LETTERS to the EDITOR
Editorial
feedback
To the Editor:
I felt that your February 22 editorial,
"Evergreen Affirming What?" presented
a superficial view of the most important
issue facing this college. I am especially
disturbed by your labeling of people who
are concerned about Affirmative Action as
"lobbying" and "special interest" groups.
A vigorous affirmative action program is
in the best interests of the entire college.
We need many more well qualified women
and non-white students, faculty, staff and
administrators if we are going to provide
significant alternatives in higher education.
I cannot believe that any of these
groups advocate the position that "qualifications such as education and experience
(should] become of secondary importance
to the goals of filling quotas." Surely that
would mean advocating a form of
tokenism.
I do believe that members of these
groups are insisting that we carefully
examine what we mean by "qualifications
such as educatioin and experience." Do we
PAGE4

have a white, male bias that colors what
we mean'! Do women and non-white
candidates offer qualifications that have
not been sufficiently recognized?
The real issue is that we have not been
sufficiently vigorous in implementing our To the Editor:
Affirmative Action Program. It is not An Open Letter to the Deans;
Until very recently I accepted the
enough to put out a welcome mat; we have
to actively recruit. Hence the need for notion that in order to receive college
groups of concerned people to goad us into credit one must pay for it. In other words
one must buy ones degree.
fuller consciousness and action.
If a student takes full advantage of the
Sid White facilities offered by Evergreen then they
are getting more that just credit. They're
paying for campus services and the money
is well worth it.
The difficulty arises with internships
To the Editor:
In reference to last week's editorial which take the student away from campus
(bah!) against special interest groups: 1) It fl)r the majority of the quarter. The issues
is an insult to Helen Whippier Wheeler; 2) at stake are; should a student pay for
there are false parallels drawn b~~ween services which are not available to them,
corporate lobbyists and civil rights and is buying credit a moral policy?
Evergreen's commitment to recognizing
"lobbyists".
If having an interest in seeing a that education occurs in different places
.fifty -fifty male/female teacher ratio is and in different ways is fantastic. The
"special", so be it. I would espe~lly not unfortunate thing is that there are many,
like to see Evergreen be a white male many students who decline taking
dominated institution. That means more internships or even school sponsored
expeditions because they cannot justify
Affirmative Action.
paying tuition and not taking advantage of
school
facilities.
Sheila DinwidiJie

Deans

It seems there are ways to solve the
inequities, by adjusting tuitions to match
services received by people on internship.
Before closing I would like to point out
the difference between having resources ·
available without using them and the
distant internship situation in which the
resources are not available.
Carl Brownstein

Turner not 'cute'
To the Editor:
Dear Mr./Ms. Turner:
I would appreciate an explanation of the
following phrases, which appeared in your
article in the February 22 issue of the
CPJ:
"He's small, with brown hair down
the back of his neck, and with a
matching mustache. Girls think he's
'cute'."

Included in your justification should be
answers to the following questions:
What does a physical description
of Mr. Anderson have to do with the
nature of the article, "Mansion
Glass is cutting it"?
What do you mean by "girls"?
Which "girls" did you talk to in
arriving at your conclusion about
the "cuteness" of Mr. Anderson?
What is "cute" and who defined
it'?
I would appreciate a written response,
public if necessary, to this letter. Thank
you for your attention.
Chris Meserve

Defense
Dear Mr./Ms. Meserve:
I would feel very restricted if I were
limited to the terms "man" and "woman"
though I assume you would approve oi
their use. As a writer I resent being limed to one or two terms. I used "girls" as
it is defined by Webster's Seventh New
Collegiate Dictionary: "a young, unmarried woman; a single or unmarried
woman of any age. "
A physical description of Mr. Anderson
(and Mr. Hillman and Mr. Hill) has everything to do with the article in question. By
the precepts of New Journalism, prose
(fi:ction and non-fiction) or just about
any other modern writing, a physical de-

scription of a character is essential to give
the reader a picture of the person. This is
an attempt to ''flesh out" the story for the
reader, the lack of which is a frequent crit·
icism of older writing styles.
The girls I quoted regarding Mr. Anderson's "cuteness" are both Evergreen students. One is 18 and one is 21. The full
quote is "Oh, Tom Anderson? He's so
cute. "As to a definition of the word "cute"
Webster's says, "attractive or pretty especially by reason of daintiness or delicacy, " but it's not really my word, it's a
quote.
I welcome criticism, but if you really
want to understand what it's like to be a
journalist, why not join our staff?
Mr. J. C. Turner

'... got a full tank'
To the Editor:
Whether the apparent energy situation
has firm basis in reality, or if it is a rabbit
pulled out of the oil industries' conglomerate hat remains yet to be seen. But
. there was a communications crisis, no one
: had any thing to talk about with everyone
else, except the weather.
Now no matter where you are or who
you meet its simple to strike up a
conversation. Just say (modestly of
course) 'I waited in line two hours this
morning for gas and the damned station
never opened'.. . You've been through a
herculean ordeal of suffering and
disappointment, and unless the other
person does not drive a car he or she will
'immediately express an empathy you
would have never expected before from a
complete stranger.
The national neurotic disease association's latest survey has shown that since
the energy crisis began shyness has
dropped among all age groups in the
United States by 860A>. Drinking in bars
fui.s gotten less expensive for some of us
because of ecstatic businessmen coming in
sh,outing, "I got a full tank" and buying
everyone a drink. Even religious
differences seem to slide away as we all
become manic depressants. Experiencing
the depths of the inferno as our guages
n~ar empty and petroleum greased satoris
after a fill up.

Great neuter
horde
To the Editor:
In response to Teddy N. Haggarty
(Great Neuter Horde), let me say this
about that-untrue! Evergreen is a
veritable breeding ground for perversion
and sexual discontent. Why, just the
other day I was fondled while standing in
the greasy spoon line in the CAB by a
woman I hadn't been properly introduced
to! Neuter Horde? Hardly. Let us just say
that our collective sexual potentials are as
yet unrealized.
What we need is another DTF on the
subject, another Grope Contract in sexual
therapy, so that horniness will no longer
manifest itself only in tension/frustration
just beneath the surface, but rather come
to full flower as a meaningful political
force here in the Land of Nod.
In the words of a famous DJ in old New
Orleans, "If ya caint touch it, it aint no
good toya."
Rob Wood

To the Editor:
Actually, there's lots of sex at Evergreen-you just have to know what rock
to look under.

Editorial
Editorial rebutted
Affirmative Action is probably the most important issue
facing the Evergreen State College today. It will determine
wht•ther Evergreen will bow under to the idiotic and self-defeating traditions of the past or will be allowed to grow and
I'Xpand as a rational and free educational institution.
In last week's Editorial a comparison was made between spet•ial interest lobbying groups and those groups at Evergreen
"lohhying" for the employment of Affirmative Action hiring
pra<·tiees in certain instances. Usually, the Editorial is supported hy at least a majority of the staff, this was not the case
with "(<~vergreen: affirming what'!" It was an oversight that
caused at least the initials of its author to be left off of the Editorial. Initials usually indicate a minority position.
Affirmative Action in no way would undermine the
l'lhJ<·ational quality of Evergreen. On the contrary, without the
implementation of a strong Affirmative Action Policy, Evergreen would slip into the mire of "second class institutions" that
the Editorial made reference to.
Thl• Editorial elaimed that in certain instances, "hiring preferen<'l' is heing given along the lines of what type of quota a
person <·an fill. rather than what type of academic void they can
fill." What greater academic void is there than the unrealisti-

eally low pl'rcl'nta!{£' of women and non -whites in administrative and faculty positions on this and most other college campuses'!
The I<~ditorial further claimed that the Affirmative Action
l'olil'Y was intended to he used to judge between candidates,
"when all other qualifications are equal." In this society, be('IIUSl' of its social, political and economic structure it is rare indeed to find a woman or non -white with qualifications that are
e<Jual to those of a white male. Recause of the structure of this
society it is rare to find a woman or a non-white with the opportunity to gain the experience and / or qualifications that a white
male would have.
It is time that the criteria for hiring people should include a
dose look at their potential, amongst other qualifications. It is
policies such as the Affirmative Action Poliey which will help to
fill thl' inexcusable void in hiring practices.
The risk of Evergreen hecoming a second class institution
due to its Affirmative Action Policy is so minor as to be laughahl£'. The risk of its h£>ing a seeond class institution without it,
is hardly so mUl·h a risk as a certainty.

Thinking like I.think
Having been recently accused of "thinking like a man" I have given a great deal of
thought to attitudes and those who hold
them. The implications of such a statement are twofold: it suggests that (in the
context it was given) all men think the
wrong way, and secondly, it impiies that
the speaker has set limitations on how
men and women are supposed to think.
I used to think, until this accusation,
that I thought like Jill. Being an individual
came first, then came female, white, 19
year old, Washington resident (in any
order) and all the other things that I am.
But being Jill definitely came first.
The idea that all men think the same
way, that all whites think the same way,
or that all Evergreeners think the same
PAGF R

way is ridiculous. Groupthink, thinking
like the organization wants you to think, is
far too close to 1984 for comfort. Groups
that get into labeling people's thoughts
are asking for trouble.
It weakens my faith in the Women's
movement when they start labeling attitudes as masculine or feminine, just as my
respect lessens for those minority organizations who feel all whites are racisf:~ ~t is
these kinds of attitudes that we shoJlf(l be
getting away from. Nothing is abs&llte,
and we should know that by no
tainly there are males that are se
whites that are bigoted, bu.t there
those that aren't.
It also seems an easy way out to label
someone as a sexist, racist or whatever.
Why not tell someone that you think his or

her iaea is irrational, inhumane, and ridiculous instead of throwing a label at them?
Just as we are trying to get away from
traditional roles in society shouldn't we let
people think untraditionally? Why can't a
white hold a "black" attitude or a male a
"female" attitude?
I hope this is not construed as a female
defense of male thought. There are just as
many male jerks and empty heads as
there are female. The same goes for
whites and non-whites.
What I am defending is the right to
think any way I damn well please. I still
think the individual is important, maybe
even more importa11t than any organization. It's too easy to forget the individual
these days and that is really a shame.

TESC Faculty propose
unity for

louder voice

by Dana L. CampbeU
The crusading cause of 'student input' in
administrative decisions has recently been
joined by a group of faculty who now propose a Faculty Forum to air their opinions
and feelings about decisions that will
affect the community in general and the
faculty in particular.
In a document announcing the formation of a Faculty Forum, co-authore~ by
David Marr and Sid White, the reasons
and intentions of the group are carefully
outlined_ In the introduction, they state
that "Over the past three and one-half
years there has been no effective means
for the faculty to see itself (and be seen) as
a faculty and to express its voice as a faculty. This condition has created a faculty
composed of individuals and small groups
who are isolated from each other." They
propose this Forum to be an outlet
through which the faculty as a whole can
be heard.
The Forum also hopes to stop what it
terms as "a drift toward academic bureaucratization" and the resulting "lack of locatability and accountability of both administrators and faculty." They feel that•
the action to form such a Forum will be in
keeping with the spirit of the COG document.
According to the document, it is felt
that personal diplomacy politics have been
fostered by the lack of group representation and that the decision-making process
has been left almost totally to administrators, with minor adjustments to individual
faculty wishes. It is felt that this is partially the fault of the faculty, whether
because of overwork, apathy, or tunnel

The document also includes a list of important decisions that have been made
this year without any faculty-wide deliberation, and which faculty feel they should

ESSENTIA and P.O.I.S.E. in the curriculum for next year; decisions involving specialized programs and facilities (including
the Communications Building, which few
faculty feel informed about); the recent
decision to remove material from faculty
personnel files, which many faculty feel is
a departure from the principle of "complete, cumulative, open files"; the academic probation and suspension policies
that have been established without faculty-wide deliberation; and the changes in
the Governance and Affirmative Action
policies and procedures which have not received wide discussion within the faculty
or between faculty and administration.
The Faculty Forum is not claiming any
official responsibility or power in decisionmaking; it only wants to serve to foster
"effective faculty participation in the decision-making process".
It is also pointed out that the Forum
doesn't intend to divide the community
into "mutually exclusive and antagonistic
groups", but rather hopes to exist to aid
the entire decision-making process.
Each meeting of the Forum will follow a
previously announced agenda (items for
this to be submitted to the Chairperson 48
hours in advance) which will include presentations by invited guests such as administrators, DTF Chairpersons, students, staff and other individuals with information or counsel to offer. Following
the discussion of agenda items, the "sense
of the meeting" will be recorded through
votes. Minutes of each meeting will be
kept and reports of the Forum's actions
will be publicized through the CPJ and the
campus Newsletter.
The first meeting of the Faculty Forum
is scheduled for Wednesday, March 6, at 3
p.m. in CAB 110. Students and anyone
else interested in attending are welcome
but participation will be limited to faculty
and others invited by the Chairperson
(Acting Chairperson being, at this point,
David Marr).

For some reason or anot:ter, which at
this time is still unknown, I had this weird
idea of what a computer was. To me, the
Evergreen computer was this huge wall to
wall thing located heaven-only-knowswhere on campus. I'd always thought of it
as something similar to the computers in
shows like Star Trek or in movies like
2001: Space Odyssey. I didn't really expect the computer to talk to me, but I did
envision this huge thing with panel lights
flashing and beeps emitting from it.
I can't quite recall what I did first when
I got this assignment. I remember feeling
about a million miles higher. It got, or
rather gave me something to do that was
interesting. Before, I was attending the
non -white coalition meetings which, by
the way, are about as exciting as watching
P.-\GF 10

a Jerry Lewis movie.
I do remember walking down to Computer Services on the first floor of the library building; talking to Betty, the secretary, and showing her my social secur•
ity card so I could obtain from her a number that would, if I typed it into the terminal, give me access to the computer. The
terminals are the machines that resemble
typewriters only they're slightly deformed. In computer lingo, these are
called "ports" and are sort of like telephone lines to the computer. Only pn
. these you type your message out and it's
transferred to the computer.
The computer is located in the basement of the Library. My first impression
was that it reminded me of an overly large
filing cabinet. What this thing does, is

take the message from the terminals and
transfer it into a language that the computer understands. All this info is then
stored in a little machine next to it that reminded me of one of those machines you
see in a bowling alley that will wash your
ball for a small fee. Well, you can't wash
your ball here but it does store your info
on little discs that look like records. There
is this little arm that extends over the
thing, through which info passes and is
stored.
It seems that a problem has arisen in
the area, though. The computer here at
Evergreen can be used free of charge,
unlike at other colleges and universities,
therefore, almost anybody can use the
thing. What has happened is that a

The effects of DES
on Vagiilal Cancer
by Joyce Kilmer (of the Women's Clinic)
DES has had a lot of publicity recently
as it was/is used in the cattle and sheep
industries. 'After finding dangerous concentrations of DES in the meat of these
animals, the FDA banned it, for animals,
at the end of last year. This is currently
being contested by the DES manufacturers.
DES is also well known for its use in one
oftheMorning-AfterPills, (MAP). So far,
there is no evidence of cancer caused by
the MAP, however, many women and doctors are questioning its use. This article
pertains to DES as it was used during
pregnancy to prevent miscarriage.
In recent years, there has been a siJnificant number of cases of vaginal and cervical cancer in young women. Usually, it
has been possible to link this with intrauterine exposure to DES (diethylstilbestrol) or similar drugs. From 1945, until it
was banned by the FDA for use in pregnancy in 1971, DES, a synthetic estrogen,
was often prescribed in this country to
women who had probiems with miscarriage. Women took relatively large doses,
usually from the first trimester of pregnancy, daily until delivery.
It was thought that this particular synthetic could stimulate the placenta to produce more progesterone, a hormone which
supports pregnancy. The effectiveness of
its use in prevention of miscarriage is
questionable.
Some of the daughters who were in the
uterus at the time the drug was taken, are
now victims of clear-cell adenocarcinoma
of the genital tract. This has been a rare
type of cancer in any age group, occurring
when it did , in women over the age
fifty.
At this time, we do not know how large
the affected population is. It is estimated
that there are one million exposed women,
born between 1945 and 1971, who need to
be screened. It is assumed that most of
these women are either unaffected or'
have changes or abnormalities that are
harmless.
Considering the widespread use of DES
in pregnancy, the fact that only 170 cases
of cancer have been detected and treated
probably means that just a small
percentage of exposed women are endan-

gered. All exposed women should be
screened though, since the factors that
cause vaginal or cervical cancer to develop
in just part of the exposed population are
not understood.
As with other medical uncertainties, a
registry - The Registry for Clear Cell
Adenocarcinoma of the Genital Tract in
Young Women - has been set up to collect data on known cases. This will result
in a greater number of informed women
and doctors and in the development of
methods of detection and treatment.

The information collected on cases of
vaginal cancer so far seems to support the
theory that the DES-exposure has had its
effects on the developing fetus. In the
female fetus, the cells that become the
uterus and vagina are originally of the
same type. They mature into glandular
(Columnar) tissue in the uterus and
smooth (Squamous) tissue in the vagina.
DES affects this by causing some of the
columnar tissue to develop and remain in
the vagina and outer cervix. Patches of
this benign columnar tissue in the vagina
are called vaginal adenosis. Adenosis
occurs, though much less frequently, in
women who have not had DES exposure.
When this affects the cervix, it is called
cervical ectopy (or cervical 'erosion'). This
means that the squamo-columnar junction, where the uterine and vaginal
tissues meet, is on the outside of the cervix or on the vaginal wall, as opposed to
being near the opening of the uterus. This
occurs in 62% of the exposed women.
Some degree of ectopy is present in 25%
of all women who have never been pregnant, even when there is no history of maternal hormone therapy. Another possible
abnormality is complete or partial collars
of tissue encircling the cervix or upper
vagina. It is believed that these changes
begin in fetal stages, then are stimulated
by the release of ovarian hormones which
begins at menarche, the onset of menstruation. These changes do not occur in all
exposed women, nor do they often cause
ufezt/u ~
further proble~s when they do occur.
JAr~
~
But, these are s1gns a doctor can look for
~- ,
when DES exposure is suspected.
~ .A'_~IIUL
The first cases, found from 1966 to 1969,
~--(}~were brought to medical attention in their
~~
advanced stages, because of prolonged abnormally heavy and irregular vaginal
bleeding. These cancers were treated
without any knowledge of their relationship to DES.
Now we know more but there are still
some problems, especially in detecting
possible cases. Some are found at routine
yearly exams and Pap. smears. This is
both rare and unreliable for several reasons. First, not all women are having
yearly exams; and Pap. smears, when
done, can only show signs of cancer if it

affects the site where the smear is taken,
which is usually just around the cervix.
Even if a tumor is Papped, the smear will
not necessarily be abnormal because this
particular type of tumor doesn't shed its
abnormal cells as most cancers do. Also,
doctors are not always informed . Few of
them ask questions during a women's
yearly exam that might lead to the discovery of mate rnal history of DES therapy. (i.e. "Did your mother have problems
with miscarriage? Did she take any drugs
or hormones while pregnant with you?)
Even then, many women didn't know the
answers to these questions. Attempts to
find out often disclosed that good records
weren't kept and our mothers weren't always told what they were being given and
why. Usually DES was given when the
mother had had a previous miscarriage,
but sometimes, when there had been stillbirths or other complications or when miscarriage symptoms were present for the
first time, it was administered.

All of the female babies who were born
after the D~S was taken, need to be
screened. In any situation where a mother
took medicines daily throughout pregnancy, without knowing what the
medicine was, her daughter should be
screened.
It is essential that all women with
known or suspected maternal histories of
estrogen therapy be examined early, beginning at menarche or as soon thereafter
as it is realized, by a medical person familiar with the relationship between DES
and cancer.
This DES screening includes a pelvic
exam with a visual and manual inspection
for changes and / or abnormalities. The examiner paints the inside of the vagina with
a dilute iodine solution and observes the
staining pattern. In the presence of adenosis or adenocarcinoma, the abnormal cells
will not take the stain. Irregular staining
does not necessarily mean cancer. The examiner takes Pap. smears from the sites
which do not stain, so the cytology laboratory can determine what kind of cells are
there. An even staining pattern is reason
to believe that there will be no problems,
but the woman should continue to mention
her history at her yearly exams.
If either the staining or the Pap. smear
results are suspicious, a colposcopy will be
recommended. The colposcope is an instrument which allows the examiner to
look closely at, and photograph, the vaginal and cervical tissue. If determined
necessary, a biopsy (the removal of a bit of
the tissue for examination) is done.
Of these cases of clear-cell adenocarcinoma found in young women so far, most
were treated by removal of the diseased
parts. The extent of this depended on how
advanced the cancer was when discovered.
When the vagina was removed, it was replaced by an artifical skin graft vagina.
Some cases were treated by radiation or a
combination of radiation and surgery, but
these are too few to evaluate.
Now, more doctors and women are
learning about DES and associated cancer
so that when exposure is suspected,
screening terts ·are being done early,
before tumors develop . Like breast
cancer, genital cancer in young women is
curable if detected early. The importance
of a yearly pelvic exam, breast exam, and
Pap. smear for all women cannot be
stressed enough. To those whose mothers
were treated !with diethylstilbestrol or a
similar drug while pregnant, it is of particular importan<'e.

The following is from interviews with

came in to see Janet a couple of days
I got the letter. She explained what
meant and we ordered about six artfrom the library. They were really a
Some used scare tactics, -some
, "Look, it's not that bad", and some
pure statistics and reports of experi. I got the feeling that it was be-

ing dealt with, that people knew enough
to look at it objectively. Although there
were no percentages of women who did
this or that, what they did know was not
that frightening.
Janet did the stain and it was slightly
abnormal. Then I went to see Dr. Donohue. He's a great man, really a soothing
person. He did a colposcopy, really a
simple test ... easier than the first time I
had a Pap. smear. He explained exactly
what he was doing and what it would
show. Then, afterwards, we talked for
about twenty minutes - about what
would happen if something were to develop and measures that might be taken .
Actually, what he said to all my questions
was, "Well, we just don't know," adding
that we would have to deal with it when
we came to it ... but there's quite a bit of
research being done, so it's not something
that couldn't be dealt with.
He explained my situation by saying
that the cells are in a continual healing
process, changing from one kind of tissue
to another. As that process goes along
there is always the chance that some cells
might mutate ... there's that chance in
any healing process. So, we just have to
watch them. I am supposed to go back
every four months just to make sure that
· the cells don't start changing in cancerous
ways. It is not a very frightening thing,
when you think about it that wa'j.
Dr. Donohue said just to stay on the pill
like I have been ... that it wouldn't affect
it. I was really relieved by that.
He also wrote letters to Janet and to my
parents. He knew that they were upset.
And he gave me the name of a doctor in
LA who is doing similar work ... so there
is someone I can go to when I'm down
there. That fact and the letter were very
soothing to my parents.
If I met solrieone in a similar situation, I
would probably give them the articles I

have ... and say that it's a big thing,
something to work with and deal with and
go to doctors about, but it is not something that you should spend all of your energies worrying about. It seems like that's
what everyone I told did ... just totally
overreacted. The ones who didn't overreact were sort of in a shock state. They
said, "Oh, that can't happen."
What do you mean it can't, of course it
can happen ... but they couldn't deal with
it. So a lot of people I didn't tell until the
initial testing was over. I guess there's
something about the word cancer or the
fact that someone's looking for something
other than an ordinary Pap. smear that is
really a frightening thing to a lot of people
... and I suppose reasonably so.
It was really a good thing that they had
that discussion on television. At least, the
people who watched it became more
aware. At this point, I'm totally relaxed.
It's just something I have to go and check
every few months. I just accepted it ...
you know, start from here ... try and find
out what's going on ... and deal with it.

... About two years ago my sister and I
were sitting in the kitchen, with my mom,
talking about our childhood sicknesses.
My mother, very subtly, brought up that
there was something we should know,
something to inform any gynecologist that
we might later go to. That is, that our
mother was given continuous doses of
DES during both pregnancies. It was
given because she had two miscarriages
before me, one after me, then one later,
after my sister. So, both my sister and I
were in the uterus during the time she
was taking DES. She went on to say that
there is now an incidence of vaginal cancer
among women whose mothers had taken
DES ... and although it's not something
to get hysterical about, it is something to
know and keep track of.

At the time she was going through pregnancies, DES was handed out commonly
by a lot of doctors. Nobody thought twice
about it. But, she moved and went to a
younger gynecologist who raised his eyebrows when she said she had taken DES.
He said we would have to keep our eyes on
your daughters. He must have been especially well-informed .. . because that was
four or five years ago.
I've had examinations, in Portland for
instance, on an emergency basis, for infections or whatever. And I've made a point
of saying that my mother took diethylstilbestrol . . . no response, as if it didn't
make any difference. I didn't know of any
procedure of testing, so there was nothing
I could say. So I hadn't done anything
about it until the past couple of weeks. I
just happened to come by the clinic and
noticed that Janet did the staining. She
stained the inside of my vagina with iodine
and Papped all the places that didn't take
the stain. It wasn't uncomfortable, just
took a long time to cover all the tissue. My
staining wasn't completely normal, but it
wasn't really suspicious. It was just that
some of the inner (uterine) cells were
outer (in the vagina), sort of overflowing,
in an irregular pattern to one side. And
there were two little islands of uterine
tissue in the vagina (adenosis).

I went to see Dr. Donohue the next
week. The first thing he did was a form,
for the American Cancer Society or someone, with a complete medical history.
Some of the questions weren't even relevant to gynecological medicine . . . drugs
and former illness and whether or not I
smoke ... then he did some more staining
and this time it really stung. I think that
was because he swabbed me off with some
cotton first and maybe it irritated some of
the tissue. That didn't last very long. He
saw some mosaic patterns in the cells and
was able to say more precisely where the
abnormal cells are. He also has a

colposcope which is a binocular type of
setup with a camera for taking pictures.
He said, basically, that there are two
kinds of cells involved, the ones that belong inside of your uterus and those that
are in the vagina; - the interior ones just
don't belong on the exterior. They don't
just suddenly turn into cancer, either. The
problem is that in trying to repair themselves, some of them could develop abnormally. We just have to keep watching
them . . . I have an appointment with
Janet for more Pap smears and Dr. Don ohue said to come back in four· months,just
as a routine checkup.
I haven't told many people, because I've
known for a long time and there's no shock
value attached. I can usually deal with
things that go wrong with me , without
needing a great deal of moral support. The
people I did mention it to were concerned,
but I don't think they really knew how to
react ... I wasn't met with any really hysterical reactions. My family deals with
things as they come. We aren't really superstitious or mystical about medicine, so
this is not a really sensational problem. I
feel the same way about it as I do of any
cancer, of breast cancer; it can develop
and if it does I'll have tc pick up on it, but I
don't worry about it.
If I met someone who had just found out
her mother took DES, I would ask her
how she feels about it and watch her reaction, and respond to it. I would never
tell anyone not to be upset about it - because that would be denying her a right to
be upset, and I can't do that. As a rule I'm
pretty methodical and logical about things
that happEIJl.olt;.e people. I think that probably a person would need to be reassured
that it's not· crisis. There are things that
can be dorte. She can get the facts, as
much as ha·s been uncovered. There are
people wno can look 0Ut for her . .. she's
not alone. ·.' . there are people who care.

number of little tykes from the Cooper
Point area come in and use the computer,
playing all sorts of games. What happens
then, is that they occupy all the terminals,
leaving no room for the TESC students.
What they've done to remedy the situation is that York Wong, Computer Services Director, has placed a limit on the
number of computer terminals that are accessible to the little brats.
Playing games on the computer is the
way most computer freaks get hooked on
them. There are, if I remember right,
about 25 games to play on the computer.
They range from card games, like black
jack, to a game called "Star Trek". In
some of these games you can learn things
that you can't learn from a book. Some of
these games might be called dry runs, or
simulations, for real life situations. Some
of the games, like "Star Trek" seemed to
require that you know a little mathematics.
I even played with the stupid machine.
Within the computer is a 25 lesson program which will teach you how to operate
it. There is also a book called, 2000C: A
Guide to Time Shared Basic, whicl: will
help you learn to use the thing.
At first I was hesitant to do anything. I
mean, I didn't know what I was doing. I
did, however, play this one game called
"Bullfight". What it was, is a simulation of
a bullfight. The bull makes charges and
you have to be the matador, deciding what
move you have to make. The first time I
played it, after a couple of moves, my own
native intelligence got hold of me. I decided the best move was to turn and run.
With that move, I was booed. I thought
this unfair; after all, I would rather be a
live chicken than a dead duck.
Not having enough sense to quit while I
was ahead, I attempted to play again. This
time I was gored and killed. How do you
like that'? Violence spreading to the computers. Someone ought to do something
about that disease spreading everywhere.
On the serious side of computers, is the
Computer Assisted Instruction Programs
(CAl), which are designed to teach students at their own pace. What the student
needs to learn is to feed into the computer
the program they're working on and the
computer will recognize the weaknesses
and move to help them overcome them.
This prompted me to wonder if there is
anyone around here who could invent a
game called "The Administration Press
Conference". In this, all the situations
that arise in the conference can be simulated. Think of all the future journalists
who will sit down to use this program.
After a while, they'll get fed up with all
the boredom, the press baiting (giving

half the story, to get an idea of the reaction), and all the other funny games that
go on. Of course, they all might quit and
try something more sensible, like joining
the Marines (especially after playing this
game). But, who the hell cares?
The only problem you might have in trying to program something like this is the,
Human Element. When you get into programming CAl, you have to set down a
standard example, which is, after all, very
limited in its scope. When you deal with
stuff that is mechanical or mathematical
or of a technical nature, there really can't
be too many right answers, in fact there

computer is fulfilling that need. It is providing a tool which will be used by students to learn a variety of subjects, once
the operations of the computer are
learned.
Among the other toys, that I had no
idea what I was doing with, is a thing
called a graphics terminal. It appears to
look much like a typewriter only there is a
screen located above the keys. On this
contraption, signs, such as the ones advertising the computer film festival, are conceived. This type of machine is also used
in the production of computer films. I even
tried my hand at that. What you have to

can be only one answer, but when it comes
to things that involve human judgment or
taste it's a little hard to set a standard
example.
Now that I think about it, one could
tend to wonder why computers are here. I
mean, some Evergreeners came here for
the specific purpose of getting into a
better faculty-student learning situation,
only to be put in with computers who
won't even hate you if you turn out to be a
schmuck.
On the other hand, if the goal at Evergreen is to teach you how to learn, the

do first, is to log into the computer a program that is set for graphics. Two lines
will appear on the screen, vertical and
horizontal (the vertical being the X axis
and the horizontal, the Y axis). A third
axis (Z) is not shown because it intersects
the others and is on a line parallel with
your line of vision.
There are two dials on the side of the
keyboard that control the X and Y lines.
Wherever the two lines cross, a point can
be made by pressing the space bar. Pictures are made by moving the points
around the screen. Whenever a new point

is plotted, a line is drawn from the last one
plotted. To see if the effect is the one desired, the process can be stopped and run
in the desired way. Such as, if you plot
something on the screen and want to run
it so that it will rotate in any direction.
This way you can see if what you are doing
will produce the result you want.
And this is how Computer Films are
made. If the graph is run through, and the
effect is the one desired, the process is
filmed frame by frame. The film is then
speeded up when shown.
I finally ended up talking with York
Wong, ~he Directot;.of Computer Services.
It was a weird sort of conversation we
had. He didn't want his name to appear in
the Journal. It might have been because
he had seen the P.O.I.S.E. article I did. I
thought I wrote it with a little bit of class.
Rumor had it that ol' Charlie McCann,
head honcho of the school, was in the CPJ
office one day with a compliment on the
quality of the writing, but that the spelling "left something to be desired". I guess
he had seen the one word we spelled
wrong in an advertisement. I can picture
the scene now.
"Well, uh, well, the reason the word is
spelled wrong, is because we figured it
would attract attention, yeah, that's the
reason. Thanks for the compliment. We'll
see you later."
I think he's lost his marbles.
Well, that's what he gets for running
this school and smoking those funny-smellingcigars.
Where in the world do I get the stuff I
write'? What in the world happened to responsible journalism? What happened to
the computer article'? Maybe I can still salvage it.
When I put the questions to Wong, the
replies came, in what seemed to be a logical order. Which Jed me to wonder if
people who are deeply into computers
tend to be more organized in their thinking than other people. However, either I
didn't phrase the questions right or the
vyay they were received was all fouled up.

l 'ork Wong
P.\CF 16 '

He would start to reply to a question in a
way that was easily understood, but the
answer didn't pertain to the question, in
my view. I started to interrupt in order to
save what was left of our time.
The major goals of the computer services department as Wong sees them are:
1. To get people to realize the effect of the
computer on society. 2. To teach people
how to utilize computers. 3. To teach the
workings of computers.
Most people now take for granted the
far-reaching effect that the computer has
on everyday life. The most obvious case in
point would be the telephone. Without the
computer, you could hardly get a dial
tone, much less the person you want. All
the billings you receive (boo) are done by
computers. Computerized system analysis
design programs often eliminate much of
the bureaucracy existing in large organ··
izations.
One of the dangers of computers is the
way in which a computer relates to its
input. Outrageous lies and even absolute
balderdash will be looked at sometimes in
a non-discriminatory manner and consequently judged as pure truth.
The second goal that Wong mentioned
is to teach students how to use the computer to widen their learning facilities.
The student need not know how it works,
but how they can benefit from it.
Hard core computer junkies can learn
through computer services the howcome
and whyfore a computer does this and . 1
that.

The F?:rst Annual International Computer Film Festival will be held at Everg·reen on March 7, 8 and 9, next Thursday,
Friday and Saturday. Some of the top
compute·r filmmakers in the country will
be here, giving presentations on their
work. These w1:U be followed by nit ely film
showings in Lecture Hall One. Thursday
w1:ll feature compute·r films made for educatl:onal pu·rposes, Friday for artistic ones,
and Saturday for technical/scientific ones.
(The regular Friday nite film will be
shown on Tuesday that week. It is 2001 A Space Odyssey, which also contains a
section done by computer).
The Festival is the fi·rst majo·r collection
of computer-made films in the history of
computers and has attracted the attention
of technical people from as far away as the
East Coast. More than 90 films have been
entered from the U.S., Canada and
Europe.
The Festival will be educational for
mo·re than just computer nuts, if only for
the fact that the invited speakers are not
all compute·r programmers. In fact, four of
the jive are either professional artists or
hold Maste·rs in Fine Arts. As one man put
1:t, "Computer films are so contemporary
because they involve whole subsets of society in their production".
Information on specific times and places
of events can be obtained from the Info
Center or flyers which will be posted
around school. Attendance at the entire
Festival is free and open to the public.

Marat/Sade
at TESC

Assassination
in the Library
by Tom Graham
When the performance of the musical
play Marat/Sade begins next weekend,
the spirit of the French Revolution will
appear with it. Time will move with
bizarre swiftness as the blood, agonies,
and philosophies of the revolution are revealed.
The production's full title is The Persecution and Assassination of Jean-Paul
Marat as Performed by the Inmates of the
Asylum of Charenton under the Direction
of the Marquis de Sade. The notorious
Marquis de Sade spent the last years of
his life in the Asylum of Charenton. Monsieur Coulmier, the director of the asylum,
established regular theatrical productions
as therapeutic treatment for the patients.
M. de Sade wrote and directed many of
these productions. Fashionable Parisians
often attended the plays to watch the performance of the inmates. For this play,
the asylum and de Sade have been revived, and a new character, Marat, has
been added .
The play is centered around a dialogue
between Marat and de Sade. The dialogue
is illuminated by the rest of the cast, the
mood supplied by the music and realistic
twitching.
Jean-Paul Marat, played by Daniel
Dootson, was a journalist, and is my personal favorite. Marat possessed "The
Fear", a feeling journalists get when
somebody out there hates what their articles say.
"That manuscript was suppressed.
They were always ready to pick up my
statements to slander them, maim them.
After each pamphlet was published I had
to go into hiding. They came with cannons,
a thousand men of the National Guard
surrounded my house. And even today I
still wait for the knocking at the door,
wait for the bayonet to point at my
breast." So speaks Marat in the play.
Marat had a skin disease, which as a result
of his hiding in damp cellars and sewers,
spread to his lungs and forced him to
spend most of his time immersed in a bath
to be comfortable.
Marat, as a member of the Assemt:-•y,

(Daniel Dootson) as the Marquis De Sade (Craig Steward) looks on, in the
TESC Production of MARAT/SADE.
had a good deal to do with the execution
by guillotine of approximately 1,200 aristocrats and clergy.
De Sade wrote on matters besides sexuality, which is not commonly known. Recently the value of his thoughts on philosophy have been discovered. Craig Stewart
portrays the Marquis de Sade as a sexually obsessed philosopher.
De Sade's lines are full of a mixture of
sex and philosophy, as in this excerpt, "I
dreamed only of the orifices of the body
put there so one may hook and twine
oneself in them. Continually, I dreamed of
this confrontation and ft was a dream of
the most savage jealousy and cruelest
imagining. Marat, these cells of the inner
self are worse than the deepest stone
dungeon, and as long as they are locked,
all your Revolution remains only a prison

mutiny to be put down by corrupted fel low prisoners."
Marat/Sade directed by Ainara Wilder
will be performed Thursday through Fri day, March 7, 8 and 9. Curtain will be at 8
p.m. each night. Student Activities
Funds, the Deans Public Performance
Fund and funds from the budgets of the
Theatre/Dance Contract and America's
Music program have not met production
costs, so there will be a 50 cents admission
charge for students, and a $1.00 charge
for non-students.

•'• Q. Monica, is it true that you had trouble writing a lead-in
\entem·e for this article?
no.' A. Indeed. It seemed to me that anything I would have said
~ould have been obvious and cliche'-ish.
'' '' Q. What's the subject'!
~ A. I am supposed to be writing a statement for a group, of
· which I am a member, called the Concerned Persons of Ever·tfl-een. We formed in response to a decision by Ed Kormondy to
dtfl!r thE! Library Deanship to a Caucasian male. We thought
'then and still believe that the position should have been offered,
in the first instance, to Jovana Brown, a female.
Q. Well, since the male declined the offer and Ms. Brown has
'itl~cepted, hasn't the group's purpose become somewhat academic (pardon the pun)? Shouldn't it disband?
A. The pun was ugly. No, I disagree about the group's existEmce. The questions which we initially asked have not been answered to our satisfaction, nor have the opinions we expressed
been resolved by some individual or group whose authority or
expertise, in the matter, we recognize. As it is, we've
discovered that the COG grievance procedure, which we've
been assiduously following, has been inadequate for resolving
this type of dispute, primarily because time has been consumed
w•th each side talking to the other, when, by now, the responses from each of us have become predictable and rote, especially regarding the initial issue.
, ,Q. Let's start at the beginning. Wasn't the male candidate
bt\tter qualified?
A. You're baiting me. Let me start at the beginning. The Lior!lrY Dean Selection DTF, following the criteria established by
a r:;econd, but prior existing, Library DTF, advertised qualifications which it felt were appropriate to handling that particular
library position. I think, since neither the Concerned Persons of
~,ergreen or the Vice-President and Provost have challenged
· tne Dean Selection DTF's processes in selecting the two final
candidates, I'll skip a recitation of those steps.
Q. Thanks. I think you're stalling.
'i'A· No, how you get there is as important as where you're go\J?g. The qualifications, as advertised, included a Master of LiP.f&ry Science degree or equivalent experience, a minimum of
five years of administrative experience in an undergraduate li~'ifry, some formal teaching experience at the undergraduate
1(•~1, and a demonstration of an understanding of technological
~m:~elopment in library operations coupled with an understandi~~md appreciation of the expanding role of me.dia technology.
fhamining the candidates' respective backgrounds, one finds
t ~a} t.h£' male had an M.A. degree, 11 112 years of administrative
,:~·B~riE'nce, three of which were spent heading up a library
~.'iSl'
;~lllar to Evergreen's, and no formal undergraduate teaching

yl•ars of administrative experience. Hoth demonstrated the
requisite understanding and appreciation of technology, though
i.h<· male, on a small scale compared to Evergreen's operation,
had dirl!Ct experience with it.
.Q. O.K., so who was better qualified?
A. You tell me.
Q. We're playing games.
A. Couldn't agree with you more.
Q. Let's go back to the chronological approach. What
happened next'!
A. After a visit by Ed Kormondy to the t:andidates' respective work situations, he returned and reported to the library's
budget unit heads that his decision was to offer the position to
the male candidate. To some of us it appeared to be a clear violation of {<~qual Employment/ Affirmative Action principles the woman was qualified for successful performance in this
position - and should have been offered the position. Our
group formed, informed Ed of its opinion through a memo and
requested a response, asking for his perceptions of Evergreen's
Affirmative Action policy and the factors included in his decision with special reference to the Affirmative Action policy.
We also supplied data which indicated that at the deans and
dirPl'tors level there were 21 Caucasian males, one Black male,
on<> Asian male and three Caucasian females. This data suggested, to us, two points: one, there was a paucity of females
and non-whites at this level, and two, that there was a pattern
of discrimination against non-whites and females, which should
he stopped. We decided that, as we pursued this issue, our
goals would be twofold: one, a resolution of this issue which
would clarify the questions we had raised, and secondly, as a
consequence of number one; raising an awareness among appointing authorities about Affirmative Action.
Q. You seem to mention Ed a lot. You got a!lything against
him'!
A. Nope, just his decision in this case. Also, he's the only
member of the administration so far who is officially involved.
He made the decision, which is his to make, and he is responsibl<> for it.
Q. Goon.
A. You couldn't stop me if you wanted. Ed met with us and
discussed his written response; the response was illuminating
and he was candid. It's difficult to avoid doing an injustice to
Ed's reply because the response was lengthy and any quotation
I might use, mi;ht seem to be take'n out of context; I'll try my
best, howevPr. Ed felt that the primary quality needed in the library was leadership; his application of this quality to library
needs was quite 'd etailed. Before I make any comments on that,
I should like to q'tlote from his final paragraph, "Finally, and importantly in my final considerations, the most critical element is
that we are now in our third year of library operation and can
no lonl{er enjoy the further leisure of achieving these goals; we
must move rapiHiy. We cannot enjoy a period of training our
own. And, because of the most considerable difference in the
typl!, hn•adth, atul depth of experience of the two candidates, (I

assuml• a puzzlt•tl look and say, "Whoa, I've got some questions
of my own 1 ·~ ~~~R ···

from preceding page

Q. You're turning this around.

A. You're right. Where are we moving
so rapidly? What purpose(s) does it serve?
Where was it mentioned in the advertised
qualifications that the emphasis for this
position would be· leadership qualities derived from experience? Isn't there a tinge
of arbitrariness on the part of the appointing authority if these became th~ final determinants? Also, and here's the main
rub, presumably the Selection DTF recommended two candidates, closely, but
differently qualified, for successful performance in the Library Deanship position, and Ed selected the one criterion
which was bound to discriminate against
the woman candidate. We women, especially in the library field, know, or thought
we knew, the rules of the game. The profession is composed of 82 per cent women,
yet men hold 90 per cent of the administrative positions. Experience being denied
to most, some choose another route - obtaining a doctorate which will prepare
them in an alternate way for the experience which has been denied, or at any
rate, damned hard to get.
Given this action, we ask ourselves,
won't there he any way to get in the
game? And on a deeper level, if the emphasis on the part of hiring officials at

Evergreen, (I have no reason to believe
Ed is unique), is to hire those with experience and lots of it, how are non-whites
and women to get into the game, if hiring
officials keep upping the ante?
Q. You've turned the tone of this from
quasi-reportorial to an ad vocative one.
A. Guilty.
Q. Is it true that you've had trouble trying to write a closing paragraph?
A. You beL I"ve limited myself to a
highly technical discussion regarding one
issue. There is much more to say. The
Concerned Persons have discovered that
there are more questions than there are
answers and most are fundamental to
Evergreen and our society in general.
I would like to return to the crude metaphor of a game. The rules of becoming
part of a recruitment pool, getting hired
and/or promoted were, in large measure,
created and perpetuated by white males.
The Equal Employment/ Affirmative Action Plans and guidelines were established
so that others, traditionally excluded from
recruitment, hiring and promotion processes, would know what the rules of the
game were.
rm fairly certain that around here
there's an attitude held by some that
these guidelines are externally imposed.

Co111baHing the tussock moth
by Phillip Roush

As a native North-Westerner, I can't
help but be interested in the future of this
land. To the East of those mountains over
there is a crisis. A real crisis involving the
immediate future of a lot of trees, some
two million acres. At first glance, this
would appear to be the extent of the problem. But upon closer scrutiny, there lies a
political factor that blurs the issue. Any
time emotional persuasion outweighs
scientific research in Mother Nature's
arena the result will undoubtedly be catastrophic in the long run.
Dichloro - diphenyl - trichloro - ethane
(DDT) is on the block. This odorless, colorless, crystalline insecticide was first used
in the Pacific Northwest in 1947 for the
purpose of exterminating insects. For the
last two years this chemical compound has
been in the news regarding its use with
the Douglas-fir Tussock Moth. These little
caterpillars are capable of defoliating a
giant fir tree from top to bottom.
Last Friday, Feb. 22, the Washington
State Pesticide Control Board (WSP'::B)
met to decide whether or not the employment of DDT in the combat with the

Tussock Moth was needed. Although the
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
has the final say, this state must decide.
first, whether or not there is sufficient
cause for the chemical's use.
The WSPCB consists of only four members Testifying before the agency was a
gentleman by the name of David Graham.
Mr. Graham represented the Forest Service, a strict advocate for the use of DDT.
He said, "The potential benefits of DDT
far outweigh the adverse effects."
Dr. Michel Beug, faculty member here
at TESC spoke out eloquently against the
~se of DDT. Dr. Beug's coordinated studies class, Ecology and Chemistry of Pollution, has been researching the Tussock
Moth problem for some five months. The
group spent one week in Northeast Oregon observing in action the menace, that
is,, the Tussock Moth, the Forest Service
Management and the Forest Products Indus\ry. (By the way, the program, probably, the most actively involved in the politi!;~l arena, is scouting recruits.)
With the knowledge that the Tussock
Mot.h's epidemic usually lasts about three
yeavs.{rom eruption to complete collapse,
it is the opinion of some that the pest

,.....

should be allowed to run its course. One
natural enemy, the nuclear polyhedrosis
virus, causes a disease which is capable of
wiping out this pesky critter. Unfortunately, in some cases, control of the moth
does not occur until after serious defoliation. Also, the element of application
raises some problems as the virus is a' living organism and must be treated as such.
At the end of the meeting, Mr. Big~s,
Director of the Department of Ecoloff,
made a motion that the WSPCB grant permission for use of DDT in carefully selected forest areas to curb the epidemic of
the Tussock Moth in the summer of 1974.
The motion was voted on and passed un'at\imously. With this, the final decision gm!~

_Myers won't be your neighbor
by Tom Graham
·there is a lot of money to be made in
.real estate. Michael Myers knows, real
estate is his business.
Steve Hyers of the Thurston County
·Regional Planning Office told me, "You
have to meet him to understand." Mike
Myers is originally from the state of
Washington. The Myers Company really
likes to stress that, not wanting to be
identified as out-of-state. Myers started
the Myers Company in Bellevue. He then
moved down to Florida and engaged in
real estate there. The Myers Company,
owned by Myers and his wife, have a
subsidary in Florida. Myers has returned
to this state with a real estate package
known as the Evergreen Village located
·~outh of The Evergreen State College in
Thurston Cotmty.
· · In December of 1972 the Myers
Company came before the Thurston
County Regional Planning Commission
with a request that 440 acres south of the
campus between Kaiser and Mud bay,
Brener Road and the Freeway be zoned as
a Planned Unit Development (P.U.D.).
The Commission denied the request.
In 1968, when the decision to locate the
' college in the Cooper Point area was
announced, Thurston County adopted an
1
lnterim Zoning Ordinance. This ordinance
in effect put a hold on development around
the college. The ordinance included a
clause allowing Planned Unit Developments. According to urban planner and
faculty member Russ Fox, a P.U.D. was
intended to be more along the lines of the
ASH complex than the extensive development proposed by Myers.
In October of 1972 the Planning
Commission had adopted the Cooper Point
Association's Comprehensive Land Use
Plan for Cooper Point. The Plan allowed
only half the dwelling units proposed by
Myers. At this time the Cooper Point Plan

· ()outy over this decision claiming the
~'ejsion arbitrary and capricious.
'l'ht> County Prosecuter raised the
P.\ CF

~(1

question of legality with regard to the
Cooper Point Plan. Initially the Prosecuter maintained that a comprehensive
plan couldn't he made for only a part of the
county; indicating the whole county would
have to he considered, or none of the
county could be planned. Every other
county that did a comprehensive plan,
planned by part of the county. The Cooper
Point Association lobbied for and received
a clarification law stating that parts of the
county could have comprehensive plans.
The County Prosecutor then raised the
question of the legality of residents
preparing the plan for the coutny.
In August of 1973 the Myers Company
presented the Planning Commission with
a petition for a rezone. They requested
that the Interim Zoning Ordinace be
maintained with a special clause to allow
the Evergreen Village development. The
proposal was essentially the same as the
previous P.U.D. The 440 acres would be
subdivided into 221 acres of Multi-Family
Residential including three acres of mobile
home, thirty-seven acres of Patio homes,
forty-nine acres of commercial area, and
139 acres of open space and right-of-way.
Evergreen Village would have 3,800 to
4,000 dwelling units. Once again the
Commission denied their peition. This
time because the development was not
.compatible with the Cooper Point Plan.
Once again Myers sued claiming the
Cooper Point Plan was illegally adopted.
In January of 1974 the Cooper Point
Association succeeded in persuading the
County to adopt the Cooper Point Density
District Ordinance. The Cooper Point
Ordinance 'makes law' the Cooper Point
Plan.
The Myers Company's Evergreen
Village development seems to be blocked.
The Thurston County Regional Planning
Commission assured me they were not
prepared to recommend even a compromise between the Myers project and the
ordinance. Myers, however, has access to
the courts.
According to Don Taylor, Myers'
Olympia Attorney, the two law suits are
based around essentially the same issues.
The Myers Company feels the zoning is
wrong for the property. Myers feels that
the Cooper Point Association's plan
concentrates the high density in what are
now wooded areas; away from Olympia,
The proposed Evergreen Village Site has
been largely cleared for agricultureal use;

already tampered with by man. Myers
claims it has the best drainage available .
The location is readily accessible to
Olympia, the college, and the freeway.
Myers, after all, has to protect his
interests. But what are his interests?
Myers is primarily concerned with selling
land, but he may have some land holdings.
None of the land in the investment area is
currently listed under the name of Michael
Myers. The land appears to be owned by
individual investors, and other investment companies. Much can be learned at
the County Assessor's office, but there
are still gaps. Some of the companies
investing in the area are, the Continental
Equity Limited Partnership, International Diversified Limited Partnerships
numbers, one two and three, and the
P .P .C. Limited Partnership. Continental,
P.P.C., and the original International
Diversified are from Orlando, Florida
where the Myers subsidiary is located.
There is a sizeable amount of money
invested in the real estate of the
development area. It seems probably that
only if the development goes through will
the investors profit. For example, and
these are only examples, International
Diversified Limited Partnership number
three bought three parcels of land for
$275,000 each. The parcels of land were
1.~8 . 8.62 and 15.0 acres, previously
appraised at $21,000, $6,440, and $11,240.
Continental Equity Limited Partnership
purchased a 28.37 acre parcel, previously
appraised at $40,800 for $312,000. P.P.C.
Limited Partnership bought a 4.07 acre
parcel previously appraised at $20,400
dollars for $40,000. Land values are
certainly on the rise.
The Cooper Point Plan and implementing ordinance allow development on
Cooper Point. Development is inevitable
given a growing population and the
pressue of land values and taxes. In 1974
land is going to be taxed on its fair market
value. This will mean an increase in most
taxes especially for the farmers near the
development areas such as the Evergreen
Village. Fair Market Value meaning
something akin to "the going rate."
Farmers and other landholders in already
marginal positiions may be forced to sell.
What the Comprehensive Plan attempts
to do is provide uniform and reasonable
development to fit the population and the
environment.

BYE
Despite our constant efforts to recruit a staff for the
Cooper Point Journal, we have failed to do so with a
consistency which would allow us to continue putting
out much of a newspaper at all. During the last two
weeks numerous of our full and even part time staff
members have resigned their posts. Generally the
reason was the rather sound one of failure to be able to
find the time to do both work involved in the various
coordinated studies and group contracts which staff
members were part of, as well as their work on the
CPJ.
This issue was put together almost entirely through
the efforts of three fulltime, hardcore writers, one
photographer who has now found it necessary to call it
quits, two members of the editorial staff, one member
of the production staff (who has also found it necessary
to resign) and two members of the business staff. For
these nine people to have put together the 24 page
paper of March 1, was a miracle enough. The fact that
three of these nine have since resigned for valid
reasons, makes the further production of this paper an
im ptossibility with a staff of this size.
The Cooper Point Journal has travelled one of those
rocky roads this quarter, that while many a flat tire
crops up, the scenery usually makes up for the time
spent changing tires.
The Cooper Point Journal has made both enemies
and friends this quarter, and making both have
pleased us. The reason that making friends is
pleasing, is obvious. A newspaper that doesn't make
enemies is generally a newspaper that is failing to do
its job. As,Edito.r , I have always felt that newspapers
't hat served the purpose of making people comfortable
were newspapers that were not serving their purpose.
Hopefully the CPJ has proved informative, 'thought
provoking' and entertaining throughout the quarter. I
expect that in the last two weeks of this quarter,
without the CPJ, even our enemies will miss us and
our usual madcap antics.
The Cooper Point Journal is not dead, so this isn't
real~y an obituary. Better it can be said that for the
rest of Winter Quarter 1974, it has gone comatose.
Next quarter the Cooper Point Journal will re-emerge
with a new Editor and hopefully a refurbished staff.
Don't miss it.
I suppose I could go on for hours and hours, and
even get somewhat maudlin about the whole thing.
However, it is better to just simply call it quits. So one
last time, a hearty 'raspberry' to all of our readers and
'It's been swellH'
