Legislative session begins

Tuition freeze works its way through committee
.

By Bradley

P. Blum
If the cost of a college education in
Washington is a topic that interests you, keep
your eye on what happens up at the capitol
in the next few weeks.
On Tuesday of last week, the Senate
Education Committee gave its approval to
a measure that would freeze resident tuition
rates al their current levels until 1987.
Students are presently required to pay a
percentage of the total cost of their educati on, as determined by the 1981 legislature.
For instance, undergraduates at the University of Washington and Washington State are
now obl ig ed to pick up the tab for one third
of the cost. The figure at TESC and the
state's regional universities is "25 percent.
Comm unit y college students pay 23 percenl.
Senate Bill 4339, sponso red by Lowell
Peterson, D-Concrete, would freeze tuition
at 1982-83 dollar amounts until 1987, or until
student costs fall to lower percentages . For
UW and WSU undergrads this means 25 percenl. At Evergreen and the regionals, 20 percent. Community college students would see
their share reduced to 18 percent. Resident
graduate students and those pursuing doc torates in medicine, dentislry, and veterinary
sc ience would be similarly effected. Nonresiden t tuition wou ld rema in at cur rent ly
ma nd a ted percentages.

Robert Spaulding, Media Coordinator for
the Washington St udent Lobby (WSL) , sees
the situation far differently . According to
him, 1982 Department of Labor statistics
showed an unemployment rate of 18.6 percent for non-farm laborers, while professional and technical workers h ad an
unemployment rate of 3.3 percent.
Spaulding also claims that the tuition
freeze plan would have long-term benefits fo r
Washington that would far outweigh the
short-term reduction in tuiti o n revenue s,
estim'ated at 48 million dollar s for the next
biennium. His reasoning is that by making
higher education affordable to more peop le
the s tate would have a hi ;;her pa id popula tion and more tax revenue co min g in.
"A recent Census Bureau report showed
that a bachelors degree increases a man's
lifetime earn in g power by 329,000 doll ar ~ , "
he said. "Combine that with the knowledge
that Wash ingto n taxpayers pay approximat eIy 10 percent of their earnings in state taxe.' .
That equates to 32,900 doliar s in in cre,beti
revenues for the state . Th e state ' s shar e of
ins tructional cost for four years wa~ 9 ,204
dollars at 1982-83 levels.

December 8, 1983

Washington' s House Ways and Means
Committee, Friday, approved a 55 million
dollar supplemental state budget that included a 770,000 dollar appropriation to meet the
growth needs of The Evergreen State College .
The additional money was approved by
the Democratically co ntrolled committee to
hire additional faculty 10 accomodate an
unexpected growth in e nrollment at TESC
for the 1983-84 academic year and even
higher numbers projected for the 84-85
schoo l year.
Last yea r's legislature appropriated slightly more than 29.4 million dollar s for
Evergreen's operation, based on expectations
o f a Full-Time Enrollment (FTE) of 2209.
The FTE figure was revised to 2350 for th e
83-84 year after a healthy increase in registratio n was recorded for the Fall 83 quart er.
The FTE for next year is now being estimated
a t 2400.
The schoo l had asked fo r 978,000 dollars

10 provide for the additional students , but,
as Stan Marshburn of Evergreen's Co llege
Relations office- put it , "You can't always
get what you want."
Marshburn also points out that even the
770,000 dollar supplemental appropriation
is, by no means, a certainty. He is cautious ly optimistic about the budget passing the full
Hou se of Representives, which will begin
consideration of it this week, but there are
a number of hurdles to cross before the addition al funds become a reality .

From the house, the budget goes to the
floor of the Senate, where it will be read and
referred to the Senate Ways and Means
Committee for co nsideration.
That co mmittee can approve it , as is, reject it completely, or a pprove an a ltered version of it s own. It then goes back to the full
Se nate to be debated, probably amended,
a nd voted upon .
Si nce it is almost unheard of for a Sena te
budget to be ident ical to one pas sed by the
HOLl se, the legislation's next SlOp, (if it passes

the Senate), will be the joint six-member
Co nference Co mmillee. There any differences between House and Senate versions
will be ironed out.
If the TESC funding passes through a ll
those hands unscathed, it, and the rest of the
state budget , will be sent to Governor John
Spellman for hi s signature or veto.
In the budget Spellman proposed to the
leg islature, Evergreen' :; increased FTE was
noted, but the remedy suggested by the
governor was a diversion of funds from the
sc hool' s in st ructional support budget to it s
instru ctional budget.
The instructional mo m. ; is intended for
faculty sa lari es a nd ot her actua l classroom
expenses . The instructional support budget
fund s the salaries of such people as
librari ans, co unselors , and regi st rar staff.
According to Marshburn, the 208 ,000
dollar gap between TESC's 978,000 dollar
request and th e 770,000 approved by Ways
and Means freezes instructional support at
it s present level.

Geoduck sailors take 2nd place
By Karen Denman
Blue sky and the Olympic Mountains were
a stunning backdrop for the exciting and
dramatic Windjammer Regatta held on Budd
Inlet Saturday and Sunday, the 14th and 15th
of January. Five schools braved the 20 mph
northwind Saturday with a chill factor of 16
degrees. Boats overturned and rigging broke
as gusts upwards of 25-30 mph played havoc
with the crews. One of the Alpha Class boats
was damaged in a minor collison. causing
racing to be terminated early on Saturda/
Exc it ement beg~n to build as the
Geoducks stowed their gear at the end of the
first day. They were in th e lead! Of th e five
races run o n Sat urday, Eve rgreen had three
1st places, two 2nd and a 4th place. Un iversity of Oregon was 2nd and withi n st riking
distance.
Sunday'~ racing was quite a contr as t to
Saturday's events. A ve ry light northerly was
blowing wit h a temperature of 27 degrees.
Th e compet it ion for the regana 's top prize,
a trip to compe te at Tulane University near
New Orleans during Mardi Gras, was on the
finish line. TESC and U of 0 pulled away
from the remaining three sc hoo ls; WWU,
OSU and SU . The elim ination champions
would not be determined until the final race
of Sunday afternoon . U of 0 won the five
Sunday races acc umulating a totJI of 16

races. Evergreen placed second in the overall competition.

points for the two days. The Geoducks took
2nd place in all five races, finishing a close
three points behind the U of 0, with 19
points. The tea m with the least points is th e
winner. It was an outstanding weekend of

camaraderie and competition. The Geoduck
coach, Lou Powers, stated "They have im proved immensely! We were in the competition From the onset."
Crew for Fleet A was Gordon Smith and
Karen Erickson. Fleet B crew was Rick
Baldwin and Gary Cantrell.

Ski team to compete this week
By Kimhcrly Fiedler
This weekend the Evergreen ski team
en ters its first tournament of the 1984 seaso n.
This event will take place at Pac-West sk i
area at Snoqualmie Pass. The Following
Saturday the team races at White Pass. -Then
the team moves on to two three-day t ournamen ts at Gro use Mountain and Blackomb
in British Columbia the first half of
February.
TESC will race again st other colleges in
fh e Northern Division of the Pacific Northwe st. These in clud e University of
Washington, University of Puget Sou nd ,
Un iversity of British Co lumbi a, Western
Washington University. Pacific Lutheran
Un iversity. Seattle Pacific Uni versity, and
Simon-Fraser University.
Eighteen students are sk iin g for the glory
of TESC. Ten men and five women will be
racing alpine, and three men will be racing
cross-country. Any skier who finishes as one
of t he top ten racers of a tournament

qualifies to compete in the regional play-offs.
Last year Evergreen sent two racers to the
regionals.
This is the second year Evergreen has
funded a sk i team. Team members range in
ex perience from novice, to those who have
been sk iing si nce they cou ld toddle. Among
the more experienced sk iers, watch for the
performance of Andy Oakley, a top-ranked
sk ier in the Northwest. Bruce Johnston,
novice, is seated fifth on the team because
he has sk ied five times.
Two skiers from last year's team, Brian
Dixon and Andrew Bcrnick, returned for the
1984 season. Another ve teran, Dena Scroggie, is app lyin g her experie nce and enthw;iasm to the role of coach.

)
Beginning in the fall of 1984, seven
Evergreen students who have completed a
minimum of 75 quarter hours may spend up
to a year in residence at the University of
Washington's Jackson School of International Studies.
As a way to expand opportunities for
Evergreeners to prepare themselves for a
world of global interdependence and cultural
diversity, Evergreen has developed a pilot
program with the University, says Dean Betsy Diffendal.
Possibilities for study include participation
in special programs in language, history,
economics, political economy, comparative
religion and international business. Intensive
language and culture studies can be undertaken in the following areas: Chinese, East
European, Japanese, Jewish, Korean, Russian, and South Asian.
Application to the program will be coordinated by Dr. Andrew Hanfman, Director
of Evergreen's Academic Center for
Language and Culture. If you will have completed 75 quarter hours by next fall, are in terested in intensive study of international affairs and languages, and would consider
spending up to a year at the University, see
Dr. Hanfman on Thursdays between 3:30
and 4:30 in his office, Lib 1409, or make an
appointment with Dean Diffendal.
A representative of the Jackson School
will be on campus in early February to talk
with prospective applicants. If you are interested to know more about the program,
contact Hanfman or Diffendal by the first
of February .

Presidential search continues
More 'than 100 men and women had applied for the presidency of The Evergreen
State College by the end of December, and
50 of them are st ill under consideration after
the "first cut" made by the college's
Presidential Selection Advisory Committee
last week.
Faculty member · Dr. Rudy Martin, who
cha irs th e com mitt ee, report ed hi s group is
"determi ned to cut as far, as fast and as
carefu ll y as we can" to reach a list of the top
20 applicants by th e end of Ja nua ry .
"We know already that we have an
outstanding pool from which to choose,"
Martin sa id." We've received applications
from all over the country and even some

from abroad. They come from men and
women in business and industry, in public
and private education, in government, even
from the clergy.
"Our job in the next two months," he
added, "is to very selectively narrow that list
down to a final five."
Martin said he hopes the commi ttee can
determine those five finalist s by the end of
Winter Quarter. Then the college Board of
Trustees will begin a final interview process
which they" hope will lead to se lection of
Evergreen's third president during the spring.
The trustees would like to have the new president aboard well before classes begin next
fall . .

in German and decided the English version
was misleading to Americans. He then
translated his own version with anti-Nazi explanatory notes. It sold over 500,000 copies
before Hitler's agents won their case.
After a few years as a journalist, Cranston
became head of his father's real estate company, and went on to become president of
a building company and vice-president of an
investment firm . His business interests are
now severed.
As a public servant Cranston was Chief
of the Foreign Language Division of the Office of War Information and founder of the
California Democratic Council. He became
U.S. Senator in 1968. The Democrats elected
him Senate Democratic Whip in 1977 and
again in 1979, 1980 and 1982.
Cranston appears to be on the left of most
of the main candidates. Conservation groups
like him. So do women's organizations,
senior citizens groups and civil rig;hts groups.

He advocates a nuclear freeze . He wants out
of Nicaragua and he wants EI Salvador to
reform .
But the real question is, can he win? Alan
Cranston thinks so. In amount of money he
claims he is third behind Mondale and
Glenn. Mondale also beats him in organization, having much of the middle-of-the-road
party machinery behind him.
But Cranston thinks he can take California from Ronald Reagan. Traditionally
Democrats need to take either the South or
the West. In 1980 Cranston took more votes
in Cali fornia on his re-election bid than
Reagan did in that state for president.
Whether this has bearing on the 1984 elec-

Taxes: "We should first restore taxes
on very well-to-do peo;>le; make sure
that there's a meaningful minimum
tax, so that everybody pays some
taxes; and do our utmost to close
loopholes that permit some people to
escape any taxations at all."
Nuclear Freeze: "On January 20th,
1985, I will announce that day that the
U.S. will conduct no further tests and
deploy no nuclear weapons as long as
the Soviets do likewise .... lf they proceeded to test or deploy we would
know it instantly."

tion is yet to be seen.
Cranston has also done well in recent straw
polls he's entered, placing first in three and
second behind Mondale in three.
Supporters are gambling on one other fact.
Since 1956 no Democratic front runner has
taken the nomination. Most recently these
were Ted Kennedy, Hubert Humphrey and
Edmund Muskie.
Washington is the first Western primary,
coming after Iowa and New Hampshire.
(Washington actually has a caucus system,
not a direct vote primary.J That makes our
sta te the first stop off point in the west for
many candidates. You're sure to see more
of them as March 13 approaches.

Central America: "In Nicaragua I
would stop trying to overthrow the
government there by covert activities.
In EI Salvador I would tell the government there either you shape up on
human, civil and economic rights and
opportunities and start giving your
people their fair share in the decisionmaking or we are going to stop giving
you military assistance."

Happy Birthday, King
Bradley P. Blum
A crowd of more than a hundred gathered
in the Capitol Rotunda, Monday, to commemorate the birthday of the late Rev. Martin Luther King J r.
King, who would have been 55 on Sunday,
was quoted extensively during the two hours
of speeches and gospel music. Among those
speaking in honor of the slain civil rights
leader, was Governor John Spellman, who
declared January 15th and 16th as "Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day in the state of
Washington."
Others on the slate of speakers included:
Senator George Fleming, Representative Jennifer Belcher, Olympia Mayor Dave
Skramstad, Thurston County Commissioner

Grenada: "I oppose what Ronald
Reagan did in Grenada ... . We violated
international law. We violated the
norms of human behavior between
civilized countries. We violated the
Organization of American States
Charter. We violated the United Nations Charter. And we violated the
War Powers Act. That's enough
reason to oppose it."

Les Eldridge, Mayor Mark Brown of Lacey,
and Davina Mapp, President of Evergreen's
UJAMMA.
Mapp blasted the misconception that since
blacks are now free and able to vote, "they
have it made." She said that "until Jesse
Jackson is called a 'Democratic Presidential
candidate' instead of 'a black Presidential
candidate' and Vanessa Williams is simply
'Miss America,' not 'the first black Miss
America,' " King's vision of people "being
judged, not by the color of their skin, but
by the content of their character" will not
be realized.
The rally ended shortly after I p.m. as
everyone present joined hands and sang "We
Shall Overcome.".

. ERA: "[Wei need to enact ERA and
abolish discrimination against Blacks,
Hispanics and all others subjected to
discrimination. "

How's it built? Starts with a classy crust.
Then a ladle of lusty sauce. Plus all your
favorite ingredients loaded on and piled
high-' and topped off with a bubbling sea of
hot mozzarella cheese. The real stuff-and
plenty of it.
That's Godfather's Pizza. Thick. Rich.
Absolutely dee-lish.

The food concessions on the 4th floor
of the library brought participants a
variety of Japanese culinary delights.
Chefs prepared tempura, sushi, yaki
tori (chicken kabobs), noodle soup
and other goodies for the hungry people, many of whom stood in line up
to an hour.

A color-splashed kimono style show and
demonstration highlighted Sunday's second
annual Tribute To Japan at Evergreen.
Ceremonial kimonos worn by Japanese
American men, women and children were
seen Ihroughout the Daniel .I. Evans
Memorial Library .
A w ide variety of materials was used to
make Ihe kimono fabrics, including linen,
cotton, light, medium and heavy weighl
~.a0ls, and silk. Patience and fortitude
cHaracterized Akaie Swisher, Carol Muniz
Jones and Jeannine Masumoto as Harumi
Cox filled Iheir kimonos before an altenlive
audience .
Ten -ye}r-old Jeannine is the daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Ted Masumoto. Mr.
Masumoto is President of the Japanese
American Citizens League, one of Ihe cosponsors for the tribute.
Aikaie Swisher designed Ihe motif for the
fabric of her one-of-a-kind space ships and
satellites kimono . Her design can not be
duplicaled wilhout her permission, according
to narrator Jean Kajikawa .
The narrator also explained that each
model was wearing two full-length
undergarments beneath their kimonos. On
Iheir feel, they wore ankle-length socks, called tamis . A tami has a separate section for
Ihe big toe so zoris (Ihonged sandals) can be
worn. Kajikawa said that during inclement
weather, geta (wooden clogs) are worn to
keep the feet off wet surfaces. Zoris are normally worn in dry weather and are made of
a grass or straw-like material. When worn
with the ceremonial kimonos, zoris are usually covered and lined with colorful materials
to complement Ihe kimono .
Working swiftly, Harumi Cox filled each
kimono to its wearer. The kimono was held
tightly to the body by a ceremonial sash, called an obi, which is generally aboul 12 feet
long. According to narrator Kajikawa, fitting an kimono to ils wearer is an art that
lakes years of practice to perfect. This CP J
reporter considered briefly how she would
fare trying to palienlly hold still long enough
to have a ceremonial kimono filled , The narrator mentioned that kimono fitting for the
10 other models, the kimono filter and the

Many watched in silent fascination as the
painstaking work required to don a kimono
"unfolded. " These beautiful results can take
up to an hour to achieve.

narrator herself had begun at one o'clock to
be ready for the Ihree o'clock kimono show .
After the kimono fitting demon st ration,
the remaining kimono-wearing models
descended the main slaircase inlo the lobby.
Kanako Yamazaki, a student at Tumwater
High School; and Hiromi Takano and
Mikiko Hatch, students at Evergree n, were
among Ihe kimono models.
Other models were Mei Lawrence, Michie
Griego, Michiko Clark and ten-year-old Kel ly Wicker. Bul perhaps the mosl atlention
was given 10 two four-year-olds. Teresa
Masumoto stepped so carefully down the
staircase. Merisa Long did a charming hopand-jump from s tep 10 step in her getas.
Sunday's tribute was a grand success, from
Ihe crowds around the bamboo painter to the
long lines for lempura and sushi. The
kimono show was just one of many colorful
activities planned to pay tribute to Japan.

As most of you already know from
Board of Trustee meetings and all campus
hearings, Campus Security will be operating
under Ihe guidelines of a ne,., Parking
Policy effective Winter Quarter 1984.
The new policy does away with both warning tickels and the "barrels" now used for
impounding in-place. Vehicles found in
violalion will now be tickeled using an Infraclion form Ihal will instrucl Ihe
owner/driver of Ihe vehicle that he or she
may either pay the infraclion fine a l Ihe
Cashier's Office or appeal the Infraclion
Ihrough the Infraction Review Commillee.
The kinds of improper parking categories
generally remain Ihe same: no permit, prohibiled zone, overtime parking, etc.
Anolher major change is that people who
are in violation will no longer have to wail
for Parking slaff 10 come remove a barrel,
in addition to paying a fine .

LETTERS
Th e two letters that follow are responses to
a letter written by financial aid student
worker Amber Shinn, which appeared in the
Dec. 1st issue of the CPl. Shinn disagreed
with a CPl article which questioned the role
and intent of the Financial Aid office with
regard to aid for draft non-registrants.
Shinn's letter read in part: "Having to enforce a law I don 't agree with caused a lot
of soul-searching on my part. What I finally had to do was reconcile myself to thefact
that I did have a job to do, even though there
were things about it I didn 't agree with . ..

"We must all begin
to listen to our
consciences. "
Dear Editor:
In response to Amber Shinn' s letter:
Dear Amber , How do we begin to make
change if we ignore issues we are concerned
a bo ut. You mentioned you were concerned
a bout the "extremely unfair draft-aid
la w .. .. " You didn ' t like the situation and
suggested we all work together to change it.
That' s fine, however, you wanted to be pardoned for your involvement of enforcing this
" extremely unfair law ." You stated you
didn't make the rules, you just abide by
them . How very sad .
I am reminded of the trains that rolled
silently , carrying human cargo, to the European deathcamps in the 1930's and 40's. People in these European communities generally ignored the trains, they remained silent
a nd inactive . They too were following the
rules, they too were just doing their job.
Again, I ask--HOW DO WE BEGIN TO
MAKE CHANGE IF WE IGNORE ISSUES
WE ARE CONCERNED ABOUT?
I'd like to suggest we can make a diffe rence, Amber. Unjust laws are not made
by a mysterious other called "the system,"
they are made by people like you and I. WE
ARE THE SYSTEM-- and we can decide
whel her or nOI to enforce unju st laws. People create laws and people can change them.
However, I his generally means taking personal responsibility for our lives . We must
be willing to make personal sacrifices if we
are to break unjust laws over and over and
over, until they are changed. Remember
slavery? Slavery was once legal, until people followed thier consciences and broke
Ihose laws repeatedly.
We must all begin to examine our personal
li ves. We must all begin to listen to our consciences. We must all begin 10 follow our
hearts in order to refuse to cooperate with
the injustices we see. We must take the personal and ma ke it political. We must act
nonviolently.
Peacefully yours,
Petrina Walker

To the Editor:
As a current student on leave I would like
to respond to some of last quarter's letters in
the CP 1 from some of the financial .. aid
administrators.
I am a draft age non-registrant who did
not apply for financial aid this year at
Evergreen because of the current policy denying aid and due process to non-registrants.
Having five years in prison and $10,000 at
stake, I can appreciate Ms. Shinn and Ms.
Chun's reluctance to risk their position with
the school over a political issue. 'I must
however disagree.
The post war trials at Nuremburg have
shown us that merely "doing your job" or
"following orders" is not an excuse. The fact
that you hold a job that enforces a law that
goes far beyond "unfair" puts you in a
political position. Perhaps you fail to realize
that in effect you are acting as a policing
agent for the U.S. government when you
help to enforce this law. For non-registrants,
applying for aid under these circumstances
becomes a life or death issue. That's scary
as hell to me.
If the college is offering state funded aid
to non-registrants that's commendable, but
why isn't it somehow advertised?
Finally I would like to say I've heard
rumors of a Solomon II amendment that
may deny federal aid to colleges that help
non-registrants. If we are to stop this kind
of coercion the time has come for administrative personnel to start sending clear
signals to Washington that we strongly
disagree and that we're not going to take it.
If the financial aid office is truly trying to
help, ii' s time to take a clear stand.

Dear Editor:
1984 is here, and doublethink lives, or
rather flourishes, at The Evergreen State College . The flight from reality which
characterizes political thought here will reach
its glorious peak this year as we trumpet the
name of George Orwell while strenuously
avoiding any mention of the matters which
concerned him the most. This is inevitable,
because Orwell's primary concern was with
precisely the kind of attitudes which prevail
here .
The USSR-Militant enters 1984 r.uled by
a genocidal bureaucrat who was for 15 years
the boss of the largest, most intrusive and
most brutal secret police in the history of
man. Yuri Andropov earned his spurs as a
professional purger for Stalin in the 1930's,
after failing as a film projectionist. It is easy
to identify the enthusiastic Stalinists; they are
the ones who, like Yuri, got their big breaks
in the Soviet hierarchy in 1937 - the year
everyone else in Russia was being shot. Yuri
spent "The Great Patriotic War," World
War II, organizing adolescents and women
into forced labor battalions . They slept in
ditches in the arctic cold of the KareloFinnish Soviet Republic and died by the
thousands attempting to fulfill timber quotas
50 percent higher than those sel for healthy

u

men with winter clothing (which Yuri's kids
didn't have because to let them bring winter
clothing would have revealed their destination and provoked resistance, solthey were
only told to bring summer clothing).
Yuri did so well at challenging administrative jobs like this that he managed
to become Ambassador to Hungary in time
to suppress the 1956 revolt there. He was in
charge of the KGB during the 6Q's and the
70's, as soon as the Stalinist clique managed to get rid of that old softy Kruschev. He
worked hard on progressive things like
psycho-torture - the practice of committing
political dissidents to mental hospitals for
"treatment. "
If this man doesn't win the "thoughtpolice" prize of the post-war world, then
something is wrong. One would think that
this man, and the system which has made
him Lenin's apostolic successor, might just
possibly be on the agenda of a program called "1984." Nope. The" 1984" Program is
reading a book about an intelligence service
alright, the NSA: the dedicated and patriotic
people who attempt to prevent Yuri doing
to us what he tried to do to the Pope .
In short, while millions languish in slave
labor camps and "mental hospital " torture
chambers across the II time-zone Soviet
Animal Farm, we at Evergreen will use our
complete academic freedom to discover just
how awfully oppressed we are. We will then
use our complete freedom of speech to report
this to ourselves. The whole of this lunacy
will be financed largely by the oppressorstate itself, foolishly standing for re-election
this faU instead of seizing power outright and
purging its enemies.
Orwell's mortal enemies were those
members of the "intelligentsia" who intentionally confuse freedom and slavery through
a corruption of the use of language.
Evergreen professor Allen Nasser, Honored
Guest Lecturer of the "1984" Program, told
that group of upper-division students that the
"Cuban people trust Castro," and that if
they didn't, he "wouldn't give them guns."
Instead of being perceived as an advocate of
the continued enslavement of the Cuban people, which this statement would indicate, Mr.
Nasser is apparently seen as a progressive and
enlightened political philosopher. He is skilled in one way, certainly, and that is in the
anecdotal presentation of Cu ba as a
marvelous example of progressive sanity
while 20,000 Cuban soldiers (read :
mercenaries) fight Yuri's wars in Africa. His
lecture was complemented nicely by a regular
" 1984" program lecture, the main point of
which apparently was that things in China
are peachy and getting better all the time.
And then there was the Salvadoran
"teacher" which EPIC put on display one
noon, whose contribution to Evergreen's
"political information" was that Eden
Pastora is and always was a CIA agent . Her
evidence was - wait for it - he owns land.
Well, practice makes perfect, and the willingness, eagerness even , of Evergreen
students to allow doublethink to be practiced on them no doubt ensures its ultimate
perfection, with consequences so well foreseen by Mr. Orwell. He knew well that when
a decadent society, like ours, finally loses the
last vestiges of social cohesion and control,
along with its respect for objective truth, the
people will turn to a strong leader to restore
sanity . Orwell feared that thi s strong leader
would be a devil and a tyrant, and the experiences of Cuba, Russia, and China prove his point.
One can only hope that the United States
will experience a more moderate reaction
than Oceania: contenting itself with ensuring that those who teach in our schools can
distinguish freedom from slavery .
This essay is dedicated 10 Soviet broadcaster Vladimir Danchev , who called Soviet
forces in Afghanistan "invaders," for which
lunacy Danchev now languishes in a
psychiatric hospital. Happy 1984, students
and teachers of the truth.

Dear Editor:
The CP1's coverage of WashPIRG' s involvement in, and the current status of the
nuclear waste dump issue was awful for
several reasons. The reporting was
misleading and reflected ignorance of the
issue.
The headline completely misrepresented
the article. It indicated the possibility of a
nuclear waste dump in Thurston County. No
such facility is under consideration. I f the
headline was m'!llnt to indicate WashPIRG's
position on the Hanford Basalt Waste IsolaCooper Point Journal

)

(

tion Project it also misrepresents that. To
write that WashPIRGs "says no" to the
Hanford siting is insultingly simplistic. As
usual, WashPIRG has ma~e a highly credible, in depth study of the issue from which
a position had been carefully chosen. The
headline seems to me, to underrate the professional quality of WashPIRG's research
and advocacy.
The article's first two paragraphs are also
deceptive. From them the uninformed reader
would conclude that the question has been
settled, and WashPIRG can only say "told
you so." This is absolutely false! The decision is nowhere near completion, and
WashPIRG's impact upon it had been and
will be of major importance.
Also in poor form was the placement of
the picture on the front page. The visual
message is that the picture relates to the
story, but it no more related to the story than
did the headline.
Finally the cartoon on page 4 depicting
nuclear waste barrels in the river
demonstrated more ignorance and
misleading journalism. The high level nuclear
waste will not be stored in barrels. Even with
the low level waste that is thus stored, the
concern is percolation of radiated water and
waste liquids, not barrels or other large
solids.
In contrast to the above, Blum's report on
the PIRG's toxics committee was quite good.
Nonetheless, I urge a front-page correction
of the misleading nature of the 'nuclear
dump' article.
Please, you've put out a good paper so far
this year. From here on, be more careful with
your headlines, be sure of what you're reporting, and don't misrepresent the Washington
Public Interest Research Group.

This week's decision by President Reagan's "reconstituted" Civil Rights Commision to denounce the affirmative action quotas as "unjustified discrimination" strikes us as hasty, ill-conceived. and poorly timed.
Hasty because the "new commission"(five of the eight members are Reagan
appointees) has been together only a few short months. When Reagan reorganized the commission last fall - an action neatly conducted while American eyes
were focused on Grenada - the idea seemed to be to review the findings of
the past commission and engage in several fact-finding studies to determine
whether new civil rights policies were needed. Last Tuesday, commission Chairman Clarence M. Pendleton stated that the panel "voted to declare our independence" of past policies. This after only four months of study. There seems
to be little doubt that this declaration was in effect from the moment the new
commission was installed.
Ill-conceived because the example used to denounce affirmative action is, in
fact, one of the very positive and effective uses of the quota policy currently
in existence. Blacks in the Detroit Police Department urged the city to promote
more minority officers so that they would be fairly represented at the higher
levels. A plan was instituted in which promotions from sergeant to lieutenant
would be made alternately from separate lists of qualified whites and blacks.
The commission says that plan is unjust: "Such racial preferences merely constitute another form of unjustified discrimination .... " And yet the Supreme
Court has refused to disturb the plan, which is to stay in effect until 50 percent
of the lieutenants corps is black, because it believes there are a sufficient number
of qualified candidates of both races so that no discrimination is taking place.
What does the commission know that the Supreme Court does not?
Poorly timed because the commission chose to make its controversial announcement in the midst of our celebration of Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthday and the giant strides he made in attaining racial equality. The disrespect,
whether intended or not, is deplorable.
Affirmative action, ultimately, is not the solution to the problems faced in
reaching racial equality, but to condemn a legitimate attempt aimed at alleviating
the situation and then leave only a large void in its place is not a matter of civil
rights, it's civil wrongs.

responsible
for bloodshed in Lebanon
By Mira Brown

Dear Editor :
We are two straight, intelligent, attractive
women with a problem. After conducting extensive research at Evergreen, we've come to
the disheartening conclusion that a successful
social life at Evergreen depends on certain
narrow, discriminating criteria . The requirements for cathexis with a (willing)
libidinal object seem to include:
a) Women cannot admit to using make-up.
b) Women must act traditionally feminine
while giving the impression of being
liberated.
c) Women cannot touch men . They can,
however, touch other women.
d) A woman who initiates sexual contact
with a man is accused of not' 'going with the
flow."
e) Calvin Klein jeans, earrings that match ,
or exhibitions of good taste of any kind are
strictly prohibited.
We, too, enjoy sprouts on our toasties. We
do not live at the Capital Mall. We are
displaced, alternative thinkers, just like you .
Spring is nearly upon us. Men, take heed .

FORUM:u.s.

The headline Mero refers to read
"WashPIRG says no to Thurston Co.

as Mero points out, the story deals with the
Hanford dump site in Eastern Washington .
The error was caused by a mix-up in relaying headlines for the two stories written by

On December 12, 1983 , Radio Israel
quoted an NBC television report stating that
the U.S . Marines in Lebanon are using new
shells, called "beehives," against the Shiite
neighborhoods of Beirut. These artillery
shells shower an area with thousands of
metal darts. They are antipersonnel weapons
designed to cause the maximum possible
number of human casualties. The besieged
forces in Beirut do not have the medical
capacity to treat the grotesque multiple

wounds that result. There can be no rationale
for the shelling of these neighborhoods other
than decimating the morale of the civilian
populations that support the resistance to the
U.S . occupation of Beirut.
What are U.S. troops doing in Lebanon?
The vague answers we receive to this question usually go something like this; "We are
helping the Gemayel government and the
Lebanese National Army restore order to
Lebanon." Who is Gemayel, and wh!=re did
the National Army come from? Amin

Born January 15, 1929
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YA!"

Gemayel, who was elected President of
Lebanon in 1982, in an election carried out
under the guns of the occupying Israeli Army . He is a leader of the Phalangists, backed militarily for many years by Israel, hold
an openly facist ideology, tracing their politcal roots back to Mussolini. It was the
Phalangist militias, along with Israeli troops,
who an official Israeli inquiry board found
responsible for the brutal massacre of hundreds of Palestinian civilians in the Sabra and
Shatilla refugee camps. Those same militias
were what became the base of the revived
Lebanese National Army after Gemayel's
election . It is their fragile authority that the
U.S. remains in Lebanon to protect.
The U.S. forces must take direct responsibility for the blood shed and destruction
caused by our increasingly frequent shelling

Greeners Speak Out

of Shiite and Druse areas. But we also must
take indirect responsibility for much of the
remaining bloodshed in Lebanon. Our
military occupation serves to prolong the
Lebanese civil war. The Phalangists are in
the minority in Lebanon, and since their
desertion by Israel, could not hope to maintain control without U.S. backing. The continued presence of U.S . troops in Lebanon
is an incentive for Gemayel not to compromise, in a country where compromise is
the only hopeful road to peace . The time for
a withdrawal of U.S. troops from Lebanon
is long past.
As students, with access to information
and media resources, we have a responsibility
to inform ourselves about, and act to change
the policy of bloodshed that is being carried
out in our names.

What Qualities Would You Like
to See in the Next President of Evergreen?

By Shannon O'Neill

Beth Briton, Biology Student
"The new president of
Evergreen should be
somebody who can make the
Evergreen
community
stronger and help it to fulfill
its role in the Olympia community - by building up a
more positive image of
Evergreen as a viable educational option. We need
somebody who could work
on building a better reputation for the school - someone who is willing to communicate the uniqueness of
Evergreen in a positive
way."

January 19, 1984

Eric D.L. Ruhlen,
Elementary Education
"Someone with clout! We
need someone with a lot of
power to keep Evergreen
open - someone with a
strong personality to deal
with the government of the
state, because the State
government has a tendency
to pick on weak people to
close the school. The new
president needs to have good
public relations to give the
school a good name."

Evelyn Baker, Nutrition,
Culture and Com munity Health
"Someone who can see
that politics are properly integrated with the school so as '
not to hinder the quality of
education but rather to
enhance it. Someone who is
looking out for the financial
interests of the students and
the school. And someone
who is especiaijy interested in
the special type of education
and learning experiences that
we have here at Evergreen."

Cooper PoInt Journal

William F. Ryan III,
1984 Program
"I think two things need
to be in the next Evergreen
president: First, political
clout - he or she has got to
be able to protect us from
people wanting to close
down the school or hamper
its growth, and he or she
should fight for more faculty and' expansion of the
school. Second, the new
president should have a commitment to the philosophy of
education at Evergreen where the student has the
primary responsibility for his
or her own education and
the faculty facilitates :"

Alicia Ward,
Urear Books Program
"I would like to see someone who is not on a
pedestal in front of the
students. I mean, someone
who's not just smiling and
winking - but who is aware
of student politics. And this
person should not only be
aware, but should be active
and cooperative with
students beyond the usual
presidential affairs. I don't
know if that's within the
capacity of a College President's job, but maybe it
could be made so. This is
just off the top of my head. "

By Christopher Bingham
Wedne sda y nights at the Rainbow
Restaurant you can see a fine example of the
j azz tradition at work, namely the New
Smithfield Trio with Michael Moore, Steve
Bentley, and Stephen Luceno. They are all
part of one of Olympia's most popular jazz
bands, Obrador, which has released an
album called More Odd Jobs, on AuRoar
Records. They are in the process of mixing
another as yet untitled LP to be released on
the same label. Obrador has performed at
the Bellevue Jazz Festival, Seattle's Dumbershoot Celebration, and was invited to play
at the Montreaux Jazz festival, perhaps the
most prestigious festival in the jazz world;
althou g h Montreau x later cancelled
presumably to overbooking.
I talked with Steve Luceno, Obrador's
bassist. and found him to be an amiable
storehou~e of knowledge about the jazz scene
in Olympia. His background falls in the
footsteps of some of the finest in modern
jazz. He's taken lessons from John Stowell,
Len Stein, Anthony 'Gump' Marinelli and
played with David Friesen and Bert Wilson.
to name a few. What follows is part of an
interview between sets, last Wednesday at the
Rainbow Resturan!.
CP J: How long have you been part of
Obrador?
SL: Seven years, since 1977. In the fall of
'77 I came to Olympia on vacation ' cause
New York was getting to be a grind for me.
Actually I just got off probation and I was
really happy to be off probation . I took a
vacation and came out here to visit a friend
of mine who was going to Evergreen. When
I came out here I found out that he had quit
Evergreen and was on his way back to the
East Coast. But I met the guys in Obrador
and they needed a bass player. They were
playing Latin music .... So I had some money
and I went out and bought an electric bass
and joined the band. But I thought that the
electric bass wasn ' t the best sound for the
band in a lot of our music . In some of it,
it is and I still play electric bass . But for most
of the music I thought it needed a string bass
so I got one;.
CP J : Then Obrador is much older than
when you came into the band?
SL: Obrador came together in 1975 or 6.
The name Obrador means "workshop" in

Spanish, and that was the concept of the
band. None of us are "the leader" but all
of us can assume the role of leader at any
point and relinquish it. If somebody brings
in a song that they've composed they assume
the role of directing the band, but in the
meantime there are six other people giving
you feed-back about how you're handling
the role as leader.
CPJ: Tell me about your background .
SL: I'm from New York, a town just
about five miles north of New York City proper. It's a town called Merrinick. I went to
high school there and played in my first
bands there. I started playing when I was
about 17. My brother was the bass player for
Manhattan Transfer and he got rid of his
first electric bass, which he gave to me. It
was a crummy old thing you know, and I
played it through an old broken speaker. He
showed me about two lines on the bass and
then he said 'Take it from there." He
wouldn't show me any more. But he was a
real good bass player. So I got into a funk
band. We were playing Edgar Winter's white
trash kind of music; Chicago, Blood Sweat
and Tears, Tower of Power. It was a big
band, an eleven piece band and it was the
first experience I ever had playing. We were
playing in a band called Eimers Fudd , We
played for strippers in New York City . That
was an experience. A good way to start out
I think . You know it was funky enough so
that I got a taste of what it was really gonna
be like. Then I basically took it from there
on my own. I got a guitar and learned from
people I was playing in bands with. I travel·
ed for two years after high school all around
the world. Central America, South America,
Europe and North Africa, and picked up a
lot of ethnic in!luences along the way. I stretched out from only having heard Rock &
Roll and Rhythm & Blues and Detroit sounds
into more Latin music and African music.
That led to an interest in all kinds of music,
basically . So then I fell in love with jazz. I
just really like to play jazz. About four years
ago I started playing string bass and that
finally feels like the "right" instrument for
me.
CP J : Was your family supportive of your
music?
SL: Yes and no. My brother kind of broke
the mold by becoming a rock and roll musician and growing his hair long. He was about

eight years older than me. They weren't very
supportive of him at that point, but they got
accustomed to the fact that he was a musician and that he was good at it. Then when
I went into it they just kind of shook their
heads and said "O.K; another one bites the
dust. But then again my father came to hear
me a couple of times and was especiallY'impressed because I had gone toward jazz. That
was his music. He's always be spinnin' Benny Goodman at home and Duke Ellington .... I'm realizing what that means tg'rne
now. That music is so beautiful.
CP J: What direction is the music going on
the new album?
SL: One of our problems according to a
lot of people is that you can't label it. People like to buy an album that has a theme
to it, but then there are people who do enjoy hearing a variety of music and that's the
kind of people who we're going to appeal to.
Hence we have to put our own albums out
because album companies want to have a certain sound that's gonna be the same thing
everytime. But we like to experiment. We like
to have different sounds in there, so it's
harder to market consequently - but people enjoy it. When people heard More Odd
Jobs, everybody I know who heard it enjoyed it. We got good reviews in the Oregonian and the Seattle Times and the local
papers, four star reviews in some cases, and
the next album's, well, more of Obrador. Except the players have matured. I think the
playing on the album is better. It's better
recorded also.

CP J: Would you say that there is a distinctive Olympia sound?
SL: I don't know if I could say that. I
would say tha,t there are several players in
this town that definitely have their own unique sound. Bert Wilson, Jack Perciful, Tommy Russell. I don't know if I'd call it an
Olympia sound, but I'd say the attitude in
this town is one that is supportive of individual growth. The people who are involved in making the music, the people who come
down and enjoy the music are interested in
not seeing things stagnate. They want to hear
something that turns their head. They wimt
to see people put emotion into music which
is basically where it's at for me.
Go for it Steve.
More Odd Jobs is available at Rainy Day
Records and at the Rainbow Restaurant.

By Joe Blum
Reprinted from Musician Magazine
Jump Up: a dance, a party, a hop. Also
the name of a band run by Oliver Lake.
Music you can listen to or dance to, what
jazz was, perhaps, in the days of Basie and
Ellington. Their new release on Gramavision
(Jump Up) features Lake's virtuoso saxophone work, whimsical vocals and a reggaefunk rhythm section, combined in the
loose knit manner of an African dance band.
It is not, therefore, very surprising that they
had such a solid reception on their recent
African trip, with, yup, standing ovations
and dancing in the aisles. "I started out playing dance music and now I've come full circ1e," says Lake. "But it's something I really believe in, something closer to the people,
something they respond to."
Jump Up is Oliver Lake's central focus at
authentic or 'roots' reggae, and most people say it's not reggae although it sounds like
reggae. But the very appeal comes from the
fact that we're all bringing our own different
personal experiences to this group, not from
any attempt to be authentic .
Lake describes his music . "As I say, this
is music you can dance to or listen to , and
I'm not afraid to bill it as a dance group. It
was a reggae festival at Bard, and it worked
out well considering we're not the most
authentic reggae group-we do play funk, and
some 'out-side' stuff. I'd been accustomed
to, you know, you play your solos, you don't
even look, you bow and that's it. It's a real
challenge for me to relate more to the audience, to get into visual, not just musical,
interaction, even when I'm not playing ,

"We've incorporated some highlife into
what we've been doing and of course we have
the reggae numbers, but we are open to all
sorts of things in the future, as long as it's
danceable. As long as it's about moving, I'm
into it. We may even create some rhythms
ourselves, that's open too."
Lake embodies without strain two
movements in contemporary jazz. One is the
expansive motion, the visionary search for
greater freedoms and expanded tonalities.
The other is the "return to the roots" toward
basic forms, to the dance, where melody is
simple and rhythm is compelling and in~
subordinate to formal construction. Lake
had, in a manner of speaking, "returned to
where he started," to playing dance music ,
only after passing thro.ugh a sequence of
avant-garde mysteries which he has, in one
way or another, brought with him . As a
soloist with Jump Up, Lake will take risks ,
play things that have never been played ,
come up with sounds that are really different,
then incorporate them into a musical structure we all can understand. The wobbly start
was exceptionally brief, and the concept
seems to be working. A music that can be
recognized in Africa and danced to in
Manhattan must have made the journey at
least once before. History is a nightmare
from which we are trying to awaken, and the
moments of wakefulness have almost always
been accompanied by music.

The Beat Happening: (I-r) Heather, Bret and Calvin.

By Kevin Olson

King, Jr., sung from the perspective of a
southern white. A slower paced , maturish
break-up song, apparently titled "Let' s
Break Up" was memorable, at least to me.
This is true modern folk music, no matter
what anybody says .
Of the bands that followed , The Beat Happening, Wimps, Rich Jensen and Friend , Idle
Worship, Supreme Cool Beings and The
Young Pioneers, I liked 'em all except for
Idle Worship , who I didn't see because I was
next door having a beer. I hear t hey were
pretty good, though.
All the bands I saw looked like they were
having a lot of fun, as were the folk s out
slam dancing . I was having a latta fun until
the middle of the Young Pioneers' set, when
I got undercut and landed on my back . As
I write this my left kidney's still killing me.
But I can't complain since I got in on the
guest lis!. So much for a free concert. I guess
I picked the wrong week to quit slam
dancing.

native a cappella trio, We Three , graced the
stage with a beauty in voice and spirit for
both attending and radio audiences. Kim
Scanlon, Sarah Favrilt, and Judith Johnson ,
sang original works about such subjects as
maternal materialism, the struggles and joys
of being a woman, along with more folk and
melodic works. The trio' s vocal and physical
synergy made difficult harmonies and rounds
appear effortless and enjoyable. We Three
will be appearing on January 28th at the
Seattle Center Playhouse as a benefit for the
Folk Life Festival and will join Motherl ode
on March 3rd for a show at the Uni versit y
of Washington.
The Women's Theatre in cooperation wi th
Seattle Central Community C ollege
Women's Programs begin their series,
Broadcloth, a weave of one woman shows,
with Rebecca Wells in Splittin Hairs , directed
by Anne-Denise Ford. A delightful and wit ty comedy which deals with such issues as the
state of Ronald Reagan's hair after a nuclear
holocaust opens at the Broadway Performance Hall in Seattle on January 19 and continues the 20th and 21st. For more information call 587-3854 or 789-6001
Keep your eyes open for auditions and performance dates for The Perform er 's
Unlimited. They promise to continue as
Evergreen's only non-academic theatre collective with Monday night performances at
The Corner in Dorm A and "Confetti ," a
series of one act plays to be scheduled soon.

Oly slams into Seattle

Slam dancing is hard work. It mak es you
sweat. If you're an Evergreen student who
wears a beret or a black leather jacket, you
probably danced up a heckuva sweat this
past Sunday in Seattle. Eight of Olympia's
top rock & roll acts got together to put on
a real good show at the Metropolis in Pioneer
Square.
Starting things off was Legion of Honor
singing, appropriately enough, an ode to
Olympia nightlife, called, "I'll See You in
Olympia. " They got the crowd rolling, and
then handed the stage over to John Foster
and his Pop Philosophers. Foster's got a
wonderful chin, and he knows how to use
it. He penned the songs he performed
especially for this night , and his backing
band, two basses, drums, and Steve Fisk,
keyboardist extraordinaire, backed him to
the hilt as the crowd warmed up. I especialIy liked the song, "Hate That Man." a
tongue-in-check tribute to Martin Luther

Those of you who ventured out in the midwinter cold last weekend had a chance to be
warmed in body and spirit by three performances in the area. The Young Pioneers,
with Pel/ Me/l and the Wipers, put on an
energetic show at the TESC Experimental
Theatre on Friday night. The space was a
welcome improvement to Library 4400 for
both acoustical and dancing pleasure.
At the Broadway Performance Hall in
Seattle on Saturday night, a standing-roomonly audience was treated to an unusual performance by the San Francisco based company, MUSIGN. The troupe of three, Rita
Corey, Ed Chevy, and Bob Hilterman, combine mainly popular recorded music, high
energy dance and acrobatics with the beauty and wonder of sign language for a special,
exciting display of talent and creativity.
MUSIGN . Try to see them if you get the
chance.
Alive in Olympia promises to be another
series of enjoyable musical events if the
quality of shows is anything like that heard
on Sunday night at the Tesc Recital Hall and
broadcast live on KAOS. John Cunningham,
a talented and humorous Scotsman, charm ed a near-capacity crowd with wonderful
tales of breast strokes and bee stings while
performing amazing feats on the fiddle . His
speed and style allow him to rate as one of
the great touring Celtic fiddlers.

The bell rang and there before m~ was a man with' the look
o n his face, as the look of a man faced with the unpleasant duty
of explaining to his neighbor the fact that his car had been crushed by a green brontosaurus. He grimly stepped by, eyebrows
furrowed, as a furrowed field plowed a thousand years. His voice
droned .out my name, much the same way a cow expresses
sahsfachon. HIS legs were coated apples, like styrofoam bits and
static electricity; his arms, darkened with berry juice, like cheap
grape JUice that stains unbrushed teeth; and upper torso, zuc c hinI. Again he spoke, but this time the very sounds generated
black letters, spelling the words_ Each word and leiter
wrapped In flowers, while Celtic illumination held the group together.
As the leiters changed calligraphy styles, 1 read; "Do you give
sex for love or love for sex? ," the same way as a monkey nonchalantly realizes that he is going to be shot by a pair of smelly ,
bald apes _ I replied, "1 don't know." The salesman disappeared ,
lIke a wet Wicked witch of the west. The words melted as did
the monkey , and the smelly bald apes.
