A dr aw ing was slipped und er the
door of a black s tud en t and a Jewish
student last Tuesday. It depicted a black
man seated in front of a person hangin g

"Social
Movements,
Prop~rty
Destruction, and the Question of Violence,"
a three- (possibly four-) part series put on
by the Evergreen Political Information
Center, will begin next week with a talk
featuring Ron Jacob at 12 p .m. next Thursday
in the Library Lobby.
Jacobs is a TESC alumni and author of
The Way the Wind Blew, a book on the Weather
Underground. Weather was a revolutionary
movement that broke from the Students for
a Democratic Society (SDS), the largest and
most influential student activist group of the
60's. Weather is believed to have been
responsible for dozens, perhaps hundreds,
of arson and bombings during the 60's and
70's. Jacobs will discuss what led this group
to armed revolt against the US government,
the group's impact and disintegration, and
will start a discussion of the implications of
such tactics for present day social
movements . The following week, Helen
Garvy, director of a new film on 5DS ca lled
"Rebels with a Cause," will be speaking
about her new film , as will Craig
Roseb raugh, the spokesperson for the Earth
Liberation Front (ELF).

Blotter Flashback: "Preaching" at TESC
Let's jump in the time machine and go back to April 6, 2000. The skies
were probably blue, I had many interesting police reports, and the country
had no real idea that the sword of Damocles, otherwise known as "President
Bush," has not slit our throats. Ah, yes, those were carefree, innocent days.
And yet all was not happy. For you see, even then, there was hate. Verily,
even as there are people playing in the grass with Frisbees or hanging out
with loved ones, there will be others who call them immoral and wrong.
On April 6, 2000 ,at 1 p.m., Preacher Bob visited the Evergreen campus,
with his sign of intolerance. Prominent on it was the phrase "You make me
sick," followed by the groups that made him ill, such as "liars," "Mormons,"
"child molesting homosexuals."
"It is Preacher Bob's practice to make rounds of college campuses in the
Pacific Northwest and 'p reach' his 'fire and brimstone' interpretations of the
gospel. (I have personally observed this individual-or persons preaching
similarly-at Washington State University where he/they generated numerous
complaints from student staff and faculty). Tempers flare among persons
listening to Preacher Bob and the situation was no different on Red Square the
day of this complaint."
One such witness to his hate speech passed by his location and saw a
small crowd gathered around him. She left to do some errands, "inwardly
outraged ." When she returned, she heard him preaching about the "immorality
of being gay."
.
She asked him "what right he had to put 'child molesting homosexuals'
on his sign. Bob mentioned 'Free Speech.'" She stated that she was queer and
that 'I do not molest children and that I found it (the sign) offensive.'" Things
became heated, and Preacher Bob told her that she "needed to get [her]
emotions and sexuality under control." At some point, Bible Jim appeared
and began blowing a whistle.
Apparently, one of them (the report is unclear) yelled, "Are you a man or
a woman?"
She replied, "What does my gender have to do with anything?"
He shouted, "I am married, and you can't have your way with me."
After this disturbing exchange, the witness, feeling "physically ill, verbally
violated and extremely disturbed," went to the cops and tried to file a complaint
for "verbal abuse and gay bashing." But it did not go through, since Evergreen
is a public college, and thus Bob and Jim are entitled to First Amendment
protection.
However, things are not as settled as they sound . For the next day, the
witness fil ed a different complaint and everyone's favorite "preachers" were
charged with Disorderly Conduct a nd Slander of Women.
How does one get charged with the latter complaint? According to the
law, if you're above the age of 12, "not a common prostitute," and your
reputation is injured by words said in the presence of other people, the speaker
can be charged with slander, unless the language is found to be "true and fair,
and was spoken with good motives and for justifiable ends."
Evidently, this has not slowed him down, as he still travels across the
Northwest, having recently visited Evergreen to once again condemn the "sick"
ones. And students here will, no doubt, keep challenging him as long as he
comes. The more things change ... and you know the rest.

------~&~w~~-----Sanctions on Iraq Reflect U.S. Human Rights Policy
Analysis by Keara Mullen
In light of the recent
ejection of the United States
from the U.N. Human Rights
Commission, let us look at the
continuing sanctions on Iraq.
As we enter the eleventh year
of U.s.-led U.N. sanctions on
Iraq, it may be a good idea to
review the facts and numbers
involved in the most
comprehensive blockade.
imposed in history.
According
to
the
International Action Center
and United Nations Research,
1.5 million Iraqi civilians have
died since 1991 as a result of
the sanctions. The following
i terns were banned by the
U.N. Sanctions Review
Committee (and Oil For Food
Program), which is led by the
U .S. They were >lableled
potential military or civilian
"dual use" items: ·
-pipe for sewer repair
-chlorine for purification
-all building materials
-ambulances (there are two
left in Baghdad)
-machines and all
electrical equipment
-computers and all
telecomm unica tions
-X-ray machines (just 0 n e
CAT scan left in Iraq)
-all surgical instruments,
medical
supplies
and
medicines
-penCils and schoolbooks
-baby food
Since Iraq cannot import
any pipe to repair war
damage to sewer systems,
raw sewage continues to
contaminate the drinking
water supply all over the
country. Without adequate
chlorine,
respira tory
infections and gastro-enteric
diseases run rampant, killing
an Iraqi civilian every two
minutes. This month, the
U.S.-led sanctions against
Iraq will kill 6,000 children
under the age of five,
according to the U.N's own
studies, and these children
will starve to death from
preventable causes-bad
water, malnutrition, lack of
medications, etc.
Unemployment is over
60% in Iraq and over 80% in
some urban areas, because
the
sanctions
have
bankrupted business. Prior to
the war, Iraq's economy was
booming, fueled by revenues
from
nationalized
oi I
prod uction . In fla tion has
devalued Iraq's currency by
3000°/". In addi ti on, wages
have dropped enormously. A
public teacher earning $450
monthly before the war now
earns $3.
Iraqi children go to
schools with 85 children in
one classroom, without
pencils, desks, schoolbooks,
clean drinking wa ter, or
adequate nutrition. Before
1990, Iraq imported 70% of its
food and 65% of its medicine,
obesity was the greatest child
health problem, and Iraq's
public health care system was
state-of-the-art. Today, with
international trade cut off,
and oil production drastically
curtailed, food and medical

quarter million to cover
"mandatory costs and strategic
priorities."
Energy costs have nearly
doubled and will continue to rise.
The college hopes to reduce
energy use, but even then, the bill
will jump by almost a million
dollars. A pIanned redesign of the
web site demands $l00,CXXl. The
general education requirements
will cost over $700,000 to
implement, and the school wants
to put three quarters of a million
into a rainy day-type emergency
fund.
How did all of this happen?
The i::olleg~ makes some
money (fro:jl1 corporations,
private donors, and fundraising
ventures) that it can spend
however it likes. But most of the
school's money, about 60 percent,
is public. It comes from the slate,
and from students as tuition and
fees. The legislature looks atwhat
the coll.ege asks for and then
deddes how much to give.

EQA Hosts Discussion on Hate Propaganda
Informational forum to feature faculty producedfilm "Special Lies: Hate Propaganda ofthe Rodical. Right"
By Dustin B. Cole
The day of Matthew Shepard's
funeral, anti-gay hate groups picketed
the cemetery with signs stating "God.
Hates Fags," "No Fags in Heaven,"
and many other hateful signs. This was
by no means the end of anti-gay
demonstrations. Such hate groups
protest all over the United States, and
the hate groups are not about to go
away. Even here, on the Evergreen
campus, we are not far from the
bigoted right. Every year, "Bible Jim"
visits this campus displaying signs
with anti-gay messages and condemns

By Roberto Saenz
Guatemala, located in the
middle of the American
continent, is a country of vast
contrast. It is a multi-ethnic,
pluricultural and multilingual
nation that has been glorified
since the Mayans for its
science, art, culture, Nobel
Literature, and Nobel Peace
prizes. But for more than 34
years, Guatemalans have
suffered fear, death and
kidnappings as a daily routine.
On Wednesday, May 16,
the Evergreen community will
be hosting a human rights
ilctivist from Guatemala.
Gloria Zamora will be giving disaster

BodyVox wraps Season
at Washington Center
After 24 spectacular performances, The Washington Center's
2000-2001 One World Season wraps up with a performance by
modem dance company BodyVox.
BodyVox will take its audience on a journey through The Big
Room at The Center. It's the first - and much anticipated Olympia visit for the Portland-based company.
I;
The Big Room, BodyVox's first full-length work, is a collection
of impressions based on a computer jargon phrase company
co-creator Jamey Hampton happened across as he perused a
WIRED magazine feature.
"The Big .Room is the rest of the world beyond the keyboard and
the mother board< Hampton explained. "We were inspired by the
statement and the !Iony that all of nature is a big room."

to get a collec tion of people. A lot of people
came and went. It's kinda just narrowed
down itself. A selec t few just kinda stayed
and enjoyed rowing and we rowed really
we ll together. The women had, at the
beginning, ilie most amoun t of people
compared to the men's team, but over ilie
season, it reversed. <ch uckles>
ePJ: How many people actuall y came out
for crew?
Miriam: 1 think ilie total number was at
least a hundred, origina ll y, that came and
got at least some kind of contact wiili our
coach.
ePJ: So could someone talk a little bi t
about the races tllemselves, and getting
prepared for them, and what ac tua ll y
happens?
Gabe: You're talking about how practice
compares 10 racing, righ t? Two whole
d ifferent ballgames. It's ... the races are
seven minutes long ... aro und se ven
min utes long .. . and intense ... nonstop.
And practices - we practice both wi ili ilie
2,000 meters and ... just rowing.
ePJ: So are ilie races fun? I mean, what's
ilie exci tement like on ilie water?
Miriam: Well, as soon as you get your boat
on the water ... when you're on land,
you're nervous, just like totally nervous,
and you ' re seeing all iliese other crews
around you, and yo u know that this is
your competition. You're Jooking at all tile
nice boats iliat they have. And ilien as soon
as you get on ilie water, you just click, and
you're like, "OK, I'm on ilie water, iliis is
where I'm comfortable." Usua lly, for ilie
women, ilie omen of a good race is a bad
p ractice. We know it's gonna be a really,
really good one if it's a bad practice, so after
the practice you get to ilie starting line, and
it's just like you're waiting for someone to
say "go," and it's like boom l Instant, yo u
Just chck on .d yo u sta rt padd ling.
<la ughs> It's _"lly crazy.
ePJ: What was ilie top race of the season
for ilie women?
Miriam: I'd have to say tile Husky Invite.
It was definitely tile best one. It just felt
good.
ePJ: Why is that?
Miriam: It just felt like tile women were
really, really connected . We all just kinda
clicked togeilier and it was all just really
... I don't know, it just felt really, rea lly
good. We also placed second, whi ch was
a plus. It was great.
ePJ: How about ilie men?
Steve: I've heard from other people tllat
our bes t race was one that started out
about ilie worst. <ch uckles> Somebody
made a pretty bad mistake ... iliat was
me ... <chuckles> and slowed the boat
down considerably for quite a while, and
it justabout stopped it. We lost a lot of time.
We were in ilie back of ilie boats to begin
w iili, and 1 iliought we were screwed for
iliat race; I iliought iliat was it until we
started going aga ill . For whatever reason,
we we re able to pick it up alm ost
immedia tely and took off hard, and we
went harder and fas ter, I think, ilian we
ever had before. It was kinda like an oilier
boundary or anoilier barrier iliat we had
made it through; someiliing that we just
didn't think was possible, but found ou t
later it was. We ended up ... 1 think we
finished iliird in tllat race, even given what
happened. I was rea lly impressed Wi tll
how well everybody took it. I mean, J
screwed up big time, and I never fe lt any
pressure from anybody else as far as
messing up, you know. It was Just ... no
big deal to them. They were all ecstatic as
far as how the race wen t and their
performance. We. found out we co uld
really make a hard charge at ilie end. I
iliink it opened up a lot of possibilities for
the future.
ePJ: How does being on a crew team
compare to being on any oilier sport iliat
you 've played?
Joel: I think being on a crew team, yo u
actua lly push yourself to your absolute
limit, because being in a boat Witll eight
otller people, you can't stop rowing even
though you're about to die, and so it's iliat
charge you feel from everybody else iliat
keeps you going to where like .. . [ did
disclls in high smool. and I trained five
hours every day and never ca me to ilie
ac tu al limit of my body. Crew has just
helped me bring it out and see iliat ... you
have so much more in you than yo u tllink
you do.
ePJ: What's tile top momentof ilie season?
What's the hi ghlight? What's the best?
When did you feel like you were on top of
ilie world, you know, "I'm on top of the
(SPORTS)t-----by Shasra Smirh
world!" I mea n, w hat was th e best
moment?
Joel: Actually, there was one moment that
had nothing to do Witll our boat, but ilie
Lightweight Men, like I saw iliem progress
so fast. They just took us one day; we got
split up into fo urs, and they just bea t us. It
was a grea t feeling iliat iliey worked so
hard, even iliough it showed that we had
to work a lot harder. That was a good
feeling, to see ilia t iliey were so commi tted
to being co mpe titi ve. Th a t co uld be
~onsidere~ one of the best times, saying
wa lt a mmute, we are competitive, and
we will row as hard as you will row, and
we will beat you!" The Lightweight guys
just rocked us that day.
ePJ: What now lhat ilic season has ended
early? What happens to the team? What's
next?
Steve: Well, for ilie moment, we're rowing
- speak ing for myself, at leas t - we're
rowing just for the love of it. A lot of us
like to row, so even though iliere's no more
races, we still enjoy being in ilie water, and
I think we' re taking adva nta ge of ilie
opportunity and just enjoying rowing for
row mg. It's been really kinda fun, just to
relax and not have the pressLlfe of racing,
and we're ab le to mix up tile lineups a lot
more dnd more or less just play. I think a
lot of us are thinking long-term as far as
what we' re doing over the summer to
build a base, to be ready to come into the
fall and start winning ... start training and
having to compete on a different level.
Next yea r, a lot of us aren' t going to be
novices anymore, so ilie competition is
going to be very good.
e PJ: So, is offseason training goi ng to be
unportant?
Steve: It will be. Not at ilie moment right
now, but we ' re gonna tr y to hea l ...
<chuckles> heal the injuries, give our
bodies a break to recover, concentrate on
sc hool a little more, a nd try to get
somew hat of a life, 'cause for ilie last many
months, for a lot of us, it's been crew, and
I think it's important to have somewhat
of a balance, so I think a lot of us are just
gOlllg to try to .. . relax, and try to spend at
least some time iliis summer away from
... away from the boats, and away from
row ing, and come back fresh.
ePJ: So when does tile season pick up
again?
Joel: We start in September of nex t year.
And then race ... our first race iliis season
was November, and so I think as Varsity,
we' ll actuall y do more, so it might start
early November iliis time.
ePJ: So is iliere room for new rowers to
come out and join you?
Steve: There's been a little bit of talk about
opening it up more for people who just
want to come out and try rowing early in
the fall. So tha t' s going to be a mance for
people who are potentially interested tei
come in and try it without having the
commitment of saying "yes, I'll be there
the whole year." Just kind of a mance to
come in, try it out, and then if you get
hooked, and you want to race and compete
and be very serious about it, continue on
from iliere. There's rea lly no limit. The
limit is money; I mean, we need to have
enough boats for as many people as want
Lo row. We're defini tely looking to grow; I
mean, I think a lot of people on ilie team these people I know for sure- have helped
really build a pretty strong foundation fo r
what ... what I tllink is going to be a great
program.
ePJ: Wha t wo uld you say to someone who
wants to come out to row, but might be a
little bit hesitant because they maybe don't
want to get up early, or iliey're a little bit
afraid of the commitment of rowing that
you put in ... what would you say to iliem?
Everyone: Just try it, just come out for a
week and give it a shot, give it a try.
Gabe: Give it two weeks, and if you're not
hooked by tllen, ilien it's probably not for
yo u. But, it's addicting like I said; it's great.
Joel: It'll definitely chan ge yo ur life .
Everything I do now, I know I can push
myself harder, even like with academics
,., just because I know I've pushed myself
harder with rowing, so it'll balance your
life out and help you to be ... iliat much
be.tter of a person.
Steve: For me, it's not really so much about
the races itself; it's ilie whole process of
preparing and training and p racticing and
getting up early and rowing when the sun
comes up, and it's just an amazing feeling
to be out tllere on ilie water when it's like
glass and see ilie SWl come up, and ... all
your senses are alive. It's a beautiful thing.
I know it sounds kinda corny, like "what?";
but it's really an amazing iliing. And then
to come home and ... I've got a housema te
who, you know, may not even be out of
bed yet. It's like yo u get iliis whole special
tune of the day iliat's just yours, and you
just kinda walk around a while, look back,
smile, and say "iliat was great."
ePJ: WeU, thanks for taking the time to talk
to me about crew. Good luck wi ili next
season, and ilianks again.
I'v e always been an athlete .
From my younger years running on
the soccer fields, scoring goals, to
more r ece ntly competing in the
World Championships of Sport
Karate, I've always had the drive to
compete. Usually I'm a player, or r
watch sports as a spectator. This
year, I have expanded beyond the
boundaries of the sidelines and now
write about sports as well as
participat~ in them. The articles that
I first helped get into the CPT
sparked a drive in me that turned
into a sports editorialship. Then, in
an - effort
to
give
more
com prehensi ve and interesting
coverage, the Shasta's Evergreen
Sports Show was created. Now,
there are two media resources that
you can use to find out about
Evergreen sports: the sports section
o~ the CPJ and Shasta's Evergreen
Sports Show. The underlying
current in both the paper and the
show is to give the players and
teams some recognition that they
deserve that was lacking here at
Evergreen.
Now, in the ultimate evolution
of that recognition, Shasta's
Evergreen Sports Show is having an
end o~ the year special saluting the
efforts of the sports community here
at Evergreen. The crew of Shasta's
Evergreen Sports Show will choose
administration that made ·th e
.
tearns ' s u ccesses possible,
vanous
from the most fantastic plays to the
most fantastic players . The awards
will be presented based on the
highlights and r e po r ts from the
show and CPJ. You will see things
such as bes t record, bes t play, most
improved team, most i nfluential
sports figure, top coach, and mos t
underrated playe r.
In the next issue of the CPJ, I
will present you with a list of
awards to vote on. The direct input
from the votes will determine most
of the awards. I encourage you to
takethetimetorecognizetheefforts
of the athletes, coaches, workers,
and administration that have
pushed the teams to their various
plateaus.
. This is also an opportunity for
the students and community
members to help shape the nature
of these awards. I invite you to help
me and the crew of Shasta's
Evergreen Sports Show to make the
best awards show possible. If you
have an idea for an award you
would like to see, please email me
at smisha13@evergreen.edu and
remember to give your idea a title
and brief description; all ideas will
be . considered. This is everyone's
opportunity to acknowledge the
accomplishments of the sports
figures that have worked so hard

New Generation, from page 14
approximately seven months;
therefore, we are only slightly
more than halfway through our
beginner phase of growth . The
judge told our coach that, next
competition , we should be
moved up to compete with the
intermediates,
who
have
trained from one to three years .
After this experience with the
forms competition I was
pumped, ready for the fighting
ring and ready to continue to
establish
a
standard
of
excell~nce for the Junior Team
Evergreen.
Ben Green fought first, and
I anxiously awaited my chance
to spar. He performed well and
ended up taking fourth in the
division. My first match was
more than exciting. ] was down
by three near the end of the
match and needed to make a
comeback. Then something
happened that was kind of
strange, but not surprising to
those who know me. An image
of Bruce Lee entered my mind,
and] imagined the fluidity,
poise and perfection with
which he fought. To my
surprise, this vision actually
helped
me
to
regain
composure . I then made a
comeback and the match ended
three to three. We went into a
s udden death overtime, where
the first fighter to score a point
wins . I jump kicked off the
line, made contact with his
head, and that was the end. I
had won the match. I ended
taking silver in the point
s parring competition.
My
last
continuous
sparring match ended in a
draw as well. This time I was
fighting my own teammate
Owen O'Keefe . I was unable to
pull this one off, and Owen
beat me out for the gold .
The day was an enormous
success
for
the
second
generation Everg-r een Kung Fu
team, and it felt like we had
gone 'a long way towards
making a place for ourselves in
the martial arts world. Watch
out. The new Team Evergreen
is on the rise.
Letter from Crew, from page 14
have learned numerous lessons
by
pushing
ourselves
physically
and
mentally
beyond what we thought
possible. I hope that many
other students will take the
opportunity to have their own
wonderful rowing experiences.
There have been a lot of
people putting in much time
and effort to build a successful
row"ing program her-e at the
