Five New Ways to Raise Your Tuition
hours .
- reduce the ratio of student-t eachin g
assista ots to faculty .
- increase placement services .
M ost of these guidelines have been
institutional philosophy at Evergreen since
its first year . Evergreen gives credit for
experience outside school, offers individual contracts, the faculty are relati vel y
acces s ibl e, and the school ha s fe w
teachin g assistant s.
A fou rth bill. , Bill 312, is simila r to BIll
370 in that it wo uld adjust tuitio n to the
cost of inst ructio n, but it lacks most of
the other prov isions a nd wo uld retain th e
present tu it ion and fees syst em .
Govern or Ray has also introd uced a
fifth bill whI ch wo uld also set tuit Ion to
educational cost s. Governor Ray' s b ill
would also set 25 percent of the tUIti on
aside fo r financial aid.

CORPORATION PLANS
T wo miles north of the clean
w hite Evergreen laboratory , across a stretch of water and mud
fl at. pa st the old dike , the
smokestack of a DuPont chemical plant is clearly visible above
the trees . It is there that Weyerhause r wants to build a huge
dock for shipping its products to
Japan and Europe . DuPont is

discontinuing use of the small
plant - which empl o yed only
150 people - and the small dock
where high explos ives were
shipped out twice a year.
A mile north. past a small
oyster company , Burlington
Northern railroad wants to build
an industrial park and deepwater port. The idea of a
deep-water port and some kind
of industrial development has
been talked about by the Port of
Olympia - which has had responsibility for the area since
1949.
It is not because of a vast
environmental conspiracy that
two monolithic corporations
want to build deep-water shipping facilities within a stone's
throw of the refuge, according to
Ulmschneider.
Instead , the
reason is something called the
Nisqually Reach, where just off
the Delta, the water depth drops
quickly to 200 feet . Thi s,
combined with the strong currents which dredge the bottom
aut o matically , make the area
ar o und Nisqually ideal for a
port.
At the present time Burlington
Nor thern , w hose industrial park
site is in Thurston County, is
trying to get the area permanently zoned "urban ", it s temporary designation since 1970. The
nex t hearing on the matter
before the Thurston County
Planning Commission is February 23, according to Ulmschneider. Burlington's opponents
want the area zoned "ruraL "
Th e sh oreli ne, near the indus trial park sit e. is presently
zoned "rural. " Burlington Northe rn wa nt s It changed to match
th e o ther zoning to "urban ."
To the north, Weyerhauser
already has the correct urban
zoning, in Pierce County . It is
now beginning to plan an
environmental impact statement
for the area, which will have to
be reviewed by a multitude of
state agencies, including the
Department of Ecology .

Weyerhauser has not released
any final plans for the area,
saying only that it wants to
begin by building a large dock
and might later want to build
manufacturing facilities - possibly a pulp mill. Environmentalists, who are skeptical of
Weyerhauser's intentions, claim
that it has not announced its
long-term plans because it fears
the public reaction .
"Weyerhauser claims they can
build a pollution-free pulp mill ,"
Ulmschneider explains. "But just
because they say they will
doesn't mean that they wilL ..
Also , there's always been pollution from ships at port - the
construction of the dock itself
will cause s ilt to cover the
marsh es. It will disturb the
ducks . If there's a ship crash it
would spill oil and gasoline that
w ould effect the marshes. "
" Tacoma , " she continued,
"was once an estuary, where
birds stopped on their migration
south - it was the mouth of the
Puyallup River . But like most
estuaries which have been filled
or drained, no birds ever stop
there now . The same is true of

Seattle: they were part of what's
called the Pacific Flyway, the
estuaries where migrating birds
stop to feed and rest. Now the
birds go straight from Skagit,
north of Seattle, to here. "
The interpretation center
presently has a display of stuffed
animals, many done by Ulmschneider, and a slide show on
marsh vegetation, as well as a
small library of research reports
- some done by Evergreen
academic programs - about the
delta.
INTERPRET A TlON '
Ulmschneider is planning to
expand the display exhibits and
slide show, as well as open up
the interpretation center to grade
school children .
"Within the next couple of
weeks the first school "lass will
come out here as a field trip,"
she explained "It will probably
be the sixth grade class from
Jefferson Elementary School in
Olympia ."
"There's a threat to the delta,"
she continued, "and this center
will help to inform more people
about the problem - so when

Literary magazine founders are
like salm on, it has been said,
who lay their creations at our
footstep and then swim off
somewhere to die .
At Evergreen the old adage
seems to be true . A whole
succession o f literary small
magazines have been published
once or twice only to disappear :
Frost, Rainroots, Demiurge, and
London Fog.
To solve this problem fourthyear student Daniel Hathaway
received S and A funding for a
group called PRESS, which is
supposed to serve as an "umbl ella" for a number of different
publising ventures.
Ri ght now, Hathaway admit s

azine he hopes to publish this
spring, is the only thing standing
under PRESS's umbrella.
"The magazine will be divided
into four parts ," Hathaway
explains. "Education, environment, aesthetics, and something
we're calling inscape , The first
three will be essays and the last
category what people call 'creative' work : art, photographs.
They should all be creative ,
though - I'm not interested in
collections of ,h ard dry facts for
the essays."
Another literary publication
centered at Evergreen is the
Penny Press, which is an "openformat" publication . The content
is not censored or edited .

In the meantime, the estuary is
a beautiful site to ' visit, with
fishing in McAllister Creek, and
lots of birds to watch, according
to Ulmschneider.
"The mud is dangerous ,

Northern site, Ulmschneider recommends they contact the Nisqually Delta Association which
has fought the building of deep
water ports in the area since
1966.

agrees with such an approach,
stressing instead that the quality
of the work must be the
determining factor in publication .
"At Evergreen there are a lot
of people who are semi-literate,
with only a sixth grade reading
ability , " Hathaway remarked.
.. As a result people are attracted
to cosmic and esoteric philosophies that don't require a person to
formulate their thoughts well."
The magazine's statement of
purpose explains : "We are not
interested in the wholesale expression and abuse of images
and emotions. "
Although TETRAHEDRON ,
which is now accepting manuscripts, is the only publication
Hathaway is now working on,
his plans are more ambitious.

College students from around the state
were frustrated on Tuesday, February 14,
when a ' proposed rally against tuition
hikes fizzled into a disorganized meetyour-legislator day . About 100 students
gathered in the capitol reception room for
a n o rganizational meeting at 10 : 15
Tuesday morning, many having traveled
a hundred miles or more, some by bus,
and most uncertain exactly why they had
come .
At the meeting Michael Sparks , a
lobbyist for the State College Council ,
along with several student body leaders,
suggested that the students would make
mo re progress with the legislators if they
sp o k e to them personally instead of
demonstrating. One student described it
as a pep talk, with the leaders telling
them to "go out and get 'em." .
Some students seemed disappointed by
the lack of a demonstration . One Western
State College student remarked, ''I'd heard
that Evergreen State College was going to
have 1,000 people out here today ." It was
rumored that some students considered
storming the Senate chambers.
To a large extent the rally failed
because the students were uninformed and
unorganized . Five bills dealing with
tuition increases are currently in the
House . Many students tried to spend the
day listening to legislators explain the bills
and the advantages of each . But for much
o f the afternoon legis\;!tors were in
caucu s, and students were unable to speak
with them . Late in the day , a student
from Wash ington State University
remarked, "We learned how frustrating it
is to talk with senators. "
THE BIllS
Four of the five bills are sponsored by
the same three people. All are members of
the House Higher Education Committee:
Rep . Phyllis Erickson, chairwoman of the
committee, Rep. Rod Chandler, and Rep.
Alan Thompson . Erickson said they
introduced four different bills so that all
options might be explored . She thought
that perhaps a composite bill would
result. "There certainly is no one bill that
we are looking at now," she said ,
House Bills 289, 311 , and 370, the first
three bills, would revamp the entire

THE REASONS
system of higher education financing,
providing "a comprehensive policy on the
financial support of higher education ."
These three bills all establish a single
tuition fee , separate from the Services and
Activities fee , and each bill provides a
"manpower shortage " section , which
allows the school to waive up to 40
percent of the tuition for a student who is
pursuing a program of study designed to
tra in him or her for a field designated as a
manpower shortage area .
These bill s would al so create , a
statewide financial aid committee under
the Council for Post-secondary Educatio n
(CPE l, with the expressed intent that
"every state student" should ha ve the
opportunity to pursue an education .
Bill 289 would raise the tuition by an
arbitrary amount , and then adjust the
tuition to a student's parental income . A
student with a low parental income would
pay 12, 24, or 50 percent of the standard
tuition , which for a full-time resident at a
s tate college would be $1 93 .10 per
quarter . Full-t ime res ident Evergreen
student s c urrently pa y $169.00 pe r
quarter .
Bill 311 would tie tu itio n to the average
wage in Washington, with the beginning
levels b ased on the average wage for 1976
and the current tu ition costs , The tuition
yvould be computed each biennium from a

wage level determined by th, Department
of Empl oyment Security.
Bill 370 would set tuiti. , directly to the
cost of instruction . Edul·.ltlon costs-per·5tudent would be establ.,hed bIenniall y
and would includ e , uch item s as
instruction cost, library servi ces, student
servi ces, administrati on costs, and plant
maintenance and o peratio ns. Tuition for a
full-time resident Evergreen student wou ld
be 20 percent of the cos t of instru ctJO n.
Students at other sta te colleges paid 17.2
percent of their educa ti onal cos ts in '1 975,
a cc ord in g to th e C PE . Eve rgree ne rs,
beca use of hi gher educa tio nal cos ts, pa id
only 10.9 percen t. However, Bill 370
would lImit our tuiti on to no t mo re tha n
that paid a t the University of Wa shington , thu s tuiti o n w o uld go up to
approx im a tely $206 .00 per qu a rter.
All three of th ese bills also provide a
section that tells institutions of higher
edu cati o n t o b e m o re responsive to'
student needs. Colleges and universities
would be required to :
- award credit fo r de mo n strated
competence w ithout registration fo r a
course.
- pro vide extensio n or correspondence
courses.
- all o w individuali ze d s tud y o n a
variable time option.
- ma x imize s tudent - fa culty co nt act

Re p . Ro d Chandler . one of th e
co-sponsors of the four House bills, was
almost apol ogetic about the bills . He
considered tuition increases a negative
thing that "nobody wants to do ." But he
felt that it was unfair for the taxpayers
al o ne to bear the rising costs of
education. "Higher education is something
th a t gives the individual an advantage in
the market place," he said, "and that
o pp o rtunit y should be availabl e to
everyone , but the benefiting individual
should share some of the cost. "
Rep . Art Moreau , another member of
the Ho use Higher Ed uca tio n Comm Ittee,
ex plained that the tuitio n increase has
been building up over the last five or six
yea rs. "Students believe they have held it
off ," he said, "but if it doesn't happen thi s
year it 's go ing to happen next year , and it
will be even more then ."
A number of public hearings are
scheduled in the next two weeks . One is
scheduled especially for students o n
Saturday, February 26, in House OHi u
Building room 431 at 10 a.m. Erickson
suggested that students come prepared
with short presentations to allow as many
students as possible to present their views .
She also asked that repetition be kept to a
minimum by arriving at the beginning of
the meeting and paying close attention,

Rape Prevention In Action
.,

by Patti Dobrowolski
Last year fourteen reported rapes ·and
thirtee n other sexua I offenses were
committed against women in Thurston
County. Since the first of this year, one
rape and five se xual offenses have
occurred wjthin a one-mile radius of
Evergreen . No one has been apprehended
in any of these a c ts. Due to ,the
ever-present rape and exhibitionist probl e m s in and around th e college ,
concerned women have founded a Rape
Prevention program for men and women
against rape .
This program involves va rious security
system s at the co llege and in the
O verhulse Road, Westside, Eastside, and
Steamboat Island areas. "Through these
systems we receive the needed support
from each other and through that
support, feel safety ," says Aaron Clear,
one of the founding members of the Rape
Prevention program.
On campus, active participants have set
up an escort system in the dorms and
ASH apartments for women who need
a companion when Security is unavailable
to walk them home , Ken Jacobs, from
Campus Housing, is planning to offer
guest rooms for women who· are unable
to find a ride home and need a place to
stay overnight . For women and men who
prefer to walk safely to school with their

pets, there are dog kennels behind the lab
building . Security suggests that students
bring locks for the kennels, as sympathetic passers-by may feel they are doing
justice to the dogs in releaSing them , and
apprehension may be th.e result .

Posted outside of the Women's Center
is a ride board for women who are
offering or are in need of rides and
walking / hitchhiking partners, followed by
a list of suspi cious persons and vehicles to
, be wa ry of. Among the descriptions on

the list is that of the latest exhibitionist :
ApprOXimately 5'8", short blond to light
brown hair, in his late twenties, driving a
dark blue, foreign-made station wagon.
This "flasher's" procedure is to stoop
down by- the rear tire of his car until a
woman walks or bikes into viewing range
and then stands up and masturbates at
her. He then speeds from the scene of the
crime. Security has asked people to watch
for this car and person in an attempt to
get a license plate number to assist them
in the apprehension of the criminal.
Rape Prevention 's o ff-campu s sa feguard s include an immediate phone
notification system to alert houses in the
areas in the event of an emergency or
potential dangers at hand .
"Block Hou ses" are being ass igned
monthly to a h o usehold in ea ch
coo perating neighborh o od . The dut ies
include responsibility for making the first
major phone calls to other neighborhoods
in Olympia , and to assure that the
existing systems are running sm oothly .
For the households who support Rape
Prevention, "STOP RAPE" stickers have
been printed for posting on their houses,
to assure women who are in dange rous
situa tions that upon entering that house
they will receive assistance . T hese signs
are available upon reques t and interview
in the Women's Center.

Alth ough Rape Preventi o n at Evergreen
stresses the a wareness of the potential
dangers th at exist for women in walking
and hitchhiking alone, they are also
concerned with self-defense and assertiveness-training for all females. On Februa ry
19th , Rape Reltef of Olympia is
sponsoring a self-defense and asserti veness
-training worksh op ,- taught by the Rape
Preventi o n Forum from Se a ttl e. Th e
workshop runs fro m 1 to 4 p .m . a t the

fight against rape need the assista nce of

new ed ucational theories.
There is a further problem
here: For many of these people,
the initial disadvantage of not
having been taught phonics is
further complicated by years of
experience with overworked or
under-concerned teachers who
"pass the buck" - that is, defer
responsibility to some o ther
teacher, some other year. There
is a ls o much ev id ence of
"intellect ua l elitism" on the part
of many peers, as well as on the
part of many teachers and
admin istrators of the same system wh ich helped to produce
these people's difficulties. This
elitism is evidenced by the fact
that remedial education is given
sideline priority - that is students are expected to catch up
on anywhere from two to ten
years of education (not to
mention undo the same time's
wort h of poor. habits and
emot iona l defenses) while they
pursue a full co llege load. Some
of these people are pulling twice
the load that an ordinary student
has to ca rry.
And lest there be anyone
lurking in the bushes waiting to
poun ce on Evergreen and its
admissions standards, this problem is indeed nationwide. Colleges across the country are ins titutin g progra'Tl s similar to
C-D RAW and the College Entrance Examination Board will be
re-instituting the English Composition sec tion in SAT'S and
ACT'S , so severe has . his
problem become. The question
should not be asked, "How did
these people get into Evergreen?"
(They paid - and for a "product" which many of them aren't
getting) Nor even, "How did
they get into college?" Rather the

To the Editor:
We, the undersigned, find the
options available to creative
film-makers at Evergreen inadequate. Every project involving 16mm film is overseen by
Dr. Robert Barnard, whose time
is usurped by many other
responsibilities. We feel that
none of the existing faculty
supplies the professional and
artistic support tha! is necessary
for our creative endeavors.
Beginning students are taken

care of, learning terms and
principles of motion picture
photography, but once familiarized, are in want of a continuing
education. As it is today,
students who have had several
years of fi l ~ ed ucation and
experience are sitting side by side
with beginning st udertts, lacking
any alternative. Attendance at
th ese primary classes is prerequisite to equipment access, as
it is assumed to be the only way
to ensure that students a re
capable to handle the expensive
and fragile equ ipment. Experienced students are stifled by this
present system. There has been
no established criteria regarding
equipment access that takes into
consideration the fact th at there
are existing students who deserve
use of the equipment without
having to waste their time and
money enrolling in classes w hich
cover material they are already
familiar with .
We propose the following
item s as changes which are
necessary to insure a creatively
productive film program at
Evergreen:
A) There is a vital need for a
fu ll-time creative film-maker in
a faculty position who has had
professiona l dramatic film-making experience . This can also be
said for television production .
B) It is of the utmost
importance that students in film
and television production have a
decisive voice in the hiring of
any faculty to insure student l
faculty compatibility.
C ) We propose that a student
film board which would delegate
th e eq uipment according to
standard guidelines be instigated
by next qu ar te r . This board
should be overseen by a full -time
facu lt y with a paia student
assistant, or a full-time staff
person with extensive film-making experience .
D ) Like all precision machines,

proper maintenance at regular
intervals . Lack of this is beginning to show effect. It is
imperative that the equipment,

Two weeks ago on February 3, thirty people staged
an action at the Air Force Band appearance at
Evergreen. Since then a number of criticisms have
been levelled a t the organizers, the major ones being:
1) why the fuss, it's just a band appearance, 2) you
a ntagon ized a lot of people, 3) you shouldn't have
been so confrontational, and 4) you gave the school a
bad name.
Fi rst, what was the issue7 Many of us were very
upset when we learned that the USAF Band was
com ing to Evergreen to perform . We didn't view ii as
just a ny old band, but · instead recognized it as an
integral part of the military's attempt to wage an
effective public relations campaign both at home and
abroad.
According to Sen. Bill Proxmire, the Pentagon
spends over $47 million each year on displays and
exhib itions of military hardware, as well as "cultural
events" such as the concert on February 3. The Office
of Informat ion for the Armed Forces alone spends $12
million yearly to operate 350 radio and TV stations
throughout the world, in addition to producing 50
films, 400 ,000 posters, a nd 8 .5 million copies of
70-odd publications. This particular office also
provides articles and photos for some 1,500
newspapers run by the military.
This massive propaganda effort is intended to
obscure and mystify the actual role of the U.S.
military. This is particularly important because of the
growing unhappiness of the American people over the
size a nd expense of the armed forces and the nature of
it s actions throughout the wo rld . The campaign is

To the Editor:
The TESC Veterans Association is increasingly becoming
aware of the lack of s tudent
part icipation in student affairs.
We, as a semi-organized mob,
are very guilty of this charge.
Our lack of participation certainly gives us no room to
criticize those groups who demonstrat e against forces outside
the Evergreen Community, but
we're beginning to realize that
we must act against forces that
do affect us personally.

"their" military . Even worse, it brings them to the
point of overlooking completely the primary purpose
and function of the U.S . military: the protection of
U. S. corporate interests overseas .
For the Vietnamese people, however, there was
little mystification . The Air Force was clearly not an
air show at a state fair or even an evening of classical
music. Instead it was the onslaught of destructive
firepower beyond the comprehension of mqst of the
folks reading this column. We chose to protest this
"cultural event" because we recognize that the Air
Force Band is an inseparable part of the general
program of the U.S . military.
How were we going to bring this issue into public
arena for debate and discussion7 We explored two
major options: 1) total disruption to the event and
refusal to allow it to happen , and 2) an educational
effort during or before the event which would ".lIow it
to continue. We realized that by exercising either ot
these options we faced the danger of antagonizing our
audience .
We were all opposed to "unnecessary" antagonism,
yet realized that a certain amount of antagonism will
accompany any political activity, particularly when
that activity is confrontational in nature . It is through
confrontation that people are forced to face issu es and
clarify their respective positions on them. Though this
thought is contrary to the va lues that many of us
were brought up with , it is accurate, nevertheless.
In o rder to avoid unnecessary a ntagonism , we
decided to drop the disruptive approach for the
educa tional l confrontational strategy. This meant we
would do a forceful presentation of our position that
neither th e band nor the audience co uld possibly
ignore, yet would still allow the band to play . We
recognized that there was still bound to be negative
reaction to this stategy, but felt that to do less would
be to fall into the trap set by those whose fears of
being confronta tional lead them to a position of
essential non-ac tion.
Having formulated our strategy, the question of
tactics fe ll into place fairly eas ily - the eventua l plan
resembling an unscheduled multi-media presentation.
To conclude, we want to offer a brief critique of
Thursday's actio n.
We think we did upset a number of peop le,
parti cularly those who felt their freedom to lis ten to
the ba nd has been infringed upon . I do n't feel ,
however , that this could have been substanti ally
. avoided without nega tin g the purpose of our act ion that is, confro nting people with the broader purposes
o f the A ir Force Band . As to the question of fr eedo m ,

The tuition hike and President McCann's leave bonus are
two specific instances. Also, there
are two bills now under consideration in the Washington State
Legislature that would abolish
the tuition waiver for South East
Asia veterans.
There are several student
services that are in jeopardy due
to a lack of money. Health
Services, the Rec building, and
Counseling to name a few. At
the winter S & A Board meeting
the total proposa l for funding
student activities was just over
$67,000. That's for everyth ing to
be fully funded. But everything
couldn't be fully funded because
there wasn't enough money.
However, there seems to be
enough money to give President
McCann $69,000 for a two-year
leave which he will spe nd
studying management. which is
exac tly what he has been
practicing here for the last eight
yea rs; and then we also seem to
have a spa re $2,500 lying
around to fund President-Elect
Evans to break into the presidency via Londonl
Where does this institution
sta nd7 Is it her e to benefit
students, or is it here to benefit
administrators?

We, as st ud e nt s, are now
c0nfronted with the threat of the
tuition hike . Why? Is it to pay
more ad mini strators to stay
away from here, or wi ll these
additiona l funds be used to
benefit us as students? If we
could assume that th e extra
tuition wou ld be used to benefit
students then -Ne would have no
ob ject ion to a tuition increase,
but the recent display of
irresponsib ility to the students
by the Board of Trustees in what
we conceive to be undemocratic
procedures, and their misuse of
educational monies, leads us to
believe that if students do no t
begin to act in their own best
interest, then no one else will!
We suggest that a ll veterans and
students join together to fight the
tuition increase. T ax indu stry ,
not students!

Americans often tend to view freedom as the right to
refuse to get "involved, " which is in actuality simply
the refusal to acknowledge one's unavoidable
involvement in the world around us, the refusaf to
acknowledge one's r~sponsibilities to society.
We think we may have contributed to some
people's negative attitudes about Evergreen, just as we
may have contributed to other people's positive
impressions, though probably not as !'lany. The
question seems to be the extent to which one
compromises one's political and social beliefs in order
to protect an institution of the state, which in this
case happens to have a number of progressive
features. There is no doubt that on-campus criticism
of recent Board of Trustees decisions has played into
the hands of Evergreen's chronic critics on Capitol
Hill and around the state; but are the alternatives to
take no action at all, or restrain our actions to the
point of ineffectiveness? We think not. Neither then
should our concern for Evergreen's image cause us to
fail to take equally controversial actions on issues of
national and international importance .
We think that on the whole the action had many
positive results. It got people taiking about the
military, about the role of military bands and other
ideological devices, about the issue of confrontational
politics, cla rifying and grasping arguments . shifting
positions as new understanding takes root.
This has particularly been the case w It hin' ht gro up
of organizers, where much political growth ., :curred
during the planning, actio n, and cril iquing process.
We developed a greater understa nding of the need for
political action, actio n that confronts people a t
fundamental levels. We realize that such action is
difficult to pull off, and will bring dow n on one's
head much criticism. We recognize above all that to
fail to act ively cha ll enge the forces of oppression and
exploitation around us, particularly their more subt le
forms, is to lend our tacit support to the status quo.
We look forward to meeting in the near future with
o thers who share our concern, as the band is
schedul ed to return to Evergreen on April 12.

There is a further problem
here: For many of these people,
the initial disadvantage of not
having been taught phonics is
further complicated by years of
experience with overworked or
under-concerned teachers who
"pass the buck" - that is, defer
responsibility to some o ther
teacher, some other year. There
is a ls o much ev id ence of
"intellect ua l elitism" on the part
of many peers, as well as on the
part of many teachers and
admin istrators of the same system wh ich helped to produce
these people's difficulties. This
elitism is evidenced by the fact
that remedial education is given
sideline priority - that is students are expected to catch up
on anywhere from two to ten
years of education (not to
mention undo the same time's
wort h of poor. habits and
emot iona l defenses) while they
pursue a full co llege load. Some
of these people are pulling twice
the load that an ordinary student
has to ca rry.
And lest there be anyone
lurking in the bushes waiting to
poun ce on Evergreen and its
admissions standards, this problem is indeed nationwide. Colleges across the country are ins titutin g progra'Tl s similar to
C-D RAW and the College Entrance Examination Board will be
re-instituting the English Composition sec tion in SAT'S and
ACT'S , so severe has . his
problem become. The question
should not be asked, "How did
these people get into Evergreen?"
(They paid - and for a "product" which many of them aren't
getting) Nor even, "How did
they get into college?" Rather the
question should be posed, "How
did these people get through high
school without receiving the help
they need?" The need for
remedial education at Evergreen
is symptomatic of something that
has gone wrong in the educational system as a whole.
Anyone who abstracts it from
that context is losing the real
issue in pettiness ; anyone who
abstracts it from that context or
. who decides just to ignore it and I

or pass it on is simply furthering the problem.

two specific instances. Also, there
are two bills now under consideration in the Washington State
Legislature that would abolish
the tuition waiver for South East
Asia veterans.
There are several student
services that are in jeopardy due
to a lack of money. Health
Services, the Rec building, and
Counseling to name a few. At
the winter S & A Board meeting
the total proposa l for funding
student activities was just over
$67,000. That's for everyth ing to
be fully funded. But everything
couldn't be fully funded because
there wasn't enough money.
However, there seems to be
enough money to give President
McCann $69,000 for a two-year
leave which he will spe nd
studying management. which is
exac tly what he has been
practicing here for the last eight
yea rs; and then we also seem to
have a spa re $2,500 lying
around to fund President-Elect
Evans to break into the presidency via Londonl
Where does this institution
sta nd7 Is it her e to benefit
students, or is it here to benefit
administrators?

We, as st ud e nt s, are now
c0nfronted with the threat of the
tuition hike . Why? Is it to pay
more ad mini strators to stay
away from here, or wi ll these
additiona l funds be used to
benefit us as students? If we
could assume that th e extra
tuition wou ld be used to benefit
students then -Ne would have no
ob ject ion to a tuition increase,
but the recent display of
irresponsib ility to the students
by the Board of Trustees in what
we conceive to be undemocratic
procedures, and their misuse of
educational monies, leads us to
believe that if students do no t
begin to act in their own best
interest, then no one else will!
We suggest that a ll veterans and
students join together to fight the
tuition increase. T ax indu stry ,

Americans often tend to view freedom as the right to
refuse to get "involved, " which is in actuality simply
the refusal to acknowledge one's unavoidable
involvement in the world around us, the refusaf to
acknowledge one's r~sponsibilities to society.
We think we may have contributed to some
people's negative attitudes about Evergreen, just as we
may have contributed to other people's positive
impressions, though probably not as !'lany. The
question seems to be the extent to which one
compromises one's political and social beliefs in order
to protect an institution of the state, which in this
case happens to have a number of progressive
features. There is no doubt that on-campus criticism
of recent Board of Trustees decisions has played into
the hands of Evergreen's chronic critics on Capitol
Hill and around the state; but are the alternatives to
take no action at all, or restrain our actions to the
point of ineffectiveness? We think not. Neither then
should our concern for Evergreen's image cause us to
fail to take equally controversial actions on issues of
national and international importance .
We think that on the whole the action had many
positive results. It got people taiking about the
military, about the role of military bands and other
ideological devices, about the issue of confrontational
politics, cla rifying and grasping arguments . shifting
positions as new understanding takes root.
This has particularly been the case w It hin' ht gro up
of organizers, where much political growth ., :curred
during the planning, actio n, and cril iquing process.
We developed a greater understa nding of the need for
political action, actio n that confronts people a t
fundamental levels. We realize that such action is
difficult to pull off, and will bring dow n on one's
head much criticism. We recognize above all that to
fail to act ively cha ll enge the forces of oppression and
exploitation around us, particularly their more subt le
forms, is to lend our tacit support to the status quo.
We look forward to meeting in the near future with
o thers who share our concern, as the band is
schedul ed to return to Evergreen on April 12.

'The Ethics Of Student-Faculty Sexual Relationships
by

~tt

Groening

One day I was leaning up against the
wall waiting for an appointment with my
faculty member, and one of the other
teachers in the program came up to me
and put his arm against the wall,
straight-armed, you know, like Woody
Allen in "Play It Again, Sam." He looked
at me awhile and said, "Yo.u sure have big
boobs." The funny thing was, I was 18
and I didn't have big boobs. I couldn't
believe it, and I was a little scared, having
been in coDege only a couple of months.
He said something like, "I find you
very attractive. Would you like to have a
little fun?" I refused, and he shrugged his
shoulders, saying, "WeD, it doesn't hurt
to ask."
A couple of weeks later
was
downtown in front of the Hallmark store
near Penney's, and the same guy stopped
right in front of me and said, "I hear from
a friend you have a crush on me." I
almost cracked up, but told him very
seriously, "Well, you heard wrong." He
asked me if I were still interested in his
original proposition, and I said no I
wasn't and if he didn't leave me alone, I
was going to tell my seminar leader, who
was a woman. And he never bothered
me after th'a t, except to leer, but then he
leered at everybody.
The thing that pisses me off about it,
besides the obvious sexism, is that the
faculty who have the guts to do it are so
egotistical. They feel their position as
faculty members makes them impressive
to "stupid, young females." It's not as if
they 're sexually attractive. The ones I
know who've propositioned women
students are ugly, milktoast wienies who
could never get it on in high school.
- Evergreen graduate, female

T he stories are familiar: the lecherous
professor seduces the innocent , wideeyed student, who gets an A for effort, or
the scheming student plots to enrapture
an un s uspecting teacher . For fiction
write rs; the theme of faculty-student sex is
an honored standby. Speculation on the
su bject . which starts as far back as
Socrates , s\ill rages on college campuses
today.
Questions on the subject of studentfacu lt y sex ual relationships obviously
cannot be answered conclusively. Few
sta tistics have appeared, and it is unlikely
that any reliable polls will be published in
the future . The evidence remains anecdo taL confined to rumor, gossip, novels,
and a n occasional public disclosure. Jobs,
marriages, pride, guilt, and professional
e thi cs are all ine xtricably linked to
studen t-faculty sexual involvement , and it
makes fo r a touchy subject indeed.
SAN FRANCISCO SEX SURVEY
I n the fall of 1973 Judith Nielson . a
reporter for the Phoenix, the campus
newspaper a t California State University
at Sa n Francisco, surveyed 600 faculty
members abo ut the aegree of their sexual
involvement with students. Of the ISO
teachers who did complete the survey,
about 50 per cent reported that they
wo uld have no affairs with students under
any circumstances. Forty said that they
had already been involved w ith students,
a nd a lmo s t as many indicated that
a lthough they h adn ' t yet s lept with
s tudent s. they would not refuse an
inviting o pportunity.
"I now give attractive students good
gra de s ," wr o te a female humanities
pro fesso r. "then suggest that they get in
tou ch w ith me next semester about
'som ethin g specifi c' ." A 30-year-old male
te a c he r wrote , " I entered into t h e
rela tionships to prove I could still do it. "
Se ven of the 32 wom en who responded to
the survey reported ho mosexua l relationships with students .
Ni elson warned in her articl" that the
find ings "cannot necessarily be ' construed
as a representative, valid indication of
behavior ." Even with this disclaimer her
survey was attacked. for inaccuracy.
Some persons were upset because Nielson
had only surveyed half the school's
fa culty in the first place, and they pointed
out the uncooperative responses ("unwelcome interference, " "impudent vulgarity" ), and the facetious replies ("We do
it in the filing cabinet, and now the
bo ttom drawer sticks ."). The chainnan of
th e journali sm department refu sed to

a llow a second piece on the survey to be
printed in the student newspaper, and
ex cept for a brief article about th e
controversy in Newsweek, the subject was
closed .

There's a lot of student-faculty sexual
infe raction here . I've had a lot of it
myself. It's a lot simpler for the students
than for the faculty members. The
students get temporary affairs, finish their
studies, and get out of here. But the
faculty have to hang around, protect
relationships with their wives, consider
the ethical code, and face their fellow
Evergreen cohorts. It's still a bargain at
twice the price.
Most of the male faculty members here
are too paranoid to say what they are
really thinking about sex, for fear of
attack by feminists. 50 they put on a
good front about women and equality
and not being sexist, and as a result their
sexual preferences are repressed.
- Evergreen student, female

In academic gossip over the years, the
traditional women's colleges, such as
Bennington and Vassar, were the most
likely spots for student-teacher copulation
to occur . According to the columnist
"A ristedes" in the fall 1975 issue of the
American Scholar, at these places "backs
were tactfully turned on the love affairs
between younger faculty men - teaching
assistants, for example, and instructors and their students , on the sensible premise
that such young men were presumably
shopping around for wives." On other
ca mpu ses , however , professors were
dismissed for such things as being too
explicit in biology courses, and Aristedes
reports that sex u a l disgrace drove a
famous literary scholar to suicide when it
was revealed that he was receiving
homosexual pornography throug h the
mails.
T he li asons went on, but both students
and teachers kept quiet abou t it because
of the grave consequences of exposure .
T hese days the sexual standards have
slipped a bit , however, a nd studentfaculty lovers are often carryi ng on affairs
with completely different expectations and
ethics, often unaware of their differing
a ttitudes. Faculty members w ho gamble
marriages , jobs. and reputations to carry
on illicit affairs w ith students, are often
oblivious to the candid confessions of
their secret lovers to fascinated roommates
back at the dorms . Some students brag
about their "conquests," and a few openly
plot the seduction of a favorite teacher,
and give frequent "progress" reports. One
female Evergreen graduate claIms unhappily that she was propositioned by every
male facu lty member she had in college.
Female students have even reported to
their book seminars some of the
propositions they have received, which
were greeted with laughter and ridicule.
Th e "seduction " techniques , such as
offering brandy to the student during her
evaluation conference, are discussed with
a mixture of wonder and contempt.
Names, of course, are named .

I was IS-years-old and I got involved
with my 32-year-old high school biology
teacher. I was very lonely and he was just
getting divorced. He confided ' in me,
which made me feel important and
mature. My ego was boosted by his
status, and it set me apart from my peers,
which made me feel superior. I was so
caught up in my desires that I never
stopped to investigate his motives.
Of course, if our affair had been
discovered he would have been fired and I
would have been kicked out of school, so
I didn't tell any of my friends, and
became very isolated. One day, the
teacher told me in a very insensitive way
that he had slept with my best friend,
which devastated me. I had become so
preoccupied with having "achieved" ,t he
relationship that I was totally vulnerable,
which would not have been the case if I
had been involved with someone my own
age.
Once the relationship ended I began
examining my own motives. I was
attracted to an older man to bypass the
experiences of growing up, and it gave me
a sense of security to be with someone
who had already gone through that.
After this experience I went to the
opposite extreme and became exclusively
interested in boys my age . And that's
why, after coming to Evergreen, I've
turned down propositions by faculty
members and have never had a crush on
one. But the feelings I had at IS are very
similar to the feelings of women at
Evergreen who get involved with male
faculty members.
There are definite' advantages to being
involved with an older man, but you
often end up depriving yourself of your
own methods of emotional survival. If
you're involved with someone who makes
$20,000 a year, you don't have to go
through the crisis, for instance, of looking
for that first job.
I have friends' who are involved with
faculty who are very happy, but our
friendship has grown more distant. Most
of them can't feel comfortable around
student friends, but that happens with
most couples, anyway . They're all
mimicking maturity, a somber and boring
tone of adulthood. I'm 20, and I like
being young and having fun. I~ seems
crazy to strive to be more reserved and
calculated.
- EverR:reen student, female

a woman to be involved with a male
. superior, but the reverse is traditionally
considered unacceptable and is viewed
with alarm.
Consider the male teacher. There he
stands at the lecturn, the man with the
most authority in the room. Submitting to
and imposing authority in college usually
happens on a relatively subtle level
compared to other large institutions, but
the authority is there. He is the boss, the
guide, the man with the facts. He is a
perfonner, an older brother, a fatherfigure, a giver of credit. Is it any wonder
that members of his captive audience
become attached to him?
Colleges used to operate (and some still
do) under the philosophy of in loco
parentis ("in the place of the family")'
It seems natural that if the college takes
on the responsibilities of the family,
certain other attitudes will follow. The
taboo against incest, for example. And if
the teacher , as the . collf!:ge' s most
immediate representative, is viewed with
the in loco parentis philosophy in mind,
all sorts of interes ting developments
follow.
The teacher is Daddy, but not really.
He's as old as Daddy and looks somewhat
like him, so here we have an opportunity
to explore the repressed desire to get to
know Daddy in a ll senses of the word,
but not have to get hung up on that
traditional old taboo, the real Da ddy . The
teacher is the perfect surrogate taboo.
And since it still has to be somewhat
secret, the illicit atmosphere plays a major
role in keeping the taboo alive.

You have to understand that people
who are even ten years older than we are
grew up with completely different sexual
conditioning. The problems begin here,
with huge doses of sexism. All of a
sudden you're counseling some trembling
fool about divorce or affairs or sexual
guilt, which would never come up with
someone your own age.
- Evergreen student, female

rv-

Most student-faculty affairs are brief,
and a few last beyond the Student's
graduation . One faculty nwmber was
dismissed last year for sexual misconduct
after some of his female -students
complained, and a few faculty members
have married former students . . In general,
the attitude towards faculty-student
affairs is tolerant, except when they get in
the way of academic work. Some male
students report that certain seminars are
unbearable because the male faculty
member is constantly "hustling" hi s
fema le students. A few male faculty
members have such bad reputations on
the campus grapevine, that some women
students won't have a nything to do w ith
their area of study.
To some, the main ethical problem in
student-faculty relationships is that they
are an abuse of the professional-client
relationship. It is believed that the
teacher, because money and educational
credit are exchanged, should behave with
the standards of the psychologist-patient.
An "official" edUl;:ati.onal intimacy is set
up by the very structure of colleges
today , and to exploit that intimacy IS seen
as Qighly unethical, in the same way that
doctors and psychiatrists have rules
aga inst getting involved with patients in
areas open to emo tio na l and sexua l
exploitation.
Another view is expressed by Aristedes
in the American Scholar:
Aiming high, let us consult Socrates on
the subject . Specifically, let us consult the
Symposium, the dialogue about love. It
does not seem perverse to suggest that it
is also a dialogue about teaching, which is
a form of love, at least as Socrates
envisions it in the dialogue . At the end of
the Symposium, it will be recalled,
Alcibiades enters, rowdy and "bottled," as
Michael Joyce's delightful translation has
it, and, joining the other symposiasts ...
Alcibiades recounts the most extraordinary anecdote about 'his attempt to seduce
Socrates, an incident curious in itself since
he, Alcibiades, was as renowned for his
beauty as Socrates was renowned for his
ugliness .
... Alcibiades invited Socrates to stay
the night, and made his pitch. Socrates
heard him out, then said: "And if you're
trying to barter your own beauty for the
beauty you have found in me, you're
driving a ' very hard bargain, let me tell
you. You're trying to e xc hange the
semblance of beauty for the th ing
itself .... But you know, my dear fellow,
you re,all y must be careful. Suppo se
you're making a mistake, and I'm not
worth anything at aD."
Having made his pitch, Alcibiades
made his move. He wrapped his cloak
round Socrates, and, mounting the couch,
crept under Socrates' shabby old mantle,
taking the older man in his arms .
Whereupon - nothing happened. As
Alcibiades told it to the symposiasts:
"When I got up next morning, I had no
more slept with Socrates, within the

THE TEACHER AS SEX OBJECT
T he sexual double standard is a basic
component of most student-faculty sexual
relationships, beginning with the fact that
almost a ll relationships repor ted are
between a male teacher and a female
student. Female faculty-male s tud ent
affairs occur, but much more rarely . The
explanation, at least in part, is that
general societal ru les still govern even the
most "liberated" relationships. It is pretty
much traditionally held that romances
and marriages are acceptable if the male is
at least equal to the female in age,
intellect, and economic status. It is ok for

PERIODICALS DEPARTMENT
"A Reporter at Large; TIle New
India of Indira GandhI." An
in·depth analysis of present day
. India, specifica lly the circumstances surrounding the national
emergency declared by Indira
Gandhi's government In June , 1975.
Th e emergency declaration suspended normat const itu tional and
political processes and gave Gandhi complete power. She used this
sa nction to impose a virtuat
tyranny; the author compares her
rule to that of Musso lini and Stalin
and "possibly even Hit ler in the
early years."
The author puts the Indian
situation in hi storical perspective
and cites t/1e arguments made by
Gandh i and her critics. Gandhi 's
defense of her policy, for example.
includes the argument that parliamentary democracy is a foreign
transptant and not viable in poorer
co untries ; vehicles of publi c
expression (the courts, Parliament,
a free press) are bourgeois luxuries
which Impede progress. Yet, as has
been the case throughout Indian ~
history, the." emergency reforms are
serving the rich and hurting the
poor. Many of the poor, for
exa mple, have been sen t to
forced· labor camps. And the birth

contro l programs. laudatory as they
sound, include sterilization oper·
ations carried out mainly in the
s lums , often acco mpani ed by
theeats and pressure.
The author is not optim istic
about Ind ia's future despite the
announcement that there wi ll 'be an
election in March; he sees this

meaning of the act, than if he'd been my

High-blown and poetic interpretations
of this anecdote are certainly possible, but
at its most obvious level its meaning is
clear : the relationship of teacher and
student transcends fleshly transaction, is
indeed incompatible with it, being a
relationship of love but of love that has
to do, as Socrates puts it earlier in the
dialogue, with "procreancy of the spirit.'"
It is the first and last word on the subject.
Its lesson for professors is beyond
mistaking - emulate Socrates or join the
Gadarene.

Poetry As An Oral
Sound Experiment
T he Center for Literature in
Performance wi ll present a
co ll ection of original poems by
Evergreen student Lorr~ne Ming
Tong Thursday , February 17, at
7 p. m. in the library board
room.
Tong, w h o call s herself an
"oral sound experimenta list," says
her poem presentation wil l be a
performance rat her than a reading. "I incorporate movement to
the words. I try to bring words
out of the page into the more
visual. This is really exci ting for
me .
To ng says she has attended
every reading sponsored by the
Center for Literature in Performance , but will be doing
so mething different from w hat
she has seen there. ' 'I'm not
really hitting theatre and not
rea ll y writing. It 's somethinp.
in-between , like a new m edium.
I'm intere s ted in so un d a nd
exte nding words into more of an

a udio exper ience. It 's introspective ."
Lo rr ai n e Ming Tong was
previously involved in a performance-oriented readers group
in San Francisco. the Sideshow
S ix.
An excerpt from one of her
poems:
Crawling out of old cocoons
again
holding the wings under the
light
vein lines across the arms
you fucked them in too soon
falling inside yourself too
often
always rushed the loves
and they were greedy for
sunlight
after the night between your
thighs
your worm's head howled
for stolen time ...

moun t the al l-t ime worst mu s ical

Cherry's Avant-Garde Toots
by Jananne Gaver
Don Cher r y's new a lbum ,
simply titled Don Cherry, is a
synt hes is of old and new ideas.
He incorpora tes his knowledge
of world music a n d Eas tern
myst icism with electri c and more
traditional jazz forms.
C herry "always was" in the
avan t -garde. He s tarted out
playi ng bebop, but then in the
195 0's took up w ith Ornet t e
Co leman, who. had dispensed
with forma l jazz structure. such
as key cen ters, consistent tempos
and regular meters . Instead their
group began to experim ent with
music that shaped it self throug h
the energ ies and imaginations of
the individuals and the w hole
group. This type of free jazz is
evident in the new a lbum.
Being in the avant-garde didn't
mean find ing much work in the
United Sta tes, so C herry toured
Euro p e and came back with
Gato Barb ieri. He a lso traveled
to Africa a n d the Far East and
learned scales and rhythms from
all over the world.
Consequen tly , the new record
is a m ixture of free jazz, world
music, a nd more modern music
w hich utilizes electronic instruments and textures. Cherry is
also continuing his ex ploration
of voice, especially using chants
and mantras which reflect his
religious interest. His tr umpetplaying is as beau tiful as ever,

and remi nds one of the days
when he was p laying with
Ornette. You can still hear this
infl uence in his st y le, but now
that h e is playing his own
compos it ions ins t ead of Co l eman's, he has estab lished his
own sound. Also included in the
perso nn el are bassist Charlie
Haden a n d dru mm er Bi ll y Higg in s, two exce llent musi cians
w ho were a lso in the group wi th
Coleman a nd Cherry. As they 've
a ll played together for many
years, th ere is a lot of com munication
and
sensi ti vity
between them.

The firs t track of t he a lbum,
"Brown Rice," is one o f the more
modern and bizarre p ieces and
reinforces the image of C herry as
a member of the avant-garde.
T he interesting tex ture is created
by two electric pianos. One is
being played by Don himself and
the ot h er by Ricky Cherry.
C h a rlie Haden p lays acoustic
bass, w i th Bunchie Fox on
e lectric bongos and some surreal
c hant ing by Verna G illis. The
piece sou nd s almost Oriental.

Over al l of thi s Frank Lowe is
blowing what is barely recogn izable as a tenor saxoph one and
Cherry plays trumpet a nd a lso
chants. The texture is sim il ar to
w hat Miles Davis and Herb ie
Hancock have done.
"Malkauns" is a longer cut
w h ich combines free jazz wit h
Eastern m u s ica l id eas . Mok i
beg ins the tune with the tambourra. Th is is an Indian
instrument whic h creates a
drone. It is this constant hum
that has interested many jazz
music ians in the past. It inspired
John Coltrane to write "G iant
Steps" and thus began modal
jazz music. Over the tambourra
is Charlie Haden's beautiful bassp lay ing. H e also seems to
capt ur e the Eas t ern fe e ling.
When Cherry comes in on
trumpet, and Higgins with a
very light touch on the drums,
the bass line picks up a nd it's
now a jazz tune. The trumpet
somet im es p lays a slow line over
th e fast rhythm , and a t o th er
times p icks it up a nd' takes it
o ut. Th e tone so un ds both
Eastern and Oriental. Under a ll
this th e tambourra continues to
p lay. and the tune ends as it
began, wit h tambo urra and bass.
The a lbum sho uld a lmo st be
cons idered an entire piece to be
listened to from beginning to
end , and you must hear it to
fully appreciate it. It 's difficult to
descr ibe Cherry's ideas and
p laying, as they are a result of
many years of improv isat ion and
the study of differe nt musics.

An excerpt from one of her

Crawling out of old cocoons
again
holding the wings under the

vein lines across the arms
you fucked them in too soon
falling inside yourself too

always rushed the loves
and they were greedy for
sunlight
after the night between your

your worm's head howled
for stolen time ...

Cherry's Avant-Garde Toots
by Jananne Gaver
Don Cher r y's new a lbum ,
simply titled Don Cherry, is a
synt hes is of old and new ideas.
He incorpora tes his knowledge
of world music a n d Eas tern
myst icism with electri c and more
traditional jazz forms.
C herry "always was" in the
avan t -garde. He s tarted out
playi ng bebop, but then in the
195 0's took up w ith Ornet t e
Co leman, who. had dispensed
with forma l jazz structure. such
as key cen ters, consistent tempos
and regular meters . Instead their
group began to experim ent with
music that shaped it self throug h
the energ ies and imaginations of
the individuals and the w hole
group. This type of free jazz is
evident in the new a lbum.
Being in the avant-garde didn't
mean find ing much work in the
United Sta tes, so C herry toured
Euro p e and came back with
Gato Barb ieri. He a lso traveled
to Africa a n d the Far East and
learned scales and rhythms from
all over the world.
Consequen tly , the new record
is a m ixture of free jazz, world
music, a nd more modern music
w hich utilizes electronic instruments and textures. Cherry is
also continuing his ex ploration
of voice, especially using chants
and mantras which reflect his
religious interest. His tr umpetplaying is as beau tiful as ever,

and remi nds one of the days
when he was p laying with
Ornette. You can still hear this
infl uence in his st y le, but now
that h e is playing his own
compos it ions ins t ead of Co l eman's, he has estab lished his
own sound. Also included in the
perso nn el are bassist Charlie
Haden a n d dru mm er Bi ll y Higg in s, two exce llent musi cians
w ho were a lso in the group wi th
Coleman a nd Cherry. As they 've
a ll played together for many
years, th ere is a lot of com munication
and
sensi ti vity
between them.

The firs t track of t he a lbum,
"Brown Rice," is one o f the more
modern and bizarre p ieces and
reinforces the image of C herry as
a member of the avant-garde.
T he interesting tex ture is created
by two electric pianos. One is
being played by Don himself and
the ot h er by Ricky Cherry.
C h a rlie Haden p lays acoustic
bass, w i th Bunchie Fox on
e lectric bongos and some surreal
c hant ing by Verna G illis. The
piece sou nd s almost Oriental.

Over al l of thi s Frank Lowe is
blowing what is barely recogn izable as a tenor saxoph one and
Cherry plays trumpet a nd a lso
chants. The texture is sim il ar to
w hat Miles Davis and Herb ie
Hancock have done.
"Malkauns" is a longer cut
w h ich combines free jazz wit h
Eastern m u s ica l id eas . Mok i
beg ins the tune with the tambourra. Th is is an Indian
instrument whic h creates a
drone. It is this constant hum
that has interested many jazz
music ians in the past. It inspired
John Coltrane to write "G iant
Steps" and thus began modal
jazz music. Over the tambourra
is Charlie Haden's beautiful bassp lay ing. H e also seems to
capt ur e the Eas t ern fe e ling.
When Cherry comes in on
trumpet, and Higgins with a
very light touch on the drums,
the bass line picks up a nd it's
now a jazz tune. The trumpet
somet im es p lays a slow line over
th e fast rhythm , and a t o th er
times p icks it up a nd' takes it
o ut. Th e tone so un ds both
Eastern and Oriental. Under a ll
this th e tambourra continues to
p lay. and the tune ends as it
began, wit h tambo urra and bass.
The a lbum sho uld a lmo st be
cons idered an entire piece to be
listened to from beginning to
end , and you must hear it to
fully appreciate it. It 's difficult to
descr ibe Cherry's ideas and
p laying, as they are a result of
many years of improv isat ion and
the study of differe nt musics.

Five New Ways to Raise Your Tuition

- reduce the ratio of student-t eachin g
assista ots to faculty .
- increase placement services .
M ost of these guidelines have been
institutional philosophy at Evergreen since
its first year . Evergreen gives credit for
experience outside school, offers individual contracts, the faculty are relati vel y
acces s ibl e, and the school ha s fe w
teachin g assistant s.
A fou rth bill. , Bill 312, is simila r to BIll
370 in that it wo uld adjust tuitio n to the
cost of inst ructio n, but it lacks most of
the other prov isions a nd wo uld retain th e
present tu it ion and fees syst em .
Govern or Ray has also introd uced a
fifth bill whI ch wo uld also set tuit Ion to
educational cost s. Governor Ray' s b ill
would also set 25 percent of the tUIti on

CORPORATION PLANS
T wo miles north of the clean
w hite Evergreen laboratory , across a stretch of water and mud
fl at. pa st the old dike , the
smokestack of a DuPont chemical plant is clearly visible above
the trees . It is there that Weyerhause r wants to build a huge
dock for shipping its products to
Japan and Europe . DuPont is

discontinuing use of the small
plant - which empl o yed only
150 people - and the small dock
where high explos ives were
shipped out twice a year.
A mile north. past a small
oyster company , Burlington
Northern railroad wants to build
an industrial park and deepwater port. The idea of a
deep-water port and some kind
of industrial development has
been talked about by the Port of
Olympia - which has had responsibility for the area since
1949.
It is not because of a vast
environmental conspiracy that
two monolithic corporations
want to build deep-water shipping facilities within a stone's
throw of the refuge, according to
Ulmschneider.
Instead , the
reason is something called the
Nisqually Reach, where just off
the Delta, the water depth drops
quickly to 200 feet . Thi s,
combined with the strong currents which dredge the bottom
aut o matically , make the area
ar o und Nisqually ideal for a
port.
At the present time Burlington
Nor thern , w hose industrial park
site is in Thurston County, is
trying to get the area permanently zoned "urban ", it s temporary designation since 1970. The
nex t hearing on the matter
before the Thurston County
Planning Commission is February 23, according to Ulmschneider. Burlington's opponents
want the area zoned "ruraL "
Th e sh oreli ne, near the indus trial park sit e. is presently
zoned "rural. " Burlington Northe rn wa nt s It changed to match
th e o ther zoning to "urban ."
To the north, Weyerhauser
already has the correct urban
zoning, in Pierce County . It is
now beginning to plan an
environmental impact statement
for the area, which will have to
be reviewed by a multitude of
state agencies, including the
Department of Ecology .

Weyerhauser has not released
any final plans for the area,
saying only that it wants to
begin by building a large dock
and might later want to build
manufacturing facilities - possibly a pulp mill. Environmentalists, who are skeptical of
Weyerhauser's intentions, claim
that it has not announced its
long-term plans because it fears
the public reaction .
"Weyerhauser claims they can
build a pollution-free pulp mill ,"
Ulmschneider explains. "But just
because they say they will
doesn't mean that they wilL ..
Also , there's always been pollution from ships at port - the
construction of the dock itself
will cause s ilt to cover the
marsh es. It will disturb the
ducks . If there's a ship crash it
would spill oil and gasoline that
w ould effect the marshes. "
" Tacoma , " she continued,
"was once an estuary, where
birds stopped on their migration
south - it was the mouth of the
Puyallup River . But like most
estuaries which have been filled
or drained, no birds ever stop
there now . The same is true of

Seattle: they were part of what's
called the Pacific Flyway, the
estuaries where migrating birds
stop to feed and rest. Now the
birds go straight from Skagit,
north of Seattle, to here. "
The interpretation center
presently has a display of stuffed
animals, many done by Ulmschneider, and a slide show on
marsh vegetation, as well as a
small library of research reports
- some done by Evergreen
academic programs - about the
delta.
INTERPRET A TlON '
Ulmschneider is planning to
expand the display exhibits and
slide show, as well as open up
the interpretation center to grade
school children .
"Within the next couple of
weeks the first school "lass will
come out here as a field trip,"
she explained "It will probably
be the sixth grade class from
Jefferson Elementary School in
Olympia ."
"There's a threat to the delta,"
she continued, "and this center
will help to inform more people
about the problem - so when

Literary magazine founders are
like salm on, it has been said,
who lay their creations at our
footstep and then swim off
somewhere to die .
At Evergreen the old adage
seems to be true . A whole
succession o f literary small
magazines have been published
once or twice only to disappear :
Frost, Rainroots, Demiurge, and
London Fog.
To solve this problem fourthyear student Daniel Hathaway
received S and A funding for a
group called PRESS, which is
supposed to serve as an "umbl ella" for a number of different
publising ventures.
Ri ght now, Hathaway admit s
TETRAHEDRON
the mag-

Get Published

azine he hopes to publish this
spring, is the only thing standing
under PRESS's umbrella.
"The magazine will be divided
into four parts ," Hathaway
explains. "Education, environment, aesthetics, and something
we're calling inscape , The first
three will be essays and the last
category what people call 'creative' work : art, photographs.
They should all be creative ,
though - I'm not interested in
collections of ,h ard dry facts for
the essays."
Another literary publication
centered at Evergreen is the
Penny Press, which is an "openformat" publication . The content
is not censored or edited .

In the meantime, the estuary is
a beautiful site to ' visit, with
fishing in McAllister Creek, and
lots of birds to watch, according
to Ulmschneider.
"The mud is dangerous ,
though," she cautions. "If you
I!;et stuck above the middle of
your thigh, you ' re probably
:lone for . The first year that I
was here, a little kid who was
digging for shrimp when his toes
got stuck. It took four adults to
get him out before the tide came
up."
For people -. interested in the
Weyerhauser and Burlington
Northern site, Ulmschneider recommends they contact the Nisqually Delta Association which
has fought the building of deep
water ports in the area since
1966.

agrees with such an approach,
stressing instead that the quality
of the work must be the
determining factor in publication .
"At Evergreen there are a lot
of people who are semi-literate,
with only a sixth grade reading
ability , " Hathaway remarked.
.. As a result people are attracted
to cosmic and esoteric philosophies that don't require a person to
formulate their thoughts well."
The magazine's statement of
purpose explains : "We are not
interested in the wholesale expression and abuse of images
and emotions. "
Although TETRAHEDRON ,
which is now accepting manuscripts, is the only publication
Hathaway is now working on,
his plans are more ambitious.

College students from around the state
were frustrated on Tuesday, February 14,
when a ' proposed rally against tuition
hikes fizzled into a disorganized meetyour-legislator day . About 100 students
gathered in the capitol reception room for
a n o rganizational meeting at 10 : 15
Tuesday morning, many having traveled
a hundred miles or more, some by bus,
and most uncertain exactly why they had
come .
At the meeting Michael Sparks , a
lobbyist for the State College Council ,
along with several student body leaders,
suggested that the students would make
mo re progress with the legislators if they
sp o k e to them personally instead of
demonstrating. One student described it
as a pep talk, with the leaders telling
them to "go out and get 'em." .
Some students seemed disappointed by
the lack of a demonstration . One Western
State College student remarked, ''I'd heard
that Evergreen State College was going to
have 1,000 people out here today ." It was
rumored that some students considered
storming the Senate chambers.
To a large extent the rally failed
because the students were uninformed and
unorganized . Five bills dealing with
tuition increases are currently in the
House . Many students tried to spend the
day listening to legislators explain the bills
and the advantages of each . But for much
o f the afternoon legis\;!tors were in
caucu s, and students were unable to speak
with them . Late in the day , a student
from Wash ington State University
remarked, "We learned how frustrating it
is to talk with senators. "
THE BIllS
Four of the five bills are sponsored by
the same three people. All are members of
the House Higher Education Committee:
Rep . Phyllis Erickson, chairwoman of the
committee, Rep. Rod Chandler, and Rep.
Alan Thompson . Erickson said they
introduced four different bills so that all
options might be explored . She thought
that perhaps a composite bill would
result. "There certainly is no one bill that
we are looking at now," she said ,
House Bills 289, 311 , and 370, the first
three bills, would revamp the entire

THE REASONS
system of higher education financing,
providing "a comprehensive policy on the
financial support of higher education ."
These three bills all establish a single
tuition fee , separate from the Services and
Activities fee , and each bill provides a
"manpower shortage " section , which
allows the school to waive up to 40
percent of the tuition for a student who is
pursuing a program of study designed to
tra in him or her for a field designated as a
manpower shortage area .
These bill s would al so create , a
statewide financial aid committee under
the Council for Post-secondary Educatio n
(CPE l, with the expressed intent that
"every state student" should ha ve the
opportunity to pursue an education .
Bill 289 would raise the tuition by an
arbitrary amount , and then adjust the
tuition to a student's parental income . A
student with a low parental income would
pay 12, 24, or 50 percent of the standard
tuition , which for a full-time resident at a
s tate college would be $1 93 .10 per
quarter . Full-t ime res ident Evergreen
student s c urrently pa y $169.00 pe r
quarter .
Bill 311 would tie tu itio n to the average
wage in Washington, with the beginning
levels b ased on the average wage for 1976
and the current tu ition costs , The tuition
yvould be computed each biennium from a

wage level determined by th, Department
of Empl oyment Security.
Bill 370 would set tuiti. , directly to the
cost of instruction . Edul·.ltlon costs-per·5tudent would be establ.,hed bIenniall y
and would includ e , uch item s as
instruction cost, library servi ces, student
servi ces, administrati on costs, and plant
maintenance and o peratio ns. Tuition for a
full-time resident Evergreen student wou ld
be 20 percent of the cos t of instru ctJO n.
Students at other sta te colleges paid 17.2
percent of their educa ti onal cos ts in '1 975,
a cc ord in g to th e C PE . Eve rgree ne rs,
beca use of hi gher educa tio nal cos ts, pa id
only 10.9 percen t. However, Bill 370
would lImit our tuiti on to no t mo re tha n
that paid a t the University of Wa shington , thu s tuiti o n w o uld go up to
approx im a tely $206 .00 per qu a rter.
All three of th ese bills also provide a
section that tells institutions of higher
edu cati o n t o b e m o re responsive to'
student needs. Colleges and universities
would be required to :
- award credit fo r de mo n strated
competence w ithout registration fo r a
course.
- pro vide extensio n or correspondence
courses.
- all o w individuali ze d s tud y o n a
variable time option.
- ma x imize s tudent - fa culty co nt act

Re p . Ro d Chandler . one of th e
co-sponsors of the four House bills, was
almost apol ogetic about the bills . He
considered tuition increases a negative
thing that "nobody wants to do ." But he
felt that it was unfair for the taxpayers
al o ne to bear the rising costs of
education. "Higher education is something
th a t gives the individual an advantage in
the market place," he said, "and that
o pp o rtunit y should be availabl e to
everyone , but the benefiting individual
should share some of the cost. "
Rep . Art Moreau , another member of
the Ho use Higher Ed uca tio n Comm Ittee,
ex plained that the tuitio n increase has
been building up over the last five or six
yea rs. "Students believe they have held it
off ," he said, "but if it doesn't happen thi s
year it 's go ing to happen next year , and it
will be even more then ."
A number of public hearings are
scheduled in the next two weeks . One is
scheduled especially for students o n
Saturday, February 26, in House OHi u
Building room 431 at 10 a.m. Erickson
suggested that students come prepared
with short presentations to allow as many
students as possible to present their views .
She also asked that repetition be kept to a
minimum by arriving at the beginning of
the meeting and paying close attention,

Rape Prevention In Action
.,

by Patti Dobrowolski
Last year fourteen reported rapes ·and
thirtee n other sexua I offenses were
committed against women in Thurston
County. Since the first of this year, one
rape and five se xual offenses have
occurred wjthin a one-mile radius of
Evergreen . No one has been apprehended
in any of these a c ts. Due to ,the
ever-present rape and exhibitionist probl e m s in and around th e college ,
concerned women have founded a Rape
Prevention program for men and women
against rape .
This program involves va rious security
system s at the co llege and in the
O verhulse Road, Westside, Eastside, and
Steamboat Island areas. "Through these
systems we receive the needed support
from each other and through that
support, feel safety ," says Aaron Clear,
one of the founding members of the Rape
Prevention program.
On campus, active participants have set
up an escort system in the dorms and
ASH apartments for women who need
a companion when Security is unavailable
to walk them home , Ken Jacobs, from
Campus Housing, is planning to offer
guest rooms for women who· are unable
to find a ride home and need a place to
stay overnight . For women and men who
prefer to walk safely to school with their

pets, there are dog kennels behind the lab
building . Security suggests that students
bring locks for the kennels, as sympathetic passers-by may feel they are doing
justice to the dogs in releaSing them , and
apprehension may be th.e result .

Posted outside of the Women's Center
is a ride board for women who are
offering or are in need of rides and
walking / hitchhiking partners, followed by
a list of suspi cious persons and vehicles to
, be wa ry of. Among the descriptions on

the list is that of the latest exhibitionist :
ApprOXimately 5'8", short blond to light
brown hair, in his late twenties, driving a
dark blue, foreign-made station wagon.
This "flasher's" procedure is to stoop
down by- the rear tire of his car until a
woman walks or bikes into viewing range
and then stands up and masturbates at
her. He then speeds from the scene of the
crime. Security has asked people to watch
for this car and person in an attempt to
get a license plate number to assist them
in the apprehension of the criminal.
Rape Prevention 's o ff-campu s sa feguard s include an immediate phone
notification system to alert houses in the
areas in the event of an emergency or
potential dangers at hand .
"Block Hou ses" are being ass igned
monthly to a h o usehold in ea ch
coo perating neighborh o od . The dut ies
include responsibility for making the first
major phone calls to other neighborhoods
in Olympia , and to assure that the
existing systems are running sm oothly .
For the households who support Rape
Prevention, "STOP RAPE" stickers have
been printed for posting on their houses,
to assure women who are in dange rous
situa tions that upon entering that house
they will receive assistance . T hese signs
are available upon reques t and interview
in the Women's Center.

Alth ough Rape Preventi o n at Evergreen
stresses the a wareness of the potential
dangers th at exist for women in walking
and hitchhiking alone, they are also
concerned with self-defense and assertiveness-training for all females. On Februa ry
19th , Rape Reltef of Olympia is
sponsoring a self-defense and asserti veness
-training worksh op ,- taught by the Rape
Preventi o n Forum from Se a ttl e. Th e
workshop runs fro m 1 to 4 p .m . a t the
O lympia Community Center, a nd w ill
consist of one and one- ha lf hours of
verbal assertiveness, follo wed by one and
o ne - half hours o f self -def e nse tip s.
Pre-registration may be made by ph oning
Rape Relief at 866-2211.
T he concerned persons invo lved in the
fight against rape need the assista nce of
Evergreen students and the comm unities
in Olympia . Ra pe is a societa l problem
that faces both men and wo men, an d only
through a n a wareness of the dangers
confronting w o men, a nd suppo rt of the
systems Rape Prevention has set up , can
the potent ial of these cnminal acts be
a llevia ted . T he Ra p e Prevention program
