LETTERS to the EDITOR
Student
Government
To the Editor:
This letter is in response to the two letters concerning "Student Government"
and the editorial, "Curriculum planning
needs students" of the Feb. 15 issue.
I feel that there is a definite lack of political awareness and understanding at
Evergreen. Many of us are still living with
the assumption that politics and political
organizing are limited to the token people's participatory governments of our
states and this nation.
We must come to an understanding that
government and politics are much more
than the election of some officials to "represent" us. Politics describes
whole
•arena of human interaction involving the
making of policy and decisions. Political
organizing is not necessarily directed
solely toward establishing or the maintaining of a "government"; it is a means by
which we realize, coordinate, and direct
our collective power.
I know not of the rumors to which these
letters refer. I can see a growing number
PAGE4

a

of students on this campus who are organizing to influence policy decisions; but I do
not assume that this is a move toward
"student government".
One area in which we can affect decisions is that of curriculum planning.
Though the program descriptions are now
at the printers, this does not mean that
group contracts and coordinated studies
have been irreversibly locked into their
embryonic stages. Much of the planning is
still to be done, and most of it is usually
done during the last weeks of summer.
With the decision that students must
commit themselves to next year's academic programs this spring, it is particularly important that we engage in curriculum development during the next three
months.
I suggest that if you wish to help determine your academic future, that you start
by acquainting yourself with the programs selected for next year (available at
the Information Center); that you demand
to speak with the faculty who are attempting to plan your future studies; that you
read the files of prospective faculty members and submit evaluations of these applicants; and that you organize a series of
meetings with students interested in a

program and the faculty assigned to design that program, perhaps over lunch
each week next month. We should not believe that the faculty have some mysterious gift to divine our academic wishes and
necessities.
So, let us not divide ourselves in sectarian squabbling over the existence of a rumored student government, but organize
our power toward self-determination.
Geoffrey Rothwell

Farce
conference
An Open Letter to TESC Administrators:
I, along with many others that I have
talked with, am very repulsed by the
format proposed for your "press conferences". To say that this represents an
open policy of information at Evergreen is
nothing but a farce. You are continuing
your tradition of inaccessability and
shrewd unacountability. A sterilized,
manicured Evergreen is definately in the
making and your reluctance to have open
dialogue with students will only contribute to the further deterioration of the
qualities that first. brought us to

Evergreen.
I hope to attend the Friday conference.
I hope to ask my questions directly, not to
be screened'. They will pertain to the
philosophy of you, the decision makers.
Not the general, broad, meandering
"Well, I don't think you should be doing
this" questions, but important ones. Such
as: Why is Evergreen (i.e. Schillinger and
Kormondy) adhering to a doctrine of
uniformity? What are their honest
feelings of "different" things such as the
Farm or ESP? Do they see any future for
"different" projects such as these or will
we only have good looking buildings and
interiors that will look good to visitors? By
attending Evergreen and watching it
function, it is difficult not to realize that
you 'decision-makers' have a very
well-defined master plan. Out-of-the
ordinary things do not seem to be
welcomed.
Maybe I am wrong, possibly I have felt
attitudes that don't exist. If this is so, I
hope you will set me straight. Directly.
With none of this screening board
childishness.
Paul T. Richards

They are dedicated not to the wholesale
mltssacre of humanity but rather to the
fulfillment of their revolutionary principles-the elimination of human suffering.
2. There is a lack of information in the
news media about who, exactly, the
Hearst family is and possible reasons why
the SLA has chosen them to be the targets
of their action. Of course it would be
absurd on my part to attempt to present a
complete economic and political history of
the Hearsts; however certain facts
deserve comment. The Hearsts control an
economic empire through a series of
newspapers (including the Seattle P.I.),
magazines, radio and television stations
on which millions of Americans depend for
news coverage. Mr. Hearst consistently
uses this inherited position of power and
trust to present most conservative and
reactionary interpretations of the political
and social issues facing us. The question
should be dealt with as to why the Hearsts
are entitled to this huge access to the
minds of the American people with their
viewpoints, while the rest of us are
seemingly powerless.
3. The fact that this kidnapping has
aroused so much attention is precisely a
key to seeing the absurdity of class
structure in the United States. We are all
supposed to feel sorry for poor little

life for millions of Americans is becoming
not any better but more grim. In view of
the ease with which the Hearsts and their
ruling class cohorts can seemingly

plausible reasons why the SLA should
play their game, if only to taste more and

It is not my place to make any
judgements on the rightness or wrongness of these events. But I feel that it is
imperative that all Americans understand
some of the key p'oints concerning the

reasons for these actions.
In conclusion, the purpose of this letter
has not been to swell the ranks of the
S.L.A. here in Olympia for I myself have
certain reservations about their activities.
Rather it has been my desire to present a
few facts pertinent to an open minded
analysis of the kidnapping. My one hope is
that this letter will provoke from
members of the community an attempt to
discover the true objectives and motivations of the S.L.A. The sad truth is that no
one will need to write a letter to this paper
explaining the Hel,lrst "perspective" on
this and/ or other social issues because
we've all had it hammered into us most of
our lives.
Bob McChensney
Editors Note: Copies of the S.L.A. 's
demands and statements as they appeared
in the P-I are available in-the Information
Center for interested community members.

Student input
To the Editor:
I wish to express my personal
appreciation for seriously looking at "the
community concept" of Evergreen's
functioning. I have much too often been
disappointingly confronted with TESC
demi-gods, bureaucrats, and very traditional institutional functioning.
Evidence towards the lack of student
. input has pitifully displayed itself time
and again; from the office of facility
planning and our college architecture, to
the questioning of continuing an organic
farm, to the lack of art programs, to the
faculty hiring procedures ... the list goes on
and on.
My guess is that we, as students and
the largest body of the TESC Community,
need to take more active stands to insure
(and if necessary, demand) that our voice
be heard.
I look forward to continued investigation into this much overstated 'new and
innovative' community.

Editorial
Evergreen: affirming what?
09

The actions of special interest lobby groups affect all of us.
Billions of dollars are spent each year on defense contracts
arranged and pushed through Congress by powerful special interest lobby groups. At the state level, lobbyists are responsible for insuring that highway builders have highways to build
whether they're needed or not. Lobbyists are responsible for
influencing and changing many important policy decisions.
Here at Evergreen, there has risen a number of groups
lobbying for their particular interest. Perhaps the most noticeable lobby activity has centered around faculty hiring in the
light of the Affirmative Action Policy. While it has been the
intention of the affirmative action policy to be applied as a
criterion to judge between candidates when all other qualifications are equal, lobbying efforts have managed to place the affirmative action policy in a position of determining importance.
Special interest groups finding themselves in a position of
power, can wield the affirmative action policy as a weapon
whenever a decision is made contrary to their wishes.
One of the more active of these special interest groups, the
Women's Center, has been busy bolstering the files of women

faculty candidates with letters of recommendation. A notice
outside the Women's Center cites Helen Rippier Wheeler as a
prime target of such "affirmative action". It is a shame that
hiring preference is being given along the lines of what type of
quota a person can fill, rather than what type of academic void
they can fill.
A former mem her of a faculty hiring DTF, commented on the
past hiring of a faculty member, "Well, at the time, I didn't feel
that she was qualified, but she was the only woman on the list,
and we needed a woman, so-"
The issue in question is not whether women and non-whites
should be given the opportunities which they have obviously
been denied, the issue is that affirmative action is being used as
a tool to fill quotas and promote special interest by a well organized group of 'lobbyists'.
If qualifications such as education and experience become of
secondary importance to the goals of filling quotas, then Evergreen can expect to become a second class educational institution for everyone.

There's a bottom below'

There are many people proposing
possible solutions for the gas shortage.
Politicians, economists, and the man and
woman on the street all have an answer.
Most of their solutions center about
measures such as price fixing, coupon
rationing, and voluntary gas rationing,
(that is the so called "Oregon plan" which
uses a system whereby motorists with odd
number license plates receive gasoline on
odd number days and motorists with even
number plates receive gasoline on even
number days.) other solutions call for
price rollbacks of gas, and/or nationalization of the oil firms themselves. Some
people advocate destroying the gas and
even the bombing of Washingt:m D. C.
Representatives from major U.S. oil
companies testified before ~he Senate that
an effective way to overcome shortages is
to allow the law of supply and demand to
function as a free market. It is true that
there would be as much gasoline available
as anyone would care to buy, as long as
the were willing to pay the price. There
would be little or no waiting lines and
many of the gas stations would return to
their former 24 hour gasoline service. The
biggest drawback of this situation is, in
order for it to exist, the price of gasoline
might have to rise to the level of one dollar
per gallon or more.
This higher price would result in higher
oil company revenues and profits than
they are already experiencing. This is a
solution which many people find unacceptabie, considering the already increasing
level of profits experienced by the oil
companies in 1973 compared to 1972.
Price fixing would have no immediate
effect, except to keep the cost of gasoline
from the pumps at the level which they
presently are. This method, though, does

nothing to end the long lines of waiting
motorists or make the availability of
gasoline greater.
Coupon gas rationing is one of the more
talked about solutions on campus and in
the media. This method offers the widest
range of possible alternative combinations. A motorist would receive a
specific allotment of rationing coupons at a
regular time interval, weekly or monthly,
and could purchase gasoline up to the
rationed amount at the going rate. This
plan, however, does not insure that the
gas station will be open or that they will
have gasoline for the customer. The plan
as it is being proposed will allow motorists
to purchase more than their coupons allow
providing that the customers are willing
to pay a higher price for it. This would be
a tax, of sorts, yet to be established hy the
Energy Commission.
The coupon gas rationing system by its
na~uce creates another form of monetary
exchange. The coupons themselves
acquire a value probably equal to the
amount of the extra tax determined by
demand.
Senator Jackson's proposal for a price
rollback, is not a solution. Given the
amount of gasoline available today, it
would only create longer lines of waiting
motorists. At the lower price there would
be more people willing to buy the same
fixed amount of gasoline.
Nationalization of the oil companies
would not solve the immediate crisis of
short supply, long waiting lines, or higher
prices. It is debatable whether the nation
would be better off economically or
otherwise in the long run.
Those who would destroy the existing
gasoline reserves would find that they
have only compounded the shortage,

adding to their existing frustrations. Even
the solution of bombing Washington D. C.
would not solve the immediate crisis.
A voluntary gas rationing system such
as the so called "Oregon plan" has
probably the greatest chance of succeeding. This system depends upon the
cooperation of the motorist, for its
success, and upon the gas station owners
themselves. It is being tried presently in
Washington and in numerous states
across the country. In Oregon, where the
system was first used, it proved to be
effective in reducing the waiting lines.
With the new energy law setting a three
dollar minimum purchase requirement
being advocated by William Simon, it will
also effectively prohibit motorists that
only wait in line to top off their tanks.
These are the most obvious effects of
the different solutions offered. There
would be many effects accompanying each
of these solutions and I have made no
attempt to list them all here.
This whole discussion surrounding the
gasoline shortage may be answered by the
gas station owners themselves. Last week
William Simon announced that stations
could not sell just to preferred customers,
motorists who "put the bread on the
table," with their business. Angry dealers
called it "the last .;traw", and threatened
to pump out their monthly allocations and
close up, in protest of the government's
decision.
This week the state gasoline dealers
will decide whether or not to go through
with the threatened "pump out". A pump
out could mean a situation where
motorists end up waiting 10 or 15 days for
the next truckload of gasoline to arrive.
Melvina Reynolds put is nicely when she
said, "If you think you've hit bottom, oh
no. There's a bottom below."

c ·u rriculum planning:
students lose out
by John Foster

The philosophy of Evergreen, as presented in the T.E.S.C. bulletin, develops
th idea of a "community of learners"
working towards the development of a dynamic educational environment. A cooperative learning community of this sort,
however, does not presently exist at Evergreen. Students have not been given adequate opportunity to participate directly
in the decision-making process. The faculty and administration monopolize planning. All of this can be seen quite clearly if
one examines the procedure utilized for
planning the 1974-75 academic curriculum.

Academic program planning, this year,
was almost exclusively a faculty responsibility. Rudy Martin, the Dean in charge of
curriculum selection for 1974-75, recently
pointed out that this has been true in the
past also. Very few students took an
active part. Yet, this is scarcely surprising since students were de facto excluded
from the process. Although students, in
line with college policy, could propose and
belp design programs as well as provide
input into the selection process, they were
not provided with the information that
would make this possible. Memos on the
subject were addressed solely to faculty
members. Deadlines were not public
knowledge. Only a handful of students
were aware of how and when to participate in the planning. Indeed, a large number of students are still wondering how
the 1974-75 programs were actually selected.

Furthermore, students are given a false
sense of participation, not always justified, by surveys such as the one on past
programs and disciplinary interests circulated shortly before the final dt:~:ision on
the new academic programs was made by
the Deans. It is interesting to note that selection of academic programs for 1974-75

PAGE 10

was made before these results were fully
tabulated. In their untabulated form they
could hardly have been used extensively
in arriving at the decision.

The Deans set aside a morning for students to talk to the faculty of the proposed
programs, halfway through the quarter.
Tables were set up in the library lobby
and faculty members were available. Unfortunately, however, the meeting was
not announced in the happenings or in the
Cooper Point Journal. Consequently,
there was little response. There is really
no excuse for this type of administrative
bungling.

The college faculty were directly responsible for a good deal of the lack of participation by students in the planning.
Faculty members had direct contact with
the students and had a far better knowledge of what was happening. Yet, only a
small number of students received information on program planning from their
facilitators. It is fair to assume that
faculty at the college"have an obligation to
pass information on to students that relates directly to their educational opportunities. Nevertheless, this was not done.

When the survey on disciplinary interests was sent out from the Deans only
about 1,000 out of the original 2,000 returned. This can only be attributed to faculty neglect. Quite a number of faculty
members must have believed that student
input was not essential. During faculty
planning week when the final supplement
copies of the new programs were being
written only two program coordinators
sent word to the information center on
meeting times, despite the fact that this
had been suggested by the Deans. All of
this stands as a gross insult to the official
Evergreen policy of cooperation.

Curriculum planmng at Evergreen is
not a minor issue. An entire year in the
future of the college is at stake. The outcome closely affects students, faculty and
staff. Academic program design is of crucial importance to students since the object of the programs is to fulfill their educational needs. Yet, the decision-making
procedure with regards to this issue almost completely left out this entire sector
of the academic community. It is very
difficult, to say the least, to believe that a
cooperative community of learners exists
at Evergreen when something like this
occurs.

Quite a number of procedures, none of
which are very difficult, or complicated
could be instituted to insure student participation in this aspect of decision-making
in the future. Memos on the subject could
be sent to students and student groups.
Students could be invited to attend the
meetings on curriculum planning. Deadlines could be posted around the college
for everyone to see. A two-day Academic
Fair could take plac~ shortly after the program proposals first come out. Faculty
members could take on the responsibility
of keeping students informed. If these
things were done, perhaps, Evergreen
would develop into a real "community of
learners", in the fullest sense of the term.

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 call 866-5267 any time
during the week.

Guest commentary
by Don Smith
Student Security Officer

Exactly what is Security's function on the campus of TESC?
Asid<' from the obvious, what should it's goa)s be? How "tough"
should :;ecurtiy be in the enforcement 1of laws and policy?
Bhould there be more Securtiy? Less?

' referred to as "the best
I've heard TESC's Security force
possible" and I've heard cries of Evergreen becoming a
"police-state." It seems that every individual on this campus
has a different conception of what the Se~urtiy Department is
for-or what it isn't for. Between trying to keep up with these
various opinions and trying to maintain a secure campus the
department sometimes finds itself in uncomfortable positions.
One example is the new policy concerning weekend usage of the
Library building.
The Library building had become the target of vandals and
totally hair-raising, but criminal incidents
were becoming alarmingly frequent. A stolen camera here, a
missing tape recorder there. Shit-smeared walls, broken
windows, missing keys, piano slashing ... they all began
happening. Due to a limited budget (therefore a limited duty
force) Securtiy found itself unable to afford adequate
patrol-protection for the building. It was decided than that on
weekends most of the library building would femain locked. No
more letting people in, just because they wanred in-now they
had to have a written authorization through 'tp~ Security office.
This wouldn't rid the campus of crime, bl.tl {t would ease the
weekend incident rate in the library.
'
thiev~s ... nothing

I J.

People became extremely irate when the)t' 1discovered they
couldn't get into the wings. They (many} became vulgar,
vindictive, and mean. They yelled and bitched over the phone,
and they yelled and bitched in person. A few accused Securtiy
of "suspecting criminality in everyone." They got upset.
It is hard to discuss things with victims, , ahd that's who
Securtiy usually comes in contact with. Whether they're
victims of a criminal act or victims ·O£ TESC policy
(non-synonamous) doesn't make any diffur.ence-on both
occasions they're often very difficult to explain things to.
People who just got ripped off often complain ·about the lack of
security measures, while people who run into conflict with
security policy complain about too many securtiy measures.
People complain when they can't find a book they want in the

library, hut can you imagine what would go on if people had to
be frisked upon leaving? People tend to get angry when their
automobile is ticketed or towed away from prohibited zones,
but...but what if there was a fire? What is everything burned
before a certain car could be moved? Again, there would be
some saddened, angry Evergreeners. We have to consider the
"what if" factor.

It's a trite, boring statement, but everything Securtiy does is
for the good of the community. Securtiy doesn't hold weekly
meeting to come up with new. devilish ways of annoying
students and faculty. They aren't conspiring towards a police
state and neither are they being lazy. The Security Department
on this campus merely tries to keep the campus as secure as
possible with what they have to work with.
All Securtiy asks for is understanding on the part of the
community. A lot of times it's there, but alot of times it
isn't...and it is the lack of understanding which makes it rough.
If you've done something obviously illegal (i.e. parking
violation, pet policy, etc.) don't get pissed off when we do our
job. On the other hand, please don't unjustly accuse Securtiy of
slackness, for many of the crimes which occur could be
prevented by the victims themselves. Everyone has to do their
little part. (These "little parts" are becoming trite also: locking
doors, bikes and valuables ... reporting suspicious people,
calling tOr escorts, and so on). Cooperation could solve a whole
lot of things. Cooperation and understanding. Without
cooperation and understanding we're left with frustration and
conflict.
·
We don't need any more of that.

The Securtiy Office is always open for constructive
suggestions on ways to improve service and communications.
The Evergreen community is invited and encouraged to take an
interest in the Securtiy policies and procedures. Stop by the
office or contact Rod Marrom, Gary RusseU, or Mac Smith
866-6140. It's your Securtiy, that's at stake.

ASH Inc.
by Eric L. Stone
(with thanks to OSPIRG)
PAGE 12

Here at the Evergreen ASH (Adult Student Housing) complex there are a number of new fac,ilities. A new pool table, a
hockey game, a snack bar, the "Empathy
Room" and there is even talk of a community color t.v. set. Nice. The executives of
the Adult Student Housing Inc. drive a
Cadillac and a Chrysler, pull salaries of
over $50,000 a year and work in fancy offices in a building that they own. Also
nice. All at the expense of ASH residents.
Not so nice!
In July, 1973 at the request of OSPIRG
(Oregon Student Public Interest Research
Group), HUD (the Federal Department of
Housing and Urban Development) audited
the ASH Corporation. This audit raked up
some muck in regards to that corporation.
History
[from the HUD audit)
"In 1969, Adult Student Housing of Pacific University, Inc. (ASH, PU), a nonprofit corporation, was formed to provide
a college housing project at Pacific University. The Department of Housing and
Urban Development (HUD) purchased the
$760,000 bond issue for the college housing project at Pacific University. The
bond issue was a joint obligation of Pacific
University and ASH, PU and was secured
by a pledge of the project revenues.
The principals of ASH, PU, (Messrs. F.
Bender and P. McLennan) formed two
additional nonprofit corporations to provide college housing projects to various
educational institutions. These two firms
were: Adult Student Housing of Memphis,
which had one project in Tennessee; and
Adult Student Housing Incorporated,
which had seven projects in three different states.
All three corporations were managed
by Messrs. Bender and McLennan from
one location in southwest Portland, Oregon. All the projects owned by these firms
were financed from College Housing Program funds without any cash investment
from either the principals, the firms, or
the educational institutions serviced by
the projects. As of August 31, 1972, the
three firms had over $19 million for nine
approved projects:

The principals of the the nonprofit corporations were also the principals in two

paid back within 50 years.
Originally the money was available only
to colleges. In 1965 the Act was amended
to further open up the money to, "any corporation (no part of the net earnings of
which inures to the benefit of any private
shareholder or individual) (A) established
for the sole purpose of providing housing
or other educational facilities for students
or students and faculty of one or more institutions included in clause (1) of this subsection . .. "
Adult Student Housing Inc. formed in
1969, was the first major corporation to
take advantage of this amendment. And
"take advantage" is apparently just what
they did.

other firms. One firm (AUXENT) was a
partnership of Messrs. Bender and McLennan. This firm owned the building occupied by the corporations and rented
furniture to tenants of the college housing
projects.
The other firm (La Bien, Ltd.) was a
partnership composed of Messrs. Bender,
McLennan and A. Lawson. Mister Lawson
was the president of the construction company which built the ASH, PU project. La
Bien owned an apartment complex adjacent to the PU project. Both of these firms
operated from the same Portland location
as the nonprofit ASH corporations."
ASH received its financing through the
Federal Housing Act of 1950. Title IV of
this act constitutes what is generally
known as the College Housing Act of 1950.
This act originally made available to colleges, money with which to build housing
for "students and faculties" of those colleges. This money was made available at a
special low interest rate and was to be

Raking Muck
Two Portland businessmen, Fred Bender and Phillip McLennan, are the principal
officers of ASH. They also, as the HUD
audit stated, own AUXENT Corporation
which rents ASH its offices at a price of
$1,300 a month. Prior to moving their offices into those owned by AUXENT, ASH
paid $260 a month in office rental. AUXENT showed a profit of $3,000 in 1972
thanks to the ASH rentals. That $1,300 a
month comes right out of the pockets of
ASH residents.
ASH at Pacific University was cited by
HUD for excessive rents. Rents used to finance the corporation's personal luxuries.
By law, ASH is a "nonprofit corporation".
It incurred no costs of its own in the building of its nine housing projects, the government footed the entire bill. The current costs to ASH Inc. are those of paying
back the government over a period of 50
years, maintaining and managing their
projects and paying the costs of running

their corporation.
Through high rents at PU and its other
projects, ASH meets its costs and makes
an apparent profit, though not of the traditional type. The ASH Corporation purchased for its two executive officers,
Bender and McLennan, "company cars".
One of these company cars was a $7,200
Cadillac, the other was a $7,900 Chrysler.
' Pretty fancy vehicles for a "nonprofit" cor~ poration. The HUD audit stated, "Although company vehicles may be needed,
I• we believe that current and future rev' enues from government-sponsored proj ' ects should not be used to purchase luxury
' type vehicles of this nature."
~ As owners of AUXENT Corporation
from which ASH rents its offices, Bender
and McLennan paid themselves rent
which "was excessive to the needs of the
project." The ASH rent of $1,300 per
month resulted in a profit of $3,000 for
AUXENT Corporation in 1972. ASH profits come in many colors.
A representative of HUD in Portland
;• said that Bender and McLennan's salaries
' were, "fifty to fifty-five thousand dollars"
a year each. According to the audit, the
usual fees for managing rental property
range from six to ten per cent of the rent
paid. Bender and McLennan's salaries
work out to more than the usual ten per
cent. OSPIRG claimed that, "The excessive salaries paid to Bender and
McLennan appear to violate a section of
the HUD agreement stating that ASH
'shall not ... compensate officers or employees by providing salaries, fees or compensation in excess of the current market
rate therefore'."
The agreement for the loans between
ASH and HUD includes a section which
prohibits ASH officers from holding, "any
financial interest in any contractual arrangement entered into by the borrower
in connection with ... management of the
project." Not only would this clause seem
to be violated by ASH's rental of
expensive offices from a corporation its
own officers own, but that same corporation, AUXENT, also rents out the furniture to the ASH projects at rates that
many residents feel are excessive.
Bender and McLennan are also partners
1
with A. Lawson in a corporation called La
Bien, Ltd. A. Lawson was the president of
the construction company which built the
ASH project at Pacific University (PU).
n La Bien also owns an apartment complex
adJacent to the ASH one at PU.
Recommendations
The HUD audit, after its documentation
' 1of the facts regarding the ASH Corpora-

riPAGE 1-1

tion made several recommendations.
Among those recommendations were:
"1. The Portland Area Office (of HUD)
negotiate agreements with the ASH non
p1·ofit corporation on the following four
points; a) The types of ass<>ts allowable for
purchase out of project r<>venue '! b) The
amount of rent allowable for the offices of
the nonprofit corporations? c) The
amounts of salaries of the principals of the
nonprofit corporations that are allowable'?
d) The basis and extent to which costs not
dirPctly ident ifinble to specific projects
are allowable to benefitting projects? 2.
Based on the negotiated agreements, the
ASII nonprofit corporations be required
to correct prior charges lo both operating
and developmental projects. 3. To preclude future problems in this area, the
Portland Area Office should also negotiate
with the ASH nonprofit corporations, a
management fee percentage to be used to
determine manag-ement expenses in lieu
of actual expenses. 4. Based on the downward revisions of operating expenses, the

ASH nonprofit corporations be required
to reduce rental rates accordingly."
So far nothing whatsoever has been
done by HUD to implement its own recom mendations. OSPIRG has accused HUD of
an "inexcusable delay" for failing to take
action against ASH.
In a letter dated Jan. 14, 1974, to Oregon Congresspeople from Neil Robblee
(OSPIRG staff attorney), OSPIRG made
its own recommendations as to what
should be done to re

lion. Those recommendations were:
"1. Bender and McLennan should be removed from the Board of Directors of
ASH Inc., for making these excessive payments to themselves out of student rents.
2. The Board of rnrectors should be reconstituted to gual'antee adequate student
representation. This new Board would
help assure that ASH Inc. has a strong interest in keeping rents to students down.
3. ASII Inc., should be required to open
up the management of ASII apartments to
compt•titive bidding. One management
firm told me (Rohblee) it could manage the
ASII apartments for about half of what
Bender and McLennan are now charging.
Competitive bidding would release the
stranglehold Bender and McLennan now
have on tudents. 4. On the basis of lower
manag-ement fees, HUD should order
rents at ASII apartments lowered. 5.
Bender and McLennan should be forced to
pay back the overcharges they have re- .
<-eived from ASH Inc., and the money
should be returned to the students in the
form of lower rents."
Despite HUD's inaction there are still alternatives left open for dealing with ASH.
Tenant unions are in the making and class
action lawsuits are being contemplated at
sevel'al of the ASII projects. But for the
meantime, at nonprofit ASH, the profits
keep rolling in, in their own peculiar way.
In the weeks to come, the Cooper Point
Journal will have further articles about
the ASH Corporation and 1'ts Evergreen
tuned.

Mansion Glass is cutting it
by J.C. Turner

A medieval myth may be largely responsible for the wide use of stained glass
windows in churches. Propagators of the
myth believed that as dawn's rays struck
the windows, spreading colors slowly
across the floors and over the walls, the
night's devils would be forced from the
church. Consequently, most of these windows were placed in the eastern walls,
which were the first reached by the sun
each morning.
The three young men of Mansion Glass
Company in Olympia do not make light of
the myth, but they enjoy placing their
work in walls facing west, south, and
north, as well as east, feeling that sunlight
streaming through a stained glass window
or panel has an almost mystical, purifying
effect.
Ken Hill, Tom Anderson, and Bill Hillman were originally drawn to Olympia to
study at Evergreen. Last December 1
they formed Mansion Glass as a partnership in the State of Washington with an
investment of $1,300. "Everyone says you
can't start a business with less than $5,000
but we made a profit of $50 last month.
It's not much, but it's better than being
$50 in the hole," said Anderson. He's
small, with brown hair down the back of
his neck, and with a matching mustache.
Girls think he's "cute".
Hill and Hillman live with six others in
an enormous old house on East Bay Drive,
"The Green Mansion," which gave the
firm its name. Anderson lives with his
wife in a house nearby, the basement of
which was the home of the company, until
they moved to a second floor studio on
East Fourth in downtown Olympia.
They prefer to think of their venture as
a studio, which is in keeping with their
low-key business attitude . "Pick up them
lunch boxes, we're goin' down to the company," mocked Anderson, saying that
"studio" just has a better feel to it.
Hill's hands are as steady spreading
peanut butter in a back room, as they are
rubbing linseed oil into the grain of an oak
frame on the work table, Yet of the three,
he looks least like an artist. The forearms
are thick, and he looks big enough to be
swinging an ax or a sledge. He studied
architecture at Seattle Community Colleg~ and is now a student at TESC.

Hillman will graduate from Evergreen
in a few weeks. He says that while each of
the three has a different background and
personality, any one can do any phase of
the work, from designing and planning a
piece to executing it in glass and lead. One
of the three usually is in charge of a project, but all work on it. Hillman is now preparing a hemispherical shade for an
antique brass standing lamp. While Hill's
humor is subtle, a glint or sparkle of the
eyes, Hillman laughs openly. He is excited
at explaining techniques and materials to
visitors. He explains opalescence in glass
by h_olding a sheet up to a light bulb, pointing out how the light shows through as
gold-pink. Opalescent glass is made by a
chemical process. Normal stained glass
tints the bulb the color of the sheet.
The glass is purchased from clearing
houses in San Francisco or New York, the
lead is from Seattle. American glass is
made by pouring dye-containing glass into
sheets, then rolling it to a uniform thickness. A sheet of 20 square feet costs $30.
German glass is blown round, then flattened, leaving ripples in the sheets. It
costs twice as much as American glass,

varies in color from sheet to sheet, and the
thickness varies in a single sheet. It is
known as antique glass, the term referring to the method of manufacture.
Mansion Glass holds classes in stained
glass work, starting students on small
projects which don't require that the fin ished product is perfectly squared, the
hardest challenge for a beginner. Students finish the course by making a small
panel, a piece which requires them to do
every aspect of stained glass work:
cutting, leading, soldering, grouting and
of course design, which includes color selection.
The firm makes some money by selling
supplies of glass and lead, by doing repair
work of leaded glass in older buildings and
homes, and by selling pieces on display in
their shop, but they feel that success is dependent upon their becoming known to
architects and interior designers. Someone building or decorating a home or office
may be interested in buying a stained
glass panel or lamp, but will usually ask
the architect or designer to suggest an
artist. The architect will then ask one or
more firms to submit designs. The three
feel that their work sells itself, that the
more their work is displayed in homes and
offices, the more people will see it, and
want it for themselves.
They use no standard designs, so each
piece is original, signed and dated. They
are hoping to produce some pieces that
will be low enough in price to be within
anyone's reach. The cost of materials is
the biggest obstacle to this goal.
Scornful of the "secret guarding" attitude of other artisans, the three partners
express their desire to remain open to
their community. Anyone can wander
through the shop's many small rooms, and
watch them work on projects. As for new
techniques in a field which dates back several hundred years, Hillman says they are
trying to put together a technique of acidetching silk-screen designs onto glass.
When asked if the work ever bores him,
Anderson says it's impossible. "Each piece
is different, a new challenge. And when
the sun comes shining through a finished
panel, aaahh!" He throws his arms out to
embrace the light coming in the windows,
which are filled with different shaped,
different colored panels.

Computers wielding
palettes
by Rick Speer

The mention of the term 'computer art'
commonly evokes one of two reactions
from art people - they either wince and
make a comment about the increasing dehumanization of art or they hail it as a welcome development in the movement to
bridge the gap between art and technology. One thing no one quarrels with is the
fact that computer-generated graphics are
making increasing inroads into areas once
accessible only to serious artists.
One reason is that computers are making possible effects that were previously
exceedingly tedious or impossible for
humans to execute. Another is that the
use of computer graphics is so new that'
it's very simple to create an effect that's
never been seen before - an important
consideration to the commercial artist.
But what do we mean by 'computer art'?
The field of computer graphics is a broad
one, including pattern recognition by computers, the technology of display equipment (machines that draw pictures by
computer programs), and image processing (i.e. operations by computer on data
from pictures). For this article I take the
term computer art to simply mean 'the
production of aesthetic material via computer'.
Two methods are most commonly used.
One is to make 'hard-copy' (graphics on
paper) by computer control of an x-y plotter, a device that moves a pen by computer programs. The other is to program
images for display on a cathode-ray tube,
a device similar to a small television. Frequently these latter images are intended
for recording on film.
But if the graphics are produced by
computer programs, what is the role of
the artist? Perhaps the best answer is one
I got from a film -maker who had worked
with computers. He said he treats the
computer as a 'black box' - he didn't
know how it operated and didn't care. But
he worked with the programmer and directed him in a search for computer-produced images to match mental images he
PAGE 16

Rick Speer at work on TESC's Analog Computer

wanted to film. The artist's role was then
that of an editor, picking among the many
variations for those he felt most effective.
Besides purely abstract images, some
computer graphics involve manipulation
of recognizable objects or words or titles
- figurative graphics. The role of the artists working in this area has typically
been to, again, choose the most effective
manipulations from many possible variations. But the artist in this whole field is
not restricted to just a semi-passive selective role. In many cases, the dissatisfaction of the artist with the images will lead
to explorations of a new type or class of
images.
Thus the most productive situations are
often collaborations between programmers and professional artists. Bell Telephone Labs and IBM both have artists-inresidence (both of whom will be here at
Evergreen for the Computer Film Festival). But the number of first-rate artists
with steady access to a computer installation is small - at most a dozen in this
country. This situation can be expected to
change, however, as computer literacy increases and the proliferation of 'minicom-

puters' continues (pocket calculators are
the earliest signs of this latter).
But what can be the advantage in going
to all the trouble to program a computer
to draw pictures? One reason is that the
computer is capable of drawing 10,000 to
100,000 points or lines per second, with
accuracy in the hundredths of inches. Another is that the computer can follow complicated equations and display the results
of these operations on objects. While this
is of primary use to the scientist, these
same operations are often aesthetically
appealing. A final one is that the computer
allows systematic exploration of a class of
related operations, because of its programability and because it doesn't get
tired. These features coupled with the decreasing costs of computer time make art
by computer increasingly worth the extra effort.
What does the future hold? It has been
suggested that the computer be used to
display the actual subconscious state of
the artist, through brain-wave electroencephalograph-type monitoring (though on
a much more sophisticated level). Already
the latest Newsweek reports an experi-

mental system developed which produces
mental images for blind persons by direct
stimulation of the visual cortex of the
brain. This in principle suggests the possibility of people 'plugging in' to a mental
movie.
One famous film-maker has predicted a
above that tomorrow's master artists will
be those with merely the free-est imaginations, due to computerized display of their
thoughts through a device he whimsically
termed an "autocerebroscope".
One thing we know for sure. As one of
the country's leading computer artists
(himself a professor of art) put it - "I
think artists are going to be influenced by
science in one way or another and I think
that this is going to force some new definition of art. This is inevitable."
(The First Annual International Computer Film Festival will be held at Evergreen March 7-9. Four of the five invited
speakers are either professional artists or
Masters of Fine Arts. For further information, contact Rick Speer at Computer
Services, 866-6232.)

Nepal program organizing
by Judy Annis

The chance to explore and study the
complexities of Nepal, to learn its
language and develop expertise in any one
of several academic areas is being offered
to 30 advanced students by Evergreen's
climbing professors- Willi Unsoeld, 1963
conqueror of Mt. Everest, and David
Peterson, M.D., participant in the
successful1973 climb of Mt. Dhaulagiri.
The two prvfessors and Kathleen
Peterson, a graduate student in Tibetan
Buddhistology at the University of
Washington, have designed a six-quarter
Evergreen group contract which provides
for two quarters of intensive on-campus
preparation and four quarters of living
and studying in the . mountains Asian
country which borders India, Tibet,

Sikkim and West Bengal.
Unsoeld, who spent more than five
years in Nepal working with the Agency
for International Development and the
Peace Corps, in successive appointments,
describes Nepal as "one of the more
evolving and geopolitically central of the
Third World Nations." It offers, he says,
"a unique opportunity for developing
cross-cultural bridges between many
hpman areas of concern which have
traditionally separated East from West ...
areas as diverse as ethnomusicology and
political science, philosophy and economics, linguistics and family planning."
Students who enroll in the program will
not only be able to develop, refine and
expand their skills, Unsoeld adds, "but
will also broaden awareness of the

Energy symposium
-at
An all day public symposium on Energy
Awareness, which will draw representatives from oil companies, gasoline
stations, consumer interest groups, politicians and feqeral and state agencies, will
be held at Evergreen Friday, March 1
from 8:30 to 5 p.m.
Organized by recent Evergreen graduate Tom Sampson, the symposium will
seek to improve public comprehension of
the issues involved in the current energy
crisis and to achieve "far broader
participation in determining new directions and committments for public policy,"
said Sampson.
Sampson, a staff member of the State
Department of Emergency Services, said
the opening presentation will begin at 9
a.m. with a talk on "Is There Really an
Energy Crisis," by Jack Robertson,
director of the Regional Federal Energy
Office. A panel discussion on "Energy and
the Consumer-the New Ethic," will be
presented from 10 a.m. to noon. Panel
members mclude W. P. Slick, senior vice
president of Exxon; W. P. Woods,
chairman of the Board of Washington
Natural Gas; Ken Billington, executive
director of Washington Public Utility
District's Association; State Senator Nat

Emory Bundy, public affairs director for
KING Television, will serve as panel
moderator.
Faculty member David Barry will
present a luncheon address in CAB 110 on
"Is There a Need for Change of Lifestyle
in Washington State?." His talk will be
followed by a panel discussion on "Oil on

necessary interdependence of the world's
people."
Aiming the program at advanced
Evergreeners, Peterson says he and his
two colleagues will work with students
half time next Winter and Spring
Quarters (1975), concentrating on Nepal
studies. Students will spend the remainder of the time for those two quarters
developing skills in particular subject
areas, such as economics, music, or
philosophy. The group will leave for Nepal
in July of 1975 and spend two months
during the monsoon season in intensive
· language study-with native instructors.
During the remaining three quarters,
students will complete their own individual projects and travel throughout the
55, 362-square mile nation which lies
almost entirely within the Himalayan
mountains and is home to more than
eleven million Asians. Students will be
registered both at Evergreen and at
Tribhuvan University as "casual students"
throughout the last three quarters of
their stay, and they will be expected to
attend appropriate lectures and courses at
the university as well as completing a
thesis in their subject area.
David and Kathleen Peterson will
accompany students on the trip. Both
have traveled to Nepal twice within the
last three years. Kathleen is skilled in
Tibetan and Sanskirt languages and is
studying Buddhist Iconography at the
University. David, who is also a general
practioner, will administer the six-quarter
program-and help keep everyone else
healthy. "You have to assume that
everything in Nepal is contaminated," he
says. "That way you'll only be sick 25 per
cent of the time ."
David and Kathleen hope to establish a
"home base" for students in the
Kathmandu Valley where "the worn-out,
tired, sick and scared" can come and
breathe a sigh of relief between travels in
the independent kingdom which, as
Unsoeld says, "offers spectacular scenery
-palaces and pagodas, tigers and
rhinoceroses, rice-clad valleys, dense
swampy jungles and 13 of the highest 16
mountains in the world."
Students interested in enrolling in the
unique 20-credit program are invited to
attend informational meetings in Lecture
Hall3 March 5 from 7 to 9 p.m. and March
6 from 2 to 4 p.m. A question and answer
session will also be held March 12 from 7
to 9 p.m. in Lecture Ha113.

Summer program planning
by Kevin Hogan
A tentative course offering for summer
quarter '74 has been announced by academic Dean Byron Youtz. The focus of
many of the curricular offerings will be
centered around "The Northwest". Included in the tentative offerings are three
coordinated studies programs, 16 group
contracts, and approximately 15 faculty
assigned to cover individual contracts.
An enrollment of 700 students is expected, and recruitment efforts are being
made to bring in students from outside the
Evergreen community.
The summer program will feature a
number of programs of varying lengths
ranging from five and a half weeks to a full
ten weeks, so a student may earn two,
three or four credits.
All summer term programs will begin
on June 24, 1974. Registration will be
from May 1 to June 3, and tuition and fees
must be paid no later than June 14. Financial Aid and work study opportunities will
be available on a limited basis. Persons in
need of financial aid should get in touch
with Les Eldridge at the financial aid
office as soon as possible.
The following is a listing of the tentative
course offerings for summer term '74; for
more information, contact the faculty
member listed:
Coordinated studies
The Immigrant in America-Dave Marr
and Norman Jacobsen, visiting prof. U.C.
Berkeley
Outdoor Ecology of Washington-Oscar
Soule and Mark Papworth, visiting
Ecologist
Native American Studies-Mary Hilliaire
and Mary Nelson
Group contracts:
Ecology & Chemistry of Pollution- Bueg
and Herman
Marine Ecology of Puget Sound-Milne
History of the West Revisited-Gribscov
Experimental Structures-Harding
Drawing from the Landscape-Frasca and
visiting Artist
Calligraphy; The Dance of the Pen-Tim
Girvin
Ceramics and Sculpture-Visiting Artist
Traditions of Musical Improvistaton: East
and West
Theater, Cinema and Television-Beck
Education and the Community-Aldridge
New Directions in Counseling-Stepherson
Dance and Theater in New York
City-Johnson
Revolutionary Voices from the 3rd
World-Nisbet

Personal Ethics in the Absence of
Authority-Sinclair & Humphrey
Psychology, Literature and Dream Reflection-Jones
Individual Contracts:
Approximately 15 faculty will be assigned
to cover individual contracts, covering a
wide variety of subjects. Individual
contracts available for 1 to 4 credits.
The above program offerings are
tentative, and at this stage of the planning

student feedback and input is needed. For
those interested, Dean youtz and members of the Summer planning DTF will
meet with students to discuss the
curriculum, Tuesday, February 26 at 4
p.m. in CAB 110. Refreshments will be
available. A list of the members of the
DTF is posted at the information center
and outside the Journal office. Any
recommendations should be directed to
these people or submitted in writing to
Dean Youtz's office.

Another press
conference
by Tom Graham
Even before the last "Get The Deans"
issue of the CPJ was out, the press
conference had changed its tune. A looser
lunch and get together format developed
with the Deans, Kormondy and McCann
answering questions from the floor.
"We've got some very unresponsive
heads to open in the Senate, and not very
McCann
much time to do it m,
commented. During the legislative break
our favorite college president will be busy
seeing that the Affirmative Action Plan is
completed, and COG II is well under way.
McCann would like to see a campus wide
vvte on the COG document before it is
submitted to the Board of Trustees.
McCann will be back on the hill lobbying
soon. As he said, "The point is that no
matter what our chances are in April
we've got to be in there fighting like hell.
Because if we're not, they'll think we're
not all that serious about it, and we're
serious."

Dean Teske explained that there will be
a change in next year's bulletin supplement to co~pensate for this year's major
hassle. "One of the interesting thmgs
about this supplement that you'll see for
next year, it's going to be more confusing
than before, and more flexible. We've
gotten into this bag before of assuming
co-ordinated study programs had to be a
year long, and group contracts had to be a
year long, and then obviously if a faculty
member were in individual contracts that
had to be a year, and you couldn't switch
because there was nothing to switch into,
and you had to stay where you were even
though it might no longer make sense,
because there was no place to go."
The dean's are looking to co-ordinated

study programs lasting less than a year,
to insure that each quarter there will be
new programs. A contract pool wil1 be
created instead of individual and group
contracts. The faculty of the contract pool
will be able to move from individual to
group contracts or programs. Group
Contracts will be listed in the supplement
by title with a listing of the names and
interests of the faculty, instead of a
description. The college will also be
making some serious steps toward
involving adult community members as
students getting credit for work done
away from the college.
"The best dog-gone summer school west
of Harvard," was promised by Byron
Youtz. Youtz also came to the conferenC('
armed with a grant application to the
National Science Foundation worth a
potential million dollars, which he used to
needle Teske. Teske's efforts with the
National Endowment for the Hunamities
haven't reached the grant application
stage. Teske, however, did speak
optimistically of his chances of lining up
some grant funds during his current trip
to the east coast.
The old-same place, or the Communications Building was a major topic of
discussion. The Administration explained
one more time that the building would be
used extensively, that it would have a four
hundred person theater, but no auditorium, and that state fiscal procedure
meant that building funds would not come
from funds for use in the Library or other
budgetary units. Funding is the only
question unanswered about the Communications Building, and if we don't get it this
year, we'll try next year.

TKO on the chessboard

by Eric L. Stone

One envisions a professional chess
player, who isn't Bobby Fisher, as sort of
a plump, swarthy type or tall, lanky,
greying and balding. A professional chess
player doesn't seem like the type that
would be young, stylish and wearing a
wry smile.
Grant Vance is a professional chess
player. He was wearing a blue coat, a loud
red tie, fancy striped/bright colored
pants, sandals and yellow socks. He didn't
look much like a professional chess player.
He was dressed much to tackily. He
seemed sort of a circus chess player and I
suppose that is what he was. On Tuesday
Feb. 19 in the main lobby of the
Evergreen Library he played chess
against eight players and one other player
who was a lackey for a computer, all at the
same time.
One of the people who showed up to
play chess was myself. Before too much
suspense builds I will own up to the fact
that I lost. In a sense, dinner won out over
me, because I retired early to dine. I
don't look like a chess player either. I was
dressed in blue jeans, a predominately
brown cowboy shirt and my breath reeked
of bourbon and lucky strikes.
Before the games began, Vance gave a
short lecture on the state of the world of
chess at the moment. Apparently the
playoffs to see who gets to battle Bobby
Fisher next are underway. The Russians
seem to have it. Next to Boris Spasskey

Bolsheviks have in some young upstart.
called, Karpov. "Karpov is interesting."
said Grant Vance.
The computer lackey got to play white
against the chess pro. The rest of us
played black, giving Vance the first move.
His first move varied from game to
game. Against me he used P-Q4, which is
chess notation for moving the pawn from
in front of his queen, two spaces. It was
strange playing someone who kept
around the room. One of the best

parts of playing chess is the mental, and
even visual battle between you and your
opponent. In a match like the one
Tuesday, it is impossible to watch your
opponent think.
The computer was the first of us to give
up the ghost. Apparently it had something
added to its program at too last moment,
something which at one point caused it to
take one of its own pieces. Even Bobby
Fisher can't get away with that.
At one point there was a crowd of
onlookes numbering about 30. After a
while the onlookers started to drift away
though. If I was Susan Christian (a
notorious art columnist for this paper who
is on vacation) I might say that they were
bored-board, get it? She would probably
have phrased it better though.
In a game of chess, the Pawns are the
lowliest creatures on the board, next to
the King who in a sense is even lowlier.
When my stomach gave up the ghost and
declared itself hungry, when my paper
cup no longer runneth over with bourbon,
when I had naught but Pawns and my
King left to defend my honor, I gave up
the fight. Having met with conquest at the
chess table, I went to Eagans and
conquered a burger, fries and a shake.
How many challengers Vance vanquished, I don't know. I didn't stick
around long enough to find out. Suffice it
to say that he was a good circus chess pro
and I think that he beat most everyone.

Book review

'The Boy's on the Bus"
by L.Y. Kono

"If, as I do, you love reporters one day
and despair of them the next, you will love
this boo/c. But everyone who reads it will
learn much that is valuable and fascinating about politics, psychology, and the
press. " -- Senator George McGovern
comments on "The Boys on the Bus. "
During lhe 1!:172 Presidential Campaign,
Timothy Crouse, of the counter-culture
rag, Rolling Stone, followed the nation's
top journalists as they reported on the
candidates. His original intent was to
write an article for the Rolling Stone on
their work and experiences, along the way
il blossomed into this book, The Boys on
the Bus.
Crouse, with Hunter S. Thompson
(notorious "gonzo" journalist), sloshed and
slashed their way through the fog of
mystery that surrounds the 'big-leaguers'
of politics. In his book, Crouse attempts to
explain or interpret what he had "seen"
during the months on the trail.
Crouse wrote about the kinds of
problems that the journalists faced during
the campaign. Such as . he difficulty that
White House reporters encountered
trying to get access to the President.; the
tactics used by the White House to
harass the press, preventing them from
doing their jobs; and the effect of this
harassment on the spirit of the press
corps. He also wrote of Nixon's maneuvering of the press to further his own cause.
He wrote how the coverage of the
McGovern campaign differed greatly from
that of evil Dick, the reporters having
more access to McGovern. He tells of how
the reporters, who privately favored
McGovern, in their own strange way
turned their faces on his glaring faults and
ignored them. He theorized, that if they
had been tougher on him, McGovern
would have taken a closer look at his
policies and maybe worked out the kinks.
One section of the book is dedicated to
character sketches of the major journalists. He discusses the papers they work
for, and their influence on the reporting.
He writes of editors that dectde what's
"happening" in the news.
Crouse attempts to make deep dives or
theories into the motives and the reasons
behind the people wl-0 work at this
seemingly insane profession.

Television coverage of the campaign is
also discussed in the book. Crouse shows
how rival networks set up different ways
to cover the events that happened. He
tells of the infighting that occurred
throughout the months among the
reporters. A case in point, is that of the
CBS network which had problems with
their reporters claiming that Walter
Cronkite was "hogging air time", and
preventing them from entering their
accounts of what was happening. The
jumping of reporters from one news
service to another competing service was
the result of much of this.
Crouse attempts to put across the point
that national politics reporting must
change because the people really aren't
getting the news that is required to make
decisions.
As a person who writes for the Journal,
I am greatly concerned that the people
attempting to do things that involve the
general public know something about how
journalism works in order to help the
operations run smoother.

"American Graffiti
by Eric L. Stone
American Graffiti is currently playing
at the Olympic Theatre in Olympia. It is a
movie about 1962 in the Central Valley of
California, although that will probably not
be news to most of our readers.
Nuclear war was all the rage in 1962.
The Cuban Missile Crisis took place and
everyone who was anyone was installing a
bomb shelter. Civil Rights marchers were
being beaten and shot at in the south. And
even in the Central Valley that American
Graffiti is about, the initial rumblings of
the Farmworkers Union were under way.
Despite all the cruising for burgers and
bopping to the sounds that took place,
1962 was a serious kind of year. The
United States spent 1962 out "cruisin' for
a bruisin"'.
American Graffiti is a good movie. It's
amusing, even funny and a good movie to
be drunk or whatever for. It has one
unbelievably awful shortcoming however,
it totally ignores what was going on in the
world at the time. The end of the movie

,,

has its moment of social commentary in
which it tells the audience of the fortunes
and mis-fortunes of some of its characters
in the world that awaited them after 1962.
The movie seems to portray the lives of
its characters as if in an interlude,
unaffected by the world at large. What
person, old enough to think in 1962,
wasn't affected by the threat of nuclear
holocaust? Even at the malt shop, my
friends, who were teenagers then, used to
worry over the Russians while sharing
double chocolate sodas.
Despite its social shortcomings, the
movie has a lot of things which are still
recognizable. It's almost kind of sad
comparing the games, romances and
pasttimes of then, to those of now, and
finding that they haven't changed much at
all. American Graffiti is a grand movie to
see bits and pieces of yourself and your
friends in, but it's not such a grand movie
for garnering any idea of what most of
1962 was all about.
