Moths, TV,
Cyprus
For many, morning television is as
much a stimulant as that first cup of
coffee, a pacifier during bleary-eyed waking moments until one's faculties have
come to the fore, a background rumbling,
intermingling the night's dream with
NBC's Barbara Walters commercializing
the attributes of a "nutritious" dog food.
It's Wednesday morning, July 31. Some
are stretching lazy limbs and mustymouths in long, slow, endless yawns. Anchorman Edwin Newman is reading the 8
a.m. "Today Show" news in a monotone.
Words filter by.
". . . tussock . . . DDT . . . moth . . .
of THE EVERGREEN STATE COLLEGE."
"Evergreen moths71 Whatl17"mumble
numerous groggy heads while twice as
many ears and eyes turn to focus on the
gray video light of the slass matrix we
call TV. Evergreeners, those who know
Evergreen, friends and relatives, even
enemies are pulled from the depths of
zombie-ism as if overhearing their name
in a crowd. We watch. NBC news journalist Roy Neal recounts the governmentsanctioned use of DDT against the Douglas Fir Tussock Moth in forested sections
of Eastern Washington and Oregon.
A big husky U.~ Forest Ranger, made
even broader by the bulbous curvature of
the TV tube, talks to the camera. He is
stern woodsman type, like Disney's
Davey Crockett. He praises the effectiveness of the three-lettered deadly spray.
"But what about Evergreen!" we
scream, silently gnawing with curiosity.
The though creeps in: perhaps what we
heard was just a leftover dream.
A figure materializes on the screen revealing a sandy-haired man, tall and
lanky, wearing glasses. He speaks. Words
appear below him in stark white letters.
"Dr. Steve Herman - Evergreen State

College."
"That's us," we remark, finally alert,
feeling like proud parents.
Faculty member Herman describes how
he and 10 students of the Ecology and
Chemistry of Pollution (ECP) program
have been observing the "effectiveness" of
DDT, not only on the moths, but also
other insects, birds and animals in what
he has described as an "entomological My
Lai." The film cuts to some students bent
busily over microscopes. We're impressed.
For almost a year now members of
ECP program have been researching the
tussock moth infestation and DDT usage.
The program's work has been the topic of
various newspaper articles. Herman has
testified several times on the harm of
DDT. We learned to our surprise that the
'Today" report was not the first TV exposure for the program. NBC nightly
news had carried a similar report in the
spring.
"This story was supposed to be on the
6:30 evening news also," said ECP faculty member Mike Beug, "but the war in

Evergreen and foreign entanglements.
We suppose this supports the college's
philosophy of interdisciplinary studies,
that just about everything is connected somehow.

A SEARCH FOR INSPIRATION

While perusing the dictionary in search
of inspiration for this space, we came
across a word which seemed most appropriate for use here. The word was placed
in between "padauk" (which of course is a
tropical tree of the genus Pterocarpus having reddish wood with a mottled or
striped grain) and "Paddington" (which is
to many of us a friendly bear from fiction, but is defined by the editors of the
American Heritage Dictionary as a former
administrative district of London, England). The word itself: padding, defined
as "matter added to a speech or written
work to make it longer."

DTF working
To the Ec:Utor:
The Working Climate Disappearing
Task Force (DTF) recently appointed by
President Charles McCann is investigating
the factors that make working at Evergreen more stressful and unpleasant than
it has to be. We are trying to acquire a
list of all the complaints that people have
about the ways they have to do their
jobs, about their interactions with others,
and about any other factors in the college
that add stress to their lives. We are therefore soliciting contributions from all members of the Evergreen community; please

.,

send them as soon as possible (anonymously, if you wish) to Paul Marsh, Library 2216. They invite complaints about
your own job requirements ("I could do
my job better if my supervisor didn't
make me do X, which just wastes time.")
' and horror stories about interactions between people ("Faculty Member Mr. X is
always abusive to Clerk-Typist Ms. Y in
the following way.") as long as you know
the story to be true and you don't use real
names. Please do not send g()Szjipy, personal things that will occur in almost any
organization ("Ms. Q is always borrowing
money and not repaying it." "Mr. J always tries to make all the girls in his department.") In addition, please make suggestions abOut how the situation ..you are
complaining about could be changed.
So far, the DTF has identified problems
in the following areas. You might be. able
to add information to one area or define·
.an entirely new kind of problem.

1) General overwork.
2) People abusing each other with unreasonabl~ demands or abusive language.
3) Massive amounts of paperwork, especially too many memos and memos
with trivial information.
4) Factors, such as red tape, that' keep .
things from being done when needed, tht,IS
creating frustration, feelings of impotence.
5) Lack of job security; fear of being
fired for trivial or unknown causes, fear
of having job abolished, lack of upward
mobility.
6) Inequity of rules of general
behavior, such as relaxed standards for
faculty and stringent ones for custodians
and others.
7) Lack of real community, with attendant trust and understanding, but a lot
of rhetoric about community that people
are expected to subscribe to unwillingly
and without understanding. Including a
failure to understand each person's role at
Cooper Point )ourul

the college and the need for diversity of
jobs and job requirements; including also
a lack of general trust and a fear that
terrible decisions are being made by
malevolent administrators.
Working Climate DTF

Talk needed
To the Editor:
First of all I would like to see a public
response from the people who were on
the Career Counseling DTF to the concern that has been expressed by various
persons disconcerted by the replacement
of Helena Knapp. 'This place gets worse
each day" is not an uncommon feeling
around here and also a very dangerous
one. It certainly merits an explanation of
any decision made around here and a
high degree of exposure to any decisionmaking process associated with DTFs
(like for instance minutes of meetings or
conscientious evaluations and explanations of decisions handed into the Information Center) and/or administrative etc.
decisions. Helena Knapp is one of the
really fine members of our school and
there are steps that can be taken to keep
her here in a position where she would be
happy. Michelle Hayes too, will be a valuable addition but we can't afford to lose
people like Helena, and we can't afford a
prevalent fatalism floating around the student body. Because The Evergreen State
College is idealistic and an experimental
alternative in education the long range
success is precariously founded on a follow-through of original philosophies and
only a high degree of student morale will
support and push it through. It is the students here that have the power.
Last fall Ken Kesey came to our campus
and spoke on the degenerating America.
One of his comments to the rumor that
the West Coast may be falling into the
ocean soon: If you think it will fall into
the ocean it will. If you love it and work
with it .as if it will never fall, it won't.
Will Ted Haggarty and Guttman and
anyone else concerned with the replacement of Helena Knapp please talk to LeRoi Smith7 Will LeRoi Smith please reply
to and explain the DTF's decision. Will
all DTFs please become more conscientious and thorough in sending information
to the Information Center.

to face and do face daily with general
equanimity. Another class of dangers are
those we are exposed to, and expose
others to, as a result of negligence. These
are much harder to prepare for, the rear
end car crash, etc. We are all fairly well
familiar with the litany of negligent driving offense. There is a danger in this class
we all should be very familiar with and
could easily stop.
With frightening regularity Evergreen
students, male and female, are deposited
at the Olympia Greyhound station after
10 p.m. with no possible way of avoiding
a long walk at night, other than hitchhiking. I'm saying that this is a result of
negligence on our part because there are
things that can be done about it. Cheap
and easy things that should be done now
before a tragedy occurs.
I should say that this issue has been
raised before and various aspects discussed. At the May 29-30 meetings of the
S&:A Board while preparing budgets for
Fiscal Year 74-75. Specifically discussion
at one point centered on adoption of a
contract with the Oly bus system. One
problem being that service would stop at
7 p.m. each night. What happens to ever-

greeners with no transport and things to
do on campus at night7 (To my
knowledge this problem still awaits implementation of a solution).
Then the question arose, "how about
people stuck at the bus station, at night,
with no transport1" A board member suggested that these folks ~Ltake a taxi.
Simple enough, except, if I've got the
money to be taking taxicabs eight miles
out to the school, what the heck am I
doing riding a Greyhound7 The discussion
passed on and, fool that I am, I allowed it
to.
Now because of my negligence and that
of the people around me a close friend
spent a lonely and terrifying half hour
Sunday night at the Greyhound station.
She did not have cab fare and no one
could be found to drive her home. She
was lucky that night, I had the cab fare.
What if I hadn't1 What if she'd had to
walk all the way out to campus7 Maybe
she would have stayed lucky, who
knows7 But, how long are we going to
rely on luck7

Campus News
In Brief
With the $20 from the bake sale plus
numerous donations from friends she has
"almost all" of the $100 raised.
LIBRARY ANNOUNCES

'to stay out of jail'
BAKE SALE HELD FOR LEGAL FEES

Wednesday, August 7, Nanette Westerman held a "stay out of jail bake sale"
outside the cafeteria on the first floor of
the CAB building as part of her attempt
to raise $100 in legal fees. The fine was
levied by a Municipal Court Judge as a
result of the 20-year old Westerman's
presence at Captain Coyote's tavern on
the night of July 25.
Before she had purchased any beer,
Westerman was asked for ID by a waitress. She produced the ID of a
21-year-old friend. The waitress realized
the ID was false, and Westerman offered
to leave, but instead the police were
called. Westerman was questioned, taken
to the police station, had mug shots and
fingerprints taken, and was put in jail
with another young woman who had
committed a similar offense. 'They took
away my shoes and my glasses, and all
they gave us was a pack of cards and a
picture of Jesus," Westerman relates.
Her friends raised $100 bail several
hours later and she was released. The following Monday she went to court. '1
pleaded guilty, because I was, and the
judge gave me a lecture about how I
shouldn't drink," she recalls. She was also
warned that if she was in any further
trouble involving liquor before she becomes 21, she would have to serve the
full ten days in jail.

Monday, August 12, the Evergreen library will begin checking out materials
for fall quarter. All library materials previously checked out should be returned or
renewed before August 26 when "the computer will efficiently and inexorably levy
service fees for each overdue item." To
help eliminate unnecessary billing, you
may check a printout at the circulation
desk listing what each person has charged
to his/her libr~ry record as being due.
Each item to be renewed needs to be
brought to the circulation desk so that its
IBM card can be re-inserted in the
machine. If this is absolutely impossible,
let someone in the circulation area know
right away to circumvent your being
fined.
The library would also like to announce
that it will be closed for inventory September 1-15, 1974 and reopening on September 16. Some areas in the library may
have a limited access until September 20.
DTF POSTS HOURS
T~e Ombuds-Advocate Office Disappeanng Task Force (DTF) which is working on guidelines for a community advocate office at Evergreen will be meeting
weekly at 1 p.m. on Tuesdays, and 7:30
p.m. on Thursday evenings.

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED

The Governor's Committee on Employment of the Handicapped has issued an
appeal for volunteers with a background
in recreational and athletic activities to
counsel and coordinate an activities program for the mentally and physically
handicapped. The program, which will
begin within the next three weeks, will
center on the arts, games, and various
physical activities. The program will continue throughout the year, meeting on
Saturday mornings. Those that are interested in the Governor's program should
contact Peter Steilberg in Activities building rm. 305 or at 866-6210.

BANK WITHDRAWS FROM
STUDENT LOAN PROGRAM

Washington Mutual Savings Bank,
which carries a large percentage of the
Federally Insured Student Loans (FISL) at
Evergreen, has recently announced that
no new loans will be granted in the near
future. This will not only affect students
at Evergreen, but because Washington
Mutual makes more FISL loans than any
other lending institution in the state, their
withdrawal from the program, will most
likely have an adverse impact statewide.
The student loan program enables a student to take out a loan with a bank or
lending institution without having to repay it or the interest until up to twelve
months after the person leaves school.
The lending institutions do the preliminary work on an account, lend the money,
keep the records, and collect at the appropriate time. During the time the student is
in school and the grace period of up to
twelve months, the federal government
pays the interest on the principal (original
amount of money borrowed). Then, if the
student, when responsible for repaying
the loan (plus the interest fee of seven
percent) defaults on his/her payments,
the government is advised of this by the
bank and takes over the account once
more, while trying to collect from the student. Thus, the individual banks are insured against delinquent payments.
The main problem for Washington Mutual and other lending institutions who
have tried the program, was that the Department of Health, Education, and
Welfare's Education Division, responsible
for the program, has been known to be as
long as 15 months late in paying the
claims filed by the lending institutions.
This causes a considerable financial loss
for the lenders because they are dealing in
sums of thousands of dollars. When this
money lies idle, the loaners cannot collect
interest on it - which is how they make
their money.
Diane Brewster from the Seattle office
of the Department of Education explained
one reason for this delay has been that
the claims must go to Washington D.C.
to be processed. They haven't had sufficient staff in the regional offices to do it
there before, but are now undergoing a
reorganization to make this possible.
J.D. Morrison, a loan administrator at
Washington Mutual in Seattle said that,
"even though D.C. is part of the problem
with delays, the day to day operation is
still in Washington (State)."
Other banks have tried the program in
the past, but dropped out. Some of the
problems were listed by a local bank official: red tape with government, a huge
amount of reporting to be done, restrictions and prohibitions, a considerable
amount of delinquency on the part of the
borrower, and the return of seven percent
Cooper Point Journal

interest is not profitable for the lender
(even with the added maximum of three
percent by the government depending on
the inflation of the time).
Warren Myers, from the Olympia
branch of Washington Mutual. speculated
that things could be bleak for students because most other banks in the area making these kind of loans have restricted
policies. For instance, South Sound
National Bank reached its limit of lending
$100,000 a year ago. Now they only handle those students who have already taken
a loan out with them. Other lending institutions have policies of lending only to
students or their parents who have already had an account with them in the
past.
Morrison explained that the loans now
held with Washington Mutual will still
proceed as planned. This is fortunate for
the 100 students who have loans with
them at Evergreen. This compares to the
31 students who have loans with South
Sound National Bank and Seattle First
National which carries 35.
Washington Mutual's very large monetary commitment of about $22 million
was explained by Morrison who said,
'This might sound cornv. but we do consider ourselves the 'Friend of the Family.'
There are certain things that any institution does to help its community and this
happens to be one of ours."
Washington Mutual's withdrawal is
considered temporary. Myers pointed out
that 'We are trying to bring pressure to
HEW. We realize that the Seattle office is
trying to do its best and that the real
problem lies in Washington D.C."
Brewster commented, "Everybody (at
HEW) has truly been working on the
flaws in the program. I anticipate meetings in the next few weeks between HEW
and Washington Mutual officials which
should hopefully clear things up. They
should feel comfortable in coming back in
the program."
Morrison was not so optimistic. 'This
is a deep and long running problem. I absolutely do not see it clearing up in a
short period of time. Maybe things are
straightening up, but we have not yet
been informed of it. I don't see that it will
change soon."
DRIVE CONTINUES

A "Food and Clothing Drive" for Yakima migrant workers will continue for the
next few weeks, according to student
spokesperson, Carol Welsh.
Any donations of edibles or apparel can
be left at the Recreation building, rm.
202.
Welsh can also be contacted for more
information at 943-0162.
August 8, 1974

ORGANIC FARMING
WORKSHOPS GIVEN

A three part workshop on organic gardening will b; given August 9-10 by Dr.
Glenn Simmons, an agricultural researcher, commercial farmer, teacher, statesman, and world traveler. He and his wife
are more than 90 percent self-sufficient on
three acres.
The first workshop, "An introduction
to the coming famine" will cover the economics of food and the lessons of Bangladesh, India, and ancient Rome on Friday,
August 9 at 7 p.m. The next workshop on
Saturday, August 10 at 9 a.m. is entitled,
"Saving seed and breeding plants." This
will be on how to beat rising costs, avoiding shortages and growing better plants.
"Storing food the easy way" will be the
subject of the last workshop the same day
at 1 p.m. on canning, freezing, drying
and building a dryer.
These workshops put on jointly by
O.V.T.l.'s continuing education program
and Evergreen's Experimental Farm will
take place in Lecture Hall 3 at The Evergreen State College.
Around midnight on Tuesday, July
30th, an Evergreen student was doing her
laundry at the ASH Commons building
when she noticed a man standing behind
the door staring at her. He began speaking in a strangely deliberate way, overenunciating every word. He walked forward until he was distracted by another
woman entering the room. The man
turned and held the door for the other
woman so she could ~et her bicycle out
and they both left.
- The .Evergreen woman was continuing
to fold her clothes when she looked up
again, and saw the man'~ face reflected
through the glass on the door. He seemed
to be impatiently waiting for her. She
quickly walked out the door and ran. On
Friday, the student saw a copy of the
August first issue of the Journal, with a
photograph of "Ted," the suspect in the
cases of two women missing from Lake
Sammamish. She recognized him as the
same man who had confronted her, and
came forward. He was described as being
5'8", 160 pounds, broad-shouldered with
a muscular build, having dirty blond hair
longish in the front, collar length in the
back and parted to the side over one eye.
The man seemed to have a medium tan,
and possibly the beginnings of a beard.
His voice was extremely unnatural and
could be thought of as having an accent.
The suspect was wearing tan cords, and a
short-sleeved open neck shirt. He did not
have a cast.
TED' SIGHTED AT EVERGREEN

"Ted," is the name of the man police
are looking for in connection with the dis-

appearances of at least three of the seven
women missi!'& jJ!__tbis _s!ate since the
beginning of this year. He has been seen
at least twice on the Central Washington
State College campus, at Lake Sammamish
last month, and now here at Evergreen.
This is the only solid clue police have in
these strange disappearances and anyone
with information pertinent to these cases
is asked to call their local authorities.
Here, on the Evergreen campus, the Security Office is looking for the woman
who came into the ASH laundry room on
a bicycle last Tuesday night. Her identity
is not known, but the Security Office is
hoping she can be located. This woman is
not a suspect. The Security Office only
wishes to talk to her for a confirming description of the suspect. The woman is
asked to come to the Security Office or
call, at 866-6140. Her statement will be
totally confidential. If there is any apprehension about going to the Security Office, the woman is asked to contact either
Knute Berger or Stan Shore at the Journal
office, 866-6213.

In other developments, another young
woman, Brenda Carol Ball, 22, has been
reported missing from her home since ·
June 1, when she was last seen. The report was filed on June 17 with King
County police. Ball, who is described as
five feet three, 112 pounds, with long
brown hair, fits the same general description or at least four other missing women
in the area. While the circumstances and
exact time of her disappearance is not
known, she did, as in the other cases,
leave without taking any belongings.
Police have no direct evidence to link
Ball's case with the disappearances of
three other women, yet they are not
ruling out the possibility that this may be
in a pattern involving the mysterious
'Ted," the young man thought to be responsible for the disappearances of Denise
Naslund and Janice Ott who vanished
from Lake Sammamish Park.

Alpine Lakes

Tug-of-War

1n

BY TOM GRAHAM
L.AKES NATIONAL RECREATION AREA

PHOTOSBYJAYSUNDAHL
The Alpine Lakes are high in the Central Cascade mountains. They lie in a glacier area, protected by a 1946 Forest Service ruling that limited the use of 256,000
acres of alpine lake and mountain top
land to preserve it in near natural condition. The use of this land is being reconsidered, and one possibility is that some
of these acres will be opened for logging
and recreation vehicles. Logging is already
underway in private lands nearby; lands
that conservation groups have asked Congress to protect as part of their Alpine
Lakes Wilderness bills.
A spectrum of views has been presented
in the Alpine Lakes controversy as to the
best way to use the land. Preservation of
as much land as possible has been advocated by The North Cascades Conservation Coalition (NCCC). Preservation of a
large amount of the land with regulated
recreation and forest-industry use of surrounding areas is advocated by the Alpine
Lakes Protection Society (ALPS). The
Forest Service will open as much land to
the general public and forest-industry as
possible while maintaining the wilderness.
The Central Washington Cascades Study
Team (CWST) would have all but a minimal portion of wilderness open to recreation and logging. The approximate boundaries of the area affected to all of these
proposals are Highway Two to the north,
Interstate 90 to the south, and the edge of
the Cascades to the east and west.
Sbpping quality
ALPS, the Conservation Coalition, and
the CWST have submitted their proposals
to Congress. The Forest Service proposal
may be submitted to Congress by the
President in the near future.
"Conflicting interests and inadequate
planning are the major sources of dispute
in the area," reads an ALPS pamphlet
which describes the limited trails available
in the region, a plan for mining in the
area, plans for dams, and water diversion,
and the onset of logging, concluding,
"The quality of the Alpine Lakes is rapidly slipping away from us."
ALPS has proposed a 925,000 acre National Recreation Area (NRA) which will
include a 365,000 acre Wilderness Area.
The NRA would be a 562,500 buffer zone
surrounding the Wilderness Area. Public
and private lands within the NRA would
be managed as a unit by the Forest
Service, allowing recreation, logging, and
other resource development that would
not impair the value of the land. The

ALPS NRA -

'regulated logging and mining'

prime concerns of ALPS in order of
priority are preservation of the land, recreation, and development of resources.
"The main concept is to have regulated
recreation development outside the wilderness," stated former ALPS Vice President
Bill Asplund. "ALPS is for logging,
mining, and road building with regulation."
"Who enjoys romping through a dearcut area7" Asplund asked rhetorically as
he explained the ALPS recreation policy.
Asplund believes that recreation lands
need to be set up to meet the changing life
styles of our society. Asplund sees "hundreds and hundreds" of back-packers and
hikers heading into the Alpine Lakes region, and hopes the area will be managed
so as to meet the needs of these campers,
not necessarily to the exclusion of recreation vehicles and other modes of enjoying
the outdoors.
Uttle chance of compromise
ALPS began in Ellensburg, Washington
in 1968 as an outgrowth of the 1965
North Cascades National Park Study
which recommended the establishment of
two wilderness areas in the Alpine Lakes
region. In 1970 ALPS submitted their wilderness proposal, and had established

additional chapters in Seattle, Wenatchee:
and Yakima. ALPS has 700 members,
most of them living in Washington State,
though the organization does have a na. tional membership. The ALPS proposal
has the support of numerous conservation
organizations including the Wilderness Society and the National Audubon Society.
ALPS has also been supported by the
American Institute of Architects and the
ALPS plan has been endorsed in principle
by the Washington Sportsman Council.
The second environmental group, the
North Cascades Conservation Council,
proposed a straightforward Wilderness
Area of 600,000 arces. The Council is
composed of the Sierra Club, the Mountaineers, and Friends of the Earth. While
this proposal would provide maximum
protection for a good portion of the land
it severely limits the use of the land, and
has little potential for compromise.
Stan Human of Burlington Northern,
member of the CWST, dismissed the Conservation Coalition proposal for being too
unrealistic, and felt that the ALPS proposal by restricting logging would have
an adverse effect on the economy. The
CWST estimates that the ALPS plan
would reduce job opportunities in the
Cooper Point )outnal

area by a total of 2,450 jobs, and mean a
loss in potential total tax revenue of 2.4
million dollars annually.
Roads all over
The CWST plan for the Alpine Lakes
area proposes two small wildernesses: A
178,150 acre Alpine Lakes Wilderness
Area, and an Enchantment Wilderness
Area of 43,430 acres. The lands surrounding these areas would be open to recreation and forest exploitation. The CWST
plan is endorsed and backed by the Washington Recreation Resource Coalition
(WRRC). Prime concerns of the CWST
and WRRC are recreation, economy, and
the rights of private land owners in the
area.
"CWST has proposed 23 new campgrounds with 1,200 family units to more
than double present facilities. CWST
notes that roads, which would be forbidden in the wilderness area classification
currently provide access to less than 30
percent of the study area, and only for
very limited recreational pursuits."
Asplund disagrees with the CWST
claim that the area needs more roads, especially if they are logging roads. "It is
hard to be in the Alpine Lakes and be
more than 10 miles from a road; roads
are all over." Not surprisingly the principal members of the CWST are Weyerhaeuser, Scott, Georgia Pacific, Pack
River, St. Regis, Boise Cascade, as well as
forest land owners Burlington Northern
and the Washington State Department of
Natural Resources. The membership of
the WRRC includes the CWST and over
20 other citizen groups interested in the
outdoors. A sample of the WRRC membership is: Everett and Yakima Chambers
of Commerce, Northwest Seaplane Pilots
Association (planes are currently forbidden from landing on the Alpine Lakes under the Forest Service limited Area designation), Washington State Big Game

·AMERICAN·
PERSPECTIVES
BY NICHOLAS H. ALLISON

Power And Diplomacy
It was in 1917 that Woodrow Wilson
made his much-quoted statement that "the
world must be made safe for democracy ."
There is an arrogance behind this statement which has a particularly ironic ring
to those of us who have lived through the
disillusioning experiences of the last two
decades. But the tradition of America's
belief in her own superiority stretches all
the way back to the early Puritan settlers
who saw the new nation as a "city on the
hill" which would guide and inspire the
rest of the world; and such deeply ingrained assumptions are not easily unseated. This concept, which has shaped all
our institutions, was a sort of imperialism
of ideas whereby the sheer rightness of
America's principles would persuade all
other nations to change for the better. It
was not until the end of the nineteenth
century that the means through which
America would shape the world in its
own image became direct - that is,
through economic or military involvement
rather than by example.
The events of the first centl.fry of
America's life could have had no other
outcome. The new nation grew and grew
until it reached its own borders, at which
time it suddenly became clear that if the
momentum of expansion was not to be
lost then the American economy would
have to begin permeating other parts of
the world. Again I quote from Wilson,
probably the most eloquent spokesman
the American imperialist tradition has
ever had, from a statement in 1912. "Our
industries have expanded to such a point
that they will burst their jackets if they
cannot find a free outlet to the markets of ·
the world . . . Our domestic markets no
longer suffice. We need foreign markets."
For men like Wilson this blend of idealistic rhetoric and economic imperialism
was sincere. America was founded on a
genuine belief that economic self-interest
automatically dovetails with the public
good, both in domestic and foreign affairs. and that individual freedom in the
ecbnomic sense is the greatest safeguard
to liberty (and vice versa). In the twentieth century these two concepts have
10

slowly begun to come unstuck, as we
have discovered a greater and greater
conflict between our economic interests
and the fostering of liberty and
democracy abroad. Our stance against
communism, both as an ideology and an
economic system, is an example of this
philosophy in action and its deterioration
in recent times.
Our role in the reconstruction and political alignment of Western Europe after
World War II firmly established America
as the most powerful non-communist nation on earth. Our attempts to live up to
this role have since put us into a number
of dubious and even indefensible positions
with regard to foreign governments, the
most dramatic being the attempted "defense" of South Vietnam against communist "aggression" from the north. Other
examples are plentiful as well, though,
and in many cases we support a government, no matter how corrupt or repressive, either because it is the alternative to
a communist regime or because in some
other way it protects our economic interests. Two examples of this folly have been
in the news lately: the governments of
Greece and South Korea.
The U.S. rarely involves itself overtly
in the overthrow of a government, but it
can often be inferred with some surety
that U.S. agencies are at work when the
change is in favor of the economic interest of the U.S. When the military overthrew Greece's constitutional government
in 1967, there was strong suspicion that
the U.S. was involved, and the massive
U.S. economic aid subsequently granted
to the junta seemed to confirm these suspicions.
The new military government was viciously repressive (at least as much so as,
say, the Soviet Union or communist
China is reputed to be) and, in addition,
was not terribly competent. Its lack of
popular support could not be concealed
for too long by repression and toughness,
so in 1972 and 1973 the regime began
making a few small and purely ornamental
changes intended to give the impression of
liberalization. This prompted a reaction-

ary coup •by even further right-wing and
more incompetent generals last November. As their rule finally began to fall
apart they attempted last month's desperate Cyprus project - sponsoring a proGreek coup which it was hoped would
solidify their power. When this failed they
gave up and surrendered power to the
popular Constantine Caramanlis, Premier
from 1955 to 1963, whereupon Henry Kissinger called Caramanlis and associates
"old friends of ours." Although the new
constitutional government of •Greece
couldn't survive without maintaining
friendly relations with the States, one can
imagine Caramanlis' desire to make some
kind of caustic remark when the U.S.,
sponsor of the downfall of democracy in
Greece, welcomes him back with such
friendly phrases.
The South Korean government which
we fought so hard to save from communism two decades ago has long been
known to be repressive and corrupt, but
has lately adopted a new and charming
tactic: executing its political dissenters.
last January 8, President Park Chung Hee
issued a special emergency decree banning
any criticism or defamation of the government. In military trials since then, 14 dissenters have been sentenced to death (although five of these sentences were commuted to life imprisonment because the
defendents showed "deep repentance for
their offenses," which consisted of holding
rallies and writing critical poems about
the government) and 41 others have received sentences varying from 20 years to .
life in prison. Cu1·rently on trial is a Catholic bishop who is charged with supplying
$2,700 to dissident students to be used for
demonstrations; he faces a possible death
sentence if convicted. In response to this
series of Nazi-style kangaroo trials, a
South Korean Protestant group has sent a
letter of protest to President Park (which
is illegal) threatening a mass demonstration (which would also be illegal). A lawyer who defended a dissident group in
court now awaits trial himself because of
remarks he made during his summation.
These are but a few examples.
What are the implications of our continued support of repressive right-wing regimes? All over the world we pour support into governments which, while
watching out for our economic or military
interests, are fiercely suppressing freedom
and dissent at home. We do it in South
Korea, Spain, Argentina, South Vietnam,
and Chile, to name a few. The rhetoric
one still hears about the inevitable confluence everywhere around the globe of democracy. freedom, capitalism, justice, and
American investments is meaningless
now, and yet we still refuse as a nation to
discard those bankrupt phrases and try to
perceive the situation realistically. The
most urgent task before us is to cease to
wield our awesome power and wealth on
the basis of outdated half-truths and to reexamine critically and realistically what
we wish our role in the world to be.
Cooper Point Journal

European Media Review
HY )AROSLA V V ACHUDA

Scandinavia
A distinct part of the European media
spectrum is the Scandinavian segment of
it. Denmark, Sweden, and Norway, all
three nations with Teutonic heritage, are
cooperating with Finland and her FinnoUgrian people to create and maintain the
remarkable but undefinable Scandinavian
entity of common interest: to live in a
just peace and harmony together and to
fend off possible intervention into their
affairs. The Continental powers in the last
hundred years or so tried to occupy or influence various Nordic states: Germany
attacked Denmark in 1866 and 1940 and
Norway in 1940, Sweden lost Finland to
Russia in 1807, et cetera. By the end of
World War I (1914-1918) Finland emerged
as an independent nation, but her
powerful neighbor the Soviet .Union tried
at least three times since 1917 to incorporate all or part of Finland into her
Union of Soviet republics. The Finns survived the shooting wars, but the harsh
geopolitical reality - that the most powerful military nation in the world has
common borders with Finland - led to
an accommodation, most favorable to the
Soviets of course, which is called by the
Kremlinologists a process of "finlandisation."
The Scandinavian and the European nations are not willing to submit themselves
to the "finlandisation of Europe." Although my space in this paper is limited,
a sense of justice and of compassioiT compels me to mention another possible mem~
ber of the Scandinavian community: the
nearly forgotten nation of Estonia (17,000
sq. mi. and two million inhabitants)
speaks the same Ugro-Finnish language as
the Finns, and the two nations were close
to each other until the Societ occupation
in 1939. The incorporation of Estonia as
the sixteenth republic of the USSR was
not recognized by many nations, including the United States.
Scandinavian nations, having a common desire to live in a just world, in
peace and prosperity - with the exception of Finland they enjoy one of the most
elevated standards of living in the world
- reflect the hopes of all European nations and all people on this earth. Those
small nations (their combined population
August 8, 1974

equals that of the state of California, 22
million) are therefore in the forefront of
the various peaceful and humanitarian
actions of the United States and other international institutions. Therefore, although some of the headlines of the European newspapers are reflectin~ the pro~
lems of economics, Cyprus crtses, Amencan domestic problems, etc., a deeper and
more concerned tone prevails in all spoken and written words: how to organize
a society where free mankind could live in
a just peace.

litiken continues: "The Scandinavian
countries have previously taken pride in
acting as spokesmen for the oppressed
and for those who cannot defend themselves. On this solemn occasion - the
twenty-fifth anniversary of the Human
Rights Declaration - we appeal most
earnestly to our respective governments to
make all efforts in order that the serious
violations of this Declaration in the Soviet
Union be raised and properly dealt with
in the United Nations." On the other
hand, Ny Dag, the organ of the Swedish
Communist Party is ignoring the issue.

Human Rights Declaration
The most respected Swedish press representative, the Stockholms-Tidningen,
the voice of the powerful Swedish Social
Democratic Party, is featuring prominently one of the ongoing themes of the
Scandinavian and European media: the
twenty-fifth anniversary of the Human
Rights Declaration. The paper welcomes
in this vein the return of democracy to
the Greek people and urges the reader to
take part in the massive action of citizens
of Scandinavian countries to safeguard
human rights. These Scandinavian countries - without Finland - turned over
hundreds of thousands of signatures on
/petitions to the governments of Sweden,
Norway and Denmark with the request
that their protest be presented at the
United Nations. Bishop Monrad Nordeval
- when did you last hear from your
bishop, my dear colleagues? - in presenting to the Prime Minister of Norway an
appeal signed by tens of thousands of citizens, emphasized that while the violations
of human rights in other countries had
been condemned several times, the persecution of intellectuals, Christians and Jews
in the Soviet Union had never been on the
agenda of the United Nations.
The petition, as stated by the Polltiken
from Copenhagen, urged that the question
of the persecution of Soviet dissidents be
placed on the UN agenda. The last paragraphs of the aforementioned petition, as
reprinted in the Polltiken and other European newspapers, read as follows: 'The
inviolability of human rights must be
viewed as a moral obligation for all civilized countries. It can no longer be accepted, therefore, that serious violations
of elementary freedoms should be a matter of purely internal national concern.
The acknowledgement of this fa~t _will
necessarily ·call for political consequences
which we cannot easily dismiss." The Po-

World Pressure
Whatever may be the official policy
about non-interference in the internal affairs of other countries, for whatever reasons, it is undeniably true that the loud
protest of international organizations and
the free world press - and on the economic side the Congressional amendments
sponsored by Mills and Vanik in the
House and Jackson in the Senate against Soviet inhumanity has saved the
life of Solzhenitzyn, first of aU, and of
other victims. Only by publicizing the
Soviet conduct can the Soviet government
be placed at a disadvantage on the world
forum, just at the time that it is trying to
create a false friendly image of detente by
playing all the cards it has up its sleeve.
To keep silent at this time, to ignore its
inhuman treatment of people, its system
of prison camps and rule by the secret
police, would eventually bring punishment on the free world; we would all be
made to pay for our apathy and blindness, just as we are paying for the crime
of Munich to this day.
It is more than usual that I am defending American institutions to my American
friends. In this connection, I do feel
strongly that I must congratulate you on
the Watergate and other assorted problems facing our nation today: once more
is shown to the world the success of this
workshop of democracy called the United
States, where members of 60 different na~
tions and three or four races are successfully organizing a political system, where
liberty and happiness are official goals of
the society, where an orderly transition
from one ruler to another is assured by
peaceful means, and where, hear hear, no
man is above the law; and all of this conceived by European humanists, stattl§men
and philosophers, but implemented in the
United States.

Housing Rates Increase
:I:

LaSt year at this time there was a 145
student waiting list for on campus
housing. This year 150 vacancies wait to
be filled. The reason for this d~ demand is simple enough: money. Rental
rates for the coming year have increased
drastically - in some cases by more than
50 percent from last year.
'The rates had to be raised," insisted
Housing Director Ken Jacob. 'We have to
pay back money we borrowed to build
the mods. Also for the past three years no
money has been set aside for depreciation
costs. Some curtains are rotting on their
hooks. That had to be budgeted in. There
have also been terrific ·increases in utilities."
Because of this on-campus residents will
find themselves payins what one student
termed "exorbitant prices" for Fall Quarter. The rates will decrease by quarter.
The intent is to reap high rents during the
FaU Quarter, a normally high occupancy
period.

ness which breaks even," explained Jacob.
Actually Jacob has to do better than
just break even. According to a bond
agreement with the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), Evergreen housing is supposed to make 25
percent more than needed to pay back
monies borrowed to construct the mods.
"Last year we just about broke even,"
said Jacob. "Technically that means that
HUD could cancel the bond agreement
and take over the mods."
Jacob said that he expects just about
full occupancy as Fall Quarter begins. "I
think what has happened is that students
have reacted to the rent increase not realizing that the rents off-campus are also
going up."
Though annual contracts have increased
(by $150 for a five-student apartment),
they are still the most inexpensive rate.
However, a student is virtually locked
into a long-term, three-quarter contract.
"The cheapest way to live in the
dorms," said Jacob, remembering how
one student survived part of last year, "is
to live in a storage room."

granted rights-of-way through Forest Service lands on Coulter Creek, which is required by law, and has been tested by
ALPS in court.
Trails restrict logging
Bean feels that the Forest Service could
hold up the logging, and the road building by requiring stricter Environmental
Impact Statements, or interpreting rightof-way as a trail and saying to the logging
companies, "O.K., logging company,
build a trail into your land." A trail
would tend to restrict the amount of
logging a lumber company could do.

"If we had the Washington delegation
behind us we could do miracles," said
Bean, who had hoped to get the congressmen to intercede with the Forest Se'rvice
on the logging issue. Bean said she had
only received a letter from Brock Adams
who inquired about logging in the area
with the Forest Service.
Prospects of Congress acting soon are
not good. "Even if Watergate comes to a
conclusion rather rapidly, it will be a
while before Congress comes back to this
sort of thing," said Forest Service Information Officer Clyde Barthol. Human estimated that the bills will reach the floor
in 1975.
According to Human there are 225,000
acres of private land in the NRA proposed by ALPS, with over half of that
land containing marketable timber. Human doesn't feel that ALPS, the Conservation Coalition, or the Forest Service
have spoken realistically to the private
property issue. "Identification of a key resourc~ when you only own half the land
is kind of an imaginary creation." Human
sees the Coulter Creek logging as a prime
example of this, explaining that Pack
River owns the land, and has the right to
log it.
Zoning proposal
The private ownership argument can be
mitigated by thinking of the ALP's NRA
and the Forest Service's Management Unit
as zoning ordinances which describe what
owners can do with their lands without
ruining the neighborhood. Zoning ordinances have been tolerated by private
land owners for years, and the extension
of land management regulations into the
forest shouldn't be that upsetting to private owners.
The conflict over how the Alpine Lakes
region will be managed is typical of other
land use struggles that are, or will be
enacted. The methods used to gain public
input and prioritize values have been used
before by the Forest Service, and will be
used again by additional public agencies.
The Washington Recreation Resource Coalition was once the Alpine Lakes Coalition, but expanded so it could broaden its
focus to include other public land use
controversies. Land use policies generated
from the Alpine Lakes Wilderness Proposals, then, will have an affect beyond
the final Congressional designation of a
Wilderness area.

Two studies of sexism

Here at the Journal, editors and reporters often rotate positions so as to bring
"new blood" into old jobs. Like the academic deans, each editor has a number of
"desks" for which he is responsible. For
instance, the managing editor assigns stories, edits copy, does interviews for stories,
and serves as layout assistant. Each of
these "desks" is separate - both literally
and figuratively, since the editing is done
at one desk, the layout at another, and
the interviews at still another - one job
does not have much in particular to do
with the others. This makes it much easier
to rotate positions and still keep copy organized sanely.
There is one desk, however, which over
the summer, has remained empty because
of a staffing shortage. This is the Review
Desk. In place of a review editor, the
Journal has just let the desk alone, for
whichever editor or visitor who wants to
fill it each week. This week we found ourselves sitting at that desk, with two books .
already waiting for us.
Both of the books, chosen by the last
review editor, deal with the subject of
male chauvinism. The first of these, Male
Chauvinism, by Michael Korda, is a selfindulgent, intellectualized, but not intelligent look at the subservient role that
women in bureaucracies are placed. The
other, a guide book, How to Make A
Good Airline Stewardess, by Bill Wenzel
and Cornelius Wohl, is a brilliant satirical
exposition of male supremacy that does
not fall victim to any intellectual incumberment.
Korda, in his guilty self-analysis of the
reasons for male chauvinism, is all that
one normally dreads in a '1iberal." Early
on in the book he states 'Women are the

true proletarian class in working society
today." But rather than develop this
theme he drops it, preferring instead to
discuss whether or not penis envy exists.
Digressions of this nature make no sense
in this book. It is not a philosophical
book by any means. Nor is it meant to
cover the spectrum of female oppression.
It is, instead, an oddly narrow book. It
addresses the "working girl" - the legion
of secretaries, administrative assistants,
accountants, and file clerks which are the
actual productive force behind a bureaucracy. The book then attempts to become
something of a feminist Manifesto. Unfortunately Korda is a man. Not an extraordinarily sensitive or intelligent man at
that; but one who is apparently driven by
guilt and repression. In his muddle he
makes women supreme, but it's praise
from a · fool .
. The second book stands as a provocative ~~unterpoint to the Kor~ . confusion.

How to Make a Good Airline Stewardess·
may be considered by some to be in bad
taste. Most brilliant satire is considered so
by shallow minds .
The book, at first glance appears to be
a manual for laying stewardesses. Each
airline is listed and the "stews" on the airlines described.
---- .
For instance: "Making a United stewardess," the author notes, "is like making
your wife, not especially difficult, not overly exciting, and not terribly satisfying,
However making your wife is not like
making a United stew. The differences are
subtle. We shall not go into them."
And so it is with the book: subtle differences are not gone into.
In imitating the chauvinistic style of
smut, the author makes a far more impressive point than Korda, whose attempts at explaining chauvinism seem
weak and self-conscious.
The Stewardess book also plays off a
reader's desire to escape from the psychological terms that sexism and chauvinism
are usually nested in. Chauvinism, as the
book satirically points out, can best be
understood as a function of the Jet Age
that we are living in. In an earlier time
women were vested with a special type of
dignity and duty that was socially necessary. Now, when the family structure in
the United States is undergoing radical
change, women are left out of place - as
Yoko Ono says, as "niggers."
Stews·are the everywoman of the twentieth century. Stripped of the respectability and beauty of their former roles
(which were equal with men) they are left
to perform menial labor and expected to
look and act like "plastic pussies."
Now don't mistake what is being said.
The author never makes such an argument explicit - nor does he have to. All
is implied with his choice of subject and
tantalizing wit.
It is this sort of historical and sociological analysis which Korda attempts and
fails at that Wenzel and Wohl perform
implicitly and enjoyably.
