The third guest or the President's
Symposium, Stewart Udall, visited The
Evergreen State College on Wednesday
and Thursday of last week. His visit
included dinner with the Presidents Club,
meetings with students and community
leaders, as well as a visit to the Evergreen
beach, an evening lecture, and a trip to
thf' Nisqually Delta.:.
Mr. Udall began his professional career
as a lawyer after serving in W .W . II. He
was elected in 1954 to the House of Representatives for the state of Arizona. He
'stayed for two term s. In 1961, after giving
support for John F. Kennedy's election , he
was given the position of the Secretary of
the I nterior. After President Kennedy's
assasination, he continued as Secretary
' mder Lyndon Johnson until 1969.
During his tenure as Secretary, Udall
established a policy ot land acquisition,
2.4 million acres of land were made .into
national parks. This included six new
national seashores, four national parks,
the first national trail, and the first
national system of wild and scenic rivers .
" A legacy no one can touch ," said the
New Republic magazine. He has been
called the greatest Secretary ever to hold
that office. Udall also helped to create
pol icies to protect water resources and to
protect mines and miners. The Water
Quality Act of 1965 and The Federal Coal
Mine Safety and Health Act of 1968 were
both formed by Udall. He also helped
create a National Water Commi ss ion and
a Commi ssion to Make Coal Mining Safe.
Mr. Udall has returned to being a lawyer
for environmental causes. He mainly represents victims of radioactivity and coal
mining.
" Requiem for the Atomic Age" was the
title of the lecture presented Thursday
night. Mr. Udall was introduced by
college President Dan Evans who was
~overnor of Washin gton while Udall was
;ecretary .
Secretary . President Evans said he considered Mr. Udall " a great friend" and
warmly welcomed him to the Evergreen
Symposium. The lecture presented a very
interesting and insightful journey through
th e birth and devel opment of the atomi c
age. Mr. Udall gave the perspec tive of
someone w ho was .very cl ose to manv of
the events and influences th at formed the
headstrong d evelopment of nuclear power
.-Ind the subsequent weapons proliferati on
The dropping of atomi c wea pons on
Hiroshima and Nagasaki was an overwhelmin g event that immedi ately affec ted
dnd will continue to shape the world's
hi story . "Peopl e were left in a state of
dwe," remembers Mr. Udall. Ameri ca ns
were led to beli eve incredible stori es and
statements about the potential for new
programs, " Atoms for Peace."
Then President Truman stated, " These
new types of explosives
represented the
di scovery of the basic source of energy of
No one qups tioned these stdtements

" O PEC rea red its head." stated Udall. Mr .
Udall al so noted the United States' auto
industries failure to react quickly to the
message sent by the oil cartel. " W e were
slow to move because of the technological optimi sm of thi s age," Mr. Udall feels.

Draft Resister Blasts Selective Service Registration
by David Gaff
Ben Sasway, the first man indi cted for
failure to register for the draft sin ce the
Vi etnam W ar w as at TESC last Monday,
April 18 at noon for a lec ture co-sponsored
by EPIC and NOCARD. I had the opportunity to intervi ew him fo ll owin g the
lecture. During both the lecture and t he
intervi ew , _Sasway proved to be an arti culate and confid ent speaker What foll ows
are port ions from that intervi ew.
e p) Wh at do you think about bein g
the first one indi cted? It seems like it
would be a very lonely experi ence.
John Kirsting
Sasway is 21 and a po litical sc ience
\
~.
major at Ca liforni a'S Humboldt State
Uni verSity . His tri al was held , and hi s
fam il y li ves in San Di ego. O n June 30,
1982, Sasway was ind icted for refu sing
draft registrat ion. I n August, he was convicted after 2 1/ 2 days of tr ial and 15
minutes of deliberation by hi s JUry . Aft er
spend in g 40 days III jail he was se ntenced
to 30 month s in a federal work ca mp. The
judge would not release him during the
sentenci ng period because he considered
Sasway to be a fli ght ri sk and a danger to
the communi ty. The decision is now being
appealed and Sasway is released on bail.
Ori gin ally, a gag order kept Sasway from
speakin g with the media or from making
publi c appearances . The Appellate Court
struck that order down and we are able to
present thi s intervi ew .

Sasway : No, it's no t. I've had a tremendous amount o f support . There have
been a lot of peop le w ho have supported
my pos iti on. I was expecting a pretty
lonely tri p. You know, somebody's got to
be first. That's sort of the way I look at it,
and it seems k ind o f tri te bu t if it was n't
me it would have been somebody else.
I'm sure it wou ld have bee n somebody
else. If I ca n go t hrough and handle it , it
mi ght be easier, it mi ght be harder for t he
f irst. If I can go through and su rvive it ,
then someone else won' t have to .

for failure to do so, do you think you
chall enged the government to indi ct you
when it was unprepared ?
Sasway : I don't think I caught them
unaware at all. Of course they always
'<new that t hey would have a heck of a
time getting acti ve and enforcin g the program anyway; getting ' out there finding
people, throwing them in jail , and all that.
I think they knew that they were going to
have resistance . I don't kn ow that they
knew they were going to have so much
res istan ce, half a millio n or a million
people. Compliance in some pl aces in t he
state of Ca li forni a is less than one half the
[X'ople are registerin g now. J thin k that

to go ahead with getting pub li c re<; l<;ters
because the fi gures we re so bad , and
because i t would take so long to get the
active enforcement program on line.
There are documenb that we were able to

about se lective prosecution a long ti me
ago. They sa id t hat we are goin g to have
some th orn y selel tive prosecutio n problems and we rea li ze that, but we ca n't get
the active enforcement program on line
until '83 at the earliest. By that time we' re
going to have milli ons and milli ons o f
people who haven't registered for the

through the select ive prosecution tri p.

Can Consensus, Communication Be Found For Rape Policyl
by Sanna Sorensen
Rape Awareness Week begins Monday,
April 25. In promoting Rape Awareness
Week this year, Thurston County's Safeplace (Rape Relief/Women's Shelter
Services) is using the theme, "Working
Together Against Sexual Assault." Such a
theme acknowledges the need for all of
us to work together for the anti-rape/
sexual assau lt movement, and recognizes
that every individual has something to
contribute to the movement.
When I began to write an article on
rape, I discussed the subject. with many
different people. During my contacts with
TESC Campus Security and the Thurston
County Sheriff's Office, and in my conversations wi th friends about rape and
assault, I was struck by a real lack of
consensus about what rape is. While
everyone I spoke with viewed rape as a
seriou s, violent crime, almost every
person had a di.fferent perception about
what really constitutes rape.
For an anti-rape movement to be effective, we- need some common definitions.
We need greater communication, and
more education. And we need compatible
methods of reporting and statisticskeeping among our various law enforcement agencies.
During one of my conversations with
Acting Chief of Security Cary Russell, he
referred to one parti cu lar on-campus rape
as "one of those manipulative situations."
Probably most of us can imagine a
particular situation that we would be
more willing to label as a "manipulative
situation" than a rape. Under which
circumstances! In marriage? One Washington State Senator recently appeared on
television in opposition to spousal rape
legislation (which is passing). Arguing
against giving married women the right to
file charges against a husband for rape, he
proclaimed that when women get married,
they "give up certain rights. In return ,
.thev receive guaranteed financial security.
Now, I think that's a pretty good tradeoff ." Do we consider a prior intimate •
relationship, or a friendship, with an
attacker to make the situation a manipulative one, as opposed to a rapel Reaching an agreement on questions like this is
important because at least 70% of rape
victims know the rapist, according to the
U.S. Dept. of justice. Or, do we consider
all rapes manipulative?
Campus Security's recommendation to
women who are raped or assaulted on
campus, according to Acting Chief Cary
Russell , is to report the incident and
proceed through the criminal process. In
cases of improper behavior (i. e., " improper advances" ), women are counselled
to proceed through the campus ad judi cation process, which enforces the Social
Contract (printed in the back of TESC
catalogs). However, Campus Adjudicator
Richard jones admits to being " put in a
bind when criminal charges aren't filed "
when he is asked to determine whether a
ser ious cr ime has occurred, or when there
is a lack of evidence and he is unable to
take disciplinary action.
How safe is our campus! It has been
very difficult for me to estimate. When I
asked Sergeant Wally Potter of Security
about reported rapes and sexual assaults
on campus, he told me that the last
reported rape was prior to his joining
Security staff in early 1979, and that the
last reported attempted rape was in
summer of 1980. Later I spoke with a
woman who told me she had made a
report of a sexual assault a few months
ago. I spoke with Gary Russell, the person
whom this woman contacted and was
under the impression she made a report
to When I asked Russell why her report
was not included in campus statistics,
Russell said, " I don't think a report was
made on that."
This was the beginning of some frustrating communication between Russell
When I contacted the Thurston County
Sheriff's Office for information on their
reporting methods, Deputy Paul Ingram,
an administrator for the sheriff, replied
that agency requires o~ l y a written statement by the victim of a rape A rf'port is
then writte'1 , filed , and logged as a
stati stic. A hospital exa mination is strongly
suggested but not mandatory Wh en I
,1sked whether the Sheriff's Office. the
Olympi a Poli ce Dept., and
Campus
Security should use compatibl e reporting
methods, Deputy Ingram's respon se was
" I think we do."
I discussed the differences in reportmaking and keeping statistics with
Campus Adjudicator Richard l ones, and
hi s reaction was that these agencies
"cou ldn't and shou ldn't" use the same
methods in reporting statistics, since they
serve different functions as law-€nforcement agencies . However, he doubted that
Security cou ld require a hospital examination to consider a rape report a " report."
When I contacted Russell again to go
over the criteria for reports that he had
given me earlier (although he had confirmed the criteria twice for me in the
earlier conversation), his response was
that I had mi su nderstood him, and that
none of the three criteria were required to
consider something a report. He then
gave me this definition of what he con-
nsc
sid'ered a report "Any verbal or written
statement that we're free to put in our
regular files and that hopefully we can
take some dec isive action on" or that will
give supporting information to another
case . Also, the incident being reported
must be "classifiable."
Russell had previously told me that
women have approached him " maybe half
a dozen times" in the last ten yeilrs to
talk about rape or assault on campus. He
had told me that these he understood to
be "talking on a personal basis," sometimes when "all she wants to do really is
just talk about it. " When I asked why
these were not considered "verbal statements ," he sa id these were not reports
because " they didn 't want (them) to be."
After several contacts, Security's
po li c ies and procedures in thi s area st il l
,cem very unclear . Russell sees Security 's
ommitment as being one to make Fver.~ ree n "a sa fe and tranquil envi ron ment"
lor studpnt s and employees, and I have
' 10 reason to doubt that commi tmen t .

Dear CPj Editors:
Here is a typed copy of the letter I sent
off to Pacific Northwest Bell :
To: Paci fi c N/W Bell
RE : U .S. War Tax
I can no longer, in good faith, pay the
3% U .S. War Tax that is included in my
monthly telephone bill . This money goes
to build such armaments as nuclear warheads. just last month the Nuclear War
train passed through many neighboring
cities in my state. My conscience will no
longer permit me to payout money for
such madness as the 100 or more nuclear
warheads the War Train was carrying
(March 18-22. from Texas to Bllngor,
Wash.).
I shall be donating thi s war tax money I
am withholding to the Olympia Food
Bank . We need Bread not Bombs!
It certainly would be incredible if there
was a " food tax" tacked onto our telephone bill S instead of a war tax . Then we
could begin to feed the hungry and
malnourished Americans .

Tax Resistance
by T./. Lose,'
Conscientious military tax resisters are
not tax evaders. They are willing to pay
their full share of taxes and are seeking
ways to do alternative service with their
money . Peace, education and nonviolent
international conflict resolution, are three
ways in which they would rather see their
tax dollars spent.
Although the U.S constitution guarantees freedom of religion and conscience,
the Internal Revenue Service code of 1954
as amended and administered denies
those rights to conscientious military tax
objectors who cannot support war and the
military establishment with their federal
income taxes.
vides a legal alternative to those morally
opposed to the use of their tax dollars for
military purposes. Under the provi sions of
this bill , conscientious military tax
objectors would pay their full share of
taxes for non-military needs . Currently,
46% of each federal income tax dollar
goes toward military use.
Signatures are being sought on a conscience and military tax resolution,
available at the CPJ office, to help focus
Congressional attention on the passage of
the World Peace Tax Fund Bill.
As a conscience and military tax resollution signer, you will receive regular
reports of the progress of the campaign,
which was organized in November, 1979
by individuals who had much experience

page 6 The Coop8f Point Joumal April 21, 1983
Three years after World War II writer
George Orwell published the novel 1984.
In a world weary of war, and basking in
the bright li ~ ht of new-found affluence,
Orwell brought his readers to their knees
with prophecies of a future filled with
perpetual war, social and economi c
collapse, technological surveillance,
psychological manipulation and language
stripped of meaning and reality . This
fictional work depicted totalitarianism
with such realism that its title and
prophetic vision created its own myth.
We find ourselves on the very threshold
of 1984. The time has come when the
horrors of Orwell's novel and the complementary terrors of Aldous Huxley's BRAVE
NEW WORLD will either be easily recogni zable of will have failed to materialize.
In the 1983-84 academic year, Evergreen
will embark on a new venture to explore
the present, speculate on the future, and
draw a comparison with the projections
made by Orwell, Huxley, and the Russian
writer Evgeny Zamiatin, who inspired
them both . How close have we really
come to fulfilling their prophecies? Have
we been able to circumvent some of the
terrors described in their worksl Are there
dangers even worse, which they overlookedl And in a world intent on blowing
itself into oblivion, what can we, as
individual s, do to avoid this catastrophe l
Students interested in the '83-'84 Dr~
gram are encouraged to assist in planning
the program . The program requirements
have been modified to two years of
college, or one year of coordinated study
At a time when seemingly uncontrollable forces like the economy are hurting
communities and dwindleing their
resources, Evergreen's new Center for
Community Development projects a ray
of hope. Formed in February by a grant
from the Partnership for Rural Development, the Center is laying the groundwork
for students, faculty and community
people to work together to solve community problems
Community development consists of
working with a community, helping them
assess their needs and goals, then developing a strategy in agreement with them
to achieve those goals. An example of
community development might be " helping a town decide how to diversify their
economy, says Martina Guilfoil, project
assistant of the Center, which is located
in Lab II 3264.
"The average community doesn't have
the resources and money to explore
solutions to their problems," explains Ms.
Guilfoil. She continues, "Evergreen has a
resource of faculty and students that
should be used ."
A community development project that
the Center and other use as a success
story" is the North Bonneville project,
says Guilfoil. In the early 1970's, the Army

at Evergreen. An important factor of the
program is the fact that it is preparatory
for further studies, careers, and/or graduate study in social and natural Sciences,
management of technology, public administrati0J] , politics, business, law, and
education . Further information may be
found in the '83-'84 Evergreen Catalog,
pages 30-31 outlining participating pragrams, prerequisites and credit hours .
I
The 1984 PROJECT consists of three
major areas. First, participating programs
wi II read the three books chosen J.5 key
themes for the 1984 Project. There will be
a campus-wide seminar once each quarter.
Second, there will be an organization of a
year-long film and drama series related to
the futllfe and themes of social organization, which typify 1984, BRAVE NEW
WORLD, and WE . Cufmination of the
project will occur Spring Quarter in a
festival which will feature panels, pragrams, and dramatic events. During this
academic year it is hoped that leading
luminaries may be secured as panelists
and participants.
The major purpose of the 1984 PROJECT
is to build a feeling of cQmmunity, not
only within the co llege, but also in the
larger society in which Evergreen is an
important contributor. It is through this
communal joining-together that isolation,
fear, and powerlessness - the totalitarianisms -described with painfully accurate
foresight by Orwell, Huxley, and Zamiatin,
may be better understood or overcome. .
An interdiscplina,y program directly
concerned with the themes of these three
writers evolved out of an Evergreen

Corps of Engineers announced that North
Bonneville was to be the site for a powerhouse, and that the town would have to
move. The townspeople requested help
from Evergreen in finding a solution to
being displaced by the dam. Evergreen
students worked with the town against
opposition from the corps, demanding
that the corps be legally and financially
responsible for relocating the town. With
the help of Evergreen faculty Russ Fox,
and students, North Bonneville successfully fought the Corps, worked together to
plan their community and realized they
had control over decisions affecting their
lives .
According to Ms. Guilfoil, the Center
wi II serve several functions. It is slated as
a repository for in.formation on community development and as a support base
for students and faculty working on
projects. The Center will offer training to
students and faculty to help them feel
comfortable in working with communities
and developing strategies together. Also,
Guilfoil hopes to develop a network of
community leaders, because "establishing
networks gives entry into a community
and helps the students and faculty find its
needs."
Another function of the Center
will be to link communities that call the
college with academic programs that can
help them.
continued on page 7
For a school that prides itself on
political activism, there is very little
student participation in governance here
at TESC. The idealistic language in the
cex:; document notwithstanding, students
are largely unaware and apathetic in
regard to the manner that decisions are
made. One visible example of this is
evi<;lent in the meetings of th~ TESC
Board of Trustees. While not a meeting
passes without some decisions being
made that will Personally affect every
member of the community, the open
meetings are sparsely attended by the
students.
As the official policy decision-making
body of then Evergreen State College, the
board is charged with a wide range of
powers and duties. Appointed by the
governor with approval of the senate, the
board is vested with "full control of the
state college and its property of various
kinds," having the power to "adopt bylaws
for its government and the government of
the school ." and to prescribe the duties
of its officers, committees, and employees .
The board is also responsible for establishing and maintaining the direction,
structure, finances, and facilities of the
institution. The board, with the assistance
of the faculty, prescribes the course of
study in the various schools and departments of TESC.
Further powers include establishing
such divisions, schools and departments
necessary to carry out the purposes of the
college, establishment and construction of
new facilities, acquisition of property,
ability to contract, and the establishment of self-supporting facilities. In short
the board may "enter into contracts,
promulgate such rules and regulations and
perform all other acts not forbidden by
law as the board may in its discretion
deem necessary or appropriate for the
administration of the college.
The board appoints and has the
power to discharge the president of the
college, who has general supervision of
the college and sees that all the laws and
rules of the board are observed. Though
required to meet only twice a year, board
meetings are scheduled every month.
Special or emergency meetings may be
called by the chair or a majority of the
board . Three board members constitute a
quorum for all business transactions. A
board meeting has three main phases, the
Presidents report, action items, and policy
discussion .
I n the first of the action sessions,
Patrick J. Hill was officially confirmed as
vice president and provost, effective
June 1, 1983, at an annual salary of
$54,720.
Director of Auxiliary Services Ken
Jacobs discussed the factors leading to
the proposed 7% increase in housing
rates (rising overhead, energy and staff
costs) and noted that following the distribution of a newsletter on the subject
,March 7, not one single student had

the Board to ratify a twa-year contract

parties. A motion ot question was carried
concerning the requirement of both
parties consent prior to renegotiation .

come to speak with him on the matter.
Motion passed .
In the report phase, accounts of various
matters relating to the institution are
presented : cultural, legislative, construction and statistics dealing with the
business of running a college.
In the action mode, motions are
forwarded and voted upon, and generally
a decision is made . In the policy discussions
phase, matters of policy are considered,
often to be action items in subsequent
board meetings .
At the meeting on April 14, enrollment,
ddmi ss ions, construction financing and
the alumni association were the subjects
of the Presidents report Registrar Walker
Allen presented the preliminary tenth day
of enrollment figures for spring quarter
1983, noting that as of April 12, there
were 2091 fulltime students enrolled and
264 part time, and that the average fulltime equivalencies for 1983 was 2260.
President Evans discussed admission
statistics, pointing out that in contrast to
other Washington state schools, TESCs
application rate increased over that of last
year. Vice President of Business Richard
Schwartz gave a synopsis of financing
methods for the proposed gymnasium,
and the legislation bearing directly upon
it Finally, Pat Seaton spoke concerning
the goals and objectives of a group representing over 5,000 Evergreen graduates,
the Evergreen Alumni Association.
In the third action item, an adjustment
to the summer school tuition and fees
schedule was approved. Since the
Governor's recommended 1983-85 budget
had provided state funds for 1983 and
1984 summer school, the board had in
their February meeting approved a fee
structure eliminating out-<>f-state tuition
for these programs . However since
neither the House or Senate budget
proposals provide such funds, the
board approved a fee structure sufficient
to support the antiCipated $232,000 cost
of summer school. Thus, barring further
legislative changes, summer school tuition
will be set at $339 (undergraduate) and
$440 (graduate) for residents, and $1070
and $1294, respectively for out-<>f-state
students. Southeast Asian vets wi II pay
$153 for the same 10 or more credits.
The campus master plan, indemnification policy, and the employees union
contract were the subjects of policy
discussion.
Architect Jon Collier gave a history of
the campus development master plan and
recommended the 1983 version for the
board's approval. Rita Cooper discussed
the specifics of uniform indemnification
policy for individuals acting in good faith
in their capacity as employees or representatives of the school.

Addresses
Closure Issue
Members of the Evergreen Community,
I am su re by now that each of you is aware that once again a proposal has been
made in the Legislature to close The Evergreen State College I hope the following
information will add to your understanding of the issues and actions of the past
several days.
Last week Senator McDermott was quoted in the Seattle Times as saying several
members of the Democratic Caucus were urging closing Evergren as a budget saving
initiative . Legislative sources did not express concern over this comment as it was
not see n as a serious problem. By Monday it became apparent that the TESC closure
proposal was becoming serious. We now know that over the weekend, behind the
closed doors of the Democrati c Caucus meeting, Senator Brad Owen proposed that
Evergreen be funded for on ly one year. Thirteen senators joined in the proposal ,
making a ca ucus majority.
Several arguments have been raised in the last several days as Justification for
closure . Prin cipally the movement was considered a cost-savings initi ative. Much
has been sa id about Evergreen 's higher cost per student. This is a fact Evergreen has
never disputed . What is not generally understood is that Evergreen's instructional
cos ts are not difierent from any other sc hoo l in the state. It is in the area of support
cos ts (utilities , maintenance, administration, etc) that we experience a higher than
average cost per studt'r,t figure. This is the resu lt of spreadin~ fixed costs of a
campus designed to se rve 4000 students over 2300 students. This is a classic example
of economies of sca le. Legislative budget constraints over the past three years have
preve nted Evergrpen from expanding its student body, thus limiting our ability to
lovvpr ou r cost per st udent .

Here We Go Again
by Eric Brinker
Once again some legislators think they see a light at the end of the fiscal crises
and once again that light involves turning out the lights on Evergreen. Unless you're
a complete shut-in, you are by now aware that the Senate Democratic Caucus voted
14 to 11 for a budget that included only one year of funding for Evergreen's next
fiscal biennium . This would be a winding down period and once the doors were
closed , Evergreen could be used for state offices. At this writing, Evergreen's twoyear financing is still on the bill, but the real battle will come when the Ways and
.
Means Committee takes it to the floor for the final vote.
While it remains unlikely that the school will be shut down, the question remains:
How long does Evergreen have to exist before self-serving hacks like Dick Bond and
Brad Owens stop trying to exorcise it from the state's educational system? It seems
no amount of national recognition or the millions of dollars dumped into the local
economy by students can keep us from this annual battle to prove our validity.
Perhaps it's time to turn the tables and utilize the equally rational notion of
closing down the legislature and making that space available for a minimum security
prison . Aside from the money we'd save by not paying out salaries, we would also
keep certain undesirable elements from converging on our town three or four times
a year.
My message to the legislature is this : Stop using Evergreen for a political football I
We've been kicked around long enough and we're still here, that should tell you
something. If you want to flex some muscl e for your constituents vote yourselves a

" What a cruel hoax this turned out to
be," Udall stated. The newfound realities
of expensive oil, weapons proliferation,
and the great costs of nuclear energy
have ended the "dream factories" of the
50's and 60's.
Mr. Udall states that conservation is the
great answer to recovering from the
energy problems we are having. " If we
just learn to wisely use what we have, we
won't need more, at least for a while, and
we won't need to increase prices." He felt
"that the beginning of wisdom is to recognize the importance of resources, how
precious they are, the limits to nonrenewable resources, and to recognize how to
manage and use them wisely . Somewhat
surprisingly, he felt we should use our
coal reserves . "We are a coal rich nation ,"
he declared . "Solar energy is coming a lot
faster than we think," he said. Mr. Udall
ended with a powerful remark that
summed up his feelings that commercial
nuclear power plants (but not weapons)
are fit for a requiem . "The startling thing
about nuclear power today, tonight is that
the U.S. is getting twice as much energy
from wood as from nuclear power, that's
a fact." Mr. Udall began and ended his
lecture with a poem of Robert Frost's.
Atter over 30 years of development,
research, and bi lIions of dollars invested,
it seems many people should be asking a
lot of questions about our future. Thank
you Mr. Udall for sharing your insights.
Mr. Udall has written several books
including: The Quiet Circle, 1976; Agenda
for Tomorrow, and The Energy Balloon.

The "system" is depi cted clearly as a
force which denies basic human rights,
such as privacy and on occasion denies
the right to I ife itself through brutal
military means. Through their dialog the
two men reach the conclusion that
although people make up the system, the
system ends up making the people. A
statement that indicates the still evolving
vicious circle.

Bill Eiseman and John Bacciagallupi,
producers of the ten -week, KAOS, radi o
seri es "Alive in Olympia, " started pre-sales
last week for the album of music taken
from the show The album has a very
clean sound and has little discernible
background noise. The song selection is
good, and there is not a bad song to be
found on the album.
Although the album covers a great
many musical styles, the song selection,
production and musical ability exhibited
bind the songs together into a package
that is both cohesive and pleasant to
listen to. Much of the music eludes
ca tegorization, however for descriptive
purposes only, I shall pick four categories
to describe the musi c on "Alive in
Olympia." These four categori es are jazzblues, classical-folk, rock and art rock.
Faceditch, Neobop and the Angry
Young Poets contribute two of the longest
pieces on the album, unfortunately the
songs in this category do not interest me.
The second category, that of classica lfolk includes three pieces that are far too
short. Chris Bingham stands out above
everything on side two and much of side
one, as he sings a(ld plays acoustic guitar

Th,' rock ca tegory including the Factory
Girl, " I ')ee You," " Mr. Potatohead" by
the Supreme Cool Beillgs and " Gals
Listen" by Missing Links is another strong
point on the album. These three songs
could easily be cons idered better than
most performed by any Seattle or Portland
bands.
The fourth category , that of art rock
includes Travelog and Heliotroupe. Of the
two songs in thi s category , I find that
Trdvelog's "Over the Brink " is much better
Ihan Heliotroupe's "Universe Is Dancing"
whi ch I find to be too long.
