Dual Discrimination

I

I

I won't stress rhe ex-military part any more than to say that no two soldiers have had [h e same experience a nd it would be to your loss to
write off and generalize such a significant eve nt in their life.
I thought about what I want you to know about me and other "people of color. " I thought that you might orren wonder why it is that we
feel discriminated against. It isn't as simple as so meo ne actually saying somethin g negative to me. It comes down to things like reading
about Indians in an American His tory textbook. Every time the American cavalry fought the Indians and won , it was a battle (i.e.
The Battle of the Little Bighorn), but if th e Indian s fought th e cavalry and won it was a massacre (i.e. The Indians massacred General
Cusrer and all of his m e n). It comes down to th e hard fact that th e fede ~al governm e nt is still encroaching and seizing Indian Tribal
lands. It comes down to when I stood at a corner of campu s with several other "people of color," several students asked us where we
could get drugs . I wonder what went through th e ir heads wh e n th ey looked over at us ? What about u s made those stud ents think
that we used or knew someone who did?

Sometimes it boils down to something as simple as this: I was in a cl ass during orientation week and the professor was talking about
the roOt of words and how language evolves. One of the students said jokingly, "That w o rd sounds like a drunken Indian word." It wasn't
anything s uper offensive but it still annoyed m e and helped m e to understand that there is always work to be done in this area. It's the
little things like these that we need to think more abo ut.

On this day in history in 1982, Shirley Allen was arrested for poisoning her husband,
Lloyd Allen , with anti-freeze. Shirley's daughter turned her in to the authorities afi.er
witnessing her mother spike L1oyd's drinks with it. Lloyd was Shirley's sixth husband
and the s~cond to die from mysterious causes; the other four had divorced her. Lloyd,
who had complained of a strange taste in his beverages, believed Shirley when she said
that it was an iron suppl ement for his health . When Allen's death was investigated,
toxicology reports confirmed that his body tissue contained a lethal amount of ethyl
glycol. After a short four-day trial, Shirley Allen was sentenced to life in prison in \983.

"There is obvious~y a problem in hip-hop. But this problem is a problem
that stems largely from American bloodlust. £lJerywIJere YOli look ill

happened to Jam Master Jay hurts more than Biggie or Tilpa c. simply
because those cats ... rwefed in the ftc! that YOIl better shoot them bifore they
shoot you. JM] was about PEACE. "
Run-DMC and Jam Master Jay a re widely credited with hel ping to
bring rap music and hip-hop culture into the mainstream . Beginning
in the 1980s when othe r rap artists were sampling R&B beats, Jay took
a career risk and sampled riffs from classic rock. The group promoted
cross-c ultural unity, collaborating with Aeros mith to make an updated
version of Ae rosmith's "Walk This Way", a move th at revitali zed the
ca reers of both groups.
Run-DM C and Jam Master Jay were loved for mo re than their music,
their Adidas sneakers , their thick gold chains, and their leather suits.
In 1986, th e trio promoted the tradition of raptivism (rap activism) by
calling for a day of peace between warring Los Angeles gangs. Earli er
this year, Jam Master Jay founded th e Scratch DJ Academ y, whose
mission was to educate future DJs about the history of turntablism ,
so und mixing, and marketing techniques.
At a New York City rap concert, on the night of Jay's murder, Kool
Herc, credited as the progenitor of rap music, and other rap stars, paid
respect ro the legendary DJ and urged people to pray for peace.
Run-DMC and Jam Master Jay were immortalized on Hollywood's
RockWalk on February 25, 2002. Induction in RockWalk is an honor
bestowed on those who have contributed to the advancement of music.
The trio joined music superstars such as B.B. King, Johnny Cash, Elvis,
and Jimi Hendrix, and were the first rap act to achieve thi s status.
Other firsts the groups achieved were the first rap video shown on
MTV ("Rock Box"), the first rap group to perform on Saturday Night
Live, and the first rap group on American Bandstand.
No announcement has been made about whether the trio's 20'"
anniversary tour will be Cilncelled, but in a 1988 MTV News interview,
Run (Joseph Simmons) said, "We'll never have a band," then he pointing
to Jam Master Jay. "That's our band."

No offense ro Dinah Washingron, but what a difference a month
makes. JUSt last month, the rap music pion'eers Run -DMC and Jam
Master Jay were promoting their upcoming 20'" anniversary rour and
this month the rap nat ion mourns the death of the gro up's legendary
D J , Ja m Master Jay.
Acco rding to a police spokesman, Jam Master Jay (born Jason
Mize ll ) was shot once in the head at approximately 7:30 pm (ET), on
Wednesday, Ocrober 30''', in the loun ge of hi s recording studio. Jay 's
associate, 25-year-old Urieco Rincon, was shot in the leg and taken
ro a local h ospital. Authorities confirm that after being rushed ro
a nea rby hospital, Jam Master Jay was pronoun ced dead on arrival.
At th e time of h is deat h, he was 37 years old and is survive d by hi s
wife and th ree ch ildren.
As of press time, th e police have made no a rrests nor have they
es tablish ",d a m otive for th e murder. However, invcsti gato rs said th ey

whether the gunmen were in vo lved wit h the female vocal duo that was
recording with Jay at th e time of hi s death.

1996 and 1997 , rappers T upac Shakur and T he N oto riou s H.I.G. were

After a bricf peri od of waiting, I saw
John and Brad of C -Average tak e stage.
Together, th ey are "th e two who wh en well

I have been to see C -Average nu ny times.
So m e of the shows are good and , well. ..
sOllle of them are not so good. This show
blew the others out o f the water. Th e c ues,
the exc han ges. the transitions, it was all so
very we ll done. The crowd was very int o
the so ngs and dancing drunkenly aro und
the back of the bar. C-Average drew a large r
crow d than the rest. probably because they
are kn ow n for their intuiti ve and excel lent
synchronization as musician s. Jo hn knows
his g uitar very well and plays fast and , low
tempos and progr'ess ions with an edge. His
sty les in some of th eir so ng remind me of
th e Black Sa bb ath guitar so unds. I t hink
th at rea lly makes th e c rowd ge t on their fee t
and indulge in the C-AVERAGE. Brad 's
drumming was in credibl e. The pounding o f
the double bass drums went straight to my
ea rdrums and then buzzing ro my brain.
It was just magnificent to watch and listen
to these guys rock. Brad also uses so me
math rock techniques wh il e p lay in g, adding
fills in different sections whi le completely
maintaining his 'simultaneous fill s to what
John is strumming.
I know I will see all of these bands play
again as I love to show my support and
dedication towards local music and the
musicians of Olympia. I thought that this
show was a wonderful showcase of our
local talents and some of Olvmpia'~ best
bands.

Bv Alison SlOw Loris
As of this quarter, Evergreen's Tacoma
campus has its very own Writing Center.
.__ In manx waxs the Tacoma W[iting__
C enter resembles its Olympian parent
institution , the WC, as the original Writing
Ce nter is affectionately known to its staff

office. With 200 students in day and
evening programs, Evergreen Tacoma uses
every inch of its~andsome uew__huilding.
Room 132 will probably be needed as a
faculty office next year, but we'll cross that
bridge when we come to it. For now, it's
the Writing Center.
Staff size is another point of di ssimilarity.
There is exactly one writing tutor at Taco ma
so far: me. Beca use I'm on the spot, living a
short distance from campus, I am th e lucky
tutor entrusted with se tting up the Taco ma
Writing Center under Sandy Yannone's
direction. Help with writing became ava ilable on th e Tacoma ca mpus in Spring 2002,
when tutor Juliana C haum ette visited twice
a week from Olympia. Now that th e annual
budget allows for up to 3S tutor hours a
week in Tacoma, it's tim e for th e tutoring
serv ice to have its own home. There are
not qu ite enou gh rutors to go around in
O lym pia this q uaner, so no one else has

CONTINENTS, ELEVEN BLOCKS,
ONE COMMUNITY. Many of the students I have met so far speak English as
their second language. I am awed by the
courag.e- an.d-deter:mination....displayedby____
these brigh t students as they tackle the
challenge of higher education in a foreign
language.
In a program that is designed to meet
the needs of urban working adults, the
45-55 age group outnumbers the traditional
"college age" group of IS-24 by almost 3 to
I. The focus on making higher education
accessible and responsive to the needs
of mature students is not unlike that of
the University of Washington's Tacoma
program, but the difference (in this writer's

a soul. Both programs emphasize selfimprovement, but at
advanced learning is markc;ted as the path to making more
money. Evergreen Tacoma studems too can
gain skills that fit them for positions of
greater trust, power and responsibility, but
the accent here is on the contribution one
can make to the community. Prominently
displayed in the lobby is the motto "Emer

I am here to do both: to learn and to
serve . My philosophy as a writing tutor
is simple: I believe that everyone has
the potential to be a fine writer because
everyone has something to say. My job as
a tutor is to help a writer get past some of
the obstacles to saying it. I am inspired by
the stories of the obstacles that students
here have already overcome and continue
to overcome on the path to success, and
[ consider it an honor to be allowed to
help.

Ramadan Mubarak 1423A.H.
(Islamic Calendar)/2002 C.E.
by '7bn Shaheed Rashlf Nunddm

Ramadhan, the Holy Month of
Islam, began on Wednesday of this week.
This is <;!.ne of the integral tenents of Islam
and month in which Muslims around the
world observe fasting purely for the sake of
Allah . Fasting is observed beginning with
the sighting of the crescent moon on the
ninth month of the Islamic calendar. Muslims attempt to abstain from eating, drinking, and sexual activity from dawn until
dusk.
The month of Ramadhan is when
the initial five verses of the Quran were
revealed to the prophet Muhammad{pbuh)
in the year 610 by Allah. Fasting is precribed to commemorate and give thanks
for the the guidance of the Quran, which
for Muslims is the
and

th e crriterion for deciphering the difference
betwee n right and wron g. During thi s
month Muslims strive to increase their
faith by inculcating and exhibiting virtue
through austere sacrifice and worship. Traditionally, Ramadhan was a month that
believers in Islam anticipated with optimism. However, this has not been the case
111 recent years.
Muslims, recently, have suffered
unprecedented oppresion . A world-wide
war has been waged against the religion. In
the province of Gujarat, India Muslims have
been burned alive and killed only because
they are Muslim. Muslims in Palestine are
being severely brutalized only because they
are Muslim . Kosovo and Chechnya are also
places where Muslims are in depressed and

Where's my Personal

Jetpack?

It's my senior year at this lean,
green educating machine. I know what
pedagogy means. I've got my 180
credits worth of angry, enlightened
moments of learning glory. But I need
to know-- ~here's my personal jetpack?

mostly she talked about the jet packs .
My speckled adolescent nose was
heady with the smell of imaginary
exhaust. I was in the gutter, looking
up at the stars, dreaming of the
day that my BA would turn into a
chrome, fuel-injected masterpiece of
machinery. All I had was an old beat-up
Toyota. But that was before college.
At first I thought that the
more you paid in tuition the bigger
the jet pack you'd get on graduation
day. I was wrong. At the expensive
school, I heard tragic rumors about the
jetpacks . They were typical. sundry,
no frills.
I was not impressed .
So I came to Evergreen . It was an
alternative school, so I thought that at
least I might get my choice of colors or
ring tones. Truly, I am in it for the jetpack.
I have received no order form.
No "congratu lations" letter. Sometimes
at night, I go out and search the sky
for a streak of electric, successful light
to slash the stars and give me hope. I
don't see any. I question the existence
even a single jetpack in this town.
I want my mother to see me hover
across the stage, my robe out of the dirt
and my face towards the clouds. Slowly,
gently, I'd push the thrusters, reach for the
extended, hopeful hand. Congratulations.
You are now a college graduate. During

promised? Where is my personal jet-pack?"

desperate conditions. Economic santions in
I raq have contributed to thousands deaths
and low standards ofliving among the
populus. A good indication of the
hopelesssness comes from Nouriya Muhammad, an Iraqi woman, who stated, "Ramadhan has become torture."(cnn .com/world
"Ramadan Overshadowed by War Threat"
Wed . Nov. 6, 2002)
The problem is not just an external
issue, though. Corruption among leaders
in Muslim countries like Turkey, Tunisia,
Jordan, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt has also
been a major fac tor in the deter iorated state
of Islam, True believers in those countries
are often times subjugated and imprisoned
for tryin g to practice their way of life to
th e fullest extent possible. In my opinion,
the real problem with the
Muslim s is internal. The
Holy Quran states, "Truly
those who succeed purifies
th eir ownselves; And those
who fail corrupt their
ownselves."(91 :8-9)
Ramadhan is a
month in which Muslims
make an effort to congregate more often. Prayers
and suppl ications are made
in Mosques to implement
more cohesiveness among
their respective communities. The fundamental
chapter of the Quran that
must be recited in every
uniform prayer is called
Fatiha, or the Opening. For

devout Muslims, this chapter is recited over
twenty-seven times per day. Verse six asks
Allah to, "guide us to the straight way."
Guidance is the only thing besides forgiveness that is requested by Muslims from
Allah in this chapter.
A wise teacher once related a parable to me about this guidance that Muslims ask for. He said, "What if a person
went to a rich person everyday and asked
him for a penny and the rich man gave
him this penny. Desite this generosity, the
person who asked for the penny decided to
throw the pennies away each time in front
of the rich person." The wise teacher then
questioned , "Do you think the rich person
would continue to give away pennies while
they are being flagrantly discarded.?"

Po/ice Services Communify Review Board
If you have st rong feelings about the police at Evergreen, yo u ca n do one of two things: something or nothing. If you wish
to d o something, a good place to start is the Police Services Community Review Board. Their purpose is to further commu nication
between the campus comm unity and Police Services. This is a commit tee made up of three st udents, two fac ulty and three staff.
They want people to talk to people. They will address specific c,o ncerns and comp la ints at the HCC Friday, November 8 at 10:00.

The my~ 9fMedea is 'a ~ontlquation of th~ myth ofJason and the Argonauts:. When Jason {played by
a robust, young Aaron An,dersQn)an~ hJs crew arrive at Colichis to collect the Golden Fi!:ece, it is Me~ea:
(fiery-haired yuren' O'Neill) who betrays her 'country and hands over the fleece to Jason. She then saUs
back to Corinth with hiin' to serve as his bride 'imd mother to his children.

Medea is crushed;by .th,is .rejection ;Ind~ vows revenge on him: Ultimately she realizes that the only truly
harmful. reve~ge she.Cal! infiicton JaSon -is the murder of their children (played confusingly by Rachel
Crouthamel and a ~ Iumpr: sack). But in the course of committing infanticide, she also murders Jason's '
. new bride and father-in-law, King Creon (a stern and wary Roark Brewster). Medea begs Queen Aegus
(Rebecca Henrie) for refuge 'in Athens, after she discovers- chat,she is to be exiled from Corinth. Henrie
is adequate and understated as the generous ruler of A.thens. When Medea sends poison to the palace
of Corinth, iiltend~d for the princess and king, she receives news of h'er success via an active messenger
(Jessica Delas~~urr). Medea's nurse (RaychelWagn~() introduces us to the sense of impending doom that
surro.4nds the entire play. She' is 'a1so trusted with manyJines of exposition and infuses most of them with
genuine concern :<!nd foreboding. Medea's children's tutor {played sincerely by John Abraham Bo-rrolussi}
also senses dang~r '~or tJ1ech~ldre!l' Throughout the play, Medea herselfis haunted by the chorus of Corinth

Once you perform your own songs in front of-people, you end up
wanting to perform in front of larger audiences, or record your own
CD. I recently bought a new amplifier, and the sound quality of it
makes me hear and play songs better. Playing songs better makes you
want to perform at open mic even more. I have also learned the secret
of watching videos of stars playing on easy songs, such as Nirvana
songs; it makes learning them a lot eas ier and more natural. Open mic
curren tly runs at the HCC every Tuesday night, at 8 o'clock.
Imagine you are sitting on a co uch, a very comfortable co uch , and
yo u are about to perform. The stage light partly illuminates your
body. The heat of the room' is like a home to you. and there is plenty
of space. A person wo uld want to connect their electric guitar to th e
two speal<ers; a person wo uld want to play an acoustic with a lowered
microphone, co nnected to the two speakers. I spent my first open
mic sharing the limelight with a pair of white-feathered angel wings,
a dress, and so mething soft and pink of a sh irt.
Wear anything you want , but everybody is a "star" on campus. Any
person who has a so ng sho uld perform it. College open mic is more
uniform , recreational, and professional than any high schooL My high
school at Vashon Island had a small theatre with many si ngle- person
seats, and there was a lot of laughing and commotion. Evergreen
allows us to know people and remember them more closely. There has
never been a school that is more arti stic.
I. myself, have been performing some Nirvana , and some of my
own written inspirations, from about a year ago. Songs that I want
to lea rn include "Stain", by Nirvana, off lncesticide, and also "Live
Through This", also known as "Asking For It". by Hole, with Kurt
Cobain vocals. Some people use tablature from the internet, which
is the best way to start learning. Once you know the basics of
the guitar, you can apply your knowledge of tablatures and create
your own songs.
Many students can write songs just as well as they listen to music.
But students don't just want to write their own so ngs, but also
want to dress up and impress the crowd in the stage light. These
people are there to listen to you. whether you're expressing music.
poetry, or just singing.
[ enjoy performing at the HCC because it is so close to the dorm
buildings. All [ have to do is carry my am plifier and guitar a little way.
It is impom.nt to say that people should feel comfortable performing.
There is always roo m and comfort at open mic, so come to the HCC
and be a part of the entertainment.

Tim McBride & Adam Brodsk)!J2.reach to the converted in Chehalis

Tim McBride , the local singerlsongwriterlguitarist/complaine r picked me up aro und 7:3 0 on Friday night to playa show at th e Matrix Coffeehouse in Chehalis, about
30 minutes so uth of Olympia . I had no idea w hat to ex pec.t cons idering I hadn't seen either of these folk figures pl ay in five months. Tim spent most of the car ride bitching
about how all of th e students in his classes are stupid er than him and have '1 difficult tim e reading about racism and thi s country's h isto ry. Appa rently the only thing any
of these peo ple have to say for th emse lves is that they're shocked, abso lu te ly shocked. It was hard to disagree with Tim sin ce he's so damn funny and cy ni cal, but swears
he's tryin g to be mo re posit ive, he just doesn't know how to do it yet. This is th e Same guy that wrote a song called "Solving Men's Problem s (Love and Vagina)" and he
GlI1'r fi gure out how to look o n th e lighter side of life.
The Mat rix Coffee ho use is hidd en on a lonely street in Chehalis and looks tota lly out of place. A few old hippi es got togerh er and dec ided to rent an abando ned warehouse. hang
up a bunch of tap es tri es, pain tings, build a stage, throw in a pool table, some books, a piano, and a cafe to cntertain thc loca ls. Too bad th e locals think they're Satan . The owner said
th e town's sp iri tual leade rs have been bashin g and warn ing aga inst this holy place since it ope ned. It's big, hallow, cool, mellow. and has the feeling of a meditation halL The barista
and local comed ian Cricket even has a fl am ing Buddha tattooed on his head.
We arrived late, but the place was as quiet as a tomb or an abandoned, rundown lounge. The crowd was th in , so thin in fa ct that we waited alm ost an hour for a total
o~ ten peo ple. The plaGe ~s defintely not fi lled to its maxi mum capa ci ty. This made for quite the-intimate show with th e perform ers. Despite th e lack of attentive eyes.
both men we re psyched to share their silly songs.
Tim was up first and his mood drastica lly changed from dark, pissed off, angry, and cold to joyful, cheery, co mfortable, and high energy. He starred his set with a sweet tale
of splicing organic food with buffalo genes. "You're eating the buffalo. Does it make you sad'" is just one of the many great one-liners of Mr. McBride. He goes on to defend John
Hinckl ey (Reagan's attempted assassin) and hopes for a similar fate for the curre nt Oval Office ten ant. A total of three so ngs we re dedi cated to th e "sex u ally frust rated,
middle age man" and each is unique in it's own special way since we never run out of jokes for the cute little monkey boy. "Johnny Walker Blues" explores Tim's aspirations
to join th e military and participate in our mi ss ion to find Osama Bin Laden , but instead we find Johnn y Walker, "American Taliban." You might think he's a crazy parriot.
but he's just pissed off and wants free training with high-powered guns so he can fulfill the demands of Hanson to go a six-day killing spree. He even has a few qualms with
Evergreen. hippycrites, trustafarians, and slactivists, so all you Gree ners watch out. there's a new sniper in town and he's got an SUV and his "flag held high, stars and stripes
and freedom are on his side." Don't worry, he wouldn't actuall y do such a thing, or would he? It's all in good fun. Combine Bob Dylan , Woody Guthrie, Bill Hicks, George
Ca rlin, and T he Dead Kennedy's and you've got Tim McBride.
Adam Brodsky had a sim ilar stage premise and almost parallel music and jokes, except he liked stopping in th e middle of so ngs and he was Jewish, therefore ; he made
fun of himself a lot and talked about having a threesome with Amy Gra.!2.~ and .Ani Difranco. At least this dirty old man has taste. Just picture a black-haired Drew Carey
who's a bit skinnier, wears thicker glasses, and dresses like a leftover from the short-lived grunge era. His best line of the whole night was, "I know you're all worried about
losing your civil liberties, but h ave no fear, I wrote a folk song." Highly inspired and original lyrics along with co nsistently hilarious lyrics involving bad hippies, Jew Grass,
the Warsaw Ghetto Blues, History of the World, Drinking in Synagogues, and Diesel Dykes make for an extremely entertaining eve ning. It better be if he was voted best
folk singer in Philadelphia two years in a row (2000 and 2001).
Not the bes t show I've ever seen, but I came away satisfied, sober, and ready to write about how much Jews Kick Ass. You can find more infomiation on these artists
@ moodkiller.com and adambrodsky:com or Jewskickass.com.
