Rep. Goldsmith, center, in a House Higher Education Committee meeting.
by Oliver James MotTat
CPJ Staff Reporter
Evergreen is under fire from the State
Legislature this year. Bills that could threaten
the college's autonomy and unique educa" tional approach are being debated, the Legislature is scrutinizing TESCs possible use
of state funds for Gay and Le~bian activities,
and one state representative has gone as far
';
as t'o call for the shutdown of theschool.
Republican Representative Gene Goldsmith has threatened to close or de-fund Evergreen and he hopes to make a surprise visit
to the campus with the House Higher Education Committee, of which he is a member.
"We're going to find out ifit's as bad as what
I think," he said in a phone interview on
Monday morning.
He would not say when the committee would make the visit because he wanted
it to be a secret and everyone on the committee is very busy. Rep. Don Carlson (R)

" The wheels on the bus go rcund and
round ..." But it'll be a while before they do so
as a student service.
The idea of having your student ID
double as a bus pass is not new, the University
of Washington and South Puget Sound
Community College has been doing so for
some time now. It reduces pollution and
conserves energy resources. The concept
seems nat ural for environmentallyconscious Evergreen, in fact, a random
survey by the S&A Board showed 61
percent of the respondents favor it.
So what is in the way of these best of
intentions?
The usual suspects: bureaucracy and
budget. The idea was presented to last
year's Student Activities Board, and
inherited by this year's board. The board
met with an Intercity Transit official to
begin the feasibility studies .
Passsengers oflT currently pay $1 for an
all-day pass, 50¢ per ride or $18 for a
monthly pass. IT Express fares to Seattle
and Tacoma are slightly higher.
Unlike SPSCC prior to its bus program,
Evergreen does utilize IT, during peak
transit hours the buses are filled to capacity.
A bus pass system might increase IT
ridership to the point of their needing to
purchase another vehicle for their existing
fleet. On the Evergreen subsidy alone, this may
not be cost-effective.
Then there's the obstacle at our end of
the bus route - where's the money going to
come from? Such a project would come from
what Student Activities calls Tier 1 funding.
Tier 1 covers year-round bit-ticket programs
and expenses; the Child Care Center. S&A
Administration, KAOS community radio, the
Campus Recreation Center and the Cooper
PointJoumal.
These areas have been asked to prepare
10 percent budget cut exercises already, to
prepare for potential revenue loss from MIT
cutbacks_The added expense of a bus pass
subsidy could cause massive cutbacks in these
services. All parties involved insist they're
already at the bare-bones level, that there's no
fat left to trim. But again , the money has to
come from somewhere.
Between budget considerations and IT
studies, the soonest we can expect free bussing
is the 1996-97 school year. The question of
funding, however.
is yet to be
resolved . •

On Friday, a respected memb er of the
Lakotas of th e Teton Sioux Nation spoke to a
crowd of 300 listeners in Evergreen's Library
Lobby.
Arvol Looking Horse is the 19th
generation of the keepers of the sacred white
buffalo pipe, a treasure cherished by the nation
for centuries. He is also the childhood friend
of Evergreen graduate and staff member
Tiokasin Veaux.
Looking Horse
was presented by
members of the Native
American community at
Evergreen with the gift
of the first of a new
edition of blankets
made by the Pendleton
Woolen Co. in honor of
the Lakota Nation .
Looking Horse
For an hour
before the scheduled speaking time, people
gathered in the Library Lobby to listen to the
music made by a circle of six drummers. ''This
is meant as a way of honoring Arvol," said
Native Student Alliance (NSA) coordinator
Ryan Keith. The NSA sponsored the event.
Arvol first addressed the crowd in his own
language, then began his address in English
with a humble greeting, recognizing his old
friend by a boyhood name. "It seems
everywhere you go now, you see a Lakota." He
described Greengrass, his home and the history
it had as a winter camp for centuries before it
became a reservation.
"I want to express the feelings of our
nation," he said. He stressed the importance
of communication, responsibility, leadership
and unity as we conduct our lives in pursuit of
balance with Mother Earth and each other. He
described the way that today's events are part
of a longer story, which have been and continue
to be described by prophecies.
Arvol carries the tradition of prophecy.
The White Buffalo Pipe which he carries has
been held by keepers of the Lakota Nation for
19 generations.
According to the story told by Looking
Horse, centuries ago a buffalo changed colors
from black to red to yellow to white in a process
symbolizing p·urity. The buffalo became a
beautiful woman, who approached two
warriors while they were travelling. To the man
who approached her with a humble heart and
without greedy and lustful notions, she
bestowed the Wh ite Buffalo Pipe, to be kept by
the nation as a symbol of the people's balance
with the buffalo.
A century ago , as the buffalo were
destroyed by the guns U.S. forces, a group of
Lakota met with a similar fate at Wounded

At Evergreen, the story has jt that a roommate's

The fight against M'alicious Harassment
Seattle based activist Eric Ward visited
Evergreen last Tuesday to share community
action and coalition building ideas. The
student group Umoja sponsored his visit
Ward is part of the Northwest Coalition
Against Malicious Harassment, a non-profit
corporation that exists to address the problem
and threat of malicious, harassment and
violence based on race, religion, gender, or
sexual orienption.
Ward sprinkled his presentation with
video clips from inside the Religious Right. The
clips offered a frightening critique of the
Right's agenda. It also showed the hypocrisy
of the Right's "family values" messages because
the messages often rely on racist, sexist and
homophobic dogma.
Ward used the example of the Oregon
Citizen Alliance COCA) sponsored anti·gay/
lesbian ballot measures in Oregon to show the
importance of solidarity on the Left.
Ward said the OCA had a diverse agenda
from shutting down public schools to stopping
abortion. The reason it attacked the Queer
community, he said, was simpiy because
Queers represented the weakest link on the Left.
Ward argued that groups on the Left
need to build stronger coalitions to prevent the
Right from finding that weak link.
- Carson Strege
In Washington State, it is a felony crime to harass someone because of
that person's race, color, religion, ancestry, national origin, gender, sexual
orientation, or mental, physical or sensory handicap. (RCW 9A.36.0BO)
• Educate yourself. Make sure that you are not contributingto the
problem through racist, sexist, homophobic or bigoted remarks, slurs
or other activity. Make efforts to learn about and embrace the
diversity of our society, rather than be threatened by it.
• Report incidents of malicious harassment to the police and
encourage others to do so as well. Sometimes the victims of a bias
crime need support in order to report incidents.
• Become involved in public expressions against bigotry. Help create
a public attitude against bias crimes and bigotry.
• Attend public forums, neighbo~hood workshops and other events
t<;> learn about the problem of racism and find solutions
• Join the NWCAMH and become a part of a regional effort to fight
bias crimes

The Happy Squa.d of
Earth is back: On TV
by Ariel Burnett .
CPJ Staff Writer
The Happy Squad of Earth
(HSE) is back ... sort of. The same
people who got suspended from
KAOS last year for playing over 57
minutes of simulated urination,
have reappeared on television,
The show, called Ihe Happy
Squad of Earth presents "We sell
shit to you", is done in a homeshopping format. It first aired on
campus last week, from midnight
t02 am.
Fezdak C1amchopbreath, a
member who describes the HSE as
an "unofficial organization of
conspiracy artists," says that be
called people he knew and told
them to bring a few items to sell.
About 23 people responded to his
request and 30 items went up for
sale.
The atmosphere was
informal. CIamchopbreath said
that the salespeople argued and
haggled over prices with phone-in
customers. "It's the homeshopping thing that you never see,
where the selling isn't the
important part."
The next show, which
should be airing soon, will be
shown in 69 other cities on local
cable-access shows, including Los
Angeles, Maui, New · York,
Chicago, and Utila, Honduras. .
Clamchopbreath hasn't
gotten a swelled head from this
however, .. Does anyone watch
their local. yokel cable-access
channel? No one's making TV
shows because people are
intimidated. There's not a lot of
access to production equipment.
There isn't a lot of independent
production going on. That's why
we're going to Honduras."
Even with the possibility of
national
recognition
Clamchopbreath say he's not sure
if the Happy Squad is going to be
"a sizeabl~ conspiracy again or
anything." He says that it would
be "very easy from this point to go
on. We have the opportunity, it's
a matter of wanting to do this."
If he and the HSE do
continue with their homeshopping show he believes that it
could become a local outlet for
selling items. Italso could provide
some entertainment for awhile.

Gorton-sponsored bill passes
:

••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Senator J.J. Exon from Nebraska and
Washington State's own Slade Gorton have
introduced legislation which would prohibit
"any comment, request, suggestion, proposal,
image or other communication which is
obscene, lewd, lascivious, filthy, or indecent,"
on any type of telecommunications deviceincluding the Internet.
This state-sponsored censorship, called
the "Communications Decency Act of 1995,"
does not stop at censoring the creator of such
communication, but the service which carries
it as well. If what could be considered an
'obscene' message is on a school's computer
network, the school would be held liable.
Senator Exon has proposed that the fines
for such offenses be $100,000 or two years
imprisonment for the service provider.
The American Civil Liberty Uhion, the
nat!on's largest civil rights watchdog group,
beheves that the bill, S.314, would greatly
restrict the flow of on-line information by
requiring service providers to act as private
censors of e-mail messages.mailing lists and
discussion groups.
"The ACLU believes that on-line users
should be the only censors of the content of
the information they receive," said a press
release from the group.
Proponents of the bill ·claim that it will
prevent minors from accessing indecent, and
perhaps pornographic, material via computer
networks. The bill is, in part, a result of a fear
of the Internet by t~ose who do not use it.
"In effect." according to the ACLU, "online providers would be forced to offer to adults
only that content that is 'suitable for minors.'"
Senators Exon and Gorton intend to
attach the bill to new telecommunications
legislation which is likely to passin early to mid
March.
In ternet users have begun an electronic
petition that they will be forwarding to all
members of Congress, the President and the
mass media on March 15. They already
garnered over 20,000 signatures.
To sign the petition, send an e-mail
message to S314-petition@netcom.com.

Recently, I read a story about a boy from
a backwoods family being interviewed by a visiting anthropologist. Asked about his brother,
the boy proudly declared that he was at
Harvard, The astonished anthropologist asked
what the brother was studying, "It's not that
way," replied the boy, "they're studying him."
This is not unlike the place of Christian
belief at Evergreen, Occasionally Christianity
and the Bible arise as a topic in discussions on
the environment, Native American life, feminism and evolution, However, it rarely arises
with the possibility
of being true, The
prevailing attitude
is that Christian belief can be on the syllabus for scrutiny,
but not behind the
lectern, Christian
belief may be subordinated to analYSis,
but not hold a leadership role in the
analysis.
Why is this? Sorry, it is not today's topic.
How should you live if you find your beliefs a topic of discussion but not party to the
direction of th e discussion? The following
thoughts may help you sort through the spiritual and relational issues and enable you to
thrive from the challenge ofliving your faith at
Evergreen.
The possibility exists that you may experience one of the greatest moments of your
faith development as a spiritual minority member of the dominant culture. So, first of all, have
great hope. Faith grown in a, culture indifferent or cool to your particular beliefs can be
strong faith with great character. For example,
in subalpine terrain, old trees exisrwith beautiful twists, turns, and bends, Trees that have
outlasted the worst of heavy winter snows,
lightening, and grazing goats, [love looking at
these trees, They are full of character and sublime beauty, A strong Christian faith has the
character of Christ uniquely wedded to our
own and an absence of cliches as we articulate
the reason for our hope in Jesus.
Even saying the words "religious minority" can be a dallgerous spiritual-psychological move. It is very easy to believe we need a
group to validate our own spiritual and moral
commitments. When a grqup excessively contributes toour decision, we in fact didn't make
one. It is made for us. Thought #1 - Make
your own commitment to God. Don't live out
your roommates', your seminar's or your
relative's faith, only your own.
Opposite of the danger ofgroup think is
isolated individualism. Believe it or not, the
church exists to reflect the presence ofJesus in
today's world. We were never meant to reflect
Christ as isolated units, but as a community
serving one another and society. Thought #2
- Feel free to get up before noon on Sunday
and attend a church that focuses on Jesus and
his call upon your life,
Don't make theological decisions with a
calendar, i,e. "that is
an antiquated belief
that enlightened
people no longer accept." Intellectual
pride comes in many
forms, beware of the
academic versions.
Thought #3
When reading the
teaching of Jesus, attempt to be con scious of your preexisting beliefs.
Integrate your faith with yo ur recreational activities, your relationships, your studies, and your life plans, God is the center of our
life and if we compartmentalize him like some
extra curricular activity, we no longer have
God, but simply a mythical projection of our
psyche. Thought #4 - "Jesus is lord of all or
he is not lord at all,"
Read the classic writings of the faith . The
Imitation o{ChristbyThomas A. Kempis, The
Interior Castle by Teresa of Avila and Mere
Christianity by C.S. Lewis are works that help
provide us with the human connection to the
past so that we can see we are standing upon
the shoulders of others standing on shoulders.
Thought #5 - We are not the first to grapple
with the particular questions we face; read
what others have taught.
God intends our friendships, studies,
work and recreation to be the context of our
spiritual growth, The only decision to make is
whether to commit our entire life to God .
"Who is he/she who will devote himself/herself to be close to me?" declares the Lord .

Progress report on
Assault Prevention
As winter quarter comes to a close we
thought that in lieu of the weekly question,
we would give a progress report for our
, work-so far and a preview of our plans for
the rest of the year_
As many of you know this office was
funded for one year by a grant from the
Washington
State
Crime
Victim's Advocacy Bureau to
do education
around the issue
of sexual ass ault.
Of course it
follows that one
ofthe main components of our
by Mary Craven
program have
been educational
workshops in core and upper division programs. We plan to continue with resource
presentations next quarter so if you would
like us to come into your academic program please call our office to schedule a
time at x6421. In addition, we brought
FIST trainings to campus housing and plan
to bring them out again ifthere's a demand.
We have also been hosting a brown
bag lunch lecture series called "Woman to
Woman" with the Women's Center that has
brought speakers such as Thurston County
Prosecutor, Bernadean Broadous, facu lty
members Rita Pougiales and Janet Ott,
Dean Shannon Ellis, and President Jane
Jervis. We have had a great time listening
to their different stories and hope to continue with the series next quarter. Just recently, we co-hosted with the Queer Alliance, speaker Anna Schlect. Also in the
works is Carol McNerny-Maher, to speak on
safety issues for people with disabilities, cosponsored by the Union of Students with
Disabilities,
We are also
sponsoring
the creation of
6, 60 second
public service
films about
sexual assault
done by Sally
Cloninge r' S
"Media Works"
and Kim Goforth
.program. The
plan is to
make films that are specific to Evergreen
and have them run before all mIllS that are
shown on campus, We hope to see these
films done by the end of spring,
These are by no means the on ly things
we've been up to but certainly the one's wt'
are most excited about and proud of. If
there are any activities or speakers you
would like to see come to campus to speak
around th e issues of safety and sexual assa ult please drop your suggestions by ollr
office in Library l411 or give us a ca ll at

THE KIT helps save environment
by Jonah E. R. Loeh
Contributor
In this week's CPJyou will find a request for information
about THE KIT. This questionnaire was paid for by Les Puree,
Vice President of Student Affairs, to determine whether or not
Evergreen students and staff are interested in carrying their own
eating utensils.
Tom Foote presented the concept to me, I in turn
presented it to the Native American Studies Program. They have
called it "neat," "wonderful" and "truly inspirational." But
before we can proceed with this project, we need to determine
how many people would actually use these KITs.
THE KIT is a high quality stainless steel knife, spoon and
fork connected by a ring for easy travel. The ring opens and the
utensil set works just like any other utensil set only these babies
go home with you! Now,I've seen business executives carry their
own utensils for business lunches, so the idea isn't that radical,
but this is the first time to my knowledge that this has been
proposed as a combatant against plastic waste.
In our research we discovered that over 3,000 plastic
knifes, spoons and forks are thrown away by Evergreen every
week. Plastic waste does not break down in landfills. It sits Like
a layer of rock in the earth and alters water flow making the
lcmd useless. If we could eliminate this waste, we could prove
to other communities that there are solutions available and we
could serve as a model for those communities to adopt this
program_ There you have it, Doom and Hope in the same article.
Please take the time to fill out the questionnaire and let us go
forward with this concept.
Along with this questionnaire, we will sell ten KITs to ten
people and study how they use THE KIT, how often, how they
wash it, and everything else that we want to know about the
use of it. We will set up tables in the CAB on Wednesdays to
take orders from volunteers who want to purchase THE KIT.
We will also provide further information about our project and
we welcome your comments aoout this at any time.
The questionnaire is on page five of this issue. If you have
any questions, please contact us at PEPE x6636 or on the third
floor of the CAB. Thanks.

The Evergreen Wilderness Resource Cen ter's rafting
program had more adventure than it bargained for recently
when three of the center's professional guides set out for the
Toutle River with a crew of novice paddlers on November 19.
That Sunday. two of the college's rafts flipped over due
to the ril'er 's high fl ow. At its onset, the in cident was handled
well by th e college's staff. all of whom are professional
whitewater raft guides during the summer and are
knowledgeable in safety techniques. Afterwards, they were
aided by the Toutle Fire Department and local search and
rescue volunteers. The participants were safe and apparently
healthy after the trip although scared by the hair-raising
experience.
The mishap stemmed from inaccurate information
provided to the college prior to the trip. After calling the
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's
whitewater hotline. a service which provides regularly updated
river flows, the guides found out that the gauge for the Toutle
River was broken. A NOAA hydrologist who was consulted
confidently projected the river's flow for Sunday to drop from
3,800 cubic feet per second, a levi' I already well within the
range which is considered safely navigable to whitewater
boaters. Within minutes into their trip, the rafters realized that
the hydrologist's estimate was not correct; they later found out
that the river was flowing a fast and dangerous 8,000 cubic
feet per second! One of the trip's participants said. "It was
scary ... but I know that this wasn't a normal trip."
The Toutle River originates on the north and west slopes
ofMt. St. Helens and joins the Cowlitz River near the town of
Kelso. The section of the river near its confluence with the
Cowlitz River is a favorite whitewater run for commercial
rafting companies, including Evergreen's whitewater
enthusiasts.
This incident is the first notable mishap out of over 100
raft rips in the last ten years and the first since the rafting
program's founding in 1976.
The Evergreen Wilderness Resource Center is currently
taki ng measures to enhance its safety techniques and methods
for determining river flows in order to provide safe, fun trips
for students and community. In addition to a debriefing of
the guides involved, the Wilderness Resource Center organized
a support potluck for participants from the incident.
Whitewater rafting trips will resume within several weeks. The
Wilderness Resource Center rafting program welcomes input;
please ca ll campus x6533 with questions, respon ses, or
suggestions for the Wilderness Center can improve its services.

bolster our ability to detect and
preventthefts from parked cars. The
effort to reduce crime and improve
community safety ranks very high
for the college administration.
Some of the things we can do
for ourselves that work toward
preventing thefts and improving
safety are: don 't leave valuables in
even locked cars and cerlainly not
where they can be seen from the car's
exterior; it's an invitation for
someone to break in. Try to park in a
well lighted area. Try to park where
there is more traffic flow. Don't leave
the car for an extended period
without checking it. And for recovery
purposes in case of a loss . it is
extremely important to record serial
numbers for later property
identification. Please also report
suspicious persons or activity.

Hemp
New source for Hemp found
To the Editor,
Regarding the two-part article on treefree papers: First, it was intended as the ERC
' (Environmental Resource Center) column,
and I want to give that dedicated student
group credit for inspiring me to write it.
Second, I wrote the column last November and
have since become aware of another source for
hemp-blend paper. This one is 90% hemp/lO%
cotton, made in Siovania. It is available as
writing pads at TESC Bookstore. Both pads
and 500sheetreamsof81/2" x 11' paper (and
How TO
a wide variety of other hemp products) are
available from American Hemp Mercantile,
Inc., 506 Second Avenue, Suite 1323, Seattle,
WA 98104; Office phone (360) 340-0124. FAX1086 and orders, 1-800-469-4367.
If anyone knows of any other sources of
paper incorporating non-tree biomass, please
let me know. You could pin the information
on the ERe board, CAB 3rd Hoor, or give me
a call at 705-0869.

by Virginia Lore
As a senior living on campus the last
two years, I often hear "How can you stand
it?" Well-meaning friends point out that they
would dIe of boredom ifforced to live in a
place that becomes essentially isolated as
soon as buses stop running. And when they
hear I've survived spring and summer
breaks. when even The Branch is closed, they
are truly shocked.
Now, I admit that after chalkwriting
was outlawed, I was in a funk. For about three
weeks I wand ered Red Square without
direction, confused and depressed. I even
considered moving, but something about the
place held me.
Call it magic or call it simply the
in convenien ce of selling my Housing
contract, but I felt bound to st..ly. It was at
this point that I made the Great Discovery.
While walking in the woods, I came upon a
Giant Silver Orb. With the Orb I found an
ancient-looking stone tablet, headed "The
1/3."
Secrets of Entertainment," and signed W
I couldn 't carry the tablet, so I quickly
jotted some notes, marked tbe place with a
red ribbon, and ran home to get my camera.
Following is a vague recollection of some of
the highlights:

Generation X, can be shaken simply by
getting a different physical viewpoint on the
world. If you are short, climb up on a study
corral in the library and see what the shelves
look like from six or seven feet up_ If you are
tall, lie on your back on the first floor of the
CAB some late Wednesday afternoon. The
point here is to see the usual world in an
unusual way.
2. Timing is everything. People who
don't live on campus may attend Evergreen
for four years without ever seeing Red Square
completely uninhabited, But there is
something startling in the peace of th e
Community Center at 8:00 on Sunday
morning, when you can smell the muffins
baking. And there is nothing like the power
of having the Computer Center to yourself
after midnight on a typical early quarter
Tuesday.
3. If you seek. you will find . It is
amazing what is here if you look. Evergreen
Expressions; KAOS. S&A, Housing, and
other groups often sponsor inexpensive or
free events on campus. The very best events
I have attended, though, and often the most
interesting, are presentation s of other
students' projects. Check with your friends
in performing arts, visual arts and media
classes for presentation tim es_
4. When the student is ready. the
teacher appears. Entertainment can be as

good as the people who share it with you.
When outlining planning your education
and recreation here at Evergreen, don't
overlook the value of getting to know staff
people. Real world learning comes from real
world people, Get to know the folks in
Housing, in Financial Aid, in Career
Planning, They're friendly and helpful, and,
if you're as lucky as I have been, they may
offer to bring the champagne to your
graduation party.
And finally ...
5. Real entertainment is not in the
pages of a calendar or on the dance floor of
your favorite nightclub. Real entertainment
is someth ing you carry with you. It's an
attitude that you bring to life, a willingness
to be charmed. a curiosity about your
immediate surroundings. For you can be
bored in New York, or fascinated in Hays,
Kansas. It's not in what you do, it's in how
you are.
As a post-script to this story, J went
back to the next day to the place where I had
found the Orb and the scrolL Although I had
marked the path carefully, I was startled to
find that both were gone. I looked all over
the clearing, and found nothing but a red
ribbon to mark the place where they had
been.
Virginia is graduating in two weeks and is
therefore qualified to share her wisdom.
It turns out bodies -really c~n talk!
I admit it. I was skeptical of this Talking Bodies
thing, Bodies don't talk, they can't talk, so how I was
I supposed to sit through a two hour perform ance of
something th at logically can not occur?
But, pushing my logical self aside, I let myself be
convinced to go.
The show proved me wrong. Those bodies were
talking! And except for 2 few exceptions, each of the
ten acts was a cleverly crafted story.
I part icularl y enj oyed the thi rd act in the
perform ance, Of Body. The short act successfully
articulated the diffi culties of being an "imperfect"
woman in a·world th at expects perfection. The three
women exposed the painful realities of a world that
tells every woman that her body is too th in, too fat,
too tall or too short.

The Millennium is Here!
by John Ford
Once upon a
time (in 1968). a
sma ll group of
conce rn ed and
thoughtful
individuals se t out
to change the
world via the sharing of practical knowledge.
The fruits of their labors became the original
\It'hole Earth Catalog and CoEvolution
Quarterl v, now known as Whole Earth
Review ~agazine. These publications
provided the reader with "access to tools for
lil'ing." that is, reviews of books, gadgets and
other resources for a better, more sustainable
life.
Twenty-seven years and six sequels to
the catalog later, the Whole Earth gang is set
to help usher us into the next century, with
The Millennium Whole Earth Catalog
(paperback, ISBN 0-06-251141-6, or cloth,
ISBN 0-06-251059-2, Harper Collins, $30).
Edited by cyberguru Howard
Rheinhold, Whole Earth is still a marvelous
compendium of "tools for living." Those
tools still range from the sim ple, like
ga rdening or com posting, to evolutionary
biology. From "whole systems" like the

to creating
"v irtual
rommunilies"
via
the
Internet,
the catalog
allows the
reader ways
to think/
enjoyment of the coordination ofthe bodies.
The performers never stepped out of
character and never let their facial expression
slip.
Another dance combined humor with
elegance. The high energy drumming in the
background gave the performance an
incredible power and strength not seen in the
other performance relying on canned music.
My other complaint is simply that I
would have liked to see more description in
)..
the program. I realize the necessity for
brevity but I think that important
information may have been sacrificed.
Overall, the performers put on an
excellent show, even for dance skeptics such
as myself. Additionally, I appreciated the fact
that the performers were willing to discuss
their work afterwards and be responsible for
their messages. I hope to see more creative
integration of different forms of dance in a
single show in the future.
Carson lied to me when she said she couldn 't
review this.

First off, hHead is a band, not a typo.
hHead is composed of Noah Mintz on
vocals and guitar, Brendan Canning on bass,
. M:lrk Bartkiw on drums, and Marc Crain on
"live sound." Since the release of their latest
album, "Jerk," the group has been described
as "a feisty yet compassionate up-and-comerwanna-be, well rehearsed yet lacking any
distinguishing qualities." I made this
description myself.
Or hHead is best summarized as a
promising run-of-the-mill grunge rock band,
and yeah, I'm a grunge rocker. I like nothing
more than a blurry album cover, gritty
distorteed guitar, and that whiny-depressing
"you suck-I suck voice" perfected by grunge
greats Eddie Vedder and David Pimer. In
these aspects, hHead really delivers.
Save for the percussion and the vocals,
the music remind , me a bit of a h~nd
formerly called Br"J. However, Brad is
better, and would still be better were it
composed of a one armed man with a bass
drum strapped to his back.
As an extra note, Bartkiw's rhythms fit
well, often resembling those of Yakima's own
Honey Seven.
hHead, imagine this, is not from
Seattle. They're from a far off place called
Canada. And although I probably couldn't
find it on a map, this "Great White North,"
the deliverer of the Crash Test Dummies and
Bryan Adams, sure is a musical let-down.
Jerk is hHead's first well distributed
album (they've already sent us two copies)
containing 13 tracks. Most of these are
legitimate efforts at relevant issues, yet many

The listings in the catalog aren't just
listings, they're essays to the reader, each one
its own fireside chat, warm, friendly but
never fluffY. Whole Earth has never been less
than thoughtful and concerned in their
publications, and the Millennium catalog is
no less so. Each page is a complete feast for
the mind, from appetizers to generous main
courses.
Most items in the catalog are relatively
affordable., and all items are actually
available, as opposed to the dreaded "out-ofprint," or no longer made.
In short, The Millennium Whole Earth
Catalog is all that its literary ancestors have
been, and more. It truly lives up to its claim
to providing "Access to Tools and Ideas for
the Twenty-First Century." ... at least if you're

The lot of a CPJ editor:
fail in their attempt to pull off more complex
musical structures, often allowing the flow
of the songs to wander and become boring.
Listening to the album , I really
appreciated the fact that each song comes
with its own story, found conveniently in the
album cover. I guess for poetic reasons never
disclosed, the band decided to print one set
oflyrics and sing another. Truly profound.
The first song, "Remedial," is self "
descriptive. It's about teenagers' frustration
in dealing with the labels imposed by their
educators. A worthy topic, however I hate to
wonder about twenty-somethings that are
still bl'aring their high school grudges.
. really C()~'lected wit 1.01, " fourth song,
"University." It '~ about a guy who opted out
of a higher education because the process
overwhelmed and bewildered him.
"Wi\l" is obviously the most artistic
track on the album. That's my best guess. I
