"NEGRO QUESTIONS THAT TIME WILL ANSWER"
Keenan Holmes
On Wednesday, the group responsible for
se lecting a third world feminist faculty
member met for the first time. The members
of third world feminist studies subcommittee
uf Lhe facu lty hiring DTF met to es tablish an
agenda for eva luating the poo l of applicants as
t9 recommend the two most qualified,
This meeting comes at the end of several
years of efforts to establish the position as a
ro ntinuing part of Ihe Evergreen curriculum.
As ea rly as 1990, th e Women of Color
Coa lition identified the presence of a facu lty
member with expertise in this area as one of a
list of demands for the campus.
In 1992, the temporary, or "v isiting"
~ t atus of faculty member and third world
feminist instructor Sunera Thunarni prompted
the fac ulty to take up the issue . In addition to
recommending the two-year retention of
Thunami, they resolved:
"Because there is a pressing need in the
curriculum. the faculty should create a
permanent position in 'Third World Feminist
St udies' and conduct a national sea rch. The
Wumen of Color Coalition should be involved
and consulted in writing the description of thi s
position."
Several factors have since kept this fru m
happening, Thunami left Evergreen before the
completion of her two years to take a position
as the head of the largest women's organizaLion
ill Canada. A two-year hiring freeze prevented
the hiring of any facult), fur continuing
positions - onl), visilin g fa culty were
permitLl'd.
This year a conLinu ing position in Third
Wurld feminist Studies was placed on the
Deans' prioritized hiring list. The position was
<ldvertised lasl fa ll. Positions 011 th l' li st get
filled based on their placen1l'nt, esLab lished by
the Deans in urder of priorily. BeGlUse of its
placement un the list, some observers recently
expressed Ihe concern that this position may
not be filled due to a limited allocation of
funds.
"The list is dynamic," said Academic
Dean Jose Gomez, "and th e Third World
feminist position has been moving up ... I
would he very surprised if this position was not
filled ." According to Gomez, the position is
currently prioritized fourteenth on the hiring
list.
A number of factors influencl' the order
of priorit iza li on, These incl ude budget
restrictions handed down by the legislature:
recent retirements, resignations or olher
departures of faculty member s holding
"essential" positions; and unique year to year
curriculum needs.
Faculty member Zahid Shariff noted that
student and faculty demand are primary
influences in determining the original hiring

• Alternative Housing
Friends of WHAT to construct house
by Ethan Espie
CPJ Slalf Writer
Most of us know the tale of the three little
pigs, who had differing opinions of how to uuild :1
house, two of whom met an il! fate at the hands (ur
rather, the breath) uf a hungry wolfwho blew down
their houses-one of which was built with straw and
one of which was built with sticks, In recent years ,
however, a few home builders in the United States
and uther pa rts of the world ha ve realized th e
potential of constructing homes with straw bales.
some of whom h<lve coined the motto, "the first lit III'
pig was right."
On Sa turday March 5, a group of stud enls
as~oc iat ed \\'ith
I h(' Wa~hington Ilollse of

New leader to chair NAACP
Myrlie Evers-Williams Myrlie Evers-W illiams was elected as th e new
chair of th e Na ti onal Association fo r the
Adva ncement of Co lored People (NAACP) on
Sa turday feb, lB .
She is the first woman chair of the oldest civil
rights orga nization in the country although
wome n accounl for 6S percenl of the
organization's membership,
Evers-Williams has been best known as the
widow of murdered civil rights leader Medger
Evers. Twice all -white juries were deadlocked over
the murder charges agai nst white-supremacist
Byron de la Beckwilh in the '60s , For 30 years,
Evers-Williams crusaded to bring about justice and
finally in 1993, de la Beckwilh WilS convicted of murder.
She says in the book I Dream a World, "In
the barrel of racism, Mississippi was at the
bottom ... I know what it is like to be in court and
wa Lch the man accused of murdering yo ur
husband and watch the Governor of Mississippi
walk in, sit down, shakl> hands and proudly slap
the accused man on the back,"
According to the Washington Post, EversWi lliams intends to steer the NAACP back to a
more moderate, mainstream course and try to
recruit younger members.
She replaces William F. Gibson, NAACP
cha ir for 10 years after a ll egaliuns he
misappropriated thousands ofN AACP dollars

Parking,c()sts m.aY
increase next y~ar
In 1991, a DTF was created to examine existh1g
parking regulations, special pernrits,dtations, etc. .
Recommendations have now been made to change
existing parking regulations ..
1) lncrease in parking permit fees
• Annual Permit
.Now: $54 Proposed: $75
• Daily Permit
Now: $.75 Proposed: $1.00
• Quarterly
Now: $22 Proposed: $25
2) Increases in parking violation charges
• No valid permit Now: $5 . Proposed: $10
• Ovenime parking Now: $5 . Proposed: $10
• Improper p!)sition Now: $5
Proposed: $10
Disability parking, bus zone parking \illd fire-lan e
parking fines would increase from $15.to $25 ..
These -changes are the result of increased cost of
maintenance:'
3) A provl$ion would be added to allow Parking
enforcement the regulated use of a wheel lock device for
impounding a vehicle in place. This would replace the
necessity of physically towing a vehicle away during
impound.
You can comment on these proposed changes you in
writing, by E-mail, or voice mail to;

by the faculty. "In many cases the
overall composition of the student
body has yielded positive results."
He said that this approach to
determining priorities also has
drawbacks. One is that interests
. that are already represented in the
curriculum tend to continue to be
represented: Relatively newer interests, such as the Third World .
Feminist Studies pOsition,· have a
harder time gaining representation in the curriculum.
Some students, notably
members of the Women of Color
Coalition and EPIC, had been collecting signatures on petitions.
They are seeking to establish permanent status of the position as
the top priority.
The membership of the subcommittee for hiring for the position includes faculty members Pe-

only one student expressed interest in the hiring process, EPIC coordinator Mona·Chopra.

Chopra, adding that she would
gladly participate and was sure that
she could find more students who
could invest in the process.
''I'm not sure I should be
thanking anyone right now. There
was a big hole in the curriculum

Building with straw bales is
actually not a very new practice .
Many pioneer communities in Nebraska and other parts of the plains
states built homes out of straw bales
from the mid-1800s through the
early part of this century. In the
1920s. the practice died out, but in
recent years has been revived by
thqse who choose to build homes in
a cheap, fast. low-resource manner.
"Why build with straw?" one

straw is incredibly insu latory.

frame houses have walls with R-values of 15 to 20. Most straw bale
walls have an R-value of 50 or more.
e R" refers to th e wall's ability to resist heat.)
Also. straw bale houses can be
constructed very fa st. While the intern al workings of the · hou se
(plu mbing, electricity, etc.) take as
long as they do in a regular house,
the walls of a straw bale house go up
very fast. Typically, a crew of a few
people can assemble the walls of a
straw bale house in a few days.
Most of all. straw is an agricultural by-product whi(h cannol be
used. Most types of straw (an not be
composted because of th eir hi gh
silica content and are consequen tly
burned every year. Straw in produced in all fifty states and every
province of Canada. As the prices
of wood products continue to soar.
straw bale houses make alli he more
se nse with regard to resource availabili ty.
Many conn'rn s abo un d concerning thi s practice: "Are th ey
structurally sound'?" "W hat about
rodents?" "What about moisture.
what about fire?"
St ra I'.' ba Ie ho uses a re very
structurally sound. Once the walls
are stacked, held down with either
cables and /o r rebar, and th en
capped wi th a roof, they are as strong
as any ordinary house. There are several straw bale houses in the United
States which have been standing for
a hundred years or longer.
Rodents are sometimes a problem with straw bale houses, but rodents are a problem in any house.
Once the straw walls are cove red
with chicken wire and a thi ck layer
of stucco. they are highly rodent-resistant.
Moisture and fire are problems
but , onc(' aga in. no more sO than in
any ordinary house. Beca use of how

Charlotte Tiencken-Wooldridge best
sums it up when she said, "This is the first time

that everything's fine and nobody's going to

be more careful and more aware." •

Responsibility & Power/Oisempowered & Irresponsible
You have probably noticed that there is
no student government on this campus. It is
remarkable that a public school such as Evergreen has no democratically elected superstructure to embody and reflect student concerns.
For aU the official talk about preparing students
for the future and wanting them to participate
in an optimal educational process, student representation is notable by its absence,
It is my belief that many of the more
troublesome phenomena at Evergreen can be
traced in whole or part to the absence of a representative student organization. I have personally heard comments from students that
indicate that they do not feel a sense of participation or ownership in the life of Evergreen.
Shortly before writing this column , I noticed
that the large-screen, colorTY in my dorm was
no longer connected via a safety cable to the
wall: someone had severed it. Part of the cable
was lying in the middle of the floor, in a room
full of students who seemed utterly oblivious
to this fact. When I remarked upon this, and
got up to report it to Public Safety, one person

dissenting viewpoints will rush in to fill the
void where meaningful involvement could
have been. In a space where the inevitable frustrations of democracy could be experienced
and viewed, lessons might be learned that
would not merely reinforce futility. Strong democracy does not result from in structing
people via' the example of being ruled by an
unelected caste. Noblesse oblige does not equal
democracy, and is not an adequate basis for
conducting public life. There can be no adequate substitute for real power.
Evergreen needs a st udent government.
I say this notwithstanding the farcica l aspect~
of student governments on some other campuses. Well , then ... can we. the vanguard of the
Politically Correct, do better? Are we prepared
to go where no Geouuck has ever gone before?
In any institution with pretensions of
claiming to teach and preach democratic prin ciples, power must reside in the hands of the
people. Most of the people at a college are students, It is the height (or depth) of irony that it
is necessary to advoca te "puwer to the people"

and the internet on the other hand did not act

Unfortunately the survey also identified
how uninformed many students are and how
little they participate in the campus' acti yities.
Many students were confused between the
capabilities of the Student Activities Office in
improving administrative and aca demic life. Of
th e 109 surveys return ed only 35 marked ways
in which th ey were active in the campus'
governance process and stlldent acti vities. Of

Dear Nomy,
This is a response to your article titled ,
"Yeah, duh ... like whatever dude." The article
was an answer to a letter and a man whom you
never identifY. No one except you and he know ,
what you talked about in the first half of your
column. What drew our attention was when
you say you want to address, "the race and class
implications of this whole issue." You don't say
what your issue is but the issue in the last part
of the article becomes whether "academic type
of writing" threatens enough to be a form of
resistance.
You use the term "traditJon al white
middle cl ass language" interch angeably with
"academic type of writing". This could be
accurate since academia didn't evolve throughout
the world from a white middle class. In your
analysi s of the "race and class implications of
an issue" you should define your terms because
races and cla sses are diver se . Acad emic
language defines its terms because it is possihle
to broadly interpret language .
You say th at you don't use "heady and

Dear Cooper Point Journal,
I found the cartoon by Jonah ILoeb) to
be offensive. I am proud to be a Catholic. That
such an anti-Christian cartoon is in the same
issue as celebrating Black History Month is
curious . Most African Americans are
Christian , and millions of African Americans
read th e Bible daily.
The Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. was of
course a fervent Christian, and accepted Jesus
Christ as his personal savior. Same with the
Rev, Jesse Jackson.
Jonah is obviously a very talent ed
cartoonist , I support his First Amendment
. rights to print whatever he wants,
I am simply asking him as a fellow human
being to honor diversity and stop the mea n
spirited cartoons.
Certainly Christians throughout history
have not lived up to the precepts of Jesus but
most of us try our best I will be praying for
Jonah and everyone at Evergreen.
So many voters have left the Democratic
Party because our religious beliefs are beli ttied
by so many leftists.
Let 's all honor div ersity and work
together to make a better world.
God bless you,
Tom Kenstowic.z

good writing anyone does is written about
things they know about. Therefore bad
writing, or shall I say mushy, wishy washy stuff
is written when someone doesn 't know what

obscure, ego-inflating, basement dwelling,
brick throwing things. as well as some things I
liked. More often than not my writing quality
has followed the above-stated rule, probably
always. But what do people mean when they
say 'things you know about '? Do I need a

not. I think I just ne ed a feeling. Wh o but

Sebadoh review: recorded
by Pat Castaldo
There's this sign on 1-90 as you head
west from Boston to the Amherst/
Northampton area - the valley - that
reads, "Buckle up, for safety's sake." There's
signs like this all the way from Boston to
Seattle, they're federally mandated. There's
something speCial about that near - valley
sign though, it use to read differently.
Replace "for safety's sake," with "it's
the law," and you've just done what the
voters of that commonwealth did in 1988voted to abolish the seat-belt law.
Replace Lou Barlow as the bassist for
Dinosaur Jr. and you've just done what J
Mascis did in that commonwealth the same
year..
Forget what you've read. Fuck what
else you've heard. Sebadoh is not Dinosaur
Jr. They're not even close. They're better.
The trio currently consists of Barlow
on guitar, Jason Loewenstein on bass and
Bob Fay on drums. Four orthe songs on their
recent release Bakesale (on th e no\\' par tWarner Bros. owned Sub-Pop label), have
Eric Gaffney on drums.
.
The album Starts with Barl ow
proclaiming possession of a "License to
confuse" and near-ends with him
explaining, "I need the drama mine to be as
crazy as I seem."
Sebadoh lives in that wacky world
where honesty is equated with insanity.
The liner notes of Bakesale have a
sketch of a boy and girl in front of an
airplane, they're holding hands, alilovey·
davey. It's all too perfect. It's a clip-ait
fantasy that never quite happens. It doesn't.
Browsers~
Loewenstein and Barlow sw itch hit
lyrically, taking turn writing songs which
have a clear understanding of the human
dynamic. Listening to the album over and
over again in your car, as auto-reverse
provides no impetus for changing tapes, you
begin questioning your own relations. Sings
Sebadoh, "but I know what I would like you
to be. A one night stand under stone
persuasion. "
Picking up the album you're libel to put
your thumb on the bottom of a young babe,
his all·too-aware curiosity taking him to the
bowl of a toilet. That's Barlow, August 1967.
That defenseless curiosity hasn 't left
him, and has spread through the album.
Questioning everything in earnest, "Why do
you tie me up with words? When will you be
through with me? I'd like to know. "
Sebadoh is coming to Olympia, and it
only seems fittin g. Stuck in a rained-oLlt, grey

"I know roman ce isn't e\'erything. but

singing about himself. about living in the
valley, or about you and your life in Olympia?
"Everyone's so lonely, I dig it. But I'm
