,THE EvERGREEN STATE C()LLEGE

by Early Ewing
An Evergreen student was found
dead on April 6, at 4:30 a.m., in the
Modular Housing area. According to the
Thurston County Sheriff's field investiga·
tion report, a witness at the scene reported
the deceased had used heroin earlier in the
evening and that no known assault or
injury had occurred.
"Foul play is not being considered at
this point in the investigation," said Thurston County Detective John Price.
The deceased is Patrick Wilcox, a
20-year-old, third-year student from Northhampton, Massachusetts. Witnesses in the
parking area reported hearing screaming
from the unit and then saw the body being
moved from the unit to the laundry facility, according to the Sheriffs report. The
call to 911 was placed from a phone in the
laundry room.
"They had to get him out of the
craziness of the house," said a friend of
Wilcox, regarding one of the attempts to
revive him.
Jill Brewster was the police officer
on duty and responded to the 911 call

reporting a male subject not breathing.
Public Safety arrived in advance of the
two aid cars and tried to revive him, as
did the medics when they arrived.
An autopsy was performed on the
morning of April 6. The cause of death
cannot be officially determined until the
Coroner's office receives the results of the
microscopy.
"That's what they'll need to confum
what substance was involved," said Gary
Russell, Chief of Public Safety.
"We know ... there's some indication
there is some drug use," said Russell, "we
know that his death was in the general
proximity to the time frame, and so that's
what they're looking at."
Russell declined to comment on
what drug was indicated, as did Sandy
Hanson, Director of College Relations.
"Drug use is suspected," said Hanson. However, the Sheriffs report includes
the statements from six people stating that
Wilcox did take heroin that night.
Further investigation of the death
will be performed by the Thurston County
Sheriffs Department.

Legislature, ' Governor draft higher education proposals
by Robert Taylor
Proposals drafted by both Governor
Mike Lowry and the State Senate for the
1993-95 state budget will cut the money
TESC and all other will have to spend for
the next two years.
In addition lO these alternative and
occasionally conflicting proposals, Rep.
Ken Jacobsen (D-SeattIe), chairman of the
House Higher Education committee,
unveiled an alternative proposal for higher
education financing and budgeting that
raises tuition and funding for TESC.
Governor Lowry's proposal would
impose a eight percent budget cut on
Evergreen. Ann Daley, Director r of the
Office of Manag~ment of Budget, the ,
agency responsible for the budget,
commented that, "higher education is a
significant part of state expenditures, and
we had to make budget cuts evenly. Most
state agencies received a ten percent
budget cut; higher ed. got a seven percent
cut. We had to solve our budget problems
as fairly as possible."
The governor's budget proposal also
includes a seventeen percent tuition hike in
1993-94 and a thirteen percent hike in
1994-95.

Will students get soaked?
Evergreen students face tuition increases over the next two years. Just
how much depends on whose budget
proposal you look at. These are the
three current plans.

32.8% increase
$2370/year*
Rep. Ken Jacobsen:
74.0% increase
$3106Iyear*

"We felt that students who could pay
more should," said Daley, "and so of the
92 million dollars we will be collecting in
tuition, 80 million will be returned in
financial aid. Students coming from a
family of four making less than $27,000
dollars per year will be held harmless by
the tuition increases."

This budget does not add any
enrollment to state universities or colleges
because, according to Daley, "enrollment
increases fell off the table when our
revenues decreased." In fact, the allowable
enrollment bands are widened so that
TESCenrollment could drop slightly as a
response to budget cuts.

Lee Hoemann, convener of
Evergreen's Operational Planning Budget
Committee says, "While we do not yet
have a final budget, our current thinking
does not include enrollment cuts."
The Senate proposals as unveiled by
Senator Nita Rinehart (D-Seattle) at a
press conference March 31 st are relatively
kinder to TESC, leading to only a six
percent overall budget cut The proposal
also increases tuition and fmanciaI aid at
a lesser rate than the Lowry proposal.
Rinehart also said that the cuts allow
for flexibility in how institutions deal with
them "as long as you [institutions] protect
quality, diversity and enrollment".
The Senate proposal includes an
enrollment increase of 40 Evergreen
. students, funded at a level of
approximately eight thousand dollars per ,
student.
According to Jennifer Jaech,
assistant to TESC President Jane Jervis,
,"We've never gotten this much funding
for enrollment increases, and it shows that
the Senate is trying to help get through

Evergreen student body. Softball and
seven-a-side soccer have been very
popular in the past and will be offered as
intramural sports this spring.
Not everyone has had or has taken
the opportunity to learn to play a sport.
For those students interested in trying
something new, there are instructional
sessions offered each quarter. Spring
instructional sessions will include tennis
and volleyball . For students seeking a less
organized activity, on a more spontaneous
basis, the Rec Center will offer drop-in
sessions for ping pong, pickleball,
badminton, volleyball, and tennis - just to
name a few.
Call the CRC at 866-6000, x6538 or
x6521, or drop by and ask for information
on upcoming activities. Flyers will be
posted around campus announcing
different events and the Recreation
Calendar is available in the CRC office.

As you may have noticed, the whole
campus is awash in anxiety over the
events of the last few months. Air quality
problems, budget reductions and the winter
doldrums have left a general demoralizing
feeling lurking in every comer of the
campus. Here are some cheery options to
consider about the future of recycling at
TESC:
.
As you know, in 1992, our solid
waste disposal cost increased significantly.
We were notified that Mason County, who
has received our garbage in the past, will
not permit us to use their landfill. We are
now faced with a dumping fee based on
weight which costs us $53 per ton. The
cost of disposal will continue to increase.
The current landfill in ThurslOn County
has a projected life of ten years. It is
realistic to assume that we will be faced
with disposal cost of over $70 per ton in
the next three to fiv e years.

Response
Sticker lies women rape, too
I would like to thank Sara Steffens
for her beautiful Forum piece. Sexism is
inherent in any dogmatic prescription for
how women or men should act. This is
why I was particularly disturbed to see a
certain sticker on the door of the women's
center. It seeks to remind us not to think
of rape as something that women have
done to them, but as something that men
do to women. ''Men rape women" it
states in bold lettering. What it neglects to
acknowledge is that women also mpe.
Women rape women, women rape men
(it's true), and men rape men as well.
People rape people. Get it? Got it? Good.
Lovi~a Stephan

Butchering
words ineffectual
As this is March, live been seeing
a particularly large amount of words such
as "herstory" and "womyn," "wimmin,"
"womon" and other misspellings strewn
about campus. I understand the point
behind this and the sentiment "take the
man out of the woman" and "let women
tell her story". While I do not think that
women should · have to create an identity
as an offshoot of men's identity, or let our
historical voice be drowned out by the
traditional narrow reading of our past, I
believe that reacting by butchering words
that on the surface might appear to be
sexist is an approach that will prove
ineffectual at best.
The word history is not derived from
"his story" as it might appear. The "his" is
not a masculine prefix; it is a remnant
from the Old French hislOire, meaning
story. It was also borrowed from the Latin
and Greek historia. Many of these languages do not use "his" as the masculine
possessive, so the root is not as it appears.
As for the words man and woman, it
might be helpful to note that the Old
English term "man" did not specify gender
before around 750. The prefixes wer and
wifwere used to indicate man and woman,
respectively. The wer was eventually
dropped when referring to adult males and
wifman transformed into woman somewhere around 1250. So, while I suppose it
is a bit unfair that males got to use a word
that originally referred to all humans while
females still hold on to that prefix·, we're
talking about almost a millennium here.
How far back are we going to blame men?
As far as I can tell, wif or wo does not
refer to the mythological rib out of which
Eve was made, so there's really no use in
acting like it does. If anything, everyone
should bring back "werman" into current
usage. Besides, this would stop the
potential workshops and seminars that the
men's movement would have to create for
men to deal with their anger over prefixloss. I'm dreading the day that I see
someone write "mynstruation."
My complaint about the March 4
See-Page created by the Women's Center

and the page six spread of unknown
authorship is not merely an etymological
one, I'm afraid. I was disappointed that
they produced only a collage made of
bumper-sticker slogans · without any
substance and drawings of moons, flowers
and vines meant to symbolize womanhood.
Instead of scmwling "lesbians are cool" · or
"reproductive freedom," why not present
bios, pictures, . or whatever of the
numerous lesbians who have contributed to
this country through literature, politics,
science, and so forth? Why not write about
Margaret Sanger and her pioneering work
in birth control education?
Women's history month should be
treated as a political issue, not as an exercise in self-affmnation, and the See-Page
as well as page six are confusing the two.
Rachel Carson did much more important
work than say "The ocean is a place of
paradoxes" and there are many women
who don't feel the slightest connection to
the moon. Every person, woman or man,
has a right to find spiritual connection
wherever she or he can. But presenting the
importance of womanhood, and particularly women's history month, as existing in
such a personal and spiritual set of ideals
is far more alienating than it is uplifting to
many well-intentioned people of both
sexes. In other words, I think that women's history month deserves more respect than either the See-Page or page six
has given it. (Brava, however, for Sara
Steffens' good advice to all in her Forum
piece.)

Lesbians fight for
women's rights
Peter, [on your letter published in
the Mar. II CPJ] throughout history lesbians have stood beside hcterosexual and
bisexual women in the fight for equal
rights for all women. You personally attacked the Women's Center in your article
for having one of its coordinators displaying openly her "sexuality." You stated
how you feel issues dealing with homosexuality should be left up to the
LGBPRC. Peter, what you're saying in
your article is that you think homosexuals
should concentrate only on homosexual issues, while at the Women's Center only
heterosexual women's issues should be
addressed. Homosexuals come in both
sexes and in all races; Peter, we are everywhere! (another one of those "cute little
phmses") What you are saying in your
article is that we should stay in the closet
with our sexual identity wherever we work
unless of course we work at the LGBPRC,
we will noL! In every aspect of life, we as
homosexuals and bisexuals are constantly
fighting for our civil rights. Today we are
denied housing, we are told we' re not fit
parents, our affection towards each other is
compared to bestiality, and yes, Peter we
are also in constant fear of losing our jobs.

that points and stares and says with fear
"what right do those women have to kiss
in public?" or belter, "what right does a

homosexuals and bisexuals have no civil
rights as of yet in Washington state. People everywhere in Washington, not just
homosexuals and bisexuals, are working to

protection from discrimination under the

Rage for stolen
culture valid

I am writing in response to the
recent accusations put forth by two
Evergreen alumnus (CPJ, Feb. 18) and the
defensive rhetoric that accompanied them
offered by "The Earth Magic Gang" (CPJ,
Feb. 25), all in relation to Gary Galbreath
and Tiokasin Veaux's KAOS radio show,
The View from the Shore.
As a third-generation American, I
am the great-grandson of Ukrainian, Italian, and Russian emigres to this land. My
Ukrainian ancestors fled Ukraine in the
early part of this century. They had
developed ways of knowing and ways of
doing things based on what the land
offered them, and they lived a history of
preserving these ways by organizing and
resisting an endless parade of colonizers
who envied what that land could provide.
The relationship to their land was lost in
the process of emigration.
In coming to this new world. my
great-grandparents were forced to forsake
their language, beliefs, religion, and
knowledge in the struggle for assimilation,
and indeed, for survival. Not only was
their relations!tip to their homeland largely
severed, but their relationship to North
America was mediated and defined by
domineering Euro-Amerikkkan forms. As
generations passed, my family assimilated
to and participated in these EuroAmerillian forms. As a result, I am met
with the challenge of re-learning a lost
relationship to the land. And I am learning
a new relationship to this land, which was
stolen from its original inhabitants through
murder, bribery, and political conniving.
Without this relationship, I feel that,
despite all the education I've received, I
know only a fraction of what my greatgrandparents knew.

That Euro-Amerikkkan people and
institutions by and large position themselves over the land (instead of seeing ourselves in relationship to it) goes without
saying: We pave it, cleareut it, mine it,
build on it, and dump shit into it with little
or no regard for what it offers us every
moment. In short, it is safe to say that we,
as Euro-Amerikkkans have no (respectful)
relationship to land at all. This leaves us
in an interesting predicament.
Our presiding spiritual emptiness
combined with the liberal American view
that "We are all one" allows us to easily
appropriate the beliefs and practices that
result from other cultures' well-developed
relationships to land. When we fail to see •
validity in the rage of victims against this
type of culture-theft (such as EuroAmerican usage of dream-catchers,sweal
lodges, or tipis), we not only deny that it
is happening, we condone the commodification of the ways of knowing and other
aspects of these cultures. We further the
process of genocide that marks the legacy
of Euro-Amerikkkan colonization of many
peoples, including Native Peoples.
To the Earth Magic "gang:'" the
defensive stance of your letter and your
efforts to vindicate yourself through the
eyes of Native peoples are deplorable.
Does it come as any surprise to you that
someone who would smile to your face
could smirk behind your back? Face it:
you are selling someone else's relationship
to the Earth and your fIrst motive is profit,
regardless of how you display the "goods"
or justi fy their sale.
To Mary Zodrow and W. Chris
Maun: Questioning Gary's "Indian-ness" is
like me questioning your status as alumnae. It is ironic to me that the very people
you accuse of being "separatists" were
responsible for the two most recent events
on campus that could be considered
"offerings" from Native peoples to whites:
I) The re-painting and replacement of the
drum on the Welcoming figure at the Library Loop and 2) The coordination of the
20-year anniversary remembrance in honor
of the 1973 Wounded Knee occupation.
This event brought some of the most renowned people involved in the occupation/siege to campus to share their experiences with anyone who wanted to listen.
It was an example of absolute inclusion .
Perhaps, if you were truly in touch with
the Evergreen you critique so freely, you
would know more of the type of community building that Gary and Tiokasin are
responsible for.
That's all for now .. .

~ .Beautiful sunny days are coming our way, demanding that
~ ~ drop the text books and notepads, that ~ get out and
play while ~ can. What to do with oneself in this hotbed
of leisure activities, this Olympia?
Well, there is Sylvester Park, a block turned park
which is located downtown, JUSt one block north ofsrh
Avenue. Trees, benches, a ga:z;eoo - who could ask for
more?
God's mucous can be found on the black sand
beach of Priest Point Park. Adult si:z;e swings, so hard to
come by these days, are also plentiful. For your swinging
pleasure, be sure to lean all the way back and look at the
ground. Gnarled twisted mossy/ferny trees abound, as do
BBQ. pits and picnic tables. A large hill, fun ro run down
at full speed, leads to the beach; be sure to bring your
geoduck hunting equipmem, as ~Il as Spot. Check Out the
garbage behind the balhrooms - I'm not gonna tell.
For all you Old Salts, Percival Landing is a
beautiful place to go for a stroll. Behind Bayview Market,
the Landing is a wooden ooardwalk resplendem with
seagulls, halyards a tappin' and a scenic view of the Sound
and the 01ympk Mountains. The Landing is beSt explored
during a colorful sunset.
When otherwise qUickly running rivers take a
bend, a deeper, calmer area of water is usually the result.
The Deschutes River is no exception. On a hot Olympian
day, it is rhe place to go. There is a little known swimming
hole in a bend of the river, complete with a big tree and
rope swing which only locals know aoout. So, listen up for
directions: get on Capital Way downtown, drive towards
Tumwater, the airport will appear on your right, look for
a sign on the left that says something aoout a campgro~d,
turn left, go through a bit of suburban hell, and park by
some offidallooking gates. Walk along the path and head
off to the right when you hear ... The Water. Hunt around
a bit and presto, fun in the sun.

look to campus

by Andrew Lyons
Keeping up with spring fashion, bike riding Public
Safety officers will start showing more skin.
As the weather heats up, Public Safety officers will be
donning shorts, instead of the usual pants, which were all the
rage last winter. They will also be sporting new Gore-tex
jackets.
The shorts were made in Tacoma (the Paris of the West),
and end just above the knee - some skin visible, but they
still leave something to the imagination. The shorts are
your basic black, as not to clash with the new jackets.
According to Larry Savage, the shorts are of a cup
design to make bike riding more comfortable.
Function and style meld together in tl)e Goretex jackets. They are the perfect complement for
the black shorts. The jackets are blue and black,
for a look that screams "Authority!"
For the more adventurous, the arms of the
jackets are removable. This is great for officers
who want that rugged outdoorsy look.
In the future, Public Safety plans to add blue
polo shirts to top off the ensem ble. But because
of the current budget, officers will have to use
their own fashion sense in deciding what type of
top would be complementary. This should lend
a statement of individuality and a stronger sense
of self. Be wild! Clashing patterns would really
be a statement; say, a horizontal striped tee and a
flannel shirt tied around the waist. Grunge patrol!
"A lot of them [officers] prefer the bike on a
nice day," said Savage.
He is referring to the black Bridgestone MB4
mountain bikes on which officers will be able to
patrol if they so choose. The bikes feature
Shimano Deore Index gears, pedal stirrups and
quick release rims. They are also equipped with
dual front head lights, a taillight, a compact
tire pump, and two packs (one under the seat
and one over the hlck wheel), which contain,
ainong other things, infraction tickets for
those dorm loop moments. The only thing
noticeably lacking is a place for the U-Iock.
We don't want these things falling into the
wrong hands now.
Some people call Andy Lyons "Mr.
Fashion." Some don't.

Coffee. Like a smoker

when someone mentions
those six letters, or at least, a strong desire
to drink the juice of the bean seizes me.
So, when an excuse came up to wander
Olympia drinking great amounts of coffee,
I could not refuse. What follows is a
subjective, incomplete list of places to
catch a drink of brew in Oly based on
things like atmosphere, price, taste, and
location. While service could have been a
part of the review, focusing on it seemed
rather trite; in the end I've always gonen
my brew, and hey, even the best barrista
can have a bad day.

rulAlmost every town in the great NW
IS
ed by one coffee company;
Bellingham has Tony's, Seattle ,has
SLarbucks, and Olympia has Batdorf and
Bronson. Many Olympia cafcs carry
. Batdorf and Bronson beans, generally
tasty, not too bitter (like Starbucks can
be); when brewed freshly, a tastier cup of
joe is hard to come by. Read on, and may
all the fine pleasures of caffeine
consumption be yours.

pretentiousness aside, Capitale has a

the atmosphere. Capitale struck me as a
downtown Seattle cafe strategically
uprooted to Olympia with intent to feed
off the Suits power lunching from up the
hill. I would hate to be in the vicinity on
a weekday around noon. I was in and out.
It is a place to be seen, not to get
comfortable. In two words: attempted
culture. The coffee was damn good
though, Torrefazione Italia beans. A short
was 70 cents, a tall 93 cents. While the
espresso is pricey, they had some
interesting sounding concoctions (written
up in Italian), like a do colata double
drink for $3 and, for all you mocha lovers:
a scoop of chocolate ice cream with a shot
of espresso.

I have a problem with Smithfield

a nutty undertone and unlimited refills, the
coffee a la Denny's or King Solomon's

drinking. Vinyl, hicks, and cigarette
smoke dominate. Really and truly an
"American" coffee drinking experience,
cheap, relaxed, entertaining; plan to hang

Contract sponsors needed
by John Silliphant
I have a very serious complaint to
make with The Evergreen State College. I
like .the idea of student-originated studies, .
and have done so several times. In my
personally created learning contrQCts, I
have always worked harder than within
any program and have gained far more out
of it as a result. With myself as an
example, it is clear that this method of
learning works extremely well for at least
one person. I also know others who have
done very important individual contracts.
Evergreen ::ertainly stands out as an
alternative school and the existence of
individual contracts is one ' outstanding
example of why it exceeds many other
universities.
The problem I have, which is very
real, is that it is too difficult to fmd a
sponsor. This must be changed. Most of
the faculty, when approached for contracts,
arc too busy and are even unwilling to
hear what the contract is about. I don't
think the fault can be placed on the overworked faculty. Too often, I have suc~ss­
fully managed to find faculty members
who are willing to sponsor me but are unable to give my work almost any attention.
I am thus paying the same amount as any

class-enrolled student for a simple "OK"
and an evaluation at the end. This is silly.
I thank these teacl1ers profusely for saying
"yes." If it weren't for their agreement,
my education would be far less rewarding.
It just seems very irresponsible of
The Evergreen Srate College not to hire
more contract spOnsors to support students
in this kind of learning, with real attention
and support I am paying for an education,
and I am getting a great one, but the
money that I am paying is not being spent
by Evergreen on my education! And I am
working too hard to find support in what
I am doing! Until Evergreen admits that
this is' a problem and works to change it,
the education at Evergrecn is going to be
very sub-optimal, the professors are going
to be too often overworked, and the
students are going to be too often
disappointed.
I realize that this is a problem with
the current budget cuts, however, unless
this is maintained as a high priority in the
continued excellence of Evergreen, then
Evergreen is making a fatal lapse in its
commitment to quality education.
John Silliphant is an Evergreen
student.

Air quality continues to disrupt the health and jobs of workers
by The Library Group
Memo to Les Puree:
We appreciate your input at the
Library Group meeting on February 9,
1993. We are interested in the
Administration's plans for the solution of
the air quality problems in the Library. We
feel confident that the collective skills of
the consulting team will result in solutions.
The potential of the HV AC system is
impressive; the work being done tp
identify the problems seems thorough.
Your plans for further testing and
exploring, as well as the few preliminary
recommendations for actions are hopeful.
All of this information is welcome; we are
especially pleased to know that our health
problems will be addressed by a medical
expert
The Library Group is ' well known
for its innovative approach to the
challenges of ' the institution and to the
demands of the work here. We are willing
to provide as much help as is necessary to
solve the current health emergency. We
are filling in our Occupant Diaries. We
recognize the need to move the copy
machines out of Circulation area and to
develop a well ventilated copy center on
campus. We will stop using markers,
liquid paper, and wearing perfume. We are
wiUing to open our homes to make classes
possible, and to house moveabale

functions and to conduct meetings.
We would, however, like to see an
end to the misrepresentation of the health
emergency in the Library. The words in
your Feb. 4, 1993, memo, "Most people
who work in or use the building are no
longer experiencing ill effects," do not
accurately describe the situation. Your
words invalidate those who are genuinely
sick, or who are still experiencing
symptoms. One reason you have fewer
complaints is that many are at home
because of their symptoms, and others are
struggling to do their jobs at a distant site.
Since Dec. 16, more and more
people have felt symptoms directly related
to the chemical fumes .. Now, in midFebruary, ten staff are working in some
other location full time. Seven people
come to work but leave when they are too
ill to work; two wear respirators to protect
their lungs. Information a~ut how many
people are feeling symptOms is contained
in the Occupant Diaries. Library patrons
tell us about their symptoms as they leave
the building instead of doing the work
they hoped to do.
We like to hear you say "we are
working on it" But it is unfair to say as
you do in the Feb. 4, 1993, document that
the building is "safe" and that a heavy flu
season can be blamed for the illness. We

season can be blamed for the illness. We
who work there do not feel safe when we
constantly feel burning in our lungs, lower
back pain which may be related to kidney
disease, and our blood tests show liver
inflamation. Our experiences contradict
your statement in the memo.
In response to the health problems
created by poor air quality, many of us
have already acted in our own behalf.
Several staff who feel the symptoms and
who have read about the consequences of
exposure to toxic chemicals have arranged
other work sites so that they can carry on
their work. Three people and a work study
student drive to Lacey wh~ they use
terminals in the private company where
their databases originate. Many carried
their work to other buildings until they
were relocated out of the library. Meetings
are held in ' other buildings whenever
possible. One person who is paid by
another system has been ·transfered to a
different library. Media Service~ has, at
the request of faculty and students who are
feeling symptoms, moved three editing
suites from the Library into the
Communications Building.
While these measures have protected
the health of those feeling the sypmtoms,
they have disrupted our work lives. More
time and effort are required to produce
less. Those who remain in the public

service area have to face much higher
work loads and stress. Service is
diminished, resulting in dissatisfied
patrons.
The Library Group will continue to
report directly to the Administration so
that we can participate in solving the air
quality and health problems. We want to
develop and maintain an ongoing dialogue,
and will continue to work to come up with
innovative solutions. We do not want the
Library closed, but we want you to
understand the situation we are
experiencing. We need to hear public
statements from other members of the Air
Quality Advisory Board, including their
opinions and observations, in addition to
your own position statements.

FOR PYROS

WITH PERRY FARRELL
ORIGIN UNKNOWN
by Andrew Lyons
It came to me in a dream. A small
band of smurfs were bouncing up and
down on my bed shouting in Perry Farrelllike voices about nre, riots and aliens.
I awoke in a cold sweat the next
morning (well okay, maybe late afternoon)
to discover that a cassette tape had been
placed on the one clear spot of my desk.
A single ray of the setting sun (so, it was
the late, late afternoon, what of it) cast
down upon it, beckoning me.
On the "A" side was a blood
speckled label which read in a shaky
script: "PoRnO 4 Pyros". No songs were
listed, or notes reading "guard this with
your life" . It was an average looking tape,
the kind that could be bought in bulk
quantities in virtually any music/home
electronics store.
Being that it was the day after April
Fool's Day, I took this for a prank. As I
inserted the tape into the player, I was half

expecting to hear Tom Jones's cover of
EMF's "Unbelievable" (he really does that
song much better than they do). But as I
heard the unmistakable voice of Farrell
sing, "I got the devil in me," 1 was
convinced that this was no spoof, and,

FOR9AlE

since the album isn't due to be released
for almost a month, I was undoubtedly in
possession of a bootleg! Quickly I drew
the curtains and bolted the doors. I knew
not of their agenda, but someone had gone
to great lengths to get th~s tape here: After
securing the area and bnefly checkmg for
bombs, I continued to listen.
For a bootleg, it was remarkably
clear. It wasn't a live recording from a
tape recorder hidden in somebody's Godknows-where at last summers
Lollapalooza. This was a studio recording,
or at least the copy of a copy of a copy of
a copy times ten of the studio recording.
Not wanting to give much away
(though I'm going to), let me tell you th~t
this is a great album. Most the songs sull
smack of Jane's Addiction, especially the
seventh one, which sounds like the bastard
son (a term fastly becoming over used in

album reviews) of "Stop" and "Pigs in
Zen." But who really cares if it is a
familiar sound? It works!
A couple songs do have catchy poplike lyrics that you will find yourself
repeating over and over for "days, such as:
"Will there be another race
to take over for us?
Maybe martians would do better
than we 've done,
We'll make great pets
We' ll make great pets
We'll make great pets"
That song, the sixth trdck, stays with
you to the point that it becomes
frightening. You might begin to ponder
such things like "hmmm, my cat's got it
pretLy easy, sleeps a lot, a ready supply of
food available .. . "
The second cut on the album lends
itself toward explaining the name Porno
for Pyros with references to the L.A. riots:
"Came home last night,
There was fue and smoke on TV
[something rhyming with streets],
the cops and the army were in the streets.
I took my clothes off and came four
times
I could not leave myself alone."
There are " two other songs that
pertain to the riots, one of which many
people will take out of context and be
offended by. Far be it from me to give
everything away, though.
Porno For Pyros is a grand, mind
altering album/band that should send the
devout swirling in euphoric ecstacy.
Unfortunately, the bootleg copy vanished
as mysteriously as it appeared, and I am
left wondering: was it all just a dream?
Andy Lyons lives on the ninth floor,
which could explain a lot.

The Academy goes berserk, misallocates Oscars
by Cameron Grey Rose
Well, the 1992 Oscars have been
given out and you could knock me over
with a feather. There were more than a
few surprises in this year's cerel)1ony.
Of course, the big news is Clint
Eastwood's two time winner Unforgiven,
which walked away with two undeserved
best director and best picture awards. Did
I say undeserved? Yes, I did, and I meant
it Unforgiven is a fine movie but that's it.
Not a good movie, not a great movie, but
a fine movie. Clint Eastwood has certainly
directed belter pictures than this (although
he's never been nominated before). So
why did he win? The Academy has always
been suckers for- big money makers and
underdogs - note the nominations of the
good but simple A Few Good Men and the
independent (pre-nomination) flop, The
Crying Game. Unforgiven qualified on
both counts.

I waS hoping and praying for The
Crying Game, but something told me the
Academy would never give such a high
accolade to an unorthodox film with a
young director.
At least the Academy got the best
actor awards right Although I haven't

EI Steiner as a guest member of the

and some new dreadlocks since I saw him

started his dancing, there was no doubt
who he was. I know of only one short,
skinny guy that dances like that. EI Steiner
danced allover the stage, on top of the
speakers, in and around the audience. You
can't help but feel good to see someone
have fun like that.
It seemed mat most of the people in

Some of their earlier CD's sold for around
$20 each. They're not worth it. Sky Cries

SKY CRIES MARY WITH SAGE
THEKLA
SAT., MARCH 28

by Joomi Lee
Thekla is the new club on 5th Ave.
Remember the Vortex, aka North Shore
Surf Club? Thekla's the same place, but
they fixed it up and gave it a new paint
job. No longer all ages, it now caters to
the 21 and over crowd, unless you have a
fake ID. Sky Cries Mary and Sage played
Thekla's frrst live show.
Sage does not play three-chord punk
rock. Sage does not play grunge. They
create a rich, textured, sonic atmosphere
that makes you wonder if they don't have
an invisible fourth member on stage.
Sage's album just came out to some mixed
reviews. I haven't heard their studio effort,
but I know that their live shows are worth
seeing.
The club was comfortably full when

seen Scent of a Woman yet, AI Pacino has
never given a less than Oscar performance
in his career. Strangely enough, his best
actor nomination for Scent of a Woman
was his sixth but led to his fmt win.
Pacino received both the Oscar and a welldeserved standing ovation before tearfully
announcing mat the Academy, "broke my
SLreak."

Truthfully, even though AI Pacino's
performance was every bit as good as
Denzel Washington's, I thought the role of
Malcolm X was a lot more difficult, and
Washington should have gotten points and
the Oscar for undertaking such an
impossible task.
The Academy of Motion Picture
Arts and Sciences dubbed this year's
ceremony, "in celebration of women in
film," yet Emma Thompson's win as best
actress in Howard's End was the only
thing that showed me they were paying
attention to their own hype. Certainly
Emma Thompson was by far the best
performer in that category, but more than
that, she played the only real feminist role

admit I haven't seen Indochine yet).
In the supporting categories, Gene
Hackman took home another undeserved
Oscar for his portrait of a corrupt sheriff
in Unforgiven. A good performance, but
so what? I've seen that same character a
thousand times and although it was well
done: it was a simple assignment and
anyone could have done it well.
Marisa Tomei won for MV Cousin
Vinny, an unfairly under-rated' picture.
Year of me Woman and the best
supporting Oscar goes to a Brooldynite
would-be-mechanic bimbo? I admit she
was the best thing in My Cousin Vinny,
and because of her I had a good time, but
her portrayal was by no means better or
more challenging than those of the other
nominees.
A special thanks to the Academy for
finally recognizing my hero Federico
Fellini and special thanks to Federico for
creating the most memorable moments in
an otherwise humdrum ceremony.
Note to Billy Crystal, who rode into
the cermony on a giant Oscar pulled by
Jack Palance: in the words of comedian
David Spade, "Give it up! You got a
year's worth of material off one ad lib.
It's time to let go."
Cameron Rose continues to study
film in her third year at Evergreen and is
currently waging an active campaign to
become a member of the Academy of
Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
