Lowry campaigns
Lowry
speaks
with
By Francisco A. Chateaubrland
Congressman Mike Lowry likes to claim
he is the only candidate who tells the voters
where he stands. Last week Lowry, a
democrat running for the United States
Senate, addressed a small but enthusiastic
group of supporters at Tumwater Falls Park
and made his position on several issues
crystal clear.
Before a crowd of about 70 people, Lowry
spoke with his usual fervor on what h'~ felt
were the major problems confronting this
country. His blue suit wrinkled from the constant travel, Lowry began by calling for an
end to what he called "an insane nuclear
arms race."
"The MX missile is a first strike weapons
system," said Lowry, "that do nothing for
national security except push the hair trigger Russian paranoia even closer to pulling
that trigger. It is a weapon of insecurity not
security and we have to find a way to get control of this insane nuclear arms race."
Lowry also condemned the use of nerve
gas calling it a "hideous weapon" that serves
no defense purpose, and denounced
Republican incumbent Senator Dan Evans
for voting for its development (Evans denies
he is in favor of nerve gas and he said recently that when it carne time to approve funds
he would be "an extremely hard sell").
On Central America~ Lowry was equally
o utspoken, calling for the removal of the
CIA from Nicaragua. Lowry said the United
States must provide positive leadership in
Central America, one that addresses the real
problems of that region. He continued:
"The biggest problem is that 95 percent
of the people in Central America have lived
in poverty and usually they've lived in pover·
ty being oppressed by regimes that U.S.
roreign policy has s upported , such as the
Somoza regime .
"I want the United States down there say·
ing ' let us help you get educated. Let us help
you get skilled labor. Let us help you do the
things you need to do so you are able to bring
up the living standards of the people of CenIral America.' And after that, I promise you
there will be no problems with creeping communism coming across Central America
because they' ll be saying the U.S is doing
what it should be doing, which is being the
leade r for democracy around the world."
CPJ
By Francisco A. Chateaubriand
As enthusiastic supporters pulled out th eir
checkbooks on Lowry's behalf, the Cooper
Point Journal was able to get a short interview with the senatorial hopefUl. Speaking
with the same excitement he had exhibited
in his speech just moments earlier, Lowryappeared more than willing to state his posi·
t ion all the issues.
Lowry addresses supporters at Tumwater Fa lls Park.
Lowry concluded his speech by blasting
Reagan's tax package known as the KempRoth Bill . Saying the bill will create deficits
exceeding $200 billion and take money away
from essential social programs, Lowry ca ll ed it "a st upid piece of legislation " that he
never considered voting for.

After the speech Lowry mingled with the
crowd shak ing hands a nd answering questions. A plea for financial support netted his
campaign some $1,500 and a short time later,
Lowry was off to Seattle to seek the endorse·
ment of this state's labor unions. He got thai
endorsement last Friday.
CP J - What's your position on the nu clear
waste depository al Hanford? Should there
be one there?
Lowry - The last geological sur vey shown
to me indicated the extreme danger of waste
possibly leaking downward into the water
table. Unless the queslions rising from that
can be answered and proven safe, the answer
is "no."
CPJ - What do we do with il in th e
meantime?
Lowry - You find a safe place to have
nuclear waste. You don't go to an un safe
place th at has nuclear waste. But Ihe moo;[
important thing is thi s whole idea of havin g
only one or two national depositQri.:s. Thai' s
wrong because it takes away the responsibili·
ty of all other states, when deciding whether
to build nuclear plan IS, of deciding how to
handle Ih e disposal of their nuclear wa ste .

Registration up but not everyone is happy
By Bradley P. Blum
Enrollment figure s for the Fall quarter at
Evergreen are above those of a year ago.
That's good news for a college that has often
been criticized for its inability to attract a sufficient amount of students. For those people trying to find programs and courses to
enroll in, it's not such good news. Many
students reached the front of the line in the
Registrar's office only to be confronted with
a choice; either look for a different prog~am
or course, or get put on a waiting list and
hope .
Rumors around campus had the increase
in registrants ranging anywhere from two
hundred to as many as a thousand extra
students . In reality, the number was considerably smaller. According to Head
Registrar, Walker Allen, by Wednesday morning of last week, enrollment had surpassed
last fall's total by forty-five. Allen estimated
that, by the end of this week's late registration, the total gain in enrollment would be
in the neighborhood of a hundred students.
When asked about the rumors of an additional thousand students at TESC, Walker
chuckled and replied, "Oh, no. It just feels
that way" .
.
Any increase is seen as a good omen. Last
spring's larger than usua l graduating class
left the school with a smaller pool of returning students. Just breaking even, in terms
of over-all student numbers, required an increase in new students registering .
or" those new students coming to
Evergreen, the number of those coming from
out of state is down from a year ago. That
means that a considerably larger number of
residents decided to come to the school this
year. This, too, is good news. Such statistics
will make it more difficult for critics, such
as Senator Bond, to claim that TESC is
unable !O draw Washinglonians through its
doors.
This encouraging show of Evergreen's
st rength does not, however, come without
some problel11s. People slanding in lines and
dealing with a computerized sys tem are
se ldom a contented lot. The co mpl a ints
varied, but seemed to fall into one of three
catego ries. Some people felt Ihal not enough
programs had been offered this year . Others
thought it unfair that new students were
registered before continuing students. The
third group found the rules that governed the
registration process a bit confusing. One perso n even suggested that registe ring required
a knowledge o f "Fizzbin." (Fizzbin, Star
Trekkies will recall, was a game invented by
Captain Kirk and his crew to cause some androids to overload their circuitry. The rules
were made up as the game progressed. The
Evergreen version of Fizzbin goes something
like, "You are only allowed to be on one
waiting list, unless, of course, you are signed up for the MPI program . Then you ca n
be on two lists . But if one or more of the
waiting lists is for an MPI-related course,
then you can be on more. However, today
is Tuesday, so ... You get the idea?)
To the complaint that not enough programs were offered, Walker Allen respond ed, "In terms of the number of programs for
the full·time faculty, it' s approximately the
same (as last year) . The difference, it feels
to me, is at the part-time level; especia ll y in
terms of courses offered after five." All en
also mentioned that there were slightly fewer
pan-t ime students this year, which would
mean a good sized increase in full -time
enrollment. That would mean more competi·
tion for available spaces in programs.
In reply to Ihe argument that registering
new st udents ahead of continuing students
was unfair, Allen pointed that "What we've
tried to do, is give our continuing student s
the first shot at the program, and cou rses a nnounced in the spring. " The alternative 10
this, he suggested,"Would be to say,'Lel's
just run registration right before the quaner
begins. 'Thai would mean that continuing
students would have to come back to campus earlier than anyone else in order to get
registered . New st udent s wouldn't have to be
here, because we'd put them in after the fact.
I don't think that would go over too well . "
To those who say that the rules are overly
co nfusing , the Head Registrar replied," Any
registration syste m that has yet been devised is going to receive some criticism. I don't
care what you do ... 1 work with the deans and
try to go over those waiting lists, now, to see
what kinds of adjustments can be made to
accomodate as many students as possible. "

'Toilet doors 'an issue at ISU
Martin to chair presidential search committee
A Ii-member search committee has been appointed by the Board of Trustees to select
five finalists, one of whom will become
Evergreen's new president.
The Board met in special session recently
to discuss a successor to former president
Daniel Evans who resigned last month to ac- .
cept an appointment to the U.S. Senate.
Trustees as ked founding faculty member and
former academic dean Rudy Martin to chair
the co mmillee, which has until December
31 st to complete reco mmendations on five
finali sts for trustee consideration. The
Trustees then hope to make a final selec tion
by the beginning of March.
In charging the committee, Board Chairwoman Thelma Jackson said it appeared
dear that the co llege wanted to repla,e Evans
with' 'an ex ternally-focused president," one
who could tell Evergreen's story to the public
a nd represent the college to its off-campus
constituencies, including legislators, key
comm unity lead ers, parent s, a lums and
fr ie nds .
Academ ic Vice President and Provost
Patr i c~ Hill agreed but also pointed out that
Evergreen did not need what he ca ll ed " a
pure public figure." He urged, "Everg reen 's
presiden t should have enough ac ademi c
st ature ~o that he or she is not dwarfed by
th e pres ident s of ot her in stitution ., ."
The commit tee was asked by the board 10
mect immediately und er the direction of
Cha irman Martin to prepare draft s fo r
advcrti,ement s to announce Everg reen' s
nation-wid, .>carch and to draft a list of

KEY Workshops
If you are having som~ difficulty ma naging your academic schedule, or need a hand
in developing those skills necessa ry for surviv ing in your program, you may want to
check out the upcoming workshops being offered by KEY -special Services.
Starting Wednesday, October 12, KEY
will be sponsoring a series of informational
workshops designed to identify and develop
those academic skills essential for succeeding
here at Evergreen.
Each session will be facilitated by faculty
and support staff with a format consisting
of short lectures, handouts, and small group
discussions .
AMES, Iowa (UP]) - Male students are
upset about the removal of stall doors in
men's rest rooms at Iowa State University
and say they may stage a sit-in in the
women's restrooms to pressure school officials to replace the doors.
ISU officials said they removed the stall
doors to reduce homosexual activity in the
Memorial Union building'S restrooms. Some
The search committee will meet on October 17, to discuss the criteria that will be
used in the selection process. They will persent their findings to the Board of Trustees
on October 21st.
Library goes high tech ...
If you've been to the library lately, you
may know that the card catalog ha s a new
look. In fact, it's not a card catalog anymore,
it's a computer-output-microfilm (COM)
catalog. Six microfilm readers are located
around the library, and each reader houses
a copy of the catalog. Five of the readers are
in the reference area and one is located conveniently near the slacks on the third f100r.
While many miss the aesthetics of a wood
and paper card calalog, there are some major advantages to using the new COM
catalog. The first is the cross references provided throughout. These cross references
direct users to related names and topics in
the catalog and will advise the user of subjects that are related to the topic she or he
looks up. Additionally, as many as two
dozen records are displayed at one time so
that browsing is much simpler. The print is
large and clear (unlike many of the card
catalog cards). For many multi-volume
publications, information about which
volumes we own is now available within the
catalog. Finally, users will enjoy the fact that
they can search everything while seated at
one station.
The COM catalog was produced for
Eve rgreen by the Washington Library Network. Since 17 percent of Evergreen's collection has not yet been entered into the
Washington Library Network data base,
users must still consult the card catalog for
some types of materials. Music scores, sound
recordings and some books published before
1977 are the major group of materials which
shou ld st ill be searched in the card catalog.
Cumulative monthly updates to the COM
catalog on microfiche will be found next to
the COM catalog readers. The whole cata log

Demystifying Education & Learning from
Lectures - This workshop will begin with
a discussion on myths surrounding higher
education (i.e . what faculty expect of first
year students, what students think they
sho uld know before being here, etc.) The
workshop will then focus on learning from
lectures (i .e . listening, and note-taking and
developing or enhancing those skills).
By Julie Larson
There is a new organization on campus for
students, faculty and staff who are parents,
and anyone who is interested in issues parents
face .
The idea for the center was born of many
discus ions with parent-students (like myself),
who were experiencing the challenges and
stresses of raising a child (or children) while
being an Evergreen student. Many expressed the desire to gather with others in similar
situations to share and support each other
and to seek support and recognition from the
college community.
October 26
Seminar Sany - What is a seminar really?
This workshop will cover the purpose and
focus of the seminar, as well as the abilities
students need. Also presented will be information on ending seminars, how to fix a bad
seminar and ideas for quiet participants.

... and adds new faces
Some new folks in the library and some
old folks in new spots deserve your attention.
A librarian can be your best friend so pay
attention.
In circulation, welcome Niles Reichardt.
As an Evergreen student Reichardt worked
in circulation, moved on to interlibrary loan
and now assumes the head spot. Julie
Hebert, from the Pierce County Library and
brand new to Evergreen, also joins the cir cu lation crew. Linda Fraidenburg moved
from this department to become head of
periodicals.
Interlibrary loan adds two circulation
defectors: Pat McLeod, Head, and Linda
Tyler.

CP J - The school systems in this state, <\L
all levels, seem to be suffering in their quality
of education. Reagan has suggested merit
pay as a solution for the elementary and
secondary schools. What do you think the
solution is?
Lowry - The vast majority of the educa1ion
problem is that we haven't put up enough
money for education. These people who
always come up with all of the answers
always avoid the fact that you have to pay
money for quality education. The principle
thing we need is a return to where we have
ago. The problem is lack of financial support for our school systems . That's the overriding problem. As for merit pay, it sounds
good but frankly, it doesn't accomplish
anything.
CP J - The Soiomon Amendment, which requires all college students to prove they've
registered for the draft, is Lowry - Opposed it all the time! Solomon
is a right-wing nut from New York, got it?
(Laughs) Everything that comes along - I
mean , he stands up on the f100r and makes
these speeches about. . . whatever, and
everything that comes along he ties a string
been as far as federal dollars for education.
In the last two years elementary and secondary funding has been cut 27 percent. Compensatory education has been cUt 17 percent,
nutrition programs cut 35 percent and stu dent loan s have been cut 27 percent. So,
when you talk about the problems with the
decline of quality education and so on, and
then turn around and say, "Well, merit pay
is the answer," that's baloney! The problem
with education is we're not spending the
amount of money this country ought to be
spend in g on educat ion. And why not?
Because we're spending such a tremendous
amount more on the military than we shou ld
be spending on the military .
The 1984 military budget is 123 billion
dollars higher than the 1980 military budget!
In 1980 the Department of Defense
authorization was 145 billion dollars. Next
year it's 268 billion dollars.
Teachers, on the other hand, are making
12 percent less now than they did ten years
around registration for the draft. I'm dead
against it!
CP J Several colleges have offered
students who rcfuse to sign the rel ease alter native form s of financial aid . Do yo u support thi s action?
Lowry - I think that's fin e and good
all hough that' s another field, one I don't
k now much about. I can sa y, howeve r, that
the Solomon Amendment is wrong and that
Jerry Solomon does this so rt of thing because
he 's one of these anti -co mmuni st breathing
right-wingers that every tim e you give him
a microphone he 's going to make a speech
about stopping creep ing communism and all .
There are a lot of them back there. A lot o f
them got elected back in 1980 ... in a ny case,
I'm against it . I al so oppose draft
registration.
CP J - Is there any way to reverse this type
of legislation?
Lowry - Yeah, there' s a way to reverse it.
Get different people in the U.S. Senate.

students say they feel humiliated when they
have to use the doorless stalls
"]t's the dumbest thing] have ever heard
of," student body vice president Michael
Keller said Friday.
Doors were removed from some of the
stalls about 18 months ago, Keller said. But
he said Memorial Union officials only recently told him the decision resulted from complaints of homosexual activity.
"I just can't believe it," said Keller, who
added that several students had come to his
office to complain about the lack of privacy.
Keller said he and others are·considering the
sit-in protest.
"It's obvious that Memorial Union
management is more concerned with its image and not concerned enough about the majority of students here and the inconvenience
this means for them," he said.
Judd Baker, associate director of the
Memorial Union, said he has received complaints from Union visitors about homosexual activities there . The Union frequently
rents halls to the public for receptions, he
said.

Hello fellow Vets:
My name is Gary Wessels and I'm a
veteran of the U.S. Navy. The program
which I am Participating in is Images of the
Person and I also have an internship with the
Cooper Point Journal.
Over the last few years we have been ex·
periencing a big decline in our so-called
guaranteed benefits. A big concern of Viet
Nam Vets is Agent Orange poisoning. By introducing this column to the CP J , both the
Cooper Point Journal and myself hope to
keep you informed of any changes in
benefits, and try to help relieve some of the
mental strain brought on by bad experiences
that may have occurred overseas.
This is where you come in . We need your
input. If you have a story to relate, or an incident that has been bothering you, then
drop us a line. I will be keeping in touch with
Paul Bean, who is the coordinatoor of
Veterans Affairs here at Evergreen. By doing this, if I cannot answer a question that
you might hav\: , I am sure that Paul can
assist me in finding it.
I hope to hear from you, because your input to make this column an exciting and important addition to the Evergreen

story.The big question seems to be, "What
is it?" The only firm answer seems to be "It
is controversial!"
The film is a documentary on pornography which uses some of porn's nastiest
stuff to argue against the porn industry. Not
A Love Slory stirs mixed emotions: extreme
anger, titillation, helpful concern, and
helpless sorrow.
The questions that arise are:
I. Is it an educational documentary or just
more titillating pornography?
2. Does anger promote understanding or
widen the separation between the sexes?
3. Can this anger be transformed int9 concern and affirmative action, through
cooperation and discussion?
4. Is there enough substantial insight to be
gained from this film to balance out the thrill
factor?
The only way to answer these questions is
to see this movie. It will be shown October
6, at 7:00 and 9:30 p.m. in Lecture Hall I.
Not A Love Story is a Canadian documentary designed to look at pornography, why
it exists, what forms it takes and how it affects the relationship between men and
women. The film was produced by Dorothy
Todd Henaut, written and directed by Bonnie Sherr Klein, and sponsored by The National Film Board of Canada.
In order to make its point Not A Love
Story takes its viewers on a journey through
the world of pornography. Director Bonnie
Sherr Klein, appears throughout the film as
interviewer and narrator, while Linda Lee
Tracey, a former Montreal stripper, presents
and discusses her work. According to a Seattie Times review, "Tracey is articulate and
charismatic and the camera is drawn to her. "
Filmmakers have chosen a direct approach
to porn in which cameras actually film scenes
such as a photo session for Hustler
magazine. This is meant to shock the audience into seeing how "unsexy" pornography really is.
From a review in The Nation: "The shock
of the film comes when Klein takes her
camera behind the scenes to show how coldly the bodies are posed, how clinically the
"action is planned."
Not A Love Story is said to be explicit and
even sickening at times. In fact it was banned by the Province of Ontario due to explicit
scenes. There is some disagreement over
whether or not Not A Love Story should be
praised. It is said to be a powerful film which
shows viewers how degrading pornography
can be, it is also said that the film "employs
the very villian it derides."
From Ms. magazine:"ln Not A Love
Slory women filmmakers have created a personal film ... it makes clear the profound difference between erotica's mutually chosen
pleasure and the violence and domination
that define pornography."
Meanwhile the Post Intelligencer review
reads: "Rubbing viewers in some of porn's
seamiest filth was certain to arouse angry
emotions in most people. But what are people supposed to do with that anger? What
LETTERS
To the Editor:
Finishing up my first week in the MPA
program at Evergreen, I have a question:
Why is it that, on a generally ecologically/enviromentally conscious campus, where most
people, as far as I can observe do not smoke,
is every lounge, every sitting area and
especially, every food service area (excepting
the smallest, out-of-the-way corner of the
cafcteria) a smoking area?
I am sitting in the cafeteria now - in that
above-mentioned corner of course - looking at about a dozen tables full of people.
At only one of these is anyone smok ing,
although people are breathing at all twelve
and the cigeratte smoke makes me gag
though I'm on the other side of the room.
The situation in the lounge outsidc the Deli
this morning was similar.
Admittedly I have a severe problem
because l'm violently allergic to tobacl:O
smoke, but I see no reason why other nonsmokers should have their lungs destroyed
by - is it 27? - pollutants just because it
doesn't produce instant symptoms. Surely we
all k now by now that this is not merely a
question of discomfort and social mores, but
one of a small minority of people forcing the
majority to breathe their blow-by.
I do understand that cigarette smokers are
addicred, and would no more suggest depriving them than I would suggest not serving
coffee, though cofee is consumed only by
persons choosing to do so. However, I would
like to see a more equitable distribution of
space in eating and lounge areas, and I do
have a suggestion (courtesy of Alta Bates
Hospital, Berkeley, CAl that avoids
ostracism of one group: a planting of bushy
evergreens about 5'6" tall, in pots about 3
feet high, with the trees' branches beginning essentially at ground level, arranged in
a row so that lower branches touch while upper ones separate a bit, produces an attractive barrier between smoking and nonsmok ing areas, and one so effective (updraft
ceiling fans help, too, of course) that it is
possible to sit just across a tree from a
smoker and be perfectly comfortable. If the
hanging row of ivy. which appears to have
little or no function. could be replaced with
such a row of trees, it would produce at least
equal-sized areas in the cafeteria for smokers
and non-smokers. Something similar could
perhaps divide the upstairs lounge areas
around the deli and bookstore.
I hope the Board and/ or the Administration will consider this question and take appropriate action - it will improve the
Evergreen experience for many, maybe most,
of us.

is far more difficult than inflaming emotions
about pornography is coming up with solutions to it - there is scarcely a hint about
that in Not A Love Story."
Either argument may be valid, only the
viewer can decide for himself or herself.
Perhaps speaker Joan Harfst, who has seen
the film before can shed some light on how
to channel strong emotions into affirmative
action. Missy Manoogan, Women's Center
Coordinator, hopes a group discussion will
help make the movie a positive, educational
experience.
A review from The Nation says of the
film: "Its makers are alarmed by what they
have uncovered and urgent in their call for
public response. They are skilled and
dedicated journalists. It happens that they
are women and feminists, but it would be a
sad blunder to assume that they speak for
their own sex alone. The industry on which
they report debases us all."
What do you think? Attending the movie
may change your mind or reaffirm your
beliefs. Either way, this is an important film
which should not be missed.
Baby C was born prematurely with lung
disease. 'His parents lived in a car. His
mother received no prenatal care and inadequate nutrition. The family lived on handouts from neighbors and hospital staff. By
the time Baby C died at 7 months of age in
a Michigan hospital, the mother was pregnant again with Baby D. Baby D was
delivered stillborn in the car five days after
Baby C's death. The state of Michigan paid
for the double funeral.
These two American children should not
have died. Nor should American infants in
some Detroit neighborhoods who suffer infant mortality rates comparable to infants in
Honduras--the poorest country in Latin
America .
Since 1980, our President and Congress
have been turning our national plowshares
into swords and bringing good news to the
rich at the expense of the poor. An escalating
arms race and nuclear proliferation hold
hostage not only the future we hold in trust
for our chi ldren, but also the present, which
is for many millions of our young in America
one of relentless poverty and deprivation
Consider a recent study of child deaths by
the Maine Department of Human Services
that says poor children in America die at a
rate three times that of nonpoor children,
and t hat poverty is the ult imate cause of
death for 11,000 American children each
year. This is more child deaths over five years
than the whole number of American battle
deaths during the Vietnam war.
Yet in its first year, the Reagan Administration proposed $11 billion in cuts in
preventative children's and lifeline support
programs for poor families with no attempt
to distinguish between programs that work
and don't work. The Congress enacted $9
billion in cuts.
In its second year, the Reagan Administrat ion proposed $9 billion in cuts in these same
programs; the Congress enacted $1 billion
I n its third year, the president is proposing $3.5 billion in new cuts in these same programs just as the effects of the previous cuts
are being felt and millions of Americans are
beset by joblessness, homelessness, and lost
health insurance. Thousands of children face
increasing child abuse, foster care placement,
illness and mortality because their families
are unable to meet their needs while safety
net family support, health and social services
programs are being drastically cut back.
At the same time the Reagan Administration is trying to convince the American people to give the Pentagon $2 trillion over a
seven year period in the largest arms buildup
in peacetime history.
When President Reagan took office, we
were spending $18 million an hour on
defense.
This year we are spending $24 million an
hour.
By 1988, if the President had his way, we
would be spending $44 million an hour on
defense and every American would be spending 63 percent more on defense and 22 percent less on poor children and poor families .
The American people have been sold a set
of false choices by our national leaders who
tell us we must choose between jobs and
peace; between filling potholes in our streets
and cavities in our children's teeth; between
daycare for the five million latchkey children
and home care for the millions of senior
citizens living out their lives in the loneliness
of a nursing home; between arms control and
building the MX! There are other choices-fairer choices--that you and I must insist our
political leaders make.
Just one hour's worth of President
Reagan's proposed defense increase this year
in military spending would pay for free
school lunches for 19,000 children for a
school year. A day's worth of his proposed
defense increase would pay for a year's free
school lunches for a lmost one half million
low income students. A week's worth of his
proposed defense spending could buy a fully equipped micro-computer for every
classroom of low income ch ild ren of school
age in the U.S., assuming 25 children to a
classroom.
Or, to look at the cost of specific weapons
programs:
- Building one less of the planned 226 MX
missiles we still can't find a place to hide,
would save $110 million, or the amount
needed to eliminate poverty in 10 1,000
female headed households a year. If we
cancel the whole MX program we could
eliminate poverty for all 12 million poor
children and have enough left over to pay
college costs for 300,000 potential engineers,
mathematicians, and scientists who may not
be able to afford college.
- Eliminating nine of the Pentagon's planned 100 B-1 bombers would save $2.3 billion,
about what it would cost to finance Medicaid
for all pregnant women and children below
the poverty level.
The Children's Defense Fund is seeking
enactment of a Children's Survival Bill (H.R.
1603 and S. 572) to restore funding for
carefully selected children's programs unfairly cut by the Reagan Administrtion and Congress. These restorations would return some
semblance of fairness to the budget and
alleviate some of the child suffering we and
others have documented.
Twenty years ago Dwight Eisenhower expressed the need to invest in our children
rather than bombs; mothers rather than
missiles:
"Every gun that is made, every warship
launched, every rocket fired signifies ... This
world in arms is not spending money alone.
It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the
genius of its scientists, the hopes of its
children. "

Defense Fund.

Cable TV in Oly: 'W ho Has ContrQI?
The pending refranchJing of cable television
in Olympia has sparked renewed community interest in local coble programming. Tn this
first of three articles, we will review the
history of the cable industry, and examine
how it has effected Olympia.

In just over 30 years, television has
transformed our knowledge of events, and
greatly influenced the development of our attitudes and opinions in everyday life . There
are over 170 million TV sets in the US, carrying an ever-increasing concentration of information and services to the viewer. Yet
stunning as these advances are, we have
hardly scratched the surface in terms of
television's potential. Cable TV, one of the
fastest growing industries in the country, is
destined to further revolutionize our viewing .habits by the 1990's, when industry
analysts expect 80-90 percent of all homes
in the US with television to be "wired." Of
the many new services and programming options being developed, such as teletext, electronic mail, and the expanding variety of
satellite channels, perhaps the most rewarding, yet legally controversial potential is for
conununity involvement in the origination of
local programming. In many areas,
community-operated cable channels are airing local news, sports, public affairs, educational and cultural programs, and much
more. Olympia now faces the challenge of
realizing these potentials as negotiations
begin for a new franchise agreement, due to
go into effect Jan. I, 1985.
A brief history of the cable industry may
help place local events in perspective. Cable
TV began in the late 1940's as a means of
providing network television to remote areas
and/or areas geographically blocked from
broadcast TV reception. Small "community antenna," or CATV companies, sprang
up to operate and service the cable systems,
which generally consisted of long-range
receptor antennae connected to homes by
coaxial cables strung along telephone poles
or through underground telephone ducts.
This was originally encouraged by local TV
stations, who wanted to generate more
revenues by promising advertisers more
customers. By the mid-1950's , distant stations were being imported by microwave
relays, creating competition for local broadcasters . Yet the technology of cable remained relatively uninfluential by itself, as it was
still dependent on existing television broadcast signals for its operation.
During the 1960's, the capacity of CA TV
systems increased from 12 to 20 channels,
dramatically changing cable's programming
potential. Cable now had the room to carry
a variety of local programming instead of
merely retransmitting broadcast signals. The
late 1960's and early 1970's saw a brief
blossoming of interest in local programming,
but communities were hampered by equipment costs and inexperience with the
"The fear that business interests
might take pr«edence over public interest underscores the need for communities to develop sociallyresponsible and locally-responsive
cable programming."
medium. Recent refinements have since increased the carrying capacity of cable to 54
channels on a single line, 108 channels on
systems using two lines. These technological
improvements also sparked an interest on the
part of larger companies, and the industry
trend of the last decade has been towards
mergers and conglomerate ownership. The
small CATV companies of old were bought
out, leaving a multi-billion dollar industry
. that is today dominated by a small number
of companies. At present, 40 percent of all
cable subscribers in the U.S. are serviced by
13 companies.
One reason for this concentration is the
cost of installing cable lines. Cable costs approximately $12,000 a mile when strung
overhead, about $20,000 when laid
underground. The fact that now only larger
corporations can usually afford to bid on the
franchise agreements necessary for operation
leads some critics to wonder when cable WIll
again be responsive to local programming
needs. Legally, the public OWl1$ the airwaves,
and the FCC regulates the cable industry, as
\
.
'
it does television and radio, to ensure that
it operates in the "public interest." Yet in
the history of broadcasting, advertisers have
come to exert an enormous influence on program production, and the incentive for profit has created conflicts of interest with
educational and cultural programs that
generate less revenues. The fear that business
interests might take precedence over "public
interest" underscores the need for communities to develop socially-responsible and
locally-responsive cable programming.
Much of the Olympia community has been
wired for cable for almost 20 years, with a
rich tradition of locally originated programming for much of that time. In late 1964, the
city approved a 20 year franchise agreement
that allowed Telecable, Inc., a Seattle
business which developed cable systems for
a number of geographically-isolated communities in Western Washington, to begin
providing cable television within the city
boundries in return for a 4'h percent franchise tax on their gross revenues. In addition
to offering six broadcast stations from the
Sel1ttle area, and two from Canada, they
began an ambitious, and still warmly
remembered, experiment in local programming. For the next six years, a group made
up mostly of volunteers, operated a channel
out of what is now the Kelly-Moore paint
store on 4th Avenue, providing a variety of
public affairs, news and sports programs.
With sponsorship by area restaurants, car
dealers and others, they were able to produce
3-4 hours of daily programming over Channel 10 of Telecable's system. There was
coverage of cooking shows, high-school and
college football and wrestling matches,
hydroplane races, parades, and many early
regional rock festivals. Two of the more
popular
programs
were
"Misty
Moonbeams," a children's show, and
"Right Now in Olympia," an hourly political
\ ,
commentary program that attracted then
Gov. Rosellini once as a guest commentator.
In 1970, with over 4,000 city subscribers
connected by approximately 240 miles of
cable, Telecable was bought out by Nation
Wide Cablevision, then a subsidiary of a
California firm, and the local programming
on Channel 10 disappeared. Nation Wide,
in turn, was sold to TeleCommunications,
Inc. of Denver in 1973. Soon thereafter, a
second attempt at local programming was
made by area businessmen who leased Channel 6 and developed a service known as
CPTL Television. Dick Fuller, an early partner in CPTL and currently Head of Master
Control and Video Engineering at Evergreen,
says that by surviving largely on advertising
revenues, CPTL was able to operate out of
a small studio at Nation Wide, where in addition to such rented and purchased programming as travelogues, Westerns and
detective shows, they were able to present

programming needs."
coverage of Lakefair and the Children's Pet
Parade, high-school and college sports
events, and semi-pro football games by the
now-defunct Thurston County Vikings.
Especially popular were a series of plays by
a production group known as the Westside
Kids, and a comedy show called "Crusty's
Corner," hosted by current KGY DJ Carl
Cooke. CPTL continued to produce local
programs until it folded in 1978. Subsequent
local programming has been limited to occassional Lakefair events.
In our next article, we will examine more
specifically the issues involved in the refranchising of cable television, and the potential
rejuvenation of local programming in Olympia, and take a look at how other
Washington State cities are assessing their
options for local programming in their
communities.

Greeners s-t ar in OL T's The Rainmaker
By Don Bales
The Olympia Little Theater production of
"The Rainmaker" by N. Richard Nash will
open Friday, Oct. 7th. Through the creative
eyes of director Anne Sargent, a veteran of
over forty productions for the Olympia area
community theater, the cast of six men and
one woman take us back about fifty years
to a cattle ranch in the midst of a scorching
drought. The story centers around Jhe Curry
family; a father, two sons and a daughter.
H.C. Curry, the father, played by Fred
Tucker, is a warm, sensitive character who
is trying desperately to hold both his family
and hi s ranch together as the temperature
conti nues to rise on the inside and the outside of the ranch house . Noah Curry, played
by Evergreen studentJim Hartley, is a
stau nch, 'by-the-book' realist who finds that
his tunnel vision leads to much more than
just red ink in the family ledgers. Noah's
younger brother and nemesis, Jim Curry, is
brought vividly to life by Evergreen senior
Kenan Kelley. Kenan's portrayal of the
uneducated "dreamer provides moments of
whimsical comedy as well as powerful shifts
to thought-provoking drama.
Evergreen's multi-talented faculty is
represented in the person of Ruth Palmerlee,
a member of the Theater Ar
staff, who put aside her MFA in costume
design to play the role of Lizzie Curry, a
woman less glamorous and more intelligent
than was "allowed" in her time. Ruth's
character provides not only a showcase of
her considerable talents, but also introduces
us to many dramatic changes as Lizzie tries
to cope in a world that is not ready for her
complex personality.
The Curry household is turned upsidedown by the appearance of the Rainmaker,
Bill Starbuck, portrayed by Mark Effinger.
Starbuck promises the Curry family an end
to the drought for a small fee. We soon
discover that he is offering much more than
rain.

The production is rounded out by Jim Bottoroff who plays File, the sheriff's deputy
with a hardened outlook on life and love;

Last Sunday Alice Walker, poet, novelist
and essayist, read to an enthusiastic crowd
in the University of Washington HUB
Ballroom. The 1400 lucky enough to snatch
a ticket knew her well. They laughed and
sighed and called out responses. Beside the
podium a crock of, 'urple dried flowers and
baby's breath sat OJ a paint-smattered table.
Behind her hung the lavender quilt she made
while writing her latest novel.
In her readings and lecture, Walker showed us the power in voices mall" of us have
been missing. She read the voices of women
in destructive relationships, of slaves in the
American south, of mothers; and of girls in
Africa raised to be an old man's bride. If we
imagine all these voices having a share in ruling this country and the rest of the world,
exciting possibilities emerge. Imagine President Martin Luther King or President BlaclC
Elk. Imagine Stevie Wonder dealing with
poverty. Or Sweet Honey in the Rock dealing with anything! As Celie in The Color
Purple says:
The God I been praying and
w;iting to is a man. And act just
like all the other mens I .krzow.
Trifling,
forgitful
and
lowdown .... Let 'im hear me, I
say. If he ever listened to poor
colored women the world would
be a different place, I can tell
you.
The Color Purple was the book the audience had come to hear. Many people first
met her through this book, though her eight
other books, including a biography of
Langston Hughes and a Zora Neale Hurston
reader, have been widely, if quietly, read
across the country. Walker also read from
poems, novels and her forthcoming book of
essays, In Search of Our Mothers' Gardens,
Womanist Prose.
reading and perhaps because she has resolv.ed a lot of contemporary problems within
herself.
Walker's answer to oppression is action,
for our own "health and well-being."
Despite the temptation to let the white oppressors blow up the world with nuclear
weapons to keep them from ruining other
planets, she came to realize that suicide is not
the answer. It is more noble and difficult to
fight against oppression, against nuclear
arms and against the rape of the earth's
resources . . She finished the reading with a
poem about all the people in her life friends, lovers, her daughter - who are
worth saving the world for.
Walker is perhaps the most honest writer
I've read. She does not cringe at discussing
the sexism she found in African culture and
in Afro-American culture, as well as the
grotesque oppression by whites of people of
color. She said, "Whites could be people of
color if they'd just relax." Walker is not a
separatist.
Colleen McElroy, Northwest poet, introduced the reading . McElroy has three
books to her credit and another one coming
out. She described the honesty in Walker's
prose as so vivid she couldn't stand to read
it for six months.
Kathi Lupson performed a wonderful
signing for the hearing impaired, especially
during, "Never Offer Your Heart to Someone Who Eats Hearts," a poem about
people who eat up and destroy those close
to them. Words literally dripped, drooled
and dribbled down her chin.
A large black woman walked by the
autographing table with a pin stating, "We
are everywhere." Overall, the spirit of the
reading waS' one of recognizing and
celebrating differences while uniting in
action.
Walker wrote a poem that she keeps tacked above her desk to remind her of past
obstacles to women and of the power and
spirituality she has gained from being a
mother to Rebecca, her young daught er.
Dear Alice,
Virginia Woolf had madness.
George Eliot had ostracism,
somebody else's husband,
and did not dare to use
her own name.
Jane Austen had no privacy
and no love life.
The Bronte sisters never went anywhere
and died young.
Zora Hurston (ahf) had no money
and poor health.
You have Rebecca - who is
much more delightful
and less distracting
than any of the calamities
above.
(from In Search of Our Mothers' Gardens,
Womanist Prose by Alice Walker.)
Walker left us hopeful that combining the
strength of all the voices in our world, we
can create a more just society.
A gentle woman in dusky lavender-blue
blouse and purple bracelet, Walker exuded
a peace and determination perhaps from the
quiet time she demanded offstage before the

number forty-nine in his career, is Fanny and
Alexander. It is a semi-autobiographical excursion into the world of ten year old Alexander (Bertil Ouve); a world rife with magic,
art, illusion and love, all contained in the
most wonderful of bourgeois atmospheres.
[ mean, this house has got to be seen! (But
viewers beware: another Barry Lyndon Fan·
ny and Alexander is not.)
The film opens into Alexander's private
world of imagination and pretend. extending
into Grandma Ekdahl's (Gunn Wallgren)
house and the local theater run by his actor/actress parents . It is Christmas 1907
(Bergman was born in 1918) and both houses
are filled with the magic and excitement,
preparations and expectations that, as a
child, only this season can bring. But when
the curtain falls we see, behind the scenes,
beneath this conspicuous surface, behind
Oskar Ekdahl's (Allen Edwall) bearded
Joseph, a tired, aged man . His speech to the
theater troupe, though sensitive and full of
compassion, is labored and tinged with
melancholy. Even his angel wife Emilie (Ewa
Froling) is blind (by her own radiance?) to
his condition.
Back at home, Grandma's become bitchy
with the servants. They stand at attention
while momma matriarch white-gloves the
roast beast. But everything returns to proper "hello" and "kissy kissy" and "run off
to play" by the time the family arrives for
the evening's holiday festivities.
As in many of Bergman's films, this
dichotomy between surface impressions and
underlying "realities" thematically sustains
Fanny and Alexander, though it takes a .
rather slow-moving first hour to establish .
(It was originally a five hour series for
Swedish Television, reduced to three hours
seventeen minutes with intermission for
theatrical release.)
On another level the law of inverse proportion applies. As Alexander's world expands, due to the death of his father, remarriage of his mother to Bishop Verges us (Jan
Malmsjo) and consequent move to the
Bishop's sanctum sanctorum, it in fact
becomes a barren cubicle, barring any contact whatsoever with the outside world. Alexander rejects the sagacious dogma held by
Vergesus and, as punishment, the holierthan-thou kiss on the hand is more than we
can bear. Yet for Alexander, life was rich in
the small world of the theater, enchanting
and mystical at Grandma's house where a
short repose beneath a table could conjure
life into a Venus de Miloesque statue.
Magic is very much a part of Fanny and
Alexander: ghosts roam freely, imagination
plays tricks and even God makes an appearance. And perhaps like my friend and
myself, you'll leave with a little bit of magic
of your own.

Geoduck booters improve their kicks, place 4th in tourney
By Brian Dixon
Unidentified Geoduck takes free kick against Linfield's Wildcats in last Sunday's
homecoming game. Evergreen shut-o ut the 'Cats 2-0 to boost their record to 2-3 -1.

In the past, the Evergreen soccer program
has lived up to it's reputation as a "typical
Evergreen flake out team." Players showed
up if and when their karma was right or if
their bio,- rhythms weren't too low. If, on occasion the team did win, it became an excuse
to consume various intoxicants in celebration
of the event.
Things have changed drastically since
then. The team now has a new coach, Arno
Zoske, who expects players at practice no
matter what their karma is. Since September
6th, Zoske has had several of the Bi-valves
show up to practice not once but twice a day,
and on time to boot. Zoske has coached at
Pacific Lutheran University and worked in
athletics at Notre Dame. He has altered
several things on the Evergreen team, from
the five hour practices to recruiting several
players from other schools around the state.
Since the beginning of the season the
result s of all this effort have begun to show
themselves. The team traveled to Walla
Walla to compete in a tournament at Whitman College and placed fourth out of eight
teams.
The first game found Evergreen facing

,
Whitman with the result being a \-\ tie .
Evergreen dominated the game but gave up
a late goal after new recruit Ron Cavalier
scored the Geoducks only goal early in the
contest.
Later that day the Bi-valves went up
against the Cougars of Washington State but
lost by a score of 4-2 . The 'Ducks gave up
an own goal two minutes into the contest and
despite a strong effort, they could never quite
catch up. The Evergreen goals were scored
by Rob Becker and Jon Perdman.
Day two saw the Geoducks go in as heavy
underdogs to an outstanding Seattle University side and Evergreen came out on top by
the score of 2-\ . That put the Geoducks into the game that would decide 3rd place in
the tourney as they faced one of the (op
ranked team~, Gonzaga University . The
Geoducks gave a strong defensive performance but were unable to put the ball in the
net and eventually lost the game 1-0, placing the Greener squad 4th out of eight tearns .
Evergreen's strong performance in the
season opening tourney indicates the
dramatic improvement in men's soccer at
Evergreen. They are obviously not to be
taken lightly and could end up surprising a10t
of folks before the season is over.

My Neighbor
/ will always be a child Small and afraid;
Imprisoned by the fear that is my own ignorance.
The other day when / came up the stairs to my apartment,
I saw a stack of books setting on the bannister.
They were cook books, with titles like:
I will always be a child Seeking and growing;
Reaching ever upward - thrilled with each ascending step.
Belty Crocker's Cook Book
Cooking Made Easy
Cooking For The Single Man
Oriental Cooking
The Art of Baking, and others too.
I am forever terrified There is so much / don't know.
I am constantly overjoyed Each discovery is a new dimension.
Yesterday J feared the rain.
J was cold, wet and alone.
The man who lives across the hall, the one who wears the beret,
looked at me suspiciously when he came out his door and saw me looking at the
titles of his books.
" Look like good books. "

and steak too .
