Puget Sound's "Armistice" group issued
a " Prin ciples of Unity" which lists the
group's three main objectives. They are to
"end the arms race and create a political
climate which impels the US . and
U.S.S.R. to cease development, construction, and deployment of nuclear weapons."
They also want to "redirect war industry
to useful production such as revitalizing
industry, rebuilding cities, restoring social
services and assisti ng needy populations
worldwide." Their third objective is to
"work for a world where human rights are
honored everywhere."
Armistice says that "Current U.s, foreign
policy undermines human rights wherever
it is politically or economically expedient" As examples, they cite EI Salvador,
Chile, South Africa, the Philippines and
others. They say that "1 n contrast, our
concern for the rights of Polish workers
who resist Soviet domination appears
hypocriticaL "
On Saturday, April 24, there will be a
community dialogue on the nucl ear arms
race at the Olympia Library. The meeting
starts at 9 a.m. and will run until noon. It
is hoped that the dialogue will encourage
all views and feelings on the arms race.
There are other discussions on the arms
race planned for the Olympia area on
Saturday. They will be held at the Good
Shepard Lutheran Church, SI. John's Episcopal , SI. Michael 's Catholic, First
United Methodist, Gloria Dei Lutheran ,
Sacred Heart Catholic, Unitarian Universalists, Innerplace (TESC) and the

Change To Dual College Examined
by Susan McSweeney
Professor Kirk Thompson thinks Ever
green needs an " image change." Two
months ago he submitted a plan which he
feels will not only attract a greater number of students but will also convince the
Legislature that Evergreen is worth hanging on to .
According to Thompson, there are four
major areas that indicate the need to restructure Evergreen:
1) COORDINATED STUDIES are what
we do best, but even this cannot be
"characterized by order and integrity."
Thompson thinks programs are weakened
by students transfering to and from them
at quarter breaks.
2) ADVANCED STUDIES are unpredictable and mostly carried out in indi-

THUMP THAT WAX!
I
Although the rain and hail was heavy at
times, 12-15,000 people from all walks of
life joined together in a rally last Saturday at the Seattle Center in a show of
protest against the madness of the arms
race
The event, sponsored by "Armistice ,"
which is a Puget Sound disarmament
organization , was attended by various
religious and community groups. After the
rally the group marched downtown to
Westlake Mall where petitions were circulated ca lling for a nuclear weapons freeze.
The Seatt le Times called the rally and
march " one of the greatest anti-war events
the city has known "
Seattle was not alone in hosting an antiwar rally thi s week. Ground Zero, a national organization with its headquarters
in Washington, D.C., proclaimed this past
week "Ground Zero Week. " From Boston
to Los Angeles thou sa nds protested
agai nst the nuclear arms race and called
for an immediate world wide arms freeze .
In Cincinnati , Austin . Atlanta, Indianapo lis, and other cities, simulated nuclear
bombs were detonated at rallies to show
Ihe "danger to humanity in the event' of a
nuclear war ." On the East Coast, Boston
Marathon runners were greeted along the
race route Monday with signs warning of
the dangers of a nuclear war.

vidual learning contracts, Thompson said.
He believes Evergreen students tend to
end up knowing something about a whole
lot of things, but not a whole lot about
anyone thing.
3) PART-TIME STUDIES at Evergreen are
meeting the needs of people who want to
complete their college degree while working, Thompson asserted . There is no cur·
riculum structure for part-time studies, he
said.
4) PROBLEMS OF QUALITY are directly
linked to enrollment problems, Thompson
insisted, He warned that a college can be
"proudly different and quite mediocre at
the same time ." Because Evergreen is an
alternative institution, it is judged more
harshly than the other state schools.
Thompson blamed low enrollment on
" low standards correctly perceived .
While it is ' painful for liberal minds to
create rules that bind, a cafeteria system
which lets . people pick ingredients that
have not been cooked into whole dishes
is an educational tragedy."
Thompson proposes to solve these
problems by breaking Evergreen into two
und e rgraduate co lleges and adding a
graduate school.
" McCann College" would be a liberal
arts college for full time students. Programs, internships, independent studies
and graduation would all have stru ctu red
prerequ isites.
"Eva ns Coll ege" would be for part-time
students' and "for narrower areas of work
spec ialization . It might employ more conventional modes of instru ct ion, " Thomp-son elaborated.
The Graduate School would have " curricula in management and administration,
education, environmental sc ience, and
the socia l service professions ," said
Thompson .
Dean Richard Alexander agrees with
Thompson's analysis of the existing problems and that there needs to be certain
graduation requirements (including some
sort of sen ior thesis). But he disa-grees
strongly with Thompson's proposed so lution . He feels that by breaking i"to two
separate colleges problems "wou ld be
preserved rather than solved ."
According to Alexander , Dean Cadwallader never proposed that Evergreen
be broken into two separate colleges
thotJgh he was misunderstood by m any as
saying that . Most stude nts and faculty
didn't want two colleges th en and , for the
most part, they don't want it now. Alexander is quite confident that Thompson's
plan will " never get off the ground."
Academi c Advisor Russell Fox, who is
the co-chair person of the Long Range
Curriculum DTF , echoed Alexander'S prediction, saying the DTF was seriously
discussing the problems which Thompson
brought up in hope of coming up with
some solution, but probably not the " Two
college" solution which Thompson proposes.
Yesterday and today faculty have been
meeting in Tacoma to plan the curricu lum
for the 1983-84 school year . Thompson 's
proposal is just one of many that are being discu ssed. It seems a lot of people are
concerned about Evergreen's future, especially in these dubious times when the
State is questioning the need for an alternative ed u cation college.
Thompson himself declined to make
any prediction on whether or not his plan
would be put in motion . Thompson said
he su bmitted the proposal not bec ause he
thought it cou ld be accepted but because
it should be accepted .
" It's the DTF's job to dec ide how feasable the plan is at t hi s time, not min e."
Thompson was likewise reluctant to say
how much support he thought his plan
had from the students . Because his plan
is partly directed at increasing enrollment ,
Thompson thought that the opinions of
prospective students - people not yet enrolled at Evergreen -were at least as important, if not more, than those of stu·
dents already here.

Young Intelligence
Editor
The way of young intelligence is
through doubt on the one hand and innocent attentiveness on the other. Pursue,
questioningly, those lines of possible information which attract you, empty of
prejudice and judgment lest you do not
hear .
Hearing leads to " faith," or that inner
line of communication (Communion)
which will set you on course. Each cou rse
is unique, yet each has the same beginning and end, which you might call freedom .
Free yourself then . Let go of the noise
of words and hear Word, of mind and
know Mind.
Casual indifference, inattentiveness, deliberate posture or OpiniOn, fear, all noise.
Locate the present, let go the past, create
the future. Revere each moment, the
movement of your world, yet hold no
expectation regarding its permanence. Relate through selfless tolerance and forgiveness which is loving. See in yourself the
Sou rce and the goal.

There is now a group called N.O.C.A.R.D.
(New Olympia Coalition Against Registration and Draft) who are men and women,
quite like yourself, concerned with the
present status of laws and rights (if we
have any left) pertaining to those people
opposed to war and the draft. I repeat:
you don't have to be a male of registering
age to come to these meetings and share
information and support.
N.O.C.A.R.D. meetings are held alternate Thursdays, starting April 22, in library Lounge 1600 at 7:30 P.M. Some of
the things we are working on and would
like you to become a part of are: outreach
and support to local high schools; letter
writing to congress people, senators, and
the big man himself, President Reagan;
and sharing our ideas and beliefs in the
form of poetry, prose, songs and verbal

SAGA personnel could certainly help
the students with planning and management, but putting the Corner entirely
under SAGA's direction would change its
emphasis from community service to
profit-making, It would also eliminate one
place on campus where students have
taken control of their environment and
are learning by doing, which after all is
the cornerstone of the Evergreen philosophy. If SAGA wants to open a pizza parlor
it should be located in the CAB, close to
their other kitchens, where Ken Jacob can

I n a scene reminiscent of Sixties
(Alinsky) radicalism, between 400 and
600 people gathered at a Seattle-area
Calholic Church where they received
proxies; passports of entry to Seattle First
National Bank's annual shareho ld ers
meeting,
Union members, ratepayers groups and
human rights activists joined together last
Friday to protest SeaFirst's labor and
investment policies ,
The protesters received proxies which
has been co llected by the United Food
and Commercial Workers Union (UFCW) ,
UFCW and other supportive unions were
protesting SeaFirst's four-year refusal to
recognize the Financial I nstitution Employees of America, local 1182 of the
UFCW, as the official bargaining unit of
the bank's employees.
Irate Ratepay ers organizations, the
Don't Bankrupt Washington Comm ittee,
the Light Brigade and other electric ratepayer groups mobilized much of the
person power behind the event.
Young and old alike, converged upon
the church from as far away as Greys
Harbor. Nearly 100 people came from that
area. About 20 Evergreen students participated , They were there to protest, among
other things, SeaFirst's participation in a
suit against Washington voter Initiative
394 (1-394),
That initiative, approved by the state
electorate last November, gives Washington voters a say over how much the
Washington ' Public Power Supply System
(WPPSS) can borrow to finance its nuclear
projects,
Human rights activists joined the unions
and irate ratepayers in their dissatisfaction
with SeaFirst management policy. Their
conce rn stemmed from Sea-First management's lack of minority representation and
SeaFirst investment policies in South
Africa and Chile,
The church rally was well coordinated
and a detailed agenda of the speakers
who would represent the full spectrum of
their concerns. were distributed to the
crowd , In addition to speakers, forum
organizers had prepared two proposals for
the meeting,
The first of these proposals requested
that SeaFirst management recognize the
FlEA as their employees'bargaining agent
The second proposal was a nomination of
Georgia senator, consumer and civil rights
activist Julian Bond to the SeaFirst Board
of Directors.
" Boycott SeaFirst" balloons, pins and
stickers were given to the crowd while
Roger Yockey of the UFCW told them:
"The handwriting is on the wall , If you
think this is a mere echo, wait 'til next
year Mr. SeaFirst !"
The crowd roared. Other speakers, including candidate Bond, were introduced
and the protesters streamed out to waiting
buses amid the sound of traditional and
not-so-traditional union songs.
Of 19 board members, on ly chai rman
William Jenkins was present at the meeting. He had advised board members and
shareholders to miss the meeting because
" in rec ent years .
(dissident) groups
have managed to undermine its purpose
and proceedings, " Other high-ranking
bank officials were on hand to help
Jenkins through the meeting.
Doloras Sherman, a shareholder since
1967, presented the un ion proposal. She
stated that SeaFirst employees had been
" ... deprived of a collective bargaining
agreement for over four years,"
Sea First employees have been represented by the FlEA. since '1970, In 1977,
union-management negotiations bogged
down and the management unilaterally
instituted its own wage package. FlEA
claimed that its role ' as bargaining agent
had been undermined and responded by
seeking affi liation with the Retail Clerks
International Union.
An election was held in' accordance
with National Labor Relations Board
(NLRB) J?rocedures by which only union
members were allowed to vote. At that
time, union members made up just over
half of the total number of employees,
though as a bargaining agent, the union
represented all employees,
SeaFirst refused to recognize the 1977
elect ion , arguing that all emp loyees
should have been given the opportunity
to vote,
SeaFirst Senior Vice President Earl
Shu lman responded to the proposal before
the Board by saying" . . we don't support
the proposal because the vast majority
(of employees) did not support it. "
Booing and hissing erupted from the
crowd and UFCW member Steve Gouras
responded: "You are seeing an outcry in
this country! This cou ntry is getting tired
of financial institutions destroying what
we have built." He predicted that if SeaFirst continues its fight against the union,
" . we will nationalize these banks in the
very near future"
It came time for the election of the
Board of Directors and Dolores Sherman
introduced the opposition candidate,
Julian Bond.
Bond' s candidacy represented the
aspirations of all the various protesting
groups. He was backed by eight percent
of SeaFirst's shares (shareholder elections
are based upon a one vote per share
basis) .
Cast in his favor were 1,572 proxies,
representing 1.23 million shares , The
largest single package of votes, 560,CXXl
shares, was cast on behalf of a California
retirement pension fund by Mel Rubin ,
Rubin said that it was the first time the
pension fund had ever voted against management. He said that the trustees of the
fund had decided to use their shares to
counter corporate "perks" Rubin pointed
out that the fund owned more SeaFirst
shares than the whole Board of Directors
combined.
Bond said that he was amazed at the
amount of support he had received and
he went on to express the concerns of his
supporters:
"To which corporate policies do these
shareholders protest?" he asked, I n reference to union concerns, Bond called on
SeaFirst to " ... abandon its bankrupt
policy of Neanderthal and illegal labor
practices. "
He went on to say that shareholders
believe SeaFirst should abandon its lack
of minority representation on the Board
of Directors, ienkins has been quoted as
saying, last year, that the Board had
sought a minority candidate but cou ld
find no one who was qualified , Bond, a
Black, asserted in reference to that statement: "Mr, Chairman, 'here I am! " and the
crowd applauded,
Another Black, the president of United
Friends, Frank Howard , would add later
that he saw no reason te-go 3000 miles
out of state in search of a qualified Black
when there are" . , , Blacks in this community who should be on the Board," He
Colonel Cooper to the Point
Drawing on his vast experience at holding the short end of the stick, Colonel
Cooper steps into the forefront of the
fi ght for soc ial, economic and academic
justi ce, If you ca n think of some other
type of justi ce, he's willing to step in it,
too,
Amidst the constant swirl of oppression ,
injustice and just plain orneriness, Colonel
Cooper has realized that someone must,
without comprom ise or concern for personal conseque nces, face the harsh spotlight of publi c animos ity and champion
the ca use of t he put upon, Co lonel Cooper
is willing,
All he asks is that hi s real name never
be revealed.
Each week Colonel Cooper will select,
from the thousands of heartrending letters
enli sting his aid, as many as his sens itive
soul can handle,
So if you paid for the elevator and only
got the shaft; if your landlord claims it
cost $300 to spackle the holes from your
geoduck' poster; if that free portrait ends
up cost ing ,$40;
CONTACT COLONEL COOPER
CPJ, CAB 305
The Evergreen State College
Olympia, WA 98505
Colonel Cooper must have your name,
address and telephone number. He also
needs all the juicy details and photocopies
of any pertinent documents, Please give
the Colonel dates, times and the names of
the people you talked to. The Colonel will
use every means at his disposal to fight
for Truth, Justice and Column Inches.
said that he had talked with leaders of the
local Black community and he nominated
former President of Seattle's school board,
Dorothy Hollingsworth, to the Board,
In relation to SeaFirst investment
policies, Bond said that the bank should
quit its "immoral" policy of investing in
countries like South Africa and Chile without regard for human rights . He said it
was analgous to buying "Hitler Bonds"
40 years ago,
He called on the bank to eliminate
those investments and to invest more in
the local community
Bond ended his speech with a reference .
to a letter that his supporters sent to each
board member. He said that each member
was asked if they would be willing to
serve with him on the board, " There were
no replies," he stated,
When asked later if he would vote for
the candidate (Bond), Jenkins answered
no . He sa id he was perfectly satisfi~ with
the ca liber of the encumbent board
membership,
Bond's nomination was accepted and a
question and answer period followed,
Jenkins fielded statements from labor
supporters, human rights activists and
ratepayer representatives as the groups
put their combined agenda into action,
Roger Yockey of the UFCW moderated
~he protesters' forum, He introduced the
mdividual speakers who lined up behind
microphones , Each was accorded five
minutes for a statement.
It was clear from the crowd's reaction
that the protesters were not satisfied with
Jenkin;s responses; when he offered them ,
'v1any statements received bare acknowledgement from Jenkins as he absorbed
' he flack in five-minute bursts.
Jenkins asserted that race was not one
">f the qualifications for membership to
he board and that it never would be, He
,llso said that he did not believe that
hose present represented the local Black
community's views.
With regard to South African in vestments, SeaFirst maintained that it would
only lend to countries like South Afri ca if
it was beneficial to Pacific Northwest trade, and if the loan s would
not support Apartheid,
Executive Director of EI Centro De La
Raza, Roberto Maestis had ca lled upon
the Board earli er to reexamine its interlational lending policies : "We counsel
political refugees .. . brutalized by your
policies in Chile and South Africa " he
said.
'
He appealed to SeaFirst to grant his
organization a profile of minority employee statistics, a request he said had
been submitted for the last three years
Jenkins became Quite irate when sponsors of 1-394, the Don't Bankrupt Washington Committee, protested SeaFirst's
su it against the initi ative,
SeaFirst seeks to have 1-394 found unconstitutional because it claims the initiative adversely affects agreements Sea-First
has undertaken as bond trustee s for
WPPSS.
Jenkins said that SeaFirst was only seekmg to protect its bondholders' interests,
which might be jeopardized by the initia'i ve. He was then asked where SeaFirst
',vas when the cost overruns started rolling
t1 and why the bank did not protect
)ondholders ' interests then,
To this, Jenkins repli ed that Sea-First
was not responsible for WPPSS mismanagement: " Your electric rates are goind to
go up like gangbustersl" he cri ed , " But
don't blame SeaFirst for that! "
At the close of the meeting Jenkins
announced that th e union proposal had
been rejected and that all encumbent
board directors had been reelected (Bond
had not been elected) .
The meeting was adjourned and the
protesters dispersed, On hiS way out oi
the hall, Bond summed up hopes for the
luture: " It is an eroding process that wi ll
eventually prevail "

Trustees Get Complaints About Business Reorg
Thousands Attend Seattle Armistice Rally
By /. W. Nielsen
by Bob Davis
A disagreement with the Business AHairs
Reorganization proposal was heard at the
Board of Trustees meeting last Thursday
Associate Facilities Engineer Darrel Six
spoke in opposition to the proposal, contend ing it was drawn up with disregard for
the intent' of the Evergreen Administrative
Code (EAC) and Convenant on Governan ce (COG) .
" I'm challenging the selection process
l in the reorganization)," said Six " I don' t
think it's appropriate at Evergreen to have
a personnel se lection process and then
not use it."
The three selections in question would
fill the executive assi stant position (with
M ike Bigelow), the controller position
(with Karen Wynkoop), and the director
of facilities position (w ith Ken Winkley )
if the proposal is adopted.
The controversy hinges on interpretation
of an EAC "recru itment and selection"
passage that states: "Appointing authorities fill positions by promotion, recruitment within the college, or open search."
These transfers should follow guidelines
for either promotion or inside recruitment," argues Six. " The intent of the document is clear, even if the letter is not." A
recruitment requires approval of a selection process, which mly include open interviews with staff and student input.
Vice President · for Business Richard
Schwartz feels he is following the EAC
requirements with the reorganization proposal. "We follow what Rita (Cooper) tells
us we need to, to follow the rul es," said
Sc hwartz. " She is the personnel officer,
and we look to her for guidance."
Director of Employee Relations Rita
Cooper considers the job transfers to be
neither promotions or recruitments .
Cooper said, "I think the EAC could be
viewed as having a hole in it." Regarding
interpretation of the EAC, Cooper tries to
follow the letter and does not feel at

re o Throughout the day,
representatives from a variety of local
envi ronmental groups will staff food and
education booths,
Saturday's events will conclude at 5:30
p .rn. with a Southeast Asian dance show
and poetry readings by Evergreen faculty
poets Gail Tremblay and Craig Thompson .
The fair will occupy Red Square or, if
the weather is bad, the Library Lobby. A
detailed schedule of Evergreen's Earth Day
activ ities is available through the Environmental Resource Center, 866-6784, and the
Information Center, 866-6300, weekdays
during regular business hours.
" I' m doing Sunday-Funday because so
many Evergreen events cost money," she
sa id .
" It's so hard to get people together to
share energy when you charge money. It
discriminates aga inst people who don't
have bu cks but have the energy, and have
to sneak in or otherwise get by. Because
this ('vent is free, we can get several
hundred people together to celebrate,"
she added
Sunday-Funday marks the end of EarthFair '82, but is essenti all y a separate event.
ThE' Environmental Resource Center, sponsors o f EarthFair, helped put up the money
to rent the sc hool's sound system for the
concert. However, t he ERC needs the
Illoney to cover EarthFair cos ts so Trippsmith is currently sell ing raffle ti ckets to
pay them back. Tickets are one dollar,
and the pri ze is a full body massage.
Trippsmith also paid for the food out of
her own pocket, and is counting on
people to come intending to buy food .
The meal w ill be served buffet style, and
wi ll fea ture bagels, yogurt, granola, fresh
frUits and vegetabl es , and other wholesome goodies . Qu ite a deal for the two
dollar donation .
For Trippsmith, the renewa l of community ties i s a key theme of the event.
"Because thi s has been a hard year for
many of us, one of the things I wish to
emphasize is a renewal of fami ly ties between each other and between ourselves
and mother earth," she said.
J." .....,
here for the intent (when it was written),
so I read it by the letter."
Karen Wynkoop' s proposed appointment to controller is now cons idered a
promotion, and a selection process to fill
the position may now be proposed.
Six is also concerned that the COG has
not been properly followed . The COG's
"Standards for Decision Making" specify
that decisions "must provide an opportunity for participation by members of the
Evergreen Community," and that decisions
be made "only after consultation with
those who are affected by the issue,"
While Schwartz did meet with Ken
Winkley ("There's no sense in proposing
this if Ken doesn't agree with it" ), Six contends that the staffs of Facilities, Purchasing, and Budgeting are also affected and
shou ld be consulted.
" He should have taken the time to do
that (consult staff)," said Six. "What if
Dick came to the staff and asked for input
on a tentative proposal? When asked to
share the decision, we all 'own' the decision and feel more committed to it."
. Schwartz feels he is following the rules.
He sent a memo announcing his plans to
the campus commun ity on March 16, and
. provided additional information in a
memo on April 5.
" We've sent out information, but there's
a void (of response)," said Schwartz.
"We've received perhaps a dozen letters
of support, in addition to a number of
verbal approvals. "
. When asked if he would consider
recommending a DTF to assemble an inhouse selection process, Schwartz replied:
"No, I don't think this is a DTF matter.
It's an administrative matter. The problem
with a DTF ," he continued, " is that you
can't discuss details such as salaries with
everybody, and to discuss su ch matters as
personalities may be divisive to the
campus commun ity."
The Board of Trustees will address the
Business Affairs Reorgani zation proposal
again at its May meeting.

The message Saturday, at the Seattle
Center, voiced by thousands of concerned
citizens was loud and clear, "Stop The
Arms Race Now." They came from all
sections of society, rich and poor; black
and white; old and young; to ce lebrate
Armistice Day,
The event,' sponsored by "Armistice," a
Puget Sound disarmament organization,
did not resemble the anti-war protests of
the Sixties, as this protest was wellorganized and according to Seattle police
"well behaved ."
Armistice spokesperson, Daniel Bradac
said the group had spent $12,000 and four
months to put the rally together. Present
were various cqalitions from the Puget
Sound area as well as an obvious contingencyof middle-class families who voiced
concerl'\ for their children's future.
I got there early and watched first hundreds and then thousands of people
funnel onto the Flag Plaza at the Seattle
Center. It was a very diverse group that
consisted of "Gray Panthers," "Mothers
Against the Draft (MAD.)," union members and others . At one point a nine-yearold standing next to me started yelling,
"Cut Haig!"
Bumbershoots mixed with colorful signs
as a steady rain fell. The signs were quite
imaginative and proclaimed such things
as " Jobs v$ Bombs;" "Put the MX in
Washington, D,C." and "Bedti me for
Bonzo,"
jacara, a reggae band, started the afternoon event with a jimmy Cliff song The
Harder They Come. From that point on,
though the mood w~s high, the
content of the speeches and songs Wi\S
sobering. Some of the ideas presented
were that people are scared living under
the threat of nuclear war, that the war
industry should be redirected to social
serv ices world-wide and that people
should work towards a world where
human rights are respected.
One of the first speakers, Dorie Warbington, a member of the Metropolitan
Adult Education Team and founder of the
board, at the Lifetime Learning Center (A
senior adult education group) opened her
address with a call for " Peace not war."
"We are ordinary people, grassroots
they ca ll us, We come from all walks of
life. I don't know about yOU . . . but I can
feel the energy here," she said.
Warbington said that she was present
because she is "ordin ary," and she " wants
to survive." She asked the crowd why
they were here.
" Is it because of the chi ldren . .. the
grandchildren ... the great Northwest.
to work and play . how about because
we are scared?"
The crowd answered' her each time
loudly with "YES" Near the end of her
speech, Warbington said: " I felt safer
back in Iowa, when those things next to
the barn were grain silos."
The San Francisco Mime Troupe, a
twenty-year-old poiitical theater group,
performed an excerpt from "Factwino
meets the Moral Majority. " A two-headed
beast in a black cloak, named Agamemnon, took the stage. One of hi s heads
was business, the other was the military,
The two heads argued over which one
would control the world.
The associate director of the Washington State Catholic Conference, Margaret
Casy, told the protestors that "the only
thing that brings me security and national
defense, is this type of revolution . . . A
strong America is not unemployed."
As a cloudburst of hail dumped from
the heavens she asked the crowd if they
were " determined ." A very loud "YES"
I
echoed off the buildings su rrounding the
plaza. She asked the crowd "to vote for
ca ndidates that wi II support your viewpoints in Olympia and Washington, D .C."
Roberto M aestas, executive director of
EI Centro De La Raza, spoke of the United
States involvement in the affairs of "a ll
peoples of the world. " He drew a compari son between the oppressed people of
EI Salvador and the peopl e of the U .S.
who are protesting. He cla imed that: " The
real illegal aliens of the world are those
buying and selling freedom ... the president
the pentagon . We do not want
anymore bombs, we want peace!" Urging
the crowd to " get serious," he said : " We
will find a way to put AI Haig, Ronnie
Reagan , and Henry Kissinger where they
bel ong."
After more speakers and musi c the
"Chain of Fools" arrived in front of the
stage. They were huge papier-ma c he

Soon after the "Chain of Fools" act, the

Foreign Policy, the CIA, and Corporate Interests
By Tom Schaaf
The foreign policy of the United States
is one of the major issues of debate today,
both at home and abroad. Growing in·
volvement in EI Salvador has sparked fears
o f Central American Vietnams. The
Reagan administration 's aggressive stance
towards the Soviet Union, and skyrocketi ng defense budgets have fueled a grassroots international anti-nuclear weapons
movement. The labeling of any reformoriented government as "communist" and
" subversive" has led to a questioning of
American foreign policy aims and methods that is uflusual in American politics.
Not since the Vietnam war has foreign
poli cy been subject to so much review,
criti cism, and acrimonious debate.
The rhetoric of American foreign policy
centers around the themes of " national
sec urity" and stemming "co mmunis!"

World War Two, with a brief hiatus during

to extoll the virtues of "human rights" and
a foreign pol icy based on that criteria.
mentation of foreign policy in a number
of indirect ways.
According to Professor G . William
Domhoff, a major tool for this are informational policy discussion groups established and funded by corporations. These
groups bring together corporate leaders,
government personnel, and academic
experts to review, debate, and suggest
policy
The Counci l on Foreign Relations (CFR)
is one of the most important of these
groups. Founded in 1920, the CFR has
relied heavily on Ford, Rockefeller, and
Carnegie Foundation funding for its
special projects. CFR study groups were
at the heart of the postwar planning that
led to the formation of the International
Monetary Fund, World Bank, and the
United Nations . Both the World Bank and
International Monetary Fund have been
dominated by U.S. financial institutions
helped establish the consensus to "defend" Vietnam at any cost.
Another important policy group is the
Committee for Economic Development
(CED), founded in the early 1940's to plan
for the postwar world. Origil1ally consisting of 200 corporate leaders, membership
was later expanded to incl ude a handful
of leading economists and university presidents. CEO members played a crucial role
in developing the Marshall Plan for reconstructing Europe after the war.
and used to "punish" and "reward"
various governments according to their
As well as influencing policy through
their regular functioning, these groups
also supply individuals to serve in government posts and on special Presidential
Commissions.
Over a third of the CFR's 1500 members
have served in official capacities during
the past 20 years. Twelve of the fourteen
members of President Johnson's secret
Advisory Group on Vietnam were CFR
members, and the majority of President
Carter's appointments to the State Department were council members.

A common criticism of American
foreign policy is that it operates in the
servi ce of " imperialism." As this charge
1requent l y emanates from the Soviet
Union, its proxy states, and left-wing
dictatorships such as Libya, thl' credibility
of the criticism is just as compromised as
the anti-communist " protecting t~e fret'

its repressive right-wing proxy states. Thi s
is highly unfortunate, as the charges 01
imperialism have also been levelled b~
qualitied individuals and has been somewhat substantiated by the historic record .
The long history of U .S. intervention,
armed and otherwise, in Latin America is
only the most obvious example, The revelations of CIA efforts to destabilize and

were members of the Nixon administration, and CEO trustees served as Secretaries of Treasury and Navy under Carter.
Presidential Commissions are temporary
groups of private citizens appointed to
research, deliberate, and report to the
president on specific issues. Out of 15
commissions concerning aspects of foreign
and military policy between 1945 and
1972, 12 were headed by CFR members
and two were headed by CEO trustees.
It is through these subtle, indirect
methods and institutions that corporate
interests shape the form and aims of U.S.
foreign policy. Through the State Department, foreign aid and development programs, and covert activities by the CIA,
the U.S. government implements these
policies that serve the multinationals.
"Nat ion al security" means corporate
security.
Foreign policy is the governmental
function that is least subject to popular
democratic control in this nation. In a
complex, rapidly changing, and frequently
hostile world, this situation must change.

The CIA played a major role in overthrowing the Mossadegh government in
Iran when he attempted to nationalize thl'

Am eri ca n oi I companies. When Rezil
Pahlavi was crowned Shah following thl'
CIA-organized coup, the American oil
IIlterests were assured of a cooperative
Iranian government. The U.S. government
remained firmly behind the Shah right to
the bitter end, regardless of the Carter
administration 's emphasis on human

The Bay 01 Pigs invasion aimed at destroying Fidel Castro's government is an
example of a CIA adventure that failed,
largely because President Kennedy refused
to provide U.S. air support for the invas ion, despite heavy pressure to do so
from business interests, the military, and
members of his administration. It should
be noted that the CIA and the Eisenhower
administration were initially tolerant of
the revolutionary Cuban government until
Castro instituted an agrarian reform program that nationalized American-owned
sugar cane plantations and cattle ranches ,
whereby the U.S. Government insures the
continued existence of foreign governments that will allow American-based
multinationals to exploit the people and
resources of their nations.

The U .S. Government is telling lies
about the two year old Sandinista Governmen~ in Nicaragua. A package of propaganda i~ being used to undermine the first
humanist government Nicaragua has ever
had. The U .S. seems intent on crushing
every popular organization in Latin America that appears to threaten its "interests"
-namely, exploitation by American
. multinationals.
Lately, claims that the Sandinista
Government is massacring and forCibly relocating some of its indigenous Atlantic
coast peoples have received much press
coverage . The facts seem to warrant clarification.
The native Indian population in Nicaragua numbers about 100,000 and consists
of only three tribes: the Miskito, Sumo,
and Ramaquie, all living on the east coast.
Most indigenous peoples in Latin America
were wiped out by the diseases that the
Europeans brought to this conti nent and
therefore the majority of these natives are
of mixed blood. (There are even a few
blond Indians, as the U.S. Marines were
stationed in Nicaragua for 20 years) . These
Indians were mostly overlooked by the
Spaniards, who contented themselves with
exploitation of the west coast~ of Central
America. The east coast had contacts only
with English Caribbean pirates who traded
machetes, guns and cloth for canoes,
turtles, honey and fruit. I n the early 1700s
Britain became a "protectorate" of the
Atlantic coast of Nicaragua .
The Monroe doctrine of 1823 essentially
established the U,S. as the agent of imperialism in the Western Hemisphere.
Britain withdrew from Nicaragua's east
coast and all of Latin America came under
U.S. influence. According to Roxanne
Dunbar Ortiz, a professor in Latin American Studies at U .c., Hayward, who lectured at TESC on the Nicaraguan Indian
situation, the U.S. controlled 95% of the
Nicaraguan economy by the early 1900's.
One of the major U ,S. corporations in
Nicaragua was the United Fruit Company
(UFC). UFC controlled almost the entire
eastern portion of the country, which is
very rich in minerals and forestland. The
Indians were employed in UFC factories
and gold mines. This U.S. multinational
also cut down every last mahogany tree in
the region and made ch iclets from the tar
of Nicaraguan pine trees.
Needless to say, the Indians were highly
exploi ted and within a few years had been
transformed from self-sufficient farmers
into hard working laborers living in abject
poverty. For the' first time, these Indians
needed money to buy their few basic
necessities, which were sold at inflated
prices by UCF .
Under the Somoza regime these Indians
had very little contact with the army. 90%
of the Nicaraguan population lives in the
western third of the country, and this is
where Somoza concentrated his now infamous exploitation and repression of the
Nicaraguans.
When Ja cobo Arbenz , presi dent of
Guatemala, attempted to nationalize the
immense land holdings and transportation
monopolies of the United Fruit Company,
hi s government fell swiftly to a CIAorgani zed and funded coup.
The CIA played a major role in orchestrating the military coup that overthrew
Salvador Allende, the Socialist president
of Chile . The issue here was Allende's
attempt to nationalize the copper mining
operations of Anaconda and Kennecott
Copper Companies, and In's monopoly
of the communications network in Chile.
The CIA is merely the shock troop
brigade of American foreign policy. Operating in conjunction with the U.s. State
Department, the CIA provides the means

When the revolutionary Sandinista
Government came to power, one of their
first proclamations was a guarantee of
ecflJal rights for all peoples of Nicaragua.
They also began a massive literacy campaign throughout the entire country, as
they believe that all people have the right
to be educated and to critically analyze
their social system.
Shortly after the overthrow of Somoza,
UFC pulled most of its industry out of
Nicaragua, leaving behind a large number
of unemployed Miskito Indians. These
Indians tended to blame the new government for their situation. Also, the Miskitos
had been accustomed to crossing the
Honduran .. 6erder to buy goods from
neighboring villages and after the revolution the Honduran government refused to
acknowledge the Sandinistan cordobas
(the official Nicaraguan currency). The
Indians again blamed their new government.
The Miskitos also resented the army
personnel that came to their region fol lowing the revolution . The soldiers were
placed there to stave off anticipated
counterrevolutionary attacks from the
Honduran border. These misunderstandings created a rift between the newly
formed government and the Miskito Indians. It is precisely this lack of under-
standing that forms the basis for highly
exaggerated U.S. news reports of conf licts
in the area
In December of 1981, some of Somoza's
ex-guards began an offensive, code-named
"Red Christmas" They started shooting
from the Honduran border into Nicaragua,
trying to provoke the Sandinista patrols to
shoot back into Honduras, thereby giving
the ex-guards an excuse to invade. The
Sandinistan Army, recogniz ing the ploy,
did not return fire but instead reacted by
evacuating all the Miskito Indians within
the range of fire. These Indians were
located to some of the most fertile lands
on Nica'ragua's east coast, still within the
Miskito territory but far from the Honduran border.
re-
This is the only'relocation of Indians
that the Sandinista Government has under-
taken . It is this movement that the U .S.
Government claims is "forced relocation ."
While the U.S. pre'ss has chosen to sensationalize these charges, it should be
noted that there is an obvious lack of
press coverage of the present relocation
scheme being forced on 6,000 Navajos at
Big Mountain in the Navajo Reservation
by the U.S. Government to give way to
the strip mining of coal in the area.
True to the form of U,S. propaganda,
there has been absolutely no evidence of
Indian massacres by the Sandinistas. Roxanne Dunbar Ortiz, the woman who spoke
at Evergreen, had just returned from an
, ~xtensive visit to Nicaragua where she was
)art of a delegation investigating U.S.
:harges of Indian massacres. She noted
,I]at she found absolutely no basis for
:hese charges and in fact, she maintains
that not one single Miskito Indian has
been killed by the new army.
The only instance of Indian deaths she
cou ld find involved a shootout between
Bluefields (the only city on the Atlantic
coast) police and several Miskito Indians.
This occured when the police had gone to
arrest one Indian charged with counterrevolutionary activity and collaborating
with Somoza's ex-guards. Several Indians
fired upon police and the shootout that
followed left four Indians and four policemen dead. This is a typical police shootout scene that could easily have occured
in the U.S. with no implications besides a
claim to self defense by the police. However, the U,S press has chosen to sensationalize this account and add it as
"proof" of Indian massacres.
Our Government is intent upon denouncing any humani st regime as a communist plot, whi le supporting and actively
encouraging some of the most repressive
governments in the world , This attitude is
defended under the pretense of " protecting free enterprise." What the U.S. Government really wants is freedom to enter
other countries for multinational exploitation, which brings enormous revenues to
the corporations of our " free" country.
After all, a humane government, such as
Nicaragua's, wi ll not allow exploitation of
its people and it is exactly this government that the US. sees as threatening its
interests.
State Department Counsel Robert
McFarlane sums up this situation rather
succinctly : "There must be no doubt .
that the time is past when the U.S. can
tolerate continued encroachment upon
our interests ... (and) the takeover of strategic areas" [Latin America Weekly
Report, 2127181). In light of this officia l
U ,S. view, it hardly comes as a surpri se
that, through the manipulation of facts
and the dissemination of propaganda, our
government is seeking to discredit and
eventually destroy the current Sand inista
Government in Nicaragua i1nd replace it
with the old repressive regime that always
received full U.S. support

Oh Yes, a Bit More
Editor :
I am writing in response to the proposed
cha nges being discussed for the Corner.
The projected managerial and financial
take-over of the Corner by SAGA food
industries is a blatant rejection of the purpose and intention for the Corner's existence, as well as a denial of the alternative position that the Corner has afforded
its workers and patrons.
SAGA is a major corporate industry
which is involved in the food services of
practically all college campuses and other
institutions, including hospitals. Despite
the intention to "maintain the food quality which is presently offered at the
Corner," it is obvious that the energy and
intimacy of the operation will be severely
hindered. It is pretty clear that employees
of employers who are not concerned with
the daily discourse of a business's activities cannot become as involved with the
business as do employees who share in
the decision making process.
The Comer is not only a fine place to
get food , but is perhaps even more importantly a political expression of an alternative to the impersonal, profit-oriented
business which operates and controls the
remaining food services on the Evergreen
campus. It is crucial that this community
continues to examine and experiement
with situations not found in 'the mainstream of the present society, to test their
efficienq and validity, and to display
them to the outside community.
Clearly the current Corner staff has
demonstrated that a worker-run, worker
managed (or rather, student-run, studentmanaged) rl'staurant can serve high
quality, fresh food with an abundance of
smiles and love while financially maintaining themselves. This can be achieved
with the awareness that they are completely involved with the entire operation,
sharing all roles and fulfiHin~ the collective working unity which so needs to be
atisfied and demonstrated in our culture.
The response of the Corner's patrons
reflects an appreciation and support of
this intimate involvement by its workers
with the restaurant, which would undoubtedly give way to the reaction so
often observed in the deli and cafeteria
should SAGA take over the Corner.
There has been a great deal of political
sympathy towards reducing support of
SAGA on Campus and the Corner has
presented itself as an alternative, which
partially explains, its success . It is beyond
doubt that the students at this school who
have displayed their skills and talents in
food preparation and distribution can
manage the transformation of the Corner
from a three-hour dinner service to a full
two-meal restaurant during the week and
a brunch restaurant for the weekends,
There is sti II another crucial aspect to
this controversy and it is of academic
importance. The Corner's presence provides an opportunity for students to become involved with a small-scale business
operation which is invaluable for tu(t skills .
and knowledge it can distribute. It is possible to give students a clear perspective
of how a business needs to be run, which
includes the diverse range of neccessary
activities, jobs, tasks, emotional stress and
stability, etc. Such a perspective is quite
helpful in providing students with the
ability to manage themselves when they
leave the college, not only if they are to
be involved with a business, but also to
have the awareness of what running a
business entails. The potential educational
possibilities are endless.
The original idea .to expand the Corner
onto a larger scale was devised by the student managers of hausing to iJ-ccomodate
the students. The intervention of SAGA
hadn't even entered "thp.p~re . Thp
Corner's presence as a minimal tood service did not threaten SAGA, but as it
prepares to expand, suddenly SAGA becomes involved. Now, it is more important
than ever to say no to SAGA and to continue to have the Corner run exclusively
by students as a service to other students
and the community, and to stand up to
the political and philosophical foundation
which makes Evergreen what it is. Let's do
it, this is the time to speak up and be
heard . The Chant is going UPI
P.5. All support is essential, please
leave notes in the Comments box at the
Corner. There will be an open forum
meeting for everyone interested in helping the Corner remain a student run cooperative this Friday, April 22, at noon in
CAB 306. Please attend, if for no other
reason than to assist in writing a petition.
There will be a second meeti"ng Monday
at noon in the Corner, A dorm.
Sincerely,
Calili
And Finally
Editor:
It seems once again the big kids are
getting their way.when I was little I lived
in a neighborhood where the big kids
could always take over the little kids' fort.
I thought: "Oh well, some day I'll be big
too. "
j.
As I grew up I discovered that " free
market capitalism" is just a grown-up version of my neighborhood as a kid. My
father is a self proclaimed entrepeneur.
He started businesses for a living. Over
and over again, as soon as his ideas succeeded, there were the big kids, somehow
always able to monopolize the fort. At
first economic difficulty, the little kids,
lacking fluid capital, have to sell out.
Today I heard that Evergreen's big kids
have set their eyes on the little kids' fort
in the corner of A dorm ... such is the
SAGA of the food monopoly.

Dissatisfaction Over Corner Plans
By Roger Dickey
Possible changes in The Corner in A
Dorm have produ ced strong rea ctions
among Evergreen students. Most of the
concern centers around maintaining the
casual atmosphere of the Corner and student control of thi s food operation . Students were overwhelmingly in favor of the
enlarged space, but expressed fea rs that
The Corner would no longer be a casual ,
comfortable eating place with home-style
cooking.
Evergreen student Marion Kirshen
summed up her sentiments : "You can' t
change the menu and the space and the
staff and have it be The Corner."
Chri s Martin, also a student, acknowledged the problems with variety and
volume of food; but said: "I'm willing to
put up with them being out of food sometimes. The food is good quality and I like
the way it's prepared . I wouldn't want to
sacrifice that ju st so there was some sort
of fast food arrangement."
Student Johanna Pembl e said : " I appreciate this place, I hate to see it
change. I'm afraid it will become like
going into another SAGA in the bottom
of the CAB'"
Most of th e students intervi ew ed
thought SAGA does a better job at Evergreen than food services at other colleges .
A lot of the concern centered around a
desire for an alternative food service at
Evergreen ru n by students.
Judith Johnson of The Concern staff
thinks a student cooperative can operate
the expanded food servi ce and provide
internships in food service management,
nutrition , accounting and marketing.
"Our policy has always been that The
Corner is there to support students. I f the
Corner is going to change to meet st udent
needs , it should be changed in the way
that benefits st udents the most ."
Johnson sa id that with larger kitchen
space and more equipment a student
organi za tion could provide longer serving
hours, a wider menu selection and more
food. But this will require a larger group
of students and someone with a lot of
experi ence to manage it. She thinks the
necessary sk ill s are available within the.
student populati on at Evergreen .
According to Ken Jacob, the proposed
menu changes are in response to student
desires. The issue at this point is what
the students want and how many students
want it.
Randy Hayden, District Manager for
SAGA, sa id that SAGA has not made a
decision yet on The Corner.
" If we do, we will mai ntai n any atmosphere that we're asked to by the coll ege
as long as we can meet sanitation requirements. We're willing to use crockery and
keep a casual atmosphere."
Hayden said that SAGA would be willin g to co nsid er some other type of
uniforms than those used in the CAB, but
said that uniforms promote a consistent
image, safety, and save employees money.
Hayden said that the college will tell
SAGA what type of food service it wants
and SAGE will decide if it is feasible for
them to provide it.
'We're here to serve the college. We' ll
give them what thev wanf"

Movie Review
Music Review
Oly, Oly, Oly, ·Oly, Overview
By David Goldsmith
Some thoughts on what's cu rrently
showing around town while waiting for
Das Boat to make its olywa debut .
For whodunit fans and those who, like
myself, have always shi ed away from the
genre for being insipid and/or for having
a too obvious solution.1 recommend
Deathtrap . Translated to film by Director
Sidney Lumet from Ira Levin's hit Broadway play,Deathtrap is a neat little production. True to the best spirit of the genre
al l the necessary info is presented to the
audience to enable s/ he to second guess
the acti on. All the same it would be surprising if even the most die-hard mystery
fanatics and armchair sleuths don't get
tripped up at least a few times by this
one. Michael Caine, Dyan Cannon and
Christopher Reeve (who in o ne fell swoop
has permanently shed his Superman
persona here) all turn in respectable
performances as they drop double and
triple en tendres in this fabulously multi leveled plot. It's mindless, yes , but amusing, and it makes Agatha Ch ri stie look like
a bungling nine year old . It beats 16
games of Pacman for its price.
Richard Pryor fans have two new
movies to see: Live on Sunset Strip and
Some Kind of Hero. They are both disappointing, but for different reasons. The
Live show (filmed on two consecutive
nights in LA} is reminiscent of Lenny
Bruce nightclub footage a year or so
before his death. Pryor apPears to have
peaked out He has slowed down a few
steps and hi s face is as puffy as an old
boxer's (though there is no sign of burn
scars from hi S infamous freebasing episode) Pryor's humor in Live is muted and
less specul ative than Bru ce's while his
delivery is more fluid and coherent. It is
touching to hear him talk about hi s real
and very troubled life, a life in which
comedy is hi s religion : something of a
hope born of despair. The last thing I
should wish to do is ring Pryor's death
knell prematurely but the sad fact is that
the true guffaws are few and far between
in Live .
The trouble with his other movie, Some
Kind of Hero , is that it doesn't know if it
is supposed to be a slap-stick comedy or a
socially relevant piece. Consequently it is

worst "Best Picture" in recent memory.
Pedantic, dated, Chariots is two-plus hours
of religious invec tive leaving one with the
impression that a better title might have
been Chariots of the Cads. Really, who
cares about the 1920 Olympics? Not me;
nor you, I trust, should you be foolish
enough to waste your time and money on
this one. It's sappy, from the soft-focu s .
photography to the maudlin musical score
by electron ic keyboard whiz Vangeli s.
Chariots is just one bloody long bore.
While I have my rapier-like wit unsheathed, a few words about Vangel is .
Some 15 years ago he was breaking new
ground in the classical / rock scene with
his seminal band Aphrodites Child (does
anyone out there remember their LP
"666" ?). Later he did some lovely work
with Jon Anderson of Yes, generating
rumors about Vangelis replaCing Rick
Wakeman after Yes's disastrous Tales from
Topographi c Oceans tour. Instead Vangelis
took to composing soundtracks for the
cinema. His first scores (for such disparate
films as L'Apocalypse Des Animals and
Triumph) were powerful; stl!;]ning in
scope and marked by some imaginative
atonal structuring. These days though
Vangel is has apparently succumbed to the
banality of Hollywood with uninspired
work in Missing and Chariots. He'd be
better off splicing together Aphrodites
Child tracks as he seems incapable of (or
unWilling to) rekindle the old flames of
creativity . One would hope this is a passing phase but the pressures (in the guise
of big bucks, increased air play and more
award,S) are strong for Vangel is to continue spewing out the same mush as of
late.
Back to the movies. Horror-movie freaks
also have a couple of films to check out
in town this week. Cat People (a remake
of the '42 movie of the same name) and
American Werewolf in London are showing on a twin-bill at the Olympi c. Both
films are full of blood and guts and sex.
Werewolf is at times an amusing spoof on
the classic full-moon scam while Cat
People highlights the incredibly seductive
N.astassia Kinski. The symbolism in Cat
People is drawn with such a heavy hand
one winds up laughing whenever not
being grossed out.
And lastly, by far the best movie buy
this week goes down at TESC's own
Lecture Hall 1 on Friday night, Aprjl ;!3,-at
7 and 9:30. At that time Francois Traffaut's Shoot the Piano Player will be
shown. Charles Aznavour is excellent as
the pian0 player/concert pianist in what
has been ca lled an existential tragicomedy. Traffaut himself has described
Player, as a "respectful pastiche of the
Hollywood B-film" -but whatever it is it
di splays a wild scene of comedy and is
pictorially a magnificent accomplishment.
One is reminded of Roman Polanski's CuI
De Sac which is my way of saying Player
should not be missed . It's a good deal at
$4-for $125 it cannot be beat!

Hammond Is Unpretenti~us
By Andy Schwarz
The story goes that Jimi Hendrix first
learned some classic old Howlin Wolf
songs from John Hammond. For years
after, Hendrix referred to them as "Hammond songs." Such is the authenticity of
Hammond's style. When I think of John
Hammond, the image that comes to mind
is one of unpretentious honesty.
He began playing Acoustic Blues in
1961, years before most white Americans
even knew that such a folk tradition
existed. True, it was artists like the Stones,
Eric Clapton, and Jimi Hendrix who
brought blues to popular American culture, but it is important to realize that
Hammond is still at it, long after the blues
revival of the Sixties passed into history. ,
Over the years he has played with Duane
Allman, The Band, Hendrix and others,
forever refining his delivery, his ability to
convey the raw power which is blues. "It's
not a matter of technique, it's that pure
emotion." he says.
Though he got his first guitar at the
relatively late age of 17, he was playing
professionally two years later. Obviously
his sensitivity to the music is considerable.
"I'd been listening to the records for
years-all I had to do was get my hands
going," he explains .
In the tradition of other great blues
artists, Hammond is self-taught. He
learned to play from records and watching
the masters of his day: Muddy Waters,
Howlin Wolf, and Bo Diddley.
Angel City Plays Literate Hard Rock
by David Gaff and Peter Miller
Angel City is a literate hard rock band
from Australia . Night Attack, is their third
US release since 1978. Their music is a
blend of hard driving blues based rock,
mixed with intelligently written lyrics. The
result is a unique brand of high energy
rock.
Night Attack has taken a step backward
' in production from their first two albums.
They have stripped down their sound by
eliminating keyboards. but sti ll retaining
their " live," not overproduced sound.
Song writing is An gel City's strong point
They know how to craft a song. The lyri cs
are free from cliches and interesting,
while the musi c has the ability to get you
on your feet and moving.
W e agree that Runnin' Wild is one of
the best songs on the album. It is a q\Jirky,
catchy song about a girl breaking out of
the shell imposed on her by her parents.
Instead of taking the usual " nail the
virgin," " macho," hard assed approach,
Doc Neeson writes lyri cs which are
thoughtfully sympathetic. Many of Angel
City's songs are about the upper class, or
individuals' struggles to reach it, but they
are not sure if they want to get there. Liv- ing on the Outside, Fashion and Fame,
Talk About You, and Storm the Bastille all
share this theme.
City Out of Control is a song with great
lyrics and interesting guitar work . The in-
troductory guitar part is fascinating, as the
guitarist tries to imitate city noises. The
guitar is both intriguing and irritating at
the same time.
David: The worst two songs on the
album are Fashion and Fame and Night
Attack. Angel City has usually used instrumental cliches that they repeat over and
over. On these two songs, they take traditional rock instrumental cliches and
pound them into the ground. Doc
Neeson's vocals on Night Attack get too
far out of control, unlike every other .
Angel City song where he is in complete
control. His vocals hold the stake for the
other band members to drive into the
ground, out of sight of all reality and
control.
The two best songs on the album are
Living on the Outside and Back on You
They epitomize the consistent trend that
Angel City has set forward : good guitars,
strong vocal s, intelligent lyrics, and steady
drums. There can be no doubt who wrote
these two songs, unlike Fas hion and Fame
and Night Attack which could have been
penned by any average hard rock band.
Peter : I think that Long Night and
Storm the Bastille (the first and last songs
respec tively) are the weakest songs o n t he
album, but are still better than many
groups' best efforts.
The first three tracks that begi n the
album are too weak. It does n't really get
. going until Fashion and Fame. I thought
that Fashion and Fame was an average
song on first li sten , but this song grows on
you. The hint 6f acoustic guitar adds lu st
the ri ght flavor.
Night Attack - this hard rocker is quite
a good song. The lyri cs and the desperate
sty le in which Neeson sings them work
together to further the threatening feeling
of thi s song. Talk About You is another
favorite that takes a bit different, almost
quirky, drum beat . .Nothin' to Win is my
favorite song on Night Attack . It is a well
written song that is overflowing with
energy.
"Man, you just listen a lot, and try. If
you try hard enough it'll happen," says
Hammond.
Although he has several albums with
full, Chicago-style blues bands, he prefers
to play solo.
"Not that it isn't fun to play with a
band," he says, but what he does best,
and has been working on for the past 21
years, is the most basic iJnd honest form
of blues.
With powerfully soulful vocals, driving
slide guitar and harmonica accompaniment, Hammond strives to show the audience the heart of American blues . His
stress is not on style but on authenticity.
To Hammond, it's "the most powerful
American folk art." Indeed Delta Blues is
as conspicuously American as Jack
Keruac and Thunderbird wine. To seeand feel-Hammond play is to explore
the very depths of our culture,
The future for Hammond looks bright.
He's got a new album out on Rounder
Records and is enjoying a new-found
musical freedom.
"Rounder doesn't do all that much in
terms of promo . .. but then, they don't
make many demands either. I'm very
fortunate," he says. In June, he'll be
touring Europe and a live solo album is
forthcoming.
In speaking with him it becomes clear
that he is not out to make millions. He
does what he has chosen to do, with
incredible sensitivity and skill-something
all too rare these days.
John Hammond is a unique and inspiring musician, as well as a warm
human being. Come to Library 4300 on
the TESC campus, tonight at 8, for a
powerful vision of the phenomenon
called blues.
Davids body... his mind ... his life ...
are no longer his own.
