During orientation week of fall quarter,
Greeners left campus to serve in an environmental service project called Community
to Community. Last year, as a part of the
Citizen Artist program, Evergreen students
displayed artwork that increased awareness
of local civic organizations at the Capitol
Theater during Arts Walk. These are just two
examples of the many projects that Evergreen
students have participated in that have reached
out to the local community si nce the co llege
was founded in I (j71. In the educational
field, thi s practice of reciprocal partnerships
between academic inst ituti ons and the loca l
community has many names, including service-l earnin g, e:-: peri ent ial education, public
service, and cOllllllunity-based learning. The
latter term was chosen to describe thi s practice at Evergreen .
Community-based learning is an exce llent educational tool because it enables
students to learn by developing solutions
to real-world problems in partnership with
the community. This practice is proven to
improve student learning by making it more
personal and influential. During the 1997-98
school year, a Community-Based Learning
DTF (d isappeari ng task force) of students,
staff, faculty, and community members was
formed to investigate community-based
learning at Evergreen and around the world.
The next academic year, a report was released
that recommended that Evergreen establish
a center for community-based learning. This
academic year, four years of research and
planning will culminate with the introduction of a new Center for Community-Based

photo courtesy of Jeremy Stutes ':'
Learning & Action at Evergreen. The center will eventually be located in Seminar II in with other Public Service
Centers, but until then, a temporary center is being set up
to store resources.
The new Center for Community-Based Learning
& Action will be a primary point of contact between
students, faculty, academic programs, and community
organizations. It will serve as a clearinghouse for opportunities for involvement within the community and an
archive of past work. In addition, the center will work with

who I wanted to be. I didn't HAVE any racial predispositions; I
didn't have to be like anything or anyone except myself. No stereotypes for me! I was in the coveted middle, just like everywhere
else, only with shag carpeting and La-Z-Boys.
I know I'm making a joke about a serious subject, but if you
can't have humor about life, how can you live? I understand many
people like me have had hard lives trying to find who they are, and
have had trouble fitting in with other people because of their duality.
For them, I leave everyone with this. Mulatto is NOT a nice word to
call people who are halfb~ack and half white: I can personally say
that it'd be like calling a black person a "negro." It WAS sociaUy
acceptable in the olden days, but it sure as heck isn't now. Thus
I give everyone this wonderful word I discovered a few years ago
listening to 107.7 "The End": halfrican. It's the best word I have
ever heard to describe my "people." It's better then the M word, and
was created by a halfrican for halfricans. So please, use this word
as much as you can. If you just HAVE to describe someone's racial
background, please be considerate. PersonaUy, I feel it's better to
not do it at all, but if you simply must, be considerate. Sticks and
stones may break bones, but words can destroy minds.

The first time in my life where being half black and half white
was ever an issue is when I saw a character like me on Boston Public.
She spoke on not ever knowing where she belonged, and how hard
it was to be caught in the middle of two races.
You see, I never really thought what race I was, just that my
parents loved each other, and they loved me. It was a world of who
liked me and who didn't, not a world where the color of my skin
ever mattered. This may be due to the fact that I lived in Renton,
a suburb of Seattle, almost all my life. It also maybe because my
parents were very good at sheltering us from the world when my
brother and I needed it.
Whatever the cause, being biracial never mattered much to me
until around my senior year of high school. Mostly only because I
was fixed on how I looked. As I grew older, my skin kept growing
lighter and lighter, until only my hair really showed I wasn't white. I
always wanted darker skin, mostly because I thought it was beautiful,
and not because of any social reasons. It wasn't like I NEEDED to be
black and with "my people." I was as black as I needed to be. I can
sling ebonies with the best of them and hang out with any kind of
people. Being in-between was cool, mostly because I could choose

The Student Health Center services a
variety of needs. We'd like to share with
you the most frequent visits at the Health
Center. This information is intended to
help you identify when to seek treatment
and methods of self-care and prevention.
We've also included possible costs. The
quarterly health fee you pay as part of
your tuition and fees covers all office
visits. We charge discounted rates for
labs, prescriptions, and procedures.
Female Annual Exam/Contraception
Female annual exams and contraception
consults are the two most popular appointments at the Health Center. An annual
exam includes: (I) A pap smear, a test that
screens for changes in cervical cells. It is
a method for early detection of cervical
cancer and HPV, the virus that causes
genital warts. (2) A culture for gonorrhea
and chlamydia , two common sexually
transmitted infections. It is recommended
that sexually active women schedule a
pap once a year. Also, get to know your
vagina! If you notice anything abnormal,
don't hesitate to see a practitioner.
Hormonal birth control, cervical
caps, and diaphragms can be obtained
during a birth control consult if you've
had an annual in the past year. If not,
schedule your annual and do it all at once.
Emergency contraception (Plan B) is also
available and requires a short visit with a
practitioner, no appointment necessary.

On Saturday, Novem ber 8, 2003, Krist
Noveselic, the bass player for Nirvana,
graced the regional PIRG conference at the
Un iversity of Portland . Th is may come as a
shock to those of you who only know Krist
as a musician. What in the world would he
be doing with a non-partisan environmental
lobbying group, you may ask. Well, that's
a good question that has a very inspiring
answer.
I first met Krist at the thirtieth anniversary of WashPIRG party. As a western
Washington resident, Krist has been interested in the various politics that our region
encounters. His participation in WashPIRG
has been that of visibility for JAM PAC (Joint
Artists and Music Promoters Political
Action Committee) and a campaign that he
spearheads called "Fix Our United States"
whose motto is "Let's fix our broken democracy'" These words sound all well and good ,
and one might think a bit on the idealistic
not-really-active side of politics . On the
contrary, Krist's actions speak louder than
hi s well-articulated words . Kri st has helped
reverse the Teen Dance Ord inance in Sealtle
and worked to stop censorsh ip and reiterate our freedom of speech. Krist's research
and proposed plan to redistrict voter zones
(to allow a third party candidate a seat in
the House) is the most proac tive idea I've
encountered that didn 't require the impossible socialist revolution .
Krist outlined his plan for the redistricting of Washington into Super-districts
at the PI RG Convention last weekend to

an enthusiastic crowd of "PIRGers" from
California Oregon and Washington . He
says that " Idealism is th~ counterweight to
Cynicism" and therefore "we must value our
ideals." He further states: " I bel ieve that
we need to come to the aid of our broken
democracy." His plan of redistricting is the
process he cites by which to "reconnect
people in a positive way." He feels this
action will require candidates to "speak to
the mainstream sensibilities of Washington
voters." This policy shift in the role of the
American voter he calls "The Velvet Revolution ," whose tool will be the inception of
Full Party Representation . Kri st explained
that "an idea is like a bird, you don't want
to keep it in a cage ... I'm letting it go, this
[super-district] isn't my idea anymore. It 's
your idea. It has nothing to do with me. I
just believe in it."
Krist has made me believe in it too! I
think this idea is a great tool to encourage
Republicans and Democrats to take inlo
accou nt the issues of the smaller part ie s
such as the Green and Labor Parties. Now
all we need to do is give into our idealism
and take back our vote. As my new favorite
Oly band said , "Use your voice before you
lose your choice." Let our Washington musicians inspire you!
For more information you can check

or search keywords: super-district, proportional representation , or full represe ntation .

Depression or Anxiety
Depression and/or anxiety are
extremely common and are always in the
top five most common visits. There is no
simple definition or remedy for depression
or anxiety. Mostly we want to call attention to how common these troubles are on
our campus. This may be disturbing or it
may be comforting since you are not alone
in feeling sad, confused, worried, or even
like you're going crazy. Gauging how
deep and overwhelming your troubling
feelings are and judging how they affect
your life is up to you. If you decide to
seek counseling, two resources on campus
are the Health Center and the Counseling Center, both located in the Seminar
building. We encourage anyone who has
questions or concerns about depression
or anxiety to talk to a counselor. Again,
office visits and counseling sessions are
covered by your health fee.
Self-Care/Prevention:
Exercise: grab a friend and go for a
run or dance around. Exercise boosts your
self-esteem and physiologically it raises
endorphin levels, giving you a natural
feeling of well being.

The Perils of
Imprecise Language

ee Kepraios
(ou'll permit me to get anecdotal for a moment, I'd like to bring to your attention
:ident that occurred in my class a few weeks ago. I don't mean to be boring you
:00 much banter arising from my own life, because I am not the main subject of
olumn. But this, I think, is worthy of a discussion.
Nas announced one afternoon that we would be having a potluck. Now I've never
in a situation where it was inferred that I was to attend a potluck before. I've been
ew of them in the past but had no desire to ever go to one again in my lifetime
. But the more we discussed it and the closer we came to the day it was decided
ltluck would happen, the more I got the impression that it was a requirement for
seeing as how no one seemed to be against going.
hen I publicly inquired as to whether it was a requirement, I was misunderstood and
I to elaborate. You'd have never seen a more confused gallery of expressions than
s moment. You'd have thought I had suggested that we sell our belongings, move
nbabwe, and begin taking hashish rectally. But no, I merely asked, not impolitely
vithout concealed intentions, if it was okay that I didn't go to the potluck.
Ie reason I asked this apparently ludicrous question is that I think pot lucks are
IOmination. They're egregious, saccharine charade of a ritual masquerading as a
J event. But they also promote a bogus mentality and are, I think, more harmful
most people realize. Ifl were running this school, I would ban potlucks.
)tlucks feed into a kind of certain kind of mentality, prevalent in colleges and
!rsities all over the country but rampant at Evergreen, and that's this idea that any

y time a potluck is announced someone goes, "Free food? I'm there!" They're an

e or less a free meal.
But whitt's wrong with having a forum where there can be a free exchange of ideas?"
ask. Nothing. Except that you shouldn't have to lure people to such a forum with

bv Allison Arth

n a frosty April morning in 1912, Commodore Edward
John Smith ofthe RMS TItanic received a cryptic message: "There's something in the water."
"How very imprecise," the Commodore commented
to himself as he pressed the "Full Speed Ahead" button
and left to take his breakfast alongside some of the on-board aristocracy.
Later that evening, as the ill-starred Titanic sank slowly into the roiling Atlantic
waters, Commodore Smith cursed the bearer of that incurably vague message: "There's
something in the water." If it had not been for that misguided messenger's imprecise
language, thousands oflives could have been saved, and we could have been spared the
cinematic cruelty that was James Cameron's foray into blockbusting romantic drama
a la Leonardo diCaprio.
Indeed, the perils of imprecise language are many; just think of how many times
you've been thwarted by imprecision: that time your gym teacher told you to do "a
few" laps, and then gave you detention for only completing four; that time your sister
said you were going to get "it," and you unwittingly assumed she meant the chocolate
bar in her hand, but she really meant "a pop in the nose"; even that time you saw the
sign advertising a costume party dedicated to "the pre-eminent English poet," and
you came dressed as John Milton, and everyone else was dressed as Alexander Pope.
These dreadful debacles, these social snafus - all could have been remedied by a little
precision. Indeed, precise language is integral to effective communication; without it,
personal injury and extreme embarrassment result.
But, though imprecise language on the part of others gets you punched in the face
and laughed out of Papal costume parties, imprecision on your part can do even worse
damage - essentially, it makes you sound dumb. When your speech or writing is vague,
ambiguous, or imprecise, chances are you're estranging your audience because they
have no idea what you're talking about.
jake this thesis statement, for example: "George EI iot does some things in the novel
that explore aspects of culture." Or maybe this candidate's statement, taken from the
2003 Thurston County Voters' Pamphlet: "I've learned to ask difficult questions and to
listen carefully so that I can help craft balanced solutions." In both of these examples,
imprecision overshadows any shred of directness, and leaves loads of questions unanswered: what "things" does George Eliot do? What "aspects of culture" does the novel
explore? And: what is a "difficult question," exactly? What constitutes a "balanced
solution"?
Readers will naturally gloss over these imprecisions; they will not attempt to decode
the author's ambiguities, as decoding takes a rather long time and is relatively ridiculoLi s
and kind of impossible, seeing as how readers can't do mind melds with authors .
Bottom line: don 't be vague - you ' lljust confuse people , and then they ' ll think you ' re
some kind of hack, and you'll never get your novel about cross-class romance aboard
a doomed cruising vesse l published. Just remember the old - and ironically imprecise
- adage: loose lips - i.e. those whosc owners don't choose their words very carefullysink ships (like the Titanic). Bear this in mind, and you'll never be ambiguous again .

foward Dean: A Presidential Candidate to Believe In
Zack Gore
have never been excited about a presidential nominee before. Never has a candidate wOl1h my supp0l1 had a chance. Sure, I've liked some candidates in the past, but never
one had nearly the chance Howard Dean does to straighten the course of our nation.
Jean is a very qualified, moral , educated. ethi ca l, honest, and REAL citizen. He shares the values of the American people, something we cel1ainly cannot say about our curt leader. He was the first of the major nominees to speak out against the war, and did it without reservations. He strongly believes in equal rights for all citizens, no matter
at race, background, sexual orientation, disabilities, or gender. He proposes banning workplace and immigration discrimination based on sexual orientation, strengthening
eral protections against anti-gay violence, removing the Patriot Act, undoing the acts proposed and enacted by Bush limiting a woman 's right to choose, and el iminating racial
filing on local and state levels. He will , as president, repeal the Bush tax cuts for the wealthy, and use those funds to pay for universal health care, homeland security, and
estments in job creation that benefit ALL Americans. Dean wants to make education a priority at a child's birth, and continue that priority throughout their lives. He believes
t the government needs to renew its commitment to broader access to higher education. Howard Dean recognizes the need for international environmental cooperation. He
,mises to "craft comprehensive environmental policies that keep the long-term in mind ." Perhaps most importantly, he has actually demonstrated, through his actions, his
nmitment to all of these things.
His experience as an effective moral leader was proven when he rose to his state's highest position. As governor of Vermont, Dean provided access to health insurance for
Irly all children in the state and more then nine-tenths of all Vermonters. He developed programs that reduced child abuse in Vermont by nearly half, with an 84% decline
,exual abuse victims younger than seven. Doctor Dean created 56,000 new jobs (a 20% increase in the workforce) during a time of relative economic depression. He saw
teen pregnancy rate in his state drop 49%. He has repeatedly worked to defend the environment, protecting more than one million acres of farmland, shorefront, working
ests, and wilderness. He has drastically lowered pollution. Vermont became the first state to allow gay marriage, guaranteeing lesbian and gay couples the same basic legal
hts that hetero couples enjoy: the right to .inherit property, obtain child custody, visit a partner in the hospital, and control a partner's affairs upon death. Governor Howard
an did all of this and still managed to pay offhis state 's entire $70 million budget deficit while building up a large "rainy day" reserve and a $10 million surplus.
You can certainly make an argument for the policies of other presidential nominees, particularly Dennis Kucinich, but we need to look seriollsly at the reality of thi s situation .
il ile Kucinich is certainly an inspirational and exciting candidate because of his values and style, he does not have the organization or popularity that he would need to de-seal
Ish from hi s position as " leader" of the United States of America. Dean has very similar ideas and liberal ideals, but he is bel1er funded , better organized , and in ~ M~CH
tter position in the poll s. He has a MUCH better chance to beat Bush in the general election. He is the candidate we can trust to do a good job ... a candidate to belIeve m.

"Every day is April Fool's day."
H.L. Mencken
I picked up a book in the Evergreen Bookstore the other day entitled Our Media,
Nol Theirs. One of the people who co-wrote the book is an Evergreen graduate. The
book is interesting, but has a ton of absurdities painted all over it.
Robert McChesney's only issue is "media democratization." (That's mind-numbing.
Just put the world "democracy" in front of a word and suddenly it is a hot issue.) He
helped co-write Our Media, Not Theirs.
McChesney wrote the book Rich Media, Poor Democracy, which is a text that some
Evergreen classes usually use each year. The book is one big tirade of "facts" about
how corporate holdings of news outlets influence the news. He never.directly advocates
having the government control news outlets, but he comes very close. He has a lot of
praise for NPR and PBS (with some exceptions) throughout the book.
Ollr Media, Not Theirs surrounds itself in the premise that "the founding framers
would support our media democratization!" (I will admit r did not read the entire book,
but I did read a substantial portion of it while standing in the bookstore.) Two Words:
Utterly Fraudulent. Anyone who thinks James Madison or Thomas Paine would support a state-run media needs to read an entire book in their words. Noam Chomsky'S
"Renewing Tom Paine 's Struggle" introduction is enough to make me build a time
machine and quickly go get Tom Paine just so I can see him punch Chomsky in the face .
What a way to twist someone's words. When I die, hopefully all my words die with me .
I can see it now, the title of the cover of the CPJ when I die: "Good riddance."
Take another book I saw on the bookshel f at another bookstore recently, Jefferson s
War: America sFirst War on Terrorism. The book, by its cover synopsis and what parts
of it I read (didn 't read the entire thing) equated the "Barbary war" with the current
"War on Terrorism." Woah, talk about comparing apples to trucks. First off, piracy is
a constitutionally sanctioned crime in Article One Section Eight. It reads, "To define
and punish Piracies and Felonies committed on the high Seas, and Offenses against
the Law of Nations." The Barbary war is a rather obscure part of history and pirates
plagued the Adams administration as well. After all, you know how much pirates on
the high seas have to do with deposing of dictators abroad . WM Ds and cannon ballrigged barges are just the same thing, right? I think the title of the book explains which
political party the author is registered with .
Most books about the founding framers are written by statists, i.e. socialists, modern
liberals. or conservatives. What these statists do (maybe without them knowing) is-that
they subtly discredit the founding framers and interject their own views in the process.
The two blend together so well that one might start thinking that Jefferson started the
Green Party or James Madison started the Reform Party.
I don't mind that statists write books about the founding framers, but I wish that they
would di'sclose their bias in the beginning of the book. In a true debate or any disc~s-'
sion, we should call an ace an ace and a spade a spade. However, there aren 't a lot of
people around today who want to do that.
The founding framers were pro-liberty, not necessarily pro-democracy, and they
sure weren't pro-government intervention. Their problem was centered on the question,
"Which governinent would govern best?" A better follow-up to that question would be,
"What government will cause the least of amount of damage and loss of natural rights?"
I guess that above all, it's popular culture's denigration of terminology that makes situations like these possible. Imagine what life would be like if we had to fight another
revolutionary war to defend such things as the taxi cab rider bill of rights!

Best Kept Secret
~Dane

Herrin

I would like to start this offby saying I am thrilled out of my mind every time I walk
Ollt to the graffiti wall and see something new. Most everyone who writes out there
is awesome and I respect all of you kids who spend your time making the graf-wall
possible. And thanks to all of the people at facilities, especially Michel George for
making the call and getting us the okay and Cliff Hepburn for working out the details.
And thank you to Chris Yates for letting us paint on his wall and thank you to Ahoi
Mench for the llwesome signs. Most of all, thanks to the people who love to paint and
keep the wall fresh and new.
It is consistently great to ~now that people appreciate the wall and use it to their
advantage. Joey Freer and I started this thing last March on the north side ofthe Comm
Building. When the people at the facilities suggested the space, it was hidden behind
ten yards of trees and was visible only from certain spots, and we were skeptical. We
thought they just wanted to stuff us where no one would see the art going on our free
wall. After we saw the sprawling eighty feet of center wall and the two twenty foot
side walls we decided that the free wall would be Evergreen's best kept secret. A lot
of students still don't know about it, but it has gained some notoriety because since last
march I have seen crews come through take all eighty feet of the center wall and tar it
up. Most recently, P.L.U.S. crew came in and covered the wall with enough colors to
drown in. My favorites are the local kids who constantly crawl out of bed to strap on
their respirators and gettheir hands dirty. Keep up the awesome work. If you don't,
they'll' shut the wall down.
When we got the wheels in motion to get this wall there were a few stipulations.
First off, we had to keep the area clean. That's been covered pretty well. I've noticed
many times that people keep it in the trash cans and make an effort. Remember, kids,
cleanliness is next to dogliness. If you lose interest and stop painting on the wall,
they ' ll take all of that space that you all work hard to make beautiful and paint it over.
So keep it going or it gets shut down. Isn't that about the best thing ever? It's a wall
in the world that will be painted over if people stop tagging on it (there'S always the
pesky idea of the Comm Building falling down, but I don ;t lose too much sleep over

A free market is about little more than corporatiqns accumulating higher, more
obscene profits at the expense of workers and the environment. The fundamental
aspect ofa theoretical free market is the "freedom" of businesses from government
regulations that protect workers and the'environment, or put restrictions on capital
mobilitY: "f~eedom" from public accountability.
.
.
The main objective of corporations is to make profits, which are greater when
production costs are lower. A few ways to lower production .c osts are to avoid taxes,
keep wages low, and ignore safety programs and environmental protections. In pursuit of higher profits, corpora~ions use the leverage of unregulated capital mobility
as a threat to· coerce governments into accepting looser labor and environmental
standards. If the governments don't comply, the c.o rporations threaten to move their
operations to another country that is willing to concede ~o thei~ demands. This puts
goverrunents in direct competition with each' other to provide the lowest labor and
environmenta! standards in order to attract investni.ent. One .way or another, the
. .
corporations get what they want. .
There are many other tlaws in the article, ali of which need to be rectified but
cannot be within the limited space of this article. To touch on a few: the author
rejects the word ."capitalism'~ to desciibe the current soCioeconomic system, opting
instead to' use the' benign-sounding ''free market.'~ This is blurring the subject:

The author then. corrects himself by contradicting himself, saying that "ihis

that). And isn't it awesome to be able to say that you go to a college cool enough to
have a free wall?
So thafs it, that's what it takes, just keep painting on it. And if anyone tells you
that it can't be painted on, they're lying. We've had a run in or two with the boys in
blue telling people it was closed. Luckily it was just a misunderstanding, a failure to
communicate, so to speak.
So now that I've let the cat out of the bag and you all know where it is, get your asses
out and learn to burn. Just be considerate and paint with respect. Keep the fumes down.
There are people who work there and oddly enough, they don't like the smell ofKrylon.
So keep up the good work, and if you don't do good work, keep trying until you do.

Butdo you have to impose a meal on people just to get them to engage in dialectic?
You wanna have a forum to broadcast your ideas and plans for a better society? Fine.
Leave the meals and all the other pageantry out of it. Free food should not be the deciding factor in whether or not a person chooses to let any number of ideologues push
their agendas on them . Leave your dirty work off of the dinner table. lt reminds me
of how nobody in John Gotti's home neighborhood in Queens helped put the finger on
him because he always held huge block parties for his neighbors. Maybe that's why
he was The Teflon Don .
And maybe my callousness is partially to blame. I was unaware that potlucks were
such a commonplace tradition in the Pacific Northwest. I'm from Chicago, where the
closest thing to a potluck is when you and the other guests are shot in the head and
land face down in your manicotti after you ' re the one the Don finds out was informing
the Feds.
But potlucks date back centuries in Washington. Back to an era when settlers would
organize them for native tribes to discuss their relocation to the worst land available
following the initial slaughter and plague. The first official Washington potluck was
a fundraising festival held in Seattle in 1872 by a religious women's group called the
" Ladies of the Congregational Church" in which one ofthe festivities, at what they called
the "Apron Festival," was a banquet where church members would each bring a dish
with proceeds from the festival going of course to the Congregational Church building
fund. Here is an excerpt from a transcript of the groups preparation meeting:

This summer I lived for two months in Rafah, working with the Olympia Rafah Sister

The show in Gallery Two will showcase the sculpture of
Seattle sculptor Scott Fife. For the last decade Scott has been
making precise dynrumic cardboard constructions of ordinary ,
objects and portraits of historic and contemporary icons. Mr.
Fife has shown at e.O.e.A., The Esther Claypool Gallery, and
at Galerie Redmann in Berlin, Germany. One of his largerthan-life sculptures of a baseball catcher adorns the Mariners
Stadium and he just had a show at the prestigious Bodybuilder
and Sportsman Gallery in Chicago.

So now that you know where potlucks come from, I urge you to boycott them. Yes,
boycott them. For one thing, they're founded on times of murder and bloodshed and
worse than that, heavy religion. Do your social betterment with the rest of us : at the
bar. Otherwise stay home and cook an actual meal. Need any more on that?

In Gallery Four, San Francisco artist Rebecca Szeto
will show steel wool wall installations, drawings and small
sculpture in an exhibition titled ''Neje"ious.'' Ms. Szeto uses
unconventional materials such as rust and steel wool to create
srumpled images that play with the notions of beauty, value
and aura.
There will be a public reception for the artist in the galleries
on November 13, 5 - 7 p.m. for Rebecca Szeto.

Mary-Ellen: Oh Eleanor, won't Father Murphy be overjoyed when he sees the decoration we made for the morrow's festival!
Eleanor: Amen, ·darlin'. I'm so glad the other girls decided against going to that
Battle of Little Big Horn protest to help us out. Sure was a good idea you had havin'
folks bring their own food items instead of all of us cookin' it ourselves. It was just
pot luck thinking of that.
Mary-Ellen: Less money the Church has to spend for food, the more raised for ~he
Lord! We should call it a "potluck" dinner seein' as how it involves no preparatIOn
or purchase. Why maybe a hundred or so years from now, broke, half-wasted college
students will have them every week for their church groups!
Eleanor: Oh that would be lovely Mary-Ellen! Oh, say, by the way, I found a wonderful place to start Microsoft.

Lee's New Rule of the Week: Soup is not food. I don't care what anyone says.
Soup is like food's last chance to get eaten. It only becomes food once you throw it
away. I don't trust soup on the whole; no more than I trust stew. The reason we're
wasting so much food in this country is too many people ordering soup beforehand. It
fills you up, sure, but twenty minutes later, you're back to where you started. For one
thing, my body doesn't always know where to let soup out once it's through me. I say
soup is screwing us up as a people. What do we feed the homeless in shelters? Soup!
No wonder we can't feed the poor! We're giving them appetizers!

Log Hog Makes Politics Fun!
by StepnaOJe BroOks

.'

Wednesday, November 5, at the
Barcode downtown, there appeared
a Hip Hop group who called themselves Log Hog. There's plenty
of stigma surrounding the venue.
They've been hailed around town for
harboring the nightmare of mass consumer culture. I put Barcode on my
list ofleast likely to have a good time
in. Log Hog changed my view.
When my roommate invited
me there for a Hip Hop show, ]
decided to go because the school
paper needed a review of the bars
in downtown Olympia for our Arts
and Entertainment section. My plan
was to try the drinks, talk to the bartenders, and find some redeeming
quality to write about. Fortunately
Log Hog's ingenious entertainment
saved me from writing entirely on
the bar itself.
Log Hog is a musical group
that has about seven years of history (primarily in Ellensburg, WA),
twelve recorded albums that include
members who have gone on to different projects. Log Hog can aptly be
described as The Beastie Boys with a
conscience. They use an ironic blend
ofhumQr and politics in each oftheir
songs to stimulate thought and laughter usually about the Bush administration's obvious double standards. I
found their comedic display of hypermasculinity as something that every
American can relate to. The chant

Port Angeles poet, Zac Garripoli has convened a program of
diverse local talents that he calls and encomium to the Earth - our
mother - for a Saturday night performance. An encomium is a
gathering of praise, and Garripoli has enlisted voices from the fields
of poetry, music, drama, and visual art. The evening is sparked by
the question and challenge, "Will the trees remember?"
Garripoli is widely appreciated on the Peninsula for his dramatic
recitation style and his poignant and emotional themes. Joining
Zac in speaking verse will be Alice Derry ad John-Joseph Pajor.
Derry is a familiar and influential voice both as a poet and longtime teacher at Peninsula College, where she is a driving force
behind the Foothills Poetry series. Pajor, who recently relocated
in Port Angeles, draws on three decades of poetic musings about
the fortunes of our fragile environment.
The three poets' metered words will be complemented by Women
On Drums, an eclectic group of West End and PA percussionists who
draw upon the prellterate traditions of aboriginal cultures. Two selfaccompanied young Port Angeles-based singers/songwriters, Raven
and Otter, round out the musical progrrum with their original ballads.
A large canvas backdrop by Gina Pallardi will define a mural stage
for the performers. Interspersed between the music and the poetry,
Kaneo Joye's shadow puppet theater brings alive a choreography
drawn from Native American myths and legends.
Admission is FREE! This event will take place on November 15
at 7 p.m. at the Port Angeles Fine Arts Center, 1203 E. Lauridsen
Blvd., Port Angeles.

choice" is one I'd like to take to all
my political activities. These artists
aren't just preaching to the choir;
they're rapping to the masses. In
this way I find the Barcode a strategic location for penetrating ideas.
As we are all aware, the genre
of Hip Hop is primarily comprised
of Black artists with the occasional
breakthrough artists that surround
themselves with controversy. All of
Log Hog's band members are white
males (an honest representation
of the diversity here in the Pacific
Northwest). When I asked one of
the band members how he felt being
a minority in a predominately Black
musical movementhis response was
simply that he "felt honored." Read
into that what you will. What I see
in this band is the drive to stimulate
thinking about politics. ] can't think
of a better genre of music to shout
out some common sense.
Log Hog has quickly made i~self
my new favorite local band. With two
of the four musicians living here in
Olympia, I look forward to hearing
much more from them. WashPIRG,
along with other student groups on
crumpus, is hoping to bring this group
to Evergreen. Keep your eyes open
for your chance to participate in the
politics of fun.
~ Ifyou'd like to contact this group
yourself, you can e-mail them at

Many students have traveled to Israel and Palestine', or work on various projects
in the community to promote justice and peace in,the Middle East. November 9-13
were national days of action against the wall (The Berlin Wall fell on November 9,
1989). Several groups in the community will be sponsoring events to educate about
the consequences of this wall on both Israelis and Palestinians.
SESAME (Students Educating Students About the Middle East), an Evergreen
student group, erected a wall in the library lobby on November 9. The wall was up
on Monday and Tuesday, November 10 and 11. There were other activities centered
around the library lobby sponsored by other community groups.
For more information about the separation wall, visit http://www.btselem.org/
or http://www.globalexchange.orgl. SESAME welcomes everyone to get more
involved with organizing and educating on campus.

. The Matrix Revolutions
If there's one important caveat that can be applied to the science fiction genre of film. it's
that true sci-fi films are composed of ideas, not action. Once this is lost, what you're left with
is just action/fantasy. Andy and Larry Wachowski's Matrix trilogy seems to have forgotten
that, if they ever had it in the first place, that is. You'lI notice I said true sci-fi is composed of
ideas and not good sci-fi. That's because you can still make an impressive movie with great
effects if you choose to sacrifice good ideas.
What I can't abide is when a film uses interesting moral and philosophical ideas as a rubric
for action sequences. That's essentialIy what I, having watched hopefully the final film in this
series, have concluded it was really about. It's tragic and somewhat paradoxical that because
it goes against The Law of Movie Trilogies to keep setting up the characters' universe with
more ideas even into the third and final act, there is nothing left to do but watch the action
play out as a conclusion. In other words, the Wachowski brothers could have kept in with the
curious philosophical spirit that technically made the first Matrix the best, but it would have
cost them much of their audience.
And so, The Matrix Revolutions winds up a victim of its own device, revealing itself as
action and not science fiction. Though unimaginably successful beyond the makers' wildest
dreams, the Matrix trilogy will no doubt be remembered for its technical virtuosity and little
else. That's because with so many imitators, spoofs, and knock-offs, the source material has
been sapped of its wonderment. This presents an almost insurmountable challenge to any
director: to rise above the all hype and doppelgangers and still manage to top their previous
~fforts. The result is a concluding chapter that feels more like self-parody than ever with banal,
spare dialogue, unnecessary subplots and a battle sequence that's so excessive it seems like
the only thing missing is the kitchen sink.
But once again, it's a marvelous marriage of cutting-edge special effects and live action,
brilliantly realized and so over the top that I needed an Excedrin after it was over. Revolutions
picks up directly where Reloaded left off following the ongoing battle with the malevolent
cyberintelligence which has begun to invade the territories miles below Earth using millions
of octopus-looking machines and huge and unapologetically phallic drill. The rebels in
these territories (which look like they still are ultimately run by machines) gear up to defend
the last of the human race in the vast city of Zion (which I'm still convinced mayor may not
be a Matrix itself).
Meanwhile, Neo is somehow trapped in a yet another facet ofthe Matrix: a train station that
connects it to the real world. In a series of scenes involving the Oracle (played in this film
by Mary Alice due to the death of the great Gloria Foster), Neo learns his purpose and what
he will have to do. And naturally there will be a climactic final showdown with Agent Smith
and his millions of clones. While a fight sequence like this should be the reason enough to
see this movie, in actuality, it didn't hold up to some of the fight scenes in the other movies
for me. While I don 't understand why or how many of the things in this climactic showdown
happen the way they do, I do know that what makes the fights in this series work is their blatant
refusal to be grounded in any sense of realism.
But this fight goes too far. Because of the inevitability of having to up the ante each time,
we've lost all that made the other fights (and the movies themselves) enjoyable. It's fun to
watch the characters bend the rules of gravity a little, jumping off walls and flying in short
bursts. There's a gunfight early on in Revolutions that gets it right, with the villains walking
onthe ceiling (even though I think I saw a few recycled moves) . It's another thing when they
break those rules, not limited by anything. Thus, the aesthetic richness and beauty of the
previous fight scenes are gone here. Remember the kinetic imagination at work in the fight
with the clones in Reloadecl? Here, it 's been replaced by a fight scene with no boundaries
and no tension. I really liked the highway sequence in the last film because it demonstrated a
meticulous and precise design and choreography as well as a blend of effects and stunts and
was genuinely exciting. The action setpieces in Revolutions feel more like a giant video game.
A grand effect. A fight like this has never been made in a movie before and now I know why.
And it isn't just because it wasn't technically possible.
Another problem is Keanu Reeves. We've seen' such an arc in a character who in the first
film was discovering a whole new universe. His low tone of voice was right for that film and
wrong for this one. Given what Neo has to realize and accomplish, shouldn't he speak up a
bit? Shouldn't he carry the action bit more confidently? I wasn ' t buying it.
Watching some of the scenes in the finale of The Matrix Revolutions, I felt like I was watching porn: mildly guilty, like Iwas seeing something that [ shouldn't have been seeing. It's a
payoff that's been bought by the setup. We feel like we were only introduced to the ideas of
the Matrix so that the action later on can go on as long as it wants and be as utterly ridiculous
as possible. Even though the philosophy of the The Matrix is a watered down, sort of Cliff
Notes one, it still had some weight and is a good formula for a story. But personally, I think it's
a bit insulting to place tantalizing philosophical ideas on the table and then abandon them for
action. Plus with all hype, there were such high expectations for the followup; even the most
ignorant moviegoer has a problem with something in this movie. That might have something
to do with the fact that there was a four-year intermission between the first two films. With
the intermission prior to the third film being only seven months, Revolutions feels tacked on
even though it was part of the Wachowskis' vision from the beginning.
I still believe the Wachowskis are talented filmmakers even ifthey have painted themselves
into a comer with these movies. They know what audiences want to see. Their effects, particularly in this film, are nothing short of astonishing. This can't be overlooked. There are good
things here. Hugo Weaving is delightfully devious as Smith, the intricacies of the underground
caverns of Zion are sharply detailed and any scene with Monica Bellucci is a treat. But while
their trilogy might be a little smarter and more literate than most action movies, it ends on
a sour note and not a moment too soon. Though it lacks the curiosity and spirit of the first
film and great action sequences of the second film, it comes to an appropriate if not entirely
satisfying end. If you can stand the barrage of tactics The Matrix stole from John Woo and
his ilk, and dialogue that masks its weakness in ambiguity, The Matrix Revolutions is worth
the price of admission. Just pray we don't see The Matrix Revisited.

Simon and Garfunkel
tour as "Old Friends"
by RAnafR ROlOIIs
It was the moment when everything I'd ever learned about life,
beauty, and good collided together with Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel
on the stage in front of me. (Sorry to sound melodramatic, but it's true.)
First, the pre-concert details. I went with my sister, and we found an excellent parking spot about two blocks from the Seattle Center (the concert was
at the Key Arena). We got there super early so we grabbed a bite to eat,
then with about an hour before the show we decided to get in line. Outside,
there were a couple of what I call "sandwich board Christians." While the
thousands of people waited in line to see the show, the sandwich-boarders
called dramatically back-and-forth to one another, "Wasn't that song, 'Mrs.
Robinson,' about the sin of adultery?"
Once inside, we headed for the lines - yes, the merchandise lines. Between
cost of the tickets and all the paraphernalia, I could have bought myself a
top of the line digital camera, an average-quality PC, or nearly a full quarter
of Evergreen credits. (Thanks to my parents for the loan!)
We got to our seats about twenty minutes before the show's scheduled
beginning. They started late, of course, but that was fme by me - I just got
more excited.
When the pair finally got on stage - lanky Art Garfunkel with his big curly
strawberry-blond hair, wearing blue jeans, a white t-shirt, and a black vest,
and little 5'2" Paul Simon to his left, w.ith black jeans and a short maroon
t-shirt - I couldn't breathe. I guess that's what they call hyperventilation.
I was standing up and clapping my hands as though I were trying to bring
Tinkerbell back to life, and gasping for breath and holding back tears (they
were right there in front of me!) as they took their classy bows and began
to sing "Old Friends."
Here, I should digress for the sake of the non-hardcore Simon and
Garfunkel fans to say that until recently the two had not been on good terms
for about twenty years. I don't know the details, but apparently they decided
to patch things up before it got too late. So this reunion tour was a huge deal
for the music world - especially for people two to three times my age.
After "Old Friends," they continued with "Bookends" - just like on the
album. After that, I can't clearly remember what order of the songs, but
they played all the good ones - "The Sound of Silence" (with a beautiful
guitar solo to open), "America" (quite a tear-jerker for my sister and me),
"Mrs. Robinson" (after showing classic clips from The Graduate), "Parsley,
Sage, Rosemary, and Time" (minus the anti-war element for some reason),
and "The Boxer." They sang their first single, a silly little ditty from a time
when they were called Tom and Jerry, called "Hey Schoolgirl." After that,
they introduced the musical duo that inspired them - the Everly Brothers!
The brothers played their hits, finishing with all four ofthem singing "Bye,
Bye Love."
Throughout the concert, the pair (although predominantly GarfunkelSimon seemed a little uncomfortable) revealed details about their time

Miles in the Sky?

by /J}l/ao May

Man, if you're gonna try to play like Miles, "you gotta be a motherfucker,"
as the man himself said. If you're tackling his post-Bitches Brew period, well,
then you really golta be a motherfucker. You either happen, or you don't.
Three ex-Miles Davis sidemen almost made it happen last Wednesday
night in Seattle - yet they couldn 't quite achieve that rarefied, ominous
groove that Miles so exquisitely perfected. The sidemen - saxophonist Sonny
Fortune, bassist Michael Henderson, and tabla guru Badal Roy - were in fact
preceded by an act that tore them to pieces.
Skerik's Syncopated Taint seems much more vital and much better
equipped to put their own spin on the Miles thang. A septet (an always
challenging number of musicians), the group had a distinct feel, and they
shot their club-scene energy into the stale concert hall with all the subtlety
of a cannonball.
Skerik, the ever elusive frontman, has been sending shockwaves throughout the world of modem jazz for a few years now; his choice in sidemen, list
of credentials, and knack for composition speak volumes about his ability.
Yet his absolute command of his instrument, the saxophone, was easily his
most impressive trait that night. Ranging from Coltrane-esque modalities
to free jazz nonsense, his improvisatory approach was unbelievable, studied,
yet completely unto itself.
Sherik's cohorts were similarily singular characters. The hom/reed section had a flute/tenor/alto player, a c1arinetlbass player, a trumpeter, and a
trombonist that doubled on vintage Chick Corea-inflected keyboards. The
rhythm section was left to the spot-on backbeat drummer and the organist,
who played dirty funk bass-lines beneath Hammond B-3 swells and flourishes. The different tones of each instrument came together remarkably and
all participants were magnificently locked into the monolithic groove.
Forreal. Miles might have smiled. So, damn, it was crazy. Improvisationally
and groovalistically, Sherik's band had it all. But I had still come to see the
Miles cats. And what insane revelations I was gonna have.
Revelations, for me, have always gone down better with drugs and alcohol, so I puffed down with my friends and shotgunned a couple of glasses
of wine during the set break. Yeah, I was feelin' it, getting ready to dig on
a heavy dose of that Miles flavor.

bY Brian F/ewell
Despite partly clouded skies last Saturday
night, the last lunar eclipse of the year went on
without us. To those who waited patiently to
catch a fleeting glimpse of the eclipsed moon,
we were rewarded with one ofthe most beautiful
sights the heavens have to offer. As I watched
from the soccer fields of Evergreen, the clouds
rolled in front of the moon, obscuring it from my
view for the majority of my night. As my watch
rolled to 7 :00 p.m., the clouds parted for a brie f
minute and I saw the moon slowly leaving Earth 's
shadow. The moon 's edge glowed dimly in dark
shades of red. I have read reports and have ?een
pictures from around the globe that showed th e
moon during totality. Thi s eclipse sent to moon
to the bright shades of copper red. If yoLi didn ' t
catch thi s year 's eclipses, notto worry I We'lI get
another chance on OCtober 28 , 2004.
So why do we see the moon in shades of red?
Why does it not just fade to black like the sun does
during a solar ecl ipse? The Earth's atmosphere
bends light,just a prism does . This is why sunsets
and sunrises are shades of red and orange. These
sunrises and sunsets happen twenty-four hours a
day around the globe, and when the Sun, Earth,
and Moon line up, this eternal sunset/sunrise is
projected on to the moon, turning our normally
white companion into a copper gem.

This next week will be very interesting. If
Sunspot 486 (see "Corona, Aurora, Eclipses,
Oh My!", November 6, page 7, for a more indepth description), which caused the aurora
borealis to travel southward to viewers in the
United Stc;ltes, has survived its trip around the
far side of the sun; it will again turn earthward
on November 17. This could mean more aurora
sightings in the States. Check out the web site
http://www.SpaceWeather.com/for information
regarding these events and if we're going to be
expecting this heavenly visitor.
I n case the sunspot fizzles to nothingness
before it rotates toward us, Mars is still visible
in the southeast skies. Venus will be rising higher
in the southwest sky early in the evenings, shortly
after sunset. Venus is rather hard to miss : it will
be the brightest object in the southwest.
One last thing : For observers who enjoy
standing or sitting outside for hours on end, the
Leonid meteor shower will peak on the evening
of November 18 - 19. The estimated meteor rate
is approximately 100 meteors per hour; from
Washington, however, don't expect much more
than 50 per hour tops. The peak will be at 11:27
p.m ., but hard-core observers should head out
an hour beforehand and stay an hour after. The
radiant will be from the East, so that's where you
should look. Happy viewing!

Journey to the TOP
by Daniel Steiner
It's strange for me to look back upon
trekking up a seemingly vertical , monotonous, snow-covered trail, cramming
myself into a tent the size of a vacuum
cleaner with two other people, trying to
sleep through twenty-five degree weather,
and be able to claim that, in the end, I had a
great time. But on November I and 2, TOP
(The Outdoor Program) led ten people,
including myself, on what I like to consider a mini-mountaineering Expedition
on Mt. Stone, one of the numerous peaks
of the Olympic range. And I had a phenomenal time. Granted, the trip wasn 't
so much an Expedition as a two-day long
learning trek, but Expedition is a bigger
word that makes me feel bold and exciting,
so I will continue to use it.
The TOP office is large and warm and
is a great place to get to know everyone
going on a trip with you. This is where
most bartering and loaning occurs, and
where the aura of excitement bui Ids. The
spirit is enough to wake and invigorate
even the most tired part of your body, so
much so that you want to scale the CRC
with an ice axe just to be able to say, " I'm
hardcore!" After a few minutes of gathering our things together and trading gaiters
and flashlights, toothpaste and synthetic
layering, we loaded up the van and began
to discuss our plans.
Before I go on, I should say a few
words out of technicality and blatant

advertising for TOP (who, like most other
. groups, aren't funded nearly as much as
they should be, wink wink). What's great
about TOP is how inexpensively anyone
can get all of this necessary gear and go
on trips, and how accessible these trips
are . For example, this particular excursion only cost $45 per person, whereas
any other guided trek up a mountain
would cost $200-$2,000, depending on
length and difficulty. What's also great is
that TOP staffers are most often Greeners,
just like yourself and are just as excited
and invested in a trip as you are. You ' re
paying, basically, for the provisions (such
as the van, the climbing harnesses and carabineers, etc.), great friends to travel with
on staff (aww), and furthering the existence of such a great program. And if you
think "I can 't go, I don 't have any of that
weird outdoor gear," let me let you in on a
little secret: the ECO, Evergreen 's equipment check out resource, located on the
first floor of the CRC, can be ultra cheap
and ultra cool. If you hold a TOP pass or
are going on a TOPtrip, you automatically
receive a 50% discount on rentals from the
ECO; I rented my ice-axe, a three-person,
four-season tent, a.sleeping pad, gaiters,
and ski/trekking poles for $9.50. $9.50!
It doesn 't get any better.
I also mentioned earlier how accessible

Evergreen women's crew:

Evergreen Kung Fu Returns With Victory in Tenino

"We are strOH, beautiful wottte.,!N
by Kayla Humiston
Sunrise, splash, muscle, sweat, unity,
invigorating, challenging, rewarding, painful , emotional, exhausting, empowering,
demanding, motivation, laughter, beautiful women. These are some of the words
you will hear when you ask the Evergreen
women 's crew to describe their experiences thus far.
The women's rowing team has been
practicing in the Campus Re.creation
Center and down at the water for almost
two months now. This is the fourth
year there has been a crew program at
Evergreen and each year the program has
gained more support, which in turn allows
the school to be more competitive against
other schools.
Finishing up the fall season with a
huge race in Seattle, the women in the two
novice 8-seaters and varsity 4-seater boats
have been hard at work. For the past three
weekends they have competed in different
events, and they have been winning.
In many sports, a matter of seconds
won't make much of a difference. In the
world of rowing, it's the difference between
a gold and silver medal. Two weeks ago,
Evergreen 's novice A boat took the gold
home, smashing their competition by nine
seconds! The race was 4,000 meters long
(about 2 1/2 miles), against two division
10 fully funded programs: University of
Portland and University of Oregon. The
novice B boat played fourth, followed by
University of Oregon's novice B boat.
Evergreen 's varsity women placed third
in their race, only three seconds behind

bv Mark Germano and Andy Cyders

University of Oregon.
Led by coach Aaron Starks, the
women's crew has been building boat
speed, technique, and confidence in their
rowing capabilities each morning. Practice
starts at 6 a.m., a deterrent to some, but to
others it's the best part. Spohomore Carrie
Stellplug comments, " It's [the] most intimate and beautiful part of the day."
Linnea Rothenmair, first-year, adds, "the
best parts of crew are the sunrise, seeing
the mountains, and feeling the movement
and pressure ofthe water through the boat.
Also, when we really start going ... it's
impossible to think about anything at all
- just listen to all the sounds of the sliding
seats - and we are all breathing so hard that
it sounds like we are yelling [because] it
all comes out at the same time, and then
the oars turn and splash in the water - it is
such a beautiful song! "
There are also the challenging parts of
rowing. Raechel Wolcott, first-year, say s
the hardest part is "getting up at five in the
morning when it 's still dark outside and
about thirty degrees. going down to the
water where it's even freakin ' colder and
picking up a heavy-ass boat! But once I get
out there I remember why I'm doing it. '·
Now that they have fall races under
their belt, the team will soon start training
for the spring racing season. Whereas fall
races are long distances, such as the 4K,
spring races all consist of 2K pieces. The
time between fall and winter is a good

Some things change and some things
stay the same.
On Saturday and Sunday at the
Washington State National Tournament
of Champions in Tenino some of the
faces of Bak Shaolin Eagle Claw Kung
Fu had changed, but the results were the
same. Thirteen competitors from Team
Evergreen and the Olympia and Seattle
branches combined to earn 25 trophies .
Most of the competitors faced higher
levels of competition against more experienced fighters, and as per usually the
Eagle Claw fighters showcased their
ability to hit hard and score points despite
bias judging.
National team members Sam Haskin,
Owen O'Keefe, and Jesse Harter blazed
through their opposition, delivering swift
and devastating strikes in every match.
In addition, Devon Waldron and Andrew
Bresnik, who made their first appearances
at the black-belt level, stunned their opponents and the crowd by displaying good
speed and strong techniques.
In the black-belt lightweight division, Mark Germano, also competing
at the black-belt level for the first time,
dominated the competition and earned
second place against nationally ranked
fighter Mike Reglatti.
Andy Cyders, competing at the intermediate level for the first time, placed
third after being penalized for excessive
contact.
Laura Garber, a student of former
Evergreen alum Jessie Smith, placed
third after being disqualified for excessive
contact. Her matches were punctuated by

her opponents taking dramatic dives to
the floor.
Smith, a nationally ranked competitor, also coached several newcomers to
victories over the weekend.
Brietta Krome and Stephanie
Eichsteadt earned first and second place
respectively
in
their
beginner
continuous
ring .
In
add ition,
Heidi Aller,
fighting
in her first
tournament,
in the 15-17
age group,
was moved
up
from
beginner to
intermediate,
and fought ·
her way to
third place.
Ken
Allen, one of O'Keefe's
tough, up-and-coming fighters, fought two
spirited fights, but was also disqualified for
excessive contact to the face. He earned
a third place finish in the 30-40 year old
men's beginner division.
.
Sunday's action was highlighted by
the team's dominance of the point sparring rings.
In the black-belt heavyweight division, the fighters once again showed their
abilities, blowing away their opponents

with lightning fast kicks and punches.
Haskin fought all the way to second place,
finishing behind nationally ranked point
fighter Marty May. Bresnik, in his first
appearance in the black belt point sparring
division, finished in a close third.
In black-belt lightweight point sparring Germano met up with Reglatti once
again.
This time
Germano
. dominated
the
ring
with speed
·and range .
After beating Reglatti,
Germano
defeated
former
Evergreen
Tea m
Captain
K e v i n
Barrett for
the championship.
In the
intermediate
point sparring ring, Cyders fought well,
and earned third place despite scoring head
kicks against both finalists. "
In the women's intermediate division,
Garber channeled her energy into speed
and precision. She fought brilliantly,
earning first place in intermediate point
sparring.
Coach Smith's talented and welltrained beginners displayed the same
fast, determined fighting. Eichsteadt and
Krome earned first and second, respec-

tively, in beginner point sparring. Aller
earned second in the 15-17 year old girls
division after nearly incapacitating her
opponent in the championship round.
In the 30-40 year old men's beginner
point sparring ring, Ken Allen earned third
place.
In all forms divisions, Team Evergreen
was dominant, as they have been consistently throughout their competition history.
In the advanced soft fomis division,
Bresnik and Germano showed why they
are the Evergreen co-captians. In a close
decision, Germano won first place, with
Bresnik coming in second.
In advanced hard style forms, Barrett

TOP trips are: unless noted otherwise,
literally anyone is welcom e to go. For
example, let's get back to the story: I had
never been "mountaineering" before this
past weekend, I had never rock climbed,
I had probably never hiked over a 2,000
foot elevation gain in a single day. Also, I
weigh just over 260 Ibs (that's 310 Ibs with
a 50 pound pack.on) and stand 6' 2" ... I'm
a big guy, so obviously gravity and I aren't
the best of friends. Put me on an ungodly,
relentlessly steep trail , such as the one that
climbs 2,600 feet in under two miles to
Lake of the Angels from the entrance to
the Mt. Skokomish Wilerness area, and
my speed rivals the decay'of Uranium . I
was (and still am) a beginning c1imber/
mountaineer/lumberjack, what have you.
This is why having a solid group of
people with you is important in any strenuous activity. They support you and give
you advice, and teach you things that you
didn't know existed.
The trail up to Lake ofthe Angles (con-

tinuing to Mt. Stone), again, is very steep,
but provides some good experience for a
beginning climber. Although not technical
by any real means, there are some hairy,
fifte en-foot scrambles that can result in
you flying head first down the mountain.
Some basic exercises are good to practice
in these spots, such as pack passing, basic
climbing and footholds, and, if snowy
or treacherous enough, minor rope-work
(namely hand-lines). But what this trail
lacks in technicality it more than makes
up for with solid endurance building. It
is almost an unbroken climb from bottom
to top, full oftight traverses and rock-hobbling galore. It's important not to look up,
because it never ends this way; even if it
looks like it's finally starting to even out,
the route runs right into another three- or
four-hundred-foot icy mound that must
be traversed. But I suppose I should stop
complaining: after all, the nature of mountain climbing is climbing mountains.
Lake of the Angles made it all worthwhile . As fun as it may have been, it got
cold, twenty- five degrees cold, and it

seemed a chore to do anything ; even the
necessities like cooking and eating and
sleeping seemed obnoxious and impossible .. . as my tent-mate David said, it's
counterintuitive to actually want to camp
out in the snow, eat in the cold, and go
back into your tent, only to be cold again.
Why would anyone do it out of free will ?
Most of the satisfaction comes from the
fact that you ' re doing what only a few
people dare to do. You get to tell yourself
how hardcore you are.
Morals of the Story :
• Go check out TOP, you won 't be disappointed. First floor of the eRe.
• If you dare, joumey the Whitehorse trail ,
up Mt. Stone to lake of the Angles and
beyond to Mt. Stone's tippidy-toppidy peak.
101 N. to Hamma Hamma recreation area
(about an hour and a half from Olympia),
Left onto Hamma Hamma, about eight miles
(?) to the trai lhead on your right.
• Journey is a bad, bad, band, but we can
all agree that they are a pinnacle of '80s
cheese-rock .

Simon & Garfunkel continued from page 12

Dark, myster ·ous, charismatic
Flauntin a heavy accent
The stereotypical foreig er
Sleek, swift, sexy, and lusi/ul
Co urteous, devoted in nature, sensitive
Sophisticated, y ummy
Walking hard on
The sensual glide of his gait
Dark loquacious eyes
Burning into the back of my memo!),
Longing, throbbing, fulfilling
Not innocent, not anymore
Pierced by an indescribable pain
Auspiciously climaxed into ultimate euphoria

together: Garfunkel's favorite of Simon's love songs is "Kathy's Song" - and he told us
about Kathy, their friend who used to stand with them on the streets and collect money
while they sang. Simon told us that wrote his beautiful "Only Living Boy in New York"
when "A rtie" left for Mexico to film Catch-22.
Simon characterized their relationship thusly : "Artie and r met when we were twelve,
started playing music together when we were thirteen . Got in our first argument when
we were fourteen. " It garnered laughs from the audience, and from the two of them . .
Special moments included: a really rockin' electric version of "Hazy Shade of Winter" ;
Simon's vocals on " I Am a Rock" ; Garfunkel 's unapologetic vocals throughout the
evening; the pair singing two of Simon 's solo songs; the guilt I felt hearing Simon sing,
"Tonight I'll sing my songs again, I'll play the game, and pretend ... " And the number
one special moment: I saw Paul Simon's tummy when he reached up to do something
dramatic with his hands during a song.
They ended with " Bridge Over Troubled Water" - arguably their most emotional song.
There was no way the audience would let them get away with that. After they exited
the stage, we all kept cheering (or crying, as the case was for some of us) and clapping
as hard as we could. They came back and rejuvenated us with a great performance of
"Cecilia." They kept singing the last line over and over again: "Jubilation/she loves me
again/I fall on the floor and I laughing." It was a transcendent moment.
Then they played "Leaves That Are Green" - apparently for the first time publicly
since 1967. And then they left again, Paul Simon waving sort of half-heartedly.
But the people wanted more. So they came up for a second encore. Paul Simon said,
in his low-key way, "Thank you, thanks, I appreciate it. I do."
The last song they played was "59th Street Bridge Song" - more common Iy known
as "Feelin' Groovy. " An undoubtedly optimistic song, I had never felt so unrequited
listening to that song as I did that night. I knew that this was the end, but I joined in the
happy dancing anyway, because what else was there to do?

Miles in the Sky? continued from page 12

Back in the theater I go, and fucking Sonny Fortune and Michael Henderson are just
standing on the stage, waiting to play. These guys are legends to me, right, and I can't
believe this shit. The band comes out, and the drummer sits down and hits it on the
serious one-count, a beat straight out of Jack DeJohnette's rock/funk/j azz head trip, and
it was going down. The rest of the band plunges in, Sonny wailing on sax, Henderson
bass-riffing his ass off, joining Badal Roy's ·quietly funky tables, swimming amongst
keyboard and guitar textures.
The quintet IS rocking the primo-fusion Davis/Zawinul piece "Directions." At this
point, you can nearly imagine Miles, eyes on fire, grinning demonically at this atonal
improvisation form hell. The immortal theme/melody line is retrained again and again
with solo spots abounding in between the sections. Fortune attempts his best Wayne
Shorter impression, while the guitarist whose-name-I-don 't-know-cause-I-don 't-care
muddles a stretch into McLaughlin territory.
The band is bumping. More or less. They finish "Directions" and proceed into the
highly complex "What'd I Say" from the classic Live-Evil album . The funk backbeat
is dramatically slowed down from the original item, which actually works. They are
funkin' the shit out of this tune, dig?
Funkin', funkin', funk in ' and then it all falls apart. After "What'd I say" ends, the band
just loses whatever momentum it had. A major problem is the keyboardist, a Keith Jarett
wannabe who spends way too much time in the spotlight without ever doing anything
significant. The band meanders through trad-Indian drones, a horribly botched rendition
of "Prelude" tram Agharta (in which the timid guitarist is totally unable to match the
visceral ferocity of mad genius Pete Cosey's lethal attacks), and progressively less and
less interesting jams. Using "Black Satin" as a closing number seems more like a token
gesture than anything else. And they finished their set after playing for only forty-five
minutes! If Miles had been at the helm, each fucking song would've been forty-five
minutes!
Friends, there you have it. A generation of legends blown away by a generation of
upstarts. Maybe there's some twisted cosmic humor in that, but I left the show feeling
seriously disappointed.
Fortune and Henderson 's band, Children on the Corner, could have been salvaged by
only one thing; Miles himself. He would' ve pushed the band further than it could ever
go on its own, because that was what he did . Miles pulsated at the very edge of music's
outer limits - perhaps even beyond that. No pure musician that I know of was ever willing to go where Miles went. Bent on inverting his craft so as to betray its very nature,
Miles is nothing but Miles, or fuck that even - Miles just is.
So, now I'm bumping the Filmore East shows of March 1970, reminding myself of
what that is really is. It's Corea and Shorter and DeJohnette and Airto and Holland and
of course Davis - landmarks now, fearless risk-taking improvisers then . That fat-ass
skunk-slick groove of "Miles Runs the Voodoo Down" is seeping through the speakers,
melting my mind, metamorphosing my perspectives.
Keep running that voodoo down Miles, wherever you are, ' cause your children on the
comer don't even know what voodoo is anymore.
For Simeon - a music lover.
