Proposal
to the Evergreen Community
In view of the response that has been received from the
community on publication of the first three issues of 'The
Paper", it should be recognized that the community is
cognizant of the need of this form of communication. This
publication would include local and community events, but
also would cover world and national struggles, conflicts and
events. However, due to the lack of funds, it is impossible to
continue to fulfill this need.
It is recognized that there are interested people who have
had previous experience in all major aspects of newspaper
work and it is planned to exploit this knowledge and apply it
in educational workshops for interested community
members, with the intent of becoming members of the
Co-operative.
After numerous organizational and philosophical sessions
the following procedure for operation has been temporarily
adopted.
The proposal is:
(I) The newspaper will be published weekly, will be
tabloid size (9 7/8" X 14 5/8" per page copy), and will be a
base of eight pages.
(2) The staff organization will depart from traditional set
positions such as editor, manager, etc., and will be a
co-operative. The organization of which will allow each
member of the co-operative to experience all facets of
newspaper work.
(3) A working member of the co-operative is a person who
has performed a publishing function for; two issues of the
newspaper.

VOLUME I, NUMBER 4

(4) Working members should consist of students, faculty
and administration interested in working on the paper.
(5) In the functioning co-operative, all working members
will be required to attend weekly issue planning s~ssions and
will be trained through practice in publishing functions.
(6) Temporary individual functions ":'ithin the
co-operative will be decided upon by the co-operative. .
(7) A working editorial board will be established
consisting of working members of the co-opera:ive pres~nt at
the weekly planning session and/or representatives appomted
by them. (see no. 3 & 4) The editorial board ~eserves the .sole
right to decide what will be published, and will not submit to
any form of external censorship. Shall adhere to state laws
regarding libel and invasion of privacy.
.
.
(8) The co-operative hopes to receive contmuous
evaluation of the newspaper by · the TESC Community .. The
form of which is left to be decided later.
(9) Any organizational or philosophical changes of the
newspaper will be decided by working members of the
co-operative.
We recognize that the goal of this publication will be to
improve communication within the Evergreen Community by
providing a forum for the free expression of ideas and to aid
in social change through (but not limited to) advocate
presentations.
All money received from Student and Activity fees will be
deposited in "The Paper Co-operative" account and
withdrawn on a per-issue cost basis. With.drawals must have
the approva I of all account co-signers.

THE EVERGREEN STATE COLLEGE, Olympia, Washington 98505

Wednesday: Costigan
Dr . G i o v a n ni C o s tigan,
University of Washington
professor and world champion
debater, will speak of
involvement to all interested
parties at Evergreen, Wednesday,
Jan. 26. Dr. Costigan, whose field
is Asian Studies, recently
renewed his debating fame from a
triumphant confrontation with
William F. Buckley, Jr., before
some 8,000 people at the
University of Washington.
Prof. Costigan intends to
discuss the pressing need for
student involvement in the
political arena from presidential

politics to city councilman.
Accompanying Costigan will
be Rick Ring, State Student
Co-ordinator for the McGovern
for President Campaign, with
which Dr. Costigan is also
afftliated.
Following his speech, which
will be at 2 p.m. in Lecture Hall
One, Costigan and Ring will meet
with members and
prospective-members of the
TESC McGovern Club to discuss
campaign strategy. The speech is,
of course, free and open to the
public.

Film festival: Thursday
By FRANKIE FOSTER
Perhaps when you see the
words "student film", you think
of the assignment your high
school English teacher gave you
in your senior year; or maybe
you've never made a ftlm or seen
a good student film. And maybe
watching a movie gives you a
headache, and maybe you'd
much rather scan "Reader's
Digest" and watch TV . this

Thursday from 7:30 to ll p.m ..
But, if you did you'd miss more
than 20 films at Evergreen's very
first Student Film Festival. These
include a documentary film on
last year's Mayday
demonstrations in Washington
D.C. , a documentary on the
Satsop River Rock Festival, three
animated films each by a
different ftlm-maker plus an
incredible collection of comedy

and dramatic type films. All of
the feature films for the Jan. 27
extravaganza were created by
Evergreen film-makers.
It's hoped that the Festival,
set for Lecture Halll, will serve as
a organizing influence for
film-making in general. There will
be sign-up lists for an animated
film crew and future movie acting
roles.

forum

meets
Redistricting and women's
rights legislation will be the two
topics of this week's Legislative
Forum beginning with coffee at 9
a.m. tomorrow, January 25, in
the council chambers of the
Olympia City Hall.
Lois North, a second-term
King County legislator, will
provide an informative
background on redistricting
beginning at 9:30 a.m. She will
also give a legislator's view on the
importance of redistricting and
what will happen if the legislature
is unable to meet the
court-imposed deadline for
establishing the new boundaries.

Gisela Taber, executive
director of the Washington State
Women's Council, will use the
second half of the Forum to
discuss the unique legal
ramifications of being a woman
in the state of Washington. She
will also explain the bills now
before the legislature concerning
women's rights . These include a
community property law and an
equal rights amendment to the
state constitution. Both are
executive request bills.
Baby sitting at a nominal fee
will be provided for those
attending the Tuesday Forum at
the First United Methodist
Church Legislative Forum,

by The

should be in the office from 3 to
5 p.m. each week day.
Again, due to the lack of staff,
if no one is in, leave a note, or
call 753-2960 in the evening and
ask for Cam, Bruce or Joe.
Deadlines for "The Paper" are
set and articles should be
dropped in Room L3216 in
plenty of time for the week's
issue. Feature articles should be
in by Wednesday noon, and news
articles by noon Thursday
If you just have the
information and don't want to
write the article, please come in
or call, at least one day before
the dealine and talk to someone
in the office, hopefully between
3 and 5p.m.
Let us all hope that we can
keep communications open.

and shuttling the copy back and
forth to Shelton and Lacey to get
it printed.
There just is not enough time
in one week to do all of this, not
with the size of the staff that we
have. It is obvious to us now, that
people expect a weekly paper;
and unless there is a weekly paper
that news of Evergreen can not

tudent fees board
meets today at 4
An entire quarter has passed
and student organizations have
had to operate without money.
Many people hoped that the
student Services and Activities
fees board, which met last week,
would finally be ready to allocate
funds from the $37,000 made
available by the Board of
Trustees.
However, the fees board had
not yet prepared an effective
procedure for hearing and
deciding on funding proposals.
The two-and-a-half hour meeting
ended chaotically with no one
sure about receiving money.
Students were reminded at the
meeting that the $37,000 is not
student money, but is controlled
by the trustees, and any decision
made by the student board is
subject to fmal veto by Larry

PAGE 2 THE EVERGREEN STATE COLLEGE January 24,1972

Stenberg, dean of Developmental
Services.
The fees board heard
supportive statements on the first
ten proposals submitted, but
would not make any decisions
until they had refined the
allocation procedures.
Some groups that have asked
for significant portions of the S
and A funds are:

Indian Center ........ $2,900*
Organic farm .......... $1 ,500
FM Radio ............ $4,500
Faith Center .......... $7,500
Theater People ........ .$5)00
Yacht Club ........... $3,200
Entertainment ......... $4,100
MECHA ............. $6,000
Black Student Union .... $7,200
"The Paper" ........... $9,500

*All figures are rounded to the
nearest hundred.
If only these 10 groups are
granted~ their full requests, the.
student fees board would need
nearly $50,000. Obviously the
board has its work 6ut out to
trim the budget proposR_ls to fit
the $37,000 available.
An interim decision to grant
each group $500 to meet
immediate needs may be
instituted until final request
problems can be solved.
There also may be legal hassles
confronting the board with
constitutionality of using state
money to finance religious groups
or for such things as a bail bond
fund.
The student board will
continue its hearing today at 4
p.m. in 3121.

Tax reform rally

support for tax reform for a
"magnificent" representation of
stude 'n ts, faculty and
administration.
Tuesday morning plans
include a 40-piece band from SPC
and University of Washington to
complement the presentation by
students of petitions supporting
immediate tax reform by
constitutional admendment.
Their own rendition of "When
the Saints Go Marching In,"
scheduled as legislators file into
work, should set the rally's
tempo.
"Washington's legislators are
attempting to dodge this issue
because of the election year,"
Arlene notes.
The trek to Olympia makes
good political sense from any
direction she observes:
"Everyone is now mindful of the

-

A college-based effort to push
statewide tax reform will end its
preliminary "mushrooming out
of control" with a rally
tomorrow morning in front of
the Capitol Building. A.ccording
to Arlene Hinderle of Seattle
Pacific College, those planning to
attend look for a massive turnout
by members of the Evergreen
community, especially its 1)00
pioneer students.
Ms. Hinderle, an SPC senior,
has seen the student movement
grow from the
frustrated
attempts of too few fellow
collegiate planners. To her the
Jan. 24 in-person gathering, as
the Legislature convenes at 10
a m., will culminate the first
phase of telephone calls to

legislators as well as letters and
petitions seeking better tax break
for education.
Then, she reports, student
supporters of equitable taxation
plan to lobby, and then some, for
the remainder of the Special
Session and work up to a vote of
the people in November. They
have good reason, she recounts,
since 19 school levies failed last
year and the state's three
largest--Seattle, Spokane and
Tacoma-- are expected to go
down in 1973.
Although the TESC
community first heard of the
grassroots tax reform movement
just last week, Arlene hopes the
campus' proximity to the rally
site will couple with widespread

new youth vote, and our
participation in this work within
the lawmaking system shows
commendable responsibility on
our part--how can we lose?"
Petitions to be presented to
leaders of the Senate and House
of Representatives have lately
been "flooding" back to leaders
of the movement. In the past few
months, they have been
circulated throughout the state,
primarily through 800 music
instructors reached by the
Washington Public School Music
Educators Association.
Since musical programs are
first to suffer when levies fail, the
group has long sought the "fair
and equitable" tax reform
package mentioned in the
petitions.
Included in the form's
wording is a pledge "to support

the necessary constitutional
admendment in November, 1972"
for a decision on the matter by
the state's voters, including those
newly enfranchised teenagers and
twenty year-olds.Evergreen and
other local participants should
arrive in the rally area by 9:30
a.m. tomorrow, ideally with signs
and placards,
promoting
immediate tax reform. Seattle
and Tacoma- area students, as
well as representatives of Jaycees,
churches and businesses, plan to
arrive at that time in car pools.
Once
the
political"confrontation" is
completed, members of the
visiting task force may visit the
TESC campus to view the new
state educational addition and
discuss future systematic
procedure.

More chemical bombs

More defense
An important item in Nixon's
1972 budget is an increase in
defense spending "because of a
need to proceed with new
weapons systems" ... "for a
generation of peace." Amid the
controversy of extreme
wastefulness of the military on
weapons procurement, Nixon is
now asking Congress to increase

State-of-the-Nixon
President Nixon was plugged
in last Thursday to deliver the
state-of-the Union address. In his
ambiguous speech he emphasized
his "advances" in foreign policy
and blamed Congress for stalling
his "most important social
legislation in a decade."
However, Nixon ignored the
problems of minorities, women,
unemployment, poverty, the
environment, health and child
care, and the plight of the
American farms and cities, among
others. He received severe
chastisement in a Democratic
party reply on Friday.

There's a fascinating item in
the new defense budget, about
$130 million for chemical and
biological warfare research and
weapons procurement.
This is only a bit less than the
military had in 1969 before
President Nixon renou need the
use of biological weapons, even in
retaliation; it was his "initiative
toward peace."
The Army gets $50.8 million
of it for weapons procurement,
twice as much as last year More
than half of that will pay for
"smoke munitions," white
phosphorous antipersonnel
bombs which explode into
names.
Biological
research has
dropped 28 percent since Nixon's
pledge, to $13.2 million. Funds
for chemical warfare are raised to
$29 million in fiscal 1972, to
finance a search for new lethal
and inca pa ci tat in g chemical
agents, dispersion techniques and
defenses.

Ninety-eight percent of the
people who have this disease of
the red blood cells are black.
People with the disease suffer
elongation of the red blood cells,
which starves the blood of
oxygen and causes blood clots.
They rarely live beyond the age
of 30.
The U.S. government has given
very little money to research and
development of a cure, even
though I 0 percent of the blacks
in this country now suffer from
the disease and at least 30
percent carry the trait--a form of
U.S. genocide.
The Ramparts quotes several
doctors from medical journals
who "felt that oral contraceptives
acted as agents precipitating red
blood cell sickling, which in turn
produce blood clotting."

The big push in chemical
weapons development is behind
the XM 687 155mm binary
weapons system, in which two or
more toxic agents are combined
en route to the target, to become
a lethal compound. The military
can adapt this chemical bomb to
cur rent delivery systems, like
field howitzers, which makes it a
money saver.
The Army plans to replace
existing chemical stockpiles with
the binary weapons system, at a
cost of about $1 billion.
Increased research and
development of weapons,
particularly chemical weapons,
comes at tin1e when the use of
antipersonnel bombs and
chemical agents being unloaded
on Indochina has reached a level
as high as under the Johnson
administration.
Saturation and antipersonnel
bombings, including the new
seven-and-a-half-ton command
vault bomb, can effectively
destroy every living thing within
a mile radius, and maim and
injure anyone within three miles.
More than 1,500 tons of bombs
are dropped on Indochina daily.
The U.S. has replaced most of
its ground troop operations with
an elaborate ''electronic
battlefield" composed of vastly
superior air power, a network of
expensive sensors to detect
"enemy" movements, and a
sophisticated computer system.
Involvement in Indochina has
changed to a war by U.S
computer against the people of
Indochina.

Democracy, right? 300 yes, 15 no.
So the decision is, "No". Right?
That's fair right? Yeah, that's

Sex Center
Right now, a limited amount
of information is available on
campus concerning sex-related
topics, like medical problems
involving contraception.
It may be worthwhile to start
a sex center to provide both men
and women with information of
birth control methods, perhaps as
a counseling service for sexual
problems, to aid in liberation
struggles of women, gays and
straights to improve
communications in the
community of these struggles, or
any number of sex related
problems and interests.
Ideally this sex center would
work in conjunction with the
women's group on campus and
share resources. Also any funding
might come from S and A fees.

As long as talk of The Evergreen State
College has captured the imagination of
student and staff alike, so too have
discussions of its date of death. With regret,
many are now giving it an inevitable life
span of three or four years, before it
becomes "another state college."
It seems that, while the concept of
Evergreen is ready for the educational
world, those within higher education have
not prepared themselves for Evergreen's
heady cha ll enge. By the time attitudes are
realigned to accomodate the opportunity -and res[)onsibility -- of TESC, the dream
will have eased into an apathetic demise.
Three or four years of attempts by
faculty members to relate, to present
meaningful approaches to higher educat ion
will seemingly have been dissipated. The
opportunity
-- and
responsibility -presented to an initial 1,1 00 "pioneers"
and subsequent students will seemingly
have been wasted.
Why?
Discounting inevitability, a major factor
in the fal l of Evergreen's grand design may
well prove to be community members'
inability or unwillingness to convert from
concepts imposed by previous educational
environments, in essence to give the infant
dream a fighting chance. Prejudgement of

Coffee house?

LETTERS

To all concerned:
There should be a coffee house on
campus or off for the benefit of TESC
students, Olympia High School
Students and people of the Olympia
area. A place for music, poetry,
theater, files, calmness, relaxation,
good vibes, plus a cup of coffee, tea,
or hot cider would be really fine. This
must be possible someway with
people joining together on 3 project
beneficial for all.
I've been helping trying to get
something going. Through lists over
150 have signed that they want a
coffee house. People seem willing to
help operate, decorate, co-ordinate
music contracts, and get together a.
coffee house. Over fifty talented
people signed that they were willing
to play music, jam, read their original
poems, and do drama. Guitarist ,
piano players, singers, harmonica
players, trombonists, and a strip teaser
are all ready and waiting to perform.
What's missing
A place. The
library is no good. One contractor
controls all food services. The
concrete vault we call a library
doesn't really provide an atmosphere
for a coffee house anyway. I could
again ask the organic farmers who
occupy a TESC building on Lewis
Road or the Day Care people on
Driftwood Road--why not a coffee
house?
Somebody out there must have the
solution. Otherwise things will
continue without a coffee house. It's
that simple.

Like Peterson's Foodtown in Westside

"we think you're great" by picking up the
tab right now for a sorely needed

Speed Wash, who will see a good many
Evergreen laundry loads pass before
realizing a profit on their public service

Now that it has begun, "The Paper" staff
looks for that ini~ial acceptance, by
patronage of these pioneer advertisers or
mere mention that their involvement is
appreciated, by redirection from passive
consideration to active involvement, by
offers of assistance -- in whatever form -from those able and wi IIi ng to assist.

MECHA says NO!
Tn "The Paper":
No one asked MECHA if they
thought "The Paper" should be
continued or not, but MECHA
usually doesn't wait to be asked
before it expresses itself.
Should "The Paper" die just
because it says it Iike it is,
regardless of opposition to the
views it presents--views which
come from us, the students? Hell,
no!
"The Paper" was appropriatod
some "seed money" and then
told that its short life was coming
to an end.
Maybe "The Paper" isn't
everyone's favorite for
tran~itting and receiving news;
but, let's face it, it's the only one
we have at this time. If you as a
student can sit beck and watch

"The Paper" die, then you are
watching yourself die!
MECHA wasn't asked, so it is
asking you to support "The
Paper" by expressing your
opinion to President McCann,
administrators, faculty, students,
etc.; because, if you wait to be
asked, it may be too late!
MECHA
(Note from "The Paper": We
appreciate MECHA's statement
of support; after producing three
issues, we're relieved that we've
been noticed. Incidentally, we
haven't: received the "seed

CF & C weathers promising quarter
Evergreen's Causality,
Freedom and Chance
Co-ordinated Study program, as
luck would have it, has
experienced in its participants "a
lot more diversity than I had any
reason to hope for, and that's
good." Coming from CF&C's
co-ordinator Will Humphrys, the
recent assessment was realistically
promising of students and faculty
on a broad-base, "I was worried
that I might get a very
homogeneous group," he
recalled,"'where everyone would
be from the same background,
same high school, and same level
of education:' That hasn't been
the case and Humphrys is
thankfuL "I didn't think it would
be a fair test of the program to
have a group of people who were
much the same in their outlook
and orientation," he said.
One advantage the Causality
program has vver others,
Humphrys pointed out, is its .
ability to encompass a larger area.
Most students can find an area of
interest within the program on
which to base a career.
Differences in the Causality
program from when it was first
conceived reflected "mainly in
what we couldn't do because of
technical hangups: things not
being here, or the library not
being opened."· The Program
d•irection hasn't changed except
by a consensus of the faculty.
"We don't lay anything on the
students unless all five of us are
sure that's what we want to try
and push, Humphrys said.
Will had much to say on the
decision making process within
the coordinated studies groups.
He felt that the coordinated
studies program has to be faculty
run, because you are trying to

hold a group of people together
with different interests and
different objectives. "I think
we've fallen down in having
meetings where students could
say what they wanted to have
happen", he said. "We seldom
hear the complaints directly. I get
it by having the faculty coming
to me and saying 'hey, the
students in my group want', and I
say'alright Monday morning lets
talk about it.' Its a bad way to

his own education for the most
part. I can't hold you responsible
for whether someone else gets
anything out of Evergreen or
not."
A majority rule setup would
change a persons role as a student
in a very radical sense, he feels. In
that under majority rule a person
should be held accountable for
what he does to another person,
"but there is no way to hold you

accountable if you're a student."
Under the evaluation scheme
contracted here the
administration has a "handle"
and a certain kind of control over
what the faculty does, he said.
"We can be held responsible for
decisions that we make, and that
wouldn't be the case if students
made the decisions."
What happens if a student
really has a gripe about whats

proceed. The students don't see it
happen and don't realize their
complaints are being discussed."
He doesn't like the
situation either, whe~e decision
on what a program does are made
in a mass meeting of a hundred
people and the people with the
loudest voice can shout everyone
down. If the majority wanted to
do a certain thing then the
minority would be forced to go
along with it, and that isn't good
either he said. Will stated, "A
student comes here and he's on
his own and he's responsible for

hours, of $1.80 each.
At the close of each issue,
members of the co-operative who
have worked in the publication
areas of the paper turn in their
total number of hours per week
in each of the publication fields.
Each of these totals is then
computed with that field's
respective hour ratio value
( e x a m pIe : 5 h o u r s
copyreading/proofreading 5
hours; 5 hours typing :::; 2.5
hours).
Total ratio hours for each
member is then totaled, resulting
in the total hours to be paid for
that week. This number of hours
is always considerably larger than

60; therefore, a ratio is set up
between the total number of
hours to be paid and the 60 units.
This ratio is then multiplied with
the total number of hours for
each person, yielding the number
of units each member of the
co-operative worked.
The number of units for each
member is then multiplied by the
value of one unit ($1.80), which
gives the portion of the $108 to
which each member is entitled.
Don't worry about our poor
bookkeeper going crazy with all
this work--the computer has been
programed to take care of it all.

going on in the Causality
program, he was asked? "The
first thing they should do," he
said, "is raise it with the faculty
and say'S top It', If they don't get
any satisfaction there they can go
to the academic deans who are
independent of us so they don't
have any particular axe to grind.
If a delegation goes down to see ·
Dean Cadwalder and says 'Hey,
the Causality faculty are
unreasonable, we've talked to
them and haven't gotten any
satisfaction; what are you going
to do about it?', then he's on the
spot to do something. If he
doesn't, then you send a note to
the President and say that the
deans won't back up the students
demands."
Will felt that it would be a
very effective system if the
student would use it. He would
like to see the mechanism tried,
although "I don't want to be the
test case," he stated.
His plans regarding next year
are uncertain. He may work in
another coordinated studies
program under a different
coordinator, although he would
like to work in contracted
studies. He felt that with his
varied background in Math,
History of Science, History of
Philosophy and Music Theory he
could be much help.

PAGE 6 THE EVERGREEN STATE COLLEGE January 24,1972
----~--~--~~--------------------------------------~----~~------~--~--------~~

Lo,al WashPIRG forming
In the 1960's, persistent but
long ignored social problems
came to the public eye. Poverty,
racism, malnutrition,
environmental destruction and
consumer fraud surfaced. The
emergence of these problems
created unparallelled awareness
and concern among the general
public. A new determination to
right the wrongs developed. But
as the search for solutions
proceeded, we encountered new
obstacles: the public and private
institutions entrusted with power
and responsibility for solving
these newly recognized problems
seemed mired in unresponsiveness
and inefficiency. We learned that
nutritious foods and safe
effective drugs were
not
guaranteed by the existence of
the Food & Drug Administration.
We learned that the War on
Poverty was submerged in
bureaucratic inefficiencies and
the endless red tape of
government agencies.
In the late 60's and early 70's,
these realizations gave rise to a
new kind of organization: the
citizen public interest group. The
move to give voice and power to
the public interest is based upon
the belief that long-range

interests of the average citizen
will continue to be neglected by
decision-makers until private
economic decisiems which have
an impact on the public welfare
are , thoroughly studied and
discussed; government policy
takes into consideration the views
and needs of more groups in
society; and new methods are
developed to insure consideration
of the public interest in private
economic decisions and
government policy.
Students were far from
immune to the problems and
challenges of the 60's. They came
to colleges and universities
equipped with a high level of
social awareness, eager to learn
how to deal competently with
the forces of social injustice_
Their expectations were met with
disappointment. Students quickly
discovered that the educational
process did not encourage or
train them to grapple with real
problems affecting real people, or
provide direction for seeking
positive social change. As a result,
many students found themselves
leading a schizophrenic existence:
their responsibilities as students
seemed totally removed from
their responsibilities as concerned

citizens. The student movement
remained tied to the cycles of
academic life. Activities occurred
when exams and vacations did
not. Staying power, a crucial
factor in any attempt at social
problem-solving, was sadly
lacking.
The 60's produced an
abundance of student energy and
idealism without a viable
methodology. Because the
structures, tools and continuity
needed to identify and address
manageable problems were not
available, this energy flowed into
massive, crisis-oriented social
protests--the futility and
inhumanity of Vietnam, the
violence of racism, the
destruction of our life support
systems. Although
demonstrations and sit-ins did
focus attention on irresponsible
act i vi te s conducted in the
public's. name but at its expense,
that form of action did not
achieve the goal of eliminating
the problems.
The problems of the 70's will
be different from those of the
60's but no less pernicious.
Racism, no longer announced by
a "whites only" sign, lies buried
in such things as institutionalized

hiring and promotional practices.
To unearth, verify and deal with
these less tangible problems
required
a new kind of
inter.,riisciplinary cooperation,
expertise and commitment. The
methods of social change used in
the past will not answer the needs
of today or of the future. We
must evolve new techniques, new
tools, new strategies. We are just
beginning to find many o,f these
at Evergreen. Unfortunately,
most of them deal only with the
individuals themselves and do not
incorporate any large numbers of
people necessary for social
change. Student public interest
research groups are one possibly
way for us to form ourselves into
an effective group for social.
change.
The Washington Public
Interest Research Group will be a
cooperative statewide effort of
college and university students
from public and private
institutions to develop new
methods aad tools to deal with
problems of consumer fraud
(from aul·l repair practices to
food pricing and dating
practicn), environmental
protf'::tion (from resource
planning to inner city decay), and
corporate and governmental
responsibility as related to the
consumer and the environment.

efforts to effect positive social
change have suffered from
diffusion and lack of direction,

Research Group will provide a
focus for students to join in
concerted action on problems

Library open,
Members of the Evergreen
community who are hung-up on
books (and aren't we all?),
rejoice! The TESC Library is now
50 per cent open and openly
welcomes shelf browsers in need
of printed pages to fill their
befuddled minds.
Half of the shelves on the
third floor of the Library
building, where the Library is
conveniently located, opened late
last week to book browsers and
other known education freaks .
The place is still under a little
bit of that gray cloud called
inventory, so the remaining half
of the third floor is still "off
limits," for a short time at least.
Do not lose heart, however,
the library does have a system to
retrieve the books from the now
"off limits" shelves upstairs. The
only problem in this system is
this: you have to find the call
number of the book you want.
The means to the information is

the micro-film readers. If you
haven't used a film reader yet, go
the library and try using one.
They are a charm!!!
If you are gifted with speed
vision or steel eyeballs the
micro-film readers will present no
problem. But il you are like the
rest of us, it might take a little
perserverence to get your book.
Don't lose heart, though;
surely that book is worth it. Who
knows, you may find these rigors

library services loans equipment
Media Loan in Evergreen's
Library may well prove to be the
TESC community's undoing. But,
as one sage put it, "what a
beautiful way to go."
Card-carrying Evergreeners can
obtain a wealth of audio-visual,
and photographic
cinema
equipment, from super-8 and
16mm cameras and projectors to
battery-operated video tape
cameras and recorders. The
Library, acting for the college,
purchased equipment for all and
now maintains and loans this
variety of material as a resource
service.
Every member of the
Evergreen community has equal

access to the vast array of
projectors, recorders, editors,
cameras and accessorites, states
the Library's Position Paper No.
8. Conditions are that borrowed
equipment must be used only for
"learning situations" or
credit-related purposes. If
necessary, a competitive rental
program in the future may allow
college-related groups to "use
1 o a n e quip men t in
money generating activities," the
position paper continues.
Although extended. loan
periods can be arranged in
advance for field trips and
retreats, the usual guaranteed use
period is 24 hours from the time

that Media Loan director Yves
Duverglas and his assistantshave

"'Which brings avid readers of
this article to the potentially bad
news--responsibility for the
loaned equipment. Although an

Fun city?
By KEN BALSLEY
If you are a stranger to our
fair community, no doubt you
have experienced some
difficulties in finding appropriate
and pleasant place to reaJax
"downtown". This is intended to
help you in selecting the right
place, if you venture
"Downtown" for whatever turns
you on.
Bus rides are free, for the rest
of January, so your
transportation problems are over
(for one more week, anyway) as
soon as you get downtown or to
the West side. Bus schedules are
available from the drivers or at
the Evergreen Library
Information Center.
To make certain that you have
a minimum of future.
transportation problems, stop by
the Info Center, second floor
Library lobby, to sign the bus
petition for service from town to
the campus. The new Olympia
bus commissioner wants to
reconsider the possibility of a
route to Evergreen, and intends
to bring the matter before the
February commission meeting.
He needs our input. ·
EATING:
All of our Drive In's offer the
same fare, cheap and poor, with
few exceptions . You have
probably become familiar with
"Bob's Big Burgers", on Harrison.
The food is of poorer quality
than most, but he is making an
effort to obtain the students
business and even offers on
campus delivery for a small fee of
25 cents. If the food quality
improves, then by all means avail
yourself of the service and help
support one of the newer Drive
In's in the Olympia Area.
The "A & W" on Legion Way
has good Drive In food for the
price. Check it out.
There are two "Rib Eye"
restaurants in the Olympia Area.
One on the East Side at the end
of Fourth Ave, and one in
Tumwater. Their main advantage

is that they are open 24 hours.
The food is of moderate price
and moderate quality. There is a
50 cent booth charge, so if you
just want to drink coffee and
talk, forget it.
"The Divot" on Black Lake
Blvd, offers good food, good
service and a moderate price.
Their Cheeseburgers are 80 cents
but are of good size and will will
you up. One order of fries is big
enough for two. Try one. They
close at 10 p.m. on weekends.
Unless you are amply
endowed with an unlimited
supply of funds, avoid such
places as "The Governor House",
"Jaccaranda", "Tyee", "The
Evergreen Inn", "Golden
Carriage", and the "Falls
Terrace". If you are celebrating
and feel that you must splurge
then I recommend "The Golden
Carriage" for good food, and
"The Governor House" for
atmosphere, although at the
"Governor House", unless you
are appropriately dressed your
seat will be at the rear behind the
potted plants.

and because of this, they check
I.D. closely.
The "Melody Lane" in Lacey
has only one thing going for it,
"The Mud Bay Blues", probably
the best "Boogie" band in the
area. They start at 9 p.m. on
Friday and Saturday nights, and
the price of booze is jacked up
when they start playing. I.D. is
not checked as close but is still
checked. A few other taverns in
passing. "B.J .'s" has folk music
on Tuesday nights. "Al's" out in
Nisqually has cheap prices and
doesn't check I.D. as close as
others. The G.I's from Fort Lewis
like it. Stay away from "The
Brotherhood'' and the "Eastside
Club"; lumberjacks and
longshoremen. All of the taverns
offer beer, wine, and pool.
Jukebox selections are poor in
most cases. Unless you are a good
pool player, find out how much
you are playing for, it is usually
two bits. Beware of the old men
on the pool table, most of them
are hustlers.
Most of the "Cocktail
Lounges" offer live music. Two
of the best are at the
"Japcaranda" and "The
Evergreen Inn", but the price of
drinks are to high to warrant a
trip to them.

DRINKING AND
DANCING: It is hard to
separate the two, but I will try ,

Mason Williams has once again
deviated from his normal popular
and classical guitar routine in his
latest effort entitled,
Sharepickers, (Warner Bros., WS
1941). Sharepickers confirms this
writer's suspicions, which began
with Williams' previous album,
Handmade, that the author of the
Infamous "Classical Gas" is
gradually switching over to a
mixture of blues-grass and
popular guitar from the more
poetic· contemporary music
evident in his flowering on the
Smothers Brothers and his first
four albums.
Another apparent deviation is
that this album is more of
Williams' concert style than any
other albums outside of
Handmade, in that a good deal of
the material is performed by the
back-up crew. Bill Cunningham

performssome excellent
renditions of some traditional
fiddle tunes, and Rick Cunha,
both a guitarist and vocalist, adds
a few interesting original
folk-blues compositions.
Unfortunately and noticably
missing from this album is pianist
Bhen Zanzarone from New York
City, who in the past has
complemented the group
superbly with a kind of Elton
Johnish stytt:. Williams himself
adds only a few new cuts to the
album, typified by "Here I Am
Again", which has the definite
folksy blues-grass influence in
lyrics and melody most decidely
brought out by Cunningham's
good twanging on the dobra. All
in all, it's another good album: .
but for this writer, not enough
actual Williams material.

We all forget about bringing
our books back, but...
there are a few that are important enought to remember. The library is
missing volume 15 of the Encyclopedia Brittanica, volume 16 of
Collier's Encyclopedia, and Programmed Learning: a Bibliography by
Hendershott.
Taking these reference books out of the library is a little like borrowing
someone!; left front tire, (and no, we don't have a spare) so anyway we,
and especially the rest of the people who use the library, would
appreciate the return of these items.
We kind of like books too, so we understand, and no, you won't get a
black star next to your name, and we won't present you to a firing
squad; well, maybe a few lashes with a cat- o -nine... (bring them back,
please?)
