Sustainable Solutions addressed by speaker
by Suzette Williams
Earth Month's motto is Sustainable
Solutions to Our Ecological Crisis, and
one of this week's speakers addresses this
concept speciflC8lly in a global context.
Kirkpatrick Sale speaks April 18 about
Bioregionalism, a system aiming for a
more sustainable life.
Bioregionalism is primarily an
educational movement at this point, and
teaches that people are pan of the
ecological system. Bioregionalists also
believe in making decisions based on
bioregions rather than slates or countries.
These artificial boundaries are less
important than natural distinctions. For
instance, issues about logging, salmon,
etc, affect Oregon, Washington and
British Columbia but decisions are made
on a state-wide basis. This area is part of
the Cascadia bioregion.
Ecological sustainability refers not
only to recognizing our part in the
natural system, but living in a way that
will allow that system to continue
existing. In Washington this could mean
becoming less dependent on other states
and nations for items that could easily be
produced or grown here. By becoming
more self-sustaining the state could have
more control over its natural resources.
Sustainability means not cutting and
exporting all the State's timber without
thinking about its effect on the future.
But econornic sustainability is
necessarily connected to ecological
sustainability in this state. In the April 7
Post·[lIlelligencer, columnist Mike Layton
discusses a study prompted by Puget
Sound SANE (a peace group) about the
effects on Washington's economy by cuts
in military spending. The gist of the
article was that no one was looking
ahead to this point. Cuts are already
being made in military spending (Layton
says "military spending as a share of the
gross state product has declined from 13

Empowerment:
percent in 1963 to 6 percent in 1986")
but no plans are being made to deal with
them.
The fear of planning for the future
can ruin the environment and the
economy. How can the Tri-Cities become
ecologically
and
economically
sustainable? The closing of the Hanford
N Reactor is a step toward the former,
but who's planning for the latter? It
seems the chambers of commerce, the
legislature and
the colleges and
universities should take a
more
bioregional perspective.
Logging old growth W)til it's gone
may save a few jobs today, but what
happens ten years from now? A more
perspective
could
be
bioregional
recognizing that such a practice is neither
ecologically nor economically sustainable.
Why not promote jobs in a way that
preserves and sustains the environment?
Of course this loss of jobs will be
painful, but won't it be more so when
the environment as well as the economy
is destroyed? Business planners need to
aim more towards sustainability than
short-term maximization.
See Kirlcpatrick Sale next Tuesday
and the articles in this issue for more on
Bioregionalism.

For the past two years there has
been talk about making the Cooper Point
Journal into a collective, partially spurred
by the existence of the Free Press last
year. So I thought it would be fitting to
reprint this article that our advertising
manager found in the May 24, 1979 CPJ.
Not to say I think collectives are bad, but
it's interesting that after twenty years
we're still dealing with the same issues.
Collectivism arrived at the CP J this
year with a bang, and is leaving with a
whimper. THe original seven members
were inexperienced but eager to prove the

advantages of working cooperatillely.
Since then the collective Iws grown,
changed, and learned, also, we have
argued, bitched, and burned out. Before
slipping into total obscurity, we felt the
need to share some of what we've learned
Of ourselves, and the paper:
.Col/ectives are
overbearing,
opinionated, and clumsy to work in.
·Collectives serve only the special
interests of the members - never the
public interest.
.Collectives space out messages,
screw up advertisements and blow up
decisions.
·The writers of articles that didn't
get printed always know belter.
•The creative writers know that the
paper needs more poetry.
.The political writers know the paper
needs more editorials.
.The environmentalist writers know
the paper needs more ecology-oriented
articles (though the damn eco{reaks never
mention how many trees are cut down to
publish this rag.)
.The Third World needs their space to
talk about how they never have a chance
to talk.
•Satirists are usually in/alllile about
heir work, as well as being full of bull.
•None of the above ever come· to CPJ
open meetings.
.A picture may be worth a thousand
words, but the ONE word you editedfrom
that article is worth an hour of verbal
abuse from its author.
.You can satisfy afew of the people a
lillie bit of the time, but that''s all.
.The editors are fascists (though ~
thought we were ana(chist~r feminists) ;
however it doesn't mtlfler bftause we are
of no consequence anyway. J
. We are also unethical. UIlreliable,
irresponsible, impossible, narrow minded
and extremely bigoted.

Governance needs viable means

the press!

--~-I'd like to thank a few people this

While at Evergreen, I have frequently
heard the word "empowerment" and
wondered what it ·meant. This question
strikes me as particularly imJlClrtant given
the recent developments in student
governance. Upon hearing this word I
assumed it had to do with gaining power.
I then began to wonder what sort of
power was to be gained and for what
purposes.
These
aspeclS
of
the
empowerment concept often seemed
vague and appeared to be more for
rhetorical purposes and less
for
descriptive use. This shon article will
address a few of the many complexities
of the empowerment concept.
It seems to me that the word
"empowerment"often
refers
to
an
emotional condition or state of mind.
Hence, I hear the expression, "feeling
empowered."
Empowerment can also refer to
having the intellectual capacities for
recognizing exploitation, oppression,
domination, et al and fonnulating an
alternative vision to counter this state of
affairs .
In other instances, empowerment
seems to refer to the capacity for action .
Empowerment could then refer to access
to and some degree of control over
objective institutions. For example, if I
vote, then I would be likely to be
considered as having power (although
limited) within the political arena.
After I struggled with understanding
what is meant by the concept, I then
wondered what you do with it once you
get it. Often empowerment seems an end
in itself rather than as a means to

success. Tim Russell has worked
tirelessly at organizing Earth Month
contributions. 1bere have been many
problems (like lost stories, late stories)
but Tiin has stuck by his commitment.
Honna Metzger started working at the
CPJ this quarter and single-handedly took
over the Calendar and Arts &

Kevin Boyer for his constant willingness
to help. Thanks to Tedd Kelleher for
always accepting another story. Thanks to
Philip Bransford for his commitment to
"doing the right thing." And as always,
thanks to Matt Carrithers for doing
anything he can to help.
As you may have noticed we have
more contributors (and therefore more
news stories) this quarter. But we can
always use more writers, artists, layout
people, etc. Staff meetings are Mondays
at 6 pm for anyone interested in

Only elite meet .in board room
Once upon a time, I went out to
make a
for class. I needed a large
office-type room, a really grandiose one
and as luck would have it, there is just
such a room right here on campus; the
Board Room. So I went about trying to
schedule the room. I called scheduling
which needed a note from my teacher. So
I got a note and went up to scheduling.
At which point they needed to talk to my
.teacher. But I couldn' t fmd my teacher;
one day lost. Next day, I found my
teacher and had them call scheduling,
only to be told that even though it was
for academics and the room was not
being used, I could not use it: the room
is by policy not for academics.
I thought, "What the hell? A college
that has rooms that are open but not for
academic use?" So I went off to the
President's office to see what the deal
was. There I found out that the reason
that I couldn't use the Board Room was

achieve a larger goal. This might be
acceptable if it could be shown that being
empowered makes people happier.
However, I fmd this difficult to believe if
empowerment means only- to "recognize
exploitation." This recognition, it would
seem, more likely produces frustration
and discontent. I follows then that
empowerment as a psychological and
intellectual state must be linked to the
capacity for action. Empowerment should
include not only the means to interpret
the world but also the means to change
it. In other words, empowerment must
mean both theory and practice .
What does all this abstract discussion
have to do with student governance? I
am proposing that student governance
must not only provide a forum for
discussion, debate and articulating a
vision for Evergreen' s future, but also
possess the means for carrying out this
vision. This raises the question, "Can the
present governance
proposal
fully
empower the students?"
I have heard from some that the
GEO-Voice does empower students and
from others that it doesn't. This
difference of opinion stems partially from
the varying conception of empowerment
outlined above. The critics of the GEOVoice state that the proposal does not
include the capacity for action necessary
to make a difference in campus policies.
The proponents argue the contrary.
The correct interpretation .will be
largely determined by the development of
student governance over the coming
months. At present, the GEO-Voice is
somewhat vague. Whether this ambiguity

that it would set a precedent and then
anybody with academic intent would be
able to use it when it wasn't being uSClt.
That's what I call, "A commitment : ! .'
education." I was also told that it had at
one time been open to students, but they
made a mess. "So no more." So I guess
the message is that this is the place of
privilege and that the elite can make a
mess but we lowly academia can' t. But
we can use CAB 110: separate, but
equal. So the good places go to the elite
and we sit on the back of the bus. The
fmal slap in the face came with the final
defense of said policy, which was, "Thilt
it's the way they do it at the University
of Washington." Ack ... Who's in charge
of 1rying to make this school in'Io a

PEOPLE, we at Evergreen are very often
gUilty of tolerating, embracing, and
reflecting rather blunted world-views. But
first, a note to journalistic integrity. The
article "Logger-beings vs. Greeners"
(Rhys Roth, CPJ Mar. 9) does not belong
in a news section. It is not news, it
provides no information, and if not
discarded completely should be found on
an opinion/editorial page.
Secondly, to blunted world-views and
insensitivities. Although we may not
support the logging profession, loggers
are people and deserve to be treated
accordingly. 1bey are humans, and not
only do they have feelings, but also
·families, mortgages, car paymenlS, doctor
bills, and most of the same problems to
contend with as other humans, perhaps
even ourselves. They have also seen mill

closures and the loss of other timber
related jobs which not only their
livelihoods, but the livelihoods of the
parents and grandparenlS were built upon.
They're sensitive of their environment,
but with rising unemployment they've
seen rises in erime, alcoholism, and child
abuse (for example, Lewis County, to our
immediate south, has one of the highest
child abuse rates in the country). So,
rather than offering them empty criticism,
abuse, and unseemly monikers such as
"logger-beings." let's offer them help, .
education, and opportunity (and maybe
even an apology from the editor and
author of the story). Maybe then those
"backwards, wrong-headed, logger-beings"
will tum around and become as openminded, sensitive, and right thinking as
we Greeners know we are.

shall advance or weaken student
empowennent depends largely upon how
student governance gets fleshed out.
Vagueness can provide for a wide range
of action or-it can lead to-confusion and
ineffectiveness. Incidentally, I am not
d~ling with the question of whether the
communitarian vision implied within the
GEO-Voice is fundamentally flawed or
not.
Empowerment as a subjective matter
has limited value unless connected to
some objective institutional means to
influence or establish policy. Without a
means of action, student governance
'cannot hope to alter the internal
momentum already present within the
administration. Some contend that
students ought to control student money
(used to fund Services and Activities).
This option begins to address the need
for a viable means of action to influence
policy.
The future of student governance
remains uncertain. This article has been
written to clarify some important issues
surrounding student governance and as a
mild warning against stopping short of
achieving full empowerment.

Please don't
use swastikas
I visited Evergreen over Spring
Break, and was very disturbed to see a
poSler which, while allegedly trying to
make the link between the CIA and
fascism (a message I concur with), used
the Nazi swastika, which was drawn
inside a "Ghostbusters"-style 'no' symbol.
Although the Nazis were fascists, using
the swastika to convey fascism itself is
historically inaccurate and as a Jew, I do
not like to see the swastika used in any
form (even to convey an anti-Nazi
sentiment), because it represents the
desecration of my people, my family, and
much Jewish culture.
I hope that Evergreen students
responsible for this sign become more
thoughtful about the power of symbols
and begin to figure out ways to
communicate these lcinds of political
messages without continually using the
swastika, which has a particular meaning
for Jews.

Your social
responsibility
starts at home
Let us speak: now of social
responsibility.
In a dualistic universe peopled with
good and bad guys, social responsibility
seems to be easily resolved through
understanding the two-sided nature of
ethical issues. Reagan (oops; Bush) is a
ral. Ollie North is an obvious traitor to
the Constitution. Oil companies daily
despoil the environment, and the
McDonald's Corporation continues to
package their Big Macs in this week's
Important Enemy of the Environment,
styrofoam. Whether or not our Prez is an
enemy of the People, whether Ollie is a
Hero or villain, whether the oil
companies are acting on a planetary scale
of environmental irresponsibility or
McDonald's usage of styrofoam will
doom us to a plague of skin cancer are
all ethical issues supposedly understood
by the Evergreen Student at a level of
personal and societal survival.
Here at the Fountain of Learning and
Critical Thinking, we hash these issues
out endlessly, but the real issue seems
largely out of touch to most of the
students at lESC.
"Bogus--what the hell is he talking
about? ," I hear someone saying. What I
am addressing is the simple, individual
issue of personal responsil>ility.
nOh, God. Here comes my parent aranting again," I hear another person
saying. Perhaps. Perhaps nol. It deperids
a good deal on how much parenting an
individual needs. Do you need your
parent to wake you up for class? Should
your mommy be looking over your
shoulder to remind you to clean out the
lint ruler in the dryers you've used in the
laundry rooms? Does your daddy have 10
follow you around with a garbage bag to
collect the beer cans you've so recently
emptied and mindlessly littered about on
the campus grounds?
"So what point are you trying to
make?" another person says tiredly. For
the second time in two years, my car has
received substantial damage while parked
in F-Lot. Last Friday night (March 31),
some unnamed person drove into the
right-rear door, causing (according to the
police person investigating the incident)
about four to six-hundred bucks' worth of
business for the local body shop. It may
or may not be a coincidence, but there
were a reported two keggers in progress
that evening.
Would I like to know who the
offensively irresponsible individual (of
course, no note was left on my
windshield) was who did the dirty deed?
You bet your ass. With a two-hundred
fifty dollar deductible insurance policy, of
course I would. I ain't made of money.
Will I ever discover the identity of this
miscreant? What do you think?
In the relativistic, best of all possible
worlds, individuals would be able to
critically assess the actions of both
themselves and others, using crileria that
meet the highest levels of moral
development; at the level of human
ethical universality. (I do hope that Mr.
or Ms. Miscreant out there can
understand collegiate-level language.. . of
which I must confess my doubts); I'm
afraid this car episode (and the other car
episode and the graffiti episodes and CPJ
staffers being physically threatened
because of the CIA ad and several dozen
other examples of hypocritical behavior
that easily come to mind) exposes the
Evergreen myth for what it has become:
hollow !IIld valueless as the infantile little
shit who mindlessly drove away from his
or her social responsibility. Friday night

Dr. Thomas L. "Les" Purce, a former
mayor, and ail expert on higher
education,
business,
economic
development, student counseling, political
science, horseback-riding, and social
science was hired 10 make money for
Evergreen.
The way Puree sees it, the state pays
for the school, so the school should give
something in return. He asks, "How can
Evergreen benefit the state?" Some
students and faculty might respond 10 that

Puree doesn't want that. He wants to

The rally coincided with one held in
Washington DC protesting the possible
reversal of Roe vs Wade, the Supreme
Court decision that gave woman the
constitutional right to an abortion. The
speakers at the rally called for the "silent
majority" of people who believe in
abortion rights and women's rights in
general to speak out and become active
in the fight for their beliefs.
"I can only imagine what it was like
16 years ago when abortion was illegal,

the days of illegal abortions don't return,
I intend to follow in the footsteps of the
women before me who fought to obtain
our rights to safe legal abortions and

for granted. Its time for us to take the
responsibility that goes . with being a
woman in this country and fight for our
rights. We have to fight for the ERA.
We must be granted full citizen status

that in the future it will be much harder

WashPIRG releases an
organic food guide
The Evergreen branch of the
Washington Public
Interest Group
(WashPIRG) has released "A Guide To.
Organic Food in Olympia."
The Guide is a helpful aid for
increasingly
pesti cide-censcious
consumers. In addition to. indicating
which of 1.0 Olympia grocery steres carry
erganic produce, the guide indicates
which stores recycle their waste, carry
local
dairy
products,
non-dairy
alternatives, and organic and local meat.
Consumer education about pesticides
is ene of TESC WashPIRG's two major
projects. According to TESC WashPIRG
director Knoll Lowney, "Pesticide
residues in food are a big health risk.
Very little is·known about their long-term
effects, and the EPA ranks them as the
third largest cancer-causing environmental
problem in the country, even mere
dangerous than air pollution and toxic
waste."
Organic produce, he say~, is a viable
and also "very tasty" alternative to
chemically-grown food.
The 10 stores listed in the
WashPIRG Guide are: Bayview Market,
Olympia Food Co-op, MegaFoods,
Safeway, Shopper's Choice, Petersen's
ShopRite, Thriftway, Top Foods, Union
Mills and United Grocers.
The most extensive organic produce
selections were those at Top Foods and

the Olympia Food Ce-op. ShepRite,
Bayview. Thriftway and MegaFoods also
carry organics.
WashPIRG is a statewide, studentdirected, citizen's lobby. With 30,000
citizen members throughout the state,
WashPIRG utilizes student activism and
concerns to promete a better quality of
life in Washington.

Elsewhere in the CAB (and around
campus) are areas in which smOking is
still allowed. Should the DTF determine
that some areas must remain set aside fer
smoEng, steps would be necessary toimproye ventilation. Adequate venting for
the smeking leunge in ·CAB 104, fer
example, would cost $6000. Additional
maintenance funds might also be
necessary for more frequent painting ef
smoking areas.
At this time, however, it appears
unlikely that any smeking areas will
remain on campus. DTF chairperson Jim
Jehnson indicates that input received thus
far shows "the community has been very
supportive of a smoke-free campus." With
such a response, the DTF has dedioated
itself to education, wellness related
worksheps, and counselling to help
people stop smoking.

Career Development:

Styrofoam task force nears disappearing
by Ted<! Kelleher
Evergreen is close to ridding itself of
ozone desttoying Chlorofluorocarbons
(CFCs) and other Ozone Damaging
Materials (ODMs) found on campus in
things ranging fro ll1 styrofoam insulation
to drinking fountains. The Disappearing
Task Force (OTF) assigned to develop a
CFC and ODM policy will submit its
proposal for a preliminary hearing at the
April 12 Board Of Trustees meeting and
for fmal approval at the May 10 meeting.
The DTF was formed after the
controversy surroUIiding the use of
polystyrene (styrofoam) in Phase II of the
Recreation Center. Despite a general
consensus against the use of polystyrene,
Evergreen found itself without any
official policy banning its use.
The CFC-DTF that developed a

policy is made up of Denis Snyder,
Kathy Kelly, Jill Lowe, Melissa Ryan,
Hillary Riaggio, Richard Cellarius, Ron
Walter, Dorothy Saunders, Bill Bagby,
and Trisha Lowder.
The DTF calls for a "periodic review
OOaro" to annually c-onduct an inventory
of all the chemical sut>!:tances on campus.
In the places where CFCs and ODMs are
found the board will make up a list of
alternatives to the offending materials. In
addition, a timetable for the elimination
of the CFCs or ODMs will be developed.
The four member periodic review
board appointed by the Vice President of
Finance and Administration will be made
up of a scientific expert,
an
environmental expert, an institutional
member knowledgeable about the
business practices of the College, and a

representative
student
from
an
environmental organization such as
WashPIRG
or
the Environmental
Resource Center.
A clause will be placed on all
purchase orders directing suppliers not to
use polystyrene_foam to_flll the ordersjn
addition, the college will request in all of
its building contracts that no CFC or
ODM containing materials be used, and
that contractors provide verification that
they are meeting these requirements.
Recycling bins for polystyrene
recei ved as packing material will be
centrally located in every building. The
polystyrene collected will be sent to the
Olympia Pottery and Art Supply (OPAS)
where it will be re-used as packing
material.
"We do·;}'t expect any problem

WashPIRG anti-styrofoam campaign
guide has information and flaws
by Ted<! Kelleher
WashPIRG is cwrently conducting a
campaign to eliminate the use of
polystyrene (styrofoam) from Olympia
area restaurants. The way the campaign is
being conducted has some area restaurant
owners upset
As a step toward a foam-free
Olympia, WashPlRG compiled a guide
of local restaurants indicating whether or
not they used polystyrene. In addition the
guide included infonnation about the
restaurants' "environmental practices."
According to the guide, the
information in the guide was collected
with surveys "conducted in person with a
member of the restaurant's management."
In conjunction with the guide, WashPIRG
is hoping to collect over 1,000 signatures
from people who have pledged to support
foam -free resta urants.
These signatures, which represent real

"dollar power," will be presented to the
management of every restaurant listed on
the guide, says WashPIRG Director Knoll
Lowney. Restaurants that are presently
foam-free will be asked to sign a running
endorsement of·the campaign, those who
are still using polystyrene will be asked
to use ecologically sound alternatives.
"We want to gather community
suppon from both individuals and
restaurants before we attempt to get a
city law passed next Fall," says Lowney.
Two years ago the city of Olympia took
a small step in the direction of a
polystyrene ban when they banned the
use of polystyrene in all of their
facilities.
"WashPIRG has lost some of its
credibility in my eyes because they
simply don't have their facts straight,"
says Smithfield owner S1 Boyle. Boyle
does not feel as though the WashPIRG

Alumni Association plans
new Art Card fundraiser
by Andy Stewart, Alumni Association
The Evergreen Alumni Association is
producing a fundraiser called the Art
Card Project This project will reproduce
Evergreen artists' work on high quality
stationery cards. Cards will be sold in
boxes of fifteen, including five different
images reproduced three times each.
Profits from sales will be split between
Evergreen arts programs, the Alumni
Association, and a reserve from which to
do further, similar projects. Money made
for the arts programs will, this time, buy
furnishings for the new arts annex.
Cards will be ready for next Fall
quarter. They will be good gifts for
friends and family plus provide incentive
to make donations to Evergreen and its
Alumni Association. These art cards will
promote and support this college's artists.
Currently we are collecting work
from which to select images. Students,
Alumni, Staff and Faculty who would
like to submit work for poSsible
reproduction can leave it, or its slide or

photo, at the Development Office, care of
Forrest Wilcox, located on the second
floor of the library.
Work will be kept there where it is
safe. All pieces will be returned.
Submissions will be collected through the
flIst week of May.
We want to encourage diversity.
Please help vut and send your cool work
our way!
If you have questions contact Jimi
Mateson at 352-UJAM or tallc to Meg

Namibia is a hauntingly beautiful
nation in southwest Africa. next to South
Africa It is about the size of Texas and
OJclahoma with a population of 1.4
million. Although the United Nations
declared the South African occupation of
Namibia illegal, Namibia is still a colony
of the racist regime in South Africa
The Nambian struggle for liberation
and independence has gone on for over
one hundred years. Namibian occupation
began in 1884 by the Germans. In 1906
the Namibian "holocaust" began. The
people of Namibia had challenged
Gennan colonialism. In response the
Gennan government issued an order of
extermination which resulted in the
genocide of two thirds of Ihe Nama and
Herero people. After World War I,
Namibia was given to South Africa as a
"sacred· trust of civilization." South Africa
has ruled the Namibian people with terror
ever since.
The Namibian lifestyle is similar to
the South African. Native Namibians live

U.N. resolution #435 is an ouUine for
the transition to independence. It wasn't
until March 31, 1989 that the resolution
began to be implemented. The plan calls
for the removal of South African troops,
a cease flIe between South Africa and
SWAPO' a return of refugees and exiles
(lout of every 20 Namibians lives in
exile), and elections for an assembly to
draft an independence constitution. U.N.
peacekeeping forces will be used during
the transition.
The plan · allows South African
officials to govern during the transition
and to administer elections. This

concession to Ihe Soulh African
government is a potential danger to the
independence process.
The U.N. plan has also been
sabotaged by the U.S. At U.S. request,
peacekeeping forces have been cut from
7000 to 4650. U.N. resolution #435
allows elections, but does not insure
independence.
South Africa has a history of not
living up to its agreements. The
"mainstream" media has noted that
SWAPO continued fighting, although a
cease fire is in effect. However the media
has failed to report that Koevoet, the
feared South African death squads, are
still operating in Namibia.

PROCESSING a: PRINTING

by Knoll Lowney, WlIShPIRG
There were two mistakes printed in
WashPIRG's new "Guide to foam-free
eating in Olympia." One of these was a
mistype and the other was an incorrect
answer given on the questionnaire.
WashPIRG will continue to update
our guide as more restaurants join the
campaign for a foam-free Olympia. In the
following weeks WashPIRG will be
meeting with restaurant managers to
discuss the possibilities of their
restaurant's transition to alternative
products and
gathering
campaign
endorsements.
The mistakes printed in the guide are
as follows: the Smithfield Cafe does not
carry irradiated foods and the Dancing
Goats does provide an alternative · to
styrofoam. We apologize for these errors
and ask to be alerted if any others are
found. We are working to provide
consumers correct infonnation about the
environmental practices of Olympia-area
restaurants. If you have questions or want

Owner Larry Challain is not
convinced that the CFC-free polystyrene
cups he uses are any more damaging to
the environment than the paper cups he
also offers. "From what research I have
done I can not justify switching
completely to paper, which contributes to
thtt '~:1 greenhouse
effect through the
destruction of trees," says Challain. "I
think the best solution is to not use
styrofoam or paper. We already
encourage this by offing a ten cent
discount to our customers who bring their
own cup."

that were made," says Lowney, "We will

Denis Snyder, "Everyone in the
community wants this."
Some community members expressed
a concern that under this proposal
non-biodegradable CFC-free polystyrene

In response to this concern the proposal
calls for the creation of a DTF to review
solid waste issues.

Walk for
racial equality
tomorrow
Racism has inhibited the cooperation
and
development
of
individuals
throughout history. The Demonstration of
Unity on January 12th was a great show
of solidarity by the diverse Evergreen
community. Although this show of
solidarity was inspiring, the issue of
racism has not disappeared at Evergreen
or in the Northwest. There is an
opponunity for students to again show
their support for racial equality and
human dignity.
April 22nd is the l00th birthday of
Adolph Hitler. Various white supremacist
groups plan to hold a national conference
at Hayden Lake, Idaho. A peaceful
assembly has been organized to
counteract this conference of terror.
Please join us on April 22nd for a
seven mile Walk For Racial Equality.
Evergreen
students
are
planning
transportation to Idaho. If you are
interested or want more information
. attend a potluck on April 14th at 6 pm in
Cab 108 or call EPIC at x6144 and leave
a message for Kimberly.

Fly II revels in the mucousy glory of goo

The son or the Fly (Eric Stoltz) Invites his reluctant only friend (Daphne
Zuniga) into the pleasantly steaming chamber.
by Edward Martin
One of the problems with movies at
the State Theatre is that you have,
basically, no idea what is showing at any
given time. What this boils down to, of
coun;e. is a delightful game of "movie
roulette," which I have religiously played
since dC,,;overing this theatre. Early in

life, I have decided that there is no
movie that isn't worth seeing for a buck
and I have yet to be proven wrong. For
those of you who aren't into the highspeed 91Yf!1'pia night scene, the State is
noW showfng movies for a buck and a

Scott Cossu feels the "world beat"
by Kevin Boyer
Scott Cossu, a northwest artist, has
recently released an album, titled
Switchback, with the Windham Hill label.
Scott is a composer and plays electric
and acoustic pianos as well as different
flutes. Cossu has lived in Olympia the
past two years after living in Seattle,
where he completed his graduate work at
the University of Washington.
Olympia will get to hear his music
on April 27 at the Washington Center for
the Performing Arts. He is currently on
an international tour. The tour started six
weeks ago in San Francisco, when the
record was released, and includes stops in
New York, Houston, South America, and
Europe. The Olympia performance is the
fIrst Washington date and a home record
release concert
Cossu used to play in Olympia at the
Gnu Delhi and Evergreen Recital Hall as
part of the Seattle circuit before signing
on with the Windham Hill label in 1981.
Switchback, his sixth album with
Windham Hill, is currently number two

on the contemporary jazz chart and
rising.
He attributes the rise of the ·
record label itself to the influence of the
60's and their revival, also to people
looking for something different from the
MTV genre.
The music on the album varies from
track to track and cannot be put into a
single category. Scou's influences range
widely from folk, jazz, and rock, to
Caribbean beats.
But he says, "the
street" influenced him most. He likes the
idea of the "world beat" and was
influenced greatly while playing in Chile
as part of the international tour
mentioned above.
His new album is available at Rainey
Day Records and Tapes.
Tickets for the April 27th, 8 P.M.
concert are reserved seating and available
now through the Washington Center box
office, Rainey Day Records, Yenney
Music, The Bookmark in Lacey, or the
Great Music Company. Advanced tickets
are $12 gentral and $10 for students and
senior citizens.

feature. That's seventy-five cents a
movie, I might point out, which makes
some movies worth seeing even twice.
-~Twentiftll-efnrory-Fox's "The- Fly
n" was a definite empty chamber in
this game or roulette.
Eric Stoltz plays Martin Brundle, the
hyperkinetic, but affable, son of Seth
Brundle (Jeff Goldblum). He falls in
like/love/whatever with Daphne Zuniga,
playing Beth. Lee Richardson is Anton
Bartok, a man so wicked you have to
cackle in glee at his eventual fate. And
there are a few other baddies that have
equally juicy fortunes: Ann Marie Lee
and Frank C. Turner for instance.
The thing I liked best about this film
is that it breaks the usual rule of "sequels
are sub-standard forms of life". This was
infinitely better in so many ways to the
first film and if I had a few more pages,
I would detail why this is so difficult.
Whoever directed this (my press release
packet has been evenly scattered over a
majority of the American Southeast and
I think all the important bits are in
Rupen, West Virginia) must have decided
not to try and do what Cronenberg failed
at in the fust film. "The Fly" was an
attempted love story (no, REALL YI) and

Thursday

as such, it didn't have much of a chance.
Let's face it, if you are going to go and
watch a movie where a man slowly
changes- into -a~f1y - and-eats food by
gooing allover it and drinking the goo,
you aren't really going to be trying very
hard to picture it as a tender moment of
tragedy.
You want the mucous. "The Fly II"
gave up what pretensions it might have
had to enjoy itself and revel in the glory
of mucous and fun, and it did it very
well.
I hate being accused of duplicating a
style, but I have to tell you some of the
good points here. . "The Fly fi" contains
several physically impossible postures,
lots of things crawling and stuck to the
ceilings, lots of good shots of bugs,
animals making strange noises as they
teleport, ominous scenes, one official sad
scene, and lots of great, exciting,
mucousy and flashy special effects.
I highly recommend this fllm, and if
it isn't at a theatre, try to catch it on
video wben it comes out (The Swami
predicts a vid~ release of September
'89).

A million unfaced beings
grey on grey like Judy's Kansas
