks
a driver "I hear there are three Pakistani
women working as taxi driver, do you know
who they are?"
"That's impossible, impossible!" the
driver responds. He is as convinced that it is
as possible to sprout wings and fly as it is for
Pakistani woman to drive a cab. The narrator
presses the issue with the cab driver, insinuating that his comments are sexist. The driver
then recoils at Vievik with disdain, telling
Vievik that it is easy for him, being white and
privileged, to stand behind a camera while asking intrusive and impudent questions.
.
The documentary also reveals the cab '
drivers' prejudices towards African Americans.
Vievik expresses the frustration of his African
American friends being refused to be picked
up by a cab for no apparent reason. However,
not all Mthe drivers have this prejudice. One
driver in particular is outraged at such insolent behavior, citing that this kind of discrimination only causes more racism with the angry reverberations it provokes within those left
standing along the sid~ of the avenue.
The haunting footage ofNew York combilled with its impenetrable racial strife lend
an apocalyptic vision to modern America.
Vievik is intelligently cynical about the depraved state of the urban jungle. He portrays
the infected state of America's own caste system and insinuates his own disgust at humanities inclination to tyrannize the human body
and soul with its self destructive hatred.
Through Vievik's'exposure of his own in-
THE COOPER POINT JOURNAL
ternal dilemmas concernIng racism and his
documentation of the complex cross wrrents
of discrimination, the young filmmaker expresses a view that implies that raCism is a complex societal virus, for which there is no known
cure.
While Vievik doesn't offer us solutions
to the problems of discrimination, he does
document the experience'of racism through the
microcosm of the Pakistani cab drivers. Rathe)'
than offering solutions, Taxi- Vala offers exposure to some of the intricate issues of discrimination, bringing it to our consciousness and
challenging us to question our own prejudices.

we'll find out what connection Death has to
these mysteries, and why she wants to talk to

Tony Rich develops his own style wlth Words

DC ComicsIVertigo
A rising star on the R&B scene, Tony
Rich makes an impressive debut with his
first album, Words. The Detroit-born
musician, who has prevjously worked with
heavy-hitters like Hoyz II Men and TLC,
has taken the time tp develop his own
unique style on Words, and manages to
strike a satisfYing balance between surface·
slick and personal intimacy.
Rich displays considerable talent in
many areas of music. To begin with, the
entire record is self-produced, written and
arranged. Besides singing, Rich is a multiinstrumentalist and plays keyboards.
drums/precussion, bass and harmonica
on this album. His hypnotically soothing
voice glides over every song with real
warmth. There's nothing difficult or harsh
sounding abollt Rich's music, and it slides
through your senses as effortlessly as liquid silk.
.
One aspect of Rich's musicianship
which sets him apart from the disposable
corporate· pop sound which pervades a
great deal of Top 40 music is his willingness to discuss serious issues. "Grass is
Green," for example, is told from the point
of view of a desperate thug: "Down by the
river contemplating / maybe suicide / Or

rock and roll" and she's in New York to appear
on the Late Show with David Letterman. Unfortunately, all this travelling seems to be upsetting
Hazel. who has to stay home and take care ofher
SOil Alvie.
Like a lot of Sandman stories, this is mythology that keeps its feet on the ground. You
tend to get so wrapped up in the sJice-of-life tale
of Hazel and Foxglove that you don't really expect any fantasy. or horror elements to rear their
heads. Snobbish critics outside of the comics
mainstream often claim that Gaiinan's more
overtly personal graphiC novels like Mr. Punch
are superior to his Sandman stories, but that's
because they miss the point. Gaiman 's real-world
characters are so believable and easy to relate to
that they make you accept th.r fantasy world like
the most straightforward non-fiction story. The
premise is built around the Endless, but without the real world characters like Hazel and Foxglove, most of the stories would never get off the
ground. In other words, Gaiman has been do-
maybe I'll take someone else's life / I didn't
touch your purse for fun ... I needed the
funds." In "Billy Goat." Rich looks at dead·
beat dads: "Billy got babies over here and
over there / He's startin' to fade away /
'Cause he's so damn scared. "
The style Rich shows on Words is
smooth yet sharp, understated and subtle.
His lyrics are at times thought-provoking
but always clear, and he sings about the
human condition with empathy and sensitivity. Rich's father died sever,al years ago,
and that personal experience in his life is
reflected on the album, particularly in the
son~~, "Nobody Knows, ". ~ nd "Missin'
You.
Words is a very mellow record, and at
times the monotony of its tone seems to
, hil'1der a few of the songs. The disturbing
"Gr.ass is Green," for instance, could have
been m'ade more effective with 'a more ur·
ban-edged, harder-hitting vocal delivery. I
would have liked to see how Riclnvould
handle a more upbeat tempo on s?me of
the tracks, but he is apparently more interested in e.5tablishing a distinctive style
rather th e.n experimenting. Overall,
though, Words does a good job of blending electronics with real instruments and
showcasing the skills of a new and talented
artist.

Spinanes -prepare for August twilight with Strand 'MytJpc~~
by Jen Koogler
Before purchasing tlie new Spinanes album, Strand, my knowledge of the Portland
twosome was only limited to a scratchy copy
of their first album, Manos, complete with a
purple cover designed by my best friend Alexis.
The punky (not Brewster)-pop tunes caused
my head to sway and feet to pound away on
the floor mats of my friend's car. The Spinanes
second album quiets down a tad, but provides
plenty of songs for the wired as well as the wistful.
Rebecca Gates and Scott Plouf,who
make up the Spinanes, impressed indie and
mainstream audiences with the powerful
sounds found on Manos despite their
minimalistic reper.toire. With Gates on guitar
and Plouf on drums, they made rhythmic riffs
a plenty. Strand extends their instrument leanings-Gates plays piano and organ, while
Plouf takes on a broader range of percussion
selections, including everyone's favorite orchestra mainstay, the timpani. The result is a
softer, fuller sound that lulls listeners away
from previous works.
The Sp'inanes are very spring/summer
oriented. I don't know what it is about their
songs that bring sunny scenes and warm
breezes to mind, but I spent a lot of tim'e Iisteningto Manosoutside. If that album is warm
days in May, then' Strand is representative of
those twilights in August, spent driving around
looking for a Baskin-Robbins.
The album begins
with-"Madding", its open- .
ing notes ominous with
mellow percussion beats
and a twinkle of guitar
strumming. Gates' lush
voice fills the corners that
the instruments don't creating a precedence fo~ the
rest of the album. One
thing that carries over from
Manos is her vocal
strength, becoming one of
the instruments and setting
the tone for the songs.
"Punch Line Loser" and
"Oceanwide" al:e relativel)
demonstrative of her natu
ral talents for crooning anc '
whisping until you SWOOI
(hopefully not while driv
ing).
"Azure" continues
Manos' excellent ability for catchiness, toned
down a little from its predecessor. The latter
combines definite foot moving potential with
such whimsical lyrics as "tell you I miss you ,
there's no one else I'm dreaming of. all the lips
that kiss me are no match for your fever touch",
"Wint!'r on Ice" almost made me giggle with
"call me a liar, you know you may pe right, but
there's no time for the boredom you inspire",
which I'm sure some one must have said about
me at some point. "Luminous" combines the
Spinanes abstract lyrical merits along with excellent technical ability, leaving me "sparkling
and tongue-tied", much as the song suggests.
Those prone to soul-searching and slowly drifting guitar chords should adore this song.

I've beeh hearing a large amount of misinformation revolving around the new Star
Wars films in the works. I've done a lot of research on the n.et, and I believe I can successfully clear upjust about everyone of til em. As
far as news on the. next trilogy, information is
somewhat sketchy. What is known for certain
is thanhe.films are prequels, not sequels (as in
taking place ·before the first Star Wars film),
There has been no confirm:jtion that the scripts
for the three movies (that will be shot at the
same time) have even been completed. But
once they are, Lucas says it will take "a year to
prep, a year to shoot, and aboutsix months for
post-production." You may have seen the
script Fall of the Republic floating aro.und the
net that is claiming to be the actual script for
the first Star Wars film. Lucasfilm dismisses
this treatment by "John Flynn" to be nothing
more than fan-fiction. Lucas plans to write the
first drafts of the scripts himself.

in the original three films. Lucas plans to use ·
no-name actors to fill the new rolls. The only
characters we may even recognize are Yoda,
young Anakin Skywalker, and young Obi-Wan
Kenobi. It is also confirmed thatJohn Williams
will compose the score (or at least he plans to).
Anything else you've heard about the plot
(~lone wars, Boba Fett as a child, rise of the Emperor), are all rumors and nothing is confirmed.
What is the progress with the filming?
Word is that l,ucasfil~ is'Cl!rrently in the prep
stages of filming. This means test reels, special effects experiments, models, plans. In an '
interview ·with Jim Morris in August of 1994,
he stated that "We're preparing for huge volume as well as new types of work. George will
be p'ushing the effects envelope on this ... "
Geogre himself says he plans the first of the
three prequels to be released in early 1998.
On the more immediate h.orizon is the rerelease of the first Star Wars film. Star Wars
- SpeCial Edition will utilize' recent breakthroughs in computer graphiCS developed at
jurassic Park. This technology will be used to
create moving, breathing creatures within the
city of Mos Eisley outside the cantina and in
the Tatooine Dunes, as well as a host of new
vehicles and droids. Perhaps the most anticipated addition to the re-release is theJabba the
Hutt outtake filmed back in 1976 with Han
Solo. A computer animated Jabba the Hutt
will be added over the slimy, overweight man
used in the original outtake. The new work will
add approxim;ltely four minutes to the film .
Star Wars -Special Edition will be remastered in the soundtrack, and riew digital
special effects wiIl be added to the film. The X·
wing battle at the end is supposed to be one of
the most enhanced sections of the film in spe·
cial effects. Production on this re-release has
been in the works since fall of 1994. The reo
release is scheduled for the weekend before
Memorial Day in 1997, exactly 20 years after
it's initial release (gad, has it been that long?).
In May of 1994, Lucas mentioned being inter·
ested in having special editions for each of the
three original films.
