O'r ganic Farm offers
harvest at Fair
by Deborah Dorsey
In the southwest comer of the TESC
campus, a quarter mile walk through the
woods, one will find the Organic Farm
and Community Gardens.
The Organic Farm is a resource for
both students and members of the
community. It can serve as a peaceful,
beautiful place to have a picnic, or as a
source of inspiration to the most novice or
experienced of gardeners.
In the height of the growing season,
one could be impressed by the colorful
array of flowers and the beauty of fruit
laden crops covering the rows of dark soil.
However, in addition to being a source of
enjoyment for the community, the Organic
Farm has an important educational role.
For students interested in sustainable
agriculture, the Organic Farm serves as a
classroom. Here students can get hands on
agricultural experience.
Pat Moore, the farm manager,
teaches the introduction to Market
Gardening program in which students
work on the farm throughout the growing
season to learn the ups and downs of
growing and marketing produce. In
addition, the Community Gardens offers a
place where students and members of the
community can lease their own garden
space.
This Sunday is the Eleventh Annual

Gore talks financial aid; olllits women and gays
by Samuel Loewenberg
Students appeared to be in the
minority at a i-ally for vice-presidential
candidate Albert Gore on Sunday, Oct 4,
at the University of Washington Quad.
The rally attracted several thousand
people. The most visible of the supporters
were people in their thirties and forties.
Seattle Mayor Norm Rice introduced Gore.
Tennessee Senator Gore began his
speech by endorsing senatorial candidate
Patty Murray with the rhetorical question:
"Wouldn't it be nice to have another
woman in the United States Senate?"
Democmtic gubernatorial candidate
Mike Lowry also spoke at the rally. He
praised Gore as a man who believes that,
"good environmental policy is good
economic policy." Lowry promised to
rebuild the state's salmon runs, and said
that new environmental programs would
create jobs in the state. He also spoke
about creating a statewide health care
system.
Much of Gore's speech was taken up
with the perennial challenger's rallying cry
of "change." He did, however, address a
few specific issues, notably ail attack on
the Bush administration's "trickle down
economics," Bush's veto of the family
leave bill, the democratic plan for national
service, and of course, the environment
(environmental issues are what Gore is
associated with most).
Students brought up financial aid,
the economy, and the environment as
important issues. Several expressed
concern that Gore had failed to address
issues of special interest to women.
"That was the one thing that every
woman around me kept saying, that he
didn't mention women's issues,"
complained UW studentluliet Berger. "He
didn't mention abortion at aIL"
Justin Lovegrove, a junior at UW
who said that he was not a Bush supporter
but had volunteered on the Bush campaign
for the experience, said that he didn't see
much of a difference between the policies
of the two candidates.
"Both [Clinton and Bush] are
playing the game," said Lovegrove. "In
Letters fronl Holocaust
by Chris Phelps
Ken Lawrence, an internationally
known free-lance writer, researcher,
historian, anti-fascist activist, as well as an
authority on stamp collecting, came to
TESC last Tuesday to show a slide show
and to exhibit his collection of letters and
post cards mailed to and fTom Nazi
concentrlltion camps during World War II.
This rare exhibit (sponsored by EPICtwas
titled "Letters From Hell: Postal Evidence
of the Nazi Holocaust and the Ruination of
Europe," and was on display in the library
for only two days (Sept. 29 and 30).
Lawrence opened up his presentation
by briefly introducing himself as an
antifasciSt activist from Mississippi. He
The Eveqreea8tate CoUe,e
~Iympla,
WA 98505
has been deeply involved with political
active work for over thirty years. He has
been organizing against the Ku Klux Klan
in MiSSissippi since 1979, and stated that
neo-Nazis are much more dangerous now
than 10 years ago. This is due to the fact
that their numbers and activities have
dramatically increased over that period of
time in both the U.S. and Europe.
Lawrence is showing these
incredibly gut wrenching photographs of
the Nazi concentration camp in
Buchenwald, East Germany, to portray
what kind of society the Nazis would
create if they were to come to power once
again.
see hell, page 3
the ads one attacks the other and it just
seems to go around and around."
Lovegrove's statement was true for
many students at the rally, who said they
supported Clinton mainly because he was
an alternative to President Bush. As many
national polls indicate, this reflects the
mood of the country. If people are voting
against Bush and not for Clinton, it places
the Democrat's lead in a precarious
position, leaving open the possibility of an
eleventh hour turnaround by Bush. Ross
Perot's return to the race could also take
away votes from Clinton.
The CPJ talked with a variety of
UW students during the rally. For many
of them, this is the first time they are
voting in a presidential election.
.
Loren Landau, a UW junior, said
that she decided early on to vote for
Clinton, even though she feels he is too
conservative on his social policies and in
cutting the military budget. She felt that
Clinton was "more intellectually qualified"
than Bush, and that he had a good
understanding of economics.
Bush is "out of touch" with people,
said Landau. When asked by the ePJ if
she felt a Clinton presidency would be
more "in touch," Landau replied, "I don't
know, but it doesn't hurt to try."
The
majority of students
interviewed said that they were following
the campaign only peripherally, mostly
through the television news, and that they
were not familiar with either of the
candidate's specific policy proposals.
Lisa Brouillet, a UW junior, told the
CPJ she would have voted for any
Democrat who was running against Bush.
When asked to describe how Clinton's
presidency would differ from the
Republican administration, Brouillet made
it clear that she was not taken in by
political slogans and the candidate's talk
about change. "It won't be as ~y as
Clinton makes it seem."
For Chris Mealy, a UW junior, the
Clinton-Gore ticket offers an antidote to
the cynicism of the Bush and Reagan
years. Mealy said that the Democrats
would not spend so much time blaming
Congress, as he felt Bush and Reagan
had.
Gore's description of the democratic
plan for national service was popular with
students at the rally. The plan would
provide financial aid to every
"academically qualified" student. Loans
could be repaid either through a deduction
from future pay checks or by a two year
period of public service, in which the
college graduate would work ·at reduced
wages in a field such as the environment
or health care.
High school graduates who didn't
want to go to college would be able to
enter a two year apprenticeship program
where they would learn job skills.
In his speech, Gore briefly criticized
Bush on his slow handling of the AIDS
issue, but UW junior Suzanne Gillis said
that "especially in Seattle, he should have
gotten more into gay rights."
Gore echoed Pennsylvania Sen.
Harris Wofford's election slogan for health
care reform, "If every criminal has the
right to an attorney, ,then every family has
the right to a doctor:" While the Clinton-

The library that contains all possible books
'.
THE
MA THEMA TICAL
WITNESS
by Rafael Marino
WJ
One of .the most in~iguin.g
concepts m computer science IS
the idea of a "universal
program," a program that can compute
anything that is computable. A similar
idea was included by the Argentine
writer Jorge Luis Borges in one of his
most powerful short slOries, The Library
of Babel written in 1941.
In this story Borges describes a library
of hexagonal galleries where we can find
all.40onceivable books including: books
that are meaningless sequences of
symbols; Anna Karenina, books that
still have not been written; and a book
that contains all other books, just like
the program that does what any other
program could do.
Other books in this fabulous library
are catalogs of books and these catalogs
mayor may not include themselves in
their list of books. One conceivable
book is the catalog of all catalogs that
do not list themselves.
We could ask ourselves - following
paradoxical reasonings of Bertrand
Russell: should this catalog (of all
catalogs that do not list themselves) list
itself? If we answer "Yes" then our
catalog would be listing a book that it
should not list. If the answer is "No"
then it should list itself. Borges'
unlimited library does not seem to be
logically possible. Borges suggests the
idea of eliminating all useless books. I
would also eliminate all logically
impossible books.
. How could we .conceive of a way to
generate our li~rar.y, as originally
visualized by Borges? He talks about
stJkting with 25 symbols: 22 letters, the:'
comma, the period, and a space. There
will be then 25 different (and uSeless)
books of length one, the ones with only
one symbol. Then there will be 252 .(=
625), still useless, books of length 2.
And 253 (= 15,625) books of length 3
and so on. By the time we get to books
of length 10 we may be getting into
books of some interest. Suppose we
limit ourselves to books of length
1,000,000. How many different books
would our library contain? Let's call
this number N.
N = 25 + 252 + 253 + ... + 25 1,000,000.
If we now multiply both sides of this
equation by 25 we obtain:
25N
252 + 253 + ... + 25 1,000,001.
Subtract now the first equation from the
=
second:
24N = 25 1•000 •001 - 25.

In the provence of .,[mbabura,
Ecuador seventeen indigenous people were
detained by the national army, one of them
being Jose Maria Cabascango.
Cabascango, a 28-year old Quechuaspeaking human rights secretary of the
Confederation of Indigenous Nationalities
of Ecuador (CONAlE), was arrested on
June 11, 1991. He was then handcuffed
and blindfolded before being transferred to
the custody of the Criminal Investigation
Service (SIC).
His arrest occurred during a 48-hour
strike by the indigenous communities of
Imbabura. The strikers were calling for
state intervention in the numerous land
conflicts in the area and for the disbanding
of the many private paramilitary groups
who are often involved in the disputes.
Many of the people taken into
custody were assaulted by the security
forces during their two days in captivity.

Response
Stender's .views
inaccurate
As students in the Sustainable
Agriculture program, our experiences on
the Organic Farm contrast substantially
from the view projected by Howard
Stender in his letter from the Sept 29
issue of the CPl.
We believe our work on the Farm
this year provided the practical experience
of the realities of farming. For a farm to
be sustainable, the farm must be able to
exist and prosper economically as well as
ecologically. While striving to practice
environmentally conscious agriculture, we
have learned that society plays as large a
role in agriculture as do farmers, and that
communities must be willing to support
the ecological ambitions of organic
farmers more than they do at present.
Change comes slowly for the farmer and
society, and although we believe a certain
amount of idealism is very productive, the
goal of our class is to produce farmers;
farmers that can deal realistically with the
social, environmental, political, and
economic aspects of agriculture during
these chaotic times.
All of us began the program new to
farming and gardening. Rather than
plunging into experimentation, we needed
to learn the basics of organic farming. To
expect of the Organic Farm high level
experimentation and research is to miss
the point entirely. To a certain extent, the
Farm and the farm program are just
beginning to flotJri:;h. The organic farm of
the past may be romanticized in the
present, but in reality, "':<J continue to deal
with many problems th'at resulted from
past over-idealized, 1 "experimental
gardening" (masses of weeds and soil pest
infestations).
The Farm has undergone radical
changes this year, and we are proud of our
successes. We have provided more food
and flowers (soul food) to the Evergreen
community than ever before. Produce not
purchased has been donated to the
Thurston County Food Bank. Money from
produce sales are going back into the
program - setting up a library, buying
tools, and obtaining a cooler. As the
Farm's successes continue, our program
envisions bringing on another faculty to
augment the educational opportunities of
the program, in and out of the field. The
nature of farming necessitates many hours
. of hard work, but we believe that another
faculty would ease this burden by teaching
us better work habits and styles.
We were disappointed that Howard
never came down to talk directly to either
Pat Moore, the farm manager, or the
students. We welcome him and anyone
interested from the Evergreen community
to come down to talk to us, volunteer
work, buy produce, or to just look around.
The Organic Farm needs as much support
from the Evergreen community as any
farmer needs from his/her community. In
the past, the survival of the Farm, within
the bureaucracies of the Evergreen system,
has always been tenuous. Hopefully, the
successes of this year represent a t\U1ling
point for the Farm and its supporters in
both the community and administration.
P.S. To show your support, please come
on out to Harvest Fair at the Organic Farm
for food, fun, and workshops. Sunday,
Oct II, 11 a.m. - 4 p.m.

(submitted by Chris Farmer)
F**k 'em if they
can't take a joke
I suppose part of it is youthful
exuberance, the desire to shock and
oftentimes offend,perhaps it's even simple
rebellion. In any case, what I'm driving at
is the fact that Evergreen brings out the
worst in me. (Or the best, if you're
coming from the standpoint of the Young
Republicans. )
I could justify my insensitivity and
mocking of the PC code by saying that the
students here are too complacent, too safe,
too insulated.
"Wait," the multitudes cry. "How
can anyone call Evergreen students
complacent?"
Well, you're narrowing your
definitions to the point of self-deception if
you defme complacency as merely the
phlegmatic acceptance of the government
and media
I'm sure plenty of us who endured
public or even parochial high schools have
nightmarish memories of beer-swilling
jock-os and permed little girls in their
Nordstrom's clothing. Back then, it was a
risk to the rest of your social career,
(possibly even academic career, depending
on how conservative the faculty was) if
you dared grow your hair out (for the
men, that is), if you spoke strongly against
the government or against the viewpoints
of your teachers, if you wore shabby
clothing, or if you tried to get fellow
students politically interested. Possibly you
dared this. Maybe that's why Evergreen
sounded so appealing.
However, in my short-lived
experience here (this is only my second
year), I have found that complacency is
the rule at this institution as well. The
jocks and bouncy little girls that I
abhorred in high school are disguised as
sincere, politically-correct, humorless,
guilt-ridden, "open-minded," causecarrying, pot-smoking Greeners that I
know and poke fun at today;
It is my belief that a new service for
incoming freshmen should be instituted.
We should make the assimilation process
even easier, get them chanting slogans
even sooner. Heaven knows, if any
individuals slip through the cracks without
the "correct" beliefs and causes, he or she
might (god help us) HURT
SOMEBODY'S FEELINGS, or might
actually (hold your breath, here)
QUESTION A PIECE OF RADICAL
DOGMA. Remember, complacency is
soothing, nobody gets hurt
At any rate, as I am staring at the
comics page of the CPJ, I am heartened a
bit to see the continuation of Paul H.
Henry's and Cat KeJUley's comic strips,
considering all the flak: that this campus
throws to those who dare make a joke, or
see any humor in the ultra-sincere. I hope
there's always a few people around this
campus willing to help the teeming
multitudes achieve their Recommended
Daily Allowance of Righteous Indignation.

In regards to Dr. Dick's article "Dr.
Dick talks free WashPIRG pizza" in the
Oct 1 issue of the CPl, I'd like to say
that Dr. Dick: is way off base.
First of all, that "nasty little charge"
that appears on oUr tuition biU is, in fact,
optional. How hard is it to say. "Hey, I'd
like to waiv~ the WashPIRG fee"? Unlike
any of the school organizations, we are not
funded by the Student Activities board.
Our money does not materialize from thin
air, we need to get our money from
somewhere. Besides, if Dr. Dick was as
alert as he would like all of us to believe,
he would know that last spring, those

Forum
'ivktimized" students voted to k~p
WashPIRG on for another term. Get used
to uS. We are here and, again, the fee is
waivable. We are a public interest group.
As far as I know our Earth and its
maintenance does concern most people.
As far as being a fraternity or a
sorority, neither I, nor any of the
WashPIRG members (as far as I know)
did any unreasonable feats to join the
organization.
Readers, as an interest point, I'd like
to say that the accusation about your $3.50
fee going to support our pizza habits is
totally unfounded. The pizza consumed at
few of our meetings is DONATED, yes
readers, you read correctly, donated by
various pizza restaurants around Olympia.
Your donation does in fact go to such
causes as hunger and homelessness,
Reduce Re-use Recycle, local farming, and
current issues such as Green Voter.
Perhaps in the future, Dr. Dick will
do some research on his subjects before
making, and for that matter, printing
groundless incriminations.

Pizza people
need love too
I hate opinions. I especially hate the
Forum section in the CPJ. But one event
last week angered me beyond silence. I
just want to say one thing. To the freak
who robbed the Brewery City Pizza
Driver, "Fuck you, you misemble little
bastard." I will personally try to kick the
shit out of anyone under 5 feet 4 inches
tall who assaults or harasses a delivery
person. Furthermore, to all you trust-fund
smart-ass college kids who don't tip the
pizza person, "Fuck you too." None of
you know anything about the pizza
industry because if you did you'd tip your
driver at least five dollars. Don't even try
to give me that "I'm too poor" shit.
You're rich enough to buy a pizza, you
can afford to give a gratuity. Phew ... now
that that's out of my system, there will be
an Amnesty International meeting on
Monday at 7 p.m. somewhere on campus,
just so you know.
Dante Salvatierra
Faculty member
insensitive
Before fall quarter began, I attended
the model seminar, which was designed to
give transfer Students a taste of the
Evergreen experience. We focused on a
wonderful book, Landscape: Memory, by
Matthew S~dler. The book centers on a
love affair between two young men in the
early 1900's. I came to the seminar eager
to talk about the beautiful passages that
moved and inspired me: such as "What is
it to be breathing the breath of another, to
lie in sleep, our open mouths touching? Is
. that all gone because his body's · gone?
Yes,"(pg. 299). Bqt the model seminar
was a painful experience, and I left with a
bad tasie in iny mouth.
I've taken care of myself by talking
with friends, with . folks · at the
Lesbian/Gay/Bisexual Peoples Resource
Center, and with Les Wong. I am in a
great program, with sensitive, aware
faculty. I could forget what happened in
the model seminar, chalk it up to how we
all have a lot to learn, including myself.
But the faculty member who created
such an uncomfortable and unsafe
environment in the model seminar is a
faculty member of this college. I can warn
other students away from her, and I can
discuss these issues in general, like I am
now.
The faculty member proposed that
we "not talk about homosexuality." This
put a distinct chill on our discussion. She
then went into long monologues about
subjects that had absolutely nothing to do
with the book. I had to bluntly interrupt
her so that students could have a chance to
speak. I considered walking out.
The faculty member had also made
a snide comment about an older student
being "a career student." This is an insult,
and to say the least, insensitive. Many of
us have families, work, and our lives to
live. If it takes us flfty years to earn a
degree, that's just the way it is. We all
have different learning styles and life
rhythms, and we all deserve respect and
support
Faculty members are co-learners, but
they also have more power than we
students do. Faculty can use their power to
support us. Or they can use their power to
create an unsafe, restrictive environment
Education is ~ important, ,to be
trifled with. For many students, education
equals survival. If we meet with more
racism, homophobia, and other abuse here
at school, we are streSsed out even further.
Education can literally mean the difference
between life and death.

Olympia community. We've held special
events to publicize the danger of toxins
and the need and benefits of recycling.
Whether by asking you to sign petitions or
just handing out fact sheets, WashPIRG
has been there to help inform and motivate
people about essential issues of our time.
This year, we want to do better still.
But we can only do so with your help!
This quarter, we will be focusing on either
three or four issues. The first is our Solid
Waste and Recycling Campaign. In PIRGs
across the nation, college students just like
you are working to promote legislation
that would require that half of all paper
and packaging be made from recycled
material, that would establish a national
~R:~I bottle bill, which is proven to increase
~
recycling,and to put a ten year
moratorium on waste incinemtors, which

struggle to survive. We want to help give
the small timers a break, and help educate·
the public about their livelihood as well. It
will be better for the farmers, and since
small fanners are less likely to use
pesticides, it's better for the consumer,
too. Also, in this election year, we'll be
trying to educate the voters about
environmental concerns, to compare the
records of local and state candidates,
(presidential is too easy).
Finally, if enough people participate.
we may · resurrect our Hunger and

"Columbia," until somebody remembered
that a new nation in South America had
already adopted that name (although
written Colombia) and the problem was
left unresolved. Furthermore, no word was
invented te refer to people of the United
States so it became a custom to say
"American." Interesting enough, a word
does exist in Spanish to refer to people
from the United States: estaudinense, a
person from Estados Unidos. With time
the words "America" and "American"
were monopolized by one of the countries
in the Western Hemisphere, the United
States. In this century,. the famous
architect Frank Lloyd Wright used the
word "Usonian" to refer to one of the
houses he had designed.
We Latin Americans have lost much
to the United States, among them the right
to use the words America and American
(we Colombians were close to loosing the
name of our country). Could we have at
least these two words back? Or more
exactly, could we share them again? I
know that it sounds much more grandiose
to say things like "All across America"
than "All across the United States," still
this does not justify this linguistic
insensitivity and imperialistic abuse. The
term "The Americas" will not do; it
implies that there is America (the United
States) and then the other Americas.

Body Count: it's the lyrics
BODY COUNT
BODY COUNT
TIMElWARNER
by Seth "Skippy" Long
If you didn't already know, scientists
discovered a liunus test to determine a
true young liberal this summer. They
called it Body Count. Yup. You see, if you
are white, under 30 and wanted to be a
true liberal this past summer you would
have gone right out and purchased lce-T's
latesL Not the one you can get now, the
bleached and scrubbed version, but the
original, down and dirty version. The one
that included track 18 - "Cop Killer."
For those who don't know, the
album 'caused a big stir in early summer
for the song "Cop Killer." After four
months in the stores, somebody finally
found that song (number 18!) and decided
that it wasn't such a good thing for kids to
hear. Police groups protested
Time/Wamer, the company responsible
and even the White House spoke against
the album. Hell, Oliver North wanted IceT tried in court for sedition.
Essentially, the whole thing got way
out of hand and millions of white
suburban kids ran out to the local CD
shop to get their copy before Time/Warner
pulled the infamous Track 18. But by late
July here in Olympia, only two shops
would even carry it! Rainy Day was out of
stock but would (thank god) carry the
album and Wherehouse at Capital Mall
had it prominently displayed in the center
of the store. All other area music shops
refused to carry it. Talk about selfcensorship in the music biz!
But back to the music ...LeL's face it,
Blade Runner is dark and compelling
BLADE RUNNER
A RIDLEY SCOTT FILM
OCTOBER 10, 7:30 P.M., LH3
by Andrew Lyons
Me and Him Productions continues
their eclectic film fest this Sunday with
Ridley Scott's foreboding vision of the
future, Blade Runner. Released in 1982,
Blade Runner is a science-fiction/film noir
loosely based on the book by Philip K.
Dick entitled Do Androids Dream of
Electric Sheep? If you haven't seen this
film yet, now is the time, 'cause it's free!
The film is set in Los Angeles in the
year 2019. L.A. smog emissions are worse
than ever, police cars can fly and huge
buildings loom over the streets as if there
were no earthquake building codes. In this
gloomy metropolis is Harrison Ford, a
retired "blade runner" whose job it was to
hunt down berserk androids called
"replicants."
Ford is forced out of retirement
when a group of renegade replicants (who
include Rutger Hauer and Daryl Hannah)
escape during a revolt on a far-off planet
and return to earth in search of their
maker. The scenery is dark and the action
is fun of suspense, especially the fmal
confrontation between Ford and Hauer.
Ford's relationship with a replicant, played
by Sean Young, adds a twist to the story
as well as to the concept of hero vs.
villain. Oscillating fans, bar patterns and
the art deco type furnishings complete the
noirish look.
Blade Runner is a dark and
compelling view of the not-so-distant
future. People aren't what, they seem and
sometimes they aren't even people... and
the L.A.P.D. can fly!
Blade Runner will be shown on Oct.
10 in Lecture Hall 3 at 7 p.m. Co-feature:
whoa, hey trip-out! It's Pink Floyd's The
Wall at 9 p.m.
Andy Lyons contributes regularly to
the CPJ, and tends to wear Converse AllStars, jeans and T-shirts. He knows how
to pronounce the word "geoduck"
correctly.

Ice-Tis no musician, let alone a balladeer
and Body Count proves this beyond a
, shadow of a doubt But that's really not
the main point of the album. We all could
have guessed, even before listening, to it,
that the music would be shit It's the lyrics
that count (on some songs). The songs
range from the socially conscious to the
utterly stupid. Let's take a quick look at
, some of the lyrical highlights, shall we?
From "Body Count": "You try to
ban the A.K./l got ten of 'em stashed/with
a ' case of hand grenades!" Try this from
"Evil Dick": "My girl caught me skeezin'
and said/I wasn't shit!/l said, 'It wasn't
me, baby Jit was that muthafucka/evil
dick.'" And finally, the chorus to "Cop
Killer": "COP KILLER, it's better you
than me/COP KILLER, fuck police
brutality!/COP KILLER, I know your
family's grievin'/(FUCK 'EM!) /COP
KILLER, but tonight we get even."
The bottom line is that Body Count
is a shitty album. It is a raging. success,
however, at stirring social debate;,-And
above all, it is an impressive addition to'
any CD collection if you care to show off
how hip, liberal and in-touch you are.
Would I pay full price for it again? Nope,
it doesn't come with "Cop Killer"
anymore. Should you tape it off someone
who owns an "uncensored" version? You
bet. After all, these are the liberal '90s.
Despite innuendo to the contrary.
Seth "Skippy" Long's roommate claims
that Skippy listens to the Body Count
album quite frequently . "All the time," to
quote.

Was the sound quality really that shitty?
INTERNA T10NAL POP

VARIOUS ARTISTS
cg1RECORDS
by Jane Laughlin
Oile year following its recording,
records has fmally released the double
album
documenting
last
August's
International
Pop
Underground
Convention, a week-long fest of
independent musicians and spoken word
artists from all over the country. I of
course did not attend, as I had yet to
remove myself from the underside of that
rock called Seattle, WA. Shame on me.
®
So anyway, I worked in a record
store this summer and- toward the end of
August, we received three copies of the
IPU CD. I first had to gaze at the
packaging .. _ picture of Beat Happening
(check), picture of some person who I
should probably recognize but I . don't
(check), dramatic shot of . member of
Nation of Ulysses (Ian) flying through
the air (check), "cute" photo of young
child dressed up as punk (check below),
and group photo of neighborhood kids
lounging on the sidewalk (,:~eck). On the
spiel about
opposite side is the usual
new modrockers, gravediggers, and "the
revolution."
Being the wannabe ~iy Girl which
19
I am, I immediately placed the disc into
the player and pressed go. I have listened
to it a sufficient amount of times now ...
and I wish I had been there, partially
because I want to know if the songs
chosen were really the best of that band's
set, and if the sound quality was really
that shitty. I doubt it on both counts.
My personal favorites would have
to be "Shakedown" by N.O.U., "Bill" by
Seaweed, "They Don't Call . Them
Chihuahuas Anymore" by Shadowy Men
On A Shadowy Planet, "Sandi's Song"
by Kreviss, "Reprovisional" by Fugazi,
and "Punk . Rock Dream Come True" by
Bratmobile. Oh, and the Scrawl song.

assured me more were on order. Dirt has
many attributes, but uplifting lyrics do not
make the list The record chronicles the
dichotomy of drug addiction.
The release of this record is a long
time coming for the band. They recently
concluded their "shitty city tour," of which
The Evergreen State College's Olympia
Campus was a part I had the pleasure of
catching their show in Spokane,
Washington. To my surprise, Alice In
Chains rocked.
At their listening party, held at the
Pacific Science Center's Laser Theater, I
heard the record in its entirety for the first
time. The listening party was actually
pretty cool; food and beer were supplied,
the entire band was there and the laser
show was interesting. But, after drinking a
few beers, almost everyone had to leave
during the show to use the bathroom. In
the record's liner notes Jerry Cantrell
thanked, among others, Eddie Van Halen,
Mike Starr (super cool name) and Pauly
Shore.
The record is produced by Dave
Jerden. He has also recently produced
records for Mary's Danish and Jane's
Addiction and should be applauded for
achieving original sounds for each. Most
vocal tracks on the record are fairly dry,
with Zeppelinesque ("Whole Lotta Love")
background tracks. The guitar tracks are
heavy with reverb and distortion that is
The
characteristic of metal music.
Cantrell songs - "Them Bones," "Dam
That River," and "Rooster" (named for his
father) - rock, in my book. The majority
of the songs have great choruses that are
reminiscent of pop melodies.
"Rooster" is about the time Jerry' s
dad spent in Vietnam, I think. This is one
song I can relate to, although my parents
were on the protesting side during the war.
People of our generation are greatly
influenced by their parents involvement in
Vietnam. "lunkhead," with its "what's my
drug of choice?" line, is followed by
. "Dirt," exploring the despair of addiction.
Then comes i'Good Smack." "Hate to
Feel," written by vocalist Layne Staley, is
about.l)eroin addiction and growing up to
be like his father. "Down in a Hole" is
about more than the hole of consuming
drug use, but heroin overtones are
included. I can say that I'm glad these
. boys are around to talk about this, rather
than being another "Seattle Sound"
statistic.
"You can not understand the user's
mind," said Staley on the record. I think
he may be right Heroin passes through the
blood/brain barrier, it acts like morphine
does in the body, in the brain. The body
produces opiates so, unlike many drugs,
the body can metabolize the drug without
much damage to its organs. When people
take non-pharmaceutical forms of the drug
they don't know how much they are
gelling and an overdose of heroin causes
the respiratory rate to fall and then stop.
The withdrawals from heroin are like
being the sickest you have ever been in
your life. But there is no real physical
danger from withdrawal, and methadone is
used sometimes to reduce the mental
addiction. The greatest risk from LV. drug
use comes from the high rate of · HIV
infection in that population. At Drop in the
Park, Pearl Jam's Eddie Vedder said,
"Heroin got me where I am today," a
possible reference to the heroin overdose
. of Mother Love Bone's lead singer, Andy
Wood. I hope we don't see a member of
Alice In Chains say the same thing.
Overall they are talented musicians.
Layne's voice is beautiful and strong,
Jerry is hot on lead guitar and the rhythm
section, Mike Starr and Sean Kinny, are
tight. Alice In Chains will be touring with
Ozzy Osborne this fall .
