Evergreen currently faces perhaps its
grea test threat since the college opened in
1971. Last week, a bi ll was introduced into the state senate which, if passed, would
turn Evergreen into a satellite graduate
studies fac ility of the University of Washington, effective this July . Senate Bill No.
2866 is presently awaiting a hearing in the
Sena te Higher Education Committee. Sen.
Gordon Sandi~o n (0), the cha irman of
the committee and a long-time ally of Evergree n, thinks the bill has a chance of
making it through the comm ittee and onto
the floor. "It's got pretty good backers,"
he said.
The bill is sponsored by four Senators:
Hubert Donohue (0)' chairman of the
Ways and Means Committee and a member of the Higher Education committee;
A. L. "Slim" Rasmussen (0 ), chairman of
the State Government Committee and a
member of the Ways and Means Committee: August Ma rdes ich (D) a member of
the Ways a nd Means Committee, among
ot he rs; an d Sa m Guess (RL a member of
the Hi g her Edu-::ation Committee. Between
these men lies a g reat deal of power in the
Senate . Sandison said of Rasmussen , "He
has made probably more s ub s tantive
changes in the laws o f the state than any
other person now in the legis lature ."
The chief reason fo r the bill 's introduc tion seems to be co ncern over the cost of
Evergreen . Mardesich called it a matter of
cost eltec tlvE:ness ." He said: . I suppose
when you ge t down to it, that' s w hat thi s
w hole job is about, to ge t your buck's
wo rth fo r what you ' re paying in terms of
the s ta te ."
.
Rasmussen was the senator who first
questioned Dan Evans' appo intment as the
next president of Evergreen , and it has
been specu lated that there might be politi cal motives behind his part in the bill. as
he has long been considered a politica l foe
of Evans. Mardesich said, "Rasmussen
might have po lit ical motives , but that's
Rasmussen. He's a po li tical animal." Ras mussen denied that his motives concerned
a nything but th e cost of operating Evergreen (see interview this page) .
Sandison admitted that the hiring of
Evans and the "genel"Ous" leave granted
President McCann might have something
to do with the bill, but he also said that

"Eve rgreen has been under fire since it
started. "
Under the provisions of the bill all credits and evaluations of Evergreen students
would be accepted by the University of
Washington as if they had been attending
there. All employees of the college , including faculty, would be turned over to
the University until the expiration of their
contracts, after which the University would
be free to hire or fi re as they chose.
The University of Washington Board of
Regents has indicated that it really does
not want Evergreen. but the senators all
said that it did not make much difference
to them. " We give them a lo t of things
they don't want, " Sa n dison quipped.
"We're not going to give them the whole
budget they asked for this year."

Mardesich felt that part of the reason
Evergreen is not cost-effective is because
too many students are getting credit without producing enough. "If you have a student who is highly motivated on his own,
you d on' t have any problems," he said.
" But I get the feeling that most people are
not highly motivated without a prod on
occasion. And the prod is getting your
grades ." Mardesich commented that he
had never been to v isit Evergreen, saying,
" What ca n you learn by going to the campus?" He said he didn' t know about the
bill's chances, and indicated he signed on
as a sponsor because he was asked. ''I'm
not that excited about it one way or the
other, " he said.
There is some talk that the bill may just
be a way of getting at tent ion for it s spon-

sors, and that it does not p~ a real threat
to the college. And one must consider that
the sponsors of a bill will rarel y admit
that it does not have a good chance of
passing before the bill comes up for a
vote . Also, senate members usually will
not bad-mouth another senator's bill until
it comes up in committee or on the floor .
A bill as drastic and important as thi s
one will necessarily take some time to
work through the legislative process. 13e fore it can gain much support its el'lkts
will have to be carefully researched. a task
th at cou ld last beyond this session. And If
the bill makes it through the Senate , il
must still contend with the House and the
G o vernor.
The Higher Education Committee has
not yet scheduled a hearing on the bill.

The Man Who Wants to Close Evergreen
Sena tor A.L. "Slim" Rasmussen is the
man who seems most responsible for the
drive to close down Evergreen and turn it
into a satellite campus of the University of
Washington. Yesterday morning Manag ing Edi tor Brad Pokorny stationed himself
outside Rasmussen's office and ' secured a
brief interview with him. Pokorny reports
that Rasmussen was friendl y. The interview follows .
CP j : Why do you want to turn Evergreen into a graduate facility of th e Uni versity of Washington ?
Rasmussen: [ th ink that 's a temporary
move, to make it a bra nch of the UW.
Right now the university is overloaderl
w ith graduate studen ts. Thi s will a llow a
temporary shift in the loa d . and then
probab ly it' ll be made into a satellite campus for state office buildings. Bert Cole 's
office needs more space . We can use the
d ormitories fo r a C. C. camp, and it ju st
seems like an excellent way of util izing
those buildings .
CPj: You don't think that the buildings
are fully utilized now?
Rasmussen : No, the class load is down
there, and c-f course o ne of the problem s
is that there are very few in-state students.
Most of them are out-of-state .
CPj: Why not pass a law limiting the
number of out-of-state students, and limiting the educa tion al costs, instead of clos-

ing Evergreen?
Rasmussen: Yo u hit Lpon a very pertinent point then '. It cost s us $} ,OOO more
per student to educate a young person at
Evergree n. I think that the solution is, with
.the decreasi ng co llege population , we don't
have the need for that facility any longer.
Class loads are dQwn at Eastern, Central,

Wes tern , and the community colleges. So
it 's go ing to be [·ecessary tu close dow n
some of the inst itllti om and run the ot hers
at capacity.
CPj: Why not close down one of th e
other institutions instead of Evergreen?
Rasmussen: The lo~ ica l thin g. of cou r, "

by Karrie jacobs
While state senators A. L. Rasmussen
and Hubert Donohue are taking action to
radically alter Evergreen because they
think that the college costs too much to
run, students here are organizing to pro test proposed state college and university
tuition hikes because they feel that Evergreen will cost too much to attend.
The Student Defense Committee has
formed at Evergreen to organize schoolw ide opposition to the tuition hike. The
Evergreen committee is just one group in
a state- wide network created to unify
Washington's college students and fight
for their needs and interests.
The committees have planned a demonstration against the tuition hike, to take
place on the capital campus on Saturday,
February 26th, the day that the final House
Higher Education Committee public hearing on the issue will be held .
The Evergreen Student Defense Committee has put forth three "principles of
unity" expressing their views:
1. No tuition hike; open admissions and
free tuition for all.
2. No cutbacks in educational goods
and services.
3. Overhaul Washington's regressive tax
system ; tax the corporations and the rich,
not the poor .

The Student Defense Committee says
that the tuition increase is due to a lack of
funds in the state, and attributes this shortage to Washington's tax structure, claim ing that it overburdens the poor and

shou ld be overhau led.
The question has arisen as to whether It
would be in Evergreen's best interest to
make an appearance at a uemonstrat!on
protesting the tuiti on hike when the co l-

lege is being threatened by Senate Bill
2866 which would turn Evergreen int o an
adjunct of the University of Washington
in onler to save money .
To m Thacker, of the Student Defense
Committee here, felt that there was no
reaso n to back down on the prot est. He
emphasized that Eve rgreen was n ot the
only college involved and that it is a statf' wide effort.
"Even with someth ing like th at i Bill
2866 1 lo o ming,"' sa id Thacker , "we ca n' l
compromise our demands, co mp romisf'
our principles of unity with the o ther stat e
colleges . If that bill went thro ugh. t he re
would be widespread protest through ou t
the college, and w e could ex pect so lida rity
from other colll'ges ."
When asked whether he thought th e
studen t rally o n t uiti on would affect Judg ment on the Evergreen b ill , Senator Gordon Sandiso n. cha irman of the Sena l!e
Committe" on Higher Educatio n said, .. j
don't th inf. Ihat we 'd notice it too mu ch

12 % who are functionally iIIlte rerate but also mentioned that
there were a large number of studen ts on this campus who though
not in the functionally illiterate
bracket were not far fro m it and
I used the term "semi-literate" in
reference to them. This is a group
w ho have not developed their
communicative skills beyond the
9th grade level. By communicative skills I mean read ing, writing, listening, and speaking. I
hypothesize that as a result of
the ineptitude they tend to limit
their topics of d iscourse to the
cosmic, esoter i ~, autobiographica l, abstract, a bstru se, and meteorological, these being easier for
them in that they do not necess ita te the use and development of
reasoning a nd comprehension .
As for my ambiti ons - they
are concerned wi th improving
co mmunication on campus. I
hope the rest of the community
is supportive of that goal, and of
the pu blica ti ons that can help to
see it realized, e.g . the JOURNAL
and Tetrahedron.
The best support is part icipation.

Co-op Corner
Controversy
To the Editor:

Tuition
Protest
To the Editor:
We are members of the Statewide Committee to Fight the T uItio n Hike and The Evergreen
Student Defense Commi ttee, Everyo ne read in the CPj last week
about the five bills in the legislatu re that seek to raise tuition in
va rious ways, We won't reiterate
spec ifics of the bills (see last
week 's CPjl. What we want to
make clear is that a ll bills and
movements to raise tuition are
totally unacceptable to us, They
are a direct attack on students
and working people. Any increase in tuibon will further price
the cost of higher education out
of the reach of working people
and students; and yet, most jobs
require at least two years of college training, many a four-year
degree.
For the above reasons, a statewide demonstration has been
ca lled on SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 26th at 10 a.m. at the Capitol Rotunda. The demonstration
has been organized around the
follOWing three demands: 1 .) NO
tuition hike, 2.) No cutbacks in
educational classes or services,
and 3.) No tax increases on working people - tax the rich and
their corporations.
The Evergreen Student Defense
Committee formed in response to
the tuition hike. If the hike goes
through, we are planning a tuition strike spring quarter. Other
colleges, community colleges and
the UW have indicated that they
will strike if tuition goes up.
There will be petitions circulating
on campus asking people to
pledge their support to the strike
in the event of an increase. Regardless of the outcome of this
Issue, The Student Defense Committee will continue to defend
and fight for student and worker
int",-ests at Evergreen and on a
stakwide basis. Our next meeting 15 Friday, February 25th, at
noon in CAB 110. We will disCUSIS the tuition hike, talk about

the plans for the next day's demonstra tion and
discuss
the
SOC. THE TIME TO ACT IS
NOW. WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT.

Film Students
Take Aim
To the Editor:
Evergreen is an idealistic institution , and, like seemingly all
idealistic institut ions, Evergreen
is falling to corrupt ion . Its ideals
a re not being met; its potent ial is
not being realized, or utilized. In
the area of film-mak ing this situation is most apparent.
Students who come to Evergreer. are allowed to be responsi ble to themselves, to their own
education, and to the goa ls they
wish to achieve. They expect to
find an environment in which
creativity is allowed to thrive,
where individuality is encouraged
and maintained; an environment
in which students can pursue a
course of study in a free and nonrepressive fashion. One expects
to find support and understanding for the student and that student's aspirations. Anyone com ing to Evergreen is justified in
these expecta tions, and it is precisely these expectations that the
film students are trying desperately to achieve.
The film students are concerned about their education, or
rather the lack of one. We can't
understand how experienced students can be denied access to equipment which is here precisely
for their benefit. We feel that our
individual creative projects are
generally unsupported, and that
there are not any faculty available to give us the support we
need. We cannot accept the fact
that there is not a creative artist
in control of what is unquestionably a creative art.
Under the Social Contract
heading in the college catalogue
it states that it is a "requirement"
that "each member of the Ever-

green community concern him self w ith how the college can become a more productive, more
human e, and more supportive
place in which to learn." The film
students are doing exactly that.
In consideration for ourselves
and our future, for the college
a nd for future students to come,
the film students fi nd it a necessi ty to voice their dissatisfaction
wit h a si tua ti on that ha s gotten
out of hand , and to take an active role in determining possible
so lutions. It is disappointing that
the faculty involved have shown
so little support or cooperation
toward our concerns . What we
have heard is that there is a likelihood tha t film-making will be
d iscont inued at Evergreen because of its trouble and expense.
This is an unnecessary, irresponsible, and reactionary solution .
What is vitally needed is change;
change for the better, not for the
worse. The film students are doing w hat every dissatisfied student at Evergreen shou ld be doing: making a concerted effor t to
make this school live up to its
standards, to make it a "more
productive, more humane, and
more supportive place in which
to learn."

Fuss About
~ Baptists
To the Edi tor:
What's all this fuss about
Baptists on campus? Baptists are
nice people who sing all the
time. Of course they don't dance
much, but you can't hold that
against them. After all, our new
president is a Baptist , and we all
know he wouldn't hurt a fly.

P .S. Never Mind.

A Victim of
Journalistic
. Interpolation
To the Editor:
During the last mo nth I have
been st rained through journalistic
interpo la tion and editing; misqu o ted, quoted out of context,
etc. Considering the shorthand
methods used for interviewing, I
am not surprised.
When trying to advertise our
ex istence and want of subm issions in the Happenings, my request for written and graphic
work from "students, facu lty,
and staff" was altered to a request for "articles" from "Evergreeners." Despite the amorphous
term "articles" and the grate of
the catch-all "Evergreeners" (like
a fork scrapi ng across a plate), I
could survive.
In the Newsletter the next week
we were "articled" again, Lynda
Hillman was referred to as "his
assistant," she is assistant and
graphics editor, we were referred
to as " two ambitious Evergreen
students," a delineation of tone
somewhat condescending, and I
was given a new last name. This
near loss of a g~od co-worker
and of identity could have been
persevered.
The following week I was interviewed by Stan Shore from
the COOPER POINT JOURNAL
and that Thursday "Literary
Magazine Founded (Again)"
came out with the JOURNAl.
(Stan, several years back, tried
to put out a magazine, Rainroots,
and then swam off, and inciden tally recently swam away from
his position in the COOPER
POINT closet.) The metaphor of
salmon was cute and hackneyed.
Here I found myself saying things
I had trouble believing and
though there were some phrases
near to the truth they lacked the
proper context in which to have
clear meanings.
The survival of a magazine,
journal, or newspaper is not only

dependent upon the abili ty and
direc ti ng of its staff b ut a lso upon
its public and their willingness to
support it th rough subm issions
and subscripti on. Frost was an
in-house clique sheet, the London
Fog was written almost entirely
by its e dit or, the COOPER
POINT JOURNAL is in need of
writers and ideas from people
w ith the mot ivation to participate
in the paper. Rainroots d id not
get the support through submissions it needed and Demiurge
suffered the same and worse
w hen its editorsh ip changed over
to a journalist.
I have ob liged myself to stay
here for the next three years to
see that PRESS and its firs t publica tion, Tetrahedron, survive that
long, if the Evergreen community
is supportive enoug h through
submissio ns. That length of time
is a good average of what is
needed fo r a magazine to formulate a personality and gain enough in stature to attract a
good staff and the needed sub missions.
I will publish Tetrahedron in
the spring or in the fall depending on submissions, even if it
consists of no more than the few
good writers I am now in touch
with .
Tetrahedron is the only thing
under PRESS's umbrella, however there are ideas such as a
monthly magazine and reintroduction of the quarterly Symposium on the board to be considered for next year. These are dependent on people coming in and
showing the drive, interest and
potential to give the ideas substance and direct them towards
actualization.
As concerns the Penny Press,
when interviewed I said I was
supportive of the idea of an open
forum workshop publication
such as their broadsheets but
that I was against the use of the
college sign on an unedited manuscript in distribution around
Thurston County, on the grounds
that it was poor in content and
resulted in such representation of
Evergreen and its potential.
In regards to my remarks
about literacy on campus, I not
only spoke to the problem of the

ering a tuition hike, and is likely
to put it into effect soon. This
results in two tuition hikes in a
very short period of time - all
at the expense of the students.
2) Out-of-state tuition ~ O ut of-laate students, some of whom
find it very difficult to cO.me up
with the $450 for tuition each
quarter would have to find a
way to scrounge up $675 in a
single semester. It is the same
a mount of money but 1. personally, would find it impossible to
pay half of my tuition a t one
time. Most students don't have
$675 ready cash .
3) Summer jobs - This was
listed in the memo bu t the full
weight of the problem wasn't
conveyed. The summer jobs that
students are most likely to get in
the northwest are nearly all seasona l. These jobs require work
until after Labor Day. An early
semester calendar would make
students ineligible for these jobs.
4) Overseas and fu ll- year programs - Most overseas a nd full year programs must divide the
year into three distinct time periods. With a quarter system this
isn't difficult, but wi th a semester
system it wou ld be almost impossible.
S) More time to learn? Would we really get more accompli shed in a semester than in
a quarter? I doubt it. I think tha t
in terest would tend to wane towards the end of the semester'
studen ts wou ld get restl ess .
quarte r is a short enough time
for a student to go full-speed all
the way, but you can't sprint on
a cross-country run.
6) Evaluations - I find it diffic ult (and I'm sure faculty do,
too) to look back on a quarter
and reflect on wha t I've done.
Even iF I have accomplished a
lot, it's hard to remember. A
semester is a long time. Eva luations wo uld be harder to write
for a ll in vo lved, they wou ld
probably be of poorer quality ,
and we wou ld get less of theml
7) The future - What will this
change lead to? I have been in vo lved with a lternative ed ucation
long enough to know that this is
one of the first steps toward Evergreen becoming the University
of Washington at O lympia. If
people let this proposal pass
without really investigating it,
the change may come sooner
than we think .
These are a few of my own
reaso ns for voting NO on the
Calendar Change Proposal. If the
people working in the Office of
the Registrar th ink tha t they can
sacrifice Evergreen's students to a
poor education so that they can
reduce their work load, they definitely don't belong at Evergreen.
Evergreen is supposed to be a
place to learn, not just to pass
the time.

I consider informa tion contained in "Co-op Corner" to be
of great interest to the students
of TESC; more important than
classified ads and certainly more
importa n t th a n many "news"

co- op as a functioning service
group as the CPj should a lso be.
Th is means that the CPJ is responsible to prov ide information
from other service groups and
organizations that functi on to a id

I urge you to have "Co -op

Change of
Calendar
Conspiracy

Sincerely,
Tamara McCracken

To the Editor:
When I received the memorandum describing the Change of
Calendar Proposal in the mail, I
read it with near disbelief. The
memo was so obviously biased
toward the change that it makes
me fear for Evergreen.
The points listed under the
heading "Major Disadvantages
Adheren t in an Early Semester
Calendar" were inane and ridiculous I Whoever wrote the memo
didn't take into account the real
problems behind an early semester calendar. Let me list a few:
1) Tuition hikes - The early
semester system would save the
college approximately one-third
of its fees in collection, fee billing, etc. , but the students would
be paying the same amount of
tuition. This is a disguised tuition
hike . The state is already consid-

Rape, Slavery,
Persecution,
Concentration
Camps,
and EPIC
To the Editor:
I am finally forced to rep ly to
the ridiculous business of the Air
Force Band Concert and EPIC's
childish display of insecurity .
Your letter last week was very
touching. First it touched my
eyes, then my mouth, then my
brain, then my gut, until I was
finally so overwhelmed by your

pathetic green slimy attempt a t
making excuses for your insecurity, I had to put it down . Two
hundred years of racism, sex ism ,
oppression and persecution have
taught the w orld w ha t? How to
oppress others.
What right do you have dictating who can and cannot perform here? What right do you
exercise telling people about the
sick efforts of the military to recru it people under the guise of
entertainment while you yourse lves escort them into the arm s
of EPIC at the end of your article? Is it not, in a ny way, evident to yo u th at d ictating who
will or will not play here for any
reason is evidence of your own
insecurities? Are you so afraid
that at th e end of a performance
all in the audience w ill rise up en
masse and sign up for their own
Air Force bomber?
W ha t is the difference be tween
being rec ruited int o the Air Force
or being recruited into EPIC
when the recruiting is carried out
in either manner? Bot h are done
ou t of ignorance. Both are an a ttempt a t changing the attitudes
and sta tus of the world. A re yo u
propos ing to say then who is
right a nd who is wrong by using
the exact same tactic - propaganda? You gave people no freedom of choice - a t least the A ir
Force did that - they had to
look at you or leave . The resu lt
of this kind of action is hostility
towards yourselves a nd no change
in atti tu des.
Can you imagine what the
plight of Blacks in this country
would be had Mar tin Lu the r King
desegregated busses by forc ing
w hi tes to the back and seat ing
blacks in th e front with a machine gun in hi s hand? I realize
your protest was essentially a
peaceful one, but I did not exactly get the idea that there was
love in your hearts, kids. People
cha nged their minds then because
they had the freedom of choice
and the opportunity to make u~
their ow n minds. This, to me, is
the grea test example of a means
by which to cha nge. Forcing
your way into a performance,
interrupting the dignity of the
performers and forcing your audience to either view your p ropaganda or leave to me is not
freedom of choice. They did not
come to the performance to see
you. People have the opportunity to do that if they so choose.
Under the circumstances, I felt
the performers (who are, by the
way, human beings with fee lings,
and not mindless recruiting robots) handled the situation fairly
well. I wou ld like to see EPIC do
as well the day the entire Air
Force Band shows up at an EPIC
fil m and shows ten minu tes of
patriotic fi lms whi le humming
the Star Spangled Banner. You
would be outraged.
What you are attempting to do
is make a decision on what
shou ld and should not be a llowed
to happen on the Evergreen campus, if it is not personally to,
your liking. Well, if I had my
way, a whole lot of things wouldn' t be here on this campus, but
fortunately I don't. It makes for
a lot more diversity , I can assure
you. And it gives everyone the
freedom to choose that which
they do and do not wish to participate in, which I feel has just a
tiny bit of priority over your
making up my mind for me. If
you didn' t want to be there, you

didn't have to go . And a lot
more people would have enjoyed

You are no better than the

Ask the tw o individuals making

I am really concerned at peo ple as young as yourselves w ho
,have a lready turned into such
angry insecure racists. It beco mes
cl ear where all those rednecked,
old, pre judiced adults come from ,
doesn't it?
I do not agree with the mili tary. But just li ke rape, slavery,
persecu tion, concent ra ti on cam ps
and EPIC, they are all part of
us. And nothing will change un til we change. Kill ing murderers,
raping rapists, or de ny ing those
who de ny us just makes us part
of the problem, not the solution,
and our attitudes remain the
sa me.

12 % who are functionally iIIlte rerate but also mentioned that
there were a large number of studen ts on this campus who though
not in the functionally illiterate
bracket were not far fro m it and
I used the term "semi-literate" in
reference to them. This is a group
w ho have not developed their
communicative skills beyond the
9th grade level. By communicative skills I mean read ing, writing, listening, and speaking. I
hypothesize that as a result of
the ineptitude they tend to limit
their topics of d iscourse to the
cosmic, esoter i ~, autobiographica l, abstract, a bstru se, and meteorological, these being easier for
them in that they do not necess ita te the use and development of
reasoning a nd comprehension .
As for my ambiti ons - they
are concerned wi th improving
co mmunication on campus. I
hope the rest of the community
is supportive of that goal, and of
the pu blica ti ons that can help to
see it realized, e.g . the JOURNAL
and Tetrahedron.
The best support is part icipation.

Controversy
To the Editor:

Tuition
Protest
To the Editor:
We are members of the Statewide Committee to Fight the T uItio n Hike and The Evergreen
Student Defense Commi ttee, Everyo ne read in the CPj last week
about the five bills in the legislatu re that seek to raise tuition in
va rious ways, We won't reiterate
spec ifics of the bills (see last
week 's CPjl. What we want to
make clear is that a ll bills and
movements to raise tuition are
totally unacceptable to us, They
are a direct attack on students
and working people. Any increase in tuibon will further price
the cost of higher education out
of the reach of working people
and students; and yet, most jobs
require at least two years of college training, many a four-year
degree.
For the above reasons, a statewide demonstration has been
ca lled on SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 26th at 10 a.m. at the Capitol Rotunda. The demonstration
has been organized around the
follOWing three demands: 1 .) NO
tuition hike, 2.) No cutbacks in
educational classes or services,
and 3.) No tax increases on working people - tax the rich and
their corporations.
The Evergreen Student Defense
Committee formed in response to
the tuition hike. If the hike goes
through, we are planning a tuition strike spring quarter. Other
colleges, community colleges and
the UW have indicated that they
will strike if tuition goes up.
There will be petitions circulating
on campus asking people to
pledge their support to the strike
in the event of an increase. Regardless of the outcome of this
Issue, The Student Defense Committee will continue to defend
and fight for student and worker
int",-ests at Evergreen and on a
stakwide basis. Our next meeting 15 Friday, February 25th, at
noon in CAB 110. We will disCUSIS the tuition hike, talk about

the plans for the next day's demonstra tion and
discuss

Film Students
Take Aim
To the Editor:
Evergreen is an idealistic institution , and, like seemingly all
idealistic institut ions, Evergreen
is falling to corrupt ion . Its ideals
a re not being met; its potent ial is
not being realized, or utilized. In
the area of film-mak ing this situation is most apparent.
Students who come to Evergreer. are allowed to be responsi ble to themselves, to their own
education, and to the goa ls they
wish to achieve. They expect to
find an environment in which
creativity is allowed to thrive,
where individuality is encouraged
and maintained; an environment
in which students can pursue a
course of study in a free and nonrepressive fashion. One expects
to find support and understanding for the student and that student's aspirations. Anyone com ing to Evergreen is justified in
these expecta tions, and it is precisely these expectations that the
film students are trying desperately to achieve.
The film students are concerned about their education, or
rather the lack of one. We can't
understand how experienced students can be denied access to equipment which is here precisely
for their benefit. We feel that our
individual creative projects are
generally unsupported, and that
there are not any faculty available to give us the support we
need. We cannot accept the fact
that there is not a creative artist
in control of what is unquestionably a creative art.
Under the Social Contract
heading in the college catalogue
it states that it is a "requirement"
that "each member of the Ever-

green community concern him self w ith how the college can become a more productive, more
human e, and more supportive
place in which to learn." The film
students are doing exactly that.
In consideration for ourselves
and our future, for the college
a nd for future students to come,
the film students fi nd it a necessi ty to voice their dissatisfaction
wit h a si tua ti on that ha s gotten
out of hand , and to take an active role in determining possible
so lutions. It is disappointing that
the faculty involved have shown
so little support or cooperation
toward our concerns . What we
have heard is that there is a likelihood tha t film-making will be
d iscont inued at Evergreen because of its trouble and expense.
This is an unnecessary, irresponsible, and reactionary solution .
What is vitally needed is change;
change for the better, not for the
worse. The film students are doing w hat every dissatisfied student at Evergreen shou ld be doing: making a concerted effor t to
make this school live up to its
standards, to make it a "more
productive, more humane, and
more supportive place in which
to learn."

Fuss About
~ Baptists
To the Edi tor:
What's all this fuss about
Baptists on campus? Baptists are
nice people who sing all the
time. Of course they don't dance
much, but you can't hold that
against them. After all, our new
president is a Baptist , and we all
know he wouldn't hurt a fly.
Emily Latella
P .S. Never Mind.

A Victim of
Journalistic
. Interpolation
To the Editor:
During the last mo nth I have
been st rained through journalistic
interpo la tion and editing; misqu o ted, quoted out of context,
etc. Considering the shorthand
methods used for interviewing, I
am not surprised.
When trying to advertise our
ex istence and want of subm issions in the Happenings, my request for written and graphic
work from "students, facu lty,
and staff" was altered to a request for "articles" from "Evergreeners." Despite the amorphous
term "articles" and the grate of
the catch-all "Evergreeners" (like
a fork scrapi ng across a plate), I
could survive.
In the Newsletter the next week
we were "articled" again, Lynda
Hillman was referred to as "his
assistant," she is assistant and
graphics editor, we were referred
to as " two ambitious Evergreen
students," a delineation of tone
somewhat condescending, and I
was given a new last name. This
near loss of a g~od co-worker
and of identity could have been
persevered.
The following week I was interviewed by Stan Shore from
the COOPER POINT JOURNAL
and that Thursday "Literary
Magazine Founded (Again)"
came out with the JOURNAl.
(Stan, several years back, tried
to put out a magazine, Rainroots,
and then swam off, and inciden tally recently swam away from
his position in the COOPER
POINT closet.) The metaphor of
salmon was cute and hackneyed.
Here I found myself saying things
I had trouble believing and
though there were some phrases
near to the truth they lacked the
proper context in which to have
clear meanings.
The survival of a magazine,
journal, or newspaper is not only

dependent upon the abili ty and
direc ti ng of its staff b ut a lso upon
its public and their willingness to
support it th rough subm issions
and subscripti on. Frost was an
in-house clique sheet, the London
Fog was written almost entirely
by its e dit or, the COOPER
POINT JOURNAL is in need of
writers and ideas from people
w ith the mot ivation to participate
in the paper. Rainroots d id not
get the support through submissions it needed and Demiurge
suffered the same and worse
w hen its editorsh ip changed over
to a journalist.
I have ob liged myself to stay
here for the next three years to
see that PRESS and its firs t publica tion, Tetrahedron, survive that
long, if the Evergreen community
is supportive enoug h through
submissio ns. That length of time
is a good average of what is
needed fo r a magazine to formulate a personality and gain enough in stature to attract a
good staff and the needed sub missions.
I will publish Tetrahedron in
the spring or in the fall depending on submissions, even if it
consists of no more than the few
good writers I am now in touch
with .
Tetrahedron is the only thing
under PRESS's umbrella, however there are ideas such as a
monthly magazine and reintroduction of the quarterly Symposium on the board to be considered for next year. These are dependent on people coming in and
showing the drive, interest and
potential to give the ideas substance and direct them towards
actualization.
As concerns the Penny Press,
when interviewed I said I was
supportive of the idea of an open
forum workshop publication
such as their broadsheets but
that I was against the use of the
college sign on an unedited manuscript in distribution around
Thurston County, on the grounds
that it was poor in content and
resulted in such representation of
Evergreen and its potential.
In regards to my remarks
about literacy on campus, I not
only spoke to the problem of the

ering a tuition hike, and is likely
to put it into effect soon. This
results in two tuition hikes in a
very short period of time - all
at the expense of the students.
2) Out-of-state tuition ~ O ut of-laate students, some of whom
find it very difficult to cO.me up
with the $450 for tuition each
quarter would have to find a
way to scrounge up $675 in a
single semester. It is the same
a mount of money but 1. personally, would find it impossible to
pay half of my tuition a t one
time. Most students don't have
$675 ready cash .
3) Summer jobs - This was
listed in the memo bu t the full
weight of the problem wasn't
conveyed. The summer jobs that
students are most likely to get in
the northwest are nearly all seasona l. These jobs require work
until after Labor Day. An early
semester calendar would make
students ineligible for these jobs.
4) Overseas and fu ll- year programs - Most overseas a nd full year programs must divide the
year into three distinct time periods. With a quarter system this
isn't difficult, but wi th a semester
system it wou ld be almost impossible.
S) More time to learn? Would we really get more accompli shed in a semester than in
a quarter? I doubt it. I think tha t
in terest would tend to wane towards the end of the semester'
studen ts wou ld get restl ess .
quarte r is a short enough time
for a student to go full-speed all
the way, but you can't sprint on
a cross-country run.
6) Evaluations - I find it diffic ult (and I'm sure faculty do,
too) to look back on a quarter
and reflect on wha t I've done.
Even iF I have accomplished a
lot, it's hard to remember. A
semester is a long time. Eva luations wo uld be harder to write
for a ll in vo lved, they wou ld
probably be of poorer quality ,
and we wou ld get less of theml
7) The future - What will this
change lead to? I have been in vo lved with a lternative ed ucation
long enough to know that this is
one of the first steps toward Evergreen becoming the University
of Washington at O lympia. If
people let this proposal pass
without really investigating it,
the change may come sooner
than we think .
These are a few of my own
reaso ns for voting NO on the
Calendar Change Proposal. If the
people working in the Office of
the Registrar th ink tha t they can
sacrifice Evergreen's students to a
poor education so that they can
reduce their work load, they definitely don't belong at Evergreen.
Evergreen is supposed to be a
place to learn, not just to pass
the time.

A

I consider informa tion contained in "Co-op Corner" to be
of great interest to the students
of TESC; more important than
classified ads and certainly more
importa n t th a n many "news"
stories presently printed . I see the
co- op as a functioning service
group as the CPj should a lso be.
Th is means that the CPJ is responsible to prov ide information
from other service groups and
organizations that functi on to a id
and better the education available at and through TESC.
I urge you to have "Co -op
Corner" con tinue, and that you
a nd the CPj truly learn to provide the services we deserve.

Change of
Calendar
Conspiracy

Sincerely,
Tamara McCracken

To the Editor:
When I received the memorandum describing the Change of
Calendar Proposal in the mail, I
read it with near disbelief. The
memo was so obviously biased
toward the change that it makes
me fear for Evergreen.
The points listed under the
heading "Major Disadvantages
Adheren t in an Early Semester
Calendar" were inane and ridiculous I Whoever wrote the memo
didn't take into account the real
problems behind an early semester calendar. Let me list a few:
1) Tuition hikes - The early
semester system would save the
college approximately one-third
of its fees in collection, fee billing, etc. , but the students would
be paying the same amount of
tuition. This is a disguised tuition
hike . The state is already consid-

Rape, Slavery,
Persecution,
Concentration
Camps,
and EPIC
To the Editor:
I am finally forced to rep ly to
the ridiculous business of the Air
Force Band Concert and EPIC's
childish display of insecurity .
Your letter last week was very
touching. First it touched my
eyes, then my mouth, then my
brain, then my gut, until I was
finally so overwhelmed by your

pathetic green slimy attempt a t
making excuses for your insecurity, I had to put it down . Two
hundred years of racism, sex ism ,
oppression and persecution have
taught the w orld w ha t? How to
oppress others.
What right do you have dictating who can and cannot perform here? What right do you
exercise telling people about the
sick efforts of the military to recru it people under the guise of
entertainment while you yourse lves escort them into the arm s
of EPIC at the end of your article? Is it not, in a ny way, evident to yo u th at d ictating who
will or will not play here for any
reason is evidence of your own
insecurities? Are you so afraid
that at th e end of a performance
all in the audience w ill rise up en
masse and sign up for their own
Air Force bomber?
W ha t is the difference be tween
being rec ruited int o the Air Force
or being recruited into EPIC
when the recruiting is carried out
in either manner? Bot h are done
ou t of ignorance. Both are an a ttempt a t changing the attitudes
and sta tus of the world. A re yo u
propos ing to say then who is
right a nd who is wrong by using
the exact same tactic - propaganda? You gave people no freedom of choice - a t least the A ir
Force did that - they had to
look at you or leave . The resu lt
of this kind of action is hostility
towards yourselves a nd no change
in atti tu des.
Can you imagine what the
plight of Blacks in this country
would be had Mar tin Lu the r King
desegregated busses by forc ing
w hi tes to the back and seat ing
blacks in th e front with a machine gun in hi s hand? I realize
your protest was essentially a
peaceful one, but I did not exactly get the idea that there was
love in your hearts, kids. People
cha nged their minds then because
they had the freedom of choice
and the opportunity to make u~
their ow n minds. This, to me, is
the grea test example of a means
by which to cha nge. Forcing
your way into a performance,
interrupting the dignity of the
performers and forcing your audience to either view your p ropaganda or leave to me is not
freedom of choice. They did not
come to the performance to see
you. People have the opportunity to do that if they so choose.
Under the circumstances, I felt
the performers (who are, by the
way, human beings with fee lings,
and not mindless recruiting robots) handled the situation fairly
well. I wou ld like to see EPIC do
as well the day the entire Air
Force Band shows up at an EPIC
fil m and shows ten minu tes of
patriotic fi lms whi le humming
the Star Spangled Banner. You
would be outraged.
What you are attempting to do
is make a decision on what
shou ld and should not be a llowed
to happen on the Evergreen campus, if it is not personally to,
your liking. Well, if I had my
way, a whole lot of things wouldn' t be here on this campus, but
fortunately I don't. It makes for
a lot more diversity , I can assure
you. And it gives everyone the
freedom to choose that which
they do and do not wish to participate in, which I feel has just a
tiny bit of priority over your
making up my mind for me. If
you didn' t want to be there, you

didn't have to go . And a lot
more people would have enjoyed

You are no better than the
white slave owners making a decision that a ll Negroes we re ignorant black savages who enjoyed thei r new -found slavery,
or John Birchers who repea tedly
tell you that white screw ing
Black is not biologica lly natural .
Ask the tw o individuals making
love if it is natural or not.
I am really concerned at peo ple as young as yourselves w ho
,have a lready turned into such
angry insecure racists. It beco mes
cl ear where all those rednecked,
old, pre judiced adults come from ,
doesn't it?
I do not agree with the mili tary. But just li ke rape, slavery,
persecu tion, concent ra ti on cam ps
and EPIC, they are all part of
us. And nothing will change un til we change. Kill ing murderers,
raping rapists, or de ny ing those
who de ny us just makes us part
of the problem, not the solution,
and our attitudes remain the
sa me.
Yes , just as the poor insecure
Elks' Clubs have to keep out
Blacks fo r fear it will be revea led
that co loreds can read and write,

This is the third in a series of lists detailing the salaries of the
employees of The Evergreen State College. All salaries of state empoyees are public information.
This list details students who received paychecks from the college for the month of January 1977. The first set of figures in the
third column is the hourly wage, the second set of figures is the
total dollar amount received for January.
Student wages ,' are scaled to the skills and responsibilites involved in each specific job, and the period of time the student has
been work ing at t.he college . Students cannot receive less per hour
for a new job than th ey received for a previous job, even if the
classi fication is lower . Students cannot work more than 19 hours
a week, unless they are on an internship. Most positions are set at
l5 hours a week, but many students work fewer hours . Some position s, such as lifegua rd, operate on a sta ndby or fill -in basis,
and studen ts in such jobs m igh t work only a fe~ hours a month.
Unavo idably, some students currently employed by the co llege
have been left off this list . The reasons vary: in several cases students did not fill out their tax forms soon enough to receive a
paycheck before the publication date. But the list is as complete as
we can make it.
NOTE: Due to limitations of space, not all student salaries can
be listed this week. The list will be concluded next issue .

would be to close the one that has the
s ma ll er class load.
CPj: Did the leave that President McCann got have much to do with this bill?
Rasmussen: I Ihink that it probably
point ed out more t han anything the fa ct
that they're wast ing money out there. And
then that brought to the attention of the
legislature that we have , apparently, on ly
79 Ifreshmen in fall quarter direct from
high sc hool I from in -sta te, and it seemed
rather foolish to keep a schoo l open that
on ly could attract that many students
from in -s tate.
CP j : Are there any political motives,
at least on your part, with Evans being
appointed as the new president?
Rasmussen: No, I don 't think so. It's
just purely a matter of cost. Do you keep
four co lleges open and run them at halfload. or do you concentrate the load and
run them at capacity7
CPj: What are the bill's chances of
passing?
Rasmussen: I think it has an excellent
chance . The chairman of the Ways and
Means committee is very much interested
in the do llars savings . ISenator Hubert

Donohue (D ) is chai rman of the Ways and
Means committee and a co-sponsor of th e
bill. J
C P J: The bill is in the Higher Education
commi ttee now. If it fails there, could it
go around that?
Rasmussen: Yes. It could come up any
number of ways .
CPj: Did you vote for Evergreen in
1967 when it was founded?
Rasmussen: I think I did. We had high
hopes .. . At that time our school populatio n was going up rapidly. But right
from the primary grades on up it's now
on a downward curve.
CPj: Would you say that Evergreen's
"alternative" methods and the insinuation
by other legislators in the past that there
are nothing but "hippies and poets" attending there has had anything to do with
this bill?
Rasmussen : I think there are a lot of
very nice young people .out there. And
you can have hippies and poets any place.
The world has to have some of them to
keep it on balance. No , that doesn't have
anything to do with the bill. It's strict ly a
matter of economics. You just can't continue to operate that many colleges . Presi-

dent Hogness over at the University of
Was hingto n, in one of his speeches. is anticipat ing a reduction of about 325 to 375.
professors, which is a huge reduction. But
when you start getting more instructors
than you have student s you must make a
cha nge.
CPJ: The University -of Washington
Board of Regents said they didn't want
Evergreen.
Rasmussen: That's probably true . They
can see.I\heir declining class load also.
CPJ: But it doesn't make any difference
to you that the University of Washington
doesn't want Evergreen?
Rasmussen: Well, y.ou have to start a
phase-out sometime . And as the bill progresses through the legis lature it may be
changed. It may just provide for a termi nation date sometime a year from now so
that the students ca n transfer to other
places. We've had com munications from
community colleges and the o ther colleges
and they indicate that they'd have no
problem absorbing the student load from
Evergreen. And you can understand of
course that a coll ege that has 2,500 stu dents wou ld find it very difficult to expand enough to ta ke in th e 8 - 10,000 stu dents that some of our other co lleges have .
So that's w hy it would probably be Ever green that would be closed.

J.R.R. TOLKIEN NEWS BULLETIN DEPARTMENT
All good chil dre n of the late '60's
and early 70's devoured The Hobbit
and the Lord of the Rings trilogy.
and most of us were left hungry for
more. But Professor Tolkien, who
had tho ught up Middle Earth back
in 1917, left us nothi ng else when
he died four years ago but some
corny poems and a few boring
scholarly essays. By th is time Tolklen 's world had become a small
industry, with Hobbit calendars ,
maps, posters, and a number of
pseudo-serious books exp licating
the professor's work .
The Tolklen cult is showing s igns
of life once more. Ralph Baks i. who
made the animated version of R.
Crumb's Fntz the Cal , is now at
work on a cartoon-version of Lord
01 the Rings. And the big news is
that To lkien's legendary seque l
(which some doubted even existed)
has been edited and rearranged by
his son Ch ristopher, and will be
published late this year. It will be
called The Simanlllon, and its final
section, "Of the Rings of Power
and the Third Age," will link the
book's events to those of Tolkien's
earlier works .

Bellow & Me," by Susan Dworkin .
A warning to young writers about
idolizing the greats, in the form of
a memoir about a writers' confer-

was 19.
"About my work, Sau l Bellow
said : very good . Howa ld are you?
Nineteen? Well . very good . Just
fine. You' lI be a good wri ter.
"One evening toward the end of
the Writers' Conference. there was
a party; I was lu rking in a corner
and quite unintentionally, I swear,
overheard Sau l Bellow say to someone that he always told young writers they were good.

This is the third in a series of lists detailing the salaries of the
employees of The Evergreen State College. All salaries of state empoyees are public information.
This list details students who received paychecks from the college for the month of January 1977. The first set of figures in the
third column is the hourly wage, the second set of figures is the
total dollar amount received for January.
Student wages ,' are scaled to the skills and responsibilites involved in each specific job, and the period of time the student has
been work ing at t.he college . Students cannot receive less per hour
for a new job than th ey received for a previous job, even if the
classi fication is lower . Students cannot work more than 19 hours
a week, unless they are on an internship. Most positions are set at
l5 hours a week, but many students work fewer hours . Some position s, such as lifegua rd, operate on a sta ndby or fill -in basis,
and studen ts in such jobs m igh t work only a fe~ hours a month.
Unavo idably, some students currently employed by the co llege
have been left off this list . The reasons vary: in several cases students did not fill out their tax forms soon enough to receive a
paycheck before the publication date. But the list is as complete as
we can make it.
NOTE: Due to limitations of space, not all student salaries can
be listed this week. The list will be concluded next issue .

would be to close the one that has the
s ma ll er class load.
CPj: Did the leave that President McCann got have much to do with this bill?
Rasmussen: I Ihink that it probably
point ed out more t han anything the fa ct
that they're wast ing money out there. And
then that brought to the attention of the
legislature that we have , apparently, on ly
79 Ifreshmen in fall quarter direct from
high sc hool I from in -sta te, and it seemed
rather foolish to keep a schoo l open that
on ly could attract that many students
from in -s tate.
CP j : Are there any political motives,
at least on your part, with Evans being
appointed as the new president?
Rasmussen: No, I don 't think so. It's
just purely a matter of cost. Do you keep
four co lleges open and run them at halfload. or do you concentrate the load and
run them at capacity7
CPj: What are the bill's chances of
passing?
Rasmussen: I think it has an excellent
chance . The chairman of the Ways and
Means committee is very much interested
in the do llars savings . ISenator Hubert

Donohue (D ) is chai rman of the Ways and
Means committee and a co-sponsor of th e
bill. J
C P J: The bill is in the Higher Education
commi ttee now. If it fails there, could it
go around that?
Rasmussen: Yes. It could come up any
number of ways .
CPj: Did you vote for Evergreen in
1967 when it was founded?
Rasmussen: I think I did. We had high
hopes .. . At that time our school populatio n was going up rapidly. But right
from the primary grades on up it's now
on a downward curve.
CPj: Would you say that Evergreen's
"alternative" methods and the insinuation
by other legislators in the past that there
are nothing but "hippies and poets" attending there has had anything to do with
this bill?
Rasmussen : I think there are a lot of
very nice young people .out there. And
you can have hippies and poets any place.
The world has to have some of them to
keep it on balance. No , that doesn't have
anything to do with the bill. It's strict ly a
matter of economics. You just can't continue to operate that many colleges . Presi-

dent Hogness over at the University of
Was hingto n, in one of his speeches. is anticipat ing a reduction of about 325 to 375.
professors, which is a huge reduction. But
when you start getting more instructors
than you have student s you must make a
cha nge.
CPJ: The University -of Washington
Board of Regents said they didn't want
Evergreen.
Rasmussen: That's probably true . They
can see.I\heir declining class load also.
CPJ: But it doesn't make any difference
to you that the University of Washington
doesn't want Evergreen?
Rasmussen: Well, y.ou have to start a
phase-out sometime . And as the bill progresses through the legis lature it may be
changed. It may just provide for a termi nation date sometime a year from now so
that the students ca n transfer to other
places. We've had com munications from
community colleges and the o ther colleges
and they indicate that they'd have no
problem absorbing the student load from
Evergreen. And you can understand of
course that a coll ege that has 2,500 stu dents wou ld find it very difficult to expand enough to ta ke in th e 8 - 10,000 stu dents that some of our other co lleges have .
So that's w hy it would probably be Ever green that would be closed.

J.R.R. TOLKIEN NEWS BULLETIN DEPARTMENT
All good chil dre n of the late '60's
and early 70's devoured The Hobbit
and the Lord of the Rings trilogy.
and most of us were left hungry for
more. But Professor Tolkien, who
had tho ught up Middle Earth back
in 1917, left us nothi ng else when
he died four years ago but some
corny poems and a few boring
scholarly essays. By th is time Tolklen 's world had become a small
industry, with Hobbit calendars ,
maps, posters, and a number of
pseudo-serious books exp licating
the professor's work .
The Tolklen cult is showing s igns
of life once more. Ralph Baks i. who
made the animated version of R.
Crumb's Fntz the Cal , is now at
work on a cartoon-version of Lord
01 the Rings. And the big news is
that To lkien's legendary seque l
(which some doubted even existed)
has been edited and rearranged by
his son Ch ristopher, and will be
published late this year. It will be
called The Simanlllon, and its final
section, "Of the Rings of Power
and the Third Age," will link the
book's events to those of Tolkien's
earlier works .

by John S . Foster
Editor's note: John S. Foster,
former music director of KAOSFM, is currently living in Brooklyn, where he has immersed himself in the New York Punk rock
scene.
It is now very hip to admit
liking some of the things most of
us take pride in disdaining . For
example, what cou ld be more. hip
than wearing a button that says
" I LIKE AMERICA"? Very classy . . . plain lettering, all blue on
white, except for the thin red line
under " like." Too much . Especially attractive in contrast to
those awful yellow smiley buttons that turn our stomachs. It
reminds us that "camp" is not
only gauche, but passe as well.
"I speeet on your smiley button l"
I'm afra id I've strayed from
the poi nt. As an acute observer
of the socia l scene (only the trashy
would make the "a cute observer"
pun) and, indeed , as a partaker
of many slices of life's pie, it is
obvious that the following truths
are self-evident (another dubious
literary device): The Dick Van
Dyke Show and Get Smart are
all right, but to admit crying at
The Waltons is unacceptable. To
watch Kojak reruns rather than
It Happened One Night is abominable, but Kojak reruns do take
precedence over four-hour silent
masterp ieces on the Russian Revo lution. All "with-it" New Yorkers know it is cool to live in
Brooklyn, but not on the Upper
East Side. It is okay to disbelieve
in New Jersey but not in North
Dakota. I am even thrilled to
have a friend from South Da kota. To live on the east side of
O ly is fine, but Lacey? Forget it .
On the other hand, having a
mysterious friend in Lacey is a
pl us. Sea Mart, si. Safeway is

ou t. Seven-Eleven, never - except to buy Hustler, a truly disgusting magazine. Playboy is for
the libera l gen tleman, and we
know what we think of them. To
be Playgirl's Natural Man is an
admirable ambition, especially if
you're a woman . Earth shoes,
down jackets - don't make me
laugh . An o ld black leather jacket
or rat fur coat will do. New?
Synthet ic? Are you human? Does
it matter? And sneakers. Canvas
sneakers. Pumas, Adidas, and
the like are embarrassingly out
of place. Now that all the boys
and girls (a ccep tabl e address)
have shorn their locks, it becomes obvious that the timid
soul who never did will have the
last la ugh . By the time you've
grown it back, it will be time to
cut it again. Fashion is cruel.
Every adventurer should have
a tattoo and a gold tooth, nine
holes pierced in either ear, or
both. This reflects the changing
of social mores. As you scream
out your identity, which has
taken a lifetime to resolve, you
find that nobody cares. Anyone
may wear a bra . Those who do
may also wear tons of mascara,
but they must be very careful not
to shave any bodily hair - even
the pubic area . My mother deliberately removes the hairs from
her upper lip, but she is o ld and
knows not what she does.
There is nothing wrong with
liking fluff or Jello or cheap ice
cream or vegetable-process sausages. Wonder Bread is another
t hin g a ltoge ther. Historically
Wonder Bread is one of America's disgraces, right up there
with sending Japanese-Americans
to prison camps during the glory
days of FDR . It's okay to like
Harry Truman because of that
play, but don't forget what he
done. And feel sorry for Dick
Nixon, but remember, he ain't
dead yet. When talking polit ics,

Softening That Cynical Sneer

taking on the grammatical flair
of a grizz led prospector is expected. Eating out? Jack In the
Box is a denial of good sense.
Take it from me, the survivor. I
would stick with the rustic, the
aging, or the organo .
It is hip not to like Even Cowgirls Get the Blues before reading
it. Rolling Stone is looking archaic. I read the Village Voice,
Punk, a nd Who Put the Bomp!
even though I realize that the
Voice is like KZAM - my least
favorite of the ones worth con sidering. In Brooklyn I don't get
KAOS, but I'd like it just fine if
every time someone was going to
talk they'd play Iggy and the
Stooges instead. I see we've
drifted to mu's ic, my forte , but
I'll save it for later.
An idle confession: I want to
see the new D isney film about
the girl whose brain is switched
with her mother's, Small Change
by Truffa ut, and Chaplin's A
Woman of Paris. I've never seen
King of Hearts or Harold .and
Maude, but I did see Tall Blond
Man With One Black Shoe_
Baseball is a game for the
young and fierce.
The eggs, once hardboiled,
now come 50ft.
Lou Reed's Berlin, Cale's
Paris 1919
Baudelaire, Artaud, Genet,
Rimbaud .
It is OK to go to Paris but
who wants to go to
Rome?
Verla ine stands by the
threshold weeping.
"The hip say I'm depraved.
I want to hear 'Silly
Love Songs' again
and again ."
"Que l'hiver vous soit court
et I' annee heureuse I
Je me porte toujours bien,
dans ce sale pays."

by Matt Groening
AND NOW MY LOVE, directed by Claude Lelouch; screenplay by Lelouch and Pierre Uytterhoeven; music by Francis Lai;
121 minutes; MP AA PG rating.
The film will be shown on Friday, February 25, at 3, 7, and 10
p.m ., in LH One. Admission is
75 cents.
Claude Lelouch is the man responsible for A Man and a Woman, that s li ck, 1966 romance
movie which featured an attractive young coup le running along
a sandy shore a t low tide - wait,
don' t stop reading ! Lelo uch has
wised up in every way but in his
selection of movie titles. AND
NOW MY LOVE (originally Tout
Une Vie) is a slick, 1975 romance
movie which features a man and
a woman - please don't stop
reading - who do not meet until the last few minutes of the
film, only to fall in love with
each o ther at first sight. The
plausibility of this mushy cliche
is backed up by a couple of hours
of explo ration of the two generations that preceded them , and by
the time we get to those last three
minutes of instant, fa iry-tale
love, Lelouch has got us hooked .
The gimmick - paral leling
disparate fam ily histories over a
number of decades sounds
awful, but Lelouch's result is
clever, light, slightly cynical, and
o nly rarely overdone. We are
continua ll y surprised wi th out
feeling cheated, and within Lelouch's elaborate set-up we get
short, simple. and often funny
observations about the moods
and moralities of each generation .
The film begins with pre-World
War I silent footage of a young
Parisian cameraman wooing his
lady love, and soon they are

married. But by the war's end,
the woman is a widow with a
sma ll son , and it is not much solace for her to rece ive her husband's post humously-awarded
medal. The general who gives
her the medal marries a dancer,
who gives birth to a girl which
the ge neral fears he may not
have fathered; in a rage, he
sh oots his wife. That's it fo r one
genera ti on,
The movie zips along th rough
the 1920's and '30'5, gaining cinematic innovations a long with the
years, and by the end of World
War II, the dancer's daughter
and the cameraman' s so n - both
concentratio n camp survivors meet and marry. Their daughter
Sarah grows up rich and spoiled,
and falls in love with the slick
pop singer Gilbert Becaud. Meanwhi le, a thief named Simon enters a record store and stuffs a
few Becaud records under his
coat ...
This plot s ummary will not

Fiat

by John S . Foster
Editor's note: John S. Foster,
former music director of KAOSFM, is currently living in Brooklyn, where he has immersed himself in the New York Punk rock
scene.
It is now very hip to admit
liking some of the things most of
us take pride in disdaining . For
example, what cou ld be more. hip
than wearing a button that says
" I LIKE AMERICA"? Very classy . . . plain lettering, all blue on
white, except for the thin red line
under " like." Too much . Especially attractive in contrast to
those awful yellow smiley buttons that turn our stomachs. It
reminds us that "camp" is not
only gauche, but passe as well.
"I speeet on your smiley button l"
I'm afra id I've strayed from
the poi nt. As an acute observer
of the socia l scene (only the trashy
would make the "a cute observer"
pun) and, indeed , as a partaker
of many slices of life's pie, it is
obvious that the following truths
are self-evident (another dubious
literary device): The Dick Van
Dyke Show and Get Smart are
all right, but to admit crying at
The Waltons is unacceptable. To
watch Kojak reruns rather than
It Happened One Night is abominable, but Kojak reruns do take
precedence over four-hour silent
masterp ieces on the Russian Revo lution. All "with-it" New Yorkers know it is cool to live in
Brooklyn, but not on the Upper
East Side. It is okay to disbelieve
in New Jersey but not in North
Dakota. I am even thrilled to
have a friend from South Da kota. To live on the east side of
O ly is fine, but Lacey? Forget it .
On the other hand, having a
mysterious friend in Lacey is a
pl us. Sea Mart, si. Safeway is

ou t. Seven-Eleven, never - except to buy Hustler, a truly disgusting magazine. Playboy is for
the libera l gen tleman, and we
know what we think of them. To
be Playgirl's Natural Man is an
admirable ambition, especially if
you're a woman . Earth shoes,
down jackets - don't make me
laugh . An o ld black leather jacket
or rat fur coat will do. New?
Synthet ic? Are you human? Does
it matter? And sneakers. Canvas
sneakers. Pumas, Adidas, and
the like are embarrassingly out
of place. Now that all the boys
and girls (a ccep tabl e address)
have shorn their locks, it becomes obvious that the timid
soul who never did will have the
last la ugh . By the time you've
grown it back, it will be time to
cut it again. Fashion is cruel.
Every adventurer should have
a tattoo and a gold tooth, nine
holes pierced in either ear, or
both. This reflects the changing
of social mores. As you scream
out your identity, which has
taken a lifetime to resolve, you
find that nobody cares. Anyone
may wear a bra . Those who do
may also wear tons of mascara,
but they must be very careful not
to shave any bodily hair - even
the pubic area . My mother deliberately removes the hairs from
her upper lip, but she is o ld and
knows not what she does.
There is nothing wrong with
liking fluff or Jello or cheap ice
cream or vegetable-process sausages. Wonder Bread is another
t hin g a ltoge ther. Historically
Wonder Bread is one of America's disgraces, right up there
with sending Japanese-Americans
to prison camps during the glory
days of FDR . It's okay to like
Harry Truman because of that
play, but don't forget what he
done. And feel sorry for Dick
Nixon, but remember, he ain't
dead yet. When talking polit ics,

Softening That Cynical Sneer

taking on the grammatical flair
of a grizz led prospector is expected. Eating out? Jack In the
Box is a denial of good sense.
Take it from me, the survivor. I
would stick with the rustic, the
aging, or the organo .
It is hip not to like Even Cowgirls Get the Blues before reading
it. Rolling Stone is looking archaic. I read the Village Voice,
Punk, a nd Who Put the Bomp!
even though I realize that the
Voice is like KZAM - my least
favorite of the ones worth con sidering. In Brooklyn I don't get
KAOS, but I'd like it just fine if
every time someone was going to
talk they'd play Iggy and the
Stooges instead. I see we've
drifted to mu's ic, my forte , but
I'll save it for later.
An idle confession: I want to
see the new D isney film about
the girl whose brain is switched
with her mother's, Small Change
by Truffa ut, and Chaplin's A
Woman of Paris. I've never seen
King of Hearts or Harold .and
Maude, but I did see Tall Blond
Man With One Black Shoe_
Baseball is a game for the
young and fierce.
The eggs, once hardboiled,
now come 50ft.
Lou Reed's Berlin, Cale's
Paris 1919
Baudelaire, Artaud, Genet,
Rimbaud .
It is OK to go to Paris but
who wants to go to
Rome?
Verla ine stands by the
threshold weeping.
"The hip say I'm depraved.
I want to hear 'Silly
Love Songs' again
and again ."
"Que l'hiver vous soit court
et I' annee heureuse I
Je me porte toujours bien,
dans ce sale pays."

by Matt Groening
AND NOW MY LOVE, directed by Claude Lelouch; screenplay by Lelouch and Pierre Uytterhoeven; music by Francis Lai;
121 minutes; MP AA PG rating.
The film will be shown on Friday, February 25, at 3, 7, and 10
p.m ., in LH One. Admission is
75 cents.
Claude Lelouch is the man responsible for A Man and a Woman, that s li ck, 1966 romance
movie which featured an attractive young coup le running along
a sandy shore a t low tide - wait,
don' t stop reading ! Lelo uch has
wised up in every way but in his
selection of movie titles. AND
NOW MY LOVE (originally Tout
Une Vie) is a slick, 1975 romance
movie which features a man and
a woman - please don't stop
reading - who do not meet until the last few minutes of the
film, only to fall in love with
each o ther at first sight. The
plausibility of this mushy cliche
is backed up by a couple of hours
of explo ration of the two generations that preceded them , and by
the time we get to those last three
minutes of instant, fa iry-tale
love, Lelouch has got us hooked .
The gimmick - paral leling
disparate fam ily histories over a
number of decades sounds
awful, but Lelouch's result is
clever, light, slightly cynical, and
o nly rarely overdone. We are
continua ll y surprised wi th out
feeling cheated, and within Lelouch's elaborate set-up we get
short, simple. and often funny
observations about the moods
and moralities of each generation .
The film begins with pre-World
War I silent footage of a young
Parisian cameraman wooing his
lady love, and soon they are

married. But by the war's end,
the woman is a widow with a
sma ll son , and it is not much solace for her to rece ive her husband's post humously-awarded
medal. The general who gives
her the medal marries a dancer,
who gives birth to a girl which
the ge neral fears he may not
have fathered; in a rage, he
sh oots his wife. That's it fo r one
genera ti on,
The movie zips along th rough
the 1920's and '30'5, gaining cinematic innovations a long with the
years, and by the end of World
War II, the dancer's daughter
and the cameraman' s so n - both
concentratio n camp survivors meet and marry. Their daughter
Sarah grows up rich and spoiled,
and falls in love with the slick
pop singer Gilbert Becaud. Meanwhi le, a thief named Simon enters a record store and stuffs a
few Becaud records under his
coat ...
This plot s ummary will not
continue in such alarming detail,
50 rest easy. The little bit that is
described here is merely to give
you an idea of the line the movie
runs a long, and it will not detract from your en joyment. Many
surprises and sma ll touches are
left to surprise and dazzle you .
The rest of the movie chronicles the separate lives of Simon
and Sarah through the 1960's
and '70's, wi th Sarah enduring
the boredom of total leisure, and
Simon struggling to stay out of
prison, making porno movies,
TV commerc ials, a nd finally, a
full - length feature, about a man
and a woman . . . please don't
stop reading.
Sarah is played by Marthe
Keller (who also plays her own
mother and grandmother), and
she does an excellent job. Andre
Dusollier as Simon is very good,
and Charles Denner, who plays

Sara h's father and grandfath er,
tops them a ll. Jean CoIlomb's
photography , which features
scenes sho t all over the world , is
often breathtaki ng, and Lelouch 's
direction and script (co-written
with Pierre Uytterhoeven) a re
pleasantly in control.
You don't have to buy Lelouch's d e te rmini st ve rs ion of
love at a ll to enjoy it. If a man
and a woman trott ing toward
each other on a bea ch at low tide
makes you gag - a healthy reaction, of course - then what
you need is AND NOW MY

Yet Another Evergreen Threat

by Brad Pokorny
Evergreen currently faces perhaps its
grea test threat since the college opened in
1971. Last week, a bi ll was introduced into the state senate which, if passed, would
turn Evergreen into a satellite graduate
studies fac ility of the University of Washington, effective this July . Senate Bill No.
2866 is presently awaiting a hearing in the
Sena te Higher Education Committee. Sen.
Gordon Sandi~o n (0), the cha irman of
the committee and a long-time ally of Evergree n, thinks the bill has a chance of
making it through the comm ittee and onto
the floor. "It's got pretty good backers,"
he said.
The bill is sponsored by four Senators:
Hubert Donohue (0)' chairman of the
Ways and Means Committee and a member of the Higher Education committee;
A. L. "Slim" Rasmussen (0 ), chairman of
the State Government Committee and a
member of the Ways and Means Committee: August Ma rdes ich (D) a member of
the Ways a nd Means Committee, among
ot he rs; an d Sa m Guess (RL a member of
the Hi g her Edu-::ation Committee. Between
these men lies a g reat deal of power in the
Senate . Sandison said of Rasmussen , "He
has made probably more s ub s tantive
changes in the laws o f the state than any
other person now in the legis lature ."
The chief reason fo r the bill 's introduc tion seems to be co ncern over the cost of
Evergreen . Mardesich called it a matter of
cost eltec tlvE:ness ." He said: . I suppose
when you ge t down to it, that' s w hat thi s
w hole job is about, to ge t your buck's
wo rth fo r what you ' re paying in terms of
the s ta te ."
.
Rasmussen was the senator who first
questioned Dan Evans' appo intment as the
next president of Evergreen , and it has
been specu lated that there might be politi cal motives behind his part in the bill. as
he has long been considered a politica l foe
of Evans. Mardesich said, "Rasmussen
might have po lit ical motives , but that's
Rasmussen. He's a po li tical animal." Ras mussen denied that his motives concerned
a nything but th e cost of operating Evergreen (see interview this page) .
Sandison admitted that the hiring of
Evans and the "genel"Ous" leave granted
President McCann might have something
to do with the bill, but he also said that

"Eve rgreen has been under fire since it
started. "
Under the provisions of the bill all credits and evaluations of Evergreen students
would be accepted by the University of
Washington as if they had been attending
there. All employees of the college , including faculty, would be turned over to
the University until the expiration of their
contracts, after which the University would
be free to hire or fi re as they chose.
The University of Washington Board of
Regents has indicated that it really does
not want Evergreen. but the senators all
said that it did not make much difference
to them. " We give them a lo t of things
they don't want, " Sa n dison quipped.
"We're not going to give them the whole
budget they asked for this year."

Mardesich felt that part of the reason
Evergreen is not cost-effective is because
too many students are getting credit without producing enough. "If you have a student who is highly motivated on his own,
you d on' t have any problems," he said.
" But I get the feeling that most people are
not highly motivated without a prod on
occasion. And the prod is getting your
grades ." Mardesich commented that he
had never been to v isit Evergreen, saying,
" What ca n you learn by going to the campus?" He said he didn' t know about the
bill's chances, and indicated he signed on
as a sponsor because he was asked. ''I'm
not that excited about it one way or the
other, " he said.
There is some talk that the bill may just
be a way of getting at tent ion for it s spon-

sors, and that it does not p~ a real threat
to the college. And one must consider that
the sponsors of a bill will rarel y admit
that it does not have a good chance of
passing before the bill comes up for a
vote . Also, senate members usually will
not bad-mouth another senator's bill until
it comes up in committee or on the floor .
A bill as drastic and important as thi s
one will necessarily take some time to
work through the legislative process. 13e fore it can gain much support its el'lkts
will have to be carefully researched. a task
th at cou ld last beyond this session. And If
the bill makes it through the Senate , il
must still contend with the House and the
G o vernor.
The Higher Education Committee has
not yet scheduled a hearing on the bill.

The Man Who Wants to Close Evergreen
Sena tor A.L. "Slim" Rasmussen is the
man who seems most responsible for the
drive to close down Evergreen and turn it
into a satellite campus of the University of
Washington. Yesterday morning Manag ing Edi tor Brad Pokorny stationed himself
outside Rasmussen's office and ' secured a
brief interview with him. Pokorny reports
that Rasmussen was friendl y. The interview follows .
CP j : Why do you want to turn Evergreen into a graduate facility of th e Uni versity of Washington ?
Rasmussen: [ th ink that 's a temporary
move, to make it a bra nch of the UW.
Right now the university is overloaderl
w ith graduate studen ts. Thi s will a llow a
temporary shift in the loa d . and then
probab ly it' ll be made into a satellite campus for state office buildings. Bert Cole 's
office needs more space . We can use the
d ormitories fo r a C. C. camp, and it ju st
seems like an excellent way of util izing
those buildings .
CPj: You don't think that the buildings
are fully utilized now?
Rasmussen : No, the class load is down
there, and c-f course o ne of the problem s
is that there are very few in-state students.
Most of them are out-of-state .
CPj: Why not pass a law limiting the
number of out-of-state students, and limiting the educa tion al costs, instead of clos-

ing Evergreen?
Rasmussen: Yo u hit Lpon a very pertinent point then '. It cost s us $} ,OOO more
per student to educate a young person at
Evergree n. I think that the solution is, with
.the decreasi ng co llege population , we don't
have the need for that facility any longer.
Class loads are dQwn at Eastern, Central,

Wes tern , and the community colleges. So
it 's go ing to be [·ecessary tu close dow n
some of the inst itllti om and run the ot hers
at capacity.
CPj: Why not close down one of th e
other institutions instead of Evergreen?
Rasmussen: The lo~ ica l thin g. of cou r, "

by Karrie jacobs
While state senators A. L. Rasmussen
and Hubert Donohue are taking action to
radically alter Evergreen because they
think that the college costs too much to
run, students here are organizing to pro test proposed state college and university
tuition hikes because they feel that Evergreen will cost too much to attend.
The Student Defense Committee has
formed at Evergreen to organize schoolw ide opposition to the tuition hike. The
Evergreen committee is just one group in
a state- wide network created to unify
Washington's college students and fight
for their needs and interests.
The committees have planned a demonstration against the tuition hike, to take
place on the capital campus on Saturday,
February 26th, the day that the final House
Higher Education Committee public hearing on the issue will be held .
The Evergreen Student Defense Committee has put forth three "principles of
unity" expressing their views:
1. No tuition hike; open admissions and
free tuition for all.
2. No cutbacks in educational goods
and services.
3. Overhaul Washington's regressive tax
system ; tax the corporations and the rich,
not the poor .

The Student Defense Committee says
that the tuition increase is due to a lack of
funds in the state, and attributes this shortage to Washington's tax structure, claim ing that it overburdens the poor and

shou ld be overhau led.
The question has arisen as to whether It
would be in Evergreen's best interest to
make an appearance at a uemonstrat!on
protesting the tuiti on hike when the co l-

lege is being threatened by Senate Bill
2866 which would turn Evergreen int o an
adjunct of the University of Washington
in onler to save money .
To m Thacker, of the Student Defense
Committee here, felt that there was no
reaso n to back down on the prot est. He
emphasized that Eve rgreen was n ot the
only college involved and that it is a statf' wide effort.
"Even with someth ing like th at i Bill
2866 1 lo o ming,"' sa id Thacker , "we ca n' l
compromise our demands, co mp romisf'
our principles of unity with the o ther stat e
colleges . If that bill went thro ugh. t he re
would be widespread protest through ou t
the college, and w e could ex pect so lida rity
from other colll'ges ."
When asked whether he thought th e
studen t rally o n t uiti on would affect Judg ment on the Evergreen b ill , Senator Gordon Sandiso n. cha irman of the Sena l!e
Committe" on Higher Educatio n said, .. j
don't th inf. Ihat we 'd notice it too mu ch
\Ve ha ve a ra lly here every day." '
