-Try to find a way to keep statistics on
queer student admission and retention.
-Provide domestic partnership benefits
to queer students, faculty and staff.
Many of these things are provided by
Evergreen to groups traditionally
discriminated against, but at thi s time. all
queer-speci fic services are provided hy the
EQA - an S&A funded student group.
"There needs to be so mething more
than that, I mea n that's why Pirst People' s '
was created ... Student groups were having
to do al l thcse things that they obviously
couldn't do like advise incoming students
and all of that. It's really difficult when
you're paid for eight hours a week," said
Eckersley.
"We're supposed to be like a club you
know, we're supposed to plan social events
and maybe an educational event. We're not
supposed to be pressuring teachers and all
of that stuff, I mean obviously we are but
ideally we're not supposed to be doing that:'
Most frustrating is the seeming
unwillingness of faculty to give queer issues
any attention, says Eckersley.
A few years ago there was a "big
movement to get faculty interested," but
according to Eckersley, "At our big meeting,
Brian Price was the only faculty who came."
Queer studies has only recently gained
validity in the academic world, and this might
explain Evergreen's lack of faculty interested
in it. But according to Eckersley, this doesn't
explain why there haven't been effo~s to hire
any faculty specifically for their queer studies
background.

This year the Evergreen Queer Alliance
(EQA, formerly the Lesbian Gay Bisexual
People's Resource Center) formed the
Coali tion for Queer Concerns, a group that
examine ways in which Evergreen can be
more inclusive of queer cu lture and concerns
in its efforts for diversity.
EQA co-coordinator Camilla Eckersley
says. "At this point. divers ity [at TESC]
do es n ' t necessarily include queers.
Someiimes it does and sometimes it doesn't."
Eckersley feels that while Evergreen's
ideas about diversity have made the college
a more comfortable selling for queer
students. more needs to be done on
institutional and academic levels to recognize
and celebrate what queer culture has to offer
- as is supposedly the case with other
groups, cu ltural or otherwise, on campus.
The Coal iti on printed their objectives
in the EQA's April newsletter. They ask that
Evergreen:
-Hire an administrative queer advocate.
-Hire faculty capable of and willing to
teach queer history, theory. culture and
politics.
.
·Encourage current faculty to include
queers in their programs. particularly when
"di versity" is an issue.
·Offer homophobia and heterosexism
workshops and academic trai nings for
faculty.
·Ask the Counseling Center to form a
queer support group.
·Create official "queer-friendly"
housing option.
·[nclude photos and bios of "o ut"
queers in the catalog
·Offer new students info about queer
issues at TESC.

Ten gallons of oil spilled during a
project at the Central Utility Plant on Tuesday
morning have not contaminated Geoduck
Beac;h, according to Facilities Director Ken
Jacobs.
Contract workers from PemCo spi lled
heating oil they were transferring from an
old underground tank to one of five new
tanks installed this fall.
The oil flowed through campus storm '
drains to Hidden Springs Crick. The creek.
near A-dorm off Overhulse Road. flow s
through college land and e mptie s out of
Geoduck Beach, near the Geoduck House.
Jacobs believes the spill has been
contained and the oil will not empty into
Puget Sound.
" I went down there Tuesday night, just
to make sure for myself the oil wasn't going
into the bay, and it wasn't," said Jacobs.
Containment bins between the storm
drains and the creek allow water to flow out
only from the bottom. Oil floats to the surface
and the slick is absorbed absorbant booms
and pillows placed in the creek.
But a student near the creek Tuesday
reported a strong oil sme ll and a rainbow
slick on the surface of the creek.
Investigating the report, Hal Van Gilder,
Pacilities e mployee and project manager.
said the system was working perfectly and
evidence of further contamination must have
been circumstantial.
New Facilities engineer Rich Davis.
a:so said the film did not necessari ly mean
that oil was getting into the creek.
Facilities workers continued to check
and replace absorbant pads and booms in the
creek each hour Tuesday and Wednesday.

booms and pillows, and also to skim the oil
sc um from the water in the containment
system.
As a precaution. Jacobs said he will
leave the absorbant booms and pillows in
the creek until PemCo has completed work
on the tanks.
A similar spill of 15 to 20 gallons of
oil from the Central Plant two years ago did
not cause beach front damage.

Vandal creates lethal lightpole
by Sara Steffens
An unknown vandal opened the plate
al the base of a lightpole by Q-dorm and
snipped its inside w irin g, leaving behind
wires li ve with 208 volts of electrici ty.
enough to kill anyone who tuuched them.
Fac iI i ties Mai ntenance worker s
discovered and repaired the exposed wires
April 6 during a regular check oflhe Housing
li ghtpo les.
"It's very, very dangerous to mess with
those light,," said Maintenance emp loyee
Clint Steele .
"It could have definitely been lifethreatening," said Housing Director Jeannie
Chandler.
The lights are activated by a light
sensitive cell. so a moment of darkness. such
as a cloud cover, could activate the lights,
causing someone tampering with the wires
to be electrocuted.
Steele says many lightpoles have been
damaged by people throwing rocks. Steele
suspects the rocks are thrown by Phase "
and III housing residents upset that lights
from the poles shines in their second and
third floor windows, keeping them awake at
night.
Chandler says she has heard that
residents complain about the lights. but very
few actually talk to anyone in the Housing
office.
Maintenance checks the Jightpole s
about once every three weeks. according to
Steele, and have replaced bulbs six or seven
times this year already.

"We're battling wilh less staff. so it',
frustrating," said Steele.
Chandler hopes the conllict over the
lights 'had been resolved . With help from a
housing resident. she and Housing
Maintenance Director Bob Carlson made a
map of lights which could be partiall y
shie lded to accomodate residents. Not all
lights could be covered though. bec<luse the
light is necessary for pathway safety.
Facilities Maintenance worker s
completed work on the lights about three
weeks ago .
In August . 1989. an Evergreen
maintenance mechanic. David Malcolm. was
electrocuted and killed while working on a
campus lighting problem. The Department
of Labor and Industries investigation ruled
the death an accident. saying there was no
way Evergreen could have prevented the
incident.

Author delves into infamous
Olympia Satanic abuse case
by Pat Castaldo
In 1988, then Thurston County Deputy
Sheriff Paul R. Ingram was accused of
sexually abusing his own ((hildren as part of
a satanic cult. He pleaded guilty and was
sentenced to 20 years in jail.
Rememberillg Satall, a new book by
Lawrence Wright, recounts the entire Ingram
tale, complete with background information
. and analysis.
The case is based on what are
commonly called repressed memories recollections of events that are suppressed
due to their extreme emotionally damaging
nature. The validity of repressed memories
has become a so urce of increasing
controversy over the last few years.
In 1988, Ingram's daughter Ericka
came forward at a church retreat to say that
she had been sexually abused by her father.
Ingram's other children, with the
exception of their son Chad, also came
forward with stories of abuse.
When questioned about the incidents by
police, Ingram said that he "couldn 't picture"
doing any of those things. He did say,
however, since he raised his daughters well,
that they must be tell ing the truth.
This type of logic, in combination with
heavy religious dogma - including ajail cell
exorcism in front of two police detectives
that resulted in Ingram vomiting - led
Ingram to produce incre as ingly vivid
memories of the events.
He recounts the events in his exorcism
diary:
"What I now realize was fear within me,
at that possession. I could feel this in my
stomach like a hardness or even a fist that
would grip my [sic] from the inside. J asked
for Pastor John Bratun and when he came in
I asked him to deliver me from the 'demon
possession' as I called it.. . .
"We prayed together and then he had
me kneel on the floor bending over a waste
basket. He told me to cough from deep inside
my chest or stomach .. . I expected some dark
mass to come out of me to remove that
hardness in my stomach."

Analysis
As the caSe went on, the detectives
pushed for more information . Through
continued interviews with all parties
involved, the stories of abuse only got worse.
What started as an apparently simple
case of child abuse, blossomed into
allegations of an entire underground satanic
cu lt. Ingram named others who were involved
in the events. many of them co-workers in
the Sheriff's department.
Two others were also charged in the
case, both friends of Ingram, Jim Rabie and
Ray Risch.
Interviews and investigations continued.
According to Wright's book, the police
desperately sought physical evidence.
Ingram's entire property was excavated in
search of human and animal bones that were
allegedly buried there after certain satanic
rituals. Nothing was found.
Pushing for a conviction, a deal was
made between the State of Washington and
Ingram. He pled guilty to the existing charges,
on the contingency that no new charges would
be filed .
Lack of physical evidence meant that
the cases against the others were dropped.
Paullngram was the only one to go to jail for
the alleged satanic sex abuse cult.
Many maintain that Ingram is innocent.
including Ingram himself. Remembering

Homeless activists are celebrating a
small victory in Olympia. Last week it was
announced that the Olympia Federal
Building cou ld become available as a
homeless shelter.
Michael Bradley, an Evergreen student
and activist with the Sustainable Community
Homeless Empowerment Movement
(SCHEMe), considers the move a victory in
an ongoing struggle to fight homelessness
in Olympia. "The very fact that the building
is available is a direct result of SCHEMe's
activities," Bradley said.
After the First Baptist Church Men's
Center closed March I, SCHEMe sponsored
a rally and occupied Sylvester Park with a
tent city which housed over 60 homeless
people until March 16, when the Governor 's
office ordered the protestors to vacate.
About 34 homeless people were given
rooms at the Holly Motel in Lacey by the
Department of Trade and Eco.n omic
Development but were evicted on April 12
when their rent vouchers expired.
SCHEMe, the Low Income Housing
Institute (LlHI) , and the Archdiocese
Housing Authority made a presentation to the
federal government to make the building
available for use under the McKinney Act.
The McKinney Act provides that surplus

federal property be made avai lable to assist
the homeless. The federal government could
either put the building up for sale or take
applications for use under the McKinney Act.
SCHEMe would like to see the building
turned into 30 to 37 units of single occupancy
transitional housing for homeless people. The
downtown location could be good for people
looking for work and needing assistance
from the nearby Health Department and other
agencies . The average stay would be 90 to
180 days .
There is still tremendous oppos iti on
from the city and downtown merchants who
do not want another homeless shelter to open
downtown.
Opposition to using the Federal
Building for transitional housing is based on
misinformation, according to Bradley. One
opposition group circulated a poster which
claimed the shelter would be a flop house
for 200 transients.
Mario Flores. a homeless activist and
member of the Evergreen community,
expects a decision to made in 60 days at the
latest. Flores is very optomistic and says,
"This project is the direct result of homeless
people solving their own problems in very
real ways."

Punctuation and smiley faces explained by the Grammarians
It's not just words, it's the way one
puts them all together that's important.
And of course, in order to fonn a wellmannered sentence, or any sentence at all
for that matter, one needs to properly use
those powerful tools of punctuation.
Most punctuation marks ' are
correctly used by all of us, even those
who say that they know nothing of
grammar. You do know grammar; you're
just afraid to admit it. Okay, quick quiz:
where does a period go?
Very good. There are those few,
"specialized" marks that receive less use
and are perhaps confusing to some. Well,
don't worry, we're here to clear up this
mess for you for once and for all. Then
you too will be able to wield colons and
ellipses with grace, sty le, accuracy, and
confidence! A parenthetical is only
acceptable when prop.::dy punctuated, and
, 1
a well-placed semicolon may win you
great respect.
So let's start at the very beginning
- a very good place to start. Wait, we
already delennined that you all know
where to put your periods, so we can start
a little after that. How about something
more complicated, like the dash?
The
first sentence of thi s paragraph
demonstrates one of the various correct
Queer students challenge TESC, from cover
academics and not just talked abo ut in thi s
so rt of superfil: iClI way, like Cl week on
homophobia or whatever. that's not queer
studies, thClt 's n.o t queer history. queer
theory... All you can do are these basic human
sexuality wurses .. . and that' s not it ." said
Eckersley.
While many administrators and staff
say they support the EQA's objectives, very
little has changed on an administrati ve level.
However, the Coalition seems to be making
progress in campus housing.
Housing Director Jeannie Chandler.
Eckersley and Jules Sibbern, also an EQA
co -coordi nator met last Wednesday. The
group discussed how housing could become
more hospitable to queer students.
Meeting participants hope the housing
applicat ion form will eve'ntu all y include
three optional yes/no boxes; one to choose
non-homophobic housing, one to req uest
queer specific hou s in g (though not
necessarily worded that way), and a third box
asking if the student would like to be put on
the EQA mailing list.
Unlike students of color, on whom data
is kept for retention analysis and diversity
specific at io ns. there are no record s or
stati stics kept on queer students, even thought
the school includes "sex ual orientation" in
its Affirmative Action Statement. While the
names of people of co lor can be and are
forwarded to First People's Advising. there
is no such li st of queer students.
Chandler also said that s he, Vice
President for Student Affairs Art Constantino
and S&A Director Tom Mercado have
recently been discussing the importance of
increasing awareness about hate-crimes ,
spec ifically in light of the anti-gay rights
initiatives being proposed in Washington
State. They feel it is important for people to
know their rights and resources when dealing
with hate crimes.
While the EQA can presently send
people to sit on DTFs. advise faculty and
administration , and provide support groups
and counseling to queer students, it is still
just a student group and student groups are,
by their nature, unstable.
"I can say that I'm going to do all these
things now, but what happens when I leave?
And if the center falls apa rt, everything

uses of the dash. In this ease, it was used
to set off a parenthetical (you know,
those little aside comments . that don '(
really have all that much to do with your
main point but that you want to say
anyway). The dash is also used to mark a
break in the flow or tone of a thought.
These can be especially useful when
writing dialog, where people often
interrupt themselves. In the mornings,
Vanessa is prone to this type of behavior,
as she stumbles around the kitchen,
saying "I'm running late - where did I
put that coffee? Oh, it's - but am I
forgetting something?" Well, you know
what morning grogginess is all about.
Dashes are kind of boring, though.
They're cool to usc at times, and they
provide a nifty break from the tedium of
commas. But as with any good thing, it
can be overdone. While it's okay to go a
litLie crazy with dashes in yo ur informal
writing , you should still take care to
avoid a writing style that resem bles a
diary from the nineteenth century. Ancl
you' ll certai nly want to exerc ise some
restraint in all writing intended for a more
'" "proper" audience.
Let 's get to the real meaty stuff.
The biggest punctuation confusion seems
to be whether to usc a colon or a
semicolon (and which one is which). We
hav e witnessed anxiety in otherwise
ration a I human beings over usi ng
sem icolons. It' s time to stop living in
fcar and learn the rules. There's no need
to cowcr bchind choppy and imbecilicsounding sentences or long, convoluted
, and comma-laden structures any longer!
It' s not hard, actually. You can
think of it this way: use a semicolon
when a sentence includes two complete
but related thoughts but there is no
conjunction joining them . Clear and
concise conveyance of thoughts is nice;
we use semicolons to achieve this end.
One should also use semicolons
in a list to separate a series of items
which contain commas themselves.
Loviya gave her pals some nice, thick,
juicy grammar manuals; a few wellsharpened pencils; a copy of
Grammarians' Corner, signed by herself;
and other accessories in hopes that they
would learn to express themselves well.
. Once that tricky semicolon
confusion is out of the way, colons are
even easier to use. The colon is basically
a formal introducer to call attention to
wl)at follows in the sentence. For
instance , Vanessa met a nice young
fellow on the bus that swore to her a
solemn oath: "They' ve already started
tattooing barcodes with ultraviolet ink
into the arms of people on the east coast
so that They can keep track of all our
movements." This led her to a startling
conclus ion: she should sit in the back of
the bus more often . The difference
between these instances and the ones
illustrated above as using semicolons is
that the first part of the sentence direcLi y
leads to the second thought. The colon
directs attention to what is to follow, as
it helps explain the first thought
exprcs~ed. And it adds a nice bit of drama,
don't you think? These rules include
lists, of course. In a sentence that lists a
series of item s, th e co lon sets off the
introduction from the series. Thus the
colo n can be used to set off the
following: an explanation or s ummary, a
series, or a quotation.
And then, of course, there's all
those really super-an noying sm iley-face
c haracters that one sees all over the Net
these days. But for some reason we don't
quite consider: ) to be proper grammar;)
A voi d these in your non -electronic
comm unications if you can.
Lovir;a alld Vanessa are enjoying
the lovely sprin g weather.

situation of dominance and control by
maki.n g me feel uncomfortable in my
own space, fear is used on a broader basis
to perpetuate the patriarchy.
For this reason, merely my own
admission of my fear discloses serious
contradictions. The cognition of fear
means acknowledging the dangerous,
misogynistic society we reside in - and
for many women this realization is a
difficult one. Recognizing our own fear
means we potentially become vulnerable.
Ignoring it, however, means denying a
basic fact of life - that fear exists
precisely because it is used as a weapon
of control.
The step after recognizing fear
exists brings more contradictions.
Although it can be an empowering
experience for many women, the
decisions concerning personal protection
are rarely easy.
Some women choose to arm
themselves. The proliferation of ads and
articles in magazines such as Guns and
Ammo or the creation of new magazines
such as Women and Guns testifies to the
new market that women offer to the gun
manufactures.
Suddenly, in an act of
empowerment, women find themselves
with strange bedfellows like the NRA and
Smith and Wesson . Unfortunately, by
buying guns to protect themselves,
women s upport the very institutions that
c reate the conditions that make it
necessary to purchase a gun.
But most of the actions are less
dramatic than purchasing a gun but they
still encompass the same contradictions.
Like my decision to ride the
elevator even though I dreaded riding with
the two drunks, the decision to use the
escort service ' offers a similar
contradiction. On the one hand, college
campuses are notoriously dangerous' for
women. On the other hand, calling
security means trusting someone "in
authority" with your safety instead of
trusting yourself.
Contradictions of safety occur in
other less obvious aspects of women's
lives also. Deciding whom to date creates
an entirely new arena of contradictions.
Heterosexual women cannot date blindly.
Trust becomes more than an topic for
sappy pillow talk but instead it becomes
a very corporeal issue.
Since fear is such a powerful
weapon, simply acknowledging its
existence isn't enough. While we
shouldn't live in an dream reality where
women just imagine date rape (like on
the Bev or in Katie Roiphe's fantasy
world), we do need to be careful about
who we allow to know our fear. The two
guys in the elevator obviously wanted me
to fear them and showing them my fear
would have meant that they controlled the
situation.
Sharing with each other, through
a FIST class or other workshops on
defense, allows us to work through the
problem ourselves. Learning to deal with
fear means learning to protect ourselves
(and each other), without relying on
sporadically helpful forces. It is also a
extremely personal issue and we shouldn't
allow others to define how we protect
ourselves.

In a society thill tolerates and
encourages violence against. women, we
learn quickly that fear is part of a natural
and daily life. Learning to live with the
contradictions of the politics of fear leads
many women into confusing choices and
difficult, painful decisions.

Even though it was 6 p.m. on a

began to feel alarmed. I didn't want to

Basketball DTF Recommendations
Primary Recommendation:
The undersigned members of the Basketball
DTF unanimously recommend that The Evergreen State College begin plans for competing
in iritercollegiate basketball in the National
Association ofintercollegiate Athletics (NAJA)
with the following stipulations:
I. That there be two teams; one for women,
the other for men.
2. That the sport be able to sustain itself
financially.
3. That no state general fund money be
allocated directly for intercollegiate basketball.
4. That a prospectus relative to our plans be
developed by the Director of Recreation,
Wellness and Athletics, which could be
used by Admissions and by the Athletics
staff to market our basketball program.
5. That coaches be hired on at least a part
time basis in the year 1994-1995, so that adequate recruiting and marketing can be accomplished in preparation for the actual competitive season which would be during the academic year 1995-1996.
6. That the Director of Recreation, Wellness
and Athletics review the program annually
and, along with the Basketball DTF members,
make a detennination relati ve to continuing the
program at the end of four years of operation.
Rationale for Recommendation:
The undersigned considered the following issues
in arriving at their recommendations:
, s
I. The results of the survey conducted by the
DTF during the 1992-1993 academic school
year had limited response and left no clear
mandate either positively or negatively; however, there was slightly mQ,re support than opposition to the concept of entering into intercollegiate basketball.
2. That the introduction of basketball would

enhancing the cultural diversity of the campus.
4. That it was conceivable atthe time of this

5. That the gymnasium was ad~quate if not
excellent for competing in intercollegiate
basketball.
6. Members of the DTF have pledged themselves to continuing to assist in the development of off campus sponsorship.
7. Members of the DTF express gratitude
and support to the members of the Tuition
Waiver committee for their unanimous decision to award tuition waivers to intercollegiate athletes. including the possibility of
basketball, should we desire to get into it. It
was the rationale of the Tuition Waiver
committee that intercollegiate athletics represents a positive impact on the campus
community and the community at large,
and that basketball would be a fine addition.

Proffitt's Clubside
helps community
Enough is enough. When are people
going to leave their little worlds,
communicate and get involved rather than
just sit back and bitch?
Yes, we are writing about the recent
articles in the Cooper Point Journal
complaining about the change in ownership
o f the Clubside Cafe. Proffitt's Cafe has been
open only two weeks, and it seems a couple
of people have an ax to grind.
Several articles and letters have been
published in the public media without the
complaints brought to our attention. This
makes it very difficult for a new business to
establish its own identity when people refuse
to allow the owners the information that a
problem exists.
Businesses would not remain in
business very long if they ignored the
co ncerns of their customers, but
co mmunication is a two way street. The
Proffitt family, through sevcral businesses ,
have brought quality products, excellent
services and great value to Olympia area
customers for many years. Proflitt's Cafe is
no exception.
Proffill's Cafe supports local businesses
by buying locally. using local services and
as business grows, local employees. The
prices for the food are lower, the menu has
more selection and flexibility, and the meals
are made fresh. The music selection has
expanded to accommodate wider tastes .
The cafe has been painted for a fresher
look, including the rest room . If you have
something to write on the rest room wall.
please make it worth reading. Yes, even
blackboards get erased every once in a while.
The "Wall" has been expa nded to
accommodate more information on local
activities and items of interest. Art is very
subjective, is it not?
One leiter mentioned "the little Indian
'squaw ' painting." This painting was done
by Joan Painter. a well known western artist
of Native American heritage. As a graduate
of The Evergreen State College. Chris was
very surprised by the use of the words
" Indian squaw" by a student of her alma
mater.
Pro ffitt 's Cafe features (some paintings
of Mount Rainier for sale by a Northwest
artist: the money carned goes to help with
the family's large medical bills. The letter
writer did not ask for infOlmation about the
Mount Rainier paintings, just criticized them
in the publi<.: media in ignorance. Some
people need to get a life.
Proffitt' s Cafe supports local artists
with displays on a rotational basis. Proffitt's
Cafe is becoming involved with many
programs in the downtown area helping the
hungry and homeless, youth who are at risk,
and building bridges between the generations
to provide better understanding and
cooperation.
We arc surprised with Thc Evergreen
State College's reputation as a bastion of
liberal and open thought, that certain students
have so much to learn about tolerance, social
consciousness and maturity. A few of them
just need to grow up. We guess some people
are right, the old Clubside is gone, but the
new Proffitt's Cafe is here. Give us a chance.
and help us make a difference.

CPJ1s coverage of GEDeON abduction was misleading

prophetic ...

Evergreen community that . no. our

our fellow student groups holding events
during the con.
That being said, I would like to risk
turning a fairly sma ll controversy into a
larger one by commenting on the coverage
of geocon by various individuals at the CPJ.
I am a member in good standing of the
Camarilla, with friends in the organization,
and a person responsible for putting on
geocon. As such, I do have a vested interest
in having GEOCON be an annual Evergreen
ce lebration . Obviously, serious incidents
suc h as these, and coverage such as thi s,
makes it less likely that geocon will occur
again . However, I don't think my partiality
should obscure the points I am about to make.
[ consider the journal istic st y Ie that Seth
Long used in his article, "Camarilla denies
invo lvement in geocon abduction charge",
to be an excellent example of National
Enquirer-style sensationalism. Seth, having
read the police report, apparently made up
his mind about what the story was going to
be about, regardless of any information later
presented him.
The title of the article itself shows this
bias. After all, if you heard a story with the
headline "White House denies role in
Whitewater cover-up charge," you would
assume that someone has alleged that the
White House, or someone in it, has covered
up information. So the logical assumption
here to draw from that headline is that the
Evergreen chapter of the Camarilla is
accused of an active role in the abduction.
There is no such accusation that has
been made, but what has been alleged is that
four people "dressed as vampires," which I
would assume either means they look like
Bela Lugosi or they dressed in black; took a
person to the basement, interrogated.
intimidated and assaulted her, at which point
she was found by a friend and was taken to
the CAB basement. This s uppo sed ly
happened at about 2:30 a.m . on Saturday
morning.
What Seth mentions at a later point in
his story, but the Security Blotter ignores, is
that Jason Soles, the Camarilla cocoordinator, stated that there was no
Camarilla event at that time. Speaking in my
capacity as GEOCON coordinator. I agree with
him. I had done some patrols through the

Response
Camarilla's assigned areas at about 1:30 to
2 a. m., just before I wen t to bed after an 18hour day. There was no one down there.
Certainly not four Dracula look-alikes.
The people who responded to this girl's
request for help were, in large part, Camarilla
members. I am sure that if they had found
these abductors, if they exist, they would
have been happy to see them arrested, since
this is exactly the sort of activity we don't
want to encourage, or sanction. These sorts
of injustices and attacks are what we stand
against.
As an aside, Seth, do you honestly
think that the Camarilla honestly thinks that
they are vampires? If not, then why did you
say " thus making specific vampire
recognition difficult" at the end of your
article? Or do you think that there are real
vampires on campus?
We stand against being unjusLly
labeled. We don't want tei be "recognized"
as vampires. but as fellow students and
community members who want a safe
campus. We don't condone abusive or
assaultive behavior. That's not what
CamarilIa events are for, that's not what
GEOCON is about, even if Seth Long thinks
we are encouraging it.
Rob Taylor
Would the reporter weloome the same
comment or flirtatious act from a male
waitperson or only a female waitperson?
When does a comment or act become sexual
harassment? Where is the line drawn? Who
defines that line?
PanialIy due to questions such as these,
truly professional waitpersons treat customers
with respect regardless of race, creed, color,
religious affiliation, national origin and yes,
sexual orientation.
Did the reporter get treated with respect?
Did the reporter receive efficient, prompt,
friendly, and professional service? Did the
reporter eat a good meal properly prepared?
Did this cafe live up to the unwritten contract
between business and customer? The article
said yes.
Yet the cafe and the hard worki ng
waitperson were downgraded (i .e.
"slammed") because the waitperson did not
" flirt" with the reporter. This outlook displays
signs of self-centered, immature and
unprofessional behavior. The reporter should
check the facts, examine her own biases and
rely less on her emotions before passing
judgment on another business.
Reading thi s review and actually
visiting Proffitt's Cafe is like the difference
. between seeing a movie and reading the
novel. When you see the movie, all you sec
is what the sc reen writer's, direc tor' s,
producer' s,

I would like to take the opportunity to
publicly apologize to the Camarilla group

Satan, frORl page 3
believe his innocence.
Evergreen alumnus Chris Bader, who
wrote a series on the case for the Cooper
Point Journal in 1991 , also believes in
Ingram's general innocence. "The stories
that were going around about him just
weren't true," he remarked in a recent phone
interview.
Bader now lives in Bowling Green,
Ohio. His series was cited in Remembering
Satan as "the only critical account [of the
casel in Olympia."
"The Olympian bought the whole idea
[of the satanic cult]," said Bader in response
to what he feels was extremely poor
coverage, "They were writing horrendous
stuff about him [[ngram)."
The Ingram case is a landmark as the
first case using repressed memories to garner
a conviction. Articles have been written
about it in publications as varied as The New
Yorker and Discover magazine.
Remembering Satan is an excellent
depiction of the events that occurred that
right here in Olympia. It is well written and
thoroughly researched. Bader and others are
glad that the book has been published. in
hopes that the case will "finally receive some
heat," on a subject that has been long ignored
by traditional Olympia media.

Non-Nir,ana fan sees hope 'for the Cobain generation
by Adam Lawrence
The first thing I did when I heard the
news about Kurt Cobain was to call my friend
Justin. Justin is the biggest Nirvana fan I
know. He had already heard the news and
was relatively ambivalent about it. He said
something like, "Yeah, I liked the way he
wrote songs, but hey, l ife goes on," I
remem ber being impressed by Justin's
avoidance of the hero worship syndrome.
Here was a guy who ranked Nirvana as one'
of his favorite bands, but showed no signs
of feeling a cosmic connection with the man
who blew his own face off.
I didn't even like Nirvana and I was a
little blown away by the suicide. I knew who
KurtCobain was, I knew where he grew up,
I knew about his band. For some reason, this
made me feel as though I knew him
personally, something I wo'uld find offensive
if I was in hi s position.
Here I was, a non-Nirvana fan and I was
more affected by Cobain's death than a real
fan. I.was literally asking myself "Why?
Why?' as though there was something I
could have done. As I think about it now, I
wonder what made me more susceptible to
the same kind of idol worship that is
stereotypically high-school behavior.
Maybe it was because I could have
driven my car to where a famous man took
his life with a shotgun. I was at home on
Friday, cleaning the kitchen. I was stunned
and I didn't know why. The proximity of the
shooting may have had some effect on me,
the prospect of big news happening in or near
my town has always caught my interest.
Maybe he realIy did speak for me and
my generation. After alI, I've felt like putting
a .12 gauge in my mouth before. Maybe he
realIy meant something, something I can't
explain. Maybe he was a prophet, trying
desperately to express his angst in a way that
would end his pain.
Or maybe he was a fucked-up basehead who couldn't handle the responsibility
of fame, a family and the adoration of
millions. He said he couldn't handle fame,
that it wasn't fun anymore. Now he's assured
his place in the annals of idols gone-to-soon,
that "stupid club" his mother referred to.
This was a man who advised his fans
that "it's better to burn outthan to fade away,"
a not-so-subt.l.e suggestion to do what he did
when the water gets rough.
Here was a man who never asked for
the spotlight, a manufactured "spokesman for
a generation," a generation fulI of apathetic
teenagers and adults who feel like they're
entitled to the world and feel like they're the
only ones who ever had a rough childhood.
"Kurt understands me, Kurt will speak for
me," they shout, their voices cracking with
angst. Now they sit outside in their misery,
in the rain, their Docs getting wet, the dye
running out of their hair, clutching candles,
not caring if they get wax on their black
clothes, desperately clamoring to get their
voice back. WelI, that voice shot himself,
probably because he felt like there was no
one to speak for him .
So now the throngs weep for Kurt, a
few kill themselves to join him , but they'll
never sell any more posters after they're
dead. Some vow to name their children Kurt,
others carve his name in their flesh. Others
feel sad, some shrug their shoulders, some
martyrize him, immortalize him . But they're
reactions are alI basically the same, and they
all have the same effect. .
The theater fills with an audience,
anxious for the show they know so well. The
actor is lying dead backstage though, and he's
in no shape to go on. Hearing the news, the
audience weeps for the actor, but each one
holding a ticket may as well have pulIed the
trigger. What shall they do? They need to be
entertained, to be spoken to and for. They
paid for the show, they want entertainment.
But the actor just lies there.
Kurt Cobain was not John Lennon, he
was not Jim Morrison and he was not Jesus.
He was a man who got famous , wrote songs
and didn't like fame . He took his life and at
the same time,took his life back. He took it
back from the masses who yanked it away
and replaced it with idolatry.
I now know why Cobain ' s death
affected me. Whether I subscribe to it or not.
he had gained idol status. Whenever an idol
kills themselves, it is big news, far reaching
pews, news that affects everyone in a soc iety
based on celebrity reverence. this is why I
admire Justin so much; because he can take
himself out of that mentality, which gives me
hope for the Cobain generation.

To the people who will decide our
academic structure for the coming years:
My name is Todd L. Kelly. I am a
second year student. I have followed the
proposal for a semester system. I feel the
frustration faculty face in balancing the
evaluation duties with curriculum. I
understand the need some students want to
alleviate end of quarter tension. These are
real problems that want to be solved.
However, I am a proponent of our quarter
system for this symple [sic] reason: Our
quarter system is a reflection of our natural
world.
Albeit, we sometimes have only two or
three traditional European seasons here in
Puget Sound; we still have four distinct
periods solarly and astrologically. For
instance, now it is spring quarter.
Salmonberry is blooming. Mushrooms
rising. Whales migrating. Salmon migrating.
Robins nesting. Each of these events has
parallels in our academic pursuits.
For some students, spring quarter is
their emergence into a new world; one in
which they will use the skills they have
gained in unique unprecedented ways. I feel
it is important to keep the quarter system to
be harmonious with the natural world - this
world we depend on for survival.
To move to a semester system now
would be going backwards to a time where
we ignore the natural rhythms of the earth;
dishonoring all our relations and
unknowingly create a life out of balance on
this earth. This is where we are ·at now in our
ev.olution on this planet. Disharmony is
strong because we have been neglectful in
respecting natural law. Now is our chance to
reaffirm our commitment to our ancestors,
our loved ones here and now, and the future
generations to come.
By keeping our quarter system, we will
be making a conscious choice to promote
harmony on this planet.
To choose a semester system, we will
be continuing our dysfunctional relationship
with this earth and it will be difficult to
reconcile this change once it's been made.
Upon deep reflection, I propose the following
possible solutions:
I) Let's not decide our planet's fate in
such a black/White, either/or, this/that mode
of interaction
2) Let's create a forum and course of
action that allows us to be creative in
responding to federal and state demands for
accountability, i.e. evaluations.
3) A possible solution to the evaluation!
curricul urn crunch could be to allow
evaluations to be staggered and students
continuing in a class could choose to have
formal evaluations at the winter quarter for
both fall and winter combined; with the
understanding that each quarter's
performance stands on its own.
4) For those faculty that usually carry
a one quarter load of students and thus
evaluations must be written at once,let's give
'ern some help. Perhaps the aspiring teachers
in .the Masters in Teaching program could
benefit from being an evaluation aid,
resulting in much needed help for besieged
faculty.
5) For students, let's get back in touch
with mother earth and honor this spirit by
learning her natural rhythms academically,
physically and spiritually.
There are many things we could do. The
most important of which is to think of
coIIect i ve spirit and how this helps our
community here at EVER GREEN [sic) . The
semester system is a ghost of the past that's
perhaps not needed at this time. Our quarter
system in its own humble way is our future.
For within its framework is the natural cycle
ofliving here in this earth. In honor of those
who have passed before us and those here
now and in conscious respect of leaving a
healthy, vibrant, harmonious life in balance
for our future generations. Let's make our
choice with these principles in mind.
Thank you and blessings be upon you
in this momentous and tough decision.
Adam Lawrence is a member of the
Evergreen community.
Quarters are more In harmony with nature than semesters

Todd L. Kelly is an Evergreen student.
Semantic dogma induces yawns
Ahhh,
Semantics,
Wonderful
Semantics ...
I've been an avid reader of the CPJ for
most of my six months here at Evergreen.
The section I get the most entertainment (and,
sometimes, insight and inspiration) out of
would definitely have to be the Forum and
Response pages , what with the heated
debates that get shot back and forth between
so many angry, offended people.
While I was growing up, my parents
brought me up on a value system which
includes many of the ideologies which today
constitute "political correctness." However,
one thing my family and I (~nd many of my
friends) like to joke about is the PC obsession
with semantics and the futility of being so
obsessed with words.
Fortunately, the Forum and Response
pages are usually free of the semantical
dogma that so plagues communities like
Evergreen. However, February saw a few
semantically-obsessed articles (Feb. 10 and
17), to which I had to stifle a yawn or two.
First there was Dan Ewing saying how
"overuse oflanguage rapes it of meaning." I
really believe that people like Dan who have
such a reverence for language, who feel that
it should be only used for the "right" causes
are obsessed with using it as a weapon, a tool.
I'm sorry, but I don't hold that same
reverence for language, and I get sick of
people claiming that their definition for a
word is the omy correct one.
Dan, you do not "have to be a poet to
draw attention (0 mere words" as you said in
your article. You merely have to say the
wrong thing to the wrong person (or group
of people).
Then, on the Feb.17, Carson Strege said
the mainstream media, by claiming that
feminism is "dead", are trying to rob
feminists of their power. If this is true (and it
probably is), then that definitely sucks. I
Response
detest the mainstream media as much as you
do, Carson. Still, don't you think that how
you feel about an issue and how you act on
it are more important than giving yourself a
label to rally around and worrying if others
use the same label as you do?
Then, later in that issue, was the piece
by William Wood, who was whining about
how the term "Weenie Roast" was offensive
to his genitalia, and to males in general.
Sigh ... poor William.
Unlike the· other two, this involved
someone taking offense at one particular term
that he felt was maliciously directed at him
and his group. I am rather amazed that this
type of semantical sensitivity does not appear
more often on the Response page!
I definitely agree that cenain words are
downright offensive, and to be avoided.
Terms like "spic," "nigger," and "femi-nazi"
(among others) are disgusting, and I despise
those who use them as much as you do. I
even try to avoid certain (more mainstream)
terms , like "Oriental" and "Hispanic" to
avoid being labeled a racist.
Still, though, how many cats and dogs
and hamsters out there are actually obsessed
with being called "non-human-animalcompanions?" How many short people are
obsessed with being called "vertically
challenged?" Don't we need to draw the line
somewhere?
My heart goes out to Virginia Lore, an
Evergreen student who was quoted in the
Nov. 18 CPJ as saying, "I am concerned
about freedom of thought being trampled by
the semantic police." Virginia, maybe you
meant freedom of speech being trampled, but
I definitely share your distaste for those of a
semantically- obsessed nature.

The genuinely unfortunate aspect of the
performance is that Shaw's Don Juan in Hell,
which is the third act of his larger work Man
and Superman, has all the ingredients of a
thoroughly entertaining and thoughtprovoking drama.
Don Juan originated in the work of a
16th century Spanish monk who presents him
as the "enemy of God" in El Burlador de
Sevilla. He is cast as a social libertine who
attempts to seduce a young lady and kills he~
father in a duel of honor, The slain father
returns in the form of his own statue and
drags Don Juan into hell.
Don Juan was later adopted by Moliere,
Byron and Mozart. Shaw claims to have been
most influenced by Mozart's interpretation
of Don Juan in his opera Don Giovanni,
where the character is not presented as a
357-4755
WESTSIDE CENTER
DIVISION. HARRISON
Page 8 Cooper Point Journal April 21, 1994
moral reprobate, but rather as an antagonist
to the prudish social mores of his time.
Shaw picks up, where Mozart left off.
He conceives of a deliciously ironic scenario
in which Don Juan, now in hell, is joined by
the very man he murdered, his daughter and
Satan. The four engage in entertaining
discussions on the great themes of life; love,
beauty, heroism and death.
Harris Yulin and Harold Gould were
rather good as Don Juan and Satan,
respectively. Through the latter half of the
play they amusingly battled over whether
man was driven by a "life-force" or animated
by death and destmction,
Don Juan argues the position that a Iifeforce has been continually driving man
toward ever higher level s of selfconsciousness and self-understanding which
will lead to more perfect human freedom,
Satan ably assaults Don Juan' s
position. He acutely observes that man is
more likely driven by an appetite for power
than by desire for self-actualization: "Man
measures his strength by his destructiveness.
What is his religion? An excuse for hating
me. What is his law? An excuse for hanging
you. What is his morality? Gentility I an
excuse for consuming without producing."
Regrettably, compelling exchanges
such as these were constantly flubbed by the
disjointed and bumbling interjections of
Asner as the statue of the murdered father.
Asner's only serious soliloquies were, " nasty,
bmtish and short,"
The uneven nature of the performance
left me wondering if it was worth the price
of the ticket. Asner's presence left me sure
of one thing: It exposed the farcical nature
of promoting a serious work of art with a
third-rate Hollywood actor,
Lawrence had pretty good sealS, roo.

Norman Mailer, in reviewing the novel
of a young writer and apparently not wanting
to discourage him, offered a reluctant
defense of his work and declared it was "not
written so badly that one can reject it with
clear conscience."
Well, I'm no Norman Mailer and what
I write is unlikely to accelerate the decline
of the waning acting career of Ed Asner (Lou
Grant of Mary Tyler Moore "), I see no reason
to equivocate in my assessment of his
performance in George Bernard Shaw's Don
iuan in Hell.
To be perfectly candid, the stench from
Asner's stage presence is likely to linger at
the Washington Center for months to come.
