hat we have to ask - what we have to scream
out loud and clear - What are we doing here?
What is going on? A momentum was born with
the first thought about this college, a movement
progressively growing in strength as it sped
faster and across new territory - forward, ever
forward. To keep the progressive movement going it is vital that
birth be the deity , that newness of thought and action be encouraged and cultivated with loving ca re. The ceiling should never be
lowered ; it should be raised whenever necessary to allow for the
natural process of growth to have room to become ripe. When
something comes along being outlandishly unheard of, that's. all
the more reason to give a careful hearing with open ears. Evergreen is a greenhouse. Encouragement of growth is what it's all
about .
But something's gone wrong somewhere - roadblocks are being
set up on all the roads leading to Evergreen's fruition. The possibilities are being confined to "community responsibilities" as defined by a handful of rhetorical gourmets whose speech, thoughts
and actions are dictated by the particular set of dogmatic defini,
tions they have chained them selves to.
"Capacities are to be used, and cease their clamor only when
they are well- used. That is, capacities are also needs. The unused
skill or capacity can become a disease center or else atrophy or
disappear, thus diminishing the person." - Abraham Maslow .
There are two forces in opposition here. One says "move," the
other says "stay put ;" one says "grow, " the other says "you're big
enough ;" one craves for discovery and fee ls at home with the Evergreen philosophy - the idea that things grow best when somebody isn't standing on their head - the o ther's misoneism is in
complete opposition to the Evergreen spirit and really has no
place here, although adherents to this view will always argue that
their roadblo ck restri ctions are in the co mmunity's "best interest. "
The idea was presented that the Cooper Point Journal should be
an innovative , high quality part of Evergreen. This was met with
immediate resistance. "A change 1" They gasped at the thought
that there might be more to the wo rld than the room they've lived
in all their lives. A drive to block the change began. Charges of
capital crimes such as "idealism" were leveled. The proponents of,

the change were told that all the students who very enthusiastically
supported the new idea were simply the "wrong people" and that
. the "right people" would never consi~er trying somethi~g so offbeat and daring as an innovative, high quality college magazine,
And it is certain that the "right people" wouldn't inaugurate or
support the formation of a state college without grades or departments that prides itself on its innovative approach and encourages
individual growth. They would have labeled such a school "idealistic" and thrown the plans in the trash . Yet these are the people
who prop themselves up into a position to speak "for Evergreen."
If someone really speaks for Evergreen .they'll be doing their
best to make sure in remains Forever Green.
- Aubrey Dawn
hy can't a school strive to be different? Why
can't a school's newspaper strive to be unique?
The Cooper Point Journal is finally getting it together and is ready to join the Evergreen communfty - become a part of this experience along with all the rest of you folks who've. been
here for anywhere from one to four years.
While we've been churning out issue after issue this quarter,
we've also been thinking hard on where the newspaper should be
going, how it fits in at Evergreen, is it serving its purpose. The answers we've been reaching do not speak well for the Cooper Point
Journal; we believe that a change is in order.
The issue of the Journal that you now hold in your hand will be
the last that you see until April 3. On that day spring, the season
of rebirth , and spring quarter will have begun. A new season and
a new academic quarter will herald the reawakening of the Journal.
.
What we need to do is to tie Evergreen's paper in with the students and the school it's purported to serve; to make the paper
speak to us. The spirit of innovation must pervade the paper to
the same extent that it pervades the school. We must not be afraid
of change ; we must not be afraid to change. We want to give the
Cooper Point Journal back to Evergreen.

problems while we are doing our best to right them .

Article VII. Style
The writing style of the in-depth and investigative features will be more free

ObjectIVIty and honesty will be stressed in all stories. "News style" writing will

through the magazine itself.
.The magazine will need all types of people to become involved. Weekly theater

EPIC ache
To the Editor :
As Evergreen students we feel obligated
to object to the activities of the Evergreen
Political Information Center (EPIC)' especia lly after their performance at last
week's rally . Our objections are as follows:
EP IC' s tactics undermine the sense of
trust between Evergreen students, faculty,
staff, and administration by childishly inferri ng that each of these groups cannot
recognize or see beyond its own self-interests.
They unjustifiably tag revolutionary
and socialist conno tati ons on such non Marxist activi ties as: International Woman's rights, College tuition increases, the
state worker salary controversy, and the
Moss-Clabaugh issue, thus forc ing upon
supporters of these movement s a tacit
Page 4

association with the Socialist cause. We
feel this may deter some concerned students from involvement with these issues
'if they do not wish to support EPIC's socialist views.
We contend that their over-reactionary
methods of handling these issues, which
seem to manifest themselves in abusive
language, protest songs, and pamphleteering, is irrational and tends to cloud the
real problems at the center of these issues .
We question their transformation of valid
. campus and social issues into a part of the
socia list / imperialist controversy.
We ask for support from other community members who feel as we do, so as
to determine whether or not our contentions reflect a majority view. If so, we ask
that first, EPIC tone down its activities
and second, that its name be changed so
as to make clear its socia list alignment.
We hope that if a majority holds this desirable, EPIC, in their dedication to
"serve the people" will comply with these
wishes .

If you feel as we do, please let EPIC
know, or talk to one of us .

Vice principal and Co-host Stormin'
Ted Normondy today announced Jon
Boss' appo intm e n t to Dean - of-DamnNear-Everything . Boss replaces the last of
the now extinct deans and veeps that
Cooper Point 'ournal

I guess I've become one of the apa,thetic
mass, 'cause it has taken a pretty direct
slap in the face , (a certain controversial
appointment), to get me into action. I
figure this letter will have no or less effect
considering how highly the student voice
in it has been regarded so far, but 1 can 't
go: without my say.
I
Through three years at this coll ege, I've
seen some pretty drast ic changes take
place. I've watched a school that o nce
said its name , " Evergreen, " wit h pride
meekly stand up and call itself "Everanything" depending on what it's taken to
please the public. A few bad words from
a legislator or two , a nd the schoo l starting from the top of the hierarchy and filtering on down , jump s at its own
shadow.
A man can't call himself a devout Jew if
he tries to pass as a n Arab when visiting
Cairo. We have prided ourselves on 'attempting an effective but different form of
education. (And I, for one, feel I have
succeeded.) Yet, our PR system tries to
convince the powers that be that we're
not so different. We try to put on shows
to keep us from looking so different and,
by god, we're becoming less and less different. Our attempts to be what we're not
are weakening the structure of this school
by' the minute and give the fight against
the school the only real power it has. If
we want to be the Evergreen we set out to
be, we have to stand up and fight for it.
And that includes standing behind the
documents that are the base of this schoo l.
This unprecedented appointment to a
new position without following the
chosen system is a heavy step on the
groin of the studentry. If the schoo l administration con tinues with this appoi ntment, Without following the established
procedures, it will only succeed in weakening the school communi ty , (amorphous
as it may bel. in a time when the school
~need s most to be toget her.

'D on't let . it die
To the Editor :
RE : Board cf Trustees / Clabaugh decision
Evergreen is dead . .. I will support any
action, including a general strike, to show
the administration that its manipulation
of us cannot be tolerated. Staff, students
and faculty must join together and exercise our power.
I Mr. Dixon, I th a nk you for your honesty. It was the only ray of hope throughout the whole process. You was right!
The administration is playing a deadly
game of chess . . . we are the pawns . . .
our queen has been captured and the king
is in big trouble. Mate is not far away.
Whether it is stalemate or checkmate is up
to the majority .
Carlos is a brilliant spokesman for the
Hearing Board and Lynn and the other
people worked above and beyond the call
of duty for us, the community . Must we
let this spirit die?
Red

Mouth over mind
To the Editor:
I as an outsider would like to comment
on the evertts of last Friday (Feb. 28). I
am referring to the student rally and President McCann's address to Evergreen .
In my opinion the rally "Leaders" never
bothered to stop and give the existing
issues , (the Clabaugh-Moss, tuition hike ,
and the state employees strike issues)
enough thought, especially how to put
them together to make them coherent.
They not only should have unified the
issues but a lso the people who are interested in them . That did not happen be,cause of the serious mistakes they made at

cultivating support.
What they were attempting to do was
create solidarity yet what they achieved
was a lot of alienation. How could I go
along with people who have little regard
for other people's rights? Especially th'eir
demanding of President McCann to talk
to them at their convenience rather than
waiting till 3 p.m . when his address was
scheduled . Their paranoid reasoning was
·that McCann planned his address purposely to conflict with a speaker which
many of the "Leaders" wanted to hear.
Thank God McCann was not available to
be subjected to their temper tantrum.
I'd like to comment on their lack of reasoning. They demanded McCann to reverse his stand on the tuition hike but yet
they never asked why he took the stand

EPIC ache
To the Editor :
As Evergreen students we feel obligated
to object to the activities of the Evergreen
Political Information Center (EPIC)' especia lly after their performance at last
week's rally . Our objections are as follows:
EP IC' s tactics undermine the sense of
trust between Evergreen students, faculty,
staff, and administration by childishly inferri ng that each of these groups cannot
recognize or see beyond its own self-interests.
They unjustifiably tag revolutionary
and socialist conno tati ons on such non Marxist activi ties as: International Woman's rights, College tuition increases, the
state worker salary controversy, and the
Moss-Clabaugh issue, thus forc ing upon
supporters of these movement s a tacit
Page 4

association with the Socialist cause. We
feel this may deter some concerned students from involvement with these issues
'if they do not wish to support EPIC's socialist views.
We contend that their over-reactionary
methods of handling these issues, which
seem to manifest themselves in abusive
language, protest songs, and pamphleteering, is irrational and tends to cloud the
real problems at the center of these issues .
We question their transformation of valid
. campus and social issues into a part of the
socia list / imperialist controversy.
We ask for support from other community members who feel as we do, so as
to determine whether or not our contentions reflect a majority view. If so, we ask
that first, EPIC tone down its activities
and second, that its name be changed so
as to make clear its socia list alignment.
We hope that if a majority holds this desirable, EPIC, in their dedication to
"serve the people" will comply with these
wishes .

If you feel as we do, please let EPIC
know, or talk to one of us .

Cooper Point 'ournal

I guess I've become one of the apa,thetic
mass, 'cause it has taken a pretty direct
slap in the face , (a certain controversial
appointment), to get me into action. I
figure this letter will have no or less effect
considering how highly the student voice
in it has been regarded so far, but 1 can 't
go: without my say.
I
Through three years at this coll ege, I've
seen some pretty drast ic changes take
place. I've watched a school that o nce
said its name , " Evergreen, " wit h pride
meekly stand up and call itself "Everanything" depending on what it's taken to
please the public. A few bad words from
a legislator or two , a nd the schoo l starting from the top of the hierarchy and filtering on down , jump s at its own
shadow.
A man can't call himself a devout Jew if
he tries to pass as a n Arab when visiting
Cairo. We have prided ourselves on 'attempting an effective but different form of
education. (And I, for one, feel I have
succeeded.) Yet, our PR system tries to
convince the powers that be that we're
not so different. We try to put on shows
to keep us from looking so different and,
by god, we're becoming less and less different. Our attempts to be what we're not
are weakening the structure of this school
by' the minute and give the fight against
the school the only real power it has. If
we want to be the Evergreen we set out to
be, we have to stand up and fight for it.
And that includes standing behind the
documents that are the base of this schoo l.
This unprecedented appointment to a
new position without following the
chosen system is a heavy step on the
groin of the studentry. If the schoo l administration con tinues with this appoi ntment, Without following the established
procedures, it will only succeed in weakening the school communi ty , (amorphous
as it may bel. in a time when the school
~need s most to be toget her.

'D on't let . it die
To the Editor :
RE : Board cf Trustees / Clabaugh decision
Evergreen is dead . .. I will support any
action, including a general strike, to show
the administration that its manipulation
of us cannot be tolerated. Staff, students
and faculty must join together and exercise our power.
I Mr. Dixon, I th a nk you for your honesty. It was the only ray of hope throughout the whole process. You was right!
The administration is playing a deadly
game of chess . . . we are the pawns . . .
our queen has been captured and the king
is in big trouble. Mate is not far away.
Whether it is stalemate or checkmate is up
to the majority .
Carlos is a brilliant spokesman for the
Hearing Board and Lynn and the other
people worked above and beyond the call
of duty for us, the community . Must we
let this spirit die?

Mouth over mind
To the Editor:
I as an outsider would like to comment
on the evertts of last Friday (Feb. 28). I
am referring to the student rally and President McCann's address to Evergreen .
In my opinion the rally "Leaders" never
bothered to stop and give the existing
issues , (the Clabaugh-Moss, tuition hike ,
and the state employees strike issues)
enough thought, especially how to put
them together to make them coherent.
They not only should have unified the
issues but a lso the people who are interested in them . That did not happen be,cause of the serious mistakes they made at

cultivating support.
What they were attempting to do was
create solidarity yet what they achieved
was a lot of alienation. How could I go
along with people who have little regard
for other people's rights? Especially th'eir
demanding of President McCann to talk
to them at their convenience rather than
waiting till 3 p.m . when his address was
scheduled . Their paranoid reasoning was
·that McCann planned his address purposely to conflict with a speaker which
many of the "Leaders" wanted to hear.
Thank God McCann was not available to
be subjected to their temper tantrum.
I'd like to comment on their lack of reasoning. They demanded McCann to reverse his stand on the tuition hike but yet
they never asked why he took the stand

TEXT OF McCANN 'S SPEECH
THE WR ITER AND SOCIETY

Rubyfruit Rap
Rita Mae Brown, lesbian/feminist, poetess and author of several books, including
Rubyfruit Jungle, spoke at Evergreen on Feb. 28. In one short week's notice, Kate
S ~~nnard and- Laura Zeidenstein organized the event. Even with the' necessarily limitea publicity the audience numbered over 200 . Rita Mae arrived almost an hour late
during which time the audience waited patiently. We suspect this is because this was
the first time lesbian / feminism has been addressed openly on this campus outside of
activities directly <:onnected with the Gay Resource Center.
R·ita Mae Brown is an extremely positive woman who clarified many major personal/political points that affect us all. For lesbians it filled a tremendously important need -to have another lesbian express our commonalities intelligently and with
warmth. For the rest of the Evergreen community the issues she dealt with and the
way she presented them were educational and full of new insights.
When she got to the stage, Martha Woodhull presented her with flowers from the
women on campus and food fro in Laura Mae and Jane of Rainbow Grocery. Rita
Mae laughed, remarking, "This is the first time this ever happened to me." She was
very perceptive in her ability to tune into the problems we were having earlier in the
afternoon regarding the conflicting schedule of President McCann's meeting with the
already publicized lecture of Rita Mae Brown : She also spoke to the questionableness of the Affirmative Action policy on campus.
Beginning with comments about not wanting to be ·a "professional lesbian," Rita ·
Mae went into her analysis of the problems of organization in political movements
and why it is important to be progressively active and not passive and reactionary.
She stressed th~ point that now, during the present period of crises, is the opportune
time for organizing and action to take place. Rita Mae believes in working towards
change within the system through the establishment of a third party. One of the
main problems she sees as blocking movements is the complete internalization of
"woman-hatred" in this society. This internalization is present in women and men
and it must be consciously confronted to rid ourselves of it. She continually stressed
that there is constant struggle, that we "can't look for the answer, (we must) be the
answer."
She related her personal experiences of being poor in the rural South, her pride in
being a Southerner, and how her background affects her political analysis. The
power in her words came from the integration of personal feelings with intellectual
thinking, an ability to relate theory to our personal lives. This is a quality that
many women share.
To create a balance between the hard struggle of political life and the humor in
our personal lives she did an oral interpretation from her book, Rubyfruit lungle.
Everyone was right there with Molly and her passions for Leota. There were seldom
moments of silence between the laughter I Rita Mae is an example of her belief that
art and politics together create a positive base for personal/political action to take
place . A new book of hers entitled In Her Day will be out in the near. future .

procedures and faculty vulnerability in
hiring and firing processes has been
act iv e ly vo iced. Tom Rainey, newly
elected president of the Evergreen AFT
loca l pointed o ut that the Moss
controversy has "underscored the ambiguity of governance" at Evergreen .
At a me e tin g Tuesday , March 6,
officers were elected for the local. Rainey
was elected president; Margaret Cribskov, vice president ; C huck Pail thorp,
secretary and Peta Henderson, treasurer.
At the meeting, dues were also discussed
a nd two resolutions passed. The resolu tions (referring to the a nti cipated state
workers' strike ) were ; 1. This local will
suppor t the State Workers' efforts . to
obta in a , just settlement through collective
bargaining and will respect a nd honor a
strike action by not crossing picket lines.
2. Further, the members of this local will
s upp ort a State Workers ' action by
refraining from professional duties on
campus or off for the duration of the
strike.
Ano ther major point discussed at the
meeting was to increase the membership
of the local by persuading other faculty
members to join the union. Rainey a lso
pointed ou t that the local was not out to
produce any s up erstars and was a
democratic organization.

Dean C harles Teske, Dean of Lib rary
Services Jovana Brown, facu lty member

and Nicholas H, All ison . The progr am
will be aired on KAOS tOITIorrnw , M ,lrch
7, a t 7:30 p.m .
During the course of the hour - long die;cussion , Kuehnle covered a wide range of
Evergreen -related subj ec ts, o lltlin in f, hi s
view~ on educa tion and df fending the
validity of his recen t co ntroversiill sur vey
of Olympia area residents' view s on Evergreen.
The survey, wh ich asked resident s to
decide o n President Charles lvlcCilnn 's
co mpetency , the des irability of "open
meetings and seminars" on "thought -p m ·
voking subjects" includ ing ho mosexuality
and drug use, and whether the bud gft requ est made by the coll ege was a so und in vestment of taxpayer money o r not, was
distributed random ly to every 82nd n ame
in the O lympia phone book , a total of
389. Forty-six percent, or 170 of tho se
polled responded, and in most cases a
majority agreed with Kuehnle's view s .
D oubts had been raised , however, by fellow legislators and local residen ts ar, to
whether the survey ,had been conductrd
fairly .
" j think my survey was a ve r y va lid
one, and did in fact represen t th e sent i
ments of the residents of the O ly mp ia
community," sa id Kuehnle. "Dr . McCann
was critica l to a degree of that survey.
a nd suggested instead th at I might better
survey the grad uat es of TES C and th eir
employers to find out how thE'Y a re in
fact finding their way out int o the world ,
. l'd like to do it ; but Dr, McCa nn
has refused to provide me with the infol mation that I m ight need to pursue th 'l \ "

Approximately tw o weeks ago, members of the EVfrgrfen facu lty made
arrangeme nts to start a local chapter of
the Am e rican Federation of Teachers
(AFT) on campus . The drive to es tablish a
chapter of the AFT began during fall
qUdrter of 1974 when representatives from '
different teaching union groups came to
Evergreen to present and elaborate on the
adva nt ages and disadvantages of the
different union s.

KUEHNLE PUT "ON THE SPOT"
Last Monday evening, March 3, Representative James Kuehnle (R-Spokane) , Ev ergreen's most voca l foe in the legislature,

panel discussion on KAOS-FM 's "On the

procedures and faculty vulnerability in
hiring and firing processes has been
act iv e ly vo iced. Tom Rainey, newly
elected president of the Evergreen AFT
loca l pointed o ut that the Moss
controversy has "underscored the ambiguity of governance" at Evergreen .
At a me e tin g Tuesday , March 6,
officers were elected for the local. Rainey
was elected president; Margaret Cribskov, vice president ; C huck Pail thorp,
secretary and Peta Henderson, treasurer.
At the meeting, dues were also discussed
a nd two resolutions passed. The resolu tions (referring to the a nti cipated state
workers' strike ) were ; 1. This local will
suppor t the State Workers' efforts . to
obta in a , just settlement through collective
bargaining and will respect a nd honor a
strike action by not crossing picket lines.
2. Further, the members of this local will
s upp ort a State Workers ' action by
refraining from professional duties on
campus or off for the duration of the
strike.
Ano ther major point discussed at the
meeting was to increase the membership
of the local by persuading other faculty
members to join the union. Rainey a lso
pointed ou t that the local was not out to
produce any s up erstars and was a
democratic organization.

and Nicholas H, All ison . The progr am
will be aired on KAOS tOITIorrnw , M ,lrch
7, a t 7:30 p.m .
During the course of the hour - long die;cussion , Kuehnle covered a wide range of
Evergreen -related subj ec ts, o lltlin in f, hi s
view~ on educa tion and df fending the
validity of his recen t co ntroversiill sur vey
of Olympia area residents' view s on Evergreen.
The survey, wh ich asked resident s to
decide o n President Charles lvlcCilnn 's
co mpetency , the des irability of "open
meetings and seminars" on "thought -p m ·
voking subjects" includ ing ho mosexuality
and drug use, and whether the bud gft requ est made by the coll ege was a so und in vestment of taxpayer money o r not, was
distributed random ly to every 82nd n ame
in the O lympia phone book , a total of
389. Forty-six percent, or 170 of tho se
polled responded, and in most cases a
majority agreed with Kuehnle's view s .
D oubts had been raised , however, by fellow legislators and local residen ts ar, to
whether the survey ,had been conductrd
fairly .
" j think my survey was a ve r y va lid
one, and did in fact represen t th e sent i
ments of the residents of the O ly mp ia
community," sa id Kuehnle. "Dr . McCann
was critica l to a degree of that survey.
a nd suggested instead th at I might better
survey the grad uat es of TES C and th eir
employers to find out how thE'Y a re in
fact finding their way out int o the world ,
. l'd like to do it ; but Dr, McCa nn
has refused to provide me with the infol mation that I m ight need to pursue th 'l \ "
Kuehnle explained that he wrote to McCann request ing th a t infQrmat ion , but
was "nonp lussed" to receivE' "a co mpui e r

would have a whale of a lot of fun manufacturing, but my good business judgment
told me that I should probably go out and
survey the market, to see if the product is
saleable. So I wound up manufacturing
those things for which there was market
acceptibility, not thosJ" things which I
thought would be an awful lot of fun to

here."
Later he said, ''I've talked to innumerable students out here who are going nowhere. They' re having a great time in the
process.
Kuehnle says he has received numerous
letters from Olympia residents who came
out to the college for the purpose of attending a symposium or modular course
but found "they had to wade through so
much over-emphasis on sex, the gay liberation front... that they just simply
turned around aAd headed back home."
He warned that if the administration of
the college were "interested in developing
the best possible relationship with that
legislature that is going to determine its
success or lack of success from a funding
standpoint ," it would cease to give such a
"tremendous amount of publicity" to the
gay community on campus. "We recognize . . . there probably exists on every
college campus in the state a gay element,
but there's only one college in the state
that I know of that seems to go out of
their way to attract new additions to that
element, and that's this one."
Later on in the discussion, Kuehnle
made a reference to "programs" a t Evergreen, and was asked if he were referring
to the coordinated study programs.
" I don't know what that is, " replied
Kuehnle.

An Attack on Confidence
By TOM GRAHAM

The Best and the Worst
By MILLIE I3ROMBACHER
Evergreen President Charles McCann
sta ted during his open forum address
yesterday afternoon , March 5, in the
Library lobby that "Evergreen is in danger
of becoming like Yeats' poor, sick Ireland,
where the best lacked all conviction and
the worst were full of passionate
intensity. "
Addressing approximate ly 200 community members, McCann praised the
Spec ial Advisory Group, w hi ch he"
appointed to convene Monday, March 3
to discuss the implications of the recent
Board of Trustees action on the
Clabaugh / Moss appeal relative to Evergreen 's people and processes.
McCann init iated ~is statement by
noting two lessons to be learned through
the a nnounced resignation of Pete
Si nclair , Marine History and Crafts
co-ord inator during the advisory group
meeting. According to Sinclair, the
resignation would be effective June, 1976.
McCann said "I learned, at least, two
le sso ns from it. The first was that
institutions can' t deal with racism, only
ind ividua l human beings can. The second
was to those of us who see a problem or
feel it a nd then start pointing fingers."
McCann a lso announced several solution s from the Advisory Group's discuss ion , which he felt need to be
accomplished. He sta ted "The Affirmative
Action document is substantially adequat e; however. one sharpening-up must
be made. The aff irm ative action officer
must a pprove the procedure of se lection s.
"A lso. we have a scree nin g and
se lec ti o n poli cy for th e civ il service staff
a nd tJndt y. \ Ve do not a nd must have a
Page 12

similar policy for the screening and
selection of exempted administrative staff.
"Should a case of financial exigency
arise, we have a well thought-out policy
called our Reduction in Force (RIF) . The
RIF policy may only be instit.uted upon
the Trustees declaring a state of fin ancial
ex igency. Certainl y, that is not presently
the case; but we do not, (It present , have
enough foresight and pro ~e dures for the
prudent decisions which must be taken in
a time of stable growth when administrative responsibilities should be combined, "
McCa nn exp lained.
" I sha ll ask the vice-presiqents t o
convene the group that would've convened if the RIF po li cy were activated. That
group is high ly representative," he said.
"Some have ra ised the poss ibilrt y of my
find ing a way to undo the recent Board of
Trustees deci sion. This I cannot do .
Sometimes there wi ll be decisions made
by these government <d bodies that I can
and wil l not liv e with. When that
happens, either I try to persuade people
or I resign, " he declared. "In this case, I
assured the Trustees before the hearing
that I wou ld liv e with their deCI sion and
do my best to carry it out ":hichever way
it came out."
McCann cor,tinued, "Th ere ha s a lso
been questioning of the Tru stees' role in
the gr ievance process. I believe this needs
further st udy. I shou ld li ke to begin th a t
st ud y after the recommendation s I
mention ed earl ier have been received ."
Exp lai nin g, he stat ed "My reasoning has
to do more with impressions. I don ' t
think it wou ld be good ' to giv e th e
Tru stees th e impression that it is fin e for
interna l matt ers to be brought to th em as
long as th eir a nswer i., J!nrlllilr ' but. it is

not good for us to bring matters to them
that would be unpopular.
"I wou ld also like you to consider the
degree to which the Trustees have left the
workings , to people who are on the
Evergreen campus all the time. To my
know ledge , it is unmatched," he concluded.
After summarizing his speech, McCann
opened the floor to community comment
and questions. Kevin C lark, an Advisory
Group member , was the first speaker.
Clark stated "W ithin this entire controversy, which I call the gap between what we
say and do, are two distinct issues. The
first is racisim. We ought to come out and
say it : thi s inst ituti on is racist: 1 am
raci st ; yo u are racist - most of us 'in this
room a re racist. We ought to stop fooling
our se lv es a nd sta rt deal in g w ith this
problem.
Clark co ntinued, "The second issue
dea ls with governa nce. That could have
clearly bee n add ressed by the Advisory
Group, and was not. .. Never again say we
have a ci:jmp us Hearing Board when we
know that tht Hearing Board is only as
good as th e pa per the Board of Trustees
puts into it - if it is on ly a preliminary
step as it appea rs to be ."
"We've managed to be disturbed and
a ngry but I don ' t know we really
under ~ t a nd what is going on. How can we
work in a real educational forum if we
don 't know what ou r document s are?
Wh a t is th e Soc i<ll Co ntract? I used to
think th e socia l co ntract meant that we
dre a ll supposed to be friends," commen tl,J Ma rth a Woodhull. "Appa rently, the
Soc ial Contract i!> something written on
paper . I thin k we have to fin d out what
ou r gllvc rn a nce syc;tem is."

The conflict over Vice President Dean
Clabaugh's decision to promote John
Moss has split· the Evergreen Community
along a natural division. At least that's
the belief of President Charles McCann.
"We do have two types here at
Evergreen," McCann stated midway
through his Feb, 28 address to the
community. "One type reads, talks ,
conjectures, tends in certain cases to give
students and familiars the benefit of
doubt, works on a variety of group and
individual senses of time. The other type
works to a strict clock, that of the
business and governmental world outside
Evergreen with w hich it must interface. It
can give little benefit of doubt. Dollars,
space and actions must be documented
and accounted for."
McCann then spoke of the essential
nature of both groups and the growing
divisiveness between them. He continued
"When one type would speak of someon~
on the opposing side who happened to be
also of the other type, and especially
when race or sex was also involved, the
snobbery took on, in the form of a glint
in the eye, a twist in the vo ice, the ugly
aspect h ate." McCann Loncluded this
section of the speech with a plea to the
·community to deal wit!1 the situation .
"I was one of the people that Dean
Clabaugh consulted with when he made
this decision in the first place," McCann
began in his explana tion to the Special
Advisory Gro up of hi s ro le in the

Moss Questioned
By MARY HESTER
'The controversy is healt hy. The part
that bothers me is not the open forum ,
the open dist ussion , but the personal
attacks. There is no way to confro nt or
solve it. In my mind it negates the
statemen ts that there's nothing personal
involved, " sa id John Moss, dual director
of Personnel and Auxi li a ry Services.

Moss described his reaction to the
Board of Trustees' recent decision
affirming his appointment as one of
"relief. satisfaction, pleasure." He believes
the Trustees' judgment "strikes a good
balance" between the Committee on
Governance document (COG) , the Socia!
Contract, the Affirmative Action and
Reduction In Force (RIF) documel1ts , and

An Attack on Confidence
By TOM GRAHAM

The Best and the Worst
By MILLIE I3ROMBACHER
Evergreen President Charles McCann
sta ted during his open forum address
yesterday afternoon , March 5, in the
Library lobby that "Evergreen is in danger
of becoming like Yeats' poor, sick Ireland,
where the best lacked all conviction and
the worst were full of passionate
intensity. "
Addressing approximate ly 200 community members, McCann praised the
Spec ial Advisory Group, w hi ch he"
appointed to convene Monday, March 3
to discuss the implications of the recent
Board of Trustees action on the
Clabaugh / Moss appeal relative to Evergreen 's people and processes.
McCann init iated ~is statement by
noting two lessons to be learned through
the a nnounced resignation of Pete
Si nclair , Marine History and Crafts
co-ord inator during the advisory group
meeting. According to Sinclair, the
resignation would be effective June, 1976.
McCann said "I learned, at least, two
le sso ns from it. The first was that
institutions can' t deal with racism, only
ind ividua l human beings can. The second
was to those of us who see a problem or
feel it a nd then start pointing fingers."
McCann a lso announced several solution s from the Advisory Group's discuss ion , which he felt need to be
accomplished. He sta ted "The Affirmative
Action document is substantially adequat e; however. one sharpening-up must
be made. The aff irm ative action officer
must a pprove the procedure of se lection s.
"A lso. we have a scree nin g and
se lec ti o n poli cy for th e civ il service staff
a nd tJndt y. \ Ve do not a nd must have a
Page 12

similar policy for the screening and
selection of exempted administrative staff.
"Should a case of financial exigency
arise, we have a well thought-out policy
called our Reduction in Force (RIF) . The
RIF policy may only be instit.uted upon
the Trustees declaring a state of fin ancial
ex igency. Certainl y, that is not presently
the case; but we do not, (It present , have
enough foresight and pro ~e dures for the
prudent decisions which must be taken in
a time of stable growth when administrative responsibilities should be combined, "
McCa nn exp lained.
" I sha ll ask the vice-presiqents t o
convene the group that would've convened if the RIF po li cy were activated. That
group is high ly representative," he said.
"Some have ra ised the poss ibilrt y of my
find ing a way to undo the recent Board of
Trustees deci sion. This I cannot do .
Sometimes there wi ll be decisions made
by these government <d bodies that I can
and wil l not liv e with. When that
happens, either I try to persuade people
or I resign, " he declared. "In this case, I
assured the Trustees before the hearing
that I wou ld liv e with their deCI sion and
do my best to carry it out ":hichever way
it came out."
McCann cor,tinued, "Th ere ha s a lso
been questioning of the Tru stees' role in
the gr ievance process. I believe this needs
further st udy. I shou ld li ke to begin th a t
st ud y after the recommendation s I
mention ed earl ier have been received ."
Exp lai nin g, he stat ed "My reasoning has
to do more with impressions. I don ' t
think it wou ld be good ' to giv e th e
Tru stees th e impression that it is fin e for
interna l matt ers to be brought to th em as
long as th eir a nswer i., J!nrlllilr ' but. it is

not good for us to bring matters to them
that would be unpopular.
"I wou ld also like you to consider the
degree to which the Trustees have left the
workings , to people who are on the
Evergreen campus all the time. To my
know ledge , it is unmatched," he concluded.
After summarizing his speech, McCann
opened the floor to community comment
and questions. Kevin C lark, an Advisory
Group member , was the first speaker.
Clark stated "W ithin this entire controversy, which I call the gap between what we
say and do, are two distinct issues. The
first is racisim. We ought to come out and
say it : thi s inst ituti on is racist: 1 am
raci st ; yo u are racist - most of us 'in this
room a re racist. We ought to stop fooling
our se lv es a nd sta rt deal in g w ith this
problem.
Clark co ntinued, "The second issue
dea ls with governa nce. That could have
clearly bee n add ressed by the Advisory
Group, and was not. .. Never again say we
have a ci:jmp us Hearing Board when we
know that tht Hearing Board is only as
good as th e pa per the Board of Trustees
puts into it - if it is on ly a preliminary
step as it appea rs to be ."
"We've managed to be disturbed and
a ngry but I don ' t know we really
under ~ t a nd what is going on. How can we
work in a real educational forum if we
don 't know what ou r document s are?
Wh a t is th e Soc i<ll Co ntract? I used to
think th e socia l co ntract meant that we
dre a ll supposed to be friends," commen tl,J Ma rth a Woodhull. "Appa rently, the
Soc ial Contract i!> something written on
paper . I thin k we have to fin d out what
ou r gllvc rn a nce syc;tem is."

The conflict over Vice President Dean
Clabaugh's decision to promote John
Moss has split· the Evergreen Community
along a natural division. At least that's
the belief of President Charles McCann.
"We do have two types here at
Evergreen," McCann stated midway
through his Feb, 28 address to the
community. "One type reads, talks ,
conjectures, tends in certain cases to give
students and familiars the benefit of
doubt, works on a variety of group and
individual senses of time. The other type
works to a strict clock, that of the
business and governmental world outside
Evergreen with w hich it must interface. It
can give little benefit of doubt. Dollars,
space and actions must be documented
and accounted for."
McCann then spoke of the essential
nature of both groups and the growing
divisiveness between them. He continued
"When one type would speak of someon~
on the opposing side who happened to be
also of the other type, and especially
when race or sex was also involved, the
snobbery took on, in the form of a glint
in the eye, a twist in the vo ice, the ugly
aspect h ate." McCann Loncluded this
section of the speech with a plea to the
·community to deal wit!1 the situation .
"I was one of the people that Dean
Clabaugh consulted with when he made
this decision in the first place," McCann
began in his explana tion to the Special
Advisory Gro up of hi s ro le in the

'The controversy is healt hy. The part

Moss described his reaction to the
Board of Trustees' recent decision
affirming his appointment as one of
"relief. satisfaction, pleasure." He believes
the Trustees' judgment "strikes a good
balance" between the Committee on
Governance document (COG) , the Socia!
Contract, the Affirmative Action and
Reduction In Force (RIF) documel1ts , and
the concept of attrition management. "All
of those things , in<;luding the political and

with that reduction the administrators
need the option to merge jobs within the
institution. If each merger constitutes a
new job position, open to hiring, then
management problems will ' increase. The
purpose of merging to save the jobs of
staff members already at Evergreen would

Halvor Halvorson, a Board of Trustees
member. " We considered our own
decision very thoroughly. It would have
pleased people the other way ; however
legally we couldn't have done so . It set no
precedent; we would've liked upholding
the Hearing Board, but we didn't feel it
was legal."
"I think the problem wasn't the Board's

the decision," .said faculty member Hap
Freund at the Special Advisory Group to

had violated the "spirit of affirmative
action by his failure to take specific action
as required by that policy" when he
appointed Moss to a newly created
position without selecting a can~idate
from a non-discriminatory appltcant
pool.
Clabaugh argued that the Director of
Personnel position was never vacant and
that Moss, formerly director of auxiliary
services, was incumbent in the position ;
hence, the affirmative action vacancy-filling procedures had not been violated . He
asked the Board of Trustees to review the
Hearing Board's decision. During a Feb .

the case.
Voting Feb . 26 to overrule the Hearing
Board's decision, the Board of Trustees
confirmed Moss in the dual directorship
of Auxiliary Services and Personne'l,
stating : "The Board is of the opinion that
the action by the Administrative Vice
President was within his authority as

Cooper Point Journal

The decision of Dean of Student
Services Latty Stenberg to promote
Financial Aid Counselor Kay
. Atwood to the position of Director
of Financial Aid, filling a position
left vacant by Bill Smith's resignation, has been the target of criticism
from some segments of the Evergreen community.
A petition dated Feb . 18 addressed to the Board of Trustees
supports the "administrative right i ,
of Dean Clabaugh in his appointment of John Moss. However, the
next to the last para~raph addresses
itself to the Stenberg appointment.
"If Dean Clabaugh's decision is
reversed, we fear a very ineffective
administration will result and that
every unpopular decision may have
to go through a grievance process.
. Indeed, if Vice President Clabaugh's
decision is reversed, we suggest a
grievance may need to be filed
against Larry Stenberg for appointing Kay Atwood to the post of
Director of Financial Aid without
having opened the position to
competition following Bill Smith's
resignation. "
However, Stenberg sees a major
difference in the process of decisionmaking by the two men . Stenberg
states he followed page 8 of the
Affirmative Action document which
instructs each "personnel appointing
authority" before announcing a
open position to prepare a "a list of
proposed recruiting services ... a list '
of specific job-related criteria, and a
des~ription of how each criterion
will be measured in the candidates"
for the Affirmative Action Officer's
"review and recommendation."
"It's highly unlikely I'd have
promoted Kay to the position
without Rindy's (Rindetta Jones ,
Affirmative Action officer) support
of the process of finding someone
to fulfill the position," states
Stenberg.
A majo,r issue in the dispute is
who the primary interpreter of the
Affirmative Action document is. "I
believe it is the Affirmative Action
Officer -- Rindy Jones," said
Stenberg.
Another issue which Stenberg
feels separates the two decisions is a
sentence in Affirmative Action
which states, "All decisions on
employment and promotion must
utilize only valid job related
requirements."

March 6, 1975

We' re students, and you're here to offer
us something and by us being here , we're
offering you jobs . Please remember how
important we are as students, and we're
not part of the corporation. "
The feeling of an increasing corporate
atmosphere was also acknowledged by
student Kevin Clark. "I think it's clear
that decision making is going to go on in
a closed environment. It's going to be
legalistic, and we're going to have to have
case citations and that kind of crap, and
we're not going to be able to sit down on
a par bas is and say this just doesn't feel
right. Feelings don't matter, laws do,
documents do ."
The a lternative to making more policies
and procedures to guide the actions of
administrators is to trust the administrators to make decisions in the community
interest witho ut those guidelines. Neither

Without a recognition from the
administration on the importance of the
issu~s. raised, those who opposed the
deCISIOn had no affirmation that the
~dministration believed in the policies the
Issue.s were based on. No recognition of
the Importance of the affirmative action
question could mean no recognition of the
Human Rights document. No recognition
of the legitimate nature of the grievance
could mean a dismissal of the grievance
policy in COG as a bother.
"It is not so important that the response
came from this group to Charles
(McCann}," Patterson said about the
Advisory Group. "In
my head it is
becoming more importa~t that the
response is from the presidents and the
vic~ p.r esidents . In somehow addressing,

perhaps, commg out of this conversation.

Somehow the response is from y o u
(meaning McCann) not us . It seems to me
that's where it counts."
" I think that the processes were
followed . The general processes were
foll~~ed ," said Director of Facilities Jerry
Schlllmger, who felt the decision and the
grievance process were in accordance with
COG. "In light of what is sritten here
(COG) those decision were proper. I don ' t
happen to agree with what is writted here
as the way to (un the regime . I don ' t
believe these matters should ever reach

.
" It really scares the shit out of me when
you talk about the fact that ~e ' ve got

members occured Jan. 9. Unsucessful. the
mediation attempt resulted in an All
Campus Hearing Board meeting Jan. 21,
in which a decision was again postponed .
The Board of Trustees met Jan . 23 to be
informed by Evergreen President Charles
McCann that the Moss case had not yet
been heard by the Hearing Board.
After a four-ho~r deliberation session
Jan . 27 , th e Hearing Board decided
unanim ously to reverse the appointment
of M oss. The Board found that Clabaugh

no matter which way we went," stated
Halvor Halvorson, a Board of Trustees
member. " We considered our own
decision very thoroughly. It would have
pleased people the other way ; however
legally we couldn't have done so . It set no
precedent; we would've liked upholding
the Hearing Board, but we didn't feel it
was legal."
"I think the problem wasn't the Board's
decision, but the way in which they made
the decision," .said faculty member Hap
Freund at the Special Advisory Group to
the President meeting.
The decision made by the Board of
Trustees did not address the issue of
affirmative action . This action could be
interpreted as a dismissal of the
importance of affirmative action; an
indirect dismissal of the importance of the
Human Rights document.
had violated the "spirit of affirmative
action by his failure to take specific action
as required by that policy" when he
appointed Moss to a newly created
position without selecting a can~idate
from a non-discriminatory appltcant
pool.
Clabaugh argued that the Director of
Personnel position was never vacant and
that Moss, formerly director of auxiliary
services, was incumbent in the position ;
hence, the affirmative action vacancy-filling procedures had not been violated . He
asked the Board of Trustees to review the
Hearing Board's decision. During a Feb .
13 meeting , the Trustees decided to hear
the case.
Voting Feb . 26 to overrule the Hearing
Board's decision, the Board of Trustees
confirmed Moss in the dual directorship
of Auxiliary Services and Personne'l,
stating : "The Board is of the opinion that
the action by the Administrative Vice
President was within his authority as
one of the chief administrative officials
of the college and that nothing illegal was
involved in the management decision ."
Charles McCann addressed the fac'..llty,
staff and students here yesterday afternoon, March 5, to discuss his stand on
the affirmative acti o n validity issue
which, according to ma ny community
me mber s , wa s violated thr o ug h Cla, baugh' s acti o n on Nov . 13 .
Cooper Point Journal

The decision of Dean of Student
Services Latty Stenberg to promote
Financial Aid Counselor Kay
. Atwood to the position of Director
of Financial Aid, filling a position
left vacant by Bill Smith's resignation, has been the target of criticism
from some segments of the Evergreen community.
A petition dated Feb . 18 addressed to the Board of Trustees
supports the "administrative right i ,
of Dean Clabaugh in his appointment of John Moss. However, the
next to the last para~raph addresses
itself to the Stenberg appointment.
"If Dean Clabaugh's decision is
reversed, we fear a very ineffective
administration will result and that
every unpopular decision may have
to go through a grievance process.
. Indeed, if Vice President Clabaugh's
decision is reversed, we suggest a
grievance may need to be filed
against Larry Stenberg for appointing Kay Atwood to the post of
Director of Financial Aid without
having opened the position to
competition following Bill Smith's
resignation. "
However, Stenberg sees a major
difference in the process of decisionmaking by the two men . Stenberg
states he followed page 8 of the
Affirmative Action document which
instructs each "personnel appointing
authority" before announcing a
open position to prepare a "a list of
proposed recruiting services ... a list '
of specific job-related criteria, and a
des~ription of how each criterion
will be measured in the candidates"
for the Affirmative Action Officer's
"review and recommendation."
"It's highly unlikely I'd have
promoted Kay to the position
without Rindy's (Rindetta Jones ,
Affirmative Action officer) support
of the process of finding someone
to fulfill the position," states
Stenberg.
A majo,r issue in the dispute is
who the primary interpreter of the
Affirmative Action document is. "I
believe it is the Affirmative Action
Officer -- Rindy Jones," said
Stenberg.
Another issue which Stenberg
feels separates the two decisions is a
sentence in Affirmative Action
which states, "All decisions on
employment and promotion must
utilize only valid job related
requirements."

March 6, 1975

We' re students, and you're here to offer
us something and by us being here , we're
offering you jobs . Please remember how
important we are as students, and we're
not part of the corporation. "
The feeling of an increasing corporate
atmosphere was also acknowledged by
student Kevin Clark. "I think it's clear
that decision making is going to go on in
a closed environment. It's going to be
legalistic, and we're going to have to have
case citations and that kind of crap, and
we're not going to be able to sit down on
a par bas is and say this just doesn't feel
right. Feelings don't matter, laws do,
documents do ."
The a lternative to making more policies
and procedures to guide the actions of
administrators is to trust the administrators to make decisions in the community
interest witho ut those guidelines. Neither

administration on the importance of the

Issue.s were based on. No recognition of
the Importance of the affirmative action
question could mean no recognition of the
Human Rights document. No recognition
of the legitimate nature of the grievance
could mean a dismissal of the grievance
policy in COG as a bother.
"It is not so important that the response
came from this group to Charles
(McCann}," Patterson said about the
Advisory Group. "In
my head it is
becoming more importa~t that the
response is from the presidents and the

" I think that the processes were

grievance process were in accordance with
COG. "In light of what is sritten here

Trustees' Statement / McCann's Speech
Statement of the Board of Trustees,
Feb. 26, 1975
This matter came before the Board for
review based upon an appeal filed by
Dean Clabaugh from a decision rendered
by the Campus Hearing Board involving
the adjustment of certain job positions at
The Evergreen State College.
The Board has considered the reco rd
made before the Cam pus Hearing Board
a nd has considered the further testimo ny
offered and arguments of the parties and
has determined th a t it w ill reverse the decision of the Campus Hearing Board and
reinstate the decision of the Administrative Vice President. The Board is of the
op inion tha t the action by the Administrative Vice President was within' his authority as one of the chief administrative officials of the college and that nothing illegal
was involved in the managem ent decision
made.
The Board is of the further opinion that

would constitute a grave error were 1 to
so agree.
(3) I believe in this instance that Evergreen's affirmative action and equal opportunity policy has been dealt a severe
blow but hopefully this confrontation will
serve a useful purpose by alleviating problems of this sort in the future and I shaH
continue to work toward that end.
Thomas Dixon
President McCann's
Address to Community
Friday, February 28, 1975
3 p.m. - Lecture Hall #1:
I would like to address you for a few
minutes on what I perceive Evergreen's
co ndition to be in the wake of a quarterlong controversy which included, for the
first time in Evergreen 's four years' history , a use of our entire grievance procedure.
I use the word address intentionally for

ment. After some rest, however, upon
mulling over the Trustees' brevity, I had
some more positive second thoughts to
which I'll return in a few moments .
My despondency yesterday arose, so
far as I could sort things out, from three
sources. The first was, that apart from the
civility of the formal aspects of the grievance process I sensed in both sides, both
near the center and around the fringes,
divisiveness a nd anger - a good guys
and bad guys attitude . The second source
of despondency was a feeling that somehow, in sOIl)e not very clearly definable
way, so mething had come to a head that's
been building around here for a long
time . We talk , even gas, about "community ." The reality is that there are "academic" types and "business" types. I've
put quotation marks around both those
words. Each type does different things
and speaks separate languages. And from
that seems to arise some of the good guys

He looks up ...
the decision of the Campus Hearing Board
reflects not the legal it y or illega lity of the
act ion but a different management judgment which could have been made under
the circumstances.
The majority of the Board has thus
signed this decision which shall become
effective February 26, 1975 .
Ha lvor M. Halvorson
Janet P. Tourtellotte
Trueman L. Schmidt
H. D. Hadley
The Chairman of the Board respectfully
d issen ts from the decision of the majority
for the following reasons:
(1) It is my be lief th at no t o nl y the
sp irit of the aff irm at ive action policy but
a lso the letter of the affirmative action
po licy have been violated by th e action
taken by the adm ini stra tion in thi s situ ation .
(2) I feel that I ca nn o t in good co n<,cience agree with the deci sio n made by
the majority of th e Trustees and that it

two reasons. First , to distinguish this
assem bly from a forum. Seco'nd, it's an
address, litera lly: I speak to you from
where I stand , at thi s moment.
I cou lun't have spoken to you yesterday. I 'couldn 't have spoken to a nyone
yesterday, I felt so tired , confused, and
despondent. I was tired from accumulated
emo tional strain topped off by three
hours sleep. That's no big problem. What
really bothered me was yesterday's confusion and despondency.
I h ave been confused all along because
there has been right on both sides of the
issue. My co nfusion in this regard probabl y helped stretch the controversy out in
time , and fo r that I offer my regret to
col leagues o n each side of th e issue, people whom I respect , whose usual generous
contrib ut ions to Evergreen cannot but
have been innervated .
I was confused a lso, m o re stunned, by
the brevity of the Tru s tee~' majority staterryent , om ittin g as it did a ny referen ce to
the sp irit o f the affirmative action docu -

a nd bad guys a ttitudes .
The third source of despondency was a
worry a bout COG (Committee on Governance document) , about whether our
modus' operandi, a remarkable one, because both responsive and effective,
whether it would survive the shock of
such a test - the strongest shock to
which it could be subjected, probably,
with a reversal upon appeal.
In sum, yesterday I felt in the midst of
nothing but pieces to pick up. If the
Trustees' decision had gone the other
way , looking at the issues from a comprehensive point of view, as I must, I would
have felt much the same way. The configuration of some of the pieces might have
varied , that's a ll. It was a lose-lose situation. That was yesterday.
Today I feel more confident. Maybe
ow ing to the good night's sleep, maybe
even to the Great Geoduck's having been
nea rby . I don 't think I'm kidding myself
when I feel that we're still one organism.
We've got big pains ; it hurts; but we're
C ooper Point Journal

... Everybody looks up
still one body. We don't h ave pieces to
pick up. We've got lessons to learn about
how to preserve and build our values and
actions to take from having learned those
lessons.
I don't claim to have learned all the lesso ns yet, but here's what I have learned :
Much of my confidence comes from reflection upon t he test of the COG procedures. In spite of my emotional involvement with issues on both sides, my heart
fairly burst with pride as I watched the
hearing board do its work, and as I listened to further information when its deliberations came to light during the Trustees' hearing. With regard to the Trustees,
I'm convinced that virtually to a person,
they would rather not have had the hearing, but they took on that onerOllS task as
one required of th e m b y the COG document.
I m e ntion ed ear li er h av in g been
numbed by the terseness of their sta tement. My first reaction was confusion, in
that they did no t speak to issues clearly
remaining, such as those dealing with the
spirit of the affirmative action document.
Upon reflection I see that for them to
speak to those issues would involve them
in internal affairs to a degree that in the
past th ey hav e very consciously refrained
from. I think th a t stance over the years
has been proper, but it must be said, to
their credit - given the kind of place Evergreen is - it has been downright courageous. So in thi s case the problems are
left with us , and we' re going to solve
them.
The- second lesson I've learned has to
do with the problem left with us by the
Trustees. While I fervently hope that our
internal procedures do not ge t bound up
in lega lities, . that we can remain flexible ,
the fact remains that for the spirit of affirmative action to become h abi tual with
us , th ere must be enough procedural clarity in the document so th a t the spirit does
become habit.
The third lesson I've learned is that we
mu st come to grips with that fuzzie r issue,
but no less criti ca l to Evergreen , the one I
mentioned in connection with yesterday's
despondency - the good guys , bad guys
sy ndrome.
We do hav e lWO types here at Evergreen . One type reads, talk s, conjectures,
tends in certa in cases to give st udents and
March 6, 1975

familiars the benefit of doubt, works on a
variety of group and individual senses of
time. The other type works to a strict
clock, that of the business and governmental world outside Evergreen with
which it must interface. ' It can give little
benefit of doubt. Dollars, space and actions must be documented and accounted
for. At their best, both types are imaginative, flexible, getting the most out of what
we've been giv~n. At their worst, both
types can be reactive. Fortunately Evergreen has been blessed with more than the
usual share of the best of both types; we
wouldn 't be where we are without each.
But over the years, coming to a head in
thi s confrontation, under the cloak of
community (sometimes a reality, sometimes on ly a word) a certain divisiveness
has built up in each type . At its worst it
approaches snobbery. Snobs are fools .
Evergreen must continue to have a lesser
proportion of them than found in the general population. More seriously, as the
grievance issue built to a head, I began to
see an ugly thing happen - only very
occasionally, but still a cause for grave
concern: WhEm one type would speak of
someone on the opposing side who happened to be also of the other type, and especially when race or sex was also involved, the snobbery took on, in the form
of a glint in the eye, a twist in the voice,
the ugly aspect hate .
We must deal with this . We cannot permit this to happen . We can do without
the worst of each type, but we must have
both . If we do nol have the best of both,
the reality is - Evergreen would not. will
not exist.
We must each search our consciences:
what have we contributed to Evergreen in
our righteousness, or in our having become at moments caricatures of our type?
These a re the three lessons I've learned .
I'm sure there are more to be learned . We
must do so, and then act on our knowledge without delay.
(Charge to Advisory Group) - Read
"Because of the serious nature of recent
events I urgently ask that you (addresses

have agreed to invest yet more of their
energies between Monday and Wednesday, so that even while we're developing

Trustees' Statement / McCann's Speech
Statement of the Board of Trustees,
Feb. 26, 1975
This matter came before the Board for
review based upon an appeal filed by
Dean Clabaugh from a decision rendered
by the Campus Hearing Board involving
the adjustment of certain job positions at
The Evergreen State College.
The Board has considered the reco rd
made before the Cam pus Hearing Board
a nd has considered the further testimo ny
offered and arguments of the parties and
has determined th a t it w ill reverse the decision of the Campus Hearing Board and
reinstate the decision of the Administrative Vice President. The Board is of the
op inion tha t the action by the Administrative Vice President was within' his authority as one of the chief administrative officials of the college and that nothing illegal
was involved in the managem ent decision
made.
The Board is of the further opinion that

would constitute a grave error were 1 to
so agree.
(3) I believe in this instance that Evergreen's affirmative action and equal opportunity policy has been dealt a severe
blow but hopefully this confrontation will
serve a useful purpose by alleviating problems of this sort in the future and I shaH
continue to work toward that end.
Thomas Dixon
President McCann's
Address to Community
Friday, February 28, 1975
3 p.m. - Lecture Hall #1:
I would like to address you for a few
minutes on what I perceive Evergreen's
co ndition to be in the wake of a quarterlong controversy which included, for the
first time in Evergreen 's four years' history , a use of our entire grievance procedure.
I use the word address intentionally for

ment. After some rest, however, upon
mulling over the Trustees' brevity, I had
some more positive second thoughts to
which I'll return in a few moments .
My despondency yesterday arose, so
far as I could sort things out, from three
sources. The first was, that apart from the
civility of the formal aspects of the grievance process I sensed in both sides, both
near the center and around the fringes,
divisiveness a nd anger - a good guys
and bad guys attitude . The second source
of despondency was a feeling that somehow, in sOIl)e not very clearly definable
way, so mething had come to a head that's
been building around here for a long
time . We talk , even gas, about "community ." The reality is that there are "academic" types and "business" types. I've
put quotation marks around both those
words. Each type does different things
and speaks separate languages. And from
that seems to arise some of the good guys

He looks up ...
the decision of the Campus Hearing Board
reflects not the legal it y or illega lity of the
act ion but a different management judgment which could have been made under
the circumstances.
The majority of the Board has thus
signed this decision which shall become
effective February 26, 1975 .
Ha lvor M. Halvorson
Janet P. Tourtellotte
Trueman L. Schmidt
H. D. Hadley
The Chairman of the Board respectfully
d issen ts from the decision of the majority
for the following reasons:
(1) It is my be lief th at no t o nl y the
sp irit of the aff irm at ive action policy but
a lso the letter of the affirmative action
po licy have been violated by th e action
taken by the adm ini stra tion in thi s situ ation .
(2) I feel that I ca nn o t in good co n<,cience agree with the deci sio n made by
the majority of th e Trustees and that it

two reasons. First , to distinguish this
assem bly from a forum. Seco'nd, it's an
address, litera lly: I speak to you from
where I stand , at thi s moment.
I cou lun't have spoken to you yesterday. I 'couldn 't have spoken to a nyone
yesterday, I felt so tired , confused, and
despondent. I was tired from accumulated
emo tional strain topped off by three
hours sleep. That's no big problem. What
really bothered me was yesterday's confusion and despondency.
I h ave been confused all along because
there has been right on both sides of the
issue. My co nfusion in this regard probabl y helped stretch the controversy out in
time , and fo r that I offer my regret to
col leagues o n each side of th e issue, people whom I respect , whose usual generous
contrib ut ions to Evergreen cannot but
have been innervated .
I was confused a lso, m o re stunned, by
the brevity of the Tru s tee~' majority staterryent , om ittin g as it did a ny referen ce to
the sp irit o f the affirmative action docu -

a nd bad guys a ttitudes .
The third source of despondency was a
worry a bout COG (Committee on Governance document) , about whether our
modus' operandi, a remarkable one, because both responsive and effective,
whether it would survive the shock of
such a test - the strongest shock to
which it could be subjected, probably,
with a reversal upon appeal.
In sum, yesterday I felt in the midst of
nothing but pieces to pick up. If the
Trustees' decision had gone the other
way , looking at the issues from a comprehensive point of view, as I must, I would
have felt much the same way. The configuration of some of the pieces might have
varied , that's a ll. It was a lose-lose situation. That was yesterday.
Today I feel more confident. Maybe
ow ing to the good night's sleep, maybe
even to the Great Geoduck's having been
nea rby . I don 't think I'm kidding myself
when I feel that we're still one organism.
We've got big pains ; it hurts; but we're
C ooper Point Journal

... Everybody looks up
still one body. We don't h ave pieces to
pick up. We've got lessons to learn about
how to preserve and build our values and
actions to take from having learned those
lessons.
I don't claim to have learned all the lesso ns yet, but here's what I have learned :
Much of my confidence comes from reflection upon t he test of the COG procedures. In spite of my emotional involvement with issues on both sides, my heart
fairly burst with pride as I watched the
hearing board do its work, and as I listened to further information when its deliberations came to light during the Trustees' hearing. With regard to the Trustees,
I'm convinced that virtually to a person,
they would rather not have had the hearing, but they took on that onerOllS task as
one required of th e m b y the COG document.
I m e ntion ed ear li er h av in g been
numbed by the terseness of their sta tement. My first reaction was confusion, in
that they did no t speak to issues clearly
remaining, such as those dealing with the
spirit of the affirmative action document.
Upon reflection I see that for them to
speak to those issues would involve them
in internal affairs to a degree that in the
past th ey hav e very consciously refrained
from. I think th a t stance over the years
has been proper, but it must be said, to
their credit - given the kind of place Evergreen is - it has been downright courageous. So in thi s case the problems are
left with us , and we' re going to solve
them.
The- second lesson I've learned has to
do with the problem left with us by the
Trustees. While I fervently hope that our
internal procedures do not ge t bound up
in lega lities, . that we can remain flexible ,
the fact remains that for the spirit of affirmative action to become h abi tual with
us , th ere must be enough procedural clarity in the document so th a t the spirit does
become habit.
The third lesson I've learned is that we
mu st come to grips with that fuzzie r issue,
but no less criti ca l to Evergreen , the one I
mentioned in connection with yesterday's
despondency - the good guys , bad guys
sy ndrome.
We do hav e lWO types here at Evergreen . One type reads, talk s, conjectures,
tends in certa in cases to give st udents and
March 6, 1975

familiars the benefit of doubt, works on a
variety of group and individual senses of
time. The other type works to a strict
clock, that of the business and governmental world outside Evergreen with
which it must interface. ' It can give little
benefit of doubt. Dollars, space and actions must be documented and accounted
for. At their best, both types are imaginative, flexible, getting the most out of what
we've been giv~n. At their worst, both
types can be reactive. Fortunately Evergreen has been blessed with more than the
usual share of the best of both types; we
wouldn 't be where we are without each.
But over the years, coming to a head in
thi s confrontation, under the cloak of
community (sometimes a reality, sometimes on ly a word) a certain divisiveness
has built up in each type . At its worst it
approaches snobbery. Snobs are fools .
Evergreen must continue to have a lesser
proportion of them than found in the general population. More seriously, as the
grievance issue built to a head, I began to
see an ugly thing happen - only very
occasionally, but still a cause for grave
concern: WhEm one type would speak of
someone on the opposing side who happened to be also of the other type, and especially when race or sex was also involved, the snobbery took on, in the form
of a glint in the eye, a twist in the voice,
the ugly aspect hate .
We must deal with this . We cannot permit this to happen . We can do without
the worst of each type, but we must have
both . If we do nol have the best of both,
the reality is - Evergreen would not. will
not exist.
We must each search our consciences:
what have we contributed to Evergreen in
our righteousness, or in our having become at moments caricatures of our type?
These a re the three lessons I've learned .
I'm sure there are more to be learned . We
must do so, and then act on our knowledge without delay.
(Charge to Advisory Group) - Read
"Because of the serious nature of recent
events I urgently ask that you (addresses
of 2 / 28 / 75 memo) set aside commitments
a nd responsibilities on Monday, March 3,
to meet as a special advisory group to
me . I ask that you consider the implicalions of the recent action of the Board of
Trustees 011 the Clabaugh I Moss appeal

relative to the well being of the people
and processes that constitute Evergreen.
In particular, I direct your attention to its
implications 'for the decision-making
process, our governance system, and our
human rights document in the context of
perhaps necessarily differing administrative and management styles.
"I have charged Ed Kormondy to convene the group Monday , March 3 at 8: 30
a.m. at the Tyee Motor Inn and to arrange for the group's report in open
forum on Wednesday, March 5 at 1 p.m .
in the second floor lobby of the library.
"Prior to the meeting I request that you
carefully review the Social Contract (a
copy of which is in the current catalog) ,
the COG and Human Rights documents.
If you need copies of any of these documents , Rita (McCann's secreta ry) ha s
them."
Some of you may be disappointed that
I have called this meeting as an address
instead of as a forum. I hope you remem ber my usual willingness, sometimes even
p leasure, in discussing matters with anyone in open sessions. The gravity of thi s
issue, however, called for two things: you
deserve to hear what I think, but you also
deserve to hear my considered thought.
not off-the-top-of-the head stuff . (More
co nversation on the matter when group
finishes its work.)
In November to the Governor a nd his
sta ff, and again a month ago to the Ways
and Means Committee of the House of
Representatives, I reported on the specific ,
many, and considerable achievements of
Evergreen faculty and students, a nd of
staff .in all divisions of the college. I
summed up your achievements by saying
that, in Evergreen , Washington possessed
the finest publicly-supported ~llege in
the United States. I believed it then ; I believe it now.
I'm grateful to those Evergreeners who
have agreed to invest yet more of their
energies between Monday and Wednesday, so that even while we're developing
curriculum, working witl'l the budget, the
legislature, recruiting st udents and faculty
we can strengthen our habit and spirit
w ith regard to affirmative action and all
our operating documents, and build our
working relationships with each other, to
cement and enhance ~ll of the values that
have made us what we are .

Wrong direction
To the Editor:
I am very discouraged with the direction the Cooper Point Journal has taken
during winter quarter . The latest "letter
from the future" has . greatly reinforced
this dissatisfaction.
The editors of this letter should dis'" tinguish between time periods when they
assert that "(t)he Cooper Point Journal
has been a caterpillar that has slunk
a round the Evergreen community munching up energy, but producing very
little. It bloated itself up and took itself
very seriously - everything was seen as a
pqtential m e~ l. "
If the above quote is in reference to the
devolution of the Cooper Point Journal
this winter and the proposed continuation
of this devolution in the spring (as described in "A Letter from the Future")' it
is indeed accura te . Less and less space in
the paper is devoted to well researched
a nd in-depth discu ss ion of important
co mmunity iss ue s, and tho se articles
which do dea l.with community issues are
brief and / or inaccura te (for example, the
recent article on the Environmental Impact Statement DTF) . Instead, more
paper is' just wasted on photo essays,
poetry, and ' ''cultural discussion, " such as
the " Construction " centerpiece in the Feb .
27 issue. Money seems to be wasted on
co lor printing in o rder to enhance the
"cultural" qua lity of the paper. The paper
is beco ming filled with more ads, wasted
space, pictures, and less political discussion .
The tone , attitude, a nd substance of the
Cooper Point Journal was considerably
different in the fall. During that period,
the edit ors and staff were very serio us
and intent .upon their purpose - that is,
to produ'ce a n accura te, newsworthy, a nd
political paper. As a result the articles in
the Journ al were well researched , in -depth
and relevan t to com munity issues. Such
journa li sm was (and is) needed to inform
the comm unit y of ca mpus a nd o utside politi ca l issues. It served to enco urage input ,
co nsultation, a nd discussio n abo ut those
issues, which is espec ia lly importa[lt at
Evergreen where the govern ance proced ure:; depend upo n comm unit y input and
co nsultatio n, and it helped to genera te informa ti on and know ledge throughout the
community .
During th e winter the ed it ors of the
Journa l have d isregarded th e po li tica l and
informational purposl' o~ th e paper. In"tl'ad the paper has become less serious
('oopl'r Point Journal

and constructive. It has turned in the direction of cultural features , while dismissing its legitimate activist and informational role. Such is the destructive result
of the birth of the butterfly as presented
in "A Letter from the Future ."
Spider Burbank

This quarter's issues of the Cooper
Point Journal are not the twin siblings of
next quarter's issues. They aren 't related
at all in fact - they've only just met . To
clear up a couple of your objections advertisers pay for color so your mon ey
is not being wasted - and there will be
no photo essays in the future . Wh en you
say "the editors" you should be aware
that there have been three managing editors this quarter and the new one has
only just taken office - and will continue
next quarter. The news and culture sections will also have different editors next
quarter.

We're not all needy
To the Editor:
Of the issues raised at the rally o n Friday, Feb . 28, I have some reservations
about the logic and wisdom of the propo~ed actions to fight tuition increases . I
realize that I am looking at the situation
through the "blinders" of a less than idealistic practicality, but feel that this viewpoint ought to be more fully examined before we rush off to take action.
The logic of opposition to tuition increases seems to be that we are the workers, the unemployed, the Third World,
the -veterans, etc. who are oppressed by
the system and who are most hurt by inflation. We didn't cause this inflation, so
we should be exempted from its effects .
Furthermore, the State of WaShington as
a creation of the capitalists can, if it is
pressed hard enough, come up with the
money some other way if we convince
them that we won 't pay.
As to the first count , most of us have
probably worked or are working, a nd a
number of us a re on fixed incomes or
from oppressive backgrounds. A great
many of us, probably a majority in my
estimate, come , all th e same, from middle ,
upper middle cl ass , and wealthy backgrounds. Many of us who are in this
group do work , but mainly to avoid dependence o n parents who co uld support
us in a pinch if needed, and if we valued
our pride and individuality (perhaps a liena tio n?) a bit less. This situation is reflected in the fact tha t Evergreen has no
tro uble finding o ut -of-sta te stu dents will ing to pay non -resident tu itio n , the fac t
that Bellevue, Mercer Island, a nd Lakeside
grad uates a re represen ted here in grea ter
number th a n O lyr.1pia grad uates, a nd the
March 6, 1975

large n'.lmber of students who are legally
emancipated from their parents in order
to gain financial aid.
If what we are really asking for is aid
• to those who could not afford a' tuiti on
hike, then I think that we should make a
positive proposal that does just that, not
lumping the rich and the struggling together as equally deserving . Such a proposal would be exemption from tuiti on in creases for students of low income families, Third World, veterans, etc. (or even
a tuition reduction). These groups are no t
all tha t numerous, and the cost of such a
proposal would not be as grea t. It woul d
have the further advantage of income redistribution in favor of the poorer student
as well .
Finally, I'm disappointed in the tact ics
used in propagandizing on this issue. It is
certainly nice to be hailed as a n oppressed
mass member who deserves a su bsidi zed

educa tion so that if I were from a working class backgro und I could afford it. I
however, a m not , a great many of us are
not, in thi s situatio n, a nd to enco urage us
to pretend that we are smacks of the kind
of overs impl ifica tions used by governments to ga in pop ular support more than
it shou ld a group dedicated to political
.malysi s and oppositio n to government
deception . OUf self- in terest , especially if
we are midd le class, is not always likely
to be very revolu tio nary , and I would like
to see more work toward help for those
w ho rea ll y do need it and better ana lysis
abo ut w ho th ey are. If a tuition hike will
prov ide the monev to support more financial a id , and it looks like we can't get it
elsewhe re, then ma ybe we should have
o ne . If the pro.posa l being offered by the
state d oesn' t do enou~h, we should ask
th a t it be changed so It will.

mass member who deserves a su bsidi zed

educa tion so that if I were from a working class backgro und I could afford it. I
however, a m not , a great many of us are
not, in thi s situatio n, a nd to enco urage us
to pretend that we are smacks of the kind
of overs impl ifica tions used by governments to ga in pop ular support more than
it shou ld a group dedicated to political
.malysi s and oppositio n to government
deception . OUf self- in terest , especially if
we are midd le class, is not always likely
to be very revolu tio nary , and I would like
to see more work toward help for those
w ho rea ll y do need it and better ana lysis
abo ut w ho th ey are. If a tuition hike will

Youtz . Youtz felt the Evergreen community was fortunate that the Board of
Trustees did not address the entire issue,
but only stated their decision . Youtz
suggested that the intention of the Board
was to allow McCann and the Evergreen
community to address the rest of the
issue.
The Human Rights document , COG,
and the Social Contract are definitions of
the "Evergreen Myth. " These definitions
can only be viable if they have the
support and belief of the community and
the administration. It is crucial, at this
juncture when the community has begun
to doubt ' these document s, tha t th e
a dministration reaffirm that they are
viable and workable . This reaffirmation
must not come from words as much as
actions .
The role of the Board of Trustees in the
grievance process needs more definit ion.
Since the grievance process is in part a'n
interpretation of the go v erna nce a nd
affirmative action docum e nt s, h aV in g
them play the role they have now in the
grievance procedure gives them too much
of a role in defining the nature of the
Evergreen community.
"Until the Board of Truste~s specifies
the nature of its judicial review in relation
to Hearing Board procedure and decisions, the permanent members of the
Hearing Board feel it will be a waste of
o ur time to accept any more cases," stated
the permanent Hearing Board members in
a Feb. 27 memo to the Board of Trustees .
The permanent Hearing Board members
said the Board has no obligation to hear
all the appeals brought to them. Before
they consider any more cases they want
clarification from the Boar-d on w hat
criter,ia they decide , which cases they will
review, and what functions the Hearing
Board's process and decisions will play in
the Trustees' determinat ions.
\
"With regard to the Trustees, I'm
convinced that virtua lly to a person they
would rather not have had the hearing,
but they took o n that onerous task as one
required of them by the COG document ,"
said McCann in his Feb. 28 address.
There is a contradiction between the
permanent Hearing Board posi tion th at
the Board of Trustees did not have to
take the appeal. and McCann's position.
The community, as well as the Hearing
Board, needs to know the ratio nale the
Trustees will use tQ determine which
appeals they will accept . and the rationale
the Board of Trustees used to decide to
accept Clabaugh's appea l. Members of the
Advisory Group came c lose to a
consensus on the subject of an appeal
procedure for ' the Board of Trustees, the
primary suggestion being that appeals to
the Board of Trustees be on the basis of
technical or procedural gro unds on ly .

How timely is the issue of John Moss!
The Board of Trustees and President
McCann uphold Dean Clabaugh's decision which , to put it mildly, screws over
the students at this campus. It is a blatant
act of sexism and racism by the lack of
support for affirmative action .
Where are the Trustees and McCann's
priorities? Certainly not to the students,
and especially not to Third World students.
Let's take a closer look at Evergreen
and Third World persons. The first thing
which comes to mind is the Non-White
Disappearing Task Force. A good part of
a year was spent on examining Evergreen
and the needs of Third World persons.
The report outlined our needs and how
Evergreen could fulfill them. This document was completed last year, what's
happened to it? It's still sitting on Ed Kormondy's desk to be acted upon .
Thomas Ybarra , the former Executive
Secretary for the Non- White Coalition
produced a plan of action for Evergreen'~
Third World people to fulfill. Why hasn' t
it been implemented? This question exposes several dark corners at Evergreen.
For one, there is an apathetic attitude
among Third World students, faculty and
staff. Why? The reason is the general lack
of recruiting and bringing enough dynamic Third World people. When we examine the Third World faculty , what is
the level of their consciousness?
What are we to think when they pu t
down the "white pig," and then are married or involved with Europeans? Where
do their priorities lie?
Is it any wonder we as Third World
Students lack their support? They trip off
with their European values of education,
trying to design programs for us without
first finding out what we need or want to
learn.
What can we do abo ut the lack ~f
aware Third W o rld facuity , when it is
they who choose our faczulty candida tes?
Students are sti ll den ied the right to
choose who is best to teach them . Is it
any wonder why faculty ineptness is perpetua ted?
The lack of Third World stud ent
support is obvious to those involved with
thp Coa lit io n. Why is there no student
March 6 , 1975

support?
(1.) The disease of apathy.
(2.) The obvious lack of numbers .
The reasons for apathy and lack of numbers seems blatant to me, but perhaps not
to you(?) .
. The Coalition has previously been approached by admissions to help on recruiting Third World students . Their
proposition was not 'a cceptable to us, because of the lack of proper reimbursement
for the expenses involved. We were offered to sell Evergreen to our people because the recruiters (who were white)
were not successful. However, we were
not even offered the reimbursement for
such prostitution, as the white "professional" recruiters were.
Why bring more of our people here to
be used as statistics, and then forgotten?
Once we brought students here, no follow
through procedures were set up for them.
Third World students had no idea who
they could look to for support or where
to go to find out. There are still no Third
World counselors in admissions to give
, ongoing support.
Look around this campus and you see
hippie white America. Where are the
films, books, videotapes, art, curriculum,
workshops, food, etc. which depict our
cultures and help create for us an identity7
Why aren't these resources available in
the library , bookstore and at Saga?
Why is the Executive Secretary position
for the Non -White Coalition still unfilled7
It has been vacated since last October, no
progress has been made in making that an
exempt position, funded at the proper
salary.
Why has McCann relegated us to report
to Ed Kormondy and not himself? Why
has he stalled in dealing with making the
Executive Secretary an exempt position?
T his obviously shows McCann's lack of
concern a nd support of . Third World
people.
What does this say about Evergreen ,
when the president won't actively support
T hird World people and affirmative action?
The Coalition's budget has nearly been
cut in half for the next fiscal year. As a
coa litio n we are merely existing from the
lack of support; are we going to let Dean
Clabaugh a nd President McCann pull ano ther "Jo hn Moss rip-off" on us?

Pete Sinclair, faculty member , has
taken one form of action, a personal one,
to deal with the situation . Sinclair
announced his decision to resign, effective
a year from this June, at the Advisory
Group meeting . Sinclair preluded his
announcement with his own experience
with racism. He suggested that his
resignation would allow his position to be
filled through the affirmative action
process, and aid the college in meeting
affirmative action goals.
Faculty Member Maxine Mimms
suggested to the Advisory Group that
rotation should be considered as one form
of action to take on the issue. Mimms felt
that · McCann's action should possibly
follow the precedent of rotating Dave
Barry from Vice President to faculty , and
rotate Clabaugh into the faculty . Mimms
noted that the campus needed a faculty
member in the business area'.
Youtz suggested that Moss might
consider offering to separate the directorship of the Personnel office from the
directorship of the Auxiliary Services
office. Youtz felt that the controversy and
the campus climate might not present
Moss with a comfortable working climate .
The Advisory Group also discussed the
possibility of forming disapearing task
forces (DTFs) to address several issues.

Starring Milena Dravic
" love , work a nd knowledge are the wellsprings of o ur life. They should also govern it."
- Wilhelm Reich
T his is a sex film . This is a political film. This
is a political sex film. It is a hard film to label
but if one is necessary, an "experimental documentary" might give the slightest hint of what's
inside the beast. WR stands for Wilhelm Reich
and World Revolution , which are, as you know
if you've studied Reich, rather synonymous.
Wilhelm Reich was originally a student of
Freud's in Vienna. He broke with Freud at a
certain point and developed independently a
theory of sexuality that dealt directly with social issues and its base was his own radicalized
form of Marxism. He wanted to liberate humanity from the repressIOn ot its own desires as well
as the economic a nd social oppression of the
capi talist state.
He wrote the book Th e Sexual Revolution, a
term that is now a lmost a cliche. He made indepth studies of human sexual response and was
the originator of a trend that leads down
through Ki nsey and Masters and Johnson .

In his last years, Reich's original psychological orientation had turned into his own version
of biology - a biology that when applied can
supposedly cure, with "orgone energy," just
about everything from cancer to the common
cold . He produced the orgone box which was
designed to soak up orgone energy from the atmosphere. He was arrested as a quack and put
in prison. labeled as mad and a kook his books
were confiscated , banned from further publication, and burned , in a dramatic attempt by the
Food and Drug Administration to clean up what
America digested . Reich died after only a year

meant death for him .
Reich's teachings and life are the take-off
point of the film and the string that ties it all together in a lumpy bundle. It flashes on his wife,
his son, his home, his community, even his barber, to get a view of the total man. Then here
and there we find ourselves in Yugoslavia following the socio-sexual exploits of the woman
who might be called the lead in the film, as she
deals with the repression in her community,
calling on them as her "fellow comrades" to
"fuck freely" - as a couple behind her religiously follows her advice. She wants a "gorgeous" Russian ice skater 50 bad but all he can
talk abouUs the "glorious proletariat" and the
"socialist reality."
It's everywhere -- the revolution is a body
revolution. A Plaster-Castered erection turns
into Joe Stalin, millions of stiff arms hold up
Mao's little red sublimated cock, a woman
makes masturbation art -- a masturbated toy
automatic, a screaming therapy session.
WR is a bizarre plunge into a maelstrom of
sights, ideas and sex. It's an attempted bubble
gum bubble machine - with every pink burst a
new celluloid orgasm, pop, pop, pop.
The tremendous influence of Reich on such
places as Esalen and other examples of the human potential movement is only touched on ,
but the touch is felt. He helped, in an indirect
but very real sense, to make a school like Evergreen possible. We are indebted to him.
The film is well worth seeing. Its unique
blend of images, story, dialogue, factual documentary, and fictional encounter make it a real
mind fondler. Its attacks and praises are sometimes oversimplified and a bit naive, but its
basic consistent stand against Hate and Death
arid for Love and Life give it a core strength
and energy which pull it through with ease.
It is very blantantly a "message" film, and
there's no attempt to hide that. It has a message

Maff_h 6. J975

The box office success of movie thrillers such
as The Towering Inferno and Airport 1975 have
made disast,er epics the favorite medium of profit-minded studio executives . Before producing
their latest film of crisis and despair, The Lo ng
Bus Ride, these executives posed several questions basic to the interests of the average mo vie
v iewer. "Can a story of human despair and
crisis be presented without the tremendou s expense of special effects and trick photography?"
they asked. "Lingering torture and pain is much
more sensational than q 11ick easy deaths. How
can torture be presented tastefully?" "Few v iewers can afford the bills of giant hotels , ocean
cruises, or jet travel. Can we give the public a
disaster they can really identify with 7"
The tragic answer to all of these questions is
the soon-to-be released The Long Bus Ride the
first truly great low budget catastrophe film .
This is the story of a seemingly ordinary Grey hound bus journey from Los Angeles to Seattle,
Without the use of special effects the movie industry is able to put a busload of stars through
one tragedy after another. The audience is given
a movie ch ock-full of long slow to r ture a nd
pain that they can readily identify w ith.
The film is blessed with the performance of
two of the best macho male actors in the business, John Wayne and George C. Scott. W ay n e
plays the bus driver, a man with a p a triotic
sense of duty, striving to meet the tra nsporta tion needs of the country and keep his vehicle
in line with government regulations . Scott plays
the role of the anti-hero determined to smoke
on the bus, loudly proclaiming t h a t he "doesn't
give a damn about regulations or the fee lings of
the other passengers."
Carol l y nley is the leading lady of the film .
She plays a country lass who went to Hollywood to become a star and became disappointed by the perversion behind s tardom. No-w

she is returnin g home to rural Oregon with an
illegitima te bdby o n the way to show for her
efforts in tinsel town. It is lynley who reassures
W ay ne that doing a good jo b is better than rece ivin g fame and glory , She then talks Scott
into g ivi ng up s moking for the sake of unborn
bab ies ,
Of co urse tragedy stri kes her too , When the
bu s is stran ded in a snow storm in the Sierra
Madres Ly nley has a miscarriage. Her life is
saved b y a promising young b lack docto r
played b y actor / a thlete 0. 1. Simpson.
S im pso n is also the hero of a vomiting inciden t ca used by Scott's cheap cigar smoking.
Simpso n, w h o is on the bus because he hasn't
been in m edical pract ice long enough to earn
the money to fly , ends the nausea outb reak
wit h libera l doses of Dramamine.
SurpriSingly e nough , the "has-been queen of
the uglies,' Phy llis D iller, makes h er comeback
in Bus I\ide. Her performance as the slightly intoxicated out spoken a nd eccentric o lder woman
on the bu s may earn her an Oscar nomination
fur best supporti n g act ress. Diller keeps the pace
moving between disa sters with bus - shaking outbreak s s uch as, "Have you ' ever used drugs
yo ung man? ;" " My daughter married a buml"
a nd in a conflict wit h Wayne, " What do you
think this is, a bu s or an a ll te rrain vehicle 7"
The Long Bus Ride is the cumulat ive result of
a lo ng h istory of disaster fi lms da ting from such
classics as the Sinking of tile Titanic. With this
background, a nd a fine cas t o f a ctors not prev iou sly mentio ned (in clu d ing Charlt on Heston,
Ernes t Bo rgni ne, Frank Sina tra, Slim Pickens,
Dom delu ise, and Re x Harrison), it is bound to
be a n o ther success fo r the fi lm executives, directo rs, p roducers, ac tors, a nd th'eatre owners.

ORGASM MYSTERIES

WR - Mysteries
the Organism
Directed by Dusan Makavejev
Starring Milena Dravic
" love , work a nd knowledge are the wellsprings of o ur life. They should also govern it."
- Wilhelm Reich
T his is a sex film . This is a political film. This
is a political sex film. It is a hard film to label
but if one is necessary, an "experimental documentary" might give the slightest hint of what's
inside the beast. WR stands for Wilhelm Reich
and World Revolution , which are, as you know
if you've studied Reich, rather synonymous.
Wilhelm Reich was originally a student of
Freud's in Vienna. He broke with Freud at a
certain point and developed independently a
theory of sexuality that dealt directly with social issues and its base was his own radicalized
form of Marxism. He wanted to liberate humanity from the repressIOn ot its own desires as well
as the economic a nd social oppression of the
capi talist state.
He wrote the book Th e Sexual Revolution, a
term that is now a lmost a cliche. He made indepth studies of human sexual response and was
the originator of a trend that leads down
through Ki nsey and Masters and Johnson .

In his last years, Reich's original psychological orientation had turned into his own version
of biology - a biology that when applied can
supposedly cure, with "orgone energy," just
about everything from cancer to the common
cold . He produced the orgone box which was
designed to soak up orgone energy from the atmosphere. He was arrested as a quack and put

Eugene Roche, Sharon Gans , Valerie Perrine, and John Dehner,
with original musi c by Glenn

by Kurt Vonnegut, this is about
as good a film version as we are
ever likely to get, as it would be
a murderou sly hard book to capture. The large ly inexperienced

a surprising ly good job, and th e
