THE EVERGREEN STATE COLLEGE

Klickitat protesters march on the capitol

The other day I was choking on my own pn
cost for being a poet, I guess, though I do confess I've only
been one a week now . And in that time I never would have
expected to hear the fusion of American scatting and the lndoSanskrit language. Can you imagine?--and yet there it was
staring me in my face, almost accusing me of being ugly, which
I guess I am if it says so. But I think where I wanted to go with
that was to say that one hundred and one years have passed now
since the masters of east & west, united in a single cause,
climbed the hills overlooking the city of Jafa and discussed the
coming of this new breed in the world of their most esteemed,
irreputable learning . What they had studied, encrusted in old
tombs and hade vigil, was now out of their hands.

Above: Margaret Palmer, a member of the Wishcum band of the Yakima
Confederacy, speaks before the crowd and the media on the Capitol steps.
Left: Chief Johnny Jackson , also of the Yakima Confederacy, and a
Cascade Kilckitat, informs the crowd that the Yakima Confederacy Tribal
Council is filing a suit to stop the building of houses at Nanainmi Waki
'Uu lktt (Lyle Point). He urges the crowd to voice their outrage with the
governor and the legislature.
More than 100 protesters, including many Evergreen students, marched through the streets of Olympia and on to the
capitol building last Thursday. The marchers were protesting the .development of spiritually important land in the
Columbia River Gorge (Lyle, Wash.), in violation of Native American treaty rights. The land has been occupied by
protestors since Sept. 27, after it was purchased by Columbia Gorge Investors, a private development group.

'Kramer' fan
feels shafted

by Seth "Skippy" Long
Michael "Kramer" Richards is not
speaking at Evergreen's graduation this
year. A write-in campaign led by senior
John Pi ekarski has failed to force
Richards on to the bal1ol.
At a meeting Wednesday, Dec. 8,
Dean of Enrollment Services Arnaldo
Rodriguez announced that author Alice
Walker had received the most first-choice
votes. Nobellaurcates Toni Morrison and
Rigoberta Menchu Tum and first lady
Hillary Rodham Clinton followed Walker
in the ranking of most pepular choices.
Richards received only 11 write-in

by Rob Davis
During the last several weeks,
John Piekarski, a student, posted nearly
300 flyers across campus 10 promote the
addition of Richards, an Emmy-winning
actor and Evergreen alumnus who plays
Kramer on the sitcom Seinfeld, to the
gmduation speaker ballot.
Piekarski missed the first
graduation meeting, when 35 seniors
narrowed down the list of candidates to
19, due to his work schedule. A recent
graduation newsletter stated, "Decisions
made at these meetings cannot be
overturned by the group attending the
next meeting."
Because Piekarski could not
attend the meeting, he feels shafted by the
process.
"I think 35 people shouldn't be
allowed to deci<le who the speaker is," he
said. "We should be allowed to do writeins. It'd be nice to have an alum speak,
especially one who won an Emmy."
In the past, studentS decided to
reduce the number of candidates on the
ballot so that a clear winner could be
established, said Arnaldo Rodriguez, dean
of Enrollment Services.
"One year, I made a ballot of
every suggested speaker," said Rodriguez.
"There were so many to chose from.
Students came up with the idea of
narrowing down the list at a meeting. We
found it to be the best method to narrow
down the list to a reasonable level, and
there have been no objections until this
year."
Part of the difficulty stems from
low senior attendance at the graduation

vote~.

lnvi lations will go out to all 19
c<l!IlJidates, informing them that they were
nom inated and asking if they are
available to speak. Candidates will also
be asked if they charge a speaking fee.
They will not be infonned of Evergreen's
$3,500 limit for a speaker fee.
Candidates have until Feb. 1 to
reply to the college.
Rodriguez also announced at
Wednesday's meeting that, having
received the majority of student votes,
this year's graduation theme will be,
"You want fries with that?"
Many students at the meeting were
angry with the theme and requested that
art for the graduation program and t-shirt
not be allowed to reflect the theme. Some
contin ued this vein of reasoning by
asking that speakers not be allowed to
address the theme. Both ideas lost out to
proposals to allow both the speakers and
the artists to make the decisions
themselves.
"It seemed to have no point," said
student Cindy Laughlin of the meeting.
" I think that it was bullshit that they

TEse Alumnus Michael Richards
wanted to ban artistic fTeedom."
. Wayne Au, a student, said "I
thought it was a poor meeting in general.
I think the theme represents Evergreen ...
but I think it's a way too simple way to
address cynicism."
Senior Wendy Hall said, "I thought
it was interesting that the first thing
people wanted was to do was overthrow
what the vote had been. It was so ... so
Evergreen. It was very dictatorial.
"Arnaldo saved the meeting .
Without him, democracy would have
gone out the window."

Ballot called for
student sensitivity
by Rob Davis
A portion of the gmduation speaker
nomination ballot caused some
controversy among students who
interpreted its meaning as "No white
male speakers allowed."
The ballot, wrillen by Dean of
Enrollment Serv ices Arnaldo Rodriq uez,
stated, "I would ask you to be sensitive
. to the College's commiunentto women
and to people of color when you make
your suggestion."
"We've had at least one ortwoyears
when everyone students chose was a
while male, and people questioned that,"
said Rodriquez. '.'The whole process
came iilto question. People need to think
about that issue before, when nominating,
and when voting."
But did this mean no white males?
"I don't think that's true at all," he
said. "Robert Fulghum (who is a white
male) spoke two years ago, among others,
and we had a wonderful celebration.
That statement is only on there to alert
students that if they want to be sensitive
to issues of race and gender, they need to
be sensitive at the beginning."

Cartoonist Jonah Loeb and
mem bers of the C PJ staff met with
members of ASIA and the community on
Tuesday to discuss Loeb's comic "Rin
Tin Tin in the Philippines."
Approximately 20 people were present for
the discussion, which lasted for nearly
two hours.
Loeb's cartoon ran in the Nov. 11
C P J. Since the decision to run the
cartoon, the C P J has revised its
submission policy. Previously, the CPJ
would print any submission from the
community so long as it was not libelous
or malicious. Writers and cartoonists for
the C PJ are now expected to accept
responsibility for their work. Being
available for meetings with the
community is one way to · accept this
responsibility.
Dante Salvat ierra, a student
attending the meeting, explained,

Theft from campus
cars, from cover
C-lot. He then encountered three
indiv iduals in F-lot engaged in
"suspicious activity."
Eddy pursued the individuals as
they drove away along Driftwood Road,
but he lost lhem a short while later. He .
discovered the truck they had been driving
abandoned in a nearby field later that
morning with presumably stolen items in
it. Only one of the items had been
reported stolen by an Evergreen student.
"Part of the problcm," said Eddy,
"is that a lot of the people doing this are
pretty well organized. They work in
teams of two or three or four. They'll
work with lookouts to monitor our
movements. "
He added that the problem is not
confined to Evergreen. "Out in the
county, there are 20 or 30 of these a
night."
In a bulletin released Wednesday ,
Public Salety said they are working with
the Thurston County Sheriff's office on
the investigation of the thefts.
Eddy said that people can, "cut
lo sses by not leaving wallets,
checkbooks, credit and ATM cards in
their vehicles."
"The community can help us by
reporting anything suspicious," Eddy
said. "We're frustrated as hell."
Seth "Skippy" Long is the
manaJ{ing edilO~ o/the CPJ.

"Meetings like that are important. It
seemed like there were a- lot of people
looking to make somebody feel bad. I
don't condcmn that. . People should be
made responsible for their actions."
"It was a productive meeting," said
Tom Mercado, director of Student
Activities. "Students had a chance . to
beller understand Jonah's point of view
and Jonah got a chance to find out why
people might be upsct."
"I was glad that we had the
meeting. You could ne:VF,r talk about
these things spontaneously," said Loeb
in a phone interview. "The really good
point was putting in the historical
perspective [for me.)"
"He managed ~o choose a word
I't!ogcaters'] that has been used in this
country against Filipinos and other Asian
groups," explained Salvatierra.
According to Mercado, when
Theodore Roosevelt was Secretary of the

Navy, dog-eating was something that was
used 10 convince the American public
that a military presence was needed in the
Philippines. Since then, citations of
dogeating have had connotations of
cultural inferiority.
Loeb insists that he was ignorant
of that point of view. He had intended to
show that an icon of the doininant culture
would be considered food in another.
"My purpose for drawing the cartoon was
for thc shock value towards European
ideology," he said. "There was no racism
intended in the carlOOn.'~
"I think we're going to be
discussing a lot of things," said Sara
Slcffens,..editor-in-chief of the CPJ, who
characterized the meeting as objective and
calm. Seth Long, Managing Editor, also
felt that people wcre very understanding.
"They handJed a delicate topic in
a very constructive way," said Mercado.

The seareh for the new director of
First People's Advising Services has
.come to a close.
No one will be offered the job until
next week, but the bulk of the work to
narrow down the applicants is finished.
Career Development counselor
Leticia Nieto-Johnson, of the DTF
committee responsible for much of the
decision making, said the search was,
"one of the broadest recruitment efforts
I'd ever seen."
Applicants were sought through a
l:arcfully worded announcement that was
distributed throughout the country.
Advertisements for the position
appeared in magazines and mailings, and
DTF members were encouraged to pass
the word around.

The response, although small, was
encouraging.
Shannon Ellis, deal} of Student and
Academic Support Services, said
although thc beginning of fall is "a
terrible time to recruit for a job," she was,
"pleasantly surprised as to the quality of
the applicants."
The committee received around 20
applications from a "very diverse group,"
said Ellis. The diversity was accounted
for on the differences in age, gender and
race.
The DTF set specific minimum
guidelines for what they were looking for
in a candidate, including: "A masters
degree in guidance, counseling,
psychology, student personnel services or
a related field. Experience in providing
service to students of color, experience in

.
According to Nieto-Johnson, it was
imperative that the candidate be, "tuned
in to what students of color need, and
work to achieve those goals." She or he
must be, "someone that seems accessible
to [students]. Someone that will put
people at ease."
Ellis's work really started when the
DTF finished. She has spent the last two
and a half weeks (since the DTF turned
in its report) checking candidate
references, talking to immediate
supervisors and students with whom the

meetings. The group can change as much

as 50 percent from meeting to meeting,
and sticking to past decisions ensures the
efficacy of the entire process, 'explained
Rodriguez.
"If students can't be at a meeting,
they should ask their fellow seniors to
lobby for a speaker in their place," said
Rodriguez. "The year I did the ballot
with every name, there was no clear
picture. Someone who got three votes
could have made the finalist list. Is that

candidates have worked.
The finalists for the position have
boiled down 10 three candidates; Maria

It is now Ellis's time to make the
final decision.
Nieto-Johnson describes the DTF's
committment to the project, "We worked
very hard to look for the best person. A
lot of us came with our own wishes for
what we wanted for the position. I feel
confident that the wishes were met."

Others, however, found the
meeting to be entirely predictable. "'Dade
skin has less value than light skin,' is the
unwritten and unspoken cultural rule of
Euro-American people that causes people
of color the greatest hann," explained
Mario Flores, a student that attended the
meeting. "The CP J will not make any
change of substance that limits this
freedom of expression until the people
who run the CPJ escape the influence of
this rule."
"Unfortunately, yes, it will keep
on happening," said Steffens, suggesting
that the issue of multiculturism and the
press is nol likely to be resolved in the
near future.

more democratic than our process now? I
don't think so."
Rodriguez explained his
preference not to allow any write-ins
which might result from Piekarski's
efforts, though a mass of write-ins would
have obviously put him in an unusual
predicament.
"I want to be clear and fair," said
Rodriguez. "If there [were) a lot of writeins, I'd have to go baek to the group at
the next meeting and say, 'You've ranked
these people, but we had write-ins, so
what should we do?' ... What's important
is how decisions are made; if we say
people at meetings will decide, then we
should stick to that."
"It's not my role to get Michael
Richards on or off the ballot," said
Rodriguez. "My function is to facilitate
the process so everyone can have as much
of a say as possible. It's not 100 percent
fool proof, but we do the best we can."
Rob Davis will be leaving TESC
next quarter. We at the CPJ will miss
him.

all about to go on vacation, we thought
we'd leave you with a few words of
wisdom to tide you through the holiday
SC:lson.
First, we hope you'll be able to
properly express your holiday sentiments
thi s season. One of the reasons we cling
10 this hope so fervently is that every
ycar, windows are beautifully painted
(maybe not quite beautifully) with warm
sentimen ts and colorful scenes, yet the
effec t is irrevocably marred by the ugly
blot of an improper apostrophe
placement! Whooee. It makes us shudder.
So why don ' t we take a moment to
rellect on what these common phrases
mean and what punctuation, if any,
should be used.
"Season's Greetings" - what does
that mean to you? Okay, forget your
[Jolitic:.!1 opposition to consumerism and
s uc h, what is it supposed to mean? It
mcans "greetings of the season,"
naturally. "Seaso ns Greetings" doesn't
sa y that, nor does "Seasons Greeting's."
How could it?

If you've read the col umn on
apostrophes, you :.!Iready know these
things. And once told, you wouldn't
make a slip of that sort, would you?
Well, you might, if the recent editions of

they're too busy laying out the paper to

other common winter expressions do not.
Take " Happy Holidays" as an

to put an apostrophe in this phrase? Yet

'Nough said.
But before you worry about all
this holiday stuff, you probably need to
ge t your final paper and evaluation
written. You may have many wonderful
ideas to express, so don't obscure your
mcaning with poor wording, punctuation,
and spelling. How seriously can we take
a statement which equates something
with "emperialism"? Believe us, you
don't come across as particularly educated
if you write "a theory gains it's
explanatory power only through empirical
study ." Besides, these mistakes really
bug us.

all too common grammatical errors. We

Turkish nurse disappears after police detainment
Amnesty International is seriously
concerned with the safety of Olcay
Kanlibas, a 23-year-old Turkish nurse,
who has "disappeared."
On Oct. 27, 1993, Kanlibas was
detained at her place of work, a hospital
in Diyarbakir. Two hours later, the police
searched her home. At 11 p.m. , they
searched her home again and LOok books
a nd photographs. They de nie d any
knowledge of her detention .
Later that night, an entry was made
in the hospital registry that Kanlibas was
admiued to the casualty ward of the
hospital.
He r sis ter ha s been petitioning the
prosecutor's office for information about
her whereabouts. However, the
authorities do not acknowledge holding
he r, in spi te of the overwhelming
ev idence.
Kanlibas is not a member of any
political p:.!ny, but she docs belong to a
health worker's trade union .
However, in recent days , a number
of people were detained in her home
vi llage (Topraktepe, near Dogansehir in
Malatya province), and it is possible that
one of these me ntioned her name under
lorture.
Although the police' are expected to
reg is ter those detained, their increasing
fai lure to do so is a cause for alarm.
Turkey continues to be in the midst
of large scale military conflict because of
the Kurdish fight for an independent state.
T he slate of e mergency is in the 10
provinces, including Diyarbakir and the

Home toxins advice
misleading, wrong
Your Dec. 2 issue of the CPJ contained

a short article titled "Safer alternatives to
home taxics." The article contained two
suggestions that will cause more harm than
good: shoe polish and wood polish.
You suggest using olive oil to polish
shoes. This will turn shoes rancid and destroy
both the stitching and the integrity of the
leather. Any oil will break down the stiffness

acce ptable. but it's difficult to work into the
leather. Probably the best method is good 01'
Sno-seal. Itcontains a few waxes and mineral
spirits (to make it easier to apply and quicker
to dry).
As far as wood polish goes, never. never,
. never use olive oil or vegetable oil, unless
you want a fungus-ridden and rancid piece of
wood. Mineral oil is good for cutting boards
and wood spoons, but try walnut oil orcoconut
o il. They won ' t spoil and are probably less
refined than mineral o il (ask a biochemist).
Furniture is more problematic. Unless
yo u know how the piece was finished. be
careful. But, in any case, if the piece will

cotton cloth and burni sh little, the operative
word being "little." Wait a few minutes and
buff it out; get those elbows going! Don ' t
wax the piece but every few years; but keep
its polish by burnishing il with a cotton rag.
For kitchen table s, which are bound to
get wet. use the elbow grease but no the wax.
Water and wax don 't mix. It' s possible that
if these polishing techniques don ' t work.

S&A fees inhibit freedo·m of·choice, trample upon our rights
by Rob Davis
Sometimes, the only way to express
truth islo be perfectly blunt. Here I go.
As a precondition to this commentary, I
emphasize that this opinion belongs solely to
the author and does n·o t represent any
organization; particularly, it does not
represent the opinion of WashPIRG.
This college reeks ·of socialistic, minddraining elements in many ways, most notably
in the mandatory S&A activity fee which
appears on any student's tuition statement.
Everyone knows that higher education
costs a ton, and the fewer "extra" mandatory
fees that exist, the better for the sake of
everyone's wallet. What currently lies in
place equals a compulsory gift-giving system
to causes which you or I might not even
support .
It's as if the college holds a magnet to
our wallets, sucking the contents to its
salivating claws in the name of mandatory
altruism. Thisconstitutes a pure, real violation
of individual sovereignty.
Before you make suppositions about my
motives, just know that the examples which
I'm about to provide do in no way adhere to
me personally.

What if you're a homophobe, which
undoubtedly some of us are? You must gi ve
money to the lesbian/gaylbisexual group,
even if you equate people of alternative sexual
orientation with barbarians.
The same theory holds true if you're a
racist (Women of Color), a man-hater(Men's
Group), a drug enthusiast (Soda Pop), an
international terrorist (Amnesty), or, god
forbid , somewhat conservative (EPIC).
Fortunately, not everyone shares the
same opinions. This
phenomena fosters
debate and causes
everyone to embark
on that life-long
search for what we
truly believe in and
what we will adhere to as our values.
If your values conflict with one of the

FRANK ZAPPA: 1940 - 1993, A TRUE WARRIOR IN THE BATTLE AGAINST CENSORSHIP

Cooper Point Journal

by Jeff Cleaves .
Homer's Odyssey is the foundation
of Evergreen's latest stage production.
There were two performances of the play
at the college on Dec. 4 and 6.
The Odyssey was originally a 500
page epic poem written by Homer of
Greece in ninth century B.C. The original
poem contains 24 books which tell the
story of the mighty warrior Odysseus,
king of Ithaca, and his adven[ures after
the Trojan war.
The script is a dramatization of The
Odyssey adapted by Kurt Beattie and
Gregory. A. Falls for A Contemporary
Theater In Seattle. It features seven of the
24 books of Homer's epic poem. The

which she considers to be· a type of selfhelp " therapy."
" In the context of Take Back the
Night, it is entirely acceptable to praise
yourself for bravery, to praise yourself for
recovery, and to praise yourself for
gelling out of bed every morning and
eating breakfast," writes Roiphe
I think that's an exaggeration. What
is important about Take Back the Night
is that it brings issues like sexual assault
to the publ ic.
The re's a point Roiphe makes
about the march which I feel is accurate.
It's too victim oriented.
Roiphe points out that "Although
the march is intended to celebrate and
bolster women's ·strength, it seems
instead to celebrate their vulnerability.
The marchers seem to accept, even ,
embrace, the mantle of victim status."
I agree. Why say, "'I am a victim, I
am silenced, I am oppressed." Rather, it
should be, "I am a fighter, I will speak
my mind, I won't be held down."
Rape and Dating
This is an interesting section. This
is the part where people will accuse
Roiphe of being another Paglia. If [ get

the beautiful island of tile enchantress
Circe, across to the land of king Aeolus,
keeper of the winds, through the
underworld of Hades, past the land of the
Sirens with their sweet and treacherous

The production is touring schools,

classes. Charlotte Tienckin Woolridge,

Author critical of today's feminist movement
by Emi J. Kilburg
After severa l unsuccessful attempts
to book Katie Roiphe for an interview,
my partner brought Roiphe's book, The
Morning After: Sex, Fear, and Feminism
O fl Campus, home from work and placed
it on LOp of the kitchen table. I promptly
put down Green Eggs and Ham and
picked up this much talked about book
wri tten by the 24-year-old Princeton grad
~udenL
The Morning After is a book that
raises valid criticism surrounding current
feminist dogma on the issues of rape, sex,
sexua l harassment and feminism in
general. The book is an easy read; I read
it in one day. I like the fact that it's
written by a student, because I feel like
Roiphe is talking with me, not to me.
In her introduction, Roiphe writes
"I have written what I see, limited,
personal, but entirely real. I have written
my impressions."
I think that explains why at times
throughout the book, I felt as if Roiphe
was making broad generalizations.
Obviously , her impressions won't be
everyone 's. But, there are opinions and
attitudes she expresses that can't be
entirely discouQled as her own.
Take Back the Night
Roiphe allots an entire chapter to

you if you don't s leep with me."
Roiphe argues that by including verbal
coercion as rape, "rape-crisis feminists
reinforce traditional views about the

il "

fragility of the female body and w 1.
One argument she makes about
the date rape situation is very interesting.
Roiphe compares date rape pamphlets to
Victorian guides for women. She does
this very effectively by taking lines
straight out of the pamphlets and then
compares them to Victorian guides. It
makes you think- are we going backwards
or forward?

see Roiphe, page 9

and Greek mythology was brought up.
The students read The Odyssey in eighth
grade, and Tienckin-Woolridge came up
with the idea to coordinate this play with
the student'S reading. There will be eight
performances at schools in Olympia,
Raymond and Gray's Harbor.
The production features many
c harac ters, so the cast is using th e
tec hnique of doubling actors, meaning
that each actor plays several roles. The
costumes are designed after authentic
Greek costumes and uniforms in order to
give the performance a realistic effect. A
number of masks and puppets are used to
portray many of the characters. This was a
common technique used in the Greek
theater during Homer's era.
In order to make this production
. continuou·s and true to Greek theater
performances, the actors mime many of
the props and places, relying on the
movement of the actors to create the
storm effects and other environments
surrounding the islands.
Several months of planning and
preparation went into the production,
<luring which time props such as the
hackdrop, a temple, the masks and
cost umes and a ship were buill. Paul
Gralen, stage manager and technical
director, based the masks on historical
research of the period.
The Odyssey features eight cast
members. Approximately 15 people serve
support functions, making it quite a feat
to take the production out on tour. "It
will be a lot of fun," said Tiencken
Woolridge.
The play is sponsored in part by
Evergreen's Foundation and Patrons of
South Sound Cultural Activities.

by Seth "Skippy" Long
Well, good news, true believers, I have
been busy scurrying to and fro ' seeking out
all of the latest Bev gossip. Ok, actually I sat
here in the CPJ office and it all landed in my
lap. but let me live my fantasy.
First and foremost is more chilling
gossip frorri the set regarding Gabrielle
Carteris' pregnancy. Yes, she is preggers.
Yes, it has been written in to the script. My
source from the set tells me that Carteris is
due in late February or early March.
We fans should expect to see the first
pre-natal plot twist sometime in mid-January.
It has even been reported to me that Kelly
will be the first (well, second) Bev kid to
know about this. As for any sort of moral
issues, she was supposed to take up the single
mom fight where Murphy Brown left off
but. . .

Roiphe, from page 8
Sexual Harassment
This section caused a rather
lengthy argument, er, productive
discussion in our house as to what
constitutes sexual harassment.
For
example, is leering at someone
harassment?
Roiphe believes that, "people
have the right to leer at whomever they
want to leer at. By offering protection to
the woman against the leer, the movement
against sexual harassment is curtailing
her personal power."
I kind of see her point But what
about people behaving properly in the
current environment?
Is leering
acceptable in the classroom? When
you're trying to work?
The main problem I have with
The Morning After is that apart from
raising questions and criticisms, that's all

You traditionalist, "family" oriented
folk should take heart because apparently, the
all-knowing Aaron Spelling stepped in at the
last minute to save us from such filthy, "antifamily" tripe. Rumor says he eighty-sixed
the Murphy Brown approach and opted,
instead, for making daddy stick around.
If this is true, Spelling is not protecting
us from anything. What he's really doing is
perpetuating the age-old horror story about
it does. Roiphe does not offer solutions
to remedy the situation in order to unite
the feminist movement
I'm glad I read this book even
though it sparked three arguments in my
house, You don't have to agree with
everything Roiphe says, but The
Morning After challenges you to think
critically and defend your views.
I think we nceq to listen to those
who voice dissent from what seems to be
a "one way only" brand of feminism.
Doh 't dismiss Roiphe as an anti-feminist,
that's a cop out. Rather, recognize that
the faces of feminism are different and
therefore should not conform to one
standard of thinking .
Oh, by the way, this book is nearly
twenty dollars. If you don't want to give
money to Roiphe, you're more than
welcome to borrow my copy.

getting knocked up on the first fuck, without
discussing issues of birth control and
responsibility . Maybe he got his sex
education on the playground in the fifth
grade. If this is his idea of proper sexual
education, one wonders what Tori was told
when she came of age. Hmm .. .
Speaking of Tori .. , er. .. Donna (is there
a difference anymore?), .will she. remain the
only virgin at 9021O? [I've all but put money
on David having an affair to relieve the
aching pressure in his young, virile loins.)
Rumor says that dear old dad in the
production office won't even discuss the idea
of his precious young offspring bedding
some hip-hop, Vanilla-Ice knock-off. I guess
the only lovin' that Donna gets is alone in
the tub; a la Sharon Stone.

abslolutely against the law. So kids, please
don't try this at home.

that claimed that there is contract' trouble at
90210. It would seem that Luke Perry is
holding out on negotiations over a dispute
with co-star Jason Calendar Girl Priestly.
Curry alludes to a possible argument over
who will be the Big Man on Campus at the
Bev. It would appear that all is not as happy
at 9021 O.as the writers would have us believe.
Well, that's all I have this week . Stay
tuned over the winter holiday, kids, because
as x-mas draws near, we are bound to have a
wondrously cheesy episode like last year's
It s A Wonderful Life-ish beast to keep us

visions you may have). See ya in January!

DARKNESS-As you may have
