Faced with the uncertainties of local
economic recovery and future population
trends, the Council for Postsecondary
Education (CPE) released a draft of their
plan last month. This plan will guide
Washington State's colleges and universities through the next six years .
"One thing is clear," reads the document, "There are no longer sufficient
financial aid resources to maintain the
levels of expectation and commitments
reached during the 1970's ... Without considerably improved economic conditions
or increased tax support, higher education
cannot be presumed to be a social obligation to an individual without a corresponding demonstration of effort on the
student's part"
The plan recommend s that state funding be reduced for Washington colleges
and universities, along with enrollment
levels. The CPE sees this measure as
temporary, w ith both e'nrollment and
funding p ick ing up towards the year 1986.
Pl anners hope for a period of " reconstruct ion" between 1987 and 1989, but higher
educat ion in this state may never be the
sa me:
" What is envisioned is not a return to
the status quo ante: rather, it is a new era
in high er educat ion characteri zed by the
permanent elimination of those peripheral
programs, structures, activities, and involvements that failed to w ithstand t he
pri or ity ass ignments imposed during hard
tinles. "
With regards to th e future of Evergreen,
the CPE brought up four common ly
suggested options :
1. Closure.
2. Conversion in to a regu lar reg io nal
institu t ion .
3. Assumpt ion o f a statewide role as an
altern at ive inst itution .
4. Designation of TESe as a branch of
o ne of the two state universiti es,
particu larly the University of W ashin gton (UW) .
A 1978 Cou ncil study o f TESC coneluded that there was a state need

for the in stitution , therefore " closure
is not advocated" by the planners. The
coun cil does not place much emphasis on
option three, a statewide role for Evergreen as an altern ative institution . It says
that that role is already being fu lfilled by
TESC, supplemented by Huxley and Fairhaven Colleges at Western W ashington
University (\lvWU) .
The council sees potential in either
co nverting TESC into a " regul ar regional
institution ," or in making it a branch of
UW. At the same time, the CPE wants to
continue with its 1978 recommendat io n
that Evergreen be extended a " grace
period" through 1985, to permit its
development.
The major c hange advocated for TESC
in the plan involves assigning the school
a " clearer rol e as a liberal arts coll ege,
w ith state-w ide responsibilities '
It is recommended that Evergreen continue its contractual arrangements with
the University of Puget Sound fo r teacher
ed ucati o n programming, and not develop
its own program in t his area .
The p lan calls upon Evergreen to : provide more comprehensive eve ning programs for adults in the O lympi a area;
develop the interrelationship with Olympia

Tec hni ca l Community Coll ege more fully ;
and to establi sh a state government policy
research resource at the coll ege.
" The pedagogical approach to learning
utilized by TESC sho uld be left to that
instituti o n, as long as its educationJI style
is effect ive," says the plan .
The counc il makes reference to a lack
of preparation in ent ering co ll egl> students
based upo n a 17-year dec line in co ll pge
admi ss io n test scores . To add ress the
problem of " defi cienc ies in academi c
preparatiQn for co ll ege:' the plan rec ommends that Washington's four -yea r insti lutions deve lop min imum admi ss ion r~L
luirements w hi ch invo lve completi o n of
l.E'rtain hi gh sc hool cou rses.
The counc il recommend s that TESC and
Washington State Uni vers ity (WSU) limit
entrants to the top 25% of the graduatin g
class (or equiva lent) . The UW would limi t
C'ntr ants to the top 15% of t he gradu atin g
class lInd er the plan, and cOlllmunity
colleges wo uld retain an "open door"
poli cy.
It is c lear from the CPE recommendatio ns that hi gh-tec hnol ogy and indu strialrelated programming represents a priority
area in future educati ona l development.

Student Lobby: Now Or Never
by Dan Gorham
The Washington State Legislature does
not convene for another two months,
however, political squalls in higher education have already begun forming, indicating a stormy session may lie ahead.
Last Friday, the Council for Postsecondary Education recommended a
tuition increase for Washington's colleges
and universities. The recommendation
was based upon an assessment of each
institution's operating costs. Under state
law, the Counci l determines the operational cost every two years .and the students pay a set percentage of that cost.
At Evergreen and the three regional
universiti es, res ident students pay 25 percent of the instru ctional costs. The
recommendation was attributed to rising
overhead costs, whi ch will be reflected by
an eight to twelve percent tuit ion increase
next fall.
The Washington Association of University Students (WAUS) immediately
anno un ced plans to oppose the increased
tuition levels in the legislature through
their newly formed W ashington Student
Lobby (WSL) WAUS organized the student lobby last winter in response to
repeated fiscal attacks on higher educai----· '-" -"-· ,~·- " -'·-, I -·,-.·,

tion by the legislature. WSL argues that
the tuition increases and budget cuts are
systematically eroding both the quality
and accessibil ity of higher edu cation in
Washington . The lobby group is funded
by partiCipating colleges and universities
who impose a self-tax of $1 upon each
student per quarter. This fund should
generate $200,<XX> annually, which will be
used to monitor legislative proceedings,
establish information offices on each
campus, and fund a full-time professional
lobbyist to work on behalf of higher
education.
"Students have been bearing the brunt
of the state;s financial pinch," said WSL
organizer Greg Sobel. "The Washington
Student Lobby will seek to rebuild support for equal access to quality higher
education ."
Tuition at Washington's colleges and
universities has risen over 70% in the past
two years . In response to the latest tuition
levels, Mark Murphy, President of the
Ass.ociated Students at Western Washington University stated : " This is another
substantial increase and it would force
many students to terminate their studies."
Thus far, the WSL membership drive
has been successful at a'lI of the state's
four-year schools except Evergreen and
Eastern Washington ·University. Membership in WSL is dependent upon approval
by at least 51% of the school 's student
body, and authorization of a billing
process by the Board of Trustees. last

spring student organizers began a membership drive at Evergreen, however, it
concluded with signatures from 45 % of
the student body, or 6% short of the
necessary target.
Another membership drive will begin at
Evergreen this month. Connie Gray, Evergreen's WAUS representative, said: " This
is it, we have tried to get Evergreen into
the WSl before and if we can't do it this
time it won't get done. " The $1 per
quarter membership fee would be added
directly to tuition and each student
retains the option of a refund if desired .
The actual billing format will be more
clearly determined by the Board of
Trustees.
" It's very important for Evergreen to
join us in the WSl," said WAUS president
Donna Christian. " Both for the sake of the
student lobby and for Evergreen's future."
In a certain respect, Evergreen has the
most to gain from participation in the
WSL. The threat to close Evergreen will
undoubtedly be raised at the next legislative session . While simi lar bills have not
gai ned mu ch support in the past, the
state's current f inancial crisis may create
a different cl imate for action . Membership
in the WSL will provide Evergreen students with representation in the legislative
arena. At the cost of $1 per person, we
. can't afford not to join.
Volunteers will be needed for the signature drive. For more information contact
Connie Gray at 866-1844.

Your signature will make a difference:
The difference? It could enable Evergreen
to become a IDcal branch of the Washington Public Information Research Croup '
(WashPIRC) . Beginning next Monday, the
friendly petitioners of the Evergreen
WashPIRG will be looking for your endorsement, the signature that will make a
difference:
What is the difference students can
make? "Having access to their fellow students, faculty, the laboratories, computers
and I ibraries, gives students an advantage
most other citizens do not have in confronting social and economic problems,"
says Ralph Nader, who originally conceptualized PIRCs in 1970.
The PIRCs are now a national network
of state PIRGs, which are formed by the
college campuses in a given state. In
order for Evergreen to form a branch of
the Washington PIRG, the students here,
through a petition drive, must demonstrate a majority in support of its organi zation and funding. For the petition to
be successful , about 1300 student signatures must be collected by Friday,
November 19.
If the proposal is approved by students,
it will be sent to the board of trustees and
the college president for official endDrsement by the college.
,
A TESC PIRG would be funded and controlled by students. The budget would be
independent of the Student Activity fee;
each quarter when tuition and fees are
paid, a majority of the students must
support TEse PIRC by pledging two
dollars support.
Each voluntary membership would
allow the individual to cast a vote to

One example of how a TESC PIRC
might function would be the way in
whi ch it CQuid collaborate with academic
'programs. For example, during winter and
spring quarters of 1983, TESC faculty,
Matt Sm ith, will be -teaching "Power and
Politics ." The class will be researching
and reporting on the di stributi on of economic and political power in Washington
state. A TESC PIRC might be interested in
publishing thi s student research and sharIIlg it wit h students, citizens, other state
PIRC s, or even using it for lobbying
purposes.

Dear Sandy:
I, for one, am fed up with, disgusted
by, and deeply aggrieved at the manner in
which the garbage of this great country of
ours has been systematically repressed by
those who seek to estrange it from the
society of man forever.
Even as I pen this letter there are heaps
of garbage and refuse of every description
yearning to breath free, to once more
know the joy of feeling the sun and rain
on their worn and tired faces . Nobody
I-ikes to feel useless and unwanted, especially not garbage.
Yet, we have today in our great nation ,
legislation that prohibits, under penalty of
law, rehabilitating garbage to an active
role in the betterment of our society. A
pair of boots in a department store
dumpster cannot be reclaimed by a co ncerned citi zen and given a new, meaningful place in our society . A loaf of bread or
a head of cabbage, forced to rot away in
the dank recesses of a grocery store's
dumpster ca nnot be adopted by a philanthropic citizen, taken home, cl eaned up,
and given a place at the dinner table.
Instead, this refuse is locked away from
needy, well-meaning citizenry in literally
hundreds of thousands of small, windowless metal cells, some measuring less than
three feet across. From here 'they are
taken in heavily armored government
trucks to large concentration centers of
indescribable squalor. This is it, the last
stop for these pitiful outcasts which
society has deemed undesirable, and no
longer useful. Some are forced to sit idly
by, wasting away, never allowe9 to realize
their full potential. Others meet a more
sudden, more horrible demise, consumed
by the inferno of the furnace, or s~biected
to the gruesome experiments of technocratic scientists,
This is not a fascist state we live in, and
there are no "final solutions." That is why
the G.l.O_ (Garbage Liberation Organization) urges you to contact your senator,
or write the president, and do whatever
you can to help repeal this repressive
legislation that is making' a mockery of
every principle of freedom, justice, and
equality that we, as citizens of the United

Nonviolence Key To Land Reform In India ·

Democrats Regain Legislative Control
re~ort ed

by I:than M Kell y

With the Democrats rega ining control
of the Wash ington State Legislature in last
week '< elect ion, it has become apparent
that major changes I ie ahead in the
stt-wardshlp of state fi scal poli(y. The
emphas is is going to be pl aced on taxation
and tax reform , rather than on further
budget cutting in social services and
educati on .
Washington State is one of only a
handful of states that does not have an
income tax. In the last special session of
the legislature, Republican lawmakers

to a sa les tax on food to make up
a revenue shortage . Governor Spellman
reluc tantly went along. Although Initiative
435, whi ch would have repealed the food
tax in January, failed, under current law
the food tax expires in June The state will
have to find an alternative to make up
the loss of approximately $200 million in
revenue that the expiration of the food
tax wi II represent. Overall , the legislature
must deal with a $1 .5 to $2 billion shortfall when it convenes in January. Washington State law requires a balanced
budget.
In their state platform, the Democrats
'. endorse a flat rate (proportional) tax of

one percent on individual income. Most
Democratic legislative candidates campaigned with open suggestions that an
in come tax of some form be adopted .
Surprisingly, many Republicans (contrary
to their party platform) refused to rule out
the possibility of an income tax . However,
despite the growing support of lawmakers,
some sectors of the business community,
state labor leaders, economists, and to a
still limited degree Governor Spellman
(who ran on a "no new taxes" GOP platfomi), most recent polls continue to show
that a majority of Washington State voters
remain opposed to any form of an income
tax.
Any income tax enacted by the legislature would have to be approved by voters
in a referendum. On three occasions the
Evans administration successfully lobbied
the legislature to pass an income tax bill ,
and all each of those three occasipns the
voters rejected it.
While the Democratic leadership and
Governor Spellman contemplate an
income tax they will have to deal adroitly
with some immediate fiscal remedies if
the state is to avoid a sea of red ink,
Senate Minority Leader Ted Bottiger, the
Pierce County Democrat who is in the
running to become the Senate's Majority
Leader in the upcoming session, said last
week that he would be in favor of reimposing the penny increase in the sales tax
and various tax surcharg~s- to enable the
state to meet its financial obligations next
year. " My recommendation to the (Democratic) caucus would be to do that right
off the bat - the first week of the session,"
Bottiger stated,

ownership of the land. This is the message
now being given, Even to people affected
by this message, it is no secret, it is out in
the open. There is no secrecy in truth and
non-violence; we use open methods.
"Openly we know that land belongs to
God. But is this a thesis? Karl Marx said
land belongs to the state, that may be
another thesis, but this man's (Vinoba's)
thesis is that, and this is not a postual
root but an absolute root, land belongs to
God. Just as the sun, air, water, and the
sky . .. this land is also God's. It is one of
the natures. You cannot possess the land
or say that the sky is mine, the air is mine,
the water is mine, the sun is mine, So also
the man cannot claim ownership of the
earth and the land. So this is the message
our movernent gives.
"With this message there is God in you .
I don't know if youths like you have faith
in that, but we believe that there is God
everywhere. God is in the hearts of the
landlords, Can you see that? Vinoba says :
'I'm going on a pilgrimage to see God in
the landlords' hearts.' Yes, he is seeing
God, but is he able to get land , Yes, there
are now hundreds of people who have
given all their lands, mind that, given all
their lands, Whatever they had, one acre
alone, ten acres, one man of 6,000
acres . . . he has given all his acres. All that
is happening this moment. There is not
too many, they are not in the thousands
yet, but there are some who have given
all their lands. Yes, Vinoba speaks truth ..
"Yes, I'm not a cultivator so I have no
right to keep the land . I'm a doctor, I'm a
Jawyer, a teacher, a businessman . What
right have I to keep land? I'm not a cultivator. You know Vinoba says the land
belongs to the tiller, Gandhi also said
that. Here in your country I know how
many people . .. how many big, big corporations and companies are ownjng the
land. Why should they own the land? Is it
not a sin against God . . a sin against
humanity, and a social crime against the
people? This is what Vinoba says. 'It is a
sin against God, it is a crime against
humanity the way you non-cultivators
possess the land .' He says: 'Give up,
surrender the land to the cultivators: this '
is Vinoba's message, People hearing this
message have given to Vinoba nearly 4.3
million acres, yes these acres have returned back to the cultivators,
" Vinoba asked the 1,()(X}.acre landholders to give up 100 acres or 200
acres . .. just like that. This is the first part
of the movement. The second part of the
movement . , . you know after seven years.

The one-cent increase in the sales tax
and the surcharges, imposed by lawmakers
last year, and again earlier this year to
wipe out the state's budget deficit, are
scheduled to end June 30 (along with the
food tax), the end of the state's two-year
budget period. Bottiger would like to
extend those additional taxes, with the
exception being the controversial food tax.
Early indications are the Governor
Spellman is likely to go along with
. Bottiger's recommendations , In fact, many
expect Spellman, a moderate Republican,
to have a much more constructive relationship with the new Democratic controlled legislature than he has had over
the past two, sometimes stormy, years
with a Republican controlled legislature'
whose leadership was decidedly conservative,
The major long-term question of a state
income tax may boil to the surface as
early as next month ~hen the Tax Advisory
Council releases its recommendations.
The council has been charged with
making recommendations for a complete
restructuring of the state's tax system,
When the council reports to the legislature next month, it is expected to recommend an income tax as part of the new
tax system, If the legislature agrees, a
referendum could be held as early as next
November, It's going to be an interesting
year fqr Washington lawmakers and
citizens.

Driftwood Daycare Center Needs Your Help
by Steve Kistler
WANTED: Students interested in childcare for substitute ' positions at Driftwood Daycare Center. Pays $3.35/ hr.
No experience necessary,
Evergreen's Driftwood Daycare Center
is badly in need of substitute teachers this
year. For those of you who are not
familiar with the Center, it is an 18-yearold farmhouse that was purchased with
the campus, and is situated about half a
mile past the Dorm loop on Driftwood
Road. Driftwood Daycare has been serving
student, faculty, and staff since the school
opened in 1972, when it was first started
by a group of faculty wives and student
parents. At first, only the directorship was
funded by S&A and all other work was
done by volunteers. At present they are
funded for a director, one lead teacher,
and five teachers on work study. The
children's parents must each work for four
hours a month .
The Driftwood Board, a parents advisory
board, takes care of parent grievances and
policy decisions. It consists of two staff,
one faculty, one student intern, and five
parents. Recently they made 'an exception
to the 18-month to five-year age restric-

tion' to allow kindergartners on half-{jay
sessions at public schools,
The Center is primarily for low-income
single parents who are facu lty, full-time
students, or staff, with priority in that
order. At the present time they are at full
enrollment, serving,35 children of 32
parents. Rates range from $2 to $7 per
day, graduated according to parent
income,
Activities are designed to meet the
learning needs of each individual, so the
age range requires a wide variety of
activities . These include creative art,
cognitive and manipulative skills, gross
motor skills, and musi c and movement.
They have an outdoor play area behind
the house, a trailer for a nap room, and a
beach two blocks away. The children all
seem to enjoy the time spent there.
O ne parent who has two children at the
Center likes the " .. . non-coercive atmosphere at Driftwood , There is structure, but
not so the kids can't have a lot of freedom." There are only three rules ; the
children can't hurt themselves, they can't
hurt each other, and they can't damage
the equipment.
" The Daycare Center is desperately in
need of substitutes," says director Virg ini a
Brian . " Our work-study students are not
available for all the necessary hours,

lESC Community Remembers Mary Ellen Hillaire
by Samuel Hendricks
By noon there were hU:ldreds of people
li stening to speeches, singing, laughing,
and cry ing. It was a strange mix of faculty,
staff, and students assembled to ce lebrate
the life and mourn the death of Mary
Ellen Hillaire, the facu lty member for
Native American Studies who died on
October 21 "
Having never met her, my interest in
Hillaire's life was sparked mainly by the
widespread reaction to her death. I had
stumbl€d into the gathering on the
library's 4th floor on Novernber 1, to find
co lleagues 'and friend s of Hillaire sharing
their perspectives on t he founder of the
Native American Studies program ,

This movement started in 1951, and went
'til 1957 appealing only to the big landlords . walking, walking, walking .. daily,
One day, ten miles, twenty miles, thirty
miles. Daily this man walked and got the
land , Then after 1957, a second story, that

'You fellows, you people come together.
It's very easy for you . You have small
holdings, why not come together. It's very
easy for you, You have small holdings,
why not come together and give up your
small holdings and become a family holding or a village holding, Then if you don't
do that, how can you expect the 1()()(}.acre
holder to corne. Already he has given
something now, but he has these other
holdings in the villages. How can he give
all his lands unless you people, you small
people, you surrender to the village community your small, small ownership. You
say my land, my land , my land! Can't you
say our landl One villag~, 50 families, 100
families .. ca n't you say our land? Village
land! '
" This appeal went to the small holders,
and hundreds of hundreds of families,
they accepted this. So then many villages
of small landholders have given all their
lands to village ownership. What do you
think of- this? Is it a revolution or not,
what do you think of this? You are students ..
Coming up in this series will be Krishnammai's account of working with India 's
Untouchable caste for land reform,

Farewell Mary , thank you for your spirit and dedication

about her life. I was constant ly in awe at
the fervor with which people would talk
l bout her goals and accomplishments .
Betsy Diffendal, academic dean, said:
"She was not just a teacher. She was an
educational philosopher of considerable
magnitude."
Hillaire was a lummi Indi an, and she
came from a family of 13 chi ldren . After
obtaining her second bachelors degree,
she received her masters degree in education from Western Washington University,
and began teaching at Evergreen in 1972.
She was the first minority and the first
woman on the college's faculty. The success of Hillaire's program has since given
Evergreen the third highest graduation
rate among Native Americans in the
country.
Hillaire had strong ideas about what
the college should provide for its students,
particularly those in the Native Ameri can
program. She condemned what she considered to be the three elements of traditiona I western education : attendance,
attention, and assignments.
As an alternative, students in her program were given total freedom within the
class structure. Betsy DiHendal pointed
out that Hillaire's emphasis on " personal

1110

authority" created an atmosphere of great
productivity . " Permission gives amazing
'esults:' she said in reference to Native
-\meri can Studies
Hillaire clashed with some of Ever:reen's administrati on, because she beleved that the school's entrance requirements could not fairly be applied to the
circumstances of many Native Americans .
Dave Whitener, a faculty member who
taught with Hi lIaire, pointed out that
some of the people in his program lacked
opportunities for any forma l edu cation
likewise, Hillaire felt that people with a
desire to learn should not be denied
higher education because of their limited
educational experience.
"We had to fight like crazy to get some
students in ," said Lloyd Colfax, who has a
visiting position in the Native Ameri ca n
Studies faculty. Colfax is a former student
of Hillaire's, and he graduated from Evergreen in 1975. like many other Native
American students, Colfax came to the
college because he had heard about
Hillaire's Native Ameri can program.
Mary Hillaire considered the educati onal needs of Native Ameri cans to be
different from those of other students .
She believed that the elements of Native

Many of Hillaire's colleagues spoke of

lr her people. For the Native Ameri ca n

,I an that includes the constru ction of a

vhich Native Americans held rituals and

was recently endorsed in principl e by the

PUDs and Meeting Halls: Legacy of the Grangers
by Arthur West and Ethan Kelly
Scattered across the Pacific Northwest
there remain isolated structures, mute
testimony to the aspirations of a former
age. Bu i It by the Grangers in the early
1900's, most people now have no idea of
who their founders were, or what their
intended function was. Once bustling
centers of politicat activity, the Grange
halls now stand empty, mere remnants of
a bygone era. Another legacy of the
Grangers are the Public Utility Districts
(PUDs) which stand as fixtures on the
political terrain of the Northwest.
Originally convened by the people of
Washington , under local control, with the
goal of providing electric power at the
lowest possible rates consistent with
sound business practices, the PUDs owe
their very existence to the populist
struggles of the Grangers.
Formed in 1867 by Oliver Kelly of
Minnesota, the Patrons of Husbandry, or
Grange, was the first nationwide farm
organization . In a country dominated by
conupt legislatures, omnipotent railroads
ami extortionate trust companies, the
Grange sought to improve the lot of
fanners through education, cooperation,
ami social improvement. Originally a
secret organization, the Grange admitted
women to full and equal membership, a
rad ical stance which predated universa l
sufferage by some 50 years. Although
nonpolitical in the traditional sense, with
no elected candidates or party, radica l
positions were the Grangers' forte
Throughout the late 1800's, many farmers
saw the Grange as an organization

ing effects of the movement took place ir
the Pilci fi( Northwest. Residents of Washington owt-' both the state initiative systen-.

and public utility systems to the foresight
of the Grangers.
The initiative system, by which plebiscite bills may be voted into law by a
mandate of the populace, is a familiar
feature of Washington politics. Almost
everyone is aware of contemporary
examples : Initiative 312, " Don't Waste
Washington"; Initiative 394, "Don't Bank- .
rupt Washington"; Initiat"ive 414, the current "Bottle Bill"; and Initiative 435, to
repeal the food tax. Far fewer can recall
the first, Initiative number 1, which paved
the way for the development of public
power systems throughout the Northwest.
Washington had long been a progressive
state in the area of public power. By 1910
both Seattle and Tacoma had established
publicly owned generating systems to provide their citizens with affordable electric
power. Attempts to expand this service to
rural districts were fiercely opposed by
the privately owned Puget Power and
Lig h t trust. Hence, public power advocate Homer T. Bone was enlisted to draw
up Initiative number 1, the district power
bill , encompassing "every conceivable
power which then appeared possible of
realization " in the area of publicly owned
utilities.
Traditionally, initiatives have been
grassroots movements, supported by the
common people and condemned by the
wealthy and bl)siness interests. The
District Power Bill was no exception.
Today, when certain individuals or groups
deem a particular initiative to run counter
to their best interests, they find many
avenues open to influence the process.
These include : polarizing and/or distorting the iss ue, vastly overspending their
opposition , 11th hour scare tactics, certain
extralegal maneuvers, and as a last resort ,
Though a gulf of more than 50 years
challenging the law in the courts.
separates us from the time of the first
initiati ve, many of the tactics empl oyed
by Puget Power and Light in 1930 seem
surprisingly modern . In a letter to his
associates, Webster and Stone in Boston ;
the president of Puget Power described
the campa ign carri ed ou t by the company
"in its efforts to educate the people of the
state on the vic ious nature of initiative
No. 1
" In ilddition to distributing

nearly half a million pamphlets analysing
the bill (with the "particu larly dangerous"
section in bold face type) and the rather
dubious action of placing similar enclosures in the company's electric bills,
the Puget Power trust uti I i zed near total
control of the media to distort and
dispute the initiative.
"We are advertising in 151 papers
through the territory served by the company. The ads point out the various
sections of the bill. They keep away
altogether from the question of public
ownership, the main theme running
throughout the campaign being that of
taxation .
The news stories and editorials follow
the same theme as the advertisements
and our stories are finding a ready
acceptance by the majority of the news
newspapers. The publicity of the Grange
power bill committee, on the other
hand, is running in only a comparatively few of the papers ."
Radio, another dominant medium of
the time, was also emphasized in the
comoanv's media blit7 .
"Plans are being made to get prom inent people not connected with the
company to make radio talks on the
bill. The talks being made on time
taken by this company on KOMO and
KIR."
The company even employed the. then
innovative technology of moving pictures
to their ends, and was quick to realize the
advantages of a properly educated
populace.
"The Metropolitan Sound Studios
have made a talking movie for us. This
will arrive Saturday and be shown to as
many people as possible prior to the
election. The movie tells the story of
the company's part in the development
of the country, and we all feel that it
will have a very beneficial effect not
on ly in this cam paign but as a more or
less permanent part of our educational
work. "
Also described in the letter were the
many industrial organizations and associations opposing the Bill : the lumber industry and West Coast Lumberman's
Association, in addition to. "the a<50ciated
industries, federated industries, savings
banks' aSSOCiation, the insurance companies, and many others."

With the aid of such support, Puget
Power spent the then massive sum of
$124,000 to kill the initiative. Certain less
expensive though more blatant measures
"
were also employed.
Grange activist Fred J. Chamberlain
described his personal experince in the
campaign.
" The Grange opened headquarters in
the rai lway exchange buil<;ling in Seattle,
... We were fully convinced that there
should be no delay in aggressive action.
We were also aware that we would be
subjected to all kinds of deception and
trickery, because such tactics had been
the experience of J.D. Ross . "
" We soon found that our office was
raided nearly every night; so we took all
our signed petitions and important papers
down to safety deposit boxes. Some
solicitors came in and volunteered to
circulate petitions, but took the filled
ones to the power company ... thus making them useless to us. This is only a
sample of what happened during the campaign period ."
So resolved to such tactics had the
Grangers become, that the collected
petitions, with over 60,000 signatures,
were transported from Seattle to Olympia
in three automobiles, "To guard against
accident, either from natural causes or
premeditated ones."
However, in the final analysis, violence,
media manipulation, and even vast sums
of cash proved to be of no avail to the
private power company.
A last minute leaflet distributed
throughout Seattle on the eve of the election , warning that the initiative would
result in Seattle City Light being taken
over by a district not under control of
the city, met with limited success and
though losmg by some 16,000 votes in
Seattle, the measure carried the state
152,487 to 130,901, bolstered by the overwhelming support of the rural districts.
Sustained by the state Supreme Court, the
Grangers' District Power Bill established
public utility districts, set the stage for
subsequent public hydroelectric development on the Columbia, and ushered in
the era of cheap electric power which
lasted well into the 1970's.

Pollution In Puget Sound Requires Citizen Action
by Erin Kenny

Washington residents must act now if
we expect to see any improvement in the
overall water quality of Puget Sound.
Public' action has been instrumental in
past clean-up efforts, and it is vital that
area residents mobilize soon to stop the
inevitable degradation of our waters by
irresponsible waste disposal practices.
The problem of pollution in Puget
Sound has been with us for many years.
In fact, by 1958, water quality had become so bad that several urban area
waterfronts in Washington were unsafe for
swimming and fishing. At that time,
Seattle residents mobilized to establish a
public agency, Metro, to deal with the
huge pollution problem in Lake Washington due to inadequate sewage facilities .
When the new sewer and waste treatment
facilities were operational, Seattleites
rejoiced because the water quality in their
area would soon be improving, and because they had been instrumental in
bringing about the change.
However, 25 years later, the same problem of deteriorating water quality persists,
although the main source of the pollution
has changed. Today it is not inadequate
sewage facilities which threaten Sound
health, but irresponsible industries. The
problem today is not a high fecal bacteria
count, but rather an alarming level of.
toxic chemicals in Puget Sound waters.
We must generate the same concern and
citizen action now because the seriousness of the pollution problem has not
diminished since the late 50's.
Currently the bay areas around Tacoma,
Seattle, and Everett are dying. Bottomfish
in those waters have cancerous growths,

liver diseases and other problems due to
high levels of toxic chemicals, like polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB), and heavy
metals, such as lead, copper and mercury.
The Department of Social and Health
Services (DSHS) has issued warnings
against the consumption of recreationally
caught fish from polluted urban bays and
waterways. The agency has also issued
very specific instructions on how to cook
contaminated fish. Yet, while residents are
warned that fish caught at their own
waterfront may be too poisonous to eat,
the source of this toxic chemical pollution is never seriously questioned. It's as
if the pollution were assumed, and the
state is only willing to hefp minimize the
impact it has on human health.
It is commonly stressed that commercially marketed fish from Puget Sound
are not contaminated. This is increasingly
difficult to believe, as the diseased fish
from industrial areas and pollution discharges by industry have not abated.

poisoning will not appear in deep water

consumers. In thi s way, industry would be
forced to reduce the amount of pollution
resulting from a particular method of production or accept a cut in profits.
Many times the source of pollution in
Puget Sound is concealed from area residents and only becomes public knowledge
after the fact. For instance, in 1946 the
Navy dumped thousands of gallons of
toxic acid and tons of sand containing
plutonium into the harbor around Bremerfish for several years. Already, no part of

Election Results Reveal Distressing Trends ·
by Thomas Schaaf
Once again, elections have come and
gone. As the leaves of autumn drop and
,decay, 50 too the hopes of populist
politicos. The recent elections reveal two
distressi ng trends in American pol itics
that seem to be increasing: slick, mediahype campaigning waltzes hand in hand
with severe imbalances in campaign
financing and contributions. The result is
a disinformation dazed, ad bombarded
electorate, staggering off to the polls to
face carbon copy candidates and ballot
initiatives couched in baffling legalese.
In Washington, several worthy causes
met defeat at the polls last week. Evident
in all is this pattern of lopsided campaign
expenditures and misleading campaigns.
Generally, all three state ballot initiatives
(1-412, 1-414, and 1-435) represented .
efforts by labor, citizen's, and consumer
advocacy groups; all were successfully
opposed by corporate interests. Supporters
of all three initiatives were heavily outspent by opponents who ran campaigns
that verged on being blatantly distortive.
The campaign against 1-414, the "bottle
') ill," told us that 414 would " cost us
,llenty." Apparently, Washington voters
believed the nice young couples and
friendly recyclers and grocers who gave us
this valuable information . Whenever we
purchased soft drinks or beer, colorful '
stickers told us that passage of 1-414
would raise the price by 25~-55~. However, a WashPIRG study, based on existing
deposit/refund legislation in nine states,
concluded that "beverage prices may
raise by two cents per container." The
study also predicted that passage of
1-414 would reduce the volume of beverage container litter by 77-86%. Nonetheless, opponents of the initiative convinced
voters to say " no to forced deposits, "
spending $1 million in 'the effort (compared to a paltry $150,000 raised by
supporters) .

Compared to this million dollar mark,
the roughly $300,000 raised by opponents
of Initiative 435 seems miniscule. Still, the
sum was sufficient to supply a comfortable 5-1 margin over the money raised by
1-435's supporters, mostly labor groups .
1-435 attempted to use popular discontent
over the food tax to slip a corporate
income tax through the back door; ending
the food tax in February rather than June,
and replacing lost revenues with the new
corporate profits tax. The initiative faced
a very active opposition campaign,
financed by major corporations and led
by Wes Uhlman, former mayor of Seattle.
Although State Senator Jim McDermott
(O-Seattle) labeled Uhlman's campaign as
"scare tactics," and despite a state
Department of Revenue report that
passage of 1435 could raise state revenues
by $96 million in the next biennium,
voters rejected the measure. Perhaps they
thought that by "killing 435 now," they
were "ending the food tax in June" (as it
will by law anyway).
Initiative 412 would have imposed an
artificial ceiling on retail credit interest
rates . 1-412 would probably have lost at
the polls without any organized opposition at all, due to its obscure wording
("Shall interest rates be the higher of .. . ")
and e50teric subject matter, requiring a
Ph.D. in economic theory to even begin
to understand its implications . But once
again, consumer groups supporting the
initiative were defeated by big business
in the battl e of the bucks. Sears, J.C
Penney, and the Washington Bankers
Association , among others, helped raise
over $1 million for the anti-412 campaign,
about four times the amount spent by
proponents.
Henry jackson's senate campaign was a
masterpiece of commercia l ad style image
making. Raising close to $2 million for his
campaign (his opponents, Doug Jewett
and King Lysen , raised $140,000 and
$30,000 respectively). ,jackson'S television

Internall y, we encounter sometimes
very voca l res istance, and externally
people have an image of us as a " hippie
schoo l" and wonder if they should take
our teams seri ously . All that has a strong
bearing on a problem of most fledglin g
organi zations : funding. Sin ce a significan t
amount of our fundin g comes from S&A
we are subject to the shifting poli c ies of
a body who's membership varies from
yea r to yea r My analysis is that w e should
have quite a broad base o f funding, and
that some part of that funding should
corne from students.
cpr What are you mai n goals for the
athleti c department7
Lam'bertz: O ne type of success would
be to strengthen ou r fu nding base. Curren tl y our fund-raising effort is conducted
in the sa me yea r that w e are spending the

money. That's not good practi ce. Another
kind of suc cess is gaining acceptance
within the Evergreen community. Feeling
as I do that athleti cs can be a positive
and communi ty building ac~ivity, a high
degree of acceptance for athl etics,
handled appropriately, is an important
goal.
CP) : What level of acceptance by the
Evergreen community would you consider
successful?
Lambertz : I think the larger majority of
the student body probably doesn't care
one way or another about ath letics. I
think there's a sma ll percentage of people
on both sides who care strongly whether
or not we have an athletic department.
We have 10% of the student body involved directly as athletes. I hope the
athleti c department is the tip of the
iceberg , because my underlying purpose is
to get al l the students in some way active
in some physi ca l endeavors.
cpr What single project or concept
would you like to see accomplished in
your tenure as athletic director 7
Lambertz : I want, before I leave here,
to convince people who think athletes
aren't radi ca l, or liberal or progressive,
that active, sports-minded people come in
every conceivable variety, and expand
people's minds as to what athletics can be
CP) : What new programs are in the
future of Evergreen athletic s7
Lambert z: A DTF of a number of yea rs
ago came up with a plan calling for as
many as 25 sports teams. With equal numbers of programs a diversity of needs
could be fill ed.

Festiva l held last jul y, in Bath, England .
Music and Rhythm boasts the tal ents of
Western artists such as Pete Townshend ,
Peter Gabriel , David Byrne, XTC , and the
Engl ish Beat. These names are familiar to
U', bu t all the tracks contributed by these
artists pa le in compari son to th e African
ilnd As ian contributio ns to the album.
Also appearing on the album are Westerr.
art ists w ho play the actual instruments ot
the exotic cultures that they wish to
promote. These performances also are
!nu sica l midgets compared to the songs 0
the " foreign " artists.
Side one opens with " Drums of Makebuko, Burundi ," whi ch set s an appropri at l
minimalist atmosphere. The five songs on
side one all strongly emphasize drums,
rercuss ion , and voca ls. This is more the
case on the African recordings than on
Peter Gabri el's or XTC's songs. The highli ght of the side is " Kpan Logo" by Ekom(
a group of arti sts from the W est Indies ,
now li ving in Britain, who recreate traditional Ghan ian music and dance .

The worst song on the side is by one ot
my fa vorite groups, XTC XTC somehow
contributed " It's Nea rl y Afr ica" to thi s
collect ion. Thi s song was one of the worst
on their last album, and I am mystified as
to why thev insu lt themselves by puttin g
it on more v in yl. One wonders whether
they were iu st joking, or 'w hether it's
meant as a sign of things to come. Either
way, it's pointl ess and unimpressive.
Side two has the best songs on t he
whole album . I wish they had spread
these out a littl e mo re, instead of concentratin g them all on o ne side. The English
Beat begin with a bloody butchering of
their best song, " Mirror in the Bathroom ."
Unfortunately for the listener, Saxa, the
group's 50-year-old saxophone specialist
of ska, is abl e to sabotage this jewel of a
song. Prince Nico Mbarga and the Rocaf il
jazz follow with their hit song, "Sweet
Mother." Thi s song is the best one of the
entire album . "Sweet Mother" has sold
over 13 million copies worldwide since
its release in 1976. The song seems like it
was cut from the original time of nearly
ten minutes, but no time for the song is
li sted on the album . Anyone interested in
this Nigerian master of pop should check
out Prince Ni co's Rounder Record release,
also entitled Sweet Mother.
Following Prince Nico is Mightly
Sparrow, a group from the West Indies.
Their song "Musi c and Rhythm" has a

hard time following a hit such as "Sweet
Mother," but their song is almost as good .
A nother anc ient ska sovereign appears on
side two, as Ri co and hi s trombone dance
their way across the grooves . The side
ends with Morris Pert, a native of Great
Britain , who appears to have captured
more of the essence of a parti cu lar
regio n's culture (Morocco) than most of
the other Westerners o n the album,
Sides three and four are not particularly
memorable, except for two disappointingl"
short songs, and an actually bad Pete
Townshend song. One of the short songs
is a Balinese chant known as the " Ramayana Monkey Chant." It had been incorporated into an earlier song on the album
by the Jam's producer, Vi c CoppersmithHeaven , and thankfu lly, the song appears
again without the accompanying Western
adaptation. The other song is by Nusrat
Fateh Ali Khan, and is an Islamic song.
Pete Townshend appears here with the
Who minu s Roger Daltrey, and one can't
help but wonder if Daltrey didn't appear
because he recognized how lame this
song actually was. If th is is any indication
of the direction that Pete Townshend is .
heading musically, then it is a good thing
the Who are on their last tour.
Most compilation albums serve no
actual purpose, but are just another
assault on the pocketbook of the recordbuying public by the massive corporations. Music and Rhythm is a different
and enlightening album for those familiar
or unfamiliar with music in other areas of
the world . Thi s potpourri of pop has
something. for most everybody. Hopefully,
however, t he listener will pick up on
other musica l styles that have been unfamiliar to them until now.

However, we've reevaluated that and
decided that the breadth of the sports
programs should be on the recreational
level. We should attempt to builda
tremendou s amount of di versity in our
club sports and intramurals. The kinds of
things the average person could take part
in . That kind of a program could not only
raise the general fitness level, but help
encourage a sense of community here at
Evergreen .
Specifically, when th~ gym is completed
we will have men's and women's basketball, and there has been considerab le
interest in crew, and track and field .
CP) : Is the main function of the athleti c
department to aid the " normalization" of
Lambertz : There's no question that
athletics will have some effect externally,
because to a large degree it's focused
externally. We travel off campus and we
have off campus people come here, and
the newspaper covers our activiti es, so it's
a way of projecting yourself.
Some people might argue that with half
the men's soccer team wearing hai r down
to their waist it's a way of projecting Evergreen as having a predominantly " hippie"
students . Our purpose with this program
is not so much to " normalize" Evergreen,
but to try to create a common ground
between the school and the peopl e of the
community and the state.
CP): Is the athl etic department intended
to help expand the student population 7
Lambertz : I think that some peopl e
here fea r that athleti cs will bring on a
kind of gladiator mentality that will draw
large numbers of " jocks," and those
people feel that wou ld be "anti-Evergreen."
We can avoid that here because our pro- .
grams will reflect the underl ying philosophy o f the in stitution. Many peopl e fail
to understand how diverse a group " jocks"
are.
Two important aspects of athletics are
that first: many Third World people are
deeply involved in sports; and second :
that sports is a signifi cant factor in the
femini st movement. The reawakenin g of
ou r phys icality is very important to
women. There are many athl etes who
believe in and are involved in progress ive
education . Th e program mu st take into
consideration the students who are here
now, because they are the ones who wi ll
get involved in the program, but you also
have to look ahead to meeting the need s
of students who will be here in the future.
CP): Would you like to see Evergreen
begin a program of offering ath letic
scholarships?
Lambertz: I know that I line up on the
opposite side of the fence from some
people on this issue. I believe strongly
that a person talented in athletics deserves
the same opportunity to compete for a
scholarship as a person talented in theater
or art. I do not believe that the way
scholarships are handled at other schools
is always healthy. At a large football
institution, it would not be uncommon for
a person who does not have the academi c
ability to be at that school, and to be
there on an athletic scholarship. That's
the sort of thing that would never happen
at Evergreen.
However, I would like to see us have an
athlete-scholar program . If we have an
individual in the community who would
like to donate mo ney for athletic scholarships, then we would be able to channel
that money toward people who cou ld

Soccer
The men's soccer team closed out their
season last Saturday at Western Washington U ., and they finished up on a positive.
They didn't win but played an excellent
game, and only lost 3-2 against a big
tough Western squad. A few weeks ago
here, W estern trampled the Geoducks by
about eight goals . Both Greener goals
were booted in by Don Huff, and the
game featured good team play by our
Bivalve booters .
The women have two more weeks left
in their season, and they would like to
come up with some wins to help salvage
what has been, so far, a disappointing
campaign for them . Last weekend's road
trip to Eastern Washington provided little
positive reinforcement. Only 11 players
went on the road trip, and they were
forced to play short-handed ac oupl e of
times when players were injured or shaken
up. Central and WSU were the heavi es
this time around and they treated our
women pretty rough . Central blew us out
7-2, and WSU thoroughly dominated 7-D.

Salty Greeners
Last weekend, the Ceoduck sailin g team
hosted the Evergreen Invitationa l Regatta
on O lympia's Budd inlet. Lewis and Clark ,
Western Washington, and Oregon State
entered teams.
Led by " B" fleet skipper Tom Cast's
clean sweep, the Greeners were abl e to
just squeak by Lewi s and Cl ark for the
team victory. They fini shed higher th an
Lewis and Clark in the majority of the
races . Gast, who has onl y been sp ilin g for
about a year, was joi ned in the " B" boat

sk ippered by janet Welch, and crewed
by Storm Thompson .
Western finished a distant third with
OSU not far back in fourth .
Next weekend the salty Greeners will
travel to Canada for a regatta at the
University of British Columbia.

leti c talent, but in terms of their scholarly
endeavors as well. It really depends on
how scholarships are handled. If it's done
in an extremely dignified and correct way,
scholarships, in my opinion, should be
given to athl et es. We do, though , have to
look very carefully into the pitfalls that
other schools have encountered.

CP) : How are athletes diHerent at
Evergreen?
Lambertz : Well , our athletes certain ly
are diHerent from other college athletes
in some ways. The most significant difference I've noticed is that athletes at Evergreen are just as " process oriented" as
other students here. They get very deeply
involved in trying to understand and work
with the very intense group process that
takes place in a team sport.
The difference that really has been
something of a problem is that our athletes' appearance is often quite different
from that of other teams. As a result
we've caught a certain amount of abuse
from some of these opponenets, who
think of us as a bunch of "hippies and
degenerates." I would like to see us work
on trying to maintain our individuality,
and not let other people's criticisms alter
our behavior.

Steve Pearce bounded on stage,

apparently loved it, because his first line
was: " Hey, I'm not easy, I'm a cinch I"
Pearce was the first comi c to bring an
audience member up on stage, thi s time a
woman to demonstrate a convoluted
definition of a kiss. Her boyfriend smiled ,
yet didn't seem amused. It would be easy
to imagine Pearce's farce on the Carson

keep hi s material reasonably tasteful
though, and the audience loved him .
It was just about this time that my
waitress spilled my just-delivered beer all
over my notebook, and she didn't seem
at all upset. Maybe she didn't like what I
was writing.
The next comic introduced was Carl
Warmenhoven. With dark suit and trimmed
beard he looked somewhat like a funny
version of Jerry Falwell . His insults to
parts of the audience didn't break new
records, but when he finally drew three
volunteers on-stage for an impromptu
Monday night fashion show he broke up
the house. To his cred it, Warmenhoven
was the most effective comi c involving
the audience with hi s jokes . He ended
with an absolutely mind-boggling Diary
Quiz with certain descriptive words being
filled in (naturally) by the audience.
A new drink on the table brought on
the exuberant entrance of our own Green
grad Geoff Young, masquerading, in the
spirit of Halloween , as one of Olympia's
finest (not quite pal , I meant a policeman). As he checks out the crowd for
possible drug violators, he gets orders to
go ahead and carry out a search. A volun-

teer is put with hands up against the wall ,
frisked, and a baggie of green plant substance is found . Officer Young pockets it
and tells the suspect : "Okay pal , you can
go home now." Needless to say, we loved
it.
His inventiveness was revealed in hi s
"Leave It to Beaver" sketch, in which the
Beeve f inally goes over the edge. Mr.
Young's routine had the widest variety of
subjects of any comedian we saw. Geoff
Young is new to the world of comedy, but
if our aud ience was any indication we will
hear a lot more from him.
The headliner for the evening was Gary
Larson, accompanied by Gene Oppenshaw
on acoustic guitar. Larson started out with
a bang, and kept the audience rolling
throughout his show. Highlights included
an excellent " Alka Seltzer as self defense"
routine, a duet country act "the Wilsons"
singing the praises of Idaho, and a takeoff
of Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood. Larson was
the winner of this year's International
Stand-up Comedy Competition and had
the most easily paced act of the evening.
This was Larson's last Northwest appearance before he heads to Lake Tahoe for
the National Laff-Off finals to be seen on
cable TV's Showtime!
We spoke with Geoff Young the day
after the show. He is co-producer of the
comedy series at the Imperial Pal ace and
working with Lee M ckay, was instrumental
in bringing about the series. Geoff got h1s
start in show business learning video,
scriptwriting, and theater at Evergreen,
but did not try as a professional until
moving to Seattle one and a half years
ago. When asked to compare Olympia's
crowd with that of Seattle, he replied that
he enjoyed O lympia much more as the
house was packed, the crowd well
dressed, well mixed and intelligent, and
for many it was their first stand-up
comedy show ever . So long as the NFL
stays on strike, Geoff predicts a full
house. Our favorite quote from Geoff is:
'The best joke I ever pulled was to get
my folks to pay for four years of college
and then, after graduating, I told them
that I wanted to be a stand-up comic. "
You can see Geoff opening for Franklyn

"We never ask ourselves why so many
people died, we ask ourse lves why we
survived " So speaks a buddhist monk in
the Modern Times Theatre produ ction,
"H ibaku sha, a love story frolll Hiroshima ."
Indeed, thi s statement sums up the pligh t
of the Hibakusha (pronounced Hi-bak-sha),
the Japanese term meaning explosion
affected person or people. Those who
didn't see the play Tuesday night missed a
performance that was a stunning indi ctment of Ameri ca n atrocity and Japanese
indifference, as w ell as an emotional plea
for peace.
The history of the Hibakusha is told
through a love story that begins in 1949.
Kiku and Hiroshi , two young Hibakusha,
first meet in a school where they are
taught English during the early years of
American occupation . As their lives grow
together and apart, so the story of the
Hibakusha unfolds. The years of being
ostracized, then slowly banding together,
and eventually gaining their rights to
compensation for the horrors they've been
forced to endure.
The odds are stacked against the young
couple though, for as one character points
out there is no future for two Hibakusha:
" Hibakusha must live in the past." The
point becomes frighteningly real when in
the early 1960's Hibakusha are asked to
reenact the day the bomb was dropped

The play moved along at a brisk pace
and the cast was more energetic. With .
only five actors playing 25 roles I guess
you'd have to be. The historical accuracy
and the smoothness of the way the political message was conveyed made
" Hibakusha" a play worth going to. I look
forward to seeing the Modern Times
Theatre again, with any luck they'll be
doing this show at the White House
someday.

National Lampoon .Not So Funny Anymore
by Eric Brinker

!

I·

The National Lampoon used to be a
funny magazine, the last bastion of irreverent humor in America. At one time they
could satirize anything with a keen
accuracy for the funnybone, nothing was
sacred . Their Radio Hour was one of the
funniest radio shows ever, a spawning
ground for comedians like Chevy Chase,
Michael O'Donahughe, et al . .. Lampoon
publications like the " Vassar Yearbook"
and the "Sunday Newspaper Parody"
stand as classics in the annals of satire. In
1977, they decided to try their hand at
film, which resulted in the zany, inspired
Animal House , a film that proved itself
more than worthy of bearing the Lampoon's
name.
Yet since the death of kingpin Doug
Kenney a couple of years ago, the
Lampoon seems to have gone into a
downward spiral. Kenney was the man
who wrote most of the script for Animal,
House, and for my money, the brilliant
wit that kept the magazin e funny after
most of the writers defected to " Saturday
Night Live." With the release of
National Lampoon 's Class Reunion, it
becomes all too apparent that the biting
.J
humor of Doug Kenney is sorely missed.
Ostensibly, Class Reunion is a parody of

reunion takes place at the old alma mater,
Lizzie Borden High School ("a cut above
the rest"), that was seemingly shut down
after this class graduated . A few of the
characters seems appropriate for the film,
such as the smug class president, the
eternal virgin cheerleader, and the greasy
cafeteria cook who they've asked to cater
the reunion for old-times' sake. But many
of the characters seem to be created out
of the second-rate jokes writer John
Hughes rehashes. These include two
stoner types that parrot the same tired,
burn-out humor of Cheech & Chong, a
vampire who reworks a very o ld and
crude vampire joke (the one about
vampire tea bags), and a class wallflower
who has sold her sou l to the devil , which
makes for some ridiculous exorcist-type
jokes.
Inept writing is clearly what makes this
film bottom out. In evidence of this, the
audience in the theater where I saw this
travesty never laughed in unison once,
the film cou ld do no better than a few
random chuck les. Class Reunion is definitely aimed at a teenage audience, and it's

Registrar Clarifies Changes In Residency Requirements
by Lesli Welliver and Arthur West
Due to state ru Ie changes effected last
September, residency requirements for all
state colleges and universities have been
redefined . Under the new policy, some
students may qualify where they previously did not, some who have lived in
Washington for years may not qualify,
and all those who have recently been
granted residency will find their status up
for review . Military and federal employees
will find that their occ upations no longer
entitle them to automatic residen cy.
This change in policy, dictated by the
state legi slature, adds an economic qualifier to the former rules. Previously, a student applying for residency was required
to demonstrate that they had established
a bona fide domicile, for other than educational purposes, within the state of
Washington. A domicile is interpreted as
a person's true, fixed and permanent place
of habitation, the place where they hope
to remain, and where they expect to return after leaving, without intendi ng to
establi sh a new domicile elsewhere. Now,
however, residency shall be granted only
after the applicant has satisfied both the
requirements of domicile establishment
and source of financial support, in accordance with the new regulations.
To comply with these policy changes,
anyone granted residency since fall of
1979 including all military and federal

employees, will have to reapply. Those
familiar with the old forms may find the
new applications to be somewhat more
exacting as to the information and documents requested . In the new section concern ing financial status, the prospective
resident applying as a financially independent student attests that: "I have not and
will not be claimed as an exemption for
federa l income tax purposes by any
person except myself or my spouse for the
current calend ar year and for the ca lendar
year immediately prior .
I have not
received and will not receive financial
assistance in cash. . greater than that
which would qualify me to be claimed as
an exemption for income tax purposes by
any person except myself or my
spouse .
In addition to the sworn statement, the
student is required to submit appropriate
documentation to substantiate their claim.
This may include copies of their state and
federal i ncorne tax retur~s (dollar amounts
may be blanked out). documentation concerning any non-taxable income, a copy
of their W2 form, any documentation
concern ing financial resources, and a
copy of the state and federal tax returns

Dolbeare Urges New Socio-Economic Order
by Dan Gorham
The cu rrent economic cris is, both at the
state and federal level," is not just another
ordinary turn of the business cycle," said
Evergreen faculty Ken Dolbeare. " It is a
profound transition to a different kind of
economy."
Dolbeare made these remarks last Friday in a luncheon address at the Westwater Inn . The event was sponsored by
the Evergreen College Community Organization. The topic was "Election '82: Its
Future Impacts." Dolbeare outlined a
plausible economic scenario which neither
the Democrats nor the Republicans have
adequately begun to consider.
While the recent election exhibited a
voter displeasure with the Republican
economic policies, the Democrats did not
use the opportunity to suggest any viab le
alternatives. Democratic victories, both at
the state and federal levels, can be
assessed as voter spite rather than political
ingenu ity. Dolbeare contends that the lack
of alternative economic policies can be
attributed to the fact that neither party
wants to admit the seriousness of the
economic situatio n.
"The basic: indu stries of the United
States are no longer competitive in the
world economy. The basic industries of
automobiles and steel are, in the present
situation, not able to compete even in the
United States."
To revitali ze American industry the
Republican adm ini stration instituted a
program of " reindu stri alization" designed
to modernize and upgrade the manufacturing sector. The plan called for tax
breaks to large manufacturing industries
that, in theory, would invest the money
back into the company to improve production. However, 'after two years its
success seems dubious. According to
Dolbeare: " The Reagan policies are working to release more capital into the hands
of the largest corporations . ... They are
merging, investing in the Third World,

instead of reindustrializing . We are
closing, redu cing and consolidating.
Where we are investing is elsewhere than
the Un ited States."
Dol beare's scenario for a future economy is fa( different from the American
industrial machine which we used to
know. It would require increased cap ital
investments into research and development, a new e'RPhasi s in educa tion and
job training, and'a permanent displacement of America's traditional workforce.
" The best case that we can emerge with
is a new economy based upon more high
techno logy. A new economy which will
leave behind a lot of today's blue collar
workers and that new economy means a
lot of unemployed workers. . .. The worst
case is something like the depreSSion, the
functional equivalent of the 1930's. But
nobody wants to face that prospect. Nobody in leadership positions can seriously,
publicly talk about that. But they are talking about it amongst themselves."

Diversion Clarified
~dito r

I was pl eased to see the arti cle regarding the Juvenile Diversion Program in a
recent Issue of the CPI.
As thp person re sponsible, in part, for
initiating the Diversion Program via
Thurston Youth Services Society back in
1978, and the current supervisor of the

program today, I feel that it is necessary
that I address some misinformation presented in the article.
The article states that in Thurston
County, there are nine Diversion Units or
Community Accountability Boards.
Actually, there is <?ne Diversion Unit
(Thurston Youth Services Society) which is
responsible for the operations of the nine
Community Accountability Boards.
Contained within the last paragraph of
the article is a statement that indicates
that when a youth becomes 18 yeal's old
and has fulfilled their obligation with
Diversion, their file is destroyed . Unfortunately, this is a common misconception
and is not the case at all in Washington
State . The law as it now reads is as ,
follows:
R.CW. 1350.050( 18) "A person 18 years
of age or older whose crimi nal hi story
consi,b of onl y one referral for diversion may request that the court order
the record s of the case be destroyed .
Thp reques t shall be granted if the court
finds that two years have elapsed si nce
completi on of the diversion agreement. "
You wi ll note that according to this law,
it i ~ the youth that takes the responsibility
for initi ating th e request to the court for
having hi s/ her file destroyed . It does nor
automati ca ll v occur at the magic age of
18. In fact, the law further states in
R.C W 1350.050(23(a)) that records may
be routinely destroyed at age 23 or older.
Should you with more information pertaining to Juvenile Diversion or are interested in volunteering at Thurston Youth
Services Society, please do not hesitate to
call 943-D780.

Greedy little Men

Students are, on the whole, a miserly
group. What cash they have is closely
guarded. The prospect of losing even a
mere pittance of their hardly earned
money is enough to invoke in .t hem the
righteousness of the blessed and the fury
of the damned. It is thus somewhat perplexing that a student organization exists,
spending nearly half a million doliars of
student fees annually, and only a small
minority of students understand, or are
even aware of the process by which the
money is allocated.
Sixty dollars of each fulltime student's
tuition and fees go to Services and
Activities (S&A). Last year, the S&A Board
allocated $450,000 of student money.
These funds went to the support of a
number of groups and organizations: The
college Rec Center, intramural athletics,
Ujamma, NASA, SHLAP EPIC, KAOS, CPI,
the Medieval and Friday Night Film series,
S&A Board operations, Driftwood Daycare, recreational arts, the ERC, bike shop,
chess club, ski club, . the Gay Resource
Center, as well as a host of other equally
deserving groups.
The S&A Board's entire function is to
spend these funds in the best interests of
the students. However, it is very hard to
determine peoples best interests if none
are expressed . Surveys of the student
body conducted by S&A traditionally

Editor:
Both here and in the U.S.S.R. there are
some greedy little men in pretty uniforms
who are well paid, with fringe benefits
that would make any wage earner (maybe
not the auto workers) look with envy. But
these greedy little men only get all of
their high pay and private airplanes as
long as we gullible taxpayers buy what
they are sell i ng.
What they are selling is the idea that
each nation must spend, spend, and
spend some more on military hardware.
So the Russian people must go without
bread, and our old folks must try and
work until they are 67, so that the greed
of the military leaders may be satisfied.
Years ago President Eisenhower came
out with the information that the Soviet
Union was ahead of the U.S. So, I asked
some Eu ropean military experts what they
thought about Russian technology . They
to ld me that in certai n areas the Russians
might get ahead for short periods of time,
but because the US had more money for
research than Russia, the US would
probably stay ahead in the long run .
Now here is pretty boy Reagan grabbing
on to the Eisenhower line. But he can
only squander our money because the
people sit silently by and let him do it. In
the war in Lebanon our aircraft proved
too much for the Communist aircraft. So
.now I find a picture of an F-16. It tries to
help the Communists by telling them how
to make their aircraft make fast flat turns .
I consider printing such information to be
treason. Watergate was peanuts to something like thi s.

Dear Sandy,
I have a problem with my roommates;
you see, the only music I like to listen to
is The Grateful Dead. My roommates tell
me that I listen to so much Grateful Dead
that they can't stand it anymore. They say
that they used to love the sound of The
Dead, but I've spoiled it for them. I am
told that obsession with The Grateful
Dead is a sign of proJonged adolescence.
Are my roommates right? How do I deal
with my des ire for the Dead?
Dying For Some Dead

Editor:
This addresses the many individuals
who may be considering a gift of fur to a
loved one for the coming holidays. Please
Feconsider. Think for a minute of the endless hours of agonizing torture suffered by
the animals whose bodies will compose
that unnecessary item of luxury. Whether
the garment is made with animals who
anguished long hours in leg-hold or snare
traps , or, in the case of chinchillas and
some minks, were ranch-raised in confinement only to be cruelly slaughtered later,
you can be sure they endured hideous
pain. Is a gift of fur really a gift of love?

In the next few weeks, the Board will
be determining the fate of some $50,000
in student monies in the midyear allocation process. The midyear allocations
serve a number of purposes. It is a good
time for new groups to apply for funds ,
as well as for old groups to finance unexpected plans and make up for insufficient funding. Basically, the money comes
from three sources : about half from
money generated by S&A groups, about
$17,000 from interest income on money
in banks, and $7500 from the discretionary
fund .

From December 2 throllgf": L1ecember 7,
[k)ard members and budget rf'presenta' Ives again meet one to om', to discuss
Ihe representative's budget It) light of the
lotal requests . Written question s are
,lIl swered at this time .
Finally, on December 8, tht>re is a
publi c meeting at whi ch the Board makes
' inal decisions for allocdtion s The public
, encouraged to attend thi s mf'eting to

S&A allocations coordinator Joel Barnes ,
when contacted last week , had the following comments : " Many student s are unaware of their eligibility to apply for
Service and Activity fees . The S&A Board
is designed so that anyone is eligibl e to
apply for money for any worthy group or
organizat ion. The midyear all ocation
process offers an excellent opportunity for
funding, especially to new organizations ."

School Becomes Community Center
by Dan Gorham
In coordin ation w ith thi s week's
Indigenous Peoples Ce lebrat.ion, Roberto
Maestas, spokes man for EI Cf'ntro de la
Raza , hosted EPICs Monday evening
event.
Maes tas came to Evergreen wi th a tale
of how a group of Chicanos occup ied an
abandoned building in Seattl e's south end
and transformed it into EI Cen tro de la
Ra za (Center of the People) The struggl e
began in the early 1970's when a group of
community leaders attempted to provide
the expanding Hispanic population of
King County with a community center.
The group found the empty and decaying
Beacon Hill Elementary School, and asked
the School District for permission to use it.
"While not directly rejectin~ the
request, the School District ~naged to
lose it in the bureaucratic shuffle for
several months, giving Chicanos what
amounted to an institutional manana,"
according to Maestas .
On October 11, 1972, a small group
asked to inspect the building. Once inside
they refused to leave until a lease was
signed . For four months the group oc- _
cupied the building and fought off efforts
by city, county, and state authorities
to have them removed.
" The forces that were bent on destroying it, were everything this society has at
its disposal," said Maestas. " They tried

An agreement \\
fin ally reached
wh ich gave the gr' '·.Ip a $1 a year lease on
tht> building Sill(" that time, the center
has grown to incl ude a child development
center, a food and nutrition program , a
community resta l lrant and a bilingual
childcarf' center.
Last month EI Centro de la Raza ce lebrated its 10th anniversary . Negotiations
Ife in progress with the City of Seattle to
's tabli sh a 99 year lease. This vacant
,uilding, once left for rubble has grown
[ 0 become an established and vital asset
to the Hispan ic community of Western
Washington .
In the words of Roberto Maestas : " EI
Centro became a spirit as much as place,
a nerve center for a new community.
After lifetimes on the underside of the
American dream, dignity was being reclaimed, along with a determination to do
more thim be swept along by the economi c tides which had brought Washington 's Latinos to a new home so far from
the lands of their ancestors. "

On Wednesday, December 1, in CAB
306 from 9 a.m.-5 p.m. and 7 p.m-ll p.m .,
the presentation of midyear budget
requests will occur. Budget representatives
are given five minutes to orally present
their requests to the Board, after which
the Board subjects them to five minutes
of verbal questioning, and allows iour
nlinutes for written questions to be
formulated and collected .
Some budget representatives have
described the experience as fa lling somewhere between having teeth pulled and a
friendly discussion of religiou, mores with
Cardinal Richelieu .

receive less than three percent replies .
Out of a student body of some 2500, this
year's survey drew only a paltry 39
responses.
This is a sorry state of affairs, for the
S&A Board, by design, offers an excellent
opportunity for public influence on the
allocation process, and thus on S&A
money itself. Far from being inaccessible,
the Board is actually a model of participatory democracy. Anyone with reasonable
opinions can make budget proposals, or
even become a member of the S&A Board
itself.

budget representatives have been meeting

technically the deadline for budget

there is some small degree of leeway for
those not able to meet this . If a budget is

of sufficient income to have supported
themself (if they're claiming indepen- .
dence) in the manner the record shows
they lived . I believe the $5000 figure came
from projections of the average student
expenditures, plus full-time tuition. If you
try to pin it down to an exact dollar
amount, it gets impossible.
CP}: Do you feel that this finan cial
aspect of the new requirements discriminates against the poor?
Allen : I don't think so. A poor Person
might demonstrate that they lived frugally,
without a car, and on less money than the
student who drives their Lamborghini. We
have to look at lots of things and weigh
them in order to make a fair determination. The amount of money only alters
what that person does and how they do
it, but it doesn't make it easier for the
wealthy.
If we deny applications people don't
Iike us, they feel shafted so they blame
the system .
CPI : Will the new requirements make it
possible to revoke some people's resiency standing?
Allen : Anyone who was reclassified to
residency since the fa ll of 1979 for any

Allen : Under the new state law the
issue of where their financial support
comes from is crucial. Are they free to
make their own decisions and determinations/ That's kind of the question
CP} : Do you consider the new requirements unbiased and straight forward}
Allen .· Clearly, the person who is apply·
ing believes they qualify. Then we are put
in the position of saying " no, we don't
think so, there is just not enough evidence
to make a determination." That's not easy
nor is It fun . Unfortunately, same students
come in and tell us up front, " I don't have
the money to pay the non-resident tuition ." That WdS not a consideration of the
legislature , they didn't say : "Well , make
them a resident if they don't have the
money ." The legisl ature sets policy on
other standards.
CPI : I n a state w ith one of the highest
unemployment rates in the country, do
you feel the requi rement that a student
have earn ed at least $5000 here is
rea,onabl e}
A lien · Th e idea that a student has to
have earn ed at least $5000 to gain residency is not accurate. The determining
fa ctor is, does th e student have evidence

reason will have to Jeapply . We have gone
through all the applications and identified
the students, we know who they are.
We've looked at each of the files and we
know something about whether it would
appear that they qualify under the new
rul es. If their status is uncertain, effective
next summer quarter, they will have to
have a new application filed and meet the
·new requi·rements . They can file at any
time beginning now. We would like them
to file by the end of fall quarter.
CPI: Will the state auditor be looking at
the applications/
Allen: The state auditor comes on a
two-year cycle. They come in and look at
all the applications, they go through them
with a finetooth comb. Anything that
affects the finances of a college in this
state they look at, residency is such a
thing. I understand there is an auditor on
campus now.
CPI: How are the applications
processed?
Allen: The student fi lis out the appl ication form and we go through it and make
the initial determination. If we do not
approve the application, the student th en
has the option to appeal the decision .

We wi II first of all read the appeal and
see if there is any new information that
wasn't there before, the majority of times
there is not. Then we take that appeal
form , and the application, and forward
them to the Attorney General's Office and
ask them for a recommendation . Someone
down there will look at it and write back
a recommendation. Now according to the
law of the state, if I follow the recommendation, the Attorney General's Office
will defend me if we get into a civil case.
If I say: " I don't care what they say," at
that point I become personally responsible. So the Attorney General's Office
will say that th ey recommend that I make
the decision, but I don't think I'm a fool ,
if they recommend approval I'm not going
to say no, or vice versa.
CPI: Where did the question concerning
draft registration on the form originate?
Allen: It is a state-wide form that is
used at all four-year public institutions
and community colleges. Where one
registers for the draft is an indicator of
one's domicile.
CP}: Who is that information released'
to?
Allen: The only place it would go is to
the Attorney General's Office for an
appeal. The Attorney General's Office
does not turn that information over to
anyone, they return it to us. The truth of
the matter is, if you don't register for the
draft there are other ways for them to
find out. It hasn' t come up as an issue .
CPI: What do you consider to be a suffi cient level of income for a self-supporti ng student?
Allen: I don't want to get into a def ini tion that doesn't allow for flexibility . I am
not looking at a specifi c dollar amount so
much as a range that makes sense. There
are lots of variables. I didn't make these
rules, ilnd while I don't always agree with
them, I have to enforce them as honestly
as I know how, so that I can say, " Yes I did
my work as well as I could. " When that becomes so abhorrent to me that I can't live
w ith it, then I walk away from the Job I
think thi s " I was only doing as I was
ordered" was settl ed with the Nuremberg
trial s. We sa id : " You have to act with
your conscience." Well , obviously, ri ght
now it doesn' t hurt my conscience enough
to say 'Tm going to do thaI. " That was a
dec ision, a judgment that the legislators
made. I have feelings both ways . They're

I start every show with an instrumental because there's a lot of good ones out

Children or Sister Nancy. This is followed by your typical Bad Religion/Tracey
Thorn / Void / Saccharine TrustiNeats / Factrix type of stuff, and then for a change of
pace, I'll throw in some Gladiators, Chris Moffa, Crass, Descendants and Dangerous
Birds. Then to top it all off, I use the basic Fal1, Big Boys, Red Cross and Diamanda

The appointment of Hodel as Secretary
of Energy would be in keeping with
Reagan's energy plans and Hodel's past
record. The President has wanted to
dismantle the Energy Department since
before he took office The department
grew too large, and expended too much
time and money on such trivial concerns
as conservation and solar programs under
the Carter administration , Exiting Secretary Edwards has extracted and eliminated
~7% of the department's jobs, but that
isn't enoygh for Reagan .
Nuclear power advocate Hodel has said
he shares the President's desire to completely eliminate the department. This is
consistent with the nominee's past record
on several counts . Hodel is good at getting into something, executing his job,
and getting out before the results of his
work are fully recognized .
As we mentioned earlier, Hodel got this
region started on WPPSS 4 and 5. It
wasn't until four years after his departure
from BPA that we came to fully apprecIate his legacy. As undersecretary of
interior, the long-standing Reagan booster
has played a major role in scaling bac k
the federal offi ce that controls strip
mining. It's hard to say whe n we' ll be abl e
to fully evaluate the consequences of th at
action , but "anti -achi evers" might ventl.re
a gue,s.
At any rate , it is on c E' again time fo r
Hodel to move o n to bigger and more
permanent legacy building. His c harge: to
axe hi s own position from the ca bin et.
Ii Reagan succeeds in sq ueezing Hode l
into that cabinet. he will have amassed
one of the greatest conglomerati o ns of
troglodytes in hi story (at leas t sin ce the
last ice-age) . Will the cabinet be abl e to
hold all these trogs without completel y
di sintegrating? Rest assured. Hodel will'
be in a nd out in no time at all , hi s mi ssio n completed . And. while he's the re.
Reagan will have pe rformed the
Impossible .

Fri end," Steppenwol f; " Never Been To
Spain ," Three Dog Night, and many
others ) He has described himself as being
half hippie and half redneck.
O n ou r way out to Trail s End , Ace and I
are knockin g back some Mountain Fresh
and anti cipating the ni ghts entertainment.
" Good Lordi Look at all these cars ."
All these cars indeed, a good quarter
mi le away and here is a crew o f cow boys
standing in the ro ad with red flashlights.
" Damn l If W f" have to park clear o ut
here maybe th e place is so ld out "
" Naw. there ain't that many shitki ckers
in thi s town." I'd been in th e arena
before and knew that it would hold at
least 1500 for rodeo. With chairs in the
dirt area it was bound to hold more
people th an were liable to show up on a
Tumw ater.
When we got ins ide, it was apparent
the show wouldn't be starting for a w hile.
" And I dream in the evening she brings
mp win e
" Well Ace, let's go grab a beer before
th is clam bake takes off . We don't even
have to go into the mai n bar. Th ey got
th is room U[J th ere above the grandstand
with one of these li tt le portable bars and
washtubs of iced beer." I'd been here for
rodeo and had thp place pretty we ll
figured out

Axton: Well , I always liked adventure
stories. I like old English poetry. I have
several books from the mid-1000's, and I
like the way they wrote. Ballads, sagas,
you know.

Walking up the grandstand, I had a
good look at the crowd. Lots of cowboy
hats, and a wide range of ages. In the bar
we order tequila and Rainier on the side.
" Sorry, we've had to send for more
tequila," says the bartender.
"We'll wait. "
" I saw Hoyt standing down by the
sn ack bar talkin' to some folks ."
" Yeah," replied Ace, hitting his beer,
" He's signin' autograph s on this little pad
o f preprinted greetings. There's women
lined up over there from 15 to 75."
''I'd kill for a voi ce like his ."
After a couple rounds, Hoyt comes out
and starts going thro ugh th e hits.
" lust a poor man 's daughter from Puerto
Pinasco . "
Boppin ' around diggin' the music, I run
in to one of the show's promoters and tell
him I want to interview Axton. Sounds
like it will work out.
" By the way ," says the promoter, "after
the show w e'd like t o get some pi ctures of
him with Mi ss Rodeo Washington."
"Sure, no probl em ."
M eanwhile, the band has come back
from break and belt out more Hoyt hits.
It's a slick, profess ional show, but doesn 't
have th e edge that I've hearrl at other
Hoyt shows . It's all old materi al.
" She's the rme of the desert, in o ld
Mexico
The show ends and I see my fri end Ace
heading for the bar with a lady They
seem deep in conversati o n. It's time for
me 10 take some pictures

One of the

easiest parts
of becoming 18.
11 you're about to tum 18, irs time
to register with Selective Service.
Registration doesn't mean you're
going to be drafted. It doesn't
mean you have to give up any
rights to deferments. Registration
Just gives Selective Service a list
of names our country can draw
lrom if there's ever a national
emergency.
Here's how to register. W ithin a
month of your 18th birthday, go
down to the nearest U.s. Post 011ice.
Pick up the simple registration
form and fill It out Then hand It to the postal clerk. Thafs all there
IS to It It only takes five minutes.

Its quick. Its easy. And its the law.

" Hoyt, you stand there." God, my ego
is as big as a house. Think of it, a country
boy like me takin' pictures of The Hoyt
Axton, balladier, rogue, poet.
As I squelched my hero worship and
teqUila , Axton and I went into the dressing room and conducted the following
intervi ew .
CPI : What's your favorite part of the
country to play?
Axton: I like it west of the Mississippi,
but I like the Wild West best. Colorado,
Montana, Washington, Idaho, Wyoming,
Oregon, New Mexico, Arizona . I like Texas
and Oklahoma. But I haven't been back
to New York City for seven years . I got
a c all last year to see if I wanted to play
Carnegie Hall. I said I'd be glad to if you
want to move it out of New York city. I
didn' t lose anything there, there's no
sense in goin' there lookin' for it.
CPI : What musi c is important to youl
Axton : Fairly eclecti c in the input.
Everythin g but opera and progressive jazz.
And I enjoyed, you know, music from
other countries, but I was always fru strated because I didn't understand the
word s, and I'm into words. And you know
Hank Willi ams w as the all time, fifti es on
coun try songwriter and composer in my "
book. I think Merl e Haggard is the bes t
today Yo u know w hat I mean, he personi fi es the spirit of cou ntry music. I always
felt t hat Chuck Berry w as the grea tes t
rhy thm and blues songwriter I always
thought the greatest class ical composer
was Johann Sebasti an Bach. I always liked
Woody Guthrie's lyri cs, because ·of the
compassio n he had for everyone, you
know, for life and hi s fellow man.
CPI : In a time when there are so man y
" singer/ songwriters," I've always thought of
you as being o ne o f the most literate
and Axton : Well that's not my fault Duane,
my mama was an En glish teacher. I
couldn 't use a double negative until I
left home.
CPI' What do you read?

"Lone Star," a one-act comedy about a Vietnam
veteran 's experiences when he returns to his
small home town after the war, opens Wednesday, November 17 for a four-night run In the
Experimental Theatre of the Communications
Building at The Evergreen State College. Advance
tickes to "Lone Star," which Is best suited for
mature audiences , are on sale now at Venney's
Music In West Olympia, and at the College bookstore. Ticket s are $3 general admission, $2 for
seniors/students. Reservations can be made by
calling 866-6070 weekdays.

CPI : What Ameri can writers do you
admire?
Axton: Kurt Vonnegut Jr. I always loved
S.J. Pearlman, the thinking man's Thurber.
He never got the broad acceptance that .
he deserved. What command of the
language, I don't think anybody has ever
I ived who had a better command of the
language than S.J. Pearlman . When I was
growing up, Jack London. That's what I
wanted to do, be a writer like Jack
London. So I took off .right after I turned
18 and I was going to go and experience
all these great adventures, then write
short stories. But I started writin' songs
when I was 15, and I never reallv thought
about becoming a Singer/ songwriter, you
know . It was just something fun to do.

In the late 70's it seemed the western
movie had di ed a qu iet death . There were
a few attempts at revivin g it, most notabl y
The Missouri Breaks (1979) with Jack
Nicho lson and Marlon Brando, and last
year's multi -million dollar fi asco Heaven's
Ga te, whi ch was the fin al nail in the
coffin as far as the publi c was concerned. But leave it to the Australian s.
whose nati onal cinemas have become a
beacon for criti cs and moviegoers alike,
to revi ve an otherwise dead horse.

The Man From Snowy River could indeed mark a renaissance for the western
film, showin g Ameri can f ilmmakers that a
simpl e story can be equall y , if not more,
effec ti ve than a sprawling epi c. The film
tell s the tale of a young man's comin g of
age, and all the probl ems and obstacles
he must face along the way. It is hardl y
great food for thought, yet the story's
charming unpretentiousness, combined
with captivating c inematography, make
thi s a film worth seeing.
Shot entirely in ce ntral Australi a, The

Ma n From Snowy River seems acutely
aware of its role in the America n film
tradi tion, though not awkwardl y so. The
presence of actor Kirk Douglas makes thi s
obvious connectio n all the more apparent
With the exception of a shootout, The
Man From Snowy River has everythin g
you could want from a western ; sleazy
but comi ca l v illians, a bunkhouse brawl,
d dose of romance, pl enty of horses and
superb scenic shots.
Tom Burlinson does. a wonderful jo b
portray ing the yo ung innocent, Jim Craig.

Santana's Music Carries Spiritual Message
b y Steve Kistler
Former Devadip Carlos Santana, the
guitari st who made latin rock popular, has
come back to Chri st . Discounting th e
move toward the less spicy, more accessible sound found on the most recent
albums, Santana's present lineup did a
phenomenal job Saturday night supporting a man who remains one of rock's
premier guitarists. The material was
primarily drawn from his earlier albums,
and despite the somewhat raucous effect
of reserved seating, the latin rhythms
soon had the better part of the audi ence
on their feet , cl apping and dancin g.
The st age was framed by batik banners
of what appeared to be South Ameri can
Indian art. Santana opened the show with
a sampl e of their new style .- the song
featured the poli shed vocal s of rht hym
guitari st Alexander J Li gertwood (the
most recent addi t ion to the eight-p iece
ensembl e). and showcased a duet between Carl os Santana and drummer
.Graham Lear. They moved on to a string
of o ld favo ri tes : " Well Alri ght," " Black
Magic Woman," and "Oye Como Va."
The new material ranged from Motown
influenced to near heavy metal, but the
best response consistently rose to the
older material. Their in terpretati on of the
Zombi e's hi t " She's Not There" prod uced
an inspi red gui tar solo, and an extended
instrumental jam w hich cl imaxed w ith the
theme from the War song, "The World Is
·6 Ghetto ." Thi s was the highli ght of the

Movie Review

CPI : What is the worst aspect of
touring?
Axton : The only, to me the only bad
aspect of fouring is gettin' a little tired
sometimes and not being able to put out
as much energy on stage as you'd like to.
That kinda happened tonight, we're pretty
beat. We've been traveling for 24 hours.

CPI : What is the best aspect of touring?
Axton : Well, when it's right, there are
two aspects , one is on stage. Two best
aspects. O kay. O ne is on stage, when it's
ri ght and you're having a good time, when
you're do ing a song and it's harmonious
and in tune , and it sounds good and fee'ls
good and the audience responds And the
other best time is when your hangin' out
on the bus, ro llin' down t he road and
everybody's had a couple of beers, and
w.e're play in' guitars and fiddl es and
makin ' musi c. I've heard a lot of peopl e
say the road's a kill er, and it's terribl e,
and it's rough and all that stuff Well , it
has been rough before, there have been
times when it wasn't ri ght, but for t he last
five or six years it's been gettin' bett er
and better. M o re and more fun . And
when you're having a good time it's not
that rou gh. So I have to assume that th e
peopl e who are bitching and moaning and
compl aining are not having a good t ime.
We are having a good time. I have a good
group of peopl e, they work hard and they
all know wh at they're doing and they do
it right.

Everyone in the band was given an opportunity to solo. A conga solo by longstanding member Armando Peraza, whi c h
segued into a temple-block introduction
for " Jugando, " was parti cularly effective.
Keyboard player Richard Baker had access
to an array of synthesizers and a Yamaha
Electri c Grand, but his best work came
from the old Hammond B-3, whi ch probably rates as the most compatibl e keyboard in conjunction with electri c guitars.
Carlos and hi s percussion army left the
stage whil e the drummer accompanied
bass pl ayer David Margen on a fl amenco
style solo with t he addition o f an oct ave
doubler. Thi s preceded a furiou s drum
solo by Lear, w ith Carl os lending a hand
on the ki t as the band took the stage
once again .
The second set o f songs concluded w ith
Santana's latest entry on the Bill board
charts, "Winning," again featuring the
smooth (almost to the point of lack ing
in terest) voca ls of Al exander Li gertwood .
Santana's bid fo r a younger audience
appears to be workin g.
At thi s po int Carlos took the mi crophone to elaborate on the in spi ration
behi nd hi s music:
"After nine yea rs of a Hindu education,
I have come back to reali ze that my
savior is Jesus Chri st .. . I'm not saying you
should run to the nearest. .. we still have
the greatest admi ration and respect for
al l other philosophies .. . There have been
a lot of accusati o ns lately, for instance in
sports, particularl y football ... they say
it's coca ine ... There has also been alot of
publi city saying Carlos Santana and

va rious other bands work for Satan
well, it's not true."
He continued with words to the effect
that he was not in favor of devoting one's
who le life to religion, beca use" . there
are much better things we can be doing
with our energy and our time."
Santana foll owed thi s with a sparkling
renditio n of the lyrica l instrumental ," Europa," in whi ch he paid special attention to the portrait o f Christ on hi s ampli fier The finale invol ved everyone o n
stage up front chanting in Spani sh and
playing percuss ion as a banner depi cting
the cover of the new Shango album unfurl ed behind them , styli zed figures o f a
woman followed by a man, a fl ower, and
a crescent moon. With a cras h of thunder
the band left the st age.

He is so comfortab le with the role that
you can't help but be concern ed about
Cra ig'S pl ight. If thi s fi lm does herald the
return o f the w es tern , Bur lin son could
wel l be one of its premiere sta rs. Likewi se.
,)igrid Thornton tu rn s in a good performdIKe as the feisty Jessica, whom j im Craig
eventuall y f all s in love wi th. Oddly, i t is
wes tern veteran Kirk Douglas, who plays
two rol es here, that makes for the film's
more awkward scenes. He does we ll plavin g a spry, hermi t-like miner named Spur,
but as Jessica's father, the unrelent ing
cattl eman Tom Harrison, he ju st seemed
to be going through the mot ions. The
scenes that contain both of hi s characters
at th e sa me time are the fi lm's weakest
moments. But th is is onl y a minor flaw,
and compared with all the thin gs that do
work, it's barely worth mentioning.
M ore words could never desc ribe how
well photographed The Man From Snowy ·
Ri ver is. A mi xed bag of techni ques , t imelapse, slow mo tion , stop action, are
smoothly amalgamated to make th is an
intriguing and spectacu lar film to watch.
The shots of the " brombi es," a menaCing
herd of wild horses whose subsequent
capture cements Jim Craig's passage in to
manhood, ri va ls any acti on footage I've
ever seen in a western . The deftn ess and
ca re given to the cinematograph y is a
trademark of Australi an films, and it cou Id
be argued it is respo nsible for their increas ing success at the box offi ce. Th e
Australi ans are slowly taki ng over Ameri can audiences, one ca n onl y hope Hollywood will ri se to the challenge. The Man
From Snowy River is current ly pl aY in g at
the Lacey Cinema .
