Cultural caucus supporters dominate
meeting called to question new system
by Tim GlbSOll

In an all-carnpus forum attended by
150

students many opinions were
expressed on an array of issues, but very
few decisions were made on the new
"cu11Ural caucus" student governance

system.

AMENDING THE STUDENT UNION
CONSTITUTION
To amend this Student Union
ConstiUJtion, the proposed amendment
must be approved by the Student Union
using the established decision making
process. Upon approval amendments must
be ratified by two thirds of the existing
caucuses. For an existing recognized
caucus to change its name it need only
follow its own existing decision making
rules.

l
Todd Buckley, 22, who was a sUJdent
at Evergreen for two years between 1987
and 1989, died Friday, April 20, at
Virginia: Mason Hospital in Seattle. A
classmate remembers him as a clear
thinker with broad interests and a
personable nature.

My Love
While she has been far away
Lesson has been to see the flowers,
Cool, budded in a furled fold, and
leave them rooted in perfection
without watering them in expectation
of blooming for my delight_
On a lapel, in a containing vase,
Their evaginating colors, fragrant musk
Honey sweet ambrosia consumed greedily,
Better left living than tainted by possession,
Pinned up, admired, lost to vanity.
Then their bodies are thrown away with the trash.
Wolf Egidy
Dinner
Her room was quiet
unlike her roommates
the clatter of pans
and the scent of spaghetti
crept under the door
clouding our conversation
and shading our words
This won't work
I said
No
She said
and someone dropped a glass
I heard them swear
and grabbed my coat
simultaneously

sometimes I just let it ring lie back and wait
letting someone else be
frustrated for a while
wondering it the person
on the other end can tell somehow
I'm here listening
For the ringing to stop hell I pay for the thing
at least sometimes
it's mine if anyone's
and just because
'
something's yours doesn't mean you have to use it
could be a bill collector a relative
a wife an old employer
who finally figured it out
bad news more likely no news
just another drunk
trying to make contact
let it ring although then again
it could be you
but you never let it ring that long
only my love for you
rings that long
if it's my love for you let it ring
I can't answer it
if you won't

I'm not staying for dinner

I'll call you when
the ringing stops

After forum facilitator Ken Basset
read through Evergreen's social contract
and laid the ground rules for discussion,
he opened up the microphone to the
forum and invited everyone to voice their
views and opinions on the new student
government.
One of the fIrst topics of discussion
focused on the legality of the new
student union.
Brendon Williams raised questions as
to the legality of the new student
government in relation to State and
Federal Civil Rights laws.
However, Mary Lou O'Neil asserted
the new government's legality. O'Neil
said that Evergreen legal counsel and
Assistant Attorney General Mike Grant
had assured Vice President for Student
Affairs Gail Martin of the "cultural
caucus" system's legality earlier that day.
Many people also voiced their
concerns over being linked to a specific
cultural group that does not necessarily
reflect their interests.
Adrian Cheeks, who said his views
differ greatly from those of most AfricanAmericans in Umoja and on campus,
contended that he would not be
represented in the now- system.
"[The caucuses] should not be based
on race, creed, religion, or sex," he Said,
"it should be based on ideology."
Jeff Richards, who was vocal
throughout the meeting, questioned the
fact that the seven "arbitrarily selected"
caucuses didn't fully represent the student
body.
However, supporters of the new
student government, such as Hugh Moog,
1990-91 S&A coordinator, pointed to the
amendment procedure and contended the
document could be expanded to include
more cultural caucuses.
"It's a living document,· he said,
"It's not carved in stone."
In a meeting plagued with
interruptions
and
loud
emotional
outbursts, Debbie Dillenbeck, SCC
volunteer, spoke of her frustration with
trying to speak ha mind.
"I den't think what I meant to say
got across," she said.
Dillenbeck said she meant to relate
her misgivings about the equal
representation of the caucuses, but she
also didn't believe the old SU represented
the students equally either.
Tempers flared at one point in the
meeting when Rooke Adenkanbi berated
ePJ cartoonist Paul Henry, after he took
the microphone in an etIon to explain his
latest editorial cartoon.
Adenkanbi vehemently criticized
Henry's portrayal of the new cultural
caucus system as being comparable to the
racist system of South Africa She
described the cartoon as racist.
Mark Sullivan, S&A coordinator and
cultural caucus co-author, summed his
position on the new system toward the
end of the two-and-a-half hour forum .
"The concept of majority rule is no
langa
an
acceptable
form
of
governance," he said.

Applying to a rabbinical college,
Robins said, "is like applying to any
graduate schooL It's like geuing a PhD.
in theology." Accmling to Robins, it
takes five or six years to complete the
program, depending on how much
Hebrew one knows.
Mlcr hel' application interview,
Robins plans to learn Hebrew when she
goes to Israel for four months. She will
visit her sister, who has lived there for
ten years, and plans to live on a kibbutz.
According to Robins, kibbutzim are
collective settlements and each has its
own industry, such as farming. The
kibbutz she plans to live on makes bread.
After Israel, Robins plans to spend a
month in Greece for "fun in the sun."
When Robins first came to Evergreen
in 1985, rabbinical college was not in her
plans. Instead, she "rebelled for a couple
of years" and Judaism was not a focus
for her.

made it easy for Robins to put less
emphasis on Judaism, it also brought
Judaism to the forefront. "It's the first
time I really acknowledged this is a nonJewish world. The world really does not
get who I am."
But that didn't stop Robins from
understanding herself. "Coming out as a
lesbian helped me to come out again as
a Jew," she explained. It was a matter of
"being honest with myself as I am."
While at Evergreen, Robins acted as
coordinator of the college's Jewish
student group, Maarava. "I've thoroughly
enjoyed !he nearly two years I've spent
coordinating
Maarava, "
she
said.
However, "I'm not leaving with 8 lot of
energy," she added.
That lack of energy Robins attributes
to what she thinks are people's
misconceptions about prejudice on
campus.

unwilling to admit the reality of antiJewishness in the world," Robins
explained. "Jews are in a difficult
position because most have light sldn."
Because of this, many people do not
recognize Jews' ethnicity, she said.
While some Jews do have societal
privileges due to their skin color, Robins
said, she believes it is a simplistic
approach to look at Jews by the color of
their skin "considering Jewish history.
Before the holocaust Jews were very
integrated into Gennan society."
. Anti-Jewishness is not as easy to
pinpoint as other forms of bigotry,
Robins said. She said she prefers the
tenn "anti·Jewishness" to "anti-Semitism"
because she considers the latter to be an
ethnocentric term. Not everyone who is
Semitic is Jewish, she explained.

Rochelle Robins is well aware of the
understatement when she says becoming
a rabbi is something "8 lot of people
don't think about as an optioo."
The 22-year-old Evergreen alumna
estimates that 10 years ago, there were
10 to 20 women rabbis in the United
States. She thinks the number is close to
200 now, and plans on pushing the
number up one more by becoming a
rabbi herself.
Why does she want to be a rabbi? "I
feel there are a lot "of Jews who do not
fIt into mainstream Judaism." These
people include African Americans,
lesbians and gays, and !hose in interfaith
marriages, Robins said. "I want to find a
way to reach those people and help them
find a comfortable place in the Jewish
world."

Beyond 'special interest group' politics
by Sean J. Starke and Scot Wheat
As the Earth day hype wanes, there
are many fundamental questions which
are yet to be posed. much less addressed.
If we are to believe corporate and mass
media dogma, "we" are all equally
responsible for the destruction of the
environment It is undoubtedly important
to make people aware of environmental
issues, but to claim that we are all
equally responsible for its degradation
amounts to yet another "blame the
, , " argumen t.
H umans are not
VlCbm
inherently bent on destroying the ' planet
(as some would suggest), rather it is the
current socio-economic structure which
has produced the crisis that we now
face.
If we are serious about our attempts

on reaping the highest profits at the

mTius leads to the degradation of the
environment and large portions of society,
because CEO's and presidents of major
corporations must maximize profits at any
cost or lose their jobs. This structural
condition leads to an emphasis on
lowering the cost of production, which in
turn leads to the destruction of people
and the planet in the name of profit.
Who benefits from such a system?
In the United States profits go to those
people and institutions which. hold stock
in major corporations. In "third world"
countries. those who own the land benefit
from selling cash crops to the "ftrst
world. "
Who suffers in the United States?
Everyone. Yet some suffer more than
others. For instance. while Peabody coal
and the residents of Los Angeles benefit
from the extraction of coal on the Four
Comers reservation, Navajo and Hopi
Indians witness the destruction of their
sacred lands, their way of life. and their
health. While oil refineries and petro-

chemical plants in Puerto Rico fill the
gas tanks of the east coast for profit, the
island and its people suffer from
contaminated ground water and massive
air borne discharges; which has made
Puerto Rico one of the worst victims of
pollution in the world (for more
information refer to the April 25 edition
of
the
Guardian;
"Environmental
Racism ... ").
Who suffers in the "third world"?
We hear much about the destruction of
ram' fiorests . We also hear about "death
squad democracy."
Yet, the crucial
element that is often left out is the
relationship between the two.
In countries like EI Salvador,
Honduras. and Guatemala, the most fertile
land is owned by an extremely small
portion of the population, who produce
cash crops (i.e, coffee, bananas. cotton,
etc.) for export. Massive amounts of
insecticides and fertilizers are sprayed on
the crops which poison the ground water.
The shortage of land due to cash crop
production forces the poor majority into
the mountains where they cut down trees,
erode the top soil, and destroy natural
watersheds in the attempt to feed
themselves. The call for land reform,
which amounts to utilizing the fertile land
held by oligarchs for subsistence
agriculture, has been consistently met by
state sponsored violence and repression.

which have been forgone in the name of
profit. Thus, environmental destruction
and human misery are the result of a
production process which focuses on
profit maximization.
To claim that "we" are all equally
guilty of creating the environmental crisis
is simply false. However, it is true that
we all must become aware of the
envtrO'nmental crisis and take an active
role in creating a sustainable future for
all societies. Certainly one component of
this effort involves fundamental changes
in our personal habits. Yet, this alone
will not solve the problem.
It must also be realized that human
misery and environmental destruction are
interconnected in the sense that they have
the same roots--an economic system
based on production for profit. A society
based on social justice would necessitate
an ecologically sustainable production
structure.
This realization is a
fundamental
step
towards
uniting
environmentalists and "political activists"
in order to create a future based on the
health of the planet and humanity.

encounter

by Chris Bader
It was in February of 1989 that I met
"D.P.," a man who has claimed over a
dozen Bigfoot sightings. He lives in the
small town of Carson in Slcamania
County, Washington.
My research partner and I pulled inlO
his snow covered driveway. A group of
dogs converged around the car, barking
excitedly.
Timber covered hills
surrounded the farm and extended into
the distance.
D.P., a man of about eighty, emerged
from his home and strode towards me,
extendinJ[ his hand. He wore a "safari"

hat and a tattered green jacket with a
patCh that said "Bigfoot Country."
His pants were tom and held together

surrounded his wrinkly face; his hands
were gigantic compared to his arms and
had a leathery texture.
Bigfoot has become an inextricable
part of D.P.'s life. His home is filled

with Bigfoot clippings and paintings; his
shed holds a nine foot tall, "life size,"
says D.P., hair-covered model of Bigfoot
D.P. IOld me several stories about
Bigfoot, including his closest encounter:
,He was paddling down a river in
Canada in late 1976, on his way to a
deserted mining cabin when he ~oticed a
still, dade shape among the bushes on the
riverbank.
He paddled closer 10
investigate.
There, he said, was a 9 1/2 foot tall
"Sasquatch. "
It had broad shoulders and jet-black
hair which formed a "cone" on the top of
its head. Its face was leathery and also
It stood with its hands fumly at
its sides.
D.P. observed the creature for 20
mitlutc:S, all the while trying to keep his
near 10 shore.
He was close enough to see its eyes
noted that the creature appeared more
human than animal.
. Eventually becoming bored with his
stand-off with Bigfoot, D.P. began to turn
his boat around. When he looked back,
the creature had disappeared.
--Next week D.P. tells me about
Bigfoot's habits, likes, and dislikes.

Stop oppression by TESC 'star chamber'
by Brendan Williams
Last Thursday there was an
intelesting presentation in Red Square. It
was a demonstration of support for the
right, as m<:agoized by the United States
Supreme Court, to bum the American
flag.
I find it very disingenuous of some
people to complain about flag blJrning.
. An American flag is most likely a piece
of polyester, produced in Asia, that is
owned by' the persop who bought it. He
or she can Oy it, use it as a dishtowel,
or set fire to it. It's personaJ piopetty.
It is ironic that a person can bum the
far more
Constitution, which is
substantive than a flag. Worse, many of
thoo~ complaining about desecratioo of
the flag step on the values it supposedly
symbolizes every day. They decry
Affirmative Action, the right to an
abortion, and undermine other aspects of
our civil liberties. They endeavor daily to
suppress freedom of speech to the point
where we only have the freedom to say
what they want to hear.
One person with whom I've argued
these iSsue& is Mary Lou O'Neil. We
disIlgreed openly on the recent campus
safety bill; SSB 6234. I suppmed the
creation of an armed police force on
campus because I saw an Administtation
doing nodting in , response to safety
problems, particularly assaults and
harassment victimizinll women. I also
pm:eived the alternative to be the

Thurston County Sheriff's Department on

campus daily, mtber than our own
community force. I may have been
wrong. Yet I had the ript 10 be wrong.
Mary Lou espoused the popuJar
position. Unsurprising, Most importantly,

Opinion
though. she asswned power in her
opposition to the bill. She testified before
committees saying that she rep-esented
the Student Union--and thus students as
a whole. She negotiated on our behalf.
This despite the fact that memory
dictated she had only been given
pennission to bring the student
govenunent's position to a hearing in
Bellingham. She said that there was an
"understanding" that she waS the lobbyist
This does not equate to appointment
through process.
Remarkably, Mary Lou told the
Senate Committee on Ways & Means
that we'd agree to have an "armed
security" (frightening concession) if the
legislatlml would pay for it. This deflated
the mOOll argument, making it a fISCal
one. Accordingly, the Senate passed the
bill overwhelmingly; 39·10.,
Things changed on February 20
when I wrote a memo to the House
Committee on Higher Educatioo pointing
out that Mary Lou had not been
authorized to represent the Student Union.

Oh, how quick hez response wasl
I'd had all sorts of fallout from taking
my unpopular position. Obscene phone
calls, defamatmy mai1, a break·in attempt.
A ~ed lawsuit 'That all seemed to
pale in comparison to the fact that
someone had finally told the truth as they
saw it about Mary Lou.
We met for an effort at conciliation
at Capital La1ce one sunny Sunday. She
assured me that she had never
backstabbed me, or anyone for that
matu'Z. Under pressure, though, she
admitted that she'd tried to have me fired
from my internship. What she didn't
disclose, amidst all this blustery good
will, is that two days prior she had
submitted a proposal to censure me to the
Student Union. She didn't accord me the
right of the accused to confront her or
his accuser. She had presented allegations
of illegality as statements of fact.
Although she withdrew it after I found
out about it, the damage had been done.
The accusations were phrased as an edict,
it appeared as though I'd been found
guilty.
The frivolity continues. Now she has
fIled a grievance against me: alleging
violations of the Social Contract and the
Student Conduct Code. I'd tried to
discourage her. I'd pointed out that the
Social Contract is so vague that anyone
can hide behind it to mtionalize their
efforts at persecution. I'd told her that
the Student Conduct Code is monstrously

unfair, because it holds that the "Formal
rules of evidence do not apply."
In plain English this means that
students at this wonderfully progressive
institution can be accused on the basis of
hearsay, and kicked out Wling gossip
instead of facts. In light of this, I pointed
out to Mary Lou that by fIling a
grievance she could be reinforcing and
validating through her ' actions an
illegitimate and injudicious process. She
could set back the cause of student
empowerment. She fIled anyway.
I went in last week to talk to the
campus grievance officer. I told him that
I bitterly resented student disagreements
being brought before and judge(! by the
Administration. I noted that college policy
cannot be at variance with state and
federal law which protects my freedom of
speech.
Unremarkably
he
didn't
automatically throw out her complaint.
After all, I'm threatening the status quo.
I see this as a dangerous possibility
for establishing terrible precedents. Where
one member of the Evergreen community
cannot comment on another. Where the
Administration dermes the parameters of
free speech. This is social fascism. I will
ftght it as I have fought all repression
directed at students.
I'm sick of gossip behind closed
doors. No secrecy. Here's the truth; let
the light of public scrutiny shine on it.
Allow no student to be oppressed in
some "star chamber" by Administrative
inquisitors and their abetting puppets;
students who pay lip service to protecting
minority viewpoints.
Burn the flag? Sure, if you want to.
But burn the Student Conduct Code while
you're at it!

only hope that this awareness and

Analysis
enthusiasm does not wane in the days
and months to follow. Pollution is
constantly increasing, and global wanning
is threatening all of us. Unfortunately, at
this point the bulk of the burden remruns
predominantly on the public sector to
recycle, ride bicycles, and whatever it
takes because President Bush is not
committed to the cause.
Factories of all sorts continue to
spew out an overwhelming amount of
deadly chemicals, and little is being done
to stop them. Mr. Bush has decided that
doing something about the environment
would fit better in some other president's
budget
Nevertheless, America desperately
needs a responsible leader to take charge
of the present environmental situation and
to encourage those who are reluctant to
do their pan. By the time a leader has
the guts to take action, climate wanning
most likely will be right around the

comer and breathing hotly down our
necks.
Currently,
President
Bush
is
advocating a policy of 'more study--Iess
action' on the environment in favor of a
stress-free economy. In other words,
Bush is trading the death of planet Earth
for the almighty dollar!

CPJ ad offends
reader
I realize that free advertising on all
subject matter exists on this campus.
However, I feel that it is necessary to
complain
about
the
Smartfood
advertisements. Personally I am appalled
by the fonn of advertising Ihey are
doing, mainly because it is blatantly
sexisL To be more specific, I will
comment on eacb of the three ads which
appeared in the April 19 Cooper Point
Journal [Vol. 20 Issue 21].
On page 5 there is a car on lovers'
lane. It leads us to assume that two
lovers are down in the car, getting
"down." The man, it is assumed, is in the
drivers seat thinking about getting into
her panties; she is thinking about
Smartfood. This has two connotations.
The first, that all men think about is sex,
which would make me angry if I were a
man. The second one is that women are
not interested in sex, but rather food.
The next ad is on page 7. Here
children are used to advertise sex and
food. There are three faces of angelic
boys singing in a church choir. One is
thinking about Smartfood and Ihe other
about "girlie" magazines. I consider this
to be exploitive and pornographic.
The last ad appeared on page 9. In

Assumption making is usually
something that we do without being
aware of doing so. If prejudice is to
include this type of behavior then
prejudice, as a personal experience, is
psychological in nature and not purely a
matter of an individual's opinion. It is a
way to deal with fears which arise out
of a limited perspective and experience.
I believe that such movies as

'racial, religious, and sexual categories

religious group is singled out for such
hateful treatment in a student newspaper
in the United States.

frc.m che supposed general irrelevance of
the subject matter, but from an inability
to understand certain concepts which the
potential learner gave up trying to
understand because Ihey were too hard.
So now mathematicians are often
stereotyped as drab individuals wich no
sense of fun and publishers warn science
writers that for every mathematical
equation in their book, the number of
people who will buy and read the book
will be reduced by half. In my view,
machematics is one of the greatest
achievements of mankind. It is not valued
proportionally in my society.
Basic human values, as I see them,
such as the ability to question one's own
beliefs and actions, standing by one's
own beliefs and not changing them unless
you learn of a more effective, alternative
belief, expressing one's self as an
individual and not as a member of some
abstracted group, are the kinds of things
that will undennine prejudice in all of its
manifestatiOIlS. It is in this sense that we
can all say we are working together to
form a just society.

APRIL 21, 1990
by Eric Shuler
It's no wonder Take 6 asked Tuck &
Patti to begin a night of unstoppable
gospel. Imagine the guitar sound of
Stanley Jordan with a strum thrown in
every third or fonh no~. Add the rich
voice of a gospel choir soloist and you
get an idea of the duo's sound.
The two played a mix of their own
songs along with a few covers. Their
own songs included, "Take My Breath
Away," and "My Romance." Patti led the
audience in a perfect three part harmony



ISO,

during a cover of Cyndi Lauper's, "Time
After Time." She then left Tuck alone
with his guitar to play his interpretation
of, "Over The Rainbow," from the
Wizard of Oz, interspersed with riffs
from, "If I Only Had a Heart." The two
played for an hour including the encore
and left the stage hand-in-hand to the
applause of a satisfied crowd.
I saw Take 6 at the Paramount and
at the state vocal/jazz choir competition
at Green River Community College.
They're an acapello gospel group from
Nashville. Never self righteous, they sing
only about God. They are all young,
black, and handsome, a combination the
women in the audience obviously liked.
In fact, while backstage with the group

aftez the first show, I was shocked to see
yOWlg women become positively giddy
aftez meeting them. The group has a
complete rhythm section, complete with
drmns and bass that shake the house
seats, but the instruments are their voices .
As their chief arranger, Mart Kimble
said, "With six voices, we can sing full
chords.
There's
something
about
harmonies that moves people." The
audience at both shows were defmitely
moved.
.
The show flowed easily on both
nights as the group sang songs from their
self-titled first album such as, "Getaway
Jordan," "If We Ever," and their
crossover hit, "Spread Love."
They
extended nearly all the songs and during,
"Mary," Mark Kibble even went into the
crowd for some inspired audience
participation. During both shows, Cedric
Dent, the group's soon-to-be docwr in
music theory, showed his considerable
piano skills on, "Oh Danny Boy," without
vocal accompaniment.
The two shows were very similar.
Even the jokes and song introductions
were almost the same. The Green River
show was abbreviated by one song which

actually was an improvement from the
first. Rather than ending the encore with,
"Something Within Me; a song from
their upcoming album which; of course,
no one had heard, they ended with,
"Mary," a soloists' dream, from the fust
album.
At the Paramount, all six were
impeccably dressed in suits while at
Green River, they opted for t-shirts and
jeans. At both shows, though, the
message was the same--the happiness
they've found through Christ At the
Paramount, the audience responded to the
message with shouts of, "Hallelujah!"
and, "Tell it, brother!" At Green River, I
was suprised to hear the audience give
even more epthusiastic applause to the
group's words.
Take 6 probably will not return for
a while since they aren't on tour. They
just pick a city and show up. There are
certainly some newly inspired singers,
though, (with very hoarse voices) in
Seattle, Auburn, and even in Olympia I
suggest warm water for the pipes and lots
of practice for the sound.
Eric Shuler is an Evergreen student
and does concert reviews for the CPJ,

feelings, or two-dimensional prototypes to
be exploited for in best sitcom style. At
times it reminded me of TV's Family
Ties, which often featured "serious"
topics, only to sell out the hard truth for
the easy laugh almost every time. Fat
Lady's message, that we must learn to
accept ourselves and others as we are,
gets obscured by too many obvious lines
like "She'll fmd another man long before
she finds herself."
Kris Mann and Jenine Gillie play
JelUlY, a nurse who' s recently lost 87
pounds; Mann is the new thin Jenny,
Gillie her fonner fat self, who hangs
around in spiritual fonn, dispensing
strident advice as she forages for junk
food. Together they visit their family in
preparation for a high school reunion. At
the house, we meet her doting mother
(Becky Morrison), her neurotic sister
(Donna Pallo), her layabout, frustrated
writer brother (Robert Richie) and her
nosebleed-prone fiance (Michael Sacks).
It's a cast of characters with "sitcom
pilot" written all over it, and too much
of the dialogue stayed right at that level.
However, Mann and Gillie make a
lovely yin-yang personality, Mann
struggling to keep up appearances, while
Gillie, devil in her ear, tells her what's
really
going
on.
Gillie's
broad
shenanigans are a bit predictable, but silo
n:deems them through her likability and
sheet comedic energy, as when she limps
along aftez the jogging Mann wailing,
"Airl (pant pant pant) There's DO airl
(pant, pant) Where did the air go?"
Gillie also provides the poignant final
moment; having taught Jenny all she
knows, she acknowledges that "it's over"
by singing a beautiful version of "Over
the Rainbow." It's a moving acceptance
of death, sung in a surprisingly powerful
voice, and redeems, if it does not excuse,
the bald writing and manipulative laugb
pandering that went before.

Andrew HamUn's elwlesterol count is

News Release
The Evergreen State College Indian
Center presents New York's unpredictable
Spiderwoman Theater, 8 pm Wednesday
May 9, in the Recital Hall, for a series
of slapstick yarns corralled into one "wild
and crazy" wild west show.
Spiderwoman Theater will perfonn
Winnetou's Snake Oil Show From
Wigwam City. Tickets are available at
the door, $6 general, $4 for students.
This four-wom!\D group's singing,
dancing and clowning around introduce
"Indian vaudeville" with a fast-paced
show that delivers a hilarious slap at the
"Plastic Shamans" and new-age messiahs
who try to sell Native American
spirituality.
Spiderwoman Theater has enamored
critics. Seattle's Arts Focus called them
"an odd and delightful mixture of Native
American mythology and slapstick
comedy a la George Burns and Jack
Benny."
However, under all the horseplay and
frolic, a message comes through,
reminding us that a lot of people's
preconceived notions about Native
Americans are nothing but a pile of
buffalo chips.

Spiderwoman ceremoniously torches
just such piles with its fuel of satirical
skits and stories. Just like at a campfire,
the skits are roughly drawn, infonnal and
depend on the participation of the
audience. "When they're going full
throttle, the Spiderwoman Thestez could
easily be the. act David Letterman always
meant · to have on his show but never
found," said New York's Downtown
critic.
On first blush, you may wonder what
this "Indian Vaudeville" group's actiOllpacked show has in common with a
Spiderwoman's web. The link is direct.
The group took the name of the goddess
of creation who taught her people to
design and weave.
She inspires the
group's working technique, known as
"storyweaving."
Funny? You'll be woven into a
pattern of laughter, following characters
the likes of Princess Pissy Willow of the
"Mish Mash" Tribe, Rootin-Tootin
Cowboy and Mother Moon Face.
The show is sponsored by the
Evergreen State College Indian Center.
