Last Friday, Evergreen played host to
the Third Annual Spaceangel Dada Spectacular. Due to unfortunate tardiness in
printing posters, it may have escaped
your attention altogether.
The Spectacular originated two months
ago, when Lynn McClenahan, individual
contract student, sent out 200 letters asking for "Correspondence Art." In this, she
was aided by Space Angel (alias Tom McKay) and Rhoda Mappo (Kay Hockett) of
Portland, Mt. Angel, and points east.
Three hundred dollars from Services and
Activities funds helped pay for mailing
and Xeroxing.
Contributions came in from such luminaries as Davi Det Hampson, Ace Space
Company (perhaps more familiar to Evergreen audiences as Dana Atchley, whose
recent visit here was sponsored by Eye-S
and the Library Group), the Lost Lacy
Mining Company of Montana, and Anna
Banana of Dadaland. Frank Cassidy of
the original Rodeo Rangers, an old-time
country and western star, sent autographed pictures, inscribed "to all my
friends at Evergreen." (By a strange quirk
of fate, Frank Cassidy is also Space Angel's father.)
"Every wizard in the biz sent something
up to Evergreen," Space Angel declaimed.
Letters and mimeographed pictures
were exhibited on screens in the thirdfloor Library balcony. While banal records droned, students wandered through
the collage, pondering such admonitions
as "Elect Godzilla! Age before Beauty!"
One bemu&ed faculty member asked if
this was the Academic Advising Fair. But
things were pretty dead until noon, when
the comet Kohoutek was to dance on Red
Square.

.......

The comet, a large red head like a
tomato with acne and a sinuous yellow
body had been fashioned from papiermache and a Salvation Army curtain by
Rhoda Mappo.
"So far, The Evergreen State College
(sic) has not earned the 'A.' I hope they
can work their 'F' back to an 'E' before we
leave because it's hard to pronounce
collfge," Space Angel grumped. (Dadaists,
believe it or not, are occasionally in earnest. The works of Art Gangster, who
proclaims empathy with Laszlo T oth, the
Pieta's attacker, are a serious manifestation of an anti-art anti-gallery feeling.)
"The galleries are completely in the
business world. It is ridiculous that in this
society we don't have places for all artists
to freely exhibit or sell their works." (In
addition to liberated art-zones, Space Angel advocated subsidies for artists.)
The two o'clock films did not attract
the attention they deserved either. About
15 people gathered in Lecture Hall 5 to
see the advertised Laurel and Hardy film
Way Out West, which was tedious, and
also two "sizzling shorts."

Devil and the Maiden
The first short was The Devil and the
Maiden, an early blue movie with a few
classical allusions that would offend the
artistic sensibilities of a maggot. The
other film was A Nun's Story, but the
opening and closing scenes, where an Ava
Gardner look-alike appears in a nun's
habit, were missing. One saw what was
her presumably non-habitual disporting
with a young man. Character development was minimal; plot-line was weak all climax and no denouement - but
some interesting visual effects were attained by unusual camera angles.
The final event of the Dada Spectacular
was Friday night's Flash Splash Boogie in
the Library lobby. A glitter band, the
Pickle Sisters, was to play, but because of
their delays, Billy Joy and the No Toy
Boys substituted at the last minute. Those
present, many of whom were in costume,
were awarded MFA's from the Fat City
School of Finds Art to the stately strains
of Pomp and Circumstance.

Lights out'
To the Editor:
Turning out lights can't be that hard.
Admittedly there is more difficulty in
changing personal conditioning than in
turfting off automatic or regularly used
lights, so I'll concentrate on those. In all
the parking lots the attempt at perpetual
daylight has a certain charm, but fully lit,
empty parking lots seem ridiculously
waveful if not slightly pa~anoid. I suggest
turning out half the lights on each pole, if
possible every other bulb, producing an
even, soft light that would be perfectly
adequate for safety.
I'm also impressed and relieved each
time I enter a public passageway where
the lights are turned out. There are no
human collisions in the halls of the
LiLrary and I think it's ridiculous for the
4

walkways to be lit for reading. The halls
of the dorms are lit more than the Library
building; why, I don't know. In many
places the exit signs are adequate. And
while I'm at it, the elevators have an
average of four, four ft. fluorescent lights.
One would do.
It is in the Library and other fluorescent-lit areas that I think particular care
could be taken to turn out all lights not
directly over books and tables. Fluorescents cost less to run; turning off unnecessary ones costs even less, and cost need
not be the only consideration.
I'll avoid quoting anyone as controversial as Adelle Davis on the health problems associated with fluorescent strobes.
Instead I'll quote from a book by scientist
Dr. Lyall Watson, and a portion where he
describes epileptic fits produced by strobe
lights affecting brain waves.
"Walter (Grey) examined hundreds of
people who had never had any kind of fit
or attack and found that about one in
every twenty responded to carefully adjusted flickers . . . In other subjects, the
flicker had to be exactly matched with the
brain (wave) rhythm to produce any
effects. A feedback circuit, in which the

flashing light was actually fired by the
brain signals themselves, produced immediate epileptic seizures in more than half
the people tested.
". . . The implications of this discovery
are enormous. Every day we are exposed
to flicker in some way and run the risk of
illness or fatal fits. The flash rate of fluorescent light at 100 to 120 per second is
too high for convulsions, but who knows
what effect it may be having on those exposed to it for many hours each day." Super Nature (a strobe) is noticeable up to
20 to 25 cycles per second.
People working at night for a major
bank in Seattle doing close work with
checks and ten key, all complained of
flaky skin, dandruff, vitamin A deficiency
and many got stronger glasses. Some
working for a long time at that job with
20/20 vision found they had to get
glasses. This was told to me by a friend,
concerned with her own change of health
after taking the job, who asked a lot of
questions of other wor~ers before she
quit.
I mention this for anyone concerned
about their health as :oomething to consider, and for anyone cr,ncerned about en.

overconsumption in this part of the world
right now.
Turning out unnecessary central lighting
offers a public precedent for changing personal conditioning. Let's do it at every
level. Good luck to us all .

No burgers
To the Editor:
After reading the article on the accreditation team's visit one of my friends asked
me if I'd really said Evergreen was a burger school, so I thought I'd better write
you a note . I was asserting Evergreen's superiority over accredited burger schools,
not implying that we deserved to be a
franchised addition to the chain. I think
the article makes that clear, but the header is confusing ; if I'd known my offhand
remark was going to end up in the
Journal I'd have looked for a less casual
formulation.

Trees lose
A draft environmental impact statement, released Friday, May 3 by the Evergreen Facilities Planning office, predicts
that construction of the newly approved
Communications Laboratory building will
require the destruction of over two acres
of trees and natural vegetation .
The draft statement, written in accordance with the Washington State Environmental Policy Act of 1971, has been sent
to a number of federal, state and county
agencies for review. Copies were also sent
to environmental specialist faculty members Steve Herman, AI Wiedemann, and
Peter Taylor, as well as to the public
through the Information Center, KAOS
radio, and the Journal. Any comments on
the statement for inclusion in the final
report must be received by the office of
Facilities by June 1, 1974. It is expected
that the project will be put out for bid on
July 1, according to Jerry Schillinger, Director of Facilities Planning.
The statement, prepared by staff architect William Knauss, goes on to state that
possible alternatives are available. The
planned location of the building is behind
the recreation building, and to the front
and side of the Utility and 211 Artworks
building.

"No meaningful, feasible alternatives
appear," the report states, "Relocating the
building would not eliminate or significantly reduce the loss of natural vegetation , as all areas availahle are similarly
forested. Locations remote from the
campus core would cause greater disturbance to the natural environment ... "
In the summary of environmental impact , the report predicts "complete
removal'" of 1.4 acres of trees and shrubbery and "selective removal" of an additional 1 .4 acres.
One of the benefits of the building to
the environment, states the report, would
be the control of water drainage which
presently is causing a good deal of soil
erosion in the area.
The $6.8 million building was approved
by the legislature in special session two
weeks ago, and signed into law by the
governor Monday, April 6. In the area
where construction is planned to begin in
September, there is presently dense
hemlock, cedar and alder trees, ferns and
Oregon grape. The cedar trees vary in
diameter from 12 inches to 24, while the
alder range from 3 to 10 inches at the
butt. There ar~ also birds, chipmunks,
squirrels and field mice presently inhabiting the site, according to the environmental impact statement.

PROPOSED SITE - Draft environmental impact statement for the new Communications
Building predicts the destruction of over two acres of trees and vegetation.

Counseling Services is holding a oneday conference on Monday, May 13, entitled "The Changing Family Structure:
Are Long Term Relationships Possible in
Today's Society?" Among the participants
at the conference will be Philip Slater,
author of The Pursuit of Loneliness and
Earthwalk, and Eli Zeretsky, editor of the
magazine "Socialist Revolution," and
author of "Capitalism and Personal Life."
At the conference there will be three
panel discussions on topics ranging from
the Polynesian extended family to the history of collective living in the United
States.
"In working and living here I've noticed
(and others have) that most people want
to be independent and autonomous, while
at the same time they feel the need to
form lasting relationships," explained
counselor Beth Harris, "Doing both is difficult. A lot of people feel they aren't
relating in the right way. I'm not sure
there is a right way. Hopefully the conference will present a lot of new perspectives
that will help us to relate the way we
want."
The first event of the conference is on
Sunday night, a film entitled "Nothing
But A Man," to be shown in Lecture Hall
5 at 7:30p.m.
On Monday at 9 a.m., Eli Zeretsky will
give the keynote speech followed by a
panel discussion with faculty members
Nancy Allen, Maxine Mimms, Eric Larson, and students Mary-Lou Reslock and
Don Martin.
Between noon and 1:30 the film
"'Notlli11g But A Man " will be shown
again in Lecture Hall 5.
American relationships
In the afternoon a different panel with
faculty members Carol Olexa and Bill
Aldridge will discuss "American relationships today." Also on the panel will be
Carol Fuller, a lawyer and judge in Olympia, Larry Stenberg, Dean of Student
Services, Ann Rockway, coordinator of
the day treatment program of ThurstonMason Counties Mental Health Center,
Craig Conner, coordinator of the campus
Gay Center, and Lynn Kratz, a private
therapist in Olympia. After the panel discussion there will be workshops with the
panel members individually.
In the evening from 7 to 10, Philip
Slater will moderate a third panel discussion between faculty member Earle
McNeil, Director of Counseling Services
LeRoi Smith, director of the Women's
Clinic Janet Stein, student Elena Perez,
and Sandy Nisbet who is a member of the
Co-respondents Readers Theatre.
"We want to emJ.Ihao;ize that the evening session will be very different from
the other two," explained Bill Campbell
for Counseling Services. "The evening ses-

C.on!'flr Point Journal

sion with Phil Slater will be more of a
group participation thing than just watching a panel."
The fortn;~t lor the conferencl! itself is
unique, according to Harris. Faculty
members, students and others representing
a wide range of disciplines will be participating, making the conference a further
extension of Evergreen's interdisciplinary
ideal.
The funding and support for the conference came from the Man and Nature, Evergreen Environment, Psychology in the
Community, Power and Personal Vulnerability, Democracy and Tyranny prngrams, the Imperialism Contract, the
Women's Center, Psychology in the Community, Women and Literature, Provost
Ed Kormondy and President Charles
McCann.

Shearer coming
Tony Shearer, author of Lord of the
Dawn, will be on campus from Thursday,
May 9, until Saturday, May 11 when he
will participate in "The Gathering of the
Tribes" festival presented by the Native
American Student Association. The aliday festival will involve various Washington tribes and include a fashion show
craft fair, and archery contest held in th~
recreation field.
Shearer's book is about the Aztec deity,
Quetzalcoatl, and prophecies surrounding
his life and return. Also discussed in the
poetic prose is the Aztec calendar itself
which, like the Tibetan Buddhist calendar,
ends in the late 1980's.
"He's a prophet," stated NASA member
Greg Knox, "and the book is his vision."
Also to speak are Hank Adams, on
Native American hunting and fishing
rights and Jim Robideau from the Northwestern American Indian Movement
(AIM) chapter.
According to Knox, there is also going
to be video tape presentation on
Wounded Knee.

Quarter short
The academic deans have extended the
instructional period for Spring Quarter an
extra week in response to faculty complaints. The evaluation week will now
occur from June 3 to 7.
Spring Quarter was originally scheduled
to be only eight weeks long as compared
to eleven weeks for Winter Quarter. Dean
Charles Teske explained the mistake was
made last summer when last year's dates
were put on this year's calendar but apparently it did not add up to the same ·
amount of time. The problem was first realized when several faculty members
May 9,1974

started complaining to the deans of the
"short quarter" and some, of their own
accord, changed their program schedules
to allow for an extra instructional week.
This prompted Dean Rudy Martin to issue
a memo officially extending the instructional period for everyone.
One side effect of moving evaluation
week back is that students graduating as
scheduled on June 2 may not have finished the evaluation process and will
therefore be referred to at the graduation
ceremony as "candidates" rather than
"graduates," according to Martin's memo.
There are at present no state requirements about the number of class-hours for
Washington colleges, although a legislative committee has asked about the brevity of our Spring Quarter.
"American educators," commented
Teske, "feel that by pinning down quantity you can pin down quality ... a high
school conception."

McCormack comes

Meetings open
The Curriculum Planning Review disappearing task force (DTF) met yesterday at
9 a.m. in the first of three open forums
on the issues of academic offerings. I
began with a review of the planning
process.
"You know my view on this; a goo
curriculum requires planning," said Academic Dean Rudy Martin, in charge of
curriculum planning. "Spontaneous generation is nice, but doesn't create good curriculum . . . My view is simply that it is
the responsibility of the faculty to develop
curriculum."
Student input was apparent at each
step, but when asked, Martin could mention only six programs students actively
helped develop for next year, including
Developmental Learning, Studies in Capitalism, Marx and the Third World, and
Minority Economic Development. Martin
felt that student-faculty consultation on
program planning was not what it should
have been.
The next meeting of the DTF will be on
Wednesday, May 15 at 9:30 a.m. in
Science bldg. rm. 1007.

MIKE McCORMACK
Congressman speaks on energy policy

"Toward a National Energy Policy" will
be the topic of an address to be delivered
by U.S. Congressman Mike McCormack
Saturday, May 11, at 7:30 p.m. in Lecture Hall One. McCormack was a research scientist for the Atomic Energy
Commission at Hanford prior to serving
in the Washington State Senate from 1958
to 1970.
Since his election to the U.S. Congress
in 1970 he has served as the chairman of
the House Subcommittee on Energy in
addition to serving on the House Public
Works and Science and Astronautics
Committees. He is one of two scientist
congressmen.

Asian American Coalition is holding a
workshop at 2 p.m. Monday, May 13, on
the first floor Library lobby, at which will
be discussed the problems of Asian Americans in this country.
Participants at the workshop will include Mitch Matsudaira, Chairman of the
Washington State Commission on Asian
American Affairs, Art Wang, a VISTA
volunteer from Tacoma, Larry Yok, affirmative action officer for the city of
Olympia, and York Wong, the director of
Computer Services at Evergreen.
The conference will deal with the problems of racial stereotyping in the movies
and television, as well as the particular
problems faced by Asian Americans in urban situations, according to Non-White
Minority.Coalition member April West.
At 3:30p.m., following the workshop,
there will be a presentation by the Asian
American Multi-media Group. The group
consists of students from the Seattle area.
Their presentation, according to West,
will be of a political nature, focusing on
some of the problems discussed at the
workshop.
"They're really good," she added, urging everyone to attend.

While the 1974-75 coordinated studies programs at Evergreen will be different from the
1973-74 programs, they will cover the same fields, disciplines and hobbies, and will have
the same philosophies, faculty, and problems. The Cooper Point Journal takes pride in

The following descriptions of the coordinated studies programs we are offering
next year were specially written in order
to puzzle and confuse students as to their
true nature. Just like this year, the names
of the programs will have no relation to
what, if anything, students will do if they
sign up. Remember - you don't have to
sign up for any program if you don't
want to, just so long as you pay your
tuition on time and don't cause trouble.
Will you be able to switch to another

perhaps. To be honest, probably not. No.

will be, but for full credit students will be
expected to sit around and talk vaguely
about themselves while staring off into
space. No messy lectures, irritating seminars, or unpleasant accomplishment will
be required . This program comes highly
recommended for the average Evergreen
student, and is ideally suited for those
who like long vacations, free time, and
sleep.
A YEAR IN THE DORMS
Students in this basic program will actually live, eat, and sleep in the Evergreen
dormitories, studying the other inhabitants in an effort to explain their peculiar
life-styles. All dorm rituals will be observed including screaming, stealing food
from the community kitchens, and participating in the nightly philosophical discussions around the pool table on the first
floor of Building A. Please do not confuse
this program with the group contract ISOLATION AND STAGNATION, in which
students will live, love, and contemplate
suicide in the Adult Student Housing
apartments.
ME,MYSELF, AND I
This basic program will be exclusively
concerned with three major aspects of the
Self : Self-deception, Self-righteousness,
and Self-indulgence. Designed to appeal
especially to the budding egos of eighteen
and nineteen year-olds, students will be
given credit to write on My Most Embarrassing Moment, My Likes and Dislikes,
Why I am Worthwhile, the Wit and
Wisdom of Me, and How My Fantasies
About Myself Will Help My Career.
RHYTHM, RECIPES, AND
REVOLUTION
In this unique interdisciplinary program
the Evergreen philosophy will be carried
to its logical conclusion. Students will
concentrate on Country Music of the MidSixties, Organic Home Economics, and
Left-wing Politkal Science, with special

P.O.l.N.T.L.E.S.S.
WRITING WITHOUT PURPOSE
Designed for victims of "illiteracy," "incoherence," and other negative establishment put-downs, this program will endeavor to improve creative writing by
having the student scribble in ten-minute
bursts while wearing a blindfold. This
revolutionary concept, known as "writing
in tongues," will be applied to other areas
of the school. including the music program, in which students will master various instruments by playing them as fast
as they can in ten-minute jam sessions,
followed by short discussions, in which
each student will be told by the others
that he or she is brilliant in return for
similar compliments.

biographical seminars on Karl Marx,
Adelle Davis, and Merle Haggard. Political commitment is a requirement of this
program. Students will be expected to sell
their stereos and send the money to Chilean revolutionaries. Fall and Winter
Quarters will be taken up with Basic
Rhythm in Music and Diet. We will have
rigorous instruction on cowbells, handjive, and celery. Spring Quarter seminars
include Growing Through Sewing, Fundamentals of the Dulcimer, and More Basic
Rhythms. This program is open only to
hippies, poets, and revolutionaries. You're

FUN AND GAMES
This new program is ideal for the typical Evergreen faculty member. Teachers
from last year's TOUCHING AND FEELING and SHOW AND TELL programs
will look forward to this year's reincarnation which fondly recalls that often-asked
question, "If Life Isn't Absurd Then Why

Symposium probes nuclear power
BY STAN SHORE
"If nuclear power is not stopped by the
year 2,000, the survivors will env y the
dead. " - Ralph Nader
Evergreen will host a symposium on
nuclear fission power May 10, which will
include panel discussions with speakers
Dr. John Goffman, Dr. Allen Seymour
' · and Dr. Arthur Tamplin, all experts in
the field. The symposium will focus on
the present buildup of the nuclear power
industry, the development of fast breeder
reactors, and the continued construction
of fission reactors.

from . . . Congressman Mike McCormack."
Obviously uptight about the symposium
Hall denied the credibility of the speakers,
saying that they came to "poison the
mihds" of students, and concluded by
threatening, "One o( these days I may get
a chance to talk to some of the higher-ups
at the college and ask them, 'Gee, how do
you use public facilities and public funds
for very detrimental types of things .. ."'
Panels balance
Duree shrugged the response off, stating
that the panels discussing the issue were
balanced, and that statements like Hall's

were "political." In fact, he pointed out,
Congressman Mike McCormack will be
on campus the day after the symposium,
May 11, to present a speech on the energy
situation. (See story page 7.)
According to Duree, the reason for the
symposium is that there are good chances
that nuclear reactors will cause a "catastrophic" disaster. Since only a small percentage of the United States' energy needs
are tied up in nuclear reactors at the present time, such a catastrophe would almost
certainly mean curtailment of those existC.o ntinued on page 12

In the course of preparing the symposiurn more than 20 proponents of continued

and refused to attend, according to James
Duree Jr., one of the student organizers.
Larry Hall, vice president in charge of
public affairs for Puget Sound Power and

strictly an anti-nuclear power setup with

who don't worry about telling the truth .

Gajl Center sponsors festival
BY LIBBY LASTRAPES
May 16, 17 and 18, the Evergreen Gay
Resource Center will sponsor a festival
entitled "Children of the Seventies,"
which will explore Gay Culture in today's
society. Last week a staff member of the
Cooper Point journal spoke with severalpeople involved in the festival's organization, including Marcel lome and center
coordinator Craig Conner.
JOURNAL: 'How will this Laboratory/
Festival relate to the Evergreen community as a whole?"
GAY CENTER: "'Children of the
Seventies' has been assigned to provide a
unique educational opportunity for the
Evergreen community. To our knowledge
this is the first conference of its kind that
had been designed as a forum for an intentional exploration of what it means to
be a gay person actively participating in
gay culture. Laboratory participants will
have the opportunity to rub elbows with
gay people who are making significant
contributions in a variety of fields.
'This is the first time that we've been
able to come together intentionally to talk
about where we've been in the past; what
roots we have in history; what contributions we're making now to our culture
and to the greater culture; where we want
to go in designing our own culture; how
we want to have it integrated into the
larger culture; what we want to retain for
ourselves ;eparately and how we want to
build our identity as a group.

"The Gay Center is offering a special
pre-Laboratory workshop, using speakers,
films, and discussion to deal with some of
the basic questions Evergreen students will
have about homosexuality. It will take
place Wednesday, May 15, Lecture Hall
3, 7:30p.m."

JOURNAL: 'Who and what will be
some of the featured attractions?"
GAY CENTER: "We have some really
exciting people corning including Kate
Millet, author of Sexual Politics; Winston
Leland, editor of Gay Sunshine; Charlie
Chivalry, editor of Fag Rag; and Jill Johnston, author of Lesbian Nation. A variety
of mediums of presentation will be used
to explore contributions made by gays in
the fields of art, music, dance, theatre,
media, history, sociology, psychology,
education, litl'rature, and crafts. There's
also a rumor that Allen Ginsburg will be
on campus."
JOURNAL: "How is it different from
most Gay Liberation activities?"
May 9,1974

GAY CENTER: "We look on our Laboratory /Festival design as a total departure from the usual manner in which the
non-gay community becomes aware of the
gay community. The Laboratory will
allow Evergreen and interested community people the opportunity to become
aware of many of the real issues confronting gay people who are creating a new
awareness of who they are through their
academic and artistic pursuits.

JILL JOHNSTON

"We're going to be asking a lot of questions; this is a first, it has never happened
before, we've never come together under
this concept before. All this time we've
been putting our efforts out in the legal
rights area, trying to make it legal for us
to exist. We've been trying to educate the
social and mental health people that we
indeed aren't sick, that we indeed function
on a level at least equal to where they are
coming from."
JOURNAL: "Could you talk a little
more about the concept of gay culture?"
GAY CENTER: "Gay awareness relates
to more than our sexuality. It is our hope
to provide an exposure to the historical
and developmental aspects of a culture in
the process of self-discovery. One must
keep in mind that this society has systematically robbed gay people of their personal identity as well as knowledge of
their cultural contributions. gays forced to
live in an overtly hostile society have had
little opportunity to define and control
their development."

JOURNAL: 'What are some of the political implications of this festival?"
GAY CENTER: "The most radical
thing that can happen to any group or
culture - it's happened to black people
and to women - is that they get a sense
of cultural identity, and in order to
achieve a sense of equality they had to
first develop separately. They have to feel
and show themselves to be equal in order
to be able to negotiate from a position of
strength. Then we can deal straight across
the table."
JOURNAL: "What are some of your
more specific goals?"
GAY CENTER: "The main goal is to
implement an educational laboratory that
would expose the Evergreen community
to the artistic and intellectual process of
self-discovery that is finding its renaissance in the sexual minority; that would
provide the sexual minority an opportunity to engage in intentional creative dialogue on the future of gay culture; to develop ongoing communication networks
that would disseminate educational and
cultural materials to the greater community; and to discuss the nature of the sexual minorities and the academic community.
"Just as importantly, this lab is a celebration by and for gay people; a celebration and an affirmative of gay culture."
JOURNAL: "Are you having any logistical problems?"
GAY CENTER: 'We do need campus
participation in a couple of specific areas.
We need volunteers to help with day-care,
and we also need people who would be
wiiling to put up a guest in their homes.
Anyone interested in helping us in these
ways should call the Gay Resource Center
at 866-6544."
Editor's note: next week the Cooper
Point journal will publish a full agenda of
events at the "Children of the Seventies"
Laboratory/ Festival._

Academic Dean· Byron Youtz has ann unct'd an advising fair to let prospecti e students meet with the faculty for
S mer Quarter coordinated studies proms and group contracts. The fair, to
held Wednesday, May 15 from 10 a.m.
noon on the second floor lobby of the
L rary, will be similar to the advising
f r held last week for the 1974-75 acad ic year.
May 31 is the final registration day for

b July 1.
his is the first Summer Quarter which
11 include a full range of academic offeri s. ''The summer term will be pretty

Y utz. Its main focus will be various aspc!cts of the Pacific Northwest.
- !Youtz, the dean in charge of the
stf;nmer curriculum, also invited Evergrteners to v~ew the art exhibit of summer
ad: faculty now showing in the fourth
floor Library Art Gallery.

According to friends of the 29-year-old
artist, the need for an operation was not
known until two weeks ago when Brenner
went in for an examination after complaining of severe headaches. Apparently
the tumor was pressing against the optic
nerve.
Brenner was hired as an Evergreen faculty member on a temporary one-year
contract which expires in June. Local
artist Susan Christian will be taking her
place while she is recuperating.
At the present time only her mother is
allowed to visit her, and only for short
periods of time.

Mother cares
CARE and the Evergreen Women's Center have a unique suggestion for Mother's
Day. For a donation of $2 or more, made
in the name of your mother, CARE will
send a card to your mother telling of this
gift to the unfortunate peoples abroad,
such as victims of the African drought.
Interested persons are reminded to
include their mother's name and address
when sending their order, as early as
possible, to CARE, Seattle WA. 98111 so
that the card gets to your mother in time
for May 12 and the aid is on its way

Living Dead:

like it or lump it
There is an old film maker's saying that
some of the highest quality motion picture
production is in television commercials.
With sixty seconds or even less it's best to
be concise and that can often mean careful scripting, directing and editing. Before
making Night of the Living Dead its director, George A. Romero, and screen writer .
John A. Russo, made television commercials, and their feature reflects some evidence of this experience.
I think there are two basic reasons for
the film's success. First the setting and
plot, which take what I believe to ?~ a
situation of classic terror - a condttton
where there is no place to hide and no
one to trust. Even in Hitchcock's The
Birds (in which the basic plot structure is
similar) the protagonist has help and
friends to depend on. But Night of the
Living Dead allows that security to decay
in front of your eyes until it becomes appropriate to be killed by the person you
least expected. Throughout the film each
shock section is carefully led up to with
almost scientific precision. It puts its
emphasis on surprising the audience
rather than concentrating on suspense and
this seems to work, perhaps because ·after
being shocked over and over even static
electricity seems worth worrying about.
The film's effectiveness lies also in its
use of unknown actors. Somehow seeing
the characters first as strangers with
whom the viewer becomes more acquainted as the story progresses adds a
degree of realism that makes the events all
the more unbearable. However the audience is not even allowed a real protagonist until about a third of the way
through the film. As we have to watch
one semi-protagonist after another perish
before we finally get one that's smart
enough to really get concerned about.
Of the film's mistakes there is one that ·
is inexcusable. In Hitchcock's The Birds
we are never told why the birds are attacking. But in Romero's Night of the Living Dead we are told too much. It doesn't
matter why the dead are living', and when
they try to explain, it only makes things
comical. And although the film has a
strong sense of humor, the explanation is
still way out of place.
The film was made on a very low budgMay

et, $125,000 and has since grossed sever~!
million. The New York Times thought 1t
was too assuming and unprofessional,
while the Village Voice called it ". . . one
of the best horror films ever produced."
Matt Groening thought it was funny, and
I thought it was scary. So maybe it's an
unusual film.
FRANKIE FOSTER
The balance between horror and the
ludicrous is a precarious one, and Night
of the Living Dead, whi~h is. being ~how~
at tomorrow's Friday Ntte F1lm Se~es, 1s
sadly yet another example of the latter.
The movie is chock full of laughable, fermented, potato-headed cadavers who run
amok looking for tender human flesh to
devour, all because a meteor has come
down and ,released that ever-reliable
deadly radiation which brings our monsters to life and sends them on their mad
frenzies of semi-photogenic cannibalism.
Horror movies have their own special
problems. While they give the film maker
an easy excuse to indulge in bizarre
sadism, the usual result is that the audience gets its face rubbed in the blood and
gore, which is no fun, or the movie promises too much and never delivers the
goods. The great horror movies de~nd
on their tension and suspense bemg
worked up slowly, with minor shocks
being injected en route, and a climax that
exceeds all that has gone before. Scene
after scene of grisly cruelty is not enough
for the jaded post-Hiroshima, -Auschwitz,
-My Lai moviegoer who can see that kind
of entertainment every night on the news.
When the shaky camera drools over the
mindless bloodshed of Night of the Living
Dead, the true horror buff can only snicker or yawn. The predictable nastiness of
the monsters is quite amusing, but the
grainy images and rotten sound made me
squirm restlessly. Even though I had
wanted to be frightened when I saw it a
year ago, the audience howling with
laughter at the sight of the little girl chewing on her mother's hand made fear a
little difficult.
Comedy and horror rarely mix well ..
The comedy dissolves the horror, and a
comedy-horror film is practically a contradiction in terms, unless unintentional.
Unintentional comedy in horror movies is
getting tiresome, there's so much of it. For
years I've endured Frankenstein's family,
sluggish mummies, devil dogs, papiermache slime creatures, mole people, lethal
vegetation, Mothra, Godzilla, Gorgo,
Them, It, Hollywood werewolves, lumpy
sewer mon~ters, zomboids from Mars,

Apples and
Truffaut
One of the most delightful and enchanting films to reach the United States in
1974 is premiering in Seattle. The Harvard Exit, which last year lined up The
Immigrants before anyone had ever heard
of it, has another coup. They are showing
a Swedish film titled The Apple War.
The Apple War is a fantasy, a comedy,
a brilliant statement on ecology and political satire. A modern fairy tale, it seems
that once upon a time, and very recently
too, there was a German capitalist named
Volkswagner who wanted to turn a lovelyAlpine community into "Deutschneyland"
a fantastic European magic kingdom of
popcorn stands, roller coasters and hamburgers. The only people who can stop
him are a virginal young delivery boy, a
sorceress, and the sorceress's assorted
half-witted and half-magical relations.
Before the adventure is over they have
called on a giant, a hundred and fifty
year old man, two sisters from the spirit
world and the boy has fought a dragon in_

search of the treasure with which their
idyllic alpine home can be bought back
from the Deutschneyland corporation and
returned to the people.
The ending, in which the very earth
and stones and trees rise up against the
perpetrators of evil, calls up the classic
fairytales of youth and the legends which
reach back even farther into time.
Good fantasy is hard to find in modern
pictures. This is particularly true in nonanimated pictures, as R.J . Daniel Kelleher
points out in his review of Disney's classic
Alice in Wonderland. The Apple War not
only manages to be first rate fantasy but
it manages to be contemporary fantasy
which, rather than hiding our problems
from us, looks carefully at them. Accepting evil in ihe world, the film girds our
loins in the innocence and goodness of
childhood, arms us with faith and laughter and sends us out int0 the world renewed. Such was the purpose of the
legends and fairytales of old and The
Apple War, like no other recent film, returns to the age-old duty of fantasy which
like all magic should not cloud our vision,
even with rose-colored clouds, but should
teach us to see even more clearly the true
state of the world . Fantasy, like poetry at
its best offers a truer vision than mere
facts. '
Of all the films that will come through
Seattle this year The Apple War may be
the one to see. Everything else will resonate with echoes of other films which you
have seen but The Apple War is a truly
unique movie which has taken a tradition
of fantasy and mixed it with comedy and
satire to create a modern myth which will
serve several purposes, the most important of which may be that it will enchant
you as no other recent film has.

1707 W. HARRISON

Francoili Truffaut's lat~...,work, Day for
Night, which won this F-.ar's Academy
Award for best foreign :picture, is currently playing at Seattle's 13roadway Theatre. When I saw the
several months
ago it was suffering uncftr a particularly
dismal job of dubbing a~, apparently, a
subtitled print has yet to !'each Seattle. In
spite of this handicap . Day for Night's
strengths make it well worth suffering the
piss poor dubbing for the excellent and
entertaining movie that it is.
Day for Night is the story of a French
film company making a second rate film
with American money titled Meet Pamella. Pamella is a young woman who falls
in love and marries a young man only to
find that what she really loves is "his
father in him." Leaving her husband for
the father, the jilted son ultimately follows them and murders both. There are
no pretenses of anything other than grade
B stuff, yet, in spite of the weakness of
their vehicle, the crew in Day for Night
love the movies and that includes Pamella. It is almost as though they have
given birth to a retarded child and so
must love it even more than the normal
or bright child.
Truffaut's vision of the cinema is one of
a complete commitment of love which is
reflected in the characters of Day for
Night. In spite of any personal troubles,
which include lovers leaving, a threatened
marriage and the death of one of the lead
characters, the film must be completed. It
is the one -important thing in anyone's life
- as a woman on the crew says "I'd give
up a guy for a movie, but I'd never give
up a movie for a guy!"
Jean-Pierre Leaud plays the young actor
playing the husband in Pamella (the
movie within the movie). Leaud has become a Truffaut regular since he first
played Antoine Doinel in The 400 Blows.
It seems a safe enough leap by now to say
that Truffaut sees Leaud, or at least the
Leaud of his pictures, as an image or
statement about the young Truffaut. It is
Leaud who most humorously displays the
passion for the cinema which is the reason
for existence of Day for Night; he is with
his lover in their hotel room and she
wants him to take her out to dinner Leaud looks at her incredulously - 'To
dinner, I we are in a city with 36 cinemas!"
he goes on to explain that the thing to do
is to decide which picture to see and then,
if there is time, grab a sandwich on the
way to the theatre.
Such scenes abound in Day for Night
and so if you would like to share in a
movie by and about people in love with
the movies, then damn the dubbing and
full speed ahead to Truffaut's movie
about a director, who is played by
Truffaut, making a movie about love and
death.
Oh, one last thing, for those who might
be curious, "day for night" is an American film term for shooting night scenes in
dayli~ht using special filters.
