THE EVERGREEN STATE COLLEGE
Making sense of 601/602
• No one has a clear
idea what effect these
initiatives would have.
by Matt Reeves
In trying to make some kind of
sense out of the debate over Initiatives
601 and 602, or even the Initiatives
themselves, one is confronted with a
mountain of non-information. Or more
accurately, an information void.
What a voter needs to make
enlightened decisions are accurate, stable
projections of what will happen if 1-601
or 1-602 pass. Although opponents of
these initiatives can make educated
guesses at how 1-601 and 1-602 will affect
the state, this information does not exist.
Proponents of the Initiatives don't
seem to care how the state will be affected.
1-601
would
lim it state
expenditures by increasing the budget
only by a factor derived from yearly
inflation rates and state population.
Supposedly, then, the state budget could
never get bigger than what the state
"needs." Effective immediately, all taxhikes would have to,be voter-approved.
According to opponents, the
problem with 1-601 is that it places an
"artificial formula" on the budget that
"has no relationship to the actual needs of
our citizens." The "statement against" in
the voter's pamphlet gives the example
that the "needs of those younger than 21
or older than 65 don't increase according
to an arbitrary formula." In other words,
the "needs" of certain citizen groups, like
minors and seniors, don't necessarily
increase or decrease proportionately to the
population.
Its proponents do not make clear
what "needs" will be fulfilled under 1·601.
1-602 is different. 1-602 would
repeal all taxes enacted by the '93
legislature, but allow them to be
reimposed later only with a
"supermajority" vote (60 percent) in the
House and the Senate.
It is argued that the supermajority
voting clause would make it easy for only
a few senators and corresponding special
interest groups to block new tax
legislation.
Although 1-602 would cut tuition
rates at TESC, as has been reported in the
CP 1, 1-602 could have a monumental
adverse impact on Evergreen's budget and
facilities. Again, Jervis projects that there
would be no way of knowing what these
budget cutbacks would be until after 1-602
passes.
Opponents of i-602 insist that
most of the four percent statewide budget
cutback called for in 1-602 would come
from social programs, but, as before, there
is no way of knowing beforehand where
the cuts will come from.
A pro-I-602 commercial depicts
average citizens giving ad-hoc
endorsements of the initiative, one man
saying something like, "My company cut
back 10 percent. We could find the waste.
Why can't the state?" In answer, the pro-I-

On a beautiful October afternoon
with a clear blue sky and bright leaves
marking the campus, a day that makes '
you think the whole world is perfect, I
walked to the Library. In front of the
building was a young tree with purple
ribbons tied on its branches. The sign on
the table in front of it read,
"Victim/Survivor Tree." The ribbons had
been tied on the tree by people who had
been sexually assaulted or harassed or
people who knew someone who had been
assaulted.
I picked up my own ribbon and
looked for an appropriate spot to tie it on
the young tree. As I touched the tree I felt
its power. I began to tie a knot and then a
bow, and I wished that I had a whole roll
of ribbon to tie my pain into the tree and
be free of il.
This week our campus remembers
the stories behind all the ribbons on that
very small tree. More importantly,
though, we look ahead to educate
ourselves and each other about how to
prevent more of these stories.
Community Awareness Week
provides an opportunity for everyone in
our community to learn about sexual
assault and harassment, to learn where
they can turn if they are a victim or
survivor, and how to prevent more
violations.
At the opening ceremony on
Monday morning, a number of people
spoke about the need for our community
to be aware of problems of sexual assault
and harassment

Tear gas vendor's assault video
prompts complaints and questions
by Seth "Skippy" Long
Last Tuesday and Wednesday, Stan
Hardaway, an independent retailer, sold
tear gas from a table in the CAB.
He chose this week because it's
Community Awareness Week, a time for
the campus to think and learn about sexual
assault. Hardaway knew women were
thinking about rape.
In addition to .displaying little
pouches of tear gas, Hardaway showed a
video at his table.
The video showed, again and again,
women
being sexually assaulted,
struggling .a nd moaning. The last take of
every scene was the woman spraying her
assailant with tear gas.
"I'll never know how many people
I've saved in my life," said Hardaway.
"He was exploiting women's fears to
make a buck," said Deanna Brown, cocoordinator of the Women's Center. 'ihe
video was very graphic and portrayed
women as helpless and unable to defend
them self in any way except with a can of
Mace. I would like to stress .. . that Mace

Two more exposures reported
by Rebecca Randall
Two incidents of indecent exposure
have been reported on the Evergreen
campus, more specifically on and near the
Organic Farm Trail in the past week, last
Friday and Tuesday.
Larry Savage, Public Safety
sergeant, is looking for the same suspect
in both cases. Savage is working in
- cooperation with Thurston County
Sheriff's Department to see if the
suspect's description matches the
description of a registered sex offender
living in this area.
On Friday, a woman reported that a
man had exposed himself to her near the
entrance of the Organic Farm Trail. Officer
Tammi Stretch and Sergeant Darwin Eddy
responded immediately to the report,
searching the trail and surrounding area
but were unable to locate the individual.

our Housing Contract, there are three ways
to terminate your housing contract The
first way is to transfer your contract. This
means sell your contract to someone else.
However,
Housing is currently
underoccupied. This means you would
have to be very lucky indeed to get
someone to buy your contract.
The second way to get out of your
contract is to go on a leave of absence,

After attending a national
conference on campus sexual assault, Vice
President for Student Affairs Art ··
Costantino returned satisfied with
Evergreen's sexual assault policies.
Costantino and two students
attended the conference the week of
October 7-9 in Nashville, Tennessee.
Costantino said the conference left
him with the impression that Evergreen's
sexual assault policies are "a little bit
above average."
The current sexual assault policy
and procedures were published last
August. The policy states that, "Sexual
assault can include any form of actual or
attempted sexual activity perpetrated on a
person without that person's consent.
This includes both sexual behavior coerced
through threats, force or other fonus of
manipulation and sexual behavior when
one person cannot give consent."
The policy and procedures guide
also includes the Washington state
criminal code's definition of rape, and
explains that students may press formal
criminal charges, file charges through the
campus grievance system, or do both.
An Evergreen student found guilty

Nina Fischer, one of two Rape
Response Coalition members who
attended the conference, feels that the
protocol and policies now in place at
Evergreen are adequate. However, Fisher
does not believe that the policies will be
cohesively followed.
Costantino agreed; "The policies
we do have in place are satisfactory ... It's
[now a matter of] improving what we
have, of stating the proper policies and
making sure they're followed."
Fischer was disappointed that the
conference was not inclusive of people of
color or same-sex rape.
students who work to educate the
Evergreen community about sexual
assault and support and advocacy for
survivors of sexual assault
The Rape Response Team
(formerly Rape Response Protocol
Committee) is a group of staff, students
and faculty formed last year. The Team
provides educational resources about rape
for staff and faculty and one-on-one
advocacy for survivors.
. Members of both groups have been
. trained as advocates by Safeplace and the
Thurston County Prosecutor's Office.
Evergreen staff members trained as
advocates are referred to as rape response
staff.
An advocate provides personal and
informational support to a survivor,
whether or not slhe chooses to file a
college grievance or press criminal
charges.
If a survivor chooses to follow
either process, or both, an advocate is
available to accompany the survivor
through the system and remind her/him of
the options that are involved.

Vehicle stolen from
Library basement
by Kristie Copp
Public Safety has no suspects in
the attempted obduction of the custodial
Cushman vehicle.
A Cushman vehicle is an electrical
vehicle that looks somewhat like a golf
cart. The vehicle has been used for 8 to
ten years in various custodial jobs all
around campus.
Yuki Chan.cellor, custodial
manager, said that there has never been a
problem with security in the Library
basement. Because of this incident, she
says she has lost her trust in people on
campus.
Officers Sabine Riggins and Lana
Brewster came across the vehicle about
9:30 p.m., OCL 16, sitting in McCann
Plaza near the Parkway.
Riggins said that the vehicle must
have been stolen between 8 and 9:30
p.m., because the vehicle was not in that
location when she arrived on campus.
Minimal damage was found on the
vehicle. One door was taken off and the
other had some tears in its inside pockets.
The keys were not found in or around the
vehicle, Brewster said:' With the keys
missing, it looked as if who ever took the
vehicle was going to return for it, said
Riggins.
Riggins said that the vehicle was
towed by Custodial Services back to its
cage in the basement.
The cage, which was pried open to
get the vehicle, has now been reinforced
with additional chains, and repairs are
being made on the vehicle.

OTFs continue in second round of provost search
by Andrew Lyons
Hundreds of people have applied to
be Ever~n's provost, and applications
continue to trickle in.
Legislative Liaison and member of
the Provost Search Disappearing Task
Force (DTF) Jennifer Jaech said the
number of applications for the position is
probably a little higher than 150.
The Search DTF placed ads in
several publications and sought
nominations over the summer. Members
started sorting through the wave of
applications this month.
The provost is responsible for
representing facuIty interests to the
president.
The provost also hires faculty,
makes policy relating to the faculty and
makes decisions about the library. The
provost approves all formally planned
curriculum .
"The provost is the chief academic
officer of the college," said Jaech. "Which
means that they are the second highest
ranking administrator."
The provost works with academic
officers from other state colleges,
universities and the Higher Education
Coordinating Board. The provost helps
represent the college to the state governor
and legislature.
"We need someone who
understands the alternative approach of
Evergreen," said Jaech, "Someone who is
committed to that approach."

Anyone could get confused at
Evergreen. Look at all the "weirdos"!
Red hair, green hair, talloo, freak:, normal
person (well. .. ), nose ring. lip ring,
hippie, punker, stoned, sober, gay,
straight, paradox! Where in hell did they
come from? Let's examine the freshman
class in search of a common rool.
According to preliminary statistics
compiled by Steve Hunter, Director of
Research and Planning, the entering
freshman class of 1993-94 consists of 445
daring minds. "We'll add 30 or 40
students to the total enrollment in the
next week or so, but it won't change
much," said Hunter.
These froshies split into 281 residents
and 164 out-of-staters. Three hundred and
forty-eight of them c.a mc straight from
high school to have their regimented,
controlled minds fr.eed to free-think . This
makes the average age "somewhere around
18 or 19," according to Steve Hunter.
All those of the male gender, please
applaud. There are only 188 of you,
compared to 257 women in the freshman
class.
The number of slUdents of color
continues to increase. Sixty-six of the
445 freshmen are students of color,
composing 14.8 percent of the class .
This percentage is composed of 27
Asians, 18 Hispanic s , 12 Native
Americans and nine African-Americans.
Evergreen remains committed to
increasing diversity and multiculturalism.

position of interim provost. Lidman took
over the job when Patrick Hill, the
previous provost, retired in June, 1990.
The year of Hill's departure, a
Provost Search DTF was formed and had a
couple meetings over the summer. But in
September of that same year, President
Joe Olander was resigned.
"It didn't make a lot of sense to
hire a provost if we didn't have a president
in place to be looking for a provost," said
Jaech.
Since the choice of provost
depends on criteria set by the college
president, administrators decided to look
for a new president first. This took 18
months.
After President Jane Jervis was
chosen, it took her some time to decide
what she needed in a provost.

Computer viruses are actually

users knowledge. Most viruses are
designed to perform harmless functions
like l1ash a message on your screen or
change the system's time and date. Some
viruses are specifically designed to disable
your computer.

lock-ups; where the computer simply
stops accepting input from the keyboard.
Problems were first spotted Sunday
evening by consultant Vanessa Henry, on
a computer in the second row of the
Academic Computing Classroom (ACC).
At the time of discovery she was unaware
that it was a virus attack. "[The computer)
hung before it loaded MS-DOS," she said,
"so I placed an out of order sign on it."
Computer Center staff member
Mike Simmons diagnosed the problem as
the FORM virus late Monday afternoon,
using SCAN, a virus detection program.
SCAN is installed on all of the AT&T
computers in the computer center.
FORM is a boot-sector virus
which affects that part of a disk used at
start-up. FORM can install itself on both
affairs, the provost and the appropriate
faculty members. From then on, the Vice
President for Student Affairs, Art
Costantino, acts as your advisor, and the
provost acts as advisor to your facility.
·Step 2: Costantino helps you
determine if your complaint is with the
academic judgement of the faculty member
or an actual complaint of bias, unfairness,
inaccuracy or unequal treatment. If it is
the latter, Costantino helps you write up a
formal complaint to be sent to the
President's Office requesting a formal
hearing. The minimum complaint
includes:
·The date that you became aware
of the contested material within the
evaluation or record.
·A brief description of your
attempts to resolve your problem(s) about
the record.
·A detailed description of the
issues raised by the complaint, such as:
records of meetings with the faculty
member, any written documents

If everything is on schedule, the
DTF will present Jervis with a report and
list of three to five possible
recommendations for the position by the
end of January. Jervis will decide who will
become provost.
"The president will have time to
think about it and will probably., name
.
someone in February," said Jaech.
Jaech said that this fits the
academic year because the person selected
will probably need three or four months to
wrap things up where they are. "And if
all goes according to plan, we'll have a

may, to say that young ones may be
frightened by this scream spectacular. Oh,
it's not as spooky as I make it out 10 be,
but this reminder is to keep us all aware
how nightmares begin in a young
person's mind. In any event I hope that
you tough ones can make it to 815
Eastlake Ave E. in Seattle. It may not be
worth the entire drive to the big city, but
if you happen to be in this neck, of the
woods, it's really where it's at.
There is also an underwater
pumpkin <:arving wotkshop (821-7200 for
more info) and I'm eXpeCting to hear good
things from the Greener who attends.
As for myself, Halloween will be
the night I run off with the witches. Until
next time, I'm off to the patches to pick a
pumpkin, ready to become an excessive
Bit-O-Honey junkie, and set to cast a
spell on the CPJ staff.
Lisa Thomas is in Seallie foraging
for Bit-O-Honeys and candy corns as we
quite as well as this. T;e dizzying pace
and motion are flawless and the characters
are grotesque and ghoulish,
From a doo-wop trio of vampires,
wart-nosed witches and goblins, lock,
stock and barrel the young rascals and to
the two-faced mayor of Halloweentown to
the truly Bunon-esque lack Skellington,
who yells out (sounding every bit like
Jim Morrison), "I am the Pumpkin
King!" all of the characters are both
frightening and huggable at the same
time.
I must admit to a hint of PCness
in the area of characters, though. I actually
cringed when I saw and heard Oogy Boogy
the Boogyman. His voice is obviously
that of an African-American and when you
couple that with the dice-rolling, freewheeling betting creature that 00 g Y
Boogy is and the film stereotype of the
gambling black man; well, it's enough to
make any RSLS survivor cringe.
Danny Elfman's music is
wonderful. His mastery of mood and scene
is well known in the movie biz.
According to an interview I saw with him,
Bunon couldn't get permission to do the
film without a complete musical score.
But before Elfman would let Burton hear
each piece, he would play it for his five
year-old daughter. If she was still singing
it a week later then he would send it to
Burton.
I find this interesting because while
the music was beautiful and haunting (had
to be said), it was nothing like the music
from Aladdin or The Lillie Mermaid.
Maybe his daughter and I just have
different tastes in music.
In the end, Nightmare Before
Chrislmas is a great movie to watch and
listen to. It stimulates the senses like no
other movie has done in years. If you
don't give a rip about plot-line and story
development, then go see this movie; you
will love every minute. If the stOI:y is
important to your overall film experience,
think twice about it.

Each night the doors are open from 7 to

(besides the fact that it's just the right

Tim Burton, the master of funky,
freaky visuals, has done it again. Yes kids,
the man who brought us Edward
Scissorhands , both Batman's and
Frankenweenie (to name but a few) now
bring s us Th e Nightmare Before
Christmas, yet another in his long line of
visually and sonically brilliant but
plotless films.
Let's face it, Tim Burton can't
write a plot 10 save his life and this latest
effon proves it. The story has more holes
in it than the Davidian compound in
Waco. What Burton really, desperately
needs is somebody to sit next 10 him and
say, "Nope. Sorry, Tim; bad idea."
How can studio executives
honestly watch this film and think that
it's ready for release? The only plausible
explanation is that they ignored the plot
based on past experiences with Burton's
work.
But (and this is a BIG but), BurlOn
is the undeniable master of fantastic
imagery. Nightmare is. without question,
his most technologically advanced and
imaginative piece to date.
The animation is superb. His
modelers and technical folk should all be
rewarded.
While stop-motion animation has
been done in the past (Frosty the
Snowman, Rudolph the Red-nosed
Reindeer and Rudolph's Shiny New-Year),
no film that I have ever seen pulls it off
THE PERFECT NIGHTMARE
ReVIEW
by . Bryan Theiss
Many years ago, Tim Burton was
an unhappy animator at Disney studios.
Tired of drawing and redrawing other
peoples characters, and not knowing
whether it was worth spending a year and
a half of his life working on a movie like
The Fox and the Hound he begged Disney
to let him shoot a low budget live action
shon.
Miraculously, they funded the 30
minute, black and white film
Frankenweenie, a wonderful Frankenstein
tribute which brought him critical
acclaim and the attention of one Paul
Reubens, who hired him to direct Pee
Wee's Big Adventure . Next came
Beetlejuice (which spawned an animated
TV series) and then Batman (Burton's
most famous film and the one which he
had the least creative control over). Burton
followed Batman with the brilliant fairy
tale Edward Scssorhands and more
recently, Batman Returns.
Now , after all five of his live
action canoons have earned big box office
dollars as well as considerable critical
acclaim, Burton brings us his most
ground breaking work yet: Nightmare
Before Christmas.
It was back at the Disney
animation studios that he conceived this
most unusual fable. Of course, no one
cared at the time. ,Now, in the most
delicious irony, Disney has released the
film, advertising it as Tim Burton' s
Nightmare Before Christmas.
This is the story of Jack
Skellington, the talented skeleton who
leads the ghouls and monsters of
Halloweentown, bringing their holiday to
the world each Oct. 31.
Tired of being the best at the same
old thing, and having accidentally
discovered the existence of Santa Claus in
a place called Christmas IOwn, Jack decides
to take over a holiday that interests him
more.
I don't think I've ever seen a film
thi s imaginative and excltmg .
Halloweentown is an endless world of
macabrely beautiful cemeteries, inhabited
by brilliantly designed creatures of all
shapes and sizes. Vampires, mummies,
melting zombies, there is even a (literally)
two-faced politician among these
monsters . Characters like the mad
scientist Dr. Finkelstein and his living rag
doll Sally will not soon be forgotten.
Perhaps the most fascinating thing
about the citizens of Halloweentown (if
not the way they look) is their utter
naivety and innocence. Sure, they suck
blood, play with bones, poison each other
and take over other people's holidays, but
they don't know any better.
HeIiry Sellick's magnificent stopmotion animation is absolutely
unprecedented. This is far from the
awkward TV Christmas specials of the
past; the cameras move, the characters
have shadows, there's even fire. More
imponantly, most of the characters aren't
cute.
Of course, it wouldn't be a Tim
Burton film without a Danny Elfman
score. This time, Elfman wrote lyrics to
the wonderful musical Sequences and even
provides the singing voice for lack. The
lyrics are clever and the ghoulish vocals
would probably make the soundtrack
album great seasonal music for both
Halloween and Christmas.
Nightmare Before Christmas is a
visual masterpiece, a brilliant fantasy and
a wond~rfully twisted fairy tale. It reyels
in the bizarre, guaranteeiflg it a large
following. That's what movies need more
of these days: imagination. Let's hope the
industry takes notice.
Bryan Theiss. is a reappearing
writer for the CPJ who revels in the
bizarre a little himself.

A somewhat older, somewhat more

right now , wondering what the hell
happened to all these people. There 's a
questionnaire, paid for by your tax and
tuition dollars, sitting in a file cabinet in
the Student Activities offices, coHecting
dust along with the documents from the
countless other attempts to get student
governance at Evergreen. Why?
I don ' t exactly know the answer to
that, although I have my suspicions. I
can ' t say it's " the Administration's fault,"
since they helped us out with money and
resources. It's not the respondents; they
(over a hundred of them) answered the
questions and mailed it back. No folks,
the fault is mine and yours (assuming you
are a student at Evergreen).

In my case, I simply don't have the
time to do all the work necessary for
putting together a student government, or
even taking the lead in doing it. I tried
helping out the committee we had last
year; I think I made a net positive
contribution.
Unfortunately, the committee
seemed to get caught up in process,
dealing more with minutes, agendas,
goals, minutiae, while ignoring the fact
that less and less people were showing up.
It 's my fault too; I should have been out
there recruiting too. Though no one
person can do everything alone, I might
have done more.
But then again, I think about the
publicity and outreach we did do, letters to
the CPf, flyers and the like.

All work-study awarded - where are the employees?
Analysis .
by Paul Marcontell
The sign advertising for students to
apply for Media Loan work-study jobs is
still up, along with several other offices
that continue to advertise for work-study
applicants.
This seems curious, considering
that nearly all of the available work-study
funds nave .been given out for the year.
. According to Alley Hinkle, head of
instructional media, a larger than usual
number of work-study positions remain
unfilled in Media Loan, which depends on
this kind of help.
Media Loan is not the only place
wondering where all the work-study
THE

recipients are.
Recycling Coordinator Greg
Wright says that no one with work-study
credits has applied to his office. This is
despite the notice he posted on the job
board (next to Financial Aid) before
school began. The sea of job cards still
left on this board reveals a surplus of
federal and state work-study jobs open.
IniLially, some people believed that
the Financial Aid Office was holding back
work-study funding because of some sort
of delay. But Georgette Chun, director of
financial aid, said that most of the workstudy funds have already been awarded.
Is there less work-study money
available this year? Chun says the college
was allocated $578,000 in federal and state
work-study money this year, taking
matching funds into account, this adds up
to $900,000 available to be awarded. Last
year, the allocation was exactly the same.
According to Chun, people may be
confused because the federal government
recently made its eligibility requirements
for work-study less strict
Because of the new requirements,
the Financial Aid Office anticipated more
applicants than usual and gave priority to
students who demonstrated the greatest
need (those who received the least money
from home).
Financial Aid encouraged other
students to reapply for the remaining
funds. Those who reapplied were
considered in the order that their
applications were received. This _process
seems to have resulted in fewer students
who had work-study last year getting any
this year.
Because so few students who were
on work-study last year are receiving it
this year, employers are faced with a pool
of inexperienced students who require
training.
Though on-the-job training may
seem compatible with the idea of workstudy, it presents an added strain for on-
campus employers who have to add
constant training to their other duties
before they can effectively use work-study
help.
It seems unusual that employers
have trouble filling their on-campus workstudy jobs, considering their supposed
desirability and the speed with which the
institutional (non-work-study) versions of
the same jobs fill up.
The Financial Aid Office considers
it desirable to have a greater number of
work-study jobs than work-study
recipients, to give students more choice in
picking jobs.
Chun said the Financial Aid Office
periodically reviews the work-study
program and redistributes any credits that
aren't being used.
As long as a student has already
applied for fmancial aid, s,lhe can apply for
work-study.

un-PC, but all they are doing differently is
subscribing to a different code of morality.
When we begin accepting codes of
morality from other people without
ex-amining them, we lobotomize
ourselves. Suddenly judgement surrounds
us. There is no choice but to participate
or be overcome.
Nowhere is this more evident than
at Evergreen. Political correctness is more
than just an idea here, it is a force. (No,
not a farce!)
When I walk onto the campus I can
feel it like a blanket covering my head. I
understand the importance of not offending
others, but how can we be expected to
objectively analyze our own viewpoints if
we are constantly hindered and
manipulated by prudishness?
If this is an institution of higher
learning, people need to be free to express
ideas about whatever they feel important.
Objects of political correctness usually
border on respecting and paying attention
to the weird and bizarre.
Again , this becomes obviously
appealing to Greeners who have a wide
range of minority preferences. (Wonder no
more, young carnivores, why we're called
Greeners.)
Whether it be seminar time or
polite chatter, people hold their tongues
and brains in check when it comes to
making statements of any meaning. This
is not healthy. Political correctness has
gone too far.
I have an Oly friend who is beyond
college by a few years but still drops by
Evergreen occasionally. He describes the
school as "everybody being different in the
same way."
Is this where TESC is going? For
years, the people at Evergreen have been
the freaks of the world - students and
faculty challenging ~e social order and
taking new ideas to the edge.
Shouldn't it be tile Greeners that
reject this oppressing concept of
exacerbating political correctness to its
limits?
Give free thought a chance; stop
using political correctness as a basis for
judgement.

Harassment hurts
women and men
To Lara Shepard-Blue:
Thank you for writing the series of
articles on sexual harassment; it is an
important subject about which we all need
to educate ourselves.
Unfortunately, I feel you have
given a particularly narrow view of sexual
harassment. It is important to remember
that women are not the only victims of
sexual harassment, nor are men the only
harassers. Stating that your list of
suggested responses "have been used
effectively by many women," implies
either that women are the only ones who
need to use them (being the only victims),
or that these responses are used effectively
only by women and that men should look
for other methods not listed.
Then you suggest that the harasser
"is simply unaware that his [m y
emphasis] words are offensive." This
suggests that a harasser is always male. I
always advocate the use of gender-neutral
terms unless specifically talking about
one gender or the other. This is especially
important when discussing issues where
gender roles are already ingrained.
I'm sure you agree that sexual
harassment can come in many forms, with
a person of either gender in either role

of SSI, SSD and GAU which provide the

total, which is still below the poverty rate
for one person.
It is very hard to rent an apartment
for that small amount and most landlords
do not trust the mentally ill. They think
we are all cannibals and ax murderers just
waiting to happen. Most employers still
refuse to hire anyone with a history of
mental illness because their business
medical insurance rates will go sky high
and "that wouldn't be fair to their other
employees." Also, when a nonnallooking
"loony" starts talking to their voices or
really getting stressed out, co-workers find
some way to get rid of the "crazy" because
they are frightened to death of them.
The rash of "fired worker shoots
former postal employees and boss" articles
comes to mind. Most mentally ill people
keep their illness to themselves because it
is hard to make and keep relationships. It
is one thing to be called a cool and crazy
guy or gal. It is quite another thing to
have people find out that you really are
"crazy." Then watch your friends,
relatives, and loved ones run for the hills.
Anyway, if you're still interested
in getting a government "nut check," I'll
be glad to talk with you, though most
people find that you lose a lot more than
you gain when you get it.
Prophet Sky Atlantis
Rose apologizes to
Media Services
I'M SORRYl
Some of you may recall an article I
wrote on how to deal with certain areas of
The Evergreen State College which I have
utilized over and over for the past four
years. Severnl staff members have pointed
out quite accurately I might add, that I
failed to clarify exactly who I was
speaking about in my article. This has not
only led to their being offended but to my
misleading, however unintentionally, all
new students about the functions of Media
Loan and Media Services.
MEDIA SERVICES
In my article I declared media
services didn't know or care about it's
equipment or the people who used it. But
what I didn't say was while this for the
most part applies to the student staff it
never applies to the full time staff,
namely Alley Hinkle, Lin Crowley and
Ken Wilhellm (if I've forgotten anyone
please forgive me).
Much of the staff in Media
Services (and Media Loan) have been hired
not for their experience, but for their work
study. As a result there are employees
there who do know how the equipment
works.
It is at these times when the full
time staff becomes so indispensable. They
know the equipme~t like the back of their
hands and can often diagnose a problem
just hearing you describe it. They are also
more than willing to help with your
project. Tell them what you re doing and
they can recommend equipment, suggest
ideas etc. I have seen Alley open the MPC
after hours and on weekends to help
students. Ken Wilhelm has given me his
home phone number to make sure I was
able to get in touch with him.
MEDIA LOAN
Much like media services, the full
time staff at media loan are LOp notch. Say
you are doing a project in Super 8 film
and you only became proficient in it last
week. Go to Wyatt or Catherine and ask
them what they think you'll need. They'll
be more than willing to help you and their
advice can be essential. Often general
check-out employees will forget vital
equipment (the most common being
checking out VCR's and monitors
without including any patch cords) you
can always run your list by Catherine or
Wyatt who will notice what's missing.
Notice the time they mentioned (as I was
walking out the door) that a Super Eight
Camera needs four AA batteries. If they
hadn't thought to mention this I would
have driven all the way out to Ocean
Shores only to accomplish nothing.
The 16mmlAudio staff is also very
competent and I urge you to utilize them.
There is however one staff member who is
woefully incompetent, looks, acts and
thinks like Jeff Spicoli [Sean Penn's
character in Fast Times at Ridgerrwnt

the recital hall when you need the one to

person wait for Catherine or Wyatt or
another 16mm/Audio employee. Aside
from this person every other employee is

Modland a nice place to visit, but not to live
by Krisna Meneice
So ... for some strange reason you
decided to live in those wonderfully funkygreen-colored houses more commonly
called the mods. Maybe you figured
. modular housing had LO De better than an
aparunent because you were thinking,
"Well, the rents higher than the other 4person apartments. That must mean
they're better. Right?" WRONG!!! Or
were you so drunk at the time you looked
at the mods that even the dumpster looked
like a nifty place to live? Of course,
maybe you're just a primitive type person
who thinks electric power is evil. But
then again maybe hou~ing made you
move out of your four-person apartment
into the mods like they did me. (So what
if only two people were living in our four
person apartment: we had enQugh stuff for
four people!)
Anyhow, you made the choice to
move into the mods (or the choice was
made for you.) Now you have to live with
it (literally). Heres a "Do"s and "Don'ts"
list to help make your stay enjoyable
(well, okay, semi-tolerable):
"Dos" and "Don'ts" for living in
the Mods:
1) Don't!!!
2) Do be aware that everybody is
going to be drunk, constantly. It is my
theory that everyone was dry, until they
moved out there and the constant fear of
living in such a strange place stressed
them out, forcing them to drink gallons
upon gallons of beer at a sitting.
3) Do buy a battery operated alarm
clock: the power goes out about every
other night there.
4) Don't tweak out when your
smoke alarm goes off at four in the
morning and your bedroom light won't go
on: the alarm you're hearing is the nopower-alarm. Housing put these alarms in
to inform you that you can't use the
power you weren't planning on using
anyway. Power failures are as common as
keg parties in the mods.
5) Do inform housing in the event
that these alarms go off.
6) Don't panic if your smoke
alann goes off; these go off routinely in
the mods.
7) Do panic if your smoke alarm
goes off - it's always better to be safe
than sorry.
'.
8) Don't worry about street lights
shining in your face when your trying to
sleep . The power's out remember? (You
probably don't sleep anyway if you live in
the mods.)
9) Do purchase an opera tape to
play at high-volume in case you are
awakened by your drunk roommates at
two in the morning.
10) Do consider that a threat if
you're my roommate.

Our campus is divided; now is the time to form alliances
by Jennifer Fiore
Our campus is divided. We are a
maze of special interest groups which do
not communicate or support each other
often enough.
We need an alliance, a space for us
to talk to each other and learn about each
other. We must work together to fight
oppression of all people and we must
begin now.
As students, we're lucky when our
interests are common enough that a
student group exists to serve them. In that
case, we join the group, fight our cause,
and maybe become self serving. I mean
"self serving" in the sense that we find an
interest to work towards and forget about
the others. Many of us become so
engrossed in a cause that we close our
minds and fail to listen to each other. I'm
afraid that this is happening right now.
I can't pretend that I am any
different. I am just as self serving as other
people on this campus. By birthright, my
interests lie in promoting equality and
social justice for women. That is, biology
has spoken, and I can't escape the daily
oppression and subordination that women
worldwide struggle through.
But I am also a young, white, ·
straight, woman born into a middle class
family. Does this mean that I can close
my eyes and ears to the struggles of
women of color and lesbians, or pretend
that class issues aren't a part of the larger
fight against prejudice and discrimination?
Am I allowed LO forget, because I grew up
in the Southeast, that before the clash
between black and white, before the white
settlers, there were other people there,
people whose lives were erased from white
memory, and whose times were never
recorded in my history books?
No, I am not allowed to forget. I
am not excused to turn away and believe
that my cause is the only cause or the
most important cause.
Even within the current feminist
movement, there is much division and an
unfortunate lack of communication. There
are barriers which divide women along
lines of race, class, sexual orientation and
age, to name only a few. These differences
among women should make us stronger,
should help us understand the broader
differences that exist across political,
cultural and gender boundaries. But these
differences have not united us.
, . Witl)ill the. last 1.0,to 12., years,
scholars ' and ' activists have focused 'on
recognizirig multicultural viewpoints.
Recently, I have been reading a
book titled Bridges of Power: Women's
Multicultural Alliances. It is an anthology
of papers presented at the 1988 conference
of · the National Women's Studies
Association. The topic of that conference
was how to build alliances between
women of color and white women without
once again relegating the voices of women
of color LO a marginal existence within the
white-dominated feminist movement. The

a
subject has been recurring one since
white feminist leaders began to realize that
their experiences as women are not the
only experiences.
One way to begin changing social
movements and work toward a better
understanding of each other is to form
alliances.
Alliances require interest groups to
work together and begin a dialogue. This
does not mean that groups should not
continue to meet independently to discuss
how oppression affects them differently.
In fact, it is crucial that they do so. But it
is also important that groups meet
together to learn about each other and
discover how oppression affects people
differently.
In this alliance, groups would
should retain their respective identities.
They should also learn from .each other
that types of oppression cannot be ranked.
According to Davida I. Alperin, an
interactive fonn of alliance building (what
I've just described) would allow oppressed
groups LO meet separately where they can
"gain their self-respect. name themselves,
and discover their own history." She says
it is also important however for these
same groups to "form alliances with other
groups in order to compare, contrast, and
identify the connections among different
types of oppression."
Alliances based on the interactive
model, balancing individual analysis and
group problem solving, recognize that
oppression is not singular; but rather
connected to all forms of oppression.
Oppression of any kind limits our
development as human beings and must
be fought by a diverse group dedicated to
ending all forms of oppression.
This model of alliance is a starting
point, one that can be expanded beyond
the feminist movement and incorporate
members of every community. Alliances
should cut across lines of gender, race,
ethnicity, class, anything, including
everyone who is willing to listen and
respect the other members.
While it is · extremely important
that, for example, members of the AsianAmerican community meet separately
from the larger community to discuss
problems that they alone experience, it is
equally as important that they come back
to the community and communicate their
grievances. We (and I don't mean White
America, I mean every American) need to

From there we can decIde together which

There are people all over this
campus who have organized members of
their community, have their needs dermed,
and work independently of other groups.
Oppression is not singular or isolated. As
human beings, we suffer multiple
oppressions. We need alliances and open
communication to build a strong
resistance to oppression.

No time for pig?
Just turn her off!

Eleven reasons why my mechanical
pig, Porkbelly, is a better status symbol
than a couple of hounds.
1) She doesn't beg.
2) She doesn't eat or drink.
3) She doesn't defecate or urinate.
4) She doesn't shed or smell.
5) She never gets into knife fights
with packs of dogs in front of the CAB or
the community center.
6) She doesn't spit, drool or froth
at the mouth.
7) She doesn't terrify/mutilate
small children. .
8) I can take her into restaurants, to
class, on the bus ...
9) She doesn't choke to death when
I drag her on the ground behind me.
10) She never gets sick and I never
have any vet. bills to pay. In fact the
only money I've spent so far has been a
few bucks fer batteries.
11) I can't neglect hC2'. If I don't
have time for my pig, I just turn her off.

New budget reductions cut course offerings, services
Washington voters: Learn from Oregon, say no to 601/602
by Rev. Andrew F. Lyons
A couple years ago Oregonians
were given a chance to "send a message"
to Governor Barbara Roberts. You see,
people were in a big hoodoo over what
they felt was government waste of their
tax dollars. People wanted to put a cap on
their taxes and put a cap on all the "waste"
that was going on. So Measure Five was
put on the ballot.
Oregon is the state that I hail from,
and I'm bringing up Measure Five because
it seems that Washington has, under some
kind of similar fevered rational, put itself
in a similar situation with 601 and 602.
On 601, I don't really have a lot to
say. t mean, why shouldn't alcohol and
tobacco industries pay a hefty tax? They
. are hefty companies. And when they pass
it down to you, it's not the government
punishing you with a sin tax. It's the
alcohol and tobacco companies sapping
you dry because they think you are a
bOOCh of mindless addicts.
I 602, on the other hand, seems
very similar to the Measure Five I
remember. Just like then, we are being
inundated with a montage of images of tax
and spend liberals with are tax dollars
burning a hole in their pockets. But
realize this, no matter who is in charge,
their job is bureaucracy. They aren't going
to cut what they do for a living to try and
save you money, they'll cut it from
somewhere else, like schools.
Measure Five passed in Oregon,
'Three strikes you're out' strikes out
taxpayers; Prison is expensive
by Rob Davis
Voters can decide whether or not
criminals convicted of three or more
"most serious crimes" will face mandatory
life imprisonment by voting yes or no on
Initiative 593.
Known as "three. strikes, you're
out", 593 places a mandatory life sentence
on criminals convicted of three or more
"most serious crimes" with no chance of
parole, earned early release time, furlough,
community cus~ody, home detention,
partial confmement or work release.
Proponents of 593 argue that too
many loopholes exist under current law
and that repeat offenders gain freedom
~rematurely. Less than 10 percent of
violent criminals commit the majority of
violent crime; most continue criminal
activity when released. Present law falls
shon of ensuring that these criminals will
not re-offend. An example lies in the
nine-year, six-month penaity prison term
recommended for a child molester with
two previous sex felony convictions. 593
would put the criminal in for life.
Opponents argue that 593 costs too
much and locks up criminals who threaten
the public far less than someone deserving
a life sentence. A life sentence means that
taxpayers will fund a prison geriatric ward
for aging prisoners who may no longer be
threatening. The cost equals $26,000 per
person, per year for an average of thirty
years, adding up to $800,000 per felon.
This new cost would deprive health care,
jobs, education and other programs of
money, they argue. Furthermore, 593
includes reckless car accidents which cause
injuries and reckless injuries which may
occur during bar fights as "most serious
crimes." The opponents consider these
crimes insufficient to warrant a life
sentence.
The following constitute " most
serious offenses,"
assault, child
molestation, controlled substance
homicide, extortion, incest, indecent
liberties, kidnapping, leading organized
crime, manslaughter, rape, robbery,
promoting
prosti tut ion,
sex ual
exploitation, vehicular assault, drunk
driving homicide or other felonies
committed with "sexual motivation" or
with a deadly weapon.
The chance to approve or repudiate
593 occurs on Nov. '2.

and the masses were able to send this
tough message to the government and
Mrs. Roberts. Or so they thought.
A few months later, a new marble
archives building was constructed next to
the much dilapidated yet still functioning
junior high school that I once attended.
Rugs were brought in from overseas, even
though there is a place In Pendleton that
makes such things and is world renowned
for it. The wood floors that the rugs were
placed on carne from Canada.
Meanwhile; just across the street,
Parish Middle School had become so over
crowded that a couple trailer-park-looking
sttuctures were hauled in by flat bed trucks
and dumped on the school's front lawn.
For P.E. class, students are herded
to a sunken field across a busy
intersection. One would think that this
would help alleviate the problem of
student population, but in reality more
kids make it across the street than don't.
And what about all that money
everybody saved from the evil tax
monster? To this very day letters still
trickle in to the Oregonian and the
Statesman Journal, whining, "What
happened? Where is my money still
going?" Just because one tax stagnates,
doesn't mean the others won't rise to pick
up the slack . .
Maybe these conditions seem
horrific, but hey, the money has to come
from somewhere.
The heaviest hit by Measure Five
were the colleges. Programs were dropped
and tuition was hiked. Even if you could
still afford to go to school, they dropped
the program you were in the middle of
anyway.
In the end, most Oregon state
colleges ended up dropping many of the
programs that the other schools in the
state had.
.
For example; if you want to be a
teacher or a cop, you go to Western
Oregon State College. If you want to be a
drunk frat boy or sorority girl who some
day moves into a mid-management
position of some kind, you go to OSU. If
you want to study journalism or some
kind of science, and maybe see a Dead
show, then there is the U of O. If you
want to live with your parents and keep
that minimum wage job you fought so
hard for, there's always community
college.
By eliminating programs, and
cutting back on faculty, Oregon colleges
made it tougher to get into worse
programs. By skyrocketing tuition, they
made it tougher for people to afford school
and nearly impossible to matriculate in
from out of state. Besides, with obstacles
like these who would want to?
I mean let's face it. The Northwest
can't sell it's schools on looks alone. Ten
months out of the year is dark and filled
with this constant drizzle and one out of
three people suffers from depression
because of it. Compare that to fully
funded schools in places like Arizona and
Florida. Places which will be comparable
cost, places we will be competing with.
For all the good it does me, I'm
still registered to vote in Oregon. So all I
can do is warn the people of this fair
voting district; don't shoot yourself in the
foot.

On Friday, November 5, Olympia
will welcome Les Ballets Africains to the
Washington Center for the Performing
Arts. The National dance company of the
Republic of Guinea consists of 40
members who will perform a two hour
myriad of traditional dance, theater, storytelling, acrobatics, and music.
Keita Fodeba, a Guinean
choreographer and school teacher, formed
Les Ballets Africains in Paris in 1952. In
1958, Guinea gained independence and the
then-new president, Sekou Toure, invited
the dance company to come home,
deeming them the "national ensemble of
the Republic of Guinea."
Since then, Les Ballets Africains
has been touring world-wide, receiving
enthusiastic acclaim from critics in Asia,
Europe, and across the Americas. Now
they've come to Olympia. Their new
production for the Fall 1993 U.S. tour is
entitled " Silo-The Path of Life."
.(
Their traditional dances depict the
four natural regions of Guinea, while the
music comes from the Kora (a harp-like
instrument) , the Balophone (similar to a
xylophone), and the Peuhl flute, in
addition to many percussion instruments
including the Djimbe and the Doundoun,
for which Guinea is famous.
Les Ballets Africains is recognized
as Africa's most accomplished and

Washmgton Center for the Performmg Arts Nov. 5.
of Clinton's first album in four years is
no small event.
Clinton is the genius Maggot
Overlord of Parliament-Funkadelic, the
funk music empire that rescued dance
music from the blahs in the '70s and
supplied the music for more rap records
than James Brown in the '80s. His last
record was . 1989's
Cinderella
Theory,which was a great album but
couldn't keep the funkateers peaceful
forever -so just in time to rescue the
decade, it's here: Hey Man ... Smeli My
Finger.
This time he's done it. HMSMF is
not perfect - "If True Love" is a
forgeuable ballad and "The Big Pump" is
a cheesy house tune which I'm surprised
Prince signed his name to. But every
record has a hole in the middle, and this
is a hell of a record -- definitely Clinton's
best work since 1983's "Computer
Games."
Of course he couldn't do it alone -there are nearly one hundred names listed
in the personnel. But it's Clinton's
unbelievable production that combines the
huge bands of the old days with the hip
hop skills of today and comes out a brew
of highly potent Funk with a capital F.
This is an album with a million
highlights. "Di's Beat Disrupts," "Let's
Get Satisfied," and "Kickback" are all
instant classics with armies of vocalists
singing, rapping, and chanting over a
thick layer of beats, keyboards, and horns
that words just can't do justice to.
P-Funk veterans Bernie Worrell,
Bootsy Collins, Maceo Parker, Fred
Wesley, and Blackbyrd McKnight all
make their presence known with great
solos throughout. Chili Pepper Flea does
a great bass solo on "Martial Law," and
Herbie Hancock's piano playing
steals the spotlight on "Maximumisness."
The funk flag is flying high, and it's
not just a retro trend. HMSMF proves
that George Clinton and company are still
.. light years in time ahead of their time."
Get off your 'a ss and jam to the nearest

Edward Lewis Severson Ill , ever
heard of him? Perhaps you've seen him?
Maybe you'd know him if'I said he was
on the cover of Time magazine last week.
Well, if you don't already know,
Edward Lewis Severson III just happens to
be Eddie Vedder of Pearl Jam. And these
days that's news. With much anticipation,
Pearl Jam has just released its second
album, VS ,and in Seattle, this is almost
an occasion to take the day off.
The unveiling of VS took place on
Oct. 11 at the United Artists 150 Cinema.
With local VIPs of the city, I went to the
premiere to see first hand what all the
excitement was about. The event was
swarmin g with reporters, including th e
informants from MTv . Being a n
informant of sorts myself, I kept a low
profile and took on the eyes of a spectator.
Not much time passed before the
slide show presentation began . The slides
were synchronized to the songs off of the
new album which played at a volume
louder than most campus parties. The
haunting lyrics which bellowed into my
being were hard to endure.
The songs were an honest account
of the depressing agony in people's lives .
The images on the screen were revealing,
We need you.

but left me with a melancholy feeling.
In some ways, I suppose, the ·
premiere was no big shock in terms of the
mood it set. Pearl Jam has never been the
happy go lucky type. The album addresses
issues about race, crime, depression and
fear.
Much like their Ten album the
public gets a close up view about lives
which are on the edge or barely able to
cope. Critics today claim this reveals a lot
about our friend Eddie. My personal view
on the so called hero of "Generation X" is
that we should all leave the mystery of
Mr. Vedder alone. A little psychoanalysis
can be taken as proof in the wrong way.
Eight days after the premiere and
all the press, the music industry geared up
to finally release VS. Dummy me,
actually tried to locate the taped version
on that day, but soon found out that vinyl
version was all that one could buy in
Seattle. The joke was on many people
though and with dedication like no other
Pearl Jam fan, I waited for the release on
Ocl. 19. Purchasing a copy that was made
when the album was to be titled "Five
Against One," I kncw I had bought a true
collectors item.
The album, though very much in
the Pearl Jammin' sty le has a new
quality if you listen closely, New
rhythmic drum beats can be found and '
moments of more calm realization. The
grunge style guitar riffs are still with the
group, but a song about an elderly woman
takes center stage with its content and
form. The fmal song, titled "Indifference,"
is really the most memorable thing about
the whole album.
A difference can be heard in this
new album, which is all the more reason
why one should pick up a copy. Concen
plans are underway. which means we all
need to memorize our verses.
Page 14 Cooper Point Journal October 28, 1993
In fact, radio personalities have
been saying that Pearl Jam is scheduling
concert performancef; and local fans
should be pleased to know that this
means three Seattle shows in December.

When I was in 9th grade and hadn't
discovered punk rock, the notion of going
Backstage at a concen was one enshrouded
in myth and mystery. On MTV I bird been
exposed to images of rockstars, their
entourage, their deli trays, their groupies,
the media and ·the bold separation between
those who could get Backstage and those
who could not. It presents itself at some
higher level, some kind of prestige and
privilege, bestowed upon the lowly fan.
So Joshua and I decided to take the
alley route behind the Moore Theater,
because at the time, I was thinking about
not actually seeing Green Day and Bad
Religion, but just saying hello to an
acquaintance I had met in Berkeley who
happens to sing for Green Day. I had
pondered skipping out on the whole affair
due to my perception that the event would
be sticky and tense and just totally alien
to the time I saw Green Day play at
Gilman St. in Berkeley, CA and everyone
was connected.
The alley was broad aneJ deep,
stretching a long city block parallel to
Second Avenue in downtown Seattle. Two
large white trucks were parked in the
center, in front of a four foot tall loading
dock behind-die theater, Gathered around
were a couple of unexpected friends from
Olympia, two friends of theirs who also
knew Green Day, and the band's bassist,

by . M~tt Reeves
.
The alley beside the Capitol
Theater was packed with Scenesters even
before the show was supposed to start, and
for a moment I panicked and thought I
was late and missed the first band. Not so.
I assumed everyone was there early
because they didn't want to miss
Stereolab.
Long Hind Legs played to a goodsized audience. [ began to think that
maybe all the people who were there were
Long Hind Legs' friends and family.
I can't fathom why anyone would
willingly submit themselves to listening
to this band, they were so thoroughly
morose and dull. Two boys, one keyboard,
one big drum and one guitar. The singing
boy recites angst-ridden experimental
poetry while guitar boy pounds out the
riffs. Then singing boy beats on the drum
(morosely, if you can imagine morose
drumming) and twiddles around with the
keyboard. "Can't you see how this hurts
me?" singing boy moans.
I hate to be so hard on them ,
because they seemed nice and all, but
towards the middle of their set, I just
wanted it to be over.
A good part of the audience sat on
the floor throughout Long Hind Legs'
performance, which was wise. Standing
while being assaulted by a faux-Bauhaus
are in a band Ilccause of the corduroy jackeL
band is way too much.
It was surprising to find that
Stereolab would be playing next, since I
assumed they were the headlining band.
Stereolab came to town complete
with a press release. It was one of the
funniest things I have ever read, but I
couldn't tell if it was supposed to be
funny or not. "Transient Random-Noise
Bursts With Announcements is a wonder
of gracefully layered, always unpredictable
sound, an entity whose technical
sophistication belies its emotional depth,
whose dark vibe masks its hopeful
message. 'You don't have to just ~eam
your life, it's possible to have ideas and
have them come true,' says Laetitia.
Stereolab have done just that."
The thing the press release neglects
to tell you is that Stereolab is a New
Wave band. They are from England and
have that special Euro-cool that all the
best New Wave bands have. They are not
industrial-sounding as their latest CD
title, Transient Random-Noise Bursts
With Announcements suggests. They are
sort of like a cross between the Pixies and
Bananarama. Stereolab plays the kind of
music that I would want to listen to if I
was, say, riding a magic carpet through
the canals of Mars. I couldn't help but tap
my foot.
Unrest, a D.C. band, played a show
in the Mods once, in my Mod in fact.
After their set (at the Mods) I was talking
to one of them, I don't think he's in the
band now, and he asked for my address and
told me he would send postcards from
other places along their tour. I waited in
vain. The postcards never came and I have
never forgiven Unrest.
While he plays, Unrest's
singer/guitar-player looks like he's in
