THE BIGGEST GAME IN TOWN

four cards cost one dime.
The numbers are ca lled off from balls
which blow around in something that
looks like a cafeteria grape drink machine.
One at a time the balls blow up into the
tube , stopping miraculously at the top of
the tube. The call'e r readIes for and grabs
the ball , read ing out the number, B - 59.
She t hen displays the nUll}ber to the play ers with a semicircular movement of her
a rm , repeating the number ou t loud into a
microphone. No one on the floor seems to
care. n(' o ne look s up to see if it really is
B - 50 .
T he ba ll is pl aced d o wn on a racK until
th e next ga me, a nd the ca ller's fingers

quickly pick up the next ball waiting in
the tube. Her amplified voice seems resonant , deeper than when she talks in conversation . She is a pro at running the
game. She is young, under 25 years of
age.
The fat woman eats a sandwich which
is sa ndwiched in between her cards. Free
food cannot be served in bingo parlors, so
she sack- lunched it today in the city of
Lacey . The game is being held in an old
drugstore in a small shopping plaza. Right
next door is the Goodwill store.
.
But in the Parlor cigarette smoke
streaks the ceiling, like spun glass on blue
C hristmas tree lights. The woman eats
w ith one hand, her left hand, keeping her
score with her right hand, waiting for a
Bi ngo.
)
"You ought to tr::i playing it," the floor
girl tells me. "Foir cards for a dime,
though it really is more interesting with
eigh t. "
I smile. Do you play Bingo?
"No. but the people who do seem to
enjoy it. " She points at a slender, middleaged woman playing eight cards. "She
comes in every Thursday and plays all
day. You don't see her at any of the other
games.
I smile . Are most of the p layers regulars ?
"Some," she tells me. "It is pretty addicting. "
We smile. I choose not to try my luck.
The people, the players, a ll look bored!
This is what I cannot comprehend. Bored '
Vacan t faces, blank eyes. Even the winners look dead or dying, blank, saying,
"Bingo" in flat voices, holding up the
w inning card. The floor girl is by the winner's side, calling o ut the numbers for
confirmation from the caller. Confirmed,
she ha nds the winner a ten dollar bill, and
a new game begins.
The pace seems absurdly slow. I don't
understand it. Each game takes just three
minutes to play, on the average . Each
round of a championship fight lasts only
three minutes, and time just flies! Even
commercia ls on the tube go by faster than
a bingo game .
And it isn' t suspense . There is no suspense on the filcPS of the players.

It is like a slow void. It is like a church
choir halfway through the minister's sermon.
This is the Ludlow Foundation; The Big
One: A. Ludlow Kramer, former Secre. tary of State of Washington, the head of
the Hearst 1100d Give-away, and now the
owner of his private Foundation.
The Foundation receives only what
money is left over after expenses, and expenses total 92 % of the money taken in.
Seventy-seven percent goes back to the
players; 15 % 'is paid to the employees
and other overhead expenditures. The
Foundation the,n distributes the remaining
8 % to chosen charities, everything from
earthquake relief to school district relief
when levies fail.
Chance and charity.
Chance: A Ludlow Kramer himself enters unexpectedly.
We begin to talk.
Have you ever played Bingo?
"No. I try and make it a point never to
participate in the things that I do. You
run the risk of becoming emotional if you
do."
[s it working 7
Kramer looks at me. "I don't know. It's
working as far as the fact that we're playing Bingo and giving the money to charities. It's a new concept. I enjoy experimenting with new concepts."
He smiles and lights another cigarette .
Lud Kramer comes across as feisty and
enthusiastic, and his enthusiasm is contagious.
Is the game growing?
Kramer smiles. " Every day ."
Bingo games grow in two ways; more
players playing more cards. Pros can han··
dIe 16 cards a sho t, amateurs four to
eight. O lympia, I am assured, is a city of
ama teurs.
The photographer and I leave the parlor. The players won't leave until the last
game is won .
Outside the building two kids on tiptoes try to see the act ion over the brown
butcher paper with the letters BINGO !

to join them , but the photographer is
headed towards the Goodwill store . I fo llow her.

The next chapter of the long march
takes you to the Registrar where you pick
up a transfer card and return to g et tile
signature of your new faculty. That com pleted, you must now track down your
old faculty coordinator (if he / she can be
found at aI/) , get his / her signature and return to th e Registrar with the transfer
card grasped tightly in yo'ur sweating
hand.
The Registrar approves the who le mess
and gives you a slip of paper acknowledg ing the transfer which yOI~ take to the
Cashier. At the Cashier's office you pay
the bill for the next quarter, and receive a
receipt.
It 's back to th e Registrar once again
with the little rt!ceipt trailing not far behind. Flashing the receipt, you pull out
your 1. D . card which is dutifully validated, thus ending another segment in the
great "registration game. "
Evergreen administrators are gambling
that the new Student Access Center just
may he the solution to this entire mess.
Larry Stenberg has been named dean of
the access group and plans are rolling
ahead in the hopes of having the center
functionin g by next fall.
T he center will have a dramatic effect
on the way students do business with the
college. Instead of being the long, drawn-

o ut and tiring affairs they now are , a rra ng ing financial aid , re gi stering and
a hos t of other similar tran sactions will be
ca rried out quickl y , in one place. No ma t ter who you are , at some point in your
academic career at Evergreen you'll come
into contact with the offices housed in tb e
access center. It's una·Joidable.
A
big
reas o n
behind
th e
Access Center is to eliminate the grea t
physical distance s between the offic es
which now exist. Re)l;istrar Walker Allen
speaks of the "seven long distance trips
on campus" a student must make to reg ister. All those trips not only take extra.
unnecessary time but tend to confuse no t
only new students, unfamiliar wit h Ev ergreen, but eve n students, faculty and staff
who have been aro und for a while.
Three remodeling plans proposed by
Dean Clabaugh in February were the ta rget of much critic ism by potential Access
Cen ter staff members. The plans called
for remodeling a porti on of the Library 's
first floor into a large bullpen type of fice to hold the Center. Crit ics charged
that the plans were too costly (estimat ed
at $50,000) and the design (one large,
open room filled wit h 34 desks) wouldn' t
give them the privacy they needed to op erate properly . The plans were withdrawn

When I first came to Evergreen slightly
less than a yea r ago, my fr iends were
three artists and a dog a nd I felt alone in
a wor ld of vege ta rians and potlucks . Then
o ne night I went to a room with a piano
a nd a lanky stranger. He introduced him self to some 40 people. The lights went
down and all I saw were ten fin gers and a
set of keys.
He played not only 'upon the blacks
and ivories, but upon us, the audience . It
was we who merged slowly into Music.
The keys cried a funeral dirge for a ship
whose rising mainsail pointed towards the
trail left by a morning star. And we cried.
The keys were made to laugh a tale of
dragons and knights playing with buttoned swords and paper flames and danc ing to the rainbow's shadow. Then it was
over.
To Michael music is as imperative as
food or sleep is to any of the rest of us.
There is Jazz and Blues and Rock and
Classical Music. And then there is Michael. A bar or two of Bach, a snatch of the
Grateful Dead, a bit of New Orleans at
Mardi Gras, can all be found wafting
across the keys at his touch .
Those of you who saw Holly Near or
have heard people talk about her concert,
used or heard words like "magic" and
"high." Those of you who miss the performance tonight at 8 p.m. in the Library
Lobby will have saved enough money to
buy two avacados but will have missed
what I promise to be the most heartwarming event to happen to Evergreen since
Geoduck slid its way across our brick
walkways. It will be more than just
\i!.nother concert.

EDITORIAL
by J ill Stewart
W ith the newly created position of Dean of Enrollment Services
now till ed by Larry Stenberg a nd the new Access Center planned
lor tlpe rat ion nex t fall, somebody is finally directly responsible for
the enro llment and turn over problem at Evergreen.
The 50°" turnover tha t nea rly cripped so me programs this year
lorced Evergree n into directing much of its academic energy to ac clim ating contused new st ud ents. There seems to be no way to accu ratel y predic t next year 's turnover rate, but more than 50 %
Cl1uld have a devastating eHect on the school.
1'- 10re traditional colleges could probably absorb a turnover
grea ter than half. But at Evergreen , where the curriculum differs
I r,1m year to year and fac ulty groupings change almost annually,
a student body of which half is new and bewildered only reverses
Ihe posi ti ve effects of Evergreen's flexible structure.
In esse nce there are two sides to tackling the problem. One is to
iinp rove Evergreen. The COG 1II DTF, Long-range Curriculum
DTF and Student Representative Group are working on aspects of
that process right now . Improving the quali ty of the coord inated
st udies, pl a nning curriculum a few yea rs ahead and making th e
G('\'erna nce s ystem more respo nsive to student needs are some of
th e problems being worked on.
Gut there is another side to so lving our turnover problem that is
\'irtua ll y ignored. Evergreen needs to be much more selective
,lDl1 ul wha t type of student they try to attract here. They must
Sl'mehClVV identi fy w hat type of student is likely to benefit from
and st ick wi th Eve rgreen. T he few students who come to Evergre en th e ir first year and spend four years here are part of the
very important glue that holds this college together.
Th e Regi strar's office is beginning to compile facts on what type
01 ,t ud ent s stay here. Students who have been graduated from
hi~h school more than a year with no additional schooling and
transter student s are most likely to stay .
O ur problem is attracting high school grad uates and keeping
them here once we've got them . Some Evergreen officials suggest
that we change our confusing jargon to appeal to the more traditil1na lly - minded high school graduate of the mid-seventies . A
rrogram " would become a "co urse," etc.
The danger we see is th at in changing to traditional vocabulary
the co ll ege may move toward traditional functions and goals.
Finally , the most obvious possib il ity is the use of the Evergreen
appl icat ion forms a ll potential Evergreeners have to fill out. It is
possible that the type of "student most likely to benefit from and
stick with Evergreen" could be identified through a more efficient
analysis of the answers on those forms .

Again fo lks , a reminder to
watch out for your property .
Theft s of purses, calcu lators ,
cameras, typewriters, and genera ll y any thing that doesn't require
a forklift to move , is really on
the increase, So far this week
we've had the theft of three
purse s, one packsack , and a
clock radio reported to Security.
As these items tend to not surface again recovery is very difficult. I would highly reco mmend
that all of us make a rea l effort
toward theft prevention by lock ing our doors and not leaving
things lying about that we don't
want to get taken.

Why such a high degree of community
apathy concerning Evergreen? "I think the
people around here probably w ish that
the school was more like the U (University of Wn.) ... It's a different school.
It's not part of their lives."
Ron thinks there's more to it than that
though. "Olympia is a very small town white, clique-ish ... They're (the townspeople) used to their own ways. A lot of
people didn't like a different kind of
school. It's not what they were used to
seeing."

among townspeople bu t Ron was fairly
hardened to it. "Through the years I
forget." But he did feel that there was a
certain mystique surrounding and obscuring the college for many people, "Where
they put it out in the woods .. . Nobody
can see it. A lot people can't find it!"
He only remembers a few of the stories
he's heard. ''I've heard a lot of people say
it's just a bunch of hippies out in the
.woods. I would imagine that they've
never been out there . It's well hidden . I've
heard about witchcraft (going on out
here) but not in detail."

conversation at this point to shout a
warning to the driver of a bus going the
opposite direction _ " Put your hat back
on!")
He offered a unique perspective on the
conflicting roles of Evergreen and O VTl
within the larger context of the community of Olympia. He felt there was a def inite difference of purpose, availbility and
opportunity for use exemplified by the
two schools. "A lot of people that live in
the area go to OVTI. They have a night
school. A lot of p,e ople work in town and
go to school out there. Through OVTI
people get jobs, work. It offers more for
the 'average' person in the community .
It's more of a working man's school."
So what's so different about Evergreen 7
"Probably time, money, a difference in
philosophy . . . You're getting into maybe
you don' t want to spend four years in
school. It cou ld be a lack of understanding about what the school is. " (Coincidentally , the bus became virtually empty
after pulling away from the OVTI transit
stop .)
In light of the above then , one final
quest ion needs to be asked. If so little is
known about this school in general, why
does public reaction to it seem so overwhelmingly negative? Why couldn' t it just
as easily be positive? Ron could only offer
the following explanation: ' 'I'm sure
there's a lot of good things I don' t hear .
You know, you always hear the worst.
People had a negative reaction to Evergreen. It wasn't what they were used to .
That's an attitude that was here when it
started and it's still here."
But he went on to say, in typical fashion ... "I do think there's more of an acceptance of it (Evergreen) now , If you see
enough of something, you'll get used
to ill"

looked like a product of the potato factory he worked in.
We bounced along for 20-odd miles trying to tune into an old Grand Funk tape
over his bad transmission . Strangely
enough, after working so long on a con veyor belt filled with flying potatoes, he
couldn 't stand the sight of one.

stood on the road li stening for cars and
looking around, It 's legal to walk, run, or

them all.

W ith the newly created position of Dean of Enrollment Services
now till ed by Larry Stenberg a nd the new Access Center planned
lor tlpe rat ion nex t fall, somebody is finally directly responsible for
the enro llment and turn over problem at Evergreen.
The 50°" turnover tha t nea rly cripped so me programs this year
lorced Evergree n into directing much of its academic energy to ac clim ating contused new st ud ents. There seems to be no way to accu ratel y predic t next year 's turnover rate, but more than 50 %
Cl1uld have a devastating eHect on the school.
1'- 10re traditional colleges could probably absorb a turnover
grea ter than half. But at Evergreen , where the curriculum differs
I r,1m year to year and fac ulty groupings change almost annually,
a student body of which half is new and bewildered only reverses
Ihe posi ti ve effects of Evergreen's flexible structure.
In esse nce there are two sides to tackling the problem. One is to
iinp rove Evergreen. The COG 1II DTF, Long-range Curriculum
DTF and Student Representative Group are working on aspects of
that process right now . Improving the quali ty of the coord inated
st udies, pl a nning curriculum a few yea rs ahead and making th e
G('\'erna nce s ystem more respo nsive to student needs are some of
th e problems being worked on.
Gut there is another side to so lving our turnover problem that is
\'irtua ll y ignored. Evergreen needs to be much more selective
,lDl1 ul wha t type of student they try to attract here. They must
Sl'mehClVV identi fy w hat type of student is likely to benefit from
and st ick wi th Eve rgreen. T he few students who come to Evergre en th e ir first year and spend four years here are part of the
very important glue that holds this college together.
Th e Regi strar's office is beginning to compile facts on what type
01 ,t ud ent s stay here. Students who have been graduated from
hi~h school more than a year with no additional schooling and
transter student s are most likely to stay .
O ur problem is attracting high school grad uates and keeping
them here once we've got them . Some Evergreen officials suggest
that we change our confusing jargon to appeal to the more traditil1na lly - minded high school graduate of the mid-seventies . A
rrogram " would become a "co urse," etc.
The danger we see is th at in changing to traditional vocabulary
the co ll ege may move toward traditional functions and goals.
Finally , the most obvious possib il ity is the use of the Evergreen
appl icat ion forms a ll potential Evergreeners have to fill out. It is
possible that the type of "student most likely to benefit from and
stick with Evergreen" could be identified through a more efficient
analysis of the answers on those forms .

Again fo lks , a reminder to
watch out for your property .
Theft s of purses, calcu lators ,
cameras, typewriters, and genera ll y any thing that doesn't require
a forklift to move , is really on
the increase, So far this week
we've had the theft of three
purse s, one packsack , and a
clock radio reported to Security.
As these items tend to not surface again recovery is very difficult. I would highly reco mmend
that all of us make a rea l effort
toward theft prevention by lock ing our doors and not leaving
things lying about that we don't
want to get taken.

Why such a high degree of community
apathy concerning Evergreen? "I think the
people around here probably w ish that
the school was more like the U (University of Wn.) ... It's a different school.
It's not part of their lives."
Ron thinks there's more to it than that
though. "Olympia is a very small town white, clique-ish ... They're (the townspeople) used to their own ways. A lot of
people didn't like a different kind of
school. It's not what they were used to
seeing."

among townspeople bu t Ron was fairly
hardened to it. "Through the years I
forget." But he did feel that there was a
certain mystique surrounding and obscuring the college for many people, "Where
they put it out in the woods .. . Nobody
can see it. A lot people can't find it!"
He only remembers a few of the stories
he's heard. ''I've heard a lot of people say
it's just a bunch of hippies out in the
.woods. I would imagine that they've
never been out there . It's well hidden . I've
heard about witchcraft (going on out
here) but not in detail."

conversation at this point to shout a
warning to the driver of a bus going the
opposite direction _ " Put your hat back
on!")
He offered a unique perspective on the
conflicting roles of Evergreen and O VTl
within the larger context of the community of Olympia. He felt there was a def inite difference of purpose, availbility and
opportunity for use exemplified by the
two schools. "A lot of people that live in
the area go to OVTI. They have a night
school. A lot of p,e ople work in town and
go to school out there. Through OVTI
people get jobs, work. It offers more for
the 'average' person in the community .
It's more of a working man's school."
So what's so different about Evergreen 7
"Probably time, money, a difference in
philosophy . . . You're getting into maybe
you don' t want to spend four years in
school. It cou ld be a lack of understanding about what the school is. " (Coincidentally , the bus became virtually empty
after pulling away from the OVTI transit
stop .)
In light of the above then , one final
quest ion needs to be asked. If so little is
known about this school in general, why
does public reaction to it seem so overwhelmingly negative? Why couldn' t it just
as easily be positive? Ron could only offer
the following explanation: ' 'I'm sure
there's a lot of good things I don' t hear .
You know, you always hear the worst.
People had a negative reaction to Evergreen. It wasn't what they were used to .
That's an attitude that was here when it
started and it's still here."
But he went on to say, in typical fashion ... "I do think there's more of an acceptance of it (Evergreen) now , If you see
enough of something, you'll get used
to ill"

IN BRIEF
BOARD TO RETURN
'ADVANCE DEPOSIT'
Evergreeners will save $50 on
their fall quarter tuition due to a
motion passed at the April 6
meeting of the Board of Trustees.
The motion will allow each
s tudent's $50 advance deposit
(w hich they paid on entering Evergreen) to be cred ited to ~heir
fall quarter tuition. New stu dents' deposits will be credited to
their first quarter's tuition at Ever~ree n .

The Board hopes this $130,000
rebate will make an Evergreen
eJucation more economically attractive to potential st udents .

ASH OFFERS
EMPLOYMENT
SERVICE
Suffering from low summer
occupancy, Adult Student Housing (A.5.H.) also known as the
Ash Tree has started an employment service. Phil Lewis formerly
with Key Employment Service in
Olympia has been hired for four
months to work on special
projects, mainly employment of
ASH student residents.
To use the employment service
residents must sign a rent
contract through the . summer.
Lewis says, ''I'm finding student's
main reason for not living here
during the summer is not having
a job and they might as well stay
here as go home and not have a
job ."
Lewis has a folder of jobs (a
small folder) and there are
announcements on a bulletin

jobs such as Iifeguarding, win-

15 students have filled out

needs to be done is "make the
right connections."
Occupancy last summer was
30%, and is curre ntly 90% .
They hope for an occupancy of
95 % this summer in the 170 unit
complex. The main problem
seems to be transportation. "If
students are remaining in Olympia and not at school, they
might as well live in townparticularly in summer when
hou sing is so easy to find," says
one ASH resident.

VENDING
MACHINES ARE
YOUR FRIENDS
Vending machines are your
friends. Even though they sometimes refuse to deliver a product,
occasionally don't make change
a nd are often broke, stuck or
jammed, Jim Worth of Canteen
Food and Vending Co. insists
that vending machines are your
friends .
As such, Wirth wishes that
you'd quit picking on your
friends so much. Wirth reports
that lately you've been kicking,
poking and damaging the machines in a rather un - nice way .
Not o nly is he tired of fixing
them up again , it's costing you
money.
Although he doesn't know the
total amount, Wirth says the
a nnual vandalism repair bill
amounts to a three -digit figure.
A single case of vandalism may
cost upwards of $60 to repair, as
it did in the recent case of the
"AU Dorm cigarette machine.
"A nyone who's ever taken a
business course realizes that we
operate on a very small profit
margin," says Wirth, So small,
in fact, that it literally takes
thousands of sales to pay for a
single repair bill.
If the machine does break you
can get your money returned at
SAGA. Beating on the machine
or kicking it won't get the
money returned and will only
make damages worse. Wirth
would appreciate it if, instead of
kicking, you'd put a sign on the
machine indicating that it's
broken and report the damage.
The number to call in case one
breaks down is 357-9811.
Those in the vending business
have a general rule of thumb
which says that foundrymen and
common laborers are the hardest
customers on a machine, causing
the most damage. Taking second
place honors are GIs, followed
by college students and, last,
high school students. There are
exceptions, Wirth says.
For the most part, people at
Evergreen treat the machines
with respect. "The analogy I
use," says Wirth, "is if I had a
1976 Eldorado, I wouldn't beat it
with a sledge hammer when
somethi n g went wrong . That
would just be covering up the
original damage with more
damage ."

Grouping these offices together will also
help to increase the efficiency of their operations . Present plans call for cross-training staff members of Center so that they
could work in each department. Personnel
from Admissions could do the various
jobs in the Reg istrar's Office if called
upon , etc. Some people have expressed a
very real concern that thi s cou ld result in
employees doing jobs for whith they have
inadequate training. That could become a
major problem if not wa tched very, very
carefu ll y. Cross-tra ining, although a good

Perhaps the biggest word being used
co ncerning the Access Center is "accountability." The Legislature in particu lar h as
been demanding more and better accountability from the educational institutions it
spends the taxpayer's money on. Most
specifically, they want to know what
they're getting for all those millions of education dollars.
Evergreen administrators, ever sensitive
to pressure from "the Hill," see the Access
Center as one means of providing that accountability, keeping the legislators happy
and the bucks flowing. It is hoped that
the Center will provide for better correlation of data between offices to give a
more accurate picture of where the money
goes and what we get back as a result of
having spen t it.

It remains to be seen if the Access Center will do all that it is supposed to do.
There are many problems to be overcome
in the' months ahead such as budgets, logistics and the entrenched skepticism of
many faculty, staff and students that any
plan will be a solution to the paper
jungle which now abounds at Evergreen.

The Access Center would seem to stand
a better than average chance of surviving as a viable organizational unit due to
the great amoun t of interest shown in it

by President McCann and other high level
administrators. like anything at Everg reen, it will survive only if students,
s taff and faculty show continued interest
in it and help make it work.
As a solution to the bureaucratic mess
that has arisen a t Evergree n , it a ppears to
be a step in the right direction.

Portrait oj

the Mutants

as Young Artists
by Matthew Groening

. The exhibition of over 70
paintings and drawings by Don
Van Vliet and Cal Schenkel now
on display in the library Art
Gallery is simply astounding.
Van Vliet's playful, free-form
images and Schenkel's carefully
controlled and developed works
are distinctive examples of intuitive art and graphic design.
Don Van Vliet is better known
as Captain Beefheart, composer,
poet, singer, and musician on
such unique albums as Trout
Mask Replica a nd Lick My
Decals Off, Baby. His art,
language , and music are all
freely intuitive, full of visual
and verbal double entendres
which cannot be really appreciated without study ing all of Van
Vliet's output.
Van Vliet was recognized as
an artist even as a child. He was
discovered by famous Portugese
sculptor Augustonio Rodriquez
on a trip to the zoo, and was
given hi s own week ly television
show to demonstrate hi s art
before he was a teenager. At
Ihirteen Van Vliel received a
s c holarship t o s tudy art in
Europe, but his p a ren ts did not
allow him to g o . Some of Van
Vl ie t's art is schedu led to be
printed in an upcoming issue of
Esquire, and hi s drawing o n the
ex hib itions poster will appear on
the cove r o f the ne xl Captain
Beefheart album, Bat C hain
Puller, soon to be released.
The six paint ings by Don Van
Vli e t o n display are covered with
dark spattered slashes of acry li c
co lor. Three o f the paintings
were crea ted in 1970 in a threeday, n on-stop painting session ,
and a ll have the look of fast and
furious "acti o n" paintings.
The 22 co lor pen drawings
were selected from dozens of
Van V li e t 's ske t c hb ooks . T h e
colorC ul sub jects include bizarre
bug - lik e creatures, creepy-crawly
ea rth babies, a nd a sneaky devil

ink /acry lic painting for the cover
of The Grand Wazo o , which
depicts an epic battle between
two armies, one armed with
horns and the other wilh violins
shows the process by which
Schenkel carefully develops hi s
ideas. It is especially interesting
to compare the discarded plans
with the actual finished work.
The same is true for eight
preparatory ,pieces of art for the
recent One Size Fits All cove r.

peeking o ut from behind a red
pyramid. They show the same
outrageousness as many of his
more famous musical compositions, and share many of the
same themes, especially his
concern for the preservation of
animals. Unfortunately nothing
has been titled, and given Van
Vliet's excellent lyrics and poetry,
this is a real disapPOintment.
Cal Schenkel is a graphic artist
and animator whose work has
been ch iefly associated with
Frank Zappa. Schenkel has
worked closely with Zappa since
1967 designing album covers ,
promotional materials, and animated films. His visual ideas
seem unlimited , and their style
and humor are a perfect complement to Zappa's music.
Most of Schenke l's works are
directly related to his colla boration with Zappa. The original
collage for the a lbum W e' re
Only In It For the Monpy , a
bril lianl visual parody of the
Beatie's Sgt. Pepper's cover, is
one of the many p ieces being
displayed publicly for the first
t ime. The original a rt for the
front a nd back covers of Uncle
Meat stand out in mali g nan ~
g lor y, full of d e nti sts' teeth
x- rays, m o ldy co tton, stri ngs o f
gl u e, and an image of a sk ull
with "1348" s tenciled across the
cran ium.
Rough layou t s, character
sketches, and the final o rig inal

looks authentic at first , g lance . It
is a distorted rep lica of a longlos t treasure map on o ld brown
paper w i th ripped edges and
b lood stains. A close reading
revea ls countless pun s and in jokes about Schenkel's world. A
simpler piece is Duck Masters.
similar in ou tlin e to the D utch
Mas l ers ciga r b ox paint i ng.
except th at Schenkel's Masters all
have duck beaks.
Beca use of the close working
re lationship Cal Schenkel has
with Frank Zappa, the exce ll ence
of his own a r t has rarely been
acknowledged. Zappa's public
image overshadows their co ll aboration. But the few ske tches on
di sp lay for anima led movi es
insure that this collaboration will
be more balanced in the futur e.
Further evidence is the "Dental
Hygene Dilemma " carteon sequence in Zappa's 1971 fi lm 200
Motels. The fusion of completely
controlled image with synchronized sound has limit less potential ,
a nd given Schenkel's versatile art
talents and Zappa's mastery of
comp licated music, they s hould
together create film / music masterpieces.
.
200 Motels and selected ani-

mation by Cal Sch enke l are
scheduled to be shown at
Evergreen April 30 . The Van
Vliet /Sc henkel Exhibition wi ll
continue through April 16 .
Exhibits Coordinator Lynda
Weinman, who spent montlls
organizing the show . is now
making plans to put the eX}lIbition 011 tour. Posters for th e
exhibit , designed by Cal Schell '
k el, are available at th e bookstore or through Lynda W ei,l man. who can be reached at

specifically, they want to know what
they're getting for all those millions of education dollars.
Evergreen administrators, ever sensitive
to pressure from "the Hill," see the Access
Center as one means of providing that accountability, keeping the legislators happy
and the bucks flowing. It is hoped that
the Center will provide for better correlation of data between offices to give a
more accurate picture of where the money
goes and what we get back as a result of
having spen t it.

It remains to be seen if the Access Center will do all that it is supposed to do.
There are many problems to be overcome
in the' months ahead such as budgets, logistics and the entrenched skepticism of
many faculty, staff and students that any
plan will be a solution to the paper
jungle which now abounds at Evergreen.

The Access Center would seem to stand
a better than average chance of surviving as a viable organizational unit due to
the great amoun t of interest shown in it

by President McCann and other high level
administrators. like anything at Everg reen, it will survive only if students,
s taff and faculty show continued interest
in it and help make it work.
As a solution to the bureaucratic mess
that has arisen a t Evergree n , it a ppears to
be a step in the right direction.

Portrait oj

the Mutants

as Young Artists
by Matthew Groening

. The exhibition of over 70
paintings and drawings by Don
Van Vliet and Cal Schenkel now
on display in the library Art
Gallery is simply astounding.
Van Vliet's playful, free-form
images and Schenkel's carefully
controlled and developed works
are distinctive examples of intuitive art and graphic design.
Don Van Vliet is better known
as Captain Beefheart, composer,
poet, singer, and musician on
such unique albums as Trout
Mask Replica a nd Lick My
Decals Off, Baby. His art,
language , and music are all
freely intuitive, full of visual
and verbal double entendres
which cannot be really appreciated without study ing all of Van
Vliet's output.
Van Vliet was recognized as
an artist even as a child. He was
discovered by famous Portugese
sculptor Augustonio Rodriquez
on a trip to the zoo, and was
given hi s own week ly television
show to demonstrate hi s art
before he was a teenager. At
Ihirteen Van Vliel received a
s c holarship t o s tudy art in
Europe, but his p a ren ts did not
allow him to g o . Some of Van
Vl ie t's art is schedu led to be
printed in an upcoming issue of
Esquire, and hi s drawing o n the
ex hib itions poster will appear on
the cove r o f the ne xl Captain
Beefheart album, Bat C hain
Puller, soon to be released.
The six paint ings by Don Van
Vli e t o n display are covered with
dark spattered slashes of acry li c
co lor. Three o f the paintings
were crea ted in 1970 in a threeday, n on-stop painting session ,
and a ll have the look of fast and
furious "acti o n" paintings.
The 22 co lor pen drawings
were selected from dozens of
Van V li e t 's ske t c hb ooks . T h e
colorC ul sub jects include bizarre
bug - lik e creatures, creepy-crawly
ea rth babies, a nd a sneaky devil

ink /acry lic painting for the cover
of The Grand Wazo o , which
depicts an epic battle between
two armies, one armed with
horns and the other wilh violins
shows the process by which
Schenkel carefully develops hi s
ideas. It is especially interesting
to compare the discarded plans
with the actual finished work.
The same is true for eight
preparatory ,pieces of art for the
recent One Size Fits All cove r.

peeking o ut from behind a red
pyramid. They show the same
outrageousness as many of his
more famous musical compositions, and share many of the
same themes, especially his
concern for the preservation of
animals. Unfortunately nothing
has been titled, and given Van
Vliet's excellent lyrics and poetry,
this is a real disapPOintment.
Cal Schenkel is a graphic artist
and animator whose work has
been ch iefly associated with
Frank Zappa. Schenkel has
worked closely with Zappa since
1967 designing album covers ,
promotional materials, and animated films. His visual ideas
seem unlimited , and their style
and humor are a perfect complement to Zappa's music.
Most of Schenke l's works are
directly related to his colla boration with Zappa. The original
collage for the a lbum W e' re
Only In It For the Monpy , a
bril lianl visual parody of the
Beatie's Sgt. Pepper's cover, is
one of the many p ieces being
displayed publicly for the first
t ime. The original a rt for the
front a nd back covers of Uncle
Meat stand out in mali g nan ~
g lor y, full of d e nti sts' teeth
x- rays, m o ldy co tton, stri ngs o f
gl u e, and an image of a sk ull
with "1348" s tenciled across the
cran ium.
Rough layou t s, character
sketches, and the final o rig inal

looks authentic at first , g lance . It
is a distorted rep lica of a longlos t treasure map on o ld brown
paper w i th ripped edges and
b lood stains. A close reading
revea ls countless pun s and in jokes about Schenkel's world. A
simpler piece is Duck Masters.
similar in ou tlin e to the D utch
Mas l ers ciga r b ox paint i ng.
except th at Schenkel's Masters all
have duck beaks.
Beca use of the close working
re lationship Cal Schenkel has
with Frank Zappa, the exce ll ence
of his own a r t has rarely been
acknowledged. Zappa's public
image overshadows their co ll aboration. But the few ske tches on
di sp lay for anima led movi es
insure that this collaboration will
be more balanced in the futur e.
Further evidence is the "Dental
Hygene Dilemma " carteon sequence in Zappa's 1971 fi lm 200
Motels. The fusion of completely
controlled image with synchronized sound has limit less potential ,
a nd given Schenkel's versatile art
talents and Zappa's mastery of
comp licated music, they s hould
together create film / music masterpieces.
.
200 Motels and selected ani-

mation by Cal Sch enke l are
scheduled to be shown at
Evergreen April 30 . The Van
Vliet /Sc henkel Exhibition wi ll
continue through April 16 .
Exhibits Coordinator Lynda
Weinman, who spent montlls
organizing the show . is now
making plans to put the eX}lIbition 011 tour. Posters for th e
exhibit , designed by Cal Schell '

THE BIGGEST GAME IN TOWN

A mid-February visit to "the biggest game in town " tile Ludlow Foundation Bingo quarters in .lacey VilLa
by Craig Sweet
rlw ;,hotog raph er and I enter the build"'': " h"e rvin g the people. It is a strange
ll1" lu rc nf voung and old , male and fer11<ll ,'. A re w heads turn towards us as we

l'm r l \· .
I ex pec led mo re elderly pe o ple. It is surr-r" lIi~ t" see the young, mod coup le with
Ih (>11 canh spread before them. There are
:nll r ~ men tha n ex pected a s well. but they
Me iii the minorit y .
Th (' peop le sit ~ t long ta bles, their ca rd s
!'l'i ,' rl Ihem like place mat s . M oney is
I' til'ci bes ide some of the ca rds. within
_I '"l k. Il'd ch. II is Thmsday aft ernoo n ;

four cards cost one dime.
The numbers are ca lled off from balls
which blow around in something that
looks like a cafeteria grape drink machine.
One at a time the balls blow up into the
tube , stopping miraculously at the top of
the tube. The call'e r readIes for and grabs
the ball , read ing out the number, B - 59.
She t hen displays the nUll}ber to the play ers with a semicircular movement of her
a rm , repeating the number ou t loud into a
microphone. No one on the floor seems to
care. n(' o ne look s up to see if it really is
B - 50 .
T he ba ll is pl aced d o wn on a racK until
th e next ga me, a nd the ca ller's fingers

quickly pick up the next ball waiting in
the tube. Her amplified voice seems resonant , deeper than when she talks in conversation . She is a pro at running the
game. She is young, under 25 years of
age.
The fat woman eats a sandwich which
is sa ndwiched in between her cards. Free
food cannot be served in bingo parlors, so
she sack- lunched it today in the city of
Lacey . The game is being held in an old
drugstore in a small shopping plaza. Right
next door is the Goodwill store.
.
But in the Parlor cigarette smoke
streaks the ceiling, like spun glass on blue
C hristmas tree lights. The woman eats
w ith one hand, her left hand, keeping her
score with her right hand, waiting for a
Bi ngo.
)
"You ought to tr::i playing it," the floor
girl tells me. "Foir cards for a dime,
though it really is more interesting with
eigh t. "
I smile. Do you play Bingo?
"No. but the people who do seem to
enjoy it. " She points at a slender, middleaged woman playing eight cards. "She
comes in every Thursday and plays all
day. You don't see her at any of the other
games.
I smile . Are most of the p layers regulars ?
"Some," she tells me. "It is pretty addicting. "
We smile. I choose not to try my luck.
The people, the players, a ll look bored!
This is what I cannot comprehend. Bored '
Vacan t faces, blank eyes. Even the winners look dead or dying, blank, saying,
"Bingo" in flat voices, holding up the
w inning card. The floor girl is by the winner's side, calling o ut the numbers for
confirmation from the caller. Confirmed,
she ha nds the winner a ten dollar bill, and
a new game begins.
The pace seems absurdly slow. I don't
understand it. Each game takes just three
minutes to play, on the average . Each
round of a championship fight lasts only
three minutes, and time just flies! Even
commercia ls on the tube go by faster than
a bingo game .
And it isn' t suspense . There is no suspense on the filcPS of the players.

It is like a slow void. It is like a church
choir halfway through the minister's sermon.
This is the Ludlow Foundation; The Big
One: A. Ludlow Kramer, former Secre. tary of State of Washington, the head of
the Hearst 1100d Give-away, and now the
owner of his private Foundation.
The Foundation receives only what
money is left over after expenses, and expenses total 92 % of the money taken in.
Seventy-seven percent goes back to the
players; 15 % 'is paid to the employees
and other overhead expenditures. The
Foundation the,n distributes the remaining
8 % to chosen charities, everything from
earthquake relief to school district relief
when levies fail.
Chance and charity.
Chance: A Ludlow Kramer himself enters unexpectedly.
We begin to talk.
Have you ever played Bingo?
"No. I try and make it a point never to
participate in the things that I do. You
run the risk of becoming emotional if you
do."
[s it working 7
Kramer looks at me. "I don't know. It's
working as far as the fact that we're playing Bingo and giving the money to charities. It's a new concept. I enjoy experimenting with new concepts."
He smiles and lights another cigarette .
Lud Kramer comes across as feisty and
enthusiastic, and his enthusiasm is contagious.
Is the game growing?
Kramer smiles. " Every day ."
Bingo games grow in two ways; more
players playing more cards. Pros can han··
dIe 16 cards a sho t, amateurs four to
eight. O lympia, I am assured, is a city of
ama teurs.
The photographer and I leave the parlor. The players won't leave until the last
game is won .
Outside the building two kids on tiptoes try to see the act ion over the brown
butcher paper with the letters BINGO !
THE BIG ONE! painted on . I am tempted
to join them , but the photographer is
headed towards the Goodwill store . I fo llow her.

The next chapter of the long march
takes you to the Registrar where you pick
up a transfer card and return to g et tile
signature of your new faculty. That com pleted, you must now track down your
old faculty coordinator (if he / she can be
found at aI/) , get his / her signature and return to th e Registrar with the transfer
card grasped tightly in yo'ur sweating
hand.
The Registrar approves the who le mess
and gives you a slip of paper acknowledg ing the transfer which yOI~ take to the
Cashier. At the Cashier's office you pay
the bill for the next quarter, and receive a
receipt.
It 's back to th e Registrar once again
with the little rt!ceipt trailing not far behind. Flashing the receipt, you pull out
your 1. D . card which is dutifully validated, thus ending another segment in the
great "registration game. "
Evergreen administrators are gambling
that the new Student Access Center just
may he the solution to this entire mess.
Larry Stenberg has been named dean of
the access group and plans are rolling
ahead in the hopes of having the center
functionin g by next fall.

college. Instead of being the long, drawn-

o ut and tiring affairs they now are , a rra ng ing financial aid , re gi stering and
a hos t of other similar tran sactions will be

A
big
reas o n
behind
th e
Access Center is to eliminate the grea t
physical distance s between the offic es
which now exist. Re)l;istrar Walker Allen
speaks of the "seven long distance trips
on campus" a student must make to reg ister. All those trips not only take extra.
unnecessary time but tend to confuse no t
only new students, unfamiliar wit h Ev ergreen, but eve n students, faculty and staff
who have been aro und for a while.
Three remodeling plans proposed by
Dean Clabaugh in February were the ta rget of much critic ism by potential Access
Cen ter staff members. The plans called
for remodeling a porti on of the Library 's
first floor into a large bullpen type of fice to hold the Center. Crit ics charged
that the plans were too costly (estimat ed
at $50,000) and the design (one large,
open room filled wit h 34 desks) wouldn' t
give them the privacy they needed to op erate properly . The plans were withdrawn

Pianist Michael Micheletti tonight presents a so lo concert for p iano , mandolin

th e door. Th e foliowing preview was written by Gary Kaufman , ciose friend Q/1d
fan of Mich elett i.
by G. H. Kaufman
T a ke 88 key s, alternately black a nd
white, and ten long, nimble fingers belon ging to one particularly unique human
and you have the myst ifying magic of the
spheres - locked within the geni us of
Mi chael Mi chel e tti and a Steinway grand
pia no.
When I first came to Evergreen slightly
less than a yea r ago, my fr iends were
three artists and a dog a nd I felt alone in
a wor ld of vege ta rians and potlucks . Then
o ne night I went to a room with a piano
a nd a lanky stranger. He introduced him self to some 40 people. The lights went
down and all I saw were ten fin gers and a
set of keys.
He played not only 'upon the blacks
and ivories, but upon us, the audience . It
was we who merged slowly into Music.
The keys cried a funeral dirge for a ship
whose rising mainsail pointed towards the
trail left by a morning star. And we cried.
The keys were made to laugh a tale of
dragons and knights playing with buttoned swords and paper flames and danc ing to the rainbow's shadow. Then it was
over.
To Michael music is as imperative as
food or sleep is to any of the rest of us.
There is Jazz and Blues and Rock and
Classical Music. And then there is Michael. A bar or two of Bach, a snatch of the
Grateful Dead, a bit of New Orleans at
Mardi Gras, can all be found wafting
across the keys at his touch .
Those of you who saw Holly Near or
have heard people talk about her concert,
used or heard words like "magic" and
"high." Those of you who miss the performance tonight at 8 p.m. in the Library
Lobby will have saved enough money to
buy two avacados but will have missed
what I promise to be the most heartwarming event to happen to Evergreen since
Geoduck slid its way across our brick
walkways. It will be more than just
\i!.nother concert.
