my stomach. I tried to ignore it

seemed like an eternity, my eyes
darting back and forth at the
various objects which lay around
me; hairbrushes, toothbrushes,
soaps, cups, and even an Archie

that I couldn't stand it any longer.

One night during the week before
Halloween, a homeless Evergreen student was
forced to withdraw from C-Iot by Westside
towing, at the behest of Public Safety. The
student, Don Lowe, immediately tendered a
check to Westside to redeem his vehicle, which
had been hooked to their tow-truck.
The following d~y he stopped payment on
the check. Soon thereafter his vehicle, which
was currently registered for C-Iot, was
reimpounded by Westside-while Lowe was in
class. This action compounded his
homelessness, and was ofquestionable legality.
It was also facilitated by Public Safety, who
called Westside, on standing request, to inform
them of Lowe's vehicle's presence.
Don Lowe began living in hi.s van on C-Iot
over the past spring quarter. Although there is
a specific habitation policy that prohibits the
unauthorized use of college premises for
residence, this policy is not regularly enforced,
and squatting is not uncommon. Lowe
remained on Clot for all of spring quarter. He
also stayed there for the first month of fall
quarter without incident.
On October 24, a Public Safety officer
discovered Lowe asleep in his vehicle. He was
awakened and informed of his habi ta tion
violation, and asked to leave. According to
Public Safety, Lowe refused, citing a lack of
options. He was warned· that if he did not
voluntarily leave, Public Safel)'would have him
removed.
The following night Public Saf~ty again
found Lowe sleeping in C-Iot. He wa s again told
to leave. According both to Lowe and to Public
Safety, this encounter was less civil than that
of the night before. Lowe contends that the
Public Saf~ty officer involved was
inappropriately antagonistic. Larry Savage
says the same of Lowe, attributing to him the
use of the epithet 'fascist bitch' in confrontation
with the attending officer,
Savage maintains that Public Safety is
lenient .in its enforcement of the habitation
policy, allowing students leeway: especially at
the beginning of quarters, and that officers are
instructed to ascertain that students suspected
of habitation violation are actually asleep
before disturbing them. Don Lowe reported
that the safety officer informed him of this

Art Costantino, ViCe President for
Stude~t Affairs, who is currently serving as
Interim supervisor of Public Safety, has also
taken up the task of collecting student and
community input into the forum as to
whether or not Public Safety should be
allowed to carry firearms as a part of their
standard operating procedures on campus.
Constantino sees his role in this debate
serving both students and the concerns of the
officers. "I see myself doing two things," tie
stated, summarizing what [ hear from the
campus and sharing that with Jane (Jervis,
President of the College) so that she can share
it with the Board (ofTrustees), and then also
making a specific recommendation
concerning this_"The recommendations will
also incorporate the viewpoints of Brian
Coppedge and AmyLyn Ribera, Student
Representatives to the Board ofTrustees.
There has already been one forum
on November 30 to collect input from the
campus and answer questions concerning
Neil McClanahan's recommendations for
Public Safety operations. Costantino was
pleased with the way the discuss.ion was
conducted_ Keeping in mind that the subject
of guns is a "very emotional issue for a lot of
individuals", he appreciated the fact that the
participants kept the issues general and did
not personalize the issues. He also liked the
fact that all perspectives w~re Listened to and
considered_
In order to incorporate both the
student's varying perspectives and his own
views, Costantino is keeping several questions
in mind. Do incidents on campus warrant

Safety officers, Costantino again pointed out
that guns are already present on the campus,
and that it is purely a "matter of speculation"
as to the potential increase of weapons as a
result of armed officers.
Housing resident's feelings should
be given special consideration in
Constantino's eyes because they
inhabit the campus 24 hours a day.
"Their situation is a little bit
different , most of the problems I
think we have are in the evening hours. " The
campus can change in the evening hours, and
Costantino hopes that students in Housing
will make their thoughts about firearms
known through the forums and other means
of feedback.
Costantino's main point of concern
was that the community, no matter what the
decision, feels safe and comfortable dealing
wit!1 Public Safety. "People have to be
comfortable calling when they are in danger",
he said. But the safety of both the students,
faculty, and staff as well as the officers, who
are placed in sometimes dangerous situations,
must be considered_
There will be two more forums for
community input concern ing firearms, one on
January 23 in CAB 110 and one on January 24
in CAB 108_ Both discussions will last from
12 noon to 1:30 pm. Surveys will also be sent

Considering that Public Safety can

Costantino wants th e community to think
about who they want to have control of these
weapons. If Public Safety officers were armed ,
they wo'Uld have the benefit of being under
college control and receive supervision and
training from inside, or having outside officers

As most NFL fans already know, the Raiders'
and Rams left Los A.ngeles without pro football this
sea~o n a'nd theBrowns announced they' ;u:eIeaving
Cleveland after almost half a century there. The
Houston Oilers are headed to Nashville where they

bitterly opposing that move.
The Bears are being wooed by Ga.ry, Indiana,
just a stone's throw from Chicago but far enough.
The Sea hawks are poised to vault into the void left

What the hell is going on here?
Football fans have had a hard time adjusting
to the revolving door of free agency. with players
changing teams about as often as Dennis Rodman
changes his hair co lor. But when teams start
changingCITIES as well as players, th*,s ridiculous.
Why support your local team?They might be

over a period of years, wa tching th e birth of
dynasties and the cycles of growth and decay that
are a part of every team. Except the 4gers (they're
always good).
One of the best things about sport is the
eternal hope of a true fan. No matter how woefu l
your team may have been, one could always look
to the future. So many seasons, so ma ny drafts.

arrival ofa superstar player, and boom, your loyalty
is rewarded. You were there all along. you watched
the pieces put together, you know how fantastic it
must feel for those players to win it all because you
shared their growing pains from the very beginning.
It must be great to be a real Dallas Cowboy
fan. I'm not talking about the bandwagoneers, l'm
talking about someone who endured their 1-1~
outing in 1989 and wa tched Jimmy Johnson

That's one of the great thrills of sports; observing

It's a grim day in theNational Football League
when a flagship fr.anchise steeped in history, such
as the Browns, turns its back on ardent supporters
and follows a trail of dollar signs elsewhere. The
irony is that Baltimore, their new home, is needy
because in 1984 they had their own team stolen in
th e dead of night.
Cleveland's fans have proven year after year
thatthey provide as much support for their ballclub
as an owner could possiblyas.kfor. The Browns have
never won a Super Bowl. yet their attendance and
fan intensity are perennially among the greatest in
the league. That is possibly the worst thing about
owner Art Modell's move. Fans no longer believe
that if they pack their stadiums, even in lean times,
they will keep th eir franchises. It doesn't matter
what we do, we have no say in whether we have the
"privilege" of paying big bucks to see NFLfootball.
Those Brown s fa ns who have patiently

This could get comical. There is a rumor
that the Bengals will jump to Cleveland and trade
names with the Browns. That would mean this
year's Bengals would be' called the Browns and
the former-Browns wo~ld now be the Bengals.
If that isn't absurd I don't know what is.
The Seahawks' charm ing Cali fo rni a
owners, the Behring clan, want C! new stadIUm
or major improvements to the adm ittedly
embarrassing Kingdome. The Mariners had to
have one of the most enterta.ini ng seaso ns 111
baseball history to win a new stadium in Seattle.
What are the chances of the SeaSchlQcks, who
just lost to the pitiful Jets, persuading tax-payers
to shell out that kind of money for them?
Ken Behring has never produ ced a good
team in Seattle. Right now most fa ns fig ure
they'l\ get to warch more football ifhe packs up
his mediocre bal\c\ub and takes them elsewhere.
You miss good games when the Seahawks pl,ay
on the road, and get to see notlllngwhen they re
blacked out every week at home.
It's sad , beca use. th e support of the
Mariners proved that Seattle can produce some
serious fan enthusiasm. Butthe Behrings are put
to shame by owners like Eddie DeBartolo ofSan
Francisco and Jerry Jones in Dallas, committed
men willing to do whatever it takes to reach the
top and stay there. They produce teams every
yearthat are well worth watching. They produce
dram a.
If the Seahawks do leave, we'll have to pay
twice as much to attract another fra nchise as it
would take to ke~p Ken l,3 ehrin&,here. W i ~h the
huge offers made by Baltimore and St. LoUIS. full
of payments fo r "moving expenses" and free
stadium leases, the market has been driven
through the roof. Acity has to sell its soul to get
a team, because that seems to be the going rate.
We might as well rule out ever havll1g another
NFL franchise because the cost would make the
Behrings' demands look like pocket change.
NFL teams are manipulating their fans to
maxim ize ·their own profit. A loophole has been
discovered. It has been proven that teams can
get away with aband onin g th eir cities for
fabulous' oifeers from other regions. Once the
door is open, why shouldn't all the owners take
advantage?
.

In th e old days, franchise shifts were
forbidden. Always a renegade,AI Davis took tl~e
NFL to court and won the fight to make hiS
unprecedented move in relocatingthe Raiders
to Los Angeles.. He could have no Idea that be
was opening such proverbial Pando'ra's Box.
Looking back, the L.A. move was probably a
mistake, and the silver and black are back in
Oakland where they belong, His great victory in
1982 must seem hollow now.
Davis' courtroom success stripped th e
league of its ability to stop franchise defections.
Since then we've seen the Baltimore Colts start
over in Indianapolis (1984) and th e SI. LOUIS
Rams flee to Phoenix (1988). Baltimore was one
of the NFL's most passionate fanbases, and are
on the other side of the stick in the Cleveland
Browns' fiasco. They certainly deserve a t eam,
but of all people they should know that thiStype
of franchise piracy is wrong.
Ultimately, only the fat cat owners benefit
fro m a "musical ch airs" syndrome that is
threatening to divorce the NFL from tradition
entirely.

BY LEIGH A. DETWEILER
By 6:30 a,m. last Friday, December I ,
apprOximately 20 forest activists were already
on the Forest Service road that leads to the
Caraco Cat timber sale. They intended to offer
the loggers breakfast in return for taking the
day off. The sale that they planned on cutting
is the first 318 sale to go down in the Olympic
National Forest.
318 sales are timber sales th at were
previously planned and then dropped because
of endangered species issues. In other words,
these areas were protected as habitat for the
Northern Spot ted Owl and the Marbled
Murrerer. Unfortunately, the "salvage" rider,
which was attached to the Recessions Bill ,
passed in July of1995 releases these sales. Now
they are allowed to be cut. These sales, which
are no longer protected, are exempt from all
established environmental laws, and the public
is barred from all comment and appeal righ ts.
The re are nin e 318 sales in the Olympic
Na tional Forest, and innumerable others in
Washington and Oregon.
The intent of the action was not to create
conflict with the loggers or the company, but
to draw attention to the "salvage" rider. So,
they set up a refreshment table in front of the
gate, and offered fresh coffee and homemade
muffins to the loggers, Forest Service officials,
and the media. The activists were able to have
several excellent corivers"ations with the owner
of the company and were pleased with the
.outcome of the dllY.
The company that owns the timber rights
to this sale is locally owned and operated , and
all of the logs will stay on th e OlympiC
Peninsula . Although there are no
environmental laws that they aie required to
follow, the owner traded riparian and wet areas
for drier areas in between two of the' units.
The ultimat e goal of the continued
outreach, education and direct action is the
repeal of this so called "salvage" rider. The
District Ranger told the activists that they were
in the wrong arena, and illegal actions will not
do them any good. Howeve r, people are
prevented from access in the courts, and
therefore, must take direct action. At one time,
women were not allowed to vote, and people
owned other humans. People not only spoke
out, but acted out to end th ese injustices.
Opponents of this extremely destructive
law believe th at sa lvage wrongly im pli es
positive management practices. The science
that provides foundatio n for this claim is
industry sponsored and dubious at best. The
large timber corporation s pushed this law
through Congress, and now the last 5%of our
native for.~ sts have to pay th e price_ Local
activist Serena Ayers proclaimed. "They have
taken away our rights ih make decisions about
the (mis)fortune of our public lands. We will
persist un til Congress repeals this law."
If you are interested in finding out I)lore
information on th e "salvage" rider and 318
sales. or go to the Environm ental Resource
Center. The E.R.c. has meetings every Tuesday
at 5:30 p.m.

What's dlis? Seven pink bicycles all in a row?
"WhQ's bicycles are these and why are they

individuals who desire to be involved in and
affect their local community has set out on a
mission : to supply 'Olympia with a fleet of
community bikes to be used within and without
the heart ofthe city.
Based on Portland's successful Yellow Bike
Program, the bicycles would be located
throughout downtown Olymp"ia, unlocked and
free for anyone to use at any time. DeSignated
.and recognizable racks wOl,l ld corral the
. "freewheels" while they await their next rider.
"This program is not just about advocacy.
.It's about education. It's about turning people on
to the practical recreation of the biCycle," says
Mike Cobb, longtime Bike Library volunteer.
What petter way to accomplish this than make
bikes available to everyone? .
Library volunteers are busy preparing for
the first bike release scheduled for late Spring.
As donated jpnker bikes are being collected,
parted, and tuned, a proposal is in progress. The
proposal outlines the program specifics and
requests the cooperation and support of the
. community.
.
And finally -why pink? With the help of
the Thurston County Hazardous Wa ste
department, Library volunteers will be using
paint materials that have been preViously
discarded. The colors white and red are

are they recycling old bikes, they're recycling old

be_ I have heard the argument from many
non-Indians that they who are born on this
continent are either indigenous or at least ,
entitled to the identity and the land of the truly
indigenous people. Let me give you a reason
that non-Indians may feel this way - it's called
institutionalized racism! Since the time any
of us (Indian and non-Indian alike) went to
public schbol we have been taught lies about
the land and people of this continent.
" By the i850s, U.S. policy makers had
adopted a popular . philosophy called
"Manifest Destiny" by which they imagined
themselves enjoying a divinely ordained right
to possess all native property .... " [Ward
Churchill]
Cultural sensitivity is of the utmost
importance, and in order to achieve cultural
sensitivity you need to deprogram yourself.
You have no entitlement to any of our
indigenous ways, whether you have had a
dream or you think your sometime violent
images are healing. You have no right to
borrow anything from our indigenous culture.
I would not be so bold to say that I am entitled
to the culture of any other tribe and I am
indigenous to this land and I was born here!
The difference is I do not give lip-service to
having respect for other nations I show respect.
I would only participate in another culture as
long as I had .permission from the traditional
Elders of that nation. Consider what I have
said, I have a lot more to say, and wish I could
get every non-Indian to understand the
dynamic rOTes that insensitivity and ignorJlnce
play in keeping people polarized. Considering
your Amerikkkan history that continues to this
day. Can you not understand the desire to
remain separate?

is sues of subtle racism and cultural
insensitivity. I have been actively struggling
against these issues in seminar discussions,
my work at the CPJ, and personal
conversations with other Evergreen students.
Needless to say, as the person solely
responsible for la st week's headline
proceeding Giles O'Dell's letter in defence of
his comic A.K.A. False Face, I realized my error
and feel that the inappropriateness of this
headline was justly pointed out by LisaNa Red
Bear in this issue of the CPJ. Without any
attempt to justify' my mistake 1 will simply
aqd that my decision to use such a headline
was, as usual, to capture the attention of
potential readers as well as the essence of the
article following it 11 was not intended to
value or devalue either side of the argument
it represented. Mrs. Red Bear's letter ha s
reminded me of the sensitivity, as well as
creativity, I need to exercise when writing
future headlines. This incident has also served
to remind me that despite the attention I give
to issues ofrace andlor culture there is still
more I need to see . My most sin ce re
apologies.

-What happens
after graduation?
Did you recently receive your graduation
packet from Registration and Records? If you
are a senior, chances are you probably did. For
some of you, this may have created a feeling
of panic-with two quarters to go, it may
seem very unsettling to start planning for
graduation and Ufe After Evergreen. Don't
clutch, though, as there is still time to develop
a plan if you have not already done so. Perhaps
the scare of applying now to graduate from
Evergreen this June is a good thing and will
provide the catalyst needed to take action
instead of trying to ignore that persistent,
an xiety-provoking undercurrent of worry
about the future .
Fortunately, you do not have to figure
everything out on your own. The Career
Development Center, located in Library 1407,
is here to help you with your life planning,
whether that means graduate school, th e job
search or developing long-term goals. We
know th e tran sition fr om Eve Fpree n and
college life to the "real world ' can be a
frightening and confusing prospect, and we
are available to help you gail) clarity and to
make this process less intimidating.
So, if you're wondering wh ether or not
an internship would be a good idea or if it's
time to start th e job search or eve n if you
should graduate right now, please come down
and see us. Or, if you have no idea about what
you want to do, you may benefit from career
coun selin g. We offer individual ca ree r
counseling appointm ent s as well as selfassessment workshops like Discovery to assist
in this process. Please contact our office for
information andlor appointments. Our
extension is 6193.
Remember, although this may seem like
a frightening time in your life, it can also be
very exciting and fun. There are so many
options available, so many possibilities; with planning and perseverance, the sky's the limit.

WRI1E AlOOf!
by Bryan Frankenseuss
Theiss
Aeon Flux. the morally ambiguous assassin -protagonist of Peter Chung's
hyperstylized animated series of the same
name. is all about movement. She uses her
spidery limbs like graceful pogo sticks to
vault away from ma chine gun fire. handspring into enemies or leap through webs of
deadl y laser
beams. At the
series' most feveri sh
moments, the camera flails around
like Sam Raimi
on caffeine and
Aeon's heroic theme music blasts in the background. As creator/director/writer Chung
would tell you, Aeon is purely cinematic. So
it's kind of odd to make a picture book about
her.
Aeon Flux; The Herodotus File ca n be
found in the graphic novel section of most
bookstores, but it's not a comic book. Designed to fold together like a top secret file ,
the book tells a s~ory through memos, transcripts, magazine clippings and security photos. This sort offormilt has been used before
but it's definitely an interesting idea for fleshing out the worlds that stories such as Aeon's
take place in.
This particular story centers around
Trevor Goodchild, who on the series is Aeon 's
arch-nemesis/part-time-Iover. While the series doesn't seem to maintain a defini tive continuity, this is a sort of prequel because it details Trevor and Aeon's first meeting. Trevor
is the chairman of Bre.gna and in order to
maintain power he mllst eraSe history - he
doesn't want the people to know that Bregna
and its enemy Monica were once one country. A radical group known as the Berognican
Reunification Movement threatens to reveal
this secret, so he hires Aeon to assassinate its
members. Trevor is clearly attracted to Aeon, but
he tries not to act on his feelings since he is planning to kill her after she finishes her mission .
Series writers Mark Mars and Eric Singer
know their characters well. Both Aeon and
Trevor seem like real people and here their personalities ca n be glimpsed behind their actions.
There is also a supporting cast of bizarre, gimmicky new characters (like Ludivigo Opineet, a
saboteur/puppeteer who
once blew off two of his
fingers but luckily was
born wit,h seven. fingers
on that hand). Much like
on the series, they are colorful enigmas who rear
their heads for a bit and
then disappear, never again to be seen.
The storyline sinks even further into the
depths of perversion than MTV allows the series to, but it's definitely in the same spirit.
Trevor's plans in the final act are even more devious than usual, and so are Aeon's. And like the.
show, it doesn't logically connect to other Aeon
stories. There are references to the mystery disease that Trevor caused and cured in Aeon's fust
season on Liquid Television, but since Aeon died
and went to heaven at the end of that story, this
cou ldn 't possibly take place 011 the same
timeline.
The only major difference between the tone
of Herodotus and the TV series come's from the
format . While certain segments are obviously
designed to appeal to the audience's voyeuristic
tendencies, they still have to read about the characters instead of just watch. Fans who see the
show as a purely visual experience may be disappointed by this, but for less passive fans who
like to piece together information it really works.
The story is thought out well enough that it is
pqssible to half-way convince yourself that you
are really looking through somebody's confidential files and finding out the truth.
Still, the book is not without weaknesses.

mayor may not be cheap. As y'all know there
is not much out there in and around the everso-diverse Olympia area with regards to food
choice and diversity. The "All American City"
title doesn't make up for this dilemma. What
the hell does All American City mean or imply
anyway?
I thought I'd do this little piece to give
folks an idea of where to get good vegetarian/
vegan/food (if you haven't figured it out already). We are confined to the three or four
places that serve non meat items and the ridiculous curfew-like behavior of businesses
who close by 9:00pm, sometimes earlier! So we
end up foraging for a place to study or hang
out after hours (lO:OOpm) and end up sitting
at Shari's, drinking acidic coffee and eating
oiled down goods. So the point is-I've eaten
out often ancfhavewanted to share some of my
finds with others as this seems to be a common
complaint.
The first place I would like to suggest is
the Pleasant Peasant-113 Wert 4th Ave across
from Santosh, (formerly Sarah's Kitchen which
catered to people with thick wallets and the
food was not so exciting to me), but this place
does really nice stuff. Mostly all organic, fresh,
different and the prices are reasonable (a relative term depending on your wallet), but I have
found the cuisine to be very good. Some items
can seem a bit pricey especially if you eat fish
and shell creatures. Those are the only animal
items they deal wlth so you "brand new" veg-
" a bit more at ease
etarians and vegans can feel
as to what has been in the pots and pans!
Breakfast has been a big favorite of mine
and my traveling food c:ompaniof)/critic
(TBA). There is a great $3.95 Breakfast Burrito
with black beans,onions, sprouts, sour cream
(soy on request), and scrambled eggs(tofu -.50
cents extra and potatoes .40 cents). This is
not an "authentic" burrito that you would find
way down south, but a good gringo rendition
and it is not puny. Also the $2.95 vegan "Biscuits and Gravy" with rosemary is pretty cool.
That title-"biscuits" makes me feel like I'm eating at a greasy truck stop off the 5 freeway
somewhere between Bakersfield and Arvin
Cal., but the ingredients and taste are far from
it. The dessert menu rocks- Rice Dream
shakes, cookies, pies, etc. I have to recommend
the vegan Cardamom Cake for $3.10. It is a
bit more expensive than some places, but the
ingredients are way better and it's a huge slice.
It was so big that the leftovers offered me a ride
home afterwards. They have daily specials,
coffee, good soup and a great atmosphere.
Their phone is 705-3645.
My search for great, inexpensive food
continues. Where I'll end up is unknown.
Next time-Ethiopian, Mexican Of Thai. I am
looking for tips to great places, so let me know.
A&EEditor'snote: The preceding article was submitted to us in mid-November. However, the incompetence ofthe CPJ editors is rivaled only by
that ofLord Zed and Rita Repulsa, the bumbling
villains on TVs Mighty Morphin Power Rangers.
We would like to apologize for the belated appearance of this article. Precautions wiJI be

and even work well out of context. The lyrics
are both hwnorous and sentimental, so they
can be' taken seriously as traditional Whoville
Christmas carols.
One of my personal favorites is "Trim Up
The Tree, " because it's like a primer on
Whoville Christmas customs. It asklS you to
decorate your house with various Seussian ornaments (like pantookas and fuzzle wuzzles)
and even "trim up your pets." Hague conceived
it as the first ever Christmas polka, and its odd
but natural sound is perfe~t for Seuss' world.
"You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch," is arguably the best song of Seus( career. The Iyrics are full of delicious descriptions and wonderful new words - the Grinch is compared to
"a three decker saurkraut and toadstool sandwich with arsenic sauce" and declared "the king
of sinful sots." And with the song's impossibly
deep vocals by Thurl Ravenscroft (whose voice
can also be heard on many Disneyland rides
and coming out of the mouth of Tony the Tiger) it sounds even better on your stereo than
it does on your TV. Ravenscroft's voice was a
big part of The Grineh's appeal, and when he
wasn't creditted on the special Seuss himself
wrote a number of national columnists and
asked them to publicize Ravenscroft's name.
It's unfortunate that this soundtrack album
doesn't credit him either, but whether or not
people know his name the song is still the highlight of the album. .
.
Ifyou would like to Jivethe full-fledged Dr.
Seuss lifestyle, then this album is a must-have.
It's an excellent substitute' for unimaginitive
Christmas tunes and at the same time it's a
chance to have Boris Karloff read you a bedtime
story written- y Dr. Seuss and bac ed-up by a
full orchestra and choir. How can you pass up
an opportunity like that?
