HIJ K-jJELBSf I "It's true that no two countries that both have a McDonald's have ever fought a war since they each got their McDonald's." Thomas Friedman of the New York Times put forth his sunny theory of globalization in the spring of 1999. Many people do not see globalization in the same positive light. A good percentage of these people attended protests in Seattle last November against the World Trade Organization (WTO). Dan McHale's solo play, "Meet Joe WTO," directed by Jay Martin, deals with one man's experiences of this event. The World Trade Organization, a major instrument of globalization, met last November in Seattle to launch a new round of trade negotiations. The conference drew thousands of protesters opposed to the negative environmental impact of many WTO decisions and the shadowy operations ofthe organization. The more radical WTO protests intended to disrupt the meetings and prevent new measures from being agreed upon by the delegates. They accomplished this aim and nothing came of the Seattle meetings. The protesters did not, however, rectify any of the wrongs that the WTO had allegedly caused. "Meet John WTO," follows the "mild-mannered liberal" on a journey to downtown Seattle, three jails and an epiphany that leaves him a "mild-mannered radical." He illustrates several characters as they relate to his experiences of late November 1999, and attempts more to explain than persuade. McHale begins his story in his office, where co-workers are organizing a trip north to the protests. Inspired by Howard Zinn's book, A People's History of the United States, he decides to join the protests. He flies up with a motley crew of idealists and undergoes rigorous training in dealing with tear gas and "direct action," meaning active protesting and refusal to cooperate with authority. His group sets up on 9th and Seneca in down­ town Seattle and literally lock their arms together to prevent separation. When the police in riot gear retaliate and tear gas starts to fly, McHale chickens out. From his sister's house south of the city he watches the late-night chaos and decides to return to help the cause. In doing so, he gets arrested, and must question his beliefs and strengthen his bonds with his fellow protesters. McHale is not an actor, but he does quite well in bringing his narrative to life. His switches from character to character do not distract from the storyline. Portraying each character in a unique and entertaining way, his insights and wry commentaries set the crowd laughing and cheering. As himself, McHale remains honest and unafraid to present himself in an unflattering light. Although the play does not use any sets or other characters, a good use of light and a chair give us a feeling for riding in a plane, watching TV at home and sleeping in a jail cell. The Noh Space Theater, where McHale performs, lacks the space needed for a good performance. A little larger than a dorm room and with the audience capacity hovering around 50 seats, the issues surrounding the WTO encompass the audience and demand examination. "Meet John WTO" is worth seeing for a closer look at the actuality of the protests and the reasons behind them. "Meet John WTO"at Noh Space, 2840 Mariposa (at Florida), San Francisco.

Senators! Michelle Liggons reports:

"Most projects are ongoing and are tailored to help off-campus students with various problems about commuting, efficiency of information, involvement on campus, or any other needs. I plannned socials for the year for off-campus students. I also met with Rebecca Snider (Freshman Resource Office) to talk about possible plans for off- campus freshmen. I helped some freshmen and transfer students get involved with on campus activities and helped with various commuting problems. In addition I conducted small surveys and asked several of my constituents questions that reflected their needs and whether or not these needs were met. Also, I have been in contact with other universities in comparing their off-campus programs with ours. Finally, for future plans, I'm planning on building a website for off-campus students to efficiently receive and send information from one another, and I'm also in the works of creating a commuter council that would assist off-campus students with their issues, questions, and concerns. Ifyou would like to be involved please contact me.

Jasmine Taylor, your On Campus Representative Writes:

Hi Everyone! This month I have been working on relaying information between the Office of Residence Life and ASUSF Senate about the increasing problems with the internet connection. I have also been approached by students asking about a place to study after 12:00 each night. To assist with this situation I hope to be able to speak with the Dean of the Library as well as Plant Services to see about keeping the Parina Lounge open a couple more hours. Ifyou have any questions or concerns please let me know. Thank you Jasmine Taylor [email protected]
