~IOW ltn LXltle' An interview with
I~
bv Ch ristine Sanders
cs: Since what folks are ca llin g
th e Chr istm as Co up of2000, Pacifica
h as undergone so me pretty se ri o u s
c h a n ges. Can yo u t a lk abou t th e
circ um sta n ces leading u p to the exi le
of Democracy Now'
AG : I'm afra id there is a political
purge goi n g on at Pacific a. In
December, Pacifica m"nagement came
to NY f rom Wa shin gton a nd they
changed the lo c ks on the stat ion, fired
lo n gci me staff a nd in scalled n ew staff.
F rom then on the management h as
banned a nd fired scor es of peopl e .
T here is a huge li ste ne r bas e arou nd
the co untry that is fighting to take
Pac ifi ca back to its roots. Pacifica was
fo un ded by a man named Lou Hill
right afte r World War II. H e refu sed
to fight in W/W II , was imp riso ned ,
and whe n he ca m e out of ja il he said
there has Co be a m edi a outlet that's
not buildi n g a dr umbea t for war, that
is not r un by co rporations but by
journalists and artists. And so Pacifica
was born and grew to 5 sta tions . It is
now a well-k nown d issident vo ice in
this co untry. It's a place where peop le
like Pau l Robeson, the grea t s in ge r
and ac ti vist, knew that he co uld go
whe n h e was blackli s ted from every
place in thi s country tha·t he wo uld
C , Amy Goodman
be hea rd . Peop le like J ames Baldwin
in the 1960s co uld debate Malcolm
X a b o ut th e iss ue s o f violence and
no n vio le nce . That's th e great trad iti o n
of Paci fi ca.
We feel , in times o f more ch a nnel s
o wn ed by fewe r co rporation s, th ere is
an eve n more narrow vo ice out th e re,
fewer forums to hear different voices.
We're fightin g back beca use million s
of people built this netwo rk to be the
vo ic e of the voiceles s, to be a forum
for th e marginalized, a nd we a re going
to co ntinue to be that.
CS: As a cou ntr y, we ho ld a beli ef
in o ur m edia as " lib era l" a n d represe nt a ti ve of free speech a nd hea dlin e
cove rage, whil e these are the qu a liti es
by wh ic h Pacifica is artempting to
suppre ss "Democracy Now' " What are
yo ur thou ght s on chis hypocrisy'
AG: first o f a ll , I would n ot say
that th~ media has a lib e ral bia s at
all. I think that t he estab lishment is
made up of Democratic/Rep ubli can
corporate forces, a nd they ' re very
much in ag reeme nt, a nd th ere is
ve ry little debate th ere . W h e n yo u
hear debate, it 's on the fin e points
of whether a n ai r war should be a
g round wa r, o r ju st how mu c h m o ney
we shou ld spe rid on the milita ry, not
whether th e re should be a military
at a ll. If yo u lo o k at who is being
int e r viewed, it becomes evi dent,
es peci all y now in times of war, you
hav e thi s parade of retired generals
and rep rese nt a tives of government
and co rpora tion s, and ve ry few voices
for pei'ce. I don't think anyone co uld
a rgu e with thac p o int. The media
se rves a purpose in times like thi s .
That is to manufacture consent for
war, eve n if the general population
doesn't feel chis way at the beginning
(that we sho uld bomb innoce nt civilians to ave n ge th e deach of innocent
civilians) , they JU St pummel away until
yo u think th at's th e only a pproac h .
I be li eve th e media should serve
a d ifferen t purp ose: to air a ll voices,
tho se who say n o war and those who
say drop a nuclea r bomb on the world,
a nd let people decid e . I don 'c think
t har 's rhe kind of media we have today.
I think re porter s a re supposed to be
co n fro nt a ti o n a l. We are noc there
to appease th ose in power or to be
invited to th e Whi te Hou se. We are
t her e to as k c h a llengin g questions ,
not to ap pl aud th ese people and make
t h e m co mfortable . There is an o ld
ad age, whic h is th at we should affl ict
the co mfortable , and comfor t the
afflicted. That is the role I think we
should play.

Police are called in after dispatch is told
by 91 I that someone had fallen about 200
feet from the bluffs at the beach.
The police arrive at the beach and find
several people with fla shlights looking for
the person.
One of the cops goes with the fire department, while the other sets out looking with
Crimewatch. The first cop finds two people
walking in the woods. They in turn, say that
they have seen the man who fell off the bluffs
and a friend of his. He is reported as "dirty
from the fall but appeared to be fine."
Police, however, are unable to find the
man and his friend.
At 2:30 a.m., Crimewatch contacts a
neighbour of his and asks her about the fall,
since she was seen in F-lot around the same
time it happened. She says that he had some
"head injuries and some cuts an his body,"
and that he is at Capital Medical Center.
When the reporting cop goes to CMC,
he asks and is told that no one has been
checked into the ER for the last hour. He is
about to leave when he s<es a car pull into the
ER entrance. A man, who appears to have a
head injury, and two women get out of the
car. The man, who is the fall victim, is taken
inside the hospital.
The cop talks to the woman mentioned
earlier by the people in the woods and ask.!
her what happened. She says that they wert
walking in the woods and he fell. When asked
where they had bc<n for the last 90 minutes,
she says that they were lost in the woods.
Both she and the fall victim are reported
as smelling of "the strong odor of intoxicants, ..

that the reporr will be sent to grievance.

This year, rhree statewide initiatives to the

Washington state will have the opportunity
to cast their ballots for or against rhe,.

Initiatives deserve ca reful consideration

Taxes.
This iniriative was authored by Tim
Eyman and his group. "Perma nent
Offense." of Mukilteo. Washington. As
wi rh his other initiatives (1-695. 1-745).
Eyman Wrote 1-747 in hope of decreasing
the taxes for Washington stare c irilcns.
This year. he wants to achieve rhis by
a limIt on property tax Increases. If it

"Property

art' an important
source of gover nm ent revenue," says
Jodi Wilbams. a first yeJr student. "But
a I % raise limit would be good because
it would st ill allow the tax to increase as
needed. withollr hurting working-clas<
families and the disabled."
1-773, Healthcare for
Washington's working
families.
"It is the intent of the people to
improve the health of low-income chil dren and adu lts by expanding access
to basic health care and by reducing
tobacco-related and other diseases and ill-
nesses that dispropurtionately affect lowincome pe rsons," reads t his ini tiative's
statement of purpose. In order to realize
rhis goal. author Astrid Berg of Seattle
proposes an additional sa les rax of sixty
cents per pack of cigarettes. and a new
su rtax on who lesale cigarettes . The
revenue will be spent o.n existing health
scrvjce~, violence reduction programs,
drug enforcement, water quality programs. low-income health eare. and antitobacco programs.
"Overall. it sounds like a worthwhile
initiative." says transfer studenr Lauren
Mathisen. "BlIt if it 's supposed to be

E. Rose Nelson. a recent Everg ree n

" It'sone ofrwo things I was raised to do'"
she says, "you give blood and you vore."
The Puget Sound Blood Cenrer has
nine centers and 13 mobile units in

Mobile units visit Evergreen every rwo
months trying to get donations from 50
people and theit goal this week was no diffe rent. despite the events of September I I.

More Students at Evergreen, But Classes Stay Small
Continuing Growth to be Absorbed by New Rooms, Schedules, Teachers
by Corey Pein
One ofEvergreen's most lauded feat ures
is small class size. The college has tradirionally kept a ratio of under 30 studen ts to
every facu lty membe r.
But a legislative mandate has forced the
college to bring in 800 more students by
20 I O. Many long-time faculty are getting
ready ro retire. Thanks to a statewide
tecession. the planned Seminar II building
- intended to handle the school's growth
- will exist only on blueprints for a while
longer. AJld President Les Puree indicated
In an e-mail last week rhat the co ll ege
might curtail spendi ng on things that aren't
priorities.
Evergreen's planners say that despite
these difficulties. they don't expect class sizes
to increase. They are rescheduling classes.
remodeling rooms. and hirin g new fac ul ty
to keep that from happening.
Don Banrz. a fac ul ty dean in charge
of scheduling space. says that the studenrteacher ratio takes priority in his decision
making. H,>assures rhat Evergreen's growth
will not affect academics.
A 1997 coll ege space-efficiency study
said that the college cou ld not accommodate
5.000 st uden ts (the number required for
2010) without a new building. Banrz says
that "we're ok" for now. and notes that
some of the growth is in off-campus and
part-time programs,
"You could look at Sem inar II and say
we don't need it." Bantz sass. though he
is optimistic that it will be built. He says
the college has a plan to hand le the growth
berween now and 2003. when the building
was sc heduled to
be finished.
Part of that
plan is scheduling

Bonjour, JBon Appetit
by Brent Pallerson
F
/'
ine Hosr. t he company that provided Evergreen with all of its
food service last year, is gone. It
seems rhat there remains no lingerin g
attachment from the student body. The
most tender farewell I co uld gather from
the cafeteria. packed with the noon rush.
was something along the lines of "good
riddance."
As of September I ", Bon Appetit.
a 15-year-oId San Francisco based food
service company, took over Evergreen's
kitchen, as it were, a process that entailed
some minor remodeling, plenty of training, and a hopeful new outlook on the '
future cuisine at Evergreen . Bon Appetit
has been a big hit among universities and
corporations (Stanford University and
The Exxon Company. USA are among
quite a few other big nam« on their
clientele list) , which makeup the majoriry
of their accounts. Since their beginning
in 1987. revenues have grown from $15
million to over $257 ·million. " Their
success is due apparently to there selftouted "commitment to quality," which
translates into ftesh food made from
scratch. and their ability ro adapt to the
unique quirks of each of their clients.
Jennifer Hall. the on sight manager of
Bon Apetic's new account with Evergreen,
spoke about molding to Evergreens biggest quirk.
"The commitment that we made to
this campus was to provide as much
organic as we could poss ibly source, "
putting Hall in a difficult conundrum of
providing a costly product to a clientele
that is notoriously poor. In order to offset
higher prices (and because it just seems
reasonable) a n alli a nce betwe en Bon
Appetit and Evergteen's organic fatm is
in the works. Bon Apperir currently buys
some of its produce from th e farm at a
"small disco unt" and will be abl e m ake
requests. according to theit needs. as to
w hat crops will be p lanted the foll owing
yea r. In turn , Hall said. th e farm will be
able ro "reall y ramp up and maximize
the land there because they will have the
consume rs that weren't there before ...
we're very excited."
The collaboration sho uld yield addit ional ben e fits for st udents . As Bon
Appetit begins to purch ase larger volum es
of produce from the Evergreen organic
farm, Hall anticipates rhar savings will
accrue from paying only minimal tran sportation and distribution cosrs. whic h
acco unt for about half of the total price,
and intends to "pass those savings along
to students," perhap s in the form of a
scholarshi p.
A
s for the food: how does it taste ?
Whar are my options? The menus
are created here, "not in some corporate
office." on a weekly basis and will be
dictated by what student's want and
what is on the market ... so flavors will
vary. A general poll of the noontime herd
indicated a happy bunch.
"It's a good mea l ," said Brendan
Fowler. Which should be no surprise: all
of the high chefs are professionals hired
in from the restaurant and hotel industry
"specifically for rhe quality of work they
do," Hall said. In response to options,
among the rhings that vary, which are
mostly the hot meals, there are rhings that
do not vary (or at least not very much)
and we should call these the standatds.
The standards vary themselves, according to time. However, we can say this
much: in the morning one could find
different types of bagels, and rhings that
are associated with bagel s, like cream
cheese; and other morning-time rhings
like coffee, cereal and muffins, and all
of the things that are associated with
them . And it goes on this way for lunch
and dinner too.
As with the menus, so too will the

doesn't think it's a problem. "We need
more resources," Bohmer says ...... (right

"Jr's kind of expensive upstairs ." says
Mike Schor. "$4.50 for a sandwich. "
Orhers have disag.reed with the price
of bagels. Hall agrees that feedback to
high prices is "definitely understandable"
and reiterates the difficulties of balancing
high prices versus the demand for organics. She suggests that one way in which
students can reduce their expenditures is
to use their student"lD cards to pay for
food at Evergreen. Not only is it quicker
than paying cash or credit, but there is
no sales tax charge so "you pay 8% less"
on every pu rchase.
Asked if she had anything else to
add Hall respo·nded. "Just thanks, we are
really so happy to be here ... ~nd please
keep us posted ... give us feedback." In

More Grievance
Cases Investigated
Last year grievance counselo r Joe Tougas
investigated about rwice as many cases rhan
the grievance counselor did the year before.
He investigated 62 underage drinking cases
last year. The year before. there were 39.
Last year he investigated 18 vandalism cases.
The year before. there were seven.
Tougas rhinks there are more cases
because of a few different things. One is
that the cops are stricter about making
arrests . Another is that Evergreen has
"a noticeable increase in students with
psychiatric diagnoses and students under
medication," he said. Another is peer pressure. "We had a lot of shoplifting from food
service - it got to be a rhing. You remember
last January and February, all rhis tension
at Fine Host." Tougas investigated 38 rheft
cases last yeaf!) The year before rhere were
only nine.
Bur Tougas isn't sure what would make
campus crime rates drop. He th inks rhat
more cops making more arrests wouldn't
necessarily do anything to stop people
stealing or vandalization or under-age
drinking. - Whirney Kvasager
Student Discovers
New Species
Long hours of work and study can
payoff. A srudent in Evergreen's Masters
in Environmental Studies program has
discovered a new species of bacteriophage.
Bacteriophage are tiny viruses that
attack bacterial cells. The phage, which
looks like the lunar lander and operates
like a hypodermic needle, attaches itself to
the outside of a bacteria and injects DNA.
The DNA code instructs the bacteria to
produce m asses of new phages. until the
bacteria explodes.
Theresa Nation discovered rhe previously unknown species while working on
her master's thesis . She was working on a
phage therapy that would cure a specific
disease that affects salmon.
Evergreen has received recognition for
its bacteriophage research . This August
Evergreen hosted an international conference devoted solely to the biology of phages.
Faculty in vo lved in the research include
Betty Kutter, Butt Guttman, and Jim
Neitz.e. The phage lab is located in rhe LAB
I building.
Nation as no t yet named her contribution to human knowledge. - Corey rein

I
f you had told me a month ago
that I wou ld ever complain that
Michael Jorda n wasn't getting
enough press coverage ... well, you
wouldn't have. I am perpetually enraged
by all the attent ion paid to sports and
athle tes, w ho may be interesting, bur
are rarely news, This is not an opinion
I am quiet abo ut. Lately the bane of
my existence is the Mariners and their
stupid winning streak. I have to hear
about them all the time, and people
aCt like it's a f"deral crime that I don't
care. Consequently, I am shocked to find
that I'm upset by how little attention
(comparatively) the media is paying to
Jordan's second comeback.
Of course, it's not just Jordan that
I'm upset about, Janet Reno is being sued
for violating the rights of protesters, Isaac
Stern is dead, Thurston Co unty is debating the establishment of a methadone
clinic, and the media doesn't give a
damn . They're too busy covering every
conceivable angle of the ATTACK ON
AMERICA, and several angles I would
not have conceived of if you had locked
me in a room full of monkeys and rypewriters for a millennium. I'm not going to
tell you how I feel about the hijackings.
You know how I feel, and I shouldn't
have to say it every time I want to express
an opinion that hasn't been specifically
espoused by a Bush in th e last forry-eight
hours. I am going to say that thousands
died but millions live, and !I'e still need to
know what's going on. We deserve to know,
not because resuming our normal lives is
standi ng up to the terrorists, but because
we a re alive and we have to deal with
life. All of it. not just the parts that
pertain ro a ny single eve nt, no matter
how mass ive. Can we face the world
without knowi ng JorJan has retu rned ?
Abso lutely. Th e sto ry a bou t Re no is
se riously releva nt Ihough, cons id er ing
her gubernarorial aspirations. Once
agai n, the f., irhr,,1 C PJ mu st fill th e
ga ps left by rhe mainstream media.
H ere are some of the sro ries you shou ld
be hearing more .bo u!.
I realize that I leave myself open
to accusations of hypoc risy hy listing
this fir st, since there are probably many
more Greeners interested in Michael
Jordan than a v iolinist, but if you
don't like it, write your own co lumn.
Please. Isaac Stern: brilliant vio lini st,
really nice man and gift from the
gods, died o n Sep te mb er 22 at age
8 1. Ste rn mentored Yo-Yo Ma and
Itzhak Perlman, helped prevent the
demolition of Ca rn egie Hall in the
' 60s, and was ge nera ll y the coolest
violinist of our time.
A group of peop le who were protesting outside the hom e of Eli.nL,
Gonzalez's Miami relatives claim to
have been gassed a nd beaten by troops
ca lled in during Go nza lez's forced
removal. They a re suing Jan et Reno
for millions of dollars, claiming she is
directly responsible. A judge has ruled
that the fact that she was the Attorney
General at the time does not protect
her from legal action. I have found no
comments from Reno, but ihis may be
because of the dearth of coverage.
Thurston County commissioners are
debating starting a methadone treatment
program for heroin addicts. One-hundred
and twenty-seven Thurston County
residents soug ht treatment in a King
Counry methadone program earlier this
year, and it seems likely that there are
addicts in need of treatment who lack the
resources co travel that far, Furthermore,
statistics indicate that areas with a crystal
meth problem often develop a' serious
heroin problem, which puts the South
Sound at risk. I have heard no arguments against the program except that
you shouldn't give addicts more drugs,
although methadone does not give heroin
addicts a high, but prevents unendurable
lows. Nonetheless, the county is treating
this as a strange and controversial proposal.
The Revolutionary Armed Forces of
Columbia (FARC) recently land-mined
a road CO prevent a protest caravan and
a popular presidential candidate from
entering their territory. Horacio Serpa
in tended to lead the caravan co the main
town in the area and make a speech
to pressure the FARC to grant concessions in their peace process with the
Colombian government. This story was
in the Olympian and fairly biased, so it's
hard to tell what happened, but it so unds
like the peace process is unraveling.
The media did cover these stories briefly;
that's how I found out about them. If
you look hard e nough, you toO may learn
about something that has absolutely nothing to do with the hijackings. Godspeed.

The New Patriotism

Whatever the definition
is, it has something to do with pride in
nationality, There is nothing wrong with
that. Aner all, nationality is a broadening
of community, someth ing we all share.
American values and ideals are something
to take pride in, but only when we live
up to them , As citizens we have cerrain
responsibilities. If we believe in our
proclaimed ideals _. democracy, freedom,
justice, etc. - then we should defend them.
But now the political climate has shifted
so far to the right that it is beginning to
resemble Cold War McCarthyism. Dissent
is labeled unpatriotic, un·American, and
sympathet ic to terrorism . Actually, it is
the exact opposite of all three accusations.
Dissent is what makes democracy possible. Without it we have totalitarianism ,
Yay for columns.
Look at all these nifty columns.
Do you have an opinion on
something? Of course you do, Do
you want to write about it in the
CP] on a weekly or bi-weekly basis?
Sure enough.
So, if you want to write a
column - run, don't walk, up to the

CAB and talk to Selby.

round ing neighborhoods. But he can't do
it alone. When there arc 7 on the Cou nc il,
there has to be a majority to make any decision. That's why we also need Steve Hughes
and Matthew Green on th e Council. Steve
Hugh es is an Evergreen grad; he's yo ung
and ded icated. He is a founding member
of the South Sound Green Party and his
focus is affordable housi ng downtown and
su pporting living wage jobs and local businesses. Matthew Green is a West Olympia

That is un-American.
Last week President Bush urged those
of us who can afford to, to step back on
the planes and fly the skies. It would
be unpatriotic to let a few multimilliondollar airline corporations fall victim to
the acclaimed 'free market.' Extending
that rhetoric, the president now calls forth
the vast middle-class to do their American
duty: buy, buy, buy! Economists think
that if we go on a heroic spending spree
we will save the economy from recession
(read: we will prevent a loss of profits),
(Warning: the remaining paragraphs
display patriotic dissent.)
Yet, America's consumption of material goods is a part of the problem that gOI
us to where we are today. The maldistribution of wealth at home and abroad is a ke)factor in spreading violence. Shoppin@
is not patriotic. Overconsumption i,
called greed. Some people even believe
that greed is a sin. Regardless of religiom
affiliation, greed is a universal trait thaI
nobody aspires to or is proud of. excepl
capitalists. The working class takes on th.
values of capitalists, falsely believing thaI
they too can join the club.
So, is it patriotic to be greedy? Only il
your religion is capitalism. Bush is a proud
believer in Christianity, so why does h.
turn greed into patriotism) The answer
lays in the public's role in America. We
once were CItiZenS, now we are consumers.
As consumers, we vote with dollars. If
you don't have enough dollars to get
your voice heard, work harder. It is your
duty to work hard and hand over the
dough.
Spending mon ey and overconsuming goods is th e n ew patriotism. It
is the definition of what it is to
be an American, according to the
Establishment. It is what unites us,
giving us common ground. Yet what
is the effect of a nationwide shopping
spree?
For one, it constitutes a mass transfer
of your hard-earn ed wea lth to a few of
the ri c hes t peo pl e and corporarions
on Earth. The people who will benefit
the most from greed 'a re rhe greediest
I % of Ame ri cans. Another effect is
that the consumpt ion of more material
goods will come at the cost of the
envi ronment , biodiversity, the poor,
a nd the global Sourh. We live off the
backs of our unseen neighbors, stealing
from them to satisfY ollr greed. Even
top CEOs acknowledge it. It's a price
they must pay for our prosperity, they
say.
As we " hea l" our wounds by shopping,
we infect the wounds. We redistribute
wealth, this time voluntarily, thus
exacerbating the fundamental inequities in the world. We escalate the threat
of vio lence in this way. At the same
time, we perpetuate terror through
direct force (military) and foreign
policy (finance). The new patriotism
takes resources from the poor and gives
it to the rich. Now it calls on us, the
citizen-consumers to do it willingly,
patriotically. Will you do your share? Or
will we as citizens define for ourselves
what it is to be a patriot'

"Who's there?"
"Oh j ust the Big Bad
Queer. No cause for alarm, Honey. I have
come to set you free, sister-child!"
"But I'm a guy."
"For cryin' out loud boo, I know that.
It's time you and your little clam diggers
and old rusty Adidas ass, came the hell
out of that closet! I mean for real girl! {
ain't never seen so many skinny Iii' white
boys shoved in one tiny little room like
that! We got a show to do honey pie, and
your life is Act One baby! Now COME
ON OUT!!"
Never fear, it isn't .0 dramatic as that.
Of course in certain cases of coming out
of the closet (admitting you're queer),
young men and women are faced with
an onslaught of discrimination. At times
this means an angry parent with a gun to
his/her gay' son's head, or an exiled and
abused lesbian being forced to fend for
herself in the streets of a city. This is the
life of the unseen minority. BlIt com ing
out of the closet is not always a fuU meal
deal . Rather, it is a process, and this process
begins with the acknowledgement that
your natural urges and tendencies are better
released to the open air than bottled and
stifled inside a concrete shell.
Last Tuesday I was renting a film at
Video 1 on the East Side, and it happens
that I chose to rent from the "alternative
lifestyles" section. It was cheap movie day,
so I moved on to the new releases to snatch
a second video for perusal. Almost instantly,
two testosterone engrossed beefcakes
rammed through the doors of the store
with vigor.
"Alternative lifestyles" said the first, "I
bet there's something in there for you, heehee (snorr)," as he dominantly punched
his bud in the arm.
"Shut-up," cleverly replied the other.
Standing only feet away 1 began to feel
uncomfortable as their looming presence
charged the air with the most clouded and
uncomfottable of energies. They went on
to make a selection based on the aesthetic
quality of the leading acrress's bust, and the
potential for high budget special effects.
"Typical," I thought. Howevet, when his
buddy wasn't looking, the first dude stepped
The
back over to the alternative lifestyles section
and picked up one of the selections for
a quick glance. As his partner rurned, he
quickly shelved the box as though it were a
dirty dildo, or something equally as filthy
and embarrassing. I gawked.
The man must have noticed my allen tiveness to his discomforted masculinity,
for he made a rude child-like &.ce at me as
I was checking out the videos that I had
chosen to rent, wearing my fabulous pink
sweatshirt. All r could think of as I left
the building was a sense of gratefulness
for my own out-ness: 'Oh the horrors of
bottled-up, sexuality-oriented tension.'
Two days later, at the Capitol Theater
I was wimess to quite a contrary event.
Htdwig and tlu Angry fil ch, the story of
a pop-rock, debauched transvesti te, was
playing for one last showing. The line
of freaks extended nea rly half a block
down the street. As the film started, a buzz
of comfort and collective co nsciousness
permeated the theater. The first musical
number (and each in succession) ended
with enthusiasric applause and goodnatured ca tcalls. It was not an all-gay
audience. It was not even a predominantly
gay audience. It was, in fact, a sl!XUIllly secure
audience. Thus, it is my opinion that "the
closet" is a far more destructive life than
the often times challengi ng confrontations
of an open queer or sexually liberated
lifestyle. Get out while you can!
In the sp irit of coming out day,
October ) I, 2001, the Evergreen Queer
Alliance will be hosting a myriad of activities in Red Square. Please feel free to
parricipate. Even if yo ur closet is nor
one of a sexual nature, come join us by
metaphorically acknowledging your own
blocks. barricades. and repressed desires.
Have you evet wanted to explore something
new? Is there a thought or an action that
you have been waiting to put into motion
for wha t seems a millennium ? Now is
the time. We all must overcome our fear
together. The closet is a far scarier place
than rhe light of day. It is difficult to
determine your true friends in the dark.
Come share the sunshi n e with fellow
open-minded sun-kids. I promise, Jesus
will be proud.

(in this case the academic dea ns) have cl osed the
wood and metal shops to any student who doesn't
have an acade m ic need. rhal is to say who isn't in a program
or co ntract rhat requires access. The quarter's barely
begun, and the administration has come our with anorher
co ntroversial decision. Lasr year the schoo l's Ma rit ime
program was in jeopardy from budge r cuts (whi ch, by
rhe way, isn't out of the woods yet), and this year it 's th e
sho ps. But like lasr yea r. the reality isn't as dire as rumor
wou ld make ir so und ; it 's also nor as benign as some
would have it seem.
Here's the deal: Doug Hitch ret ired thi s ycar - I know
thi s because I had so me cake at hi s retirement party. For
the las t 29 years Doug has been director, shop reach er,
manager, med ic and a sort of human com purer in rhe
shops. And that's the problem: he's leaving some pretry
big shoes to fill.
I was talking with Daryl Morgan, the guy who's trying
to do just that, at leasr temporarily. He agreed that Doug
was exactl y what rhe school needed in those early days,
someo ne who cou ld do a variety of different jobs and keep
ow ... what more can I say' I
know there are a lot of people
who rece ntly have been enjoying th e new food service. They like the new
selection and think it is pretty tasty. I totall y
disagree.
My first e nco unter was when I had a
meal ti cket to a free dinner at the C Re. The
vege tarian food was disgusting to say th e least.
If J co uld use expletives, J wo uld fill this article
to th e brim. The noodles were sick, and my
words du jour for th e vegetable tOppings were
"bla nd and fo ul ," I wasn't even sure that rhey
were vegetables. It ·really wanted to make me
puke. It wasn't worth th e ti me to go there
even though it was free. I mean J should have
just made a damn peanut butter sandwich.
God, it was gross!
Jesus, and on Monday, I was with a ffien d
and he got a wrap and he bit into it and it was
the same f"'&O/Oing noodle stuff that I had o n
that Saturday. I decided to have the vegetarian
chili, which was pretty much some tomatO
paste with a couple of beans in it. I cou ld have
made better chili. 1 also bought bottled water
and that didn't even tasre right.
Maybe you think that I am b ein g roo
harsh, but come on, just because you put so me
rosemary garnishes on and put it in expensIve
wrapping doesn't mean it will taste good.
Maybe if they didn't use so much wasteful
and expensive containers, ir wouldn't be so
damn expensive. With names like "Wacky
Waldorf Salad" and th e "Comfort Zone" it
m akes me wonder where rhe hell I am. I mean
"Bon Appetit"? I keep waiting for the French
accent, mini mustache, beret, erc.
And rhen the prices. Jesus, people! It is
so expens ive and so unbelievably bad! So, I
haven't cried the Gree nery eve n though that's
the advice of" friend, bur why should I? I
think that I have given rhem enough tries.

and nonsensical parade route, and a march that
eventually split into two separate processions. I
will not argue here the merits of marching
to rhe Capitol versus the armory, although I
suspect that at nine o'clock on a rainy Sunday
night it didn't much maller where we went.
The point of the Sylvester Park event, as I and
many orhets understood it, was to come rogether
as a community to bemoan American military
aggression, and to demonstrare Ollt posi tion
ro the rest of Olympia. The most important
aspect of achieving this goal was to stay united
as a group - to march together [0 a common
destination, and to end rhe match there. Instead
we saw a march that gor smaller and smaller as
people became disillusioned with its length and
lack of direction. Obviously, a plan is needed
next time. Spontaneity and consensus can d o
many things, but rhey cannot create a parade
route.
r would hope that in the coming days and
weeks this movement, whether you cal l ir antiwar or anti-globalization or whatever, can find
the fertile ground between removed , cenrrally
planned academia and the chaos of the SII·ee r
to create a powerful force to combat Ameri can
imperialism and injustice.

it ,!II in his head. That is what is ar rhe crux of rhe problem.
The re IS no wrinen record of just who is com petent o n
what equipmenr, so it is possible thar someone co uld ger
in ove r rheir head and \~ind up trimm ing their fingernail s
back a li rtl e too 1:", so methi ng the adm inistration is trying
ro avo id. Before Doug was even offic ially our the door
rhere were problems wirh who cou ld do what, where
and when , etc.
So the decision that had so me folks pretty sti rred up
was imend ed to give Daryl a chance to make this job his
own and provide for the safety of the students. Sounds
all pretty reaso nable, right? I was beginning to think 50
when I saw the e- mail that was circu lated among staff and
faculty that expla in ed all thi s. It toO so unded reaso nable
excepr for one littl e word: "may." As in, access to the
shops "may" be restored at some po int, implyin g that ir
is a hope. nor a goal.
This bor hered me. In a lime of budget crunches, thi ngs
that go away have a rendency not to co me back. Also rhere
is a problem with the kind o f access we have e njo~ed at
Evergreen; It flIes In the face of state poltcy. You won t find
this kind of access to faciliries, equipment or even faculty
at any other state insritution . You also don'r see those
institutions ranked #4 In the nation, but I dIgress. Anyway,
I did what I always do: 1 asked questions.
I started ar the top wirh our new Provost--or VicePresident in charge of Academic Affaits, if you preferEnrique Riveros-Shafer. He's another guy trying to get used
to a new job, and while he couldn't say anything definite,
he did say he was in favor of access in principle. I took
this as a good sign and moved on. Next, 1 :lsked the dean
who had to make the decision that restricted access, Don
Bantz. He was also teluctant to say anyrhing definitive
in regards to the future of the shops, saying that the arts
people had to make recommendations based on their needs
from which the deans will establish the shops' policy. He
also said that it depended on who filled Doug Hirch's
posirion on a permanent basis; Daryl Morgan is only
interim. Does your head hurt yet? Mine sure does.
There is an underlying principle ar issue here, and that
is diversity of opportunity. One of my menrors here at rhe
school is fond of saying, "the mark of your intelligence is
the number and complexity of rhe connections that you
make;" Once I've learned a skill like compurer graphics,
I don t stop uSing Phoroshop just because I'm no longer
in that program. A classmate of mine once made a model
of rhe Sibley Mill ~Augusra, GA) in the woodshop as
an example of archlrecture in the New South. There is
I
n an atrempr to create more supply for the dramatic demand for American flags in response to
the "Attack on America," creative shopkeepers
are finding alternatives to the star spangled symbol of
the land of the free . Mike Perkins, owner of "America
the Beautiful," a flag store that also carries Halloween
costumes and Chrisrmas decorations seasonally, was
one of the brains behind the solution to the country's
shortage in American flags.
"I was talking with some customers, telling them
that we were positively out of American flags, and I
didn't know when to expect more. Of course they were
upset. One of the locals, Susan, just added a new wing
to her house and needed some more flags to make sure
that one could be seen from every window, needless
ro say - she was irate. People just can't ger enough
flags." Perkins continued, "So then I thoughr, what's
a flag but a symbol of unity, it doesn't really matter
whar it looks like. Just as long as they get rheir flag the
customers are happy."
Perkins took rhis idea to colleagues within his small
town in Gilroy, California. "I thoughr Mike was really
onto something," Kevin Johnson, friend and fellow

COPRED vs. Peace March
have seen two thi ngs this weekend, borh
of which relate broadly to rh e desire for
peace. One was the COPRED conference
on the Evergree n cam pus. The other was th e
garhering, and subseq uenr march, in Sylvester
Park on Sunday night. To me, these events
represenred twO exrremes in a movement that
desperarely needs to get its sruff togerher.
T he p rin ciple difference berween rhem
lay in spo ntaneiry. The COP RED confe rence
attempted to ignore the events of the moment.
Many papers were presented that had no menrion
of th e current crisis, and discuss ions generally
lacked rhe fervo r and passio n thar I cannot
help bur fed in these times. Ofren I wanted ro
ask the vis itin g academ ics "How can you ralk
about peace while overlooking the fact rhar your
co untry i, on th e brink of war?" This is not to
say Sep rem ber II rh received no attent ion . There
were seve ral events dedi ca ted to our narional
predi ca ment. T hey were ju st that , rho ugh separare meetings tacked on, nor an integral parr
of rhe conference.
Where COPRED lac ked in vita lir v and
spontaneity, the Sylvester Park evell[ was b~rst i ng
at the sea ms. This worked fine for a while, as "
few people, including Evergree n professor Peter
Bohmer, seemed to take charge and organize
a ring-around-the-park, followed by a sho rt
open "so rry rhere isn't a mi c," followed by a
march ro rhe Capi tol Building. It was here rhar

peop le decided rhar the armory would be a berrer

Satire
great hue and cry for more quantitative reasoning
at Evergreen; in welding and woodwork there is an
abu ndance of geometry and arirhmetic.
My point is rather than get all bent out of shape
afttr a decision is made for us , before we let the process
throw up another barricade or close another door,
let's get involved. If the issue of access hinges on the
selection of Doug's replacement, then ler's be clear rhat
whoever it is should understand our needs. If, as it was
indicated to me, it is in the hands of rhe "arrs people,"
well in a school withour departments, we are all arts
students just as we are all hisrory students and biology'
st udents and philosophy students, right>
Evergreen tries to do a great many rhings on
relatively lirrle money. So when somerhing closes,
even temporarily and no one complains, what is the
likelihood of ir returning? Whether that rhing is a
shop, or a boar, or a com purer, I see any loss to the
diversity of the opportunities here as diminishing the
school as a whole, and I think rhat is worth getting
involved.
- David Smith
flag aficionado said, "So we got to brainstorming, and
eventually we starred talking about Iceland, which
is what usually happens when Mike and I really get
into it and it occurred to me , Iike a divine vision, the
Icelandic flag - it's red , white, and blue. No stars, but
it's definitely go t the st ripes. If I convin ced all the
patrioric folk s in my vicinity to buy Iceland 's flag
in place of the Ame ri can flag, they'd be happy and
I'd get rid of all those Icelandi c flags I ordered when
Bjork released her first album in America. Well, no
one was interested rhen, but now I ca n hardly get
enough of them."
Perkins' and John son's plan seems to be so stupid
rhar it's brilliant. Icelandic flags can now be seen all over
rhe country; they are slowl y beginning to oUfnumber
the presence of the almost exti nct American flag. This
new trend has attracted the attention of President
Bush, who commented in a press conference.
"This is a testament to the creativity and patriotism
of the American peop le. The flag displays the noble
red (rhe president's favorite because "it reminds [him]
of fire trucks"), white, and blue in a proud and noble
way." The president did however warn those who are
riding the Icelandic flag wave a bit too optimistically
that "all is fine and good now, but if we find out that
there are terrorists in Iceland, this will be a black eye
for America and we will take drastic measures not just
once, but twice to prove that we were just trying to
trick them into thinking we like their flag."

Diversity at Evergreen
L
ooking about the Evergreen campus and rhe diversification of every subrlety of the hum an experience
surrounding Olympia area, one sees both is its own brand of homogenization. It is a bigger and
diversity and a kind of conformity. Really, more compli cated pattern than so me, but it is a pattern
it is one's choice as to which they see. Noticing only all the same. In order to main tain a rrue, organ ic diversity,
differences among the many, one sees only diversity, and we need to accepr where we are and where we come from.
taking note of only similarities, one sees only conformity. Do we really need to manufacture a very particular kind
It is only when we carefully look with eyes unvarnished of diversity that isn't occurring on its own '
In the name of diversity, do we need to bus in equal

thar we begin to notice the people behind these walls of parririons of every different race to thi s school? I think

One of the many things a lot of Evergreen students or creed, go here because they themselves want what

The Evergreen Stare College. Any opportunity stolen

"\V!hen watching Evergreen's men's
W and women 's b,sketball tea ms
play•. you would never thillk that Devin
and Toni Jones, the shooting guards for
each team, are married, but they are.
These two inreresting and motivated
players manage to juggle schoolwork,
basketball practices and gam es, and still
have time for each other. "We actually
met playing basketball," says Toni Jones.
They are the only married couple
playing basketball for Evergreen at this
time. "It's hatd, I won't lie to you, it's
hard" says Toni, "you go and tear your
body up [at practice] every night, and
sometimes weekends. and you sti ll have
to come home and not be cranky and
not take it out on [each other]" but '\ve
wouldn't trade it for anything now."
These two hard-working studen ts
starred playing college basketball at
Western Wyoming Community College
th ree years ago where they met and
then got married before transferring to
Evergreen on basketball scholarships
last year.
"[ came here to do something [
enjoyed," said Toni; they came "to play
basketball: to do something we like to do
because the opportunity was there, and
it's really the experience of a lifetime."
The people who watch us play here
at Evergreen "undersrand how much hard
work you have to put into it," added Devin.
They understand "how d ifficult it is to
juggle school and basketball and now [for
us] marriage"
A normal day for the Jones's has very
litde free time. They go to school early
in the morning, rush to practice, and then
get home and do homework before falling
asleep. While the Jones's sometimes play
around on the court together, "the time we
usually uy to spend together is rest time,"
says Toni Jones.
"Doing homework together is most of
our F..mily time," says Devin. "Our normal
day is very tiring," Toni adds, "Sometimes
we only have time to come home, ask how
each other's day went, and go to sleep."
When it comes to playing basketball,
these two have a lot of dedication. While
on the court the Jones's say being married
helps them respect the game more. "After
you get married, you take a lot less for
granted," says Devin, who now sees it as "a
privilege to actually play college basketball,
so [II respect it a lot more."
The team sees that respect also, and

A
small crowd had gathered in front
of P-Dorm, a nticipating the first
mud-wrestling event of the year. They
milled about the small infl atab le ring,
unsure of when, or if, any competitors
would s how up. By 4:30, the crowd
had grown restless, and the event
organizers were havi ng trouble finding
their c·o mpetitors.
Finally, by a quarter to five, the first
match began. It was Julene versus "The
Human Cannonba ll." After sizin g each

two girls were sliding around the ring
as Julene struggled to get some kind of
leverage. Afterwards , Julene commented
that the Cannonball's rugby experience,
combined with her own lack of training,
led to the Cannonball's victory.
The fourth match of the day brought
true wrestling sk ills to the competiti on
when Eric and Kei th took to the rubber

they seem to know what the Jones's bring
to the team. "They joke around, "bUt they
respect it," says Devin. "We are kind oflike
the team's mom and dad," adds Toni.
The men's basketball coach, John
Barbee, says that having a married couple
playing basketball for Evergreen "brings
the two programs closer together." The
women's basketball coach, Monica Heuer,
isn't sure how this will affect the teams, as it
is very early in the season, but she says that
it is already c!e.ar that "Toni brings a lot of
maturity to the team."

Keith found himself levered out of
the ring a couple of times, but no
decisive victory was to be had by either

Two-time winner Veronica was
declared victor of a chaotic 4-way match
against Katie, Jul es and Jessica, and later

After college these two have what they
want to do planned out. Devin is interested
in designing his own clothing line when he
graduates from Evergreen two years from
now. "He spends a lot of time designing
logos and stuff to put on shirrs," says Toni.
After graduation, Devin plans to find a job
and support Toni as she finishes her pre-law
degree; they also want to seme down and
have some kids when they start making
some more money. "[ never pictured myself
being married while in school," says Devin,
but "[ wouldn't trade it for anything."
Toni and Devin Jones believe that being
married actually helps them tackle what
they go through every day. "[t's just kind
of nice to know that you have that person
there in support of you no matter what,"
says Toni.

Slightly West wishes to extend its heartfelt apologies and
thanks to Pernn Randlette. Ms Randlette submitted her
photograph to Sligtly West for publication in the
"Springtimey 200 1" issue, and we printed her photograph on the cover without properly crediting her.
About 150 issues without the credit were distributed.
All remaining copies of Slightly West, available
at various locations around campus, have been corrected.
Sorry, Pernn, for any upset this may have
caused.
Sincerely,
Rebecca Smith
