THE EVERGREEN STATE COLLEGE

Olympia, Washington 98505

Application slow-down spurs recruitment drive
By Stan Shore
Many rumors have been
flowing through the campus these
last few weeks about Evergreen's
enrollment for next fall. The
rumors have centered around the
fact that Evergreen's number of
applications is lower this year
than at the same time last year
and that, if we don't get full
enrollment of 2050, our state
funds will be cut. These rumors
are, for the most part, not well
founded.
"There's room for concern,"
said Rich Nathan, admissions
counselor, "but not panic."
Seven hundred fifteen completed,
confirmed applications with
deposits paid have been accepted.
Another 300 applications have
been accepted, and deposits are

expected soon on roughly 250 of
them. If you add this to the IIOO
students expected to return, and
take into account no-shows,
about 300 applications more are
needed.
"It's going to be close,"
Nathan said, referring to the fact
that applications are now coming
in at a rate of approximately 60 a
week
Recruitment
To try to attract new students
and calm many of the rumors
that have been floating around
the state about Evergreen, the
college has done a number of
things.
The scheduled May I deadline
for applications has been listed,
students may enroll for over 36

units, and students with B.A.'s
from other institutions may now
enroll here for full time
work-although this won't help
towards a second bachelor's
degree according to Sally Hunter,
assistant to the provost.
Also, the college has stepped
up its recruiting program. It has
staged two Evergreen "previews"
in Seattle, one in Tacoma and
Olympia, and will stage another
in Vancouver on May 9. The
Vancouver preview will take
place at the Inn of the Quey at
7:30 p.m., and like the others
will include a 40-minute
presentation and question/answer
session.
"Our basic idea is to share
information with high school and
community college students,

teachers and counselors, parents
and members of the general
public," Nancy Taylor, acting
head of Admissions, stated. "The
meeting will be informal and
there will be ample time for
everyone.''
Also, in order to augment the
regular recruiting drive, TESC has
made trips to most of the
community colleges in the
Seattle, Tacoma, Olympia areas
and will be making more in the
future. Almost every day a team
of four faculty, four students,
and some staff from admissions
leave for a college.
"We focus on meeting the
faculty," Nathan explained,
"since an interested student
would probably ask his
faculty-as well as his

counselors-for recommendations
on a good college."
EnroUment trends
The way that enrollments have
been coming in, it seems likely
that 25 to 30 per cent of the
students next year will be out of
state, according to Nathan. This
compares with approximately 20
per cent this year.
In general enrollment has
decreased everywhere in the
country because of less student
interest, the tendency of students
to take a year off after high
school, the ending of the draft,
and the wide availability of other
learning environments, such as
trade schools, apprenticeships
and extension courses.

New Channel Six unplugged as
agreement interpretation varies
By Richard Pearson
Last Tuesday, faculty sponsor
Sid White surprised the group
contract in Video Production. He
disconnected the scheduled
channel 6 broadcast indefinitely.
White said he called for
temporary halt in programming
because of conflicts in scheduling
and "new student interpretations
of the original contract
agreement." The group contract
has been responsible for a

well-received video tape series on
campus this quarter.
Earlier in the quarter, the
group contract was developed by
Sid White and students after
consultation with members of the
Library Media Services. The
ambitious program is aimed at
coordinating and televising video
productions by members of the
contract group. It also sought to
provide a community
information outlet for
campus-wide video tape

programs, a tape exchange with
video groups from outside the
Evergreen area and a videotape
library.
Five programs have been aired
up to now, including reports on
the experimental structures group
and family planning sessions,
student films, and a tape of the
Baba Ram Dass visit to
Evergreen. Behind the screens,
White and members of the group

Manager named
An open door policy, an effort
to establish new lines of
communication with students
and a new lease agreement have
come to the Housing Office with
the hiring of a new manager ,
Kathy Williams.
Williams, 26, formerly of
Eugene, Oregon, was appointed
manager May 1 by John Moss,
who was recently named Director
of Auxiliary Services.
"My first goal is to open
communication with students,"
Williams said. "I want students to
feel like our door is always open,
that we will listen and act upon
any comments or complaints
they may have," Williams added.
As part of her effort to open
the door, Williams will host a
housing forum today at 7 p.m. in
the Conversation Lounge of
Building A. She will introduce
herself, John Moss, and Ron
Coleman, the Housing Activities
Coordinator.
As manager, her first official
change in housing procedures is
the establishment of a longer
lease agreement.
"In the past we've had
month-to-month agreements,"
Williams said. "Next year students
will be asked to sign leases for
one, two or three quarters. This
will cut down housing costs
considerably and, we hope, will
also insure a steadier rate of
occupancy in the dorms and the
modular housing units."
Williams, formerly a
journalism student at the
University of Oregon, managed
an off-campus apartment house

KA"/HY WILLIAMS
in Eugene for 18 months. She has
also worked as a court clerk in
Thurston County Superior Court
and with the Human Affairs
Council.
She assumes the post formerly
held by Gerald Burke. But,
according to Moss, the job is a
different one.
"Kathy will serve as an
operations manager-in charge of
day to day activities, rather than
as a policy-maker," Moss said.

Environn1entalists
to visit Arizona
By BARBARA MADSEN
Sunrise, May 1, witnessed the
departure of nine pounds of
granola, thirty loaves of bread,
three cases or oranges, three cases
of apples, twenty pounds ·of,
cheddar cheese, ten pounds of
processed cheese, ten pounds of
swiss cheese, two gallons of
Planter's peanut butter, fifty
quarts of powdered milk, forty
gallons of lemon-ade, and fifteen
pounds of margarine.
"We're all armed with can
openers too," added Stephen
Waste of the Evergreen
Environment Group Contract, as
their group, with the above
supplies, left for the
Southwestern Research Station
of the American Museun of
Natural History in Arizona. "Uck

comment, "we'll have heart
attacks from all the cholesterol in
the food."
The five cars, packed with
people, equipment, and food, will

reach the research station in
eleven days, after making nightly
stops at research stations, game
sanctuaries, and forestry stations
in Oregon, Nevada, and
California. The students have
undergone intensive training in
scientific writing, data collection,
statistical methods, computer
programming, organism
identification, and ecological
sampling.
Amid the Chiricahua
Mountains in Southeastern
Arizon, these nomadic members
of the community will put their
preparation and training into
action under the direction of AI
Wiedemann, a botanists, and
Steve Herman, an ecologist-both
biology PH.d's and Evergreen
faculty members.
"We'll be collecting specimens
and conducting field research all
the way to Arizona," faculty
member Steve Herman said.
"Once there, we'll work with
professional researchers, studying

Specimens will be collected
at the Arizona station, which is
one of five field stations operated
by the American Museum of
Natural History. Those
specimens, along with others
gathered during the field trip, will
form the beginnings of an
Evergreen Museum of Natural
History.
The prime purpose of the trip
is not to establish the museum,
Herman said, "but to expose
students to different
environments and to give them an
opportunity to compare the high

Stephen Waste; " ...a biological

Monday afternoon, students
seemed eager and excited. One
said he was "tired of Evergreen"
and was really looking forward to
getting into field biology. Sarah
Lilly spoke of the suntan, rest,
books to be read and exposure
she anticipated. Some plan to
return to campus with live
specimens. One girl termed the
trip as a "big exam," an actual
expedition for the school because
all of the findings will be

Lilly added.

contract have disagreed on the
structure and role of . the
videotape series on campus.
Last week, White asked each
individual member of the
contract to evaluate his or her
learning experiences and activities
in relation to the contract
agreement and to suggest a means
of improving the scheduling and
quality of programming. The
group responded with an
"Evergreen Exchange Video
Group Constitution," which
stated the philosophy and
objectives of the students and,
according to White, "rewrote the
original group contract

agreement." This act led to
White's decision to order the
unplugging of the transmitting
circuit until problems could be
ironed out.
Students in · the contract
contend that White
misinterpreted the spirit of the
group contract, while White
insists that the new proposal
deviates from agreements made in
the original contract. The new
student constitution emphasizes
the stations role as a "common
carrier," a public outlet for video
productions generated in the
Evergreen community. It
emphasizes the tremendous need
for an organized means through

New housing manager
Cutting back the arts at
Evergreen and replacement of
non-attending student members
were the main topics of
discussion at the April 26
Sounding Board meeting.
Tamara Swift brought up the
problem of the arts being cut
back. She was worried that
students may be forced to leave
because faculty now working in
music, theater arts and dance will
be assigned to Coordinated
Studies next year and won't be
able to devotd their time to

work load for eight full-time
students." "In any event," he
added, "only an academic dean
can legally change a group
contract agreement."
According to Max Salkin, a
member of the contract, "the
change was made because of the
spontaneous nature of the
me dium ... and because people
bring us tapes to get immediate
viewing and want them back in a
few days which makes weekly
screening times unrealistic." '
White feels that his role of
supervisor, as stated in the
original contract, makes him
potentially "accountable or at
least responsible for programming
that is libelous or in bad taste."
He shut down the station, he
said, partially because advance
screenings agreement hadn't been
kept. According to White, the
philosophy behind the clause was
"to make censorship a matter to
be decided cooperatively by the
students and their sponsor. He
added that "up to now, there has
not been any objectionable
material requiring censorship."
The students of the contract
contend that he "hasn't stayed
for more than five minutes at any
screening session ...and (that) he
has seen only one complete show
out of the five that have been
broadcast up to now."
White says he pulled the plug

on the station to express his
"dissatisfaction with the
progressively declining quality of
the programming over the
quarter ...and to provide time for
the group to organize themselves
so that they can develop an
organization and schedule which
would make better use of their
technical advisors, equipment
resources, and faculty sponsor."
More Feedback
Another member of the group,
Robyn Smith, is concerned that
she has been "spending too much
time working for credit and not
enough on learning the complex
skills of video production ..." and
plans to "quit the program if the
new proposal isn't approved."
White thinks that improvements
in organization and scheduling
would contribute to a better
learning situation.
The future of Channel 6
awaits a settlement of the
dispute. Salkin is waiting for
White "to come out with a
written statement of his views."
White thinks that the group has
"painted itself into a comer with
the new constitution," but states
that he wants an agreement to be
reached. Salkin and Cooper are
generally pessimistic about
prospects for agreement in the
near future.

ESP designs new habitat
By Doug Ellis
Wind power? Solar heaters? Visual structures? Ichabod's pole rising?
These are but a few of the many projects that have been or will be
completed within the next few weeks by students enrolled in the
Experimental Structure program.
This hardy group of outdoorspersons can be found along Driftwood
Road near the Day Care Center. Led by Faculty Member Phillip
Harding, the students are finding ways in which visual structures can
become "self-contained energy systems. We are trying to match the
environment as closely as possible," said Dick Moats, a student in the
"experimental" program.
The Experimental Structure Project (ESP), "was conceived last year
as a program that would enable students to construct and inhabit
structures of their own design," explained student Gary Norton.
It was planned to allow students to experience "the total design
process from idea, research, construction and habitation, to subsequent
modification."
"Many students labor for months before submitting their proposals
to the seminar" said Norton, "I plan to build my own structure before
the end of the quarter."
Only one visual structure has been built. It was designed and
constructed by Dave Carstens, with a little help from his friends. "The
main building (now under construction) will be completed at the end of
the quarter or the beginning of next," Norton stated. It is built entirely
of scrounged materials by students who are learning basic carpentry
skills as well as structural engineering.
A community within a community, the Experimental Structure
program makes no decisions without input by all members. Decisions
usually concern who will build what and where. Designs and plans are
hashed over at seminars held in the woods.
The individual who initiated the original design or project is then
responsible for its completion. But the ESP community ~elps when the
need arises. Such was the case when erecting Ichabod's pole.
ICHABOD'S POLE
The erection of Ichabod's fir pole was a sight to behold. About 16
members of the group, including some outside helpers, grunted and
groaned as Ichabod's construction began to take form. The pole was
then positioned at the angle specified in Ichabod's designs. This
erection was the first step in construction of his newly planned visual
structure. "Ichabod planned for about a month on the design of the
structure," Lee McDonald, a student in ESP, commented.
McDonald said that the basics are taken care of first. Things like
structure, water, and power are of first importance; then people fill in
according to interest and need. A water tank or tower of some sort for

a Miami jury that current

police to identify marijuana
are scientifically unsound.
Dr. Sh ultes testified in the

arrested last November on
possession of marijuana
charges.
Using a series of slides
and lectures, Dr. Shultes
demonstrated to the jury
that there is not one but
three kinds of "cannabis"
plants in the world. Florida
laws and federal laws
currently outlaw the
cannibis plant known as
"cannabis sativa" - - the
plant whose dried leaves are
commonly sold as
marijuana.
The jury then
unanimously agreed that
the defendant might very
well have been possessing
one of the legal cannabis
plants since police have no
method of proving
differently.

Library DTF formed
A Disappearing Task Force has
been formed to investigate
problems arising from the
proposed library budget, which
has been cut down from last
year's alloted amount and will
entail the firing of several staff
and student employees.
Problems concerning
philosophical and budgetary
priorities are to be examined in
order to issue definite guidelines
to the budget committee. These
matters involve certain services
and procedures of uncertain
necessity in the maintenance of
the library, such as the
acquisition of more books and

more service facilities (photocopy
machines, television,
photographic equipment,
rnicroftlrn, etc.), 'both of which
would mean less money available
for hiring.
More specific detailing of a
minimum budget needed to keep
the Library operational will be
discussed as will any innovations
which could possibly be of aid in
meeting the budget as it stands
now.
Due to death in his family,
Rudy Martin was absent from the
DTF. Dave Meyers will act as
chairman until circumstances
dictate Martin's return.

Kung Fu: deadliest
form of fighting

By CHARLES WILUAMS
There is very little information
to be had about the martial art of
Kung Fu, except what you see on
television or obtain from talking
with people who know the art.
The local expert on the subject is
Mel Pratt, a student at Evergreen
who teaches classes in Kung Fu
on campus twice a week. Mel has
been practicing Kung Fu for 8 of
his 27 years , and has also taught
karate.
WILLIAMS: "Mel, if a Karate
expert were t o fight a Kung Fu
expert of equal size, strength and
ability, who would win?"
PRATT: "The one trained in
Kung Fu would most definitely
come out ahead. A Karate expert
doesn't stand a chance against a
person who has really been
trained in Kung Fu. We don't
have a sequence of punching and
blocking like in Karate. We either
block and punch simultaneously
with both hands, or deflect and
punch with the same hand. We
don't waste time. In Kung Fu the
movements are more flowing
than in Karate. Each manuever
puts you in a position for a rapid
series of punches and blocks.
There is no static moment during
the transition between stances. In
Karate there is nothing at this
point, whereas we have
techniques for defensive counter
attacts. We have too many
counters against their counters. If
a Karate expert were to beat a
Kung Fu expert, it would have to
be with Kung Fu techniques."
WILLIAMS: "Are there any
Kung Fu organizations or
tournaments in the U.S.?"
PRATT: "There's no

idea of it. For the person is
trained exactly for street fighting,
for disposing of an attacker as
quickly as possible, as a way of
preserving yourself. In a street
encounter there should be only
an action and reaction. First the
opponent attacks, then you
counter attack. That should stop
it right there. If someone is going
to do something to you that they
have no right to do, you're going
to have to react instantly to drop
him with his first move. Once
he's down, you have to know
that he won't get up and jump
you as you're walking away. You
have to thoroughly do him in.
You're not going to screw around
with a Jot of fancy fisticuffs or
grappling techniques. You're
going to use a technique which is
strongly emphasized in Kung
Fu-which is to go for the eyes
and blind that person."
WILLIAMS: "People might
find that hard to accept."
PRATT: "People have called
me names before. But western~rs
and Kung Fu practicioners don't
see things alike.If someone for
some crazy reason attacks me, I
can Jet him beat the natural hell
out of me, and get maimed or
killed, or I can defend myself,
using all that I know to my
fullest ability. I see nothing
wrong in that. It just comes down
to a matter of survival."
WILLIAMS: "Tell me, is the
actor who plays Caine in the
Kung Fu television program any
good by experts standards?"
PRATT: "Not at all. He's just
an actor. An expert doubles for
him in fight scenes. You notice
that in the fights he handles

settlement or province had its
master and practicioners of
martial arts to protect the
population from bullies or
bandits. Of course these masters
didn't pick on the weak. They
looked upon the protection of
the community as their main
obligation. Some were celibates
who dedicated their whole lives
to the arts. Some were members
of clans that secretly passed their
know I edge down from
generation • to generation. The
secrecy was imperative because
these arts meant the difference
between life and death. In early
times each martial art would have
its own name. Some specialized
in kicking techniques, some in
punching, some blended the two.
But as the secrecy surrounding
these arts broke down, there was
more balance in teclmiques, more
flexibility in maneuvers.
"In
fact, many of the
techniques used now in modem
martial arts have been used for
thousands of years in China.
Karate, for example, is a direct
descendent of Kung Fu. Karate
was introduced to Japan by
Okinawans who learned the basic
techniques from the Chinese.
"T h e Okinawans, who
had mainly an agrarian type of
society, lacked the culture of the
Chinese, and couldn't understand
the subtlties of the martial arts.
They were primarily interested in
being able to put a foot or a fist
through the bamboo armor of the
Japanese feudal lords who had
moved in and taken over the

them they chose to utilize and

Driftwood House completes first year
By Sheila Lundin
A bricked, ranch-style house
on Driftwood Road employs the
energies of 15 little dynamos
each day Running, painting and
throwing clay are just a few of
their activities at the Day Care
Center.
The center opened at the
beginning of the 1972 school
year with volunteers clearing the
property and getting the
Driftwood House in shape to
handle the wear and tear of small
children. The center operates
with a staff of 15 students, seven
full-time and eight part-time. Any
student, faculty member or
person in the Evergreen
Community may enroll their
child in the center for about 75
cents for four hours.
There are 30 children
registered, from the ages of four
months to· six years, but only 15
attend at one time. A child may
attend the center from one to
five days a week and from two to
six hours daily.
Some of the children's special
activities are swimming lessons at

the campus Recreation Building
and making their own lunches
once a week. There is currently a
display of the childrens' artwork
in the Library and on May 1
there was a picnic for the kids
and their parents.
I talked to some of the
children Monday, between the
times they weren't stepping on a
tortoise or watching it, which was
something new to them, and
asked them two questions. First,
"Do you like the Day Care
Center?" and second, "What do
like best?" Erin, a little girl of
two years came up with one
answer for both questions, "ya."
Thad, 3, said "I like it because I
can run around and play around
and do stuff in the sand." Susie,
4, when asked the first question
said "ya", but when asked what
she liked best said "nothing."
Four year old Greg, answered the
second question with "play and
eat candy, run around, yell, ya,
that's what I like best and climb
trees." Eric, 3, answered the first
question with "ya," and the
second with "because it's fun."
After two quarters of small

hassles arising from having an all
volunteer staff and trying to
decide how much direction to
give the student helpers, the
Center has fmally jelled together
and are happy with the present
set-up, according to Bonnie Gillis,
director of the Center.
Gillis, 3 7 , attended the

University of Washington for
three-and-a-half years, majoring
in art-which she feels has been a
great asset in working with the
children. She is at Evergreen to
get her bachelor degree, but is on
leave of absence from the group
contract in Early Childhood
Development in order to devote

more time to the Center.
Gillis's interest in working
with children came from teaching
five years at a cooperative
pre-school, where she eventually
held the position of head teacher.
She has attended Gestalt Therapy
classes and workshops through
Head-Start.

as other non-school-affiliated
teams from around the Pacific

some funds for the TESC team
may come from the Student and

Enrollment

and unnecessary panic. This time the focus of concern is
enrollment. Last time it was reorganization and the time
before it was the budget.
Certainly Evergreen, like many many colleges, is having a
problem meeting its full enrollment level. In many ways this
problem is more crucial for Evergreen than most schools,
because we are so young and because of the vigorous fight we
put forth in the legislature to get our enrollment ceiling
increased. If now, after we have persuaded the legislature that
we were ready for more students, we are unable to get those
students, the political ramifications could be far from
pleasant.
The enrollment concern has also led to rumors about
Evergreen's admission procedures. Many people have come to
believe that because we need students we are not turning
away ANYONE who applies. This is not true, although TESC
has had a "de facto" open admissions policy since it was first
opened. The criteria then, and now, is simply whether
Evergreen offers what the student needs. Admissions officers
and faculty review the applications each week.
Despite the legitimacy of concern about enrollment in the
fall and the real need for students to do whatever they can to
attract more people here, the situation is NOT desperate and
talk of the third great crisis should end. It will hardly help
the situation or our image in the eyes of the public or
possible future students.

There is a serious lack of communication between
members of the Video Group Contract and their sponsor.
Ill-advised and, for the most part, emotional responses to the
unplugging of the community television station have been
heard from the Video Group., and Sid White has somewhat
dictatorially dismissed the group's attempt to revise their
contract with him. Neither side having listened to the other,
each appears to have acted without adequate input.
Rather than draw the dispute out to a point beyond
reconciliation, the Video Group should reorganize to
accommodate Mr. White in his role as supervisor. Mr. White,
on the other hand, should reconsider the group's new
evaluation of its aims. They should tune into each other
before pulling the plug on themselves.

THE PAPER
To the Editor:
Very early in Oct., 1971,
Bill Esteb and I became
concerned with the lack of
communication and
information at Evergreen,
and also with the fact that
Evergreen's first year was
slipping by with no one
recording it from the
student's point of view. We
wanted to work on some sort
of "yearbook," but we also
wanted a newspaper to read.
We hoped it would be a real
community paper, not just
another censored "school
paper" or another "radical
paper." So, we called the
first three meetings of
interested students, and
Lester Leahy, Don Martin,
Marvin Wright and others
showed up, and eventually
evolved into the "Paper
Cooperative."
The point of all this
history is that what Bill and I
hoped for has, in my
opinion, finally begun to
come true. As an ordinary
Joe Geoduck, (not a
professional journalism
critic), I'm very pleased with
this year's paper. I don't
mean to depreciate the
"Paper Cooperative" efforts,
they were sincere, but I like
this paper much more.
It's interesting to note

that Lester Leahy is the
creator of the name "The
Paper." It was roundly booed
when he first proposed it, yet
somehow it made it. Lester is
now director of student
activities (or something like
that) at Ft. Steilacoom
Community College, and
their paper's name is oddly
familiar- -. Lester must be
very persuasive. More about
the fate of the "yearbook"

SAMPSON: "Some law enforcement officers contend that spin-off
crimes such as robbery and assault actually take place because of

JAMES: "Whenever you define an activity such as prostitution or,
for example, gambling as a crime, you place it in a criminal
environment. I think it is true that there are crimes such as assault and
larceny but we have laws against assault and larceny and I don't think
we need prostitution as a cover to get at those crimes. If law
enforcement officials are concerned about assault and larceny, they
should arrest people for that, they don't need to arrest prostitutes."

smoke, snorting it up the nose,
chewing or sucking on it, is

being distortive, and satisfies an
oral need. It also carries with it a
tradition, a mythology and
ceremony which is unique to our
cult. Most of us find that it is
worth paying the monetary price
for all of this.
This cult is no different than
others, and like any addiction it
carries its dangers. I suppose it
could be compared to
Catholicism. There is evidence

that Catholicism can be injurious
to the health, but depending
upon circumstances and
commitment, it may not be.
Catholicism has its traditions,
ceremonies, and myths, and for
many it is comforting, clarifying,
and pleasurable. It is often passed
down through the family, and
there are many who will not give
it up. It can also satisfy an oral
need. There is also a monetary
price.
I do not say that my cult, my
addiction, is any better than any
others. It may be better than
some, it may be worse. But it is
mine, and when all the
pretensions of life are stripped
away, what else is left?

involved in this reorganization,
and can confidently say that we
have all learned a great deal from
our mistakes, not only about
organization and management,
but about ourselves and what an
affinity group really is.
We have attempted to
decentralize the management of

on neighborhoods for ordering
food and providing a labor force
to work the store. As a
consequence, an increasing
number of people are becoming
familiar with ~very aspect of the
community -owned business-a
built-in educational process.
The reorganization is far from
complete, to be sure. I think it
has suffered first from a failure to
understand and clearly state its
goals, purpose, and its historical
(dialectical) importance. Second,
there seems to be a lack of
genuine critical consciousness,
which has resulted in some
irresponsibility and inefficiency.
The following discourse is not
intended to resolve either of
these deficiencies, but to
promote discussion and the
necessary critique that will.

Co-operatives
The founders of co-operative
principles set forth their ideas for
organization during a time when
free-enterprise capitalism was
failing to produce enough for the
communities of Europe,
particularly in agriculture.
However, with the development
of monopoly capitalism, the
social fiber of western life has
changed drastically. Our
economic and political structures
are now organized around a
consumer society, and our social
relations are mediated through
endless bureaucracies and mass
media.
"Consumerism" is based on
mass consumption, which
facilitates the growth of
corporate production and the
consolidation of political power
in the hands of the corporate
elite. This mass society, by its
very structure, fosters
centralization, massification and

manipulation . Inorganic,
organized like a factory, it tends
to inhibit the development of a
whole community.
People, too, have become
objects, of advertising and
consumption, but also in their
dealings with institutions and
among themselves. Our relations

whose sole function is to
mediate. This is the nature of
mass society. It is composed of
an aggregate of nuclear fllmilies,
detached and anonymous. We live
in cities physically close, yet
socially apart. We are defined by
what we consume. Though we
speak of individual freedom,
ironically, success is determined
by how well we conform.
Clearly, one of the deepest
contradictions of "the
movement" of past decade has
been our failure to understand
and organize ourselves in forms
that negate mass society. To be
sure, the libidinal release of mass
demonstrations and the sexual
revolution was a necessary
response to our death-oriented
culture . They are the
spontaneous expressions common
to all past revolutions. But these
alone do not produce a
revolution in society or in values,
and we gain nothing by
reconstructing the hierarchy of
mass society in the
movement-particularly through
the unpopular, obsolete, or vulgar
forms of the Old Left.
In this context the
CQaoperative takes on a new
dialectical importance. It negates
mass consumerism and mediation
by bringing the operation directly
face-to-face with the individual in
a community. She decides what
kinds and quality of food she will
buy, and how the distribution of
food will be handled, for
example. Co-operation and
service are the primary
considerations, not profit and
mass production. It also is at this
time perhaps one of the only
vehicles available for building a
base of popular support.

Construction

M~~. shrinkingly, would education

communist idealism ...
Robert Shore

To the Editor,
I have long been
concerned about the
structure of this school. It
has been constructed in a
most inefficient, and in some
cases dangerous manner. I
refer to two things in
particular which have
affected me most directly:
the path between the mods
and the dorms, and the way
the stairs are constructed in
the library building.
The path between the
mods and the dorms is
curved unnecessarily, as far
as I can see. Rather than
being efficiently straight so
as to cut the distance one
must walk, it now adds yards
to the distance, and also
takes the walker dangerously
close to the woods that
border the field.
The stairs in the library
building are not as inefficient
as they are dangerous. They
are constructed in such a way
as to provide a nice little
ledge on each stair so that a
person walking up them will
be treated, if he is not careful
and judicious, with a horrible
falL '
Fortunately the banisters
ar~ s ch that one may sliJ;le
down them, side saddle, and
therefore avoid the
freacherous path which one
had to encounter on the way
up.
Another note which might
.be of interest concerning the
construction of the school. I
was talking with a student
from Jefferson Jr. High here
in Olympia and he
commented, "It's too bad
that they made Evergreen
out of cement. You couldn't
burn it down if you wanted
to."
Alan Baines Henderson

Commie
To the Editor:
Don Martin, in his
article about Key 73, has
shown himself to be both
Anti-American and
brainwashed. His long ranged
rhetoric on capitalism,
religion and the nature of
man show a typical
communist socialist thought
pattern. Their ideas should
have died in the nineteenth
century along with the only
good communist.
Don Martin, behind the
times in so many ways,
although intelligent, has let
his worst, over-humane side
get to him. One had best not
criticize both the gods and
country unless one is able to
stand .complet~ly alone.

Kharmic norm
To the Editor:
Martin, in his article last
week on Key 73 and in his
article this week, has shown
the insight and intelligence of
a true thinker. His deep
analysis of incidents not
obviously connected to our
kharmic norm was both
refreshing and, if you pardon
the expression, enlightening.
Stan Kersson

So far away
To the Editor:
I object to the fact that
Seattle is so far away from
Evergreen. Because of the
distance, it is difficult to use
and take advantage of the
l)lany facilities that are
available in the city. Relying
on cars, which not everyone
has, or hitchhiking is a waste
of previous time, and it is too
close to fly. In a sense,
Seattle is too far to walk, too
close to run, and one cannot
always drive.
What I propose is that
Ev~ work ourplan
with Seattle engineers to
move Seattle closer to
Evergreen, putting the
downtown area of Seattle
where Olympia is now. Thus
we could take advantage of
all the city has to offer, and
combine the state's largest
city and the capital at the
same time.
The problem of moving is
not quite as difficult as it
might first appear. If we
could take all the power that
is used driving to and from
Seattle, and put it into a
large engine fastened to
Seattle's north end, we could
drive the entire city right
down our way. What is now
Olympia would be
incorporated into Seattle,
and this would solve the
problem of having too many
cities. We would just
consolidate the two.
As for Bellevue, we would
leave that just where it is and
let the commuters drive
across the floating bridges
into nowhere.

in Washington
State spend from $10,000 $20,000 a year to bring
speakers of national
1eminence to their campuses.
Here at Evergreen, we would
estimate that less than
$3,000 has been spent on
this purpose;
The advantages of such a
program for Evergreen would
be twofold: first, the public
relations value of national
speaker programs for college
institutions has already been
established and Evergreen is
badly in need of all the
positive PR it can get. A
national speakers program
would be worth the expense
in its public relations value to
the college alone.
Furthermore, the
academic merits of a national
speakers program would be
valuable. Expanding our
exposure to diverse and
controversial thought is one
of the reasons for a college
education. To hear those
ideas expressed personally by
the originator of a particular
concept and to have the
opportunity to ask questions
of such an individual and to
exchange viewpoints with
them
could add
immeasurably to a student's
. education.
Today, at 4 p.m. in Room
3121 of the Library building,
the Graduation DTF will
meet to make some of the
final decisions in regard to
graduation. One of the ideas
that will be discussed at the
meeting will be whether or
not to have a nationally
prominent graduation
speaker. If you are a
graduating senior and you
have some thoughts on this,
you might want to express
them at the meeting.

Prosecutor's office to bring you before an inquiry judge to tell all you
know about prostitution. Did this ever occur?"
JAMES: "No. The subpoena was squashed with the help of the
A.C.L.U. and the Department of Social and Health Services, the agency
which had requested that I do the research. Also, I had a letter from the
former Seattle Chief of Police authorizing the research.
SAMPSON: "Is it true that women can get a heavier jail sentence for
prostitution than for assault?"
JAMES: "Yes. We keep records and we have a number of cases in
which experienced prostitutes have done much longer sentences for
prostitution. Some judges view prostitution as a very serious moral
offense and believe the woman has to be punished for that."
SAMPSON: "There was an amendment before the King County
Council to make the customer as liable as the prostitute. Has this
occurred?"
JAMES: "No. It is equally against the law for a customer to solicit as
it is for a prostitute, but its very difficult to enforce the law equally.
It's hard to catch the customers and its distasteful for the police to
arrest a regular citizen. Most arrests of prostitutes are made by police
officers posing as customers, so its hard to catch the customer at tl1e
same time."
SAMPSON: "What problems do prostitutes have?
JAMES: "Prostitutes have problems that everyone has in terms of
handling their lives. Their problems are exacerbated by their
involvement with the criminal justice system. I don't think that
prostitution is a particulary good vocation for women, in fact, I think
its negative, but their problems are made ten times worse by law
enforcement agencies. So their chief problem is the law. After that,
they have much the same types of problems as you and I."
SAMPSON: "King County Councilwoman Bernice Stem has said
that we should make it possible for you and I to walk safely on the
street rather than make it unsafe for streetwalkers. What do you feel
the business of the police department should be?"
JAMES: "I think that it is clear that we have sufficient serious crime
in property and personal crime that we should question the spending of
50 per cent of police time on victimless crimes such as prostitution,
gambling, narcotics, pornography, homosexuality and various others. It
is a shame that it is not a nice, clean, tidy world, but I am much more
concerned with burglary and homicide and assault than I am with
pornography. My feeling is that even though the police say that an
increase in personnel wouldn't affect their clearance rates on serious
crimes, I think that says something about the police department. What I
would like to see is the time in the courts and the correction facilities
devoted to se.tiow crimes. " .
SAMPSON: "Are you awar~ Of any polls indicating the extent to
which the public favors decriminalization of some crimes such as
prostitution?"
JAMES: "There have been a number of polls taken on prostitution.
Specifically, though my memory may fail me, 47 per cent favored
decriminalization. The Advocates television program poll showed 64
percent favored decriminalization. A large poll taken in California last
year when they were doing the marijuana initiative showed that many,
many people, in fact, more than 50 per cent favored the
decriminalization of victimless crimes. So I think that there is a definite
trend to changing the Jaws."
SAMPSON: "What are your plans for your own future at this time?"
JAMES: "Well, I must admit that I am tired of being labeled as the
prostitute lady. I have many other interests. I am very interested in law
reform. I am very interested in treatment programs, diversion programs
for all offenders. Most of my research now is in the area of general
female offenders and possible treatment models. I am very much
interested in community mental health. I teach sexual education
courses here in the medical school and I have a very broad range of
concern. Prostitution was evidently something that no one else was
willing to say anything about, so I got a lot of attention. In some ways,
I regret it because one gets labled and limited and many people have a
narrow definition of my interest, but I feel that I've said what I believe,
and what the research stood for, and that it is time for people like
myself not to stay at the university and talk only with our colleagues
but to talk to the community. So I do not regret that I did it but I must
admit sometimes I think life would have been a little easier if I hadn't."

COSMIC WHEELS
DONOVAN

By Kevin Hogan

Listening to Donovans new album, COSMIC WHEELS, sent me on a
journey of listening ecstasy. I found the journey to be a very long and
delightful one.
Donovan's early recordings are a mixture of traditional English
ballads and American folk and blues. During this time, he penned such
songs as "Sunny Goodge Street," "Hey Gyp," and "Catch the Wind."
As his popularity progressed, Donovan began moving toward the flower
power music he is most famous for, and eventually into rock music.
During this period he wrote such songs as "Mellow Yellow," "Sunshine
Superman," "There is a Mountain," "Hurdy Gurdy Man," and "Season
of the Witch."
During the late sixties, Donovan was one of the most popular artists
around. His records were instant million sellers, and his performances
were always sellouts. But with the corning bf the Seventies, Donovan's
popularity ended as rapidly as it began. In 1970, Donovan recorded
"Open Road." With this effort Donovan left his long-time producer,
Mickie Most, and handled that chore by himself. The album, mostly
made up of rock-styled music, proved to be a disaster for Donovan, and
what many people thought 10 be his downfall as a performer.
But now after nearly three years without either an album or a
perform'ance, Donovan is back again. He has a new album, and has
written and performed the music for Franco Zeffirelli's new movie,
"Brother Sun, Sister Moon."
With "Cosmic Wheels," it appears that Donovan is trying to take us
on a soaring trip through space. The album as a whole falters instead of
soaring. Wheels is continually up and down between strong and weak
songs. As I see it, "Cosmic Wheels" is half good and half bad, as there

are five great songs and five poor songs.

an EVergreen
student, on the display board by
media loan is interesting, but the
other two by Judy Dater and the
New York Visual Studies
Workshop have truly compelling
elements.
Judy Dater, 31, a well-known
photographer from Los Angeles,
has some of her black and white
photographs hanging at the far
end of the Libraty by the piano.
Her works are mostly of women,
and in these photographs one sees
them with what seems to be more
frankness and honesty than you
could imagine possible.
All of her subjects are oddly
aristocratic, pompous creatures,
many decked out in feathers and
thick make-up, so elaborately
arrayed that their sex cannot be
distinguished. The photographs
are softly focused, blue-gray, and
the intense stares of her subjects
seem somehow misplaced as if
they were strangers, perhaps a

little hungry, perhaps a little lost.
The New York Visual Studies
Workshop, based in Rochester,
also has a display of over seventy
black and white photos, photo
silkscreens, photo lithographs and
cyanotypes (non-silver emulsion),
in the Libraty alcove and fourth
floor gallery.
The work that struck me the
most was Barry Matur's five
panels of a nude woman moving
around a dingy yellow room.
There was a greater sense of
energy in these two than I found
in most of the others.
The photo silkscreens were
extremely interesting and well
done. There were also seven
color prints, mostly by B. Wilson.
His most exciting prints were a
series of.photos at a picnic, where
the separation of the colors fit in
perfectly with the weirdness of
the picnic scenes.
Christopher Raushenberg's
photographs on display are quiet
stilllifes. They are well done and
some show an unnerving sense of
stillness and emptiness but for
the most part they didn't seem
very gripping.

creators of the Williams Toy
Theater. The Williamses' were on
campus Monday night to present
their puppet drama, "The
Serpent King and the Throne of
Light."
The play is based on the
mythology of ancient Persia,
which as Williams explained prior
to the presentation, has a
dualistic outlook, stressing the
basis of conflict as a struggle
between good and evil forces.
The play, complete with
representation of divinities and
mystics, as well as mortal
characters, centers around the

to sell wares
Two booths at the University
District Street Fair in Seattle will
be staffed by Evergreen artists
and craftsmen attempting to sell
their wares on May 19 and 20.
All students are eligible as long
as they transport their own goods
to Seattle and agree to a ten per
cent c.omrnission that will go into
a fund for future art workshops.
Ceramics, jewelry, batik,
paintings, and leatherwork, are
samples of crafts represented at
the fair.
Students interested in the fair
or in helping construct the two
booths should contact Steve
Bollinger at 3388 in the CRC
from 1 - 4 p.m.
TESC Art Exhibit
Student artists will have a
chance to display their work on
May 16 in an art show sponsored
by the Visual Environment
Board. Cash prizes will be
awarded, and there is a 50 cent
per article entry fee. Contact
Steve Bollinger if interested.
Evergreeners who don't want
to make the trip to Seattle to sell
their works may find their chance
in the Evergreen Arts and Craft
Fair on May 31. Steve says it will
be geared to the local community
with no pre-registration or fees
involved. Anyone interested can
set up a table in front of the
school on the day of the show
between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. All
crafts including homemade bread

ECCO presents evening of entertainment
Talented members of The
Evergreen community have
prepared a varied program of
song, dance and musical
entertainment for the third
annual meeting of the Evergreen
College Community Organization
(ECCO). The event will be held
on Tuesday, May 8, beginning at
8 p.m., in the fourth-floor
cafeteria of the Daniel J. Evans
Library on campus.
Featured on the program will
be the Evergreen Chamber
Singers and the Evergreen Jazz
Ensemble, both under the
direction of Donald Chan; Joan
and William Winden, versatile
singers of both popular and
operatic music; the Ballet
Northwest dancers, under the

choreographic direction of
Bernard Johansen; and the
Evergreen Recorder Consort.
Chan, Johansen and Winden are
all members of the Evergreen
faculty. Mrs. Winden are all
members of the Evergreen
faculty. Mrs. Win den has sung in
several of this season's Seattle
Opera presentations.

the hopes that it will induce
those who haven't already visited
the campus to make that visit.
A brief business meeting will
precede the program, during
which ECCO officers for 1973-74
will be elected.

Past ECCO annual meetings
have given members an
opportunity to enlarge their
understanding of The Evergreen
State College, its philosophy,
modes of instruction, and
curriculum. This year, in a
departure from such serious
intent, they have planned an
evening of pure entertainment in

throne of light. Prince Zahok,
yielding to the temptation of evil,
sanctions the murder of his father
to assume the throne. But as a
price for his actions, two serpents
spring forth from his body, which
he must support by feeding them
the brains of two Persian youths
daily. The reign of the Serpent
King is therefore necessarily
ruthless.

farmer and his wife. After the
Prince has matured, he struggles
with the Serpent King for the
Throne of Light, and evil rule is

Puppeteers present show
From Page 10
The production, one o.
the Williamses' present repertoire,
required over four months of
constant preparation, developing
stage movements, story line and
construction of the puppets. All
of the puppets used in the play
were handmade to authentically

portray the characters of the
Persian folklore. They are part of
the Williamses' collection of over
I ,000 puppets.
Both of the Williarnses have a
background in theater, which
lends itself very well to the
development of a very

professional-appearing puppet
theater. They have been
interested in puppeteering for
seven years, first as a hobby and
now as a professional endeavor.
Their presentation at Evergreen
was sponsored by the Eye-S
series.

Record review
From Page 10
The album gets off to a strong start with the title song, "Cosmic
Wheels" only to fall flat with a drab spacey blues tune called "Earth
Sign Man." "Sleep," and "Maria Magenta," the next two songs, almost
get off the ground, but don't quite make it. "Sleep" is too cluttered
with space age sound effects, while "Maria Magenta" is a nice tune,
with a good beat, but some of the most inane lyrics Donovan has ever
written. It would probably make a good single.
Side one ends with "Wild Witch Lady," the strongest cut on the
album, a driving ethereal song, with a solid bass drum and high voices
that float you away, and a snapping snare drum that brings you right
back.
Side two takes up where side one left off with "The Music Makers,"
a really fine song that reminds me, oddly enough, of "Dancing in the
Streets," 1973 style. Next is "The Intergalactic Laxative," a whimsical
tune about :spacemen who wear diapers. "I Like You," is nice, but not
up to par with the good songs on the album. "Only the Blues" is
without a doubt the worst song on the album. But "Cosmic Wheels"
pulls itself out of the mud once again with "Appearances" which ends
the album as good as it began. '
"Cosmic Wheels" is far below the standard Donovan has set for
himself in previous efforts. I hope he comes out with a solid effort next
time, until then, I'll just go back and listen to my worn out old
Donovan records.
As usual, albums reviewed in this column are provided by the nice
guys at Rainy Day Record Co., Westside Center.
