Is the Third WorldDTF D.O.A.? (p~r%)1
by Fran Allen
l ' en t hough the weather has

e l, ' uds continue to cover the
:'\ . ,n-'v\ihi te DTF.
,--)n June 2. 1976, the Sounding
B,)a rd issued a memo tD the
Evergreen Community stating
that "T he Board heard (from

previDus year. It is nDW time fDr
these repDrts tD be requested.
The Sounding BDard would like
to remind everyone .of this DTF
and alsD request that the progress

" . . . At the very least a
campus survey of the impact .of
the budget on the DTF recommendations will facilitate educatiDn and awareness -about the
DTF report and the budget and
will encourage a climate of .open

I would not call what I have
encountered in my investigation
"secret suspicion," but I w ill
submit that I have run head-Dn

nobody wants to talk about it.
Everyone is so busy doing other

about this inqui ry ever being

We Thank
You will probably notice
Cooper Point Journal staffers
wandering about the campus,
seemingly catatonic, for the
next several weeks - testimony
to the fact that this Cooper
Point Journal barely made it off
the lay-out tables this vear.
Seventy-five·hour work
weeks, broken equipment, missing stories (and writers), and
late-night slap-happy seuions
have all taken their toll on this
brave little staff. All we can say
is "Whew'"
The Journal is Evergreen's
campus newspaper, entirely
managed and written by students. Exactly one year ago the
long-time faculty advisor moved
on and left the Journal without a guiding light. But we have
improved despite that.

Our core of fearless writers
and contributors varies in size,
from three people at one point
this summer, to fifty-plus for
the Orientation Issue before
you. We depend largely on people who just show up to offer
their services - writing, photography, graphics, diet pop.
Often these hard -working souls
stick around and become part of
a loosely formed group known
as our "contributors."
This issue is unlike anything
we put out during the rest of
the year - mainly in size. We
are 80 used to eight pages that
nightmares about seeing pages
25 through 32 swirling down a
giant toilet have been common.
Most importantly, this issue
contains information we often
do not have the time or fore-

sight to print during the school
year.
Especially intriguing is the
"Guide to the Faculty" on pages
14 and 15. Here we have attempted to profile Evergreen's
individual faculty members their strengths and weaknesses,
their personalities and non-personalities. New students will
find it especially helpful.
You will not want ·to miss
"How to Open Evergreen's
Doors" on page 11. Everything
you have been asking about
getting into programs and
individual contracts is probably
there.
Remember: the Journal is
completely run by students. We
will need writers, photographers
and cartoonists throughout the
year. So come on up and visit.
Dig a Duck
by Stephen G. Rabow
Evergreen's mascot is the Geoduck (pronounced Gooey-Duck).
It s anti-mascot appearances made
it very attractive to those who
made that decis io n in 1970. The
sy mbol soon became the subject
ot numerous songs, stories, and
jokes that kept the Evergreen
s pi ri t a li ve through the first
<;t rugglin g years of the school.
The most popular of these might
we ll have been Evergreen playwright Malcolm Stilson's song
which was regularly featured in
his plays:
" Go, Geoducks go,
through the mud and the
sa nd let's go.
Siphon high.
~quir t it out ,
,w ivci all about.
lei it a ll hang out.
Go. Genducks go,
st retch your necks when the
tide is low ."
Much ,)f the reaso n the geoduck i_ now a n accepted norm
here is due 10 the slick commercial i7.d tion 0 1 the symbo l by the
Evergrl'en bookstore. Yet, no
matter how cu te the geoduck
may appear on window decals.
swea t shirts. or as h-trays, an encounter with the live version is
nothing short of impressive.
The Geoduck (Panopea generosa) is the Northwes t's largest
clam. The sip hon and body
bu lge way beyond the perimeter
of the s he ll. th e shell being
unable to keep up with the bi valve's grow th. Geoducks grow
about one inch per year in shell
length for the fir st four years of
life. The growth rate is reduced
after this period . The average
size is reac hed in five to six years
- an amazing average of 2.2
pounds. The average shell length
is 5.6 inches. [t is estimated that
the [if I' span of the geoduck is 20
years or more and that there are
some 114, 700,000 residen~ geoducks in the Puget Sound area.
Geoduck is the rough spelling
of the Indian word "gweduc." To
the Nisqually "gweduc" meant
"dig deep. " For thousands of
years Northwest Indians ate the
giant clam, but when white se ttlers moved in, they were overcome with nausea and embarras ment by the obscene-looking biva lve. Geoducks were actually
banned from public sale in Taco ma in th e early 1880's, but the
law was soo n wisely repealed .
What does one do with a geo duck? Well. there are no vibrating models being marketed at
thi s time but th ere is talk of a
sci-fi film to be shot in Olympia
ca lled "King Clam." The film is
supposedly about an atomic experiment on the Trident submarine base that goes haywire and
affects a geoduck whic h, as a re-
su it of radioactive exposure,
starts growing at a phenomenal
rate. The last scene is scheduled
to take place on Capito l Way,
the geoduck eventually work ing
its way up to the Capitol build ing where.
awww forget it,
that would spoil the ending.
C lam hunters know that there
is no easy way to catch a geoduck. A lazy man 's gu ide to obtaining one of these lovable critters is to buy o ne. They are
available locally fresh or frozen,
who le or chopped, for around
fif ty cents per pound . A geoduck
is one of the most unique gifts
you can send to an out-of-state
friend. A lth ough geoducks have
been found as far north as southeas tern Alaska and as far south
as Baja California, they are not
commonplace outside' the northwestern coast.
Geouuck burgers are served in
some local restaurants for those
with a taste for adventure. The
taste, by the way, is similar to
3balone. On rainy Olympia
days. "let' s have geoduck" is one
answer that will provide an in te rest ing afternoon of cooking
and unique feasting. Here ;Ire a
few rec ipes :
Geoduck Omelet
Add one-half cup chopped
LETTERS
onions and one-half cup ground,
minced, or finely chopped geodu ck to hot , well-greased pan
(bacon fat for those who dare)
and cook at medium high heat
for two minutes . Stir in two
tablespoons fine dry bread
crumbs (and cooked bacon). Use
this geoduck filling in your omelet.
Geoduck Chowder
Cook two cups diced potatoes,
one cup chopped onions, and
one cup chopped celery until
tender. Add four cups milk and
one chopped, ground, or :ninced
geoduck; heat and simmer (do
not boil). Add salt and pepper to
taste. A lazy person's version of
this is relying on one can creamof-potato soup and one-half
ca n of clam juice added to the
geod uck.
Gcodllck Frillers
Using fresh geuduck, cut oneeighth -inch-thick slices of mantic (skinned) into about one by
two-inch pieces. In a bowl stir
together one and one-third cup
prepared biscuit mix, one egg,
and one cup milk unti l blended.
Heat sa lad oil or fat in a wide
fryin g pan (a depth of about
one-third inch ), Cook until crisp
and brown, about 45 seconds on
each side.
ASH is talking about this
"new approach" and its "new
ideas." This certainly is a new
idea and a new approach to rent
collecting. When will the students
here find housing that is not so
slimy and underhanded 7

I was extremely pleased to
read that the deans are finally
taking some positive action regarding delinquent faculty evaluations. I myself have had to
struggle to get an evaluation
more than seven months overdue, and I know others who
have been hampered in getting
jobs or applying to graduate
school because of tardy evaluations. Faculty who aren' t organized enough to turn in eva luations on time shouldn't be teaching at Evergreen.
What reall y disturbed me
about the article, though , was
th.lt some faculty seem to be
passing the blame for the ir late
evaluations on to the deans ,
claiming that the "enforcement"
of thi s new policy should have
occurred earlier . It appears that
these delinquent faculty are trying to cover up their guilt by
crying unfair , when the blame
for lat e eva luations rea lly lies
with them.
I would li ke to extend my since re thanks to Ed Kormondy and
others who are taking a hard line
on faculty evaluations . Keep up
the good work!

A Geoduck dwarf. a six-inch ruler.

Candy Peterson,
Areo, Idaho
I should like to comment about
your Mr. Shore's review of
"Robin and Marian" which appeared in a recent issue of the
CPT. His review, I am grieved to
say, was completely mistaken. It
may even have caused, perish
the thought, Miss Hepburn some
pain. But from the little that he
did say in this unfortunate review, I suspect that your Mr.
Shore is a man of few years and
as yet undeveloped heart, and,
hence, that he must be forgiven
rather than punished. You might
encourage him to reread the
"Transcendental Aesthetic" section of Kant's Critique of Pure
Reason, read, for obViously the
first time, Kant's quite romantically inspired Critique of Judgement, and to wait patiently for
his better middle years.
Sincerely yours,
Mark Levensky

I am a graduate from Areo
High School in my home town
of Areo, Idaho. I wrote this
letter to Evergreen to say a few
words about team sports. While
visiting Evergreen this July to
determine if this was indeed the
college of my choice, I visited
the Campus Recreation Building. As I wallted through the
halls a quick review of the display eases and bulletin boards
revealed to me an interest in
some rather obscure and differ·
ent kinds of sports, most being
non -competitive.
I felt this was good, Evergreen being a small school and
all, and I communicated this to
some people I assume were
Evergreeners, nearby. A discussion followed and the subject of team sports came up. I
was appalled at the negative
comments I heard, " ... competitive sports are for jocks ... "
and " ... typical straight college crap...,.. "... violent
. . ., .. and other similar statements.
I was a cheerleader at Areo
for two years and enjoyed the
playful and harmleas competition between our sehool and the
other high sehoola we played
against. I enjoyed the role I
played as a supporter and a
friend for the different teams
and coaches throughout the
seasons.
I guess ' a lot of cool Evergreeners will think rm crazy or
something, but I really enjoy
watching and cheering for my
peers, friends, and relatives at
baseball games or a swim meet.
And these kinds of activities
can be used to help generate
school monies for scholarships
or other worthwhile activities.
I think all these "liberal" Evergreeners should get liberated
from all this weird stuff they're
always pushing on other people
and get hip to the rest of the
real world. I read of lot of Evergreen material and am confused
at times by all the closed-minded
things all these open-minded
people can say, I would like to
see 80me kind of response to
this letter, maybe I'm being too
hard on Evergreen. But I think

ASH SLIMY AND

To the Editor:
I would like to tell about an
incident which occurred a few
weeks ago at the infamous Ash
apartments . Yes, (name withheld)
was doing his dishes at about
11:00 p.m. when there was a
very rough and loud knock on
his door. 'Tve come for the
rent." An Ash representative
stood with another rather large
male on {name withheld)'s front
step. Well (name withheld) had
already paid his rent in full.
When he later told me about the
incident, he punctuated _his story
with "I couldn't believe it. It was
really like the movies. Eleven at
night."

I for one am tired of reading
about what a great job a recent
employee did for Evergreen.
Man'll employees have done a
great job for Evergreen but
never received such publicity
upon leaving the college. Must
one earn nearly $19,000 annually to be really appreciated
here?

STEAL TOO
To the Editor:
Early Monday morning two
young men were tearing at a
ear in parking lot F. Security
came upon them and they bolted
for the woods, but the descriptions were very clear; they
were Evergreen students. The
sheriff comel!l and shrugs his
shoulders at the smudged fingerprints, for the young men
had escaped once more, but not
before creating several hundred
dollars worth of damage. There
have been a hundred or more
such eases of damage and stealing since the first of the year.
And nothing has been done
about it?

BUDGET
APPROVAL
DISGUSTING
To the Editor:
The newsletter dated August
20, 1976 contained some information which I feel very
I!Itrongly about - tbe budget. I
.want some questions answered.
What the hell is going on? In
the last paragraph about Biennial Budget Request there is a
statement which reada, "Trustees also approved a $13,879 bid
from Hopkina Co. for parkway
median landacaping, and an additional $18,860 bid from the
same company for Seminar
Building landacaping." Do you
realize that this is THIRTYTWO THOUSAND SEVEN
HUNDRED AND TWENTYNINE DOLLARS?
Now, I can understand spending money to build structures
and to maintain those struc·
tures. I cannot, however, understand spending the above
amount to plant trees, grass,
shrubs and generally push dirt
from one spot to another. I
mean, it seems to me the campus core area is already receiving more than enough 'landscap·
ing" attention and fuDding.
The earth does fiDe all by itseH. God does a great job of
landscaping. Why do we need to
spend $32,729 on redoing what
He/She's already mastered? Do
we get gold-plated trees? Foun tains of running water and colored lights? Besides, I thought
tile environmentalists were
striving to maintain Evergreen's
acreage in its natural, beautiful
form. I for one am very satisfied with the way the parkway
looks right nowl I for one don't
give a good goddamn about the
pile of gravel at the back of the
Seminar Building. It can stay
there. The money could be used
much better in other ways on
this campus. I wish I were a
parkway, I would be delighted
to receive all this attention, but
I'm a student, and rm also baving financial difficulties remaining a student. I am more important than a parkway.
Dear Board of Truateea members, I know you have more
sense than this, at least I
thought you did. Where is your
sense of priority? Where is your
understanding of the human
condition on this campus? I
wish to god someone would
landscape my wardrobe for me .
. . . I wish someone would understand' namely the people
who dole out money around this
place. This is disgusting .

We Thank
You will probably notice
Cooper Point Journal staffers
wandering about the campus,
seemingly catatonic, for the
next several weeks - testimony
to the fact that this Cooper
Point Journal barely made it off
the lay-out tables this vear.
Seventy-five·hour work
weeks, broken equipment, missing stories (and writers), and
late-night slap-happy seuions
have all taken their toll on this
brave little staff. All we can say
is "Whew'"
The Journal is Evergreen's
campus newspaper, entirely
managed and written by students. Exactly one year ago the
long-time faculty advisor moved
on and left the Journal without a guiding light. But we have
improved despite that.

Our core of fearless writers
and contributors varies in size,
from three people at one point
this summer, to fifty-plus for
the Orientation Issue before
you. We depend largely on people who just show up to offer
their services - writing, photography, graphics, diet pop.
Often these hard -working souls
stick around and become part of
a loosely formed group known
as our "contributors."
This issue is unlike anything
we put out during the rest of
the year - mainly in size. We
are 80 used to eight pages that
nightmares about seeing pages
25 through 32 swirling down a
giant toilet have been common.
Most importantly, this issue
contains information we often
do not have the time or fore-
Us
sight to print during the school
year.
Especially intriguing is the
"Guide to the Faculty" on pages
14 and 15. Here we have attempted to profile Evergreen's
individual faculty members their strengths and weaknesses,
their personalities and non-personalities. New students will
find it especially helpful.
You will not want ·to miss
"How to Open Evergreen's
Doors" on page 11. Everything
you have been asking about
getting into programs and
individual contracts is probably
there.
Remember: the Journal is
completely run by students. We
will need writers, photographers
and cartoonists throughout the
year. So come on up and visit.
Dig a Duck
by Stephen G. Rabow
Evergreen's mascot is the Geoduck (pronounced Gooey-Duck).
It s anti-mascot appearances made
it very attractive to those who
made that decis io n in 1970. The
sy mbol soon became the subject
ot numerous songs, stories, and
jokes that kept the Evergreen
s pi ri t a li ve through the first
<;t rugglin g years of the school.
The most popular of these might
we ll have been Evergreen playwright Malcolm Stilson's song
which was regularly featured in
his plays:
" Go, Geoducks go,
through the mud and the
sa nd let's go.
Siphon high.
~quir t it out ,
,w ivci all about.
lei it a ll hang out.
Go. Genducks go,
st retch your necks when the
tide is low ."
Much ,)f the reaso n the geoduck i_ now a n accepted norm
here is due 10 the slick commercial i7.d tion 0 1 the symbo l by the
Evergrl'en bookstore. Yet, no
matter how cu te the geoduck
may appear on window decals.
swea t shirts. or as h-trays, an encounter with the live version is
nothing short of impressive.
The Geoduck (Panopea generosa) is the Northwes t's largest
clam. The sip hon and body
bu lge way beyond the perimeter
of the s he ll. th e shell being
unable to keep up with the bi valve's grow th. Geoducks grow
about one inch per year in shell
length for the fir st four years of
life. The growth rate is reduced
after this period . The average
size is reac hed in five to six years
- an amazing average of 2.2
pounds. The average shell length
is 5.6 inches. [t is estimated that
the [if I' span of the geoduck is 20
years or more and that there are
some 114, 700,000 residen~ geoducks in the Puget Sound area.
Geoduck is the rough spelling
of the Indian word "gweduc." To
the Nisqually "gweduc" meant
"dig deep. " For thousands of
years Northwest Indians ate the
giant clam, but when white se ttlers moved in, they were overcome with nausea and embarras ment by the obscene-looking biva lve. Geoducks were actually
banned from public sale in Taco ma in th e early 1880's, but the
law was soo n wisely repealed .
What does one do with a geo duck? Well. there are no vibrating models being marketed at
thi s time but th ere is talk of a
sci-fi film to be shot in Olympia
ca lled "King Clam." The film is
supposedly about an atomic experiment on the Trident submarine base that goes haywire and
affects a geoduck whic h, as a re-
su it of radioactive exposure,
starts growing at a phenomenal
rate. The last scene is scheduled
to take place on Capito l Way,
the geoduck eventually work ing
its way up to the Capitol build ing where.
awww forget it,
that would spoil the ending.
C lam hunters know that there
is no easy way to catch a geoduck. A lazy man 's gu ide to obtaining one of these lovable critters is to buy o ne. They are
available locally fresh or frozen,
who le or chopped, for around
fif ty cents per pound . A geoduck
is one of the most unique gifts
you can send to an out-of-state
friend. A lth ough geoducks have
been found as far north as southeas tern Alaska and as far south
as Baja California, they are not
commonplace outside' the northwestern coast.
Geouuck burgers are served in
some local restaurants for those
with a taste for adventure. The
taste, by the way, is similar to
3balone. On rainy Olympia
days. "let' s have geoduck" is one
answer that will provide an in te rest ing afternoon of cooking
and unique feasting. Here ;Ire a
few rec ipes :
Geoduck Omelet
Add one-half cup chopped
LETTERS
onions and one-half cup ground,
minced, or finely chopped geodu ck to hot , well-greased pan
(bacon fat for those who dare)
and cook at medium high heat
for two minutes . Stir in two
tablespoons fine dry bread
crumbs (and cooked bacon). Use
this geoduck filling in your omelet.
Geoduck Chowder
Cook two cups diced potatoes,
one cup chopped onions, and
one cup chopped celery until
tender. Add four cups milk and
one chopped, ground, or :ninced
geoduck; heat and simmer (do
not boil). Add salt and pepper to
taste. A lazy person's version of
this is relying on one can creamof-potato soup and one-half
ca n of clam juice added to the
geod uck.
Gcodllck Frillers
Using fresh geuduck, cut oneeighth -inch-thick slices of mantic (skinned) into about one by
two-inch pieces. In a bowl stir
together one and one-third cup
prepared biscuit mix, one egg,
and one cup milk unti l blended.
Heat sa lad oil or fat in a wide
fryin g pan (a depth of about
one-third inch ), Cook until crisp
and brown, about 45 seconds on
each side.
ASH is talking about this
"new approach" and its "new
ideas." This certainly is a new
idea and a new approach to rent
collecting. When will the students
here find housing that is not so
slimy and underhanded 7

I was extremely pleased to
read that the deans are finally
taking some positive action regarding delinquent faculty evaluations. I myself have had to
struggle to get an evaluation
more than seven months overdue, and I know others who
have been hampered in getting
jobs or applying to graduate
school because of tardy evaluations. Faculty who aren' t organized enough to turn in eva luations on time shouldn't be teaching at Evergreen.
What reall y disturbed me
about the article, though , was
th.lt some faculty seem to be
passing the blame for the ir late
evaluations on to the deans ,
claiming that the "enforcement"
of thi s new policy should have
occurred earlier . It appears that
these delinquent faculty are trying to cover up their guilt by
crying unfair , when the blame
for lat e eva luations rea lly lies
with them.
I would li ke to extend my since re thanks to Ed Kormondy and
others who are taking a hard line
on faculty evaluations . Keep up
the good work!

I should like to comment about
your Mr. Shore's review of
"Robin and Marian" which appeared in a recent issue of the
CPT. His review, I am grieved to
say, was completely mistaken. It
may even have caused, perish
the thought, Miss Hepburn some
pain. But from the little that he
did say in this unfortunate review, I suspect that your Mr.
Shore is a man of few years and
as yet undeveloped heart, and,
hence, that he must be forgiven
rather than punished. You might
encourage him to reread the
"Transcendental Aesthetic" section of Kant's Critique of Pure
Reason, read, for obViously the
first time, Kant's quite romantically inspired Critique of Judgement, and to wait patiently for
his better middle years.
Sincerely yours,

Learning it by Living It
Co-operative Education -It Works!
Adventures in Nepal
by Judy Annis,
Evergreen News Director
When 18 college students leave
their homeland - the most in dustrially developed nation in
the world - to spend ten months
in Nepal - one of the least industrially developed coun tries on
the globe - chances are they
won ' t come home exactly as they
lett.
And , according to three students from Evergreen who ju~t
re i umed from several months ~ in
Nepa l. they, indeed , aren ' t the
same people they were last sumn1er.
T hev a ll faced a degree of poverl v and disease never imagined
in Ihe U~S~ They saw death,
quite lilerally , ly in g in city
s lr eels, They le a rned to live
Witho ut elec tr ici ty, runn in g
wa ter, telephones, and without
roads a nd motor vehicles . The
expe ri ence forced each of them
to reexamine their roles as America ns and, to a person , they all
had to learn new defin it ions for
. hea lth " and " patience. "
As Kristin Adams, a California
pre-med student who served as a
Nepali village doctor for three
months, says, "we all had to re define what 'health' was. You're
not sick in Nepal if you just
have diarrhea but are feeling a ll
right in general." like the rest of
her Evergreen companions, Kristin lost weight in Nepal and had
her ~roubles with intestinal parasites. " But," she adds with a
grin, " \ also came back with
more muscle than I had when I
left ."
The muscles came from having
to wa lk everywhere, for Nepal
has roads only in Katmandu and
a few , towns, and every place
there is measured by "how many

Laurie Woodall. a Virginia
graduating senior, covered much
of the country by herself on
foot. She spent nearly two
months on the now famous "Everest Cleanup Hike," which took
her and four other Evergreeners
to the base camp of Mt. Everest.
There they spent three weeks
picking up refuse left by trekkers
and climbers - and earning
themselves front page headlines
on newspapers across the world.
Her travels across what she calls
"that beautiful country - unlike
anything I've ever seen," helped
her gain a new perspective on
her own culture while she gathered information and collected
plant specimens for her individual research study on ayurdevic
(herbal) medicine ,
"The one thing I really had to
learn was an incredible amount
of patience from the Nepali peopie," she says. "You have to
learn to be patient there or you'd
go out of your mind ."
For all the students - and
their Evergreen faculty sponsors,
Dr. David Peterson and his wife
Kath leen - patience was essential. They agree "nothing gets
done quickly in Nepal. You must
learn to slow down."
Learning to slow down - and
to adapt to the many changes
the ancient, but tiny (500 miles
long by 100 miles wide) monarchial cou ntry had in store for them
-'- took time.
Dr. Peterson , a physician and
ed ucator who first visited Nepal
in 1971 to attempt a climb of
Mt. Everest. says his students began preparing for their trip last
year. with one quarter of
dren.
academic work on campus on
the history and culture of NE'pal
and on the beginnings of language instruction,
But their real learning began
last August when the group first
assembled at Nepal's Experiment
in International Living Quarters
in thE' heart of Katmandu.
Housed in an old rustic palace,
students immediately plunged
into two months of intensive language training, taught by four
Nepali instructors who spoke
only in their nati ve tongue
throughout the five-hour - a-day
classes. After each session, stu dents spent their afternoons practicing their lessons on the streets
and in the shops of Katmandu.
They were learning more than
language those first two months.
They were finding out what it's
lik e to live in a country where
the average life expectancy for
city dwellers is 38 years ~ for
"hill people" only 28; where infant mortality is so high women
have an average of nine pregnancies in order to bring two
children to young adulthood;
where preventative medicine is
unavailable and sanitary facilities
don't exist.
As Dr . Peterson explains,
"' '! here, ar~ no sewage or water
delivery system s, even in the
cities. In fact, there are no
sanitary systems of any kind. It
is," he adds, "a very difficult environment to live in ."
Malnutrition is the number
one health problem, followed by
worms; amoebic, giardia and
bacillary dysentery; tuberculosis
and leprosy. Ma:aria is "close to
erad ication ,"' but many other diseases Westerners regard as .ex tinct still threaten human life.
Poor health conditions are directly tied to the Nepali diet
which consist s of rice or potatoes with little meat , some fruits
and vegetables in certain lim ited areas, and,very seldomly. a
taste of milk, cheese, eggs or
ch icken; but the latter are lux uries to the average Nepali famiy. Vitamins are unki1own, as is
the whole concept of nutrition.
All the Evergreen students ate
what was available - and all
lost weight. "No one got malaria,"' Dr. Peterson reports, "but
everyone had some form of dysentery."
During their entire stay, Evergreeners operated on cine basic
dietary assumption, he says, ''Everything we ate or drank was
contaminated. We boiled all our
water, but we still expected to be
sick about 25 percent of the
time ." But, he hastens to add,
"the health hazards quickly became insignificant."
As Evergreen senior Sallie
Hancock says, .. We became
proud of the hardships we endured."
Sallie, who became the first
white woman kayaker in Nepal
during her stay, came home to
Ohio in early spring. But her
shortened stay didn't diminish
her enthusiasm for Nepal and,
more especially, for its people,
'They are incredibly close to
God," s~e says. "When you're
with them , you feel in touch
with the Biblical prediction that
the meek and humble shall inherit the earth ."' The people are
"spiritual" and "generous," she
says, and "somehow very elegant.
They can be living in mud
shacks , eating off the floor with
goats and chickens wandering in
and out, but they're beautiful."
Sallie says she was constantly
struck "with the smiles the people directed at us ." And, she was
impressed with the women.
"They're often dressed in rags
and dirty , their hair slicked
down with mustard oil. But
they're lovely. "
Being around them forced the
Evergreen women to change their
views, Sallie says . "We all got
more into dress ing up, wearing
ribbons in our hair and saris. I
became more feminine and really
developed a strong awareness of
womanness," she says.
Dr. Peterson, Laurie and Kristin echo Sallie's co nclusions .
"Women in shorts or pants are
considered of the lowest cast in
Nepa li 's social hierarchy," Dr.
Peterson explains. "'They are immediate outcasts ' and viewed as
women of questionable moral
character , To become accepted ,
our women h ad to change their
appearances. And, within two
months, they were all wearing
long skirts and saris,"
While the coeds were learn ing a new code of dress, they
also had to comprehend a very
different view of women held by
Nepali men. " In Nepal, men are
like Gods and women are their
pawns in the game of life," he
says. "Theirs is a very religiously
dictated way of life and everyone
has a dictated role."
Students began to understand
those roles after their first two
weeks when each of them moved
o ut of the communal palace into
the home of a Nepali family for
six weeks. Most of the families
spoke no English, so the students
really had to survive on their
own .
Laurie, who lived with a family of six , had her own room,
but still found it very difficult to
"'get over my need for privacy."
"'They liked to come and look at
me," she remembers, "and I just
couldn't be by myself." She
found her vocabulary limited, so
it "was difficult to find something to talk to them about." She
missed being able to cook and
"craved chocolate and ice
cream." Unlike the rest of her
Evergreen friends, she was glad
when her six-week family experience was over, and she was tree
to trek across Nepal to begin her
academic project,
Gathering plant samples and
interviewing Nepalis filled most
of her days, as Laurie set about
studying ayurdevic medicine,
which relies on herbal rather
than chemical remedies. She had
no background to assist her
studies, but found people more
than Willing to talk with her, including an ayurdevic doctor
from whom she took classes for
six weeks .
Laurie learned how to collect
the right specimens from him,
but the most worthwhile things
she gathered were impressions,
not plants,
"Getting to live in a totally different culture helped me gain a
perspective of my own culture,"
she says. "I foulld I had a lot
stronger sense of being an American - and that I felt less critical
of America than I had before,"
Laurie also discovered Nepali
life "is really simple. The people
don't have a broad perspective.
Many live all their lives in one
small village and they're concerned only with their immediate
area, and with keeping themselvp < alive and raising their children.
"The women have to keep
having kids," she adds, "because
so often their babies die in infancy, It's very difficult to tell
Nepali women to stop having
children because they have to
have sons to carry on the family
line."
As a pre-med student Kristin
was particularly interested in
medical care in Nepal. She
studied science and physiology at
Evergreen and worked part-time
in the college health clinic. Once
in Nepal, she worked at a Katmandu clinic for awhile, then got
a chance to practice clinical medicine in a tiny place "two days'
walk" from Katmandu.
There she worked as the .village doctor with two Nepali
men, each equipped with only
six to eight weeks of medical
training and no understanding of
English, Kristin spent three
months treating villagers, applying her basic background in first
aid and "my upbringing in the
traditions of Western medicine"
to everything from intestinal
parasites to broken arms, respiratory congestion to obstetrics.
"It was really an intense experience," she understates, "I was
considered the village doctor
though I've had no formal traming."
Kristin had to establish her
own guidelines for what she
could treat. "They expected me
to treat everything, but I
couldn't. I wasn't ' doing a lot of

risky things like surgery though I
did 'deliver' one baby. I really
just watched it - it was an easy

what they were doing ."
She set one broken arm with
only Xylocaine for anesthetic.
"The people are incredibly toler a nt of pain, " she observes. Most
often, though, she found herself
treating worms and other gastrointestinal parasites, and striving
to educate Nepalis on food cleanliness.
"'There's nothing you can do
now about their water sources,
and no way you can get everyone to boil their water, so educa tion doesn ' t help much and patients' worms reoccur even if you
do manage to eradicate them for
awhile," she says.
Her experience offered "a good
insight into the role of western
medicine," she notes , "I really
came to believe that a lot of
medicine - western or eastern
- depends on faith. If people
have faith in the doctor or
system that 's treating them, they
are often healed."
Though Kristin was able to
work as a doctor, she was also
very conscious that she was a
woman. "For one thing," the
blonde 20-year-old comments,
"the men were infatuated with
us . They saw us as really free
and loose and they often wanted
to marry us.
"We'd be a real status symbol," she adds, "plus we were a
source of curiosity." Kristin said
she was a "much happier woman
now" because of her Nepali adventure .
Dr. Peterson says. "When Kathy
left. she was offered a job as
senior researcher for the whole
restorat ion project. She hated to
lurn it down. "
No t all th e Evergreen students

Walking is the only way to get anywhere in Nepal , and bridges like this one, being crossed by Dr. Dave
Peterson, are common.
"A merican women have a
hard time with their role as
women - being only recently
convinced that there is no difference between men and women,
but having impulses that are difFerent.. Women in Nepal accept
those differences , They don't
wear pants. They don't look at
men or touch water during the
first four days of their menstrual
periods ('iF you do, you're punished in your next life and so are
the men you look at'), and they
accept and respond to a variety
of rituals," Kristin said,
The major ritual for women in which all the Evergreen coeds
participated during their first six
weeks in Nepal - is UTij," a
three-day cleansing festival when
all women must go down to the
river ("which is just filthy") and
wash themselves 360 times for
each day of the year, keeping
their petticoats on, but getting
themselves "clean" of any guilt
for any transgressions made during the past year.
The Tij and other rituals
which dominate Nepali life are
not always understood by the 13
million people who inhabit the
subtropical monarchy. They accept the rituals and follow them
closely without examining their
purpose, Instead they recognize
the ceremonies as part of their
country's history.
Dr. Peterson says the original
dynasty which united Nepal
more than two centuries ago
loosely combined 70 different
tribes, each speaking mutually
unintelligible languages. In the
early 1950's, the country was re-
united under the present Shah
rule with what he describes as
"an honest-to-God monarchy."
"'The king is believed to be the
reincarnat ion of a Hindu God,
Vishnu, and is the head of both
church and state," he adds .
Kathleen Peterson got a chance
to really absorb some of the his tory of the country while work·
ing as a researcher with the
United Nations restoration project at Hanuman Dhoka, the old
royal palace. She carried with
her an academic background in
Buddhist icongraphy and applied
it to her task of interpreting the
symbols which adorn 188 struts
of the B~satapur tower of the
palace.
'The palace is decorated with
powerful imagery, very significant for the present dynasty ,"
Tibetan Buddhists .
All of their work - as well as
that done by the Evergreeners

Learning it by Living It
Co-operative Education -It Works!
Adventures in Nepal
by Judy Annis,
Evergreen News Director
When 18 college students leave
their homeland - the most in dustrially developed nation in
the world - to spend ten months
in Nepal - one of the least industrially developed coun tries on
the globe - chances are they
won ' t come home exactly as they
lett.
And , according to three students from Evergreen who ju~t
re i umed from several months ~ in
Nepa l. they, indeed , aren ' t the
same people they were last sumn1er.
T hev a ll faced a degree of poverl v and disease never imagined
in Ihe U~S~ They saw death,
quite lilerally , ly in g in city
s lr eels, They le a rned to live
Witho ut elec tr ici ty, runn in g
wa ter, telephones, and without
roads a nd motor vehicles . The
expe ri ence forced each of them
to reexamine their roles as America ns and, to a person , they all
had to learn new defin it ions for
. hea lth " and " patience. "
As Kristin Adams, a California
pre-med student who served as a
Nepali village doctor for three
months, says, "we all had to re define what 'health' was. You're
not sick in Nepal if you just
have diarrhea but are feeling a ll
right in general." like the rest of
her Evergreen companions, Kristin lost weight in Nepal and had
her ~roubles with intestinal parasites. " But," she adds with a
grin, " \ also came back with
more muscle than I had when I
left ."
The muscles came from having
to wa lk everywhere, for Nepal
has roads only in Katmandu and
a few , towns, and every place
there is measured by "how many
days' walk it is" to somewhere
else.
Laurie Woodall. a Virginia
graduating senior, covered much
of the country by herself on

into rea l, productive, tangible resu lts.

colltinu ed from page 6
risky things like surgery though I
did 'deliver' one baby. I really
just watched it - it was an easy
delivery, and the women knew
what they were doing ."
She set one broken arm with
only Xylocaine for anesthetic.
"The people are incredibly toler a nt of pain, " she observes. Most
often, though, she found herself
treating worms and other gastrointestinal parasites, and striving
to educate Nepalis on food cleanliness.
"'There's nothing you can do
now about their water sources,
and no way you can get everyone to boil their water, so educa tion doesn ' t help much and patients' worms reoccur even if you
do manage to eradicate them for
awhile," she says.
Her experience offered "a good
insight into the role of western
medicine," she notes , "I really
came to believe that a lot of
medicine - western or eastern
- depends on faith. If people
have faith in the doctor or
system that 's treating them, they
are often healed."
Though Kristin was able to
work as a doctor, she was also
very conscious that she was a
woman. "For one thing," the
blonde 20-year-old comments,
"the men were infatuated with
us . They saw us as really free
and loose and they often wanted
to marry us.
"We'd be a real status symbol," she adds, "plus we were a
source of curiosity." Kristin said
she was a "much happier woman
now" because of her Nepali adventure .
Dr. Peterson says. "When Kathy
left. she was offered a job as
senior researcher for the whole
restorat ion project. She hated to
lurn it down. "
No t all th e Evergreen students
have left. Some continue their
academic resea rch in a variety of
subjec t area s. One st udent is
continuing her work on a linguistic project , studying th e relation ship between two tribal lan guages: another is working on
~, family planning; st ill another is
on a retreat in tradition a l Bud·

~ hours a da y, seven days a week ;
; and two others are staying in
~ Nepal to study the traditions of
:::J
Walking is the only way to get anywhere in Nepal , and bridges like this one, being crossed by Dr. Dave
Peterson, are common.
"A merican women have a
hard time with their role as
women - being only recently
convinced that there is no difference between men and women,
but having impulses that are difFerent.. Women in Nepal accept
those differences , They don't
wear pants. They don't look at
men or touch water during the
first four days of their menstrual
periods ('iF you do, you're punished in your next life and so are
the men you look at'), and they
accept and respond to a variety
of rituals," Kristin said,
The major ritual for women in which all the Evergreen coeds
participated during their first six
weeks in Nepal - is UTij," a
three-day cleansing festival when
all women must go down to the
river ("which is just filthy") and
wash themselves 360 times for
each day of the year, keeping
their petticoats on, but getting
themselves "clean" of any guilt
for any transgressions made during the past year.
The Tij and other rituals
which dominate Nepali life are
not always understood by the 13
million people who inhabit the
subtropical monarchy. They accept the rituals and follow them
closely without examining their
purpose, Instead they recognize
the ceremonies as part of their
country's history.
Dr. Peterson says the original
dynasty which united Nepal
more than two centuries ago
loosely combined 70 different
tribes, each speaking mutually
unintelligible languages. In the
early 1950's, the country was re-
united under the present Shah
rule with what he describes as
"an honest-to-God monarchy."
"'The king is believed to be the
reincarnat ion of a Hindu God,
Vishnu, and is the head of both
church and state," he adds .
Kathleen Peterson got a chance
to really absorb some of the his tory of the country while work·
ing as a researcher with the
United Nations restoration project at Hanuman Dhoka, the old
royal palace. She carried with
her an academic background in
Buddhist icongraphy and applied
it to her task of interpreting the
symbols which adorn 188 struts
of the B~satapur tower of the
palace.
'The palace is decorated with
powerful imagery, very significant for the present dynasty ,"
Tibetan Buddhists .
All of their work - as well as
that done by the Evergreeners
who have returned home - was
done w ith the assistance of T ribhuvan University, Nepal's only
university. Dr. Peterson said the
un i versi ty' s research di vision.
which functions to assist graduate students in programs from
all over the world, "handled Evergreen li ke a regular graduate
program." Students got their
visas through the university and
in turn have delivered or will deliver copies of their reports to
the institution for future use by
other scholars.
Those who have returned to
campus are completing their finai
reports , developing reels of film .
and seeking the company of their
companions to relive the varied ,
exotic and genuinely movin~ experience they all shared ... .n

S&A Board
Executive Secretary
S&A (Services and Activities)
Fees are made up of money from
each student 's tuition ($48 .50
from full-time non-residents and
$52.50 from full-time residents).
By state law this money is to be
used explicitly for student activities. The mode set down by the
legislature of allocation of this
money is vague and variously interpreted . The law states that
there must be "adequate student
input on budgeting and expenditures of services and activities
fees . . ." (House Floor Resolution Number 76 - 66) .
Students appear to see the
funds as "student money" while
the administration and · the Board
of Trustees seem to consider it
"state money." In an S&A Board
meeting on March 3, 1976 Administrative Vice President Dean
Claba ugh spoke to this distinction " ... One of the basic in consistencies is that board mem bers have called these funds student money. The. only thing the
college is obligated to do is to
consult a couple of students and
it becomes state money . .. if
the coll ege wa nted it to be spent
on balloons it would be spent on
ball oons. "
The S&A Board is the closest
thing to a st udent government
instit ution that Evergreen has. It
does not functio n as a representative of student views, it has no
popu lar mandate. The n at u re
and function of the S&A Board
at this time leave it no mecha nism for dealing with fundamental issues and ideas.
It is becoming more and more
appare nt to me that the S&A
Board is a divisive force among
st udents. The fact that money is

Students w ho want to find ou t
what's happening - or to tell
others w hat they' re involved in
- can do it all in two stops,
maybe even one, depending on
the type of information they
wish to gather or disseminate .
The Office of Coliege Relations, housed on the third floor
of the Library Building, and the
Information Center, headquartered on the ma in mall of the
Coll ege Activities Building, are
both aimed at helping Evergreeners keep in touch with each other
and at helping the "outside
world" find out what's going on.
The primary task of College
Relations is to provide informa tion to off-campus folks. To do
so, OCR operates a News Bureau, headed by Judy Annis,
who writes and publishes news
releases to off-campus media, including feature stories on what
students, staff or faculty are doing, plus "hard news" about special events, such as Board of
Trustee meetings, and informational items about campus activJiles to which the public is invited.
In addition, the News Bureau
publishes two weekly Newsletters - a' two-page off-campus
publication mailed to some 900
area subscribers and 20 local
restaurants for free distribution
to their customers - and a fourto-six page on-campus publication aimed at Evergreeners.
The Happenings, which lists
all upcoming events for each
seven-day period, is also edited
by the News Bureau for on-campus distribution. Information is
received at the Information Center by noon each Wednesday
and delivered to the News Bureau for publication the following Friday. Both Newsletters also
share information gathered at the
Center and have the same Wed-
nesday noon deadline, with a Friday publica tion date. Students
sponsoring even ts and seeking
pub lic ity may want to note those
two Wednesday noon deadlines.
More than a source of Happenings events, the Information
Center is the place to find out
wha t's going on . Staffed by three
students and run by Student Coordinator Larry Mausch, who reports to the Office of College Relations, the Information Center
posts an up-to-date master calendar of events, which covers
the upcoming six weeks; it maintains the whole raft of bulletin
boards around its perimeter,
helping fo lks find out what's
happening "Today," or "Tomorrow," what news releases are being sent out, what cultural even ts
are scheduled in the area, which
Disappearing Task Forces (DTF )
have been crea ted and so forth.
Information Center staffers
also answer a steady barrage of
questions both over the counter
and over the telephone. They
maintain file s on important col·
lege meetings and on DTFs, and
have at hand - or ca n ge t just about any information a student may seek.
Bot h offices are open from 8
a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays, and
both are determined to serve
your informa tional needs. If yo u
have any questions about what's
going on, or any items you want
to share - either with on- or
off-campus folks - keep the Information Center and the Office
of College Relations in mind .
T hey're both on campus to serve
you.

S&A Board
Executive Secretary
S&A (Services and Activities)
Fees are made up of money from
each student 's tuition ($48 .50
from full-time non-residents and
$52.50 from full-time residents).
By state law this money is to be
used explicitly for student activities. The mode set down by the
legislature of allocation of this
money is vague and variously interpreted . The law states that
there must be "adequate student
input on budgeting and expenditures of services and activities
fees . . ." (House Floor Resolution Number 76 - 66) .
Students appear to see the
funds as "student money" while
the administration and · the Board
of Trustees seem to consider it
"state money." In an S&A Board
meeting on March 3, 1976 Administrative Vice President Dean
Claba ugh spoke to this distinction " ... One of the basic in consistencies is that board mem bers have called these funds student money. The. only thing the
college is obligated to do is to
consult a couple of students and
it becomes state money . .. if
the coll ege wa nted it to be spent
on balloons it would be spent on
ball oons. "
The S&A Board is the closest
thing to a st udent government
instit ution that Evergreen has. It
does not functio n as a representative of student views, it has no
popu lar mandate. The n at u re
and function of the S&A Board
at this time leave it no mecha nism for dealing with fundamental issues and ideas.
It is becoming more and more
appare nt to me that the S&A
Board is a divisive force among
st udents. The fact that money is

Students w ho want to find ou t
what's happening - or to tell
others w hat they' re involved in
- can do it all in two stops,
maybe even one, depending on
the type of information they
wish to gather or disseminate .
The Office of Coliege Relations, housed on the third floor
of the Library Building, and the
Information Center, headquartered on the ma in mall of the
Coll ege Activities Building, are
both aimed at helping Evergreeners keep in touch with each other
and at helping the "outside
world" find out what's going on.
The primary task of College
Relations is to provide informa tion to off-campus folks. To do
so, OCR operates a News Bureau, headed by Judy Annis,
who writes and publishes news
releases to off-campus media, including feature stories on what
students, staff or faculty are doing, plus "hard news" about special events, such as Board of
Trustee meetings, and informational items about campus activJiles to which the public is invited.
In addition, the News Bureau
publishes two weekly Newsletters - a' two-page off-campus
publication mailed to some 900
area subscribers and 20 local
restaurants for free distribution
to their customers - and a fourto-six page on-campus publication aimed at Evergreeners.
The Happenings, which lists
all upcoming events for each
seven-day period, is also edited
by the News Bureau for on-campus distribution. Information is
received at the Information Center by noon each Wednesday
and delivered to the News Bureau for publication the following Friday. Both Newsletters also
share information gathered at the
Center and have the same Wed-
nesday noon deadline, with a Friday publica tion date. Students
sponsoring even ts and seeking
pub lic ity may want to note those
two Wednesday noon deadlines.
More than a source of Happenings events, the Information
Center is the place to find out
wha t's going on . Staffed by three
students and run by Student Coordinator Larry Mausch, who reports to the Office of College Relations, the Information Center
posts an up-to-date master calendar of events, which covers
the upcoming six weeks; it maintains the whole raft of bulletin
boards around its perimeter,
helping fo lks find out what's
happening "Today," or "Tomorrow," what news releases are being sent out, what cultural even ts
are scheduled in the area, which
Disappearing Task Forces (DTF )
have been crea ted and so forth.
Information Center staffers
also answer a steady barrage of
questions both over the counter
and over the telephone. They
maintain file s on important col·
lege meetings and on DTFs, and
have at hand - or ca n ge t just about any information a student may seek.
Bot h offices are open from 8
a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays, and
both are determined to serve
your informa tional needs. If yo u
have any questions about what's
going on, or any items you want
to share - either with on- or
off-campus folks - keep the Information Center and the Office
of College Relations in mind .
T hey're both on campus to serve
you.

"WE ALL ARE EVERGREEN"
'.
f
/'
by Cheryl Pegues
Gig Commission Coord ina tor
S<, here we are - back to
scho<, 1 again for yet another year
ot academic bliss. To all new stu dents. welcome to Evergreen,
where, depending on your stamina and stre ngth of mind, a ll
vour educatiunal dreams may
come true.
Orientation Week is our effort
to faci litate at least partial realization of those dreams. By letting
you know where you are, and
w here we are, we can all survive
and grow here together. We
hope to help you enjoy Evergreen and to accomplish your
personal academic goals.
The sudden educational and
socia l freedom, the culture shock
a nd homesickness some of you
may expe rience, coupled with
the cha nges in faculty and staff,
the reorganization of facilities
and chan ges in registration pr~
ced ure we are experiencing, can
combine to produce a great deal
of friction - especially as we are
a ll reaching our toes into the
cold uncertainties ,of a new year.
. ientation Week serves as a
pleasant buffer against that friction by providing us with common ground to share.
With emphasis on outreach
this year, organizers of Orientation and their staff have hopefully created an environment
where a new student can feel relaxed and supported while pre paring for his or her new academic and social life at Evergreen, and returning students can
renew old acquaintances with
friends and members of the Evergreen commun ity. Registration ,
academic advising, program
choice, meeting people, making
new friends, and learning to
cope with others from different
social and economic backgrounds
- each is covered by some aspect of Orientation.
Several new items in Orientation Week this year include the
big all campus meeting "Everybody All Together," Monday
morning, designed to inspire a
feeling of unity and to let you
know you are Evergreen, as we
all are Evergreen, and can only
exist here with the mutual cooperation of students, staff, and
faculty. During this meeting
President McCann will be introduced, a brief explanation of
registration by Registrar Walker
Allen presented, and the highlight of the meeting, a dramatic
presentation by Joye Peskin, a
facu lty member in the Chautauqua program, ent itled "I Am Evergreen." The presentation will
depict some of the paper-pushing,
passing-the-buck, and administrative-type hassles students experience at Evergreen and show
ways to get around them.
The traditional tables set up
by the S&A funded student
groups to involve others in their
activ ities, have been expanded
on, a nd this year each student
group or a representative will
Student Survival
give a brief explanation of their
group's goals and functions as
well as manning the tables for
sign-ups. The Registrar's Office
will be open longer hours to
allow working community members to register in the evenings,
And volunteers sporting green
arm bands will be availdble to
aid in registration, finding a
bathroom, or just being someone
students can talk to, those first
few, sometimes lonely, days.
Still. after all these valiant efforts by us, you are still the
most important person. Please
help us help you, It's very im portant that you attend the Orientation functions or they are of
no va lue. Reach out a little to
us, too.
I personally hope you find Evergreen to be whatever you had
in mind - and if not, to make it
that way. Good luck.

Close your catalog supplement
and open your Cooper Point
Journal. The information you'll
find here is 2,300 times more important than what you'll divine
out of there . That information is
true enough, but ours is from the
best teacher.
For instance, it is a fact that
the faculty member you end up
working with is far more important than all the program descriptions, booklists, and curriculums
combined. It is the faculty in any
given program who determine its
structure, - readings, and substance. It is your faculty sem inar
leader who conducts your seminar, which is the closest thing to
a class you'll ever find here (excepting modular studies, of
course) . It is your faculty member who confers with you individua lly, guides you , works with
you. and who finally writes your
evalua tion. Thus, you can be in
a program which has little in
common with your interests, or
be in a program which is a total
flop for all involved, yet still
have a fantastic educational experience if you got the faculty
member who was right for you.
Evergreen is above all designed
to provide an education tailored
to the individual. That is the
major difference between this
school and most others. The
only difference between first and
fourth year students are the persons themselves. That means
you' ll have to take much more
respo nsibi lity for your own educat ion than you would at another schooL and it means you
should know everyth in g you
need to about the ins and outs of
this system to enable you to do
that.
There are several ways to approach the decisions you must
make before enrolling in a course
of academ ic st udy at Evergreen.
You can choose a faculty member and then enroll in whatever
he or she is doing that quarter.

called the Academic Adv iser
(Mary Moorehead in LAB 1008,

the college and whose services

everywhere you turn during Orientation Week. She will prove
helpful in steering you over to

in the field you are interested i~

information at her fingertips. But
don't forget that the only firsthand information you'll ever get
will come from the mouth of a

faculty: "Find a top notch faculty member and learn whatever
it is they are teaching.") You can
find a program or group contract
through reading and advice and
enroll in that. Or you can decide
that you' re ready for an intern ship or an individual contract
a nd start looking for the job
a nd I or a sponsor. Here are some
suggest ions that might make the
whole enrollme nt process much
easier.
The first thing most people
need , whether they do it for
themselves or approach someone
else, is advice. Anyone who has
read the catalog supplement is
familiar with the vague and ambiguous language used in almost
every program description. There
is good reason for the vagueness:
Most of these descriptions were
written last winter before most
progra m faculty had even met
each other, let alone spent much
time thinking about the structure
and substance of a program to
be taught nine or ten months
quirements at Evergreen, prob·
ably the one common thin);
everyone learns here is that persistence pays off and never take
no for an answer. And that is
one of the most valuable thing~
anyone can learn anywhere. It is
easy to be intim idated by people
who seem important because
they posses a skullful of "know 1ledge" or a file-ful of degrees
and titles. But they are all here
to serve you, as is the school
itself . Evergreen is funded mostly
by the tax money of you and
your parents, a nd you pay for
everything you get here. You are
a consumer buying a product ,
and as such there is no reason
why you should not be able to
shop around, ask questions, and
make sure you're goi ng to be sa tisfied before you've spent your
money and received possibly the
short end of the bargain.
After talking to people about
their respective programs, it is
quite possible you will find
nothing that is exactly what you
wanted. Should you return your
green card and go back home to
Issaquah 7 Not necessarily. Every- •
one is a lways touting Evergreen's
"fl exibility," and here is your
cha nce to put it into practice .
Ju,l because the faculty have
written some sort of syllabus for
a program does not mean it is
the final word. One lonely student speaking up can effect wondrous changes. If you want to do
something that varies from the
program plan, discuss it with
your seminar leader or program
coordinator. Dep"ll~ ! :1g on the
program faculty, you may '\"(
able to do a completely independent, project that has little to
do with program activities, or
you may have to read every
book, attend every meeting, and
carry it a ll out to the letter. If
you've got an idea, ask about it.
If you've got a point, don't hesitate to press it.
Another way to get what you
want out of Evergreen is to do it
by Will Humphreys
Academic Dean
Curriculum and academic direction were "Big Issues" at Evergreen last year. In all probability they'll continue to occupy .ne
attention of the community in
1976-77 as well. Out of· last
year's ferment, however, a number of firm directions have
emerged and students will find it
a great deal easier to plan their
year-to-year selection of programs as a result.
Two major Disappearing Task
Forces - the Short-Range and
Long-Range Curriculum DTF's
- tackled the knotty problems
of defining what the college
stands for academically and
what kinds of offerings Evergreen
shou ld have on a continuing
basis. The Short-Range DTF laid
out this year's curriculum in considerable detail and, with only a
few exceptions, the programs offered this fall are the ones the
Short-Range DTF laid out last
winter quarter. A couple of programs had to be postponed or
scaled down because we couldn't
hire new faculty to staff them . A
few were added or dropped because of student interest - or
lack of it. The important thing
to note is that more than 90 per
cent of what the DTF planned is
being offered this year. This, in
spite of our wide ly publiCized
"enrollment problem," My point
is that the curriculum of the college is in very good shape and
students will have available this
year an excellent r~nge of offerings.
The Short-Range DTF also
concerned itself with the outline
of what is to be offered in 197778 . A majority of programs for
next year are already identified
as to area and subject matter and
the planning task this fall will be
to work -out .the details and fill in
the gaps. Essentially, we have
moved into a two -year planning
cycle. The implications of this
for students is that it is now possible to anticipate what will be
offered a year ahead of time,
and this is a welcome change
from the year-to-year uncertainties of the past. It does mean,
however, that students and faculty will not be free to re-work
the whole curriculum every year
as has been possible in the past.
Returning students will find
that the curricu lum for this year
is very responsive to the interests
and desires they expressed last
year. The planning process was
far less responsive than it should
have been, however, to the
needs of new students. Information on what was going to be offered did not reach prospective
new students until very late in
the year. By that time, a great
many had given up on ever
hearing from Evergreen and had
chosen to go elsewhere. One of
the highest priorities set by the
new Academic Deans for this
year is to avoid a repeat of that
mistake. Curriculum for 1977-78
is going to be planned with a
much tighter schedule and organiation, and faculty will be expected to assume a more aggressive role in getting the planning
done. Endless discussions of educational philosophy - which,
by definition, must go on at all
times here - will not be permitted to interfere with the necessity to make decisions and get
on with the process of teaching
and learning . Students, staff or
faculty who find that prospect
stifling should take heart from
the news that the Deans have
scheduled for spring quarter a
two-day All-Campus Colloquium on Directions and Goals of
the Institution, during which we
will all be involved in attempting '
to assess what the college is doing and where it is going.
The curriculum planning process this year should be aided
greatly by the work done last
spring by the students, faculty
and staff who participated in the
Long-Range Curriculum DTF.
The full report of the DTF is not
yet complete, bu t one segment
has already been accepted by the
Academ ic Deans and the process
of implementation has begun .
What this segment calls for is the
establishment of a definite set of
interdisciplinary specialty areas
in which students should regularly expect to find advanced
work available at Evergreen .
Nine general areas are involved:
Environmental Studies, Expressive Arts, Life and Health, Management and the Public Interest,
Marine Sciences and Crafts,
Northwest Native American Cultural Studies, Political Economy,
American and European Studies,
and Human Development.
Additional areas covered by the
DTF's plan include Basic Programs, and Experimental Specialties. The latter are areas to be
tried for a year or two as candidates for ultimate addition to
the list of nine specialties above.
Beginning this fall, faculty will
be working in planning groups
under these headings to develop
the details of 1977-78 programs
and programs for later years.
Students and staff will be welCOille to join these planning
groups and announcements· of
meetings will be made regularly.
There are other important new
developments regarding curriculum, not related to the Short and Long-Range DTF actions.
Late ' afternoon and evening
modular course offerings have
been substantially expanded as
part of the college's long-term
effort to improve service to the
Southwest Washin~ton area, as
well as to provide full-time oncampus students opportunities
not readily available in Coordinated Studies, Group Contracts
and Individual Contracts. In addition, there has been - and
will continue to be - expansion
of the college's outreach offer ings for students who cannot
come to the campus. Finally, it
should be mentioned that plans
are going forward to seek Legislative authorization to offer
graduate work leadint, to the
M.A. degree beginning ir 1977.
Two things about Evergreen
have not changed in the course
of Idst year's discussion and re organization: Evergreen remains
commi tted to providing exciting,
liberal-arts based, interdisciplinary programs. And the chief
vehicle for this is - and will be
- Coordinated Studies. We'll be
doing more such programs next
year than this year. And as we
learn from our experience they
are go ing to be better and better.
To new students : Welcome .
You're going to find Evergreen
an exciting place to be . Frustrating at times, but ultimately a tremendously satisfying experience .
Set goa ls for yourself and make
sure they aren't ovetly narrow .
Then enjoy everything you ca n
while you're here .

"WE ALL ARE EVERGREEN"
'.
f
/'
by Cheryl Pegues
Gig Commission Coord ina tor
S<, here we are - back to
scho<, 1 again for yet another year
ot academic bliss. To all new stu dents. welcome to Evergreen,
where, depending on your stamina and stre ngth of mind, a ll
vour educatiunal dreams may
come true.
Orientation Week is our effort
to faci litate at least partial realization of those dreams. By letting
you know where you are, and
w here we are, we can all survive
and grow here together. We
hope to help you enjoy Evergreen and to accomplish your
personal academic goals.
The sudden educational and
socia l freedom, the culture shock
a nd homesickness some of you
may expe rience, coupled with
the cha nges in faculty and staff,
the reorganization of facilities
and chan ges in registration pr~
ced ure we are experiencing, can
combine to produce a great deal
of friction - especially as we are
a ll reaching our toes into the
cold uncertainties ,of a new year.
. ientation Week serves as a
pleasant buffer against that friction by providing us with common ground to share.
With emphasis on outreach
this year, organizers of Orientation and their staff have hopefully created an environment
where a new student can feel relaxed and supported while pre paring for his or her new academic and social life at Evergreen, and returning students can
renew old acquaintances with
friends and members of the Evergreen commun ity. Registration ,
academic advising, program
choice, meeting people, making
new friends, and learning to
cope with others from different
social and economic backgrounds
- each is covered by some aspect of Orientation.
Several new items in Orientation Week this year include the
big all campus meeting "Everybody All Together," Monday
morning, designed to inspire a
feeling of unity and to let you
know you are Evergreen, as we
all are Evergreen, and can only
exist here with the mutual cooperation of students, staff, and
faculty. During this meeting
President McCann will be introduced, a brief explanation of
registration by Registrar Walker
Allen presented, and the highlight of the meeting, a dramatic
presentation by Joye Peskin, a
facu lty member in the Chautauqua program, ent itled "I Am Evergreen." The presentation will
depict some of the paper-pushing,
passing-the-buck, and administrative-type hassles students experience at Evergreen and show
ways to get around them.
The traditional tables set up
by the S&A funded student
groups to involve others in their
activ ities, have been expanded
on, a nd this year each student
group or a representative will
Student Survival
give a brief explanation of their
group's goals and functions as
well as manning the tables for
sign-ups. The Registrar's Office
will be open longer hours to
allow working community members to register in the evenings,
And volunteers sporting green
arm bands will be availdble to
aid in registration, finding a
bathroom, or just being someone
students can talk to, those first
few, sometimes lonely, days.
Still. after all these valiant efforts by us, you are still the
most important person. Please
help us help you, It's very im portant that you attend the Orientation functions or they are of
no va lue. Reach out a little to
us, too.
I personally hope you find Evergreen to be whatever you had
in mind - and if not, to make it
that way. Good luck.

Close your catalog supplement
and open your Cooper Point
Journal. The information you'll
find here is 2,300 times more important than what you'll divine
out of there . That information is
true enough, but ours is from the
best teacher.
For instance, it is a fact that
the faculty member you end up
working with is far more important than all the program descriptions, booklists, and curriculums
combined. It is the faculty in any
given program who determine its
structure, - readings, and substance. It is your faculty sem inar
leader who conducts your seminar, which is the closest thing to
a class you'll ever find here (excepting modular studies, of
course) . It is your faculty member who confers with you individua lly, guides you , works with
you. and who finally writes your
evalua tion. Thus, you can be in
a program which has little in
common with your interests, or
be in a program which is a total
flop for all involved, yet still
have a fantastic educational experience if you got the faculty
member who was right for you.
Evergreen is above all designed
to provide an education tailored
to the individual. That is the
major difference between this
school and most others. The
only difference between first and
fourth year students are the persons themselves. That means
you' ll have to take much more
respo nsibi lity for your own educat ion than you would at another schooL and it means you
should know everyth in g you
need to about the ins and outs of
this system to enable you to do
that.
There are several ways to approach the decisions you must
make before enrolling in a course
of academ ic st udy at Evergreen.
You can choose a faculty member and then enroll in whatever
he or she is doing that quarter.

faculty: "Find a top notch faculty member and learn whatever
it is they are teaching.") You can
find a program or group contract
through reading and advice and
enroll in that. Or you can decide
that you' re ready for an intern ship or an individual contract
a nd start looking for the job
a nd I or a sponsor. Here are some
suggest ions that might make the
whole enrollme nt process much
easier.
The first thing most people
need , whether they do it for
themselves or approach someone
else, is advice. Anyone who has
read the catalog supplement is
familiar with the vague and ambiguous language used in almost
every program description. There
is good reason for the vagueness:
Most of these descriptions were
written last winter before most
progra m faculty had even met
each other, let alone spent much
time thinking about the structure
and substance of a program to
be taught nine or ten months
quirements at Evergreen, prob·
ably the one common thin);
everyone learns here is that persistence pays off and never take
no for an answer. And that is
one of the most valuable thing~
anyone can learn anywhere. It is
easy to be intim idated by people
who seem important because
they posses a skullful of "know 1ledge" or a file-ful of degrees
and titles. But they are all here
to serve you, as is the school
itself . Evergreen is funded mostly
by the tax money of you and
your parents, a nd you pay for
everything you get here. You are
a consumer buying a product ,
and as such there is no reason
why you should not be able to
shop around, ask questions, and
make sure you're goi ng to be sa tisfied before you've spent your
money and received possibly the
short end of the bargain.
After talking to people about
their respective programs, it is
quite possible you will find
nothing that is exactly what you
wanted. Should you return your
green card and go back home to
Issaquah 7 Not necessarily. Every- •
one is a lways touting Evergreen's
"fl exibility," and here is your
cha nce to put it into practice .
Ju,l because the faculty have
written some sort of syllabus for
a program does not mean it is
the final word. One lonely student speaking up can effect wondrous changes. If you want to do
something that varies from the
program plan, discuss it with
your seminar leader or program
coordinator. Dep"ll~ ! :1g on the
program faculty, you may '\"(
able to do a completely independent, project that has little to
do with program activities, or
you may have to read every
book, attend every meeting, and
carry it a ll out to the letter. If
you've got an idea, ask about it.
If you've got a point, don't hesitate to press it.
Another way to get what you
want out of Evergreen is to do it
by Will Humphreys
Academic Dean
Curriculum and academic direction were "Big Issues" at Evergreen last year. In all probability they'll continue to occupy .ne
attention of the community in
1976-77 as well. Out of· last
year's ferment, however, a number of firm directions have
emerged and students will find it
a great deal easier to plan their
year-to-year selection of programs as a result.
Two major Disappearing Task
Forces - the Short-Range and
Long-Range Curriculum DTF's
- tackled the knotty problems
of defining what the college
stands for academically and
what kinds of offerings Evergreen
shou ld have on a continuing
basis. The Short-Range DTF laid
out this year's curriculum in considerable detail and, with only a
few exceptions, the programs offered this fall are the ones the
Short-Range DTF laid out last
winter quarter. A couple of programs had to be postponed or
scaled down because we couldn't
hire new faculty to staff them . A
few were added or dropped because of student interest - or
lack of it. The important thing
to note is that more than 90 per
cent of what the DTF planned is
being offered this year. This, in
spite of our wide ly publiCized
"enrollment problem," My point
is that the curriculum of the college is in very good shape and
students will have available this
year an excellent r~nge of offerings.
The Short-Range DTF also
concerned itself with the outline
of what is to be offered in 197778 . A majority of programs for
next year are already identified
as to area and subject matter and
the planning task this fall will be
to work -out .the details and fill in
the gaps. Essentially, we have
moved into a two -year planning
cycle. The implications of this
for students is that it is now possible to anticipate what will be
offered a year ahead of time,
and this is a welcome change
from the year-to-year uncertainties of the past. It does mean,
however, that students and faculty will not be free to re-work
the whole curriculum every year
as has been possible in the past.
Returning students will find
that the curricu lum for this year
is very responsive to the interests
and desires they expressed last
year. The planning process was
far less responsive than it should
have been, however, to the
needs of new students. Information on what was going to be offered did not reach prospective
new students until very late in
the year. By that time, a great
many had given up on ever
hearing from Evergreen and had
chosen to go elsewhere. One of
the highest priorities set by the
new Academic Deans for this
year is to avoid a repeat of that
mistake. Curriculum for 1977-78
is going to be planned with a
much tighter schedule and organiation, and faculty will be expected to assume a more aggressive role in getting the planning
done. Endless discussions of educational philosophy - which,
by definition, must go on at all
times here - will not be permitted to interfere with the necessity to make decisions and get
on with the process of teaching
and learning . Students, staff or
faculty who find that prospect
stifling should take heart from
the news that the Deans have
scheduled for spring quarter a
two-day All-Campus Colloquium on Directions and Goals of
the Institution, during which we
will all be involved in attempting '
to assess what the college is doing and where it is going.
The curriculum planning process this year should be aided
greatly by the work done last
spring by the students, faculty
and staff who participated in the
Long-Range Curriculum DTF.
The full report of the DTF is not
yet complete, bu t one segment
has already been accepted by the
Academ ic Deans and the process
of implementation has begun .
What this segment calls for is the
establishment of a definite set of
interdisciplinary specialty areas
in which students should regularly expect to find advanced
work available at Evergreen .
Nine general areas are involved:
Environmental Studies, Expressive Arts, Life and Health, Management and the Public Interest,
Marine Sciences and Crafts,
Northwest Native American Cultural Studies, Political Economy,
American and European Studies,
and Human Development.
Additional areas covered by the
DTF's plan include Basic Programs, and Experimental Specialties. The latter are areas to be
tried for a year or two as candidates for ultimate addition to
the list of nine specialties above.
Beginning this fall, faculty will
be working in planning groups
under these headings to develop
the details of 1977-78 programs
and programs for later years.
Students and staff will be welCOille to join these planning
groups and announcements· of
meetings will be made regularly.
There are other important new
developments regarding curriculum, not related to the Short and Long-Range DTF actions.
Late ' afternoon and evening
modular course offerings have
been substantially expanded as
part of the college's long-term
effort to improve service to the
Southwest Washin~ton area, as
well as to provide full-time oncampus students opportunities
not readily available in Coordinated Studies, Group Contracts
and Individual Contracts. In addition, there has been - and
will continue to be - expansion
of the college's outreach offer ings for students who cannot
come to the campus. Finally, it
should be mentioned that plans
are going forward to seek Legislative authorization to offer
graduate work leadint, to the
M.A. degree beginning ir 1977.
Two things about Evergreen
have not changed in the course
of Idst year's discussion and re organization: Evergreen remains
commi tted to providing exciting,
liberal-arts based, interdisciplinary programs. And the chief
vehicle for this is - and will be
- Coordinated Studies. We'll be
doing more such programs next
year than this year. And as we
learn from our experience they
are go ing to be better and better.
To new students : Welcome .
You're going to find Evergreen
an exciting place to be . Frustrating at times, but ultimately a tremendously satisfying experience .
Set goa ls for yourself and make
sure they aren't ovetly narrow .
Then enjoy everything you ca n

Amidst a peaceful setting of
natural and landscaped vegetation, a few miles from the town
of Olympia, The Evergreen State
College sits. Just driving through
the campus area, one wou ld not
suspect that danger sometimes
lurks.
. Visitors to the area soon realize the lack of a security guard
at the entrances and that the layout of the college's buildings is
not prohibitive to s neaking
around without being caught.
Caught at what? - on this campus, during the month of February there were a total of 325 reports fi led in the Security office
including 3 cases of grand larcen y, 23 cases of petty larceny, 2
cases of burg lary,S cases of vandalism, 6 reports of suspicious
persons seen on campus (persons
not recognizable as staff, students , or faculty, and usually
seen at odd hours) , 6 cases of
disorderly conduct, 77 cases of
lost I found property, 24 violations of the pet policy (mostly
by students living off campus),
and 5 building a larms (some malfunctions but a lso some attemp ts
to enter without permission or
keys).
In add ition. the Security office
handled 21 reql.csts for persona l ass istance unlocks,
jum ps for dead batteries, etc.,
a long with other miscellaneou s
duties. They also monitor the
local police radio bands and
work closely with police departments to be aware of what's happening in nearby communities.
All of this act ivity keeps the
Security force quite busy; they
handle these cases in different
way s . Attempts are made to
keep suspicious vehicles off cam pus, and reports of suspicious
persons are followed up by the
Secur it y staff, who make contact
when possible to determine why
the perso n is on campus and to
request identif icat ion. A case report is fil ed on ea ch in cident and
somet imes , the same person or
group of people wi ll return to
campus more than once (raiding
the p a rkin g lot s for gasoline
and / or brea k ing and entering
veh icl es, etc.) and students wi ll
report seeing suspicious vehicles
or people - a pattern may develop which enables the Security
staff to apprehend the culprit(s).
It is unfortunately very rare
that a person(s) will be caught in
the act, it is just not possible to
watch every building and parking lo t all the time. Also, the
proximity of the parking lots to
the buildings and the trees between the two make it difficu lt
to effectively keep people from
vandalizing parked cars and I or
siphoning gasol in e.
The Security staff patrols the
lots and grounds regularly and
the students who work evenings
and weekends (work-study positions) also patrol both on foot
and in a vehicle. Because of
these students who work parttime for Security, Mack Smith
says the effectiveness of the Security office is greatly enhanced.
He feels these st udents are able
to communicate with a larger
sector of the TESC community
and have a good understanding
of the people who attend, and
how to deal with problems that
come up. Smith says they have
done a cons istently excellent job
in the past and have been a valuable asset. (S tudents interested in
working for Security can contact
the Financial Aid office during
Job Placement Week which begins September 16 - LIB 1st
floor. )
All of this is to say - Evergreen is a sitting geoduck. Security does the best job under the
circumstances, but it is vital that
members of the Evergreen Community make the effort to cooperate with Security and a lso take
some initiative to insure that instances described above are kept
at a minimum .
Here are some suggestions :
1. If at a ll possible, don't leave
your car in a lot overnight
unless you live on campus
(F Lot).
2. Lock your car, don't leave
valuab le items inside, get a
lock for your gag cap (especially vans and trucks) .
3. Staff and facu lty should not
leave an off ice unlocked and
unattended at the same time.
If you have to leave, lock
your door (just don't leave
your keys inside).
4 . Students . staff and faculty
TO GE-THER
W~ST
-0 'O.-\1\.Y
~
shouldn't leave purses, backpacks, cameras, briefcases.
etc. lying around unattended
at any time. Keep them out
of sight or on your person .
5. Report immediatdy (8666140) suspicious persons,
noises, or occurrences. Vehicles cru ising the lots wi thout parking, unknown persons walking around, groups
of obviously under-age peo ple roaming around without
supervision (high school or
younger) etc. Let Security
know when these things
happen.
6. WOMEN - don't walk
around alone at night on or
near campus. Rapes and attempted rapes are too common. Security will provide
escort when possible from
and to the campus core area
from the dorms and the
mods. Just give them a call.
7. WOMEN - If you have to
hitchhike - try not to hitchhike wi th men you don't
know. Ca rpooling for gro cery and beer runs for campus residents helps avoid the
need for hitching. Women
w ith cars shou ld be alert to
women hitchhikers and help
each other out.
8. When using the recreational
facilities, don't leave lockers
unlocked when you use
them. Be sure to keep va luab les well concealed if you
can't lock them up or ask
the attendant to watch something. (There w"s a racket
go ing sp ring quarter '76 and
many men lo st their wallets
b~cause of leaving th e ir
lockers un locked.)
The Security office is open 24
hours a day. The phone number
is 866-6140 (if no answer call
866 - 6348 , Fire Stat ion business
phone and they can contact th e
person o n duty). For emergency
assistan ce (ambulance - medics)
the number is 866-3333 .

To find Evergreen on
the first try takes an experienced navigator. As
one student from the
Midwest put it, "All these
stupid trees look alike."
There are several
ways to get to the e&mpus, but it is best if we
stick with just two - a
North approach and a
South approach.
If you 8ft! coming from
the North (Seattle) to
Olympia on 1-5, take exit
11104 - Aberdeen, Port
Angeles - which puts
you on Highway 101. If

Amidst a peaceful setting of
natural and landscaped vegetation, a few miles from the town
of Olympia, The Evergreen State
College sits. Just driving through
the campus area, one wou ld not
suspect that danger sometimes
lurks.
. Visitors to the area soon realize the lack of a security guard
at the entrances and that the layout of the college's buildings is
not prohibitive to s neaking
around without being caught.
Caught at what? - on this campus, during the month of February there were a total of 325 reports fi led in the Security office
including 3 cases of grand larcen y, 23 cases of petty larceny, 2
cases of burg lary,S cases of vandalism, 6 reports of suspicious
persons seen on campus (persons
not recognizable as staff, students , or faculty, and usually
seen at odd hours) , 6 cases of
disorderly conduct, 77 cases of
lost I found property, 24 violations of the pet policy (mostly
by students living off campus),
and 5 building a larms (some malfunctions but a lso some attemp ts
to enter without permission or
keys).
In add ition. the Security office
handled 21 reql.csts for persona l ass istance unlocks,
jum ps for dead batteries, etc.,
a long with other miscellaneou s
duties. They also monitor the
local police radio bands and
work closely with police departments to be aware of what's happening in nearby communities.
All of this act ivity keeps the
Security force quite busy; they
handle these cases in different
way s . Attempts are made to
keep suspicious vehicles off cam pus, and reports of suspicious
persons are followed up by the
Secur it y staff, who make contact
when possible to determine why
the perso n is on campus and to
request identif icat ion. A case report is fil ed on ea ch in cident and
somet imes , the same person or
group of people wi ll return to
campus more than once (raiding
the p a rkin g lot s for gasoline
and / or brea k ing and entering
veh icl es, etc.) and students wi ll
report seeing suspicious vehicles
or people - a pattern may develop which enables the Security
staff to apprehend the culprit(s).
It is unfortunately very rare
that a person(s) will be caught in
the act, it is just not possible to
watch every building and parking lo t all the time. Also, the
proximity of the parking lots to
the buildings and the trees between the two make it difficu lt
to effectively keep people from
vandalizing parked cars and I or
siphoning gasol in e.
The Security staff patrols the
lots and grounds regularly and
the students who work evenings
and weekends (work-study positions) also patrol both on foot
and in a vehicle. Because of
these students who work parttime for Security, Mack Smith
says the effectiveness of the Security office is greatly enhanced.
He feels these st udents are able
to communicate with a larger
sector of the TESC community
and have a good understanding
of the people who attend, and
how to deal with problems that
come up. Smith says they have
done a cons istently excellent job
in the past and have been a valuable asset. (S tudents interested in
working for Security can contact
the Financial Aid office during
Job Placement Week which begins September 16 - LIB 1st
floor. )
All of this is to say - Evergreen is a sitting geoduck. Security does the best job under the
circumstances, but it is vital that
members of the Evergreen Community make the effort to cooperate with Security and a lso take
some initiative to insure that instances described above are kept
at a minimum .
Here are some suggestions :
1. If at a ll possible, don't leave
your car in a lot overnight
unless you live on campus
(F Lot).
2. Lock your car, don't leave
valuab le items inside, get a
lock for your gag cap (especially vans and trucks) .
3. Staff and facu lty should not
leave an off ice unlocked and
unattended at the same time.
If you have to leave, lock
your door (just don't leave
your keys inside).
4 . Students . staff and faculty
TO GE-THER
W~ST
-0 'O.-\1\.Y
~
shouldn't leave purses, backpacks, cameras, briefcases.
etc. lying around unattended
at any time. Keep them out
of sight or on your person .
5. Report immediatdy (8666140) suspicious persons,
noises, or occurrences. Vehicles cru ising the lots wi thout parking, unknown persons walking around, groups
of obviously under-age peo ple roaming around without
supervision (high school or
younger) etc. Let Security
know when these things
happen.
6. WOMEN - don't walk
around alone at night on or
near campus. Rapes and attempted rapes are too common. Security will provide
escort when possible from
and to the campus core area
from the dorms and the
mods. Just give them a call.
7. WOMEN - If you have to
hitchhike - try not to hitchhike wi th men you don't
know. Ca rpooling for gro cery and beer runs for campus residents helps avoid the
need for hitching. Women
w ith cars shou ld be alert to
women hitchhikers and help
each other out.
8. When using the recreational
facilities, don't leave lockers
unlocked when you use
them. Be sure to keep va luab les well concealed if you
can't lock them up or ask
the attendant to watch something. (There w"s a racket
go ing sp ring quarter '76 and
many men lo st their wallets
b~cause of leaving th e ir
lockers un locked.)
The Security office is open 24
hours a day. The phone number
is 866-6140 (if no answer call
866 - 6348 , Fire Stat ion business
phone and they can contact th e
person o n duty). For emergency
assistan ce (ambulance - medics)
the number is 866-3333 .
Mack Sm ith , Ann Brown , Sue
Shaw , Gary Russell, Carl Rens haw . Ron McNeil l, Clayton
Sturgis and Keith Palo and stu dent s unnamed as yet , a re a ll
there to help you. Hopefully ,
with your cooperation , Security
wi ll be ab le to keep up the good
work .

To find Evergreen on
the first try takes an experienced navigator. As
one student from the
Midwest put it, "All these
stupid trees look alike."
There are several
ways to get to the e&mpus, but it is best if we
stick with just two - a
North approach and a
South approach.
If you 8ft! coming from
the North (Seattle) to
Olympia on 1-5, take exit
11104 - Aberdeen, Port
Angeles - which puts
you on Highway 101. If
you are coming from the
South (Portland) to Olympia on 1-5, take exit
1# 104 - Aberdeen, Port
Angeles.
Drive along 101 for
two or three miles until
you see an exit sign,
"The Evergreen State

You're getting there
now. You are on the
lovely college parkway.
To get to your dorm or

a sign "Student Residences." Turn left here.
This puts you on a nice,

The Cooper Point Journ81 is proud to
present the first installment of the
GUIDE TO THE FACUL TY 8s a service
to Evergreen students.
Because of the close contact with
teachers and unusual curriculum design
here. the facu lty member you end up
with is your experience at Evergreen.
As one person put it, "Students are
consumers, and faculty are the prpd ucts. Students have a right to know
what the product is like ."
The quality of teaching here varies,
es anywhere, from complete incompe tence to the best that can be found.
Some tea cha rs are so good that any
subject they teach is worth learning.
Others have been known to consult the
I Ching for final student evaluations.
No evaluation on this page is abso lute . We have tried to represent general student opinion about individual
faculty members, but we recognize that
reactions to teachers differ widely.
Because these profiles are based on in dividual student opinions, there will be
some disagreement.
This guide covers not quite half the
faculty at Evergreen . It is the first installment in a series of faculty profiles
w ritten by students.
Responses to the GUiDE TO THE
FACUL TY are welcome and will be
printed in upcoming issues of The
Co oper Point Journal.
The Cooper Point Journal would like
to thank the following student and
graduate contributors who made this
guide possible:
Ca rla Knoper . Sue Tomlinson. Dana
Holm Howard . William Hucks, Mark
Taylor . Arthur Moore, Sam Solomon,

Susan Aurand is an excsptional
teache r in art and French. She is an
eloquen t speaker. which makes her
book seminars wel l-guided, consistently
interesti ng, and insightful. She has a
limitless amount of patience. and since
she ca n explain things well, students
are very comfortable coming to her
wi th difficult or unusual problems. Her
art critique sessions have a lot of sub stance when she is active in them. She
prefers to let students guide them,
though. and with the wrong group of
stu dents this can be frustrating. She
has an abundance of physical and men tal energy, which causes her to over comm it herself , and at the same time
be indispensable . She is a very sensrtive
French instructor, and is especia lly
good with beginners, because she can
clar ify grammar and voca bulary with
ease and simplicity.
BOB BARNARD (Ph.D. Audio Visual
Comm unicationsl
Working in a film program with Bob
Barnard can be exceedingly frustrating.
H is knowledge seems very limited in
most areas of film , with the possible
exce ption of documentaries. He is
spread so thin Ihe also manages the
S P L U Labl thet he often cannot be
found . He is late for some appoint·
ments and mi818S others altogether.
Bob Barnard seems to show little or no
interest in student-generated projecta
and ideas. Many film-mskers will find
t hese conditions difficult to work
under. You may want to go elsewhere.
Bob Barnard currently controls most of
Ihe 16mm film on campus. If you want
~o do a 16mm film, 800ner or late you
will have to deal with him .

says, in addition to other mystic catchphrases that he keeps on file to throw
out when the going gets tough in seminars (most of the time).
Carlson tends to attract students
whose standards are no different than

RICHARD CELLARIUS I Ph.D. Life Sciencesl
MICHAEL W . BEUG (Ph.D. Chemistryl
SUSA N AU RAND (M.A . Ceramics)
the
Mike Beug lectures mainly in the sci·
enees. He is good - if you are inter ·
ested in the subject. His courses are
usually cha llenging and demanding. He
asks a lot of his students, which can
lead to difficulties for those slow to
"catch on." He often assumes a con descending attitude towards those who
don't show an immediate understanding of the course material.
Beug is well-read and keeps current
in world affairs, which makes him an
interesting seminar leader. He makes
himself readily available for conferences
with students, and is usually easy to
get hold of . He is generally w ilting to
help those who are having difficulty
with the course.
Once Beug gets to know and trust
you, he is easy to get along with and
w ill go out of his way to help you. He
is demanding but fair, and is recom mended to advanced students with an
interest in chemistry.
BILL BROWN I Social Science - educational information not available)
Bill Brown, coo rdinator of The Northwest Coast Program, is one of the least
known faculty members at Evergreen .
His seminar styte is rather lOW-key.
Brown is an attentive listener who evi dently cares about his students,
whether you are talking to him in conference or in casual conversation . He
is knowledgeable, and can always recommend further reading material to
guide you in your research . If you are
interested in geography, urban planning,
regional planning, community development, environmental planning and design, natural science, lOCial science, or
related fieldl, you would be rniaaing
something if you never had a program
or contract with Bill Brown .

enormously hetpful. A friendly fellow
beneath an occasionally gruff exterior.

and perceptive. He knows a lot about

PEGGy DICKINSON IM .A . Education,
Artl Ceramicsl
The best word to describe Peggy
Dickinson is energetic. If you are not
one of her students, she is also very
elusive, as she spends a lot of her time
dodging the people trying to get one
more commitment out of her. The pot
shop in the Lab Annex revolves around
her dynamic personality and runs very
smoothly as a result. She is a gold
mine of information in the areas of ce ramics, art history, and anthropofogy,
in addition to being an extremely proficient potter. Her attitude towards art
is quite open , and her interest in each
student's life goes beyond the usual
role of the teacher. As a result, she
works bast in small group contracts
where she can heve close contact with
each student. She will teach you the
rudiments of "how to do it" and then
stand back to give you room to move,
preferring to let students find their own
direction and technique. Both criticism
and praise from Peggy Dickinson are always constructive, and wort<ing with
someone so vilal eliminetas the pouibility of stagnation.
GEORGE DIMITROFF (Ph.D . Mathematicsl
George Dimitroff strikes most people
as an incredibly honest, straightforward
person . He is competent in teaching
mathematics and has successfully
taught in both group contracts and
modules . Dimitroff is a thorough and
patient teacher, and always seems to
have time for students. He is as com ·
fortable teaching algebra as he is with
more advanced material. Dimitroff has
also programmed 8 number of computer games on the computer system
at Evergreen .
SUSAN FIKSDAL (M .A. French )
Susan Fiksdal is the language coordi nator at Evergreen and teaches Spanish
and French. She is extremely hard working and is competent in everything
she does. As a language instructor, she
works better with advanced students
because she is very demanding and expects perfection from the start. Her
evaluations are honest and fair, and as
a consequence, uncompleted as well as
completed work will be mentioned. She
selects language books carefully and
has very creative teach ing methods.
BOB FILMER IPh.D. Fluid Mechanicsl
Bob Filmer has a high degree of
competence in engineering but often
goes outside his field to be involved in
other disciplines. He is an informative
resource for those with a knowledge of
calcu lus, but does not spend time
teaching basic ski lls. As it is somewhat
difficult to pick up math at Evergreen,
this can be a bit discouraging.
When Filmer goes outside his field he
can be warm and congenial, if at times
confusing . He runs a pleasant seminar.
Avoid his cynical side. It can be contagious.
MARILYN FRASCA (M.A. Artl
Marilyn Frasca is qualified to teach the
visual arts. Students who work with
her in areas other than peinting will
probably not receive a good technical
grounding, but she understands art and
is a competent writer.
Her seminars, lectures, and conferences are conducted intuitively. She
knows what she talks about, even
though this may not be readily apperent to most listeners.
She is an excellent artist and is rec ommended only to those seriously interested in their art, not because they
would benefit most from her, but because her talents are wasted on the uncaring.
Her main weakness is a consistent
impression that she dislikes you. Her
actual likes and dislikes have nothing to
do with this impression.
MARGARET GRIBSKOV (Ph .D. Educationl
Betty Estes (Ph.D. History of Science)
Betty Estes is highly organ ized and
motivated . She Is responsible and quite
\l ood in seminars. She expects her students to be the same. 'She is especially valuable for first and second-year
students who "eed skills In seminaring , critical reading, and resea rch
paper writing. She Is particu larly sui'portive of women in the sciences.
Coordinated stud ies suit Estes'
strengths very well. The only drawback
Is that her lectures are usually weak.
Because she Is committed to alternative education, and Is demanding In a
traditional sort of way , she sets a .good
pace for the students she works with.
Having a faculty member of this sort
early In the game 'Is without a doubt an
asset.
Margaret Gribakov is one of the few
faculty left who continues to take individual contracts in journalism. Many
atudents feel she Is weak In this area.
Education i. her area of true expartiee.
She can be valuable for beginning journalism students beCIUse she is willing
to spend a lot of time with them. But
for advanced studentl 'he is better as a
resourca person for books and .other
people on campus.
In book seminara Gribakov tenda to
pick one thought and stay with it to tha
end of the aaaaion, no maner whet
other peopla Ina talking about. Thle can
be frultratlng . However, ahe haa been
studyfng faculty teaching methods at
Evergreen under I grallt and becau18
of thle may hive chlnged her aemlnar
style for the better.
Faenlty~-------VIRGINIA INGERSOLL (Bual.-, Psychology, Journalism - educatlonel
deta not available)
Students who wish to acquire fundamental management skille (not limited
just to bualn_), and who want to crit ically examine relationships between
busln_ and othar social lnetitutiona,
can benefit from Virginia Ingeraoll. She
is compatent and knowledgeable. She
leads semlnera well, and her interaction
with studenta Is smooth, Intereeting,
end Informative. Soma students feel
she is too serious, but most find her
broad-minded and constructlva.
JEFF KELLY (Ph.D. Biophysical Cherniatry)
Ettc larsen (Ph. D. Anthropology)
Very good teechlr. Knowa hie science and knows how to teach It. Jeff
Kelly Ie I hard wOrl<ar and he aKJIIICII
you to be thl Mme, but he can IIIeo be

Kelly Is eapec:ially good for science students interested In graduatl wort<. He
knoWII a lot about requlrementa, nacommendetionl, and the ganerel how-to of
getting Into a good gred school. But he
is alao good with the beginnar who
wants patience and cheer. An allaround good egg.
Eric Larsen Is basically a teacner of
cultural anthropology. He has spent
t ime studying on remote Islands and
his experiences are relevant to someone studying cultural and social st ructures. His stories are amusing and
fascinating. Seminars are Informal
(sometimes conducted at Larsen's
home) and the books are always interest ing.
Eric Larsen is a good resource for
hard-working students who want to
pretty much study on their own.
ROB KNAPP (Ph.D . Theoretical Phvsiea)
AI Leisenring (Ph.D. Mathematics)
Rob knoWII his subject well and his
lectures are coherent and interesting.
His seminars can be far-ranging yat
seem to remain sensible and fruitfu l. He
does not dominate a seminar, but you
know he is there. He has taught both
basic and advanced lIudents and on
the whole he can work well with either.
AI Leisenring knows his mathematics. He can teach both basic and advanced students with success. His lectu res are well t houg ht out and proceed

MARK LEVENSKY (Ph.D. Philosophy)
The mOil enthusieatic science person

that he is never at a losa for worda. He
hes so much to say that he can't get it
to you fast enough. It is aometlmee
hard to take notas at his lecturee because he makes each fact seem of utmost importance. What continues to
amaze one is, given his encyclopedic
knowiedge of whatever he chooaea to
talk about, how can he put up with the
comparatively moronic studenta lie getS
stuck with?
Andrew Hanfman's classroom comments are helpful and sensible. Ha
guides seminara well. but some students feel he domlnatee discuaaions too
much. Many of his lectu," seem to be
summations of facts avalilble elsewhere, but he oftar. makes unexpected
connactions with aeemingly unrelat:ed
information . On the whole Andrew
Hanfman Ie an intelligent teacher who
is somatlmes too good for his audience.
PHIL HARDING (M.A. Architectunt)

PAUL MARSH (M.A. ABian Studies)
Paul· Marsh has a reputetion with studanta as a faculty member who has
trouble with the coordineted studlee
mode. Moat students diaaatisfied with
him say he tells great stories, but
doeen't teach you anything. Other students have personality conflicts with
him. Those who do not hava thasa
conflicts consider him to be fairty competent in his field. Marsh can be valuable in individual contracta because he
offers students a good deal of thought
and concern, and Is willing to spend
time with them.
Mark Papworth has an abundance of
know ledge in everything from anthropology and sociology to hunting and

He is a dynamic actor and his lectures

David Powell (Ph .D. literature)
David Powell's teaching of literature
and poetry Is something you either
love or you hate. Powell can make stu dents soar to the heights; he can also
ruin students' enjoyment of life. He
doesn't do things halfway . His seminars, lectures, opinions, and jokes are
all very intense . He seems truly excited
by what he is teaching, and It Is Important to share his excitement. If you
aren·t as swept away as he is , seminars can be deadly .
Bul It i~ very easy to find out if
David Powell is your kind of teacher.
Just ask him. He'lI tell you, and you'll

and he work s well with st udents on a

PETE SINCLAIR (Ph.D Llteratura)
Pate Sinellir

probably will be too. Nevertheless he Ie
very dedicated, unaelflah, and reeponalble.
Sinclair'S knowledga of literature,
psychology, and writing, combined
with such dive... intereeta 811 mountain rescua and sailing, add up to a
very well-rounded person. This diveralty
fits well with Evergreen's concept of interdisciplinary aducation. One weakness
is his lectures, which are awful. But in
seminars he is quiet and controlled and
does not dominete. Sinclair's wort< in
dream reflection Ie probably his single
moat powerful learning tool and has
profoundly influenced him and many of
his students in releasing unknown creativity.
NANCY TAYLOR IM .A. Educetion)
Nancy Taylor is e conscientious, in telligent, hard-working and patient
teacher. She guides her seminara well
and writes excellent evaluations. She is
eepecially good with shy students in
her seminara, and goes to great length
to make them feel comfortable.
This is one of her drawbacks. She
doesn't use her authority as a teacher
the way some students think she
should. Some feel she isn't aggressive
enough, and this may ba reflected in
the fact that she rarely lectures. However, her gentle style of teaching is
what many students want, and for
them she is excellent.
KIRK THOMPSON (Ph .D. Political Science)
BOB SLUSS IPh.D. Entomology)
Bob Sluss is a fair peraon, happy to
wort< with anyone. He is willing to be a
friend to studenta and gives a lot of
himself. He is a valuable reeouroa person and can move you in the right direction to a person or book. His specialty is entomologv, and he knows an
incredible amount of obscure facts
about insect behavior. However, he
readily admits it if he doesn't know
aomething.

Take a chance.
Chuck Nisbet is a competent eco·
nomics instructor. He can explain what
is initially incomprehensible with great
economy and without trivializing the
material. He is less successful in areas
other t han economics and business administration . His help with writing occasionally shows an economist's disregard for co ncepts which are not easily
quantifiable. This can make seminars
difficult.
Nisbet Is a very demanding instructor and has little patience for casual
st udents. But for those who meet his
crileria. he is willing to devote much
time and effort. It is best to have a
clear idea of what you want to do to
benefit from Nisbet. He is not good at
giving guidance advice.
TOM RAINEY (Pb.D. History)
Kirt< Thompson is an enigmatic fig·
ure. Depending on who you talk to, he
is portrayed a8 baing everything from
an egotistical aaahole to a sensitive, talented artist . This disparity in image is
further complicated becsuse Kirk
Thompson is a brilliant teacher. Although he has a formal background in
political science, Thompson is probably
best known at Evergreen as • pho .
tography teacher and as a growing resource on the teachings of Carl G.
Jung.
Those who consider wort<ing with
Thompson should be aware thet he
requires a serious no-nonsense commitment to hard wort<. Personality conflicts may arise and make e collaboration difficult. But in large, if carefully
considered, a contract with Kirk
Thompson can be immensely produc·
tive.
PAUL SPARKS (M.A . Art/Photographyl
Paul Sparks is an excellent teacher
for those who want to become stronger
and more confident in their art work.
He is an uncompromising advocate of
defining individual style and purpose in
making art . His knowladge of contemporary art, and West Coast art in perticular, is indisputable. Your only complaint might be that his aggressive and
sometimes cond..cending style makes
his knowledge inacc_ible to many.
Sparks' criticism should not be tsken
personally. His evaluations are not always tactful, and he will justify his
sctions at all costs. The best thing to
keep in mind is that he will not chenge
his mannerisms or attitudes regardl_
of wh~t you say or do. You will waste
your time fighting him, and in the
proceaa lose everything he has to offer.
JACK WEBB (Ph.D. English)
Jack Webb is very demanding and
emphasizes much rsading and writing,
a8 well as experiential l8Irning. He i.
eepeclally knowledgeable in learning lit erature' speech, and leaming diaabil·
itiee. Webb worka best with students
who have a great deal of self-initiative
and ere fairly advanced in their studies.
AINARA WILDER (M .A . Thellre Ana)
LYNN STRUVE (M.A . Chinase Area

Lynn Struve is a little-known and
hard-wort<ing Evergreen faculty member. She is an Asia ICholar, and firat
came to Evergreen in 1974 al a member of the III-fated Chlnase Clvillzetion

The Cooper Point Journ81 is proud to
present the first installment of the
GUIDE TO THE FACUL TY 8s a service
to Evergreen students.
Because of the close contact with
teachers and unusual curriculum design
here. the facu lty member you end up
with is your experience at Evergreen.
As one person put it, "Students are
consumers, and faculty are the prpd ucts. Students have a right to know
what the product is like ."
The quality of teaching here varies,
es anywhere, from complete incompe tence to the best that can be found.
Some tea cha rs are so good that any
subject they teach is worth learning.
Others have been known to consult the
I Ching for final student evaluations.
No evaluation on this page is abso lute . We have tried to represent general student opinion about individual
faculty members, but we recognize that
reactions to teachers differ widely.
Because these profiles are based on in dividual student opinions, there will be
some disagreement.
This guide covers not quite half the
faculty at Evergreen . It is the first installment in a series of faculty profiles
w ritten by students.
Responses to the GUiDE TO THE

printed in upcoming issues of The
Co oper Point Journal.

Susan Aurand is an excsptional
teache r in art and French. She is an
eloquen t speaker. which makes her
book seminars wel l-guided, consistently
interesti ng, and insightful. She has a
limitless amount of patience. and since
she ca n explain things well, students
are very comfortable coming to her
wi th difficult or unusual problems. Her
art critique sessions have a lot of sub stance when she is active in them. She
prefers to let students guide them,
though. and with the wrong group of
stu dents this can be frustrating. She
has an abundance of physical and men tal energy, which causes her to over comm it herself , and at the same time
be indispensable . She is a very sensrtive
French instructor, and is especia lly
good with beginners, because she can
clar ify grammar and voca bulary with
ease and simplicity.
BOB BARNARD (Ph.D. Audio Visual
Comm unicationsl
Working in a film program with Bob
Barnard can be exceedingly frustrating.
H is knowledge seems very limited in
most areas of film , with the possible
exce ption of documentaries. He is
spread so thin Ihe also manages the
S P L U Labl thet he often cannot be

Bob Barnard seems to show little or no
interest in student-generated projecta
and ideas. Many film-mskers will find
t hese conditions difficult to work
under. You may want to go elsewhere.
Bob Barnard currently controls most of
Ihe 16mm film on campus. If you want

will have to deal with him .

says, in addition to other mystic catchphrases that he keeps on file to throw
out when the going gets tough in seminars (most of the time).

MICHAEL W . BEUG (Ph.D. Chemistryl
SUSA N AU RAND (M.A . Ceramics)
the
Mike Beug lectures mainly in the sci·
enees. He is good - if you are inter ·
ested in the subject. His courses are
usually cha llenging and demanding. He
asks a lot of his students, which can
lead to difficulties for those slow to
"catch on." He often assumes a con descending attitude towards those who
don't show an immediate understanding of the course material.
Beug is well-read and keeps current
in world affairs, which makes him an
interesting seminar leader. He makes
himself readily available for conferences
with students, and is usually easy to
get hold of . He is generally w ilting to
help those who are having difficulty
with the course.
Once Beug gets to know and trust
you, he is easy to get along with and
w ill go out of his way to help you. He
is demanding but fair, and is recom mended to advanced students with an
interest in chemistry.
BILL BROWN I Social Science - educational information not available)
Bill Brown, coo rdinator of The Northwest Coast Program, is one of the least
known faculty members at Evergreen .
His seminar styte is rather lOW-key.
Brown is an attentive listener who evi dently cares about his students,
whether you are talking to him in conference or in casual conversation . He
is knowledgeable, and can always recommend further reading material to
guide you in your research . If you are
interested in geography, urban planning,
regional planning, community development, environmental planning and design, natural science, lOCial science, or
related fieldl, you would be rniaaing
something if you never had a program

PEGGy DICKINSON IM .A . Education,
Artl Ceramicsl
The best word to describe Peggy
Dickinson is energetic. If you are not
one of her students, she is also very
elusive, as she spends a lot of her time
dodging the people trying to get one
more commitment out of her. The pot
shop in the Lab Annex revolves around
her dynamic personality and runs very
smoothly as a result. She is a gold
mine of information in the areas of ce ramics, art history, and anthropofogy,
in addition to being an extremely proficient potter. Her attitude towards art
is quite open , and her interest in each
student's life goes beyond the usual
role of the teacher. As a result, she
works bast in small group contracts
where she can heve close contact with
each student. She will teach you the
rudiments of "how to do it" and then
stand back to give you room to move,
preferring to let students find their own
direction and technique. Both criticism
and praise from Peggy Dickinson are always constructive, and wort<ing with
someone so vilal eliminetas the pouibility of stagnation.
GEORGE DIMITROFF (Ph.D . Mathematicsl
George Dimitroff strikes most people
as an incredibly honest, straightforward
person . He is competent in teaching
mathematics and has successfully
taught in both group contracts and
modules . Dimitroff is a thorough and
patient teacher, and always seems to
have time for students. He is as com ·
fortable teaching algebra as he is with
more advanced material. Dimitroff has
also programmed 8 number of computer games on the computer system
at Evergreen .
SUSAN FIKSDAL (M .A. French )
Susan Fiksdal is the language coordi nator at Evergreen and teaches Spanish
and French. She is extremely hard working and is competent in everything
she does. As a language instructor, she
works better with advanced students
because she is very demanding and expects perfection from the start. Her
evaluations are honest and fair, and as
a consequence, uncompleted as well as
completed work will be mentioned. She
selects language books carefully and
has very creative teach ing methods.
BOB FILMER IPh.D. Fluid Mechanicsl
Bob Filmer has a high degree of
competence in engineering but often
goes outside his field to be involved in
other disciplines. He is an informative
resource for those with a knowledge of
calcu lus, but does not spend time
teaching basic ski lls. As it is somewhat
difficult to pick up math at Evergreen,
this can be a bit discouraging.
When Filmer goes outside his field he
can be warm and congenial, if at times
confusing . He runs a pleasant seminar.
Avoid his cynical side. It can be contagious.
MARILYN FRASCA (M.A. Artl
Marilyn Frasca is qualified to teach the
visual arts. Students who work with
her in areas other than peinting will
probably not receive a good technical
grounding, but she understands art and
is a competent writer.
Her seminars, lectures, and conferences are conducted intuitively. She
knows what she talks about, even
though this may not be readily apperent to most listeners.
She is an excellent artist and is rec ommended only to those seriously interested in their art, not because they
would benefit most from her, but because her talents are wasted on the uncaring.
Her main weakness is a consistent
impression that she dislikes you. Her
actual likes and dislikes have nothing to
do with this impression.
MARGARET GRIBSKOV (Ph .D. Educationl
Betty Estes (Ph.D. History of Science)
Betty Estes is highly organ ized and
motivated . She Is responsible and quite
\l ood in seminars. She expects her students to be the same. 'She is especially valuable for first and second-year
students who "eed skills In seminaring , critical reading, and resea rch
paper writing. She Is particu larly sui'portive of women in the sciences.
Coordinated stud ies suit Estes'
strengths very well. The only drawback
Is that her lectures are usually weak.
Because she Is committed to alternative education, and Is demanding In a
traditional sort of way , she sets a .good
pace for the students she works with.
Having a faculty member of this sort
early In the game 'Is without a doubt an

Students who wish to acquire fundamental management skille (not limited
just to bualn_), and who want to crit ically examine relationships between
busln_ and othar social lnetitutiona,
can benefit from Virginia Ingeraoll. She
is compatent and knowledgeable. She
leads semlnera well, and her interaction
with studenta Is smooth, Intereeting,

she is too serious, but most find her
broad-minded and constructlva.

getting Into a good gred school. But he
is alao good with the beginnar who

Eric Larsen Is basically a teacner of
cultural anthropology. He has spent
t ime studying on remote Islands and
his experiences are relevant to someone studying cultural and social st ructures. His stories are amusing and
fascinating. Seminars are Informal
(sometimes conducted at Larsen's
home) and the books are always interest ing.
Eric Larsen is a good resource for
hard-working students who want to
pretty much study on their own.
ROB KNAPP (Ph.D . Theoretical Phvsiea)
AI Leisenring (Ph.D. Mathematics)
Rob knoWII his subject well and his
lectures are coherent and interesting.
His seminars can be far-ranging yat

does not dominate a seminar, but you

the whole he can work well with either.
AI Leisenring knows his mathematics. He can teach both basic and advanced students with success. His lectu res are well t houg ht out and proceed

Chuck Nisbet (Ph.D. Econom ics)

MARK LEVENSKY (Ph.D. Philosophy)
The mOil enthusieatic science person
around - the captain of the Lab Build·

rush, Kuner can give a great impression of total confusion. Not recom·
mended for students who like logicallyconstructed lecturee or a senae of or·

Mark Levensky il an excallent teacher. His seminara are difficult Ind exciting, and his lectures ant even batter.
PhiiosophV Ie his area of expertise, but
his critical thinking in other aubjecta is
alao very good. His student evaluations
are quite formal by Evergreen stlndardl, and seem to many studants
overty harsh. But his lecturee and seminara are among the best et Evergreen,
and his students learn a lot.
ANDREW HANFMAN (Ph.D. Modern

Andrew Hanfman knoWII his aubjecta

that he is never at a losa for worda. He
hes so much to say that he can't get it
to you fast enough. It is aometlmee
hard to take notas at his lecturee because he makes each fact seem of utmost importance. What continues to
amaze one is, given his encyclopedic
knowiedge of whatever he chooaea to
talk about, how can he put up with the
comparatively moronic studenta lie getS
stuck with?
Andrew Hanfman's classroom comments are helpful and sensible. Ha
guides seminara well. but some students feel he domlnatee discuaaions too
much. Many of his lectu," seem to be
summations of facts avalilble elsewhere, but he oftar. makes unexpected
connactions with aeemingly unrelat:ed
information . On the whole Andrew
Hanfman Ie an intelligent teacher who
is somatlmes too good for his audience.
PHIL HARDING (M.A. Architectunt)
Phil Harding Ie a good taacher for
those who wleh to obtain background
and akilll in dellgn and architecture.
Seeing himself basically
a critic, he

PAUL MARSH (M.A. ABian Studies)
Paul· Marsh has a reputetion with studanta as a faculty member who has
trouble with the coordineted studlee
mode. Moat students diaaatisfied with
him say he tells great stories, but
doeen't teach you anything. Other students have personality conflicts with
him. Those who do not hava thasa
conflicts consider him to be fairty competent in his field. Marsh can be valuable in individual contracta because he
offers students a good deal of thought
and concern, and Is willing to spend
time with them.
Mark Papworth has an abundance of
know ledge in everything from anthropology and sociology to hunting and
beer-drinking while fishing for salmon.
He is a dynamic actor and his lectures
are not to be missed. Outside of c lass
Papworth is genuinely Interested in his
student I friends' endeavors. He has a
tremendous amount of energy. which
somet imes makes him seem nervous

David Powell (Ph .D. literature)
David Powell's teaching of literature
and poetry Is something you either
love or you hate. Powell can make stu dents soar to the heights; he can also
ruin students' enjoyment of life. He
doesn't do things halfway . His seminars, lectures, opinions, and jokes are
all very intense . He seems truly excited
by what he is teaching, and It Is Important to share his excitement. If you
aren·t as swept away as he is , seminars can be deadly .
Bul It i~ very easy to find out if
David Powell is your kind of teacher.
Just ask him. He'lI tell you, and you'll
know. He Is an excellent. critical
teacher for poets . His evaluations are
carefu ll y considered and well-written.
and he work s well with st udents on a
one-to-one basis.
FRED TABBUTT (Ph.D. PhVlical Science)
Fred Tabbutt is poaIbly the beet lCience teacher at Evergreen. He ito extrafor everordinarily hard'wottdng, _

- half the
brilliant,
muttering-tohimself researcher, and half the kindly
chemiatry prof, slowly explaining and

to the dullest of students. Highly rec·
ommended.
PETE SINCLAIR (Ph.D Llteratura)
Pate Sinellir
Is Im8rt, witty, aercaa-
tic, and aometlmee obecunt. Firat 1mpreaaionl of him Int often bed Ind usually wrong. He II definitely not a
ftaahy guy, so his talents are batter IPpreciated over a longer period. Hie particular taachlng styIa requl_ thet he
be chellenged by hie studenta to be
truly effectlva, so If you are boring, he
probably will be too. Nevertheless he Ie
very dedicated, unaelflah, and reeponalble.
Sinclair'S knowledga of literature,
psychology, and writing, combined
with such dive... intereeta 811 mountain rescua and sailing, add up to a
very well-rounded person. This diveralty
fits well with Evergreen's concept of interdisciplinary aducation. One weakness
is his lectures, which are awful. But in
seminars he is quiet and controlled and
does not dominete. Sinclair's wort< in
dream reflection Ie probably his single
moat powerful learning tool and has
profoundly influenced him and many of
his students in releasing unknown creativity.
NANCY TAYLOR IM .A. Educetion)
Nancy Taylor is e conscientious, in telligent, hard-working and patient
teacher. She guides her seminara well
and writes excellent evaluations. She is
eepecially good with shy students in
her seminara, and goes to great length
to make them feel comfortable.
This is one of her drawbacks. She
doesn't use her authority as a teacher
the way some students think she
should. Some feel she isn't aggressive
enough, and this may ba reflected in
the fact that she rarely lectures. However, her gentle style of teaching is
what many students want, and for
them she is excellent.
KIRK THOMPSON (Ph .D. Political Science)
BOB SLUSS IPh.D. Entomology)
Bob Sluss is a fair peraon, happy to
wort< with anyone. He is willing to be a
friend to studenta and gives a lot of
himself. He is a valuable reeouroa person and can move you in the right direction to a person or book. His specialty is entomologv, and he knows an
incredible amount of obscure facts
about insect behavior. However, he
readily admits it if he doesn't know
aomething.

DON HUMPHREY (Ph.D . Microbiology)
A real nice guy. A really real nice guy

something of a washout, but for those
who prefer smllln' doggies, Humphrey
is the ona. A good organlzar. Greet
with freshman. Eaaily frightened. He
can be 10 anxious to plaaae thet It Is
hard to get a straight answer out of
him . However, a lot of people love him .
Take a chance.
Chuck Nisbet is a competent eco·
nomics instructor. He can explain what
is initially incomprehensible with great
economy and without trivializing the
material. He is less successful in areas
other t han economics and business administration . His help with writing occasionally shows an economist's disregard for co ncepts which are not easily
quantifiable. This can make seminars
difficult.
Nisbet Is a very demanding instructor and has little patience for casual
st udents. But for those who meet his
crileria. he is willing to devote much
time and effort. It is best to have a
clear idea of what you want to do to
benefit from Nisbet. He is not good at
giving guidance advice.
TOM RAINEY (Pb.D. History)
Kirt< Thompson is an enigmatic fig·
ure. Depending on who you talk to, he
is portrayed a8 baing everything from
an egotistical aaahole to a sensitive, talented artist . This disparity in image is
further complicated becsuse Kirk
Thompson is a brilliant teacher. Although he has a formal background in
political science, Thompson is probably
best known at Evergreen as • pho .
tography teacher and as a growing resource on the teachings of Carl G.
Jung.
Those who consider wort<ing with
Thompson should be aware thet he
requires a serious no-nonsense commitment to hard wort<. Personality conflicts may arise and make e collaboration difficult. But in large, if carefully
considered, a contract with Kirk
Thompson can be immensely produc·
tive.
PAUL SPARKS (M.A . Art/Photographyl
Paul Sparks is an excellent teacher
for those who want to become stronger
and more confident in their art work.
He is an uncompromising advocate of
defining individual style and purpose in
making art . His knowladge of contemporary art, and West Coast art in perticular, is indisputable. Your only complaint might be that his aggressive and
sometimes cond..cending style makes
his knowledge inacc_ible to many.
Sparks' criticism should not be tsken
personally. His evaluations are not always tactful, and he will justify his
sctions at all costs. The best thing to
keep in mind is that he will not chenge
his mannerisms or attitudes regardl_
of wh~t you say or do. You will waste
your time fighting him, and in the
proceaa lose everything he has to offer.
JACK WEBB (Ph.D. English)
Jack Webb is very demanding and
emphasizes much rsading and writing,
a8 well as experiential l8Irning. He i.
eepeclally knowledgeable in learning lit erature' speech, and leaming diaabil·
itiee. Webb worka best with students
who have a great deal of self-initiative
and ere fairly advanced in their studies.
AINARA WILDER (M .A . Thellre Ana)
LYNN STRUVE (M.A . Chinase Area

Lynn Struve is a little-known and
hard-wort<ing Evergreen faculty member. She is an Asia ICholar, and firat
came to Evergreen in 1974 al a member of the III-fated Chlnase Clvillzetion
program. After the damise of that program, she organized a number of

There are seven different types and lengths of rental and
lease contracts. Generally speaking, the rental contracts.
are for shorter periods, cost more, and can be broken
with less financial burden. Under the rental contract, you
rent one bed in a unit and Housing selects your roommate(s) according to your application information.
Lease contracts are 10% to 37% less costly than
rental agreements and are for longer periods of time. Under
a lease agreement, you lease an entire unit and then
you decide who (if anyone) lives with you in the other
beds. Lease contracts can only be transferred or subleased to someone else; you cannot break a lease
without paying the full rent for the full period you agreed to.

sh ould cons ider very carefully
before deciding to embark on
one.
Most ind ividual co ntract stu dents meet for o ne ho ur per
week with their faculty sponsor.
So me faculty ru n book or work
seminars wit h all their co ntract
students, but mos t don' t. Your
tim e is your own, a nd you are
expec ted to ca rry o ut a fu ll -time
coll ege program independently ,
tak in g w hat you need from your
fac u lt y member. You sho uld not
o nl y know exact ly what you want
to do , but a lso w hat you expect
you r faculty member (sponsor)
to give yo u before you start
ta lkin g to prospective sponsors .
You ca n expec t your sponsor to
make suggestions u n readin gs
and changes in the contract.
When yo u ' ve go t a pre t ty
good idea w hat you want to do
and what you want you r facu lty
member to give you , it is tim e to
start looking for a sponsor.
Start with a couple of faculty
members you know you could
work with , and if they can't help
you they'll probably be able to
suggest somebody who can. The
Academic Adviser might be able
to help here a lso . Don't be discouraged by the fact that the
person you want is going to be
in a program . Program faculty
can and do take contracts if they
want to . Persistence and perseverance payoff.
Finding a contract is largely a
matter of selling yourself to the
prospective faculty member .
Think of it as a job interview
and make as good an impression
as you can. Have well- thoughtout ideas a nd show your 5~ri{}us
ness by , bringing your portfolio
o r sa mples of past work.
If you are not sa tisfied w ith
..
your comract. 'you can cnange H
or scrap it in the same way you
can switch out of a program . A
con tract can be rewritten if you
and your faculty sponsor agree,
You can sw itch out of a contract
a nd into anot her contract o r program with the approval of all
faculty involved. And the only
reason the "departing" faculty
must approve is so you'll get
credit for the tim e you spent
wi th them .
The truest thing yo u'll find in
all the propaganda published by
Evergree n ' s PR department is
what they say about Evergreen
not being a p lace for everybody ,
It is not. Evergreen is a place to
find the education you want. If
you want to do some looking,
you can find a better experience
than would be possi ble elsewhere . You just have to know
how to look, and then start
moving. Hopefully after reading
this you know something more
about how. In faculty member
Richard Alexander's immortal
words about founding father
Merv Cadwallader and Evergreen, "I did not mean to build a
maze; I planned a palace, shaped
to the matrix of the human
mind. " That is what Evergreen
can be.
Fo r a ny co llege student the
ma tte r of finances is a major
co nce rn . Both tuition a nd living
costs a re so high th at many stu dents end up choosing between
the two. Alth o ugh aids such as

According to the Constitution,
everyone is entitled to " Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." In order to pursue these
things, one must a lso have food,
shelter, and clothing. Well, thi s
particular feature is about shelter.
O ly mpi a is a nice place to live
beca use of the re lat ively undeveloped area around it. There is
a sma ll downtown area , b ut
most of. the land around it is
farmland and sem i- developed, If
you are traveling to O lympia for
the first tim e, you will find housing can be a hassle. If you are
the type of person who is particula r, you will find it diffi cult. As
a student at The Evergreen State
College there are lots of pointers
I can give you about shelter.

Career Planning Teaches
Vital Ski lis
. Director of Caree, t>lanning and Placement Gail Martin discussed
how to plan and conduct a job search with a group of seniors.
by Molly Wright
The purpose of Career Planning and Placement is to provide
career and employment information and services to Evergreen
students a nd graduates. Our approac h to career development
and job search is educational. encouraging self-assessment , p lanning, and research. Located in
the Enro llmen t Services area, li brary 1214, o ur faci lities include
much that might interest you.
T he Career Resource Center is
a library of occupationa l resources, graduate sc hool catalogs,
gra nt a nd fellows hip information, a nd a co mputer terminal
programmed with occupationa l
informa ti o n . A samp ling of occu pationa lly rela ted books available in the Career Resource Center includes: Go Hire Yourse lf
all Emp loy er , Alternati ves to
Co llege, Careers in Consumer
Protection , the Art Ca reer Guide,
EverytJlil1g a Woman Needs to
Kl10w to Get Paid wha t She is
W o rth , a nd Occupational Out loo k for Co llege Graduates .
T he computer terminal is connected to the Washington Occu pational Information Service,
a nd is programmed with a questionnaire that can help you clar-
ify the nat ure a nd type of work
enviro nments you are most interested in. It a lso provides updated
informat ion on specific occupatio ns, including jo b market forecasts, educational requirements.
and average a nnual wages.
A lso located in the Career Resource Center are Employer Files
and the Job Desc riptio n File. The
Job Description File is compi led
from all the outdated but rele.vant job descripti ons tha t are received for the Senior a nd Graduate Job Information Board .
When the closing date fo r a position has passed, the actual desc ripti on is added to the file acco rding to the occupation area.
The Job Descriptio n File provides
a good reso urce for reviewing
the job market in your a rea, and
for ga th ering information about
sa laries, loca ti ons, a nd employer
expectation s. The file can also
help indicate the ra nge a nd type
of posit ions that are currently
ava il a bl e to co ll ege graduates
holding a Bachelor of Arts Degree.
The purpose of the Employer
Files is to provide sketches of
specific employers in the North west , ranging from the Small
Tribes Organization of Western
Washington, to Weyerhaeuser
and the State Department of
Commerce an d Economic Development. Profiles are constructed
from public information published by the individual inst itutio ns . Before applying for a job
- and especia lly before an employment interview - it can be
very advantageous to research
that agency or employer. Inter viewers often judge a candidate's
interest, sophist ica tion, a nd motivation by how mu ch the person
a lready knows about the potenti al employer and vaca nt position. Both the Employer Fi les
and the Job Description File a re
easi ly accessible in the Ca reer
Resource Center, Li!1rary 1213.
Many ac tivities sponsored by
Career Planning and Placement
take place in group situations.
Ca reer Search Groups are workshops especially appropriate for
persons who are in the process
of making importa nt decisio ns
about th eir own values, qualities,
and life experiences as they relaie
to developing a career pattern.
Workshop discussion s in clude
clarifying the background and
life-styles that point toward a
certain career area and research
to learn more about our career
interests .
Se ni or Employment Seminars
are held qua rt erl y for graduating
se niors and ot her interested folks
w ho want to learn about resumes, interviewing skills, credential files, le tters of appl ication,
and the basics of a good job
sea rch . For Fall Quarter they are
scheduled o n Thursdays, from
3 : 30-5 p.m . , beginning o n
October 21.
Ca reer Planning and P lacement
offers many more se rvices a nd
resources, _ including indi vidual
career and employment cov nseling, Career Film ,Series, Graduate
School Practice Testing, Job a nd
Gradua te Sc h oo l Information
Days , Specia l Works hop s on
Teach er Certification , Women
and Employment, and careers in
Computer Science. I encourage
you to utilize Career Planning
a nd Placement throughout your
Evergreen expe rience.

chance. If you want to get in
so mebody spec ific's seminar. usua lly a ll you have to do is ask.
Ofte n you'lI need a good reason .
The truth w ill usually suffice . If
the a nswer is no , ask again . It is
bad form to stop ask ing and
start demanding, however, until
you've been refused a t least a
couple of times.
Once you' re in the program
a nd se minar you ·want, you may
suddenly fi nd after a week or
two a nd registra tion is over that
it wasn 't w hat you wanted after
all. Yo ur fellow student s a nd
per ha ps eve n fac ulty may tell
yo u that registration ended long
ago an d the deadline for switch ing is past. Actually, it is per fect ly lega l a nd acceptable to
sw itch at any time during the
yea r. All you do is get a "reregistrati ::m " fo rm from your
p rogram secretary or registrar,
ti ll it out, have it signed by you r
"departing" and "arriving" faculty , a nd you're in.
T he hardest part of switching
is finding a program that will a llow you to en ter after it has alread y begun . Here aga in persistence and perseverance pay
off.
Fina lly, no article of this natu re wo uld be complete witho ut
devo tin g some space to those
ever mo re popular , ever harder
to find individua l contracts. For
so me strange reaso n , there seems
to be a lot of ad ministrative bias
against individua l con tracts, no
do ubt s temming from the beliel
that they a re misused . It is true
th a t too many st udents start
sea rching for a contract before
ex h a u st in g a ll p oss ibilities for
do ing wha t they had in mind
th rough a program or group
contract. When administrators
ta lk about how specia l individual
contracts are and how first and
second - year st udents rarely can
fin d o ne, a ll they're try ing to say
in their roundabout way is you
sh ould cons ider very carefully
before deciding to embark on
one.
Most ind ividual co ntract stu dents meet for o ne ho ur per
week with their faculty sponsor.
So me faculty ru n book or work
seminars wit h all their co ntract
students, but mos t don' t. Your
tim e is your own, a nd you are
expec ted to ca rry o ut a fu ll -time
coll ege program independently ,

you r faculty member (sponsor)
to give yo u before you start
ta lkin g to prospective sponsors .
You ca n expec t your sponsor to
make suggestions u n readin gs
and changes in the contract.
When yo u ' ve go t a pre t ty
good idea w hat you want to do
and what you want you r facu lty
member to give you , it is tim e to
start looking for a sponsor.
Start with a couple of faculty
members you know you could

you they'll probably be able to
suggest somebody who can. The
Academic Adviser might be able
to help here a lso . Don't be discouraged by the fact that the
person you want is going to be
in a program . Program faculty
can and do take contracts if they
want to . Persistence and perseverance payoff.
Finding a contract is largely a
matter of selling yourself to the

than would be possi ble elsewhere . You just have to know
how to look, and then start
moving. Hopefully after reading
this you know something more
about how. In faculty member
Richard Alexander's immortal
words about founding father
Merv Cadwallader and Evergreen, "I did not mean to build a
maze; I planned a palace, shaped
to the matrix of the human
mind. " That is what Evergreen
can be.

According to the Constitution,
everyone is entitled to " Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." In order to pursue these
things, one must a lso have food,
shelter, and clothing. Well, thi s
particular feature is about shelter.
O ly mpi a is a nice place to live

a sma ll downtown area , b ut
most of. the land around it is
farmland and sem i- developed, If
you are traveling to O lympia for

Career Planning Teaches
Vital Ski lis
. Director of Caree, t>lanning and Placement Gail Martin discussed
how to plan and conduct a job search with a group of seniors.
by Molly Wright
The purpose of Career Planning and Placement is to provide
career and employment information and services to Evergreen
students a nd graduates. Our approac h to career development
and job search is educational. encouraging self-assessment , p lanning, and research. Located in
the Enro llmen t Services area, li brary 1214, o ur faci lities include
much that might interest you.
T he Career Resource Center is
a library of occupationa l resources, graduate sc hool catalogs,
gra nt a nd fellows hip information, a nd a co mputer terminal
programmed with occupationa l
informa ti o n . A samp ling of occu pationa lly rela ted books available in the Career Resource Center includes: Go Hire Yourse lf
all Emp loy er , Alternati ves to
Co llege, Careers in Consumer
Protection , the Art Ca reer Guide,
EverytJlil1g a Woman Needs to
Kl10w to Get Paid wha t She is
W o rth , a nd Occupational Out loo k for Co llege Graduates .
T he computer terminal is connected to the Washington Occu pational Information Service,
a nd is programmed with a questionnaire that can help you clar-
ify the nat ure a nd type of work
enviro nments you are most interested in. It a lso provides updated
informat ion on specific occupatio ns, including jo b market forecasts, educational requirements.
and average a nnual wages.
A lso located in the Career Resource Center are Employer Files
and the Job Desc riptio n File. The
Job Description File is compi led
from all the outdated but rele.vant job descripti ons tha t are received for the Senior a nd Graduate Job Information Board .
When the closing date fo r a position has passed, the actual desc ripti on is added to the file acco rding to the occupation area.
The Job Descriptio n File provides
a good reso urce for reviewing
the job market in your a rea, and
for ga th ering information about
sa laries, loca ti ons, a nd employer
expectation s. The file can also
help indicate the ra nge a nd type
of posit ions that are currently
ava il a bl e to co ll ege graduates
holding a Bachelor of Arts Degree.
The purpose of the Employer
Files is to provide sketches of
specific employers in the North west , ranging from the Small
Tribes Organization of Western
Washington, to Weyerhaeuser
and the State Department of
Commerce an d Economic Development. Profiles are constructed
from public information published by the individual inst itutio ns . Before applying for a job
- and especia lly before an employment interview - it can be
very advantageous to research
that agency or employer. Inter viewers often judge a candidate's
interest, sophist ica tion, a nd motivation by how mu ch the person
a lready knows about the potenti al employer and vaca nt position. Both the Employer Fi les
and the Job Description File a re
easi ly accessible in the Ca reer
Resource Center, Li!1rary 1213.
Many ac tivities sponsored by
Career Planning and Placement
take place in group situations.
Ca reer Search Groups are workshops especially appropriate for
persons who are in the process
of making importa nt decisio ns
about th eir own values, qualities,
and life experiences as they relaie
to developing a career pattern.
Workshop discussion s in clude
clarifying the background and
life-styles that point toward a
certain career area and research
to learn more about our career
interests .
Se ni or Employment Seminars
are held qua rt erl y for graduating
se niors and ot her interested folks
w ho want to learn about resumes, interviewing skills, credential files, le tters of appl ication,
and the basics of a good job
sea rch . For Fall Quarter they are
scheduled o n Thursdays, from
3 : 30-5 p.m . , beginning o n
October 21.

A Different Lifestyle
Healing with Herbs
Susall Woodward prepared dried herbs for storage in a dark jar.
by Susan Woodward
My int erest in herbs began about tw o
yea rs ago when I bought a book ca lled
Back to Edell , by Jethro Kloss. I didn't
rea ll y know what I was doing and I didn't
rea lize the true power of herbs.
My first contact with learning their
properties was when I decided I should do
a research paper on three herbs - Lobe lia. Comfrey and Mu llein . This paper
too k me far and I found resources and
connec tions that are still with me today. I
was in Bellingham at the time and the
reople I was around already knew much
about the hea ling herbs, so the strength to
It'a rn and use the herbs was there.
I started accu mulatin g herbs in dried
torm and storing them. I also was giving
herbs to people and drinking them myse lf .
I learned the hard way th a t giv in g herbs
to people is a very unhealthy practice.
There are th~ee reasons for this : ]) the
people who are sick have to really want
or need t he herbs . 2) they should come to
me fo !" advice instead of me goi ng to them
and pus hin g the iss ue , and 31 and th,·
ml' st important, is that I must be t here
giving the herbs m yself and m aking the
tea or po ult ice for the specific person and
the a ilm en t they have.
I nnee ga\'e ,ome()n~ some herb s to be
rlld d c up fo r another person and the reactIon Irom the sick person was the opposite
(,t what was suppo sed to happe n. She felt
worse instead o f better.
The be st way to get around that prob lem is to try the herbs on oneself and see
what happens . The first consideration is
to kn o w th e he rbs and their properties so
yo u don ' t overdose o n them .
I also enjoy talking to ot her people that
are intercsted in using herbs. I had the
great fortune to go to the Spring Ga th ering of the Healers last year and thi s year.
Both of tho se experiences were full ot
lesso ns and I go t together wi th o th er pwpie intrigued by the same force .
The firs t ga th ering was a good incentive
to dip into herbs further. I also was opt'n
to o ther forms of h ea ling (i .e . Reflexology,
Massage, Iridiology , Naturopathy, Home opa thy , etc.). These mind-expanding
ideas wt're w hat made me change towards
t he beliefs I had real ly had all my life.
By talkin g with people and going to
lec tures on Herbology a nd lridiology I reformed, and also realized what my direc tio n and goals were . My lo ng term goal is
to become a Naturopathic physician and
practice that form of healin g for my
Income. I'm using herbs and s tar,ling to
lear n the botany aspects (identifyin g ,
picking. drying , storing a nd using) of
"I,ln ts and plant collecting.
I leel my eating habits and my emo tIona l ,tate are just as importan t as drink Ing herb ted; to cure myself . Fasting, mu (tl u,le~,s diet, vegetarianism, organic (no
pestilides) foock and growing o ne 's own
l(locl are al l elements and degrees of living
, "Iferently than the flow of society . Th ese
Jif(erent ideas have been around for cenluries of course, but so few people are in n.,\',) tlO g them again .
I have given some background and
some of my beliefs and philosophies of
livin g, now on to the herbs. The followin g is a list 01 the properties, what to
watch out for (if anything) and hopefully
where to find the herb growing in this
area .
Comfrey - Sympltytum officinalI' . L.
A perennial wi th a brownish-black and
wrink led stout spreading root. The stem is
about three feet high or more and the
plant has large , coarsely hairy egg- or
lance-shaped leaves w ith wavy edges .
The blue-purplish , ye ll ow, white and
red tubular flowers, less than one inch
lon g, are borne in coiled clusters. Th e
f1uwer s have five s tamen~ and the fruit
co nsists of four shiny brown or black nut Irt ~ that come out in August. The plant
flower s in May and June.
Comfrey ~rows by river sides and in
moist places. The road to Lake LouiseK<liser Pond is abunda nt w ith Comfrey .
Th e plants a re fOllr feet high and about
lour feet around.
Properties - sooth ing , relieves inflam mation . Causes contractions of tissue and
a rrests discharges, good for coughs and
cn ngest ion. Source o f Vitamin C and Calcium. Treats mu cous membranes of the
respiratory orga ns and can be used as an
expectorate (causes phlegm to be expelled).
Use t he leaves, roots and flowers.
Externally Comfrey is good as a poultice made from fr esh or dried leaves for
recent wounds , sprains, swellings , bruises
or burns .
Dose - one teaspoonful to one cup of
boiling water, steep for 10 - 20 minutes
(don 't boil herbs , ever). Take three to
four cups a day .
Mullien
Verbascum blattaria , V.
thapsus.
Mullien varies greatly in size and form,
is a biennial and grows by roadsides, in
hot open areas (fields) usually near water,
and in rocky , sandy soi l.
Mullien grows a rosette of leaves its
first year and produces a columnar effect
with yellow flowers at the top of the
spike the second year. The leaves are
hairy or wooly and alternate up the stem.
The yellow flowers bloom in July and
August . A plenitude of Mullien grows in
Eastern Washington (Yakima , Wenatchee) .
In the Olympia area they are smaller.
D0n't get them confused with Foxglove ,
which has totally different flowers but
grows in similar surroundings.
Properties - use the leaves and flowers
for coughs, colds, lung and pulmonary
co mplaints , sore throat, cramp, diarrhea,
relaxing .
Mullien oi l, which is hard to get, is
used externally for earaches and infections .
Dose - one tea spoonful to one cup of
boiling water, steep for 20 minutes.
Red C love r - Trifo lium pratells, L.
A perennial. 18 - 36 inches high . It
grolA" in fields and by roadsides. The
plant ha' I typical clover (3 leaves) shape
to it , but the flowers are purplish-pink,
sweet-scented, tubular corollas crowded
together.
The flowers are one-half to one inch
broad and turn purplish-brown when
they die. If you see purplish-pink spots
near the road, that will most likely be
Red Clover. The white clover that grows
around is not good - the properties are
not the same ~ so don't use it.
hoperties - use the flowers and leaves
for the heart, nerves , bronchial problems
and kidney conditions. For sore throat
make strong tea and gargle four to five
times a day, swa llowing a mouthful after
each gargle.
Dose - one teaspoonful (two to three
flower heads) to one cup of boiling water,
steep for 20 - 30 minutes.
Plantain - Plantago major, L.
Plantain usually grows among the
weeds and has long, narrow, ribbed
leaves that radiate from the base. The
flower stem is stiff and smooth with a triangular-looking flower head. The stem is
6 - 18 inches high. The head is short and
studded with tiny, dull-white flowers that
have long slender stamens.
Properties - use the whole plant both
internall y and externally for a diuretic (increases the secretion and flow of urine).
and for healing fresh or chronic wounds
or sores . It can be used for excessive menstrual flow , inflammation of the intestine,
kidney and bladder trouble, to induce appetite and to help stop bleeding.
Plantain is abundant in this area, and
ironically enough, it grows near houses for home problems like burns and cuts.
Dose - one te'aspoonful to one cup of
boiling water, steep for 10 - 15 minutes .
Red Raspberry - Rubus idaeus, L. .
The stems of this perennial are generally
erect, freely branched, three to four feet
high a nd covered with small, straight
slender prickles. The leaves are pale green
on top, gray-white below, doub ly se rrated
w ith a rounded base, and about three
inches long. The small , white, pendulous
fl owers bloom in Mayor June and the
raspberr ies co me out in June and July.
Properties The leaves should be
p icked after the fruit is goi ng out, and
while they a re st ill green , because s un dried leaves don' t have much medicinal
va lue (t hi s is true for all herbs).
Red Raspberry leaves help fever and
colds because they cause the body to perspire, which opens the pores. This allows
the body to let off steam and will rid it of
fever. The leaves are also good for sore
throats and mucous membrane .
Dose - If fresh, four to six leaves to
two cups o f boiling water, steep for 15
minutes. Take a cup two to three times a
day.
Queen Anne's Lace - Daucus carota,
L. Umb elliferea
Queen Anne's Lace is recognized as a
wi ld carrot and the root smells like garden
carrot. It grows by roadsides and in fields.
T he fleshy root tapers, is yellowish-white
and sweet sme lling and tasting. The plant
can grow from one to five feet in height.
The stem is erect, branching, and has a
bristly feel to it. The leaves are basal or
alterna te (leaflets on two opposite sides of
the leaf} . The flowers are usually white
and arranged in a flat-topped compound
umbels (the flowers all aris ing from one
point, th e you nger in the cen ter) _ There is
a centra l flower , usually dark red or deep
purple, blooming in June or August. The
seeds are a dull brown color, flat on one
side and convex on the other.
Properties - The entire plant can be
used as a stimulant , to break up obstructions and to increase the flow of urine (diuretic). The root and stem s are often
ground and used for kidney and bladder
problems, painful urination , and to in' crease menstrual flow. For externa l
wounds , ulcers and abscesses, use the
grated root made into a poultice.
Dose - One teaspoonful to one pint
boiling water, steep for 30 minutes. Take
three to four cups daily.
Chickwee,d - Stella ria media, Cyrill, L.
Chickweed is a very common plant in
this area and grows everywhere, but particularly in gardens. The stem is weak and
straggly, and branches freely. There is a
line of white hairs along one side only,
changing direction at each pair of leaves.
The very small flowers bloom from spring
to autumn.
Properties - One can use the whole
herb for softening and soothing inflamed
parts. It is also good for chest colds and
for cooling off. When thirsty, drink a tea
made from Chickweed or eat the plant itself , perhaps in a salad. Excellent for liver
ailments, inflammation and weakness of
bowels and stomach. Used externally as a
poultice for sore eyes (apply on cotton
pads over closed eyes); for burns, boils,
swellings and redness of face. It is also a
diuretic (increases the flow of urine) and
so is helpful in losing weight.
Dose - Use one heaping teaspoonful to
a cup of boiling water, steep for 20 - 30
minutes. Take three to four cups a day
between meals, drink one swa llow at a
time.
Yarrow - Achillea millefolium, L.
Yarrow is a perennial and grows in pastures , meadows and a long roadsides .
Don't confuse it with Queen Anne's Lace
or Pearly Everlasting. I've seen it growing
near Scotch Broom. It flowers from May
to October. The plant can grow to a
height of three feet. The stem is rough
and angu lar. The leaves are one to six
inches long, clasp the stem at the base,
and are slight ly woolly (which distinguishes it from Queen Anne's Lace). The
flowers are white clusters with a flat-top
daisy-like appearance . They have a faint ,
pleasant but peculiar fragrance.
Propert ies - The whole plant can be
used for medicinal p urposes although the
flowers are the most valuable . One of the
main uses is for breaking up colds and
fever in a short period (overnight). Drink
Yarrow tea with either honey a nd hot
sa uce or Elder flowers and Peppermint
(Menth piperita) to open pores and perm it
free perspiration. This wi ll cause fever to
b urn off. Yarrow is also good for mucous
membrane and urinary tract problems.
Chew the leav es for toothaches. For respiratory infections, drink the tea cool.
Dose - One teaspoonfu l of Yarrow to
one cup boilin g water, steep for 15 minutes. Take three to fotlr cups daily.
Organic Farm at Crucial
Point in Development
by David Yates
In the five years since a group of students in the Environmental Design program discovered that the Lewis Road
Farm was Evergreen property, and was
available for use by students, this farm
has generated considerable interest
among both students and the community
at large.
This being a rat her crucial period in the
development of the Organic Farm as a
community resource, I feel it is important
to familiarize people with what is going
on here, and to investigate the most desirable course for the farm's future.
Curren t program use of the farm's faciliti es can be divided into three areas. One
is the on-going group contract in volved in
co nstruction of the new farmhouse . This
project was started two years ago by interested students on the recommendat ion
of the Disappearing Task Force (DTF).
The DTF reco mmended th a t a new facility be built to accommodate the growing
needs of the farm'. The building, which is
now under construction, will have a meeting room and kitchen capab le of handling
groups of up to 75 people, and will prov ide a new caretaker's facilty (the current
farmhouse is fighting a losing battle with
termites).

Buying Plants - Pick the Place
by David Judd
When picking herbs, make sure you
truly need them , or at least feel you will
use them through the winter. The next
considerat ion is drying the herbs. I usually
-lay them out or hang them upside-down
from the ceiling with string. The impor tant factor is to avoid putting the herbs in
direct sun light , and around here that is
easy to accomplish. Plants get too hot in
the sunlight and lose quite a bit of their
medicinal value. However, it is not necessary to dry them in the dark.
When picking the plants, take only
what you need (i.e ., if you need only
leaves, don't also take the root). Also, be
kind to the plants and they will heal.
Herbs should be stored in dark bottles
or jars once they have dried, because light
hinders the medicinal qualities. Most
herbs will last· up to a year, and some for
many years, depending on their exposure
to light.

Looking for a house plant to start off
wit h or replace that one that didn 't quite
make it throu gh the shock of moving?
Consid er a good quality house plant that
ca n adjust to you r new surroundings.
Start off with a sma ll plant, they are,
leas t expensive, easier to adapt to the new
environment, and more enjoyable to
watch grow up. By determining your heat
and light co nditions you should be able to
find many unusua l varieties of house
plants to grow in your new domain.
In the Olympia area there are only a
handful of sto res that sell plants. You can
buy directly from a local greenhouse or at
department and grocery stores.
On Olympia's 4th stree t across from
Rainier Bank is a small plant store, "Look-
ing Glass Gardens." This miniature jungle
'is filled with rare exotic house plants and
a good selection of common ones too.
The owners ha ve hand-picked all the
plant s from gree nhouse s around the
Northwest and California. The prices are
a litt le higher , but the quality is well
wort h th e investment.
"O lympia Greenhouse," located on th e
Westside along Division Street , is th e oldest sel ler of house plants and o ther nursery item s in the O lymp ia area. Here you
can buy pla nts directly ou t of a greenhouse. Thi s could be to your best advantage if the plant has been properly grown
to adjust to a home environment. By buy ing directly from a greenhouse yillu get a
plant that ha s been spared the sometimes
hars h treat ment given by store owners.
Like most large department sto re s,
"Peoples" in the South Sound Shopping
Center has opened up a new pl ant department. They offer a w ide selection of lush

A Different Lifestyle
Healing with Herbs
Susall Woodward prepared dried herbs for storage in a dark jar.
by Susan Woodward
My int erest in herbs began about tw o
yea rs ago when I bought a book ca lled
Back to Edell , by Jethro Kloss. I didn't
rea ll y know what I was doing and I didn't
rea lize the true power of herbs.
My first contact with learning their
properties was when I decided I should do
a research paper on three herbs - Lobe lia. Comfrey and Mu llein . This paper
too k me far and I found resources and
connec tions that are still with me today. I
was in Bellingham at the time and the
reople I was around already knew much
about the hea ling herbs, so the strength to
It'a rn and use the herbs was there.
I started accu mulatin g herbs in dried
torm and storing them. I also was giving
herbs to people and drinking them myse lf .
I learned the hard way th a t giv in g herbs
to people is a very unhealthy practice.
There are th~ee reasons for this : ]) the
people who are sick have to really want
or need t he herbs . 2) they should come to
me fo !" advice instead of me goi ng to them
and pus hin g the iss ue , and 31 and th,·
ml' st important, is that I must be t here
giving the herbs m yself and m aking the
tea or po ult ice for the specific person and
the a ilm en t they have.
I nnee ga\'e ,ome()n~ some herb s to be
rlld d c up fo r another person and the reactIon Irom the sick person was the opposite
(,t what was suppo sed to happe n. She felt
worse instead o f better.
The be st way to get around that prob lem is to try the herbs on oneself and see
what happens . The first consideration is
to kn o w th e he rbs and their properties so
yo u don ' t overdose o n them .
I also enjoy talking to ot her people that
are intercsted in using herbs. I had the
great fortune to go to the Spring Ga th ering of the Healers last year and thi s year.
Both of tho se experiences were full ot
lesso ns and I go t together wi th o th er pwpie intrigued by the same force .
The firs t ga th ering was a good incentive
to dip into herbs further. I also was opt'n
to o ther forms of h ea ling (i .e . Reflexology,
Massage, Iridiology , Naturopathy, Home opa thy , etc.). These mind-expanding
ideas wt're w hat made me change towards
t he beliefs I had real ly had all my life.
By talkin g with people and going to
lec tures on Herbology a nd lridiology I reformed, and also realized what my direc tio n and goals were . My lo ng term goal is
to become a Naturopathic physician and
practice that form of healin g for my
Income. I'm using herbs and s tar,ling to
lear n the botany aspects (identifyin g ,
picking. drying , storing a nd using) of
"I,ln ts and plant collecting.
I leel my eating habits and my emo tIona l ,tate are just as importan t as drink Ing herb ted; to cure myself . Fasting, mu (tl u,le~,s diet, vegetarianism, organic (no
pestilides) foock and growing o ne 's own
l(locl are al l elements and degrees of living
, "Iferently than the flow of society . Th ese
Jif(erent ideas have been around for cenluries of course, but so few people are in n.,\',) tlO g them again .
I have given some background and
some of my beliefs and philosophies of
livin g, now on to the herbs. The followin g is a list 01 the properties, what to
watch out for (if anything) and hopefully
where to find the herb growing in this
area .
Comfrey - Sympltytum officinalI' . L.
A perennial wi th a brownish-black and
wrink led stout spreading root. The stem is
about three feet high or more and the
plant has large , coarsely hairy egg- or
lance-shaped leaves w ith wavy edges .
The blue-purplish , ye ll ow, white and
red tubular flowers, less than one inch
lon g, are borne in coiled clusters. Th e
f1uwer s have five s tamen~ and the fruit
co nsists of four shiny brown or black nut Irt ~ that come out in August. The plant
flower s in May and June.
Comfrey ~rows by river sides and in
moist places. The road to Lake LouiseK<liser Pond is abunda nt w ith Comfrey .
Th e plants a re fOllr feet high and about
lour feet around.
Properties - sooth ing , relieves inflam mation . Causes contractions of tissue and
a rrests discharges, good for coughs and
cn ngest ion. Source o f Vitamin C and Calcium. Treats mu cous membranes of the
respiratory orga ns and can be used as an
expectorate (causes phlegm to be expelled).
Use t he leaves, roots and flowers.
Externally Comfrey is good as a poultice made from fr esh or dried leaves for
recent wounds , sprains, swellings , bruises
or burns .
Dose - one teaspoonful to one cup of
boiling water, steep for 10 - 20 minutes
(don 't boil herbs , ever). Take three to
four cups a day .
Mullien
Verbascum blattaria , V.
thapsus.
Mullien varies greatly in size and form,
is a biennial and grows by roadsides, in
hot open areas (fields) usually near water,
and in rocky , sandy soi l.
Mullien grows a rosette of leaves its
first year and produces a columnar effect
with yellow flowers at the top of the
spike the second year. The leaves are
hairy or wooly and alternate up the stem.
The yellow flowers bloom in July and
August . A plenitude of Mullien grows in
Eastern Washington (Yakima , Wenatchee) .
In the Olympia area they are smaller.
D0n't get them confused with Foxglove ,
which has totally different flowers but
grows in similar surroundings.
Properties - use the leaves and flowers
for coughs, colds, lung and pulmonary
co mplaints , sore throat, cramp, diarrhea,
relaxing .
Mullien oi l, which is hard to get, is
used externally for earaches and infections .
Dose - one tea spoonful to one cup of
boiling water, steep for 20 minutes.
Red C love r - Trifo lium pratells, L.
A perennial. 18 - 36 inches high . It
grolA" in fields and by roadsides. The
plant ha' I typical clover (3 leaves) shape
to it , but the flowers are purplish-pink,
sweet-scented, tubular corollas crowded
together.
The flowers are one-half to one inch
broad and turn purplish-brown when
they die. If you see purplish-pink spots
near the road, that will most likely be
Red Clover. The white clover that grows
around is not good - the properties are
not the same ~ so don't use it.
hoperties - use the flowers and leaves
for the heart, nerves , bronchial problems
and kidney conditions. For sore throat
make strong tea and gargle four to five
times a day, swa llowing a mouthful after
each gargle.
Dose - one teaspoonful (two to three
flower heads) to one cup of boiling water,
steep for 20 - 30 minutes.
Plantain - Plantago major, L.
Plantain usually grows among the
weeds and has long, narrow, ribbed
leaves that radiate from the base. The
flower stem is stiff and smooth with a triangular-looking flower head. The stem is
6 - 18 inches high. The head is short and
studded with tiny, dull-white flowers that
have long slender stamens.
Properties - use the whole plant both
internall y and externally for a diuretic (increases the secretion and flow of urine).
and for healing fresh or chronic wounds
or sores . It can be used for excessive menstrual flow , inflammation of the intestine,
kidney and bladder trouble, to induce appetite and to help stop bleeding.
Plantain is abundant in this area, and
ironically enough, it grows near houses for home problems like burns and cuts.
Dose - one te'aspoonful to one cup of
boiling water, steep for 10 - 15 minutes .
Red Raspberry - Rubus idaeus, L. .
The stems of this perennial are generally
erect, freely branched, three to four feet
high a nd covered with small, straight
slender prickles. The leaves are pale green
on top, gray-white below, doub ly se rrated
w ith a rounded base, and about three
inches long. The small , white, pendulous
fl owers bloom in Mayor June and the
raspberr ies co me out in June and July.
Properties The leaves should be
p icked after the fruit is goi ng out, and
while they a re st ill green , because s un dried leaves don' t have much medicinal
va lue (t hi s is true for all herbs).
Red Raspberry leaves help fever and
colds because they cause the body to perspire, which opens the pores. This allows
the body to let off steam and will rid it of
fever. The leaves are also good for sore
throats and mucous membrane .
Dose - If fresh, four to six leaves to
two cups o f boiling water, steep for 15
minutes. Take a cup two to three times a
day.
Queen Anne's Lace - Daucus carota,
L. Umb elliferea
Queen Anne's Lace is recognized as a
wi ld carrot and the root smells like garden
carrot. It grows by roadsides and in fields.
T he fleshy root tapers, is yellowish-white
and sweet sme lling and tasting. The plant
can grow from one to five feet in height.
The stem is erect, branching, and has a
bristly feel to it. The leaves are basal or
alterna te (leaflets on two opposite sides of
the leaf} . The flowers are usually white
and arranged in a flat-topped compound
umbels (the flowers all aris ing from one
point, th e you nger in the cen ter) _ There is
a centra l flower , usually dark red or deep
purple, blooming in June or August. The
seeds are a dull brown color, flat on one
side and convex on the other.
Properties - The entire plant can be
used as a stimulant , to break up obstructions and to increase the flow of urine (diuretic). The root and stem s are often
ground and used for kidney and bladder
problems, painful urination , and to in' crease menstrual flow. For externa l
wounds , ulcers and abscesses, use the
grated root made into a poultice.
Dose - One teaspoonful to one pint
boiling water, steep for 30 minutes. Take
three to four cups daily.
Chickwee,d - Stella ria media, Cyrill, L.
Chickweed is a very common plant in
this area and grows everywhere, but particularly in gardens. The stem is weak and
straggly, and branches freely. There is a
line of white hairs along one side only,
changing direction at each pair of leaves.
The very small flowers bloom from spring
to autumn.
Properties - One can use the whole
herb for softening and soothing inflamed
parts. It is also good for chest colds and
for cooling off. When thirsty, drink a tea
made from Chickweed or eat the plant itself , perhaps in a salad. Excellent for liver
ailments, inflammation and weakness of
bowels and stomach. Used externally as a
poultice for sore eyes (apply on cotton
pads over closed eyes); for burns, boils,
swellings and redness of face. It is also a
diuretic (increases the flow of urine) and
so is helpful in losing weight.
Dose - Use one heaping teaspoonful to
a cup of boiling water, steep for 20 - 30
minutes. Take three to four cups a day
between meals, drink one swa llow at a
time.
Yarrow - Achillea millefolium, L.
Yarrow is a perennial and grows in pastures , meadows and a long roadsides .
Don't confuse it with Queen Anne's Lace
or Pearly Everlasting. I've seen it growing
near Scotch Broom. It flowers from May
to October. The plant can grow to a
height of three feet. The stem is rough
and angu lar. The leaves are one to six
inches long, clasp the stem at the base,
and are slight ly woolly (which distinguishes it from Queen Anne's Lace). The
flowers are white clusters with a flat-top
daisy-like appearance . They have a faint ,
pleasant but peculiar fragrance.

wit h or replace that one that didn 't quite
make it throu gh the shock of moving?
Consid er a good quality house plant that
ca n adjust to you r new surroundings.
Start off with a sma ll plant, they are,
leas t expensive, easier to adapt to the new
environment, and more enjoyable to
watch grow up. By determining your heat
and light co nditions you should be able to
find many unusua l varieties of house
plants to grow in your new domain.
In the Olympia area there are only a
handful of sto res that sell plants. You can
buy directly from a local greenhouse or at
department and grocery stores.
On Olympia's 4th stree t across from
Rainier Bank is a small plant store, "Look-
ing Glass Gardens." This miniature jungle
'is filled with rare exotic house plants and
a good selection of common ones too.
The owners ha ve hand-picked all the
plant s from gree nhouse s around the
Northwest and California. The prices are
a litt le higher , but the quality is well
wort h th e investment.
"O lympia Greenhouse," located on th e
Westside along Division Street , is th e oldest sel ler of house plants and o ther nursery item s in the O lymp ia area. Here you
can buy pla nts directly ou t of a greenhouse. Thi s could be to your best advantage if the plant has been properly grown
to adjust to a home environment. By buy ing directly from a greenhouse yillu get a
plant that ha s been spared the sometimes
hars h treat ment given by store owners.
Like most large department sto re s,
"Peoples" in the South Sound Shopping
Center has opened up a new pl ant department. They offer a w ide selection of lush
green plants a t modest prices. The store
co n tract s with a wholesale green hol!'(
who repla ce those plants t hat don 't sell
every wee k, leavin g you wit h a wide selection of healthy- look ing plan ts.
House plants so ld throu gh grocery
stores and discount dep artment sto res
01 ten look half dead eve n befo re bu\'ing
t hem . One exception to that is the plants
5u ld throu gh Sdfeway. The plants appear
to be of good qua lit y. though a ca refu l
eyl' for bugs and the general qual itv of a
plant is essential when purchasing a plant
from a ny store.
The purchase of a house plant shou ld
be made on th e co nditi on that you kn llw
the plant 's name and it s requirements to
survive. Avoid sa les on house plants because they are usua lly not worth the di sco unt in price .
'On our planet, things are different'
"Amazingly, while it is not the custom on Earth to ingest books
and magazines, The Evergreen State College Bookstore offers this and much
more, including: art, engineering and drafting supplies, photographic
supplies (including the best paper prices in town); film processing; jewelry
(class rings); athletic clothing; magazine subscriptions; and if we're
still hungry, we can order any book in print through their Special Order
Service! "
"Oh, wow, Elvin, I think I'm going to project! Let's beam down right now!"
Lucky you TESC student. You don't have to beam anywhere. The lESC
Bookstore is right on campus, in the CAB Building.

gram attracts s tudents, staff
members, and Olympia residents
to its non-credit evening and afternoon meetings. More than 300
persons participate each quarter
in the workshops, which are of fered for a small fee.
The purpose of the workshops,
according to the Leisure Education brochure, is to provide
"hobby" or "leisure time" activities for students and community
members.
"If someone wants to lea rn
darkroom skills, " Evergreen student Stan Shore. who is coordina ting the workshops fall quarter
co mmented, "but he or she
doesn' t want the credit in photography when their main interes t might be somethi ng like business management , then the workshops are just the thing. "
FLEXIBILITY
The exact "curriculum " of the
Leisure Education program varies
from quarter to quarter, depending upon the seaso n and avai lability of teachers . Fall quarter
has had the highest enrollment of
student s in the past, but the
most community members attend
workshops in winter , according
to Shore.
" If a stude>'1t wants a certain .
type of workshop ," Shore stated,"
or an instructor has a certain
skill he wants to pass on, the
chances are the Leisure Education
program will offer that work shop. We can be very flexible. "
Proof of that flexibility is
shown in the wide variety of
workshops the Leisure Education
program ha s offered in the past.
Workshop s included c reative
writing, ten nis, Kung Fu. Aikido,
lithography, photography, film making, beekeeping, fencing,
mushroom identifica tion, birdwatching, sa iling an d calligraphy
- to name just a few .
The Leisure Education pro gram also supports three "open
studio" labs at Evergreen: a jewelry lab, a six-person photography darkroom, a nd a pottery
studi o with 16 potter's wheels.
Each of these facilities are open
over 40 hours a week during the
acade mi c year for beginners,
skilled craftspersons or workshop
students to use,
Carefully raising the clay into shape, this potter is taking advllnlage of "open studio " time at the Messy Artsl 201 building.
COST
The fee for the workshops
ranges from $5 for fencing to $40
for horseback riding. The average fee is abou t $25.
The workshop instructors are
paid a percen tage of the fees col-
lected and a much smaller percentage goes to pay for the paperwork involved , and for printing a brochure.
"The instructors don't make a
fortune off the workshops ,"
Shore expla ined, "Ask one of the
instructors. Ask any of the instructors. Leisure Education is
supported by student fees so
we're not making any money
either."
REGISTRATION
Registration for the Leisure Ed ucation workshops takes place
during the first week of in struc tion fall quarter and may either
be mailed in to the Recreation
Center or brought in personally .
Shore warned against two com mon mistakes students make
w hen sign ing up for workshops.
The first, he said, is students .
wait too long to register and the
workshop they wanted has been
filled up or the registration deadline is passed. The second mistake is thinking that if they don't
pay when they register no one
wi ll notice .
.
" In fact ," Shore said, "we notice very quickly and the student
loses their place in the workshop
if they don't pay."

The New York cut Pepper

was a large one, accompanied by
surprisingly fresh cooked broc coli and a huge baked potato.
The steak was smothered in a

The Spar is somewhat of an
institution in downtown Olympia, and looks the part: the long
lunch counter with its wooden
seats (each with their own little
metal clips of unknown purpose),
the 50's vintage booths that look
like a new addition , the middleaged waitresses rushing about,
grabbing things without even
having to look (you know she
must have been working there
for at least 15 years); tell you
that this is no ordinary restau rant, but one with character. It
is this character, as well as the
f~t that the Spar serves good
food at reasonable prices, that
has made it a favorite of Evergreeners who frequent downtown
Olympia .
As for the food, the Spar has
the best breakfasts in town. Your
best bet here is the *4 breakfast:
two eggs, ham, bacon or sausage,
hash browns, toast and coffee for
$2.25. Or, if you are a pancake
fan, try the *2: griddle cakes,
ham, bacon or sausage and one
egg for $2.15. If you are one of
those people who can't stand
eggs, the n has ham, bacon or
sausage, hOish browns and toast
for $1.95. For those of you with
large early morning appetites,
try the brrakfast stuk, with two
eggs and hash browns for $4.OS.
Omelettes from $1.35 (pLtin) to
52.25 (ham). Juice is 40 emts.
8rQkf~st i.s served all d;ay.
At lunchtime, try one at the
Spar's daily specials, with a cup
of the iOUp of the day, WK. of
the day, roll and entfft. These
ra~ in price from $1.15 to
-53.75, with a choice of about a
dozrn entr.s, · usually inc:ludina
sUch entrftS as liver and onions,
pork chops, Veal cutlet, sirlOin
'tips m p'avy, and salmon stuk.
The iOUp of the d;ay is very .
good, ~M might . be clam
chowdef (frid;aY1"rut Saturdays).
bun, turkey ~bIe, wart.h~, or othen. A bowl is 10
em_t.s, ~ cup is ss. emts,
The Spu also has ~ good oyster stew in 01 huge (and I mean
huge) bowl for 52.25, The chef
Qlad ($2.55) is similarly huge,
and you should really get a half
chef Ql.d ($2,15) unless you are
really hungry,
If you are a burger freak, the
Trailblazer is for you, This is a
two-patty cheeseburger with everything on it, and comes with
fries for $1.90. Hot sandwiches
range in price from $1.00 - 2.10;
cold sandwiches from $1.00$1.50.
Steak and chops at the Spar
are excellent. There have been
times when I could cut my steak
or pork chops w ith my fork.
They aren't alway s this tender,
but are always good. Rib steak is
$6 .60; New York, $5.95; sirloin, $5.75; sirloin steak sandw ich, $4.10 .
In three years of ea ting at the
Spar, the only thing that I have
ever had that wasn't good was
fried chicken, which was overcooked. The Spar is at 114 E.
4th, and is open from 6 a.m , to
9 p .m. And they take BankAmericard .

SIUPPEB'S FISH AND CRIP8
When I fi~t set foot in the
new Skipper's 1 was prepared for
a typical franchise treat - inept
service and enough grease to satisfy my daily requirement of carbohydrates, However, I dound
neither. Two dolla~ and sixtynine cents brought me a Combo
(jumbo fried shrimps, scanops,
fish and chips, and cole slaw). It
looked like ~ mU&rr serving
until I found that it filled mr up.
Fftr those who are broke there is
the AlneriQn Fish ~nd Chips
(two piecu of fish, $1.39), The
lihrimp "I;ad, while not the
wend's finest, is still. bargain ·at
99 cents.
The best day to go is or. Tuesdays. 'For $l,99 you can eet aU
the fish ;and chips, chowder, ;and
cole ShlW you can eat .
Some sugHtions: lay off the
chow~, it just doesn't seem as
fresh as it should. AnotJRr ,oad
bet to stay away from is the
chocoLtte sundi pudding which
has enough il'lJ!jredients to INke
only ~ chemist h;appy.
[ do recommend Skipper's ~s
an ocasioNI treat. The food is
generally good, the pl~ce is exceptionally clean and it won't
cost a mint to get a decent meal.
Skipper's is located on the
Westside.
THE DOWN DEIUY
The Brown Derby doesn't need
a revi.ew, just a plug. The Brown
Derby is the finest place to eat in
all of Olympia . They specialize
in homemade soups, cake, bread ,
and ice cream . The homemade
s pecials (clam c how der , beef
stew , soups) are a ll superb. The
service is great, the atmosphere
is crowded but congenial. and
th e food is supe r.
I can sum it up like this. Don't
go to the Brown Derby if you
li ke canned so up . Don 't go if
you like Wonder bread. Don't go
if you like to spend a lot of
money o n a mea l. If you like
good home cooking and wouldn't
mind getting stuffed for less than
$4 go to the Brown Derby. By
the way, it's located at 1001 S.
Capitol.

There isn ' t generally much
happening in Olympia, so what
is there to do 1 Going out to the
bars is one of the few alternatives available. No:w, keep in
mind, if you visit any of the bars
mentioned, that you are in culturally deprived Olympia, so
don't expect a whole llJl.
It's my opinion that no ba~ in
Olympia provide an atmosphere
worth paying extra for. So deal
the best way possible with the
material you have to work with.
Now, ['m not a lush , and on

lected and a much smaller percentage goes to pay for the paperwork involved , and for printing a brochure.
"The instructors don't make a
fortune off the workshops ,"
Shore expla ined, "Ask one of the
instructors. Ask any of the instructors. Leisure Education is
supported by student fees so
we're not making any money
either."
REGISTRATION
Registration for the Leisure Ed ucation workshops takes place
during the first week of in struc tion fall quarter and may either
be mailed in to the Recreation
Center or brought in personally .
Shore warned against two com mon mistakes students make
w hen sign ing up for workshops.
The first, he said, is students .
wait too long to register and the
workshop they wanted has been
filled up or the registration deadline is passed. The second mistake is thinking that if they don't
pay when they register no one
wi ll notice .
.
" In fact ," Shore said, "we notice very quickly and the student
loses their place in the workshop
if they don't pay."

The steak was smothered in a

The Spar is somewhat of an
institution in downtown Olympia, and looks the part: the long
lunch counter with its wooden
seats (each with their own little
metal clips of unknown purpose),
the 50's vintage booths that look
like a new addition , the middleaged waitresses rushing about,
grabbing things without even
having to look (you know she
must have been working there
for at least 15 years); tell you
that this is no ordinary restau rant, but one with character. It
is this character, as well as the
f~t that the Spar serves good
food at reasonable prices, that
has made it a favorite of Evergreeners who frequent downtown
Olympia .
As for the food, the Spar has
the best breakfasts in town. Your
best bet here is the *4 breakfast:
two eggs, ham, bacon or sausage,
hash browns, toast and coffee for
$2.25. Or, if you are a pancake
fan, try the *2: griddle cakes,
ham, bacon or sausage and one
egg for $2.15. If you are one of
those people who can't stand
eggs, the n has ham, bacon or
sausage, hOish browns and toast
for $1.95. For those of you with
large early morning appetites,
try the brrakfast stuk, with two
eggs and hash browns for $4.OS.
Omelettes from $1.35 (pLtin) to
52.25 (ham). Juice is 40 emts.
8rQkf~st i.s served all d;ay.
At lunchtime, try one at the
Spar's daily specials, with a cup
of the iOUp of the day, WK. of
the day, roll and entfft. These
ra~ in price from $1.15 to
-53.75, with a choice of about a
dozrn entr.s, · usually inc:ludina
sUch entrftS as liver and onions,
pork chops, Veal cutlet, sirlOin
'tips m p'avy, and salmon stuk.
The iOUp of the d;ay is very .
good, ~M might . be clam
chowdef (frid;aY1"rut Saturdays).
bun, turkey ~bIe, wart.h~, or othen. A bowl is 10
em_t.s, ~ cup is ss. emts,
The Spu also has ~ good oyster stew in 01 huge (and I mean
huge) bowl for 52.25, The chef
Qlad ($2.55) is similarly huge,
and you should really get a half
chef Ql.d ($2,15) unless you are
really hungry,
If you are a burger freak, the
Trailblazer is for you, This is a
two-patty cheeseburger with everything on it, and comes with
fries for $1.90. Hot sandwiches
range in price from $1.00 - 2.10;
cold sandwiches from $1.00$1.50.
Steak and chops at the Spar
are excellent. There have been
times when I could cut my steak
or pork chops w ith my fork.
They aren't alway s this tender,
but are always good. Rib steak is
$6 .60; New York, $5.95; sirloin, $5.75; sirloin steak sandw ich, $4.10 .
In three years of ea ting at the
Spar, the only thing that I have
ever had that wasn't good was
fried chicken, which was overcooked. The Spar is at 114 E.
4th, and is open from 6 a.m , to
9 p .m. And they take BankAmericard .

SIUPPEB'S FISH AND CRIP8
When I fi~t set foot in the
new Skipper's 1 was prepared for
a typical franchise treat - inept
service and enough grease to satisfy my daily requirement of carbohydrates, However, I dound
neither. Two dolla~ and sixtynine cents brought me a Combo
(jumbo fried shrimps, scanops,
fish and chips, and cole slaw). It
looked like ~ mU&rr serving
until I found that it filled mr up.
Fftr those who are broke there is
the AlneriQn Fish ~nd Chips
(two piecu of fish, $1.39), The
lihrimp "I;ad, while not the
wend's finest, is still. bargain ·at
99 cents.
The best day to go is or. Tuesdays. 'For $l,99 you can eet aU
the fish ;and chips, chowder, ;and
cole ShlW you can eat .
Some sugHtions: lay off the
chow~, it just doesn't seem as
fresh as it should. AnotJRr ,oad
bet to stay away from is the

has enough il'lJ!jredients to INke
only ~ chemist h;appy.
[ do recommend Skipper's ~s
an ocasioNI treat. The food is
generally good, the pl~ce is exceptionally clean and it won't
cost a mint to get a decent meal.
Skipper's is located on the
Westside.
THE DOWN DEIUY
The Brown Derby doesn't need
a revi.ew, just a plug. The Brown
Derby is the finest place to eat in
all of Olympia . They specialize
in homemade soups, cake, bread ,
and ice cream . The homemade
s pecials (clam c how der , beef
stew , soups) are a ll superb. The
service is great, the atmosphere
is crowded but congenial. and
th e food is supe r.
I can sum it up like this. Don't
go to the Brown Derby if you
li ke canned so up . Don 't go if
you like Wonder bread. Don't go
if you like to spend a lot of
money o n a mea l. If you like
good home cooking and wouldn't
mind getting stuffed for less than
$4 go to the Brown Derby. By
the way, it's located at 1001 S.
Capitol.

There isn ' t generally much
happening in Olympia, so what
is there to do 1 Going out to the
bars is one of the few alternatives available. No:w, keep in

don't expect a whole llJl.
It's my opinion that no ba~ in
Olympia provide an atmosphere
worth paying extra for. So deal
the best way possible with the
material you have to work with.

Blues and Robbins' first book,
Another Roadside Attraction .
A lternative Opening #3: A
few summers ago I worked as a
junior sherpa o n the side of Mt.
Ba ker for a now-b a nkrup t
mountain-climbing organization,
and during rest periods I curled
up o n a rock and read Anoth er
Roadside At traction . Part of the
act io n in the novel took p lace on
M t. Baker, a nd it was fun to
im ag in e the fictiona l Ama nd a
a nd Jo hn Pau l Ziller hunting for
psychedelic mushrooms in the
forest b elow. I h ad picked u p the
book on a whim, but when I
ca me off the mountain I was su rprised to find Tom Robbins a
household name among hippies
everywhere. "Another Roadside
Attraction," they chanted nightly ,
"is .like our Bible, man, "
Another Roadside Attraction
isn't that bad , It's a nice local
fantasy by a nice local writer,
and it makes even the mosi hum o rless young folks laugh at
least once, Although its philosophical stance seems entrenched
in Haight Ashbury circa 1967, it
does have some nice moments,
a nd it makes excellent reading
for weary junior sherpas,
But Even Cowgirls Get the
Blues is like a lousy imitation of
the firs t book, with all the origin al defects magnified to gro -
tesque proportions. The plot has
something to do with a young
woman e ndow ed with abnormally large thumbs a nd her adventures - kind of like Alice in
Wonder land m e rged with a
Cheech a nd Chong album , The
book is extremely self-indulgen t,
full of half-baked pseudo- profundities a nd cute little sniggers
like, "The norma l rectal temperature of a hummingbird is 104,6,"
Every chapter is full of Robbins'
tedious and pointless asides. It's
as if " Here - I-Am - Writing - A N utty- Novel" were inserted into
every paragraph. An example:
"Well , here we are at Chapter
100. This calls for a little celebration. I am an author and
therefore in the same business
God is in: if I say this page is a
bottle of champagne, it is a bottle of champagne . Reader, will
you share a cup of bubbly with
me? You prefer French to
d omestic? Okay, I'll make it
French, Cheersl"
The above quote isn't that terrible in isolation, but it occurs
o n page 301, and after 300 pages
of similar filler you want to drop
the book and go smash Robbins'
typew riter. All th e characters
speak in the same convoluted,
wisecracki ng style, and there is
no variation in tone throughout
the book , It opens with an epigraph by William Blake, to show
that this is D eep Stuff, then follows with a Roy Rogers quote,
to let us k now it's Campy Giggle
Time, Paradoxically, Robbins'
novel is silly at the same time it
takes itself too seriously.
T o m Robbins is one of those
people who took LSD for the
first time in the 1960's . .As with
Ken Kesey, LSD profoundly influenced him and his art, Unfortunately , all the ar tis ts who
based their visions on last decade's chemical experiments have
burned themselves out or talked
themselves into artistic deadends, and Robbins is no exception ,
However, a lot of other people
also took LSD or similar drugs,
and for them Even Cowgirls Get
the Blues will alternately cause
howls of laughter and slow, serious nods of the head . As Tom
Robbins says repea ted in the
book: "I believe in everything;'
nothing is sacred / I believe in
nothing; every thing is sacred.
"Ha ha ho ho and hee hee,"
Isn't that Zen, man? Something, anyway.

TAVERNS
The Eastside Club
This tavern has been a consistent favorite for years. It's run
by a guy named Babe who has
owned it since somewhere around
the 40's. There are assorted searelated objects on the walls , including a huge King crab
mounted on black cloth (l doubt
that it is stuffed). If you're into
poker there is a card room with
a $2 limit. Babe has the best six
pool tables in town that rent for
$1.20 an hour. They' re regulatio n size, two inch slate tables,
with fringed pockets from
whic h you can retrieve your
balls in stead of having them roll
into the inner workings on ly to
be had again by shoving in another qu arter. If you are so incl ined , there is a foos-ball table
freque ntly in use. The clientele is
mostly you ng (as opposed to old
and red-neck ) and a place to
have a good time, Budweiser is
on tap. however, it's a better
deal to drink quarts.

O lympia Brewery, Tumwater
When they say "It's the

think of rain . When I travel and

answer "Olympia," the standard
line is , " Oh, It's The Water, heh ,
heh, heh." Call me a doctor, I'm
gonna get sick. Growing up in
O lympia meant going to high
school somewhat near the brewery and having your nostrils
fill ed with the smell of hops
cooking every day. But when
friends come to town (and what
else is there to do), it's time to
go to the brewery, You should
do this at least once; I've been
several times . And , although if
you've heard one brewery rap,
you've heard them all, there is
the redeeming fac tor of the free

Even Cowgirls get the Cutes
by Matt Groening
EVEN COWGIRLS GET THE
BLUES . /' y T o", Robbins .
H<1l1gl,toJl Mi ff /i,l. 365 page s .
S-i°5 .
Ope ning I)aragraph 10: The
"rigi nal head line to r this rev iew
was , " Can a Man Be Funny
Abo ut Lesbians?" But I sc rapped
that w hen I decided th a t Lenny
Bruce probabl y was funny about
lesbi;:n s at one ti me or another ,
so theo reti ca ll y it could be don e,
even t hough Tom Robbins' new
n(wel. Et't'll Cowgi rls Ge t the
BllIl's, is as unfu nn y about lesb ia ns as it is about every thing
else.
A lternative Ope ning: Combine
1 ,000 microg rams of LSD with
two cups of Kur t Vonnegut , Jr. ,
blend w ith powde red Richard
Brau tigan , stir in a bowl of
cru shed Fires ign Theatre, Erich
Sega l. and 1'. be rt Heinlein, and
bake o n a cookie shee t until you
ha VI' a cloyingly sweet fud ge:
t he res ult is Even Cowgirls Get
the B/lies.
A lt ernative Opening #2: Ca ll ing a ll men ! Wa nt to get laid?
Write a cult book detailing the
characterist ics of your favorite
fantasy woman , make it hip and
t\ N('vd by
TOM
ROBBINS
I\NOTKERROilDSIDE
cooL throw in some soft-core
porn , and write yourself into the
book as an especially a tt ractive
character . Then wait for the new
breed of sex / drug I fantasy-writer
groupies to come flocking to
you r door. To see w hat I mean
skim Even Cowgirls Get the
Blues and Robbins' first book,
Another Roadside Attraction .
A lternative Opening #3: A
few summers ago I worked as a
junior sherpa o n the side of Mt.
Ba ker for a now-b a nkrup t
mountain-climbing organization,
and during rest periods I curled
up o n a rock and read Anoth er
Roadside At traction . Part of the
act io n in the novel took p lace on
M t. Baker, a nd it was fun to
im ag in e the fictiona l Ama nd a
a nd Jo hn Pau l Ziller hunting for
psychedelic mushrooms in the
forest b elow. I h ad picked u p the
book on a whim, but when I
ca me off the mountain I was su rprised to find Tom Robbins a
household name among hippies
everywhere. "Another Roadside
Attraction," they chanted nightly ,
"is .like our Bible, man, "
Another Roadside Attraction
isn't that bad , It's a nice local
fantasy by a nice local writer,
and it makes even the mosi hum o rless young folks laugh at
least once, Although its philosophical stance seems entrenched
in Haight Ashbury circa 1967, it
does have some nice moments,
a nd it makes excellent reading
for weary junior sherpas,
But Even Cowgirls Get the
Blues is like a lousy imitation of
the firs t book, with all the origin al defects magnified to gro -
tesque proportions. The plot has
something to do with a young
woman e ndow ed with abnormally large thumbs a nd her adventures - kind of like Alice in
Wonder land m e rged with a
Cheech a nd Chong album , The
book is extremely self-indulgen t,
full of half-baked pseudo- profundities a nd cute little sniggers
like, "The norma l rectal temperature of a hummingbird is 104,6,"
Every chapter is full of Robbins'
tedious and pointless asides. It's
as if " Here - I-Am - Writing - A N utty- Novel" were inserted into
every paragraph. An example:
"Well , here we are at Chapter
100. This calls for a little celebration. I am an author and
therefore in the same business
God is in: if I say this page is a
bottle of champagne, it is a bottle of champagne . Reader, will
you share a cup of bubbly with
me? You prefer French to
d omestic? Okay, I'll make it
French, Cheersl"
The above quote isn't that terrible in isolation, but it occurs
o n page 301, and after 300 pages
of similar filler you want to drop
the book and go smash Robbins'
typew riter. All th e characters
speak in the same convoluted,
wisecracki ng style, and there is
no variation in tone throughout
the book , It opens with an epigraph by William Blake, to show
that this is D eep Stuff, then follows with a Roy Rogers quote,
to let us k now it's Campy Giggle
Time, Paradoxically, Robbins'
novel is silly at the same time it
takes itself too seriously.
T o m Robbins is one of those
people who took LSD for the
first time in the 1960's . .As with
Ken Kesey, LSD profoundly influenced him and his art, Unfortunately , all the ar tis ts who
based their visions on last decade's chemical experiments have
burned themselves out or talked
themselves into artistic deadends, and Robbins is no exception ,
However, a lot of other people
also took LSD or similar drugs,
and for them Even Cowgirls Get
the Blues will alternately cause
howls of laughter and slow, serious nods of the head . As Tom
Robbins says repea ted in the
book: "I believe in everything;'
nothing is sacred / I believe in
nothing; every thing is sacred.
"Ha ha ho ho and hee hee,"
Isn't that Zen, man? Something, anyway.

It doesn't look good, b ut it
ta stes good. If yo u went in
dressed like a m o nkey , nobody
wou ld ba t an eyelash. No checks
cashed over $20. The clock over
the bar looks like it came ou t of
your Aunt Ze lda's k itche n . It is a
working-c lass bar where you
don 't hav e to put on airs. The
decor is sort of N.CO. Club red
and gold fn il wall paper wit h
weird paintings hun g around .
Th e drink s are cons istently

ba r drinks are the ir s pecia lty , so
Jon ' l order anything fancy or
yo u ' ll be so rr y , Their happy
hour is from 6 - 10 a. m. week·

drinks are 75 cents . T he Voodoo

dress up or the management will

can tell how hip it is by the
prices, drink s fro m $1.25 to
$3.40 . The chairs a re comfort ab le though , so if you want to
dress ' up and go sit somewhere,
hide the fact that you migh t be
having a good time, and pay a
good price for wa ter, then the
G reen house is definitely for you.
The Golden Carriage - Car riage Room
Happy hour 5 - 7 p,m. All
drinks have double liquor for
singles price . The Golden Carriage is a hot si ng les bar with a
five-piece M.O.R. band. However , it's pret ty tame between 5
a nd 7 p.m. The decor is "ea rly
creative ki t" w ith the accent on
red. They are pret ty stri ct on

they don ' t hassle you for your

The dr ink s are good and yo u

double is $1.25 during happy

Clw /eo 's - G rinder Room
It 's tile best dea l in tow n . Between 4:30 a nd 6 p.m. Monday
through Sa turday you can get
doubles for $1 and the drinks are
consistent ly good. Their happy

Un less you drink s traight s ho ts I
recommend you order your

Don't order the

TAVERNS
The Eastside Club
This tavern has been a consistent favorite for years. It's run
by a guy named Babe who has
owned it since somewhere around
the 40's. There are assorted searelated objects on the walls , including a huge King crab
mounted on black cloth (l doubt
that it is stuffed). If you're into
poker there is a card room with
a $2 limit. Babe has the best six
pool tables in town that rent for
$1.20 an hour. They' re regulatio n size, two inch slate tables,
with fringed pockets from
whic h you can retrieve your
balls in stead of having them roll
into the inner workings on ly to
be had again by shoving in another qu arter. If you are so incl ined , there is a foos-ball table
freque ntly in use. The clientele is
mostly you ng (as opposed to old
and red-neck ) and a place to
have a good time, Budweiser is
on tap. however, it's a better
deal to drink quarts.
Character 's Comer
C haracter's Corner is at the
head of Steamboat Island road
right off Highway ]01. D uring
the winter they have li ve music
a t this roadh ouse, a nd the clienlele is a mixtu re of everyone.
T hey serve chicken and jo-jos,
uysters, and prawns , T hey have
Blitz and Bavarian Da rk on tap.
[t is a friendly place and a good
ne ighborhood tavern. The name
speaks fo r it se lf.
Two Mile HOll se (Spud and
Elma's)
T hi s is the closest tave rn to
Evergreen. They are very tight
about L D., so be prepared. They
have Olympia on tap and , as
mo st taverns do, they sell beer
by the gall on "to go" for about
$2, (The price is a lways changing due to inflation ), It's not one
of my favorites but it is convenientl y located, Music consists of
an organ, and whe n it is going
t he clientele is generally an older
crowd . They have pool over in a
co rner a nd a long shuffleboa rd
by the window,
O lympia Brewery, Tumwater
When they say "It's the
water," around here I usually
think of rain . When I travel and
people ask where I'm from , and I
answer "Olympia," the standard
line is , " Oh, It's The Water, heh ,
heh, heh." Call me a doctor, I'm
gonna get sick. Growing up in
O lympia meant going to high
school somewhat near the brewery and having your nostrils
fill ed with the smell of hops
cooking every day. But when
friends come to town (and what
else is there to do), it's time to
go to the brewery, You should
do this at least once; I've been
several times . And , although if
you've heard one brewery rap,
you've heard them all, there is
the redeeming fac tor of the free
beer in the tap room at the conclusion of the to ur. I've known
peo pl e who have had the scam
down well enough to be able to
sign in the guest book a nd go
straight to the tap room, eliminat in g the ha lf- ho ur tour . Bu t it
is no t that easy anymore .
Now, abo ut Olympia beer . . .
anyw here else you can't get me
to drink the stuff, but in the tap
room. due to exce llent temperature control ~ un like a t taverns
- they have the best dark beer
on tap, In this town you can't
get any closer to perfect dark
beer th a n w hat they have a t the
brewery. T he li ght is O ,K ., but
defin it ely have a few dark be~rs
whi le you're th ere, T he to urs ru n

Dear Students,
A room, or a set of four
rooms, for the storage of boxes
of food. They were converted,
as it were, into an underground
cell for these captives who referred to themselves as des·
perados and to the cell as the
"bungalow." Four rooms and a
causeway connecting them.
They spent their time lounging
in the causeway, but they did
not live casually. They lived
callously with ferocious tenderness.
Air was let in twice a day.
The first one to it breathed it
up; there was not enough to go
around. This made things stuffy.
They replaced air with compassion. They breathed easier. Together they grew weak and
dizzy. Pale, they heaved in
pans. The room spun around.
Light was seldom seen. Their
eyes grew sensitive to other
stimuli. It hurt to close them.
They worshipped the water that
came to them, and with the
imagination lodged in their feet
they envisioned their eyes as
average of 142/3 hours a week buying food,
preparing it, cooking it, and cleani ng up. The
convenience of having your food cooked for you
gives you extra time for yo urself.
Spend a little time with your friends: Eating
a good nutritious meal in the dining hall is not
only a time to greet new friends, it's time to
socialize and catch up on the news with o ld friends .
Sign up for a meal plan-eating that's
inexpensive, easy, and enjoyable.

One man had pimples. Although no one could pick out
such details in the darkened
cell, he still worried. Another
man thought that he might
meet someone.
Somehow, a bird got in. Everyone was elated. They chased
it until it died of exhaustion.
A man named .Peter had
saved the crusts of bread slices.
He had cut the bread out from
them so that the crusts remained in unbroken rings. He
thought afterward that he might
have been able to use them
with the bird somehow.
Edward made a mark on the
wall every time he awoke from
sleep.
One who had been a priest
would talk to spirits oil what he
guelllled were Sunday nights.
He gripped his right hand
loosely into a fist and held it
about six inches away from his
cheek, which he hollowed out
by forming his mouth into a
tight O. His left hand traced
back and forth along a simple
pencil line. He believed that the
spirits could get him in touch

He began a workshop so tliit
could teach others to converse

the language alive. Each day as
he tsught, he forgot. Soon he
had forgotten everything, and
his pupils mumbled words
which no one knew.
Someone developed an inter ·
est in motorcycles.
Someone made a collection of
things that smelled the most
like pussy. His favorite object
was a three-inch length of twine
that had been frayed at both
ends, which he would wear
under his nose like a mustache.
One of them habitually felt
that he was on the brink of attaining perfection.
One of them wrote fiction and
abandoned the practice when he
was unable to decide whether
what he had written would be
considered short stories, novel ·
las, or novels.
One of them often cupped his
hands in front of his mouth,
testing for bad breath. It
smelled bad, but he didn't know
whether he was smelling his
hands or his breath.
One of them lost all hope of
rescue and was cured of stuttering.
Two of them played out en tire games of chess in their
heads, silently nodding to each
other. The white team was
easier to visualize in the darkness. and so the black team
would more often win.
One of them worked at levitation. He would capture ants
and plaee them in small harnesses fastened to a plywood
board that he had salvaged. He
would lie on top of them, .
thinking that his innate kindness to animals would generate
a force of poetic justice stronger
than that of gravity. and in that
way, morality would help him
to levitate. He never could accomplish the feat, and the ants
raised welta on his back that re mained with him through his
yean.
One of them wanted to die.
He did not die.

They were clothed. they were

dominoes or a game with 37'
playing cards. The queens were
pinned on the walls over bunks
of the winners.
Some began to feel that the
bungalow was actually moving,
as if part of some traveling carnival, and attempted to discern
their position by the observation of unfamiliar clues. much as
a child lying on a back seat during a Sunday drive through the

found that he was beginning to

.
One man delighted in making
others yawn.
A man who persisted in wearing thick glasaes would, from
time to time, produce three
sharp pencils of graduated leads
from a shirt pocket, over which
was embroidered the name
Duke. He would line the pencils
closely together, so that the
brand name and the numbers
faced up, rearranging them to
form combinations of 1, 2 and 3.
The appearance of the brand
names bothered him vaguely.
A blonde fellow managed to
magnetize a straight pin, with
which he had planned to make a
compass, but he was unable to
determine which end pointed
North, and which South.
Someone mimicked the sound
of goats, cows, and roosters,
constantly asking the others to
guess what animal he was being

One of them put out a small
newspaper.
One of them polished his
boots and wrote long letters to
home. taking slow drags off his
pencil.
One of them had a photograph
of his girl friend which he secretly wanted to show around,
although he thought that to do
this would be thought silly by
his peers, as he thought those
who showed him pictures in
taverns somewhat inferior.
One of them felt that he was
going crazy. He asked the
others for help and they rushed
to his side. It was no use. He
felt himself slipping completely,
totally, from everything he had
known. Nevertheleas, he continued to carry on relations in
the same fashion that he had
done since the beginning.
One of them never masturbated. Those who had held that
exceasive sleeping reduced the
quality of life considered him a
champion. Masturbation and
sleep became philosophically
synonymous. then indistinguishable as sensations.
One of them became excited
about growing long hair.

Someone developed an inter ·

Someone made a collection of
things that smelled the most
like pussy. His favorite object
was a three-inch length of twine
that had been frayed at both
ends, which he would wear
under his nose like a mustache.
One of them habitually felt
that he was on the brink of attaining perfection.
One of them wrote fiction and
abandoned the practice when he
was unable to decide whether
what he had written would be
considered short stories, novel ·
las, or novels.
One of them often cupped his
hands in front of his mouth,
testing for bad breath. It
smelled bad, but he didn't know
whether he was smelling his
hands or his breath.
One of them lost all hope of
rescue and was cured of stuttering.
Two of them played out en tire games of chess in their
heads, silently nodding to each
other. The white team was
easier to visualize in the darkness. and so the black team
would more often win.
One of them worked at levitation. He would capture ants
and plaee them in small harnesses fastened to a plywood
board that he had salvaged. He
would lie on top of them, .
thinking that his innate kindness to animals would generate
a force of poetic justice stronger
than that of gravity. and in that
way, morality would help him
to levitate. He never could accomplish the feat, and the ants
raised welta on his back that re mained with him through his

A man who persisted in wearing thick glasaes would, from

Consumer G'u ide to Bootleg Records
by Matt. Groening
This is the first of two articles
on bootleg records.
You someti mes come across
them in small-time record stores,
us ually in unmarked bins in
dark. dusty corners in the rear.
They don ' t look like normal a lbums - the covers are blank or
have cheap artwork, and they
of len have stra nge titles: Nocturnal Submission: Robot Love
I Pi nk Floyd). Blind Boy Grunt
I Bob D y lan). Poot Face Boogie
( Frank Zappa) , Rampant Sync hopatio (Little Feat), Spicy
Beattie Songs (The Beatles).
T hese are bootleg , o r underg round, reco rd s. They are ,
s imply. unaut horized recordings .
a lm ost a lways issued without the
approva l o f the people w ho own
the so ngs o n them. They are dif ferent from "' pirate" or "counter ieit "' reco rdings , whic h merely
d uplicate already released material. Boot legs thrive on a subc ultur e o f fanatical' co llectors
bent o n tracking down all the exiS ling material by their favorite
a rtists: the studio outtakes, the
live concerts, the interviews , the
rare pressings . These col1ectors
trade materials from around the
wo rld . conducting their business
thro ugh the mail. ove r long-dista nce phone, or by secret rendez vo us . The rea so n for this obses sio n w ith bootlegs is basically
that ce rtain artists fulfill needs
fo r crrta in peop le, and those
peop le want as much of their
idols' music as they can get their
grubby little hands on.
Bootleg records have a long
history . They have been around
since the earliest days of the record industry. Bootleg opera records from tbe beginning of the
century are still in great demand.
Frank Sinatra bootlegs appeared
in the 1940's. But it wasn't until
1969 that bootleg records rea Il y
hit the big-time.
That was the year a disgruntled
former tape librarian at Col um bia Records issued a two-record
set of unreleased Bob Dylan material called Great White Wonder. It had an unmarked white
cover and blank labels, and the
sound quality was not too hot.
But the album sold weIl (prices
varied from $6 to $20) across the
U.S. and Canada. Columbia
Records immediately went berserk a nd sent a squadron of detectives after the culprits. T hey
issued a stateme nt : "We consider
the release of this record an
ab use of the integrity of a great
artist. They are at one time defaming the artist and defrauding
his admire rs."
But an idea had been born.
Soon Wooden Nickel. a concert
recording of Crosby, StiIls, and
Nash , hit the stores. It sounded
terr ible, but sold well anyway.
The bootleggers were raided and
ta ke n to court, and it looked like
the end . But it was d iscovered
th at the copyright law (passed in
1909) had no clause under wh ich
bootleggers cou ld be prosecuted,
a nd they got off o n a loophole .
Then Rubber Dubber Records
released it s own Crosby, StiIls,
and Nash bootleg, and this time
the sound quality was exceIlent.
At lantic Records, the gro u p's
labe! , found out and publicly
cri ed " Outrage'" Secretly, however, they approached Rubber
Dubber and offered a lot of
money for the tapes . They had
been trying to get a live album
out of the group and were failing miserably .
Boot leg records began to pro-
life rate. Most of them were awful, but word of mouth helped
turn a few of the good ones into
big sellers. These included Neil
Young's Live at the L.A. Forum,
Bob Dylan ' s live at Berkely
' 1965, and the Beatles' Live at the
Hollywood Bowl. The Beatles
record was taken from a 1964
Capitol master tape originally
planned for a live album, but
never used. There are many
bootleg vers'ions of this material
in the stores today, being offered
under such diverse' titles as Shea,
The Good Old Days and Get
Your Yeah - Yeahs Out.
Bootleggers and their families
started receiving telephoned
threats to stop, "or else." Record
stores which sold bootlegs were
told they would lose their distributors. A few boot leg salesme n were shot at. But after a
few busts the record companies
gave up trying to get the bootleggers until a strict law was
passed.
Bootleggers still claim they are
no thre<\t. They point o ut that
their records sell on ly to dedicated fans who go to the concerts and buy the regular albums
anyway. Bootleggers say the
amount of records they sell is a lmost always less than the promotional records the legitimate
companies give away free to
radio stat ions and the press.
Some even think of themselves
as modern-day Robin Hoods .
"We only bootleg people who
are already milli o naires anyway, " said one .
Record companies have quieted
down about the bootleggers but
they still want to rub them ou t.
They are angry because bootleggers pay no performers' fees,
no royalties, and no advertising
costs ; moreover, they produce
only the best-seIling groups,
while legitimate companies have
to make up for poor seIlers on
which they lose money.
RoIling Stone heralded the arrival of Great White Wonder
with the headline, "BOOTLEGS:
ROCK LIBERATION FRONT?",
but soon industry pressure forced
the newspaper to quit reviewing
them. Rolling Stone even con'demned bootlegs in an editorial
in 1970, but a few years later
they discreetly began taking
bootleg record ads in their classified section. The ads, which appear regularly, often use euphemisms for " bootleg" in their
copy.
Bootleg records are now being
manufactured all over the country and in Europe. One company
lists over 400 different records in
its catalog. There is more Bob
Dy lan material availab le on
bootlegs than on his regular albums . At least 50 different
Beatles boot legs exist, but the
quality of almost all of them is
very poor. A loca l bootleg of the
recent Pau l McCartney and
Wings concert has appeared, and
new bootlegs come out every
week.
Bootleg records are notorious
for lousy sound, but good ones
do exist. The variation in quality depends on a number of factors. The first is the quality qf
the performance being recorded.
Nothing is going to make a record of George Harrison with a
hoarse voice sound good. The
second variable is the source of
the tape. Some are taken directly
from the sound board . Others
are taken from tiny cassette recorders smuggled into concerts.
And certain Beatles tapes have
been rescued from Apple garbage
cans and put on bootlegs . The

For the no n-mu sica ll y - o rient ed
student there a re musica l wonJ e rs a- plenty at Evergreen. The
toy for th ose w h o love to expl o re is the ARP sy nthesizer loca ted in Lib. 1302. An Evergreen
educat io n is just not co mplete
w ith out foolin g a r o und w ith this
fo r a n h o ur or so. The spontane ity of the unexpected weird tones
c reated by the novice produces
nothing short of a musical marvel. Well ... the term "musical"
might be questioned in the case
of the uncontrolled , but as one
spends any length o f time with
the ARP it becomes apparent
that this noise machine can in deed be tamed and trained . Besides be ing an interesting experience, the ARP is good expensive fun. The next step beyond
the ARP is the Buchla , a quadro phonic wonder machine avail able to the more serious minded
stud ent s o f electronic music. The
Buchl a is a suitcase- full of plugs,
circ uit s and lights. Therefore. to
be trul y realized the Bu chla has
to be hea rd an d seen .
People who come to college
w ith some form of anticipation
in the direction of major per sonal grow th and expanded hori zo ns (ca n yo u hear the violins in
th e b ackg round? ) shou ld not
o verlook broadening and re fin ing their own musical tastes.
For those of us who were
weaned on AM radio, an idea
like listening ·to Chinese classical
opera or Balinese gong music
might send one straight back to
W o lfman Jack . But it's important
to know other kinds of music are
just as popular as Donny and
Marie, as vocal as the Beach
Boys, as rowdy as Blue Oyster
C ult, as funky as the Commodores, as meaningful as Joni
Mitchell , a nd as spiritua l as John
Co ltrane . The Evergreen library
h o uses a wonderful collection of
casse ttes co ntaining music from
a ll over the wo rld. Many are
more than excellent a nd well
wort h the small effort it takes to
c heck ou t a couple of tapes e very

o n the seco:ld floor of th e Library.
The voice of Evergreen is still
KAOS-FM. Ignore the "radioOly mpia" h y pe. KAOS still has
a lo ng way to go before it will
become the co mmunity radio station of the sta te capitol a nd it's
d o ubtful that comm unity radio is
currently the goa l. so our air waves are b eing fill ed with music
- and lo ts o f it. There are many
op por tunities for Evergreeners
w ith externa l desires to be aired
o n KAO S, be they musical or
non - mu sica l. KAOS offers the
li stener a diverse exposure to
music unlike, perhaps, any radio
s tation yo u have previously enco untered. The disa9vantage of
KA OS being yo ur only radio
sta tion is the predicament shared
by those who completely im merse themselves in the Everg reen environment: A cloistered
perspective, and lo ss of contact
wit h the " real" Top-40 world. It
is too easy to become overly isolated at Evergreeil from the mains tream, even though the mains tream may be polluted. Sound
like a good theme for a song?
Such is the mu sic at Evergreen .
third factor is the quality of the
pressing. Bubbles in the grooves
produce unlistenable records,
and the cheaper vinyl most bootleggers use doesn't help. Bootleggers also often bootleg each
other, and the results are not
pleasing.
But there are gems among the
junk . Bob Dylan / The Band's
concert at Royal Albert Hall in
1966 is considered by some the
best rock 'n' roll performance
ever recorded. This performance
is available on a number of different bootlegs. Similar claims
are made for the Beatles' Five
Nights In A Judo Arena, which
is recognized by collectors as the
highest quality live Beatles re- '
cording ever made . It was recorded on July 2, 1966, in Budo
Kan HaIl in Tokyo. Other c1as- .
sic bootlegs include Joni Mitchell's (Kept On) By Her Own Devices and the RoIling Stones'
1969 recording liv'r Than You1l
Ever Be.

man's search for God. I"n this
new film, the alIegory is only
obliquely hinted a t in churchlike settings and an ominous
stained glass window.
A ll a long Bergman has sought
C hristianity 'S comforts without
the impossib le demands of absolute faith . It is a particularly conte mporary search and in FACE
TO FACE re ligion itself is not
even considered as .a n answer.
More important, separation
from God is . not even considered
as a cause for Jenny's fear and
trembling , her "daily dread. " Instead , it is the clinical detachment from her own life and her
own sexuality that is revealed to
be the real cause of her distress.
The film also chronicles in a
horrifying manner the sense of
guilt that p lagues the Isaakson
family and which is passed on
from one generation to the next
with clockwork regularity .
A p leasantly unexpected feature of the film is the sharp wit
displayed by both the director in
his juxtaposition of events and
the characters in their dialogue.

Ingmar Bergman's latest film
FACE TO FACE , is the Swedish
director's most modern and least
allegorical motion picture, which
- despite apparent technical and
cinematic failings - succeeds as
a deep ly moving, jarring work of
art.
FACE TO FACE is the story
of a middle-aged woman psychiatrist, Je nny Issakson , (played
perfect ly by Liv Ullman) who is
having a nervous breakdown.
She erratically moves between
s tances of clinica l detachment
and total physical and emotional
involvement. Each position, in
the film, is symboli zed by another character: one, a mental
patient named Marie, the other,
a fellow doctor, Tomas.
The theme of menta l colIapse
is not new fo r Bergman by any
means, but in past film s the collapse has been overshadowed
with a sense of religious loss and
a Kierkegaardian searching for
God. In FACE TO FACE, Bergman gives meaning to the cliche
that psychiatrists are the modern
era's priests, treating illnesses
that were once thought maladies
of the soul , but now described as
disorders of the mind.
In Bergman's earl ier film,
Through a Glass Darkly, a sim-
"What? With all the expertise we
have right here?"
,
Technically, the fi lm is beautiful, but not as beautiful as most
Bergman films. Oddly, this has
very strong ramifications on the
content of the film. Past Bergman films, without exception,
have been $ 0 visually stunning
that the character ' s emotional
disquiet seemed not too disturbing. In The Seventll Seal, when
the k night seeks a momentary
refuge from Death, there are two
beautiful black stallions behind
him and a perfect tranquil sky,
which makes hi s fight with
Death seem more p icturesque
than heart -rend ing.
In FACE TO FACE not every
scene is magnificently timed, or
each camera shot perfectly composed . As a result, the audience
cannot be soothed with aesthetic
indulgence. I think the film is actually stronger because of these
"flaws."
Cynical cinematic buffs may
be bored by the film. Some may
say that as Bergman's most modern film, FACE TO FACE is beyond the middle ages of The
Seventh Seal and past the enlightenment of Winter Light and
has finally arrived in the late
19th Century, and is reveling in
simple Freudian personality disintegration.
Cynical people may say a lot
of different things about the
film, but many people will be
deeply, seriously moved by it.

Consumer G'u ide to Bootleg Records
by Matt. Groening
This is the first of two articles
on bootleg records.
You someti mes come across
them in small-time record stores,
us ually in unmarked bins in
dark. dusty corners in the rear.
They don ' t look like normal a lbums - the covers are blank or
have cheap artwork, and they
of len have stra nge titles: Nocturnal Submission: Robot Love
I Pi nk Floyd). Blind Boy Grunt
I Bob D y lan). Poot Face Boogie
( Frank Zappa) , Rampant Sync hopatio (Little Feat), Spicy
Beattie Songs (The Beatles).
T hese are bootleg , o r underg round, reco rd s. They are ,
s imply. unaut horized recordings .
a lm ost a lways issued without the
approva l o f the people w ho own
the so ngs o n them. They are dif ferent from "' pirate" or "counter ieit "' reco rdings , whic h merely
d uplicate already released material. Boot legs thrive on a subc ultur e o f fanatical' co llectors
bent o n tracking down all the exiS ling material by their favorite
a rtists: the studio outtakes, the
live concerts, the interviews , the
rare pressings . These col1ectors
trade materials from around the
wo rld . conducting their business
thro ugh the mail. ove r long-dista nce phone, or by secret rendez vo us . The rea so n for this obses sio n w ith bootlegs is basically
that ce rtain artists fulfill needs
fo r crrta in peop le, and those
peop le want as much of their
idols' music as they can get their
grubby little hands on.
Bootleg records have a long
history . They have been around
since the earliest days of the record industry. Bootleg opera records from tbe beginning of the
century are still in great demand.
Frank Sinatra bootlegs appeared
in the 1940's. But it wasn't until
1969 that bootleg records rea Il y
hit the big-time.
That was the year a disgruntled
former tape librarian at Col um bia Records issued a two-record
set of unreleased Bob Dylan material called Great White Wonder. It had an unmarked white
cover and blank labels, and the
sound quality was not too hot.
But the album sold weIl (prices
varied from $6 to $20) across the
U.S. and Canada. Columbia
Records immediately went berserk a nd sent a squadron of detectives after the culprits. T hey
issued a stateme nt : "We consider
the release of this record an
ab use of the integrity of a great
artist. They are at one time defaming the artist and defrauding
his admire rs."
But an idea had been born.
Soon Wooden Nickel. a concert
recording of Crosby, StiIls, and
Nash , hit the stores. It sounded
terr ible, but sold well anyway.
The bootleggers were raided and
ta ke n to court, and it looked like
the end . But it was d iscovered
th at the copyright law (passed in
1909) had no clause under wh ich
bootleggers cou ld be prosecuted,
a nd they got off o n a loophole .
Then Rubber Dubber Records
released it s own Crosby, StiIls,
and Nash bootleg, and this time
the sound quality was exceIlent.
At lantic Records, the gro u p's
labe! , found out and publicly
cri ed " Outrage'" Secretly, however, they approached Rubber
Dubber and offered a lot of
money for the tapes . They had
been trying to get a live album
out of the group and were failing miserably .
Boot leg records began to pro-
life rate. Most of them were awful, but word of mouth helped
turn a few of the good ones into
big sellers. These included Neil
Young's Live at the L.A. Forum,
Bob Dylan ' s live at Berkely
' 1965, and the Beatles' Live at the
Hollywood Bowl. The Beatles
record was taken from a 1964
Capitol master tape originally
planned for a live album, but
never used. There are many
bootleg vers'ions of this material
in the stores today, being offered
under such diverse' titles as Shea,
The Good Old Days and Get
Your Yeah - Yeahs Out.
Bootleggers and their families
started receiving telephoned
threats to stop, "or else." Record
stores which sold bootlegs were
told they would lose their distributors. A few boot leg salesme n were shot at. But after a
few busts the record companies
gave up trying to get the bootleggers until a strict law was
passed.
Bootleggers still claim they are
no thre<\t. They point o ut that
their records sell on ly to dedicated fans who go to the concerts and buy the regular albums
anyway. Bootleggers say the
amount of records they sell is a lmost always less than the promotional records the legitimate
companies give away free to
radio stat ions and the press.
Some even think of themselves
as modern-day Robin Hoods .
"We only bootleg people who
are already milli o naires anyway, " said one .
Record companies have quieted
down about the bootleggers but
they still want to rub them ou t.
They are angry because bootleggers pay no performers' fees,
no royalties, and no advertising
costs ; moreover, they produce
only the best-seIling groups,
while legitimate companies have
to make up for poor seIlers on
which they lose money.
RoIling Stone heralded the arrival of Great White Wonder
with the headline, "BOOTLEGS:
ROCK LIBERATION FRONT?",
but soon industry pressure forced
the newspaper to quit reviewing
them. Rolling Stone even con'demned bootlegs in an editorial
in 1970, but a few years later
they discreetly began taking
bootleg record ads in their classified section. The ads, which appear regularly, often use euphemisms for " bootleg" in their
copy.
Bootleg records are now being
manufactured all over the country and in Europe. One company
lists over 400 different records in
its catalog. There is more Bob
Dy lan material availab le on
bootlegs than on his regular albums . At least 50 different
Beatles boot legs exist, but the
quality of almost all of them is
very poor. A loca l bootleg of the
recent Pau l McCartney and
Wings concert has appeared, and
new bootlegs come out every
week.
Bootleg records are notorious
for lousy sound, but good ones
do exist. The variation in quality depends on a number of factors. The first is the quality qf
the performance being recorded.
Nothing is going to make a record of George Harrison with a
hoarse voice sound good. The
second variable is the source of
the tape. Some are taken directly
from the sound board . Others
are taken from tiny cassette recorders smuggled into concerts.
And certain Beatles tapes have
been rescued from Apple garbage
cans and put on bootlegs . The

It is genera ll y accepted thai
hu nt ing fo r music a t Evergreen is
no t as difficult as findin g a meaningf ul. we tl - rounded, spiritually
pure, harm less sex ual rela tion ship . Somehow Everg reen's clien tele have consis tently co nfu sed
sex ism w it h u rges th at a re bio log ical ly expl icab le. T hose confro nt ed wit h such a problem
tend to equa te t he lack of co mmuni ca tion w ith a lack of ha r mo ni cs . A nd o n th at note I'll
move to the least co ntrove rsia l
of subjec ts - mu sic at Evergree n .
T he firs t of my night s a t Evergree n fou nd me in wha t was to
become second nature at dinner time - t he po tlu ck . I was ner vously tapp ing my g lass with a
pa ir of cho psticks. It became appa r e n t th a t a lm ost eve r yone
k nows t hat cho pst icks are better
lor you than silve rware - every une, tha t is, exce pt me and a few
othe r une n l igh te ned commune
dwe llers . ( It is not easy be ing un (, nli ghtened a t Evergreen; sim ila r in many respects to avoidin g
com peti ti ve s p o rt s in anc ie nt
times.) But back to the point.
As I was tapping on my g lass
,,,meone fro m ac ross the room

(,t o ur ma sterpiece in full m ono phon ic sp lend o r . Although not
qui te true to the sensurround effec t of the o riginal. the r eco rdin g
was apprec ia ted none the less.
For the no n-mu sica ll y - o rient ed
student there a re musica l wonJ e rs a- plenty at Evergreen. The
toy for th ose w h o love to expl o re is the ARP sy nthesizer loca ted in Lib. 1302. An Evergreen
educat io n is just not co mplete
w ith out foolin g a r o und w ith this
fo r a n h o ur or so. The spontane ity of the unexpected weird tones
c reated by the novice produces
nothing short of a musical marvel. Well ... the term "musical"
might be questioned in the case
of the uncontrolled , but as one
spends any length o f time with
the ARP it becomes apparent
that this noise machine can in deed be tamed and trained . Besides be ing an interesting experience, the ARP is good expensive fun. The next step beyond
the ARP is the Buchla , a quadro phonic wonder machine avail able to the more serious minded
stud ent s o f electronic music. The
Buchl a is a suitcase- full of plugs,
circ uit s and lights. Therefore. to
be trul y realized the Bu chla has
to be hea rd an d seen .
People who come to college
w ith some form of anticipation
in the direction of major per sonal grow th and expanded hori zo ns (ca n yo u hear the violins in
th e b ackg round? ) shou ld not
o verlook broadening and re fin ing their own musical tastes.
For those of us who were
weaned on AM radio, an idea
like listening ·to Chinese classical
opera or Balinese gong music
might send one straight back to
W o lfman Jack . But it's important
to know other kinds of music are
just as popular as Donny and
Marie, as vocal as the Beach
Boys, as rowdy as Blue Oyster
C ult, as funky as the Commodores, as meaningful as Joni
Mitchell , a nd as spiritua l as John
Co ltrane . The Evergreen library
h o uses a wonderful collection of
casse ttes co ntaining music from
a ll over the wo rld. Many are
more than excellent a nd well
wort h the small effort it takes to
c heck ou t a couple of tapes e very
no w and then - just t o turn
yourse lf o n. Cassettes are located
o n the seco:ld floor of th e Library.
The voice of Evergreen is still
KAOS-FM. Ignore the "radioOly mpia" h y pe. KAOS still has
a lo ng way to go before it will
become the co mmunity radio station of the sta te capitol a nd it's
d o ubtful that comm unity radio is
currently the goa l. so our air waves are b eing fill ed with music
- and lo ts o f it. There are many
op por tunities for Evergreeners
w ith externa l desires to be aired
o n KAO S, be they musical or
non - mu sica l. KAOS offers the
li stener a diverse exposure to
music unlike, perhaps, any radio
s tation yo u have previously enco untered. The disa9vantage of
KA OS being yo ur only radio
sta tion is the predicament shared
by those who completely im merse themselves in the Everg reen environment: A cloistered
perspective, and lo ss of contact
wit h the " real" Top-40 world. It
is too easy to become overly isolated at Evergreeil from the mains tream, even though the mains tream may be polluted. Sound
like a good theme for a song?
Such is the mu sic at Evergreen .
third factor is the quality of the
pressing. Bubbles in the grooves
produce unlistenable records,
and the cheaper vinyl most bootleggers use doesn't help. Bootleggers also often bootleg each
other, and the results are not
pleasing.
But there are gems among the
junk . Bob Dylan / The Band's
concert at Royal Albert Hall in
1966 is considered by some the
best rock 'n' roll performance
ever recorded. This performance
is available on a number of different bootlegs. Similar claims
are made for the Beatles' Five
Nights In A Judo Arena, which
is recognized by collectors as the
highest quality live Beatles re- '
cording ever made . It was recorded on July 2, 1966, in Budo
Kan HaIl in Tokyo. Other c1as- .
sic bootlegs include Joni Mitchell's (Kept On) By Her Own Devices and the RoIling Stones'
1969 recording liv'r Than You1l
Ever Be.

new film, the alIegory is only
obliquely hinted a t in churchlike settings and an ominous
stained glass window.
A ll a long Bergman has sought
C hristianity 'S comforts without
the impossib le demands of absolute faith . It is a particularly conte mporary search and in FACE
TO FACE re ligion itself is not
even considered as .a n answer.
More important, separation
from God is . not even considered
as a cause for Jenny's fear and
trembling , her "daily dread. " Instead , it is the clinical detachment from her own life and her
own sexuality that is revealed to
be the real cause of her distress.
The film also chronicles in a
horrifying manner the sense of
guilt that p lagues the Isaakson
family and which is passed on
from one generation to the next
with clockwork regularity .
A p leasantly unexpected feature of the film is the sharp wit
displayed by both the director in
his juxtaposition of events and
the characters in their dialogue.

i
Ingmar Bergman's latest film
FACE TO FACE , is the Swedish
director's most modern and least
allegorical motion picture, which
- despite apparent technical and
cinematic failings - succeeds as
a deep ly moving, jarring work of
art.
FACE TO FACE is the story
of a middle-aged woman psychiatrist, Je nny Issakson , (played
perfect ly by Liv Ullman) who is
having a nervous breakdown.
She erratically moves between
s tances of clinica l detachment
and total physical and emotional
involvement. Each position, in
the film, is symboli zed by another character: one, a mental
patient named Marie, the other,
a fellow doctor, Tomas.
The theme of menta l colIapse
is not new fo r Bergman by any
means, but in past film s the collapse has been overshadowed
with a sense of religious loss and
a Kierkegaardian searching for
God. In FACE TO FACE, Bergman gives meaning to the cliche
that psychiatrists are the modern
era's priests, treating illnesses
that were once thought maladies
of the soul , but now described as
disorders of the mind.
In Bergman's earl ier film,
Through a Glass Darkly, a sim-
"What? With all the expertise we
have right here?"
,
Technically, the fi lm is beautiful, but not as beautiful as most
Bergman films. Oddly, this has
very strong ramifications on the
content of the film. Past Bergman films, without exception,
have been $ 0 visually stunning
that the character ' s emotional
disquiet seemed not too disturbing. In The Seventll Seal, when
the k night seeks a momentary
refuge from Death, there are two
beautiful black stallions behind
him and a perfect tranquil sky,
which makes hi s fight with
Death seem more p icturesque
than heart -rend ing.
In FACE TO FACE not every
scene is magnificently timed, or
each camera shot perfectly composed . As a result, the audience
cannot be soothed with aesthetic
indulgence. I think the film is actually stronger because of these
"flaws."
Cynical cinematic buffs may
be bored by the film. Some may
say that as Bergman's most modern film, FACE TO FACE is beyond the middle ages of The
Seventh Seal and past the enlightenment of Winter Light and
has finally arrived in the late
19th Century, and is reveling in
simple Freudian personality disintegration.
Cynical people may say a lot
of different things about the
film, but many people will be
deeply, seriously moved by it.

Is the Third WorldDTF D.O.A.? (p~r%)1
by Fran Allen
l ' en t hough the weather has
h':'n goo d in the land of TESC,
e l, ' uds continue to cover the
:'\ . ,n-'v\ihi te DTF.
,--)n June 2. 1976, the Sounding
B,)a rd issued a memo tD the
Evergreen Community stating
that "T he Board heard (from
Stone T ho mas and Rudy Martin)

report .on the successes and
problems they have encountered
implementing the DTF during the
previDus year. It is nDW time fDr
these repDrts tD be requested.
The Sounding BDard would like
to remind everyone .of this DTF
and alsD request that the progress
repofts be sent to the fall
Sounding Board or its COG 1lI
replacement .
" . . . At the very least a
campus survey of the impact .of
the budget on the DTF recommendations will facilitate educatiDn and awareness -about the
DTF report and the budget and
will encourage a climate of .open
discussion rather than secret
suspiciDn ."
I would not call what I have
encountered in my investigation
"secret suspicion," but I w ill
submit that I have run head-Dn
into a brick wall. Kormondy is
in Venezuela for a month - his

sometimes and says he is willing
to talk with me, but we can't
seem to get together at the same
time in the same place. In short,
nobody wants to talk about it.
Everyone is so busy doing other
things that I am wonder ing
about this inqui ry ever being
satisfactorily completed . It makes
me look foolish. Maybe I am
foolish for trying to find SDme
answers.

Perhaps the reason. ·thtf's'e'
