LETTERS to the EDITOR
Student
Government
To the Editor:
What's all this I hear lately about a
student government? I thought this was
The Evergreen State College, home of
rational free thought and a place where
the administration listened to its students.
Is the administration soon to be listening
to student representatives?
The very concept of a student
government flys right in the face of some
of the goals of this college. When Joe or
Jane Blow Student has to have a
representative to tell the college what
their needs, wants and desires are, we
might as well give up the ghost and
become W azoo.
I recall seeing somewhere or another, a
memo from Ed Kormondy, who at times
seems to be the secret dictator of TESC,
saying that the students must be
prepared, as the college expands to deal
with the administration through representatives. This might be the easiest way
of dealing with a larger college community, but is one of the more inefficient
;means of giving students an actual voice in
that community.
l' :\GE-l

I only hope that the freedom loving
students of this college don't allow this
grotesque plan to be carried out. I for one
will leave this place if a student
government ever has the audacity to
erupt hereabouts, and I hope that the
emigration of disgusted students will
leave the halls of Evergreen silent and
foreboding.
Susan Omare

Evergreeners would have to obey under
penalty of expulsion or being fired in the
case of faculty or staff. This would bring
the whole school together under a
common cause, and of course if the
computer made a bad choice, there's
always assassination.
Chuch Smithe

Graffiti woes
To the Editor:
It has come to my attention that student
government at The Evergreen State
College is a complete void, and this lack of
government is keeping us from any real
school spmt.
My idea is that we set up a student
government. Not just any trite democratic or parliamentary type government,
but I suggest we set up a monarchy.
What we do is let the computer
randomly pick the name of some student
and this student automatically becomes
king or queen. This person can then
appoint their own ministers, council and
court jesters.
The government could be run completely at the whim of the ruler and all

To the Editor:
It has been said by some infamous
sociologists that the quality of a school can
be most directly determined (sensed) by
the quality of the graffiti on the restroom
walls. Having that as a fundamental truth,
I was dismayed during the first year of
Evergreen's existence when it was almost
impossible to find graffiti at all. No doubt
this was a significant point to stress to
legislators. Actually there was graffiti but
in the best of Evergreen's tradition it was
found in the fourty-seven million sheets of
paper pasted to the walls and circulated in
the mails.
The second year, outside agitators (who
did uot understand our new techniques)
crC'pl int.v .~ ur n ·strooms and scribbled a

few mediocre obsenities to try to give us a
bad name. Aside from that, however, we
did not exhibit much of a traditional bent
and the emotional outpouring of the
previous year drained us of the energy to
continue the paper storm (rulings about
tape on the walls helped also.) Therefore
there was so little of traditional
sociological research that related to our
ongoing process and we had no milage
posts from which we could measure our
strivings.
But now we no longer have to lay awake
worrying over our inadequacies to
develop new research methodologies. Our
innovative forms of bill board graffiti have
been put to rest and we may look anew to
the older sociological variables to rate our
institution. Happily restroom graffiti is
being restored to its proper role in
relieving the drudgery of the masses as
they labor to release themselves from the
tensions of living. In current times of
crises we need the best humor, wit and
creative sloganeering available to the
huddled masses. Generally our graffiti has
been better than just average but rarely is
of as outstanding a character as would
identify Reed College, Harvard or even
Cal Tech, but fortunately it is equally
rarely as basely human as that of our
sister state institutions or the University
of Idaho.
We have a long way to go before we can
proclaim ourselves a prestige university
but let us not backslide into the hole of the
descending void.
Earle McNeil

Cop trouble
To the Editor:
While hitchhiking into Seattle on Feb. 1,
1974, from the Evergreen State College,
my hitchhiking partner and I were let out
of the vehicle we were riding in just off to
the side of the freeway in the city of
Tacoma. We were not taken to the
northbound entrance of the freeway where
it would be legal to hitchhike. Knowing we
were illegal, we proceeded to walk off the
freeway to find the correct entrance.
It was not more than one minute after we
started walking, when an acquaintance of
ours from school recognized us and safely
pulled off to the side of the road to give us a
ride. Marveling at our luck, we walked the
short distance to our friend's car, safely out
of the way of traffic by now, and started to
get into the car. At this moment, a State
Patrolman pulled up behind the car and
announced on his loudspeaker, "Hold it!".
As we related our story to him, we

proved we were from the Evergreen State
College by showing our identification cards
and waited for his decision on the situation.
Wanting to be benevolent, and yet prove
his power over the situation, he decided to
give us all warnings-myself, my hitchhiking friend David Rice, and the driver of
our friend's car ,'Christopher Collie.
It was as he was writing out the
correction notices that his conversation
became extremely objectionable to all of us
concerned. His accusations and assumptions of us were incorrect and objectionable_ The situation in my opinion was
poorly handled.
Among some of the comments from this
State Patrolman that I found the most
discriminating were:
Speaking to David: "Kind of robbing the
cradle, arent't you?"; Speaking to me: "I
bet you wish your last name was Rice,
don't you?" ". . .living in the same
building, are you?"; Speaking to Christopher: "Better watch out, I might give you a
Tickie Poo!"
After correction notices were assigned,
he sent our friends on their way without
permitting us to ride with them and took us
to the correct northbound entrance. He
referred to Christopher and said, "They
have names for guys like that, you know."
Christopher has long hair, that was
pulled back at the time of the encounter
which revealed one earring that he wore in
his left ear. The patrolman was implying
that Christopher was a homosexual, which
was an erroneous assumption.
I took offence at the implication, as with
all the others I have noted here. I felt that
my self-worth as a woman was insulted,
and that he was degrading to my self
image.
This incident left me with a poor opinion
of the State Patrol. Before, I held them
with high regard and respected them for
the services they performed. This incident
has left me bitter and angry towards the
State Patrol.
I don't know how many others this man
has offended, but I feel that this kind of
service must come to a halt.
At the same time this incident was
taking place, I was hesitant to reveal my
anger towards this man for fear he would
abuse me further or give me a ticket which
I could not afford to pay, so I held my
opinions until now when hopefully they
may do more good.
My sister and her husband (Edward and
Eugenia Vogt) wilt' stand behind me by
signing this letter also. They were the
persons I was on my way to visit when this
incident occurred. They were also
surprised that a State Patrolman would act

this way and at first reacted with disbelief.
The correction notice number is 184078.
The Patrolman's no.-491; . . . his name:
T.R.Bu . . .
Copies of this letter and the correction
notice that was given me are being sent to
Olympia, Seattle, and Tacoma, in hopes
this patrolman may become aware of his
offending behavior. Perhaps others will
not react so kindly as I have.
Cynthia (Cindy) Jeanne White

Kono scorned
To the Editor:
It is totally beyond my comprehension
that you would allow an article of the
vicious and bizarre nature of the one by L.
Y. Kono to slip into the CPJ. It disturbs
me no end that dangerous loons of the sort
of Kono and this "Tex" Klanzer fellow are
allowed to walk our streets and defile the
pages of our own campus newspaper.
I don't hold much to the kind of
psychological charlatanism of programs
such as POISE and all that other hokum.
But giving assinine deviates such as Kono
front page coverage is such a gross
monstrosity as to exceed all bounds of
decency and good taste.
I hope security has by now picked up
these clowns for having 357 magnums in
their possession on campus. What crimes
agamst nature are they going to commit
next?
I can hardly await the next atrocity by
this duo of dastardly deviates. I hope
someone takes a clue from Mr. Kono's
murderous articles and. . . . him and
that Klanzer schmuck!!
M. Vashon Gomez

Great
neuter
horde
To the Editor:
I and other students have expressed the
opinion that there is not enough sex on
campus. What is observed is a GREAT
NEUTER HORDE of Geoducks. I would
like to know if anyone has any responses,
theories or ideas as to why this situation
exists. Perhaps this paper could publish
illuminating responses.

Editorials
Deans urged to shed armor
President Nixon finds all sorts of clever ways to make his
press conferences pretty worthless. So do the Evergreen
Deans.
Before most press conferences, Ronald Zeigler, President
Nixon's media henchman, screens questions and / or puts restrictions on the type of questions which the press may ask of
the President. Peter Elbow is the Ronald Zeigler of TESC.
The Deans and Ed Kormondy announced proudly that last
Friday, the first in a series of press conferences would be held
to allow students access to what was going on in the world of
the Deans. A number of people felt that they might just as well
have sent a memo.
An open press conference is usually a good thing. Sometimes
surprises occur and people find out things of importance and interest, precisely because of the open nature of true press conferences. A well-placed, well-timed unexpected question is an
important tool in the finding of honest information.
Likewise, questions regarding matters that have arisen in
the past and explanations of previous actions are important in
determining the 'modus operandi' of any person or persons
giving a press conference. A press conference limited strictly to
questions on pending matters is often a press conference with a
missing background. Without a background there can be no
foreground.
Furthermore, it is imperative that persons of responsibility
be held answerable for and to their past actions. Press confer-'
ences are traditionally one of the places to accomplish this .
Because of the unreasonable restrictions and limitations
placed on the press at President Nixon's press conferences,
they have often been referred to as speeches instead. The same
can be said of the Deans.
In the memo which announced the Deans "Press Conference"
it was stated that only Peter Elbow and two other designated

persons would be allowed to ask questions. It was explained
that this was to avoid "having questions fired at administrators." Why not? Why is it that the Deans and Kormondy, some
of the most powerful people at Evergreen, cannot have questions fired at them?
KAOS News was specifically asked not to have microphones
at the conference to record anything that was said. It was
stated that the Deans would be made nervous by the presence
of microphones. Does KAOS news resemble the CIA? Do the
Deans not want to be bugged?
It was announced that questions for the conferences could be
submitted at the info center anytime up 'til noon on Thursday.
These questions are then no doubt looked over by Peter Elbow
and the Deans and some are accepted while others are rejected,
at their discretion. What if Thursday afternoon someone finds
something they want to ask the Deans a question at the conference about?
The questions to be asked are limited to questions on pending
actions only . It was said that the Deans won't answer questions
on past mistakes, only future ones. It is a rare instance that the
Deans will announce something before it is already decided
upon. Sometimes they will announce something that they are
working on, perhaps at one of these Friday sessions, but by the
time anyone can question them on it, presumably the following
Friday. it could very well have been acted on and therefore out
of the questioning.
The idea of a weekly administerial Press Conference is a good
one. But it is a worthless one unless those holding it are willing
to accept the surprises, bumps, grinds and unexpected occurrences that are essential to their effectiveness.
The CPJ urges, "O.K. youse guys, come on out with your
hands up!" Off with the Deans' armor!

Curriculum planning needs students
The program selections for the 1974-75 curriculum have arrived and there are still many students who are wondering
where they came from.
The efforts that were made to include student input in the selection of the academic programs this year were, to say the
least, ineffectual. Although the students were asked to fill out a
questionnaire related to curriculum planning, much of the initial program planning had been accomplished before the results
of the questionnaire were in. The end result was a lot of people
wasted their time trying to make sense out of a difficult questionnaire which was not going to be utilized.
Other efforts to reach out for student input were made with
the same lack of concern regarding their effectiveness. Initiation and planning of programs were done for the most part by
faculty with little input from students. Several important fields

PAGES

were ignored. The entire curriculum selection process remains
obscure to all but a few students.
Academic dean in charge of faculty hiring, Lynn Patterson,
has been making moves to open up the area of faculty hiring to
students by allowing them to review files and make recommendations to the DTF reviewing faculty candidates. Even though
this is moving in the right direction, more action is needed,
such as the inclusion of students on the evaluation team.
We at the Journal feel that the administration needs to take
an active role to involve students in all levels of the curriculum
planning process. Student input is needed in the initiation, selection and planning of the currir.ulu.n if it is to meet their
needs. At prl's!'nl I h(' curriculum selection process allows too
much room for liJt' eling f;t<•ully interests while ignoring student
nl'<'d s .

Sex: A national commodity
by Claudia Brown
The mainstay of free enterprise,
capitalism, is competition. The goal of
capitalist competition is money.
Many argue that quality is the public's
first priority in choosing between products. It would logically follow that
quality would be the basis for competition:
not so!
In our fast moving society the
producers have found that they buyers
have no time to investigate quality
differences. What then determines choice?
Mainly price and necessity.
The producers must make a profit. To
sell, a product should be reasonable in
cost. Therefore a product is made at a low
enough cost to be economically reasonable
after retail markup. We therefore have
poor quality merchandise.
A product will also sell if it is necessary.
Necessity can affect the retail cost of an
item. Food, housing and clothing are
necessary. But what about all the other so
called necessities? "No home should be
without one." If an item is not necessary
the producer must make it so. The more
necessary, the easier it will sell. This also
enables the producer to raise retail prices.
Advertising serves to falsly convince the
public of necessity.

Now women don't have money but their
men do. Men use women to get
other men's money. Yes, I am talking
about sex!
It goes like this. Two men have two
similar products. Lets use feminine
hygiene spray as an obvious example.
F.S.H. is unnecessary; that is why we
haven't heard of it until the 70's. But the
men producers must convince the women
it is necessary, so they will take other
men's money and buy.
Advertising steps in. Both products are
advertised on television. Using a beautiful
woman (dirty trick using women to fool
other women) the producers suggest that
women smell. Not only do they suggest
we smell but that we smell bad to men.
We all know that a sexy, attractive
woman gets her man and his money.
Natural smells are not sexy and therefore
F.S.H. is a necessity, and using it will
make a woman as sexy as that doll on T.V.
After all she got the viril male animal in
the end.
Now that the two products are
necessary how then does one choose X
over Y? more "Sex Appeal".

Jesus is keeping wowed crowds rolling in
the aisles of the theatre, and they're not
rolling with laughter. I don't know if any
of the sick have been made well where
they sit watching the silver screen, but
certain local anti-christs have been made
sick watching the celluloid conversion of
the movies hero.
Now, the Children of God are my
favorites. Some of them have left the
country, Ninevah they call it. Because it's
about to come to an untimely end. Moses
David, the spiritual leader of the Children
of God, who is rumoured to live in an
immense mansion in California, has called
on the world to do something or another.
No one seems just quite sure of what that
is though. The Children of God sects make
a lot of money. End of the worlders always
seem to. I wish I had a racket that good.
What this country seems to be really
ripe for is a religion which makes sense in
our own culture. I mean, just how could
you expect a person from India to obtain
enlightenment in the context of the
United States? If enlightenment is,

Product X takes away that bad smell.
But product Y not only takes away that
smell, it replaces it with one that drives
men wild.
And on it goes with nearly every product
imaginable, even those totally unrelated
to sex, such as cars, cigaretes, and floor
waxes. The comedienne Joan Rivers put it
somewhat in this way; "My husband
comes home to a clean, shiny floor and
says passionately, 'Take your clothes off
and lie down!"'
Until recently women have been the
targets of advertising. Children too are
easy targets. This media sexism starts
early.
But now we have an interesting thing
happening. Men producers have decided
to fool other men. Those beautifying
products formerly exclusive to women are
spreading to the male world. Hot combs,
hair spray, and, yes folks, even make-up
for men have hit the market.
The effects of this are fascinating. Just
as many women have been made
disgusted by this pressure, so will men.
They will soon realize the rediculous,
expensive, and humiliating demands made
by advertising. This will lead to an
increased awareness of fixed sex roles and
stereotypes. Just think, women have been
at its mercy for centuries! A new
understanding of liberation is born.

amongst other things, being in harmony
and time with the spiritual and physical
world around one, how do you expect
someone from India to be in harmony with
a Big Mac? Just the same, how could you
expect a person from Kansas to be in
harmony and time with Chandragupta or
curried rice when they're lucky?
Humans must, and can only find,
enlightenment in the context of that which ·
surrounds them. In the United States
that means, burgers, fries and cokes,
drive-in movies, ballgames and beer in
front of the t.v. during the super bowl.
If Jesus, Moses, Mohammed, Buddha,
Confucious, St. Catherine or any other of
those sort were to walk into the Spar they
would be kjcked out for not wearing shirts
and shoes. How can an American possibly
relate to someone that they can't sit down
over a choclate shake with, or talk about
the hit parade. Yes sirree, enlightenment
comes in all colors, and here in the U.S.A.
it comes in red, white and blue.

The Chehalis River
Anthology: a story of a
divided community
'

by Dean
The people of Elma knew which side of
the river they were on. It was almost as if
they had been born with a yes or no vote
imprinted on their faces.
People took their places, the chairman
rapped for order, and the public zoning
hearing of the State Thermal Power Plant
Site Evaluation Council began. The
purpose: to determine whether the
proposed Satsop Nuclear Plant No. 3 was
in accordance with the zoning regulations
of Grays Harbor County.
The hearing reminded me of a book I
once read, called the Spoon River
Anthology. It's a collection of diary-styled
rt-m~:>mberances written by and about the
l':\GElO

Katz

people of a small Southern town around
the turn of the century.
In 1974, the Chehalis River Anthology
begins with Bob Bush, the town merchant
who "owns Elma." He wants to see the
nuclear plant built.
There's James Duree, the flagrant,
liberal, small town attorney. He would
just as soon see the thing built in Eastern
Washington, or, better yet, not built at
all.
And let's not forget Ralph Frederick,
mayor of Elma, who favors construction
of the nuclear plant as a method of
maintaining "our personal financial wellbeing."

That, my friends, is the reason for the
Satsop Nuclear Plant No. 3; someone's
financial well· being. The Washington
Public Power Supply System (WPPSS),
sponsor of the project, knows when it has
a fish on the line. Just put a big piece of
juicy meat on that hook, and reel 'em in
boys.
Already. the WPPSS has floated $29
million worth of bonds for preliminary
investigation and planning of the Satsop
site. That $29 million bought a lot of
townspeople free dinners and promises for
the future.
What about Walt Failor, mayor of
Aberdeet1'.' He m;!intains that "we must be

responsive to our citizens," but "we can
afford little time to the self-styled experts
and doom preachers that have historically
dragged at the coattails of progress."
The fact that the Elma area has a six to
fifteen per cent seasonal unemployment
rate is ample justification for the nuclear',
plant. It's easy for a big-city, college-educated liberal to come down there with
figures on cancer rates and dead fish. But
what does it really matter where they put
the radioactive garbage, when so many
people are out of jobs?
Think about it for a minute. It's
important to understand the other side of
the coin, especially if all you have in your
pocket are a few pennies.
The people of Elma and Satsop are not
excessivly money hungry, nor are they
particularly ignorant. For the most part,
they are middle class. They want to feed
their families and pay their taxes, and
have good schools for their kids; not much
more, not much less.
There's Dr. James Arima, of McCleary,
about twenty miles down the road. His
brother survived an atomic bomb blast in
Japan, and is now sixty-five years old.

use of such power for the good of mankind
because of the emotional arguments of a
few, I believe the decision makers are
shirking their duty. If people such as my
brother can accept the use of such
awesome force for daily life, we should not
be afraid to accept the benefits also."
Here comes that Jim Duree fellow
again. He's the attorney for Citizens for a
Safe Environment (CASE), who oppose
the plant. Duree is one of those "doom
preachers" who warns that:
"The winds of change are blowing and
they speak of anger, hate, fanaticism, and
death. The siting of a giant nuclear
reactor at Satsop will make this country
into a target and an opportunity for
groups from the Symbionese Liberation
Army to the Black September movement
who want to rip off a few million in
enriched uranium (the fuel for nuclear
reactors)."
Duree has been around for a long time.
He was prosecutor for Grays Harbor
County, and is now in private practice.

to him much any more. He spews out facts
about cancer and leukemia rates, and tells
folks things like:
"There is a serious moral question as to
whether any group should be permitted to
create poisons that will endanger the
human race for two Ice Ages. Ghengis
Khan, Atilla the Hun, Adolph Hitler and
other tryants brought great suffering to
mankind but they did not poison the earth
for 250,000 years."
Another local speaks up. "My name is
Mark Aarhaus. The home my family and I
live in-and will continue to live in-is on
Fuller Hill, just at the edge of the nuclear
power plants exclusion area.
"Today I am speaking for the majority
of the forty -five members of the Big "M"
Flying Club of Elma, and their wives."
"Recently, I had occasion to be in the
Tri-Cities area (near the Hanford nuclear
plant). I have 20-20 vision, and I looked
around carefully, but I didn't see anyone
with the terrible deformities that living in
the area of a nuclear reactor is supposed
to produce. The people all seemed
normal, attractive, prosperous, and happy
with their lives."

"He carries scars of the blast on his
back," Arima writes. "His attitude toward
his experience is one of fate and
acceptance. He did not agitate and
demonstrate against the use of such
power for improving man's lifestyle."

provide 1,400 jobs at peak construction
periods. 200 permanant positions will be
created once the plant is built, with an
annual payroll of $1.5 million.
No one asks the question: who will get
the jobs? Everyone in the town naturally
assumes the unemployed in the area will
land them. That is a questionable
assumption.

The actual plant site will only ta:;e up
about 150 acres of land. There will be
another 1,900 acres of protective reserve
surrounding it. WPPSS will probably put
in a few man made Jakes and some picnic
facilities on the reservation.
Weyerhauser and ITT Rainier, who
own the land now, will leave a screen of
trees to cover the first hundred or so feet·
of the nuclear plants cooling tower. The
remaining 300 feet will stick up in the air,
visible from Highway 12, two miles to the
north.
S. Fred Rapp, president of the Elma
Chamber of commerce, says the "artists
concept of the plant does not damage the
aesthetic beauty of the area, and will
actually be an addition to the beauty of the
skyline.'~

John F. Rapp, son of S. Fred, and a
sophomore at Elma High School, assures
that "there has never been an accident in
an operating nuclear power plant." Not
quite correct John, but at least there are
no known deaths. John also suggests that
the "atmospheric radiation (from a nuclear
plant) amounts to Jess than that received
from a luminous-dial wristwatch." Time
will tell.
Aside from Duree, Richard Cellarius, a
TESC faculty member, and president of
the Northwest Chapter of the Sierra Club,
was the only other person who spoke for
an organized group opposing construction
of the plant. He offered a resolution
adopted by the National Board of
Directors of the Sierra Club, calling for a
moratorium on construction of nuclear

plants pending further research.
The Site Evaluation Council members
listened politely to the various testimony,
and then made the decision everyone
expected them to make. They ruled
unanimously that the land WPPSS wants
to build on is properly zoned for
construction of a nuclear plant.
"That's all she wrote," sighed a young
bearded man in the audience. He stood up
and started to speak, turning slowly
around the room, looking intensely at the
audience of over 200. He says only a few
words, speaking softly, about how
everyone wants everything to work out,
and how they don't want any hassles or
problems, so they are just going to let the
plant slip by. He probably would have
been the Spoon River crazy in days gone
by.
Oswald Greager, chairman of the
council, must have been surprised. He let
the bearded man speak, and when he
finished, Greager banged his gravel for
order. There wasn't any need, the people
were quiet.
Malachy Murphy, the State Attorney
General's Counce! for the Environment,
spoke up for the first time. He assured the
audience that the Courtcil's decision was
"only the first step in the proceedings.
Only now," Murphy said, "can we begin to
take into consideration the environmental
impact (of the proposed plant)."
Murphy told the audience to "please be
assured this isn't 'all she wrote'."

Elbow hosts
afternoon

talk show

by Dana L. Campbell
With an opening statement of "Let's not
'get' the deans and the provost for being
so wrong about everything", Peter Elbow
began what was billed as the first Evergreen Administrative Press Conference.
Representing the administration were
Vice-President and Provost Ed Kormondy, and Deans, Charles Teske, Lynn
Patterson and Rudy Martin. The goal as
stated by Peter Elbow was "to get the administration to open up, to let everybody
know what's on their minds."
Preceding the "conference", Elbow outlined the 'rules' which would be followed
in relation to this and future meetings. He
said that in order to avoid having
questions fired at the speakers, only certain recognised persons would be allowed
to address the panel.
He also limited the range of the questions by stating that "instead of trying to
nail them for their past mistakes, let's try
to get them to talk about their future mistakes." He said it's more important to
know what they're planning on doing,
than to get explanations for what's already been done.
It was suggested that all questions and
topics for the meetings be submitted to.
the Information Center by Thursday at
noon prior to the meeting. In doing this,
the speakers would thus know which questions to prepare answers for, and presumably, which questions they could choose to
ignore.
Elbow then opened the question
segment by asking, "What's on your
minds?" More directly, the Deans were
addressed on the subject of student input.
Rudy Martin, who temporarily postponed comment on this question, began
discussing what his office is up to. He
talked about their efforts at editing program copy submitted by planning teams
and the problems of faculty assignments
for next year's curriculum.
He said that his office had made some
faculty assignments that they regard as
good, permanent assignments and that
others would have to be reassigned. He
said that one of the problems in assigning

faculty was trying to accommodate their
wishes with the needs of the curriculum.
The current faculty assignments should be
completed by this week.
Returning to the subject of student input, Martin described the role of student
involvement in curriculum planning. He
referred to several group contracts that
were primarily initiated by students, and
the efforts of his office to incorporate student opinion in curriculum planning. He
said that response to the Curriculum Planning Survey was the major influence in
program selection this year.
Martin said that his office has also done
its best to encourage student-faculty discussion of proposed curriculum. He said
that ideally students and faculty should
work together on program design.
It was brought up that only four proposed programs had actively attempted to
engage students in program planning
through the channels offered by the Information Center. Martin replied, "Contrary
to some opinion, curriculum at Evergreen
has always been the responsibility of the
faculty. It always has been, it's not necessarily good or right, but that's the way it
is." He added, "Students should direct
their curriculum ideas to the faculty to fill
the gaps in student preference areas."
Focus then shifted to Lynn Patterson on
the subject of Faculty hiring. Patterson
described the twelve member faculty review group that has been meeting for several weeks to sort out the active applicants and make recommendations to Kormondy. She said that the Mino..ity Coalition and other special interest factions
have also engaged in the tedious process
of reading the files. She said, "We want to
encourage people to come over and read
the files. We need help in selecting the list
to be presented to the Deans."
Patterson then explained the hiring
process. She said that, "by and large the
Deans get to narrow the recommendations made by the faculty group and that
the ultimate decisions will be made by
Kormondy."
Other than helping the Review group

Peter Elbow
make their recommendations, students
have no means of input in faculty hiring
decisions.
Kormondy then briefly discussed the
Affirmative Action Plan as it relates to
Evergreen. He said there was a real need
to clarify the ambiguities in the policy
statement. He said that a faculty ~oup
will be meeting to discuss this. When
asked if the meeting would be open to the
public, Kormondy replied, "I have no reason to want it closed."
Kormondy also discussed a federal funding attempt being made by Evergreen under a national program called "Restructuring Under-graduate Learning Environments". The hope is that Evergreen can
get funding for programs and experiments
already in practice.
At this point, the meeting adjou~ned
with perhaps one-third of the ori~nal
audience still in attendance. It left !one
with a frustrated impression of what press
conferences are all about. I think that we
can credit Peter Elbow with a good idea,
but one which will probably never suryive
the processes and rules that W.ere

Guest commentary
The invisible person;
the Asian American
by The Evergreen Asian-American Coalition
Before bringing up any 'Issues' some basic problems must be
stated.
The first 'problem' is one of stereotypes and of identity.
How many times has the Asian-American been asked the
question, "What are you?" And I ask you, Asian-Americans,
What are you, really? Bananas and coconuts ... yellow and
brown on the outside and white on the inside? Have you
thought about it, honestly ~valuated what you are?
And you non-Asian people, what do you say?
The stereotype of the "Quiet Americans," the successful
minority, has become so accepted, that the Asian-American has
conformed to that image! They are oblivious to the discrimination that does go on. And if you think it doesn't exist, read the
Governor's Asian-American Advisory Council's "Discrimination Against Asians," written only last spring. (there will be a
copy of it in the 'office' Lib. 3209)
In conforming to that stereotype image; what has been lost'?
,Only a whole cultural identity, Asian-Americans on the whole,
are so 'white' that they're uninformed of their ethnic culture. Of
the beauty of Oriental dance, art, drama and music. If they
participate in such activities they don't look at it as a part of
themselves, but look at it through "white men's eyes." They are
people who have become so acculturated and assimilated into
white society, they know nothing of their ethnic culture or personality. Granted, that may not be bad, except for the fact that
the same stereotyping question, "who are you'?" will always be
asked again and again.
Asian-American, you are different, you are physically differ' ent whether you are white inside or not. Whether you are
caught up in the stereotype yourself or not.
Therefore, the problem of identity arises.
And when you ask yourself, who am I'? A deep introspective
search must ·take place. And once you reach that point, a
sudden release of repressed hurts come out . . . memories of
past discriminatory instances from childhood until now. To remember how you felt when called, "Jap", "Ching Chong Chinaman," "Flip", "slant eyes" or "rice eater;" to feel left out be• cause your skin and hair were darker, your nose smaller and
broader, your legs shorter. And then the stereotype of being
quiet and studious; what an insult to a child, is it not?
And when this realization hits you, a progression from past
stereotyping to a broad stereotyping, leads you to the media.
What is the image given of the Asian-American in movies,
T.V. and books? Is there any identity, or does the Filipino
houseboy and Chinese Laundryman come to mind? Maybe the
beautiful long-haired, Oriental woman comes to mind? Or the
notoriously evil Chinese torturers, a stereotype of being
- villains; of which one woman said of Fu Manchu (which incidentally, along with Charlie Chan, was played by a white man in
yt>llow face), "I hate to admit it, but I grew up with a fear of the

Chinese that emanated solely from movies I saw as a child ...
and I still can't walk through Chinatown in New York or San
Francisco without an uneasy feeling even though I know it is
stupid and ridiculous. Those old pigtailed villains of my childhood made a lasting impression, slinking around (in that kind of
film the Chinese never walk, they slink) in their opium dens,
thinking up unspeakable tortures for kidnapped white girls."
(pg.35, ROOTS: An Asian-American Reader).
Maybe you see the Asian as Jerry Lewis' "Hong Kong
Flewis," with buck teeth, faked "oriental" accent, slanted eyes,
and pigeon -toed stance. The Asian-American's physical
appearance and culture is made fun of, and hence cause people
to think of Asian-Americans as clowns or idiots. "Where does
the child see the Asian as a human being'? Nowhere as often as
he sees him as a fool. The white child learns that Asians are
subjects for laughter, but what does the Asian child learn?
Does he learn that he is a fool and so rejects his Asian identity
to 'join' his white friends? Does he learn that he is a fool and so
hides from his white friends? But why must he be pushed into
these corners?" (pg. 34ROOTS: An Asian-American Reader).
And bringing it up to date; What about the stereotyped
image of Mrs. Livingstone on the "Courtship of Eddie's
Father". Why is 'Caine' on Kung Fu, played by a white man?
Why are the biggest roles in Hawaii Five-0 played by whites.
And why are the whites the superiors?
I bring up these stereotypes because they are in existence,
and they do prevent Asian-American awareness, identity, and
growth.
To bring it closer to home: In the TESC Bookstore, under minorities or any section; I and other Asian-Americans have yet
to find any books on Asian-America. There are things on the
Far East, but not Asian-American. And to my knowledge, in
the TESC Library there are no books on the current
Asian-American movement and culture. To be able to find any
literature you must make a trip to Seattle, and if they don't
have them, you must order them, from places like San Francisco. There are no films in the film library dealing with the current Asian-American movement. To see any Asian-American
films, you must. order them, from such places as U.C.L.A. Besides taking time it takes a chunk of money for rental fees.
Granted, there are Chinese language classes, but that is
Chinese, and not dealing with Chinese-Americans. There was a
program last year, Japan and the West, but what about the
Japanese-American?
We have one Asian-American faculty member, and a few
Asian-Americans on the staff.
And the first year TESC was open there was a program.
CAM (Contemporary American Minorities) where the Blacks,
Native Americans. and Chicanos were represented; but no
Asian - Anwril·an~.

Why?

Faculty.recruitment

Door opened to student input
by John Foster

Faculty recruitment for the 1974-75
academic year is now entering its final
stages. Primary responsibility for the selection lies with the faculty recruiting
evaluation team which is now examining
the files of the forty or more active candidates. Provided that the legislature approves Evergreen's bUllget, some twenty
faculty positions will be available; eleven
new positions and nine that are currently
held by faculty with one year contracts.
Ample opportunity, however, still exists
,for all members of the community to provide input into the selection process. In
the past, students have had virtually no
part in this very important aspect of college decision-making. If Evergreen is to
fulfill both its educational needs and its
Affirmative Action policy, then these faculty members must be chosen with the utmost care. This can best be achieved if all
segments of the community take interest
in the selection.
Students and special groups within the
college have not participated in the selection process in the past primarily because
official college policy on faculty recruitment, as outlined in the faculty handbook,
completely ignores their existence. Official policy does not even recognize the
need for student input. The faculty "DTF"
established on page 13-1 of the handbook,
for the purpose of reviewing candidates, is
composed entirely of T.E.S.C. faculty
members. The only part of the section on
faculty recruitment in the faculty handbook that actually recognizes the existence of students lists them as "others".
These "others", along with faculty, deans,
and administrative staff, may solicit
candidates and write a letter of recommendation supporting them. The students
have no official role, however, with regards to unsolicited candidates. Yet, it
could be argued that most students here
have at least as much, and perhaps more,
interest in the quality of education at Evergreen as faculty and deans.
To remedy these defects in college policy, Lynn Patterson, the Dean in charge of
faculty recruitment, has gone out of her

way to make it possible for students and
special interest groups to participate in
the selection process this year. In doing
this she has gone far beyond the official
faculty recruitment policy statement.
At present, the twelve member faculty
evaluation team (DTF) still has primary
responsibility for reviewing the candidates. Memos on the subject are still addressed only to faculty members. Nevertheless, Lynn has made a very important
change. She has instituted a special procedure which will make it possible for students to review the files and make recommendations.
Students are now welcome to examine
the files of the candidates, especially the
files of those who are off campus and who
will not be coming in for interviews. There
is, however, a traffic problem, which
makes adoption of a definite procedure
necessary.
Students will be able to look at a sheet
listing the disciplines of the faculty candidates and their names late next week at
Grace Woodruffs office in Lab 1005.
Three days, Feb. 19, 20 and 21, will be set
aside for students to review the files.
They may request from Grace Woodruff
the files of specific candidates, to be read
in Lab 1002. Because of the traffic problem, and due to the fact that faculty members need to review the files, students
may only peruse through them on these
three days. On the basis of their examination of the files they may write a recommendation with regards to any candidate,
or dealing with the general needs of the
college. These forms should be turned into
either Grace or Betty Kutter. Any recommendation on the selection of specific
prospective faculty members will go directly into the files of these candidates.
The Evergreen system of education requires a very special type of teacher, who
must be able to teach in a cooperative
fashion as a facilitator. Faculty members
at T.E.S.C. must be able to be both counselors and co-learners, and frequently at
the same time. Faculty candidates must
be chosen to a large extent on their ability
to fulfill these requirements.
Furthermore, Evergreen has specific

needs that are all too often ignored. The
school has twelve biologists and only one
geologist; five anthropologists and only
two economists; seven psy,chologists and
two people with expertise in the area of
urban planning; five philosophers and one
lawyer. Of the 1973-74 faculty 74.6% are
men and 25.4% women, 84.2% white and
15.8% non-white. All of these factors
must be taken into consideration when the
final decisions are made.
Input by all groups within the college,
especially by students, is essential to insure the right kind of decision-making.
Lynn Patterson has made it possible for
students to take part in faculty selection
this year, but this may or may not be regarded by the administration as a precedent to be followed in future years. Certainly, consideration should be given to
the possibility of allowing students to become members of the faculty recruitment
DTF. Such a policy would conform with
the Evergreen philosophy of a cooperative
academic community.

Students may review the files on
prospective faculty members for 1974-75,
all day, Feb. 19, 20, and 21. Students
wishing to do so should see Grace Woodruff in Lab 1005.

KAOS needs music people to do
morning shows. Both classical and jazz are
needed. Ideas to add to the ever
expanding world of KAOS are always
welcome. People with ideas or interested
in doing a show should drop by KAOS
central, CAB 305 or call866-5267 any time
during the week.

A million dollar toy
by Ben Norton
Evergreen's computer is located in the
Library basement and has extensions (terminals) located in the first floor of the Library, in the science building, at the U. of
W. Business School, Shelton, Longview,
and in various student and staff member
homes. Its users can be divided into some
basic groups including learning programmers, computer graphics people, science
programmers, learning resource users,
and last, but far from the least, game programmers and players.
From the first day that the computer
was turned on two years ago, games have
been used and programmed extensively.
And, from the first day that the computer
was turned on, computer services has
been trying to think of ways to redirect all
that game playing energy into more "pro- .
ductive" applications. All attempts were
mostly ignored by the flocks of curious
hippies that would walk in to play with the
million dollar pinball machine.
Through the two years following, Evergreen's empty computer memory banks
began to fill up with lots of programs. The
science people were writing better and
better science programs, the graphics
people were making better and better
computer art, and programs had been
written to teach people how to program.
While all this progress was being made,
computer games at Evergreen developed
from simple games like TIC-TACK-TOE,
BLACKJACK, and SLOT MACHINE to
advanced versions of STAR TREK, SEAWAR, ORBIT, GO, GO MOKU, and
KALLA. Evergreen's game library grew
to be one of the biggest and most creative
in the nation. The games written at this
school compare and sometimes exceed
those written at M.I.T. or Cal Tech. They
tax the abilities of our computer to ita
very limits and, in the case of some games,
make the computer so compute bound that
Computer Services will not allow them to
be played.
One of the reasons I was asked to write
thi~ article was to explain (if possible) a
game presently being played at Evergreen. The game is called Civilization and
PAGE:?O

is an attempt to simulate war, peace and
international relations.
Civilization is massive in size and has
equally massive data banks to store all the
information tlaat must be processed in
order to allow the game to function. It is
by far the largest program system of any
kind ever to be used on Evetgreen's computer, and accounts for over one-third of
its user time.
The game is played on a planet with
seventy-two islands scattered about in a
huge body of water. Each player is a
separate country and begins with one
square of land and 200 civilians. He has
the ability to communicate with other
countries in an attempt to form alliances
and/or make political deals, while he is attempting to industrialize and fortify his
own country.
Expansion, construction, attacking,
population growth, and most other activities which affect a nation's ability to gain
power are controlled by the use of time
units. Each nation receives 12 time units a
day which are used each time any
expansion or growth-oriented activity
takes place. Thus a nation can only progress so far in any given number of days.
How and when he chooses to use his time
units determines his national goals which
soon become apparent to his neighbors.
Each island, depending on its size, is
divided into sections (up to 400) called
quadrants. Each quadrant may be designated by its owner to perform certain
functions. He may build an industry on
one, or a mine, a port, trade center, fortress, airport, capitol, rural, urban, nuclear plant, jet plant, artillery factory,
satellite lab, launch pad, warehouse, etc.
All need construction, and in order to produce their various products they require
civilian workers.
A country's population is divided into
military and civilians. Civilians are only
capable of reproduction and working in industries. However, they offer no resistance to enemy attack. They are in fact
captured and become part of the enemy
population. Civilians may be converted to
military for defense purposes, but once
drafted may never return to civilian life.

With this bare outline of the game, a
general look is possible as to why the
game was written and what happened in
the game since it began October 1st, 1973.
The programmer was first of all creating a
fantasy world for the pleasure of those
who chose to play. But he was also curious
as to what students would do with a world
of their own. They had all the tools needed
for war - military, artillery, phantom
jets, bombs, ships of all kinds, and even
spy satellites. They also had many tools
for peace - communication, embassies,
and treaties enforced by the computer.
They could share the land available
equally or fight over it and even make it
unlivable with nuclear warheads. In the
four months following., they did a combination of both, following a pattern not too
distant from the development of the modern world.
The game began with 10 original countries. All were placed on a large 400 quadrant island named (appropriately) Eden.
Eden's mines were rich with ore and there
was plenty for all. Each country had only
one quadrant, leaving 390 for a frontier.
Other nations were admitted by majority
vote of those already playing thus preventing any one player from getting too
many countries. When a nation starts out,
the quadrant he occupies is called a sanctuary. They are impossible to attack with
land forces, jets, artillery or from the sea.
The quadrant remains a sanctuary until
the nation enlists military or expands out
of the square into adjoining quadrants.
This allows new nations a chance to build
up time units and look around without fear
of being wiped out by an already developed nation.
At first all the players chose to remain
in sanctuary for almost a week, mostly
just voting on applicants and occasionally
using a little time for population growth.
More sanctuaries appeared and three
broke sanctuary, occupying a few extra
quadrants. Three such nations, all high
school students, allied together, calling
themselves The Black Army. They were
convinced that conquest was the way to
go. This brought about the swift death of
all three when •.)ther nations started their

development.
The world was free from war for some
time. The high school students were admitted again as new nations and they
seemed to have learned from their previous experience. Although there was no
war, nations were not working together.
They just worked by themselves, occupying empty areas and building defenses.
The north half of Eden was developed by
five nations while the south continued to
collect new sanctuaries. As the south developed, land ran short and wars were
fought. They had no time to build industries but were forced to hide in fortresses
making small raids on any neighbors that
looked weak enough. The north thus was
the first area to build artillery and shells.
At this particular point in history an artillery piece represented an almost
unimaginable power that was capable of
knocking down fortress walls five quadrants away. It could kill civilians in a city
on the other side of fortress barriers or destroy industries before the construction
could be completed. Attack on a nation
with this power was unthinkable. This
forced the smaller nations to fight among
themselves for additional land, further
stunting their development.
Soon nations in the north were building
ships and their attention was turned
toward exploration and colonizing new
islands. A ring of mines was laid off the
southern coast of Eden with battleships
blockading any nations from leaving. The
blockade lasted for a few weeks and theu
was lifted. During this period a one-day
war was fought between a nation in the
south and a member of N.E.T.O. (North
Eden Treaty Organization). By this time,
the southern nation had developed artillery and had used it effectively to grow
large in area. It had, however, underestimated the mechanized power of the north.
The country w'a{! shelled from the north
and battered by battleships anchored off
the southern coast. Its capital was taken
and thousands were kilJed in its cities
leaving only plague and rubble. It surrendered immediately and started the long
road to rebuild from the ruins.
The world then moved into a period of
colonization. Sanctuaries were now landing on another island since Eden was full.
The nations remaining on Eden settled
down to run their colonies and build their
navies. The first nuclear warhead was
built and outside of minor naval engagements, all was fairly peaceful.
When Eden developed, the nations of
great power were not bent on conquest.
This was also true on the second sanctuary island, Manhattan. But on Manhattan,

a sanctuary rose to power named Little
Napoleon. It lived only for conquest and
had superb generals. It managed to defeat
the three most powerful nations on the
island in a war that lasted almost a month.
The other nations already had colonies
when Little Napoleon left sanctuary, so
when the war finally ended, they started
to develop them.
The game had split into different classes
of nations. Three or four nations were
huge in size and power. Some had 20 islands all to themselves. There were
middle class nations also, with possessions
on a few islands, and there were many
small nations and sanctuaries (now

under the table. Although the game appeared to be open dealing between different nations, all the decisions were really in
the hands of a few. They played the
middle class againat the lower class just asthe rich in America do.
The land finally ran out and colonization
soon became a nuclear arms race, which in
turn was followed by a nuclear war on
Eden with each nation's missiles responding to their doomsday coordinates automatically. Eden was lost as well as several
other islands. Big power leadership was
lost and the world went into small wars
with nuclear explosions each day. The
world of Civilization is now in a period of

with a large nuclear stockpile. Most of the

way that nations related to each other resembles closely the way people of different classes relate in America today. The
upper class had everything and could get
almost any smaller nation to do as it
wished. They made a lot of political moves
but almost never used any direct force. If
force was called for they could get a
middle class nation to do the dirty work.
The middle class nations would confer
with the larger powers, asking permission
to attack a smaller nation. This made it
necessary for the little nations to beg for
protection from the super powers, because with a great power as your friend,
the middle class would not get permission
to attack you.

Book review·

Our Bodies, Ourselves
Careful representation of both sides to
an issue was included, and therefore one is
able to weigh arguments concerning
subjects like the safety of the Pill.
Similarly, two physicians with opposing
opinions on the etiology of dysmenorrhea
are given space. The authors are unable to
overcome their standing as lay people
researching medical problems, and are
unfortunately not able to judge these
arguments. But they have at least
presented differing views.

by Libby Lastrapes

Our Bodies, Ourselves is the most
comprehensive handbook of female sexuality and physiology currently available.
It was produced by the Boston Women's
Health Collective, and, as a book by
women, it necessarily concerns itself with
matters most crucial to the understanding
of our biological and emotional selves.
Chapters are included on the subjects of:
Anotomy of reproduction, our identities
as women, sexuality, our relationships
with ourselves and others, nutrition,
rape, Lesbianism, venereal disease,
women in motion, birth control, abortion,
deciding whether to have children,
childbearing, and menopause.
The book combines various technical
and theoretical aspects of medicine and
health, but it is not merely a text book on
female physiology. Almost every chapter
includes personal testimony by women
which relates to the subject, adding
commentary and personal insight which,
combined with the factual information,
presents an empathetic view of women's
relationships to their bodies. These
commentaries are candid, un-edited, and
represent a wide spectrum of female
experience. This kind of approach also
allows women reading to relate their own
experiences to those of other women, and
also to gain insight into different
experien«:es.
The authors themselves are represented as situationally similar; heterosexual, some presently or formerly
married, white, college-educated, and
therefore fairly affluent. Their most
important common trait is that of
dissatisfaction with traditional Jiving
experiences open to women. But their
similarities do not bind them to bigotry or
narrowness to the exclusion of their
sisters. For example, the section on
Lesbianism was turned over to and
written by Boston's, Gay Women's
Collective. They are also quick to note the
potential of genocide which legalized

abortion carries for poor and black people,
even though they believe it to be the only
means by which women can gain control
of their bodies.

Being children of the sixties, their
personal commentary at the beginning of
the book becomes, in larger terms, a
commentary of the women's movement
itself. In the book, this commentary deals
specifically with the subject of exploitive
women's health care. They offer an
alternative to women, who are the most
frequent victims of the male-dominated
medical profession. It's purpose is that of
education, to make women aware of their
bodies on a Jess superficial . level, and to
therefore be able to act knowledgeably
within the profit-oriented health system.
The volume's heavy emphasis on medical
information combined with sisterly support aids in the encouragement of
intelligent and healthy self-determination.
Also, in order that the book be accessible
to all women, the writers designed it
specifically to be fah·ly inexpensive,

Most chapters also include lists of
related material for further reading on
their specific subjects. These lists are
quite comprehensive; for instance, the list
for the sexuality section includes books in
catagories such as historical and current
books, pamphlets and journals, fiction,
specific information, and Lesbianism.

The lay standing of the authors also
contributed to the presence of a few
inaccuracies, the most obvious of which
concerned Rh factor. It is not true that,
". . .it should be determined whether he
has both Rh plus and Rh minus genes, in
which case the fetus, having some Rh
minus genes (like you), will be unaffected." (p. 179) But, on the other hand,
they make information available which,
though not generally known, can be of
great importance in some situations. For
example, many women using the diaphragm are not aware that they should be
refitted if they either gain or loose ten
pounds.

The strength of this book lies in the
skillful integration of factual information
with concern for the over-all female
experience. By its representation of
alternate styles of life of women the cause
of the book becomes, as does the cause of
the women's movement itself, that of all
humanity-a greater tolerance for other
modes of existence in general.
