WHAT plans to build house

Well, Tuesdays at 4 :30 is
your chance to shine.
Come to our Stol'y Meeting
and suggest ideas, write a
story or take a picture.

Students work to construct real-life laboratory
by Pat Castaldo

CPJ Managing Editor

If WHAT has their way, the Evergreen
campus will be home to a new educational
structure--a house specifically geared toward
the use of sustainable living technologies and
practices,
WHAT stands for the Washington House
of Appropriate Technology and it is currently
an independent group contract of three
students under faculty member Rob Knapp.
"Appropriate technology is intelligent
technology, in such that you take into
consideration the surrounding environment,
the community and the cost," said Jeremy
Fuller, one ohhe cofounders of WHAT. Items
such as rainwater recycling systems and
composting toilets are working examples of
appropriate technology.
Their goal is to create a working facility
that will house three students and be an
educational resource for the entire community.
The house will be primarily used for the
sciences, both physical and environmental, but
would ideally hosta variety of applications.

"We want to create an experience, not
just a house," said Robin Stephani, another of
the cofounders of WHAT.
K-12 education, hands·on environmental
workshops and a student project workspace
are some ofthe planned activities for the house,
that would, according to Stephani, ideally be
located close to student housing.
Actual construction of the WHAT house
is a long ways off. The group predicts it will take
at least two years and it is co ntingent on a
variety of campus logistics, including a final
nod of approval from the Board ofTrustees.
The group is currently recruiting others
to assist in the research and planning. The
intcn tions of the house are so diverse, that they
are seeking people in areas as diverse as
architecture and biology.
Funding for WHAT is currently being
sought through grants and foundations.
Applications for 'seed' money (funds given to
groups to start projects which may later earn
larger grants) have already been mailed out.
There will be an informational meeting
for WHAT on Thurs., Nov. 10 at 3:30 pm in
Room 2242, Lab II.

Working in sex industry gives columnist clear insights

Absolutely. As a former caseworker I've seen how effective good prevention
programs can be at reducing the causes of crime. We must continue to
mobilize the community to get at these causes and be more.innovative in
preventing crime. My work for the Olympia Child Care Center and the
United Way and my financial support for Safeplace and activities like the
Yelm Skateboard Park have been my personal contributions to making our
county a better and safer community.

Staff Editorial

Ron Sims needs
your sup'port
The CP!s Forum and Response pages act to encourage
public debate. We want the editors of the CPJ to be
facilitators of information, not privileged participants. But
at times we find an issue that is so important we feel we
must step in and add our personal thoughts to the dialogue.
The Washington state Senate race is just such an
occasion.
The Senate race between Ron Sims and Slade Gorton
offers voters a dear choice for the future .o f our state. We
can choose Gorton again and have him fighting against
needed changes te the entrenched Reaganomics system. Or
we can choose Ron Sims, a man who promises to work with
the Democratic House and President to make the necessary
changes to the horrors of the Reagan/Bush years.
Gorton has spent the last six years demonstrating
where he wants this state and country to go. He refuses to
re~valuate the detrimental land-use policies in the Eastern .
Washington desert. He won't protect citizens from the
proliferation of handguns or assault weapons: He will only
protect the' rights of wealthy women to choose abortion.
Gorton voted against the family leave bill which would allow
parents to care for ill family members. He continually pits
the interests of the east and west sides of the states against
each other to further his own self,irlterest.
.
Ron Sims, on 'the other himd, will bring a fresh
perspective to the Senate that Washington state desperately
needs. He will work with the Ointon administration to
make the needed changes to help Washington state. On the
Seattle City Council, Sims demonstrated his commitment
to the community by working diligently for policies that help
the people without the ability to buy a senator's ear.
Sims promises to protect a woman's right to choose,
regardless of her financial status. He promises to fight for .
the rights ofthe working families of Washington by passing
legislation that assists them. He knows that the "right" to
bear arms infringes on other's right to live. He won't pit
Eastern Washington against Western Washington. .
Lastly, Gorton has over four million dollars to buy
political advertising which even Republicans describe as
"below the belt" negative campaigning. Sims however, is
working with only about $500,000. Don't let another Senate
seat be bought, vote for Ron Sims next Tuesday.

Do you find the library accessible? I am an intern for the
Library and Access Services. My internship is based on finding
out where the library is and is not accommodating to students
with disabilities and how to make it more accessible for those
students. Approximately two weeks ago I distributed 217
questionnaires to people with disabilities and 50 questionnaires
to library staff members who service. Out of .the 50
questionnaires to library staff I have received over half, which
is a good response. However, out ofthe 217 questionnaires to
students with disabilities I received one response.
Although the library is a public, services library, as
everyone should know, if they do not know already, the library
is not fully accessible to students with disabilities. Ifyou have a

I am writing in response to the flyers that the TESC
counseling and health center posted on campus on Oct. 27.
These flyers said "SHOOT UP NOW" with a photocopied
picture of a syringe. While this flyer was intended to advertise
immunizations being offered on campus, it accomplished an
entirely different goal. This flyer glamorized IV drug use. For
an organization that is supposed to be on campus for the health
and well being ofthe community this was a very negligent act.
IV drug use is not glamorous, it is dangerous. There are more
than 1.5 million IV drug users in the US, of them at least
350,000 are HIV positive. Thirty-two percent of AIDS cases are
IV drug use related. ~ith the dramatic increase of heroine and
methamphetamine ~se among college students today, IV drug
use is becoming much more widely accepted. This flyer
validates that acceptance. Anyone can see the danger in such a
message. To the person who designed and distributed that flyer,
please give some thought to the messages that you put out in
the future.

"Burning Lies"
Often during abuse of a child, the adult
abuser forces the child to promise to be silent,
"We are friends, this is our secret, you wouldn't
tell on your friend would you?" The abuser
often places the blame or guilt inappropriately
on the child, and even further contorts
responsibility by telling the child it is their job
to make sure, "Daddy doesn't get sent to jail."
A child relies on the adult for food, housing,
clothing and emotional needs and often does
not want Daddy to be sent away. This is one
example of silencing a survivor and contorting
the responsibility ofabuse.ln Cult Ritual Abuse
the programming "not to tell" involves
elaborate brainwashing and torture.
With extreme trauma, if there is no
support to help the person deal, such as
someone to teU, she will in part or in whole
repress the information. This is simply put storing away, hiding from consciousness. It is
a brilliant capacity and coping mechanisms to
survive and in many cases an alternative to
suicide. More than once I have heard survivors
say, "I would have died if I could not have
pretended it was just a bad dream and
eventually 1forgot." For a child the implication
of-this person I rely upon for basic necessities
is unreliable and unstable, or for Generational
Ritual Abuse Survivors - my family kills
people, is overwhelming. Do I really need to

explain the problem this creates for a six year old?
Despite all these huge obstacles there are
Survivors of Abuse who get to a safer place
(often adulthood) and find a way to tell the
secrets. This often involves the painful difficult
process of allowing the stored away boxes of
information to open and reveal the events of
the trauma. The alleged false memory is a last
attempt by abusers and their cohorts to try to
get Survivors to shut up. Throughout history
Womyn who have told of the violence
committed against them have been called
hysterical, having fantasies, on and on. We
have been given electric shock, sedatives,
restraints, invalidating "just put it behind you"
therapy, and still we stand to tell the truth.
I congratulate every Survivor who refuses
to obey their abuser(s) to keep the secret. I
congratulate myselves. I look forward to the
day when I don't have to take my time and
energy to write responses to Survivor backlash.
We have more important things to talk about
like how incredible it is that we made it
through and we are healing now.
Listen to and trust yourself
P.S. Ifyou are going to have sympathy for
something being burned, why don't you take
a moment to think of children burned and
killed by their parents.
Robin Adalina Landsong

Beyond silence is our freedo~
I hear the silencing of survivors. I see that
years of subtle to overt oppressive acts have
slowly been crushing our voices. I see the man
in Red Square spitting out his hate for his
daughter and the wcimyn she has become. T
see his burning plywood signs bringing more
outcry than the children raped, beaten.
tortured, and murdered, every minute of every
day, in thi~ town, in this state, in this country.
Today. Right now. Silently,
Just who holds the freedom bf speech?
those in power are willing to pay to silence any
voice which threatens their control. There is
no such thing as a -:false memory syndrome."
There is such a thing as survivors remembering
horrendous child abuse, and asking now for
social change. There is such a thing as abuse
survivors gaining public validation and
support for the first time in history.
I see this backlash movem ent as a
testament to the power of our voices. I have
seen when I have told my own story, most
people have responded with caring and
concern. So many times we have been silenced
by abusers. because when we dare to speak, we
can be.believed. So many times our anger has
been punished by abusers, because when we
dare to show our anger, social change begins.
I believe that the lives of children are more
important than those hurt feelings of a man

whose own grown chi ldren remember he
abused them.
I am angry, and I am a survivor of ritual
abuse. I have been raped , beaten, physically
and emotionally tortured, sold into
pornography and prostitution as a child. I am
angry that my abusers deprived me of the safety
entitled to a child. I am angry that their abuse
has deprived me of a family. I am angry that I
am forced to watch abusers defending power
to destroy the lives of their own children. I am
angry that the battles in court sway strongly to
their favor. I am angry that the penalties for
rape and murder are so light when the victims
are just children and the convicted is their
parent. I am angry I have heard the threats of
these abusers and hesitated to speak the truth.
But every challenge makes me stronger.
They have failed to stop me with the dregs of
my own fear. They will not kill my rage at this
injustice. They cannot stop sur\'ivors from
healing and declaring the crimes against our
bodies and our souls. The voices of survivors
have begun a revolution: making the choice to
heal is the doorway to our freedom. Our
outrage is a threat to the privilege of abusers,
and I will use my voice to set some fires.

FMS activist defends Chuck Noah
Dear Editor:
I wanted to write to you and thank you
for covering Chuck Noah's trailer burning at
TESe. It gives people the opportunity to see
the dividing lines on the issue of "repressed
memories" and the case of Paul Ingram. It
seems to come down to being on one side of
the fence or the other on this issue.
For years now, I have been involved in
Paul's case. I come originally from assuming
Paul's guilt because of his "confession" but after
reviewing almost all the evidence in the court
records, and interviewing the people who were
personally affected by this case, I carne to the
conclusion that Paul was an innocent man. I
then founded the Paul Ingram Right To A Fair
Trial Organization.
1want to strongly condemn the actions
of the people involved in defacing and
destroying Chuck Noah's property. I find it so

amazing that it's not all right to publicly
exe rci se free speech, for a calise that one
believes in, but it is all right to commit a felony
of arson, plus thrl'aten the lives uf the
emergency personnel who rrspond to put out
your cowardly message. If you have a problem
with what our cause is abou t. then I strongly
recommend you challenge us and debate us,
not sneak around and commit felo ni es.
Voltaire once said. "I disapprove of what you
say, but I will defend to the death your right to
say it. " This kind of ideoLQgyis what our
country is about. It appears you have lost focus.
Before you continue with your modern day
witch hunt I strongly recommrnd you go back
and read the Constitution. especially the area
ofthe right to free speech .

Topo, a transcendent Western

by Demian A. Parker
November 11, world-renowned cult
filmmaker Alejandro Jodorowsky will come
all the way from his hidden retreat
somewhere in the wilds outside of Paris to present the first
"midnight film ," EI Tapa, or The Mole.
When I let my father know this, he to ld me EI Topo
was his favorite movie twenty years ago. Now having seen
the film, I have started to wonder if this man should have
been helping to form young minds.
fl Tapa follows the traditional Western formula, but
Jodorowsky calls it "an eastern. not a western." It is a story
of a quest for enlightenment.
I am sure there is a lot of symbolism in the movie. It
is a complete experience. Even when I was confused, there

It made me wonder ifthere was a lifetale reflecting on one woman's life. One

The dialogue comes about as Billy is musician (I say choice in the sense of playing
