Geoducks End
Their Best
Season Ever
OVKevifrLNkfrfr~e
______________
T
hc G~oducks have no reason to drag
their tails between their ,hells.
The men's basketball team didn't win the
national championship in Point Lookour,
Missouri, but they have had an unbelievable
run wirhour a single regular scason loss
at home. Th ey drew bigger crowds and
cheers than any Evergreen ream ever has,
and in the end wenr 17- 1 in the Cascade
Con teren ce.
Ranked sixth in the nation going into the
32-tealll nation al [UlIrI1amenr last week, the
Ceodu cks were able to take a deci sive 7 1-64
f/ r> t round win over Ottawa University Ollt
of Kansas before losing to Philadelphia's
Holy Family College, 78-74, in the Sweet
16 round.
The basketball program, only in its fifrh
yeJr here, has come an unbelievabl y long
way in a shorr amOllnr of time.
"This team was different d13n any orher
I've been o n in my life jllst because there
was so much talent, " says Abel Koeltzow,
who,. played on rhe tea~ for the last four
years.
Talented indeed.
But they were also confident instead
of co·cky. Small , but quick. And mos t
importantly, everybody had a role thi s
season and was comfortable with it.
"Coach says this all the time, ' You don't
have to do anything to help liS, but don't do
anything ro hun us. '" says Koeltzow. "That
was kind of my role. Ju st fit into the offense
Jnd work hard on defense. "
Coach John Barbee says his message to
his players has always been about sacrifice
and "cause over self
I)
For Quincy Wilder, the team's strongest
and most experienced player, the expectation was to put up big numbers and make
it to the foul line in the process. He ended
up as a first team all-American with 22.4
points a game, along with 5.9 rebounds
each time our.
"He's always out to try and better himself
and our team. He hasn't settled all year.
He could've walked into the gym and said
'These are my skills,' but he didn't. He's
gotten even better, " says assistant coach
Bill Benton.
Andre Stewart was asked to drain outside
jump shots and he earned conference player
of the year honors and second team allAmerican status doing just that.
"He has perfect form," says Coach
Barbee. "He's textbook in terms of mechanics and shooting. It's jllst pretty."
Greg Johnson left the wing, where he
had played all of last yea r, to take control
of the offense and keep everyone moving
as a point guard.
"One day at practice Coach sa id , 'Greg,
you got point.' And I've been there ever
si nce," Johnson says.

Small Student Showing at Budget Talks
bjLCorey pein
T
he student turnout at th is week '.< open
budget forum accounted for less than
one half of one percenr of Evergreen's
student body.
So far, it was the largest publ ic involvement in the college's budget-cutting pro·
cess.
About 150 Greeners, including 20
students, garhered in Lecture Hall 1 to
hear and comment on the college's current
budget-cutting plan on Monday. Those
budget cuts will affect eve ry student, mosr
likely through a combination of increased
tuition and reduced services.
The size of Evergreen 's cur will be
decided by the Legislature, but how
Evergreen takes that loss is up to col lege
adm inistrarors. Right now administrators
expecr to lose up to $2 million out of the
college's $42 million budget.
Heads of each college division, from the
police to the Iibrary, were asked to figure
out how to trim their budget up to five
percent. At the meeting, the President and
vice presidents of the college presented thei r
plans to a sometimes-skeptical audience.
Students questioned cuts to specific
services and suggested other ways to save
money. Among students' concerns were
cuts to rhe wood shops, advising programs,
the graduate programs, and anything that
would increase the number of students in
a single class.
When recognized, one stude nt climbed
over chairs and tOok a flailing leap on top
of a rai ling.
"Let's Cllt where there is fat," Evan
Hastings said, referring to admini strative
salaries.
C ollege staff echoed his point, though
not so dramat ically.
Louise Fulton has worked in the cashier's
office for 16 years. She's leaving the college,
but under the current budget plan, her
position would stay empty, That would
leave just one person at the college to
distribute all the financial aid payments to
students and paychecks to employees.
"W hy is it always the front line that
makes sacrifices for what we do?" Fulton
asked ar the meeting.
President Les Puree responded: "I
can on ly promise you that we'll be as
compassionate as we can . .. . You're right,
we cannot go on like this."
Pu rce and the vice presidents did not to
respond to comments about administrat ive
salaries.
PUrce did promise to devote all of his
efforts in the next year to securing more
state funding for higher education . Purce
is working with representatives from other
state colleges to find a guaranteed source of
revenue for higher education.
Right now, Washington state does not
raise money specifically for higher educarion. That leaves colleges with the leftovers
of rhe state budget - so when the state is
short on funds, colleges take a hit.
And Evergreen gets hit especially hard .
Most of the college's money (60 percent)
comes from the state; the resr comes from
tuition. Larger colleges make more of their
money from other sources - like research
grants, private donations, and endowments
- so they can more easily cope wirh a loss
of state funds .
Some students at the meeting suggested
cuts that planners did not propose, like
spendi ng less money on pol ice ca rS and
athletics, and stressed the importance of
keeping certain programs and services from
losing funding.
Drew Gaede said that the swim team,
now set to be cut, was one of the reasons
she came to Evergreen.
"Eliminating the swim team would be
taking away a fantastic opportunity for any
student on this campus," she said.
Others thought the ath letic division
shou ld take more cuts to protect other
programs. The cuts to athletics under the
cur rent plan include the removal of the
swim team and reductio ns ro the other
teams' travel and equipment budgets.
Donna Griffin is a graduate student and
a member of the college's budget committee. She wondered if cuts to the library
- which might mean fewer staff, books,
a nd period ical subscriptions - cou ld
be offset wirh more cuts to the College
Recreation Center. Another student added
thar students can find other ways to "recre_
ate" that aren't funded by the state.
Bur it might not be that easy to save
money. Wynne Washburn heads the S&A
board, a group of students who decide how
to spend student fee money. She said that
when athletics has taken cuts in the past,
administrators made up for the loss by
dipping into student fees, which usually

"A lot of I imes, if people have issues,
they'll bring them to me," McGee says.
"I might be working with an o rnithology
program one day, the next day I might be
working with a lite rature group, and the
next day with grad students in education. "
McGee works in a team of three that
provides general support to a ll the academic programs and stude nts on ca mpus.
According to Pietra s, who is M cGee's
boss, the thre e employees arc a lre ady
overwo rked.
Even though the college m ay save the
$68,000 it costs to pay McGee by cutting
his jo b , th e loss to the center will be
subs tantial by all accounts.
If McGee's job is cut, academic programs
(t here are around 200 now) could expect
slow response time for requests of technology support or training - such as if they
want help on a web page or email account
or with power-point or otber software.
Losing McGee will also create mu ch
more stress for faculty, loss of technology
for students, loss of leadership and repair
support, and less training for the greenvested compute r assistants in the computer
bb. All in ail, the cut means more frustrated
Hudents.
Accordi ng to Pi e tras, th e proposa l to
cut IdcGee', job was created after a lot of
careful study. Pietras and Anna Kircher,
the center's direc tor, tried to d etermin e
who they cou ld c ut that would provide
th e least impac t on programs. services and
stu dents.
McGee says that if his job is c ut he
worries that six months down the road
his supe rvisors might realize t h at it was
a mistake ro ler him go, that rhere was
another way.
Pietras wanted to be clear the proposal
to e limin ate McGee's job was not made
for personal reasons or as an eva luation of
his perform ance. In fac t, McGee said he
hasn't had an eva luati on from Pietras in
over five years.
Pietras says he did not wanl lO speak
in detail about Kircher 's decision to c ut
McGee instead of using othcr m cans to
save mon ey. Unfortunately, Kircher is out
of the office until next week.
Both Pietras and Ann Daley, the vicc
president of finance and administration,
said th ey would be willing to take a cut in
th eir salaries if rhe cuts were delivered ro all
administration sa laries eq ually.
"Th at's a conversation we've all been
having," says Daley. ''I'm willing to do
my parr. "
So far. though, no admini st rator has
publicly offe red to take any salary cuts.
" 1f there was a co ll ege-widc endeavo r
to close the co llege without pay I would
gladly participate," Pietra, adds.

cuts. The proposal on the table is to Cut $ 10,000 from
the student consultants' budget. This will req llire les,
tim e to train the co nsultants and also gre,n ly reduce
hours of operation for th e computer ce nter. It would
open an hou r later in the mornin g, and close four
hours early, making weekday hours from 7 a.m. to 10
p.m. Three of the ma jor requirements students have of
Academic Co mputing are support . more co mputers,
and extended hours. This budget proposa l severely
limits two of those three . Additionally, every student
must fill out an evaluation form at the end of each
quarter. These evaluation forms are di spensed by
Academic Computing and Network Services.
A more serious issue is the cutting of John McGee's
position. John McGee serves many roles in Academic
Co mputing: he manages the student co nsu ltants,
provides support to facu lty and program s (which
includes teaching workshops, providing documentation
and classroom schedu ling), implements the mission of
Academic Computing, as well as takes care of many
of the smaller tasks that keep Academic Computing
operating smoothly. The removal of such a keystone
will bring so me very unwelcome reperc ussion s.
John has many years of co mprehensive experience
in Academic Com puring as well as at The Evergreen
State College as a whole. This expe rience manifests
itself in many ways:

Speaking the
reV1eWS
Benjamin Speed has worked on numerous plays and
films at Evergreen, but he says they have all led up to this
one - his senior thesis - a deeply personal account ofhis
mother and her horrifjing past
The Microphones
5v
r Chns Mullij{v
..
An Evergreen studen t walked through hell
to write. direct. and prodme ,1 play ca lled
"W.llking Wounded," which open, ill Evergreen's
Experimental Theater today.
Benjamin Speed starred hi , ,elliur thesis
project last summer Jttempting 10 under,tand
how his :llOther's horrifying past affect' her, and
inevitably him. today.
For the last ten years Speed's mother has
been hospitalized for her mental illness. which
Speed perceives as largely born of her past, where
she was abused and had ro abort a chi ld after
her father raped her.
"A lot of my inspira tion as an artist comes
from some sorr of want or need for revenge for
[what has happened to) my mother," he says.
"Artists function out of fear or anger, but I
function as an artist for redemption. "
Speed is trying to kill a lot of demons ,
including the ones embedded in him self. I'm
doing it to "confront my own potential as a male
abuser," he says, "as a potential vessel for [my
family's) rage." He says his family has harbored
cycles of abuse and silence for many generations.
He is the first to break the link.
Speed says it has been rerrifying confronting
his mother's life in such an open way. But he
says he needs to break "the legacy of silence" that
has plagued his family and American culture
about issues of abuse.
Speed says the play is for three different kinds
of people at Evergreen: rhe ones who have been
abused, the ones who have abused others, and
finally, the ones who think rhe problem of abuse
does not exist.
The play is his mother's srory, a collection of
her memories rhat she and Speed ralked about
last summer.
Three actresses carry out all rhe dialogue.
They represent three moods-Sorrow, Madness
and Joy-that Speed says are the boiled-down
essences of his mother's mental illness. Where
her mind swings.
The three actresses spit poetry, howl with
word clumps, tell stories and fling their bodies
against music you will easily find crammed in
yo ur ears the next morning. But what the audience sees is merely the ski n-layer of so phisticated
themes swimming beneath the actresses' lines.
The actresses of"W"lking Wounded " have been

"1 don't expect [the actr",ses] ro en"psulate
my mother," Speed notes. "1 ca ll only a,k them to
draw on their own expe rience and how they relate
ro the issue,. [ simply have ro let go. "
Speed says the whole process has been collaborative. He says has tried ro build up trust with
the ac tresses so they cou ld clue him in on what
it is like to be a woman, so he can better convey
his mother's story.
Because the project has been a collaborative
effort, some of the lines he placed in the play were
rejected by some of the actresses. He says they
were concerned about how the audience would be
affected by rhe graph ic language.
When he's on the set or in production meetings,
Speed is calm and lets his castmates say what they
need to say.
Although Speed created the original vision of
the play, the actresses, musicians and designers
all reacted differently to his vision. Musician
Nathan Levine says in making the music for the
Sorrow character he started exploring minor keys,
tweaking the scale into blue notes. Something that
doesn't have much resolution and that is slow. He
also tried not to reference the script too much. He
just went with the themes in its shell.
Anastasia Eden, rhe movement direcror, said
the emotionally swelling script charged her up to
generate rich material.

OUI a Mike Tyson puppet complete with an
Impersonating vOIce.
Tyson spoke a little about his recent "bloody"
ftghts and then was sudde nly overcome by
gu itarist Odcrus Urungas, who took his blade
of death and decapitated Tyson.
Blood shot everywhere and the crowd roared
and endured all the blood spraying out, of his
now headless body.
Nonetheless, GWAR kepl going. They played
on in full force and decided to bring some other
characters of iIllcrest onto rhe stage: puppets of
George Bush and Osallla bin Laden.
Bush just gave a short speech about stuff and
left , while bin Laden was nonetheless decapitated
and disemboweled in front of a cheering crowd.
Once again blood went everywhere. Quite
amusing, yet very, very bloody.
Beefcake lhe Mighty, Gwar's bassist. decided
10 bring out his girlfriend Bloody Mary. This
blow-up-doll-csque puppet was bleeding all
over lhe place. Jizmuk da Gusha, who plays
drums for GWAR, was playing very well with
the stage acts but remained behind the drums .
He played great with the band and even shOt
blood from the drum kit. More and more blood
followed .
The show went by so quickly it was just too
entertaining to even follow. Towards the end
of the show the band brought up the pope.
I'm sure you all can guess by now what they
might have done to him . Oderus spoke of
the problems with organized religion and the
church, and in doing this presented a solution
to them-he beheaded the pope.
More blood and gore followed. By this time,
everything was a bloody mess, and the show
continued with three more songs.
The show ended afrer GWAR played an
encore and the crowd was pleased. I walked
out of that show covered in red, gasping about
monsters, and feeling great abour being terrorized by one of rhe most gruesome stage
shows [ have ever wirnesse~. [ musr say that
if you are not easily offended or grossed out

The Bisek Heart Procession
Pete Yorn 2001
Musicforthemorningafter - Columbia Records
The incredible American pop machine has spit out an artist that sounds like Toad the
Wet Sprocket with a little more booze in him. Pete Yom's album land contains country bass
riffs, distortion. steady beats (yes - the ones you can dance to) and wandering syncopated
guitar. If you get on the bus and ride through the town of this album, there are interesting
vocal melodies that hang like leaves on the trees. But unfortunately, the trees are dead.
The songs barely have life. Pete has found one riff on rhe first song and he exhausrs us
with variations of it. Boring.
Pete Yorn is not as good as everyone says his album is. In the last week I have read ~ome
album ratings in both the Stranger and the Tablet, and there Yom is bringing home some
high medals at the fair. Are these rarings accurate?
His brooding voice kisses just one mood: sort of despairing, sort of comforting (fur .people
who are softened by the sound of throat polyps and cigarette-tattooed Dylanesque growl). It
does not kiss our neck. It does not make us shiver or laugh.
There are moments where there are no clouds and the only sound is a jabbering acoustic
guitar and voice. These moments are great, because when Yom comes back in with his bass
and militia rhe songs are moving. It is this difference - the sparseness hitting the heaviness,
which is exhilarating throughout the album. Sometimes he sounds like Beck, which may be
nice for some of you. For the rest, do not buy this album.
Three - Touch and Go Records
Have you heard of these guys yet? Formed
in 1997 our of San Diego with two members
of Three Mi le Pilot. This is their third album
- about a year old. In the first song the bass
and guitar wrap their arms around each
other and make out in the speaker. There is
some definite spider-web feel to them. The
rest of the album follows. Sad songs with
a Spain/Grandaddy/Radiahead/Tom Waits
feel. The fourth song's the best (10 songs
rotal) , but they are all good. Mostly spacious
and immersed with piano notes. You'll get
your money's worth if you are looking for
impassioned chords and rich or pained lyrics.
This is GREAT driving music. Their other
two albums are just as realized, #2 the most
highly acclaimed.

pudding of 16 artists on 16
tracks, is like pulling a wet rag

drools. Overall, the album is
perfect to wakc up to, because
each song opens in a yawnrefreshing, moist and intoxicating. And pretty. Maybe
instead it is a good album
to get drunk with. Katie '
Open heimer, an M.D. at
KAOS radio, said you could
fall asleep to Zen and th~ Art
of Chilling-in a good way,
with your dreams navigated
byir.
Today, [ still ask myself, "Was I awake for
this movie or was it all a dream?"
Try to imagine a world where you sit
in a darkened theater berween a woman
breast-feeding a baby and a wheelchairbound man who has the unfortunate nervous
habit of constantly adjusting the angle of
his mechanized-wheeled legs. The Capital
Theater was the venue for Mulholland Drive.
David Lynch, Missoula, Montana narive,
furrhers his unique film aesthetic in a stunningly surreal ftlm that plays with the dualiry
of reality and the dream state without resorting to endless monologues
pointing out the interplay between
waking and non-waking life.
With every up and down
click of the electric adjustment to
rhe man's wheelchair, Mulholland
Drivls celluloid awkwardness draws
closer to a dramatic turnaround
that pulls the viewer into a world
of duality and a discordant sense
of reality.
Like every Lynch film , with the
noted exception of Th~ Straight
Story, there is a strong interplay
between conscious life and dream
life. David Lynch takes the viewer
into the realm of the subconscious
where reality is blurred with the
surreal. MIlLholland Drive seamlessly blends
the modern myth of Tinseltown's iconic
stature at the top of the perfect world with the
corruption, murder and intrigue that plague
the modern world .
What seems to be the father of the suckling
baby keeps pacing up and down the far left
row, and I can't seem to keep away the image
that I may be watching this film in Twin
Peaks. If only the log lady was here to watch
it with me! Within the tapestry of Mulholland
Drive several keys are presented, ways to
unlock passageways between Lynch's critique
on modern Hollywood and the dream factory
offolklore. The key to unlocking the secrets of
this film, however, may lie at the midpoint of
the film. Shortly after "Rita" opens a Pandora's
box to the harsh real world, we see Diane
Selwyn falling face first into a pillow, letting
the viewer work out the interplay between
the dream world (prior to this poin r) and the
real world that follows.
Within the world of Tinseltown you see
Diane's dream life, a world where her life
turned out just the way Hollywood dreams
can. Naming herself Betty, she steps off a
plane full of high hopes of success in a city
where dreams come true. [n the dream world,
everything comes easily wirhout consequence:
a beauriful apartment, a big Hollywood break,
an exotic love interest, and of course, a life
only Film Noir can provide.
Like every good Hollywood noir fable,
beneath the surface lurks an underbelly of
dirty dealings, corruption and murder. Betty's
(Diane's) love interest, the famous actress
Chamilla Rhodes, escap" execution rhrough
the luck of a horrific car crash. Now an
amnesiac, the helpless Rhodes wanders ro
the "can't do no wrong" Betty, who has the
propensity to nor only acr but also to look
the cooper pOint jou"rnal
like Nancy Drew. Through a series of cheap
detecrive tricks and luck outs, the two fall
onto the key to their mystery while skirting
the pitfalls of the murder and corruption that
seem to follow them.
By opening Pandora's box, we are let into
Diane's nightmare, an act that stopped the
man adjusting his wheelchair, stopped the
lady breast feeding her child, and made the
entire Capital Theater audience gasp. [t is the
realiry of Diane's life in Hollywood. where she
lives in a shabby apartment with unfriendly
neighbors. Her big break never comes, and
she can only get work in movies Chamilla
can get for her. [n rhis world, the woman
she loves, Chamilla Rhodes, is marrying rhe
director, sending Diane on a road to insanity.
Her jealous rage compels Diane to pay a hit
man to murder Cham ilia Rhodes.
Lynch seems ro have finally mastered
the dualisti c nature of reality and dreams he
only h inted at in Lost Highway, just as I have
finally mastered not dwelling on the Twill
PMks nature of rhe way I have viewed thi s
film . Lynch has made a career out of bizarre
trademarks-fire and flames, red curtains,
that strange-looking dwarf-and the Capital
Theater has made a career out of the phrase,
"only at the Olympia Film Society.... " Afrer
twO decades in the business, M"UJollalld Dr;'Jr
serves as a piece that only adds to the meanlllg
of one of the newest words in the popular

An Evergreen student wa lked through hell
to write, direct, and produce .1 play called
"W.,lking Wounded," which open; in Evergreen's
Experimental Thedter today.
Benjamin Speed started hi s se nior thesis
project last summer attempting to understand
how his :nother's horri~' in g past affects her, and
inevitably him, today.
For the last ten years Speed·.< morher has
been hospitalized for her mental illness, which
Speed perceives as la rgely born olher paSl , where
she was abused and had to abon a child after
her father raped her.
"A lot of my inspiration as an artist comes
from so me sort of want or need for revenge for
[what has happened toJ my mother," he says.
"Artists function out of fear or anger, but I
fu nction as an artist for redemption."
Speed is trying to kill a lot of demons,
including the ones embedded in him sel f. I'm
doing it to "confront my own potential a.< a male
abuser," he says, "as a potentia l vessel for [my
family's1 rage." He says his family has harbored
cycles of ab use and sil ence for many generations.
He is the first to break the link.
Speed says ir has been terrifYing con fronting
his mother's li fe in such an open way. But he
says he needs to break "th e legacy of silence" that
has plag ued his family and American cu lrure
about issues of abuse.
Speed says the play is for three different kinds
of people at Evergreen: rhe ones who have been
abused, the oneS who have abused others, and
finally, the ones who think the problem of abuse
does not exist.
T he play is his mother's story, a collection of
her memories rhat she an d Speed talked abo ut
last summer.
T h ree actresses carry out all the dialogue.
T hey represent rhree moods- Sorrow, Madness
and Joy-that Speed says are the boiled-down

The actresses of "Wa lki ng Wounded" have been
training in Buwh dan cing, Viewpoints, latera l
thinking, tableus (human st ruct u res), Suz uki
method , and free-write journal ing to learn to react
to the fec i of the moment.
" I don't expect [the actressesJ to encapsula te
my mother," Speed notes. " I can only ask them to
draw on their ow n experience and how they relate
ro the issues. I simp ly have to let go ."
Speed says the who le process has bee n co llaborative. He says has tried to build up trust w ith
the actresses so they could clue him in on whar
it is like to be a woman , so he ca n better convey
his mother's Story.
Because the project has been a co ll abora tive

Bush just gave a short speech about stuff and
left, while bin Laden was nonetheless decap itated
and disemboweled in front of a cheering crowd.
Ona aga in blood we nt everywhere . Quite
amusing, yet very, very bloody.
Beefcake the Mighty, Gwar's bassist, decided
ro bring OUt his gi rlfriend Bloody Mary. This
blow-up-doll-esque puppet was bleeding all
over the place . Jizmuk da Gus ha, who plays
drums for GWAR, was playing very well with
the stage acts but rema in ed behind the drums.
He played great with the band and eve n shot
blood from the drum kit. More and more blood
followed.
The show went by so quickly it was just too
entertaining to even follow. Towards the end
of the show the band brought up the pope.
I'm sure you all ca n guess by now what they
might have done to him . Oderus spoke of
the problems with organized religion and the
church, and in doing this presented a solution
to them-he beheaded the pope.
More blood and gore followed. By this time,
eve rything was a bloody mess, and the show
continued with three more songs.
The show ended after GWAR p layed an
encore and the crowd was pleased. I walked
out of that show covered in red, gasping about
monsters, and feeling great about being terrorized by one of the most gruesome stage
shows I have ever witnessed. I must say that
if you are not easily offended or grossed o ut
by blood and gore for novelty's sake, this band
will rock you.

Have you heard of these guys yet ? Formed
in 1997 out of San Diego with two members
of Three Mile Pilot. This is their third album
- about a year old. In the first song the bass
and guitar wrap their arms around each
other and make out in the speaker. There is
some definite spider-web feel to them. The
rest of the album follows. Sad songs with
a Spain/Grandaddy/Radiohead/Tom Waits
feel. The fourth song's the best (10 songs
total), but they are all good. Mostly spacious
and immersed with piano notes. You'll get
your money's worth if you are looking for
impassioned chords and rich or pained lyrics.
This is GREAT driving music. Their other
two albums are just as realized, #2 the most
highly acclaimed.

t'Mulholland Drive
<
Gwar: Metal
Three - Touch and Go Records
Today, I sti ll ask myself, "Was I awake fo r
this movie or was it all a dream? "
Try to imagine a world wh ere you s it
in a darkened theater between a woman
breast-feeding a baby and a wheelchairbound man who has the unfortunate nervous
habit of constantly adjusting the an gle of
hi s mechanized-wheeled legs . The Ca pital
Theater was the venue for Mulhoffand Drive.
David Lynch , Missoula, Montana native,
furthers his unique film aesthetic in a stunningly surreal film [hat plays with the duality
of reality and the dream state withOUt resorting to endless monologues
pointing out the interplay between
waking and non-waking life.
W ith every up and down
click of the electric adjustment to
the man's wheelcha ir, Mulholland
Drive's celluloid awkwardness draws
closer to a dramatic turnaround
that pulls the viewer into a world
of dualiry and a discordant sense
of reality.
Like every Lynch film, with the
noted exception of The Straight
Story, there is a strong interplay
between conscious life and dream
life. David Lynch takes the viewer
into the realm of the subconscious
where realiry is blurred with [he
surreal . Mulholland Drive seamlessly blends
the modern myth of Tinseltown's iconic
stature at the tOP of the perfect world with the
corruption, murder and intrigue that plague
the modern world.
What seems to be the father of the suckling
baby keeps pacing up and down the far left
row, and I can't seem to keep away the image
that I may be watching this film in Twin
Peaks. If only the log lady wils here to watch
it with me! Within the tapestry of Mulholland
Drive seveta l keys a re presented, ways to
unlock passageways between Lynch's critique
on modern H o llywood and the dteam factory
offolklore. The key to unlocking the secrets of
this film , however, may lie at the midpoint of
the film. Shortly after "Rita" ope ns a Pandora's
box to th e harsh real world, we see Diane
Selwyn fallin g face first into a pillow, letting
the viewer work o ur th e interplay between
the dream world (p ri or to this point) and the
real world that follows.
Within the world of Ti nsel town you see
Di an e's dream life, a world where her life
turned o ut just the way Hollywood dreams
can. Naming he rself Betty, she steps off a
plane full of high hopes of success in a ciry
where dreams come true. In th e dream world,
everything comes easily without co nsequen ce:
a beauti ful apartment, a big Hollywood brea k,
an exotic love interest, and of course, a life
only Film Nair can provide.
Like every good Hollywood nair fabl e,
beneath the surface lurks an underbelly of
dirty dealings, corruption and murder. Betry's
(Diane's) love imeresr, the famous actress
Chamilla Rhodes, esca pes execution through
the luck of a horrific car c ras h. Now an
amnesiac, rhe helpless Rhodes wanders to
the "ca n't do no wrong" Betty, who has the
propensiry to not o nly act but also to look
the cooper point journal
I
like Nancy Drew. Through a series of cheap
detective tricks and luck outs, the two fall
onto the key to their mystery while skirting
the pitfalls of the murder and corruption that
see m to follow them.
By opening Pandora's box, we are let into
Diane's nightmare, an act that stopped the
man adjusting his wheelchair, stopped the
lady breast feeding her child , and made the
entire Capital Theater audience gasp. Ir is the
reality of Diane's life in Hollywood, where she
lives in a shabby apartment with unfriendly
neighbors. Her big break never comes, and
she can only get work in movies C hamilla
can get for her. In thi s world, the woman
she loves, C ham ili a Rhodes, is marrying the
director, 'sending Diane on a road to insa ni ry.
Her jealous rage compels Diane to pay a hit
man to murder C hamilla Rhodes.
Lyn ch seems to have finally mastered
the dualistic nature of reali ry and dream s he
only hinted at in Lost Highway. just as I have
finally mastered not dwelling on the Twin
Peaks nature of the way I have viewed thi s
film. Lynch has made a career out of bizarre
trademarks-fire and flam es, red currains,
that strange-looking dwarf-and th e Capital
Theater has made a career out of the phrase ,
"only at the Olympia Film Society.... " After
two decades in the business, Mulholland Drive
serves as a piece that only adds to the meaning
of one of the newest words in the popular
lexicon, "Lynch ian . "

Two Teams Make jt to National Championships
o you want ro sail down th" trail s this spri ng break ? Do you dream of single-track
switchbacks and endless m iles of sun -drenched vistas' If you wal1l su n , get the hell OUt
of Was hingron. But there arc rons of trails if you don't mind the m uo, ,ome big 01" evergreens,
cruy-ass logging roads and clear cuts; yo u're halfWay ou t the door. Even around O lympia there's lots
[0 ride, b ut first let's have a b rief discussion about co nsp icuo us consu mprion.
You don't need a new bike to gu ofT-road. Whatever you have w ill work fine . In fact, it·11 be
eve n more impressive if you ride ofT-road on a si ngle-speed beach -c ruiser wit h a coaster brake
or ride that '70s Gitane road raci ng bike-yo u're su re to get ,o me looks. You see, I've bought
my sha re of new bicycle parts. I-leek, I even pu rchased a new bicycle rece nrl y. Boy, w"' t h:1f a
m istake. I bough t a fa ncy new mountain bike that sirs in my bedroom like a cripp led grandmo lh er.
I had bo ught in to t he idea of mountain biking, not in to the act , and that 's ('xac tl y why I'm
trving to warn yo u. Go ride, don't buy.
The re are tons of trails in a nd around Olympia. O bvio usly if YO II've ever been 10 the Evergreen
woods beach trail you know that one. Another is w irh in a co uple mil es of camp us. rhe rock q uarry,
which has a n assortment of steep rocky fire- roads and so m e trai ls. Off o f Delphi about two m il es,
you· 1I see a q uarry sign. Or you can fo llow Kaise r Rd. to irs " nd ·t il you getlO the power li nes. The
power lines mark the beginning of a steep ascent towards the rock ql!arry.
The Capital Forest has several hu nd red miles of trails, man y of w hi ch are mult i-use, fclt e ither
horses and hikers. or d irt bikes and ATVs. Agai n , if you fo ll ow Delphi p"' t Black Lake Blve/.,
rum right on Waddle C reek Rd. If yo u stay straight o n Waddl e Creek you 'll sta rt ,ee ill ); llI a ny
motorcycle trails. T here's a decent long trai l on you r right-han d sidl· ar the moto rbike tunnel rh .1t
goes under the road. The Marga rer McKi n ney campground has so me reall y nice rrail s Iha t .lre
probably pretty wet this rime of year, bu t it is Was hi ngto n . To gl'[ to rhe c.t m pground yo u'II need
to turn left before Waddle Creek dead-e nds. There are a coup le of cam pgrounds, but Marga ret
McKi nney has seve ral different 8-m il e loops. One last trai l to check o ur is the Rock Ca nd y
Mo untain Trail that starts our about 12 miles outside of O lympia, west on Rr. 8/12. When you
see a 76 gas station, keep d ri ving for abour two miles. Keep yo ur eyes o pen on yo ur left fOr .1
gravel road and a sign that says Rock Ca ndy Trai l. The re are all sorts o f trai ls; rhe furrhe r you
go up the mounta in , the more there a re.
T here are books o n mountain bik ing in Washi ngto n , so go to yo u r local library and check
one out for free . Remember, resist the remptation to b uy new stuff. Bring warer. some rool.,
an d kn owledge of how to fix minor bicycle problems- or risk walkin g. Before you do anyr hi ng
potentially dangerous, it 's good to have a he lm et th ar firs yo u r he.1d s nugl y and prop ('r1y.
Gloves are nice too.

Team Evergreen Veterans and Rookies
Ranked Tops in Northwest Region
tiY' Kev/Q Barrett
The 2001 final regional ratings for the [nrernational Martial Arts Council (IMAC)
are in, and Team Evergreen Kung Fu veterans and rookies are ranked in the top spots
in their respective divisions.
Owen O'Keefe, captain of the; Bak Shaolin Eagle Claw Kung Fu team, is ranked 2nd
in the Northwest in the blackbelt point sparring division. Evergreen alumnus Jessie Smith
is curren dy ranked number one in blackbelt traditional forms, open forms, and women's
point sparri ng. Smirh's ran kings are not surprising after her stellar performances in recenr
competitions. Sam Haskin, Evergreen alumus and founding member of Evergreen Kung
Fu , is ranked 4th in blackbelt traditional forms and 3rd in open forms .
Jessie Harrer and Shasta Smith, two Evergreen 2001 graduates, received high blackbelt
ran kings also, despite only competing for half the year. Harrer, last year's captain, is ranked
3rd in blackbelt traditional forms, 3rd in open forms, and 2nd in traditional weapons
forms. Shasta Smith is tied for 3rd place with Harrer and Haskin in the blackbelt open
forms division and 2nd in continuous sparring. These high rankings for last year's senior
blackbelrs, who have not competed regionally since June, shows that the impact of
Team Eve rgreen's 2000 run [0 the National B1ackbelt League's (NBL) Super Grands
World C hampionship is sti ll being felt in the Northwest. That year, after competing ar
tournaments up and down the west coast, six Tea m Evergreen representarives ventured
to Savannah, Georgia, to compete against world champions. Every member of the Team
Evergreen squad ca me back to Olympia with a top ten fini sh in at least one division,
some of them just barely missin g first place.
In the interm ediate divisions ir Was more of the same. Kevin Barrett is ranked 4 th in
interm ediate point sparring and .3 rd in co ntinuous sparring. Benjamin Green has a 2nd
place ranking in intermediate open fo rms and 4th place in co ntinuou s sparrin g.
The up and com in g junior team led by Robyn Hollnes, Mark Germano, and Andrew
Bresnik have alread y made their mark in the No rth west. In the beginner open forms
d ivision Bak Shaolin Eagle C law Kung Fu has swe pt the competition . Morgan Thornberry,
Rob Brewer, Robyn H olmes, and An imito Pollina are ra nked first through fourth,
respect ively. Thornberry is also ranked first in beginner traditional forms, followed by
H o lm es and Pollina in seco nd and th ird. In women's beginner point sparring Thornberry
is ranked seco nd wit h Holmes in a close third. In the men·s beginner point spar ring
divi sion freshm an Mark Germ ano is ra nked second, and Rob Brewer from Sak ShJo li n
Eagle Claw Purdue is ranked fo urth.
M ost of these co mpetito rs have less than o ne year of expe rience . Their hard wo rk and
dedication to training has earned t hem the hi gbest regional rankin gs and a reputation
a mong oppo nents as the nexr generatio n of Team Evergreen national co mp etitors.
T h ese hi gb regiona l ra nkings for team m ~mbers lead to in vitations ro world
champi o nship tournaments. ome competitors , such as Jess ie Sm ith and Owen O'Keef;;,
a re co ntinuin g to build off rh eir NBL wo rl d ch amp io nship appea ran ces and serring

co m petitors are showin g their tenaciry fo ll owing the example se t by last year·s squad ,Ind
rhi s yea r's ca ptains. If this trend in the regional rankings continues, then Team Evergrec'n
wi ll have a strong presence at the IMAC wo rld champ io nshi p to u rnament for rh e next fel\'
years as rhe beginne rs claw thei r way up rh e ranks of th e higher divisio ns.

H - - SouPJds Like A Hip Fil",: Dow"town 81 Long before he became the darling
of New York's 1980s art scene, I 9-year-old graffiti artist Jean-M ichel Basquiat starred
in a film as a young artist wandering the hipster havens of the lower East side ,
encollntering arrisrs, musicians, and other assorted weirdos. The film was never
released, and most footage was lost until it was rediscovered nearly twenty years later
and finally finished as Downtown 8/. The result is a cinematic time capsule, with
a cast of notable scene- mak ers that captures the vibrant cross-pollination of NY's
llnd erground art, no-wave, and bllrgeoning hip hop scenes. The cast includes Eszter
Balint, Fab Five freddie, John Lurie, and Debbie Harry. There's alsu a soundtrack
with Kid Creole & the Co~Onllts, The Plastics and Tuxedomoon. 9· p.m. at the
Capi tol Theater, 206 E. 5''' Ave. , downtown Olympia. Cost: $3.50 members, $6
