What is Twisted Sister?
by Early Ewing and Sara Steffens
Following last week's graffiti
controversy, campus group Twisted Sister
has begun to organize students to take
action to prevent rape and other hate
crimes at Evergreen.
"I think that a lot of eyes ~ave been
opened this past week," says' Twisted
Sister Deanna Brown, who is also accused
of being one of the women who spraypainted graffiti on campus May 25, "I
think there's a lot of energy we can tap."
In a forum held Tuesday night in the
Housing Community Center, Brown and
Josette Thompson worked with students to
formulate a list of demands targeting
administrative action in response to rape
and sexual harassment on campus.
"We need something more than just
volunteers. We need the administration to
support this," said Thompson.
"We pay our money, it's their
responsibility to protect us, provide ...
services for us," said Twisted Sister Rus
Batten.

Lights to make
campus safer
by Clint Steele
The Facilities Building maintenance
staff have recently completed a capital
project costing nearly $65,000 to add
walkway lighting on campus.
In 1991, a personal safety DTF
chose 17 locations in the most critical
need of new lighting. Construction began
in September 1991 and ended in April
1993. Fifteen new walkway light poles and
two area lights were installed across the
campus. Six of the new walkway lights
were placed in. and around the Modular
housing area; four west of the outdoor
covered pavilion; another four at specific
locations in the main campus core and one
next to the handicap parking area of C-lot.
Two lights were affixed to buildings to
provide additional lighting at the Lecture
Halls and Com Building.
Coupled with this has been another
project to make repairs and corrections in
the existing walkway lighting systems. As
a result of this work, ' five additional
walkway light poles were added on
campus: one in C-lot, two near the
Housing Community Center, one east of

One of the foremost demands is that
Grievance Officers be trained about sexual
harassment and rape. Currently, there is no
mandatory training of Grievance Officers
in these issues.
"Right now, as it stands, I think ...
[the grievance procedure] is a worse
option than going to Thurston County which is really frightening," said Brown.
"The whole problem is, it [internal
judication] depends too much on the
whims of the Grievance Officer ... and not
enough on the system they need to be
following."
Twisted Sisters and other organizers
would like to see mandatory workshops
for incoming freshmen and other new
students on recognizing and preventing
rape and sexual harassment. "My safety on
this campus is more important than a
potential harasser's right to not be forced
into education," said Brown.
"A lot of people don't think about
acquaintance rape and the implications of
alcohol and conduct. .. ," said Brown.
Brown says that the college has the
responsibility to educate both the potential
harasser or rapist and potential targets of
that behavior.
"I can't learn when I'm in fear for
my life and I am faced constantly with
someone who raped me," said Twisted
Sister Katie Taft.
Another proposal is to train student

or faculty advocates to support people who
have reported incidents of rape, sexual
assault, or sexual harassment on campus.
Advocates would advise complainants of
their legal rights, explain the grievance
system, and provide referrals to support
groups or counseling students. Such
advocates could also be present during
grievance proceedings to support the
complainant.
"What I would like to see is people
getting a really deep understanding of

what harassment is, what rape is, including
date rape and acquaintance· rape, and
understanding what can happen to them if
they violate these things," .said Brown.
Other demands included the
formation of more support groups for
survivors and administrative apologies for
the way the graffiti case was handled.
When asked about the anger
expressed by maintenance workers
responsible for graffiti removal, Brown

activist Native American group which
advocates treaty rights.
On November 9, 1992 Peltier had an
appeal hearing before the 8th U.S. Circuit
of Appeals in St. Paul, Minn .. The court
said it will announce its decision in early
1993. For the present, Peltier remains in a
Fedral Penitentiary in Leavenworth,
Kansas, just outside of Lawrence, waiting
and hoping for another chance of freedom.

Another exposure reported
by Andrew Lyons

Sara Steffens was running late to
class last Tuesday. An ordeal many
students face and even half expect. But
while hurrying to class along the winding
path between A-dorm and the CAB, an
indecent exposer - an ordeal nobody
expects - was waiting.
"I saw the guy, and he was looking
at me kind of funny; so I said hi," said
Steffens. "Then he just opened his fly,
looked at me and started masturbating."
"Because I was sort of tired, it took
me a second to realize what was going,
on."
When she did realize what happened,
Steffeqs'lyelled "No!" and ran to the CAB

Steffens described the man as
wearing a Blue V -neck shirt, but says that
since she was tired and caught off guard
that she didn't get a very good description.
"He looked like your average

"I ran to the first floor [of the CAB]

Steffens, "so I ran to the second floor to

The Commission is asking parents to
take another look at their child car seat,
and their child, who is strapped into their
vehicle.
About 90 percent of child car seats
(infant seats, car seats and toddler booster
seats) are not correctly installed in cars,
according to information gathered across
the state at educational clinics sponsored
by the Traffic Safety Commission.
The reason so many child car seats
are incorrectly strapped in is because there
are so many different makes and models
of cars and so many different makes and

Parents are encouraged to call the
Traffic Safety Commission in Olympia at

Ana1YSlS

by Amanda Ray
The Portland chapter of Stopping
Violence Against Women (SVAW)
presented a documentary and a slide show
last Friday addressing the issues of
pornography and prostitution. Since then,
I have heard several people talk about
these complex issues. Some of the things
I have overheard, I think need to be
addressed and clarified.
For myself, being an antipornography feminist means being against
a $22-million-a-day industry which
perpetuates sexism, racism, homophobia
and classism. It means being against an
industry in which pictures and films of
actual rapes are sold legally in the USA as
pornography. These pictures and films are
then defined as "free speech," and the,
women surviving this abuse have no legal
recourse. It means being against an
industt;y\ that inv?lves the objectification
and the degradatiOn of women. It means .
being a~nst an industry that lid about
women'_s) bodies and about women's
sexuality: It means being against ;m

'

industry that hides behind the first
amendment, and that acts as if all the
women involved are there by choice.
Being against pornography does NOT
mean being against the women who are
abused in the industry.
All of the information I heard from
SV A W specifically targeted the industry
as one of inequality and did not attack the
women who are involved in the industry.
Many of the people active with SV AWare
also active with The Council for
Prostitution Alternatives in Portland,
Oregon. There is only one other
organization like the CPA in the USA that
works to help women get off the streets.
With all this in mind, I worked with
women from SV AW to bring material to
Evergreen that would serve to educate on
the inequalities and violence involved in
pornography, pimping and prostitution.
(NOTE: The information I used in this
letter was taken from one of SV AW' s
hand-outs).

his case is strongly advocated by former

The tinal speaker was one of the
most dynamic: Helen Wood, Director of
Satellite Data Processing and Distribution,
National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration (NOAA). She stressed the
necessity to cultivate an ability to step
back and find the humor in situations.
Perhaps the most valuable aspect of
the symposium was the opportunity to see
many women engaged in computer studies,
challenging the minority status of women
in technical fields. It was an opportunity to
make connections with other women in the
field and to realize that "I am not alone."
Each participant was expected to

benefit personally and professionally from
their participation and act as agents for
change at their home institutions. To this
end, participants were asked to give a
presentation at their home institutions. I
will give a brief presentation on Friday,
June 4, at 10 a.m. in L2610. Next fall I
will give a more thorough presentation,
along with ideas for bridging the gender
gap in sciences here at Evergreen. Any
interested parties are welcome to attend
either presentation.
Lovir;a Stephan practically lives in
the Computer Center and is always happy
to discuss gender issues and feminism.

AnalySIS
by Dagmar Growe

Still looking for exciting summer
plans? To learn a bunch of new things,
maybe some cross-cultural experience,
working to make this world a better place
for us?
You don't have to spend your
summer break on another continent to
meet people whose lives are lived in a
very different world that yours might be.
You can get that experience right here in
Olympia.
People whose mental illness turns
their world into a bizarre, Kafkaesque
place. Kids to whom a homeless shelter
means home, because the nightmare of
living in a car gets interrupted for a couple
of months. Young women whose only
hope of escaping abuse is to gain
independence, not through education or a
career, but through a welfare check.
People with no room of their own, no safe
place to rest or to keep their belongings disregarded, despised, unwanted. Life in a
war-zone; life as a homeless person.
Bread and Roses is an intentional
community of people who have been
trying to offer a place of safety and rest to
the homeless in Olympia since 1982.
Originally only providing hospitality for
women and families, and a meal to those
in need, they recently opened a new
facility downtown as a com~ined drop~in

center and a dining room. The drop-in
center not only offers some basic services
that are usually impossible logistics for
people without a home -laundry facilities,
showers, access to telephone, and a
mailing address_ but also a safe place to
spend some time and meet with your
friends. In the adjacent dining room, lunch
and dinner are served to eighty to one
hundred people each night.
Bread and Roses is operated on the
spirit of the Catholic Worker movement, a
movement that started in the '30s, and
emphasized human dignity, social justice,
and community living. The bulk of the
daily work is done by four to eight live-in
volunteers, who receive room, board and
stipend. This way not only are the
operating costs lower, which allows for
more to be shared with our friends in
need, but it is also a way of receiving
support in our daily struggles against a
system of institutionalized injustice.
To deal with our increased workload
we are in need of more volunteers. You
can come one or more times a week,
volunteering your time at the women's
guest house, at the kitchen, or at the dropin. Or you can live with us in exchange
for 25 to 30 hours of work weekly for two
or three months. It will be a summer you
won't forget- and won't regret, either!

by Setb ''Skippy'' Long
Oh the sorrow! Oh the humanity!
Woe is me, faithful BevHeads. Woe is
me for that miserable, repulsive and otherwise
lame season fmale.
'
Aaron really let us all down. No cliffhanger. No big secrets revealed. No mysterious bullets lodged betwixt Brandon's tender young ribs that leave us asking, "Who
shot B.W.?" for three months. Ack, I blame
myself.
No, really. I should have seen it coming. The schmaltz factor has been rising for
weeks now. Looking back on it all, I don't
understand how I could have missed it. The
absurd amount of flashbacks should have
tipped me off from the beginning.
All moping aside, on to the task at
hand.
BrandonandAndreadidn'tDoit. What
a pity. Not only do they both desperately
need to get laid, but they really do deserve
each other. You would be hard-pressed to
fmd a more deserving young couple.
Speaking of getting laid, you can all
rest easy knowing that David and Donna's
virginity is still safe and well intact. Both of
them are graduated and well on their way to
the fictitious California University without
ever having done The Nasty.
While I'm on the subject, did y'all see
the tension between Dylan and Brenda (Death
Rocker/Grunge Mama)? They came so close!
I was literally on the edge of my seat
screaming, "Don't do it Dylan! Think about
Kelly! Don't do it!" Luckily for all of us
Brenda-haters out here, our hero ("Wasn't he
in Buffy the Vampire Slayer?") was saved
from Brenda's evil clutches by his adoring-

if not slightly whacked-out - mother. Ah,
mothers. There's nothing quite like them.
Always there when you need them. Hi mom!
Kelly Taylor still sends me spinning. I
admit that I found myself knee deep in
schmaltz when she saw her father at the
commencement ceremony. A deeply profound and beautiful (to borrow the word
from fellow BevHead Pat) moment was had
by all.
Poor Steve. The guy just doesn't get
any respect. Did you see the sleazy award he
got at the Senior Breakfast? Like school on
Saturday - no class.
Getting back to that odious Senior
Breakfast. Did it remind anyone else of everything that is wrong with high school? I
couldn't help thinking, as I watched, that it
personified every loathsome characteristic
about my own high school experience. The
cliques, male dominance, financial prowess ... I'm wandering.
No, True Believers, this was not the
finale we hoped and prayed to the Big Hair
and Dockers God for. It was, at best, a colos-

sal let-down.
However, there has been one bright ray
of hope in the past two weeks. The season
finale ofMelrose Place was phenomenal! Full
of sex, greed, lust, jealousy, treachery, guns
and lies. What more could we have asked
for? Not a thing.
A cliff-hanger ending was exactly what
I needed. Television writers all over the
world have tried to find a better way to end a
season but the cliff-hanger remains supreme.
You just won't find any better method.
This one left us with all sorts of questions unanswered. Will J o and Jake break up
or stay together and continue drinking Coors
as if it were water?
Will Allison wake up and realize that
Keith is nothing more than every psychovillain wrapped up into one person?
When will Billy get his head out of his
ass and declare his unending and undying
love for Allison?
What new role will Amanda play as
building owner? Will she use her new power
to force Billy and Allison into sexual slavery
forever?
How long will it take for the producers
to get over their racism and give Rhonda
some air time outside of her love life?
And finally, when will the same producers realize that Matt needs a man?! Come
on guys, this is West Hollywood. My dog
could get a date! Get over it!
Well, that wraps up another year of
The Bev Report. I hope y'all have a joyous
summer. Keep watching, faithful ones, for
new episodes will soon be upon us and the
call of the wild rerun is indeed strong.
Seth "Skippy" Long has red hair.

heat loss, or more often accumulation of
heat, which is referred to as hyperthermia.
This complication can be attributed to the
actual air temperature, the humidity and/or
body heat created by physical exertion. When
the body fails to maintain normal body
temperature, or is unable to dissipate heat,
some form of heat illness may occur. It
manifests itself in one of these forms: .heat
cramps, heat exhaustion or heat stroke.
Heat cramps are small muscle spasms
often in the arms, legs, and abdomen. It is
usually the first indication of hyperthermia
and the easiest to treat
Heat exhaustion is characterized by

ashen, gray, or moist, clammy skin. Other
indications of this problem are disorientation
or unresponsiveness, seizures, exhaustion,
dizziness, nausea, headache, or shortness of
breath.
Heat stroke is the most severe condition. Signs and symptoms of heat stroke are
dry, red skin, core temperature greater than
105 degrees, extreme headache, vertigo, loss
of consciousness, and an increased heart
rate. This is a life threatening condition that
requires medical attention immediately.

TESC ·Social Contract
not above the laW
by Seth "Skippy" Long
"I think it's being handled internally
because it's a violation of the Conduct
Code and because the message was about
an ongoi~g campus concern." That was
Vice-President for Student Affairs Art
Costantino's explanation for the College's
decision not to pursue legal charges
against two women caught spray-painting
anti-rape slogans all over campus last
Tuesday. These women committed a class
B felony, caused thousands of dollars
worth of damage to the campus and
committed an act of violence against the
college community. Legal charges should
have been filed.
Costantino's explanation about the
Conduct Code is unacceptable. By saying
this, he makes the assumption that it and
the Social Contract are above state and
federal law. This is simply not the case.
Both documents are ideals to live up
to, not laws to be adhered to. By labeling
vandalism as a violation of the Conduct
Code, Costantino and the entire
administration are mocking federal and
state laws in addition to belittling the
crime that was committed.
The final part of Costantino's quote
speaks volumes about the way the college
deals with criminal acts here. In saying
that, " ... the message ~as about an
ongoing campus concern," he effectively
says that the college should deal with
embarrassing situations in-house so as to
keep our dirty laundry to ourselves.
This is common practice at
Evergreen and it must stop. While it may
seem, to some, that internal justice
preserves the public image of the college,
all it really does is tear us apart.
I can·think of no better example than
when a community member charges
another with rape.
The fact of the matter is that rape is
a crime. People can spend a long time in
jail for committing this act of violence.
The ramifications of a rape charge go far
beyond the here and now of a campus
community. The processes involved in
proving a charge of rape are complicated,
emotionally draining and difficult to
endure for all parties involved.
Nobody on this campus is qualified
to prove or disprove in legal terms that a
rape occurred. It is a violent crime with a

specific legal definition that should be
treated as such. Labeling rape as a
"grievance" diminishes the crime and turns
it into something much less than the
violence it is.
Evergreen should not be handling
crime internally. We do not have the
resources to cope with matters like this.
When a person claims to have been raped
at Evergreen, county authorities should be
notified and allowed to deal with the
charge in a legal manner.
Some would counter this idea by
saying that it places too much burden on
the plaintiff. Yes it does place burden on
the plaintiff: the burden of proof.
If somebody charges another person
with a crime as violent and as serious as
rape, they had better be prepared to prove
it. We cannot simply say, "Okay, we
believe you," and remove the defendant
from campus just because the person says
so. This medieval system of "justice" is as
unacceptable as rape itself. Innocent until
proven guilty is the only reasonable
method of obtaining justice because it
protects all parties equally.
The college should'immediately stop
pursuing grievance cases which involve
crimes. This is the arena for trained
advocates and law enforcement officials,
not educators.
Will justice be served for the college
or the two women? No. All that will be
accomplished is that, • once again,
Evergreen's dirty laundry will be cleaned
at home so nobody else can see it. And,
more importantly, a message will be sent
from Jane, Art and Les to vandals, rapists
and other campus criminals that says, "you
can do as you will because we don't want
to give the college bad press."
The bottom line is that crime is
unacceptable, even at Evergreen. The
college does not have the right, no matter
what the Conduct Code or the Social
Contract say, to constrain illegalities to our
little kangaroo "grievance" system. Under
no circumstances, do those documents
supersede state or federal law. We often
hear from our administrators that "We are
not above the law" here at Evergreen.
Why don't those administrators stop acting
as if they were?
Seth "Skippy" Long will be the new
CPJ Managing Editor. Oh, the horror!

Homage .to a recently
raped friend
frightening.
·
At last the screams ceased, leaving
only a helpless man laying on the ground
sobbing. Fifteen minutes, perhaps thirty
went by while he wept, slowly recovering
from the shock. Not knowing quite how to
comfort him, I sat there waiting for his
composure to return.
When it was over, we stood up and
left that formerly peaceful forest, that
wood now and forever haunted with the
echoes of his screams. Should I ever
return there, I know I will hear them
again.
To my beloved friend: I know some
will say your screams are the remorse of
your frustrated evil having lost its object.
Fuck them. I know better. I know your
screams are the anguish of your
unrecognized and spited virtues. It was by
these virtues you lived and loved; it was
these virtues they violated.
The struggle for your life and love
are not over. But whatever may come, my
brother, I stand with you.

by Luke Turner
On the morning of May 26, 1993, I
witnessed my best friend getting raped. It
lasted hours, seemingly forever, and
seemed too horrible for me to believe. It
all looked fake, like television or
something, because it was too terrifying
for me to take in as real. I actually smiled.
I even advised my friend while it
happened, pleading him not to resist lest
his attackers make it worse. Both he and I
stood completely helpless before his
rapists, knowing resistance would only
fuel their wrath.
Only two hours after it stopped did
he finally scream. Only then would he
acknowledge what had really happened to
him. He took my hand and said, "You
don't have to scream if you don't want
to,"
and suddenly began· screaming
himself. I clinched his hand in mine as he
fell to the ground, his body collapsing in
the throws of his horrible cries. His hand
trembled and jerked about while I held on.
And on. For so long I held on. The
screams kept coming, forcing themselves
out of his possessed body like harrowed
demons escaping from hell, and just as

Rupp's last CPJ forum
by Loren Rupp
It's the last CPJ of the year and I
am graduating. So I thought I'd leave you
folks with some departing thoughts. In
nearly four years here, I have acquired a
great deal of important knowledge. But
rather than bore you with the details, I feel
that it is important to explain how I have
incorporated this knowledge into my
everyday life. In short, I am making my
life an example for the rest of the world.
This may seem rather arrogant, but I will
explain.
Now as you may know, I am not a
person of color, I am not a woman, and do
not necessarily call myself queer. I am just
a college student, until Sunday. I have to
admit that sometimes on those forms
where the ask you your race, I often have
to stop myself from putting down
'human'. Nevertheless, I feel that I do
have some genuine observations about this
school.
I know that many of my fellow
greeners would choose to write about
important social issues such as
discrimination and prejudice based on
race, gender, or sexual orientation. Some
would want to address serious political
matters in our country and abroad. Others
would be concerned with issues about the
state of our environment. But at this point
I can only reflect on myself and what I
have learned.
Now I have to admit that when I
first came here, I was pretty ignorant
about a lot of these issues. Some would
have called me just another hippy, without
much of a social conscience. Indeed I am
probably guilty of many of the things that
I have been taught about here. Four years
of Evergreen has taught me a great deal

about racism, sexism, homophobia and
many other important issues. And I have
seen a lot of people here on a mission to
try and change the world - a difficult task
indeed.
However I have gradually come to
realize that I may not always be able to
change the world, but I can change
myself. I can start by living whatever kind
of life it is that is correct for me. So I do
set the example for the rest of the world.
Today, I am a recovering hippy. I
am just trying to create an environment
around myself that is free from
discrimination, prejudice or hate of any
kind. I aim for acceptance rather than
intolerance.
I am making peace my reality.
And my message to my fellow
greeners is to do the same for yourselves.
For those of you continuing on here at
Evergreen, I encourage you to look at your
own school as a place to practice your
work. It still amazes me that basically for
my entire career here at Evergreen, we
have had a no student government.
Evergreen is now swimming in the mire
institutional and administrative
bureaucracy. Students need to stand up
and take back control of their school. In
order to be heard, we need a strong,
unified voice. So my challenge to those
who remain, is to make governance a
reality next year at Evergreen.
Come Sunday I will go start creating
a reality that is acceptable and correct for
me. I encourage the rest of you to do the
same. Make it happen. Set the example!
Make it so.

Twisted Sisters have an attitude of change
by Susan Bohme and Deanna Brown

Twisted Sisters' (TS) decision to use
graffiti and pasted fliers as a media of
expression was influenced by several
factors, and was discussed to great length
before TS took action. TS have all worked '
on issues of rape, racism, sexism, and
homophobia through different channels,
including work with the Rape Response
Protocol Group, and various campus
student groups. They have attended public
forums at Evergreen and in the Olympia
community, and have made issues of
justice central in their education and in
their lives.
In their daily lives at TESC, TS
have felt this institution's lack of action
dealing with issues of , rape, racism,
homophobia, and sexual harassment. They
felt that despite the positive actions of
many groups and individuals, there were
still so many people out there who were
just not getting it. Rape and other hate
crimes are a reality on this campus, yet
thousands of eyes remain closed. TS
wanted to open those eyes while
expressing anger at rapists, bigots,
gaybashers, and sexual harassers. Graffiti
and wheat-pasted flyers were a direct and
assertive way to get the point across, and

Graffiti on campus considered a crime of hate
by David Peretz

Neo-nazis spray-paint swastikas in
the CAB and white supremacists distribute
flyers calling for racial purity by all means
necessary. Angry women vandalize
campus with death threats causing damage
in the thousands. These are all instances of
hate groups threatening others. The last
example happened Tuesday.
After reading of the death threat and
graffiti incident I decided to gather some
first ~and information. I toured the CAB
Friday evening paying particular attention
to the graffiti and flyers in the angry

women/rape/death threat categories. I
found numerous instances of both flyers
and graffiti containing death threats
relating to rape. In case anyone wanted to
know what rape was, this was posted as
well. Posted examples of rape included:
"Rape is any unwelcome sexual advance;"
"Rape is stripping a person, a group or a
community of a voice;" "Rape is the
·destruction of a community's identity or
culture;" "Rape is force of one group of
people's values or interests on to another
group of people" (apparently the last
definition doesn't apply to angry women

making death threats).
Forget for a moment the latitude of
interpretation within these definitions.
Concentrate instead on the fact that angry
women are a hate group. Their tactics are
identical to those of the neo-nazis and
white supremacists: anonymous postings
of their beliefs coupled with threats
against those they perceive as the problem.
All three hate groups have the identical
message: hate; and all call for the identical
solution: murder. Judge, Jury and
Executioners.
The college administration has a
duty to publicly identify individuals
responsible for any hate crime on campus.
This is particularly true when the campus
community is threatened from within.
Identify wtio the 'threat makers are, what
classes they attend and when, identify
where they live, especially if it is on
campus. As a starting point, I suggest the
Women's Center, CAB 206; above their
door is a sticker that says: "Fact: If you
rape me I will kill you." The college

community has a right to know who is
threatening their lives.
The Office of College Relations has
posted flyers on building entrances in the
past warning of exposure incidents on
campus trails. I believe this is an
appropriate action in response to a
correctly perceived danger. I also believe,
at a minimum, this action should extend to
death threats made by hate groups.
According to the May 27, 1993 issue
of the CPJ, one campus member acted
appropriately by reporting the graffiti
incident. Campus Public Safety fulfilled
their role by apprehending the suspects.
Now it is time for the administration to
demonstrate how it will handle the issues
of alerting the campus community to death
threats against its members, illegal hate
group activities and personal accountability
for the thousands of dollars in vandalism
done.

Graffiti shows a
lack of respect
To Jane Jervis:
Several staff members have
expressed concern and disbelief at the
recent decision not to prosecute the two
women who were caught spray painting
graffiti aU over the campus during the
evening and early morning hours on the
25th of May. We believe that the issue is
not about rape, as these women certainly
should be and deserve to be heard on such
a topic. The issue is more the format that
was used for expressing themselves. The
cost to the campus for the . clean-up is
outrageous and the cost to the health of
the individuals having to use and be
exposed to the chemicals that are needed
to clean the buildings is, in essence, a kind
of "rape" to us as staff members and
taxpayers in the community. We are in the
midst of a budget crisis where several
peop1e will be asked to "do more with
less" and some jobs will even be
eliminated. It seems completely unfair that
these women be given the message that
they can be allowed to proceed with their
anger by defacing buildings and having no
regard for the many individuals that have
the burden of too much work as it is
without having to spend countless hours
cleaning graffiti off of buildings. We
don't appreciate it or need it. Let's
prosecute for this crime against the entire
campus. This is not about rape.
Signed by 49 staff' members of' the
Evergreen community.

Graffiti part of a
larger issue

divided this campus. As long as this
incident and concerns about rape are
linked in the minds of so many members
of this campus community, we must not
separate them if we are to respond to
students' concerns with responsibility,
compassion, sincerity and good sense.
I particularly share your concern
about the burden that falls on our
buildings and grounds staff members when
this type of activity occurs. The work and
hazards they must endure in dealing with
defacement of our campus will certainly
be a factor for consideration through this
grievance process. I have sent a copy of
the petition from TESC staff members to
the Campus Grievance Officer so that she
can make it a part of her investigation. I
hope, in the end, that all of us will be able
to step back from our strong feelings, view
all the events objectively, and know that
the issue has been resolved in a way that
is educational, appropriate, and just.

Humor can be a
powerful tool
This is the last issue and everyone's
trying to be as smart ass as they possib~y
can since the next chance for a rebuttal IS
so far away. Everyone's trying to be funny
and cute by challenging pc-ness and all
that.
Humor is a powerful thing. It can be
used to make people comfortable and
happy or it can be used to hurt and
destroy. At this school it's often used to
challenge other people who seem to take
themselves too seriously. That's good.
But there's a fine line between
challenging to make a point and attacking
to hurt someone else. I personally know
that it's very easy to cross that line and I
apologize to the thousands that I've
offended in the past. I've learned that
there's a responsibility that comes with
using humor and satire.
.
Joking about rape or murder IS
neither satire nor productive to the
edification of our community. It's just
plain farney*. So until next year ... be
bumpy*.

I appreciate and share your concerns

to take this opportunity to explain the

our decision · not to pursue external
prosecution of the individuals involved.
First, it is important for you to know
that it is not our intent, and never has been

actions. The format they chose for

Response

KAOS staffer
defends station
For the past two months, I have
been shocked, angered and saddened as
KAOS has been vilified by members of
the S&A Board, and in the CPJ. I am
shocked because KAOS has been open
and honest about its mission to serve an
audience on and off campus with multicultural programming. I am angry because
KAOS's critics have never brought their
concerns to the station in any constructive
manner. 'And I am sad because I always
believed that Evergreen was immune from
this sort of ignorance and intolerance. The
controversy has turned KAOS's 20th
anniversary celebration year into one of
anguished self-defense.
The critics have repeatedly

misrepresented KAOS's mtsston and
intentions. In 1977, students conceived
KAOS's broad programming mission,
expanding audience service by involving
both student and community volunteers. In
1982, the Student Communications DTF
confirmed this mission, ' and directed that
the station should have professional
supervision for legal compliance, training,
and fundraising, while promoting
internship and programming opportunities
for students. The DTF also directed the
station to aggressively pursue external
funding. Following Evergreen's Strategic
Plan, KAOS embraced multiculturalism in
its programming in 1988. KAOS has
pursued these objectives openly and
successfully with the support of past S&A
Boards. The assertions of critics that
KAOS has sought to eliminate student
management, reduce student involvement,
move off campus, or become associated
with National Public Radio are simply
untrue.
KAOS 's critics have not educated
themselves about the station. In fall
quarter, the S&A Board's one-hour
orientation was reduced to 20 minutes. In
winter quarter, KAOS's management team
made itself available for a briefing with
the Board. The Board arrived 90 minutes
late, stayed 15 minutes, and asked almost
no questions. The S&A position on the
Communications Board went unfilled all
year. None of KAOS's detractors has
attended a single meeting of the
management team, the satellite or the
mission implementation groups. None of
them have spoken to KAOS's student
managers.
KAOS 's critics have completely
ignored the students who manage KAOS's
programming. Student Program Director
Diana Arens has spent the year facilitating
groups on satellite and mission
implementation.
She has sought out
people disenfranchised from the media,
especially women, and acted affirmatively
to place them in air shifts. Student
Production Manager Jody Daisa has
trained dozens of students in audio
production, and made possible live
broadcasts py dozens of local musicians.
Student Music Director Matthew Johnston
has worked tirelessly to acquire music
from small, independent, non-corporate,
truly alternative sources. Just as KAOS'
policies challenge our producers, I
challenge the critics to test their preconceptions and biases, approaching
alternative radio programming with an
open mind. •
KAOS's critics are ignorant of the
station's federally-mandated
responsibilities to the 100,000 citizens in
our service area. They cannot recognize
the elitism in their position that KAOS
should serve only students. This shallow
assertion encourages factionalism and

divides the community. KAOS· promotes

Skip says KAOS
critics right on
To Eric Anderson, Loren Rupp, et. al.:
I would like to thank you for your
insightful letters about the KAOS situation. Like you, I feel that campus radio
needs a change.
When I came to Evergreen in 1990,
I expected a college radio station run by
students and playing the music which stu.dents like to play and hear. What I have
found is a station which uses student
dollars to "program" for the greater
community. It also restrains the "programming" I might want to hear to late night
hours as if it were something to hide.
Evergreen students pay a great deal
of money to keep KAOS operating. However, 71 to 76 percent of that money goes
directly to paying professional .staff.
The professional staff at KAOS are
right in saying that the station provides an
important vehicle for marginalized peoples
to have their voices heard. It is also true
that KAOS is an exciting part of the greater Evergreen Community.
But what about the students who
fund the majority of the station's operations? How much input do we have at
KAOS?
The fact is that KAOS is not a college radio station and I think that the
current backlash against it is due in part to
this. Many students at Evergreen want a
college radio station. They do not want a
professionally staffed, KCMU/KPLUwannabe being run on their dime.
Maybe the college should look into
forming a second, campus-only, radio
station that could be run out of the
Housing Community Center. Here, student
DJs (not "programmers") could play and
say whatever they want. Because the signal would not be broadcast and sent via
the current cable antennae system, F(u)CC
rules would not apply. This station should
not be connected in any way with KAOS
so as to keep the missions of the two
stations completely separate.
At any rate, students are hopping
mad about KAOS and something needs to
be done. Maybe a new station. Maybe further cuts to KAOS. Maybe just a greater
understanding between the station and the
students who pay for it.

"as a community station, KAOS is twoway radio, serving as a broadcast outlet
for those segments of the Evergreen and
Thurston County community that have
been disenfranchised by commercial and
other educational non-commercial media,
including women, people of color,
physically challenged people, gay, lesbian,
bisexual and working class people. KAOS
broadcasts educational, informational,
cultural and entertainment programs
exploring political and social alternatives
for action. Priority is given to programs
which originate from and/or communicate
information about activities, issues and
events within the local service area.
Priority is given to perspectives supporting
the equality and self determination of all
people. News and public affairs have
priority for broadcast over other types of
programming."
Our music . policy says, in part,
"KAOS promotes material by new artists
and from small record companies which
receive little (if any) airplay in the United
States. 80 percent of all music played on
KAOS should come from sources other
than the six major record distributors."
The Satellite technology was pursued
in response to listeners' repeated requests
for news services at KAOS. Listeners have
matched the grant monies dollar for dollar
which suggests strong support for what we
are doing. KAOS would never consider a
program like World Cafe, or news from
NPR. Why run a three hour nationally
syndicated music program daily when our
own programmers (half of whom belong
to the TESC community) can create a far
more interesting and interactive program
within the mission and music policy of the
station? A show that bases musical choices
on Billboard top 100 is, in our opinion, the
antithesis of what community radio is
about which is to provide voice to those
whose voices are under served or unheard
in the other broadcast media. Are ratings
important to KAOS? Yes, but within our
mission only. If KAOS cared about money
only, we could easily become a
commercial styled station, run NPR and let
corporate America determine what is
played on KAOS which would guarantee
higher ratings. But it would violate the
guiding principles of our station. By
focussing on independent music and under
served voices, KAOS hopes to expand our
audience in the broadcast area but only to
the extend that our mission is upheld.
Finally, I am in full support of
CURSE and FOFF, and attempts by
Seattle and Bellingham residents to get •
their community radio station responsive

KCMU
Howdy. My name is Diana. For the
past year I have been the student Program
Director at· KAOS. I am in charge of the
format of the station, assigning air shifts,
hands-on air training, and the public
affairs schedule. It is with mixed feelings
that I have read the near constant criticism
of KAOS in the CPJ, from Loren Rupp's

article on the creeping conservatism at
KAOS to Mark Hosler's cruel appraisal of
Michael Huntsberger to a call for KAOS
to send back the "Muzak satellite" to Eric
Anderson's assertion that KAOS is being
taken over by corporate interests.
I am very glad that people care
enough about alternative media to form
radical organizations like CURSE (Seattle
KCMU watchgroup) and FoFF (Friends of
Free Form, Bellingham KUGS watchgroup). People need to get involved in the
media on a local level if there is to be any
hope of participatory cultural democracy.
However, the well-meaning criticisms of KAOS printed in the CPJ have
ranged from ill-informed to paranoid to
ludicrous. It upsets me, as a woman in
management, that not one of these male
authors bothered to engage me in a conversation about KAOS policies, mission,
management, programming, or goals before making wild proclamations on these
topics in print. Early Ewing once interviewed me for the CPJ, but neglected to
include my points in the article.
For the record, I have not spent my
year as Program Director organizing pens
and making elaborate plans to babysit the
satellite down-link. Winter Quarter, I
formed and facilitated the Satellite Implementation Group, which wrote radical programming policies based on the station's
mission of serving disenfranchised groups.
FoFF of Bellingham said the "well thought
out and well articulated recommendations
put at ease the minds of those fearing a
kind of creeping satellite take over a la
KCMU." (FoFF Radio Resistor's Bulletin. 6/93) Spring Quarter I formed and
facilitated the Mission Implementation
Group which wrote guidelines for a KAOS
listener/programmer board to participate in
station governance.
In an era where many community
radio stations are becoming more conservative, KAOS is becoming more radical.
Students benefit from the station not only
through direct participation, but also
through the diverse voices and musics the
station airs. The idea that only a certain
number of people can be involved in the
station at any given time (therefore the
students should oust the community members) is a myth of scarcity. At this point
two people complete on-air training each
week, and there are a zillion other important things to do at the station: newsgathering, production, doing sound for live
shows, music acquisition, . and soon, serving on the Mission Implementation
Committee.
If you have concerns KAOS, please
feel free to come to our open staff
meetings, Mondays at noon at Evergreen
in the CAB 3rd Floor Conference Room.
Love,
Diana Arens

It was enough of a hassle just getting to
the show that I figured I'd be lucky ifl got my
free tickets and photo pass, to hell with the
interview. After two weeks of schmoozing
some geek at A&M records and leaving four
messages at the Roseland's office that day, I
managed to talk to the promoter. He told me
that if I got my butt over there right away I
could talk to the band.
We spent a good 15 minutes
meandering around the Roseland trying to
find somebody important-looking. The only
person who looked remotely important
smelled like a goat and looked like a Bosnian
refugee (or a Mod hippie - same difference).
Nevertheless, he got us to the promoter and
Brendan Hill the band's drummer.

Brendan looked like we had just woke
him up from the best sleep he'd had in weeks
but despite his groggy look, he was polite and
friendly.
This new tour was being complicated
by the fact that John Popper, front man and
harp player extraordinaire, had injured
himself in a motorcycle accident about six
months ago. He was forced to perform from
a chrome bar stool every night and was
brought on and off stage in a wheelchair. But
in spite of this, the band was itching to get
deep into the funk of touring.
We sat down at a covered table outside
Cisco & Panchos and began to talk.
Brendan: So where are you guys from

by Sara Steffens
So you have a big boat/car with fins,
a couple cans of squirt cheese and an
Rand-McNalley U.S. atlas that your dog
peed on. A few bucks and an adventurous
spirit have just bought you a summer
RoadTrip.
Wait! Before you head out to Big
Sky Country, you must know that 3,000
miles of local AM radio could give you
permanent lock jaw. You will be sincerely
unpleased if you forget to bring your own
tunes on your RoadAdventure.
The Golden Principle of RoadTunes
is: Don't bring anything by Sting. All
you'll do is alienate your companions and
start to get prematurely•whiny. Memorize
the Golden Principle.
The following is a list of essential
RoadRock. Use it with love and don't
blame me.
•Frank Sinatra: Greatest Hits. I get
a kick out of Frank (ah, when they made
Real Men). Drive at least 20 mph under
the speed limit while you listen.
··CI:zuck Berry's Greatest Hits. You
can probably buy this at any Holiday
Superstation along the way.
•Nena Cherry, Raw Like Sushi.
Ultimately hip girl album of the world.

•Hoodoo Gurus, Stoneage Romeos.
A classic. Just buy it.
•Janis Joplin, Pearl.
•Violent Femmes, Untitled. The little
girl album, as it's popularly titled, will
keep your toes tappin' and your angst
raging. You should know all the words.
Nuff said.
•Ministry "Stigmata". Get an
extended mix if you can.
•Tom Waits: Bone Machine, Rain
Dogs, Nighthawks, Swordfish Trombones,

Blue Valentine, Big Time : Pack 'em all.
•lce-T "G.L.G.B.N.A.F.T": A must
for a RoadWandcr through middle
America. Bring Body Count in case you
get pulled over.
•James Brown - anything. If you
need me to explain this, you shouldn't be
RoadTripping.

Cruel World harkens to underground comix of yore
Q: Can underground comics come back?
A: Read and find out

The execution of Carl Jung is one of the many features in Jim Blanchard's new comic
Cruel World. All art ©Jim Blanchard.

by Bryan Connors
Attention all you comix fans out
there! No, I don't mean comics (Blondie,
Donald Duck, X-men, etc), I mean comix
(you know, stuff like Zap, Zippy The
Pinhead, and the Fabulous Furry Freak
Brothers, et. al).
Do I have a treat for you. It's a new
book called Cruel World, and it's cool.
Written and illustrated by Jim
Blanchard, who just happens to be one of
the art directors at Fantagraphic books
(Love & Rockets, Hate, Eight Ball, etc.),
Cruel World harkens back to the days of
R. Crumb; hilarious and not at all
politically correct (thank god).
As a matter of fact, if Jim plays his
cards right, this maybe a rediscovery of
the art form known as underground comix
- which mutated in to the all ambiguous
term "alternative comics" a few years
back.
Aw ... but don't think this is some
acid-soaked hodge-podge that passed as
comix back in the late '60s- this is a '90s
book ... with all the blood and gut ugliness
that goes with this here era.
Some of the stories in this book are
so colon busting funny, that you may
laugh your fool head off (just make sure
that you are in a safe place, though, in
case blood starts spurting out of your
neck).
But it's the art that really makes this
book. True to underground comix form,
there are bizarre segments and surreal
graphics aplenty. Jim's art is extremely
diverse and no two stories and segments

look the same. This ain't bad for a guy
who's from Texas.
So, boys and girls, I highly suggest
you run, don't walk, to your nearest comic
book store and ask ... no, demand you copy
of Jim Blanchard's Cruel World. And if
that comic shop is the unenlightened type,
then send $4 dollars (post paid) too:
Jim Blanchard (plug!)
P.O. Box 20321 (PLUG!!)

You 'II love yourself, I guarantee it.

What's up with
that Emi chick?
Well here we are at the end of
another school year, and there's something
I just can't keep to myself any longer. It's
that rotten Emi J. Kilburg! Just what are
those self-caricatures supposed to mean
anyway? I can't put my finger on it, but I
know in my heart that they are wrong.
And those cartoons of rats? Rats,
Miss Kilburg, have rights, too. Rodents
have often been portrayed in stereotypical
roles, why perpetuate it? I mean, you
might as well put them in a pair of red
shorts with two big white buttons on the
front!
Sincerely,
Rev. Andrew F. Lyons

such_ incidents this year, down from
previous years. But he added that, "It's a
cyclical thing, we could have more this
summer." According to Eddy, 99 percent
of exposers don't get caught. "There arc
so many places they can go," he said.
"They can sprint in any direction for fortyfive seconds, and we wouldn't know
where they went."
Still, Eddy stated that "speed in
reporting," is the best help they have in
capturing the perpetrator.
. Andrew Lyons is thus ending his
stznt on reporting on security issues with
this story.

Campus lights, (from cover)
contracted to outside firms, were designed
and engineered by the Shops staff.
It's been nice to receive comments
that the new lighting has added greatly to
those living on campus as well as those
using the campus facilities at night. There
will be even more walkway lights added in
the near future as the new Art Annex
addition is completed.
So, are you wondering just how
many walkway light poles there are on
campus? With the Art Annex completed,
there will be 310. That represents over
37,000 watts of lighting - and that does
not include the parking lot lights or the
Evergreen Parkway lighting.
I believe the College is committed to
making Evergreen a safer place. I hope
this article shed a little ... well ... light on
the subject.
Clint Steele is the Shops
Maintenance Supervisor.
