Co«tper Point Journltl
Eaclt more melodious note I hear
Brings this reproach to me,
That I alone afford the ear,
Who would the music be. "
- Henry David Thoreau
Tuesday evening, May 28, provided an
embarrassment of riches for listeners: due
to inept scheduling, four musical events
overlapped in time.
An impromptu marimba band performance filled Red Square and a circle of
"ears" with dancing music.
The America's Music program presented
a long-planned recital in the Library
lobby. An audience made up of folks of
all ages enjoyed the pleasant frivolity of
excerpts from American musical comedy
and opera. In a song from "The Fantasticks," two fathers compared vegetable
gardening to the harrowing experience of
child-raising. Gamboling semi-manic
pseudo-greasers brought down the house
with their performance of "Gee, Officer
Krupke" from "West Side Story." A goodnatured genre-parody, Leonard Bernstein's
"Trouble in Tahiti," was another high
point. In it, a moviegoer re-enacts the escapist musical she has just seen, and
draws a shop-attendant and two janitors
into singing and dancing along.
Simultaneously, The Evergreen Chamber Orchestra presented a concert of baroque and 20th century music in Lecture
Hall 1. Bach's Suite in B Minor and Debussy's Sacred and Profane Dances played
to an intimate audience. (This is a term
music critics use when they mean that attendance ought to have been better.) The
orchestra had played the same program at
St. Martin's chapel the previous Sunday.
In a free concert from 8:30 to 12:30,
Sunnyland Band and Entropy Service alternated sets. The fourth floor of the Library and the adjacent balcony milled
with high-spirited folk, many of whom
had attended or performed in the earlier
concerts. Sunnyland's rock made fine listening, but was a little slow for dancing.
Entropy Service's blue-grass blend seemed
to find more favor with the crowd; Linda
Waterfall's rendition of "Jelly-Roll" was
especially stirring. In an interlude when
Entropy St•rvicc was performing their new
iunt! 4; 1974
song, · "Tuning," (which Sunnyland had
played repeatedly), another little drama
was unfolding nearby.
7,423 watts
A hundred yards away, Bill Bradshaw,
a first-year student in Nature and Society,
whose program director characterized him
as a "spacy kid," missed his footing while
climbing and plummeted off the Library
roof.
The athletic Bradshaw, captain of an intramural campus baseball team, weighs
approximately 70 kilograms, so his potential energy at the fourth-floor height of
14.5 meters was 9,947 joules. After a fall
of 1.34 seconds, the power released on his
contact with the pavement was 7,423
watts. (To give an idea of how much that
is, an example: could this power have
been harnessed and stored, it would have
sufficed to power the KAOS transmitter
for 61 hours. When advised of these
figures in a June 2 phone interview, Bradshaw commented "That's interesting.
I've been wondering about that kind of
stuff." But this method of realizing indi-
vidual potential is too drastic to be highly
recommended.)
He lay howling imprecations to an unkind fate, while friends tried to soothe
him, and the McLane Fire Department got
him on a stretcher, ready for the ambulance to St. Peter Hospital.
Limited mobility of Bradshaw's ankle
joints is likely to prove the accident's
most lasting ill effect. This may restrict
his ability to participate in such sports as
mountain-climbing, and affect his walk.
But Bradshaw was fortunate to have
landed on his feet, since nearly any other
position would have resulted in fatal injury.
With the exception of the continued
enigma of Donna Gail Manson (who disappeared between her dorm and the
Library on February 12, and the illness of
art teacher Susan Brenner, most Evergreeners have weathered this year well.
Time, the subtle thief of youth, has been
rather kind to TESC.

Story sadistic
To the Editor:
If you haven't been reading the Cooper
Point Journal lately - check it out, you
might be missing something . If you
haven't been keeping up with the "innovative" activities of The Evergreen State
Coll~ge staff, faculty , students, and administr~tion, you really have been missing
something.
,..fhis letter will gradually reveal the reality of a "hearing;" its undertones and overtones. My field of studY, has been research. Hopefully, I will continue in this
field of study until I have obtained my
masters degree .
The subject abstractly displayed by The
Cooper Point Journal concerns a hearing
held May 21, 1974: Kan vs. Hillaire. Or
was it: Asian vs. Native American .
Wruld you believe : Accountant vs. Phill'Sl'pher? Very interesting: but too emoA
tionalistic! The charges - whatever they
were - didn't stick. But the Cooper Point
Journal indicates in a somewhat sadistic
way that Mary Ellen Hilla ire is GUllTY
until proven INNOCENT. If you will,
GUll TY even though proven INNOCENT.
Just as in the real Watergate, there is a
tape. It was at a Non-White DTF meeting
held April 10, 1974 - Mary Ellen asked,
"Is this letter up for question?" There
were about four affirmative answers simultaneously. Very innocent So far7 The
letter up for question was from Ken
Winkley (Ken's supervisor) and as far as I
could tell, it was a reference letter
commending Kingsley Kan ·for his overtime, efforts, efficiency, and dedication.
Ken Winkley was present; Kingsley Kan
wasn't.
The meeting seemed to be addressing
Affirmative Action per se as it relates to
TESC. Mary Ellen questioned ~s did two
other people : Rock and Dean Rudy Martin. Martin leading into gri~vance procedure for students; and R'Ock. indicating
that he hasn't had one correct check from
Student Accounts In two years' time.
Later, someone manipulated the ques-
tionings (singling out only Mary Ellen)
and turned them into : "charges . . . implications . . . accusations . . . broad
statements . . . slander . . . unsubstantiated (1)
suggestive . . .
undocumented(?) ... accusations, etc." It
had to be someone. Was it a student7 A
member of the TESC staff7 A faculty
member? Or was it a " . . . highly placed
member of the (TESC) administration . .
.. " After all, they (as an administration)
have Watergate; and what do we have as
Minorities?
Digging up old bones couldn't have
been a more interesting fetish. Anyway,
there ended up being more than one
"someone" involved. The entire TESC
population (it seemed) divided: One side
reflecting contempt; the other side reflecting religious sympathy. Who really
needed either? Anyway this spelled Public
Clamor.
This whole mess reveals the powe1 of
Emotions run rampant. It also indicates
what can be called a "weakness" in the
TESC governance document, COG :
1. Should hearings of this nature be
handled internally (within the institution)? Would a C·>mmission on Hu-
man Rights be more fair7
2. Should grievances of this nature be
brought into public hearing7 Since
this is bad advertisement.
3. Should a hearing of this nature cover a conglomeration of representation
openly7 For instance: student vs.
faculty; faculty vs. staff; administrator vs. faculty, etc. etc. should a case
arise.
4. Would "Conflict Management Sessions" suffice7 This is where you can
safely vent your grievances and be
heard.
One fact remains regardless of all this
ado: Mary Ellen Hilla ire will not compromise her people nor her students even
though coaxed to do so by students, faculty members, staff members, and administrators "highly placed" in administration. Her convictions have strengthened
over the years; experience has been her
teacher.
Although this hearing took place officially on May 21, 1974, it has been a long
hearing considering that it started undercurrently on April 10, 1974 - seven long
weeks of unheard hearing. It could have
resulted in getting two birds with one
stone and in a test case at thf!t: Mary
Ellen Hillaire and Kingsley Kan resigning
from undue pressure of uncontrolled public clamor. By the way. Kan's emotionalism is none-too-consistent with accountants. The Journal indicates that he was
"upset." He also had another job before
adventuring into this minority "circus"
perpetuated by COG procedures.
But - should I really be complaining.
After all, what a billing! My name with
all those "biggys." Maybe I should appeal!
After all, my name (as a student) was
used in a false context: I didn't get an
emergency loan as indicated by a witness,
B.S. And it took overnight to the next
day at 4 p.m. to get my $35 check corrected for Winter Quarter. It wasn't corrected "all in the same day" as indicated
by K.K. at the hearing. But then, it has
been said that a bad relationship is better
than no relationship at all. Sobeit.
This letter was an effort to clarify the
subject of a hearing at TESC; an impossible task. Pick up the last two copies of
the Cooper Point Journal and see for
yourself.
Pauline Covington
Phoenix rising ·
To the Editor:
After leaving Evergreen to further my
education at WWSC. I had nothing but·
fond thoughts of my alma mater. Today,
Friday I came back to TESC to clean up
sr>.nt: paperwork and other extraneous
odds and ends. Friendships also were a
1....... A IMA
.
'
reason to come back to a school/resource/
place where my heart lies.
In my travels around campus I heard
some incredible rumors about a person
that helped me through some serious financial difficulties. Kingsley Kan is as
much an institution at TESC as Charlie
McCann and Peanut the dog. Anyone
who would suspect him of any wrongdoing has to be so out-to-lunch that she
shouldn't even be recognized, much less
listened to. Alii can say is 'To hell with
her!"
To the Evergreen spirit - please surface as I once knew you, being metaphorical - rise like the Phoenix and just ignore people trying to make a name for
themselves at the expense of people I love
and respect.

Context
missed
To the Editor:
I have found my name in print a number of times in the past two months and I
have yet to see myself correctly represented. The article in last week's CPJ entitled 'Women Confront Biases" was a
good one and I generally feel that it said a
lot of what needed saying but I also
believe that some of the statements were
taken out of context and therefore misrepresentative of my ideas. So, just to set the
record straight; I did not simply say "the
male faculty at Evergreen should get their
shit together on using women as resources
... " I did say "I see the Women's Center
as a resource center." I hope that it can
develop into the place where a male faculty put in the position of having to lead
a seminar OR Shulamith Firestone's "The
Dialectic of Sex" can call the Center and
say "this is the situation and if someone
could come and participate in the discussion it would help me and the students a
lot." The Center offers minimal resources
(interested women faculty, staff and students) at 'his point but it is growing. I
would hope this exchange will be requested and filled in the near future.
I also did not say "People assume we
are all femini$t-oriented and cliquish. We
don't want to be political, although sometimes it is necessary. We are for reinforcement." I don't know what I said that
wound up coming out like that, but anyone that knows me knows that I feel col.lective action is absolutely necessary to
· . the goal of equality for women. I also feel
that any action taken by oppressed people
to better their situation is, by definition,
political. It is absurd to think it isn't. We
are certainly here for reinforcement but
equally important is that we are here to
provide the needed pressure to change the
sexist status .quo. The Affirmative Action
Policy is a tool that the people can use to
equalize a presently unequal situation. But
the people have to use it before it will
work and that process is a political one.
The article implied that being feministoriented and political was bad and something I was trying to shy away from. This
is not my feeling at all. Being feministoriented and political is a very exciting
learning thing for me and something I see
as positive.

Windsor
rebuked
To the Editor :
This letter is in response to Jay Windsor's letter to the editor last week. I personally feel little or no sympathy for a
heterosexual male who complains about
having his "genitals .. explored," by, I
will presume from the address of his letter, a gay male. I can't help thinking that
his difficulty in dealing with or understanding who and what gay people are is
a result of just plain ignorance and not
giving enough of a damn to try.
My personal bias is that I have not
given up on attempting to understand
who and what heterosexual males are, despite the fact that I have subjected to not
only physical exploration by said persons,
but physical abuse, assault and have been
generally regarded as open territory for
comment, observation, probing and prodding.
It surprises me still thal I am a heterosexual woman, after all these years of
mental, physical and emotional abuse
from men.
My participation and interest in the
Gay Lab/Fest stemmed from a growing
realization that I do, in fact, have an alternative; that my sexual and emotional
orientation need not be directed toward
the emotionally crippled men of our society like Jay Windsor.

A community is made up of people.
Different people have different values.
Some may even feel different responsibilities. A community is held together by respect and a willingness to grant different
people their right to be different.

Daly refuted
To the Editor:
I am responding to Andrew Daly's letter printed in the Cooper Point Journal. in
which he stated that he perceived am "ir- ·
responsible" and "indecisive" attitude on
the part of the S&A Board members (I
have already sent him my written
response.)
I have worked with the Board for seven
months now in the role of executive secretary. I feel that the present Board is carrying out its duties conscientiously. I have
sat through over 60 hours of meetings
with them and feel that there have been
very few times when their behavior could
be described as "irresponsible" or "indecicise."
Further, I perceive a personality conflict
between Andrew and at least two Board
members. I noticed this during the budget
meeting on May 22. (At that meeting, at
which the summer budget was determined, there were five Board members
present.)
It is important to note that the S&A
Board guidelines, established by a DTF,
state that there shall be no quorum. The
members that come to the meetings make
the decisions. (Also, the board has eight
members, not nine.)
Andrew referred to the members telling
'"in' bureaucratic jokes." Without a sense
of humor to help them deal with a complicated and sometimes exhausting budgetary process, the members wouldn't have
lasted two weeks.
I recommend that in the future Andrew
approach the Board directly with any
comments he may have as to their performance, in accordance with the COG
document, rather than through the newspaper. This will probably increase the
Board's receptiveness to his remarks.

... and advised
To the Editor:
The issue addressed in the letter from
Andy Daly, published in the May 23,
1974 issue of the Cooper Point Journal is
one which deeply concerns those of us on
the Services and Activities board who regularly attend meetings, and those close to
the board. The issue which Andy spoke
to in his letter is mainly his concern that
student activities receive the kind of unbiased attention that they warrant and
that the decisions of the S&A Board are
of questionable validity due to the lack of
attendance by board members.
In calling for the resignations of the
board members who regularly attend
meetings, Andy would have us commit
the one act which, if carried out, could
cripple not only this summer's S&A
budget but next year's as well. How this
might better serve the interests of the students on this campus escapes me.
At the present time the board is engaged in the somewhat debilitating process of budgeting for next year. This means
that we must hear the budget proposals of
approximately 30 groups seeking funds
for next year, allowing each ample time
to state its case. The prospect of eight
new people, totally ignorant of the budget
process, attempting to cope with the budgets for next year and this summer, is
something which I, personally, am not
prepared to inflict on this school.
That only four to five board members
regularly attend meetings and make decisions, despite the lack of attendance of
the rest, is clearly provided for in the
COG documents. The removal and replacement of those members with poor attendance is also provided for. This is an
action presently under discussion by the
board.
The question ot the degree to which
personal bias enters into the decision-making process is one which any conscien-.
tious person must face from time to time.
I would be greatly surprised if in the
course of this year some decision made by
this board had not in some way offended
some person or group of persons. Yet as
long as more money is requested for stu-

Commentary
rebuked
To the Editor:
In reference to your guest commentary
of May 23, Evergreen can count itself
lucky to have in residence a social critic
with the intellectual depth of Mr. Martin
J. Oppenheimer. His criticism of the lack
of community has, from my point of
view, a certain degree of justification. He
seems to me the personification of the reason for the absence of community. His
suggestion of something resembling an
ombudsman system may have possibilities, and his analysis of the academic
situation may, for all I know, be quite accurate. Being a member of neither faculty
or student body it would be presumptuous of me to criticize his criticism .
His closing statement : "Remember, the
institution consists of people ;" his explanation of the statement in the third paragraph of his article would appear to me to
be desirable, "Buildings and grounds are
the responsibility of a veritable army of
eight-to-fivers. Most of them are great
people but, since they're always around to
clean up . .. " It would seem to me that
an army of 50 to 60 people out of a population of perhaps 2,500 should not pose
much of a threat to Mr. Oppenheimer's
peace of mind. The other question: either
he feels that maintenance and cleanup are
not required in his intellectual utopia, i.e.
a fiefdom of students, or perhaps he feels
that they should remain underground and
do their thing only when he is not around
to be annoyed by their presence.
His comment that you need an appointment at least a week in advance with the
members of the bureaucracy or administration, i.e . those capable of making mistakes in capital letters, I also consider
false as I have been able to see anyone I
felt I had reason to see within a day or so
and at my convenience, since I work evenings. For extremely busy people they do
seem to be remarkably accessible if you
have something of importance to say.

Realm opened
To the Editor:
1
I read Sharon Ryal's guest commentary
with interest. Its main point of departure
from most "Evergreen is fouled up" articles is, I think, Sharon's emphasis on Evergreen's specific ability to motivate students to act. This is, in Sharon's mind,
one of the high points of the school and
the main feature which sets us above
those other "traditional" institutions.
I have two points of contention. One,
the ability to act is only valuable when
coupled with intelligent forethought. Secondly, other institutions probably indirectly force their students to action with
more success than Evergreen's direct efforts.
This is not the place to fully detail my
feelings. Still, I believe Evergreen opens a
public realm that is essentially false and
very misleading. Ours is a public realm
where action is encouraged but n~t possible. In other public realms (such as the
outside world at policital meetings) actual
action is vehemently discouraged, but is
possible. It is in these presslJ'l'ed public
realms that action must take place. Not
talk but intelligent action.

By coincidence, in the third paragraph
of Times At TESC there is a reference to
this same good citizen, characterized as a
thrower of paper airplanes, a smoker of
pipes and a getter-offer of one-liners. Besides displaying his good manner, he evidently had to display his mental superiority by sophomoric distraction. As a professional retriever of thrown airplanes I
can also verify that, one - he is a very
poor designer of unguided missiles and,
two - he left them for a member of that
veritable army to pick up.
I can only assume that he was selected
for membership in this group, not for his
mental qualifications but by that same
'giant Computer' he professes to be the
symbol of distrust. Using the apt phrase
of L. Elton Coleman in 'Night Falls on

Lights disputed
What began as "just another construction project" has mushroomed into a mass
of charges, emotions and petitions. The
controversy concerns the 104 lamp posts
presently being constructed along the
mile-long Evergreen Parkway. Reactions
and counter-reactions have been flying
back and forth ever since the Totem Electric Company, contracted to erect the
lights, began coastruction during spring
break.
"I think it's inconsistent with Evergreen's philosophy to allow additional
lighting that's not needed," commented
student Michael Tiranoff, "especially with
the energy shortage. It will scare away the
wildlife."
"Dogs are causing more ecological damage than any lights would," noted Security Chief Rod Marrom, responding to the
environmental concerns. Marrom said
that the security office wants the lights in
because of traffic hazards on the presently
unlit road.
'We've been lucky. There have been
only two or three accidents so far. The intersections are pretty blind," he said.
Gary Marcus, along with several other
students, has been circulating a petition
requesting the Board of Trustees, as the
persons responsible for the final decision,
to suspend construction and have an environmental impact study formulated followed by a disappearing task force to review the situation. There are 400 signatures on the petition so far.
"One alternative, as I see it, would be
to let the contractors keep the mon,2,"
said Marcus, speaking to solutions, and
with the several weeks of manpower left,
have Totem fill in the holes that they
dug."
"At least what should happen," Marcus
said, offering a compromise, "if the lights
are erected, would be to turn off all the
lights except at the intersections."
Director of Facilities Jerry Schillinger
says that each light standard will have a
250 watt, mercury-vapor lamp on it. The
posts will be 150 feet apart and the
electrical circuitry will be such that one
light can be on, the next two off, or two
on and one off, with automatic controls
on their brightness.
"I think the lights are needed for safety
and security reasons," he said.
· "There have been several sexual assaults
this year on that section of unlit freeway,"
said health care specialist Janet Stein of
the Women's Clinic. Although she was
Light standards being installed on the Parkway
10
concerned about the ecological effects of
the lights, mobility and safety were a bigger concern. "It's really a drag to have to
strategically plot how you're going to get
from one place to another place without
getting raped," she said.
"People are fooling themselves," said
student Jay Kent, "if they think that the
lights are going to make it safer for cars
or people. They won't help."
President McCann said that the lights
will be erected because they are needed.
"In an urban situation, lights are nice,"
said McCann. "After the lights go up,
then if people don't want to turn them
on, that's okay."
Expressing perhaps the simplest of philosophical viewpoints one student said,
"At night it should be dark."
Photos censored
Two photographs by graduating senior
Marty Oppenheimer were not, included in
the Graduation Booklet because, in the
words of Dean Lynn Patterson they were,
"just the kind of stuff which gives those
legislators who don't feel kindly toward
us more fuel for their fires." It was Patterson who made the final decision to censor
the photos.
'
The photos in question are now on exhibit in the Library art gallery. Dean
Charles Teske solicited comments about
the photos before deciding to approve
their showing in the gallery. One photograph depicts Oppenheimer lying in a
forest clearing. His genitals are bloody. A
small girl-child is standing next to him. In
the background there is a woman with a
rifle. The woman is naked. The second
photo depicts Oppenheimer underwater
wearing an overcoat, which is opened reVE-aling his small penis.
Originally Graduation DTF member
Trey lmfeld approved the photographs for
publication after a long discussion with
Oppenheimer that included the threat to
"douse the booklets with gasoline" and
burn them unless his photos were
included.
On Wednesday, May 30, Patterson
found out that the photographs were in
the booklet and, after consulting with a
few people, decided that they would have
to be removed.
The next day, Thursday, Oppenheimer
returned to campus after a visit to Seattle.
A friend informed him that he should go
down to the Library basement print shop.
Upon arrival there he discovered two students leafing through each issue of the
booklet and tearing out the page with his
work on it.
Oppenheimer sees this as just one more
confrontation in a iung series of censorship battles that have happened in the last
years; the Doug Kahn-Dave Carnahan
dispute, the lack •,f ouhlicitv for ohotogCooper Point Journal
rapher Judy Dater's work, and the use of
the fourth floor art gallery.
"When I went to the DTF they supported my decision," Patterson explained,
"and I would have brought it to them before the decision was made if there was
time, but there wasn't."
"I think the censorship of those photographs," Oppenheimer said, "reflects the
general low quality of that publication."
They both agreed that there needs to be
a DTF or somebody to look into the
whole issue of campus publications and
who has the right to censor them.
"I guess there's not much I can do,"
Oppenheimer said in conclusion, "I don't
feel like trying to call a hearing board or
anything like that. I could put out the fifteen or twenty dollars and have the
photographs printed up myself. Then send
them to each of the legislators. I might do
that, with the college's name on the
photos."
Rapist convicted
A Tacoma man received a 5 to 20 year
sentence in Thurston County Superior
Court Thursday in connection with the
April 7 rape of an Evergreen student.
Twenty-year-old Steve Hopkins pled
guilty to charges that he raped the woman
after picking her up hitchhiking near the
intersection of Kaiser and Mud Bay roads
and driving her to a secluded area near
campus.
A car matching the description given by
the victim was subsequently spotted in the
Evergreen Modular Housing area, and
after a dramatic escape attempt involving
Thurston County Sheriff's deputies with
drawn guns, Hopkins was apprehended.
At the time of his arrest Hopkins was on
probation in Tacoma, and had left Pierce
County without permission.
Superior Court Judge Gerry Alexander,
in sentencing Hopkins, recommended that
he be given a chance at vocational rehabilitation. Hopkins has been transported
to the Shelton Correctional Institute to
begin his term. Sheriff's Deputy Mark
Curtis stated that it is possible Hopkins
will undergo psychiatric observation.

Bradshaw said he wants it to be known
that "Nobody told me to jump and I was
not trying to kill myself. I'm not that kind
of guy. I was pretty drunk at the time."
Bradshaw said he doesn't remember climbing over the railing or the fall. "I only recall waking up in the hospital. I want to
get out of here so I can see what
happened."
A similar accident occurred April 17,
when student Brian Murphy fell from
Dorm building B.
Security Chief Rod Marrom feels two
such accidents should provide sufficient
warning to the community to abide by
common sense safety standards. Marrom
said the railings are there for safety reasons, and both accidents were a result of
carelessness.
The Student Services and Activities Fees
Review Board S&A Board) released its
allocations for the 1974-1975 school year
June 3. The S&A Board allocated slightly
over $57,000 to 23 campus organizations.
The Cooper Point Journal received
$7,530, the highest amount of funding.
The Journal was followed closely by
Artworks which received $7,462 to sponsor ten art workshops per quarter.
The other campus organizations were
allocated the following amounts: Bus System, $5,130; KAOS, $4,393; Gig Commission, $3,500; Speaker's Bureau, $3,150;
NASA, $3,080; Women's Center, $2,935;
UJAMMA, $2,852; MECHA, $2,850; Input Resource Senter,$2,677; Asian Coalition, $2,600; Coffee House, $2,402; Gay

$500; Yacht Club, $500; Mud Bay Ruggers, $432; Folk Dance, $300; Day Care,
$184; Basketball, $175; and Soccer, $150.
According to S&A Board member Art
Moore the S&A allocations were based
on a no-growth philosophy; since the college isn't growing in student population
next year the organizations serving students don't need to grow either. Three organizations survived the allocation process
without budget cuts, the Bus System,
Outdoor Equipment, and Soccer.
UJAMMA headed the list of budget
cuts. UJAMMA's $16,000 request was reduced to under $3,000, while its office
supplies budget was reduced to a standard
$470; the $12,000 they budgeted for special events was reduced to $900 and their
request for video and audio tapes was
halved . Friday Nite Films was given
enough money to obtain their first quarter
films with the expectation that they would
raise enough money from their film showings to continue throughout the year.
A meeting will be held at 3 p.m. today
in Activities bldg. rm. 110 for persons
wishing to discuss the 1974-1975 allocations of S&A funds.

seling Services to explore how Evergreen
students, desiring teaching credentials, can
best transfer or enter schools who offer
accreditation. Educators participating represented Pacific Lutheran University,
University of Puget Sound, Seattle University. University of Washington, Western Washington State College, and
Central Washington State College.
A memo from Helena Knapp, Career
Life Planning Counselor, explained the
results of the conference.
It was discovered that the University of
Washington, Western Washington State
College and Seattle University offer alternative programs in teacher education similar to Evergreen's coordinated study programs.
In discussing transfer procedures, it was
agreed that the best time to enter a
teacher accreditation program from Evergreen is at a post-BA level since that
would reduce the number of requirements
to be met. It also allows the student to
study for both the provisional and final
certificates. It was also recommended that
a student who wishes to transfer should
do so in his last year if he wants a secondary certification and for the last two
similar to those during Evergreen's first
year. Some specific recommendations are
directed at budget heads, staff and housing people in relation to Non-whites.
Martin said that the DTF had "a spirit
of cooperation and that there were serious
, dedicated people working on it. There are
strong ethnic implications included."
Martin summarized the report as "a
c three to five year plan that should affect
minorities for a long time to come."
:Educators visit
There is some good news for Evergreen
students looking toward a teaching career.
May 23, faculty members from six departments of education at Washington institutions of higher learning visited Evergreen
to give feedback and information on their
teacher accreditc1tion programs.

years for elementary certificati'on.
In the area of requirements versus electives for certification, all the schools rep.resented stated that none of our programs
at Evergreen would lead directly to waivers for required courses.
One of the entrance requirements to
certification programs will soon be demonstrated teaching potential through
practical experience. Evergreen internships
are therefore very helpful to the student
wishing to become an accredited teacher.
Knapp felt the conference was encouraging and that Evergreen students, with a
little planning, should have no difficulty
getting certified while still getting a substantial portion of their education at Evergreen.
ICo-op alters
The Office of Cooperative Education
has a few new procedures for students
planning summer internships. Students
who will be interning through contracted
studies must complete both a Learning
Contract and an Internship Agreement.
Beginning this Summer Quarter, contracted studies interns must also clear
their learning contracts with the Co-op
office before submitting them to the Registrar.
Students are asked to bring both the
learning contract and internship agreement to the Co-op office for processing.
Learning contracts must be filled no later
than June 28 and cleared with the Co-op
office.

In a letter addressed to "Respon~ible
Official. Office of Facilities," faculty
member Richard Cellarius presented criticisms of the draft environmental impact
statement (EIS) on the new Communications Laboratory building. Funding for the
building was approved by the legislature
during its April 5t•ssion .
Cellarius, although commending the
college for preparing the statement, felt
the draft did not meet the criteria required
of an EIS. He stated that a final ElS was
not included in the recommendations for
legislation as required by law. The present
EIS is only a draft.
Cellarius also felt the draft did not meet
content requirements. Specifically, the descripticm of the project and the description of the characteristics of the site are,
he says, incomplete and incorrect.

Cooper Point Journal
ASH ' s problems continue
BY STAN SHORE
In the midst of charges and countercharges concerning Adult Student Housing (ASH) the Seattle Area office of the
Housing and Urban Development (HUD)
department has suddenly been ordered to
stop their investigation of ASH at Evergreen. A surprise telegram from Washington, D.C. to the Seattle office of HUD
last Friday stated that the national office
in D.C. would handle the case from now
on, according to a Seattle HUD spokesman .
In the meantime, the Journal. continuing an investigation of its own, has uncovered a number of areas where ASH at
Evergreen has violated both its agreement
with HUD and its agreements with the
college.
Before they received the telegram from
Washington, the Seattle office was looking into charges that ASH-Evergreen had
illegally raised thdr rental rates without
informing HUD. According to an edict
handed down by the Seattle office, if
ASH-Evergreen had raised their rents
above the initial occupancy rate (the rate
when the project first opened in the autumn of 1973), they were to roll them
back. At the time they were taken off the
case, the Seattle HUD office was investigating whether ASH-Evergreen had raised
their rents.
"No, in fact we've lowered them,"
stated Earl Blomquist, manager of ASH.
"On paper it might look like they're
charging less," a student who preferred to
remain anonymous countered, "but you
know, and everyone who lives here
knows, that they're charging more."
Problems at the top
Adult Student Housing Incorporated
has nine housing complexes completed
and some more on the way. They are located not only in Washington but in Oregon, Tennessee, California and Hawaii.
HUD is presently conducting a nationwide
audit of ASH Inc . Among the charges
they are investigating is that the directors
of ASH are making excessive salaries,
rents at ASH complexes are too high,
ASH is making a profit through
subsidiary companies owned by the same
people who own ASH, and the cost of
managing the ASH complexes is not competitive, but priced to benefit the owners.
Bob Baker, the regional director for
ASH and the man responsible for overseeing the Evergreen complex, commented
that he did not know anything about the
charges against the national directors
except what he read in the newspapers.
"It's not my area of responsibility," he
stated. He also assured students that
June 4, 1974
whatever possible corruption is going on
at the national level does not affect Evergreen ASH.
"These Evergreen complexes do not
make a profit," Baker maintained. In fact,
according to Baker, the Ever12;reen apartments are one of the worst ASH complexes in. the country. It is marked by an
extremely high annual turnover rate of
150 percent, as well as a summer vacancy
rate of almost 90 percent. Baker also
pointed out that each ASH complex must
pay for itself.
Non-students in ASH
Among ASH's illegal actions has been
the renting of apartments to non-students.
This violated both their agreement with
HUD and with Evergreen. When asked to
comment on this issue, manager Blomquist at first denied it altogether. Later
Baker admitted the charge wa!> true, but
that there was an explanation.
"It's not that difficult to get in here,"
Baker admitted, referring to non-students
getting into ASH-Evergreen. When confronted with the fact that non-students
live at ASH, both Baker and Blomquist
became very evasive, referring to the fact
that some of the non-students were formerly students or that they are rooming
with students.
"The people who were here from Fort
Lewis," Baker said, finally beginning to
face the issue, " . . . well, we've tried to
put a damper on that because it did create
an uproar:, here because they were ob-
viously different from the students of The
Evergreen State College, different philosophies ... "
"Instead of saying to someone who
came in who wasn't a student, Take off,'
they would come in here; we'd say 'are
you a student;' they'd say 'no' and we'd
say 'listen how'd you like to take some
cla~se~."' Baker said, explaining how the
Fort Lewis personnel got in ASH in the
lir<,t place. "We'd try to talk them into
taking some classes. Try to talk them into
meeting our requirements. The reason for
that, as I've said, is so that we can increase the occupancy, to be able to lower
the rental rates."
"They've all told us that they plan to
go to school." Baker continued, "they
haven't all registered yet, but they've told
us they would."
The students have a voice
All the time we spoke with Baker, he
maintained that he was only doing what
he could to make things easier for the students here. Although all ASH complexes
moved to per unit rather than per student
rental rates at the beginning of this academic year, he said that ht! saw to it that
Evergreen's rents stayed low. He has tried
to bring in non-students in order to fill up
the apartments, a crucial first step before
rents could be lowered . Another example
Baker gives of his generosity is his fight
with the Puget Sound Power and Light

Graduation 1974
BY STAN SHORE
PHOTOS BY BRAD POKORNY
Approximately 360 seniors scurried to
the low grassy hill where they sat during
the graduation ceremony on Sunday. Red
Square was filled with rented chairs, students and parents, all gathered to see the
seniors receive their bachelor's degree . Although it seems funny to say, the sun did
come out from behind a bank of clouds
just as the ceremony began.
"It looks like a Renoir painting," one
student said, commenting on colorful
windblown costumes that the undergraduates were wearing and the joyful atmosphere that permeated the square.
On the platform, Sharron Ryles served
as mistress of ceremonies and introduced
Academic Dean Lynn Patterson. Patterson
introduced President Charles McCann
who summarily graduated the seniors.
'With the power invested in me from
the state of Washington through the
Board of Trustees," he quickly said, " .. .I
confer upon you a bachelor of arts de- ·
gree."
A few students later commented how
mechanical McCann's "conferring" had
seemed to them.
"It was really like a propuction line
thing," the student said, '"I confer on you
. . .' he says, then 'Next! I confer on you.
Next!' You know it just seemed kind of
hurried."
Faculty members roamed around, some
sitting in the chairs assembled for the occasion, some over by the potluck preparations. Only a handful wore their doctoral
robes, as the President did. Rob Knapp
wore a very colorful red and blue one;

Faculty member Peter Elbow wore only

The second speaker was faculty member Maxine Mimms who told the
graduates that she hoped they were not
"prepared for a job, Qr prepared for graduate school, but prepared to live."
Mimms was dressed in a long white gown
and wore a brown feathered boa. At the

end of her speech she quoted sarcastically
from an "immortal" saying: "Humpty
Dumpty sat on the wall, Humpty Dumpty
had a great fall, and all the king's horses
and all the king's men, couldn't put
Humpty together again." At that point
she turned the microphone over to faculty
member Dumi Maraire, who played the
marimbas joyfully.
After the speakers, as a special surprise
award, Bill Aldridge came to the platform
and conferred upon the dog Peanut Butter
an honorary bachelorette. The dog, who
has spent much time on campus the last
three years, was not able to accept the
award in person because - Aldridge
intimated - he seemed to be off mating
somewhere.
Faculty member AI Wiedemann then
delivered the "Legend of the Geoduck."
The story told how the Spirit Geoduck inspired the academicians who came to this
land. The story was filled with puns off
the geoduck's - shall we say - phallic
shape. The Chamber Singers followed
with three songs including a jazzy rendition of the "Geoduck Blues."
In President McCann's closing remarks,
which were brief and in a light vein, he
commended the graduates for being "good
students." He said that other classes the
first and second year were marked by the
ability to talk and to be enthusiastic. The
third year, on the other hand, brought
that much-needed quality which the
school could not exist without, "good students."
McCann, in closing, exhorted the students to "not worry." Denying that the
B.A.'s only value was as a job ticket, he
told the students, "Lynn Patterson said
that today it wouldn't rain and now I'm
telling you not to worry!"
Four long tables of salad, bread, and
cheeses were stripped down to empty

I always thought would be good."

Evergreen and the Legislature
BY DEAN KATZ
"One thing the legislature ought to
remember . . . is that we built this whole
college campus for the amount of money
they are building a domed stadium in Seattle for. " - Dick Nichols, Director of
Public Relations, The Evergreen State
College.
Was fiscal austerity the real issue behind Evergreen's image problems with the
legislature those first few years, or were
there more complex political squabbles
underground that never surfaced7
Many people still think Evergreen came
close to being shut down or turned into a
police academy as a result of the 1973
legislative session. Other political observers think the administration at Evergreen
was simply scared of its own shadow, and
it showed.
The report of the visiting Accreditation
Committee suggested that the college need
not be so defensive about its educational
philosophy. The Evergreen administration
frequently gives the appearance of a per-·
son constantly looking back to make sure
no one is going to attack. Some legislative
bullies took advantage of that apparent
insecurity.
The Journal recently conducted interviews with a number of political and administrative figures in state government
and education, in an attempt to analyze
the reasons for Evergreen's past image
problems with the legislature.
One of those interviewed, Dick Nichols,
Evergreen's director of public relations,
said that many of the college's problems
"were here before the students ever came."
Evergreen was characterized as a "hippie
college" before the campus even opened
its doors, according to Nichols.
He contends that the image Evergreen's
founders depicted was of a no-grade, noclasses kind of institution, which "implies
you're going to have a bunch of
ne'er-do-wells running around gazing at
their navels."
Conservati~e heavyweights
If Evergreen's administration and faculty had not tended to be so honest and
zealous in the beginning, and had been
more vague and general (i.e. bureaucratic)
about Evergreen's goals and teaching
methods, Nichols theorized, the college
might not have suffered quite as much
from the blows of conservative heavyweights in the legislature.
Charles McCann, president of Evergreen, said he thinks the "primary factor"
in the legislature's negative reaction to Evergreen was fiscal conservatism.

Evergreen students are people like everybody else."
McCann does admit a failure on his
part to work with the legislature the first
few years, and agreed it may have had
something to do with the critical attitudes
of some legislator& toward Evergreen.
"I was so bent on getting the place going ... I just didn't put in the time to get
legislators acquainted on an individual
basis as to what Evergreen was about."
None of the people interviewed seemed
to know for sure why some legislators,
generally conservative Republicans, seemed
to have it in for Evergreen from day one.

on the commonality you have in your
common objective - you're turning out

institution as an educational institution.
You are not unique in being innovative."
The absence of anyone on the hill representing Evergreen the first two years
was construed by some legislators as an
insolent attitude attributable only to the
fact that Evergreen must have thought it
was so righteous, that it didn't have to
show up to lobby like the rest of the state
institutions.
Catch-22
Many people lay the blame on McCann's shoulders. To some extent, the
criticism is justifiable, but McCann is
caught in a Catch-22 of sorts.
Dick Nichols said of McCann, "In being
a retiring sort of person, McCann has had
a distaste for the glad-handing, back-slapping, hail-fellow-well-met typical PR behavr6r. I don't think it's in his personal
style to behave that way."
So while McCann can be criticized for
not taking part in the type of lobbying activities that perpetuate the American system of pork barreled budgets, he deserves
credit for the disdain which permeates his
attitude toward traditional politicking.
One rumor ground out in the political
gossip mill was a story speculating that
top Evergreen administrators made a serious political mistake by refusing to hire
C. Montgomery Johnson, the former
chairman of the State Republican Party,
for a faculty position. As the story goes,
Johnson and some other state lawmakers
were irked by McCann's refusal to submit
to the pressure of political patronage practices. McCann refused tt.J comment on the
incident.
Hidden back in the corner next to McCann's office is a man named Jim Sainsbury. HE is the president's administrative
assistant (read lobbyist).
Sainsbury is paid to lobby for the college, but he is one of the most non-political persons the legislature has ever had
the pleasure of listening to. There are
those people however, who question his
effectiveness because of his apparent political naivete and casualness regarding legislative matters.
Lured away just in time for the 1974
legislative session, Sainsbury was caught
unprepared to deal with the massive public relations problem Evergreen had already developed.
Sainsbury's mistake
This writer watched Sainsbury in action
a number of times during last January's
session. Once, when the college's proposed communications building was
before the Senate Higher Education
Committee for review, Sainsbury was
asked if he would like to comment on the
$6 million request. A casual "no" was his

response . The requested appropriation
never got out of the Senate.
Sainsbury acknowledg"!S his mistake,
and confesses that he was confused as to
where the college stood at the time of the
hearing. He apparently assumed that he
was going to have to present major testimony at another hearing, so he was saving the beans to spill later. His lesson was
learned quickly: When dealing with the
legislature, one never makes assumptions.
Did Evergreen alter its attitudes and
methods regarding students, curriculum or
planning in any way as a result of its
legislative complexion problem?
Nichols said he, "hopes we never fundamentally altered the character of the institution - fired a faculty member, got
rid of a staff member, didn't put a program in the curriculum because somebody
was worried that a legislator or somebody
would get mad about it."
Streaks of color
There are those members of the Evergreen community who would get angry at
such a response. A number of people who
contributed to Evergreen's progressive
image "problem" were fired last year,
after the legislative session, under the
guise of "reorganization."
The Gay Center, at one point during
the legislative session, had its funds frozen
until after the Evergreen budget was approved.
The Evergreen administration just about
lost it altogether when the staff of the
Journal, in one last streak of color printed
a photograph of a naked man with
nothing more than a tape recorder in
front of him.
__lrying to_Q!g_more deeply into the rea-
sons behind Evergreen's image problem is
like trying to find out about war operations in Cambodia. The Pentagon doesn't
know, the congress doesn't know, and the
President doesn't know what is really going on. But somebody must be doing
something right.
No sandbox speeches
While every other state college and university in the state is losing students, the
legislature appropriated more money to
increase Evergreen's enrollment. Evergreen
was the only institution in the state that
received major capital construction funds
during the most recent legislative session.
No conservative legislators made "poets
playing in the big sandbox" speeches
about Evergreen either.
McCann deserves recognition for Evergreen's improved complexion. He spent
the entire two weeks of the last session
"on the hill." and it paid off with a $6
million appropriation for construction of
the new communications building.
Dan Evans commented on Evergreen's
current political standing. "I do think
things are looking up for Evergreen.
People are getting more accustomed to the
different type of educational process offered at Evergreen. We are beginning to
see some of the successes of Evergreen,
both in drawing students to the college
and the success of those who have graduated."
The enormous success of the internship
program is also a reason for the college's
higher standing. Probably the most important reason for Evergreen's political
achievements of late however are the students.
Involvement won't hurt

does exist in a flexible structure, if given
the nurturing and encouragement to
grow, is probably the single most important reason for Evergreen's improved
image.
Can students help or hurt Evergreen's
political image7
The Governor thinks they can, "depending on how they do it. Something
that is threatening or kooky, or out-ofthe-ordinary obviously doesn't sit well
with the legislators. But involvement in
the political process certainly won't hurt."
McCann doesn't agree . "During sessions,
the legislature is such a pressure cooker,
I'm not even sure I help. Pressure lobbying by students does more harm than
good." McCann thinks letters are the
most effective form of communicating
with legislators, especially if written by
parents.
Rep. John Hendricks, whose district includes the college campus, said, "The best
way to effect change for students is by example. That way, the legislators will see,
in their wisdom, that they were right in
opening the college."

Cooper Point Journal
Center Courtyard in
production
BY MATT GROENING
Filmmaking is probably the most demanding and frustrating art form ever devised. The expense alone involved in the
making of a movie usually limits the artist to shooting super-S home movies of his
girl friend in the nude or making boring
documentaries about the local bus station.
Most film students have fantasies of directing lavish Hollywood productions, but
after graduation from college they usually
end up being gas station attendants, television repairmen, or film teachers.
In spite of this discouraging situation,
student filmmaking continues, and one of
the most ambitious film projects ever attempted by students is happening at Evergreen. Center Courtyard is the title of a
dramatic feature-length motion picture
being made by Evergreen students Frankie
Foster and Richard Speer. They have been
working on the script and making active
preparations for the movie since 1970,
and are now getting ready to go into full
production this summer and fall, with
completion set for the following spring.
"Center Courtyard deals with the problems and teelings ot being 17 years old in
the year 1970," said Foster, who is directing and coproducing the two-hour film.
"It will make strong statements about
suburbia, secondary education, and reform in general."
The story is about two high school seniors who combat the conservative attiJune 4, 1974
tudes of their school in an attempt to establish educational reform. "The relationship of the two main characters and their
totally different reactions to the same
problems is very important to the movie,"
stated Speer.
McCarthy High School·
The significance of the title Center
C9urtyard refers to the fictitious McCarthy High School where the action takes
place. "In the center of the school is a
courtyard where the students can escape
from the teachers and pressures of the
school," Foster said. 'The center courtyard serves as a sanctuary where the students are able to talk in peace. Several of
the key scenes of the movie take place
there ."
'The film will be an adventure from beginning to end," he continued. 'There is a
lot of violence - both physical and emotional - and although the events are unusual, they will be depicted as realistically
as possible. The film will contain moments of comical absurdity as a jarring
counterpoint to its message of painful
tragedy, but most of all the film will entertain and evoke emotions in a way only
movies can."
Foster and Speer believe one of the
most exciting parts of the movie will be
an elaborate chase sequence between two
autos and two bicycles. It will include a
high speed car crash and several explosions. Foster said it was being painstakingly planned out and hoped it would be
"as exciting as the chases in Bullit or The
French Connection."
Other people working on Center Courtyard include former Evergreen students
Malcolm Brenner, who is doing the cinematography, and Tim Killen, who is doing the sound. "In my opinion," Speer
said, "they are the best technicians to
have been at Evergreen." Muggs Plummer

Nationwide acclaim

Speer organized the First Annual Computer Film Festival at Evergreen last
March, which was the first of its kind in
the world. The top computer filmmakers
in the country attended the festival, which
received recognition in many periodicals
- including Popular Photography and
the Filmmakers' Newsletter. Foster said a
selection of the films may be shown as a
nationwide TV special on PBS next year.
Center Courtyard will be in full production during the summer and fair quarters
o_f 1974. Evergreen students are being conSidered for various positions in the production, including actors, actresses, extras, technicians, film crew, and stunt
men. Interested people should contact

Journal Points
The nation
The past year has seen perhaps more
bad news for Americans than any period in recent history. Here in the U.S.
our attention has been focused primarily on our staggering domestic difficulties; a crippled President battling impeachment, spiraling prices and wages,
an increase in crime and terrorism, a
major breakdown of public confidence
in government. Because of this, the turmoil taking place in other parts of the
world, while not going completely unnoticed, has definitely played second
fiddle in the news to our national problems.
This is probably the way it should
be, for a nation, like an individual, cannot be effective in dealing with outside
forces until it comes to terms with its
own internal difficulties. It is interesting, however, to step back and take a
sweeping look at some of the important
political changes which have transpired
in other parts of the globe.
In the last several months there has
been a change of government in seven
nations; nations varying in global influence and importance, but all having
some relations of significance with the
United States. Golda Meir resigned as
Prime Minister of Israel in the midst of
BY NICHOLAS H. AlliSON
a political crisis ignited by Israel's unpreparedness for last year's Yom Kippur
war. Edward Heath, Britain's Prime
Minister, was ousted in emergency elections called in the midst of a paralyzing
economic crisis. Spain's Prime Minister
luis Carrero Blanco, the aging Franco's
chosen successor, was assassinated apparently by Basque nationalists furthering the growing political discord
in that nation. French President Georges
Pompidou died unexpectedly and precipitated a fierce power struggle which
apparently heralds the end of the
Gaullist tradition there. Portugal's dictatorship of nearly half a century was
toppled over the issue of African colonial independence by that rarest of animals, a left-wing military coup. German
Prime Minister Willy Brandt, once renowned at home and abroad for his
Ostpolitik (policy of political rapprochement with East Germany), resigned in
the face of growing political unrest and
a major spy scandal. Finally, the Canadian Parliament, through a vote of no
confidence, forced Prime'Minister Pierre
Trudeau to call elections, his economic
policies being the crucial issue.
Even taking into account the VICISSItudes of coincidence and normal inter-

.-ast€a1sl;
national politics, the combination of all
these seems a bit much. It is worthwhile
to examine how these changes of leadership are causally connected with one another and what significance the connections may have for global affairs in general and for America.
Unless we are to resort to supernatural explanations, the death of President
Pompidou is surely an isolated event,
connected to the others only through a
coincidence of timing. The downfalls of
Trudeau and Heath, however, were
both clearly economic in origin. Heath
was voted out after failing to deal effectively with the crippling labor strikes in
Britain, while the Canadian issue was
the Trudeau government's handling of
social security and welfare money.
The two Iberian cases were both
caused rather directly by the rising confidence of rebellious subjects toward
their imperialist rulers; in Spain the
Basques, isolated in the North and having their own customs, culture and language, believe they should be a separate
state; and Portugal's African colonies
are actively fighting for their independence. (Although it was not the African
colonies themselves who executed the
coup, the junta's leader, Gen. Antonio
Spinola, was ousted from the Caetano
dictatorship because of his critical· views
towards Portugese colonial policy,
which was the crucial issue of the coup.)
The remaining two resignations, Meir
in Israel and Brandt in West Germany.
are unified in that they both were precipitated by an issue of security against
a neighboring political enemy. Mrs.

Meir and her government, particularly
Defense Minister Moshe Dayan, were
blamed for Israel's lack of military preparedness when Egypt attacked across
the Suez canal last December; Brandt
resigned when one of his closest aides
and advisers was exposed as an East
German spy, an ironic end for a man
whose popularity rested largely on his
success in moving towards more normal
relations with East Germany.
The final' political outcomes of all
these changes are still up in the air at
present; even in England and Portugal,
where the new governments have been
established for several weeks, the shape
and tone of their policies are only now
beginning to emerge clearly. What
broad conclusions can we draw at this
stage?
The most sensational and tempting
possibility is that these coups, assassinations and resignations are the first signs
of the complete crumbling breakdown
of Western civilization. But on closer
examination this appears unlikely. Most
of the changes are hardly revolutionary;
and seem to stem more from short-term
public dissatisfaction with their governments than from a slow erosion of order and sanity on earth.
It is true, however, that the race is
facing some new and troubling issues,
and the beginning of our adjustment to
these factors is sending out shock waves
and tremors which have at least contributed to the many governmental
shakeups of the last few months.
The most ominous and far-reaching
of these new issues has three important
sides to it. First is the long-foreseen but
still unexpected worldwide oil shortage,
demonstrating as it does the exhaustibility of other essential natural resources.
Coupled closely with this new realization of our dependence on finite ~up
plies has been the emergence of many
third-world nations, formerly docile
~uppliers of the industrialized world's

Commentary
Evergreen: a dream
deferred
BY LEE RIBACK
When I first came to Evergreen I had this idea that my program
would just be charged-up and ready to go; on a retreat,
advance, move right into business, whatever. This was not the
case. It was like a return to junior high; all the needs of the program were already "foreseen" and "dealt with" ahead of time. Unfortunately, those weren't our needs. After awhile I thought, since
this isn't the place I visited, or read about in the handbook, it
must be me. After all, a year as a worker had probably disoriented me from academics.
This wasn't the case, and it wasn't just the program I was in. I
beg~n meeting and talking with other folks whose programs
weren't working. Perhaps, we felt, it was the faculty's inability in
dealing with a new system after so many years of "regular''· academics. Once again, this wasn't the case. Well, we supposecl, it
must be some kind of conspiracy on the part of the administration. Curriculum planning and the cutbacks in the spring of '73
did nothing to dispel the idea.
This year I got the idea that some changes could be made.~
all, this is a college dedicated to change, alternatives, opent\~9;
isn't that what it says in the catalog? All the folks at the lap
needed to hear was that all was not well and steps would be taken
to clear the air and make some changes. Well, they weren't listtj"':
ing. There were "press conferences," meetings, DTFs. I went td '!JO
many meetings where "tough" questions were asked, if the question wasn't sloughed off, then came the, 'We'll get on it right
away, if there's really a problem." Nothing, no change, no commitment.
June 4, 1974
raw materials, as self-aware and independent political entities, ready to use
the bargaining power of their resources
for political and economic leverage in
the world. The third major facet of the
resource in general, and the oil crisis in
particular, has been a worldwide
economic disturbance as prices shoot
higher, money pours into previously impoverished nations, and rich Western
powers struggle with each other for
dwindling supplies.
During times of crisis here at home, it
is easy to let our attention stray from
the politics of other nations in order
that we can concentrate on solutions to
our own problems. But political developments around the world continue regardless of our wishes, and by relinquishing interest and concern for these
events, we give up one more aspect of
our control of this nation's course.
Mr. Allison, registered as a student for
fall, will be writing editorials regularly for
the Journal.
Insensitive, bureaucratic, I thought. That's not the case either.
Everyone here's a nice guy (ms. as the case may be). From top to
bottom you couldn't ask for a nicer crew; the president, vice-presidents, deans, Business Office folks, etc. But there is something
wrong. These aren't the dynamic, creative types it takes to make
this place jump. No one is really taking care of business. There
weren't any systems designed ahead of the college's opening to
deal with access to equipment and personnel. There hasn't been
any attempt to equalize faculty in the face of educational need.
There still isn't any policy or procedure to hire people who could
teach, relate to people, and otherwise operate here, rather than
just anywhere. There isn't any process or organized way to bring
things together. The mass outpouring of information is going
towards greater, not less synergy (diffusion).
Individual studies have been cut to accommodate only 10 percent of the community next fall. Evergreen's own self-study shows
that an average of over 20 percent of the community has taken
out individual contracts in the fall for the last two years. Well,
I'm sure that next fall's curriculum was really "well planned."
There isn't a program for me, I'll be a senior. I've changed my
plans and signed up anyway. Maybe I shouldn't have, and like
any bad job moved on~ Maybe some other folks should have
moved on and let this [lace become, instead of become a dead
end.
This college has b~'me a synergetic environment, geared
against creativity. When was the last time you did anything really
creative or felt really sat sfied with something you did while at the
college? This place doe 'thump. It isn't going anywhere. It isn't
a reflection of the expect~tions of the rest of the "outside" world,
or even our own.

S&A violations charged
BY TOM GRAHAM
The Campus Activities Fund Disappearing Task Force (DTF), charged with making recommendations on expenditures of
campus activities funds in the 1974-1975
school year, is moving towards completion of its responsibilities. The Campus
Activities Fund is com'posed of fees paid
by students each quarter for student services. The DTF has considered charges
made by the student Services and Activities (S&A) Fees Review Board concerning
alleged illegal actions by the administration. The DTF then solicited legal advice
from the college lawyer, assistant state attorney general Richard Montecucco, in
; making its recommendations.
Susan Wooley, executive secretary of
: the S&A Board, and Assistant Director of
· Student Services AI Rose presented the
DTF with a memo May 22, charging that
' the attitudes of the Evergreen administration "violated the intent of the legislature"
by allocating service and activities funds
without soliciting student input. Wooley
explained that the S&A Board had been
talking with the administration about the
issue for months, and "made the statement out of a real sense of frustration."
The memo included the S&A Board's
interpretation of the intent of the legislature as outlined in a section of an April
27, 1971 legislative debate on the tuition
and fees measure. The debate questioned
· the definition of a section of the law
: which requires that service and activities
: fees be used for the express purpose of
; funding student activities and programs.
• Representative King, the prime sponsor of
· the bill, then explained what he believed
' to be the crux of the definition. "I think
: the key is that it be related to a decision
: made by the students," "te said.
Students not t onsulted
The S&A memo ot.tlined instances
: where decisions were made expending
S&A fees without consulting students in' eluding student monies being used to off: set the cost of portfolios and reproducing
student transcripts, and activities fees being held in reserve for phase two of some
facility, and subsidizing of the bookstore
, and food service operations on campus. It
; questioned the use of students' fees to pay
t for staff and faculty identification cards,
: and subsidize food service when staff and
: faculty also use the facility. The S&A
, Board asked whether it would be possible
: to recapture fees spent by incorrect procedures and then reimburse the students.
22
It asked if lack of student input into S&A
fee decisions would negate those decisions
and it queried what the proper process
would be to obtain student input for decisions concerning service and activities
funds.
The DTF in its consideration of the
charges made by the S&A Board consulted Montecucco.
"You have asked what legal effect the
statement in the House Journal between
Representative King and Smythe has concerning the proper expenditure of S&A
fees, wherein part of the questions and
answers contained the following statement: 'must be related to a decision made
by the students.' The statement has absolutely no effect on expenditure of S&A
fees by a board of trustees, " stated Montecucco in a May 27 memo to the DTF.
Montecucco also responded to a question regarding service and activities fees
without student input.
"There are no legal ramifications because legally the students have absolutely
no authority over the expenditure of S&A
fees, " he wrote, "unless this authority has
been delegated to them by the Board of
Trustees."
The College Activities Fund DTF took
no specific action on the charges
presented by the S&A Board in its May
28 meeting. The DTF did seem to conclude, based on Montecucco's statements,
that the administration has the authority
to expend service and activities funds
without consulting students. The DTF
spent most of the May 28 meeting making
formal recommendations on how college
activities funds should be spent in the
Summer funds allocated
'Fhe Services and Activities (S&A)
Fees Review Board made its allocations for Summer Quarter May 28.
The S&A Board, which appropriates monies to student organizations, went through the allocation
process twice before awarding
$19,120 to seven campus organizations.
The Campus Recreation Center
(CRC) received $11,000, the largest
allocation. The CRC could receive
an additional $1,500 tentatively allocated by the board to the Cooper
Point Journal. The Journal's allocation was awarded on the condition
that they receive an additional
$1,500 from another funding source.
Other services funded were the College Activities Build·ing (CAB).
$1.600; the Bus System, $1,670; the
Gig Commission, $1,500; funds for
Transcripts and Portfolios, $900
and the Geoduck Yacht Club, $950.
The Board had previously a11ocated a total of $29,000 for Summer
Quarter activities, but that allocation was reca1led due to a revision
of the projected number of students
attending Summer Quarter. The
original projection had 650 students
paying $29,000 in student fees,
while the present allocations are
based on 450 students paying ap-
proximately $19,000 in fees .
The original allocation of $29,000,
now invalid, presented the S&A
Board with a unique problem.
Though three of eight members attended the May 16 meeting at
which the funds were disbursed,
only two members played a major
role in allocating funds.
The S&A Board does not require
a quorum. There are no set number
of board members that must attend
a board meeting to make decisions
official, and it is possible for one
member of the S&A Board to allocate all of the S&A funds. The nonquorum system was designed to be
an incentive for members to attend
board meetings, since aU members
are liable for S&A Board decisions,
and most board members would not
want to be held responsible for the
decision of one person. The effectiveness of this incentive was cast
into doubt by the board meeting
a1locating $29,000. The initial attendance of three board members
was reduced when one left early in
the deliberation process due to an
appointment conflict. Board members Chris Meserve and Ruth Milner
were left to carry the responsibility
for most of the decisions.

Cooper Point. Journal
1974-1975 school year. Many of these recommendations favored funding projects
mentioned in the S&A Board charges.
The most important recommendation of
the DTF was that monies being set aside
~~~r the proposed phase two of the CAB
(CAB II) be used for a less expensive additional Campus Recreation Building in conjunction with the latest request to the legislature. This building will be less costly
in design and construction expense than
CAB II, saving the college activities fund
20 to 24 thousand dollars a year. The
DTF has yet to recommend how these
funds should be spent next year, but the
meeting reflected these priorities: 1. Day
Care Center remodeling, 2. Messy Arts
expansion or a building for the Organic
Farm, and 3. the new recreation building.
The S&A Board recommended at the
same meetiong that all allocations of service and activities fees be the responsibility
of the S&A Board. Consideration of this
proposal was delayed by the DTF so that
the DTF could complete its charges.

S&A poll results
The Input Resource Senter (IRS) has completed a survey of student priorities for
the Services and Activities (S&A) Fee Review Board. The survey lists
organizations funded by the S&A Board in order of student preference. Both
regular and prospective students were canvassed and separate results were compiled for each.
Here are the priorities of the 130 regular students, and 53 prospective students
surveyed:

Regular and prospective students seemed to have little disagreement over priorities. They agreed on seven of their top ten choices. For the three non-mutual
choices regular students included Artworks, Day Care Center, and the Women's
Center while prospective students instead chose the Coffee House, Gig Commission, and Theatre/Dance. Neither group rated the other's top ten alternatives low.
One Journal staff member remarked as he looked over the choices of the regular
students, 'We seem to be interested in communications, mobility, and farming."
Music and dance activities, minority group organizations, and sports comprised
most of the bottom half of the survey.
There was a marked difference between this year's survey and last year's S&tA
poll. If we speculate that the students who completed last year's poll also were the
regular students of this year's survey we find KAOS remaining as the favorite,
with other organizations gaining or losing favor. Those who lost ground in the
S&A survey were the Bus System, Artworks, Day Care, the Gig Commission, and
Outdoor Equipment. Those who gained favor were the Speaker's Bureau, The
Cooper Point Journal (formerly The Paper), the Organic Farm, and the Women's
Center. Friday Nite Films was new to this year's survey, but debuted high. The
biggest gain was accomplished by the Organic Farm, which moved up seven positions from ninth to second. The Native American Students Association (NASA)
took the biggest loss in popularity down seven places from tenth to seventeenth.
NASA was also rated last by the prospective students.
·
The minority group organizations in order of priority among the regular students were MECHA, NASA. UJAMA and the Asian Coalition. For the prospective
students it was UJAMA, Asian Coalition, MECHA and NASA. Music and dance
groups in order of priority among regular students were Theatre/Dance, Music
and Theatre Ensemble, Jazz Ensemble, and Folk Dancing. For the prospective students Folk Dancing rated above the Jazz Ensemble.

Brief news
Continued from page 12
"One wonders if the person preparing
the statement ever visited the site," wrote
Cellarius, who also questioned a section
dealing with water drainage from the site.
He further stated that the discussion of
alternatives in the draft EIS were "conclusionary," not analytical, and provides the
clearest demonstration that the decision
had been finalized long before any meaningful consideration of the environmental
impact of alternatives.
Cellarius suggested alternative sites
where less vegetation would be destroyed.
The construction on the current site will
entail the clearing of over two acres of
trees and natural vegetation.
Cellarius concluded by requesting that
any further site preparation be stopped
until a revision and finalization of the EIS
is completed.
Director of Pacilities Jerry Schillinger,
one of the "Responsible Officials," said
that he had not as yet talked with Cellarius concerning his complaints. Schillinger
felt that some of the points covered in the
memo were valid, but said "it's unfortunate he didn't talk to us first." He said
that he will meet with Cellarius and other
concerned individuals to talk the matter
over.
He further stated that of the responses
received concerning the EIS from state
agencies, all have been favorable. The college is required to submit the EIS to various agencies by the Washington Environmental Policy Act of 1971.
According to Schillinger, bids for building construction will be accepted during
the latter part of June and a decision
made by July. If all goes on schedule,
construction will begin in August.
Building readied
The 2.6 million dollar seminar building
is now being readied for occupancy starting in June. The new L-shaped building is
located to the side of the Library building.
It will house computer services, Admissions, the Registrar, and serve approximately 20 faculty members. Also in the
building are a number of soundproof
music practice rooms. These rooms are
_specially designed with no right-angle
corners, to provide excellent acoustics.
During a tour of the building one is
struck by the absence of lounges, like the
ones which presently exist in program
areas in the Library. These lounges serve
as gathering places for program activities
as well as making the seminar areas seem
less formal. According to Director of
Facilities Jerry Schillinger, the lack of
lounges has to do with the fact that only
one-fourth of the original building plan
was funded. The lounges were to be in
th~ other three-fourths that were not
built, he explained.
"We cut up buildings fairly often
around here," he related. "If you only get
funding for a fourth, you only build a
fourth."
The part of the building that was constructed was designed primarily for use as
administrative office space.
Deans meet
On Monday, May 20, there was a
meeting of deans, directors and vice presidents concerning Evergreen's part in the
Capital Budget, which is due in the Governor's office July 15.
The purpose of the meeting was to discuss Evergreen's budget priorities. Some

DT F .defined
For the past three weeks the Sounding
Board has been discussing the role of the
Disappearing Task Force (DTF) at Evergreen. DTFs constitute a very important
part of governance. Also investigating the
effectiveness of the DTF was the Revised
Committee on Governance (COG II) and
others: As a result, President Charles McCann, in a memo to the Evergreen com.:_
munity, outlines the procedures for communication in an attempt to make DTFs
less invisible.
Briefly, the guidelines are as follows:
Those in charge of DTFs are required to

Company to stop Puget from demanding
$50 from each student tenant. "I fought
for the students," Baker said.
Baker further explained that students
could take a more aggressive role in helping to make decisions which govern the
complex. They could, according to Baker,
set up a tenant's council that would work
with the manager to make decislons. So
far, though, the students have not organized to that extent and, at this point in
the year, there is little chance of such action until next fall.
"''m saying this at the risk of sounding
vindictive," Baker concluded, "but I have
recently received a bunch of letters full of
complaints that lack validity. They tend
to discredit all the other complaints.
"For example, students complaining
about us raising the rental rates when I've
made all kinds of efforts to lower them. I
can't get it across that we've done that.
They complain about policies and procedures, so we began to change them, and
then they complained we weren't changing
them fast enough, so we changed them
faster. Now I'm getting complaints that
we're changing them so fast that they
can't keep up with them, you know.
"There is a certain degree of un-thoughtout complaints. That might be typical of
this project, because of this school, its
liberal nature. Its progressive educational
systems tends to attract students like
that."

McCann feels that following the set
procedures carefully will help to insure
the effectiveness of DTFs, making them
more visible and thus improving governance and communication at Evergreen.
Guide revised
The Faculty Handbook disappearing
task force (DTF) has issued a draft report
outlining the changes they wish to see in
the handbook. The report centers on section four of the Faculty Handbook, "Fa~
Welcome

'ijJvr~
ulty Policies," and calls for faculty input
before the DTF prepares their final report
for submission to Provost Ed Kormondy.
The DTF revised statements on faculty
recruitment and appointment processes,
development of interdisciplinary competence, and academic freedom and faculty
responsibility. The proposal removed
pages 47 and 48 which deal with faculty
evaluation and reappointment. These
pages were the original centers of controversy since they seemed to reflect an administrative policy change de-emphasizing
the faculty three year contract agreement.
Pages 47 and 48 were replaced with sections from other pages in the "Faculty
Policies" chapter of the handbook, and
added descriptions of the three year evaluation cycle and the faculty portfolio.
Accordig to DTF member Byron Youtz,
the "hot item" in the rough draft is a section requiring faculty members to complete student evaluations within one week
after the end of the quarter. This section
has added emphasis since it is included in
a discussion of reappointment and non-reappointment.

Tales from the Proletariat
by Karl Marx
translated with a foreward by Talcott
Parsons
Vintage, 1974
Unpublished manuscripts by Karl Marx
have been found before - the most noted
example being the Grundrisse which was
discovered in the Soviet Union in 1939.
But none of these manuscripts has had the
effect on Marxist studies that this work,
newly discovered by an English grave digger in a downtrodden area of London, is
likely to have.
Tales from the Proletariat (hereafter
designated as TP) is a collection of four
lengthy stories by Marx. These are, in the
order they appear in the book : The
Masked Marauder, Life and Death of a
Chimney Sweep, Childhood in an English
Swamp, and Betsy Allen (a story about
an English prostitute). All of these stories
are based on conditions in 19th
England.
the hero is called, '"You scurvy foot boy
you greasy barber, you cutthroat groom .
In fact, Tarkington's and Marx's styles
are so similar that the following passage
from Monsieur Beaucaire could easily
have been from one of Marx's stories:
"The cavaliers came straight at him. He
parried the thrust of the first, but the
shock of collision hurled his horse against
the side of the coach.
"'Sacred swine!' he cried bitterly. 'To
endanger a lady, to make this brawl in a
lady's presence. Drive on!' he shouted.
'"No!' cried Lady Mary.
_..The last three stories in TP are rather
morbid (somewhat in the style of Edgar
Allen Poe). They reveal very little that we
did not already know about Marx's personality. This is not the case, however,
with the first of the four stories. The
Masked Marauder is the name of the
main protagonist in that story - a
masked swordsman who reminds one of
Walt Disney's character the Scarecrow.
The story, typically, is about class struggles. Various gangs of ruffians, whom
Marx openly calls Cavaliers and Captains
of Industry, pit themselves against the
noble proletarians and their heroic defender - the Masked Marauder. The plot
climaxes when the enigmatic swordsman
and his sidekick Robin Soot overcome in
a dramatic sword fight the combined energies of the Scarlet Pimpernell (Pimp)
and Mr. Bounderby (Bounder). This obviously symbol~es the final downfall of
the Ancien Regime. At the end, the
Masked Marauder marries no one, a very
unbourgeois ending.
, The lines in The Masked Marauder are
to be marveled at. At the beginning of the
story, Masked, Robin, and several others
put their swords together' and exclaim,
"'From each according to his ability; to
each according to his need!'" This is obviously a poor copy of Alexandre Dumas's famous line: "One for all and all
for one!" When the Marauder first meets
up with Pimp and Bounder he comments,
'"You filthy Capitalist Pigs,"' which immediately reminds one of a line in Booth

The White House Transcripts
Richard M. Nixon
Government Printing Office, 1974
Richard M. Nixon, a former congressman from California and author of The
Six Crises, has recently published a thick
and interesting tale of political horror and
satire. The White House Transcripts, perhaps the most biting look at the political
system since F. Scott Fitzgerald's play The
Vegetable, uses the revived literary form
of dialogue, the first major fictional .:work
to use this form since The Anderson
Tapes, and the first successful blend of
politics and dialogue since Plato's Republit:.
.... ' . ,
Using the White House as a background
on which to play the seamy and sullen
scenes of American political intrigue,
Nixon combines both fiction and fact,
merging fantasy and reality so convincingly that one is led to wonder if Nixon
himself knows one from the other. Theresult is a believable and perhaps prophetic
view of what might happen to the Presidency.
The plot centers around four major
characters; P, the President of the United
States, an aging, indecisive, crude
politician of some experience; D, a nodding and plotting White House counsel;
H, an aide to P, the real power behind
the presidency and an independent, bullying man; and E, an arrogant crypto-Nazi
who helps H in his devious schemes.
The problem they face is this; After a
bitter but unchallenging campaigll" to retain the presidency, Pis told that many of
his closest aides were involved in illegal
political espionage and sabotage during
the campaign. Torn as to whether or not
he should admit to the public that some
of his close advisers and aides were
deeply involved, the President becomes
deeply enmeshed in a wide web of legal
and political movements as he tries to
maintain the image of an honest presidency. But Congress and the press are on
the trail, investigating the wide range of
political corruption which seems to surround, even emit from the inner circles of
the oval office. In short, The Transcripts
details a corrupt administration battling
the forces of the press, the Congress, and
the public in an effort to retain its power.
The dilemma is never resolved.
The reader should realize that The
Transcripts is an important political document. It gives a startling and unsettling
view into the possibilities of what could
happen to the executive branch of government. But one suspects that Nixon is relating more than possibilities. As a concerned public servant he seems to be
warning the American public of the inevitabilities of power and wealth if the democratic system breaks down from lack of
attention and serious concern. Nixon is
saying that these are the· men we will deal
with if we are not on guard, and that
nightmares, like the one portrayed in The
Transcript, only come when America
sleeps.

Good cops and bad cops
Cop movies! nothing but cop movies.
They may be the only thing more
common than Robert Redford movies. In
fact if I could find a backer we could
probably sign up Redford and make the
ne plus ultra cop movie.
Well the cop movies have been playing
Oly of late. A few weeks ago I saw The
New Centurions You remember the film
- an hour and a half of R-rated Adam
12. The best thing it had to offer was
George C. Scott as an aging cop who
couldn't make it on the outside. The film
went downhill from the moment that he
wasted himself. The only thing surprising
about the film was that 1 wouldn't have
thought it ooss1ble to go downhill from
The New Centurions even with George C.
Scott. Without him it was a complete (expletive deleted).
Currently our friends at the Olympic
Theatre are showing Serpico. Serpico is
based on the biography of the honest
New York cop which was a best seller for
about a million weeks. It stars AI Pacino
and is one of the more interesting things
that the genre has produced. A thousandfold improvement on The New Centurions.
Pacino plays Frank Serpico, a . good
cop, one who will not "take." He doesn't
fit in with the rest of the boys in blue,
both because he is presented as the only
honest man in Gotham city, and because
his Greenwich _Village lifestyle clashes
with their black shoes and white sox like
a goy at seder.
Serpico is a good guys and bad guys
story but -with a twist, Serpico is the good
buy but the bad guys are other cops. The
cops who take, who do the easy thing,
who look the other way and at times that
seems to be everybody but Frank Serpico.
In spite of an occasional moment when
Serpico appears to be playing Pollyanna,
the film is tense, exciting, and compelling.
A well done adventure film which while it
probably won't be as well liked by OPD
as The New Centurions will make up for
that with its counter-culture following. I
couldn't help thinking of Dennis Hopper
as a Jack Webb character.
The film details the career of a guy who
just wants to be a good cop (well maybe
a good cop and a hippie but we will let
that ride). He finds that he is surrounded
by corruption so widespread that he
cannot overcome it. He is finally placed
in a position where he is hated and distrusted by all of the men whom he must
work with and lives in fear that he will be
wasted either directly or simply by their
ignoring him sometime when he needs
help.
The film carefully plays Serpico's
unusual appearance and lifestyle for
tension-breaking comedy. In one scene the
police captain is passing out joints so that
the men will "recognize its pungent
aroma." While the other officers in their

Republican cloth suits look uncomfortably
at the strange cigarettes, Serpico, in leathers, expertly licks his and lights up . It is
"good shit."
So is Serpico . If you spend much time
at the movies you're not going to avoid
cop movies this year. So if fascism isn't to
your taste and you don't want to see
Dirty Harry then Serpico could be just the
piece of exciting entertainment you need.
It does everything that a cop movie
should do without falling into the Jack
Webb trap. In fact the only thing it won't
do is make you like cops.

Myths warped
Some recent developments in historiography, like Toynbee Spengler's theory of
historical whimsicality and the controversial Thnakebite Theorem, recognize the
possibility of eddies and backwaters in the
smooth flow of Lyellian-Darwinian uniformitarianism, as it applies to man's ascent from animismistic savages through
religious barbarians to rational scientists.
But most traditional scientists do not see
any necessity to find logical explanations
for phenomena in folklore and myth. Yet
mythology is the earliest ancestor of
science; it seeks to explain the physical
world. By attributing his own powers of
calculation and will to everything in nature outside himself, primitive man rendered natural phenomena comprehensible.
Mythology is connected with religion, but
the two are not synonymous.
But any exact knowledge of mythological minutiae will prove a detriment to
your enjoyment of the Dynarama delights
of Tl1e Golden Voyage of Sinbad. If Schherazade had really told this Sinbad story
to her homicidal hubby, the thousand and
one nights of their trial marriage would
have been considerably abridged. The
film's creators have used the diverse
mythologies of many cultures to create an
amorphous pastiche that would have true
myth aficionados lapsing into collective
unconsciousness .
See the film, if only for a reminder of
those Saturday series of spear-and-sandal
epics, The Sons of Hercules. Each week,
demigods and muscle-bound clods named
Apollo, Poseidon, Petronius, or Jason,
(whose mouth movements never quite
matched the sound track) would vie with
various plug-uglies. Between minor climaxes, a car salesman (the silver-tongued
devil with the fastest mouth west of the
Continental Divide whose dog Storm
perched atop his merchandise) would mesmerize his juvenile audience into desiring
a gleaming modern chariot with white
sidewall tires (or yellow sidewalls if Storm
proved incontinent) . Remember?
