Dear "Name Withheld by Request" RedBaiting Cartoonist: I'm sorry if I intimidated you. I didn' t mean to force you to
confront any important issues before you
were ready. last week someone else told
me that it wasn't nice of me to stand in
front of SAGA with a picket sign .
I don't think it's "nice" that most farmworkers die before the age of 50, or that
their chi ldren can' t attend school beEause
they' re too busy
working in the
fields.
Maybe Mommy
and Daddy taught
yo u such good
manners that your
brain has fermented into a
s weetness which
prevents you from
imagining that life
is not "nice" for
everybody .
I know that
thi s letter will
probably alienate
you, but, that 's
okay, because it seems that you're already
alienated from the struggle which most .of
the people of the world are living.
Enjoy the rest of your "education."

OMBUDS AD REVIEWED
To the Point:
This letter is a re s ponse to th e
Ombuds I Advocate memo on the back of
the May 8th CPJ . I do not differ with
their cry for student solidarity and more
coo rdination in the funding of student
groups. But the manner in which these requests are presented can be misleading
a nd detract from their necessi ty as a result.
First, they are correct that "Evergreen is
not a united community;" it is not welded
into one solid body. This fact can teach
. illu sioned newcomers what to expect of
th e sociaty he r(' . The re will a lways be
~epa rat(' social groups with their particu la r requirem e nt s a nd int erests at Evergree n , bUI Ih at d oesn' t destroy the ex ist enn' " I community . Because we have a ll

chosen to be at Evergreen there are greater, general principles and needs that tie
distinct groups together. We can't forget
our individual selves, but neither can we
neglect attending to the communal aspects
of being at Evergreen .
As to their second point, it is good to
inform others of the reality of decisionmaking at this school so that no one gets
the rug pulled from under him I her. But
before accusations are too liberally applied, it ought to be remembered that
COG plainly states that administrators
are paid to manage the school so that students, faculty, and staff can proceed with
the business of education. I should say
busyness, a more accurate description that
explains why they can't administer and do
formal education simultaneously. Now, if
the memo-writers don't agree with this
governance setup, let them proceed to
change COG . But don't waste time complaining about a system that was formally
approved by most people here.
I am not implying, however, that
blanket power be given to administrators,
while assuming them to be benevolent dictators. Hell no! Nor is COG saying this,
if its ideals and philosophies are truly
lived up to. This in.nut method is tricky,
and is made all the more so when suspicion characterizes its expression. Caution
is necessary, but mistrust is counter-productive.
I'm not so naive as to assume there
hasn't been some cause for mistrust in the
past. But screaming for power is not the
way to remedy this. It looks like an immature test of independence and strength .
And it is absurd to react as if power was
a scarce commodity available for distribution . Who gives it out? According to
what criteria? No , people react this way
when they are ignorant of personal power
and must demand it from others in the external world . When that world gives it,
decision-makers develop and others lose
sight of their strength to effect change .
Bring on the helplessness and alienation!
I can see that this explanation may
seem simplistic and unreal. But the motivation it discusses is true enough . All I
am trying to illustrate is that demanding
an equal measure of power is self-defeating because no one is going to give it. It
has to be "taken" by realizing it in oneself
and denying it to others. One against the
world is rough, but joining with people of
similar concerns increases confidence in
the ability to really be effective. Most importantly, sharing ideas and desires remains a necessary step toward developing
a community of people. That is why I
fully support student, faculty and staff
organizing. Equally important, however ,
is to remember that strength should not
come from numbers, per se, but from individual contributions within those numbers. This distinction can make the qualita tive difference between a bullying group
and a constructive body .
I want to see th e S&A Board clean up

the way student money is allocated to organizations. It is inefficient and separates
people with similar interests such as student legal-service groups. The Ombuds l
Advocate Office certainly shows its commitment to resolving this weakness in the
Evergreen community by risking their
funding for the 1975 - 76 academic year.
The success of their action will have implications for the entire campus commun, ity , and I certainly hope that is the focus
of their attention, rather than on students
alone. I think it is.

To the Point:
I have received so many notes, letters
and words of goodwill from Evergreeners
and the Community that I have just not
been able to express my thanks and appreciation to each and every one. Thus I
take "typewriter in hand" and prevail on
the Journal as a voice that I know will
reach all.
First my deep appreciation for all the
expressions of colleagueship and good
wishes. This has been heartening. It will
always be a great satisfaction for me to
reflect on the opportunities that I had to
help "pull the~e buildings" out of the clay
and gravel beds that underlie "The Point."
Most important to me however, was the
opportunity that I as Vice President and
Provost had to help bring most of this
faculty together to build the Evergreen
Academic Program.,
And then to have had opportunity to
teach in it ... as both student and member of the faculty . This completed the
"circle of effort" and was perhaps my

explains why they can't administer and do
formal education simultaneously. Now, if
the memo-writers don't agree with this
governance setup, let them proceed to
change COG . But don't waste time complaining about a system that was formally
approved by most people here.
I am not implying, however, that
blanket power be given to administrators,
while assuming them to be benevolent dictators. Hell no! Nor is COG saying this,
if its ideals and philosophies are truly
lived up to. This in.nut method is tricky,
and is made all the more so when suspicion characterizes its expression. Caution
is necessary, but mistrust is counter-productive.
I'm not so naive as to assume there
hasn't been some cause for mistrust in the
past. But screaming for power is not the
way to remedy this. It looks like an immature test of independence and strength .
And it is absurd to react as if power was
a scarce commodity available for distribution . Who gives it out? According to
what criteria? No , people react this way
when they are ignorant of personal power
and must demand it from others in the external world . When that world gives it,
decision-makers develop and others lose
sight of their strength to effect change .
Bring on the helplessness and alienation!
I can see that this explanation may
seem simplistic and unreal. But the motivation it discusses is true enough . All I
am trying to illustrate is that demanding
an equal measure of power is self-defeating because no one is going to give it. It
has to be "taken" by realizing it in oneself
and denying it to others. One against the
world is rough, but joining with people of
similar concerns increases confidence in
the ability to really be effective. Most importantly, sharing ideas and desires remains a necessary step toward developing
a community of people. That is why I
fully support student, faculty and staff
organizing. Equally important, however ,
is to remember that strength should not
come from numbers, per se, but from individual contributions within those numbers. This distinction can make the qualita tive difference between a bullying group
and a constructive body .
I want to see th e S&A Board clean up

the way student money is allocated to organizations. It is inefficient and separates
people with similar interests such as student legal-service groups. The Ombuds l
Advocate Office certainly shows its commitment to resolving this weakness in the
Evergreen community by risking their
funding for the 1975 - 76 academic year.
The success of their action will have implications for the entire campus commun, ity , and I certainly hope that is the focus
of their attention, rather than on students
alone. I think it is.

To the Point:
I have received so many notes, letters
and words of goodwill from Evergreeners
and the Community that I have just not
been able to express my thanks and appreciation to each and every one. Thus I
take "typewriter in hand" and prevail on
the Journal as a voice that I know will
reach all.
First my deep appreciation for all the
expressions of colleagueship and good
wishes. This has been heartening. It will
always be a great satisfaction for me to
reflect on the opportunities that I had to
help "pull the~e buildings" out of the clay
and gravel beds that underlie "The Point."
Most important to me however, was the
opportunity that I as Vice President and
Provost had to help bring most of this
faculty together to build the Evergreen
Academic Program.,
And then to have had opportunity to
teach in it ... as both student and member of the faculty . This completed the
"circle of effort" and was perhaps my

will

be determining the allocation of S&A funds for 1975-76 .
That's $350,000!

Where is your

voi~e

in this process?

The Ombuds-Advocates Office strongly feels that eight
student voices do not insure adequate representation of
student interests.
We ask that you do some thinking about this problem
and bring your ideas to this office.
Urge the S&A Board members to re-evaluate the whole
allocation process-- NOW-- before decisions for next year
are made.

Thank you.

Aft~r almost a full week boycott of Saga
because of 'their policy on the purchase of
lettuce, John Moss issued a statement to
Craig McCarty, the manager of the food
service on campus, directing him to purchase United Farmworkers or local
growers'lettuce. The memo reads:
"Because of recently expressed sentiment regarding the various alternative
head lettuce sources, I feel compelled to
change the existing policy. This sentiment
has been primarily expressed by picketing, boycotting, and the resultant decline
in usage of Food Service.
"Therefore, effective immediately your
purchases of head lettuce are restricted to
either U. F. W. sources, or local growers.
If neither source is able to meet your requirements you may substitute romaine,
chard, spinach, or other similar greens."
The statement was signed by Elena
Perez, Acting Director of the Third World
Coalition.
The day before this memo had been released, Moss directed a statement to the
"UFW Support Committee, the Non White Coalition, Boycott Organizations,
and Alternative Food Supplies." The
memo concerned the sale of alternative
food on campus during the boycott. He reminded the involved parties that "the sale
of food on campus is governed by the college food service contract with Saga, as
well as state and local government regulations."
The alleged violations included rulings
regarding the collections of retail sales,
health and safety standards of the State
Board of Health, and the Thurston-Mason
Health District, and lack of an appropriate
business license.
On Thursday, two meetings between
the boycotters, and John Moss and Craig
McCarty took place. The first negotiation
'o ccurred at 10 a.m. Appro,timately ten
people met to discuss the boycott situation, and to read a memo that Moss had
issued about a change in his policy on the
purchase of lettuce on this campus. At
that time, an article about the Evergreen
boycott had already appeared in the Daily
Olympian. Elena Perez contended that
she had been badly misquoted, and would
not speak again if anyone from the press

was present. Moss refused to ask Judy
Annis, News Director for the College Relations Office, to leave the public meeting.
Perez and several members of the Third
World Coalition walked out. The remaining students refused to accept Moss's
memo on the grounds that it was
ambiguous.
Later that day, the UFW Support Committee designated Perez as the spokesperson who would present a revised portion
of Moss's memo at a 2 p.m. meeting with
Mos~ and McCarty. Accompanied by 40
supporters, Perez read the committee's
position. Moss seemed to be troubled by
the wording of the committee's proposed
policy statement. He and Perez agreed to
meet privately to clarify the wording of
the final agreement. When asked if the
boycott would continue on Friday, Perez
said, "Until we have a written agreement,
there is no agreement." Just before the
meeting disbanded, 'Moss promised that
the policy statement would be finalized by
10 a.m. Friday morning.
Soon after the policy statement concerning the use of head lettuce on campus
was released the next day, a large handwritten sign appeared on the wall
between the Saga doors. It spoke of the
strength of people working together.

Dick Gregory, noted comedian and

Steilacoom Community College May 20 at
8 p.m. in the Student.Center.
"-There is a great social revolution going
on in America today," Gregory declares.
" And the wonderful thing about this revolution is that it is not Black against White.
It is simply right against wrong. The number one problem in America today is not
air and water pollution. It is moral pollution. The same moral pollution which
keeps the smoke up in the air also keeps
the Indian on the reservatton."

CONTRACT SUPERVISORS DISCUSS THEIR ROLES

Ken Donohue

More than 130 supervisors of students,
interns and representatives from business
and industrial communities will be at Evergreen for a Cooperative Education Conference May 16.
Evergreen director of Cooperative Education Ken Donohue said the all-day meeting is designed to be "both instructive and
educational" for participants, most of
whom are supervising off campus on-thejob work experiences of Evergreen students. "We hope to give participants a
better understanding of Evergreen's curriculum and their role as supervisors of
our students," he said.
Faculty are being encouraged to attend
the conference. Donohue pointed out it is
necessary to promote more communication between faculty and persons who are
supervising interns in the field. A common
complaint of field supervisors is that "faculty send students off campus and dump
them," accprding to Donohue. Supervisors are concerned about the academic
guidance given Evergreen interns by
their faculty sponsors. Donohue estimated
that 10 to 15 percent of the faculty will be
attending the conference. .
Another purpose of the conference is to
help open up new internship positio~s. Besides persons who've had experiences
with interns, there will be those who
haven't. Cooperative Education began
these conferences three years agb with
just the field supervisors. But since last
year they've invited other community
members to attend. This has been successful in expanding Evergreen's cooperative
education resources.
Olympia Mayor Tom Allen will open the
conference with a welcoming address at 9
a.m. Following will be six workshops on
Evergreen's Cooperative Education program and academic curriculum.
The six afternoon workshops will focus
on the internship experience. Representatives from agencies which have employed
student interns will participate in panel

discussions. Among these representatives
will be Carolyn Keck of the Olympia
School District, Mayor Ernie Skala of
North Bonneville, Marveen Rohr of the
Department of Natural Resources and a
representative from the Pacific Science
Center.
Members of the coordinated studies
program, Law Makers/Law Breakers will
participate in a panel discussion of their
winter quarter internship activities.
Other workshops will include a presentation highlighting the cultural differences
between the traditional white community
and the Native American community and
a discussion of regulations and laws governing Affirmative Action.
In the current academic year, roughly
one-third of Evergreen's enrollment 750 students - have participated in the
internship program. In the past four
years, the Cooperative Education Office
has placed 2,300 interns in a wide variety
of internships in business, industry, education, social service and governmental
agencies.
GINSBERG CANCELLED
Allen Ginsberg has cancelled his
planned reading engagement at Evergreen
Saturday, May 17, due to an illness which
resulted in ' his hospitalization last week.
According to a spokesman for Ginsberg,
he is suffering from kidneY ' problems and
"exhaustion. "
BOYCOTT AT

U

OF W

The University of Washington is in the
midst of a two day walkout of classes in response to the firings of Juan Sanchez, director of the Chicano Division in the office
of Minority Affairs, and Gary Padilla, director of Chicano Studies, and the 15-day
suspension of Rosa Morales, a secretary in
Chicano Studies. The three were involved
in a confrontation in the office of Dean
Beckmann of the College of Arts and
Sciences on April 30.
The confrontation was sparked by the
elimination of Chicano candidates for an
associate dean position in the college, and
centers around alleged violations of the
University's Affirmative Action policy.
Since the firings. Roberto Garfias, the
only Chicano full professor at the U of W,
resigned in protest. As of Tuesday, the
first day of the walkout, 41 professors,
administrators, and staff members have
joined Garfias' action,
The walkout action was initiated by the
University's t Mexican-Chicano Association (MECHA) and is supported by the
other Third World Coalitions on campus,
the ASUW Board of Controls, the Daily,
and many individuals from the U and sur, rounding community.
Instead of attending classes, the
students, staff, and administrators who
have walked out are listening to speeches,
and music in their Red Square.

DICK GREGORY TO SPEAK

Dick Gregory, noted comedian and
human rights activist, will speak at Fort
Steilacoom Community College May 20 at
8 p.m. in the Student.Center.
"-There is a great social revolution going
on in America today," Gregory declares.
" And the wonderful thing about this revolution is that it is not Black against White.
It is simply right against wrong. The number one problem in America today is not
air and water pollution. It is moral pollution. The same moral pollution which
keeps the smoke up in the air also keeps
the Indian on the reservatton."

CONTRACT SUPERVISORS DISCUSS THEIR ROLES

Ken Donohue

More than 130 supervisors of students,
interns and representatives from business
and industrial communities will be at Evergreen for a Cooperative Education Conference May 16.
Evergreen director of Cooperative Education Ken Donohue said the all-day meeting is designed to be "both instructive and
educational" for participants, most of
whom are supervising off campus on-thejob work experiences of Evergreen students. "We hope to give participants a
better understanding of Evergreen's curriculum and their role as supervisors of
our students," he said.
Faculty are being encouraged to attend
the conference. Donohue pointed out it is
necessary to promote more communication between faculty and persons who are
supervising interns in the field. A common
complaint of field supervisors is that "faculty send students off campus and dump
them," accprding to Donohue. Supervisors are concerned about the academic
guidance given Evergreen interns by
their faculty sponsors. Donohue estimated
that 10 to 15 percent of the faculty will be
attending the conference. .
Another purpose of the conference is to
help open up new internship positio~s. Besides persons who've had experiences
with interns, there will be those who
haven't. Cooperative Education began
these conferences three years agb with
just the field supervisors. But since last
year they've invited other community
members to attend. This has been successful in expanding Evergreen's cooperative
education resources.
Olympia Mayor Tom Allen will open the
conference with a welcoming address at 9
a.m. Following will be six workshops on
Evergreen's Cooperative Education program and academic curriculum.
The six afternoon workshops will focus
on the internship experience. Representatives from agencies which have employed
student interns will participate in panel

discussions. Among these representatives
will be Carolyn Keck of the Olympia
School District, Mayor Ernie Skala of
North Bonneville, Marveen Rohr of the
Department of Natural Resources and a
representative from the Pacific Science
Center.
Members of the coordinated studies
program, Law Makers/Law Breakers will
participate in a panel discussion of their
winter quarter internship activities.
Other workshops will include a presentation highlighting the cultural differences
between the traditional white community
and the Native American community and
a discussion of regulations and laws governing Affirmative Action.
In the current academic year, roughly
one-third of Evergreen's enrollment 750 students - have participated in the
internship program. In the past four
years, the Cooperative Education Office
has placed 2,300 interns in a wide variety
of internships in business, industry, education, social service and governmental
agencies.
GINSBERG CANCELLED
Allen Ginsberg has cancelled his
planned reading engagement at Evergreen
Saturday, May 17, due to an illness which
resulted in ' his hospitalization last week.
According to a spokesman for Ginsberg,
he is suffering from kidneY ' problems and
"exhaustion. "
BOYCOTT AT

U

OF W

The University of Washington is in the
midst of a two day walkout of classes in response to the firings of Juan Sanchez, director of the Chicano Division in the office
of Minority Affairs, and Gary Padilla, director of Chicano Studies, and the 15-day
suspension of Rosa Morales, a secretary in
Chicano Studies. The three were involved
in a confrontation in the office of Dean
Beckmann of the College of Arts and
Sciences on April 30.
The confrontation was sparked by the
elimination of Chicano candidates for an
associate dean position in the college, and
centers around alleged violations of the
University's Affirmative Action policy.
Since the firings. Roberto Garfias, the
only Chicano full professor at the U of W,
resigned in protest. As of Tuesday, the
first day of the walkout, 41 professors,
administrators, and staff members have
joined Garfias' action,
The walkout action was initiated by the
University's t Mexican-Chicano Association (MECHA) and is supported by the
other Third World Coalitions on campus,
the ASUW Board of Controls, the Daily,
and many individuals from the U and sur, rounding community.
Instead of attending classes, the
students, staff, and administrators who
have walked out are listening to speeches,
and music in their Red Square.

Each of us has several roles to play some have more than others. Presently
"The student" is the primary role most of
us are participating in. Another facet in
that role is the "working student." Most
work-study jobs at Evergreeri occupy 15
hours per week of a student's time. Time
which others devote to study, student activities involvement or playing.
But other students here fulfill yet another demanding role - one of parents.
And in that set of responsibilities another
dimension emerges - that of being a
single parent.
"Being a single parent at Evergreen
you can't just take off for the beach," says
Director of Evergreen's Driftwood Day
Care Center Bennie Gillis. "You can't just
say goodbye to it all at some point. You've
always got that child there. The release
that single students have - the release
that married students have by saying
'here you take them for a while,' - single
parents don't have. I consider their position to be one of continuous stress."
This Saturday a Community Conference
Concerning Single Working Student Parents and Children will be held at the college. While the issues in the conference
are addressed to single parents they also
provide an opportunity for all students to
become aware of the unique needs, problems and situations of single parents - a
role more and more of us come to choose
during our lives.
The conference will include panel discussions, workshops, featured speakers
and free child care.

"One of the central issues for parents in
deciding to return to school is 'who will
take care of my child?' - for most mothers
. would not be able to return to college
without low-cost day care," says the recently released Disappearing Task Force
(DTF) on Daycare.

DTFReport
Presently, priority is given to the lowincome single parent families at the Driftwood Day Care Center. According to the
report, "even their need is being met with
difficulty not only in terms of enrollment,
but in terms of particular time blocks.
Because of the limited facilities and staff,
scheduling is a problem which allows little
or no flexibility for the parents." However, student parents are asked not to
sign up for more than 18 hours per week.
Gillis points out this causes problems for
parents attempting to participate in fulltime internships.
The report continues, "In general, no
allowance can be made for weekly variations in student parents' schedules. This
creates problems not only for the student
parent but also for other students and
faculty since the rejected child then ends
up in the seminar, lecture hall, or at the
movie."
~urrently, non~ of the child care needs
of staff, faculty or administrators can be
met at Driftwood.
WeHare RestrietioD8

Also, if the student/parent is on welfare, no · money is allotted for child care

unless she/he is enrolled at a technical
school (such as OVTI) or a two-year community college. The emphasis is on obtaining a "skill" and four year colleges are exempt.
Janie Goforth, a single parent who utilizes Driftwood gives her perception of
parenthood. "I really want it to be a
joyous thing. Sometimes you just get so
burned out from doing everything that it
turns into a burden. And it happens a lot
of the time because I'm the only one
~here ... I'm responsible for the whole
gig."
Time for ChDdreD

"You need time for yourself to be a person," says Janie. "Then there's got to be
time for your children, for school, for eating and sleeping and just the logistics of
living and getting everybody where they
need to go. For example, Tony (her son)

goes to eleme ntary school. Jessie
(daughter) goes to the Day Care Center
and I go to school here. So the logistics of
just getting us where we need to go and
then back again is so time consuming . . ."
Not to mention time to study.
Beth Harris. one of the organizers of the
conference. pointed out another source of
pressure single parents encounter.
"In programs they make demands on
you that don't take into account that you
also have to take care of your children like last minute kind of changes in scheduling or projects. The institution isn't reaUy conscious that you're serving a role in
the institution."
Janie reiterated, "There's just so much
pressure brought to bear. I felt I couldn't
keep up with the academic load . . . I just
couldn't devote five hours a night to studying. And I couldn't seem to get through to
faculty people about the problem. They
seemed to have their home trips together
where they -had a wife who took care of
the children, and laundry and cooking.
That really bothered me - they weren't
conscious that school is just one of the
trips that I'm doing - it's an important
one - but there's so many other things I
have to be doing too."
Non·parent Coneern

Beth at first expressed some doubts
about becoming involved in the conference
because she is not a parent.
"In a way I consider since I don't have
children I still have a responsibility to
them . . . just because I'm human and I
live in a community."
She continued, "That was a really difficult thing for me to realize because I had
to deal with the fact that if you choose not
to have children can you choose not to be
responsible for them?"
The conference is free and everyone is
encouraged to attend.

There is a pressure exerting itself on

itse lf through the ever increasing number
of cQalitions.
.
T'ne pressure comes from the conflict
between maintaining cultural uniqueness
with the exclusiveness that it requires and
merging in to what still has to be called
the old melting pot.
Lou;t fall when Boston turned into a battleground this problem showed itself in all
of its gory reality. It showed a very unusua l paradox at work. After giving this
some thought I can only conclude that the
goa ls of many of our various coalitions
are very similar to those of the Irish in
South Boston.
I :;ay this because it seems to me that in
ordt'r for a cu lture to maintain its l\,niqueness, the people of it have to live together
following the traditions of their ancestors.
If this is the case there m~st be some geogr~lphic limitations involved.
PI good example of these geographic
boundaries is the city of Milwaukee. Milwaukee has very distinct Polish, Serbian,
Croatian, German and Black districts.
I find this kind of thing very nice and
quaint of course, but it seems that it only
encourages racism. The hatreds that existed one hundred years ago in Europe are
still very much alive in Milwaukee. So in
the name of cultural identity and uniquen e~;s we should all if we really believe in it
support the Irish cause in South Boston.
Who can say that things won't be very
different when 1,000 blacks are bussed to
South Boston High? The whole neighborhood would change . I thin'k for the better
but try telling them that. They don't want
bla cks in their schools anymore than the
bla cks in Harlem want neighborhood Klu
Klux Klan chapters.
People are becoming more and more
a lienated. Everyone is forming their own

Before long all this place will be is a central office space for every conceivable

goes to eleme ntary school. Jessie
(daughter) goes to the Day Care Center
and I go to school here. So the logistics of
just getting us where we need to go and
then back again is so time consuming . . ."
Not to mention time to study.
Beth Harris. one of the organizers of the
conference. pointed out another source of
pressure single parents encounter.
"In programs they make demands on
you that don't take into account that you
also have to take care of your children like last minute kind of changes in scheduling or projects. The institution isn't reaUy conscious that you're serving a role in
the institution."
Janie reiterated, "There's just so much
pressure brought to bear. I felt I couldn't
keep up with the academic load . . . I just
couldn't devote five hours a night to studying. And I couldn't seem to get through to
faculty people about the problem. They
seemed to have their home trips together
where they -had a wife who took care of
the children, and laundry and cooking.
That really bothered me - they weren't
conscious that school is just one of the
trips that I'm doing - it's an important
one - but there's so many other things I
have to be doing too."
Non·parent Coneern

Beth at first expressed some doubts
about becoming involved in the conference
because she is not a parent.
"In a way I consider since I don't have
children I still have a responsibility to
them . . . just because I'm human and I
live in a community."
She continued, "That was a really difficult thing for me to realize because I had
to deal with the fact that if you choose not
to have children can you choose not to be
responsible for them?"
The conference is free and everyone is
encouraged to attend.

"Potential Exists"

In the Apri l 17, 1975 Working Climate
DTF report , Presi dent Cha rles McCann
wrote , " . .. Some stu·dents may need
help in learning to deal directly with their
faculty sponsors and advisors, and the
Ombuds l Advocates office might be able
to give that 'help . But we have heard the
facu lty concern is that as this office now
operates it sets up an adversary model for
facu lty / staff-student relationships, . contributes to the image of faculty and admini stra tors, as a group , as being out to
cheat students, and threatens to interpose
itself as a third party between students
and facult y ."
Vice- president Ed Kormondy was somewhat gentler: "I wouldn't go so far as to
say what C ha rlie has, but the potential
for that sort of fee ling was, at first, evident in the minds of certain viewers. It
see ms tha t some Evergreen people are
rather short-sighted as to what we're
abo ut as an academi c institution. "
Kormondy went on to say, "If the Ombuds / Advoca tes office takes that point of
view, I'll go to the wa ll w ith them any
time. My main co ncern is the we-they
camps po tential , that could result in their
becoming adversaries, as opposed to advocates. That potential exis ts in any advocacy situati·o n, but I hope it won't be
exp ressed in adversary term s. That's
necessary so met imes, but often <;auses
more wou nds than a n advocacy system
does ."
According to the statement of purpose
of the O mbud s l Advoca tes office, the
agency is to "edu ca te the com munity as to
their righ ts, obli gations, and interests as
re la ted to and defined by th e COG docum e nt, Adm ini s t rative Code, Faculty
Handbook, Social Co ntract, and the Affirmative Ac ti o n po li cy of The Evergreen
State Coll ege ."
St udent Bev Feuer, who has worked
with the office since it started last summer, adds, "We' re rea ll y here to facilitate
their legwo rk . We do n't lead them by the
ha nd through th e chann els of governa nce,
,b ut we ca n advise them in their use of
those channe ls."
"We've made ourselves into a governa nce o rg a ni za ti o n ," 'e xp la in s Feuer.
"T he·re a re tW0 sides to the office: the advocates seek ou l prob lems a nd try to facil it a te indi vid ual resolution. The ombudsmen are the office's ex perts at the governance sys tem, the ones who collect documenb anJ heco me know ledgeab le about
the lega l workings of the schoo l. The go ver na nte process can be very hard to use
- there' s a lflt of red tape ."

May 15,1975
Advocate Denise Shepard pointed out
another facet of the office's endeavor:
"The student body has no unifying factor.
They're being split up so they're easier to
control. There has to be a student union
- administrative power has to be taken
out of the hands of a few, and students
should be heard ."
Similarly, advocate Mary Ann Yockulic
said, "Advocates have to represent student interests where other people don't.
Students are a minority, and what is
really needed is a student union. We have
to perform in a way that doesn't take students' power away, and teach them to use
power themselves. You could sort of summarize it by saying that some of us want
to be an information resource and direct
students to solve their own problems, and
some of us want to use that information
to solve the students' problems for them."
Of the 24 cases handled by the office
this year, the two best-publicized are the
Chuck Harbaugh hiring controversy and
the disenrollment of Student Jerome
Byron.
Kormondy, looking back on the Harbaugh episode which took place last November, comments, "One aspect of that
situation, as regards the Ombudsl Advocates office, is that their organization and
protocol wasn't really lined up yet, and
there tended to be some harassment of the
dean.s by members of the office. They
kept asking the same questions, asking for
the same documents. That created a bad
feeling - the redundancy of effort developed a negative attitude. But I feel
that's pretty much corrected itself. They're
learning that there are ways to dispute
and s.till be friends. Given their six-plus
months of experience, at least from what I
can tell, it would appear that the office
has gotten organized, developed processes
for followup and followth rough."
Student Carlos Rose-White, member of
the All-Campus Hearing Board, voiced
agreement with Kormondy. " They're
changing a lot. The people in that office
don't have much internal organization,
really haven't decided on how to act.
They're still working on trying to figure
that out . They'll have to change until they
do figure that out, and, hopefully, stop at
that point."
Rose -White feels ,that they "could be a
workable student service, if the rest of the
institution wants it. There are different
levels of competency, and finding their
role in society is going to be difficult.
Right now the institution we're dealing
with is not the institution originally conceived. The institution as it is stifles any
real student control. At WSU, for instance, there's a student on the Soard of
Trustees, and I imagine there's one on the
Board of Trustees of the U of W , too . But
here, no way!"
John Moss, director of personnel and
a uxiliary services, feels that the office's
main weak point is what he ca lls "their
narrow perspective - they don't really
get the whole picture. My experience with

13

President McCann
the office is limited, but I've found with
most students that if you can explain your
actions to them ' - expose them to a bigger perspective - they'll understand.
They may not like your actions, but
they'll understand, · and can accept them
more easily . I have nothing against student p ~r ticipation , or democracy , or
whatever you want to call it. I just wish it
could happen. It seems like everyone here
is trying to reinvent the wheel - we keep
changing and changing, but there's not as
muc~ progress as I'd like in intergroup
communication."
The office printed a memo to the community in the Journal May 8, 1975 stating, "The Ombudsl Advocates office will
not submit a budget proposal to the S&A
Board for the 1975 - 1976 academic year.
We will not compete with other studentfunded groups for monies which we feel
should be allocated through a more democratic process."
"We were," says Feuer, "asking for support from the community to show what
we feel is the bis. problem on campus : the
lack of community. There is no real community here, and there never was. If we
can solve the larger problems, we'll be
helping all individual members of the
community ."
Student John Foster, coordinator of the
office, comments, "Each student must act
.as his own advisor under the present system, and we're set up to solve that. We
deal with governance problems related to
fac ulty- staff-administration -student interaction. "
Staff member Bill Knauss, who is curren tly serving on the Hearing Board Procedures DTF, feels that the ombudsmen/
advocates are a valid part of Evergreen's
governa ncy system: "My attitude toward
them is favorable . I think they've been
useful in clarifying some things that need
to be worked on in college governance
documents and procedures ."
But fac ulty member Russ Lidman, who
also serves on the DTF, says he's ex per-

ienced "some sour dealings" with them .
And he feels that, during an earlier case,
"they intervened needlessly in all our proceedings and attempted manipulation of
the COG document. But it was their first
case, and they were a little hardnosed
about it.OThey subsequently apologized. I
think it's fine if their purpose is to facilitate. But there are be.t ter ways to do that
than obstaclt! tactics."
Another member of the DTF, faculty
member Peggy Dickinson, was even more
blunt. In a January 20, 1975 memo to student Burnell Hill, Dickinson stated, " ...
Our experience at the December 4 meeting, where discussion among the members
of the board was prevented by the monopolizing of the meeting by two boy!>
from the advocates office, Doug Ellis and
Spider Burbank, has convinced me that
closed deliberations are the only means of
reaching a de~ision . . . I think it was Albert Camus who wrote, in The Fall, 'some
men will climb upon the cross in order to
be seen from a greater distance.'"
In keeping with its controversiality, the
office is internally divided over its philosophy. As adv.ocate David Vineberg explained, "One theory is to be elitist - to
completely take over cases brought to us,
take them out of the hands of the students. The other theory is to support and
guide the students through the school's
grievance procedures. I see my position as
trying to help the students come together,
not separate them . It's the elitists who
separate students. My idea of college,"
Vineberg continued, "is to study and to
learn to work with other people, not
against them. We should encourage students to use their own power, not use it
for them in their names."

about it.OThey subsequently apologized. I
think it's fine if their purpose is to facilitate. But there are be.t ter ways to do that
than obstaclt! tactics."
Another member of the DTF, faculty
member Peggy Dickinson, was even more
blunt. In a January 20, 1975 memo to student Burnell Hill, Dickinson stated, " ...
Our experience at the December 4 meeting, where discussion among the members
of the board was prevented by the monopolizing of the meeting by two boy!>
from the advocates office, Doug Ellis and
Spider Burbank, has convinced me that
closed deliberations are the only means of
reaching a de~ision . . . I think it was Albert Camus who wrote, in The Fall, 'some
men will climb upon the cross in order to
be seen from a greater distance.'"
In keeping with its controversiality, the
office is internally divided over its philosophy. As adv.ocate David Vineberg explained, "One theory is to be elitist - to
completely take over cases brought to us,
take them out of the hands of the students. The other theory is to support and
guide the students through the school's
grievance procedures. I see my position as
trying to help the students come together,
not separate them . It's the elitists who
separate students. My idea of college,"
Vineberg continued, "is to study and to
learn to work with other people, not
against them. We should encourage students to use their own power, not use it
for them in their names."

These are the recommendations made
by the members of the Quinault II retreat
on long-range curriculum planning. These
are only the recommendations, nothing
final. Meetings began Wednesday morning to discuss their findings and it was decided to meet in the deans groups (alpha,
beta, et al) to continue the discussions. To
find out when these meetings will be held ,
contact your faculty person or call the secretaries of the deans. The meetings are
open to everyone.
We must point out, these are the recom mendations (and only part of them). There
is a complete report with the philosophy
and reasoning behind the recommendations available. Copies may be found at
the circulation desk of the library. in the
lobby of dorm A, at the info center and by
asking around.

1) A moratorium should be placed on
the consideration of graduate study at
Evergreen: we must first be sure that we
are dOing all we can for our undergraduates.
2) Modules must continue to be developed primarily out of a sincere concern for
the undergraduate student, and only secondarily out of a sense of service to the
surrounding community, due to the scarcity of our resources. At the same time,
we recognize that it is desirable and necessary to emphasize the finding of better
ways to use the part:time modes we have
for the education of the Evergreen staff,
including modules, part-time participation
in programs, and part-time participation
in contracts.
The age of receiving academic credit for

experiencing experience is over. Facility
in reading, writing, and analysis must be
developed in all academic work, in both
programs and contracts.
Curriculum Planning and Continuity
One of the most useful exercises in
which Evergreen faculty can engage, recognizing our commitment to interdisciplinary teaching, is the planning and articu lation of coordinated studies programs
and interdisciplinary group contracts,
whether or not these are actually implemented. We should, for the sake of the
art, engage in this exercise regularly in all
events.
Had we committed ourselves to this as a
formally prescribed aspect of our program
of faculty growth and development, we
would have been able, in addition, to plan
a significant portion of our academ~c offerings in longer range perspective than has
so far been possible .
Therefore, we recommend that there be
added to the criteria for faculty evaluation
and retention that it be a responsibility of
all faculty to participate in the designing
of at least one basic and one advanced coordinated studies program or interdisciplinary group contract per , year, and that
these designs be made part of faculty portfolios, subject to annual review according
to standing procedures with respect to
faculty evaluation and retention.
Many coordinated studies programs and
group contracts may then be planned and
advertised a year in advance, subject to
the discretionary wisdom of the academic
deans. These will include both newly designed offerings and offerings we agree to
repeat.

1) When a skill is needed by everyone
in a program, it is the program's responsibility to arrange for its development.
Where workshops and similar learning ve hicles can appropriately be opened to
people outside the program, this should be
announced as far in advance as possible.
2) We also need to guarantee that t he
means of obtaining a variety of basic skills,
particularly in expressive, verificational,
and analytical techniques, should be offered regularly for those not acquiring
them directly in programs. This should be
one of the functions of the Academic Dean
at the Curriculum Desk. Depending on the
skill in question , the dean might arrange
that this be taught by faculty, staff, students, or members of the community. The
methods should include modules, SPLU's,
LSC, workshops, and the opening up of
program lectures and workshops, when
appropriate, to students from outside of
ongoing programs. Examples of basic
skills modules that might be offered on a
regular basis include: music theory; dance
techniques; use of visual -arts media; use
of basic media tools ; computer pr ogramming; "math for the uninclined;" pre-calculus math; statistics; general chemistry ;
organic chemistry; survey of physics; surveying skills (i. e. , public opinion sampling).
3) We should move the instructiolJ of
basic media skills into modules. workshops, and/or LSC offerings, and remove
this instruction from its position as the
focal point of any coordinated studies programs.
4) We urge the educational use of
media in all programs as a means to enrich
and demonstrate student understanding

of the focal problems, projects, or themes
of coordinated studies or interdisciplinary
group contracts.
Deans and Faculty - We recommend
that the deans recommit themselves to
fulfilling their desk functions relative to
offering counsel in one of the four divisional areas: specifically, to oversee curriculum development. At the present time,
two deans are assigned to the desk for
Humanities! Arts Counsel; they must resolve this situation so that one dean will
cover each area. In order for the deans to
fulfill these ' functions, faculty members
must commit themselves to relieving the
deans of a significant amount of routine
administration work_
Students - Consistent and formal, mechanisms should be developed for students
to become involved in identifying critical
issues and problems they feel should be incorporated' into program planning. (This
statement was not agreed to by all members of the Quinault II Task Force_ A minority report, explaining the reasons for
disagreement, is attached to this paper.)
Which we did not have room to include,
however, it is available with the rest of
the renort.
Advising - While reaffirming our commitmer.t to the fundamental role of coordinated studies as an extremely important
part of a student's Evergreen education
(see P. 13 of the 1975 - 76 Supplement),
we reassert that Evergreen shall have no
specific modal or disciplinary requirements for its students to meet. Given the
absence-of these kinds of requirements, it
is essential that faculty pay cal'eful attention to their responsibilities for advising
students about curricular choices. We
therefore reaffirm that it is a primary responsibility of all faculty members to give
continuing academic advisement to the
group of students for whom they are responsible. (The details of assigning students to faculty members are to be
worked out by the existing DTF on academic advisement.) The quality of this advice should be addressed in student evaluations of faculty members, and s~ould be
among the criteria for faculty retention
given in the Faculty Handbook.
Other recommendations intended to
support good advising at Evergreen include the following:
1) The full -time Coordinator of Academic Information should be reinstated in
the 06 Budget to aid faculty and deans in
their responsibility of advising students_
2) All Supplement copy describing coordinated studies programs and interdisciplinary group contracts should indicate
clearly within its narrative which traditional disciplines will .be used to understand the problem or project around
which the program is built; and, certainly,
no student should consider enrolling in a
coordinated studies program without
having carefully read all of the Su pple-

mentcopy_
3) All copies of the faculty expertise
survey (meant, when it was compiled,
mainly as an aid for students in selecting
individual contract sponsors). now included in the Geoduck Cookbook, should
be recalled and destroyed by a public
burning on Red Square. It is an embarrassment to all _of us_ If a new survey is
done, it must be carefully monitored. It
must be accurate and realistic.
Additional Curricular Recommendations
1) We strongly support Cooperative
Education, which we believe is one of the
College's most vital and essential methods
of learning.
2) In keeping with the reaffirmation of
our commitment to interdisciplinary
learning, it is clear that interethnic and intercultural concerns must be met within
the curriculum. Offerings labeled "Black ,"
"Brown ," "Red," or "Yellow" studies are
less important than the recognition that
knowledge is multiracial and interethnic_
Thus Evergreen should offer only academic work conceived on the basis of this
Jrecognition and designed to advance it.
This is necessary to ensure the kind of
education for aU of us that is as complete
and truly diverse as possible. Therefore,
we recommend that the Academic Deans
be responsible for the implementation and
monitoring of the program planning and
faculty assignment sections of the NonWhite DTF Report, which we feel to be
part of the quality control of all academic
offerir.g-s _
3) The fe minist perspective should not
be compartmentalized into women's studies programs at Evergreen. Women's
studies program~ have grown on campuses where there is little or no interdisciplinary study ; they'v(' provided an interesting alternative on these campuses in
more ways than one, then. They've grown
on campuses where women faculty are
few and powerless and where departmental structures keep them apart . We have
no need for something called "women's
studies" on a continuing basis_ What we
have a need for is a recognition on the part
of women and men faculty that we have a
unique opportunity to bring a feminist
perspective to all that we study and teach
and that we should not avoid presenting
that perspective nor should we apologize
for it. We owe it, as educators, to all of our
women students to help them prepare for
lives and careers in a sexist society and tQ
provide support for women students to
achieve their full potentiaL We can't do
t hat by isolating a few women a year into
something called women's studies. There
will be times when we must design programs which will deal with questions
about t he human condition of particular
concern to women. We need to know that
the Deans (whoever they may be) will
support such programs _ That must be a
continuing commitment.
4) We see t he performin g arts as
havi ng an esse nt ial role in t he ~vergreen

curriculum. The performing arts faculty
should put together a careful analysis of
their view of the performing arts at Evergreen in the context of statements of the
Quinault II committee about what Evergreen is and should be. This statement
should then be used as a basis for a campus-wide discussion_
5) Foreign language instruction has
been a .subject of concern since Evergreen's planning year, but has never developed beyond being an appendage of the
cut riculum . The ideal method for teaching
languages, as well as the thoroughness of
interdisciplinary learning, demands that
foreign languages become fully integrated
into the curriculum. We therefore propose
the implementation of these models:
a) Two coordinated studies programs
each year should plan to use foreign language as an integral part of their activities_ (For example, Russian and Italian
were offered in "Interplay of the Arts,"
and some other students from that program studied French and German.)
b) Each year, an emphasis should be
placed on one language which would be
. taught intensively -for one to three quar- ·
ters, together with other aspects of ·a ·
country or geographical area. (Excellent :
examples are "Japan and the West" and .
"XequiqueL")
.
c) Each summer, total immersion pro- ·
grams should be offered using the model ·
of this summer's program (1975), "France
entre le guerres" (if it works)_ Next year,
Spanish could be offered along with
French, and each summer thereafter more
lan'g uages could be offered.
6) Beyond these concerns, there remains a big gap in our broad curriculum
itself. We recognize that the history and
location of Ev:ergreen place a special responsibility on us to develop imaginative
curricular offerings centered on-issues of
business and public affairs, a responsibility we have yet to meet . We therefore
urge interested and qualified faculty to
design and submit such offerings with all
deliberate speed_
7) With respect to the flexibility of:
Evergreen's curriculum, the Quinault:
Task Force discussed the need to continue
to provide educational opportunities to:
people unable to attend college on a dailybasis_ We recommend that the Academic
Deans and faculty mount off-campus pro-·
grams comparable ill nature to those offered on campus_ They should proceed
cautiously to establish two or three regular external programs in any given acade mic year, but with clearly stated posit ions as to what we can offer, whom we
can ser ve , and how long we can commit
Evergreen's resources to any particular
program.
Finally, in looking toward the future,
the Task Force recommends that the Provost charge a small group to look into the
possibilities of switching to the semester
sys tem and to twelve-month operation_
These might be interesting options for
Evergree n.

on campuses where women faculty are
few and powerless and where departmental structures keep them apart . We have
no need for something called "women's
studies" on a continuing basis_ What we
have a need for is a recognition on the part
of women and men faculty that we have a
unique opportunity to bring a feminist
perspective to all that we study and teach
and that we should not avoid presenting
that perspective nor should we apologize
for it. We owe it, as educators, to all of our
women students to help them prepare for
lives and careers in a sexist society and tQ
provide support for women students to
achieve their full potentiaL We can't do
t hat by isolating a few women a year into
something called women's studies. There
will be times when we must design programs which will deal with questions
about t he human condition of particular
concern to women. We need to know that
the Deans (whoever they may be) will
support such programs _ That must be a
continuing commitment.
4) We see t he performin g arts as
havi ng an esse nt ial role in t he ~vergreen

curriculum. The performing arts faculty
should put together a careful analysis of
their view of the performing arts at Evergreen in the context of statements of the
Quinault II committee about what Evergreen is and should be. This statement
should then be used as a basis for a campus-wide discussion_
5) Foreign language instruction has
been a .subject of concern since Evergreen's planning year, but has never developed beyond being an appendage of the
cut riculum . The ideal method for teaching
languages, as well as the thoroughness of
interdisciplinary learning, demands that
foreign languages become fully integrated
into the curriculum. We therefore propose
the implementation of these models:
a) Two coordinated studies programs
each year should plan to use foreign language as an integral part of their activities_ (For example, Russian and Italian
were offered in "Interplay of the Arts,"
and some other students from that program studied French and German.)
b) Each year, an emphasis should be
placed on one language which would be
. taught intensively -for one to three quar- ·
ters, together with other aspects of ·a ·
country or geographical area. (Excellent :
examples are "Japan and the West" and .
"XequiqueL")
.
c) Each summer, total immersion pro- ·
grams should be offered using the model ·
of this summer's program (1975), "France
entre le guerres" (if it works)_ Next year,
Spanish could be offered along with
French, and each summer thereafter more
lan'g uages could be offered.
6) Beyond these concerns, there remains a big gap in our broad curriculum
itself. We recognize that the history and
location of Ev:ergreen place a special responsibility on us to develop imaginative
curricular offerings centered on-issues of
business and public affairs, a responsibility we have yet to meet . We therefore
urge interested and qualified faculty to
design and submit such offerings with all
deliberate speed_
7) With respect to the flexibility of:
Evergreen's curriculum, the Quinault:
Task Force discussed the need to continue
to provide educational opportunities to:
people unable to attend college on a dailybasis_ We recommend that the Academic
Deans and faculty mount off-campus pro-·
grams comparable ill nature to those offered on campus_ They should proceed
cautiously to establish two or three regular external programs in any given acade mic year, but with clearly stated posit ions as to what we can offer, whom we
can ser ve , and how long we can commit
Evergreen's resources to any particular
program.
Finally, in looking toward the future,
the Task Force recommends that the Provost charge a small group to look into the
possibilities of switching to the semester
sys tem and to twelve-month operation_
These might be interesting options for
Evergree n.

Poin~:

A chapter of Amnesty International has
opened on the Evergreen campus. Amnesty International is a worldwide humanitarian organization. It works for the release of ."Prisoners of Conscience," people
who are imprisoned for religious, politiical, or any other conscientiously held beliefs, and who have not advocated or
used violence. Amnesty International has
been in existence si nce 1961; and there are
now over 1,000 section groups in more
'tha n 60 countries, linked together by na tional headquarters.
The Evergreen chapter of A. I. is now
working for the releas of two political
prisoners. One is a student in Tunisia
who has been sentenced to three years in
lfrison for publically expressing views in
opposition to ' those of his government.
The' other is a woman in East Germany
who is in prison because she attempted to
leave the country .
• The main work of Amnesty Internatiemal is in sending letters to high government and prison offic ials in the prisoner's

On Thursday, May 22, the Revolutionary Student Brigade w ~1I be sponsoring a
teach·· in on the Mid-East. Although the
victories of Cambodia and Vietnam are
still in the minds of everyone, why must
we take up the question of a danger of a
new war at this time? During the last several months, the T. V. anq newspapers
have been filled with threats by Ford and
Kissinger to 'intervene in the Mid-East if
the oil producers do not obey the commandments of the United States. The current economic crisis is being blamed on
the Arabs and racist propaganda about
them has been ' assailing us in the media.
While the Indochinese were scoring victories against the United States 'and the
government tried to cover its defeat with
its orphan "program" and "bloodbath"
lies, its designs for the Mid-East did not
evaporate. These were merely eliminated
from the front page coverage. One of the
first sta tements Rockefeller made after the
liberation of Vietnam was to the effect
that the American people must not draw
the "wrong lesson" from Vietnam - the
American government will not shirk, he
says, from its respons.ibility to defend
American interest abroad, by intervention
anywhere .
The Mid-East has become a key area
for imperialist contention and aggression
and a focal point for peoples' liberation
struggles . On the one side are the two
superpowers, the United States and the
U.S.S . R., for control of the oil-rich Per-'
sian Gulf, and on the other is the struggle
of the Palestinian people to regain their
homeland from the Zionist Israel. Not

Once the capital of South Vietnam, Saigon bubbled with excitement. People ran
all over the city seeking escape. The black
market did great business selling tickets of
portage through ships and planes. Every
wealtny or upper class citizen did their
best to secure a seat to safety. The Buddhists sat peacefully watching and laughing at the exodus before them .
In six weeks South Vietnam was red~ced to a city-state. Hanoi's troops were
enjoying the game of Finders Keepers,
Losers Weepers following the hasty retreat
southward of the ARVIN forces. A
massive Communist host had closed in on
Saigon from all sides with staggering
speed and lay waiting after abruptly halting its advance. This lull meant that
Saigon had one last chance to avoid total
military defeat; it could form a new
"peace government" acceptable to the
Communists and surrender.
For four hours, sweating Graham
Martin, U.S. Ambassador to South Vietnam, tried vai~ly to reach South Vietnam's President, Nguyen Van Thieu, on
the telephone.
"Dammit. Thieu, answer your phone I
This is an emergency. What would he be
doing at a time like this?" Martin asked,
slamming down the receiver.
General Wes Mor Lan, acting commander of the town militia who was also
trying to ge.t through to' Thieu replied,
"Our watchers at the palace say that he is
too busy packing to do anything else. He
hasn't slept or eaten for three days."
"Packing? Packing what7" questioned
Martin.
.
"Oh, he has plenty of things to pack.
Independence Palace is crammed full with
all of the goods he has accumulated from
dealings with foreign merchants. Radios
and cameras from Japan, wool sweaters
from Australia, ivory knickknacks carved
in the Philippines, toasters made by General Electric, a whole line of Sears sportswear and golfing accessories, 250 cases of
Coca-Cola, pinball machines and pool
tables, 30 family gift certificates to

McDonald's, and 600 pay telephones from
ITT . You name it and he's got it in the
palace for packing," finished the general.
"So that is what he's doing. Thousands
trying desperately to leave and here he is
taking it all with him. We'd better get
down there right away and make sure
that he saves me the sports wear," said
the ambassador.
Motioning to an aide, they left for the
palace ' in a black Cadillac. Tension was
mounting; they had received word that
the Viet Cong's representatives in Paris
had given Thiel,! exactly 48 hours to reo
sign or Saigon would be leveled.
"We've got to convince him to forget
all these goods and resign. He must leave
with · what he has packed. Call the
Deputies, the Senators, the judiciary, and
the top generals and have them meet at
the palace. He cannot refuse all of us,"
the ambassador said.
General Wes Mor Lan placed several
short calls from the car phone. Finishing
as they went through the palace gates he
assured Martin, "They will all be here in
a few minutes."
Quickly they trotted to the door and
showing their 10's were admitted. Every
room was fiUed with crates and boxes.
Orderlies ran back and forth. Hysters
moved piles outside to be picked up by
helicopters and taken to a'mi!itary transport.
,
"Thieu, Theiu," the ambassador shouted,
"Where in the hell are you?"
"Up here," came a toneless voice audible from upstairs.
Hurrying up the stairs, they found the
President personally overseeing the crating
of his millions in gold bullion:
"We have got to talk to you alone,"
pleaded the ambassador, "Please, the rest
will be here soon."
With the patience of a mother hen tending her chicks, Thieu reluctantly motioned
the men to another room where they
could speak in private.
"Yes. What do you want? I have little
time to waste with you gentlemen," Thieu

snapped. " If it is about resigning you can
save your breath. I will not step dowp
until I have packed everything," he said,
turning away from the men and to the,
window overlooking bustling Saigon.
"Let's be reasonable, Nguyen . You
know what will happen if you insist on
staying in office. Isn't there some way
that we could make a deal?"
The ambassador's voice contained a
tone of compromise. Realizing' his opportunity, the President faced the men with
renewed interest.
"We have a Lear Jet you can use plus
the transpo'h for your things but you
must resign immediately," blurted the ambassador, "And a ... I get the sports
wear," he added.
"Y ou men know that I am a man of
high principles and would never think of
such a thing to save myself and forget my
goods (pause) . , . but I am very understanding and I will take it," concluded the
President.
"That's using the old American knowhow. You won't be sorry that you have
chos~m this course of action. All that you
have to do is announce you're resigning
before the assembly and then it's 'Switzerland here you come,'" the ambassador
happily proclaimed.
Minutes later, in the courtyard, Thieu
addressed the hastily summoned officials.
"Hank Kissenger and the United States
are double crossers. The loss of U. S. aid
led to the defeat of my democratic nation .
Washington failed to fulfill promises it
made to keep South Vietnam free froUl
the dictatorship of communism." Tears
streaming down his cheeks and sobs
bursting for th repeatedly Thieu then announced: "I depart today. I ask my countrymen - the armed forces - and religious groups - to forgive my 'il'\istakes I
made while in power. The country and I
will be grateful to you. I am very undeserving. I am resigning, but I am not deserting. v
With this last statement he choked in
tears and sobs and was ushered into a
helicopter and zoomed off to the airport.
His succ~ssor, Vice President, Tran Van
Huong, approaching the platform to give
his acceptance speech, failed to negotiate
the last step. Tripping into the podium he
.was knocked unconscious and immediately
taken away for hospitalization.
Calmed quite considerably, Thieu
looked out the passenger window of his
Lear Jet. He was pleased watching the last
load of cargo being placed in the militapY
transport. He smiled as it took off safely
from the runway.
"Those eight years were nice while they
lasted," Thieu reflected, "But my time to
leave has come. I must look forward to a
prosperous future."
The Lear Jet's engines readied for
takeoff and Thieu relaxed leaning back in
the seat.
"I made it," he said with a sigh of re~
lief. The jet arched up over th~ Gulf ('.f

McCabe and Mrs. Miller
By FRANKIE FOSTER
These days when we watch a movie we
are used to the situation where the information is conveyed in a very direct way.
When the director wants us to know
something it's usually placed in the dialog. Films that are basically non-verbal
are rare , perhaps because dialog can save
a lot of explanatory screen time . And often film-makers are more concerned with
drama and plot than th ey are atmosphere
and mood.
McCabe and Mrs. Mi ller stands out as
o ne of few films to have both of these ingredients taken care of. Perhaps this is the
reason it is looked at by many as the
most realistic western ever made.
A key to understanding part of the
fi lm's importance to Amer ican Cinema is
in exa mining th e emphasis of Robert Altma n' s direction . First off is the set of
va lues that the film contains (sex, drugs,
cap italism , religion, etc.). A definite depa rture from films w here John Wayne
might be acting in place of Warren Beatty .

~; fill

'3Mon. thru f(i.

But even more im porta nt is Altman's
treatment of the dramatic material. The
best example being the shootout near the
end which actually has to compete for
audience attention wit h another scene
which is occurri ng simu lt aneously. Altman is consta ntly making us work to understand his T!1eaning. Also along these
lines is the use of overlapping dialog
which in so me cases is entirely unintelligible.
The photography has also been affected. Two years ago I talked with the
cin ematographer Vilmos Zigmond, who
explained how he had diffused many of
the interiors to soften the light and give
things more of a rugged-damp appearance . When the Hollywood producers saw
the distorted foo tage Altman had to tell
them th at it was just a mistake o n the
workprint and that the origina l was O. K.
The photography also made use of film
flashing to increase film ASA. and reduce

then, but is a standard practice now.
There are other factors that contribute
to the film's uniqueness. Leon Ericksen
who created the wings for Brewster McCloud, designed the construction of an
entire town for this film. The set was
built on location in British Columbia
where the fi lm was shot. And Leonard
Cohen's music seems to fit the location
and mood perfectly as if it had been written specificall'y for the film, which it
wasn't.
The film stars Warren Beatty and Julie
Christie who, perhaps, made use of their
personal friendship to deliver their believable yet mysterious performance as Miller
and McCabe. A lot of the other cast
members are easi ly recognisable from
M *A 'S*H and Brewster McCloud.
'. M~Cabe and Mrs. Mi ller, which was
or iginall y titled The Presbyterian Church
Wager, can probably be looked at as a
turning point in Altman's career. On one
side he was heavily into comedy with
M *A ~S' H and Brewster McCloud and on
the other side he seems to get more
serious and loses some of his impact in
films like Images , The Long Goodbye ,
Ca lifornia Split, and Thieves Like Us. His
new film Nashville has just been released,
but another McCabe is probably too
much to expec t.
.
McCabe will be shown Friday at 7 and
9:30 p.m., Saturday at 8 p .m. in Lee.
