Financial Aid bires a consultant to
examine efficiency of award process
by Stacey Shaw
The staff of the Financial Aid
office me t this week to discuss ways to
process paperwork more efficiently. They
are struggling with insufficient staff, an
out of da te automated system, and an
increase of 483 applieants in comparison
to the number at this time last year.
" The main reason for the i'ncrease
in applicants is that more people
eli gible for aid," said Georgette Chun,
director of Financial Aid. She said that
this aid comes mostly in the form of
~tu4ent lo.a ns . Chun added, "Anyone
Interested In a student loan can get one
after they apply for financial aid." This
increase in paperwork has put the
Financial Aid staff under a lot of pressure
she said. "They have worked weekends to
clear student loan applications."

time spent by staff doing anything other
than processing paperwork. A new staff
member is soon to be added and there has
been some controversy over what the role
of that person will be.
At the meeting this week, a
decision was made to bring consultant
Diane Tsukarnaki into the office in
January. Tsulcamaki is the former
president of the Western Association of
Student Financial Aid Administrators.

Address Correction Requested

by Rob Davis
A
study
conducted
by
Environmental Health and Safety Officer
J ill Lowe over Thanksgiving break
revealed that the humidity level of air in
the Library building falls far short of
safety standards.
According to Lowe, "the lowest
preferred level of humidity is around 30
percent, and that's the level of a desert.
Humidity in the Library building
remained at or below 15 percent during
th e study. This is lower than we
expected."
At least three people complained of
bloody noses and skin and mucous
membrane irritation. "Most buildings on
campus have low humidity," said Lowe.
" Low humdity is a very regular
occurrence in cold weather. We're also
finding somewhat low humidity in the
building even on rainy days like these.
This will affect everyone." She
encouraged anyone having difficulties to
ca II her at x6 t t t and file a complaint.
"High pressure fronts from the
Arctic hit the South Sound area and
lower the humdity level," said Eric
Boldt, a National Weather Service '
meteorologist. "As the temperature falls,
the air also will feel dryer from the
temperature as well as the humidity
change,"
Though plagued with air quality
problems both this year and last, Library
patrons and staff began experiencing new
air quality traumas early Monday
morning during break:.
" Due to the cold weather, the
ventilation system for the A-wing
perimeter [classrooms and offices with
windows] as well as for the B & C
wings (Library proper, computer center]
came on later than expected," said Ken
Jacob, Facilities director.

For Your Information:
H you have any questions or
complaints about the
environmental quality on
campus please call
Jill Lowe at x6111.
"Normally the system starts
operating at 6 a.m., but we were on a
different schedule for the break, so it
started at 6:30 a.m. In the A-wing, it
didn't start up until 7:34 a.m. The system
actually was on, but it was throttled
down and restrained since the outside air
was so cold. It actually cut down the
amount of fresh air circulating in the
system."
"I'd been in the Comm building
since 8:30 a.m. ," said Marcus Frank, a
Library staff member. "Five minutes after
I came in here, 1 noticed it. My lips bum,
my mouth has a metallic taste, and I'm
having.stomach cramps."
Both Frank and other Library staff
phoned Lowe to file complaints.

supervisor, said, "I called her and told her

. Evergreen waits to see what will happen to our budget
by Rob Davis
Evergreen administrators will not
know how the College's budget will be
affected by Gov. Mike Lowry's
supplemental budget request until midFebruary, or possibly March.
Three weeks ago, Lowry asked all
state agencies to submit a plan to cut two
percent from their 1994 budgets. Lowry
will use these plans to form his
supplemental budget request.
Evergreen administrators responded
that if forced to cut our 1994 budget by
two percent, the College would slash
1994-95 enrollment by 80 to 90 students
and layoff the equivalent of 19 full·time
employees.
"Over the next four months, we
don't need !o get too excited," said TESC
President Jane Jervis. ''These are requests,
not orders. Over the years, Evergreen has
been well-treated by the legislature. From
what I understand, the governor can tell
us to cut the budget only if there is a
demonstrated lack of funds. That is not
the case."
"Two percent, as painful as it'd be,
is politically doable," said Steve Trotter,
college budget officer. Trotter added that
as well as responding to the request for a
plan to modify the current budget, the
school will soon start developing the
budget for the 1995-97 biennium, and
begin a long-range planning process
which will eventually shape that budget
Neither Jervis nor Trotter envision
a process similar to last year, in which
students and staff held working councils
and processes to politicize why the
college should exclude their particular
areas from budget cuts.
"Last year was such a laborintensive process that we are looking at
other avenues of keeping the campus
informed," said Trotter. "We're not
picking one agency over another. We are
developing change to our long·range

budget committee, and I am positive
there wi II be students on that
committee."
"We already got lots of input last
spring," said Jervis.
As to the practicality of the
proposed cuts, Jervis stated that 85
percent of the budget goes to personnel
and the remainder to travel, lighting,
heating, copier materials and the like.
"When that percentage is people, you

can't do anything without cutting
people," she said.
. Cutting Evergreen's enrollment,
though politically difficult, constitutes
the rest of the cut. "It's not our position
to deny people access, but we feel we've
eroded the quality of education here
already and don't want it to go any
further," said Trotter. "You can see it in
our freshmen retention, the size of
seminars ... people are not finding their
voice, and it's to the point where it's
uncomfortable. "
"Everyone's trying to understand
what the vote for Initiative 601 meant,"
said Je~is. ''The legislators are making
calculatIOns based on their political
futures. But I interpret 1-602's failure as
people not wanting to see a negative
impact on higher education. The
legislators will be trying to see where

with oppression from the "in group" and
the "out group."
It's problematic, but when
thought of in these terms, an individual
and groups can begin to understand how
to surmount barriers to communication.
Once this occurs, I think some progress
can be made in dealing with the
oppression within oppressed groups and
between stigmatized groups.
M H: Can able-bodied people
show support or solidarity for people
with disabilities, without overstepping
boundaries of respect and personal
independence?
C H:
Even that question is
loaded, and that has to be recognized. We
must use this language to address the
problem, but within the words used, a
second meaning exists. This language
reifies a false dichotomy.

Statewide alcohol policy deadline is fast approaching
by Andrew Lyons
The state-wide deadline for colleges
a nd universities to address their alcohol
~on s umpti on policy is fast approaching ,
lo rc lng Eve rgreen to take a look at its
own po licy .
By Jan. I , each of the six state
sc hools mu st submit a polic y to the
Washington Higher Education Board.
The plans submillcd by each of the
school s arc required to include means for
<lss uring " to the highest degree possibl e,
that therc is no underage drinking ." They
must also include details of services that
w ill be prov ided for stude nts with
drinking problems.
Accord ing to Substitute House Bill
1082, passed in March, "each of the state
uni versi ti es , and T he Evergreen Sta te

College shall submit to the Washington
Hi gher Education Coordinating Board, a
compre hensive plan to combat student
a lcohol abu se, in c luding underage
clrinking~"

"Thi s bill is aimed at moderation,"
said Mike Heavey, D-Seattle, one of the
ori g inal sponsors of the bill. "Il's geared
toward schools with Greek systems who
arc reluc tant to have guidelines," he said.
Heavey a ttributed an increase in
vio lence on collcge campus' re lated to
alCoho l as th e reason for proposing the
bill.
The key incident Heavey mentioned

Less waiting in lines to register
for winter quarter classes
by Stacey Shaw
Hopin g t o s tre amlin e the
registration process, Regi stration and
Record s has made a number of changes.
Pre-registration is taking place Dec.
9 to 17 and non-negotiable appointments
w ill be made for students during that
weck.
If a person cannot ke ep their
appointment date , they do have a few
options . If the program does not require a
signature , a frie nd ean register for the
person during Iheir appoinunent time. A
person unable to be at the Registrar's in
pe rson can also c all during their
a ppointment time or mail in a
registration. If a program does require a
sig nature, students are encouraged to get
fac ulty approval at the academic fair on
Wednesday, Dec. 8 fro m 3 to 5 p .m.
Regis tration s fo r evening and weekend

students will be accepted on the same day
from 3 to 6 p .m.
If none of those options apply, the
student must register during the open
registration dates on Jan. 3,4,6, and 7.
On Wednesday, Jan. 5 the Registration
office will be working with wait lists and
balancing the drop list, so they are not
accepting registrations.
Students doing internships and/or
contracts must bring those to the
registration office in person during walkin time. Contract and internship
proposals will not be accepted by mail.
Appointment dates were selected
based on Ihe amount of credit a student
had as of Nov. I. After those categories
of seniority were determined more or less
by class standing a random process was
instilled within those categories.
Stacey Shaw is a CPl staffer.

beer bottle at her face. She lost an eye as
a result.
De spite the fact that Evergreen has
no Greek system, it must also comply
with the legislative decision .
" Not only schools with Greek
systems have alcohol problems ," said
interim Provost Russ Lidman.
One incident in particular occurred
at Evergreen. 01'\ Halloween night 1991 ,
an intoxicated student lacerated another
students face with a broken bottle in Adorm .
Anothe r drug-re late d incide nt
happe ned last year, whe n a student was
fo und dead in the Modular hou sing
laundry room . The cause of death was a
suspected heroin overdose.
" What we need to do is make sure
that people are aware of the policy , and
they follow the policy ," said Lidman.
The current policy state's that "for
on-campus e vents a liquor or banquet
permit is required and must be posted at
the event."
The policy goes on to state that
s taff or faculty involved with class
potlucks or other school-related activities
take full responsibility if alcohol is
served. The policy statement is virtually
devoid of mentioning alcohol
consumption in campus housing.
Initially the policy was attached

to a list of possible D1Fs, but that idea
has been abandoned since there is already
an alcohol policy advising committee
through Vice-President for Student
Affairs Art Costantino's office. The
grQup has been in existence since last
fall, and consists ofa combination of
students and faculty.
According to Costantino the
group is looking at the colleges' current
policy to make sure that they are in line
with state regulations. The group is
currently seeking more students.
"One of the things we do is talk
about drug and alcohol treatment on the
campus," said Costantino. The committee
is planning to conduct an anonymous
poll to see what kind of alcohol arid drug
use exists at the campus. They also are
writing a grant proposal to set up a
program for people seeking treatment.
When it comes time for the
college to file it's report, the group wiII
"summarize what we ' ve been doing,
because doing that. I think we will meet
the requirements of the legislature," said
Costantino.
"It seems to me that we're pretty
much conforming with what the
legislature wants now," he said

a condom. Cut off the tip of the condom. Then,
cut lengthwise along the tube that remains.
You should now have a fl at square of latex.

The envelope, please ••• Scot presents his annual awards
POP

As the yciu 1993 closes, it comes
time to look back and assess how well
we did, In that vein, I present the Fifth
Annual Scot.p, Livingston Awards (great
name, huh?)
So sit back, close your eyes,
imagine an
opening montage
choreographed by Deborah Allen,
annoying badly read banter from the
teleprompter, and Billy Crystal.
Weird, Scary Fa~t of tbe \'ear:
Barney, Garth Brooks, Nirvana, Meatloaf,
Mariah Carey and Billy Joel all occupy
the same Billboard Top 20 list at the
same time. Runner-up: They're making
another Police Academy movie. This one
takes place in Moscow, You know that
stuff I ike this could re-start the Cold
War,
Tragedy of the Year: Julia
Roberts's marriage to Lyle Lovett. I used
to be able to unanimously despise her.
This (plus her cameo in The Player)
shows that she does have some wisdom,
taste and a sense of humor. I now have to
grudgingly give the star of Pretty
Woman some respect. What a terrible
world, Runner-up: They canceled the
Chevy Chase Show, It was so bad it was
funnier than even David Letterman. If
only they had had Garry Shandling
playing Chevy Chase instead of Chevy
Chase, then it would have been a
critically lauded satire of the talk-show

community.
The Whatever Happened To ...
Award: Madonna goes on tour. The
media docsn't notice. I think she's run
Oul of things to shock us with. Runner
up: The Yoko Ono of stand-up comedy,
Tom Arnold.
The Best Imaginary Blind Date
that didn't really happen: Prince
Charles of Wales and Mia Farrow.
Runner-up: Loni Anderson and Donald
Trump.
Best Movie of The Year:
Manhallan Murder Mystery. Woody
Allen becomes funny again (did he have
any choice?) and Diane Keaton redeems
herself from Baby Boom. The Lemon
Sisters. and Look Who's Talking Now.
Runner-up: Short Cuts. All I can say is
that Lyle Lovett should give up singing
(although he is very good) and start
acting for tile rest of his life.
Weirdest fad: Comebacks by

people who never left but you . wish
would go away. Duran Duran, Steely
Dan, Cyndi Lauper, Ed McMahon.
Runner-up: Radical conservativism as a
. form of teenage rebellion.
.
Worst Idea for a Film Festival:
The works of Hulk Hogan including No
Holds Barred, Suburban Commando,
Rocky 1If, and Mr. Nanny.
The "How Did This Ever Get
Past the Drawing Board Stages?"
Award (aka. the "Cop Rock" Award):
/' II Do Anything. Nick Nolte, Alben
Brooks, Julie Kavner, and Tracey Ullman
singing songs by Prince, Sinead
O'Connor, and Carol King, in a musical
directed by James L. Brooks. RunnerUp: Fox trying to show The Rocley
Horror Picture Show on network TV.
The "Haven't I Already Seen
This Before?" Award (a.k.a. the
Repetitive Redundant Deja Vu Award All
Over Again One More Time): Ernest
Rides Again. Runner-up: Alapolooza
by "Weird AI" Yankovic.
Concert of the Year: Christine
Lavin at the Backstage (and I'm not just
saying that because I got to go up on
stage with her and sing back-up on
Sensitive New Age Guys.) Runner-up:
Ringo Starr and his All-Starr Band.
,Best Line in a Movie: "Don't
fuck with me," Macaulay Culkin in The
Good Son. Runner-up: "I will never say

that life ·doesn't imitate art again."
Woody Allen in Manhallan Murder
Mystery.
Biggest Disappointment: Boxing
Helena. Jennifer Lynch, the talented
daughter of the very talented (and weird)
film director takes a great story line and
adequate cast and turns out a boring film.
What happened? I still like The Secret
Diary OJ Laura Palmer (which she
wrote), however. Runner-up: Late Night
with Conan 0' Brien. For someone who
wrote so many funny and wacky episodes
of The Simpsons the man famous for
being unknown is amazingly mediocre.
But maybe I'm just having an allergic
reaction to his sidekick Andy Richter.
Actor of the Year: Dave Thomas
founder of Wendy's. He is tbe antiWilliam Shatner. He looks so bored,
awkward, and annoyed at having to
appear in his own commercials that own
forgets that he is a wealthy, playboy
executive, who sold Wendy's to the
Japanese five years back, and only
appears in the commercials because he is
vain, egotistical and enjoys seeing
himself on TV.
Man ofthe Year: Jason Hall.
Scot P. Livingston is a man oj
many talents; well that's what I heard

E. Ben journeys to the former site of Rajneeshpilram
Re ligions come and go, and
oftentimes no one even notices, but
occas ionally someone shows up on the
scene who's really intriguing,
One such fellow hung out in
Oregon for a few years in the last decade.
He especia lly attracted the intellectual
crowd , and I'm sure there were a few
Greeners mixed in. A legend in many a
mind, hi s name was Bhagwan Shree
Rajneesh.
Bhagwan literally means "God" or
" Blessed One," rhe name was given to
Rajneesh by followers that he had
assembled in the early 1970s. He came
from India and possessed a philosophy
that combined parts of eastern and
western thought.
His was a philosophy that
combi ned science and mysticism, and in
doing so attracted followers from allover
the world . The Bhagwan was a small,
frail man with a long beard. He differed
from other Indian spiritual leaders in his
rejection of celibacy and poverty. And his
success shocked the world.
All of this would have been just
fin e except that after a while Bhagwan
packed his bags, left India , and moved to
ccntrdlOregon.
Rajneesh and his followers swept
in and purchased a ranch known as Big
Muddy that consis ted of 64,000 acres of
private land and sat 20 miles by dirt road
from the little town of Antelope, Oregon.
They renamed the ranch Rajneeshpurarn.
Rajneesh reviews were mixed. On
one hand the Rajneeshes brought to
Oregon millions of dollars of
employment to an economy nearly as dry
as the desert it lived on. On the other

hand came extreme distrust. What went
on out at Big Muddy was more than just
a retirement home for an aging spiritual
leader.
When purchased in 1981, it was an
old stagecoach stop and sheep farm that
no one LOok much notice of. Bhagwan
made short work of that image.
Imagine thousands of red -robed
followers living in a virtual city of tents
working', living, and loving. They
dammed a river to create a reservoir for
swi mming, built houses, meeting halls,
and an airstrip, and bussed in thousands
more on weekends for big parties.
Big festival weekends attracted as
many as 15,000 people. Bhagwan had
over 90 Rolls-Royces that he drove
around for parades. Imagine a rancher
sa ying to his wife, "There goes the
neighborhood."
In the end, the neighborhood did
suffer a bit. Perhaps it was Bhagwan or

perhaps it was his surly right-hand
woman, Sheela, who brought about . the
demise, but the Rajneesh movement
overstepped its bounds.
They vinually took over the town
of Antelope, developed their own armed
security force to intimidate the locals and,
finally, were pinned to the attempted
murder of public officials and poisoning
the water supply for The DaJles.
The Bhagwan and his inner circle
were caught trying to flee the country.
Rajneesh was deported and died in 1990.
It was an exciting twist in the events of
recent Oregon history; one that people
won't soon forgel.
Now, eight years after
Rajneeshpuram's demise, I visited to see
what was left. The public road that leads
through the fonner desert metropolis is
littered with signs warning against
trespassing on the private land.
A caretaker lives on the premises
now and it is owned by some developer
that had delusions of turning the place
into a reson without first consulting the
zoning laws.
The buildings sit alone and
empty. Around the inner circle, or "Jesus
grove," where the Bhagwan and his close
followers used to live there still stands
behind an eight foot chain link fence.
Trails and closed roads lead up and
around the hills.

It was beautiful there. Everywhere
I looked it was easy to imagine the redrobed philosophers meditating quietly on
a hillside or wandering at an easy gait
through the brush.
I camped on public land a few
miles up the road that night and ventured
down to wander through the hills by the
light of the moon. It was dry and cold,
and I felt an attachment to those that had
wandered those hills before me.
Religion is a powerful force, and
deserves much more respect among the
GreenerjinteQectual crowd than it gets. I
was quite imptessed upon by the life of
one man who made religion come alive
for many people: Bhagwan Shree
Rajneesh.

Hi, wf;llcome to the wonderful and
exciting world of predicting Washington
state · politics. I'm ready with my '
"Karnak" hat.and envelopes ....
For the three or four of you left
who are still reading this column, let me
start by saying that despite all the
doomsaying we have heard about the
awful effects we've heard Initiative 601
will have on higher education, and on
TESC, this legislative session will
probably not be too bad. The bad news is
that the worst is yet to come, say two
years down the road and beyond.
If you can cast yourselves back to
where the college was in early March of
last year, there was serious planning
about how Evergreen would sustain a cut
of anywhere from 10 to 20 percent of its
budget. The end result was a budget cut
of around seven percent, obviously less
serious than expected.
So, extrapolating from that, the two
percent budget cut plan TESC submitted
. will probably (say 75 to 80 percent
chance) not be enacted by the legislature.
Smaller cuts might be put in, and then
again, might not.
One of the · reasons that the
leg islature won't enact the plan that
Evergreen submitted is that it asks for an
enrollment reduction . However, the
legi slature specifically appropriated
money for this year and next year to
in crease TESC enrollment by about as

much as this two percent cut plan would
cut.
This sort of proposal won't exactly
go over well with Gov. Lowry and the
legislature; it's akin to having your dad
reduce your allowance because he's laid
off and then saying you won't take out
the garbage any more because you're
being paid less.
Actually, the colleges and the
universities in the state have a better case
to make than that, since what the state
government is asking them to do is to
serve more people with less dollars, and
you can only do that so long before the
quality of service suffers, What state
coll eges and universities (Evergreen
included) are saying is they've reached
that point, and have been spread too thin;
it's either less students or more money.
With that in mind, what will
probably happen is that the brunt of any
spending cuts that will be made will fall
on social services. Don't cheer about that;
1-601 is turning budgeting into some
nightmarish game where if colleges win,

Don't give up hope though. A

would eliminate partisan staff caucuses

pregnant mothers lose, or where prisons

mood of the voters ("Lock 'em up and

who may win or lose. Expect items like
prison spending and "refonn" to occupy
the legislature's attention.
Another factor in all this is that

Is critic of, cartoon
lost in zeal?
I find new absurdities in every issue of
the CP1. The last issue opened my eyes to the
rusty logic of Wayne Wah Kwai Au. which
would impress the French playwright Eugene
lonesco.
You make too many assumptions
Wayne.
First you assume that Jonah Loeb
intended to make a racist statement. I haven't
spoken with Jonah, so I can' t make any solid
conclusions; however. I tend to believe that
his intentions were humorous, but obscured
by a lack of common sense. Had he put more
thought into his comic strip. he probably
would have reali zed that a lot of people
would like to see hi s head on a platter. Why
would anybody knowingly put themselves
into such danger')
Now let's assume Jonah meant to make
a raci st statement. Your next assumption,
that he supports "comfort stations," is
completely unfounded. It is possible for
somebody to hate another race for any number _
of reasons. including diet, while maintaining
enough morality to understand that rape is
bad under all circum stances.
When I read your leiter I saw a person
who became angry after hearing about another
act of oppress ion . But you were ex cited too.
You had a mission. You had to sniff o ut
oppressors and reveal their cri mes oYou read
Rin Tin Tin and thought: I found one! Th e n
you made a list of his crimes. It wasn ' t
enough to ac.cuse Jonah of stereotyping you needed more. You decided that if he
support s one form of oppression he mu st
support many more. You had to make him
answer for these "comfort stations." He must
hate Indians too. and Mex icans, not to mention
Haitians. You got lost in your zeal. You
realized that the rioting mobs who were
lootin g and burning down Los Angeles while
killing innocent people in the process weren ' t
so bad.
Wayne. I be lieve that you would ha ve
welcomed the National Guard ' s presence
had you been there, especially if you are
Asian . These mobs who targeted Korean
businesses probably didn't feel any differently
towards the Chinese. Japanese or Filipinos.
Would you really tru st them?
Mark Wright

Cartoon is all about
multiculturalism
In response to several letters criticizing
the cartoon by Jonah ER Loeb. I found the
cartoon spoke right to the heart of what
multiculturalism is about.
I spent s everal month s in the
Philippines, and I have two half-brothers
who are Filipino. While that does not qualify
me as an expert. it does give me enough first hand information about the ways of the people
m that area.
Yes, there are people in the Philippines
whose customs do not prohibit the eating of
dog meat. Conversely, our western customs
place such reverence on dogs that we have
them star in TV shows and depict them
performing some very suspect heroic deeds.
To call that degrading to Filipinos is to call
their culture below ours. Viva la difference.
That is my concept of multiculturalism.
The same idea could be used from a
Hindu point of view that showed several
garlands, the kind that are placed around the
necks of sacred cows, draped over the sides
o f the dumpster at a McDonald 's restaurant.
As long as the arti st is Hindu, I don ' t see
anything racist in that.
What I fOllnd more alarming than the
cartoon was the reaction printed last issue. In
their we ll-intentioned efforts to rid the world
of hatred and narrow-mindedness, they have
taken the easy route and mirrored what th ey
wanted to rout.
Wh ile we are here at Evergreen, we
have the opportunit y to become a laboratory
of ideas to bring multiculturali sm o ut of its
vag ue publi c concept. However, it is not
easy. It is a hard road to travel, but the road
makes you stro nger in the end .

Response

I have found that oppressed groups in
the past are more successful when they
recognize the energy used against them can
make them stronger if they don't just mirror
it back to their oppressor.
It is not just ideas that we need, but
challenging ideas. Otherwise, we risk
developing great theories within a vacuum
that are easily crushed when exposed to
reality.
Most sincerely,
David Virak

Cartoon's black
humor appreciated
In defense of black humorists/satirists
at this school (who seem to be a minority
group themselves), I'd like to admit that I
laughed when I saw Jonah ER Loeb's "Rin
Tin Tin in the Phil ippines" Snuggle. Oh no l
Does thi s mean I'm raci st because I' m not
Filipino? What if the caption read "Lassie in
South Korea. " I still would have laughed. Oh
dear. does this mean I harbor some kind of
internalized sel f-hating image of my Korean
heritage? No.
Most Asians don't eat dogs, but some
do, admit it. What' s unfair is that many white
Americans have attributed a major ste reotype
to all Asians becau se of a small minority .
What I found so funny about the cartoon
besides it~ black humor was the ironic use of
a cultural stereotype of Asians to devour a
pop cultural icon . The irony is that both the
stereotype and the icon are creations of white
America. Am I reading too much cleverness
into Jonah's cartoon? Am I seeing satiric
barbs that don ' t exist.
What if Jonah is racist? I would find
that sad, but not surprising. because racism is
a fact of life. But. the cartoon would still be
funny to me .
Yours truly.
Joomi Lee
P.S. The only criticism I have about the
cartoon is artistic. The line work could have
been better executed, for instance.

Desecration of
sign is lamented
Normally, Idon' t write letters toeditors.
I feel that most letters hit the circular file
before even being read. However,!' m writing
and hoping that this gets published, yet I
won't hold my breath.
I have to say that I am madder than a
wet hen. I am a survivor of many years of
abuse. Yet,. for me. it was a major act of
courage to write my story and put ribbons on
the "SurvivorTree." You see, I've known for
a long time that once a survivor exposes
herselflhimself, every abuser in a 25 mile
radius zooms in and wants to abuse. So, I
knew that I was opening myself to further
abuse. Invariably, it occurred, in the form of
filthy and abusive graffiti on the tree poster.
It made me so mad to know that out there
somewhere is an attacker who doesn't have
the courage to identify himself. Once again,
as victims try to stand up and scream " No!"
abuse is out there, faceless and insidious as it
was then.
I appl aud the courage e xhibited by
each victim who stood up with me and
screamed "No !" because if the ribbons and
the stories are any indication of the numbers
of students on campus who have been abused,
thi s is no small problem here at Evergreen.
Maybe some day all women and people
of color will be afforded the same degree of
res pect and freedom as white me n. Until that
time, consider me a freedom fi ghter.

I;omics Page editor explains policy
Recently, there have been concerns
regarding the CPJ Comics Page. As the
Comics Page Editor, I would like to clear
up a couple of things :
Anyone can submit 10 the Comics
Page. It is vital that those who wish to
submit their work follow the submissions
guideli nes. Please pick up guidelines at
the CPJ office.
Comics are printed on a first come,
. first serve basis with priority given to
Evergreen students.
Contenl. Comics that are libelous,
in violation of copyright, or gratuitously
pornographic/ violent will not be published.
However, I will not pull a comic because it

is found to be offensive by an individual
or group of people . I feel that the Comics
Page is a reflection of the Evergreen
community, and within our community,
disagreement is inevitable. What one
person finds humorous, another may not. .
I don't feel that as Comics Editor
and a member of the community. I have
the right to dictate standards for the entire
community.

Sexual harassment series necessary
I would like to thank Lara ShepardBlue for her series regarding sexual harassment. This issue is a poignant one in all
contexts, and needs as much exposure as is
possible.
I found the third article (CPJ 11/11/93
pg. 5) especially informative. After reading
this piece, I executed my "Right to Know" by
going to LIB 3103 and filling out a public
records request form . The process was simple
and non-bureaucratic. In response to my request, the public records office will get back
to me with the names of Evergreen faculty ,
currently employed, who have had sexual
harassment complaints filed against them .

I feel that this information is vital in
both empowerment and protection. I encourage everyone who is concerned about
sexual harassment, sex crimes, and/or student/faculty relations to request the records
of faculty members who have been accused
of sexual harassment : [n doing so, you will
be protecting yourself as well as showing
solidarity and support for the survivors of
the unfair and abusive practice we call sexual
harassment.
Thanks again. Lara, for your motiv ating

A bit of rambling on the notion of
objective·vs. subjective reality
Forum
by David Rovics
An Appeal to Human Kindness
Let me first di spel any notion that I'm
setting out to prove anything here. I just feel
the need to contribute what I hope will be
some thought-provolJng commentary on what
seems to be, during my month-long experience
with academia up to this point, a debate that
is raging among both facuIty and students.
I would frame the basic scope of the
debate as between those who are preoccupied
with the idea thai "everything.is in the eye of
the beholder," and those such as myself who
are under the impression that the earth exists ,
society exists and it's in a pretty sad state of
affairs , and anyone who has love and
compassion for humanity and the rest of life
on earth should logically be moved to do
something about the situation.
I shall now attempt to delve a little
deeper into the subject. First of all, every one
of us has our own background and see the
world through our own eyes, so clearly we
each have a different way of interpreting what
goes on around us; for example, the mother
experiences the death of her son differently
than the cop who shoots him, even though
they may both be in the same house at the
same time, with well-functioning eyes, ears,
etc. The young man's mother and the cop
who kills him may have had different
upbringings, and see reality through different
lenses.
Now, if an event happens and people

can agree on it having occurred, and are
interested in analyzing the data, they might
want to explore the way reality has been
perceived by the parties involved in this
situation, 10 lead them to such radically
different perceptions of the same event. Thi s,
[would argue, would be a sensible thing to
do. But why? Those who are interested
solely in the process of understanding
differences in the way people perceive reality
might be satisfied to continuously dissect
the underlying ideologies behind the
perceptions and actions of individuals. for
purely "academic" reasons . Others might be
satisfied to simpiy wonder whether anything
is truly observable. whether there is such a
thing as objective reality at all .
Others,like myself, are only interested
in understanding the forces and perceptions
behind such incidences to the extent that it is
necessary to be able to apply love and
compassion for humanity to the equation.
and take action to fight this (perceived)
injustice. 1 would deem it useful from a
(percei ved) moral standpoint to question the
motives (or lack thereot) of anyone who
spends more time questioning the validity of
reality than acting to change it.
The world is in pretty bad shape, I'm
sure the details are not necessary to go into.
So, my point is, perhaps anyone with love
and compassion in their hearts, anyone with
a desire to see a planet they'd care to raise
children in, would be wise to ask less "What
is?" than "What is to be done?"
David Rovics is cool.

A Nutty Proposal: two hours a week to improve Evergreen
by Benjamin ParzybOk
I know that I am about to suggest a
nutty and, quite possibly, obscene idea but I also know that the majority of you who
have heard/experienced amazing tall tales of
all night computer centers are a little sick of
the budget cuts. Plus, with another two percent
guillotine over our head .. . aye, shiver me
timbers , I can barely think about it.
OK, here comes the radical idea, but I
dare not lay it out to you without a teensy
weensy preface or I'm afraid some of you
may huff and puff and blow my house down ...
We, us, or, at least some of us, seem to
talk about community a lot. Some of us, some
god forbid, might even think that capitalism!
survival of the fittest type of governments/
societies are a bit on the uncooperative/
downright annoying side. We rant, and
occasionally rave, about intentional
communities, some of us have lived/will live/
live on communes and are kind of running a
cooperative type learning experience here in
ourlittIe corner of the world. Perhaps a few of
you will graduate and dedicate your lives to
non-profit organizations, work in the Peace

geniu5, a coordinating masterpiece.
Before you begin to worry, though, let
me impress you with some simple math. I'll
try not to exaggerate any figures. If the 3000
of us (with equivalent wages of$4.25Ihour)
put in two hours weekly (hardly any time at
all!) for, say, nine
weeks of the quarter,
three quarters a year,
we could generate an
equivalent
of
$688,500(!!!!).
(That's over two
thirds of a million!
That seems like kind
ofalotofrnoneythat
could, urn, be used to
support, uh, a couple
offaculty or hire another financial aid worker,
or, like, create more hours at the computer
center. I dare say .. . )
No doubt, though, some. of us are
slackers. We would probably complain
whole-heartedly about those two short hours
a week. Perhaps for those unfortunate few
slackers we could have an optional tuition

I propose we dedicate,
all of us, a few measly
hours to the
betterment of this
place.

hike. If they chose not to support the
community with involvement or effort, then
they'd pay. (Sounds mean, huh?) If you
worked two hours a week for nine weeks at
$4.25/ hour, it would equal $76.50 - I say
double the optional tuition hike. (Waivers
available for special cases?)
At any rate, think it over. I don't even
doubt that the Admissions Office could use it
as a marketing ploy (shiver) in the catalog. I
won' t even begin to mention the uplifting
community spirit that will emanate from
each and every student thereafter - much
less the sense of pride, accomplishment,
general euphoria and downright ecstasy I'll leave that to you to figure out.
I'll say this, though: this school is a
collective dream, and the dream is working
for me - but frugal taxpayers and sloth-like
government bureaucracy are slowly stealing
that dream ; they ' re juicing our orange. I say
we fight to keep it, in as many ways as we can
- and what I've just proposed would be a
damn good way to start!

American media has produced for us terrifying, real life TV
by Randy Carter
Andy Warhol predicted
that in the future, everyone
would have 15 minute s of
fame. American media toda y
is on the right course to bring
us just that. Th e re i s a
smorgasbord .o f programs out
today th at are not just based
on real life, they are real Ii fe.
No script needed here. No need
for actors either. The camera
records what happens and we
get to watch. Simple enough.
so why am I terrified?
Everything has a bias.
This article 's bias will reveal
itself quickly. The textbooks
we were weaned on in K- I 2
had a severe bias . (Sure
Columbu s
committed
genocide , but what a
navigator!) The problem is
when the bias is obscured and information is
taken as fact, reality, the whole picture ...
back to our programs.
Code 3, Rescue 911, America's Most
WallTed, Funniest Home Videos, etc. are all
examples of this genre of programming. A

Sure, murderers, rapists. etc. belong
b'ehind bars. To this end, I like these shows.
Violent crime deserves punishment. So be it,
but when America 's Most Wanted gives us a
mug shot, what are the implications? First,
this person becomes guilty until proven
innocent: A "dramatization" of a crime is
shown, followed by a mug-shot or sketch of
the alleged criminal. Then a plea is made for
our help. We do. The excitement this brings
a portion of America is frightening. Not only
is the citizen doing their part to catch a
"dramatized" criminal, they will get their 15
minutes offame on next week' s show telling
how they did it.
(Now is a good time to read Stephen

large number of these programs deal with
one topic - law enforcement. Americans
don't exactly love our law enforcement
agencies, and fear keeps many of us in line.
However, wouldn't it be great ifthat fear was
so strong that no one broke laws?

TilE SlACK 1I10EII
I.rUN/) Il£COIlO.r
by Sara Steffens
My
life just gets more
serendipitous every day .
Last week, a friend of mine (we'll
call him Paul), dropped off a copy of The
BlclCk Rider on my desk at the CPJ
office. What bliss! What fortuitous grace
in the winter of my discontent!
Th e Black Rider consists of music
Waits wrote for the play of the same
name, produced by Robert Wilson and
the Thalia Theatre of Hamburg. The play
was adapted by William Burroughs from
Thomas de Quincy's Der Freischutz. The
play and the music tell the dilemma of a
man who accepts the devil's magic
bulleLS.
William Burroughs also wrote the
lyrics to several songs and provides
vocals for "rain't No Sin."
Mmm hmm, you heard right. Waits
and Burroughs working together. The
result is gorgeous, if a bit advanced for
those weaned on, say, Nirvana or Hall
and Oates. (Like certain ... ahem .. . CPJ
staffers whose petulence I will not
chronicle here.)

In his introductory notes, Waits
describes the music as, "something like a
beautiful train wreck." The songs
gathered here arc a metallurgic swan's
chorus, a shattered glass, a dropped
wrench, a thousand crickets - ratchety
lurching, haunting, magical songs draped
around the ghost of a storyline. Music to
make your soul itch.
Some of you will catch a of whiff
of Nick Cave's contribution to Until the
End of the World on Waits's
"Crossroads." Both share an Olde West
theme overlayed with disturbing
narration.
My favorite, this week, is "I'll
ShoO! the Moon." This is a song I can,
and do, walk around humming tunelessly
for hours. ''I'll shoot the moon/ right out
of the sky/ for you baby/ ]'11 be the
pennies/ on your eyes/ for you baby ......
An old time ballad. Yum.
Running a close second on my
rew ind-that-one list is "November."
"November" is an elegy for summer
and a charm against the winter. An
excellent song to play repeatedly while
drinking Earl Grey, crumpled in a chair
writing hate mail to folks back home
who've earned it. "November/ it only
believes/ in a pile of dead leaves/ and a
moon the color of bone."
It won't be November anymore

when you read this, but your short term
memory can't be that damaged yet. And
you'll have three or four more rainy
months to reacquaint you with the
general concepL
I give The Black Rider, like all
Waits albums, my pithiest recommendation: I would have paid for it.

powerful; each selection delivered ·with
soulful gusto.
The two sets included standards,
some favorites of Langille's that weren't
standards and originals. All were
performed with intensity and deep
passion.
Not even the on-stage antics of her
tousle-headed daughter-tot (the amazing
Tempeste) stopped Langille from
completing her appointed musical rounds,
nor we the audience from enjoying
ourselves thoroughly. It is however,
difficult to really get into a song like
Jane Feather's "How Blue Can You Get"
with an adorable toddler lightly cavorting
about the stage.
Of particular note was Langille's
adaptation of Memphis Minnie's
signature tune "Use Your Good
judgement" dovetailed with Neil Young's
"Motorcycle Mama" (the latter piece
proving yct again that others always sing
Neil Young songs better than Young
himself). She also breathed vibrant new
life into both the Duke Ellington standard
"Don't GeL Around Much Anymore" and
Bobbie Gentry's '70s hit "Ode to Billie
Joc."
For this writer the high point was
an original piece, "Wednesday's Child," a
song morc to the jazzier side of blues,
but with just enough heartache to
resonate in the psyche long after the
melody faded from the ear.
All in all, the crowd at Cafe Verde
were just plain diggin' on Laurette
Langille - and it was more than clear that
she was diggin' on us.

Baraka offers postcard scenery but· fails to tell real story
Rcvicv.r
by Thomas Brierly
Baraka and it's bullshit. Yeah, I
know this review is late, but so is the
token respect for the earth and her
indigenous peoples.
This movie reminds me of postcards sent
from Hawaii with pictures of half-naked
cither half naked women, Waikiki, or
exotic nature scenes.
Waikiki is a tourist trap that people
come to in order to experience the
Hawaiian culture or just have a vacation,
hut they only percei.ve a pseudoe nvironment created by white
businessmen.
Baraka's "exotic" nature scenes are
jusl like the lions, tigers and bears in the
zoo. Hawaii has to set up parks to keep
native flora, fauna and animals alive.
This movie never tells you that
ever si nce Captain Cook arrived on the
islands, an invasion of foreign planLS and
animals have been competing against
native life and winning.
Most of the life that existed in
Hawaii during the pre-colonial times has
never existed any where else on earth.
This movie doesn't tell you that since
Captain Cook and his men arrived,
Hawaii has been struggling against many
diseases (venereal, smallpox and leprosy),
a capitalist economy and the Christian
God forced upon them.
The Hawaiians are landless, like
most of the earth's indigenous nations
pushed into desolate lands. Funny how
the capitalist men pushed nativcs on
"un usable lands" during the boom ' of
agribusiness, but now they want to rape
those same lands for the minerals that
were considered useless before.
Baraka doesn't tell you about the

destruction of an island sacred to the
Hawaiian culture that the U.S. military
and other nation-states have bombed for
Rimpac (Pacific Rim) Games.
The island of Kahoolawe is the
point directly aligned with Tahiti which
brought pre-Hawaiians to the islands, rich
with life, from the great expanse of the
largest ocean on earth. The U.S. Navy
told Hawaiians there was nothing on this
island, but they held the island sacred
because of iLS burial and ceremonial sites.

Hey, how about the nuclear bomb
testing on the islands of micronesia? You
remember the government films showing
an island somewhere in an ocean nice
and peaceful, then the explosion' of a
mushroom cloud.
Baraka doesn't tell you that the
people of Bikini Atoll were removed by
some underhanded "legal" procedures.
This island is useless to humans because
of the radiation which is destroying the
ccology. They have to live off
government subsidies, like ham in a can

to them.
B araka, what a tribute to the
people, so the viewers can experience the
"exotic" lands and "noble" cultures and
the reverence of Mother Nature with great
melodies. Bullshit!
It's like christening a national
forest with a John Deere bulldozer. Do
you really think that feeling sorry for
these people helps them? What I have
written about happens all around the
world, every day. Do you wonder how
you would ever learn this type of

Addams Family Values
Capital Mall Cinemas
Seldom do movies roll past our
eyes so visually packed that we wish to
encounter them again and again, The
Addams Family. inspired by the long
running .television series, and based on
the mind of Charles Addams, was such a
movie. The sequel, Addams Family '
Values under the direction of Schoenfeld
was also such a film.
Each frame, a masterfully crafted
piece of art, showed the brilliance of the
cinematography. Constant items of
interest pop up in the background. In the
cemetery, the house, even the restaurant
they frequent. The sets are so beautifully
detailed and perfect that I hope they were
not destroyed post-production. These
facets of the movie alone warrant a
second viewing.
Characters lit up the screen with
their dynamically morbid presence,

of Wednesday.
Wednesday embodied the essence
of all that is Addams, a quintessential
affinity towards death, and (without
sound negative) evil, Her sense of humor
flourishes under the pretense that she. is
by no means joking.
Raul Julia as a slick back blackhaired Gomez and the divine Angelica
Houston as Morticia make the perfect onscreen couple. It makes one want to fall
in love again. Their relationship is so
dynamic that it warms ,the heart to watch
them . Her face lit continuously with a
soft white spot and his persona
embodying all those qualities we would
term debonair, their chemistry is
impeccable.
Perhaps the only downfall with the
movie was the introduction of a new
character, Sally, played by Joan Cusack.
The family is perfect as they are, and her
mediocre portrayal of the money-grubbing
homicidal wife was perhaps unnecessary.
Othcr storylines could have played off
just as effectively.
Addams Family Values is a
wonderful film fit for any college student
(or faculty). The humor is indeed aimed
at the intelligent adult, to the point where
the typical movie-goer may not
comprehend all of it, much less enjoy it.
See it with a friend, lest you laugh alone.

Gone was the subtlety, gone were
the intelligent insights on our presentday society. Gone were the quality oneliners, the plot twists, and the villain you
love to hate. Gone from Robocop 3 was

To start things off, Peter Weller,
the original Robocop wasn't even in this

There must have been some debate
as to v/hether this movie should go
straight to video or not, . because that is
where its headed - with a bullet (poor
pun intended to reflect on the general sad
state of the movie). Two bucks combined

The Naa Kahidi Theater performed
a series of tales from Native Alaskan
Tlingit legend here on Wednesday. Nov.
17. The touring performance, titled "Fires
on the Water," combined storytelling and
singing with dance and beautiful
costuming. Put on as a part of the
Evergreen Expressions performing arts
series, the show sold out a half hour
before it was due to start. But it was
definitely worth the wait.
The performance consisted of
seven storics gathered from various
so urces, and individually adapted by
members of the company. It began with
The Box of Daylight, one of the best
known stories of the Northern tribes,
which tells of the beginning of day and·
night and the sky.
White Raven and Water was in the
same vein, telling of how water came to
be, this one also explains how the Raven
became black. Another "How it came to
bc" story is How the Crane Got Blue
Eyes, which also cautions the listener in
the "Boy who cried wolf' motif.
Raven Tries to Seduce a Woman
could be regarded as a cautionary tale as
well, but it is also an example of Raven
erotica that was once more widely known
throughout the Northwest. This tale also
made use shadow images and ornate
puppets. Carayak was a Yup'ik tragedy,
originally adapted as a part of an oral
history project at the University of
Alaska.
Another good example of oral
histor), presented by the troupe was The

the first Russian explorers on July 3,
1788.
The last story, The Spirit Came to
All Things, was not adapted by the
performers but told instead in the words
of Tradition-bearer Austin Hammond,
who told the story to the Naa Kahidi
Theater last summer, shortly before he
died. This story is an important one as a
root metaphor for the Native American
belief in the sanctity pf ail things, that
everything has a spirit.

disability dialogue, from page 3
I have a disability, but this
doesn't mean I'm not able. Once this is
recogllized - and I mean fully recognized
- then it follows that when society, that
. is a person, limits another by whatever
means. This amounts to denying a
person's basic human rights.
We have to see the other as being
human and all else follows. So I guess
what it amounts to is a degree of selfcriticism, exposing where we deny the
humanity of the other. Out of this
altilude real dialogue can occur.
MH: What do you see in people
when they approach you?
C H: I see people confronting
!.heir fears.
I mean, think about it. If you're
w~ile, you're not going to tum black.
But something can sure happen to you.
You could end up like me, if you're
lucky.
In this materialistic society, it.
seems like people think in terms of what
you don't have instead what you are.
People think of themselves that way.
They get Jonsed. And if you do that to
yourself, think of what you do to others
without even realizing it. You've limited
them, and in doing so,limited yourself.
MH: So, you're not seen as a
whole person?
CH: Yes. People see you as a
thing.
.
That's a part of the phenomenon of
labeling, the mechanics of exclusion. If
I'm not seen as a whole person, it's easy
to justify my not having or not being
allowed the same things a "whole person"
takes for granted.
Take sexuality, for instance. If
you're a person with a disability, society
really doesn't see you as a sexual being.
In a way, it's a double-bind. You could
be sexy as hell, as you know, there are
10,000 different ways to "do it," but, if
no one else sees you as a sexual being, it
becomes hard to see yourself as such.
M H : Do you think we can get
beyond these preconceptions and
stereotypes of each other and ourselves as
oppressed groups?
·CH: Yes. We have to stop placing
