staff members, including the editor,
are learning by doing, and making
their share of mistakes. Often the
sta ff members find themselves up at
odd hours, too tired and giddy to do
their best. People in general don't
contribute as much and respond as
much to papers as editors would like.
These are all limitations you have
referred to in your editorials , But
you' have used these arguments to
avoid the real issues. You had hid
behind them as a defense. The fact
is that you, the editor, are responsible for all that is published in the
paper.
Here are some examples:
I. You devote a 20-line paragraph
in your Dec. 6 issue to tell the readers
that Nancy Boullon is a volunteer.
So what? I f her story is published

Several years ago, a friend of
mine invited me to an Earth, Wind,
and Fire concert. I was unfamiliar
with the group, but I accepted . The
day came, and knowledgeable, or so
I thought, of proper concert attire,
[ dressed accordingly: beat-up
Nike's, Brittania's, a tight "DISCO
SUCKS" tee-shirt, and a faded Levi
jacket. Whether my friend was as
ignorant of the -group's music as I,
or he knew better than to rile me by
objcting to my clothing, I don't
know . But, when he picked me up,
he said nothing.
The first person I saw upon entering the concert hall was a tall , striking, beautifully coiffed black
woman wearing a maroon silk
dress, matching spike heels, a fur
coat, and enough make-up to ensure
her position a~ Covergirl of the
year. "How flashy! How gauche!"
I thought as I began to unbullon my

"with her inaccuracies intact, it is your
fault, your responsibility. You have
the job to correct those inaccuracies.
In fact it is one of your primary functions, The paragraph is a defensive
statement to take responsibility off
of yourself. You even have the gall
to reprimand her in print. That's a
D- for an editor to do.
2. [n the discussion of the photos
in the Dec . 6 issue, you give essentially two reasons for publishing
them. One is valid: that YOU believe
they represented Indigena"us People's
Day. Whether or not a person agrees
with you on that is open to discussion. But if you printed the photos
for their content, then YOU have
made a decision; vou h~ve taken
responsibility. Good. Your second
reason, however, removes I he
responsibilitv from vour shoulders
again . The p'hotographer "was onlv
able to attend from 3 to 4 p.m.;'
(Three and four should be wrillen
out, by the way.) These excuses don ' t
belong in a paper. There are limitations to everything, and though most
peop le don't appreciate the limitations 10 putting out a newspaper,
most of us don't appreciate the difficulties of doing anything we
haven't done ourselves. In olher
words, these excuses are about as
good as the excuse of the student
who turns in his essay to the teacher
saying, "This isn't a~y good because
I was breaking up with my girlfriend
this week ." For the same reason excuses about being up late don't hold
water: Who cares? You are still required to put out a good paper; the
student is still required to hand in a
good essay. These excuses sound like
a bunch of wh ining.

difficulty m akes il self a pparent : the

But a ll is not lost in the pursuit of
dog friendliness, for beneath the uncaring exterior of a campus canine
is a m a n 's best friend trying to come
10 the surface . It is hoped that thi s
gu ide will lead the way to success.
Before sta rting, we must fi rst ask

a .i3llil ('r.

by Mike McKenzie
How many college students have
eaten their school mascot? It ca n't
be a very popular thing to do ,
especially when you consider how
many schools have dogs , cats, I ndians and stuff like [hat for mascot s
But you can eat geodueks ; they're
just big clams. In fact, you probably
have eaten t hem, most geoducks
caught commercially end up in
canned clam chowder .
You can buy geoducks in fish
m a rkets and sometimes even in the
grocery store, already cleaned and
cut into thin (quarter inch) steaks.
Geoducks are very nutritious if
fresh and eaten raw because they're
loaded with calcium, phosphorus,
iron , and potassium. But they have
to be fresh and not overcooked to
have the most nutritional value.
But if you buy geoduck in a
grocery store, you don't know how
fresh they are . How can you know
how long they sat on the frozen food
shelf before you got there?
If you're interested, there is a way
to get fresh geoduck. Geoducks live
in the lidal shores from northern
Ca lifornia to Alaska, and they're
abundant along the shores of the
Puget Sound. That's right , if you
live on ihe Sound, fresh geoduck
might be available in your own
backyard.
If you don'r live on the Sound
you'li"have to keep trespassing laws
in mind if you want to hunt
geoducks. You should go at low tide,
and low spring tides are the best.
Bring a s hovel with you: geoducks
li ve two to four feet underground .

Geoducks average three pounds,
and you'll get about a pound of eats
from one that size. It's not unusual,
however, to find them in the four to
, six pound range. There have bee n
geoducks found thaI weighed over
ten pounds, the shell alone weighing
over two pounds .
Okay, so you're on the beach and
you see spurt of water come out
of the ground. It 's eilher a geoduck
or some other type of cla m. I f you
can see the neck st icking a little bit
OUI of t he ground, even if you don't
see a spurt of water, you can be pretty sure .i t's a geoduck.
You're best off hunting geoducks
with two people, one to pull on the
geoduck's neck and another to dig
down on the water side next to the
geoduck. Geoducks are st rong and
don ' t like to be dug up, so the person holding the neck might ha ve il
break off in their hands . The person
digging will have to go pretty far
down to r,each the shell, so far that
they mig ht have to reach in up to
their armpit, but they should reach
in and g rab whatever they can and
pull the geoduck out.
Once you have the geoduck ou t of
Ihe ground, you have to clean it
before you can eat it. Scrub the
geoduck under cold running water ,
then drop it into boiling water for
ten seconds. Use a knife to sever the
muscle holding the geoduck's shell
together, cut the meat out of the
shell and to t~im the viscera (int e rnal organs) a way from t he neck and
breast. Soak the meat in cold water
for an hour or two, changing the

a

graduated greener
water every twenty minutes or so.
NOlhing ruins Ihe enjoyme nt of
geoduck quite as fast as finding sand
in the first bite. Slit the neck and
body and wash all the junk out.
Remove the s iphon, all dark portion s, and the green gland. Soak
again, until geoduck becomes limp
a nd the brown skin peel s off easily,
or cov,er the geoduck meat with
scalding waler for a minute or two
to remove the skin easily. Dry the
geod uck on a towel, then pound
meat with a mallet to tenderize.
The neck and breast are ROW
ready to cal. T hey can b e cooked,
bro iled, steamed, c hopped for
<:howder, or ealen raw--like sushi-with melt ed butter or vinegar sa uce .
If this process sounds a little too
radica l for you, or if you're not the
adventurous type but still wanl to try
geod uck , go to Ben Moore's
res taurant downtown. Geoduck is a
regu lar entree on their menu .

When sitting on a- bench in Red

notic e d Ihat dogs who had

gathered around around my bench
wit h interest in their eyes.
I was able to deduce t h at they
were interested in my meat sandwich, for every time thaI I raised it
to my mouth, thei r head s followed
with widened eyes. Reverting back
to our original question of what the
dogs like, .t hen , we will have to
answer "Food" or more exactly

"Meat. "

var ious sizes a nd s hapes, but the
form best suiled 10 our purposes is
I hat of processed bologna - t hinly
,~lieed .
You will need four rubbe r bands
a nd a stick . Collect these it e ms along
w ith Ihe bologna into a box which
ca n be easily <:arried around campus
and inl o class .
So he re is what to do in o rde r to
gain a lasti ng dog-relationship: when
cl ass is dismissed, quietly sneak in10 ' a bathroom or som e suc h place
where yo u can do t hings secretly.
Remove I he bologna a nd a ll else
from th e box, m a kin g s ure fhal no
o ne sees, and flip the box ove r so its
underside se~ves as a workbe nc h .
Foll ow the next five steps carefull y:
I. Take one s li ce of bologna and
wrap arou nd ,', tick. Place two rubber bands around bologna to secure
it in wrapped pos ition.
2. Wrap sl'cond bologna sl ice
a rou nd forearm slighll y above wrist.
Secure wit h o ne rubber band. Pull
sleeve over bologna to conceal.
Repeal process for opposite
forearm.
3. Tuck fourt h and fifth bologna
sli ces in soeks of bOlh feet.
4. Concea l sixth, seve nth, eight h ,
a nd nin th bo logna sli ces in a ll four
pockels of trousers.
5. Concea l st ick in coal.
With the five steps behind you,
consider yourself ready. Walk with
confidence o nto Red Sq uare. How
the dogs sudden ly take notice! Their
usual indifference and detachment is
replaced by a driving interest in your
person . They gather aro und you as
they would a celebrity or the president. When your purpose was to
make one or two canine friends,
look at how many ' more you have
gained!
, Pull the stick from your coat, and
watch them jump for joy . Give it a
toss and watch them scamper after
it. And when the fun is over, they'll
glady lie at your feet, for there is
bologna in Your socks.

Prclly, sexy, nirty., enthusiastic
yo ung women dressed in spectacular
costumes decorated with sequins,
tinsel, coins and plumes danced,
kicked, twirled and sang across the
stage. There were risque sk it s, jokes
from the drummer in th e balcony,
staggering appearances by Harvey
the House Drunk (Robin WahlerFielding) and thwartcd efforts at
singing by Clutz (Ronelle Russell) as
she introduced eac h act.
Did you hear about thc best bait

and Adam's dilemma with a pear?
Or how abou t the Widow Westfall,
whose name the judge never did get

thought he should be hung -- the

10 give a n audiencc' a r;olic into a
part of theatrc's pasl -- burlesque.
The sc ript, by Johnson and Mark
Sternberg, is based on traditional
material researched by Johnson.
Four years ag'o Johnson completed his thesi s projecl ".lack and
Jill Coming of Age." It was then
that he fell in love with the large production format. Thal summer he
saw Sugar Babies on Broadway. Il
had a polished and finished look but
lacked spontaneity . Burlesque had,
as a basic clement of its performance, an off the cuff feel that accented mi stakes, mishaps and
weaknesses to make them appear in -I"
tentional. Johnson researched and
worked for four years (part of that
time at st udent wages) to save

$10,000 of his own money to put into Tess, Tess Its a Burlesque. $4,000
was spent on costumes alone. This
amoun t was not difficult to spend
once you consider the materials and
time spent on a costume for one
dancer, just in the Sally Rand
Feathered Finale: a basic leotard,
panty hose, six yards of ch ilTon ,
twelve yards of sequ in s, three yards
of stretch sequ ins, a nylon backpack
strap, a camera strap, a six-inch by
six-inch piece of masonite -- to keep
the tail feathers up -- eighleen yards
of welding rod and eleven boas. The
fans were thirty-six ostrich feathers,
150 down fluffs and six dawls. In addition to costumes, props, lheat re
rental, and all the other expences
that come up with such a grand production, Johnson lavis hed the audience with free balloons (unpopped) tied with tinsel str ings and free
little boxed of Milk Duds thrown to
lIS in handfuls .
Unfortunately , such dedication is
not alwavs rewarded. In addition to

()nc of Ill y favnri(L~ images was
Adam, a wilelled old man (pla yed
by T.B.). He ,toocl in white coli 011
long underwear , a ~ reen felt leaf
hung precariollsly over his crotch.
He was struck by the reali za tion he
was lonely. His comic postures were
accented by his st art -hal l-st art -ha lt
across the stage as he searched for
companionship. His lea f swung as
Ihough at any 1110l11ent it would fall,
and it was ludi crous because so what
if it did? There was st ill all thai long
underwear. I could not believe my
eyes were seeing this. Then I laughed t hat someone would look so
ridiculous for me.
And that is' what thi s burlesque
was all about -- t he players secmed
to say, "The joke is onus; we know
it. Laugh. Have fun. We're doing
this for you ." And laugh I did. I felt
good inside when I left. That night
we reveled in the-silly, funny side of
sex. We sat back, relaxed and laugh ed. All blue noses had bcen checkedin at the doo r.

This dreadful movie will be most
disappointing to fans of Frank
Herbert's novel Dune who have been
,eagerly awaiting the film: writer and
director David Lynch manages to
follow the outwa rd form of the book
'while corrupting its inner vision
beyond belief. But anyone who goes
to see Dune expecting to be entertained is in for a shock.
Lynch and De Laurentiis have
created a film t hat is deeply oppressive, from the details of its
costuming to the totality of it s effect
on the a udience . The interiors a re
darkly baroque, strangely reminiscent of 1930's futurism. The court
of Ihe Emperor Shaddam IV looks
like some thing from Imperi al
Russia, which makes a sui table
background for the women's corseted Victorian outfits. The Be'ne
Gesserit voice o f power is convcycd
by making people sound like the
devil in the Exorcist. The dialogue
is appropriately wooden for the actors, who don't so much act as pose
and submit to specia l effects . The
narrative tends to announce rather
than describe occurrances: Paul
meets Chani and they are in lo ve,
Paul meets the sand worm and rides
triumphantly. It is difficult to tell on
what planet the action is occurring.
And despite all the busyness, the
movie feels like a prolonged preview
because there is no build-up of tension to justify the alleged climaxes.
There are a few modest Iy interesting bits among the humorless
chaos of the film. Kenneth McMillan
plays the evil Baron Harkonnen with
more energy than anyone else
displays. The moment of the child
Alia dancing with her knife after
killing the Baron is wonderful. Some
of the special effects, such as the

space navigator's VlSI! to the
Em peror, and the sand worms, are.
quite good. And the spice-addicted
people of Arrakis sure do have blue
eyes.
,'--Other effects are obv iousl y slop- .
py and fake, like the little lights that
bob along Ihe ceiling on their hidden wires and the, planets that look
like grade school science projects.
What I found most disturbing in
the film was the strong, unexamined fascist tendencies of the god-hero
Paul Muad'Dib. The menfolk of the
Hou se Atriildes wear 'whatlook like
Nazi uniforms. The elllry of the
Duke and his family into the castle
on Arrakis look s like somet hing out
of Triumph of the Will. Paul talks
like a totalitarian, declaring, "Who
can dcstroy a thing , con trol s a
thing." He leads the firemen into
orgy of violence which, we are told,
heralds the coming of peace and
justice to the Universe,
In the book we understand the
helplessness of Paul's position as the
unwilling instigator of a Universal
Holy War. But the mm glorifies his
bloody rise to power and blandly
tells us that it is all right because he
is good.
I t has been suggested by some
viewers and reviewers that the
violence in Dune is meant to be
disturbing to the audience. If so, I
think it fails. The film encourages
viewers to identify with and cheer
for a Fascist Messiah. We are expected to be distracted1Jy special effects and fast action from the essential emptiness of the characters and
theme . This movie is miserably dull,
painfully oppressive and insultin-g to
the intelligence and taste of the audience. I felt screwed to have paid
four bucks ' to see a film so
diminishing to the human spirit.

Longing for Holmes
bv Heidi RoecksHunt
"A little bit of each of us longs for
a Holmes to solve problems for us,"
savs faculty membcr Tom Foote of
the cont inuin g fascina tion he shares
with many people for th e advenlures
of Sherlock Holmes. Next Wednesday at 7pm, eac h o f us has a chance
to 'cc Sir Arthur Cona n Doyle's
timeles.s hero in action in "The
Advcnt ures of Sherlock Holmes, "
with Basi l Rathbone and Nigel
Bruce.
Co mplcmenting th e film will be a
prese ntation on "Gelling Around
London in the Fog." Both presentation and film are part of the
Sherlock Holmes Film Series lhat
began January 9th wilh "A Study in
Terror" starrin g John Neville.
Foote, working with students, and
fellow Sherlock Holmes en thu siasts,
Lisa Miller and Ann-Marie Wehrer,
spent winter quarter rounding up
films and various faculty members
for presentations. Accompanying
"A Study in Terror" was faculty
member Wilfred C. Humphreys' explanation of deductive reasoning.
Humphreys, a logician, engaged the
audience with exercises to test their
deductive reasoning powers. Foote
was pleased with the opening night
and is optimistic that future
Wednesdays will go as well.
No presentation was given this
past Wednesday, but as will happen
every other week a double feature
was shown instead. The January
30lh double feature includes "Dressed to Kill" and "The Woman in
Green". Both star Rathbone and
Bruce.
Robert Knapp, physicist at
Evergreen and a long-tim e
Anglophile--one devoted to things
British, will speak on the previouslymentioned topic of London fog. He
developed his expertise on the s~b­
ject by being married to a
Londonite.
Says Foote, the presentations are
"to entertain and to have fun. Thev
wont't bore you silly!"
Future movies in the series include, "Murder by Decree" and
"The Seven-Percent Solution" in

Common Cause

which Holmes is cured of his cocaine
addiction by Freud.
Publicity for the series has included a unique display of Sherlock
Holmes memorabilia in the library,
featuring a hat supposed ly worn by
Holmes. Also in the display are three
Holmesian quest ions which will be
changed weekly . At each movie the
first three people to correctly answer
that week's questions will be admitted free. Foote hinted that there may
even be a person dressed as Holmes
wandering the campus with his
magnifying glass in search of more
people to enjoy the series.

Center
by Darcy Van Steelant
This past fall three women became
the new coordinators of the
Women's Center (WC) . They are
working to make the center a
valuable asset to all women.
One project has been to evaluate
the role of the WC in a survey of
Evergreen women . The survey that
was mailed to 1,400 women students
in December of 1984 was an opportunity for these women to express
t heir needs, desires, and concerns.
Joni Sha rboneau was the coordinator who made ,a big push to
create a survey. Sharboneau is
presently a full time employee of the
Washington State Legislature, a
member of the Thurston County
Women's Political Caucus, and an
intern for the Washington's Women
United. She hopes to make the WC
more visible and functional for
women, and she wants Evergreen's
WC to be noted within the state. She
is making plans for a workshop on
March 16, to which she will be inviting women from other Women' s
Centers across the state to discuss
each other's activities, issues, and
problems .
The other two coordinators ,
Kathron Richards and Kristina
Knauss, helped Sharboneau assemble the survev. The intent of the
survey is to find out what women
stude~ts want from the Center.
Because onlv 70 to 80 of the I,4DO
surveys hav~ been returned so far,
the WC is extending the return time
of the survevs until the end of
January before compiling the
information.
But the coordinators are not just
waiting for the returned surveys
before they'll go into action. In the
past, the WC tendeg to focus on
sponsoring events and speakers.
Now that Tides of Change has taken
a leading role in sponsoring events
and women performers, the WC
wishes to focus on polit ical issues .
The reason for focusing on
political issues is to provide information regarding decisions that occur
on campus, and in local and state
government, which affect women. In
addition the WC will act as a liaison
for peo~le who want to become involved in the decision processes.
The WC has also begun to plan
their own events and to communicate with other S&A groups .
The first event will be a weekly informal brown-bag lunch beginning
on Thursday January 24, in the
Womens' Lounge, Lib. 3214, at
noon. The WC and the Counseling
Center will be co-sponsoring a s upport group every Wednesday 12: 30
to 2 p.m ., beginning on January 23
with the the location to still be
announced.
Co-sponsoring with EPIC the
Men's Center and Thursday Night
Fi lms, the WC is bringing back the
film Not a Love Siory, on Thursday ,
Januarv 31 at 7 and 9:30 p.m.
The - WC and Third World
Women are also planning something

the WC will act as a resource for
women who wish to work on their
own projects.
The WC needs the surveys mailed last month, completed a~d
returned, in order to meet your
needs. If you lost your survey, or
never received a survey , and wish to
express ~our opin ion, please stop by
the WC Lib. 3214 , or call 866-6000
ext. 6162.
The WC's hours are Monday 12
to 4 p.m., Tuesday 12 ta ~ 5 p.m.,
Wednesday 2 to 5 p.m., Thursday 12
to 3 p.m., and Friday 12 to 2p.m.
