Dispute Brewing Over St. Helen's
By Carrie Gevirtz
A disagreement is brewing between
Weyerhaeuser. The Forest Service. The
Department of Natural Resources (DNR)
and The Soil Conservation Service (SCS)
about how to refurbish and preserve the
devastated Mount St. Helens land .
In June. 1980, Cowlitz County requested
assista nce from the SCS to restore the
Mount St. Helens' land - with emergency
funding. The SCS ended up cleaning up

there .
Early this month, as they prepared to
embark o n a speaking tour of the United
States, two Salvadorans, David Mendez
a nd Mauricio Emilio Henriquez, were
apprehe nded by the U.S. Immigration
Serv ice in Miami , Oklahoma. Although
they had already applied for Political Exile
status with the I.N.5. in San Francisco at
the time of their arrest, the pair were
ordered he ld without bail and deportation
proceedings began immediately.
On Friday. Oct. 16, a hearing was he ld ,
at which Mendez a nd He nriqu ez were not
present. Bail was set at $25,000 and
$10,000 respective ly. They were c harged
with be ing in the country illegaly.
Arrested with Mendez and Henriquez
was Carol Tsuji , a Japanese-American
woman, and the promoter of the tour, and
Manuel Campos Sevilla, a Chilean-born
interpreter. Ms. Tsuji is an American
citizen and Sevilla is a legal resident of
the United States . They were charged with
transporting illegal aliens and held on
bonds of 525,000 and $10,000 . Their
bonds were subsequently lowered to
52.500 and 57,500.
Al l four were finally freed on bail with
the he lp of contributions from supporte rs
around the United States, but the two
Salvadorans and Sevilla are st ill being
threatened with deportation .
U.5. Attorney Ben Baker had requested
that bail on the Salvadorans be revoked,
but Federal Judge Boyes, pres iding in the
case, refused the request. The original
terms of the re lease stated that the Salvadorans mu st remain in Oklahoma, but
attorneys argued that that would make
their a lready· scheduled tour impossible.
Finally they were a ll owed to begin their
tour, provided that they kept the government informed of the ir whereabouts.
Supporters of the arrested pair say that
deportation to EI Sa lvador, in light of the
anti-government nature of their talks',
would result in a death sentence. The
United States government as a matter of
policy does not grant political asylum to
refugees from EI Salvador, whose government is officially supported by the U.5.
Without political · exile status, their supporters say, Henriquez and Mendez would
be considered illegal aliens, and subject
to deportation.
According to Baker, Mendez and Henriquez are only c harged with mi sdemeanor
violations, for not having proper identifi.cation 011 their persons. Tsuji and Sevilla
are charged with transportation of illegal
aliens, which is a felony . Trial for Mendez
and Henriquez is set for November 12,
3nd the felony indictments against Tsuji
md Sevilla go to the grand jury on Nov. 3.
The first engagement of the tour was at
Washington University in St. Louis last
weekend.

Confronting
By Amy Loewenthal

Carrie Cevirtz
Tom Riley, spokesperson / lobbyist for
the Immoral Minority, explained in a lecture November 1 that our culture has
changed from a Leave-It-To-Beaver,-everything-is-perfect cu ltur e to an ArchieBunker, -new-perspective society.
Riley explained that " it's not the TV
show but it's the viewer. Social change
occ urs no matter what anyone tries to do.
Archie Bunker I I Ires on
but he's
changing."
The Immoral Minority is a reactionary
lobbyist group based in Olympia, Washington . They are dedicated to " promoting
continued separation of church and state;
to defending indiVidual liberties and freedoms ; and advocating the enjoyment of
life " Rilf'Y said that the " Immoral Minor-
ity is a focus for reaction. There is a continuous tug-of-war .on your rights because
they are legislated ."
The Immoral Minority is reacting to the
stronghold it believes the Moral Majority
has taken on society. Riley explained that
they are reacting to the new right and to
fundamentalism; the idea that God
created the wor ld in six days .
Riley spoke about the evangelical approach that he believes infests today's
media . There are Christian television stations and Christian shows on normal stations that all say "they don't want you to
think, they want you to believe." They
make you believe that there will be a
nuclear war and one in five will die. But
if you turn to the Lord,You will be saved."
The Immoral Minority opposes the
Moral Majority's belief that "America is
our last stronghold of faith . They object
to the idea that a strong defense is the'
best combat for war, and to the Moral
Majority's opposition to the Equal Rights
Amendment. The Moral Majority also
claims that pornography, abortion and
homosexuality should be ·banned. The
Immoral Minority opposes these stances
too.
Riley explained that the Moral Majority's perspective is "safe and it's bordering
on cultism."
But Riley went on, ''I'm not condemning religion ." He said he's advocating the
alternatives in life that the Moral Majority
refuse to confront. " We are a medi aoriented group and we ' get our biggest
effect through the media. Times have
changed - there's no way to regress . We
must go forward."
On a daily basis, the Immoral Min~rity
focuses on legislative decisions that will
" free the individual. " They are interested
in confronting the government. Riley explained that :'we hope to be a voice for
positive alternative styles in the future."
Riley closed his lecture by saying,
"We're proud to be a voice of change in
a wor ld that is afraid of it. "

WPPSS is overspent by $20 billion from
their initial estimate of $4.5 billion for
their five nuclear plants. WPPSS nuclear
projects were started in 1974, seven years
ago. This means they've had an average
cost overrun of about $2.9 billion a year.
This means an average cost overrun of
about $7.8 million a day. If we assume an
eight hour business day, this means an
average cost overrun of about $978,000
an hour.
·The anit-initiative groups, funded
largely by companies and individuals involved in contracting and bond sales for
the plant construction, spent about $1.2
million to attempt to defeat the initiative.
Last week's CPj erroneously reported
that possession of " magic" mushrooms
was legal ("Shrooming for fun and profit"
CPj 105) It is, in fact, a felony-but
possession of mushrooms is an unlikely
basis for arrest in Thurston County, according to Kim Hansen, law student and
intern at the Thurston County Prosecuting
Attorney's office.
Most arrests involving "magic" mushroom picking in this country have been
for second degree criminal trespass, he
said. The difficulty in felony prosecutions
involves apprehending the suspect as well
as provi ng that he or she actually
possesses a control led substance.
" They usually just drop their bag of
mushrooms," said Laurie Turner of the
County Pros ec utor' s office, describing
mushroom pickers apprehended in the
field by detectives .

What is homophobia? Basically, homophobia is the fear and hatred of homosexuals. I personally find people on the
Evergreen campus to be liberal or at least
liberal on the surface. There's been some
bantering back and forth of the term
"Politically Correct" which boils down to
peer pres.sure. People with prejudices
against people of color, people with
physical challenges, and working class
people tend to keep their mouths shut.
These prejudiced people perceive that it's
not acceptable to express certain views in
seminar or in casual conversation. Yet , it
seems that homophobia is marginally
"okay." It seems you can be a right-on
Greener and still hate queers.
Some people just want us dead . This
type of homophobe can often be found
wearing a long white hooded robe or a
swastika. I think this behavior is more
extreme than anything I've seen on
campus.
There are a number of people who are
angry or annoyed that the Cay Resource
Center exists at all. A man wrote a letter
to the Daily Olympian last year because
he was outraged that The Evergreen State

worse, was that we had to pretend that

Analysis
Polk Throws Spellman a Curve
By }. Bauman and S. Baxter
last week House Speaker Bill Polk released an analysis of Washington's economit problems that recommended neither
tax increases nor immediate budget cuts.
The report was done by the ' firm of
. supply-side economist Arthur Laffer. This
alone makes the report worthy of attention: Author Laffer was one of Reagan's
top economic advisors during the campaign. Laffer now meets with Reagan
monthly, as a member of Reagan's economit policy board.
.
The laffer report predicts that the state
tax revenues will grow 8.4 percent, after
inflation, over the next two years. The
Office ot Financial fvianagement (OFM)
predicted in September a real growth rate
of 6.3 percent. The OFM's 6.3 percent prediction was substantially lower than the .
revenue predictions used to formulate the
1981-83 budget. It was OFM's lower prediction that forced the governor to make
the 10.1 percent budget cut.
The Laffer report asserted that the OFM
revenue prediction was low because the
OFM did not consider c'ertain "supplyside" repercussions of the effect of inflation on Washington's tax system, The
Laffer report says that research has shown
a correlation between a state's relative
tax burden and its rate of economic
growth. If a state raises its tax rates faster
than the national average tax rate rises, its
economic growth rate will be slower than
the national growth rate. Conversely, a
state whose tax rate rises less than the
national average will experience greater
economic growth than the national
average, according to Laffers research.
Industry will be more inclined to locate
in a state with low taxation. The lower the
tax rate the greater incentive there is to
produce and economic growth will be
faster, Laffers ;eport states.
The report also says that since Washington's tax burden was declining during
the 70's, the state's economy grew faster
than the national economy in the 7(]s.
"The statistical results s'uggest that, had
the state tax burden been equal to that of
the nation's average, its growth rate would
have been equal that of the U,S.," the
report says.
The report's prediction for greater economic growth, and greater tax revenues, is
based on the following argument: Inflation will continue at a double-digit rate
during the next two years , In most states,
tax receipts rise faster than the inflation
rate, because people are pushed into
higher tax brackets. Washington is one of
the few states with no progressive income
tax.
In most states, tax rates, as well as
revenues, rise during inflationary times,
but in Washington the tax rates remain
constant Thus, Washington's taxes will
shrink relative to other states. This, by
laffers theory, automatically means better economic growth.
Despite what Laffer says, this is by no
means a proven fact Gerry Lassen, an
Evergreen economics professor and former
economist for Washington's OFM disagrees wi th Laffer s theory,
"Tax rates have very little to do with
the movement of industry," he said. He
mentioned power and land costs, access
to markets and location of natural resources as factors more important than
tax rates in this regard.
According to a Department of Revenue
review of the Laffer report, it ignores the
fact that between 1967 and 1973 Washington's relative tax burden fell while Washington's real personal income grew slower
than the national average. And then, from
1977 to 1979 Washington's relative tax
burden was rising and its personal income
growth was rising faster than the '
national average. The most conspicuous omission in
Laffer's report is the lack of cons ideration
of the effects of high interest rates in
Washington State. Because of the importance of the timber industry, interest
rates and especially mortgage rates affect

sleepy sounding, having been woken up
at three in the morning, yet he was really
glad to know that his efforts had paid off.
John Howat, General Coordinator, and
John Stocks, Southwest Washington
Regional Coordinator for the Initiative,
speculated on the probability of a coUrt
battle, to challenge the constitutionality
of the Initiative. (The Anti-394 people just
don't seem to believe the voters when
they say "No.") Howat said that the initiative will stand well in the courts, because it is well written, well researched
and well thought out.
He said that a network of people has
been established, because of the initiative, who are willing to continue working
for the cause. Stocks chimed in, about the
lawsuit, that, why would so much money
have been put into the Anti-394 campaign
if they were not worried about losing a
court battle, 'We have a strong campaign
and they cannot defeat us," said Stocks.
Everyone in the small house, volunteers
and coordinators all yelled and shrieked
their approval. This was one party that
was well worth the eight months preparation.
After spending a few days wading

revenue analyses and a pi Ie of governmental and private critiques of them, I

Now, for every tax rate that is set, the
government will collect a certain amount.
At 5% they'll collect so much, at 10%
they'll collect so much more, and so on.
The question is, how muc:hl The revenueproduced by each tax rate is what Mr.
Laffers graph will show us .
We can only know for certain two
points on the graph. First, a 0 percent rate
will yield no revenue. Obvious, right?
Good. 0% =$0.00 is point A.
At a 100% tax rate it will also yield no
revenue . Who is going to work if the government takes all their earnings? Some
people might work, just for the hell of it,
but I doubt if they will keep it up for
long. So 100%-$0.00 is point B.
David Stockman got an A for this

Our editorial staff came up with this
one.
Some of Ronnie's friends showed him
this one and it's been his favorite ever
since. He likes it almost as much as jelly
beam!

Milton Friedman has a strange idea of
taxes .
Actually, one of the national debates
going on at this very moment concerns
this vastly oversimplified little curve. Ever
since the discovery of that cocktail napki n that Arthur Laffer, so to speak, "blew
his nose on," certain political factions
have taken this curve 'as gospel. Ronald
Reagan has plenty of advisors who claim
that not only is the Laffer curve relevant
to present-day America, but that we're
now on the far right of the curve, in the
area where an increase in taxes decrease
revenue and a decrease in taxes ir.creases
revenue.
But someone's finally talking sense to
Ronnie. I've noticed that he's now predicting a fall and not a rise in government
revenues as a result of his tax cut. Remember when he used to say that he'd
cut taxes and the economy would respond
by growing so much that tax revenue
would actually rise? That was how he
planned to balance the budget I ,Boy, he's
changed. Was it before or after ~'Death
Valley Days" that he used to talk like that?
By the way, Arthur Laffer has been in
Seattle this week . This article is but the
first in a series in which the Cooper Point
Journal will trivialize the work of a great
living scientist who has recently passed
through the Pacific Northwest.

Still looking for the SEM building? Wondering what MEChA is? Or how to get
Financial Aid? Use Evergreen as a base for
plann ing your future? Learn .how to check
out a-slide projector? Get help with knowing what Evergreen offers you in the way
of curriculum? Would you like to know
more about the history and philosophy of .
the . college, how you fit in, and what
rights and 'responsibilities you have as a
student? Do you have personal or social
concerns about the atmosphere here that
you'd like to share?
If any of the above apply to you and if
you are new to the college, plan to attend
the "Special Series" of Orientation Presentations offered to students at lunchtime
and in the evenings for the next several
weeks. Students, staff and faculty join to
present information to you in a variety of
ways: group discussions, handouts, lectures, games. The first in the series is
titled . Educational Opportunity (including
history and phi losophy) and will meet
from noon to 1 p.m . in the LH Rotunda
and from 7 to 8:30 p.m. ir "The Corner"
of A Dorm on Tuesday, November 10. Information wi ll be the same at both
presentations - you need not come to
both . Look in the CPJ and other public
announcement sources around campus for
the next presentation titled Services and
Resources at Evergreen .

is sponsored by the Canadian Consulate
General and focuses on the human body

of the western world. While depiction;
of women predominate the collection, all

hours are from noon to 6 p.m. Monday

Magically mergins visual images and
panoramic scenes as big as a semi-truck,
accompanied by superb stereophon ic
music, will be presented in a "wilderness
concert" Tuesday, November 10, at 8 p.m.
in the Experimental Theater at The Evergreen State College:
Mountain Visions, the multi-image,
audio visual production of Gary O.
Grimm and Katy Flanagan, employs 11 to
16 projectors and a 36-foot screE'n for
their three-hour professional show, which
carries an admission price of $5.
The talented duo, who won the prestigious sil ver medal for Eclipse at the 1980
I nternational Multi-I mage Festival in
Colorado, have engaged in hundreds of
wi lderness expeditions in Alaska, Canada
and the western United States during the
past 15 years. Their combined artistic
photography and unique audio-visual
skills have resulted in the extravagant
multi-projector, multi-screen production
which, say reviE'wE'rs, "stun the senses
with orchestrated images and sounds."
Overlapping views of backpacking ,
climbing, .' rafting, canoeing and skiing
combine with excellent wild animal
photography on the spectacular panoramic screen to providE' a magica l montage of wilderne·ss activi ties and nature's
powE'r places.
ThE' shows, say their creators, afl' intended to, "make people feel good, to inspirE' them to wonder about the beautifu l
imagery and music that surrounds us, and
·to motivate thE'm to experiencE' the
natural environment as thoroughly and as
often as possible ".
