If you are one of our regular readers and critics,
you probably noticed the changes we made in
the newspaper this week. It looks completely
different, it's smaller in shape but larger in content,
and it has a new name to top it off .
The name we changed because we felt it didn't say
enough. 'The Paper' does nothing more than identify
it as a newspaper, and it doesn't say even say who
produces it or where it comes from. COOPER POINT
JOURNAL gives it some character.
We felt it is important that it be Cooper point, rather
than Evergreen or Geoduck, becaude we are publishing
for the community as well ad the school. The word
Journal is important to the name too, as we feel it
implies more than just news.
We intend to live up to our new name. We plan to have
more high quality features, opinions and services
offered in the JOURNAL •
We also hope that the new format will be pleasing to the
eye, and lend it a uniqueness it didn't have before.

LETTERS
To the Editor:
I am one of those students
who spend a few minutes each
week berating and belittling
the newspaper and dutifully
picks it up each Thursday or
Friday. I don't generally read
it from cover to cover,without
skipping a word but I do read
a good portion of it. ·
One section I read each
week is the letters to the
editor segment. Probably because they're the one part
least burdened with journalistic limitations and journalistic egos and I like to hear
from other students now and
then. But even they have begun to bother me.
Without singling out a specific name or letter, I'm
getting really tired of people
who are constant critics.
~ure, criticism when it is constructive is worthwhile. What
bothers me is the continual
negativism and chronic sideline quarterback syndrome.
Anyone who has been at
TESC for any length of time
should have learned that positive reinforcement is a boon to

helping someone along, yet all
I hear is petty complaining
and not a solitary word of encouragement. Don't we owe
other students the same treatment that we expect? And if
anyone tries to say that the
paper has done nothing at all
that would deserve praise,
then they're too closedminded to be capable of constructive criticism.
I can't say that I'm fully satisfied with the paper but I can
say that there have been some
good stories and services
offered and I just hope that
the paper may continue to improve.
As for those who have said
the school is full of reactionaries and that the paper is the
most fascist in the country,
that's the biggest pile of shit
that I've heard ....
Kevin Colstad

Dear Editor,
This is in support of Brand
X (the product with active
imagination); Hey Brian: So
you resigned, gave up the

ghost. OK, but I have to say
I'm sorry about it, (no matter
what kind of a spook you are,
or how badly you and your
readers suffer from the burn
of being - which is the burn
of being just amateur.). It's
kinda like you had to admit
you're natural home -grown
wild rice - unpackaged and
not for sale - and not an
overpriced box of Uncle Ben's
converted, instant, polished,
white rice (ready-to -serveinstantly so's to impress
company with how great you
and the cook look). Ha, guess
we've been Random Sampled
again!
Your writing gives me
something to think about and
struggle with. In return I'd
like to give you a "Natural
high". This is a quote from
A.N.
Whitehead,
"An
Adventure in Ideas".
"In the study of ideas, it is
necessary to remember that
insistence on hard -headed
clarity issues from sentimental feeling, as it were a
-mist, cloaking the perplexities
of fact. Insistence on clarity at
an costs is based on sheer

superstition as to the mode in
which human intelligence
functions. Our reasonings
grasp at straws for premises
and float on gossamers for
deductions."
Francie Wright

Campus
elitism
Dear People,
Yes, Elitism is alive and
well at Evergreen - but the
P.O.R.T.A.L.S. sweatshirt is
certainly not the first
symptom of that malady.
Webster tells us that
elitism is the consciousness of
being or belonging to a
socially superior group or a
powerful minority. That attitude is conveyed to the
Olympia com~unity by such
actions as requiring current
student I.D. cards to get into
the " free"
Wednesday
movies. Not only residents of
Olympia, but Evergreen
lumni and students on leaves
f absence are excluded from

such events. (If the crowds
are too massive for Lecture
Hall 1, why not schedule
another showing?)
The elitism within the
Evergreen community is evident in the Native American
Studies program. I appreciate
the efforts of NASA in
educating concerned nonIndians about Indian problems and solutions. But the
policy of excluding nonIndians from the Native
American Studies program is
certainly institutionalized elitism. I understand the need
for solidarity among Indians,
but can an elitist policy help to
eliminate social injustice and
prejudice?
The Great Wall of the
cafeteria may not be elitism,
but it sure seems like a brand
of enforced separatism that
the Evergreen community
does not need. Hasn't Saga
heard about conservation of
food and energy?
And if Evergreen is indeed
a community ("a unified body
of individuals" - Webster),
then why does a minority
impose its nasty habits on the
majority? Why do tobacco
smokers continue to pollute
the bodies of people who have
chosen not to smoke? Lecture
halls, seminar rooms, movies,
elevators, even bathrooms
are filled with the dirty smoke
of inconsiderate Evergreenera. Is an inconsiderate
smoker less guilty than an
inconsiderate industrial
polluter?
If we are going to confront
elitism at Evergreen, let's not
get too hung up on an issue
· like program sweatshirts. The
above symptoms are not the
only ones but they seem to me
to be the most blatant. But an
elitist attitude doesn't have to
be the wave of the future.
Come together, Evergreen!
Michael Hall

Savingpower
To the Editor:
While trying to do some
stargazing last Friday night it
became vividly aware to us
that there are j1..~t too many
lights on campus. Besides the

aesthetic considerations of
being able to see the heavens,
or to merely be able to experience the darkness, there are
also important considerations
of energy conservation connected with this issue. Some
may say that the lighting has
been cut down as far as
possible without endangering
safety and security but we
feel that we have a number of
suggestions that can be implemented without any danger.
First, since the parking lots
are little used at night, the
lights over all but one or two
of them could be completely
turned off and people could be
asked to park in the lit lots.
Furthermore, since the parking lots and walkways are
overlit to the extent that one
could read under all the lights,
we suggest that one-half to
three-quarters of the lights
could be turned off without
endangering anyone's safety.
We have also noted that there
are many lights on inside the
buildings, especially the CAB
and the Library, when the
doors are locked and no one is
inside. The drapes should be
drawn in unused rooms to
mmuruze heat loss through
windows. Students can also
help by using the stairs
instead of the elevator, turning off unnecessary lights and
closing their drapes.
In conclusion, it would seem
hypocritical for this institution, whose students and programs are for the most part
deeply concerned about the
conservation of our natural
resources, to ignore this
issue.

Nixon
To the community,
It has saddened me deeply,
this lack of concern towards
the man running our country,
and subsequently our lives.
Shortly after Cox's firing,
many dittoed petitions for the
President's impeachment ap-

peared around the campus,
but today they stand ignored
and abused. Also there arose
a spontaneous uproar in our
community and across the
land, and especially in the
Congress over Nixon's actions. Yet as soon as Nixon
announced surrender of the
tapes to Judge Sirica, this
outroar died, and the flame
that was sparked by the President's deeds was extinguished, and only a smoldering ember remains.
It distresses me when I see
that the general public is
uncaring, but it frightens me
when I notice this great
apathy of the students. Have
we become as silent and uncaring as the bodies that lay
fallen on the campuses of
Kent State and Jackson State
College? Hitting this point
home to me was a comment I
overheard shortly after the
announcement that the tapes
would be turned over to the
courts. A student by a petition mentioned that it wasn't
necessary to sign it anymore.
Evidently he felt that' the
move by the President
righted all his wrongs.
But this is not so. Reflect
for a moment on the President's past actions from
outrages he perpetrated on
the American public during
the war, to Watergate, to his
speeches on law and order, his
enemy lists, and on and on.
Nixon is a cunning politician,
and he has deceived · us, the
public, enough to allow him to
remain in his exalted office. I
only hope that we, the students, and the public in general, will not allow this deception to continue, and that
those who don't care and
those who didn't take the
petitions seriously will wake
up from the slumber of
apathy, and help end this
nightmare that the Administration has brought down on
us.

pos1t1on
To the Editor:
In the last edition of The
Paper (Oct. 25, 1973) a letter
was printed by a person
named Bill Freeburg, accusing the Ethnic Minority Coalition of racism in not allowing
the Gay Resource Center to
join it.
This is not and is in no way
connected with the position of
the Gay Resource Center. We
recognize the importance of
independent organizations of
the oppressed to work on
issues specific to their struggles and to build and maintain
a sense of identity in a hostile
environment.
It is our desire, and the
desire of the Minority Coalition, to be able to work together on common issues and
in that way to better understand and respect each other's
struggles. Bill Freeburg's letter, and those who share his
point of view could have
seriously jeopardized that
possibility.
Helen Gilbert

HJR 37

Special levies have long been an ugly specter looming between well-financed education and arbitrary financing. Levies have been one of the very few taxes
voters could use to protest high taxes - and all at the
cost of the student. HJR 37 would change that.
HJR 37 guarantees full financing "of a basic education program as defined by the legislature."
A state graduated income tax would be
implemented so that each individual can be taxed
according to what they've earned. Under this system,
a person earning $6-7,000 per annum might pay two
per cent of their earnings; a person earning $9-10,000
might pay four per cent and a person earning
$15-16,000 per annum might pay 6 per cent. (This is
the concept, not necessarily the exact figures.)
Also, taxes on food and drugs would be eliminated.
With skyrocketing prices the way they are, any relief
in cost is perfectly welcome. Why should we have to
pay so much tax on necessities? This, once again, has
cost the poor as much as the wealthy.
HJR 37 will not resolve all of our tax hassles, but it
will be quite an improvement over the present, unequal system: Vote YESonHJR37!

Initiative 282
Initiative 282 would limit self-granted legislative
pay raises to 5.5% per year. It is an anti-inflationary
measure that should have been taken a while ago.
While the state and federal government don't seem
to ever hesitate in the restricting of the public's wage
increases, at the same time they don't ever seem to
hesitate in voting themselves "inflationary wage increases." It's time that the legislature "put their
money where their mouth is!". Initiative number 282
would force them to do just that. Vote YES on 282!

Referendum 33
Referendum 33 asks that funds from the sale of
personalized license plates be placed in the state game
fund and be used exclusively for the preservation and
protection of non-game species, especially those which
are endangered.
The Washington State Department of Fish and
Game receives no state tax money; it maintains its fish
and game program through the sale of hunting and
fishing licenses. Its responsibilities however include
all wildlife species in the state, not just those which
are hunted. (Of the 480 species of birds and mammals
in Washington, 67 are hunted.) The non-consumptive

use of wildlife has increased to the point where it now
represents 50% of the total use.
In order for the fish and game department to carr~
out its duties and provide a total wildlife program
funding is needed. Referendum 33 would providE1
funds for such a non-game program. First priorityj
would be given to preserving endangered species sue
as the Bald Eagle, Peregrine Falcon, Osprey, and the
Sea Otter. Vote YES on Referendum 33!

Referendum 36

Drinking, and particularly its abuse, is not an
activity to be encouraged. However, alcohol-relate
problems are not the issue at stake in Referendum 36
which, passed, would lower the drinking age to 19
Presently for those over 21 years of age, a drink is
matter of personal choice. The issue involved in this
referendum is whether or not to allow a sizeablE
portion of the population this personal choice.
To prohibit drinking by 19 and 20 year olds wh
enjoy and share every other benefit and responsibility
of adulthood is an arbitrary retention of past discrim
inatory attitudes. Vote YES on Referendum 36!

Editorial policy
The editorial pages of this and most other newspapers are se
aside for the expression of opinions, hopefully relevant or
least interesting to the readers. Opinions in this newspaper w·
be presented in three or possibly four different ways.
First of all, there are the paper editorials themselves. The
are identified as editorials, either by their placement and size ·
the newspaper, or by the word "editorials" above them. Editor
ials are expressions of opinion which are always unsigne
always written by one of the staff members of the Journal,
always supported by a majority of the staff members.
Individual opinions are always clearly identified by a by-line
They express the feelings, ideas, and comments of the autho
only. With regard to space requirements, libel and sland
laws, obscenity laws, and interest to the community that th
paper serves, we will print any individual opinion which is re
sonably coherent and is submitted to the paper. In every issu
of the paper we intend to set aside space for at least on
non -staff opinion or commentary. Unless circumstance
warrant we will not, however, directly solicit such opinion
They must be signed and submitted within our stated dea
lines.
Letters to the Editor are another means of expressing opin
ions in the Journal. Letters, as everything else, must be sub
mitted within our deadlines and should attempt to be somewha
coherent. We will print any letter, within the limits of libel law
and good taste, which we receive, if we have the space for it.
determining the priority for publication of Letters to the Edito
if we have more letters than we have space for in an issue, w
will use our judgment as to which letters deal with the mon
pressing issues at hand.
In the future we hope that the Journal will provide a foru
for as wide a range of beliefs and opinions as possible. Howeve
our ability to do so rests, at least in part, on the shoulders
our readership.

Guest commentary

Alpine Lakes proposal
by Annski Williams

The Alpine Lakes area is a part of the North
Cascades about 50 miles east of Seattle, between Snoqualmie Pass and Stevens Pass. The area is currently
at the final stage of consideration for its suitability
under the Wilderness Act of 1964. Land designated as
wilderness by Congress has permanent protection
from motorized activities and man-made structures.
Following 1974 no more land in the U.S. will be given
wilderness classification.
At public hearings in Wenatchee and Seattle on Oct.
19 and 20 the Forest Service presented their proposal
for the future of this area, and two other proposals
were given major support by individuals and groups
giving testimony. The Forest Service proposal asks
for 285,193 acres of wilderness surrounded by an area
given to "total resource use", which includes road-dependent economic and recreational uses.
The Alpine Lakes Coalition, a group of timber, mining and motorized interests, supports a plan for a
much smaller wilderness area, bisected by a "multiple
use corridor", which would provide for logging of
desirable areas.
A third proposal has been put together by a
coalition of conservation groups, including the Sierra
Club, the Friends of the Earth, the Mountaineers, the
Wilderness Society and the North Cascades
Conservation Council. This Conservation Coalition
proposes a wilderness of 573,000 continuous acres,
with a National Recreation Area as a buffer zone. A
National Recreation Area provides for developed
camping and motorized use of the land. The Consei:'Vation Coalition proposes the acquisition of private lands
and the closing of certain roads which currently
interrupt the continuity of wild public land. The group
also proposes inclusion of a number of areas now
excluded from wilderness consideration because of
their desirability for timber.

Areas that are suitable for logging and mining ar~
rarely even considered for wilderness. There is n<
reason why wilderness land should be only that lan<
which has no economic value. Land has othe1
important values such as wildlife habitat, as a pre
serve of a diversified ecosystem, as a means of pro
tecting watersheds, and as an area of nonconsumptive
human use. The proposal of the Conservation Coalition
seeks to minimize the effect of people on the land by
simply providing more land and also seeks to provide
for the people who can't or don't wish to travel without
motorized vehicles. The Alpine Lakes area is very
heavily used and national recognition, albeit in the
form of wilderness protection, will bring even more
people to the area.
A bill representing each of these points of view has
been introduced to the U.S. Congress by the entire
delegation from Washington State. If you wish to
make your opinion count on this issue you should try
to influence the members of both houses of Congress
by writing directly to them, as the decision is ultimately theirs.
You should also make yourself heard in another way
if you wish to be effective. The Forest Service is making a proposal to the President on which he will base ·
his recommendation to the Congress. This is the usual
way in which areas are recommended for wilderness
classification. Letters sent to Regional Forester,
USFS, PO Box 3623, Portland, Ore. 97208, by
November 20 will be included in the record of testimony given at the hearings in Wenatchee and Seattle
and so, by law, will be included in the report sent to
the President and in the recommendation he sends on
to Congress.
Further information is on the Mountaineering Club
bulletin board in the CAB or you can talk to Karell
Oakley or Annski Williams, at 357-9078 •

The Iight that
will not fail

Knute Olsson H. G.S. Berger is a TESC student em an individual contract, who currently is traveling around the U.S. observing the social scene. Accused of being a con artist, an elaborate
pseudonym, and a dashist, Berger brings us the scoop from
Ripon, Wisccmsin.
"Ripon ... the birthplace of Free Men, of all colors and creeds
to all the world. A light that will not fail this nation f~r a~oth~r
hundred years. Ripon stands as the Freedom Cap1tal. WISconsin Republican, Vol. 3 No.2, March 1954.

Sitting comfortably among the eom fields, low hills, and
lakes of the Midwest rests Ripon, Wisconsin, home of Speed
Queen Washers, Rippin' Good Cookies, Ripon College, and
birthplace of the Republican party. Soon to celebrate its 120th
birthday, the Republican party was founded here in a small,
white, one room schoolhouse on a cold March night in 1854 by
Alvan Earle Bovay and a few disillusioned Democrats, Whigs,
and Free Soilers. In the heart of the Midwest rests Ripon, the
"Freedom Capital, beacon for a light that will not fail."
The party founded here with great hopes over a hundred
years ago, the party which has sent a Republican to the
presidency four times in the past twt!nty years, now finds itself,
despite its victories, on hard times. Their current president and
his administration have brought on crisis after crisis, scandal
after scandal, and displayed a degree of political corruption unparalleled in American history. Yet, despite the scandals, the
deceit, the firings and resignations, Ripon and its Republicans
hang on firmly, their faith in ''the light" unshaken.
Russell Manor is Ripon's newest apartment complex. It is reserved, primarily, for Ripon's senior citizens, and rooms are in
great demand. It is one of three apartment houses in Ripon, and
by any standards it is modem with facllities to please anyone
used to, or seeking quiet living. It stands on a bill at the North
end of town, near the new mortuary, and it seems out of place
in a town where the newest buildings are at least twenty years
old. Outside flies the American fiag, day and night, illuminated
by a floodlight given to the manor by the Lions Club.
In the front lounge is a large, new, color television, and on
the night of Spiro Agnew's farewell address a few residents
watch the performance silently. Most watch in the privacy of
their own rooms. In the room of Mrs. Roy Reed, when the
speech has ended, eaUs from friends and neighbors pour in, and
while bearing only one end of the conversation, the consensus is
clear: It is a shame what they've done to Agnew, but be is still a
great man. They seem to agree with Mrs. Reed's statement "I'd
still vote for him tomorrow" and there is not the slightest indication that what has happened is good or just. "It's a shame."
Homecoming at Ripon College bas ended, the reunions, the
parties, the dances, the parades are over. It is Veterans Day,
and American fiags fiy along the main street. The banks are
closed. In Washington D.C., the country, the Congress, is just
beginning to react to the firing of Archibald Cox and the resignations of Richardson and Ruekleshaus. But Ripon goes on
about its business, and the reaction from Mrs. Reed, and no
doubt her friends, is the same: It's a shame. And behind those
words lies a faith that, somehow it will all work out in the end,
everything will remain intact.
One gets the feeling from this old town that, while subject to

the styles and fashions of the outside world, by no means sheltered from ideas or events, the town hangs on, lies steadfast in
its belief that American values are as they have always been,
and that they take seriously Calvin Coolidge's statement of
American duty, "American standards must be maintained,
American institutions must be preserved." Ripon, in its way, is
the symbolic eye at the center of the storm of America's values
and priorities. Ripon is proud of its values, proud of its historic
tradition. It may be true that unless or until things change
here, no change will be substantial.

KohoutekPaying the
•
p1per
Late in December the largest and brightest comet in the
history of the Earth will pass by. Some say that Earth will pass
through its tail and be wiped out. Most everyone from layman
to astrologer, to scientist (few and far between) portend some
dire consequence of this occurrence.
In recent weeks I've heard speculation amongst Jesus Freaks
that it is none other than the Lord's own little Lambikins who is
riding herd on this most recent ''The End is Near" phenomenon.
According to certain Jesus Freaks, long about now Jesus himself is seated on top of the head of this comet shifting into overdrive for the barrel run through to the Earth. Judgment day,
according to some, is now scheduled for around January 8, 1974
at about 8:36p.m.
Astrologers have informed me that there is "that certain
something" about the stars at the moment. Incidence of murder
and mayhem are, and will continue to be, on the rise during this
period. Mars and the Moon are aligned in such a way as to
produce evil and rotten-ness throughout our solar system.
Why, even in the newspaper office here at Evergreen, we've
been having more troubles than usual.
According to my sources in the seer eireuit, you must ask
yourselves, "Have I been robbed, raped, murdered, assaulted,
yelled at, berated, fallen into more mud puddles than usual
lately, or done so much of that myself, and why?" Just the other .
morning I woke up to find the hot water off in dorm A, no ·
shower! The elevators, trusty Otis products, themselves were
broken down. Been having a lot of "one of those days" lately?
It's the comet, Kohoutekl
Some say the whole thing might be a publicity gimmick for
the Guru Maharaj Ji to promote his "coming out" party in
Houston to be held about the time that the comet is flJ'St visible
with binoculars. If that's the ease the "fat kid with a good p.r.
guy" has found himself an even better p.r. person.
There have been rumblings that it's something the Russians
have cooked up. Could be, have you heard much about their
space program as of late?
Maybe some superior civilization has finally decided to start
on its spring cleaning of the universe and sent this comet, not
unlike its nationally advertised namesake, to wipe out the inhabitants of Earth, like Josephine the plumber would wipe a
stain out of a kitchen sink.
At any rate, when Kohoutek shows up in your living room, in
the few seconds you may have left, don't be too surprised.
Maybe we're all just ~etting what's coming to us. It's time to
pay the piper!!

Education takes
to the road
by Colleen Hunt
"O.K., everybody, we're
gonna play a game now!"
"YEAAAA!" choruses a class
of third graders in unison Playing "games" is only one
method of teaching the members of the Evergreen Mobile
School Unit employ. A team
of 15 students, the Mobile
School Unit (MSU) travels to
four grade schools in the area
- Littlerock, Oakville, Rainier and Rochester.
The MSU works in the
schools for six week periods,
with two week evaluations
spaced in between, for the
entire school year.
Three of the students,
Renee Couchee, · Meg Decker
and Rod Mc):rean, travel to
each school one day a week.
They work in small groups
and with individuals in what is
termed "remediation". This
process helps students who
may be having trouble in the
classroom by giving them
more individual attention.
Others in the group work in
classroom situations in specific areas such as social studies, math, art, music, and
drama
Those early mornings
The workday for the MSU
begins before most Evergreeners are awake - the
van for Rainier was on the
road before 7:30a.m. Fortifying themselves with coffee
and cigarettes in the teachers'
room, the members of the
MSU chat with other teachers, preparing to take their
enthusiasm to the classroom.
Class in Session
One early class begins in
the third grade with Tim
Maroney, Cindy Turner,
Mark Machlis and a St. Martin's student teacher named

Today is review of
"Needs and Services." Later
in the day, a tour of Rainier's
businesses is planned.
The MSU members spend
time in observation of a class
they will be working in, then
team-teaching, and eventually taking the class themselves at times.
"Enrichment"
Small staffs at these schools
don't always allow much time
for extras such as drama, art
and music. The MSU terms
this "enrichment". This program of enrichment is being
carried on at Oakville School
with Beth Harris in drama,
Dena Reeves teaching music,
and Leslie Kennedy and Herb
Osterhaus working in art.
The variety of equipment
available at Evergreen could
also be considered enrichment, allowing these schools
access to things they might
not otherwise have.
Porta-paks (video equipment) and tape recorders
allow instant feedback, which
most students find fascinating. Besides, seeing yourself
on T.V. is exciting!
The school day is
aLOOONGday
Lunch time rolls around,
with all its noise and chaos.

Lunch also means "playground duty," the task of
mediating fights and soothing
hurt feelings and knees.
Lunch means getting the
pitch about magazine subscriptions the seventh graders have as a class project.
Afternoon brings more
classes, more planning, and
use of the video-taping equipment in the classroom. Afternoon is working with second
graders for Russ Millar, making pictures and writing stories about the pictures. Meg
and Renee blindfold two girls
and have them identify objects to improve their motor
skills.
Some History
The Mobile School Unit
began last year through the
Learning About Learning program, with Mark Machlis and
the current advisor, Maxine
Mimms. The group worked
during summer quarter for
ten intensive weeks, preparing lesson plans and special
projects.
Other members of the program are: Lori Reynolds and
Nancy Synder, who work at
Rochester School; Karen
Kruse at Littlerock, teaching
math; and Becky Yoder at
Oakville, working in reading.

Eye 5
presents.
The People Show, an experimental theater group
from England and currently
on tour of the West Coast, will
present a performance at
Evergreen, Monday, Nov. 5
at 8:30p.m. in Lecture Halll.
This event is sponsored by the
Eye-5 program.
Created in 1966, The People
Show is one of the best-known
avant-garde companies in
Europe, having performed in
Yugoslavia, France, Belgium,
Britian, and even in the staid
United States. They have
continually amazed their audiences with their innovative
and always unexpected
performances.
The members of The People
Show do not consider their
presentations plays, in the
traditional sense of the word,
as their shows never have
titles, only numbers. "People
Show 53" was recently performed in London.
There is little or no story
and never a script in The
People Show's presentations.
The members of the group,
currently numbering five,
lead their own lives outside
the stage but continually
compile ideas and material for
new shows. When they get
together, each member contributes his new ideas and
helps create an over-all structure for the play. The
performance, then, is planned
but never rehearsed, thus
allowing for improvisation
and artistic freedom by the
individual members.
The works of The People
Show are primarily visual.
For example, at the end of one
performance, the audience
was driven from the threater
by smoke created by the
players. So, whatever they do
Nov. 5, The People Show
guarantees to present something different from anything
you have seen before.

Americans in Europe:

Corea, Jarret on
by Gary Plautz

Jazz has undergone a tremendous
upswing
in
popularity the past three
years. There are numerous
reasons for this turn of
events. The relative stagnation of rock music lately, for
instance, is one of these
reasons, as many rock lovers
are forced to turn to other
musical forms to hear quality
music. Another reason is
so-called "jazz-rock" which
turns the ear of many
listeners on to what can be
called pure jazz. The easy
accessibility for rock fans to
the music of the Mahavishnu
Orchestra and Weather Report, the two most sucessful
jazz bands on the rock concert
hall circuit, is yet another
reason for the jazz upsurge.
In contrast to the dead-end
rock has seemed to stumble
into, jazz is ever-changing,
ever-growing. From the
super-mellow, laid back
sounds of the Crusaders and
Grover Washington Jr. to the
hyper-active and sometimes
frenetic music of Mahavishnu
and Weather Report; from
the old-timers like Miles
Davis and Pharoah Sanders to
the new experimenters like
Carla Bley and Chick Corea,
jazz is an expanding art form.
Astonishingly beautiful and
aesthetically intriguing music
is being created by jazz
musicians every day.
In the bad old day!l when
jazz was scorned in the
country in which it was
created, many American jazz
musicians turned to Europe
for a receptive audience. Jazz
has always been popular in
Europe and the oft-told story
of bow American tourists are

offered more money by
Russian students for a Louis
Armstrong record than for all
the Western clothes they
have is an indication of how
deep this popularity is. Now,
with new-found interest in
jazz in the States, many jazz
artists have been lured back
by lucrative recording contracts and a new concert
audience. However, many
musicians have remained in
Europe to perform and also to
record.
. There are a large number of
record companies throughout
Europe that release jazz
albums
of
American
musicians. One of the more
successful and famous of these
companies is ECM Records of
West Germany. With their ,
advanced recording techniques and the virtual free reign
they give to the artist, ECM
has released a number of fine
albums. Most of these albums
are recorded in Oslo or
Copenhagen, printed in
Germany, and then distributed from Britian. Since
they often feature Americans,
ECM can be considered a
truly international record
company.
All of the musicians recording at ECM are labelled
"avant -garde". This term
needs some clarification for,
in my mind, avant-garde
usually denotes wild, unstructured music, a dozen
trumpets each playing in
different keys and in different
time. If Chick Corea and
Keith Jarrett are avant-garde
artists, they are melodious
avant-garde artists then.
Perhaps a better term than
avant-garde is the term the
musicians themselves use in
referring to their music, "new
music."

ECM Records
One of the le'a ding exponents of the new music is
pianist Corea. He is a musical
genius and a prolific genius at
that, having released six
albums on ECM alone. Two of
these albums are solo efforts,
"Piano Improvisations, Vol. I"
and "Vol. II". The other four
albums are with his groups,
Circle, ARC, and Return to
Forever, which feature such
musicians as Gary Burton,
Stanley Clarke, Joe Farrell,
and Dave Holl~nd.
"Return to Forever" (ECM
1022) is perhaps the best
Corea album on ECM. It
· features Corea on piano,
Farrell on trumpet, saxes,
and flute, Clarke on bass, and
Flora Purim, vocalist. Side
one is astounding. "Return to
Forever" starts out the side
and it features the amazing
intricacy and quickness of
Corea.
Clarke plays a solid bass
line throughout the song and
gets a chance to demonstrate
some rapid playing of his own.
The key to the song, however,
is the vocal work of Flora
Purim (wife of Latin percussionist Airto). It is a wordless
vocal for the most part which
blends perfectly with the
mysterious almost entrancing
melody of the song. "Crystal
Silence" is next and its
construction is looser, featuring Farrell mainly.
"What Games Should We
Play Today" concludes the
side. The song has a Latin
motif and is highlighted by
Purim's beautiful vocal work.
The name of the song refers to
Corea's Taoist belief that
people should find some kind
of game they genuinely enjoy
and play that game to their
heart's content, like the child.
It is easily the most inspired,
happy song on the record.

Another of ECM's cavalcade of players is Keith
Jarrett. He is one of those
people that is held pu as a
master of all instruments, as
he plays saxes competently as
well as his main instrument,
the piano. Jarrett is not
confined to recording only
with ECM as he's done some
excellent work for Atlantic.
On ECM, he's released two
albums, "Ruta plus Daitya"
with Jack DeJ onette and
"Facing You", a solo effort.
"Facing You" (ECM 1017) is
a gem of an album. It is
Jarrett on piano by himself
for almost 50 minutes, playing
eight of his original compositions. It is hard to believe
that a solo piano album can
keep one's interest for almost
an hour but with Jarrett, it's
not easy to lose interest. He
gets such deep, resonant,
c~ar sounds out of his
instrument and writes intricate but melodious compostions. "In Front", "Lalene",
and "Semblence" from this
album are all excellent pieces
and the album as a whole is
very, very good.
There are two prohibitive
factors about ECM Records
and all other European jazz
labels. Their availability in
the Pacific Northwest is
rather limited. Discount
Records in Seattle and Puget
Sound Records in Bellingham
sell them but the stock is not
complete. It's probably best
to buy them through mail
order houses. And the cost of
the records is steep, usually
$5.50 an album. However, the
quality of the music on these
labels makes up nicely for the
extra price and the inconvenience of obtaining
them.

Where to retire on
$15,000-$25,000 down
by Debby Shawver
Old age is the least pressing
of problems to TESC students, but it might interest
them to know that when the
time comes, they can return
to the womb of Evergreen in
the form of PANORAMA
CITY - - if their portfolios
land them a money-making
job in the real world, that is.
If you have dreams of a
fuller life ... a better tomorrow; if one dream is always
present in your mind: the
carefree years when you can
set your own pace of living
and enjoy all the pleasures
you never had time for before,
the good life, then Panorama
City is the place for you.
"Towering evergreen trees,
winding private boulevards,
imaginatively designed homes
and apartments, and hundreds of happy people who
have discovered a new life of
freedom and fulfillment. This
is Panorama City. . . America's finest, most complete
adult community."
Panorama City is located in
Lacey, only minutes away
from the beautiful Olympic
National Park, an hour's drive
from the famed Mt. Rainier,
and not too far from the ever
popular The Evergreen State
College either.
Imagine yourself, carefree!
No responsibility, safe and secluded from the evils of LIFE.
NO KIDS! NO DOGS!
NO TAXES!
Instant country club atmosphere minus the blonde tennis
pro.
-For LIFE!
What do Panorama City
residents think of Evergreen?
As to the rest of the community surrounding Cooper Point,
"Some of them think you are a
bunch of kooks and some of
them think you are all right."
Others have never even heard
ofTESC.

Forty per cent of the 875
Panorama City residents are
retired from the field of education. There is no minimum
age requirement for eligibility. The only requirements
are $15,000 - $25,000 entrance
fees and no children of school
age living in the home. The
entrance fee depends upon
the type of housing desired.
There is also a monthly
charge ranging from $250 $350 per month. There are
seven different options ranging from private homes to

single studio apartments. The
resident leases his living
arrangement.
Everything is taken care of,
then, for the rest of his or her
life. If the resident gets to the
point where he or she is in
need of extra assistance, the
corporation will move them
into the Quinault Complex
which offers a Continuing
Care program. When the resident needs further care he
may move into the Convalescent Center at an additional
cost.

The community includes
Panorama Hall with its restaurant, barber and beauty
shops and two gift shops. One
of the shops contains craft
items made by Panorama City
residents. It is similar to
Evergreen's art shop.
There is also an auditorium
for programs and theater performances, and a dance fioor
for the frequent Friday night
square dances. Some of the
other recreation facilities in·
clude bass fishing on Chambers Lake and a nine-hole golf
course. One resident bas
made 43 holes-in-one on this
course. Lawn bowling is not
available, as we will soon have
here at Evergreen, but they
do have facilities available for
carpet bowling.
Like Evergreen, Panorama
City has no transportation
problem, with its own mimbus
making frequent trips to area
shopping centers each day.
Frequent trips to Seattle and
other longer charter trips are
also arranged for the residents. One Panorama City
person runs a full-time travel
agency which is similar to The
Yellow Brick Road here at
Evergreen.
Panorama City does include
a few added luxuries that
Evergreen does not have. For
example, if someone passes
out in the bathroom the doors
can be opened in either direetion. There is also maid and
room service in some apart- .,
ments, and some of the quarters feature emergency cords
on the wall.
In accordance with Evergreen policies, the life at Panorama City is not regimented.
Various activities are provided. Also like Evergreen,
not all of the residents are
retired. Some still work full or
part time.
