There's been talk about spirits at Evergreen. Maybe
you've heard some ofthe talk about the ghost who lives in the
Library Building, or our spe~ial celebrity ghost in Mod-Land.
With all the ghosts on campus, you would think it would
be easy to find someone.willing to talk about their ghostly
experiences. Maybe it has something to do with the stigma .
attached to admitting you believe in ghosts. Maybe it was fear
of attracting ghosts to themselves.
Sam Day was willing to talk. He didn't talk about any
personal experiences with spirits of any kind, but he related
the tale ofTirn Stone.
According to Day, Stone and a friend were on the first
floor of the Library Building one night.

"They were by the elevator and the door just opened,"
said Day. "They both said they felt something cold just walk
by. They were crying and ran back to the house."
The experience was so traumatic that Stone "didn't
want to come back after that. He wanted to leave campus,"
said Day, "But he doesn't feel like that badly now."
Day said, "And that they were sober Iwhich] makes it
even freakier."
A representative from Maintenance said, "It probably

If student representation at public forums is truly
indicative of student sentiment, then The Evergreen State
College wants a strong athletic program.
Forty students and a handful offacuity and staff attended
Wednesday's public forum on the future of sports at Evergreen
hosted by Art Costantino, Vice President of Student Affairs.
Students at the forum' were overwhelmingly in favor of
the switch and adding new sports. Thirty of the students raised
their hands when asked if they were currently involved in the
sports program.
"What's motivating this review lof the sports program]
is what's happening in our conference and the changes that are
going on there," said Costantino.
The National Association of Intercollegiate Ath letics
(NAIA), under which Evergreen's two teams, swimming and
soccer, are affiliated is changing. Teams are switching from the
NAIA league. leaving no one left for Evergreen to compete with.
Costantino is considering making a recommendation to
President Jervis that the college switch to the National
Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), eith er division II or
III, to allow the college to continue to compete in intercollegiate
athletics.
According to a memo from Costantino directed to the
Evergreen community, without making the switch to NCAA the
swimmin g team would not be able to compete.
One provision ofjoining the NCAA is that the college must
acquire two additional sports teams. The NCAA requires that
member colleges have two team and two individual sports.
Swimming is considered an individual and soccer a team sport.
Costantino conducted a straw poll of which sports students
would want added. Basketball and tennis were the majority's
choice.
Volleyball, which isolfered only for women, also received strong

Drew Kerslake, an Evergreen student,
has taken upon himself the duty of nighttime
F-Iot security vigilante because, he says, he
can't afford not to.
Staking out in undisclosed F-Iot territory
with a sheriff's badge pinned to his counterfeit
police shirt, he spends many a night sacrifiCing
. his study-time to protecfhis possession.
His possession, once a virtually spotless
Volkswagen Sciroeco, no longer resembles a
car. but a carcass. It sits in F-Iot perched on
cinder blocks with smashed mirrors, a hole in
the dashboard, a garbage bag for a front
passenger window, a busted rear bumper and
four bare, rusted brake drums hovering above
the glass-specked blacktop-that's right, the
wheels were purloined too.
The estimated damage to his car after three
accounts of theft and vandalism is now over
$3,600. He has no theft insurance. He has no job,
no financial aid and lives off $100 a month. He
believes the school should help him out with the
costs, but says it's unlikely.
Initially, Kerslake missed three days of

Gary Russell,
Chief of Public
Safety, said that
Public Safety is

where people will
be properly trained and paid for surveillance
of Evergreen lots. The program has not yet
been pursued because of the temporary
understaffing of Public Safety, said Russell.

every night "keeping watch over [his] flock.
"I have to sleep in the afternoon so I can
stay up and watch my car. .. ! can't sit by and
have every penny drained from my pocket
because I have my car parked out there ," he
said.
Ivan Donohue is an example of how
effective Kerslake's "do it yourself" security
policy can be. Last winter, after his car was
broken into four times in the span ofonly three
months, Donohue unexpectedly spotted a
couple kids messing around with his car. He
then proceeded to drag one of them to his
apartment and called security to have him
arrested . The other kid escaped. but only
temporarily.
Donohue said that he doesn 't blame
security for hi s F·Iot troubles because they
can't afford to patrol 24 hours, seven days a
week.
Another victim of F-lot thievery, Joe
Carino, said that he doesn't blame security
either. "They're probably hard working, but
you can only do just so much with a couple
people [on duty] ." A stereo was stolen from
his car a week from last Saturday. He said his

Freedom fighter speaks
at Evergreen

Everyone makes mistakes, even the CPj. In fact, last
week mistakes in three stories were pointed out to us, and
now is tim e to set things straight.
The first of story, UNo students at student forum s,"
stated that Evergreen may have two new sports teams next
fall. This information is incorrect, as the changes will not
come next year but sometime in the future.
In the analysis of the one-act play Whatever Gets
You Through The Day, it was in correctly stated that thl'
pl ay was shown Wednesday. It was actually on Thursday.
La stl y, it was in correc tl y stated in the articl e
"S tudents turn to individual co ntracts but find la ck or
support" that Linnea Wolfbeli eved th e program "Political
Economy and Social Chan ge" would include Middle
Eastern studi es. She kn ew prior to enroll ing th at PESC
would not address th e Middle East.
Also in this story, it was stated that Wolf's cont ract
sponsor is the academi c dean, Jose Gomez. Whil e Jose
does "rea lize the importance of having Middle Eastern
faculty on staff, " John Filmer is actually Wolf's contract
sponsor.
We apologize for any inco nvenience th ese mistakes
may have caused.

About 350 people came out to celebrate
the farm worker sponsored boycott against
Chateau St. Michele and to welcome United
F:urn Workers co-founder Dolores Huerta last
Friday,
After a fiesta complete with boisterous live
music, bountiful food and spontaneous
dancing, Huerta offered her reflections about
her 33 y~ars in the farm workers movement.
The crowd rose when she walked onto the
stage, not out of forced obedience like in a
judge's chambers, but out ofgenuine respect.
Before she spoke, she remembered to thank
the workers in the kitchen.
Like all great leaders, her words were not
marred with cynicism. Her speech bubbled
with optimism and her beliefin the power of
people. In the face of the immense power of
growers, she continues to believe that people
X. are good and that we can make change~ in the
face of impossibility.
.
In her optimism, she did not ignore the
realities of the farm workers situation_
"We know that the root cause of
discrimination against farm workers is racist,"
said Huerta. In 1935, when tJte US Congress

United Farm Workers co-founder
Dolores Heurta spoke on May 10.
approved the National Labor Relations Act that
allowed collective bargaining specifically
excluded farm workers because they were
Mexican_
'
Her words about the attempt to erode the
advances'. of Affirmative Action were severe.
She criticized calls the for ending Affirmative
Action as racist.
She also warned Washingtonians to stand
strong against a movement to put a law on the
books like California's proposition 164.

Even so. he's leery of young kids who pack
weapons when they come on campus looking
for trouble.
Kerslake said his window got smashed
out the day after his wheels were ripped off
and his bumper and mirror were destroyed,
"showing they beefed up security since I wrote

he said.
Russell said officers patrol Evergreen
parking lots every half hour on average and
sometimes more frequently. But. he said,
statistics get skewed when there's a special
case going on in other parts of the campus and
the two or three officers on duty temporarily
cannot patrol the lots.
Kerslake's statistics are not akin to those
of Public Safety. In the ten or 11 days he has
staked out. patrol cars have frequented the lot
every two hours on average. said Kerslake.

support at the forum. Asuggestion was made that
if sports were added, that volleyball replace
basketball for women. In order to continue to
receive some state funding, all athletic
offerings must be gender balanced.
Student Dave Hutchinson responded
to questions of what sports add to the
community. "It adds diversity," he said.
Other students attending the forum
responded similarly, each telling what
sports at Evergreen had done for them.
Several students from the soccer team said
they wouldn't have chosen Evergreen if it
weren't for sports.
"It's surprising how many art students
are athletes. Art is an expression of an
amazing human ability. and so is athletics,"
said Faculty Member Paul Sparks.
Costantino claims that approximately
$15.000 will be saved in the switch to the

May 6 he noticed security had not shown
up in F-Iot between 11:15 pm and 2:25 am.
"That's enough time for my grandpa to take
all four wheels off a car and sit down and have
a larte." he said.
Kerslake also said that it isn't fair that the
school wants to raise the cost of parking. "We
ca n't pay for it if we're get.ting robbed out
there." Kerslake is not living on campus next
year solely because of the parking lot problem.
Russell said part of security's problem is
that it has been short on officers because of a
long term plan to convert Public Safety to a
state agency. Of the seven officers at Public
Safety, two have been sent off for law
enforcement training at a time, leaving only
five officers, one full time security person, and
one half time security person to patrol the
school campus and fill in where extra help is
needed.
Of the many reasons Evergreen is such a
common target for crime, says Russell, is the
NCAA through a lower membership fee and
the fact that NCAA pays part of the insurance
which NAIA does not. This money will be
used to finance the two additional sports
required by the switch, said Costantino,
Some in the audience were skeptical.
One person requested a detailed report of
how the money was spent. Costantino said
that the budget was available and he would
share it with any interested parties.
No final decision has been made
regarding the switch, and Costantino said
that there are many variables and the
situation with leagues are always changing.
The decision is likely to be made over the
summer, when students are traditionally not
on campus . .
He requests that people e-mail him with
any comments you might have at

fact that i have never in my columns addressed
the idea of "reverse" oppression (i.e. sexism
against men, racism against white people,
dassism against economically privileged people,
etc ... ).

REVOLUTION,
Hollander did not know of any spirits
actually on the Evergreen campus, but he lived
in a Cooper's Glen apartment which housed
many spirits.
"The house I lived in, that I had ghosts
at," said Hollander, "We were all pushing the
limits of our minl;ls a little bit. As you break
these barriers [in your mind), you are tapping
new resources of mental energy.
"It's when you let your eyes get out of the
way," Hollander continued, "that you get these
synchronicities, poltergeists, whatever."
Hollander told offeelingghosts sit on the
couch with him. A feeling many visitors to his
apartment also felt. Things would disappear
completely and reappear weeks later right in a
person's doorway.
While Hollander believes ghosts
originate in the mind, he does see how there
could be something to be said for hauntings
being residual energy; things left over from
other peQple. But Hollander is sure of olle
thing, "Ghosts are not dead people."

"It had been mentioned to me that the
very upper part of the clock tower," said Juli
Kelen, Volunteer and Training Manager at
KAOS Olympia 89.3 FM. "The part you can't
get into without a key. I heard it's haunted.
"It's been a long time since the steam
tunnels have been opened," Kelen continued,
"but I have heard of people hearing and seeing
weird things down there."
Kelen does not believe or disbelieve these
rumors. She like many people, just has not had
much experience with the top of the clock

have experience with is KAOS.
"KAOS is not haunted," she says. "We

BABY

BY NOMY LAMM
not that it actuaUy slipped my mind, to tell
the truth. i was ignoring it, hoping that everyone wouLd already understand the basic political framework i'm working in... hoping that everyone would understand the context of my writing without me explicitly defining it. well, now
that i've been writing this column for almost a
year i realize that's a stupid assumption. i've been
told before that i often throw around terms, make
assumptions without clarifYing, and that that
makes my column "impossible to understand:

so i guess maybe my last column is another example.
isaid:
"i also think that (for example) as a woman
it's okay for me to make man-hating jokes. and
this is very different than men making misogynist jokes- do i even have to reiterate this?"
how could i be reiterating what i'd never
actually said?
i went on to explain a little bit, but not
enough, obviously. in his critique of that statement and my crappy explanation, reynor wrote:
"... sexism is sexism. jokes against people because
of their sex are inappropriate in any situation,
but in particular at evergreen." he also talked
about how "reverse-sexist" (my quotes, not hishe never used this exact term but it was implied)
jokes are hurtful to men, making them feel stupid and unimportant.
my main problem is with the statement
"sexism is sexism." sexism, and oppression in
general. is not this flippety-f1oppety any-whichway kinda thing. more succinctly, it's just not a
two-way street. sexism is a lot bigger than just a
few misogynist jokes and a couple of harassing
remarks- it's a systemlbigger that any of usia
system that teaches us that women are secondary, women are object... and ifwe wanna succeed,
wanna be whole, then we gotta act like/think

like/try to be men. sexism, misogyny, violence
against women, and objectification (not just
sexual) are taught in school, in the work force, in
the-family, in the media, even at evergreen, even
in underground subcultures, even in left-wing
political organizations. sexism exists in economic, political, personal. sexual, societal. psychological, interpersonal and, man, fucking every other realm i could think of or name. it is not
comprised of isolated incidents, it is an experience.
i know that's pretty vague, there's no way
that i could explain a system that creates and supports sexism (or, once again, any other oppression) in my given column space. my main point
is that sexism is not something that can be created or destroyed by individual actions- only
perpetuated, reinforced, or fought against. it has
been built into every aspect of american culture.
it is institutionalized.
i'm sorry, but a few man-hating jokes are
never gonna constitute the oppression of men.
and while i'm honestly sorry ifthey make people
feel bad, i'm not gonna call that sexism. and by
the way, i think that in general i'm prettyufair" in
my dealings with men- i just don't make them
my number one priority like i'm expected to. i
guess i didn't really clarify that i think these "manhating" jokes usually are directed at specific

Finding a place to be queer among other chicano/as
The event: The 22nd Annual National Association of Chicano Studies (NACS). The place:
Spokane, Washington. When? March 29·April
1.1995. Iarrived early on Thursday, one day late.
While registering, I glimpsed a flyer for a lesbiana
caucus. I wondered, could that mean that there
is a jato (gay) caucus? My heart did a flip at the
possibility.
The prospect that there might be other out
gay Chicanos at the conference filled me with joy.
So often, in my experience, gay and Chicano had
never mixed. It seemed that I could either be one
or the other, but certainly not both. And besides
- I didn't have a clue what that looked like. I
had never met or seen an out gay Chicano - or
at least, that's what I thought. After being out for
some time now, I am glad to report that I cari

sociation of Latino Gay Activists and Academicians or NALGA. First I had to laugh at the acronym (in Spanish, nalga means butt). Then I was
ecstatic. I couldn't believe it. My experience with

Chicanos has been mostly characterized by extreme homophobia. Could it be that this conference might be different?
I was so excited to attend the NALGA meeting.
[just wanted to get through all the sessions that day.
Instead, I found myself so engaged in the sessions [
almost forgot about the meeting. Thefirstpaperpresented in the first session dealt with a pioneering gay
Chicano author and focused on identity politics.
"This is fate," I thought. There couldn't have been a
more perfect topic for me at the conference. [ was
wrong, the second session featured a brilliant
Chicana talking about Chicana Queer theory, Two
sessions, in a row, dealing with both Queer issues
and Chicanismo, I couldn't get over it. And the discussion was incredibly stimulating. Later, I would
describe the scene this way: It was like people were
having intellectual orgasms all over the place. It was
that good.

The NALGA meeting: We met and it was great
to see all those faces, such different people, from all
over the country. There was Eric from NeW Mexico,
Victor and RaUl from Texas, Michael, Cesar and
Ondinefrom New York, and Gerardoand Rick from
California. We would spend hours bonding. as it
were, (talking. laughing, eating. etc) at the local
Spaghetti Factory.
The next day, Raul accepted the conference
prize for the best undergraduate paper in full
drag. He was a sight, in his spaghetti string silver
sequence dress. It caused quite a commotion. It
was an incredibly powerful political
statement ,however, so often the Chicana/o community would like to pretend Chicano/a queers
don't exist. That afternoon, someone would slip
a note under RaUl's hotel room door advj.sing him
that it still wasn't to late to repent. Reality check.
On the last night of the conference, the Lesbian
and Gay caucuses decided toget together for a cocktail party. Oh my, it turned into something else. We
should have seen it coming. First, no one could find
anyone else. Somehow. we all ended up taking over
this small gay bar up the street from the conference
hotel. I don't think they'd ever seen so many brown
queer faces in that bar, ever. The bar had to kick us
out. So then someone mentioned a party in some
room nwnber. We poured out ofthe bar and headed
back to the hotel. Our group, including some 30
drunks, meandered back to the hotel and thus began the search for a party.
We went up to the 4th floor. Our group got split
up, we couldn't fit ailQf us in one elevator. After going back and forth for about 15 minutes on that floor,
someone yelled out a roomnumberon the 3rdOlXlr.
So we took the stairs this time. Same scene. So we
tried another room on the 4th floor again. Nothing.
We finally found the party, almost an hour later, on
the 3rd floor. Someone had mixed up the last two
digit~. It was a crazy mess - but I had the time of
my life.
The point: There isn't an abundance of space
forChicana/o queers. Being at the conference, with
aU those other queer Chicanos/as felt so validating.
Again - I'm reiterating the idea that we aU need our
space, especially those of us who have been denied
space for so long. This column is my space to be my
whole self without apologies. Here I am, taking up
physical space in the CPj, worlting my thing. I am
an immigrant who some might call very 'acculturated.' Rather, I think I am simply another creative
version ofcultural adaption. What Iam is an incredible mix of culture and ethnicity: the epitome of a
Chicano/a.

Loggers are being tricked
by timber industry
by Jeff Axel
Contributor

.

In terms of resolving the Endangered
Species Act (ESA), I think everyone is looking
at it wrong. It isn't loggers versus
environmentalists, it is a whole different thing.
It is loggers versus Weyerhaeuser/Scott Paper/
James River. And then there are the
environmentalists.
I came across a quaint statistic somewhere,
and it said 25 percent of logging related jobs
are lost because of a general lack of timber. 70
percent disappear from mechanical
improvements in the mills, and only five
percent from the impact of actual
environmental rules. What has happened is
that timber workers have been duped by their
industry.
It is easy for the logging industry to distract
loggers and get them to blame the
environmentalists. Nature oriented folk make
good scapegoats because they are perceived by
the masculine logging industry as annoying
pansies. What the industry isn't telling the
loggers is that Washington cuts more lumber
than the treeable land can produce. Eventually
we will run out. And this is what the loggers
don't know and are too short·sighted to
understand. They are logging themselves out
of a job (it's ironic that the ESA is actually
protecting logging jobs by slowing down the
harvest). Weyerhaeuser and its brethren are
run by Wall Street. with something called
planned obsolescence in mind for our local
forests. Washington and Oregon, as well as
other tree-producing areas are expected to
eventually run out of trees. But, so long as the
industry posts benefits for its investors, the
industries that extract profits plan to con tinue
the deception as long as possible.
What can be done'? If you are an
environmentalist. consider yourself the human
conscience that the loggers forgot when they

picked up their saws. Mankind has eternally
depended on trees for sustenance. and there is
no reason that we should turn away from that.
BUL on the other side of the coin, it is the
conscience of environmentalists that tell the
story of the forests other uneconomic benefits.
Sadly, environmentalists are the outsiders,
they generally have no stake on the land in the
NW, which is necessary for impact in today's
world. (I'd suggest donating money to the
Nature Conservancy)
All we can do is watch and tell the loggers
the truth. They don't understand how they are
sabotaging themselves. They are not the bad
guys, it's their uncaring, inhumane bosses, the
investors. Confronting and shaming the
loggers will only drive them deeper into their
denial and back to the only support they know,
the logging companies. This is
counterproductive to a naturalist's ultimate
cause. which is a concerted effort to leave
forests for the future.
The loggers embody our biological need to
consume. Environmentalists recognize the
symbiotic relationship between man and
nature, in biodiversity and beauty. Both parties
will lose if Wall Street is not confronted.
The deception involved is twofold. The
loggers don't understand that it is their
companies that undermines their livelihood.
The environmentalists don't see that if they
don't actually make a monetary commitment
and buy in to the forests today they have no real
stake in what happens to it tomorrow. I don't
want to hear some idealistic hooray about why
money shouldn't matter, or that you can't buy
a forest. We live in a real world, and under the
present social system, money matters most.
Never forget that this culture values profit first,
not sustainability, science, or aesthetic beauty.
If you value forests over profit, I suggest getting
your heads out of the clouds and get into the
game being played. Like baseball, stop being
the obnoxious fan; become a base coach.

Tips from an upperclass-person

Words of advice for
survival at Evergreen
An ode to the Evergreen administrative
process or how to get what you want done:
1. Make up your mind about what you want
done: a change to semesters, getting a
basketball team, etc.
2. Find a way to force the subject without
going through a DTF.
3. Make up a series ofgraphs showing how
your change would save money and increase
the amount of services rendered. Take great
care to not mention startup costs and other
future pitfalls.
4. State that the last time you checked, the
students were evenly divided on the subject.
5. Try to push it through without a student
forum.
6. If you are forced to have a student forum,
schedule it for three hours before the spring

academic fair so most of the students cannot
attend.
7. Pack the meeting with people who agree
with you ,
8. Have a planned presentation rather than
an open forum. If students speak, make sure
it is a leading question.
9. Bureaucratize all of your answers,
10. Give students multiple choice options
that only lead toward your goal.
11. Announce that the final decision will
be made during the summer.
12. Pass your recommendation up the
chain, thereby relieving yourself of all
responsibility for your decision.
Based upon observations during my five year
sentence,

Not enough information in play analysis

"What is the purpose of art?" Granted, this
Jllay seem a bit general for a response to
journalistic criticism - yet I believe that the
question demands consideration, especially
after reading Naomi Ishisaka's article "Asian Stereotypes in One-Act festival are
Inappropriate." (CPJ May 11 , 1995)
If the generation of criticism is a
component of Art's function then I propose
that the play "Whatever Gets You through the
Day" by Matt Snyder has unquestioningly
complied . Not to degrade Ms. Ishisaka's
opinion . her analysis of the work is valid and
does bring up some important aspects of the
play's entirety. The character of the "Chinese
Laundry Man" does present a stereotypical,
and cliche portrayal of an Asian American.
But. to be equitable. all of the characters in
the play possess exaggerated and stereotypical
qualities. It is the audiences responsibility, in
viewing the play, to inquire and investigate

Crimson Tid~: an int~ns~,
w~ll-craft~d drama
by Bryan Theiss
With a plot about impending nuclear
lVar with Russia and a title reminiscent of
'80s red-scare films like Red Dawn, you
might think Crimson Tide is another piece
of action packed, pro-war propaganda. But
despite director Tony Scott's credits (which
include themega-popular, feature length Air
Force commercial Tvp Cun), Crimson Tide
comes across as a parable about the political
split in our country and the need for ethical
questioning in the military.
Denze l Washington plays Navy
Lieutenant Commander Ron Hunter, a
newcomer on the USS Alabama, a nuclear
submarine. Under the command of Hunter
and Captain Frank Ramsey (Gene
Ilackmanl, the sub is sent to patrol Russian
waters during a global emergency - a rebel
faction of the former Soviet Army has seized
control of a nuclear missile base.
Ilunter and Ramsey represent two
vastly different schools of thought. Hunter
is educated but has little combat experience.
He is thoughtful and philosophical about his
role in a possible nuclear holocaust. Ramsey,
on the other hand, is an aggressive combat
veteran who resents Hunter's lack of
tradition and trusts his own instincts. The
two disagree on the interpretation of their
commands, and end up vying for control of
the sub. The crew is torn between loyalty to
their captain and the ethical dilemma posed
by their new lieutenant ("om mander, and
they must decide how to act in the face of a
nuclear war.
Dariusz Wolski's cinematography and
Hans Zimmer's score pull you into a tense
and dangerous world where any wrong move
could lead to world destruction. This sets the
stage for Washington and Hackman's
amazing performances. Whenever the two
so much as look at each other, the tension
hits you in the gut and leaves you gritting
your teeth hoping nothing goes wrong.
Screenwriter Michael Schiffer calls the
story '''12 Angry Men' on a submarine," and
it's not a bad description. This is not a
standard war movie - the tension between
commanding officers Hunter and Ramsey is
the focus of the film rather than the action
involved in piloting a submarine and
shooting torpedoes, The suspense and
drama work masterfully, with the occasional
jokes emphasizing the terrible absurdity of
th e situation rather than serving as comic
relief. Surprisingly. the dialogue shows quite

a few traces of uncredited script doctor
Quentin Tarantino, who is perhaps best
known for performing the same job on It 's
Pat (or perhaps not).
The press kit describes Crimson Tide
as a "cautionary tale with political
implicati ons ," then goes on to quote
producer Don Simpson talking about
political instability in Russia. But the
important thing about this movie is not the
fact that Hunter and Ramsey are facing off

Though in the apropos intimacy of the OK

James Joyce but I;omposed and preformed
by four Evergreen students from the Irish
Experience class of'95.
The individual pieces, which were
taken largely from A Portrait ofthe Artist as
a Young Man and Finnegans Wake, were
sung and spoken in turns, and the phrasing
of Joycd material was rendered into a fine
rant and reel by Fione Meade that would put
