This week's feature story was written by Journal Managing Editor Bill Hirshman and deals with Westside Rexall owner John Hendricks and his attempts
to keep a rival drug store, the Medicine Shoppe, from opening.
Hirshman's attention was first aroused in August by a noti ce on the door of
the Medicine Shoppe Pharmacy
which briefly outlined why the store
was closed. Hirshman called Don
Forstrom, owner of the Medicine
Shoppe, to request an interview.
Forstrom told him that since the
case was scheduled to go before
Appeals Court in September he
wanted no publicity. It looked as
though the story was dead. Then a
few days later Forstrom called back
relating that the Daily · Olympian
had also contacted him about the
case and he had checked with his
attorney: there was no reason not
to talk. He granted the interview.
Hirshman then proceeded to interview the other main actors in ttfe
drama, the last being "Big John" Hendricks himself. Hendricks also initially
refused to be interviewed, but changed his mind when Hirshman explained
that without the interview Hendricks' side of the story would not be presented. With the hectic pace of the Journal's first week Hirshman was forced
to work after hours, compiling the various tapes and legal and historical documents into this story.

·critiques of
Evergreen
As we were sitting quietly in the Journal office last Sunday, on the eve of Evergreen's deluge of orientation trying to get
some weekend work done (but fnstead
procrastinating by talking to a new student), in walked a middle-aged woman
who seemed to have a purpose in mil'ld .
Our attention was casually drawn.
"What office is this7 What goes on
here7"
We responded proudly that it was the
Cooper Point Journal office --'- the college
newspaper.
"What do you write about7"
We mentioned the usual : campus news,
related news, columns, etc. Also some
American politics.
"Marx7 Do you write Marx7"
"Marx7" We wondered what exactly
she meant.
She could tell we were a bit confused
.and explained, "I noticed a lot of Marx
and the Third World books in the bookstore. "
No, that was not something we wrote
about.
Her aloofness was suddenly disrupted
as she noticld that our legs were crossed
Indian-style in our chair.
"Who taught you to sit like that! Ladies
do not sit like that. You must not be a
lady. "
We then incredulously inquired as to
her credentials and purpose. Perhaps, we
thought, we could set her off her guard
by taking a suitable of~nsive. But she
was not to be had.
"I was born and raised in Olympia and
I am visiting the campus, " she snapped.
She could take no more of this insidious display. "You must be like the young
· men outside sitting on the grass like
dogs," she barked before she left .

profundity and responsible attention to
detail and for those reasons we think the
students should see it also . The memo is
an evaluation of the new Seminar
building and the equipment contained in
it , and it reads as follows :
"1. The doors to the seminar rooms
have 3 /8 inch clearance between the
doorknob and the doorjam . The minimum thickness of my thumb at the joint
is 11 116 inch , Since I do not have an abnormally thick thumb" (we were unable
to check the validity of this claim, so we
must assume it is true) "this means that
others like me will pinch, scrape, lacerate
or break our joints on these doors.
Someone may sue . It may be me.
"2. The fire escape well in the northeast
corner of the building ends in a door
without a panic bar lock. The ordinary
door lock is often locked FROM THE
INSIDE. This could cause a disaster in an
emergency.
" 3. The desks provided are markedly

36th & Overhulse
866-1252

inferior to those provided in the library
building. They have only 66% of the
capacity of library desks and only 50% of
the file space. The drawer slide has space
for only one 8 1/ z by 11 sheet for campus
phone numbers - the library desk could
take two if you trimmed the margins.
Further the slide will not slide over
campus mail envelopes tucked into the
side - a real design flaw."
The memo goes on to complain about
the size of the file cabinets, which are
bigger in the Seminar building than the
ones in the Library building ("Bigger is
not always better," he explains). Some
people may accuse Beck of whining, of
nagging, of nit-picking. For our part we
are proud that such attention is .Paid to
detail on such unimportant matters.

Summary of Summer News
Since most students were not on
campus during the summer, the Journal
has summarized most of the important
news events of that period below. The
events are listed chronologically and more
information on them can be obtained by
contacting the Journal.
ACCREDITATION
On June 19, Evergreen received formal,
official accreditation from the Northwest
Association of Secondary and Higher
Schools. Earlier, in the last week of April,
1974, a ten-member team visited Evergreen and their report to the Association
was part of the basis for Evergreen receiving accreditation.
The report had high commendation for
the school, calling it, "a major asset to the
higher education of young people in the

mented, despite the fact that Provost Kormondy has not taken any official action.
Among the report's suggestions, which
seek to tum the Affirmative Action goals
of the college into reality, are:
- that all vacancies in employment in
the next two years be filled with nonwhite or women personnel.
- that a representative of each
non-white ethnic group be on the Services
and Activities Fees Review Board, and
that the boan.i be given control over the
entire quarter-million-dollar S&tA budget,
rather than only one-fourth of it.
- that the bookstore establish a line of
credit on books for non-whites.
- that Health Services hire a full time
doctor.
- that the Non-White Coalition be
given full funding as they requested.

was part of a worldwide tour the Swami
is taking to visit his disciples. Most Evergreeners saw little of the Swami since he
and his followers lived in the dorms and
rose each morning at 4 a.m. to spend
most of the day in meditation.

State of Washington."
It also noted, "The spirit and morale of
both students and faculty at Evergreen are
surprisingly high."
Provost Ed Kormondy termed the
award "almost a technical thing," and
added, "it would have been a problem if
we didn't get it, but I don't think it will
change things much to have it. We are
pleased of course ... It's like the Good
Housekeeping Seal of Approval."
NON-White OTF
The Non-White DTF made public its
report during the third week in June causing a large uproar on campus. Eventually,
as the report came to be understood better. much of the consternation disappeared, and many of the report's . recommendations have already been implePage 6

Head of the Non-White Coalition,
Thomas Ybarra, can be contacted for
more information about the report.
WORKING CLIMATE
President Charles McCann, on July 9,
called together a DTF to study the working climate at Evergreen .. T~e DTF is still
meeting to consider the problem.
In his memo, McCann wrote, "When
people try to express what's bothersome
(people among those many Evergreeners
who are not designated, 'Member of the
Faculty,') the words one hears most are
'second or third class cttizens."'
GOD VISITED EVERGREEN
Swami Muktananda, who is considered
god by some of his followers, visited
Evergreen for a couple of days in July. It

TROUBLE IN S&A
Assistant Director of Campus Activities,
AI Rose, resigned during June, charging
that the administration is "stealing" student funds. The controversy, still unresolved, was caused by a difference of interpretation in the state law which governs the use of Student Activities Fees. At
the present time the fees are split into two
funds: a College Activities Fund, controlled by the Administration, and a Services and Activities Fund, controlled by a
panel of students.
Rose charged that all of the money
should be controlled by the students. In
early September, LyM Gamer was hired
to replace Rose.
ADVOCATE OmCE
A number of students formed a DTF
during the summer to investigate the possibility of setting up an "ombuds-advocate office,'' whose function would be to
help students get through red tape on
campus and help educate the college community about their rights and obligations
under the College Governance document.
In early September the group went
before the Services and Activities Fees Review Board and received an allocation of
more than three thousand dollars. The
temporary hel)d of the ombuds office is
student John Foster, who can be contacted
at the ·Journal, where he works as business manager.

Campus News
In Brief
STUDENT INJURED IN BIKE CRASH
Evergreen student Corrine Kelly was
injured in a motorcycle accident, Tuesday
evening, September 24th, at the intersPc-tion of Cooper Point and Mudbay Roads.
Kelly was headed east on Mudbay Road
when she failed to stop for a truck
making a left hand turn. Her motorcycle
ran into the back of the truck and went
under the rear wheels of the truck and she
was thrown to the side of the road .
Kelly suffered a broken jawbone, loss
of teeth and a broken leg. Her condition

Corinne Kell !I
was originally listed as critical. At press
time it was reported she was conscious
and would remain in the Intensive Care
Unit of Saint Peter's Hospital for ali undetermined period of time . It is expected
<he will be hospitalized throughout the
Fall quarter . Kelly cannot receive visitors,
however she would appreciate cards, or
lt·tters but no flowers because of an
alll.'r~y . Kelly had been working in the
lihr,try at thl' Circulation Jesk.
UNCEI\T AINTY VOICED OVER
FACULTY CONTRACTS
I"m chid. t•n ... sa1d a faculty member relu-.ing to bl• qtu•ted Jirectly , "it ha., gotten
t" ihl· poinl wlwre I'm .tfraid tn l ,tlk ."
~rtembt•r 2t-, 1ll74

The fear is over job security sparked by
the wording of letters of reappointment
for three-year teaching contracts.
When Evergreen was forming three
years ago, the faculty decided not to
work under a tenure system guaranteeing positions at the college. As a result, a
system of three-year appointment letters
(in effect promissory notes) was set up,
with the actual appointment letters being
issued on a yearly basis following an evaluation discussion with the academic
deans..
In June of last year, several faculty
members received letters from Academic
Vice President and Provost Kormondy
with the phrasing " .... will be eligible
for a contract ... . " There was only intent specified. not the guarantee which the
faculty expected. A group met with Kormondy explaining their feelings, and the
change to a guarantee was agreed upon .
On April 5th, a DTF was formed to
discuss updating the Faculty Policies section of the existing Faculty Handbook.
One of these areas under revision is the
section on evaluation I reappointment. It
was suggested that at the end of each second year period of the three-year contract, the Provost would inform the faculty members as to whether they had
been granted another three-year contract
or would be terminated at the end of the
current contract .
In June of this year reappointment letters were sent out to various faculty,
again with what was called "questionable
wording. " One faculty member who received a letter approved it by stating at
the bottom he assumed Kormondy meant
to guarantee him a new three-year contract.
The Assistant Attorney General, Richard Montecucco. when asked about the
wording, told the Journal he believes
there i!> no controversy involved, merely a
misunderstanding. The letters as written
by Kormondy were legally sound in implying reappointment since between the
letters. and the beginning of the new threeyear term , one year remained in which
the yearly evaluation session between a
I.:~Lulty member and his or her dean covereu any discrepancies that would arise.
Some ·members of the faculty have criticizeu those debating the wording of contracts a:- "dealing in trivia" and "overly
paranoid .'' Kormondy has attributed the
problt•m to " ,1 lac-k of faith in those mak-

ing authoritative judgments.
"Perhaps," he said, "Evergreen has become too large an institution to rely
solely on faith and t•ust as we once did."
NO DETECTION SYSTEM
Dean of Library Services Jovana Brown
has told the Journal that the library will
not be installing a theft detection system,
contrary to circulating rumors. Although
she will be meeting with a representative
of the 3M Corporation, makers of widely
used security systems, Brown emphasized
that she is absolutely opposed to the
installation of a detection system because
"it's completely against what we're all
about."
The library was conceived as "an open
and accessible Evergreen resource." However this openness has apparently led to a
high loss rate of books and cassettes. An
inventory has been in process most of the
summer to determine precise statistics on
missing library materials.
·
The 3M Corporation detection system
operates by insertion of a metal strip in
each book which electromagnetically sets
off an alarm if the book is improperly
removed from the library. Other alternatives includes checking all departing
library users by means of a security guard
or moving the circulation desk closer to
the door to discourage theft.
Evergreen is the only Washington
college without any security precautions
for library materials.
MAGAZINE FRAUDS AT ASH
The Journal has received a ·report of
two possibly fraudulent magazine saleswomen working door-to-door in ~he
Adult Student Housing apartments last
Monday, September 23.
The women, claiming to be employed
to the Three Star Company in Van Nuys,
California, gained entrance to apartments
by asking residents to "vote" for them.
Once inside, the women dropped the
" vote " story and said they needed
"points" to win prizes which they could
obtai~ by selling magazine subscriptions.
Complaining residents' suspicions were
aroused when the saleswomen mixed up
their story and giggled hysterically several
times during their sales pitch.
In a similar case occurring the next
day in Tacoma, a young woman claiming
to be from the same company sold one
woman $7.50 worth of subscriptions. The
victim later called the Tacoma Better
Business Bureau.
In an interview with the Journal, a
Bureau spokesman said, "We get cases

State Council on Higher Education.
The increase would include a 13.18
percent salary hike during the 1975-76
school year and an additional seven
percent during the next year to maintain
the average. Thus, a new faculty member
now earning $10,850 per year would be
receiving $13,764 in two years.

SALARY INCREASE PROPOSED

Although Evergreen likes to think of
itself as a somewhat unorthodox institution, it seems the Board of Trustees are
still finding themselves caught up in the
age-old effort to "keep up with the college
next door."
Last week at their regular meeting the
Board of Trustees voted to approve a proposal which would bring the salaries of
faculty and exempt administrators up to
the average of those at comparable state
colleges. The proposal, which will be presented to the legislature in its next
January session, was the result of a sevenstate study conducted by the Washington

STUDENT FUNDS DISCUSSED

Evergreen's President Charles McCann,
one of the exempt administrators, cited
the percentage requests as "the smallest of
any four-year institution in the state" due

largely to the fact that Evergreen was not
as far behind the seven-state average as
the other Washington colleges. Even so,
the legislature may not be willing to fund
the entire additional request. an estimated
$794,000 for the 1975-77 biennium. McCann described the proposal as "the first
step of a process which would no doubt
carry on until March."
The salary increase will not affect classified personnel whose salaries come under
the civil service wage scale.
In other business, the Board awarded
contracts to building contractors for the
remodeling of the Campus Day Care
Center and for additional signs along the
Evergreen Parkway.

"I felt there were a lot of hostilities at
the meeting," commented one student
who attended the first meeting of the
reconvened College Activities Fund Disappearing Task Force (DTF) last Tuesday,
September 24.
The DTF met on Tuesday to discuss
major questions which were left unanswered when the group dissolved last
·year. Although there was an undercurrent
of emotion, the meeting was poorly
attended and those who • were in
attendance tended to not vocalize their
feelings, leaving those new to the issue a
bit in the dark.
Last April Administrative Vice President Dean Clabaugh charged a DTF to
examine a number of proposed actions
involving the money allocated by the
legislature for' student activities and to
clear . up the confusion concerning where
responsibilities lie in regard to that ,
money, 'this DTF found that they did not
have time to deal with the major
questions presented to them by Clabaugh.
"There were only fi"e members of the
DTF that were actively participating,"
said Kris Robinson, a staff member on
both the previous DTF and the present
one. "Twq of the students were going to
be graduating ... We just didn't have time
last Spring to deal with the major
questions."
The main objective remaining for the
DTF to deal with is the confusion of
where responsibilities lie in regards to the
allocation of student activities funds.
A~or.ding to a letter from the Assistant
State Attorney General Richard Montecucco, aa"dressed to the previous College
Activities Fund DTF, "Students have
absolutely no authorii1C over the expenditure of Student Services and Activities
funds unless this authority has been
delegated to them by the Board of
Trustees."
As it now stands otify a small portion
of the College Activities Funds are
directly allocated by students. These are
the monies distributed to student organiContinued on page 22

The Making of a Campus
1974
BY WILLIAM P. HIRSHMAN

"One day there was a stand of trees,
the next day, dirt mounds and bulldozers." That's how one student described
the speed in which one and a half acres of
land just south of the Campus Recreation
building were cleared as construction on
the 6.7 million dollar Communications
building began. All throughout the
summer, campus construction has gained
momentum. Outdoor tennis courts were
paved onto the playing field, a nature
trail forged its way through the Evergreen
forests to the Puget Solind Waterfront,
and after much environmental controversy, light standards were finally being
erected on the mile-long college parkway.
New Building or Trees
In the past year, Environmental Impact
Studies (EIS) became mandatory before
construction on new sites could begin. So
early last Spring when an EIS was issued
by the Facilities Office on the proposed
Communications building, concern was
expressed by some Evergreeners, notably
faculty member Richard Cellarius, as to
the suitability of the selected site. In a letter to Facilities Director Jerry Schillinger
last May, Cellarius wrote, "(The conclusions of the EIS I provide the clearest
demonstration that the decision lin choosing the site I had been finalized long before
any meaningful consideration of the environmental impact or alternatives."
Cellarius and others called for curtailment of construction until other sites were
inspected such as parking lots, which
would affect less natural vegetation.
"After all the letters of concern, the
Board of Trustees saw fit to approve con. struction and not move the site," commented Schillinger, apparently unimpressed by the concerns. Bids went out
during the summer and a contract was
awarded to Jones and Roberts, builders of
the new Seminar building and the partially completed Lab Annex. The Communications building, which will contain
media, art and theater facilities, is not
scheduled to be completed for another
two years.
The Parkway Ughtt
Much of the political energy of Evergreeners last year seemed to focus on environmental issues. One main bone of
contention was the discovery that 104
light standards were to be erected on the

The Westside Connection
Two Drug Stores Fight It Out
BY WILLIAM P. HIRSHMAN

It was the day following the primary
elections. Jottn Hendricks stood by the
model airplane sets in his Rexall
Drugstore at the Westside Shopping
Center. "Big John", he was often called.
One could see why. He was an imposing
figure towering over the counters. His
white hair gleamed starkly from the
Oourescent lighting. On his shirt pocket
hung a card: "John Hendricks for State
Representative". A customer offered a
congradulations upward. "Big John"
smiled. After two years as a representative "Big John" was a man
accustomed to victory.
For John Hendricks another kind of
victory was just around the comer - literally around the comer on Division
Street where the Medicine Shoppe
Pharmacy has remained closed for the
past year. A sign on the door explains,
"Friends and Patrons - We had planned to
open September 10, 1973. But Hendricks
Rexall Drug Company brought an
injunction ~gainst us to stop us from
competing. Please be patient. We will try
to be, too. Donald E. Forstrom."
A Fateful Move

Don Forstrom used to make a comfortable living in Ferndale, Washington.
He and his wife owned and operated a
drug. store, similar to Hendricks Rexall in
stock though not as Jarse. But Forstrom
felt the general pharmacy was of a "dying
breed". So he sold his store while the
selling was still good and purchased a
franchise with Medicin~ Shoppe, a
pharmaceutiCal chain centered in St.
louis, Missouri. It was a cut-rate operation selling only prescription drugs and
related items, with a guarantee to
undersell any pharmacy in the general
area. Thus in the summer of 1973
Forstrom moved his family to Olympia
and leased the empty shop. on Division
Street, stocked it, oJ)ened and operated
for three days. It all looked fine - good
location, good store, good prospects Page l l

until an unexpected customer, a Thurston
County Official entered the store bearing
a John Hendricks welcoming card to
competition. "It was a restraining order,
an injunction. This shook us up . My wife
and I had never seen any thing like this
before.'' For 13 years Hendricks had been
in business successfully, for 13 years he
had owned the only pbarmacy ·in West
Olympia. That was good business having a cut-rate drug store around the
corner was not. The injunction was "Big
John's" way of informing Forstrom that
"This shopping center isn't big enough for
the both of us. "
In the injunction Hendricks daimed
exclusive legal rights to be the only drug
store operation in the Westside Shopping
Center due to a non-competitive covenant
clause written into his lease. On the
surface he appeared to have a legal
monopoly , but other possibilities lay
beneath that surface, as a brief review of
the center's history will show.
The Complicated Past
West Olympia used to be mostly mud.
Then persons with <;reative foresights and
the money to afford creative foresights
began to mold the firmament into
lucrative ventures . .And thus businessman
Raymond Lewis in 1953 started to build
the Westside Center Inc. By 1960 the mud
had been transformed into Peterson's
Foodtown and parking lot surrounded by
more mud. During that year a somewhat
younger Hendricks leased the property
which is now the Rexall Drug store. In
paragraph 25 of the lease, Hendricks
inserted the covenant stating that he
would have exclusive rights on the sale of
modern drug supplies w ithin the
boundaries of the incorporated center. "A
man in business has to have a lease,"
Hehdricks explained, "to specify the rent,
terms and conditions of the lease. And
certainly exclusivity is a feature that
everyone likes to have read into their
lease.''
The Westside Center Inc . was to grow
no more . Instead Lewis formed a
partnership with real estate broker Ray-

mond Palmer. Together they bought
various adjacent plots to create the
Westside Development Corporation. Their
holdings included what is now the
Westside Bowling Lanes, the strip of
buildings which include the Bank of
Olympia, Robcoes, the Shell Station,
Shakey's and the buildings located on
Division Street including "Plat N" - the
site where Forstrom's pharmacy now sits
idle. The Westside Center Inc. containing
Hendrick's store still belonged solely to
Lewis .
In 1971. following several business
disagreements, Lewis and Palmer decided
to dissolve the Westside Development
Corporation by dividing the shared
properties. Lewis took the bowling lanes
and the strip of building containing the
bank . Palmer received the remaining
properties including the site he later leased
to Forstrom in 1973.
"I had this property free and clear of
any deed restrictions," Palmer recounted.
"Hendricks never bothered to record his
lease, which is like not having a receipt. I
had never seen the lease, I had no reason
to see it because Rexall Drugs never
belonged to me. I never managed it, I
never collected the rent from it. Mr.
Lewis took care of that personally. It was
his personal property. I was never told
there was an exclusive until Hendricks
came in to raise the dickens with me.
When I told Hendricks I couldn't do
anything about (leasing the property to
Forstrom) he says 'Well, I'm just gonna
have to take you to court then.' "
And to court they went - all of them.
Hendricks, Forstrom, Palmer, Lewis'
daughters (lewis had died), the Westside
Center Inc. , and an army of attorneys.
Thurston County Superior Court Judge
Frank E. Baker presided over the case
during the four days of testimony. In
mid-September, 1973 he ruled in favor of
Hendricks.
The defendants and their attorneys
were virtually astounded by the decision.
But Hendricks claimed he won the case
because his exclusive clause applied to the
entire Westside Shopping Center, not just
the Westside Center Inc. Hendricks
Cooper Point Journal

contended and Baker concurred that the
covenant covered any and all additon:
ally appropriated properties, despite
ownership, "if they became part of the
Westside Shopping Center and are
advertised that way."
"According to their theory", Palmer
retorted, "they would still have an
exclusive regardless if I bought everything
out on the Cooper Point peninsula and
still called it the Westside Shopping
Center. That's how stupid it is."
Forstrom was equally upset at the
decision. "Hendricks has an exclusive
clause in his lease for the Westside Center
Inc. but we weren't in that center. We
were in a new building that had nothing
to do with the Center. It was never part
of the Center, that proj>erty was never
owned by the Center. I didn't see any
way we could lose the case."
A worker in a nearby shop offered a
theory which that person considered a
logical conjecture. "Hendricks won the
case simply because he has a lot of
political suck in the legislature."
Appealed and Pending
Just about one year following Baker's
ruling, the Washington State Appeals
Court on September 17 heard the case
again and will issue a ruling within about
six weeks. This time around Forstrom and
Palmer are both extremely confident of
winning the case.
If they do, then "Big John" may have to
become more accustomed to defeat than
victory. An unfavorable decision could
mean financial disaster. He stands to lose
a substantial amount of business if the
Medicine Shoppe opens. In addition it is
not unlikely that Forstrom will sue
Hendricks for lost revenue during the
period of the injunction. His political
future could also be bleakened by a court
loss.
But if ·Hendricks wins the case, his
pharmaceutical monopoly on the Westside
Shopping Center would be firmly
established - at least until the lease runs
out in 1980.

"Big John" Hendricks (top) stands in an
aisle of his Rexall Drug St~re (middle left)
located on the WestsiMe Shopping Center.
On his shirt he wears a card: "John
Hendricks for State Representative."
Around the corner on bivision Street
the Medicine Shoppe (middle right) lies
closed as it has for the past 'year because
of an injunction filed by Hendricks.
Its owner, Don Forstrom (bottom), sits
in his home. "The injunction shocked us.
My wife and I had never seen anything
like it before." He was astounded by the
original court ruling but hopes for a
victory in 'the Appeals Court.

Orientation:
a new year begins
BY WENDY KRAMER

"It makes me feel like a freshman," said
one returning student remarking on the'
number of people on campus Monday. Indeed it was an unusual sight. Almost half
of this year's enrollment of 2,300 students
seemed to be walking around campus
with dazed looks on their faces.
After a quiet three month vacation
things were in full swing as of this week.
People were running around trying to
register for programs, move into campus
housing, acquaint themselves with Evergreen and trying to understand just what
was going on here.
Orientation Week began with a speech
from President McCann welcoming everyone to the "famous place of leisure on
lower Puget Sound." He spoke about his
role at Evergref'n, saying that his job is to
see that "we get more than our share at
the legislature, and no one else gets more
than their share." About 300 people listened to McCann tell them their growth
at Evergreen was the thing that made the
college grow.
"It's a powerful sense of responsibility
to give back more than you get here," he
continued. "The gift of leisure here is the
freedom and responsibility to do something. Put that leisure to work. You must
work to your highest potential.
·
"I like to be called Charlie, Mr.
McCann and then President McCann, in
that order. Don't call me Chuck, it makes
me cry," he said. Relaxed laughter met
that comment. Things began to unwind.
Following McCann's address came the
Academic Fair and registration. Students
began trying to get into programs and
contracts, many of them already closed.
"It's a mess," "It looks like a college,"
"Where am 17" were widely heard comments. Most people were amazed at the
huge line that wound itself around the
second floor of the library building. Even
President McCann commented on it saying, "Please don't do that, we don't do
that here at Evergreen."
In the main floor of the College Activities Building, tables had been set up to
acquaint students with the various organizations, recreational activities and com-

all the planning meetings on holidays .
"He called ohe meeting, and I've never
forgiven him for that, because I missed
the Rose Bowl. We came to know, " he
continued, "that holidays were just not
sacred."
Nichols called Evergreen at its start "a
sea of mud, a dandy mess. " He equated
the "original suspicion" which many
people had about the school to the idea of
"original sin." "Evergreen was starcrossed," he said. "It came along at a time
when all assumptions about things in this

munity resources offered on and around
the campus. There were sign-up sheets for
things from Ujamma, the black student
organization, to Kung Fu, the Women's
Center, Security, and an outside program
for teaching retarded children.
Tuesday morning a · group set out on a
hikers' and bikers' tour of the campus.
The group went down to the waterfront,
to the Geoduck Yacht House, the organic
farm and the Environmental Structures
project site among others. The idea was
to give people a sense of the vast property
belonging to the campus and its varied
uses.
- At noon, the community was treated to
"live entertainment and nostalgic clothing
review" in the main lobby of the Library
"building. The "Old Coast Highway Orchestra and Tattoo Parlor" provided the
music to accompany a fashion show of
1930's clothes provided by Better Days, a
store in downtown Olympia. Carl Cook
and Kim McCartney of the campus radio
station KAOS provided a camp narration
for the show that was divided into four
parts: spring, fall-winter, evening, and
funky clothes. Between each section there·
was a musical interlude. The event was
well received.
The day was topped off by a rummage
sale of lost and found articles accumulated _.
from years past and folk dancing in the
main lobby of the College Activities
Building in the evening.
Registration continued with program
switching set for Thursday. The faculty
tried to be helpful in guiding students in
their choi'c~s, although they were feeling
the effects of the chaos. One faculty member, Kirk Thompson, left the Academic
Fair area, a note in his booth explained,
'Tve moved to my office where it is
quieter to be able to get things done."
On Wednesday morning Director of
College Relations Dick Nichols and Director of Facilities Jerry Schillinger spoke
about the political and physical history of
Evergreen. With the use of planning maps
and aerial photos, they gave the students
a feel for the college and its property.
Nichols told about the early days of
Evergreen when McCann seemed to call
Septem.ber 26, 1974

country were falling apart. And here we
were, introducing the idea of a new college when old colleges were literally
blowing up ."
Nichols fini shed by telling the students
about his job in public relations. 'Tm like
the beer salesman trying to sell Olympia
beer. The only problem is that I pissed in
. the bottle and now I can't sell my product." In this vein he summed up the faculty's responsibility in presenting the best
image for Evergreen: "Make sure there's
beer in the bottles and not piss."

to Evergreen

BY BARBARA MADSEN

Orientation week is a time of return for
many, but for a sizeable percentage it
marks the beginning of the "Evergreen experience." With microphone in hand, I recently mingled throughout the incoming
crowds. Some were in the process of
moving in, others were simply observing,
awaiting the development of ideas which
had brought them to Evergreen. Their responses varied, especially in answering
the questions of "What originally attracted you. to The Evergreen State
College7" and "What aspect of education
here did you find.most attractive7" While
some read about The Evergreen State College as an alternative to "higher" education in books and college handbooks,
others were motivated to apply simply because of the uniqueness of this school.
Most were favorably impressed with
Evergreen's atmosphere, that it was one of
optimism, even excitement. Several of
them had transferred from other United
States colleges, dissatisfied and frustrated:
a female transfer student from California
stated that she was "just so tired of sitting
in classrooms and taking tests, of being
passive." Another student who had
dropped out of Vassar College a year ago
said that since then he had done a number of other things, like traveling abroad
and studying meditation. Recognizing his
state of disillusionment while at a California yoga camp, he read about Evergreen
in a book entitled THIS WAY UP. Soon
after his initial introduction, while
looking through the Evergreen catalogue,
he (in his own words) realized "the coordinated-studies approach was the only
way I wanted to study, absolutely the
only way."
The extent to which the individual students differed was reflected in their backgrounds. At least half the students I interviewed were from out of state, primarily
California, Oregon and the east coast,
with several from Chicago. One southern
neighbor said that a few years ago he'd
been hanging around Reed College, a
school he knew to have "pretty high
st~ndards" when h.e heard that all the
Page 16

Cooper Point Journal

teachers were leaving. He wondered
where they were going and he decided
that he would like to be headed for the
same place. Consequently; he wrote to
The Evergreen State College.
One determined-looking arrivee said
that he was prepared not to go to college
at all unless he found one that was intelligently set up. "lt's ·very difficult to choose
a program because there are so many
good ones." The next student added, "I
support the idea of some faculty members
repeating programs. If they're good, they
deserve two or three, maybe even four
years." A gentleman I cornered in the elevator responded, "I came in the hopes
that they'd let me do what I wanted to do
with no classroom interference or anything ... and the fact that they'd buy
film for me. I don't know what the year
will hold - I hate the room! I hate the
room."
"It's beautiful, a beautiful area; I'm
pleased. I see a lot of people walking
around ... Nobody knows each other
but some stop and talk ... It's nice." "It's
very high." "I visited once before ... I
camped out a little off of Red Square.
Stuck my tent in the ground which was
really neat because I tried it at some other
campuses and got kicked off by security."
''I'm super-impressed by the people I've
met here: the interest they have in what
they're doing. Their lives in particular just the way they're conducting their
lives!" To end this barrage of enthusiastic
response, here's a colorful comment:
"Physically? I like the trees, yah. No
grades? It's the best damn college so far!"

·AMERICAN·
PERSPECTIVE·S
BY NICHOlAS H. AlliSON

The Infallible Doc·ument
The slow downfall of the overdistended
and diseased Nixon presidency has served
as the focal point of a "public debate" on
presidential power and the issues relating
to it. "Public debate" is the name we attach to a kind of disorganized free-for-all
in which politicians, journalists, historians, and everyone else who think they
have something to say all air their views,
the idea being that the marketplace of
ideas will automatically select the suggestions with the highest quality and applicability. It is the economic model transferred bodily into the realm of the mind:
a laissez faire competition in which the
best ideas - i.e., those with the biggest
payoff of truth - will survive.
• But of course this process doesn't work.:
The collective mind of the public does not
receive each new idea on the same terms
and weigh it justly on its respective logical merits. The factors affecting an ldea's
accep,tance range from who produces it to
how well it fits with tradition, whether its
ramifications are frightening or not (and
this can work both ways - occasionally
an idea or prediction will gain currency
because of its shock value), whether it
forces a reexamination of one's assUmptions, what kind of language it is couched
in, and so on. All of these factors are theoretically irrelevant to the soundness of
the concept itself.
In our national debate on presidential
power (which has mysteriously ended
now that Richard Nixon has left office, as
if the Presidency itself were different now
that it is occupied by a likeable man) the
final standard of an argument's soundness
was its "constitutionality." The debate
never strayed outside these bounds, the
a5sumption being that if we could just
figure out what the C::onstitution dictated
as a response to our troubles we would
find the solution to them. This faith in the
infallibility of the Constitution is an ever
present element in American political
thought.
At the time this nation was born, it had
no traditions or culture of its own. It was
the first nation which did not slowly
evolve over hundreds of years but was

produced by a conscious positive action
in response to a perceived need. The
Founding Fathers felt that the government
under which they were living was unjust
and inefficient, and in a genuine convergence of self-interest and idealism they set
up a system of government in which men
would live with both prosperity and
freedom , unhampered by the . bonds of
tradition or aristocracy. To a great extent
they were successful. The new nation
brought more benefits to more of its citizens than any other had.
But in the absence of any American traditions or culture to give shape to the nation, the Constitution was called upon to
fill all kinds of roles. It was the sole
source of our basic political structure. It
was the ultimate arbiter of all political
disputes. The men who framed it were
our national heroes, and the way in
which ,they did so was the final word in
courage and decorum.
In the country's first century or so, all
this idolization was necessary if we were
to have the confidence and strength essential to our survival. However it's been
nearly two hundred years now that we've
been relying on a single document. Many
things have changed since the eighteenth
century, and the needs of a 200-year-old
nation are bound to be at least somewhat
different than those of a new one. Perhaps it's time to consider revising the
Constitution.
It is tempting to reject this idea out of
hand. Why tamper with what we've got7
After all, hasn't the Constitution served
us well this far7 Well, that's the question:
has it7
We now have in office a President who
was not elected to that post. He has just ·
excused his predecessor from any punishment for crimes he committed against the
nation. We are about to have in office
our second unelected vice-president in less
than a year. The executive branch has become a gigantic and powerful conglomeration of officials, most of whom are
neither elected nor confirmed by elected
representatives. Huge businesses wield
more political power than private citizens.

Secret agencies of the government, unregulated by the public in any way, interfere
in the internal politics of other nations
and spy on citizens here at home. Is any
of this - any of this - what we as a
people have decided we want7
Economic realities have changed since
the Constitution was written, and ' the
Fathers' original intention of extending a
fair chance to every struggling entrepreneur has been corrupted to protect any
business, however large, from any restraints on its activity . Anti-trust legislation and other regulations have done
something to curb this, but since they
must operate within the fundamentally
laissez faire framework of the Constitution their effectiveness is limited.
The increasing rapidity and ubiquitousness of communication media have also
altered the political scene. Advertisers
manipulate opinions; opinion polls affect
what they examine. Presidents (and others
to a lesser degree) are under constant
scrutiny by the news media, and their every action has immediate consequences
everywhere. Under this examination the
distinction between public and private life
is blurring, as we continue to expect our
presidents to be both personal moral leaders and competent prime ministers, the
qualifications for which are in fact quite
different.
The mechanism for revising or replacing the Constitution would have to be decided upon, and obviously the transition
would need to be systematic and
organized rather 'than piecemeal, or chaos
would result from the lack of a definite
standard. The task would be a difficult
one. But it would occasion the kind of examination of our history and national
purpose which we desperately need, and
it would provide a forum for that examination which would allow the organized
presentation of ideas and finally the·
reaching of conclusions in a way that our
current mode of "public debate" definitely
does not.

The Journal would like to provide, both on its editorial pages and
elsewhere, a forum for the views
and ideas of the Evergreen community. Any student, staff, or faculty member interested in contributing is invited to come in and talk to
Special Editor Nick Allison in the
Journal office, CAB 306.

Planning courses
Most students arriving at Evergreen this year will get the impression - correctly - that the coordinated studies program is
the basic mode of study at the college. To be sure, the college
strongly urges students to sign up for a program duting their first
term instead of attempting an individual or group contract and if
they do try for a contract they find that they are discouraged by
the school's administration ~nd have difficulty finding a faculty
member with the time and inclination to sponsor them.
This is not a preference which the school has consciously
chosen, and some faculty members at this summer's retreat at Fort
Worden expressed dismay at the increasing emphasis· on coordinated studies. Merv Cadwallader, who first introduced the idea of
coordinated studies, and Peter Elbow produced two of the strongest position papers advocating their de-emphasis. The coordinated studies mode, while it is one of the unique and potentially
rewarding aspects of the Evergreen curriculum, is also potentially
ineffectual, erratic, and useless if it is motivated by a sense of
duty rather than interest and excitement.
President McCann said in his orientation speech Monday that it
is important to plan one's academic course, roughly at least, well
in advance so that some kind of building process can take place.
But with the chronic uncertainty about what programs will be of--

Journal
Com.m.entar y
fered in years ahead, whether they will be worth one's time or
not, and whether it will be possible to find. a faculty sponsor for a
contract, this kind of long-range planning is almost impossible.
Another statement of McCann's in his speech emphasized a recurring problem with finding faculty sponsors: there is no structure for doing so. Sponsor hur.ting is an every-man-for-himself,
first-come-first-served contest with nowhere near enough faculty
to accommodate the number of students searching. McCann's
advice to the students seeking contracts was merely to _"persevere." This is hardly an adequate response to the students' needs.
Coordinated studies are important, but should not be the basic
mode of education at Evergreen. There should be far fewer than
there are now, and they should be well designed. There should be
an increasing emphasis on contracts, and faculty hiring should be
geared to this so that faculty with expertise in varying fields will
be available for contracts in a systematic and reliable way.
Evergreen is "turning the coordinated study mode into duty and is
thereby imposing a requirement on faculty and students that they
"go through" coordinated studies before they can "get out" of
them - which does no real good.

CIA Diplomacy
Recent disclosures prompted by the leaking of a Congressman's
letter have confirmed that, without the knowledge or consent of
the American people, the White House funneled at least· eight million dollars into Chile between 1970 and 1973 to weaken the
elected government of Salvador Allende. Allende was killed and
his government toppled in a military coup one year ago, at which
·time the United States denied any involvement.
There is not yet any direct evidence that the CIA actually enSeptember 26, 1974

gineered the coup, although that remains a possibility. What this
episode has demonstrated is the extent to which the CIA can conceal its operations from the Congress which supposedly regulates
it. The fact that these disclosures were made at all was the result
of an accident, and the facts revealed by it bring testimony by
various State Department and CIA officials, including Henry
Kissinger, into serious doubt.
What on earth are we doing with a secret agency like the CIA
in this country? How did the CIA, by name an intelligence-gathering agency, evolve into a political guerilla force7 Aside from the
fact that intervention in the internal politics of other nations frequently leads to embarrassing fiascos (viz. Bay of Pigs and the secret Laos war), it is completely unconscionable. Even interference
with totalitarian dictatorships in other nations is none of our business, and attempts to weaken or overthrow a legitimately elected
government like Allende's simply because we object to it on ideological and economic grounds is shocking and inexcusable. The
agency is acting as our de facto representatives abroad. The CIA
must be turned back into an intelligence agency or dismantled, before their covert and unregulated warfare disgraces us completely.

Beginning to Iis ten.
The two cement signs on the campus parkway which identify
the beginning of the Evergreen campus have been anonymously
painted in bright colors for a second time, after a previous paint
job on one of the signs had been erased. The original painting of
the westernmost sign had been the focus of a minor controversy:
some praised the decoration as relieving and artistic - in the
words of faculty member Paul Marsh "a playful and loving piece
of work designed to put a little warmth into Concrete Slab U." while others agreed with Facilities Director Jerry Schillinger's description of it as "pure vandalism."
Recently, less ~han two months after the fJrst sign was cleaned,
both signs were painted again, this time with even more elaborate
care. The expected response from Schillinger would be anger. Instead he has taken this repeat performance as a message - a

message to the administration that plain concrete signs are not
what the students want. Schillinger has decided to h\'ld a contest,
or some other forum, for receiving student designs for the signs.
In the past Schillinger has tended not to take student opinion
into account before acting on projects under his control (for example, environmental problems with the Communications building, or opposition to the lights along the parkway). This attitude
on the part of college administrators is congenital, since permanent administrators tend to see their own plans and wishes as
rather more important than those of the students, who are basically transient members of the school. But of course a college is
for the students, and the fundamental role of the administration is
to facilitate student well-being. Schillinger's response to the signs'
controversy, although it may be principally one of realism, implies an increasing respect for student opinion on his part which
we cotild •all stand more of here at Evergreen .

The views expressed in this column represent a consensus of the
Journal's editors.

zations under direction of the Services
and Activities (S&:A) Fees Review Board .
.The majority of that fund is allocated by
the administration to a number of set
funds such as Building and Equipment
Depreciation ~eserves, money for the
future construction of CAB II, and other
operational expenses relating to student
activities.
Washington State law defines that
portion of student tuition (the College
Activities Fund) as being for the "express
purpose of funding student activities and
programs." A number of students and
those involved with the S &: A Board
asserted it was the intent of the legislators
who sponsored the bill that students have
a say in the allocation of all those monies.
However, in his letter to the DTF,
Montecucco wrote that, "The statement
(that proper expenditure of S &: A fees
must be related to a decision made by the
students) has absolutely no effect what
so ever on expenditure of S &: A fees by a
Board of Trustees."
What the DTF now proposer; to do is
define clearly the roles of I all those
.involved and thereby hopefully open lines
of communication and enable the processes to work, as they now exist.
Although Clabaugh believes this will
not satisfy all those involved with the
issue, he hopes it will create a workable
model for continued study and revision.
MODEL-NETICS INTRODUCED
ATTESC

Pa~e

2l

Two weeks ago in mid-September at
Evergreen there occurred a week-long
series of lectures on management given by
a company called Main Event Management Corporation. Their copyrighted
course, called Model-Netics, was attended
by 32 members of the Evergreen staff and
deans in management positions and
brought to Evergreen by Director of
Auxiliary Services John Moss.
The course, which cost Evergreen
$10,000, is based on "management for everyone." Their definition of management
encompasses more than business. One of
the brochures reads, "Management is defined as the accomplishment of pre-determined objectives through others." Moss
elaborated by saying that any time anyone organizes an outing with some friends
"that's management."
At first glance, because many symbols
and catch-phrases are used to conjure
images and concepts in the students'
minds, the course appears rather gimmicky. However, Moss explained, "It's
just a recall method. The important thing
is to get the individual to recognize how
the models fit into the individual's real
life."
One of Model-Netics' basic techniques
Cooper Point Journ..

Moss, who was first impressed by the
program when IBM used Evergreen's facilities last year for a session of the lectures,
is presently in Sacramento taking a course
in order to become an official instructor
of Modei-Netics. His primary reason is
that he wants to make the program available to Evergreen through the classes he
plans to teach here for interested faculty
and students as well as staff. Moss said
that because everyone uses management
in different ways every day, the program
is useful to almost anyone. Dean Lynn
Patterson , who attended the course,
advised that everyone should at least sit
in on it when Moss comes back to teach
it.
Norm Levy , a student who was hired to
video-tape the lectures, questioned the use
of $10,000 to bring the program to Evergreen, an academic institution. " It's a
good program - for IBM. But TESC is
not after profit . We're after educated
people."
Patterson , when questioned on this
matter, agreed that it was unnecessarily a
"damned expensive management program. " But she called Levy's idea that it

wasn't useful to Evergreen "nonsense.
Nothing that they talked about wasn't
applicable to Evergreen. "
The only criticism of the program itself
was leveled by Patterson charging one of
the instructors was "sexist and racist." She
said that his presentation got in the way
of the material he was teaching. For instance, she said that Ple talked about the
manager (a man) dealing with subordinate, wife, and child, in one breath. Patterson was relieved, however, when the
second teacher "didn't put his values between the audience and the material."
Patterson felt that because she was uncertain of how much information would
be retained and used in the future by
those who participated, one achievement
for participants will be that they will be
able to list the course on their resumes as
an impressive accomplishment.

Another one of their tenets is that
Model-Netics is for everyone in an organization. Their reason is that a common
language is needed so that everyone, including the "subordinates," understands
how the organization and the management process work. Director of Recreation
and Campus Activities Pete Steilberg commented that after attending the program
he "became aware of how I relate to superiors and subordinates."

which take advantage of the individual's
prior experience. One of their models is
that an average 40-year-old ind~dual
has about 233,600 hours of previous experience in managing of some kind and a
course consisting of 25 to 30 hours is not
going to make much of an impact.
What they do with the common sense
concepts is organize them into a usable
system so that there is nothing totally
new in the program to forget in a short
time. One device they hand out at the
meetings is a pamphlet called the "ModelNetics Memory Jogger" which contains all
151 models for reference in the individual's "real time situations." The booklet
notes that it "may be reviewed in this
format in only 10 to 15 minutes per day."

college parkway. Anti-lighting petitions
were circulated, many letters to the Editor
were received by the Journal on the subject, ad hoc committ~s formed, and one
student even called for the resignation of
Schillinger. Many were worried about the
effect of the lights on area wildlife. For
those concerned, it was an exercise in futility. Early last week the T otero Electric
Company started putting the lamp posts
in place on the parkway, each with a 250watt mercury lamp. By the end of October, the $163,000 lighting system is expected to be in full operation.
What first appeared to be a parking lot
on the playing field when construction began during August was actually the beginnings of four new tennis courts with rubberized asphalt surfaces. The courts will
be lighted for evening use. Completion of
the $63,000 project is set for mid-October
- weather permitting.
,
During the summer, a corps of groundkeepers and hired students hacked their
way through the Evergreen forests to lay
out a nature trail leading to the Puget
Sound Waterfront. The 3/ 4-mile footpath
begins at Parking lot F near the residence
halls and ends up at the Geoduck House
situated on Eld Inlet. A small bridge was
constructed to traverse a stream.
Contested Art
Although no funds were ever requested
for it from the legislature, there was one
other bit of summer construction which
some have called vandalism' and o'thers
art. Last Spring a ph~ntom painter drew
an impressionistic landscape on the cement Evergreen State College sign located
at the west end of the college parkway.
Following the painting's erasure by the
contractor, the anonymous artist returned
one July night to repaint the sign. Shortly
afterwards, the phantom struck the eastern sign with a colorful brush.
This time Schillinger has decided nol to
continue the battle by erasing the new
signs. Instead, he told the Journal. a
contest will be held to solicit student designs for the signs because "apparently
they're not going to be ceme~t."

.
Planning and construction of the
bicycle trail took all of two years,
according to Clabaugh.
Other scheduled projects in the Highway Department's multi-million dollar
construction project on the Parkway
include an overpass spanning Harrison
Avenue and a roadway directly connecting Evergreen to Highway 101, said Clabaugh.
CONTROVERSIAL IUD REMAINS

The Dalkon Shield, an intrauterine
contraceptive device for women, will
continue to be the recdmmended IUD
available at Evergreen's Health Services.
The Dalkon Shield and other IUDs
(Saf-T -Coil, Lippes Loop, etc.) have
been under study recently by the Food
and Drug Administration (FDA) as a
result of reports connecting the IUD with
several deaths and cases of miscarriage
coupled with serious infection, all in
women who continued their pregnaAcies
with the IUD in place. This infectious
condition is known as a septic spontane-

ous abortion and occurs in the fourth,
fifth, and sixth months of pregnancy.
The symptoms are high temperature, sore
throat, "flu", and abdominal tenderness.
It is known that the Dalkon Shield is
not the only IUD responsible for such
complications, A significant number of
these cases have been reported in women
using other kinds of IUDs. Because the
Dalkon Shield is the most commonly used
IUD in the United States, there have been
a proportionately larger number of these
infections connected with the IUD. However, until the FDA completes its study,
the distribution of the Dalkon Shield is
being temporarily discontinued by its
manufacturer~ the A.H. Robins Company.
Health Services chose to continue using
the Dalkon Shield because, as director-coordinator, Edwina Dorsey-Travis, said,
"There are thE' '!<~me r.Qmplications with
any IUD." Also primary in the decision is
the fact that Health Services has had very
good results with the Dalkon Shield. It
showed low pregnancy and expulsion
rates, and no perforat!on. It was also
designed for women who have never had
any children.

Because the complication arises only in
pregnant women relatively late after
conception, Health Services recommends
that there is no need to have Dalkon
Shields removed in women wearing them
without problems. They advise, however, that anyone with any kind of IUD
who misses her period come to Health
Services for evaluation of possible
pregnancy. Abortion is strongly recommended in the case of pregnancy with the
presence of an IUD to insure against any
complication.
NEW STAFF AND FACULTY
last spring marked the er~d of a school
year, the termination of various administrative contracts, a time of resignation,
promotion, hiring and firing. As a result,
The Evergreen State College welcomes to
the campus various new additions of staff
and faculty .
There are seven new full-time faculty
members. Rainier Hasenstab brings with
him not only an interesting name but a
speaking knowledge of Dutch and German. His specialty is environmental design. Hasenstab served as an associate
professor of environmental design at the
State University of New York at Buffalo,
and has been an instructor at the University of Washington and an associate prolessor at the University of California at
Berkeley.
Peta Henderson is a native of Belfast,
·Ireland. and comes to Evergreen with an
expertise in anthropology. She is a graduate of Swarthmore College and holds a
master's degree from McGill University.
Henderson is a former research assistant
and lecturer in anthropology at the
University of Connecticut and expects to
complete her doctorate there this year.
Russell lidman comes to us from the
nation's capital. where he served as an
economics consultant. Lidman is also a
former professor of economics at Oberlin
College.
lynn Struve, a faculty member of the
coordinated studies program "Chinese
Civilization" is a native of Washington
and has a doctorate in <!hinese history.
She has spent three years in the Republic
of China and has also lived in Japan. She
speaks and writes both Chinese and
Japanese.

Susan Aurand comes to Evergreen from
Ohio State University where she completed her masters in ceramics. William
Brown received his doctorate in geography
from the University of California at Berkeley. Brown is a former assistant
professor at the University of California
at Santa Cruz and brings to Evergreen a
specialty of high demand in academic
priorities. Don Jordon joins the faculty as
an expert in Native American Studies.
In August Michelle Hayes assumed her
position as a career counsel"

Michelle Hayes
at the college. The position was formerly
held on a part-time basis by Helena
Knapp. Hayes formerly served as a counselor for a California Upward Bound program and has also served on the counseling staff of the Emanual Medical Center
in Turlock , California. At Evergreen she
is concerned with career counseling, graduate school advising, life style planning

WHAT EVE-R GREEN'S GOT
"Evergreen appears to exist as a reaction
against all the th ing_s that are wrong . with
the ·'outside world'~
It began to look suspicious when Nick
approached me with all the air of an officer about to request volunteers for a suicide mission. The prospects weren't much
better. Turns out he wanted me to write a
weekly sports column for the Journal.
Against my better judgment, I accepted
the challenge, and what a challenge it is.
. In many ways Evergr~n appears to exist as a reaction against all the things that
are wrong with the 'outside world' especially as perpetrated by other institutions
of higher learning. Among these 'wrongs,'
one of the most prominent is the spectre
of big-time intercollegiate athletics. Resultingly there is very little here to provide
copy for a sports reporter; no football
te~m, no stadium, no cheerleaders.
Contrary to appearances, though, athletics at Evergreen are not completely
dead. In fact it thrives wherever people

get the urge to tone their bodies as well as
their minds. One just has to dig a· little
deeper to find it, that's all .
Consequently, it seems fitting to devote
the. first (and possibly last) column to the
opportunities available for avid and notso-avid athletes at Evergreen.
On the individual level, the campus recreation center (or CRC) provides the opportunity for racquetball as welL.as swimming. There's lots of room for running on
campus, and there seem to be plenty of
joggers around to take advantage of the
opportunity (although their numbers will
probably decline drastically as the
weather gets wetter and colder).
On the team level, the record is spotty
to say the least. There being no coaches
or athletic department, the existence of
teams depends entirely on the initiative of
individuals who will eventually leave or

burn out. Last year's entry in the Olympia city touch football league is a prime
example. Nobody has heard anything
from the rugby team this year either, although it's hard to believe that the ol'
beer squad won't show up sometime later
this fall.
One effort that seems to be succeeding
so far is a so~cer program spearheaded by
student Ed Alkire. For now the competition is mostly intramural, but Alkire
hopes to be competing in the Washington
State Soccer League come January.
When winter comes to Evergreen, basketball is l<ing. Last year at least three
teams participated in off-campus competition. There were two entries in the Olympia Parks and Recreation Department's
city league. One each in the male and female divisions. Another team was formed
by the Native American Student's Association (NASA).
The Steam Plant Gym provides a warm
indoor facility for both volleyball and
gymnastics (in addition to basketball).
Both activities consistently attract considerable interest.
In the spring, an Evergreener's thoughts
turn to many things including softball.
The intramural competition was limited
but enthusiastic, and a summer entry in a
local league attracted a large segment of
the community.
Perhaps the greatest area of sporting interest for Evergreeners is the realm of outdoor recreation. This includes kayaking,
mountain and rock climbing, snowshoeing, yachting, and cross-country and
downhill skiing. The Geoduck Yacht Club
and the kayakers are already off to a
strong start. Mountaineering and ski pro- ~
grams are in various stages of development and sure to make their appearances
later in ~he year.
Overall, athletics and recreation are
typical of most activities at Evergreen; by
and large it takes more energy to get what
you could get for less effort someplace
else. Or, to paraphrase a former rugby
player who shall go unnamed: "It's not
enough to be a jock, you've gotta be a
creative jock."

FINE AND SIMPLE
There are a few velyeteen paintings on the wall, a
sign BREKFUSS ALL DAY hanging over the kitchen.
Among the various gastronomic and atmospheric delights in our busy city of
Ol ympia there exist a few reasonably
priced idiosyncrasies: Captain Coyote's,
Spud and Elma's, The Artichoke Mode,
The Melting Pot, all of which may sometimes be the cause of heartburn, hangover
or headache . A name that resounds
' among the great is an all-American diner
located on Mud Bay Road, Pete and
Gay's Cafe. On your way and in a hurry
down Mud Bay Road toward the entrance of Highwa y 101 you'd hardly notice this landmark with its fifties "How
the West Was Won" air and good humor.
It is as sparsely decor<tted within as it is
w ithout. There are a few velveteen paintings on the wall , a sign "BREKFUSS ALL
DAY" hanging over the kitchen, and Pete
and Gay who are the actual permanent
fixtures and the reason for frequenting the
place.

Pete and Gay are an older couple, pioneers of the west, and have been entrepreneurs in the food business for years. Pete
has a good-humored quiet face , more
sunken than lined; Gay is plump and
pretty, the lines on her face prove a mellowed mischief and a fading beauty , once
fair now gay.
The morning that I arrived at the diner
there were five mild men wearing
tee-shirts and blue workshirts sitting at a
table quietly throwing dice, five Evergreen
longhairs sat in a corner, busy-looking
men with time to kill sat at the tables
along the window , and a couple of gallantly gaunt and faded men sat at the
booth sipping coffee and eyeing Gay. Gay
cried out to the folks from Evergreen,
"You fellows want anything?"
"Yeah , we're looking for a job," came a
kidding reply.
"Pete," Gay turned to the kitchen,

"train these fellas and pack your bags.
These boys need work and we're leavin'."
There was a general approval among the
crowd; the longhairs were laughing and
shyly glancing at one another, Gay was
smiling, and we were all looking back and
forth at each other grinning. As she
passed by the m.en with the dice game she
mentioned, " I used to pay my electric
bills with the money I won at the pinball
machines. I was gettin' real good at
knowin' just when them things was full
and I'd just walk on over, put in a couple
of coins and hit the jackpot." I was delighted; Gay seemed amused.
"Here, " she whispered to those at the
booth, "I got somethin' to show you. "
She brought from the kitchen two gold
nuggets welded to a tie clasp. "I found
that in one of them treasure bags they
have at the Goodwill for forty-nine cents.
Here Mac, you been to Alaska , I think it's
one of them mining nuggets you get in
Alaska. " She offered it to Mac, we passed
it around. Mac said it came from Alaska.
Gay said she thought it came from
Alaska. I said she should take it to a jeweler. She said she was going to take it to a
jeweler. Mac showed us his ring. ''You
ain't seen Qothin' like this befow." It was
a giant ring with two stones, one coral,
one turquoise . We mused. When a fellow
asked for a cup of coffee Gay told him to
get his own coffee and laughed back to
Pete, "Pete, I think we got a renegade
here." By that time we were all laughing,
not just grinning. Gay slipped off to talk
to the folks from Evergreen to see if she
could help them out with more than
breakfast. The rest of us returned to our
meals.
Pete and Gay's Cafe is a good place to
stop off with a newspaper and have a cup
of homemade soup . a hamburger and

pickle. The food is fine and simple. The
diner is a good place to keep informed
about politics, Gay being a staunch and
outspoken Democrat. The people who freqllfnt the cafe are refreshing and interesting, and Pete and Gay themselves are the
perfect companions for a coffee break.

BORING NORTHWEST
"There is nothing exciting .abo':Jt peaceful Indians,
store owners, Territorial Governors, and fishermen.'~
Totem Tales of Old Seattle,
Gordon Newell and Don Sherwood,
Ballantine, 1974.
Those who are products of a local education will be nearly unanimous in their
agreement that the topic least worthy of
discussion and consideration while in
grammar school is Washington State history. The dull, faded textbooks, pea-green
and battered, filled with the grainy photographic plates of nearly a century ago, are
the home of dry and intensely dull accounts outlining the surveying of the Oregon Territory, the route (though none of
the adventures) of Captain Vancouver,
and the rise of the "great port" of Seattle,
which climbed out of the mud-flats and
clamshells of Alki Point and was settled
by pioneers who seemed to have no more
than two last names: Denny and Boren
(which is nearly true). The only light
point in the texts, for the student, are the
brief .-ccounts of the slaughter of Marcus
Whitman and company in Eastern Washington (itself an unknown quantity). This
massacre is the only high point in the volumes of history that, however minute;
have failed to tum up any facts or event>
that can closely parallel the Wild West cf
television. One has to face facts: for a
child filled with televjsion there is nothing
exciting about loggers, peaceful Indians,
store owners, Territorial Governors, and
fishermen. These not only seem to be the
only i~habit_ant~ of the history books, but
the -e~tir~ population of the Nor\hwest in
the period of intense growth which began
in the mid-nineteenth century.
But the lack of decent historical coverage of the Northwest, for the popular
reader, extends beyond what the school
child must face . While colorful local history abounds, there is little that can tie it
into the state, the nation, even the world
as a whole beyond blithe and obligatory
references to some of the more traditional
and established characterizations of certain periods in American history (The
Time of Boom or Bust, The Great Depression, The Golden . Age, The Industrial
Age, etc.) . While these nods at perspective add little to the knowledge of the
reader, they place a fine film over the historian's work, giving a paste-wax shine of
thoroughness and research.
September 26, 1974

Superficiality is the main problem witJ.
Northwest history, and in this review Seattle history specifically. The public ir
given, in' its youth, !:,.:;ring, unrr.ern<>rable
accounts of dates and places, and in adulthood colorful yet shallow accounts of locdl color. The color is refreshin~. and it is
:o th!' rredit of books such as the late
Nard Jones's Seattle and Murray Morgan's Skid Road that they have provided
entertaining stories and tales which give a
good flavor of Seattle's early years. The
same is true of Gordon Newell's Totem
Tales of Old Seattle which, of the three,
gives perhaps the most colorful and
Newell's book, written in 1956 yet just
recently published and circulated as a new
book, follows the traditional pattern of
tracing Seattle's history from the voyage
of the Denny party which founded the
town of New York (later renamed Seattle)
in the rainy winter of 1851. His first tale,
relating the voyage and landing, gives its
emphasis to the seasickness which plagued
the passengers, and vivid accounts are
given of Charles Terry barfing in his
trunk and Mrs. Alexander, flopping on
the deck in her own vomit, holding a pan
of salmon, convulsing at every mention of
the word "fish." From there the book
plunges onward, relating the entrance of
Doc Maynard, one of Seattle's principal
founders, standing in a canoe' with Chief
Seattle, drinking whiskey and looking for
a new home after being run out of Olympia for giving away the contents of his
store while intoxicated. Apparently he
was a chronic offender. And Newell
doesn't stop there with his color. The rest
of the book seems to be .carried along by
an undercurrent of fast living, hard drinking, whoring, and shady business deals,
not to mention the riots and brawls the
Wobblies caused. It becomes cltar that Seattle, while perhaps founded by a few
dedicated settlers, grew into its own as a

city because of the sin it cradled. Newell
goes so far as to suggest that it was Seattle's first whorehouse that tipped the
balance in the city's favor, leading it on
to become a metropolis. While this might
have been a contributing factor, the
argument for it is hardly supported.
The book all in all is entertaining. With
the tales described above it can hardly
avoid it, but excepting the undercurrent
of sin throughout, it is little different in
format, in theme, in observation than
either Jones's book or Morgan's. It is just
one more pea in the pod.
One cannot help but feel, after reading
these books, and Newell's in particular,
that Seattle, and the Northwest as a
whole, deserves more in popular history
than it is getting. There have been enough
accounts of flavor and character. What is
needed now, for the popular reader as
well as the student, is a serious attempt to
put the Northwest in an historical perspective. It is important to bring the Northwest out of the backwaters of history,
and examine it in a way that will be of
value to its inhabitants.

SPIES AND BUMBLERS
"There is a slighly obscure qua~ity, in
American eyes, to most Foreign Films . . • "
The Tall Blond Man w,ith. One Black Shoe
Directed by Yves Robert
Starring Pierre Richard
Americans, on the whole, like to watch
American movies. It's extremely unusual
for a foreign film to have the kind of
mass popularity and appeal that a big
American one can - e.g., The Exorcist,
The Sting, The French Connection. Often
foreign films are hailed by critics as sensitive, artistic, innovative, or full of meaning, but the public simply doesn't respond
With the same enthusiasm. The reason is
that there is a slightly obscure quality, in .
American eyes, to most foreign films: a
perception that they are grounded in different assumptions and traditions, and if
they are to fulfill the creative function of
film, which is to expand the mind or refresh the senses, it is necessary that they
have a common starting point with the
film's intended audience.
Tile creative element in a film can be
defined as its ability to play against the
viewer's assumptions and either lampoon
them, challenge them, or shatter them. If
this process by which the film affects the
viewer is to work, then the "givens" be-

hind the film - meaning the assumptions
or cdstoms it is grounded in - must also
be givens for the viewer. Otherwise the
new will be no different than the old, and
the force of the contrast will be lost.
A type of film which often manages to
transcend its cultural bounds and affect
American audiences in the way it was intended to at home is the French comedy.
Perhaps it is because the French have an
eye for the silliness inherent in much of
life, and that perception is universal. One
film which toys beautifully with several
different themes, almost different genres,
and manages to interweave them without
any losing their impact is Yves Robert's
The Tall Blond Man With One Black
Shoe. Although first and foremost a comedy, the film has elements of both romance and James Bond-style suspense.
The basic device of the film is this : two
counter-intelligence agencies in France are
feuding. Agency A leads agency B to believe an important secret agent is to arrive
at the airport and then leads them to a
randomly chosen man who, when he first
appears, is carrying a violin case and
wearing a brown shoe and a black shoe.
Played by Pierre Richard, a genuine and

original comic talent, the blond man blunders through his daily life with his every
move watched and analyzed by the
puzzled agents. Every step, every phone
call, every idiosyncratic walk or motion,
even the losing of a filling on a piece of
candy, is taken as an important clue as
agency B struggles to figure out how he is
operating.
A romantic interest is introduced in an
effort to pry the blond man's secrets from
his 1 brilliantly disguised personality; and
since of course there are no secrets to be
plied and the blond man is anyway an
odd and bumbling type, his encounters
with the woman only confuse the agents
further. Naturally, everything turns out
for the best in the end.
Though it has received very little attention in this country, The Tall Blond Man
is probably the best comedy to come out
of France since Jacques Tati's Playtime. In
typical French fashion it provides an evening more of chuckles and delights than
belly-laughs (although it has its share of
those), and in its own small way is a ·
near-perfect film.

Desperation over what to do on an idle
Friday or Saturday night is a chronic
problem for Evergreeners. For that reason
it is worthwhile to get acquainted with
two ongoing places of entertainment at
the college: the Evergreen coffeehouse
and the Friday Nite Film Series.
The coffeehouse operates out of the
ASH commons, at the far side of the
second ASH parking lot, and is a
non-profit organization partly funded by
an S & A allocation. On Fridays and
Saturday nights musicians of various
styles give informal concerts, and on.
Sunday nights there are movies. If you
would like to perform at the coffeehouse
or find out more about it, leave a message
for Carrilu Thompson in the box in the
Activities Office (CAB 305).
Every Friday night there is \ film
shown in Lecture Hall /11 for an admission
price of 50 cents. The films range from
modems to classics, and schedules are
available several weeks in advance. The
Friday Nite Film Series has a mailbox for
inquiries and suggestions in tHe Activities
Office (CAB 305) as well.
