The SWdent Photo Cemer in L 1340,
closed for remodeling since OCL 10, will
incorporaLe an improved ventilation system
when re·opened, addressing complainLS
raised by students two years ago.
A letter signed by twemy to thirty
students, dated Feb. 20, 1990, reported
darkroom 'users suffered "headaches,
menLal confusion, disorientation and sore
throaLS," and requested ventilation be
improved . Copies of the letter were sent to
various state and local agencies, including
Jill Lowe, TESC Environmental Health
and Public Safety Officer and the State
Department of Labor and Industry.
Adequate vemilation has been an ongoing problem in the Library building in
general, and the Student Photo Center lab
in partit:ular, according to both Lowe and
Mariusz Kowaleski, TESC architect in
charge of the remodeling project.
Upon receipt of the student's letter,
the Deparunent of Labor and Industry
investigated and TESC was ciled for not
maintaining an adequate supply of eye
goggles ror darkroom users and for storing
chemicals over a sink. However, in their
leiter to Lowe the DLI said tl1at
" ventilation appeared lo be adequate,"
Despite the DLI's finding, Lowe and
the academic deans decided to close one
small lab separate from the darkroom in
L 1340 and deemed as "unworkable," and
take temporary measures to improve
ventilation in the larger Student Photo

Center lab.
There were already plans to remodel
the Student Photo Center at this time,
according to Kowaleski, but the student
complaints aided in the appropriations
process, Lowe said, "the academic deans
didn't want to compromise [student
safely]."
The remodel
was eventually
budgeted at $400,000. Plans were
completed in July, 1992 and bidding
opened that August. The designers
underestimated the oULSide constructions
costs, however, and when bids were
received it became apparent that plans
would have to be scaled bat:k.
In tllC original plan a corridor was to
be shifted, a reception area added, and the
t:olor processing lab moved to the site.
Working with the contractor, Sandi
Construction, Kowaleski revised the plans
and construction cost were brought down'
to £71,200, from an original bid of
$147,900, The original design was "a good
solution, but costly and complicated,"
Kowaleski said.
The remodeled Student Photo Center
is scheduled to re-open Jan. 1S, 1993. In
addition to improved ventilation it will
have an exmmded capacity, wheelchair
access, a separate classroom and an
improved chemical mixing room. Space
also exists for the color processing lab to
be added at a later date, if funds are
available.
Once re-opened the center will

Carpeting in Library Building
found to be toxic, paralyzes mice
by Sara Steffens
The carpelS in Hillaire Student
Advising Center and two classrooms in the
Library building will be torn up as the
result of an administrative meeting held
Tuesday, November 17.
The decision was based upon an
analysis of three carpet samples from the
Center done by Anderson Laboratories in
MassachusetLS. The test
was an
experimental procedure using mice to
determine possible toxicity.
Mice reactions to two of the carpet
samples were considered "severe." The
mice exhibited disorientation, abnormal
gait, and in some cases paralysis when
exposed to heated samples of the carpet.
Mice reaction to another carpet sample

was considered "moderate."
The testing was done as a result of
a
variety of physical discomfort
complaints received from persons working
in the Student Advising Center. The
complaints
began
in
1988, after
remodeling was done in the Center. Since
that time, tesLS have been perfonned in the
area by ventilation specialisLS, industrial
hygiene firms and other specialists in an
attempt to determine the cause of the
problem ,
It is not clear why the carpet may be
exhibiting toxicity. According to campus
Safety Officer Jill Lowe, there is no
reason to believe other areas of the
campus are affected by this problem .

Surrounded by cedar, salmonberry,
bearberry (kinnit:kinniek), sword-fern,
indian plum, Oregon grape, and the rest of
the life-giving vegetation of the Northwest,
the Longhouse will stand resplendent, a
jewel at the heart of the Evergreen
learning community . A place for sharing
and learning, and for keeping age-old
traditions strong, the Longhouse will be a
plat:e of great benefit to the people of the
South Sound region. Native people will
have a culturally strong gatllering place,
where the oldest wisdom of thi s land can
be shared with the people who have just
arrived here.
The Longhouse has been a dream
deferred for tllirteen years on thi s campus,
Conceived in 1979 among three Nati ve
American related programs,the Longhouse
project has involved countless people in
planning, articulating, and presenting (to
the Board, ;,unong others) tllis essential
miss ing parI of the Evergreen campus.
Mary Ellen Hillaire and Lloyd Colfax
(faculty, now deceased) were tireless in
their efforts on behalf of the Longhouse,
and David Whitener (faculty), Colleen Ray
(MPA '(2), and many others continue to
give their efforts. Former president Dan
Evans was a strong supporter, and campus
art:hitect John Collier has drawn full
blueprints, $ 10,000 for cedar framing
timbers was offered by Simpson Timber
Co. in the early '80s, to be given when
construction had begun. But construction
never yet has begun, because the money
has not until now been seriously requested
by the college of the legislature, and thus,
of course, the legislature has not
appropriated the needed funds .
What exactly is to be built? Specific
details have changed and evolved over the
years, Present plans include the Longhouse
proper . a cedar ceremonial hall built in
the traditional manner, a kitchen, dining
room , .1l1d childcare in a nearby stru cture,

and se veral residences for vlsillng
teachers, arti SLS , swdenLS and faculty .
Longhouses were/are the traditional
building structure of the various No rthwest
Coast Native Peoples. The Coast Salish
(among the peoples speaking languages in
the Coast Salish group are the Squaxin ,
Nisqually, Skokomish, and Chehalis
peoples of what is now commonl y called
the South Puget Sound Region ), Nootka,
Tlingit, K wakiutl, Tsim Tshin , Bella
Coola, and Haida all lived and gathered
(ceremonially) in cedar longhouses, Cedar
is the tree from which local people
receive(d) material from such essentia ls as
woven bark-fiber clothing, canoes, and
planks, timbers and shakes for tlle ir
longhouses. Cedar planks belongin g to

Analysis
through the generations, and often
accompanied a newlywed who went to live
with a spouse's extended family, where
the planks were utilized in expanding the
longhouse to accommodaLe the new
couple.
During the cold winter months the
people mostly stayed inside their warm
longhouses, eating smoked salmon, dried
berries, and other foods stored up for
winter. Much of the winter season was
spent sharing the myths, stories, and
histories, both new and ancient, that are
the cultural heritage of this region and the
people who have lived here. Throughout

SEATTLE--A lawsuit against President
Bush and local and national media in the
U.S. District Court Western District of
Washington at Seattle is being brought by
Seattle residents Gene and Mary Goosman,
founders of Equal Justice for All.
The plaintiffs charge the defendants
in a Constitutional Constructive Notice of
the loss of their and their posterity's rights
to choose the most qualified person to be
President of the United States because of
their exclusive control of the choice of
three presidential candidates. They further
charge that the mass electronic and print
news media, through a conspiracy of
silence, has kept the platforms of several
highly qualified independent presidential
candidates from the public view of the
nation. Defendants named, besides Bush,
include at the present: Milt Gross, FCC
Commissioner; Gary Soulsby, FCC,
Washington State Div; CBS, NBC, ABC,
and CNN national broadcast companies;
Seattle Times and Post Intelligencer.

Partake of food guilt-free
by Beth Gebstadt
A Wellness Thanksgiving Message
It's Thanksgiving in a week and it is
supposed to be a holiday - a break from
school spent with family and friends - a
time of happiness and good cheer. But for
many this holiday is not perceived as any
of the above but mther a stressful
occasion. Many people experience anxiety
over the amount of food they will eat, and
the break from their daily routine. '
If you want to indulge in greater
quantities of food than usual, go ahead,
but do it guilt-free. It is just one day of
the year; indulge and simply resume to
your regular eating habits on Friday. It
may help to combat the negative feelings

EVERGREEN--The Student Health and
Counseling Center has announced that
there are some health problems that
students are concerned about. There is a
cold/flu virus on campus. It causes a runny
nose, congestion in ears and sinuses, mild
sOre throat and coughing. For some people
it lasts as long as three weeks. It is a
virus, and there are no medications that
will kill it Your immune system will do
this, given lots of fluids, extra sleep and
good self-care. Some people have found
that decongestants or cough syrups have
been helpful.
Several students are also coming into
the health center with lice. Most of these
students live in the Mods, or off-campus.
Head lice are not uncommon on campus.
They are never a serious health problem.
They cause an itchy scalp, sometimes
swollen glands in the neck, and if you
have them a long time, you may fcel very
tired or run-down. They are contagious. If
you routinely share hats, scarves, hair
ornaments, unwashed clothes or towel with
your friends, you can pick up lice. People
with dreadlocks are especially prone to get
lice: something about the tight tangles of
hair provides a warm and safe
environment in which the lice prosper.
Lice are treated by the use of Nix, and
over the counter cream rinse. You also
have to clean your clothes, hair brushes
and hats, towels, bedding, and living space
in order to eradicate them. The Student
Health Center has Nix available over the
counter. If you have questions or concerns,
please contact the -health center at x6200.

Two weeks ago the CPJ photo editor,
Skippy Long. wrote a tcar-jerking analysis
of the presidential elections in the general
spirit of. "Yea! We finally have a
candidate on our side." "Congratulations
America." hc wrote, "This timc il looks
like it's our turn." Although this
mOlivational rhetoric was well intentioned.
I would like to offer my own crass
analysis of the elections. I offer it as a

Dear Skippy,
Well my friend, 1 too voted for the

Tuesday night when our evil AntiPresident of the past 4 years admitted
defeat to the young Governor from

underdog junky. And I've found some
security in voting the Democratic ticket
because of its inability to win in the past.
It has always been a foregone
conclusion for me to assume I would lose.

My dilemma, as I returned home to

Now, I had to admit the fact- that I had

On the other hand, my biggest fear,
especially after hearing his winning
speech, is that Clinton will do the right
thing. This would spell certain doom for
the likes of us, Skippy. If Clinton pushed
through Nationalized Health-care,
decriminalized hemp, got a couple more
liberal Supreme Court Justices, put the
abortion issue to rest, and turned the
economy around .... what the hell would be

Keep your dope
at home
It is Friday afternoon, and I am
walking from the Com Building, Recital
Hall, to the CAB. I am met with a huge
cloud of marijuana smoke. Five young
men are smoking dope next to the bicycle
racks outside the CAB. They're having a
great time, and they are being quite blatant
about smoking.
My head starts hurting. I feel
nauseous. I don't want to be inhaling this
shit, but I have no choice. The smoke is
even inside the first floor of the CAB.
This may seem quite humorous. It
may seem funny that I would even talk

don't want to breathe in what you're
smoking.
We already know that it's illegal,
and that it breaks our Social Contract here
at TESC. Marijuana smoking is usually .
considered a victimless crime, but i n this
case then:~ were several victims - those of
us who had to walk through your smoke
to get into the CAB. I've always
considered smoking dope as "no big deal,"
just not for me. I considered it a private
personal choice for each of us. But today
I had no choice. I had to deal with
headaches, nausea, and panic. I'm
realizing that although I've been clean for
five years, I am still an addict in recovery.
Please think before you light up

Beirut review
is poor writing
I am writing in response to the Oct.
15 review of Beirut, by Sara Steffens. Ms.
Steffens obviously has no understanding of
how to write a review. I am not addressing
her opinion, but rather her juvenile
comments. For example, to say that "any
two people, of any gender, in any theater,
willing to be naked on stage could
probably do a fine job of performing this
play. Which is not to diminish the triumph
of this production," not only is an asinine
statement showing how little she
understands the art of acting, but also
implies there are more than two genders,
and includes a sentence fragment.
Ms. Steffens continues to write
poorly throughout ("Norman should be
commended." Why not commend her?)
until she finally hits an all time low in
theater reviewing. Steffens fails to separate
the actor from the character and then
makes a horribly sexist remark concerning
actor Thomas Naught's belly. If a man had
written this review and stated that Kim
Norman had great tits which made nude
scenes enjoyable there might have been a
riot or at least a lot of protest.
And in a final note, there is no need
to mention flirting with other audience
members in a review!
As an editor, I feel you have allowed
an unacceptable article to be published!
I agree with what Ms. Steffens said
about the production (for the most part)
but she needs a few lessons in how to
review a play, and a year or two of theater
studies wouldn't hurt.

Recently staff members at the CPJ
have deliberated the reasons why and
when to publish profanity.
The Cooper Point Journal is a
reflection of the Evergreen community via
its contributors. This community uses
profanity to express itself and so it would
be natural to fmd it on the pages we
publish.
Each of us has our own voice but
our writing is not verbatim of our talk.
Are we swearing on paper out of habit?
Granted, sometimes there is no other word
that will put the emphasis of passion
behind the meaning. But if "fuck"
becomes commonplace then the emphasis
is taken away. More often than not there's

an adjective that conveys more meaning to
the reader than "shitty".
The contributors trying to be heard
outside the Evergreen community may
have trouble reaching people who dismiss
an argument using profanity as childish. If
you want society to hear you, you must
use language they will listen to. (The CPJ
is distributed to Olympia and the greater
Thurston county area, -with a circulation
totaling 3500.)
We encourage all contributors to
examine their use of profanity to see if it
really is the best use of words. Please
don't substitute profanity for real
expression.

WashPIRG improves society
by Eric Penner Haury
What has WashPIRG done to
improve society? Quite a bit.
First, the Hunger and Homelessness
group has been doing it's best to help
improve the lot of the less fortunate. On
Saturday, Nov. 14, the day before Hunger
and Homelessness Week began, they took
nine people and went up to Seattle to
participate in a work-a-thon. They spent
that afternoon working on low income
housing: cleaning, gardening, helping
lucky families move in. And on Sunday,
the group held a food drive which
collected ten boxes of food and over $70
for · good causes. The week after
Thanksgiving break, they'll be holding a
toy drive. Donations will be accepted in
the WashPIRG office (Lib 3228).
Meanwhile, the Green Voter
campaign is doing its bit to promote
legislation to protect the environment.
WashPIRG has joined with other PIRGs
across the country in supporting a platform
that would reduce the amount of solid
waste and toxic emiSSIons, reduce
greenhouse emissions, and proteet our
natural environment. We at WashPIRG at
Evergreen have got over 200 ordinary
citizens to sign a petition telling the
politicians that this is what the ordinary
people want. Because citizens said they
want it, many politicians said that they
want it, too. WashPIRG has managed to
get several of our Federal representatives
to agree to the platform in part or in
whole. We are currently working to
arrange a meeting with Jolene Unsoeld to
ask her to support the platform. The more
people sign our platform, the more likely
these reforms are going to be enacted.
That is real action, real progress. Over the
next months, the Green Voter campaign
will report back to you on how the
pledged representatives voted on certain
bills. Then you will know who is
committed to protecting our environment.

Our Solid Waste & Recycling
Campaign focuses on one aspect of the
Green Voter platform, and primarily on
one proposal: a 50 percent recycle postconsumer content bill. This would require
that half of all paper products must be
made of recycled, post-consumer paper.
For, paper recycling doesn't work yet. It's
very well to put newsprint and mixed
paper into their bins, but too few people
purchase what little recycled paper is
available. This campaign has put together
a free buyers' guide for recycled paper
products in the Olympia area. It can be
found in the bookstore and other places
both on and off campus. It tells the reader
where to get recycled paper for a
multitude of uses. It also contains
addresses of who to write to if you wislt
to pass the 50 percent recycle content
standard and a detailed explanation of why
it is needed. This campaign also helped
organize Plastic Recycling Day on Friday,
Nov. 13. Hopefully, it will be the first of
many such days.
That's what we've done with a
relatively small group of active volunteers.
Imagine what we could do with morel
Next quarter, if you care about the
environment, expanding democracy,
helping the needy, or consumer rights,
remember that WashPIRG does, too_ We
don't just talk! We do our best to help
improve our society through legislation,
education, and grassroots pressure.
Students run WashPIRGI Any
student can join, can help us grow to
become a more effective agent of reform,
but we cannot do this unless you give us
your suggestions. So come to the
WashPIRG office (Lib 3228), call x6058,
or come up to our recruitment table at the
beginning of next quarter. It's up to us, all
of us.
Eric Penner Haury is involved ill

KAOS from page 3

Huntsberger does think that the
changes made by the management at
KCMU were a mistake. "We recognize the
value of our local programming. However
we must think about the real world."
THE BOTTOM LINE
It looks as though the real world for
KAOS means appealing to a wider
audience. Surveys have shown that people
often switch over from KAOS to NPR to
get news,. KAOS already has access to
national news shows like Pacifica, but
must play delayed versions because the
tapes are mailed in. Management is
appealing for a I-hour Pacifica news
segment and more news in the morning.
The logical result of this wider
audience will be a wider base for fundraising. The salaried staff of KAOS are
obviously interested in keeping the money
flowing into the station. Huntsberger lists
this as a "top priority" for the station.
"The satellite system will allow us to do
much more sophisticated fund-raising."
Just how much this priority affects
programming at KAOS remains to be
seeri. But we can expect to see a more
commercial approach to radio as KAOS
shoots for the mainstream.
Loren Rupp, · is a member of the
Evergreen community.

VOLUNTEERS OR SYNDICATION?
Fortunately the changes at KAOS
are not as severe or insidious, but the old
KAOS may slowly be becoming a thing of
the past Station Manager Michael
Huntsberger feels that the satellite
programs will provide a stimulus to our
local programming, "They will be Ii model
of quality for our shows to shoot for." But
Huntsberger could not guarantee that the
standard KAOS format would be entirely
preserved. "Those kinds of decisions have
not yet been addressed. But I would like
input from the community on
programming. "
It is quite possible that the
syndicated programs ' might end up
preempting some of the current shows.
Volunteer programmers may face the
possibiliry of having their show shortened
or bumped altogether. Huntst>erger is
excited about introducing national
programs like "Wa'da'ya'know," a
syndicated trivia show. KAOS currently
has it's own trivia game show entitled
PLUJ. The new programs could make it
even harder to land a radio slot. The
current KAOS schedule is full, with no
available slots for new shows.

A RIVER RUNS THROUGH IT
DIRECTED BY ROBERT REDFORD
COLUMBIA PICTURES
LACEY CINEMAS

by Brad VVatkins
Every so often our American film
industry is capable of producing a truly
relaxing movie that is a pleasure to watch.
A River Runs Through It is just such a
picture. The last film I can remember
making me feel this way was Wim
Wenders' epic Until the End of the World,
which came out last spring. However, the
contrasts between that movie and this one
are too numerous to count. I guess if there
are any similarities between each of them,
one might find a natural mood and tone
which soothe the spirit as the viewing
progresses . You leave ihe theater feeling
refreshed rather. than exhausted or pumped
for a fight.

Craig Scheffer and Brad Pitt pose stylishly in a River Runs Through It. photo
courtesy of Columbia Pictures.

"All good things
come by grace,
and grace comes
by art,
and art does not
come easy."
-Norman Maclean
A River Runs Through It examines
man inside nature. The concept of fishing
is compared to art; as a form of meditation
and respect for God's creation. This is not
to say that River is a film with religious
overtones, but the film shows how distant
we have become from the very planet we
live on, in a spiritual way.
The story is set in Montana between
the years of 1910 and 1935, when the
United States was still wild in many
places. The film tells the story of a family,
two brothers and their parents. The older
brother is Norman Maclean (Craig
Sheffer) the author of the book which this

movie is based upon. Norman is a man
with strong convictions and passions about
life and nature. His brother Paul (Brad
Pitt) shares some of these same feelings,
but has a weakness for gambling that
eventually catches up with him. Their
father, Reverend Maclean (Tom Skerritt) ,
teaches his sons that man should respect
the environment and himself, and that
fi shing is an exploration of such a goal.
The plot is extremely linear,
following the young brothers ' growth into
manhood . Norman eventually goes to
college, then moves on to the University
of Chicago after a brief visit home in
1926. Paul decides to stay at their
Montana home, but is eventually killed by
those with whom he shares some unpaid
gambling debts.
Conveniently for the audience, all of
this occurs while Norman is still at home,
allowing us to see the experiences of his
family through Norman's own eyes.
Therefore, Norman Maclean is the central
character to the entire picture. Robert

Redford narrates the part of Norman
Maclean as an older adult, providing a
more distinguished account of past events.
From my understanding, the book is
completely different from this film. Since
I haven't been able to read the novel it
would be a mistake for me to make any
comparisons.

Really, the only bad thing I can say
about this movie is that the characters are
flat. While the cinematography is
sometimes epic in propo~on, the people
themselves are very simple, despite iheir
passions. Oddly enough, the director,
Robert Redford, has often struck me as
being pretty much the same himself. Still,
the acting is fabulous, a sure hit at Oscar
time.
I wouldn't recommend this film as a
source of entertainment. You should
consider bringing along the grandparents
(who just stumbled in for the weekend
unannounced and you need an excuse to
keep them occupied); or perhaps the little
kids (because they will probably fall
aslee p). After all, nobody within our age
group has any patience for a great movie,
anyway.
Otherwise, if you find yourself
comple tely lost, I suggest sneakingacross
to another theater to see the new Steven
Segal movie Under Fire for a good dose
of death and destruction. By doing so, you
can watch Segal brutally wipe out a
battalion of men in less than two hours.
Aren ' t extremes in humanity just
wonderful?
Actually, Brad Watkins hasn't yet
seen Under Fire. He would rather criticize
Steven Segal for being a truly obnoxious
slob in all of his other films.

like his fingers were caught in a blender.
If you're trying to compensate for "Everything is Weird" reminds me of a
some weird Catholic repression or feeling Fisher-Price musical train being thrown
a little violent toward that special guy, down a steel staircase.

Daisy Chainsaw describe their
sound as, "Music for people without
friends."
Eleventeen: it ain't cream of wheat.

Self-indulgent is the phrase that
comes to mind. am I not your girl? is a
cloyingly sweet, somewhat flat .collection
of big band, Broadway and torch songs
that Sinead likes. "These are the songs I
grew up listening to. They are the songs
that made .me want to be a singer,"
Sinead wrote. People who really love
Sinead will be happy with this album.
Others may find themselves getting
bored.
The liner notes (in which Sinead
refers to "The True God" as "Him") and
picture of Sinead in funky shoes may be
worth the purchase price. Or perhaps
you're intrigued by the opportunity to
hear Sinead lisp her way through, "I
want to be loved by you." She even
sings "boop boop boop a doo."
Mostly I'm disappointed in this
album because the raging wail of
Sinead's voice is reduced to smooth
melodic blah. And she sounds almost
emotionally stable, which kills a lot of
the passion of her music.
On the other hand, at this point
Sinead O'Connor can't win. If she
releases a commercially popular album,
we'll say she's sold out. If she sings
with gut-wrenching fervor, we'll say
she's emotionally maladjusted. am I not
your girl? is not what we expect from
Sinead O'Connor, but it's worth a listen.

"I Don't Sleep, I Drink Coffee

Unfortunately, a few songs toward

Epiphany in Brooklyn is a great

like it. Brenda Kahn has a weirdly
likeable singing style. Her lyrics are
quirky, witty, even profound.
In "She's in Love," Kahn sings,
