In East Timor they braved paramilitary
groups to vote, In Kenya they deal with
factions armed by the ruling party who
shut down polling stations, In South Africa
they wait sometimes for almost a day for
a chance to cast a ballot. In the U,S. most
people sit at home eating Funyuns, Current
forecasts for the 2002 election show that
only 13% of the 48 million potential
voters aged 18-24 will show up at the
polls on November 5th, I don't like getting
shown up by countries that are about
as big as Thurston County and have a
democratic tradition younger than some of
my roommate's underwear.

Due to unforeseen circumstances. like
the evil flu bug. (wait. am I allowed to call
the flu evil?) there won't be a blotter this
week. But as the Tick would·say. "May Evil

hands. That's all the happy goodness that I
have to impart on you this week. my dear

High Times continued from cover
the High Tirnes reporter who wrote the
section about Evergreen.
"There's smart stoners and stupid stoners. and we wanted to find the best possible
schools for the smart stoner. the person
looking to get the best possible education."
wrote Steve -Haga r,-the-cui ror~I-n -G-h ief
for High Times. in response to an e-mail
.
from the CPJ.
Simunek and Hagar both stated that
the focus of the article was on finding
the number one counter-culture college.
not the one with thl! most students that
smoke pot.
Cannabis is the sacrament of the counter-culture wrote Hagar. But. "it doesn't
mean that you have to use [it] to be in
the culture."
However. critics also questioned the
magazine's approach to the research for the
article. Criteria used to rank the schools
listed are fuzzy at best.
"We spent several weeks mulling over the
possibilities and formulating a responsible
approach." wrote Haga r in the iss ue's
editorial. Determ.inatiol1s were based on.
among other things. each school's "academic
excellence. freedom to shape individualized
courses, availability of superior classes and
teache rs in subjects of interest to counterculture. and a low level of persecution
on counter-culture people and the use of
cannabis. "
It's doubtful whether they ac hieved those
ends.
"I appreciated their recognition of the
app roach to teaching and learning. and they
had good thin gs to say about a lot of aspects
of the sc hooL They certainly captllred a
little bit about of Evergreen's envi ronmental

focus." said Costantino. "But then they
went on to ask students things like 'well.
how many of your peers smoke pot? ' and
'what's enforcement like? ' Tpe a rticle
seemed to revert back to that as a major
theme."
- ITave-Olson. who showea- SimuneR
around during his week-long stay last year.
said that they walked around campus dorms
and downtown asking students how many
people 'they thought smoked cannabis.'
"I asked a few kids I'd met to estimate
what percentage of Evergreen students
smoked pot. and most answered somewhere
in the 80 per cent range. "
"There is just no real evidence that
supports that figure. " said Kilmer.
And the research wasn't data-driven ,
according to Costantino.
The sample was a little biased. admitted
Olson.
"We're JUSt going by word of mouth. "
said Simunek. "But we never said it was a
scientific choice. It·s not the kind of thing
where you are going to get people to vote in
some kind of scientific way. " .
Methodology aside. there is something
noteworthy about mentioning Evergreen on
its list. For whatever it's worth. stereotypes
come from somewhere. and the school has
achieved some sort of reputation for going
against the grain. "We do have a hea lthy
te ndency to question ing the status quo ."
said Costantino.
"It was a good choice no matte r what.
I mean . can yo u think of a better one?"
asked Olson.

ACE is on the case.
ACE Telecommunications has laun~hed a web-based program designed to increase
access to basic phone service in student households. Based out of Wenatchee. the
non-profit program seeks to educate consumers on the mysteries of phone company
chaos. Focused in Wash ington State. ACE is specifically reaching out to elderly. low
income. and Spanish speaking residents.
ACE Telecommunications is funded by a grant from the Seattle Foundation. The
funds for this are a portion of a class ac tion settlement of 1995 litigation in which
the Washington State Attorney General contended that US West had overcharged
consumers for local phone service. Joining the General were the Washington Utilities
and Transportation commission. and AARP.
As part of the settlement. $2 million was awarded for Washington State Consumer
education and outreach programs that provide consumers with information on telecommunications related issues.
Terry Bergeson. State Superintendent of Public Instruction says. "... I'm excited for

Out With The Old Growth
In With The New Building

!12~;;:::g;g~~7-'~:tl~rfi~~~~16~k~t(f.

Seminar II . the ongoing 160.000 square
ft. 5-building construction site on campus.
is the reason behind the felling of over 180
of Evergreens trees and. no doubt, hundreds
of gallons in burned diesel.
The project. it would seem. is not in
the spitting image ofEvergreen's notoriously
eeo-friendly convictions.
Yet Seminar II is designed to be a shining example of a growing trend in "green"
- architecture. buildings built to nelp sustain
the environment.
The research on "green" architecture 'is
still in its beginning stages. but sustainable
living is catching on.
"There is more that we can do to
close the gap between production and
consumption." Governor Gary Locke said
last month.
Seminar II is currently the biggest
example of what more can be done.
With a production cost of$44 million. it
will be the first of 15 state-funded developments of its kind to go up in Washington.
All are being built according to a rating
system created by LEED. (Leadership
in Energy and Environmental Design)
a national non-profit organization that
advocates for sustainable site development.
"Basically it's nice to be able to say that
Evergreen believes in environmental values.
and that we've shown that it can be done
at no more of a cost." said Rob Knapp. an
Evergreen faculty who helped during the
planning stages of the project.
Planners have designed Seminar II
to earn a gold star from LEED. The
organization's rating system is based on
. the number and quality of "green features"
built into the design of a building. As of
August. Seminar II had 34 such features.
and secured 36 points. By its end. the
development is expected to come close to
receiving a gold rating. which LEED awards
to buildings that achieve 39-51 points.
"We're a little short of gold right now.

but we're working hard to get it. It's quite
difficult to get to t~ e high end of gold."
sa id Kn app . "Nonetheless. in terms of
eco-friendly buildings going up in the
U.S .• Seminar II is g~ing to be well above
average."
City officials are realizing that saving
resources could be profitable.
Locke recently signed an "executive
order calling for sustainable environmental
practices-ey all-state-agenGies,"-wrote-John
Dodge. a reporter from Th~ Olympian.
Architecturally. green features exemplify
those practices.
Forty per cent of Seminar lI's roofing
will don 4 inches of soil and a mop of
grass. The idea is to reduce. or rather.
not to add to the amount of storm water
runoff that eventually makes its way to
salmon environments. which "bashes up
the habitat." said Knapp.
In addition to a number of other features.
the buildings will be outfitted. with structural
traits that significantly add to the amount
of natural light and ventilation (hat will
run through them.
uThe idea is to design and build buildings that reduce energy costs. improve
workplace air quality. reduce water and
sewage costs and reduce the use of nonrenewable resources to make and operate
the building." wrote Dodge.
The initial price of green architecture
is a little bit higher said Marziah KiehanSanford. the Capitol budget Assistant to the
Governor. But "some of the green features
proposed are shown to be cost saving down
the line."
"There's always an interest in government
to save money and this is just one of several
options." she said.
"Evergreen should be really proud of
itself. It really is standing by its philosophy
here." said Michelle George. the college's
Director of Facilities.

Just like you asked for. (Sorry we can't help you out with the roommate situation.)

The Coo-per Point Journal:

Fo~ example,~Chappelle t~'lk~d '~b~ut ;h~
time he spent in Aspen, Colorado, which
he called the whitest place in America,
after he had mentioned how white Seattle
was. Chappelle said that he was walking
down Aspen once, and Big Foot had come
down from the mountains, and he was
walking on the opposite street. Chappelle
sa id that the white folks in Aspen were
appalled, and ins~ead of screaming_abouJ
BIgFoot, -the gooa folk s there warned Big
Foot about the approaching Chappelle.
C happel le made some Ch inese jokes
during his set. He talked about his
encounter with a Korean shop owner
and how after he had mistakenly identified the shopkeeper as C hinese, the
old Korean man indignantly asked him ,
"What makes you think I'm Chinese?"
The joke was interesting and funny
because I'm half Chinese and half Korean,
but I'm nor sure if there was a point
a nd relevancy to those jokes besides cheap
laughs.
Inevitably, during Chappelle's set, people
in the audience yelled out "weed" several
times. A testimony to Chappelle's comedic
flexibility, he was able to go off on a tangent with weed jokes.
Finally, Chappelle closed out his set
with vagina jokes. It was obvious that the
audience was mostly male, and the vagina
jokes worked well with the crowd. Hell,
even my girlfriend was unable to refrain
from laughing out loud.
Aside from a couple of lowbrow scatological jokes, Chappelle's set was pretty
much flawle ss. Throughout the whole set,
I was waiting for Chappelle to do his
amazingly funny joke about the baby who
sells crack, but I guess comedians don 't
recycle their jokes.
It is uncertain when Chappelle will
return to Seattle. When he does, you need
to go a nd check him out. Chappelle is perhaps one of th e few bla!=k co medians who
are relevant and funny without sacrificing
any integri ty. Like all great comedians,
C hap pelle will make you laugh until your
cheekbones start to hurt.
Did I mention he is fucking funn y?

foods, nutritional supplements and health
clubs, yet America is the fattest country in
the world.
It was obvious that Black was lashing
out against the stupidity that he felt was
going on in the world with a visceral and
eviscerating sense of comedic dexterity,
and the audience loved him for it.
One of Black's best jokes, and my
personal favorite,_was ab~lJt !h~di<:lIIQus _
stateof airport security. Black asserted
that airport sec urity, despite of everything
th at has happened, is sti ll ineffectual. For
example, he pointed out that during one
of his many flights a nd airport visits, he
saw a mom with twins in a strolle r who
was searched by ai rport security. Black
was practically fuming as he sa id th at the
mom had all the time, despite having to
care for two newborns, to make a technologically savvy bomb out of the stroller.
Scathing? Yes. Hilarious ? Fuck yeah .
When Chappelle finally took the stage,
rhe crowd was ready, and it lavished him
with a roaring applause and ovation. In
fact, I was one of the first people to stand
up.
There is no doubt that Chappelle is a
highly talented and agile comedian . The
man knows funny. Comedians tell jokes,
and if the jokes are funny, then that is
all there is to the job. However, Chappelle
brings to the table something else. Chappelle's style is mellow and smooth, yet he
is articulate and piercing when it counts.
Hearing Chappelle tell jokes is like listening to your friends, except he is funnier
than anybody's friends. One feels at ease
with Chappelle. Chappelle's jokes are relevant, and his delivery never misses a beat.
Watching C happelle perform was comparable to hearing a finely tun ed acoustic
guitar belt out mariac hi tunes.
Two comedic themes that one will
find in Chappelle's works are racism and
how white cops treat black people. Racism
is no laughing matter, but Chappelle is
expertly satirica l, and he lI ses his jokes as
all ave llue of exposing th e late nt racism
that sti ll see ps through the fabric of society.

Here we are, kicking around

turn out to be a very long academic year.

in fact those clouds are getting heavy

the news-editor position for this good rag.

Hailing from Los Angeles, Phantom
Planet already has its claim to fame.
Jason Schwartzman, the drummer, is
not only the nephew of Francis Ford
Coppola, but also is a f1edgfing actor
who received much kudos for his role in
Rushmore. Alex Gree~wald, the singer,
busted his acting chops in the indie hit,

"Always on my mind," a catchy,
melodious rock ballad about a girl,
opened the set. As soon as the band
started the music, two overzealous teenage girls rushed to the stage and started
their own mosh pit, and their display of
devotion was contrasted by middle-aged
Costello fans that rerJlained in their
seats, perhaps a bit annoyed.

Aside from all the acting, Phantom
Planet knows how to weave alluring
melodies and good old fashion rock and
roll into a sound that can be compared
to that of Weezer or They Might be
Giants.

rec-ord, proves that the band has more
than just a couple 'of catchy hooks. The

A depth of talent and a willingness to play together was readily apparent last Friday as the Eve rgreen men's
soccer team defeated visiting Western
Baptist 4-3, in a game highlighted by
dramatic goals.
Starti ng a week ago, with a
record-se rring 13-0 win over Walla
Walla, Evergreen Men's soccer ha s put
together three impress ive wins. The
second in the trio was Sunda y afternoon
in Ca ldwel l, Idaho against the defending Cascade Conference champions
Albertson College.
In this contest no si ngle player
that dominated, eve n though Western
Baptist junior Taurai Daka, last year's
conference MVP, was the leading scorer
and had all three of th e Warriors goals.
"(Dave) Rack shut down last
year's MVP," sa id Evergreen co-head
coaches Andy Hill and Tom Boatright.
"His last two goals were scraps."
As has been their forte this
season, the Geoducks attacked quickly,
putting Western Baptist on their heads
from the opening kick .
Returning forward Chris Pugh
demonstrated his leaping ability early
and redirected a Jason Gjertsen corner
kick into Western Baptist goal at the 2 nd
minute mark to give Evergreen an early
1-0 lead.

Everything You Wanted-to Know AbDut .

- A nip to the ~l-ocal -muhipl"exes
will reveal a simple truth about the
current state of domestic film: they
don't make 'em like they used to. I
was lucky enough .to receive a breath
of fresh air last Friday, when I saw
perhaps the greatest film of all time,
David Lean's "Lawrence of Arabia."
This 1962 epic is getting a one-week
at the Seattle Cinerama in a
brand new 70mm print (for those
not "in the know," 70mm represents
the highest quality picture and sound
format in cinema). Anyone lucky
enough to see a 70 print of this film
will be part of an experience they
will never forget .
"Lawrence of Arabia" is a fictionalized account of T.E. Lawrence's
legendary exploits during World War
r. The film opens with his death
and tells the remainder of the film in
flashback. The remaining three-anda-half-hours break down into five
major parts: Lawrence's seconding
to the Arab bureau, his ' conquest
of Aqaba, the rape at Deraa, the
massacre at Tafas, and the collapsing

downtown Olympia las t week to ra ise

dry weather greeted the attendees, leading one to quip, "The weather gods are
smilin g upon the homos tonight. Either
that, o r there's an NRA co nve ntion in
town." With a Full-blown film festival ,
outdoor bazaa r, all -girl skateboa rdin g
competition and clinic, and a pletho ra of
workshops on every co nceivab le polm eal
issue or m edium o f self-expressio n,
Homo-A-Gogo was clearly more th an a
me re music festival.
Artists and activi sts came from all over "

performers and anendees.
However, the line between artist and
spectator was dubious from the outset
and only got blurrier ove r the weekend.
Full audience pa rticipation in co untless
sets, open mics, and o ther con stant
opportunities to get invol ved imbued a
sense of activism in everyone present.
The dress code le a n e d toward s the
flamboyant at time s, with srrap-on
dildos being popular accessories.
Howeve r, the s pirit of Homo-AGogo was less "See and be see n" than
"Be se"en and do." The a:n efn o"Grr -film
screenings packed th e Ca pitol Theater
for showings such as Bru ce LaBruce's
new film , "Hu stler White, " which was
followed by a talk from the filmmaker
himself. Perhaps the most affecting film
of the festival was "Handmade," Seth
Kirby and Adrian Paz's documentary
of their everyday snuggles maki ng the
(medical) transition to manhood.
While the subject and its arrendant
difficulties were no laughing marrer,
Kirby and Paz disarmed the audience

with humor, allowing them to empathize with problems they have never
ex peri enced .
Despite th e multitude o f events of
all nature, the focus of H o mo-A-Gogo
was definitely the music. Electroclash
was well-re-prese n tcd, with bands such
as M adam e Morte, H alf-Sea s Over,
and Tracy and the Plastics all offe ri ng
their uniqu e t ak es on th e n asce nt

ofthe ~''Arab Nation" after-the siegeof Damascus.
"Lawrence" boasts one of the best
film crews ' ever assembled. Freddie
Young's breathtaking cinematography, Maurice Jarre's brilliant score
(it's been three days and I'm still
humming it), Robert Bolt's poetic
screenplay, John Box's beautiful
production design and Anne Coates'
subtle editing, are not only all in
top form, but work hand in hand
flawlessly. Naturally, this would be
wasted if it weren't for the cast. One
would never guess this was Peter
O'Toole's first substantial role as
Lawrence. He gives a performance
filled with more depth and intelligence than mOst seasoned actors
can. The rest of the cast is equally
perfect, including Omar Sherif as
Ali, Lawrence's counterpoint; Alec
Guinness and Amhony Quinn as
the Arab leaders; and Jack Hawkins,
Claude Rains, and Anthony Quayle
as Lawrence's British superiors.
Of course, the film works predominantly because the character

of lawrence Ilimself is interesting
enough to watch for four hours.
I could write on and on about all
of the fascinating qualities of his
character-his love/hate of bloodshed,
his rise to deity status, the debate
between ordinary and extraordinary
being. The facet that is most spellbinding, however, is his identity
crisis. We learn at Lawrence's funeral
that no one close to him during
those years really knew him. He is
imroduced as a discontent British
officer. Later, after rescuing a man
from the desert, he is given Arab
robes and an Arab name. Arab
customs and people have fascinated
him for years, but here, given an Arab
identity, he begins to question who
he really is. Is he Arab or British? If
he is Arab, it is clear that he has no
tribe or belonging, but it is hinted
that the same is true if he is British
("I am different," he claims when
asked ifhe is like all British men). It
is not long after this that oe refuses
to give up his Arab clothing when he
returns to the British headquarters,

risking ostracism from hi's peer s.
Here we also learn the British are
using him to take over Arabia. What's
more is that he seems to go along
with it. Is he trying to buy time to
organize the Arabs against the British,
or is he truly British under the Arab
garb? Throughout the remainder
of the film, he battles more heavily
with this issue, going back and forth
to further extremes each time. This
fascinating dilemma leaves us with
no easy answers. Can one truly
be a part of two very separate and
contradictory cultures? Can one
simply switch to the other culture,
if he must decide between the two?
Can one really claim he is part of
a culture while allowing another
culture to attempt to corrupt it?
If you are given a chance to see this
film in a theatre, by all means take
it. If you see it on video, you really
aren't even watching the same movie.
I don't foresee any epics of this scope
and intelligence being made again;
there sure has never been a film like
"Lawrence of Arabia" before.

rheir support for the festival. Although
many Evergreen grads were involved
in organizing Homo-A-Gogo, "Support
from the student body was somewhat
lacklu ster. Des pite these setbacks, the
feeling outside the Capirol Theater
was genera-ll-y- optimis·ric, wifh votes

" It's the heart of the homo Northwest"

hosting nationally renowned alternative culture festivals, Olympia can add
