Seattle is the place to go if you are
look ing fo r a classic Bicentennial celebrati on. The entire downtow n a rea bus service has been decla red free for the day to transport th e masses from various activities a t the Seattle Center and new Freeway Park to the night fireworks displays
at Elliott Bay and Greenlake.
An alternative to the official extravaganzas is the Fourth of July Coalition
gathering at Seattle's Seward Park, which
will focus on the problems of inequality
and unemployment in the U. S.
The people of Renton chose to not
spend a great deal of money on fireworks
for their observance and have resorted to
the next best thing . They have scheduled
a community-wide "seventy-six seconds
of noise."

Over a year ago KAOS -FM , the campus rad io sta tion, paid $50 for a rusted
and corroded surplus 1949 Air Force transmitter w hi ch lay in a poo l of water in the
basement of Seattle's KRAB-FM . Putting
the partially disassembled transmitter in
working o rder became a major project for
Lee Riback, Randy' Ha rrison, Bob Costell o, and Lee Chambers.
On June 1 the new transmitter finally
ca me into use, boosting KAOS's power
from a puny ten watts, which got about
as far as West Olympia, to 250 watts,
which means the station can sometimes be
heard from as far away as Seattle. The
Federal Communications Commission,
which gave the station authority for the
power increase, will inspect KAOS and
the new transmitt er soon.
KAOS first received its FCC broadcasting license in January of 1973, when it
began operating out of a couple of tiny
offices (its present main studio and record
room) with two ancient turntables dona ted by KGY in Olympia . The first song
KAOS played on the air was Dan Hick s'
"Success. " Over the last three-a nd -a -ha lf
years KAOS has tried to li ve up to tha t
first song. In additi on to an unusually
wide varie ty of musica l programm ing, the
statio n has present ed live coverage of
major speeches, festival s, a nd sympos iums
at Evergreen . Loca ll y taped concerts by
such fa mous artists as Jose Feliciano,
Keith Jarrett . Chick Corea a nd Return to
Forever, and the Gary Burton Qu intet
have been featured over the years.
The increase in listening a udience "will
automatically generate more responsibility
among staff members at the sta tion," sa id
KAOS station manager Carl L. Cook .
Cook wants to change "the old KAOS"
to a more community-oriented station.
"We're going to survey the community to
ascertain their ' needs as soon as possible,"
he said.
As part of its summer expansion KAOS
will broadcast live from the Capital Lakefair July 9, 10, and 11. Twelve hours of
progra mming are scheduled each day .
Live coverage of the Thurston County
Fair in August is also planned .
KAOS staff members are excited about
the prospects of having a radio station
with "real" listeners. Music Director John
S. Foster a nd Program Director Toni
Holm returned recently from the National
Alternative Radi o Conference Two
(NARC 2), w here the problems, ideas,
a nd philosophies of noncommercial stations were shared. "We're learning," Foster said, "but we're not trying to be 'professional. ' Professionalism is often commerciai s m. People shouldn' t try to emu late the commercial radio they've listened
to all their lives. We don't want to have
the trying- to -sell -you-something sound of
KZAM."
Former Program Director Stephen Rabow agreed . "You have no control over
what you listen to on AM radio. Gener ally it's the Top 100 singles that are given
exposure, . and because of the repetition
and routine in the music, it's very rare
that a ny of these records add to one's
growth of outlook."
Rabow believes AM radio divides the
population into two limited groups:
"country music for the rednecks and Top
40 for the tennyboppers. " He thinks FM

radio is only a little better. "The . selection
is almost as narrow . You've got hard
metal rock on one sta tion, progressive
country on a nother, 'and classical music
on a third. At KAOS there is an alternative. You can be creative. You can do
whatever you always wanted to do with a
radio."
T he staff is now recruiti ng people to
work at the station. T hey are especially
interested in increasing their news and
pub li c affairs coverage, "but a nyone with
ideas is welcome to join," said Carl L.
Cook . "They don't even have to be stu dent s'."
"They don't even have to have ideas,"
added John S. Foster. "We ca n brainwash
them."
Twenty new ' people are now taking
basic radio workshops from Lee Cham bers, with production workshops being
planned by Ca rl L. Cook.
The new programmers will have to
work hard to come up with something
completely new to KAOS . Shows in the
past have included "Coffee, Toast, and
Jamm, " featuring Carl L. Cook making
breakfast. "We held the microphone right
up to the sizzli n g bacon for specia l
effect,"Cook said .
Another weird show is Tom Hood's
"Radar Range," broadcast Monday night s
from midnight "till death or exhaustion ."
Hood's specialty is a sort of sou nd -collage .
He has been able to mix up to nine differ ent sound sources, resulting in what Hood
accurately ca lls "an aud io frenzy ." Other
wort hwhile shows include programs by
Lee Meist er, Kim McCartney, and Steve
Winniger, who all contribute to KAOS' s
generous dose of jazz. Laura Mae Abraham
and Walter Davis co- host an exce ll ent
public affairs show called " People to Pe o ple" each Monday at 7 p.m.
"That's diversity for you," said Stephen
Rabow . " KAOS-FM is one of the few
stations in the country where there's a
possibility of hearing, in one hour, sa lsa
music, Cajun music, bluegrass, classical ,
reggae, jazz, and rock.
" In this way," he continued, "radi o beco mes a n art form : of expre;sion, educa tion, and experiment. "
The KAOS - FM s ummer program
schedule will be printed in th e next iss ue
of The Cooper Point Journal.

The Tricentennial
and Beyond
by Stan Shore
There will be a war between
Earth and Mars. Not soon, of
course, but as surely as three
days from now will be the BicentenniaL there will be a war.
NEW TREND IN
CATALOG
SUPPLEMENT
T o the Editor :
I have been at thi s school for
two years . The 76 - 77 catalog
supplement has brought a new '
trend to my atten ti on. This trend
is m;,de ob vio us by the subject
subtit les fo ll ow ing the program
name in the li sting on pages six
and seven .
Th ere is not o ne course of
study th a t uses psychology or
sociol ogy as a subject subtitle.
Some even have two areas of
ma jo r emphasis. There are 'a lo t
of cou rses dea ling w ith socia l
science .
The d iffe rence between soci ology and social science is interestin g. Soc io logy looks at the pat tern s of behavior of a society .
Soc ial sc ience looks at the fun ctiol1 s of a society ,' with the individ ual observed as she or he rela tes to th e functions or the instituti o ns.
In sociology , socie ty ha s a per-
so na lit y. As individua ls we make'
up thac personality . It is as important to understand our society's personality as it is to understand our own individual personalities.
Socia l sc ience is important as
it illuminat es the rea liti es of '
power and economics. Psychol ogy a nd sociology keep a cl ose
eye o n what makes us happy.
We a ll know really what sci e nce is a ll a bout . At a time when
nothing was really known many
studies of nature and man lend
down roads that seemed to be
wideni ng. But those roads appeared to be wider o nl y to perpetuate themselves. They lead
down path s that go t narrower
and na rrower and more specific.
Science started looking like an ot her game . A way to make a
li ving . Scienti sts had to look
ove r their shoulders behind them
t o find any relation wi t h
research toward unfolding the
mystery of life .
Pictures, symbo ls floating by .
They can be so rigid as to al-
ways be w hat you expect them
to be. Then when you fall as leep
your emp hasis wande rs aro und
among the pictures and symbols,
picking o ut interesting o nes a nd
seeing how they relate with little
or no a tte ntion to how they were
develo ped from the symbols a nd
pictures around them .
The way th e mind uses the
brain in waking and sleeping is a
riddle, whose answer should help
us to look at some prett y nonmechanica l like things, such as
will a nd feelings as they were ,
part of the machinery .

PEER HUMILIATION
MORBID
To the Editor :
Whoever is responsible for the
gross insensitivity of staging a
cheerleaders' conference and a
young women's slimming camp
at Evergreen simultaneously for
the second summer in a
ought to be sent back to grammar school. For 'we who have
memories of the cr uelty t h a t
ado lesce nt s often ex hibit , the
p r ese n ce of th e two gro u ps
forced together is an insult to
our maturi ty as a college and to
some of us who h ope to spare a
newer generation the pain and
humiliatio n of unnecessary peer
rivalry. T he poor judgment is so
extre m e that one wonders if
those responsible are playi ng a
morbid joke, or are si mply too
ignorant to deserve their adult
stat us .

Americans for 200 years have
been torn betwee n the demands
for safety and the urge for freedo m . At Evergreen, we seem to
prefer freedom , w hile down the
way, at Fort Lewis, the preference is different. But on Ma rs!
Nothing will be ab le to keep
those colo nists from demanding
independence. Not at first - at
first the colo nists wi ll call th emse lves Americans, or Russians but in time th ey will grow used
to the Martian climate, a nd the
different celes ti al patterns at
night. T hey will grow secure in
their separation and begin to
think of the Martian soil as their
own . They will call themselves
the last great hope for mankind
and demand to negot ia te with
Earth fo r their minera ls as a
sove reig n nation.
On Ear th , the President will
refuse to be humiliated by our
own colony and everyo ne knows
how it w ill turn out after that.
Three hundred years from now
there will be a war between
Earth and Mars. But a t Ever gree n, the st uden ts w ill be rooting for Mars . If anything becomes a tradition at thi s school,
it w ill be support ing lost causes .
"We sold clam nectar," said Bob Selene,
"And we had more rainwater in the nectar than nectar. "
Lakefair is attended by over 100,000
people each year. The single largest attraction is the Grand Twilight Parade,
which last year drew a crushing 70,000
spectators from around the state,
One feature of the parade is the lakefair float , which has won eight majo r
awa rds in state parades. The float sym bolizes Lakefair 's theme , "Olympia 's
Proud Heritage: Our State Capitol." Each
of the four · buildings used since 1854 for
the state capit ol is featured on the float.
A nd what else would you find on a
float in Olympia but princesses?
The princesses are selected from community high schoo ls -to participate in a
rigo rous speaking tour of 14 local civic
gro ups. Secret judges watch the girls at
their speak ing engagemen ts and evalua te
th em by points.
The fina l points are accumulated when
eac h princess speaks at the corona tion itself. The princess wi th most points is
named queen. Every year the queen is announced in a different way. Last year a
boxcar door was ro lled back to reveal the
new queen 's name, pri nted in six foo t
hi gh letters.
If yo u do attend lakefair, leave some
room in your stomach for the food. Fred
Delore says the food is "the main attraction," and he should know. D elore is the
. chairman of the. more than 20 food concessions that boast suc h items as barbec ue d ribs spo n'sored b y the Amvets,
baco n and eggs - Thurston County Democra ts, cl am strips - Tumwater Jaycees,

From the time that America

had become a country was less
than 300 years . On Sunday, or
short ly thereafter, we will discover Mars - or rather we w ill
la nd our first ship o n Mars . At
first, we will inspect it to see if
there are any other inhabitants.
In gai ning America our fore fathers were willing to slaughter
human beings as if they were

Viking lands on the red planet, it
will have been prepared so as to
not harm even bacteria. And
Viking w ill search for any trace
of li fe that might be there.
But assuming there is no life
found , it will on ly be a matter of
time until the planet is colonized .
The f irs t American co lo n is t s
No doubt this so unds like convoluted logic, but 50 years from
now the students wa lking around
Evergreen w ill be used to the
idea of space colonization. It will
be a radical idea, the way free ing

maybe 100 years from now our
governme nt will begin serious
planning for colonization.

What single celebration would bring together a variety of foods and festivities
from a Fire Fighters Boogie to spiral
French fries, geoduck burgers and a fast
gun draw competition?
Olympia's biggest bash of the year, the
Capital lakefair, to be held July 9, 10 and
11 at Capitol lake.
lakefa ir has bee n desc ribed by one Everg reen student as "the o nly time I've ever
rea ll v fe lt a part of the Olympia community .
"It was the first tim e I've ever seen the
w hole town together to do anything ," the
stude nt sa id .
The sta ted goa l of Lakefair is to "provide a few days of fu n a nd fell owship to
• the co mmunity. "
Bob Sele ne, loca l civic leader a nd a
fo und er of lakefair, sa id tha t the a tmosphere at Lakefair really is different. "Nobody is serious . It's a happy time and you
can ta lk to an yone and everyone ."
Selling the bu tt ons tha t hel p finance the
fair is easier in an a tm osphere lik e that ,
Selene said . " You ca n corner them to bu y
a bu tt o n and harass and tease them in a
lig ht way - no other time of year could
you do that. "
Now in its 20th year as O lympia's num ber one communit y even t a nd tourist at traction, Lakefair began in 1956 during
the clean -up and development of Capitol
Lake, w hich was then more mud flat than
lake .
It rained the first year. But that didn't
discourage the seven men from the Young
Men' s Business Assoc iat ion. They had
started the fair w ith $700 left from O lym pia's centennia l celebration, a nd used it to

Here a t Evergreen the Bicentennial celebration is treated like
a fabulously wea lthy and ugly
old woman; more with embarrassment tnan pride. It is, after
a ll , the celebration of a war

The Tricentennial
and Beyond
by Stan Shore
There will be a war between
Earth and Mars. Not soon, of
course, but as surely as three
days from now will be the BicentenniaL there will be a war.
NEW TREND IN
CATALOG
SUPPLEMENT
T o the Editor :
I have been at thi s school for
two years . The 76 - 77 catalog
supplement has brought a new '
trend to my atten ti on. This trend
is m;,de ob vio us by the subject
subtit les fo ll ow ing the program
name in the li sting on pages six
and seven .
Th ere is not o ne course of
study th a t uses psychology or
sociol ogy as a subject subtitle.
Some even have two areas of
ma jo r emphasis. There are 'a lo t
of cou rses dea ling w ith socia l
science .
The d iffe rence between soci ology and social science is interestin g. Soc io logy looks at the pat tern s of behavior of a society .
Soc ial sc ience looks at the fun ctiol1 s of a society ,' with the individ ual observed as she or he rela tes to th e functions or the instituti o ns.
In sociology , socie ty ha s a per-
so na lit y. As individua ls we make'
up thac personality . It is as important to understand our society's personality as it is to understand our own individual personalities.
Socia l sc ience is important as
it illuminat es the rea liti es of '
power and economics. Psychol ogy a nd sociology keep a cl ose
eye o n what makes us happy.
We a ll know really what sci e nce is a ll a bout . At a time when
nothing was really known many
studies of nature and man lend
down roads that seemed to be
wideni ng. But those roads appeared to be wider o nl y to perpetuate themselves. They lead
down path s that go t narrower
and na rrower and more specific.
Science started looking like an ot her game . A way to make a
li ving . Scienti sts had to look
ove r their shoulders behind them
t o find any relation wi t h
research toward unfolding the
mystery of life .
Pictures, symbo ls floating by .
They can be so rigid as to al-
ways be w hat you expect them
to be. Then when you fall as leep
your emp hasis wande rs aro und
among the pictures and symbols,
picking o ut interesting o nes a nd
seeing how they relate with little
or no a tte ntion to how they were
develo ped from the symbols a nd
pictures around them .
The way th e mind uses the
brain in waking and sleeping is a
riddle, whose answer should help
us to look at some prett y nonmechanica l like things, such as
will a nd feelings as they were ,
part of the machinery .

PEER HUMILIATION
MORBID
To the Editor :
Whoever is responsible for the
gross insensitivity of staging a
cheerleaders' conference and a
young women's slimming camp
at Evergreen simultaneously for
the second summer in a
ought to be sent back to grammar school. For 'we who have
memories of the cr uelty t h a t
ado lesce nt s often ex hibit , the
p r ese n ce of th e two gro u ps
forced together is an insult to
our maturi ty as a college and to
some of us who h ope to spare a
newer generation the pain and
humiliatio n of unnecessary peer
rivalry. T he poor judgment is so
extre m e that one wonders if
those responsible are playi ng a
morbid joke, or are si mply too
ignorant to deserve their adult
stat us .

Americans for 200 years have
been torn betwee n the demands
for safety and the urge for freedo m . At Evergreen, we seem to
prefer freedom , w hile down the
way, at Fort Lewis, the preference is different. But on Ma rs!
Nothing will be ab le to keep
those colo nists from demanding
independence. Not at first - at
first the colo nists wi ll call th emse lves Americans, or Russians but in time th ey will grow used
to the Martian climate, a nd the
different celes ti al patterns at
night. T hey will grow secure in
their separation and begin to
think of the Martian soil as their
own . They will call themselves
the last great hope for mankind
and demand to negot ia te with
Earth fo r their minera ls as a
sove reig n nation.
On Ear th , the President will
refuse to be humiliated by our
own colony and everyo ne knows
how it w ill turn out after that.
Three hundred years from now
there will be a war between
Earth and Mars. But a t Ever gree n, the st uden ts w ill be rooting for Mars . If anything becomes a tradition at thi s school,
it w ill be support ing lost causes .
"We sold clam nectar," said Bob Selene,
"And we had more rainwater in the nectar than nectar. "
Lakefair is attended by over 100,000
people each year. The single largest attraction is the Grand Twilight Parade,
which last year drew a crushing 70,000
spectators from around the state,
One feature of the parade is the lakefair float , which has won eight majo r
awa rds in state parades. The float sym bolizes Lakefair 's theme , "Olympia 's
Proud Heritage: Our State Capitol." Each
of the four · buildings used since 1854 for
the state capit ol is featured on the float.
A nd what else would you find on a
float in Olympia but princesses?
The princesses are selected from community high schoo ls -to participate in a
rigo rous speaking tour of 14 local civic
gro ups. Secret judges watch the girls at
their speak ing engagemen ts and evalua te
th em by points.
The fina l points are accumulated when
eac h princess speaks at the corona tion itself. The princess wi th most points is
named queen. Every year the queen is announced in a different way. Last year a
boxcar door was ro lled back to reveal the
new queen 's name, pri nted in six foo t
hi gh letters.
If yo u do attend lakefair, leave some
room in your stomach for the food. Fred
Delore says the food is "the main attraction," and he should know. D elore is the
. chairman of the. more than 20 food concessions that boast suc h items as barbec ue d ribs spo n'sored b y the Amvets,
baco n and eggs - Thurston County Democra ts, cl am strips - Tumwater Jaycees,
hotcakes - RSVP se ni o r group, strawberry shortcake - Jr. Soccer league, and

LAST CHANCE
FOR 'WORKSHOP
REGISTRATION
by Jill Stewart
Harkening back to the campus
biocide-use controversy of Winter Quarter, Director of Facilities Jerry Schillinger finds the
accus ing finger is pointed his
way again,
On May 31, 1976 a sign appeared on the Evergreen park,
way, From a distance it looked
like an official state sign, But at
closer range the wording and the
workmans hip made it obvious the sign was a protest, a dig at
Jerry Schillinger.
"The Evergreen Corps of Engineers, Jerry Schillinger Memoria l Ditch ," the sign proclaimed,
" Where have all the lupine
gone?"
The sign was apparently in
reference to spraying that had
been done in a ditch near the
large field on the parkway, In
past years the field has been
filled with lupine, a flower native to this area, This year a
single lupine stood at the edge of
the field,
An anonymous group let
everyone know who they thought
was to blame,
But Grounds Supervisor Bill
Kennedy disagreed that the
spraying had anything to do
with the lupine disappearance,
He said lupine requires deep,
rich soil to reseed for more than
four years, G1nd that the field has
poor soiL Kennedy added that a
warm winter like the last one
probably rotted the seeds.
The grounds people do have
plans to plant lupine in the field
next spring,

Preparations are being made
for a September 30 departure for
the students who plan to spend a
year studying in Africa.
Coord inator and Faculty Advisor Jude Chukwu is busy making last min ute preparations, The
Lnivers it y of lbadan (Nigeria)
has agreed to work cooperatively
wit h the Evergreen students, allow ing them to use university
facilities and a ttend lectures and
classes for the first quarter of the
trip. C hukwu has also made contact \';it h th e University of
G hana and Nsuka University in
N igeria for similar agreements.
The program headquarters will
be in and around Lagos, Nigeria.
Jude is a Nigerian and therefore
feels assured that he will be able
to use the resources of his own
country to assist the students in
their academic pursuits. It will
be an exciting, unique and valuable experience for the students
who plan to travel with the program,
In addition to studying in Nigeria and Ghana , students will
be making trips to other countries (depending upon visa authorization and political situations) during their stay in Africa,
Egypt, Liberia, and Kenya are
high on the list of student interest.
In a recent in'terview, Jude
talked about the program's organization and goals, Chukwu
sa id the goals of the program are
"To gain firsthand . experience
with African cultures studied
during the 1975 - 76 school year,
to document these experiences
and researches, and to bring
back this material to The Evergrep.n State College for future
st udent use ." He also stated,"The
main responsibilities of the students shall be to the general educational objectives of The Evergreen 'S tate College, always only
as they shall be consistent with
the laws and customs of the
country or region in which these
studies are being c~rried out and
with the knowledge and approval
of the program coordinator."
In talking with other faculty
members who have headed outof-country st udy programs ,
Chukwu has attempted to plan
the program in such a way as to
minimize conflict. He has written
a Covenant for the group which
states, "This covenant is de signed , , therefore, to clarify in
broad outline the aims of the
African Field Studies program to
anticipate as nearly as possible
the kinds of conflict that may
a rise in achieving them , , "
Chukwu expressed his appreciation of the help and advice
given to him by Willie Parson,
Dave Anderson (Nepal Program), Bill Brown (Africa & The
U,S. Program), and Mark Papw9 rth .

LAST CHANCE
FOR 'WORKSHOP
REGISTRATION
by Jill Stewart
Harkening back to the campus
biocide-use controversy of Winter Quarter, Director of Facilities Jerry Schillinger finds the
accus ing finger is pointed his
way again,
On May 31, 1976 a sign appeared on the Evergreen park,
way, From a distance it looked
like an official state sign, But at
closer range the wording and the
workmans hip made it obvious the sign was a protest, a dig at
Jerry Schillinger.
"The Evergreen Corps of Engineers, Jerry Schillinger Memoria l Ditch ," the sign proclaimed,
" Where have all the lupine
gone?"
The sign was apparently in
reference to spraying that had
been done in a ditch near the
large field on the parkway, In
past years the field has been
filled with lupine, a flower native to this area, This year a
single lupine stood at the edge of
the field,
An anonymous group let
everyone know who they thought
was to blame,
But Grounds Supervisor Bill
Kennedy disagreed that the
spraying had anything to do
with the lupine disappearance,
He said lupine requires deep,
rich soil to reseed for more than
four years, G1nd that the field has
poor soiL Kennedy added that a
warm winter like the last one
probably rotted the seeds.
The grounds people do have
plans to plant lupine in the field
next spring,
Although some people are
concerned that the field itself
was sprayed, Kennedy explained
that only the ditch was spotsprayed to eliminate alder that
had sprung up and caused clogging and a large puddle in the
ditch.
The sign couldn't have come
at a more appropriate time, acting as a going away present for
Schillinger who is leaving Evergreen for the University of Denver. Schillinger is undoubtedly
looking forward to the challenges
in his new position. He will head
up a $50 million building budget
earmarked for renovating most
of the 115 year old campus ,
Schillinger's reaction to the
sign? "1 thought they'd name
photos by Ti Locke
something more substantial than
a ditch after me," he said at his
going-away
party
Friday,
June 25.
"Yeah," said bystander John
Moss, "We'll probably name the
deficit after him,"

die fo r . Ev er y one is already
dead .
And that demonstrates Heller's
achievement. He has confronted
and c ome to g rip s with the
deadly , pervas ive awareness of
almost a ll educated people: that
they a re medioc re, undramatic
indi vidu a ls lock ed into meaningless, borin g lives ; headed straight

All this is told through the
fl owing impress ions and mem o ries of a middle- aged executive
na med Bob Slocum . He hides
no t hin g from us that he doesn ' t
hide fro m him self . He is impar tially cru el to eve ryo ne at times,
an d part iall y cruel to himself in
eve ryt hing he says. He is m enta ll y distu rbed a nd is very Il o rIll al. '" am we ll- adjusted," Sl o cum say s . "which is not exactl y

a nd lo ts of affairs w ith a ttracti ve
you ng w omen . He ca nn o t find
mean in g in a nythin g he has o r
does. Something happened that
changed him completely . Once
he had aspirations and believed
in himself and his work . He was
able to trust and love o thers.
Now he has no goals , believes in
no thing and no one (including
h imself), and no lo nger loves or
kno ws if he is loved . Something
terrible is impending. This is a
certaint y, if only because something did happen once that made
him th e way he is. If something
happens it will surely be disastrous ; if nothing happens it will
still be disastrous .
Bob Slocum says:
It's a wise person , I guess ,
w ho knows he 's dumb , and an
honest person who knows he 's a
liar. And it's a dumb person , I
guess , who 's convinced he is

by every person. No one can be
relied on for support because no
one has any good reason to be
kind.
Finally one of Slocum's predictions does come true . Something
awful at last does happen , and
Slocum himself is responsible .
He acts with speed and panic to
wipe out his fears, pain, and
guilt. He commits the act which
makes him ready to take
command .
Something Happened is a
nightmarish VISIOn we must
check to make sure it is not our
own. Slocum's ugly , embarrassing thoughts are unusually disturbing . His vision accuses us,
and we are guilty. We are guilty
until proven dead (and come to
think of it, we are still guilty, ha
hal, Yossarian "only" accused
the world , Bob Slocum accuses
every one of us. Heller is not
writing about somebody else .
Men will be particularly affected by the book's message,
and those whose lives are remotely similar will probably not
be able to finish the book, or
will deny its insight. Every reader
will be reminded of all the things
hidden away in the back of the
mind. Deaths of loved ones, bad
habits , bad dreams, and bad
memories will all be stirred up .
Bob Slocum is our secret life.
o ur g enerati o n , our America ,
our civiliza tio n. So m ething Happened pushes us to see ourselves
as we reall y are , or a t least at
what we are becoming . There is
a chance, though : by reading
Bob Slocum 's thought s there is a
po ssibility of no t being him . A
slim possib ility .
course , is always . .. yes!
Slocum is a white AngloSaxon Protestant with a wife and
three children in Connecticut. He
distrust s and fears his family , al though he does love them at
times , particularly his older son .
His father died when he was six,
hIs older brother died later. His
mother had bad strokes and took
a long time dying. His wife is
bored , his daughter rude, and his
youn ger son Derek mentally retarded . Slocum hates him for being born. Derek is the only member of the family that Slocum
names in the novel's 569 pages.
Slocum predicts disaster for each
member of his family with detached maliciousness.
Bob Slocum cannot fight the
external world. He is trapped in
his own head (and as readers, so
are we ). with an overwhelming
sense of loss, but he has no idea
what has been lost , or where it
was lost. or when . All Slocum
knows is that something happened sometime, and the novel
chronicles his thought processes
as he tries various answers to his
dilemma and evades others . Slocum cannot identify an enemy to
fight against ; he knows of
nothing not worth dying for. He
is acutely aware of society's in sanity , and believes not only
that something has happened ,
but that something will happen ,
so me thing terrible, something
unforeseen, something disastrous .
He is convinced something will
happen , and even worse, he beli eves anyth ing ~an happen a nyone may suddenl y and withou t warning become a n enemy,

James Taylor's
lIn the Pocket'
J T
AA
MY
E L
S 0
R
by Bill Taylor
to:
James Taylor's new album , In
Th e Pocket is the finest collection of songs Taylor has produced since the 1969 release of
Sweet Bab y lames . The music
ranges from folk to country rock
to jazzed up rhythm and blues.
All arrangements are excellent.
Nothing over or underdone . Just
remarkable music.
Tay lor receives vocal and instrumental support from a number of musicians , including
Stevie Wonder on harmonica ,
Clarence McDonald on keyboards . Art Garfunkel , Carly
Simon and Crosby and Nash
lend tasty vocal backup througho ut.
Tayl o r, using his voice more
creatively than ever before, provides each song with an emotive
quality all its own . The 12 tunes
on In Th e Poc k et visit many
pla c es of Taylor ' s experience .
N o two o f the songs sound
alike.
Thi s new work strikes a profo und balance between self and
others , mi xin g personal soulclaiming lyrics with more socia ble and often didactic verse.
One of the exciting aspects of the
LP , as with Gorilla (Taylor's last
relea se), is that Taylor, having
grown away from hi s fecundative roo ts in the sixties, has come
to grips with a new raison d'
etre . Tay lo r is adamant about
letting us kno w he's onto some thing new .
The opening song " Shower the
Peo ple" (also the first single released from the album) is an absorbing love song about loving.
Though the give-and-ye-shaHreceive equation is all too familia r and in spite of Taylor's proposal of love as panacea, J. T .'s
a nd Ca rly Simon's potent vocals
brin~ the song to life. '
to be a nnounced
lust shower the people you
love with love
Show them the way that you
feel
Things are go nna w o rk out
fin e
(f you only will
"A Junkie's Lament" is the
most hypnotic and enveloping
song on the album . Chronicling
a friend's struggle with heroin ,
Taylor sings ,
Ricky 's be e n kickin g the
gong
Likety split , didn 't take too
lo ng
A junkie 's sick
A m o nkey 's strong
That 's what's wrong . . .
Oh m y God, a m onkey can
move a man
Send him to hell
And home again
With an empty hand in the
afternoon
Shooting for the mo on ..
It's halfway sick
'\nd it's halfway ston ed
He'd sure like to kick
But it's far too go ne
So th ey w ind him down
w ith the methadone
Andh e~ allonh~o w n . . .
Rhythm and Blues is vital to
Taylor's new ';'usical interest.
Many of th e songs favor thi s
mode . Escaping dilletantism ,
Taylor handles these cuts. with
humor and warmth, lending in tegrity to the melodic funk. This
is not a first for Taylor. His last
album contained a remake of
Marvin Gaye's, "How Sweet It Is
(To Be Loved By You). " This
time the artist turns to Bobby
Womack's repertoire for a tune
called "Woman's Gotta Have It."
The arrangement is of the new
Marvin GayI' disco genre and the
vocal is flawless, with Taylor
singing like he feels it, rather
than like he's hea rd it done before .

Unfortunately James Taylor is
not at his lyrical best when the R
and B tunes are of his own creation . "Family Man" is a
frolicking blues tune reminiscent
of Sly Stone's work. Taylor's
forceful delivery is testimony to
the belief that form is an 'extension of content. In the song,
Taylor proudly drives the Cadillac of his nuclear family into our
living rooms, singing:
I'm just a fa~i1y man
Like it or not
I am a famil y man
Holding Ol1to what I'v e got
I'm a family man
Right by damn
Finally found out what I am
Is a fam ily man
If marrying Carly Simon and
making a baby led Taylor to discovering what he is then bravo!
But for some reason Taylor
never tells us why it is all so
great , preferring instead to caution his friends that because of
his new romance he ain' t gonna
be hittin' the town on Saturday
. nights.
Wh o a Jacko , don 't expect
me
To come out drinking , mess in ' around
Spending my time
With a bun ch of crazy p eople
I bee n there befor e
I do n 't need to go back no
more
The re's more to say about
domesti c consciousness than
James lets us in on . Taylor seems
content with surface lyrics about
he and Carly and Sarah Maria .
This is saddening, The dynamics
of those long-term encounters
have produced novels, not to
mention mo re enlightening songs .
But Taylor prefers to take it
easy:
Walk o n o ver and tum on
th e TV
What I'd like to d o is lie
do w n on the sofa
Later on
I might walk my d og
Bo Didley is a family man
Unlike Family Man, most of
the tunes on the album deserve
repeated listening. "Don't Be Sad
'Cause Your Sun Is Down" is a
wa rmhearted melancholic ballad
co -authored by Stevie Wonder
who also sits in on harmonica ,
"Nothing Like A Hundred Miles"
is a country-styled tune abou t
leaving the memory of an old
lover behind. Crosby and Na sh's
vocals give the common story
new flavor .
Despite occasional lyrical in nocuou sness, James Taylor 's
themes and melodies remain his
own. If Taylor lost momentum
after the rele~se of Sweet Baby
fam es, he generated and opened
new directions for himself with
Go rilla : The newest LP , In Th e
Poc k e t, continues to ex plore
those directions . Taylor lets us
know he knows what he likes,
displaying almost magical versa tility and offering positive energy
that mak es thi s c ollection o f
so ngs enjoyable throughout.

All this is told through the
fl owing impress ions and mem o ries of a middle- aged executive
na med Bob Slocum . He hides
no t hin g from us that he doesn ' t
hide fro m him self . He is impar tially cru el to eve ryo ne at times,
an d part iall y cruel to himself in
eve ryt hing he says. He is m enta ll y distu rbed a nd is very Il o rIll al. '" am we ll- adjusted," Sl o cum say s . "which is not exactl y

a nd lo ts of affairs w ith a ttracti ve
you ng w omen . He ca nn o t find
mean in g in a nythin g he has o r
does. Something happened that
changed him completely . Once
he had aspirations and believed
in himself and his work . He was
able to trust and love o thers.
Now he has no goals , believes in
no thing and no one (including
h imself), and no lo nger loves or
kno ws if he is loved . Something
terrible is impending. This is a
certaint y, if only because something did happen once that made
him th e way he is. If something
happens it will surely be disastrous ; if nothing happens it will
still be disastrous .
Bob Slocum says:
It's a wise person , I guess ,
w ho knows he 's dumb , and an
honest person who knows he 's a
liar. And it's a dumb person , I
guess , who 's convinced he is

by every person. No one can be
relied on for support because no
one has any good reason to be
kind.
Finally one of Slocum's predictions does come true . Something
awful at last does happen , and
Slocum himself is responsible .
He acts with speed and panic to
wipe out his fears, pain, and
guilt. He commits the act which
makes him ready to take
command .
Something Happened is a
nightmarish VISIOn we must
check to make sure it is not our
own. Slocum's ugly , embarrassing thoughts are unusually disturbing . His vision accuses us,
and we are guilty. We are guilty
until proven dead (and come to
think of it, we are still guilty, ha
hal, Yossarian "only" accused
the world , Bob Slocum accuses
every one of us. Heller is not
writing about somebody else .
Men will be particularly affected by the book's message,
and those whose lives are remotely similar will probably not
be able to finish the book, or
will deny its insight. Every reader
will be reminded of all the things
hidden away in the back of the
mind. Deaths of loved ones, bad
habits , bad dreams, and bad
memories will all be stirred up .
Bob Slocum is our secret life.
o ur g enerati o n , our America ,
our civiliza tio n. So m ething Happened pushes us to see ourselves
as we reall y are , or a t least at
what we are becoming . There is
a chance, though : by reading
Bob Slocum 's thought s there is a
po ssibility of no t being him . A
slim possib ility .
course , is always . .. yes!
Slocum is a white AngloSaxon Protestant with a wife and
three children in Connecticut. He
distrust s and fears his family , al though he does love them at
times , particularly his older son .
His father died when he was six,
hIs older brother died later. His
mother had bad strokes and took
a long time dying. His wife is
bored , his daughter rude, and his
youn ger son Derek mentally retarded . Slocum hates him for being born. Derek is the only member of the family that Slocum
names in the novel's 569 pages.
Slocum predicts disaster for each
member of his family with detached maliciousness.
Bob Slocum cannot fight the
external world. He is trapped in
his own head (and as readers, so
are we ). with an overwhelming
sense of loss, but he has no idea
what has been lost , or where it
was lost. or when . All Slocum
knows is that something happened sometime, and the novel
chronicles his thought processes
as he tries various answers to his
dilemma and evades others . Slocum cannot identify an enemy to
fight against ; he knows of
nothing not worth dying for. He
is acutely aware of society's in sanity , and believes not only
that something has happened ,
but that something will happen ,
so me thing terrible, something
unforeseen, something disastrous .
He is convinced something will
happen , and even worse, he beli eves anyth ing ~an happen a nyone may suddenl y and withou t warning become a n enemy,

James Taylor's
lIn the Pocket'
J T
AA
MY
E L
S 0
R
by Bill Taylor
to:
James Taylor's new album , In
Th e Pocket is the finest collection of songs Taylor has produced since the 1969 release of
Sweet Bab y lames . The music
ranges from folk to country rock
to jazzed up rhythm and blues.
All arrangements are excellent.
Nothing over or underdone . Just
remarkable music.
Tay lor receives vocal and instrumental support from a number of musicians , including
Stevie Wonder on harmonica ,
Clarence McDonald on keyboards . Art Garfunkel , Carly
Simon and Crosby and Nash
lend tasty vocal backup througho ut.
Tayl o r, using his voice more
creatively than ever before, provides each song with an emotive
quality all its own . The 12 tunes
on In Th e Poc k et visit many
pla c es of Taylor ' s experience .
N o two o f the songs sound
alike.
Thi s new work strikes a profo und balance between self and
others , mi xin g personal soulclaiming lyrics with more socia ble and often didactic verse.
One of the exciting aspects of the
LP , as with Gorilla (Taylor's last
relea se), is that Taylor, having
grown away from hi s fecundative roo ts in the sixties, has come
to grips with a new raison d'
etre . Tay lo r is adamant about
letting us kno w he's onto some thing new .
The opening song " Shower the
Peo ple" (also the first single released from the album) is an absorbing love song about loving.
Though the give-and-ye-shaHreceive equation is all too familia r and in spite of Taylor's proposal of love as panacea, J. T .'s
a nd Ca rly Simon's potent vocals
brin~ the song to life. '
to be a nnounced
lust shower the people you
love with love
Show them the way that you
feel
Things are go nna w o rk out
fin e
(f you only will
"A Junkie's Lament" is the
most hypnotic and enveloping
song on the album . Chronicling
a friend's struggle with heroin ,
Taylor sings ,
Ricky 's be e n kickin g the
gong
Likety split , didn 't take too
lo ng
A junkie 's sick
A m o nkey 's strong
That 's what's wrong . . .
Oh m y God, a m onkey can
move a man
Send him to hell
And home again
With an empty hand in the
afternoon
Shooting for the mo on ..
It's halfway sick
'\nd it's halfway ston ed
He'd sure like to kick
But it's far too go ne
So th ey w ind him down
w ith the methadone
Andh e~ allonh~o w n . . .
Rhythm and Blues is vital to
Taylor's new ';'usical interest.
Many of th e songs favor thi s
mode . Escaping dilletantism ,
Taylor handles these cuts. with
humor and warmth, lending in tegrity to the melodic funk. This
is not a first for Taylor. His last
album contained a remake of
Marvin Gaye's, "How Sweet It Is
(To Be Loved By You). " This
time the artist turns to Bobby
Womack's repertoire for a tune
called "Woman's Gotta Have It."
The arrangement is of the new
Marvin GayI' disco genre and the
vocal is flawless, with Taylor
singing like he feels it, rather
than like he's hea rd it done before .

Unfortunately James Taylor is
not at his lyrical best when the R
and B tunes are of his own creation . "Family Man" is a
frolicking blues tune reminiscent
of Sly Stone's work. Taylor's
forceful delivery is testimony to
the belief that form is an 'extension of content. In the song,
Taylor proudly drives the Cadillac of his nuclear family into our
living rooms, singing:
I'm just a fa~i1y man
Like it or not
I am a famil y man
Holding Ol1to what I'v e got
I'm a family man
Right by damn
Finally found out what I am
Is a fam ily man
If marrying Carly Simon and
making a baby led Taylor to discovering what he is then bravo!
But for some reason Taylor
never tells us why it is all so
great , preferring instead to caution his friends that because of
his new romance he ain' t gonna
be hittin' the town on Saturday
. nights.
Wh o a Jacko , don 't expect
me
To come out drinking , mess in ' around
Spending my time
With a bun ch of crazy p eople
I bee n there befor e
I do n 't need to go back no
more
The re's more to say about
domesti c consciousness than
James lets us in on . Taylor seems
content with surface lyrics about
he and Carly and Sarah Maria .
This is saddening, The dynamics
of those long-term encounters
have produced novels, not to
mention mo re enlightening songs .
But Taylor prefers to take it
easy:
Walk o n o ver and tum on
th e TV
What I'd like to d o is lie
do w n on the sofa
Later on
I might walk my d og
Bo Didley is a family man
Unlike Family Man, most of
the tunes on the album deserve
repeated listening. "Don't Be Sad
'Cause Your Sun Is Down" is a
wa rmhearted melancholic ballad
co -authored by Stevie Wonder
who also sits in on harmonica ,
"Nothing Like A Hundred Miles"
is a country-styled tune abou t
leaving the memory of an old
lover behind. Crosby and Na sh's
vocals give the common story
new flavor .
Despite occasional lyrical in nocuou sness, James Taylor 's
themes and melodies remain his
own. If Taylor lost momentum
after the rele~se of Sweet Baby
fam es, he generated and opened
new directions for himself with
Go rilla : The newest LP , In Th e
Poc k e t, continues to ex plore
those directions . Taylor lets us
know he knows what he likes,
displaying almost magical versa tility and offering positive energy
that mak es thi s c ollection o f
so ngs enjoyable throughout.

Seattle is the place to go if you are
look ing fo r a classic Bicentennial celebrati on. The entire downtow n a rea bus service has been decla red free for the day to transport th e masses from various activities a t the Seattle Center and new Freeway Park to the night fireworks displays
at Elliott Bay and Greenlake.
An alternative to the official extravaganzas is the Fourth of July Coalition
gathering at Seattle's Seward Park, which
will focus on the problems of inequality
and unemployment in the U. S.
The people of Renton chose to not
spend a great deal of money on fireworks
for their observance and have resorted to
the next best thing . They have scheduled
a community-wide "seventy-six seconds
of noise."

Over a year ago KAOS -FM , the campus rad io sta tion, paid $50 for a rusted
and corroded surplus 1949 Air Force transmitter w hi ch lay in a poo l of water in the
basement of Seattle's KRAB-FM . Putting
the partially disassembled transmitter in
working o rder became a major project for
Lee Riback, Randy' Ha rrison, Bob Costell o, and Lee Chambers.
On June 1 the new transmitter finally
ca me into use, boosting KAOS's power
from a puny ten watts, which got about
as far as West Olympia, to 250 watts,
which means the station can sometimes be
heard from as far away as Seattle. The
Federal Communications Commission,
which gave the station authority for the
power increase, will inspect KAOS and
the new transmitt er soon.
KAOS first received its FCC broadcasting license in January of 1973, when it
began operating out of a couple of tiny
offices (its present main studio and record
room) with two ancient turntables dona ted by KGY in Olympia . The first song
KAOS played on the air was Dan Hick s'
"Success. " Over the last three-a nd -a -ha lf
years KAOS has tried to li ve up to tha t
first song. In additi on to an unusually
wide varie ty of musica l programm ing, the
statio n has present ed live coverage of
major speeches, festival s, a nd sympos iums
at Evergreen . Loca ll y taped concerts by
such fa mous artists as Jose Feliciano,
Keith Jarrett . Chick Corea a nd Return to
Forever, and the Gary Burton Qu intet
have been featured over the years.
The increase in listening a udience "will
automatically generate more responsibility
among staff members at the sta tion," sa id
KAOS station manager Carl L. Cook .
Cook wants to change "the old KAOS"
to a more community-oriented station.
"We're going to survey the community to
ascertain their ' needs as soon as possible,"
he said.
As part of its summer expansion KAOS
will broadcast live from the Capital Lakefair July 9, 10, and 11. Twelve hours of
progra mming are scheduled each day .
Live coverage of the Thurston County
Fair in August is also planned .
KAOS staff members are excited about
the prospects of having a radio station
with "real" listeners. Music Director John
S. Foster a nd Program Director Toni
Holm returned recently from the National
Alternative Radi o Conference Two
(NARC 2), w here the problems, ideas,
a nd philosophies of noncommercial stations were shared. "We're learning," Foster said, "but we're not trying to be 'professional. ' Professionalism is often commerciai s m. People shouldn' t try to emu late the commercial radio they've listened
to all their lives. We don't want to have
the trying- to -sell -you-something sound of
KZAM."
Former Program Director Stephen Rabow agreed . "You have no control over
what you listen to on AM radio. Gener ally it's the Top 100 singles that are given
exposure, . and because of the repetition
and routine in the music, it's very rare
that a ny of these records add to one's
growth of outlook."
Rabow believes AM radio divides the
population into two limited groups:
"country music for the rednecks and Top
40 for the tennyboppers. " He thinks FM

radio is only a little better. "The . selection
is almost as narrow . You've got hard
metal rock on one sta tion, progressive
country on a nother, 'and classical music
on a third. At KAOS there is an alternative. You can be creative. You can do
whatever you always wanted to do with a
radio."
T he staff is now recruiti ng people to
work at the station. T hey are especially
interested in increasing their news and
pub li c affairs coverage, "but a nyone with
ideas is welcome to join," said Carl L.
Cook . "They don't even have to be stu dent s'."
"They don't even have to have ideas,"
added John S. Foster. "We ca n brainwash
them."
Twenty new ' people are now taking
basic radio workshops from Lee Cham bers, with production workshops being
planned by Ca rl L. Cook.
The new programmers will have to
work hard to come up with something
completely new to KAOS . Shows in the
past have included "Coffee, Toast, and
Jamm, " featuring Carl L. Cook making
breakfast. "We held the microphone right
up to the sizzli n g bacon for specia l
effect,"Cook said .
Another weird show is Tom Hood's
"Radar Range," broadcast Monday night s
from midnight "till death or exhaustion ."
Hood's specialty is a sort of sou nd -collage .
He has been able to mix up to nine differ ent sound sources, resulting in what Hood
accurately ca lls "an aud io frenzy ." Other
wort hwhile shows include programs by
Lee Meist er, Kim McCartney, and Steve
Winniger, who all contribute to KAOS' s
generous dose of jazz. Laura Mae Abraham
and Walter Davis co- host an exce ll ent
public affairs show called " People to Pe o ple" each Monday at 7 p.m.
"That's diversity for you," said Stephen
Rabow . " KAOS-FM is one of the few
stations in the country where there's a
possibility of hearing, in one hour, sa lsa
music, Cajun music, bluegrass, classical ,
reggae, jazz, and rock.
" In this way," he continued, "radi o beco mes a n art form : of expre;sion, educa tion, and experiment. "
The KAOS - FM s ummer program
schedule will be printed in th e next iss ue
of The Cooper Point Journal.
