New light .. will be shed on the
problem of darkened campus pathways.
Three new lights and eight
emergency phones are to be placed around
the campus in order to help make it a
safer place at night. According to Jill
Lowe, Public Safety Officer, these new
additions are the result of plans made back
in 1989 for the 90-92 biennium.
A personal safety DTF
(Disappearing Task Force) determined that
some areas on the campus were too dafk-·
and nOL suitable LO be traveled by at night.
The DTF consisted of both faculty
members and students of the college.
About twenty-five trees were cleared
around the path to modular housing in
order to accommodate the new lights that
are to be placed there . Trees and bushes
next to the path are also planned to be cut
back for better visibility.
The eight new emergency phones are
to be placed in visible areas throughout the
campus. These will include B, C and F
parki ng lots, the modular housing laundry
room, and the Seminar Building loading
dock. Lowe said that pay phones will
accompany the emergency phones as well.
Lowe hopes the project will be
completed by January.

Damned in the USA highlights liIIlits of expression
by Chris Wolfe
Jonathan Slack, producer of the
documentary, "Damned in the USA," a
film about censorship, spoke Wednesday,
Nov. 18, about his film and the recent
nation-wide debate over the limits of
expression.
Speaking to a noon-time crowd of
about 50 ill the TESC library, Stack said
that this debate was, "incredibly important
to [the American people's] collective
identity and yet we're not allowed to see
the images," and therefore are prevented
from participating intelligently in the
debate.
Ironically, a lawsuit from Rev.
Donald Wildmon of the American Family
Association delayed the U.S. release of
Stack's film by more than a year. A key
figure in the film, Wildmon objected to
certain, "images in the film, which he
considered blasphemous and obscene,"
according to Stack.
Stack's film contains controversial
images by photographers Robert
Mapplethorpe and Andreas Serrano.
Wildmon, according to Stack, claimed in
court he had tried to prevent these types
of, to his mind, immoral and blasphemous
images from being seen for years and that
his presence in the fllm with thcse images
was somehow a violation of the release
form hc had signed with Stack and the
film's English director, Paul Yule.
Wildmon filed a $2 1llil\ion law suit
in October of 1991 and an injunction was
issued preventing the U.S. release of the
film until the suit was seuled. Wildmon
lost this suit but obtained a further
injunction until his appeal could be
dccided in October of 1992. A month later
the Federal Court of Appeals in New
Orleans overturned this injunction, and
Stack was able to show his film.

According to Stack, Wildmon often
uses lawsuits to further his aims. "He's
filed 43 lawsuits in the last threc years,"
Stack said, "and he's never won one, but
that's how he raises his money and that's
how he organizes."
The project began when Stack was
approached by Yule, who had thc backing
of Channel Four, a telcvision network in
England, which ended up paying for the
film's legal defense as well.
The film makers "started with
Mapplcthorpc and Serrano" and went to
censorship trials concerning their work.
They began to focus on Wildmon when,
according to Stack "it became clear as we
explored the story that this man was
spearhe:lding a kind of movement that was
very much opposed to free speech."
Wildmon was at that time heavily
involved in the censorship debate. He was
the one who brought Andreas Serrano's
"Piss Christ". a photograph of a cruciflX
immersed in urine, to the attention of the
U.S. Senate and Senator Jesse Helms,
sparking the furor over the National
Endowment for the Arts. He also led
successful consumer boycotts against
Madonna, the film The Last Temptation of
Christ and the Southland Corporation, the
parent company of7-11 stores, forcing the
removal of Playboy and Penthouse from
their magazine racks.
So adept was Wildmon at focusing
national attention on images he
disapproved of. artists, according to Stack,
"were sending [him] stuff for him to ban
so they'd get discovered."
Fascirtat~d,
Stack · and Yule
approached Wildmon at his Tupelo,
Mississippi headquarters, and convinced
him to let them film him. Wildmon, Stack
said, "having denied interviews to many,
many film makers, decided that he trusted

us to portray him fairly and-accurately."
"I really wanted to -.hear what
[Wildmon] had to say," Stack asserted.
Stack also said that he "really tried to
make [Wildmon's] arguments clear."
According to Stack, Wildmon
himself said that he was portrayed fairly.
Though he was a little afraid of him,

Stack expressed a certain respect for Rev.
Wildmon for "sticking to his beliefs."
Stack also supported Wildmon's use of
consumer boycotts, calling them
"legitimate."

"Clothesline Project" centered
on sexual and physical abuse
by Lynn-Teresa Williams
The shirts were of various colors and
sizes, but they all were a silent testament
to the pain that many women suffer at the
hands of physical and sexual abuse. This
event, the Clothesline Project, brought into
focus one of the many facets of oppression
experienced by citizens of the United
States and throughout the world.
Jennifer Shafer and Ellen Hinchcliffe
of the KAOS program Women Do This
Everyday, Karla Wolfe, and artist Lee
Kandu hclped organize this event
presented to the Evergreen community
Nov.l9.
Many people, both men and women,
came up to view the clothesline. A
surprising ' number of women sat in a
protected area to write on T-shirts of their
own.
"A new Clothesline chapter is being
formed everyday," said Lee Kandu, one of
the organizers of this event.
An abuse survivor herself, Kandu
has been involved with the Clothesline
Project since March, 1992. She proudly
talks of the chapters started recently in
Rome, Bolivia, and London. In the United
States there are fifty chapters - with new
demands for chapters in Seattle, Gig
Harbor, Bellingham, Southern California

and St. Hclena, Oregon.
"I think that it is an empowering
way for women to say this happened to
me ... because women bear the brunt of
thc shame of abuse," Kandu said.
Hinchcliff added that, "Peoplc don't
believe it ... that we have such oppressions
... this is a way to confront people with
these stories."
The purpose of the clotllesline is to
show how prevalent abuse is in this
socicty, sa id Kandu. "And to show the
solidarity of the survivors so that others
who have been abused can see that they
arc not alone," added Shafer.

and teaching teams based on past
successes, improving understandings
among faculty about student characteristics
and needs, building relationships between
new and senior staff, and developing

from on and off campus in conversations
that can inform the design effort. Colleen

Have you seen it? Shoppers leaving

inside a plastic bag? Keep you eyes peeled
- it's sweeping the nation. We like the
size and rigidity, the implied enviro-ethic/
of paper. Yet we rave the handles of the

Penalty fits in a society that condones death

by Seth "Skippy" Long
I've been thinking lately about the
Death Penalty. Last week I went home to
VancQuver for Thanksgiving· .and every
night on the ]ocal news . I found
information about the W6;tley Allan Dodd
case. So I started to think more about the
prevailing ideology on this campus thatthe
Death Penalty is wrong. I then began to
think about the largely accepted idea that
abortion is something that this society
should allow. I propose that if you were to
take a poll of students here at Evergreen
you would discover that the vast majority
of those polled would say that they are
against the Death Penalty but consider
themselves Pro Choice, that is, they

After thinking about this for a while
it seems that these are dramatically
opposing viewpoints. The facts are plain
and simple, you cannot oppose death of
one kind while upholding and condoning
death of another kind. And to head off
anyone who claims that abortion is not

Abortion is the taking of a life Just as the
Death Penalty is. That is simply a fact.
This society already condones death
on a broad scale. We allow standing
armies and self-defense killings. We
condone or allow wars and weapons of
mass destruction. The majority of the
people in this society have chosen to allow
death to occur unnaturally, that includes
the Death Penalty. This is a fact.

by Dylan Sisson and Toby Lathrope
Dear Sirs,
It is an outrage! On opening the latest
edition of the Cooper Point Journal, we
were aghast to find that the pilot edition of
"Where's Louis?" was not included in the
aforementioned publication. This
promising column was senselessly
censored by the senseless censors of the
CPJ staff. We fIrmly believe that it is in
the Constitution that everyone that writes
should have that privilege that they so
desire to print that which should be
printed.
Never mind that we did not submit this
boldly innovative column; never mind that.
What we are really trying to say is that .i t

Wess Dodd did something to prompt his

gallows. Is a mother's safety or
convenience more important or valuable
than the justice done to the families of
three dead young boys?
So let's think this over. Death is
death - lives are ended one way or
another. Society has already agreed that
this is an acceptable trade-off to the threat
of mass murderers running rampant, over
population and mothers dying in birth. I
agree. Abortion should be safe and legal
and the Death Penalty is a viable
deterrence to hyper-violent crime.
Hypocrisy is the greatest luxury. We
should all see this and take it to heart. Do
we want to be P.C. or do we want to be
honest with ourselves?

With the same reasoning, the fly

SoiUlion 2: Since the trains crashed
in the middle, each one had traveled 100

the fly was moving at 200 mph, it flew a

"I'm less worried about Wildmon

where the real battle is."
Stack said that because of our
diversity and history, "we're a nation ...
that requires an openness of expression ...
and for all that we live in a nation that is
very scared of [free) expression,
particularly about sexuality."
Due to this situation Stack said he
"sees that we have a responsibility to
make people media literate because the
media is controlled by a very few
powerful individuals and corporations and
there's where the real problem is."

He 'expressed concern that his mm

because of the controversial images it
contains. CorpOrate self-censorship of this
type as well as the efforts of crusaders
such as Rev. Wildmon excludes the
American people from participating
intelligently in the debate over the limits
of freedom of expression, according to
Stack.
The debate, asserts Stack, "is so
incredibly important to our collective
identity, and yet we're not allowed to see
the images."

Remember: we said it first. No one

books to tell you what we already know.
Salmon are dying for every wall. You
ripped us off. You chased us from our
valleys and way of life. You promised fish
ladders and other modem-wonder dam
technologies. You lied to us. We fought
your dams. We screamed 50 years ago.
You would not listen. You stole our
homes. You killed the salmon. Now you
blame us? Where were you then?
Only us rain worn backwater natives
argued and fought for the salmon. Where
were you then? We have always been
poor, only you .and your big city
companies got rich.
Throw two dollars at yourself and
hit a double-blind fool. You forced your
malls on us, you brought your cars with
you, and now you bring your espresso
carts and fakey ripped jeans and
uncombed hair. You try to be earthy. You
try to be us. You are not real. You are
wannabes.
You need organic farm classes to
teach you what we never forgoL We grew
organic gardens because we are backwater.
We could not afford your expensive city
chemicals. We preserved our winter food
because we are backwater. You did not
pay us enough for your rape of our
backwater resources. We cut the trees to
satisfy your insatiability. We risked our
lives daily for generations to make a living
in the woods because we loved the earth
and abhorred your cities. We have family
that died in the woods. We loved the cold,
the wet, the trees, the forest, the animals.
Our life and death are intertwined with the
forest, animals and fish. We know them
and love them. You don't know them and
you don't know us. That is why we never
left. Weare real. You are wannabes. You
demanded the trees be cut to fill your
insatiable greed. We were your herocs.
Someone had to do your bidding. You
polluted and screwed I,Ip your cities with
yeur educated geniuses till you could stand
yourselves no longer. Now you come back
to what you have done and blame us?
You blame us? You blame us rain
worn backwater northwest natives? You
could never begin to understand a man
would rather die than leave a mountain
that was his life. We are close to the earth.
You are wannabes.
You hypocritical environmental
wannabes from the cities arguing your
tattered theories while you create the
demand for watts. Not us, but you are to
blame for burning the books of genetic
history. You are the enviro-immigrants
that sucked up northwest resources causing
the major lilUe In tms destructive chain of
death.
You are the dog that is fated to tum
in useless circles, not realizing that the
disappearing tail his own. We are least to
blame. We are nearer the earth and have
been slaves to your bidding.
Arrogance allows the degrees behind
your name to detach you from reality. My
grandfathers spoke for the salmon. Where
were you? All us backwater natives spoke.
We cried. No one would listen. Our voice
was small. In your arrogance and profound
ignorance of the northwest, you do not
even know that we tried to tell you long
ago. Now you return to bite the hand that
was forced to serve YOU.

Teaching experiment a model'success
by Russell J. Bennett·Cumming
I want to share a very rewarding
experience with , other students at
Evergreen that has been possible because
of the special type of learning environment
we have here. I am a graduate of TESC
and now a student in the Master in
Teaching program.
Last year one of our faculty team,
Raul ~akasone, suggested to our program
that as one of the components, we might
consider developing a lab where English
as a second language (ESL) could be
studied. A number' of students were~
interested in this aspect of education and
so formed a seminar group to develop the
concept. Since this had never been done
here before, or on any other campus we
know of, we had the opportunity to create
our own directions. The beginning of
many meetings and brainstorming sessions
began, and from this self directed activity
a real entity grew and developed.
All the participants brought an
amazing array of talents together as we

took charge of our educational
opponunity. The idea was to form a lab
where students who were learning to be
teachers could actually put theory into
practice, try out teaching ideas. and work:
in a real situation with members of the
community who needed to have English
language instruction. We began with
deciding what to teach, how to teach it,
where to teach it, and to whom. Some of
the group had skills in grant writing and
were able to get funding from the
Evergreen Foundation that made it
possible to hire an ESL trainer to help
give us some insight on where to begin
with instruction. Others had organizational
skills that brought us to consensus on how
to form teams and schedule classes. Others
had previous knowledge of methods to
create lessons. Instructional materials were
gathered from a variety of sources
including the EF school on campus and
the Refugee Center. Arrangements were
made with facilities to have classrooms
available. Announcements were made in

the community network and posted in
public places and KAOS gave some air
time during their Spanish language
program on the weekends. We were ready
to begin classes.
.
Using Evergreen as our model, we
decided to teach in teams. This process
alone was a valuable learning experience.
Different combinations of teachers had
different degrees of suecess and learned
much aoout cooperation and technique.
We wanted to use cooperative learning
methods and also not focus on a rigid
curriculum. Each teaching team devised
unique methods of instruction. Each group
of students had individual needs and
desires. All the teaching was done on a
voluntary basis and occurred in the
evening after our regular class schedule.
Since most of us had never done this
before, there was a certain amount of
apprehension in the beginning. Mter a few
weeks, however, we began to feel more
secure in anempting to teach the way we
believed. More and more people from the

community began to hear about the classes
and there were regular participants and a
turnover of newcomers. The experiment'
that was to last one quarter has now been
continuing for three quarters, a summer
session, and this fall quarter some TESC
students have been continuing to teach in
the evenings. These unselfish and
rewarding deeds keep an ongoing
communication between TESC and our
community. We are presenting our model
at a regional conference this month and at
an international conference next spring.
We are hoping other colleges will be able
to replicate our success and provide this
experience in their own communities. '
Those wishing to participate in this
ongoing endeavor should contact Raul
Nakasone at x6065, Russ Bennett- ',
Cumming at 866-7399, or come to a class
session on M, W, or F, 6-8 p.m. in L2130.

Radio station provides alternative to mainstream
by Diana Arens
It is the mission of KAOS to be an
alter~a.tive to mainstream media by
proViding news, public affairs and
independent music from diverse c'ulturaI
and artistic genres. KAOS has a
commitment
to locally produced
programming, and aecess to free training.
KAOS has been hard at work for
years to acquire a satellite dish. We are
projected to be on line April I, 1993.
Some programming KAOS will be able to
receive from the satellite link-up is already
run, but lape delayed. Shows like WINGS
(The Women's International News

Gathering Service), ' This Way Out,
Crossroads, and Earth On the Air. KAOS
will also be able to carry Pacifica News, a
true alternative to the necessary illusions
of corporate media. Pacifica was the first
and the only news service to cover the
massacre in East Timor. Never heard
about it? I'm not surprised.
KAOS has a commitment to
diversity. Programming from the satellite
will complement our locally produced
programming. Gary Wessels Galbreath,
producer of Native Voices and the
Indigenous Peoples Network has expressed
interest in using National Native News
from tlle satellite in conjunction with his

•

show. I am hoping that with the addition
of the Pacifica News show, KAOS will get
volunteers and interns interested in
producing a local news show.
I am dismayed at what seems to be
a trend at KCMU toward the mainstream,
with the addition of World Cafe and
decreasing use of volunteer programmers.
KAOS has no plans , to head in that
directioll. We have a strong independent
music policy of playing at least 80 percent
indepcndellt artists. We're actively seeking
programmers who don't find their voices
represented in the mainstream media,
including women, people of color, lesbian,
gay and bisexual people.

•

\

I appreciate the concerns raised by
Loren Rupp's article, "Public radio trend
from alternative to mainstream" of Nov.
19. I'm glad to see people look at their
community radio station as a vital resource
to be protected. We are lucky to have one.
If you are interested in discussing
programming further, KAOS has open
staff meetings Mondays at noon in CAB

President-Elect of the United States and
all's right with the world. Yeah, well,
that's what they all thought until the big,
nasty earthquake in Portugal that killed
loads and loads of people in Voltaire's
time. (I had a psychotic weekend. I'm

something horrible happens. We actually
accomplish a semblance of civili7ation.

from attempting to to cloak it in holy

Civilization. We're all happy and we
can sit in our homes with our frivolous
toys and wonder if it all just isn't tacky
and petty, but isn't it nice that we don't
have to go out and kill our neighbor, like
our great-great-great-great-great-greatgrcat-et cetera-grandparents did? (Even
though it might be in the best interest of
all concerned). No, we don't have to kill
our neighbors because the government is
making sure (keep your fmgers crossed)
that our neighbors aren't going to kill us.
Because we're not killing each other, we
can help everyone out by spreading empire
and influence because we're civilized and
we don't really have to worry about
anything aside from going along with
things and not upsetting anyone.
And so civilization reaches empire

Once again, God is a political convenience
by Greg Smith
The repeated "God bless you" and
the Bible quotes abounded in the recent
campaign speeches. As I listened to the
national political drivel, I couldn't help but
think their religious references were meant
for some other place in the United States
than here. The major speeches by Clinton
and Bush consistently included a
connection to the Christian faith.
Speaking in defence of the Gulf War
at the National Religious Broadcasters
convention, George Bush said, "I want ~
thank you for helping American, as Christ
ordained, to be a light unto the world."
Equating military conquest with Jesus'
words in Matthew 5:14 is blasphemy. This
passage proclaims those who embrace
poverty of spirit, meekness, mercy, purity
of heart, and peacemaking' as those who
will be the light of the world.
Bill Clinton wrote his agenda into 1

story centers around a young woman
named Darcy (Francesca Neville), who, at
the opening, is leading a very dull and
uninteresting life. She deeply wishes to
have a change, perhaps a thrill of
excitement or adventure, instead of
working in a typical factory.
To makeup for her dull life, Darcy
creates a rich fantasy life that centers
around an imaginary singer, named
Morgan (Julia Powers). At one time, this
"spirit" was a real person who Darcy
admired, and over the course of time has
developed into an obsession.
Darcy's practical friend Mary says
that work is the only thing which matters
in life. Obviously, such a person would
not accept Darcy's need for adventure and
ltas entirely different needs of her own.
As the play progresses, Darcy

"imagines" this spirit b~CIc to life in her

resurrected, each of Darcy's three friends:
Mary (Annie McPheeters), Cyrio (Jim
Ingersoll), and Isaac (Eric Faweett) all
find something to attach themselves to
Morgan under one of her many guises.

Therefore, the alternate reality of Morgan,
and the reality she creates for the other
characters, sets up the second level.
Kristen says, " ... the play is about
how we create each other, and how we
create illusions about whom we really care
about." In addition, she adds that, "If there
is no one there to create this identity for
us, then who are we, really?" As the play
develops further, there is a complete
breakdown of identities. Everyone is
creating everybody else's personality, and
their existence becomes rather tenuous and
interdependent. Morgan needs all of them
in order to survive as a real person.
The play has a cast of five people,
none of whom are currently attending an
Evergreen program. However, most of
them have been involved in the college at
some point.
Kristen Farrow would like to
acknowledge all of the suppon she has
received from musicians and artists within
the community. (There is a musical piece
half-way into the story.) Also, she is
extremely pleased with the cast, which is
entirely made up of non-professionals who
decided to participate out of cwiosity, and
with Faye Vaughn, the technical director
for the production.
Kristen is very thankful to Anna
Porter of Dreamz Galleria for her strong
support and encouragement throughout the
entire process.

About three years ago, Kristen
Farrow, who is a 1992 graduate of The
Evergreen State College, put together a
short play, of which only one scene was
performed, as part of an academic
progmm. In July of this year, Kristen
approached the owner of Dreamz Galleria,
Anna Porter, about the prospect of actually
producing the play. Anna expressed great
interest in having a live performance at the
gallery, so Kristen finished her fmal drafts
of the comedy and put together a cast.
Since August, the play has gone into
production with a cast of five .actors and a
"collapsible set" made up mostly of card
tables or boxes.
Kristen says, ''The play operates on

discourse through her first book, Sexual
Personae, and through this onc.
This book is a collection of essays
on topics ranging from Madonna and
Robert Mapplethorpe to date rape, the
higher education system, and academic
life. What is probably frustrating for those
who wish t,? ~tereotype Paglia from the

but to do that would be to lose the passion
of Paglia's message. She speaks of her
"appreciations of art... in the fervid, florid
Italian style." She is the daughter ofltalian
immigrants, and speaks of the passion
Italians bring to life, to eviscerate her gutwrenching prose would make her passion
into bland tapioca pudding.
I would argue that in order to either
accept or reject her arguments, one must
substantively deal with her work. In that
case, if what has been written here, or
what has been written or S;lid elsewhere
regarding Paglia angers you or thrills you,
read her works. Be willing to have your
preconceptions challenged or changed.
The other day I heard an Evergreen
professor state a position during a class on
a better way for colleagues to educate
their studenLS. It sounded remarkably
similar to Paglia's position. Perhaps there
is hope that a campus so noted for being
"politically correct" will engage in some
serious discourse on difficult topics.
Rob Taylor expects a lot of reader
mail on this, so don't disappoint him.

contents of these essays is that her
positions are so unconventional; she ranges
from praising Mapplethorpe for "his
learned recapitulation of the history of art,
hfs allusions to and corruptions of the
classic and Renaissance style" to talking
about the Rolling Stones being
"condemned as ·' sexist' by a pack of
screeching feminist Harpies."
Most people are aware of Paglia
through her controversial assertions about
date rape and feminism. I do not feel that
this is all that the book is about, and so
will not launch myself into a discussion of
the merits of her arguments. However, it
secms to me that her reasoning is on the
level of competent and well founded
discussion, and it is being derided not
because of a lack of merit, but because it
does not agree with mainstream feminist
thought.
Paglia's arguments are also difficult
in that the light of her lucid reasoning is
combined with the heat of her
inflammatory rhetoric. Perhaps some
would silY that her argument would bebetter served by moderating her langual!e.

left/right political axis; the 1ilm catches
these political contradictions. One moment,
the hip, young-looking crowd would be
hooting complacently at some right-wing
buffoon CD'Amato got big laughs) and the
next they'd be sitting in a confused,
slightly guilty silence. It's worth going just
to see the audience's (and your own)
assumptions challenged.
Overall it's a fun movie. There's 10LS
of laughs and absurdity and weird art and
interesting stuff to think about. It might be
on public TV sometime, but don't count
on it. There was some talk by the head
festival guy of a return engagement at the
Capitol and a showing next year sometime
up at the Neptune. The film has no
distributor, so you're going to have to
search it out.
Chris Wolfe appreciates the
importance of Elvis coverage in the CPJ.

reasoning for doing this one was that it
follows closest the author Bram Stoker's
book.
.Since the appeal for all Dracula
movies is the same, that of the gothic
love . story between Dracula and a
woman, one more Dracula film, just
seems like, well, one more Dracula film.
Coppola tried. · He had many
reputable actors and actresses for this
version. He experimented with some new
(albeit annoying) special effects, but
basically left me feeling like I had just
watched another Dracwa movie that
didn't quite measure up to Murnau's
Nosferatu. Murnau's film will live on as
the Dracula movie of all time, it is
eternal, and the torch to whieh all other
Dracula movie attempts must be held.
Copolla's Bram Stoker's Dracula was a
commendable attempt -at illuminating the
base of the torch, but overall I came
away from it feeling very '90s.
Go see this film if you are into any
of the actors, especially Tom Waits, or if
you don't have much else to do over
break and need to fill up an afternoon.
And oh yeah, one last detail; "One can
recognize the mark of the vampire by the
trace of his fangs on the victim's throat"
Beware, he's out there, and he remains
one of the most loathsome incarnations of
evil ever.

Project, started by the Cape Cod Women's
Agenda in Brewster, Masschusetts, is
planning a large display of the T-shirt in
Washington D.C. They will also be
stepping up outreach to communities of
color and producing a television
documentary on the subject in the near
future.
As they read the words of pain on
the shirts, peoples' faces registered the _
concern and sadness. The atmosphere was
like a memorial for those who have died.
But the women who were writing on
the shirts now, the defiant voices of even
the children who had written shirts of their
own before them, told a much different '
story. It was a story of survival and
strength in the face of great personal pain.
It was a story of hope that this particular,
pervasive oppression will be eliminated
forever from their lives.
