Yom Ha-sho ' ah.April27, marked the
50th anniversary of liberation from
German concentration camps at the end
of World War II, part of a week long event
remembering the Holocaust.
"The Days of Remembrance were
intended to take a step back and look at
the genocides of all people and to honor
their lives... because every time you don't
speak of them, the victims die over and
over again," said Andrew Forshee, an

Curriculum task force looks at seriously
changing the school's learning process
by Todd Davidson
CPJ Staff Writer
Classes, core programs, first-year
learning communities, seminars - no
matter how it is broken up and classified,
the curriculm is at the heart of Evergreen.
That heart has been under dose scrutiny
the past several months by the Long
Range Curriculum Dissappearing Task
Force (DTF).
The DTF prepared a report on
changing the curriculum, and on Thurs.,
April 29 a well-publicized, student forum
was held to discuss the DTF's report. The
faculty spent both Wednesday and Thursday on a retrea t working out the same
report.
Nearly 70 students attended
Thursday's fourm , and only 30 percent of
the faculty attended the retrea t on
Wednesday. Far fewer faculty returned to
Thursday's half of the retreat.
According to Brian Coppedge, a student serving on the DTF, faculty were
informed of the meeting dates four weeks
before the end of Winter quarter, Faculty
were asked to plan to not have classes during both the forum and the retreat.
The process of curriculum evaluation designed by the DTF was intended
to be as fair and democratic as possible
- a process which many faculty seemed
resistant to, according 1'0 Coppedge.
Faculty were supposed to have student seminars on the policy
recommendation. A student representative from each seminar was to then attend
the student forum, as well as any students
who wished to attend.
The final DTP proposal has not
been written, and when it is completed,
it will go to a "full faculty meeting" to be
ratified by the faculty. Students have no

vote on the final DTF proposal.
The DTF is headed by faculty member
Jeanne Hahn and Director of Jnstitutional
Research and Planning Steve Hunter. Students Brian Coppedge, Anne Wessel, Adam
Ward and Mikko Ambrose serve on the DTF.
The final draft of the DTF's proposal will
be released on May 25, with the final vote comingon May 30. Wed., May 17 is the next public
meeting on the curriculum, a chance for students to let faculty know exactly what they
want.
The OTF was charged by Presiden t Jervis
to cons ider changes to th e curriculum. the
planning process and structure of academic
divisions within the college.
Students in the forum were concerned
wi th improving advising, registration and the
academic fair. Students expressed an interest
in a clearly designed series of related classes .
Students just want the faculty to take responsibility and plan coherent, understandable
and linked pathways through the curriculum.
Mikko Ambrose, a student member of
the DTF, prepared a report which addressed
several other student concerns. Improving
course descriptions in the catalogue was a
major concern, along with creation of an Evergreen Survival Guide and public access to
faculty evaluations.
Studen.ts complained in the group almost unanimously that they were not being
advised but merely being told to go for it, take
whatever you want. This, according to students at the meeting, is difficult and
confusing, especially in attempting to determine (prior to taking a class) the difference
between upper and lower division work.
One proposal from the DTF, which drew
some criticism from
both students and faculty, is that the college
align itself into four
divisions or clearly de-

fined departments.
Students were concerned that divisions
could lead toward mainstreaming of the Ev·
ergreen process and recommend that any
plan should include a clause allowing for reconsideration and change in the future.
Proponents of the plan claim that divisions already exist, and one of the reasons
that there is confusion for students is that
these divisions aren't clearly defined. Students don't know where to go for what area
of study.
The idea of dividing the college met
with much debate, some stating that it is a
far cry from Evergreen's original stated pur·
pose of interdisciplinary studies. Through

Africa and many thousands of supporters worldwide believe it
will happen.
Ramona Africa , Minister of information of the
Philadelphia group MOVE, came and spoke to a large group of
Evergreen·students last Friday.
Her main message was very clear. One of the country's
most famous death row inmates, Mumia Abu-Jamal was falsely
accused, wrongly imprisoned and facing the death penalty for
a crime he didn't commit.
She came to Evergreen to gather support for the freeing
ofJamaL She cited the continued pressure of people all around
the world as what has protected Jamal from execution.
Jamal was convicted in 1982 of the murder of police officer
Daniel Faulkner. The night of the murder, Ramona Africa said
Jamal was driving a taxi and stopped at an altercation between
a black youth and some police officers. As Jamal approached,
he realized the youth was his brother. Ramona Africa said Jamal
tried to pull his brother away from the police but was restrained.
In the following confrontation, Faulkner was shot and
killed. Jamal was accused of the shooting, tried and convicted.
Jamal represented himself in the trial and contends that the
trial was a sham.
Africa believes the witnesses that testified against Jamal
were bribed'by the police, since they all had pending cases in
the court system that were dismissed after agreeing to testify.
She said the bullets in the gun Jamal carried did not match
the bullet found in the officer's body. She also said that the
alleged confession which Jamal's case hinged upon was only
remembered by the officer two months after the confession
allegedly took place.
Jamal. a well known broadcast and print journalist was

Journalists before his imprisonment. He first became

5:30 pm - fiesta and music, 7:00 - speech

The position of recycling coordinator
shall be the next staff position lost due to the
cuts to Evergreen's budget made by the state
legislature.
As a result of this cut, the current
recycling coordinator job, held by Glen
Duncan, will no longer exist after June 1.
Duncan has been at this job since October in a
temporary position.
The recycling duties will then be added
on to the reponsibilities of maintenance
supervisor George Leago. As maintenance
supervisor, Leago already currently oversees
the custodial services and refuse collection,
As a result of this move, many students
are concerned that recycling at Evergreen will
not be maintained.
Jennifer Koogler, a first-year student who
"recycles everything she can," believes that "the
loss of a recycling coordinator could reduce the
service that I already get. I don't want to see
the recycling program weaken at Evergreen."
Leago maintains that combining the
recycling responsibilities does not mean that
the program will reduce its service to the
community,
"Regardless of whether there is a

recycling coordinator or not, t here will always
be recycling at Evergreen. This is not an
elimination of service, just a position."
Duncan agrees with Leago on this puint ,
citing the implementation of a new plastics
recycling program that will take effect this
quarter.
This is not to say, however, that this
means service will be as expedient as it
currently is, a fact that both agree on.
"The recycling coordinator knows the
pulse of what's going on," Duncan says. He
sights that he can concentrate all his energy on
recycling issues, but the staff will not be able
to in the future due to their other
responsibilities.
According to Leago, the position of
recycling coordinator was never thought of as
a permanent one. In fact, when the position
was first created in 1991, it was the intent of
the administration was to dissolve it within
four years after implementing a working
recycling program.
Even with the cut in his position, Duncan
believes that the recycling program will
prosper.
According to Duncan, Leago "cares about
recycling," and the two are working closely on
combining his job responsibilities. . .

Amid media cries of "What about the
boys?" 20 girls visited Evergreen with their
parents to participate in "Take Our Daughters
to Work Day" on April 27.
They had tea with Provost Barbara Leigh

day watching parents in action, and hopefully,
understanding that they too can be successful

The Ms. Foundation, which organizes the
annual even t, says the day is intended to show
gi rls potential work opportunities and help
counter the loss of self esteem in girls between
nine and 15.
Alison Lee-Whitney visited Evergreen
with her mom, Labor Center Director Helen
Lee, and classmate Jennifer Dalebout.
Dalebout's mom works as a rural mail carrier.
The Postal Service refused to let her go to work
with her mom because of safety concerns.
Lee, set up a Labor Cente r table and
showed videos in the CAB to celebrate Take
Our Daughters to Work Day.
"It is important to open up the discussion
of women's role in the work force. [Take our
Daughters to Workl opens up a forum for
discussion about child ca re and pay equity,"
said Lee.
She also believes that it shows girls that
the have the option to ente r into male
dominated fields.
Both Lee-Whitney and Dalebout said that
they were enjoying the day and appreciate the
chance to see the working world.
"It's nice to know what happens when
you're older," said Lee-Whitney.
Wh ile the 20 girls at Evergreen and about
10 milli on nationwide were enjoying their day
at work, concerns about the fairness of the day
were brewing.
Media across the country were critici zi.ng

event to "Take your children to work."
"The media is obscuring the fundamental
issues of an economic system that

discriminates against women," said Lee, "In
1995, women still only make $.60 to every
dollar a man makes."
The Ms. Foundation wants to continue
to keep the event for girls only because of the
discrimination women continue to face in the
work force. There are no plans to change the

Earwood recounted an incident at
Highline Community College in Seattle, his
former work-place. He said a visually-impaired,
disabled person accidentally rolled their
electric wheelchair down a small flight of stairs
after exiting a building there. The person was
not injured, but very shaken-up, he said.
Earwood said he has considered the
possibility of something similar occurring at
the new wheelchair ramp at Evergreen.

participation in maritime activities
Sacha Biondi. a member of the Maritime
Alliance, first got interested in the
organization when she went out sailing on the
Resolute. "We want to get exposure to the
Evergreen students and community members
to realize that it is not just a matter of going
out and having fun, but taking pride in what
your doing," Biondi says.
To get in contact with the Maritime
Alliance,~u can reach Sacha Biondi at 3579349. _

The Maritime Alliance acts as a resource
center for those interested in sailing, wooden
boat restoration, maritime and natural
history, marine environment studies, and
maritime employment opportunities. Their
mission is to support the educational and
social needs of Evergreen students by striving
towards the following objectives:
The promotion of Evergreen's sailing
vessels as community assets, the teaching of
wooden boat restoration and maintenance.

Curriculum, from cover----discussion, the group seemed to accept some
form of divisions, but with acknowledged dis·
sent.
The faculty appeared to agree on the idea
of divisions. This seemed to be based more on
the urging of deans. Planning, process and hierarchical concerns about hiring and divisional
powers seemed of more concern than student
concerns in the discussion.
In the forum summary the students asked
for faculty to make priorities: Plan first year
curriculum first, then interdisciplinary
and
divisional programs, then
specialty and advanced
programs.
The Student Forum
Summary recommends
students be required to develop an academic
plan by the end of their first year. It also recommended that seniors write a comprehensive ·
self-evalauation about their time at Evergreen
before graduating. They also asked that more
faculty have a better awareness of the entire
curriculum. The Summary also recomended
that faculty be given more adviSing power and
requested that they be available at designated
times and places.
"
The Student Forum Summary also asked
that advisors in specialty be in contact with
faculty in specialty areas.
Students said that they didn't have any

problem with the current use of the word
"core" for first year programs. They didn't see
any need to be segregated into first year learning communities. Students overwhelmingly
supported the 2/1 quarter setup for CORE. The
2/1 setup would offer a two quarter Core program and allow students a choice of
interdivisional classes in spring quarter.
Students also favored programs set up on
a 12/4 basis. A 12/4
setup would allow firstyear students to take 12
credits of a Core program
and 4 credits ofa module.
Students like having non-prerequisite ,
inter-divisional and interdisciplinary programs
open to freshmen . They
also wanted intermediate
level work available to freshmen in the spring
quarter.
Students wanted more first year faculty
accountability and improved seminar quality
as opposed to collaborative projects. Students
felt first-year programs need better planning.
They also thought that teaching responsibility
needed to be better divided between faculty.
Faculty a( the meeting reported that students are concerned with advising, the
difficulty of understanding the curriculum and
identifYing upper and lower division work. Faculty members called this a student desire for
"predictability," and "demystification." _

I attended the tenth annual Empowering Women of
Color Conference in Berkeley, California on April 22. The
Women ofColor Coalition has attended this conference for
the past five years. This is the second time I have attended
this conference and I thought this year was excellent and I
would like to continue to attend in the years ahead.
Angela Davis was the keynote speaker for this
conference entitled "Reaping Fruit; Throwing Seed." Her
presence and speech caused audience members to applaud
and nod their heads when she spoke about affirmative
action and its importance. She was very articulate and
comfortable speaking to members of the audience.
Choosing one out often workshops in thefirst session,
I decided to attend one entitled "Building Coalitions versus
the Rise of the New Right." This particular workshop I went
to was very disappointing to witness. One intent of the
workshop was to get past racial and gender opposition and
work together. Another goal was to recognize differences,
yet move beyond hierarchies of oppression to ally against
the rise of the new right. But in the workshop itself. there
was not any coalition building because no one stepped into
each other's shoes when a view was too different than their
own or too different from the majority's opinion in the
room. Having a background of a seminar I found the
discussion disappointing once this happened.
Women in the audience were allowed to comment or
ask questions aimed towards the three panelists who had
already set the tone of thewor~hop. One women in the
audience expressed her frustrated of feelings tired, worn·
out and burned-out by getting involved in coalitionbuilding activities. She stressed that she realized there was
importance in coalition·building, but admitted if was too
much to handle. I understood her position. But I think she
was looking at the big picture rather than looking at what
she can contribute; large or small.
Later, a different woman also sounded frustrated,
burned out and tired. But she exI?lained she was tired for
different reasons. She was tired of the issues ofrace, class
and lack of energy people had. She said she wanted action.
She said she wanted everyone to put up fliers, make phone
calls and go to a scheduled rally. As she talked, two women
giggled behind me. I was confused at first and became
appalled as they continued to laugh as she talked. I couldn't
understood what she was saying that was so funny.
But then, the woman passed the group a flyer and left
the room. And that's where she went wrong. The snickering
I heard was wrong, but it was also wrong for the woman to
explain her energy level and commitment to building allies
and then leave, Because then everyone in the room,
including the facilitator, found the space to talk about her.
Which was wrong. [ got the feeling everyone in the room
thought she waS out to place and missed a point. But I
thought the group had missed the point! The facilitator
reminded us there are different energy levels, but that was
aU she said. I felt like the facilitator thought ¢e woman
was ridiculous along with the rest of the women in the
room.
The group missed the point that the woman was
saying. Even ifthe majority of the women were burned out,
there is a place and time for action. There are times to sit
and discuss race, class, and oppression, but there's
definitely a time for action.
There was no coalition·building in the room. As the
workshop ended, I felt like it was ironic. Ironic that a
woman tried to make things happen, yet was laughed out
of the room. And still, even after she left the room, I heard
no one step in her shoes to see her point and relay it to the
members of the room. How can you build coalitions when
you don't step into a person's shoes first71 How can you get
anything done when a person who thinks differendy from
you walks out?

know that fat people are one group that is
systematically excluded from receiving health
care - primarily through the insurance
industry. fat people are determined "potential
health risks" according to the metropolitan life
weight tables, and are hence denied insurance
or charged outrageous premiums unless they
reach their "ideal weights." this is just one of
many ways that capitalist industries work to
keep fat. people economically oppressed.

This years health fair is being held in the
lobby on the Second floor of the library
building May 17, from 11:00 am to 3:00 pm.
The focus of the fair is to not only
represent medical health issues, but also
activities related to wellness and healthy
lifestyles. Many of the services around campus

will be represented. This will be a really good
opportunity for students to find out about the
different services offered here at Evergreen. We
also have professionals from the Olympia area
coming to participate in our fair. Professionals
in NaturopathiC medicine, massage,
hypnotherapy, and nutrition counseling are a
few of the folks participating. We hope to have
many students drift through and check it out.

WIDE VARlETT

The Dave Matthews Band, Big Head
Todd and the Monsters, and Boxing Gandhis
are on their way to Evergreen for a May 5
show. So what do tbey sound like? Well, I
guess all the bands could be lumped into the
category with The Cowboy Junkies, Crash
Test Dummies, Counting Crows, Blind
Melon, BoDeans, Blues Traveler, The Spin
Doctors and Hootie and the Blowfish;
although I may have to exclude Boxing
Gandhis from this category for
they stand all alone. This
new brand of music
always has a new wave
pseudo-hippie alternarock feel. Tbe sound is
most often created with a
mix of a jazz, country, folk
and alternative rock.
Although the Dave
Matthews Band has a sound all
its own, one could safely say that
they fit well into this new pop
music category. Under the Table
and Dreaming, the band's first
major label release, has a
variety of different sounds in
each of its 12 songs.
Together the songs create
an album that has a
unique and addictive
sound. The sounds of
"alternative" guitar mixed
with an earthy folk violin and
soulful jazz saxophone creates a great
sound that has moved the band to
number 5 on the MTV play
list. It is one of those
albums you could
listen to in any situationand it just doesn't get old.
I guess it just boils down
the simple fact: I • the Dave
Matthews Band.
So, what about these other
two bands? Well, Big Head Todd
and the Monsters' Sister Sweetly,
has been in the background of the
pseudo-hippie, blues, rock scene since
its release in 1993, and fits quite well into this
clumsily labeled pop music category. They

have a more classifiable sound, with a mix
of blues and pop music. The album is a jazzy
laying in the bath tub type, that is relaxing,
yet surprisingly up beat. Sister Sweetlyis one
of those albums I have to program for the
songs that stick out. When Big Head Todd is
good they are great, and when they aren't it
can be frightening. Several of the songs on
the album sound like a cross between Willy
Nelson and the Counting Crows,
hence I skip through the icky
songs to the four or five amazing
songs on the disk.
Finally we get to Boxing
Gandhis, these guys are
slightly more obscure than
the others. Their first
release, a self·titled
album, is a little
strange. They have a
funky, hip happy,
gospel choir sound,
which I must say is a bit
odd. The lyrics reflect a tree
huggin' ideology that is damn funny
when mixed with bebop. I have a hard
time listening to the whole
album, much less one
song. So I have to say it:
the album is bad. But I
did get a big kick out of the
cheesy lyrics and bad
mixing. I am only hoping that
they sound better in concert.
May 5th is the night to be
at the Geodome (CRC). The pave
Matthews Band, Big Head Todd
and the Monsters and Boxing
Gandhis will be rocking the CRe.
Rumor has it that the Dave
Matthews Band plays a
fantastic live show. Coupled
with Big Head Todd and the
I
Monsters
(after
uaccidentally" miss the
Boxing Gandhis), I am
expecting a fabulous show.
What could be better?

Thp UFO Muspum ·It's out of this world

A no taltant film maktarwho dotasn't makes it, that's Ed Wood
by Bryan Theiss

by Ariel Burnett and Rebecca Pellman
There are truly some things that you
must see to appreciate. Just as it would be
impossible to explain the color red to a blind
person, there is no way to fully describe the
chaos of the UFO Museum in Portland,
Oregon to the uninitiated.
From the moment we wa lked in the
door. our senses were overwhelmed.
Flashing colored lights, clicking/whirring
noises and weird-astral·pop·lounge music
create the atmosp here that is the UFO
Museum. Curator Lex Loeb has managed to
cram an entire flea market into three rooms.
This man knows how to work space,
A three-room museum was an alien
concept to us at first. So was shaking hands
with a vibrator (the alleged extraterrestrial
greeting), but we adapted. Actually, the word
"museum" seems a bit misleading. There is
nothing conventional about this place.
Loeb began our tour explaining, "every
exhibit here proves everything and nothing."
Whatever they prove, they're pretty cool in
a eccentric, far-out kinda way. The glowing
orange Freud room suggests some
interesting subliminal messages and the
alien spaghetti and pregnant plastic are
bound to make you question your purpose
on earth.
Other highlights in this gravitron of
museums: the Elvis shrine; the painting that
can only be described as "Alien Gothic;" the
picture of the inter-dimensional council
(members include Loeb, Jesus Christ and
Rush Limbaugh); a sign reading "Nancy
Reagan's astrologer predicted this museum;"
and the piece-de-resistance, the actual alien
(which bears a striking resemblance to a
Kewpie doll) that told Loeb to open the
museum,
However, this cluttered showcase of the
strange and unusual owes as much of its
appeal to its curator's banter as it does to its
appearance. The entire tour may very well
ha ve been spoken in one single long
se ntence . One particularly frenzied
monologue was delivered from the exercise
bike "used to cast a spell on Oprah Winfrey."
As an added bonus he berated one of our
tagalongs, calling him a nerd. When this was
objected to, Loeb said, "('mon, just admit
that you're a nerd. Look at those glasses.'! .
This alone was worth the $1 price of the
admission.
Loeb sure had his phaser set to stun
when he informed us that the museum was

actually the center of gravity and that's why
we were there. We had no idea that forces
more powerful than wanting something to
do had drawn us to this spot. Don't resist
the tractor-beam-like pull: you go visit it, too.
It's a great place to space out. Boldly go
where few have gone before. Besides, when
you leave you get to pick out a postcard and
you get an "alien whistle" (while supplies
last). Plus Lex is a really nice guy who doesn't
mind when you call in the middle of the night
or come in plastered.
Perhaps you'll be more brave than we
were and take up the offer we received from
our host as our tour came to an end: "Does
anyone want a ride to another dimension?
I'm going to go pick up the Church of Elvis
Lady." ,
So go ahead - make a run for the
Oregon state border and explore the final
frontier of tourist attractions.
-Rebecca and Ariel like to get spiffed
up before they go anywhere.

He was a spectacularly strange
filmmaker and renowned cross-dresser who
was posthumously labelled "the worst
director of all tim,e." He was Edward D.
Wood, Jr., the subject matter ofTim Burton's
black and white masterpiece Ed Wood, now
on video.
Wood is best known as the writer/
director of Plan 9 From Outer Space,
considered by many to be "the worst movie
of all time" due to it's hilariously inept
writing, acting and special effects. Burton is
best known as the imaginative and artful
director of Batman, BeetJejuice and Edward
Scissorhands. Skeptics expected a meanspirited attack which exploits the camp value
of Wood's movies and fetishes. Instead,
Burton delivered a loving tribute to Wood
and artists everywhere.

The story begins with Ed (Johnny
Depp) optimistically living a dismal life as
an unsuccessful playwright. When Wood
meets washed up ex-Dracula Bela Lugosi (the
phenomenal Martin Landau), he uses him
as a selling point to get his first directing job.
Joined by a band of misfits including bald
pro-wrestler Tor Johnson (George ~The
Animal" Steele), proto-goth queen Vampira
(Lisa Marie), fake Esychic Criswell (Jeffrey
Jones) and bitchy transsexual wannabe
"Bunny" Breckenridge (Bill Murray), Ed and
Bela create the string of bizarre low budget
horror films Wood is most remembered for.
Ed's creativity and optimism help him to
weathf'r budget problems, disapproval of his
cross-dressing, Bela's drug addiction and his
complete lack of talent.
The story is funny, touching and (at
times) profoundly sad. Ed is very easy to
empathize with, and his cross-dressing is

treated as completely natural rather than
being played for laughs. The style Qfthe film
itself borrows subtly from Wood in ways
which draw you into the film rather than
seeming gimmicky.
Traditional bio-pics tend to take the
life of a celebrity, make you happy about
their spectacular rise to stardom, then make
you sad as death slowly descends upon
them. Ed Wood-takes the life of a man who
is only famous for being unsuccessful,
makes you respect him and ends his story
before his self-destruction (he drifted into
alcoholism and died of a heart attack in
1978). Historical accuracy is second priority
- the film branches into fantasy by the
end.
Landau's performance won him an
Oscar for best supporting actor, but I have
a feeling he would have got best actor if the
film had been called Bela Lugosi. Really it's

the story of Ed and Bela - Ed uses Bela to
get into movies, and Bela uses Ed to get back
into movies.
All of the acting 'Is top notch,
particularly Landau and Depp. Stefan
Czapsky's black and white cinematography
is absolutely striking, and he has plenty of
beautiful images to work with. Rick Baker's
makeup, which transformed Landau into
Lugosi, deserved the Oscar it won. And
Howard Shore's perfectly fitting score
should put to rest once and for all the theory
that Burton is nothing without Danny
Elfman.
Ed Wood is a movie by and for people
who love movies. I think it was the best
movie of the year - yes, including Pulp
Fiction (and Quentin Tarantino said the
same thing).

Scorpio: Dyed hair actually leads to brain

money will come. The color of the sun will

Sagittarius: One night soon you're going

Aquarius: Submit to your urges, but not

good, but not on sex. Eating is good, but
not during sex. Be careful around anyone

creeps are far more appreciated
