At the October 5 meeting of the

seats in the room were filled with patrons
of Mario' s smoke shop iI\" downtown
Olympi a. Duririg the "public communicalion" ponion of the meeting, many
of them spoke and voiced their dismay
over the imminent closing of Mario' s on
October 12.
Officially, Mario' s is closing due
to a dispute over a water bill, but it is no
secret that Mario 's has never been a
ra vored busines s downtown, mainly
because of the presence of its clientele,
many of whom arc homeless tcens.
"[Olympians] don't even take the

alcohol, gangs,'" said Christena Jones, cocoordinator of the protest group.
Over nn hour of speeches were

testimonial to Mario Agosta's character
and the necessity of keeping Mario's
open.
Four years ago, I visited Mario' s in
order to film a documentary there. Many
of the people I interviewed told me the
same kinds of things they told the city
council: "Mario gave me money to buy a
suit." "Mario gave me a place to stay
when I ran away from home." "Mario
gave me a job." "Mario helped me get off
drugs. " "Mario's is like a second home to
me." " Mario is like a second father to
me." Although there is a fair amount of
youthful hyperbole in some of their
statements, one gets the impression that
they are not exaggerations and that
Mario's patrons are frightened at what
might happen if Mario's does not relocate.
The issue is linked closely with the
recent complaints of downtown business
owners about the "deterioration" of the
"downtown core," especially regarding the

The previously mentioned space,

by Matt Reeves
Although proposed last spring, no
video games will be installed in the
unused Community Center TV room.
Instead, Housing staff members plan to
provide six word processors for student
use in the room.
Housing hopes to borrow currently
unused AT&T 6300 computers from
Computer Services, but details still need
to be hammered ouL
According to Housing Director
Jeanne Chandler, last spring there was an
"empty room, and a number of different
people had different ideas about it."
Housing sent out questionnaires to
residents and found them to be
resoundingly uninterested in the placement
of video games in the room .
It is not yet known when the word
processors will be installed or at what
hours they will be available to resident
use.
The television that occupied the
room in years past was vandalized and is
being repaired. It will be installed in the

months, was coveted by Java JunkIes,
who wanted to set up a more permanent
establishment there. But due to the high
cost of converting the space into a more
suitable coffee-cart environment, which
would mean new ventilation, remodeling,
etc. For the time being, Java Junkies will
remain where they are. in front of the
Community Center fireplace.
There is. however , a possibility
that Java Junkies will relocate to another
part of the Community Center, which
would then be made more permanent than
its current location. It depends partially
on h9w well they perform financially this
year.
According to both Chuck
McKinney. Housing Activities Manager,
and Kat Litchfield, Java Junkies
employee, the cart is doing well this
quarter.

Everything you' should know about graduate school
If you arc a senior like me. now that
you have recovered from the trauma of
registering for Fall Quarter classes ("What
<10 you mean they only have openings in
The History of Mongolian Cinema!") and
not getting your Financial Aid ("We lost
that form."). it's lime for you to
contemplate what is going to happen to
you once they rorcibly eject you from
Evergreen ("1 know I have 8,000 credits,
but I need just one more course ... OWW!
Not so hard!") .
The alternatives arc:
1) Get a job that allows you to pay
back the ridiculous amounts of student
loans you took out that you ended up
spending on CDs and keggers, or
2) Go to graduate school and take
out even Illore ridiculously large loans.
Hopefully. you can stay there so long that
you die before you pay them back.
If any of you have been paying
attention to the '.'Generation X" writers
who have been carping and moaning in the
media, you know that the only jobs out
there for college graduates with bachelor's
degrecs usually involve saying "Would
you like fries with that'!," unless your
parents arc named Perot, Gmes or
Kennedy .
For instance, a friend of mine,
recently graduated with an Evergreen B.S.,
is a dishwasher at the Asterisk. and has a
paper route for exlra spending cash. He
was also doing this kind of work while he
was in high school. This is called upward
mobility.
The alternative is simple: grad
school. Of course, it isn't as easy as
saying "Gee, I'd like to pay an exorbitant
amount of money for a slight chance to
actually have a job that doesn't involve

wearing a stupid iooking uniform and hat,
so could I pay it to you?" No, there are
some time-honored, utterly humiliating
rituals to perform first. which will lrain
you for the humiliation of grad school.
The first of these is mking the GRE,
or Graduate Record Exam. I know, the
main reason you came to Evergrecn was
to avoid ever having to take a multiplechoice test, or having to deal with math
(or for some scientists, English). Well, you
have no choice. because even though you
never have to take another multiple-guess
test. you still have to ulke it.
This is especially true since
Evergreen students don't get graded, they
get narrative evaluations. God forbid that
an admissions officer should evaluate you
based on what someone says about you;
it's so much easier when there's a letler or
number. I mean. you didn't actually think
that anyone was going to ever read your
evaluations, did you? You and your profs
could have just written "99 bollies of beer
on the wall" over and over again. for all
they care.
After silting in a large room with
5,000 other people who are all nervous
and are sweating so much the test
adminiSlrators have to use scuba gear, you
can engage in the unique exercise in
humility and exaggeration known as

that flash of courage and surrealism and
perhaps peace that I see in those eyes and
that I respect so much. My viewpoint is

I am quite out of my clement, and 1

heartening.

A.id answ'ers your most persistent· questions
by Bill Zaugg, Art Costantino
and Arnaldo Rodriguez
During the past .few weeks, a
number of questions have arisen regarding
financial aid. Staff in the Office of the
Vice President for Student Affairs and the
Office of Enrollment Services have
iden tified the most frequently asked
questions and provided what we 'hope will
be helpful information. The questions are
as follows:
1. I filed my application by
March 15, yet I didn't get my
award for months. Why does it
take so long?
There are many steps involved in
processing a financial aid application.
With the volume (thousands of files and
tens of thousands of documents) and very
detailed federal regulations, processing
even completed files is a time-consuming
process. Your notification can be delayed
further if there is missing information in
yo ur file. In many cases, files are
completed and then discrepancies are noted
The
in the materials submitted.
notification cannot be made until your file
is complete and all discrepancies have
been cleared up. If your application
missecl the March 15 deadline, review
would not have even begun until midJuly.
2. How many applications
for financial aid did you have this
. year?
.
Over 4,200 individuals completed
at least some portion of the financial aid
application process so far for the ~ 19931994 academic year (already more
applications than during the entire 19921993 academic year). Many of .these
individuals were not admitted or decided
not to altend TESC. Approximately
2, 3_00 applications involved direct
processing. Of these, over 1,800 received
their notification by the flfSt week of class
for fall quarter. All but a handful of the
remaining files are awaiting some form of
documentation from the student or her/his
parents.
3. I received a work-study
award last year but not this year.
How can this be?
There were many more students
eligible for work-study this year than last
year. Therefore, the minimum criteria for
receiving an award was raised. Also, the
total available funds for the federal workstudy program is less this year which has
caused a reduction in the number of
students awarded work-study. Other
reasons that might have kept you from
receiving a work-study award this year are
lack of sufficient academic progress, more
than 180 credits earned, a change in your
or your family's financial condition from
last year, or other types of aid awarded to
you in lieu of work-study.
4. I'll have a check coming
in next week, but I can't meet my
financial obligations this week.
What can I do?
TESC has an emergency loan
program available to help students with
prior good lending credit. This loan is
available to meet short-term needs. Three
working days are required for processing.
You will need to repay the loan by no
later than the end of the current quarter.
Please check with the Financial Aid Office
for further details.
5. What is Evergreen doing
to speed
the
processing of
financial aid awards?
During the last academic year, a
new staff member was added to the
Financial Aid Office and temporary
personnel were hired. Another staff
member will be added to the Financial Aid

be slightly modified. Some staff, by the
nature of their work, will not be able to
fit all of their garbage into the new mini
garbage can. Rest assured that those
special problems will be accommodated
on a building-by-building basis. There
will be no giant garbage cop standing over
your shoulders. However, ultimately the
custodial staff will not be emptying
individual garbage cans.
I am excited at the prospects of this
new commitment. It is a natural evolution
of the countless hours many of you have
spent making recycling at TESC really
work.
With your help and cooperation,
we will continue to lead the way for all
higher education institutions throughout
the state. Let's generate 90 percent
less garbage in the 1990s.
I will be available any time to talk
to you or your group. Please call or drop

includes Glacier National Park and Bob
Marshall Wilderness; the Greater
Salmon/Selway ecosystem, which
includes the Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness
and River of No Return Wilderness; and
the greater Yellowstone ecosystem, which
includes the Yellowstone National Park,
and Teton and Beartooth Mountains.
The plan . also includes protection
of public "road less areas" such as the
Boulder-White Cloud roadless area,
consituting 545,000 acres in the Challis
and Sawtooth National forest
As Wolke remarks, this Wilderness
Complex is a land of superlatives. The
River of No Return is the largest
designated wilderness south of Alaska.
Hell's Canyon, on the Snake River, is the
deepest river-carved canyon in the world.
The northern two-thirds of the
Salmon/Selway includes the largest
essent ially intact, virgin forest in
temperate North America. The Salmon
River is the wildest river in the 48 states;
its middle fork flows entirely within
wilderness and its main fork is the second
largest free-floating river in the lower 48
states.
.
On the day I met with Wolke and
Olson. David Brower delivered the keynote
address to the Alliance for the Wild
Rockies, at the Wild Rockies Rendezvous;
reiterating this same point
Brower, founder of Earth Island
Institute, and Friends of the Earth, former
Executive Director of the Sierra Club,
pointedly observed that conservation of
wildlands has only been able to slow their
rate of loss and destruction.
However, he calls NREPA,
"Presently the best bilJ for the defense of
our remaining unprotected de facto
wilderness."
NREPA is unique in its approach
to wildlands designations. Included in this
act is a pilot system of "National
Wildlands Recovery" areas. These are
areas which have been affected by
excessive roading, clear-cutting, grazing or
mining. The plan reclaims and restores
these areas, which could also create jobs.
NREPA will protect the
fragmented populations of wildlife while
supporting regional biodiversity. For
more information on NREPA, contact:
the Alliance for the Wild Rockies
PO Box 8731
Missoula, MT 59807
or call (406) 721-5420. Write your
congressperson asking her/him to sponsor '
this bill. Mention that this bill is based
on ecosystem needs, not state boundaries.
It will protect old growth forests, wildlife
corridors and biodiversity.
Remember David Brower's words
when he quoted a former Colorado
Congressman; "Politicians are like
weather vanes in a time w\1en we need
compasses.
So until we get some
compasses in office, we all have to make
a mighty big wind."

Review
by Rev. Andrew F. Lyons
I liked the show. Really I did. Flop
sounded great. Screaming Trees were good
100, at least musically anyway. Both were
well received; the pit seemed to ebb and
flow with them in rhythmic fashion.
. So if it was such a great show-,
then why do I feel cheated?
Screaming Trees were ill fine
form. Mark Lanegan was in good voice,
and their con nection with the nu<lience
was simply cosmic.
I was completely caught up in the
music. I barley noticed the break they
took between "More or Less" and "Nearly
Lost You." I wouldn't have paid any
<lllention to it at all if it weren't for Van
Conner coming out and thanking
everybody for coming . There almost
seemed to be an apologetic LOne to his
voice.
Before I had time to think about it
the band was back on stage, and I was
once agai n bobbing rhythmica lI y to
"Nea rl y Lost You."
Nex t came "Bult()~" and "Julie
Paradise ... ·' After thaL .. nothing. MarJ..
Lnnegan was gone again, and up on stage
was Van, just like before, with this half
hearted "thanks Olympia," thing.
Gary then joined his brother on
stage ancl they , minus Mark, played two
songs that 1, nor ,myone that I know,
hadn't ever heard before. They were
alright, if somewhat rusty. It certainly
didn't seem planned.
After those two numbers the show
came to an end. I looked at my watch, it
wasn't even midnight.
My worst suspicions were
confinned as I met up with Ben Burland,
tatloo clad CPJ lackey, out front of the
theater. From his pocket Ben produced a
worn piece of pnper, moist with sweat. It
was the play list!
The list revealed an additional four
songs that weren't included in the show.
People began to talk wildly, throwing
mound various hypothesis about what had
transpired . People claimed to have heard
from stage-hnnds that Lanegan had dumped
the audi ence for a bottle of hooch . From
then on Ben si mply referred to Lanegan as
Ihc "l ittle bitch. "
I C;IIl ' t say that I was robbed by
lhi s ex pe rience. After all , the musi c was
decent, ;lntl I didn't pay. But thaI isn't
speaking for the multitudes that poured
from the theater with $20 T-shirts

We got there late. Frankly, I really
didn't care either way about seeing Gravel
or Flop. I paid my $10.50 for the main
attraction.
.
As things turned out, though, we
did ca tc h Flop's set. They weren't half
bad. They have a sort of whiny, bluecollar, Portland feel to their music.
Actually, I think that they're from Seattle
but isn't everybody?
So after waiting in the sweltering
heat with hundreds of HOly Girls" and preteen diaper punks (l could go on for days
about that), we managed to steal some
scats in the middle of the Capital and
wuited for the Screaming Trees to begin
their show.
I love this band . The Screaming
Trees are, without question, the ugliest
band in rock-n-roll. They personify
everything that is good and just about
rock-n-roll. On stage, Van and Gllry Lee
Conner are living visions of rock's true
identity; large, loud and interested only in
h,lving n great time.
Gary Lee's guitar playing can make
even the most downtrodden young soul
forget it all nnd simply be. Watching Van
in concert is a lesson in the beauty of
s implidty. When the two of them
connect, everyone nearby had bettor watch
out for flying behemoths with long hair.
In 1Il0st states, BilITett M;lrtin's
hair would constitute its own county .
Yes, the \\lan's hair is bigger than any
Bev Head's, and when he's beating his
drums , can whip u'p gale-force winds. But
oh my can he beaL those drums!

hook, however. With only three songs
left, he disappeared; leaving the others to
finish the show with ancient, unrehearsed
songs that nobody knew or cared about.
One can only wonder what drove him to
leave the throbbing crowd in .the lurch.
Speculation abounds as the words ego,
burn-out and Jack Daniels are tossed
arollnd carcle,ssly by bouncers.
If you pay $10.50 for a show
(especially in Olympia for God's sake!)
then you expect to get a show worthy of
such an outlandish price. I guess when it
comes down to it, I don't feel that
Lanegan ripped me off, he just stole the

Language Lessons by Emi J. Kilburg

Review
like collections of sound bites while our
contemporary story-tellers and poets are
. pushed to the fringes. Why does the music
industry keep selling us music that sounds
like a Coke ad? Why do we keep buying
it? Tony Bird is unique because he wants
to say something, not just make noise for
it's own sake.
His music's Earth connections are
apparent in his voice, like tile wind across
an African plain, his guitar playing or in
the elemental beat that he taps with his
foot or on his guitar (" it's a Yamaha, it
can take it" he says to the audience).
Tony's music is the product of
growing up white in an AfTican town and
seeing the legal crimes of his own people
and the suffering of the native people. He
left Malawi in the early sixties and started
to study forestry in England, but later
ended up on a geographical survey ship
and shortly after that began singing. In

Rationalize by Joe Watt & Evenstar Deane
I should read the
social contract and
the housblg contract
because:
It's always nice to
know my rights.
There are so many
contradictions. This
ll1akes it easy for me
to rationalize anything.

OPAS
1822 W. Harrison
Olympia
1970 he found himself again in Malawi,
and for the next two years he toured clubs
in southern Africa, singing of the beauty
and suffering of Africa. His bluntness
about injustice and apartheid soon put him
in danger, forcing him to leave his
homeland again. He returned to England
where he was signed by CBS and
eventually he moved to the United States,
where he now lives.
His early records; "Tony Bird" and
"Tony Bird of Paradise" were released by
Columbia in 1976 and 1978, the latter
being named by the Chicago Tribune as
one of the ten best pop albums of all
time. After Columbia, he spent most of
his time touring clubs all along the East
Coast, with a few appearances in the west.
When I talked with him, he said
that he felt it was time for. him to make
another album, He also talked of someday
returning to Malawi, which he has lost
the right to do. His latest album is "Sorry
Africa."
