To the Point:
President Eisenhower once sa id that
education is no t o nly th e mea ns for ea rn ing a living, but for' enl a rging li fe. His
words are especially app ropria te for th ose
who complete college. Your genera l io n's
candor, sensit ivity a nd desire for creative
involvement are hearten in g signs that yo u
will be doing more th a n just earning a li ving.
You are grad uating in a particu lar ly difficult year. Yo u will be faced with many
uncertainties. But the opportunities that
await you are even greater th an the cha llenges . It will indeed be wit hin you r grasp
to en large and enrich life in o ur socie ty .
As you make the decisions that will shape
your co urse and that of yo ur cou ntry, I
hope you w ill keep in mind th at one person can make a difference.
Times have changed great ly sin ce I
went to college. But loo kin g back on
those days in the context of today's
world , I know th a t the same optimi sm
and ho pe I shared with my classmates is
very much a live in yo u today. I wa nt yo u
to know how much I ad mire your enthusiasm and determinati on, a nd how
convinced I am that you will make a difference for America.
I wish each of yo u the sa tisfact io n that
comes from doing your best at so mething
you believe in.

rigan 's wrItmg is the product of several
years of overindulgence in some wierd
substance that none of us are familiar
with (ch o pped-up peyote, mixed with
Drano, would be my guess), it' s certainly
more interes ting than the swill generated
bv EPIC and the Revolutionary Student
B~iga de eve ry week.
Yours, etc. ,
Chuck Albertson

As a member of the Evergreen community I feel that I should speak out. I
realize that "Evergreen Political Information Center" makes a nice acronym but I
feel that the name is a gross misrepresentation. First EPIC tends to be more of an
activist group than a group perating an
information center. Also the
ds
to present only one side 0
y issue
rather than presenting several views as
would be expected from an information
group that is without bias (as the name
would suggest).
Much more important is that EPIC is
using the name of Evergreen and therefore
infers that it is representing the Evergreen
comm unity. As a member of that community that does not agree with much
that is said or done by EPIC I feel that I
am being misrepresented.
I have also spoken with other members
ot the Evergreen community that are displeased being represented by EPIC. I feel
that if EPIC is to remain an activist
group, not as an information group that
presents several sides to an issue and that
does not act as a true representative of a
major poction of the members of the E,vergreen community, it should change its
name to something that better describes
its purpose and membership .
Sincerely,
Norman Gregory

A VISUAL NOTE
MYSTERIOUS ART
T o the Po int:

To the Point:
Dear Outdoor Artists,
don't know who any of you are, but I
_. - 1C5ve-fooking a t your work. Some of the
things I liked, say the pink jointed painting on the end of the Lab building, are already gone. Some things I like are still
around; the stained glass and metal strip
piece in front of the library, the welded
metal sculptures on the path to the parking lot. I hope they will stay for a while,
even forever. Psst! Dear Editor, if you are
listening in, how about a story of this art
and where it came from and what is going
to happen to it?

CHAI, the Jewish students union at Evergreen, supports the boycott of scab lettuce at Saga Foods. We join our brothers
and sisters of MECHA and the Revolu tio na ry Studen ts Brigade in boycotting lettuce purchased a t th e expense of underpaid and undernouri shed farm workers.

We hope the solidarity and mutual understanding shown during our boycott of
scab lettuce will continue, and will help
us to work together for the cause of peace
in the Middle East, and wherever else
people attempt to se ttle their differences
with the unreasoning hatred that leads to
war.

PARKING PROBLEMS
PARALYZE SECURITY
To the Point :
As you are already probably aware, the
Director of Security position is now vacant. This, of course, lessens the staff
'personnel and requires everyone to take
on additional duties and responsibilities.
One of lhe necessary interim measures
we've taken is to temporarily assign some
Security duties to the Parking Forman.
The parking program ha ~ been one of
services and enforcement. Because of the
alteration of duties, we would like· torequest that people please observe the few
regulations that we have to insure orderly
parking and traffic movement. These generally include proper parking in the lots ,
no parking in the loading zones and not
obstructing fire lanes and service areas.
The other "major facet of parking is assistance which includes vehicle starts, car
unlocks and minor mechanical aid. These
will be performed as personnel availability permits.
.
I guess I should also take this opportunity to advise Evergreeners that it doesn 't
appear that the Parking Foreman position
will be funded next year. This creates a
lot of frustration for us in the Security
;Office as we have enjoyed having
someone available to respond to people
needing assistance in the area of parking
and traffic for the last two years. The
Parking Foreman averages about 30
assists a week that range from vehicle
starts to large scale parking coordination
and facilitation for special events and
groups, visiting campus. He has also taken
. the "on top of things" posture that has
made enforcement. when ' necessary, as
consistent, fair and uniform as possible .
It is an unfortunate reality that with the '
pending elim ination of this positiof), we
can probably expect the hit -and-miss enforcement and assistance that prevailed
before the Parking Foreman position was
filled. This is the same kind of inconsistency - due to staff level - that created
non - uniformity and the resu lting a llegations of discrimination in enforcement.
This also often resulted in people, who
. could ill afford it , being forced to call for
car start service and other assistance from
downtown.

This is beginning to sound grim but I
feel it was only fair and necessary to say,
so that folks with car problems and special parking needs next year would perhaps be aware of our pending limitations.

THANKS FROM TWBF
To the Point:
The Third World Bicentennial Forum
Commit tee would li ke to thank York
Wong and a ll the Evergreen students, faculty and staff members who helped us
during and before the FORUM . Without
your imaginations, time and efforts, this
immense task could never have been accomplished .
with love and respect,
Jane Gorai, spokesperson for
TWBF Work Committee

PSYCHEDELIC
CELEBRATION
To the Point:
A quiet, rarely identified anniversary
finds itself hidden amidst the folds of the
calendar as any unofficial day in its patent
form, standardized type (unless unduly
personified as those days fortunate
enough to fall on Sunday) would. Passed
only by word of mouth, passed over by
god and country, May 2, has become as
fond a day to the hearts of those who
were between the age of 12 and 18 in
1968 and still remember Moody Blues
lyril=s as the Fourth of July is to those
who love America - the comparison no
accident.
celebrant - wow.
flower - yes, we all are aren't we .
grass - if each of us was a flowertop .. .
celebrant - Whoa ... (specifically articulated variation)
Though I only had chance to speak
with one of the happy holidayers - I
sensed a feeling of courage and optimism,
albeit the kind that could be gone by
morning . And I knew, although there
were places where people were burning,
children starving, cars colliding and scab
lettuce being sold; there were also places
where people were laughing, living modestly, bothering none, and there were
these acid-eyed celebrants who were
happy and just enjoying the night.

appear that the Parking Foreman position
will be funded next year. This creates a
lot of frustration for us in the Security
;Office as we have enjoyed having
someone available to respond to people
needing assistance in the area of parking
and traffic for the last two years. The
Parking Foreman averages about 30
assists a week that range from vehicle
starts to large scale parking coordination
and facilitation for special events and
groups, visiting campus. He has also taken
. the "on top of things" posture that has
made enforcement. when ' necessary, as
consistent, fair and uniform as possible .
It is an unfortunate reality that with the '
pending elim ination of this positiof), we
can probably expect the hit -and-miss enforcement and assistance that prevailed
before the Parking Foreman position was
filled. This is the same kind of inconsistency - due to staff level - that created
non - uniformity and the resu lting a llegations of discrimination in enforcement.
This also often resulted in people, who
. could ill afford it , being forced to call for
car start service and other assistance from
downtown.

This is beginning to sound grim but I
feel it was only fair and necessary to say,
so that folks with car problems and special parking needs next year would perhaps be aware of our pending limitations.

THANKS FROM TWBF
To the Point:
The Third World Bicentennial Forum
Commit tee would li ke to thank York
Wong and a ll the Evergreen students, faculty and staff members who helped us
during and before the FORUM . Without
your imaginations, time and efforts, this
immense task could never have been accomplished .
with love and respect,
Jane Gorai, spokesperson for
TWBF Work Committee

PSYCHEDELIC
CELEBRATION
To the Point:
A quiet, rarely identified anniversary
finds itself hidden amidst the folds of the
calendar as any unofficial day in its patent
form, standardized type (unless unduly
personified as those days fortunate
enough to fall on Sunday) would. Passed
only by word of mouth, passed over by
god and country, May 2, has become as
fond a day to the hearts of those who
were between the age of 12 and 18 in
1968 and still remember Moody Blues
lyril=s as the Fourth of July is to those
who love America - the comparison no
accident.
celebrant - wow.
flower - yes, we all are aren't we .
grass - if each of us was a flowertop .. .
celebrant - Whoa ... (specifically articulated variation)
Though I only had chance to speak
with one of the happy holidayers - I
sensed a feeling of courage and optimism,
albeit the kind that could be gone by
morning . And I knew, although there
were places where people were burning,
children starving, cars colliding and scab
lettuce being sold; there were also places
where people were laughing, living modestly, bothering none, and there were
these acid-eyed celebrants who were
happy and just enjoying the night.

MECHANICAL PEGASUS
In an effort to test the feasibility of
alternative energy sources, five Evergreen
students are currently working on a
"producer gas generation project," which
will allow a .1946 Ford pick-up truck to
operate using scrap wood generated gases
as fuel.
The five students are Dan Blincow, and
Michael Momany who are working under
contract to Bob Filmer, and Eldon Brown,
John Burnell and Don Samuelson of the
Humane Technospheres coordinated
studies program .
Initial planning for the project began
last fall when Blincow and Momany were
searching for a project to continue as a
part of their work within the Humane
Technospheres program , which they later
dropped in favor of individual contracts.
This enabled them to apply all of their
energies to the project without interference from other program activities.
The actual construction began approximately one month into winter quarter,
and will continu through the end of
spring quarter . The project is a modification and practical d evelopment of a
design included in a 1974 book, The
Pegasu s Unit, publi shed b.y faculty
members Niels Sko v a nd Ma rk Pa pworth.
Pegasus is an acron ym for petro leum /
p.<1 'io lin f' ,,,,hstitut e sys tPl11 s . whi ch wp r e

used by the Germans during .World War
Two when petroleum and its derivatives
were scarce.
The cost of the project, to date, has
been $600, and monies for the project
were bu<;lgeted from the Humane Te~hno­
spheres program and last years' Environmental Design program. Costs have been
kept to a minimum by the use of
scrounged materials such as old water
heating tanks and sheet metal for the
construction of the unit.
The truck will be fueled by vapors
driven from scrap wood that is gassified
in the Pegasus burning unit and filtered
and cooled in other sections of the entire
unit.
. With such large amounts of scrap wood
available for use as Pegasus fuel, it
seemed to the students that use of this
wood could be an alternative energy
source in li'ght of current and future
shortages of petroleum products.
If the projec.t ;5 ~tlccessfuL the students
hope to obtain a grant that would permit
them to build a Pegasus unit next year
th a t would be used to fire kilns in use at
Evergreen and wo~ld also enable them tp
research the possibilities of the application
of Pegasus technology to industrial fuel

In respons~ to the school levy failures
in King County, between four and six
thousand Seattle teachers, parents and students rallied on the capitol steps Tuesday
to demand funding for Washington 's public schools . The rally was a last effort to
pressure the legislature for school funding
before Seattle teachers go on strike next
Friday.
This was the third such demonstration
at the capitol in three weeks. On April
22 , 5,000 high schoo l students' made
themselves heard, and five days afterward
8,000 of their teachers chanted "save our
schools" at a Washington Education Association (WEA) sponsored rall y on the
capitol steps.
School levies, which must be approved
by voters, are a specia l form of property
tax that pays for much of the public
schools' operating costs. The rallies are
the result of widespread voter rejection of
the school levies at elections which took
place April 8. While levies passed in the
Olympia and North Thurston School Districts, the levy failure was the largest in
Washington's history . Tumwater's school
levy was one that failed , forcing 28 teachers to be laid off at the end of this school
year.
The levy failures , voted at a time when
few Washingtonians can afford hi gh ~ r
taxes, wi ll , accord ing to the WEA , r.esult
in the firing of approximately 5,000 public
school employees across the state . In Seattle a lone, 1,670 teachers and administra tors have already received lay -off notices.

quality of education in Seattle. The strike
authorization gives the Seattle Teachers
Association's 28 member executive committee the power to call a strike when it
decides that the legislature is not acting
adequately on state funding. Such a strike
is planned for Friday, and is supported by
the Seattle Parents, Teachers, and Students Association (PTSA). The Seattle
Teachers Association, an affiliate of the
WEA, represents 4,700 teachers, secretaries, aides, and nurses.
At first, the legislature chose not to act
on state funding until August or September. Some teachers suggested that the
legislature's plan was to wait until school
was out, so students and teachers could
do nothing. Now, however, they are offering a 50 to 60 percent emergency levy
relief to keep schools open for another six
months.
Gov. Evans has other plans to fund the
schools. In a speech to a joint session of
the legislature on April 21, Evans called
for a 10 percent increase in the business
and occupation tax, (generally, 44 percent
of sales at present), a 10 percent surcharge
on utilities, and an' addi tion of .6 percent
to Washington's sales tax, raising sales tax
in Thurston County from 5 percent to 5 .6
percent.

If Evans' proposal is approved, Seattle
schools will still lose more than 1 000
teachers and staff, and no teachers will receive salary increases .
As voters have been constantly battling
to end the levy system of school funding ,
the legislature will attempt to create an income tax that will make school levies no
longer necessary. The legislature has attempted to institute an income tax twice
before, but" it has been defeated by Washington's voters because, as one teacher
put it, "It taxed those of us making under
$12,000 more than it did the rich."
vther Seattle organizations have been
outspoken in their demands on the levy
issue. T . J. Vasser, education director for
the Seattle Urban League, stated, "We are
very much concerned that the tax burden
not be placed on the little man . . . The
little man and the poor already pay a disproportionate share."
The Seattle Socialist Workers Party,
whose members have been leafleting at
the rallies, states on their educational materials, "Let's vote on the 100 billion war
budget - not our children's education.
Tax Boeing, Weyerhaeuser, N . W. Bell,
and other big corporations making super
profits."
The ,NAACP is sponsoring a march
and rally in Seattle on May 17. Their leaflet states, "Regardless of race, creed, or
color, all people should have access to
quality education."
Tuesday, black and white Seattle teachers voiced the same opinion. Commenting
on the legislature's offer, one teacher said,
"Fifty percent is not enough. If that's all
we get. we'll be forced to strike."

MUSHROOMS
Four students were hospitalized last
Thursday, May 1. after ingesting mushrooms in the amanita pantheria strain.
The mushrooms had been so ld as
psychadelics. The poisoned victims were
in the intensive care unit for most of the

and private agencies and six graduate
schools will be on campus for the
conference .
All of the representatives will act as
career advisors throughout the day . The
morning ,session of the conference will
provide students an opportunity to ask
questions about their particular career
interest, according to Gail Martin,
Placement Advisor.
The afternoon session w ill provide

INDIANS HOLD SPIRITUAL CAMP
AMOTTKN KAS-ES-CHN-ME A
newly formed, all Indian spiritual encampment will be holding a traditional Indian
spiritual gathering. Beginning at sunrise,
Tues ., May 13, and lasting 12 days this
gathering will provide Indian people from
all tribes and all walks of life with an opportunity to learn from their Medicine
Men and spiritual leaders. Here they will
learn about their traditional ceremonies
and religious beliefs and how to prepare
themselves spiritually to carry on and
maintain their traditional way of life.
AMOTTKN KAS-ES-CHN-ME came
into being for essentially the same reasons
as spiritua! gatherings. Many Indian people coming out of prisons, BIA boarding
schools, state institutes and off the city
streets, have forgotten what it means to
be Indian. They have no direction and no
purpose with which to live. Their existence becomes a trap; from state institute
to the street and back again, constantly
having to deal with alcoholism, drug
abuse and disease as well as mental. spiritual and physical oppression.
It is imperative at this time that the
Jat~ering remain strictly Indian, so that
-Indian people may better provide for
themselves.

VETERAN STORY CORRECTEU
Here is some new information on
summer benefits for veterans:
The only veterans who will lose August
and September benefits are those taking
only a 2 unit program which ends July 28.
Any veterans who register for at least 3
units of credit, thus going to school into
August, will receive full benefits for
August and September if continuously
certified through fall quarter.
Veterans enrolled i'n summer classes
which end before August should in order
to receive August and September benefits,
draw up an individual contract extending ,
until at least August 13.

INDIANS HOLD SPIRITUAL CAMP
AMOTTKN KAS-ES-CHN-ME A
newly formed, all Indian spiritual encampment will be holding a traditional Indian
spiritual gathering. Beginning at sunrise,
Tues ., May 13, and lasting 12 days this
gathering will provide Indian people from
all tribes and all walks of life with an opportunity to learn from their Medicine
Men and spiritual leaders. Here they will
learn about their traditional ceremonies
and religious beliefs and how to prepare
themselves spiritually to carry on and
maintain their traditional way of life.
AMOTTKN KAS-ES-CHN-ME came
into being for essentially the same reasons
as spiritua! gatherings. Many Indian people coming out of prisons, BIA boarding
schools, state institutes and off the city
streets, have forgotten what it means to
be Indian. They have no direction and no
purpose with which to live. Their existence becomes a trap; from state institute
to the street and back again, constantly
having to deal with alcoholism, drug
abuse and disease as well as mental. spiritual and physical oppression.
It is imperative at this time that the
Jat~ering remain strictly Indian, so that
-Indian people may better provide for
themselves.

Two weeks ago the Secret Service was
on campus investiga ting an apparent illegal reproduction of postage stamps by the
college print shop . In · a meeting with the
faculty, administrators, and print shop
workers involved in the incident , the SS
agent asked several probing questions to
determine who was actually respo nsible
fo r the printing. Facing possible cha rges
of 15 years in jail a nd $15,000 fin es each,
for mail fraud , mak ing the plate, and' reproducing the counterfeit stamps, those in
the meeting responded nervo usly to questions .
And who printed the stamps 7 the SS
agent asked. Before print sho p workers
could respond , Arnold Doerksen, director
of General Services a nd top superv isor for
the print shop , blurted ou t, " Carlos did
it," according to two eyewitness accounts.
Doerksen's information was secondha nd ,
since he was not a witness to the print ing.
"During the whole day they were investigating this thing, it seemed li ke they
were trying to put responsibi lity on me.
Howard should have caught the stamp in
the very beginning, but even he didn't realize it was illegal, " sa id Ga rlos Ortiz, offset duplicator operator fot the pri nt sh op.
"I don't even remember w ho did the
printing. It was just a nother job. Authorized bulk rate stamps are printed a ll the
time."
Ortiz was refused legal counsel by the
school attorney , Richard Monteccuco , in
the meeting, though ad ministrat ive decisio ns representing institutional po li cy
could be defended . Doerksen subseq uently
claimed responsibility rested with Howard
Griffith, print shop superv isor.
Though no thing yet has come from the
investigation, and several adm inistrators
have mentioned th~ whole m a tter was
grossly overemphasized, both Ortiz and
Dan Meier, office assistant in the print
sho p, feel the process of the invest igation
and the respo nses of Doerksen and Griffith , epi tomize many of the problems in
management , personnel relation s, and
supervision of the printi ng services.
No Training
Ortiz a nd Meier cite the absence of
tra ining in equipme nt operation and maintenance, as well as general education in
the printing trade, as the major source of
problems in the shop - especially wi th
Griffit h, w ho they feel is no t qualified to
be in a supervisory capacity.
Rindetta Jones , Affirmative Acti on Officer, indicated there was an explicit agreement with the Personnel Office to provide
Ortiz with trai ning. However, the OYTI
program Ortiz enrolled in to fu lfill this

agreem ent was cancelled and no substitute
has been provided . Howard Griffith, h imself, has said 'Tve never been qualified to
teach anybody - it's not in me to teach .
I know how to run the equipment , bu t
w hen it comes to explain ing it to somebody else . . . "
"Formal tra ining is no t feasible ," acco rding to Doerksen. "We don't have the '
time or money." He went on to exp lain
the fac ili ty provided a t Evergreen is not a
pri nt shop, b ut a copy center. The Evergreen sh op is a uthorized by the state
p rinter fo r duplicating o nl y. " Once you're
set up w ith basics, not mu ch tra in ing or
updating is needed ," Doerksen sa id .
According to the state printer, an offer
was made to the college to be a n affi liate
of the Washington State Department of
Printing about two years ago. This means
the print shop could be staffed by uni on
printers, wou ld coopera te w ith the ot her
copy centers under the state printer to
share work loads and eq uipm ent , and
prov ide fo rmal training as an integra l part
of the service.
It was indicated such a n arrangement
wou ld provide a more flexible and efficient service at a lower cos t. Evergreen
has not accepted the offer, tho ugh the
state printer seems to st ill be open to nego tia ting terms.
Jim Spi vey, a printer for m6re th an ten
years and former coordina tor of prin ting
services who was RIF'd in 1973, explained
some of the background 'of the present
print shop management. He was hired in
1970 to set up .the printing facilities for
the new college, w hich included coordinatio n of all duplicating (offset and Xerox)
and provisions for a "hands-o n" fac ility
to provide' studen ts with experience in
prin ting and publish ing . Before he had a
chance to accompli sh this, however, his
posi tion was eliminated. Doerksen, who
was then purchasing agent, was put in
charge of printing a nd Howard Griffith,
who worked under Spivey, was elevated
to shop supervisor.
Sti ll concerned about the faci lity , especia lly its being in the basement with poor
ventil at ion , lighting a nd space, Spivey
sa id, "It wo uld take m a jor development s
to elevate the p rint shop to the sta tus and
rep ut ation it once had."
Management Problems
Greg Falxa , a former print shop emp loyee, explained one of the reasons he
left the shop was because of management
problems sim il ar to those that now exist.
"On severa l occasions since then , I've
been asked by Arnie (Doerksen) to come
down and get the shop o ut of a bind . I've
always cooperated in hopes th at co ndi-

" I was rather shocked abo ut th e conditi on of some of the equipment. In add ition to finding it poo rl y maintained , it
took me 45 minutes to ge t the ITI:.K pre~s
a rea clea n enough to run the job," Fa lxa
sa id .
Since the sta mp incident , severa l comp la int s surfaced from ind iv idua ls abo ut
the shop's service. Some of these peop le
ad mitted that a ma jor part of the problem
was they were not clear abo ut the limitations ot the shop and we re not versed in
proper preparation of copy. Th is type of
customer educa'tio n is offered to the degree th at print shop w orkers happen to be
fam il iar with graph ics terms and techniq ues, but n o direct rela ti onshi p exists

,
Steady , instituti ona l users o t the printing serv ices , such as the Registrar, Admissions, Office of Co llege Relations, President ' s Offic e, and admin i s ~rative vice
presidents, expressed appreciation for the

However , Doerksen revealed that he considers these regu lar customers "big jobs"
a nd assigns them blocks of time in priority to independent, lower <;tatus or "s mall

Peop le who realize that they are relegated to the "small job" category expressed d issatisfaction with the quality
and lack of concern for the time and ene rgy invol ved in preparation . Ortiz
claimed that Griffith "tries to get away
w ith swit ching ITEK p lates (h igher qualit y system') for electrostatic plates. " Howa rd characterized the electrostat and, small
2650 press system as "quick and dirty :"
(The print shop offers to reprint jobs for
dissatisfied cust omers, even tho ugh the
se rvice loses money .)
Doerksen and Griffith have said they
felt the source of most dissa tisfaction
arises from prob lems in scheduling. There
are "crash" periods at the · end of quarters
w h en jobs get backlogged , especially
when "big jobs" li ke the Co llege Supplement are in; and "slack" periods, when
there is barely enough work to keep everybody busy, like t1~ring the summer.
Doerksen saw thi s as inevi table, and said ...
there was lit tle th a t cou ld be done to plan ~

"One of the things that I have in mind
is the manner in which we treat our natural environment here on the North
American territory. I think we can no
longer permit the economic advance of
our country to take place so extensively
at the cost of the devastation of its natural resources and its natural beauty,"
George F. Kennan on American Foreign
Policy, Princeton University, 1954 .
I was born and raised in the north central p:ut of this beautiful state. I have a
high interest in the proposed changes that
may occur in my home valley . .. the
Okanogan. This area of Washington is
fairly remote; it is made up of vast range
and forest land and its <:hief products are
lumber, apples, and cattle. The residents
of my valley have enjoyed a unique and
pleasant life, but this is due to change if
corporate business has its way. Aspen Ski
Corporation is in the process of obtaining
land near Winthrop, Washington in order
to build the largest ski resort in North
America. At present there is no way of
.determining all of the possible social,
economic, and environmental aftereffects
it could, bring to the Methow and Okanogan valleys. Large-scale open pit copper
mining is also being proposed nearby .
Both of these events threaten rapid change
to the existing life styles of the area and
demand vigilant effort by our citizens.
Thorough research and careful land use
planning are required to ensure protection
of the best qualities of the existing
environment. North Central Washington's
future is a "sleeper" at this moment , a
future that may hold many detrimental
changes.
One of the main factors contributing to
the attraction of these corporate investers
was the opening of the Cascades North
Cross State highway . Its construction, the
enlargement of the tourist trade and travel
through the area, was clearly done for
monetary motives, disregarding the preservation of this wild national forest.
The county commissioner from the area ,
is the owner of one of neighboring
Twisp's gas stations and car sales lot. It is
not hard to see why he would advocate
increased tourism. The impact of the
highway would be felt by the residents in
the form of increased taxes for road , medical service, a nd police protection .
During hunting and fishing season the
towns are swamped with transients . The
once a bundant wildlife is rapidly decreasing . The highway has made the area accessible to many people, increasing "the
take" of the town merchants. With heavy
snowfall in the winter, the road is presen tly closed three or four month s of the
yea r. Now with th e proposed ski resort, Ct

is central in the planning to keep it open
all year round as a special service to the
influx of skiers. This will further increase
highway ta xes and load a n even greater
burden on the permanen.t residents.
Money Machine
'.'
In the 1840's Alexis De Tocqueville
foresaw this attitude in Americans: " I
know of no country, indeed , where the
love of money ha s taken stronger ho ld on
the affections of men and where a profounder contempt is expressed for the
theory of the 'permanent equality of property."
This is another example of long term effects and community casts th a t follow in
the wake of decisions made in haste without full access to facts and alternatives,
when economic devel opment with monetary gain for the promoting investers is
the only goal considered. This is not an
isolated incident but one of a continuing
series of incidents in American history
that show how we have slowly but surely
destroyed our natural environment by
turning it into a money making machin e
rather than a quality place to live.

The building of a huge ski resort would
greatly affect the surrounding co untryside . In order to accommodate the large
numbers of sk iers, hotel s and restaurants
would sprout up . Land values a nd taxes
would force out the orchards a nd farm s
on the productive valley floor a nd slopes.
A major airport would be needed to welcome skiers from all parts of the U . S. Bigger highways would have to be built to
handle the hundreds of thousa nds from all
over the world as well as the commuting
sk iers from the western and eas tern parts
of the state.
Such a resort would increase the need
for adequate medic a l and hospital
agencies a nd require increased police personnel. It would increase the amount of
water and electricity usage a nd demand
sufficient sewage facilities. The burden of
these changes would strike the former residents in increased taxes, not on ly in the

"One of the things that I have in mind
is the manner in which we treat our natural environment here on the North
American territory. I think we can no
longer permit the economic advance of
our country to take place so extensively
at the cost of the devastation of its natural resources and its natural beauty,"
George F. Kennan on American Foreign
Policy, Princeton University, 1954 .
I was born and raised in the north central p:ut of this beautiful state. I have a
high interest in the proposed changes that
may occur in my home valley . .. the
Okanogan. This area of Washington is
fairly remote; it is made up of vast range
and forest land and its <:hief products are
lumber, apples, and cattle. The residents
of my valley have enjoyed a unique and
pleasant life, but this is due to change if
corporate business has its way. Aspen Ski
Corporation is in the process of obtaining
land near Winthrop, Washington in order
to build the largest ski resort in North
America. At present there is no way of
.determining all of the possible social,
economic, and environmental aftereffects
it could, bring to the Methow and Okanogan valleys. Large-scale open pit copper
mining is also being proposed nearby .
Both of these events threaten rapid change
to the existing life styles of the area and
demand vigilant effort by our citizens.
Thorough research and careful land use
planning are required to ensure protection
of the best qualities of the existing
environment. North Central Washington's
future is a "sleeper" at this moment , a
future that may hold many detrimental
changes.
One of the main factors contributing to
the attraction of these corporate investers
was the opening of the Cascades North
Cross State highway . Its construction, the
enlargement of the tourist trade and travel
through the area, was clearly done for
monetary motives, disregarding the preservation of this wild national forest.
The county commissioner from the area ,
is the owner of one of neighboring
Twisp's gas stations and car sales lot. It is
not hard to see why he would advocate
increased tourism. The impact of the
highway would be felt by the residents in
the form of increased taxes for road , medical service, a nd police protection .
During hunting and fishing season the
towns are swamped with transients . The
once a bundant wildlife is rapidly decreasing . The highway has made the area accessible to many people, increasing "the
take" of the town merchants. With heavy
snowfall in the winter, the road is presen tly closed three or four month s of the
yea r. Now with th e proposed ski resort, Ct

is central in the planning to keep it open
all year round as a special service to the
influx of skiers. This will further increase
highway ta xes and load a n even greater
burden on the permanen.t residents.
Money Machine
'.'
In the 1840's Alexis De Tocqueville
foresaw this attitude in Americans: " I
know of no country, indeed , where the
love of money ha s taken stronger ho ld on
the affections of men and where a profounder contempt is expressed for the
theory of the 'permanent equality of property."
This is another example of long term effects and community casts th a t follow in
the wake of decisions made in haste without full access to facts and alternatives,
when economic devel opment with monetary gain for the promoting investers is
the only goal considered. This is not an
isolated incident but one of a continuing
series of incidents in American history
that show how we have slowly but surely
destroyed our natural environment by
turning it into a money making machin e
rather than a quality place to live.

The building of a huge ski resort would
greatly affect the surrounding co untryside . In order to accommodate the large
numbers of sk iers, hotel s and restaurants
would sprout up . Land values a nd taxes
would force out the orchards a nd farm s
on the productive valley floor a nd slopes.
A major airport would be needed to welcome skiers from all parts of the U . S. Bigger highways would have to be built to
handle the hundreds of thousa nds from all
over the world as well as the commuting
sk iers from the western and eas tern parts
of the state.
Such a resort would increase the need
for adequate medic a l and hospital
agencies a nd require increased police personnel. It would increase the amount of
water and electricity usage a nd demand
sufficient sewage facilities. The burden of
these changes would strike the former residents in increased taxes, not on ly in the
near area but on both sides of the Cascades.
Okanogan life Over
Living in nea rby Okanog'an, the cha irman of the pla nning commission a lso

Personal Requiem
By TI FLEMING
One of my best friends died last week.
She did not die of a tragic "Hollywood"
malady nor did she slip away quietly. She
died from an overdose of heroin. Horse.
Snow. She cried, ''I'm scared ... " over
and over again until ~he lost consciousness.
She was the seventh of myoid high
school chums to die. We used to cut class
and ramble the streets. of .o~ town, making great plans for our futures. But of the
group, three died in 'Nam, one in a car
accident, another from an OD of speed,
and another I watched helplessly as she
bled to death from a brutaL bungled
abortion.
Now, at 22, I feel as if I've outlived my
generation. In our teenage dreams we
thought we would live forever, do anything we wanted, and exercise independently our joy in being alive. We became
vegetarians, got into Zen, the I Ching,
and Eastern philosophy . We joyously
boycotted a Free Food store when we discovered that they weren't using UFW produce . We denounced Johnson, protested
"the war," and hoped that Bobby Kennedy
would be the next president.
We wanted everything today . If we
couldn't attain them by conventional
means - there were always the chemicals. Your best friend is holding - would
he sell you wrong? "You can have your
dreams today . .. " Faster, higher, better,
.
faster .. . Now.
But now, as I reflect on the deaths of

my friends, I am also seeing the metamorphosis of the "Love Generation." We
grew up, graduated from high school,
went to college, fought in the war we protested, dropped out, conformed to the
new standards of conformity.
Through it all, we grew up, fulfilling
the prophesy that asks if "life is not an
illusion of death." In life, we die a score
of times as we grow from childhood to
teenage to adult.
A rhyme from a wall on Haight Street,
during the Hashbury days :
"Reds and speed, acid and smack,
Enter the tunnel
and you'll never get back . . ."
My friends and I are in that tunnel, not
necessarily one formed of drugs, but
rather one built from our own approaching adulthood . We cannot ever go back to
a world that no longer exists. We cannot
escape time through drugs or reality, but
every time I get a call or letter saying,
"Celia OD'd ... ," "Jon and Mike were
killed in a mortar attack .. . ," "Jaime's
car was mangled on IS . . ." my mind
stops time in freeze - frame sequences.
Smiling long -haired people in front of the
high school. A wistful fellow playing the
flute on a sunlit wall at the UW. Marching in rallies that had serious overtones,
but left us exhilarated with the knowledge
that we'd "done something." And .. .
mainlining heroin in a sunny alley in San
Francisco . Snorting speed at the last
senior dance .
I will never go back.

Recent ly, I was accused of
objective journalism by one of the
Saga picketers who found out I
would be writing this story. Though
there are those I'm sure would
disagree with him, I still take great
pride in this kind of accusation.
However, in covering this story, I
find I can not write objectively . I
feeL in this case, the school is
acting in a way I can not condone.
The farm workers are being
victimized by big business - a sort
of "bonded enterprise." The school
administration is using its entrapment within "the system" to hide
behind the system and say "we
don't take political stands." and
avoid this issue. (Classy, our state
government is apolitical.) Not to act
is to act, to ignore the problem is to
perpetuate its occurring.
Anyway, this is merely to inform
you, if this story seems editorialized, that's because it is.

SCAB - loosely defined, a work
situation that could be unionized and
isn't.
UFW - United Farm Workers, an
attempt by farm laborers to organize and
fight oppressive employers.
Teamsters - a superunion of truckers,
and related occupations, with political
clout matched by few organizations.
SAGA - a food service corporation
with branches reaching who knows how
far? also, a narrative of heroic deeds.
Singing impromptu protest songs and
sporting signs with "Boycott Saga, SCAB
Lettuce," nearly thirty students have spent
hours of 'the last week convincing
would-be food service customers to do
without for the day . As of Tuesday, the
picketers had begun to provide salad/
sandwich fixings as an alternative for
hungry students. Consequently, Saga
business has been"cu t by 25 % .
Evergreen is under contract with Saga
food services to provide the campus with
food for the delicatessen, snack bar and
food plan. The school runs the contract
and mandates the kind of food to be
utilized by Saga - the school has the
power to terminate use of the teamster
lettuce at any time .
The teamsters entrance into the lettuce
grow ing scene is relatively recent,
according to Mexican-Chicano Association (MECHA) member Elena Perez.
When the UFW contracts expired, the
truckers and growers negotiated a
contract ·with a lower worker's pay, no
pesticide co ntrol, no overtime pay,
superficial medical care, and no in-thefield drinking water or outhouses necessary. The former UFW workers, now
being spoken for by a union with
obviously littlf' concern for their welfare,

went on strike,
With that as a grossly oversimplified
history on my part ....
For the past t~o or three years, it has
been a continuing question on the policies
the school should adopt in r~gard to
school operation/Political sympathies.
Members of MECHA as well as other
, organizations have attempted to keep
Evergreen from supporting oppressive
institutions (what else could you call the
growers exploitation of the 'farm work~
ers). But, it appears there has yet to be an
agreement without misinterpretation or
multi-interpretation. (Notably, all agreements have been verbal, thereby leaving
no tangible referral source.)
It would serve to take a break here and
explain two things. One, SCAB defined at
the beginning, is even more loosely used
in the story. Technically, there is a union,
the teamsters, involved in the lettuce
growing. Morally, I think the term is
quite suitable.
Secondly, to dispel a rumor, the
University of Washington does not have a
constant flow of UFW lettuce. According
to UW Housing and Food Services
Director, Art Pringle, they use no UFW
or teamster lettuce. They serve mainly
California leaf lettuce, or local head
lettuce.
Verbal Ag~eements
The controversy has surfaced more
openly this year than. in the past. Protests
At the beginning of the year were quelled
by one of the nC'w infamous verbal
agreements; according to the students
involved it indicated ' UFW lettuce would
be sold whenever available and local or
leaf lettuce when it wasn't. Saga food
service manager Craig McCarty recalled it
as UFW when available, whatever's
available when UFW isn't.

The week of March 8, several persons
notified the school a protest would begin
if the teamster lettuce wasn't removed
from the counters. Moss ordered all head
lettuce removed and on March 13 called
for a Disappearing Task Force (DTF) to
resolve th~ situation. Now, the reults of
that hearing.
From a memo by John Moss, dated
May 1, 1975:
On March 13, 1975, I called II
DTF comprised of 16 people
representing a broad cross segment
of the Evergreen Community. My
charge to that DTF was to survey
the entire campus with regard to
preferences about: [Q) exclusive use
of UFW lettuce, [b) use of UFW
lettuce when it is available and use
of other union and ' non-union
lettuce in the absence of .its
availability, [c) exclusive use of non
UFW lettuce.
The DTF meeting was called for
April 8, at 3 p.m. in 3121 Library,
only two members attended that
DTF meeting. Two had previously
declined membership and one hIlS
since indicated that residence in
Colorado makes attendance impossible.
The hand written report receivfHi
from that DTF meeting in part
stated - "we do not see that a DTF
needs to function Itere."
As responsible authority for the
college food service, . I hereby
i'lstruct you to continue to secure
UFW lettuce when it is llVailable
and otherwise serve non-UFW
lettuce as well as romaine and
other greens--clearly indicating by
means of a sign, placard or other
posting that the lettuce being served

contract ·with a lower worker's pay, no
pesticide co ntrol, no overtime pay,
superficial medical care, and no in-thefield drinking water or outhouses necessary. The former UFW workers, now
being spoken for by a union with
obviously littlf' concern for their welfare,

went on strike,
With that as a grossly oversimplified
history on my part ....
For the past t~o or three years, it has
been a continuing question on the policies
the school should adopt in r~gard to
school operation/Political sympathies.
Members of MECHA as well as other
, organizations have attempted to keep
Evergreen from supporting oppressive
institutions (what else could you call the
growers exploitation of the 'farm work~
ers). But, it appears there has yet to be an
agreement without misinterpretation or
multi-interpretation. (Notably, all agreements have been verbal, thereby leaving
no tangible referral source.)
It would serve to take a break here and
explain two things. One, SCAB defined at
the beginning, is even more loosely used
in the story. Technically, there is a union,
the teamsters, involved in the lettuce
growing. Morally, I think the term is
quite suitable.
Secondly, to dispel a rumor, the
University of Washington does not have a
constant flow of UFW lettuce. According
to UW Housing and Food Services
Director, Art Pringle, they use no UFW
or teamster lettuce. They serve mainly
California leaf lettuce, or local head
lettuce.
Verbal Ag~eements
The controversy has surfaced more
openly this year than. in the past. Protests
At the beginning of the year were quelled
by one of the nC'w infamous verbal
agreements; according to the students
involved it indicated ' UFW lettuce would
be sold whenever available and local or
leaf lettuce when it wasn't. Saga food
service manager Craig McCarty recalled it
as UFW when available, whatever's
available when UFW isn't.

The week of March 8, several persons
notified the school a protest would begin
if the teamster lettuce wasn't removed
from the counters. Moss ordered all head
lettuce removed and on March 13 called
for a Disappearing Task Force (DTF) to
resolve th~ situation. Now, the reults of
that hearing.
From a memo by John Moss, dated
May 1, 1975:
On March 13, 1975, I called II
DTF comprised of 16 people
representing a broad cross segment
of the Evergreen Community. My
charge to that DTF was to survey
the entire campus with regard to
preferences about: [Q) exclusive use
of UFW lettuce, [b) use of UFW
lettuce when it is available and use
of other union and ' non-union
lettuce in the absence of .its
availability, [c) exclusive use of non
UFW lettuce.
The DTF meeting was called for
April 8, at 3 p.m. in 3121 Library,
only two members attended that
DTF meeting. Two had previously
declined membership and one hIlS
since indicated that residence in
Colorado makes attendance impossible.
The hand written report receivfHi
from that DTF meeting in part
stated - "we do not see that a DTF
needs to function Itere."
As responsible authority for the
college food service, . I hereby
i'lstruct you to continue to secure
UFW lettuce when it is llVailable
and otherwise serve non-UFW
lettuce as well as romaine and
other greens--clearly indicating by
means of a sign, placard or other
posting that the lettuce being served

,

page 14
is not UFW lettuce and that the
choice of support or non-support of
the union jurisditional question is
left to the individual.
Due to the lack of response to the DTF,
Mo'ss returned to that policy and
commented, "It is a fact there are unions
represented on this campus and as the
case is with Elena and the Coalition
(Non-white) thet support the United Farm
Workers and its a good possibility there's
another segment of the campus that
support the teamsters."
Picket Begins
Perez and others informed Moss picket
lines would begin May 1, if the teamster
product remained - it did, they did. That
day Moss released the previous memo
which was the first Perez and the others
had heard about it. She got a list of those
asked to take part in the DTF and went to
talk with one of the few people's names
she recognized , Diane Miller.
Miller, who works with Affirmative
Action, told Elena she didn't show for the
DTF because she didn't "believe John was
really serious about it." Judging by the
turnout, (and the findings of the two who
showed) not many people did.
The protest began Friday morning with
a few students carrying the boycott signs
and asking people to not buy Saga
merchandise. A few were persuaded and
the day passed with little hassle.
By Monday, Moss, along with Dean
Clabaugh and Rod Marrom , had left for a
Western Association of College Business
Officers Convention in San Francisco .
The boycott resumed early that morning,
although, as was later discovered, no
hope of official policy change would take
place until Moss returned. As late as
Monday , in a phone call from San
Francisco, Moss was holding that the
Input Resource Senter (IRS) should poll
the- studentry on which kind of lettuce
would best be served. But, I don't believe
anyone was anticipating the intensity of
the demonstration or proliferation of its
participants, when he departed.
The Men's Center , who had been
planning a bake sale before they were
even aware of any pending protes t, .
merged with the pickets. Cookies, coffee,
and apple juice were sold by the Center to
stave off starving holdouts from breaking
down and buying Saga. The added
incentive gave momentum to the protest.
Old Pig Gallo
By Tuesday , the demonstrating hit a
peak. People were singing ... . "and on his
fa rm he had no union ee-j ee-i 000 , with
a scab, scab here and a scab, scab
there" . ... . but beyond the jovial attitude
in the protest (which, by this time, was
beginning to take its toll on Saga) a few
sparks were beginning to fly .
Saga empl ~ yee s were beginning to feel
maligned, pers onally , by the turnin g
away of their business . They tried to
a rgue with the protesters, saying, "it isn't
l' ur dec ision , go pi cket M oss or how 'bout

Cooper Point Journal
the state?"
The picketers involved in the exchange
responded, "then we'll pressure the state
into changing their ways, we've done it
before" with such an attitude a fullfledged chorus of We Shall Overcome felt
pending.
By lunchtime, there was a stand with
food for sale, and hungry sympathizers
swarming around the tables - Saga
business was dropping, and a few tempers
boiling. Following lunch things thinned
out and people cooled off .
Unfortunately , the protest was not
entirely without incident. (I say unfortunately because too many outsiders pick
up on a single incident in a protest to beef
about and the issue becomes ignored. I'd
hate to see that trend cloud this one.)
lettuce Rip-off
During lunch on Monday , a male
person entered the kitchen at Saga and
grabbed a case of lettuce, ran out to the
hallway and spread it all over the floor.
{At the time, following the pick up of the
lettuce , I _ was informed by a Saga
employee that the lettuce wou ld be
cleaned and served on Tuesday. She also
said it was UFW lettuce .}
According to picketers on the scene, the
spread-and-split bandit was not a part of
the protest. In fact, they said, he had just
eaten in Saga . According to Saga
employees, the female person who had
distracted them during the. theft , had been
picketing earlier in the day. Neither merit
identifying.
Beyond that single incident , there was
little mishap. A few people felt pressured
unnecessarily (as indicated by the cartoon
letter on page 2) but, frequently thaft
what it take ~ to get someone's attention.

Now What
The Sounding Board held its regular
meeting Wednesday morning, (which isn't
really too surprising) and the lettuce
controversy came to a head. Both sides of
the question got some feelings off of their
chests, neither hearing the other.
Following the hearing, a couple of high
administrators, it is said, exposed feelings
on what the outcome of the lettuce
question will be. Saga is losing money
and that relates directly to the school and
its functioning. Because of that, not
because people are upset, not because
farm laborers are being exploited for petty
gain by already rich employers and not
because someone cared enough to voice
an opinion on the campus of the armchair
activist, but because money is being lost,
there could be a resolution (in writing)
before this paper is out.
This will probably blow over without
the real issue having been dealt with. To
me, it kicks a couple pretty delving
questions about this institution right out
in front of God and everybody, if anyone
takes the initiative to look .
Should an institution dedicated to those
rejecting an education system (as well as
economic system) for being oppressive,
support industries repressing the efforts of
the worker to organize? Should the sons
of Hoffa be supported, just because it is
convenient? Or have we begun a system ·
at Evergreen with priority given to the
upkeeping of its bureaucracy, ' rather than
its principles?
I guess" for now , we have to face what
Ned Swift (picketer extraordinaire) said,
"It's like we told you , if you want to get
to them, you have to hit them in the
pocketbook. "

By MICHAEL CORRIGAN
I feel a need to respond to some of the
statements made at the outdoor IndoChina rally. While the rhetoric was for
the most part familiar to me as a one time
SDS member, I did find one or two inconsistencies on which I would like to
comment.
At one point, one of the speakers said
that capitalism and imperialism were inseparable and as I recall she also said that
they were cruel and intolerable . This is
where my first bit of confusion originated .
The second is that "We 5hould support
our brothers in Indo-China. " The brothers, if my memory of rhetoric serves me
well , are the Vietcong. That I share any
bond of brotherhood with the Vietcong I
strongly doubt and I must say I resent the
presumption of those who classify me as
such.
That capitalism and imperialism are inseparable I would probably not debate. I
would also oot question that socialism
and economic imperialism are joined inseparably .
Capitalism is not the only economic
structure that requires expanding markets
and increased production. It is not always
easy to recognize the need to expand markets in state controlled economies because
prices are fixed by the state. This can
produce a state of artificial, well-being
that can disguise whether an economy is
in trouble. We are not the only ones in
trouble these days.
The ·point is that I strongly doubt that
the aid given by the USSR and China
(through North Vietnam) is for any more
of an idealistic reason than our aid is to
the Cambodians and South Vietnamese .
It bothers me that as we chastise ourselves ror the prolonged devastation of an
entire culture and ask forgiveness for our
wicked imperialistic intentions, that some
of us embrace the other side for doing
pre.: isely the same t'li'1g for almost identical motives. This is no way to deal with
th~ 9:uilt illl of us must feel.
_
I ~m--v-ery tired of hearing about the
gloriol's virtues of both capitalism and
socialism but perhaps I have no choice.
These struggles go on now as they always
have. My only fear is that as we begin to
see more clearly that capita:ism has serious problems that we run like so many
half crazed new converts to some vague
panacea .
I also wish that we could cut the phony
sentiment , the tears 00 no good, and to
some degree begin to accept the responsibility for the millions of deaths we have
caused. It is pathetic that some ·of us are
treatir.g this so immaturely by letting the
wind carry them to the other, identical
~ ide . Thai even further degrades those

the aid given by the USSR and China
(through North Vietnam) is for any more
of an idealistic reason than our aid is to
the Cambodians and South Vietnamese .
It bothers me that as we chastise ourselves ror the prolonged devastation of an
entire culture and ask forgiveness for our
wicked imperialistic intentions, that some
of us embrace the other side for doing
pre.: isely the same t'li'1g for almost identical motives. This is no way to deal with
th~ 9:uilt illl of us must feel.
_
I ~m--v-ery tired of hearing about the
gloriol's virtues of both capitalism and
socialism but perhaps I have no choice.
These struggles go on now as they always
have. My only fear is that as we begin to
see more clearly that capita:ism has serious problems that we run like so many
half crazed new converts to some vague
panacea .
I also wish that we could cut the phony
sentiment , the tears 00 no good, and to
some degree begin to accept the responsibility for the millions of deaths we have
caused. It is pathetic that some ·of us are
treatir.g this so immaturely by letting the
wind carry them to the other, identical
~ ide . Thai even further degrades those

By EVA USADI
When I saw the movie Hearts and
Minds several weeks ago, the war in Vietnam was still raging, Since then, the Saigon troops have surrendered, the city has
been renamed Ho Chi Minh City, most
United States military personnel have left
Vietnam, an<:i thousands of refugees and
orphans have been airlifted to "safety ." In
the light of these developments, the film
takes on a new, a more pertinent meaning,
Hearts and Minds appears to be a film
about Vietnam, but is really a film about
America - America, land where the warwithin-the-war still rages .
Hearts and Minds is a sensitive film,
The scenes of dying people, and devastated land are there - it would be difficult to make a movie about AmeriCans in
Vietnam without them , Yet, the emphasis
in the film is of a more subtle brutality.
Continually addressed in the film is a
question which persists for many American people, "How are we going to prevent such international involvement in the
future?" This is done effectively by interspersing actual footage of Vietnam, which
was shot in Hung Dinh village, northwest
of Ho Chi Minh City, with speeches given
by high gover~ment officials, and scenes
of football games in a small Ohio town.
Probably, the Intention of this type of
filming is most clear during a segment in
which a high school football coach is giving his "boys" a pep talk in the locker
room before a game. He begins by arousing their confidence in their ability to play
a good game. Suddenly, the man gets extremely excited, and slaps each player
across the face (using both hands). while
he screams hysterically and repeatedly,
"don't let us lose!" Immediately the scene
changes to an aging LB], addressing a
group of soldiers as he tells them serenely
to "get in there (Vietnam) and win."

A glaring contrast between two cultures
is made when we see a desperate, frightened young child wailing at his father's
grave. The sound of his pain is disturbing ,
but, the mood changes abruptly as we listen to General Westmoreland saying that
the Vietnamese have a different respect
for life, that, "life in Asia is very cheap."
Unlike many of the films which came
out of the Indochina war years, Hearts
and Minds shows more than that Americans did terrible things to the people and
the land of Vietnam. It is a powerful social statement about the macho male arrogance which produced, prolonged and intensified the United States involvment
("commitment") in Vietnam. The clearest,
most brutal depiction of the dominant
male ideology that is a main thread in
American society, is the interaction between two GIs and two Vietnamese prostitutes. The men degrade the women in a
way which is clearly indicative of an intense sexism; this, for many women , is
the most difficult scene in the film to
watch.
The lies, the deception on the part of
the U. S. government throughout the Vietnam war, produced a blind American patriotism that encouraged men like Lt.
George Coker, prisoner of war from 1966
to 1973, to say what got him through
those long years in northern Vietnam,
was "faith in my, family, my god, and my
country ." He then added that hitting his
target during a bombing mission was
"enormously satisfying."
Of course, there were people who were
. outspoken critics of the U.S , interference
in the Vietnamese revolution. One of the
more sensitive sections of the film is a
close- up of Daniel Ellsberg saying, "it is a
credit to the American people that the
government had to lie for so long ; it is
not a credit ~at it was so easy. "
As many "controversial" films produced

during the war years, Heqrts and Minds
went through more than its share of
trouble before it was released .
The film was originally purchased by
CBS, as part of a six-movie package to
which Bert Schneider and Peter Davis had
agreed (other films by Schneider and
Davis : Th e Selling of th e Pentagon,
Hunger in America , Five Easy Pieces, and
The Last Picture Show). Columbia executives were nervo us about distributing an- '
other controversia l film after being admonished by a Congressional committee
for their "disrespect" in showing Tile Se lling of the Pentago n .
One week before its screening at the
Cannes film festival last spring, Columbia
refused to release Hearts and Minds . The
film was screened anyway , and continued
to be shown through the summer and fall.
It qualified for and won an Academy
Award for Best Documentary of 1975;
Schneider and Davis read the letter they
had received from the Hanoi government,
as part of their acceptance speech .
Finally, Schneider aQd Davis "bought"
their film back from CBS, and made a
distribution arrangement with Warne r
Brothers. Although it is available , and has
broken first run records, many movie theater operators have declined offers to run
it.
The reviews have been overwhelmingly
favorable. This is the text of an ad which
appeared in the U of W Daily . It was
written and pa id for by Randy Finley, the
owner and programmer of The Movie
House,
"The movie Hearts and Minds presentl y
playing at my competitor's theater, The
Varsity, is the most urgent and important
motion picture of o ur time. It is difficult
to express this, but I thin k those w ho do
not see Hearts and Minds do a great diS service to themselves a nd the decision to
not attend is a care less and insensit ive decision. For everyone's sake , see I t."

credit to the American people that the
government had to lie for so long ; it is
not a credit ~at it was so easy. "
As many "controversial" films produced

during the war years, Heqrts and Minds
went through more than its share of
trouble before it was released .
The film was originally purchased by
CBS, as part of a six-movie package to
which Bert Schneider and Peter Davis had
agreed (other films by Schneider and
Davis : Th e Selling of th e Pentagon,
Hunger in America , Five Easy Pieces, and
The Last Picture Show). Columbia executives were nervo us about distributing an- '
other controversia l film after being admonished by a Congressional committee
for their "disrespect" in showing Tile Se lling of the Pentago n .
One week before its screening at the
Cannes film festival last spring, Columbia
refused to release Hearts and Minds . The
film was screened anyway , and continued
to be shown through the summer and fall.
It qualified for and won an Academy
Award for Best Documentary of 1975;
Schneider and Davis read the letter they
had received from the Hanoi government,
as part of their acceptance speech .
Finally, Schneider aQd Davis "bought"
their film back from CBS, and made a
distribution arrangement with Warne r
Brothers. Although it is available , and has
broken first run records, many movie theater operators have declined offers to run
it.
The reviews have been overwhelmingly
favorable. This is the text of an ad which
appeared in the U of W Daily . It was
written and pa id for by Randy Finley, the
owner and programmer of The Movie
House,
"The movie Hearts and Minds presentl y
playing at my competitor's theater, The
Varsity, is the most urgent and important
motion picture of o ur time. It is difficult
to express this, but I thin k those w ho do
not see Hearts and Minds do a great diS service to themselves a nd the decision to
not attend is a care less and insensit ive decision. For everyone's sake , see I t."

Roman Polanski's Chinatown has returned to Olympia after a nine-month absence; this time appearing at the most
innocuous of places: "Walt Disney" Theatre. Starring Jack Nicholson, Faye Dunaway and John Huston, Chinatown is a
sophisticated melodrama that entertains
you without being insulting. The film is a
mystery that fulfills the recent nostalgia
craze by placing the scenario in the 1930s.
However, instead of creating illusions to
the tune of "Weren't Those The Good
Old Days," Chinatown goes a long way
toward presenting the past realistically;
not to glorify it but to help the viewer
understand it.
The movie is located in Los Angeles;
not the sprawling monster that is now situated on the premises, but a smaller, predevelopment L.A . that was already on the
verge of its drastic facelifting in the '30s.
The protagonist of Chinatown is a private
detective, J.J. Gittes, whom Jack Nicholson portrays with a flair and a sense of
humanity usually lacking from such roles.
Gittes' investigation of a man's supposed
adulterous affairs leads to the man's murder. He is then hired by the wealthy
widow, Mrs. Mulray (Faye Dunaway), to
investigate the cause of the murder. Gittes
soon realizes t,hat this is not a typical
murder as it develops into a scandal involvi~g powerful persons in high places
attempting to rip off the public for tens of
millions of dollars. Finally, Gittes' inves- ..,..
tigation leads him to the ringleader, Noah
Cross (John Huston). who is the aging
father of Mrs . Mulray and the ex-partner
of her murdered husband .
Chinatown is a masterful mystery insofar as it keeps you guessing as to what is
happening yet it never loses you . The plot
is further complicated by personal
intrigues between Mrs. Mulray and her
father. The film ends realistically ; not
with the triumphant Gittes exposing the
wealthy Cross for the criminal he is, but
with his fatalistic acceptance of defeat to
the rich and powerful. The direction and
editing of Roman Polanski captures the
aura of the '30s magnificently while the
camera work keeps arti st ica ll y consistent
to the theme of the movie .
Contrast all of this to the 1930s when
Hollywood was turning out movies like
UCLA turns out basketball players .
America was in the grips of the worst depression in its history and pr.e-television
Americans went to the movIes two or
three times a week . Most of the films
were of the cut and dry good guy I Bad
guy sort which place::! all the emphasis on
the gooJness or badness of t he individual.
America ns looked to movie stilrs for co nsolation and huge "cults of personality"

developed around such figures as Clark
Gable, Bette Davis, Spencer Tracy and
others.
America has undergone a number of
changes since then. People are questioning
the quality of their lives . Within this scenario, people are just not willing to accept
the one-dimensional quality of '30s
movies. While the old movies make entertaining late-show fare, attempts to duplicate them today are almost always washouts. Even television, that last bastion of
mindlessness, is making some movement
in the direction of a more realistic and
meaningful agenda. The word has gotten
to Hollywood: film-goers want real
people in real stories facing the sort _of
dilemmas they face in their own lives.
Chinatown is indeed a reflection of
America's growt h in many respects. While
it is a mystery, the plot does not revolve
around the evil designs of "Mugsy" or
"Scarface" or some other Hollywood invention. The film deals with rich people
trying to rip off the public for their own
gain. Noah Cross and his partners want
to divert the water supply to their own
land and develop Los Angeles into the
swamp it presently is. Chinatown, thus,
has a great deal of relevance as it incorporates a degree of social commentary
within the realm of a mystery.
However, despite the fact that Chinatown enters Hollywood's largely unblazed
trail 'of social criticism, it does so in an
ambiguous manner. As the film develops,
Noah Cross is seen as an insane person
whose irrational greediness is the cause of
his wanting to develop Los Angeles in a
cheap way harmful to the public interest.
Furthermore, his morality is contrasted to
the liberal Mulray; murdered for his unwillingiess to cheat the people . But, as the
last 30 years have decisively shown, Los
Angeles and other cities have been constructed ruthlessly not by the designs of a
few evil persons, but by a system which
encourages it.
Thus Chinatown carried on some of the
"cu lt of personality" of the old Hollywood. If Noah Cross is a half-'c razed
capitalist there is no explanation as to
why he is that way; of what tendencies in
our society encourage that development.
It is just a "given." While Chinatown
deals with some of the ma jor problems of
our times it is sti ll deals with individual
morality as the motive force of history,
without any analysis of the society as a
who le .
But Chill..llllWn is a mystery , not a
hi story book , and a" this is the case it is
well worth seeing. While its attempt at
social cri ticism is commendable, there are
shortcomings that warrant our attenti on.
Neve rthel ess, its splendid acting, direc tion
Jnd scrcc np lilY make it one of the finest

originate inside the shop, due to lack of
experience in management. Spivey has
made offers to Doerksen to spend whatever time is necessary to help all the
workers realize the effective use of equipment and time.
Falxa agreed this would be good, saying the organization based on experience
and understanding could go a long way
toward providing a better service, improving working conditions and promoting
appreciation for the aesthetics of the craft.
Ortiz and Meier, caught in positions of
little or no advancement, must bear the
brunt of management difficulties. These
two,and others like them, feel strongly
that organizational changes they have no
control over must be made in order for
those working at this institution to value
and respect their jobs .·

Wagners "Ring"
By BRIAN BA C H
Thi s co ming July the Seatt le Opera w ill
present Ri ch a rd Wag ner's four opera sp ectacle, Der Ring des N ibelunge n . Never has
a pro jec t of this mag nitude b een undertake n in t he Wes tern H e mi sphe re. It is to
be presented as Wag ne r himself intended:
a ll fo ur operas w ithin o ne week. This Fes-

tival Play for Three Days , with a Prelimill ary Evell ing h ad it s complete premiere
99 years ago a t the specia ll y built Festival
Playhouse in Bayreut h , Bavaria. After
a lm ost 20 years of work , Wag ner ca m e
up with o ne of the m os t impressive a nd
si n g ul a r crea ti o n s ever to come from the
mind o f a m a n .
The Ring was g reete d w ith mi xed feelings. Wagner had n ow m a de full use o f
his "ar twork of the future" - a synthesis
of poetry, dra ma , mu s ic, decor a nd lig hting. T hese we re intricately laced t ogether
to p ro duce a t hea tri ca l experience of a
q uas i- re lig ious ki nd. like his contempora ries, Ibsen for exa mpl e, h e looked o n
the th ea tre as n o t jus t a m eans for ent ertain m e nt , but as som et hing ennob ling and
sp iritua ll y upliftin g, after th e ancient
Greek exam pl e .

Today, af ter a ce ntury of buffeting,
cr iticism and erro neou s int e rpretati o n
durin g two world wars , the wo rk st ill
stand s intac t. Its greatness is obvious .
However , th e majority of the public s hies
away from Wagner - " . . . too long . ..
.," " . . . too heavy . . . " H e demands
muc h of his a udience. The highly charged
e m o ti o n s th at are give n o ut for as long as
four a nd a ha lf hours a re sometimes too
much for peop le to take. Fo r so m e people ,
Wag n er's works can deve lop into an e ndura nce tes t in the name of culture. Th ey
a re t o ta ll y miss ing the point, for full a p preciation o f the works, one must approach the m with an open mind, a nd
maybe a bit of prev ious research about
b ac kgro und in formation . But then carefree lyricism and pre tt y songs from Italian
opera wo uld be preferred to something
that carries so me weight or conveys a
m essage.
For a man n o t blessed w ith the inborn
gifts of Mozart o r Lisz t, Wag ner's musical
achievements and degree of comp lexity
a re truly marvelous, for · it is the mus ic
itself that stands above a ll e lse . He had a
huge ca pacity for creating new music. The
prelude to Das Rh eingo ld, the Magic Fire
Mus ic from Die Walkure, the finale of
Go tterdammerung , the hol y mysticism of
the prelude to Parsifal, these a re a ll exa mples of a new kind of musical crea tion
a nd c harac te ri zation. With a few not es o n
a page , Wag ner is a ble to create the impression of a personality, or a n a tura l
forc e., o r a specific e motion w ith complete

perfec tion . It is interesting that this man
w ho w r o te such enormou s works is actuall y the mas te r of the miniature . While
th ere a re ex te ns ive passages of beauty and
th e s ublime in hi s works, the general
feeling o f it all is a relentless intensity that
co n veys t'he listener to a faraway place .
One of the more interesting elemen ts
that I have discovered abou t Wagner's
mus ic dramas is that a cinemat ic quality
is prevalent. The drama, music , special
effects and timing are all geared for the
scree n . Indeed , the Ring would look great
o n film , but the human presence and inte ra ct io n that is so impo rtant in live performance would be gone.
In the past 30 years, Wieland Wagner's
p roduct io n s of his grandfather's works
have shown a new and modernistic approach that was begun by the Swiss set
designer, Adolphe Appia. Appia's stark ,
ba re se ttings opened up new dimensions
in the interpreta tion of these operas . And
the lis t of p ossibilities is growing. The use
of movies o n a rear projection screen is
o nly one exa mple. At last, the methods of
producing the content are becoming
worthy of the content itself .
.
During Summer Quarter here at
Evergreen, a coord in ated studies '
program ' dealing with the Ring cycle
will b e o ffered . The program will
exa mine the various elements of the
opera s, including their production
his to ry a nd reputation .
The four faculty members involved in the three week long study
are: Wa lter Asc haffenburg, David
P owell, C harl e~ Teske and Bill Wind en . T he progra m will run in conjuncti o n with the aforementioned
Sea ttle productions in July . Details

the th ea tre as n o t jus t a m eans for ent ertain m e nt , but as som et hing ennob ling and
sp iritua ll y upliftin g, after th e ancient
Greek exam pl e .

Today, af ter a ce ntury of buffeting,
cr iticism and erro neou s int e rpretati o n
durin g two world wars , the wo rk st ill
stand s intac t. Its greatness is obvious .
However , th e majority of the public s hies
away from Wagner - " . . . too long . ..
.," " . . . too heavy . . . " H e demands
muc h of his a udience. The highly charged
e m o ti o n s th at are give n o ut for as long as
four a nd a ha lf hours a re sometimes too
much for peop le to take. Fo r so m e people ,
Wag n er's works can deve lop into an e ndura nce tes t in the name of culture. Th ey
a re t o ta ll y miss ing the point, for full a p preciation o f the works, one must approach the m with an open mind, a nd
maybe a bit of prev ious research about
b ac kgro und in formation . But then carefree lyricism and pre tt y songs from Italian
opera wo uld be preferred to something
that carries so me weight or conveys a
m essage.
For a man n o t blessed w ith the inborn
gifts of Mozart o r Lisz t, Wag ner's musical
achievements and degree of comp lexity
a re truly marvelous, for · it is the mus ic
itself that stands above a ll e lse . He had a
huge ca pacity for creating new music. The
prelude to Das Rh eingo ld, the Magic Fire
Mus ic from Die Walkure, the finale of
Go tterdammerung , the hol y mysticism of
the prelude to Parsifal, these a re a ll exa mples of a new kind of musical crea tion
a nd c harac te ri zation. With a few not es o n
a page , Wag ner is a ble to create the impression of a personality, or a n a tura l
forc e., o r a specific e motion w ith complete

perfec tion . It is interesting that this man
w ho w r o te such enormou s works is actuall y the mas te r of the miniature . While
th ere a re ex te ns ive passages of beauty and
th e s ublime in hi s works, the general
feeling o f it all is a relentless intensity that
co n veys t'he listener to a faraway place .
One of the more interesting elemen ts
that I have discovered abou t Wagner's
mus ic dramas is that a cinemat ic quality
is prevalent. The drama, music , special
effects and timing are all geared for the
scree n . Indeed , the Ring would look great
o n film , but the human presence and inte ra ct io n that is so impo rtant in live performance would be gone.
In the past 30 years, Wieland Wagner's
p roduct io n s of his grandfather's works
have shown a new and modernistic approach that was begun by the Swiss set
designer, Adolphe Appia. Appia's stark ,
ba re se ttings opened up new dimensions
in the interpreta tion of these operas . And
the lis t of p ossibilities is growing. The use
of movies o n a rear projection screen is
o nly one exa mple. At last, the methods of
producing the content are becoming
worthy of the content itself .
.
During Summer Quarter here at
Evergreen, a coord in ated studies '
program ' dealing with the Ring cycle
will b e o ffered . The program will
exa mine the various elements of the
opera s, including their production
his to ry a nd reputation .
The four faculty members involved in the three week long study
are: Wa lter Asc haffenburg, David
P owell, C harl e~ Teske and Bill Wind en . T he progra m will run in conjuncti o n with the aforementioned
Sea ttle productions in July . Details
a re in the Summer Catalog.
