Cooper Point Journal

Food plan
On July 1 Evergreen was shaken by an
event that hit many without warning, and
while the general mood of the campus
was initially apparent (it being one of
shock and dismay) it is a fairly good bet
that members of the Evergreen community will be able to take the situation in
stride. Some are already showing signs of
adaptation.
The event which shook us all was the
general price rise at Food Service, which
boosted prices a good 20 percent, affecting primarily the snack bar, an area heavily patronized by this summer community. Perhaps the most controversial price
hike was that of coffee which jumped
from the un-taxable ten cents a cup to
fifteen cents a cup plus a penny tax. Dedicated coffee drinkers, already disgruntled
at having to pay a dime for the first cup
and for each refill will be even more irritated at having to carry around large
amounts of pennies to pay the Governor,
let alone the additional six cents per cup.
Craig McCarty, head of Food Service,
regrets having to boost his prices, but did
so to keep up with the present rate of inflation. The boost came at a time when
Saga (which runs Food Service) was renegotiating its contract with the college. It
is hoped that the present rates will hold
prices at the same level for the next nine
months. The price boosts should be
enough to keep ahead of inflation, but it
is fairly certain that when the contract is
re-negotiated next year prices will rise
again. McCarty insists that his snack bar
prices are competitive with places like
Bob's Big Burgers in town. "I don't like
doing what we've had to do," McCarty
says, "but anyone who eats or shops in
town will be able to appreciate why we
had to do it." This may be true in a
broad sense, but when we see Sambo's
restaurant selling coffee including refills
for a dime, we cannot help but get a little
wistful.
All wistfulness aside, however, inflation, particularly as it has affected our
own cafeter_ia, leaves us all with a problem: Our money is not going as far as it
used to. In light of this, we have done
some investigating to find out precisely
July 11, 1974

how far a given amount of money will go
when spent only on campus. The amount
we used was one dollar, and as a result
we have come up with several daily survival packages to demonstrate just what
the present Evergreen dollar will buy .
While these plans do not represent all
the combinations and permutations of
items a dollar will purchase, they do give
some indication of what we have to look
forward to as we come to campus on a
tight budget and ready to spend.
Survival Plan #1 : 1 pack cigarettes (out
of machine); 1/ 2 pint of yogurt (Saga); 1
Seattle Post-Intelligencer (Bookstore).
Plan #2: 1 can of hash (out of machine) ;
1 cup Pepsi (same); 1 pint yogurt (Saga).
Plan #3: 1 copy of Shakespeare's Twelfth
Night, Pelican Series (Bookstore).
Plan #4: 1 "Make Love not Warts" gift
card; 1 stick candy ; 1 pack Certs; 1
Snickers bar (all Bookstore) .
Plan #5: Six cups of coffee (Saga); four
pieces of bubble gum (Bookstore).
Plan #6: Ten bags of Saga potato chips

purchased separately to avoid tax.
Henry Fielding once said: We must eat
to live and live to eat. While few people
would dispute the necessity, and now the
difficulty of the first part of his statement,
many of us might find the latter portion
mere luxury.

Leaving behind the secular world, we
note that faculty member Paul Sparks,
while teaching three or four years ago at
California's Southwestern Community
College, was blessed with the presence of
the woman who became Guru Maharaj
]i's new wife in his photography class.
The American woman was enrolled as a
stewardess major and came to Sparks'
class only twice and as he said, then
"fizzled out." She later became the guru's
secretary and very recently, his wife.
Sparks observed that she was dull
pretty, and pudgy, but felt that he wa~
unworthy to make any further comment
because, "What can you say about god's
wife?"

Complaint
aired
To the Editor:
So Helena Knapp is no longer our
career counselor. After two years of hard
work, nominally part-time but actually
full-time, after laying all the groundwork,
after "initially developing career counsel'ing at Evergreen . .. and legitimatizing its
role within the institution" (Roi Smith's
words), after starting to make the necessary contacts with people in graduate and
professional schools, after working so
hard with health science students, Helena
had to compete with a group of outside
candidates for the right to continue in this
job, and she lost out. Poor Helena had
the brains, the talent, and the stamina for
the job, but she didn't have the right
genes.
I think Helena will be a fine example to
the rest of the Evergreen community
4

(God, what a phony word that is!). The
lesson, kids, is that you can work and
slave your heart out for Dear Old Evergreen, but if you think that's going to get
you a better position when the opportu'nity arises, forget it! You'll still have to
compete with a bunch of people brought
in from outside, and if your skin is the
wrong color or you don't have a pair of X
Chromosomes, and especially if you have
both defects, you might as well quit now.
So don't bother to work too hard. Nine
to five will do it, with lots of coffee
breaks. Anything more isn't worth the
effort in the long run, unless you get your
kicks from that final note of "thanks and
admiration" when they let you go.
Our nervous systems aren't really so
different from those of rats and pigeons.
We can be conditioned in the same way
A pellet of food, a word of praise, the
hope of something better soon will aU
make us work harder. Helena was i,lll
there every day pushing the lever for aH
she was worth, collecting her food pellc;t

every so often, and then she stood back
for a minute to catch her breath and
asked if she could push the lever some
more. For an answer she got a rude electric shock and was thrown out of the box
and replaced by another rat. Once the
word gets around the rat colony, you see
if anyone is going to push that damn
lever any morel

Men plan
To the Editor:
My name is Thorn Lufkin. I am helping
to organize a Men's Center at Evergreen
this summer. Hopefully it will be established by the fall. (Being "established" will
consist of having a room and receiving
funding.) So far there has been one meetCooper Point Journal

ing, during which we discussed what the
priorities for a Men's Center might be.
Some priorities that were agreed upon,
not necessarily in order of importance,
were these:
1. Examining men's roles in various
contexts, both thru providing an informal
counseling service and through groups.
2. Providing a resource center including
books, tapes and films, or at least knowledge of their existence!
3. An emphasis on understanding male
physiology.
4. A desire for a close working relationship thru human to human communication with the Non-White Coalition, the
Women's Center and Gay Resource Center, as well as the Women's Clinic.
A few of us will soon be planning a
budget proposal for the summer and fall;
sometime after we've written it there will
be another general meeting, which will be
more widely publicized than the first one.
If you wish to leave or receive information about the Men's Center contact the
Women's Center (866-6162, rm. L3214).
Thorn Lufkin

Time given
To the Editor:
There has been some apparent misinterpretation regarding the report from the
Non-White Studies DTF which was recently circulated. The status of that document is that of a report - it is not institutional policy. Becau,;e of the pervasive significance of this report, I am
allowing an extended period of time for
review / reaction/discussion. The report
will be subject to open discussion in the
fall subsequent to · which revisions will
doubtless be made in the report before it
is submitted in final form, accepted,and
implemented. It is singularly important
then that those of you who have concerns
convey them to me. Although I will be
away from the campus most of the
summer, those reports will be accumulated and reviewed upon my return .
Ed Kormondy

was interviewed by Stan Shore and the
article was written by Tom Graham, it is
not surprising that the nature of my concern with this section of the DTF report
was not at all represented in the article . I
could go on at length about the purpose
and function of the "essay" which we ask
be a part (and a "part" only) of a candidate's file. It has been used to demonstrate the candidate's knowledge of Evergreen, to illustrate the candidate's teaching philosophy, and to demonstrate an
ability to design coordinated study programs. It is handy and useful to have
such an essay because it allows people
other than those who interview the candidate to know something about the candidate which could not be gleaned from a
typical resume. It is only incidentally that
the essay happens to demonstrate to the
reader how well the candidate puts words
on paper. I believe the essay is important
because it allows us to know enough
about a candidate to judge whether or not
we should invite the candidate to come to
campus for an interview.
My point to Stan, however, was that to
focus on the essay in any way either in
the report or in the article was, in my
opinion, inappropriate, given the key
problem points in faculty recruiting. I, as
academic dean for faculty recruiting, must
find better ways to identify potential candidates, describe our programs in detail to
those candidates, and encourage them to
build files and come to the campus. I will
need help in doing those things and would
like to see that the Non-White Program
DTF acknowledge those problems and
support some solutions I have in mind.
All in all, I think the report and its recommendations are good, I support it, and
I welcome it as the qualitative component
necessary to support a real affirmative
action program on this campus. That I
also said when interviewed.

grams were '"questionable'." While I can't
speak for the others I can say something
about the Chinese Civilization effort.
Let me give you a brief bit of information . We were told that our enrollment
would be limited to forty students with
the 17 May registration. The remaining
twenty were to come from those who
registered on the 23rd of September. The
rationale for this was that we had a basic
and open program and that it would be
unfair to close it out on 17 May. When I
received the first computer printout of
that registration we had thirty-four students signed in to the program. A few
weeks later, the Registrar received another
printout - an updated and corrected
version - and we had gained six students
in Chinese Civilization. So, right now we
stand at forty, our limit.
However, I have begun to receive
phone calls from students who want to
get into Chinese Civilization. Also, I have
a list of people who want to enter this
program in the fall. The program has
openings, it is going to go, and I'd be
quite surprised if we did not have our
sixty students by the 23rd of September.
If you are interested in learning about
the world's oldest continuous civilization
and how the Chinese view their place in
the world then you ought to give serious
consideration to Chinese Civilization. You
should contact my program secretary
Sandy Mallgren in Library 2214, give me
a call at 6622, or at my home at
943-1731.

In Brief
STUDENT ACCOUNTS SUPERVISOR
AL HANSON

Staff member AI Hanson was named
Student Accounts Supervisor July 1. This
position was formerly held by Kingsley
Kan who resigned at the end of May,
1974.
The decision to appoint Hanson was
maqe by Chief Accountant AI Spence and
announced in a memo dated July 1. In
that memo Spence implores students to, ·
"please give (Hanson) a chance to get his
bearing before you descend on him," with
questions.

summer enrollment, according to Susan
Wooley, S&A Board Secretary.
The S&A Board originally allocated
money for the summer based on a projected enrollment of 450 students. Each
student has a percentage of his tuition
funneled off into S&A fees. Therefore the
more students who attend during a quarter, the greater the amount of money
S&A has to allocate . This summer the actual enrollment is over 725 students.
This increase over the original projections freed $12,000 for S&A Board use.
Two weeks ago they allocated $3,000 for
a full time Day Care Center director and
$720 for student Anthony Watkins to set
up a student store . The store will sell different items made by Evergreen students.
Anyone who is interested in submitting
a proposal should call 866-6296 and ask
Susan Wooley for more information.

otherwise in a lease signed by both tenant
and landlord. Since Lyon's apartment was
left clean, the judge ruled, his deposit
must be returned.
The court also refused to charge Lyon
for the back rent, since the money was
determined to be owed by his former
roommates.
Blomquist remained undaunted. In an
interview afterwards with the Journal he
stated, "(Lyon ) should have enough integrity to pay the money. He knows he
owes it to us."
REICH/AN WORKSHOP

On Friday, July 19, at 2 p.m. in lecture
hall 5 there will be a lecture/workshop on
Reichian psychotherapy given by Berkeley
therapist Peter Levine. Levine is one of
the more well-known Reichian therapists
in the United States.
Orgone therapy, which is not widely
understood, was developed by Wilhelm
Reich. It is based on the idea that repression is manifested in certain muscles
of the body, blocking the flow of biological energy . This manifestation Reich
called muscular armoring.
Anyone interested in finding out more
about Reich, his theories, and the workshop can call Dan Briggs at 357-4448 or
943-3110.

STUDENT ADVOCATES

There will be a meeting Friday, July 12,
at 7 p.m. in CAB rm. 108A for all persons interested in organizing a student
a~vocate' s office at Evergreen.
ASH'S COURTROOM DRAMA

ALHANSON

Give him a chance before you descend.
Hanson will phase in gradually to his
new position from his former one in
charge of the college's Business Enterprise
Accounting.
Hanson's predecessor, Kan, left his
position because of charges by a nonwhite faculty member and students that
he was not flexible enough in dealing with
the needs of non-white students who receive financial aid. All students who
receive aid must pick up their award
money at the Student Accounts office,
even though the money is awarded
through the Financial Aid office.

money became available due to increased

Last week, Friday July 5, was a sunny,
calm spring day in downtown Olympia,
outside of the Evergreen Plaza Building.
Inside the Thurston County Small Claims
Court was in session and Adult Student
Housing (ASH) Incorporated was the defendent.
Evergreen student James Lyon was suing ASH for the return of his $60 cleaning
and damage deposit. Manager of ASH's
Evergreen complex, Earl Blomquist, defended himself stating that the deposit
money was held because Lyon had not
paid all of his last month's rent when he
moved out at the beginning of spring
quarter. As a result Blomquist also filed a
counter suit for $157 back rent that he
alleged was owed to ASH.
The judge who was hearing the case
decided to hear the suit and counter suit
separately. In a harsh reprimand he asked
Blomquist if he had ever read the Landlord Tenant Act which governs tht: use of
tenant cleaning deposits. Blomquist admitted that he had not and was given
what one observer described as a "humiliating lecture" by the presiding judge.
Cleaning deposits, according to the law,
can only be held for cleaning or repair
purposes unless specifically designated

SUMMER SAILING

Students, for the small fee of ten dollars, can learn to sail a fourteen foot boat
this summer. This service is provided by
the Geoduck Yacht Club at the following
times: Saturday and Sunday from 2 to 6
p.m . and Tuesday through Thursday
from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. Staff and faculty who wish to use the boats or get instruction must pay fifteen dollars.
Skippers who have passed written and
on board tests may reserve a boat for
their use at any time. The lessons, which
teach the fundamentals needed to pass the
tests, may also be scheduled by calling
866-6532 or stopping by Recreation bldg.
rm. 302.
CHARITY DRIVE

A "Food and Clothing Drive" is being
held in Olympia for the migrant workers
in the Yakima area. According to Evergreen student Carol Welch there were reports of some workers searching in trash
cans for their food.
Collections for any food and clothing
will be taken Thursday and Friday at the
following pickup centers: Vino Fino
(South Sound Center), Rainbow Market
(4th and Columbia), and the Recreation
Building, Rm. 202 at Evergreen from 11-7

4-DA Y LIBRARY WEEK

The Library is considering closing on
Fridays, but according to Library staff
member Susan Smith student input has
largely been against the idea.
The staff time saved by closing the
Library on Friday would be used to put
books back on the shelves. Pat MathenyWhite felt the Library's biggest problem
was lack of staff, 'There's just too much
work to be done particularly in my area
of cataloging and processing materials."
The Accreditation Committee in its
review of the Library recommended that
the Library, after consultation with faculty and students, close one day a week
or one week a month in order to eliminate the cataloging and processing backlog. The committee also noted along with
the Library disappearing task force (rec.ommendations issued in Spring 1973) that,
"The tendency of the Library staff is to
attempt to do too many things for students and faculty; some of the services
provided could be classified as 'luxury'
services at the present stage of the college's development. When faculty and student demands continue to increase steadily and staff remains the same or decreases, it seems obvious that some services must be curtailed."

he is "still deciding." He was concerned
that a task force is only in the position
according to the COG document to advise, whereas an EIS should be done by
"appropriate responsible officials." in
other words, Facilities.
Schillinger felt that the appointment of
Bill Knauss to the force would serve as a
bridge to Schillinger~ office, so that in
effect, the task force would report to
Facilities, the responsible office.

A task force has been set up to prepare
Environmental Impact Statements (EIS) on
proposed building projects at Evergreen.
The task force's first, short range goal is
to write EIS's for the building projects
outlined in the 1975-77 capital budget, as
is required by law. Their second, longrange goal is to prepare an evaluation of
Evergreen's present Master Plan which
outlines the college's long term expansion
plans. This is necessary because of drastic
enrollment projection changes.
The most significant of the building
projects in the 75-77 budget are a proposed gymnasium and expansion of the
Activities Building. Plans also include
miscellaneous remodeling jobs to be done
at the Day Care Center and College Farm.
According to the June 28 memo from Provost Ed Kormondy which created the task
force, the short range reports are due in
late September or early October.
The memo asked that the following faculty members with expertise in environmental ecology serve on the force: Richard Cellarius, as chairman, Steve Herman,
Oscar Soule, Peter Taylor, and AI Wiedemann. Bill Knauss, Evergreen's architect
working in Facilities, will also be a member. Kormondy also suggested they add
three or more students of their choice to
the force.
In reponse to his invitation to serve as
chairman of the group, Cellarius said that

ENVIRONMENTAL TASK FORCE
FORMED

An Impact Statement explains the positive or adverse effects which any construction project might have on the environment such as the destruction of wildlife and foliage. The statement should also
include alternatives to the proposed action, weighing their environmental impact.

EIS's are required by the Washington
State Environmental Policy Act of 1971.
This spring the legislature added an
amendment requiring specific procedures
for the Impact Statement. In the words of
Knauss. this "put teeth into the Act of
1971 ." After their completion, all statements are sent to state officials for review.

EIS was meaningless.

Knauss. Although the state does not require them to take the least destructive
action, it does give the public complete
information enabling them to keep watch
for any possible misuse of the land involved.

disappearances

BY WENDY KRAMER
Evergreen student Donna Gail Manson
was last seen on March 12th, when she
left her apartment to attend a jazz concert
on campus. She has not been seen since.
Manson was the second of five college coeds missing in a rash of unexplained disappearances that have plagued Washington and Oregon over the last six months.
With the inclusion of Heidi Peterson,
missing since February 21st, all have disappeared in intervals of nineteen and thirty-six days.
On July 3rd, a "Homicide-Missing Persons Conference" was held at The Evergreen State College under the sponsorship
of Sheriff Don Redmond and the
Thurston County Sheriffs Department, in
an attempt to "brainstorm" together with
law enforcement agencies from around the
state, in order to try and find some motive for the disappearances. About 30 departments were represented from both
Western and Eastern Washington. All
agreed the most baffling aspects of these
cases is the total lack of clues or leads to
draw upon.
Sheriff Redmond said the purpose of
the conference was, "to see if we can
come up with some type of a common denominator, something that will tie all of
these missing girls, and of course the victims that we found, the two homicide
victims we found in the county. All of
these things are starting to look like possibly they might be related, now we are not
saying they are, but they could be. If not
all, if not one hundred percent, maybe
'a' and 'c' might be together or 'a' and 'd,'
something like this. So we're starting to
think on these lines now.
-;'And of course," he continued, "getting
together in a conference like this, kicking
our ideas around, is the best way in the
world of doing it that I can think of. And
we've tried just about everything else, so
this is probably the long shot or the longest shot that has ever been tried. It's also
a long shot in another way because this is
the first time that I know of that law enforcement and the press have ever gotten
together and sat down at a meeting like
this, one letting the other look over their
shoulder. And so far it seems like it's been
paying off. I think it's a good idea."
Similarities in cases
There are a number of similarities to
connect the co-ed disappearances and it is
generally believed by law enforcement
officials that the cases are related. lynda
Ann Healy, a student at the University of
Waahinaton, waa reported miuina Janu-

ary 31st. Twenty-one days later Heidi
Peterson disappeared. Nineteen days after
that Donna Manson disappeared, followed
thirty-six days later by Susan Elaine Rancourt, a student at Central Washington
State College in Ellensburg. Roberta Kathleen Parks of Oregon State University was
last seen nineteen days later, and Georgeann Hawkins of the University of Washington was reported missing thirty-six
days after Kathleen.
All the women were:
-- Caucasian
-- between eighteen and twenty-one
- between five feet and five feet four
- first missing during hours of darkness.
The occurrences were during three-day
weekends or at the semester's end, and according to one astrologist, when the
moon was in a strange configuration with
the other planets.
In all the cases personal effects were left
behind, indicating to police that these disappearances were not premeditated by the
women. There were no signs of "foul
play" in any of the cases, although a
small amount of blood was found on the
pillow of Lynda Ann Healy. Police . in
King County tend to believe the Healy
case is separate from the others, although
according to a p8lice source, this is "only
1
a feeling."
The most prevalent belief among police
officers is that a mixed team of a man and
at least one woman is responsible for the

RODMARROM
Warns against hysteria

ily have asked one of the co-eds for help
to entice her away quietly whereas a man
acting under the same circumstances could
not. This idea was bolstered by the fact
that in all of the cases no signs of struggle
were found, and there were no sounds
heard to indicate a forcible abduction. No
ideas or theories are being discounted, including the possibility of a group involved
in some sort of occult or magic sect.
A number of theories relating to astrology have been heard, and Ann Rule, a
free-lance writer in Seattle who was at the
conference, said she spoke to an astrologer who predicted the next disappearance to occur either between the 6th and
the 9th of July, or more probably, the
27th and 29th of July. Although the police
are not expecting this to happen, the
entire case is so unusual that nothing is
ruled out.
Rod Marrom, head of security at The
Evergreen State College, warns against
any panic or hysteria, saying there is no
way to prevent another such occurrence
because one cannot predict such things.
He hopes that students become more
aware of the dangers and that they cease
being so naive as to think, "it can't
happen here." The sad truth of the matter
is that it has.
The other unsolved cases in Thurston
County, although not believed to be related, are the murders of Katherine Merry
Devine and Brenda Joy Baker whose

The first Environmental Impact Statement that Evergreen did, on the proposed
Communications Building, demonstrated
how the public can serve as watchdog on
builders. Faculty member Cellarius criticized both the way the statement was
done and the choice of site. Joining in the
criticism was Evergreen student Spider
Burbank.
Cellarius, in a letter to Facilities, termed
the report, "inadequate" and strongly
criticized the department for not discussing alternate sites. Burbank suggested that
the now dormant parking area near the
site be used instead of the wooded area
that the EIS recommended.
In the controversy that ensued, Schillinger admitted that the EIS was "meaningless" since the site was already chosen,
but that his office had undertaken the
project nonetheless in an attempt to show
their environmental awareness. Some
sources feel that part of the reason Kormondy set up this task force was to insure
that future EIS's are more thorough.
Knauss said that he learned from his
past experience with the Communications
Building EIS that "rather than considering
the area in terms of acres qf trees, each
individual tree is important."
Master plan
Also affected by this task force will be
Evergreen's Master Plan which includes
plans for roads, lots, and buildings, as
well as the different phases of construction. (The college is now in Pha'>t' II.)

The plan was drawn with a projected
student enrollment of 12,000 by the
1980's. Now at an enrollment of 2,300,
the projection has been slowed to an increase of two to three hundred each year
to about 5,000 by the early 1980's. This
curtailment as well as the new guidance of
the Act of 1971 has necessitated a reassessment of the master plan.
The proper way to do an EIS is still
somewhat in the formation stage. Knauss
hopes that "the work done at Evergreen is
thorough and in an exemplary fashion
beyond the state requirements as an example to any state agency preparing and
reviewing these assessments."
OPTICS CLARIFIED

that the Optics group contract, with faculty member Lee Anderson had been cancelled for next fall. This information was

·AMERICAN·
PERSPECTIVES
BY NICHOLAS H. AlliSON

Iberia and the future
To most Americans the Iberian peninsula seems an unimportant and uninteresting place. Spain and Portugal. to those
who paid any attention, have been regarded as anachronistic hangovers from
the colonial age, isolated from the rest of
Europe both politically and physically pPlitically by their right-wing dictatorships, the last in Western Europe, and
physically by their location on a peninsula cut off by a mountain range. But
social and political events in Iberia are far
from static. This was demonstrated dramatically in Portugal by last April's coup,
and just as persuasively in Spain by certain events during the last year which
have received little notice in the American
press.
General Antonio de Spinola, the leader
of the coup which ended forty-six years of
authoritarian rule in Portugal, is on the
surface an unlikely candidate for a
left-wing hero. With his glinting monocle,
white gloves, and riding-crop, he looks
like the epitome of the old-style general.
which in a certain sense he is. But General
Spinola is also an intelligent and thoughtful man who saw that Portugal's long, exhausting struggle against liberation forces
in its African colonies was a doomed venture, an attempt to keep alive a colonial
vision which was no longer workable in
Lhe modem world. He set out this view in
a book called Portugal and the Future,
published last February, at which time he
was the second most important man in
the Portugese military establishment. The
book became a best seller, and in March
Spinola was dismissed from his post.
The coup under Sp{nola ·which toppled
the government of Prime Minister Marcello Caetano on April 25 was a bloodless
one, and among the junta's first acts were
the dissolution of the Pide (the hated Gestapo-like political police), the freeing of
all political prisoners - often replacing
them in the jail cells with Pide members
- , the legalization of labor strikes, the
opening of negotiations with the African
liberation forces, and the formation of a
c,1binet with Communists and Socialists in

key posts. In the first heady days after the
coup, it all seemed nearly too good to be
true, and the streets were filled with flowers and celebration. Many leftist groups
then began demanding immediate grants
of independence to the African colonies.
In this atmosphere, many were disappointed when General Spinola told a
group of newspaper editors that "self-determination (for the colonies) should not
be confused with independence." He also
began warning that force might be used to
restore order when a rash of strikes, suddenly legal after having been outlawed for
nearly half a century, threatened to bring
the economy to a standstill. In fact, there
were fears that the junta would revert to
authoritarian rule, that the "revolution"
was in fact just a temporary disturbance
as power changed hands. But in the
months since then General Spinola has
demonstrated as President that he is a
thoughtful and responsive liberal. though
not a radical, with a consistent policy and
philosophy which he is trying to
implement.
Although the resignation two days ago
of the Premier and four Cabinet ministers
undermined Spinola's first attempt at a
democratic government, it did not necessarily signal a return to dictatorship in
Portugal. The nation is trying to effect a
difficult transition. Most of the institutions on which the nation has rested for
the last half century have been dissolved,
and what we are seeing in Portugal's current troubles is the struggle to generate
new ones which will both control and sustain a free society. Widespread and somewhat reckless uses of the new liberty, like
the wildcat strikes,make the job of building a new and stable nation more
difficult.
The future of Portugal is uncertain
now, if for no other reason than the fact
that developing a working democracy in
the modern age out of a virtual poli~l
vacuum is a difficult task for any naijon,;
There will be turmoil, and perhaps !lome
major rethinking will have to be done by
Spinola with regard to the colonies (since

the rebels there want complete independence, not just equality as political parties),
but the prospects are generally good.

•
In Spain there is more uncertainty. The
event which best dramatized the political
instability of the country was the spectacular assassination of Premier Luis Carrero
Blanco last December 20. Franco is still
Chief of State, but he is 82, and Carrero
was given the less important post of
Premi!.'r as a steppingstone to the presidency when Franco dies. Carrero (who
was literally blown up in his car, which
landed on the fourth floor of the church
h!.' had just left) was assassinated on the
opening day of a political trial in which,
it was hoped, the government would be
forced to confront at last the issue of
trade unions. which are illegal in Spain.
The assassination, however, angered
the government and almost certainly influenced the outcome of the trial. The ten
defendents, including one priest, were
well-known non-violent spokesmen for
the legalization of unions. All ten were
convicted of having met together in a
monastery and were sentenced, without
regard to the subject of their meeting, to
from twelve to twenty years in prison.
A major pillar of Franco's stability had
been undermined late in 1971 when the
Catholic church, one of the most powerful institutions in the country, broke from
the regime and announced its support for
social reform and human rights. Another
major factor in the regime's current
troubles is simply that of time. A new
generation of citizens who do not
remember the Civil War, and so have no
personal loyalty to Franco, is permeating
the power structure, and tendencies away
from right-wing or colonial tradition are
appearing in neighboring nations (most
notably Portugal, but also France and to
some extent England)
Spain's politics could go in any one of a
number of directions, but it is likely that
after Franco's death a major reshuffling
will take place. It could be a gradual
change, such as a sh..-.ring of power between Franco's heirs and the forces of the
left, or a sudden one along the lines of a
coup. Hopefully a solution with a minimum of bloodshed will be found, but the
potential for violence certainly exists.

•
Spain and Portugal were each at one
time master of a large portion of the
earth, and the recent resurgence of political activity there - particularly since it is
in the direction of reform and modernization - suggests the possibility that the
Iberian peninsula may be entering a new
phase in its history. Unless we discard our
image of Iberia as a stagnant backwater
with no connection to the modern world,
we may suddenly be confronted with the
unexp..!cted rise of a new world power.

European Media Review
BY JAROSLA V VACHUDA

The European news media last month
scrutinized NATO's chances of survival
and, by implication, the chances for the
survival of free Europe and the free
world. The mass of analyses, commentaries, editorials, prognoses, and lead articles
was triggered by the many repercussions
of the events of the last twelve months or
so. Those tribulations are pointing once
more to the necessity of close association
between the peoples of the U.S.A. and
Europe, in the opinion of most editors,
commentators, and scholars - though the
communist press holds the opposite view.
According to Le Monde (France), a
French atomic "deterrent" is essential to
insure the independence of France. Der
Frankfurter Rundschau (Germany) deplores the voices in the U.S. Congress
who are crying for a reduced American
military presence in Europe, especially in
a time when economic considerations are
paramount. Not only is the German government actually paying in full all the expenses incurred by the American forces in
Germany, but the paper also points out
that the cost of having those divisions
stationed in the U.S. would be even
greater - not to mention the additional
expense of building a large-scale troop
and supply carrying system to transfer
those divisions swiftly to Europe, the
Middle East, or Africa in the case of an
emergency.
In the last five years or so, European
NATO members have been disappointed
with the conduct of American foreign policy. Die Neue Zuercher Zeitung (Switzerland) is expressing the concern that it
seems to be easier for the U.S.A. to conduct diplomatic relations with such monolithic powers as the Soviet Union and the
People's Republic of China, where the potential impact of peaceful relations on

july 11, 1974·

·NATO
.,
world peace seems to be immense but is
really at best vague, than with its European allies.
It is felt that some European nations, in
all their diversity and importance, are
treated heavy-handedly. Journal de Geneve (Switzerland) feels that the five-centuries-old Swiss neutrality is now in
danger and deplores the squabbling between NATO partners. It points out that
it was necessary for President Nixon to
make a promise publicly that the Allies'
interests will not be sacrificed at the
Moscow summit. If we understand the
spirit and the letter of the NATO treaties,
a new Declaration pledging consultation
and cooperation was not really needed.
The Journal de Geneve is asking why it
was necessary to reaffirm once more the
original understanding of the NATO
treaties, and answers that the occasion
was used to reassure the vacillating and
wondering members who remember the
peculiarities of the year 1973, when the
U.S.A . acted alone, without consultation
and sometimes against the wishes of the
Europeans.
The NATO summit in Brussels was particularly cool. Monsieur le President de Ia

Re'publique Francaise Valery Giscard d'Es: :
taing was apparently not too anxious to ,
meet President Nixon in Brussels (air
travel time from Paris to Brussels - 3d
minutes), for he preferred to entertaill,;
Iran's Shah Mohammed Riza Pahlevi and ~
offer to him, in exchange for assured oil ,.
deliveries, nuclear technology (with the ;
distinct possibility of adding one more .
member to the Atomic Club). So laments
the French I'Humanite, in a strange
change of sides: it seems that the communist newspapers are more appreciative ·.
of President Nixon's actions and aims '
than the so-called free press.
,.
The Frankfurter Allgemeine (Germany)
wonders why even Great Britain tested a ·
nuclear device several weeks ago. A ,
furious outcry always accompanies French
nuclear tests, but the response to Britain's
test was relatively mild, and it seems to,
the editor of the Allgemeine that after the
Indian test the world is starting to feel ,
more and more helpless.
lzvestija (U.S.S.R.), in a trend already
mentioned above, is in line with the other
Communist newspapers Le Drapeau
Rouge, L'Unita, L'Humanite and Rude
Pravo in concentrating mainly on the oncoming Moscow summit and speaking
only in passing about the NATO "warmongers" fighting the growing desire for
all people to live in peace. This is a very
mild stance against NATO, usually the
main target of the communist press.
The now-signed Declaration of Pri.nci-11
pies, in which the fifteen NATO nations
promise each other to strengthen th~ prac- ,
tice of frank and timely consultation on
all issues connected with the Alliance, is a ;
new hope and a new start in the right direction . Europe is not able to survive, ;
alone, nor is the U.S.A. strong enough to
do without Europe. Due to the common
heritage, democratic systems, and a lot of .
'
common sense, NATO is here to stay .

Disappearances

bc>dics were found within the last few
rn , mths in state parks in the Thurston
Co unty area. Both young womel" were
la ~ t seen hitchhiking south from the Seattle area. Police believe these murders were
committed by separate people, and some
officials feel the Devine murder to be the
wmk of an escaped patient from Steilac<" >m Hospital now incarcerated in Oregon for two murders committed earlier
this year. Both these victims were young
lntchhiking women. However, this has
rwt been definitely decided and the Baker
t .>s•• is still unsolved, although leads have
turned up and been investigated.
1\ seventeen year-old woman from
Tumwater has been missing since Febru..r y 2nd, but it is not believed her disappe.lrance relates to either the co-eds or the
two hitchhikers. Cathleen Carter was first
reported as a runaway by her parents,
when upon returning to their home follow ing a family feud, Catherine was not
thPre. Later the police classified her as a
missing person and an alert was sent out.
Officials delayed in reporting the case to

other enforcement officials for five
months until just recently, much to the
annoyance of many police officers. As
with the others, there has been no word
and no clues to her whereabouts.
The FBI has been consulted in these
cases, but one official stated, "There has
been no federal crime committed, and
therefore no reason for them to help in
any way other than as consultants." The
FBI has opened its laboratories to officials
investigating these cases and the King
County Police Department has become a
clearing-house for all related information.
Both the Thurston County Sheriff's Office
and the Security Office at The Evergreen
State College ask that anyone with any
knowledge relating to these cases contact
them . The number for the Sheriff's Office
is 753-8110 ; and the number for the
Security Office at The Evergreen State
College is 866-6140. All reports will be
held strictly confidential. In the words of
the Thurston County Sheriffs Office, the
cases are "all unusual, strange, suspicious
and everybody should keep investigating
as much as possible and should keep all
officials briefed. " But they reiterate,
"There is no positive link in the cases of
the missing co-eds or any of the others."

Journal profile
Jovanna Brown
BY WILLIAM P. HIRSHMAN
"I saw an ad for Dean of Library Services, Evergreen, in something called 'Library Journal Hotline'" said Jovanna
Brown, "so I applied." And so did 90
other interested library professionals who
sought the chance to head Evergreen's
growing library. But although Brown was
the one who finally received the job, she
was not Vice President Ed Kormondy's
first choice for the position. Previous to
her appointment, Kormondy, an administrator who seems to be plagued with
making controversial decisions, selected
another applicant, a white man, for the
position. This aroused the ire of several
library staff members who felt that the
candidates' qualifications had been equal
and the college's Affirmative Action
guidelines were not followed. As a result
they petitioned for reconsideration of the
choice. An appeal was submitted to Evergreen's Affirmative Action Office. To date
no word has come from the watch-dog
group on hiring practices. But meanwhile
the problem solved itself when the man
turned down the deanship saying that it
would be impossible to run an efficient library on its present budget. So it seems
Jovanna Brown, who arrived here three
weeks ago, became Dean of Library Services by default.
"Tremendous potential"
"(Kormondy's) question was that he
thought I had - can I put words in his
mouth - 'tremendous potential'," offered
Brown, "but he really didn't know if that
potential was going to work out. I have
to respect Ed for his honesty and frankness through the whole procedure . . . I
can't say in his eyes we were equally
qualified. Of course · I have to stand up
for my own. Maybe he just doesn't recognize my 'tremendous potential'," she
mused jokingly, avoiding the harsh implications of that statement.
Brown describes herself as being "over
five eleven." At first glance her facial features make one think she is British. But in
fact she is a native southern Californian,
born 37 years ago in Palm Springs "on
the same day as my secretary, JoAnne."
Her "potential" in the library field did
not begin to surface until she had dropped
out of graduate school at Berkeley after
two years of political science.
"I was not an early devoted library
user," she said, adding that she was hard
pressed, when questioned by a friend, to
remember what the University of Arizona's library was like, although she had
JU(y 11, 1974

JOV ANNA BROWN

spent her first two college years at that
school. She took a job in the Berkeley
library, hoping it would be mentally stimulating, as a "pre-catalog checker."
"It was a very repetitious and boring
job, like many clerical jobs are in libraries," she remembered. "Working in libraries does not mean per se that it's
going to be fascinating and intellectual. I
worked there for two months."
Scotland in '62
In 1962 she went to Scotland with her
husband, Bill (who has been hired as an
Evergreen faculty member) and worked at
the University of Edinburgh library. She
returned to the Berkeley library a year
later and found herself involved in the
Berkeley sit-ins and the Free Speech
Movement.
"We thought it was going to accomplish something - and for a while it did .
. . . It awakened the consciousness across
the whole U.S. about the limitations of
higher education." As a result she enrolled
at Berkeley's Library Graduate School in
1965 to advance from her non-professional ,
role. "I looked around in the library and
there was me, but there was also this

other class of people called 'profession,1l
librarians' who weren't doing that many
different things than I was - exc('pl
making more money."
Innovative schools are not new to
Brown. She attended Albert Schweit/<'r
College in Switzerland, an "international
inter-disciplinary school" which wa ~ situated next a dried-meat factory. "All yt•ar
long all I could smell was this sp1cy
meat." More recently she was Head ol
Reference in the library at the University
of California, Santa Cruz campus, a n>llege with similar educational philosoph ks
as Evergreen.
Brown's appointment came a little ov•·r
a year after the former Dean of Lib ,.~ry
Services Jim Holly was fired in the midst
of the 1973 administrative reorganization
at Evergreen. Holly went on to set up a library at the Westside Shopping Centt·r
as owner of the Asterisk and Cht•t·se
Library Shop. The Evergreen library wmt
on to a period of confusion. At the
moment the alloted library budget allows
for funding of only 55 percent of the
necessary staff, according to Brown. The
remaining personnel faces a monstrous
job in cataloging and shelving presently
unused materials. And in the mid~t of
these problems and many others Kormondy has said that he would like to see
the library become one of the best college
libraries in the country. To accomplish
that feat Brown would have to pull quite
a fancy rabbit out of her hat. Yet she remains positive.
Autobiography in the Fall
In the fall Brown will be a facu lty
member in the "Autobiography Program"
as the Library DTF suggested that the library dean should teach one quarter before assuming their deanship duties. The
summer will be spent gaining a feel for
Evergreen and the library. However -,he
has already had to deal with the nu m,~r
ous salesmen who have accosted her with
their pitches for equipment and servtccs
("Libraries generate a lot of money,") On~e
piece of equipment she may have to Jo,,k
seriously at is a theft detection system, if
it is found after an inventory that there is
high loss rate. But Brown is reluctant to
use such a system.
"What one wants is a reminder system
rather than a detection system. For a lot
of people ripping off a book is just that
they're in a hurry and it's easier not to
check it out. And then there are those
who would rip off books despite what tlie
detection system was." She added humorously, "Evergreen students would be able
to figure it out in about two seconds."

b

Throughout it all Brown maintained
detached cheerful outlook. One wondt•$
if she will stay serene here.

"I wouldn't have taken the job if 1
didn't think it would work," she sa)k

When a director decides to make a
· genre film, the viewer is advised to treat
· it with caution. The line separating genre
' from tired cliches is a thin one. Airport
was a film which, although thoroughly
steeped in adventure-film cliches, was
nonetheless suspenseful and entertaining.
The Poseidon Adventure, on the other
hand, used all the stock ingredients but
'lhe result was no more than a lifeless
'string of predictable lines and events.
The detective-film genre had its real
heyday in the forties, and Bogart probably represented the penultimate screen
detective. As Sam Spade in The Maltese
Falcon or Philip Marlowe in The Big
Sleep he was the original tough-but-tender, honest, humorous, deadly detective.
Countless films based to one degree or another on the Bogart detective have been
made since then, and the character is by
now pretty tired. Although we can watch
Bogart now and appreciate his performance, if another film were made today
with exactly the same character and exactly the same level of social awareness it

would be trite and useless. The genre is,
in a certain sense, exhausted.
This is why two recent detective films,
The Long Goodbye and Chinatown, are
so refreshing. They are detective films,
and have a thorough working knowledge
of the genre, but they represent a new
step. Both are almost satirical towards the
"private eye" and his world, yet both are
scintillating mystery yarns as well.
The Long Goodbye stars Elliot Gould
as Philip Marlowe, a character Bogart
made famous. The story is from a novel
by Raymond Chandler, ·author of The Big
Sleep, but has been updated by director
Altman and screen writer Leigh Brackett
to the sevent-ies. Marlowe is a man out of
his time, from his sense of right and
wrong to his profession all the way to the
1948 Lincoln Continental he drives. He is
represented as a very human but
thoroughly archetypical private eye who
is struggling valiantly to understand and
master the modern world. The corruption
and moral complexity of the seventies is
contrasted to Marlowe's simple and perplexed set of values. He is duped by his
friends, abused by the police, lied to by
his clients, and thwarted at every turn by
evasion and mendacity, yet in his own
way he triumphs in the end. We silently
cheer when he gets his revenge.
Altman's direction, with its attention to
detail and its almost surreal representation
of the environment, is perfectly suited to

Gould's sincere, perplexed, half-comical
earnestness. The supporting actors are uniformly good, including Henry Gibson (of
all people) as a bland and menacing psychiatrist. The film was not much of a boxoffice success, but appears occasionally at
various theaters, frequently as a second
feature.
Chinatown promises to be more of a
commercial success, partly because the
combination of a big-name actor and expensive 1930's sets is box-office dynamite
these days. But the film is another which
gracefully and intelligently keeps one foot
in the private-eye genre while also
standing on its own as an original and
self-contained work of art. Jack Nicholson
plays J.]. Gittes, a Los Angeles private detective of the thirties who is a departure
from the archetype in several ways. The
most obvious way is his success as a detective. He wears expensive suits, drives a
classy car, has two assistants; his main
clientele consists of men and women who
believe their spouses are sleeping with
others.
The other interesting departure from
the classic private eye is Gittes' occasional
habit of making an ass of himself, such as
when he gleefully reports to his assistants
a long joke about the screwing habits of
Chinamen as the two men try vainly to
warn him about a well-dressed prospective female client standing in the doorway
behind him.
Gittes, portrayed by Nicholson with
wonderful skill and subtlety, was once a
policeman stationed in Chinatown, and although none of the story takes place there
except the very last scene, it serves as a
metaphor for the corruption, dishonesty,
and murder which lurk behind every new
discovery Gittes makes. The movie is also
full of Chinese people and Chinese references (the joke mentioned before, a gardener who calls grass "glass" and thereby
supplies a clue, the Oriental butler outside whose home in Chinatown the final
denouement takes place); and the plot of
the movie is juxtaposed like a theme in a
fugue against an earlier experience Gittes
had in his days on the Chinatown beat.
Like Gould's Marlowe, J.J. Gittes is no
superman. He is presented with the same
realism and believability as everyone and
everything in the film. In terms of detail
the movie is virtually flawless, and there
is a wealth of evocative lines and sets
which create an atmosphere of mystery,
elegance, and evil. John Huston turns in a
particularly fine performance as Noah
Cross, the father of Gittes' client (Faye
Dunaway) and the symbol of the mindless
heartless destructiveness that Gittes is
fighting.
Chinatown is the finest movie I've seen
this year. Not only is it an entertaining
mystery story but, like The Long Goodbye, adds a fresh and welcome dimension
to a genre in need of rejuvenation.
