All the convenience of living on
campus without living on campus

Evans Meets Us
Living on campus is great: You're close to the action and school is just
a short walk away. However, we think you'll find that living at ASH is
even better. School is still just a couple of minutes away but the atmosphere here is anything but school. It feels like home. At ASH, the humdrum routine fades away as you relax in comfortable surroundings. In
fact, once you move in, you may never want to live anywhere else in
Olympia. It's that nice. And, there's enough room for you to have a small
gather ing of friends in your apartment. So come make your home at
ASH. It's the convenient place to live.

College president-select Dan Evans met
with students in a question and answer
session for an hour and a half during yesterday afternoon, January 19, in the library lobby.
For both the students and Evans the
meeting was the first real chance they had
to size each other up. The questions and
answers were largely repeats of the questions asked in an interview with the
COOPER POINT JOURNAL and KAOSFM on Friday, January 14 (see page 6),
but the mood was different.
Evans no doubt learned that Evergreen
students are often hostile towards the
school administration, and not overly respectful of traditional social status. In the
first question Evans was informed that the
president of Franconia college had a method of keeping in touch with students: he
works once a week in the school cafeteria.
Would Evans, the student wondered, be
willing to do the same? Evans was humorous and noncommittal in his reply.
A large number of questions concerned
the governance system at Evergreen. Two
complaints were heard: students don't
have deCision-making power; and students that are involved in Governance
don't represent the students which aren't
involved.
EVANS
For students trying to draw an impression of the future president a few things
became clear:
- Evans is a ' clear and intelligent
speaker.
- Evans has no answers to student
governance or curriculum.
- Evans draws often on his experience
as governor as a model to give depth to
his understanding of college problems.
Evans also tended to view problems in
terms of two conflicting needs: that curriculum must be flexible e~ough to keep
Evergreen an "alternative," as opposed to
the idea that curriculum must be standardized enough to allow students security
in planning their college goals . He also
mentioned the conflict between Evergreen
as an "alternative school" for the whole
state and as a local school for southwestern Washington. But he affirmed, " If Evergreen becomes very much like the other
institu tions of education then there would
be little reason to continue its existence . . "
COLLECTIVE BARGAINING
In response to a question about faculty
collective bargaining, Evans stated, "I
would hope we would be able to work on
a higher level than just collective bargaining . . . The strength of .collective bargain-
ing is the ability to finally strike. . if
collective bargaining takes you to a strike
then there has to be the po'tential for pen alties. Here at Evergreen, I would hope
we're better and smarter than that and
could find some system that isn 't as gross
as collective bargaining ."
In response to a question about a proposed addition to the Social Contract forbidding discrimination because of "sexual
orientation, " Evans stated that although
he opposed discrimination against homo sexuals, he did not want to "add to the
laundry lis t delineatin g which groups cannot be discriminated against." In stead . he
suggested that the Social Contracts a 1ready forbids such discrimin a ti on in o th er
clauses.
Evans also fie lded questio ns about Native American demands. the presidential
search committee , the Board of Trus tees.
and President Charles McCann 's paid
sa bbatical.
He concluded by hoping that he and
students could gather again to discuss college issues in the future .

Oil-Black Tuxes and Slick GOV\Tns
by Brad Pokorny
Society Editor
Editor's note: COOPER POINT JOURNAL Society Editor Brad Pokorny attended the gala Inaugural Ball in Lacey on
Wednesday, January 12. Pokorny returned
with the follOwing report.
Men in oil-black tuxedos and barebacked women in slick strapless gowns
crowded around the ten-foot-high wooden
model of the Capitol dome. The newlyelected governor leaned against the white
enameled mock-up and penned out autographs. She laughed and listened and
made asides to her escort, David Jenkins,
an old Atomic Energy Commission aide.
She fielded the swarm like a queen bee.
This was inaugural balling. We'd arrived late, missing the pageant of flags
and the other military operations staged
by the Army . It was a champagne toast,
and 2,300 persons stood around in the
Capital Pavilion in Lacey, holding high
gold-plated plastic champagne glasses, the
kind with the stems that come apart for
easy storage.
Nothing is really formal any more.
Sure, there were a lot of J:\eat-fitting rental
jobs with tasteful red roses pinned to satin
lapels, and cummerbunds, even, but there
were some slobs too. Guys in jeans and
gravy-stained corduroy jackets, with
square-bottomed knit ties dangling over
dark moire button-down sports shirts.
Many of the younger women came in high
school prom retreads. You can get by
with anything these days. Dixy Lee Ray
wore an emerald green synthetic potato
sack. It had embroidery on the wide collars, and the design slyly streamlined her
potbelly so that it was hardly noticeable.
Only the Army officers from Fort Lewis
looked really sharp. Decked out in spiffy
waistcoats with gold braid epaulets, they
sported proud chests plastered with shiny
Christmas. decorations.
Nobody knows how to dance any more
either. Or maybe everyone was just
smashed. People tried, though . Dowdy
state workers, trying to dance out their
money's worth on the $3S-a-pair tickets,
did things that looked vaguely like the
twist, to the orchestra's version of Tuxedo
Juhction. Couples flopped around on the
ersatz dance floor like hydrocarbonsoaked seagulls, trying to hold drinks in
their hands at the same time . Plastic Collins glasses smashed into splintery pieces
if you waltzed into some clumsy oaf.
Only the older couples really knew
what they were doing. With wispy grey
hair, they graced the dance floor as little
oases of Arthur Murray confidence, blissfully lost in reminiscence of an ancient
veterans' ball .
But what can you expect from an Inaugural held in a basketball gymnasium 7
The Capital Pavilion is the Saint Martin's
College sports arena. They tried to hide
the place by hanging spruce boughs from
the backboards and lining left-Clver yule
trees along the cold cement walls. Something like the fig-leaf effect - you pray
there isn't a strong wind. A few touches
showed some foresight. Someone sprinkled
dance wax on the court, covering the free
throw lines and all, ready to lubricate the
flashing feet of the ball-gaers.
Max Pillar and his Orchestra listlessly
whacked out all the old favorites . In a
blue show tux, Max played Lawrence
Welk, announcing the tunes into a micro-
.phone on a stand which he fondled nicely.
The band played competently. but the female singer, who looked 40 with a facelift, tried to harmonize with her own pen tatonic versions of the songs.
The real high point of the evening was
when Max came on with a cha-cha . Dixy
had already left, waltzing across the floor
to a sneaky back-door exit. Her aides had
clustered tightly around her, whisking her
away to a night of mystery . . But by
the time the band broke into its cheap
Latin beat, the plastic glasses were piled
high on the crepe-draped corners of the
bandstand, and the Olympians were feel ing rowdy enough to line up in a hipclutching centipede, and cha-cha-cha their
way across the dance floor .
We left after that , speeding back to our
cloister in the woods. Another excursion
into the bizarre Olympia social scene, and
we'd come back alive. God, only four
more years until the next inaugural.
All I wanna know is : Was it always
like this, or were there really huge gala
ballrooms with plaster cherubs on the ceiling?

To the Editor:
Re: adverse criticism of the
Meg Christian / Teresa Trull concert.
It was not the goal of the concert to bring women and men together. It was to applaud women
culture, women spirit - to rejoice love, not hate. As we grow
to know ourselves, we have' more
to share. But first we have to
have it.
The lack of pre-concert publicity of "women preferred" was
unfortunate and misleading. But
that reverse chauvinism is not
constructive may not be quite
true . Perhaps it jolted some people to experience what it all too
often has meant to be a woman
and to be shut down for that
reason. However, I want to emphasize that such was not the
goal of the concert - that a
bunch of women didn't get excited abQut having a concert just
to exclude men, but rather to
embrace women. It was a ~
cert for women, not against men'.

Trustees
Violate
Policies
To the Editor:
During the past few weeks, the
Boa'rd of Trustees has made decis ions that threaten its serving
as a model for the rest of the col lege community. Not only did
Board members refuse to utilize
the procedures outlined in the
Affirmative Action document,
they also violated the role outlin ed for them in the Professional
Leaves Policy . These two documents were formally reviewed
and approved by the Board of
Trustees, based, o ne can assume ,
on the belief that the documents
were to be honored by everyone,
in cluding Board members, in
co nducting college business. In
the case of Dan Evans' appointme nt , the Presidential Search
Co mmittee accentuated the issue
not only by mistreating the spirit
of the Affirmative Action document but also by taking only a
few hours to come to a monumental decision that could impact
the college For several student
generations.
Did the Board members check
the Professional Leaves Policy
before granting a two-year leave
to President McCann? If they
did , they consciously violated it.
Whether the Board's decision was
intentional or not, President McCann's professional leave represents at least two direct violations of existing policy :
1) Professional leave for the
president must be recommended by the ProfeSsional Leaves Committee
to the Board of Trustees
(EAC 174-112-800 (3) (a) .
The Professional Leaves
Committee was never involved.
2) A maximum of one year's
leave can be granted.
(EAC 174-1U-790 (1) (c) .
The president was granted
one year at full pay and a
second year at half pay.
This decision should be rescinded. The president should be
requested to forward his proposal
to the Professional Leaves Committee for review .
You may ask, "Why be so upset?" I've had painful conversations with several hard working
staff members who are dedicated
to Evergreen and hesitant to apply for professional leave because tight budgets will force
some overtaxed colleague to assume their responsibilities. Too
often I've heard, "It's not fair for
someone to add my work to their
pile ." "I need the break, but
there is no way the budget can
pay for my leave and cover the
cost of my replacement. " Aft".
exhaustive soul searching, the
staff person who does follow
through is required to prepare a
proposal and adhere to the pro cedures outlined in the policy . In
this context, I'm angry when the
Board snubs the policy and hands
the president a professional leave.
It 's not a question of whether or
not the president deserves the
leave (I think he does) or, for
that matter, that Dan Evans is or
is not a good choice (I think he's
been an outstanding governor).
It is a question of integrity and
of stretching and bending policies
beyond an acceptable level.
What's even worse is that this
mistreatment of current policies
has been met with silence or joy
by the vast majority of the campus community. Is the place ignoring this questionable use of
power? Where are all the people
who were so vocal in the John
Moss case? Does the end really
justify the means?
There is one other matter that
deserves attention. The Board's
hiring Dan Evans as a consultant
does not violate existing polici.es
but does represent a deviation
from current practice. When a
staff member leaves Evergreen or
moves on to another position
within the college, we are forced
to scramble to find funds for just
a few days of employee overlap.
Many times (once Is too often),
there's no money available to
cover the overlap, so the new
person and remaining workers
suffer through an undesirable
period of transition. In the face
. of these conditions, what does
the Board do? They hire Dan
Evans as an off campus consultant for a five month period. This
action is a dramatic contrast to
options that we have been able
to exercise below the presidential
level. I'm not advocating equal
privileges for all employees that is an unrealistic objective. A
hierarchical structure is necessary
to our functioning as a public institution. What I object to is
widening the gap of privileges
between the presidential level
and the rest of the college. Could
it be that the Board of Trustees
has forgotten that folks in the
trenches keep the college running?
The recent actions of the Board .
of Trustees and the Presidential
Search Committee could eventually drive a deeper wedge between top administrators and the
faculty and staff who share some
of the observations expressed in
this letter . And clearly, the Board
widened the gap between it and
the student body by failing to
respond to student representatives at the most recent Board of
Trustees' meeting. The Board
members' actions also provide
ample excuse for college decisionmakers to abuse existing policies
or at least bend them to their
own liking. As a result, the Board
will be in a weak position to censure those of us who do. What is
it that the Board wants us to
understand or emulate in their
making these decisions? Do they
view their position as being exempt from supporting college
policies they adopt? We deserve
answers to these questions.

Rape
To the Editor :
Last Sunday night a rape was
committed against a woman on
Overhulse Road. Shortly after-
wards, the women in the surrounding neighborhood gathered
together and proceeded to the
ASH apartments and the dorms
warning and informing women
in the campus housing about the
rape. This group of women proceeded on to the taverns in the
Olympia area and Eve;rgreen villages to alert the town of the
crime and leave a description of
the criminal. The women realized
that even if they did not find any
suspects, they were making the
community aware of the fact that
they were tired of waiting for the
police to take action, and were
appalled that another rape had
occurred. They were compelled
to take the matter into their own
hands.
The Women's Center is working in conjunction with these
women to try to get the following necessities:
1) We want housing to open
up rooms for women who are
stuck at school without rides
home.
2) We would like to have more
evening bus runs and a bus that
will go down 17th Street by the
Organic Farmhouse.
3) We are trying to set up an
information table in the CAB
building about Rape Awareness.
4) Distribution of a list of suspicious vehicles and persons exhibiting suspicious behavior.
S) We would also like to talk
to the police aboul having more
sheriffs patrolling around the college area.
6) We would like to gather
and publish statistics informing
the college and community of the
following things:
A) The number of rapes and
attempted rapes that have occurred in this area.
B) The number of suspects apprehended.
C) The number of convictions.
We are also setting up networks in the Overhulse and the
Westside areas making residents
concerned and aware of the potential dangers that women face
in their neighborhoods - enabling them to aid in the elimination of possibly dangerous situations. These include peop,le pools,
emergency protection squads,
and an immediate phone notification system.
These are some of the basic
steps we are taking. We are tired
of action flaring up after II rape,
and then slowly dying down. We
refuse to believe, as we have
been told, that "everything is going to be all right." It hasn't been
all right and we are not satisfied
with the procedure the police use
to handle the rape problem in
the Olympia area. We must be
strong enough to eliminate the
rape potential in our neighborhoods and restore' that peace of
mind that is continually ripped
off From women.
At noon every Thursday there
will be Rape Prevention meetings
in the Women's Center, and your
support is necessary in making
this program work and last .

Rape
To the Editor:
I have recently been involved
in handling the procedures and
the victimization that are the results of a rape case in Thurston
County. This aggressive and violent crime is a sad and oppressive
part of our lives, and as this
county has one of the highest in cidences of rape per capita in the
state, it needs to be owned as a
community problem. However,
in working as an advocate with
this intolerable experience I
would like to extend a thank you
to those citizens and public officials with whom we have come
in contact. The family who
helped with the call, the Emergency Room personnel at St.
Peter, and especially the Thurston County deputy sheriffs and
detectives - all responded efficiently with care, concern and
sensitivity which is difficult to do
in a situation such as this. We
are fortunate in this area to have
these resources available as we

To the Editor:
As women and men of the Evergreen Political Information
Center, we support the decision
of the Women's Center to hold
an alI-WOOlen's concert.
It is important for women as
well as other oppressed racial
and sexual groups to have time
to themselves to enjoy their own
particular culture and formulate
their own sense of strength and
unity. If we are serious about
combating racism and sexism
then we must support these
groups when they make decisions
for themselves to fight these oppressions. And we must not further oppress these groups by ex-

pecting them to justify their actions to us. If we are so con cerned about the lack of events
here at Evergreen which bring
men and women together to examine feminism and lesbianism,
then we should create more concerts and discussion ' groups, and
not rely on the Women's Center
to do this for us. If as men we
are so concerned about supporting feminism then we should be
examining this issue at the Men's
Center and not demanding attention from women at a time they
have set aside for themselves.
A constant complaint about
the women's concert is that it
was an example of reverse discrimination. This focuses all the
attention on an insignificant neg·
ative effect : asking men not to
come this time, and it ignores the
positive effeC-ls: a roomful of
women getting together to enjoy
their own music and each other ;
women developing the strength
to break out of their roles by
making decisions and carrying
them through on their own .
We also feel that the controversy which has arisen over this
issue has had positive effects on
the women and men in this community. It has forced us to examine and challenge our own
roles and attitlld~s.

Editorial
Som.ething
Suspicious at S and A
Students at Evergreen are very concerned about gover nance. From the questions put to Dan Evans at a lunch-time
meeting on Wednesday , January 19, it was clear that many
students are angry and frustrated by Evergreen's peculiar
system of governance.
There is no student government, per se, at Evergreen. In stead, there is the Student Forum - more a series of meetings than a group of people, which discusses campus issues.
There are also the numerous Disappearing Task Forces,
(DTFs) which , like the Presidential Selection Committee,
have student representatives.
But a third element of student governance exists : the
Services and Activities Fees (S&A) Review Board. Aside
from the tiresome discussions of students' rights and priorities, the S&A Board (which is 7S % students) does the job
of most elected student governments: they allocate student
funds: approximately $360,000 each year. This is nearly
three times more per student than most elected student governments have to allocate, according to a recent statewide
study.
So, while on one hand students are clamoring for a vo ice,
they already have something which may be more important :
they have their hands on some important purse-strings.
Now a new DTF is being charged by Administrative Vice
President Dean Clabaugh to review the S&A funding process. Clabaugh has long been a foe of st udent control of S&A
funds.
In calling together the DTF he has broken From the nor mal rules of random selection and will name the DTF mem bers personally. By calling together this DTF Clabaugh ma y
well intend to change S&A guidelines to give the business
office more control of the money.
Whatever the reasons for this DTF , students should watch
it closely . While it seems Frustrating to have no "voice" no official representative - we wager it will be much more
agonizing if students find they win a voice, and lose their
funds.

There were a number of men

the sponsors and many attending
women simply wanted an evening to be high with women, I
got several responses of "1 disagree with that." No one asked
for agreement on anything only respect. Other responses
were "I don't see why that's necessary," and ''I'm not sexist.
What difference will it make if I

all the clearer to me why the
sponsors prOVided an opportunity for women to come together
without men (even those who are

To the Editor:
Re: adverse criticism of the
Meg Christian / Teresa Trull concert.
It was not the goal of the concert to bring women and men together. It was to applaud women
culture, women spirit - to rejoice love, not hate. As we grow
to know ourselves, we have' more
to share. But first we have to
have it.
The lack of pre-concert publicity of "women preferred" was
unfortunate and misleading. But
that reverse chauvinism is not
constructive may not be quite
true . Perhaps it jolted some people to experience what it all too
often has meant to be a woman
and to be shut down for that
reason. However, I want to emphasize that such was not the
goal of the concert - that a
bunch of women didn't get excited abQut having a concert just
to exclude men, but rather to
embrace women. It was a ~
cert for women, not against men'.

Trustees
Violate
Policies
To the Editor:
During the past few weeks, the
Boa'rd of Trustees has made decis ions that threaten its serving
as a model for the rest of the col lege community. Not only did
Board members refuse to utilize
the procedures outlined in the
Affirmative Action document,
they also violated the role outlin ed for them in the Professional
Leaves Policy . These two documents were formally reviewed
and approved by the Board of
Trustees, based, o ne can assume ,
on the belief that the documents
were to be honored by everyone,
in cluding Board members, in
co nducting college business. In
the case of Dan Evans' appointme nt , the Presidential Search
Co mmittee accentuated the issue
not only by mistreating the spirit
of the Affirmative Action document but also by taking only a
few hours to come to a monumental decision that could impact
the college For several student
generations.
Did the Board members check
the Professional Leaves Policy
before granting a two-year leave
to President McCann? If they
did , they consciously violated it.
Whether the Board's decision was
intentional or not, President McCann's professional leave represents at least two direct violations of existing policy :
1) Professional leave for the
president must be recommended by the ProfeSsional Leaves Committee
to the Board of Trustees
(EAC 174-112-800 (3) (a) .
The Professional Leaves
Committee was never involved.
2) A maximum of one year's
leave can be granted.
(EAC 174-1U-790 (1) (c) .
The president was granted
one year at full pay and a
second year at half pay.
This decision should be rescinded. The president should be
requested to forward his proposal
to the Professional Leaves Committee for review .
You may ask, "Why be so upset?" I've had painful conversations with several hard working
staff members who are dedicated
to Evergreen and hesitant to apply for professional leave because tight budgets will force
some overtaxed colleague to assume their responsibilities. Too
often I've heard, "It's not fair for
someone to add my work to their
pile ." "I need the break, but
there is no way the budget can
pay for my leave and cover the
cost of my replacement. " Aft".
exhaustive soul searching, the
staff person who does follow
through is required to prepare a
proposal and adhere to the pro cedures outlined in the policy . In
this context, I'm angry when the
Board snubs the policy and hands
the president a professional leave.
It 's not a question of whether or
not the president deserves the
leave (I think he does) or, for
that matter, that Dan Evans is or
is not a good choice (I think he's
been an outstanding governor).
It is a question of integrity and
of stretching and bending policies
beyond an acceptable level.
What's even worse is that this
mistreatment of current policies
has been met with silence or joy
by the vast majority of the campus community. Is the place ignoring this questionable use of
power? Where are all the people
who were so vocal in the John
Moss case? Does the end really
justify the means?
There is one other matter that
deserves attention. The Board's
hiring Dan Evans as a consultant
does not violate existing polici.es
but does represent a deviation
from current practice. When a
staff member leaves Evergreen or
moves on to another position
within the college, we are forced
to scramble to find funds for just
a few days of employee overlap.
Many times (once Is too often),
there's no money available to
cover the overlap, so the new
person and remaining workers
suffer through an undesirable
period of transition. In the face
. of these conditions, what does
the Board do? They hire Dan
Evans as an off campus consultant for a five month period. This
action is a dramatic contrast to
options that we have been able
to exercise below the presidential
level. I'm not advocating equal
privileges for all employees that is an unrealistic objective. A
hierarchical structure is necessary
to our functioning as a public institution. What I object to is
widening the gap of privileges
between the presidential level
and the rest of the college. Could
it be that the Board of Trustees
has forgotten that folks in the
trenches keep the college running?
The recent actions of the Board .
of Trustees and the Presidential
Search Committee could eventually drive a deeper wedge between top administrators and the
faculty and staff who share some
of the observations expressed in
this letter . And clearly, the Board
widened the gap between it and
the student body by failing to
respond to student representatives at the most recent Board of
Trustees' meeting. The Board
members' actions also provide
ample excuse for college decisionmakers to abuse existing policies
or at least bend them to their
own liking. As a result, the Board
will be in a weak position to censure those of us who do. What is
it that the Board wants us to
understand or emulate in their
making these decisions? Do they
view their position as being exempt from supporting college
policies they adopt? We deserve
answers to these questions.

Rape
To the Editor :
Last Sunday night a rape was
committed against a woman on
Overhulse Road. Shortly after-
wards, the women in the surrounding neighborhood gathered
together and proceeded to the
ASH apartments and the dorms
warning and informing women
in the campus housing about the
rape. This group of women proceeded on to the taverns in the
Olympia area and Eve;rgreen villages to alert the town of the
crime and leave a description of
the criminal. The women realized
that even if they did not find any
suspects, they were making the
community aware of the fact that
they were tired of waiting for the
police to take action, and were
appalled that another rape had
occurred. They were compelled
to take the matter into their own
hands.
The Women's Center is working in conjunction with these
women to try to get the following necessities:
1) We want housing to open
up rooms for women who are
stuck at school without rides
home.
2) We would like to have more
evening bus runs and a bus that
will go down 17th Street by the
Organic Farmhouse.
3) We are trying to set up an
information table in the CAB
building about Rape Awareness.
4) Distribution of a list of suspicious vehicles and persons exhibiting suspicious behavior.
S) We would also like to talk
to the police aboul having more
sheriffs patrolling around the college area.
6) We would like to gather
and publish statistics informing
the college and community of the
following things:
A) The number of rapes and
attempted rapes that have occurred in this area.
B) The number of suspects apprehended.
C) The number of convictions.
We are also setting up networks in the Overhulse and the
Westside areas making residents
concerned and aware of the potential dangers that women face
in their neighborhoods - enabling them to aid in the elimination of possibly dangerous situations. These include peop,le pools,
emergency protection squads,
and an immediate phone notification system.
These are some of the basic
steps we are taking. We are tired
of action flaring up after II rape,
and then slowly dying down. We
refuse to believe, as we have
been told, that "everything is going to be all right." It hasn't been
all right and we are not satisfied
with the procedure the police use
to handle the rape problem in
the Olympia area. We must be
strong enough to eliminate the
rape potential in our neighborhoods and restore' that peace of
mind that is continually ripped
off From women.
At noon every Thursday there
will be Rape Prevention meetings
in the Women's Center, and your
support is necessary in making
this program work and last .

To the Editor:
I have recently been involved
in handling the procedures and
the victimization that are the results of a rape case in Thurston
County. This aggressive and violent crime is a sad and oppressive
part of our lives, and as this
county has one of the highest in cidences of rape per capita in the
state, it needs to be owned as a
community problem. However,
in working as an advocate with
this intolerable experience I
would like to extend a thank you
to those citizens and public officials with whom we have come
in contact. The family who
helped with the call, the Emergency Room personnel at St.
Peter, and especially the Thurston County deputy sheriffs and
detectives - all responded efficiently with care, concern and
sensitivity which is difficult to do
in a situation such as this. We
are fortunate in this area to have
these resources available as we

To the Editor:
As women and men of the Evergreen Political Information
Center, we support the decision
of the Women's Center to hold
an alI-WOOlen's concert.
It is important for women as
well as other oppressed racial
and sexual groups to have time
to themselves to enjoy their own
particular culture and formulate
their own sense of strength and
unity. If we are serious about
combating racism and sexism
then we must support these
groups when they make decisions
for themselves to fight these oppressions. And we must not further oppress these groups by ex-

pecting them to justify their actions to us. If we are so con cerned about the lack of events
here at Evergreen which bring
men and women together to examine feminism and lesbianism,
then we should create more concerts and discussion ' groups, and
not rely on the Women's Center
to do this for us. If as men we
are so concerned about supporting feminism then we should be
examining this issue at the Men's
Center and not demanding attention from women at a time they
have set aside for themselves.
A constant complaint about
the women's concert is that it
was an example of reverse discrimination. This focuses all the
attention on an insignificant neg·
ative effect : asking men not to
come this time, and it ignores the
positive effeC-ls: a roomful of
women getting together to enjoy
their own music and each other ;
women developing the strength
to break out of their roles by
making decisions and carrying
them through on their own .
We also feel that the controversy which has arisen over this
issue has had positive effects on
the women and men in this community. It has forced us to examine and challenge our own
roles and attitlld~s.

Editorial
Som.ething
Suspicious at S and A
Students at Evergreen are very concerned about gover nance. From the questions put to Dan Evans at a lunch-time
meeting on Wednesday , January 19, it was clear that many
students are angry and frustrated by Evergreen's peculiar
system of governance.
There is no student government, per se, at Evergreen. In stead, there is the Student Forum - more a series of meetings than a group of people, which discusses campus issues.
There are also the numerous Disappearing Task Forces,
(DTFs) which , like the Presidential Selection Committee,
have student representatives.
But a third element of student governance exists : the
Services and Activities Fees (S&A) Review Board. Aside
from the tiresome discussions of students' rights and priorities, the S&A Board (which is 7S % students) does the job
of most elected student governments: they allocate student
funds: approximately $360,000 each year. This is nearly
three times more per student than most elected student governments have to allocate, according to a recent statewide
study.
So, while on one hand students are clamoring for a vo ice,
they already have something which may be more important :
they have their hands on some important purse-strings.
Now a new DTF is being charged by Administrative Vice
President Dean Clabaugh to review the S&A funding process. Clabaugh has long been a foe of st udent control of S&A
funds.
In calling together the DTF he has broken From the nor mal rules of random selection and will name the DTF mem bers personally. By calling together this DTF Clabaugh ma y
well intend to change S&A guidelines to give the business
office more control of the money.
Whatever the reasons for this DTF , students should watch
it closely . While it seems Frustrating to have no "voice" no official representative - we wager it will be much more
agonizing if students find they win a voice, and lose their
funds.

More Salaries: Staff
This is the second of a series of articles detailing salaries of employees of The
Evergreen State CoUege. Articles in preparation will detail the salaries of ail student employees and the finances of Evergreen's Board of Trustees.
The COOPER POINT JOURNAL is publishing these articles as a community
service. We hope that through printing the salaries of everyone who works for
the school, inequities in pay, if any, will have a greater chance of being corrected.
It is not our intent to embarrass anyone.
Staff salaries fall under a "classified" rating. Their pay is .regulated by the
Higher Penonnel Board, which lists positions and rank, such as "Custodian II,"
and detennines a specific salary range for that position. In addition, there are
steps In each pay range, which increase annually by two steps after an initial
two-step Increase six months after a person is hired. For example, an Accounting
Assistant n Is assigned a salary range of 35. At step A s/he gets $647 a month.
Six months after beginning, s/he moves to step Cat $680 a month. After a year,
s/he goes to step E at 5713 a month; and so on, up to level "K". Fractions after
the position titles indicate part-time work.

Early SeIIlester
Proposed
By fall of 1978 Evergreen could
be using semesters. Registrar
Walker Allen has written a proposal to change the school's calendar from the present system of
four ten-week quarters to a plan
using "early" semesters. Early
semesters differ from traditional
semesters in that the first semester starts in late August and ends
just before Christmas, and the
second semester runs from the
second week of January until
mid-May.
"If you have more time, you
have more opportunity to learn,"
explained Allen. "Starting and
stopping each quarter loses time,
and with a semester system you
only start and stop two times a
year instead of three."
Allen felt out the idea this fall
with a one-page "proposal for
discussion" which he took to the
deans and directors . "The comments were all very positive," he
said. Now he has authored a
longer proposal. which will be
discussed at the next Sounding
Board meeting in February.
PRO AND CON
Some of the advantages of
early semesters would be:
- They contain proportionately more time for students to
read, study, write, and discuss.
- They reduce the number of
faculty tasks related to term endings, such as evaluation, advising, and registration, thus freeing
this time for instruction.
- They would provide more
time , for program I contract development, for in-depth study,
and for evaluation of students.
- They would reduce registration, fee billing and evaluation
tasks by one-third, providing
some financial savings.
Political interest at Evergreen
seems to fall into two categories:
Radical left or Unconcerned . Unfortunately, the daily activities of
the legislature fall into the bland,
middle of the road reality of
state politics . The legislature,
which just began its 45th session
last week, is not inherently interesting, but then, it wasn't designed to be. Regardless of how
dull or unentertaining the process
is, the results are oft~n important.
For example, it has been suggested that state college and university tuitions be increased to
$205. It will be a while before
the legislature takes any action
on the proposal, but they will be
looking at it.
If you work for a living, there
might be some bad news in store.
Thurston County Superior Court
Judge Doran ruled last Friday
that the State is responsible for
full funding of public schools, so
now most legislators think that a
State personal income tax is
likely, if not inevitably, to be
passed in this session or the next.
If you don't happen to be
working for a living right now,
and draw unemployment insle.d,
then you 'might be interestea in
knowing that Unemployment
Compensation (UC) eligibility
guidelines are probably going to
be overhauled this session. The
Association of Washington Business, which is essentially a lobbying organization, would like to
see the legislature do something
about the Increasing cost of providing UC to people employed
by A WB members.
Oh How Liberated I Am,
Listening to Women's
Music
FORUM is a column of commentary on issues of possible interest to the Evergreen community. The column is open to any individual or group on campus. The opinions expressed in FORUM
are solely the author'S, and do not necessarily reflect the opinions
of the college or the staff of the COOPER POINT JOURNAL .
Address all correspondence to FORUM, the COOPER POINT
JOURNAL, CAB 306.
by Thorn Thacker
The proposal also lists some
disadvantages:
- They provide fewer opportunities for changing programs or
contracts.
- They might cause late registration for some students and l
or interfere with summer vacations by starting near Labor Day .
- They interfere with some
seasonal summer jobs.
- The summer of the changeover would be short, about
eleven weeks long.
The proposal quotes a number
of favorable comments about
early semesters by people in
other colleges around the country, and cites a national survey
showing that out of 2,722 institutions questioned, 308 use tradi ~
tional semesters, 653 use quarters, and 1,170 institutions use
early semesters (591 institutions
use other assorted calendars).
Allen says he is primarily interested in changing for the academic benefits . "What I'm hearing from faculty, students, and
staff is, 'It sounds good, let's
support it. ,,'
Allen admits that the idea is
not one that will get everyone
very excited. " It will take substantial support for it to be
changed :" He says if there is a
favorable response from the
Sounding Board, he'll take it to
the vice-presidents. From there it
would go to the President and
on to the Board of Trustees. "The
legislature would have to ultimately approve it, because our
fees are tied to the quarter system by law."
If you have something to say
about early semesters, the Sounding Board will meet to discuss
the subject February 2nd at 8: 30
a .m. in CAB 108.
Your Capitol Guide

FORUM
There will be some effort made
to change the state's restrictions
on the size of oil tankers permitted to traverse Puget Sound.
The current law does not allow
any tanker of more than 125,000
deadweight tons. ARCa, for one,
would like to see this restriction
changed
to
approximately
130,000 deadweight tons. The
curren t restriction allows only
roughly half of ARCO's tanker
fleet access to their refinery at
Cherry Point. Permitting the
larger (130,000 ton) ships into
the sound would let ARCa send
most of its fleet to the refinery.
WATCHING
THE LEGISLATURE
Here are a few suggestions :
The Bill room. Here you will find
mountains of literature and documents covering everything
you've ever wanted to know about the legislature. Printed
copies of every piece of legislation introduced in either house
are available.
lLike the U.S. Congress, the
Washington ·Iegislature has a
House of Representatives and a
Senate. Unlike Congress, the legislature need only meet every
two years (a biennium). Also, the
Senators and Representatives in
Olympia are only part-time: almost all have other jobs or businesses. Former Governor Evans
advocated a full-time legislature,
and often called the legislators
back into "special session."}
U you don't know the number
of the bill you want to see, then
ask for the latest "Legislative Digest" supplement. This is a list of
bills which have been introduced
to date, listed by number, ahort
title, and a brief explanation of
what that bill purports to do.
Failing that, the bill room has a
fairly large staff of people who
are paid to pass out information
and answer your questions. Once
you know which piece of legislation you want to follow you
should check the bill room's Daily Status Sheet, stating which
committee the bill is in . The bill
room also has a daily agenda of
committee meetings (generally
open to the public), that tells
when and where a particular
committee will be meeting. You
might also want to look at the
daily House and Senate session
agendas, which tell what bills (if
any) will be acted on that day .
The bill room is located on the
ground floor, southeast corner,
of the legislative building (the
one with the dome).
The Galleries: Both houses of
the legislature have public galleries, which are located on the
fourth floor of the legisla tive
building. The galleries are analogous to bleachers at a basketball
game. From here you can sit in
relative comfort and watch debates among the legislators during theiI daily sessions. Both
houses convene at noon each
weekday.
The Legislative Hotline. If going downtown every day is more
trouble than it seems worth, then
you can call from the privacy of
your own home. The Hotline
number is 1-800-562-6000. Call
this number to find out what is
being done with a particular bill,
or to leave message with your
district's legislators.
I'm writing for FORUM in response to the current discussion about the women's concert. I agree with the Women's Center I musicians' stance on the issue. I really can't see any reasons to under mine an event that means strength and warmth to a group of
people - women in this case. I feel like a lot of men reacted as if
they were jealous, excluded from an enjoyable eve nt in life . " How
can there be something good goi ng on that I can't go to 7 So just
to make sure that this god-forsaken situation doesn 't arise, I will
enter the concert. While at the concert I will seethe with anger an d
contempt. I will also exude joy because I have won , intruded . and
generally made people uncomfortable and unhapp y. Oh , how
liberated I am, listening to women's music. " Excuse me for the
brief aside, but I think it does illustrate a point.
I think the women who wrote in last week confused two separate issues. The first of these was the la ck of advertising to advise people of the concert's nature. The producers apologized for
this mistake . Whereas I realize that this caused a good deal of in convenience, I think most of the reaction stems from the second
issue. It was the question as to whether or not women should be
able to get together by themselves . Many people think not and
spout some typical Evergreen "communit y of human kind " line .
There's no equality, "even at Evergreen ." What a revelation! And
in a sense, ~quality is not the issue . The issue is that a group of
peeople want to spend time together. Perhaps to bolster spirits,
but not to assert power in its traditional sense.
I can't speak as to whether or not women at the concert wanted
to be with other women exclusively. The point is that it is for the
women to decide among themselves if they want an all-women's
event. This is not our territory to make decisions , or even stir up
some emotional sentiments. Women can decide if this tactic furthers their cause, as well as furthering the cause of peoplekind in
the long run .
Now to speak to two of the ideas that were presented in one of
the letters . One is the myth of reverse chauvinism . Chauvinism
connotes assertion of power by one group over another in a systematic manner. In other words, men aren't chauvinistic because
they are men, it is because they oppress women . Therefore it fo llows that women, as women, cannot be chauvinistic. Take a
glance at the barriers that block the equalization of the sexes, let
alone a situation where women would perpetrate an oppressive
atmosphere.
Another myth is that of men being oppressed by their sexual I
social roles. This is a fallacy, because men are not oppressed just
because they are men. Faggots, various Third World groups,
workers,. and sOIite individuals are oppressed, but not due to the
fact that they are men. They are oppressed because they deviate
from the norm . This is an important distinction to make. Women
as a group are oppressed by men . Men suffer, but are not oppressed by the social roles that they themselves have created and
upheld . Make sense?
May I take license to continue, and maybe moralize while I'm at
it? We men must start/continue to listen to and respect women.
We have to start dealing/keep struggling with the patriarchal aspects of our personalities. We have one another to do this with if
women are feeling drained of energy, and even if they 're not.
These are our problems as men , and problems that we should deal
with. However, these problems shou ld be seen in a larger societal
context. So while you're changing, give good thought to changing
the ·system that creates and inculcates these values into us as individuals I groups.
It is important to look at our reactions in terms of the personal
and political (though these terms shouldn't be separate) . An overwhelming gut feeling doesn't do much good in an obviously political situation . Though gut feelings aren't ruled out, they shouldn't
dominate an individual's reaction , especially in a situation such as
the one that occurred.
One la'st thing to stew on. If Eldridge Cleaver had come to
speak, and chosen to speak to black people only, what do you
think the reaction would have been? I imagine white people would
have accepted that, and they wouldn't even venture to try to come
to the talk. So, in the case of the women's concert, if the men that
came in were not asserting power, pray tell me what they were
doing?
I'm glad this issue ~eared its head. It is high time people discuss
these issues. A conflict situation such as the one that occurred
spurs people to reaction and discussion. Though maybe not the
most comfortable milieu for discussion to occur in, at least the
discussion does occur. Sometimes people need to be personally
offended in order to have them deal with important issues .
P.S. That phrase at the end of one of the letters - "it takes two
to tango." Is that an innocent play on words, or is it more heterosexist humor?

More Salaries: Staff
This is the second of a series of articles detailing salaries of employees of The
Evergreen State CoUege. Articles in preparation will detail the salaries of ail student employees and the finances of Evergreen's Board of Trustees.
The COOPER POINT JOURNAL is publishing these articles as a community
service. We hope that through printing the salaries of everyone who works for
the school, inequities in pay, if any, will have a greater chance of being corrected.
It is not our intent to embarrass anyone.
Staff salaries fall under a "classified" rating. Their pay is .regulated by the
Higher Penonnel Board, which lists positions and rank, such as "Custodian II,"
and detennines a specific salary range for that position. In addition, there are
steps In each pay range, which increase annually by two steps after an initial
two-step Increase six months after a person is hired. For example, an Accounting
Assistant n Is assigned a salary range of 35. At step A s/he gets $647 a month.
Six months after beginning, s/he moves to step Cat $680 a month. After a year,
s/he goes to step E at 5713 a month; and so on, up to level "K". Fractions after
the position titles indicate part-time work.

Early SeIIlester
Proposed
By fall of 1978 Evergreen could
be using semesters. Registrar
Walker Allen has written a proposal to change the school's calendar from the present system of
four ten-week quarters to a plan
using "early" semesters. Early
semesters differ from traditional
semesters in that the first semester starts in late August and ends
just before Christmas, and the
second semester runs from the
second week of January until
mid-May.
"If you have more time, you
have more opportunity to learn,"
explained Allen. "Starting and
stopping each quarter loses time,
and with a semester system you
only start and stop two times a
year instead of three."
Allen felt out the idea this fall
with a one-page "proposal for
discussion" which he took to the
deans and directors . "The comments were all very positive," he
said. Now he has authored a
longer proposal. which will be
discussed at the next Sounding
Board meeting in February.
PRO AND CON
Some of the advantages of
early semesters would be:
- They contain proportionately more time for students to
read, study, write, and discuss.
- They reduce the number of
faculty tasks related to term endings, such as evaluation, advising, and registration, thus freeing
this time for instruction.
- They would provide more
time , for program I contract development, for in-depth study,
and for evaluation of students.
- They would reduce registration, fee billing and evaluation
tasks by one-third, providing
some financial savings.
Political interest at Evergreen
seems to fall into two categories:
Radical left or Unconcerned . Unfortunately, the daily activities of
the legislature fall into the bland,
middle of the road reality of
state politics . The legislature,
which just began its 45th session
last week, is not inherently interesting, but then, it wasn't designed to be. Regardless of how
dull or unentertaining the process
is, the results are oft~n important.
For example, it has been suggested that state college and university tuitions be increased to
$205. It will be a while before
the legislature takes any action
on the proposal, but they will be
looking at it.
If you work for a living, there
might be some bad news in store.
Thurston County Superior Court
Judge Doran ruled last Friday
that the State is responsible for
full funding of public schools, so
now most legislators think that a
State personal income tax is
likely, if not inevitably, to be
passed in this session or the next.
If you don't happen to be
working for a living right now,
and draw unemployment insle.d,
then you 'might be interestea in
knowing that Unemployment
Compensation (UC) eligibility
guidelines are probably going to
be overhauled this session. The
Association of Washington Business, which is essentially a lobbying organization, would like to
see the legislature do something
about the Increasing cost of providing UC to people employed
by A WB members.

FORUM is a column of commentary on issues of possible interest to the Evergreen community. The column is open to any individual or group on campus. The opinions expressed in FORUM
are solely the author'S, and do not necessarily reflect the opinions
of the college or the staff of the COOPER POINT JOURNAL .
Address all correspondence to FORUM, the COOPER POINT
JOURNAL, CAB 306.
by Thorn Thacker
The proposal also lists some
disadvantages:
- They provide fewer opportunities for changing programs or
contracts.
- They might cause late registration for some students and l
or interfere with summer vacations by starting near Labor Day .
- They interfere with some
seasonal summer jobs.
- The summer of the changeover would be short, about
eleven weeks long.
The proposal quotes a number
of favorable comments about
early semesters by people in
other colleges around the country, and cites a national survey
showing that out of 2,722 institutions questioned, 308 use tradi ~
tional semesters, 653 use quarters, and 1,170 institutions use
early semesters (591 institutions
use other assorted calendars).
Allen says he is primarily interested in changing for the academic benefits . "What I'm hearing from faculty, students, and
staff is, 'It sounds good, let's
support it. ,,'
Allen admits that the idea is
not one that will get everyone
very excited. " It will take substantial support for it to be
changed :" He says if there is a
favorable response from the
Sounding Board, he'll take it to
the vice-presidents. From there it
would go to the President and
on to the Board of Trustees. "The
legislature would have to ultimately approve it, because our
fees are tied to the quarter system by law."
If you have something to say
about early semesters, the Sounding Board will meet to discuss
the subject February 2nd at 8: 30
a .m. in CAB 108.

FORUM
There will be some effort made
to change the state's restrictions
on the size of oil tankers permitted to traverse Puget Sound.
The current law does not allow
any tanker of more than 125,000
deadweight tons. ARCa, for one,
would like to see this restriction
changed
to
approximately
130,000 deadweight tons. The
curren t restriction allows only
roughly half of ARCO's tanker
fleet access to their refinery at
Cherry Point. Permitting the
larger (130,000 ton) ships into
the sound would let ARCa send
most of its fleet to the refinery.
WATCHING
THE LEGISLATURE
Here are a few suggestions :
The Bill room. Here you will find
mountains of literature and documents covering everything
you've ever wanted to know about the legislature. Printed
copies of every piece of legislation introduced in either house
are available.
lLike the U.S. Congress, the
Washington ·Iegislature has a
House of Representatives and a
Senate. Unlike Congress, the legislature need only meet every
two years (a biennium). Also, the
Senators and Representatives in
Olympia are only part-time: almost all have other jobs or businesses. Former Governor Evans
advocated a full-time legislature,
and often called the legislators
back into "special session."}
U you don't know the number
of the bill you want to see, then
ask for the latest "Legislative Digest" supplement. This is a list of
bills which have been introduced
to date, listed by number, ahort
title, and a brief explanation of
what that bill purports to do.
Failing that, the bill room has a
fairly large staff of people who
are paid to pass out information
and answer your questions. Once
you know which piece of legislation you want to follow you
should check the bill room's Daily Status Sheet, stating which
committee the bill is in . The bill
room also has a daily agenda of
committee meetings (generally
open to the public), that tells
when and where a particular
committee will be meeting. You
might also want to look at the
daily House and Senate session
agendas, which tell what bills (if
any) will be acted on that day .
The bill room is located on the
ground floor, southeast corner,
of the legislative building (the
one with the dome).
The Galleries: Both houses of
the legislature have public galleries, which are located on the
fourth floor of the legisla tive
building. The galleries are analogous to bleachers at a basketball
game. From here you can sit in
relative comfort and watch debates among the legislators during theiI daily sessions. Both
houses convene at noon each
weekday.
The Legislative Hotline. If going downtown every day is more
trouble than it seems worth, then
you can call from the privacy of
your own home. The Hotline
number is 1-800-562-6000. Call
this number to find out what is
being done with a particular bill,
or to leave message with your
district's legislators.
I'm writing for FORUM in response to the current discussion about the women's concert. I agree with the Women's Center I musicians' stance on the issue. I really can't see any reasons to under mine an event that means strength and warmth to a group of
people - women in this case. I feel like a lot of men reacted as if
they were jealous, excluded from an enjoyable eve nt in life . " How
can there be something good goi ng on that I can't go to 7 So just
to make sure that this god-forsaken situation doesn 't arise, I will
enter the concert. While at the concert I will seethe with anger an d
contempt. I will also exude joy because I have won , intruded . and
generally made people uncomfortable and unhapp y. Oh , how
liberated I am, listening to women's music. " Excuse me for the
brief aside, but I think it does illustrate a point.
I think the women who wrote in last week confused two separate issues. The first of these was the la ck of advertising to advise people of the concert's nature. The producers apologized for
this mistake . Whereas I realize that this caused a good deal of in convenience, I think most of the reaction stems from the second
issue. It was the question as to whether or not women should be
able to get together by themselves . Many people think not and
spout some typical Evergreen "communit y of human kind " line .
There's no equality, "even at Evergreen ." What a revelation! And
in a sense, ~quality is not the issue . The issue is that a group of
peeople want to spend time together. Perhaps to bolster spirits,
but not to assert power in its traditional sense.
I can't speak as to whether or not women at the concert wanted
to be with other women exclusively. The point is that it is for the
women to decide among themselves if they want an all-women's
event. This is not our territory to make decisions , or even stir up
some emotional sentiments. Women can decide if this tactic furthers their cause, as well as furthering the cause of peoplekind in
the long run .
Now to speak to two of the ideas that were presented in one of
the letters . One is the myth of reverse chauvinism . Chauvinism
connotes assertion of power by one group over another in a systematic manner. In other words, men aren't chauvinistic because
they are men, it is because they oppress women . Therefore it fo llows that women, as women, cannot be chauvinistic. Take a
glance at the barriers that block the equalization of the sexes, let
alone a situation where women would perpetrate an oppressive
atmosphere.
Another myth is that of men being oppressed by their sexual I
social roles. This is a fallacy, because men are not oppressed just
because they are men. Faggots, various Third World groups,
workers,. and sOIite individuals are oppressed, but not due to the
fact that they are men. They are oppressed because they deviate
from the norm . This is an important distinction to make. Women
as a group are oppressed by men . Men suffer, but are not oppressed by the social roles that they themselves have created and
upheld . Make sense?
May I take license to continue, and maybe moralize while I'm at
it? We men must start/continue to listen to and respect women.
We have to start dealing/keep struggling with the patriarchal aspects of our personalities. We have one another to do this with if
women are feeling drained of energy, and even if they 're not.
These are our problems as men , and problems that we should deal
with. However, these problems shou ld be seen in a larger societal
context. So while you're changing, give good thought to changing
the ·system that creates and inculcates these values into us as individuals I groups.
It is important to look at our reactions in terms of the personal
and political (though these terms shouldn't be separate) . An overwhelming gut feeling doesn't do much good in an obviously political situation . Though gut feelings aren't ruled out, they shouldn't
dominate an individual's reaction , especially in a situation such as
the one that occurred.
One la'st thing to stew on. If Eldridge Cleaver had come to
speak, and chosen to speak to black people only, what do you
think the reaction would have been? I imagine white people would
have accepted that, and they wouldn't even venture to try to come
to the talk. So, in the case of the women's concert, if the men that
came in were not asserting power, pray tell me what they were
doing?
I'm glad this issue ~eared its head. It is high time people discuss
these issues. A conflict situation such as the one that occurred
spurs people to reaction and discussion. Though maybe not the
most comfortable milieu for discussion to occur in, at least the
discussion does occur. Sometimes people need to be personally
offended in order to have them deal with important issues .
P.S. That phrase at the end of one of the letters - "it takes two
to tango." Is that an innocent play on words, or is it more heterosexist humor?

The Governor's Encore:
An Interview- With Dan Evans
will bring. I certainly don't intend to close
doors that I haven't even approached yet.
I have absolutely no expectation that I'll
ever run for political office. I think, in
looking back now with the wisdom of two
days out of office, that the last 20 years
have really been an exciting, rewarding,
tremendously interesting part of my life.
It was a second career, after being a professional engineer, and I'm really looking
forward to a third career. I'll always be
involved in public affairs as a citizen, but
I certainly don't have any interest in running for public office. Most particularly I
could not and would not use Evergreen as
a political springboard. In fact, I'm not so
sure it's a good springboard anyhow. Being a college president today is challenging, and I also think it's going to be fun,
but it's also tough and demanding enough
that I'm not sure that it gives you any
The following interview with Dan Evans
took place in the KAOS-FM studios on
Friday, January 14. The interviewers were
Matt Groening, COOPER POINT JOURNAL editor; Ti Locke, former CPJ editor,
Rob Macht, KAOS-FM public affairs director; and Karrie Jacobs, KAOS-FM
news director and CPJ writer.
The remarks excerpted here are taken
from a live broadcast and from the less
formal discussion which immediately fotlowed the broadcast.
MATT GROENING: Some people have
criticized the method by which you were
selected for the presidency of Evergreen~
Would you like to comment on that?
DAN EVANS: Sure. I've heard the criticism, and I'd have to say candidly that it
was an unusual method of selection. I
guess the method relates to the unusual
nature of the whole operation. There are
not many cases anywhere in the country,
I suppose, where you would ever have a
similar combination of elected officials,
the governor in particular, leaving office
at the same time a potential vacancy was
occurring in a college.
Some months ago the Board of Trustees
asked whether I would be interested in the
college. Well, I've always been interested
in the college right from its inception, but
certainly not with the idea in mind of ever
being associated directly in a full-time responsibility at any level. I frankly told
them that I just couldn't say. I wanted to
wait until I'd had a chance to take a look
at all of the kinds of things that I might
do. I wanted to wait until the election
procedures were out of the way this year,
especially at the national level, when I
would have a better insight into what was
going to happen nationally and in terms
of the next administration here in the state.
The Board of Trustees was in a little bit
of an uncomfortable position, because
they had said right from the beginning
that, "You would do a fine job, and rather
than go through the tedious nature and
the long involvement of a selection committee in process, we'd like you to take
the job." I wasn't prepared at that time,
because I just didn't know what I'd really
like to do. They felt it necessary to then
at least initiate the procedure of a selection committee. I know that that has created some concern, of not only people on
campus, but particularly some members
of the selection committee. And then it
finally came down to the point where I
said yes, I most definitely was interested
in Evergreen. I told the members of the
board that I was interested, but that I certainly would not accept appointment un'5S I felt that the selection committee it,·if. which had by that time been ap'ointed, felt that I could and would do a
~ood job at Evergreen.
GROENING: There has also been some
criticism that you will use the presidency
as a launching board for future political
involvement. Do you plan to run for public office again 7
EVANS: Well, first, no, I certainly
don't plan to run for public office again,
but no one can predict what the future
sell as being good for Evergreen public relations?
EVANS: Well, I hope so. It's a little
dangerous to speak with very much authority yet because I simply haven't had
much time on campus. From the outside,
at least, from my position as governor,
and from the contacts I made both in the
Olympia community and in other parts of
the state, I think it's fairly apparent that
there is not an understanding of Evergreen, its mission, its way of doing things.
And I think that I have an opportunity to
help translate the Evergreen story to people in the state of Washington.
Ironically, as I go outside the state, I
find that Evergreen is widely known and
highly respected nationally and even internationally. I had a chance to be in England a month ago, and the one college in
the state of Washington that people were
" .. the likelihood of another
college of the same nature as
Evergreen is pretty slim."
great springboard for public office.
GROENING: How about campaigning
for other candidates?
EV ANS: You have to use some real
caution. Because I will be serving in a
public position, I wouldn't want to get involved in something that would reflect
unf"vorably on the college or would cause
problems for it. By the same token I hope
there will be an opportunity to act as a
private citizen, and if the time comes, to
indicate a preference for candidates. I look
upon last Wednesday as the closing of one
door and the opening of another one in
terms of careers, and while I'll have an interest in public service, I don't expect to
have it be the super-interest of someone
who is constantly involved in political
campaigns and even potentially looking at
running for office. All of that is behind me.
i
ROB MACHT: There has been contention by members of the legislature that
there has been a conflict of interest in
your hiring. Now that you're at Evergreen,
do you think that your political opponents
in the legislature would attempt to take
any action against Evergreen?
EV ANS: Well, I would certainly hope
that they are of a lot higher capacity than
that. To take action against Evergreen because of my appointment would really
show a lack of perception. and a lack of
depth in terms of those legislators, and I
don't really anticipate that that will happen . There are only a few members of the
legislature who feel that way, and you
know a legislature of 147 people is going
to include some who will be in opposition
to almost everything you do. They were
when I was governor, and I expect they
will be in relationship to the college. But
by the same token there are a lot of people who feel very strongly about Evergreen in the legislature. I think when things
calm down there will be a positive rather
than a negative impact .
KARRIE JACOBS: Then you see your-
talking about, recognized, and asked about, was Evergreen. Not the University
of Washington, not some of our distinguished private universities, but Evergreen.
JACOBS: Do you think your presence
will help to attract in-state students?
EVANS: I hope so. We have to be cautious about Evergreen having such a large
percentage of its student body coming
from outside the state. The legislature and
taxpayers understandably get concerned
that we are not running an institution for
our own students. One of the concerns
I've had, and I'm sure it's a concern of
Evergreen as well, is that a relatively small
percentage of graduating high school seniors look upon Evergreen as a potential
college. To attract a significantly larger
group of high school graduates and people
from community colleges we have to explain what Evergreen's about and what it's
doing.
LOCKE: Why do you think the local
media are so unfavorably disposed towards Evergreen 7
EVANS: I wish I knew the answer to
that question. But they weren't very favorably disposed towards state government, either. To those who have expressed
a real concern about Evergreen, I have
asked just a simple question: Have you
ever visited the campus? Almost invariably those who have the most concern are
those who have never set. foot on Evergreen. They're working on the basis of
rumor, innuendo, and third-hand stories.
Unfortunately, I'm afraid some of the local news people are doing tlie same thing.
They're not operating from first-hand
knowledge.
GROENING: As president would you
like to do any lectUring in political science
or government organization?
EVANS: Yes, I certainly would, but I'm
not sure really how good I'd be at it. It'd
be a totally new opportunity. I've never
taught or lectured in an academic setting.
I think of all the places to do it, however,
that Evergreen would be as comfortable
and as easy a place as any. There are some
things I've learned over the last dozen
years that I hope would be of value and
use to others, and if I can share that by
lecturing I'd love to do it.
MACHT: I'd like to know how you
think Evergreen has developed in its history and if you have any specific areas of
improvement to suggest.
EVANS: It's premature for me to get
into much detail about what changes I'd
like to make at Evergreen until I get better
acquainted with its activities. Evergreen
has fulfilled remarkably well the initial
charge it had to be an alternative in higher
education. If Evergreen had turned into a
duplicate of the other three state colleges
there would have been little reason for its
existence or its continuation. The concurrent problem that arises from it, however,
is that it is so different, and it takes time
to explain the Evergreen story to the people. That's a task that really needs doing.
In one specific area Evergreen has not
done as well as I would like to see happen.
One of the initial charges to Evergreen,
once the selection of the site had been
made, was to be an adjunct, or at least a
close neighbor to state government. There
is a real opportunity for a two-way flow
between the two: state government utilizing the expertise and talents of the Evergreen campus in some of their tasks, and
the college attracting students from those
working full-time in state government.
LOCKE: One of the paramount policies
at Evergreen is Affirmative Action, What
priority do you see in a search for nonwhite faculty, staff, and students 7
EVANS: It's a very high priority. I believe the activities of the last eight to ten
years in state government give some guidelines, some measuring points as to the
commitment our administration has had
toward Affirmative Action. The development of the various commissions - AsianAmerican, Indian, Mexican-American all have been of immense help in providing input to state government about the
unusual needs, desires, and hopes of peoples in those communities throughout the
state.
More recently, the Affirmative Action
guidelines we have taken have included
what are probably artificial responses but they are necessary artificial responses,
in order to make sure we get Affirmative
Action.
I think we've got to make sure we look
far enough, broadly enough, and actively
enough, and not only meet but surpass
whatever Affirmative Action guidelines
we have set for ourselves. I think that can
be done. We have made some real strides
in state government, and I think the same
thing, perhaps on a different basis, can be
done on a college campus, particularly on
the Evergreen campus.
GROENING: Are you going to grow a
beard again 7
EVANS: [laughs] Well, I don't know.
We're going to have an opportunity for a
family trip for a portion of the time between now and actually assuming the
presidency in June. I may very well. It
may come out as a mustache rather than
a beard. I'm not sure yet.
That turned out to be, incidentally, one
of the most interesting - I guess psycho-
logical - experiences that I've ever gone
through. I had pretty close to 1,000 letters
from people once I grew the beard, and
they were split precisely down the middle
between those who were vehemently opposed to the whole thing and those who
thought it was a great idea. It really said
something about peoples' perceptions of
others. I understood a lot better how people who either look a bit different or act a
bit different are viewed by others. People
too seldom look beyond the surface characteristics and really try to understand
each other. I suspect that growing a beard
as a governor was really an important
thing to me. I learned an awful lot from it
which may help in other relationships.
GROENING: Besides the possibility of
growing a beard, what else do you think
you're going to do between now and when
you take the presidency?
EVANS: We are going to take the boys
out of school for the spring semester and
take an extended trip. We hope to spend
a good share of the time in or near London
and really try to get deeply involved in
our cultural and historic background.
While I'm there I want to make contacts
with some of the higher educational institutions, just to get a flavor of how things
are done in a totally different kind of educational setting than we have in this country.
MACHT: Of) you think that in the future of Washington State, and in general,
there1l be more of a demand for schools
with a structure similar to Evergreen's, or
do you think it1l lean more toward a traditional type of education?
EVANS: That's hard to predict. In the
next ten years there will be a rapidly declining number of high school graduates.
We're finally going to see the low birth
rates of the last eight to ten years start to
evolve into smaller and smaller high
school classes. That means the existing
higher educational institutions in the state
of Washington are all going to be more
competitive for students, and I think we're
going to see some changes in a variety of
ways. We're already seeing them on the
community college level, where last year
we crossed over to the point where more
than 50 % of the students are in vocational, as opposed to academic, courses. We're
also seeing a fairly rapid increase in the
age level in community colleges. The average age is now approaching 30, quite
different than the four-year institutions.
Over the next ten years we're not likely to
see the addition of any new higher educational institutions, and certainly the likelihood of another college of the same nature as Evergreen is pretty slim. The unusual educational structure is probably
going to remain almost unique here at Evergreen, at least during the course of the
next decade.
JACOBS: Do you have something you
term an educational philosophy7
EV ANS: Well, it perhaps isn't fully developed yet. I suspect that over the next
few years it may very well change to a
degree with my more detailed experience
here at Evergreen. I was trained as an engineer - at a time when engineering education was just that - a very narrow, almost exclusively prescribed technical
course operation. In fact, it was only in
my last year or two at the University of
Washington that they began to bring in
outside courses to give us more of a liberal education. I view college as a place
not only for people to learn a specific profession or to give them the background
for a particular career, but also as a place
to learn how to study and how to continue
for a lifetime to absorb information, to
continue to seek out new ideas. I think it's
very important that we not get so narrowly into a particular subject that we
forget the education of an individual
ought to be very broad. They ought to be
equipped when they leave the college
campus to continue for the rest of their
lives learning and growing. Otherwise
people are going to stagnate.
JACOBS: If you were of college age today would you choose to go to a place
like Evergreen?
EVANS: That's a pretty good question.
I'm not at all sure, given what has happened in the last 25 years, that I would
take engineering. I might take a totally
different kind of course or basic study. In
fact, I suspect I would. Whether it would
be at Evergreen I just don't know, because
unfortunately I'm trapped to a degree, like
all of us are, with our own experiences.
Incidentally, I think that is one of the
biggest single difficulties there is in translating Evergreen to the outside community. They, too, view higher education
through their own experiences - almost
unquestionably a traditional, course-by-
course march-through - and when they
view Evergreen they find it almost incomprehensible . So I suppose if I leaned on all
those 25 years I might be reluctant to
come to Evergreen. I suspect that my children, however, especially two of them,
would find it exciting and very likely
would be entranced with the idea of coming.
drive people out of the educational system
who really ought to be there.
GROENING: How would you 'like to
be addressed by the students?
EVANS: [laughs] I haven't even really
thought about it. I'm certainly not Governor any more, and although some continue to use that term for ex-governors, I'd
feel more uncomfortable than comfortable
" ... not only meet but surpass
whatever Affirmative Action
guidelines we have set for
ourselves. "
LOCKE: I understand you're going to
be on campus for a few days for an orientation session. What kinds of activities are
going to be crammed into those few days?
EV ANS: I'll start out by trying to get a
better sense of how Evergreen is put together. I'll talk to those who have major
responsibilities in each of the areas, including the business, administrative, personnel, and faculty sides of Evergreen.
I really would like to spend some time
following that talking to people at all levels in Evergreen, and finding out from every part of the Evergreen community what
their perceptions of the school are. I rather
look forward to that second half of the
orientation as being very interesting. I
may just drop in someplace unannounced,
without any previous knowledge myself
of where I'd be going, and just meet people and find out what they think.
GROENING: What do you think of
teachers forming unions and bargaining
collectively?
EVANS: Teachers, or any other group,
ought to have the opportunity to form
unions and bargain collectively. I really
prefer that those who work in a professional capacity will act and work with the
administrators - in this case, of a college
- on as close to a professional basis as
possible.
MACHT: At this point do you think
there's any action that can be taken to avoid the tuition raises that are planned for
the Washington state colleges?
EVANS: Tuition raises, I know, are a
very painful subject to any student, particularly those who are struggling to make
ends meet. I think it's very important for
the college management to push hard for
a concurrent increase in student aid funds,
tuition waivers, and other kinds of tools
which can be used to help students continue. We have to make sure we don't
with that kind of term. I've been Dan a
lot longer than I've been anything else,
and I think that's probably as good as
anything. Whatever people are comfortable with would suit me.
After the interview Evans stayed around
for a less formal discussion. Here are excerpts:
EVANS: I'm afraid you've asked me
questions that you'll have to come back
and ask me about a year from now. Especially in what I see as far as changes at
Evergreen. I've got to spend a little time
getting acquainted. . . It's going to be
fun.
I'm aware of the osticky wicket of the
appointment, which I'm chagrined about,
although I'm not sure there was any way
to overcome it. I guess part of it was my
fault in not knowing some months ago
really what I wanted to do. Being governor was probably one of the best jobs
you could have, particularly in a state like
Washington, where the problems are neither so monumental that people have
given up solving them, or so small that
they don't have to start. . . I thought,
what the heck do I do for an encore? I
had several interesting and a couple of
fairly exciting opportunities in private industry - one in international trade in
particular - that would have been really
quite a lot of fun. A lot of traveling. Yet I
was afraid I would get in private ins:\ustry
and be just bored stiff after a while, because there wouldn't be the stimulus and
the challenge. I may have chosen to go
totally the other way, where the stimulus
and the challenge will be so hyper-charged
all the time that there won't be any chance
to relax. [laughs]
LOCKE: Are you going to wander incognito through the college 7
EVANS: I think that's going to be kind
of hard ... unless I wear a mask.
LOCKE: How long do you think it's
going to take before the students stop
gawking at you?
EV ANS: I hope it won't be very long .
, . Yesterday, after lunch, it took me 15
minutes to get back to the library, because
eight or ten students stopped me. I found
it difficult to ask people what courses they
were taking - that didn't realty fit.
JACOBS: No one ever knows what to
say when you ask them,
EVANS: So I just said, "What are you
doing? What are you into ... 7" Really
some fascinating stuff. I've already got
some invitations I'm going to take up ...
One of the fellows in Marine History and
Crafts said to me next week they were
starting to loft the sailboat, and that's
fascinating stuff ..
Tell me about this. They say the problem is, that you come to Evergreen and
you start out on something with an interest, yet two years later the whole thing
has disappeared and everybody is reor ganized with different things going on. So
you can never get four years put together
of things you really want to follow . Is
that really a continuing problem 7
JACOBS: It depends on how dedicated
and persistent you are. Now they're trying
to have more consistence in the courses,
but finding an individual contract sponsor
is really hard sometimes, especially one
who's really qualified in your area. It
makes things really difficult to pursue
what you want to do, and get academic
credit, without it all falling apart.
GROENING: Actually the people who
want to do individual work have it a little
bit easier, because they make -up their own
contracts. But some of the people who
want continuing programs in a particular
area don't know if there's going to be
anything similar offered the next year .
And they have to hold their breath until
the catalog supplement comes out.
EV ANS: As long as the basic direction
of Evergreen is to not get into a lock-step
course (even in terms of a coordinated
studies program that is repeated every

GROENING: Will you bring in your

Interview
with
President
McCann
I
The Governor's Encore:
An Interview- With Dan Evans
will bring. I certainly don't intend to close
doors that I haven't even approached yet.
I have absolutely no expectation that I'll
ever run for political office. I think, in
looking back now with the wisdom of two
days out of office, that the last 20 years
have really been an exciting, rewarding,
tremendously interesting part of my life.
It was a second career, after being a professional engineer, and I'm really looking
forward to a third career. I'll always be
involved in public affairs as a citizen, but
I certainly don't have any interest in running for public office. Most particularly I
could not and would not use Evergreen as
a political springboard. In fact, I'm not so
sure it's a good springboard anyhow. Being a college president today is challenging, and I also think it's going to be fun,
but it's also tough and demanding enough
that I'm not sure that it gives you any
The following interview with Dan Evans
took place in the KAOS-FM studios on
Friday, January 14. The interviewers were
Matt Groening, COOPER POINT JOURNAL editor; Ti Locke, former CPJ editor,
Rob Macht, KAOS-FM public affairs director; and Karrie Jacobs, KAOS-FM
news director and CPJ writer.
The remarks excerpted here are taken
from a live broadcast and from the less
formal discussion which immediately fotlowed the broadcast.
MATT GROENING: Some people have
criticized the method by which you were
selected for the presidency of Evergreen~
Would you like to comment on that?
DAN EVANS: Sure. I've heard the criticism, and I'd have to say candidly that it
was an unusual method of selection. I
guess the method relates to the unusual
nature of the whole operation. There are
not many cases anywhere in the country,
I suppose, where you would ever have a
similar combination of elected officials,
the governor in particular, leaving office
at the same time a potential vacancy was
occurring in a college.
Some months ago the Board of Trustees
asked whether I would be interested in the
college. Well, I've always been interested
in the college right from its inception, but
certainly not with the idea in mind of ever
being associated directly in a full-time responsibility at any level. I frankly told
them that I just couldn't say. I wanted to
wait until I'd had a chance to take a look
at all of the kinds of things that I might
do. I wanted to wait until the election
procedures were out of the way this year,
especially at the national level, when I
would have a better insight into what was
going to happen nationally and in terms
of the next administration here in the state.
The Board of Trustees was in a little bit
of an uncomfortable position, because
they had said right from the beginning
that, "You would do a fine job, and rather
than go through the tedious nature and
the long involvement of a selection committee in process, we'd like you to take
the job." I wasn't prepared at that time,
because I just didn't know what I'd really
like to do. They felt it necessary to then
at least initiate the procedure of a selection committee. I know that that has created some concern, of not only people on
campus, but particularly some members
of the selection committee. And then it
finally came down to the point where I
said yes, I most definitely was interested
in Evergreen. I told the members of the
board that I was interested, but that I certainly would not accept appointment un'5S I felt that the selection committee it,·if. which had by that time been ap'ointed, felt that I could and would do a
~ood job at Evergreen.
GROENING: There has also been some
criticism that you will use the presidency
as a launching board for future political
involvement. Do you plan to run for public office again 7
EVANS: Well, first, no, I certainly
don't plan to run for public office again,
but no one can predict what the future
sell as being good for Evergreen public relations?
EVANS: Well, I hope so. It's a little
dangerous to speak with very much authority yet because I simply haven't had
much time on campus. From the outside,
at least, from my position as governor,
and from the contacts I made both in the
Olympia community and in other parts of
the state, I think it's fairly apparent that
there is not an understanding of Evergreen, its mission, its way of doing things.
And I think that I have an opportunity to
help translate the Evergreen story to people in the state of Washington.
Ironically, as I go outside the state, I
find that Evergreen is widely known and
highly respected nationally and even internationally. I had a chance to be in England a month ago, and the one college in
the state of Washington that people were
" .. the likelihood of another
college of the same nature as
Evergreen is pretty slim."
great springboard for public office.
GROENING: How about campaigning
for other candidates?
EV ANS: You have to use some real
caution. Because I will be serving in a
public position, I wouldn't want to get involved in something that would reflect
unf"vorably on the college or would cause
problems for it. By the same token I hope
there will be an opportunity to act as a
private citizen, and if the time comes, to
indicate a preference for candidates. I look
upon last Wednesday as the closing of one
door and the opening of another one in
terms of careers, and while I'll have an interest in public service, I don't expect to
have it be the super-interest of someone
who is constantly involved in political
campaigns and even potentially looking at
running for office. All of that is behind me.
i
ROB MACHT: There has been contention by members of the legislature that
there has been a conflict of interest in
your hiring. Now that you're at Evergreen,
do you think that your political opponents
in the legislature would attempt to take
any action against Evergreen?
EV ANS: Well, I would certainly hope
that they are of a lot higher capacity than
that. To take action against Evergreen because of my appointment would really
show a lack of perception. and a lack of
depth in terms of those legislators, and I
don't really anticipate that that will happen . There are only a few members of the
legislature who feel that way, and you
know a legislature of 147 people is going
to include some who will be in opposition
to almost everything you do. They were
when I was governor, and I expect they
will be in relationship to the college. But
by the same token there are a lot of people who feel very strongly about Evergreen in the legislature. I think when things
calm down there will be a positive rather
than a negative impact .
KARRIE JACOBS: Then you see your-
talking about, recognized, and asked about, was Evergreen. Not the University
of Washington, not some of our distinguished private universities, but Evergreen.
JACOBS: Do you think your presence
will help to attract in-state students?
EVANS: I hope so. We have to be cautious about Evergreen having such a large
percentage of its student body coming
from outside the state. The legislature and
taxpayers understandably get concerned
that we are not running an institution for
our own students. One of the concerns
I've had, and I'm sure it's a concern of
Evergreen as well, is that a relatively small
percentage of graduating high school seniors look upon Evergreen as a potential
college. To attract a significantly larger
group of high school graduates and people
from community colleges we have to explain what Evergreen's about and what it's
doing.
LOCKE: Why do you think the local
media are so unfavorably disposed towards Evergreen 7
EVANS: I wish I knew the answer to
that question. But they weren't very favorably disposed towards state government, either. To those who have expressed
a real concern about Evergreen, I have
asked just a simple question: Have you
ever visited the campus? Almost invariably those who have the most concern are
those who have never set. foot on Evergreen. They're working on the basis of
rumor, innuendo, and third-hand stories.
Unfortunately, I'm afraid some of the local news people are doing tlie same thing.
They're not operating from first-hand
knowledge.
GROENING: As president would you
like to do any lectUring in political science
or government organization?
EVANS: Yes, I certainly would, but I'm
not sure really how good I'd be at it. It'd
be a totally new opportunity. I've never
taught or lectured in an academic setting.
I think of all the places to do it, however,
that Evergreen would be as comfortable
and as easy a place as any. There are some
things I've learned over the last dozen
years that I hope would be of value and
use to others, and if I can share that by
lecturing I'd love to do it.
MACHT: I'd like to know how you
think Evergreen has developed in its history and if you have any specific areas of
improvement to suggest.
EVANS: It's premature for me to get
into much detail about what changes I'd
like to make at Evergreen until I get better
acquainted with its activities. Evergreen
has fulfilled remarkably well the initial
charge it had to be an alternative in higher
education. If Evergreen had turned into a
duplicate of the other three state colleges
there would have been little reason for its
existence or its continuation. The concurrent problem that arises from it, however,
is that it is so different, and it takes time
to explain the Evergreen story to the people. That's a task that really needs doing.
In one specific area Evergreen has not
done as well as I would like to see happen.
One of the initial charges to Evergreen,
once the selection of the site had been
made, was to be an adjunct, or at least a
close neighbor to state government. There
is a real opportunity for a two-way flow
between the two: state government utilizing the expertise and talents of the Evergreen campus in some of their tasks, and
the college attracting students from those
working full-time in state government.
LOCKE: One of the paramount policies
at Evergreen is Affirmative Action, What
priority do you see in a search for nonwhite faculty, staff, and students 7
EVANS: It's a very high priority. I believe the activities of the last eight to ten
years in state government give some guidelines, some measuring points as to the
commitment our administration has had
toward Affirmative Action. The development of the various commissions - AsianAmerican, Indian, Mexican-American all have been of immense help in providing input to state government about the
unusual needs, desires, and hopes of peoples in those communities throughout the
state.
More recently, the Affirmative Action
guidelines we have taken have included
what are probably artificial responses but they are necessary artificial responses,
in order to make sure we get Affirmative
Action.
I think we've got to make sure we look
far enough, broadly enough, and actively
enough, and not only meet but surpass
whatever Affirmative Action guidelines
we have set for ourselves. I think that can
be done. We have made some real strides
in state government, and I think the same
thing, perhaps on a different basis, can be
done on a college campus, particularly on
the Evergreen campus.
GROENING: Are you going to grow a
beard again 7
EVANS: [laughs] Well, I don't know.
We're going to have an opportunity for a
family trip for a portion of the time between now and actually assuming the
presidency in June. I may very well. It
may come out as a mustache rather than
a beard. I'm not sure yet.
That turned out to be, incidentally, one
of the most interesting - I guess psycho-
logical - experiences that I've ever gone
through. I had pretty close to 1,000 letters
from people once I grew the beard, and
they were split precisely down the middle
between those who were vehemently opposed to the whole thing and those who
thought it was a great idea. It really said
something about peoples' perceptions of
others. I understood a lot better how people who either look a bit different or act a
bit different are viewed by others. People
too seldom look beyond the surface characteristics and really try to understand
each other. I suspect that growing a beard
as a governor was really an important
thing to me. I learned an awful lot from it
which may help in other relationships.
GROENING: Besides the possibility of
growing a beard, what else do you think
you're going to do between now and when
you take the presidency?
EVANS: We are going to take the boys
out of school for the spring semester and
take an extended trip. We hope to spend
a good share of the time in or near London
and really try to get deeply involved in
our cultural and historic background.
While I'm there I want to make contacts
with some of the higher educational institutions, just to get a flavor of how things
are done in a totally different kind of educational setting than we have in this country.
MACHT: Of) you think that in the future of Washington State, and in general,
there1l be more of a demand for schools
with a structure similar to Evergreen's, or
do you think it1l lean more toward a traditional type of education?
EVANS: That's hard to predict. In the
next ten years there will be a rapidly declining number of high school graduates.
We're finally going to see the low birth
rates of the last eight to ten years start to
evolve into smaller and smaller high
school classes. That means the existing
higher educational institutions in the state
of Washington are all going to be more
competitive for students, and I think we're
going to see some changes in a variety of
ways. We're already seeing them on the
community college level, where last year
we crossed over to the point where more
than 50 % of the students are in vocational, as opposed to academic, courses. We're
also seeing a fairly rapid increase in the
age level in community colleges. The average age is now approaching 30, quite
different than the four-year institutions.
Over the next ten years we're not likely to
see the addition of any new higher educational institutions, and certainly the likelihood of another college of the same nature as Evergreen is pretty slim. The unusual educational structure is probably
going to remain almost unique here at Evergreen, at least during the course of the
next decade.
JACOBS: Do you have something you
term an educational philosophy7
EV ANS: Well, it perhaps isn't fully developed yet. I suspect that over the next
few years it may very well change to a
degree with my more detailed experience
here at Evergreen. I was trained as an engineer - at a time when engineering education was just that - a very narrow, almost exclusively prescribed technical
course operation. In fact, it was only in
my last year or two at the University of
Washington that they began to bring in
outside courses to give us more of a liberal education. I view college as a place
not only for people to learn a specific profession or to give them the background
for a particular career, but also as a place
to learn how to study and how to continue
for a lifetime to absorb information, to
continue to seek out new ideas. I think it's
very important that we not get so narrowly into a particular subject that we
forget the education of an individual
ought to be very broad. They ought to be
equipped when they leave the college
campus to continue for the rest of their
lives learning and growing. Otherwise
people are going to stagnate.
JACOBS: If you were of college age today would you choose to go to a place
like Evergreen?
EVANS: That's a pretty good question.
I'm not at all sure, given what has happened in the last 25 years, that I would
take engineering. I might take a totally
different kind of course or basic study. In
fact, I suspect I would. Whether it would
be at Evergreen I just don't know, because
unfortunately I'm trapped to a degree, like
all of us are, with our own experiences.
Incidentally, I think that is one of the
biggest single difficulties there is in translating Evergreen to the outside community. They, too, view higher education
through their own experiences - almost
unquestionably a traditional, course-by-
course march-through - and when they
view Evergreen they find it almost incomprehensible . So I suppose if I leaned on all
those 25 years I might be reluctant to
come to Evergreen. I suspect that my children, however, especially two of them,
would find it exciting and very likely
would be entranced with the idea of coming.
drive people out of the educational system
who really ought to be there.
GROENING: How would you 'like to
be addressed by the students?
EVANS: [laughs] I haven't even really
thought about it. I'm certainly not Governor any more, and although some continue to use that term for ex-governors, I'd
feel more uncomfortable than comfortable
" ... not only meet but surpass
whatever Affirmative Action
guidelines we have set for
ourselves. "
LOCKE: I understand you're going to
be on campus for a few days for an orientation session. What kinds of activities are
going to be crammed into those few days?
EV ANS: I'll start out by trying to get a
better sense of how Evergreen is put together. I'll talk to those who have major
responsibilities in each of the areas, including the business, administrative, personnel, and faculty sides of Evergreen.
I really would like to spend some time
following that talking to people at all levels in Evergreen, and finding out from every part of the Evergreen community what
their perceptions of the school are. I rather
look forward to that second half of the
orientation as being very interesting. I
may just drop in someplace unannounced,

The announcement seems simple enough: "Acupressure workshop today in CAB 110. Taught
by Michael Gach. session will
cover basics . . . Call 456-5180."
But before the workshop could
be held, Gach found out that his
plans were in possible violation
of three Washington state laws.
The workshop, originally scheduled by the Faith Center for January 16, was cancelled.
Gach, who has taught acupressure therapy for a year and a
half in Berkeley, California, was
informed by faculty member
Burt Guttman and Dean Willie
Parson that his workshop, and a
planned demonstration for the
Life and Health program, would
likely be illegal. On their suggestion, Gach contacted the state
Department of Professional licensing, and was told that one of
three different violations were
possible,
- practicing medicine without
a license
- performing physical therapy
without a license
- giving massage without a license.
Gach was ~not critical of the
department, but scheduled a private meeting for tomorrow, January 21. with Kenneth Diehl of
the licensing department and the
Attorney General's office for a
clarification of the law.
In the meantime. Gach went
ahead with his planned "lecture"
last Friday about acupressure to
Life and Health, being careful
not to "advise or demonstrate".
. ACUPUNCTURE WITH
HANDS NOT NEEDLES
The idea behind acupreSsure,
a common · Chinese method of ·
preventive medicine, is the same
as that behind the better known
acupuncture.
"There are invisible pathways
. in the body," Gach explains.
. "which have not been discovered
by Western medicine. This system - it's like a magnetic energy
, that feeds the other body sys-
tems.
"Acupuncture is a profession.
and is better for chronic problems," Gach continued. "Using
the needles it can reach deeper
into the body and is more powerful. But acupressure uses only
the hands, on the same points as
acupuncture. In the West there
are about four different types of
acupressure.· In California; I
teach the method developed by
Ron and Iona Teeguarden, known
as Jin-Shin-Do. In China, acupressure is a commonly used
form of preventive medicine and
as such is considered the highest
form of medical care.
"1 feel that acupressure has
the potential for becoming a people's medicine . . ." 24 year old
Gach went on. "All disease - in
the Chinese view - takes place
because of energy stagnation .
Arthritis, for instance, is merely
stagna tion in the wrists and
joints. You learn to be able to
break the blocks and balance the
energy in the body."
THE LAW
Gach teaches acupressure
freely in Berkeley and performs
treatments there, after having
studied for three years in Southern California. The cost of a
workshop is $25 per person.
Problems with the law developed when someone sent a copy
of a flyer advertising the Faith
Center workshop to the Department of Professional Licensing.
According to Kenneth Diehl, of
that department, the brochure
raised Some questions, and they
contacted Parson and Guttman.
"We don't search these ' people
out." Diehl explained, "and so
there may be other acupressure
or massage [persons) we don't
know about . .. "
CURES
Proponents of acu~ressure
cite a number of problems it can
relieve: tension, headache, menstrual and other cramps as well
aa nausea and . arthritis. Treat-
ment is not administered by
pressing on the inflicted area, but
on the key acupuncture point related to that area. The cure for
hiccups, for instance, is pressing
on point #14, located just below
the rib cage.

says he ·will simply return to California if his meeting with the
law tomorrow is not successful.

The COOPER POINT JOURNAL has been rated "best" among
college newspapers in the Northwest in an October article published in the ~nive~ity of Puget
SOWld's Paget Sound Trail.
In an article titled "Just Fish
Wrapping1" editor Karl Ohls
writes. "I get depressed about the
state of the nation's college press
from the editions I see. They're
dull. The trend seems to be to
follow as conventional a line as
possible. Whether through intentional design or lack of experience on the part of the staffs, the
papers are dedicated to on-thesurface coverage with little attempt at interpretation or depth."
Several college newspapers
were singled out for criticism.
The University of Washington
Daily "reads like the class project
of an expository writing course."
The Washington State University
Daily Evergreen is full of "busywork" articles because "not a hell
of a lot goes ori i1I Pullman." The
University of Idaho Argonaut is
dismissed as "bare."
But the COOPER POINT
JOURNAL gets nothing but praise
from Ohls. "The best college
newspaper is The Evergreen State
College's COOPER POINT
JOURNAL. It has its own definite style, sort of early Rolling
Stone. The articles are creative,
amusing, and informational. The
straight news is well-handled.
The writers show style and initiative. Stories range from travels
in Nepal to 'an incisive analysis
of the school's curriculum."
The article is on display in the
COOPER POINT JOURNAL of. fice.

Needs Help
Out in ' the woods. behind the
massive parking lots, work has
begun once more on Evergreen's
Organic Farmhouse. With the
frame up and roofing partially
completed, a group of students
on individual contract are working on the design and construc1ion of the new building. They
could use some help .
The project is headed by staff
member and architect Bill Knauss,
the sponsor of the student contracts. Each student works on the
actual construction of the farmhouse and also learns structural
engineering, site planning, architectura history, and blue printing. Persons interested in the
project can contact Knauss at
866-6083 .

ERYTHING DEPARTMENT
The recent November 29 cover of
TIME magazine featured a collage
commissioned from Robert Rauschenberg to accompeny the. cover
story about him. The story, and
cover. ran as scheduled. but not
without some slight changes by the
clever editors. The largely abstract
collage featured a photograph 01
Rauschenberg with his son Chris
(an Evergreen graduate) In the upper
left hand corner. The elder Rauschenberg was holding the younger's
long pony tall In his hand. Both
were clad In bathing suits. TIME
decided the photo reeked of Implied
homosexuality and covered the Offending Image with the leiter "T" in
"TIME" . Both Rauschenbergs deny
they have slept together ...

Cleaver
Eldrige Cleaver's appearance at
Evergreen, planned for January
20, was cancelled by the Ujamaa
Society. The lecture was originally planned for December, then
.postponed by Cleaver until this
month.
Ujamaa Prime Minister AI
}Valker explained that the society
no longer felt Cleaver had much
to offer. "Reviews I've read of
his latest lectures were very negative, and he has been incoherent," Walker said. "I just didn't
want to risk wasting our money
on someone who would not provide the educational stimulation
we need." According to Walker,
the reassessment had 'nothing to
do with Cleaver's new political
beliefs or his recent well-publicized conversion to Christianity.
Cleaver was a radical activist
aDd Black Panther during the
Sixties, during which time he
wrote Soul on Ice. He spent
seven years in "exile." having
skipped bail in the United States.
He travelled from Canada to
Cuba, then to Algeria, and finally
to Paris. In 1976 he returned to
the States and last October. 10

his wife, Kathleen, were baptized

The COOPER POINT JOURNAL has been rated "best" among
college newspapers in the Northwest in an October article published in the ~nive~ity of Puget
SOWld's Paget Sound Trail.
In an article titled "Just Fish
Wrapping1" editor Karl Ohls
writes. "I get depressed about the
state of the nation's college press
from the editions I see. They're
dull. The trend seems to be to
follow as conventional a line as
possible. Whether through intentional design or lack of experience on the part of the staffs, the
papers are dedicated to on-thesurface coverage with little attempt at interpretation or depth."
Several college newspapers
were singled out for criticism.
The University of Washington
Daily "reads like the class project
of an expository writing course."
The Washington State University
Daily Evergreen is full of "busywork" articles because "not a hell
of a lot goes ori i1I Pullman." The
University of Idaho Argonaut is
dismissed as "bare."
But the COOPER POINT
JOURNAL gets nothing but praise
from Ohls. "The best college
newspaper is The Evergreen State
College's COOPER POINT
JOURNAL. It has its own definite style, sort of early Rolling
Stone. The articles are creative,
amusing, and informational. The
straight news is well-handled.
The writers show style and initiative. Stories range from travels
in Nepal to 'an incisive analysis
of the school's curriculum."
The article is on display in the
COOPER POINT JOURNAL of. fice.

Needs Help
Out in ' the woods. behind the
massive parking lots, work has
begun once more on Evergreen's
Organic Farmhouse. With the
frame up and roofing partially
completed, a group of students
on individual contract are working on the design and construc1ion of the new building. They
could use some help .
The project is headed by staff
member and architect Bill Knauss,
the sponsor of the student contracts. Each student works on the
actual construction of the farmhouse and also learns structural
engineering, site planning, architectura history, and blue printing. Persons interested in the
project can contact Knauss at

commissioned from Robert Rauschenberg to accompeny the. cover
story about him. The story, and
cover. ran as scheduled. but not
without some slight changes by the
clever editors. The largely abstract
collage featured a photograph 01
Rauschenberg with his son Chris
(an Evergreen graduate) In the upper
left hand corner. The elder Rauschenberg was holding the younger's
long pony tall In his hand. Both
were clad In bathing suits. TIME
decided the photo reeked of Implied
homosexuality and covered the Offending Image with the leiter "T" in
"TIME" . Both Rauschenbergs deny
they have slept together ...

Kaos Critics Pick the Hits
by Nathaniel Koch
"Best of. .. " lists often lapse
into drearisome exercises in egomania. In 1976, the observer
(critic) had to have been able to
differentiate between and transcend his / her personal taste for
trash (l have a perverse attraction to even the most vacuous
L. A . Rock). a favorite artist's
Inferior Work (Dylan 's Hard
Rain, Wonder's Songs In The
Key Of Life, Taylor's In The
Pocket) and the Significant-ButDisturbing (The Ramones, Jonathan Richman and the Modem
Lovers). You had to have been
aware of your own limits in musical taste (l am partial to singer /
songwriters and know very little
about Jazz.) The task is further
complicated when you consider
that ' over a hundred albums are
released each month, and the
writer probably had the opportunity to seriously listen to a
small fraction of that amount (l
managed about four or five a
month ).
So why bother with a Best of
1976 list1 Basically for two rea- .
sons: People who listen to a lot
of music usually discover a few
obscure but important albums
tha t will never receive the exposure they deserve. These seemingly contrived lists are a way of
sharing these discoveries and
possibly generating interest in an
unfamiliar artist or recording.
They were also a lot of fun to
do. It is in this spirit that the
various l<AOS staffers and I
compiled our Best of 1976
choices.
Joni Mitchell: Hejira (Asylum)
This is Mitchell's most mature
introspective work to date and a
refreshing change from the detached topical stories on The
Hissing of Summer lawns (1975).
Flight and travel are the central
themes throughout the album.
Mitchell is an artist constantly in
the process of redefining herself
through love and music. Her lyrics reveal the inner dialogue of a
woman gradually discarding the
concept of eternal love juxtaposed with the struggle for self-

sisters have created a collection
of songs tha t exude a fragile intensity . The lyrics are compellingly intelligent and the McGarrigles draw on a variety of musical forms (blues, Canadian folk,
gospel. rockl to establish a melodious, uncluttered sound.
Eno: Another Green World
(Island) I consider this little collection of 14 songs an .absolute
masterpiece, although I admit my
enthusiasm is a bit twisted. Beneath the arty packaging is a
'u nde(latedl. reggae albums of the
year. Although produced by Bob
Marley, this is clearly Martha
Velez's album. An American, she
uses reggae music in her own
writing in much the same way
white kids like Mike Bloomfield
and Bob Dylan used the blues.
What results is a valid use of a
musical form to define a personal
style. "Wild Bird" is my favorite
Velez tune. For those who believe reggae is by definition political, listen to' her sing the Wailers' "Get up, stand up/stand up
for vour rililits I" The song takes
on a w\tole new dimension.
Ry Cooder: Chicken Skin Music (Reprise) Although my enthusiasm for this album has diminished slightly in the months
since its release, I still consider it
an important recording. If nothing else; Cooder is still one of
the best guitar players in the
business. His combination of
Norteno, gospel, and Hawaiian
music on Chicken Skin may not
be exciting, but you have to admire his taste in material and the
finely-crafted arrangements.

Evergreen, Swiss Style.
by Stan Shore
According to Thomas Jefferson, the price of freedom is constant diligence, but Alain Tanner,
the Swif;S-French director of Jonab Who Will Be 25 In The Year
2000, may think that something
less somber is required.
His new film details the lives
of eight acquaintances - each
eccentric, in their late 20's or 30's
and eaar dlidieafed ttdiVing 'theft J .
lives according to their own
ideals: a red-haired secretary for
a Swiss bank, who takes frequent
trips abroad and believes fervently in Tantric sex; a proofreader and disillusioned activist
named Max who loves roulette;
Mathieu the typesetter who tells
a prospective employer: "I am
labor - you are capital. "
This funny and encouraging
film has Jean Jacques Rousseau
as its patron saint. His statue is
shown periodically as the characters move around Geneva and its
suburbs. Rousseau believed that
left to himself man was a good
and noble animal, that society
corrupted . The eight people in
the film - none of them about
to amount to much by conventional standards - seem the kind
of people Rousseau might have
had in mind.

erything seemed like it was on
the verge of changing. And now:
nothing is different . So they live
oddly, just a little out of synch,
bouncirlg through the film and
through life.
There's Mari, a grocery clerk
who does not charge pensioners
the full price of their groceries
since they could not afford them
otherwise. The result: old people
line up ~" front of her check-out
stand, and, eventually, she is
fired.
Cinematically, the film is tight,
carefully controlled and beautiful. When the characters fanta size, their fantasies are shown in
black and white. It is a fine
touch, not terribly original. But
what is indicative of Tanner's
optimism is that in the course of
the movie most of the fantasies
are fulfilled ; having been seen
first in black and white, they are
seen again, for real, in color.
Most people seem to think that
there is a direct correlation between a film's intelligence and its
joylessness. Therefore, an idiotic
film like Taxi Driver is considered intelligent, since nothing
could be less cheerful. Well, Jonah should lay this idea to rest
once and for all : it is intelligent
and joyful. Evergreeners in particular - we are an odd assortment also - should enjoy seeing
this film.

"Time is like a sausage," he explains to an astonished class. '
There's Marcel. the farmer who
cares more about animals than
people. "Whales love music," he
explains to a prospective employee.
The plot which draws these

He ' journeys to the countryside
to warn people and meets Marcel
and the others who live close by.
Halfway through the film
Mathieu and his wife decide to
have a child, and the eight zanies
decide at dinner to name him
"Jonah." Since the film is contemporary, it means that Jonah
will be 25 in the year 2000. Jonah himself and the year are important markers for the people in
the film : the year 2000 marks the
future , and Jonah our emergence
into it .
The people in the film have
funny ideas about Time: they
are impatient, disgusted, overly
patient, " or cosmic in their approaches. But no one just leaves
it alone . They can't. It's against
their religion or politics. It's also
against their age . In the 1960's,
Max explains at one point, ev-

Kaos Critics Pick the Hits
by Nathaniel Koch
"Best of. .. " lists often lapse
into drearisome exercises in egomania. In 1976, the observer
(critic) had to have been able to
differentiate between and transcend his / her personal taste for
trash (l have a perverse attraction to even the most vacuous
L. A . Rock). a favorite artist's
Inferior Work (Dylan 's Hard
Rain, Wonder's Songs In The
Key Of Life, Taylor's In The
Pocket) and the Significant-ButDisturbing (The Ramones, Jonathan Richman and the Modem
Lovers). You had to have been
aware of your own limits in musical taste (l am partial to singer /
songwriters and know very little
about Jazz.) The task is further
complicated when you consider
that ' over a hundred albums are
released each month, and the
writer probably had the opportunity to seriously listen to a
small fraction of that amount (l
managed about four or five a
month ).
So why bother with a Best of
1976 list1 Basically for two rea- .
sons: People who listen to a lot
of music usually discover a few
obscure but important albums
tha t will never receive the exposure they deserve. These seemingly contrived lists are a way of
sharing these discoveries and
possibly generating interest in an
unfamiliar artist or recording.
They were also a lot of fun to
do. It is in this spirit that the
various l<AOS staffers and I
compiled our Best of 1976
choices.
Joni Mitchell: Hejira (Asylum)
This is Mitchell's most mature
introspective work to date and a
refreshing change from the detached topical stories on The
Hissing of Summer lawns (1975).
Flight and travel are the central
themes throughout the album.
Mitchell is an artist constantly in
the process of redefining herself
through love and music. Her lyrics reveal the inner dialogue of a
woman gradually discarding the
concept of eternal love juxtaposed with the struggle for self-

sisters have created a collection
of songs tha t exude a fragile intensity . The lyrics are compellingly intelligent and the McGarrigles draw on a variety of musical forms (blues, Canadian folk,
gospel. rockl to establish a melodious, uncluttered sound.
Eno: Another Green World
(Island) I consider this little collection of 14 songs an .absolute
masterpiece, although I admit my
enthusiasm is a bit twisted. Beneath the arty packaging is a
'u nde(latedl. reggae albums of the
year. Although produced by Bob
Marley, this is clearly Martha
Velez's album. An American, she
uses reggae music in her own
writing in much the same way
white kids like Mike Bloomfield
and Bob Dylan used the blues.
What results is a valid use of a
musical form to define a personal
style. "Wild Bird" is my favorite
Velez tune. For those who believe reggae is by definition political, listen to' her sing the Wailers' "Get up, stand up/stand up
for vour rililits I" The song takes
on a w\tole new dimension.
Ry Cooder: Chicken Skin Music (Reprise) Although my enthusiasm for this album has diminished slightly in the months
since its release, I still consider it
an important recording. If nothing else; Cooder is still one of
the best guitar players in the
business. His combination of
Norteno, gospel, and Hawaiian
music on Chicken Skin may not
be exciting, but you have to admire his taste in material and the
finely-crafted arrangements.

Evergreen, Swiss Style.
by Stan Shore
According to Thomas Jefferson, the price of freedom is constant diligence, but Alain Tanner,
the Swif;S-French director of Jonab Who Will Be 25 In The Year
2000, may think that something
less somber is required.
His new film details the lives
of eight acquaintances - each
eccentric, in their late 20's or 30's
and eaar dlidieafed ttdiVing 'theft J .
lives according to their own
ideals: a red-haired secretary for
a Swiss bank, who takes frequent
trips abroad and believes fervently in Tantric sex; a proofreader and disillusioned activist
named Max who loves roulette;
Mathieu the typesetter who tells
a prospective employer: "I am
labor - you are capital. "
This funny and encouraging
film has Jean Jacques Rousseau
as its patron saint. His statue is
shown periodically as the characters move around Geneva and its
suburbs. Rousseau believed that
left to himself man was a good
and noble animal, that society
corrupted . The eight people in
the film - none of them about
to amount to much by conventional standards - seem the kind
of people Rousseau might have
had in mind.

erything seemed like it was on
the verge of changing. And now:
nothing is different . So they live
oddly, just a little out of synch,
bouncirlg through the film and
through life.
There's Mari, a grocery clerk
who does not charge pensioners
the full price of their groceries
since they could not afford them
otherwise. The result: old people
line up ~" front of her check-out
stand, and, eventually, she is
fired.
Cinematically, the film is tight,
carefully controlled and beautiful. When the characters fanta size, their fantasies are shown in
black and white. It is a fine
touch, not terribly original. But
what is indicative of Tanner's
optimism is that in the course of
the movie most of the fantasies
are fulfilled ; having been seen
first in black and white, they are
seen again, for real, in color.
Most people seem to think that
there is a direct correlation between a film's intelligence and its
joylessness. Therefore, an idiotic
film like Taxi Driver is considered intelligent, since nothing
could be less cheerful. Well, Jonah should lay this idea to rest
once and for all : it is intelligent
and joyful. Evergreeners in particular - we are an odd assortment also - should enjoy seeing
this film.

"Time is like a sausage," he explains to an astonished class. '
There's Marcel. the farmer who
cares more about animals than
people. "Whales love music," he
explains to a prospective employee.
The plot which draws these
oddballs together is thin, but it
" d?"n't ma1ter:" Max finds out
' tnat sollie ' real 'estatl!" specUlators'
are about to buy up farmland
outside Geneva at unfair prices.
He ' journeys to the countryside
to warn people and meets Marcel
and the others who live close by.
Halfway through the film
Mathieu and his wife decide to
have a child, and the eight zanies
decide at dinner to name him
"Jonah." Since the film is contemporary, it means that Jonah
will be 25 in the year 2000. Jonah himself and the year are important markers for the people in
the film : the year 2000 marks the
future , and Jonah our emergence
into it .
The people in the film have
funny ideas about Time: they
are impatient, disgusted, overly
patient, " or cosmic in their approaches. But no one just leaves
it alone . They can't. It's against
their religion or politics. It's also
against their age . In the 1960's,
Max explains at one point, ev-

Living on campus is great: You're close to the action and school is just
a short walk away. However, we think you'll find that living at ASH is
even better. School is still just a couple of minutes away but the atmosphere here is anything but school. It feels like home. At ASH, the humdrum routine fades away as you relax in comfortable surroundings. In
fact, once you move in, you may never want to live anywhere else in
Olympia. It's that nice. And, there's enough room for you to have a small
gather ing of friends in your apartment. So come make your home at
ASH. It's the convenient place to live.

College president-select Dan Evans met
with students in a question and answer
session for an hour and a half during yesterday afternoon, January 19, in the library lobby.
For both the students and Evans the
meeting was the first real chance they had
to size each other up. The questions and
answers were largely repeats of the questions asked in an interview with the
COOPER POINT JOURNAL and KAOSFM on Friday, January 14 (see page 6),
but the mood was different.
Evans no doubt learned that Evergreen
students are often hostile towards the
school administration, and not overly respectful of traditional social status. In the
first question Evans was informed that the
president of Franconia college had a method of keeping in touch with students: he
works once a week in the school cafeteria.
Would Evans, the student wondered, be
willing to do the same? Evans was humorous and noncommittal in his reply.
A large number of questions concerned
the governance system at Evergreen. Two
complaints were heard: students don't
have deCision-making power; and students that are involved in Governance
don't represent the students which aren't
involved.
EVANS
For students trying to draw an impression of the future president a few things
became clear:
- Evans is a ' clear and intelligent
speaker.
- Evans has no answers to student
governance or curriculum.
- Evans draws often on his experience
as governor as a model to give depth to
his understanding of college problems.
Evans also tended to view problems in
terms of two conflicting needs: that curriculum must be flexible e~ough to keep
Evergreen an "alternative," as opposed to
the idea that curriculum must be standardized enough to allow students security
in planning their college goals . He also
mentioned the conflict between Evergreen
as an "alternative school" for the whole
state and as a local school for southwestern Washington. But he affirmed, " If Evergreen becomes very much like the other
institu tions of education then there would
be little reason to continue its existence . . "
COLLECTIVE BARGAINING
In response to a question about faculty
collective bargaining, Evans stated, "I
would hope we would be able to work on
a higher level than just collective bargaining . . . The strength of .collective bargain-
ing is the ability to finally strike. . if
collective bargaining takes you to a strike
then there has to be the po'tential for pen alties. Here at Evergreen, I would hope
we're better and smarter than that and
could find some system that isn 't as gross
as collective bargaining ."
In response to a question about a proposed addition to the Social Contract forbidding discrimination because of "sexual
orientation, " Evans stated that although
he opposed discrimination against homo sexuals, he did not want to "add to the
laundry lis t delineatin g which groups cannot be discriminated against." In stead . he
suggested that the Social Contracts a 1ready forbids such discrimin a ti on in o th er
clauses.
Evans also fie lded questio ns about Native American demands. the presidential
search committee , the Board of Trus tees.
and President Charles McCann 's paid
sa bbatical.
He concluded by hoping that he and
students could gather again to discuss college issues in the future .

Oil-Black Tuxes and Slick GOV\Tns
by Brad Pokorny
Society Editor
Editor's note: COOPER POINT JOURNAL Society Editor Brad Pokorny attended the gala Inaugural Ball in Lacey on
Wednesday, January 12. Pokorny returned
with the follOwing report.
Men in oil-black tuxedos and barebacked women in slick strapless gowns
crowded around the ten-foot-high wooden
model of the Capitol dome. The newlyelected governor leaned against the white
enameled mock-up and penned out autographs. She laughed and listened and
made asides to her escort, David Jenkins,
an old Atomic Energy Commission aide.
She fielded the swarm like a queen bee.
This was inaugural balling. We'd arrived late, missing the pageant of flags
and the other military operations staged
by the Army . It was a champagne toast,
and 2,300 persons stood around in the
Capital Pavilion in Lacey, holding high
gold-plated plastic champagne glasses, the
kind with the stems that come apart for
easy storage.
Nothing is really formal any more.
Sure, there were a lot of J:\eat-fitting rental
jobs with tasteful red roses pinned to satin
lapels, and cummerbunds, even, but there
were some slobs too. Guys in jeans and
gravy-stained corduroy jackets, with
square-bottomed knit ties dangling over
dark moire button-down sports shirts.
Many of the younger women came in high
school prom retreads. You can get by
with anything these days. Dixy Lee Ray
wore an emerald green synthetic potato
sack. It had embroidery on the wide collars, and the design slyly streamlined her
potbelly so that it was hardly noticeable.
Only the Army officers from Fort Lewis
looked really sharp. Decked out in spiffy
waistcoats with gold braid epaulets, they
sported proud chests plastered with shiny
Christmas. decorations.
Nobody knows how to dance any more
either. Or maybe everyone was just
smashed. People tried, though . Dowdy
state workers, trying to dance out their
money's worth on the $3S-a-pair tickets,
did things that looked vaguely like the
twist, to the orchestra's version of Tuxedo
Juhction. Couples flopped around on the
ersatz dance floor like hydrocarbonsoaked seagulls, trying to hold drinks in
their hands at the same time . Plastic Collins glasses smashed into splintery pieces
if you waltzed into some clumsy oaf.
Only the older couples really knew
what they were doing. With wispy grey
hair, they graced the dance floor as little
oases of Arthur Murray confidence, blissfully lost in reminiscence of an ancient
veterans' ball .
But what can you expect from an Inaugural held in a basketball gymnasium 7
The Capital Pavilion is the Saint Martin's
College sports arena. They tried to hide
the place by hanging spruce boughs from
the backboards and lining left-Clver yule
trees along the cold cement walls. Something like the fig-leaf effect - you pray
there isn't a strong wind. A few touches
showed some foresight. Someone sprinkled
dance wax on the court, covering the free
throw lines and all, ready to lubricate the
flashing feet of the ball-gaers.
Max Pillar and his Orchestra listlessly
whacked out all the old favorites . In a
blue show tux, Max played Lawrence
Welk, announcing the tunes into a micro-
.phone on a stand which he fondled nicely.
The band played competently. but the female singer, who looked 40 with a facelift, tried to harmonize with her own pen tatonic versions of the songs.
The real high point of the evening was
when Max came on with a cha-cha . Dixy
had already left, waltzing across the floor
to a sneaky back-door exit. Her aides had
clustered tightly around her, whisking her
away to a night of mystery . . But by
the time the band broke into its cheap
Latin beat, the plastic glasses were piled
high on the crepe-draped corners of the
bandstand, and the Olympians were feel ing rowdy enough to line up in a hipclutching centipede, and cha-cha-cha their
way across the dance floor .
We left after that , speeding back to our
cloister in the woods. Another excursion
into the bizarre Olympia social scene, and
we'd come back alive. God, only four
more years until the next inaugural.
All I wanna know is : Was it always
like this, or were there really huge gala
ballrooms with plaster cherubs on the ceiling?
