Seventeen members of the Marine Life
and Water Quality program, headed by
faculty member Dave Milne, left Monday
for a five-week sojourn in Mexico. They
will be studying the tidal waters of both
the Sea of Cortez and the Pacific Ocean.
The water temperature around Baja California is only 70 degrees Fahrenheit; so
deep diving may require wet suits.
Sawdust cheese
Atsumi Ota, 26-year-old individual contract student with Willie Parsons, will
soon publish a paper called "Economic
Research in a New Protein Processing
Method, 'Sawdust Cheese' making by
Fungus".
Atsumi is a busy man, a hard man to
run down. We found him bending over a
slide in the Lab building. He was wearing the white coat of a scientist, which
he later explained was a cook's jacket.
"I don't like to spend a lot of money on
clothes for school," he confided. "I have
had a lot of jobs in the ten years I've
been in this country. Carpentry, cooking,
landscape gardening, construction work
- not very good jobs sometimes, but I

can always find one, and they're enough
to live on."
The sky is too bright, the sun behind
the clouds gives a certain eggshell-opalescence. We walk over to his residence
in the Mods. He pointed out. the maple,
alder, cottonwood, and other broad-leaf
conifers and deciduous trees along the
way. Construction workers make conversation as they shovel mud from the cement sidewalks of the Mods: "If I ever
get out of here ..." "Do you think the
beer is worth this work?"
Atsumi continues: "Washington is a
good place to produce 'sawdust cheese'.
The trees I mentioned can be chopped
finely regardless of their size: young
trees are as useful as the fully matured
hardwoods. You could grow a whole big
field of little alder shoots, mow them
down, put them through a combine. You
could put the sawdust in a closed environment, like a cellophane bag, with
chopped grain. Add phosphates, urea,
water, spores from the fungus - the
genus is Pleurotus, at the moment I
can't remember the specie name. Put it

in a dark place, wait three months, and
you'll have white stuff in with the tan
chips. This is the initial stage. Eight to
twelve months later it will have metamorphosed into usable protein. It could
be fed to secondary consumers like cattle
or used directly for human beings."
Atsumi is a modest man. His paper is
almost clear enough to be read by any
amateur consumer with a dictonary
handy, and bespeaks a beautiful concern
for his fellow-creatures. Yet he says,
"Please pardon my grammar, I have
difficulty with English sometimes."
He left us in his Mod with the letters
from the patent attorney and the chronicle of his discovery, and went out to his
construction job. "I like this construction
job as well as any job I've ever had."
Skunk cabbage
The skunk cabbage is in bloom, filling
the air with its gorgeous scent. This
yellow and green perennial would make
lovely bouquet with a trillium or two.
Take a bouquet to a friend, cut a slice of
Presto-Log to eat, and throw a leg of
lamb on the fire. After all, this is
Passion Week.

s
Position
clarified
To the Editor:
Last week's feature story on equivalencies and disclaimers was generally
quite good, but I feel that my views
were misrepresented by a quote out of
context implying that I generally favor
use of equivalencies. In fact, I disapprove of them and I was merely trying
to explain to the Cooper Point Journal
reporter how we should be using them if
we must have them at all. Let me elaborate:
There are three things equivalencies
mJpt be used for: (1) getting Evergreen
students admitted at other schools (ineluding graduate schools); (2) helping
Evergreeners to get admitted 1111d to exempt requirements at other schools; and
(3) helping to explain a student's work at
Evergreen to prospective employers.
Any system that does (1) or (2) will
4

probably do (3) also, so let's just talk
about the first two.
The College has never .decided whether it is trying to do (1) or (2). Most faculty, I suspect, think (2) is illegitimate
and impossible - that we cannot translate the Evergreen experience in such a
way as to exempt a student from university-wide, college-wide, or departmental
and major course requirements at a
place like the U. of W. A student transferring from here to there will have to
meet U. of W. requirements for graduation, and time spent at Evergreen will
be only partly useful to that end.
But we can do (1). What is needed is a
standardized list of areas of equivalency
from which a faculty member can pick. It
should not include course titles (e.g., "Introductory Calculus, General Zoology"),
but :~hould employ broader categories
(e.g., "Math, Biology"). At present, no
such list is in use, and equivalencies on
file with the Registrar range from very
narrow course titles to extremely broad
categories (e.g., "Science"). Eventually, I ,
think, it will all have to be redone in ,

order to make Evergreen transcripts
consistent and understandable.
The problem about disclaimers would
be solved by a college-approved list. If
faculty could convince the deans that a
particular offering didn't translate in
terms of the approved list of general
categories, then permission could be
granted to ask students to sign a disclaimer. Otherwise, equivalencies would
be given.
Will Humphreys

IRS arrives
To the Editor:
After polling Evergreen's new students last week, it became clear to me
how !aluable the services of the Input
Resource Senter (IRS) can be to Evergreen. The IRS arrives at a time when
the communication of thoughts, as well
as feelings, are so important to the wellbeing and direction of this institution.
For some reason I felt that the internal
Cc .,per Point Journal

and spiritual climate of Evergreen a
month ago was 56 degrees and partly
cloudy; and for "Education's Eden" that's
just a little antic~
With all this in mind I was a littie
surprised by some of the responses to
our most recent questionnaire. For example, to the question "How and when
did you hear about The Evergreen State
College (specifically)?" a large number of
students indicated that teachers, counselors and other such persons were giving
out the Evergreen story. This to me is
good news because it indicated that Ev~
ergreen is coming out of the grapevine
and into the reality of other learning institutions, (good work recruitment, publie relations, admissions and all others
into getting the word out.) But now we
know that word-of-mouth is still number
one and that the people who provide the
bulk of that are still the students at Evergreen.
By the end of the week we should
have all of the questions and responses
worked out and will make it available to
the campus community via existing
media and letters to those professionally
concerned with these issues.
I think that the responses to questions
like, "Why did you choose to come to Evergreen, and what perception do you
have of The Evergreen State College?" ·
will benefit all of us, be it just for a
reality cheek, or for some fresh ideas
and opinions about this place we call Evergreen.

Putting in a little pitch for the IRS,
we are presently working on specific
projects f9r the S&A Board, KAOS
Radio, Counseling Services, and developing a format for a "Question of the
Week". Any service like ours is limited
by its energy and creativity, and the
need for people that are energetic and
creative is understandable.
We are trying to aid responsiveness at
this institution by providing a vehicle for
standard as well as experimental methods of gathering, comparing, sharing,
publishing, and participating in the information aspects of this college. We also
provide an outlet for your questions, concerns, ideas and energies. Our office is
located directly across from the bookstore in the CAB building. Please drop in
to see what we are into; please drop by ·
and cheek us out.
Pieter Dobbins
Coordinator IRS

Security warns
To the Editor:
A few notes for the public starting
with hitchhiking.
Please, please be careful from whom
you accept rides. The best thing to do
would be to try to make sure that the
driver is a student. If you can't or don't

want to do this. listen to your instincts.
If anything, even the tiniest anything,
appears unkosher about the driver, pass
it up and wait a while longer. Get a copy
of reportedly undesirable rides from the
Women's Center and try to remember
them. Never get in the back seat of a
two-door auto and try to hitch in pairs.
Everybody knows these things - now if
everybody would adhere to them. Better
yet, take the bus whenever possible.
We'd also like to remind the dorm
residents of a few things; at least those
who own ears.
1) The handicapped parking space in
the dorm loop is a clearly' posted prohibited zone. Nobody, except the acknowledged handicapped, should park
there. It is a tow-away zone so be careful.
2) All the rest of the dorm loop is for
fifteen minute parking only. It is, as is
the dorm plaza, also a tow-away zone. In
the future we will be enforcing these
laws more rigorously.
Last of all, we're going to ask the college community to report anything and
everything that even looks suspicious to
the Security Office. Once again, rely on
your instincts. If somebody or something
doesn't look right to you- call us! We'll
try to cheek it out.
If the people would do this, I feel that
incidents of vandalism, theft, and assault
could be easily cut in half.
r
Thank you CPJ and thank you people.
Mack Smith

Guest commentary

By Patrice Scoggins
"The proper sphere for all human beings is the largest and
highest which they can attain.'' This quotation from Harriet
Mill could be the cornerstone upon which the Women's Art
Festival has been built. The Festival is promising to provide
an arena for women who have been and are striving to attain
this sense of high quality in their work and in their lives.
However, not only will the Festival provide a week's space
for outstanding women artists to display their work, it has
also encompassed five months of tedious but rewarding efforts on the part of no less than 25 dedicated women (and a
few fine men) who have created this thing called the Women's
Art Festival.
We have been working very hard insuring ourselves and
everyone involved that the week of the Festival will be exciting and successful. At the same time, we have been equally
concerned with the way the Festival bas been created and
organized. In other words, not only has the end result been
important but the means by which we reached that end has
been crucial.
Most of the women involved in the Festival are feminists,
and therefore adhere to the philosophy that we, as women,
do not merely want a piece of the old society but a portion of
the new. Therefore, inherent in the idea of a Women's Art
Festival have been new philosophies of personal relationships,
organization, and responsibility. We have attempted (and I
feel succeeded) in making the structure of our organization a
collective one.
AprO 11, 1974

There has been no coordinator (as was mistakenly reported
in the CPJ last week), but instead we all acted as facilitators
to areas of special responsibilities while keeping the group informed of our activities. The group collective knew all aspects of the Festival planning, and therefore no one person
had an unbearable amount of responsibility.
This was more difficult to accomplish than it might sound,
when you remember that none of us knew any of the intricacies of planning a week-long festival, that we were all raised
believing in individualism, that we were never taught as
women to work together or organize together, and were very
concerned with the end result and therefore sometimes momentarily willing to compromise ideals for a good product.
Through it all, we have made lasting friends and grown
considerably as women and as people. We have come to view
the Festival as a five-month-long experience in realiZing concepts and philosophies of life. We have been involved in a
process of events that we, as women, feel have tested our
concepts of feminism and traditional self-images. We envisioned a goal and were forced to develop skills to achieve it.
Not only did we deal with the concepts of sexism, racism,
equality and artistic expression, but we dealt with people
who experience these concepts as realities.
Next week all our efforts will be culminated with the
events, people and discussions that the festival brings to
campus. We are all excited and feel very good about ourselves and our involvement in this promising event. We hope
you all enjoy the Festival, so do come and help us celebrate!

SuspeCt 'lheld 1n

of Everg.r een stu
BY BRAD POKORNY

A 20-year-old Tacoma man is being
held without bail at Thurston County
jail, in connection with the Sunday evening rape of an Evergreen student. The
suspect, Steve Hopkins, was apprehended
in The Evergreen State College modular
housing area around 8 p.m. Sunday by
Thurston County Sheriffs deputies after
a dramatic escape attempt involving two
patrol cars, a leap from a moving auto,
and a short foot chase by officers with
drawn guns.
According to Campus Security sources,
the victim said she was hitchhiking near
the intersection of Kaiser and Mud Bay
roads between 6:30 and 6:50 Sunday evening, when she was given a ride by a
man in a brown Plymouth station wagon.
She was taken to a secluded area near
campus, threatened by the suspect who
said he would "break her neck" if she did
not comply, and raped. Soon after her release by the assailant she was picked up
by an Evergreen faculty member who
drove her to campus and assisted her in
filing a complaint.
Around 7:45 p.m., deputies who were
staked out in the mods observed Hopkins
emerge from one of the dwellings and
drive off in a vehicle matching the description given by the victim. They fol-

nt

lowed, and, when Hopkins turned his car
around near motor pool, gave chase pursuing him back into the mod· parking
lot.
Hopkins jumped from his vehicle,
rolled on the ground, and attempted to
make an escape on foot. His still-moving
vehicle grazed a fire hydrant and
crashed into a light standard. Deputies
screeched their cars to a stop, halted the
fleeing suspect at gunpoint, an_c:L_~isked
him against the wall of a nearby
He was then placed in the back of a
patrol car and held until a detective
arrived, who placed him under formal
arrest.
"The cops were really excited," commented Art Moore, an Evergreen student who witnessed the sequence of
events. "When I saw they had their guns
drawn I was scared. I hoped the other
guy didn't have a gun too. The cops
shouted 'hold it right there,' just like in
the movies." Moore said Hopkins seemed
quite terrified.
Hopkins was also charged with several
traffic violations he committed during his
escape attempt.
This is the eighth reported sexual assault on an Evergreen woman in the
past two years, according to Rod
Marrom, director of Campus Security.

"It's not the county's responsibility to pay for someone's fallacy," explains Thurston County
Undersheriff Jack Crawford.
"A rape victim is asked to pay
ber own bills - that's unfair,''
says Olympia Rape Relief Coordinator Judy Prest.
"Anytime a woman complains
of a sexual attack, medical exams
should be done at state expense,''
states Deputy Prosecutor Richard
Strophy.
At issue is who gets billed for
the tests which provide medical
proof that a woman complaining
of rape has had sexual intercourse
in the previous 48-hour period.
According to Undersheriff Crawford, the victim is asked to pay
"because there have been many,
many cases where a girl submits
voluntarily and then hollers rape
. . . When they're destitute we
pay, but when they do have the
funds they should have the seHrespect to want to see that man
in jail and get an exam." Assault
victims are also required to pay
for their medical examination, he
said.
St. Peter Hospital, where the
test for sperm presence is usually
administered, refused for "ethical" reasons to reveal the test
cost, but indicated it was well below the $300 estimate of the
Sheriffs Department. St. Peter
sends the bill to the patient.
This situation is just a s~all
part of the often tense relationship between rape victims and
law enforcement agencies. According to Rape Relief worker
Prest, many rapes go unreported
because "the whole system is
geared so that the rape victim is
the suspect." Strophy points out
that rape cases present a special
problem because there is rarely
an eyewitness to confll"m the victim's story.
The victim is often unaware
that a police officer's job is to
find evidence of both the guilt
and innocen\!e of a suspect. According to Crawford, the Sheriffs
Office is committed to the effective and humane investigation of
rape complaints; but, says Crawford, if the taxpayers start paying for all these examinations
"we might as well live in Russia."

Forum

disputed

The Sounding Board became involved'
in a heated discussion of the Faculty
Forum during its April 10 meeting. Sev·
eral times the discussion verged on becoming a debate between faculty members on either side of the forum issue.
"I think the Faculty Forum, as a unified faculty voice, is the most effective
vehicle for pursuing what I believe in,"
commented faculty member Ron Woodbury. Woodbury went on to give an example of how he believed the forum was
effective. "We would never have had a
DTF (disappearing task force) to review
the Faculty Handbook if the Faculty
Forum hadn't existed."
"We already have the machinery to do
what the Faculty Forum is now trying to
do, and to start a wildcat operation like
this runs entirely contrary to what we've
been trying to put together here at Evergreen," said faculty member Willi Unsoeld. Unsoeld pointed to the Sounding
Board as an example of a faculty,
student and staff body that could fulfill
the Forum's function. Unsoeld objected
to the exclusive, faculty only, nature of
the Faculty Forum.
Chuck Nisbet defended the openness
of the Faculty Forum, mentioning that
students and staff were allowed to
attend Forum meetings and participate
in discussions.
Evergreen student Erik Leroi, who
put the item on the agenda, left the
meeting feeling the Evergreen commun·
ity was becoming a series of diverse
groups. "My feeling is right now that we
are well on the way of losing the Evergreen ideal."
Next week's Sounding Board agenda
includes further discussion of the Faculty
Forum and also policy on equivalency
disclaimers.

Art removed

days earlier by Doug Kahn, produced six
complaints of bad taste in 36 hours, according to Carnahan.
Kahn, Evergreen's exhibitions coordinator, immediately charged Carnahan
with abuse of authority for removing the
art works.
In reconstructing the sequence of
events leading up to the controversial
removal, the Journal has learned that
the Visual Environment Group (VEG),
volunteer committee, approved only part
of the exhibit before it was placed in the
Library. Three disputed pieces were not
approved prior to the exhibit. Kahn has
not commented on why they were not
shown to the VEG; however, be did
show the three pieces to the majority of
the VEG after the controversy arose,
and the group then approved them for
the exhibit.
At issue in the disagreement are two
apparently conflicting Evergreen practices regarding visual exhibits. One is a
precedent that VEG has in the past reviewed and approved exhibits displayed
by the college, although no official authority has ever conferred on the group.
At the same time, Carnahan has on occasion been asked by the administration to
remove materials exhibited in the Library if be feels they might be offensive
to the public.
Immediately after the removal of the
three art pieces, Kahn demanded that a
hearing board be formed to extract a
public apology from Carnahan, and also
to recommend a policy for the screening
of art works in public places. The board
has held two previous meetings which
were declared invalid because they were
closed.
The board will meet again on the question Friday, Aprill2, at 3 p.m. Although
the meeting will be open to anyone, only
the hearing board will be allowed to
speak. For more information contact
Pearl Vincent at 866-6600.

Deanship opened
"I just thought it was obscene ... but
we need a policy," Dave Carnahan, director of the Library at Evergreen said in
explaining to a hearing board why he re·
moved two drawings and a sculpture by
Evergreen student Barbara Shelnutt
from an exhibition in the Library Februa.ry 26. The exhibit, pJaced in the

Nominations are now being accepted
for the position of academic dean, being
vacated by Byron Youtz who is rotating
back into the faculty at the end ,of
Summer Quarter. All members of the
Evergreen community are requested to
submit recommendations until April 19.

A recently formed disappearing task
force (DTF) will screen applicants.
The deanship is open to any faculty
member who will have had at least one
academic year (three quarters) experience in coordinated studies programs or
group contracts by next Fall Quarter,
and who holds no administrative position
nor has ever held an Evergreen deanship. The applicant should show strength
in the natural sciences.
Richard Alexander, chairman of the
DTF, emphasizes that people must take
care in making the nominations to be
certain that the nominated party is fully
qualified. "It's not cricket to nominate
someone who does not fill the job criteria."
Nominations should be sent to Richard
Alexander in Library rm. 2411.

Policy reviewed

WALKER ALLEN (Photo by Whitmire)
Evergreen's Registrar Walker Allen
has formed a Disappearing Task Force
(DTF) to review aU aspects of "on leave"
- the time spent by students out of college while remaining registered. The policy of former registrar Perrin Smith
allowed a student to receive a one quarter leave and then apply for quarterly
extensions. Until the DTF submits its
recommendations, Allen has instituted a
policy in· which a number of students in
"unique situations" have already been
granted up to a full year of leave time.
"The school must respond to the needs
of its students," said Allen. "I'm a true
believer in lifetime education."
The DTF, consisting of students and
faculty randomly selected, will discuss
the purpose of leaves, how long and
under what circumstances they should
be granted, and what the status of the
student on leave should be. "Questions
such as 'should the student on leave be
entitled to use of campus facilities, equipment and services?' have to be answer·
ed,"AUen said. The DTF will submit its
recommendations by the end of Spring
·,
Quarter.

Art festival
;

Music, poetry, theatre, dance, home arts, films, slide shows,
workshops, painting, crafts, and daily exhibitions - all these
activities and more will be featured at the Women's Art Festival, April 15 through 21.
All week there will be exhibitions, displays, readings, and
workshops specifically designed to give local women a chance to
display their work. Although most of the big names have been
getting attention, Trice Scoggins of the planning committee said
"the Festival itself is geared mainly toward involving campus
and community women. This is an aspect of the Festival which
has not generally received the attention it deserves."
Malvina Reynolds, well known San Francisco folk singer, will
be making her second appearance at Evergreen this year. This
time, she will not only perform, but will lead a workshop on
Wednesday, April17. Miriam Shapiro, an instructor in the Feminist Artists Workshop at the California Institute of the Artts,
will be offering a slide show, lecture and workshop titled "Education of the Young Woman Artist" on the same day.
Judy Chicago of the Feminist Studio Workshop in Los Angeles, and Alice Walker, black poet and writer, will be presenting a morning program on Friday, April 19. A slide presentation, "Great Women Artists Past and Present", will be given by
J.J. Wilson and Karen Peterson of Sonoma State College
later that day.
The plan for the festival
was originally to have a
small visual art exhibition
with speaker, but as more
women became involved in
planning, enthusiasm grew,
and a major celebration of
women and their art became
the goal.
A desperate need for funding still exists, and donations
can be made at the cashier's
office. Volunteers are also
needed to help with day-care,
watching art work, transportation and housing. Persons
interested in helping can call
the Women's Center at 8666162, Library rm. 3213.

hold a discussion, following a staged reading of her version
of Medea. Evergreen graduate Kristi Nebel directs the

Denese Livingston.
Also relating to women's roles, at 4 p.m. students Lisa
Pedersen (director), Shelly Morse, Kim White, Wendy
Kotz and Maggie Sparkman will present their production
of Calm Down Mother by Meggan Terry. The underlying
theme of this play is that anatomy may be destiny; women's bodies define their roles.
Balcony Piece, directed and written by Liz Zima, will be
presented in the Lecture Hall lobby at 7 p.m. on Thursday. This production incorporates phonetic sound and
movement to express the theme.

SAN FRANCISCO MIME TROUPE
(Photo by Cruse)

S. F. Mime coming
Next week the Women's Art Festival brings, among
others, the renowned San Francisco Mime Troupe. Their
high-energy style of theater has been exciting people all
over the country si~ce the early 60's. Founded in 1959 as
strictly a mime company, they have developed into a fullfledged drama group, drawing from silent film melodrama,
Charlie Chaplin and Max Sennett comedy and commedia
dell'arte (a renaissance Italian drama form employing acrobatics, juggling, improvisation, and frequent "asides" to
the audience).
The Troupe brings their multifarious talents to bear in
two performances. Tuesday evening at 7:30 in the Library
lobby they will perform Bertolt Brecht's The Mother, a
play dealing with the beginnings of communism in czarist
Russia, and a widowed mother's struggle to survive. The
play is serious, but the Troupe is expected to keep everyone in good spirits with their sweeping movements,
exaggerated gestures, and overcooked stereotypes. Tickets for this performance are available at the TESC Bookstore, Music Bar at South Sound, and Childhood's End at
507 S. Capitol; 50 cents students, $1.00 non-students.
Wednesday afternoon, the Troupe will perform outside,
weather permitting, indoors in the Library lobby if not.
The afternoon show will feature their own original
comedy, San Fran Scandals. It's a vaudeville-style comedy
about urban renewal, featuring a long lost son named
Baby Taptoes. The afternoon show is without charge, but
donations are needed.
Why does the Troupe use comedy to deal with serious
issues? Their philosophy is "Tragedy or realism accept evil
as inevitable. Comedy can propose an alternative and
raise energy. Hope and energy, not despair, are what
bring about change." Workshops will be held on Tuesday,
9-12 a.m. and Wednesday, 10 a.m.- 1 p.m. Sign-up sheets
are available at the Information Center, with a maximum
of 30 persons to a workshop.

BY DEAN KATZ

·· Wonder Bread helps build strong
bMies twelve ways and at least one massive corporation in another way: financially. Believe it or not, the same people
who own most of Europe's telephone
·companies, the Hartford Insurance Cor,~>oration and the Sheraton H~tels also
rnp.ke Twinkies, Ding-Dongs, H1-Hos and
Wonder Bread.
International Telephone and Telegraph
(iTT), one of the ten largest mul~i-na­
tional corporations in the world, with
rearly profits greater than the gross
national product of Portugal or (ironiclUy) Chile, plays an important part; in
!Washington State economics.
With a combined 1974 projected sales
volume of $257 million for its Washington companies, ITT ranks among the biggest and certainly the most diversified
c9mpanies doing business in the state.
· ITT began its amazing growth pattern
in 1920, selling the hottest item around
at the time: telephones. In 1972, ITT had
a gross national revenue of $8.5 billion,
twice the total expenditures of Washington State government for a two year
'period (1973-75). IT~ has ?ver 80? enterprises in 80 countnes, w1th an mternational payroll list of 437,000 employees.
Man behind aeenes
. As might be expected, one man stands
' behind most of the seeds and stems ITT
lias sprouted in its continual quest for diversity. Harold Geneen, now 63, became
president of ITT in 1959. In ~he fifteen
. years since, he has made h1mself the
· flfth highest paid executive in the United
States with an annual salary of $813,311.
Geneen has made other men rich as
• well. In 1964, Geneen had his office com; pute the number of millionaires he had
i produced. The total was 134. To be sure,
that number has multiplied many times
in the ten years since.
A recent profile of ITT and its man..gement by Business Week (11-3-73),_ a
publication not particularly know~. for !ts
liberal views, spoke of Geneen as ommpotent and omnipresent, by memo writing, by phone calls, by chairing the huge
management and planning meetings that
characterize the loose hierarchy and decision making processes of ITT.
"Few other individuals so dominate a
major American company, and few corporate management systems are so much
the creature of one man."
Since Geneen took over, ITT has acquired some 250 companies. Geneen predicts that by 1980, ITT's sales will top

$28 billion annually, not including further
mergers; an increase of almost $20
billion a year over ITT's 1972 revenues.
ITT stock, since disclosures of Watergate-related subjects, has dropped considerably. ITT Common sold for $60 a
share in early 1973. By the end of March
1973, ITT Common was selling for $22 a
share. Evidently, a distrust of ITT stock
on Wall Street is the prevalent mood.
Buy CathoDe Church
At a meeting a few years ago of ITT's
top men, someone suggested that t~e
company might buy the Roman Cathohc
Church. "It meets all the requirements,"
someone quipped. While the chances of
such a purchase are very slim, some of
the recent mergers ITT has made boggle
the minds of businessmen and lay people
alike.
ITT bought Avis Rent-a-car company
in 1965 for $52 million. In 1966, the conglomerate acquired APCOA car-parking
company for a slim $27.5 million. The
Levitt Company, maker of 175,000 homes
in the U.S. was purchased in 1966 for
$92 million. ITT's 300-unit Sheraton
Hotel chain was gobbled up in 1968 for a
tidy $200 million. ITT Rayonier, with extensive operations in Washington State
was picked up for $293 million in 1968.
Another large firm acquired in 1.968
was Continental Baking Company. The
$279 million purchase of the biggest baking company in America caused ITT
some problems, however. According to
Anthony Sampson, author of the recent
book "The Soverign State of ITT",
Continental Baking "projected its food
with far-fetched advertising . . . Profile

Bread claimed to contain fewer calories
per slice than ordinary bread, and
Wonder Bread had the slogan 'Helps
build strong bodies twelve ways', claiming to provide special nutrients. Its TV
commercials showed children growing by
leaps and bounds after eating the precious bread."
"Early in 1971, RalJ?h Nader !nvestigated these claims- m one of h1s many
assaults on ITT - and protested to the
Federal Trade Commission (FTC) that
they were false. As a result, in March of
1971 the FTC complained, pointing out
that' Wonder Bread had the same nutrients as any other bread, and that Profile Bread contained fewer calories only
because it was more thinly sliced."
The judge turned down the complaint
against Wonder Bread because, according to Sampson, he felt "children didn't
believe TV advertisements anyway."
Profile Bread however, had to promise
to devote a quarter of its future advertising to remedy the misleading promotions.
Biggest purchase
The biggest company ever purchased
outright by ITT was the Hartford Insurance Company, bought in 1971 for $1.5
billion in ITT stock.
Since the takeover of Hartford, the insurance company's capital gains have increased from $832,000 in 1968 to $41.8
million in 1972. Hartford is now the third
largest insurer of property and casualty
insurance in the U.S.
The Hartford merger aroused considerable resistance on the part of the Justice Department and the Connecticut Insurance Department, but, much to the
Cooper Point Journal

dismay of many Hartford stockholders,
the merger was approved, with ITT
agreeing to certai~~estitures of other
companies.
In return for approval of the Hartford
purchase, ITT agreed to sell A vis, Levitt
and Canteen Corporation (vending machines). It also agreed to limit over the
next ten years future acquisition of U.S.
companies to those costing less than
$100 million. No limitation was placed on
the purchase of foreign corporations.
In the nine months following the settlement, ITT bought twenty American
companies and twelve foreign companies
with total sales of about $300 million.
One of the most politically frightening
mergers ITT attempted was one with
the American Broadcasting Company. A
plan to buy ABC in 1966 for $400 million
was approved by stockholders and was
to be the biggest merger in the history
of broadcasting.
When ITT went to the Federal Communications Commission for approval of
the transfer, the Commission gave ITT
its blessing by a 4 to 3 vote, with
Nicholas Johnson, the eternal light of
radical morality, leading the dissenting
minority.
Trust busting
What followed proved to be one of the
most interesting trust-busting cases the
Justice Department ever fought. In sixteen days of testimony before the FCC,
Geneen tried to show beyond any doubt
that both ITT and ABC would benefit
immensely from the merger.
Following Geneen's testimony, the
FCC again approved the merger, at
which point the Justice Department began its campaign against ITT, maintaining that ABC News would lose its integrity because of ITT's foreign interests,
which "involve it in close and confidential relations with foreign governments."
Geneen finally gave up in 1968, declaring that the merger was no longer in the
interest of ITT's stockholders. The stock
market speculation over the proposed
merger was reported to have cost Wall
Street over $50 million.
These are just a few examples of the
many different kinds of situations in
which ITT seems to get involved. On the
surface, Geneen and company almost appear to flourish on trouble. Underneath
though, there appears to be justification
for ITT's actions from at least one other
point of view.
Business Week's profile of ITT states
that the recent political affairs of the
company have "made ITT the symbol of
the acquisitive Machiavellisn corporation
whose sole interest is profit by any
means."
But from inside ITT, "They are simply
busy perfecting the precision control
system that has made ITT the biggest
and most successful of that genre of companies called conglomerates," according

AprD 11, 1974

to Business Week.
Looking for small companies
Neil Mt!flernolds, Public J\elations Director f~ the Northwest ·Division of
ITT, said in a recent interview with the
Cooper Point Journal, that while the
Justice Department has "cracked down"
on ITT's· acquisitions, they (ITT) are
"always looking for small companies with
good proqtS" to acquire.
McReynolds said future expansion into
new areas of business in Washington is
limited, but plans are being drawn up for
a possible new Continental Baking plant
in Seattle and expansion of Rayonier
throughout the state.
While McReynolds praised Continental's Hostess line of fine confection, including such products as Twinkies and
Suzie Q's, he did admit that their Wonder Bread plant, capable of producing
6,000 loaves an hour has not been doing
well lately, mainly because of the price
freeze on bread and the increased cost of
wheat.
In fact, ITT Continental, in 1972, contributed twelve per cent of ITT sales nationwide, but only one per cent of ITT's
earnings. On the other hand, ITT
Rayonier, maker of chemical cellulose
materials and lumber products generated
eight per cent of ITT's earnings on four
per cent of sales.
Rayonier has over one million acres of
forest in the U.S. and Canada from
which it draws for production. There are
seven Rayonier plants in Washington
State alone.
ITT employs over 4,000 people
throughout the state, with a projected
payroll of $44 million in 1974. The com-

pany contributes more than $5 million in
state and local taxes annually on their
combined sales of $257 million.
Other holdings
Besides the seven Rayonier plants in
the state, there are also twenty-one Continental Baking plants. The Morton
Frozen Foods Division of Continental
purchased nearly $2 million in vegetables
grown in Washington, and more than $7
million in wheat grown and milled in the
state.
ITT also has one Sheraton Inn in
Renton, Peterson's School of Business in
Seattle (one of twenty-two business
schools nationwide), and a number of
small communications companies and
manufacturing firms throughout the
state.
The ITT Hartford Insurance Company
has 53,000 insurance holders statewide,
with written premiums of $13.7 million.
Hartford has some 220 independent
agents and 209 company employees in
Washington, with an annual payroll of
$2.1 million.
ITT Washington State also has one of
only three ship-to-shore communications
stations on the West Coast, KLB in Seattle.
Our neighbors to the north in Alaska
are fortunate enough to have ITT Federal Support Services, a management
consulting firm which runs Alaska's telecommunication system on funds from the
federal government.
McReynolds said that ITT is currently
in the process of bidding on a number of
small contracts on the Trans-Alaskan
Pipeline, although he was no more speContinued on page 13

Aid for Midwest
Evergreen students have launched a
fund-raising drive to aid two Ohio universities destroyed by devastating tornadoes which killed more than 330
people throughout the Midwest last
week and left thousands homeless. No
immediate relief is available for students
at the institutions, Wilberforce and
Central State Universities.
"It takes the government many
months to conduct investigations for assistance claims," said Evergreen student
Richard Bolger, member of the fund-raising group. "Immediate financial aid is
needed for the victims. The Red Cross is
in bad financial trouble due to the many
floods this past year." Fortunately the
colleges, located in Xenia, Ohio where 30
people died due to the tornadoes last
April 4, were on spring break when the
destruction occurred.
Evergreen students, faculty, and staff,
as well as Puget Sound residents, are
asked to submit tax·deductible donations

cific than that the bids were on a "whole
variety of things."
ITT Washington State, like the rest of
the massive international conglomerate,
is disjointed in a highly organized
fashion. It has been suggested by one
person in state government that this is a
calculated "oversight" on the part of ITT
management to effectively frustrate
