There's no doubt about it: Bjork is percussion, popping and snapping like
in love. On the cover of ~sp~rtine, popcorn in hot oil.
Bjork's new maturity is evident in
her first new material since Sefmasongs
her lyrics. In "It's Not Up to You," she
and first new full-length album since
Homogmic, Bjork reclines resplendently accepts the inevitabiliry of the world and
in black and white, her arm over her the fact that she does not control ir all:
head , contentment written on her "I can decide what J 'give/but it's not
face, a swan's beak at her heart. She up to me/what I get given"; "it's not up
is completely open and vulnerable, to you/well it never really was .... " She
and this contentment and openness is expounds the virtues of going with the
flow, especially in relationships, such as on
reflected in the songs on Vespertine,
"Undo' : "it's not meant to be a strife/it's
her mellowest a nd most mature album
not meant to be a struggle uphill. " She
to date.
Bjork IS not just a musIcian; she also acknowledges that decisions made are
is an artist.
Her songs are not not permanent and irreversible: "if you're
just musical composit ion s; they bleeding/undo/if you're sweating/undo/if
are living, breathing works of art you're crying/ undo. "

some of Bjorki weird stuff with Sureolab

to the personal feel of the album; it is
like being inside Bjork's head, listening
to her inner dialogue. On " Heirloom,"
she stans out singing solo: "I have a
recurrent dream/every time lose my
voice/I swallow little glowing lights/my
mother and son baked for me"; then
she starts singing with herself: "we have
a recurrent dream/every time we lose
our voices/we dream we swallow little
lights/our mothers and sons bake for
us." She then expands into a theme of
healing: "while we're asleep/our mothers
and sons pour into us/warm g lowin g
oil/into our wide open throats."
"Un ison," the final song on tHe
alb um , sums up the growth that Bjork
has experienced: "I have grown my own
private branch/off this tree ... I can obey
all of your rules/and still be me. " This
represents the union of the individual
and the rest of th e world that Bjork
has experienced, and it is a real izatio n
that has changed h er outlook completely. The c horu s si ngs: " I never
thought I would compromise/let's
unite tonight.. .. " Bjork h as learned
to compromise, a nd thar is not a bad
thing. If her pre vious albums were
mountain ranges, jagged and hard, with
unpredictable peaks a nd valleys, then
Vespertine is an ocean, formed of rolling
waves of sound and undercurrents of
emotion that flow ceaselessly and endlessly, soo thing in its universality.

VEGAN RECIPE O' THE WEEK

-----------brought to you by e.a.r,n.

evergreen animal rights network

Sly, Dark Sense of Humor
Using animation, live action movi es , stock footage and performance, July created a
creepy, unnerving, often hilarious world inside the h ead of one co nfused woman. Packing
herself into a garbage bag, July's alter ego buries herself in her own backyard and then
tries to get on with the rest of her life. But then she gets curious. Is her dead self having
a better time than her living self?
J~jy's sly, dark sense of humor lightened what could easily have been a sca ry story. Upon
findmg a body m a park, a couple has a htlan ous argument about their cel l phone. A man
who runs a car-door-opening service (where we are introduced to "the swan tool ") is wittily
characterized by July. The themes of suicide, sex ual a buse, insa nity, lo neliness, and despair
were heavy ones. but mixed with the laughter. they were handled well.
During the perfo rmance, I felt almost dirry - yo u're deep in a woma n's head . experiencing
her em?tions, learning her thoughts. But I also fe lt sympathy for the cha rane r - she was
expressmg real, human emot ions that everyone feels at some point.
. The one critic ism I have with the s how is its d isjo in tedness. There were toO m any
Images competing - ducks, whales. volcanoes. ca rs. a wig, helium bags. None of th e pieces

Practice and Principle:

A

of how necessary that metaphorical membrane is to
allow us respite from the turbulence of all the millions
of people who are almost completely oblivious of
their own lives. The parallels between Evergreen as a
forerunner of modern colleges and the temple; and
ancient places of learning becom e clearer. Though
it's harder now to maintain that bubble, because of
the more rigorous control exerted on us by roday's
bureaucracies and because of the need for the leamers
of the world to become involved in the proceedings
of our civilization, sti ll the bubble must remain in
some form to allow us a place to step bac k from
the hectic maelstrom and continue our pursuit of
discovery.
Our conneC[ion to state government is vi tal [0
Evergreen's survival, and it 's the narure of that
connection that determines Evergreen's future . The
Evergreen philosophy requires that this connection
be delicarely balanced between accommodating the
state's requirements of its schools and cultivating
the growth of that philosophy. Towards that end,
Evergreen was initially designed with rhe intent that
the student body would be intim ately involved tn the
administrative processes of the college. Steps were
taken ro ensure that the involvement of the student
community continued. As student involvement has
waned, the administration has had to step in to
assume the roles initially intended for students, and
in doing so, the motivations and direction of the
college have changed. This change in priorities from
the principles of a unique place of learning to the
ambitions of an administration of an in stitution
has endangered that delicate balance. In an effort
ro help restore it, I've decided to spend this quarter
uncovering rhe poJicies created ro help us maintain
Evergreen's promise. This column is one way I'll
comm unicate my findings to you.

Dear Editor:
read with interest the lerrer in your October II issue
titled " Diversity at Evergreen." The writer noted ·that
people complain about the absence of racial diversity
and fault the college administration. He asks, "DQ we really
need to manufacture a vety particular kind of diversity that
isn't occurring on its own?" The answer is a resounding
"Yes!" If we want an environment that naturally includes
racial diversi ty. as well as other types of diversity, we must
consciously work for change. We must create the conditions
tnat ··resulr"'iri::i 'ftilly, "liarurally diverse environment at The
Evergreen State College.
The latest research on diversity shows that to create a
naturally diverse environment. the organizational culture
needs to change. Changing the deep culture ofan organization
requires a long-term commirment, the active involvemen~ of
the top leaders, an understanding of the values ahd root be.lte~
that drive current practices and behaviors, and a holistic
approach that reaches into all facets of an organization.
As many colleges and universities throughout the U.S.
are coming to appreciate tOday, transforming their instirutions into places that attract and retain naturally diverse
students, staff, and faculty requires strategic planning and
implementation in all aspects of college/university life.
This includes academic dimensions (such as: curricula,
classroom dynamics, mentoring programs), campus life
(from exrracurricular student activities to campus residence
and commuter life), the diversity among the institution's
readership anlFfacohy and staff, and the institution's public
reputation on diversity.
The danger is that by not addressing diversity, the natural
occurtence of diversity will never happen.

of politics, a lot of economics
and how it deals with the
environment. I pretty much knew it was
going to be a lot about policies and how
it played with the environmental aspect of
everything, and how it's all interwoven and
intertwined."

The Evergreen Experiment
mong the founding principle. of Evergreen ~s
that of merging theory with practice. That s
high calling, one that asks a lot of us, and one
that often goes unheard. What it beckons us to do is at
once as simple as maintaining a consistency berween
words and deeds, and at the same time as difficult
as overcoming the limitations of habit and cu~tom.
The customs I'm talking about are our customary
ways of thinking about things. Often we habitually
oversimplify the reality surrounding and permeating
us to ease our weary minds. We are so caughr up III
the everyday struggles of our lives that it may seem
thar there is simply no time to authentically think
about anything, especially since it takes a lot of effort
to even attempt to encompass the whole of a very
simple thing's reality in our head. Vet there is no
mental activity that is more critical to establishing a
solid foundation in our minds, and it's by establishing
such a mental basis that we are able ro establish a
solid foundation in our actions. This so lidity is a
product of accountability; it's when we know wh~t
we're doing and why that we become self-aware. Ir s
this vety notion thar's at the heart of Evergreen's
philosophy: discover and live your discovery; embody
the process of discovery.
The irony is that the principle "merge principle
and practice" is seldom, if ever, put inro practice.
It asks so much, and the prevailing cult ural view
of ourselves as irrepara bly flawed and selfish beings
makes it so hard to rise ro this lofty goal that has been
laid upon us by being a part of this dynam ic sculpture
of people and experiences.
What a remarkable thing, a state-funded school
that aspires to attract and maintain a student body
that embodies the underlying purpose of sc hool s
everywhere. I'm reminded of how much it seems that
Evergreen exists in a bubble. Suddenly I'm aware

hi s column is a ll about
being up front and honesr
about our lo ca l political
scene. As I've said before, the
admonition to "think g lobal ly,
act locally" could be the s ubtitl e
of this co lumn .
And I don't see ir as "my "
co lumn. It i, an opinion pie ce
that ought to be pa rt of the CP)
on an ongoing basis. Th e me ss,'ge
is: local marrers matter.
H ere's the latest: SOme of you
are familiar with the agreement
berween Miller Brewing Co mpany
in Tumwater and the LOTT
sewage trearment plant on the
Olympia waterfrunr. Early rhis
year, after m ueh ptivate negotiation, LOTT agreed to pay Miller
mill io ns of dollars so rhat Miller
could do their own treatment of
brewing wasrewater. Miller was
to work with Ecology to find
reuse methods for their water.
The water was to be used to water
the golf cou rse and re -charge
the Water table. But Miller ha s
decided thar rhey want to dLlmp
their wastewarer in rhe Desc hu tes
River.
The discharge would be 2 4
hours a day, dumping thou,ands
of gallons a day ·of hot warer (80
degrees) with high levels of phosphoru s, into a waterway that averages low levels of ph.osp horus and
50-degree water. This influx will
encourage algae blooms, which
use up the oxygen and S[Jfve
t:,< orher life forms. Also, ir is
well known that sa lmon need
co ld water. $0 the proposal from
Miller looks, on the fac;e of it ,
unacceptable. Right' But Ecology
is a polirical agency, and if they
deny the permit, Miller could
take it as an opportuniry ro close
down the factory, thereby depriving the area of "250 livin g wage
jobs".
By the way, if Miller Brewing
Company decides to shut down,
they still own very imp orta n t
water rights, and a large piece of
prime real estare, and are entitled
ro some $1:3 million according to
the contract with LOTT. So they
can't lose. If they can intimidare
Ecology into giving them th e
permit, then they can dump into
Deschutes and save reuse costs.
And if they aren't permitted, they
still make money.
To contact somebod y who is
involved in making these decisions, email Tom Firzsimmons
at Ecology (tfit461@ecy.wa.gov)
or the Olympia City Council
(citycouncil@ci.olympia.wa.us).
And if you want to say something [0 me: n z~na@ home .co m.

with no option but to
denoLlnce Our species as a
malicious pracrical joke on the part of
Satan. T hi s is philosop h ica ll y tricky
for m e since I don't believe that Satan
exists, but I'm trying hard.
The cause of m y resurgent loathing
for humanity can be found in a severalweeks-old i~ s ue of Tile Olympial/. It

understand how it helps anyone for
th ese men to stand around wearing
signs and getting harassed by people
who consider bombing Afghanistan
a milit a rily effective and morally
appropriate action. I have even less
grasp of how it would help if one of
them spent a monrh in jail.
I think that we as a country are
rea ll y e njoying the sense of community we developed after the hijackings. We arc usually a very fragmented
nation , and proud of ir (excepr for
so me of u s who are not), so it 's sorr
of nice to feel genuinely united about
some thing. Regardless of their opinion , about why it happened and how
We should respond, Americans were
hurt and frighrened by whar happened
on the II , and srill are. That is a
tenuou~ connectio n . , bur it 's mo re
common ground than we us ually have.
Mavbe that 's why the peace protests
seem ro offend some people so much,
be ca u se they interfere with feeling
strong and united at a vulnerable
tllne. Maybe rhat 's why the scam
in Tennessee seems so ouuageous,
because it remind s us that the world
has not stopped to grieve and we are
not really any differenr rhan we were

/
peration Enduring Freedom was officially let loose on the people ofAfghanistan on October 7.
Th ev had
/
Bombs starred falling from U.S. warplanes and shooting out of U.S, warships on the Sabba~
on Ir c'o 1/ - a day of worship, repentance, prayer, and tevenge? The stated intention of the bombings was to suike at terrorist
Ie c ted
/, camps and anti-aircraft weaponry in order to provide a safer transition into a high-tech ground war. After all, the
Pen tagon righ t1y acknowledges that we can't track individual terrorim with indiscrete bombs. So why do the bombs keep
./ falling' Mass media won't ask this question when interviewing government officials. I wonder why.
What exactly are we bombing? I nfrastructure is null. The scarce terrorist facilities are few, and supposedly most of the targets
/ were annihilated in the first few hours and days of the war. Roaming terrorist milirias evade our bombs, as our warplanes reportedly
/ return to bd;es and aircraft carriers st ill raring their weapons. Apparently, the pilors can't find a target to hit.
What next? The Red Cross makes a nice easy target. Mosques are easily identifiable targets, as well. So are cities and villages, which
cou ld easily harbor terrorists. Maybe Osama bin Laden is hiding out in Kabu l, and if we drop enough bombs there the probability
of killing him IS increa.,ed. This would protecr our ground troops from unnecessary risk. But does Bush really think that the great
Evildoer is still in Afghanisran' Does Bush th ink '
The truth is, it's easier to drop bombs than food. Food co,t, less, but it doesn't provide the same financial rewards as bombs.
The mditar)'-industrial complex is jumping for joy as the rest of us huddle in fear. Money is being made, and lots of it. The lesson :
It pays to kill. It doesn't pay to save lives by providing food. Even the meager rat ion; we've dropped in Afghanistan's landmine
fields won't keep people from sta rving.
But that's not rhe goal of U.S. food drops. Th e goal is to promote support for this war at home by creating a fa<;ade of humanitarian
concern and Goodness of the Unired States. Bush exrended the friendly face of America by pleading for our ch ildren to send
one dollar to the children of Afghanistan by way of the Whire House. If everyone under 18 sent one dollar ro Bush. he'd have
over six million dollars' Didn't we already pay taxes this year? Those taxes should be appl ied to providing humanitarian aid
rather than building killing machines.
Each time a bomb falls on Afghanistan, we risk killing another inn ocent civi lian, just like the thousands who died in the Arrack
on America. The Pentagon calls the innocent vicrims of missed targets "collateral damage." According to that rhetoric, rhe victims .of
September II were mere collateral damage. Do we accept it here' Do we accept it there?
If we reject the deaths of innocent people as a necessaty price for jusrice, here, there, and everywhere, we must conclude that bombing
Afghanistan (and anywhere else) is morally unacceprable. Likewise, doing nothing in the face of imminent starvation is also intolerable.
Letting millions of people die a slow debilitating death is no Worse or berrer than outright murder. Food dropped from makeshift
humanitarian warplanes will not srap hunger any more than bombs will stop terrorists.
When will the bombing srop? It will stop when the Establishment has gained sarisfactory control over the region to secure its national
sec urity interests (p lenty of affordable oil). Ir will stop when citizens srop going along with what the media feeds us. It will stop when we
srap living in a fantasy world where everything is business as usual. It will stop when my staristics class starrs talking about something
besides abstract numbers and Starts focusing on the most press!ng issues - violence, inequality, control of information, and the many
-isms. Its nice to know that Evergreen is just like any other state-run institution. Let's stay in our bubble.

Water Polo· Class Sinking, New Team Emerging
The dive well is silent on Sunday
. afrernoons this fall. There are no
swimmers shooting balls into nets or
learning ball-handling skills.
Unfortunately, the water polo class
offered for the first time this fall by d,e
Athletics and Recreation department
at Evergreen, was canceled.
Water polo is a fun sport that is
a lot like soccer but is played in me
water. Some people even believe it
to be the mOSt physically enduring
SpOrt around.
Water polo dates back CO the 1900's
and is the oldest Olympic team sport.
According to the USA Water Polo
web-site, before the 1900's, peopJe
played a game that was a "form of
rugby football played in rivets and
lakes with the object to "carry" the
ball to the opponent's side." This
rough game later evolved into modern
water polo.
So why, if this is such a great SpOrt,
was it canceled this fall?
"There just wasn't enough enrollment," the associate ditector of
Athletics and Recreation, Janette
Parent, said. "Only two people signed
up to t.lke the cI"SS."
