This week's feature story deals 'with the possibility that KAOS-FM, the
campus radio station, will be installing a new 1,000-watt transmitter in the
ne(\r future. This step up in power also represents an added dimension of responsibility for the station, a matter of concern to both the ..station personnel
and the college's administration . ~""::'"~~
KAOS first received its FCC
broadcasting license in January
of 1973, and began operating
out of two small offices (its
present main studio and record
room) with two ancient turntables given to it by KGY radio
in Olympia. The first song
KAOS played oA the air was
the Dan Hicks song "Success."
Since' then KAOS has encountered more success: it has
added a news room, two studios, and an office, and has
continually upgraded its equipment.
In spite of the J:}lanned jump to 1,000 watts, KAOS does not yet have a station manager for the coming year. Summer station manager Joe Murphy will
stay on in that capacity for another month while a new station manager is
found. Applications are being accepted .
The story was written by reporters David Blunt and Sam Solomon .

The

Golden
Voice
For those of you who listen to radio
news regularly you know how important
it is for the broadcaster to have a distinctive voice, one that catches your attention. It becomes the single reference point
for relating what one hears to who one
hears it from .
Anyone who has heard the "golden
voice" of Ed Michelson is impressed with
the authority and credibility his voice
lends to the news. His voice distinguishes
him from other local newscasters and
makes one think of a Cronkite or a
Chancellor. It sort of makes you wonder
what he's doing on KGY radio in Olympia.
Earlier this week we spoke to Ed Michelson, a fourth-year Evergreen student,
about his internship with KGY radio.
"How did you get your internship?" we
ask,ed.
"Well, I wanted one in radio, but
couldn't find anything I liked at the Cooperative Education office on campus,"
said Michelson. "I heard that Bob
McCloud of KGY had sponsored internships before, so I kept at him until I got
the job."
Michelson began as a newspaper journalist, but discovered he preferred the immediacy of radio to print media. He
switched his field and began working on
KEWC. the campus station at Eastern
Washington State College outside of Spokane. When he came to Evergreen a year
ago he began working on KAOS radio as
an anchorman for the nightly news show,
"The Times of KAOS ." "I also spent time
as a bit of a disc jock," he said.
"I spend most of my time at KGY writing, editing, gathering and announcing,"
said 'Michelson. 'Tm not on regularly except on Saturday, but sometimes I get to
read a story I wrote over the air," he
said. His internship started in January of
this year, and in June becam~ a paying
position.
When we asked about his feeling
October 3, 1974

·-

towards bringing the news to a sometimes
unresponsive public, Michelson said, "We
' have a responsibility for making things
known to people ; we know, and the officials know that we know, so if people
don't care, there is nothing we can do ."
Although it would seem logical that a ·
voice like Michelson's would be all that is
needed to be a good broadcaster, that is
not the case. "A good voice is no substitute for good news judgment or the personality for getting news stories. If all you
have is a voice you still have to find
someone who will write your stories," he
said. "A voice is only one part of being a
broadcaster, and certainly not the most
important."
For a lot of newscasters a small town
radio station is just a stepping stone to
bigger and better things, like landing a
more prestigious job in a big city. Michelson is a sort of rarity in that sense, because he doesn't think in those terms or says he doesn't. "Getting a big job
means working in a place like New York
or Washington D.C. or Los Angeles.
That's not_something I want to do. I'd be

36th & Overhulse
866-1252

very happy to work in Seattle, or even in
a growing community like Olympia .
That's something I find more rewarding. I
just don't like those other places, they're
.too big and ugly."
Still he couldn't help adding after a
pause, with a touch of modesty in his
voice, "I guess I wouldn't turn down a
job like that if it was offered to me."

· As we reported in our August 1 issue,
the Mason County Robinettes were practicing their baton twirling here in hopes of
capturing first place in the 1974 U.S.
Twirling Association Grand National
Baton Competition in San Francisco August 13th. Well, no need to -keep you in
suspense any longer - the Junior Corps
became grand champions in their division.
The Senior Parade Corps did nearly as
well, bringing home a second place trophy.
Not only that, but they were asked to
exhibit their amazing talents at half-time

American way
To the Editor:
How many of the majority of the
voters look beyond the Democrats and
Republicans when casting their votes? If
just half of the voters actually voted for
someone who was not a member of the
ruling parties it would cause a reaction of
some kind and possibly help to pave the
way to a better government. I realize that
it . is expensive to campaign, especially
without corporations financing the candidates, yet there must be a way for the
other parties to have more than one candidate running so they could participate
in the primary elections.
P~ge

When the Delegates of the United· States
wrote the Constitution and .the Bill of
Rights, wasn't it for the explicit reason of
forming democracy, a nation where
people were to be free from the class
system and prejudices of England and to
be free to select their own officials for offices·? As our so-called "democracy"
stands now, it is more aristocratic than
democratic. Only the politicians and the
political parties with corporation backing
them have any real chance of succeeding.
Now is that really what the "American
way" is about? Maybe people really do
want to get run over and made to feel like
dirt if they really believe we still have a
"democracy." I have always heard that
the Communist countries live in propaganda, yet I have always felt that living
in the U.S. I hear a large percentage of
propaganda coming 'from the straight
politicians' mouths all the time. There has

to be a way to r~form or at least improve
our "democratic system" as it stands now.
Members of the Progressive Labor
Party whom I talked to refer to themselves as being Communists. So why
don't the PLP and Communist Party unite
their forces during an election and enter a
primary, using both party candidates?
People might vote for them. The small
minor parties throughout the U.S. should
also find some way to compromise their
issues and join forces. It is the responsibility of the people to decide whether they
want a two-party voting system or want a
chance to choose from a variety.
During an election the voters sometimes
can seem as if they are unconcerned about
who gets elected. The general attitude appears to be "my vote won't really count,
so it makes little difference who I vote
for" which is a bad attitude to assume,
since this nation was founded to give
Cooper Point Journal

people their say. It also seems there are a
lot of hypocrites voting, who will vote for
a Democrat or Republican even though
they feel he isn't the best candidate for the
.. position, never seeming to notice there are
other candidates under the Republicans
and Democrats who are just as qualified.
If every voter voted for one candidate of
a small party it might shake up the government and the politicians enough to improve our country and the quality of the
candidates. Some people must think little
men with billy clubs are going to attack
· them as they leave the voting booth if
they don't vote for a Republican or
Democrat.
After the liberals and conservatives
succeed in completely ruining our democratic system there will be nothing left. So
far they have succeeded to give us our
"shortages" when in reality there would
be no shortages if we kept our resources
at home. Our country is gr:adually working its way into a depression. Before long
only the wealthy will be able to afford the
so-called luxuries of life. There will also
be an end to the middle class - you will
be classified as wealthy or poor, there will
be no alternative.
One way to improve our government
would be if the Republicans and Democrats could stop squabbling with each
other and try to work together to combine their ideas. Another way would be
to combine the best of our democracy
with Communism. It might.be a hundred
years before the two unite to be one.
Mary Humble

Governor
speaks
To the Editor:
It was with pleasure that I received the
news of Evergreen's accreditation by the
Northwest Association of Secondary and
Higher Schools. You, the trustees, faculty,
students and staff of Evergreen are to be
congratulated for this important accomplishment.
In view of the limited time Evergreen
has been in operation, the accreditation is
indeed remarkable. Perhaps more important; the accreditation announcement represents a formal acknowledgement by
Evergreen's peers that the educational program it has developed, although dramatically different from that familiar in higher
education, is recognizably effective.
The supportive comments and recommendations of the Evaluation Committee
should be a source of pride to all of you.
It is clear from these remarks that the reviewers were impressed by the competence of faculty, the enthusiasm of students, and the positive spirit of the Evergreen educational environment.
October 3, 1974

As I read the accreditation announcement and the Evaluation Committee's remarks, I found myself reflecting on the
early days, not really so long ago, when
The Evergreen State College was little
more than a few trailers placed in the
mud of a ·clearing in a woods on Cooper
Point._ During that particularly rainy
Olympia winter, members of Evergreen
were wearing buttons with the slogan
"Evergreen Lives." The slogan now should
be "Evergreen Is." My best wishes to all
of you.

To the Editor:

Burglar's tools
Tp the Editor:
The first edition of the Journal was
smashing! It's really gratifying to see
things start so well.
There is one old problem that has again
reared its head, however. The ad on page
17 from Academic Research Library of
L.A. is a repeat of the thing we said last
year we wouldn't do - viz., accept ads
from term-paper and dissertation sellers.
When it came up last time, I said I'd offer
a policy motion if it arose again. Here it
is:
Resolved That the Journal will not
· solicit or accept advertisements for
the sale of research services, including paper writing, bibliography research, or typing or duplicating of
material other than that provided
'
by the customer.
Rationale Although such services
are technically legal, their principal
use by customers is for illegal purposes: plagiarism and I or violation
of copyright law. Accepting such
advertising condones and encourages these illegal uses. My argument is analogous to the reasoning
that would bar ads hawking burglar's tools - even if the ads bore
the disclaimer "Sold for use .in your
own home only."
I hope we will have an early ~eeting to
discuss this proposal.

Campus News
In -Brief
·STUDENT FOUND· DEAD AT DORMS
This morning at approximately 2 a.m.
Vicki Faye Schneider, a first-year Evergreen student from San Antonio, Texas,
was found dead on the pavement at the
north side of Residence Hall A. Schneider
had apparently fallen from a height and
had a shallow knife wound in the abdomen.
Cause of the fall has not yet been determined, but early evidence tends to indicate suicide. However, the Thurston
County Sheriff's Department and Campus
Security have not ruled out the possibility
of murder. Schneider also had a broken
neck, presumably from the impact of her
fall, but the at:tual cause of death has not
yet been determined. It is also uncertain
where in the residence hall she fell from.
Larry Stenberg, dean of student services, requested that all questions and I or
rumors concerning the incident be
directed through the Security office (tel.
866-6140). At a morning meeting Stenberg

Rape Aid
Program
Rape Awareness Week will take
place on the Evergreen campus the
week of November 18. The week's
program which will include speakers and discussions is sponsored by
Evergreen's 'Security office and the
Rape Relief .Center from the Olympia YWCA.
The program is a response to the
growing concern about rape in the
Evergreen community. In the past
year, there have been two sexual
assaults on campus and at least four
students have been assaulted within
a five mile radius of campus.
The Security office has a number
of procedures Eo follow in the case
of rape. Of primary importance is
that the, victim report the incident
to Security immediately. This should
be done to enable the woman to obtain complete physical, mental, and
legal care.
Ann Brown, Campus Police As- .
sistant, has been trained to help
page 8

ing units later in the day to quell rumors
and to inform housing residents of the
facts. Stenberg also emphasized that the
Sheriff's office personnel and · other law
enforcement officials handling the case are
not withholding any information about
Schneider's death from the campus, and
requested that students cooperate with the
officials in answering questions and otherwise assisting their investigation.
Stenberg repeatedly emphasized this
morning that the most important thing
was to keep rumors and false information
under control. "The thing we've feared
most has happened," he said.
One student acquainted slightly with
Schneider described her as being quiet and
withdrawn, and her roommates commented that Schneider seemed something
of "a stranger" to them. She lived in Residence Hall B and was enrolled in the
"Self-Exploration through Autobiography"
coordinated studies program. Why she
was in Residence Hall A last night is not
yet known.
Yesterday was Schneider's 18th birthday. She talked with her mother at 9 p.m.
and was described as being normal and
not despondent.
EVERGREEN STUDENT RAPED

Vicki Faye Schneider
told a group of Evergreen staff and students that information-dispersing teams
would probably be dispatched to the residence halls, ASH, and the modular houswomen who have been raped .
• When she is not there, someone
from either Rape Relief or the
Women's Clinic will be called in to
help. All reports are strictly confidential, and the Security Office will

The student was hitchhiking on the college parkway at Kaiser Road when she achandle arrangements for medical
care as well as contacting the sheriff's department if requested.
The Security office wants students to understand that there is no
reason to be afraid of reporting a
rape. If the student does not wish to
come into the office, someone will
be sent to meet with them and take
care of necessary arrangements.
Only a preliminary report needs to
be given to them. If the student
wishes to file a formal complaint,
details are taken by the Thurston
County Sheriff's Department. A student does not have to call the sheriff's department, but security is
willing to act as intermediary.
The Security office wants to impress upon people not to take
chances with their safety, especially
when hitchhiking. They emphasize
that they are not trying to scare
anyone, but just informing them.
To quote from a pamphlet being
circulated by the office, "Evergreen
is offering education .on the problem
of rape, not because it is unusually
common here, but because it is too
common everywhere. One rape is
too many."

cepted a ride from 'the assailant, described
as being about 26-years-old. He drew a
gun and drove to Steamboat Island Road
where the attack occurred. Afterwards, he
returned the victim to campus. She went
~ immediately to the Women's Clinic to report the rape.
The Thurston County Sheriffs Department, investigating the rape, has declined
to give any further description of the
assailant or his vehicle. No suspects have
been arrested. However it was reported
that the victim supplied the Sheriffs department with a name and address she
memorized from an envelope lying on the
assailant's car seat.
Due to a coordinated effort between the
Women's Clinic and the campus Security
Office, the victim received immediate
treatment and help. "Things clicked well,"
said Mack Smith of the Security office.
He emphasized that since the incident was
reported immediately, steps could be
taken to help the victim in obtaining
necessary care.
INUITS TO BE STUDIED
Evergreen senior Barry Roderick was
awarded a "Youthgrant" of 3,832 dollars
to study mythic motifs of the Inuit tribe
in Alaska by the National Endowment for
. the Humanities (NEH).
The grant, which is part of a new program sponsored by NEH to provide
young people with funds for research, will
enable Roderick to spend seven months
with an Inuit family recording folk tales
and documenting oral traditions of that
tribe. Roderick has spent time in the past
with the Inuit tribe and was ritually given
an Inuit name.
KAOS HONDURAS RELIEF DRIVE
"God dammit, if you haven't worn it in
six months, you don't need it," said
KAOS radio Public Service Director Carl
L. Cook in reference 'to the collection of
clothing and food for the KAOS
Honduras Relief Drive. KAOS is sponsoring the drive to aid the recent hurrt,
cane victims in the small Central American country. Cook said, "It would be a
great opportunity for Evergreen people to
do something about a desperate situation
in the world instead of just talking about
it."
It has been estimated that 5,000 to
10,000 people have been killed as a result
of the recent hurricane there and as many
as 150,000 left homeless, in addition to
the economy of Honduras being totally
disrupted.
KAOS, CAB rm. 304, is the collection
point for the drive. Clothing and nonperishable food will be accepted from
noon to 6 p.m. daily. When sufficient
amounts of food and clothing are received
they will be delivered to local fire stations
to be prepared for delivery and distribution. Cook added that for every 50
pounds of food and clothing given, a longplaying record album o~ KAOS' choice
would be presented to the contributor.

INVENTORY SHOWS LOW
LOSS-RATE IN liBRARY
After three months of continuing inventory, the library has determined that
about two and a half percent of their collection has been lost or stolen, far below
the expected loss-rate.
"I anticipated the loss-rate would be
much higher," commented Head of Cataloguing / Processing Pat Matheny-White.
'The results are really encouraging."
The inventory, in part implemented to
determine if security precautions were
necessary in the libuary, showed that the
library materials with the greatest amount
of loss were books in high demand and
musical cassettes.

Matheny-White said that the University
of Washington Under-Graduate Library,
where a detection syst~m is used, has an
average loss-rate of five to six percent
yearly, considerably higher than t~e lossrate at Evergreen.
According to Head of Circulation Susan
Smith, a detection system is no longer
under consideration at Evergreen although
its installation would again be a possibility if the loss-rate became "st~rtlingly
high" in the future.
The inventory, which will continue
until the end of the year, has so far
checked slightly more than a quarter of
the library collection or approximately
20.000 titles.
COLLEGE GOVERNANCE
GETTING A BOOST
Ten members of the Evergreen community are currently being sought to fill
newly-created positions of ombuds-advocates . John Foster, student interim coordinator for the new advocacy office, said
applications are available at the Information Center and must be submitted to the
center by noon, October 8, for consideration.
Task of the unpaid om buds-advocates,
who will serve one-year terms, will be
·essentially to "educate and facilitate," according to Foster. "We want to help Evergreeners better understand college governance and decision making," he said. "We ·
also want to provide a 'guide' service for

persons who have a grievance and don't
know how to resolve it. But," he added,
"we're mainly concerned with helping persons avoid as many bureaucratic hassles
as possible when they have a problem or
a concern."
Foster said the advocacy program will
"probably be utilized more by students
than faculty or staff. But," he insisted,
"it will be open and accessible to everyone."

The ombuds-advocate office, which will
be located in Lib. rm. 3228, is being established at the recommendation of a disappearing task force (DTF) called last
summer by a number of students who felt
the need for a central authority to help
others deal with Evergreen governance.
"Everyone on the DTF was aware of
some bureaucratic hassles that hadn't been
solved because students lacked the tim,,
energy or knowledge of how to solve
them," Foster said. "We found that a
number of administrators handled grievances of different kinds at different times,
but the responsibility for handling such
problems was often given a low priority.
Consequently, many students felt they got
the runaround.
"We want to eliminate that, clear up
any misinformation, and offer a place
people can go for help," he said.
Foster hopes the service will be available to everyone by November 1. In the
meantime, applications will be taken until
October 8. A mandatory orientation session for all applicants will be held at
noon, October 10, Lib. rm. 3228. Those
who do not attend this orientation or a
similar briefing will be ineligible for consideration. The names of all eligible applicants will be fed into the computer and
a random selection will be made by October 14. Once the ten ombuds-advocates
are selected, they will elect a coordinator,
who will be charged with opening the
office by November 1.
The advocacy office, funded by Services and Actlvities (S&tA) Fees, will have
two part-time paid positions: the coordinator and a secretary. The coordinator
will be primarily responsible for chairins
meetings and assigning advocates to individual cases. Eligible to serve an indefinite
term of office, the coordinator will be
subject to quarterly votes of confidence.
Resignation will be mandatory if the
coordinator fails to receive a confidence
vote.

Activities Building.

KAOS: Tower of Power
BY DAVID BLUNT
Christmas this year should be bright for
the folks at the campus radio station,
KAOS-FM, if only a few legal and monetary hassles can be straightened out.
KAOS staff members are hoping that
December will be the month when their.
brand new, long awaited, 1,000-watt
transmitter will be installed.
·
The station currently puts out 10-watts
of transmitter power, which permits it to
be heard on campus and the West Side,
but not much farther. A thousand watts
of power would be heard throughout
·Olympia and reach as far as Tacoma;
with an estimated 45-50 mile radius.
This means that a lot of people out
there who know little or nothing about
Evergreen will suddenly be receiving a lot
in the way of communication from this
campus. KAOS will be the most powerful
and, to many, the only voice emanating
from Evergreen.
While the obvious consequence of a
power increase is a wider listening audience, a power increase also raises the legal
necessity of hiring a full-time engineer to
monitor the new transmitter.
Although KAOS staff members are
hoping the transmitter itself to be donated
by a Seattle TV station within two weeks,
the full-time engineer would cost the station $7,500 annually. Added to this, according to Carl Cook, public service director of KAOS, the cost of the transmitter installation is estimated at around
$800 to $1,500. The installation costs are
being raised through concert benefits, Tee
shir.t sales and donations. The $7,500 salary, however, is what troubles both th,e
station personnel and Evergreen administrators the most.
College Funds
Demian Porter, director of programming at KAOS, is confident that the station can raise the money without having
to ask the college for funds. Institution
funding from the college, might leave the
station open to greater control by the administration than is currently exercised.
"We're working on raising the money
from outside sources, such as donations
and grants," said Porter, "but if we fail, I
don't see any problem going to the college
for funds."
October 3, 1974

The station's current annual operating
budget of $4,000 is funded entirely by
student Services and Activities Fees
(S&A). Because students fund the station
through S&A, and not the college,
KAOS is afforded more autonomy than
that found at other schools.
"At Clover Park Vocational School (in
Lakewood, Wash.), there's a sign up in
the studio," said Cook. "It says, 'No rock
music allowed."'
Joe Murphy, KAOS station manager,
does not want to see a similar situation
occur at Evergreen. "The paranoia I've
felt because of the things I've seen around
Evergreen has convinced me that KAOS
is going to have to be independent of any
group in order to remain a viable communication tool." he said.
No Loss of Autonomy
KAOS staffers do not see any loss of
autonomy even if college funds were obtained to keep the 1,000-watt transmitter
operating. "I see the temptation, but I
don't really think the college would try to
stop us from doing what we want," Porter speculated.
"We give our D.J.'s certain parameters,
such as required percentages of non-musi-

cal time and the legal boundaries of good
taste," said Cook, "but from that point on
we tell them, 'It's your time, fill it."'
Academic Vice-President Ed Kormondy
wouldn't commit himself as to how much
influence the college might exercise over
the station were it to receive college funds
or, in fact, if the station could receive the
funds in the first place. "The final decision, of course, will be up to the Board of
Trustees of the college," Kormondy said.
"If KAOS needs a certain amount of
money, then the board will have to decide
whether that money goes to KAOS or
whether it could better be used elsewhere,
and if it went to KAOS whether there
would be any strings attached," he said.
There is some question whether the station could ever become completely autonomous, even if all its funding were independent of administrative monies. Not
only is the equipment, which is on loan to
KAOS from the college, subject to recall,
· but according to administrative guidelines
equipment purchased by the station with
student funds is also the property of the
college and can be appropriated if academic need can be demonstrated.

Expo 74's Ecology
Observations on a World's Fair
BY ELIZABETH CHARLTON

To date 4,320,017 people have passed
through the gates of the 83-million-dollar
Expo '74 in Spokane, Washington, to gaze
in rapture at the falls, munch on Belgian
waffles, or buy Invisible Dog leashes. The
fair has thus far been quite a financial
success, despite the fact that few expected
it to amount to anything more than a
dream. The odd thing about the fair,
though, is the glaring contradiction between its theme of environmentalism and
ihe economic and physical realities of a
World's Fair.
There have been endless rumors concerning the decision tQ have a World's
Fair in Spokane. The most widespread
fallacy is that the citizens of Spokane
voted against the idea of a city park/
world's fair. The truth is that a majority
voted in favor of Expo and the Riverfront
Park (57%), but a 60 percent vote was
necessary for the bond issue to pass. So
the businessmen of Spokane, realizing the
lucrative profits to be gained from a
World's Fair, placed a Business and Occupation (B&O) tax on themselves to
finance partially the renovation and construction of the fair site.
Now, with but 30-odd days left before
the fair closes, it is possible to look back
and assess tentatively the often criticized,
scorned or ignored dream-turned-reality
of a world's fair in the small town of Spokane (pop. 170,000).
White-knuckled Trip
Due to Spokane's size, the size of the
fair is limited, but it contains a variety of
exhibits ranging from the U.S. and
U.S.S.R. to General Motors and the
"Folklife Festival." The U.S. pavilion is
outstanding. Very few visitors have
walked away from the 23-minute lmax
movie with less than a feeling of near
spiritual exhilaration. The movie, presented on the largest screen ever used (65
feet high, 95 feet wide), contains, among
other things, a thrilling aerial rode over
the Grand Canyon· (those prone to motion
sickness are asked to sit near the exit
doors) and a white-knuckled trip on a

high-speed freeway. The most. significant
aspect of the film is the emotive and
hauntingly beautiful narration by Chief
ban George which brings across _the
theme of environmental protection with
compelling urgency. Even the most frantic
nicotine-hungry smokers hesitate to light
up after leaving the theater.
The second wonder of the Exposition is
the pavilion of the U.S.S.R. Upon entering the massive building one's senses are
immediately assaulted by the light, color,
design and creativity employed in the innumerable displays. The bust of Lenin
greets and welcomes you to a different
view of Russia, and while it is rose-tinted
(as are all the pavilions) one is impressed
by the Soviets' advanced environmental
techniques. Many visitors leave the pavilion wishing they had taken notes.
Among the other exhibits the most
worthwhile include the Australian Pavilion and the Folklife Festival (log-rolling,
weaving, candle-making, etc.). The Endangered Species display reveals a most
poignant and frightening glimpse into
human nature and the direction of the future.

Overheated Bodies
Not all the exhibits are as absorbing.
General opinion rates the West German
pavilion as one of the worst, with many
of the smaller pavilions following close
behind. The countless souvenir booths are
nauseatingly commerciaL as is only natural.
Despite a relatively warm summer, the
heat seldom discouraged visitors from the
pavilions (sans air conditioning). which
. ultimately resulted in a stifling atmosphere of over-tired, overheated bodies
pressed grimly together in stoic determination, and brought to mind a subway
sardine can trip to purgatory. But still the
crowds <;arne, from as far away as Nigeria, Vietnam, and Australia.
Some of the exhibits will become permanent fixtures in the Riverfront Park
planned after the fair closes November 3.
The Opera House, an awesome glass and
concrete structure containing 2,700 seats,
will remain in Spokane as a cultural center, and the scenic Canada Island park

Will Expo have negative ecological effects on Spokane?

will remain untouched.
Expo '74 also sports a run-of-the-mill
amusement park, which at 70 cents and
up a ride is hardly worth one's while. The
Food Fair and 'assorted restaurants contain
food from different countries but again
the prices are prohibitive.
Irreconcilable Ideas
The theme of Expo '74 is "Celebrating
Our Fresh, New Environment." Harold
Jones; Expo's P.R. man, admits that a
large part of the reason for having the fair
was to improve business and clean up the
slums in the city.
And yet, while Spokane seems to have
reaped the benefits of the fair financially
and aesthetically, the environmental aspects have suffered. Traffic, logically, be.came incredible, which in turn has led to
increased air pollution (which Jones explains in terms of inversion, the climate
condition which merely aggravates the
problem) and generally overcrowded
streets. This is not the .road to pollution
control - whether in Spokane, Washington, London, England, or Juneau, Alaska.
"~•-'--• ,

~O"'ol.

The New York Times has called Expo a
"combination of seemingly irreconcilable
ideas: preservation of natural environment with traditional World's Fair celebration of technology and progress."
Some environmentalists have condemned
the fair as an ecological rip-off.
This is often replied to with the argument that a lovely river park will be the
result of the fair. While parks are fine, the
profit of the fair could better be used to
save existing natural "parks," like forests,
mountains, beaches, etc., rather than to
create and maintain an artificial slice of
nature in the form of a manicured,
trimmed and beflowered park complete
with rerouted mini-waterfalls.
· Break Even
Pete Spurney, associate director of the
fair, has estimated that Expo will break
even financially. This is considered excellent for a world's fair, as the only one
to have even a slight profit was Seattle's
Century 21 in 1962. But finances aside,
what will be the environmental legacy of
Expo '74, since that is what the fair is
supposed to be about7

Every fairgoer, according to Jones, puts
out an average of 1.4 pounds of refuse.
With 4.4 million visitors having pas~
through so far, there is refuse amountil18
to 616 million pounds already to be disposed of. The paper will for the most part
be recycled and the solid waste disposed
of by traditional methods (dumping).
The fireworks which ended the evening
at 10 from July 4 through Labor Day
have now been cut to Friday and Saturday nights only, with some exceptions.
Jones says that this was not because of
complaints about the cloud of sulfurous
smoke which hung over the amusement
area for about ten minutes after each display, but because of l~ssened attendance
during the week. When asked why fireworks Wl,!re used at all, Jones quoted
Spurney as saying that part of attracting
people to a serious-minded fair is entertaining them. But this kind of logic that the only way to get people interested
and concerned about air pollution is to
shoot off fireworks - epitomizes the
basic contradition of Expo '74. What was
the fair really for: the environment or the
financial gain of the promoters?

An Evergreen .Comparison
BY DAVID BLUNT
Before I visited Evergreen for the first time, I had heard about a
school in Olympia which used group and independent study instead of classes. I didn't take too much notice because I thought
such a school wouldn't have much financial support. I imagined it
being in some donated government buildings or old school buildings in downtown Olympia.
I also knew that it had only 2,000 students, and the little contact I had had previously with small colleges made me think such
a school couldn't offer the kind of facilities and activities I was interested in.
But one day last spring I was driving to the coast and noticed
signs pointing to "THE EVERGREEN STATE COLLEGE." On an
impulse, I decided to drive over and find out what the college and
the students were like.
When the road turned away from Olympia and turned into the
woods I had to dispel all impressions I had about the physical
makeup of the campus. The. location seemed perfect. To me, you
can't live and work in any better place than the woods. Then I
saw the sign at the entrance which wasn't a typical "plastic" institutional sign but was painted to represent the forest around it,
and I thought then, "This might be the place I'm looking for."
Once on campus, I fortunately found a student who had time to
tell me about the educational process at Evergreen. Then I
checked out the facilities and found more that interested me than I
had found when I attended the University of TenneJsee, which has
a student population of more than 27,000.

CoDlm.entar y
For activities, an Indian "pow wow" was going on that afternoon, and a benefit concert to provide help for victims of the
African drought was being held that night. I checked an activities
calendar and found a number of interesting events scheduled, and
then I asked about the sports dubs and found they offered a lot to
keep a student busy.
I ~pent the rest of the day on campus, and went to the benefit
concert that night. Marimba music was playing, and the students
wen:·n't reserved but got into the music, danced, did their thing.
By then I knew Evergreen was the place for me.
A, I fo und out more about Evergreen, I was continually impres:ed. The admissions people weren't concerned with the applicant< previous academic record or skill at taking "intelligence
tests" The form simply tested the applicant's understanding of the
learning method at Evergreen and their motives for wanting to attend This showed me that Evergreen would have a varied, wellrounded student body, not just simply students who had been
able to conform well in traditional education systems.
I moved here at the end of July. I needed the use of a library,·
but didn't think I would be able to use Evergreen's library since I
W3·s·a't yet a student. Then I found that the library was not just a
student library but a library for the entire community, and books
were checked out for a quarter at a time. I had a lot of trouble at
Tennessee getting books back to the library every week to renew
them.
Taking the "Doctor" off of faculty names is really great. I remember walking into one professor's office at Tennessee and
asking the secretary, "Is Mr. Walker in7" The secretary snapped
back. " You mean Dr. Walker. No, he isn't in."
Dae>P 14

In my two years at the University, I didn't even see a professor
with a doctorate except on television or in large lecture halls of
200 or more students. Gra duate students teach most freshman and
sophomore classes. Seeing a professor in p~rson whom you've
only seen before on television makes you feel like you're seeing a
celebrity. For the "live" television classes, there was a phone in
the room with a direct line to the studio . If a student asks a question the graduate assistant can't answer, the graduate assistant
calls in and the professor answers the question on the air. Those
were the more personal classes. Most were taped, making this impossible. The only good thing about television classes was the use
of monitors in the dorms. You don't even have to get dressed to
go to chemistry . Just throw . on a robe an<i go down to the TV
room. Promotes a relaxed classroom atmosphere .
Students seem to be pretty involved here at Evergreen. Around
40 students attended a recent discussion entitled "Life At and
After Evergreen. " At Tennessee perhaps ten students would show
up for such a discussion. A group of students started a "free university" at Tennessee offering courses in such thines as voR:a.
batik, basket weaving, and oriental philosophy, but most of the
classes were cancelled because no one showed up.
The Student Activity Board at Tennessee spent more than
$1,500 to bring a media group down from New York City to give
workshops on the use of video tape, especially portable video
units, to express oneself and bring about social action in one's
community. The group had about eight members and on the first
day of the workshop four students showed up. I was one of those
students and thought it was great because I got lots of personal
instruction and had my own portable video tape r.ecord~~ and
Cooper Point Journal

camera for a couple of days. Of course, I've found that's possible
here at Evergreen without bringing a group out from New York
- City.
'
.
Faculty tenure was another problem at Tennessee. In the com:munications college there was one faculty member who just couldn't teach but thought he was good because a lot of his students
flunked. The dean wanted to fire him, but couldn't because of his
tenure.
Tests were graded in a lot of different ways, the "curve" :;ystem
being the most popular. In the curve system it is determined
beforehand what percentage of students will get an A, what
percentage a B, and so on. The percentage is determined from
previous grade records of that class. If, for instance, it is determined that ten percent will get an F, then if all students score high
on a certain test a person could score 80 out of 100 and get an F.
This is intended to guard against a test being too easy or too difficult, but it doesn't take into account the possibility that all the
students in a class might be doing good work. It helps, in fact, to
have a few really bad students in the class to bring down the
curve so others can get good grades.
Grades were flexible in most cases, which meant that personality, confidence in class, visiting the professor to talk whenever
possible, reading a difficult book which wasn't assigned and

quoting it in class, etc. were just as important in getting a good
grade as learning the material well. I know one professor who
raised the grade one letter of almost every student who went to
talk to him. One professor automatically raised one letter the
grade of any student who showed up for all the classes, whether
the student slept through them or not.
During the first two years at Tennessee, students must'take very
general courses, and usually don't get into things they are interested in until their junior year. To graduate, students must take
courses not related to their interests or major to meet degree requirements.
As a state supported school, Tennessee was required to admit
almost every resident who applied. That meant freshman enrollment was usually too high. At least one of the courses required
for most freshmen would be especially difficult. Students labeled
these "flunk out" courses, and believed the university used them
to reduce the number of freshmen.
When I was there the president of the University of Tennessee
was virtually unapproachable. The student senate was ignored as
not representing the student body because only 4,000 of the
23,000 undergraduate students voted in student senate elections.

Passion and Politics
BY. SY.AN SHORE
Last week in Seoul, South Korea, a
dozen demonstrators gathered outside of
the Japanese Embassy. They came to
protest the accidental killing of Presidesnt
Park Chung Hee's wife, who had been
felled two weeks earlier by an assassin
aiming at her husband. President Park
esacaped unharmed.
In the week after the shooting,
newspapers reported that the assasin, a
Korean, had lived in Japc1n for some time
before the incident. The Koreans, who are
violently anti-Japanese, took this as proof
of the Japanese govern~ent's involvement
in the assassination attempt.
. There is no sense in discussing the
politics of the demonstrators, for they
were somewhere in the political spectrum
slightly to the ,right of Mussolini. What is
of interest is the form their demonstration
took: Shouting curses at the Japanese,
each of the demonstr~tors knelt down and
cut off one of their fingers with a meat
cleaver. The bundle of fingers was then
wrapped in a hankerchief to be presented
to the Japanese ambassador. That a
political event could cause such a violent,
self-destructive outburst came as a deep
shock to me.
During the same week, President Ford,
of the United States, announced the
complete, unconditional pardon of Richard Nixon, a former president. One
overriding concern of Presidesnt Ford, it
October 3, 1974

was implied, was that Nixon was in poor
health.
To Americans, stepping aside and
denying responsibility comes easy. But
such a denial- is, in essence, a denial of
citizenship--and with it should come
abstention from pretending a democracy
exists, from voting, from writing editorials or voicing opinions on how the
country is to be run. To move back from
the feeling of responsibility for the actions
of one's countrymen is to voluntarily
make oneself an exile, even if staying
within the geographical boundaries of this
country.
It would be simply glib to say that
these announcements by Ford were a rude
awakening after his "honeymoon" with
the American people.
Maybe Nixon and his role in Watergate
was a rude awakening. But if one did not
wake up by then, they are determined to
sleep, or condemn their reason to a state
of catatonia. Such, it seems, is the case of
most who write about the CIA.
The hard fact that Americans should
consider is that they live under a tyranny,
or oligarchy at best. It is a system entirely
unresponsive to the people.
To fail to see this after Ford's recent
announcements is to be blind. To fail to
weigh what Ford's announcements mean
is worse than chopping off fingers--it is to
cut off one's head and to rip one's brain
bodily out of it.
Ford later admitted to and justified

Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) involvement in the overthrow of the late
Salvador Allende, a former president of
Chile.
· Both of these admissions by President
Ford have been met with outbursts like
"Oh my-how could he do such a thing!"
and "Well, now is the time to put the CIA
under Congressional control...". Articles
with titles like "CIA Diplomacy" and
"Secret Police within a Democracy" have
appeared in newspaper editorial columns.
It is not my intent to repeat such
exclamations.
I feel far different from any of the
detached condescensions of the editorial
columns, I can no longer say, ."This is
what we have to change to make our
government work", or, "Ford should do
this to make it work."
My mood, in fact, is much closer to
that of those Korean demonstrators.
There is an overwhelming need to
somehow express the anguish that is felt.
If the anguish is not expressed intensely,
and in personal terms, it sits inside
gnawing away at one's spirit; disordering
one's thoughts.
To simply say, 'They shouldn't have
done that", is to wash away any feeling
of personal responsibility for the ac;tions.
To the Koreans, who were far right
superpatriots this act was impossible--so
they took vengence upon themselves for
what had happened in their country.

bring about a policy change, and then
only because the administration would be
afraid of the mass publicity.
Tennessee spends less per pupil on public education than almost every other
state, so the university depends on contributions from alumni for a large part of
its support. Any bad publicity about the
university tended to reduce the amount of
money coming in.
In the spring of 1972, students organized to work for open visitation by members of the opposite sex in the dorms. The
administration totally ignored all student
demands. Meetings were held, and the administration finally agreed to meet with
students. This was an issue which interested all studenti, liberal and conservative,
and a lot of students attended the meetings.
But the president of the university
talked around student questions, simply
stating that the decision was not up to
him, but up to the Board of Trustees.
However, it appeared that he was not
taking up the students' requests with the
Board of Trustees.
Members of the student senate reported
that he was afraid of the bad publicity,
that there was talk among members of the
administration about dorms becoming
"whorehouses" should open visitation be
allowed.
One woman complained to the president that her daughter had become pregnant in the dorms during one of the
weekly four-hour open visitation periods.
She blamed the open visitation rather
than her failure to teach her daughter
about contraceptives.
The president didn't believe that the
students would demonstrate because of
student apathy, and previous failure of
organizations to get students involved in
political iss1-1es.
I spoke with the chancellor and told
him that the publicity from a demonstration would be much worse than the publicity of opening the dorms and he replied, "I know this, but I can't get it
across to him," nodding towards the president who was on the speaker's platform.
So the students finally demonstrated
when they saw nothir 6 else would get
them anywhere. They stormed the men's
and women's dorms, blocked the streets,
got the necessary publicity, and the next
day the administration announced that
certain dorms would become "open
dorms."
Dorms were classified A, B, C, and D,
running from totally restricted (including
a curfew for residents) to open, with the
option left open to the student and his or
her parents. In other words, the administration continued to give parents the opportunity for the "security" of knowing
their son or daughter was safely tucked
away after a certain hour.
At present, these kinds of things seem
remote from Evergreen. But the potential

for Evergreen to become a bureaucratic,
impersonal, state institution exists. Hopefully, awareness of the destructive mutations within Evergreen at their onset will
prevent their growth and enable their

KAOS
Continued from page 11
No Reorganization
One possible concern of ·the board in
determining whether there would be any
"strings attached" to the station is the
quality of programming on KAOS and
whether the station was doing anything
which might, although legal, embarrass
the college in the eyes of the board and I
or the community.
According to Program Director Porter
there are no major program reorganizations in the works on account of the new
transmitter. The station will constantly
work on increasing the scope and quality
of programming regardless of transmitter
power, he said. "We're continually closing
in and tightening up programming. By
November we'll be running full programming which will be consistent with the
programming we'll be doing with the new
transmitter," Porter added, "but it's still a
180-degree turn when compared with last
year."
"Certainly the a~quisition of a transmitter which increases our listening audience so drastically will automatically generate more responsibility among staff
members at the station," said Cook.
"There will inevitably be some weeding
out of programs that just don't cut it, but
there will be no major changes."
While the attitude of the college may be
described as cautious, and the attitude of
the station may be described as optimistic,
the fact remains that KAOS may soon be
broadcasting with 1,000 watts of power,
and all the financial, legal, and creative
questions that this raises must be answered - by both the station and the administration
within the next few
months.

AN ARAB TRAP
Kill Kissinger
By Gerard de Villiers,
Pinnacle, New York 1974.

Supermarket novels are quick to pick
up on current trends and tragedies. The
elements in today's crime, Watergate, international terrorism, drug abuse, and hijacking for example, are increasingly pop-

ular topics in thrillers. Isolated events or
spectacular single crimes, like that of hijacker D.B. Cooper, will find their way
into a book within a week or as soon as a
company hack can punch out a story with
an imagined name slapped onto the main
character.
This last element, that of adopting a
real crime or series of events and giving .
pseudonyms to the main characters, is the
main thing that separates fact from fiction. The story may be accurate in nearly
every detail, but the presence of
pseudonyms will lend it just the right
October 3, 1974 .

amount of fantasy to justify the label
'novel' and keep the publishers safe from
a libel suit. It is the one thing that keeps
the modern pulp novelist from being
labeled a journalist by the public.
With the entrance of real names and,
further, real characters, novels begin to
walk a .thin line, or at least the reader's
mind does. It is difficult to pick up a
book with the title Kill Kissinger and not
think that it is either a factual account of

a plot to assassinate the Secretary of
State, or a suggestion by some political
extremists. In this case, the book happens
to be neither. It is a novel, yet one that
brashly refuses to follow the tradition of
the pseudonym a·nd goes so far as to
claim in the front that all the names iDside
are fictional and that any resemblance to
those living or dead is coincidental. The
disclaimer is, of course, a load of trap,
but legally necessary.
Kill Kissinger is the sixth in a series of
spy novels by French writer Gerard de
Villiers. The series is written around

master CIA agent Maiko, who has most
of the typical characteristics of the international spy: he is rich, handsome, successful, and sexually active. However
there are a few wrinkles to his personality
which, if developed, could make him interesting. He is a Slavic prince, happily
coupled with a woman; he is not prone
to murder and is content to leave that to
th~ CIA employees who are hired for
that; he is often sick at the violence he
confronts. But these characteristics, while
not causing him to fit neatly into the traditioilal masteMpy mold, do nothing to
enhance the illusion of his individuality.
In shoJ:t he is quite dull, a charge that
would be hard to stick on a James Bond
or Tiger Mann. Insensitive murderers are
more entertaining.
The plot of Kill Kissinger sets Maiko in
Kuwait in the midst of the Mid-east crisis.
His job is to prevent the assassination of
Henry Kissinger who is about to arrive in
the oil country as a goodwill gesture. The
trip cannot be cancelled and security must
be established. They cannot, as one character suggests, send Nixon instead. The
Palestinians, who are hatching the murder
plot, must be eliminated.
With that as the background and the
problem, the story bumbles along. The
CIA proves itself barely competent, the
Palestinians even less so, and the Kuwaiti
secret poUce perhaps the most incompetent of all. The book is filled with enough
interracial sex, mad Arabs, and bumbling
Americans to make almost anyone happy.
The most satisfying thing about this
book in the end is precisely the realism de
Villiers has attached' by simply inserting
real names and a real background. While
the violence is extreme it is not unrealistic
in light .of smne recent terrorist· attacks.
And one deits feel tensiQn build as Henry
Kissinger's jet begins its landing pattern
and prepares to land into the mouth of
the Arab trap. De Villiers does have some
understanding of the Mid-east situation,
bringing out the tensions between various
nationalities and the threats that tradition
and economic position play, but he does
not choose this book as his medium for
treating these problems in depth.
Kill Kissinger is a fair book of its kind.
It teases us with the use of real characters,
It attempts to enlighten through superficial dialogue, it makes everyone look
bad, and if you have an hour to kill, Kill
Kissinger will kill it if you've read all
your Mickey Spillane.

tuitions. He concedes that there is a need
for government-funded programs, but has
some questions about how the faculty
should handle the growing number of students funded by LEEP.
"We don't have to put our finger in every hole in the academic dike - if there
isn't adequate educational opportunity for
law enforcement students it ·doesn't mean
that we have to fill the void." Freund beschool policy on how to
lieves that
handle LEEP-funded students "should be
spelled out, rather than just allowed to
evolve from within, without clearly confronting the issues." Among the issues
Freund is concerned about is the fact that
the money comes from "national police

begun under Attorr;tey General John
Mitchell and Richard Kleindeinst and that
now.-Attorney General Saxbe has mentioned evolving a national police force to
deal with high crime rates.
l<od Marrom, head of Security at Evergreen, has five LEEP-funded students
under his sponsorship working with area

the LEEP program, in that it allows students of law enforcement to have supervised experience in the field.

Eating in Olympia/ Andrew Daly

HITTING THE TRAIL
Those of you who are already tired of
your own cooking, for whatever reason,
should try the Oregon Trail, off Capitol
Way in Tumwater.
Our visit was rather accidental: after a
long day, three of us decided to eat out.
Being long-time Olympians (between us
we have eleven years' experience) we went
through a list of t,ried and true, and not
so true, establishments. I didn't want to
see another hamburger or pizza again. A
friend didn't want to spend much money.
Another didn't care, as long as we ate
something - anything, so long as it was
within the next fifteen minutes. After a
short argument, the hungriest decided we
would go to the Oregon Trail - "I've
never been there, but I hear they have
good steaks ... and they're cheap." the
price being about right, we marched eff.
Shortly after we arrived we had our
. first surprise: no steaks. We asked the
waitress, who looked like she'd been
working all day, if we had the right
menu . We did. Why no steaks, we asked7
She informed us that the Oregon Trail
was under new management, and in addition the oven had been broken for the
better part of the day.
No matter -we ordered anyway. One
Cornish Hen, and two "Prime Ribs." The
waitress, a person of some wit and a lot
of patience, told the Prime Ribs that they
had their choice of soup, salad, and dessert along with their entree. We began to
wonder if the ~rime rib wasn't such a bad
deal after all, especially when she and the
two lucky individuals began to haggle
over the price. After about ten minutes
(the oven being out of order, time wasn't
important) she was talked down about
$1.50 a person. Not bad, and certainly a
pleasant way to occupy the time between
the cocktails - which were fair - and
the first course.
The first course consisted of either
sauteed chicken livers or artichoke hearts.
Two of us hesitantly chose the chicken
, livers, which were competently prepared
though not outstanding. Another of us
chose the the artichoke hearts and he was
not disappointed either. The second
course consisted of a "clam bisque" something resembling a chowder, and it
was quite good. As a matter of fact, the
cook employed a technique kn.own only
to true chowder lovers: bread crumbs
should always be used in thickening a
creamed soup or chowder.
The meal's only disappointment was the
salad: all parties ordered Roquefort dressing, which was unfortunate. The dressing
was very thin and the salad consisted
October 3, 1974

only of lettuce (chopped, not torn, as one
of my companions remarked). Not so
good.
The best ·was yet to come, in the form
of the Cornish Hen . ·It was not excellent,
and certainly not extravagant, but good.
It was properly stuffed, which is rare
the~ days. The prime rib was also rare.
One .was so rare, in fact, that it was
something of a failure, but the other was
more appetizing. Our friend looked satisfied.
The dessert course, for those lucky
enough to receive it, consisted of a piece
of angel food cake topped with strawberries and whipped cream. There were
no complaints. Our friends seemed
happy, and we were stuffed.
As we were finishing we were introduced to the lady of the house, who gave

I

us the best news of the night. Jack Percival, who has been playing with the Harry
James band (ask your grandparents) for
17' years, leads a small jazz ensemble
nightly. Reviews have been good.
The management, for their part, "are
delighted to see people from Evergreen."
For those new to the college, people like
this are a decided minority in the community, and you are advised to make
friends wherever you can find them. We
were also told that "we never hustle you
for drinks, that's just not the way we do
things, " which is also welcome news.
In short, the .food is hardly haute-cuisine, but the Oregon Trail does not pretend to offer that. A limited menu, good
food, service harried but patient, and the
management friendly: all told a welcome
part of Olympia's culinary repertoire.

THE SUMMER SEASON
The summer months are the vacation
time in Europe. Everybody is on the seashores, in the mountains or on the road
to enjoy another castle, another museum
or another concert in another acoustically
better or worse concert hall - which
topic alone is eagerly debated Europewide. In the newspapers, where it is imperative to fill space for lack of relevant
topics, it is usually necessary to write
about the Loch Ness monster or the alleged reappearance of sharks off the Riviera. But this summer of 1974 was different. Burning problems in politics, economics, and intra-European and international
relations kept chancelleries busy and the
premiers of the European states on the
move.
"Ein neuer Anlauf zur Belebung der Europaeischen Gemeinschaft" (A new attempt
to revive the European Community)
Under this headline, not dissimilar to
those in other European newspapers, Die
Welt, a leading and influential West German daily, summarizes the midsummer
European summit in the following words:

the chiefs of government of the member
states of the European Community
(EC) . ... The vehicle of this renewed
endeavor shall be the four yearly meetings
of the Minister-presidents, who shall discuss European problems in a more intimate setting - without the complex apparatus of experts of all sorts - consequently to prepare more detailed consultations, more or less technical in nature,
once a political decision is consented to."
The strong foundation of future accords
lies in the axiom: "We have agreed that
we shall agree, therefore we will."

not spoken directly to the media, but in j
the old and venerable British manner his
entourage "leaked" out that he accepted
the idea of four yearly consultations, thathe believes in the success of European
community efforts and that Her Majesty's
government will not pursue the politics of
the "vacant chair" in Brussels. Monsieur
Francois-Xavier Ortoli, the Chairman of
the European Commission, spoke at
length as to how to consolidate the economic and political situation of Europe
and how to approach the problems of unification, inflation, energy and NATO.

The President of the Republique Francaise, Monsieur Giscard d'Estaing, was
the host of this conceptual summer
summit, and his proposal to institutionalize four yearly meetings of the premiers
of the EC was accepted with acclaim. The
unobtrusive but efficient West German
Chancellor Helmut Schmidt evaluated the
current circumstances in these words:
"The times of festive summit shows are
over." Premier Tindemans (Belgium)
lauded the initiative of the French president. Dutch Premier Joop van Uyl characterized this conceptual summit as "frank

ial-producing countries, and who refused
to do anything to remedy those inequities
and their disastrous effects, to now reproach the _,(aw-material-producing countries for their attempt to exploit the situation which is at last more favorable to
them. If we wish to orient ourselves constructively towards a solution of the complex oil problem, it is absolutely imperative for the developed countries to assess
realistically the situation and approach it
in a spirit of cooperation, not of confrontation."
This assertion comes from the European
Community, importing 72 percent of its
oil needs from Arab countries. Statements
made last week by President of the United
States Gerald Ford and Secretary of State
Henry Kissinger on the same subject were
not so conciliatory, in ·spite of the fact
that the U.S. imports only eight percent
of its oil from the Arabs.
The European media are reporting more
and more on all the aspects of the
economy, energy, and related subjects.
The policies of President Ford, actions of
Secretary Kissinger, Chile and the CIA,
Governor Rockefeller's money, and other
matters apparently so dear to the American media are usually broached only in
passing by the European media.

Notations
Oct. 1-19
Evergreen Library Gallery

Notations is an excellent exhibit, comprised of various notes, poems and compositions of modern composers, collected
by John Cage for his book of the same
title. The exhibit includes such notable
composers as Eric Satie, Igor Stravinsky,
Dieter Rot, Robert Moran, Charles Ives,
Gyorgi Ligeti, Milton Babbit, The Beatles,
and Cage himself.
There is a good deal of humor in some
of the scores and scribbles, but there also
remains a certain element of erudite,
counter-culture abstractriess which provides for an enjoyable balance.
After viewing the pieces, one gets a
better understanding of the internal machinery of the artist - which reflects
society as it is, amusing or sickening. One
may· feel the majority of the composers
represented here are destroying the timehonored musical forms of rhythm,
melody and harmony. Indeed, conceptual
art does away with convention. However,
as I walked around noticing each score,
poem or doodle, I realized that the work
shown is simply a bright observation of
modern life seen through the eyes of our
contemporary composers, today's musical
historians.

nights. Winslow sings and plays acoustical guitar, performing mostly original
material. Sunday night the film is The

Cinema
Friday Nite Film: Walkabout - This
1971 film, directed by Nicholas Roeg, introduced the Australian outback to the
world. The story follows two children, a
girl of about sixteen and her young
brother, who are lost in the bizarre desert
world of the outback and are befriended
by a young aborigine boy who is on his
walkabout, a solo survival test of sorts in
the wild. The movie is extraordinarily
beautiful, both in its photography and its
chronicling of the wordless relationship
between the two proper children of the
city and the resourceful aborigine.
October 3, 1974

State : Mame - Lucille Ball in the titl.e
