n Wednesday, December 26, as Evergreen
students and stafT lingered in rhe wrinkle of
winter vacarion, Cra ig Ca rlso n, longtime
f:.lCulry and archetypal trickster, drowned in Costa
Rica.
Craig was swimming off the coast with his srepson when they were caught in a strong undercurrent,
unable [0 move. As they grew exhausred, Craig
sent his ste pson back [0 get help. By the time he
made it as hore for help, ir was [00 Iarc. Though
medics performed CPR for 45 minutes, roo much
time had elapsed.
"Many factors conspired to take his life," his son
Matt Carlson said.
Three weeks
have passed. At
Friday Harbor,
where
Craig
was living, a
ceremony was
held on a cold,
clear day in
early January.
President Les
Purce sang a
Guy
C lark
u n e
Evergreen processor Nalini
Nadkarni and
two sruden ts
spoke. Ma tt,
Craig's
son
says it 's cold in
Friday Harbor
this time of
year.
Cmig Caruon on vacation
Win r e r
I

quarter has begun at Evergeen. I n the days after
Craig's passing, faculty ha ve reflecced on his life.
They say hi s reaching s tyle was uniqu e and
liberating. One time he read poetry ro his clas>
wirh a lasso thar he occasionally flung ro emphasize
cerrain Ii nes or words . He had cowboy boots on
his fect .
Acco rding to Evergreen professor Susan Aurand,
Carlson wanred to be a "500 pound canary" flying
inro the brain s of his srudents. He wanted hi s
students [0 find something to be passionate about.
He would help them there. Of himself Craig said
'Tm a good talker, bur I prefer [0 lisren. "
Susan Aurand sa id Cra ig represented rhe mythical
and practical aspect of the tricksrer, o r coyote, in
Native American mythology. "The one who saves the
world and srumbles while he docs it ," she says. Craig
stirred things Lip. H e S3id that traditional aca demia
needed guerilla tactics ro undermine it.
Faculty Kate ' C rowe mentioned, "he realized a
word can have ,I lot in it. " He loved poetry. llis
home office was a lake o f book . . ,t nd he was a
fountain of European, C hinese, Ca ribbean , Middle
Easre rn , mythical and modern literature.
Cra ig was born December 13, 1942 in Sr. Charles,
Illinois. In 1961 he attended the College of William

0ne candle burned in a darkened hallway
of P-Dorm , in fronr of the place where
vergreen student Chris E. Doszkocs died
Monday morning;
" He was a mad cribbage player," says Jerusha
Rone, a junior who was a close friend of Doszkocs.
She sa id they had played cribbage last weekend
together, as she cracked a smile. "He was a pretty
easy guy ro get ro know," she said.
Roommate and friend Nathan Donley, a second
yea r student who lived with Dos1.kocs since Fall
quarter, describes his friend as a caring man who
junior Chris E. Doszkocs
"always raised people's spirits."
Chris was pretty q uiet if yo u didn't lU10w him, Donley said, but it didn't
take a lot to befriend him.
He loved listening to music and spent a lot of time on his computer downloading
MP3 music files. He also liked nature art, said friends and roommates.
Roommates of the late student said he cared a lot about his friends and would do
anything for them . "He was a really giving person," said Donley.
Doszkocs lived in Connecticut and came to Evergreen fwO years ago. He was
enrolled in the Health and Human Development program. Faculry member
Toska Olson, who led Doszkocs' seminar, remembered him as a "real sweetheart"
.. nd said he was very active in small group discllssions and seemed excited
about learning.
Rone and Donley borh said that concerned students have been stopping by
the dorm , wanting answers, and showing concern about the roommates and
friends of Doszkocs.
.
Donley says emphatically that support from campus stafT and faculty has been
good, and that everyone has been really nice. He added that roommates and
friends of Doszkocs
are "each dealing
with it our own
way."

Rone says that
Doszkocs had a girlfriend who lives on
th e East Coast, and
he spent a lo t of time
ta lki ng to her by
e-mail and phone.
Donley and Rone
said he spent time

AIDS

oy Efiii/YGalfiOun 7fLiiJay Blofigelt

In Catherine Kamau's home, close to 50 percent of the population is infected with
the HIV/AIDS virus. She has known women who died due to the complicarions
of illegal abortions. Catherine gained a personal perspective on female genital
mutilation as women in her cou ntry continue to be victimized without response
from her government. At the age of 2 1, Catherine is tighting for the rights of
women in her native land of Kenya. As a Planned Parenthood International
board member, Catherine fights for the sexual and reproductive rights of
women. Crit ics have accused today's generation of being complace nr as
we reap the rewards of the sexua l revolution - to Cathe rine, however,
the thought of a moment's rest, let alone complacency, is a distanr
future.
At 9:00 a.l11. January 21,2002, Cather ine Kamau of Nairobi.
Kenya will speak in Olympia at United Churches (11 th and
Capitol). Cathe rine will address the recently reinstated "Global
Gag Order," perhaps the most damning piece of legislat ion
signed by the Bush administration.
Catherine's presentation is parr of Planned Parenthood
of \Vestern W as hington's ongoing emp ha sis on
I nternational Family Planning. Additional guests
include a gro up of local youth activists speaking
. on experiences in Latin American reproductive
hea lth clinics, as well as the state of sexua li ty
educatio n in the Wa shington State public
school sys tem.
Resources for reprodu ctive right s
activists exist on the Evergrecn
campus. VOX - Voices for Planned
Parenthood - is a political activist
organization for young people
who are, like Catheri ne, fightin g for sexual rights. For

Governor Gary Locke released the VOIl'flIr' RI/th Elder. Clak
Washington State budget last week and is
asking state agencies to scale back their costs
in order to cope with the state's deficit. Locke's
budget isn't the final say - the legislature has to
approve it first - but Evergreen is planning how to
cope wit h 5 percent less if it does pass.
Three students, thre e s [aff, and three faculty
comprise the cabinet, along with the administrators who
deal with money issues. Members will ask each division
- such as Student Activities or Athletics - how they could
reduce their individual budgets. B:.sed on what each division
says, the cabinet will create a list of ways Evergreen could deal
with getting less money from the state . Puree will make the
final decision, co nsidering, but not rtecessarily comp lying with,
cabinet recommendations. The cabinet will hold public meetings
throughout the process to update Evergreen community members
about the cabin et's progress. According to Steve Trotter, the administrator
who manages Evergreen's budget, communi ty responses will not play a
large part in the final decision.
Trotter says that whenever Evergreen has had to deal with "anyth ing beyond
fine-tuning the budget. " the president has appointed students, faculty, and staff
to add new perspectives. "The faculty. for examp le, won't be asked to represent all
of the faculty. That's not what we're asking," Trotter said. The appo inted students.
staff, and faculty will be asked only to provide more viewpoints.

Isaiah Flowers Update

State Library Will Close Under Gov. Locke's Budget

by Andiew Cochran

by Whitney Kvasager

Isaiah Flowers I S the freshman
Evergreen st udent who was arrested
in December after running through
Housing without any clothes on and
attacking several people , including
a police officer, before shattering a
car windshield with his hea d. Flowers
was arrested and is charged with two
co unlS of assault in the third degree,
three co unts of assault in the fourth
d egree , a nd one count of m a lici o u s
mischief. The two third degree assa ults
are felony c h arges, and th e rest a re
gross mi sde me a n o rs .
These c h arges fall under th e jurisdiction of the Thu rsto n County
Prosecutors Office. The pre-trial hearing is set for Jan u ar y 24 . I f rh e case
goes to reial. the prel imin ary date is
the week of March 4 .
T here is also an in vesrigation unde rway by Eve rg ree n's g ri evance orficc r;
howe"er, any informJlio n "bout a
srudent's di sc ip lin ary reco rd is pro tected by the Federal Education Rights
a nd Pr otec tion Acr. G e nerally, in
cases involving violen ce, the s tud ent
is su spended and mU >l take ccrtJ in
acrion s before being al lowed to re enro ll in schoo l. It must be reiterated ,
thoug h , thar the sc hool w ill Ilot rele."e
any informatio n on po ." ible s.lIlctio ns
againsr Flowers.
Flowers was releJsed December 7
from T hu rston Cou n ty Jail on his OW Il
recog nI za nce.

Washington would be the only state in
the union without a state library under
Governor Gary Locke's latest budget proposal.
If legislators pass Locke's plan, the
Was hington State Library will be closed,
and its collection - including complete
state government documents from 1789 to
th e present - will be scattered throughout
the state.
Carlos Diaz is th e librarian who handles
Evergreen's collect ion of government documents - a third of the same papers in the
state library. If Locke's budget passes, Diaz
will have to shoulder the work ir creates .
Without a state library, legislative staffers
loo ki ng for gove rnment docume nts wi ll
turn to Eve rgreen's co ll ection, a nd to D iaz
- tying up rhe tim e he'd no rmall y spend
helping studenrs.
Last year, Din c hec ked ou t 1,990
government docu ment., to st ud ent;. Mo;t
were requests for su ch rhings as state
en vironm en tal >rudies a nd cong re"iull,, 1
hearing p"pcrs.
Governo r', office spokes m ,l n M ike
Gow r),low says closing the stare library i,
parr of closing governmen t offices Locke
"no longer cons iders to be core services."
Besides, (;owr)' low says, nowadays most
people find rh eir inflll'lllation o nlin e.
Hut on li nt.: guvcfn llll.:nt doc umen t
sources - rhom as.co lll, fo r example can only provide docliments frulll 1973.
Anyrh in g ea rlier t han that is only in hard
copy and has to be requ,,-,red fro m" libr:II-Y,

And if there's no central location for all
the documents, requests will take several
days.
"Not everything is on ~he Internet,
and right now, the Internet can be highly
unreliable with the government removing
databases. Things are thete one day and
gone the next," Diaz said. "You still need
to use the paper stuff."
The rest of the state library's collection
- hi stori c and current maps , regional
newspapers that go back to the 1700s , a,ld
state authors - will be dispersed among
state college libraries. But beca use of tight
shelf space, it's unlikely any will end up at
Evergreen unless administrators find money
to expand th e building.

In the Clock Tower.

The tunnels under Evergreen are sterile. T here are big co lored
conduits and travs with bundles of wires. The air is warm and dry,
the floors swept ~oncrere-clean.
Two photographers an d I a re ro uri n g the bowels a nd lofts of
Evetgreen on the pretex t of finding out why one face of the clock is
never right. We're to get pictures and reasons, push past excuses and
uncover hard facts . Actually, I just want to see what the tunnels look
like and get up on the roof of rhe tower.
Tunnels connect almosr all of the buildings of uppe r campus, from
the Seminar Building to the CAB, the Library to the CRe. One runs
all the way out to the Central Plant. All but the emerge ncy lights are
kept off so we must tread through hallways of d a rkness to get from
island of lighr to island of light. Th e mainrenance men haul supplies
underneath campus sidewalks on electri c golf cam. Th e base ments of
rhese buildings hold immense, mysterious machines: great generators
to run emerge ncy lighring and ex it signs, eno rmous air h:lI1dl ers, and
d ucts so big I co uld ride a horse in o ne.
Sam Pooley of Mech.tllical Services is an able and e nthus iastic

It', darker- and sca rier rlwn I thought it wou ld be. The inside lights
haven't worked since the earthquake. and rhe step' Jre slick with
conde nsa rion. Curiously, rhe air is jusr the opposite of the runnels,
cold .md wer, and I find myself sraring at the cemenr wall in front of
me to avoid look ing down. Slowly, we reach the top.
I had pictured a wooden room with great gears and levers Ihat ran
the clock . somerhing a long the lines of "The Hunchback of Notre
Dame." The realiry is much more banal. Thc room is a hare concrete
cube. Four <cpara te h"xe" one on each wall, run th e clock , and each
hox is le5' rhan a fo o t s'l ua re. In<tead of ponderous, hollow clicks,
J hear six-second lo ng insect noises. Insread of Quas im odo, rhere
is personable Sam, on a ladd cr with a fl a' hlight , trying to fix rhe
pctpccually in correct east f..ce .
The clock was builr in 197 1, S,"n explains, and parts are nearly
imp oss ibl e to find. The motor th .,t act u,d ly moves t he han ds (a
spectacularly unimpressi ve thing rhc size of beer can) is co mmon
enough, but in orde r to fi x the cluck Sa lll wo nld need to replace
a drive shafr Jnd a gear. For thi s sOllleo ne would have to d a ngle
off lhe top of the tower .llld hold the h,'nds on while someone else
did the repairs inside.
That would take a co nt ractor. S.lm says.
There are big washers on each f.ICe t~ keep the r"in and bugs out,
hut all four h,tve COtTle unglued and clang against the hands in windy
we,Hher. You'w prohably heard them. Basicallv, the clock is old , hard
to Ex, and desperately in need of an Ilpgrade.
Such an up grade is most likely nor com ing any rime suon. The
college is currently running a seismic ana lysis of buildings on ca mpus,
including the clock lOwer. The teport - due out mid 2002 - will offer
ways to refurbish older buildings to make them ea rthquake- res istant ,
but there .ltC no cur rent budger reque tS to fix the actua l mechanisms
rhat run th e clock. I n any case. such considerations seem fa r away from
the ba re and utilitarian clock room rhat I am now stand in g in ,
T here is a ladder in the center of the room that leads to a trapdoor.
We ascend, again one by one. to the roof. When I ge t ro rhe top,
Sam instructs me ro put Illy weight fo rwatd and toll, so th,1I if I lose
my halance I wo n't hIli hack into the clock room. 1 picture myself
bouncin g a cou ple of timcs a ud then plullg ing hcadfirst into the
inky abyss below.
I make it ro t he rnnf just fine. rhough, and the view mak es
eve rything wo rth it. I can see Rai n ier, t he Olympic Mountains ,
th e Sound , and the whol e of the Evergreen cam pu s. I (.In see rhe
layou t of Red Squa re, th e ci rcular mound of grass up by the bu s
'lOp, an d I can look down on t he neW design lab. From th is vantage
I'm surprised at how much ,ICrl','ge of the campus is gravel-covered
rooftops. Everywhere else , "vcrgrecn trees.
The roof itse lf is moss-covered and slim y. In one corncr there
is a patch of o ld dirt with young grJS5. Circl in g th e low wal l are

or

non-slip mats, bur when I get to the edge, I st ill get on one knee
and cling to the concrete barrier. I f I lea n way over, I can see th e
hands of the clock.
Sam knows exactly which way rh e rower will fall if there's an
ea rthquake. and he already has a contingency plan. He will go to the
no rthwes t corner of the roof, wait until the tower is at a forty-five
degree angle. and then sc ramble over the sid e, like in "Titanic."
Sam, in addition to being a member of Emergency Response Team
and Chairman of the Health and Safety Committee, is a "d isasterpreparedness nur. " While I'm grateful to have such a person guiding
us, I sort of wish
he would quit
ra lking about the
possibility of us
having ro ride
out a ten -sto ry
collapse.

would like ro go

starts climbing up the ladder a nyway. H e gets ro the top, despi te Sa m's
protest, bllt stops shorr of gO'ing through the trapd oo r. He cl imbs back
down am iably eno ugh, says goodbye, and disappears back down the
steps. Th e whole incide nt is a li ttle surreal.
Eventually we journey back down the stairs. Sam is quire fast - he
was in the Navy and the steps are just like those on a sh ip. H e makes
it the bottom lon g before J do. Whe n I fina ll y do reach the bottom,
Sam is waiting. We stand b)' the door to the tower while he smokes a
cigarette Jnd talks about the fire alarm sys tem on cam pus.
Th e roof of the library bui lding sudde nly seems very close to

About ten st udenc s came together as

Well, whi le three more MIPs occur

characteris ti cs. One is acco mpanied by a
charge of mal icious m ischief to restroom

poetic-sounding "uncon troll ed possess ion
of co ntrolled subsrance ."
Plus. there was anorher fire alarm ar

which are marked confldenr ial for safety
reasons.

Wednesday, Dec. 12
And in more CRC news, a suspicious

realize how valuable it is to be aro und students
who more often rhan not wam to be stud ying

classes have generally had a genuine interest
in the material - and thar has made a huge
difference in the qualiry of my educarion here .

It hasn't always been 100%, but the interest
level is far above what I have experien ced

having lO take specific cou rses to graduate, I've
gOlren no thing bur requirements here - within
programs. I've run into Ihi s obstacl e more
than I care for, and I imagine it can't be that
much different fIJI' orhers. I remember the
glory days of my firsl programs at Evergreen,
when I rhought, "Ah gee, this is great. It's all
about what I want [0 get from this. It's all
abour my learning and what interests me."

Three Cheers for
Marking Time, the
Paragon of an
Evergreen Program
of Study

k

EVergreen there is often a grear deal of debate
about whether or not the college's reaching
ethods are effective. Questions such as the
following are often heard on campus: Does the absence
of a grading system encourage students to slack off>
Is seminar an effective learning device or a waste of
lime' Do the many facets of study contained wirhin
each program really relate to each other, or are they
just a bunch of similar subjects tied together by some
misleading rationalization?

My freshman year I was asking all of these questions and
more. I was extremely frustrated with the methodology at
this institution and seriously considering transferring. I
decided to give ir another year. After all, I had only been in
one program and that is hardly a complete representation
o f Evergreen as a whole. I'm glad that I did.
The rest of this article is a sa lute to the professors and
the students o f M arking Time , which is the program that
I lOok nw sophomore yea r. Markin g Time is a perfect

Ha! When I did things the way I thought
would be most to my b,enefit - Sting! - not
the way it was supposed to be done. There's
a shitload of requirements here, and I've been

What ma kes it worse is th e 'lmbi guous,

wh ere you're at - and th at's whal happens
when you're required to take specific classes .
I suspect there's nothing more dilficult than
teaching them - the classes and the students.
Maybe I've taken the tough classes, or
maybe I'm one of those studems particularly
suited for Evergreen's style, which brings me
to my final point. I agree w ith jayne that
your run-of-the-mill public high school IS

not going to prepare students for Evergreen.
There will be some students from within that
setting who will thrive once here, particularly,
in my opinion, "AP-rypes" and those who
hang out in the smoking section. Regardless
of where prospective students are from, it
would seem prudent that they are thoroughly
versed on whar's to be ex pected of them
and wh at ro ex pect of the college. Peer
counseling , seminars, or what have you seem
like goo d ideas. I think Evergreen should
become more selective while simultaneously
implementing berrer outreach, perhaps working wirh coull s~lors at wesrern Washington
high schools determining who might prefer an
Evergreen education. At leasr let Washington
stUdents know the college exists: I didn't hear
about it until after high school, and when I
did, uninformed, canned opinions painted a
picture of a college far less serious and legit
than I've found it to be - far beneath the
college I've come to love, warts and all .... So:
Omnia Exrares! (and don't you forget it).

Educators, Response to the
Current Crisis

W1

EREAS as citizens, residents of the United
States, individ:lai faculty and staff of The
Evergreen State College, we are compelled by our
specific responsibilities as educators to help our students
have personal engagement with the "real world" and link
theory wi th practice;
WH EREAS we feel a duty to express our alarm at a
number of troubling direcrions (hat are developing in ' the
aftermath of the tragic arrack on the World Trade Centers in
New York Ciry on September II, 200 I ;
WHEREAS as educators responsible to our profession,
our colleagues, our students, our country, and people of the
planet now and in the future, we. the undersigned, offer
the following resolution:
I. We condemn the mass murder of thousands of people
on September 11, 200 I in New York, near Washington
D.C. and in Pennsylvania and express our profound grief
and condolences to families and friends of the victims
of the arrack.
2. We support the use of the World Court or other
international tribunals such as the International Criminal
Court to bring to justice all of those who were complicit
in the September 11 th violent attack. Any use of force
should be a multilateral approach that follows international
law and is only used to bring to trial those charged with
these crimes.
3. We urge that the U.S. break the cycle of violence ,
bringing the bombing to a conclusion immediltely,
ending actions rhat couse th.e death or innocent people in
Afghanistan, and bringing the war ro a halt. Further we
oppose any extension of this war by the U.S. into other
countries.
4. We urge that th e U .S. co llaboratt' with governments
rhroughout the world to address ,lnd overcome conditions
s uch as poverty, malnutrition , di sease, oppression, and

subjugation that make acts of terrorism more likely. We
also request that the U.S. donate, immediately, significant
resources to international relief agencies, in order to prevent
massive starvation in Afghanistan.
5. We commend the Evergreen State College administration for respecting and supporti ng the academic freedom
and civil liberties of the entire Evergreen community and
request that it continue to do so.
6. We urge all educational institutions to support strongly
the academic freedom of their faculry, staff and students
and to discuss publicly the issues surrounding the current
cnSIS,
7. We support a national campaign to ' lessen our
dependence on oil and to commit to a nationwide conversion
to renewable energy sources within ten years.
8. We support federal spending that will directly benefit
those who have lost jobs since September 11 th, such as
continued health insurance and unemployment insurance,
and request that the federal government provide revenues to
the States so that they do not cut social programs and public
education. We support spending for healrh care, energy
conversion, education, and mass transit, and we support tax
cuts for low-income people. We oppose the current federal
taX cuts that provide little stimulus to the economy and huge
tax breaks for corporations and the wealthy.
9. We urge the repeal of the USA PATRIOT ACT, the
so-called anti-terrorism act which is an attack on all of our
civil liberties and rights, particularly those of non-cirizens,
immigrants. and Muslims. The vague definition of terrorism
and irs major expansion of police power constitute a threat
to democracy. It has the porential to undermine the free
exchange of ideas, which lies at the heart of our mission
as an educational institution. We also strongly oppose the
establishment of military trihunals to try noncitizens whom
the government accuses of terrorism.

Jesus is a

Punk Rocker

B

efore I surt to wri te abuut any rclation jesus may have to, say, Iggy Pop, johnny Rotten , Joe
Strummer, or jello Biafra , I would first like to say tbat I don't kJl0w jesus per<onall)" I don't
know a lor about him , and furthermore think rh at it is impossible to be like him or h,lvc a
close relarionship with him , but still, like the poem says, jesus was so cool. He already h:ls :I lor of
friends and I don't really need to jump on the bJndwagon. Second , Jesus is lh e shit, was Ihe shir.
,Ind will always be the shit. There is no thild , just more turds frolll my brain.
For as much good as jesus did it's .1 wonder why he gelS criricizt:d , ostracized , praised , and
ba, hed so often. He has ,eve,"1 names: The Exalted One, Our Lord and Savior. The AII -Mighry,
C hrist, or That Humble Guy who has long hair, a trimmed beard, wears white, and performs
miracles on a daily basis. In all the descriptions of his life, most of which arc found in the
Bible, they fail to mention thar jesus was one of the first Punk Rockers. Now, I don't expect
everyone ro agree with me, bur if you think about it, the shoe fits. Think of the Romans as
big huge pigheaded fat corporate f:lScists and jesus as a skinny radical super kind activist who
doesn't smoke the ganja, but consumes gallon after gallon of wine. At leasr, my Jesus drinks
a lot, I don't know about your jesus.
He was a wandering marryr who believed in good things and hung out with prostirutes,
bums, criminals, and the working class slaves, How many more parallels with the ambiguous
punk philosophy do you need' I know that not all punks are like tbis, but hey, I've met plenry
of passive aggressive anti-conformists, I'm one of them. Sure, he had followers, a whole lot, but
punks idolized the infamous and talentless heroin addict Sid Vicious and look how long punk
stayed alive. As a side note, if Christianiry is still alive and well. then punk is f.1t from dead
--maybe a little worn out and tattered, but not dead.
True, Jesus was a lot of things: teacher, healer, traveler, listener, prophet, and a bastard. I mean
if you believe that there is a God, then he wasn't, Otherwise, jesus didn't have a father and is
therefore a bastard. The story is a litrle more fun if you think about it that way: not as pure,
but more hardcore. And, if you want a talk about hard luck, look no further than this human
deiry. Born a poor carpenter and carried little more than a sheet with him. I think that's
pretry simplistic and a sign of a true anti-consumerist spirit. He didn'r have any money
anyway and he never asked for any, so you can't even call him a beggar. Pretry awesome guy
If you ask me. I know you don't want to hear me draw on abOUt Jesus like this forever and
F..wl1 upon or Hatter him anymore thal1 any good cr:1ckpor televangelist, so I'll move on to
lhe point: if! evtn have one.
The argument against jesus b,ing a punk rocker may lie in his populariry, He is sort of a
rock star, a sell our, a zealot out to spread the good word, but his fault does not come from
himself. but us humans. We sell Jesus and salvation on a daily basis. Like punk, Jesus wa.. a good
idea that got bought out by a bunch of money-hungry prophet impersonators among many
other good brainwashers. Jr's not his fallit you see his face everywhere: on books. CDs, crosses,
t-shirrs. billboards, etc. I mean, maybe the f.Kt that he did get nailed ro a cross and bled for all of
humaniry's sins has something to do with ir, but we can't generalize. We must be open ro seeing
jesus in many different lights and characters. To some he never was, and to others he never will
be again. He saves, eludes, and confuses everyone. He could be watching, listening, or standing
right next to you. Coming and going without anyone's notice, desperate. lost and disappointed
in our failure to communicate, bond. and unite. Jesus is a lonely, dirry squatter born to die, bur
srill alive, breathing, and breaking YOUt nose in the pit.
Sorry Ramones, Sheena isn't,
Jesus is a Punk Rocker.

kay, we all need to have a serious talk
about airport security. I've taken rwo
major trips in the last tWo month s,
a nd I just want to say for the record that I
would rather be killed by terrorists on ce than
put up with rhis bullshir for the rest of my
life, In fact, if I do pur up with this bullshit
for the rest of my life and then I die of natural
causes, I'm going to be really upset. Perhaps
there' s some way my heirs could sue ... "I
just know that dear Grandma Gwen did not
go gladly into the hereafter, thinking of all
the time she had wasted in airporrs. I am
Iherefore asking for several billion dollars in
compensation for her mental anguish."
Let's ignore the indisputable fact that if we
made airports completely safe the terrorists

No More! Being Political

would j"'t start bombing shopping malls.
Let's ignore George Carlin's excellent point
about th e enriching qualitie s of having a
little dan ger in your life. Let us set aside a
di scussion of the inherent validity of airport
securiry and concentr~te 011 the way it is being
provided. Because m)' real problem with it
is how stupid and useless all the precautions
they're taking are. I'm tired of being asked
for my I D dozens of times in one day and
having my shoes taken away and x- rayed and
being parred down by some random moron
because I'm wearing sterling silver earrings
and they set off the metal detector. I know
clever seven-year-olds who could figure out
how to get through that kind of securiry.
I'm sure you've all heard the news stories

F

or all the rherori c abo u t Ever green be in g a n umbrella for radi cal politi cs and
opinions, the reality is quite different. Tru e , the re are activ e political group s
on campus , but their slaru, is artificiall y clevJted beca use th ey a re the mino rity
on campus. Sentimen t, expre"c d rec end y in the Ol ympi a n a re not unlike feclings
inside the school.
The facr is, politics are bClTer left to pol iri c i~n s than citizens. At least th.t 's how our
sociery seems to think. Being politi cal is :1 radi ca l aer , a de parrur~ from the norm. But
you'll be left alone as long as you remain alone. If )'ou starr organizing people or even m.ke
an unsolicited suggestion, you will be artacked . G et used to ir.
In December, a student sugges ted (via TESCcrier) that we have a communiry-wide vote
on a war resolution, such as the current facu lty resolution . This suggestion entails nothing
less than putting the democrati~ processes (flawed as they may be) into action on qmpus.
'Nothing really radical about that. Let's sec where this communiry stands. We can all benefit
from a better assessment of public sentiment than what mass media is telling us.
However, some people have reasons for not wanting us to take symbolic action against
war, One person suggested that the school's founders disapproved of student governance,
so we shouldn't vote. He equated signing a resolution to representative government.
This is not the same thing.
I don't believe the founders and recent students opposed student government because
they didn't want collective action. Rath'er, they opposed "representative" government in
favor of direct governance, the kind where students organize themselves around issues
they want and become political. In this way, we are more empowered on the Evergreen
campus then as citizens of this country. We don't rely on elected officials to make the
right decisions, We make the decisions!
Another person made an extensive verbal assault and threat on the enrire Evergreel1
community-attacking hippies, commies, peace-lovers, etc. I suggest counseling ·services
for this mdividual.
Most disturbingly, some people don't want Evergreen to make any official stand on
war, In fact, it may even be illegal to do so. Fine, this state institution won't condemn
war. No surprise here.
But does that prevent individuals from being political? No. Does it prevent us from
organizing'l resolution for anyone to sign? No. Does it stop a community from publicly
stating the fact that x number of people signed the resolution against war? No. It's not an
official endorsement ordered from a top bureaucracy. It's a communiry stand, something
everyone has a right to participate in. It is direct democracy by the populace.
Therefore, the petition is on. Whether or not you like or think it's in bad taste is a
matter of opinion you are entitled to. So why should yuu sign or not sign a wat resolution?
If we believe in democracy, then it is our responsibility as members of this community to
represent ourselves. Now, that's a radical idea!
Furthermore, Noam Chomsky argues that it is the responsibility of the intellectual
(which in this country is you) to lise your privilege (access to information, education,
freedom of speech) to tell the truth from the lies . If you believe that the facts of war
differ from the propaganda, say so!
When you know something is wrong and choose the path of inaction, you are
complicit, There is no non-political option. If we remain silent, then the world knows
our position. Only we deny it.

about the unplugged metal detector at SeaTac and the guy who made it onto the plane
with a bomb in his shoe and all the other
embarrassments the industry has heaped upon
irself in the past four months. BUI my po;m
is that even if the securiry precautions they're
taking worked perfectly, we still wOllldn 't be
safe. I mean, am I the only one who realizes
that if any sixteen year old in Wisconsin can
get a fake 10, a member of an international
terrorist conspiracy probably can lOO ' And

I could talk a clerk in one of those magazine candy-and-disposable-camera-sto res into
keeping my bag behind their counter for a
few minutes while I went looking for the
son I don't have. I would look at them with
innocent and harried eyes and say ''I'm afraid
that if I just leave it sitting around they' ll
take it away and blow it up or something,
and it's so heavy - I'd hate to have to carry it
around." Actually, I probably wOllldn' t even
bother with that. I'd just put my bag full of
C-4 on a baggage carousel and leave it there.
Sure, they'd pick it up eventually, but I could
be well out of the airport and away from the
area before they had a chance. Boom. The

only really hard part would be getting the
detonators, and I'm sure there's someone out
there in cyberspace who could help me with
that. Yes, I have spent a lot of time thinking
about this. I had plenry of opportuniry to do
so wh ile I was waiting in line to be patted
down .
But by far the most upsettingly pointless
thing I encountered was the obviously bored
eighteen -year-old guys in fatigues standing
around with semiautomatic weapons over
their sholliders. One of my personal rules for
a happy life is that it's good to avoid bored
tecn~gers wi rh wcapons , and besides that,
what's the point? When was the last time you
heard about someone committing an act of
violence in an airport rather than on a plane?
And what are the odds th.t having somebody
standing around with a really powerful gun
would help the situation, rather than get a
few more innocent civilians killed? I think
having uniformed soldiers in the airport is
more likely to suggest that kind of act to
someone than prevent it.
If rhe airlines and airports are really that
concerned about safery, my suggestioI" would
be that they start by paying their employees
enough to reduce the rate of turnover and buy
a little loyalry. just a suggestion.
