Demonstrators marched from Sylvester
Park to the Capitol Building to show their
solidarity with the people of Central
America Saturday.
About 350 people me{ in a freezing
drizzle to listen to six speakers and music .
The speakers represented diverse
groups. In a testimony of her experiences
in EI Salvador, Lydia Cruz of The Committee of Christian Salvadoran Refugees
spoke through a translator about attempts
to form a union in her country. She and
her husband were arrested for being involved. When her husband resisted arrest
he was shot in the back of the head.
Patricia Serpas, another woman from
EI Salvador, also spoke with a translator.
She represented The Association of
Salvadoran Women and appeal led to
women everywhere to work for peace and
justice in Central America.
Hal Medrano, a student at Evergreen
who attended the rally and speaks
Spanish, said the translations were accurate and well done.
Veterans were represented by Steve
Clements of Vets for Non-Intervention in
Central America. A Vietnam vet himself,
Clements warned of the similarities bet-

ween U.S. involvement in EI Salvador
and in Vietnam.
Native Americans
were also
represented. Jane Martin of the Northwest Indian Women's Circle spoke
emotionally about the similarities between
the treatment of indigenous p€;oples of
North America and Central Ame ri ca. In
a wavering and choked voice she described prison conditions in the U.S. that do
not allow Native Americans to practice
their religion .
Robbie Stern of the August 27th Committee and the Rev. Paul Jeffreys of
Agape Community also spoke.
Entertainment was provided by the
Suddenly Naked Arts Collective and the
Three Peace Band. The Tulalip Tribal
Coast Pow-wow Dancers, led by Johnny
Moses, performed mid-way through.
The rally lasted four hours, too long
for a lot of participants . It was peaceful,
opposed only by an older man in a
military hat carrying a large American
flag and a sign that said, "Freedom
through Strength." He stood in Sylvester
Park but disappeared before the march .
The rally was sponsored by the Central
American Action Committee of Thurston
County and emceed by Beth Hartman.
On October 12th, hundreds of Lawrence,
Kansas residents watched their hometown
devastated by the effects of a nuclear
explosion.
What those Kansans, over 1500 of them,
saw was an advance screening of the madefor-television movie, "The Day After," a
vivid portrayal of what life could become in
the northeastern Kansas university town after
a nuclear bomb is exploded on nearby Kansas City.
The film, which is schedu led to air this
Sunday evening at 8 p.m. on ABC, has been
described as "powerful , intense, and
devatating " by those who have seen advance
showings or pirated copies of it.
The movie's powerful emotional content
has generated considerable cont roversy and
apprehension concerning its possible effects
on the American pUblic.
As we go to press, ABC is reported to have
sold only half of the advertising time
avai labl e for the two-hour film. Corporate
sponsors have apparently bought commercial time during the first half of the film, the
build-up to the explosion, but are unwilling
to risk having their products associated with
Armageddon. One T. V. industry joke suggests that the canned food industry would
be the perfect sponsor for the last half of the
movie.
It is rumored that the Reagan administration is putting a great deal o f pressure on
ABC to keep the film off the air . Supporters
of the President's "peace through strength "
policy have charged that th e network ha s
joined t he ca use of the nudear freeLc movement by making a film that "sensationalizes
the bsue m,d jJfomO(CS h y:,t~ri:.l ."
Among those who have already viewed
"T he Day After" is Rev. Jerry f'alwell. In
a n interview thi s past Sunday on CI3S\ "60
Minutes," the Moral Majority leader indicated that he would ask ABC for e4ua l
tim e to rebut what he felt was a case of emotional manipulation. Falwe ll also implied
that spo nsors of the film might be targeted
for sanct io ns by his organization.
Aside from the outrage of some at the
emo ti o n-generating nature of "The Day
After," there is also a st rong concern that
the movie may cause mass feelings of despair
and hopelessness. As a precaution, ABC
plans to preface the broadcast wit h a
disclaimer stating that the movie s hould not
be seen by c hildren under the age of twelve .
Steps have been taken to deal with the
emotional flood expected to follow the film's
airing. Groups around the country have
organized community meetings to bring people togethe r to express their feelings a nd to
sea rch for useful ways to c hannel those
feelings.
Locally, a group called "Olympia Com munity Meeting: The Day Before" will hold
public discuss ion s this Monday evening to
"explore and share" the emotion s felt by
those who view "The Day After" on Sunday. The 7 p.m. dessert pot lu ck will stress
that " it is sti ll the day before and there is
still time to prevent annihilation," according
to the group's literature.

S&A Board: Who's on it and wh
.
I,
By Ann Seidner
Here is an introduction to the Services and
Activ iti es Board as they hear requests for
mid-year al locat ions.
Ei leen Brady is the Services and Activities
(S&A) Coordinator, which is a studen t/ staff
position. She is not a Board member, but
rather, "A staff member to the Board. I do
a lot of th e behind the scenes work," she
says . Brady facilitates a ll S&A Board
meetings and is responsible for the Board's
orientation and for teaching th e budget
writing process . She does all the paper work
associated wit h money allocation and she
spends much of her time talking with budget
represe nt at ives.
Brady ha s been at Evergreen for three
years, st ud yi ng organ izational development,
theory and management, and gro up
dynamics. She got involved with S&A as a
budget coordina tor last year and moved on
to hecome the Board's coordinator. She and
her seve n-month o ld co-part ner Caitlen
would lik e to see some improvements in S&A
this quarter: namely, "a tighter and less
lengthy allocation process that encourages
team work between budget representatives,
Board members and other interested
students , and improved communication between the Board and budget representatives."
Brady is also a Board member o f the
Olympia Food Coop and a counselor for the
" Thurston County Draft and Military
Co unseling Board."
Michael Hall is the Advisor to the S&A
Board, a job he labels "consuming, demanding, exhilarating, challenging and
frustrating." Hall was an S&A Board
member while a student in the 1973-74 school
year. He brings to his "multi-faceted" position a multi-faceted perspective, not only
spring my friends who were budget coordinators would come from the Spring Allocation bitching," Riener says. "I heard their
problems and their concerns, so 1 went to
some (S&A) meetings to see if any changes
could be made." Now a Board member,
Riener is working toward change. "I want
to clear up the misconceptions about the
Board. Coordinators think that the Board
has a lot of power, but that's not really true.
Decisions are made by consensus."
Jim Hartley has been an Evergreener since
the summer of 1983. H is initial motivation
for becoming a Board member was to represent the housing residents . "Many new
residents are young, and need representation." Hartley is the Housing Activities
Director as well, and so addresses this concern with more than one approach. He is also
a member ex officio of the Production
Clearance Board, and is involved with the
new "Performers Unlimited" group. Hartley
would like to see "the minimum wage [paid
to budget coordinators] made higher." This
would attract more work /stu dy people, he
says , who now get paid more by working
elsewhere.
Jay Saucier is a first year Evergreen stu:
dent. He spent two years at Seattle Central
Community College. Contrasting Seattle
Central with Evergreen, Jay says, "Other
schools train you, this one challenges you,
makes you think." Jay is on the S&A Board
because he wants "to see how the school
works. I want to be active. And somewhere
along the line," he says, "I'll be in a position of having to approach a Board myself,
and I wnat to know how it works."
Prentiss Mapp is a Board Alternate , first
in line to be a Board member if a position
opens. Though involved in S&A for the first
time this quarter, he is already an active participant in all S&A meetings.
Ann Seidner is the minutes-taker for the
S&A Board meetings. A fourth year
Evergreen student, Seidner became involv,ed in S&A this quarter because she knew
herself to be among the majority of students
ignorant about Evergreen's student government, and wanted to change that status. She
enjoys her backstage, but crucial job. "Student lethargy is well worth overcoming," she
says. "I would encourage those still lagging
to join in something, anything, of interest."
Re-entry women find help in support group
By Janet O'Leary
women Tuesday from 12-1 p.m.
Last week's menu for the Re-Entry
Women's Brown Bag Lunch consisted of the
shar ing of campus resources, dissolutionment proceedings and the Affirmative Action Proposal.
As it turned out, the central focus of the
discussion was the fears, goals and ideals of
women returning to education after time
with their families or careers .
Rebecca Wright, Affirm ative Action a ttorney for TESC, led the group of nine
The program began with introductions.
Each woman told what program she was in,
described career goals and discussed whether
the re-ent ry process was easier or harder than
what she had expected.
Often repeated comments were: "I have
no confidence in myself," "I don't have
much confidence in my academic abilities,"
and "School is totally unstructured as compared to the work world, which was easier"

from school for ten, fifteen and twenty years.
One said, "I can't shake the nagging feeling
that all those years spent cooking, cleaning,
and chauffering might as well have been lost
years." Another said, "My family does not
want me to return [to school]."
The women contrasted their fears with
Evergreen's academic and extra-curricular
st ructure that made re-entry "a marvelous
experience." Said one, "The benefits of a
sma ller college that is geared toward experience is wonderful." Said artother, "The
close-knit groups, the help from the advisors,
teachers, and staff members dissolves alot of
fears. "
Sitting and conversing with a group of
women who have the sarriefears, needs and
desires, appeared to establish a close bond.
The 'take heart. You are not alone' attitude expressed by Wright and Kathie
DuPriest the facilitator of the group, showed
encouragement. They explained that almost
every woman now trying to scale the re-entry
barrier between home, school, and job has
felt exactly the same way. So once did the
thousands of other women who have successfully made the jump. "If you could catch
anyone of them at an honest moment, she
would probably admit that sometime,
somewhere, she was hit with: What am I doing here. " said DuPriest.
This group is an ongoing support group
for adult women students sponsored by the
Women's Center. The center is open in the
early evening Monday and Thursday in addition to daytime hours . They meet every
Tuesday from noon-l p.m . for informal rap
sessions as well as speakers on specific topics .

"
Low Power Television (LPTV) is the firs~
new broadcast medium to be authorized by
the Federal Communications Commission
(FCC) in over twenty years. As with cable
television, LPTV was created as a retransmitter of broadcast signals for the fledgling
television industry . First developed in
Oregon in 1948, it has survived in
geographically isolated communities from
Alaska to upstate New York. Recent FCC
deregulation, however, has thrust LPTV into the telecommunications limelight as a way
to not only serve rural areas and small
neighborhoods, but specialized audiences in
urban areas with programming ranging from
minority issues to experimental applications.
And if a group of local businessmen are successful, the Olympia area may see its first
LPTV station by 1985.
The Capital Development Company
(CDC), developers of South Sound Mall, has
applied to the FCC for a license to install an
LPTV station in Lacey. John Donaldson, .
Senior Vice President for CDC, says that
they have also applied for licenses in Aberdeen and Centralia, hoping to eventually
develop a regional Southwest Washington
network that will share programming of
common interest. Limited to only 1/ IOOth
the maximum power available to standard
UHF stations, Donaldson anticipates that
CDC's LPTV station will have a broadcast
radius of up to 15 miles, depending on

Lynn Garner in her new shop on O/y's Westside .
By Allison C. Green
Rich corduroys in earthtones, raw silks in
burgundy and deep purple, imported coltons
of dusky orange with blue and lavender
stripes : this fantasy is the reality of Lady
Lynn's Natural Fiber Fabrics.
Lynn Garner, ex-Evergreen student and on
leave from her position as Director of Student Activities, opened the sewing store in
July, the only Olympia shop that emphasizes
natural fabrics.
It was Garner's lifetime fantasy. "I've got
enough fabric at home to have started a
business a long time ago," she says.
The store, at 335 Division on the Westside,
offers notions, patterns, fabrics and an
alterations service. So far the sales of fabric
aren't as brisk as Garner would like them to
be . But the alterations and sewing service is
so busy her mother has been helping out a
couple days a week.
Garner came to Evergreen as a student in
1972. After graduating in 1974 she began
working in the student activities office, eventually becoming Director of Student Activities. Mike Hall now holds her position as
she takes a year leave of absence to explore
the viability of living out her fantasy.
Having spent most of her working life in
education, including at Ft. Steilacoom Community College and Franklin Pierce High
School, Garner took a big ri sk entering
business for the first time last summer .
She misses the contact with students and
co-workers but enjoys the peacefulness of
working alone in her small shop, ~ew ing
clothes, l1elping customers and being surrounded by fabrics. "It's a very calm space
to work in," she says .
Students may remember Ze, her three year
old son who worked with her at Evergreen
his first year. (Ze means Joe in Portuguese.)
He has stayed in daycare so his life can remain somewhat stable while she adjusts to
the risks and responsibilities of her own
business. He sometimes spends an afternoon
at the shop, playing in the children's section,
and Garner hopes he will think of it as his
space, too, as he grows older.
In an effort to offer specifically natural
fabrics, Garner will be phasing out her
polyester blends and bringing in Indian
gauzes, more cottons and silks, and wool
plaids in earthtones this January .
By that time she will also be ready to
decide whether to continue her business or
return to Evergreen.
In the midst of her fantasy world, Garner
has no time to sew for herselr. But -she has
picked a pattern and material for a dress to
wear to a C hamber of Commerce banquet
comi ng up. She has been making an effort
to establish a relationship with the Olympia
business community by goin g to meetings
lik e these.
If colors like "Dusty Lilac" don't entice
you in, maybe you'd at least like to see
another Greener making good in Olympia.

While potentially offering service to much
of the metropolitan area, such a station could'
also benefit parts of rural Thurston County
not currently served by cable.
LPTV enjoys few Federal regulations. '
There is no minimum l]umber of broadcasting hours, no restriction on program
sources, no signal quality standards, and so
on. While the actual amount of programming on CDC's station will be " limited by
advertising revenues," Donaldson suggests
the station will offer " local sports events,
municipal coverage, public-access programming, interviews, rebroadcasting of existing
signals, and leased programs, such as
movies." The extent of local programming,
however, may be the key factor in the station's success and survival.
One issue before the Olympia City Council as it revises its cable television ordinance
is a requirement that cable operators carry
LPTV stations that offer a certain percentage of local programming. In the words of
Donaldson, "cablization [of our signal] is extremely important from a marketing standpoint." Yet as the City moves ahead with its
own plans to assist in the development of a
community cable-access facility , the question
is raised of whether enough is actually happening in Thurston County to support two
separate channels devoted to local programming. While Donaldson states that "we're
' involved in the Olympia area, it's our home,
and we think we have an idea of the local
programming needs," he admits that "I
don't think in a free-enterprise situation that
. two stations could exist."
Only time will determine the best method
of serving the community's telecommunications needs. While LPTV offers access to
isolated parts of the county, and freedom
from the regulatory uncertainty concerning
municipal control of cable programming, its
management would remain in private hands.
j A community cable-access facility, while
potentially more responsive to the needs of
local community organizations, could be
subject to pending Federal legislation, and
would certainly require an extensive and ongoing commitment of time and energy from
all of those involved. For the time being,
however, CDC must wait for the FCC to address their application, a process not expected for at least another two years. In the
words of Donaldson, "[LPTV] is not a n infant industry, it' s a pregnant one. It's not
even been born."

During her busy lifetime, Irene' has worked as a secretary, reporter, magazine writer,

free lance writer while daughter Chieron was
small. At the University of Washington Irene

Laurie is a Registered Nurse who works
three days a week at St. Peters Hospital and

time just for herself. Her husband David and
her children are all cooperating to help
Laurie return to school.
Laurie received her nursing diploma in a
three-year course while working in a hospital.
That was over 20 years ago. Since she did
not graduate from an 'accredited' educational institution, Laurie is seeking her BA

Evergreen. "It is important that the family

Peer counselors Dens Williams , Hisami Yoshida' and Yahya Ali Bahar.
By Gretchan Mattila
The Third World Coalition has announced the beginning of a Third World peer support group. It will serve as a bridge and communication point between the services offered by the Third World Coalition and the
Counseling Center. It is currently staffed by
three paraprofessional Third World students:
Hisami Yoshida, Yahya Bahar, and Dens
Williams; with one opening left for an interested work study student. These three will
be providing outreach and support to
TESC's Third World and International student
community.
Some Third World students feel they are
not able to find the support they need at
TESC's counseling center. Both counseling
center staff and Third World staff say that
many Caucasians and people of color have
not been exposed to each other's differences
enough to work together comfortably.
Richard Rowan of the Counseling Center
commented that "For some Caucasian
counselors there is not a lot of awareness
about cultural di versity."
April West-Baker, Third world Coalition
Coordinator, agrees with Rowan 's statement
saying, "Counselors are trained to work
without addressing cultural differences.
Training in counseling people of different
cultures might help."
The Third World Peer Support Group will
assist students with:
Alcohol/substance abuse support
-Academic problems
-Interpersonal relationships
-Personal finances
-Problem solving
-Anxiety
-Loneliness
-Frustration
-Depression
-Campus orientation
-Activities information
-Crisis Intervention

A student, dubbing herself •A Greener
Granny,' was quick to offer information
about persons returning to school after extended absences. "Delighted with your column - there's more than one of us at
TESC," Irene's note read.
"I'm in. my second year at Evergreen, a
56-year-old granny and loving it. My friend
[Laurie] is 40, in the upside down program.
This is her last Quarter."
. Irene said she met Laurie in the Coordinated Studies program 'Ways of Knowing'
during Fall Quarter 1982. This fall they
decided to register together in the' American
Culture History - 1830-1865' so they could
continue their friendship.
Both women said they returned to higher
education for the luxury of doing something
for themselves - it was a necessity . "I really needed to do something for myself - to
start and complete one project," said Laurie.
Irene said "I hadn't had time to think
about things in depth." She had been too
busy raising two sons (J ohn and Scott) and
two daughters (Teresa and <::;hieron). A
homemaker, wffe and mother, Irene dropped out of the University of Washington
when she was carrying Chieron . "I stayed
in school until I couldn't fit into the student
chairs with their curved arms," she said.
That was 22 years ago.
This is Irene's second year at Evergreen
and she is going for her B.A . in the
Humanities. After having been a single
parent for 10 years, she remarried. Irene and

Reader questions
speakers credentials
To the Editor:
The rally on Tuesday, Nov. I st, raised
some questions in my mind about the
qualifications of the speakers and the effect
of rallies upon our gov~rnment.
Speakers at the rally claimed to have
studied the government of Grenada but how
many of them studied the government of
Bishop's assassins? Even faced with the prospect of losing their tuition and not being
able to attend medical school in the United
States, how many students complained about
being rescued?
Hopefully, we all agree that invasion of
a sovereign nation is wrong, but so is taking
hostages and that is what those students
would have been.
1 do not think that any of us here at
Evergreen, are naive enough to think that the
United States is perfect, but it is way in front
of second. Someone like Eldridge Cleaver
can confirm that fact.
Please let's work together (0 build a better America not to tear it apart .
Thank you
Ken Clark
To the Editor:
I wish to th ank the Cooper Point Journal
and all its staff for their unbiased, balanced
journalism through (he past Senate race.
I would also like to take this opportunity
to thank the many volunteers who contr ibuted a great deal of time and energy to
the Mike Lowry for Senate campaign here
at Evergreen. We all did an excellent job:
distributing Oyers and making posters, inviting Mike to camp us to speak to the
sudents and faculty, and holding a successful
pre-election day rally. Although the results
on November 8th indicated Mike's election
loss, we certainly made a very reasonable
showing.
However, it is st ill important that we continue to be involved with our democratic
system, our policy makers, and the issues
facing us today. It is especially important
that we become even more aware of how Dan
Evans votes, which will determine the
political and economic direction of this state
and the country.
Again, thank you all for the great show
of support and devotion to this Senate
campaign.
Sincerely,
Janine M. Thome

Comparable Worth arbitrary?
To the EdItor:
Your Cooper Point Journal article is the
·only one I've read that presents what] call
the "other s·ide" of the comparable worth
matter.
Much has been written about jobs traditionally held by women. In this context, I
think traditionally must mean whatever one
wishes for the following are some jobs that
have been either exclusively or predominately
male: typist, stenographer, secretary, bank
teller, bookkeeper, the latter going back in
history at least to the time of Bob Cratchet
in Dicken's The Christmas Carol.
Even well before the so-called women's
movement which stressed equality, women
had largely - in some cases such as bank
teller - nearly exclusively replaced men .
There were several reasons for this, including
necessity during World War II, but the
predominate one was simply that women
work for less . But don't think for a minute
that men got rich on those jobs. Bank tellers
have traditionally been one of the most
underpaid of all white collar jobs.
I've read that the official definition of
"predominately" in this matter has to do
with any type of state employment in which
70 percent or more of the incumbents are
women. I've not read an explanation of how
this percentage was arrived at. To me, if we
go this general route, 50 percent would make
more sense. But once we select a percentage,
if we must indeed use this method of defining job discrimination against women in
terms of pay, then it does follow, as I think
it well could be argued, that whenever the
percentage falls below that [established]
percentage there is no longer discrimination
and so any addit ional monies for such jobs
should cease to be given . Of more importance, however, as mentioned, is that 70 percent figure .
Once it is determined that regardless of
any other factor except the foregoing that
women in certain job categories should be
paid more, then I'm not sure I see the
desirability of going to such a bother to
justify, by means of a job classification
method of any kind, that fact and the
amount they should get. Just give it to them;
no justification is needed regarding
methodology once it is determined that the
money is owing.
As regards methodology in classifying
jobs, there are a rather large number of
systems, all based on the classifier's judgement - an art, if you will, when properly
and competently done. It was outside my experience when I was classifying jobs during
state employment, but had anyone asked me
to put together a classification method point system or whatever - that would
achieve a predetermined result, I could have
done so, not that I would have for I'd have
resigned first. I do not mean to say that this
is what was done in this case but the method
used was a radical departure from the
methods used by the classifiers employed by
all governmental agencies and private

And indeed, The State Department of Personnel classified and continues to classify its
jobs on a se·x-blind basis as well as with its
eyes closed as to race, creed, color, etc. An·y

classifies the job irrespective of who is in it
and how well or poorly the job is being done,
such things being matters to be attended to

be decided by some means other than prostituting the art of job (in our language,

as well as filled ones) classification.
But the major curiosity I have has to do
with the Washington State Federation of
State, County, and Municipal Employees,
which filed the .. . suit. That is the outfit that
wrote the State's merit law and got it passed
by means of initiative in 1960 after successive
legislatures refused to civil service legislation.
That initiative, No. 207, then mandated, and
still does, that wages be set based on prevailing rates as determined by surveys of both
private and public employers. The Federation, over the years, conducted many of its
own salary surveys to help get more money
for its membership and they argued
numerous individual and class action increases for selected job classes before the
Personnel Board. Now, however, it
repudiates its own methodology and law in
order to correct what it says is an inequity,
one, if it does in fact exist, is a result of its
own doing. Why? It may be that, because
membership has fallen off as more women
less inclined to be a part of organized labor
join the labor force, the Federation hopes to
buy them, so to speak, by means of comparable worth, but this is just speculation.
I could perhaps expound on this subject
at greater length but will mention just one
more aspect of it: if salaries of certain classes
are to be increased by the 20 percent I read
about, or even by as little as 10 percent, then
they will equal or exceed that of their immediate supervisors. What is to be done
then? Raise the pay of the supervisor commensurately and his pay will then equal or
exceed that of his boss and so on ad infinitum. Beyond that, the various classification systems group similar classes into one,
not because this is necessarily good practice,
but because it is a practical necessity, otherwise the present 2000 job classes in the state
system would increase beyond the point that
any rational salary system could be used . (I
speak here of job families such as account
clerk, bookkeeper, accountant, auditor,
bank examiner and so on.) There are already
too many classes in such families. But at
least, until this Federation suit, they not only have been generally accepted by employees
but, indeed, any attempt to remove one or
two classes from a family and give it its own
salary identity was generally vigorously opposed by the Federation, among others, if
the salary went up or down as a result, on
the ground that "an historic relationship"
was being done [harm].
I n addition to the reasons listed in your
article, comparable worth, so called, suffers
from other failings. I'll not list them, for that
would be unnecessary . Rather I suggest that
if we wish to maintain the race, sex , religion,
etc . blind nature of classification
methodology, we could go to a pure
qualifications method. By this method, a ll
jobs requiring, say, a high school diploma
or its equivalent, would have the same salary
sca le. Admittedly, this would not solve the
problem of prevailing rate inequities, if there
is indeed such, inherent in surveyi ng salaries
paid by other employers so lon g as such
employers use the market approach in paying its employees, not that much of that in
a pure form exists in these days of pervasive
unionization. But no matter - to me at least;
I could accept even an arbitrary system,
whereby the state says it has only X dollars
for salaries. that the base sa lary for thl! class
with th e lowest qualifications will be $Y, the
top salary $Z, with all others falling in between in either an arbitrary or negotiated
manner .
Apologies for the length of this .

Tree removal from
OrganiC Farm feared
To the Editor:
It has recently come to my attention that
there is a proposal for "Tree Removal from,
and the subsequent management of, the twoacre area south of the Main Gardens at the
TESC Organic Farm." The proposal states
that some ninety-one trees be cut (seventyfive large Douglas Firs included) in order to
allow more sunlight to reach the gardens and
to provide an agroforestry research and
development area. At first glance the proposal seems reasonable. However, the long
range projections of both management of the
cleared area and funding for the project are
sketchy at best. Apparently, the proposal has
been in the works for almost a year though
most of the campus knows nothing about it.
Several questioos come to mind:
- Is this the best way to allow more sunlight
to the gardens?
- In addition to the $2000.00 needed to
fence the 2-acres, what expenses (short and
long range) will be incurred managing the additional 2-acres?
- Can the Farm with its present budget
limitations seriously consider such an undertaking at this time?
- Will this newly clear-cut area (the stumps
will be left in the ground) be an eye sore for
years?
- Might the energy involved in such an
endeavor be used more beneficially to
beautify and enhance The Organic Farm at
its present size?
These are only a few of the questions that
need answering be/ore the first tree is cut.
It was stated in the Campus Land Use Plan
that:
Probably the greatest social demand
from the student perspective is to leave
the campus in a natural state. A
wilderness environment offers an
esthetically pleasing atmosphere which
provides relief from the urban-type environment offered by the main campus core. Under pressures of increasing urbanization in the Cooper Point
area, the Evergreen campus will
become increasingly important as a
wildlife refuge.
It is with all this in mind that I write the
CP J. The time has come (and not a moment
too soon, the Timber Fallers are close) for
the campus and community to become aware
of this proposal and be informed of the
details and options . Maybe the CP J could
run an extensive report in the next issue? I
for one, want to be absolutely sure that we
are doing the right thing before even one tree
is cut.
Sincerely,
T' c
Erickson
P .S. I have been a community gardener at
the Farm for 2 '12 years, the Farm's bee
keeper and am presently serving as Com,munity Rep on the Farm Board.
To the Editor:
The members of the 1984 program would
like to publicly exp ress our thanks to the entire Evergreen community for the help and
cooperation extended to us prior to, and during our all-campus production of Wednesday Wizardry, held November 2.
This day featured seminars, films, lectures,
and other less definable events, none of
which would have been possible without a
cons iderable amount of support from faculty, staff and students. The Offices of Security, Custodial Services, and Facilities were of
particular assistance. Their willingness to
work with us and to overlook some unique
occurences deserves a heartfelt thanks from
all who participated in the act ivities of
Wednesday Wizardry.
The 1984 program's next Wednesday
Wizardry is scheduled for January II, 1984.
We invite everyone to participate in our
planned events concentrating on George
Orwell's book 1984.

Is U.S. foreign policy good or evil
Cou n tries
grateful for
American
intervention
By David Quackenbush
As American troops withdraw from a
liberated and grateful Grenada, and preparations are made for free elections, some reflections on these and other events around the
world are in order. The most striking conclusion to be drawn from events in Argentina, Lebanon, and Grenada, and their
responses here in America, is the almost total
lack of enthusiasm, from the prophets of
compassion, for the once-hallowed concepts
of elections and negotiations. It seems that
nothing disillusions those who claim to speak
for the rights of peasants and other oppressed folks quite so much as the prospect that
they might actually get the chance to vote for
themselves.
In Argentina, a major landmark has been
passed, with the successful election of a
civilian government and the likelihood of a
speedy transition from military rule. Those
who are so quick to criticize the United States
for its support of "acceptable" dictators
simply cannot come to grips with this event,
because it illustrates that there is a difference
between authoritarian governments, however
repressive, and the totalitarian revolutionary
governments who claim to speak for the peopie. The fact is that military governments do
sometimes give up their power, while Cubanstyle governments never have or will . As a
result, when elections do occur in Argentina,
the silence here is deafening.
Regarding Lebanon, the Geneva conference is underway, although temporarily
on hold. The outcome of this conference is
doubtful, but the sincerity of the participants
is unquestioned. The frantic, and largely
unmentioned, United States diplomatic activity which was essential to arrange this conference of the internal actors may yet enable
the crisis in Lebanon to be resolved without
an all-out war. ] would expect that those
critics of United States policy in the region
who so loudly insist on negotiated solutions
without the use of American Marines would
be loudly encouraging the conferees. Instead,
it is the "militaristic" use of Marines as
peacekeepers which is under attack.
The sight of warring factions actually attempting of talk things out is sobering. It is
a test of whether sincerity and communication can prevail in an atmosphere of violence
and hatred - and those who condemn the
presence of the U.S. Marines who are attempting to maintain order in Lebanon during this crucial time do well to focus instead
on Geneva. They would also do well to consider the motivation of the Iranian, Libyan
and Syrian attempts to disrupt those talks .
Henry Kissinger has said that the success of
the Geneva negotiations will depend on
whether the balance of forces on the ground
in Lebanon can be maintained; whether the
Syrians and their foster-parents in Moscow
can be convinced that they cannot outwait
the commitment of the Multinational Force.
As the suicide bombings mount, it will
become clear in the weeks ahead, for those
to whom it is not already clear, who really
supports the idea of peaceful resolutions; and
who does not.
Finally, and most obvious, is Grenada .
There was a time when people from both
sides of the political spectrum could agree
that free, internationally supervised elections
were the highest goal of the foreign affairs
of honorable countries. The Soviet Union
showed its position on the matter in Eastern
Europe after World War II, among many
other times. Soon we will have such elections
in Grenada . Those who wish to let the people speak will have their wish .
I don't think, however, that any elections
in Grenada will satisfy the critics of the
American invasion. Self-determination is a
great goal, it appears, until it is delivered to
people who were denied it by the priesthood
of social engineering - at which point it
seems to become boring. The most recent example of this phenomenon was the
Salvadoran elections: internationally supervised and participated in by every Salvadoran
who wasn't .successfully intimidated by the
November 17, 1983
guerillas. Once completed, they dropped immediately into the abyss of non-existence.
The government of EI Salvador is routinely
referred to as a dictatorship, as if the
painstaking and embryonic democratic process in that country simply didn't exist. ] expect that even if Mr. Duarte wins the
presidential race the government of EI
Salvador will still be referred to as a dictatorship, until it capitulates to the would-be
Marxist dictators who will set up a
Nicaraguan-style dictatorship which will
thenceforth be referred to as a liberation
government. Doublespeak indeed!
As poor, naive Maurice Bishop said, while
he still could, "we will have no elections,
because the people have chosen their leader."
The reception afforded by Grenadians to the
U.S. Marines showed what the Grenadians
really wished to choose - freedom and selfdetermination. And they clearly recognize
liberators when they see them . It is time for
the left to stop pretending that freedom,
economic or otherwise, can exist apart from
democracy. Messrs . Ortega, Castro, and
their progressive buddies in other slave-states
understand the importance of elections,
that's why they don't have any . Argentina
and Lebanon are still a long way from home,
but the people of Grenada now have a
powerful friend, and it will be enough. Them
that have eyes, let them watch Grenada, as
freedom returns to a liberated people.

Grenada; An
unspeakable
evil
By David L Hitchens
Grenada bothers me on many levels - and
the swirling debates over our correctness of
action reveal only the tip of the iceberg. Any
Grenada-style military action gives me a
heightened sense of danger, and prepares
public opinion for increased military spending which hones our military instruments
to stilleto-sharp "readiness ." The moral,
legal, philosophic, and actual questions
about such action are vital, real, and immediate - and I do not intend my ruminations as a way of down-playing their importance - BUT, there is something else afoot
which bothers, even frightens me beyond the
present debates. Behind the immediate, strident claims and counter -claims about our action [ sense a foulness which gives me coldsweats and chills; a prosaic, mundane evil
of such magnitude and simplicity it is extremely easy to overlook its presence . It is
something Beryl Crowe (TESC faculty
member) likes to call sur-Evil.
Consider, for a moment, the relationship
in time between the Beirut bombing and the
Grenada invasion. Consider the outrage and
anger of the American people over the
slaughter of the Marines in Lebanon be/ore
the Grenada invasion . Now consider the sudden lack of anger and outrage about Beirut
in the aftermath of the Grenada operation.
The psychic, emotional intensity which
greeted the awful news from Beirut has been
suddenly transformed into popular acclaim
and near joy by the landings in Grenada.
While the bodies are still being pieced
together and identified in Beirut, fourteen
U.S. Congressmen return from Grenada and
tell us they love us in the Caribbean. Even
more stunning, a large percentage of the
American popUlation sides with the official
position which kept the press and media out
of Grenada for the first few days. Ronald
Reagan flies to Japan, Nancy Reagan shops
for Christmas gifts while there - quietly, the
body count from Beirut mounts.
Friends, the Grenada Invasion (yes, let's
put the event in capital letters now) was a
masterstroke of such psychic, emotional, evil
magnitude it boggles my mind. Ronald
Reagan alone is just not sinart enough, not
cynical enough, not tough-minded enough to
think this one up on his own. BUT,
SOMEBODY close to him is .... Somebody
seized on the timing, the moment, the possible impact, and the malleable potential in the
Beirut outrage and saw how to turn it away,
and make it work for other ends. One of
those advisors recognized the opportunity
Beirut afforded, and capitalized upon it.
Whoever thought up Grenada knew how to
turn the best instincts of the American peo- ·
pie against themselves - the shock, horror,
outrage, sadness, sickness, empathy, willpower, determination, anger and power inherent in this national consciousness have
been channeled and manipulated in such a
way to stun, or at least blunt, their natural,
normal outlet. We have been had, but had
in a way which clouds the essential, vital issue
behind the relationship between these events.
I shudder to think of the prestige and influence now in the hands of whoever thought
up the Grenada action. Even worse, what if
the insight was not the work of one individual? What if the event were the brainchild of a sudden, collective inspiration by
the entire National Security Council?
My mind pleads for a vacation when I
think of THAT possibility.
One more consideration: within a short
forty-eight hour period the emotional
response to the murder of over two hundred
men on a peace-keeping mission was redirected to supporting an act of war. Friends,
that is sur-evil in its most staid, conservative,
three-piece-suited, reasonable guise - which
makes it foul beyond acceptance; evil beyond
belief.

, My favorite part of the book is the story
of "Brian and Sheila in Psychotherapy,
featuring their loyal dog Lumpy." Brian (a
garbled "brain"?) represents the irrational
id. "Sheila, have you seen the Butane Torch?
I want to scare the mailman when he
comes." Sheila is alternately sarcastic and
sincere, upset with his antics. Their relationship appears on the rocks. After
psychotherapy, though, they come up with
a good solution. I won't give it away, but
it has something to do with Lumpy's brain.

What's the most important part of the
body? The brain, of course. And who decided that the brain is the most important part?
This self-same organ: the brain. You have
to wonder at the egotism involved .
These thoughts are stolen from Tom Robbins' brain, out of his book Even Cowgirls
Get the Blues. They seem appropriately
revived now at the publication of
Brainstorm. Remember B. Kliban's cat
books? And all the tacky copies done in the
same format (A Hundred Ways to 'Kill a
Good Joke)? A couple of brains called Jim
Blashfield and Gideon Bosker have come out
with one that is truly funny .
The cover of Brainstorm shows a family
sitting down to pink, rubbery-looking
chicken at tv trays, while bubblegum-colored
brains splat against the window. It's black
humor: Zippy the Pinhead from a Freudian
perspective.
Zippy the Pinhead is an underground comic by Bill Griffith that laughs at American
materialism. It comes to mind in Brainstorm
when a brain entices an early cave human
with, "You could invent styrofoam." Or on
the third page where a simple life form says,
"Chee-tos. Got to eat them now!" The more
advanced life form says, "Eat some now, eat
some in August."
Right off the book becomes mostly concerned with psychology. It appeals to the ir·
rational, emotional right brain side of all of
us and pokes fun at the left brain guilt we
feel about it.

The Thurston County Draft Counseling
Center (TCDC), founded in 1980, is a nonprofit group which offers non-political information to all concerning draft registration, the draft, and the military. Glen Anderson, the president of the board and a
counselor for the TCDC, described its role
this way: "The idea of draft counseling is to
help folks think through this process. To
supply them the facility to investigate the options. It lets people know the background of
the draft and their full range of
choices ... . We're here to facilitate, not
influence. "
Although the TCDC is currently training
three additional counselors, they are not as
busy now as they were in 1980 when more
people were feeling affected by the reinstitution of draft registration and the threat of
the draft. Anderson feels that people all
around the country are avoiding the issue.
He explained how a single order to a com-
puter center in Illinois could have draft letters sent to the potential indyctees within 24
hours, with people actually being inducted
in two weeks time. "People could get drafted
suddenly and be in the Army very quickly
without knowing their rights."
Anderson stressed that those wanting to
, make a hardship, medical, or conscientious
objector claim need to be ready by taking
steps to do so today. He explained that high
school and college counselors, parents, attorneys, etc., need to be aware of the new
laws and regulations which are very different
from those in effect ten years ago. "Parents
need to explain to their children what their
options are, and do so from an informed
position." He reflected, "Being drafted is a
scary experience."
While draft registration is designed to
facilitate the implementation of the draft
should it become national policy, many feel
that the present registration will not improve
the Selective Service System's response time .
Last year, the Government Accounting Of-
fice issued a report which criticizes the present registration system because a large
number of the addresses, social security
numbers, and other pieces of information
that are needed have become obsolete or
have never been accurate to begin with.
Anderson pointed out that the government
has always underestimated the number of
non-registrants, at one time claiming less
than 200,000 resisters while issuing a report
which cited end of the year warning letters
being sent to 675,000 non-registrants. "It
was a common practice, when registration
was first required, for resisters to file under
the wrong address or social security
number," he added.
Anderson contends that few do not
register because they don't know that they
should. Instead, most of today's nonregistrants are conscientious objectors .

November 17, 1983
By Cliff Missen
Since the Solomon Amendment was put
into effect, hundreds of TESC students have
been put in the positon of having to certify
that they have registered for the draft before
being allowed to received financial aid. Many
have done so and are now receiving their
money. Some others have not and are now
needing to "go it alone" or drop out of
school. This has spawned a major conflict
between some students and community
members, who think that TESG should be
doing more to help these non-registrants and
protest the law, and some TESC administrators, who feel they are doing all they
can for what seems to them to be a very small
number of students.
TESC was notified in June that the school
would need to comply with the federal decisions to verify student compliance with the
Solomon Amendment. At that time the
Financial Aid office had already made most
of the financial aid awards for this fall, so
the computer was coded to hold the awards
for students until they returned a letter of
compliance. A letter was sent to all students
which Fovided them with a checklist by
which -to show that they had registered or
that they did not need to for certain official
reasons - being female or out of the age
range, for example. Conscientious objector
status was not listed. A follow-up letter was
sent July 8th to 124 persons who had not yet
responded, and the list dwindled down to 46
by mid-September.
Today, according to Georgette Chun,
Director of Financial Aid at TESC, there are
but seven who have not returned their compliance forms. Three are not coming to
school, two are attending but are paying their
own way, and two are officially on-leave.
"This registration requirement hasn't affected our students," says Chun. "I would
expect a much larger group [of nonregistrants) considering this school."
But Chun does point out that the statistics

Larry Stenberg defended this policy by explaining that the number of students known
to be in the situation of losing their aid for
non·registration was relatively few, thus the
school tried to reach the "hard cores" by
phone to offer the state and school aid.
"They've identified to us who they are .. .so

response." he says in reply to students who
claim suspicion of a Financial Aid/Selective

Stenberg points out that a lot of student
anger toward the draft registration is being
misprojected towards the Financial Aid office, " I don't know anyone more sensitive
and responsible than the people here in the
Financial Aid office . We all oppose it (the
Solomon Amendment} ... we think it is inappropriate." He continues to say, "We really
hope this is found to be unconstitutional. As
it is, we become adversaries to our own
students.
Stenberg a lso pointed out that TESC is a
relatively new school without the large endowments and scholarship funds that other
schools have, which makes even more difficult the task of finding alternative aid for
non-registrants. He stated that if the
Solomon Amendment is not found unconstitutional the school will have to find
some other forms of financial aid for
resisters.
For the time being, non-registrants who
would normally be eligible for aid should
visit the financial aid office. Students seeking spiritual counseling or general information can contact Innerplace. And all students
interested in helping to oppose the draft or
helping non-registrants are invited to attend
a NOCARD meeting on the first and third
Wednesday of each month . NOCARD can
be reached at 352-2597.

Booters end season
By Karen Denman
Sailing:
WWU sponsored the TlMM ANGSTEN
Eliminations in Bellingham, . Saturday,
November 5. Between a 3 hour calm, V. inch
hail stones, and squalls sporting 30 knot
winds' the Geoducks Sailing team only
managed a seventh place finish out of nine
places. The Greeners in their practice sessions
have not had the experience of sailing in
heavy breezes as they experienced Saturday
in Bellingham Bay.
While the major portion of the team was
in Bellingham, the Soling, a 27' racing sloop,
was placing first in a local race. The Soling
logged a 44 second winning margin over the
10Yz mile course.
Cross Country:
On the field of competition the Harriers
outdid themselves. Katie Brown and Brant
McManigal had outstanding times with 22: 19
and 31: 19, a PR (personal record), respectively . Dave Kucera had the fastest time of
all the Geoducks with a clocking of 31: II.
The cross-country team now turns to the
running club and begins training for local
competition.
Men's Soccer:
The Greeners journeyed to Pacific
Lutheran Boxer country, Wednesday,
November 2, for what proved to be a colorful game. The field conditions were
treacherous as skies dumped heavy rains on
the Portland area. The muddy field conditions and unskilled Boxer team made for a
very physical game. Tempers flared from the
onset of the match until the final whistle terminated the paly .
The first half of play resulted in constant
pressure being applied by the Geoducks to
the Pacific goalie. Although a relatively small
number of serious shots on goal were taken
the half ended in a 0-0 tie,
At half time Coach Arno Zoske implored
his charges to •• forget the poor play by your
opponents . Let ' s play our game and work
on spreading out the offense to stop you
bunching. "
With the opening of the second half the
Greeners got their mud together, taking
Coach Zoske's direction, spreading their
game out. This resulted in their first goal,
scored by Walt Johnson, 15 minutes into
play . The score was a misdirected off-speed
shot that rolled into the net as the Boxer
goalie lost his footing in the mud and fell
helplessly away from the play.
Although the one goal would have been
enough to win the contest, the Geoducks
finished the Boxers off, punching in a perfect
header. The goal by Jim Ritchie was scored
off a lovely cross from Stan Johnson. The
Pacific goalie was preparing a mid-air catch
when the leaping Evergreen forward beat
him to the ball.
The Boxer frustration was escalated and
the referee whistled himself breathless issuing yellow and red cards in an attempt to
keep the game under control. Before the time
ran out, five players were ejected; three were

More than 100 competitors are expected
to enter the thirteenth annual Turkey Trot
hosted Saturday, November 19, by the
Athletic Department at Evergreen.
The 2.7 mile run on a generally flat pavement or soft cinder shoulder course, begins
at 11 a.m. Saturday. Thanksgiving turkeys
will be awarded to men and women winners
in eight age divisions: 0-7, 8-12,13-19,20-29,
30-39, 40-49, 50-59 and 60 and over.

The Evergreen Sailing team competed
against seven other colleges this past
weekend. The races were held on Budd Inlet just south of Olympia Shoal. John Filmer
and crew provided the Seawulff for a boat
rotation base during the regatta, and Bill
Sheldon of the South Sound Sailing Society
provided his boat Imposition as a spectator
craft. Coach Lou Powers and his race committee, Leanne Manns and Lome Pogue ran
nine races in IS to 20 mph winds. A couple
of capsizes added to the excitement as the
boats planed on the off-wind legs . This kept
the chase boat with Karen Erickson and Gary
Cantrel on their toes.
Sunday morning's skipper's meeting at
Fiddlehead Marina found the competitors
huddled on the dock looking out at steady
20 mph winds with higher gusts. The race
committee made the decision to hold the
day's racing in the more protected inner harbor. The course was set when wind began
gusting to 35 mph and the bay turned into
a mass of whitecapped waves. (Winds were
later reported at 53 mph.) A few boats had

The men went on to entenain Whitman College here Saturday.
The 1983 men's soccer team played like
winners all year and finished the season with
a 3-0 win over Whitman College.
The heavy rains of the last few games
didn't seem to slow the powerful Geoducks
down. They played as if the weather was 70
degrees and sunny.
Finishing their season with a 7-3-4 record,
Coach Zoske was very pleased with his
players. "They played as a team, talking and
helping each other. The players were very
versatile playing different positions," he
said.
The 3-0 score over the Whitman team was
not indicative of the domination of the
Geoducks play. They totally controlled the
tempo of Saturday'S match in a fashion that
has come to be a trade mark of the Greener
game. With the intensity they played with on
Saturday the score could easily have been
6-0. The men finished their season with a
superlative 7-3-4 record. Congrats!
The finale of the 1983 intercollegiate soccer season at TESC could be equated to the
finale of a firewoiKs--d1Splay, the best is
always saved for the last.
The lovely day of soccer started with 2
games beginning at 9 a.m .; TESC vs . WWU,
while PLU and UPS squared off at one
another. The winners of the 9 a.m. games
were to advance to the final of the Division
I NAIA Women's Regional finals.
Both morning games proved to be
showcases for an excellent brand of soccer.
The UPS, PLU contest went into over time,
with the Lady Lutes finally coming out on
top with a 3-2 victory. The game could have
gone either way as the momentum swung
back and forth between the evenly matched
clubs .
At the same time TESC women were
becoming respectable with by far their best
game of the season. The defense was
awesome. WWU would blast down the field
on the attack only to have a fired up defensive Geoduck strip them of the ball. The
Greener's offense began to click providing
a number of good runs on the Vikings goalie.
The first period ended in a 0-0 knot.
At half time the team was spurred on by
a spirited Coach Tamar Chotzen, "Now you
know you can play soccer, you are still in this
contest. Show them you have heart, play
them tight on defense and continue to
pressure that goalie."
The Greener's took the field for the second
half kick off more mindful of their worth as
a soccer team . They clawed and kicked their
way over the superbly conditioned fields
grudgingly giving up one goal. The intensity of the Evergreen women continued up to
the ending whistle. The 1-0 score was the
lowest of the season for the high-powered
WWU team. The final season ledger found
the Geoducks at 3-8-1.

before reaching the race course. The race
committee then cancelled the races for the
day, basing the final results on Saturday's
races.
Sailing for TESC in the A-fleet was team
captain Gordon Smith and crew Mark
Royhans with the help of middle crew Peter
Lindsey (winners of last week's race in the
Soling Class Sloop). Smith and Royhans sailed very consistently throughout the regatta,
never finishing below 4th. The B-fleet consisted of Barry Brown as skipper with crew
Andrew McDonald and alternate David
Born. Brown sailed a very competitive race,
his lowest finish being a third . The results
