A group of Evergreen students are
participating in a project to build·a solarpowered vehicle ·in Olympia.
The project is a joint operation of
SoIT9!8 and The Global Walk.
.The primary purpose of this project is
to increase awareness and education of
the value of solar energy. This is
necessary so that the Banh and all her
inhabitants will exist as they do today.

Instead. we must make a personal
investment today, through conservation
and 'alternative energy sources such as
solar energy. wind. hydroelectric and

the walk (across the US.)
Through this experience these people
will meet tens of thousands of people.
This well develop a better understanding
of our .world. both individual states and
as a whole Earth.
The Global Walk seeks to explore
the possibilities of all solutions by giving
people the knowledge and the will to
detennine solutions which best fit their
own needs and values. The walkers will
teach people how to be more globally
responsible and politically active.. by
networking already existing organizations
and setting up fairs.
One of the most valuable elemenl8
of the fairs wiu be the Solar Energy
Display. The display will consist of a
demonstration of photovo1taic power.
passive solar energy (water and space
heating), how-to demonstrations. and
infonnation packets on available solar
energy technologies and services. The
display will allow help establish a
network for solar energy enthusiasts.
It is the Solar Energy display which
the Solar Apprentice will be of its
greatest use. Joining the Global WiUk in
Arizona on April 15. 1990, the Solar
Apprentice will travel to New York. The
vehicle will provide an eye-catching
attraction to draw people to the solar
energy display and demonstrate effective
photovoltaic power.

Computer Services will install a
brand-new series of advanced AT&T
computers in the Computer Center
sometime during Winter Quarter.
"The intent is to focus on high-end
computing," said Pietras, the Manager of
Academic Computing at the Computer
Center.
According to Pietras, 20 new "386. based" AT&T microcomputers, each with
a color monitor, expanded memory, and
The Key to Safe
Driving When You've
Been Drinking
a mouse, will be installed during Winter
Break and will serve as a lab for more
advanced computer activities.
Although Computer Services intends
the new computers to be used primarily
as a lab for academic programs which
require more advanced computing
capabilities, Pietras said that the lab could
be used by individuals who also need
access to high-end ¢Omputers and as an
overflow lab for sU!dents in need of
word-processing during peak hours at the
Computer Center.
However, ·we're still reviewing
that," Pietras said
A $400,000 grant to the college
from AT&T made the new lab possible,
Pietras said
Under the conditions of the grant,
AT&T will provide the computers, the
overhead projection system, and the
networking from the new lab to the
printing· services in the existing Center.
TESC
will
provide
the
implementation of the new.lab which,
according to Campus Architect Ion
Collier, will consist mostly of electrical
engineering, directed by a hired
consultant, and "a little demolition."
Pietras said that the motivation for
obtaining the AT&T grant came from the
program "Science of Mind" which needed
more advanced computers in order to
establish a link in their studies between
computer science and psychology.

Process plagues locatIon plannIng
by Ted Mahr
The State of Washington will decide
soon on the new locations for two state
agencies: Labor and Industries, and the
Department of Ecology. The state can set
the
example
for
protecting
the
environment, or for creating fluther urban
sprawl when it makes its decision.
However, all the state has heard from
arc real estate brokers, because the
decision making process for both building
sites is being held in secret by a group
of just five people who have received
input from only realtors. The five people
who will make the L&I site decision will
be: Joseph A. Deer (the Director of
L&I), Ralph Munroe (the Secretary of
State), and an unidentified archi~t,
planner, and engineer. The five who wJll
make the Ecology decisio~ ~ill be th~e
same five, except that Christme Gregoll'C
(the Director of Ecology) will sit on the
panel.
The detision-makin~ is on the fas.ttrack, with no opportumty for ~e public
10 comment before the ~anel decides. For
example, th.e frr~t m~ung for ~e Labor
and Industries SIte will be held m secret
without public participation on December
16.
However the new sites for both L&I
and Ecolog; will have to be chosen
carefully, because each could create
tremendous traffic problems, as well as
urban sprawl and environmental problems,
if planning is not done carefully. The
L&I site, alone, will bring in 1800 plus
employees. Ecology will bring in 2000
plus employees. (Lacey estimates that
one-third of it's work force comes from
Ecology employees.)
Labor and Industries is currently
considering five sites: (1) a 48.93 acre
parcel located at the comer of Evergreen
Parkway and Highway 101 in rural
Thurston County; (2) a 45 acre site
behind Yauger Park off of Mud Bay
Road near Black Hills Hospital; (3) a
34.9 acre site at the comer of Israel Road
and Interstate 5 in Tumwater; (4) a 30
plus acre site in Tumwater bv the
MOllman Industrial area, and (5) a 17
acre site known as the Lacey Corporate
Center located at Yelm Highway and
College Street in Lacey.
Site one is at the very fringe of the
Urban Growth Management Area, deep in
rural Thurston County. No sewers are
planned for this site. It is in an area so
controversial that the Cooper Point
Association is considering incorporating
the area, to preserve it's rural character.
If this site is selected, there will be
strip development all the way down Mud
Road from Olympia's westside, past
Mclane Fire station almost to the waters
of
Mud
Bay.
Any
large-scale
development in that area will negatively
impact Eld Inlet, one of the county's
major oyster and shellfish growing areas.
Site two (behind Yauger Park) is
adjacent to wetlands connected to Grass
Lake on Olympia's westside. Any
construction here will negatively impact
these wetlands, and make a mockery of
the 2010 "Environmental summit"
recently hosted by the Governor's offi~.
Traffic in the area already IS
becoming congested in the Black ~e
interchange, with traffic jams and Walts
up to 5 - 8 minutes and longer for
commuters. The area is ill-suited for the
kind of traffic that L&U will bring onto
Mud Bay Road. However, one benefit of
site five (the Lacey Corpomte Center) is
that it is in an area which will already
house the Intelco Corporate headquarteil>,
and sewer has already been planned for
the site.
The five sites for the new Ecology
headquarters are: (1) a 45.2 acre site
adjacent to the current Department of
Ecology headquarters on Saint Martin's
campus; (2) a 27.6 acre site adjacent to
Lacey City Hall off College Street; (3) a
67.18 acre site west of Fones Road and
north of 15th Avenue N.E. in Olympia,
and two sites which are already under
consideration by L&I: (1) the 17 acre
Lacey Corporate Center site, and (2) the
48.93 acre site at the comer of Evergreen
Parkwa and Highway 101.
y .
.
There IS also an aItemauve that the
state is not considering.
If the L&I
headquarters building was located in the
downtown urban core area of Olympia or
Lacey, this would prevent the kind of
urban sprawl that happens when state
buildings are spread out allover the

county'.
For example, L~I curren~y. rents
office space at four different buildmgs at
80S, 9~5,925 and 1011. P~um Street in
OlympJa. These four bUlldmgs are only
four .stories tall.. L&I will need
apprOlumately 42,000 ~ss square feet
for it's new headquarters. If two floors
were added to just three of these
buildings, there would be enoogh space
of L&l's new headq~rs.
The higher buildihgs would still be
within Olympia zoning regulations, since
the area is zoned "DB" ("Do~town
Business"), allowing for a maxJffiurn
building height of 75 feet or six stories.
Alternatively, five or mo~ .floors cou~d
be added to .one of the .bUlldings, but t,h!s
would reqwre Olymp18 to change It s
zoning regulations. .
. .
L&I has been gIven 65 milhon by
the legislature for their new headquarter.
However, instead of buying land and
building in rural areas which .will create
urban spra~l, L&I should senously look
at . p.urcha~mg one or more of the
buildings It currently rents on Plum
Street.
For example, the assessed value of
the land and building at 1011 Plum Street
is $4,329,600. Adding five floots to that
building would probably cost less than 5
million. Since parking is at a premium in
downtown Olympia, a parking gamge
would have to be built - this would cost
$11 - 15 million.
If the state purchased the land and
building at 1011 Plum Street for $4.5
million, the total cost of adding additional
floors and a parking garage would be
between $20.5 and $24.5 million. In
addition to preventing urban sprawl, this
would save taxpayers nearly $40 million.
According to lames R. Ellis,
President and Chief Executive Officer of
Puget Sound Power and Light, state
government must do more to protect the
Northwest lifestyle, if we are to avoid
urban sprawl characteristic of Southern
California.
Among other things, Mr. Ellis urges
that state offices be consolidated in urban
areas (see Olympian, ll-9-89, p.l). In
addition, the entire decision-making
process for siting state office buildings
should be opened up, so that the people
here have a meaningful say in where the
buildings are located.
I urge you to call or write Governor
Gardner, the Director of L&I, and the
Director of Ecology, as well as Mr. 10hn
Swander (GA Building, RM. 207, Mail
Stop AX-22, Olympia 98504, ph: 7531(60), the staff perSon for this process _
urge them to ' hold public hearings on
this issue, so they will hear from others.
But act soon, because L&I will hold their
frrst meeting on December 16, and will
decide the site location in secret by
Januarv 2.
Governance
SU supports things

by Scott A, Richardson
In November the Student Union (SU)
passed a proposal denouncing any United
States military and economic aid to the
current government of El Salvador.
Yesterday a proposal to bring the
same question ·to an all-student vote
failed. Supporters of the proposal felt that
the 30 members of the SU who passed
the original denunciation could only
imperfectly represent the 3,OOO-member
student body.
The proposal was controversial
primarily due to questiOI)S regarding
funding of the referendum. The
governance budget is finite and there was
concern that the referendum might be

Around the turn of the century, a
very strange story appeared in the
Chehalis "Bee-Nugget" concerning a man
rJaffied H.F. Forrest and an amazing
discovery he had made while prospecting
Mount Rainier.
Forrest found a large flat rock which
had "been hewn by human hands" and
removed it to fmd a cave entrance.
Once inside, Forrest found a passage
that continued for at least five miles. The
walls of the cavern appeared polished and
contained some sort of hieroglyphics.
As he explored, Forrest saw side
passages which held ice caves and others
which held boiling water. He also
claimed that "human-size tubs" had been
carved into the rockm utilizing this water
source.
Eventually, Forrest came upon a large
underground lake; at the edge of which
was a large canoe chained to the wall
With "silver links". Using the canoe,
Forrest explored the lake for a "mile and
a halC' in each direction, never reaching
shore.
Continuing in the passage, he came
upon a "row of vaults", inside of which
were two immense skeletons.
~
One was of a woman "seven feet
tall", and the other of a 7' 10" man. The
"
U'I
figures were perfectly preserved and laid
out
on slabs of ice. Each skeleton wore
0gold jewelry engraved with hieroglyphics.

Also in the vault, Forrest found the

Christmas: preach and .pay
by Dan Snutlin
Celebrate Christmas: kill a tree!
I hate Christmas. When the christmas
crap starts appearing in all the stores in
November, I start to get sick.
Christmas is a Christian holiday, and that
makes me sick. Christmas is the time when
all of the pious take their surplus of religious
babble and hold a clearance sale.
I'm an atheist, and there is nothing that
I hate more than people preaching religious
babble.
Have you ever noticed that Christmas
day is very close to the Winter Solstice (Dec.
22)? That's because the church probably put
it there to draw the peasants away f.rom their
pagan holiday and pagan gods and over to "the
light of Christ." Tricky. It worked. (Incidentally, the Winter Solstice is now a satanic
holiday.)
But forget all that religious garbage.
That's not the REAL reason for Christmas.
Christmas is the ultimate capitalist holiday.
Most people today are not thinking
"Christmas is here! Wow! It's Christ's
birthday!" They are thinking "Christmas!
Wow! PRESENTS!"
Buy and buy, the day after Thanksgiving
has got to be the biggest capitalist celebration
of them all. The Christmas season is just a big
sale. How many things will Santa sell you this .
year?
Personally, I don't want to worry about
giving presents this year. I don't want to feel
guilty about leaving someone out. I really
don't need anything, and I'm not going to ask
fat anything either.
Christmas is Christianity and capitalism,
and it makes me want to throw up off a 10
story building. I'm. not going to celebrate
Christmas this year, and I'll be glad when it' s
over.

by Suzette Williams
I am resigning as Co-editor of the Cooper
Point Journal. Some reasons are personal, others
as old as the paper itself.
Looking back through the old issues of the
paper recently put my experience with the CPJ
in perspective. The structure of the newspaper
and the College's relation to the paper has
remained constant throughout its history.
I have been involved with the CPJ during the
last three academic years, first as a writer. eventually as editor. After three years, I finally .
decided there is nothing else I can do to help
the paper.
Everyone on this campus who
has ever said, "The CPJ is
crap," is responsible for its
condition.
=================
Why write a letter slamming a volunteer? Instead, why not write a better news story, or ask
the writer of the story you hate if you can help
him/her on the next piece, maybe cover some
aspect that he/she might not see.
Or, if you aren't confident of your writing
skills, pressure the academic deans. There never
has been academic support for the newspaper.
Why isn't there a journalism program at
TESC?
Evergreen was founded by people who did not
want to teach skills, they wanted to teach strictly
"liberal arts."
Yet every year, when Director of Research and
Planning Steve Hunter sends out alumni surveys,
many TESC alumni say they wish Evergreen had
taught them skills.
How many Evergreen graduates do you know
who work in jobs . they don't like, as secretaries,
at temporary agencies or in bookstores? I know
several. Evergreen is geared to producing sllldents
that can continue academic study, but not to fmd
jobs.
This College must not only prepare students
for further careers in academia, we must be
prepared to do something to earn a living and
survive in a non-academic world.
Journalism skills benefit more than just those
students who want to be journalists.
The ability to write to deadline, rewrite, conduct interviews, etc, are skills that ·many inter-
In the last two years, folldore has been added
to the program, and the emphasis on journalism
skills lessened.
It is understandable that Foote wants to move
in new directions after teaching communications
for five years. Foote said he tried for ten years
to convince the academic deans to hire a communications faculty, to no avail.
This fall, after years of attempts, a four-credit
journalism module was started at TESC. The
module is taught by an adjunct faculty, Stephen
Bray.
This journalism class, which was not well advertised, drew twenty students. Every week,
hear people say, "I just found out there is a
journalism program at Evergreen."

Slightly unbiased CrimeWatch helps
I found Pamela Patterson's letter in
last week's en a poorly written and
confused case of sour grapes. As a
member of last year's Slightly West
editorial board, I am writing La inform
Pamela (and lhe entire Evergreen
community) lhat Slightly West's editorial
process is completely un-biased and
extremely confidential.
While we reviewed submissions, we
had no idea whose work we were
considering. We looked to see who had
submitted a work only after it was
accepted for publication.
The artist's identity had nothing to do
with whelher or not the work was
acccpted. Therefore, as I do not know
which piece Pamela submitted, I cannot
tell her why it was not chosen. I can
however, assure her that her work (like
all submissions we received) was
carefully and respectfully considered
As for lhe number of accepted work
done by members of Slightly West - is it
a surprise that people willing La devote
free time La putting Lagether an art
magazine are likely to be good artists?
Finally, regarding Pamela's snide and
immature by "minorities, gays, and ladies
over forty," I suggest to Pamela that she
might examine her readiness to assume
that work by these groups is invalid.
I do not know why Pamela made
these assumptions, nor do I understand
what they have La do with her
dissatisfaction with the magazine.
I do know that I found her comments
offensive and misdirected.
Perhaps,
Pamela, if you were La spend more time
on your own work and less time bitching
about and insulting lhe work of others
you would come up with somelhing
worthy of publication.

'Confused by the facts'
In response La a letter from John
Wright in the Cooper Point Journal
characterizing me "one of lhe financial
masterminds behind exploiting women's
bodies for profit," I don't fit lhe

Planned Parenthood is a nonprofit
organization. We don't make money from
anything but our fund raising in lhe
community, and we use lhose dollars to
subsidize our clinical and education
programs,
as
well as our low
administrative costs.
The $160 we currently charge our
patients for first trimester abortions does
not even cover our direct costs, much
less help wilh indirect costs. Mr. Wright
is, I'm afraid, part of a group' of people
whose mind is made up, and who does
nOt want to be confused by the facts.
Yes, I do care about women, and
about families, and about providing them
with the choices which enable them to
manage their lives, according to their
own values. Mr. Wright is entitled only

"SPECIAL EDUCATION," LoRI AND BIll
GRANGER, 1986, DBLTA, $9.95
by Carol Simila-Dic~nson
Dumbo the elephant could fly, He
thought it was because of a magic
fealher, but it was really because of his
enormous ears. Yet the unusual
appearance of these miraculous ears led
La a lifetime of ridicule, ellclusion and
labeling. Dumbo was the victim of abuse.
How · is Special Education like a
magic fealher? According to Lori and
Bill Granger, both are fIauds.
The problem, lhey say, is in the
labels. Who wants La be called "retarded,"
"behaviorally handicapped," or "severely
iIJlpaired?" And once you've been called
by those names, how do you ever get
beyond lhem La achieve what you really
can and want La do?

Labeling is not lhe only problem

THE MAGIC FBATIIER: THE TRUTH ABOUT
KAP.lAN
The Accused song, "Brutality and
corruption," is a standard punk-thrash
attack. This tune is nice, lhis tune is
rockin', but I can't say that this tune
nwresents lhe Accused at lheir best.
The song lacks power, lhe drive found
on lheir albums. I bet it would be great
performed live though.
Morphius casts a shadow over the
Accused with lhe best tracks on the 7".
I've got La admit, I've never heard of
Morphius before. I guess it's about
time.
"S.P.D." is faster and more
forceful than "Brutality." The music
flows. The vocals are unusually clear.
Besides that, the solo screams like last
years lunch.
"Green lello" continues lhe assault
with more tight lhrash that sounds like
it was written for a slam pit. The
verses throb, and lhen the band breaks
loose into a faster solo lhat spins like
a clothes dryer on PCP.
The hand-colored cover and lhe
Morphius tunes make this E.P. worth
more than the $2.50 I paid for it This
will probably be worth more than
$2.50 after all the copies are sold, so
if you can handle some good thrash
music, you'd better buy it now.

Fingers of Dr. T, Thelonius Monk:
Straight No Chaser, and Cold Feet, back
to back.
, Ah yes ••• The 5,000 Fingers of Dr. T
hails from 1953. Dr. Seuss co·wrote the
script, wrote the song lyrics, and
designed the phantasmagoric sets in
superb Seuss style. If you remember
Bartholomew and the Oob/eck or If I Ran
The Zoo from your early years, you know
what I'm talking about. If not, hurry up
and read 'em before you detonate.
5,000 Fingers tl<lls the tale of another
Bartholomew (Tommy Rettig from the
Lassie 1V show). tired and frustrated
from practicing the Terwilliger Method of
piano mastery when he'd rather be
outside playing ball. Dozing off at the
keyboard, he falls inlO a dream world
where he's held captive by Dr.
Terwilliger (peter Lind Hayes), a musical
fascist who plans to have five hundred
liUle boys play his "Happy Fingers" song
on a gigantic piano-·hence the title.

Thelonius Monk: Straight No Chaser,
a documentary on the great jazz pianist,
draws on 14 hours of black·and·white
footage of the shot in the late 60's for
Gennan television. Director Charlotte
Zerwin resurrected this footage and added
contemporary interviews, with the people
who knew Monk: his son Thelonius Ir.,
his manager Harry Colomby, his longtime saxppbonist Charlie Rouse (who has
since died), and others.
As captured on the B&W footage,
Monk is an enigmatic comedian. The [rrst
shot shows him standing in front of his
piano and slowly dancing around in a
circle, while Rouse takes a solo. Then he
silS down and pecks like a rooster at the
keyboard, rubbing his nose and wiping
his forehead between angular phrases,
smashing out tone clusters with his
foreann. He wears funny hats and glasses
with no glass in them. He speaks in a
low buzzy mumble that's almost
impossible to unden;tand-·although as the
film goes along, I noticed that Monk
could speak perfectly clearly when he felt
like it.
OUlSide the theater after Straight No
Chaser, I ran inlO Bert Wilson, the
Olympia·based saxophonist, who mew
Monk. "He just did that dancing, all that
wild shit, because he knew a camera was
on him," said Bert; he remembers Monk
as an incredibly wann, shy human being
who didn't quite cultivate the weirdo
image he ended up with. "He just wanted
to go somewhere, smoke a joint and play
the piano. That's what he liked to do."
The film also shows this quieter side
of Monk. In one scene he walks down a
street, smiling as neighbors greet him.
And the memories of the Baroness Nica
de Konigswarter (who passed away
within a week of Charlie Rouse) are
illuminating. The Baroness was an intense
jazz fan, and Charlie "Bird" Parker. the
great alto saxist, died in her New York
apartment, but she had a particular
fondness for Monk.
Zerwil1 pans the camera around Nica's
house in Teaneck, New Je:rsey, where
Monk was a frequent guest, as the
soundtrack plays a song he wrote for the
Baroness on her own piano.
The film covers all bases, from
Monk on stage with his quartet to his
tour of Europe with his octet, to
backstage and recording studio footage·
·with Monk's music featured throughout
Bert called it "the best documentary
about a musician, ever," and that might
not even be too much of an exaggeration.
Clint Eastwood, who put together Bird,
the film biography of Charlie Parker,
acted as executive producer on this film,
so chalk up another brownie point for
Dirty Harry. Straight No Chaser opens
this week in Seattle at the Harvard Exit,
if you're headed that way for the
holidays. And watch for the soundtrack.
A few years back Alex Cox (Repo
Man. Sid and Nancy). made a modemday Western called Straight To Hell,

Cold Feet is another modern·day
Western with a lot of famous trendy
people, but with two differences. First of
all, it's acted by people who can act.
Second and more importantly, it has Tom
Waits in it.
Waits is best known as an
underground and yes, hip singer, but that
may change soon. Here he plays Kenny ,
a befuddled, frantic villain who can't
figure out why the world doesn't conform
to his simple expectations. With his thick
nose and tire-tread lips grimacing around
big teeth, Kenny looks less like flesh and
blood than an escapee from the
Claymation studios. He offers a border
patrolman a horse turd from a plastic bag

he replies "Not really ...a .357 with a
silencer on it sounds just lilce a mouse
fart. It's hard 10 get worked up· about
making a mouse fart at somebody's
head."
Like Cox's film, Cold Feet is far
from a perfect project. The plot,
involving stolen jewels implanted in a
racehorse, has all the fleetness of Mrs.
Butterworth's. But Wails gives you a
reason -to stick around through the slow,
meandering parts. Maybe< they meant to
put him in Straight To Hell, but Mr. Cox
et al were too busy getting stoned at the
rushes to shoot his part. Their loss.
Sunday night featured Rope of Blood ,
a mm produced by ex-Greener Gregg
Osborn and co· written by Chuck Sullivan,
a current Greener and manager of Capital
Mall Cinemas. I arrived at the showing
late and only saw half of the fIlm , but
I'll say this for it: the ftImalcers knew
they had no money. so they turned
themselves into surfers and rode that
aesthetic into shore. They put this thing
together for $10,000, and it's a feature
film, almost 80 minutes long. By
comparison, John Waters' Pink Flamingos
cost $12,000, Phil Tucker's legendary
stinker Robot Monster cost $16.000, and
Night of the Living Dead cost more than
$100.000. So yeah, it's primitive, alld the
street noise drowns out a lot of the
conversations, but you can see that they
enjoyed themselves profusely. I wish
them enough money 10 payoff this
project, and to pay for bigger toys when
they make the next one. ~

Hanukkah
Elisa R. Cohen
After the candles in the menorah are lit
and the children in the family open their
presents, a little four· sided spinning top
with letters on each face is spun while the
children sing:
"1 have a little dreidle, 1 made it out of
clay, and when it's dry and ready then
dreidle I shall play." This isoneofthe many
songs of the Jewish festival of Hanukkah.
There have been times, however, when
Jews were not allowed to sing and enjoy
their religious freedom. In the year 167
B.C.E. the Hasmonean King Antioches
decided that the Jewish people should no
longer be allowed to practice the rituals
which they had always observed.
Circumcision of the new· born, celebra·
tions of the Jewish holidays, and observance of the Sabbath were all declared
illegal activities. As a further measure of
religious and cultural annihilation, the king
ordered the defilement of the Jewish
Temple and Jews were forced to publicly
bow down and pray to hellenistic idols, an
action in direct opposition to the principles
of Judaism. One Jew named Mattathias
Maccabee would not succumb to
Antioches' decree and would not give up
Judaism. He and his five sons formed the
nucleus of a small, heavily out-numbered
rebel force.

They retreated to caves in the mountains
surrounding Jerusalem and began a series
of successful attacks against the Hasmonean army. The Maccabees knew the
land well. During the night, they launched
vicious attacks against the occupational
arm y. The battles raged for three years until
164 B.C.E. when the Maccabees fmaJly
succeeded in recapturing the city of
Jerusalem and their Holy Temple.
The Temple had been defiled by idols
and the sacrifice of unclean animals. 10
order to purify the Temple according to
law, a vile of oil sealed and blessed by the
high priests needed to be lit in the alter.
After searching through the ransacked
Temple only one small flask of sacred oil
could be found. There was only enough to
last for one day. They lit the oil and it
burned for eight days, long enough for more
oil to be found, ar.d for the etemallight to
remain lit.
To celebrate religious freedom won by
the Maccabees and to comm~orate the
miracle which allowed the oil to bum for
eight days, the Jews celebrate eight days of
Hanukkah. The letters which are inscribed

(provided, of course, that your long
distance carrier has exactly the same kind
.of computers and surly personnel as does
the long distance carrier of the person
you are calling, who must have nothing
better to do than talk to you from across
the world). so when an Important
Message comes in, my answering
machine should catch it and let it sit and
stew for a while, while I eat breakfast
and forget to check the machine for
messages.
This is what everybody does with
answering machines. I know. I've seen
it
I've . also watched people sit,
fascinated, in liUle semi-circles, around
the machine, watching it answer !he
phone and then excitedly calling !he
caller back to declare "Hey, my machine
answered your call."

one person, naturally, but that is not !he
