High-costs drive students
from campus Housing
by . Krisna Meneice
For the . first time in more than
eight years, there is no waiting list to get
into campus Housing. This fall, there are
roughly 20 empty beds.
The lack of residents in Housing
poses a threat on the financial future of
TESC Housing.
The Housing facility is selfsupporting and recognizes that the only
budget cutbacks it can make are to layoff
part of the staff.
With residents' utilities paid by
Housing, the ever-rising costs of these
services is putting the Housing
department between a rock and a hard
place.
This year, Housing's costs for
electricity increased 20 percent, and natural
gas increased five percent. Housing
responded by increasing overall rent rates
roughly 10 percent to compensate.
The higher rates encouraged
~llIdents to seek housing elsewhere, which
resulted in decreased revenue from rent.
As if the rise in utility rates
weren't enough to put Housing in
financial stress, tution costs have
increased while Financial Aid availability
became more restricted, making students
kss able to afford high Housing costs.
According to Chandler, "A lot of
students simply cannot come back this
full because they cannot afford increased
Housing costs." Later she stated, "What
we're hearing from students is that the
cost of education is too high for a number
of people." ·
Will you pay more to live in
Housing than off-campus? Privately
managed Cooper's Glen, just across the
street from Housing, rents an unfurnished
three-bedroom apartment for $545 a
month, which comes out to $182 per
room. This cost includes parking and
cable TV, but does not include electriCity,
which can range anywhere from $10 to
S4() per month, per person.
TESC Housing does not offer
three-bedroom apartments, but the rent per
room on a furnished four-bedroom
apartment is $280 per month, including
all utilities but not cable TV or parking (a
. quarterly F-Iot parking permit costs $22).
Housing is expecting even fewer
residents in winter and spring quarters
(this is a normal occurrence as students
drop out of college or move off-campus).
Many of the people who are
unhappy with Housing fail to report their
complaints directly to Housing. Chandler
states that if a student is unhappy with
Housing, talk to a staff member or an
Assistant Resident Manager (ARM).

x6132.

First Peoples' services undiminished
by Sara Steffens
Students of color can expect
undiminished service from First Peoples'
Advising, despite the resignation of former
director Eugene Fujimoto.
Most of Fujimoto's duties are being
taken over by Gary Wessels-Galbreath,
Coordinator of First Peoples' Peer
Support, Lena Kline, and Melissa Ponder,
who has been appoinred interim director of
First Peoples' mentoring program.
First Peoples' Advising provides a
variety of support serviees for students of
color at Evergreen, . including peer
c.:ounseling, one-on-one counseling and
dispute mediation. First Peoples' Advising
also presents quarterly workshops and
works in conjunction with First Peoples'
Recruitment, Housing, the Counseling
Center and Career Development.
"We call ourselves First Peoples to
celebrate who we are as people of color...
" said Wessels-Galbreath. "Also, it's an
opportunity to shed negative stereotypes of
language."
Although Galbreath said he now has

less time for one-on-one counseling, he
believes more students are going to the
peer counselors.
First Peoples' mentoring program
pairs up rust-year and transfer students of
color with faculty and staff of color. The
mentors are available to give support and
advice, and generally try to help students
of color succeed.
According to Wayne Au, a fourthyear Evergreen student and First Peoples'
volunteer, First Peoples' has seen an
increase in student interest this faU; their
orient<'ltion week activities also had greater
attendance than previous years.
A DTF (disappearing task force) has
been formed to find a replacement for
Fujimoto, who left to accept a job at
Dominican College, San Rafael,
Calif~~ia.
.
We hope"to ~ave a new director by
mld-~ovember, said Wessels-Galbreath,
who IS a member of the D1F. However,

. " It.s tough to hlfe for a poSition like
thiS, said Au (also a DTF member),
"We're not going to settle for just
anyone.".
Despite how busy they are on new
projects, many First Peoples' members and
dircctors still miss Fujimoto. "Dominican's
gain is our loss," said Wessels-Galbreath.
"We can't replace Eugene."

Personal phones invade Housing
l>y Rob Davis
In Housing apartments this year,
each bedroom must have a separate phone.
In some cases, this equals six phones for
.~ix people. So what happened?
"This was a college decision,
passed down to us when they decided to
rewire," declared Myrna Flory of US
West.
Historically, students shared phone
lines. US West charged each student $31
if they wished to cross-connect phones to
ring both in the student's bedroom and
Illuin area of an'apartment, in addition to a
$3 1 line installation fee. US West billed
~tlldents collectively and problems existed
with roommates who would skip off
wi thout paying their s hare, explained
Hohman .
"Over the summer, we changed the
strect addresses for every building on
campus," said Linda Hohman of Housing.
"Last year, 2700 Evergreen Parkway was
everyone's address, [rom the Library to the
Mods. COlJnty emergency teams such as
911 had no way to effectively respond in
1111 emcrge ncy."
The address change forced Housing
to decide between having every phone
hilled to each room or to the apartment a~
a whole.
"I wanted students to hav e
options," sa id Hohman. " We surveyed
Housing residents, and 65 percent had
private lines, not wanting to share with
roommates. The majority we polled
clearly preferred their own lines."
Students who did want to share a
I inc could get a cordless phone, suggested
Ilohman. She recommends against
exten sion cords, calling them "a safety
ha/.ard."
During the rewiring, US West
Illisca lculated the number of phone pairs.
"They either ran out of wire or time, but
th ey didn't let us know. We had so me
apartments hooked so that two or four of
the lines crossed, but the rest were
~e parate ," said Hohman. She emphasized
that students are not responsible for these
llIi shaps and should contact Housing
hefore they call US Wes t. "They should
lIot be billed for these modifications," she
\'x plained.

Emotions hit well ' past fever pitch
on Friday as timber industry workers,
environmentalists and a host of other
citizens, including approximately 50
greeners, turned out for a public hearing
on President Clinton's Option 9 plan in
Lacey.
The plan, drafted as a compromise
after a [orest conference in Ponland,
Oregon earlier in the year, allows for the
CULLing of 1.2 billion board feet from the
olel-growth ancient forests which exist
primarily in Washington, Oregon, and
northern California.
The timber industry believes it
falls far short of their demands to open up
logging in the ancient forests. They note
that the allotted amount constitutes a 90
percent reduction in timber from the levels
of the 1980s. Keep in mind that the
I 980s nearly ruined everything, especially
the ancient forests. Only 10 percent of the
forests remain.
"We're third, fourth and fifth
generation timber communtites who fear
for our jobs," said one man, "Clinton
slaps us in the face when he proposes job
retraining, He thinks that he can just buy
liS off. This is the social genocide of rural
America."
Well over 50 percent of the 104
people who spoke at the hearing favored
thc ~nvironmental standpoint, which
allows no further logging on the
lIlinuscule fragment of the ancient forests
which remain. Only two people who
spoke actually favored the existing plan.
Yet it seemed that nearly everyone there
cxpressed satisfaction that at least we
finally have a president willing to
acknowledge the dilemma and deal with it
accordingly.

of our humanity," said a man originally

Since being declared "dysfUllctional," the Public Safety department
has attempted to improve its service to the
campus community and repair its public
image.
In 1991, consultants Warrington
and Associates were hired by theCol\ege
to assess the efficacy of what was then
called Campus Security, They declared
Security "dysfunctional," and made a
variety of recommendations for
imp~vement, including extensive
retraining of officers.
"We have given seminars on
personal safety and crime prevention," said
Darwin Eddy, Acting Public Safety
Director."The issue of going to the full

The report also recommended that,

recommendation sparked an emotional

"I don't think we actually were

said Eddy.
"The magnitude of the changes
needed within the security group are such
that in our view, some of the individual
officers may not be able to adjust
satisfactorily," stated the report. No
personnel changes have occurred.
Warrington heavily stressed
improving interaction between the officers
and the campus community. Officers now
wear beige uniforms with a smaller badge,
despite the report's finding that, "a policeIypc badge is not necessary."
"The 'softer look' has its
disadvantages," said Eddy. "I've had one
person ask me if I was a janitor and
another ask me if I was the IT bus driver."
Public Safety had to abandon
student security patrols, a report
recommendation, due again to budget cuts.
"However, Housing Stewards and Student
Managers carry radios which student
patrols used, so we have an extra set of
eyes and ears out there," said Eddy.
Officers patrol the campus in a
police vehicle, on four police bikes and on
foot, as opposed to an almost all-vehicular
approach in the past. Warrington heavily
stressed such action so as to facilitate
rapport with students.
"We are working a lot better with
the community," said Eddy.

In 20 years, no ancient forests

One man who identified himself as
a UW graduate and small business owner
said, "We wouldn't be in this mess if the
Forestrv Service had adequately enforced
Endangered Species Acts during the
1980s. I'm willing to pay more for

alternative source of paper, energy, and

initially emerged from the audience, but
the loggers could not repudiate the fact
that hemp produces 4.1 times as much

a renewable resource.

What is sexual harassment?
by Lara Shepard-Blue
Academic sexual harassment.. . A
nationwide
epidemic.
Current
estimates ·suggest that at least 30 percent
of all undergraduate women in U.S,
colleges experience sexual harassment by
at least one professor, While it is
possible for male students to be sexually
harassed. surveys suggest that it is
extremely rare. Dziech and Weiner, in
"{he Lecherous Professor, point out that
sexual harassment by faculty members can
include a wide range of behavior. from
se xual comments, leering and
inappropriate touching, to blatant demands
I'or sex and sexual assault.
Sexual
ilarassment committed by faculty
me mbers aga inst students is commonly
rc fcrred to as "academic sexual
harassment." Although other forms of
sexual harassment also happen at colleges
(i.e .. between faculty and between
students). this senes of articles will focus
on the specific problem of faculty-to.

A 15 year-old vision is about to
take another step toward its fulfillment on
October 16 with the site dedication of the
Longhouse Cultural Education Center
(LCEC).
The dedication, featuring a concert
by Nat ive American fo lk/rock singer
Burry Saime Marie, will not only mark
the official recognition of the land, but as
'Long house Project coordinator Colleen
Ray said, will let the earth and all living
things in the area get ready for the
building.
The dichotomous project seeks to
bring elements of the area's rich
trnditional Native American culture
together with current technology to
relevant integral information from a wide
area to the Evergreen community.
Construction is scheduled to start in July
of 1994.
The building will feature two main
rooms with movable walls. The larger
room will seat approximately 100
sllIdents and can be divided into four
smaller rooms for seminars. The same
space can be used also for conferences and
cultural events. The smaller room will
seat 48 students and can be divided in half,
The Longhouse will house
state-of-the-art computers and teleconferencing facilities to expand the
multicultural learning ability of the
college. One of the uses envisioned is a
computer·operated clearing house to
repatriate Native American artifacts and
bones taken fTom gravesites with their
burial place.
The tenm longhouse refers to the
traditional center for c:;ommunity and
spiritual teaching indigenous to the
Northwest Native American culture. It is
found in areas of great cedar trees which
arc used in the construction.
The Longhouse Project was

conceived to house Native American and
Environmental classes in a culturally
significant building. During the planning
of the Longhouse Project, a considerable
amount of input came from the elders of
the local tribes to bring their heritage to
the project.
'
The official name, "The Longhouse
Cultural Education Center," is used to
differentiate this sbucture from traditional
longhouses because of the reverent ways
with which they are us~d. Thou~h t~e
LCEC will draw from thiS legacy, It WIll
be used to disseminate information to a
wider community.
"We have been trying," said Ray,
"to build an educational center from the
beginning that brings with it a strong
component that is based on the traditional
architectural style and a lot of the '
principles of a way of living, a culture of
respect and hospitalitv into the learning
environment ..
The $2.2 million project was
signed into the budget last spring by Gov.
Mike Lowry. Although the funds are not
part of the operations budget of the
college, they could be thre~tened with
delays if Initiative 601 or 602 IS passed.
In addition to the state funding, the
project also required local , federal. and
private funding . Much of thepnvate
funding will be used to bring in germane
artistic works. Ray mentioned that there
will be t-shirts available at the dedication
and the proceeds will go toward this fund.
John Paul Jones, Senior Principal
with the Seattle based Jones and Jones
Architects and the architect chosen by the
pla~ning committee to design the
building, will be at the site dedication.
Jones, a nationally acclaimed architect,
brings to the project a strong Native
American style. He will be bri~ging some
preliminary sketches of the buildmg to the
dedication for viewing.
Also at the dedication wiIJ be Burfy
Sainte Marie and the eight members of the
planning committee: Pauline Hillaire, Sid
White, Del McBride, Debra O 'Carroll,
Patti Zimmerman, Bear Holmes, Jon
Collier and Colleen Ray . In addition,
Mary Hillaire' s grandchi Idren will
perfonm the welcome song.
An invitation has been extended to
members of local tribes . Members of
Neah Bay, Yakima and other outlying
tribes, as well as students, faculty and
other interested people in the community
have also been invited.
Ray asked that the dedication of the
site not end on October 16, but continue
until the construction begins. She
encourages students and faculty to visit
the site during this time.

This poem by Chief Dan G90rge r~ff6Cts the
spirit of the Longhouse Project.
The beauty of the trees,
the softrless of the air,
the fragrance of the rgass,
speaks to me.
The summit of the mountain,
the thunder of the sky,
the rhythm of the sea,
speaks to me.
The faintness of the stars,
the freshness of the mroning,
the dew drop on the flower,
speaks to me,
The strength of fire,
the taste of salmon,
the trail of the sun,
And the life that never goes away,
They speak to me.
And my heart soars.

Excellent question, Ms. Zero!
Brava to you for such fortitude and clear
thinking! The answer to your question
"Arc the seasons capitalized?" is no. They
are not. The example you presented,
however, does require a capitalized season.
Usually when one writes evaluations, one
refers to a season in the context of a
particular quarter's title. Spring Quarter,
therefore, is a proper noun and requires
capiLalization.
If you were to speak of the seasons
in general in an evaluation, chey would
not be capitalized. Suppose you wrote,
"My work over the past year has been

Amnesty International is concerned
about the alleged "disappearance" on
August 10, 1993, of Jorge Antonio Careli
in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, after he was
detained by police.
According to the information
received by Amnesty International, Careli,
a medical employee, was last seen on
August 10 in the shanty town of
Varguinha.

At the time of Careli's
disappearance, the Rio de Janeiro civil
police were conducting a raid of
Varguinha.
Witnesses saw Care Ii making a
phone call, and also saw him being beaten
by police. The Rio de Janeiro civil police
deny that Careli was ever detained. People
of Varguinha allege that on the following
day, officers returned and threatened them
with beatings, and possibly death, if they
identified the officers.
Civil police involvement in "death
squad" killings and "disappearances" of
criminal suspects and "social undesirables"
have been well documented in Rio de
Janeiro.
Please, I ask you not to let security
forces get away with murder. Please
write the minister of justice and express
your concern over the disappearance of
Jorge Antonio Carcli. Pleas~ request an
in -depth and thorough investigation into
his whereabouts. Last, please request that
witnesses to this police attack on a citizen

emerge." Or perhaps you wanted to say,
·" Last fall was a really kind season;
because I was able to get credit for
following Jerry." In these cases, the
seasons are used as common nouns and
don't deserve capitals.
While we're on the subject of
seasons, Lovi~a would like inform all
students who are new to the area that
seasons in the glorious Pacific Northwest
are a state of mind, rather that a climatic
change. (Or .climactic, for that matter.)
Which brings us to another capitalization
issue: directions. (They pop up
everYWhere, don't they?) If you had been
paying attention, you might have noticed
that Pacific Northwest was, in fact, given
capitals. This is again because it is a
proper noun , indicating the name of an
area or place. Vanessa really wants to use
John Cougar Mellencamp's song "The
Great Midwest" as an example, but it's
not a very good one; it would be
capiLalized anyway, since it's a song title.
The situations where you do not
capitalize north/south/east/west are more
numerous than the ones where you do.
The reasons for this are a bit more
complicated, so you'll have to wait until
next time to find out the answer. We're
sorry. to keep you hanging, but we can't
bear to address the topic without giving it
the attention it deserves. Until then, keep

very year, a lot of people make a
huge mistake on their taxes. They
don't take advantage of tax deferral and
wind up sending Uncle Sam money they
could be saving for retirement.
Fortunately, that's a mistake you can
easily avoid with TlAA-CREF SRAs.
SRAs not only ease your current taxbite, they offer a remarkably easy way
to build retirement income-especially
for the "extras" that your regular pension
and Social Security benefits may riot
. cov~r. Because your contributions are
made in before-tax dollars, you pay less
taxes now. And since all earnings on
your SRA are tax-deferred as well, the
money you don't send to Washington
works even harder for you. Down the
road, that can make a dramatic difference
in your quality of life.
What else makes SRAs so special?
A range of allocation choices-from the
guaranteed security of TlAA to the
diversified investment accounts of
CREF's variable annuity-all backed
by the nation's number one retirement
system.

rewarding retirement? Call today and

Alumna forms OTF

As with many \vonderful things, I
appreciate Evergreen more and more the
longer I am away from it. At the time [just
wanted to finish school and be done with it,
but now that I am out here in the world of
public education I often think I would give
my left kidney to spend just one more year at
TESC.
Anyhow. I wanted to share one little
way in which TESCs influence has spi ll ed
ou t beyond Olympia. I teach fourth grade in
Albuquerque, New Mexico, and our school
is in the process of restructuring towards
teacher-directed management.
A couple of weeks ago. some geniuses proposed forming a committee to resolve disputes between and among teaching
teams, a nightmare of a committee if ever
there was one. I stepped out on a limb and
said, look, why invite disputes') If something
comes up that needs to be dealt with, let'sjust
create a Disappearing Task Force to deal
with it, and then dissolve. WelL I am pleased
to say this idea was about as well received as,
say, a pay raise for teachers, and DTFs are
now a reality at Eugene Field Elementary.
So there you have it. Li ving proof that
a college education works. When the mildew
reaches your armpits, take a roadtrip south
and help spread the good word.
And bring me some smoked salmon.

heard friends of Color say they were expecting
a more Colorful Evergreen. Also, the Queer
Boy, being the only student that's male and
queer and focused on (or not focused on),
represents Bi gal and lesbian visibility very
well, 'eh. Remember there are no Queer
Women at TESC; Olympia isjust the Dyke
Capital of amerikkka (as Gary would say).
As for the CPJ (previous to this past
issue), let me count thy gripes. Most queer
stories are writen by queers or the occasional
semi-enlightened het (how enlightened or
active can a het be, I should say?) Actually
the CPJ does more to address queer issues
than that ofhet People of Color or het disabled
issues. But, there is always room for
improvement on all issues which they (we)
realize.
Come Out to celebrate, downtown at
Sylvester Park where South Puget Sound
queer organizations are sponsoring Coming
Out Day on October 10, but not at Evergreen.
Long live the Positive, an assumed to
be Negative!'

Tips on dealing with ·Evergreeo ··bureaucracy and 'speech'
by Cameron Rose
This 'week I have seen a lot of first
year students wandering about' angry and
frustrated. So as someone who's been here
for four years allow me to share with you
some things I've observed.
Tips on dealing with Financial Aid:
I )Copy everything. Once you hand over
documents to the employees of Financial
Aid it is not a guarantee it will end up where
they say it will end up. In fact, in a group
discussion several students of Evergreen and
victims of Financial Aid realized each had
Financial Aid lose one document every
quarter. I suspect they have some quota to
fill. Call or stop in at least a week after you've
turned it all in to see what's been lost. Grants,
loans, work study, entire lives have been
destroyed so that Financial Aid can fill it's
lost document quota.
2) Bring something to read or homework to
do. You're gonna be there a long time. On
Tuesday September 28, I went to check on
my loan. It had been delayed the previous
week because financial aid had lost one of
my documents. It took some woman a little
under 20 minutes to tell me they had lost that
same document again. And when I told her
I had filled out not one but two copies of that
particular document it took her another 20
minutes to confirm this with fellow
employees. You could time these people
with calendars.
Tips on dealing with Media Loan:
I )Check everything before you leave. Most
of the equipment is in less than perfect shape
and most employees don't know and don't
care how the equipment works. If you get it
by Matt Reeves
My first week of school was a
nightmare, something along the lines of those
anxiety dreams you have where you come to
school one morning and find out you have
missed some unspecified amount of class,
that you are behind and have little hope of
catching up, that you are naked, etc.
It started a couple of ' months ago
when I found out Evergreen had canceled
German. Why would a school cancel
German?ltseemscrazy, nightmarish. I wrote
an angry letter to Jane Jervis. telling her that
it had been one 9f my goals to become
proficient in German by the time I graduated
from Evergreen, and that it was foolish and
wrong to cancel a language class. After all,
Germany is a major industrial nation and
German is spoken by millions and millions
of people all over Central and Eastern Europe.
She wrote me back telling me that she was
sorry, and explained the budget cutbacks and
so forth. I was suitably impressed with the
tone of the letter, and I was prepared to
consider forgiving Evergreen for being so
dismal.
But then registration came and I
registered for South and put myself on the
waiting list for Happy Talk, Graven Images.
I checked, and I was the second to last person
on the waiting list, in a class that only took 25
and had a solid 24 enrollment already. It
looked grim, and it was. Both South and
Happy Talk held their first classes on Tuesday,
so I went to both classes like you're supposed
to do. The faculty for Happy Talk told me not
to bother coming back; they were all filled
up. And South turned out to be not what [
, wanted at all. I registered for it on a whim

Another doomed at Evergreen; yes, .it could happen to you
after all, because there was nothing else.
So what to do? I panicked, and began
calling faculty and begging them on their
voice mail units to please give me a contract.
It was very humiliating, because I begged,
literally begged, over the phone and got no
calls back. Really though. I didn't want to
take a contract. I took one a year ago and
didn't enjoy it. Taking a contract was lonely.
And besides, I shouldn't have to take a
contract.
So on Wednesday I went back to

Your help could make registration faster
by Arnaldo Rodriguez
During the last academic year the
Registration and Records Office collected a
large number of suggestions and criticisms
from current students about the registration
process we use at the college. In addition, the
phone company has expressed their reservations about the way we schedule appoint~
ments for registration over the phone and the
phone registration process itself. The
college's switchboard has informed us ofthe
tremendous 'stress our phone procedures create for that office.
Since last spring, members of the
Registration and Records Office, Computer
and Communications Services and the Dean
of Enrollment Services have been meeting to
assess the current system and explore new
options. It is clear that we need to make some
changes as early as Winter Quarter's registration.
We believe that the way to address the
concerns of students, the phone company
and our own staff is to create a process that

allows groupings of students to have access to
the phone system at specified times. For example, the overwhelming majority of students who gav6 us written comments want to
have a registration priority system based on
the number of credits earned. Under this
system, students with 135 credits and above
would register first, those with 90 to 134
credits would register second, those with 45
to 89 credits would register third, and those
with 44 credits or less would register last.
However, our assessment indicates that even
this priority system would need to be refined
further to meet the demands of our phone
system and current staffing.
We would like to gather as many
creative suggestions as possible about how
we might respond to this very real problem.
We have scheduled four forums to collect
student opinions. Whatever system we finally choose will affect you, so we hope that

WashPIRG: .it's a funny little name,
but find out what it's about
by Eric Penner Haury
Wash PIRG - it' s a funny little name,
but it stands for an organization dedicated to
improvin'g our society. For those who don't
know, the name stands for The Washington
[State1Public Interest Research Group, and it
is a student-run group, focusing on
environmental, democratic, hunger and
consumer rights issues.
Last year, we organized the Hunger
Clean-Up, in which we collected over $2000
for hunger relief while volunteering at various
local relief agencies. We produced a Recycled
Paper Products Guide for the Olympia area.
We held petition drives in support of real
national campaign finance reform and the
renewal of the Endangered Species Act, to
name just two issues. All the while, we were
learning how to organize in a way that makes
a difference.
The work continues this quarter.
Although we have to make the final choice as
to which issues to pursue, the likely issues
include the fight to preserve our ancient
forests, which, we have actually started doing
by rallying people to testify at a public
hearing. Also, we shall again try to ensure
the passage of the Endangered Species Act,
a law that some interest groups and
representatives are determined to destroy.
The Buy Recycled campaign will try to
encourage governments and big
organizatio'ns to buy recycled paper, which
will result in lower recycled paper prices for
us all. WashPIRG will definitely be putting
out a Toy Safety report, so one potential
project would be to get it into as many hands
as possible; who knows, it could save lives!
Some of the other proposals we were kicking
around involved plastics recycling and
opposition to NAFf A. If any of these issues
grab you, then come to our General Interest
Meeting. It will be held Tuesday, October 12
at 6 p.m. in CAB 108. If you can't wait and
want to get involved now, contact us at
x6058 or stop by Library 3228. United, we
can make a better world.

the WashPIRG newsletter af. TESC.

FRESH
DONUTS
ON THE WESTSIDE
by Cindy Laughlin
Three years ago when I began my
first year at Evergreen, I didn't think there
was anything to do in Olympia except for
drink Rhinelander or Lucky beer at parties
,md occasionally (at least one a week), see
<I
movie. However intellectually
stimulating those Lucky bottle caps are, I
have graduated now to a number of
illlported and domestic brews that actually
necd a bottle cap opener in order to
consume. I still do see quite a few motion
pictures, but in order to hone my physics
and geometry skills, I have discovered
Ihere is a delightful pastime that some call
pocket billiards and most call pool which
creates hours of diversion from those
dreaded seminar preparation pa~rs and
research projects.
If you are underage in Oly town,
there aren't many inexpensive
establishments to develop your shark-like
ski lls. Where I began playing pool is a
quaint little dive known as The Pit (no,
1I0t of the peach variety, Bev-heads).
Located on the bottom floor of A-dorm,
this recently re-felted table (yes, only one)
has become somewhat of a gathering for
social outcasts and assorted local cretins.
T he wait is long (don't even think about it
011 Friday or Saturday nights), the table is
not Oat (but gives a home field advantage
10 Ihose who play the table daily), the
c ues arc far from straight, and SMITH
doesn't come around any more. And how's
a girl to get her daily ration of second
hand-smoke, anyway? For you early risers
(and those who never go to sleep), this
lame table is, however, the only choice
available for those early morning hours.
One especially positive aspect of this ritzy
locale is that it's really easy to drink there
- if you're somewhat sly.
For all you lady sharks out there,
lhe place to go on Mondays and
Wednesdays is Rraq·Em's right off the
freeway at Pacific Ave. This new family
or ie nted pool and dart haJl has 16 new
tables and is open almost as late as the
bars are. Good luck bringing your partner
though , at $3.60 per hour, this place ain't
cheap (two gents $5.60 per hour).
However, if you like playing hours upon
end, Monday through Thursday you can
play all day for just 7 bucks.
If tournl;\Illents are more your style,
check out Olympia Billiards one
block west of Ralph's Thriftway on State.
. I've only played there during the
afternoon, but I guess its seven tables (5.fifty cents eoin-op and 2 - $2 per person
per hour) attract a large underage crowd
after dark.
The

For you drinkers and dIivers, the
logical place to shoot is of course the
closest - Whiskers, located a short
swervy drive from F lot at Kaiser and Mu4
Bay (watch out for the first turn after the
stop sign, my pal totalled his car there) the tables are nice, the many imported
beers increase your playing skills, and like
me, you might meet a cowboy with a belt
buclde the size of his head.
.
For those who don't care much for
good beer or young company (or if you're
feeling particularly daring), The
Brotherhood on Capitol and State
might be a good place to venture. At only
two bits per game, their table is usually
occupied, but get on the waiting list and
brave conversation with people who can
tell you drinking stories of before you
were born.
My personal favorite in pool hall
action and excitement (you can do your
laundry there, too) is The Eastside
Club Tavern on 4th Ave. Their five
hourly tables (two bucks an hour) arid two
coin-operated (.50) tables make it a short
wait, if any, to hustle your way to yet
another micro-brew from that cute boy (or
girl) who didn't think a pretty young thing
like yourself could actually bridge a cue
properly. I've never been there on a
Thursday (meat-market) night as of yet,
but I hear that it's slim pickin's on those
beautiful tables when the swea t and
hormones fill the air.

My hour in the chair...
by Benjamin D. Burland
... Anyway, so in this nightmare
I'm strapped to a chair and I'm not
allowed to move. The air is smoke laden
and the sloppy din of the Melvins blares
in the background. Suddenly, a man
wielding an archaic yet strangely futuristic
tool emerges from the back room.
"Hold still," he warns me, his
voice at once a mutter and a growl. Then,
in one deft motion, he brings the horrific
device to my arm.
"What has vanity wrought upon
me?" is my final t}lought, as the red hot
needle protruding from the gun pokes my
tender flesh. and then impales it,
repeated Iy, at a rate of one hundred times a
second.
Pretty scary, huh? Well guess
what? It warn't no dream. It was real!
The uninitiated amongst you are no
doubt wondering what would compel a
fellow like myself, or anyone with a
reasonably sound mind, to endure the
agony of a tattoo. Well, if you don't
knqw, I'll tell you, baby; in one word or
less: fashion.
Let's face it: tattoos are the hot
body accessory of the nineties and they're
only getting bigger. Sure, piercing is on
the up-swing and even the dreaded
scarification is enjoying something of a
renaissance. But tattoos are where it's at.
"Why?", the pundits out there may
be asking. Well, it just so happen.s I have
compiled a list addressing that very query.
Top Seven Reasons Why
Tattoos Are Where It's At
I. They can be pretty or scary or trippy or
just plain fun to look at.
2. They act as a permanent illustration of
your wild college years. Who needs a
scrapbook?
3. They act as a beacon that
simultaneously attracts cool people while
repelling squares, straights, suits,
employers and other lame-ass sellouts.
4. They assure you instant credibility (and
even camaraderie) amongst punk rockers,
skaters, grungy-type people, riot gmls,
hippies, etc. i.e. Before my "skin art," I
couldn't get the time of day from those
chain-on-the-wallet, baggy pants wearin',
blue hair type people who hang out
downtown at the Smithfield. Now I'm the
fuckin' darling of the Oly punk ro~k
community. Just ask 'em, those freaks
love me.. Now all I have to do is get a
nose ring and a
CAT hat, and I'll

be bigger than Jesus.
. S. They provide you with a versatile
means of camouflage when travelling in
potentially hostile territories. You got
long hiUr and 'maybe an earring? Show up
in Aberdeen and you might get drawn and
quartered as a suspected Earth-First, hippy
subversive. But arrive with your dermal
colors flying at full mast (and perhaps an
"Oly: It's The Water" T-shirt to complete
the disguise} and even the most grisly,
inbred lookin' logger type is bound to
clasp you to his/her hairy bosom and drag
you off for drinks at the V.F.W.
6. Your parents (regardless of whether
they used to be hippies) will hate it. The
more liberal varieties may offer an
ambiguous appraisal such as, "Oh ... that's
very interesting. Did you design that
yourself?" But deep down, they'll hate it.
Warning: Those of you whose parents
lean more towards the conservative side of
the proverbial fence may want to pause
and think good and hard on the' wisdom of
getting a tattoo. If said parents play any
pan in financing your schooling, it may
not be such a hot idea. Don't sulk, there's
always the Cracker Jack variety.
7. (And perhaps the best reason of all)
The endorphin rush! Yeah, yeah, so it
stings a wee bit, quit your blubberin'; the
pain you endure is more than compensated
for by the fantastic (and totally natural)
rush you get from that pokey little needle.
And the more it hurts, the better the high.
I definitely don't consider myself a
masoc;hist, but when the deed was do~e, it

left me wanting more ... More ... MORE!
And there you have it:. seven plenty
good reasons to get yoUrself a tattoo. Oh
yeah, if you do decide to get one, you
should have it done at Pierre's Electric,
Rose downtown, 'cause they're nice, very
sterile and good with the guns. Also,
they're local, which is important since
Oly sure needs our money, or at least
somebody's money.
So, in closing, heed my sound
advice. Smash that little ceramic pig,
hustle down to the Electric Rose and get
yourself some ink.
P.S. For all you disease minded
people out there (and I hope you all are):
you cannot get AIDS from a professional
tattoo gun, as the compressors are too hot
and kill that pesky virus, The one you got
to watch out for is hepatitis, which is
more resilient. So make sure the parlor

precautions, like they do at the ElectrIC

Dazed and Confused, the new film
by Richard Linklater (Slacker) deals with
Ilne of the least familiar and yet most
heart-rending tragedies in American
history: the lost half-generation who came
. of age in the mid-seventies. Too late for
till: 60s, too soon for punk rock, these
poor kids swapping their first kisses in
the disappointed twilight of the postWatergate era grew up in a void.
Condemned to wander the earth dazed and
wnfused, they exist rather than live,
hamstrung by a tragic lack of a group
identity.
I was there.
Let me paint a picture. The
basement is full of pot smoke. Young
men with pukka shells, fluffy, blow-dried
hair, and pimples, sit hunched around a
low table, staring at a tray of Columbo
and a bong. Houses of the Holies darkens
th(~ room while upstairs someone's mom
blissfully vacuums the living room. I'm
passed the bong for the fourteenth time.

down in the closet until the lizard

If you have already looked over the
Calendar page, you may have noticed that
Tuesday is missing. At this very moment
you may be wondering, "what happened to
Tuesday?" Maybe you were even a little
worried about it.
Well, no one has turned in
anything for Tuesday, so until then it has
been banished from the Calendar page.
But you can change all that.
Submit to the Calendar page. It's easy and
fun to do.
Sure, you've tried some of those
get-rich-quick schemes before, and maybe
you even got burned a couple of times;
but with my simple "six step method"
success can still be in your grasp.
First: Plan an event, such as a
performance, public lecture, discussion,
nlve, cat shaving contest, etc, etc, etc.
Second: Think to yourself,
" hmm, the success of pulling off this
event that I have just planned hinges on
it's promotion in a prominent community
bulletin. "
Third: Notice the Calendar page
of the CPl. Marvel at how it simply yet
effectively lists a bevy of different
functions and gatherings.
Fourth: Proclaim loudly and in a
public area," Why, that is it! I shall make
haste to announce my event in the CP1
Calendar, for r am aware of the deadline,
which is Friday at noon!"
Fifth: Do as you have just
claimed; people are watching.
Sixth: Reap the rewards.

instead try to cope with the harassment by
ignoring it, avoiding contact with the
offending faculty member, or by changing
classes. The main barriers to reporting
sexual harassment by faculty m'e mbers '
involve power imbalances between
students and facuIty members. Power
imbalances in society can combine with
power imbalances in the hierarchy of a
college. The relative powerlessness of
victims makes them fear that if they
complain, they won 't be believed, or that
the college will support the faculty
member, not them.
Power imbalances in society.
Sexual harassment occurs within the
context of a society in which men hold
the majority of the power, and women are
devalued and discriminated against. Our
society teaches men to be aggressive and
to use sex as a way of maintaining power
over women. In tum, women are taught
to be passive, to devalue our own
experiences, and to be silent about our
own abuse. Racism, classism and
homophobia can also intensify the effects
of sexual harassment on women, and can
limit women's access to effective
recourse. While middle-class white
students might have some measure of
trust that administrators will come to their
aid when they are sexually harassed, the
experience of other women, particularly
women of color, ofte n leads them to
believe the opposite.

Student-Faculty power imbalances. Sexual harassment by faculty
members is fundamentally about the abuse
of power. FacuIty members hold both
direct power and implied power !Jver
students. Direct power refers to the ways
in which faculty members can influence
students' lives and ambitions directly,
such as through evaluations and
recommendations. There is, however, a
great deal of implied power and status in
the position of "professor."
OUf society tends to mystify the
role of the professor as the "keeper of
wisdom." Professors enjoy tremendous
autonomy concerning the way in which
they carry out their jobs. In contrast,
students have often been taught to "do
what the teacher says," and are, in large
part, dependent on faculty members'
approval for their academic success. This
relative vulnerabili ty of students often
makes them fear retaliation when they
complain of inappropriate behavior by a
faculty member.
Evergreen. Unfortunately, the
Office of Research and Planning has never
issued a survey to find out how many
students, staff or faculty have experienced
sexual harassment at Evergreen. Until
sut:h a survey is conducted, it will be hard
to gauge the !rue severity of the problem,
or to measure the effectiveness of sexual
harassment prevention programs. Women
at Evergreen suggest that academic sexual

harassment is at least as prevalent here as
at other colleges. Evergreen's Mftnnative
Action Officer, Ermelindo Escobedo,
estimates that he receives an average of
two calls per week complaining of sexual
harassment. Later articles wilf discuss the
i1 iSLOry of Evergreen's respon's e to
academic sexual harassment, focusing on
spedfic cases and on the efforts of various
g roups of people who have raised the
issue and organized to prevent sexual
harassment here.
Fighting Hack. Women are not the
helpless victims of sexual harassment, and
many have reclaimed their power and
successfully fought back. The next article
in this series will discuss effective ways
of stopping sexual harassment.
