"Evals take me six weeks out of every
year. Ifthar was reduced. I'd have two more
weeks to develop myself [as a faculty
member) ," said Pete Bohmer.
Like Bohmer, many faculty think
writing one fewer set of evaluations per year
would give them more time to plan their
courses. Also, paid planning weeks in the
proposed semester calendars could be used
for faculty retreats lind seminars.
Other fac u I ty say that Evergreen
students need alieasl three evaluations each
year.
"A key point of teaching is the
evaluation process, as tedious it sometimes
is," said Mike Beug.
Rob Knapp suggested that the quarter
system is not the only reason evaluations
seem so time-consuming. He says that
evaluation during a program should be
continual, but is often squeezed in the end,

I'm upset that the Sealfle Times ran a
picture of his dead body, because it was new s.

In this country, Kurt Cobain and others
like him are considered public property. We
like dealing with their problems in stead of
with our own. We are entertained by them.
We make hero ~ out of reluctant heros
because we're sick of people wanting to fill
these positions for us. If our reluctant heros
hate the publicity we give them more by
focusing on that aversion. If they can't
stand the public gaze of the media. we
have the media examine why they don't
like being watched .
We needed the Kurt Cobain show.

movement. We laughed, we cried, we

I thought the first person who told me
about it was joking. mostly becau se the
person standing next to him kept repeating,
" I did it! I killed him!" You see, it' s an
incredibly punk thing to do. But as I made
my way through the CAB that afternoon it
was what just about everyone was talkin g
about. Kurt Cobain had killed himself.
Before it hit the press it was all over
the Net, and after that, it was everywhere.
To confinn the rumors I called an Olympian
so urce who I shall refer to as "Heidi
Liebetrau."
"Heidi" monitored the wire and faxed
a confirmation that Cobain was dead. it was
in black and white and on paper. so I took it
as fact. She told me over the phone that
it was a suicide . On television, I learned
that he ate the gun, that it was a shotgun,
that an electrician found hi s body and
read the suicide note; "only the last two
lines ," that many people were sad and
that Kurt had a gastric problem .
He is our generation's " John
Lennon," a Rolling Stone reporter said ;
leaving Courtney Love with little more
than our generation's Yoko. I guess.
I can't say that I was devastated by
this turn of events. It was sad and all that .
but I do n't think that I have lost what has
been touted as "the voice or a
generation. " Instead. th e world lost a

The fact is that Cobain must have

I sort of laughed it off around most

Yesterday, the faculty voted 49 to 41 to
recommend that Evergreen convert to a
semester system by the fall of 1996.
Staff, students and administrators will
now be asked to review the proposals and
estimate potential costs and other impacts ,
The Board of Trustees will make the final
decision based on community opinion and
financial reports from college departments .
Dean Priscilla Bowerman began
yesterday 's faculty meeting. She said the
academic deans favor converting to a
semester system for three reasons:
-They believe Evergreen would save
money by only having to regi ster and admit
students twice per year,
-Under a semester calendar, two weeks
that are now used for evaluation could
become paid faculty planning weeks.
-The deans believe se mesters offer
students better course choices because it will
be easier for them to get into a program midyear.
Before the vote was t aken at the
meeting, there was a one-hour discussion
period, In calm success ion, faculty members
gave reasons they were for or against
changing Evergreen to a semester system ,
Following is a list of the main points
which emerged during the faculty debate.

Volume 24 Issue 21
Any way you look at it, something
strange was afoot at last we".kend's Geocon
II, a role-playing game convention.
A 14 year-old girl attending th e
convention said four unidentified males, who
she c laimed were dressed as vampires.
abductied her, dragged her to the Library
basement and interrogated her,
The Camarilla Society, a student
vampire fan club and service organization,
adamantly denies any connection to the
alleged abduction,
The girl, whose identity was not
released, comp lained to Public Safety of
"pain in her neck" and that she "had a red
mark under her left ear." She told Public
Safety Officer Tammi Stretch that she and
her friend were at Evergreen visiting her
friend's cousin , allegedly a member of the
Camari lla Society, but they were not
involved in any vampire games . The two
became separated in a Library stairwell.
According to the Public Safety report,
the friend later found her in the Library
basement "surrounded by three to four males
in vampire clothing." He told Safety that the
suspects were using "spooky" speech and
gestures. One of the s uspects reportedly
asked the friend ifhe believed in Satan. Both
the girl and her friend became frightened and
retreated to the CAB, where they were found
by Geocon's volunteer securiiy.
Covahgin VanDyk, security manager
for Geocon, said that she recei ved a message
that "someone was dragging multiple
females into the basement of the Library,"
She organized a search party to look for the
alleged perpetrators but didn't find them. She
then returned to the Geocon hospitality room
The Evergreen State College
Olympia. WA 98505
in CAB 110 where she found the all eged
victim "shaking" and "freaking out."
VanDyk and other volunteers movt:d
the victim to the second floor commons area
of the CAB where , according to VanDyk .
they called Public Safety and tri ed to calm
her down , ,
Public Safety responded by laking a
statement from the girl's friend and
conducting a search for the four suspects. The
suspects were not found.
Camarilla Society co-coordinalor
Jason Soles objected to the idea that society
members accidentally abducted the woman
in the course of a vampire game , "There
wasn't a game at that time," he said.
'Things like this usually don't happen,"
said VanDyk. "No one gets abducted at cons.
That's just silly. Con people are a little wierd
but not stupid."
Both VanDyk and Camarilla co coordinator Anne Kohler contest the
description of the males as dressed "I ampire
clothing."
"Nobody dres!>cs like vampire . . at a
can." said Kohler.
But another Camarilla member said that
the Public Safety des..:ription, "de ~ cribes
about 90 percent of the people I at Geocon I·"
"B lack seems 10 be the color of chpicc
for the Camarilla." said Gaming Guild co coord inator and Geocon organizer Rob
Tay lor. He said that vampire game players
often dress in "punk," or "gothic" motifs or
in basic black thus making specific vampire
recognition difficult.

free vaccinations
EVERGREEN-The TESC Student
Health Center is offering free
tetanus/diphtheria, measles, mumps, and
rubella shots to all interested students
between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m., April 15.
The first measles vaccines became
available in 1967. People born between
1967 and 1972, got these early vaccines;
but later studies showed that these
vaccines did not give life long immunity
against this disease, so many college-aged
people are at risk of catching measles. A
booster vaccine will protect you.

Motel have expired. Most of those people
found themselves back on the streets
Tuesday but around ten found jobs and
four found housing.
The vouchers were arranged by
the Department of Community Trade and
Economic Development.
Mary Walker, nne of the motel's
temporary tenants, was headed back to her
tent Tuesday afternoon with her son Thorn
Morton. Walker considers herself one of
the lucky ones because she has been able
to get ajobatthe Iron Skillet in Tumwater.
"If only we had another month," she said.
Walker's boss found her by
contacting Bread and Roses, a local
hospitality center, and asking around for
workers. Walker credits Bread and Roses
for providing a place where homeless
folks can be located and contacted.
She said that the motel offered
the tenants telephone access so they could
arrange job interviews and a place to
clean upand wash their clothes and make
thems e lv es "presentable" for the
community .

stacked against her. Chances are we'll pass
her by because it won't take us long to find
another target.
In ten years the people who will
remember who Kurt Cobain was (apart from
personal friends, music critics and historians)
will be the people who saw Nirvana play in
some shitty little dive somewhere and got
sweat on and battered by the crowd but still
had a great time.
The people who attended Sunday's
memorial service at Seattle Center or who
saw Nirvana only on the Nevermind tour will
probably be listening to classic rock and
wondering where their kids are, Jeff Holmes,
an early Nirvana road manager, was seen
walking through the crowd at the weekend
service, and was quoted as say ing that "none
of these people were here when it counted ...
This is the sort of adoration that killed Kurt."
Maybe they will remember the candle

Financial Aid consunant targets
weaknesses in service and access
by Naomi Isbisaka
An outside consultant's report on
problems with the Financial Aid office
was completed last week and is already
stimulating action at Financial Aid.
Financial Aid hired Diane
Tsukamaki, of Tsukamald & Associates
of Portland, to help the office better serve
students. Some students who filed their
forms on time last year received their
awards months late, possibly due to
Financial Aid staff overload and adjusting
to a relatively new computer system.
Students complained this winter
they were unable to get through Financial
Aid's phone system and felt that
couselors were "indifferent."
Tsukamaki's report has been
described as "fair" and "thorough" by
Dean of Enrollment Services, Arna1do
Rodriguez and as "a good job" by
Director bf Financial Aid Georgette
Chun.
Tsukamaki suggested 25 major
changes to Financial Aid. She reported
that a central prOblem, from which many
other problems stem, is that, "the
Financial Aid office ... seems to lack a
clear understanding of its basic mission
- is it a service or is it a production
arcaT'
According to Chun and
Rodriguez, the major recommendations
made in the report are going to be
carefully examined and considered.
However, some of the recommendations
have already been adopted, such as the
suggestion to hire additional staff and
upgrade the comp~ters.
The report emphasized that. "The
staff in the Financial Aid office are
extraordinarily hard workers," who are,
"dedicated to their jobs and care very
deeply about protecting the integrity of
the institution."
It also called for administration
officers to, "establish clear and realistic
expectations for the future," and in
particular, to focus on the accessibility of
Financial Aid to the students it serves.
The report recommended that the
?fficeoverhaul the phone system,
mcrease counselor availability and the
require all staff to answer calls and be
accessible to students.
The report cited student access
concerns as by far, "the most significant
concern voiced repeatedly across the
campus," and said Financial Aid should
give more personal serVice to students.
The balance between personally
servicing students and getting the
paperwork done is difficult, says Chun.
"There is a conflict between greater
accessibility versus getting our work
date."
Tsukamald said Financial Aid could
improve service by increasing automation
~d streamlining review procedures to
mcrease the speed of processing.
Rodriguez and Chun agree that
automation will be implemented soon.
According to Rodriguez, the
automation of loan processing will be in
place by fall.
For some students, this will mean
faster access to checks and less time
running around.
"[Financial Aid] is as frustrated as
the students are," Vice President of
Student Affairs Art Costantino
commented.
"There are times when Financial
Aid becomes a scapegoat for what it ean't
control. [Financial Aid] can't be blamed
for slow response time by the federal
government....Try not to see Financial
Aid as a scapegoat for all aspects of
financial aid," Costantino said.
Rodriguez is also concerned with
student's negative views of Financial Aid.
"The perception is that the staff [of
Financial Aid] is standing in the way of
processing. They are responsible for
making sure [federal] qualifications are
met."
Rodriguez and Chun stressed that
concerns and complaints about the
amount of money students are awarded
should be brought up to congresspeople,
not necessarily to the Financial Aid
office.
"I don't think students and their
parents have raised enough concern [to
congresspeople]. If [a congressperson]
gets between five to 10 calls, they must
pay attention," Rodriguez explained.

Coming full circle: A meeting with Assata Shakur in Cuba
On Saturday March 12, 1994, a
Cubana Air flight from Tampico,
Mexico landed in Havana
International with 200+ U.S .
citizens breaking the travel ban and
protesting the 32 year old U.S.
embargo of Cuba.
by Rebecca Carter
In March I travelled to Cuba with the
US-Cuba Friendshipment to challenge the
immoral and illegal trade and travel blockade
against Cuba. The trip was educationa l and
empowering. I was inspired by th e
revolutionary and resi sting spirit of the
C uban people, and encouraged by the
connections made through direct po litical
action and education.
My travels led to a conversation with
Ass3ta Shakur. born. raised, and imprisoned
in the US who is no w living in political exile
ill Cuba. Assata. a former member of the
Black Panther Party and Black Liberation
Army. escaped from pri son in the US.
This meeting was going to be siglliticallf
We were StSTERS, after all. and the power of
Black revolutionary struggle could be linked
to the power of the Cuban revolution , and
then to the power of Sisters in st ruggle. If
thi s happened I knew I would come full circle
and could hopefully bring the spirit of this
encounter back to the US.
As women of color we wanted to have an
intimate rap session where we could talk
honestl y and upenly about the truth.
Although our meeting was unpublicized.
word got around and our sess ion quickly
turned into a typical uni versity style lecture
where the women of color sat uncomfortable.
and the white men in the audience spoke on
and on about everything but our truth.
Feeling frustrated as our purpose was
threatened, we threw out direct and forceful
questions to get to the heart of the subject.
Assata reacted to us with some suspicion and
answered uur questions with vague and
general statements . She asked us what
exactly we wallted . l wonder if she realized
how desperate we were. Maybe she honestly
did not know how important she is to us as a
Black revolutionary woman. Maybe she has
no idea how we pour over her autobiography
- how she teaches us to love ourselves
through her own struggle for self - how we
Sisters stood in awe and fear upon meeting
her how all we want is some
encouragement that the struggle for truth ,
justice, and frecdom includes us no matter
how young we are and how much we need
to learn.
The meeting contin ued to deteriorate. We
competed with each other to ask the
questions specific to each of us. We left no
room for anyone else to speak or respond.
We wanted too much and needed Assata to
fi II a gap that spans all of our histories . We
were looking for one profound statement that
would change everything. There was no
possible way that she cou ld instantly heal
each of us. Our time eventually ran out and
we went our separate ways dissatisfied and
disheartened.
It wasn't until I returned to the US and
reviewed some of my notes that I began to
see and understand connect ion s. Assata
talked abo ut life in the US and the realities
of stress that exist here. She said she had to
leave because she needed space for spiritual
growth and freedom and liberation from
political and physical cages. She wisely told
us that more people have died from
internalizing oppression than from actively
fighting against it. I read through these notes
and her autobiography and slowly left behind
the group dynamics and personal evaluation
to rcalize that there is a greater lesson to be
learned.
I have dealt with the stress of living in
the US. I speak specifically of the stress
inherently found in the system: seeking
employment, financing education. securing
housing, health care, and food. This way of
life, in addition to many other frightening
realities that some of us experience, are
dangerous and oppressive. l needed to get
out of this country. I have just begun to learn
about alternatives to this system and it was
important to support the Cuban example in
most harmful things we can do is remain in
isolation .. .
Assata can never return to the US. When
asked what would happen to her if she did,
she replied that she would probably be killed.
Yet even though she resides in Cuba, her
influence and presence is felt here and
worldwide. She, and the Cuban people, need
not be isolated from us. We need to continue
to build bridges between us- people to
people- and through community stand

areas such as public health, education, and
agricult ure.
I am learnin g· that there is mobility
throu gh direct political action . Taking a
physical stand against US imperialism and
intervention is important. This direct work
and action is key in challenging the fears and
passivity of my own political cage.
Assata spoke to me about internalized
oppression. Up until this time I have dealt.
on my own, with my particular struggle
against oppression. The journey to Cuba
reinforced for me the idea that there can be
power in community and power in collective
work for radical social change. One of the
committed to work towards justice and
freedom for the oppressed. The revolutionary
spirit is alive in Cuba and will continue to
thrive there, and here, and across the globe.
I no longer feel frustrated and
disappointed in the meeting . In spite of
myself I continue to learn from Assata. For,
in her words, "It is our duty to fight for our
freedom. It is our duty to win. We must love
each other and support each other. We 11(/1'1'

Embargo in Cuba forces move toward sustainability
hy Libby Mullins
It was a long road trip for those of us
from the Pacific Northwest to Cuba. via the
Mexican-U.S. border in Texas. The group
was comprised of peoplc from all over North
America and twelve other countries. Each of
us had our own personal interests in Cuba.
but we came together to protest the U.S.
embargo of the island nation .
My particular interest in Cuba rests on
the exte ns ive re search and practi ce of
~ustainable agriculture there . Because of th e
lack of infor'mation on Cuba a\'ailab le in the
U.S .. I had a vague idea of what I was to
find on the Cuban farms. My ignorance did
not last long. as the C uban s were more than
willing to share everything about the " new
agric ulture" uf their cuunli:y.
From the city of Havana. I travell ed to

As we walked over to the first bu ilding,
the head or the co-operati ve told us proudly
that before the re ulution. the plot of land
had belonged to an American .
A plantation -esque vision of the past
vanished from my mind as we stepped into a
small shoe shop. An older man, smelli ng of
cigar smoke, raised himself from his seat and
picked up a shoe he had been working on.
He explained that he had recently retired
from the fields, but now worked on repairing
people in the cities. The work at their regular
jobs is covered by co-workers. No one is
forced to come on these brigades, yet it seems
important to many Cubans that they be
involved in food production.
Returning from the fields , it was time
for lunch. In line, I seized the opportunity to
learn about the incentives the government

provides to encourage people to farm . These
incentives include additional supplies anu
food. I was told that a ll farm workers must
complete at least 12th grade.
I was taken by a feeling of deep respect
for these people as we walked down the path
to our bus. Cubans are a proud, happy people
who honestly want to share with LIS . They
are a strong people who want their country
to prosper under its own terms - not the
terms of the U.S. and the multinationals. This
organic farming/sustainability movement
that is happening on the island now is th~
reaction to the shortages the Cubans face.
Because of the embargo, Cuba, once
one of the largest chemical users, can no
longer import pesticides and herbicides they
once did . Because of the embargo, Cuba can
no longer import the oil necess ary to rLln
tractors and combines. Due tu the embargo,
the thriftines s and ingenuity of the Cubans
is evident with the use of oxen and horses to
assist in farm work.
What is happenin g in Cuba right now
is of vita l importance to the wurld. Tho~e uf
us concerned with the future of this planet
should be concerned with the ruture of Cuba.

Faculty vote for semesters, from cover
should be adopted to Shake things up, if for
no other reason. They believe semesters will
renew Evergreen and be a catalyst for cha'nge
throughout the college.
Andrew Buchman says changing to
semesters is "a non-prescriptive way of restructuring Evergreen."
"This is part of debate of remaking
Evergreen ... We have traces and tracks in the
curriculum, and those tracks have remained
much the same for the last 20 years, .. said
Buchman.
"I'm attracted to the semester proposal
. because it seems a very gen tl e way of
shaking." different arrangements, all over the
college," said Rob Knapp.
"We often preach change to others but
forget to practice it ourselves ," said Zahid
Shariff, who hopes se mesters will invigorate
Evergreen's stale system.
But some faculty think this argument
is too simplistic.
"We're just changing the s tructure."
Marilyn Frasca said, " In stea d doin g
something three times, we'll do it twice, God
save us all."
"I think we're trying to treat the
calendar issue as a silver bullet. and it isn't,"
said Jeanne Hahn, "We're loading in the last
hour too many pedagogical and curricular
issues on the cale ndar, and the ca lendar is
not going to solve these issues ."
-Semester studies seen as more indepth
Some people are attracted to a IS-week
semester because they believe it allows more
in-depth stud y. They worry that students drop
out of full-year programs before their
completion , and it would be easier to plan
ahe:.;d for "transfer points" at the semester
break.
"When [students) are ready to do some
in-depth work, they decide not to do it and
try something else." said Evelia Romano de
Thuesen.
" I want to be able to say that a student
studied a coherent unit of material with me
when I write an eva luation," said one faculty
member.
The deans and other faculty say they

depth of material taught in semesters versus
quarters.
"I tlnd it utterly unpersuasi ve to hear
people say they don't have time to [teach]
things. That's only persuasive in a onequarter course," said Chuck Nisbet, who has
taught at Evergreen since its first year.
"Remember back when you. were a
student under the semester system," Nisbet
asked the faculty. "Everyone of us can
remember being in this bloody course ... By
week three you were dying, but there were
IS weeks left. Let me remind you what this
will be like for the student at Evergreen, with
only one course... If we're worried about
retention, we're going to really worry with
semesters. Why are so many of us with grey
hair still here? The quarter system."
"The semester is too short. too. Two
quarters is minimum. a year is probably
best," said Leo Daugherty.

TESC STUDENT CONDUCT CODE
Reader asks: Is i.t pos.sible for women to ejaculate?
Grievance and Appeals Process
I ha ve seen movies in which the
female actresses have been able to achieve

This question seems to be
describin g what is known as female
ejac ulation. Female ejaculation, like the
G rafenberg spot (or G-spot), can be a
vague and confusing topic. They both

The Gr:.lfcnberg spot is believed to

vagina. between the pubic bone and the
ce rvix. The pubic bone is where the
pelvi c bones meet in the front; it can be

the lower part of the uterus. located at the
end o r the vagina. It feels like the tip of a
nose with a dimple in it.
Stimulation of the Grafenberg spot

:lrllusaL
The urethra, which leads to the
hladder, is located just forward of the
rorward wall of the vagina and is
surrounded by the urethral sponge. The
urethral sponge is a spongy tissue that \1('co mes erect, or fills with blood, in
response to stimulation.
Two glands, called the paraurethral
glands, arc located in the urethral sponge,
(lOC on each side of the urethra. It is
heiievcd that orgasmic contracti()Os ot' the
urethral sponge may cause a fluid to be
,
expelled or ejaculated from the
paraurethral glands and out the urethra.
This is called female ejaculation.
Although some women may leak a
small amount of urine during orgasm, a
limited number of studies have shown
that the fluid that is expelled from the
ureth·ral sponge is chemically different
from urine.
Both female ejaculation and the
Grafenbcrg spot have been reported by a
number of women. Women who are
c uriou s about experie ncing female
.;jaculation o r finding a Grafenbcrg spot
for themselves may wish to feel for a
Grafcnberg spot, possibly using it as a
way of stimulating the urethral sponge.
It is important to remember,
however , that many women have not
hcard of female ejaculation or the
Grafenberg spot Also, many women
have flol found a Grafenberg spot nor
experienced female ejaculation despite
crforts to do so. This is absolutely okay.
There is no conclusive evidence
th(lt every woman can find a Grafenberg
spot or experience female ejaculation.
It is important to remember that
sexual experienee need not be perceiVed as
a competition or as a source of feelings
of inadequacy. Neither stimulation of a
Grafenberg spot nor female ejaculation'
are necessary for orgasm or a fulfilling
sexual experience.

other policies.
B. Levels of Resolution
1. VOLUNTARY MEDIATION: Community members who
come into conflict with one another should make a
determined effort to resolve problems peacefully and
constructively between themselves . To facilitate this
objective, the college encourages voluntary mediation
through mediators (see definition). The mediators will assist
the two parties to reach resolution. If successful, the parties
will sign an agreement stating that resolution has been
reached. If unsuccessful, both parties may agree to binding
arbitration (see definitions) or .either party may file a
grievance with the Campus Grievance Officer (see
definitions). The accuser may bypass mediation/arbitration
and file a complaint directly with the Campus Grievance
Officer.
2. CAMPUS GRIEVANCE OFFICER REVIEW: The basic role
of the Campus Grievance Officer is to seek justice. not
convictions. The Campus Grievance Officer i~ responsible
for determining if violations of the Student Conduct Code
have occurred, for investigating and proposing corrective
action on behalf of the college if warranted, and for keeping
all records specified in these grievance procedures.
Exceptions: a. If the student is charged with a violation
potentially punishable by summary suspension or
termination (see definitions). the Vice President for Student
Affairs or her/his designee shall institute formal hearing
procedures unless otherwise waived by the student
b. In cases involving violations of the housing
contract, the director of housing or designee shall act as
the Campus Grievance Officer.
PROCESS:
Reaching a Settlement Agreement: If the Campus
Grievance Officer decides to pursue a case in the name of
the college, the student may accept or deny responsibility
for the violation . If the student accepts responsibility, she
or he may propose a sanction in writing to resolve the case.
The Campus Grievance Officer may also propose a
sanction. If agreement on responsibility and sanction are
reached, the settlement agreement (see below) shall be made
in writing and signed by the student and the Campus
Grievance Officer. The settlement agreement may be
withdrawn in writing within one calendar day (see
definitions). If the settlement agreement is not withdrawn
within one calendar day, the student waives her or his right
to a formal hearing.
Settlement Agreement: An agreement on responsibility
and sanctions, if appropriate, shall be written and contain:
A description of the violation for which responsibility is
accepted;
The agreed sanction if any:
Signatures of the student and the Campus Grievance
Officer.
Temporary No-Contact Order: The Campus
Grievance Officer may impose a temporary order to restrict
contact between parties or access to facilities for the
duration of the Student Conduct Code Grievance and
Appeals process.
Failure to Respond to the Campus Grievance
Officer's Request for a Meeting: Failure to respond to a
request for a meeting will result in an adjudicator hold (see
definitions) on a student's registration file and could result
in more serious sanctions.
Decision by Campus Grievance Officer of No Cause
Finding: If the Campus Grievance Officer determines.
based on the evidence collected, that the accused has not
violated the Student Conduct Code, the accuser may request
in writing within 20 calendar days that the Vice President
for Student Affairs review the process and evidence
collected by the Campus Grievance Officer. No further
. review will be allowed if the Vice President for Student
Affairs agrees that the process followed by the Campus
Grievance Officer was appropriate and that the evidence
did not substantiate the charges.
Failure ·to Reach a Settlement Agreement: If the
Campus Grievance Officer is satisfied that sufficient
evidence exists to substantiate a violation and if a settlement
has not been reached, he/she shall send to the student a
notice of the formal charges, recommended corrective
action, and the right to a hearing. If a student is not charged
with a violation potentially punishable by summary
suspension (see corrective action, item 6). he/she must
petition the Vice Ptesident for Student Affairs for a formal
hearing within twenty calendar days after receipt of the
Campus Grievance Officer's charges. If the student fails
to petition the Vice President for Student Affairs for a formal
hearing, the recommended disciplinary action shall go into
effect (unless summary suspension has already occurred).
NOTE:Except in cases of summary suspension, the
student's status at the college shall not be altered until
the final opportunity for appeal has passed.
3. FORMAL HEARING
GENER.AL: If the parties involved in the case fail to
reach an agreement, the Campus Grievance Officer will
present his/her investigation and findings to the Trier of
Fact (see definitions). Students have a right to a fair and
impartial hearing on any charge of prohibited conduct and
the right to confer with a representative present during the
hearing. Pursuant to state l'aw, the college president
authoriz:es the Vice 'President for Student Affairs to
determine the Trier of Fact Unless the Vice President for
Student Affairs determines mherwise, the Trier of Fact
conducting a formal hearing shall be a Hearing Board (see
definitions). Any such hearing shall be conducted pursuant
to state law, RCW 28B.19.11O - 288.19.150, as amended
see Code, page 8

or superseded. Hearings will be closed to the public and

b. Process in Detail
Notice of the hearing. including a statement of the
particular rules involved and matters asserted, shall be
provided at least ten calendar days before any hearing, as
called for by RCW 28B.19 . 120( I ), as amended or
superseded. The appealing student and Campus Grievance
Officer shall inform each other of witnesses and, if
applicable, representatives (through Office of the Vice
President for Student Affairs) at least 3 calendar days before
the hearing. Both parties may submit brief written position
statements to the designated Trier of Fact. Both parties have
the right to:
• Question wilnesses and have a representative
advise them throughout the process. The parties shall inform
each other of their witnesses (with a maximum of one
character witness) and representatives at least three calendar
days before the hearing. Representatives may not appear
in lieu of the student charged.
• Have subpoena(s) issued by the Vice President
for Student Affairs andlor Trier of Fact, subject to a
convincing showing of the general relevance and reasonable
scope of the evidence sought.
• Peremptorily ~hallenge a member of the Hearing
Board.
• Challenge any Hearing Board member based
011 cause, such as personal bias. The unchallenged Hearing
Board members shall hear the challenge for cause and make
a finding . If cause is found....1he Vice. President for Student
Affairs shall fill the vacancy forthwith . If the Hearing Board
has an advisor, helshe may also challenge a Hearing Board
committee member. Except for peremptory challenges,
Hearing Board members may be disqualified upon majority
vote of the remaining board members.
The failure of the appealing party to appear will
result in a default judgement (see definitions) or the Trier
of Fact may decide to hear the witnesses and take action.
In cases of default judgment, the student has a minimum of
se ven calendar days in which to file a written motion
requesting that the order be set aside and stating the grounds
for this request. The Trier of Fact must respond to this
request in writing within seven calendar days. The student
or Campus Grievance Officer may appeal the Trier of Fact's
response to the reviewing officer as set forth in WAC 174120-080, (6) and (7). Failure to provide a list of witnesses
and/or tne name(s) of their representatives at least three
calendar days before the hearing will most likely result in
disqualification of those witnesses and/or representatives.
The Trier(s) of Fact should not discuss the case
outside of the hearing, and shall base their decision upon
Page 8 Cooper Point Journal April 14, 1994
the evidence presented at the hearing.
The burden of proof shall be on the college which
must establish, by a preponderance of the evidence (see
definitions), that the student is responsible for a violation
of the social contract and/or the student conduct code.
Formal judicial rules of evidence shall not be
applicable, nor shall harmless procedural errors necessarily
invalidate a decision or proceeding, unless significant
prejudice to the rights of the student or the college would
result. The Trier of Fact shall recognize rules of
confidentiality and privilege, but shall otherwise admit all
matters into evidence which reasonable persons would
accept as having probative value in the conduct of th~ir
affairs. Undue repetitious or irrelevant evidence may be
excluded. Illegally obtained evidence cannot be used.
The Trier of Fact shall reach a final decision within
30 calendar days of receipt of the petition or within 15
calendar days of the close of the hearing, whichever is
greater. Decisions of the Trier of Fact shall be by majority
vote of the members present and voting. The Trier of Fact's
written findings and conclusions shall be delivered to the
accused student by hand or certified mail to hislher last
known address.
c. Outline of What a_Hearing Might Look Like:
(I) Opening remarks by Trier of Fact/Chair of
Hearing Board
(2) Opportunity for parties to Challenge Trier("s) of
Fact
(3) Opening Statement by Campus Grievance
Officer
(4) Opening Statement by student appealing
Campus Grievance Officer's decision
(5) Presentation of Campus Grievance Officer's
findings (includes questioning of witnesses by all parties)
(6) Presentation of student appealing Campus
Grievance Officer's decision's case
(includes
questioning witnesses by all parties)
(7) Closing statement by Campus Grievance Officer
(8) Closing statement by student appealing Campus
Grievance Officer's decision
(9) Close hearing
4. Procedural Appeal Process
Wilhin ten calendar days of receipt of the Trier of
Fact's findings and conclusions, either the Campus
Grievance Officer or the student may submit to the
President (L3 \09, ext. 6100) a written exception. The
President will appoint a Reviewing Officer who will
conduct a procedural review. The Reviewing Officer will
review the written and audio taped record. Within 15
calendar days of the filing of the exception, the Reviewing
Officer must render a final written order. No further agency
appeal is required or provided.
NOTE: If the accuser is a victim of conduct which
is considered violent, she/he is entitled, according to the
Federal Education Rights to Privacy Act, to receive the
results of the process, upon request, after the final
opportunity for appeal has passed.
C. Specific Examples of Correction Action:
The primary purpose for imposing corrective measures
is to educate, deter and protect. Notification of corrective
action shall be in writing, and shall indicate the terms of
any suspension or termination and any special conditions
which must be met before readmission. Students who have
been sanctioned are expected to fulfill their sanctions as
prescribed. A student who has been sanctioned for violating
the Student Conduct Code will be required to complete the
sanctions prior to the award of the degree by the Board of
Trustees. Factors to be considered in mitigation shall be
the present demeanor and past disciplinary record of the
student, as well as the nature of the offense and the severity
of any damage, injury, or harm resulting from it. Repeated
or aggravated violations of any rule may result in greater
corrective measures, such as expulsion or suspension, as
may be appropriate . A student's off-campus criminal
conduct may also be considered in determining what
discipline is warranted for similar on-campus conduct.
1. EJECTION FROM THE PREMISES: Students on college
property who willfully refuse to obey an order of the

'Boobus Americanus' ignores a wealth of information
by Lawrence Paulsen
While studying in Germany two years
ago, I was somewhat disappointed in (but
certainly not baffled by) the obvious
reluctance with which many Europeans
engaged me in serious political discussions.
I was painfully aware of the European
perception of American intellectual
development. That view is best represented
by RL. Mencken's anthropological
categorization of the bourgeois American as
"Boobus Americanus."
Unfortunately, a recent survey cited in
the March 28, 1994 Time magazine
reinforces the validity of the widely held
European view that their cousins across the
Atlantic are, to be polite, under-informed.
The poll cited by Time asked four basic
questions in the · area of world affairs of
participants in eight countries: Britain,
Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Mexico,
Spain and the United States. As you may
have inferred from the tone of this essay,
Americans fared rather poorly. Indeed, we
outscored only Spain and Mexico, two
countries with relatively limited experience
with either participatory democracy or a free
press.
For the sake of brevity (and contrast),
it's instructive to compare the results of
Americans in the survey with those of the
Germans, who scored the highest:
Question I) What ethnic group has
conquered much of Bosnia and surrounded
the city of Sarajevo? Answer: the Serbs.
Percent of Germans responding correCtly: 77;
Americans: 28.
Question 2) With which group have the
Israelis recently reached a peace accord?
Answer: the Pales-tinians. Percent of
Germans correct: 79; Americans: 40.
Question 3) [A
big, slow soft-ball] Who
is the President of
Russia? Answer: Boris
Yeltsin . Percent of
Germans correct: 94;
Americans: 50.
Question 4) Who
is Boutros BoutrosGali?
Answer: Secretary
General of the United
Nations. Percent of
Germans correct: 58; Americans: 13.
The unfortunate results of that survey
were no mere aberration. Only a few years
ago (which constitute a millennia in the
disheveled minds of MTV addicts), a
nationwide exam given to college seniors
revealed that one in three was unable to
distinguish Reconstruction from the Marshall
Plan and one in four thought that "from each
according to his abilities, to each according
to his needs" - the central theme of
Marxism - was from the U.S. Constitution.
The point of this essay is not merely to
jestfully deride the failure of Americans to
stay informed. (Although that can be fun
sport.) The underlying issue is much too
serious for playful sarcasm. The issue to
which I refer is the desire most of us share (I
hope) to see meaningful, part-icipatory
democracy at work in the United States.
This hope will never bear fruit so long
as political apathy remains the dominant
attitude of the majority
of Americans. An
uninformed people are
a people who are easily
manipulated, prone to
unwarranted
and
excessive patriotism
(which in its more
virulent
forms
becomes xenophobia, a
primary ill of modem
man), and unconscious
of the forces, power
structures and personalities which largely
shape their futures. The ruling class of this
country - not just the politically elected
I~aders, but the manifold corporate interests
as well- rightly assume that the American
public is so under-informed as to the
particulars of public policy that virtually any
proposal, if carefully packaged, can be
imposed upon "the masses."
On the other side of the Atlantic,
western Europe is a primary example of how
informed politics have established very
progressive social environments. The
average European (excluding, of course,
those of the former East Bloc) enjoys four to
six weeks of paid vacation per year, a 36 to

38 hour work week (with recent indications
that this could be further reduced), uni versal
access to single-payer health care, widely
available and highly efficient public
transportation, and free university education.
It would be highly disingenuous to
suggest that Europe is something akin to
Utopia. Nevertheless, the sophistication of
its political atmosphere and the candor with
which they approach social problems should
be an embarrassment to this country, whose
defenders continue to lamely fall back on its
history as "the world's oldest constitutional
democracy."
Meaningful democracy presupposes
something more than just a piece of paper
that protects basic liberties and guarantees
the right to vote. It presupposes that the
citizenry will utilize the opportunity that
those rights afford. One of those rights (in
fact, the first guaranteed in the Bill of Rights,
which provides free speech and a free press)
gives us access to a wealth of information
about the world around us. If the survey cited
in this essay is a reliable indicator, it would
appear that most Americans are ignoring
much of this important information.
Unfortunately, we all suffer from the bad
public policy that results from the continued
failure of most of us to transcend the image
of "Boobus Americanus."

Upcoming speakers to examine Zionism and Anti-Zionism
by James Packman
This is an announcement of the
presentation on Zionism that was formerly
entitled "The Roots of Zionism and AntiZionism."
The Jewish Cultural Center is
sponsoring this talk, in which two speakers
will explain Zionism from two divergent
Jewish perspectives.
As originally
advertised, the presentation had one speaker.
Now, another has been added to provide a ·
more rounded perspective on Jewish
understandings of Zionism.
Zionism is a controversial issue which
has no simple explanation or definition.
There are many differing views, both within
and outside of Judaism on what Zionism is,
how it is manifested, and how it affects many
lives today: world Jewry, Israelis, and
Palestinians to name a few. In short, Zionism
is a Jewish ideology about the return of Jews
to Israel, which is perceived by many to be
the Jewish homeland.
The two speakers come from divergent
viewpoints, and their explanations of
Zionism will reflect this divergence. Robert
Kaufman will speak from a more
conservative viewpoint and Rainer Waldman
Adkins will speak from a more liberal
viewpoint. In this case, conservative and
liberal refer to spectrum of viewpoints on
issues relating to Israel. Both speakers are
from Seattle and are involved mUltiple, yet
different community organizations, both
Jewish and non-Jewish. The views by these
or any speakers or performers are neither
endorsed nor rejected by the Jewish Cultural
Center. The Jewish Cultural Center seeks to
educate by bringing a variety of.perspectives
on religion, art, and politics from the Jewish
world.
The Jewish Cultural Center has three
intentions by sponsoring this talk: 1) to make
known the passing of Israe l Independence
Day (this year, April 14), 2) to present two
divergent Jewish perspectives of Zionism,
thus showing a broad range of Jewish
understanding of Zionism, and 3) educate
Help clean-up hunger in Olympia
through community service jobs
by Liz Hoar
This Saturday, students and community
members around the country will be turning
out for the Tenth Annual Hunger Cleanup.
The Cleanup is a work-a-thon, much
like a walk-a-thon, where participants are
sponsored by their friends, family and coworkers to volunteer for three to four hours
completing work projects at local agencies.
The Cleanup is a benefit for Bread and Roses
and the Sustainable Community Homeless
Empowerment Movement (SCHEMe), as
well as the National Student Campaign
Against Hunger and Homelessness and the
International Development Exchange.
The Cleanup is your chance to get out
into the community and accomplisn a
common goal with a large group people, from
strangers to close friends. While you work
to improve the community in Olympia,
thousands of others - in Seattle, Portland '
and Eugene, CalifQrnia and across the
country - will be doing the same. Together,
we'll complete hundreds of work projects,
progressively improving our community and
simultaneously raising the consciousness of
the community and ourselves.
To be the hundredth monkey, all you
need to do is sign up. The best thing would
be to call Leslie Keller at x6058 and leave a
message with your name and phone number.
Then, show up at The Comer this Saturday
at 10 a.m. to check-in. We'U have snacks and
a few speakers (housed and homeless), then
head out to town. Or, if you're reading this
Friday night, you can just show up!
The work projects are diverse. We'll be
building a worm box and composting at the
Olympia Childcare Center. We're cleaning
lockers at Bread and Roses, landscaping for
Homes First!, scraping and painting the
YWCA Friendship Hall, and doing yardwork
for Safeplace and several low income
apartments. We'll also be painting rooms in
low income apartment buildings as well as
painting a mural at another.
Our community needs everyone to turn
out to this important event. We need people
with or without skills or cars to share. We
need the homeless, homeless advocates, and
folks that have never spoken to a homeless
person. We need you, whoever you are, to
be the hundredth monkey.
Liz Hoar is the professional assistant
to campus WashPlRG,
about Zionism by arousing discussion.
The talk is for the entire Evergreen
community. It will take place Thursday,
April 14th in CAB 110 at 5 p.m. There will
be a question and answer period following
the speakers, which will be facilitated by Tom
Mercado. director of Student Activities. Tom
is both ethnically and politically neutral on
the issue of Zionism.

'Shutting up' is not
peaceful resistance
In response to ''TESC campus does not
respect the opinions of others":
Usually when I read insipid, moronic
articles in the Cooper Point JouT1Ull, I merely
chuckle or groan about the quality of
education at Evergreen and toss the paper
into the recycling bin.
However, I found the recent article by
Stephen Buckman far too offensive to ignore.
Aside from writing so poorly that he is
incomprehensible at times and demonstrating
a complete lack of respect for other opinions,
Mr. Buckman defines "peaceful resistance"
as " [doing] everyone a favor and [shutting)
up and [going] to class like good little
Geoducks." This sort of "peaceful resistance"
led to the Holocaust in Germany.
I agree with the admonition concerning
making mountains out of molehills, which
was Mr. Buckman's point, I think. And so, I
do not wish to give him too much credit. It is
not likely that he is plaiting Evergreen's
destruction at the hands of Fundamentalist
Christians by propagandizing for non-action;
more likely, he is merely a poor writer and
not very thoughtful.
Furthermore, because I am neither
worried about evangelistic preachers on
Evergreen campus, nor particularly dedicated
to passive resistance, I do not wish to make
this an issue. I do, however, wish to set the
record straight.
Passive resistance, essentially, is
rebellion against an oppressive authority. It
is passive only in so far as it is nonviolent,
and to practice true nonviolence requires
extreme dedication and courage. As with any
rebellion, it requires the persistent hard work
of a great many people, often in the face of
violent opposition, to be effective.
Unlike other methods, passive
and I swear that I don~t have a gun ... Neverillind
Response
Constitution of the State of Washington
Article I § 5 FREEDOM OF SPEECH.

resistance may be practiced on an individual
level because it is defined by afundamental
respect for individual human life and for the
opposition. In fact, its success depends on
that respect. In short, it is, in every way,
opposite to Mr. Buckman's definition, and
more complex.

Once familiar cafe
is now unappetizing
On April 4, her "downtown" was killed.
Her favorite restaurant in Olympia was
transformed into an ugly fraction of its
former self. "Ruby" wants to remain
anonymous as she grimaces at looking at the
new menu at Proffit's Clubside Cafe. "$3.95
for PB&J!"
When we entered the once familiar
hangout we were greeted by an empty
soulless place droned over by Randy Travis'
and other country music stars. Quite a
difference from the blaring Breeders tunes
we were accustomed to. I know there was a
review of this place earlier in the CPJ, but
"Ruby" told me that there needed to be more
action taken against this "farce of a cafe."
The problem with the new Clubside is
three-fold. The food is unappetizing. The
atmosphere is painful. And they decided to
keep the name, "Clubside."
We wanted to order some real food but
our appetites were killed the moment we saw
the little Indian "squaw" painting across the
counter. We settled for the simple grilled
"cheese" sandwiches. The cheese on those
orders wanted us to be as vegan as we told
everyone we were. "Ruby" thought they
tasted like those Kraft cheese slices in the
plastic wrapping. Then she took another bite
and realized they were worse, "Generic
cheese slices in the plastic wrapping."
The energy in there was so awful we
ate as fast as we could. They had the gall to
hang up the worst paintings for sale. For $600
you could have a glossy painting of Mt.
Rainier with Indians or some other residents
of Eden in the foreground. The famed
graffitied bathroom was painted over as well.
I guess the main problem is that they
insist on calling themselves the Clubside.
This links them to the one before it as if they
were similar. Proffit's Clubside Cafe is
actually a tiny version of the Spar but not as
good. Two Spars can never exist on the same
street so it is in my opinion as well as
"Ruby's''.that this venture won't last long.
A moment that described the mood of
the night was when a young man in a skirt
came in to use the bathroom. He was the only
other customer that came in while we were
there. He came out of the bathroom with a
disturbed look on his face and asked how
much coffee was. He left immediately and
never came back.

Tuition waver ideas
restricted bylaws
The following notice is in regards to
tuition waivers:
The proposed plan to restructure the
tuition waiver programs at the college was
forwarded to the Attorney General's Office
for review. We have been advised that current
laws do not give Evergreen the flexibility to
initiate new programs or increase the
mandated need-based allocation. Therefore,
we will keep all existing tuition waiver
programs for the academic year of 1994-95.
The college does have the prerogative,
however, to grant tuition waivers only to
students working toward their first
undergraduate degree. This requirement will
go into effect for Fall 1994. In addition,
waivers will be granted through the quarter
when the student is registered to complete
his/her 180 credits.
Evergreen .intends to seek legislation
during the 1995 legislative session that would
allow us more autonomy in the
administration of the tuition waiver funds,
which are now under the college's control.
We hope that such legislation would allow
us to reallocate the funds in ways which are
consistent with our institutional priorities.
Students will be kept informed as we
proceed.
.
.
The committee wishes to thank those
members of the community who took time
to send us written comments regarding the
proposal. Those comments will be taken into
consideration next year when the existing
proposal or a new one is submitted to
President Jervis.

io: literary culture magazine
IS a composition of interviews, shon
stories, book reviews, poetry and
articles. A quarterly-magazine born
in the heart of Austin, Texas, io is
written by and for blossoming
young
writers
who
are
unfortunately, undermined by th~
efforts of tho se who
produce it.
Attempts at coolness
drown in the lukewarm
water of submissions
heavily salted by allusions
to television , both past and
present;
sophomoric
references to Andy Warhol
and dwindling memories of
high school French.
Of Anne Rice, editor
Melissa Petrek says, "the
author see ms to have
figured out providing
detailed family trees, a la
Danielle Steele, worked like
a charm ..... Besides the poor
use of restaurant French
how many witches do yo~
know who trace their
lineage through the efforts
of Danielle?
The editors claim ";0
will spotlight younger
authors whose day in the
sun is now, but . who are
forced !o howl at the moon
for recognition. io will be
that moon, and more."
Let's see, pictured on the
cover is Mark Levner, described as
"something of a celebrity," being
associated with MTV, and who was
eight when the Beatles hit the U.S.
Then, on page nine, there is
an advertisement for a book titled
How to Suppress Women Writing
by Joanna Ru ss (w hich I've
gathered is about recognizing the
suppression).
On page 10 there is a review
ofthe book The Last Generatioll by
Cherrie Moraga, who, as it says in
the article, is a poet, playwright.
lesbian, political activist, etc. Eric
Rasmussen says of Moraga, "Few
of these odes attempt anything like
human insight." her writing
becomes a "platitude," she "lacks
s
(l1"1"()1"
focus and soon becomes irksome"
and she is "like a lot of less
experienced writers." (I'Ill tempted
to deliver a copy of Russ ' book in
person and do something kind of ugly
with it.)
Finally, if the three short
fictions (all written by men), only one
of the authors was somewhat kind to
women by almost totally omitting our
presence and the other two ... well, try
a story with two women who want
to have sex with each other, but need
a man there to make it " more
natural."
Good read.
Despite io's downfalls (did I
mention the poetry?), there are some
positive sides. For one, they featured
a wonderful article on alternative
rodeo. And they included their
address, hoping that "with you input,
our output will be better." Please send
them something ... anything .

Secret poetry socie,ty
round meeting in dorms
By Chris Wolfe
.
A group of people who say they like
poetry have been meeting in the dorms on
Thursday nights and reading poetry that they
ltke, sometimes their own poems. They also
drink some wme.
.
Sometimes there's music playing on a
ltttle blaster, too. Cool jazz is the best for
poet~, but t~ere's nO.t enough good tapes for
contmuous 50s era Jazz, so sometimes less
appropriate music gets played.
So~etimes it's hard not to feel silly. It's
a pote?tlally pretentious situation, people
sltttng tn a circle reading poetry and drinking
red wine with Sonny Rollins' "Blue Seven:'
playing in the background. But for people
who really like poetry it seems natural.
Others tell themselves that it's kind of
kitsch, kind of like a theme party and feel
okay wit? themselves that way. Others try
not to bnng .any preconceived notions and
just go for the sound of the words being read.
There are some,favorite poems that are
read often . ee cummings and Charles
Bukowski are favorite poets. Bill Holm, who
wrote an entire book of poems and songs
about a type of pesky Minnesota'bug called
the boxelder bug is a special favorite, though
teh
. book, Boxelder
group' s one copy a f thIS
Bug Variations is often forgotten and may
be now lost. Many other poets are read; it's
a flood of words.
There's a pile of books people bring on
th e coffee table and a participant picks a book
up and thumbs through until they find one
they like, then they read it out loud. Others
bring their own well-read favorites . And
some bring their own poems, but nor many.
. Many people especially enjoy reading,
dlsclalmmg out loud, though poetry voices
are frowned upon and subject to mockture.
A poetry voice is a particular way of reading
poetry. The words are kind (If spat out and
the last syllable of the line is rai sed and
. II y drawn out. It is often heard in open
especla
mIke poetry readings and is a sign of: BAD
POETRY. People theorize it's some kind

WIth Jack Kerouac. It is the gravest mi stake.
All in all, people like poetry night pretty
well. It's Thursday 's at 8 p.m. For directions

A Rainy day I n Hollywood
('-'pn oint
-
by John Ford
It's Friday night. Despite Joel's best intentions,
The Edgejust isn't gonna do it tonight. Letterman's a
#@$%&*+! rerun . Now what???
Must be time to hit the video store! Now, there
are all manner of video rental outlets throughout the
Greater Olympia Area, but most of you Gooey-types
aren't gonna go too far, so for the sake of this piece
let's focus on Evergreen's two main video squeezes;
Rainy Day Records and Hollywood Video,
•
If your tastes are fairly pedestrian, Hollywood
would seem to fill the bill, Over 12,000 titles grace
their she lves, new releases are stocked in depth , and
they also rent audio books as well as video games.
All cata log titles (old stuff) are rentable for 5 days at
$ 1.50 (a se riou s draw for the average forgetful
customer). The staff all wear the same cute formal
shirtslbowt ies and are generally cord ial.
Hollywood's drawbacks: Too many customers
on weekends, The place is like Grand Central Station
st uffed into a phone booth makin g checkout lines
intolerable. New releases are overnight rentals only,
a real pain for those of us who rely on IT to get to and
fro.The catalog selection is somewhat scattershot, for
example, their Foreign section (Why don ' t any of
these chains call this section International ??) has
Embassy Home Video's Samurai 2 and Samurai 3.
but not the first film. They only carry parts of most
'series', TheThin Man, ThePink Panther, etc.
All in all, not bad if you're not fussy. They must
be doing something right, they drove next-door
neighbor Desco out of the videotape rental (at the
Harrison location).
If you seek eclectic selection,
knowledgeable staff, and ajust plain
folks a ttitude, Rainy Day is the
hands-down
champ.
They ' re always on
the lookout for
the daring,
the
the avantgarde and the
just plain WEIRD.
All rentals are at least
two days, and all kidvids are 99~

Zines you lllig h t Ii ke
by Dante Salvatierra
Reviewing zines is an act of futility.
Zines can be so personal it would be like
reviewing someone's mole on their butt.
Zines can also be so damn low budget
that giving a bad review leaves sort of an
empty fee ling when you know you ·trampled
on something but you look under your foot
and there really isn ' t anything there. I was
approached by a CPJ staff person who asked
me to do a zine review and I couldo't resi st
si nce I love the little things so much.
I don't feel that being tooth and nai Is
critical here is useful , they' rejust zines. I'll
just tell you what's in them and what works
and maybe what doe sn' t. I chose three
recently made zines that aren't the typical
eve ryday punk publications that litter 85
percent of zinedom.
From Far Off #/. 16 pages, 8.5 x II.
This zine is put together by a bunch of young
Asian-Americans trying to break the white
barrier in the oh so progressive U.S. punk
rock ~ce n e. Don't be fooled by the angry
sk ull -metal art on the cover, thi s zine is
unique in that it features bands from Asia
and views from Asians in virtually all white
punk land. In this issue they write about
Rono Tse of Disposable Heroes ... and a band
called Carburator Dung from Malaysia.
Don ' t forget to read the "Exotic Girl" advice
column. Pretty good first issue and finally
some diversity. There's no price li sted but
for an issue send about $1 and maybe some
stamps to: From Far Off. PO. Box 6274,
Minneapolis, MN 55406.
An Infrathin of Bec/Juse #1. 24 pages,
8.5 x 5.5. This was put together by one of
the Evergreen art students who built that
little room in the first floor of the Library
Building last quarter. It's a personal fanzine
that has a lot to do with art and what cookies,
coffee, chairs and comedy have to do with
it. I still don't know what infrathin means

customer's needs and
tastes. This is

Disagreement over latest Fl-- oy))
by Graham White
The Division Bell emerged in stores
across the nation on April 5, bearing the
divided facial sculpture of iron on the cover.
I purchased the album even after hearing and
disliking the "Keep Talking" single released
over a month ago.
"Keep Talking," as it turns out, is one
o(the better moments of the album. The
open ing track, "Clu ster One" is of merit,
providing a typical Floydian atmospheric
mind-sedater. The rest of the a lbum
resembles oatmeal.
From the first piano note to the final
chorus, The Division Bell reeks of old age
and lack of inspiration. 1 don't believe old
age has been a problem for the band until
now.
In this new batch of songs, Gilmour
(vocals, guitars) tries to sound ragged and
harmoneuos against the unimaginative and
predictable chord progressions. Wright
(keyboards) even has his own track on this
one, but its lounge lizard tempo and sappy
lyrics only add to the yuppie spirit of the
alb um .
night, it is hard to appreciate or choose from
their remarkable selection without being in
some other film aficionado's way. Longer
rental windows for older titles would be
handy as well, and would be an a.sset in
competition with Hollywood.

Six long years we have waited. The

to form, they have once again improved their
own perfection. With The Division Bell, and
what is probably their last release, Pink Floyd

Roger Waters 11 years ago, Pink Floyd,

It's hard to imagine that this band once
had original flair, back in 1967 when they
used Lo play at the "Come and Trip" clubs in
England. Back in those days they spent more
time experimenting in new sounds to
generate with their instruments than making
conventional music. Unfocused, innovative
art.
I can't imagine that they are really
pleased with this most recent release - not
unless the entire band has become as tone
deaf to music as their drummer is to rythym
(on this album only).
Well, this band seems to have a different
style for every album they put out, and so
this simply is a new style of theirs that I don't
like. In my opinion, I've wasted $16. I don't
want to hear this album again, anyone want
to buy it off me? Ii's only been played once.

could have been a fantastic last album . The
lyrics were good, the guitaring immaculate,
and the album sound . But with a song titled
"Sorrow," as their last song, it couldn't end.
When they put together Th e Division
Bell, their music evolved again. This album
isn't as hard as A Momentary Lapse, the
sound is more new age-acoustical. Thi s
isn't to say that they abandoned their gu itars,
the songs are rich with the melodies of
Gilmour's Fender-Stratacaster. Gil mour is
just a little more gentle with it.
The two instrumentals, "Cluster One"
and "Marooned," are ri veting flights of
musical fancy. As always , every song
brought on the head-to-toe tingles. I would
recommend a favorite song, but as I listen
again and again to the tape, I have to wonder
- walt a minute - I thought that other song
was fantastic too.
Of course I recommend that you buy
The Division Bell. I don 't care that it is on a
major label- KAOS should play it. All I
need now are some concert tickets.
